BACKGROUND Dating back to the 1989 Downtown Miami Master Plan, the City of Miami set a goal to "achieve a livable city center with a variety of urban housing for persons of all income levels." After many years of little residential construction, the Related Group of Florida, Inc. is now building "One Miami," a 900 -unit, mixed -used residential project located in downtown Miami at the mouth of the Miami River. It is the first development project in more than 30 years to fulfill the City's goal to create market -rate, middle income residential housing in this area. Included in this project, as an essential component, is a signature greenway or river walk, a public promenade that is approximately 23 feet wide running approximately 1,000 linear feet along the River. This feature is intended to serve as public access to the waterfront, as an amenity for the general public of Miami, and as a gateway to the City. Given its prominence in the local geography, the Related Group has elevated the design and quality of the river walk and greenway so that it will showcase Miami as a world class city by incorporating works of art, high tech specialty lighting, and unique water features. The river walk will be constructed on property that is already the subject of an existing public easement, in perpetuity, pursuant to an agreement dated January 21 st, 1983. On December 12, 2002; the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 02-1303 authorizing the allocation of $4,160,000 in City funds for Related to construct the public river walk on the easement, and directing the City Manager to prepare an agreement for this purpose. The attached agreement lays forth the duties and responsibilities of the City and the developer, represented by City National Bank of Florida as Trustee under Land Trust No. 2401-1149-00 for the One Miami project. Among other things, the agreement provides for One Miami and its successors to maintain public access, and the improvements in a first class condition, in perpetuity. 03- 465 Funds for this purpose are available from Capital Improvement Project No. 341210, Downtown Infrastructure Improvements, under the Homeland Defense — Neighborhood Improvement Bond Program. The City's Bond Oversight Board reviewed and approved of the proposed use of such funds at its meeting of December 11, 2002. The agreement was subsequently reviewed by the City's bond counsel, the firm of Squire, Sanders and Dempsey, L.L.P., that has opined that the agreement is consistent with the intent of the bond program as approved by the voters. FISCAL IMPACT The grant of $4,160,000 will lessen by that amount the funds available for capital improvements in downtown. However, the One Miami project is to bring in more than $1.8 million in annual tax revenue to the City for the residential portion alone, and this property tax revenue increase may be allocated to replenish the bond funds, if the City chooses. 03- 405 Budgetary Impact Analysis Department Capital Improvements Division Commission Meeting Date: April 24, 2003 Title and brief description of legislation or attached ordinance/resolution: Authorize Execution of Agreement for One Miami River Walk - a grant of $4.160.000 from Downtown Infrastructure Improvement funds to construct a public promenade on an easement at the mouth of the Miami River 1.
