FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager 6 --
BY: Keven Klopp, Community Development Director
DATE: June 10, 2022
SUBJECT: Application to Amend Section 31-143(f)(2a)c. of the Land Development
Regulations to Add a Conditional Use in the RMF4 Zoning District by
Which Certain Otherwise Prohibited Shadows Could be Approved
June 14, 2022 Local Planning Agency Agenda Item 4A
June 14, 2022 11t Reading City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 6A
July 12, 2022 2"1 Reading City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
As discussed at the City Commission Workshop meeting of March 15, 2022, the attached
ordinance is presented for recommendation by the Local Planning Agency and approval
by the City Commission of a request to amend Section 31-143(f)(2a)c., "Multifamily High
Density Residential Districts (RMF4)" of the Land Development Regulations to add a
Conditional Use by which certain otherwise prohibited shadows could be approved.
THE REQUEST
The attached letter (attached as Exhibit #1) proposes an amendment to Section 31-
143(f)(2a)c. of the Land Development Regulations to allow uses in the RMF4 Zoning
District to cast a shadow on land zoned for business. Currently, office buildings, hotels
and mixed-use buildings of any height can cast a shadow over commercially zoned
properties. As discussed during the referenced Workshop, RMF4 properties could be,
with Commission approval, released of the constraint and thus, regulated in line with
commercially-zoned properties in regards to the shadow they are allowed to cast.
BACKGROUND
Section 31-143(f)(3)(b)(3) of the City Code contains certain restrictions to the RMF4
zoning district. City Code restricts development of structures over 100 feet in height in the
RMF4 district from casting of shadows on December 21 at 12 noon of each year
regardless of the adjacent property's zoning.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The proposed amendment to the Multifamily High Density Residential (RMF4) District
follows in underlined text:
Section 31-143(f)(2a)c. Multifamily High Density (RMF4) District.
(f) Multifamily High-Density Residential Districts (RMF4). The following regulations
shall apply to all RMF4 Districts.
(2a) Conditional uses. The following uses may be established if first approved
as a conditional use:
a. All Uses permitted in the CF District, but not any use listed as a
Conditional Use in the CF district.
b. Uses that exceed the height limitation, to a maximum height of 30 stories
or 300 feet, or to a maximum height of 35 stories or 350 feet for any
property which was granted a waiver pursuant to section 3 of Ordinance
2005-07.
c. Buildings designed and situated in a way that they cast a shadow upon
properties located in Business Zoning Districts defined under Section 31-
144.
d. EUses that exceed the density limitation, to a maximum of 60 dwelling units
per gross acre.
e. d For buildings that attain LEEDO Gold or Platinum certification as provided
in article VI of chapter 14 of the City Code, increased lot coverage,
provided that a green roof and/or green rooftop amenities are provided
and maintained for the common benefit of building occupants; and; that
increased Florida-Friendly tree canopy and Florida-Friendly plantings
designed to calm the heat island effect are located on site, all in an
amount equal to the requested increased lot coverage.
f. e For buildings that attain LEEDO Gold or Platinum certification as provided
in article VI of chapter 14 of the City Code, increased floor area ratio.
g_� Limited-Service Hotel in combination with permitted multifamily residential
development, where the hotel is separated from the residential use,
subject to all of the following criteria-
1. Shall only be permitted on properties where a minimum of two sides
share all or part of a common lot line with another lot or parcel of land
that is zoned Community Business (B2) District on the City's Zoning
Map; and
2. Retail and restaurant uses shall be permitted as accessory uses; and
3. Not more than ten percent of the gross building area shall be devoted
to hotel amenities such as dining areas, bars and lounges, and
meeting rooms, excluding ground floor retail and restaurant uses; and
2
4. The gross floor area of the hotel use shall not exceed 33 percent of
the gross floor area of the building; and
5. Hotel rooms shall meet the criteria in Section 31-144(c)(1)dd.; and
6. The hotel use and the residential use may be located in one building,
but the hotel rooms and residential units shall be located in separate
vertical blocks; and
7. The hotel use shall have its own separate driveway entrance/exit and
its own separate lobby; and
8. The applicant shall provide transportation demand management
strategies to reduce the impact of the development, as approved by
the City Manager and City's Traffic Engineering Consultant, to reduce
adverse effects to the overall transportation network. The applicant
shall provide any right-of-way improvements appropriate to the
subject property.

Re: Request to be Placed on March 15, 2022 Workshop
Proposed Amendment to Section 31-143(f)(3)(b)(3), RMF4 District Land
Development Regulations
Dear Mr. Klopp:
Please consider this our request on behalf of our client, GOT183 LLC, to be
placed on the March 15, 2022, City Commission Workshop related to proposed
modifications to the City of Aventura Land Development Regulations pertaining to the
RMF4 Zoning District.
The City of Aventura Code contains some historic restrictions related to height of
properties within various districts. One example is Section 31-143(f)(3)(b)(3) of the City
of Aventura Code (the "City Code"), which incorporates certain restrictions unique to the
RMF4 zoning district. Specifically, the City Code restricts development of structures
over 100 feet in height in the RMF4 district from casting of shadows on December 21 at
12 noon of each year, allowing such shadows to only fall on public road rights-of-way,
public or private waterways or docks. This unique provision is unique to the RMF4
district.
Land continues to be a scarce resource, and as South Florida continues to be
the focus of migration from other areas of the state or country, the focus in many
communities has shifted to redevelopment of remaining or underdeveloped parcels,
including in the City of Aventura. In that regard, we propose a reevaluation of the above
RMF4 restriction related to height regulations in recognition that if another office

building, hotel or mixed-use building can cast a shadow on other commercially zoned
properties, then as redevelopment within the City occurs, that RMF4 properties should
not be more constrained than commercially zoned properties.
Office buildings, hotels and other similar structures in the Business Zoning
Districts under City Code Section 31-144 do not have the same limitation against
casting shadows on other hotels, commercial or office buildings. In fact mixed-use
developments in the Town Center districts under Section 31-145 may contain various
heights of buildings with no such restriction on casting shadows on adjacent properties
in other districts, or on other buildings within the Town Center districts, including on
residential structures within the Town Center district. However, while offices, medical
buildings hotels and other structures in the Town Center, Medical Office, Office Park,
Community Facilities and commercial districts are not subject to the shadow restrictions
and therefore are not restricted from casting shadows on other properties sharing the
same designation, under the City Code, it is only the RMF4 district that carries the
shadow restriction.
Specifically, the City code under the RMF4 District regulations provides:
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) shall not fall on any adjacent
property, except for public road rights-of-way, public or
private waterways and docks.
Therefore, while a 12 story office buildings in the B2 district can cast a shadow
on other commercial, office, hotel and similar properties, developments in the RMF4
district would be more constrained and restricted from casting such shadows.
As the zoning code has morphed with the creation of new zoning districts, the
focus continues to shift to redevelopment or future development of vacant or
underdeveloped parcels, the unique shadow limitation in RMF4 likely no longer serves
the same purpose as when it was enacted. If an office building, medical building, or
hotel building exceeding 100 feet is able to cast shadows on commercially zoned
adjacent properties, the limitation on the ability for RMF4 properties to cast such
shadows on business zoned properties is arguably obsolete.
Based on the foregoing, we propose a relaxation of the shadow provisions to
expand the properties upon which an RMF4 structure can cast a shadow to include the
business zoned districts under 31-144. Specifically, we request the code be modified to
as follows:

Mr.Keven Klopp
March 4, 2022 Page 3 Bilzin Sumberg
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) shall not fall on any adjacent
property, except for public road rights-of-way, public or
private waterways and docks, or properties located in
Business Zoning Districts defined under Section 31-144.
The above change will recognize that if another office building, hotel or mixed-
use building can cast a shadow on other commercially zoned properties, then as
redevelopment within the City occurs, that RMF4 properties should not be more
constrained than commercially zoned properties. However, the proposed change will
keep in place the protection of RMF4 properties casting shadows on other residentially
zoned properties.
Thank you for your review of the foregoing. Should you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me at (305) 350-2351.

Standards for reviewing proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Map
(Florida Statutes 163.3177)
Florida Statues regarding the City's Comprehensive Plan seek mainly to ensure that
development of previously undeveloped land proceeds in a manner that is orderly and
economically, socially, physically, environmentally, and fiscally balanced. The statute
does require the following be analyzed when considering a change to the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use Map:
• the availability of facilities and services.
• the suitability of the plan amendment for its proposed use considering the
character of the undeveloped land, soils, topography, natural resources, and
historic resources on site.
• the minimum amount of land needed to achieve economically, socially, physically,
environmentally, and fiscally balanced development.
• the extent to which the development pattern or urban form discourages the
proliferation of urban sprawl.
All required services and facilities are available to this location to fulfill service
requirements. Capacity allocations for water, sewer, and schools are made at the time
of development order approval.
The proposed FLUM Amendment is suitable considering the site is an existing, fully
developed office park.
The proposed FLUM Amendment consumes the minimum amount of currently
undeveloped land needed to achieve economically, socially, physically, environmentally,
and fiscally balanced development.
The proposed FLUM Amendment discourages urban sprawl. It facilitates redevelopment
of fallow land resulting in increased density and intensity within a transit-oriented corridor.
Public Hearing Notice - Notice of this public hearing has been published, posted and
mailed in accordance with Section 31-71(e) of the City Code. The Community
Development Department has received no citizen comments as of the date of writing of

Use Map and Zoning Map
2785 NE 183rd Street, Aventura, Florida
Folio Numbers 28-2203-000-0250 and -0273 (the "Property")
Dear Mr. Klopp:
Letter of Intent
This firm represents Got183 LLC as the contract purchaser of the above Property.
Please consider this our formal letter of intent in connection with an application to amend
the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation and Zoning
Map designation on the Property.
A. The Property
The Property consists of approximately 1.55 acres located on NE 183rd Street, in
the area east of Biscayne Boulevard, situated further east of NE 27t" Avenue. This area
remains one of the last vacant development parcels within the City of Aventura.
While the Property was under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County, the Property
was originally approved for an exhibition center and surface parking, and most recently
housed the Biscayne Rehabilitation Institute. All structures on the Property have been
demolished and the land currently remains vacant and underutilized.
The City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan continues to focus on redevelopment.
The subject Property is one of the few remaining redevelopment opportunities in this area

and is ripe for redevelopment. We are pleased to present a proposed project to the City
to transform this vacantin and historically underutilized parcel into a prominent, attractive
and iconic development.
B. Demands and Variation in Housing Needs
There are countless articles and studies detailing the long-term impact the
COVID-19 pandemic has had on housing demand and availability. Studies particularly
highlight the shortage of housing in South Florida and the continued need for residential
development. This need runs the gamut from smaller, more affordable units, to larger
units able to meaningfully accommodate the ability to work from home. This particular
location is ideal to accommodate the latter.
While we recognize there continues to be a market need for smaller units and
maximum density, the proposed development is geared toward the additional market
need of larger units which can serve the needs of those relocating from other geographic
regions that may also favor a home office. Featuring a modest 84 units, the residences
range from the two-bedroom units in the garage liner of 1,400 square feet to three- and
four-bedroom residences ranging from 2,400 to 3,500 square feet, with the possibility to
do full-floor units of 5,900 square feet. Remote working continues to increase in popularity
and South Florida remains an attractive option for relocation. Studies reveal that over
half a million people exchanged their out of state driver's licenses for Florida addresses,
up 40% from 2020. While there has been much focus and attention on New Yorkers,
New Yorkers account for approximately 11% of the shift, with demand continuing from
other northeast states and other areas including California and foreign countries.
This increase continues to highlight the need for housing, and Aventura, with its
high quality and diverse retail, restaurants and prime location remains a top choice for
many.
C. Prior Declarations and Restrictions
As part of prior commercial approvals on the Property while it was under Miami-
Dade County's jurisdiction, the then-owner proffered certain covenants that restricted the
eastern portion of the Property, so long as the property remained zoned commercial and
under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County, to parking for the exhibition center. The
Property is no longer under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County; however, the
instruments illustrate the reservations, dating back to the early 1980's, that commercial
use may not be the ideal use on the Property. The proposed residential redevelopment
under the RMF4 district coincides with the historic limitation against commercial
structures on the Property. Although redevelopment will no longer be under the County
commercial zoning, thus rendering the restrictions obsolete, the proposed development
respects this historic limitation and proposes to preserve this area for the amenities and
landscaping.

D. The Rezoning Meets the Standards Set Forth Under City Code Section 31-
77
In accordance with City Code Section 31-77(f), the proposed amendment meets
the criteria for approval in that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Upon approval of the amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use map, the rezoning to RMF4 would be consistent with the goals,
objectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning
designation(s) and existing uses.
The proposed rezoning is consistent and compatible with the surrounding
area's designation and existing uses in that the RMF4 designation abuts the
Property to the east, north and northeast and the properties across NE 183rd
Street are similarly zoned RMF4, with the property to the west zoned B2.
3. The subject property is physically suitable for the uses permitted in the
proposed district.
As illustrated by the design of the proposed building, and the efficient utilization
of the site, the Property is physically suitable for the proposed residential use.
4. There are sites available in other areas currently zoned for such use.
Based on the limited sites for redevelopment of residential properties east of
Biscayne Boulevard, the proposed use will help meet the ongoing demands for
new residential units in this area.
5. If applicable, the proposed change will contribute to redevelopment of an area
in accordance with an approved redevelopment plan.
While not part of an approved redevelopment plan, the subject vacant site has
been ripe for redevelopment for many years. The proposed high profile
designed building will transform the dormant land into a vibrant new
development.
6. The proposed change would adversely affect traffic patterns or congestion.
Based on the trip comparison study, the proposed 84 residential dwelling units
generates only 36 AM peak hour trips and 43 PM peak hour trips where the
M I AM I 943 845 3.3 100992/3 02121
Mr. Keven Klopp
PageApril 24 2022 Bilzin Sumberg
9
proposed development as of right, could develop a minimum of 43,800 square
feet of medical use, which would generate over three times the AM peak hour
trips and almost four times the PM peak hour trips. See attached trip generation
comparison exhibits.
7. The proposed change would adversely impact population density such that
the demand for water, sewers, streets, recreational areas and facilities, and
other public facilities and services would be adversely affected.
The proposed use of only 84 dwelling units will not have a negative impact on
the water, sewer or other levels of public facilities within a City, which will
evaluated for concurrency as part of redevelopment of the site.
8. Whether the proposed change would have an adverse environmental impact
on the vicinity.
The proposed use will not have an adverse environmental impact on the
vicinity. As part of the development of the Property, the site will be reviewed
by the Miami-Dade County Division of Environmental Resources Management,
to ensure that the Property complies with the environmental regulations of the
County.
9. Whether the proposed change would adversely affect the health, safety, and
welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole.
The proposed change would not adversely affect the health, safety and welfare
of the neighborhood or City as a whole in that the proposed development is for
84 residential dwelling units as opposed to a more intense commercial use.
E. Requests
The Property is currently designated Business and Office on the City of Aventura
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, and is zoned B2 on the City of Aventura
Zoning Map. The majority of the B2 development south of the William Lehman Causeway
is centralized on Biscayne Boulevard. The Property is over 700 feet from Biscayne
Boulevard, with visibility blocked by other structures, rendering it less appealing as a
commercial site.
Our client proposes to re-designate the Property from its current Business and
Office designation on the City of Aventura Future Land Use Map to match the high-density
residential designation existing on properties to the south, east, northeast and partially to
the north. Similarly, our client proposes to rezone the Property to RMF4 consistent with
the proposed new residential Future Land Use Map designation, and consistent with the
RMF4 zoning on the parcels to the east, northeast, south, southwest, and partially to the
north.

Mr Keven Klopp
April 28, 2022
Page 5 Bilzin Sumberg
As part of the proposed development, our client will be seeking two companion
applications to proceed simultaneously with second reading of the above applications, if
the City approves the applications of the first reading.
These companion applications would include a conditional use approval to allow
84 residential dwelling units where 69 residential dwelling units would be permitted as of
right in the RMF4 district, and up to 93 may be permitted via conditional use approval. As
illustrated by the traffic comparison, the additional units sought by the conditional use
approval will generate a total of 4 AM and 4 PM peak hour additional trips, which will have
a minimal impact on the traffic, and far less than permitted under the current zoning.
Additionally, our client will be seeking conditional use approval related to height,
FAR and from the shadow provision, as well as a companion application to release certain
documents recorded against the Property related to prior uses and which are no longer
germane.
F. Proposed Development
Attached are the conceptual plans for development that our client proposes to
present for conditional use approval. Known for their forward thinking and innovative
designs, Idea Architects' site plan for Tal is slated to be an iconic building to serve as the
defining focal point in the area. The emblematic structure features a fluid curved flow with
a central open focal point allowing light and air to flow though the nucleus in a truly unique
shape worthy of the approval for new development in Aventura.
The 25 story structure includes a four story pedestal consisting of a lined and
screened parking deck, a two story lobby and two residential units, with connected
curvilinear 21 story towers. Level 5 of one of the towers will contain the amenities deck.
The development has been designed such that the portion of the L-shaped Property
backing up to the RMF4 designated townhouses to the north will feature an attractive and
active green space with tennis courts a swimming pool and will provide attractive and
serene views from all sides.
The RMF4 designation allows up to 60 dwelling units per acre with conditional use
approval for up to 93 units. The proposed development consists of 84 luxury units
averaging between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet, at under 55 dwelling units per acre. In
keeping with the market for luxury units, the development proposes ten foot ceilings with
the penthouses featuring 11 foot ceilings, for an overall total building height of 275 feet.
G. Conclusion
The proposed development seeks to transform a vacant and historically
underutilized property into an iconic building that Aventura will be proud to feature in its
City. The proposed development features 84 luxury condominium homes that are both

attractive and functional, with an attractive ground level amenities area defining much of
the frontage of the site.
We respectfully request your favorable review of the request for rezoning and
amendment to the Future Land Use Map.
Thank you for your review of the foregoing. Should you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact me at (305) 350-2351.

Folio Numbers 28-2203-000-0250 and -0273 (the "Property")
Dear Mr. Klopp:
Letter of Intent
This firm represents Got183 LLC as the contract purchaser of the above Property.
Please consider this our formal letter of intent in connection with an application to amend
the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation and Zoning
Map designation on the Property.
A. The Property
The Property consists of approximately 1.55 acres located on NE 183rd Street, in
the area east of Biscayne Boulevard, situated further east of NE 27t" Avenue. This area
remains one of the last vacant development parcels within the City of Aventura.
While the Property was under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County, the Property
was originally approved for an exhibition center and surface parking, and most recently
housed the Biscayne Rehabilitation Institute. All structures on the Property have been
demolished and the land currently remains vacant and underutilized.
The City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan continues to focus on redevelopment.
The subject Property is one of the few remaining redevelopment opportunities in this area

and is ripe for redevelopment. We are pleased to present a proposed project to the City
to transform this vacantin and historically underutilized parcel into a prominent, attractive
and iconic development.
B. Demands and Variation in Housing Needs
There are countless articles and studies detailing the long-term impact the
COVID-19 pandemic has had on housing demand and availability. Studies particularly
highlight the shortage of housing in South Florida and the continued need for residential
development. This need runs the gamut from smaller, more affordable units, to larger
units able to meaningfully accommodate the ability to work from home. This particular
location is ideal to accommodate the latter.
While we recognize there continues to be a market need for smaller units and
maximum density, the proposed development is geared toward the additional market
need of larger units which can serve the needs of those relocating from other geographic
regions that may also favor a home office. Featuring a modest 84 units, the residences
range from the two-bedroom units in the garage liner of 1,400 square feet to three- and
four-bedroom residences ranging from 2,400 to 3,500 square feet, with the possibility to
do full-floor units of 5,900 square feet. Remote working continues to increase in popularity
and South Florida remains an attractive option for relocation. Studies reveal that over
half a million people exchanged their out of state driver's licenses for Florida addresses,
up 40% from 2020. While there has been much focus and attention on New Yorkers,
New Yorkers account for approximately 11% of the shift, with demand continuing from
other northeast states and other areas including California and foreign countries.
This increase continues to highlight the need for housing, and Aventura, with its
high quality and diverse retail, restaurants and prime location remains a top choice for
many.
C. Prior Declarations and Restrictions
As part of prior commercial approvals on the Property while it was under Miami-
Dade County's jurisdiction, the then-owner proffered certain covenants that restricted the
eastern portion of the Property, so long as the property remained zoned commercial and
under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County, to parking for the exhibition center. The
Property is no longer under the jurisdiction of Miami-Dade County; however, the
instruments illustrate the reservations, dating back to the early 1980's, that commercial
use may not be the ideal use on the Property. The proposed residential redevelopment
under the RMF4 district coincides with the historic limitation against commercial
structures on the Property. Although redevelopment will no longer be under the County
commercial zoning, thus rendering the restrictions obsolete, the proposed development
respects this historic limitation and proposes to preserve this area for the amenities and
landscaping.

D. The Rezoning Meets the Standards Set Forth Under City Code Section 31-
77
In accordance with City Code Section 31-77(f), the proposed amendment meets
the criteria for approval in that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Upon approval of the amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use map, the rezoning to RMF4 would be consistent with the goals,
objectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning
designation(s) and existing uses.
The proposed rezoning is consistent and compatible with the surrounding
area's designation and existing uses in that the RMF4 designation abuts the
Property to the east, north and northeast and the properties across NE 183rd
Street are similarly zoned RMF4, with the property to the west zoned B2.
3. The subject property is physically suitable for the uses permitted in the
proposed district.
As illustrated by the design of the proposed building, and the efficient utilization
of the site, the Property is physically suitable for the proposed residential use.
4. There are sites available in other areas currently zoned for such use.
Based on the limited sites for redevelopment of residential properties east of
Biscayne Boulevard, the proposed use will help meet the ongoing demands for
new residential units in this area.
5. If applicable, the proposed change will contribute to redevelopment of an area
in accordance with an approved redevelopment plan.
While not part of an approved redevelopment plan, the subject vacant site has
been ripe for redevelopment for many years. The proposed high profile
designed building will transform the dormant land into a vibrant new
development.
6. The proposed change would adversely affect traffic patterns or congestion.
Based on the trip comparison study, the proposed 84 residential dwelling units
generates only 36 AM peak hour trips and 43 PM peak hour trips where the
M I AM I 943 845 3.3 100992/3 02121
Mr. Keven Klopp
PageApril 24 2022 Bilzin Sumberg
9
proposed development as of right, could develop a minimum of 43,800 square
feet of medical use, which would generate over three times the AM peak hour
trips and almost four times the PM peak hour trips. See attached trip generation
comparison exhibits.
7. The proposed change would adversely impact population density such that
the demand for water, sewers, streets, recreational areas and facilities, and
other public facilities and services would be adversely affected.
The proposed use of only 84 dwelling units will not have a negative impact on
the water, sewer or other levels of public facilities within a City, which will
evaluated for concurrency as part of redevelopment of the site.
8. Whether the proposed change would have an adverse environmental impact
on the vicinity.
The proposed use will not have an adverse environmental impact on the
vicinity. As part of the development of the Property, the site will be reviewed
by the Miami-Dade County Division of Environmental Resources Management,
to ensure that the Property complies with the environmental regulations of the
County.
9. Whether the proposed change would adversely affect the health, safety, and
welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole.
The proposed change would not adversely affect the health, safety and welfare
of the neighborhood or City as a whole in that the proposed development is for
84 residential dwelling units as opposed to a more intense commercial use.
E. Requests
The Property is currently designated Business and Office on the City of Aventura
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, and is zoned B2 on the City of Aventura
Zoning Map. The majority of the B2 development south of the William Lehman Causeway
is centralized on Biscayne Boulevard. The Property is over 700 feet from Biscayne
Boulevard, with visibility blocked by other structures, rendering it less appealing as a
commercial site.
Our client proposes to re-designate the Property from its current Business and
Office designation on the City of Aventura Future Land Use Map to match the high-density
residential designation existing on properties to the south, east, northeast and partially to
the north. Similarly, our client proposes to rezone the Property to RMF4 consistent with
the proposed new residential Future Land Use Map designation, and consistent with the
RMF4 zoning on the parcels to the east, northeast, south, southwest, and partially to the
north.

Mr Keven Klopp
April 28, 2022
Page 5 Bilzin Sumberg
As part of the proposed development, our client will be seeking two companion
applications to proceed simultaneously with second reading of the above applications, if
the City approves the applications of the first reading.
These companion applications would include a conditional use approval to allow
84 residential dwelling units where 69 residential dwelling units would be permitted as of
right in the RMF4 district, and up to 93 may be permitted via conditional use approval. As
illustrated by the traffic comparison, the additional units sought by the conditional use
approval will generate a total of 4 AM and 4 PM peak hour additional trips, which will have
a minimal impact on the traffic, and far less than permitted under the current zoning.
Additionally, our client will be seeking conditional use approval related to height,
FAR and from the shadow provision, as well as a companion application to release certain
documents recorded against the Property related to prior uses and which are no longer
germane.
F. Proposed Development
Attached are the conceptual plans for development that our client proposes to
present for conditional use approval. Known for their forward thinking and innovative
designs, Idea Architects' site plan for Tal is slated to be an iconic building to serve as the
defining focal point in the area. The emblematic structure features a fluid curved flow with
a central open focal point allowing light and air to flow though the nucleus in a truly unique
shape worthy of the approval for new development in Aventura.
The 25 story structure includes a four story pedestal consisting of a lined and
screened parking deck, a two story lobby and two residential units, with connected
curvilinear 21 story towers. Level 5 of one of the towers will contain the amenities deck.
The development has been designed such that the portion of the L-shaped Property
backing up to the RMF4 designated townhouses to the north will feature an attractive and
active green space with tennis courts a swimming pool and will provide attractive and
serene views from all sides.
The RMF4 designation allows up to 60 dwelling units per acre with conditional use
approval for up to 93 units. The proposed development consists of 84 luxury units
averaging between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet, at under 55 dwelling units per acre. In
keeping with the market for luxury units, the development proposes ten foot ceilings with
the penthouses featuring 11 foot ceilings, for an overall total building height of 275 feet.
G. Conclusion
The proposed development seeks to transform a vacant and historically
underutilized property into an iconic building that Aventura will be proud to feature in its
City. The proposed development features 84 luxury condominium homes that are both

attractive and functional, with an attractive ground level amenities area defining much of
the frontage of the site.
We respectfully request your favorable review of the request for rezoning and
amendment to the Future Land Use Map.

do not hesitate to contact me at (305) 350-2351.
