SETTING THE PUBLIC HEARING
The current district purpose characterizes the district by providing a list of uses such as "offices on
the second floor, sales, storage, processing, wholesaling, motor vehicles repairand towing services."

purpose," the proposed ordinance amends Sections 142-481, 142-482, and 142-485 to include a
better description of the district purpose; a list of main permitted uses, and a list of prohibited uses
respectively. The proposed ordinance clarifies the vague language within these sections. These
proposed revisions include a more refined and succinct district purpose, and a specific list of main
permitted uses which aim to reflect the desires of the surrounding residents.
The Administration recommends that the Commission set a first reading public hearing for the April 16,
2008 meeting.
Adviso Board Recommendation:
At the June 26, 2007 meeting, the Planning Board recommended by a unanimous vote (6-0, one

CONSIDER A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CODE OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, AMENDING CHAPTER 142, "ZONING DISTRICTS
AND REGULATIONS," DIVISION 11, "I-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL

J_L9:(~:ZeFIT
At the January 23, 2007 Planning Board meeting, the Planning Department held a workshop
open to the public regarding issues within the Sunset Harbor Neighborhood.
A significant amount of time was spent in discussions with community members, relevant
City departments and other agencies to determine how to best satisfy the neighborhoods'
goals. The result is an Action Plan containing nine "Action Items" and information concerning
who will be responsible for implementing the item and project schedule. (See Attachment
.,A„~
At the March 27, 2007 Planning Board meeting, these nine action items were presented and
discussed. At the conclusion of the discussion the Planning Board directed staff to prepare
a draft for the revision of the current Purpose and Permitted Uses for the I-1 zoning district,
discussed within Action Item 3.
At the June 26, 2007 Planning Board meeting staff presented proposed amendments to the
I-1 zoning district to include specified uses. In addition, the proposed ordinance also
amends Chapter 130, Article III, Section 130-68, "Commercial and noncommercial parking
garages," to permit parking structures within the I-1 district.
City Commission Memorandum
Urban Light Industrial District (1-1) Purpose and Uses
March 12, 2008
ANALYSIS
2
The Sunset Harbor Neighborhood is divided into three main zoning districts: RM-3,
Residential Multifamily High Intensity; CD-2, Commercial District Medium Intensity; and the I-
1, Light Industrial District. The I-1, district is located within the middle of the Sunset Harbor
neighborhood, (see Attachment "B") and is bounded by the east lot line of those properties
facing West Avenue, 20th Street to the north, Bay Road to the west and gerrymandering lot
lines to the south. Currently, a great majority of the uses within the I-1 district are light
industrial, with the exception of Publix and several other commercial uses, which vary from
one non-conforming office use on a ground floor to a number of small retail stores. Some of
these light industrial uses are not permitted in any other zoning district within the City. This
is a district that even an urban environment such as Miami Beach needs to serve the City as
a whole.
The current district purpose characterizes the district by providing a list of uses such as
"offices on the second floor, sales, storage, processing, wholesaling, motor vehicles repair
and towing services." While the current main permitted uses are listed as those "that are
consistent with the district purpose," the proposed ordinance amends Sections 142-481,
142-482, and 142-485 to include a better description of the district purpose; a list of main
permitted uses, and a list of prohibited uses respectively.
The proposed ordinance clarifies the vague language within these sections. These
proposed revisions include a more refined and succinct district purpose, and a specific list of
main permitted uses which aim to reflect the desires of the surrounding residents. As a result
of these amendments, main use parking structures with ground floor, neighborhood-type
retail would be permitted. And as referenced within the district purpose, the prohibited uses
section would be amended to include all residential uses.
In order to include main use parking garages and parking lots as a main permitted uses,
staff has proposed that Section 130-68 and Section 130-70 be amended in order to include
the I-1.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Ordinance is not expected to have any fiscal impact.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
At the June 26, 2007 meeting, the Planning Board recommended by a unanimous vote (6-0,
one member absent) that the City Commission approve the ordinance including two
modifications: main use commercial and non-commercial parking garages and lots to be
conditional uses notwithstanding the provisions as set forth in Section 130-69.5, and the
other to amend paragraph (1) c. of Section 130-68 to include the following: "In the I-1 district,
ground floor commercial uses, consistent with section 142-482, shall be provided. The
Design Review or Historic Preservation Board shall be authorized to require additional active
commercial uses at levels above the ground floor, if determined necessary."
LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
At the February 11, 2008 LUDC meeting, neighbors brought up the issue of allowing
residential uses in the Industrial District. The Committee concluded that the City should
maintain the policy of not allowing residential uses within the I-1 District in order to preclude
City Commission Memorandum
Urban Light Industrial District (1-1) Purpose and Uses
March 12, 2008 Page 3
any potential conflict between these uses. It was agreed to refer the ordinance, as
presented, to the full Commission for discussion at the public hearing.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission set a first reading public hearing
for the April 16 meeting.
Pursuant to Section 118-164(2), when a request to amend the Land Development
Regulations changes the actual list of permitted, conditional or prohibited uses in a zoning
category, regardless of the acreage of the area affected, the City Commission shall hold iwo
advertised public hearings on the proposed ordinance. At least one hearing shall be held
after 5:00 p.m. The second public hearing shall be held at least ten days after the first
hearing and shall be advertised at least five days prior to the public hearing. The
required advertisements shall be no less than two columns wide by ten inches long in a
standard size or tabloid size newspaper, and the headline in the advertisement shall be in a
type no smaller than 18 point.
Pursuant to Section 118-164(4) of the City Code, an affirmative vote offive-sevenths shall
be necessary in order to enact any amendments to the Land Development Regulations.

Sunset Harbor Neighborhood -Action Items
ACTION ITEMS
The action items are a listing of activities in which City agencies and citizens can be engaged in
order to achieve the neighborhood goals. These items are divided into short, mid and long-term
categories. Short-term action items are activities that City agencies may implement with existing
resources and authorities within one year. Mid-term action items require more detailed analysis and
may take between one and two years, while Long-term action items may require new or additional
resources or authorities, and may take between three and five years (or more) to implement.
• ACTION ITEM 1: Perform a study on whether or not to limit the Maximum Lot Area and/or
number of lots which could be aggregated with the I-1 district for development.
Lot Aggregation: Lot aggregation could be limited within the I-1 district through Overlay
Zoning. The intent of this restriction is to minimize the development of large structures which
would be out of scale with the surrounding buildings.
Note: The number of lots allowed fo be aggregated requires furtherstudy. Staff will
be conducting an analysis of the areas historical platting as well as the existing, as-
builtpatterns. The I-1 district has a unique development pattern consisting of many
through lots without alleys. Staffwill take into consideration all relevant development
criteria with regards to the limiting of lot aggregation, including, FAR, setbacks,
height and parking regulations. Another method to limit the "appearance" of large
block buildings is through the use of Design Standards, which is detailed in Action
Item 2.
Coordinating Entity: Planning Department
Timeline: Short-term
• ACTION ITEM 2: Develop design standards for all development over a certain square
footage.
This action item will be developed along with action item 1. Possible design standards
include:

Coordinating Entitv: Planning Department
Timeline: Short-term to Mid-term (to be developed in conjunction with Action Item 1)
• ACTION ITEM 3: Clarify the Purpose and Uses for I-1 district within the code.
Action Item 3 shall be developed in conjunction with Action Item t and Action Item 2
Planning Department staff is working on a list of compatible and incompatible uses in order
to revise the section of the code. Below is a preliminary revised "Purpose" statement:
Note: The current CMB 1-1 zoning Sec. 142-482. Main Permitted Uses reads: "The
main permitted uses in fhe I-1 light industrial district are those uses that are
consistent with the district purpose." As written, this section is very vague and has
been difficult fo interpret. Therefore, Planning Deparimentstaffis working on a list of
specific uses which can be added to this section of the Zoning Ordinance.
For Example:
Main permitted uses. The following uses may be permitted in the I-1 district
1. Assembly or packaging of goods including food and beverage products, small
electronics, watches, jewelry, clocks, musical instruments, and products from
previously prepared materials (cloth, leather, canvas, rubber, etc.)
2. Light manufacturing, including: ceramic products, glass products, hand tools, and
electronic equipment
3. Professional, business, research or administrative offices, when a part of a permitted
industrial use
4. Printing, engraving, lithographing, and publishing
5. Wholesale businesses and sales, warehouses, mini and other storage buildings, and
distribution facilities, except those storing or distributing flammable or explosive
materials
6. Automobile service stations, including auto repair, and towing services
7. Machine shop, welding shop, furniture, cabinet and wood working shops, glass
blowing shop
commercial uses shall also be permitted.

11. Commercial uses which provide support services to the light industrial uses and to
the adjacent RM-3 residents including photocopying, coffee shop, standard
restaurant, video rental, bank,

Timeline: Short-term
ACTION ITEM 4: Enhance pedestrian amenities within the entire Sunset Harbor
neighborhood in order to increase connectivity between the I-1, CD-2, and RM-3.
Examples of potential pedestrian amenities to be studied and developed in coordination with
other City Departments:
Crosswalk/Street Crossing Paving
Sidewalk Paving
Sidewalk Cafe as an accessory to a Main Use Restaurant
Planters
Bicycle Racks
Street Trees
Waste Receptacles

• ACTION ITEM 5: Better enforcement of current parking regulations
Planning Department staff is in the process of contacting the necessary enforcement
agencies in order to get this issue resolved as soon as possible.
Coordinating Entitv: Parking Department, Enforcement Division
Timeline: Immediate (3 to 6 months)
• ACTION ITEM 6: Perform a traffic study to identify traffic flow needs and the potential
benefits of a West Avenue extension across the Collins Canal
Note: Action Item 6 requires additional analysis and will be considered along-term
item due to certain mandated City procedures, such as the hiring of a Traffic
Consultant to produce a detailed traffic study in addition to funding issues and land
acquisition.

Timeline: Long-term
• ACTION ITEM 7: Require parking to be provided instead of permitting payment of a fee in
lieu for all use intensificationstyhich require additional parking within the I-1 district.
Note: Residents expressed concern regarding the payment ofa Parking Impact Fee in
lieu of providing required parking. It should be noted that under current code, any
new construction must provide all required parking, the Parking Impact Fee program
is available ONLY to existing buildings intensify their uses with respect to the parking
requirements
Currently, any re-development proposal which intensifies use is given a "parking credit" for
the previous use. If that "credit" is insufficient to cover the parking requirements for the new,
more intense use, then a fee may be paid for the additional spots needed to meet the
requirements. Additional study needs to be undertaken by the Planning Department to
investigate the option of eliminating the Parking Impact Fee program in a new Overlay
zoning of the I-1.
Coordinating Entity: Planning Department
Timeline: To be discussed in conjunction with scheduled Planning Board discussion item
regarding Parking
• ACTION ITEM 8: Explore new zoning classification within the CD-2 and possiblyvacant lots
within the RM-3 for Live/Work uses. Develop regulations for Live/work types, such as lofts,
through new parking requirements, setbacks, etc.
The Live/Work land-use option can be split into iwo forms: (1) home occupations and (2)
live/work units. The current City of Miami Beach 'Home Office' ordinance is intended to
allow modest, low-impact business or commercial uses within a residence in a residential
zone. Such uses are subject to significant limitations on the permitted extent of activities,
including the prohibiting of employees, client visits, and storage of goods, among others to
insure that such uses do not upset the residential character. In contrast, alive/work
ordinance may allow incidental residential uses within commercial and/or office zones.
Staff believes that live/work developments could be compatible and complementary to the
existing CD-2 district which surrounds the I-1 district. However, the live/work units maybe
incompatible with the industrial character of the I-1 district, which staff believes should be
maintained.
Note: The Live/Work use category requires further exploration by Staff. Issues such
as parking requirements, uses, and physical design will be analyzed together with
development incentives. Staff analysis will be focused on the following concepts:
Definition:
"Live/work unit" may mean a structure or portion of a structure:
(a) That combines a commercial activity allowed in the zone with a
residential living space for the owner of the commercial business, or the
Sunset Harbor Neighborhood -Action Items
Page 5
owner's employee, and that person's household;
(b) Where the resident owner or employee of the business is responsible for
the commercial activity performed; and
(c) Where the commercial activity conducted takes place subject to a valid
business license associated with the premises.
Purpose
(a) Provide for the appropriate development of units that incorporate both
living and working space;
(b) Provide flexibility for the development of live/work units.
Where LiveNVork Units Mav Be Permitted
(1) Live/work units maybe permitted in the CD-2 district adjacent to the I-1 district
(2) Commercial Uses permitted could be the same as the permitted uses within the CD-
2 district. Uses which are incompatible with "Live/Work" should be further studied
and detailed within the development regulations. Examples of "Incompatible" uses
may include:
Adult Entertainment Uses as defined by CMB Code, Sec. 142-1271, entertainment
establishments as defined by CMB Code Sec. 142-1361, funeral homes, game
arcades, gun clubs, shooting galleries and pawn shops.
(3) Where permitted, live/work units located at street level are subject to the
development standards for ground floor retail or commercial establishments as
follows:
a. There shall be a minimum percentage of a structure's street front facade at
street level shall be occupied by nonresidential uses.
b. Live/work units that exceed a certain square footage (to be determined) must
have a least two exits.
c. Within each live/work unit, the living area shall not exceed a percentage to be
determined of the total floor area of the unit.
Business License Requirement
Staff will explore whether or not to require at least one resident in each live/work unit to
maintain a valid business license for a business on the premises. Issues with regards to
commercial uses going out of business will be explored.
Parking
Staff will analyze the creation less stringent parking standards for Live/Work use buildings in
order to reflect the fact that a person occupying a relatively small live/work unit may have
less use for a car given that he or she works on premises. Larger units may have additional
residents as well as employees, and thus more parking may be necessary.
Setbacks
Sunset Harbor Neighborhood -Action Items
Page 6
Staff will analyze the creation of less stringent setbacks for Live/Work buildings in order to
provide an incentive to develop live/work projects. This issue requires additional study of
current regulations within the CD-2 district in order to determine the proper development
regulations to create successful projects.
Coordinating Entitv: Planning Department
Timeline: Mid-term to Long-term
ACTION ITEM 9: Increase the enforcement of current permitted uses and the hours of
operation.
Note: Residents are concerned that the ramp is being used after the posted closing
time. This is an enforcement matter which Planning Department staff could bring to
the appropriate enforcement agency.
Planning Department staff is in the process of contacting the necessary enforcement
agencies in order to get this issue resolved as soon as possible.
