16600 NW LC Enterprise Corp – Special Exception Child Care Facility PH-2011-000076, December 7, 2011 The property is currently developed with a 1684 square feet residential duplex use
on an 8090 square foot lot. Access to the property is currently off N.W. 167 Street and also on N.W. 166 Street. To the west and south are single family homes, to the east is a vacant
parcel, and to the north is the 826 Palmetto Expressway. Project Summary/Background • The applicant 16600 NW LC Enterprise Corp. is proposing to renovate the existing residential duplex
and improve the property to operate a child care facility for thirty four (34) children up to three (3) years old. • The duplex will be renovated into three (3) classrooms and the property
improved to provide for ingress/egress off N.W. 25 Avenue with adequate drop-off and pick off for parents, staff parking, and landscaping and recreational open space. Zoning History
There have been no relevant zoning actions on the property that impact the proposed special exception use. Consistency with City of Miami Gardens Comprehensive Development Master Plan
The subject parcel is designated Commerce on the adopted 2006-2016 Land Use Plan (LUP) Map of the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) of
the City of Miami Gardens. Objective 1.3 states: “The Commerce designation is intended for planned urban commercial, urban industrial, urban cultural and economic hubs. The Commerce
areas shall include existing and planned activity centers that are primarily located along the City’s three major roadway corridors.” The proposed child care facility is a commercial
activity that is conducted appropriately in the Commerce-designated areas along the major roadway corridors for convenience of access and minimizing impacts on residential areas. In
this case, the use will be located with easy access off N.W. 167 Street a block east from the N.W. 27th Avenue exit off the Palmetto Expressway, both of which are major arterials of
the City. Conclusion: The child care facility use will be consistent with goals and objectives of the CDMP while protecting the public health, safety, and welfare by design and location.
Zoning Review and Analysis The City Council may grant or deny approval of a special exception use request as set forth in Section 34-48(g) of the City’s Zoning and Land Development Code:
16600 NW LC Enterprise Corp – Special Exception Child Care Facility PH-2011-000076, December 7, 2011 (g) Criteria for granting of special exception use approval. To authorize any special
exception use, the zoning appeals board shall find all of the following: (1) The special exception use will be consistent with the city’s comprehensive development master plan; (2) The
special exception use will be in harmony with the general character of the neighborhood considering population density, design, scale and bulk of any proposed new structures, intensity
and character of activity, traffic and parking conditions, and number of similar uses; (3) The special exception use will not be detrimental to the use, peaceful enjoyment, economic
value, or development of surrounding properties or the general neighborhood; and will cause no objectionable noise, vibrations, fumes, odors, dust, glare, electrical interference, or
physical activity; (4) The special exception use will have no detrimental effect on vehicular or pedestrian circulation and flow within the vicinity of the use. The special exception
will not adversely affect the health, safety, security, morals, or general welfare of residents, visitors, or workers in the area; (5) The special exception will not, in conjunction
with existing and proposed development in the area and development permitted under existing zoning, overburden existing public services and facilities, including schools, parks, police
and fire protection, water, sanitary sewer, public roads, stormwater drainage, and other public improvements and services; (6) That the special exception use otherwise meets the definition
standards set forth elsewhere in this chapter for such particular use; and (7) That development, use and operation of the site will be in compliance with all applicable code regulations,
development standards and any additional standards imposed by the city council or zoning appeals board with the intent of protecting adjacent properties and preserving neighborhood character.
After After review of the request for special exception use for a child care facility the following findings can be made: • The proposed child care facility is located with frontage
and access off N.W. 167 Street the feeder road for the Palmetto Expressway which minimizes impact and intrusion of non-residential traffic and congestion to the residential neighborhood
to the south of the property. • The child care facility will not increase the scale or bulk of the existing structure while maintaining the residential character of the neighborhood.
• The child care facility will be in compliance with all code and development standards that will minimize detrimental impacts on the surrounding area and not adversely affect the safety,
security, and general welfare of the surrounding residents. • The location of the property along a major roadway arterial has become undesirable for residential use and the child care
facility will not have a detrimental impact on economic values or impact the development of surrounding properties while not overburdening existing public service facilities.
16600 NW LC Enterprise Corp – Special Exception Child Care Facility PH-2011-000076, December 7, 2011 Conclusion The proposed request for a child care facility meets the criteria set
forth in the Zoning and Land Development Code for granting of the special exception use. Anticipated Facilities Impact General: Concurrency determinations are not finalized during the
zoning approval process. Specific impacts will be determined at building permit review. Public Notification/Comments In accordance with the Land Development Regulations, two (2) notifications
of the applicant’s requests were mailed to property owners within five hundred (500) feet of the subject site to provide them an opportunity to comment on the application. No comments
