[6:43] Going forward understood. Okay, and how far off just so the board knows how long do you think it'll take for you guys to wrap up?

[39:53] Thank you.
[39:53] Good evening, Amber Forte with the City of Miami Planning Department here to present a future
[39:58] land use map amendment and a reason up.
[40:00] Education, PZ2620890, MPZ2620891. For the properties located at 644 South-Westworth Avenue, which
[40:12] are linked to all the properties listed.
[40:17] So I do want to talk about the what Ryan passed out to you, which is a substitution. We did
[40:25] post with the agenda proposed or a memo stating that we would update all of the documents
[40:30] at this meeting. And so what you have is updated exhibits and legislation. And that is all
[40:39] based on a community meeting that was held on August 25th. We had an outreach meeting at
[40:47] Jose M.R.T. Park about 75 people were in attendance for that meeting. Our main takeaways from
[40:53] that meeting during a comment in question period was that we were encroaching too close to the
[41:01] single family areas to the south of Kyojo and on 9th Street. So we have significantly and what
[41:11] you'll see in your maps that were given handed out as well as in the maps that Amber will present
[41:16] that we have significantly reduced the rezoning in that area. In fact, we've almost removed all
[41:22] properties, there are so a few that are remain, but that is where we're able, the only portion
[41:27] that remains is where we're able to complete the transects, so you'll see a T6 T5 T4 T3,
[41:32] and you'll see that complete transect now. The other takeaway that we had is that we really
[41:37] need it to explore and overlay or some type of overlay district. We have engaged to consultant
[41:44] to begin preparing a neighborhood revitalization district, which is an overlay tool that does things
[41:51] like Incorporate Public Benefits, and as part of that,
[41:55] we'll also have design guidelines as well for the area.
[41:59] So those things are getting incorporated.
[42:02] And then the commissioner has continued
[42:04] to do some public outreach after this meeting
[42:07] and has expressed support for conservation districts
[42:10] in the single family neighborhoods to the south,
[42:13] such as Shannon, Dua, and the roads.
[42:15] And of course the planning department
[42:16] is happy to support those efforts as well.
[42:19] The other thing that we did here is about the pace of the project and as well as doing continued outreach as I said, the commissioner has already continued doing outreach, I believe he met with the roads, neighborhood association, and outreach will continue.
[42:35] So this is an lengthy process that will occur over the next several months and this is just one piece.
[42:43] As we begin to put together the pieces of the neighborhood revitalization districts, design guidelines and any other overlay tools that will that will come out of those efforts.
[42:54] There will be continued out reach.
[42:57] We also can we also hope to do outreach before this goes to city commission in October and then again in November as well.
[43:05] So, sorry, it goes to, we go to second reading in December, there is a lengthy state review process to this because of the amount, the amount of acreage that we're changing to the future land use plan.
[43:21] And so we need approximately at, well, we really need at least 60 days to have that to have that reviewed by the state.
[43:29] They only get 30, but by the time we submit to them, they review, they submit back to us if they ask any questions or anything like that.
[43:37] It can easily be 60 days or even further.
[43:41] And so, kind of that's why we would like to continue moving this forward, but there will be continued outreach as we build the neighborhood revitalization district.
[43:51] And as all of the items kind of come together at the end and culminate at city commission.
[43:56] So, I'm going to let Amber take it away, I'm sorry, and explain the substitutions in the, in the, in the, in the, in the applications, yes.
[44:05] Okay.
[44:07] Um, you know, before that, really quick, um, to a point you made, the NCD, the idea of their being NCDs with those be addressed prior to, I mean, is that going to be an all discussed and brought out prior to commission.
[44:23] In other words, we're rushing to this.
[44:26] This is just a period and we're doing this.
[44:29] But now we're hearing, oh, well, you know, the commissioner is open to NCDs and things like that,
[44:34] which I think are going to be really significantly important to the people that are here today.
[44:40] So, you know, I think, speeding this through without having it, you know, and it just being a promise
[44:49] to discuss, I'd be sure everyone would want to know what, how you see it kind of playing
[44:56] out, because you just kind of set that up in a...
[44:59] before...
[45:00] Or we have everyone start coming up and talking about it, because if anyone else heard, you say that, they
[45:04] may want to know.
[45:05] Sure.
[45:07] So, I mean, Shannon, Shannon Doha and the roads, it's my understanding, have expressed neighborhood
[45:13] conserv, wanting to have some type of neighborhood conservation district for years.
[45:18] And so, there, once the community comes together and support of that, we're happy to help
[45:24] move that process forward.
[45:27] But until we have a true community support for that, that's beyond just expressed interest.
[45:35] It's hard, I can't move a conservation district forward.
[45:38] So we're really, while we are supportive and we're happy to come out and make presentations
[45:44] and to help guide the process.
[45:46] I really need the community to come together in that conservation district effort.
[45:51] Conservation districts, as well as historic districts,
[45:54] really, really only are successful if they are driven by the community and the property owners.
[46:01] Sure.
[46:02] Thanks for that.
[46:03] And one other housekeeping.
[46:05] There are a lot of properties on here and I just want to make sure that nobody on the board
[46:09] has any disclosures to make about any ownership stake in anything being discussed today.
[46:17] Any of these addresses belong to any projects anybody's working on?
[46:29] Mr. Porsoff.
[46:38] So first, go into the flume, requesting multiple changes that's usually used map designation for those properties generally located as 644 Southwest 4th Avenue, as well as the reason requesting multiple changes that Miami 21 codes Atlas for 466 properties generally located at 644 Southwest 4th Avenue, and what was that number, how many properties are being changed?
[47:06] 466 in the reason and 301 in the flu
[47:18] and those do reflect the updated substituted numbers, not the original proposal.
[47:26] So first of all go into the proposed usually use changes for this new project, the little event of transit corridor.
[47:32] The applicant is the city being represented on behalf of the city manager and that flume consists of five separate corridor areas, our subject areas.
[47:41] within those subject areas are approximately 67 acres and 300 in one properties.
[47:49] Here is a future lane use map over a view of our existing in our proposed future lane use map.
[47:56] Within the five little Havana trains a quarter of areas up for few rural redesignation to restrict the commercial.
[48:03] 24 of those parcels are existing as low density restricted commercial 154 as medium density multi-family residential and another 123 as medium density
[48:13] restricted commercial or total of 301 properties.
[48:22] So by changing the food as a nation's two restricted commercial density increases up to
[48:27] 150 dwelling units per acre, non-residential affelor goes up to 11 and a variety of uses
[48:33] become allowed.
[48:38] So when we were analyzing this few, this little amendment, there were some key considerations
[48:42] in conditions that staff made of those subject properties and areas.
[48:46] One of them being the wide range of food designations,
[48:53] within the subject area, the wide range of parks to be in medium density, housing to commercial and institutional uses.
[49:01] We wanted to keep that in mind when making changes to the food.
[49:08] We also looked at the coastal conditions.
[49:10] Some of the properties primarily along Southwest, South River Drive are located within the coastal high hazard area and may be exposed to swarm surges.
[49:24] Additionally, we looked at transit access. That was another very important consideration as the study areas include south-west 7th and south-west 8th Street.
[49:33] They are major transit corridors where F. Conducted a study for plan improvements to improve access, safety development, and in informed land use decisions.
[49:44] Lastly, we looked at community resources, more specifically, the 10 schools and 11 parks within the subject area.
[49:51] Overall, the subject properties are within a mixed use neighborhood, transit, a mixed use transit
[49:56] accessible neighborhood in your schools, parks, and parks that are.
[50:00] Incorporate flood mitigation and resilience to the localized effects of climate change.
[50:11] So here we have the concurrency
[50:13] management for the area of the proposed snowman amendment was tested across five areas of concurrency and we found that there
[50:19] were adequate levels of service were meant for all five. The previous levels of service standards were based on a potential population
[50:26] increase of 19,253 residents in the subject areas that we thought were going to result in a new
[50:33] maximum population of 36,215. So that was the previous one. This one here is representative
[50:40] of the areas being taken out specifically in that area of five. The levels of service standards
[50:47] are now based on that 16,28 population increase in the new maximum of 27,646.
[51:02] So we also
[51:03] I also want to go to the Comprehensive Plan Analysis.
[51:05] We did find that the proposed movement complies with the following Miami neighborhood comprehensive
[51:12] plans policy by meeting all five levels of service standards providing for more safe and affordable
[51:17] homes, improving the existing housing and strengthening the neighborhoods for current and future
[51:23] residents and provides reliable transportation options while easing car dependence.
[51:33] Now, going to the reason, the reason area is a little bit larger than the flume at 146,466,466 parcels
[51:45] across 10 corridor areas.
[51:48] And because that reason isn't consistent with the future lane use designation as our
[51:52] presented, we are concurrently submitted the flume amendment.
[52:01] So, picture here are the original reason areas.
[52:03] We originally had a large proposed reason area with 11 corridors.
[52:06] However, after community outreach and input, we shrunk that area significantly more particularly the proposed T5 just south of south was eight street, which we'll see pictured on the next slide
[52:23] So area five as you can see circle as you can see in the red box went from
[52:30] 699,948 square feet to 262,888 square feet. So a significant decrease in the size of that area
[52:43] And just for a little bit of more context,
[52:47] we have here listed all of the areas that are being proposed.
[52:53] Collectively they show the existing zoning and the proposed zoning,
[52:57] as well as existing bloom and proposed bloom,
[52:59] and how much of that square footage is actually in each area.
[53:06] So in addition to that decrease of area five,
[53:10] there is also an area five B that been removed,
[53:12] which is about 7,000 square feet.
[53:19] Here are some photos from our site visit.
[53:22] Staff conducted a site visit on August 6, 2006,
[53:26] 2026, excuse me, where we went to every corridor area
[53:31] and to photos, walk the area to get a feel
[53:34] for the character, the nature, and the conditions
[53:36] of the neighborhood.
[53:44] So here we have the use table, which details
[53:46] the uses unlocked as the proposed trans-exones
[53:49] at the proposed transexones for the reason.
[53:53] At the T5 and T6, we see an increase in allowable dwelling units per acre,
[53:58] and uses like hotels, office space, recreational uses, and educational uses,
[54:03] unlocked, and or allow the immor and administrative approval.
[54:08] In addition to the unlocking of the densities, public benefits,
[54:14] There's also been what will allow for higher densities and stories within the T5 and T6.
[54:25] So those public benefits benefit the community via cash contributions, which can be used for capital improvements within the neighborhood,
[54:31] or allowed an exchange for public parks and open space, affordable or workforce housing and or green buildings certification.
[54:43] Some key considerations for the reason is that ultimately little Havana in the city as a whole is involving.
[54:53] We wanted to provide sensitive alternatives to pressures that we are seeing from live local at projects which tend to.
[55:00] To be denser than what is being proposed.
[55:04] On this map here, the blue dots show the existing
[55:07] live local permits within the horde or areas, and the pink dots show the new live local permits.
[55:15] So we see some of them clustered along southwest, southwest, south river drive to the north,
[55:21] and we are seeing them also along 8th Avenue. It's street, pardon me. Additionally, we are looking
[55:29] to maintain the neighborhood's character through my amuse 21st
[55:32] Divarb.
[55:33] Does I review criteria and reinforce the transit
[55:35] that the guys got in principle and easing the transitions
[55:39] of density and height between less and since uses and densities?
[55:44] In addition to that, we also want to secure the financial future
[55:47] of the neighborhood via the public.
[55:48] The benefits system, rather the public benefit program payments,
[55:52] rather than state tax breaks and incentives.
[55:59] So next, I'll go on to the criteria.
[56:01] The first criteria, the proposed change,
[56:02] for the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan, the Miami-Tone
[56:07] Code, and other city regulations.
[56:10] The reason is inconsistent with the existing future land use, so we did do that campaign
[56:15] and flu amendment to ensure that the future land use is compatible with the proposed
[56:19] rezoning classifications.
[56:22] The reason does encourage development of a balance mix of uses for areas for employment,
[56:30] shopping, entertainment, housing, and recreation near each other.
[56:34] And then, approximate access to the transit corridor encourages compact, pedestrian, oriented,
[56:40] and makes use development within the neighborhood.
[56:42] So we found that that complied.
[56:46] Prior to the need and justification for the proposed change, including change or changing
[56:50] conditions, that make the passage of the proposed change necessary.
[56:54] So we are seeing a history of changing conditions within this neighborhood and area in
[56:59] 28, 27, five properties located along South West, South West, 7th Avenue, and South West 7th
[57:06] streets were resumed from T5O to T6AO, and in 2016, two out of those properties were
[57:14] resumed from T5O to T5O to allow for an expansion of an existing auto-related commercial
[57:21] establishment. There have also been successful increases in zoning within the past decade,
[57:27] upzoning from T5 to T6 primarily north of South West Ath Street, and more recently in
[57:34] 2025 the City Commission adopted ordinance 1441,
[57:38] resulting in the nearby property located at 601 South West 9th Street, and A40,
[57:44] South West 6 Avenue from T5L to T6O. These change in conditions highlight the evolving
[57:51] conditions of the diverse urban corridor and the significant efforts made to increase
[57:55] the density of new developments in the insinitity within the surrounding areas by unlocking
[58:01] allowable uses via that rezon process.
[58:07] And then the final criteria of a successful
[58:09] transex change in manner which maintains the goal to preserve neighborhoods and to provide
[58:13] transition and intensity of building height. So we are looking to change this successfully
[58:20] increasing, so increasing this successfully, maintains the easing of density and intensity
[58:25] of uses adjacent to the T3 urban, transexons and the T4 urban, transexons of the surrounding areas.
[58:34] Also, the little Havana neighborhood, though largely low density, is seeing more dense
[58:38] info properties and live local projects being developed within the low and medium multi-family
[58:43] residential areas.
[58:45] So that increased, the increased development capacity through the reason, will enable the
[58:50] national registries to start, will enable national registry historically, doesn't need
[58:54] properties to take advantage of selling those rights to further promote the preservation of those properties through transferring development rights to other presidential projects.
[59:08] So we found that also complies.
[59:13] To end the flu we recommend the flu as substituted pursuant to ordinance number one zero five four four.
[59:21] The future land use map of the Miami comprehensive neighborhood plan as a limit and the findings the planning department recommends approval for the requested changes.
[59:28] to the Future Lane Youth Map designation
[59:30] from low density restricted commercial,
[59:33] medium density, multi-family residential,
[59:35] and medium density restricted to commercial,
[59:37] restricted commercial, to restricted commercial.
[59:42] Thank you.
[59:44] Sorry, I have one more.
[59:46] And then the recommendation for the reason
[59:48] as substituted pursuance amendments
[59:49] when you want article 7, section 7,
[59:52] point 1, point 2, point 8 of ordinance,
[59:54] one, three, three, one, one,
[59:56] four as amendment, as amended,
[59:58] and the findings of Plain Department Records.
[1:00:00] The approval of the requested change of zoning from T4L, General Urban Transexone Limited, to T5L, Urban Center Transexone Limited, from T4R, General Urban Transexone Restricted, T4L, General Urban Transexone Limited, and T4L General Urban Transexone Open, to T5O, Urban Transexone Open, and from T5L, Urban Transexone Limited, and T5O, Urban Transexone Limited, open, excuse me, to T680 Urban Court.
[1:00:30] of transits on open.
[1:00:32] That concludes my presentation.
[1:00:35] Thank you.
[1:00:35] Thank you.
[1:00:36] What were many questions?
[1:00:37] Thank you.
[1:00:41] So is anybody here not spoken at a meeting before?
[1:00:48] So we'll line up on either, is anybody else doing anything?
[1:00:53] You guys are good, right?
[1:00:54] So you can use either side if to state your name and your address for the transcript.
[1:01:01] and then you have two minutes, and please just, you know, somebody makes a great point or something you disagree with.
[1:01:11] Best, you just keep it to yourself and if you want to address it, you could use your two minutes to address something somebody else said.
[1:01:17] If you love what someone says and you start clapping, it takes forever to get through everybody that wants to speak.
[1:01:23] So we're going to start now.
[1:01:25] Thanks.
[1:01:30] Hello, good evening, Denise Calvasturos.
[1:01:34] I am a live at 2130 Southwest 20th Street.
[1:01:37] I own a business in Little Havana.
[1:01:40] I run the Nekuturalist Cultural Fridays and Little Havana Main Street.
[1:01:44] We're currently working to designate that A Street corridor from 12 to 17 to Avenue.
[1:01:49] I'm asking you tonight to please defer this item.
[1:01:52] The applicant is the city of Miami.
[1:01:55] The latest amendment to the map was provided yesterday afternoon, not even the commissioner had seen it.
[1:02:00] There is no reason why we should move forward.
[1:02:03] Gerson brought up great points.
[1:02:05] They keep mentioning NCDs and NCRs, all these things that people have not seen and haven't
[1:02:09] even been discussed further.
[1:02:11] I think that should come before.
[1:02:13] We move forward on such far-reaching legislation that affects so many properties.
[1:02:17] I happen to live south of Nines Street, so oh great, they removed my home, but guess what?
[1:02:21] I walked that neighborhood and my office is on A Street that a lot of those businesses live
[1:02:26] off of tourism.
[1:02:27] This will affect the tourism. Nobody comes to Little Havana to look at big concrete buildings built
[1:02:31] out to the sidewalk. How is this going to affect traffic? How is this going to affect the quality
[1:02:35] of life for all the people who do live north of Little Havana? The congestion is already horrible.
[1:02:40] The streets are in horrible conditions. The sidewalks and horrible conditions. There's so much
[1:02:44] that needs to come. This is called putting the cart before the horse. Bottom line, please defer.
[1:02:49] Ask the city manager who lives in Proud to defer. He's probably, he's never come to Little
[1:02:54] of Anna walking toward we give it free with Dr. Porridge, Dr. Paul George. I invite him to come
[1:02:58] before he proposes this kind of legislation that affects not only 440 homes, but it will
[1:03:04] affect the roads. It will affect the historic Riverside District and it's definitely going
[1:03:08] to affect Shenendol and the historic neighborhood behind. Thank you. Thank you very much.
[1:03:13] Thank you. Thank you.
[1:03:16] Thank you. Thank you. Mauricio Villesuso.
[1:03:19] My address nine nine nine southwest first avenue. I'm a property owner investor and real estate
[1:03:25] consultant for all of the owners in Little Havana.
[1:03:28] In fact, many of whom are one of my first ones
[1:03:31] going to be, they could not attend the August 25th
[1:03:33] because they didn't receive proper notice.
[1:03:36] If I can get a show of hands of all my property owners
[1:03:38] who came here tonight.
[1:03:40] And thank you so much.
[1:03:41] These are actual property owners who could not attend the August 25th,
[1:03:46] they either received it that same day.
[1:03:48] And they did not receive notice.
[1:03:50] And raise a hand again if this directly impact your property
[1:03:54] and you support it?
[1:03:57] Thank you, my orders.
[1:03:59] So anyways, a lot of the owners did a receive notice
[1:04:03] couldn't come, but the other common I want to make
[1:04:07] is 11 years ago, we had this opportunity.
[1:04:10] Francisco Garcia, then zoning director,
[1:04:13] tried to propose a large massive plan
[1:04:16] to similarly do this.
[1:04:18] Back then, we heard a lot of comments and pushback.
[1:04:21] And what we ended up getting from that commentary
[1:04:23] was two blocks designated historic, it was supposed to go in parallel with the
[1:04:27] up zoning that didn't happen. And back then, there was a 2015 economic
[1:04:32] development report that the city of Miami, the Department of Zoning,
[1:04:35] the University of Miami, all did together and they saw the rental issues,
[1:04:40] the rent, rising, the housing crisis, over 30% of the property
[1:04:45] stopped from the 1920s and how we were losing them and to address that they
[1:04:53] There's only 5% and here we are and I commend the zoning department and planning department folks for
[1:05:00] We're taking a bold step, and they're taking a lead on this to suggest that we redevelop it. Little Havana, it's its turn. We've seen all this luxury
[1:05:11] iron rise in every world, but little Havana, there's multi-generational owners, people who've wanted to see this deregulation of
[1:05:19] of the zoning rules, so they could actually make the property rights.
[1:05:23] So I please encourage you to move forward.
[1:05:26] Thank you.
[1:05:27] Thank you.
[1:05:28] Elvis Cruz, 631 Northeast, 57 Street.
[1:05:32] Maximum density potential board members, you may recall that I recently
[1:05:36] handed you a document titled Maximum density potential.
[1:05:40] Here's the document.
[1:05:42] This was a study by the city of Miami Planning Department in 2016 to determine
[1:05:46] how many housing units could be built in the city under the existing zoning.
[1:05:52] That study showed that the city was zoned to allow eight times more housing units than
[1:05:58] we had in 2010 and therefore eight times the population.
[1:06:04] That staggering number is before any additional upzoning like special area plans, RTZ, TSMD,
[1:06:12] and many more, including this one.
[1:06:15] Miami is already hugely over-zoned.
[1:06:19] It is an inconvenience truth that the city does not want to admit.
[1:06:24] Miami should not be up zoning. It should be down zoning.
[1:06:28] If you think traffic is bad now,
[1:06:30] just wait until we have twice the population,
[1:06:33] or three times, or four times, or double that, to eight times.
[1:06:39] But that's just traffic. What about
[1:06:40] water supply, sewage treatment capacity, garbage disposal capacity, or hurricane
[1:06:45] evacuation time. This is also, this is a huge violation of Miami-21's
[1:06:50] Successional Transition Principle. So here's what's on the proposed map today.
[1:06:55] Here's the before. You have T50, next to T4L, which we were told is supposed to
[1:07:01] be the way it's done. After you're going to get T6, next to T4, that's a violation
[1:07:08] of your principles on the south side, before we have T4, next to T3, after T5, next to T3O,
[1:07:19] and that's a commercial T5.
[1:07:22] How much is enough?
[1:07:24] How much is too much?
[1:07:26] Is the unspoken goal to cram as many housing units into Miami as possible?
[1:07:31] I am the more concerned with preserving our long-term quality of life than enabling the
[1:07:38] developer profits.
[1:07:40] Please vote no on this horrible proposal.
[1:07:44] Thank you.
[1:07:50] Thank you.
[1:07:50] Good evening.
[1:07:51] Thomas Rodriguez.
[1:07:52] 1652 Southwest 9th Street.
[1:07:54] I lived directly across from the affected areas by this proposal.
[1:07:57] At least until he just changed the boundaries in the last seven days.
[1:08:01] I timed the readings of these last two agenda items just because I kept going on and
[1:08:04] on.
[1:08:05] is about 25 minutes, just to read these.
[1:08:07] I just think that speaks really to just how wide spread
[1:08:09] this is as a blanket I attempted to absorb the city.
[1:08:13] And it's just kind of a little too much all the way too quickly.
[1:08:17] That's the same thing.
[1:08:17] That's why so many people are here speaking about this.
[1:08:19] We're looking at one of the largest zoning changes
[1:08:20] in Miami 2021.
[1:08:23] It's unprecedented really.
[1:08:24] More than 136 acres, more than 661 parcels.
[1:08:28] At least that's number that was presented to us last Tuesday.
[1:08:31] I just heard 707 tonight.
[1:08:33] Again, this is like just rapidly shifting.
[1:08:34] There's way too much for anybody to be able to process all at one go.
[1:08:38] The fact that you guys had a ask, if any of your members had conflicted properties here,
[1:08:42] speaks to just the widespread impact here.
[1:08:45] We were just informed about this about nine days ago.
[1:08:48] We received a flyer in the mail on Monday for a meeting last Tuesday,
[1:08:52] and then we're here eight days later speaking about it at PCAB.
[1:08:56] So really, again, just inadequate notice, it's a one or that 75 people showed up on Tuesday night,
[1:09:00] because that's just speaks to how rapidly this all came together.
[1:09:05] The takeaway is not that density is bad.
[1:09:07] It's that residents deserve clear information.
[1:09:10] They need for our reach and real opportunity to understand the impacts.
[1:09:13] I have to ask that you please defer these items.
[1:09:14] Thank you.
[1:09:15] Thank you.
[1:09:18] Good evening.
[1:09:19] My name is Martha Moshav, and I live at 1026 Southwest in 19th Avenue.
[1:09:24] I am the co-founder of the Historic Shinnendoa Group, a group which was formed 11 years ago,
[1:09:31] and is made up of residents in the part of Shinnendoa.
[1:09:34] with the Census Concentration of Historic Properties, and whose borders are nine streets of
[1:09:42] the north, 13th streets of the south, 14th Avenue to the east and 22nd Avenue to the west.
[1:09:48] I'm here on behalf of many of the residents in our group to respectfully request that your
[1:09:54] consideration of this proposal will be deferred for two main reasons. Number one, the amount of
[1:09:59] Thank you very much.
[1:10:00] Is extremely large, and our community has not had the opportunity, we've not been given ample time to consider the potential impacts of a rezoning of this magnitude.
[1:10:13] We will leave its premature to move forward, to move this forward as proposed given that the significant impact to not just the current residents, but to future generations.
[1:10:24] we gained access to the updated maps only 48 hours ago, that's the maps that were updated
[1:10:31] from the maps that were provided last week.
[1:10:35] And the second reason is that when we were comparing the PDFs, the maps that were provided
[1:10:43] to us against the, the ones that's eliminated the current zoning, and when we compared these
[1:10:50] to the maps online on the city of Miami website, which is map.grid.is.com.
[1:11:01] Some of the ways that the maps were deleted, it's a they did not match as drafted
[1:11:07] by the planning and zoning departments. So there was at least one discrepancy there,
[1:11:13] and it will take us more time to understand some of not the not only the changes being proposed
[1:11:18] that's not understand, which what is the current zoning actually because there are discrepancies
[1:11:25] between the online maps and the maps that were provided. And lastly, I'll say that the
[1:11:29] residence pardon me. Oh, sorry. The residents of Historician and Doha have engaged both
[1:11:36] date heritage trust and the villagers to pursue not a neighborhood conservation district,
[1:11:41] but rather a historic designation. Back in 2015, we had this effort with a greater
[1:11:47] and do a neighborhood, which is a much larger area from 12th Avenue all the way to 27th Avenue
[1:11:52] and then from 8th Street to 24th Avenue, our group, which is a much smaller area, is now ready to move forward
[1:11:59] with pursuing this designation. So we ask that we please give us more time to consider this
[1:12:04] and that you take time yourself to consider it. Thank you so much. Thanks. Thank you for your time.
[1:12:09] Thank you, Albert Komas, 1119 Southwest 6th Street, 242 Southwest 4th Street, 1128 Southwest 6th Street,
[1:12:18] 530 Southwest 11th Avenue, O'er and Vester, just like some clarity.
[1:12:24] What's going on with the parking situation?
[1:12:28] And then two, if your property of butts, one of the properties on 7th Street,
[1:12:34] Is there going to be any adjustments in the future for those properties that a but T5 properties just some clarity on that please?
[1:12:43] Thank you
[1:12:44] We'll address that and let there will ever discuss later
[1:12:49] Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My name is Frank Halpern. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida
[1:12:54] And I went to the University of Florida now. I'm an attorney here in Miami, Florida
[1:12:58] I'm a property owner in East Little Havana, specifically at 236, Southwest, 4th Avenue, that's directly across the street from Jose Marchi Park.
[1:13:09] Right now I can only build a four-plex with no commercial units.
[1:13:14] It's two blocks away from 60 and 70 story buildings that are going up.
[1:13:20] Start contrast.
[1:13:22] If there's anywhere in Little Havana that needs increased density and height that makes sense,
[1:13:27] It's here. It's next to Jose Marti Park. We are immediately adjacent to downtown and
[1:13:35] Brickle directly on the Miami River. The planning board has suggested 200 units per
[1:13:41] acre in the La Vanna and 400 next to the Miami River. Right now, on my lot, I can only
[1:13:48] build four units and no commercial property. I, an attorney, am getting priced out of Miami.
[1:13:55] I am an attorney, I am getting priced out of office space.
[1:14:00] I am running out of options.
[1:14:03] I believe the city is also running out of options as well.
[1:14:07] The demand to live near Brickle and downtown in the Miami River
[1:14:10] does not disappear.
[1:14:13] I've heard this being a giveaway to developers
[1:14:15] because property owners may benefit from additional development rights.
[1:14:20] But I think we need to ask the opposite question.
[1:14:22] who benefits when we don't allow more to be built.
[1:14:28] Right now, all of that increased demand gets funneled into one place
[1:14:32] and that's East of I-95.
[1:14:35] I have to go work in that courthouse, East of I-95,
[1:14:38] and I want more options for my own property
[1:14:41] because we are running out of options.
[1:14:44] My property is also directly next to the river.
[1:14:46] The river is bound to crest over that park, and if I have a one story building on 4th Avenue, I'm good.
[1:15:00] And there's only one option. I'm going to need to build up, because when the storm surge comes, and I'm not saying it's always coming, but one day it will. I'm going to need something, and that's going to be more heightened more density. I urge this committee to approve what is a narrow and well tailored up zoning that the planning board has sought to remove portions of to make even more well tailored.
[1:15:28] I applaud their efforts.
[1:15:31] This is 12 years to late.
[1:15:33] I'm now a 40 year old man, and I am running out of options.
[1:15:37] Thank you.
[1:15:38] Thank you.
[1:15:41] Carlos Volto, Miranda, 1761, West Flagview Street.
[1:15:44] Very simple concept for you guys today.
[1:15:48] I have been a resident, a property owner, a builder, a developer, a business owner, a
[1:15:56] given little vana for over 20 years. For the last 15 years, little
[1:16:04] vana has stagnated under the Carroyo Corruption.
[1:16:10] And I come you today with an
[1:16:12] incredible amount of enthusiasm for the future because finally, finally, finally,
[1:16:20] finally, we have someone bold enough in the city, in the administration, to stand up
[1:16:27] with this label that we saw truly deeply care for and say, we will push, we will create momentum,
[1:16:35] we will push in a direction to generate true change in this community.
[1:16:41] Ladies and gentlemen, you guys have a choice today.
[1:16:44] You can either stop that budding momentum, stop those first steps toward progress or you can
[1:16:53] encouraging. This clearly is a multi-phase process. This today is not the end of the process.
[1:17:00] There are zoning changes, there's zoning overlay, there's parking changes, there's all these sorts
[1:17:05] of those architectural solar requirements, multiple phases to it. But it all begins with whether you
[1:17:14] guys decide today to encourage building momentum towards a better community in Miami,
[1:17:21] in Doravano or whether you decide to squash that progress and squash a city and a commissioner
[1:17:32] finally trying to do something to undo the last 15 years of stagnation.
[1:17:37] Thank you.
[1:17:41] Thank you.
[1:17:42] Thank you.
[1:17:42] Thank you.
[1:17:42] Thank you.
[1:17:42] My name is Roberto Pesantas.
[1:17:44] My family trust zones for one south-west forestry.
[1:17:47] I'd like to nominate my time to build a Corbin.
[1:17:52] Good evening, Billy Corbin for a three double of four money beach 3-3-1-3-9.
[1:17:57] I think we all know at this point might not accept it, but we realize that most of us,
[1:18:02] if not all of us in this room, are going to live to see a time when no Haitians live in Little Haiti,
[1:18:08] when no Dominicans live in Little Santa Domingo, of Alapada, when no
[1:18:13] aliens live in the Little Bahamas of the West Grove, and when no Cubans live in Little Havana.
[1:18:20] I think that it's important to establish that not all landowners and not all developers are bad,
[1:18:26] or evil, or want to destroy any of the neighborhood.
[1:18:28] Some of them are just small business owners who are looking to maximize the value from their private property
[1:18:33] and they should have that opportunity and that should be done in a reasonable and planned way.
[1:18:39] I'm not certain that this is a reasonable or fully planned, but I realize that the train has the bright line has left the station.
[1:18:47] And we either get on board or we're going to get run over by it.
[1:18:50] And it's the bright line.
[1:18:51] So we're probably going to get run over by it.
[1:18:55] But they had a very set number of dates.
[1:18:57] You'll recall at that meeting for those of you.
[1:18:59] They were there last week.
[1:19:00] They know everything they need to hit, every day thing you need to hit.
[1:19:03] And this is going to happen.
[1:19:04] So I would just ask this board to seriously
[1:19:06] consider some of the things that you saw in their presentation.
[1:19:10] Level of service standards.
[1:19:11] The city cannot keep up with a level of service in any,
[1:19:15] I don't know, by show of hands.
[1:19:16] if you live in the city or your business owner in the city, are you satisfied with a level
[1:19:20] of service you're receiving from a city with a $3 billion dollar a year budget?
[1:19:23] I mean, honestly, so can they really maintain the level of services when they're talking
[1:19:27] about adding 20,000 new residents in this neighborhood over a series of decades after this
[1:19:33] plan?
[1:19:33] Also, how many times are we going to hear the public benefit song before we realize that they're
[1:19:39] lying to us, that there is no public benefit, that there is no way that we can develop our
[1:19:44] out of an affordability crisis that they're going to add to workforce and affordable housing
[1:19:48] that they're going to add parks that they're going to add or improve our infrastructure,
[1:19:54] which is failing.
[1:19:55] Also, I've been doing up to these meetings to know we should start a segment called Savannah
[1:19:59] says, Florida.
[1:20:00] And so many things. And Savannah said tonight that in order to have a neighborhood conservation district, we need grassroots support. We need community consensus. What about the upzone?
[1:20:11] Like, so an NCD requires everybody to get together in the neighborhoods and come hat and hand begging to the city, but the upzone can happen from where, by whom? And that's the last thing I want to ask you about.
[1:20:23] So the people representing the administration were very generous with their time after the community meeting last week, very professional, very polite,
[1:20:31] but also very cagey when everybody in the room wanted to know one thing for the purpose of accountability and transparency.
[1:20:38] Whose idea was this? Where did this come from?
[1:20:41] I understand 12, 15 years ago, these ideas are always milling about, they're coming up, there's different neighborhoods.
[1:20:47] You started telling me about the history of upzoning in West Grove and here and there.
[1:20:51] But you also told me that seven to eight months ago there was a resurgence in interest in city hall for this.
[1:20:57] Where did it come from? We just want to know whose idea it was.
[1:21:00] It might be better to know that it was the district commissioner,
[1:21:02] because at least we know it was an idea that came from within the community,
[1:21:05] rather one that came from outside of it and was forced onto it.
[1:21:08] Was it the mayor? Was it the city manager?
[1:21:10] The coward from Broward, who was sponsoring this item,
[1:21:13] but doesn't bother to show up to defend it himself.
[1:21:15] I just think we need some more clarity and answers to those questions.
[1:21:19] I don't know if that necessitates a deferral or not, but I think those are some important
[1:21:23] issues that I would hope the board would address tonight and get answers to.
[1:21:27] Thank you.
[1:21:29] Thank you.
[1:21:30] All right.
[1:21:31] That's.
[1:21:31] Please don't.
[1:21:33] Thank you.
[1:21:34] Thank you.
[1:21:36] Hi.
[1:21:36] Good evening.
[1:21:37] My name is Riza Fernandez.
[1:21:38] because my address is 992 Northwest District, Miami, Florida, I live maybe on block away from one
[1:21:46] of the proposed properties and I have a T4.
[1:21:52] And so when people mention about ab zoning and making the most profit of their properties,
[1:21:59] I live in a single family home, but my property is designated T4, but yet I have not received
[1:22:06] any notice about these properties changes happening a block away on the river because I'm 350 feet
[1:22:15] away and not 300. And so I think that this is very unprofessional to not send enough notice
[1:22:24] to homeowners, not just investors or developers that live in the neighborhood or have homes
[1:22:32] that property owner should have been notified.
[1:22:35] Within at least 500 feet of the properties,
[1:22:38] especially with this type of change in zoning.
[1:22:42] The property that is in place at the end,
[1:22:45] the folial number in your last package,
[1:22:47] it goes from Miami zoning is T5,
[1:22:50] and it goes up to T6 through eight,
[1:22:53] but at the moment that property is not a building,
[1:22:56] it's just a very, there's one vacant land
[1:22:58] and one small marine commercial space that's there.
[1:23:01] And so I think that is in peril to the people that live here in this neighborhood, to be notified, to be spoken to the planning department never reached out.
[1:23:14] Little Havana has a master plan that was done 10 years ago, and none of that has been incorporated where the community really took part in shaping this.
[1:23:23] I don't see anything about park, space, green space infrastructure for transit. None of this has been
[1:23:32] shown in this planning application. It's been, it feels like it's been a doodle, so many properties
[1:23:40] that have been circled in because there's been requests by developers and property owners that will
[1:23:48] a lot of money but not been requested by homeowners and neighborhood associations.
[1:23:58] So there's a little of Anna Shenandoah, there's a lot of property master plans and reports on his sort of preservation.
[1:24:06] And I think that this should be deferred or ask some serious questions.
[1:24:12] Thank you.
[1:24:14] Good evening board.
[1:24:15] I'm Richard Casada, a property owner of 1877, Southwest 7th Street, and I just wanted to say that
[1:24:25] the demand to live in this area is huge, the working class that lives in that area,
[1:24:30] more than more times than one would like their force into small poorly conditioned apartments,
[1:24:36] because that's all they can rent, it's available, near their work, which is in this little Havana
[1:24:42] area in neighborhood and so our city that is growing so much I believe this proposal very well
[1:24:49] thought out is the next step in helping our city grow especially this area which is a very big working
[1:24:56] class area, and so I would urge.
[1:25:00] We should support to approve this well-thought-out proposal, which I think will help the development that our city really needs. Thank you.
[1:25:08] Thank you.
[1:25:12] Hello, my name is Susie Battel, and I own a business in this area. It's called the Sukadai's cream at 1503 Southwest State Street.
[1:25:20] I need to just at least put in that what's wrong with little Havana now? What's wrong with our area? Who wants big buildings there?
[1:25:31] And the whole point is that it's quaint.
[1:25:33] The whole point is that it's charming.
[1:25:36] The whole point is that people want to go backwards,
[1:25:39] and that's the nostalgic part of our neighborhood.
[1:25:42] By the way, I went to preschool, where the Marlin Stadium
[1:25:46] is a candy land.
[1:25:47] I've been in this neighborhood for 57 years.
[1:25:51] So please defer defer defer.
[1:25:54] There's no, I don't understand the rush.
[1:25:57] I don't understand why this is so quick.
[1:25:59] I don't understand why nobody gets notices.
[1:26:02] I don't understand any of this.
[1:26:04] So in my eyes, what are we doing here?
[1:26:07] Why are you doing that?
[1:26:09] How do you sleep at night like that?
[1:26:11] I just, it's sort of sad to me to see that this is happening here.
[1:26:16] So please, let's take a look at it
[1:26:18] and actually educate ourselves
[1:26:21] as to how this is going to work.
[1:26:23] Not so quick, not so let's get it in right now.
[1:26:27] defer defer defer defer. Thank you.
[1:26:31] Because this will love on a clapping. Thanks.
[1:26:35] He was Michelle.
[1:26:36] Stan Sheena, I live at 1325 Southwest 22nd
[1:26:39] Harris. I think a lot of really important
[1:26:42] ballet points on both sides have been
[1:26:45] brought up. I think that the city's obviously
[1:26:47] growing and has room for growth.
[1:26:49] Business owners want to grow.
[1:26:52] People want to live in apartments.
[1:26:54] They need to live in apartments.
[1:26:55] But the people that are here and currently
[1:26:57] live here at ballot concerns.
[1:27:00] As was just mentioned, there is no reason to rush this through this effects.
[1:27:06] As you heard, they called out for 30 minutes the addresses that are affected.
[1:27:12] This will not only affect the people living in those addresses, but multiple houses, as was
[1:27:18] mentioned, that are 50 feet away that were not on that 30 minute list.
[1:27:22] This requires time, this requires energy, this requires
[1:27:26] do diligence, okay? It's not just about housing. It's not just about buildings going up.
[1:27:32] There's a lack of services. There's a lack of a fire station. There's a lack of public transportation.
[1:27:38] There's already congestion as was mentioned last week. There's a hurricane of vacuum. We
[1:27:43] should route what happens to that route when you add 20,000 people to that community. People
[1:27:49] complain about congestion every day in group chats. The schools are affected. This is not something
[1:27:55] that you can do in one month and evaluate properly.
[1:28:01] This requires proper studying and planning.
[1:28:06] There's city planners and it's almost insulting
[1:28:08] to the city planners how fast this is going through.
[1:28:12] So I urge you to defer until more information is actually available.
[1:28:18] So that you can plan the city and grow the city
[1:28:21] but grow it in a proper and effective way.
[1:28:25] Thank you.
[1:28:29] Is there anyone else who would like to speak? Okay. We will now engage in discussion on this item.
[1:28:42] Go ahead, remember, man.
[1:28:45] Can we hear the city responses first?
[1:28:47] Can we hear the city responses first?
[1:28:50] Do you want to do that?
[1:28:52] Okay.
[1:28:55] Do you have any specifics you wanted to respond to from public comment?
[1:29:00] I believe there was a comment about parking, so my Amy 21 does require one-and-a-half spaces per unit and then has parking requirements for everything that still applies.
[1:29:14] We did the City Commission did adopt a little Havana parking trust fund earlier this year and so the actual only way to get a parking reduction anywhere in that area is if you pay into that fund.
[1:29:29] So, you're no longer allowed to get the reductions by right that are allowed within my
[1:29:35] 21.
[1:29:36] The only way to get reductions are to pay into that fund.
[1:29:39] We additionally are working on another parking trust fund that will come forward next
[1:29:46] peace ad meetings September 16th.
[1:29:49] And so, we are addressing the parking concerns through those parking trust funds.
[1:29:56] I believe there was, I'm not sure what the other comment was.
[1:30:00] The other question? Did you have one in mind? Okay.
[1:30:06] Well, if anybody thinks of anything else they heard, they want clarification. Good.
[1:30:15] Yeah, I've been on this board a long time and every now and then you see something rushed to us like this in a big, big hurry.
[1:30:23] And typically, you don't know where it's coming from.
[1:30:30] It's carbon that a very good point.
[1:30:32] Who on earth is pushing this?
[1:30:36] All of the principles are brand new to their positions.
[1:30:39] They have not been here long enough to have any idea
[1:30:43] about the genesis of this project.
[1:30:48] And it's development, not the mayor, not the city manager,
[1:30:51] not the commissioner, nobody involved with this project from the administration's point, has
[1:31:00] been here long enough to have a hand in it at all. So Mr. Corbyn's point is, well taken,
[1:31:06] where is this coming from? And who's pushing it? And why is it being pushed down our
[1:31:13] roads so quickly. It's a little odd. It's a massive project. It's
[1:31:21] upzoning on steroids. And if we think that the city, yes, the city
[1:31:28] needs truly affordable housing. But for a project this size, I want to be
[1:31:37] assured before I can vote anything. I want to be assured that it is in fact
[1:31:44] necessary is it just a bunch of developers who have ever
[1:31:48] right to make money, but they do not have the right to rush something
[1:31:53] this massive indoor faces and say quick, quick sign here, let us get going
[1:31:59] because a lot of people are going to make money. Mr. Cruz was absolutely right.
[1:32:05] Most of our services are certainly all the major roads in Miami are F.
[1:32:10] And Mr. Snyder is absolutely right, one and a half per dwelling unit, but you can paint
[1:32:17] with fund and you can get virtually nothing, no parking whatsoever if you paint up money
[1:32:23] to the fund, and I suspect that tied to that program, you can also get additional bonus
[1:32:29] site.
[1:32:31] So with something this massive, it's insulting to me, and I would hope to some other members
[1:32:38] on this board to be asked to vote on it with no information whatsoever, except that staff
[1:32:47] has drawn some nice pictures. So I'm pretty sure that the staff, if they were pushing
[1:32:53] this, they would have made sure that this board knew all they could about it. So I don't
[1:33:00] believe staff is pushing it. There's somebody behind a curtain here. And there's no way that
[1:33:06] I could do anything but defer this until I understand who and why.
[1:33:12] A lot of the absonies in this city must have necessity.
[1:33:17] If this is necessary to break transitional form and put T5s up against T3s and T4s
[1:33:26] up against T6s, I want to know why before I vote on it.
[1:33:31] Not against growth in the city, I think the city survives on growth.
[1:33:35] It dies without it, but there is intelligent growth,
[1:33:39] and there is irresponsible growth.
[1:33:42] And to rush this into our faces is irresponsible.
[1:33:46] I can't tell you one thing about this project.
[1:33:49] It's new to us.
[1:33:51] We don't know anything about it.
[1:33:53] And now they want us to vote and say, oh, it's OK.
[1:33:55] Who would all be OK?
[1:33:57] Well, we're not going to have the parking,
[1:33:59] so we're not going to have any more cars.
[1:34:01] OK, so where's the buses?
[1:34:03] Where's the trains? Where's the streets?
[1:34:09] It's almost ludicrous. And to have to listen to 30 minutes of properties when we don't have a clue who's behind this and why they're behind it and what the true impacts are going to be is a little ridiculous.
[1:34:27] And unfortunately, it's not the first time that this board has been asked to act this way with nowhere near enough information in a rush because somebody's in a rush here and I would love to know who it is.
[1:34:40] Because as I said, nobody on the administration here has been here long enough to have a hand in this.
[1:34:45] They may have looked at it and said, oh, this is nice. Yes, it's going to bring a lot of revenue to the city. Well, this terrific.
[1:34:51] So explain it to us, explain it to this board, why it is truly necessary, now some of them.
[1:35:00] But people that spoke just now, reasonably eloquently, about why they would like to have this, well,
[1:35:06] geez, why on properties up in those neighborhoods, I would like this too, because it's a money maker.
[1:35:11] You're the value of your properties that are going to go up, and there's nothing wrong with that.
[1:35:14] But don't ask me to vote blind, because I will not do it.
[1:35:23] I vote to my vote would be to defer this, and let's hear some more about it.
[1:35:27] The last thing I want to say is NCDs are not ironclad.
[1:35:35] This very board denied NCD3 their rights.
[1:35:41] I don't think they realized what they were doing.
[1:35:44] I don't think that some of the members on this board really understood what the NCD was supposed to afford the people that applied for it.
[1:35:52] It's supposed to give them more protections.
[1:35:55] So the biggest thing that I would like to see is,
[1:35:57] Yes, all at T3 properties, surrounding any kind of a
[1:36:02] development of this size should have their NCD applications rushed forward
[1:36:08] even faster than this project is being restored.
[1:36:12] So I would vote for the firm.
[1:36:14] Thank you.
[1:36:15] Actually, remember, for yourself, I'm going to go ahead.
[1:36:23] So as far as this is, this is probably, I'm sure there's a lot of people
[1:36:27] here, it sounds like they're confused for, you know,
[1:36:33] I'm a good little personal on this, but I live in Shendo, in the roads, have businesses on
[1:36:39] Kiocho, I'm affected by a lot of crime and vagrancies and a lot of inefficiencies in
[1:36:47] the current code, especially on H3, in T6-8, abunning up to 7th Street and having an
[1:37:00] of shanniers, it's not, it's really just an inefficiency in the current zone.
[1:37:07] I wouldn't see this as an up zone.
[1:37:09] This is more of making the current zoning efficient so that you can have proper development
[1:37:14] and that you can have proper buildings that actually makes sense.
[1:37:20] If you kind of get into the weeds a little bit and you understand the lot dimensions on
[1:37:24] It's about 110 feet, anybody that builds on those corridors ends up having a build very inefficient buildings that don't even allow for proper parking.
[1:37:37] You can't even build a parking structure on the eight street properties that are but the T4 on nine street.
[1:37:44] I mean, I think nine streets should be all up zones so that you can build proper developments on eight street.
[1:37:49] It treats a major corridor, and one of the things that a lot of people know understand about this corridor is that it is a one-way corridor.
[1:37:57] It is a highway. This is a state highway. This is not a two-way road.
[1:38:03] In order to build proper development on these corridors with the adequate parking,
[1:38:09] you need to have these abutting zoning be implemented.
[1:38:13] This is, this is not can Griffin coming to Miami to buy all these properties on TIO, sorry, sorry, they're not, you know, for the buzzkill.
[1:38:24] I mean, this is just efficiencies, this is design, this is architecture, this is just implementing the property zoning so that you could build efficient buildings and we can improve the neighborhood and you can get a different quality of independence.
[1:38:39] This is not about the business owner and taking away the character of the Havana.
[1:38:44] This is about making it efficient.
[1:38:48] I'm not getting into the time.
[1:38:50] This is not my position.
[1:38:51] My position is only to illustrate to you the inefficiencies in the market and the overall benefits to the community.
[1:38:59] Because I think a lot of people just don't know what's your understanding of the benefits.
[1:39:03] I think if you understood the benefits, you would be very happy.
[1:39:06] So, I'm not getting it, I'm not, I'm not into the process, I'm not into the process, I am only here to illustrate the benefits, the board will decide the timing, that's up to the board.
[1:39:19] I'm only here to explain the positive things that will be impacted by the ups and downs.
[1:39:25] So, thank you.
[1:39:37] Member for yourself, can you speak into the mic?
[1:39:40] Can you speak into the mic?
[1:39:42] Member for yourself, can you speak into the mic?
[1:39:46] I'm not going to get into a long dissertation of every single benefit.
[1:39:52] I'm just basically illustrating the positive impact that it will make, and that is what I'm here.
[1:40:00] To make decisions on behalf of the community that are in the best interests. I'm not, you know, the board, this is a big issue with the board. I think these meetings end up wasting, I think these are a big waste of time to be honest with you. I think everybody should have been educated. I think there's times for people to call in. You know, I think our issues here on the board are to make decisions on the, you know, to understand the zoning and to make decisions that are in the best interests of the community.
[1:40:30] I am here just to say, hey, I think it's in the best interest of the community.
[1:40:33] I don't have to get into the semantics of all the reasons why, because it's too long.
[1:40:39] I'm not going to get into it.
[1:40:39] I'm here to make a decision and to move on.
[1:40:42] Otherwise, these meetings could end up to, to in the morning.
[1:40:44] I think these meetings are very inefficient, and I think people need to take positions as board members and move on.
[1:40:52] Whether we dedicate more time to either doing other things, whether it's to the furl, that's not my position.
[1:40:59] My position is to make a position on what I believe the positive impacts are going to be the committee
[1:41:06] I'm not into process. I'm not here into anything other than hey, I think it's a good decision
[1:41:11] And I think that's what every board member here should do is study and figure out do I like this?
[1:41:16] Why do I not like this and move on?
[1:41:18] That's thank you.
[1:41:25] I just have a few comments. I was looking at the analysis for the compilant change
[1:41:31] specifically the level of service, so a couple pieces of information regarding schools, six of the nine schools do not have capacity, but the projected numbers students with the application.
[1:41:44] The water service states that it meets the level of standards but does not contemplate any non-residential uses, which is surprising.
[1:41:55] sewer was not evaluated. It states that'll be reviewed by the county. And in addition, traffic
[1:42:04] estimates an additional 24,000 cars in the morning. I'm sorry, 24,000 cars in the evening
[1:42:11] and 21,000 cars in the morning. Can you walk us through that review and how you feel that that
[1:42:21] So, I'm going to ask Ryan, who's our chief of comprehensive planning to help me out here.
[1:42:26] So, we submit based on the land use and the increased density we submit for a concurrency review with my immediate school board.
[1:42:36] They look at it. So, they've changed their policy how many years ago?
[1:42:44] So it's not just the schools within, it's also neighboring the neighboring schools.
[1:42:51] So they also, so not only do they look at immediate schools, they also look at their
[1:42:55] capacity for those students to be absorbed in, like the essentially the next level,
[1:43:01] or the next ring of schools.
[1:43:03] And so they, they have said that there are enough seats, so there's may not be directly
[1:43:08] directly within that area, but the neighboring areas could absorb any additional seats.
[1:43:13] So therefore, based on their reviewed, that they are saying that there are enough seats.
[1:43:20] We submit for sewer as well as Hurricane evacuation, goes to the county.
[1:43:27] We submit it Hurricane evacuation levels to the county, probably two months ago, three months ago.
[1:43:36] So those were, those were issued to the county, they did not respond.
[1:43:43] So there is another, and then of course when we do transportation, we only look at, at this level.
[1:43:49] At this point, we only look at how many pink AM and PM are trips are generated and that is what is generated by what is considered
[1:44:03] and traffic engineering to be the highest use.
[1:44:09] It's not what actually would make it built.
[1:44:13] So imagine if Dave Land Mall got built here,
[1:44:18] that's what it's essentially contemplating in some cases.
[1:44:22] So it's not necessarily the peaks,
[1:44:25] or not necessarily the best,
[1:44:28] they're contemplating that every square inch gets built out
[1:44:32] the maximum land use that would create the most amount of trips.
[1:44:39] What happens at a later date as projects come in, as projects come in, they're required
[1:44:44] to do a study, a traffic study, and based on those actual uses that are being proposed and
[1:44:51] built at that time, they have to mitigate any traffic impacts.
[1:44:54] That's how our traffic concurrency works.
[1:44:57] We do have, in this case, another love.
[1:45:01] Review for our level of service. So we take all the information that is included in your staff report and we submit that to the state.
[1:45:09] In the state, we use that. If they have any questions, require additional information, disagree with our analysis. They have essentially 30 days to respond. In this case, we are in this case, we are next to two state rows in I-95.
[1:45:28] So there is a good chance that they will have or require additional information from us at that time, so we don't know that until we actually submit.
[1:45:41] So that's kind of how the level of service works and how we contemplate level of service.
[1:45:46] I will say that one of the differences that you should note is that there are significantly less properties in the future land use map amendment than there are in the rezoning
[1:45:57] because our future land use map that has not been holistically looked at in the city since we believe
[1:46:06] maybe the 80s, I would say at the earliest, the late 90s, already contemplates additional growth
[1:46:16] and additional density and up zoning in a large portion of these areas. So that's why you see a discrepancy
[1:46:23] in the number of properties in the future land use map amendment and the rezoning.
[1:46:28] It's because a lot of that growth has already been planned for.
[1:46:34] Thank you.
[1:46:39] Okay.
[1:46:44] Okay.
[1:46:45] There we go.
[1:46:46] I mean, first and foremost, double cheers again for all the reading.
[1:46:50] And that was very impressive.
[1:46:52] And then of course, thank you staff for the analysis and everything else in between.
[1:46:55] I have a couple of questions and I think the easiest one is to ensure that the amendment and the item that's before is with the amendments removes most of the single family homes.
[1:47:08] There were never any single family homes that were included.
[1:47:12] There was an area to the south.
[1:47:15] And we can we can share the maps again. There was an area.
[1:47:18] So there was an area to the south where originally proposed was T5, a budding T3, and it is currently T4, a budding T3.
[1:47:29] What we heard from our neighbor at the neighborhood meeting is that that really encouraged too close and too far into the single family neighborhood or into our neighborhoods to the south.
[1:47:38] So we significantly reduce that so that the T4 remains and where there is depth where there is some depth there
[1:47:49] We did do complete the transect to T6 T5 T4 and so
[1:47:56] That's what does that is why we change that so there were no single family homes that were included originally
[1:48:01] And I think that leads me to my main point here. I think it's imperative that we make sure that
[1:48:06] the transect zoning itself is laid out.
[1:48:10] I understand that in the actual transect zones
[1:48:14] is where we're up zoning to allow for greater density
[1:48:17] where it's needed and where it's allowed
[1:48:19] based on the stats of our foundation based on what's before us.
[1:48:23] So within that, those are my two points.
[1:48:25] The fact that making sure that amendment
[1:48:27] and the focus is imperative on making sure
[1:48:31] that the up zoning is proper.
[1:48:33] And I think it's also imperative that we look at this
[1:48:36] stages and steps. I think there's a lot of issues with this. It's a lot of great things with this and at this point in time
[1:48:44] I'm supportive of it mostly because it is a very long process and while yes, this has brought upon and placed on our laps within the last couple months.
[1:48:54] I mean, it has been a couple months. It's been back and forth.
[1:48:59] We still have to go before the full board. We still have to go before the state.
[1:49:03] And we still have, first reading and second reading that we come back and reread these items and take them on.
[1:49:10] So at this point, I just think it's imperative that we make sure that we protect those transit zones and transit corridors to make sure that the matured and the majority of that density is there and not within.
[1:49:21] I know it's done within the single family homes, but we'd like to, I guess, hop button in that topic of single family homes.
[1:49:27] And so therefore I'm supportive of it just imperative of that fact to make sure that
[1:49:32] the transit quarters are the ones that are being fully impacted.
[1:49:35] Thank you.
[1:49:41] I would like to mirror my board member that he just has commented that I am supportive of it because of the processes very lengthy.
[1:49:50] I understand and there will be multiple phases in this that requires a lot of input.
[1:49:56] But I do want to speak up for the people that are in this room.
[1:50:00] But they feel like they need to be more engaged with city staff. What I heard here from multiple people was that a meeting was a meeting was done the day before or now to day before, and most of them didn't have any notice. This is why we have a lot of these residents here today.
[1:50:19] And amendment was provided, I heard, five hours before, day before?
[1:50:27] The, the proposed amendment was published with a piece of agenda on Friday.
[1:50:31] On Friday.
[1:50:33] I just think we need to do a little more with a community engaged with them and a little bit,
[1:50:41] it would be nice for this board to also hear how many meetings we've actually conducted
[1:50:47] has it been won, has it been, has it been, is it not even won?
[1:50:51] It's only been won meeting.
[1:50:53] Okay.
[1:50:55] Well, that would be my comment, as far as involving this community more.
[1:51:00] And that's where I stand on that.
[1:51:05] Thank you.
[1:51:06] I got a question for you.
[1:51:08] So, we shall the staff and I got information that there was three community meetings.
[1:51:13] One, eight twenty five, a regional community meeting, eight twenty six, wrote H.O.A. and then
[1:51:22] Historic Shenandoah, eight twenty eight.
[1:51:24] So the planning department only conducted one public outreach meeting and that was on eight twenty five.
[1:51:30] I do believe that is my understanding that the commissioner did additional meetings after that.
[1:51:35] And those are the ones that you're seeking to.
[1:51:37] Thank you.
[1:51:38] Next question for you is related to the loss of services you pretty much answered it, but I just want to make sure that I'm clear on the answer and so you submit it
[1:51:49] It is related solely to transportation so you submit it to the county you wait 30 days to I guess to hear back from them and so how do you know if you met the criteria if you haven't heard back from.
[1:52:00] So we submit to the state, so we submit and then the Florida Department of Transportation actually looks at the information that we gave us.
[1:52:14] And then do we also at the time we also submit to the county at the same time. So the county gets another copy of what we haven't already submitted to them because we've already submitted some information to them.
[1:52:25] they'll get another full packet of the entire analysis along with the resolution and everything.
[1:52:32] And then it goes to every single department at the state of Florida. And so there are multiple
[1:52:38] departments within the state that do the review. Transportation is only one of them.
[1:52:45] Sometimes they say nothing and we never hear anything from them. Sometimes they submit a formal letter
[1:52:53] back to us. That says we have these questions we would like you to respond. Sometimes we get a letter from
[1:53:01] Fortment Board of Department of Commerce that says there are no objections to review is complete.
[1:53:07] Sometimes we get one that says this is a violation of state law. Everything is not valid anymore.
[1:53:14] So it just depends that also all of that communication then gets attached into the public record
[1:53:21] for the second reading at City Commission. Of course, if the state does require additional
[1:53:27] analysis that typically differs our second reading until we are able to provide or to answer
[1:53:34] this questions to the state. And so then again once once we get through that review with the state
[1:53:43] and then second reading happens we still have to submit to the state again and they have to accept it
[1:53:50] And then, and then approve it again.
[1:53:53] So there's even another 30 days after that before it becomes effective.
[1:53:57] What's staff that many was to adding a condition of a traffic study, is item?
[1:54:03] So we cannot condition rezoning or future land use maps.
[1:54:07] Thank you.
[1:54:07] And then the next question for you is related to the Coastal High Zone Hazard.
[1:54:11] You said that was also submitted to the county.
[1:54:15] And so you feel comfortable that all conditions were met because you did not hear back.
[1:54:19] for the hurricane evacuation?
[1:54:22] Yes.
[1:54:23] We, we tried very hard to maintain our good relationship with the county and to get answers from them.
[1:54:30] We submit every featureally and use map for this review for them because they ultimately are the keepers of our hurricane evacuation routes and of our shelters.
[1:54:41] So we also do shelter review with them.
[1:54:43] We rarely hear comment back.
[1:54:46] it's safe to say. So, hey, do you conclude that that part here was met? Like all the things that's
[1:54:52] wrong? That's typically if we do, I mean typically in level service review if there's no comment
[1:54:57] back then we are okay to proceed.
[1:55:01] So, I just want to clarify, so it's not an assumption that it's standard process that, like, if you don't hear back, what, another question. When was it submitted to the county? What do you want to verify?
[1:55:12] Brian, we'll have to double check. We typically try to submit all of our, we try to do a minimum of 60 days for all of our level of services. Sometimes when we submit to the school board, we need a full 60 days.
[1:55:26] So, typically we're working on a 60 day cycle for our concurrency, sometimes that gets pushed to 30 days, but typically it's about a 60 day notice.
[1:55:36] Next question for you. This item does not require affordable housing correct.
[1:55:41] And so, in the presentation, there was a thing that says like affordable housing, like it was a check mark that it was like, it was a factor approved.
[1:55:52] So if it doesn't require any affordable housing,
[1:55:54] how can you say, like, that was met?
[1:55:57] So I think that as we add more housing units
[1:56:05] in general, that begins to stabilize our market,
[1:56:08] whether it's a foref or sale product,
[1:56:14] any units as we add them begin to stabilize that.
[1:56:19] Throughout our country's history,
[1:56:21] when we've had affordability, housing affordability crisis, and then 1820s and the 1940s,
[1:56:27] we did it often by building more homes and we did it by increasing density where we already
[1:56:34] had existing houses. So in a lot of street car, neighborhoods, throughout the country, you'll see
[1:56:40] single family homes cut up into due plexus at that time and you can go through the maps
[1:56:44] and almost any city in America and see that. So that is often how we have solved
[1:56:50] affordability crisis is and we know that that works is that if we don't have enough units
[1:56:54] it drives up the price so some of this is will be some of the affordability will naturally
[1:57:00] occur because we're able to stabilize the market anytime I think there's also these are smaller
[1:57:08] lots and there's already a lot of density there and so a lot of these a lot of these places
[1:57:14] cannot rebuild at the density they're already functioning at, because of the zoning that they're
[1:57:21] at.
[1:57:23] So, that's also part of why we're moving this forward in trying to maintain that as well,
[1:57:31] and those naturally occurring what we call missing middle housing.
[1:57:36] So, there's housing units that don't include amenities like gems and pools, and so as a
[1:57:44] they're just more affordable. We often see two that the size will drive the price of a unit
[1:57:53] or whether it's for rent or for sale. So if it's a thousand square foot unit and it's
[1:58:00] $100 a square foot, it's you know, $100,000. If it's a thousand square feet and it's $300. It's
[1:58:10] It's $900 square feet, and it's $100 unit.
[1:58:14] It's only $90,000.
[1:58:16] So sometimes what happens is when we have additional density,
[1:58:19] it allows people to build smaller houses or smaller units,
[1:58:23] and that becomes affordable as well.
[1:58:25] I think through the other things that we are exploring,
[1:58:28] such as the neighborhood revitalization district,
[1:58:30] there can be public housing, or not sorry,
[1:58:33] not public housing, but affordable housing component put into that,
[1:58:38] And that's where it can be incentivized.
[1:58:41] And my final question is, in the packet, like identified, like a portion of affordable housing,
[1:58:48] I don't know if that was excluded, like with the new, the changes.
[1:58:53] It was a natural portion of some units about how many units.
[1:58:59] But also, like, you said there would be no displacement.
[1:59:03] I just wanted to understand how you came to that.
[1:59:05] There would be no displacement once this is completed.
[1:59:13] Is this maybe for different projects that we're talking about tonight?
[1:59:18] Same project.
[1:59:19] We're still on 8 and 9, correct?
[1:59:31] In the photos, there was no, like the photos that you identified.
[1:59:34] There was no affordable housing units like in the entire map.
[1:59:38] Oh, maybe.
[1:59:44] It was a initial map.
[1:59:45] It was before this one, the initial packet that was submitted.
[1:59:58] And the only reason I asked that because it was...
[2:00:00] There will be no displacement, just based off of those photographs. I just want to make sure that, like, how do we come to the
[2:00:05] group?
[2:00:06] There is another item on the agenda, and that comment applies directly to that item,
[2:00:12] but that's why I'm a little confused, because I am, maybe, maybe.
[2:00:15] And that one does directly, that does directly impact a county housing project that is on, that
[2:00:22] is in the city limits, and so there will be no displacement with that one, but that is not
[2:00:26] in this area.
[2:00:27] Okay. Thank you.
[2:00:27] So, I mean, maybe I can thank you.
[2:00:32] It's, I'm not aware of any housing projects that are in this area that would be displaced by any upsetting.
[2:00:41] So, I can't say that, but.
[2:00:44] Good.
[2:00:45] So, there was mention of a master plan.
[2:00:48] What, what background can you give us on that and where is that in the process of being either implemented or not?
[2:00:56] So that was done in
[2:01:08] Ryan, I'll speak to it.
[2:01:09] Good evening, Ryan Shed with the City of Miami Chief of Comprehensive Planning.
[2:01:13] We actually have some of the great minds that worked with the community here to put together
[2:01:17] the little event of the import. A lot of people were at Miami, Senior High in 2019, was it 2019?
[2:01:26] It was before the date. It was before COVID, it was 2017, 2018.
[2:01:33] And through many hours put together lots of work to come up with a lot of recommendations for everything across the neighborhood including transportation, green space, zoning, housing historic preservation.
[2:01:47] So all of that is in the little pandemic important to plan that was put together with a number of organizations across the little Havana, including date heritage trust and others.
[2:01:58] So, how does that, what's the process to either implement or not implement that plan, where does that, what is the status of that?
[2:02:09] And, all I just, what would you repeat your question?
[2:02:12] For the master plan, what is the intent of that master plan for implementation or not?
[2:02:18] I mean, has it just been shelved?
[2:02:21] I think it was shelved for many years and I think the hope is that we are able to build upon that master planning effort through the efforts that we're endeavoring now.
[2:02:34] I just want to say one final thing, like I understand like a lot of people
[2:02:38] waiting at the notices the most recent notices, I believe that a commissioner
[2:02:42] has been trying to work and do a lot of community meetings and this is like one step in
[2:02:47] the loan process. There is some items that issue that give me slight heartburn,
[2:02:52] but I believe in the process and so I will be supporting item.
[2:03:01] The first thought, you know, for me is the amount of sort of not replaceable
[2:03:17] buildings of character that kind of make the neighborhood.
[2:03:23] You know, I first hand saw the development of legislation and watched it evolve around
[2:03:36] winwood and I always tell people that it was built to encourage a lot of adaptive reuse
[2:03:44] and that never happened, right, like whatever's left
[2:03:48] and when what is won't be, certainly not really
[2:03:54] is charming of a neighborhood to begin with as little
[2:03:58] of Anna is now.
[2:04:01] So by doing the reason, I understand that there's a transfer
[2:04:06] of development, right, sort of component.
[2:04:10] What that looks like, and the details, I'm not sure,
[2:04:15] I'm comfortable saying that I know what that would be, how that would function, but you
[2:04:20] know, the idea is that if you can do that, you're putting money into old, cool buildings
[2:04:25] that keep the neighborhood looking a certain way and there's incentive to repair them
[2:04:30] and then, you know, someone can do something somewhere else, maybe even close by.
[2:04:36] But I don't, I think it's a, that kind of thing, taking one of the few remaining places that you could walk down the street in our city and understand what you're looking at as being unique to that area.
[2:04:56] I would definitely be at least way more.
[2:05:00] The favor of not taking a vote on this for that reason alone, because it's just, why would you kill the
[2:05:08] Golden goose, really? It's, you know, one of the top thirst, thirst destinations in the city.
[2:05:14] I do understand how frustrating it is. I don't own any commercial property and I did one thing.
[2:05:24] and I had to sell it.
[2:05:26] But I do understand how frustrating it is to have highly efficient, inefficient zoning,
[2:05:33] If I could flush T4 down the toilet, I would, because I think T5, and especially in today's
[2:05:40] market, it's like the only way you could get anything done on smaller sites, because it
[2:05:44] would allow you to do the things you need to do, and that's, you know, I know Mr.
[2:05:49] Mr. Cruz heard of a speak a lot and I understand his skepticism, well, you know, or anyone
[2:05:53] It makes the argument that someone buys a property and, you know, it's not really our problem
[2:05:59] what you can do with it. If you bought it, you knew what you were doing and assumed the risk.
[2:06:04] But I think you know, times have changed so much that I do understand that we need to do some rezoning
[2:06:12] and then the length of time that it takes to get the city to come on board to pick a site and do it.
[2:06:19] take forever, or, you know, you could talk to a few people
[2:06:22] and they're like, oh, that's a great idea.
[2:06:24] And so when I was at all, that's a great idea,
[2:06:25] and somewhere it stops.
[2:06:27] So then I also asked the question, yes, why this
[2:06:30] so large of a change so quickly, I could totally support
[2:06:36] a pilot program or a phase one where we said, look,
[2:06:41] we are going to take the place, even if there's
[2:06:45] a few great buildings that get brought into it.
[2:06:48] But let's say we picked the spot where we have the biggest need to put the most intense
[2:06:56] resone and underlying land use change and said we're taking this trunk and we're in a
[2:07:00] triet and we're going to see what happens.
[2:07:02] The people start doing things in the next two to five years.
[2:07:05] Okay, great.
[2:07:07] Let's roll it out somewhere else.
[2:07:09] Did the adaptive reuse incentives work?
[2:07:12] Did we preserve buildings because there was a transfer of development rights and people utilize
[2:07:16] them?
[2:07:18] But to do it and really change the character of the entire neighborhood, potentially so fast, and then you could argue.
[2:07:27] Well, it's going to take forever. It doesn't. I mean, that's the other crazy thing.
[2:07:31] Everything takes forever until suddenly, you know, you unlock.
[2:07:35] And I understand they're building cycles and clearly a lot of people aren't sure what's happening right now.
[2:07:41] but in general, if you unlock all of this height and density,
[2:07:46] quickly people will take advantage, they will demolish
[2:07:49] as soon as they can, to at least make sure nothing changes,
[2:07:53] and then they can say, well now we have nothing
[2:07:54] and we can now build this, whatever we want to build.
[2:07:59] Counterpoint to a counterpoint to a counterpoint.
[2:08:01] Live local could affect some of these anyway,
[2:08:04] and so I understand that the city is in a rush to try
[2:08:07] to give people some sense of uniformity, right?
[2:08:14] Because then the other problem is here,
[2:08:17] if the city has chosen to do this,
[2:08:20] and I also am concerned that,
[2:08:22] you know, I don't get the sense that the commissioner
[2:08:24] for this district is 100% by this.
[2:08:29] I don't know that, we don't know, right?
[2:08:32] sponsored by City Manager usually means, well,
[2:08:38] I'll come in a few different things, but it gets into that later.
[2:08:45] But certainly if something is sponsored by the Commission Commissioner of that district,
[2:08:50] it does send a strong signal that it has been well-considered and we're not seeing that here.
[2:08:55] I think another thing is that if it came out of the gate and everyone was ready to go
[2:09:00] and then suddenly everyone freaked out and they made a lot of changes and came back to us and said,
[2:09:04] okay, now it's ready to go. What's to say, they can't come back a third time and say,
[2:09:07] okay, no, no, no, no, no. But now it's really ready to go and it's paired down even more.
[2:09:13] So, you know, clearly the necessity that would have been delivered at that first briefing or conversation
[2:09:22] It was 100% really correct because it's smaller now than it was before we saw it.
[2:09:48] So
[2:09:51] yeah, that's all.
[2:09:55] I'd like to make a motion.
[2:09:57] Make a motion in a proof.
[2:10:00] Sir, second,
[2:10:04] I'll second be some staff recommendation.
[2:10:06] I didn't hear the motion motion was to approve.
[2:10:11] And just to be clear, it's as amended with the updated.
[2:10:15] With the, yes.
[2:10:17] Okay. And then also just a reminder that this does require a supermajority vote.
[2:10:22] And since there are ten that requires seven.
[2:10:29] Okay. There's a motion in a second.
[2:10:32] Well, this is for the first item for the future lane, underlying, and then we'll do the
[2:10:37] Miami tour.
[2:10:42] Okay.
[2:10:43] Let's...
[2:10:47] Board Member Arthur Parasoff.

[2:11:26] Chair, Adam Gerstein.
[2:11:30] No. Motion passes 7 to 3, and this decision is final, unless the division of hearing boards receives an appeal within 15 days.
[2:11:42] It's not final. It's going to City Commission.
[2:11:45] Okay.
[2:11:47] Next one. So zoning.
[2:11:52] Is there just any further discussion on the chain.
[2:11:55] The zoning changes.
[2:12:05] Okay.
[2:12:05] Is there a motion on the zoning changes.
[2:12:10] Motion to approve the zoning changes.
[2:12:12] Second.
[2:12:17] And just to clarify that also is with the updated map.
[2:12:21] Yes.

[2:13:21] Mister chair can we take a small break break
[2:18:59] Back at it, we're going to go back to the top of the agenda,
[2:19:07] take it from the top.
[2:19:10] Okay, we're starting.
[2:19:15] Trying to run a meeting, Mr. Porosov. So, he's trying to be efficient.
[2:19:24] Members, man, and Porosov, just trying to run a meeting, if you don't mind. Thanks.

[2:26:33] severability clause and providing for an effective date.
[2:26:36] Thank you.
[2:26:37] So you might be asking yourself, why are we hearing this again?
[2:26:43] So in the original, if you remember during our original discussion,
[2:26:47] there was some confusion over whether you were making a recommendation to city commission
[2:26:51] or whether or not you were the final acting body.
[2:26:55] In that confusion was because staff in the title said that the planning zoning in appeals board
[2:27:01] was recommending a exception.
[2:27:06] We did not say recommending to city commission.
[2:27:08] We just said recommending an exception.
[2:27:11] And so that is where the confusion came in.
[2:27:14] Out of an abundance of caution,
[2:27:18] we felt that the correct thing was to do is to recent
[2:27:21] the previous resolution and have you issue a new resolution
[2:27:26] with the correct title.
[2:27:27] And so that's why it's back here before you.
[2:27:32] What is in the file is that we have a transcript of those proceedings that have been entered into the record, along with all of the staff material from before,
[2:27:44] as well as the applicant's presentation and the staff's presentation as part of the public record.
[2:27:50] And so what we are asking you to do tonight is to recent the previous resolution,
[2:27:56] except into the record,
[2:28:00] the previous meeting, and the findings from the previous meeting,
[2:28:03] which of course are based on the staff report, which is part of this record as well,
[2:28:09] and then just reaffirm the exception and a new resolution.
[2:28:13] We did also modify one of the conditions and that is because Adams got big eyes and that is and that is that is because
[2:28:23] There was a little bit of confusion in the condition the condition says that properties can be added by warrant and so there's a little bit
[2:28:34] the
[2:28:35] Proper there is a way for as per the code. There is a way for properties to take a different path with a warrant and
[2:28:43] but new, any new properties would have to be,
[2:28:47] would have to actually apply through the exception process.
[2:28:51] And so we just want to clarify that.
[2:28:52] And so we're amending that as well as the associated page 88,
[2:28:57] just to say that properties that can be added will be added
[2:29:02] as per my any 21.
[2:29:04] So it's all encompassing.
[2:29:05] Right.
[2:29:06] That's the only change.
[2:29:08] We want to make sure that that's very clear,
[2:29:10] and there's no confusion there.
[2:29:11] All right, so real quick, two things.
[2:29:14] One, you want us to do two motions
[2:29:16] then one to rescind or one.
[2:29:18] You can do it all in one motion and one motion rescind and adopt.
[2:29:22] And yes, so it would be a motion to rescind the previous exception
[2:29:29] or the previous resolution and then to approve the exception
[2:29:33] for the transit neighborhood station district.
[2:29:37] Thanks.
[2:29:38] OK.
[2:29:40] Anybody from the public like to speak on this, hearing seeing none,
[2:29:47] so many make a motion.
[2:29:49] May I make a motion to approve?
[2:29:51] And resend and approve.
[2:29:55] Right.
[2:29:55] And then just to be clear, so we did modify that.
[2:29:58] With the motion?
[2:29:59] Yes.
[2:30:00] What we do need to modify is the sheet 88 of our master plan, just to make it consistent with the condition that we changed.
[2:30:10] Again, is referring it back to Miami-21, that's all that we're doing.
[2:30:19] You want to hear just with that?
[2:30:22] Add that in there.
[2:30:25] Motion to rescind and approve with the amendment on page 88.
[2:30:32] Yes, that's correct.
[2:30:35] So is there a second?
[2:30:40] Okay, roll, go, please.
[2:30:42] Board member Eduardo J. Fernandez?
[2:30:45] Yes.
[2:30:46] Board member Elon Mets here.
[2:30:48] Board member Lynette Kodouche.

[2:31:41] Thank you.
[2:31:42] Thanks.
[2:31:42] Thank you all very much.
[2:31:44] The decision there is 10 and zero, staff.
[2:31:48] How many other ones?
[2:31:51] 10, 10, zero.
[2:31:53] This is final.
[2:32:09] All right.
[2:32:32] Item number four, file ID, 19690, a resolution of the Miami Planning and Zoning and Appeals Board.
[2:32:38] with attachments approving with conditions and exception
[2:32:41] pursuant to Article 5, Section 5.6.1,
[2:32:46] point J of ordinance number 1, 3, 1, 1, 4,
[2:32:49] the zoning ordinance of the city of Miami, Florida,
[2:32:53] as amended Miami 21 code to allow an increase
[2:32:56] in a maximum lot of 40% square feet for uses
[2:33:00] that serve the neighborhood and two waivers pursuant
[2:33:03] to article 4, table 4 of Miami 21 code.
[2:33:07] A 30% parking reduction for residential uses for a property located within the urban
[2:33:14] central business district and an opportunity zone and to a 30% parking reduction for residential
[2:33:24] visitors use uses for a property located within the urban
[2:33:29] Central Business District and an opportunity to zone a zoning designation of T6-8-L,
[2:33:38] Urban Court Transics Zone, Limited Generally Located at 413-421-431-453-0133.
[2:33:47] Miami Floor the more particularly described with an attach and incorporated exhibit A property
[2:33:52] making findings containing a severability cause and providing for an effective date.
[2:33:58] Thank you.
[2:34:00] My name is Mozi Watson.
[2:34:01] I'm the chief of land development tonight.
[2:34:03] I'm presenting an exception that's going to exceed the maximum
[2:34:06] lot size of 48,000.
[2:34:10] The location of this subject properties are at 413, 421, 431, and 453,
[2:34:21] North West, 3rd Street.
[2:34:23] And as Florence did a great job of explaining,
[2:34:27] the first is an exception.
[2:34:29] First part of the approval is to approve an exception
[2:34:32] for the increase of the lot size,
[2:34:35] and there's two associated waivers.
[2:34:37] One is for a 30% reduction of residential uses,
[2:34:40] and the second waiver is for a 30% reduction
[2:34:44] of residential visitor uses.
[2:34:50] This site is...
[2:34:53] It consists of four lots.
[2:34:56] It's approximate that the proposed development will be 45.
[2:35:00] 5,513 square feet. And it's close to the river downtown.
[2:35:09] The current flume for the project is restricted commercial, and the zoning is T68L. Now, for this
[2:35:18] neighborhood serving use, you have to, I mean, excuse me, for the exception, you have to have a neighborhood
[2:35:23] serving use. And this is a unique project. This neighborhood serving use is preserving the old
[2:35:29] friend Galat House. Some of you may have remembered, but there was an effort, I apologize,
[2:35:35] but there was another building right next to this that burned down maybe about two years ago.
[2:35:41] And so this will be an adaptive reuse project. But for the neighborhood serving use for this project,
[2:35:46] the applicant has committed to preserving this house.
[2:35:57] In addition to that, I expressed before,
[2:35:58] there's two waivers. One is for 30% reduction of the parking for the residential use. So they were
[2:36:05] required to have 213. They're proposing 143 spaces. The second is for 30% reduction of residential
[2:36:13] visitor uses. They were proposing 14. There required 14.2 spaces and they're providing 10.
[2:36:23] And next, I'm just going to provide some renderings of what the development is going to look like
[2:36:28] if it's realized.
[2:36:31] As you can see to the far left is the Galat House
[2:36:35] and the rest in the front, there's townhouses
[2:36:38] in the back is the multi-family building.
[2:36:44] This is from a more like looking ease view
[2:36:47] so you can see how it fits more into the context
[2:36:49] of the neighborhood.
[2:36:53] When staff did their analysis when I did my analysis,
[2:36:56] I found that this exception complied with all of the requirements
[2:37:00] for my May 21, and as well as Article 4, Table 12, which is our design standards, and
[2:37:08] the waivers also are in, um, comply with our standards.
[2:37:15] I mean, we have, um, mostly standard conditions, but one of them that I would like to call
[2:37:22] out to you is that, um, we've really made sure that we codified that they protect the historic
[2:37:29] home since that is enable it serving use, you know, we don't want them to, you know, get the
[2:37:34] approval here and then go on and do something else. So we codified that condition within the analysis.
[2:37:42] I also like to say that you may be questioning, like, why are they allowed to do a 30%
[2:37:48] parking reduction by waiver instead of exception? That's because it's in the urban central business
[2:37:56] as well as the opportunities on, which allows them to go by waiver.
[2:38:04] So with that, that's going to include my report and we are asking that you approve this project with conditions.
[2:38:11] Thank you.
[2:38:12] Thank you.
[2:38:13] Good evening.
[2:38:14] Board members, Carly Cochel, with Berkow, offices at 200 South Biscayne Boulevard.
[2:38:18] Ms. Watson did an excellent job of explaining the project and why we're here before you tonight.
[2:38:24] We are requesting and my screen.
[2:38:28] I'll speak while she's connecting any of it is reconnecting.
[2:38:33] We are requesting an exception to exceed the maximum lot size.
[2:38:38] As Miss Watson mentioned, we are proposing a lot size of 45,513 square feet,
[2:38:45] which is about 5,000 over and I still do
[2:38:52] it.
[2:38:53] And what is particularly interesting about that and the fact that we are preserving
[2:38:57] the Frank Gulot House is that that house is and the area immediately around it is around
[2:39:05] 5,000 square feet. So yes, we are requesting an exception to exceed the maximum
[2:39:10] lot size, but it is also because we are preserving and providing space around the historic
[2:39:18] structure.
[2:39:20] If I can add to that, and that's one of the reasons why we were approving it is because
[2:39:24] the amount that the lot was exceeding is about the same amount as the historic house.
[2:39:30] So it was like really like a swap.
[2:40:27] Do you go ahead and just get started talking or do we?
[2:40:32] Yeah.
[2:41:02] Thank you guys for your patience. We are up and running. So, with me this evening, are the applicant team,
[2:41:11] which is with us tonight. It's Ithalobalbi, Ashley Bosch, and justly, oddly, on behalf
[2:41:17] of Bricka C.B. Development, the applicant, in this case, and the owner of the properties, as mentioned by staff,
[2:41:22] Our architect, which is Jennifer McConey, and Ivan Vinath, with MCG architecture and our landscape architect team.
[2:41:36] As staff mentioned, the property is just west of downtown.
[2:41:40] It is north of the Loomis Park, not the Miami Beach Loomis Park.
[2:41:45] This is the Loomis Park that is just south of North West Third Street.
[2:41:50] And it is included within the his Lumis Park Historic District.
[2:41:56] Its zoning as staff mentioned is T68, which specifically contemplates buildings, residential
[2:42:02] buildings within that are between eight and 12 stories in height.
[2:42:08] And this property is squarely within that, within that, those parameters as well as within
[2:42:15] the Lumis Park Historic District.
[2:42:16] As you're driving down the street, the thing that is most iconic about this area is the Scottish
[2:42:22] right temple, which is a historically designated structure, and this would be immediately
[2:42:28] to its east.
[2:42:30] We've worked with staff as to the design to really make sure that we pay tribute to the historic
[2:42:37] context, specifically the Scottish right, and provide a lot of design considerations for the
[2:42:44] the roadway that abuts the property.
[2:42:47] Staff mentioned the structures that used to exist on the property.
[2:42:52] And they have all been demolished by various forms of neglect and or arson.
[2:43:00] The requests that are to exceed the maximum lot size and the 30% parking reductions.
[2:43:06] And as staff mentioned, the reason that we get to request to exceed the maximum lot size
[2:43:13] is where we demonstrate that we are providing a neighborhood serving use.
[2:43:19] And here as staff mentioned, the neighborhood serving use is really the preservation of and restoration
[2:43:24] of the historic structure on the property, which when you look at the property and the space
[2:43:30] that's around it is around 5,000 square feet.
[2:43:33] And then the creation of the historically compatible design that is going to be implemented on the site,
[2:43:41] as well as an activated street scape that is really thoughtfully implemented and
[2:43:48] especially what you'll notice and what Jennifer walk you through is just how much thought
[2:43:53] Jennifer's design team and the ownership team put into the relationship of this structure
[2:43:59] with the street, how the tower is significantly set back from the street and also set back
[2:44:08] from the properties to the north.
[2:44:10] That's really important to consider,
[2:44:13] as well as the interaction of that lower podium area,
[2:44:19] which is specifically lower than what Miami 21 typically permits.
[2:44:24] These townhouses that staff mentioned
[2:44:27] are approximately threeish stories in heights,
[2:44:31] and that's really important to consider
[2:44:33] when Miami 21 standard legislation permits
[2:44:36] a podium of 125 feet in height. And with that, we're happy to walk you through the design
[2:44:43] Jennifer is happy to do that and we're happy to jump into any questions that you may have.
[2:44:49] Thank
[2:44:52] you. Chair, I'm sorry. Do we have permission to go ahead and close public comments?
[2:44:56] Yes, please close public comments.
[2:45:01] Good evening, gentlemen from a on-a-vis studio MCG architecture in Miami, Florida.
[2:45:07] Our approach while designing Rio Vista was to respect the historic character of the site, while creating a project that's compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and contributes positively to the loomest park historic district.
[2:45:19] We're preserving and restoring the historic Frank de la Lotte House and integrating into the overall design of the project.
[2:45:25] We will see the preservation of this historic structure as an important opportunity to maintain a piece of the site's history while giving an a meaningful role within the development.
[2:45:36] The project also provides 142 residential units within a transit oriented development area, adding housing and allocation that's well served by public transportation.
[2:45:47] At the same time, we've designed the project to respect the existing scale and massing of the surrounding neighborhood.
[2:45:52] So, while we're requesting the exception for an increase in permitted law size, we believe
[2:45:57] the project provides meaningful neighborhood benefits in return through historic preservation,
[2:46:03] additional housing, landscaping, tree preservation, and a strong pedestrian experience along
[2:46:08] Loom is Park.
[2:46:13] Facing third street along the park front edge, we have a variety of uses and building elements,
[2:46:18] including the residential lobby, the six town homes, and the historic frink a lot of house.
[2:46:24] At the top of the page, you can see the proposed ground floor street facade and plan what you compare it to the historic street facade below.
[2:46:33] You can see how the proposed design is intentionally broken down into a similar rhythm and scale.
[2:46:38] So while the project is contemporary, the design of the pedestal is very much informed by the historic character that is traditionally defined this portion of limous park.
[2:46:58] It doesn't want to change pages.
[2:47:15] There we go.
[2:47:18] There's also vehicular entrances along third street because this is our only front edge.
[2:47:23] But they're purposely set back about 40 feet from the property line, so to minimize their presence along the street
[2:47:31] and to maintain a stronger pedestrian character.
[2:47:37] Here you can see how the town homes are positioned directly along the street front edge.
[2:47:41] Rather than having a larger building mass directly defined the park front edge,
[2:47:45] The town homes and lobby create a more intimate residential scale along the sidewalk.
[2:47:55] One element that we've created in the design is this courtyard which is similarly located to the courtyard that was at the temple court apartments.
[2:48:04] The step back and the building frontage creates an opportunity for additional landscaping and allows us to retain these mature trees.
[2:48:12] More importantly, it creates a variation along the sidewalk and more interesting pedestrian experience.
[2:48:17] Instead of one continuous building wall, you have a series of spaces, landscaping, and building
[2:48:23] forms that create a stronger connection between the project and the street.
[2:48:30] Because this site historically did not have parking on it, it was very important to us
[2:48:35] that the parking were providing not the common dominant element of the project.
[2:48:39] We intentionally place the parking behind active uses so that's largely hidden from the street.
[2:48:45] As you can see from the image, the parking is screened from third street by the town homes
[2:48:49] and the historic house. This allows the park-frontage to maintain a residential and pedestrian
[2:48:54] or anti-character rather than being defined by a parking structure or garage. We also paid
[2:48:59] close attention to the scale of the building at the rear of the site. On that side, the parking
[2:49:04] structure is only approximately two and a half stories in height. We intentionally kept this portion
[2:49:10] of the structure smaller so that it relates more closely to the existing three and four story
[2:49:15] buildings at the rear of the property.
[2:49:17] The parking waivers that we're requesting are allowing us
[2:49:20] to keep the scale of the pedestal and harmony
[2:49:22] with the scale of the neighboring buildings.
[2:49:28] In this image, you can see how the project relates
[2:49:30] to this rounding neighborhood.
[2:49:31] We've stepped the facade similar
[2:49:33] to the Scottish right temple next door,
[2:49:35] and our tower relates and heights
[2:49:36] to other towers located close by.
[2:49:39] Although the code allows us to build up to 12 stories,
[2:49:41] we've intentionally limited the project to 10.
[2:49:44] We've also chosen not to develop to the maximum number
[2:49:47] residential units at the code would allow.
[2:49:50] Ultimately, we believe the project will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood when
[2:49:53] that provides you housing while respecting the history, scale, landscape, and pedestrian
[2:49:58] character of Limis Park.
[2:50:00] Thank you. Thank you. Okay. You guys good?
[2:50:05] More? No? Great. Okay. The board? Oh, I'm sorry. Can you be familiar with what I want to speak to this? Okay.
[2:50:12] Board. Bravo. Excellent. This is exactly. Perfect.
[2:50:21] Just curious, the necessity for reducing the 30% parking.
[2:50:28] So the image, this image is really the best one that to look at, or that, as I mentioned,
[2:50:36] a podium under Miami 21 is permitted to be 125 feet or about 898 stories in height by requesting
[2:50:44] the parking reduction, we're able to reduce the number of parking spaces that need to be
[2:50:49] provided on site and use that reduction of in parking to create a smaller podium.
[2:50:54] So, the parking reduction helps us create this very
[2:50:58] manageable sized podium, which is a benefit to the overall
[2:51:03] structure and the neighborhood.
[2:51:04] This rounding neighborhood.
[2:51:05] Thank you.
[2:51:09] Little bit Collins.
[2:51:14] Anything?
[2:51:18] Anyone?
[2:51:18] Anybody want to make a motion to approve?
[2:51:21] Great.
[2:51:21] Second?
[2:51:24] I'm sorry, who first and second?
[2:51:26] Bailey and man.
[2:51:32] Board member, Mario Bailey?
[2:51:33] Yes.
[2:51:33] Board member Paul Mayn.
[2:51:37] Board member Lynette Kodolch.
[2:51:40] Board member Ilon Mitzir.
[2:51:43] Board member Mr. Eduardo J. Fernandez.
[2:51:46] Yes. Board member Joshua Pansiken.
[2:51:49] Board member Chris Collins.
[2:51:52] Yes. Board member Arthur Parasol.
[2:51:54] Vice chair, Andres Arlopez.
[2:51:57] Yes. Chair Adam Girstin.
[2:51:59] Yes. Motion passes 10 to 0.
[2:52:02] and this decision is final unless the division of hearing boards receives an appeal within 10 days.
[2:52:07] Thank you.
[2:52:08] Thank you.
[2:52:09] 15 days.
[2:52:11] Next up.
[2:52:22] Item number five, file ID 1687, a resolution of the Miami planning zoning and appeals board.
[2:52:29] With attachments recommending approval, with conditions to the city commission.
[2:52:33] for students at chapter 55, section 55, that's 15 of the code of my city of Miami
[2:52:39] Florida as amended to vacate the clothes, a 25-foot wide public alley that runs north
[2:52:45] between two exiting private properties at 401 southwest,
[2:52:51] 6th Street and 3965 Southwest, 6th Street, and terminating at 4,000 Southwest, 5th
[2:52:58] Paris, Miami, Florida as more particularly the squad and the attach and incorporated exhibit
[2:53:04] A. Alley making findings containing a severability cause and providing for an effective
[2:53:09] date.
[2:53:13] Good evening again, Moosey Watson. We here to present a vacation closure of a 25-foot
[2:53:20] Alley, her pursuant to chapter 55, section 55-15C.
[2:53:32] Currently, the area that we're requesting to be vacated is 26,646,646,000 square feet.
[2:53:41] It is bounded by 3965 southwest six street to the east.
[2:53:50] 44,000 Southwest's fifth terrace to the north,
[2:53:54] 41,000 Southwest's sixth street to the west,
[2:53:58] and to the south, the Southwest's sixth street.
[2:54:02] You'll be able to see it better in the next image.
[2:54:06] The future land use for this
[2:54:15] is restrictive commercial.
[2:54:20] I'm sorry, a single family residential,
[2:54:23] and the zoning is T3R.
[2:54:27] So, the thing of the reason why the applicant is requesting this vacation closure is really
[2:54:33] for safety issues.
[2:54:35] It's a dead end alley and currently they're experiencing like unwanted parking and things
[2:54:40] that nature in their neighborhood and so they're requesting that the street be vacated.
[2:54:46] The street will be remitted back to both of the adjacent property owners on the side.
[2:54:51] The flat was approved in September 5, the 2024 and the letters to confirm that was given on September 4, 2020.
[2:55:00] 25. Here's some pictures to give you some context of what it looks like, what the, the vacation, what the alleys, excuse me, looks like, unimproved.
[2:55:13] So in this analysis we found that the vacation closure complies with all of the requirements needed to recommend this is board.
[2:55:23] And these are also standard conditions.

[3:00:00] Thank you. My name is Luis Lam. I'm the part planner for the city of Miami. Good evening, everyone. I will present to be presenting a reason and a flume amendment to provide a new park for the city. These are items number 6 and number 7.
[3:00:16] So the purpose is to reason the property from T3R to CS to the expense and to change the future land use map from single family residential to public parks and recreation.
[3:00:30] Staff recommends approval.
[3:00:31] This is a city project located in District 4.
[3:00:35] The address is 2293 Southwest 17th Terrace.
[3:00:42] The site is approximately 0.23 acres or 10,000 square feet.
[3:00:47] It's in the Shenandoah neighborhood.
[3:00:49] As mentioned in Commission District 4,
[3:00:52] the surrounding area consistently of single family and duplex residential use.
[3:00:57] And as mentioned before, the aim is to provide a new park.
[3:01:01] Here's the existing zoning on the left, T3R, and the proposed zoning on the right of
[3:01:08] Civic Space, and existing future land use of single family and the proposed public park.
[3:01:21] The reason is in compliance with the criteria, with the three criteria, from Miami 21,
[3:01:30] And the future land use amendment criteria is also in compliance with Miami Comprehensive
[3:01:38] Neighborhood Plan.
[3:01:41] As mentioned before, staff recommends approval of the Reson and the future land use amendment.
[3:01:50] Again, it goes into detail if you'd like, but this is basically just showing the allowed
[3:01:54] uses in the civic space as opposed to T3R, notably recreational facility and community facility
[3:02:03] will be allowed by it right as it sits space.
[3:02:09] Parks do not have any dwelling units, so we'll go
[3:02:12] down to zero as opposed to nine dwelling units for acre and the existing zoning.
[3:02:21] And similarly
[3:02:22] in the single family residential under the flume, it goes from nine dwelling units to zero
[3:02:28] and it will allow park uses with a maximum lot coverage of 25 percent.
[3:02:35] Thank you.
[3:02:37] Thank you.
[3:02:39] There's no one in the public.
[3:02:41] So we have an email.
[3:02:45] It's just here as a 25% lot coverage.
[3:02:49] Is that for any building that you might want to put on it?
[3:02:51] And it's that's a specific space maximum lot coverage.
[3:02:59] It's going to be 100% park except for up to 25% building use.
[3:03:04] Right.
[3:03:04] have a facility.
[3:03:05] If you were to put a building, the maximum would be.
