The document includes an extensive data, inventory, and analysis of the Village’s facilities (Roads, parks, drainage, etc.) together with goals, objectives, and policies to provide or improve upon such facilities to reach, maintain, and/or exceed LOS standards through 2025. CHAPTER 1. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT GOAL Miami Shores is an established residential community nearing buildout. Future development shall Ensure that the character and location of future land uses provides high economic and quality of life benefits, while preserving and restoring natural resources, residential, character and providing appropriate levels of public services to meet the needs of the Village’s present and future population. Objective 1: Planning for the Village’s Future. Establish land use categories and a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) that provide for compatible and coordinated land uses, that ensure protection of natural resources and the preservation of the residential character of the Village and that coordinate future land uses with topography and soil conditions and the availability of facilities and services. Monitoring and Evaluation: Policy 1.1: The Village is an established primarily single -family residential community that is nearing build out. Therefore, the Village’s Future Land Use designations and FLUM shall describe, assign, and depict land for existing, well -established land uses as well as aspirational future land uses determined to promote and protect the Village’s current predominantly residential character. Policy 1.2: The FLUM shall contain and identify appropriate locations for the following land use categories: Single Family Residential: This land use designation, intended for permanent detached single -family dwellings, is reflected primarily in the Village’s existing neighborhoods of detached single-family homes built on individual platted lots. The residential densities allowed in this designation shall not exceed a maximum of nine (9) dwelling units per gross acre. This density range acknowledges the built environment and the wide variety of lot sizes that has existed historically in Miami Shores, from large estates to small lots. No platted lot shall be reduced in size from that currently platted. This shall not limit the right to build on an existing platted lot, nor does it prevent the combination of smaller lots to make larger ones, or the division of single family residential lots where each resulting lot is not less than 12,500 square feet in area and has a minimum of 85 feet of lot frontage. Multi-family Residential: This land use designation is intended primarily for apartment and condominium developments, but may also include other types of attached units such as duplexes and townhouses. Areas outlined for this land use accommodate multifamily dwellings at a density up to twenty (20) dwelling units per gross acre or single family detached units at a density up to six (6 ) per gross acre except where Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulations related to septic tanks may require a lower density. Floor area ratios may be incorporated in the Zoning Code. Community Residential: This land use designation is intended to accommodate a coordinated integrated and balanced range of residential uses. Single-family detached dwelling units are permitted at a density up to six (6) dwelling units per gross acre. Attached, townhouse and multifamily dwelling units at a density up to thirteen (13) dwelling units per gross acre. Residential uses are permitted at a floor area ratio not greater than 1.0. Restricted Commercial: This land use designation is intended to support light retail, office and services that are compatible with nearby housing. Land uses in the Restricted Commercial designation typically experience relatively low volumes of clients or visitors and have low trip-generation rates. The following criteria shall apply in the Restricted Commercial designation: 1. Maximum intensity: FAR of 1.5. 2. Range of uses: Small-scale business and professional offices, light retail and service establishments. Auto-related, oriented or dependent uses are prohibited. 3. Pedestrian and bicycle connectivity is encouraged between Restricted Commercial and surrounding residential developments. 4. The Zoning Code regulations implementing this category shall require heavy landscaping and screening for parking areas, trash storage and other site characteristics that might impact adjacent residential uses. Further, Restricted Commercial sites shall be developed with adequate parking and vehicular access that does not rely on existing off-street parking and neighborhood streets. General Commercial: This land use designation is intended to support light industrial, commercial, retail, office and/or services. Land uses in the General Commercial designation are intended to sustain a broader and intense nature of uses due to the proximity to major corridors. The following criteria shall apply in the General Commercial designation: 1. Maximum intensity: FAR of 1.5. 2. Range of uses: Medium to high-scale business, professional offices, commercial, retail and service establishments. Auto-related, oriented or dependent uses are permitted. 3. General Commercial areas shall not be allowed adjacent to Single-Family Residential designation. 4. Pedestrian and bicycle connectivity is encouraged between General Commercial and surrounding multi-family residential and restricted commercial developments. 5. The Zoning Code regulations implementing this category shall require heavy landscaping and screening for parking areas, trash storage and other site characteristics that might impact adjacent uses. Further, General Commercial sites shall be developed with adequate parking and vehicular access that does not rely on existing off-street parking and neighborhood streets. Government and Institutions: This land use designation is intended to accommodate a full range of community support facilities, including governmental buildings and facilities, public utility installations, parking, public and private educational, medical, religious, civic, cultural, and similar institutions. The floor area ratio in this land use designation shall not exceed 2.0. Parks and Recreation: This land use designation is intended to accommodate recreation and open space uses that serve public recreation needs, including Village parks and recreational facilities, the Miami Shores Country Club and Golf Course and similar compatible and complimentary uses including food service establishments in conjunction with the previously listed uses. The floor area ratio in this land use designation shall not exceed 1.0. The extent of all incidental uses shall not exceed 15% of the land area of any individual park. In general, any development within this category shall be low intensity in character with a minimum of impervious surface coverage and retain as much natural vegetation and landscape as possible. Water and Conservation Areas: This land use designation is intended to identify areas which may exhibit unique or special environmental characteristics. Public conservation areas are intended solely for preservation and/or recreational use. Parking areas: This land use designation is intended to support adjacent businesses. Policy 1.3: The maximum densities/intensities described above are not guaranteed for all sites within each category. The Village’s Zoning Map Zoning Code, and development approvals may impose more restrictive guidelines f or development based on zoning district and design criteria. Policy 1.4: The Village shall coordinate future land uses and any resulting development or redevelopment with topography and soil conditions and the availability of adequate facilities and services. Policy 1.5: Sufficient land shall be provided in the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for various types of residential development and the community facilities required to adequately meet the housing needs of the present and projected population. Policy 1.6: The Village shall maintain current versions of the Existing and Future Land Use Maps through zoning changes, permitting activity and fieldwork (if necessary), and shall set a schedule for map updates and maintaining updated maps online. Policy 1.7: Future Designation of Areas Annexed from Unincorporated Miami-Dade Land that is annexed from Miami-Dade County shall enter the Village with its current Miami-Dade County future land use and zoning designation. The Miami-Dade County development regulations shall apply until such time as the Village adopts an amendment to this Comprehensive Plan to include the annexed area and adopts an appropriate Village zoning designation for the annexed area. The future land use and zoning designation for areas annexed fr om Miami- Dade County shall be amended to an appropriate Village future land use and zoning designation. The Village may create new future land use or zoning designations for annexed areas where the existing development or potential future development would not be consistent with any existing Village future land use or zoning designation. The Village shall consider the existing Miami-Dade County comprehensive plan and zoning regulations when developing new designations for annexed areas. Policy 1.8: The Village shall regulate all development in accordance with the Future Land Use Map (Map 1.4), including the land uses and the densities and intensities specified thereon and in Policy 1.1, all of which are incorporated by reference into this Policy 1.8.
