Staff Summary:
Background
The subject property is located immediately adjacent to the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike
(HEFT) south of NW 215th Street, east of NW 47th avenue and west of Vista Verde. The site is comprised
LPA AGENDA ITEM 4-1
3 OF 25
Turnpike Distribution Center – Request to amend Future Land Use Map from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce”
PZ-2016-001610
of approximately 83 acres and is currently designated “Neighborhood” on the Future Land Use Map
which permits the development of residential uses, suburban commercial and office, and mixed-use.
Current Situation
The Applicant, Augusto Maxwell of Akerman, LLP on behalf of Manheim Remarketing, Inc. is seeking to
amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation to “Commerce” in order to facilitate the phased
development of a 1.15 million square feet logistics center. In combination with the adjacent lot to the
West which is already designated as “Commerce” on the FLUM, the proposed development would consist
of approximately 2.3 million square feet of new warehouse distribution space within the City.
Per the Future Land Use Element of the City’s Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP), urban
industrial uses are only permitted within the “Commerce” land use category. In order to construct the
proposed development the FLUM must be amended to reflect the “Commerce” designation where the
“Neighborhood” designation currently exists.
Analysis

Development Master Plan (CMDP), and satisfies the criteria for granting of amendments or adoption of
changes to the text of the LDRs or change of the actual official zoning map designation of a parcel or
parcels.
Proposed Action:
The Local Planning Agency adopt this Resolution recommending the City Council amend the Future Land
Use Map designation from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce” on the subject property located on the
south side of NW 215th Street, east of NW 47th Avenue, west of Vista Verde.

Future Land Use Map Amendment from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce”
Project Summary/Background
The subject property is currently vacant and has a future land use designation of “Neighborhood”.
The surrounding property to the south and east also have a future land use of “Neighborhood”
and consists of single and multi-family residential development, along with an antennae site
zoned as an agricultural use. The surrounding properties to the west have future land use
designations of “Commerce”. The property to the west is a closed landfill, which despite its
Commerce land use designation and industrial zoning classification has never stimulated
industrial development.
Despite having a “Neighborhood” future land use the subject property has never stimulated
residential development. This is in large part due to its location immediately adjacent to a
closed landfill and in close proximity to an active landfill on the West side of NW 47th Avenue,
which is a hurdle for residential development. In 1972 a subdivision plat for a single-family
neighborhood was approved for a portion of the subject property but never built. In 1992 a site
plan for a single-family neighborhood was approved for the subject property but never built.
The applicant seeks to develop a light industrial warehouse project on the site. The existing
“Neighborhood” future land use designation does not permit commercial development such as
light industrial warehouses. An amendment to “Commerce” on the future land use map is
being requested to in order to provide for the use of the land as an industrial warehouse
project.
Consistency with City of Miami Gardens Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP)
The subject parcel is designated “Neighborhood” on the Land Use Map of the Future Land Use
Element of the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). As outlined in Objective 1.2
of the CDMP, the Neighborhood land use designation applies to areas intended for low and
medium density residential development with supporting commercial and office uses.
Some of the major premises of the Future Land Use Element consistent with the proposed
amendment from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce” are as follows:
• Encourage infill development and redevelopment within the existing urban service area
and with already available facilities and services.
• Complete the development of greenfields.
• Redevelop major commercial corridors with higher intensity and density.
• Accommodate new growth
Objective 1.3 of the Future Land Use Element provides that the Commerce designation is
intended for planned urban commercial, urban industrial, urban cultural and economic hubs.
The proposed use as a light industrial warehouse would be consistent with the Commerce
designation.
17 OF 25
PZ-2016-001610
Turnpike Distribution Center
Future Land Use Map Amendment from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce”
Policy 1.3.1 of the Future Land Use Element provides that Commerce areas shall provide for a
wide variety of uses that range from major educational institutions, civic and governmental
centers to major retail services as well as single purpose industrial areas. The proposed light
industrial warehouse project would serve as a single purpose industrial area on land that has
proven to be unsuitable for the existing Neighborhood land use designation. The subject
property is also unsuitable for other types of non-residential uses allowed in the Commerce
designation such as mixed-use and major retail services.
Policy 1.3.3 of the Future Land Use Element provides that within the context of the future land
use plan element, Urban Industrial generally means manufacturing, wholesale and storage
activities. The proposed project would provide Class A high cube warehouse space for storage
activities.
Policy 1.3.6 of the Future Land Use Element provides that uses that are consistent with the
Commerce land use category include mixed use developments such as Urban Center, Urban
Core and Golden Glades-Palmetto Area, single use developments including Urban Commercial
and Office, Urban Industrial, residential development including Medium Density Residential,
Medium-High Density Residential, High Density Residential, and Very High Density Residential
plus Public and Semi-Public uses. The proposed project would be considered an Urban
Industrial use consistent with the allowable uses of the Commerce land use designation.
Policy 2.1.3 of the Future Land Use Element indicates that performance standards for non-
residential single use development uses shall be established as follows:
• Urban Industrial.
o Purpose. Urban Industrial is designed to accommodate industrial, manufacturing
and storage activities located primarily in Commerce areas.
Staff comment: The proposed project would provide Class A high cube warehouse
space for storage activities.
o Uses. Typical uses in this category include manufacturing, wholesale storage, and
other similar non-residential uses consistent with applicable land development
regulations.
Staff comment: The proposed project would provide Class A high cube warehouse
space for storage activities.
o Floor Area Ratio (Intensity). 0.5 maximum.
18 OF 25
PZ-2016-001610
Turnpike Distribution Center
Future Land Use Map Amendment from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce”
Staff Comment: The proposed development will have a total floor area ratio of
approximately 0.31.
o Building Height. Up to an average height of four (4) stories.
Staff Comment: The proposed project will be one-story tall with a height of
approximately 45 feet.
o Access. Public streets within Commerce areas.
Staff Comment: Access to the subject property is from NW 215 Street and a
proposed new public road on the west side of the subject property.
Objective 1.1 of the Transportation Element is to provide a safe, convenient, accessible and
efficient transportation system with a Level-of-Service that sustains the City’s social, aesthetic,
economic, and natural resources. The request to change the future land use designation of the
property from Neighborhood to Commerce in order to allow the proposed project will reduce
the amount traffic that could be generated from the property.
Conclusion: The request to amend the future land use designation of the subject property from
Neighborhood to Commerce in order to utilize the subject property for a light industrial
warehouse is generally consistent with the policies of the City’s Comprehensive Development
Master Plan.
Anticipated Facilities Impact
General: Concurrency determinations are not finalized during the land use amendment process;
one or more concurrency determinations will subsequently be required.
Public Water and Wastewater Disposal: Central water and sewer is available to this site, and
connection shall be required. Also, under the current Neighborhood land use designation and R-1
zoning and using the County's standard usage rates, a 535-home single-family neighborhood would
generate a demand of approximately 117,000 gallons per day of potable water and wastewater
whereas the proposed project will generate a demand of approximately 11,500 gallons per day.
Drainage/Water Management: All stormwater runoff must be retained on site utilizing a properly
designed system.
Traffic Circulation: A comparison of the traffic impacts between the maximum potential
development under the current Neighborhood land use designation and R-1 zoning and the
maximum potential development under the proposed Commerce land use designation and I-1
19 OF 25
PZ-2016-001610
Turnpike Distribution Center
Future Land Use Map Amendment from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce”
industrial zoning shows that under the Commerce land use designation and I-1 industrial zoning less
PM peak hour trips would be generated.
A comparison of the traffic impacts between the maximum potential development under the
current Neighborhood land use designation and R-1 zoning and the proposed project shows that
trip generation would be down across the board for daily trips (61% less), AM peak hour trips (65%
less) and PM peak hour trips (71% less).
A detailed Traffic Analysis will be submitted and reviewed at the time of Site Plan submission to
determine the impacts on the Level of Service of roadways in the area.
Education: Changing the future land use designation of the subject property from Neighborhood to
Commerce will lessen the burden on local schools.
Future Land Use Map Amendment Review and Analysis
The City Code does not have specific criteria for analyzing an application to amend the future
land use map. Therefore, staff has used the criteria for rezoning applications set forth in Section
34-49(f) of the City’s Land Development Regulations and the criteria for special exception
applications set forth in Section 34-48(g) of the Land Development Regulations.
Rezoning Criteria
(f) Criteria for granting of amendments or adoption of changes to the text of the LDRs, or
change of the actual official zoning map designation of a parcel or parcels. The detriments or
benefits of amendments or adoption of changes to the text of the LDRs, or change of the official
zoning map designation of a parcel or parcels shall not be denied consideration on the grounds
that they are indirect, intangible or not readily quantifiable. In evaluating the application,
among other factors related to the general welfare, the following shall be considered:
(1) The development permitted by the application, if granted, conforms to the city's
comprehensive development master plan; is consistent with applicable area or
neighborhood studies or plans, and would serve a public benefit warranting the granting
of the application at the time it is considered;
(2) The development permitted by the application, if granted, will have a favorable or
unfavorable impact on the environmental and natural resources of the city, including
consideration of the means and estimated cost necessary to minimize the adverse
impacts; the extent to which alternatives to alleviate adverse impacts may have a
substantial impact on the natural and human environment; and whether any irreversible
or irretrievable commitment of natural resources will occur;
(3) The development permitted by the application, if granted, will have a favorable or
unfavorable impact on the economy of the city;
20 OF 25
PZ-2016-001610
Turnpike Distribution Center
Future Land Use Map Amendment from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce”
(4) The development permitted by the application, if granted, will efficiently use or unduly
burden water, sewer, solid waste disposal, recreation, education or other necessary
public facilities which have been constructed or planned and budgeted for construction;
(5) The development permitted by the application, if granted, will efficiently use or unduly
burden or affect public transportation facilities, including mass transit, roads, streets and
highways which have been constructed or planned and budgeted for construction, and if
the development is or will be accessible by public or private roads, streets or highways.
Findings of the request pursuant to the criteria set forth above are as follows:
1. The future land use map amendment request is generally consistent with the
policies, goals and objectives of the CDMP. The proposed project would serve a
public benefit vis-à-vis the high number of jobs created (approximately 2,140 direct
and indirect permanent jobs).
2. The site was previously disturbed and used as a landfill and does not contain any
natural resources. As such, the future land use map amendment will not affect
natural resources in the City and does not impact negatively the stability and
character of the area.
3. The future land use map amendment of this property will allow the Applicant to
build a Class A high cube warehouse project. The proposed project is expected to
create approximately 2,140 direct and indirect permanent jobs and 4.4% more ad
valorem taxes (approximately $632,000 annually) for the City than compared to a
residential development under the current Neighborhood land use designation.
Also, in general, non-residential projects utilize City services less frequently than
residential projects, resulting in a net positive recurring fiscal impact to the City.
Finally, the proposed project is expected to generate more impact fees for the City
and County as compared to a residential project.
4. The future land use map amendment will not unduly burden impact water, sewer,
drainage, education or recreational facilities and the development is expected to
place less of a burden on public facilities such as schools, parks, police, fire, water,
sewer and roads than residential development would.
5. The site is accessible by existing roads and the proposed project would dedicate
right-of-way for a new road running north and south along the western edge of the
property. Use of the subject property as the proposed industrial warehouse project
under the Commerce land use designation would generate less traffic than the
amount of residential units that could currently be built under the Neighborhood
future land use designation. Any impacts to transportation facilities, streets or
highways will be assessed via a Traffic Impact Analysis at the time of site plan
approval and mitigated as appropriate in order to safe guard the surrounding
community.
21 OF 25
PZ-2016-001610
Turnpike Distribution Center
Future Land Use Map Amendment from “Neighborhood” to “Commerce”
Conclusion: The proposed change to the future land use classification from Neighborhood to
Commerce is generally consistent with the policies, goals and objectives of the City’s
Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP).
Revitalization and development efforts within the City are to be focused on economic
generators that have the greatest positive impact on the City’s tax base with minimal to no
adverse impacts on adjacent neighborhoods. Changing the future land use designation of the
property from Neighborhood to Commerce enables the property to be utilized for a use that is
more appropriate for the property considering its location adjacent to a closed landfill and an
active landfill.
The proposed use is expected to use less public facilities across the board compared to
residential uses that are permitted under the existing Neighborhood future land use
designation and generate more property taxes and impact fees, resulting in a recurring net
positive fiscal impact to the City. There would also be a significant number of permanent jobs
generated, providing employment opportunities for the local community.
The proposed layout of the site will be such that traffic and noise from the project is to be
contained in-between paired warehouse buildings with vehicular access away from the existing
residential neighborhood. Additionally, a wide landscape buffer area, including a stormwater
retention lake, will be provided along the eastern property line closest to the residential
neighborhood. No noxious fumes are odors are expected to be generated as the project will
focus on warehouse space only.
