WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach desires to create a program to promote the
construction of housing affordable to households with incomes at or below 140% of the
area-wide median income; and
WHEREAS, 51 percent of the City households are paying more than 30 percent
of their income towards housing; and
WHEREAS, 20 percent of all homeowners on Miami Beach are paying 30 percent
to 49.9 percent of their household income for housing; and
WHEREAS, 26 percent of all renters are paying 30 percent to 49.0 percent of their
household income for housing; and
WHEREAS, 29 percent of all renters are paying 50 percent or more of their
household income for housing; and
WHEREAS, the construction of workforce housing is intended to: (1) allow
households with incomes at or below 140% of the area-wide median income to have
greater housing choices in the City; (2) increase the availability of housing in the City for
public employees and other workers whose income cannot support the high cost of
housing that is located close to their workplace and who, as a result, are increasingly
priced out of housing opportunities; (3) assist City employers in reducing critical labor
Page 1 of 9
shortages of skilled and semi- skilled workers by providing housing that will be accessible
to the worker's workplaces; and (4) reduce traffic congestion by shortening commute
distances for employees who work in the City but who otherwise would live elsewhere
and encouraging more employees to live in the city, rather than commute in; and
WHEREAS, the single most important step the City can take to make housing cost
less for most people is to change city land development regulations to allow more
affordable and workforce housing to be built, which means increasing the allowable
building heights and densities, in places that are within a reasonable walking distance of
transit; and
WHEREAS, there are often market barriers to the construction of housing; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to support both affordable, low income and workforce
housing, the City seeks to increase the density limits in certain multi-family residential,
mixed use, commercial, performance standard, and town center districts in order to be
able to enable such housing opportunities; and
WHEREAS, the City seeks to change the rules to allow new housing to be built,
and the private sector will do the rest. If this de facto supply constraint is removed, it
should be possible to increase the supply to the point where people with average-paying
jobs can afford to buy or rent homes without public subsidy; and
WHEREAS, the amendments set forth below are necessary to accomplish all of
the above objectives.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA:
SECTION 1. The following amendments to the City's 2025 Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Element are hereby adopted:
CHAPTER 1
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
OBJECTIVE 1: LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Policy 1.2 The land development regulations which implement this Comprehensive Plan
shall, at a minimum, be based on and be consistent with s. 163.3202, F.S., and shall
further be based on the following standards for land use category, land use intensity and
land use:
* * *
Page 2 of 9
Pursuant to the procedures and limitations of the Land Development Regulations, the
maximum density of the underlying future land use category may be increased by up to
80 percent beyond the allowable density in the underlying future land use category for
developments that incorporate workforce or affordable housing units. The additional
density may only be utilized for workforce or affordable housing units.
Parking (P)
Purpose: to provide development opportunities for existing and new parking facilities.
Uses which may be permitted; Parking facilities and commercial and residential uses
when located on frontage opposite a land use category that permits commercial use.
Intensity Limits: Intensity may be limited by such set back, height, floor area ratio and/or
other restrictions as the City Commission acting in a legislative capacity determines can
effectuate the purpose of this land use category and otherwise implement complementary
public policy. However, in no case shall the intensity exceed a floor area ratio on 3.0.
* * *

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
ANALYSIS
BACKGROUND
On January 25, 2017, the City Commission held a workforce and affordable housing workshop. As part of this
workshop, the Commission recommended that the following matters be referred to the Land Use and Development
Committee for discussion and recommendation:
1. The requirements of Miami-Dade County for municipalities to establish workforce housing action plans;and
2. Applicable Comprehensive Plan Amendments and potential incentives,as it pertains to workforce housing in
the City.
On February 15, 2017, the Land Use Committee discussed these items and recommended that the following
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations be referred to the Planning
Board:
1. Amend the Comprehensive Plan to reduce the goal of workforce and affordable units from the current 16,000
to 6,300,as well as amend applicable objectives, policies and goals related to maximum densities.
Page 538 of 1633
2. Amend the Land Development Regulations to provide minimum and average unit size reductions for workforce
and affordable housing projects.
3. Amend the Land Development Regulations to provide required off-street parking reductions for workforce and
affordable housing projects.
On March 1, 2017, at the request of Commissioner John Aleman, the Mayor and City Commission referred
the subject items to Planning Board.
There are two companion items related to requirements and incentives in the Land Development Regulations
for workforce housing and affordable housing.
PLANNING ANALYSIS
The Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations contain policies intended to encourage the
development of affordable housing. However, the incentives have been limited and have not been very successful at
encouraging the development of new affordable housing units without the use of public subsidies. Additionally, due to
increases in the desirability and land values in Miami Beach, there has been a loss of housing suitable for the
workforce. This has led to much of the City's workforce having to relocate outside of the City, leading to increased
reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and traffic congestion along the City's limited access points.
The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment would further incentivize the development of workforce and
affordable housing by providing for additional density for the construction of such units. Additionally, the amendment
ensures that other policies that apply to the development of affordable housing also apply to the development of
workforce housing.
The density increase allows the City to provide an 80 percent density increase beyond the underlying allowable
density to be used only for workforce or affordable units. Additional requirements and restrictions may also be placed
within the Land Development Regulations.
The amendment also modifies the City's objectives for the development of workforce and affordable housing. It is
proposed that Objective 1 of the Housing Element be modified from requiring the maintenance of 16,000 affordable
units by 2020 to a more attainable standard of 6,800 workforce and affordable units by 2030. Due to limitations in
floor area and the high cost of land, the City feels that the 6,800 number can be achieved with the proposed
modifications to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations.
City Charter Issues
The request for modifications to the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with City Charter Section 1.03 (c), related to
FAR,which partially states the following:
The floor area ratio of any property or street end viithin the City of Miami Beach shall not be
increased by zoning, transfer,or any other means from its current zone floor area ratio as it exists on
the date of adoption of this Charter Amendment(November 7, 2001), including any limitations on
floor area ratios Mich are in effect by virtue of development agreements through the full term of
such agreements, unless such increase in zone floor area ratio for any such property shall first be
approved by a vote of the electors of the City of Miami Beach.
While the proposed ordinances increase the allowable density for workforce and affordable housing, increased
density does not equate to increased FAR. While FAR results in the amount of square footage that can be
constructed, density relates to the number of units per acre that can be constructed. Density, therefore relates to the
number and size of units permitted within the allowable square footage.
Comprehensive Planning Process
Page 539 of 1633
This application includes a proposed text amendment to Policy 1.2 of the Future Land Use element of the
Compressive Plan. Under Section 163.3184(2), F.S., this amendment shall follow the expedited state review
process for adoption of comprehensive plan amendments. This process requires a public hearing by the local
planning agency (Planning Board), a public transmittal hearing before the City Commission, after which the
amendment must be transmitted to several state agencies for a 30-day review period, and a final adoption public
hearing before the City Commission. The amendment is effective 31 days after it is adopted if there are no appeals.
Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning
The 2005 Florida Legislature adopted laws which are incorporated in the Florida Statutes, requiring each local
government to adopt an intergovernmental coordination element as part of their comprehensive plan, as well as a
statutory mandate to implement public school concurrency. The overlay district as proposed does increase the
maximum residential density,therefore a preliminary school concurrency determination is not necessary.
Final site plan approval of any proposed development on the site is contingent upon meeting Public School
Concurrency requirements and the applicant will be required to obtain a valid School Concurrency Determination
Certificate (Certificate) issued by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Such Certificate will state the number of
seats reserved at each school level. In the event sufficient seats are not available, a proportionate share mitigation
plan shall be incorporated into a tri-party development agreement and duly executed prior to the issuance of a
Building Permit.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On May 23, 2017, the Planning Board discussed the item and continued it to June 27, 2017. The Planning Board
transmitted the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment Ordinance to the City Commission on June 27, 2017,
with a favorable recommendation.
UPDATE
The subject amendment was approved at First Reading on July 26, 2017. All required comments
from the applicable review agencies have been received. The only concern expressed was in
comments from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), specifically with regard to
potential impacts of 6,800 additional housing units on certain State Roads (Julia Tuttle and
MacArthur Causeways).
City staff has analyzed the potential impact of 6,800 additional housing units, which is the maximum
permitted under this amendment, at the increased density proposed. The analysis by the City shows
no impact to actual Levels of Service on the Julia Tuttle or MacArthur Causeway, when taking into
account reversed traffic patterns (i.e. people both living AND working on Miami Beach, as opposed
to commuting back and forth to work). City staff, as of this writing, has transmitted a response and is
in communication with FDOT to resolve their concerns.
In the unlikely event that FDOT requests a modification to address future density, a non-substantive
amendment may be proposed on the floor of the City Commission meeting, in order to address future
density increases.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment.
