(9) Bonus height provisions. If the applicant for a development permit under this
section 31-143(g) proposes to dedicate land to the City for educational, recreational
or cultural municipal purposes, which land is acceptable to the City Commission,
the City Commission may approve a bonus height for any multifamily building not to
exceed a maximum of 11 stories or 135 feet, subject to the provisions hereof.

Where the Commission approves such bonus height, the following standards shall
apply:
i. .'\,£ part of the conditional uso approval, tho City CoFRmmission may approve
architectural de£ign standards other than the Mediterr:mean do£ign features
requirod under Section 31 143(9)(6)3. of the L3nd Developmont Regulations.
For those properties on NE 188 Street in the RMF3A district and for all
properties within the RMF3B district, Section 31-143(e)(5) and Section 31-
143(g)(6) of the City Code require Mediterranean design features, including
barrel tile roofs, architectural projections such as awnings, columns,
balconies and canopies, changes in massing of the façade and roofline and
light earth tone exterior color. Section 31-143(g)(9)i. of the City Code
provides that the City Commission may approve, as a conditional use,
architectural styles other than Mediterranean design if the applicant for a
development permit proposes to dedicate land to the City for educational,
recreational or cultural purposes subject to the other provisions of that
section. The proposed amendment is requested by the applicant to permit
architectural styles other than the Mediterranean design currently required
and/or currently subject to conditional use approval by the above sections of
the Land Development Regulations.
The applicant proposes to develop land on the south side of NE 188 Street
immediately to the east of the storage building. The applicant's site is
comprised of approximately 5.32 acres, with the westerly 2,69 acre portion
lying in the RMF3A zoning district and the easterly 2,63 acre portion in the
RMF3B zoning district. A location plan is attached as Exhibit #4 and an
aerial photograph is attached as Exhibit #5. The applicant's Letter of Intent
requests that the RMF3A and RMF3B zoning districts be amended to either
eliminate the requirement of Mediterranean design or modify them so as to
permit other design features subject to conditional use approval.
This matter was heard by the City of A ventura Local Planning Agency at a
public hearing on July 6, 2004, The Local Planning Agency recommended
to the City Commission that the requirement for Mediterranean design
features be eliminated from the RMF3A and RMF3B districts. Staff is
therefore recommending an amendment to these zoning districts to delete
the architectural design standard requiring Mediterranean design features
and to delete the provision for conditional use approval of architectural styles
other than Mediterranean since the deletion of Mediterranean design
features nullifies the need for this latter section.
There are presently two residential developments on the north side of NE
188 Street, those being Uptown Marina Lofts and the Atrium at A ventura,
that have been granted conditional use approval for architectural design
4
other than the Mediterranean features, pursuant to Section 31-
143(g)(9),"Bonus Height Provisions" of the City Code. A section has been
added to the amending ordinance to provide that the deletion of Section 31-
143(g)(9)i. will not affect the conditional use approvals previously granted.
If the proposed amendment to the RMF3A and RMF3B districts is adopted,
the Mediterranean design feature requirement will be eliminated in these
zones. Section 31-233 - Architectural design standards - of the City's Land
Development Regulations will apply (see Exhibit #6 for Section 31-233). Any
subsequent development proposals would be evaluated using these criteria.

Re:
Application for Amendment of Sections 31-143(e) & (g) "Multifamily
Medium Density Districts RMF3A and RMF3B" of the City's Land
Development Regulationsl Letter of Intent .
Dear Ms. Carr:
On behalf of Loft Marina, LLC, I respectfully submit this letter of intent in connection
with the Application for Amendment of Sections 31-143(e) and (g) "Multifamily Medium
Density Districts RMF3A and RMF3B" of the City's Land Development Regulations.
Currently, these multifamily medium density districts require Mediterranean design features.
The proposed amendments would either eliminate this requirement altogether or modify so as to
permit other design features subject to conditional use approval. The rationale behind this
request is, in part, that the surrounding area no longer conforms to the Mediterranean design
features originally contemplated. This is evidenced by the recent approval of various
developments in the same zoning districts that have no Mediterranean design features in addition
to the immediate surrounding districts that have no requirement of these features. For example,
none of the following recently approved developments have any Mediterranean design features:
the Harbour Centre
the Venture
the Atrium at Aventura
Uptown Marina Lofts
City of Aventura Charter Elementary School
City of Aventura Community Center
All in all, there is no current reason for requiring such design features as they would not hinder
or change the current design or look of the districts. Requiring developments to maintain
Mediterranean design features in an area that has no such features creates a hardship and
impedes future development of the area. If the City does not wish to eliminate the requirement
altogether, permitting design features other than Mediterranean subject to a conditional use
approval, would provide a helpful alternative for future development.

(a) Design concepts. The principles set out below are not intended to limit innovative
architecture, but to establish a meaningful design guide for development and redevelopment
in the City of Aventura. All development shall be designed in accordance with the fundamental
concepts described in this secti.on. The fundamental design concepts sball include:
(1) The design of architecturally varied structures within planned developments through
the use of building massing, varied roof-scapes, varied window design, ornamentation
and color;
(2) The linkage oflandscaped exterior spaces (courtyards,loggias, arcades and plazas) to
buildings;
(3) The linkage of separate development parcels by pedestrian and vehicular connections;
(4) The recognition of the South Florida climate which should influence building shape
and orientation, nature of roofs and overhangs and the location and size ofwindows¡
(5) The identification of individual subdivisions by utilizing signage;
(6) The use of private common open space as a community design feature; and
(7) Preservation of view corridors and pedestrian access to waterfront areas.
