RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve an amendment to the Official
Zoning Map to apply the "Aventura Core Subdistrict Overlay (MUC1)" to property currently
zoned "Community Business District (B2)". The subject area is generally located east of
Biscayne Boulevard to West Country Club Drive and south of Aventura Boulevard to the
William Lehman Causeway. This amendment applies to 11 parcels, further identified in
Exhibit "1 ".
THE REQUEST
The proposed Aventura Core Subdistrict Overlay (MUC1) is intended to advance the
goals of the City's comprehensive planning framework by reinforcing the Metropolitan
Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map. Applying this overlay to
property currently zoned Community Business District (B2) will ensure that areas east of
Biscayne Boulevard to West Country Club Drive and south of Aventura Boulevard to the
William Lehman Causeway accommodate the highest levels of density, intensity, and a
diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment. This approach reflects the
characteristics of primary activity centers and promotes a vibrant urban core that supports
economic development, pedestrian connectivity, and high -quality design standards.

Industrial and Office
The proposed Aventura Core Subdistrict Overlay (MUC1) advances the intent of the
Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map by
introducing a zoning overlay for areas intended to support the highest levels of density,
intensity, and a diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment,
characteristic of primary activity centers.
Staff reviewed the proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map pursuant to the review
standards of the Land Development Regulations contained in Section 31-77(f) of the City
Code as follow:
(1) The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
Policy 2.2 of the City's Comprehensive Plan specifies that the Metropolitan Urban
Center (MUC) designation as described and adopted within the Miami Dade
County Comprehensive Master Development Plan may be applied as an overlay
within the Business and Office land use category.
(2) The proposed zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning
designation(s) and existing uses.
The proposed overlay is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning
designations and existing uses. These parcels involve a variety of commercial and
entertainment uses with several retail plazas and hotels in addition to community
facilities.
(3) The subject property is physically suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed
district.
The overlay is situated in an area well -served by multiple transportation modes,
making it ideally suited for the proposed mix of uses.
(4) There are sites available in other areas currently zoned for such use.
This zoning overlay is unique to these parcels; there are no other areas currently
zoned for such use.
(5) If applicable, the proposed change will contribute to redevelopment of an area in
accordance with an approved redevelopment plan.
The proposed change is consistent with City and County plans for redevelopment
in the area.
(6) The proposed change would adversely affect traffic patterns or congestion.
The proposed change is not expected to negatively impact traffic patterns or
congestion. The overlay is designed to strengthen transit connections, promote
micro mobility, and serve as an incubator for innovations in multimodal
transportation; this may include the integration of a dedicated mobility hub for
autonomous vehicles and future air mobility solutions.
(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 will not have a negative impact on the water, sewer or other
levels of service for public facilities within the City, each project will be evaluated
for concurrency as part of any redevelopment of the subject site.
(8) Whether the proposed change would have an adverse environmental impact on
the vicinity.
The uses allowed will not have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity.
Each project will be reviewed by the Miami -Dade County Division of Environmental
Resources Management, to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental
regulations.
(9) Whether the proposed change would adversely affect the health, safety, and
welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole.
The more intensive development allowed by the overlay is expected to enhance
safety and welfare within the surrounding area. Requirements will ensure that at
least 50% of the open space shall be accessible to the public. This includes parks,
plazas, water bodies, terraces, courtyards, arcades/colonnades, pedestrian paths,
and open-air transit platform areas improved for pedestrian comfort.

FROM: Bryan Pegues, City Manager
BY: Keven Klopp, Community Development Director
DATE: July 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Request to Amend the Official Zoning Map of the City of Aventura to

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve an amendment to the Official
Zoning Map to apply the "Aventura Center Subdistrict Overlay (MUC2)" to property
currently zoned "Community Business District (B2)" and "Community Facilities District
(CF)". The subject area is generally located east of Biscayne Boulevard to West Country
Club Drive and south of Aventura Boulevard to the William Lehman Causeway. This
amendment applies to 10 parcels, further identified in Exhibit "1".
THE REQUEST
The proposed Aventura Center Subdistrict Overlay (MUC2) is intended to advance the
goals of the City's comprehensive planning framework by reinforcing the Metropolitan
Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map. Applying this overlay to
those properties identified by Exhibit "1" will ensure that areas east of Biscayne Boulevard
to West Country Club Drive and south of Aventura Boulevard to the William Lehman
Causeway accommodate the highest levels of density, intensity, and a diverse mix of
uses within a compact, walkable environment. This approach reflects the characteristics
of primary activity centers and promotes a vibrant urban center that supports economic
development, pedestrian connectivity, and high -quality design standards.

ANALYSIS
The proposed Aventura Center Subdistrict Overlay (MUC2) advances the intent of the
Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map by
introducing a zoning overlay for areas intended to support higher levels of density,
intensity, and a diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment characteristic
of primary activity centers.
Staff reviewed the proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map pursuant to the review
standards of the Land Development Regulations contained in Section 31-77(f) of the City
Code as follow:
(1) The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
Policy 2.2 of the City's Comprehensive Plan specifies that the Metropolitan Urban
Center (MUC) designation as described and adopted within the Miami Dade
County Comprehensive Master Development Plan may be applied as an overlay
within the Business and Office land use category.
(2) The proposed zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning
designation(s) and existing uses.
The proposed overlay is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning
designations and existing uses. These parcels involve a variety of commercial and
entertainment uses with several retail plazas and hotels in addition to community
facilities.
(3) The subject property is physically suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed
district.
The overlay is situated in an area well -served by multiple transportation modes,
making it ideally suited for the proposed mix of uses.
(4) There are sites available in other areas currently zoned for such use.
This zoning overlay is unique to these parcels; there are no other areas currently
zoned for such use.
(5) If applicable, the proposed change will contribute to redevelopment of an area in
accordance with an approved redevelopment plan.
The proposed change is consistent with City and County plans for redevelopment
in the area.
(6) The proposed change would adversely affect traffic patterns or congestion.
The proposed change is not expected to negatively impact traffic patterns or
congestion. The overlay is designed to strengthen transit connections, promote
micro mobility, and serve as an incubator for innovations in multimodal
transportation; this may include the integration of a dedicated mobility hub for
autonomous vehicles and future air mobility solutions.
(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 will not have a negative impact on the water, sewer or other
levels of service for public facilities within the City, each project will be evaluated
for concurrency as part of any redevelopment of the subject site.
(8) Whether the proposed change would have an adverse environmental impact on
the vicinity.
The uses allowed will not have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity.
Each project will be reviewed by the Miami -Dade County Division of Environmental
Resources Management, to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental
regulations.
(9) Whether the proposed change would adversely affect the health, safety, and
welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole.
The more intensive development allowed by the overlay is expected to enhance
safety and welfare within the surrounding area. Requirements will ensure that at
least 50% of the open space shall be accessible to the public. This includes parks,
plazas, water bodies, terraces, courtyards, arcades/colonnades, pedestrian paths,
and open-air transit platform areas improved for pedestrian comfort.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve an amendment to the Official
Zoning Map to apply the "Aventura Edge Subdistrict Overlay (MUC3)" to property
currently zoned "Medical Office District (MO)" and "Neighborhood Business District (B1)".
The subject area is generally located west of Biscayne Boulevard to East Dixie Highway
and south of NE 209 Street to NE 206 Street. This amendment applies to 42 parcels,
further identified in Exhibit "1".
THE REQUEST
The proposed Aventura Edge Subdistrict Overlay (MUC3) is intended to advance the
goals of the City's comprehensive planning framework by reinforcing the Metropolitan
Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map. Applying this overlay to
those properties identified by Exhibit "1" will ensure that areas within the Rapid Transit
Zone and within a mile of the Metropolitan Urban Center accommodate higher levels of
density, intensity, and a diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment. This
approach reflects the characteristics of primary activity centers and promotes a vibrant
urban center that supports economic development, pedestrian connectivity, and high -
quality design standards.

(Miami Dade County)
The proposed Aventura Edge Subdistrict Overlay (MUC3) advances the intent of the
Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use. It establishes a
zoning framework within a mile of the transit center to support higher -density housing and
urban mobility facilities.
Staff reviewed the proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map pursuant to the review
standards of the Land Development Regulations contained in Section 31-77(f) of the City
Code as follow:
(1) The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
Policy 2.2 of the City's Comprehensive Plan specifies that the Metropolitan Urban
Center (MUC) designation as described and adopted within the Miami Dade
County Comprehensive Master Development Plan may be applied as an overlay
within the Business and Office land use category.
(2) The proposed zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning
designation(s) and existing uses.
The proposed overlay is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning
designations and existing uses. These parcels involve a variety of commercial and
entertainment uses with several retail plazas and hotels in addition to community
facilities.
(3) The subject property is physically suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed
district.
The overlay is situated in an area well -served by multiple transportation modes,
making it ideally suited for the proposed mix of uses.
(4) There are sites available in other areas currently zoned for such use.
This zoning overlay is unique to these parcels; there are no other areas currently
zoned for such use.
(5) If applicable, the proposed change will contribute to redevelopment of an area in
accordance with an approved redevelopment plan.
The proposed change is consistent with City and County plans for redevelopment
in the area.
(6) The proposed change would adversely affect traffic patterns or congestion.
The proposed change is not expected to negatively impact traffic patterns or
congestion. The overlay is designed to strengthen transit connections, promote
micro mobility, and serve as an incubator for innovations in multimodal
transportation; this may include the integration of a dedicated mobility hub for
autonomous vehicles and future air mobility solutions.
3
(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 will not have a negative impact on the water, sewer or other
levels of service for public facilities within the City, each project will be evaluated
for concurrency as part of any redevelopment of the subject site.
(8) Whether the proposed change would have an adverse environmental impact on
the vicinity.
The uses allowed will not have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity.
Each project will be reviewed by the Miami -Dade County Division of Environmental
Resources Management, to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental
regulations.
(9) Whether the proposed change would adversely affect the health, safety, and
welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole.
The more intensive development allowed by the overlay is expected to enhance
safety and welfare within the surrounding area. Requirements will ensure that at
least 50% of the open space shall be accessible to the public. This includes parks,
plazas, water bodies, terraces, courtyards, arcades/colonnades, pedestrian paths,
and open-air transit platform areas improved for pedestrian comfort.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve an amendment to Chapter 31,
"Land Development Regulations" of the City Code of Ordinances by amending Section
31-145, "Town Center Zoning Districts", to permit deviations to the prescribed mixed -use
ratio through conditional use approval.
It is also recommended that the City Commission approve general housekeeping
amendments to the following Sections of the City of Aventura Code of Ordinances:
1. Chapter 30 — ENVIRONMENT
ARTICLE V. — TERMITE DAMAGE PROTECTION
Sec. 30-180. — Termites; development of land; annual inspection.

Sec. 31-71. — Procedures of general applicability.
3. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
ARTICLE V. - DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES
Sec. 31-78. — Subdivision plat approval.
4. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS

6. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
ARTICLE VII. - USE REGULATIONS
Sec. 31-150. — Specific use regulations
7. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
ARTICLE XI. - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF GENERAL APPLICABILITY
Sec. 31-232. — Subdivision and Site Development design standards.
BACKGROUND
City staff periodically reviews the City's Code of Ordinances to address any necessary
corrections, clarifications, or recommendations for improvement.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
The specific proposed amendments to the Code of Ordinances are provided in the
attached proposed ordinance.
THE MIXED -USE RATIO REQUEST
The purpose of Town Center districts is to support compact mixed -use developments that
increases land use efficiency, promote housing diversity and reduce transportation costs.
Mixed use buildings within these districts are intended to reinforce or establish vibrant
neighborhoods and encourage walking and biking. These districts are also intended to
enhance community well-being by encouraging physical activity, alternative
transportation options and greater social interaction while elevating community character
and high -quality urban design. Additionally, shared parking strategies are encouraged,
further improving land use efficiency.
To achieve these goals, a balanced mix of residential and non-residential uses that
generate activity throughout the day is critical. However, the appropriate ratio of
residential to commercial uses can vary significantly depending on the specific context,
location and development pattern of each area. Current regulations pose the following
ratio requirements:
• TC1 and TC2 districts require a mix within a range of 3:1 to 1:3
• TC3 requires a mix between 3.5:1 and 1:3.5
• No specific ratio is established for TC4 or TC5
In practice, these fixed ratios may not always reflect the needs of a specific development
site. Therefore, in order to increase flexibility and encourage context -sensitive
development that aligns with the intent of the Town Center districts, it is recommended
that the Land Development Regulations be revised to allow conditional use
approval for developments that don't meet the prescribed ratios.
Rather than requiring a variance, the conditional use process will provide a more
appropriate and proactive mechanism to review these cases. This approach will help
accommodate evolving market conditions and local needs while maintaining the vision of
the Town Center planning framework.
BACKGROUND
The City's Land Development Regulations (the "LDRs") Section 31-145 together with the
Town Center (TC1) District mixed structures ratio requirements were approved under
Ordinance 99-09.
Town Center Marine (TC2) District was incorporated to the City's Zoning Map upon its
adoption under Ordinance 99-10.
Town Center Neighborhood (TC3) District, was created and approved under Ordinance
2013-12, including the prescribed mixed -use ratios.

standards of the Land Development Regulations contained in Section 31-77(g) of the City
Code.
1. The proposed amendment is legally required.
The proposed amendment is legally required to implement the requested revision to

Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Town Center land use designation as
