DATE: February 12, 1998 FILE
SUBJECT: public Hearing for
Downtown DRI Amendment
REFERENCES: City Commission Meeting
ENCLOSURES: of February 24, 1998
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission approve the attached request to
amend the Master and Increment I Development Orders of the Downtown Development
of Regional Impact (DRI), with the conditions specified herein, in order to
simultaneously increase and decrease the development credits in certain land use
categories; the proposed change is necessary in order to approve the New American
Airlines Arena proposed at approximately 601 Biscayne Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
At the City Commission Meeting of February 10, 1998, this item was continued for
additional information. The requested information is in the attached report.
JGP• lys
98- 219
REPORT TO CITY COMMISSION
REGARDING AMENDMENT TO DOWNTOWN DRI
This report has been prepared in response to concerns raised by the City Commission at
its meeting of February 10, 1998.
1. Differences between Major Use Special Permit (MUSP) and DRI:
The MUSP is a City of Miami Zoning Ordinance requirement in order to
allow the Arena on the subject property.
The City Commission is responsible for final approval of a MUSP and
Development Order. It is completely within the discretion of the City
Commission to attach reasonable conditions and safeguards to any MUSP
and its accompanying Development Order.
For purposes of the American Airlines Arena, the MUSP is the appropriate
instrument to which the City Commission should attach specific
conditions that Basketball Properties Inc. will be held responsible for. The
applicant for the DRI Amendment (described below) is the Downtown
Development Authority.
M'I
The Downtown DRI.is an instrument which was adopted in 1987 in order
to expedite development within Downtown Miami by setting up a bank of
credits in different land use categories from which developers can draw for
new development activity.
A MUSP does not typically need an accompanying DRI Amendment in
order to build. The American Airlines Arena Project, however, due to the
number of attraction seats required, did need such an amendment. Since
the original applicant (and responsible entity) for Miami's areawide DRI
was the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), they must also be the
applicant for any amendments proposed to said DRI.
The DRI amendment required for the Arena is solely for the purpose of
exchanging land use credits in order to increase the number of attraction
seats in the DRI while simultaneously decreasing the corresponding
amount of office credits. Any proposed increase requires an equivalent
decrease; for the purposes of this application, the deduction was made _
from the office category due to the tremendous amount of surplus credits
in said category.
9 8,- 219 lb
The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) was specifically concerned
(as was the City) that a "Traffic Management Plan" be prepared and
submitted for review and approval prior to commencement of activities at
the Arena.
The modified language in the conditions imposed in the DRI
Amendment has been agreed to by DDA, DCA, the City of Miami
Department of Planning and Development and the Arena operators.
2. Conditions for approval.
As stated above, the language of the modified conditions imposed on this
DRI Amendment were very specifically worded to respond to concerns
raised by DCA. These conditions, as worded, have been agreed to by
DDA, DCA, the City of Miami Department of Planning and Development
and the Arena operators.
3. Costs incurred; fees paid to date.
The following is a breakdown of all fees paid to date; these fees cover all
administrative and out-of-pocket costs incurred by the City to date:
a)
Major Use Special Permit Fee
$45,000
b)
Plans review fee for MUSP
$ 2,000
c)
Surcharge for advertising
$ 1,150
d)
Mailing notice fee
$ 147
e)
DRI Amendment
$ 5,000*
f)
Surcharge for advertising
$ 1,150
g)
Replatting fee
$ 300
$54,747
* Missing $1,000 requested by letter to Judith A. Burke, Esquire, dated
February 9, 1998.
* Note: this does not include lobbyist registration fees paid to date.
I 98- 219
4. Future costs expected to be incurred; fees due.
Upon completion of the MUSP and DRI process, the Arena project will be
submitting plans for building permits. In order to obtain permits, all
Impact and DRI fees must be paid.
The total estimated fees due to the City of Miami are approximately
$1 million dollars. These fees cover all costs to be incurred by the City of
Miami for review and approval of all necessary building permits
(including inspections). The required impact fees will be utilized by the
City for projects specified in the Capital Improvement Program for this
Planning District.
The City of Miami does not have a "Transportation Department" which is
responsible for transportation improvements required on Biscayne
Boulevard and I-395; these roads are federal roads under the jurisdiction
of the State of Florida; all planned roadway improvements are being
coordinated through the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and
done by FDOT; funds used for all improvements come from Federal and
State sources - NO City funds are involved.
The City of Miami, in conjunction with an intergovernmental committee
established by DDA, has been meeting, and will continue to meet
throughout the development of all of the major projects planned for
Downtown Miami to assist FDOT in prioritizing planned roadway
improvements.
5. Traffic Management Plan.
As conditioned in both the MUSP and the proposed DRI Amendment,
Basketball Properties Inc. is responsible for submitting to the City of
Miami a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan for review and approval
by the City Commission prior to the issuance of any type of Certificate of
Occupancy for the Arena.
The Administration will be setting up a review committee which will meet
regularly to coordinate the development and review of the Arena's Traffic
Management Plan. The parameters of said plan are outlined in the
Development Order for the Arena.
,� 98- 219 13
6. Independent Traffic Study.
In order for the City of Miami to produce an independent traffic study, a
consultant would have to be hired; the City of Miami does not have
sufficient in-house staff with the expertise required to conduct such a
study. The approximate cost of such a study can range anywhere from
$30,000 to $50,000. This particular effort for the proposed DRI
amendment herein, would not be reasonable since the original
Transportation Element of the Downtown DRI was prepared by the same
consultant (David Plummer) as the study upon which this amendment is
based. Staff review of the study which was completed and submitted thus
far has concluded that the findings are acceptable; furthermore, as stated
previously herein, and addressed through conditions, the only major
component still missing is the "Traffic Management Plan".
7. Independent Study of surrounding area.
In response to the specific concerns by Vice -Chairman Teele at the City
Commission Meeting of February 10, 1998, the DDA, the Miami Heat and
the City's Department of Planning and Development are in a position to
proffer the following:
An independent consultant, to be hired by the DDA and answerable only
to the DDA, will be hired through an inter -local agreement to conduct a
study of the area surrounding the Arena. The study should specifically
focus on issues related to Capital Improvement needs required for linking
the areas surrounding the Arena (including lighting, street and sidewalk
improvements), design guides and standards for new private development
in those areas and potential zoning incentives to attract pedestrian scale
development with appropriate uses that could benefit by adjacency to the
new Arena.
The consultant services and study will be paid for by the Miami Heat, as
proffered, and supplemented by City staff assistance as necessary.

RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission approve the attached request to
amend the Master and Increment I Development Orders of the Downtown Development
of Regional Impact (DRI) in order to simultaneously increase and decrease the
development credits in certain land use categories; the proposed change is necessary in
order to approve the New American Airlines Arena proposed at approximately 601
Biscayne Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
The Downtown DRI Amendment was on the City Commission Agenda of January 27,
1998, however due to a statutory requirement in the Florida Statutes, the City
Commission adoption of this amendment requires a 15 day notice in the newspaper, not
10 days which is our local requirement. For that reason, this item is now properly before
this City Commission for adoption.
At the Planning Advisory Board Meeting of January 14, 1998, the Department of
Planning and Development recommended approval of the proposed amendment, with
conditions (see attached), in response to several concerns raised by the Department of
Community Affairs; this recommendation was based on findings that the proposed
amendment does not constitute a substantial deviation per Chapter 380, Florida Statutes
and that it is consistent with the Miami Comprehensive Plan 1989-2000.
Your approval is being requested in order to decrease the development credits in the
"Office" land use category from 6,677,277 square feet to 6,595,406 square feet (a
reduction of 81,871 square feet) and to simultaneously increase the development credits
in the "Attractions/Recreation" category from 6,500 seats to 30,500 seats (an increase of
24,000 seats).

Amendment to Master and Increment I Development Orders of the Downtown Miami
Development of Regional Impact (DRI) .
The proposed amendment to the Master and Increment I Development Orders of the
Downtown Miami Development of Regional Impact (DRI) is in order to allow for the
modification of development credits in certain land use categories by providing for a
simultaneous increase and decrease accordingly.
The requested change would specifically reduce the Office credits (square footage) by
81,871 square feet (from 6,677,277 sq.ft. to 6,595,406 sq.ft.) in order to increase the
Attraction/Recreation seats by 24;000 seats (from 6,500 seats to 30,500 seats). This
change is being sought specifically to accommodate the new proposed American Airlines
Arena on the F.E.C. Tract within Downtown Miami.
Please see that attached "Notification of a Proposed Change to a Previously Approved
Development of Regional Impact (DRI)" for additional information and the methodology
used to determine the modifications to the land use and development tables and the
exchange rates.
The Department of Planning and Development is recommending approval of the
proposed amendment to the Master and Increment I Development Orders of the
Downtown Miami Development of Regional Impact (DRI) finding that the proposed
changes do not constitute a substantial deviation per Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, and
that said proposal is consistent with the Downtown Miami Master Plan and the Goals,
' Objectives and Policies of the City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-

EXHIBIT "A"
Explanation of Addition and Decrease of Land Use
The Increment I development order (Res.487-1149), page 3, allows the City to simultaneously
increase and decrease certain land uses, "provided that the regional impacts of the land uses as
changed will not exceed the adverse regional impacts of the land uses in Increment I of the project
as originally approved, as measured by total peak hour vehicle trips".
The land use exchange for office use as established in Increment I to allow the simultaneous
increase and decrease in land use, and shown on Table 1 attached, is 0.0005985 trips per square
foot. By dividing the 49 p.m. peak hour trips associated with the 24,000 additional seats needed
for the Arena by the office trips per square foot, it is found that the office land use category must
be reduced by 81,871 square feet to allow the American Airlines Arena, ( 49 p.m. peak hour
trips/0.0005985 trips per gross square foot of office equals 81,871 square feet of office use). In
other words, to accommodate the 49 p.m. peak hour trips in the recreation/seats land use category,
an equivalent reduction of 49 p.m. peak hour trips would be achieved by deducting 81,871 gross
square feet from the office use category; thus a total of 6,595,406 gross square feet of office use is
proposed.
The American Airlines Arena events occur outside of the p.m. peak hour. The only additional
trips generated by the project during peak hour are incidental to certain accessory uses. Those
accessory uses include the approximate 40,000 square feet of retail space at the project. 10,000
square feet of that space is located inside the ticket secure area and 30,000 is located adjacent to
the arena bowl. In addition, there will be approximately 37,500 square feet of office space
located at the project. 7,500 square feet of that office space will be utilized for the arena
management offices and 30,000 square feet will be used for the Heat and other franchise offices.
There is more than sufficient capacity under Increment I for both of these uses. 1,006,817 square
feet of retail space has been approved and is available. The 40,000 square feet of retail
contemplated for this project can easily be deducted from that amount. 6,595,406 square feet
of office space is still available under Increment I, even after this amendment. The 37,500 square
feet of office space included in this project can clearly be deducted from that amount.
Although it is clear that the regional impacts of the land uses as changed by this amendment will
not exceed the adverse regional impacts of the land uses in Increment I, the applicant has
undertaken a traffic study in order to overcome any presumption that this amendment
constitutes a substantial deviation. The traffic study is entitled "Maritime Park Arena Traffic
Analysis" and is attached as Exhibit "A-1". Although not required to do so under the provisions
of the Downtown DRI, the Traffic Analysis studies all adjacent intersections to ensure that the
level of service is satisfactory. The analysis also addresses all mitigation required for those
adjacent intersections. The data provided in the Traffic Analysis clearly demonstrates that this
amendment does not constitute a substantial deviation.
9g- 20 :37
In addition to the Maritime Park Arena Traffic Analysis, the applicant is submitting an outline
of the proposed Transportation Management Plan, attached as Exhibit "A-2", as well as an
outline of the development strategies which promote linkages between the project and the
Downtown/Southeast Overtown Park West Community, attached as Exhibit "A-3".

Pursuant to F.S. 380.06(22) (1987), the Project specifies the total amount of development planned
for each land use categt but provides flexibility for such de ipment to be located anywhere
within the Project Area, subject to local land development regulations. The Project Area includes
all property within the boundaries of the Downtown Development Authority, with the exception of
that area between NE/NW 5th Street and I-395 known as "Park West", as illustrated on the map

the adverse regional impacts of the land uses in Increment I of the Project as originally
approved, as measured by total peak hour vehicle trips.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
The following findings of fact are hereby confirmed and adopted with respect to the
Project:
5
98- 219 57
A. The findings and determinations of fact set forth in the recitals of the resolution to
this Development Order are hereby confirmed.
B. The real property which is the subject of this Development Order is legally described
in Exhibit 2.
C. The DDA riled the ADA with the City, the Council, and the Florida Department of
Community Affairs.
D. The CADA has been filed by the DDA pursuant to F.S. 380.06(22) (1987) authorizing
a downtown development authority to apply for development approval and receive a
development order for any or all of the area within its jurisdiction. Individual
developments are not identified or required to be identified in the CADA.
E. The purpose of the CADA is to identify and assess probable regional impacts and to
obtain approval for Total Allowable Development in accordance with the general
guidelines set forth in this Development Order and the CADA. The concept is to
recognize the Project Area as a single area of high intensity development and to focus
the DRI review process primarily on the impacts that Total Allowable Development
within the area will have on land, water, transportation, environmental, community
services, energy and other resources and systems of regional significance. The
CADA seeks a single DRI review process for overall phased development of the
downtown area rather than requiring each individual DRI scale development within
the downtown area to file for separate DRI reviews.
F. Development within the Project Area is expected to continue to be accomplished over
an extended period of time by a variety of developers, which may include the City.
These developers may respond to market demand and technologies that can only be
estimated in the CADA. The CADA is intended to serve as a flexible guide to
planned development of the Project Area rather than a precise blueprint for its
development. Therefore, pursuant to F.S. 380.06(21)(b) (1987), the CADA seeks
master development approval for three increments of development over a period of
approximately twenty years and specific development approval for Increment I,
which is the first phase of development projected for a period of approximately five
6

years. Subsequent incremental applications may need to be adjusted to more nearly
serve as a living guide recognizing the evolution of market demand and technologies.
The Project Area contains a total of approximately 839 acres, including
approximately 78 acres presently zoned and developed as City parks. The CADA
proposes Net New Development within the Project Area for the land uses, quantities
and phases defined herein as Total Allowable Development.
The Project is not located in an area of critical state concern as designated pursuant
to F.S. 390 (1987).
A comprehensive review of the probable impacts that will be generated by Increment
I of the Project has been conducted by various City departments, as reflected in the
CADA, and the South Florida Regional Planning Council staff.
This Development Order is consistent with the report and recommendations of the
South Florida Regional Planning Council, entitled "Development of Regional Impact
Assessment for Downtown Miami - Increment I," dated October 5, 1987. The South
Florida Regional Planning Council recommends approval of Increment I of the
Project, and all conditions to which such approval is subject are reflected herein.
Increment I of the Project is consistent with the applicable portion of the State land
development plan and the Regional Plan for South Florida.
Increment I of the Project is in conformity with the adopted Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan.
Increment I of the Project is in accord with the district zoning classifications of
Zoning Ordinance 9500, as amended.
Increment I of the Project will have a favorable impact on the economy of the City.
Increment I of the Project will efficiently use public transportation facilities.
Increment I of the Project will favorably affect the need for people to find adequate
housing reasonably accessible to their places of employment.
Increment I of the Project will efficiently use necessary public facilities.
Increment I of the Project will include adequate mitigative measures to assure that it
will not adversely effect the environment and natural resources of the City.
F
219 59
S. Increment I of the Project will not adversely affect living conditions in the City.
T. Increment I of the Project will not adversely affect public safety.
U. There is a public need for Increment I of the Project.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
That, having made the findings of fact contained above, the City Commission hereby
concludes as a matter of law, the following:
A. The DDA constitutes a "downtown development authority" as defined in F.S. 380
(1987), and is authorized by F.S. 380 (1987) to make application for development
approval and receive a development order.
B. Increment I of the Project complies with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood
Plan, is consistent with the orderly development and goals of the City of Miami, and
complies with local land development regulations.
C. Increment I of the Project does not unreasonably interfere with the achievement of
the objectives of the adopted State land development plan applicable to the City of
Miami and the Regional Plan for South Florida
D. Increment I of the Project is consistent with the report and recommendations of the
South Florida Regional Planning Council and does not unreasonably interfere with
any of the considerations and objectives set forth in F.S. 380 (1987).
ACTION TAKEN:
That, having made the findings of fact and reached the conclusions of law set forth
above, it is ordered that Increment I of the Project is hereby approved, subject to the
following conditions:
THE CITY, ITS SUCCESSORS, AND/OR ASSIGNS JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY MAY
ISSUE BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY FOR TOTAL
ALLOWABLE DEVELOPMENT, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
THIS DEVELOPMENT ORDER TOGETHER WITH THE ATTENDANT MASTER
DEVELOPMENT ORDER AND SHALL:

98- 219
l9
1.
2.
3.
Require all development pursuant to this Development Order to be in accordance
with applicable building codes, land development regulations, ordinances and other
laws.
For the purpose of base -line data collection, conduct air quality monitoring for
carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations based on the following requirements:
a. CO monitoring data shall be provided for each of the three (3) sub -areas as
described in the CADA Brickell, the Central Business District and Omni.
b. The monitoring shall consist of four (4) weeks of data collection during the
winter months, November 15th through March 15th, for each sub -area.
C. The monitoring for each sub -area shall be completed prior to the issuance of
any certificate of occupancy within that sub -area for the first development
under this Development Order which meets 100 percent of the presumptive
threshold for Developments of Regional Impact pursuant to Rule 27F, F.A.C.,
within that sub -area; or prior to March 15, 1997, whichever comes first.
d. The monitor will be located at the presumed worst case intersection for the
Brickell and Omni sub -areas. The location will be selected jointly by the City,
Florida Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM), and
Council staff. It has been agreed by these agencies that the existing monitor
located in the Central Business District will be acceptable for that sub -area.
e. Perform the monitoring required by 2a. and 2b. above as prescribed by the
policies and regulations governing DERM and submit final air quality
monitoring reports to FDER, DERM, and the Council staff within 60 days of
the completion of the monitoring.
Conduct air quality modeling of carbon monoxide impacts to determine what, if any,
changes are needed in air quality monitoring, including the need to continue
monitoring. The modeling shall be completed within one year after the base -line
data monitoring has been completed pursuant to paragraph 2 above and the
intersections have been selected pursuant to 2a. below. The air quality modeling
shall follow FDER guidelines and shall:
0
98 219
a. Be limited to no more than ten (10) intersections to be selected from among
the intersections projected in the DADA to operate at level of service E or F.
The intersections shall be selected jointly by FDER, DERM, the Council staff,
and the City.
b. Be submitted in a detailed and comprehensive air quality analysis to FDER
and DERM for comment and review, and to the Council staff and the City for
review and approval.
C. Include proposed changes to air quality monitoring as justified by the air
quality modeling analysis.
4. If the results of the air quality modeling study, as described in paragraph 3 above,
S.
are more than 85 percent but less than 100 percent of the State standards for CO
concentrations, implement an air quality monitoring and abatement program
following approval of the report pursuant to 3b above. The monitoring and
abatement program, including a time frame for implementation, must be approved
by the Council staff and the City subsequent to review and comment by FDER and
DERM. The program may include, but is not limited to, the following techniques:
a. Transportation Control Measures (TCM).
b. Physical planning measures (e.g. signalization, parking area locations,
addition of turn lanes, etc.).
C. The continuance of monitoring for specified sub -areas.
If the results of the air quality modeling study, as described in Condition 3 above,
exceed State standards for CO concentrations, do one of the following:
a. Provide acceptable documentation which clearly indicates that CO
exceedences will not occur, or that the Net New Development seeking
approval will not contribute to the predicted CO violation, or that any
potential CO additions for each Net New Development have been or will be
mitigated (according to Council staff and the City subsequent to review and
comment by FDER and DERM) prior to issuance of building permits for the
particular Net New Development. Such documentation may include a
10
98- 219
6.
modeling study which incorporates measures such as those contained in
Condition 4a., b., and c., above. This documentation must be approved by
the Council stab and the City subsequent to review and comment by FDER
and DERM.
b. Withhold the issuance of any building permits for Net New Development
within the sub -area that shows CO exceedences.
Based upon the transportation impacts generated by Total Allowable Development
for Increment I, pay or contract to pay $7,543,419 (fair share in 1987 dollars), to be
expended on any or all of the following transportation improvements:
a. SW 2nd Avenue bridge and approaches or the Brickell Avenue bridge and
approaches,
b. intersection improvements to the entrance and exit ramps to I-395 at NE 1st
Avenue and NE 2nd Avenue,
C. other transportation improvements if mutually agreed upon by the City and
Council staff, subsequent to review and comment by Dade County and the
Florida Department of Transportation.
The City shall pay or contract to pay the fair share within 60 days following notice that the
subject improvement has been let to contract for construction. In the event the City _
contracts to pay the fair share, such contract shall in no way affect the construction
schedule of the subject transportation improvement. If the improvements above have not
been let to contract for construction before the earlier date of a. or b. specified below.
a. ten years after the effective date of the Development Order, or
b. the date of issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for more than 80 percent of
the Total Allowable Development,
then Council staff, the City, Dade County, and the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) will jointly decide the reallocation of $7,543,419 (fair share in 1987 dollars) within
90 days of the earlier date of either a. or b. specified above.
7. Withhold the issuance of building permits for Net New Development if the City has
been determined to be in noncompliance with paragraph 6 above.
11
Y 98- 219 C(�
S. Make efforts to work closely with applicable governmental agencies to ensure that
the Metromover Stage II herein be completed as identified in the current
Metropolitan Planning Organization's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
published in June, 1987. In the event that by December 31, 1992, the Metromover
Stage II improvements are not substantially under construction, as determined by
Council staff, then this situation will be considered a substantial deviation from the
mitigative efforts anticipated to offset the adverse impacts of Total Allowable
Development. In this event, the Applicant shall be required to undergo additional
Development of Regional Impact review for transportation impacts pursuant to F.S.
380.06(19)(a)(g) and (h), (1986). Such additional Development of Regional Impact
review, if required shall be initiated by March 31, 1993. Net New Developments
which have obtained building permits prior to December 31, 1992 shall not be
affected by any subsequent review.
9. Within 6 months of the effective date of this Development Order, prepare and
recommend to the Miami City Commission a Transportation Control Measure
(TCM) Ordinance, which shall require Net New Development to do the following:
a. actively encourage and promote car and van pooling by establishing or
participating in a car pool information program, and
b. provide mass transit route and schedule information in convenient locations
throughout the individual development, and
C. encourage mass transit use by the provision of bus shelters, bus turnout lanes,
or other amenities to increase transit ridership.
In addition, the TCM Ordinance shall include other appropriate transportation
control measures to be selected from but not be limited to the list entitled "Table 4.9
- Potential Transportation Control Measures (TCM's) for Downtown Miami" on
page 4-22(R) of the CADA. The TCM ordinance must be approved by Council with
input from the Florida - Department of Community Affairs and the Florida
Department of Transportation.
10. In the event that a Transportation Control Measures (TCM) Ordinance substantially
12
(,, 98- 219
in accord with paragraph 9 above is not adopted by the Miami City Commission
within 18 months of the effective date of this Development Order, determine that this
situation constitutes a substantial deviation from the mitigative efforts anticipated to
offset the adverse impacts of Total Allowable Development. In this event, the
Applicant shall be required to undergo additional Development of Regional Impact
review pursuant to F.S. 380.06(19)(a)(g) and (h) (1986). Such additional
Development of Regional Impact review, if required, shall be initiated by the
Applicant within 90 days of the identification of its need.
11. Have the authority to assess development for its proportionate share of the costs of
improvements and/or services necessary to monitor and/or mitigate any adverse
impacts. The City shall also have authority to assess development its proportionate
share of the costs attributable to preparation of the master plan, the Application for
Development Approval, and this Development Order, as well as the future costs of
reviewing individual development applications, monitoring compliance with this
Development Order, and any other costs reasonably related to the administration
and implementation of this Development Order. If necessary, the City shall establish
a procedure for rebating any funds collected in excess of those funds attributable to a
particular development and necessary to implement this Development Order or any
ordinance or procedure required to monitor and enforce compliance with this
Development Order and to mitigate the impacts of Total Allowable Development.
12. Establish December 30, 1999 as the date until which the City agrees that the grantees
of building permits or Major Use Special Permits for new development, under the
Downtown Miami - Increment I Development of Regional Impact shall not be
subject to down -zoning, unit density reduction, or intensity reduction to the extent of
the amount of development included within the building permit or Major Use
Special Permit, unless the City can demonstrate that substantial changes in the
conditions underlying the approval of the development order have occurred, or that
the development order was based on substantially inaccurate information provided
by the Applicant, or that the change is clearly essential to the public health, safety or
13
219
welfare.
MONITORING, REPORTING, AND ENFORCEMENT:
13. The City shall monitor the capacity of Total Allowable Development by reserving the
amount of Development Credits necessary for Net New Development at a time, to be
determined by the City, prior to or coincident with approval of a building permit or
Major Use Special Permit. The City shall place reasonable time limits on all building
permits and Major Use Special Permits to assure that construction progresses within
a reasonable period of time after approval to prevent stockpiling of reservations for
Development Credits. The time period established by the City shall take into account
the size of the proposed Net New Development in relationship to the time necessary
to begin construction.
14. Upon the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any Net New Development, the
City shall make appropriate subtractions from the amount of Total Allowable
Development under this Development Order. No Certificates of Occupancy shall be
issued for Net New Development which would, in the aggregate, exceed the amount
of Total Allowable Development under this Development Order.
15. The City shall integrate all original and supplemental ADA information into a
Consolidated Application for Development Approval (CADA) and submit two copies
of the CADA to the Council, one copy to the City Clerk, and one copy to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this
Development Order. The CADA shall be prepared as follows:
a. Where new, clarified, or revised information was prepared subsequent to
submittal of the ADA but prior to issuance of this Development Order,
whether in response to a formal statement of information needed or
otherwise, the original pages of the ADA will be replaced with revised pages.
b. Revised pages will have a "Page Number (R) - Date" notation, with "Page
Number" being the number of the original page, "(R)" indicating that the
page was revised, and "Date" stating the date of the revision.

the Council, City, and Applicant, its successors, and/or assigns.
17. All terms, proposals, suggestions and procedures proposed in the Application for
Development Approval, but not specifically incorporated in this Development Order,
shall not be considered a part of the Consolidated Application for Development
Approval insofar as they may have been deemed to place a requirement on the City
of Miami to take any action or abstain from taking any action. The terms of this
Development Order shall control and any requirements of the City are specifically
enumerated herein.
18. The City shall prepare an annual report and submit copies to the Council, the City
Clerk and Florida Department of Community Affairs on or before each anniversary
date of this Development Order. The annual report for Downtown Miami -
Increment I must also be incorporated into the annual report required in the
Downtown Miami Master Development Order so that a single annual report is
compiled for the entire Project. The annual report shall include, at a minimum:

permit any property owner within the boundaries covered by this Development
Order to violate any of the provisions of this Development Order. In the event any
entity controlled by the Applicant and/or the City or any permittee or landowner of
any Parcel of Land violates (hereinafter "violator") the provisions of this
Development Order, the City shall stay the effectiveness of this Development Order
as to the Parcel of Land in which the violative activity or conduct has occurred and
withhold further permits, approvals, and services for development in said Parcel of
Land upon passage of any appropriate resolution by the City, adopted in accordance
with this section, finding that such violation has occurred. The violator will be given
written notice by the City that states: 1) the nature of the purported violation, and 2)
that unless the violation is cured within 30 days of said notice, the City will hold a
public hearing to consider the matter within 60 days of the date of said notice. In the
event the violation is not curable in 30 days, the violator's diligent good faith efforts,
as determined by the City, to cure the violation within that period will obviate the
need to hold a public hearing and this Development Order will remain in full force
and effect unless the violator does not diligently pursue the curative action to
completion within a reasonable time, in which event the City will give 15 days notice
to the violator of its intention to stay the effectiveness of this Development Order and
withhold further permits, approvals, and services to the Parcel of Land in which the
violation has occurred and until the violation is cured. The terms of this paragraph
may be modified from time to time by written agreement by the DDA, the City, and
Council staff, to enable the City to enforce the terms of this Development Order to
the fullest extent, while providing due process to all developers under this

23. The Planning Director, City of Miami Planning Department, is hereby designated to
monitor compliance with all conditions of this Development Order and shall have the
17
'1A 98- 219 ��
duty and authority to interpret the provisions of this Development Order and to
promulgate rulings, regulations and procedures necessary to implement it, provided
the same are not inconsistent with the terms hereof or of F.S. 380 (1987), or duly
promulgated and adopted rules thereunder. Appeals to decisions of the Planning
Director may be filed pursuant to procedures set forth in Article 30 of Ordinance
9500, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended. Any
noncompliance shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph 22 herein.
24. The South Florida Regional Planning Council report and recommendations, entitled
"Development of Regional Impact Assessment for Downtown Miami - Increment I",
dated October 5, 1987, is incorporated herein by reference.
25. Within 30 days of the effective date of this Development Order, it shall be recorded
with the Clerk, Dade County Circuit Court, pursuant to F.S. 380.06(15)(1987),
specifying that the Development Order runs with the land and is binding on the
Applicant, its successors, and/or assigns, jointly or severally.
26. The existence of this Development Order shall not act to limit or proscribe the rights
of any person under F.S. 380(1987) to file an Application for Development Approval
and obtain an individual development order for property covered by this
Development Order, not withstanding the existence of this Development Order. In _
the event that such an individual development order is approved and becomes
effective, the individual development order shall control development of the property
covered by the individual development order and the terms and conditions of this
Development Order shall no longer be binding upon the property. Any such
individual development orders shall, by their terms be consistent with the objectives
and conditions of this Development Order.
27. This Development Order shall not repeal, nor amend in any way, any other currently
effective development order or building permit within the subject area previously
issued by the City Commission pursuant to F.S. 380 (1997). This Development
Order shall not create nor authorize the creation or imposition of any additional
requirements or restrictions, with respect to any present or future development

under any currently effective Development Order or building permit issued prior
hereto. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the City shall continue to have whatever
authority pursuant to law it may now have or may acquire in the future (other than
by virtue of this Development Order).
28. This Development Order shall not create nor impose any additional requirements or
restrictions upon the City with respect to its powers to enact impact fee or
assessment ordinances on development, including Net New Development under this
Development Order and future development of the City, as such impact fees or
assessments may be authorized by law.
29. In the event that a substantial deviation is determined under the terms of this
Development Order or F.S. 380(1987), the City shall retain its ability to issue
building permits and Major Use Special Permits and shall continue to do so
unabated, subject to the terms and conditions of this Development Order.
30. In the event that this Development Order is subject to litigation wherein an
injunction is issued staying the enforcement of this Development Order, the City
shall either, under this Development Order or under the powers granted it by state
law, be permitted to continue to issue building permits, Major Use Special Permits
and Certificates of Occupancy until such time as a final resolution of the litigation ,
occurs.
31. In the event that the City enters into an interlocal agreement with Dade County to
develop Bicentennial Park -and the F.E.C. Tract as a marine Facility, the City will
require that, in the event marine Facility operation changes from the schedule
identified in Attachment D of the Notification of a Proposed Change (dated
September 7, 1994) and increased impacts to weekday p.m. peak hour traffic are
projected to occur, the City will simultaneously increase Marine Facility use and
decrease other approved use(s) so that the regional impacts of the land uses as
changed will not exceed the adverse regional impacts of the land uses in Increment I
of the Project as originally approved, as measured by total peak hour vehicle trips.
The Florida Department of Community Affairs will review and approve such

EXECUTIVE SUMMA
The proposed Maritime Park Arena is a major multi -use entertainment facility to be located on the "FEC"
site abutting Biscayne Bay in Downtown Miami, Florida. The proposed development consists of a
24,000 seat arena, 37,500 square feet of office use and 40,000 square feet of retail use. Potentially, all
of the retail will be open to the general public on a daily basis. The site will contain approximately 1,200
parking spaces in the lower levels of the Arena. Access to the project garage will be provided through
Port Boulevard and the extension of NE 8 Street east of Biscayne Boulevard. The proposed arena is
anticipated to begin operations for the 1999-2000 NBA Basketball season. For purposes of this study,
future traffic conditions will depict 1999 conditions.
In the early 1980's, the City of Miami prepared an areawide Application for Development Approval
(ADA) that would give the City jurisdiction over the approval of any development within the downtown
area. The document is referred as the Downtown Miami Areawide DR1. The Development Order (DO)
issued allowed the City to approve both local and regional size projects. Approvals for the Maritime Park
Arena are being sought under the Downtown Miami Areawide DRI.
An assessment of the pm peak hour traffic associated with the Maritime Park Arena has been performed
and is set forth herein. Adequate roadway capacity during the pm peak hour is available to accommodate
the proposed project trips. Analysis of future (1999) traffic conditions with the project during pm peak
hours shows that, except for the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard/NE 8 Street, the Downtown Miami
Areawide DRI's adopted Level of Service E standard will not be exceeded. With the existing intersection
configuration (unsignalized), it is anticipated that delays will be experienced for the minor street (NE 8
Street). It is recommended that the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard/NE 8 Street be signalized to
improve operations for existing and future conditions. However, the approval process established by
Florida's Department of Transportation for a new signal requires that the signal meet the warrants
described in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Studies (MUTCD). A signal warrant study will be prepared
as part of the permitting phase of the project.

In addition to the requh .,ents set forth by the Downtown Miat, Areawide DRI, a Transportation
Management Plan is presented as part of the traffic study as Exhibit A-2. This is intended as an outline
listing potential alternatives/strategies that may be considered in the ultimate plan in order to ensure a
safe and efficient means of accommodating the traffic generated during special events.
As requested by various agencies, the traffic study also contains a section on the development of
strategies which promote linkages between the project and the Downtown/Southeast Overtown Park
West Community (See Exhibit A-3). This section explores pedestrian linkages, as well as other modes
such as transit, shuttles and water taxis.

1.0 INTRODUCTI(
1.1 Project Background
The proposed Maritime Park Arena is a major multi -use entertainment facility to be located on the "FEC"
site abutting Biscayne Bay in Downtown Miami, Florida. The site, shown in Exhibit 1, is located on the
northeast quadrant of Biscayne Boulevard (US 1/SR 5) and Port Boulevard (SR 886). The proposed
development consists of a 24,000 seat arena, 37,500 square feet of office use (7,500 square feet for the
Arena management office, and 30,000 square feet for the Miami Heat franchise and other sport related
offices) and 40,000 square feet of retail use (30,000 square feet will be located outside the ticket secure
area of the main arena building, and 10,000 square feet inside the arena).
Potentially, all of the retail will be open to the general public on a daily basis. For purposes of this study,
the retail will be treated as retail development in the downtown area (i.e. the trip generation for retail will
be used). The site will contain approximately 1,200 parking spaces in the lower levels of the Arena.
Access to the project garage will be provided through Port Boulevard and the extension of NE 8 Street
east of Biscayne Boulevard. The proposed arena is anticipated to begin operations for the 1999-2000
NBA Basketball season. For purposes of this study, future traffic conditions will depict 1999 conditions.
In the early 1980's the City of Miami prepared an areawide Application for Development Approval
(ADA) that would give them jurisdiction over the approval of any development within the downtown
area. The document is referred as the Downtown Miami Areawide DRI. The intent of this process was
to measure the regional impacts from estimated growth in this area. The Development Order (DO) issued
allowed the City to approve both local and regional size projects as long as the developer conformed with
any mitigation requirements.
The DO also requires the developer to use the pm peak hour volumes to establish localized impacts. The
developer will be required to pay the mitigation fee for the regional impacts and to construct any close -by
improvement needed to mitigate localized impacts. The proposed Maritime Park Arena project will
comply with the Downtown Miami Areawide DRI process without additional mitigation measures.

1.2 StudyArea and M, ' odology
The scope and methodology for this study is based on the methodology of the previously approved
Downtown Miami Arewide DRI. The methodology has been discussed with various agencies including
the City of Miami, the South Florida Regional Planning Council, the Downtown Development Authority
and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). A copy of the agreed upon methodology is
presented in Appendix A.
Consistent with the Downtown Miami Areawide DRI, the traffic study has been performed for pm peak
hour conditions. Intersections capacity analysis has been performed for the following intersections:
• Biscayne Boulevard/I-395 ramps/NE 13 Street,
• Biscayne Boulevard/I-395 ramps/NE 11 Terrace,
• NE 8 Street/Biscayne Boulevard,
• NE 6 Street/Biscayne Boulevard, and
• NE 5 Street/Biscayne Boulevard.
1.3 Study Objective
Approvals for this project are sought under the development order issued to the Downtown Miami DRI.
The objective of this traffic study is to assess if there are localized pm peak hour impacts in addition to
those identified in the Downtown Miami DRI as a result of this project.

2.0 EXISTING TR FIC CONDITIONS
2.1 Data Collection
Data collection for this study included roadway characteristics, intersection data, vehicle classification
traffic counts, pedestrian counts, signal timing, accident data, and seasonal factors. The data collection
effort is described in detail in the following sections.
2.1.1 Roadway Characteristics
Biscayne Boulevard south of NE 5 Street
Biscayne Boulevard south of NE 5 Street is an eight lane, divided arterial roadway with sidewalks on
both sides of the street. The median has surface parking areas. In some areas, it is straddled by the
overhead Metromover line. Due to the widths of these median areas, the median openings are under
traffic control at street intersections.
Pedestrian amenities include sidewalks varying in width between 10' and 15', striped or paved pedestrian
crosswalks, and pedestrian phases and buttons at all traffic lights. The posted speed limit on this facility
along this area is 30 miles per hour (mph). On -street parking is only permitted in the median in this area
of Biscayne Boulevard.
Biscayne Boulevard between NE 5 Street and NE 13 Street
Biscayne Boulevard narrows between NE 5 Street and NE 6 Street. It becomes a six lane divided facility
north of NE 6 Street. The sidewalks width ranges between 6' and 12'. Portions of sidewalk on the east
side of the road are missing altogether. The median becomes a raised concrete median north of NE 6
Street, and then a painted median north of NE 7 Street. On -street parking in not permitted along this
section of roadway. The posted speed limit is 30 mph in this section of roadway.
Biscayne Boulevard north of NE 13 Street
Biscayne Boulevard becomes a four -lane facility north of NE 13 Street. The roadway becomes undivided
at this point. However, a turn lane is provided in the center of the road. On -street parking continues to
be prohibited. The posted speed limit is 30 mph.
Maritime Park Arena Traffic Study 4
219
NE 5 Street -
NE 5 Street is a 3-lane one-way eastbound roadway with a posted speed limit of 30 mph. Metromover
runs parallel to NE 5 Street from NW 1 Avenue to Biscayne Boulevard. On -street parking is not
permitted along NE 5 Street east of NW 1 Avenue. On -street parallel parking is permitted on both sides
of the street west of NW I Avenue.
NE 6 Street
NE 6 Street is a 3-lane one-way westbound roadway. The posted speed limit is 30 mph. On -street
parking is not permitted between Biscayne Boulevard and NE 1 Avenue. On -street parallel parking is
permitted on both sides of the street west of NW 1 Avenue.
Port Boulevard
NE 5 Street and NE 6 Street act as a one-way pair- merging into Port Boulevard and providing direct
access into the Port of Miami. Port Boulevard is a six lane divided causeway with a high span bridge,
which provides access from mainland Downtown Miami to the Port of Miami (Dodge Island). The
posted speed limit is 40 mph. Parking is not permitted along the road.
NE 8 Street
NE 8 Street is a two-way, 2-lane, undivided roadway. Parallel parking is permitted on a parking lane
along both sides of the road. The posted speed limit is 30 mph. The intersection of NE 8 Street/Biscayne
Boulevard is unsignalized, controlled by a stop sign.
2.1.2 Traffic Counts
As agreed upon with planning staff from the City of Miami, peak hour vehicle turning movement counts
were collected at the intersections under study. Seasonal adjustment factors were obtained from the
FDOT. A seasonal volume adjustment factor of 1.01 (for 1996 Dade Countywide) corresponding to the
date of the counts was used to adjust the raw traffic counts to a typical weekday traffic count.
Appendix B provides summaries of traffic volumes and peak hour calculations for the locations counted
for this study. Exhibit 2 shows the seasonally adjusted 1997 pm peak hour traffic volumes at the
intersections under study.

2.1.3 Intersection Data
A field survey was conducted to determine the lane configurations at the roadways and intersections -
under study. Existing signal timing data was obtained from Dade County for the intersections under
study. This information provided the signal phasing and timing used in the intersection capacity analysis.
Exhibit 3 shows the existing lane configurations, and the resulting levels of service (LOS) for existing pm
peak hour conditions. More detailed sketches of the intersections under study are provided in Appendix
C.
2.2 Intersection Capacity Analysis
Intersection capacity analysis was performed using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS), based on
procedures of the 1994 Highway Capacity Manual. Exhibit 3 shows the resulting LOS for existing
conditions at the intersections under study (see Appendix D for worksheets). The eastbound approach
of the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard/NE 8 Street will experience delays with the existing lane
configurations and traffic control (un-signalized). All other intersections currently operate at acceptable
LOS.

3.1 Programmed Roadway Improvements
Dade County's 1998 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was reviewed to determine if any
roadway in the vicinity of this project are programmed for improvement. Exhibit 4 shows the
programmed roadways improvements in this area.

3.2 Planned Roadway Improvements
Planned (unfunded) improvements in the area include the widening of Biscayne Boulevard north of NE
5 Street. This improvement will include widening of the sidewalks and median as well as beautification
of the sidewalks. At this time, this is a conceptual improvement; plans have not been completed.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) has been considering the creation of a Downtown
Circulation Loop (DCL). The objective is to improve traffic flow in the downtown area by diverting
traffic to an arterial loop; this will ensure that any downtown area origin or destination is within a few
blocks of an arterial. The DCL would serve as a system that provides improved access between I-95 and
the downtown land uses. It will also allow vehicles to circulate around downtown while avoiding streets
which have high pedestrian usage. Different alternatives have been studied in the past. However, there
is no definite plan for the ultimate DCL.

The Florida Department u. fransportation (FDOT) has been studying improvements to I-395. However,
in order to accommodate the proposed Maritime Park Arena and Performing Arts Center, FDOT has -
suspended completion of the preliminary engineering of the improvements to I-395. They will reactivate
those studies, and will adjust them for the revised traffic demands, including special event requirements,
as soon as both projects are defined. Completion of the construction of the I-395 improvements will
occur after completion of the Arena. For purposes of this study, these improvements have not been
accounted for.

4.0 FUTURE TRAIN r IC CONDITIONS
4.1 Committed Developments
It was agreed upon with the reviewing agencies that traffic generated by the proposed Performing Arts
Center should be considered in this study. This complex will consist of a 2,400 seat Ballet/Opera House,
a 2,200 seat Concert Hall and a 450 seat Studio Theater. It will be located east and west of Biscayne
Boulevard between NE 13 Street and NE 14 Street.
Investigation of committed developments, verified with City of Miami staff, did not reveal imminent
developments in the area. A 2% growth factor was added to existing traffic volumes to account for any
development that may occur within the study period.
Trip generation for the Performing Arts Center was estimated using the table titled Land Use Exchange
Rates for Downtown Miami DRI. This table was obtained in Attachment D-2: Downtown Miami DRI
Facilities Trip Generation. Analysis in the Notification of Proposed Change (NOPC) to the Downtown
Miami DRI, submitted to the South Florida Regional Planning Council in September, 1994. This table
showing the rates used for purposes of this study is provided in Appendix E. It is widely recognized that
these rates are "Urban Environment Trip Generation Rates" reflecting conditions during the pm peak
hour of the roadway system in Downtown Miami (afternoon "rush hour"). These rates are not intended
to reflect traffic generation during a special event, but rather during the worst time of a typical weekday.
During those times the Performing Arts Center traffic generation is primarily administrative and
maintenance personnel only. Exhibit 5 shows pm peak hour trip generation for this project, along with
the proposed land uses.

Traffic generated by this u ,,telopment was distributed and assigned to the study area using the Cardinal
Distribution for Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) 612 and 613, shown in Exhibit 6. The Cardinal -
Distribution gives a generalized distribution of trips from a TAZ to other parts of Dade County. For
estimating trip distribution for the committed project, consideration was given to conditions such as the
roadway network accessed by the project, roadways available to travel in the desired direction, and
attractiveness of traveling on a specific roadway.

4.3 Future Traffic Cot. _ions with Project
Using the trip assignments from the previous sections, the project trips, background growth and
committed development trips were combined with the adjusted 1997 existing traffic to get the total 1999
traffic on the impacted roadway segments. Exhibit 11 shows the total pm peak hour turning movement
volumes, along with the resulting roadway LOS with the project, at all the intersections under study.
Intersection capacity analysis worksheets are provided in Appendix C.
It is anticipated that with the existing intersection configuration (unsignalized), delays will be experienced
by traffic to and from NE 8 Street at the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard/NE 8 Street. It is
recommended that this intersection be signalized in order to improve operations for existing as well as
future conditions. Signalization of this intersection will not only improve pm peak hour level of service,
but will also facilitate traffic control during higher volume conditions, such as special events. However,
the approval process established by Florida's Department of Transportation for a new signal requires that
the signal meet the warrants described in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Studies (MUTCD). A signal
warrant study will be prepared as part of the permitting phase of the project.
Intersection capacity analysis for these intersections was performed with the recommended signal in place
(worksheets are also provided in Appendix Q. The analysis shows the intersection operating at LOS A
with this improvement. All other intersections are projected to operated within the LOS E standard
established in the Downtown Miami Areawide DRI.

5.0 SPECIAL CONsa)ERATIONS
5.1 Special Events Transportation Management Plan
Because of the nature of this project, it is anticipated that large traffic volumes will be generated during
special events, while modest demands will be the norm during other hours of operation. Generally,
special events occur during off-peak hours. This is an ideal situation because there is excess roadway
capacity available during off-peak hours.
However, it is also recognized that a Special Events Transportation Management Plan needs to be
developed to ensure a safe and efficient means of accommodating the traffic generated during special
events. Although this plan needs to be studied and developed in more detail, an outline has been provided
as part of this submittal as Exhibit A-2. This outline lists potential alternatives/strategies that may be
considered in the Special Events Transportation Management Plan.

Since parking will be limited at the proposed site, pedestrian access will be critical to the success of the
proposed Maritime Park Arena Therefore, project design will emphasize the importance of other modes
of transportation. A discussion of possible strategies that can be implemented as part of this project, with
the support of the appropriate responsible agencies, is presented in Exhibit A-3 of the traffic study.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS
An assessment of the pm peak hour traffic associated with the Maritime Park Arena was performed in
accordance with the requirements of the Downtown Miami Areawide DRI. If warranted, it is
recommended that the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard/NE 8 Street be signalized in order to improve
operations for existing as well as future conditions.
Analysis of future (1999) traffic conditions with the project during pm peak hours shows that the
Downtown Miami Areawide DRI's adopted Level of Service E standard will not be exceeded. Adequate
roadway capacity during the pm peak hour is available to accommodate the proposed project trips. The
proposed Maritime Park Arena Project will comply with the requirements of the Downtown Miami
Areawide DRI without additional regional mitigation measures.

TRAFFIC APPROVAL PROCESS
MARITIME PARK ARENA
(Revised September 3. 1997)
Downtown DRI Conditions
The Maritime Park Arena is a mixed use project. The Arena will have 24,000 event seats. The same
site will have a limited amount of land uses that complement the Arena events but will also be open
to the general public. Examples include restaurants, retail, and a Miami Heat theme store.
In the early 1980's the City of Miami prepared an area wide Application for Development Approval
(ADA) for Developments of Regional Impacts. There were two separate ADA's. The first area is
Southeast Overtown/Parkwest. The second was the retail and office center of the City including the
areas along Brickell Avenue south of the Miami River and Omni (north of the CBD). Both
documents are usually referred to as the Downtown DRI.
The intent of the Downtown DRI was to measure the regional impacts from estimated growth in -
these areas. The Downtown Development Order identified the degree of required transportation
improvements to support this growth. The Order then allowed the City to approve both local and
regional size projects as long as the developer conformed with the mitigation requirements.
The South Florida Regional Planning Council, and the other review agencies, selected the two-way
P.M. peak hour as the analysis hour for the DRI. The two way volumes were estimated for the
growth and the transportation mitigation to support that growth was set. The City is allowed to
permit projects within the DRI area until the level, or threshold, of these estimated peak hour volumes
is exceeded. At that time another increment of the Downtown DRI would be completed that
establishes new mitigation requirements and new volume thresholds.
A-1
<_ k 98_ 2f# /07
The Development Order also requires the developer to use the P.M. peak hour volumes to establish
close -by improvements to support their site. The developer will be required to both pay the
mitigation rate for the regional impacts and to construct the close -by intersection improvements.
The Maritime Park Arena will comply with the Downtown DRI process. The P.M. peak hour trips
generated by the land uses at the Arena will be estimated and compared to the regional trip allowance
in Downtown Miami. Comparisons will be made to the original mix of DRI land uses and
simultaneous increases and decreases will be made to the land use list. The nearby intersections will
be analyzed in the P.M. peak hour and commitments made to the signalization and turn lane
construction that may be required to support these volumes.
Arena Process
The legal requirements for development of the Arena are satisfied with the completion of the studies
noted above. However, the State of Florida, South Florida Regional Planning Council, and the
developers recognize that the Arena attracts significant patrons outside of the rush or peak hours.
It makes --no economical sense, or urban design principals, to construct large transportation
improvements to support those limited amounts of off-peak operations. It would be far better to
develop a Transportation/Traffic Management master plan to make better utilization of the existing
system during those hours. Examples of the elements in this plan would include reversing streets,
imbalanced lanes, police control of traffic, satellite parking, and promotion of transit.
The Arena, as part of the traffic approval process, proposes the three step technical process described
above. The first two steps meet the requirements of the Downtown Development Order. The third
item creates comfortable and efficient circulation for the off-peak hour Arena events.

r
98- 219
TASK I - SIMULTANEOUS INCREASEMECREASE IN LAND USES
The PM peak hour trips generated by all the land uses in the site will be estimated using the trip
generation rates established in the original ADA. It is expected that the retail type uses at the site will
be the dominant contributors to the PM peak hour volumes. The Arena contribution during those
weekday PM hours will be employees, deliveries, and other limited uses. The two way PM peak hour
volumes will then be deducted from the DRI threshold. There will also be simultaneous increases and
decreases in the land use list that was part of the original Development Order.
TASK 2 - NEARBY INTERSECTION ANALYSIS
The PM peak hour -capacity analysis at the major intersections and nearby driveways will be
completed. For the Arena it will involve the intersections listed below. The analysis will begin with
existing PM peak hour volumes, will add other committed projects, then superimpose the Arena
volumes on those totals to determine the future level of service at the location. All generation rates
will be consistent with the Downtown DRI approvals. The PM peak hour trips generated by the
proposed Performing Arts Center will be considered committed traffic.
The analysis will identify any intersection mitigation that may be required to maintain acceptable
levels of service. Likely examples would include turn lanes and signalization timing.

TASK 3 - TRANSPORTATION/ TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Transportation Management Plan, which will include the special event traffic operations plan,
will be put in place to accommodate the Arena volumes during the off-peak hours. The Plan
recognizes that the Arena traffic can be absorbed on the site street system if supported by special
operational plans during those hours. The Plan also recognizes the importance of car pooling,
available transit, directional signing and the like.
Plan Elements
1) Revised geometrics to allow double, with police control, rather than single turn lanes.
2) Reversing lanes to accommodate inbound and then outbound movements.
3) Imbalanced lanes.
4) Police.control of signal timing.
5) Expressway directional signs encouraging use of a variety of expressway exits.
6) Internet web sites showing routes and available parking.
7) .Car pooling.
8) Promoting multiple stops and using charter buses from restaurants and entertainment
spots.
The Management Plan will be submitted to the City of Miami. It is possible there will be several
different plans depending on the level of event patronage. The Miami Heat sellout, for instance, will
have a more comprehensive plan than an event not expected to fill the Arena. The Plan, including
the special event traffic operations, become a commitment that would be part of the Arena approval.
I-395
The Florida Department of Transportation, in order to accommodate the future plans of the Arena
and Performing Arts Center, has suspended completion of the preliminary engineering of the
improvements of I-395. They will reactivate those studies, adjusting for the revised traffic demands
including special event requirements, as soon as those projects are defined. Completion of the
construction of the I-395 improvements will occur after the completion of the Arena. For this reason
the Tasks 2 and 3 described above may have to be completed for the existing I-395 conditions, then
adjusted for the proposed improvements on that same facility.

Exhibit A-2
Downtown DRI Maritime Park Arena
Transportation Management Plan Outline
A Transportation Management Plan (TMP) will be developed to accommodate the Maritime Park
Arena volumes during special events. The plan recognizes that the Maritime Park Arena traffic can
be absorbed by the existing street system if supported by special operational plans during event hours.
This is due to the fact that most Maritime Park Arena events will occur during the "off-peak" hours
of roadway use. The plan also recognizes the importance of police assisted traffic control, car
pooling, use of available transit, directional signage and the like. It is possible that several sub -plans
will be developed depending on the level of patronage. A Miami Heat sellout, for instance, will have
a more comprehensive plan than an event not expected to fill the Maritime Park Arena.
The following list is a compilation of potential strategies which will form the basis for the Maritime
Park Arena TMP. The plan will be submitted to the agencies reviewing this element of the traffic
study. The plan will be adjusted, as needed, prior to the Maritime Park Arena obtaining a Certificate
of Occupancy.
1. Special Events Intersection Geometrics. This will consist of temporarily revising lane
geometrics at key intersections in order to allow, for example, double turn lanes. This temporary
measure will accommodate additional demand created by special events and recognizes the
directionallity of access to/from events.
In order to assure successful operations, these temporary turn lanes will be police controlled.
Temporary traffic control devices will also be required. These include, but are not limited to,
roadside signs, barricades, and traffic cones.
The extent to which these modifications will be recommended will depend on the size of the
event. This strategy will be especially useful in the vicinity of project driveways where turning
movement volumes will be significantly increased during special events. Other strategies that may
be considered under this technique include:
• Temporary de -activation of traffic sign _sai . Signals that may warranted during the pm peak
hour may not be needed during event hours. These signals may be operated in flashing
operations mode during event hours. Police assistance at these intersections may be required.
• Turn Prohibitions. Turns from the minor streets would be limited to right turns only during
an event (i.e., eastbound approaches to Biscayne Boulevard from NE 9 Street, NE 10 Street,
etc.).
2. Adjushnent of Roadway Geometrics during Special Events. This will consist of temporarily
revising lane geometrics at roadway links in order to minimize delays and/or conflicts during
special events.
• Closure of median Qming_s. Median openings along Biscayne Boulevard may be closed
during special events in order to minimize conflicts. This measure would minimize delays of
traffic destined to and from the special event, as well as minimizing conflicts and potential
accidents.
I Reversible Lanes. This strategy would provide the site with additional lanes to facilitate access
when high demand is in one direction only (i.e., entering or exiting a special event). This can be
a partial as well as a total modification.
For example, NE 8 Street is generally a two-way roadway. The Maritime Park Arena is
proposing a driveway that would align with NE 8 Street. During special events, the roadway can
be converted to a 2-lane, one-way eastbound road when patrons are entering a special event. The
pattern can be reversed to a one-way westbound road to accommodate the additional outbound
demand. Police control, as well as traffic control devices, will be required to successfully
implement this strategy.
2 -
219
The Maritime Park Arena entrances will most likely be reversible and/or imbalanced. Other
options that will be studied include:
• Imbalanced lanes (i.e., converting a 4 lane, 2-way road into 3 lanes in one direction and one
in the other).
• Conversion from two-way to one-way streets, and vice -versa.
• Contra -Flow bus lanes.
4. Police Traffic Control. Signal timing may be overridden by police officers at intersections of
high demand during special events- This would enable traffic to flow more rapidly in the direction
of additional demand.
5. Traffic Signal Improvements. Traffic signal improvements can enhance the overall traffic
operations of a roadway network. Related strategies may include:
• Intersection equipment replacement.
• Improved traffic. control devices.
• Signal timing plans designed specially for times when a special event is in place.
• Enhanced pedestrian signal equipment.
• Bus traffic signal pre-emption.
6. Expressway Directional Signs. The project site can be accessed from two expressways: I-95
and I-395. Numerous ramps and interchanges service the Downtown Miami area providing ample
capacity and access to accommodate project traffic during special events. Because of the multi
entry/exit points in Downtown Miami, dispersing traffic loads without compromising travel time
is possible.
However, it is important to inform motorists of their alternatives because many may be unfamiliar
with Downtown Miami. Signs, either conventional or variable message (intelligent system), can
3
98- 219-1,6/
achieve this goal of distributing traffic throughout the system. Additional elements that can be
studied as part of this strategy are:
• Traffic control signs to direct traffic on local streets.
• Intelligent Transportation Systems.
7. Access and Parking Information. This strategy would provide season ticket holders and the
general public with information/maps on recommended routing to the Maritime Park Arena and
available parking areas on and off site. By doing so, it will be possible to take advantage of the
multi access points to Downtown Miami and also allow the patron to plan ahead on their parking
destination. This strategy is expected to be especially effective since patrons of the events
proposed at this site are repeat users (ticket holders) who will become familiar with the pattern
quickly. Additional strategies may include:
• Developing an Internet Web site that provides text and maps of key access points, routes, and
parking destinations.
• Working with the media to provide this information via newscasts, the newspaper, radio, etc.
• Providing route, access, and parking information/maps with season ticket mailings, single
game ticket purchases, etc..
• Developing a "hotline" for patrons with questions regarding route, access, parking
information, and public transit information.
• The development of an arena guide book made available to patrons which will include
information on issues such as parking, transit, access, and routes to the site.
8. Transit. Transit routes and schedules may be adjusted to accommodate special events. Other
related strategies are:
• Creation of Bus/Shuttle drop-off areas. A lane on Biscayne Boulevard may need to be
temporarily closed by using traffic cones to provide a bustshuttle drop-off area.
• Feeder Bus system.
4
98- 219
• Shuttle System (Private or Public) from Metrorail, remote parking areas, and the like.
• Promoting transit passes throughout the downtown area during special events.
• Adjusting the Metrorail/Metromover schedule during special events.
• Creating fixed routes and express bus services.
• Providing off-street transit loading zones.
9. Other High Occupancy Vehicle Alternatives. This strategy is designed to promote higher
vehicle occupancies by giving preferential treatment to vehicles with more than 2 occupants.
Related strategies include:
• Creation of reversible High Occupancy Vehicle lanes during special events. This task may
include the creation of buses and/or shuttle service around the downtown area for event
patrons.
• High Occupancy preferential parking.
10. Other Modes of Transportation. The purpose of this strategy is to reduce the vehicle trip -
ends to the special event by encouraging transit use, increase auto occupancy, and the like.
Additional strategies may include:
• Enhanced pedestrian crosswalks.
• Enhancing sidewalks to encourage pedestrian access.
• Promoting car pooling.
• Promoting other modes of transportation such as water taxis.

Downtown DRI Maritime Park Arena
Development Strategies Which Promote Linkages Between the
Project and The Downtown/Southeast Overtown Park West Community
l Z7.:. 1r _
Pedestrian access to the project is critical to the success of the facility. Project design places
great importance on pedestrian access in as much as on -site parking is limited. This translates
into the majority of the arena patrons ultimately reaching the site by means other than
automobiles.
There are four potential modes of access for -patrons that do not park at the site: off -site
parking/walk, transit/walk, shuttle, and water taxi. This linkages proposal recognizes that while
the arena operators do control the physical features of the arena site, most of the potential modes
of access are not controlled by them. A partnership is needed between the Downtown
Development Authority (DDA), the City of Miami, Dade County, the Florida Department of
Transportation, transit operators, parking operators, and area businesses. The Arena management
is committed to, and supportive of, these partnerships.
1. Off -site Parking/Walk
The largest component of site access will be patrons parking in adjacent lots and garages in
the immediate vicinity (4 blocks) of the arena. These patrons will most likely be walking to
the site using the existing sidewalks. Linkages to these parking facilities in Downtown and
Southeast Overtown Park West will be primarily at grade and may be supplemented in the
form of pedestrian bridges.
a. Pedestrian Focal Points
These are at -grade pedestrian crossings that cater to and channelize pedestrians into and
out of the arena site. Pedestrian Focal Points are anticipated at several Biscayne
. , y8- 219 05
I.
Boulevard locations in front of the site: NE 6th, 7th,- 8th, and 9th Streets. Pedestrian
bridges were considered for Biscayne Boulevard. However, structures at these locations
are both ineffective, and incompatible with the aesthetics of the planned Biscayne
Boulevard.
Special treatment of these Focal Points should include: well marked, oversized
crosswalks; large refuge space at the intersection sidewalks and Biscayne Boulevard
median; large display pedestrian signals; pedestrian cycle signal actuation (push buttons);
special event pedestrian signal timing plan; police control; etc.
b. Port Boulevard Pedestrian Bridge
The volume and type of traffic on Port -Boulevard make that facility better suited for a
pedestrian bridge. Dade County plans to build a bridge over Port Boulevard connecting
the plaza level of the arena (north side of Port Boulevard) with the upper level of Bayside
and the City Marina areas (on the south side). A pedestrian bridge at the location will
provide a linkage to the Downtown area immediately south, and will facilitate the flow
of pedestrian traffic from the Bayside/City Marina area.
c. Pedestrian Friendly Areas
The area four blocks around the arena will experience heavy pedestrian traffic generated
by patrons parking nearby. Pedestrian amenities will strengthen the linkages to off -site
parking facilities in Downtown and the Southeast Overtown Park West areas. In general,
these amenities could include wide sidewalks, landscaping, lighting security, etc. (see
section on Urban Design and Landscaping). The initiative of the City, DDA and private
enterprises will be needed to the effect these strategies over time.
It is expected that the new arena will be a catalyst for development of properties west of
Biscayne Boulevard. As such, it is anticipated that the new developments created as a
result will enhance and provide urban development improvements as part of their
development strategies.
2
219
The Florida Department of Transportation is undertaking a Project Design and
Environment Study for the section of Biscayne Boulevard (US 1) between Port Boulevard
and I-395. The PD&E study will evaluate alternatives, assess the impacts, and make final
recommendations regarding the ultimate configuration of US 1. Preliminary analysis
suggests that the typical cross section could be about 168 ft, as follows: 2-15' sidewalks
(to replace the existing sidewalks ranging in width between 6' and 12% 8-1 P lanes (4 in
each direction to replace the eight existing lanes), and a 50' median (to replace the current
painted median). This design is very sensitive to pedestrian needs. It provides a wider
sidewalk, as well as a wide median refuge areas. The Burle Marx paving design, already
adopted by the City, will be used for the sidewalk areas. Appropriate landscaping and
other pedestrian amenities consistent with the area will be considered during the
preliminary design.
B. Tcansit/Walk
A transit pedestrian corridor is desirable to provide a linkage from major transit facilities to the
arena. This linkage can also be used as a pedestrian linkage to Downtown and Southeast
Overtown/Parkwest. The most effective corridor would be one connecting the arena to the
Overtown MetroRail Station via NE/NW 7 Street and NW 8 Street. This route is four blocks -
long, and fairly direct. It will also bring the pedestrians to the NE 7th Street crossing, away from
the busier NE 5th, 6th, and 8th Streets intersections which are dominated by vehicular traffic.
Pedestrian amenities could be provided as described above. Similar transit pedestrian corridors,
perhaps blending into the Pedestrian Friendly Areas described above, could be provided for other
transit facilities such as the following MetroMover stations: Bayfront Park, First Street,
College/Bayside, College North, Freedom Tower, Park West, Eleventh Street, and Bicentennial
Park. The leadership of DDA and the City will be required in the proactive pursuit of these
strategies.
C. Shuttl
Shuttle linkages should be implemented to establish connections with the Downtown and
Southeast Overtown/Park West areas, as well as connections with other elements of the
91
{ 1
M,
98- 219_
transportation system. Several shuttle routes (designated by colors and/or symbols -wayfaring)
will be needed to service: areas residents and workers; transit riders from the MetroRail's
Overtown and Government Center Stations, passengers from the MetroBus transfer station on
Flagler Street, and transit users from the more remote MetroMover stations; patrons parking in
nearby lots and garages, as well as, remote parking facilities; hotels, and major area attractions,
restaurants, etc.
Shuttle stops on Biscayne Boulevard, north of NE 8 Street will provide convenient shuttle and
pedestrian access for ease of use and efficiency. Shuttle staging areas, however, must be
designated to ensure that sufficient buses are immediately available after the events to
accommodate the concentrated demand. Such capacity is needed both to provide adequate
service to the public (with minimal wait time) and. to be able to efficiently feed higher capacity
systems such as MetroRail.
The cooperation of the Dade County Transit Agency will be important in implementing the transit
related routes and supporting shuttle services. The continued leadership of the City of Miami and
DDA will be needed to effect other supporting shuttle services offered by Downtown businesses.
DDA has already mentioned the potential use of the Flagler Street and Brickell electric shuttle
buses and trams in the evenings and weekends.
D. Water Taxi
Downtown has water on two sides: the Biscayne Bay and Miami River. Water taxis are mostly
an amenity. It is, admittedly, a low capacity connection. However, it should not be discarded.
Water taxis can provide an additional linkage to the Downtown areas and Southeast Overtown
Park West. Arena patrons could board taxis at locations such as the City of Miami Building, Fort
Dallas Park (the Hyatt), Dupont Plaza, Sheraton Hotel, Intercontinental Hotel, Bayside, etc. The
arena end of the trip could be on the east side of the arena or the north side. Water taxi facilities,
however, must be provided as part of the future Maritime Park development.
