LETTER TO COMMISSION
March 4, 1999
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Commission
~
FROM: Sergio Rodriguez, City Manager
SUBJECT: Loews Hotel Out Parcel Development
Pursuant to an inquiry raised by the Chairman and Members of the Miami Beach Redevelopment
Agency at the City CommissionlRedevelopment Agency meeting on March 3, 1999, the following
report has been prepared concerning the "out-parcel" development of the Loews project.
The original plans for the Loews calls for the development of a free-standing restaurant facility on
the southwest comer of the project site, next to the St. Moritz Hotel, referred to as the "out-parcel".
A copy of the original site plan and a conceptual rendering reflecting the location of the facility are
included with this L.T.C. While Loews included plans for the restaurant facility in the master
permit drawings, the original building permit that was issued did not include this component of the
project.
In order to preserve its rights under the original joint Design Review/Historic Preservation Board
(Joint Board) development approval, Loews has until the issuance of the last Certificate of
Occupancy for the hotel portion of the project to obtain a building permit for the out parcel
development. In the event Loews does not pull a building permit, Loews would have to go back to
the Joint Board for approval of the out parcel as a separate new application. Since the out parcel
falls on the portion of the site zoned MXE, the FAR falls well below 3.5, allowing the applicant
to proceed with a new application if the situation arises.
Since Loews is currently contemplating the use of the facility for a purpose other than a re5taurant
as originally planned, any significant change in use or design of the structure may require an
amendment to the existing development order by the Joint Board. Among the uses being considered
are meeting and banquet space or a spa facility. If the use does not vary significantly from the
intended use, as in the case of meeting/banquet space, an amendment will most likely not be
required. The Planning Department has requested correspondence from Loews once options have
been narrowed down.
On a related issue, the Hotel Status Report provided at the March 3, 1999 Commission Meeting,
reflected that Loews had lost its appeal to not have to pay road impact fees on the out-parcel
development, and that the fees were subsequently paid to the County as a prerequisite to pulling the
building permit.
