PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION OF THE
PLANNING BOARD TO REPEAL THE CITY'S 1980 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AND ADOPT THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH YEAR 2000 COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN, PURSUANT TO THE "LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPREHENSIVE

ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.
BACKGROUND
The State of Florida Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development
Regulation Act of 1986 and subsequent rules require that all local governments prepare,submit
to the State and adopt Comprehensive Plans in accordance with State law.
In June and July, 1988, the Planning Board and City Commission held public hearings and
authorized transmittal of the draft Comprehensive Plan to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) for initial compliance review. (Exhibit I)
In December, 1988, the DCA transmitted a list of Departmental Objections, Recommendations,
and Comments on the draft Plan. The Planning and Zoning staff has made the Plan
modifications required by the State. These are included in -Exhibit II, a separate document
(required by DCA) entitled, City of Miami Beach Response to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs Objections, Recommendations, and Comments.
.
On July 6, 1989, the Planning Board held a public hearing and voted to recommend that the
City Commisssion repeal the City's 1980. Comprehensive Plan and adopt the City of Miami
Beach -:Year 2000 COmprehensive. Plan, subject. to changes. as required by the State:and .
recommended by the Planning-Board: - .
The proposed Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan will replace the existing Miami Beach
Comprehensive Plan that was adopted by the City in 1980. It is an entirely new and greatly
expanded document. Upon adoption by the City Commission, the Year 2000 Plan will
supercede the 1980 Plan in its entirety. Also, the Zoning Map and Ordinance must be
compatible with the Future Land Use Element. If zoning changes are proposed which are not
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,a lengthy public review and hearing process and State
approval are required. `
The majority of the land use categories and all proposed floor area ratio ranges in the Year
2000 Comprehensive are identical to those recommended by the Planning Board in the City's
proposed Zoning Ordinance. The table on pages 3 and 4 lists the zoning districts and the
corresponding Future Land Use Map designations.
The Year 2000 Plan was prepared in accord with the specifications set forth in the 1986 Act
and in Rule 9J-5, FAC. This rule establishes Minimum Criteria for Review of Local
Government Comprehensive Plans and Determination of Compliance.
The Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan contains eleven elements. These elements are briefly
described in the Plan Summary section of this report. Each element contains certain
components which will be adopted for implementation, and other components that are not
adopted for implementation but rather serve as supporting background information. The 6
support material includes inventories of various factors, analyses of current and probable
AGRENDA

future conditions, and related components such as summaries, conclusions, and
recommendations.
The contents required to be adopted are the "Goals, Objectives and Policies". Several of the
elements are also required to include as adopted components certain maps or schedules of
future conditions, plus explanatory information. Most important are the land use map of the
Future Land Use Element and the "Five-Year Schedule of Improvements" in the Capital
Improvements Element.
Also required to be adopted are the Monitoring and Evaluation Procedures. This special
purpose component outlines the program the City will follow to monitor and periodically
report on future conditions and progress toward implementing the Plan.
Although not part of the Plan, the City is also required to adopt a Public Participation
Program, which include the Year 2000 public meetings which have been held since 1983.
Finally, the City is required to document which of the State Comprehensive Plan goals and
policies are addressed in the City's Plan.
The proposed documents prepared by the Planning and Zoning Department in accordance with
State law include:
1. The draft City of Miami Beach Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan, dated August, 1988,
which contains all required Plan elements, general requirements, and extensive
supporting data and analysis. The supporting documentation is required to be
submitted to the State but is not required to be adopted. This document was that which
was approved last year by the Planning Board and City Commission for transmittal to
the State for initial compliance review. (Exhibit I)
2. City of Miami Beach Response to the Florida Department of Community Affairs
Objections. Recommendations, and Comments, which includes each objection from
DCA, the City's response, and corresponding Plan changes required as a result of the
objections. (Exhibit II)
3. A document entitled, City of Miami Beach Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan -
Components To Be Adopted,dated June 1989, which contains only those portions of the
revised Plan to be adopted by the City Commission. No supporting documentation is
included. (Exhibit III)
4. A fourth document will be prepared subsequent to all public hearings entitled,
Additional City of Miami Beach Comprehensive Plan Modifications. This will contain
all changes made in the proposed Plan subsequent to the preparation of the draft Plan.
(Exhibit IV)
THE REQU1ST
The City Commission is requested to adopt the required portions of the Plan and related
documents as listed above. This hearing is the fourth of five (5) scheduled public hearings,
prior to adoption of the Plan.
A ELEMENTS OF THE DRAFT PLAN
1. . Future Land Use Element
The Future Land Use Element sets forth the physical plan for the future development of the
City. It describes the appropriate location for future land uses and promulgates the policies
regulating the location and development of all land uses. The Future Land Use Map is the
focus of the Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan.
The most notable change in the Future Land Use Element is the proposed method by which
residential, commercial, mixed use, and some public facilities development will be regulated.
It is proposed that intensity of development be regulated by Floor Area Ratio rather than by
density because the scale and the intensity of development are of greater importance to the
City than strict adherence to density limitations without regard for excellence of design.
As was noted earlier,the proposed land use classifications and their respective floor area ratios
in the Future Land Use Element are identical to those recommended by the Planning Board
in the City's draft Zoning Ordinance with only minor exceptions. These exceptions are
primarily related to combining single family zoning districts into one land use category in the
Comprehensive Plan and changes in the Governmental Use (GU) district in the Zoning
Ordinance to correspond to State requirements for future land use categories of recreation and
open space, public facilities, parking, and conservation.
The comparison of proposed Zoning Ordinance Districts and Future Land Use classifications
is shown on the following page.

Hotels in a local historic district or listed on the National Register of Historic Places may have
an FAR range of 1.75 to 3.5.
Note: Parking structures and/or at-grade lots are excluded from Floor Area Ratio calculations.
The majority of Miami Beach is not recommended for a change from existing development
patterns since the City is nearly totally developed. South Pointe is the only neighborhood in
which substantial new construction is anticipated to occur; however, new hotel construction
and substantial rehabilitation is expected to occur near the Convention Center.
2. Capital Improvements Element
The purpose of the Capital Improvements Element is to evaluate the City's capability to
finance the needed public facilities improvements identified in other elements of the
comprehensive plan. It demonstrates that the Plan is economically feasible.
Since the City is virtually 100% developed, extension of water and sewer lines, storm sewers,
and construction of new streets are not considerations.
The following Level of Service Standards (LOS) are proposed for adoption:
Roads:
Local LOS D
Collector LOS D
Arterial LOS D
Limited Access LOS D
*Level of Service (LOS) for a roadway is a measure representing the collective factors
of speed, travel time, traffic interruptions, freedom to maneuver, safety, driving
comfort and convenience, and operating costs provided by a highway facility under a
particular volume condition: Levels of Service are expressed as letters "A" through "F",
with "A" being the best condition and "F" the worst.
Although the majority of the City's roadways are currently operating at LOS A, the
area around the Convention Center is at.LOS -.Additionally, Dade County and .the
•State.have adopted LOS'D for.'roadways under their respective jurisdictions. As such,
-to. emai.n consistent with'County.and State plans, this level of service is recommended •
for adoption.

RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE LEVELS OF SERVICE CONTINUED
Tennis Court 1 per 3,000 persons
Multiple-Use Courts 1 per 4,000 persons

Designated Field Area 1 per 10,000 persons
(baseball, softball, soccer, etc.)

Boat Ramp 1 per 100,000 persons
Outdoor Amphitheater 1 per 50,000 persons
Activity Buildings for Multiple Uses 1 per 10,000 persons
The National Recreation and Park Association's suggested minimum requirement for
recreation and open space is established as the minimum Level of Service Standard for
the entire system to ensure adequate provisions are maintained for the future,projected
population. (Ten (10) acres of recreation and open space per one-thousand (1,000)
permanent and seasonal residents.)
For recreational facilities only, the minimum Level of Service Standard shall be 6.0
acres of per one-thousand (1,000) permanent and seasonal residents. (This requirement
excludes public landscape open space and the Atlantic beachfront area.)
3. Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Groundwater
Recharge Element
See Capital Improvements Element
4. Housing Element
The Housing Element inventories and analyzes the City's future housing needs based upon the
projected population of the City in the Year 2000. The conclusion is that there is a projected
net need for 650 units by the Year 2000, and there is sufficient land to accommodate those
units. It is also projected that the number of low income households will decrease from 17,000
in 1987 to 11,000 in the year 2000.
In general, the City's future housing strategy involves four major issues: 1) preservation of
existing single family neighborhoods;2) design control of conversions,rehabilitation and new,
totally rebuilt properties to avoid excessively high densities and to promote a variety of unit
sizes and types; 3) suitable housing opportunities for the elderly and other low and moderate
income groups; and 4) the involvement of the City in providing sites for housing development
suitable for families; i.e. townhouses.
5.
Traffic Circulation Element
Since there is little vacant land in the City for right of way acquisition, there will be
constrained roadways throughout the City, and lower levels of service are projected, as shown
in the Capital Improvements Element summary of this report. Public transportation should
be used to improve service on these constrained facilities.
6. Mass Transit Element
•
Since Metro -Dade County Operates the mass transit�•system which* functions in Miami-Bea.ch-;
this• element refers primarily to the County's Plan for future transit. iri_provements.
7. Recreation and Open Space Element
The City has sufficient land devoted to recreation and open space to accommodate the needs
of the future population in the Year 2000. The focus of this element is on provision of
facilities which meet the needs of both the existing population and the projected younger
families. Specific proposed policies include development of Pine Tree Park as a waterside
park, including docking facilities, completion of the beachfront park and promenade system,
and physical improvements to the City's current inventory of parks,among others. Acquisition
of additional land for parks and open space is not recommended while maintenance and
upgrading of existing facilities is encouraged.
8. Conservation and Coastal Management Element
This element relates to procedures for improving the marine and terrestrial animal habitat,
vegetation land, air, water, visual and aesthetic quality of Miami Beach. Protection of the
beachfront and hurricane preparedness are the major components of this element.
9. Intergovernmental Coordination Element
This element establishes policies for improved cooperation and coordination with adjacent
municipalities, Dade County, regional, and state agencies.
5 10
10. Historic Preservation Element
This optional element sets forth the City's current emphasis on preservation activities and
upon design review. It provides for identification of all historically significant structures by
1995 and recommends that studies be undertaken to identify, if appropriate, future historic
districts. Areas identified for possible study include the Pine Tree Drive area from 28th Street
to 63rd Street, Lake Pancoast/Flamingo Drive area, and the Flamingo Park neighborhood.
The preparation of this element was optional, but it was completed in recognition that historic
preservation has an important role in encouraging the rehabilitation of older structures,
revitalization of the City, the elimination of blighting structures, the reopening of closed
buildings, and for cultural and artistic reasons.
11. Ports, Aviation, and Related Facilities
Although the City has no ports or airports, we were required to prepare this element.
B. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS(DCA) OBJECTIONS
AND THE CITY'S RESPONSE
The Department of Community Affairs has transmitted a list of objections and
recommendations which must be addressed by the City, as shown in Exhibit II. Primarily,
these objections related to revising and adding several new objectives and policies to make
them more specific and measurable. The Infrastructure Element required major revisions to
the text to include data and analysis in order to conform to Rule 9J-5, FAC. We were also
required to write a Ports and Aviation Element, even though there are none listed or projected
to be developed in the City.
C. COMPONENTS TO BE ADOPTED
For ease of understanding, the Planning and Zoning Department has compiled those portions
of the Plan to be adopted in a separate document entitled City of Miami Beach Year 2000
Comprehensive Plan - Components to be Adopted. No support documentation is included in
this document.
D. ADDITIONAL PLAN MODIFICATIONS
The State also requires that the City submit a list of all Comprehensive Plan changes from
the document which was transmitted to the Department of Community Affairs in September,
1988. These changes will be identified in Exhibit IV of the submittal of the adopted Plan to
the State, and can include those changes adopted by the City Commission which have been
recommended by the City Administration, Planning Board, citizens, and/or the City
Commission itself. These changes will also include modifications to the support documentation
needed to justify such changes.
The Comprehensive Plan modifications which should be included in Exhibit IV are those
which have been recommended by the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee (ZORC). These
modifications generally affect the Future Land Use Element and Capital Improvements
Elements. They include:
1. Changes in land.use categories and floor area ratios and the City's Future Land
Use Map to correspond'to those recommended by the Planning Board.
• 2. Deletion of any reference to light rail transit.
3. The addition of the University of Miami Fisher Island property within the City
of Miami Beach.
4. The rezoning of 600 West Avenue from CPS-2 to CPS-4.
5. The addition of the Residential Office (RO) and Townhome (TH) land use
classifications to the Future Land Use Element.
6. The exchange of land with the Hebrew Academy High School and a portion of
the Par 3 Golf Course.
7. A Recreation and Open Space land use designation for the Par 3 Golf Course,
unless the City Commission at some future date determines it to be surplus
property. In this case, the property would be designated for Townhomes.
Should the City Commission provide further direction and information on the proposed
Symphony Hall/Opera House, this item will be included in the list of additional modifications.

PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS
Since the City is nearly totally developed, the Plan does not substantially affect the majority
of land uses in Miami Beach. The principal concepts behind the preparation of this proposed
document are as follows: 1) the need to recognize excellence of design; 2) future development
should be compatible with surrounding architecturally significant buildings; 3) the need for
new construction and development in South Pointe; 4) the projection of a younger population
base and the provision of amenities to attract that base; and 5) the expansion of tourist and
convention related facilities.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt a resolution scheduling a
public hearing in September to consider the adoption of the Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan.
It is further recommended that this hearing be scheduled immediately before the hearing on
the proposed Zoning Ordinance.
