Regulations. An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the

6. File No. 1671. Portofino DRI - Notice of Proposed Change. The
applicants, TRG-Alaska I Ltd., and TRG-Alaska III, LLC., are
requesting to amend the Portofino Development of Regional Impact
(DRI) Development Order, as adopted by City of Miami Beach
Ordinance No. 98-3121, by 1) filling and bulkheading the existing boat
basin on the Alaska Parcel and 2) adding approximately 7,200 square
feet of lands to the DRI.
Board Comments:
• Allowing upzoning with a trade of land, is in the best interest of the
City and mitigates the density increase in other places.
• Concerned about the height of Block 1 as it creates an
inconsistency with the rest of the neighborhood. The massing
should be at Collins and South Pointe Drive and not distributed
throughout the entire block.
• Boat basin – filling or leaving as is needs to be looked at again when
there is a cohesive plan for the park.
• With respect to commercial uses, there is an anomaly at the base of
Portofino Tower if nothing else happens. Some consideration
should be given to placing a transitional element at the corner of
South Pointe and Alton Road.
• The pedestrian access to the waterfront through Murano should be
enhanced to work more like a public access and not a private road.
• There should be a transitional use between the pedestal and the
park. Residential uses are preferred. Would like to see limited
concessionary uses in the park.
• Park uses should not be micromanaged. Important to realize the
land trade; there should not be large scale commercial uses in the
park.
4 of 6
• When the park design and its programmatic uses have been
developed, the plan should be brought back to the Planning Board
for review.
Points of consensus:
• Importance of land swap to create bigger corridor next to basin.
• Need to redistribute heights and FAR in Block 1 and deal with open
court regulations. The open courtyards in concept plan do not
enhance the design of structures.
• City’s use of development rights at the park’s edge should be
limited to civic uses and perhaps very limited concessions that are
accessory to park uses (rest rooms, roller blade rental, water).
• Need for some transitional element between pedestal and the park.
Points of less consensus:
• Re-consider distribution of uses on Block 51, in particular uses on
Commerce Street, massing and revisiting open court regulations.
• Limited commercial uses along South Pointe Drive on
Goodman/Hinson.
Individual concerns:
• Closing alley on Block 1.
• Public access from Alton Road to the park.
• Commercial development on Block 52.
Motion: Summarize comments, create a model that shows massing of the concept
plan and recommend approval of proposed settlement agreement. Unanimously
approved 5-0.
