TITLE. CANOPY PARK- ZONING DISTRICT CHANGE
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING DISTRICT MAP,
REFERENCED IN SECTION 7.2.1.2, ENTITLED "DISTRICT MAP," OF THE MIAMI
BEACH RESILIENCY CODE, PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.5.1, ENTITLED
"CHANGE TO ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES (REZONING)," BY CHANGING
THE ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION FOR A PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED
AT 701 WEST AVENUE, AND WHICH IS COMPRISED OF LESS THAN 10 ACRES,
FROM THE CURRENT ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF CD-2, "COMMERCIAL,
MEDIUM INTENSITY," TO GU, "GOVERNMENT USE;" PROVIDING FOR
CODIFICATION, REPEALER, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) adopt
the subject ordinance.
BACKGROUNDIHISTORY
On May 15, 2024, at the request of Commissioner Tanya K. Bhatt, the City Commission referred
a proposal pertaining to the zoning and future land use designation of Canopy Park (C4 AC) to
the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC) and the Planning Board. On June 10, 2024,
the LUSC discussed the item and recommended that the Planning Board approve the proposed
ordinances, including a new future land use designation of Recreation Open Space (ROS).
ANALYSIS
As part of the Development Agreement for the 500 Alton Road project (Five Park), the developer
designed,constructed,and conveyed a 3.0-acre public park to the City of Miami Beach. The park,
located at 701 Alton Road, is a municipal park, operated by the city for the benefit of the public
On August 23, 2022, 82%of the City's electorate voted to name the park as "Canopy Park."
Canopy Park is currently,classified on the city zoning map and future land use map as CD-2
(Commercial, Medium Intensity),which is the zoning and future land use classification at the time
of the original development agreement.The park is also located within the Alton Gateway overlay-
When the Canopy Park parcel became city owned, the zoning for the property changed to
Government Use (GU). In this regard, section 7.2.1.1.b of the LDRs specifies that all city-awned
properties are zoned GU, although they may not be designated as such on the zoning map:
Section 7.2.1.1.b
2. GU properties. Except as otherwise provided in section 7.2.16, all city-owned
properties are zoned GU although they may not be designated on the map.
Page 1460 of 1859
The proposed ordinance would formally amend the zoning map, and re-zone Canopy Park as
GU.
The future land use designation of the Canopy Park site is also still commercial, medium intensity
and did not automatically convert to another future land use classification. In this regard, the re-
classification of the future land use designation of the park to "Recreation and Open Space
Including Waterways (ROS)" is proposed as a separate, companion ordinance. The proposed
amendment to the Zoning Map is required to be processed concurrently with the companion
Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment, as they are interrelated; however, separate motions
must be made for each application.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On September 24, 2024,the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the proposed
ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation (7-0).
UPDATE
The subject ordinance was approved by the City Commission at First Reading on November 20,
2024, with no changes.
