It is recommended that the City Commission approve a small-scale amendment to the
Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan pursuant to
section 163.3187, Florida Statutes, to redesignate an approximate 26.5-acre tract of land
on the northeast corner of Biscayne Boulevard and NE 213 Street, identified by folio
numbers 28-1234-019-0011 and 28-1234-019-0021 and described in attached exhibit,
from "Business and Office" to "Town Center".
THE REQUEST
The requested amendment to the FLUM to change the designation of the Property to
"Town Center" will facilitate a rezoning to a newly created Town Center North Zoning
District (TC5) and a contemplated amendment to the Development Agreement between
the City and Gulfstream Park.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
BY: Keven R. Klopp, Community Development Director
DATE: October 11, 2024
SUBJECT: Request to Amend the Official Zoning Map of the City of Aventura by
Amending the Zoning Designation of an Approximate 26.5-Acre Tract
of Land Located on the Northeast Corner of Biscayne Boulevard and
NE 213 Street from B2, Community Business District and MO, Medical
Office District, to TC5, Town Center North Planned Development (the
"Rezoning") - City File No. REZ2408-0001
October 17, 2024 Local Planning Agency Meeting Agenda
October 17, 2024 City Commission Special Meeting Agenda
January 14, 2025 City Commission Meeting Agenda
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the Rezoning for the two (2) parcels
of land located on the northeast corner of Biscayne Boulevard and NE 213, identified with
Folios 28-1234-019-0011 and 28-1234-019-0021, depicted on Exhibit 2, attached, and
legally described on Exhibit"3", attached, (the"Property"), from Business District (132) and
Medical Office District (MO), to Town Center North Planned Development District (TC5).
THE REQUEST
Michael J. Marrero, Esq. c/o Bercow Radell, on behalf of Gulfstream Park Racing
Association, Inc. (the "Applicant"), is requesting the Rezoning of the Property to utilize the
newly created development regulations of the TC5 to develop a project that aligns with
the goals and objectives of the Town Center North Planned District designation. The
applicant's Letter of Intent is attached as Exhibit#1 of this report.
BACKGROUND
Property Owner- Gulfstream Park Racing Association, Inc
Property Location - Northeast corner of Biscayne Boulevard and NE 213 Street.
See Exhibit#2 for Location Map
Property Size - 26.5 acres +/-
See Exhibit#3 for Legal Description
The Property consists of two (2) parcels of vacant land with some supporting facilities for
the racetrack located on the adjacent parcel to the north under same ownership.
Property's boundaries are Broward County Line to the north, NE 34 Avenue to the east,
NE 213 Street to the south, and Biscayne Boulevard to the west. The Property is currently
zoned 132-Community Business District and MO, Medical Office District, on the Official
Zoning Map.
The Applicant's original landholding contained 39.2 acres of land, with 19.7 acres zoned
MO, Medical Office District, and 19.5 acres zoned B2, Community Business District. In
2007, the Applicant deeded 7.0 acres to the City of Aventura (the "City") for the
development of the Waterways Park; in conjunction with this agreement, the Applicant
received other development approvals including a Development Agreement under
Chapter 63 F.S. and Conditional Use approval for the development of a 25-story, 480-
unit multifamily residential building on the portion of the Property zoned MO. The deeded
7.0-acre parcel was subsequently designated ROS, Recreation Open Space, on the
City's Zoning Map, leaving 12.7 acres of the Property under MO, Medical Office,
designation.
In 2017, the Applicant and the City entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale,
wherein the Applicant's agree to sell to the City 2.0 acres of land adjacent to the
Waterways Park to facilitate the construction of the Aventura Charter High School. Under
this agreement, the land zoned for B2, Community Business, was reduced to 17.5 acres.
The school's 2-acre parcel was subsequently rezoned to CF, Community Facilities
District.
On June 4, 2024 the City Commission under Resolution 2024-33, approved a term sheet
outlining the basis for a comparable Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) between the
City and the Applicant for the purchase of a 3-acre parcel by the City for the expansion of
the existing charter school. Subsequently, on September 3, 2024, and under Resolution
2024-61, the City Commission approved the purchase of additional 0.7 acres of land,
increasing the size of the parcel to be acquired from the Applicant to 3.7 acres. Approval
of an amendment to the existing Development Agreement and additional development
entitlements further discussed in the Term Sheet is a condition precedent to closing.
Amendments to the Official Zoning Map shall be consistent with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. The TC5 District can only be applied to properties with Town Center
designation on the Land Use Category on the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. To ensure consistency, concurrently with this request the City has
submitted applications to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, and the
Land Development Regulations. Section 163.3184 of the Florida Statutes provides that
zoning changes required to properly enact any proposed plan amendment may be
considered concurrently, but are contingent upon the comprehensive plan amendment
becoming effective.
If the proposed amendments are approved, the resulting 26.5-acre land will be rezoned
from B2, Community Business District and MO, Medical Office District, to TC5, Town
Center North Planned Development District. In addition, concurrently with these requests,
the City will be requesting to City Commission the rezoning of the 3.7 school parcel from
MO, Medical Office District, to CF, Community Facilities District.

urban center with high quality architecture, pedestrian-friendly streets, outdoor
public spaces and access to public transit.

Prior Agreements. The City has acquired land from the Applicant in two similar previous
transactions. In 2006 and 2011, the City acquired the land identified by Miami-Dade County
Property Appraiser Folio Nos. 28-1234-019-0016, 28-1234-019-0017, and 28-1234-019-0020 in
order to develop Waterways Park and Aventura Don Soffer High School. As mentioned above,
the School Site is conveniently located directly adjacent to the City-owned property identified
by Folio No. 28-1234-019-0017.
Requests. As stated above, this letter shall serve as the letter of intent for four (4)
concurrent, associated applications. The requests are outlined below:
(1) An amendment to the text of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element
creating the Town Center North designation.
The text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element will provide for an
exclusive land use category on the Future Land Use Plan Map. Further, all development will be
subject to a planned development approval under the relevant terms of the City Code of
Ordinances. The Town Center North designation will allow for a maximum permitted
development, subject to development equivalency, of up to 1,633 residential units, with flexibility
to develop all building types, including, low-rise or high-rise units, 150,000 square feet of office,
300 hotel rooms, and 300,000 square feet of commercial uses. Further, the maximum building
height is thirty (30) stories, the maximum residential floor area ratio is 4.0, and the maximum
non-residential floor area is 2.0.
The Town Center North designation establishes thoughtfully calculated development
regulations that considers the surrounding area and the City's general goals for the vicinity, while
encouraging compact development that includes a mixture of community-serving uses such as
commercial, office, employment, civic and institutional, recreation and open space, hotel, and/or

residential and supports development that can be characterized by efficient infrastructure, close-
knit neighborhoods with a sense of community, preservation of natural systems, promotion of
pedestrian circulation, and convenient access to mass transit facilities intended to service both
the City's existing and future residents and businesses.
(2) A Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment redesignating the
Property from Business and Office to the newly created Town Center North
designation.
The Future Land Use Map amendment will allow for the Property to utilize the newly
codified development regulations under the Town Center North land use designation to develop
a project inline with the goals and objectives of the Town Center North land use designation as
described above. The School Site will be excluded from the Town Center North land use
designation.
(3) An amendment to Section 31-145 of the City's Code of Ordinances to create the
"Town Center North Planned Development District (TC5) District."
The draft TC5 zoning regulations align with the goals and regulations of the Town Center
North land use designation. As contemplated, the TC5 district will implement, and is limited by,
the Town Center North designation. The TC5 district is intended to encourage and promote
development that facilitates a coordinated and balanced mix of land uses, including retail, office,
hotel/conference, certain types of commercial recreation uses, residential and other similar uses,
as well as recreation, entertainment, and associated employment opportunities while creating an
urban center with high quality architecture, pedestrian-friendly streets, outdoor public spaces,
and access to public transit.
The development regulations for the district were carefully calculated and drafted to
effectuate the above goals of the TC5 district and Town Center North designation. Residential
density in the TC5 district is limited to sixty (60) dwelling units per acre, maximum residential
floor area ratio is 4.0, maximum non-residential floor area ratio is 2.0, and the maximum height
is thirty (30) stories. The TC5 district further requires the approval of a General Plan of
Development and Design Guidelines establishing the internal streetscape of the project's
connection to the surrounding urban context and the project's development standards,
including, but not limited to the setbacks, building height, parking requirements, and landscape
requirements.
(4) A rezoning of the Property to the newly created TC5 district.

Mr. Keven Klopp, Planning Director

The rezoning of the Property to the newly created TC5 district will allow for the Property
to utilize the newly created development regulations of the TC5 to develop a project that aligns
with the goals and objectives of the TC5 district and Town Center North designation as described
above. The School Site will be excluded from the TC5 district.
(5)A F.S. Chapter 163 Development Agreement.
The Agreement between the City and Applicant will amend the existing agreements for
the Property and provide for the reservation of development rights on the Property for a period
of up to thirty (30) years including, subject to a development equivalency matrix established in
the Agreement, up to 1,633 residential units, with flexibility to develop all building types, a
maximum height of thirty (30) stories, a residential floor area ratio of 4.0 on the gross acreage,
and non-residential development up to 150,000 square feet of office, 300 hotel rooms, and
300,000 square feet of commercial uses with a commercial floor area ratio of 2.0 on the gross
acreage.
The Agreement also provides for a total of three (3) "unrestricted" north-south roadways
at locations mutually acceptable to both parties to the agreement; City conceptual approval for
a future connection of the Property to the Intracoastal Waterway which includes the City's
conveyance of any portion of Waterways Dog Park deemed necessary by the Applicant to
connect the Property to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Applicant's relocation of the
Waterways Dog Park to an alternative parcel within the Property of similar size and comparable
amenities.
Conclusion. We look forward to your review of our applications and draft documents.

outlining the basis for a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) between the City and
Gulfstream Park Racing Association, Inc. for the purchase of a 3-acre parcel by the City
for the expansion of the existing charter school. Subsequently, on September 3, 2024,
