("Applicant") is requesting a change to the Zoning Atlas for the whole property located at 399 NE 82 Terrace, Miami, Florida ("Property") from 73-0" Sub -Urban Transect — Open to 74-L" General Urban Transect — Limited. The proposed amendment contains approximately 2.63 acres. The Property is legally described in Attachment 1 of this report. RECOMMENDATION Pursuant to Miami 21 Code, Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114 ("Miami 21"), as amended, the Department of Planning recommends approval of the rezone request based upon the facts and findings in this staff report. C. BACKGROUND Property The Property is located along the south bank of the Little River, at the northern border of the City of Miami. The property has remained unimproved for many years. There have been attempts to develop the property, as recently as 2007 when the prior owner of the property rezoned the property from R-1 to R-3 under the previous zoning code, Zoning Code 11000. Those attempts however did not result in any development taking place. The Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, currently located on City -owned property along the 79 St Causeway, purchased the Property in 2020 for the purpose of developing a permanent wildlife rescue on land owned by the nonprofit organization. In planning for the development, the organization has reached out to the surrounding neighborhood association and obtained support for the applications.

The Covenant contained the following conditions: a) "Provide one vehicular access from North East Fourth Avenue into an internal drive to the project and to serve as the access point of all units. If requested by the Fire Department for the life safety needs of the community, a "break -away" metal exit may be provided for use by emergency vehicles only. b) Provide four (4) units within the affordability range of workforce housing as identified by Miami -Dade County. c) Provide a "look -out" to the Little River Canal, which will be submitted to the Oakland Grove Homeowners Association for design input. d) Provide a tree mitigation and relocation plan. e) Provide a sidewalk as part of the project on the east side of NE fourth Avenue f) Provide the option of the traffic mitigation plan as presented by Richard Garcia and Associations to be implemented only by and at the request of the Oakland Grove Homeowners Association. g) Provide that the subject property shall not seek a change of zoning for a period of ten (10) years following the adoption date of the change of zoning from R-1 to Single Family Residential to R-2 Duplex Residential on May 24, 2007." The Covenant was recorded in the Official Records Book 25862, Pages 3302-3306, of the Public Records of Miami -Dade County, Florida. On May 6, 2022, based on the request by the Applicant, the Covenant Release Committee met to review the request to release the covenant and recommended its release (see Attachment 3). As of the date of this Rezone Analysis, the Applicant has submitted a request for a Special Appearance to the City Commission to for consideration on September 22, 2022 to have the covenant removed from the Property. In conjunction with this requested Rezoning, the Applicant has submitted a new Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, to better reflect their intended development program. The new proffered covenant includes the following restrictions: 1. Use Restrictions a. Community Facility Use: limited to serving the mission of the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, rehabilitating wild animals; no commercial business activities, including veterinary services for domesticated animals b. Maximum Capacity: housing of animals in care limited to building footprint and screened in pens, not more than 10 percent of the Property's Lot Area 2. Site Plan, Height, & Massing a. The Property will be developed substantially in accordance with site plans attached to the covenant Sociodemographic Analysis The subject property is located within Census Tract 12086001402. According to the American Community Survey (ACS), 5-year estimates (2016-2020), the median household income for the block group is $30,230, which is only 77 percent of the median household income for Miami Staff Analysis PZ-20-6058 399 N E 82 Ter —Page 4 NOTICE ($39,049) and 58 percent of the median household income for Miami -Dade Coun Th;5'a�om"" d,t °`"ee"eero" ,City& ean�wen un,annes:e<tonnmme ci m Mi , CE.

The Census Tract in which the Property is located has a total of 2,290 households with a total of 2,258 housing units. The percentage of families living in poverty in this Tract is 20.37 percent compared to the City at 19.32 percent and the County at 13.8 percent. The same ACS 5-year estimate data showed that approximately 82.97 percent of households in the subject Tract rented their homes, which is similar to those Tracts surrounding, with the exception of the Tract to the southeast containing the higher -income neighborhoods. The median rent for a unit in the Tract for the period between 2016-2020 was $936 which is in between the higher median rents along the bay and the lower median rents to the west adjacent to 1-95. It should be noted that this number doesn't reflect the likely impacts from the price increases seen in 2021 and 2022 as demand for housing swelled in South Florida.

ANALYSIS Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) Pursuant to Future Land Use Policy LU-1.6.3 of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan ("MCNP"), staff has reviewed the request for consistency with the goals, objectives, and policies of the MCNP. Staff reviewed the following relevant policies: Policy 1 Future Land Use Objective LU-1.5: "Land development regulations will protect the city's unique natural and coastal resources, its neighborhoods, and its historic and cultural heritage." Analysis 1 Article 3, Section 3.11 provides for the provision of views and access to the waterfront, regarding the portion of the Property along the Little River, the most ecologically sensitive area in the neighborhood. Additionally, the proposed T4-L Transect zone caps the maximum lot coverage at 60% of the lot area. The minimum 15 percent of the lot required to be dedicated to green/open space, in combination with the lot coverage maximum, provides ample space for on -site water management and green space opportunities. Maximizing these green and open sace dedications during site planning will further help to meet this goal. Finding 1 Consistent Policy 2 Coastal Management Objective CM-4.1: "Minimize the potential for loss of human life and the destruction of property from hurricanes."

Specifically, Future Land Use Objective LU-1.5 and Coastal Management Objective CM-4.1 both address important ecological considerations. Policy LU-1.5 considers ithe protection of ecological resources, such as the Little River, which would not be differently affected by the proposed amendment. Objective CM-4.1 considers the impact of storms and hurricanes on human life and property. This proposed amendment would provide for the opportunity for non-residential development, decreasing the chances of the loss of human life with fewer residents living within a vulnerable area, consistent with Objective CM-4.1. inding In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f)(1)(a) of Miami 21 Code, the requestec riteria 1 change in zoning is consistent. riteria 2 JArticle 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f.1.b. "The need and justification for the proposed change, lincluding changed or changing conditions that make the passage of the proposed change necessary." nalysis Staff reviewed the zoning Transects within a quarter -mile area of the Property and it found that only three percent of the area (just under three acres) has undergone any riteria 2 change of zoning within the last 10 years. While this is not a large amount of land, it is also similar in scale to the whole city, which on average has seen a rate of zoning changed at four percent since the adoption of Miami 21 over 10 years ago. The entire neighborhood may not be undergoing large-scale changes, but there are redevelopment pressures within close proximity to the Property. The area that was rezoned is situated nearby along the NE 82 Street corridor. Additionally, Miami Dade County is taking steps to develop the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit ("SMART') plan for mass transit development. The "Northeast Corridor" of the SMART plan includes a premium transit route from Downtown Miami to the Broward County line and northward, along the FEC Railroad. This study area will quickly gain attention along with the development of a Transit Oriented Development around a new station along the NE 82 Street/NE 79 Street corridors. The resulting commuter rail would generate demand for increased housing and employment opportunities, with new transportation infrastructure. The final 2020 Land Use Scenario and Visioning Planning report (Attachment 5) documents the land use and economic trends and preferred models for the whole corridor, including the NE 79 Street station area. The study also referenced a 2019 Transit Oriented Development study focusing on the Tri-Rail Coastal Link project (Attachment 6) conducted for the City of Miami to study station area development for a potential Tri-Rail route along the same right-of-way. The earlier Tri-Rail study did not make specific recommendations or this Property, but it did recommend land development regulation changes generally, to account for increased growth rates for demand in housing and economic activity. These included height increases and mixed -use allowances. The 2020 SMART Plan study had similar findings. This study examined potential growth trends Staff Analysis PZ-20-6058 399 N E 82 Ter —Page 9 GySY UP',,, NOTICE for station area planning, with consideration for modeling potential p tla1 da timelinesetdM in b hm m,ina ,`al"`°°°�°`a`"`°° Whim°,°`"°& at each given station.

Re PZ-20-6058 for the station area included land uses and zoning designations more 09/19/22 with a TOD, including increased height and intensity. , Finally, the projected impacts from sea level rise present particular challengesfo development along the Little River. Portions of the neighborhoods around the Little River are already experiencing regular effects from sea level rise, including sunny -day flooding during high tide events in the spring and the fall. The area experienced extensive flooding from Hurricane Irma in 2017, with projected sea level rise to exacerbate issues such as this. Coastal Management Policy CM-4.1.2 of the MCNP discourages the development of residential uses in locations vulnerable to stormwater impacts, including sites like this Property, saying "Continue to direct population away from the Coastal High Hazard Area..." which, due to its proximity, impacts this Property. inding lln accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f)(1)(b) of Miami 21 Code, the requested riteria 2 change in zoning is consistent. riteria 3 Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f.2. 'A change may be made only to the next intensity Transect Zone or by a Special Area Plan, and in a manner, which maintains the goal of this Miami 21 Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in lintensity and Building Height." nalysis IThe requested change of zoning from "73-0" Sub -Urban Transect Zone -Open to "74- riteria 3 L" General Urban Transect Zone -Open constitutes a successional rezone to the next higher Transect Zone, as depicted in the referenced table for successional zoning changes of Miami 21 Code, Sec. 7.1.2.8 (a)(3). Additionally, per the Applicant letter of intent, " In City's Parks & Open Space Master Plan (2007), the Property is identified for future development as the "Little River Preserve"— an open space on the western bank of the Little River that would enhance park access within the Little Haiti subarea. The development of this approximately 2.5- acre site in this manner was identified as a complement to the existing Oakland Grove Mini Park. To date, each proposal for the development of the Property has been inconsistent with the City's vision as articulated in the master plan. Pelican Harbor's acquisition of the Property represents an opportunity to align its mission with the City's vision in its master plan. The relocation of the organization's seabird station onto the Property will provide for the future development of a Community Facility that will operate in many respects like a park and open space. In addition, per the Applicant's initial analysis of the site's characteristics, it appears that the site is potentially rich in archaeological artifacts. The Applicant looks forward to incorporating the archaeological heritage of the site as part of its plan to activate the site for its current mission and broader community access." ding Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a of Miami 21 Code, the request to rezone is teria 3 consistent with the Miami 21 Code.

Please exercise caution with attachments and links * Javier, Apologies for replying to a two month old e-mail but for the benefit of Planning staff as they process your rezoning, I am in agreement with your analysis below. Since this is non-commercial, with no fee being charged for care of these animals it is more akin to a Community Facility and because these aren't pets or domesticated animals this more squarely fits as a Community Facility. Even if, orguendo, this were an Animal Clinic (a General Commercial Use), that is allowed by Right in the T4-L transect. A Community Facility is by Warrant, allowing for a review by Planning of the proposed use, assuming the change in zoning occurs. Daniel S. Goldberg, Esq.

As a follow-up to your discussion regarding Pelican Harbor's proposed use, I would like to share the following observations: 1. PHSS is a not -for -profit organization. We believe the use is Civic Use, specifically a Community Facility, as the use will be operated by not -for -profit organization for a community -oriented purpose or objective, specifically environmental education and the preservation of natural wildlife, which we believe can be fairly characterized as for the primary benefit/service to the general public. 2. While a primary element of PHSS' services is medical/surgical care for injured or sick animals, none of those services are offered in exchange for a fee or is PHSS soliciting business from members of the general public as a for -profit animal clinic would. We provide services to injured, native animals exclusively (not domesticated pets or animals). No fees are assessed/charged for the service rendered. 3. An Animal Clinic use is defined in s. 1.2 of the Code as follows: Animal Clinic: A facility which provides medical and surgical care for sick animals, including overnight boarding and may include overnight boarding for seven (7) or less seven or less healthyanimals, all within a completely enclosed building. See Section 1.1 (Commercial, General Commercial). Even assuming for the sake of argument that our use should be characterized as C NOTICE nature the concern around the limitation on the number of animals only applies to the bo Thlaeobm aloeed,mb Ih.&� drorapabkhea",g in ar<ortlana wM1h tlmelln1 let forth in the City & Mj_ Cw,.Th, appliwd, decision -ma i,g bwywill reNewlfle pbrm , at the pabec hearing t. r do le healthy animals. To clarify, we do not charge a fee to keep a healthy or sick animal overni recom enbatien or a f�neleecin., also offer boarding services to the general public. That said, the definition of an Animal Cli PZ-20-6058 contains no limitation on the number of sick animals that may be boarded overnight. The lima + 09/19/22 the boarding of up to seven (7) animals at such a Use applies only to healthy animals. I believe a f reading of the use requires such a distinction as when the definition of an Animal Kennel is read in pari materia with its clinic counterpart a failure to account for such a distinction would render the inclusion of the word "healthy' in the Animal Clinic Use definition a surplusage. Let me know when we can schedule a time to discuss this on Monday. I look forward to putting this issue to rest with your help. Sincerely, Javier JAVIER E. FERNANDEZ, ESQ.

PZ-20-6058 In 2002, Miami -Dade County voters approved a one-half percent local surtax with the purpo 09/19/22 the People's Transportation Plan (PTP), including several rapid transit corridors. The primary god4=90 reduce traffic congestion by improving public transit options and making the public less reliant on automobiles for mobility. The Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan, adopted by the Miami -Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) in 2016 (see Appendix A), intends to advance six of the PTP's rapid transit corridors along with a network of Bus Express Rapid Transit (BERT) service projects (see Figure 1-1). The advancement of each of the six SMART Plan corridors is progressing through the following study efforts: • Project Development and Environment (PD&E) studies • Land Use Scenarios and Visioning Planning studies • Economic Mobility and Accessibility studies The Miami -Dade DepartmentofTransportation and PublicWorks (DTPW) and Florida DepartmentofTransportation (FDOT) are tasked with conducting the PD&E studies, which evaluate engineering and environmental aspects including the transit mode, alignment and station locations. The Miami -Dade TPO has been tasked with the integration oftransportation and land use planningandthe developmentofstrategiesto maxim izethe effectiveness of the transit infrastructure investments. Furthermore, the Miami -Dade TPO is conducting an Economic Mobility and Accessibility Study. Transit supportive land use plays a important role in the success of major rapid transit projects. The purpose of the Land Use Scenarios and Visioning Planningstudies isto develop a preferred land use strategy for each of the six SMART Plan corridors. This report summarizes the development and testing of Land Use Scenario Plans forthe Beach and Northeast Corridors. 1.1 Study Corridors and Limits The limits forthe Beach Corridor Land Use Scenarios and Visioning Planning are from Midtown Miami (at or near NE 41 Street and North Miami Avenue/NE 2 Avenue) to the Miami Beach Convention Center. The PD&E study for the Beach Corridor was conducted by the DTPW and the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) was endorsed by the Miami -Dade TPO Governing Board in January 2020. The study limits, preferred transit modes, and alignment as defined in the PD&E study are shown in Figure 1-2. The preliminary land use scenarios were developed before the LPA was selected and the preferred land use scenario developed after the LPA was selected, including the modes, alignment and station locations. Additional information on the organization of the Land Use Scenarios and Visioning Planning forthe Beach Corridor is presented in Section 1.2. The limits forthe Northeast Corridor Land Use Scenarios and Visioning Planning are from Downtown Miami to City of Aventura along the existing Florida East Coast (FEC) railway. The PD&E study for the Northeast Corridor is being conducted bythe FDOT District Four and the study limits are shown in Figure 1-3. The PD&E study has so far identified the transit mode (commuter passenger rail), alignment (existing FEC rail corridor), and six preliminary station locations in Miami -Dade County. However, the PD&E study is currently on -hold until negotiations with FEC Railway for securing track access are complete along with the identification of a funding source for the project's operations and maintenance (0&M). The Northeast Corridor Land Use Scenarios and Visioning Planning study was developed based on the preliminary station locations already identified in the PD&E study. 2 NOTICE Thls submittal needsto be echedu�db, a p0k hexhny — wkh t-11—set ronh m the City w mi— Code.

The Land Use Scenarios and Visioning Planning considered the potential i rapid transit corridors in the overlap area. The study areas of the two corridors were adjusted between Downtown Miami and Midtown Miami to create one contiguous area. The land use planning analysis forthe overlap area is documented underthe Northeast Corridor. 1.2 Organization of Report A consolidated Land Use Scenarios and Visioning Planning report was prepared for the Beach and Northeast Corridors since portions of the two corridors overlap.

This Land Use and Visioning Plan is being de%=10 recognition that transit supportive land uses play a important role in the success of major transit investments such as the SMART Plan. The SMART Plan is intended to help achieve community goals through the integration of transportation and land use planning and the development of strategies. This study provides the technical basis for the development of transit supportive land uses for the Beach and Northeast SMART Plan corridors. Figure 1-1 depicts the SMART Plan corridors. The Beach Corridor extends from Midtown Miami (at or near NE 41 Street and N Miami Avenue/NE 2 Avenue) to the Miami Beach Convention Center via the MacArthur Causeway, and the Northeast Corridor extends from Downtown Miami to the City ofAventura alongthe existing FEC Railway Corridor. Since the Beach and Northeast Corridors overlap in the Downtown -Midtown area, this study evaluates both corridors together.

PZ-20-6058 2.1 Northeast Corridor 09/19/22 ' 2.1.1 SMART Plan Northeast Corridor Inventory Study The Miami -Dade TPO developed Corridor Inventory Studies in 2017 to document the land uses, zoning, and socioeconomic data within a 1/2-mile buffer along the SMART Plan Corridors. The following sections provide a sum ma ry of the Corridor Inventory Study forthe Northeast Corridor. The detai led report is included as AppendixB. The Northeast Corridor is the only corridor of the six (6) SMART Plan Corridors with an active existing railway. The railway is owned and operated by the FEC Industries. The municipalities within the study area include Aventura, North Miami Beach, North Miami, Biscayne Park, Miami Shores, El Portal, and Miami. These municipalities and the unincorporated areas of Miami -Dade County within the study limits are shown in Figure 2-1. Existing Land Uses The primary land uses in the Northeast Corridor are low density residential, followed by business and office as shown in Figure 2-2. In general, high density development is limited to the Downtown Miami area. Socioeconomic Data The population within the study area is approximately 238,000.The racial/ethnic composition alongthe Northeast Corridor is more even among Hispanic, White Non -Hispanic, and Black Non -Hispanic populations in comparison to the entire county's population. The median household income is $42,968. Approximately 38 percent (38%) of the population along the corridor own their homes and the other 62 percent (62%) are renters. The corridor inventory report includes mapsthat illustratethe distribution of population with lessthan $25,000annual income, population olderthan 65 years, zero car households, transit dependent population, etc. 11 Figure 2-1: Municipalities along the Northeast Study Corridor r BROWARD COUNTY # i a � .. ,T Wi• w xW 4YiP It I_" � � 1+Mr 1J•1,6 eY �_L� �'� �� r� tvrrt, 4- � - �j Ai EIVJ'El !11y'9'.ST 6x L aY— x Y ,esl>•>:I k x md! rl%rY Nr NC tnYm lT � [�r1rfH 81 [I �' 'y i 4 49es� yF , r� sr sr �t.,• �•aal;r•sT �.yrTN 6T s NO SrPM.r •.v-ESRi•:J H V, de, EA el ere r•aTa, s* 4 , / �•. wa1r. rrv. r.+:r �1 _I i n1e•sr N ,,. , T � � Nf ,r .T i 1rvv -aTNU 51 9+15T ST St � ♦ p' _ ■ = r uw nua>• sx 61 O�C1 ]CrtIBaKr .F IN 91 + Nn,xn+s1 r ., y � r` NCATH MIAMI' mw 1ZT11r 51 le unrrr 51M e 1r-Ir.

PZ-20-6058 / �\ 09/19/22 /f The Northeast Corridor is the Miami -Dade County segment of the Tri-Rail Coastal Link (TRCL) project Feing conducted by FDOT District Four. The TRCL project plans to add 85 miles of commuter rail service from Downtown Miami to Jupiter as an integrated extension of Tri-Rail. Twenty-five (25) stations have been identified for further evaluation duringthe Project Development phase as shown in Figure 2-3. These include six (6) station locations within Miami -Dade County in Aventura, North Miami Beach, North Miami, Upper East Side, Midtown/Design District, and Miami Central. The service will share tracks with FEC freight and Brightline Intercity passenger rail services. Stations for the Brightline Intercity passenger rail have already been constructed in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. These Brightline stations may be used by the future Tri-Rail Coastal Link. Implementation of the Tri-Rail Coastal Linkwill be phased and occur based on availability of local matching funds. Approximately 30% of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) effort for the Northeast Corridor has been complete and negotiations are underway for securing track access to the FEC Railway and to obtain local 0&M funding. The PD&E study is currently on hold pendingthe access agreement and local financing plan. 14 • v v � o f� x it ti zz V � KEY Q Jupiter N TO -Rail Coastal Link Blue Line Q Palm Beach Gardens Tri-Rail Coastal Link Red Line Q Lake Park Tri-Rail Coastal _ Link Green Line ` Q Riviera Beach e--, Existing Station ®• Q Proposed Station Mangonia Park Q West Palm Beach/St. Mary's Q Proposed All Aboard Jill' Florida Station ® Maintenenace and West Palm Beach 0 0 Downtown West Palm Beach Layover Facility Airport Alks Seaport ■■■■■ Metrorail Green Line ■■■■■ Metrorail Orange Line Jill Connections Note: Proposed station locations are identified forfurther study but subject to change V Palm Beach International Airport Q Lake Worth Boynton Beach e Delray Beach H • U U Boca Raton Lea .

PZ-20-6058 / 09/19/22 /f The City of North Miami developed a Mobility Hub Plan and TOD Strategy focused around its proposed east Corridor station near NE 123rd Street and the FEC Railway. The Mobility Hub and TOD Strategic Plan consists of a two-part planning process: a detailed station area plan within a halfmileradius of the proposed FEC station and a series of guiding principles for mobility and placemaking. The Mobility Hub will serve as a nexus to transportation options, including FEC Railway passenger service, Miami - Dade Transit Metrobus, North Miami Express trolley service, local jitney services, shared bicycle systems, and pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. The plan will provide an array of transportation services, amenities, and urban design enhancements that encourage economic development. The Mobility Hub plan provides guidance for first and last mile connectivity by identifying pedestrian priority streets, green residential streets, and multi -use trails. Furthermore, the plan identifies opportunities to strengthen links between modal access points. The plan also identifies opportunities to transform neighborhood destinations through creative placemaking and designating open spaces. Some examples include the North Miami Station Square, Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and City Hall Plaza Area, and the North Miami Public Market (Arts and The Market). The Mobility Hub plan provides guidelines for overlay zones and catalyst nodes that will make up the transit supportive area consisting of half -mile bufferaround the proposed transitstation. The plan references parking management best practices including reducing on -street parking, implementing off-street parking management policies, and integrating parkingwith other mobility services such as transitstops and shared bicycle systems.

The study focused on three station areas within the city: Downtown Miami, Midtown Miami, and Little River/79 Street. A summary is provided below. Downtown Miami The recommendations focus on accessibility to and from the MiamiCentral Station, safety and comfort, public space, and resiliency. The study also recommends the redesign of street rights -of -way to accommodate non - motorized mobility options. Additional recommendations include: • Implementspeed and congestion management strategies and policies. • Implement traffic calming, lighting, and streetscape/landscape improvements. • Enhance public spaces through partnerships with local communities and businesses, limited vehicular access streets, car free zones, and pedestrian only connections. • Balance land uses surroundingthe station areas by requiring residential and non-residential useswithin the same block. Rezone underutilized civic and institutional uses into compatible zoning categories to promote redevelopment. • Increase building's minimum height from two stories to five stories to match the lowertierzoningcategory —T5 (mid -rise typologies). • Implement strategies to develop vacant and underdeveloped lots, promote active frontages, and reduce Night around the station. • Design future streets using permeable materials to minimize flood risks and promote creative designs to maintain active ground floors in flood prone areas. Midtown Miami The primary focus of the study for Midtown Miami was to evaluate two potential station locations: NE 36 Street and NE 29 Street. • At NE 36 Street, the north leg is deemed more suitable for a station than the south leg. There are some right-of-way constraints for providing a southbound station platform wide enough (25 feet) to meet the standards. Accessibility and mobility around the station are identified as challenges. • At NE 29 Street, the south leg is deemed more suitable for a station than the north leg. Main advantages of this location are the sufficient availability of FEC right-of-way for station platforms and land availability for redevelopment. The need for pedestrian access improvements has been identified. 20 NOTICE Thls submittal needsto be echedu�db, a p0k hexhny — wkh t-11—set ronh m the City w mi—Code.

PZ-20-6058 Transit Supportive Land Use Policies I 09/19/22 Both the City of Miami and the City of Miami Beach have implemented transit supportive Ian%ZZJ0 designations. Of note is the City of Miami's Miami2l form -based zoning code, which allows for transit oriented, pedestrian friendly, and mixed -use developments in the transect zones (The building block for Miami2l's Form Based Zoning Code). In addition, the City of Miami Beach has established exceptions to the building height restrictions based on the area and lot sizes as described in Section 3.4 of the Beach Corridor Inventory Report. Miami -Dade County's Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) identifies three types of urban centers: community (CUC), metropolitan (MUC), and regional (RUC). The urban centers are areas targeted for mixed uses, densification, and multimodal transportation options. A RUC is identified in Downtown Miami. Further, CUCs are identified at Government Center Station and Overtown/Arena Station. In Miami Beach, a MUC is identified near the Lincoln Road Shopping Center. Socioeconomic Data Socioeconomic data for the Beach Corridor was gathered from the Southeast Florida Regional Planning Model (SERPM-V7) foryears 2015 and 2040, US Census 2010, and the American Community Survey (ACS). Approximately 107,010 people lived within the study area in 2015 with 61,010 people in the City of Miami and approximately 46,000 people in Miami Beach.The estimated numberof workerswithin the study corridorwas 42,200,with 22,200 in the City of Miami and 20,200 in Miami Beach. The estimated number of jobs within the study corridor was 108,651, with 65,464 in the City of Miami and 43,187 in Miami Beach. The breakdown of employment by category for the SERPM 2015 data is shown in Figure 4.Overall, service, professional, and government sectors account for 60 percent (60%) of employees in Miami and 37 percent (37%) of employees in Miami Beach. The retail, hotel, restaurant, orentertainment industries accountfor2l percent (21%) of employees in Miami and 53 percent (53%) of employees in Miami Beach. Household income data indicates that 35 percent (35%) of households in Miami and 30 percent (30%) of households in Miami Beach earn lessthan $25,000 annually. In the highest income group (greaterthan $100,000), Miami has 15 percent (15%) of households and Miami Beach has 23 percent (23 percent) of households. Needs and deficiencies alongthe Beach Corridor include vehicular congestion, limited right of way for increasing roadway capacity, singular flows in traffic patterns due to a lack of land use mix, car dependence, and the lack of one -seat -ride transit connections between Miami Beach and Downtown Miami. 24 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 Gy'SY I)A',L NOTICE Thk sabmitl,l„ d— tx.hedW,d W,, pubLc hearing cord,,,, with tlm,l'mes set forth in the City of Miami CM,.

Usual lyemphasizingemploymentuses, Region al Centers increasingly are being soughtoutfor residential uses in response to changing demographics and housing preferences. Regional Centers are larger in size than Community Centers and Neighborhood Centers and tend to contain more than one transit station and multiple bus stops. Small block sizes, more lot coverage, higher intensities and densities of development, civic open spaces, and minimal surface parking result in a highly urban development pattern in Regional Centers.

Residential densities in Community Centers are typically lowerthan residential densities in Regional Centers, but the mix of uses in them is more balances between residential and employment uses. More intense and dense development in Community Centers tends to be concentrated within walking distance of the transit station. The pattern of development in Community Centers ranges from urban to suburban. Block sizes, lot coverage, and development intensities and densities all tend to be moderate. Parking is typicallystructures and located close to the transit stations.

This chapter summarizes the development and testing of alternative land use scenarios forthe Beach and Northeast Corridors. Please note that the development of land use scenarios for the Overlap Area is presented under the Northeast Corridor. The Preferred Land Use Scenario forthe two corridors is presented in Chapter5.

The study area for land use scenarios development was defined based on the preliminary station locations identified in the Tri-Rail Coastal Link PD&E Study. Note that the portion of this tri-county study within Miami -Dade County is referred to as the Northeast Corridor. The Northeast Corridorwill utilize the existing FEC railroad corridor and the PD&E Study has identified six potential commuter rail station locations in Miami -Dade County. These station locations are in Aventura, North Miami Beach, North Miami, Upper East Side (NE 79 Street/El Portal), Midtown/ Design District, and Downtown Miami (MiamiCentral Station). In addition, the land use scenario assessments considered potential station locations in Wynwood/Edgewater and at NE 151 Street. Land use assessments for these two additional locations were performed recognizing the areas' growth potential may result in the PD&E study considering an infill station or relocation of currently identified stations. The Northeast Corridor also consists of an Overlap Area with the Beach Corridor alignment, which includes the station areas of Midtown/Design District, Wynwood/Edgewater, and Downtown Miami. The transit modes, alignment, and station locations for the Beach Corridor were identified by Miami -Dade DTPW in the Beach Corridor Rapid Transit Project PD&E Study. Land use scenario development for the station locations in Miami Beach is discussed in Section 3.2. Based on the FTA guidelines, a half -mile influence area (buffer) along the existing FEC railroad corridor was used to define the limits of study area for Land Use Scenario and Visioning Planning study. This half -mile influence area was divided into Station Area Segments for analysis purposes. Within each Station Area Segment, a half - mile radius around the potential station location was defined to identify opportunities for mixed use and TOD. Figure 3-1 depicts the study corridor along with the halfmilebuffer, halfmilestation areas radii, and Station Area Segments. Note that a Station Area Segment for Wynwood/Edgewaterwas included in all land use scenarios. 39 A I z-, NOTICE = 1 -ed,to —hedu[ed pobk hearing ,it, of Miami We The pp.,,atle decision -making bWywL[ retiewthe I rf—�D� It the public h,,,,rg to end,, PZ-20-6058 Figure 3-1: Northeast Corridor Study Areo 09/19/22 L Legend 0.5-Mile Buffer —'t— Study Corridor Buffer Micro -Analysis Zone 77 F, T 1.

Population and employment were used=90 socioeconomic variables to quantify the land use scenarios. While Station Area Segments were used to report population and employment data at the macro level, much smaller Micro -Analysis Zones (MAZ) were used to input socioeconomic data to the travel demand model for evaluating alternative land use scenarios. The current Southeast Florida Regional Planning Model (SERPM) Version 7, which is the travel demand model used by the Miami -Dade TPO for developing 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), has established 2040 as the horizon year. Therefore, all land use scenarios were developed and evaluated for year 2040. The socioeconomic data available from SERPM foryear204Owas considered the Trend Scenario (i.e., growth without implementation of the SMART Plan in the Northeast Corridor) and the land use scenarios were built upon it. The FTA's Simplified Trips -on -Project Software (STOPS) was used to forecast transit ridership/hoardings at the station level, which were used to evaluate and compare alternative land use scenarios. 3.1.2 Alternative Land Use Scenarios Whilethefocusof[and use scenario development isthe Northeast Corridor, the Beach and Northeast Corridorstudy areas overlap between Downtown Miami and Midtown/Design District. Therefore, potential transit alternatives forthe Beach Corridorwere taken into consideration when alternative land use scenarios were developed forthe segment between Downtown Miami and Midtown/Design District. Initially three unique land use scenarios were developed for the Northeast Corridor SMART Plan, each representing different land use visions and intensities. At the time these alternative land use scenarios were developed, the Beach Corridor LPA had not been selected. Therefore, information available from the Beach Corridor Tier One Evaluation was utilized. The Preferred Land Use Scenario for the Beach/Northeast overlap area (see Chapter5) was updated after the selection of LPA for the Beach Corridor. As previously mentioned, the Trend Scenario represented the baseline conditions. 3.1.2.1 Trend Scenario The Trend Scenario represents "business as usual" growth withoutthe implementation of the SMART Plan. Table 3-1 summarizes population and employment data from the 2040 LRTP forthe Station Area Segments defined in Figure3-1. For comparison purposes, population and employment foryear2010 are also included in Table3-1. Between 2010 and 2040, the Northeast Corridorstudy area population and employment are projected to increase by 73 percent and 41 percent, respectively. 43 NOTICE Thlssubm 1newish de achedu�d ter a public heahny ccoId-wi&hmellness f.dh in the city& Miami:We .

Under this scenario, Greater Downtown Miami was envisioned to enhance its position as a regional center, spurred by two new SMART Plan transit systems (Northeast and Beach) connecting to the MiamiCentral Station. The SMART Plan influenced residential (market rate and workforce housing) and employment developments were envisioned in Greater Downtown Miami.

The applicability, sensitivity, data availability, and ease of use were considered before deciding whether to apply each parameter. Based on this assessment, the quantitative criteria selected to evaluate land use scenarios are transit ridership measured using weekday transit hoardings and FTA's land use ratings based on employmentand population density. The ridership data was estimated from the FTA's STOPS model. In addition to the quantitative methods, qualitative criteria (public input and local context) were also used and are discussed in the Charrette and Stakeholder Coordination chapter.

While transit ridership criteria are applicable both at system level and station area level, FTA's land use criteria are applicable at the corridor level only. 3.1.4.1 STOPS Ridership Estimates The STOPS model estimates for all except the Build Scenario 2 considered six potential station locations, as identified in the PD&E studyforthe Northeast Corridor. In Build Scenario 2, infill stations at Wynwood/ Edgewater and NE 151 Street were also modeled to estimate ridership. Wynwood and Edgewater are two rapidly growing communities located between Downtown Miami and Midtown. Transit supportive land use policies are already in place for Wynwood/Edgewater. A station at NE 151 Street would serve Florida International University Biscayne Campus and planned large-scale developments such as Sole Mia. Please note that the purpose of considering these additional station locations is for land use scenario development purposes only and the PD&E study will determinethe final station locations. The STOPS forecasts summarized in Table 3-6 indicate that both the number of stations and growth intensity would have a positive correlation with transit ridership. As expected, the Build Scenario 1, which assumed a modest growth along the corridor except in Downtown Miami, had the lowest ridership forecast out of the three build scenarios. The Build Scenario 2, with two additional stations in Wynwood/Edgewater and NE 151 Street, had the highest system level transit ridership.

Three build scenarios were developed and tested using quantitative and qualitative methods. Each land use scenario was unique and was developed to capture different possibilities of transit and land use developments along the corridor. Land use implications associated with two station locations that are currently not included in the Tri- Rail Coastal Link PD&E study were also evaluated based on community and stakeholder agency input. Overall, land use scenario analysis reaffirms the Northeast Corridor's suitability for premium transit implementation. The Charrettesand Stakeholder Coordination chapterindudes input provided bythe publicand stakeholder agencies on the land use scenarios. The selection of the Preferred Land Use Scenario is discussed in the Development of Recommendations chapter. 52 NOTICE Thls submittal needsto be echedu�db, a p0k hexhny — wkh t-11—set ronh m the City w mi—Code.

The study area for land use scenariodeve lop mentisgenera Ilybounded by1-195/JuliaTuttle Causeway tothen orth, 1-395/MacArthur Causeway to the south, 1-95 to the west, and Washington Avenue to the east. The preliminary land use scenarios were developed before the selection of the Beach Corridor LPA and hence the alignment, modes, and station locations were not available. However, the Preferred Land Use Scenario was developed after the selection of the LPA bythe Miami -Dade TPO Governing Board. The Beach Corridor LPA identifies the following proposed vehicle technologies (mode) and station locations: • For the Design District Extension, the selected technology is an extension of the existing Metromover in the median of Miami Avenue to NW 41 Street in the Design District with the following proposed stations: ♦ North Miami Avenue and NW 40 Street ♦ North Miami Avenue and NW 34 Street ♦ North Miami Avenue and NW 29 Street ♦ North Miami Avenue and NW 26 Street ♦ North Miami Avenue and NW 22 Street ♦ North Miami Avenue and NW 16 Street For the Beach Corridor Trunkline, which extends from the existing Downtown Metromover Omni Station alongthe MacArthur Causeway to 5 Street near Washington Avenue in Miami Beach, the selected technology is elevated rubbertire with the following proposed stations: ♦ Herald Plaza and NE 15 Street (transfer station) ♦ Children's Museum at Watson Island ♦ 5 Street and Lennox Avenue ♦ 5 Street and Washington Avenue (transfer station) • For the Miami Beach Convention Center Extension, the selected technology is dedicated lanes for bus/ trolleys along Washington Avenue with the following station locations as proposed by Miami -Dade DTPW: ♦ 5 Street and Washington Avenue (transfer station) ♦ Washington Avenue and 10 Street ♦ Washington Avenue and 14 Street ♦ Washington Avenue and Lincoln Road ♦ Washington Avenue and 19 Street (Miami Beach Convention Center) The land use and visioningstudy limits forthe Beach Corridorwithin the overlap area (i.e., from Downtown Miami to Midtown/Design District) arethesame asthe Northeast Corridor. Based on FTAguidelines, a half- mile influence area (buffer) alongthe proposed alignmentwas used to define the study area limits alongthe MacArthur Causeway and in Miami Beach. This study area was defined to identify opportunities for additional growth, including mixed use and transit -oriented development (TOD). 53 NOTICE Th,=[ d .hIdWed W, a public hearing Id, 11 with b-11— fInh in the City If Miami ,a'i Code The pp.,, a de d—it, Png NAywL I rewew Me I Word— at the p1bfil h1111rg to Ind,, I rnentlation C, "W d1j..1 PZ-20-6058 09/19/22 Figure 3-5: Study Areo for Land Use Scenario Development Legend 1:3 0.5-Mile Buffer Study Corridor Buffer Micro -Analysis Zone ti , F-1 ..... ...... ............... -- ---- --------- '_ _7 Miles 0 0.5 1 54 NOTICE Thls submittal needsto be echedu�db, a p0k hexhny — wkh t-11—set ronh m the City w mi— Code.

Purpose and Process As part of the Preferred Land Use Scenario and Visioning Planning process, the TPO facilitated a series of public charrettes and/orworkshops designed to introduce the general publicto land usescenario and visioning planning, describe the steps to be taken in developing land use scenarios, and demonstrate how each corridor can develop alternative land use plans, test the impact of selected plans and understand the beneficial outcomes for better linking land use, urban design, and transportation decision -making. The Charrette Series 1 forthe Beach and Northeast Corridors consisted ofthree charrettes, conducted on February 01, February 05 and February 10, 2018, respectively. Through interactive exercises and mapping of ideas, the charrettes provided all participants the opportunity to start building the land use vision for each corridor. As an important first step, the process helped identify preferred future land uses through hands-on mapping exercises and roundtable discussions with the goal of establishing a shared vision forthe future of each corridor. Charrette Format The Charrette Series 1 was set-up as a series of planning and design workshops to discuss and explore land use issues related to transit. With the assistance of facilitators working with workshop participants and support by TPO staff providing assistance upon request, participants were asked to generate ideas to support land use scenario development. Each charrette event opened with an introductory presentation on the interrelationship between land use, urban form and transportation, followed by breakout table exercises designed to engage citizens, elected officials and TPO staff in a discussion on the topics of land use and transportation mode choices with a focus on the following four (4) key questions: 1. What are Preferred Uses? 2. What are Preferred Ways to get to Places? 3. Share One Word that best describes the Corridor Today 4. Share One Word that embodies the Future Vision for the Corridor Participant Groupswerethen asked to map preferred land uses at preferred locationswithin each of the corridors. Through this open public process, community members and the design team worked togetherto develop options that can guide the appropriate redevelopment scenarios envisioned within the corridor areas. In addition to the interactive / hands-on mapping exercises, attendees participated in a polling session with 20 questions designed to gather feedback on community priorities and preferences. The ideas and preferences illustrated in this reportembodythe public'svision forthefuture ofthe Beach and NortheastSMART Plan Corridors. 59 tin u+-+L \��y NOTICE Thlssubm 1 newish be scheduled ter s p0k heahny ceoId.—wi& hmellnes-f.dh in the cityM Miami :Wle.

The charrette outcomes are summarized in the following sections by corridor and cover the input received from charrette participants forthe Northeast Corridor and forthe Beach Corridor as well as input received on the area identified as the Downtown Overlap area. 61 Summary What are Preferred Uses? Visioning and planning for efficient transportation requires communities to understand and evaluate the relationship between urban form and transportation in orderto determine how best to shorten commuting distances between complementary land uses, provide more travel choices, and create a more efficient transportation system and improved quality of life. During the first interactive / hands on exercise, participants were asked to identify public and private uses they would like to see developed within each corridor. Participants were then asked to rankthetopthree choices of preferred uses. The exercise allowed participants to consider possible scenarios (futures) that might occur based on the uses that already exist, on trends that are evident, or on city, county and/or regional goals and communityvalues captured through discussions. The following tables summarize the top three land use preferences identified by charrette participants for each corridor. As illustrated, the top three ranked uses by corridor are as follows: Northeast Corridor 1. Workforce Housing 2. Mixed Uses 3. Offices and Restaurants / Cafes Beach Corridor 1. Workforce Housing 2.

During the Charrette, the TPO requested community feedback on station area population and employment growth estimates for the development of a preferred land use scenario. The charrette participants were asked to considerthe following: • Review and comment on the station area -based preliminary population and employment growth associated with the Northeast Corridor SMART Plan. • Review and comment on the mix of population and employment growth associated with the Northeast Corridor SMART Plan. • Is the projected SMART Plan growth by station area consistent with your community's vision? • Which municipalities would require amending the land use plans and zoning codes to support the transit oriented development anticipated with the future Northeast Corridor rapid transit system?

PZ-20-6058 Nk� Downtown & Northeast 36th Street Stations Where should Housing and Jobs be Located? Within the Greater Downtown to Midtown / NE 36th Street station segment areas, the baseline population for 2010 of55,658 people and 61,882jobs is projected to grow to 128,872 people and 84,332jobs by 2040 (TREND Growth). As a result of new transit and depending on growth scenario options, the SMART Plan growth estimates indicate an additional increase of up to 30,000 people and 18,000 jobs within the corridor area. The MAZ reference maps at each charrette table indicated the TREND Growth numbers for Population (POP) and Employment (EMP) by station segment areas. The charrette participants were asked to review the_2040 TREND Growth (natural growth)_data and identify the best locations within the corridor segment areas for additional growth. The number of LEGO blocks available for distribution, representing both people and jobs respectively, is based on the Incremental Growth (SMART PLAN Growth) numbers considered in the TPO's Preliminary Preferred Land Use Scenario. By placing on the aerial maps the alloted LEGO blocks, participants were asked to consider preferred locations for growth and how selected locations have the potential to impact land use and mobility as a result of the increase in the number of people and jobs in the area. Charrette participants placed the highest number of LEGO blocks within the Wynwood/Edgewaterarea.The following points summarize additional input recorded during discussions and as written by participants on the maps and on the post -it notes: • Wider sidewalks on Biscayne Blvd. • New station on 27th Street • New station on 60th Street/ 61st Street • New station on 53rd Street/ 54th Street • Bike lane on NE 2nd Ave • One station only besides Downtown • Cooling station at all transit stations • Depress 1-195 Expressway, close to Biscayne Boulevard. 134 Within the Downtown station area segment, charrette participants allocated approximately 8,400 in POP and 5,200 in EMP from the SMART Plan growth totals for population and employment. The majority of the LEGO blocks were placed within the 1/2 mile radius of the MiamiCentral Station area. This allocation is less than the SMART Plan growth numbers of 12,000 in POP and 10,000 in EMP forthis station segment area. Within the Wynwood/Edgewater station area segment, participants allocated an approximate SMART Plan growth of 12,600 POP and 6,000 EMP, as represented by the number and placement location of the LEGO blocks. These allocations were higher that the proposed 10,000 POP and 5,000 EMP SMART Plan growth for this segment. A mix of growth in both population and employment was distributed within the Wynwood area, while a larger number of LEGOS representing growth in population was placed within the Edgewater area. The SMART Plan growth numbers for the Midtown / NE 36th Streetstation segment area identified 8,000 POP (population) and 3,000 EMP (employment) increase. The charrette participants allocated an approximate growth of 6,200 POP and 4,800 EMP by placing the majority of the LEGO blocks south of54th Street and west of the FEC Corridor. tin u+%+L \��y NOTICE Thls submittal needsto be echedu�db, a p0k hexhny — wkh t-11—set ronh m the City w mi— Code.

As a result of new transit and depending on growth scenario options, the SMART Plan growth within this area is projected to add 17,000 to 25,500 people and 10,500 to 15,000jobs within the station segment areas. The MAZ reference maps at each charrette table indicated the TREND Growth numbers for Population (POP) and Employment (EMP) by station segment areas. The charrette participants were asked to review the 2040 TREND Growth (natural growth) data and identify the best location within the corridor segment areas for additional growth. The number of LEGO blocks available for distribution, representing both people and jobs respectively, is based on the Incremental Growth (SMART PLAN Growth) numbers as identified in the TPO's Preliminary Land Use Scenario. In placing on the aerial maps the alloted LEGO blocks, participants were asked to consider preferred locations for growth and how selected locations will affect land use and mobility as a result of the increase of people and jobs in the area. The following points summarize additional input recorded during discussions and as written by participants on post -it pads: Notes • Frequency of trains important • Station at 27th Street - 29th Street can connect entertainment `Fun' and Water • Midtown station is a "stressed" area 150 Within the Downtown station area segment, participants allocated an approximate 7,000 in POP and 3,600 in EMP from the SMART Plan growth totals for population and employment. The LEGO blocks representing these totals were placed within the 1/2 mile radius of the Miami Central station. This allocation represents less than the allotted 12,000 in POP and 10,000 in EMP from the SMART Plan Growth totals forthis station segment area. Most of the LEGO blockswere placed atthe MiamiCentral/ Downtown Government Center Station and west of 1-95. Within the Wynwood/Edgewater station area segment, participants allocated an approximate 4,000 in POP and 3,800 in EMP. This represents less than the allotted 10,000 in POP and 5,000 in EMP from the SMART Plan Growth totals for this station area. The LEGO blocks representing these totals were placed south of 20th Street and west of Biscayne Blvd within the Edgewater neighborhood area. LEGO blocks representing population growth only were placed in the area north of NE 20th Street and east of the FEC corridor. South of NW 24th Street between 1-95 and NW 2nd Avenue, only employment growth was placed. Within the NE 36th Street station area segment, participants hadavailablean allotted8,000in POPand6,000in EMPfromthe SMART Plan growth totals for population and employment.

While transit ridership criteria are applicable both at system level and station area level, land use criteria are applicable at the corridor level only. STOPS Ridership Estimates The STOPS model estimates for the Preferred Land Use Scenario considered six potential station locations, as identified in the PD&E study and an infill station in Wynwood/Edgewater. Seven Metromover extension station locations are provided in the overlap area from Downtown Miami to Midtown/Design District. Please note that the purpose of considering an infill station location is for land use scenario development purposes only and the PD&E studywill determine the final station locations. The STOPS forecasts summarized in Table 5-2 indicate high transit ridership levels at all modeled station locations, with Downtown Miami confirming as a regional hub. In comparison to the 2040 Trend land use scenario, the Preferred Land Use Scenario indicates a 36 percent increase in total hoardings.

The study focuses on the potential Station Locations (see Figure 5-1) and surrounding Station Areas, defined as the land area within a half -mile radius of the planned Station Location. Within the Northeast Corridor, each Station Area and corresponding characteristics offer a specific set of opportunities and challenges for TOD development, characterized by relatively high density; a mix of residential, office, retail and other commercial uses; and an active public realm within walking distance of a transit station. As documented in the SMART Plan Charrette Chapter, the community charrette sessions were designed to solicit feedback on the degree of desire and readiness for TOD in each Station Area, with participants mapping the locationsforTOD opportunities and constraintsand identifying actions that could potentiallystimulate investment and/or improvements. Discussions were framed by a set of criteria identified as essential components of transit - oriented development: physical suitability, plans in place, local regulatoryframework, and existing markettrends. Each station area was evaluated using these criteria to determine its current capacity forTOD. The analysis of the land use scenario plans and the resulting land use policy recommendations took into consideration the following key aspects: • How the recommended land use scenarios support the forecasted ridership for the Northeast Corridor; • Recommendations for land use policy and regulations changes for the corridor in order to address the community's overall vision, goals, and objectives while supporting transit in the Northeast Corridor; • Identify the impacts of the Land Use Scenario Plans to the comprehensive plans at county and municipal level; and, • Implementation of the plan highlighting any necessary actions.

PZ-20-6058 5.1.2.2 TOD Analysis Summary 09/19/22 Table 5-6 summarizes the TOD Analysis Criteria and findings for each of the proposed six (6) %Stati nd corresponding Segment Areas. . Station Area Characteristics: The analysis considers the general proposed location of the station as identified by the Tri-Rail Station Area Opportunity Plan and FDOT's PD&E studies. The locational aspects of thestation area were analyzed to determinethe degree in which the quantity and qualityofaccess, amenities, and services in and nearthe Station Location and within the Station Area are sufficientto supportTOD. The evaluation criteria included an analysis of the existing urban form (blockand street grid), pedestrian access, bicycle access, number of parks, and transit service frequency. 2. Station Area Vision: This evaluation criteria reviews the community's vision for the Station Area as documented in the SMART Plan Charrette reports and considers identified opportunities for redevelopment within each Station Area and within the Northeast Corridor. The Station Area is defined as the land area within a 1/2-mile radius of the potential Station Location as identified by FDOT's PD&E studies. Yet it is not enough for developmentto be neartransit. TOD must be shaped by and forthe communities in which they are built. TOD is more than mixed -use development or a multi -building development project. Each TOD may look different and have a different primary function, but successful TOD shares a set of planning and design principles. These principles shape the land use,circulation, urban form and overall performance. This analysis considers the Station Area's capacity to attract ridership and serve transit -dependent populations or high -density population/employment centers while providing connectivity to the overall multimodal transportation network. The Station Area Vision also considers the proposed Urban Center Typology for each Station Area as defined in the Miami -Dade County'sAdopted 2020-2030 Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP), updated in June 2018. Diversified urban centers are encouraged to become hubs for future urban development intensification in Miami -Dade County, around which a more compactand efficient urban structure will evolve. Three scales of centers are planned: Regional, Metropolitan and Community. Urban Centers are identified in the County's adopted Land Use Plan (LUP). 3. Supportive Land Use and Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) Potential: The analysis provides an overview of the land use and zoning regulations stipulated by each municipality currently mapped within a halfmileradius of each identified Station Location. This analysis assesses whetherthe current regulatory environment allows for the development of land uses and building forms typically seen in TOD (such as vertical mixed -use development, multi -family housing, live -work housing, etc.), and the degreeto which the regulations allow for development that is walkable, sustainable. Based on evaluations of comprehensive plans and coordination with local jurisdictions, in addition to analysis of potential density and intensity of development within the Station Area, land use regulatory consistency has been documented to assess the TOD-readiness of each Station Area. The TOD potential readiness criteria evaluates the physical, and infrastructure framework of the station area to assess the level of readiness to support new development, and determines the potential capacity for new development. Criteria included: plan in place, transit - supportive zoning, developable land (vacant and underutilized), ownership fragmentation, and if special district (in place). 176 Table 5-6: SMART Plan TOD Analysis Summary Y NOTICE missubmival n„tlsta be scheduled far a pubu, hearing cord,,,, wiN tlm,fm,s set forth in the City of Miami CM,.

The City of Aventura is bounded by: Broward County and the City of Hallandale Beach to the north; Golden Beach and Sunny Isles across Dumfounding Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway to the east; North Miami Beach to the south; and unincorporated Miami -Dade County to the west. Gu[fstream Park is an existing 250- acre racetrack located in the City of Hallandale Beach in Broward County, abutting the City of Aventura's northern boundary. The City of Sunny Isles Beach, located across the Intracoastal Waterway and Dumfounding Baytothe east of the City, has experienced significant redevelopment in the pastfew years, with low-rise beachfiontmote[s being replaced by high-rise condominium and hotel projects. This redevelopment has rapidly changed the character of Sunny Isles Beach, and has had implications for northeast Miami -Dade County as a whole, particularly in terms of traffic and hurricane evacuation. William Lehman Causeway, one of the two the main linkages between Sunny Isles Beach and the mainland, traverses the City ofAve ntura. The Ojus area of unincorporated Miami -Dade County is located west of the City of Aventura and is planned as a major redevelopment area, including multi -modal transportation improvements, the development of urban design standards, increased code enforcement, environmental restoration/protection, historic preservation, land use and zoning strategies, and the provision of incentives for redevelopment. The proposed Aventura Station is defined by its proximityto Aventura Mall and the substantial business activity in proximitytothe Mall.Whi[e residential iswithin proximitytothe station location at lower densities to the west and higher densities to the east, the core activity surrounding the station location is retail and business.

The eppli de dslsion-making bWywill re�ewihe information at the pebk hearing to model a tnendata rafietdecia PZ-20-6058 Summary — Aventura Station Area 119, . 09/19/22 1. The Aventura Station Area will continue to serve as an important Employment Center in Corridor and the region with significant projected ridership and employment density. 2. There is significant potential forTOD due to the proximity of Aventura Mall and other large format retailers as well as the growing Aventura "Medical District" by the Hospital. 3. The SMART Plan Northeast Corridor Population and Employment Summary indicates that this Station Segment Area has the highest projected employment density compared to the corridor as a whole (with exception of Downtown Miami) and a relatively low projected population growth. Growth within the area will continue to reflect mixed use patterns of development to promote and support walkability, enhanced connectivity between uses and future transit, and quality of life. 4. This analysis indicates that there are approximately 145 acres of land within the Station Area designated as B-2 (Community Business Zoning District). It is estimated thatthe maximum buildout underthe existing FLU and zoning designation could result in substantial nonresidential development. While the B-2 designation does not allow residential development, the City's Town Center Zoning District designation promotes mixed -use and reflects the city's ongoing development trends within the area. 5. All parcels within the Station Area are zoned at less than the maximum intensity that their FLU designation allows, and may need to be rezoned to a mixed -use category to optimize the TOD development potential within the area. 6. The Ojus Urban Area District regulations allow mixed use development and can absorb substantial population growth in the area within close proximity to the identified station location. 187 5.1.2.4 North Miami Beach Station Area The Tri-Rail Station Area Opportunity Plan and the FDOT PD&E Study propose a station at NE 163rd Street within the City of North Miami Beach. The proposed 163rd Street station is positioned close to the intersection of NE 163rd Street and Biscayne Blvd, and is located within the City of North Miami Beach and the City's CRA. Existing surrounding land use is a mix of light industrial, commercial development, and green space. Moving east of the intersection is Oleta River State Park, and two blocks north of the intersection is East Greynolds Park. Nearby major developments include Florida International University's Biscayne Bay Campus and the planned Sole Mia project. NE 163rd Street extends into the beach connecting to Bella Vista Island and terminating at Sunny Isles Beach. The City of North Miami Beach is currently retrofittingits infrastructure to increase affordable housing, and implement mixed -use districts, and improve walkability. Numerous bikeway routes are being implemented including a connection to Oleta River State Park. The NE 163rd proposed station sits at a very heavily traveled and vibrant commercial intersection. The area surrounding the proposed station has experienced recent reinvestment, particularly higher density housing development given its strong location along the Biscayne Boulevard Corridor and access to the business centers of Miami to the south and Aventura to the north. This trend towards redevelopment, particularly for residential use, will continue to be strengthened by the addition of rail, given the substantially enhanced ease of access rail will provide to business activity centers throughout the Northeast Corridor.

PZ-20-6058 09/19/22 Existing Land Use - North Miami Beach Station Area The Strategic Plan for the City of North Miami Beach was adopted in 2014 and calls for the%=90 mixed -use districts for Dixie Highway, Hanford Boulevard, 19th Avenue, Biscayne Boulevard and the Intracoastal Mall. The City's Amended Comprehensive Plan map and text amendment accomplishes these objectives with the establishment of eight (8) mixed -use districts provided with a "basket of rights" which establishes the total entitlements forthe particular district and distributes those rights geographically, based on thespecific regulating plans adopted for each district. This is different than the typical density/intensity method that establishes a unit per acre residential density and nonresidential lot coverage and height combination that applies to every individual parcel within a land use category. Six (6) of the eight land use / mixed use district boundaries or portion thereof are located within the identified North Miami Beach Station Area. Existing uses within these mixed use districts are as follows - referto Figure 9 for location: 1. Area along north and south sides of the Snake Creek Canal between NE 15th Avenue and the FEC right-of- way. The Fulford Mixed Use Town Center District (MU/TC) is the commercial downtown for North Miami Beach. It currently is characterized by suburban, auto -oriented commercial uses with only 2,802 residential units within the area. The FCC MU/TC was adopted in 2007, however, no new mixed -use projects have been built in the area to date. Area along east and west sides of West Dixie Highway between NE 170 and NE 173 Streets. This area is characterized by neighborhood scale office and retail uses. It is adjacentto a primarily multi -family community on the south end and a single-family community on the north end. 3. Area east of Biscayne Boulevard south of NE 173rd Street. The northern mixed -use waterfront district has three existing restaurants on -site and is immediately north of new residential, high-rise development called Marina Palms. 4. Area east of Biscayne Boulevard between NE 163rd Street and the Snake Creek Canal. An adult entertainment establishment, liquor store and two restaurant properties characterize the area designated for this mixed -use waterfront district. 5. Areas along east and west sides of West Dixie Highway between NE 155 and NE 163rd Streets. The area in the 163rd Streetsouth district has a large auto dealership with great potential for redevelopment into a more transit - oriented and urban form. Areas along east and west sides of West Dixie Highway between NE 155 and NE 163rd Streets. The remainder of the district is characterized bywarehouse and heavy business type uses. The 159th StreetSouth district is commonly referred to as the "TECO site". The property between the FEC Railroad tracks and West Dixie Highway has various distribution uses such as Federal Express and the current TECO building. The west side of West Dixie Highway has a significant, large vacant tract that has been undergoing environmental reclamation. That property abuts a single- family residential neighborhood and Aqua Bowl Lake to the west. To the south of the vacant land are primarily auto - oriented repair and sales related heavy business uses. 190 41% r L 101 01 f • �I2 �A C n N`e 9 NOTICE Thls submittal needsto t hedui db, a p0k hexhng — wkh time11n. set ronh m the City w Miami Code.

Within North Miami Beach, there are a total of eight Future Land Use Map (FLUM) mixed use districts. Six (6) FLUM district boundaries or portions thereof are located within the identified Station Area. Over 34% of the land area within the 1/2-mile Station Area radius is designated as Mixed -Use representing close to 170 acres of land. The total entitlements within these adopted mixed use districts / land use designations allow for a maximum development of 15,933 residential units (out of 18,903 total) and 14,900,000 SF of non-residential development (out of 18,900,000 SFtotal). The land area designated as open space and as public/quasi-public use occupies close to the same land area, +/- 170acres. Residential high -density and medium density zoning covers 95 acres (18%). The City's 2015 Comprehensive Plan Amendment adopted mixed -use land use categories to facilitate and encourage the creation of beautiful, safe and livable places in the downtown and along major corridors and direct future residential, office and retail growth compatible with an urban downtown environment. The adopted 2014 Comprehensive Plan map and text amendment accomplishes these objectives. The adopted FLUM map illustrates how determining density/intensity results in a more specific and realistic approach to long-term planning and the balancing of land usescan provide fortransit-orienteddevelopment. The density and intensity of all the mixed -use districts are defined as a maximum number of residential units by district and a maximum square footage of nonresidential development. Density and intensity are allocated based on the various regulating plans for the district which assign an appropriate building height directly related to the project site and its context. For each district, the City has established the maximum development rights within the boundaries of the district. Densities and intensities can vary within the district up to the maximum entitlements defined for the district.

Both the Future Land Use designations and corresponding Zoning designations within the Station Area as indicated herein support the SMART Plan growth projections for transit oriented development within the identified 1/2-mile Station Area radius. 2. The SMART Plan trend and incremental growth analysis indicates the potential for both population and employment growth within the Station Area with the likelihood of new large scale projects and Hill redevelopment overtime. 3. NE 163rd Street is a high traffic corridor with most traffic movement originating to / from the beach. The corridor is also an important bus transit corridor and provides direct causeway access to the beach. Given thestation location,the proposed station and station area can becomean importanttransit hub and transfer pointto other future transportation linkages within the area includingtheCity'strolley service. 4. The NE 151st Street Station was identified as an Alternative Station Location during the SMART Plan Charrette Series 1 and 2.

PZ-20-6058 Existing Land Use — North Miami Station Area I 09/19/22 The proposed 125th Street Station is positioned at the intersection of NE 125th Street and NE%1ZZ30 located within the City of North Miami. Moving east of the intersection, NE 125th Street becomes NE 123rd Street. The surrounding land use is a mix of light industrial, commercial and residential development. Directly adjacent to the rail's right-of-way is a large amount of open space with a dirt road that currently provides parking and connection to nearby residences on the east side of the tracks. The proposed station location connects to the Broad Causeway providing connection to Bay Harbor Islands, Bal Harbor, Surfside and Indian Creek Village. The 125th Street thoroughfare is a highly strategic connection as itserves as an important link between the heavily populated and commercially diverse North Miami community with the coastal areas of Bay Harbor Islands, Bal Harbor, and Surfside, along with areas of North Beach (Miami Beach). The NE 125th Street station is positioned within an area that comprises a significant amount of under-utilized and aging development among multifamily residential, office, industrial and retail properties. However, on the 1/2 mile periphery of the station are several economic and cultural activity centers including: North Miami City Hall, Johnson and Wales University, and Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA North Miami). Furthermore, the North Miami community itself represents an ethnically diverse population,with a strong representation of Haitian residents and businesses. The area around the Station has experienced very limited redevelopment during the past several years, in spite of years of planning and public investment within the downtown core around City Hall and MOCA. Similar to that of other major thoroughfares in the north sector of the County, the corridor has had its challenges related to commercial revitalization as it serves as a heavily traveled corridor with low density development and moderate pedestrian linkages. To the west of the station, most of the retail and office development is in fair to poor condition, and the ability to attract investment has been marginal. Immediately to the east of the station and along 125th Street, the development characteristic is generally the same, though there is more residential uses. Furthermore, there is an added challenge to redeveloping the one-story retail properties given the limited parcel depth to accommodate more intensified commercial development. However, investment along Biscayne Boulevard immediately north and south of the corridorserves as a strong indication of the potential to continue diversifyingthe mix of uses with office and retail development. Moreover, Johnson and Wales continues to invest heavily in its campus just blocks north of the station, broadening its footprint with an expanding campus and housing opportunities.

The possibility of a future high frequency rail connection in North Miami has provided the i e City Council to support planning efforts to develop a Transit Center Overlay within a quartermileof the planned FEC Passenger Rail Station. 2. Thelproposed NoMi Mobility Hub (also referred asthe Mobility Hub or North Miami Mobility Hub) is comprised of a well designed transit station near the NE 125th /123rd Street and FEC Railway corridor intersection and includes the surrounding urban areas and neighborhoods. Itwill allow for a seamless integration of all transportation modes with a high quality user experience. It will bring together an intensive concentration of work, live, shop, and/or play activities comfortably accessible by foot, within approximately a half -mile radius or a 10-minute walking distance. In addition, Mobility Hub also serves as the origin, destination, or transfer pointfor a significant portion of NoMi trips. The NoMi Mobility Hub will serve to enhance access and connectionstotransitsystems, including FEC Railway, Miami -Dade Metrobus, NoMi Express and localjitney service. Bicycle circulation will also become an integral part for residents using LimeBike ortheir personal bicycles. Pedestrians will benefit from improved streetscapes, sidewalks and trails. All these transportation systems will make it easier to use public transit and othertravel alternatives. The plan foresees a significant shift to Transit Oriented Development (TOD) near the North Miami Mobility Hub with redevelopment of existingcommercial properties into mixed-usecenters,while preserving unique North Miami neighborhoods. 3. The City of North Miami has developed a Mobility Hub Plan and TOD Strategy focused around its proposed Northeast Corridor station near NE 123rd Street and the FEC Railway. The plan identifies opportunities to transform neighborhood destinations through creative placemaking and designating open spaces. Some examples includethe North Miami Station Square, Museum of ContemporaryArt (MOCA) and City Hall Plaza Area, and the North Miami Public Market(Arts and The Market). The Mobility Hub plan provides guidelinesfor overlayzones and catalyst nodesthatwill make up the transit supportive area consistingofa half -mile buffer around the proposed transit station. The plan references parking management best practices, including reducing on -street parking, implementing off-street parking management policies, and integrating parking with other mobility services such as transit stops and shared bicycle systems. 4. Objectives of the Mobility Hub plan, such as implementing a multi -point local business development program, providing access to affordable housing, and increasing homeownership rates, are intended to be economic catalysts by providing a platform for broader economic development. Finally, the Mobility Hub plan presents opportunities for the City of North Miami to absorb, respond, recover and prepare for environmental, physical, economic, social and technology disruptions. 207 5.1.2.6 El Portal / City of Miami Station Area NOTICE Thlssubm 1needs..scheduled tar a pobk hearing �ard...e wren tlmehnes -.nh in the citym Miami me.

PZ-20-6058 / \\ 09/19/22 /f Existing Land Use — El Portal / City of Miami Station Area �'• The 79th Street corridor is a major thoroughfare connectingthe North Beach and central areas of Miami each, along with the North Bay Village community. The proposed location forth NE 79th Street station is well situated within a relatively active commercial corridor extending both east/west, as well as along N.E. 2nd Avenue and parts of Biscayne Boulevard to the north/south. Extending beyond these commercial thoroughfares (and mainly to the east) are residential communities that have been on a sustained pattern of revitalization. Toth e east ofthe rail line, and extending to the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard and 79th Street, is the northern gateway to one of Miami's most historically preserved architectural design areas — the MiMo district. For much of the past several years, the MIMO district has seen considerable investment among its retail and hotel/motel properties, and has created a niche among restaurants and boutique stores. The gateway intersection (or southwest corner of Biscayne Boulevard and 79th Street) is now being solidified by the newly planned Triton Center, a mixed -use (hotel, apartment, and retail) development that is replacing the former Immigration and Natural Service (INS) building. Further to the west of the station area along 79th Street, economic growth/redevelopment has been quite modest. As with several corridors in the northern sector of the County, development is built at very low densities and is as non -pedestrian friendly since itfronts a heavilytraveled thoroughfare. Duringthe past fewyears, efforts to improve the corridor and encourage a broader mix of uses has been led by affordable/mixed-income housing development. In spite of these developments, though, on -going improvementto the surrounding area has been minimal. Looking ahead, an encouraging sign for this area is the fact that a significant portion of the area extending to a half -mile west of the FEC rail line is part of an Opportunity Zone. This is a federal tax incentive program which was included within the 2017 tax reform bill and which is organized to encourage investment in areas historically constrained by substantial disinvestment. Although much of the Opportunity Zone encompasses residential development, the businesses along 79th Street and N.E. 2nd Avenue may benefit overtime from these incentives, which may be significantly enhanced by improved access to transit. While significant challenges exist to the west of the rail line along 79th Street, areas to the south along NE 4th Court (which boundsthe FEC rail linetotheeast) have experienced notable revitalization ofcommercia[/business activity. This has been in part the result of increased demand from the relocation of design and arts related businesses thatwere formerly located in the Miami Design District.

The Station Area also has a high employment density. Given these conditions and the existing commercial land uses within the Station Area, the station has significantTOD potential. 2. Applicable future land use and zoning compatibility analysis indicate support for mixed -use development within the Station Area. However, current designations will need to be better aligned to support transit - oriented development with appropriate densities and intensities. 3. The NE 79th Street station can play a beneficial role from a dual -perspective: first, in tandem with the potential benefits from the Opportunity Zone, it can serve as a important componentto spurring economic opportunityfor both businesses and residents along the west side of the FEC rail linethat have experienced a long period of economic constraint; and, second, the rail station can play an integral role in continuing investment and ensuring positive investment momentum to the areas east of the rail line. 217 5.1.2.7 Midtown Station Area 41��t�1L N ,vc NOTICE Th1 submidal needs b. sch.dWed ter a public hearing ccaM., wmh-1— aetronh in the city& Miami :We.

PZ-20-6058 Existing Land Use - Midtown Station Area 09/19/22 The NE 36th Street station will serve the Midtown, Design District, and a large portion of the Edgewate Within the Station Area, the Midtown Miami East and West Special Districts, as defined by the City's Miami 21 Code, are intended to promote neighborhood redevelopment through medium to high density mixed use development. Due to intensity of infill development and redevelopment in the area, the population and the overall level of commercial and retail activity will greatly increase. These districts are of special and substantial public interest given its proximity to Downtown Miami and the Omni Area, the Design District, Miami Beach, the Wynwood / Edgewater Neighborhood and to the future proposed commuter transit facilities within the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) Corridor. The intent of the districts is to: 1. Promote the efficient use of land resources through compact buildingforms,infilldevelopment, and moderation in street and parking standards in orderto reduce automobile traffic and promote multi -modal transportation; 2. Promote the creation of a Miami midtown environment through intensive urban mixed -use development with a twenty-four hour activity pattern; 3. Enhance the pedestrian environment and connectivity of the existing surrounding areas by extending the city street grid through the district; and 4. Provide intensive new housing opportunities needed to sustain future commercial growth and commutertransit facilities. To this end, the district promotes streetscapes and mixed -use buildings designed to provide pedestrians with lively, interesting, well -landscaped and highly usable public spaces with a maximum interrelationship with ground floor building uses. The Midtown development, which established and became the foundation for the market for the broader Midtown area, will be built out by the time a station is operational. As a result, we expect the majority of new investment activity to occur west of the Midtown Development, further investment to the east, and additional investment to the extent that zoning allows to the northwest and into the Design District, north of the 1-195 overpass. Importantly, while there will certainly be ground floor retail and commercial activity throughout the Midtown area, all of the area trends are indicative of Midtown serving as a high density residential community with the greater concentration of office (and eventually hospitality) development occurring in the Wynwood neighborhood beginning on 29th Street and occurring southward. From a reinvestment perspective, the greatest challenge or limitation to reinvestment surrounding the proposed Midtown station going forward is the lack of pedestrian linkages under 1-195. While the Design District sits on one side of 1-195 and Midtown and Edgewater on the other, the two are disconnected as a result of the highway. Creating linear pedestrian connections in conjunction with the rail station will be important to better weaving the neighborhoods together. Indeed, the linear nature of the rail line itself can help tie the areas north and south of 1-195 together if these linkages are well planned, landscaped, and lit. As a result, the exact placement of the station and the pedestrian links from Midtown, Design District, and Edgewater to the station are important to the success of enhancing the market dynamics already in place.

PZ-20-6058 Existing Land Use — Downtown MiamiCentral I 09/19/22 Greater Downtown Miami consists of 3.8-square miles of prime waterfront real estate in tropical ` by Interstate 95 to the west, Biscayne Bay to the east, the Julia Tuttle Causeway (1-195) to the north, and the Rickenbacker Causeway to the south. Downtown Miami is the City of Miami's urban core and Miami -Dade County's largest employment center. Over 20% of the City of Miami's population resides in Greater Downtown. Just like the entire state, Miami -Dade County and its municipalities continue to grow at a steady rate. Despite this across-the- board growth, no place in the County has experienced as much growth as Greater Downtown Miami. The urban core of Greater Downtown consists of three neighborhoods: the Brickell Financial District, the Central Business District (CBD), and the Arts & Entertainment District. The MiamiCentral Station is located at the center of the CBD. Greater Downtown consists of the urban core in addition to Edgewater, Midtown, Wynwood, and historic Overtown. Over 65% of all Greater Downtown residents live within the urban core with 45% living in Brickell, 15% in the CBD, and 6% in theA&E District. Outside of the urban core and within Greater Downtown, Edgewater is the most populated neighborhood with 15% of the population. Wynwood has the smallest portion of residential population with only 2% of all Greater Downtown residents. The residential density by Census Block Group is concentrated in Midtown, Brickell, and the CBD. In Midtown, the densest block group has a density of 900 people per square mile. Brickell's densest block group has a density of 850 people per square mile. The CBD's densest block group has a density of 450 people per square mile. Population continues to grow steadily in Greater Downtown Miami. The population has increased by nearly 3,700 people since 2016 estimates, or a 4% growth in two years. This equates to over 1,500 people moving to Downtown a year. Greater Downtown has grown by over 38% since 2010. Most of this growth can be attributed to recent development, which has added thousands of housing units to the market. As more residential units are delivered, Downtown increases its capacityfor population growth with most ofthe growth projected forthe CBD and theArts & Entertainment District. Because ofthis, it is estimated thatthe Greater Downtown Miami will reach a population of over109,000 people by 2021. This equates to a 19%change in population, ora3.5% compounded annual rate of growth (CAGR). Within the newly constructed MiamiCentral Station, Brightline is a privately developed, operated, and maintained high-speed rail service that commenced service in January 2018. Brightline provides high-speed connections to Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. The MiamiCentral Station is Brightline's grand station in Downtown Miami with onsite retail, office, and residential space. Service to Orlando and Tampa are currently in the works. Tri-Rail's Downtown Miami Link is currently scheduled to open in mid 2021, and is an extension of the current Tri-Rail commuter train into Downtown Miami being developed alongside Brightline's Miami Central Station. The service will provide a direct connection between Downtown and dozens of South Florida communities along the 1-95 corridor currently served by Tri-Rail. The Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) joined private, public, and non- profit leaders to providethe necessary fundingto bring Tri-Rail directly into Downtown Miami's Central Station. 238 Figure 5-26: Existing Land Use within City of Miami Station Area NOTICE Thla submittal needs to be.hedWed for a pobLc hexing an wren a-1—yet form m tha City& Miami Code.

The study focuses on the PD&E locally preferred alternative (see Figure 2-13) and SMART Plan "Overlap Area "from Midtown to Downtown Miami across the Macarthur Causeway to Miami Beach terminating at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The commuter rail station within the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) Corridor forthe Northeast Corridor, along with the PD&E Study Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for the Beach Corridor offer catalytic opportunities for growth in the Urban Neighborhood Districts of Midtown, Wynwood/Edgewater and Downtown Miami, including the re -development potential of the North Miami Avenue Corridor. These transit facilities will enhance the interconnectivity among distinct mixed -use Neighborhood Sub -Districts: Midtown Miami, Design District, Wynwood, Edgewater, Arts and Entertainment District, and Downtown Miami. This area in the City of Miami is characterized by relatively high density; a mix of residential, office, cultural, retail and other uses such as entertainment, with an active public realm within walking distance of all transit stations. The Miami Beach Urban District, an already developed mixed -use urban environment, is one of the premier destinations for tourism in the Greater Miami Area. It is distinguished by the largest concentrated collection of Art Deco, which was designated a National Register District in 1979, attractive medium and high -density neighborhoods, a vibrant entertainment district, with regional cultural assets and a newly modernized Convention Center. The Miami Beach Urban District is characterized by its well-defined urban pattern configuration of small Mocks within easy walking distance to the LPA station locations. In this area, the resulting set of challenges originate from the aspects of preservation of Historic buildings, urban form and scale. As documented in the SMART Plan Charrette Chapter, the first community charrette sessions for this Corridor were designed to solicit feedback on the degree of desire and readiness forTOD in the Midtown Area, Downtown Miami and Miami Beach, with participants mapping the locations for TOD opportunities and constraints, and identifying actions that could potentially stimulate investment and/or improvements. Discussions were framed by a set of criteria identified as essential components of transit -oriented development: physical suitability, plans in place, local regulatory framework, and existing market trends Once the PD&E study identified the transit mode(s), alignment, and station locations, the project team held a SAC Virtual Workshop to discuss and obtain feedback regardingthe results of the land use scenario analysis that focuses on the Beach/Northeast SMART Plan Corridor "Overlap Area" (Downtown Miami to Midtown Miami) and the Beach Urban Area segment terminating at the Miami Beach Convention Center. 251 41��t�1L N ,vc NOTICE Thlssubm 1needsb be echedu�d ter a public heahny ccoId., witty hmelll. settorth in the city& Miami:We .

Neighborhood Characteristics: The analysis considers the general proposed location of the stations as identified bythe Tri-Rail Station Area Opportunity Plan and the PD&E studies forthe Beach Corridor and "Overlap Area" of the Northeast/Beach Corridors. The locational aspects of the station areas were analyzed to determine the degree in which the quantity and quality of access, amenities, and services within the district are sufficient to support transit -oriented development (TOD). The evaluation criteria include an analysis of the existing urban form (block and street grid), pedestrian access, bicycle access, and transit service frequency. 2. Neighborhood Area Vision: This evaluation criteria reviews the community's vision for the Station Areas as documented intheSMART Plan Charrette reportsand considers identified opportunitiesfor redevelopment within the Beach/Northeast SMART Plan Corridor "Overlap Area" and the Beach Corridor. The Station Area Centers or Districts are defined as the land area within a 1/2-mile radius of the potential stations as identified by the PD&E studies locally preferred alternatives.Yet it is notenough fordevelopmentto be neartransit.TOD must beshaped by and forthe communities in which they are built. TOD is more than mixed -use developmentora multi -building development project. Each TOD may look different and have a different primary function, but successful TOD shares a set of planning and design principles. These principles shape the land use, circulation, urban form and overall performance. This analysis considers the District Area's capacity to attract ridership and serve transit - dependent populations or high -density population/employment centers while providing connectivity to the overall multimodal transportation network. The District Area Vision also considers the proposed Urban Center Typology for each Station Area as defined in the Miami -Dade County's Adopted 2020-2030 Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP), updated in June 2018, as well as a District Typology for neighborhoods as defined in ReconnectingAmerica and the CenterforTransit-Oriented DevelopmentTOD202Station Area Planning. 252 NOTICE Thls submittal needsto be echedu�db, a p0k hexhny — wkh t-11—set ronh m the City w mi—Code.

Three scales of centers are planned: Regional, Metropolitan and Community. Yet another categorization that occurs at the level of Urban Neighborhood District may be occurring in Midtown, Wynwood/Edgewater and Miami Beach, where transit is often less a focal point for activity than it is in the station "center" category, and where stations may be located atthe edge oftwo or more distinct neighborhoods. Many districts in Miami and Miami Beach were developed at the time, where streetcars were the connective tissue of mobility that defined the street patterns, and are suitable for investment in a new rapid transit system. Densities are usually higher immediately adjacent to the primary transit stations but spread more evenly throughout the half -mile radius. 3. Supportive Land Use and Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) Potential: The analysis provides an overview of the land use and zoning regulations stipulated by each municipality currently mapped within a half - mile radius of each identified station location. This analysis assesses whetherthe current regulatory environment allows for the development of land uses and building forms typically seen in TOD (such as vertical mixed -use development, multi -family housing, live -work housing, etc.), and the degree to which the regulations allow for development that is walkable and sustainable. Based on evaluations of comprehensive plans and coordination with localjurisdictions, in addition to analysis of potential densityand intensityofdevelopment within the Station Area Centers or Districts, land use regulatory consistency has been documented to assess the TOD-readiness of each Station Area. TheTOD potential readiness criteria evaluatethe physical and infrastructure frameworkofthe Station Area to assess the level of readiness to support new development and determines the potential capacity for new development. Criteria include: plan in place, transit -supportive zoning, developable land (vacant and underutilized), ownership fragmentation, and if special district (in place). 253 5.2.2.2 TOD Analysis Summary Table 5-27: SMART Plan TOD Analysis Summary N ,vc NOTICE Thlasubm 1need, to be scheduled tar a p,bLc hearing �ardana w&o 11'e; �etronh m the Citym Miami Code.

PZ-20-6058 Existing Land Use — Miami Beach Urban District 09/19/22 The Miami Beach Urban Neighborhood District consists of 3.3-square miles of prime waterfr ' e located on the Southern Area of the City of Miami Beach bounded by Biscayne Bay and Alton Road to the west, the Convention Center District to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Government Cut on the south. The Miami Beach Urban District is distinguished by havingthe largest concentrated collection ofArt Deco Buildings in the country, a Historic District designated in the National Register in 1979. This unique mixed -use urban environment complemented with white sand beaches is one of the premier destinations fortourism in the Greater Miami Area. The City of Miami Beach attracts about 6 million visitors a year. Unlike Miami -Dade County and its municipalities that continue to grow at a steady rate, Miami Beach has experienced moderate Hill development balancing issues of preservation, resiliency and quality of life for its residents, with economic growth. Over 30% of the land area of the mixed -use district is comprised of medium density zone (25 du/acre to 60 du/ acre and a high density zone (60 du/acre to 125 du/acre) in the land area fronting the waterfront on West Avenue and South Point, which are the most populated mixed -use residential/districts. About 26% of the land area is designated as lower density zone, which is mostly centered in The Flamingo Park Historic Neighborhood. Ground floor retail and commercial activities throughout the urban district are well defined in an urban pattern configuration ofsmall blockswithin easy walking distance to the proposed station locations. Moving forward, an enhancement of the pedestrian environment that would include wider sidewalks and dedicated bicycle paths, will improve the mobility opportunities within the Urban Neighborhood District. From a market perspective, the greatest challenge lies in the reinvestment opportunities along the three mixed - use corridors in this district- 5th Street, Washington Avenue and Alton Road- which face a set of challenges that originate from the aspects of resiliency and preservation of historic buildings, urban form and scale. The recent zoning change that lowered or excluded parking standards in order to reduce automobile traffic and promote multi -modal transportation in Washington Avenue, has attracted several investment opportunities in hospitality uses. The City has committed to construct municipal parking garages as part oftheir capita[ improvement program through both public and public -private partnerships to help alleviate some of the initial parking shortfall while simultaneously evaluating future local transit alternatives to improve mobility solutions in their long-range plan. The consideration of land use changes that would incentivize office uses in the future in these corridors, would be important to the success of further enhancingthe market dynamics already in place while balancingthe quality of life issues of the existing residential community. Importantto note isthat a significant numberof acres in this Urban District are dedicated to parks and recreation areas such as Flamingo Park, Lummus park, and South Pointe Park, thatare enjoyed by notonlythe City residents, but by all Miami -Dade residents as well as visitors. 258 Figure 5-31: Existing Land Use within City of Miami Beach Urban Distri ramn pyysP NOTICE lhksabmitfal,,edam tx.hedWed far a pubLc hearing cord,,,, with tlm,li,es set f,nh in the City of Miami CM,.

PZ-20-6058 This report documents Land Use Scenario and Visioning Planning for the Beach and Nor + 09/19/22 CorridorsinMiami-Dade County. The two corridors were studied together because the study areas o ' Downtown Miami and Midtown Miami. The purpose of land use visioning is to integrate transportation and land use planning, wherebyto maximize the effectiveness of transit investments in these SMART Plan corridors. 6.1 Northeast Corridor The limits of the Northeast Corridor are from Downtown Miami to City ofAventura alongthe existing FEC railway for an approximate length of 14.5 miles. The PD&E study has so far identified the transit mode (cc commuter passenger rail), alignment (existing FEC railroad), and six preliminary station locations in Miami -Dade County. However, the PD&E study is currently on -hold until negotiations with FEC Railway for securing track access are complete alongwith the identification of a funding source forthe project's operations and maintenance. The population within a half -mile buffer alongthe corridor is estimated to grow from 152,000 in 2010to 263,000 in 2040, a 73 percent increase. Similarly, employment is estimated to grow from 112,000 in 2010 to 158,000 in 2040, a 52 percent increase. With population centers such as Downtown Miami, Overtown/Wynwood, Midtown Miami, North Miami, North Miami Beach, and Aventura, and an existing rail corridor, the Northeast Corridor is in one of the mosttransit ready areas in Miami -Dade County. 6.1.1 Charrettes and Stakeholder Coordination Charrettes Two series of well -attended charrettes were conducted at key milestones to obtain public input for the land use visioning process. The first series, consisting of three charrettes held in North Miami, Miami Beach and Miami, focused on obtaining public inputforthe development of land use scenarios. Through "live polling" and breakout sessions, the participants provided input on the existing land use mix and transportation options, how the communities should grow, preferred land uses, and desired multimodal connections between origins and destinations. Workforce housing, mixed use developments, office, service, and recreational were amongthe uses that the participants would like to see enhanced within the Northeast Corridor. See Section 4.1 for additional information on the first series of charrettes. The second series, consisting of two charrettes, was conducted to obtain public input for the preliminary preferred land use scenario. These charrettes also included a social media component that allowed the public to join the charrettes via Facebook. During a "LEGO exercise" the participants allocated the preliminary SMART Plan population and employment growth projections to each station area. The attendees also identified first - mile/ last -mile connections needed for accessing transit. Overall, the charrette input indicated broad support for premium transit along the Northeast Corridor and transit -oriented development (TOD). See Section 4.2 for additional information on the second series of charrettes. Stakeholder Meetings AStudyAdvisory Committee (SAC) was formed comprised of representatives of local and state agenciesto provide input forthe Beach and Northeast Corridor land use visioning. The committee met five times during the study. In addition to providing input forthe land use scenarios and technical material, the SAC also assisted in announcing charettes and encouraging the public to participate in the charrettes. 268 NOTICE Thls submittal needsto be echedu�db, a p0k hexhny — wkh t-11—set ronh m the City w mi—Code.

The TOC meetings were used to plan charreOMMSO approach for land use scenario development, and to ensure consistency among different corridor studies. In addition to the technical committee meetings, 13 meetings were conducted with municipal staff and elected officials to brief the study process and obtain input. Additional information on the stakeholder meetings is presented in Section 4.3. 6.1.2 Land Use Scenarios Development Preliminary Land Use Scenarios Three preliminary land use scenarios were developed and evaluated for the Northeast Corridor. These scenarios considered different growth possibilities associated with the implementation of commuter rail service in the Northeast Corridor. In addition to the three build scenarios, socioeconomic data projections for year 2040 from the SERPM Version 7 were considered as the Baseline Trend Scenario (i.e., growth without implementation of the SMART Plan). The overlap area between the Northeast and Beach Corridors, and potential alignments of Beach Corridorwere key factors in alternatives testing. 1. Build Scenario 1 "In Town -Downtown" — This scenario assigned most of the SMART Plan growth in Downtown Miami recognizing its' role as a regional centerwith two SMART transit corridors (Northeast and Beach) connecting Downtown Miami with major population centers and destinations. The other station areas were assumed to experience modest growth beyond the Trend Growth. Overall, the Scenario 1 results in a net population increase of 19,000 and a net employment increase of 11,000 (beyond the Baseline Trend Scenario) along the Northeast Corridor by 2040. 2. Build Scenario 2 "SMARTShift" —This scenario shifts the core of SMART PIangrowth from Downtown Miami tothe neighboring Wynwood/Edgewaterareas. Under the Scenario 2, Wynwood/Edgewaterwas envisioned to experience significant SMART Plan growth, including a mixed use/residential district in Edgewater along Biscayne Bay and the Health District expansion. Downtown Miami will remain the employment hub and other station areas will experience moderate growth beyond the Trend Growth. Overall, the Scenario 2 estimates to result in a net population increase of41,900 and a net employment increase of28,500 (beyond the Baseline Trend Scenario) along the Northeast Corridor by 2040. 3. Build Scenario 3 "Highly Connected" — This scenario envisions growth spread out along the corridor, and the core of the SMART Plan growth shifting further north from Wynwood/Edgewater to Midtown/Design District. Significant SMART Plan growth possibilities include residential developments in Midtown, mixed -use redevelopments in North Miami Beach, and non-residential developments inAventura. North Miami and Upper East Side/El Portal were envisioned to experience community scale growth with some densification. Overall, the Scenario 3 estimates to result in a net population increase of 45,100 and a net employment increase of 32,000 (beyond the Baseline Trend Scenario) alongthe Northeast Corridor by 2040. See Section 3.1 for additional information on the preliminary land use scenarios. 269 NOTICE Thlssubm 1newish de achedu�d ter a public heahny ccoId—wi&hmellness f.dh in the city& Miami:We .

PZ-20-6058 Preferred Land Use Scenario N(SAIM10 The preliminary land use scenarios were vetted through the Study Advisory Committee working meetings with TPO staff. In addition, FTA's Land Use Criteria for evaluating New Starts applications and ridership estimates developed using FTA's STOPS model were also used to evaluate the land use scenarios. The Preferred Land Use Scenario is a hybrid of the three preliminary land use scenarios. The key features of the Preferred Land Use Scenario include: growth generally spread out along the corridor; Downtown Miami remains as the regional center for residential and employment growth; Aventura continues to grow as an employment center; a mixed use residential district in Edgewater; mixed use development in North Miami Beach; and the potential for an in -fill station in Wynwood/Edgewater. Overall, the Preferred Land Use Scenario estimates to result in a net population increase of 44,500 and a net employment increase of 30,000 (beyond the Baseline Trend Scenario) alongthe Northeast Corridor by 2040. The STOPS model forecasts estimate the Northeast Corridor commuter rail service to attract approximately 15,500 hoardings on a typical weekday in 2040, which is a 35 percent increase over the Trend Scenario. Further, the STOPS model forecasts the Metromover extension in the overlap area to attract approximately 8,800 hoardings on atypical weekday in 2040, which is a 26 percent increase overthe Trend Scenario. The FTA's Land Use Criteria indicate a Medium -High rating for employment and a High rating for population density. These results confirm the Northeast Corridor's potential for premium transit service. See Section 5.1.1 for additional information. 6.1.3 Land Use Policy Analysis An analysis was performed to determine if existing land use policies and regulations support the projected SMART Plan growth, indudingTOD, and if any changes may be needed. This analysis focused on the station area: identified as the land area within a half -mile radius of each identified station location in the FDOT PD&E study. In addition, a determination was made if the station area vision aligns with the station typology. As summarized in Table 5-27, transit supportive land use policies are already in place in Aventura, North Miami Beach, and Miami. In addition, North Miami and El Portal are in the process of updating future land use and zoning regulations to support increased density within the proposed station areas while preserving community characteristics. All station typologies were found to be consistent with the location station area visions. The station areas with the highest TOD potential include Miami Central, Midtown/Design District, North Miami Beach and Aventura. The TOD potential of station areas in North Miami and Upper East Side/El Portal was assessed to be medium/low based on existing regulations. See Section 5.1.2 for additional information, including station area analysis. 6.1.4 Northeast Corridor Transit Oriented Development Analysis Summary Table 6-1 summarizes the TOD analysis for station areas along the Northeast Corridor.

The LPA recommended by the PD&E study for the Beach Corridor was endorsed by the Miami -Dade TPO Governing Board on January 30, 2020. The LPA identifies (1) extension of the Metromover in the median of Miami Avenue to NW 41 Street in the Design District; (2) elevated rubbertire vehicles on the Trunklinefrom the existing Downtown MetromoverOmniStation alongtheMacArthurCauseway to5Street nearWashington Avenue in Miami Beach, and (3) trolley or bus serve on dedicated transit lanes along Washington Avenue extending to the Miami Beach Convention Center. The area served by the Beach Corridor includes the Miami Beach station area/district and three station areas/districts within the Beach -Northeast overlap area (Downtown Miami, Wynwood/Edgewater, and Midtown/Design District). The population within a halfmilebuffer along the corridor in the Miami Beach station area/district is estimated to grow from 47,195 in 2010 to 63,369 in 2040, a 34 percent increase. Similarly, employment in the Miami Beach station area segment is estimated to grow from 47,567 in 2010 to 68,733 in 2040, a 44 percent increase. 6.2.1 Charrettes and Stakeholder Coordination The charrettes and stakeholder meetings for the Beach Corridor were conducted in coordination with the effort for the Northeast Corridor.

The virtual workshop was held on Thursday, May 7, 2020, involving stakeholder agencies, including staff from the City of Miami Beach to obtain input forthe Beach Corridor preferred land use planning and visioning scenario. Do the same changed on the Beach Preferred Land Use Scenario section. The Preferred Land Use Scenario does not forecast additional population and employment for the Miami Beach station area, as the Trend Scenario already accounts for significant baseline growth by 2040. However, population and employment growth reallocations were assigned to indicate potential growth nearthe proposed transit nodes in Miami Beach. Some population growth was reallocated from the CollinsAvenue corridorto potential redevelopment areas near transit nodes along 5th Street. Similarly, some employment was reallocated from the Collins Avenue corridorto the areas nearthe Miami Beach Convention Center. The STOPS mode[forecaststhe Beach Corridortra nsit services to collectively attract approximately40,100 hoardings on a typical weekday in 2040, which is a 16 percent increase overthe Trend Scenario. The employment and population density associated with each scenario were compared with the FTA's New Starts Land Use criteria outlined in Table5-25 and the resulting ratings are summarized in Tables-26.The Preferred Land Use Scenario results in a Medium -High rating for employment and a High rating for population density. Overall, Medium -High or High ratings reaffirm the Beach Corridor's strong suitability for premium transitservice. 6.2.3 Land Use Policy Analysis An analysiswas performed to determine if existing land use policies and regulations supportthe projected SMART Plan growth, includingTOD, and ifanychanges may be needed.This analysis focused on the Urban Neighborhood District of Midtown, the Wynwood/Edgewater Districts extending to Downtown Miami, and the extension of the Beach Corridorto the Miami Beach Convention Center with proposed station locations as per the PD&E studies. In addition, a determination was made regarding whether the station area vision aligns with the District typo logy. As summarized in Table5-27, transit supportive land use policies are already in place in Miami and Miami Beach. All District typologies were found to be consistent with the district area visions. The District areas were found to have high TOD potential. The underlying land use and zoning regulations within the Beach Corridor support the SMART Plan vision whereby transit enhances mobility within the corridor area and connects uses that are characterized by higher densities, pedestrian -oriented design, and mixofusestosupporttransitridership and successfully leveragetheplace-making potential of transit investments. The current regulatory framework within the urban neighborhood districts of Midtown, the Wynwood/Edgewater Districts extendingto Downtown Miami and in Miami Beach support ongoing development trends in housing, mixed use, and employmentto ensure a framework fortrue integrated land use and transitwith the potential for successfu [outcomes. The density, mix, and pattern of land uses around identified station locations indicate transit -supportive conditions including improved mobility, equitable development, and a significant reduction in resulting vehicle trips, vehicle miles traveled, and travel times.

A side effect of this vibrancy is its traffic congestion. In recent years, in an effort to improve mobility, the City has been presented with the opportunity to introduce public transit solutions that improve its connectivity, economic vitality and quality of life by investing on future TODs and the areas around future transportation stops. This study outlines strategies to enhance the future development around three of the proposed Tri-Rail Coastal Link Stations. The TRI-RAIL COASTAL LINK Station Area Studies propose the reintroduction of passenger rail service to the historic downtowns of South Florida along a 85-mile stretch of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway corridor from downtown Miami to Jupiter. The stations, within the boundaries of the Cityof Miami, that this study looks at are: Downtown, Midtown and Little River (79th Street). The introduction of transit stations will undoubtedly result in new development and re -investment around these new transportation hubs. This study considers challenges and opportunities for each location, resulting in guidelines and recommendations that provide a holistic approach to improvements, encouraging Transit -Oriented Development that is in concert with new mobility options --connecting safely and conveniently to increase ridership. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) are the regional partnership behind the project. PROJECTI5 M IAM I LAND TRANSPORTATION HISTORY Image: Workers lay rail tracks for the Florida East Coast Railway. (Source: Fiedler Museum Archives) After the big freeze in North Florida, Flagler visited Miami to consider the possibility of growing citrus. Julia Tuttle offered Flagler land if he would agree to extend his railroad to Miami, which he accepted, and a contract was signed. Henry Flagler brought his railroad towhat was a sparse settlement (todays City of Miami) occupied by no more than a dozen people. Flagler began developing the area around the station. 1800s - Electric streetcars began to emerge. 1906 — Alabama sets a state maximum speed limit of 8 miles per hour. 1908- Henry Ford introduces the Model Flagler created the Royal Palm Park, the burgeoning City's first public gathering space. Lummus Park and Riverside Park followed shortly after. First big population boom: Miami grew from a town of about 5,500 to a city of 30,000. By the beginning of the 1920s, Flagler Street, then known as Twelfth Street, became the city's hub of activity.

Gottlieb Daimler builds the world's first four - wheeled motor vehicle in 1886. It was too expensive for most Americans. Florida East Coast Railway opened a new Miami station just north of the County Courthouse. 1912-Henry Flagler arrived aboard the first train into Key West, marking the completion of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railways Over -Sea Railroad to Key West. 1913 - Henry Ford installs the first conveyor belt -based assembly line in his factory, reducing production costs and assemblytime, thus making the car more affordable to Americans.

Its incorporation in 1896 gave the City about a decade of pedestrian and non -motorized priority before the mass -production of automobiles in 1908 inundated the City and reconfigured its infrastructure to accommodate the growing demand for vehicular traffic. Since then, Miami has been auto -oriented, our walking habits have been auto -dependent, and our experience of the original small waterfront community has been dictated by lanes of asphalt. 16.3% of the City's total area is dedicated to ROW alone. In Miami, 72% of the population travels to work by car while only 5.3% uses transit. What are the reasons for this low walkability and transit usage? How can we improve walkability and expand choices so that car trips are not always the predominant mode but rather one of many choices for mobility? Surely the tropical heat and unpredictable weather is a main factor, but is that the only reason? What infrastructure improvements and land use options are there that could make walking, biking and transit ridership the preferred choice of mobility? Is it the lack of a complete cycling and pedestrian networks? Or proper street safety that is keeping us away from using our bicycles? How can public transit be more accessible? What do we need to improve to make transit a better choice, increasing ridership and reducing automobile -dependency and in turn the traffic congestion that is choking our City? Other cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco experience extreme weather too, but many of their residents prefer walking, cycling, and public transit to get around. Their investment, not only on the transit system itself, but in the infrastructure to access those services has proven key to their systems' success. Not surprisingly, these are considered the cities with the best public transit in the U.S., according to the new Transit Score® rankings. This poses two questions: is the City of Miami ready to become a multi -modal city, and what improvements need to be put in place in order to achieve a more balanced, democratic and accessible mobility system that these other major cities have achieved? The good news is that Miami has the bones (the infrastructure) to re - calibrate itself. So why is it that Miami is lagging behind its infrastructure compared to the other cities? The answer is simple: Miami, unlike most cities its size is a younger metropolitan center that never had the opportunity to develop as a walkable urban community.

PZ-20-6058 / \\ 09/19/22 /f In recent years, the dense development concentrations in urban cores like downtown have been a reaction to people's desire to live more urban lifestyles. Aided by the introduction of Miami's zoning code, the Miami21, a Form -Based -Code that promotes centers and edges, the City's urban fabric is slowly becoming more walkable and bikeable, with multiple centers and destinations - increasing the potential for mass -connectivity between multiple denser cores that can support transit. Distances to and from work and amenities are oftentimes within walking distance, and access to daily needs as well as feeling the vibrant atmosphere only a city center can offer are improving. With multiple mixed -use projects being built, and the reduction of distances between land uses, the existing auto -centric infrastructure struggles to support the rapid population increase and becomes an impediment to trips that could be done on foot, bike or transit. Yet, many infrastructure improvements today are still focused on vehicular movement, striving to ease the current traffic patterns and conditions rather than enabling non -motorized or transit solutions to become the panacea to our grid -lock. Short trip analysis and access to transit is arguably the best approach that cities like Miami have focused on to reduce and mitigate traffic congestion, as shown in cities around the globe that have faced the same rapid densification and traffic ills. The best option to improve traffic flow is to provide other mobility options, in essence -- reducing the number of cars on the streets. With new inter -city commuter options and the reinvestment in Miami -Dade County's and the City's public transportation systems, and improved access to those facilities will ultimately provide the choice to turn drivers into riders - essentially improving mobility throughout our metro area. ((We are experiencing a mobility renaissance throughout the country - new transportation modes, a yearning for options and record -high living costs are making cities look to their past. Miami's short history does not have an automobile free history, for this reason, we need to be innovative with solutions that make our city thrive overcoming the challenges that all world cities face today.» 81 MIAMI 21 TOD I TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT STATISTICS AND FACTS Today's 20-something Americans drive approximately 20% less than their parents did when they were in their 20's.** 20% of the median income in the City of Miami is spent on transportation.

M PROJECT APPROACH COMPLETE DISTRICTS CITIES ARE NETWORKS THAT LINK PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAND, THE BALANCE OF WHICH IS PARAMOUNT TO MAKE PLACES GREAT. This balance is symbiotic in that all elements are part of a system and they depend on each other to function. It is only when a district's components are well -tuned and calibrated that they make great places. The concept of Complete Districts takes a holistic approach that balances a city's public and private realms. The private realm includes our homes and indoor life, the spaces where only the invited can go. Properties and building facades are private. The public realm includes city streets, sidewalks, parks and plazas-, civic spaces and places that everyone has the right to visit, following the concept of the common resources that are available to all members of a society. Both public and private realms need to work together as an important component of a true city. Before the majority of America commuted by car, the public realm was the center of city life. Now that people demand a variety of travel modes, they are turning away from an automobile - centric public realm-, they demand to take back their streets and sidewalks as public spaces.

In the midst of today's increasing social problems, people's constant interactions within their society are what will change civilizations for the better. Public spaces are the catalyst for this change. "The architecture of the city and public space is a matter of common concern to the same degree as laws and language. They are the foundation of civility and civilization." -Leon Krier COMPLETE DISTRICTS IS THE APPROACH TO CREATE AND OFFER A WELL-BALANCED TRANSIT -ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. The ultimate goal is to provide connections to stations for all users through a variety of travel modes, considering each user's entire journey from origin to destination, and understanding that the transit experience extends beyond the stations influenced by the quality of the built environment that leads to them.

Currently there are a number of challenges transit users face when using existing networks; this include but are not limited to topics related to: access, safety, quality of life and maintenance. Consequently, MDC Ridership Technical Reports show a reduction in the overall system's ridership, thus reducing the size/rage/impact of the transit access sheds around stations and the discretionary use within current access sheds. Access sheds are defined by the distance people travel in a set duration of time. For example, if pedestrians are willing to walk up to fifteen POLICY: 1/4 and 1/2 mile radii - Regardless of physical barriers (as the crow flies). REALITY: I 10 PU$L/C I . . Il �►� 9evl ew co0Q� minutes to a given station (assuming they walk 4 m/hr), general POLICY defines the access shed by a half mile radius centered on the station. In REALITY this access shed is compromised by the street grid, its continuity, breaks in the network, location, number of street crossings, and fluctuations in the average speed of pedestrians due to traffic patterns, crossing characteristics, and sidewalk conditions. The GOAL is to implement effective strategies that will work to increase, not only the physical size of access sheds but also the perceptual range around transit stations while improving access conditions within those sheds; permitting transit users to effectively and comfortably move around to their destination. Physical and perceptual barriers reduce the actual travel range and affect accessibility. GOAL: i F \ 1 Infrastructure improvements and the introduction of mobility options have the ability to outperform policy standards. 141 MIAMI 21 TOD I TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT 10 Que���ti F� 0 �Z a � ,4, iM �Q��� V,EW 00 r rr . � Y k9 + Yi Ah Y 1e A A \. tl, i Free ee+A IY A Y# e i v. ++ 4- eA #1#�#IllFli,l I+e y e,� f ��1�11t11����I�AFI AeA,}Fr �lFf'�II+�1�}I Yeeee iiAi e e � � A`tl1 � 11pMhFY iAYI11'j:� �°• + �a e� 1 .eYY1.�a,hAM.a�J _ u A_Y�e .E RIVER STATION ST MIAMI MIDTOWN STATION 29TH ST OR 36TH ST MIAMI `MIAMI CENTRAL STATION 11 DOWNTOWN MIAMI '�nfeSnnnmuLpnuu� NOTICE This subn,inal needs.. scheduled far a pubLc hearing in mrdanc'e with timelines set forth in the City of Miami Ccde.The applicade dxision-making bcdywill renew N,infann ,at the public hearing t, renders mend— or a final deciaon. ��PZ-20-6058 71�\ 09/19/22 STATION AREA TYPOLOGIES [Regional Center] DOWNTOWN L� : -I_n - ��Cl- -�,�� �� r _ �F_ Jr _IL Fp-- LJ IF Regional Centers are places of economic and cultural significance, including downtowns and central business districts, which serve a regional travel market and contain a rich mix of transit types, ranging from high speed, heavy, or commuter rail, to BRT and local bus service. Usually emphasizing employment uses, Regional Centers are increasingly being sought out for residential uses in response to changing demographics and housing preferences. They are larger in size than Community Centers and Neighborhood Centers and tend to contain more than onetransit station and multiple bus stops. Small block sizes, more lot coverage, higher intensities and densities of development, civic open spaces, and minimal surface parking result in a highly urban development pattern in Regional Centers. r' \ j f L \ I 1 J li 1. [Community Center] MIDTOWN Li �} Community Centers function as sub -regional or local centers of economic and community activity and include urban and town centers served by one or more transit types. Residential densities in Community Centers are typically lower that of Regional Centers, but the mix of uses in them creates a greater balance between residential and employment uses. More intense and dense development in Community Centers tends to be concentrated within walking distance of the transit station. The pattern of development in Community Centers ranges from urban to suburban-, block sizes, lot coverage, and development intensities and densities all tend to be moderate. Parking is typically structured and located close to the transit stations. ,gyp puet/C REVI Ew [Neighborhood Center] LITTLE RIVER Neighborhood Centers are dominated by residential uses and are served by some type of premium transit. Non-residential uses are limited to retail serving local goods and services. Residential densities in Neighborhood Centers tend to be lower than in Community Centers and are at their highest within walking distance of the transit station. Neighborhood Centers are found in older urban areas and newer suburban developments. Open space is usually abundant and parking is mostly in surface lots.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY [Regional Center] DOWNTOWN [Community Center] MIDTOWN STATION AREA ACCESSIBILITY SURVEY STATION AREA SCENARIOS This study provides an assessment of the existing conditions of the infrastructure and built environment of the public and private realms within a quarter mile radius of Miami Central Station. A set of strategies and recommendations are proposed to improve accessibility to, from and around the station. The goal of these recommendations is to encourage ridership and interconnectivity between modes by improving safety and comfort to users of all modes of transportation. The study also considers future mobility improvements that incorporate resilient investment strategies. This fast developing area has become a destination in Miami with three different centers of activity: to the north, the Design District- to the south, Wynwood; and Midtown centered between the two. Edgewater to the east, also a high density development area along Biscayne Boulevard that will be served by the station. The study looks at demographical data, physical constraints, and opportunities among the three nodes, examining potential future development patterns, regulations, and context along the rail line in an attempt to provide the most suitable location for a station. 1�J L11Y'f]F� NOTICE rni.e, m t Ih.&. dm,. p.bk h.,,,g h .�o�a.�� wim um.h11ld fl& I tn.

It is considered the business, social and cultural epicenter of the Americas, which capitalizes on its unique position as a major world city in a tropical waterfront environment (Downtown Development Authority Master Plan 2025 Vision Statement) This study considers opportunities and challenges to integrate the newly established Miami Central Station as it connects to other modes of transportation as well as the rest of the Downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods. 22 INTRODUCTION 24 STATION AREA BASE ANALYSIS 28 ACCESSIBILITY SURVEY 44 STATION AREA RECOMMENDATIONS �9 �. 4� .�4,REVr Ew co�Q� The station has the potential to affect how people arrive to Downtown and move within this dense urban hub. For this reason, it is important to assess and propose solutions to the new mobility challenges that this station will create. Access and mobility to, from and around the station, specially, by non -motorized modes is necessary to maximize comfort safety and economic investment. To improve and capture this added value, the study recommends mobility improvement around Miami Central Station and its Transit Shed. n r. [REGIONAL CENTER] DOWNTOWN MiamiCentral Station in Downtown Miami is located around the Central Business District, Brickell Financial District, Historic District, Government Center, Omni and Park West. It is bordered by Midtown to the north, Biscayne Bay to the east, Civic Center + Overtown to the west, and the Miami River + Brickell to the south. Brickell Avenue, North Miami Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard are its main north -south thoroughfares, while Flagler Street is its main east -west thoroughfare. This REGIONAL CENTER is located at the heart of the Miami urban core with the region's largest concentration of employment and the highest rates of walking and bus/rail transit ridership in Miami -Dade County. Significant redevelopment and increase in density have taken place in the past, and a similar trend is expected to continue in the future. This will likely strengthen downtown Miami's commercial base as well its competitiveness as a World City. Miami Central Station will become the primary transit hub for Downtown Miami serving Brightline, and the Downtown Tri-Rail connection to existing Metrorail, Metromover, and Metrobus system. MiamiCentral Station will eventually provide inter -city, regional and commuter train services, further consolidating Downtown's role as the primary transportation hub for the region connecting millions of riders to various transit alternatives. The station will also be a 24-hour activity hub with retail, entertainment, business, and residential uses.

The introduction of additional commuter transit modes creates a higher demand for non -motorized means of mobility. Therefore, the redesign of right-of-ways to accommodate new mobility options is necessary. The following strategies are intended to create a well-connected network throughout the Downtown. These recommendations acknowledge the relationship between land use and transportation by considering context -sensitive street design. Furthermore, these recommendations address how to balance the needs for space on the streets including safety, mobility, creating vibrant frontages and attractive public spaces. 1.1 RE -BALANCING STATION AREA'S ROWs Re -balance the streets by re -allocating space currently used for parking or travel lanes to other uses. Alternatively, travel or parking lanes that are too wide can simply be narrowed, slowing traffic down and creating more space for other uses. These can include wider sidewalks with space for trees, seating and other amenities, high -quality protected bike lanes, or transit priority lanes that improve bus operations. Reducing the spaceImage: Typicaibus stop inMiami.(Source PiusurbiaDesign) dedicated to cars also makes crossing the streets easier and safer for pedestrians and cyclists. » NW/NE 5th Street is a high speed, one-way street with three lanes of traffic for cars and at times two parking rows. Removing a parking lane or a travel lane could accommodate a high -quality protected bike lane. The 2017 Miami -Dade TPO Protected Bike Lanes report recommended this change to NW/NE 5th Street as well as on NW/NE 6th Street, N/S Miami Avenue, and NE/SE 1st Avenue in Downtown Miami. » Consider the use of permeable infrastructure to provide passive drainage during flooding events (travel, parking and sidewalk pavement, tree -wells, etc).

Because Downtown Miami is designed to accommodate peak -hour motor vehicle traffic, the wide multi -lane one-way streets that traverse it are often below capacity during the rest of the day, allowing for dangerously high speeds. » Implement Pedestrian Priority Zone plan prepared by the Miami DDA to maintain safe speeds that make walking and cycling safer and more pleasant in Downtown. » Consider lowering the vehicular speed limit to 20 mph or slower throughout the quarter mile radius from the station to increase safety between modes. 1.3 CONGESTION MANAGEMENT Downtown's livability and economy depends on its ability to provide fluid networks such as reliable transportation of goods, services and information which are key to the success of any city core. Congestion of these networks can seriously damage the functionality and reliability of the downtown, impairing its ability to be compete with other urban centers. Vehicular congestion in Downtown Miami has reached similar critical conditions as other major cities around the world. The following are policies that have proven successful to reduce congestion and pollution in urban centers: » Establish non -motorized priority orexclusivezones. Likemanycities facing extreme congestion, Downtown Miami could limit vehicular access in some areas to improve and create incentives for biking and walking. This strategy can be considered as a permanent ban, or during specific times of the day [see Madrid Pedestrian Plan, Brussels City Center and San Francisco 2017 Market Plan]. » Establish a Downtown CCZ (Congestion Charge Zone) policy. [see London CCZ]. This strategy will reduce congestion and improve traffic fluidity. Furthermore, as proven in other cities, it provides a source of funding that may be applied back into the network.

The "High -Comfort Streets" typically run more local and have little to moderate volume of traffic. The "High -Stress Streets" on the other hand, are often mare of the commuter avenues that support high volumes of traffic. As illustrated in the diagram above, the majority of streets in the study area that provide access to MiamiCentral Station are not conducive or safeto ride a bicycle. (Source: Plusurbla Design) 481 MIAMI 21 TOD I TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Establish schedule for large service vehicles to operate that does not conflict with peak traffic hours. Consider relief for small businesses service conditions to minimize impact to smaller commercial tenants. Limit access to local traffic only in certain areas at certain times. Similar to the strategies that could be used for non -motorized priority or exclusive zones, Limited Access Zones may use mechanical bollards and other traffic management elements to achieve this measure. 1.4 CYCLIST NETWORK Downtown streets were surveyed based on speed limits, the number of lanes, the volume of traffic (cars and people), and whether or not they had protected or separate bike lanes. In our analysis of the 1/4 mile radius, 85%of the streets are identified as High -Stress Streets for cycling (see diagram 01). Provide a well inter -connected and secure cycling network by: Identifying opportunitiesto accommodate high -quality bike infrastructure wherever possible and where the ROW conditions permit it. Providing clearly marked signage and stencils on pavement wherever any type of bike infrastructure exists, such as cycle lanes, shared streets or physically separated lanes. Enforce lane blocking sternly - blocked bicycle lanes are one of the major points of conflict and safety. Considering implementing traffic calming measures and speed control to maintain a target vehicular speed of 20 mph or less whenever sharing lanes with other modes. Example: NW 2nd Ave. 1.5 CYCLE/SCOOTER PARKING INFRASTRUCTURE Provide ample, secure, multi -space bicycle parking facilities at or near the transit station areas. Assign reserved curb space for bike/scooter-share parking to avoid "clutter" and avoid interference with people walking on the sidewalks. When space is not available on the sidewalks re -purpose on -street car parking spaces for bike -share parking. Include bicycle repair stations closer to stations to improve the reliability of cycling as a mode of transport or recreational activity.

In addition,`'. many lack curb cuts creating accessibility problems for people with disabilities failing to provide adequate space for street trees, seating, y or bus shelters. In addition, multiple curb -cuts for service and parking create uneven conditions that make walkability a challenge. These action steps should be implemented to improve sidewalk conditions: Bring all sidewalks in Downtown into a good state of repair. Increase urban tree canopy by planting native shade trees in existing _ empty tree wells, and implement and activate public spaces. f Remove poorly installed signage to increase usable sidewalk space and add curb cuts at locations where they are missing.

Prohibit right turns at red lights throughout the downtown area will help prevent crosswalk occupation by cars and reduce conflicts. Program Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI's) into traffic signals to give pedestrians - vulnerable to left turning vehicles - extra time to establish their presence in the crosswalk before motorists can start turning. All traffic signal crossings should be upgraded with Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) devices for pedestrians who are blind or who have low vision. 1.8 DESIGNATED RIDE -SHARE DROP-OFF LOCATIONS Provide intuitive clearly marked pick up and drop off areas that are easily accessible and visible to all users. Consider the station type and land use context in the specific design priorities for the station. 1.9 CHARGING STATIONS The electric vehicle (EV) industry has expanded in recent years. The availability of public charging infrastructure is significantly linked to high EV adoption rates in cities. By facilitating access to charging stations, local government can benefit from the ecological and economic benefits it brings. >> Develop codes and policies to allow and encourage charging stations to be installed in more areas throughout the Station Area. >> Launch a pilot project to install EV charging stations throughout Downtown, and make them accessible to the public through web based maps or other EV-related apps which show the availability of public charging stations in an area. >> Develop EV ready code packages to ensure buildings and parking infrastructure can accommodate electric vehicles. 1.10 ACTIVE PARKING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Active parking management is the dynamic management of parking facilities in a region to optimize performance and utilization of those facilities while influencing travel behavior at various stages along the trip making process: i.e., from origin to destination.

(Source:EURIST) © 2018 PLUSURBIA LLC RECOMMENDATIONS 151 Safety and Comfort refer to infrastructure vital to quality of life, which includes the all the city's systems. Its goal is to make transit users comfortable and safe while traveling. Adequate planning and maintenance of this infrastructure contributes to the health, comfort, environmental resilience, economic productivity, and social connectedness of Downtown. It includes both hard-scape and the natural environment, urban amenities, street-scape and outdoor spaces, which are key components in mitigating the impacts of climate change. 2.1 TREE CANOPY High temperatures during much of the year in Miami can make walking and cycling an uncomfortable experience. Unshaded pavement and concrete retains and radiates heat, making it even hotter creating an urban heat island effect. Many streets in Downtown lack street trees and in some cases, where they are present, they are palm trees that offer little shade. Provide shade trees on all streets (only when trees are not possible other shading devices should be used). It is important that both sides of the streets have trees to maximize the tree canopies and make sidewalks more comfortable for pedestrians. Trees not only add shade to sidewalks, but they also add a myriad of additional benefits such as serving as a protective buffer between pedestrians and vehicular traffic, increasing the aesthetic quality of the street, and improving storm water management. Plant shade trees in public spaces and encourage developers to do the same on private and public land as part of their development. Protect mature trees from new development during construction. 2.2 SHADE AND SHELTER Building arcades and awnings are effective ways of creating shade and shelter from the rain for people walking on sidewalks and should be encouraged in new development. Green roofs and green walls can also help reduce the urban heat island effect while incorporating greenery into built -out urban areas.

PZ-20-6058 • It 2.3 IMPLEMENT TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES High speed limits and poor street design allow for motorists to drive at dangerous speeds that are incompatible with a highly urban downtown setting where cars frequently mix with people walking or cycling. As vehicle speeds exceed 20 mph, the risk of serious injury or death to a person struck by a car increases dramatically. Additionally, the presence of loud, fast moving traffic degrades the quality of street life by discouraging walking or lingering on the street. >> On streets that lack space to introduce wider, high -quality bicycle infrastructure, traffic calming such as raised crosswalks, narrower travel lanes and curb extensions can maintain safe vehicle speeds and improve the experience of people walking and cycling. >> Planting shade trees along streets can also have a traffic calming effect by creating the perception that the street is narrower. 2.4 LIGHTING >> Increase safety and aid in night navigation for active transportation users. Lighting should consider safety for all modes. Typical Cobra head lighting, still found in many of the study area is not recommended for sidewalk safety. Instead, a variety of lighting solutions should be considered for sidewalks, bike lanes and signage among others. >> Require frontages to be transparent and lit at night. Boarded up ground levels are uninviting and unsafe. 2.5 EYES ON THE STREETS >> To contribute to an atmosphere of safety encourage "eyes on the street" to provide informal surveillance of the urban environment. Ample room for walking, frequent doors and windows with people inside at all hours of the day and attractive spaces are important key elements. >> Require frontages to be transparent and active. Create a "no - vacancy program" with property owners. Image: Main Street sidewalk. (Source: Kris Decker Photography) © 2018 PLUSURBIA LLC Image: Example of "Eyes on the Streets" concept.

I - PZ-20-6058 r 09/19/22 a - -4 a rr, ! e 'e I Complete Districts takes a holistic approach balancing a city's public and private realms. The public realm includes city streets, sidewalks, parks and plazas, civic spaces and places that everyone can visit, while the private realm includes our homes and indoor life, the spaces where only the invited can go. Building facades are private but they form the walls of our public realm's living rooms. Adding and enhancing public spaces that improve the quality of the urban street life and encourage walking and create lively urban neighborhoods is important for all the citizens and visitors to Downtown and plays an important role in increasing transit ridership. Downtown Miami has a large number of open spaces around institutional buildings but their design often discourages use. There is a need for more modestly scaled and inviting public spaces. 3.1 PUBLIC SPACES In an effort to enhance the transportation experience and create a vibrant and vital station area open spaces need to be carefully analyzed and enhanced. New public spaces should be planned and created in partnership with the local community and businesses in order to ensure properly maintenance. Seek opportunities to create active public spaces such as pedestrian plazas or parklets by reclaiming underutilized street spaces. Example: As part of the New York City Department of Transportation's Plaza Program, this vacant triangular parking lot re -purposed an oversized portion of the right-of-way into a new public space. The location on Pearl Street boasts great views of the Manhattan Bridge and bike facilities that make the amenity not only pleasant but also convenient. According to a 2012 New York City Department of Transportation study, retail sales increased 172% after the parking triangle was converted into a pedestrian plaza. .

(Source: Hackney Council) 561 MIAMI 21 TOD I TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT a , � - F ;..t 3.2 LIMITED VEHICULAR ACCESS STREETS With the increase use of public transportation, some streets may be re - purposed as 'Pedestrian Priority Streets" - limiting vehicular access to local traffic and loading. Streets are the most prominent public space, oftentimes considered solely for mobility purposes. In reality, most of our daily public activity happens in streets: they are spaces where most often chance encounters occur. Streets should be always considered as an open space/public space asset in our cities. Incrementing the walkable realm, the sidewalks, and even limiting vehicular access provides a safer environment and one of the most effective ways to increase open space. 3.3 CAR FREE ZONES As mentioned in the Mobility section 1.3 one-way to manage congestion could be to establish strategic car free zones. This could increase the amount of space dedicated for pedestrians and bicyclists and incentivize Image: Illustrative renderof a car free zone in Downtown. (Source:PlusurbiaDesign) the use of transit. Downtown is approaching a level of density and intensity which would benefit from implementing car free zones to reduce congestion. Starting a program in downtown would increase pedestrian and bicycle safety . 3.4 OTHER PEDESTRIAN ONLY CONNECTIONS In the same visionary manner the Highline transformed an abandoned rail line to a world class public space in the City of New York, the right -of way along the FEC - Port of Miami tracks provides a tremendous opportunity to create an elevated connection from the station to the Bayside waterfront and Bayfront Park via a more direct and safe route. Future development on either side could maintain its service oriented ground level (facing the rail line) and activate the floors above providing additional commercial opportunities. >> Consider a pedestrian -only structure over the FEC spur leading to the port between NE 6th and NE 7th Streets.

'3rI,fCW rum Blta ° 4.1 BALANCE LAND USE AROUND THE STATION The land uses around the train station are mostly civic and institutional, currently lacking the residential density and commercial uses on the ground level to encourage transit use and foster urban street life. The institutional buildings contain large setbacks with vast, unused spaces that are uninviting and often unsafe for pedestrians. >> Develop stronger policies to encourage appropriate land uses and development near transit. All future construction should have residential and non-residential uses combined within the same block. >> Rezone underutilized Civic and Institutional uses into compatible zoning categories to promote redevelopment. >> Encourage integration of Civic and Institutional uses within mixed -use buildings to achieve better and more efficient use of land. Moving these uses within future development will also reactivate a large area around the station providing a 24-hour environment. Additionally, City and County may benefit from these new developments with revenue that can be re -invested as improvements on infrastructure and other elements necessary for the successful revitalization of the transit shed. 4.2 TAX ALLOCATION DISTRICT (TAD) Establish a Tax Allocation District (TAD) in the 1/2 mile transit shed boundary to capture the value of new development for a certain period of time, so the value can be reinvested within the TOD and fund needed infrastructure improvements. >> The redevelopment of underdeveloped, blighted, and vacant properties will generate substantial new annual tax revenues from property taxes, sales taxes, business licenses and other sources. >> The TAD can fund projects to create new urban frameworks to support development, provide accessibility and mobility for pedestrians and vehicles, and improve the aesthetic and visual environment of the area. New appealing mixed -use development will broaden the area's appeal and increase its economic competitiveness. lb.

Lack of activity around within the transit shed discourages walkability as streets lack interest are often deemed unsafe. In cities like Miami that have adopted Smart Growth models, and where land is scarce, urban centers such as Miami's Downtown are where development makes most sense. Vacant and underutilized land pushes demand for development elsewhere, which in turn adds to the mobility issues the City faces today. There are methods that have been used to discourage speculation, increase land value and revitalize those areas of downtown that are currently inactive. Some are achieved through incentives that provide advantageous limited -time development conditions for instance, and others, more aggressive, as part of a taxation model known as "Progressive Taxation of Vacant Land". Examples of this method can be found in the 2018 British Columbia's Speculation and Vacancy Tax Act (Bill 45) (SVTA) as well as Vacancy Registration Ordinances established in Pennsylvania cities and boroughs such as Reading, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Steelton and York. 4.4 BUILDING'S MINIMUM HEIGHT Even though most development in the Downtown maximizes its capacity, it is also a predominant practice in the City to develop suburban single - story typologies in some T6 zoning designations. In most cases, it has been permitted to construct these single stories with a faux 2nd story on top of pharmacy chains and fast food restaurants. Just as is the case with 4.2 Vacant Land, underutilization of land in the City center leads to development pressure elsewhere decentralizing activity and reducing the area's economic vitality and capacity. » Increase the minimum height from 2 stories to 5 stories to match the lower tier zoning category - T5 (mid -rise typologies). 1+f/ Mtn or.aL o: ,z NOTICE Th' b dt etl m ne h tl lee m p bn 'ng e wrtna r ett nn rn crym M -C Theappl d tl k gbotly vall N recn me Ot^ p b4 n gt tl ra ntla4 o afinal eec aon.

(Source: cyberclty3d.s3) 4.5 BUILDING FRONTAGES The immediate area around the station has a significant number of undeveloped lots and institutional buildings with blank facades and large setbacks that disrupt the pedestrian experience. » Promote active frontages that invite pedestrians to participate in interior building activities. Well designed ground -floor spaces and transit supportive uses increase pedestrian safety and comfort. >> Establish a "no vacancy program" to ensure active frontages and reduce blight around the station. >> Similar to the responsibility that public agencies have to provide safe infrastructure to access private property, Frontages are an integral part to the safety and comfort for all users. Buildings need to be designed and retrofitted to provide interest, transparency, and especially light at night to reduce the actual and perceived sense of safety. Consider either a grant program for a storefront upgrade policy update to require buildings to contribute to the overall safety and comfort on the street, See the City of Arlington's 2017 Storefront Vacancy Bylaw success. © 2018 PLUSURBIA LLC RECOMMENDATIONS 159 LE . ■. ; E �� l�" new ° e I I rm, N Will 0 11 4.6 PARKING Design parking garages so they can be adaptively reused in the future. Redevelop parking, especially surface lots into uses that improve the public realm. Incentivize temporary commercial frontages. Where parking remains, recommend active uses for parking garage ground floors, better trees and urban greening to minimize the impact on the pedestrian experience of parking lots and provide shade to counteract the urban heat island effect these cause. Encourage residential use of office and commercial parking structures after hours. 4.7 SHARED LOADING ZONES The Miami21 Zoning Code requires a large area of buildings in the urban core to be devoted to loading for commercial and residential uses. This condition has an adverse effect on the building footprints by taking a large portion of the usable ground floor for vehicle circulation. While all buildings need loading areas and refuse storage for collection, the code requires loading to occur within the building, which in most cases results in a reduced active commercial layer, frontage and large curb cuts that conflict with pedestrian mobility (see 2.5 Curb -Cuts). Create a loading and service plan that covers the current demand and is required to be revised every 3 years. This plan should work in concert with '1.2 Congestion Management" Propose legislation to create a Downtown parking and loading fund whereby existing buildings and proposed development can pay -in lieu of loading areas internal to the project for the right to use public loading areas. This fund, similar to those already in place in Coconut Grove and the Wynwood NRD-1 could be managed by the Miami MPA or the Downtown DDA. Funds attained by this measure could further pay for improvements and or maintenance and operation of these loading and service areas.

In some cases it is easier to accommodate access to the first floor by setting back the building facade. First floors that are far from the sidewalk are problematic for commercial streets where foot traffic and immediate access and visibility is integral to economic viability. 4.9 GROUND FLOORS While adhering to new flood regulations can present obstacles to maintaining active ground floors, there are a number of ways property owners can still provide transparency and activity at the ground level. Where floor plan allows it, access should be solved inside the building envelope to preserve street -wall alignment, ensuring a visual connection to the sidewalk. Hybrid strategies are possible involving elevation of interior space with wet flood proofing of entrances and a shallow area near windows that can serve as display space. Consider changes to zoning maximums reflecting flexible ground floor heights to address flood elevation changes. 4.10 PERMEABILITY As seen in recent flood events, major damage is caused in great part in the rate of absorption at which water permeates through the ground. Downtown Miami's coastal location has proven to be one of the City's most prone to flooding. As new infrastructure is put in place, consideration must be given to the shocks and stresses of flooding events. >> Future street improvements should use permeable materials to accelerate absorption to minimize property damage and time of recovery. >> All improvements and future private and publicly owned surfaces should be built with pervious materials to add to the absorption index of the area. f +Cp NyV ,1 NOTICE - k Thla submittal neetlato be ach.dWed bra p0k nexhng — wkh eme11ne: set ronh h, the City w mi- EWe.

It is roughly bound by NE 20th Street to the south, I-195 to the north, I-95 to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east. The Midtown portion of this study evaluates two scenarios between siting a Midtown Tri-Rail Station on NE 29th Street (closer to Wynwood/ Edgewater/Midtown) or on NE 36th Street (Design District/Midtown). The following scenarios evaluate opportunities and constraints at different scales: the mile TOD shed and the station sites at the block scale. The'h mile analysis primarily focuses on a Complete Districts approach that determines the best possible station location evaluating network connectivity, mobility, public spaces, uses, density, neighborhood scale and redevelopment potential (entitlements). Additionally, a station (site) analysis at a block level focuses on the exploration of the existing conditions and the physical placement of the station's platforms and their accessibility, visibility and feasibility. The station platform dimensions were taken from the typical Tri-Rail 24' width by 450' length platforms on both sides of the tracks as defined by the SFRTA / Tri-Rail Station's Design Guidelines. Two scenarios were studied. The first scenario assesses siting along the ROW of the FEC tracks, north and south of 36th Street, and the second scenario north and south of 29th Street.

Potential Station Area Evaluation Network connectivity Mobility Public Spaces Use ram. Density/ Intensity Parking Spatial constrains 0 EVALU l,Q 41�,� *-,VIEW co�Q� io BUILD -OUT ANALYSIS The Midtown Tri-Rail Station Siting Study by Garcia -Pons + Associates was commissioned by the Wynwood Business Improvement District (BID) on August 2018 to identify and address the future mobility needs of the Wynwood/Midtown/Edgewater district. The intent of the Study was to explore demographic characteristics and development capacities within potential Transit Station Area sheds (areas within a 1/2 mile radius of a transit station) to help identify possible transit station locations along the existing FECI Corridor near Midtown Miami. The two Station Area Locations explored are located at the intersections of NE 36th (near the Design District), and NE 29th Streets, (near Wynwood/Edgewater), along the FECI Corridor. The next step was to establish a Build -Out [Maximum] development capacity based on physical conditions and Miami 21 Zoning codes. The study shows that there is a significantly higher development capacity in the NE 29th Street shed than NE 36th Street shed. And, for the purpose of providing the greatest economic development benefits at the lowest cost to the public sector, a higher development capacity provides a sound statistical basis for siting a Midtown Tri-Rail Station nearer to NE 29th Street (closer to Wynwood/Edgewater/Midtown) than to NE 36th Street (Design District/Midtown). Maximum Build -Out data sets for future potential Population, Households, Commercial and Employment shows that the 29th Street Station Area has a 50% higher future potential development capacity than the 36th Street Station Area. A further breakdown of the Station Area sheds shows that there is a significant overlap between the two Station Areas (generally the area including and surrounding Midtown) and that if this overlap area were to be reduced (i.e. moving the northern station further North or southern station further South), the disparity in development capacity would increase exponentially. Given that the overlap data cancels itself out when comparing the two locations, the overlap area was excluded from each Station's 1/2 mile shed's computation. As a result, the southern portion of the 29th Street Station Area results in a 300% higher future potential development capacity - based on the current entitlements - than its equivalent northern portion of the 36th Street Station Area. The development capacity difference suggests the need to study future mobility solutions and investments further, including a potential new Transit Station to maximize ridership and adequately serve the rapidly growing needs of both communities. The study concludes that for the proposed transit system to be economically viable, any new transit stations should be sited to serve, not only existing populations and workforces, but also future ones. Additionally, future transit hubs must be consistent with the goals of the City and County's Comprehensive Plans and Zoning Codes, stations should be sited in communities with a high level of mixed -use development, limited parking requirements and higher densities to help catalyze investment and support the highest level of infill growth. ,gyp Pue�/C 1P - • . • : A, .o�R�VI Ew co�Q� CURRENT [20181 BASELINE DATA MIDTOWN STATION AREAS Station Area Population Households 3611 St 6,100* 2,000 (avg. household size 3.00) 29th St 6,500* 2,300 (avg. household size 2.87) Station Area Employment Commercial (gsf) 361h St 7,400* 1,958,400 (265 gsf/employee) 29th St 6,700* 1,769,200 (265 gsf/employee) *A 1 % growth projection for both Population and Employment were added to the 2015 Census data to establish current (2018) baseline data.

All dimensions taken are not based on surveys, they were obtained from the City of Miami's Open Source GIS files, the Miami -Dade Property Appraiser website and aerial imagery. The following specifications were used to study the station location: » LENGTH OF PLATFORM — 450-500 feet minimum. » WIDTH OF PLATFORM — 25 feet minimum, with additional width as necessary to meet the "Platform Area". » WIDTH OF ROW — 76 feet minimum. » STATION ACCESS — Stations should be sited at visible locations on collector roads or minor arterials and not on major arterials or residential sites. » ALIGNMENT — Platforms should be located along tangent track. » SLOPE & CURVATURE — Essentially level and flat. » STATION CONNECTIONS — Avoid the "Up and Over" connection. This refers to the typical bridge that connects commuters to both sides of the platforms. These are costly and require additional space that is limited in urban locations.

PZ-20-6058 71►\ 09/19/22 4, » DISTANCE BETWEEN STATIONS — According to the guiTTines, the ideal spacing between stations ranges from 3 to 4 miles, although a 2 to 3 miles minimum is allowable in some urban situations. These distances allow the train to pick up speed and come to a safe stop. Shorter distances result in slower and inefficient commuter rail service, thus possibly discouraging potential riders from choosing this mode of transit. The aerial image below shows the general distances from the Miami Central Station to the 29th and 36th Street proposed stations. The distance from the Miami Central Station to the proposed 29th Street Station is 1.8 miles while the proposed 36th Street Station is 2.4 miles away. Both distances are in the lower margins set by the SFRTA. While the 36th Street Station has additional distance to make the commuter rail more efficient, both urban sitings are within reasonable distances from their nearest station locations. Additionally, since the study assumes the placement of the nearest station at 79th Street (3.2 miles from 29th street and 2.6 miles from 36th street), any additional stations considered between Midtown and 79th St will have a significant impact on train speeds (acceleration and deceleration), travel time and efficiency. yy, _ � IIIIIII�I,I�,II�IIIIII��IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH1111111111111111111111111111111111111111i111f111j1111111111111�°IIIL���IIIIIJI�III 1 �, 'F- f I # eb u X r a 741 MIA 2 TO D I TRANS IAr D DEVELOPMENT G�Sa U! f • �C n K• 19 NOTICE This submittal needs fo be scheaWee for a pobk hexhng — wkh emermg set fonh m the city w Miami CWe.

PZ-20-6058 / \\ 09/19/22 /f This location, beneath the Interstate 195 overpass, has been selected as the first "demonstration station" by Miami -Dade County transit officials, \ the Florida Department of Transportation, and the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority. The decision was based on using the existing 1-195 overpass as shelter to reduce construction costs and to take advantage of the existing busy trolley stop at NE 2nd Avenue as well as nearby City of Miami -owned parking lots to serve commuters (some of these parking lots will have to be turned into the platform, sidewalk and drop off zones). Another consideration is the sufficient length for the platform from NE 36th to NE 39th Street without the requirement of additional street rail crossings. -. - Ig �� 3 Diagram: Illustrative plan forthe station area at NE 36th Street. (Source: Plusurbla Design) msw� If this location becomes permanent, the station design standards will need to be modified to fit the width of the station platform, and the intersection at NE 2nd Ave must be redesigned in order to improve the connectivity between neighborhoods north and south of 1-195. Basic improvements should focus on encouraging transit use, expanding multimodal choices and making access to the station intuitive, safe, efficient, universally accessible and fun. The area's main challenge remains accessibility and mobility around the station. Major improvements will have to be made to the intersection to the south in order to provide safe and inviting access. Additionally, Federal Highway which runs parallel, adjacent to the northbound platform has significant vehicular traffic loads and it is too close to the platform. Finally, given that the distance between 36th and 39th streets is approximately 800', pedestrian access from intersections is longer than desired. Additional pedestrian crossings may be required closer to the platforms or fencing will have to be installed to assure crossing at designated locations. LEGEND: 1.

PZ-20-6058 / \\ 09/19/22 /f As the Physical Station Area Evaluation diagram for shows south of NE 29th Street location (p.80), this area is the one that meets most of the guidelines requirements. FEC right of way width is sufficient and land availability for redevelopment exists without infrastructure impediments. At this location, the space on either side of the tracks varies from 20' to 50' foot and is made up of surface parking areas, vacant parcels and industrial buildings that can be fully integrated to the station design and be redeveloped following TOD guidelines. Future buildings should enhance and create a safe environment for commuters accessing the station. The main limitation on this location is the length available between due to NE 29th and NE 27th Streets, which is slightly less (approximately 10' less) than the minimum required for platform placement. General measurements show that this slightly smaller longitude is mostly due to the angle between the tracks and the E-W streets. Turning NE 27th Street into a pedestrian priority, shared street could be a potential solution to improve pedestrian and bicycle access and slowing vehicular mobility that could use the new thoroughfare to drop off passengers. A potential relocation of vehicular mobility further south (on 24th or 25th streets) could provide additional length needed for the platform while creating a new, more central, gateway to the district. NE 27th Street crossing could be retrofitted as a pedestrian only crossing creating safer access and an active, more comfortable environment for commuters. An alternative to overcome the limitation of fitting the length of the station could be to either angle the platform ends or slightly reduce the required 450 ft minimum length of the platform to fit on the length available.

PZ-20-6058 / \\ 09/19/22 /f The City of Miami's northern corridor, also known as the Biscayne Corridor has seen tremendous population and job growth in recent years. Developments in Midtown, Design District and Wynwood, together with continuous sporadic construction in the large Edgewater District are the best examples for the City's future multi -centric cores. Both completed construction and planned development, including the development capacity in some of these centers, have and will further increase traffic congestion and demand other transportation options. Mobility along the corridor, which agencies such as the TPO and the SFRTA in collaboration with other municipalities, are looking to solve is paramount to the health and economic viability of the �y City. The Florida East Coast (FEC) Right of Way (ROW) provides a potentially, readily available solution for inner-city and commuter rail currently in use by Brightline, that may help solve grid -lock in these centers in concert with 0 other options, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and other feeder modes such as buses (ideally on dedicated lanes for predictability and efficiency), Trolleys, Jitneys, car -share hubs among others. wo Connectivity between the FEC line and these feeder modes (shorter distance mobility solutions) as well as a safe pedestrian and bike network require stations to be located close to collector streets such as 29th and 36th Streets. Significant improvements for accessibility will be necessary for the successful siting of stations since the increased automobile, bike and pedestrian traffic will change the way people move around the stations creating new points of conflict. None of the sites considered are currently suitable for this increased mobility demand. This study focuses on the physical conditions of two scenarios with two station locations each: to the north on 36th Street and to the South on 29th Street. In order to generate a holistic assessment, it is important to note that while the three districts have become destinations, each in their own right, their development capacity has not been reached and the potential to create the right TOD environment is possible in all locations as long as future development and improvements are station and people centric. Similarly, it is necessary to consider that since service depends greatly on demand, station locations must consider ridership to sustain their service. As evidenced in successful TODs around the country, ideal locations serve both residential and commercial uses creating a demand beyond peak hours of service. TODs that provide a good mix of uses, becoming both origin and destination throughout the day, function best, and service larger populations and employment centers. This demand, either existing or induced, is clear throughout the corridor. It is specially evident in the Midtown / Design District / Wynwood segment making this a perfect location from a current potential ridership stand point, which, today, is even on both locations. Considering future potential ridership as shown in the "Midtown Tri-Rail Station Siting Study" conducted by Garcia-Pons+Associates, projections show that growth capacity is much greater around the 29th Street intersection. And therefore, from a "maximum build -out" (capacity) standpoint, this location would serve, in the future, a larger commercial area, employment and 165% more population within its Transportation Shed (1/2 mile radius) compared to the Design District location. MIDTOWN STATION S The physical characteristics of all the locations considered is far from ideal. No location provides either enough length or width to allocate the station as recommended by the SFRTA / Tri-Rail Station's Design Guidelines. Deviations from these guidelines and improvements, especially for pedestrian and bike networks are necessary to promote ridership and provide safe and comfortable access to the station. THE MIDTOWN/DESIGN DISTRICT STATION North of 36th Street: The location has significant physical limitations due to the limited space available along the FEC ROW and the location of the structural supports of 1-195 that cannot accommodate the 25 foot wide typical platforms. Additionally, access to the station is removed from the intersection reducing its visibility as well as its limited access to the southbound platform due to adjacent properties making it even less conspicuous. The five point intersection (NE 36thStreet, NE 2nd Ave and Federal Hwy) to the south creates challenging accessibility issues for this station. It is currently difficult vehicular intersection to navigate, further compounded by its proximity to Biscayne Boulevard (approximately 400 feet away), which creates a bottleneck during most of the day. This situation may worsen by the vehicular, pedestrian and bike traffic generated by the station, unless multi -modal mobility through and around the intersection is resolved. In order to make this station location successful additional width should be allocated for a wider southbound platform, visibility, comfort and safe access from all the streets must be created and the 1-195 structure must be improved to make the station not only inviting but also safe for riders. South of 36th Street: The location is not recommended given the FEC ROW available. Adjacency to the already under -performing section of NE 2nd Avenue that feeds onto the intersection, as well as East Coast Avenue that serves new dense and intense development renders this option not viable. THE MIDTOWN/WYNWOOD STATION North of NE 29th Street: The location is impracticable due to new large scale development being built to the west, adjacent to the FEC ROW. This new development, whose frontage onto the FEC is an inactive parking garage, does not allow for enough width to allocate a platform or create a suitable frontage condition. Furthermore, set to break ground, multistory development to the east is designed to back onto the FEC line. Its perimeter access along the FEC is planned for wide turning loading, service and fire access. Access to the station would, as the development is designed, be restrictive and not conducive to a pleasant, safe and inviting experience. South the NE 29th Street: As the diagram for the FEC Track ROW analysis shows, this location is where the most available space and width exists CON NOTICE This aubmRtaln d, b be schebaletl fora pebk hearing In ar<o d—whh timelinex set forth In the City of Mia Cotle.

PZ-20-6058 09/19/22 along the tracks; the space on either side of the tracks varies from 20 to 50 feet and is made up of surface parking areas, vacant parcels or industrial buildings that may be integrated to the station design and be developed following TOD guidelines. The analysis shows that the main negative to this location is the inactive garage frontage along the 20 foot potential northbound platform, from the corner at 29th street to NE 28th Street, a length approximately 200 feet. Additionally, the approximate longitudinal distance between 29th Street and 27th Street does not conform with the minimum required length of platforms by a slight margin. Unlike other locations studied, the existing well-connected street grid makes access convenient - with the potential of improvement to provide multi -modal access to the site. Nonetheless, if this location is selected, given the limited number of rail crossings into the District (3 in total: 29th, 27th and 20th Streets), 2 of which located to the north (adjacent to the station), it is recommended that 27th street be turned into a pedestrian priority street on either side of the station. These "shared/slow streets" or Woonerfs are already being implemented in the district and provide for a safe, active, comfortable and visible environments for commuters to access the station. In turn, in the interest of maintaining the vehicular level of service to the District, 24th or 25th streets could be reconnected to provide a new entrance to Wynwood with a more direct access to its geographical core - arguably the intersection of NW 2nd Avenue and 25th Street. Finally, any future development around the station should be designed with paseos and pedestrian ways to access the platforms from N. Miami Ave; thus providing a safer and protected passage for commuters to the station. FINAL OBSERVATIONS For any station location to succeed, comfortable multi -modal access must be resolved and improved significantly. All platforms need to be generous, accessible, safe and visible. All interventions and future development must not only transit -oriented and transit -centric, but ultimately make sure that they are all designed in relation to and consideration for the station in how they improve mobility and how they will encourage ridership. A Master Plan needs to be created to provide specific guidelines for coordinated development and improvements. In addition, value capture mechanisms around stations for existing and future development that benefit from the location of the station may prove necessary for the continued success of these alternative transportation options. WOD environments must ensure that future development and improvements are station and people -centric.)) © 2018 PLUSURBIA LLC MIDTOWN STATION SCENARIOS CONCLUSION 193 F El NOTICE This submittal needsto be achedul db, a p0k hexhng — wkh emermg set font m the city w Ml— Code.

The neighborhood namesake after the Little River that runs along its northern edge, is bordered to the north by the Village of El Portal, to the south by Little Haiti (Lemon City), to the east by the Palm Grove Historic District and to the west by West Little River. Little River was established in the late 1800s as an agricultural community. A natural evolution led to its development into one of Miami's most vibrant commercial, entertainment, and residential areas. Anchored by landmarks such as St. Mary's Cathedral, the Rosetta Theater and the Florida East Coast Railroad, Little River evinces a unique sense of place underscored by its rich history. It is home to a culturally diverse group of residents and a large immigrant population. The ethnic composition is predominantly from the Caribbean and Haiti. From a market standpoint, Little River is a low-income, high - poverty area, with large renter -occupied households. Housing units and homes are valued below County average home/rent values, making Little River a neighborhood with a high affordable housing index and local minority -owned businesses. Today, this NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER, along with those that surround it (Lemon City, Little Haiti, West Little River, Village of El Portal and Palm Grove) is evolving one more time. This time, change is being led by creative entrepreneurs and a range of new local businesses. This influx of new investment has sparked the interest of younger generations, bringing activity and new life to the area. The new neighborhood center station will provide heightened interest for relocation in proximity to new mobility options. As it has already happened with other TODs, it will spur re -development that could once again establish Little River as a metropolitan node for the region. It is critical to establish the Little River Station shed development patterns that support future ridership, create safe and comfortable access to, from and around the station and establish zoning regulations that improve and encourage a walkable environment considering new mobility modes, and other elements consistent with a transit served neighborhood.

Participants were from many different backgrounds -- renters, home/business owners, activists, newcomers and longtime residents. The workshop was held on a weekend in order to welcome as many local community members as possible. Many who attended the workshop were familiar with pedestrian, transit, housing, small business, parking, civic space and other relevant issues. The team focused on facilitating input from diverse community members and stakeholders, so ideas could be created organically. The first exercise was the S.L.O.W. exercise. This exercise was a board - like input gathering exercise in which each participant wrote down one Strength, Limitation, and Weakness of the area. Everyone took turns around the table moving one 'opinion' from each section forward. What soon became clear were the shared concerns among participants, as different opinions from each category slowly moved to the 'priority center'. The second exercise involved discussion around aerial base -maps that were distributed between three tables. Each group gathered with a visioning team facilitator to discuss their needs, wants, and overall vision. Each table came together to share their thoughts, jotting down issues as well as big ideas for the 1/2 mile radius area around the future station. Representatives from each table presented their thoughts, concerns and big ideas. When all three marked -up base maps were completed, the maps were displayed at the workshop's website. Attendees of the workshop marked their preferences for: opportunities, areas of improvement and things to be protected. The design team tabulated the votes and used the results as referential guidelines in the study. «Community participation is necessary to understand those elements in a plan that will create positive change.)) 1�J L11Y'f]F� NOTICE rn1.e, m t Ih.&. dm,. p.bk he ,g m .�o�a.�� whn um.r�11ld fl& m tn.

The proposed station presents an opportunity to make these major corridors safer and more inviting for all modes, but more importantly for potential riders: pedestrians and bicyclists. To prepare the neighborhood for the impact that the new station will have on this diverse area between NW 79th and 82nd Street, it was important to create a plan and establish a series of recommendations that are integral to preserve and guide the transformation of the area into a Transit Oriented Neighborhood through a holistic approach. 11�J `1SY OF,� NOTICE Th' b�tl dm� ntl�dm pbn haro,g awtl t r e f.ft h th trim M -m Th, ppl d tl k gbWywil th fortnag ith p bech gt de'. mm tlaU Zed PZ-20-6058 71►\ 09/19/22 f� �y a NE 82n° f t In meetings with stakeholders and during the community workshop, the team noted the unique local character, scale, and affordability of the neighborhood. Concerns for sea -level rise, public safety, and the need to create new greenMal spaces for the neighborhood were stressed. The Little River Conceptual Transit Area Plan is meant illustrate the future potential of the neighborhood around the 1/4 mile radius of the station and responds to those concerns and opportunities voiced during the workshop and stakeholder meetings. The plan shows potential new open green spaces that take advantage of the riverfront and presents infill opportunities on vacant lots, mainly west of the tracks, where the existing scale and density is lower than east of the station. The plan also proposes mixed -use developments on large underutilized parcels that could increase the population density needed to support public commuter transit. The plan also shows new connections to shorten walking distances and facilitates pedestrian access to the station. 9, The accompanying recommendations to the plan are descriptive and intended to depict the strategies needed for the evolution of the area surrounding the a station. The recommendations focus around the concept of mobility, safety and comfort, public space, land use, and character and scale, to satisfy current r} needs and establish long term tools for the positive transformation of the neighborhood. The area is highly vulnerable to flooding but new development can implement resilient design strategies that mitigate the impact of sea level rise or extreme weather. Some of the physical challenges when creating the Station Area Plan where: » The FEC track is elevated by approximately 5 to 6 feet from NE 4th Ave-, which would have to be resolved by providing access ramps to the platform. » The distance, West of the tracks, from the rail to the street edge is approximately 30'. The distance meets the required width for the station platform but additional space for the drop-off and sidewalk would require a reduction of the platform width or a street realignment of NE 4th Ave. k 162 .� .. t7ji O E U rD f L) Cn '� _ I tJ } C LEGEND: 1.

These recommendations also address the reconfigurations of streets to balance the competing needs for space of all modes of transportation in a safe, comfortable and accessible manner. 1.1 CONNECTIONS TO/FROM THE STATION AREA » Improve connection to neighborhoods within a half mile from the station. Focus specially on improvements within a quarter mile to create clear and intuitive pedestrian and bicycle connections to and from the station, to help reinforce the idea that the area is a walkable Neighborhood center. >> Improve connections to and from North Miami Ave and Biscayne Boulevard. Strengthen bicycle and pedestrian connections by focusing on improvements such as wider sidewalks, safe crosswalks, protected bike lanes and pedestrian amenities. >> Consider NE 2nd Ave, NE 79th St, and NE 82nd St as gateways to the Station Area. Public realm and private development along the corridors should support their function as multi -modal last -mile connections between the Station Area and Miami's primary north - south transportation link. >> It is critical that the connections be intuitive, safe and comfortable, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. Addressing physical barriers such as the river and the rail line should be carefully analyzed and improved. >> Minimize physical barriers for accessing the station. 1.2 RE -BALANCE EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAYS >> Re -balance the Right -of -Ways by retrofitting parking or travel lanes to other uses giving priority to pedestrians and bicyclists. Alternatively, travel or parking lanes that are too wide can simply be narrowed, slowing traffic down and creating more space for other uses. These can include wider sidewalks with space for trees, seating and other amenities, high quality protected bike lanes, or transit priority or dedicated lanes that improve the quality and reliability of bus operations. Reducing the space dedicated to vehicles also makes crossing the street safer and easier. 120 1 MIAMI 21 TOD I TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT LEGEND: �► Trolley [Little Haiti] Bus Routes 0 Gateways / Major Intersections 41��nF 1L N ,vc NOTICE Thls submittal needs to be sch.dWed b, a pOk hexhng — wkh emermg set font m the city w mi— Code.

Consider "traffic calming" measures on these streets and intersections in order to reduce vehicle speed and increase bicycle and pedestrian safety. Traffic calming measures may include narrowing/reducing lanes, designing bulb -outs, and on -street parking. 1.4. SAFE CROSSWALKS » Maximize driver visibility and ensure pedestrian safety while crossing the streets and rail lines. Pedestrians should have priority over all motorized and non -motorized vehicles around the station area. Focus on safe pedestrian and bicycle crossings NE 2nd Ave, NE 79th St, NE 82nd St and Biscayne Blvd. Pedestrians crosswalks with sufficient countdown time and audible cues should be installed. >> Install and improve higher visibility crosswalks, such as zebra style or material changes, at all intersections. Maximize driver visibility and ensure pedestrian and bicycle safety while crossing streets. 1.5 SIDEWALKS » Offer pedestrians enough spaces to walk, stand, socialize to increase pedestrian safety and comfort. Together with proper lighting, street trees and vibrant street walls, they contribute to proper placemaking and help activate a walkable environment that will link people to the station. Increasing sidewalk withs on main arteries should be a priority to improve access to the station. >> Limit curb -cuts to new buildings, consolidating ingress and egress to a single location. >> Remove poorly installed signage to increase usable sidewalk space and add curb cuts at locations where they are missing. >> Increase urban tree canopy by planting native shade trees in existing empty tree wells, and implement and activate public spaces. >> Require sidewalk tapering closer to the curb edge. New standards need to be adopted in orderto reduceturning speeds into sidewalks. Tighter curb tapering and edges slow traffic down and provides safer and more comfortable walkable conditions.

Image: Stratford Station in London showing a seamless transportation interchange. (Source:transportnexus.com) 1 J FEEDER TRANSIT SERVICES » Service integration should be encouraged to maximize available transit service, especially along shared corridors into the transit station. The station should serve as a hub to the existing trolley and bus lines traversing the neighborhood and should be reconfigured to capitalize on the new high-speed service. This will reduce the demand for commuter parking supply. (See 1.8) >> Establish minimum service standards to ensure transit service is available during rapid transit service hours. 1.8 PARKING >> Assess commuter parking needs for the station and strategically locate parking where land is available.

The goal of this section is to provide recommendations tomake activetransportation users comfortable and safe while traveling. Adequate planning and maintenance of local infrastructure will help contribute to the Li� �► health, comfort, environmental resilience, economic productivity, and social connectedness of Little River. 2.1 TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES a ' Poor street design allows motorists to drive at dangerous speeds that are incompatible with a safe walkable neighborhood. Where vehicle speeds exceed 20 mph, the risk of serious injury or death to a person {* struck by a car increases dramatically. Future additional pedestrian and bicycle users in the area as a result of the station requires changes to improve safety within the transit shed. Build or retrofit the network of streets to create a balance between the movement of pedestrians, cyclists, transit and vehicles. Adopt Complete Street design standards that ensure safe movement of, all users giving priority to pedestrians and cyclists. Identify and evaluate allocation of ROW space to carry "persons' instead of "vehicles". Introduce protected bicycle infrastructure and traffic calming measures such raised crosswalks, narrower travel lanes, tightening turning radii and curb extensions to improve walking and cycling safety and comfort. Planting shade trees along streets can also have a traffic calming effect by creating the perception that the street is narrower. 2.2 LIGHTING >> Increase safety and aid in night navigation for active transportation users by incorporating pedestrian -scale lighting at regular intervals in areas of high pedestrian activity and at crosswalks, bus stops and corners. 2.3 EYES ON THE STREETS >> To contribute to an atmosphere of safety encourage "eyes on the street" to provide informal surveillance of the urban environment. 124 1 MIAMI 21 TOD I TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Image: Illustrative Plan for Increasing open space and reducingthe Heat Island Effect Inthe Little PiverArea. (Source: Plusurbla Design) —1, Ample room for walking, frequent doors and windows with people inside at all hours of the day as well as lit frontages at night are important key elements to improve safety. Provide diverse mix of uses including housing, employment, regional attractions and public spaces to create a high quality urban environment close to the transit station. 2.4 TREE CANOPY High temperatures during much of the year in Miami can make walking and cycling an uncomfortable experience. Unshaded pavement and concrete retains and radiates heat, making it even hotter. NE 79th and NE 82nd streets lack shade trees within a 1/2 mile of the station and beyond making this area uncomfortable for walking and cycling especially in the summer months. Plant shade trees on right-of-ways giving priority to the main pedestrian access routes. It's important that both sides of the streets have trees to maximize the tree canopies and make sidewalks more comfortable for pedestrians. Trees not only add shade to sidewalks but they add a myriad of additional benefits such as serving as a protective buffer between pedestrians (2.1) and vehicular traffic, increasing the aesthetic quality of the street, and improving storm water management. Plant shade trees in public spaces and encourage developers to do the same on private land. 2.5 SHADE AND SHELTER Building arcades and awnings are effective ways of creating shade and shelter from the rain for people walking on sidewalks and should be encouraged in new development. Green roofs and green walls can help reduce the urban heat island effect while incorporating greenery into built -out urban areas. The City and County could explore introducing green spaces on underutilized land at public buildings. They could also create incentives for private developments to do the same. Improve bus and transit waiting areas with shade structures and seating to bring comfort to transit users. See Land -Use recommendations for related action steps Image: Public street tree canopy.

In a station area, streets and sidewalks are interconnected by different transportation modes such as walking, cycling and transit. To ensure safety of pedestrians and cyclists a balance between these modes is necessary. In addition to high -quality streetscapes, a the transit station area should plan for parks, courtyards, forecourts and open spaces. A diversity of these public places encourages social interaction and community participation. These spaces should be highly visible, convenient and accessible along pedestrian corridors in the station area. 3.1 OPEN SPACES » Encourage a plazas and open space at the station entrance. A well designed functional and attractive entry plaza can complement the proposed land uses and create a sense of place and serve as a focal point to the station area. It is important to focus on a public realm that is sensitive to the surrounding built context and community vision. >> Create a Bonus Program to promote publicly accessible open spaces on private land. Developers could provide open spaces on -site or pay into a Public Benefits Trust Fund in exchange for additional stories or increased lot coverage. >> Protect and embrace the river's edge and establish a park network to create a high quality urban environment close to the transit station. 3.2 TYPOLOGIES » Consider a variety of spaces within the transit shed that compliment and are respectful of their context. Given the varied nature of this neighborhood transit center, different open space typologies should be use to improve the area not only for commuters, but also to benefit the existing communities.

New development could make the neighborhood vulnerable to character changes and displacement. In order to mitigate this effect policies and incentives should be considered to promote "inclusive growth" such as: Contextual Infill and Gentle Density techniques wherever possible. ±�O NSVP NOTICE This submittal neetlsm be achetlui�e mr ii ph.

The proportions of doors and windows, the height of each story, and the details of the buildings all impact whether a building is at a scale that feels right to a person or not. Thefollowing set of recommendations outlines howfuture development can reflect the diversity of scale and form, adding visual interest and complexity to the urban environment, and creating new opportunities to strengthen the station area's character as well as the neighborhoods around it. 4.6 BUILDING FORM Context sensitive development solutions should be explored to make surethe existing scale and character is respected and preserved in order to increase the presence of pedestrians on the streets and support commercial activity and transit ridership. >> Provide transitions between the station area and the surrounding neighborhoods by stepping down, reducing lot coverage and increasing open space. New development should not overwhelm the scale of existing buildings and neighborhoods and should blend in with its surroundings. >> Avoid monolithic building maser. Careful volume design can be integrated better to historic communities that were built over time and that have a granular fabric. >> Encourage Roof Terraces and Green Roofs. Roof terraces offer opportunities for riverfront and views that strengthen the visual connection from the Station Area and the river and the Intra- coastal. Encourage roof terraces that are accessible to the public and that interact with the street. 4.7 BUILDING'S MINIMUM HEIGHT Even though most development maximizes its capacity, it is also a predominant practice in the City to develop suburban single -story typologies in higher capacity zoning designations. Furthermore, underutilization of land around stations leads to development pressure elsewhere decentralizing activity and reducing the area's economic vitality and capacity, as well as a potential reduction in ridership. Image: Diagram oPhow a Main Street typology would work. (Source: Plusurbla Design) » Increase the minimum height from 2 stories to 5 stories to match the lower tier zoning category - T5 (mid -rise typologies). 4.8 VACANT LAND Vacant and/or underutilized land is one of the station area's major problems. Lack of activity around within the transit shed discourages walkability as streets lack interest are often deemed unsafe. In cities like Miami that have adopted Smart Growth models, and where land is scarce, vacant and underutilized land pushes demand for development elsewhere, which in turn adds to the mobility issues the City faces today. >> Consider increased limited -time development rights to de-incentivize vacant land and improve the areas around the station. 130 1 MIAMI 21 TOD I TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT 4.9 TAX ALLOCATION DISTRICT (TAD) Establish a Tax Allocation District (TAD) in the 1/2 mile transit shed boundary to capture the value of new development for a certain period of time, so the value can be reinvested within the TOD and fund needed infrastructure improvements. >> The redevelopment of underdeveloped, blighted, and vacant properties will generate substantial new annual tax revenues from property taxes, sales taxes, business licenses and other sources. >> The TAD can fund projects to create new urban frameworks to support development, provide accessibility and mobility for pedestrians and vehicles, and improve the aesthetic and visual environment of the area. New appealing mixed -use development will broaden the area's appeal and increase its economic competitiveness. 4.10 BUILDING FRONTAGES Frontages reinforce the public realm and enhance the pedestrian experience as well as encouraging walkable station areas that promotes the use of transit. >> Strengthen a balance of articulations on facades- especially on the ground floor. Incorporate outdoor seating, display merchandise or planters in front of the facade without blocking the pedestrian clearway, to fosters a connection between shopper and merchandise on the ground floor. >> Encourage awnings and arcades that provide protection from the sun and rain and create a comfortable space for pedestrians. Awnings should be required where there is a commercial frontage (if no arcades are present). Awnings should be limited to areas above doors and windows. One continuous awning that extends across the entire facade should be avoided. » Encourage balconies to add value to the urban environment by improving safetywith constant eyes on the street. Balconies play an important role in social life in an urban setting because they provide a connection between the private and public realm improve safety >> Create a TOD Architectural Guidelines, focusing on signage, awnings, arcade character, materials, etc.. These will help reinforce all other recommendations in this document to promote a safe and comfortable environment for pedestrian activity and enhance the identity and character of the neighborhood and station area.

Future development needs to consider resilient solutions that protect them from reoccurring flood events in the area. 4.13 GROUND FLOORS While adhering to new flood regulations can present obstacles to maintaining active ground floors, there are a number of ways property owners can still provide transparency and activity at the ground level. >> Where floor plan allows it, access should be solved inside the building envelope to preserve street -wall alignment, ensuring a visual connection to the sidewalk. Hybrid strategies are possible involving elevation of interior space with wet flood proofing of entrances and a shallow area near windows that can serve as display space. >> Consider changes to zoning maximums reflecting flexible ground floor heights to address flood elevation changes. 4.14 PERMEABILITY As seen in recent flood events, major damage is caused in great part in the rate of absorption at which water permeates through the ground. Little River's waterfront condition requires new resilient infrastructure to be considered when making any improvements in the private and public realms that reduces the impacts of shocks and stresses. >> Future street improvements should use permeable materials to accelerate absorption to minimize property damage and time of recovery. >> All improvements and future private and publicly owned surfaces should be built with pervious materials to add to the absorption index of the area.

PZ-20-6058 09/19/22 I LESSONS LEARNED In the introduction of this report, we acknowledge that there is a significant national shift from private automobile dependency to mass transit. It is shown how through the use of Guidelines such as Complete Districts, we may achieve a more democratic way to move in the city by implementing principles that balance infrastructure with transportation modes and Land Uses. Skeptics have said that the American Dream resides in car dependent suburban developments that get built because that is how people want to live. This was once true, but this view is beginning to shift because communities across the nation, have proven that there are many variations on the American Dream. Younger demographics have demonstrated that transit -oriented development supports the timeless essence of the American Dream: the dream of owning a home; of living in an attractive, thriving neighborhood; of setting down roots and feeling part of a community; of enjoying the walk to a neighborhood coffee shop or a short train ride to see a movie. This is what makes a Complete District so effective; it views CITIES AS HOLISTIC NETWORKS THAT LINK PEOPLE, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAND, THE BALANCE OF WHICH IS PARAMOUNT TO MAKE PLACES GREAT. This balance is symbiotic in that all elements are part of a system and they depend on each other to function. It is only when a district's components are well -tuned and calibrated that they make great places for us to live. In less than a decade, Downtown Miami has seen a resurgence and a desirability among younger generations to come live, work, and entertain. Some claim that the "Manhattanization" of Downtown Miami is well underway and while we continue to encourage housing affordability as a key element to the ultimate success of Downtown, we are encouraged by the fact that our downtown is becoming a more walkable and attractive place for people to work and live. This process has since been augmented from the day when Miami Central Station opened and instantly connected people from other major cities in our metro area directly to Downtown. Therefore, our focus was on providing actionable steps to enhance the commuter experience to and from the station. In the Midtown area, four fast growing Districts (The Design District, Midtown, Wynwood and Edgewater) will benefit from having the station-, thus our analysis viewed the physical challenges and opportunities 1�J L11Y'f]F� NOTICE rn1.e, m t Ih.&. dm,. p.bk h.,,,g h .�o�a.�� whn um,[11ld fl& I th, Citym Mi"ITheapphwd' decision -ma i,g bwywill rewewiheinbrmation at the p.bdc hearing t. render. recommendation or a final decm.n. PZ-20-6058 / \\ 09/19/22 /f of each likely station location based on station design criteria and considered data from other studies to establish where the most feasible site with the greatest potential for ridership can be found today and as future development occurs. The Little River Station Transit Shed has the potential to become a true transit oriented commuter district given that a great percentage of the surrounding land use is prime for redevelopment. Future transit oriented development in this location needs to consider the context sensitive realities of Little River-, surrounded by low scale residential uses, a historic main street and an environmentally sensitive waterway. As the Station will undoubtedly bring positive changes to this location, there is an urgent need to protect the surrounding existing scale, character, and cultural identity of the neighborhoods. At the same time, the opportunity to redevelop the existing suburban shopping center site - largely buffered by the river and major roadways - into a dense TOD that supports transit, that is well connected to the station and that provides riverfront open space opportunities for the community at large makes this station location ideal. The arrival of commuter rail will certainly bring many positive changes and present many challenges to all station areas studied in this report. These recommendations are intended to serve as actionable steps, guiding principles and aspirational solutions during the evolutionary process that each of these communities will undergo, transforming into thriving transportation hubs. In the end, the prospects for these communities to become twenty-first century versions of the American Dream are bright. One shaped by transit that provides mobility options - reducing the already cost -burdened Miami family. One that provides a diverse with mix of uses, serving the growing appetite for more affordable, walkable and healthier neighborhoods in our cities. 136 1 MIAMI 21 TOD I TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT ,�o Que�r�ti k\03 oo w � wimp, FA 14 Image: Tri-RaIPs Pompano station going green.
