And Members, Board of County Commissioners

Mayor

Subject: Ordinance Acting upon the October 2012 Cycle of Applications to Amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (Standard Applications)
This substitute ordinance differs from the original in that it revises the preamble of the original ordinance to reflect the actions taken by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) at its �transmittal� public hearing held on May 22, 2013, and acknowledges correspondence received from the State Land Planning Agency and other reviewing agencies issued between June 27, 2013 and July 12, 2013. This substitute ordinance addresses the disposition of pending regular Application Nos. 2, 4 and 5 filed in the October 2012 Cycle of Applications to Amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP).

..Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) take action on the attached ordinance (Substitute Special Item No. 1), which provides for the Board to adopt, adopt with change or deny the October 2012 Cycle Applications to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP).

It is recommended that final action be taken on this substitute ordinance for the referenced CDMP amendment applications at the conclusion of the public hearing scheduled for October 2013. This ordinance follows the same format used in previous CDMP amendment cycles, That is, it contains blank spaces to record Board actions on the requests contained in the referenced CDMP amendment applications.

Scope

The CDMP is a broad-based countywide policy-planning document created to guide future growth and development, to ensure the adequate provision of public facilities and services for existing and future populations in Miami-Dade County, and to maintain or improve the quality of the natural and man-made environment in the County. While the adopted text of the CDMP generally applies countywide, some text amendment applications and individual, site-specific Land Use Plan map amendment applications may have localized impact on one or more Commission Districts; such as Application No. 1, which is located within Commissioner Monestime�s District 2, and Application Nos. 2 and 3, which are located within Commissioner Moss� District 9. Application Nos. 4 and 5 are CDMP text amendments that apply countywide.


Fiscal Impact

Fiscal impact means the cost to the County of implementing the activities or actions that would be incurred after approval of the ordinance. Ordinance No. 94-238 requires a statement of fiscal impact on all activities and actions resulting from approval of an ordinance. In addition, Ordinance No. 01-163 requires the review procedures for amendments to the CDMP to include, for any proposed land use change, a written evaluation of the estimated incremental and cumulative impact to Miami-Dade County for bringing such public infrastructure to the area, as well as, annual operating costs. Also, in accordance with Resolution No. 530-10, County departments are required to include detailed financial costs and budgetary impact analysis for items that have a fiscal impact to the County. Information on the fiscal impacts from the referenced small-scale CDMP amendment applications are contained in the document titled, �Initial Recommendations October 2012 Applications To Amend The Comprehensive Development Master Plan,� dated February 25, 2013.

Fiscal impacts from approved CDMP Land Use Plan map amendment applications vary depending on the type of request and location. For example, proposals involving non-residential developments have less impact on public infrastructure and services than proposals involving residential developments. According to Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, for Application No. 1, if approved and the application site developed with 93 multi-family units (maximum residential development allowed under the requested CDMP land use designation of �Business and Office�), the annual operating and maintenance costs for water and sewer service are estimated at $16,563. However, if the application site were developed with 37,635 square feet of retail uses, the annual operating and maintenance costs for water and sewer service are estimated at $4,468. For Application No. 2, if approved and the sited developed with the maximum 215 multi-family residential units, the annual operating and maintenance costs for water and sewer service are estimated at $38,291. For Application No. 3, if approved and the sited developed with the maximum 178 multi-family residential units, the annual operating and maintenance costs for water and sewer service are estimated at $31,701.

Application Nos. 4 and 5 are standard text amendment requests to the Land Use Element and Aviation Subelement of the CDMP and, therefore, do not impose a fiscal impact to the County.

Housing Impact

The applications to amend the adopted 2015 and 2025 Land Use Plan (LUP) map of the CDMP have the potential to reduce or increase the county�s housing supply, based upon the current CDMP land use designation of the application site, the requested CDMP land use designation and voluntary restrictions on residential density. If the Land Use Plan map amendment applications were approved, the County�s supply of multi-family housing could be increased by a total of 367 dwelling units. If Application No. 1 were approved as requested for Business and Office uses but instead developed for residential uses, the supply of housing in the County could be increased by a net 45 dwelling units. If Application No. 2 were approved, the supply of housing in the County could be increased by 215 dwelling units. If Application No. 3 were approved, the County�s supply of housing could be increased by a net 107 dwelling units. No housing impacts are expected from the text amendment applications if Application Nos. 4 and 5 were approved.

Track Record/Monitor

Amendments to the CDMP do not involve contracts so a Track Record/Monitor is not applicable.

BODY

The attached ordinance (Substitute Special Item No. 1) provides for final action on pending October 2012 Cycle Application Nos. 2, 4 and 5. The County transmitted the referenced CDMP amendment applications to the State Land Planning Agency and other state and regional agencies (reviewing agencies) for review and comment by letter dated June 7, 2013. The Board�s previous actions at the May 22, 2013 public hearing were for Application No. 2 to �deny as small-scale and transmit as standard amendment�, for Application No. 4 to �transmit with changes and adopt as recommend by staff�, and for Application No. 5 to �transmit with changes and adopt as recommended by staff�.

Final Recommendations

The final recommendations of the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources and of the Planning Advisory Board on the pending April 2012 Cycle CDMP Application Nos. 2, 4 and 5 are contained in the Summary of Recommendations matrix attached. Additionally, the final recommendation of the Planning Advisory Board are also included in the attached resolution and minutes of the Planning advisory Board�s April 15, 2012 public meeting on the referenced applications.
