The purpose of amending the boundary for the Park Project is to minimize the potential loss of jobs in the area. This Resolution further directs the City Manager not to acquire property that has been homestead exempted as of January 1, 2001 for the purposes of acquiring land for the Park Project. BACKGROUND: On September 25, 2001 the City of Miami Commission adopted Resolution 01-1029 directing the City Manager to take all steps necessary to initiate and implement the development of a first class park in the Little Haiti area (the Park Project). The boundaries for the Park Project as established by the City Commission are to be from Northeast 590' Street to Northeast 67th Street between Northeast 2nd Avenue and the FEC Railroad Tracks. On April 11, 2002 the City of Miami Commission adopted Resolution 02-395 directing the City Manager to expedite the land acquisition for the Park Project approved in the $255 Million Homeland Defense/Neighborhood Improvement Bond Issue. On May 8, 2003 the City of Miami Commission directed the City Manager not to acquire property that has been homestead exempted as of January 1, 2001 for the purposes of acquiring land for the Park Project and further instructed the City Manager to restudy and narrow the boundaries of the Park Project in order to minimize the potential loss of jobs in the area. Based on the Post Buckley Schuh & Jernigan, Inc. Report, the City Administration studied the boundaries as proposed by the City Commission and determined that approximately 24 businesses employing approximately 378 employees would be preserved. The City Administration recommends that the Park Project boundaries be amended by making Northeast 64th Terrace the northern boundary between Northeast 2nd Avenue and Northeast 4th Avenue and excluding the area East of Northeast 4th Avenue to the FEC Railroad Tracks between Northeast 62 Street and Northeast 67 Street from consideration.
