average of $330. Of those 92 units, 15 units are not rentable due to their
dilapidated condition. The rented units are on a month -to -month tenancy.
These 92 units will be replaced with 600 affordable -moderate income rental
apartments. The average apartment will approximate 475 square feet for a
studio, 775 square feet for a one bedroom, 1,150 square feet for a two -bedroom,
and 1,600 square feet for a three -bedroom unit. Rents will range between $800
for a studio and $2,300 for a three -bedroom unit.
The loss of 73 low-income housing units will be replaced with 600 affordable
moderate income housing units in furtherance of the following sections of the
Downtown Master Plan:
Policy I-C:
Downtown's existing neighborhoods were built decades ago under very
different market conditions than exist today. To produce moderate cost
units, higher densities allowing for more efficient land development will
be required. Density increases however, should be moderate and
timed to coincide with reasonable expectations of market demand and
investment. As property owners present viable development
applications, the City should accommodate private requests for zoning
increases in the following areas:
Policy 2-13:
BlYr
Creating bookends north and south of the CBD, the Park West and
Central Brickell areas can become a concentration of highrise residential
towers forming new in -town neighborhoods with urban lifestyles that
- resemble the upper West side in New York or the Uptown area around
North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The immediate relationship of
Central Brickell to the prestige Brickell Avenue office district makes
Central Brickell one of the best area of downtown to accommodate the
need for quality (not luxury) high-rise rental, condominium and
cooperative housing. This residential use should be mixed with high
intensity office use and service retail located on streets enhanced with
pedestrian amenities. Brickell Promenade (SE/SW 10th Street is the
proposed activity center for this neighborhood (see Enhancing Public
Spaces, Policy 3-B).....
Policy 3-8:
The City of Miami's Affordable Housing Trust Fund was established in
1985 to receive contributions from new private sector commercial
development projects in the SPI-5 zoning district along Brickell Avenue
and in the SPI-7 zoning district in Central Brickell. In both of these
95- 596
zoning districts, housing is encouraged to be provided onsite through
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) incentives. As an alternative to on -site housing,
the developer is given a FAR bonus in exchange for a voluntary
contribution to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The Trust Fund Is
required to be used to subsidize affordable housing within the zoning
district from which the funds were collected. Funds collected within the
SPI-5 District may alternatively be used within Southeast Overtown Park
West or within a one mile radius of the SPI-5 district.
d. A description of proposed energy conservation measures shall be provided, including only
those measures that are proposed in addition to the minimum requirements in State
Energy Code.
Arohitecturally, the building envelope will be comprised of insulated walls and roof.
Mechanically, the cooling system will consist of water cooled heat pumps which surpass
the minimum seer and cop required by the State Energy Code. Extensive use of wall
shading by means of canopies and balconies will be implemented. Highly tinted glass will
be used throughout the building.
Electrically, all exterior and landscape lighting will be controlled by means of time clocks
and photocell switches. Energy saving lamps, ballasts and fixtures are being considered
at all common areas. All motors over one-half horsepower will be high efficiency
motors.
e. Historic buildings.
There are no historic structures located on the Property.
f. Environmental zone.
The Property is not located within an environmental preservation district.
g. Dade County Shoreline Development Review.
On October 9, 1991, Brickell Point was unanimously approved by the Dade County

ANALYSIS
The Brickell Point project has been designed with the goal of maximizing the
property's unique location at the mouth of the Miami River and Biscayne Bay.
The residential towers will compliment the Brickell Avenue Office District and
offer magnificent views of Downtown Miami, Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach. The
project consists of a wide, well integrated River and Baywalk which surrounds
the projects northern eastern waterfront edges. The final submittal has been
modified slightly from its original form in response to comments received by
the City's Large Scale Development Committee at its —Meeting of 3/7/95, and the
Urban Development Review Board at its meeting of 4/19/95-twith the exception
of the building top design which A s addressed in the conditions below}.
While the new Brickell Avenue Bridge will facilitate vehicular circulation
within the remainder of the downtown area, it has made accessibility to the
subject property difficult. The proposed accessways to the site -are through an
easement from the adjoining property, and while it is not an optimum solution,
it is functional and makes the best of a difficult situation.

requirements of said Charter Amendment, however, to avoid any confusion we would ask
�. for a waiver of the same.
� This request is being,submitted as part of the MUSP application currently pending

Re: Large Scale Development Committee (LM) of March 7, •1995, Brickell
Pointe project
Dear Ms. Slazyck:
e During the above referenced meeting issues were raised regarding the Charter of
the City of Miami requirements as to the "Scenic Corridor" requirement for waterfront
property. The Charter specifically mandates the preservation of the City's natural scenic
beauty, to guaranty open spaces, and to protect the waterfront. In order to do so, the
Charter requires at least a 50' setback from the seawall and average side yards equal in
aggregate to at least 25% percent of the average lot width. It is our position that the
Brickell Pointe project satisfies both of *these requirements.
The Brickell Pointe project as evidenoel by the plan reviewed during the LSD
Committee meeting, clearly shows a 50' setback from the seawall along the entire
waterfront frontage of the property. As to the side yards, you will be able to ascertain
from the attached sketch the average width of this lot which is calculated at 197.41 feet.
This figure has been obtained by measuring the property width at five different points of
the property (as you indicated to the architect) and averaging the five measurements for
the total average width of 197.41 feet. The Charter requires that the average side yards
be equal in aggregate to at least 25% of the average. lot width. Therefore, the least
required average side yards would be 49.35 feet, the aggregate side yard provided is 67
feet.
It is evident, based on the .calculations submitted to us by the, architect, that thi;
project meets the requirements of the Charter provisions. Upon review of this letter by
you and your staff, we are confident that you will concur with our findings that the

average of $330. Of those 92 units, 15 units are not rentable due to their
dilapidatedcondition. The rented units are on a month -to -month tenancy.
These 92 units will be replaced with 600 affordable moderate income rental
apartments. The average apartment will approximate 475 square feet for a
studio, 775 square feet for a one bedroom, 1,150 square feet for a two -bedroom,
and 1,600 square feet for a three -bedroom unit. Rents will range between $800
for a studio and $2,300 for a three -bedroom unit.
The loss of 73 low-income housing units will be replaced with 600 affordable
moderate income housing units in furtherance of the following sections of the
Downtown Master Plan:
Policy I-C•
I i Downtown's existing neighborhoods were built decades ago under very
different market conditions than exist today. To produce moderate cost'
j� units, higher densities allowing for more efficient land development will
u be required. Density increases however, should be moderate and
timed to' 'coincide with reasonable expectations of market demand and
investmgnt. As property owners present viable development
applicatigns, the City should accommodate private requests for zoning
increases' kin the following areas:
DPolicy -2B: �
,
i
U Creating bookends north and south of the 'CBD, the Park Vilest and
Central Brickell areas can become a concentration of highrise residential
towers forming new in -town neighborhoods with urban lifestyles that
resemble the upper West side in New York or the Uptown area around
North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The immediate relationship of
Central Brickell to the prestige Brickell Avenue office district makes
Central Brickell one of the best area of downtown to accommodate the
need for quality (not luxury) high-rise rental, condominium and
D cooperative housing. This residential use should be mixed with high
intensity office use and service retail located on streets enhanced with
pedestrian amenities. Brickell Promenade (SE/SW 10th Street is the
proposed activity center for this neighborhood (see Enhancing Public
Spaces, Policy 3-13).....
Policy 3-8:
The City of Miami's Affordable Housing Trust Fund was established in
1985 to receive contributions from new private sector commercial
development projects in the SPI-5 zoning district along Brickell Avenue
and in the SPI-7 zoning district in Central Brickell. In both of these
1
95- 596
zoning districts, housing is encouraged to be provided onsite through
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) incentives. As an alternative to on -site housing,
t-" the developer is given a FAR bonus in exchange for a voluntary
contribution to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The Trust Fund is
required to be used to subsidize affordable housing within the zoning
district from which the funds were collected. Funds collected within the
SPI-5 District may alternatively be used within Southeast Overtown Park
West or within a one mile radius of the SPI-5 district.

the minimum seer and cop required by the State Energy Code. Extensive use. of wall
shading by means of canopies and balconies will be implemented. Highly tinted glass will
be used throughout the building.
Electrically, all gxterior and landscape lighting will be controlled by means of time clocks

r�r
average of $330. Of those 92 units, 15 units are not rentable due to their

apartments. The average apartment will approximate 475 square feet for a
studio, 775 square feet for a one bedroom, 1,150 square feet for a two -bedroom,
and 1,600 square feet for a three -bedroom unit. Rents will range between $800
for a studio and $2,300 for a three -bedroom unit.
The loss of 73 low-income housing units will be replaced with 600 affordable
moderate income housing units in furtherance of the following sections of the
Downtown Master Plan:
Downtown's existing neighborhoods were built decades ago under very.
different market conditions than exist today. To produce moderate cost
units, higher densities allowing for more efficient land development will
be required. Density increases however, should be moderate and
timed to coincide with reasonable expectations of market demand and
investment. As property owners present viable development
applications, the City should accommodate private requests for zoning
increases in the following areas:
Policy 2-8:
RIO
Creating bookends north and south of the CBD, the Park West and
Central Brickell areas can become a concentration of highrise residential
towers forming new in -town neighborhoods with urban lifestyles that
resemble the upper West side in New York or the Uptown area around
North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The immediate relationship of
Central Brickell to the prestige Brickell Avenue office district makes
Central Brickell one of the best area of downtown to accommodate the
need for quality (not luxury) high-rise rental, condominium and
cooperative housing. This residential use should be mixed with high
intensity office use and service retail located on streets enhanced with
pedestrian amenities. Brickell Promenade (SE/SW 10th Street is the
proposed activity center for this neighborhood (see Enhancing Public
Spaces, Policy 3-8)..... .
Policy 3-8:
The City of Miami's Affordable Housing Trust Fund was established in
1985.to receive contributions from new private sector commercial
development projects in the SPI-5 zoning district along Brickell Avenue
and in the SPI-7 zoning district in Central Brickell. In both of these
95- 596
- zoning districts, housing is encouraged to be provided onsite through
Floor Area Ratio (FAR). incentives. As an alternative to on -site housing,
the developer is given a FAR bonus in exchange for a voluntary
i contribution to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The Trust Fund is
required to be used to subsidize affordable housing within the zoning
district from which the funds were collected. Funds collected within the
SPI-5 District may alternatively be used within Southeast Overtown Park
West or within a one mile radius of the SPI-5 district.
d- A description of proposed energy conservation measures shall be provided, including only
those measures that are proposed in addition to the minimum requirements in State
Energy Code.
Architecturally, the building envelope will be comprised of insulated walls and roof.
Mechanically, the cooling system will consist of water cooled heat pumps which surpass
the Minimum seer and cop required by the State Energy Code. Extensive use of wall
shading by means of canopies and balconies will be implemented. Highly tinted glass will
be used throughout the building.
Electrically, all exterior and landscape lighting will be controlled by means of time clocks
and photocell switches. Energy saving lamps, ballasts and fixtures are being considered
at all common areas. All motors over one-half horsepower will be high efficiency
motors.
e. Historic buildings.
There are no historic structures located on the Property.
f. Environmental zone.
The Property is not located within an environmental preservation district. -
g. Dade County Shoreline Development Review.
On October 9, 1991, Brickell Point was unanimously approved by the Dade County
Shoreline Development Review Committee. Resolution 91-SDRC-9 recommends
approval and is located under Article I(G). A determination of substantial compliance has
been requested before the Dade County Shoreline Development Review Committee.
