A four day charrette took place at the Moore Building in the Design District. The charrette was organized as a public planning event to provide professional assistance for both communities based on the input from all concemed. The charrette began and ended with public presentations. In an interactive process of meetings and design, numerous issues were addressed, both short-term and long-term; the result of this work is presented in this report. The Planning Study was commissioned by the City of Miami. The Department of Planning and Development and the Little Haiti NET office provided oversight and organizational assistance to the design team. The charrette process was led by Duany Plater-Zyberk and Company, Architects and Town Planners. Their consultants included Savino and Miller Design Studio, Landscape Architects; Mark Alvarez from Carr Smith Carradino, Associates, Traffic Consult- ants; Professor Jean Francois Lejeune from the University of Miami, School of Architecture; Jorge Espinel, President of the Miami Urban Environmental League; Seth Harry, Retail Design Consultant. The foundation work for the charrette involved research by the study team, including all prior reports on the study area, meetings with the Department of Planning and Development and other City, County and State departments, and meetings with the Design District and the Creole District merchants and residents. Goals The maim goal of this study is to outline strategic actions for the Design District and the Creole District to encourage revitalization. The study ties the two communities together, based on their association with the arts and design, their strong urban character and their similarities in Iocation and importance as commercial mixed use cores for the sur- rounding residential neighborhoods. The expanding retail presence in the Design District offers the opportunity to showcase products of surrounding industrial districts including the Little River Industrial District, as part of the City's economic development goals. The Design District is a regional commercial destination, and potentially an international business destination, which is surrounded by residential neighborhoods and has the potential of serving as their commercial focus. At the outset of the charrette, the following were concerns identified by the stakeholders of the Design District. I . Establishing a sense of place and visual identity for the Design District. 2. Articulate the entrances to the District. 3. Signage, including coordination with the City of Miami Signage Program. 4- The relationship of N.E. 2nd Avenue and North Miami Avenue to the I-195 Expressway. 5. Roadway, sidewalk, and landscape improvements within the public rights -of -way. 6. Design guidelines for existing and new buildings, and public spaces. 7. Pedestrian accessibility and public safety. 8. Vehicular accessibility and circulation within the study area including public transit, loading and parking. 9. Art in public places Master Plan The Creole District is the commercial heart of a series of Little Haiti Neighborhoods. Needs include: I. Establishing a sense ofplace and visual identity for the commercial and cultural center ofLittleHaiti 2. Define entrances and main street character 3. Accessibility and traffic, 4. Signage, including coordination with the City ofMiami Signage Program. 5. Roadway, sidewalk, and landscape improvements within the public rights -of -way. 6. A strategy for parking to serve future commercial development and mitigate residential neighborhood impact. 7. Design guidelines for existing and new buildings, and public spaces along the N.E. 2nd Avenue corridor. 8. Pedestrian accessibility and public safety. These concerns range from those of regional impact, to community based issues, to the needs of individual streets and blocks. This scale gradations was addressed in the presented report. v9 974 01997 Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company AUAM DESIGN DIST Cr AND LrM-E HAM CREOLE DISTRICT MANNING STUDY 2 Prepared for the City of hLami - Department of Planning and Development by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company.

Introduction This section is concerned with the broader context for the Design and Creole Districts: What is their role within Miami's overall development? What is their relationship to surrounding neighborhoods? How can they help improve their surroundings? How can they contribute to improving Miami's social and economic outlook? What are both districts' future potential? In attempting to answer these questions, we have examined the regional context to determine the extent to which the two districts' development is consistent with the overall goals for, and development tendencies in, South Florida. We have also looked at their role in the Edison/Little River Community Development Area, (also referred to as Little Haiti), and theirrelationship to otherneighborhoods and sites in the vicinity. Given current discussions about the revitalization of Miami's urban core, we have given special attention to the Biscayne Boulevard and NE 2nd Avenue corridor, particularly the area between the study area and Bicentennial Park. Our aim here has been to determine the possible role of the Design and Creole Districts in helping to bring about its transformation and addressing some of the challenges Miami is facing at the present time. Finally, we have looked at edge conditions of the districts in order to identify specific problems that need special attention in relation to their surroundings. e q -- , 4 4 4D1997 Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company' • ' i ! ! ! ! / j' 1rl1CJ1711 r DESIGN ,t DISTRICT I t 1 1 I I t > 1 , \ Nine D 1* I ►.t I I 54IH u I I 1 4 FF 2 < e I I � aertt z N z I i t I 361i1 I O¢a OVER' W WN tn I 1•� I ��+:Afw E2 ' 5" Ica t`6rte�IN 1 i i� rn 79dr E� J„ , 4 Biscayne ' 1 Bay I 1-195 I Iutia Tuttle Causeway I I I I t WATER I t I fS OMm ' Venetia Causeway / / — = 1 111-595 !

Situation The Edison/Little River Community Development Target Area is the immediate context for the Design and Creole District. It is bounded by I-95 on the west, 87th Street on the north, Biscayne BIvd. to the east, and NE 36th Street, (or I-195 ) to the south. It includes the neighborhoods of Buena Vista West and Buena Vista East, as well as Brentwood, Lemon City, Little River and Little Haiti proper. It is important to note that while the terra "Little Haiti" is used as a synonym forthe EdisonlLittle River Community Development Target area by the City of Miami Planning, Building and Zoning, it is alsoused to describe a more limited area, different from neighborhoods such as Buena Vista, between NW 2nd and NE 2nd Avenues, from NE 54th to NE 79th Street. Demographics The 1990 census reported a population close to 39,243 people in the Edison/Little River Community Development Target area; 82% of which were black, (predominantly of Haitian origin), 5% White,12.6% Hispanic and .4 % other. About 50% of this population was less than 39 years of age.17,462 persons were living below the poverty level - an increase from 13,138 in 1980. Immigration from Haiti occurred mainly during the 1980's. According to the 1994-96 Edison/Little River neighborhood Planning Pro. -Tam, this number is expected to increase dramatically in the 1990's. Land UseslArteries Residential, commercial and industrial are the predominant land uses in the target area. Residential uses are low density single family and medium density multi -family structures. Commercial uses are mainly small shops and show- rooms in the Deign District and along NE 54th Street, NW 2nd and NE 2nd Avenues and Biscayne Blvd. Industrial uses include metal crafts, plastics and furniture upholstery. These industries stretch primarily from NE 54th to NE 75th Street between NE 2nd and NE 4th Avenues. Major arterials are 79th, 62nd, 54th and 36th Streets. NE 2nd Avenue is the major spine for the area. Other important north -south routes are NW 2nd and N. Miami Avenue. Biscayne Blvd. is at its eastern edge, Urban probtemslneeds After experiencing an out migration in the 1970's, the Edison/Little River Community underwent substantial deterio- ration. Illegal constructions and conversions, as well as a lack of code enforcement have been a consistent problem. Large homes have been subdivided to accommodate multiple families_ Sidewalks are deteriorated or missing in many places along arterial ways. Accumulation of trash and garbage on vacant lots and public rights of way is a common. The Edison/Little River Community has multiple needs ranging from economic development, security and health/ preventive care, to major sidewaWdrainage improvements, lighting, and garbage disposal. Assets White much of the Edison/Little River Community area has significant problems, areas such as the Design District and the Buena Vista Historic District are undergoing an important renovation process. Major investments are being made to transform the Design District into a lively and economically vibrant focus of activity forthe area. Neighbor- hood community groups and the local NET office have undertaken important initiatives to improve conditions. The renewed focus on Miami's design industry on this area and the rich cultural heritage of the Haitian community, heighten the potential of this area as a lively urban neighborhood center and a major tourist attraction in Miami.

The Design District Area and Location The Design District is an area of approximately ten square blocks extending from N. Miami Avenue to North Federal Highway, immediately west of Biscayne Boulevard, between NE 36th and NE 41 st Streets. The District is situated at the southern end o€Little Haiti or the Edison/Lirde Rivercommunity Development Area. Adjacent to State Route 112 (US. I-195), and a short distance from U.S. I-95, the Design District has a central location, about ten minutes by car from downtown Miami, the airport and Miami Beach. Uses and evolution Primarily comprised of showrooms dedicated to home and office furnishings catering to the interior design profession, the District is undergoing a significant transformation after a period of decline in the 80's. It is now the home of the Design and Architecture Senior High School, DASH, a major magnet school in Miami. Several restaurants have opened in the recent years. Dacra, the real estate whose initiative contributted significantly to South Beach's revitaliza- tion, has renovated a number of structures including the Moore Building, to provide retail and live work space. It is generally aggreed that the transformation of some showrooms from wholesale to retail facilities will attract more public and enliven the area, as will increasing residential uses in the District. Urban Characteristics The Design District has a relatively strong urban character- Street space is well defined by one to four story buildings in apparent good condition, overlooking and entered from the sidewalks. Nonetheless, the District lacks a clear identity. Its existence as a distinct place in Miami is not readily apparent to persons traveling along the north-east corridor, or from the airport to Miami Beach. From Biscayne Blvd., the District is hidden from view by nondescript, deteriorated buildings. The FEC right of way running along North Federal Highway, just west of Biscayne Blvd., the I-112 flyover at its southern edge, and the FEC railroad yards presently being used by the Port as a container depot, just south of 36th Street, while providing boundaries for the district, discourage access to an area of indistinct image. Porentiat Despite these problems, the Design District has great potential as a special place in Miami as well as a means to help bring about the economic and urban revitalization of adjacent areas. As the entry point to the NE 2nd Avenue Corridor that includes the Buena Vista Historic District and Little Haiti, the District can do much to help open and improve these neighborhoods. In conjunction with the Little River and Wynwood industrial districts, the Design District can become the City's showroom for products made in Miami. As a counter anchor to the Performing Arts District, the Design District can help generate the momentum and critical mass required to revitalize the area between NE 15th and NE 36th Streets. 3.

Neighborhoods and sites in the vicinity of the Design and Creole Districts. Introduction There are a number of neighborhoods and sites in the vicinity of the Design and CreolesDistricts. These include: a) Buena Vista, immediately west and north of the Design District; b) Magnolia Park just east of the District, accross the FEC tracks; c) Edgewater to the south east of the District beyond Biscayne Blvd.; d) the FEC Yards ( presently being used by the Port as a container depot), immediately south of the District aceross NE 36th Street; e) Wynwood, south- west of the .District; and f) The Omni, just south of Edgewater. a. Buena Vista Primarily a residential area, Buena Vista stretches between I-95 and N.E. 2nd Avenue from N.E. 36th to N.E. 54th Street This area encompasses the Buena Vista Historic District, a smaller residential enclave immnediately north of the Design District, primarily comprised of detached single, one and two story houses and apartment buildings in Mediter- ranean Revival, Mission, Bungalow and Art Deco styles. The boundaries of the historic district are: North Miami Avenue, N.E. 2nd Avenue, N.E. 42nd and N.E. 48th Streets. Buena Vista is experiencing a significant revival after going through a period of decline and deterioration from the 70's on. Homes that fell in a state of disrepair or were illegally subdivided to accommodate large numbers of recently arrived, low income families are being renovated. With the emergence of organizations such as The Buena Vista Fast Association that monitors neighborhood activities and lobbies for improvements, the neighborhood will likely undergo further improvements and attract persons working in the Design District. b. Magnolia Park This is a very small neighborhood that forms part of the Upper East Side, an area to the east of the FEC tracks between NE 38th and NE 87th Streets. Magnolia Park stretches from 1-195 to Baypoint, a private gated community with its main entrance close to NE 45th Street- The neighborhood includes, on the west side of Biscayne Blvd. the WPLG Channel 10 Studios, the MAX Corporation, and a numberof small dilapidated buildings that serve as a visual barrier to the District The west side of Biscayne includes the Police Museum, a number of well preserved residences in several historical styles, and MagnolialStearus Park at the edge of Biscayne Bay. This area is particularly important to the Design District because it serves as one of its major gateways. How this area is developed, specially on the west side of Biscayne will have an important impact on the Design District and its profile in Miami. c- Edgewater This is a neighborhood close to the Design District bounded by Biscayne Blvd. and the Bay between ME 20th and N.E. 36th Streets. It is primarily comprised of one and two story houses, several high rise condominiums and a number of office buildings along Biscayne Blvd. including the headquarters of the New Times. While a good partof the housing stock in this area is dilapidated and most of the streets are dead end streets that do not connect to one another at the edge of the Bay, the area has a great deal of potential because of its proximity to the water, its relative tranquility and its location between the Performing Arts and the Design District. There are several efforts under way to improve the condition of the neighborhood. One such example can be found is at N.E. 31 st Street where significant renovations have been carried out in several residential groupings, and a number of artists, designers and actors have moved in. 01997 Danny Plater-Zyberk & ComPmmY'' " ^ d. The FEC YardslPort of Miami Container Depot Lying at the southern edge of the Design District, stretching from NE 29th to N.E 36th Street between N. Miami Avenue and NE 2nd Avenue, the FEC Yards have a major impact on the approach to the Design District and the area as a whole. A badly kept industrial site, the Yards convey an abandoned and forbidding feeling that discourages and serves as a major barrier to people venturing in the area. In its latest plan, the Port proposes to make even greater use of this land. If Miami seeks to improve the area around the Design District, this is a issue that requires substantial debate. e. Wynwood (Description to be taken from Wynwood Chatrette material). Add the following points: Inwood's industrial area could be an important manufacturing resource for the Design District Alternately, the District could serve as an outlet for products manufactured here. (The following part is optional)- However, it is important to note that many of the cabinet and furniture makers in Miami have their workshops in Hialeah, a closely knit,predominantly Hispanic city. Whether they would be prepared to move to this area, or whether new enterprises could be developed here that would be able to compete with existing manufacturers depends on a wide range of socio-cultural issues requiring an in-depth analysis of the manufacturing trades. f. The Omni The Omni District (including Omni West) encompasses an area between Biscayne Bay and North Miami Avenue from I-395 to N.E. 20th Street The District includes: the Omni -Venetia complex comprised of a shopping mall, two hotels and two condominium towers; The Miami Herald and Knight-Ridder administration offices; Dade County Schools' administrative offices; the College of Fine Arts; WLRN studios; the Homeless Assistance Center, Margaret Pace Park and the historic City of Miami Cemetery. As the site of the future Performing Arts Center and possibly the New World School of the Arts, the Omni is viewed as Miami's future Arts District While the area to the east of Biscayne Blvd. has undergone significant renovation, the area to the west is extremely run down. The Omni is relevant to the Design District in that together they can be viewed as anchor points for the revitalization of Miami's urban core and can serve as a major driving force in transforming the area adjacent to Biscayne Blvd. between I-395 and I-112.

The Area Between Bicentennial Park and the Design District Concerns, and Issues The area between Bicentennial Park and the Design District is the subject of considerable concern. Close to downtown Miami, at the edge of Biscayne Bay, it is one of Miami's most valuable assets. Yet, it has remained neglected for years. Uses in this area are inconsistent with its value. Empty lots, warehouses and abandoned or deteriorated buildings abound here. Waterfront land and parks are underutilized, inaccessible or unsafe. Biscayne Blvd. is spotted with shabby buildings that fail to define its spatial character or promote pedestrian activity. The FEC right of way as well as the I-395 and 1-195 flyovers make the area ajacent to their footpring forbidding- The FEC yards in the vicinity of the Design District, currently utilized as acontainer depot for the Port of Miami. project adesolate and unsafe feeling that disuades people from the area. Major projects are slated for this area including a Performing Arts Center, a new Arena, a possible Port expansion and a World Ttrade Center. Nevertheless, the area has not been studied or planned as a whole. It will be at least four years before the Performing Arts Center is built. Major investment commitments have yet to materialize. Given the fact that the revitalization of the Design District is already underway, it may be able to play an important role as a catalyst to improve this area. within a shorter time frame. 5. Regional Issues, The Eastward Ho Regional Initiative Problems Over the past eighty years, market conditions, public policies and infrastructure developements have encouraged a westward movement in South east Florida. This has given rise to suburban sprawl and traffic congestion. It has left the older, eastern urban cores abandoned and in a state of deem. Meeting the reeds of expanding growth areas, rather than encouraging growth in existing developed areas has proven to be extremely expensive. It has also had a negative impact on South Florida's natural environment and threatens to create major problems in the future. In the next twenty years South Florida is expected to increase its population by about two million people requiring more homes, new institutional facilities and infrastructure. Issues As things stand, development in the region has already r•uc hed the environmental sensitive Everglades. How will we accommodate this growth, maintain South Florida's unique character, generate a better economy and encourage a harmonious relationship between its various ethnic group,` One answer can be found in the Eastward Ho Initiative. recommended by the Govemor's Commission for a Sus' ait .::r South Florida in 1995. Alternatives M�V.-C*—.y The Eastward He Initiative is a regional effort to achieve a sustamable South Florida by reducing suburban sprawl and redirecting development away from the Everglades towards the East. A major objective of this effort is to foster the creation of sustainable communitics in the east by revitializin_ and bringing residents back to South Florida's decayed urban cores. Land targeted for this effort stretches from sou' them Dade to North Central Palm Beach Counties between, and adjacent to the FEC and CSX railroad tracks, including South Florida's major downtowns. This initiative has been embraced by key government agencies and will undoubtedly open the door to special revitalization funding sources. Yw, Brggo ff', 0. — OMNI-DESIGN DISTRICT, BISCAYNE BOULEVARD CORRIDOR Conclusions The Edison/Little River (Little Haiti) area lies within the bounds of the Eastwart He target area. Proposed develop- ments in the Design District and Little Haiti are not only consistent with, but can be an extremely important tool for advancing Eastward Ho objectives. 91 "7 Duany Plata-Zybetk & Company MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT AND LITTLE IIAM CREOLE DISTRICT PLANNING STUDY i Prepared for tie City of Miami • Department of Planning and Development by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company.

The Role of the Design District in Miami's Development, Challenges and Opportunities Challenges As Miami approaches the 21st Century, it faces a numberof majorchallenges. Among these: • Controlling suburban sprawl and encouraging a higher density, mixed use residential development towards the eastern part of the region. • Rebuilding and revitalizing Miami's decayed urban core to matte it a safe, socially vibrant and economically viable area of the city. • Reducing Dade County's unemployment and diversifying its economy to create amore stable job base and greater investment opportunities. • Integrating Miami's diverse ethnic groups into the County's social and urban fabric while fostering a sense of pride in their ethnic values. • Increasing opportunities for self-help improvements and encouraging entrepreneurship among new immigrants. • Developing Miami's urban fabric in a way that responds, not only to economic interests, but also responds to sustainability and esthetic concerns and celebrates cultural values. Dealing with these challenges requires a concerted effort on many fronts, as well as a major commitment on the part of the private and public sectors. It also calls for the best possible use of available resources and opportunities. Opportunities The Design District is a great opportunity for Miami for a number of reasons: I. It is in a unique position to spearhead the economic and urban revitalization of Miami's urban core within a relatively short time frame- It will be at least four years before plans for projects such as the Performing Arts Center come to fruition. A great deal construction will have to be done to repair and build up downtown Miami's dilapidated urban fabric. This will call for major new investments. The Design District, on the other hand, is a well established and vital component of Dade County's economy and one of the few areas in the downtown vicinity that has a healthy, strong and coherent urban fabric. Compared to areas such as Park West, there does not seers to be as great a need for new construction investment. 2. Located at the heart of a broader area that includes the Little River and the Inwood. Industrial Districts, the Design District has the potential of harnessing together the strengths of the design and the manufacturing sectors to generate new jobs and produce new marketable products forMiami and the Latin American region. - - 974 4 hHANU DESIGN DISTRICT AND LrdTLE IiATTI CREOLE DI5TRICTp .ANNING STI(mY Pfepajed for the City of Miami - Department of Planning and Development by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company. Architects and Town Planners EX'STING CONDrs ONO AND rm ENTIAL 3. In conjunction with the Design and Architecture Senior High and other design related, education and research institutions, the Design District can expand from a Iimited trade -related area to an important focus for design activity in South Florida: a center for the design arts; a place where exhibits, lectures and events promoting excellence in all aspects of design can be held. As with the predictions for the Omni District once the Performing Arts Center is built, this can spur a wide range of related activities and businesses that will encourage the economic revitalization ofadjacentareas. 4. One of the key concerns in the revitalization of Miami's urban Coreis to promote residential uses and encourage the development neighborhood activities close to wotl: areas. This will not only reduce Miami's dependence on the automobile andd expenditures on road construction. It will also be a key to making Miami a people friendly place, mcreasing security and promoting a sense of stewardship for the area Integrating loft spaces within the District as currently planned is an important step in addressing this concern. In terms of the broader picture, the Design District's success as a focal point for the design arts can have a powerful effect in improving the residential character of the area from the Omni to at least NE 79th Street. As in the case of cities like New York, a vibrant District can encourage the migration of designers and artists to the area and promote the establishment of small businesses ranging from comer grocery stores to cafes and restaurants, all of which usually tend to encourage imorovements in an area. This is already happening in neighborhoods adjacent to the District such as Buena Vista and Edgewater. A resurgence of the Design District can accelerate this process. 7. Edge Conditions and Access to the District, Problems and Issues There area number of barriers and problem areas around the Design District that need to be overcome or addressed in order to open the Design District to the City and to integrate the area between 1-395 and I-195. These include: The FEC Right of Way along North Federal Highway 2. Dilapidated buildings along the Biscayne Blvd. entrance to the District 3. The I-195 Flyover 4. The FEC Yards/ Port Container Depot 5. Empty lots and industrial uses along N.E. 2nd Avenue, south of NE 36th Street 6. Lack of alignment in NE 2nd Ave_ north and south of NE 36th Street 7.

The area's traditional urban plan provides a good founda- tion for the improvement of the physical environment The street and block network allows pedestrian and vehicular connectivity; the urban fabric is continuous, with only a few empty lots; there is a variety of lot sizes and building types; there are numerous structures of history and interesting character which contribute to the pedestrian friendly environment The strategic actions to carry out the Master Plan for the Design District are categorized according to the three main tools of urban enhancement: design, policy and management. The design of the Plan proposes a mixed use district, focused on the design arts and industry, characterized by pedestrian -friendly streets and low-rise buildings with landscaped courtyards and cross block passages. Specific design and construction projects are suggested to be undertaken in the short ran to reinforce the plan with an early illustration of its intention. The policy proposals provide the regulatory basis for the plan's implementation promoting the physical predictability of the place as it builds and rebuilds, an important insurance for investors and property owners. Design and policy facilitate urban management by structuring the physical environment for security, ease of mainte- nance and long term value. Design, policy and management proposals may have different implementors. A second categorization by implementing sector follows.

Three alternatives have been presented for improving the safety and capacity of I-195. The components of primary interest to the Design District are access improvements at N. Miami Avenue, and at Biscayne Boulevard. Recommen- dations include: • A traffic signal would be installed at the intersection of the I-195 entrance ramp at N. Miami Avenue. The Prrmay advantage is to allow left rums from eastbound I-195 onto Miami Avenue, providing direct access into the district from I-95, the airport Coral Gables, and many other locations throughout the County- Although there would be 4 closely spaced signals (within 500 ft.), timing can be coordinated to prevent stacking problems on N. Miami Avenue. This improvement can feasibly be funded and implemented within a 5 year time frame. ' With existing traffic, the segments ofNorth Miami Avenue operate at the following levels -of service. (Ref.

Miami Avenue are timed and metered so that they cannot exceed the storage of the NERM 381 Street approach. • Frontage Roads can be brought from North Miami Avenue to NE 1 Avenue, providing better access to the District- The frontage roads should not be used to accommodate trucks, since the high truck volumes would be inconsistent with other components for the use of NE 381 Street. This is a long term improvement, and needs to be coordinated with the reuse of the FEC tract.

Biscayne Boulevard and 38u` Street To support gateway concepts, the roadway alignment of NE 381" Street, between Biscayne Boulevard and Federal Highway, requires little change; however, two-way operation is introduced on both 38m and 39i4 Street between Biscayne Boulevard and Federal Highway, to curate traffic movement that could support small scale retail/entertain- mcnt commercial development_ • To be completely effective as an cast gateway, the signal at Biscayne Boulevard and NE 371 Street would need a protected left turn from northbound US-1 to NE 37,' Street. • The five -way intersection at Federal Highway, NE 381" Street, NE 391" Street, and NE 37" Street would need a four -phase sig- nal if all turning movements are to be retained and assure that tarn queues clear the FEC tracks (see diagram to right). To reduce this to three phases, left turn restrictions would be necessary (dotted lines). • The eastbound stop bar would be west of the FEC right-of-way.

The nearby intersection of NE 36" Street and Biscayne Boulevard (400 feet to the east) functions at LOS E in the am. peak hour, and LOS F in the p.m. peak hour. (Ref. Footnote l ) Study 4 is an existing condition alternative. Operationally, Studies 2 and 3 are similar. Study 1, the roundabout, is the preferred option, providing visibility, vista termination, a sense of place, traffic calming, and improved intersection operation with present traffic levels. Studies 1 and 2 are described below. NE 2"1 Avenue / Federal Highway and 361 Street Gateway Study # 1— Roundabout Study 1, the traffic roundabout, involves the creation of an elliptical traffic roundabout at the five -way intersection of NE 361 Street, NE 21d Avenue, and Federal Highway. Illegal turns and confusion at the 361 Street intersection would be effectively mitigated. • A strong entrance into the District would be established, with the possibility of locating a major gateway feauue, or public art in the center island_ • The circulation pattern would calm through traffic on all departures, including NE 2°d Avenue as it enters the more pedestrian active Design District. • The configuration would be with two-lane deflected approaches, a 30-foot wide circulating lane, and a center island of 130 feet by 100 feet. This circle accommodates a WB-15 design vehicle (5 axle, 50-ft. semi combination truck). • At each approach's entry to the circle, 30 foot by 8-foot sputter islands provide for vehicular orientation and deflection, as well as to provide pedestrian refuge forpedestrian crossings 20 feet back from the outer inscribed circle. This provides for safe pedestrian crossings with refuge and maximum unprotected crossing distances of 30 feet (about 11 seconds to cross). This design is not as pedestrian friendly as the preferred study, because protected signal phases for pedestrian crossings are not possible, and crossing these approaches takes more awareness by the pedestrian of vehicular patterns through the roundabout. • Rail crossings require automatic signal gates at both points in the circulating lane, and at the Federal Highway approach. Some movements could continue during a train crossing. • The traffic performance of the proposed roundabout was analyzed using SIDRA software analysis. The results are given in the following table. Approaches to the roundabout operate at LOS B or better at the PM peak. The longest average delay is 6.7 seconds (Federal Hwy.), and the longest peak queue is 246 feet (9.5 vehicles) on NE 211 Avenue. Operationally, the roundabout performs better than the existing intersection. �9- 14 61997 Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company' Estimated Roundabout Performance Queue Max.

NE 2rd Avenue would be intuitively more continuous. Illegal turns and confusion at the 3611 Street intersection would be effectively mitigated. A strong entrance into the District would be established. • The S-bend created north of 361' Street would calm through traffic on NE 2e1 Avenue as it enters the more pedestrian active Design District. • The alternative is pedestrian friendly, shortening crossing distances, and reducing the number of turns and approaches that a pedestrian needs to check. This simplifies safe pedestrian access to the Design District, and enhances bus and jitney transfers. This alternative would require the creation of a second rail road crossing on NE 2' Avenue_ • Additional turning operations at Federal Highway and NE 21d Avenue would take place within 200 feet of the 361' Street intersection. • Federal Highway remains open as part of the urban network, and emergency access to the Borinquen Clinic is not impacted.

MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT AND LITTLE HAITI CREOLE DISTRICT PLANNING STUDV 23 Prepared for the City of Miami -Department of Planning and Development by Duany Pla:cr-Z.vberk & Company, Architects and Town Planners M 0 Providing adequate, safe, and convenientparking to support the revitalization of the Design District is one of the Primary infrastructure issues facing the district. Merchants have spoken to the issue on several occasions at the Design District Merchants' Meeting, and through the charrette process. The concerns were: • Formerchants who use the FDOT spaces under 1-195, there will be a shortage of spaces during, construction Of improvements, as the spaces are used for a staging area. • Parking will become more difficult as the area becomes more successful New parking capacity should be provided by a garage, or more on street spaces. n Valet parking is also a good option. k New parking capacity should be sought through redevelopment incentives. The Design District traditionally provides showroom and sales space for the interior design and furnishings industry to sell to the trade and retail clients. Revitalization will focus on mixing the trade business with retail, and entertain- ment activity, as well as the establishment of a visualldecorativelperformance arts neighborhood of live/work residential studio spaces. The business' clientele are generally comprised of interior designers with and without their clients, visiting the showrooms for 1 to 2 hours during daytime business hours. Although the demand for parking by these trade stores is lower than for other retail establishments, the clients' parking requirements are specific. It is important that parking is very convenient, visible, and fora sufficiently long duration to inspect merchandise and convey transactions. Loading requirements are also important. Parking must accommodate delivery and loading of large furnishings in tracks, as well as smaller furnishings in clients' vehicles. The employees of the businesses require safe, convenient parking for durations of up to 12 hours. That the parking is visible, and directly in front of the establishments' doors is not necessary. Where some establishments do not provide employee parking behind the building or at a remote location, employees are using spaces at the store fronts, to the detriment of the convenience for clients. As the Decign.District grows, trade, gallery, retail and entertainment establishments that attract business from the general public as well as the trade will become more prevalent. With this change, parking demand will increase both from the addition of new space, and the conversion of existing space. The characteristics of parking demand will also change, as retail and entertainment establishments require more parking per square foot of establishment, later hours of demand, and changes in parking duration and turnover. Artists studios will require all day parking, and night parking in locations that are perceptibly safe in the middle of the night. Unlike otherresidences, artists' studios will also have special loading needs. As the district grows and develops, a parking management plan must be developed to support the traditional trade needs. Provide additional business, retail and entertainment capacity, and meet changing parking characteristics, while coexisting with the establishment of a safe pedestrian urban environment. ®1997 Donny Plater.ZyHuk-&-Company. � ­ DESIGN D11S11MCT PAP -KING MWAGEMENT MARK ALVAREZ i CARR S1YdI M CARRADINO, ASSSOCIABES Existing Parking Inventory An inventory of existing Parking spaces was performed by methods of direct survey, and estimation based on measure- ments taken from base maps. Estimates were used primarily for the areas south of I-195, west of Miami Avenue, and north of NE 41', Street. Estimates were also used for internal parking garages, and private Iots without pavement markings. An average of 1 space per 300 square feet of lot area was used. Based on the survey and estimates, there is a total inventory of 1,553 parking spaces in the Design District. Type ofFacitiry Parking_s aces On -Street 472 City of Miami Lots 160 Private Parking Lots (on site, and off -site within District) 921 Internal Garages 100 Total 1,553 Design District Parking Demand and Needs Estimates To determine the parking capacity that would be required as the Design District grows, parking demand was calculated for three scenarios of development: existing conditions, existing building space with greater occupancy in the existing space, and a longer term scenario in which retail, entertainment, and residential space is expanded. For each of the scenarios, the tables included in Exhibit A show the calculations for floor area, parking demand, and net surplus or demand forparking. It should also be noted that the methods used tend to slightly overestimate parking demand because of an overestima- tion of floor space. Without detailed records, interior circulation space, mechanical space, atrium space, and other open area are not subtracted from the estimate of activity space that generates parking demand- The overestimation error would not Iikely be more than about 10%. The demand estimates are based on a survey of existing land uses, vacancies, and number of floors, estimation of internal floor space by floor and land use, and parking generation rates based on the City ofMiarni Zoning Ordinance, and the 1995 Institute of Transportation Engineers (1711) parking Generation Manual. Pertinent to the City of Miami Zoning Ordinance, typical artist studios can be considered I bedroom wits. The current market indicates that artist studios will be in the range of 600 to 1.000 square feet. An average, 800 s.f_ is used for this analysis; therefore, a parking demand of I space per 800 square feet of residential space is used. While the City of Miami Zoning Ordinance C-1 commercial retail requirements are appropriate for general public retail uses, it may overstate the requirement for trade retail, such as in the Design District. Although these show rooms are open to the public, they are primarily patronized by interior design professionals and their clients. Although a retail use, the design trade uses generate much less parking demand than other retail uses, since the sales are of low volume, high value merchandise, and much of the floor space is for inventory storage which is also used as showroom space.

The Design District is in the SD-8 special zoning district, with the underlying zoning district, C-1, Restricted Commercial. Tice C-1 zoning district requires a minimum lot of 50' wide by 100' deep, a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.72, and maximum building footprint of 40% of the gross lot area: The SD-8 code is more permissive, allowing an FAR of 2.00, with some bonuses as follows: FAR +.25 for buildings which provide 75% of parking on site, and screened from public view. FAR +30% for building providing 20% additional parking beyond requirements. FAR+ A0 for buildings that provide ground level, at -street right-of-way, pedestrian embayments, or exterior arcades plazas, or pedestrian through connections. Land use and floor area are divided by floor to facilitate forecasting future conversion of space to retail, restaurant and residential use. In the forecast for which additional floor area is added, it is assumed that restaurant and retail absorb ground floor space fast, while residential absorbs upper floors fast. 01997 Duany Prater-zyberk * Cmapaay. . - , — - Existing Conditions Parldng Demand and Needs E.stintate The Design District includes approximately 1.34-million square feeto£builtspace, on approximately 1.61-million square feet of net buildable land (does not include transportation rights -of -way, or public lands).

This estimate represents a short term redevelopment scenario for redevelopement and reuse consistent with planning goals. A 95% occupancy is used instead of 100% as a practical consideration of market performance, and to allow for some turnover and business mobility as a natural outcome of redevelopment success.

The scenario demon- strates the velocity of impacts caused by small increases by more intensive land uses. With only a 14% increase in total built area, parking demand increased by 34%. This demand would need to be met by a large district -wide public parking structure, or several smaller ones. It may also be cumulatively met through SD-8 parking incentives, improved transit service, and some public parking struc- tures, such as those proposed in the Parking Garage Studies. e,79— D 0 4 01997 Danny Plater-zybak & Company-. - MAW DMGNDiS RIG'TANDI,rjn&IELAMCRE01_D MCT p1_1MWtG STUDSf 26 Prepared for the City of Miami - Department of planning and, Development by Danny Plater-2yberk & Company. Architects and Town Planners Parking Garage Studies i Thedeficit ofparldng can be met by the provision of a garage proposed by the studies on the following page. In each, the propertyfronting NE 41° Street, to the northwest of the Moore Building is proposed for a mixed use garage, g y g PP g g providing both habitable space, and space for street level non -auto uses. Both studies provide for 162 to 180 standard car parking spaces at 70° angles. Option A uses compact aisles in a three tray design, while Option B uses a two tray design with standard aisles. Option A uses 404 to 411 s f. per space, while Option B uses 433 to 444 s.f. per space. Access and egress is through the alley on the south side providing a continuous front for pedestrian access. habitable space fronting 414 Street ranges from 6,000 s.f. to 12,000 s.f. on 2 to 4 stories. s To increase parking capacity and convenience, a similar parking garage should be sited and constructed such that it provides safe, convenient parking to the District, while retaining its urban character and providing additional habitable space. a i Parking Management Recommendations Most of the immediate parking concerns of the merchants can be ameliorated through a parking management program which would include the following components: c Replacement of 3-hour and 12-hour on -street meters in the District to 2-hour duration meters at the same payment rate_ This would discourage employees and business proprietors from using for all day parking, on -street spaces which should be reserved for clients, customers, and other visitors. Provide for increased shared parking among different properties and uses. This will become especially important as residential artist studio space become more prevalent, increasing the potential for more highly utilized, 24- hour parking facilities. The SD-8 zoning district already provides incentives for shared parking by allowing additional FAR when on site parking capacity exceeds demand by more than 20%. Allow remote parking for residential and livetwork studio uses. Currently, the zoning ordinance requires that residential uses in C-k districts provide on site parking. Because it is a mixed use district, and because live / work studio space has different temporal parking patterns than other residential areas, it is important to provide flexible parking capacity in central locations. • Implementation of a valet parking service to increase the security and convenience for clients. Valet parking would also further enable the use of shared off -site parking, and provide a higher amenity level for attracting entertain- ment and retail patronage. 01997 Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company • - EXIMIT A Design District Parking Requirements for Existing Conditions and Two Growth Scenarios Existing condipon r.Stimate Taal Poor Area Estimate Buildable Design Other Large Small Residential Schools, kdamel Tate!

Sector Signs Three years ago, the Downtown Development Authority was awarded agmrittowork- with local government agencies and neigh- borhood groups to develop a comprehensive signage program which provides clear directional information and identities different sec- tors within downtown Miami. These sector and gateway signs are meant to be user -friend]%, have uniformity of signage per sector and are intended to improve Miami's image. Signs on highways identify to motorists specific access points into these sectors, Tile signs have easily recognizable symbols and bold identifiable colors located throughout their districts. Once within a sector, motorists and pedestrians are guided by internal signs on streets and avenues towards main destination points and activity areas. 1199i I)aam Piaicr-Z.herk & lompam Stgnage Proposal / Signaie Prapoxal:e? DESIGN DISTRICT Design District Sector Sign Proposal The City of Miami's Department of Planning and Development followed the successful implementation ofthe model ofdowntown Miami Comprehensive En- vironmental Graphic / Signage Design and Implemen- tation Program and extended it into the Design Dis- trict. It has on contract the firm of Bermel to Ajamil & Partners. inc., who is collaborating with Tom Grabowski and Associates. Inc. to design, develop and implement four sector signs for the Design District as it first phase. The City of Miami's Dcparment has requested additional CD13G funds for completing the program in the Design District and extending it into Little Flaiti Creole District. The three drawings above were produced and pre- sented during the charrette. They were selected among a range ofpreliminary proposals by the same design- ers. They are aimed at representing the symbol. char- acter and specialty of the Design District (design and furniture wholesale and retail). The potential locations of these si.ms were identified and range from highway access, to streets. to pedestian levels through- out the district.

I �, � ! � ��. � � 1 � ,i: Art m The Creole District is defined as the commercial corridor along N.E. 2nd Avenue, between N.E. 54th Street and N.E. 62nd Street. The Creole District is part of Little Haiti, a unique community with a multiple neighborhood structure focused on commercial and cultural activities specifically characterizing its residents. The goal of this MasterPlan is to Provide a model for a neighborhood centercommercial corridor which can enhance the diverse and unique character of Little Haiti as a mixed -use, pedestrian friendly community. As in the Design District, the Creole District has a good foundation for further improvements of the physical environ- ment- The street and block network allows pedestrian and vehicular connectivity; the urban fabric is continuous, with only a few empty lots and a variety of lot sizes and building types; there are numerous structures of history and interesting character to the pedestrian friendly environment In some cases the rights -of -way along the ME 2nd Avenuevaty. There is also need ofachieving more consistent architectural image. The strategic actions to carry out the plan for the Creole District are categorized according to the three main tools of urban enhancement: design, policy and management. The Master Plan design proposes a neighborhood commercial center, amain street with low-rise buildings reflecting the community's historic cultural character. Inconsistencies in the dimensions and existing pavement of N.E. 2nd Avenue right-of-way and varied setbacks require attention to achieve then the full potential as urban center. Specific design and construction projects are suggested to beh undertaken in the short run to reinforcea the plan with an early illustration of its intention. The policy proposals provide rebuilds, an important insurance for investors and prop the regulatory basis for the pian's implementation promoting the physical predictability the place as it builds and erty owners. Design and policy facilitate urban management by structuring the physical environment for security, ease of mainte- nance and long term value. Design policy and management proposals may have different implementors. A second categorization by implementing sector follows. Design Projects Coordinate Avenue infrastructure improvements and prepare specific according to the Plan.

It has with informal parking on poorly defined Swale and parking areas. The right-of-way (ROW) is 70 to 90 feet, depending on the location. The existing configuration has four 10-foot travel lanes, with left turn lanes and right turn slip lanes at the major intersections (NE 541h Street and NE 62" Street). The posted speed limit is 30 mph. • The Proposed reconfiguration would redemarcate the roadway for two 15-foot travel lanes, and a 10-foot continuous tam lane. The 10-foot turn lane would provide for driveway and side street left min access, while also Providing a slip lane to pass stopped buses and jitneys, and cars maneuvering forparallel parking. The turn lane, would also provide 10 feet of saferrefuge for pedestrian crossings than the existing four lanes. Pedestrian crossing would be easier and safer, as pedestrians only need to watch for one lane in one direction at a time. Checking for a gap in 2 directions over4lanes is very difficult, even for highly mobile pedestrians. • Although not included in the County Bicycle Plan, bicycle traffic is inevitable on NE 2nd Avenue. Bicycles were observed on numerous occasions. This segment is the commercial core in a community with a high propensity forusing bicycles and othernon-motorized modes as transportation alternatives, as well as for recreation. The 15-foot travel lanes would be wide enough to accommodate vehicular traffic and bicycles on a shared -use wide curb lane. Although not striped for a bicyclelane, the I5-foot shared use lane provides 11 feet for vehicular traffic, and 4 feet for bicycle traffic. • Level of Service on the roadway will not be significantly degraded by the reconfiguration. Using FDOT LOS Guidelines, the capacity of NE 2' Avenue (a County Collector) would change from 1,048 trips in the peak hour, and peak direction, to 894 trips, a loss of about 15%. The roadway segment is currently operating at LOS C. • Although losing some capacity, there would be an increase in pedestrian and bicycle safety, increased safety for transit operations, and the provision of a more urban train street environment consistent with the redevelopment of the Little Haiti business district corridor. • Corner bulbouts, and some midbiock bulbouts are provided on the corridor to facilitate pedestrian crossings. The bulbout areas also provide space for informal street vendor activity. Bulbout areas are provided with amenities (seating, shade, lighting) to provide safe space for travel lane jitney stops, and safe boarding and debarkation from jitneys. It is difficult to regulate wherejitneys stop, and counter to their demand -responsive service to do so. It is also disruptive to traffic flow, and potentially dangerous for debarking passengers if they cross the street when a vehicle Passes. Formalizing the stops with amenities provides a proactive, market driven approach to locating jitney stops at safe locations to stop, load, and allow debarking passengers to safely cross the NE 2"1 Avenue. • South of 57" Street, where the ROW is 70 feet, parallel parking is provided for in the business district `4 01997 Duany Plater-Zybmk & Company , Little Haiti Central Business District NE Zed Avenue Street Sections, Traffic, and ParkingProposals The Little Haiti Central Business District, athme-block length on both sides oftheCaribbean market, from58a Street to W Street, is the focus of the recommendations. Here, where the ROW is 90 feet, there is currently informal head - in parking -the northbound side (east side). This parking arrangement causes conflictswith vehicles travelinginthe outside, northbound lane. • The proposed configuration formalizes the parking as 45-degree angle parking, without placing backing ma- neuvers into the travel lane. The entire parking area uses 18 feet of the 901-foot ROW cross section. Vehicle projection from the angle spaces is 18 feet, leaving space for a backing(maneuvering aisle of I I feet. Along this section, the travel lane has been narrowed to 11 feet, assuming that bicyclists share the narrower travel lane for this short segment. Signage indicating to drivers and bicyclists the presence of backing vehicles should be posted. The speed limit through this section should be reduced from 30 mph to 20 mph. • The configuration would include: 13-foot sidewalks (without bulbouts) 9-foot parallel parking lane in the southbound direction 15-foot shared -use travel lane in the southbound direction I 1-foot travel lane in the northbound direction 18-foot45-degree angle parking section 11-foot backing and maneuvering section, separated from the travel lane by pavement markings with RPMs. • Bulbouts on the northbound side would extend to the travel lane, less four feet, to allow bicycles to continue through the pavement markings, without merging into the 11-foot travel lane. • Roadway pavers throughout the 3-block sections would be used to alert drivers that this is a commercial activity area, in which to slow down and use greatercaution. • Underground drainage infrastructure must accompany these improvements so that curbing and street drainage is effective, and to assure reinvestment in properties that do not flood.

Several hundred counties and municipalities in the United States now have legislation which provides for works of art in public places, and Federal agencies which fund the construction of public facilities have also established policies for the inclusion of works of art. The Metro -Dade County Art in public Places Ordinance established an allocation for works of art based on 1.5% of the construction cost of new county buildings. The goals of the program are several: to enhance the artistic heritage of Metro -Dade County; to give dimension to the public environment forresidents and visitors; to increase public access to works of art and to promote understanding and awareness of the visual arts. The Art in Public Spaces program has given Metro -Dade County national visibility in the arts, and a leadership role in art in public places. Through the Art in Public Places the County supports the development of a unique and vital civic environment for both residents and visitors. In December 1982, the Metro -Dade County Ordinance was extensively revised, creating in effect a new program. A 15-member Art in Public Places Trust was created to oversee the program and a Master Plan adopted. The Ordinance also established an I -member Professional Advisory Committee of arts professionals to recommend acquisitions to the Trust. Funds from various construction projects are aggregated in Trust fund, and allocated for artwork at public sites. The Trust approves all artwork acquisitions, and oversees the care and maintenance of all the collection and community education programs. In the Past twenty-three years the collection has grown to over 450 art works representing major trends in contempo- rary American art with a range of approaches to creating and siting art at public facilities. Locations include public libraries, hospitals, transit facilities, parks, the Miami International Airport, the Seaport, plazas and other pedestrian Places. The focus of the program is on -site specific art installations, including monumental works such as fountains, sculptures, environmental installations such as airport concourse flooring and interconnectors; and small scale art works in all media by regional and international artists such as Beryl Solla, Elyn Zimmerman, Nam June Paik, Betye 6aar, Purvis Young, Claw OIdenburg, Coosje van Bruggen, and Carlos Alfonso. Che decision to incorporate an Art in Public Places component in the Miami Design District/Little Haiti Creole District wblic charrette is a unique initiative that has no precedent in South Florida. The charrette designers and participants vere able to discuss and integrate both concepts and sites for Art in Public Places at the stage of the general Master Ilan. This process of interaction between architects, urban designers, engineers, artists, and community activists has t aerated an exciting and more diverse than usual collection of images and visions for both Districts. r coordination with Art in Public Places, the charrette organizers selected three teams of artists who have been teviously engaged in the Mean -Dade County program. They were Gary Moore, Lydia Rubio, and Roberto Behar & osario Marquardt All of these proposals were conceived within the limits of the allocated budget of $250,000 hcluding management and other design costs). Effective budget for the art pieces would be approximately $190,000. !though the funding was allocated for exclusive use in the Miami Design District, the charrette organizers and Immunity Participants suggested that the artists make conceptual proposals for other sites in Little Haiti Cole re strict and along the NE 2nd Avenue inter Corridor. Funding for those interventions would have to be gotiated later with Art in Public Spaces and/or other institutions. Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company' - - , ART IN PUI&C pLACESf TIIREE STRATEGIES COORDINATION & REPORT: Jean -Francois I ejenne Miami Design District ARTISTS: Lydia Rubio, Gary Moore, Roberto Behar & Rosario Marquardt The proposals by the three artists for the installation of Art in Public Spaces in the Miami Design District can be summarized as follows: • The team of Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt proposes the construction of a major work of art, or land- mark, whose form, color, and symbolic meaning could be associated with the District at large; the "Family of Pencils" or one of the two other alternatives would be installed in the proposed new plaza Located at the rede- signed southern entrance of the district, at the intersection of NE 36th Stre NE 2nd Avenue, Federal Highway, and I-195. The current art piece in that location is not significant enough to impact the visitor and user of the district. Its access is difficult; its iconic value is lost is the jumble of rail, highways, fences and line poles that encumber the intersection. A stronger piece of art is thus proposed. • Both Lydia Rubio and Gary Moore propose a smaller type of art form, whose repetition and placement at different locations in the District would contribute to a more comprehensive sense of place. Blank walls, flat rooftops, pedestrian passages, and the underside of the I-195 freeway alongside the southern border of the District were identified as primary locations. Little Haiti Creole District In addition to their proposals for the Miami Design District, the three teams of artists developed ideas and projects for the Little Haiti Creole District. Theirproposais, for which funding has notyetbeen identified, include: • The team of Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt proposes the construction of a major work of an, or land- mark, whose fort, color, and symbolic meaning could be associated with Little Haiti Creole District at large; the large "Haitian American green" project would be installed in the middle of the new civic square, located at the redesigned intersection of NE 2nd Avenue and NE 69th Street. • Both Lydia Rubio and Gary Moore propose a smaller type of art form, whose repetition and placement at different locations of Little Haiti Creole District would contribute to a more comprehensive sense of place in the neighbor- hood. Specially designed street lamps, decorated jitneys, and the "Little House of Culture" are described in the followingpages. Moreover, the charrette participants and designers recognized the importance of the current vernacular and locally designed artistic elements that help establish the identity of the public realm in Little Haiti Creole District. The designers suggested that these elements be protected and reinforced through special grant support: Facade Murals Fallowing the popular island tradition Haitians in Miami have developed a unique culture of mural paintings. Some of those are long, Iinear murals; others, generally found on the commercial facades, appear like painted frames around or above the windows representing a variety of figures. NE 2nd Avenue is a particulargoodexample, that the team Behar. & Marquardt called the "Haitian Mural Corridor„ MIAM DESIGN DISTRICT AND LITTLE HAITI CREOLE DMTRICTPLe1NNING STUDY 64 Prepared for the City of Miami - Department of Planning and Development by Many Plater-Zyberk & Company. Architects and Town Planners N ev�l p The chatTette designers and artists propose to encourage this form of local public art in association with public subsidies such as the facade improvement program of the City of Miami. Grant money, currently dispersed and not controlled, quid be targeted to a specific area to give a visual focus and impact to the program, to hire local artists, and provide both art and means of life for local residents. Windowssafetygrills Commercial buildings in Little Haiti are protected by a unique system of decorative iron grills applied in front of the windows, reminding of the "fer forge" grills visible everywhere in Haiti. It provides high security while keeping the display windows visible at all time, an important factor for the quality of the pedestrian and slow -driving experience. A certain level of artistic quality makes the grills pleasant to walk or drive along, yet it would be interesting if more decorative elements were introduced. The charrette designers and artists also propose to encourage this form of local public art by local artists in association with the facade improvement program of the City of Miami. A competition could be encouraged to provide standards grills ofhigher artistic quality. au 974 01"7 Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company- .- MAW DESIGN DISTRICT AND LITr=ffAMC REOLED7SERXCrpLA N]jN(; STUDY 70 Prepared for the City of Miami - Department of planning and Development by Duany plater-Zyberk & Company.

Outlinefor an An in Public Spaces Masterplan Proposal # 1 Lydia Rublo,A,rtist The ideas and concepts described in this Masterplan outline are based on the analysis of the district performed during the charrette and the immediate reactions to its existing urban and architectural characteristics. The design changes proposed during the charrette process and the quoted budget available forpublic art have also been considered. Interaction with Little Haiti community leaders and visits to Little Haiti Creole District greatly influenced the ideas hereby developed and the ways of implementing these ideas through community participation. The present outline and the attached sketches should not be considered a finished proposal. The concepts, ideas, and implementation strategies are likely to be modified following a more detailed study of the specific sites, of the construc- tion costs, and of the possibilities and conditions of implementation by the community, k total of seven sheets and photographs are part of this proposal. They relate to the four following projects of ntervention: Miami Mer< Art Below the Expressways - Gateways Little House of Culture - Petite Maison de In Culture Billboards in Miami. 'rojects 1, 2 and 4 deal primarily with the Design District, while the third one is more specifically targeted for Little laiti Creole District. Miami-Merz This title makes a direct reference to the Dadaists and more specifically to the MERZ-BAU projects by Kurt Schwitters in the 1920-30s. once t: This project consists of a large collage at the urban scale, such as murals incorporating objects, signs, and lighting on selected walls and roofs of the Design District It is suggested to use the nine letters of the words DESIGN and ART across several buildings in the Miami Design District Nine pieces, one for each letter; would be attached to buildings and strategically located to be seen from the expressway and Biscayne Boulevard. The pieces would integrate large areas of flat color with steel cutouts or linear elements, tri-dimensional objects such as silhouetted chairs, sections of representational painted murals, as well as carefully planned natural and artificial lighting effects. 97 Duany Plater-Zybuk & Company', - •. The murals can provide an opportunity for collaboration with local artists and/or students of DASH. Materials - Exterior paint, tiles, steel plates, objects, lighting. See the attached plan locating the suggested buildings - Reference sketches: Miami-Merz; Wall of Buick Building facing Biscayne Boulevard; Location plan in the Design District 2. Art Below the Expressways -Gateways to the Design District Concgpt: This project involves the transformation of the underside of the existing I-195 Expressway structure between 36th and 37th Street to create permanent and pedestrian -friendly passages and gateways. Special effects of large- scale perspectives, as well as other spatial and thematic coordination will be achieved by refinishing major surfaces such as the columns, the beams, and the sloping concrete sides. New landscaping, lighting and paved areas will be incorporated at street level. Materials: Exterior paint, ceramic tiles, steel plates, lighting, trees and plants. Sites: Below I-195 at NE 36th/37th Street, Federal Highway, NE 2nd Avenue, Miami Place, NE Fast Avenue, and North Miami Avenue. Height varies between 14 feet and 20 feet. Width of intervention areas ranges from 65 feet to 200 feet. Reference sketches - Green Hills with cows, at North Miami Avenue Red and Orange Hills, at North Miami Avenue Sea with Ships, below Federal Highway. 3. Little House of Culture - "Petite Maison de la Culture" (Little Haiti Creole District) Concept-, This project consists of a prototype for a small detached structure (8 x 6 x 6 feet) or facade (8 x 6 x 2 feet) to be attached to an exterior wall. This type of shelter is intended to recall the street altar pieces to be found in Little Haiti Creole District and Little Havana. 59_ 974 MAMIDF.SdtGNDLSTRiCrAND L rrLERAMCREOLEDMIUC PLANNJNGSTUDY 72 Prepared for the City of Nami - Department orplanaing and Development by Duany Plater.Zyberk & Company, Architects and Town Planners low The simple "shelter" concept would be decorated, modified, and personalized through the participation of thecommunity and the collaboration of local artists: the outside and inside could be painted; objects and symbols of cultural and historic significance to the community could be also be incorporated. Materials: Masonry structure, wood roof, ironworks. interior and/or exterior paint, selected objects. Site: In the Creole District, preferably a prominent building or park along N. E. 2nd Avenue between 62nd Street and 54th Street Reference sketch: Little House of Culture. d. Billboards in Miami Concept This proposal implies to change the design of billboards in the Design District in order to produce highly graphic and esthetic display surfaces. New proportions, new colors and new format associated with basic forms such as squares, circles, and triangles, are some of the proposed means. The new billboards would become attractive markers for the district and controlled advertising elements. The Design District guidelines could be applied to other billboards in Miami, thus contributing to change the visually disturbing effect ofbillboards in the cityscape. Sites: Next to the expressway on the north and south sides of North Miami Avenue and to the north side of NE First Avenue.

L Street Laarpslsfte Markets Long= The design ofsueet lamps and site markers are uniquely designed amenities that reflect a contemporary image of the sub-tmPics with an emphasis on a hand-crafted aesthetic. The designs change in intensity as they progress from the southern entrances ofthe Design District and become more powerful and ornamental as they move into and throughout the Little Haiti Creole District area. Sue - Sites are located along streets and at intersections of the project area, with a special attention to Biscayne Boulevard, NE Znd Avenue, and North Miami Avenue. Materials Materials will vary, depending on the location: from aluminum and brass in the Design District to wrought iron in the Creole District. 2. Street L ,P PattelslSire Markers n t• The art components for this project are variable. They may consist of paving treatment mosaic wall murals, or street lamps panels. Together they define the pedestrian entrances to interior and exterior courtyards, and other alley -like mid-blockpassages. Site: Mid -block building passages, mid -block outdoor passages, courtyard entrances and exits. MaMa talc- • Stect lamp markers are fabricated in baked enamel. They are twelve feet high, two feet wide, and one foot deep. The markers contain a built-in lighting element along with additional ground lighting. Paving treatments are created in sections of rustic terrazzo and/or concrete unit pavers. The concept for this component implies that the paving designs are created with reference to the activities that occur at desig- nated sites. 6794i Danny Plater-Zybak a Company _ - ARTISTPROPOSAL#Z:Oary Moore • Wall murals will be prefabricated in marble tiles that reflect the quality; and are an example, of the stone materials which may available at shops in the Design District. The murals are simply designed; they am non- figurative' non-representational, and non -political. Their graphic value is intended to stir the creativity, of designers, clients and other visitors to the Design District. In addition, the Masterplan includes other elements that build upon existing cultural habits of both districts. They are mentioned in the following list but are not illustrated. • Jitneys The most effective form of transportation wand around Little Haiti Creole District constitute a form of moving popularart Jitneys in the Caribbean and particularly in Haiti are usually colorful; decoratedobjects whose frequent appearance along the streets truly participate of an urban street life. Jitneys are moving signage that is culturally specific. This is a site where the artists of Little Haiti could have a direct visual art presence. Paintings on the jitneys could be crrfted and change every year. • The Caribbean Marketplace An award -winning reconstruction, the building has become amajorarchitectumi landmark along NE Znd Avenue. unimproved thoroughfare does not permit, in the present conditions of the street, to attract the needed Unfortunately it has not succeeded in developing a strong commercial heart: in particular, its location along an activity that the building type suggests and actually demands. pedestrian The art component here is not aproduct but the creation and implementation of programming that is socially and culturally specific. That is to say through the process ofcreatively expanding on current pedestrian and on -street commercial activities, the intended function of the Marketplace might shift to a more relevant program that would place more emphasis on cultural activities than on commodity. • Bus stop at Biscayne Boulevard under expressway overpass Leaving Miami Beach by public transportation or from the 36th Street causeway, this is another way where one would arrive to enter the Design District. Currently this site is entrenched by the typical residue of a major vehicular urban environment. The concept of the project is a well lit clean space. An artistic lightning treatment (perhaps neon) on the `ceiling' of the space with colorful ground paving, mosaic wall mural, and custom -colored concrete seating. Note: There are strong West African cultural traditions that have impacted the material and visual culture of Haiti. Design emphasis has typically been put on a "colonial," Victorian gingerbread, "touristy" approach to Haitian and Haitian American culture. A contemporary approach to Public Art and urban design in the Little Haiti Creole District might explore the evolution of West African cultural motifs and theirinteraction with European and American culture through traditional and contemporary culture. This would —Clary Moore --contribute to a more sophisticated and authentic style that does not rely on a nostalgic and romantic vision of a immigrant culture.

Architects andTow" ow" Planners I r Proposal # 3 Roberto Behar & Rosario Marquardt Our Art in Public Spaces proposal consists of three interdependent but inter -related elements. They are designed to be implemented overtime by the combination of public and private efforts. These elements consist of. 1. A landmark at the southern entrance of the Miami Design District (three proposals included); 2. A landmark for Little Haiti Creole District; 3. The "Haitian Mural Corridor" along NE 2nd Avenue. L The entrance to the Miami Design District. - The Pencils ',Family, The Miami Doll House, The Yellow Ruler Conceit-. The basic idea of the three alternative proposals for the Miami Design District is the creation of a landmark which, seen as a building in its very urban location or known as a photograph on a postcard, leaves an immediate and vivid impression, immediately understandable as a symbol for the place and its community. The location of the Public Art piece suggests the presence of a gateway, without defining a boundary but rather indicating the passage through, or arrival into the Design District. All three proposals bridge the world of Design and Art, and provide an inspirational model for the large population of youngsters attending school in the neigh- borhood. The three alternatives have been created both to be seen from the highway and as active participants of street life. The Pencil Family, for instance, may also double as a wonderful place to play hide and seek. The Pencil Family, The Miami Doll House, or The Yellow Ruler are thus instrumental in establishing a direct relationship between the people of Dade County and the Design District community. As giant toys they are also monuments to childhood and physical evidence of the fantastic as part of everyday life. Location: The site is at the intersection of NE 2nd Avenue and NE 35th Street, at the southern entrance of the Design District. The Art in Public Places piece takes place in the new square proposed in the Masterplan. Materials: Concrete, concrete blocks and painted stucco. 2. The entrance to Little Haiti Creole District. The "Haitian American Green." nce t The Little Haiti Creole District landmark assumes the form of a "Hailtian American. Green"'Eire geography, and history of the mother country participate in giving form to the monument; which: in turlr becomes an open-air museum. The Green is a meaningful public space, a landmark and a symbol of the community pride and identity. It is an homage to the memories and dreams of the Haitian community in Miami. Location: The site is in the middle of the proposed new triangular plaza proposed in the Masterpl'an on the east side of the intersection of the NE 62nd Street and NE 2nd Avenue. Materials: Concrete, concrete blocks and painted stucco. Water. Ceramic tiles. 3. The "Haitian Mural Corridor" Conc It is suggested to implement guidelines, tax incentives and facades renovation programs to support and promote Haitian mural art along NE 2nd Avenue from one landmark to the other, and along NE 62nd Street from I-95 to NE 2nd Avenue. These "Haitian Mural Corridors" relate one neighborhood to the other and favor the charrette-stated community desire to create a "Creole or Haitian District."

The City of Miami Police Force has been very cooperative; and are actively participating in meetings and have agreed to refocus and increase their resources in Design District. The City of Miami to advise and give ideas on strategic planning A Parking issues • Add parking spaces - Parking facilities hard to find and will become harder.

Spaces currently rented from FDOT - Designers will search for on -street parking and potential garage locations - Parking to become more restrictive as area becomes more successful - Valet parking, good option to consider - Any new parking capacity to be incentive on fast come, first serve basis for rebuilding • City will convene meeting to formulate parking alternatives. Art Noriega is the key staff from Miami Parking Systems Regulatory issues • .Design District should be zoned multiple -use, instead of just retail • A main asset of Design District is ability to do light manufacturing; currently zoned as special district: SD-8: light industrial • Trade zone possible use for Design District (designation free zone for import /export).

Merchants should consider setting up an asso ciation to oversee such matters • Merchants in Little Haiti have had no venues to voice their commercial concerns, however a Chamber of Commerce has recently formed, in addition to the Little Haiti Sub -Council (Fred Santamar identified as contact for the Little Haiti Sub -Council.) • Design District needs an organized group to assist in identifying funding sources for implementation. Next round for submittals for city dollars by CDBG's is Nov. 97. Community should take initiative for organization and application of community development grants • Invite successful local models of community groups to come speak at meetings to explain how they got started. Examples include: Lincoln Road Task -Force (partially funded by City of Miami Beach) and Miami Beach Development Corporation (CDBG funded organization) which is headed by Dennis Russ • Merchants have two options: -Form a Merchants Association - Form a CDC: are competitively sought across the county • Successful revival and enhancement projects traditionally rely more on private Sands and are Iess depen dent on public investments. Individual private investment must meet common goal of area. Get as much participation as possible • Physical predictability critical to success.

Crime more prevalent in Little Haiti. however police reacting and will provide more manpower in area Little Haiti has active crime watch (60 volunteers) and perception of crime is gradually changing Enforcement issues • City is demolishing vacant, boarded up buildings at a rate of one per week. Need recommendations to make abandoned buildings city properties, but no mechanisms in place for cleaning and marketing them effectively • Code enforcement currently long, drawn out process.
