WHEREAS, consensus among the public and private sectors of
the community, in partnership with community groups and
non-profit entities, has been achieved, resulting in a shared
course of action for the Renewal Community; and

action will achieve fundamental objectives of economic and
sustainable community development, including:

to induce business expansion of targeted industries
within the Renewal Community;
(2) improving local services, such as increasing the
efficiency of preschool and after school childcare
programs, employment training, and transportation to
help residents become self-sufficient;
(3) reducing crime, such as implementing crime reduction
initiatives, including crime prevention programs, will
target key investments of ,limited resources that result
in the revitalization of livable neighborhoods and
restore economic vitality to distressed neighborhoods;
(4) reducing government requirements, such as streamlining
or removing government regulations within the Renewal
Community, by instituting within the Renewal Community
density bonuses, incentive zoning, comprehensive or
non-stop permits, variance and exception policies and
voluntary environmental compliance program for which
all of these initiatives are geared towards stimulating
development in parts of the Renewal Community that
would otherwise remain undeveloped because government
requirements provide no incentive for developers to
undertake the risk of development in the Renewal
Community;
(5) involving community partners, calls for involvement in
economic development activities by private businesses,
organizations, and community groups within the and
the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce working to
