If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or provision of this ordinance is held invalid, the remainder of this ordinance shall not be affected by such invalidity. Section 4. It is the intention of this Board of County Commissioners, and is hereby ordained that the provisions of this ordinance shall become and made part of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The section of this ordinance may be renumbered or relettered to accomplish such intention, and the word �ordinance� may be changed to �section,� �article� or other appropriate word. Section 5. This ordinance shall become effective ten (10) days after the date of enactment unless vetoed by the Mayor, and if vetoed, shall become effective only upon an override by this Board. 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. _______________________________ Jack Osterholt Deputy Mayor |
