RECOMMENDATION
The Administretion recommends Ihat the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) adopt
the ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On March 13, 2024, a� the requesl of Commissioner Alex Femandez, lhe City Commission
referred a proposal to modify the future land use classification of Pnde Park (C4 M) to the Land
Use and Suslainabilily Committee (LUSC). On May 1, 2024, the item was deferred to a future
WSC dale, with no discussion.
On September 5, 2024, the LUSC discussed the proposal and recommended Ihat the City
Commission refer an ordinance to the Planning Board. On Ocrober 30, 2024, at Ihe request of
Commissioner Alex Fernandez, the Ciry Commission referred the ordinance to ihe Planning
Boartl (C4 K).
ANALYSIS
Pride Park is currently dassified as Public Facilities - Convention Center Facilities (PF-CCC) on
the City's Future Land Use Map (FWM). The purpose o( Ihis designation is to provide
development opportunities for facilities necessary to support the comention center.
Although open space, the area of Pride Park has a zoning classifcalion of Civic and Convention
2024
CeMer (CCC), which allows �he land area to be ulilized for purposes of establishing a larger
unifled site �hal indudes City Hall, the Convention Center and the future convention hotel, the
Holocaust Memorial and �he Botanical Gardens. The benefits of having a larger overall site
include the potential fuWre expansion of the comention center, as well as the ability to meet
minimum off-street parking requirements within the public gareges on the larger site. For example,
as a single development site, the minimum parking requirement for adjacen[ facilities may be
salisfed within those garages and parking facililies localed in the CCC district, due lo inclusion
within the larger unifed site.
As proposed, the attached ordinance creates a new fuWre land use category of"Recreation and
Open Space - Civic and Convention Center(ROS-CCC)," which would be specitic to Pride Park.
This new category would be similar to the Recreation and Open Space (ROS) FLUM category,
and require that Pride Park remain as open, park space. It would aiso be consistent with the
underlying zoning designation of CCC, and allow(or a continued, unifed site.
The exisling Public Facility: Convention Center Facilities (PF-CCC) fuWre land use
designation provides for the following:
POLICY 1.1.18.a PUBLIC FACILITY: CONVENTION CENTER FAGLITIES (PF-CCC)
Purpose: To provide development opportunities for existing convention cenler and
facilities necessary to support fhe convention center.
Uses which may be permitted: Convention facilities.
Intensity Limifs: Intensity may be limited by such set back, height, Floor area retio andlor
other restrictions as ihe City Commission acling in a legisla�ive capacity determines can
effectuate the purpose of this land use calegory and otherwise implement complementary
public policy. However, in no case shall lhe intensity exceed a floor area ra[io of 275.
The proposed Recreation and Open Space—Civic and Convention Center(ROS-CCC)future
land use designalion provides for the following:
POLICY 1.1.18.b RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE - CIVIC AND CONVENTION
CENTERIROS-CCC)
Purpose�To Drovide develooment 0000rtunities for exis�inq and new recreation and ooen
SDaCe faCilitie5lo SUDoort Ihe Wnvenlion Center.
Uses which mav be permitted: Recrea�ion and ooen soace facililies and lemporery uses
related to events at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Intensiry Limits� Intensitv mav be limited bv such set back heiqhL Floor area ratio and/or
other res�rictions as the CiN Commission actinq in a leqislalive capacib tletermines wn
eHectuate the ouroose o/[his land use cateuory and otherwise implement comolementary
public policy. However in no case shall the intensiry exceed a floor area retio o!275. The
allowable intensiN from anv oarcel desionated ROS-CCC can be utilized in anv oarcel
desiqnated PF-CCC.
In addition to this text change, �he FW M is proposed to be amended by re-designating Pride Park
from [he current PF-CCC to ROS-CCC. Attached, (or reference, are maps illustrating the current
and proposed future land use designations.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REVIEW PROCESS
The total land area involved in Ihis application is approximately 574 acres (250,034 SF), nol
including pohions within a righFof-way. Under Section 163.3187 F.S., land use map amendments
of less than 10 acres in size may be considered "small-scale' amendments, which require only
one public hearing before the City Commissioq which shall be an adoption hearing. Upon
adoplion, the bcal govemment shall send a copy of the adopted small-scale amendment to the
