BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency (the "SEOPW CRA") authorizes the amendment of the
SEOPW Development of Regional Impact ("DRI" )/ Increment 3 credits.
The Southeast Overtown/Park West Development of Regional Impact ("DRI") was created to
address the critical concerns of housing, economic development, and the elimination and
prevention of slum and blight within the SEOPW CRA area. DRIB act as credits against impact
fees in that they implement a procedure that credits a development order fee towards an impact
fee imposed by local ordinance for the same need.
The DRI includes a specified development program for development within the east and west
sides of the DRI.
Since the implementation of Increment III of the DRI, the SEOPW CRA has found that it is
necessary to adjust the development program between the east and west sides of the DRI in order
to appropriately encourage and facilitate the development of housing and employment
opportunities within the DRI
Kimley-Horn and Associates has prepared a memorandum summarizing the analysis of the
proposed rebalancing of the SEOPW CRA DRI program. The analysis was based on the
information provided by the City's Planning Department and the SEOPW CRA staff, an
demonstrates the need for rebalancing as depicted in Table 3 of the attached Exhibit A.
This rebalances surplus credits to land uses with a deficit in credits and identifies credits needed
for future anticipated development.

Date: April 12, 2021
Subject: Southeast Overtown/Park West Development of Regional Impact (SEOPW DRI)
Overall Development Credit Rebalancing Analysis
The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the proposed rebalancing of the Southeast
Overtown/Park West (SEOPW) Development of Regional Impact (DRI) development program using
the land use exchange rates defined in the governing documentation from Increment III of the DRI. The
current development program balances within the DRI include both surpluses and overages of
development credits with the land uses. The land use exchange rates from Increment III of the DRI
were utilized to convert development credits from land uses with surplus credits to land uses with
overages in credits while identifying credits needed for future anticipated development. The following
sections summarize the rebalancing of the Southeast Overtown/Park West development program.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The current status of development credits within the SEOPW DRI was provided by City of Miami staff.
Table 1 summarizes the development credit balances for each land use within the SEOPW DRI. As
Table 1 indicates, there is an overage of 741,785 square feet of office space, 280,521 square feet of
retail space, and 18,123 square feet of conference center within the west section of the SEOPW DRI.
There are surpluses for all land uses within the east section of the SEOPW DRI.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Based on input from City of Miami and SEOPW Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) staff, the
land use exchange rates were utilized to rebalance the development credits between land uses in order
to eliminate overages in the west section of the SEOPW DRI and provide development credit surpluses
for future anticipated development. The exchanges are summarized below:
• 2,115,216 square feet was exchanged to Office (west) from Office (east), Hotel (east), and
Hotel (west)
• 778,318 square feet of Retail (west) was exchanged from Retail (east), Hotel (west), and
Residential (west)
• 318 Hotel (west) rooms were exchanged from Residential (west)
• 347 Residential (east) units and 6,432 Residential (west) units were exchanged from Office
(east), Office (west), Hotel (east), and Conference Center (east)
• 118,123 square feet of Conference Center (west) was exchanged from Hotel (west) and
Conference Center (east)

Note that the proposed exchanges involve allocating development credits between the east and west
sections of the DRI. It is our understanding that legislative action may be required to officially implement
these transfers.
CONCLUSION
The SEOPW DRI development program was rebalanced using the land use exchange rates defined in
the governing documentation from Increment III of the DRI. The land use exchange rates were utilized
to convert development credits from land uses with surplus credits to land uses with overages while
identifying credits needed for future anticipated development. Based on input from City of Miami and
SEOPW CRA staff, the proposed rebalanced development program includes an increase of 1,460,653
square feet of Office (west), 778,318 square feet of Retail (west), 347 Residential (east) units, 3,701
Residential (west) units, and 118,123 square feet of Conference Center (west) and a reduction of
2,233,884 square feet of Office (east), 430,000 square feet of Retail (east), 1,752 Hotel (east) rooms,
117 Hotel (west) rooms, and 200,000 square feet of Conference Center (east).

Suited for Success
Grant Proposal
CRA
FY 2020-21
The mission of Suited for Success (SFS) is to promote the economic independence of
disadvantaged men, women and youth by providing employment skills training, professional
business attire for job interviews, a network of support and the career development tools to
help them thrive in work and in life. We strive to provide assistance for the unemployed and
under -employed adults and youth in the Overtown community helping them gain the
professional skills they will need to find employment, accelerate their job search and build
confidence through ongoing training sessions, one-on-one career coaching and networking
in a supportive environment.
History of Suited for Success
Founded in 1994, Suited for Success answered a vital need for career -building initiatives
after welfare reform was instituted. The Welfare Reform Act in 1996 set time restrictions for
recipients on public assistance, which in turn forced heads of households into low -wage
jobs. Because of the rapid increase in the number of poor, working adults, they had become
a much underserved segment of society. Through our programs and services, Suited for
Success was able to answer the needs of a growing, poverty-stricken workforce. Suited for
Success has seen over 60,000 individuals since inception through its men's, women's
(Dress for Success Miami), military veteran (Vets for Success), and youth programs.
Program Description
As a part of our program, job training classes are held in Overtown as well as at partnering
agencies throughout Miami -Dade County. Our skills training course prepares clients on a
variety of topics: Managing the job search; Interviewing skills; Proper dress; Resume
writing; Financial literacy; Mock interviews. Once training has been completed, clients are
given an appointment to receive business attire for their job interview.
Clients arrive at SFS by referral only from over 125 social service agencies, including
homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and welfare -to -work job training centers.
These partnering agencies refer clients to us while adhering to our strict referral criteria. In
an average year, over 1,000 clients will be served by SFS. Approximately 50% of our
clients are African -American, 45% are Hispanic and 5% are defined as "other" which
includes Asian -American, Native American and those who don't define their background.
Last year alone we provided services to 1,066 clients of which more than 370 adults and
youth came from the Overtown community.
Upon completion of the employment skills training course, clients receive an appointment at !E2
the SFS office to get them ready for their interviews. Trained volunteers provide one-on-one 3
help and select a wardrobe appropriate for a job interview. Our volunteers are trained to
gently guide the clients through the selection process, making recommendations and m
educating them on workplace expectations. L,
In 2019, we launched a new Mobile Career Center program, made possible with a custom
fitted RV donated by Simply Healthcare. With the new unit, we are able to take our suiting
program to our partner training locations and provide those clients with their suitings on the
same day, streamlining our process and getting clients interview -ready even faster. In the
first four months of the program, we served 46 individuals with the unit.
Packet Pg. 24
3.2.a
Each client, be it man or woman, who comes to SFS receives personal attention and is
treated with dignity and respect. Clients are encouraged to discuss their upcoming
interview, professional presentation, child-care plans, and other concerns. Creating a
positive environment for the client, SFS strives to stimulate self-confidence helping clients
overcome the fears associated with job interviewing.
Suited for Success wants to build upon our 25 successful years of providing programs that
support economic and social development to low-income clients who are entering or
returning to the workforce. When we assist a client with skills to enable them to feel more
confident in their job search and ultimately find employment we are helping a future
generation into systematic change. Everyday we work towards getting men, women and
their children out of poverty and into self-sufficiency by providing a cadre of services to
move them into self-sufficiency.
Over the past several months, we have made necessary updates to our programs and
operations in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our office and services were put on hold in
March 2020, and staff began working remotely. In May 2020, we launched our first virtual
workshop and opened our Virtual Career Center, providing one-on-one services to
jobseekers across South Florida. Virtual workshops have continued weekly, and have
garnered positive feedback, and we plan to incorporate this even after our in -person
services resume. With unemployment spiking across industries due to business closures
(both temporary and permanent) and furloughs, we opened these virtual services to the
wider community of job seekers and case managers to address this urgent need.
Operationally, we are reopening slowly and with added health and safety measures. We
deep cleaned and sanitized our office, and equipped staff to work remotely. As we reopen,
limited staff will be in the office to enable adequate social distancing. As we prepare to suit
clients again, we have created new guidelines for client and staff safety, including limiting
the number of clients seen per day, closing our dressing rooms, COVID surveys and
temperature checks, providing hand sanitizer, masks and disposable socks, disinfecting
between clients, and regular deep cleaning and sanitation of the entire office. We have also
implemented new contactless donation procedures for safer intake of donated items.
Suited for Success is requesting that the CRA consider our request for $190,000 per
year to fund our program for 2020-21. This funding will enable us to continue our
community training workshops, including the new virtual training, and to bolster our
outreach efforts to the community. We would also like to be considered for a two-year
renewal.
With funding from the CRA we will be able to continue to meet the demands of the many M
people and agencies that call upon us for assistance. This past year we have had referrals 9'
from the following agencies located within the CRA boundaries: Transitions, Inc., Overtown
Youth Center, YWCA, Camillus House, Urgent Inc., Better Way of Miami, NANA, Overtown
Business Resource Center, MDC Hospitality Training Institute, Chapman Partnership, m
Booker T. Washington Senior High School and Touching Miami with Love. These are only a
partial list of the 125 agencies that refer clients to our office throughout the year.
We have established relationships with Amazon, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, and
Capital One. In addition, Suited for Success is a member of the Overtown Children and
Youth Coalition, working with community partners to enhance the services in Overtown for
the underserved youth.

Our location in The Culmer Center, 1600 NW 3rd Avenue, in the heart of Overtown gives us
access to nearby space and training rooms which enhance our ongoing training programs.

SECTION A TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
Narrative of Human Resources of Miami, Inc.
Human Resources of Miami, Inc. is the most qualified and the best choice for this project, mainly
because we are located in the Southeast Overtown/Park West area and have been here for many
years. We did not move to the area to take advantage of any governmental benefits, we are here
solely to serve the community. Originally, in 1999, we helped this area by registering more than 300
women who wanted to work but could not find employment nor possessed the skills to interview.
Human Resource Staffing assisted the young ladies with training and placement with entities that
needed massive numbers of employees or waitress, custodians for hotels, and landscaping.
We are a part of the community through our cooperation with several faith -based organizations, and
visited apartments and local stores, going door to door, offering assistance to the dwellers, both
spiritually and with counseling.
Through our relationship with McDonald's Playworld Community Development, Inc., a community -
based corporation, we have walked the streets, been in and out of One Stop/Workforce, distributing
flyers and enrolling teenagers in school, placing them in daycares for "free care" for the children of
the teenagers, and we have provided counseling to pregnant women in the shelters located in the
Overtown area, as well. We can be relied upon to provide services to this area, because we have,
and often without reimbursement or financial resources from anyone.
Another reason why Human Resources of Miami, Inc. is uniquely qualified to provide street cleaning
and maintenance services to the Overtown area, is because both the management and leadership of
the company, were born in Miami, Florida, and lived in this community during some stage of their
lives — they either attended school, attended church, rode the bus, walked through the streets, and
survived, not overcome by the challenges of this uniquely burdened community. Again, we are a
part of this community.
During the years of 2005 thru 2010, most of Human Resources of Miami, Inc.'s efforts were directed
towards developing a product that the union workers of Miami Dade County School Board would be
able to provide at a low cost, to cover both health and other risks that this level of employee faces.
After many attempts, this effort was not completed, since the primary person (my husband) passed in
2010. Thus, as we regrouped in 2010, we focused more on our original mission of assisting the low-
income, deficiently skilled worker, with finding employment in a highly competitive and complex
society, such as Miami, Florida.
Since 2010, this contract, Overtown Enhancement Team Services Pilot Program, is consistent with
our game plan of self -empowerment by the community. By hiring eleven (11) employees from the
Overtown community, there will be a ripple effect experienced throughout the community, not to
mention, the increased level of self-esteem, pride, confidence, and ability to contribute to each
individual family's household. Human Resources of Miami, Inc. would like to be a part of this
endeavor.

SCOPE OF PROJECT
1. Oversee the marketing and recruitment of participants to serve as trainees in the Program.
There will be eleven (1 crew manager and 10 crew members) positions. We will have three on -
call crew members to assist with time requested off, no shows, and unexpected absences. Each
training period will last for twelve (12) months, for combined classroom and paid work
experience training. During the term of the contract, twenty-six (26) life -skills and direct -skills
training sessions will be conducted by the Crew Manager.
2. Conduct pre -registration and registration services consisting of drug testing, professional
development guidance, and evaluation sessions for all program participants ("Trainees").
3. Provide counseling services for the trainees — career, life-style, spiritual, and general.
4. Prepare and administer a certified on-the-job training curriculum, consisting of classroom
training hours and paid work experience. Curriculum will include training in custodial
services, landscaping, property maintenance and development of employability skills.
5. Provide job referral and job placement services for Trainees and for those program
participants that have graduated from the training program ("Graduates").
6. Coordinate referral services for continued training in the field of landscaping.
7. Conduct, evaluate and provide statistical reports on post -graduation evaluation sessions.
8. Coordinate and manage professional development training and job referrals for Trainees and
for those program participants that have graduated from the training program ("Graduates").
9. Manage operations and maintenance of equipment and tools funded under the Program.
10. Document ongoing training process with photos and requisite paperwork
11. Document clean-up of the designated areas within the Redevelopment Area.
12 Document attendance and participation of all Trainees.
Our Enhancements or Changes to Scope of the Proiect for the FYE 2019/2020
Our enhancement to the Overtown Beautification Project will be the following:
1. Expand the function of the Crew Manager, to include more community outreach, counseling, job
fairs, externships, internships, and job placement for 50% of the time employed and managing the o
crew the balance of the time, serving as the liaison between the Contract Manager and CRA.
2. Empower the position of Crew Leader/Field Supervisor with the skills, ability and authority to
manage the crew, as we nurture a second position to have supervisory responsibilities, serving as the
Crew Supervisor/Truck Driver.
3. Increase hands on exposure to landscaping, environmental, and construction skills for the entire 3
team, by providing externships with Human Resources of Miami's Landscaping Division and other
entities, in the Overtown community, organized and supervised by the Crew Manager. m
4. Expand the support services to the team, which will include one (1) hour weekly training, such as
budgeting, credit counseling, drug -testing, life -skills counseling, and parenting skills, so that all
trainees can transition from this part-time job to a more permanent, full-time employment within
other parts of the community. The crew will also have one (1) hour per month scheduled for U_
community services, to assist with developing within them a desire to help the community and
themselves, as we are training them to be leaders, supervised by the Crew Manager. E

4. Applicants not hired will be maintained as a separate pool of individuals, whom we will counsel
and perform assessments of their career options and their unmet needs socially, such as housing,
medical, drug and alcohol dependency, educational deficiencies, to name a few. These persons will
be referred to the appropriate community services for assistance. They will also serve as the "on
call" data base for daily placement during the duration of the contract, if the originally hired
individuals leave, quit, or are terminated. We estimate that we will assist (30) persons annually.
5. After completion of the program, all crew members should transition to external positions,
preferably, full-time, and/or educational and vocational options, so that a new crew can become a
part of the CRA Overtown Beautification team. Our goal is to train/hire, at a minimum,
annually, fourteen (14) persons, eleven (11) per the contract and three (3) on call to address
absences for the daily project needs.
CONCLUSION
Human Resources of Miami/Overtown Beautification Team is requesting $350, 000,
which will allow us to maintain the activity level of 30 hours per employee and 35
hours for the crew manager. We will employ 11 persons with 3 alternates, for a total
of 14 individuals. This amounts to a total of 365 hours weekly and 18,980 hours per
the contract term. We will also assist21 otherpersons with community referrals and
job placement. The costper participant for the entire cost of $350,000, therefore, is
$18.44 per participant hour for the eleven (11) persons hired. Our goal will be to
assist 30 persons in total annually.
Human Resources of Miami/Overtown Beautification Team is requesting a five year
renewal period to perform the contract is much less than the contribution to the
community and residents, enhancing first, the environment, the employee (self-respect
and self-worth), the economic input to the immediate Overtown environment, allowing
the employee/trainees to spend cash to spend in the community with their families at
the grocery stores, rental expenses, and general shopping. In general, the trainees
will be receiving a fully -loaded hourly rate of $15.28 per hour, which include their
direct cost and fringe benefits.
Per CRA goals and objectives, Human
Resources of Miami, Inc. will enhance career
and personal development for each
eemployee/trainee, and will produce
responsible citizens to live and work in the
Overtown community!!

INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Board Chair Jeffrey Watson Date: July 15, 2021 File: 9398
and Members of the CRA Board
Subject: Resolution authorizing a grant for
$150,000.00 to HAL for cultural
programming at the Historic Ward
From: Cornelius Shiver
Executive Director
Enclosures: File # 9398 -Backup
BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") authorizes the issuance of a grant to
Norwood Consulting, Inc. (doing business as Hampton Art Lovers "HAL"), in an amount not to
exceed $150,000.00 for the first year, with the option to renew for one additional one-year
period, subject to funding availability, to underwrite costs associated with producing cultural
programming and art exhibitions at the Historic Ward Rooming House for 2021-2023. hi
addition, the attached Resolution authorizes HAL to carry over unused budget funds from fiscal
year 2020- 2020 for use in fiscal year 2021 — 2022.
The SEOPW CRA has been funding HAL for the past 3 years. Since 2018, HAL has been the
proud operator of the Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery located in Overtown at 249 NW
9th Street, Miami, Florida 33136 and owned by the SEOPW CRA. The Historic Ward Rooming
House functions as a centerpiece of the Historic Overtown Culture Entertainment District Master
Plan. Built in the era of Overtown's historic heyday, when it was known as "Colored Town," the
Ward Rooming House stands as a tribute to the history of the oldest historic black community in
the City of Miami. As one of the few remaining buildings of its time, a seemingly ordinary
rooming house becomes significant for the larger role it serves in preserving the history and
architecture of Miami's black community.
HAL engages the community through the arts, by hosting a traditional gallery alongside
community events. HAL has been covered numerous times by the Miami Herald, Miami Times
and National Media. HAL has hosted national personalities like Author and Professor Michael
Eric Dyson and the General President of Alpha Phi Alpha and Chairman of the Council of
Presidents of the National Pan -Hellenic Council, Dr. Everett Ward. HAL's exhibitions included
the HAL curated show of the private art collection of Maya Angelou.
Packet Pg. 64

In addition, HAL presents a curated panoramic experience annually at the Historic Ward
Rooming Housing for Soul Basel which is during the week of Miami's Art Basel. That particular
experience is named "Point Comfort", after the place in Virginia where the first Africans came
ashore in America. In 2019, Point Comfort showcased the works of contemporary and
appreciated artists such as Ernie Barnes, Leroy Campbell, Basil Watson, BUCK!, Phil Shung,
Gil Ashby, Krystal Hart, Joel Gresham, and Musa Hixson.
Due to a reduction in programming as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, HAL has a surplus of
funds in budget that can be carried over to fiscal year 2021 -2022. The carryover funds would be
used for the full return of the Point Comfort Art Fair.

Hampton Art Lovers / Historic Ward Rooming House S.E. Overtown / Park West CRA
Program Proposal and Proposed Budget 2021-2122
About Hampton Art Lovers (HAL)
Hampton Art Lovers' mission is to accentuate the inspirational unifying
m and enriching aspects of African -American Fine Art in new and old
settings. We are passionate supporters of Hampton University's
longstanding commitment to African -American art, the Hampton
HAMPTON ART LOVERS University Museum Collection, and the International Review of African
American (Published by the University since 1976).
Hampton Art Lovers honors the heart and soul of African -American fine artists and make
their work discoverable by anyone who loves art Hampton Art Lovers believes that
understanding culture increasingly vital in the modern world. We live in a knowledge
economy where demonetization is rampant It is a world in which technology can render
previously expensive and/or inaccessible products and services much cheaper -or even free.
Intense, experiential learning is the currency of the knowledge economy and lovers of art do
this naturally. Hampton Art Lovers believe that through culture and education we can
improve our communities and communities all over the world.
Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery
Since 2018, Hampton Art Lovers has been the proud operators of the Historic Ward
Rooming House Gallery, owned by the S.E. Overtown / Park West CRA and the centerpiece
of the Historic Overtown Culture Entertainment District Master Plan. Built in the era of
Overtown's historic heyday, when it was known as "Colored Town," the Ward Rooming
House stands as a tribute to the history of the oldest historic black community in the City of
Miami. Its location on NW 9th Street integrated it into the epicenter of Overtown's social life
and business district. As one of the few remaining buildings of its time, a seemingly ordinary
rooming house becomes significant for the larger role it serves in preserving the history and
architecture of Miami's black community. The future of the Ward Rooming House looks
promising because it is included in current Overtown preservation efforts for community
development and rehabilitation.
HAL/CRA Partnership
Our partnership began fully in November 2018, with our Elizabeth Catlett show at the
Ward and the Ernie Barnes Show at the OPAC (Art Basel 2018). We then extended the
partnership through Black History Month. Based on the successes that followed, we
mutually decided that a year long partnership was sustainable. Today, we are thankful for
your investment in HAL to provide culture and programming at the Ward Rooming House.
Our capacity has grown and we've shown results, we used your dollars wisely. We have
been covered numerous times by the Miami Herald, Miami Times and National Media.
We've hosted national personalities like Author and Professor Michael Eric Dyson and the
General President of Alpha Phi Alpha and Chairman of the the Council of Presidents of the
National Pan -Hellenic Council, Dr. Everett Ward. Our exhibitions included the HAL curated
show of the private art collection of Maya Angelou.
Our programming engages many facets of our community. We've created strategic
partnerships with community based organizations and corporate partnerships showcasing
the Ward Rooming House Gallery as place that all are welcome. Hampton Art Lovers

engages the community through the arts, we are a traditional gallery but we also make the
effort to develop shows purely for exhibition. We have a public and a private mission which
makes our relationship with the CRA the quintessential public/private partnership.
So many people have visited the gallery and by doing so are reintroduced to Overtown, and
its resurgent development led by your agency. These partnerships helped to stretch your
investments. We've produced six shows plus our Art Basel Fair (Point Comfort). Although
our grant last year only required four shows, we wanted to do more and we did so within
budget.
COVID PANDEMIC - Suspension of Programming
COVID affected the lives of the entire global community. Hampton Art Lovers suspended
operation in March until July. We opened up a show in July, but we held no events and it
was by appointment only. We followed all the relevant federal, state and local COVID and
CDC Guidelines. We even partnered with Johnson & Johnson to promote clinical trial
participation for vaccine research. Because of COVID we are requesting that we carry over
our remaining budget into the fiscal year 2021-2022, thus increasing our $125,000 grant for
21-22 by the carry-over amount. Our goal is to use the carryover amount for the full return
of Point Comfort Art Fair.
Point Comfort Art Fair (2019)
Hampton Art Lovers Present a curated panoramic experience at Miami Art Week/Art
Basel/Soul Basel at the Historic Ward Rooming House in Overtown. The experience is
named "Point Comfort", after the place in Virginia where the first Africans came ashore in
America. Point Comfort showcased the works of contemporary and appreciated artists such
as Ernie Barnes, Leroy Campbell, Basil Watson, BUCK!, Phil Shung, Gil Ashby, Krystal Hart,
Joel Gresham and Musa Hixson. On display in the gallery and in a temperature -controlled
tent attached to Historic Ward Rooming House. The Art Fair also hosted events, including
our Indaba Artists Conversations, Music and Cultural Nightlife Events. Point Comfort was an
enormous success, and community driven with free access to local residents. We partnered
with Essence Magazine, Hennessy, Wilkie D. Ferguson Bar Association, Concerned African
Women, Florida New Majority; just to name a few of our corporate and community
partners. We are a proud partner of Soul Basel. Soul Basel was formed to ensure that Black
Art and Culture has a place and a home in Miami during Art Basel/Miami Art Week. Soul

space, 1,044 sq. ft. 4. A Retail T-Shirt Shop at 978 sq,ft. and 336 sq.ft service area.
This proposal is based on the project design sketch layout supplied by the client and the
discussions at a preliminary meeting and initial site visit to the project site. The architects
will conduct an initial programming phase to verify the required square footages and
establish actual required rooms and space relationships and adjacencies.
This is a major full buildout and will require electrical, mechanical/HVAC, plumbing,
fire protection as well as specialty restaurant equipment needs, (grease trap, exhaust
systems etc.) This proposal does not include the actual exhaust hood design drawings.
Scope of Basic Services
The architects will conduct on site visits to the future tenants existing offsite facilities
to help ascertain a better understanding of their current working methods and space
requirements. The architects will retain MEP engineers as part of the design team. The
design team will prepare design and construction documents for the complete project
described above. The architects will use the existing condition drawings supplied by the
client to make new background drawings -floor plans, elevations and sections. The project
will be developed with the clients using a standard phased review and approval process.
This will include programming, preliminary/schematic design, design development and
construction documents. The design team will also coordinate with specialty restaurant
equipment consultants and providers. All drawings will meet the requirements of the
latest edition of the Florida Building Code. Once the project drawings are complete and
are submitted for permitting the design team will address all plan processing comments
from the local building and permitting authorities until complete plan approval has been
achieved. However the initial plan submittal and day to day processing is by the client,
contractor or plan expeditor. The scope of design services will be completed in a time
frame to be approved by the client. Deliverable drawings shall include:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Graham Ross Towers represents a unique community development opportunity in Overtown. The
Historic Mount Zion Baptist church has been a staple of the community for more than 100 years, and
this development would be the capstone on their long and storied history.
The proposed development is an eleven -story mixed -use building comprised of 122 elderly affordable
housing units, and 5,000 square feet of ground floor retail. The subject property will contain 208 parking
spaces within the first four stories, most of which will be available for public use. Amenities will include
covered parking, an exterior deck, and multiple common spaces.
The property will feature 12 studios, 96 one -bedrooms, and 14 two -bedrooms. 70% of the units will be
set aside for residents making 60% or less of the area median income, 15% set aside for residents making
30% or less of the area median income and the remaining 15% set aside for residents making 80% less
of the area median income. We will be applying for 9% Tax Credit financing and potentially SAIL funds
from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation.
