LEGAL DESCRIPTION The westerly 228.59 feet of Tract A, Magnum
Marine Plat, Plat Book 147, Page 12 of the Public
Records of Miami -Dade County, Florida, City
of Aventura
DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICATION
The site is located on the south side of NE 188 Street between two residential
developments. The parcel was deeded to the City by the owners of the residential
development to the east in order to obtain development incentives provided under Section
31-143(g)(9) of the City Code. The deed was recorded on November 6, 2013 in Official
Records Book 28902, Pages 11361141 of the Public Records of Miami -Dade County.
The park site is designed with an open lawn, walking/jogging path, drinking fountains,
benches, bike racks, exercise equipment area with shade canopy, playground equipment
area with shade canopy, lighting and landscaping. A six-foot high aluminum fence
surrounds the lawn, path and play equipment area. Pedestrian access is by way of gated
access on both NE 188 Street and the existing public walkway along the canal at the south
site limit. The exercise equipment area will be accessible at all times. The park opened in
2016.
The land use designation of the property was not changed at the time of construction and
should now be completed to ensure that the future land use map reflects the public park
use. The request is to change the current land use designation from Medium High Density
Residential to Parks and Recreation. An application to amend the Official Zoning Map for
this parcel from RMF3B, Multifamily Medium Density Residential to ROS, Recreation Open
Space, is being processed concurrently with this application.

Access — Access to the parcel is from NE 188 Street, a public right-of-way and from the
public walkway along the south side of the NE 188 Street canal.
Conformity to City Comprehensive Plan — The amendment is consistent with the goals,
objectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. More specifically, the proposal
is consistent with the following policies in the Future Land Use and Parks and Recreation
elements of the Plan:
Parks and Recreation Future Land Use Category
The Parks and Recreation Future Land Use Category encourages compatible parks in all
of the residential categories and in all other categories of the LUP map. Peace Park is
located on land designated as Medium High Residential and is designed as a
neighborhood park. The proposed designation complies with this purpose of the Plan.
Parks and Recreation Element
Policy 4.1, Parks Level of Service Standard
The City has adopted a level of service requiring 2.75 acres of net useable park land per
1,000 residents, implemented by the concurrency management system.
The estimated current population for the City of Aventura based on the latest application
for comprehensive plan amendment is 38,031. The amount of park and recreation land
required by the above park standard is 104.5 acres. The existing available park and
recreation land, using the calculations provided in the Level of Service Standards and
including the park area subject of this amendment, is 116.95 acres. Therefore, the City is
exceeding the level of service standard for provision of park and recreation land.

the adjacent residential developments. It is now recommended that the zoning be
amended to ROS, Recreation/Open Space District, to reflect its use as a public park.
