PETITION Consideration of approving a Modification to a "Declaration of Restrictive Covenant" dated April 17, 1970 in order to amend paragraph three in order to modify the prior approved site plan. PLANNING RECOMMENDATION BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS Approval with conditions. The requested modification to a covenant is in order to modify a prior approved site plan for the United Way properties located on Coral Way and at the intersection of SW 12 th Avenue and SW 32"d Road (See attached site plan). The proposed modification is to replace the site plan attached to the original covenant (which depicted these areas as surface parking lots) with a new site plan that depicts a new "Center for Excellence" along Coral Way and a parking structure to serve the complex behind the existing United Way building. The Planning and zoning department Is recommending approval with conditions based on findings that the proposed structures will provide a unified plan for the United Way complex and that parking will be consolidated Into a single and more efficient structure (versus spilling out Into the adjacent neighborhood which is occurring today). Concerns over the screening and elevation design of the parking structure, due to the proposed height and proximity to an adjacent residential area, will be addressed separately through a Class II Special Permit for said structure.

Long before the United Way became a neighbor of this predominantly, single-family residential district, the existing structure was used as an office building and the parking lot in the rear was sufficient to meet its off the street parking demands. The parking lot extending into the residential areas was fenced all around and nicely landscaped. The existing property is a good example of how the Coral Way commercially -zoned property can blend with its surrounding single-family residential district without forever changing the long-standing neighborhood life style enjoyed by the property owners who have invested in the Roads/Shenandoah area, many of them, for this specific reason. Two nearby schools serve the neighborhood generating morning and afternoon traffic to and from St. Peter & Paul and Coral Way Elementary. These two schools have traditionally accommodated the children of these area residents. Many children walk by the proposed site every morning to reach Coral Way Elementary. The traffic density that a multi-level parking structure on this site would bring to this neighborhood would deprive homeowners of the safety and tranquility they have, for many years, enjoyed. The proposed structure's volume, height and aesthetics departs from the historically established residential fabric of this neighborhood and is inconsistent with the intent of the City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department for single-family residential districts. We are extremely sympathetic with the efforts of the United Way in helping the community but we are also a part of this community and our decision to live in a single-family residential neighborhood was established long before the United Way made plans to accommodate their recent needs. This must be respected. Growth is inevitable, but the proposed solution by the United Way to meet its demands, while helping some, irrevocably destroys the investment and way of life of many.

Unfortunately, high-quality early education and care remain elusive to many families, regardless of income. The poor to mediocre quality of much childcare and the educational achievement gap have brought increasing national attention to the importance of high quality early care and education and its correlation to later school success. Despite the research, however, a ' quality pre -K education is still seen as a consumer good instead of an investment in our state's future. I believe that a quality education of young children is the single most important thing our state can do to improve educational achievement, accordingly I have developed a constitutional amendment initiative that would launch a statewide pre -kindergarten program to provide every 4 -year-old in Florida with a quality learning opportunity. A crucial element to elevating the .learning status of our children is to raise the status of childcare. We must make sure that not only are there early care and education centers of the highest quality to emulate, but that there are opportunities for training and the dissemination of best practices. The United Way Center of Excellence will become a landmark for our city in the area of early care and education for young children. This state-of-the-art facility will not only be a nationally -accredited center for children within our community, employing the best ound the world, but it will also serve as a teaching and learning disciplines from ar teaching and learning center for early education professionals and researchers, a training center for parents, and a resource center for other community organizations and corporations looking to establish accredited early childhood learning centers.

Unfortunately, more and more children are being ' shortchanged, especially during early childhood. Currently, less than 30 of Miami-Dade's childcare centers are accredited, Leaving 97% to be unaccredited. Children DO NOT deserve to be short changed. I believe that the Success by 6 Centex of Excellence Program designed by the United Way of Miami. - Dade, will improva early childhood education. The United Way of Miami -Dade Success by 6 Center will provide up to one hundred forty children with the highest quality care and education. They will accomplish this by providing training centers where professionals can improve their childcare skills. It will also assist businesses in developing quality on-site care and early education services for the children of their employees. The program will elevate the quality of early childcare in Miami - Dade County, as well as provide training and research to educators, parents, and childcare professionals. Most ' importantly, it will supply developmentally appropriate care for children ages 0-18 by constant collaboration and coordination among early childhood education advocates. As you can see, the Success by 6 Center of Excellence is a great opportunity for our community. All we ask of you, the City of Miami Commission, is to please accept its greatness and make this ' opportunity a reality for the many children of Miami -Dade. Sincerely, (::� r 9acyW.

Diaz Mayor - City of Miami 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, Florida 33133 Dear Mayor Diaz: Training and employing people with disabilities ® and special needs. On Thursday, March 7, 2002, United Way of Miami -Dade County will request the City of Miami Commission approval to build a state-of-the-art Early Childhood Learning Center named "United Way Success By 0 Center of Excellence" The center will provide high quality early Childhood care for 140 children. The center will have the larger goal of promoting and helping improve early childcare through the entire Miami -Dade County. The center's goal is to become a center of excellence designed to research, and develop: the best practices for child care professionals to increase their skills; to assist businesses and other organizations to develop programs for the care of children of their employees; and, a research center to develop a curriculum and now techniques can be taught about the best practices on early childhood education. The center will focus on helping elevate the quality of early childhood care through Miami - Dade County. This will be accomplished offering opportunities for learning, for educators, professional practitioners, parents and businesses, as well as by establishing collaborations among the entire individual's concerned about early childhood development. Goodwill Industries is located in the Allapattah area where last year we employed 721 single mothers responsible for over 997 dependents — many of them small children. The struggle these women experience everyday is overwhelming. They must make choices between the need to come to work to support the family or stay home to attend the children's needs, and attend to their proper child development. Proper childcare is essential so these women can continue to come to work and have proper childcare so these children can succeed in school and later on in life, thus breaking the inherited cycle of poverty under which they were born. United Way of Miami -Dade County is an organization whose mission is dedicated to improve the quality of life of people in Miami -Dade County — an organization with a proven track record of community service. No one is more qualified to conduct such an important project. I appeal for your leadership in supporting this initiative that is so very important to the quality of life of the entire community.

The YWCA of Greater Miami has vast experience in the field of Early Child Care and Education and we are well known for our total commitment to children's welfare and education. The Center for Excellence will provide much needed research and information that could. be applied to all child-care facilities. We are raising children in a technologically demanding environment, in non-traditional family arrangements, and with conflicting world events that percolate to a neighborhood milieu in which violence, drugs, and premature death are commonplace. The YWCA, as well as our entire community, needs to have access to proven pedagogical methods that will ensure the success of our children. Our children are our most precious resource, they are our present and future, and in an increasingly complex world we need to provide the educational opportunities that will allow them to become contributing members of our society. When fully operational, the Center for Excellence will be a microcosm that will afford us the knowledge of how best to provide these opportunities. As educators and responsible adults caring for children, we know that with your support and the expertise and commitment of the United Way of Miami -Dade, the Center for Excellence will become a guide and inspiration to this community.

Early deprivation basically cannot be subsequently overcome.

It is my understanding that this facility will be built on the lot adjacent to the United Way of Miami-Dade's Ansin Building headquarters and that it will serve as a model of best practices for the early care and education of young children. In addition to providing high quality care to 140 children, the Center will serve as a training and research facility for parents and child care providers throughout our community. The Center will be an enormous contribution to our community as it will also be the home of three major early care and education entities - Early Childhood Initiative Foundation, Miami -Dade County 5—Chool Readiness Coalition and Healthy Start. Thus, it will provide a space for synergy and coordination of services. Along with this facility, United Way will also be constructing a parking structure that will be necessary to alleviate the street parking that currently fills the location where they are situated. It is hard to imagine why the City of Miami would not support this effort. It will elevate the quality of early care and education in Miami -Dade County. It will offer opportunities for learning, training and research to educators, parents, and child care professionals. It will provid&lhrr � !!�C gWt` � lab!'c il;C'm`j a3� I(a: a .6�).

Currently less than 3% of Miami-Dade's more than 1,300 childcare centers are National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Gold Seal sites. All the more reason why an accredited early childhood learning center is necessary. It will satisfy quality standards for staff training, staff -child ratios and curriculum. Accreditation is like insurance that children at these centers receive high quality care and education.

Any investment in our children is an investment in the whole community, for l am sure future generations will not judge us so much by our fiscal or commercial successes as they will by the type of'men and women we produce, The Bible tells us to train up a child in the way it should go and when it grows old, it will not depart from it.
