Developers Refile Plans For Civica Center Phase II 

On December 21st, Miami's Urban Development Review Board will review new updated plans for the second phase of The Civica Center. The plans will highlight a redirection of plans from office space to residential. Phase II plans show a 27-story residential tower that will feature 342 units. Previous plans called for a 22-story office structure to be redeveloped on an existing surface-level parking lot behind Phase I. 

The filing with Miami's Urban Development Review Board that developers wish to see approved are stated below. 

“Phase II Warrant Modification: The Applicant seeks minor modifications to the approved plans consistent with the criteria in Section 7.1.3.5.c of Miami 21. The proposed modifications result from the change from office to residential uses. The revised plan proposes 342 dwelling units, of which 21 of the units will be secured through the City’s Transfer of Development Density (“TDD”) program. Notably, the project’s overall Floor Lot Ratio (FLR) was reduced from the approved 7.8 FLR or 731,472 square feet to an FLR of 6.9 or 645,256 square feet. The overall façade changed slightly to accommodate balconies for residential uses, but the massing and overall aesthetics remain in line with the quality and feel of the prior approval. Notably, the overall height of the roof structure has increased slightly from 309’-9” ASML to 310’ ASML but, in accordance with Section 7.1.3.5.c.4, does not exceed the 5’ or 5% permitted an increase in height. Notably, the proposed plans provide 27 stories, whereas the approved plans provide 22 stories. This increase in stories comes from a decrease in the floor to ceiling height per story resulting from the change from office use to residential. Notwithstanding, the overall height increased by less than 1’, consistent with Miami 21 regulations.”
