Ordinances - R5 M

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

10:10 a.m. Second Reading Public Hearing

RECOMMENDATION

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) adopt the ordinance.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

On March 13, 2024, at the request of Commissioner Alex Fernandez, the City Commission referred a proposal to modify the future land use classification of Pride Park (C4 M) to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC). On May 1, 2024, the item was deferred to a future LUSC date, with no discussion.

On September 5, 2024, the LUSC discussed the proposal and recommended that the City Commission refer an ordinance to the Planning Board. On October 30, 2024, at the request of Commissioner Alex Fernandez, the City Commission referred the ordinance to the Planning Board (C4 K).

ANALYSIS

Pride Park is currently classified as Public Facilities - Convention Center Facilities (PF-CCC) on the City’s Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The purpose of this designation is to provide development opportunities for facilities necessary to support the convention center.

Although open space, the area of Pride Park has a zoning classification of Civic and Convention

Center (CCC), which allows the land area to be utilized for purposes of establishing a larger unified site that includes City Hall, the Convention Center and the future convention hotel, the Holocaust Memorial and the Botanical Gardens. The benefits of having a larger overall site include the potential future expansion of the convention center, as well as the ability to meet minimum off-street parking requirements within the public garages on the larger site. For example, as a single development site, the minimum parking requirement for adjacent facilities may be satisfied within those garages and parking facilities located in the CCC district, due to inclusion within the larger unified site.

As proposed, the attached ordinance creates a new future land use category of “Recreation and Open Space - Civic and Convention Center (ROS-CCC),” which would be specific to Pride Park. This new category would be similar to the Recreation and Open Space (ROS) FLUM category, and require that Pride Park remain as open, park space. It would also be consistent with the underlying zoning designation of CCC, and allow for a continued, unified site.

The existing Public Facility: Convention Center Facilities (PF-CCC) future land use designation provides for the following:

POLICY 1.1.18.a PUBLIC FACILITY: CONVENTION CENTER FACILITIES (PF-CCC)

Purpose: To provide development opportunities for existing convention center and facilities necessary to support the convention center.

Uses which may be permitted: Convention facilities.

Intensity Limits: Intensity may be limited by such set back, height, floor area ratio and/or other restrictions as the City Commission acting in a legislative capacity determines can effectuate the purpose of this land use category and otherwise implement complementary public policy. However, in no case shall the intensity exceed a floor area ratio of 2.75 .

The proposed Recreation and Open Space – Civic and Convention Center (ROS-CCC) future land use designation provides for the following:

POLICY 1.1.18.b RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE - CIVIC AND CONVENTION CENTER (ROS-CCC) Purpose: To provide development opportunities for existing and new recreation and open space facilities to support the convention center.

Uses which may be permitted: Recreation and open space facilities, and temporary uses related to events at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Intensity Limits: Intensity may be limited by such set back, height, floor area ratio and/or other restrictions as the City Commission acting in a legislative capacity determines can effectuate the purpose of this land use category and otherwise implement complementary public policy. However, in no case shall the intensity exceed a floor area ratio of 2.75. The allowable intensity from any parcel designated ROS-CCC can be utilized in any parcel designated PF-CCC.

In addition to this text change, the FLUM is proposed to be amended by re-designating Pride Park from the current PF-CCC to ROS-CCC. Attached, for reference, are maps illustrating the current and proposed future land use designations.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REVIEW PROCESS The total land area involved in this application is approximately 5.74 acres (250,034 SF), not including portions within a right-of-way. Under Section 163.3187 F.S., land use map amendments of less than 10 acres in size may be considered “small-scale” amendments, which require only one public hearing before the City Commission, which shall be an adoption hearing. Upon adoption, the local government shall send a copy of the adopted small-scale amendment to the

State Land Planning Agency so that the Agency can maintain a complete and up-to-date copy of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.

PLANNING BOARD REVIEW On January 7, 2025, the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the proposed ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation (7-0).

UPDATE The subject ordinance was approved at First Reading on February 26, 2025, with no changes.
