Rezoning Application 7031 SW 62 Avenue (Larkin Community Hospital) Folio #09-4025-027 0010 Janllary8,2013 Page30f4 Compatibility of Use: The site is the main hospital facility and a part of the Larkin Community Hospital campus as shown on Plan Sheet 2 (Larkin Campus Plan). The site is adjacent to other Larkin owned property and is surrounded by other medical office, commercial office, and parking uses. The site is approximately two blocks from the Metrorail transit station and is within walking distance of the community center, a senior citizen center, a library and an urban downtown. The property also is located within 500 feet from existing high density residential developments. The existing future land use map category is currently (TODD), however the applicant currently has a FLUM amendment request pending before the City Commission to have this changed to the Hospital (H) category. Public Facilities: This is a preexisting hospital facility. Parks / Recreation Concurrency No impact. Schools Impact No impact. Wastewater (Sewer) The applicant will be required to obtain approval from the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department for any proposed development on this site. Transportation/Traffic A development in this area of the City is not subject to transportation concurrency. Most of the City of South Miami is within the County established Transportation Concurrency Exception Area. Comprehensive Plan: The proposed use is compatible with the recent text amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan that reestablished the "H" hospital land use category on November 1,2011 (Ordinance 37-11-2110). As previously noted, this property has a companion map amendment application that is under review by the City Commission, to change the land use designation from TODD to H. Staff Recommendation: This is an existing hospital facility that is nonconforming by the current zoning district. Staff recommends amending the official zoning map changing the zoning district for this property from TODD MU-S to H.
