ANALYSIS
The Proposal
The subject property at 226 87th Terrace is currently zoned "GU Government Use
District" and is owned by the City. The subject site, which is sandwiched between Collins
and Harding Avenue on the northern boundary of the City, contains an open lot on the
west and a public parking lot on the east side. To the immediate south of the subject GU
site is a parking lot (zoned RM-2) owned by 8701 Collins Development, LLC, which is
also the owner of the "Biltmore Terrace" and adjacent parking lot to the east at 8701
Collins Avenue.
A proposal has been put forward, in combination with the privately held parcel to the
immediate south, for a new main use parking structure. The following is iequested as
part of the subject applications:
1. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow for residential uses in the parking
(P) Category future land use designation, to allow that designation to be
compatible with the surrounding residential categories.
2. A re-zoning of the city owned 'GU' property to 'RM-2', which is necessary in
order to provide a consistent zoning designation for the combined, larger site.
A separate code amendment is pending before the Planning Board that proposes to: (i)
establish regulations for main use garages and sign criteria for ground floor commercial
uses in parking garages located in the RM-2 district adjacent to North Shore Open
Space Park; and (ii) establish a process in which the City may erect City ldentification
Signs near the City's main entry points.
The proposed main use garage would include a mix of at least 100 public parking
spaces, private parking spaces, ground floor commercial uses, and residential uses. The
proposed building would also incorporate entrance signage for the City. The goal of the
development is to provide a signature building at the entrance to the Ciiy tnat witt
facilitate pedestrian activity in the area, encourage the public's use of the beach and the
North Shore Open Space Park, while enhancing the supply of public parking in the area.
Regardless of the subject ordinance, any development proposed for the site will be
subject to design review and site plan approval.

Planning and Zoning lssues
The "Parking (P)" future land use category provides for the following:
Purpose: to provide development opportunities for existing and new parking
facilities.
Uses which may be permitted; Parking facilities and commercial uses when
located on frontage opposite a land use category that permits commercial use.
The proposed development complies with this purpose, as it will be a main use garage.
However, residential uses are presently not permitted in this category. This can result in
garages that are incompatible with surrounding communities, especially if a garage is
located in an area that is primarily residential. Therefore an amendment is required in
order to ensure that main use garages that are compatible with the surrounding
residential districts. lt should be noted that for other sites with a future land use
designation of Parking (P), a zoning change or amendment will be required if they are
designated GU in order to have residential uses.
The GU zoning only allows government buildings and uses, including but not limited to
parking lots and garages; parks and associated parking; schools; performing arts and
culturalfacilities; monuments and memorials. Residential uses within a main use garage
would not be permitted by the present Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations, and
requires an amendment to the permitted uses in the future land use category and a
change to the zoning designation that would allow the desired residential use as a main
permitted use.
It is proposed that the Parking (P) future land use category be amended to allow for
residential uses subject to the density of the lowest abutting residential land use
category. lt is also proposed that the subject property be rezoned from "GU Government
Use District" to the "RM-2 Residential, Medium lntensity" district, as that would allow
both the residential use and parking garages. The proposed changes are compatible
with the properties abutting the site along Collins Avenue and Harding Avenue which are
zoned for multifamily residential uses.
City Gharter lssues
The request for changing the Zoning Map of the City is affected by the following City
Charter provision: Sections 1.03 (c), which partially states:
The floor area ratio of any propefty or street end within the City of Miami Beach
shall not be increased by zoning, transfer, or any other means from its current
zone floor area ratio as rt exlsfs on the date of adoption of this Chafter
Amendment (November 7, 2001), including any limitations on floor area ratios
which are in effect by virtue of development agreements through the full term of
such agreements, unless such increase in zone floor area ratio for any such
propefty shall first be approved by a vote of the electors of the City of Miami
Beach.
ln review of the floor area ratio (F.A.R.) limitation on the subject parcels, which are
currently zoned GU (Government Use), the following applies:
354
Commission Memorandum
226 8/h Terrace - Parking category comprehensive plan Amendment & zoning Map change
April 15, 2015
Sec. 142-425 (a). Development regulations.
The development regulations (setbacks, floor area ratio, sryns, parking, etc.) in
the GU governmenf use district shatt be the average of the reqiirements
contained in the surrounding zoning dr.sfricfs as determined by the ptanning and
zoning director, which shall be approved by the city commission.
The abutting zoning of the subject parcel, which is used to calculate the F.A.R. of the
parcel, is RM-2, which allows a maximum F.A.R. of 2.0. As the proposed zoning change
to RM-2 does not increase the established F.A.R. for the subject parcels, the requested
amendment complies with the requirements of the referenced Charter provision, subject
to City Commission approval. ln addition, the proposal is for a main use garage, wfricn
is not subject to the F.A.R. limits of the underlying zoning district pursuint to Section
130-68 (6) of the Land Development Regulations.
Gomprehensive Plan lssues
This application includes a text amendment to Policy 1.2 of the Future Land Use element
of the Compressive Plan. Under Section 163.3184(2), F.S., this amendment shall follow
the expedited state review process for adoption of comprehensive plan amendments.
This process requires a public hearing by the local planning agency (Planning Board), a
public transmittal hearing before the City Commission, after which the amendment must
be transmitted to several state agencies for a 30-day review period, and a final adoption
public hearing before the City Commission. The amendment is effective 31 days after it
is adopted if there are no appeals.
lnterlocalAgreement for Public Schoot Facility ptanning
The 2005 Florida Legislature adopted laws which are incorporated in the Florida
Statutes, requiring each local government to adopt an intergovernmental coordination
element as part of their comprehensive plan, as well as a statutory mandate to
implement public school concurrency. The Parking (P) future land use category as
proposed will allow a density limited by the lowest abutting residential district, wniin in
this case will be that of RM-1 or 60 units per acre. The lot area of this parcel is 0.35
acres. Based upon this data, the maximum number of units that could be developed for
this area is 21 units. The 0.35 acre lot to the south (7925 Collins Avenue) with an
underlying RM-2 future land use designation allows for a maximum density of 100 unitsper acre, or a total of 35 units. At this time, it is expected that the proposal for the
combined site will contain approximately 24 units, which is less than the maximum
number of units allowed on the existing RM-2 site.
Final site plan approval is contingent upon meeting Public School Concurrency
requirements and the applicant will be required to obtain a valid School Concurrency
Determination Certificate (Certificate) issued by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Such Certificate will state the number of seats reserved at each school level. ln the
event sufficient seats are not available, a proportionate share mitigation plan shall be
incorporated into a tri-party development agreement and duly ex-ecuted prior to the
issuance of a Building Permit.
PLANNING BOARD REVTEW
On August 26, 2014, the Planning Board (by a 6-0) transmitted the proposals to the City
Commission with a favorable recommendation

FISGAL IMPACT
ln accordance with Charter Section 5.02, which requires that the "City of Miami Beach
shall consider the long term economic impact (at least 5 years) of proposed legislative
actions," this shall confirm that the City Administration City Administration evaluited the
long term economic impact (at least 5 years) of this proposed legislative action. The
proposed Ordinance is not expected to have a negative fiscal impact upon the City, and
should increase the property's value, as new development is added to the City's tax
rolls.
SUMMARY

Comprehensive Plan and the change to the Zoning Map will allow for a main use parking
garage with residential and commercial components, which would add value to the siteas well as be a visual and aesthetic improvement to the neighborhood. These
amendments must be processed together, as they are interrelated to one another,
however, separate motions must be made for each application.
CONCLUS!ON
The Administration recommends that the City Commission open and continue the item to
a date certain of June 10,2015.
