HEADER
Date:

To: Honorable Chairwoman Rebeca Sosa
and Members, Board of County Commissioners

From: Carlos A. Gimenez
Mayor

Subject: Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amending the Palmer Lake Metropolitan Urban Center Zoning District

This substitute ordinance differs from the original in that it corrects a scrivener�s error on the Sub-Districts Plan map that inadvertently re-designated certain parcels within the Core sub-district. This substitute corrects the error and the remainder of the ordinance is unchanged.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached ordinance amending the Palmer Lake Metropolitan Urban Center zoning district.

Scope
The proposed ordinance impacts the unincorporated area around Palmer Lake in Commission Districts 5 and 6.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The proposed ordinance creates no fiscal impact on Miami-Dade County.

Track Record/Monitor
Eric Silva, Assistant Director of Development Services in the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, will be responsible for implementation of the proposed ordinance.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
The proposed ordinance amends the Palmer Lake Metropolitan Urban Center (PLMUC) zoning district to modify development limitations on certain properties adjoining Palmer Lake. On October 2, 2013 the Board of County Commissioners adopted amendments to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) based on recommendations made in the 2010 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR); among these amendments was a change to a map in the Port of Miami River Sub-Element designating certain areas in the vicinity of the Miami River for water-dependent uses. This map was amended to remove this designation for properties adjoining Palmer Lake due mainly to the inability of marine vessels to access the lake. The amendments in this ordinance will make the PLMUC district standards consistent with the above-mentioned changes to the CDMP and permit development on properties adjoining Palmer Lake as would otherwise be allowed elsewhere in the PLMUC
Center Sub-District.
