Re: Land Development Code Amendment Regardng Shadow Study
Dear Joanne:
This law firm represents YCM Acquisitions, LW (the "Applicant"), with
regard to an application to amend the City of Aventura Land Development Code
to provide for additional clarifications regarding the shadow study requirement
in the RMF4 Zoning District,as follows:.
"Each proposed building or structure which exceeds 100 feet in height
shall be designed and situated such that the shadow created by the sun
at 12:00 noon on December 21 (a sun angle of 41 degrees) will not fall on
any adjacent property except for public road rights-of-way public or
private waterways and docks. Shadow studies shall be provided to the
Community Development Department."
While this section of the code is intended to protect the resident's
enjoyment of their yards, balconies and common areas, the language provides
virtually no exceptions and currently prohibits and any new building shadow to
be cast on private waterways and docks on those waterways. This language
adds these exceptions to the existing exception of"public road rights-of-way."
.emotion 3$-77(g) of the City Code provides standards that staff and the
City Commission shall consider when reviewing proposed amendments to the

text of the City's Land Development Regulations (the "LDRs"). The Applicant's
request addresses each of the standards as follows:
(1) The proposed amendment is legally required.
In order for the Property to be developed as discussed with staff and the
City Commission, the proposed amendment to the LDRs must be
approved and is thus required.
(2) The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed changes are consistent with the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan. The approval of the amendment would in fact
permit the development of the Applicant's property exactly as
contemplated by the comprehensive plan.
(3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the authority and
purpose of the LDR.
The proposed amendment is consistent with the authority and purpose of
the LDRs, as described in Section 31-2 of the City Code.
(4) The proposed amendment furthers the orderly development of the
City.
The proposed amendment certainly furthers the orderly development of
the City. Currently, the Property remains underdeveloped and the
Applicant is proposing a project which will meet the requirements and
goals of the RMF4 Zoning District
(5) The proposed amendment improves the administration or execution
of the development process.
Since the use being proposed is consistent with the goals and objectives of
the RMF4 Zoning District and High Density Residential Land Use
category, the approval of the amendment will improve the administration
or execution of the development process.
