Planning Director
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
December 8, 2004
SUBJECT: Request of TRG Regina Square, Ltd. for Modification of Conditional Use
approval granted through Resolution 2002-46 to change the color scheme
of Phase 1 of the Town Center at 18741 Biscayne Boulevard (05-CU-02
Modification)
January 4, 2005 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission deny the request for modification of the
color scheme for Phase 1 of the Town Center redevelopment project as approved
through Resolution No. 2002-46 as it does not meet the criteria for conditional use
approval in Section 31-73 of the City Code.
THE REQUEST
The applicant, Clifford A. Schulman for TRG Regina Square, Ltd., is requesting that the
exterior colors of the Phase 1 condominium buildings known as The Venture be
changed from the earth tones presented at the September 3, 2002 City Commission
public hearing to blue and white colors. (See Exhibit #1 for Letter of Intent)
BACKGROUND
OWNER OF PROPERTY
TRG Regina Square, Ltd.
APPLICANT
Clifford A. Schulman
ADDRESS OF PROPERTY
18741 Biscayne Boulevard
Loehmann's Fashion Island Shopping Plaza
(See Exhibit #2 for Location Plan and
Exhibit #3 for Aerial Photograph)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Part of Tracts "8" and "COO, Regina Square
Subdivision, as recorded in Plat Book 113,
Page 27 of the Public Records of Dade County
SIZE OF PROPERTY
Approximately 6.27 acres for Phase 1 site
EXISTING ZONING
TC1, Town Center District
FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
Town Center (TC1 zone)
HISTORY
The Phase 1 development of the Town Center currently under construction on the
Loehmann's Plaza site consists of two residential buildings with a total of 500 units and
18,799 square feet of retail space on the ground level of the north elevation of each
building. The easterly building fronting on NE 29 Avenue is 11 stories high and the
westerly building fronting on NE 187 Street is 7 stories high. Both buildings are
connected by a five level parking garage that has been designed to complement the
façade of the residential structures.
On September 3, 2002, the applicant received Conditional Use Approval through
Resolution No. 2002-46 to permit the following uses in Phase 1 of the Town Center
development:
1. An 11 story residential building, where a maximum of 4 stories are permitted by
Code.
2. A 7 story residential building, where a maximum of 4 stories are permitted by
Code,
3. Floor area minimum of 750 square feet for one bedroom units, where a minimum
of 900 square feet is required by Code.
4. Floor area minimum of 1,025 square feet for two bedroom units, where a
minimum of 1050 square feet is required by Code.
5. Residential uses on the ground floor, where retail and office uses only are
permitted on the ground floor by Code.
6. 825 parking spaces, where 1,066 parking spaces are required by Code.
The conceptual master plan for the overall Town Center was approved as part of the
administrative site plan approval for the Phase 1 development. Color renderings of the
Phase 1 development and the Town Center plaza area were presented by the applicant
at the September 3, 2002 public hearing. Those renderings showed an earth tone color
scheme for both Phase 1 and the Town Center as a whole. Copies of the color
2
renderings are attached as Exhibit #4. The requested color change is shown on Exhibit
#5.
ANALYSIS
Citizen Comments - The Community Development Department has received no written
citizen comments about this application.
Community Development Department Analysis - The Applicant is requesting
modification to the conditional use approval granted through Resolution No. 2002-46 to
change the color scheme of the Phase 1 buildings from earth tones to blue and white.
This modification requires review of the conditional use approval criteria to ensure that
all criteria continue to be met with this requested change.
Criteria
This request for modification to conditional use approval will be evaluated using the
criteria in Section 31-73 of the City's land Development Regulations, as follows:
(a) The proposed use shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The use is consistent with the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan, which designates
the future land use category for this site as Town Center. The requested modification
does not change the proposed use of the land.
(b) The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use shall not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety or general welfare.
The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use will not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety or general welfare. The requested
modification does not change the proposed use of the land,
(c) The proposed use shall be consistent with the community character of the
immediate neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed use is consistent with the community character of the immediate
neighborhood of the proposed use. The requested modification does not change the
proposed use of the land. There is an existing mix of retail, office and residential uses in
the immediate neighborhood of NE 28 Court, NE 29 Avenue, NE 187 Street, NE 190
Street and NE 191 Street. The City Commission has reviewed the overall concept and
future of this area of the City and has determined that a mixed use, town center
development on this site will be beneficial to businesses and residents.
(d) Utílíties, roadway capacity, drainage and other necessary public facílíties, including
police, fire and emergency services, shall exist at the City's adopted levels of
3
service, or will be available concurrent with demand as provided for in the
requirements of these LDRs.
The applicant's engineer confirmed that utilities, roadway capacity, drainage and other
necessary public facilities, including police, fire and emergency services, shall exist at
the City's adopted levels of service or will be available concurrent with demand as
provided for in the requirements of the City's Land Development Regulations. The
requested modification does not change the concurrency requirements.
(e) Adequate measures exist or shall be taken to provide ingress and egress to the
proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic congestion in the public streets.
The requested modification does not change the proposed ingress and egress to the
proposed use. Ingress and egress to the Phase 1 parking structure is proposed through
an entrance on NE 187 Street at NE 28 Court with an exit into the plaza to the north, a
drop-off, pick-up area on both NE 29 Avenue and the westerly internal drive. The
applicant submitted a Traffic Study which indicated that a traffic signal is required at this
time at the intersection of NE 28 Court and NE 187 Street. Signal timing changes are
required at the existing light at the intersection of NE 29 Avenue and NE 190 Street and
at the existing light at the intersection of NE 187 Street and Biscayne Boulevard. The
applicant has voluntarily agreed to fund the installation of a traffic signal and will make
arrangements with Miami-Dade County for the timing changes at the existing signals,
prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy.
The applicant has also indicated that it will support the City in a request to FDOT and
the County to prohibit left turns at the intersection of NE 187 Street and Biscayne
Boulevard and relocate the existing traffic signal at that intersection to the intersection of
the present entrance road into Loehmann's Plaza and Biscayne Boulevard. This will
alleviate the existing traffic congestion at the corner NE 187 Street and Biscayne
Boulevard. These improvements are conditions of Resolution No. 2002-46.
(f) The establishment of the conditional use shall not impede the development of
surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district.
The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the development of
surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district. The property to the
north is zoned for similar mixed-use development. The property to the south is zoned
Community Business district and contains an existing retail plaza. The properties to the
east are zoned Town Center and Town Center Marine Districts and include an existing
marina and an office/retail complex under construction. To the west of this site lie
Biscayne Boulevard and the Florida East Coast Railway.
(g) The design of the proposed use shall minimize adverse effects, including visual
impacts, of the proposed use on adjacent property through the use of building
orientation, setbacks, buffers, landscaping and other design criteria.
4
The Phase 1 buildings were designed to interface both with the existing center until
future phases are constructed and with the master plan once it is completed, The earth
tone color scheme originally presented is continued throughout all future phases of the
Town Center master plan. A change to blue and white exterior colors on the Phase 1
buildings will not minimize visual impacts and will not create a unified theme of
development of the Town Center that results in a "sense of place" if one part is blue and
white and the balance is earth tones. The applicant's letter of intent states that the blue
and white exterior colors will be compatible with the color of buildings on NE 188 Street
and in the general area; however, the compatibility desired is compatibility with the
balance of the adjacent Town Center and with the balance of the adjacent existing retail
center until the future phases of the Town Center are constructed. Staffs review of
publications on other Town Centers in South Florida and in other parts of the country
show that earth tones are consistently used to create the comfortable environment
desired for gathering areas.

Re:
Request for modification of color scheme for the project known as "The Venture"
Dear Ms. Carr:
This letter constitutes our request for Commission consideration for a modification of
colors of the above-noted project. The project was granted Conditional Use Approval through
adoption of Resolution No. 2002-46 on September 3, 2002.
While we do not believe that the Conditional Use Approval formally encompassed
approval of color schemes, staff has indicated that they feel Commission approval is required for
any modification of the colors rendered in our proposal.
After consultation with our design architects, Arquitectonica, a modified color scheme is
felt to be more appropriate for the site and the general environs of this area of the City, including
developments which have been approved at, near and around the site. A review of colors of
buildings approved up and down N.E. l88th Street, including the City's own Charter School and
Community Center, will show the compatibility of our proposed color scheme with those as-built
and approved projects.
We will submit, under separate cover, a rendering comparison of the prior color and the
proposed new color shortly. However, we wanted to get this Jetter to you as soon as possible to
get a place on the November 9, 2004 agenda.
Should you have any further questions, please feel fTee to call me.
Sincerely,
~~'J~

DescriptionlBackground of Proposed Amendment
The applicant wishes to establish a jewelry exchange in a vacant tenant space in a retail
plaza on Biscayne Boulevard. The site is zoned B2, Community Business District. The
nature of a jewelry exchange is the sale and purchase of secondhand jewelry and
precious metals along with new merchandise. These sales and purchases occur amongst
customers and amongst vendors in the jewelry exchange that occupy the same unit or
establishment. Current code regulations prohibit the sale of good other than to the
ultimate consumer, prohibit the sales and display or storage of used merchandise other
than antiques and prohibit purchase of used goods. The intent of these regulations,
originally enacted in July of 1999, was to prohibit pawnshops. In order to allow a jewelry
2
exchange, the applicant is proposing amendments to the definitions section of the Code
and to the permitted and prohibited uses in the B2 zoning district.
The following are the proposed amendments to Section 31-21 of the City's land
Development Regulations. They include a definition of secondhand jewelry and
secondhand precious metals. These definitions are specific in that only precious
gemstones and precious metals only are allowed. Semi-precious stones and other metals
will not be permitted.
1. Section 31-21, "Definitions" of t~e City's land Development Regulations is hereby
amended as follows:
Secondhand iewelrv shall mean anv item of personal property or object of
yalue previously owned or used. which is not sold as new. and which
contains one or more diamonds. emeralds. rubies. sapphires or other
precious qemstone.
Secondhand precious metals means any item of personal property or object
of value. previously owned or used. which is not sold as new. and which
contains qold. silver, platinum or other precious metal.
This amendment defines the type of jewelry and metals permitted to be sold and
purchased.
The following are proposed amendments to the B2, Community Business District. The
sale and purchase of secondhand jewelry and secondhand precious metals are added to
permitted uses and also exempted from prohibited uses. Pawnshops are added as a
prohibited use.
2. Section 31-144(c), "Community Business (B2) District" of the land Development
Regulations is hereby amended as follows:
