FOEMAN CITY CLERK APPROVEB ''TO M AND CORRECTNESS: W472/BSS:kdw - 4 - 00- 931 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA 4B INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM The Honorable Mayor and Members ro : of the City Commission i DATE : OCT 18 2000 FILE: SUBJECT: Amend Resolution for Watson Island UDP (Reduce Acreage) REFERENCES: ENCLOSURE braft Resolution, Resolution No. 98-1205 RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution modifying the original determination (by Resolution No. 98-1205) for the development of the northwest quadrant of Watson Island under the Unified Development Project ("UDP") process. The specific change is to reduce the area to be included within the project boundary and to clarify proposed uses. BACKGROUND The City has determined, by prior action of the City Commission, that the most advantageous method to develop improvements in the remaining open area of Watson Island is under the UDP process. Resolution Number 98-1205, adopted December 8, 1998, identified the UDP area as the northwest quadrant of the island that includes the Watson Island Marina, located at 1040 MacArthur Causeway. The legislation specified that the UDP area consisted of 15.58 acres of upland and 14.08 acres of submerged land, for a total area of 29.66 acres. The City Administration, with its consultants, has studied the site and the acreage selected for development. At this time, we recommend a reduction in the size of area to be developed, in order to better accommodate adjacent projects including the regional Aviation and Visitors Center and the proposed Children's Museum. The revised acreage is approximately 11.0 acres of upland and approximately 14.0 acres of submerged land. These numbers will be refined prior to the issuance of the RFP when the survey of the property is complete. Additionally, we find that uses for the property should be modified to include "entertainment destination" in order to properly market the opportunity to potential developers. The attached legislation amends the original resolution to reflect the change in the size of the UDP area, the modified uses, and corrects some minor errors in the citations of the City Charter and Code. This item has been advertised as a public hearing as requested by Commissioner Teele at the time of the initial determination. 4 CAG/DB/AW/DJ 00— 9,) JAN- 4-00 MON 3 J Ze PP J-9e'-1193 11/93/98 RSSOLUTION NO. 8 110 5 A R.BSOLUTION DOTUMNING THAT THE MOST ADVANTAMM IMPTHOD TO DRVBWP CORTAM ION Tun Y-ORTHWHBT 0WRANT OF WATiCK Islam, I1+ MMIM THS WATBCK Islam MAiRMe WCMW AT 1040 MOLMM CA i, NAT9CK ZSLAND, NZAKI a lLORIDAt aolfaiWING of 15. so Acs OF UPLAND AND 14.06 AC6l88 OF BUMMM XMW a FOR THII PLAlUPM a DRS IQN, CONTRUMM, LUSINO ANA SIFT . 08 CM-OD IaiRRPRONT PROMW LOCATIM ON WSW ZMAMe MMU.- PLO IDA1, • IS AS A MrMBD to LODMr PROM= qW N )' AVrJKWZSI' '= CZTY��MsARIA BR 'DI's PRAM A DR Wf FGR PROPOMU (NMI) FOR MZD .
