919 COLLINS AVENUE, MIAMI BEACH
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA
(FOR LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS PLEASE CONTACT
THE PLANNING DEPT.)
Applicant requested continuance to the February 2013 meeting.
This case was continued at the August 3, 2012 meeting, the September 7, 2012
meeting, and the October 5, 2012 meeting. Sherbrooke Apts., Inc./Mitchell Scott
Investment Group, Inc., is appealing under Section 118-136 of the City Code an
administrative decision of the Planning Director which denied the proposed transfer of
Floor Area (FAR) for a project at 901, 909, and 919 Collins Avenue to the Board of
Adjustment. The Administrative Determination, dated April 10 2012, determined that a
proposed unification of three subject properties through the use of the proposed
Covenant in Lieu of Unity of Title is not a true “unified development site” as required by
Section 118-5, and the proposed construction of a rooftop addition on the Sherbrooke
Apartments through the use of a transfer of development rights does not conform with
the applicable Charter provision 1.03(c) or the Land Development Regulations.
