SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO ZONING ORDINANCE 89-2665
RELATIVE TO THE AMENDMENT OF THE OFFICIAL
ZONING DISTRICT MAP OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
AND THE CREATION OF THE RM-PRD ZONING DISTRICT
CLASSIFICATION - SETTING OF PUBLIC HEARINGS
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The City Administration recommends that the City Commission set a
date and time for a first reading public hearing on the attached
two ordinances amending Zoning Ordinance 89-2665.
BACKGROUND
In 1989 the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee (ZORC) designated
that portion of Fisher Island within the jurisdiction of Miami
Beach as RM-i, Residential Multi-Family Low Intensity. The
proposed site plan for the development on that island, which was
reviewed at the time of this RM-1 designation, has not been
amended by the developer. The master plan shows the development of
four nine story buildings and one seven story building which
comprise a total of 178 units within the five structures. The
parcel is 12:4 acres and the Floor Area Ratio of the development is
approximately 1.80 with a density of 14 units per acre.
A recent amendment to the RM-1 District classification has created
a height limitation of 50 feet for new construction. This height
restriction, along with some of the other development regulations
• for the RM-1 district, is not compatible with the approved site
plan for the subject parcel. The proposed ordinance is
specifically designed to address development on a large parcel,
such as the one propose on Fisher Island. It is conceivable,
indeed desirable, that other assembled large parcels of 10 acres or
more could be re-zoned to an RM-PRD classification in the future.
On August 3, 1993, the Planning Board voted 6-0 to "recommend to the
City Commission that the proposed ordinances be adopted.
•
ANALYSIS
•
The first amendment to the Ordinance amends the Official Zoning
District Map of the City by the addition of the RM-PRD, Multi
Family Planned Residential Development classification and 123
establishes the legal description of the subject property which is
to be re-zoned from the RM-1 District to the RM-PRD District on
Fisher Island. .
AGENDA
ITEM
9.- C
DATE
•
The following summarizes the second proposed amendment to the
Ordinance:
• Section 1 - Creates a definition for "Planned Residential
.Development" and requires that a site plan be
submitted to the Planning and Zoning Director for
approval.
Section 2 - Includes the RM-PRD District classification in the
list of established, districts.
• Section 3 - Creates the District purpose and lists the main
permitted uses. This section -also establishes the
development regulations and the setback
requirements. It should be noted that the setback
requirements listed in this subsection apply only
to the Fisher Island site; if in the future another
large parcel of land in the City of Miami Beach
were to be assembled, re-zoned to RM-PRD and were
to meet all of the other development requirements,
the setbacks would follow those of the RM-1,2, 3
Districts.
Section 4 - Eliminates the reference to the setback
requirements for Fisher Island as listed under RM-
1,2,3, as this is now specified in the RM-PRD
District regulations.
CONCLUSION
The Administration has concluded that the proposed amendments to
the Zoning Ordinance would effectively regulate large planned
residential developments of 10 acres or more, such as that being
developed on Fisher Island, and recommends that the City Commission
proceed to set a date and time certain for a first reading public
hearing for each amending ordinance.
