Luft,.Directo Department of Community Planning and Revitalization 95- 830 TO: Planning Advisory Board Members DATE: October 27, 1995 SUBJECT: Agenda package for Nov. 1, 1995 Workshop Enclosed with this agenda package are responses to questions and comments raised at your last meeting, on the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). A revised EAR Land Use Element, dated 10/30/95, will be delivered to you before the meeting of Wednesday, November 1, 1995. i } 95- 830 COMMENTS/QUESTIONS BY PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER DORIS SCHEER, AND RESPONSES BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND REVITALIZATION The following coniments/questions were raised by Planning Advisory Board member Doris Scheer at the PAB meeting of October 18, 1995, and a copy was faxed to the CP&R Department a week later, on October 25, 1995. A copy of the fax is enclosed as Attachments "C" (1) and "C" (2). For convenience, each comment/question is repeated below in italic typeface, and is followed by the Department's response. Public Participation Element Commentlquestion: Second paragraph refers to public workshops for various advisory boards. Third paragraph suggests that certain elements were each reviewed by the PAB. When did these happen? Response: The paragraphs in question are in a section headed as follows: "The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, as adopted, contained a Public Participation section, reprinted here in its entirety. Following the reprinted section is a brief description of public participation in the EAR process." The public workshops and PAB review referred to in the second and third paragraphs were part of the 1988 MCNP adoption process, and not the EAR adoption. Commentlquestion: Page 4 refers to an attached list which is not attached. Response: The list was accidentally left out of the draft Element, but will be in the final version. A copy of the list is included with these responses as Attachments "A" (1) and "A" (2). Con:mendquestion: Page 5 advised that on July 19, 1995 the PAB received, reviewed and recommended adoption of the EAR to the City Commission. This is not exactly correct. The P.AB received and recommended adoption because of a filing deadline. It was not reviewed. Response: The PAB on July 19, 1995, passed by a vote of 8-0 "A Resolution Recommending Approval in Principle, to the City Commission, of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000". Response to PAB Comments 10/18/95 9 5 830 Paige 1 O/ 10/27/95 Inasmuch as the word "reviewed" does not appear in the Resolution, Ms. Scheer's comment is technically correct. The Public Participation element wording will be changed to "...received and recommended approval in principle..." in the .final version. Land Use Element A rewritten and revised Land Use Element has been prepared that addresses Ms. Scheer's comments and questions, as well as other necessary modifications that have emerged during the review process. Traffic Circulation Subelement of the Transportation Element Comment/question: Summary Page 11 - Objective TR-1.4 Protect and enhance neighborhood character, etc. - where are recommendations to show how this is to be done and what are TOPICS type of improvement. - Response: The Objective referred to is not a recommendation; it is an adopted Objective from the 1989-2000 MCNP. It is included in the Element in response to the State requirement that progress on achievement of Objectives be reported. TOPICS is an acronym for "Traffic Operations Program to Increase Capacity and Safety". t Port and Aviation Element Commendquestion: Recommendations Page 20 of Summary No. 7, does our new program on Watson Island create a regional hub heliport base and an expanded seaplane terminal? Response: The Watson Island development plan proposes (but does not actually "create") these facilities. Commendquestion: Page 22 oj'the Summary and Page IV-99 of the Element say that because of a proposed Intermodal Center and considerable land speculation there is a threat to the viability of the River as a working river. Summary page 22 is negative - current issues No. 2. Recommendations Page 22 No. 3 (a) cover the establishment of a marine -industry zoning district - No. 4 page 23 says to delete a comprehensive study of the future of water dependent/related uses on the river. What exactly is happening? Response: The proposed Intermodal Center does indeed pose a potential threat to the working river; that is why it is listed as a "new issue". The recommendation to establish a I ;� 95- 830 Response to PAS Comments 10/18/95 Page 2 10/27/95 marine -industrial zoning district is one way to help counter that threat. The recommendation to delete an old policy dealing with a study of water dependent/related uses is made because the study has been completed, and the policy is therefore not needed. Housing Element Commendquestion: Element V120 refers to the FL, East Coast RR yards being used for additional housing :grits. If this is the property between 29th and 36th Streets, it has and is being used by the Port ofAliami for container storage. The PAB voted on related items. Response: This information is a response to the Evaluation and Appraisal Reports item 2(c) requiring a summary describing the land requirements for the total estimated housing need as presented in each element of the comprehensive plan. This is information submitted in the comprehensive plan at the date of adoption (1989 or earlier) and has nothing to do with the use of the FL East Coast RR yards since that time. Commendquestion: Element Page V-22 second paragraph - what established programs related to residential redevelopment? Response: This is the summary of the inventory for the "conditions of the element" at the date of adoAtjQn. This information was taken from the existing 1989 comprehensive plan. Commendquestion: Page II 19 reflect the need for an estimated 2, 527 owner occupied units and 4,573 rental units for new households having very low to low incomes. GVlry can't we ask Coral Gables or Miami Beach to bear this burden? Response: Again, this is the inventory for the conditions of the element at the date of adoption. In addition, it is required that local comprehensive plans be consistent with state and regional growth management requirements, such as Chapter 163, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan, Rule Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., and the applicable comprehensive (strategic) regional policy plan. The strategic plan of the applicable regional council, which is the South Florida Regional Planning Council, addresses the significant need to increase the supply of housing affordable to the very low, low and moderate income households. Commendquestion: Page V 38 advises throughout the City there exists a vast amount of vacant underutilized land. Element Page 24 recites that because the City is well established, that there are few extensive tracts readily available for new housing. This seems to be a contradiction. Response to PAB Comments 10/18/95 9 830 Page 3 13 10/27/95 ►4 Response: This. is not a contradiction. The information apparently referred to is recited on page V-20 and not V-24. This information is contained in the section titled -Conditions of Element at Date of Adoption. These were the conditions as reported in the MCNP at that time. Page V-38 is contained in flit_ section titled indifiD of Element Ai�ate of Re r�. It advises that throughout the City, there exists a vast amount of vacant underutilized land because that was the current condition at the date of this report. There are currently 5,754 vacant lots throughout the City of Miami (see Attachment "B"). Commendquestion: fVhere are the recommendations? Response: It is not clear what recommendations are being referred to here. However, Pages V-55 through V-59 Conclusions and Proposed Revisions section contains recommendations or types of changes needed in the plan to ensure that the plan adequately describes current conditions, includes appropriate objectives and policies and is consistent with all current statute and rule requirements. Proposed types of changes are of a general nature. This section also contains future actions that must be continued and/or implemented by the City. Comment/question: Page V-54 Policy No. 1.61 should be retained - two lines below same policy should be eliminated. Since this is a County matter anyway, whose error is this? Response: This is a typographical error. Policy No. 1.6.1 falls under Objective ISO-1.5. Policy No. 1.6.1 should be corrected to read Policy HO-1.5.1. Policy HO-1.6.1 which falls under Objective HO-1.6 pertains to mobile homes and is, in fact, a County matter. Comment/question: Need explanation of last paragraph Element V-58 beginning - Increase and expand..... Response: This is in -formation taken from the City of Miami's Housing Master Plan 1995-Section II - Recommendations for Promoting and Expanding Affordable Housing Units in the City. These are the recommendations from a 22-member Transition Team appointed by Mayor Stephen P. Clark and members of the City Commission, and the City Administration, to formulate a plan of action for addressing the many problems that confront the City of Miami. Response to PAB Comments 10/18/95 95- 830 Page 4 10/27/95 COMMENTS/QUESTIONS BY MS. GRACE GA.RRIDO, AND RESPONSES BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND REVITALIZATION The following comments/questions were raised by Ms. Grace Garrido, speaking from the audience at the PAB meeting of October 18, 1995. Ms. Garrido faxed a copy of her remarks to the CP&R Department eight days later, on October 26, 1995. A copy of the fax is enclosed as Attachment "D". For convenience, each comment/question is repeated below in italic typeface, and is followed by the Department's response. Summary Comment✓question: Page 4 - bottom - "Public participation meetings shown -on the attached list. " The list is missing. Response: The list was accidentally left out of the draft Element, but will be in the final version. A copy of the list is included with these responses as Attachments "A" (1) and "A" (2). Commendquestion: Page 7 - Recommendations #2. "Priorities in updating the land use plan should be to: " Add protect well-defined, low -density residential neighborhoods_rom negative impact. Response: The adopted MCNP contains at least two policies that generally address this concern: Policy HO-1.1.3: Develop comprehensive neighborhood redevelopment plans and programs that encourage private developers to build new, or rehabilitate old, residential structures and ensure that public investments are coordinated with private sector developments to increase the overall attractiveness of redeveloping neighborhoods. Policy HO-1.1.5: Continue to enforce, and where necessary strengthen those sections of the land development regulations that are intended to preserve and enhance the general appearance and character of the city's neighborhoods. If desired by the PAB, an additional policy or rewording of these can be included among the policies offered as EAR -based amendments to the MCNP next year. Response to PAB Comments 10/18/95 Page 5� 9 5— 830 10/27/95 Commendquestion: Pg, 12 # 4. Study adoption of the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area,for 4 r ain P of the City of Miami. Response: Determining whether the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) designation should be recommended for the entire city, only certain portions of it, or none of it, is the main reason for the study. It would be inappropriate to proscribe the TCEA before studying its applicability. Commendquestion: Pg. 24 - last sentence: Adequate affordable housing is particularly needed for very low, low, moderate and middle income groups. Response: The adopted MCNP contains a Policy that defines "affordable housing" as required by law (it is a definition the City must adopt, to remain eligible for housing assistance): Policy H0-1.1.1: The City defines affordable (moderate income) housing as residential units whose associated housing costs (mortgage principal repayment, interest and real property taxes for owner occupied housing, and gross rent for renter occupied housing) are equal to or less than 30 percent of the median household income in Dade County. Such "affordable" housing is necessarily subsidized, and unavailable to middle income groups, whose incomes typically exceed eligibility thresholds. Land Use Element Commendquestion: Pg. 1-4 Recommendations # 2: "Priorities in updating the land use plan should be to... " add: protect well-defined law-dwsiU residential neighborhoods -from negative impact. Response: The revised Land Use Element 10/30/95 addresses this important concern. Commendquestion: Pg. 1-10 solid waste: "The City of Miami, along with the other municipalities within the county, transports its solid waste to county -operated transfer stations... " Has the city stopped transferring solid waste to Broward County? Response: At the "time of adoption" of the MCNP, which is the section in which this statement occurs, the City was using Dade County's trash transfer stations. (This and other references to solid waste disposal have been removed from the rewritten Land Use Element 10/30/95). l . Response to PAS Comments 10/18/95 g v8 U®e 6 10/27/95 Comment/question: Pg. 1-44 C.... under single or legally -unified ownership, which are adjacent but -lee-sted-avr-e to be averaged together for purposes of calculating allowable density. " Response: The averaging provision applies to such lots, because zoning districts extend to the center of streets. This causes legally -unified ownerships to be "adjacent" to one another regardless of streets. Contment/question: [Pg. 1-44] D. Omit. Response: Paragraph D. was deleted from the Land Use Element in its first revision, September 1, 1995. Commentlquestion: [Pg. 1-441 E....granting of a modest-deS,4iy-F.A.R. bonus to non- profit... Response: "Density" and "F.A.R." bonuses are essentially equivalent in meaning. Nonetheless, this paragraph is not included in the revised Land Use Element 10/30/95. Commentlquestion: [Pg. 1-44] G.... iness-devel&pnren at the inter-seetiens of A�,e e ma, , orterial orellefer readlt,60;,S;-ens identified i the AICNA, on land ..1, .' nated A. ride "Jcucrs,�iTic L UP map previded Mat such bra -aec--Bt- A pr Div neighb .

Policy LU-1.2.12: The t^ ty; land use reg fens -will permit na�eed based health earefiaeilifies. Response: This Policy, together with all the other Goals, Objectives and Policies on pages I-46 through I-55, are reproduced from the adopted MCNP 1989-2000 (see the section heading on page I-46), and cannot be modified or deleted except through a MNCP Amendment. (This section is not included in the revised Land Use Element 10/30/95.) Housing Element Cominent/question: Pg. V-4: Why eliminate Objective HO-2.1 ? Response: An error in the editing process resulted in Objective 2.1 being accidentally listed for elimination on page V-4 of the summary section (and also in the repetition of Response to PAB Comments 10/18/95 9 5 — 830 Page % 10/27/95 /7 the summary which appears in the Summary volume of the EAR). The Objective is properly shown for retention and/or expansion in the Evaluation of Plan Objectives section (Table V, Page 4), and page V-57, Conclusions and Proposed Revisions section, of the Housing Element. u Cont►nendquestion: Pg. V-20 C.

This is information submitted in the comprehensive plan at the date of adoption. (1989 or earlier). Moreover, the statement refers strictly to the supply of vacant land required to satisfy estimated housing needs, and is not intended to convey any value judgment as to the type of housing to be removed or added. --- Conclusion of responses to Ms. Grace Garrido's comments and questions --- Comment/question by the Planning Advisory Board (paraphrased): Emphasis should be given to the city's need to protect and enhance its middle -income neighborhoods. Response: A paragraph is suggested to be added to the Housing Element's Conclusions and Proposed Revisions, under the Recommendations section, as follows: Many middle -income neighborhoods in Miami are perceived to be in decline. Preservation, enhancement, and protection from blighting influences must be an essential priority for these neighborhoods if they are to retain their residents, and to become attractive for families seeking to exchange suburban housing for life in the city. Policies should be adopted for inclusion in the MCNP supporting these priorities. 95 - 830 Response to PAB Comments 10/18/95 Page 8 10/27/95 i I I i I I I j ICP MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT The Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan is Miami's blueprint for future development.

The PAB received and recommended adoption because of a filing deadline. it was not reviewed. Land Use Element: I will defer to Grace Garrido on the items which she brought forward at the PAB meeting on 10/18/95 and bring forth my areas of concern. A discrepancy appears in the Summary Page 6 wherein a reference was made to an increase in City population. On August 29, 1995, the figure was given as 25,000 increase from 1995-2000; in the Summary dated September 20, 1.9952 the figure shown was down -graded to 109000. This would have a trerandous affect on. housing. On August 29, 1995, employment is expected to grow so that 25,000 new jobs will be created; In the September 20, 1995, Summary the figure was down -graded to 89000 to 10,000 new jobs. The third paragraph refers to the fact that the City°s supply of vacant land has increased due to demol� tion of dilapidated structures.

Following the reprinted section is a brief description of public participation in the EAR process Background Public participation in the planning process and formulation of public policy has always been viewed as an essential element of local governance in the City of Miami. In recent years, several mechanisms have been utilized to assure public participation in many aspects of local government, including comprehensive land use planning, and these mechanisms will continue to play an important role in the comprehensive planning process mandated by the "Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act" (Chapter 163, F.S.). Public participation procedures that have previously been used on an informal and periodic basis will now become formal components of the comprehensive planning process. Chapter 163 F.S., moreover, now requires public participation in the evaluation and appraisal of progress achieved in accomplishing the goals and objectives set forth in each local comprehensive plan. Within the city of Miami's local government structure, citizen advisory boards have been established to assist public officials in the formulation of public policy. These advisory boards are charged with specific responsibilities related to specific areas of concern. For example, the Planning Advisory Board and the Zoning Board are charged with responsibilities related to land development regulation within the City. Community Development Committees representing the entire City, as well as sub -areas within the City, assist in the formulation of public policies and help determine expenditures for community assistance and social/economic development. Other boards, such as the Housing Board, Parks Advisory Board, the Heritage Conservation Board, the Downtown Development Authority Board, counsel city officials on identifying problems and needs, and on devising strategies to address concerns and improve the quality of life within the City. Appointments to these advisory boards are often determined by the City Commission. In some cases, however, the boards are self perpetuating, and, in the case of community development committees, are nominated by the City residents. The composition of board members is intended to provide community representation and special expertise. The City has also established public notices and hearings procedures to inform specifically affected parties and the general public of pending official actions and policies. In addition to public notice of City Commission agendas, the agendas of Planning Advisory Board and Zoning Board meetings are also published in widely circulated newspapers. Property owners affected by changes in zoning and land uses are also notified by mail of pending actions that 95— 830? Page 2 Revised 11/01/95 "_ directly affect their properties, and public notices are posted in affected areas. Neighborhood community meetings and presentations are a general practice of City departments, prior to recommending actions to the City Commission which have clear and direct impacts on the duality of fife in specific areas ofthe City. The City will continue to primarily rely on these already established mechanisms and procedures to assure public participation in all aspects of comprehensive, planning. Public Participation in Plan Development In drafting the goals, objectives and policies for each element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan: 1989 - 2000 the City's Planning Department coordinated meetings with various advisory boards and conducted public workshops with the intent of soliciting public comment and opinions, and formulating a comprehensive plan that was sensitive to community needs and concerns. Other city departments also participated in these meetings. [Some 15 public meetings were held during the Plan formulation and adoption process.] Land use policies and proposed chancres in land development regulations, the public facilities and coastal management elements of comprehensive plan were each reviewed by the Planning Advisory Board. Through the development of a Downtown areawide DRI and Downtown Master Plan, future land use plans affecting downtown were discussed with the Downtown Development Authority Board, as well as with major downtown developers and other interested parties. A Downtown Master Plan Citizens Advisory Committee was also created to assist in the formulation of the Downtown Master Plan, and the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce was also consulted. The parks, recreation and public open space element was reviewed by the Parks Advisory Board, while the housing element was reviewed by the city's Housing Board. Neighborhood development goals, objectives and policies were presented to the City,,vide Community Development Advisory Board. Representatives of the neighborhood target areas were also asked to comment upon the social and economic conditions element. The City's historic preservation and natural resource conservation elements were presented to the Heritage Conservation Board. In addition to the meetings held with advisory boards, the City's Planning Department also coordinated a public workshop on the comprehensive plan. City residents and other interested persons from state and local agencies were invited to attend, and public notices were printed in local newspapers. This workshop presented a background on existing conditions and issues regarding each element of the comprehensive plan, and provided a working draft version of the goals, objectives and policies, and the proposed future land use map. These meetings provided an opportunity for public comment and discussion. Proposed Public Participation Strategies in Plan Amendments and Plan Evaluation The Director of the Planning Department is also the Executive Secretary of the Planning Advisory Board - the local planning agency. Future plan amendments and revisions will be presented at regular meetings of the Planning Advisory Board and in sane cases to those Revised 11/01/95 95- 830 Page 3 citizen advisory boards whose areas of concern coincide with the subject of the proposed amendments or revisions. Planning Advisory Board meetings are held in the evenings On a twice per month basis. The Planning Advisory Board meeting agendas (notice of public hearings) are printed in a newspaper of general circulation 10 days prior to the meeting, the general public may examine the agenda material at the ldcaring Boards Offce, Building and Zoning Department after that date. Additionally, for land -use Plan amendments, individual property owners who will be affected by a proposed land use Plan amendment will receive individual nlalled notice of it proposed land use amendment to the comprehensive plan; property owners so affected are given the opportunity of returning written comments and objections, further, a placard notice is posted on those properties proposed for a land use plan amendment. A recommendation from the Planning Advisory Board is a prerequisite to a City Commission hearing on an an;endment to the comprehensive plan; further, before the City commission formally considers an ordinance on first and second reading amending the comprehensive plan, the above -mentioned public notices (general newspaper publication, individual notice to affected property owners and placard notice on affected property) must have been repeated. (These procedures are referenced in Chapter 163 Florida `statutes and Chapter 62, Planning and "Zoning of the City Code. Prior to public hearings, residents and affected parties will be given ample opportunity to make written comments on proposed amendments or revisions. Following the public hearings before the City Commission, a verbatim transcript is prepared by the City Clerk of all oral comments and responses. These minutes will subsequently be available to the City Commission, the Florida Department of Community Affairs, and other interested parties. Evaluation and appraisal of progress made toward achieving the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan, and implementation of the policies contained therein will occur on at least a five-year basis. Data collection and analysis relevant to each of the plan elements, as well as preparation of the appraisal reports, will be the responsibility of the Planning Department, working in cooperation with other City departments and other local and state agencies. Citizen advisory committees will be asked to review and comment upon the data, analysis and evaluations prepared by City departments. Recommendations for revisions of current, or adoption of new, strategies for achieving the city's goals and objectives will be presented to, or jointly developed with, these advisory boards. Community workshops to inform and solicit comment on appraisal reports will also be conducted. It is the City's intention to maintain an updated comprehensive plan that is both effective and responsive to the changing needs of the community, through -periodic appraisal reports and public participation in the evaluation process Public Participation in the EAR Process All applicable public participation procedures described in the foregoing section have been, or will be, utilized in the EAR formulation and adoption process. Specific public input to date has been sought and received in the neighborhood Public Participation Meetings shown on the attached list. 95- 8300 Page 4 Revised 11/01/95 MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT The Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan is Miami's blueprint for future derelopnlent.

LAND USE ELEMENT Existing Conditions and Trends By the turn of the century, Miami's population will have increased by about 8,117 people from approximately 366,665 in 1995 to 374,782 in 2000. Residential development will continue to grow, especially multifamily residences along the bayfront and other waterfront areas of the city, in redevelopment districts, and in districts throughout the city that are zoned for medium to high density development. Commercial and office development is projected to increase as well, and there will be a modest increase in employment, particularly in downtown and the Civic Center office/institutional areas. Immigration from Cuba and other countries of the western hemisphere will continue to fitel Miami's population growth, and market forces will cause the supply of re -developable land (there is little undeveloped land left in the city) to be built at generally higher densities than before. According to the 1990 Census, the Miami's supply of vacant land use increased slightly over the past several years, due to demolition of dilapidated structures and clearing for fixture development. Much of the city's vacant properties are smaller than one acre. Additionally, the downtown district still has a substantial quantity of available land for redevelopment. All of Miami is served by infrastructure that was typically built to meet the demands of the highest -density uses that would be allowed under the then -current zoning --in most cases, these densities are the current ones, as well. For most of the city, this "build -for -maximum" policy has resulted in excess infrastructure capacity. This allows the city to encourage higher densities in many of its neighborhoods without requiring addition, or replacement, of costly infrastructure. All of Miami is designated for urban growth, as it has been for most of this century. In the next century, the growth will typically be redevelopment of earlier uses, at higher (and hence "more urban") densities. Achievement of Objectives Miami has made reasonable progress in achieving these objectives of the Land Use Element during the 1989 - 1995 evaluation period: OBJECTIVE LU-1.1: Ensure that land and development regulations are consistent with fostering a high quality of life in all areas, including the timely provision of public facilities that meet or exceed the minimum level of service (LOS) standards adopted in the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000. OBJECTIVE LU-1.3: The Cite mill encourage commercial, office and industrial development within existing commercial. office and industrial areas: increase the utilization and enhance the physical character and appearance of existing buildings; and concentrate new commercial and industrial activity in areas where the capacity of existing public facilities can meet or exceed the minimum standards for level of service (LOS) adopted in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE). Revised 11/01/95 Page 5 OBJECTIVE LU-1.4: Continue the growli of Downtown Miami, expand its role as a center of domestic and international commerce, further its development as a regional center for the performing arts and other cultural and entertainment activities and develop a urban residential base. OBJECTIVE. LU-1.5: Land development regulations will protect the city's unique natural and coastal resources, and its historic and cultural heritage. OBJECTIVE LU-LG: Regulate the development or redevelopment of real property within the City to insure consistence with the goals, obiectiee and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and to reduce the number of land uses that are inconsistent with the City's Future Land Use Plan Map. OBJECTIVE LU-2.2: Protect archaeological resources within the City from destruction and loss. OBJECTIVE LU-2.4: Increase the number of historic structures that have been preserved, rehabilitated or restored, according to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The city made progress toward, but did not fully achieve, the following Land Use Objectives: OBJECTIVE LU-1.2: Promote the redevelopment and revitalization of blighted, declining or threatened residential, commercial and industrial areas. OBJECTIVE LU-2.1: Maintain, update and amplify the City of Miami portion of the Dade County Historic Survey, which identifies and evaluates the city's historic, architectural and archaeological resources. OBJECTIVE LU-2.3: Encourage the preservation of all historic and architectural resources that have major significance to the city by increasing the number of nationally and locally designated sites by 30 percent by 199.1 and by 50 percent by the year 1999. OBJECTIVE LU-2.5: Increase public awareness of the historic architectural, archaeological resources and cultural heritage of the City, and public policy and programs to protect and preserve this heritage, through public information and education programs. Current Issues The key current issues discussed in the Land Use EAR are the following: 1) Miami's population growth will be mostly through net in -migration. As the level of immigration from abroad increases, pressure will mount to increase residential densities in the city by conversion of low -density -structures with higher density development. Together with the commercial and institutional facilities and places of employment necessary to serve this increasingly dense urban place, these land use pressures and changes constitute Miami's greatest opportunity --and its correspondingly greatest challenge --in the years ahead, 2) If the City of Miami simply stopped permitting higher -density residential development, many families would crowd into substandard units, housing prices would become increasingly unaffordable to a greater percentage of the population, homelessness and crime would increase, the areas would become unattractive to new business as well as established firms and the economy would founder, contributing to broader social problems. The alternative to this 95- 830' Page 6 Revised 11 /01 /95 unacceptable scenario is a city of revitalized residential neighborhoods containing a variety of housing styles, types, and densities, served by neighborhood and regional commercial facilities connected by adequate transportation services. Miami has developed in such a direction over its 100-year history; continuing to do so will be its challenge for the 21 st century. 3) During the past two decades, Miami's residential neighborhoods have been losing middle - income families, and the city as a whole is becoming increasingly a home for the very well-off and the very poor. Despite this trend, there is evidence that many of Miami's middle -income neighborhoods are halting their decline, and are becoming more, rather than less, attractive to families. A high priority needs to be placed on planning for the protection of these neighborhoods, and the revitalization of areas that are in need of similar improvement. Recommendations By and large, while the overall objectives and philosophy of the MCNP remain unchanged, a much more concerted effort must be given to implementing actions such as code enforcement, landscaping and urban beautification, and neighborhood identity enhancement. The key recommendations of the Land Use EAR are the following: 1. As a result of adoption of the MCNP in 1989, followed closely by the adoption of a new zoning ordinance, a number of errors were accidentally created between the MCNP Future Land Use Plan Map and the city's Zoning Atlas. Most of these inconsistencies were resolved through an omnibus MCNP plan amendment in the early 1990's; but some inconsistencies escaped detection and remain to be resolved. With the implementation of the City's GIS capabilities, it will be possible to finally bring these two maps into consistency with one another. In updating the Land Use Element Future Land Use Plan Map, the land use recommendations of the Station Area Design and Development (SADD) Plans adopted for the Metrorail station areas of the city should be reflected 2. Policies should be added to the MCNP to reorient the neighborhood planning program toward physical plans emphasizing land use, urban design, and community action for small strategic planning areas. Also to be emphasized should be solutions to problems of code enforcement, vacant lot maintenance, and trash pickup that escapes normal collection procedures. This fine- grained approach to revitalizing Miami's neighborhoods can promote better neighborhoods, increase the community's ability to house population increases, and provide a overall better quality of life for its citizens. Some of the Objectives and Policies of the MCNP are obsolete, mainly because they contain 1980's-era data that needs to be updated. This work should also be the subject of MCNP EAR - based amendments. 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Page 7 Ir I1. ']TRAFFIC CIRCULATION SUBELEMVIENT OF TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Introduction Under the Charter of Metropolitan Dade County, Metro -Dade is granted authority and responsibility for all transportation planning and implementation within the county. In this role the county has authority over the arterial and collector highway systems in the metropolitan area, and prepares the areawide plan in which these facilities and the State's highways must be included, and to which they must conform. Municipalities in Dade County, of which Miami is the largest, have no direct authority over these arterial systems --which are the facilities subject to mandatory level -or -service (LOS) standards --for planning, management, or improvement. Therefore, unlike other Florida municipalities, the City of Miami possesses no authority to plan, build, operate and maintain, or improve its major thoroughfare system. Despite this lack of authority, however, the City of Miami, as a local government in Florida, is nonetheless required to adopt a Transportation Element that includes establishment of required LOS standards for facilities over which it has no control. As part of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, (MCNP), the City referenced the Metro -Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) for the Data and Analysis portion of the MCNP. But the City was not satisfied with the conventional vehicular volume/capacity methodology for measuring LOS that the county used, and substituted instead a new methodology based on person -trips in transportation corridors. This innovative methodology, which was accepted by the DCA, has been in use since adoption of the MCNP. Earlier this year (1995), Metro Dade County obtained a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) designation for all of the county lying east of the Palmetto Expressway/SW 75 Avenue, which includes all of the City of Miami. Under this designation, LOS standards will not be subject to the concurrency requirements governing development in the unincorporated area and, should the eligible municipalities choose to adopt the TCEA designation, in their territories as well. In the evaluation and appraisal of the Transportation Element of the MCNP, the City notes that its unique LOS standards have worked well as a substitute for conventional methodology. With adoption of the TCEA designation, however, the City might wish to resume use of the conventional LOS methodology for convenience, since under the TCEA it no longer would 95- 8301 Page 6 Revised 11 /01 /95 d forestall Miami's redevelopment as a compact urban center. Alternatively, since the Transportation Corridors methodology provides incentives toward efficient use of multi -modal transportation systems, it could be retained despite the inconvenience of using an unorthodox approach. These alternatives need more thoughtful input before decisions are made in the amendment process to be undertaken in 1996. Background for this Element The adopted 1989 MCNP presented the Data and Analysis portion of the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Elements separately, as then required by the state. The Goals, Objectives, and Policies, however, were joined in a single Transportation Element, reflecting the City's philosophy that mass transit is a full partner with streets and highways in the transportation realm. Subsequently, the state has done the same, but for EAR reporting purposes, the earlier division is still in effect. Hence, the City of Miami EAR includes Parts II and III as Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit, respectively, but evaluates Plan Objectives under a single Transportation Element heading. With the exception of this Summary, the Evaluation of Plan Objectives from the adopted MCNP, and Recommendations for Future Action, the material in this Element is reproduced directly from the Metro -Dade County EAR. Existing Conditions and Trends j The City's roadway network has undergone only a few, minor capacity improvements through the construction of additional roadway lanes, new expressway interchanges and new roadway extensions. Between 1989 and 1994 fewer than a dozen such improvements were constructed on the State and County highway system within the city. While this construction activity has improved operating conditions in some areas, there is still troublesome traffic congestion along the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), Flagler Street, and SW 8 Street (Calle Ocho). Plans by Metro - Dade County and the Florida Department of Transportation to mitigate these are in various stages of preparation. Achievement of Objectives The City of Miami has made reasonable progress in achieving the following objectives of the Traffic Circulation portion of the Transportation Element during the 1989-1994 evaluation period: Objective TR-1.1. and Relevant Policies TR-1.1.2 and 1.1.3: Transportation levels -of -service within, and outside of, designated Transportation Corridors; 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 '" N Objective TR-1.2.: Designation and reservation of rights -of -way and corridors needed for existing transportation networks; Objective TR-1.3.: Emphasize safe and efficient traffic flow through enforcement of design standards and offering of transportation mode options; and Objective TR-1.4.: Protect and enhance neighborhood character by coordination of neighborhood plans with Land Use Plan, mitigate traffic intrusion, and use TOPICS type of improvements. Current Issues Among the key current issues in the Traffic Circulation portion of the Transportation Element EAR are the following: • The report discusses the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area provision now in effect for the unincorporated portion of the Urban Infill Area and its possible application to the City of Miami. • The report discusses the person -trip based Transportation Corridors methodology for measuring LOS and its applicability to fixture needs in management of the transportation system. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Traffic Circulation portion of the Transportation Element EAR are the following: 1. Prepare and adopt a new transportation element as required by Section 163.3177 (6) 0), F.S. and Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. Amendments to the current element will be required to meet new minimum criteria for preparing the transportation element. Some of the more significant requirements include: Page 10 a. map existing significant parking facilities, intermodal facilities, designated local and regional evacuation transportation facilities, directional peak hours LOS, and b. analysis of available transportation facilities and services to serve existing land uses; adequacy of existing and future transportation system to evacuate coastal population; analyses of growth trends, travel patterns and land use and transportation interactions; land use compatibility around airports; analysis of existing and projected intermodal deficiencies; analysis of projected transportation system needs; and identification of transportation management programs to promote and support public transportation systems in designated public transportation corridors. 95- 83-0 Revised 11/01/95 4 S f c. new policies addressing: parking strategies to promote public transportation; establish measures for rights -of -way and corridor acquisition, preservation, or { protection, strategies to promote use of bicycles and walking; establishment of { transportation demand management and transportation system management strategies f' to reduce peak hour demand and vehicle miles traveled and to improve system efficiency; coordination of roadway and transit improvements with needs of airports and ports, establishment of numerical indicators for achievement of mobility goals; and establishment of strategies to facilitate local traffic to use alternatives to the Florida Intrastate HigliNvay System. d. map projected peak hour LOS for transportation facilities for which LOS standards are adopted, and designated future local and regional evacuation transportation facilities. 2. Amend roadway LOS standard to delete reference to short-term (1989-1994) standard and adopt the FDOT LOS standards for the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIRS) facilities in Dade County. 3. Incorporate and adopt the highway network recommendations of the update of the MPO's 2015 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan, consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the CDMP and the MCNP. i 4. Study adoption of the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area designation for the City of Miami. j 5. Study the methodology for measuring LOS to determine whether to continue with the t Transportation Corridors methodology or to adopt a conventional methodology. is 95- 830. Revised 11/01/95 Page 11 W i III. MASS TRANSIT SUBELEMENT OF THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Introduction Under the Charter of Metropolitan Dade County, Metro -Dade is granted authority and responsibility for all transportation planning and implementation within the county. In this role the county has authority over any public transportation in the metropolitan area for which a user fee is charged. Indeed, the County's authority is so broad that municipalities in Dade County, of which Miami is the largest, are specifically precluded from establishing, maintaining; and operating, or permitting any public transportation systems. Therefore, unlike other Florida municipalities, the City of Miami possesses no authority to plan, build, operate and maintain, or contract for, a public transit system. Despite this lack of authority, however, the City of Miami, as a local government in Florida, is nonetheless required to adopt a Transportation Element that includes establishment of required level of service (LOS) standards for mass transit services over which it has no control. As part of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, (MCNP), the City referenced the Metro -Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) for the Data and Analysis portion of the MCNP, and set transit LOS standards that were identical to the county's. In the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, the county's work is again utilized. Background for this Element The adopted 1989 MCNP presented the Data and Analysis portion of the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Elements separately, as then required by the state. The Goals, Objectives, and Policies, however, were joined in a single Transportation Element, reflecting the City's philosophy that mass transit is a full partner with streets and highways in the transportation realm. Subsequently, the state has done the same, but for EAR reporting purposes, the earlier division is still in effect. Hence, the City of Miami EAR includes Parts II and III as Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit, respectively, but evaluates Plan Objectives under a single Transportation Element heading. With the exception of this Summary, the Evaluation of Plan Objectives from the adopted MCNP, and Recommendations for Future Action, the material in this Element is reproduced directly from the Metro -Dade County EAR. 95- 830 Page 12 Revised 11/01/95 r- Existing Conditions and Trends • In 1994 the Metro -Dade transit system consisted of three major components: a fleet of over 600 Metrobuses serving 73 regularly scheduled fixed routes; and Metrorail and Metromover, two major fixed guideway transit facilities. The Metrorail consists of an elevated, electrically powered 21.1 mile heavy rail system serving 21 stations, 10 of them in the City of Miami, while Metromover is a 4.4 mile downtown people mover system designed to serve the central core of downtown Miami with 21 stations. Additionally, the Special Transportation Services (STS) is provided as a shared ride curb -to -curb transportation service for the disabled and mobility impaired riders. Finally, Tri-Rail Commuter Service, an inter -county commuter service started in 1990, provides long distance commuter rail service to Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties and links directly with Dade County's Metrorail system at the NW 79th Street station. Since 1988 one Metrorail Station—Tri-Rail—was added to the system, and Metromover completed the Omni and Brickell extensions adding 12 Metromover stations. Figure 3 shows the existing Metrobus and Metrorail system in Dade County. Achievement of Objectives The City of Miami has made reasonable progress in achieving the following objectives of the Mass Transit portion of the Transportation Element during the 1989-1994 evaluation period: Objective TR-1.1 and Relevant Policies TR-1.1.2 and 1.1.3: Transportation levels -of -service within, and outside of, designated Transportation Corridors; Objective TR-1.5 and Relevant Policy TR-1.5.3: Support Dade County in the provision of efficient mass transit and paratransit services. Objective TR-1.6: Coordinate City plans with Dade County plans for transportation disadvantaged people. Objective TR-1.7: Cooperate with Dade County to protect existing and future transit rights - of -way and exclusive mass transit corridors. Current Issues The key current issue discussed in the Mass Transit EAR is as follows: • The single most significant issue regarding the provision of transit service in Dade County continues to be the lack of a dedicated source of local revenues to support present and future operations of the system. Attempts to implement a one cent sales tax to be dedicated for transportation was turned down by the voters on two different occasions, once in 1990 and in 1991. 95- 830 Revised 11/D1/95 Page 13 • Another significant issue is the heavy reliance of inner-city residents on mass transit modes that are threatened by escalating operating costs, congested roadway conditions, and shrinking federal support. Reasonable alternative services are not addressed. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Mass Transit subelement of the Transportation Element EAR are the following: 1. Prepare and adopt a transportation element meeting the requirements of Section 163.3177 (6) 0), F.S. and Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. and merge all relevant Mass Transit Element objectives and policies into the transportation element. Listed below are some of the significant Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. transportation element requirements related to mass transit that need to be addressed in the new element: a)map existing intermodal terminals and access to intermodal facilities; freight passenger rail lines and terminals; and identify existing peak hour, peak direction level of service for mass transit facilities and corridors or routes; b)analyses relating to existing modal split and vehicle occupancy rates; existing public transit facilities including ridership by route, peak hour capacities and headways; population characteristics, including transportation disadvantaged; and the existing characteristics of the major trip generators and attractors within the community; existing and projected intermodal and projected intermodal deficiencies and needs such as terminals, connections, high occupancy vehicle lanes, park and ride lots and other facilities; projected transportation system LOS and system needs based upon the future land use categories, including the densities or intensities of use as shown on the future land use map or map series, and the projected integrated transportation system; and transportation management programs necessary to promote and support public transportation systems in designated public transportation corridors; c)policies addressing the establishment of land use, site and building design guidelines for development in exclusive public transit corridors to assure the accessibility of new development to public transit; establishment of numerical indicators against which the achievement of the mobility goals of the community can be measured, such as modal split, annual transit trips per capita, automobile occupancy rates; a coordinated and consistent policy with the future land use element to encourage land uses which promote public transportation in designated public transportation corridors; and the development of strategies to address intermodal terminals and access to aviation, rail and seaport facilities. 2. Incorporate the technical results and transit -related recommendations of the update of the MPO's 2015 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan, consistent with the CDMP and the MCNP. Page 14 Revised 11101/95, i Continue to support Metro Dade County in its policy initiatives seeking a dedicated revenue source for transit. IV. PORT AND AVIATION ELEMENT AVIATION FACILITIES SUBELEMENT Introduction Metropolitan Dade County, under its charter, is the only local government with authority to provide or regulate transportation within the county. Moreover, Dade County is the owner and operator of both the Port of Miami, and the airports within the county. The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (MCNP), in satisfaction of State of Florida. requirements, includes a Ports and Aviation Element, although the City of Miami possesses no power, authority, or responsibility for owning, operating, or regulating any port or general aviation facility. The City may, with County concurrence, own and/or operate a special -use or alternative aviation facility such as a heliport or a seaplane base. Material in this summary, and in the evaluation and appraisal report on the Ports and Aviation Element, is drawn from Metro -Dade County's EAR report, except for the Evaluation of Plan Objectives for the .Port of Miami River within the City of Miami, which are from the adopted MCNP. Existing Conditions and Trends In 1995 the Dade County aviation system consists of the same six major aviation facilities owned and operated by Dade County in 1988 and the recently realigned Homestead Air Force Base. Specifically, these facilities are: Miami International Airport (MIA) Opa-Locka West Airport Opa-Locka Airport Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport (formerly Tamiami Airport) Homestead General Aviation Airport Dade -Collier Training and Transition Airport Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB) Activity Forecasting. Since 1970, domestic passenger traffic at MIA has more than doubled (from 7.3 million to 15.9 million) while international passenger traffic has nearly tripled (3.4 Page 16 Rev� ised 11/01/95 million to 10.0 million). Passengers and cargo forecast at MIA were updated based on methodologies that emphasized its international role, while maintaining a reasonable but moderate domestic activity growth. Table I below summarizes the forecast levels of air carrier and cargo activity for MIA. Table 1 Air Carrier and Cargo Activity Forecast at MIA - 1995 Total 33,000,000 40,000,000 55,000,000 Passengers Low Forecast 1997 2004 2021 Preferred Forecast 1995 2000 2010 High Forecast 1994 1999 2006 Cargo (tons) 1.000.000 1.854.000 2,483,000 Total Operations 526,200 579.100 677.800 Source: Miami International Airport ;`faster Plan Update, June 1994. Draft Dade County Aviation System Plan Update, 1995. On the other hand, general aviation is expected to recover from losses caused by Hurricane Andrew and grow, but at a very slow rate. Even under the most optimistic of assumptions, a growth rate of one percent per year would likely represent an upper limit as shown in Table 2. Table 2 General Aviation Activity Forecast Annual Aircraft Operations Planning Activity Level Most Optimistic Most Likely (Year Attained) (Year Attained) 750,000 1995 1997 875.000 2011 2028 1.000,000 2024 >2030 Source: Draft Dade County Aviation System Plan Update, 1995 Capacity and Facility Requirements. At the given growth rates, there is no doubt that MIA will have to be complemented in the long run. Having exhausted the means to develop a supplemental air carrier facility to MIA, the realignment of the Homestead Air Force Base as a dual use (civilian/military) aviation facility brings to the County's Aviation Department an opportunity to supplement operations at Miami International Airport and at the County's general aviation facilities at a future date. Consideration is also being given, through the ongoing system planning process, to a potential role change for the Opa-Locka Airport in order to accommodate some limited commercial service as an MIA reliever. 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Page 17 r--•1 � Achievement of Objectives The County did well in accomplishing the following objectives of the Aviation Facilities Subelement during the 1989-1994 evaluation period: 1. to accommodate forecast demand at its aviation facilities; 2, to maintain and enhance the role of the County's aviation facilities; 3, to complete airside and landside improvements leading to minimization of aircraft delays at the County's aviation facilities; 4. to implement land use, zoning and permitting evaluation processes leading to a minimization of airspace interactions and obstruction around its aviation facilities; 5. to operate at or higher than 80 percent of operational capacity prior to major capital improvements; 6. to balance airfield/terminal capacity and transportation access at its aviation facilities; 7. to comply with programs, regulations and permits aimed at improving the compatibility of all its aviation facilities with the natural environment; 8. to implement programs to maximize land use compatibility around its aviation facilities. 9. to support local and regional economic growth; and 10. to provide flexibility in the expansion of the aviation system. Current Issues Among the key current issues discussed in the Aviation Facilities Subelement EAR are the following: 1. Proposed change in the functional classification/role of the Opa-Locka Airport from general aviation reliever to potential commercial air service reliever to Miami International Airport. 2. The report discusses alternative regulations to land use compatibility around air carrier and general aviation airports. 3. The report discusses Hurricane Andrew and its impact on Dade County's aviation facilities as well as on the Homestead Air Force Base, 4. InadequateIy sized facilities and obsolescence at the Watson Island seaplane base and heliport as a regional hub facility for alternative air transportation systems. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Aviation Facilities Subelement EAR are the following: 95- 830 a�,g Revised 11/01/95 1, Prepare and adopt a single transportation element meeting the requirements of section 163.3177(6)Q), F.5., and Rule 9J-5.019, EA.C., and merge all relevant Aviation Facilities Subelement objective and policies, except for deletions noted below and in the report. 2. All but one of the adopted objectives are still relevant and should be retained with minor or no text changes or updates. 3. Deletion of Objective 3 and its policies is proposed in lieu of an updated Objective 1 that incorporates the minimization of delays issue. 4. Update policies relating to (a) MIA's enplanement forecast levels; (b) general aviation facilities' operation levels; (c) capacity enhancement consistency issue; (d) air carrier facilities; (e) general aviation facilities; (0 Homestead Air Reserve Base's future facility development plan; (g) prioritization of roadway capacity enhancements; (h) transit linkages; (i) roadway access consistency; j) significant environmental impacts; (k) land use compatibility; and (1) maximization of economic development in the vicinity of the County's aviation facilities. 5. Delete policies dealing with (a) air carrier and general aviation operational delays; (b) delineation, designation and establishment of areas suitable for tall communication towers; and (c) compatibility of supplemental facility. 6. Add policies under Objectives 5 and 8 to deal with emergency situations, such as Hurricane Andrews, and to acknowledge the Dade County Aviation Department's "good neighbor" initiative, respectively. 7. Renovate and expand air transportation systems at Watson Island to create a regional hub heliport base and an expanded seaplane terminal. 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Page 19 PORT OF MIAMI RIVER SUBELEMENT Existing Conditions and Trends The Port of Miami River consists of about 28 independent shipping terminals located along the navigable 5.5 miles of the Miami River in Dade County. These shipping terminals provide service to approximately 60 small ports of the Caribbean Basin and Latin America. These terminals continue to be utilized for seafood, general cargo container, roll-on/off cargo, and sand and aggregate activities. Shipping terminals on the River account for about 1800 vessel departures per year and an estimated volume of 1.7 million tons of cargo, with an estimated value of $2.3 billion. The Port of Miami River is expected to continue to retain its share of growing international trade activity occurring in Dade County. However, this will not come easy as it was in the 1980's. The Port of Miami River is starting to face certain constraints in regard to expansion of commercial shipping as noted in the Current Issues section below. Achievement of Objectives The County did well in accomplishing the following objectives of the Port of Miami River Subelement during the 1989-1994 evaluation period: 1. to protect cargo terminal facilities along its portion of the Miami River from any encroachment of incompatible land uses. 2. to promote marine activity on the river and improved transportation linkages between the Port terminals and the County's highway system. The County made progress in accomplishing the following objective: 3. to partially take steps toward the minimization of negative impacts to estuarine water duality, marine resources and adjacent land uses. Solution of the proposed river dredging and the removal of detrimental stormwater outfall issues will greatly contribute to the achievement of this Objective. The City of Miami also did well in achieving the adopted objectives for that part of the Port of Miami River within the city, and for the two objectives assuring coordination of the City's land use adjacent to the Pot of Miami and Miami International Airport. r Current Issues Among the key current issues discussed in the Port of Miami River Subelement EAR are the following: i , The Proposed Manatee Protection Plan: The potential impact of this proposed Plan on the Port of Miami River activities has emerged as a major significant issue. As perceived by the shipping community some of the proposed requirements and mandates may adversely impact the future of shipping terminals along the Miami River. 2, Proposed Miami Intermodal Center (MIC): The proximity of the proposed Miami Intermodal Center to the Port of Miami River facilities along N V South River Drive, west of NV 27th Avenue, has also emerged as a significant issue. Thus far, this proposal is generating considerable land speculation in the area; thus threatening the likeliness of port support facilities to locate or remain in this area, and therefore, the viability of the River as a "working" river. 3. Proposed Dredging of the Miami River: The proposed dredging of the navigable portion of the River channel and the potential impact of this proposed activity on the quality of the River's water as well as the degree of contamination of the river's bottom sediments have emerged as competing interest which along with the lack of funding stand in the way of this project. 4. 1992's Hurricane Andrew and 1994's Haitian Embargo: These unanticipated and unforeseen problems revealed the high degree of susceptibility that river businesses have to natural events and human actions of this magnitude. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Port of Miami River Subelement EAR are the following: 1. Prepare and adopt a single transportation element meeting the requirements of Section 163.3177(7)0), F.S., and Rule 97-5.019, F.A.C., and merge all relevant Port of Miami River Subelement objective and policies, except for deletions noted below and in the report. 2. In general, all adopted objectives are still relevant and should be retained with either minor or no text changes or updates. 3. Update policies relating to (a) the establishment of a marine -industrial zoning district; (b) the former Department of Environmental Regulations; (c) highway planning, funding and construction around Port facilities; (d) minimization of traffic conflicts; (e) shoreline stabilization along the river; and (f) County's drainage alternative to full on -site retention. 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Page 21 I • 4. Delete policies dealing with (a) a comprehensive study of the future of water dependent/related uses on the river and (b) endangered species signage. i 5. Ensure consistency of the MCNP and the Dade County CDM[P on Port of Miami River policies within the City of Miami. i i i i r i s i i i i I t i i 95- 830 Page 22 Revised 11 /01 /95 F f V. HOUSING ELEMENT ! This Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) has been prepared to evaluate and assess the success or failure of the Comprehensive Plan to adequately describe current conditions within the community, changes in local conditions and to ensure consistency with all current statutes and rule requirements. s Components of the housing element include: • Condition of the element at the time of adoption. • Condition of the element at the date of EAR. t • Comparison of objective with actual results. • Major problems of development, physical deterioration, location of land uses, and the social and economic effects of identified problems. • Unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities. • Consistency with current statutory and rule requirements. • Conclusions and proposed revisions. i Existing Conditions and Trends Based upon 1990 U.S. Census data and Housing Affordability Strategies previously submitted to U.S. HUD, it is quite apparent that the housing assistance needs of the City of Miami are quire extensive. Miami ranks 4th in the U.S. Poverty Ranking for Cities with populations over 100,000. 1 Within the City of Miami, nearly 65% of its households, are Very Low and/or Other Low income households with annual incomes less than or equal to 80% median family income and are heavily cost burdened. In terms of unit affordability, in 1990 there were 34,674 rental units and 4,994 owner units, a total of 39,668 units affordable for 59,602 very low income households. A deficit of 19,934 housing units for very low income households existed even before the occurrence of Hurricane Andrew. Due to the lack of a recent housing survey depicting unit conditions it is assumed that the physical deterioration of the housing stock is due primarily to negligence. The major problem of development the City of Miami faces is that the residential areas of Miami, generally are older and more densely developed than those of Dade County. These characteristics reflect the central urban role of Miami in the County. Because the City is well established, there are few extensive tracts readily available for new housing. Thus development is limited to the assemblage of small lots and the infix of new units where space is available. Adequate affordable housing is particularly needed for very low, low and moderate income groups within a reasonable commute of employment centers and public transportation. The most significant developments during the evaluation and appraisal period include the following: Building Codes Miami's post -hurricane housing market has begun to feel the effects of a tougher South Florida Building Code adopted June 1, 1993, by Metropolitan Dade County in response to the extensive damage caused to residential structure by Hurricane Andrew. Building Moratorium A building moratorium was imposed in Central Dade County (including the City of Miami) due to the near collapse of an antiquated sewer system. It is not yet certain what effect this moratorium has had on the development of new construction projects. Dade County Food and Beverage Tax Metropolitan Dade County levied a 1% tax on food and beverages sold in establishments exceeding $400,000 in gross revenues. One percent of this tax is earmarked for the use of homeless programs and services. This effort provides the first locally dedicated source of revenues to assist the homeless population. Achievement of Objectives A comparison of the housing elements adopted objectives with actual results found most objectives achieved. Objective HO-1.1: Provide a local regulatory investment, and neighborhood environment that will assist the private sector in increasing the stock of affordable housing within the City at least 10 percent by 1994 and 20 percent by the year I999. This objective was partially achieved primarily due to local and other constraints. The following objectives were achieved: Objective HO -1.2: Conserved the present stock of low and moderate income housing within the City and reduced the number of substandard units through rehabilitation, reduced the number of unsafe structures through demolition, and insured the preservation of historically significant housing through identification and designation. 95- 830 Page 24 Revised 11 /01 /95 Objective HO - 1.3: Facilitated the private and public sector provision of housing in non -isolated residential areas for community based residential and foster care facilities (including those funded by the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services) Objective HO -I.4: Participated in a regional effort to provide adequate shelter for the homeless. Objective HO -1.5: Provide for assistance to displaced occupants where public redevelopment programs require relocation. Over the past 6 no public redevelopment took place displacing occupants. The following objective is recommended for elimination. Objective HO -1.6: Allow for replacement of Mobile homes on a one -for -one basis. Metro Dade County makes decisions regarding replacement. Current Issues At this point, the City of Miami is experiencing a substantial increase in demand which has clearly outpaced the available supply of housing units, therefore, creating a very tight housing market with few vacancies and relatively high rents. The housing element places emphasis on the "housing delivery system" which includes all of the parts of a community's structure that affect the supply of housing in a community. These parts include residents, developers/development corporations, local government, financial institutions, etc. Decent, affordable housing is essential to creating livable neighborhoods and supporting families. Other issues are identified in the element in the section entitled New Issues and unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities. Recommendations The housing element has essentially been implemented during the evaluation period. There are some proposed revisions of goals, objectives and policies needed to strengthen areas and to include changes in working. Much of the previous material should be retained. After reviewing and assessing the housing elements seven objectives, it is recommended that six be retained. Housing objective 1.6 Allow for replacement of mobile homes on a one -for- one basis should be eliminated. The two housing goals should be retained. Goal HO-1 should be reworded to include very low income households. There are 43 policy statements, 3 of which should be deleted and placed in a section called definitions. The following policies have been recommended for elimination: 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Page 25 Y j Policy HO-1.3.3: The City will direct its state lobbyist to seek legislative support for implementing the recommendations contained in the Annual Report of the Committee of Housing for the Elderly (December 1987).. Policy 14O-1.3.4: The City will support in the development of community -based residential facilities, foster- care facilities, and ACLF's for low and moderate -income residents through its existing housing programs. Policy HO-1.4.2: The City will direct its state lobbyist to seek legislative support for the state to continue implementing the recommendations of the State Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services Sponsored Report Final Report, Florida's Homeless: A plan for action (Statewide Task Force on the Homeless, June, 1995) Policy HO-1.6..1: The City's land development regulations will continue to allow for the replacement of mobile homes on existing sites on a one -for -one basis. S i A new policy should be added to reflect fair share distribution of homeless shelters in the region. x All remaining policies should be strengthened and retained. f 95- 839 Page26 Revised 11/01/95 VI. CONSERVATION ELEMENT Existing Conditions and Trends The Conservation Element's adopted goal is to conserve and protect natural ecosystems and resources, aquifer recharge and water storage areas, and natural drainage functions within Dade County, including the City of haiami. The Element is organized into the following sections used to provide a synopsis of existing conditions and trends: 1. Air Quality: Dade County has aggressively implemented and participated in Stratospheric Ozone Protection, stationary source reduction and vapor recovery programs aimed at controlling ozone precursors. As a result, during the past six years there has been only one exceedance (1990) of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone in Dade County. There were three exceedances of the NAAQS (1989 - 1990) for Total Suspended Particulates. There have been no recorded exceedances of any of NAAQS since 1991. 2. Water Quality: Dade County has conducted extensive water sampling since 1989 on ambient surface water (general canal), ambient ground water, and specific ground water programs. Surface water quality in freshwater canals is generally good. During 1992-93, exceedances of surface water quality were observed in 2.7% of the samples from intensive and general canal programs and recorded Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of chloride, ammonia, manganese, lead and selenium. Most of the groundwater well sampling met water quality standards. Dade County is actively conducting groundwater pollution remediation programs. 3. WelIfield Protection and Aquifer Recharge: The public wellfields in Dade County consistently met water quality standards for the provision of drinking water. Dade County is evaluating the feasibility of defining new Maximum Wellfield Protection Zones as a means to improve data reliability for better evaluating samples 4. Flood Protection and Drainage: Stormwater drainage has been identified as a main source of water pollution in Dade County. Dade County, the City of Miami and several other municipalities are developing and implementin- Stormwater Facilities Master Plans. 5. Soils and Mineral Resources: In 1992, the Soil Conservation Services (SC S) published new soils maps for Dade County. Since Dade County has a large amount of agricultural lands, retention and agricultural lands is important to this industry that supplies much of the nation with winter vegetables. 95-- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Page 27 6. Wetlands: Between 1989 and 1994, Dade County did not issue any permits for dredge and fill projects in relatively unstressed wetlands (higher value of native species). Two hundred twenty permits were issued in areas designated as stressed wetlands (lower value: more impacted due to exotic species invasion) allowing 5,825 acres of jurisdictional wetlands to be dredged or tilled. Over 75% of these projects were for rock mining and the other 25% agricultural. Dade County will continue to protect wetlands through the regulatory process. These lands are vital to the County's urban water supply and natural community. Tile Everglades Restoration Project is tied to restoring historic water regimes through natural wetlands. 7. Upland Forests: There are approximately 4,400 acres of pinelands and 1,000 acres of hammocks in Dade County outside the Everglades National Park. Approximately half these areas are in private ownership and may be eligible for purchase through the County's Environmentally Endangered Lands Program (EEL) passed by Dade County voters in 1990 for $90 million to purchase and manage remaining natural areas. As funding allows, Dade County will continue to acquire remaining environmentally sensitive lands. 8. Fish and Wildlife/Endangered Plant and Animal Species: There are currently 14 federally listed: endangered and 5 federally listed threatened species that reside in Dade County. Critical habitat has been designated in Dade County for four of the endangered species. During the past three decades south Florida has experienced an explosive growth in the number and range of exotic pest plants. These non- native species invade natural areas, grow aggressively, and eventually smother and destroy native plant communities eliminating natural wildlife habitat and food sources. Exotic animals also threaten natural areas, but they have not yet reached the same level of concern for Dade County as exotic plants. Dade County has begun to actively manage its natural areas to remove exotic pest plants and restore natural communities so that they may be successfully preserved. Achievement of Objectives The County made good progress in achieving the following objectives of the Conservation Element during the 1988 - 1994 evaluation period. Objective 1. To improve air quality to meet standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by 1994, meet future standards, and reduce human exposure to air pollution. Objective 3. To regulate wellf eld protection areas and implement recommendations of the NW Wellfield Protection Plan. Page 28 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Objective 7. To achieve no net loss of high quality relatively unstressed wetlands in Dade Colmty. The County made reasonable progress in achieving the following objectives of the Conservation Element, Objective 2. To meet all applicable federal, state and local ground and surface water quality standards. Objective 4. To achieve no net loss of water -storage or aquifer -recharge potential as a result of drainage to accommodate urban development or agricultural use and to maintain or enhance the integrity, capacity and periodicity of natural surface water drainage and implement water conservation treasures. Objective 5. To develop within the Urban Development Boundary (UDB) cut and fill criteria and basin management plans that provide flood protection in areas that cannot be adequately drained by the primary canal system and to correct system deficiencies in County maintained drainage facilities and coordinate the extension of facilities to meet future demands throughout the unincorporated area. Outside the UDB, the County shall not provide, or seek additional drainage facilities that would exacerbate urban sprawl. Objective 6. To conserve and appropriately utilize soils and mineral resources. Objective 8, To update Dade County's National Forest Inventory and maintain and protect upland forests. Objective 9.To conserve and use in an environmentally sound manner, freshwater fishes and wildlife and preserve the net amount of habitat critical to federal, state or County designated endangered, threatened, or rare species or species of special concern. Current Issues Several key issues were identified within the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) as new issues and unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities. The most pertinent are listed as follows: • Air Quality will continue to be a key current issue for Dade County, as it is nationwide. Dade County has established several programs to deal with air toxics, ozone depletion, and the control of volatile organic compounds, and is participating in the EPA's national Air Toxics Strategy Program to monitor the air for urban toxic air pollution. Dade County has begun to develop an air Revised 11/01/95 95- 830 Page 29 quality computerized data base that will enable timely and effective corrective actions, when necessary, to improve air quality within Dade County. • Wellfield Protection issues include ground water monitoring networks to assess long-term quality trends and provide a means of detecting underground contamination that might not otherwise be detected by inspections of hazardous facilities or investigations of illegal dumping of hazardous materials. Dade County has implemented active monitoring programs to determine overall water quality in wellfield recharge areas and risk, if any, to drinking water supplies. • Enhancing water storage capacity is another key issue that affects both natural communities and urban areas. Dade County is working with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to evaluate alternative methods for managing; and storing water. Y Hurricane Andrew severely impacted all of the remaining, tropical hardwood and pine rocklands in southern Dade County. Trees were snapped off and the canopy removed. In the months that followed the storm, almost 90% of mature pines died as a result of insect damage to the weakened trees. In hardwood forests, exotic vines rapidly engulfed downed native trees and seedlings threatening to destroy the entire ecosystem. The seriousness of the situation led to over $6 million in funding to conduct a large-scale Post -Hurricane Natural Areas Restoration Plan developed by the Dade County Park and Recreation Department for its parkland in natural areas. Ongoing, dedicated funds are needed to actively manage the County's 6,000 plus acres of parkland natural areas. 9 Stormwater Drainage will continue being a key issue for Dade County. In 1993, Dade County initiated a stormwater master planning process that will determine the level of service being provided by the primary canals and sub -basins within those canals in the unincorporated portions of Dade County. The issue of stormwater runoff was addressed under water quality. Recommendations The key recommendations for revising Objectives for the Conservation Element are: 1. Recommend a New Flood Protection and Water Quality Level of Service Standard. 2. Place high priority on acquiring and managing Resources of Regional Significance, and lands on the State Save Our Rivers and County Environmentally Endangered Lands lists. Page 30 VII. INFRASTRUCT[.JRE ELEMENT (EXCLUDING SOLID WASTE) Existing Conditions and Trends The City of Miami potable water system did not acquire or discontinue the use of any major facilities from 1989 to 1992, relying on two primary County water treatment plants and three wellfield areas within Dade County. Total potable water use in the County area system increased by about ten percent during the period, and the City of Miami that is served by the system increased by about five percent. The City's sewer system also remained largely unchanged, with three wastewater treatment facilities operated by the County. Total demand of these facilities increased about eighteen percent during the period 1989-1994. Achievement of Objectives The City of Miami did well in the achieving the following objectives of the Water and Sewer Subelement during the 1989-1994 evaluation period. 1. The coordination of water and sewer provision and land use. The installation of new water and sewer services was confined within the City of Miami System development policies successfully supported orderly land development patterns and redevelopment. 2. The elimination and prevention of system deficiencies in the provision of potable water 4. The consolidation of existing water and sewer systems in to the County system, particularly private water production and distribution utilities and private sewage treatment facilities. This contributed to environmental protection and system efficiency. The City of Miami and Dade County made only modest progress in achieving the following objectives of the Water and Sewer Subelement: 2. The elimination and prevention of system deficiencies in the provision of sanitary sewer service. 4. Development of long-term sources of raw water through traditional or innovative technologies. 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Page 31 5. Implementation and public acceptance of water conservation measures. Current Issues Among the key current issues in the Water and Sewer Subelement EAR are the following: • Raw water availability, especially from Biscayne Aquifer. • Increasing need to reserve raw water Biscayne Bay coastline. • Lack of Countywide and Citywide consensus over role of water conservation efforts. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Water and Sewer Subelement EAR are the following: I. Divide the Water, Sewer Element into a separate Water and Sewer Element. Place greater emphasis on the need to guarantee long-term water supplies through a program balancing conservation, wellfield development, and the use of new and innovative technologies through the creation of an environmental protection objective and a water supply objective. W VIII. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Existing Conditions and Trends The City of Miami adopted minimum Level of Service (LOS) standard requires 1.30 acres of local recreation open space per 1,000 area residents With a population of 366,650, a minimum of 477 of recreation open space is required to comply with the standard. The City of Miami currently has 657 acres designated as recreation open space. Local recreation open space is therefore provided at a rate of 1.79 acres per 1,000 area residents significantly exceeding the minimum LOS standard Population growth projections and local recreation open space accrual trends indicate that the City of Miami will have a population of 374,982 people and 660 acres of recreation open space in 2000. Furthermore, recreation open space will be provided at a rate of 1.76 acres per 1,000 area residents, significantly more than that required by the minirnum LOS standard. Achievement of Objectives 1. Increase public access to many identified recreation sites, facilities and open space and beaches 2. Increase the efficiency of park operations. 3. Ensure that future development and redevelopment play an equitable, proportional share of the cost of public open space and recreational facilities required to maintain adopted LOS standards. 4. Develop and enhance the quality of parks and open space within the City's downtown in a manner which address the needs of City residents, workers and visitors, and strengthen the city's economic development 5. By 1995, the City will have a defined cultural arts district within the downtown area, and a world class cultural performing arts facility will be built within the City by the year 2000. 6. Promote an increase in the number of small performing arts theaters within selected residential/commercial areas of the city. 95- 830, Revised 11/01/95 Page 33 Key Current issues Among the key current issues in the Recreation and Open Space EAR are the following: i • Hurricane Andrew caused significant damage to parks and recreation facilities • There is a need to allocate more resources to improve the quality of recreational programs Recommendations The key recommendations of the Recreation and Open Space EAR are the following: • Add new objective calling for the update of the City 1984 Recreation and Open Space Master Plan • Add new objective to encourage the private sector participation in assisting the City with the parks programs and facilities upgrade 0 95- 830 Page34 Revised 11/01/95 0 • IX. COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT EXISTING COiNDITIONS AND TRENDS The Coastal Management Element addresses five major topics: Natural Coastal Systems, the Built Environment, Natural Disaster Planning, Historic Preservation. The existing conditions and trends are as follows: Natural Coastal Systems: Dade County's and the City of Miami coastal resources are rich in biodiversity and contain native plant and animal species found nowhere else in the world. Between 1988 and 1994, slightly less than 5 acres of coastal wetlands were impacted by dredging, filling or other activities. During the six year time frame, more than 10 acres of coastal wetlands were created or restored. Over 5,000 linear feet of riprap or mangrove planters are in public ownership along the shoreline of Biscayne Bay. This represents an increase since 1989. There are approximately 21 linear miles of beaches in Dade County and 2.5 miles of beaches within the City of Miami.. Between 1989 and 1994. Following Hurricane Andrew the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers attributes restored beaches and dunes as reversing an estimated $20 million worth of property damage. It is anticipated that beach renourishment projects will continue. Statistical analysis are conducted on water quality monitoring data from the sampling location in Biscayne Bay, and major tributaries such as the Miami River. One hundred seventeen, or 78% of the 150 statistically significant trends identified showed improvement over the course of thirteen years. Significant improvement s were made in turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and total coliform bacteria. Dade County and the City of Miami will continue to closely monitor and implement projects to improve water quality. The Built Environment: Coastal resources attract both residents and tourists to the City of Miami and Dade County. Recreation, marine services, and the seafood industry, among other interest, are coastal activities that contribute billions of dollars annually to the federal, state, and local economy. Despite intense development within the coastal area and along the shoreline of Dade County, large tracts of land are in public ownership as national, state, and local parks and preserves. These parks and preserves provide numerous public opportunities for water -dependent and water -related uses. Additionally, the private sector contributes a substantial amount of coastal recreation and water-dependent/related business in the City of Miami. Within the past several years, the economic as well as the environmental benefits of preserving natural areas has become increasingly apparent. Following Hurricane Andrew in 1992, there was intense pressure to reopen major coastal parks for use by residents and in time for tourist season. It is anticipated that public and political support for coastal parks and preserves and marine interests will continue 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 Page 35 The Built Environmental: includes roadways, bridges, and water and sewer facilities, stormwater, drainage, public buildings, marinas, boat ramps, shoreline protection structures, and beach renourishment and revegetation. Since the City of Miami is 95% built out within the Urban Development Boundaries (UDB), with only a few remaining undeveloped large tracts of land, much of the City of Miami infrastructure has been in existence for decades. This is particularly true in the coastal area. Existing residents of these areas, and tourists, rely on infrastructure in good condition for every day usage and emergency evacuation from hurricanes. The problem with infrastructure in the City of Miami is typically not a matter of insufficient infrastructure but that of maintenance and replacement. Natural Disaster Planning: Within the United States, South Florida ranks the high-test area of hurricane ,/lilnerability. Although there was a substantial gap of 21 years between major hurricanes striking Dade County , the National Hurricane Center warns that hurricanes are cyclic and recasts that the cycle of occurrence has returned to South Florida, potentially to the 1940's era of regular landfalls. Since Hurricane Andrew, pre -and post -storm natural disaster planning has intensified. In 1993, Florida Chapter 163, Rule 9J-5.003(14) redefined the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) was eliminated and replaced by the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone (HVZ) which encompasses the CHHA and adds Hurricane Categories 2 and 3. This "coastal high risk area" contains an existing residential population of 302,507, approximately 15.1% of the total Dade County population of 2 million. In the past several years since Hurricane Andrew and several other tropical storm and flood events, both the federal and state governments are urging the implementation of hazard mitigation measures to reduce the risk to lives and property from natural disasters. Hazard mitigation includes land use policies to restrict increased development in coastal high risk areas, particularly the CHHA, conducting pre -storm studies to implement both before and after a major storm event, inventorying public facilities within the HVZ, for pre and post -storm decision -making and courses of action such as shuttering facilities and retrofitting existing structures to wind and flood harden. In addition to hazard mitigation and pre -storm preparation, post -storm response and recovery are especially important to large urban areas that are already developed with a complex population. Cultural, language, and economic barriers contribute to the task adequately prepare, evacuate, shelter, and provide post -storm temporary housing for thousands of people in the event of major hurricane destruction. Historic Preservation: Since Miami developed along its shoreline and waterways, a large majority of historic and archaeological findings are within the coastal area. In total, 385 historic and archaeological sites, districts, and zones within the coastal area have been placed on special designation lists including: (1) National Landmarks; (134) National Register of Historic Places. Varying degrees of protection from the impacts of development activities exist for cultural resources in the coastal zone. The City Historic Preservation Ordinance offers the best protection for designated sites. They review and regulate construction and demolition for activities at designated sites. This requires review and regulation of construction and demolition activities at Page 36 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 • designated sites through the issuance of Certificates of Appropriateness and Certificates of Dig. Dade County and the City of Miami is also offers tax incentives to property owners who rehabilitate owners historic sites.. A special concern for historic structures is to protect them from natural disasters through the implementation of pre -storm hazard mitigation measures. ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The City made good progress in achieving the following objectives of the Coastal Management Element during the 1989 - 1994 evaluation period. Objective 1. To protect, conserve and enhance coastal wetlands, living marine resources, and wildlife habitats. Objective 2. To protect, conserve or enhance beaches and dunes and offshore reef communities. Objective 4. To maintain or increase the amount of shoreline devoted to water -dependent and water -related uses. Objective 5. To maintain or lower the existing time period required to complete the evacuation of people from flood vulnerable Coastal Areas and mobiles home prior to the arrival of sustained tropical storm force winds. Objective 6. To reduce the exposure of life and property in Dade County and the City of Miami to hurricanes through the implementation of hazard mitigation measures. Population concentration shall be directed away from the undeveloped designated CHHA and identified high risk areas during post -disaster redevelopment. Objective 7. To assist areas damaged by hurricanes with recovery measures that reduce the potential for future loss of life and property. Objective 9. To increase public access to beaches and shores, preserve traditional shoreline uses an minimize impacts of man-made structures and activities on coastal resources. Objective 10. To protect, preserve, and sensitively reuse historic resources and increase the number of locally designated historic sites and districts and archaeological sites and zones. The City made reasonable progress in achieving the following objectives of the Coastal Management Element: Objective 3. To maintain and improve the quality of coastal and estuarine waters to meet all applicable federal, state, and local water quality standards. Revised 11/01/95 95-- 830 Page 37 fp-r Objective 8. To ensure that infrastructure is available to serve the development and redevelopment proposed in the Land Use Element for the Coastal Area. Objective 11. To improve the public's appreciation and awareness of City of Miami coastal resources CURRENT ISSUES Several issues were identified under new issues and unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities within Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). The most pertinent are listed as follows: Protection of the West Indian Manatee that lives and frequents Dade County's and the City of Miami waterways. The plight of this endangered species is indicative need to protect marine and coastal wildlife and wildlife habitat. Conflicts between man and wildlife need to be avoided. City of Miami has adopted polices to protect rare, threatened, endangered, and species of special concern and their habitat. Operation of the water management system. The timing and volume of water deliveries into the coastal waters of the City of Miami and Dade County has been significantly altered for decades. Historically, water flowed slowly through the natural drainage area, or sloughs, during the long rainy season and a large volume of groundwater seeped into Biscayne Bay and its tributaries. Today, the natural system has been reversed; groundwater flows have been reduced and large volumes of freshwater are released through flood control gates into Biscayne Bay. These large pulse discharges bring unknown quantities of pollutants that may be harming Biscayne Bay's estaurine functions. Estaurine functions are a key issue in several federal and regional studies on restoration Biscayne Bay. Shoreline Public Access for Water -Dependent and Water -Related Uses refers to the provision of public and private facilities for residents and tourist. The City of Miami has a large number of shoreline and coastal parks and preserves within its boundaries under the jurisdictions of all levels of government and the private sector. Since 1983, the City of Miami and Dade County Shoreline Development Review Process requires new public and private development of redevelopment along the shoreline of Biscayne Bay to provide physical and/or visual public access to the water. The strong demand for public access to water -dependent and water -related activities is expected , to continue. Public Awareness and Appreciation of Coastal Resources should be expanded to include the quantification and promotion of economic, health, recreational, and environmental benefits to the community. In this manner, tax -paying residents and governments providing funding grants will know the full value of expending monies to preserve coastal resources. 95- 830 Page 38 Revised 11 /01 /95 Natural Disasters, the planning and implementation, of hurricane preparedness, response, recovery, hazard mitigation, and post -disaster redevelopment is more important than ever. Federal and State governments are strongly encouraging local governments to adopt land use policies and hazard mitigation measures that will reduce the risk of lives and property to future major storm events. The Dade County Hazard Mingation Plan was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in May 1993. This plan will be update and incorporate post -disaster redevelopment planning to position City of Miami to take advantage of existing and future Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) public assistance and hazard mitigation funding. Recommendations The key recommendations for revising Objectives for the Coastal Management Element are: 1. Create a new objective (4) focused entirely on coastal wildlife and wildlife habitat including protecting rare, threatened, and endangered wildlife and habitat restoration. 2. Focus Objective 3 on the development of antidegredation targets to protect Outstanding Florida Waters and Outstanding National Resource Waters of Biscayne Bay.. 3. Preserve traditional shoreline uses and activities, such as swimming, boating , fishing, and minimize user conflicts, including those between man and wildlife. 4. Improve public awareness and appreciation of coastal resources and available water - dependent and water -related uses. X. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT EXISTING CONDITIONS AND TRENDS The form of the City of Miami government had no major changes during the period of 1989 to 1994. The City of Miami administration went from 37 departments and divisions to 11 departments in order to reduce the budget and to provide more responsive management.. The City of Miami has made reasonable progress in accomplishing the following objectives of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element: 1. Maintain and improve coordination of planning, development and impact assessment among governmental entities with applicable responsibilities within the City of Miami's area of concern. 2. Encourage the use of interlocal agreements to improve coordination of local development and the effective and efficient delivery of local services. 3. Maintain consistent and coordinated planning and management of major natural resources within areas with multi -government jurisdictional responsibilities. 4. Coordinate with local, regional, and State entities with responsibility in the establishment of Level of Service Standards. 5. Initiate cooperative inter -jurisdictional approaches to special intra-regional planning needs. CURRENT ISSUES Recommendations The key recommendations of the Intergovernmental Coordination EAR are the following: New objectives and policies will be needed to address the issues of coordinating new disposal sites for dredged spoil, providing a coordinated regional strategy for economic development, and encouraging all levels of government to work together ensuring adequate and timely shelter for those people residing in hurricane evacuation areas. Proposed Revisions A key recommendation of the Intergovernmental Coordination EAR are: Page 40 95- 830 Revised 11/01/95 • New objectives and policies will be needed to address the issues of coordinating, with Dade County, new disposal sites for dredged spoil; 0 Providing a coordinated regional strategy for economic development; and Y Encouraging all levels of government of work together ensuring adequate and timely shelter for people residing in hurricane evacuation area. XI. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Conditions and Trends The CIE contains the capital projects which are necessary to meet the goals and objectives of the various functional elements of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP). The currently adopted CIE contains 72 projects with a cost of $159.3 million, of which $57.6 million or 36.1 percent has been appropriated. Existing evidence supports the conclusion that the capital improvement element of the MCNP is fiscally feasible. However, there are backlogs of unfunded projects which should be carried out to assure complete implementation of the goals, objectives and policies of the Plan. Funding for these projects has become more problematic in many instances since there is now a greater reliance on bonded debt as a source. Fiscal analysis shows that the City's capacity for supporting bonds, both general obligation and revenue backed, is substantial. Despite the significant capacity to support additional bonding for capital improvements, voter reluctance to incur additional assessment has limited the City's ability to use these funding sources. Achievement of Objectives The following objectives were accomplished or substantially accomplished. Objective XI-1 states that the CIE will provide for sound fiscal planning for those capital projects needed to meet the goals, objectives and policies of the MCNP. An assessment of the policy achievement under this objective substantiated that it was substantially met. Objective XI-4 specifies that public expenditure will not encourage development in high hazard coastal areas. This objective has been achieved. Objective XI-3 deals with ensuring that future development pays an equitable share of the cost of public facilities needed to support LOS standards. This objective has been achieved. The following objective has been only partially accomplished. Objective XI-2 is aimed at prompting the local government to provide the methods and resources for upgrading and maintaining facilities/infrastructure at capacities sufficient to meet level of service standards. This objective has not been fully met as financial resources have not been adequate to fund all needed projects, in particular storm sewers, over the past six years. 95- 830 Page 42 Revised 11/01/95 Current issues The overriding issue today with respect to capital improvements is the impact of the current fiscal environment.. However, any department relying on general obligation bonds for construction or general funds for operations and maintenance is facing difficult times. Budget cutting and general fiscal austerity are the order of the day. This will have long run implications for keeping up with existing infi-astructure needs. Recommendations It is recommended that the updated support material be utilized in the new CIE. The goal, objectives and policies are proposed to be retained essentially intact but with several minor additions and wording changes. The existing monitoring program is recommended for retention. XII. SOLID WASTE COLLECTION ELEMENT SUMMARY Existing Trends and Conditions Between 1988 and 1995 solid waste collection in the City of Miami experienced a series of changes including an increase involvement of private firms in the solid waste disposal facilities leading to an oversupply of disposal capacity, reduction in the size of the City's collection fleet, curb side pick-up, and recycling. Recent trends shows that most of the waste team goes to Broward County facilities. Achievement of Objectives The City of Miami did well in accomplishing the following objectives of the Solid Waste Subelement during the 1988-1995 evaluation period: 1. Provided solid waste collection services to City residents in a manner that ensures public health and safety, and a clean urban environment. 2. Solid Waste collection was done in a manner that reduces the quantity of litter, trash and abandoned personal property in City streets. 3. The City encourages the recycling and reduced the volumes of waste material set aside for collection and disposal. Current Issues Among the key current issues in the Solid Waste Subelement EAR are the following: • need to maintain an effective Capital Improvement Program in order to provide an efficient solid waste collection facilities and equipment. • need to continue an effective recycling program. • The need to address the disposal of household hazardous wastes. • The need to develop and adopt a solid waste management plan. 95- 830 Page 44 Revised 11/01/95 Recommendations . The key recommendations of the Solid Waste Subelement EAR are: Modify objectives to address the existing City recycling program. To include objectives and policies in illegal dumping and hazardous waste. 95- 839 Page 45 Revised 11/01/95 PROPOSED 1995 EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN 1989-2000 EAR VOL.

Pursuant to s.163.3191, F.S. an assessment and evaluation of the current adopted Future Land Use Element is required to fulfill the requirements of chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. This element evaluation has been prepared in substantial keeping with the EAR minimum criteria prescribed by Subsection 9J-5.0053(6), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). SCOPE AND PURPOSE The Land Use Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) designates the future land uses and development patterns in the City of Miami and contains standards for control and distribution of population densities and building and structure intensities. The element contains Goals, Objectives and Policies, a future land use plan (LUP) map and interpretive text, and maps of natural and archaeological resources and features. A Summary section, immediately following this introduction, contains important background, conclusions and recommendations. Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 95- 830 Page 1-3 I. LAND USE ELEMENT - SUMMARY Existing Condition and Trends By the turn of the century, Miami's population will have increased by about 8,117 people from approximately 366.665 in 1995 to 374,782 in 2000. Residential development will continue to grow, especially multifamily residences along the bayfront and other waterfront areas of the city, in redevelopment districts, and in districts throughout the city that are zoned for medium to high density development. Commercial and office development is projected to increase as well, and there will be a modest increase in employment. particularly in downtown and the Civic Center office/institutional areas. Immigration from Cuba and other countries of the western hemisphere will continue to fuel Miami's population growth. and market forces will cause the supply of re - developable land (there is little undeveloped land left in the city) to be built at generally higher densities than before. According to the 1990 Census, the Miami's supply of vacant land use increased slightly over the past several years, due to demolition of dilapidated structures and clearing for future development. Much of the city's vacant properties are smaller than one acre. Additionally, the downtown district still has a substantial quantity of available land for redevelopment. All of Miami is served by infrastructure that was typically built to meet the demands of the highest -density uses that would be allowed under the then -current zoning --in most cases, these densities are the current ones, as well. For most of the city, this "build -for - maximum" policy has resulted in excess infrastructure capacity. This allows the city to encourage higher densities in many of its neighborhoods without requiring addition, or replacement, of costly infrastructure. All of Miami is designated for urban growth, as it has been for most of this century. In the next century, the growth will typically be redevelopment of earlier uses, at higher (and hence "more urban") densities. Achievement of Objectives Miami has made reasonable progress in achieving these objectives of the Land Use Element during the 1989 - 1995 evaluation period: OBJECTIVE LU-1.1: Ensure that land and development regulations are consistent with fostering a high quality of life in all areas, including the timely provision of public facilities that meet or exceed 95- 830 Land Use Element Page 1-5 Revised 11/01/95 W the minimum level of service (LOS) standards adopted in the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000. OBJECTIVE LU-1.3: The City will encourage commercial, office and industrial development within existing commercial, office and industrial areas: increase the utilization and enhance the physical character and appearance of existing buildings. and concentrate new commercial and industrial activit in areas where the capacity of existing public facilities can meet or exceed the minimum standards for level of service (LOS) adopted in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE). OBJECTIVE LU-11.4: Continue the growth of Downtown Miami, expand its role as a center of domestic and international commerce, further its development as a regional center for the performing arts and other cultural and entertainment activities and develop a urban residential base. OBJECTIVE LU-1.5: Land development regulations will protect the city's unique natural and coastal resources, and its historic and cultural heritage. OBJECTIVE LU-1.6: Regulate the development or redevelopment of real property within the City to insure consistency with the goals, objective and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and to reduce the number of land uses that are inconsistent with the City's Future Land Use Plan Map. OBJECTIVE LU-2.2: Protect archaeological resources within the City from destruction and loss. OBJECTIVE LU-2.4: Increase the number of historic structures that have been preserved, rehabilitated or restored, according to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The city made progress toward, but did not fully achieve, the following Land Use Objectives: OBJECTIVE LU-1.2: Promote the redevelopment and revitalization of blighted, declining or threatened residential, commercial and industrial areas. OBJECTIVE LU-2.1: Maintain, update and amplify the City of Miami portion of the Dade County Historic Survey, which identifies and evaluates the city's historic, architectural and archaeological resources. OBJECTIVE LU-2.3: Encourage the preservation of all historic and architectural resources that have major significance to the city by increasing the number of nationally and locally designated sites by 30 percent by 1994 and by 50 percent by the year 1999. OBJECTIVE LU-2.5: Increase public awareness of the historic architectural, archaeological resources and cultural heritage of the City, and public policy and programs to protect and preserve this heritage, through public information and education programs. 95- 830 Page f-G Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 Current Issues The key current issues discussed in the Land Use EAR are the following: 1) Miami's population growth will be mostly through net in -migration. As the level of immigration from abroad increases, pressure will mount to increase residential densities in the city by conversion of low -density -structures with higher density development. Together with the commercial and institutional facilities and places of employment necessary to serve this increasingly dense urban place. these land use pressures and changes constitute Miami's greatest opportunity --and its correspondingly greatest challenge --in the years ahead. 2) If the City of Miami simply stopped permitting higher -density residential development, many families would crowd into substandard units, housing prices would become increasingly unaffordable to a greater percentage of the population, homelessness and crime would increase, the areas would become unattractive to new business as well as established firms and the economy would founder, contributing to broader social problems. The alternative to this unacceptable scenario is a city of revitalized residential neighborhoods containing a variety of housing styles, types, and densities, served by neighborhood and regional commercial facilities connected by adequate transportation services. Miami has developed in such a direction over its 100-year history; continuing to do so will be its challenge for the 21st century. 3) During the past two decades, Miami's residential neighborhoods have been losing middle -income families, and the city as a whole is becoming increasingly a home for the very well-off and the very poor. Despite this trend, there is evidence that many of Miami's middle -income neighborhoods are halting their decline, and are becoming more, rather than less, attractive to families. A high priority needs to be placed on planning for the protection of these neighborhoods, and the revitalization of areas that are in need of similar improvement. Recommendations By and large, while the overall objectives and philosophy of the MCNP remain unchanged, a much more concerted effort must be given to implementing actions such as code enforcement, landscaping and urban beautification, and neighborhood identity enhancement. Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 95- 830 Page 1-7 The key recommendations of the Land Use EAR are the following: 1. As a result of adoption of the MCNP in 1989, followed closely by the adoption of a new zoning ordinance, a number of errors were accidentally created between the MCNP Future Land Use Plan Map and the city's Zoning Atlas. Most of these inconsistencies were resolved through an omnibus MCNP plan amendment in the early 1990's, but some inconsistencies escaped detection and remain to be resolved. With the implementation of the City's GIS capabilities, it will be possible to finally bring these two maps into consistency with one another. In updating the Land Use Element Future Land Use Plan Map, the land use recommendations of the Station Area Design and Development (SADD) Plans adopted for the Metrorail station areas of the city should be reflected 2. Policies should be added to the MCNP to reorient the neighborhood planning program toward physical plans emphasizing land use, urban design, and community action for small strategic planning areas. Also to be emphasized should be solutions to problems of code enforcement, vacant lot maintenance, and trash pickup that escapes normal collection procedures. This tine -grained approach to revitalizing Miami's neighborhoods can promote better neighborhoods, increase the community's ability to house population increases, and provide a overall better quality of life for its citizens. 3. Some of the Objectives and Policies of the MCNP are obsolete, mainly because they contain 1980's-era data that needs to be updated. This work should also be the subject of MCNP EAR -based amendments. CONDITION OF THE PLAN AT THE TIME OF ITS ADOPTION (1989) 1. EXISTING LAND USE DATA 1988 Existing Land Use Map The land uses that existed in the city when the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (MCNP) was adopted are shown on the 1988 Existing Land Use Map, LUM-1. 1988 Natural Resources Map The natural resources that existed in the city at the time of adoption of the MCNP are shown on the 1988 Natural Resources Map, LUM-2. 1988 Table of Existing Land Use Acreage 1988 land use in shown in Table LUT-1 Table LUT-1 1988 Land Uses by Type and Planning District, Net Acres District Land Use in Net Acres Residential Commercial Industrial Institutional Recreational Transportation Vacant Total Edison 2,310 389 123 220 117 18 242 3,419 Downtown 715 386 202 176 234 39 385 2,137 Coconut Grove 1,720 156 3 237 94 9 143 2,362 Little Havana 2,403 356 71 98 94 4 61 3,087 Flagami 1,635 300 7 93 141 1 0 42 2,218 Allapattah 1.302 407 64 218 145 24 120 2.280 City Total 10,085 1,994 470 1,042 825 94 993 15,503 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 95- 830 Page 1-9 The term, "net acres" includes all land in the city except for streets and water areas. In 1988, street acreage amounted to 6,641 acres, making a total of 22.144 acres, or 34.6 square miles of gross land area in the city. Water acreage was not measured in 1988. Designated Areas of Critical State Concern Biscayne Bay is a shallow, subtropical lagoon extending from the Sunny Isles Causeway connecting North Miami Beach to Miami Beach on the north. to the upper Keys near Dade County's boundary on the south.. The bay extends approximately 35 miles, north to south, and varies from less than one mile to approximately ten miles in width. There is a series of barrier islands outlining its eastern border. The bay averages six feet in depth and generally is less than ten feet deep, except where the bottom has been dredged. It is one of the finest examples of a coastal ecosystem in Florida. This complex region contains examples of natural, conserved and undisturbed biological communities, It accommodates intense recreational activities on its surface as well as residential, commercial and industrial uses along the shoreline. It is a designated area of critical state concern. Miami's eastern boundary lies along, or in, Biscayne Bay. The Biscayne Aquifer is a hydrological area of water -bearing rock that carries unconfined groundwater through southeast Florida. In the Miami area, the aquifer is approximately 120 to 130 feet deep and is just below the surface of the land. The aquifer, the source of Miami's potable water, is recharged mostly by rainfall. There are small isolated areas of wetlands scattered along the Coconut Grove coast, on Virginia Key and on Dinner Key islands. In addition to their aesthetic value, wetlands perform many important functions as part of the natural ecosystem.

The public infrastructure network is planned, constructed and operated by both the City of Miami and Metro -Dade County. In 1988, the infrastructure system adequately served the then -current land use. Improvements were planned and programmed to meet the demand generated the city's land uses. All of Miami is served by infrastructure that was typically built to meet the demands of the highest -density uses that would be allowed under the then -current zoning --in most cases. these densities are the current ones. as well. For most of the city, this "build -for - maximum" policy has resulted in excess infrastructure capacity. This allows the city to encourage higher densities in many of its neighborhoods without requiring addition, or replacement, of costly infrastructure. All of Miarni is designated for urban growth, as it has been for most of this century. In the next century, the growth will typically be redevelopment of earlier uses, at higher (and hence "more urban") densities. Traffic Circulation: Miami was served in 1988 by a system of streets, highways, and public transportation facilities that provided adequate capacity to serve mobility needs in accordance with adopted level of service standards. Solid Waste: The City of Miami Department of Solid Waste is responsible for the collection of solid waste within the City. The Dade County Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Disposal Division, is responsible for the disposal of solid waste collected throughout the County. In 1988, the system provided adequate capacity, in accordance with adopted level of service standards. Sanitary Sewers: The Provision of sanitary sewer service in the City of Miami is the responsibility of the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department (WASA). The City is responsible only for the design and construction of the sewer collection system in the City limits, while WASA is responsible for the operations, management and control of the sanitary sewer system. In 1988, the system provided adequate capacity, in accordance with adopted level of service standards. Drainage: The Storm Drainage Master Plan for the City of Miami has been developed to identify the physical facilities and implementation plan necessary to reduce flooding problems and improve water quality. In 1988, progress was being made on implementation of the master plan in accordance with adopted level of service standards. 95- 830 Page 1-11 Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge: WASA has three principal facilities constructed and operated by the Department These plants are supported by wellfieids located at the Alexander Orr, Jr. sites (two facilities) to serve the southern part of Dade County and the new north vest wellfield to serve the northern part of Dade C, :itv. The two major interconnected water treatment districts are divided by Flagler Street. In 1988, the system provided adequate supplies of potable water, and sufficient aquifer recharge, in accordance with adopted level of service standards. Vacant Land Analysis, 1988 Availability of Sites for Future Development: In 1988. Miami had an estimated 993 acres of vacant land, or about 6.4 percent of its total area. Vacant parcels ranged in size from small, 5,000-square foot lots to large tracts up to 60 acres, with most of the vacant land in parcels smaller than one acre. Vacant land in 1988 is shown in Table LUT-2 Table LUT-2 1988 Vacant Land by Planning District (Net Acres) Planning District Vacant land, acres % of total land Edison 242 1.6 Downtown 385 2.5 Coconut Grove 14 0.1 Little Havana 61 Flagami 42 Allapattah 120 0.1 Total 993 6.4 Source: Sanborn Survey, 1968 and City of Miami Land Needed to Accommodate Projected Population, 1988 Projections made in 1988 estimated that by the year 2000, Miami would need the equivalent of up to 800 additional acres to accommodate new residential uses and 410 acres to meet demand generated by new non-residential uses. The city was considered essentially built out, and expansion of the municipal boundaries was considered unlikely. Therefore, only through the development of tracts identified as assemblages for development, infill of small lots, and the redevelopment of sites through more intensive use, could the anticipated growth be accommodated. Page 1.12 95-- 830 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 The major tracts and areas that were identified in 1988 as available for redevelopment and/or revitalization were: the abandoned Florida East Coast (FEC) Buena Vista yards, the River Quadrant, and the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Project. Small parcels scattered throughout the city would collectively serve as an additional major resource for redevelopment and infill construction. The Need for Redevelopment Given the lack of large areas of undeveloped land to suburbanize, in 1988 the major focus of future development was on the redevelopment and revitalization of neighborhood areas. The stabilization and maintenance of existing quality neighborhoods was a major priority. The modest population growth projected for the city, together with the availability of vacant land adequately served by infrastructure, and city development regulations aimed at facilitating redevelopment, provided an adequate response to future land use needs. Development In Flood Prone Areas Miami's coastal area extends along the shoreline of Biscayne Bay, Little River and Miami River and upland to the first road parallel to the shoreline. Natural and man-made islands that are on Biscayne Bay are included. The entire bayfront and waterfront area of Miami is subject to coastal flooding. The city requires that developments within floodplains comply with the appropriate Federal guidelines and flood criteria adopted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and Chapter 11c of the Dade County Code entitled "Development Within Coastal Flood Hazard Districts". The Atlantic Ocean coastal area of the city --confined to a short section of Virginia Key beachfront, is classified as a Coastal High Hazard Zone -- the only such designation within city limits to have a designated Coastal Constriction Control Line (CCCL). Land use conflicts were not widespread in 1988 within the coastal area. Real estate market conditions did not indicate strong demand for commercial, industrial or transportation uses along the bay shore. The predominant residential use was not threatened by the encroachment of nonresidential land uses. Along the Miami River, there was some vacant shoreline or underutilized nonresidential space, and in some places, non -water dependent uses had been gradually encroaching upon areas with water - dependent land uses. 95- 830 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 CONDITIONS AT DATE, OF EAR 1. EXISTINIG LAND USE DATA, 1995. 1995 Existing Land Use Map The land uses existing in 1995 are shown on the Existing Land Use Map. LUM-3. This map, unlike the 1988 map, was prepared using computer -based technology under the city's Geographic Information System (GIS), using 1990 data collected and assembled by Dade County. The data depicted on the two maps are not directly comparable, due to the different technologies employed in their preparation (see discussion under "1995 Table of Existing Land Use Acreage", below). 1995 Natural Resources Map The Natural Resources map is unchanged from 1988 (see map LUM-2). 1995 Table of Existing Land Use Acreage Existing land use in 1995 is shown on the table LUT-3. Due to different technologies employed gather and depict the land use information, the 1988 data are only roughly comparable with 1995, and therefore of limited utility for analysis. This fact is of little significance, however, because during the period 1988-1995, the City of Miami had no significant change in its existing land use pattern, a situation characteristic of a mature urban place with very little developable vacant land. Most of the land use changes were small, and were typically substitution of more dense, urban type uses for earlier, lower - density land uses on relatively small parcels. The differences between the existing land use map and table of 1988 and the 1995 edition are more the result of different reporting techniques than of any substantive change in land use.

Most of the amendments were small-scale, involving only one or two city lots, and only a few exceeded one acre in size. None of the amendments is considered a significant alteration to the overall Land Use Plan. Intensity of Development. Generally, the areas within the City with the highest intensities of development are located in or near the Miami CBD and along the bayfront. Miami has numerous single- family housing districts averaging between 6 and 13 development unit per acres (du/ac). Multi -family housing districts average 35 to 60 du/ac. Existing commercial uses show great variation in intensity. For example. the First Union Financial Center is developed at a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 16.0 and the World Trade Center (formerly Centrust) which has a FAR of 10.07; whereas much of the rest of Miami's CBD has a FAR of less than 1.0 Residential Development: The residential areas are fairly dense with the average single family lot about 5,000 sq. ft. in size. Redevelopment and restoration play a major role in providing affordable homes in Miami. Single family residences are experiencing a small increase in demand in key areas of the city, but the overall single family residential stock has decreased in size and quality. Many existing single family residences have been converted to duplexes and rooming houses, due mainly to the immigration influx of the late 1980's and early 1990's. Multifamily residential has experienced a larger increase in demand. Rental apartments and condominium developments have increased due to the limited availability of developable land. A significant number of multifamily residences were developed by not -for -profit organizations, Community Development Corporations (CDC's) and other government agencies with public assistance. There are also significant private residential developments emerging in the CBD and along the bayfront coastal areas, with more in the planning phase. Commercial and Industrial Development: Most of Miami's commercial and industrial areas are well -established, and pre -date the MCNP. Small convenience centers in commercially -zoned sites along major transportation corridors have experienced some developmental activity in the past seven years, and a number of larger sites have been redeveloped from relatively inefficient, low -density commercial use to larger, single ownership developments. Industrial areas that were healthy in 1988 continue to be so, but with little or no redevelopment activity. Those industrial areas that were in decline, continue thus, but vacancy rates have increased sharply in only a few scattered locations. Page 1-16 95- $30 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 Adjacent Land Uses/Designated Areas Of Critical State Concern Map Adjacent Land Use: A majority of adjacent land use is split between residential use and Nvater/aquatic use. There are small pockets of commercial and industrial uses along major arterial streets. The new Existing Land Use map (LUM-3) is programmed to display adjacent land use. Designated Areas of Critical State Concern: The designated area of critical state concern at this time of the report are the same as the areas of concern at the time of adoption of the MCNP 1989. Drainage Spoil Disposal Sites: At the time of this report there are no existing or new drainage spoil disposal sites within the City of Miami. 2e LAND USE ANALYSIS, 1995 Facility and Service Availability Infrastructure Needs: The public infrastructure network is planned, constructed and operated by both the City of Miami and Metro -Dade County. In 1995, the infrastructure system adequately serves the current land use. Improvements are planned and programmed to meet the demand generated the city's land uses. (See the Infrastructure Element, Vol. VI of the EAR, for additional discussion of this subject). All of Miami is served by infrastructure that was typically built to meet the demands of the highest -density uses that would be allowed under the then -current zoning --in most cases, these densities are the current ones, as well. For most of the city, this "build -for - maximum" policy has resulted in excess infrastructure capacity.

Traffic Circulation: Miami is served in 1995 by a system of streets, highways, and public transportation facilities that provide adequate capacity to serve mobility needs in accordance with adopted level of service standards. (See the Traffic Circulation Subelement of the Transportation Element, Vol. III of the EAR, for additional discussion of this subject). Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 95- 830 Page 1-17 s Solid Waste: The City of Miami Department of Solid Waste is responsible for the collection of solid waste within the City. The Dade County Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Disposal Division, is responsible for the disposal of solid waste collected throughout the County. In 1995, the system provided adequate capacity, in accordance with adopted level of service standards. (See the Solid Waste Collection Element, Vol. XII of the EAR, for additional discussion of this subject). Sanitary Sewers: The Provision of sanitary sewer service in the City of Miami is the responsibility of the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department (WASA). The City is responsible only for the design and construction of the sewer collection system in the City limits, while WASA is responsible for the operations, management and control of the sanitary sewer system.

In 1995, progress continues to be made on implementation of the master plan in accordance with adopted level of service standards. (See the Infrastructure Element, Vol. VII of the EAR, for additional discussion of this subject). Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge: The Metro -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department (WASH) extracts, treats, and distributes potable water for most of Dade county, including Miami. It is also responsible for maintaining and monitoring aquifer recharge. In 1995, the WASA system provides adequate supplies of potable water, and sufficient aquifer recharge, in accordance with adopted level of service standards. (See the Infrastructure Element, Vol. VII of the EAR, for additional discussion of this subject). Vacant Land Analysis Availability of Sites for Future Development: Miami continues to have a collectively significant, but largely scattered -site supply of vacant, developable land. Vacant parcels range in size from small, 5,000-square foot lots to a single large tract of about 60 acres (presently being used for shipping container outdoor storage). Much of the inventory of vacant land is in parcels smaller than one acre. The amount of vacant land in the downtown district has increased over the past five years, due to older buildings being demolished for safety or tax reasons, or in preparation for future redevelopment. Page 1.18 95- 830 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 EVALUATION OF PLAN OBJECTIVES (This evaluation «vas presented in tabular format in the Dratt EAR dated 9/l/95. In this revision, it has been reformatted as text to facilitate easier reading,.) OBJECTIVE LU-1.1: Ensure that land and development regulations are consistent with fostering a high quality of life in all areas, including the timely provision of public facilities that meet or exceed the minimum level of service (LOS) standards adopted in the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000. MEASURABLE TARGET: The extent of areas experiencing conditions below minimum adopted LOS at LOS. and substantially above LOS will be monitored by Planning Building and Zoning Department for level of accomplishment by 2000. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): 'Flee MCNP includes level of service (LOS) standards for roadways, transit parks. water, sewer, solid waste and stormwater drainage. Applications to amend the future land use plan map are evaluated for their impact on the various services as compared with the impact of the currently planned use of the site. CURRENT CONDITIONS: Same as baseline conditions. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Yes, FUTURE ACTION: Continue to monitor land development and the impact on services to support new developments. OBJECTIVE LU-1.2: Promote the redevelopment and revitalization of blighted, declining or threatened residential. commercial and industrial areas. MEASURABLE TARGET: Number of dwelling units issued permits for new uses and rehabilitation in the City of Miami CD target areas. Numbers and dollar value of public facilities improvement in CD target areas. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): Programs have been implemented that address the issue of revitalizing the target areas (Little River/Little Haiti, Model City, Allapattatt, Little Havana, Overtown, Downtown, Wynwood/Edgewater, Coconut Grove). One expected result from revitalization programs is that the number of businesses will either grow or stabilize. CURRENT CONDITIONS: The 1990 census indicates that some of these CD target areas declined in population and experienced an increase in the poverty rate. The enterprise zone in which the City of Miami is located also experienced a less in business. The bond rating for the SE Overtown Park West district dropped and there was no in rease in tax revenue for the Omni TIF district. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? No. FUTURE ACTION: Continue the redevelopment efforts for the Omni and seaport district along with the community revitalization of the CD target area funded by CDBG funds. OBJECTiVE LU-1.3: The City will encourage commercial, office and industrial development within existing commercial, office and industrial areas; increase the utilization and enhance the physical character and appearance of existing buildings; and concentrate new commercial and industrial activity in areas where the capacity of existing public facilities can meet or exceed the minimum standards for level of service (LOS) adopted in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE). MEASURABLE TARGET: The City of Miami Zoning Ordinance (Z.O. 1 1000) is the instrument for regulating commercial, office, industrial, and other land use classifications. All development permitted since MCNP adoption has met applicable LOS standards. 95- 830 Land Use Element Page 1-19 Revised 11/01/95 BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): The City of Miami for more than three decades has enforced compliance with standards that required provision of facilities and services adequate to meet demands created by new development. The MCNP added a LOS requirement for parks and recreation, and one for transportation, to the LOS package traditionally required by the city. All development permitted since MCNP adoption has met applicable LOS standards. CURRENT CONDITIONS: Same as baseline conditions. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Yes. FUTURE ACTION: Continue to monitor land development and the impact on services to support new developments. OBJECTIVE LU-1.4: Continue the growth of Downtown Miami, expand its role as a center of domestic and international commerce, further its development as a regional center for the performing arts and other cultural and entertainment activities and develop a urban residential base. MEASURABLE TARGET: Number of dwelling units, building permits, CU's or CO's, issued for new uses and rehabilitated development in the downtown core including SEOPW District. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): Development in Downtown Miami was slowing down due to a nationwide recession. in the U.S. Four out of five projects were underway or near completion in the SEOPW district. Preliminary discussions were underway as to the future location of the proposed performing arts center. CURRENT CONDITIONS: Development in downtown is on an upswing with the completion of the Metromover Ornni and Brickell Extensions. The Sears/Knight-Ridder site was selected as the future home of the performing arts center to be designed by Cesar Pelli and Associates. Some major infrastructure improvements have been made by Miami -Dade County WASA, FDOT, and Metro - Dade. Bayfront Park has been completed. Several private and joint venture projects, including four major residential projects, are on line and in the planning phase. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Yes. FUTURE ACTION: Continue support of downtown core development and redevelopment. OBJECTIVE LU-1.5: Land development regulations will protect the city's unique natural and coastal resources, and its historic and cultural heritage. MEASURABLE TARGET: The City of Miami zoning ordinance (Z.O. 11000) is the instrument for regulating land development for the natural and coastal resources as well as Miami's historic and cultural heritage. The City of Miami City Code Chapter 23.1 is the legal document for regulating the designation of historic structures and districts. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OFPLAN ADOPTION (1989): Development orders, land _ use regulations, goals and objectives of the natural resource, conservation and coastal management elements of the MCNP. Development policies are consistent with the intent and purpose of Metro Dade's waterfront charter amendment, shoreline development review ordinance, and the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve management area. CURRENT CONDITIONS: The shoreline development review board is in place to monitor all shoreline development activity. The Historic and Environmental Preservation (HEP) Board is in place to monitor all development in and around historic structures and districts OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Yes FUTURE ACTION: Continue to monitor the issuance of development orders for coastal property and monitor the preservation of historic and cultural heritage. OBJECTIVE LU-1.6: Regulate the development or redevelopment of real property within the City to insure consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and to reduce the number of land uses that are inconsistent with the City's Future Land Use Plan Map. 95- 830 Page 1-20 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 MEASURABLE TARGET: The number of rezoning applications filed with the Hearing Board Division of the Plan, ,, Building and Zoning reviewed by the Planning Advisory Board and the Zoning Board, and approved by City of Miami Commission to bring preexisting zoning in conformity with the land use desirsnations. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): All uses, new development, and redevelopment of land and the provision of urban services as well as infrastructure are reviewed for consistency with the goats, objectives and policies of the Land Use Element and With the fi.rtIMC uses provided by the adopted Land Use Plan map. CURRENT CONDITIONS: Same as baseline conditions. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Yes FUTURE ACTION: Continue to review and monitor rezoning applications. OBJECTIVE LU-2.1: Maintain. update and amplify the City of Miami portion of the Dade County Historic Survey. which identifies and evaluates the city's historic, architectural and archaeological resources. MEASURABLE TARGET: Conduct further surveys of historic districts by 1991. Develop a computerized database by 1994. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): The Metro -Dade historic Preservation Division conducted the Dade County Historic Survey between 1978 and 1980. This comprehensive survey of all properties identified approximately 6,000 architecturally, historically, and archaeologically significant sites. Approximately 3,358 are in Miami CURRENT CONDITIONS: A comprehensive survey of the Bayside Historic District containing approximately 206 buildings, was completed, and a survey of the potential Spring Garden Historic District, containing approximately 175 buildings, is undenvay. The Preservation Officer will receive a new computer in 1995 to facilitate the development of a database. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Surveys - Yes Computerized database -No FUTURE ACTION: Modify the objective to reflect that this is an ongoing activity, Modify the policy to amend the date for the completion of the database. OBJECTIVE LU-2.2: Protect archaeological resources within the City from destruction and loss. MEASURABLE TARGET: Designate archaeological zones; establish a procedure for archaeological monitoring by 1990. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): Archaeological conservation areas within the City have been identified by the Dade County Archaeologist. CURRENT CONDITIONS: One archaeological zone was locally designated by the City. A procedure has been established with the Dade County Archaeologist to require archaeological monitoring. With a few exceptions, significant archaeological sites have been protected and/or archaeological artifacts have been recorded and recovered prior to development of the property. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Yes FUTURE ACTION: Modify the objective to clarify that if an archaeological site cannot be preserved, the significant archaeological resources be recorded and recovered prior to the development of the property. OBJECTIVE LU-2.3: Encourage the preservation of all historic and architectural resources that have major significance to the city by increasing the number of nationally and locally designated sites by 30 percent by 1994 and by 50 percent by the year 1999. MEASURABLE TARGET: Between 1990 and 1994, increase the number of nationally and locally designated sites by 30%. Between 1990 and 1999, increase the number of nationally designated sites by 50%. 95- 330 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): Number of properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places: 53 historic sites, 1 historic district. Number of locally -designated properties: 50 historic sites, 3 historic districts. CURRENT CONDITIONS: Number of properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places: 55 historic sites, ? historic districts. Number of locally -designated properties: 60 historic sites, 4 historic districts. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? No FUTURE ACTION: Modify the objective to reduce the number of sites that will be designated by 1999, due to staffing constraints. OBJECTIVE LU-2.4: Increase the number of historic structures that have been preserved, rehabilitated or restored, according to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. MEASURABLE TARGET: Increase the number of rehabilitated historic structures. By 1994, the City will enter into interlocal agreements with other local governments which have title to properties of major historic or architectural significance that will ensure the conservation, preservation and adaptive and sensitive reuse of such properties. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): The number of historic structures being rehabilitated according to the Standards was beginning to increase. Activity was concentrated in the Morningside Historic District CURRENT CONDITIONS: Numerous historic buildings have been preserved using the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. The numbers have increased dramatically in the Bayside and Buena Vista East Historic Districts. An agreement was entered into with the Dade County Public Schools requiring that the local historic preservation board review and comment on any work affecting a historic school. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Yes FUTURE ACTION: Modify the objective to reflect that this is ongoing activity. OBJECTIVE LU-2.5: Increase public awareness of the historic architectural, archaeological resources and cultural heritage of the City, and public policy and programs to protect and preserve this heritage, through public information and education programs. .MEASURABLE TARGET: Develop publications on historic preservation. Implement a historic marker program. Prepare a biannual report beginning in 1990. Include historic information in public information and tourism materials by 1994. BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1989): Through a state grant the city initiated a series of publications on historic preservation in general and historic resources in particular. Historic markers have been installed along the Miami River. CURRENT CONDITIONS: Public awareness has increased primarily through the efforts of local historic preservation groups and increased coverage in the local media. Lack of funding has temporarily halted the city's publication program. Historic markers were installed in Coconut Grove. The Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau is providing information on historic resources. OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED? Public awareness has increased dramatically, although specific policies including publications and a biannual report have not been achieved. FUTURE ACTION: Ivfodify the policies to eliminate publications and reports due to staffing and budget constraints. 95- 830 Page 1-22 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 CURRENT LAND USE ISSUES, PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES Projected Population Growth New projections prepared for the Evaluation and Appraisal Report predict a continuing slow rate of population growth for Miami, reflecting the built -out characteristic of its land area.

Miami's population growth will be mostly through net in -migration. The September 1994 federal agreement with Cuba allows a minimum of 20,000 immigrants a year to the U.S. from Cuba alone, and it is likely that actual levels will substantially exceed the minimums. Many of these immigrants will settle initially in the city of Miami, which is assuming the traditional, coastal center -city role as the main port -of -entry for immigrants. Some offsetting out -migration from the city can be expected, thus keeping the recorded population figures at modest levels, but the net effect will be an increase in the annual inflow. Moreover, census and other population counts tend to under -record populations in immigrant port -of -entry cities; Miami is no exception to this phenomenon. Undercounts of as much as 35% are suspected in many neighborhoods of the city. Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 9 5 - 830? Page 1-23 As the level of immigration from abroad increases, pressure will mount to increase residential densities in the city by conversion of low -density -structures to higher density development. Together with the commercial and institutional facilities and places of employment necessary to serve this increasingly dense urban place, these land use pressures and changes constitute Miami's greatest opportunity --and its correspondingly greatest clallenge--in the years ahead. If the City of Miami simply stopped permitting higher -density residential development. many families would crowd into substandard units, housing prices would become increasingly unaffordable to a greater percentage of the population, homelessness and crime would increase, the areas would become unattractive to new business as well as established firms and the economy would founder, contributing to broader social problems. The alternative to this unacceptable scenario is a city of revitalized residential neighborhoods containing a variety of housing styles, types, and densities, served by neighborhood and regional commercial facilities connected by adequate transportation services. Miami has developed in such a direction over its 100-year history; continuing to do so will be its challenge for the 21 st century. During the past two decades, several of Miami's residential neighborhoods have been losing middle -income families, and the city as a whole is becoming increasingly a home for the very well-off and the very poor. Despite this trend, there is evidence that many of Miami's middle -income neighborhoods are halting their decline --often through citizen efforts --and are becoming more, rather than less, attractive to families. A high priority needs to be placed on planning for the protection of these neighborhoods, and the revitalization of areas that are in need of similar improvement. Revitalization Programs In addition to the development potential of vacant land for accommodating the future growth of the community, the physical, social and economic needs of existing neighborhoods must also be addressed in the comprehensive planning of the urban area. The City of Miami's Community Development Department and Neighborhood. Enhancement Team (NET) monitor distressed areas and formulate programs to reverse or stabilize physical and economic conditions. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Urban Enterprise Community, State Enterprise Zone, and Community Redevelopment Area programs generally point out specific locations in the city which require special attention to upgrade and stabilize physical and economic conditions or to create economic opportunity. Page s-24 95- 83-A Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 City of Miami Community Development Block Grant Program: The City of Miami, like Dade County and other municipalities, operates its own CDBG programs. Entitled to direct CDBG funding fronn tine U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development., the City of Miami implements its CDBG program within the physical boundaries of the eight target areas identified as needing long-term economic development, housing and infrastructure improvements. Since the inception of the program in 1974. the City has had the community development target areas of Allapattah, Coconut Grove, Downtown, Edison/Little River, Model City, La Pequena Habana (Little Havana), Overtown and Wynwood. The CDBG program in each target area is implemented by a "Neighborhood Enhancement Team" (NET) which is also responsible for coordinating policy protection, code enforcement, solid waste pick-up. job placement programs, and other needed services. The eight target areas covered a total of 12.100 acres, or over one-half of tine City's land base. Except for the expansion of the Edison -Little River and La Pequena Habana target areas, the sizes of the target areas in the City of Miami have not changed since 1988. The Edison -Little River Target Area was enlarged to over 1800 acres when the eastern boundary was moved to the east from the Florida East Coast Railroad line to the commercially -zoned properties along the east side of Biscayne Boulevard between NE 87 Street and the Airport Expressway. The La Pequena Habana target area was substantially enlarged in 1994 when the boundary was extended on the north from NW 7 street to the Miami River and on the west from NW 27 Avenue to NW 37 Avenue. The size of La Pequena Habana has been increased by nearly 74 percent to approximately 3,687 acres. A relatively high poverty rate is a characteristic of these distressed neighborhoods. The poor exceeded the countywide rate in each target area for the categories of total population, elderly persons, children under the age five, children under age 18 and family households. The poor are over -represented in each target area for the categories of Black persons and female -headed households. Except for Coconut Grove the poverty rate for total persons grew in each target area between 1980 and 1990. Community Redevelopment Area Program. The problems of distressed areas can also be addressed by the Community Redevelopment Area Program established in Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. This program was primarily designed to address slum and blighted areas where prevailing conditions of decline make it impractical to revitalize a neighborhood by such treatments as rehabilitation or conservation. It was also developed to facilitate the provision of affordable housing in areas with shortages. This approach to revitalization has been utilized in City of Miami since the 1970s. Currently, the City of Miami has two community redevelopment areas utilizing tax increment financing as a means for funding revitalization activities: Southeast Overtown/Park West and Omni. In the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Area, both private and public redevelopment activities have occurred. However, no specific redevelopment projects have taken place in the Omni Community 95- 830 Land Use Element Page 1-25 Revised 11/01/95 .1M�1 ✓ram Redevelopment Area. Monies from redevelopment bonds may be used in the future to help fund a new performing arts center in the Omni area. The Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment area is an urban core community being redeveloped as a neighborhood with a mixture of uses. Private redevelopment activity has been primarily limited to the constriction of three large multi- family projects (Arena Towers, Biscayne View and Poinciana Village) with a total of approximately 1000 dwelling units on land that was acquired and assembled with redevelopment funds. The Biscayne View building includes on the first floor a grocery store/delicatessen. a Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) office and a police substation. The City of Miami has established the NET office to address the most pressing problems in the neighborhood. The public redevelopment activities in this neighborhood include improvements associated with Metrorail facilities, a pedestrian mall on NW 7th street between NW 1 st and 3rd Avenues and a pedestrian mall on NW 9th street between Miami Avenue and NW 2nd Avenue. The NW 9th Street Mall, which will eventually extend between NW 3rd Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard, is designated to be a "linear town square" for the Southeast Overtown/Park West area with public gathering places, local retail and service establishments, a variety of public amenities including bus pull-outs, shelters, benches and landscaping. Metro -Dade County obtained a $2,171,000 Urban Initiatives Grant from the US Department of Transportation in 1994 to help build the second phase (NW 1 st Avenue to NW 2nd Avenue). MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, LOCATION OF LAND USES, AND TI-IE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED This section of the EAR addresses the major problems related to development, physical deterioration, and the location of land uses and their social and economic effects, as required by Rule 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4., F.A.C. The Rule (Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4a.- o, F.A.C.) identifies fifteen specific items to be addressed as part of the evaluation of the Plan. Not all of the items listed, however, are relevant to each Plan element. Therefore, only the four items best addressed by the Land Use Element are discussed here. The others are discussed in the various Plan elements addressing public services, environmental issues, and capital improvements. a. Accuracy and use of the population projections. The issue of accuracy and use of population projections has been discussed in the previous chapter addressing the conditions of the elements at the time of this report. The current projections will be used in the 1995-96 update of the MCNP. i. Physical deterioration of buildings and structures in the commercial, residential, and industrial land categories. In the absence of field survey data about the condition of commercial and industrial buildings, the city relies on requirements of the South Florida Building Code, which mandates that all buildings that are 40 or more years old have to apply for a recertification for occupancy. These certificates are issued only if the building meets the current code criteria. Therefore, 40 years is a structure age considered to have potential for signs of physical deterioration. Any building requiring recertification has to undergo inspections every 10 years. Miami does have a problem of physical deterioration of industrial and commercial buildings since the certificate of occupancy is only issued once a building is habitable as per code. k. and 1. The location of development with regard to existing infrastructure. All of Miami is served by infrastructure that was typically built to meet the demands of the highest -density uses that would be allowed under the then -current zoning --in most cases, these densities are the current ones, as well. For most of the city, this "build -for - maximum" policy has resulted in excess infrastructure capacity. This allows the city to Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 95- 830 Page 1-27 encourage higher densities in many of its neighborhoods without requiring addition, or replacement, of costly infrastructure. All of Miami is designated for urban growth, as it has been for most of this century. In the next century, the growth will typically be redevelopment of earlier uses, at higher (and hence "more urban") densities. EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RUDE CHANGES SINCE 1990 Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(A)6., F.A.C„ requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in: 1) Section 187.02. F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP); 2) the appropriate strategic regional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. (Local government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9j-5, F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria For Review of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (MCNP) by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP). These plans, in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above referenced statutory and rule changes, this Element z will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. CONSISTENCY WITH THE STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The MCNP was prepared consistent with the provisions of Chapter 187, Florida Statutes, also known as the 1985 State Comprehensive Plan (SCP). More specifically the goals, objectives and policies of this element were consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use component of the SCP, as stated in Section 187.201 (20) of the Florida Statutes. Since then, Chapter 187 has been amended only once, in 1993; however, none of the State's goals and policies amended have impacted the mandated requirements of the Land Use Element. Therefore, this Element remains consistent with the SCP as amended. CONSISTENCY WITH THE STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN FOR SOUTH FLORIDA The MCNP was prepared consistent with the provisions of' the 1987 Regional Plan of South Florida. Since then, the Regional Plan has been amended once, in 1991, and as a result of changes in state legislature, the South Florida Regional Planning Council has recently prepared and submitted a draft of' the mandated Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida (SRPP) which upon adoption it would replace the 1991 plan. It is on the latest draft of the SRPP that the Evaluation and Appraisal of the MCNP would, for now, be based. A thorough review for consistency of the adopted MCNP with the proposed SRPP was conducted, a summarized version of the same follows. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PARK II, FLORIDA STATUTES The requirements of Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S., for the Land Use Element have not been amended since 1989. In 1992, Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., was amended to add Section 163.3177 (11), F.S., recognizing the need for innovative planning and development strategies to address the anticipated continued urbanization of the cost and other environmentally sensitive areas; stated that plans should allow land use efficiencies within existing urban areas, and should also allow for the conversion or rural lands to other uses; and finally, provided that plans and land development regulations should maximize the use of existing facilities and services through redevelopment, urban infill, and other strategies for urban revitalization. In the overall, Land Use Element objectives and their policies, and by reference, Coastal Management Element objectives and policies address these new issues. Therefore, the Land Use Element is also consistent with Section 163.3177 (11), F.S. In 1993, Section 163.3164, Definitions, of Chapter 163, Part Il, F.S., was amended to add definitions for "coastal area", "downtown revitalization", "urban redevelopment", "urban infill", "projects that promote public transportation", and "existing urban service area". In addition, Section 163.3178, Coastal Management, was amended to require coastal local governments to identify spoil disposal sites in the future land use and port elements. Changes to both of this sections will be acknowledged and properly addressed through this EAR process. y. Page 1-30 95- 839 Land Use Element Revised 11/01/95 s CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 9J-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE Chapter 9J-5. Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). through its rules. minimum criteria for review of local government comprehensive plans and determination of compliance. Subsection 9 J-5.006, F.A.C., sets all overall element requirements for the Land Use Element. Since 1988 there have been several amendments to this Section, including the following; New requirement to identify any existing dredge spoil disposal sites on the existing land use map for coastal counties that have dredge disposal responsibilities (This will be done in the Coastal Management Element of the MCNP); New requirement to base the Element on population projections as prescribed in the general requirements section of this Chapter. New requirement for objective calling for the coordination of future land uses by encouraging the elimination or reduction of uses that are inconsistent with any interagency hazard mitigation report recommendations. (This will be done in the Coastal Management Element); New requirement for objective ensuring the availability of dredge spoil disposal sites.(This will be done in the Coastal Management Element); New requirement to display the location of transportation concurrency management area boundaries, if any, on the future land use map. (This will be done in the Land Use Element, if applicable.) To certain extent, the Land Use Element already addresses some of these new requirements. However, compliance with all these changes will occur during the 1995- 1996 MCNP update. RECOIV MENDATIONS, CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS The following recommendations reflect the previous chapters of this report, notably the discussions of current issues, achievement of objectives and continued policy relevance. During the interval between publication of this report and the filing of the MCNP amendment applications to implement the EAR recommendations, staff will further study these issues and discuss them with the Planning Advisory Board (PAB) to enable tiling of the best possible adjustments and enhancements to the MCNP in 1996-97 By and large, while the overall objectives and philosophy of the MCNP do not require revision, a much more concerted effort must be given to implementing actions such as code enforcement, (including maintenance of vacant lots and removal of debris and trash from public rights -of -way), landscaping and urban beautification, and neighborhood identity enhancement. 1. Update and Enhance Land Use Plan Map and Text As a result of adoption of the MCNP in 1989, followed closely by the adoption of a new zoning ordinance, a number of errors were accidentally created between the MCNP Future Land Use Plan Map and the city's Zoning Atlas. Most of these inconsistencies were resolved through an omnibus MCNP plan amendment in the early 1990's; but some inconsistencies remain to be resolved. With the implementation of the City's GIS capabilities, it will be possible to finally bring these two maps into consistency with one another. In updating the Land Use Element Future Land Use Plan Map, the land use recommendations of the Station Area Design and Development (SADD) Plans adopted for the Metrorail station areas of the city should be reflected. 2. Reorient Neighborhood Planning Program Policies should be added to the MCNP to reorient the neighborhood planning program to produce physical plans emphasizing land use and urban design for small strategic planning areas. These should include planned activity centers, both CBD and neighborhood community centers, other business -designated nodes and their surrounding transitional areas where higher density redevelopment should be promoted; important highly traveled transportation corridors; and infill areas with high potential for Page 1-32 95- 830 Land Use Clement Revised 11101/95 i redevelopment. Also to be emphasized should be problems of code enforcement, vacant lot maintenance, and trash pickup that escapes normal collection procedures. This fine- grained approach to revitalizing Miami's neighborhoods can promote better neighborhoods, increase the community's ability to house population increases, and provide a overall better quality of life for its citizens. 3. Update Existing Objectives and Policies Some of the Objectives and Policies of the MCNP are obsolete, mainly because they contain 1980's-era data that needs to be updated. This work should be the subject of MCNP EAR -based amendments. 95-- 830 Land Use Element Page 1-33 Revised 11/01/95 Appendix LU-1 LIST OF PLAN AMENDMENTS MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN 1989-2000 1989 - DATE �f - TYPE DCA COMPLIANCE NO.

FOLLOWS PAGE 5 METRO-DADE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ELEMENT ......................FOLLOWS TABLE II. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION SUBELEMENT OF THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Introduction Under the Charter of Metropolitan Dade County, Metro -Dade is granted authority and responsibility for all transportation planning and implementation within the county. In this role the county has authority over the arterial and collector highway systems in the metropolitan area, and prepares the areawide plan in which these facilities and the State's highways must be included, and to which they must conform. Municipalities in Dade County, of which Miami is the largest, have no direct authority over these arterial systems —which are the facilities subject to mandatory level -or -service (LOS) standards —for planning, management, or improvement. Therefore, unlike other Florida municipalities, the City of Miami possesses no authority to plan, build, operate and maintain, or improve its major thoroughfare system. Despite this lack of authority, however, the City of Miami, as a local government in Florida, is nonetheless required to adopt a Transportation Element that includes establishment of required LOS standards for facilities over which it has no control. As part of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, (MCNP), the City referenced the Metro -Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) for the Data and Analysis portion of the MCNP. But the City was not satisfied with the conventional vehicular volume/capacity methodology for measuring LOS that the county used, and substituted instead a new methodology based on person -trips in transportation corridors. This innovative methodology, which was accepted by the DCA, has been in use since adoption of the MCNP. Earlier this year (1995), Metro Dade County obtained a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) designation for all of the county lying east of the Palmetto Expressway/SW 75 Avenue, which includes all of the City of Miami. Under this designation, LOS standards will not be subject to the concurrency requirements governing development in the unincorporated area and, should the eligible municipalities choose to adopt the TCEA designation, in their territories as well. In the evaluation and appraisal of the Transportation Element of the MCNP, the City notes that its unique LOS standards have worked well as a substitute for conventional methodology. With adoption of the TCEA designation, however, the City might wish to resume use of the conventional LOS methodology for convenience, since under the TCEA it no longer would forestall nami's redevelopment as a compact urban center. Alternatively, since the Transportation Corridors methodology provides incentives toward efficient use of multi -modal transportation systems, it could be retained despite the inconvenience of using an unorthodox 95- 830 8/21/95 Page II-2 approach. These alternatives need more thoughtful input before decisions are made in the amendment process to be undertaken in 1996. Background for this Element The adopted 1989 MCNP presented the Data and Analysis portion of the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Elements separately, as then required by the state. The Goals, Objectives, and Policies, however, Nvere joined in a single Transportation Element, reflecting the City's philosophy that mass transit is a frill partner with streets and highways in the transportation realm. Subsequently, the state has done the same, but for EAR reporting purposes, the earlier division is still in effect. Hence, the City of Miami EAR includes Parts II and III as Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit, respectively, but evaluates Plan Objectives under a single Transportation Element heading. With the exception of this Summary, the Evaluation of Plan Objectives from the adopted MCNP, and Recommendations for Future Action, the material in this Element is reproduced directly from the Metro -Dade County EAR. Existing Conditions and Trends The City's roadway network has undergone only a few, minor capacity improvements through the construction of additional roadway lanes, new expressway interchanges and new roadway extensions. Between 1989 and 1994 fewer than a dozen such improvements were constructed on the State and County highway system within the city. While this construction activity has improved operating conditions in some areas, there is still troublesome traffic congestion along the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), Flagler Street, and SW 8 Street (Calle Ocho). Plans by Metro -Dade County and the Florida Department of Transportation to mitigate these are in various stages of preparation. Achievement of Objectives The City of Miami has made reasonable progress in achieving the following objectives of the Traffic Circulation portion of the Transportation Element during the 1989-1994 evaluation period: Objective Objective Objective 8/21 /95 TR-1.1. and Relevant Policies TR-1.1.2 and 1.1.3: Transportation levels -of - service within, and outside of, designated Transportation Corridors; TR-1.2.: Designation and reservation of rights -of -way and corridors needed for existing transportation networks; TR-1.3.: Emphasize safe and efficient traffic flow through enforcement of design standards and offering of transportation mode options; and 9 5 Page I-3 Objective MIA.: Protect and enhance neighborhood character by coordination of neighborhood plans with Land Use Plan, mitigate traffic intrusion, and use TOPICS type of improvements. Current Issues Among the key current issues in the Traffic Circulation portion of the Transportation Element EAR are the following: e The report discusses the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area provision now in effect for the unincorporated portion of the Urban Infill Area and its possible application to the City of Miami. • The report discusses the person -trip based Transportation Corridors methodology for measuring LOS and its applicability to future needs in management of the transportation system. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Traffic Circulation portion of the Transportation Element EAR are the following: 1. Prepare and adopt a new transportation element as required by Section 163.3177 (6) 0), F.S. and Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. Amendments to the current element will be required to meet new minimum criteria for preparing the transportation element. Some of the more significant requirements include: 8/21 /95 a. map existing significant parking facilities, intermodal facilities, designated local and regional evacuation transportation facilities, directional peak hours LOS, and b. analysis of available transportation facilities and services to serve existing land uses; adequacy of existing and future transportation system to evacuate coastal population; analyses of growth trends, travel patterns and land use and transportation interactions; land use compatibility around airports; analysis of existing and projected intermodal deficiencies; analysis of projected transportation system needs; and identification of transportation management programs to promote and support public transportation systems in designated public transportation corridors. C. new policies addressing: parking strategies to promote public transportation; establish measures for rights -of -way and corridor acquisition, preservation, or protection; strategies to promote use of bicycles and walking; 95- 830 Page II-4 establishment of transportation demand management and transportation system management strategies to reduce peak hour demand and vehicle miles traveled and to improve system efficiency: coordination of' roadway and transit improvements with needs of airports and ports; establishment of numerical indicators for achievement of mobility goals; and establishment of' strategies to facilitate local traffic to use alternatives to the Florida Intrastate lfiglmay System. d. map projected peak hour LOS for transportation facilities for which LOS standards are adopted. and designated future local and regional evacuation transportation facilities. 2. Amend roadway LOS standard to delete reference to short-term (1989-1994) standard and adopt the. FDOT LOS standards for the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIRS) facilities in Dade County. 3. Incorporate and adopt the highway network recommendations of the update of the MPO's 2015 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan, consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the CDMP and the MCNP. 4. Study adoption of the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area designation for the City of Miami. 5. Study the methodology for measuring LOS to determine whether to continue with the Transportation Corridors methodology or to adopt a conventional methodology.

This element evaluation has been prepared in substantial keeping with the EAR minimum criteria prescribed by Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6), F.A.C. In order to ensure that all EAR content requirements have been sufficiently addressed, the CDMP Traffic Circulation Element is organized into the following sections: Condition of Element at Date of Adoption; Condition of Element at Date of Report; Effect of Statutory and Rule Changes Since 1988; Achievement of Objectives, New Issues and Unanticipated and Unforeseen Problems and Opportunities; Major Problems of Development, Physical Deterioration, Location of Land Uses, and the Social and Economic Effects of the Major Problems Identified, and; Con- clusions and Proposed Revisions. The purpose of each Section is described in its opening paragraph. The 'Traffic Circulation Element and its Support Component provides an overview of the current and future needs of Dade County. The Element analyzes current roadway capacity deficiencies in Dade County, it provides recommendations for improving future highway capacity, and it estab- lishes a goal, objectives, and policies aimed at meeting future needs. The overall goal of the Ele- ment is to develop, operate and maintain a safe, efficient and economical traffic circulation system in Metropolitan Dade County that provides ease of mobility to all people and for ail goods, is con- sistent with desired land use patterns, conserves energy, and protects the natural environment. CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION The purpose of this section of the EAR, as identified in Subsection 9J-5.0053(6) (a) 1., F.A.C., is to provide a summary of data and analysis describing baseline conditions of the Traffic Circulation Element of the CDMP at time of its adoption in 1988. The conditions inventoried and analyzed in this element were based on the most recent available data at that time. This summary will address the pertinent Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., data and analysis requirements for the Traffic Circulation, Element. 95- 830 t Inventory of Existing System In 1988, the existing Traffic Circulation System was illustrated through a series of maps regard- ing: roadway lanes; functional classification; limited access roadways; airports, seaports and rail lines; and major existing bikeways. The number of roadway lanes is an important statistic when determining roadway capacity and the level of congestion on various roadway segments during peak hours of the day. The number of lanes is the primary determinant of capacity. Figure II-1 depicts the 1987 Roadway Lanes map for arterial, collectors and other significant roads in Dade County. In 1987, roads were functionally classified by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as either urban or rural principal arterials, minor arterials, collectors, or local roads, based on quantitative criteria. These roads were then assigned to the State Highway System, the County Road System or the City Street System. Figure U-2 identifies the 1987 functional classifications for Dade County roadways which were based on the classifications prepared by the FDOT. A limited access facility is a type of arterial roadway especially designed for through traffic, to which owners or occupants of abutting land or other persons, have only a limited right for ease- ment of access. These facilities typically include expressways or interstate highways. Figure U-3 shows the 1987 limited access roadway facilities in Dade County. Figure II-4 depicts the location of various airports, seaports, and rail lines in relationship to the highway transportation network in 1987. In 1987 Dade County was served by two railroad freight operations, the Florida East Coast Railroad (FEC) and the CSX Transportation. At that time the FEC and the CSX provided service to the Port of Miami and Miami International Airport, and the CSX carried passengers as part of the central system. Non -motorized facilities, such as bikeways and pedestrian ways provide another component of the Dade County traffic circulation system. Figure H-5 reflects the 1986 Major Existing Bikeways Map. Bikeways two (2) miles or more in length are depicted on this map. No specific facilities plan for non -motorized facilities existed in 1987. Most of the facilities shown in Figure II-5 are a combination of only the more significant on -road or off -road bikeways. Analysis of Existing System In 1987, the existing Dade County roadway network was analyzed to determine peak volumes, capacities, peak volume to capacity (V/C) ratios, and resulting levels of service. This analysis used 1986 average daily traffic counts obtained from the Dade County Public Works Department and from counts supplied by FDOT for the State Highway System. Level of Service. In 1988, the degree of traffic congestion was measured by the level -of -service (LOS) of a particular roadway segment. The LOS is expressed as a volume -to -capacity ratio (v/c ratio), which is the ratio of the number of vehicles to the road capacity during peak time periods.

II-7 95 - 8t3U Peak roadway capacities were measured based on the Urban Transportation Planning System (tTTPS) service volume capacity tables for LOS E. State and County traffic count data for 1986 were the best available data during the preparation of the Traffic Circulation Klement. The aver- age daily traffic volumes derived from these 1986 traffic counts were converted to peak volumes using a conversion factor of 0.1. The resulting calculation of v/c ratios for all roadway segments were compared to the v/c ratios in Table 1I-1 to determine LOS. Table 11-1 Level of Service Description V/C LOS Description 0 - .60 = LOS A: free flow traffic at average travel speeds .61 - .70 = LOS B: stable flow with the presence of other users in traffic stream being noticeable .71 - .80 = LOS C: uncongested with other users in traffic stream causing significant interactions .81 - .90 = LOS D: congested stable flow with major delays .91 - 1.00 = LOS E: very congested with traffic at or near capacity 1.01 + = LOS F: extremely congested with breakdown flow (major delays occurring frequently) Source: Traffic Circulation Support Component, Metro -Dade Planning Department, 1988 At the time of adoption, the short-term minimum acceptable standard for all collector and arterial roadways within the unincorporated area of Dade County was LOS E during peak period inside Urban Development Boundary (UDB). Outside the UDB, the minimum standard was LOS C for County roads and State freeways and Principal Arterials, and LOS D for State Minor Arterials. Existing System LOS Deficiencies. Figure II-6 reflects the 1986 LOS conditions at the time the Traffic Circulation Element was prepared. As it can be seen for this figure, there were a signifi- cant number of roadway segments operating at an unacceptable peak -hour LOS category of F. Most, if not all of these roadway segments, were on the State Highway System. Major conges- tion problems existed in a number of important travel corridors. To the southwest, conditions on South Dixie Highway (US 1) between Coral Way and south to Coral Reef Drive were extremely congested at LOS F. Also, portions of SR 821 (HEFT), Coral Way, Sunset Drive, Killian Park- way, SW 137 Avenue and SW 88 Street (Kendall Drive) operated at either LOS E or F. To the west, a number of arterial Highways experienced extremely congested conditions at LOS F. Examples of these conditions include a major portion of SW 8 Street (US 41) from downtown. Miami to SW 107 Avenue; and many portions of Bird Road, Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), Mi- lam Dairy Road, NW 36 Street, Le Tune Road and Red Road. In addition, portions of SR 826, SW 107 Avenue, NW 58 Street, and NW/SW 27 Avenue were congested at LOS E.

To the Northeast, major traffic congestion problems were encountered on I-95, US 441, Miami Gardens Drive (NW 183 Street), NNAI 135 Street, NW 125 Street, and nearly all of Biscayne Boulevard from downtown Miami to NE 183 Street. Programmed Capacity Improvements 1988-1992. Existing roadway system needs were de- rived through an analysis comparing current levels of service for specific roadway as shown in Figure II-6 with the acceptable LOS standards for State and County roadways as stated above. Roadway capacity improvements necessary to alledate some of the County's system deficiencies were programmed for construction in the Dade County five year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Fiscal Years 1988-1992, which was developed by the Metropolitan Planning Or- ganization (MPO). Table 11-2 identifies the roadway segments which had been programmed in the TIP for construction of capacity improvements between 1988 and 1992. High Accidents Locations. In order to examine high accident frequency data, the Metro -Dade County Police Department Data Systems Bureau compiled a list of high accident locations and re- lated statistics for the various jurisdictions within Dade County. The resulting data is reflected in Table 11-3. From a total of 43,878 accidents reported in 1986, 2638 accidents of the top 24 high - incident intersections were selected for analysis. The identified high frequency accident locations corresponds with locations in traffic corridors that were subject to high traffic volumes in 1986. A number of the accident locations were programmed for improvements in the 1988 TIP. Future Traffic Circulation Needs At the time the CDMP's Traffic Circulation Element was prepared, the most extensive analysis of future travel demand and projected levels of service available was documented in the MPO's adopted Long Range Element of the Year 2005 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan. This plan was adopted in 1985. The Long Range Element produced a series of highway and transit improve- ment projects to meet the mobility needs over a twenty year period. Figure II-7 shows the pro- jected LOS in the MPO's adopted 2005 highway network. This map indicates that projected conditions in many parts of the County would deteriorate despite additional major highway and transit improvements including frequent bus service and six major rapid transit corridors. A num- ber of corridors were projected to operate below LOS D such as: US 1, I-95, NW 36 Street, SR 836, Flagler Street, SW 24 Street, SW 40 Street, SW 88 Street, SW 107 Avenue, SW 87 Avenue, NW 183 Street, Red Road, Le June Road, and NW/SW 27 Avenue. 001M Table I1-2 Programmed Capacity Improvements In 1988-1992 Transportation Improvement Program Road From To Improvements Fiscal Year US 1 NE 151 Street NE 123 Street Widen to 6 lanes 1989-1990 NE 183 Street NE 151 Street Widen to 6 lanes 1992-1993 SW 168 Street Intersection Add turn lanes 1988-1989 NW 27 Avenue NW 42 Street NW 11 Street Widen to 6 lanes 1990-1991 (SR 9) US 41 SW 127 Avenue SR 826 Widen to 6 lanes 1990-1991 SR 821 SR 836 US 41 Widen to 6lanes 1990-1991 US 41 SW 40 Street Widen to 6 lanes 1987-1988 SR 874 SW 152 Street Widen to 8 lanes 1987-1988 SW 152 Street SW 200 Street Widen to 6 lanes 1987-1988 NW 106 Street New Interchange 1989-1990 NW 41 Street New Interchange 1989-1990 SW 120 Street New Interchange 1989-1990 SW 88 Street SW 147 Avenue SR 821 Widen to 6 lanes 1989-1990 SR 826 NW 158 Street NW 122 Street Widen to 8 lanes 1990-1991 NW 25 Street New Interchange 1990-1991 Gratigny Parkway NW 62 Avenue NW 27 Avenue New Road - 8 lanes 1988-1989 I-95 Golden Glades Interchange Reconstruction 1992-1993 NW 183 Street NW 129 Street Widen to 10 lanes 1991-1992 NW 129 Street NW 58 Street Restore 12' lanes 1989-1990 SR 112 SR 836 Widen to 12 lanes 1990-1991 NW 36 Street SR 826 NW 57 Avenue Widen to 6 lanes 1989-1990 Red Road NW 199 Street NW 183 Street Widen to 6 lanes 1988-1989 SW 107 Avenue SW 24 Street SW 56 Street Widen to 4 lanes 1988-1989 NW 135 Street 1-95 NW 27 Avenue Widen to 3 lanes 1991-92 Opa-locka I-95 NW 27 Avenue Widen to 3 lanes 1991-92 Boulevard/ SR 916 NW 25 Street NW 107 Avenue NW 72 Avenue Widen to 4 lanes 1988-89 SW 58 Street NW 72 Avenue NW 77 Avenue Widen to 4 lane 1987-88 NW 37 Avenue SR 826 Broward Line Widen to 4 lanes 1989-90 NW 67 Avenue SW 167 Street NW 202 Street Widen to 4 lanes 1987-88 SW 67 Avenue SW 40 Street West Flagler Widen to 4 lanes 1987-88 SW 117 Avenue SW 104 Street SW 152 Street Widen to 4 lanes 1991-92 SW 137 Avenue SW 120 Street SW 88 Street Widen to 6 lanes 1988-89 SW 137 Avenue SW 120 Street SW 152 Street Widen to 6 lanes 1990-91 West Flagler West 77 Avenue West 87 Avenue Widen to 6 lanes 1989-90 Source: 1988 Metropolitan Dade County Transportation Improvement Program, 1987 II-11 �5- 830 Rank Location and Jurisdiction 1 Golden Glades Interchange 2 I-95 @ SR 836 (Dolphin Exp) 3 SR 836 @ N-W 42 Avenue 4 SR 836 @ Palmetto Exp 5 1-95 @ SR 112 (Airport Exp) 6 SR 836 @ NW 57 Avenue 7 1-95 @ NW 62 Street 8 SW 88 Street @ 117 Avenue 9 SW 40 Street @ Palmetto Exp 10 NW 122 Street @ Palmetto Exp 11 SR 836 @ NW 72 Avenue 12 NW 135 Street @ 1-95 13 1-95 @ NW 103 Street 14 NW 183 Street @ 27 Avenue 15 NW 36 Street @ Palmetto Exp 16 NW 151 Street @ 1-95 17 Palmetto Exp @ SW 8 Street 18 Palmetto Exp @ NW 103 Street 19 44 Street @ Collins Avenue 20 Card Sound Road @ U.S. 1 21 1-95 @ NW 79 Street 22 I-95 @ NW 125 Street 23 SR 836 @ NW 27 Avenue 24 NW 95 Street @ I-95 Table II-3 High Accident Locations In Dade County, 1986 Percent Accident Type Number RE SS SV PB A LT MS S 363 44 20 31 1 3 1 S 227 60 12 23 3 2 S 169 49 18 29 3 1 S 142 51 15 30 4 S 130 47 21 25 6 1 S 115 60 14 23 2 1 S 113 43 33 20 1 3 f r S 106 42 4 5 27 21 1 S 95 49 16 18 6 11 C 93 42 13 39 3 3 S 93 62 13 22 3 S 91 59 14 22 1 4 S 90 52 23 16 S 86 36 9 7 7 19 19 3 S 84 48 17 27 5 3 C 78 57 19 23 1 S 78 30 21 30 15 2 2 S 77 59 13 18 1 9 S 75 37 19 20 3 7 13 1 C 69 22 13 49 6 3 4 3 S 68 47 13 33 7 S 68 66 19 9 3 3 S 66 41 20 35 3 1 C 62 56 21 16 7 1 S = State C = County RE = Rear End SS = Side Swipe u SV = Single Vehicle PB = Pedestrian/Bicycle - A = Angle LT = Left Turn MS = Miscellaneous Source: Metro Dade County Police Department Data Systems Bureau, 1987. 1, pB F ter?

Needs were identified in those areas where expansions to the Urban Development Boundary (UDB) and the Urban Expan- sion Area (UEA) were proposed in the CDN4P's Land Use Element for 2000 and 2010. The following figures represent the currently adopted traffic circulation map series, as they have been amended since the original adoption of the Traffic Circulation Element in 1988. Figure 8 shows the adopted Planned Year 2010 Roadway Network. The figure identifies the number of lanes necessary to serve the County's growth and land use pattern reflected in the Land Use Ele- ment and supports other elements of the CDMP. Figure 9 shows the adopted 2010 Roadway Functional Classification for State and County facili- ties included in the planned roadway network. Changes from the 1987 Roadway Functional Clas- sification map, reflect new roadways and certain existing roadways reclassified where growth was planned and travel demand was expected to increase and thus function differently. Figure 10 illustrates the currently adopted limited access roadways for the year 2010. f i II-14 95- 830 s nowa•o C0ur1, -.-. _ � �\irt = -' � = � � � ttt � _ !'`/onot [Curl• 1 ~nnna noa� I \`\�O` r� _,�.�-•� .... =r.. „ 1 •lilll Aji J � IA � • Js^aM•a � � - / f ���i • Wl it iWEJir a l:.11.,•'41 111111 _ _ '� a"^'".�4A "r`.. �'.�-.•C � � III�i1�i�11111C _ " �w• o � ry ''""�� � •_ 1 111 e Y••( i .l{�UR I�Y `T fi itIITUI I4i�m�1•.s • ' t• — _ . s b lu'tlSp�ln �tlitl�tlllJ'!l111RCE11l 11 iin , 1:Lr1_• • z p ............. 1-.

The EAR must describe these updated current conditions to sufficiently address the element specific rule requirements of Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. In most elements this section will present a description of element conditions between 1988 and 1994, or use the latest date for which information is available. In this way a convenient compari- son of changed conditions is presented in order to provide the basis for identifying significant trends and new developments. Also included in this section is a summary of all element amend- ments since the date of plan adoption, and a description of relevant planning activities or studies that were completed between 1988 and 1994, or that may be ongoing. Update and Analysis of Baseline Data This section updates the data on which the Traffic Circulation Element was based in 1988 in order to reflect current conditions. The summary descriptions of current conditions will be based upon the most current data available. In most cases, this will reflect conditions through 1994. Inventory of Existing System. The following provides an overview of the various characteris- tics of the County traffic circulation system as it exists in 1994. These include the number of roadway lanes, functional classification, and limited access facilities. Other transportation modes such as airports, rail rights of way, port and non -motorized facilities are also updated. Figure 11 illustrates the number of existing through lanes for the roadway network in 1994. There have been significant lane additions and roadway extensions in the western portions of the County since the 1988 Element adoption. Table H-4 lists all County and State roadway capacity improvements constructed since 1988. As shown in Table H-4, this list of approximately 50 im- provement projects also includes new expressway interchanges, new roadway facilities such as the Gratigny Parkway and the Hialeah -Hialeah Gardens Connector, and several bridge replacements.

Rule 9J-5.007, F.A.C. speci- fies using the existing Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) roadway functional classifi- cations. The functional classification of all State and County roadways needs to be reviewed and updated periodically to identify where reclassification may be warranted due to changing roadway conditions. The MOT is mandated by State law to periodically classify all State and local road- ways in Florida. The last statewide functional classification update by MOT was in 1987. That classification was used for the adopted Traffic Circulation in 1988 and is referenced in Figure H-2. A new MOT filnctional classification is not anticipated for at least another year or two. In 1992, FDOT, in cooperation with the Dade County MVO, updated the federal functional classification designation of roads in the County. Federal regulations require the federal functional classifica- tions be updated at least once very ten years following the federal decennial census. The federal functional classification designation for Dade County roads was approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 1993. During the November 1993-94 CDMP Amendment Cycle, the Traffic Circulation EIement was amended to update the adopted 1987 and 2010 functional classi- ficational maps. Figure II-12 reflects the currently updated roadway functional classification for Dade County as adopted in 1994. Figure 13 shows the 1994 limited access roadway facilities in Dade County. The only change from the 1987 map is the inclusion of the Gratigny Parkway and additional interchanges along the HEFT and SR 826. Figure 14 shows the existing airports, and seaport facilities, and rail rights -of -way as of 1994 within Dade County. Since 1988, there have been several changes. The former Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) tracks, between the Dadeland South Metrorail Station area and Florida City, have been removed and the right-of-way is now owned by FDOT. It is the future location of the South Dade Busway. The ownership of a portion of the CSX Railway right-of-way in north- east and central .Dade has also changed to FDOT. There is, however, a maintenance agreement with CSX, Tri-Rail and Amtrak for their continued use of the tracks. Furthermore, the United States Department of Defense now owns the former FEC fight -of -way between US 1 and the Air Force Reserve Base in South Dade.

This updated map in different from the 1986 map illustrating major bikeways in that it distinguishes between on -road bike lanes and major off -road paths. As in 1986, the County is served by over 100 miles of separated bike paths varying in form and function. They are mostly located in residential and park areas and serve primarily novice or recreational adult and children riders. Also shown in Figure I1-15 are marked bike lanes. There are significantly fewer riles of bike lanes, approxiniately 11.7, than bike paths. Updated Level of Service Analysis. Beginning in 1991, the methodology used to estimate road- way LOS changed from that used at the time of element adoption. The County's methodology was revised as a result of a special amendment to the CDMP in 1990. One noteworthy change re- quired the County, beginning in 1991, to estimate roadway LOS based on the latest edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). As described in the previous section of this report, in 1988, the County used an LOS methodology based on the 1965 HCM. This methodology used road- way capacity tables which classified roads by function, location and the number of lanes, and as- signed capacities to each classification. Since 1991, the County has been using an LOS software program developed by FDOT called ART -TAB. This model is designed to replicate the proce- dures of 1985 HCM. Input data requirements for this model are considerably more extensive when compared with the former methodology. Signal cycle length, signal type, arrival type, aver- age green time ratio, posted speed and adjusted saturation flow rate are some of the additional variables used in the ART -TAB model to estimate roadway segment LOS. The current operating peak period LOS conditions on all major State and County arterial and collection roadways is de- picted in Figure II-16. Peak -period is defined as the average of the two highest consecutive hours of traffic volume during a week day. The current estimate of LOS is derived from 1993 traffic count data supplied by MOT and Dade County Public Works Department using the ART -TAB model. The figure depicts LOS conditions on a total of 624 roadway segments, 85 of which are shown to be operating at LOS F, 24 at LOS E, 100 at LOS D, and 415 segments at LOS C or better. It should be noted that the peak -period operating conditions shown here represents actual traffic conditions before applying the County's LOS standards and concurrency management sys- tem conditions and requirements. For example, the operating LOS does not include the monthly tally of committed development order trips applied to each original traffic count with every de- velopment approval, nor does it give credit for increased capacity for improvements programmed for construction, consistent with the County's adopted concurrency management program. Figure II-17 surnmarizes Dade County's adopted Short -Term (1989-94) and Long -Term LOS Standards. Since January 1, 1995, the long-term standard has been in effect for determining acceptable mini- mum peak LOS conditions on all State and County roadways. The long-term standard was de- signed to discourage urban sprawl and promote urban infill and redevelopment in the existing urban core area from the Palmetto expressway ((NW/SW 77 Avenue) eastward and it recognizes the inherent difficulties in improving LOS in this area. Tlus area is designated as Urban Infill Area (UTA). Within the UTA, the traffic standards are the lowest, and between the UTA and the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), the standards are higher. Outside the UDB the standards are higher still. Where transit is available, the standards are even lower within the UTA, and in the area between the UTA and UDB.

Figure II-18 was prepared to illustrate where the roadway net- work does not currently meet the 1995 long-term LOS standard. The concurrency LOS, as illus- trated in Figure 11-18, differs from the operating LOS, as mentioned above, in that the provisions of the County's Concurrency Management System are applied to each roadway LOS calculation. That is committed development trips are applied to traffic counts affecting specific roadway seg- ments. Monthly, these committed development trips are tallied with every development approval given. In addition, allowances for increases in roadway capacity are included in any given seg- ment where capacity improvements are programmed for construction within three years. Transit availability as a component of the long-term standard is also determined for all roadways within the UDB and the UTA, and the appropriate capacity allowance for such roadway segments is calculated. i U-28 95- 830 Figure II-17 Metro -Dade County Traffic Circulation Level of Service Standard Short -'Term LOS Standard (1989-1994) Outside UDB: LOS D-State Minor Arterials* LOS C-County Roads and State Freeways and Principal Arterials* Inside UDB: LOSE Except Roads currently operating below E: 1.

Lw II-30 95- 830 Figure 1I-18 indicates those roadway segments within the County that fail to meet the adopted long-term LOS standards after taking into account the various provisions noted above. This fig- ure shows that there were 65 segments operating below the minimum concurrency LOS as of March, 1995. The majority of the road segments in Dade County not meeting the LOS standards occurs within the UTA. A recently adopted CDMP amendment designating the UTA as a trans- portation concurrency exception area will permit development urithin the unincorporated area of the UTA despite the violation of the standards shown in the figure. (A more complete description ail transportation concurrency exceptions adopted as amendments to CDMP is presented later in this report). Once the revisions to the Metro -Dade County Service Concurrency Management Program Ordinance and Administrative Order, incorporating this particular exception, as well as the other adopted exceptions, are incorporated and approved, these exceptions clan be utilized. Given the circumstances outlined above, the major area of concern pertains to those roadway seg- ments violating the LOS standards outside the UTA, in particular those deficient segments falling identified in Figure 11-18 falling between the UTA and the UDB, and two segments outside the UDB. While some problem segments seem to be randomly located in isolation from others, a pat- tern of problem segments appear clustered west of Miami International Airport bounded by the SR 826 on the east, the HEFT on the west and the between NW 58 Street and SW 8 Street. An- other potentially problem area includes segments on SW 56 Street, SW 72 Street, and SW 117 Avenue between SR 826 and the HEFT. And finally, in South Dade, the area containing seg- ments on SW 168 Street, Franjo Road, SW 200 Street, and Quail Roost Drive currently exceed the adopted standards. Table H-5 identifies all the specific deficient segments referenced above outside the UTA., and de- scribes whether capacity improvements are either currently programmed in the County's TIP and Capital Improvement Element, or are planned for improvements in the 2010 Dade County Trans- portation Plan (Note: Table 5 includes segments on SR 826 and SR 836 even though they fall within the UTA, however it is recognized that potential impacts to Florida Intrastate Highway Sys- tem must be considered even though they fall within the County's exception area.) None of the identified segments are currently programmed for construction of additional lanes and few are planned for any slated capacity improvements, except for SR 826 and SR 836. The range of po- tential solutions to roadway segments violating the 1995 LOS standards include: 1) if feasible, site or segment specific capacity improvements including consideration of additional lanes and/or in- creasing intersection capacity, 2) where feasible increase transit service and headways, 3) consider the designatio of transportation concurrency management areas, 4) where feasible, identify trans- portation demand management and transportation system management strategies to mitigate de- velopment impacts, and 5) consider lowering the adopted LOS standards outside the UTA Other short-term needed roadway capacity improvements are shown in Table H-6. These State and County roadway projects are programmed for construction between 1996 and 2000 in the 1996 Dade County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and were identified in the Year 2010 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan as recommended improvement Priorities 1 and 2. Many of these projects may serve to improve conditions in the vicinity of concurrency LOS problem seg- ments, and others will help maintain LOS conditions.

High Accidents Locations. The Metro -Dade County Police Department Data Systems Bureau compiles the high -accident location statistics from the various jurisdictions within Dade County. From a total of 203,744 accidents reported in 1994, 3,774 accidents occurred at the top 23 high - accident intersections in the County. Table 7 identifies the location of the 23 highest accident locations. There are five locations which are included within segments operating at LOS F, and 1 included within a segment operating at LOS E. Therefore, it appears that traffic congestion is not a significant factor in the occurrence of accidents at the top 23 locations. A comparison was made of the accident data with the updated 1994 information. In 1986 there were 24.3 accidents per 1000 population. In 1994 there were 101.4 accidents per 1000 popula- tion. That is a relative increase of 317 percent per 1000 population. There were 11 locations out of the 1986 top 24, that were also among the top 23 locations of 1994. In 1986 there were four County jurisdiction locations among the top 24 accident locations, while in 1994 that figure only increased to six. It should be noted that accident data regarding actual type was not available for the 1994 update. 17-33 s Table II-6 Programmed Capacity Improvements In 1996-2000 Transportation improvement Program — -- Facility From To Improvements Year SR 826 NW 103 Street NW 122 Street Widen To 8 Lanes 1998/99 US I NE 163 Street Miami Gardens Drive Widen To 8 Lanes 1995/96 US I Miami Gardens Give Wm Lehman Cs -N, Widen To 6 Lanes 1997/98 US I N Of County Line S Of STR S-18 Rd Widen To 4 Lanes 1998/99 SR AIA 5th Street 26 Street Widen To 6 Lanes 1999/2000 SR 826 US 1 NW 158 Street Widen To 6 Lanes 1997/98 US 1 Wm Lehman Cs" NE 209 Street Widen To 8 Lanes 1998/99 US I S OF STR S-18 Card Sound Rd Widen To 4 Lanes 1996/97 NW 21 St/NW 32 Ave NW 37 Avenue NW 28 Street Widen To 4 Lanes 1999/2000 SW 137 Avenue SR 821 SW 336 Street Widen To 4 Lanes 1996/97 NW 36/41 Street NW 87 Avenue NW 77 Avenue Widen To 6 Lanes 1995196 SW 72 Avenue SW 50 Street SW 48 Street Widen To 4 Lanes 1995196 SW 72 Avenue SW 48 Street SW 56 Street Widen To 3 Lanes 1995/96 SW 117 Avenue SW 40 Street SW 8 Street Widen To 4 Lanes 1997/98 SW 40 Street US 1 SW 27 Avenue Widen To 3 Lanes U/C NE 10 Avenue NE 79 Street NE 81 Street Widen To 4 Lanes 1998199 NE 10 Avenue NE 81 Street NE 87 Street Widen To 3 Lanes 1998/99 SW 47 Avenue SW 8 Street Flagler Street Widen To 3 Lanes 1995/96 Tamiami Canal Dr/ SW 8 Street Flagler Street Widen To 3 Lanes 1996/97 Tamiami Blvd NW 151 Street NW 37 Avenue NW 22 Avenue Widen To 5 Lanes U/C NW 17 Avenue NW 119 Street Opa-aka Blvd. Widen To 5 Lanes 1995/96 NW 87 Avenue NW 154 Street NW 186 Street Widen To 4 Lanes 1999/00 NE 12 Avenue NE 151 Street NE 167 Street Widen To 3 Lanes 1996/97 NE 15 Avenue NE 159 Street Miami Gardens Drive Widen To 3 Lanes 1995/96 Miarni Gardens Dr Con US I Wm Lehman Cswy New 4 Lane 1997/98 NE 123 Street W.

II-36 i 95- 830 Amendment History Since Date of Adoption Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 2.b., F.A.C. requires that the EAR provide a summary of each amendment to the text, goals, objectives and policies, and to the future conditions maps that have been adopted since the original adoption dace of the plan. There have been 9 amendments to the Traffic Circulation Element since the date of adoption. These amendments are summarized below. Special Compliance Amendment, July 1989. The CDMP was adopted on December 6, 1988 and in January 1989 the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) issued a Notice and Statement of Intent to find the CDMP not in compliance. Following extensive negotiations, a compliance agreement was entered into. The terms of the agreement required changes to Policy 1B of the traffic Circulation Element pertaining to the County's adopted traffic LOS standards and the corresponding portion of Capital Improvements Element Policy 3C, and adding to the Capital Improvements Element a description of the County's Concurrency Management Program. Briefly, the changes to the Traffic LOS standards included the following: 1) raised the LOS stan- dard for roadways outside the UDB for both the short and long term to LOS D for State Minor Arterials and to LOS C for other State and County roads; 2) allowed additional short term traffic increases inside the UTA; 3) imposed the following limitations on the extent to which develop- ments could rely on roadway and transit improvements that are planned but not yet contracted for construction: a) no development approvals may be granted outside the UDB on uncontracted fa- cility improvements, b) between the UDB and UTA boundary, programmed improvements must be contracted for construction within 18 months, and c) inside the UTA, programmed improvements must be contracted for construction within three years; and 4) required that after December 31, 1990, LOS would be measured based on the latest addition of the ITighway Capacity Manual. This amendment was adopted April 17, 1990 by Ordinance Number 90-37. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) reference number was 90-2 and the Notice of Intent Number (NOI) was 90-2-NOI- 13 01 -(A)-(I). April 1990 Amendment Cycle. During the April 1990 Cycle, two applications were filed by the County to amend the Traffic Circulation Element. Application No. 32 proposed amending the Planned Year 2010 Roadway Network map, the Roadway Functional Classification - 2010 map, and the Limited Access Roadway Facilities - 2010 map of the future traffic circulation element map series in order to incorporate the recommendations of the MPO's updated Metro -Dade Transportation Plan, Long -Range Element to the Year 2010. Adoption of this amendment appli- cation implemented Traffic Circulation Policy IA for the County to prepare proposals to revise the Traffic Circulation Element based on the technical findings and policy proposals of the up- dated Long Range Transportation Plan. Application No. 33 provided 6 additional roadway revisions to the 2010 roadway network and 2010 functional classification maps. These amendments incorporated technical corrections to the future functional classification and lineage designations for certain roadways. The amendment U-3 7 95- 830 was adopted on April 23, 1991, by Ordinance Number 91-48, The DCA reference number was 91-1 and the NOI Number was 91-1-NOI-1301-(A)-(1). April 1991 ,Amendment Cycle. One amendment application was filed by the County to amend the Traffic Circulation Element map series. Application No. 8 proposed amending the 2010 road- way network, functional classification and limited access roadway facilities maps to delete three segments of roads between SW 167 and SW 177 Avenue in an area where the roads would cross the proposed West Wellfield along SW 172 Avenue from SW 26 Street to SW 72 Street. The amendment would eliminate the potential for non -local roadway traffic through the wellfield and would minimize potential risks of hazardous materials being spilled in close proximity to the wells. The second part of the application called for the addition of a roadway segment contained in the MPO's Metro -Dade Transportation Plan, Long Range Element to the Year 2010. The amend- ment would extend SR 874 from SW 152 Street to SW 137 Avenue. Without this connection, 2010 traffic simulations projected increased volumes and deteriorating LOS in other surrounding roadways. Both amendments were adopted on April 28, 1992 by Ordinance Number 92-32. The DCA reference number was 92-1 and the NOI number was 92- 1 -NOI- 13 0 1 -(A)(1). November 1993 Amendment Cycle. Three applications were filed by the County during this amendment cycle to the Traffic Circulation Element. Application No. 7 proposed amending the 2010 roadway network map to include two roadway widening improvements in response to ac- tion taken by the MPO to include the same two projects in the MPO's 2010 Transportation Plan. The amendment was proposed to maintain consistency between the two plans. The application proposed showing SW 152 Street between SW 117 and SW 137 Avenues as a six lane facility and SW 137 Avenue between SW 312 Street and SW 344 Street as a four lane facility. Application 8 proposed updating the 1987 functional classification designations of State and County roads and change the date to 1992, and to update the 2010 functional classification desig- nations of State and County roads. The update of the functional classification maps was based on the 1992 federal functional classification of roads in Dade County as required by federal regula- tions at least once every 10 years following the federal decennial census. The reclassification was cooperative effort between FDOT, the MPO, Planning Department and the Public Works Department. Application No. 9 proposed amending both the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) and Traffic Circulation Element. Part A of the application revised the County's concurrency management program requirements contained in the CIE to grant certain transportation concurrency excep- tions outlined in Section 163.3180, F.S. The following concurrency exceptions were proposed: 1) designate the UTA and redevelopment areas outside the UTA but inside the UDB as transporta- tion exception areas, 2) allow exceptions for uses which pose a part-time demand, and develop- ments that promote public transportation, 3) allow exceptions for developments in Iocations where adequate transportation projects are programmed in years 4 and 5 of the CIE schedules of improvements if a developer commits to his fair share payment toward construction and right-of- way costs; and 4) allow a "de-minin-Lis" exception that would exempt small scale low density or in- tensity uses from concurrency requirements. II-3 8 95- 830 Part B of they application proposed amending Traffic Circulation Policy l D pertaining to compli- ance with the adopted LOS standards contained in Policy I for the transportation concurrency exception allowed in concurrency management program as outlined in the CIE. An additional Traffic Circulation Policy IG was proposed relating to giving top priority, among transportation improvements, to capital projects which would relieve congested Florida Intrastate Highway Sys- tem roadways. These amendments were adopted October 13, 1994 by Ordinance Number 94-192. The DCA reference number was 94-2 and the NOI number was 94-2-NOI-1302-(A)-(I) May 1994 Amendment Cycle. Two applications were filed by the County to amend the Traffic Circulation Element. Application No. 10 proposed adding a roadway improvement to the 2010 roadway network map. This amendment would widen NW 138 Street (SR 916) between NW 57 and NW 67 Avenues to four lanes. This amendment was proposed in response to the FDOT pro- gramming and preliminary engineering work phase for four Caning this roadway in the FDOT 1995 Work Program and in the MPO`s 1995 TIP. Application No. 11 proposed deleting from the 2010 roadway network and 2010 functional classi- fication maps NW 117 Avenue between NW 12 Street and NW 122 Street as a two lane County collector road. The close alignment of this road to the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turn- pike (HEFT) creates conflicts with proposed HEFT interchanges limiting the function of the exist- ing and fixture segments of NW 117 Avenue as continuous collector road. Both amendments were adopted o April 18, 1995 by Ordinance No. 95-72. The DCA reference number is 95-1. At the date of this report DCA has not yet issued its NOI for this amendment cycle. Ongoing Planning Activities Since the adoption of the Traffic Circulation Element in 1988, numerous planning activities or studies have been undertaken to address different transportation issues. Listed and described be- low are some of the major activities and studies relevant to the Traffic Circulation Element. These activities fall under two different categories, those that are part of the continuous transpor- tation planning activities required of the Dade County WO and those that are more issue ori- ented and have been completed or are still underway. Metro -Dade Transportation Plan and Improvement Priorities Long Mange Plan (LRP) - 2010. The current LRP was adopted by the M.PO in November, 1990. The LRP summarizes the transportation improvements proposed for the metropolitan area ground transportation system for the next twenty years. The document fulfills ongoing Federal, State and local requirements that guide the activities of the MPO. Its purpose is the make recommendations regarding a number of highway and transit capacity improvements considered to be necessary to effectively meet future transportation needs. The recommended actions are based on an extensive analysis of travel de- mand and level of transportation service. The LRP was based on land use assumptions in the adopted 1988 CDMP and improvements were defined to address adopted CDMP highway and transit LOS standards. The project listings explicitly indicate the relative priority of the various improvements from 1990 to 2010. II-39 95- 830 The update of the LRP to 2015 began in 1993-94. The estimated date of final MPO adoption is July - September, 1995. Dade County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a transportation im- provement programming document for all modes, prepared annually by the MPO. It specifies pro- posed transportation improvements to be implemented witlun the next five years for the metropolitan area. Such proposed improvements include those listed in the FDOT 5-Year Work Program. Federal regulations require projects receiving federal funds be chosen from the TIP. All projects are reviewed for consistency with the CDMP and the MPO Long Range Transporta- tion Plans. The TIP, in essence, becomes the implementing mechanism for the Long Range Transportation Plan. Dade County Transportation Demand Management and Congestion Mitigation Study. In 1993, the MPO completed a congestion mitigation study. The study reviewed congestion mitiga- tion strategies and made recommendations to implement 13 actions for adoption. The report sug- gested a multi -agency committee to guide the process. One of the major recommendations of the report was the development of a trip reduction ordinance. A trip reduction ordinance requh % major employers to develop, implement and enforce a plan to reduce the number of peak hour automobile trips generated by their place of employment. Although the Congestion Mitigation Study was approved by the MO, the ordinance has not been implemented yet. The study also rec- ommended a series of short and long term travel demand strategies and programs. Dade County Congestion Management System. The Miami Urbanized Area is required by federal regulations, to establish a Congestion Management System (CMS). This system is in- tended to investigate, evaluate and implement strategies to increase the efficiency of the transpor- tation system and to minimize or eliminate construction of new single occupant lanes. The federal requirements present a number of different categories of strategies available for the CMS. The MPO has the primary responsibility for developing and implementing the CMS and it is to be co- ordinated with FDOT. In order to implement the requirements of the CMS, the County's MPO commenced a study in 1994 to develop the Dade County Congestion Management System (renamed the Dade County Mobility Management Process). The study will establish a methodology for identifying and evalu- ating congested corridors in the County and identify difr'erent improvements and strategies to in- crease mobility. The range of strategies will include TDM techniques, TSM, traffic operational improvements, high occupancy vehicle lanes, transit capital projects and operational improve- ments, bicycle and pedestrian improvement parking management and access management, to name a few. An interim CMS must be operational by October 1995, Roadway Pricing Study. This study, completed for the MPO in 1994-95, studied the issues and potential solutions involving Dade County's traffic congestion problem from a road pricing (sup- ply and demand) perspective. Road pricing is a travel management technique where monetary in- centives and disincentives are used to encourage or discourage travel. Road pricing essentially imposes a toll on road users. The more one uses the toll facility, the more one pays and, or course, the user has the option of not using the toll facility. Congestion pricing is a subset of road 1140 95- 830 pricing and involves placing premium or congestion tolls on roads during peak hours. These types of higher user fees are designed to discourage peak usage and reduce congestion; and in- crease revenues to improve peak capacity of congested facilities. The study recommended a four phase implementation plan concerning 1995-2010. The strategies recommended include: raising tolls on all existing tolled facilities, adding HOV lanes, implement congestion pricing, convert toll facilities from manual operation to automated operation, and implement HOV lane pricing. All recommendations were made at a sketch -planning level of analysis and it recommended that more detailed project -specific road pricing feasibility studies were needed for all projects listed before implementation. Dade County Transportation Authority Feasibility Study. 'This study, prepared for the MVO in 1993-94, examined the feasibility of creating a transportation authority in Dade County, high- lighting certain advantages and disadvantages, and compared institutional and structure options from a nationwide survey of expressway authorities. In 1995, the Dade County Board of County Commissioners formed the Dade County Expressway Authority. Countywide Parking Policy Study. This study will commence in mid-1995. It's objectives are to inventory major parking facilities, estimate existing and future parking demand and supply, de- velop a set of parking strategies that may alleviate traffic congestion and improve mobility, and to evaluate the feasibility of forming a Countywide Parking Authority that establishes countywide parking policy within Dade County. High parking availability at most destinations both in terms of the number of spaces and low daily costs, continue to encourage high levels of private auto use. The study will specifically examine parking's role in inducing and sustaining travel related to both pattern and volume, especially with respect to encouraging SOV travel; its use as a govern- mental control for land use and zoning; its purpose in local government revenue generation; its role in economic development and development attractiveness and institutional issues such as fi- nancing and joint development. This study should pro -vide some of the data necessary to comply with the Rule 9J-05.019, F.A.C. requirements regarding major parking facilities. Metro -Dade Bicycles Facilities Plan. The MPO is currently finalizing a Bicycle Facilities Plan for Dade County. The plan is anticipated to be adopted by the MVO in July 1995. The plan con- sists of a comprehensive review of existing bicycle facilities and needs. Recommendations are provided for additional facilities and improvements to existing facilities. The plan recognizes that a large portion of bicycle use in Dade County is related to recreational activities. The plan also includes an assessment of the existing funding sources for implementing the actions recom- mended. Once the plan is adopted by the MPO, the more significant recommendations will be in- corporated into the proposed Transportation Element of the CDMP. EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 6., F_A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in: 1) Section 187.02, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP); 2) the appropriate strategic re- gional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, Part 1I, F.S. (Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria For II-41 95- 830 Review of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated, Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP). These plans, in effect, replace the existing re- gional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adop- tion in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifica- tions cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above referenced statutory and rule changes, this element will rec- ommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. Consistency with State Comprehensive Plan Section 187.201 (20), F.S. (Transportation) contains a goal and policies relevant to the Traffic Circulation Element. There have been no changes to this section of the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP) that have impacted the requirements of the Traffic Circulation Element. Therefore, the Traffic Circulation Element remains consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. Consistency with the Strategic Regional Plan for South Florida In February 1995 the South Florida Regional Planning Council released a proposed draft of the revised Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) for South Florida. This subsection of the EAR will identify regional goals and policies in the draft plan which are relevant to the Traffic Circulation Element, focusing on Element consistency with the identified SRPP goals and policies. These goals and policies are located in Section IV (Strategic Issues, Goals and Policies), Subsection 5 (Transportation) of the SRPP. Strategic Regional Goal 5.1 -calls for the promotion of both mobility and accessibility in order to foster economic development, preserve natural systems, improve air quality, increase access to af- fordable housing and promote safety. The traffic circulation Element goal supports this regional goal and therefore remains consistent. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.2 promotes the use of multimodal transportation corridors and pub- lic transit service to link major regional activity centers. The CDNiP's Land Use Element Objec- tive 3 and Policy 3A. call for activity centers to be served at locations having high countywide multimodal accessibility. In addition, a recent Land Use Element amendment established a re- gional activity center in order to encourage higher intensities of development by increasing the threshold of the development size required to undergo State review as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI). Traffic Circulation Element Objective 4 states that the element will be coordinated I1-42 95- 830 with the Land Use Element goals, objectives and policies and with the Land Use Plan Map. The Traffic Circulation Element is consistent with this Regional policy. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.3 calls for the concentration of high density land uses (such as com- pact residential, commercial and mixed use land use patterns) and development of infili parcels along multimodal transportation corridors, including transit service. The CDMP's Land Use Ele- ment is consistent with this regional policy through the following policies: Policy 3A. which re- quires that high intensity activity centers shall be facilitated by Metro -Dade County at locations having high countywide multimodal accessibility; Policy 3B. states that land in the vicinity of pub- lic mass transit stations shall be planned and developed in a manner that is compatible with, and supports the transit system; and Policy 3C. states the County shall approve infill development on vacant sites in currently urbanized areas, and redevelopment of substandard or underdeveloped environmentally suitable urban areas contiguous to existing urban development where all neces- sary urban services and facilities are projected to have capacity to accommodate additional de- mand. Furthermore, the Mass Transit Element is also consistent with this regional policy. Objective 2 calls the provision of efficient transit service with the location and intensity of desig- nated future land use patterns as identified on the Land Use Plan Map. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.4 encourages inter -modal connections to multimodal transportation corridors and the development of high density land uses patterns around those inter -modal con- nections. The CDMP's Mass Transit Element's Objective 8, which requires the encouragement of ease of transfer between mass transit and all other modes, where it improves the functioning of the transportation network, is consistent with this policy. Also, Objective 2 also calls the provi- sion of efficient transit service with the location and intensity of designated future land use pat- terns as identified on the Land Use Plan Map. In addition, Land Use Element Policy 3A. which requires that high intensity activity centers shall be facilitated by Metro -Dade County at locations having high countywide multimodal accessibility, is consistent wit this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.8 encourages road and transit safety through the use of urban de- sign, roadway design and the design and positioning of signage. The Traffic Circulation Element is consistent with this regional policy. Objective 3 requires the County's transportation system will emphasize safe and efficient management of traffic flow. Furthermore, Policy 3A. specifically addresses roadway design. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.1 Q encourages measures to make a variety of transportation options, including bicycle use and pedestrian travel as viable alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle. Policy bE of the Traffic Circulation Element calls for the support of high occupancy vehicles and bikeways. In addition, Traffic Circulation Objective 7 and its policy cluster supports this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.11 encourages the use of Transportation Management Organiza- tions and Travel Demand Management (TDM) program to promote changes in travel behavior and to reduce the use of the single occupancy velvcle when deemed most effective. Traffic Circu- lation Policy lE supports similar type demand management approaches, however, to meet the re- quirements of a new proposed Transportation Element, an objective and/or policy cluster will be II-43 95- 830 proposed toIspecificallyaddress the encouragement of the use of TMOs and TDM programs to promote changes in travel behaNior and to reduce the use of the single -occupancy vehicle. Strat gic Regional Policy 5.1.16 encourages the utilization of proven technologies and the devel- opmk nt of new technologies to improve accessibility and mobility, decrease real time travel and redu�;e the use of single occupant vehicles (SOV). This policy addresses issues similar to Strate- gic l .egional Policies 5.1.10 and 5.1.11. See responses to these regional policies. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.18 calls for preserving natural systems by guiding the regional trans- por.ation system and its associated development away from areas which contain natural resources of , egional significance. The Traffic Circulation Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 6 and its policy cluster calls for planning and developing a transportation system that preserves energy and natural resources and promotes community aesthetic values. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.19 calls for improving regional air quality and reduce negative im- pacts to other natural resources by connecting development with multi -modal transportation sys- tems. The Traffic Circulation Element is consistent with this Regional policy. Policy 6E requires the pursuit and support of transportation programs that will help to maintain or provide necessary improvement in air quality and which help conserve energy. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.20 calls for improving regional air quality by promoting the use of alternative fuel vehicles and less polluting vehicles and by utilizing Travel Demand Management alternatives and strategies. The Traffic Circulation Element is consistent with this Regional pol- icy. As stated above, Policy 6E calls for pursuit and support of transportation programs that will help to maintain or provide necessary improvement in air quality. Traffic Circulation Policy IE is also consistent with this policy. Consistency with Chapter 163, fart H, Florida Statutes (FS) The requirements of Section 163.3177(6)(b), F.S., for the Traffic Circulation Element have not been amended since 1988. Therefore, the current adopted Traffic Circulation Element remains consistent with these provisions. In 1993, Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., was amended in several ways which impacted the Traffic Cir- culation Element. Identified below are the specific legislative changes. Section 163.3164, F.S. was amended to add definitions for downtown revitalization, urban rede- velopment, urban infill, projects that promote public transportation, and existing urban service area. These definitions were added to clarify terminology used in s. 163.3180, F.S. regarding transportation concurrency exceptions. With the exception of downtown revitalization, these terms have been incorporated in the CDMP Capital Improvements Element description of the County's Concurrency Management Program. Therefore, the CDMP is consistent with these new definitions. II-44 95- 830 Section 163.3177(6)0), F.S. was added to the statute in 1993 and requires local governments which have all or part of its jurisdiction within an urbanized area as defined by s. 339.175 to pre- pare and adopt a new Transportation Element in lieu of the rcquirements for the Traffic Circula- tion, Mass Transit, Port and Aviation Elements. The CDMP is not currently consistent with this new requirement and an EAR -based amendment to the CDMP is necessary to include the pro- posed Transportation Element. Section 163.3180, F.S. regarding concurrency requirements is a new section that was added to Chapter 163 in 1993. This new section defines which public facilities and services are subject to the concurrency requirement and clarifies that sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage and potable water facilities shall be in place to serve development no later than the issuance by the local gov- ernment of a certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent. Parks and recreation facilities must be in place or under actual construction no later than one year after issuance of a certificate of occupancy. And finally, the statute specifies that transportation facilities needed to serve de- velopment shall be in place or under construction no more than 3 years after issuance of a certifi- cate of occupancy. The description of the County's concurrency management program in the Capital Improvements Element was amended during the 1993 CDMP November Amendment Cy- cle to be consistent with the provisions noted above. Therefore, no further changes are required to the CDM Y. Other significant provisions of s. 163.3180, F.S. permit exceptions from the concurrency require- ments for transportation facilities. A local government may grant such exceptions if: 1) the pro- posed development promotes public transportation or is located within an area designated in the comprehensive plan for: urban infill development, urban redevelopment or downtown revitaliza- tion; 2) development located in the above listed areas pose only special part-time demands on the transportation system; 3) development is considered a de-minimis impact as defined by state law; or 4) development is located in an area designated in the comprehensive plan as a transportation concurrency area (TCMA). In addition, Section 163.3180(9), F.S. provides for a long term trans- portation concurrency management system addressing backlogged transportation facilities, and Section 163.3180(11) F.S., provides for private contributions to local government capital im- provement planning. Finally, Section 163.3180(10), F.S., requires that local governments adopt the FDOT LOS standards for facilities on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIRS). Figure I1-19 identifies the State roads in Dade County designated by FDOT as FINS facilities. It also shows the minimum LOS standard for these facilities. The County has already adopted CDMP amendments, as described in a previous section of this report, consistent with provisions of Sections 163.3180 (1); (2)(a), (b), and (c); (5)(b) (c) (d); (6) (8) and (11), F.S. The County is analyzing the applicability of the TCMA provisions and the long term transportation concurrency management system. The Traffic Circulation. Element is not con- sistent with the required adoption of FDOT's FIRS LOS standards. An EAR -based amendment will be proposed to provide plan consistency with this statutory requirement. 11-45 95- 830 Y J UAOT :.ii:4.` j r, ae�. ♦ Y' �+j� n ..Y = 1 .mil L�M�A._11 UAa 1[NS D• � KI16 _ 1 p1 RSUa1 _ Y. 1 Jam. i lJ I ,� -- ,It!

I 2-4 6 C�MARKV UAYYSY2.CDA 95- 830 Consistency With Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Since the Traffic Circulation Element was adopted in 1988, there have been two significant amendments or changes to Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. that in some way relate to this element. The first change to Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., added Rule 9J-5.0055, F.A.C., Concurrency Management Sys- tem, in 1989. This rule required local governments to adopt as a part of the comprehensive plan the establishment of a concurrency management system. The rule clarified the public facilities and services for which a local government must adopt levels of service, and established minimum re- quirements for concurrency. Rule 9J-5,0055, F A.C. was later amended in 1994 to include mini- mum criteria related to the concurrency provisions in Section 163.3180, F.S. (as described in the previous section). Specifically, the rule was amended to address the various transportation con - currency exceptions described in the statute, to provide minimum requirements related to a long- term transportation concurrency management system, and reiterated the statutory requirement for local governments to adopt the level of service standards established by FDOT for the FiHS. In addition, the former provisions of Rule 9J-5.0057, F.A.C. related to transportation concuurency management areas (TCMA) were repealed in 1994, and new amended minimum criteria for TCMAs were added to Rule 9J-5.0055, F.A.C. The CDMP is currently consistent with require- ments of Rule 9J-5.0055, F.A.C. except for provisions related to the FIHS LOS standards. As mentioned in the previous section regarding Chapter 163, F.S., consistency, an EAR -based plan amendment will be required to maintain consistency with this Chapter 9J-5 requirement. The second change added Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C., Transportation Element, requiring local govern- ments whose jurisdictions is within an urbanized area of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to prepare and adopt a transportation element. For affected jurisdictions, the transporta- tion element replaces the required plan elements of traffic circulation, mass transit, and ports, aviation and related facilities. Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. provides the minimum criteria for preparing the transportation element. In order to be consistent with the provisions of Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C., EAR -based CDMP amendments are required. Listed below are the additional data, analy-. sis and goal, objective and policy requirements associated with the former traffic circulation ele- ment requirements which are not currently addressed in the CDMP. Subsection 9J-5.019(2), existing transportation data requirements: - Significant Parking facilities; Intermodal terminals and access to intermodal facilities; - Designated local and regional transportation facilities, critical to the evacuation of the coastal population prior to an impending natural disaster. Map of existing peak hour, peak direction LOS for roads and corridors; and - Map of capacity of significant parking facilities and duration limitations Subsection 9J-5.019(3), transportation analysis requirements: II-47 r: 95- 830 - An analysis of availability of transportation facilities and services to serve existing land uses; - An analysis of adequacy of existing and projected transportation system to evacuate the coastal population prior to an impending natural disaster; - An analysis of the growth trends and travel patterns and interactions between land use and transportation, and the compatibility between the future land use and transportation ele- ments, including land use compatibility around airports; - An analysis of existing and projected intermodal and projected intermodal deficiencies and needs such as terminals, connections, high occupancy vehicle lanes, park -and -ride lots and other facilities; - An analysis of the projected transportation system LOS and system needs based upon the future land use categories, including their densities or intensities of use as shown on the fu- ture land use map or map series, and the projected integrated transportation system; and - An analysis which identifies land uses and transportation management programs necessary to promote and support public transportation systems in designated public transportation corridors. Subsection 9J-5.019(2), transportation goals, objectives and policies: - One or more goal statements which establish the long-term end toward which transporta- tion programs and activities are ultimately directed. - One or more specific objectives for each goal statement which address the requirements of Subsection 163.3177 (6) 0), F.S., and which: 1. Provide for a safe, convenient, and energy efficient multimodal transportation system; 2. Coordinate the transportation system with the future land use map or map series and en- sure that existing and proposed population densities, housing and employment patterns, and land uses are consistent with the transportation modes and services proposed to serve these areas; 3. Coordinate the transportation system with the plans and programs of any applicable met- ropolitan planning organization, transportation authority, Florida Transportation Plan and Florida Department of Transportation Adopted 'Work Program; and 4. Provide for the protection of existing and future rights -of -way from building enforcement. 5.

For facilities on the Florida intrastate Highway System as defined in s. 338.001 F.S., the local governments shall adopt the level of service standards established by the Department of Transportation by rule. For all other facilities U 48 95-- 8300 on the future traffic circulation map, local governments shall adopt adequate level of serv- ice standards. These level of service standards shall be adopted to ensure that adequate facility capacity will be provided to serve the existing and future land uses as demonstrated by the supporting data and analysis in the comprehensive plan. 2. Establishment of parking strategies that will promote transportation goals and objectives; 3. For existing or future transportation rights -of -way and corridors designated in the local government comprehensive plan, establish measures for their acquisition, preservation, or protection; 4. Establishment of land use and other strategies to promote the use of bicycles and walking; 5.

Subsection 9J-5.019(2), future transportation map series: The proposed Transportation Element must also include the general location of the following transportation proposed features on the future transportation map or map series: - Parking facilities that are required to achieve mobility goals; - Transportation concurrency management areas, if any; - Transportation concurrency exception areas, if any; - Projected peak hour levels of service for all transportation facilities for which level of serv- ice standards are established; and - Designated local and regional transportation facilities critical to the evacuation of coastal population prior to an impending natural disaster. H-49 95- 830 ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES This section of the EAR evaluates the progress in achieving all of the adopted CDMP Traffic Cir- culation Element objectives as of the date of this report. Objective achievement analysis may in- volve the use of baseline data that existed at the time of adoption and for current conditions that are described in previous sections of this EAR_ The comparison of such data provides a useful benchmark for determining achievement of the objectives over the last six years, In other in- stances where objectives are more directory in nature, acknowledgment of implementation will be used to assess achievement. Each Traffic Circulation Eleinent objective is listed below followed by a description of the monitoring measure associated with that objective. In many cases the monitoring measure listed for a specific objective was adopted as part of the element's monitoring program. Where a listed monitoring measure could not be used to adequately address a particular objective, an appropriate surrogate measure was developed and applied to evaluate objective achievement. In instances where neither a listed monitoring measure nor a surrogate measure could be used or adequately developed, then objective achievement was evaluated through a pol- icy implementation assessment. Suggestions are included, where appropriate, for the need to revise objectives in order to make them more specific and measurable, or to revise the Element's monitoring program to provide logical measurable standards where the current measures are vague or inadequate. An analysis of policy relevancy is also discussed below. All policies under each element objective are reviewed for continued relevance, but only those policies which may require some revision are identified and addressed. Objective 1 It is desirable that all roadways in Dade County operate at Level of service (LOS) C or better. By the year 2000 no roadways in Dade County should operate at a level of service lower than the base level of service standard contained herein. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The Traffic Circulation Monitoring Program identified the adopted LOS standards as the monitoring measure for Objective 1. The County monitors and evaluates current LOS conditions for County and State facilities on a monthly basis based on a methodology consistent with the Mghway Capacity Manual. The County's adopted LOS standard is two tiered, that is, an initial set of standards governed between 1959 and 1994. Beginning in 1995 another set of standards would be in force. As of the date of this EAR the County has tran- sitioned into the 1995 long term LOS standard. This standard as described in an earlier section is somewhat more stringent in the outlying suburbanizing portions of the County requiring a higher LOS be maintained, while inside the designated 'UTA the standards are less stringent and allows transit availability to compensate for roadway LOS deficiencies. Conditions in the objective achievement analysis reflect the 1995 base LOS standard. Objective 1 Achievement Analysis. Current LOS conditions are monitored and evaluated on a monthly basis as a function of the Metro -Dade concurrency management system (implemented by II-50 95- 83-A Ordinance Number 89-66 and Administrative Order Number 4-85). A review of the March 1, 1995 LOS conditions indicates that a total of 65 roadway segments or approximately 10 percent of the segments monitored, were not meeting the LOS standard Countywide. The improvements programmed in the TIP 1996-2000 are expected to improve only 1 segment of these deficient seg- ments and the LRP-2010 identifies 26 such segments to be improved (most of which are priority 1 projects). The remaining segments or any other segments that may fall below the standard in the future will initiate concurrency limitations on development which would otherwise impact such segments, until the standard is met. In addition, as indicated in a previous section, the deficient segments located within areas of major traffic congestion will also be subject to further study and analysis. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Listed and discussed below are only the policies which may require some change. The policies not listed hereunder are directive in nature and continue to have relevance and should be retained. Policy IA. This policy states that by 1990, Dade County will adopt a Long Range Transportation Plan that will achieve Traffic Circulation Objective 1 and within one year of the update of the Long Range Transportation Plan proposal to revise the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Ele- ments should be prepared accordingly. This policy was partially achieved and still relevant. Dade County will adopt a Long Range Transportation Plan that will continue to achieve Traffic Circula- tion Objective 1 above, in a manner consistent with the other objectives of the CDMP. Policy 1B. This policy defined the adopted Short-term and Long-term LOS standard for all State and County roads. As discussed above the Long-term LOS standard has now been instituted. It is proposed that the Short-term standard be deleted. The portion of the policy explaining the Long- term standard still has relevance and should be retained. Policy 1C. This policy states that the County shall, by 1999, maintain and enhance as necessary, a comprehensive traffic counting system for annually monitoring the roadway level of service on, at a minimum, the County roadway system. This has been implemented, yearly counts are taken on County and State facilities. In addition, current LOS conditions are monitored and evaluated on a monthly basis as a function of the Metro -Dade concurrency management system. It is proposed that this policy delete reference to the "1989" date and rephrase it to state that such monitoring shall continue. Policy IF. This policy states that Dade County shall formalize procedures and requirements for all development, regardless of size, to contribute its proportionate share of transportation facili- ties, or funds or land therefor, necessary to accommodate the impact of the proposed develop- ment. This has been implemented through the adoption of the Road Impact Fee ordinance on December 6, 1988, and the adoption of the Metro -Dade County Impact Fee Manual on May 23, 1989. The manual established procedures, guidelines and policies essential for implementing the ordinance which mandates development's proportionate contribution for transportation facilities H-51 95- 830 a or funds or land therefor, necessary to accommodate the impact of the proposed development. The policy should be modified to continue implementation of these requirements. Objective 2 Rights -of -way and corridors needed for existing and future transportation facilities will be desig- nated and reserved. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The Traffic Circulation Monitoring Program identified the en- forcement of minimum right-of-way requirements established in Chapter 33 of the Code of Metropolitan Dade County and Public Works Manual through acquisition or dedication as the monitoring measure. Objective 2 Achievement Analysis. Sun-e'l"o'6ir'uvurny"iras- continued to achieve this objec- tive through the enforcement of the minimum rights -of -way requirements established in Chapter 33 of the Code of Metropolitan Dade County. In addition, in August 1993, a Railroad Rights -of - Way Assessment study was prepared for the MPO. In the assessment, rail rights -of -way (R..O.W.) were identified for their potential future uses but no protection strategies were exam- ined. Recent State Supreme Court case decisions are making it more difficult for local jurisdic- tions to protect any type of transportation corridor. Therefore under current conditions, it appears that protection strategies may need to concentrate on a shared multimodal right-of-way approach. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Listed and discussed below are only the policies which may require some change. The policies not listed hereunder are directive in nature and continue to have relevance and should be retained. Policy 2A. This policy references maintaining and enforcing the minimum right-of-way require- ments in Chapter 33 of the County Code to ensure continuity of the thoroughfare system. Thus policy needs to strengthen the prohibition on building in the zoned right-of-ways in Section 33-46 of the County Code. No lots or parcels should be exempt from the zoned right-of-way dedica- tions even if they are located outside the UDB. All section, half, and quarter -section line zoned right-of-way should be preserved throughout the County. Policy 2C. This policy states that advance rights -of -way shall be reserved or acquired, where necessary for future transportation improvements identified in the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Elements. This policy will still continue to have relevance and should be retained, how- ever, since the words "Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Elements" will be replaced with "Transportation Element". II-52 95- 830 M Objective 3 The County's transportation system will emphasize safe and efficient management of traffic flow. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The Traffic Circulation Element Monitoring Program identifies enforcement of adopted roadway design standards and procedures in the Public Works Manual during the review of site plans and plats of proposed developments and identification of high accident -frequency locations. Objective 3 Achievernent Analysis. This objective has been achieved since 1988 through the enforcement of the adopted roadway design standards and procedures in the Public `'Forks Man- ual has been and will continue to be accomplished. All plats dedicated since 1988 have complied with the roadway design standards and procedure of the Public Works Manual. Furthermore, re- medial actions to alleviate hazardous conditions at high accident -frequency locations has been partially achieved, since six of the high accident -frequency locations have either been improved or are currently under construction. In addition, for three additional such locations, improvements are planned for the future. Table III-8 identifies the roadways which were identified as high accident -frequency locations and which have either been improved, are under construction or are planned for improvement. Table III-8 Improvements to Ifigh Frequency - Accident Locations Location Segment Status I-95 at SR 836 8 to 10 Lanes Complete I-95 at NW 62 St. 8 to 10 Lanes Complete SW 88 St. at SW 117 Ave 6 to 8 Lanes Complete NW 36 St. at SR 826 4 to 6 Lanes Complete Golden Glades Inch.

Even though such improvements have not been even programmed for the majority of high accident -frequency locations, the list of such locations will provide guidance for future scheduled improvements. II-53 Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such poli- cies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. Objective 4 The Traffic Circulation Element will continue to be coordinated with the goals, objectives and policies of the Land Use Element, including the land uses, Urban Development Boundary and Ur- ban Expansion Area designated on the Land Use Plan map, and with the goals, objectives and policies of all other Elements of the CDMP. CDMP Monitoring Measures. This Traffic CircWation Element Monitoring Program does not cite an appropriate measure for this objective. A surrogate measure of coordination with the adopted components of the Land Use Element will be used. Objective 4 Achievement Analysis. This objective has been achieved since all amendments to the CDMP have been analyzed for internal consistency with the Traffic Circulation Element since 1988. Amendments to any element to the CDMP have been analyzed to determine consistency with the goals objectives and policies of the Traffic Circulation Element and the amendment's po- tential impact on the current and future roadway network. Furthermore, no amendments to the Land Use Element objectives, policies and the Land Use Plan map have been found inconsistent with the Traffic Circulation Element. It is proposed, however, that references to the Traffic Circulation Element will be changed to the Transportation Element. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such poli- cies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. A minor change to Policy 4A. will replace the reference to the "Traffic Circulation Element" with the "Transporta- tion Element". Objective 5 The traffic circulation system will protect community and neighborhood integrity. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The Traffic Circulation Element Monitoring Program did not identify an adequate monitoring measure for this objective. A surrogate measure will be the num- ber of roadway projects deleted or modified due to concern for community integrity. Objective S Achievement Analysis. This objective has been implemented by the review process for potential roadway construction and improvements which provides both the technical and "grass root" input necessary to protect community and neighborhood integrity. All State and II-54 95- 830 County roadway improvement projects are programmed in the TIP, which is updated annually. During the design stages of road improvement projects, the Metro -Dade Department of Environ- mental Regulation Management (DERM) reviews landscaping and requires buffer zones where necessary, in order to promote community aesthetic values. Apart from the various technical re- views each project receives for inclusion into the TIP, there are also two advisory committees re- sponsible for the review of potential impacts on community and neighborhood integrity. These committees are the Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) and the Transportation Aesthetic Review Committee (TARC). The CTAC forum provides citizens the opportunity to evaluate the recommendation developed through the MPO transportation planning and program- ming process, as well as to raise pertinent issues. One of the primary responsibilities of the com- mittee is to ensure that proposed transportation projects are responsive to the community's perceived needs and goals. The TARC was created to ensure that high visibility transportation projects are reviewed for their aesthetic impact on the community before contracts are finalized. Since 1988 the following roadway improvement projects have either been modified in scope, de- ferred or deleted from the MPO's TIP because of neighborhood or community concerns: •SW 56 Street from SW 57 Avenue to SW 67 Avenue, four lane widening; •SW 67 Avenue from US 1 to SW 40 Street, four lane widening; •SW 72 Avenue from SW 72 Street to SW 80 Street, four lane widening; •SW 112 Street from SW 97 Avenue to US 1, four lane widening; •NW 183 Street from I-95 to US 1, six lane widening; *Venetian Causeway, four lane widening; and *Biscayne Boulevard at NE 203 Street, grade separation. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such poli- cies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. Objective 6 Plan and develop a transportation system that preserves environmentally sensitive areas, conserves energy and natural resources and promotes community aesthetic values. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The Traffic Circulation Element Monitoring Program cites the review of various plans and programs of the Florida Department of Transportation, South Florida Regional Planning Council, municipalities in Dade County, and adjacent counties for consistency with the objectives and policies of the Traffic Circulation Element, the Land Use Element, and all other Elements of the CDMP, as the monitoring measure. Objective 6 Achievement Analysis. This objective has been implemented through the various types of reviews required. during the planning and development of transportation improvements. Concerns regarding the environment, natural resources and aesthetics are accommodated through H-55 95- 830 the Florida -State Clearinghouse Advance Notification process (for all Federal and State -funded transportation projects); the DERM review process; the CTAC review process; the TARC review process; the Metro -Dade Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee; and the MPO public hearing process. As stated previously, one of the various tasks of DERM and the some of the aforesaid committees is to review landscaping and require buffer zones where necessary, in the design of transportation projects in order to promote community aesthetic values. Furthermore, policies in- cluded in this Element as well as the Land Use Element which encourage urban infill, high inten- sity uses near activity centers with multimodal accessibility and which discourage urban sprawl, all promote energy and natural resource conservation. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such poli- cies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. Objective 7 The safe and convenient movement of pedestrians and non -motorized vehicles shall be accommo- dated in Dade County. CDMP Monitoring Measures. Location of bicycle and pedestrian facilities through site plan- ning, plat reviews, and review of other transportation improvement plans, and implementation status of the Comprehensive Bicycle PIan. Objective 7 Achievement Through Policy Implementation Analysis. Since the objective of the accommodation of safe and convenient movement of pedestrians and non -motorized vehicles in Dade County is difficult to quantifiably measure, the following policies are being evaluated to measure achievement of the objective. Policy 7A. The County shall promote and assist in the creation of a Countywide system of inter- connected designated bicycle ways, and promote the implementation of the Dade County Com- prehensive Bicycle Plan (CBP) by 1992. The referenced Comprehensive Bicycle Plan was not a facilities plan specifically designating bicycle facilities. The Metro -Dade Bicycle Facilities Plan was recently completed and is expected to be adopted by July 1995. This policy should be modi- fied to reference the facilities plan. Policy 7B. The County shall encourage inclusion in, and review of all plans and development proposals for provisions to accommodate safe movement of bicycle and pedestrian traffic, and fa- cilities for securing non -motorized vehicles. This policy has been accomplished through the enforcement of Chapter 22 of the Metro -Dade County Code, as well as the Public Works standard Detail Manual which require the installment of public ways for all subdivisions. Furthermore, during the site plan review process, the B-56 95- 830 installment of public -way extensions to adjacent sidewalks and bike paths are required to ensure continuity. Policy 7C. This policy will still continue to have relevance and should be retained, however, it should be modified to include reference to the Metro -Dade Bicycle Facilities Plan. This policy has been accomplished and, in fact, surpassed through the adoption of MVO Resolu- tion No. 49-93, adopted November 4, 1993, mandating the use of the Bicycle Facilities Develop- ment Guide which intern requires that all new roadway projects shall be designed and constructed to provide for bicycle facilities where feasible. This resolution actually requires more than the policy mandates, since it provides that such consideration be made for all new roadway projects, not just those designated by the Bicycle Plan. The Bicycle Facility Development Guide requires special design considerations, including preparing the roadway surface to accommodate 1-1/4 inch tires, special lane widening, and shoulder considerations. Furthermore, roadway improve- ments will be reviewed to eliminate and minimize obstacles, barriers, and specific hazards to bicycles. Policy 71). The County shall consider the use of utility easements and transit or railroad rights - of -way as locations for bicycle ways linking major urban activity centers. Included in the Dade County Bicycle Facilities Plan is the South Dade Greenway Network, a pro- ject initiated by the Redland Conservancy Group. This network wi11 eventually provide 194 miles of ped, bike, canoe and equestrian trails in an area between Kendall Drive and the Monroe County - line. The project will utilize rights of way owned by the Metro -Dade County, the South Florida Water Management District, Florida Department of Transportation, and the City of Homestead, The first phase of the network , the South Dade Trail, will open in fiscal year 1995-96, Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Listed and discussed below are only the policies which may require some change. The policies not listed hereunder are directive in nature and continue to have relevance and should be retained. Policy 7A. The intent of this policy will still continue to have relevance and should be retained, however, since the proposed Transportation Element will include a change deleting the 1992 tar- get date and state that the Dade County Bicycle Facilities Plan will continue to be implemented. Policy 7C. This policy will still continue to have relevance and should be retained, however, it should be modified to include reference to the Metro -Dade Bicycle Facilities Plan. Policy 7D. This policy will still continue to have relevance and should be retained, however, the proposed Transportation Element will add a reference to the eventual creation of a Greenways Plan. 1I-57 95- 830 r--w Objective 8 Dade County's Traffic Circulation Element, and the plans and programs of the State, region and local jurisdictions, will continue to be coordinated. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The Traffic Circulation Element Monitoring Program identified the following measures for this objective, review of the various plans and programs of the Florida Department of Transportation, South Florida Regional Planning Council, municipalities in Dade County, and adjacent counties for consistency with the objectives and policies of the Traffic Cir- culation Element, the Land Use Element, and all other Elements of the CDMP; review the status of improvements programmed for construction in TIP and CIE, and the status of improvements listed as Traffic Circulation Improvement Needs for 1994, 2000, and 2010. Objective 8 Achievement Analysis. This objective has been achieved through four required re- view processes. The County considers CDMP consistency while reviewing FDOT projects through the Florida State Clearinghouse Advance Notification process, and reviewing the com- prehensive plan amendments of other County municipalities or adjacent Counties. In the Advance Notification process, all Federal and State -funded transportation projects are reviewed by the County during planning and development stages. Ali County agency comments on individual state projects are consolidated into one response to the state. Since 1988, County has reviewed 41 such projects through the Advance Notification process. In addition all large-scale develop- ment projects such as Development of Regional Impact (DRI), in coordination with the South Florida Regional Planting Council (SFRPC), are reviewed for impacts and consistency with the various elements of the CDMP, including the Traffic Circulation Element. The local government comprehensive plan amendment review process, as specified in s.163.3184, F.S., provides for the County a review and comment period concerning any proposed municipal comprehensive plan amendments for impact on any County plan element. Since 1988, the County has commented ap- proximately 61 proposed municipal plan amendments for consistency, including potential impacts in the County traffic circulation system. In addition, the County commented on approximately 5 proposed plan amendments by Broward County or adjoining Counties. Annually, the MPO prepares and adopts a Transportation Improvement Program as described in an earlier section of this report. All transportation improvement projects programmed in the TIP, including, State and County highway projects and projects related to transit, aviation, seaport, and non -motorized facilities are reviewed by the County for consistency with the traffic circulation, mass transit, and the port and aviation elements, as well as other elements of CDMP, when neces- sary. In addition to the TIP, FDOT's five-year work program is reviewed annually for consistency with the CDMP and the MPO's 2010 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan. Any discrepancies be- tween the work program and the County's plans are identified and relayed to FDOT. This objective continues to be relevant and should be retained. II-58 �5- 830 Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such poli- ties are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained with only minor changes to two of them. Policies 8A and 8C should be modified to reference the "Transportation Element" instead of the "Traffic Circulation Element". NEW ISSUES AND UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 5., F.A.C. requires the EAR to identify, describe and evaluate how new issues, problems and opportunities have affected the plan elements since adoption. Described below are all issues, problems, and opportunities that have impacted the Element since 1988, in- cluding, where relevant, data and analysis. In some instances, data and analysis pertinent to new issues, problems or opportunities may be referenced from other sections of this element evalua- tion.. Needed actions or proposals addressing issues, and problems or opportunities are identified. New Issue - Increase Adopted Minimum Roadway Standards to Level of Service C The currently adopted LOS standards are primarily LOS E in the Urban Infill Area (UTA) from SR 826 and 77 Avenue eastward, and LOS D in the urbanizing areas from SR 826 and 77 Avenue westward to the CDMP's Urban Development Boundary (UDB). In addition, as stated earlier in this report the County must adopt FDOT's minimum LOS standards on all designated Florida In- trastate Highway System (FIRS) roadways. In Dade this will primarily be LOS D on all express- ways and LOS B on portions of Krome Avenue and Okeechobee Road. On April 7, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution that during the EAR process, the County consider adopting LOS standard C or better in the urbanizing area of the County. Due to lack of data available from the update of 2015 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan, forecasting the long term impacts of using the stricter LOS C standard is not feasible at this time. However, a follow-up analysis of the technical and financial implications of attempting to attain LOS C will be prepared during the preparation of EAR -based amendments. Based on current LOS conditions in the County, approximately 90 roadway segments outside the UTA are operat- ing at LOS C. Added to this with roadways segments reported earlier that are currently violating the standards outside the UTA, the total number of segments at LOS C or worse would total ap- proximately 132 (includes FIHS roads violating FIHS standards). There could be more segments violating LOS C pending further analysis of the concurrency requirements in place. Further analysis is needed to fully understand the impacts of raising the LOS standard to C. Unforeseen Problem -Vested Development Impacts On Roadway Level Of Service And Concurrency Developments that have been vested as a result of having been approved prior to the establish- ment of the County's concurrency management regulations are beginning to have an impact on available capacity of some road segments, especially in the West Dade area. In this area, a signifi- cant number of approved but not _yet built large-scale development projects, and their correspond- ing development peak -hour trips, have reserved significant amounts of available roadway capacity, making it increasingly difficult for non -vested development to meet roadway concur- rency requirements. An analysis of the West Dade area is currently being prepared for the County called the Post -Hurricane Short Range Transportation Study -West Dade Area Task. This study is investigating roadway capacity deficiencies in this area and will recommend improvement strate- gies and actions. The cumulative demand of approved trips in this area is specifically being con- sidered. Upon completion of the study and its acceptance by the County, significant recommendations and actions should be incorporated in preparation of the proposed transporta- tion element. MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, LOCATION OF LAND USES, AND THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED This section of the EAR examines major problems in the County related to development, physical deterioration, and the location of land uses and their social and economic effects, as required by Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4., F.A.C. The Rule identifies fifteen specific items (Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4.a.-o., F.A.C.) to be addresses as part of the evaluation of each element. Not all of the items listed, however, are relevant to individual plan elements. Therefore, only those items which would affect a particular element are addressed. With respect to the Traffic Circulation Element, four of the fifteen items are relevant. These items are listed as follows: e- The Effect of Concurrency. In 1989, the County established the Service Concurrency Man- agement Program which provides procedures and methods for reviewing proposed development orders against the concurrency requirements for the seven public facilities or services. Since 1989 the County has not generally experienced widespread roadway concurrency problems. Over the last four years approximately 68 roadway concw-rency denials were issued as a result of enforcing concurrency requirements. As indicated in an earlier section of this report, and as shown in Fig- ure II-18, approximately, 40 road segments currently violate the LOS standard outside the UTA (but including SR 826 and SR 836) and represent a potential for denial of future development or- ders. Also, see discussion in the previous section regarding the unforeseen problem of vested de- velopment impacts. iM 95- 830 d. The Maintenance and/or Achievement of Adequate Level of Service Standards The maintenance and achievement of the roadway LOS standards is described in the section of this report entitled, "Condition of Element at Date of Report". h. Physical Deterioration of Public Buildings, Utilities, Infrastructure, Recreation Facili- ties, and Parks, and the Need for Replacement of Rehabilitation. Currently there are no major problems with physical deterioration of the public infrastructure in- cluded in the Traffic Circulation Element. Dade County Public Works Department has an ongo- ing program to review and maintain major County roadways. This includes approximately 3900 miles of roadway under County jurisdiction and 161 miles within municipalities. The facilities are designated as being in poor, fair or good condition. All roadways identified as having poor and fair condition are resurfaced. The program is funded by various sources such as the Secondary Gas Tax, Impact Fees, and Local Option Gas Tax. o. The Social and Economic Effects of the Major Problems Previously Identified by Pro- viding a Description of the Efforts. There can be economic effects resulting from items c. and d. mentioned above. Through the im- plementation of the transportation concurrency exemptions and the Long-term Standard's empha- sis on promoting premium transit corridors, the potential exists to improve the economic viability of those areas of the County which are best served by transit. The positive social effects would necessarily follow as a result of any urban infill area revitalization. CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS This section of the element evaluation presents a summary of general conclusions and identifies needed actions and/or proposed plan amendments to address or implement identified changes as discussed in other sections of this report. Proposed revisions may include the identification of new and revised goals, objectives and policies, revised future condition maps, capital improve- ment schedules and monitoring and evaluation procedures. While actual proposed amendment language is not included, the general nature or types of changes are clearly described. All pro- posed revisions presented here have been carefully finked to the evaluation of current conditions within the County, objective achievement, issues, problems and opportunities and other sections of this element report. The required schedule for transmittal and adoption of evaluation and appraisal report - based amendments in Subsection 9J-5.0053 (3) b. and (6) (a) 8.b., F.A.C. is described in the introduc- tion to the Land Use Element Evaluation and Appraisal Report. 11-61 Conclusion As indicated in an earlier section of this report, Section 163.3177 (6) 0), F.S. requires that Dade County prepare a new transportation element in lieu of the requirements for separate traffic circu- lation, mass transit and port and aviation elements. In addition, Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. establishes the minimum requirements for preparing the transportation element. While the transportation ele- ment incorporates many of the previous data, analysis, policy and mapping requirements of the former traffic circulation element, there are several new provisions that must be addressed. Most of these new transportation requirements are outlined in the subsection of this report entitled "Consistency with Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C." . EAR - based plan amendments will be prepared to en- sure afl of the new roadway related requirements are included in a proposed transportation element. A key component to the preparation of the transportation element will be the update of the analy- sis of future highway needs based on the technical findings and update of the MPO's Metro -Dade Transportation Plan for the Year 2015. The plan will specify highway and transit improvements for the 1995-2015 period. This will coincide with the 10 and 20 year planning horizon proposed for the updated CDMP. The current analysis of future highway needs is based on the adopted 2010 Transportation Plan prepared in 1990 and is nor consistent with new growth projections. The 2015 Transportation Plan update is based on revised projections of social and economic vari- ables, including revised population projections and land use assumptions, and new estimates of fu- ture travel demand. A 2015 Needs Plan will be developed and contain all transportation projects and assign priorities to recommended projects. In addition, a Cost Feasible Plan will also be de- veloped based on the Needs Plan with adjustments for the estimated levels of public and private financing available. It is anticipated that the 2015 Transportation Plan update will be completed in July -September 1995. Based on the results of the recommended first five priority of County highway improve- ments, the need to revise CDMP Capital Improvements Element will be evaluated and amend- ments will be proposed as necessary. Proposed Revisions to the Objectives and Policies Objective 1. The target date in Objective 1 should be changed from "2000" to "2005". Also, change the desirable LOS to LOS D or better. Policy 1A. The target date of"1990" should be changed to "1995" and references to the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Elements should be changed to the Transportation Element. Policy 1B. Delete the interim period (1989-1994) LOS standard as the time period has passed. Add a provision adopting FDOT's minimum LOS standards for FIHS roadways in Dade County as required by s. 163.3180(10), F.S. Delete references to Special Transportation Areas (STAs) as their designations are no longer sanctioned, H-62 95- 830 Policy 1C. Since the County did enhance the traffic counting program by 1989, therefore delete the reference to that year and rephrase the portion of the policy that requires the County to con- tinue to maintain its program annually. Policy 1E. The new requirements of Subsection 93-5.019(4), F.A.C., mandate the inclusion of a policy regarding establishment of transportation system management strategies as well as trans- portation demand management programs. The intent of Policy lE of the current CDMP will be enhanced to establish these programs. Policy 1F. This policy should be rephrased to maintain continued implementation of the Road- way Impact Fees Ordinance. Policy 2A. This policy will be modified to strengthen the prohibition on building in the zoned rights -of -way in Section 33-46 of the County Code. No lots or parcels should be exempt from the zoned right-of-way dedications, even if they are located outside the UDB. All section, half - section and quarter -section line zoned rights -of way should be preserved throughout the County. Policy 2C. References to the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Elements should be replaced with the Transportation Element. Objective 4. References to the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Element should be changed to the Transportation Element. Policy 4A. References to the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Element should be changed to the Transportation Element. Policy 7A. Reference to the Dade County Comprehensive Bicycle Plan should be replaced with the Metro -Dade Bicycle Facilities Plan. Policy 7C. References to the Bicycle Plan should be replaced with the Metro -Dade Bicycle Fa- cilities Plan. Policy 7D. It is proposed that this policy be modified to include the creation of a Countywide Grreenways Plan by 1997. Objective 8. Reference to the Traffic Circulation Element should be replaced with the Transpor- tation Element. Policies 8A. and 8C. Reference to the Traffic Circulation Element should be replaced with the Transportation Element. II-63 9 5_ 830 Proposed Revisions to the Future Traffic Circulation Map Series Future Condition Maps Update and prepare revised future map series consistent with the requirements of Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. Proposed Revisions to the Monitoring Program The overall description of the monitoring program will be revised and updated to be consistent with current procedures. In addition modifications will be made as necessary to comply with transportation element requirements. The Traffic Circulation Element's monitoring measure for objectives 4, 5, 6 and 8 were combined and therefore did not adequately address the specific concerns of each objective. The following are proposed changes for the new Element. Objective 4 Monitoring Measure. This measure should quantify the number of Element amendments revised for consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the Land Use Ele- ment, including the land uses, Urban Development Boundary and Urban Expansion Area desig- nated on the Land Use Plan map, and with the goals, objectives and policies of all other Elements of the CDMP. Objective 5 Monitoring Measure. This measure should quantify the number of reviews proc- essed for potential roadway construction and improvements, provided by oversight committees committed to the protection of community and neighborhood integrity. Objective 6 Monitoring Measure. The recommended measure should include the number of TSM and TDM programs implemented; the number of arterial landscaping improvements completed; Objective 8 Monitoring Measure. This measure should quantify the number of reviews com- pleted on various plans and programs of the FDOT, MPO, and where appropriate, adjacent coun- ties, and annually verify the consistency of programmed improvements for implementation in the TIP with the CDMP.

MASS TRANSIT SUBELEMENT OF THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Introduction Under the Charter of Metropolitan Dade County, Metro -Dade is granted authority and responsibility for all transportation planning and implementation within the county. In this role the county has authority over any public transportation in the metropolitan area for which a user fee is charged. Indeed, the county's authority is so broad that municipalities in Dade County, of which Miami is the largest, are specifically precluded from establishing, maintaining and operating, or permitting any public transportation systems. Therefore, unlike other Florida municipalities, the City of Miami possesses no authority to plan, build, operate and maintain, or contract for, a public transit system. Despite this lack of authority, however, the City of Miami, as a local government in Florida, is nonetheless required to adopt a Transportation Element that includes establishment of required level of service (LOS) standards for mass transit services over which it has no control. As part of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, (MCNP), the City referenced the Metro -Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) for the Data and Analysis portion of the MCNP, and set transit LOS standards that were identical to the county's. In the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, the county's work is again utilized. Background for this Element The adopted 1989 MCNP presented the Data and Analysis portion of the Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit Elements separately, as then required by the state. The Goals, Objectives, and Policies, however, were joined in a single Transportation Element, reflecting the City's philosophy that mass transit is a full partner with streets and highways in the transportation realm. Subsequently, the state has done the same, but for EAR reporting purposes, the earlier division is still in effect. Hence, the City of Miami EAR includes Parts II and III as Traffic Circulation and Mass Transit, respectively, but evaluates Plan Objectives under a single Transportation Element heading. With the exception of this Summary, the Evaluation of Plan Objectives from the adopted MCNP, and Recommendations for Future Action, the material in this Element is reproduced directly from the Metro -Dade County EAR. 8/21 /95 Existing Conditions and Trends In 1994 the Metro -Dade transit system consisted of three major components: a fleet of over 600 Metrobuses serving 73 regularly scheduled fixed routes; and Metrorail and Metromover, two major fixed guideNvay transit facilities. The Metrorail consists of an elevated, electrically powered 21.1 rnile heavy rail system serving 21 stations, 10 of them in the City of Miami, while Metromover is a 4.4 mile downtown people mover System designed to serve the central core of downtoNvii Miami with 21 stations. Additionally, the Special Transportation Services (STS) is provided as a shared ride curb -to -curb transportation service for the disabled and mobility impaired riders. Finally, Tri-Rail Commuter Service, an inter -county commuter service started in 1990, provides long distance commuter rail service to Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties and links directly with Dade County's Metrorail system at the NW 79th Street station. Since 1988 one Metrorail Station—Tri -Rai l—was added to the system, and Metromover completed the Omni and Brickell extensions adding 12 Metromover stations. Figure 3 shows the existing Metrobus and Metrorail system in Dade County. Achievement of Objectives The City of Miami has made reasonable progress in achieving the following objectives of the Mass Transit portion of the Transportation Element during the 1989-1994 evaluation period: Objective TR-1.1 and Relevant Policies TR-1.1.2 and 1.1.3: Transportation levels -of - service within, and outside of, designated Transportation Corridors; Objective TR-1.5 and Relevant Policy TR-1.5.3: Support Dade County in the provision of efficient mass transit and paratransit services. Objective TR-1.6: Coordinate City plans with Dade County plans for transportation disadvantaged people. Objective TR-1.7: Cooperate with Dade County to protect existing and future transit rights -of -way and exclusive mass transit corridors. Current Issues The key current issue discussed in the Mass Transit EAR is as follows: • The single most significant issue regarding the provision of transit service in Dade County continues to be the lack of a dedicated source of local revenues to support present and future operations of the system. Attempts to implement a one cent sales tax to be dedicated for transportation was turned. down by the voters on two different occasions, once in 1990 and in 1991. 8/21 /95 95- 830 Page III-3 a Another significant issue is the heavy reliance of inner-city residents on mass transit modes that are threatened by escalating operating costs, congested roadway conditions, and shrinking federal support. Reasonable alternative services are not not addressed. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Mass Transit subelement of the Transportation Element EAR are the following: 1. Prepare and adopt a transportation element meeting the requirements of Section 163.3177 (6) 0), F.S. and Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. and merge all relevant Mass Transit Element objectives and policies into the transportation element. Listed below are some of the significant Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. transportation element requirements related to mass transit that need to be addressed in the new element: a) map existing intermodal terminals and access to intermodal facilities; freight passenger rail lines and terminals; and identify existing peak hour, peak direction level of service for mass transit facilities and corridors or routes; b) analyses relating to existing modal split and vehicle occupancy rates; existing public transit facilities including ridership by route, peak hour capacities and headways; population characteristics, including transportation disadvantaged; and the existing characteristics of the major trip generators and attractors within the community; existing and projected intermodal and projected intermodal deficiencies and needs such as terminals, connections, high occupancy vehicle lanes, park and ride lots and other facilities; projected transportation system LOS and system needs based upon the future land use categories, including the densities or intensities of use as shown on the future land use map or map series, and the projected integrated transportation system; and transportation management programs necessary to promote and support public transportation systems in designated public transportation corridors; c) policies addressing the establishment of land use, site and building design guidelines for development in exclusive public transit corridors to assure the accessibility of new development to public transit; establislunent of numerical indicators against which the achievement of the mobility goals of the community can be measured, such as modal split, annual transit trips per capita, automobile occupancy rates; a coordinated and consistent policy with the future land use element to encourage land uses which promote public transportation in designated public transportation corridors; and the development of strategies to address intermodal tenninals and access to aviation, rail and seaport facilities. 2. Incorporate the technical results and transit -related recommendations of the update of the MPO's 2015 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan, consistent with the CDMP and the MCNP. 95- 8311 8/21195 Page III-4 3. Continue to support Metro Dade County in its policy initiatives seeking a dedicated revenue source for transit.

This element evaluation has been prepared in substantial keeping with the EAR minimum criteria prescribed by Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6), F.A.C. In order to ensure that all EAR content requirements have been sufficiently addressed, the CDMP Mass Transit Element is organized into the following sections: Condition of Element at Date of Adoption; Condition of Element at Date of Report; Effect of Statutory and Rule Changes Since 1988; Achievement of Objectives; New Issues and Unanticipated and Unforeseen Problems and Opportunities; Major Problems of Development, Physical Deterioration, Location of Land Uses, and the Social and Economic Effects of the Major Problems Identified, and; Conclusions and Proposed Revisions. The purpose of each Section is described in its opening paragraph. CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION The purpose of this section of the EAR, as identified in Subsection 9J-5.0053(6) (a) 1., F.A.G., is to provide a summary of data and analysis describing baseline conditions of the Mass Transit Element of the CDMP at time of its adoption in 1988. The conditions inventoried and analyzed in this element were based on the most recent available data at that time. This summary will address the pertinent Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., data and analysis requirements for the Mass Transit Element. Inventory of the Existing System In 1988 the Metro -Dade transit system consisted of three major components: a fleet of over 500 Metrobuses, a 21.1-mile fixed guideway Metrorail, and a 1.9-mile downtown Metromover and a specialized demand -responsive Paratransit Service. Figure III-1 illustrates the service area coverage of the 1988 mass transit system in Dade County for Metrobus, Metrorail, and Metromover. The following were the conditions of the primary components of the County's transit system, at the time of the CDMP adoption: 95- 830 ------------- Metrobus. The Metrobus system consisted of 63 regularly scheduled fixed routes using a fleet of 548 buses, which connected most areas of Dade County by operating a local, feeder, and express -bus service, logging 21 million service miles annually. Metrorail. The County's elevated and electrically powered heavy rail transit, serviced 20 stations on a 21.1-mile line with a total fleet of 136 vehicles, 68 of which were used during peak hours. Metromover. The Metromover, an elevated and fully automated rubber -tired peoplemover, serviced 9 stations in a 1.9-mile loop with a 12-car fleet, providing primary transit distribution for the downtown Miami core area. Paratransit Services. The types of paratransit services available in 1988 were as follows: - Special Transportation Service (STS), - Florida Medicaid Transportation Program; - Zoo Bus; - Education Express; - Share -A -Ride; - Kendall Area Transit (KAT). Analysis of Existing System An analysis of the existing transit system was prepared in the Mass Transit Element, and it included a description of service frequency, ridership and major traffic generators for the three primary types of mass transit provided in Dade County. Service Frequency. Metrobus service frequency was described for headways in peak hour and was based on 1987 bus routes. Figure III-2 shows the Metrobus service area and peak hour headways. The Metrorail service frequency headway was reported to have been 6 minutes during peak hour with a 15-minute headway for off-peak. The Metromover service frequency headway was reported to have been 2.5-minutes. Ridership. Transit system ridership for fiscal years 1986 and 1987 was reported by mode, as shown in Table III-1. For the two years analyzed, this table shows a stable Metrobus ridership, a 36 percent Metrorail ridership increase, and an I 1 percent Metromover increase. 95- 830 III-4 95- 830 Table III-1 Transit System Ridership Fiscal Years 1985-1986 and 1986-1987 Fiscal Year Metrobus Metrorail Metromover Total 1985-1986 60,346,521 7,643,682 1,238,951 69,229,154 1986-1987 60,541,110 10,403,774 3,278,835 74,223,719 Source: Metro -Dade Transit Agency, 1987 Major Traffic Generators. Figure III-3 identifies the major traffic generators and attractors existing in 1987. Such generators included major regional shopping centers, the seaport, government centers, major hospital and medical complexes, major attractions, cultural facilities, colleges, universities, and other major employment centers that include the Miami CBD, Miami International Airport, Opa-locka Airport, Homestead Air Force Base and significant concentrations of industrial centers. A comparison of the major traffic -generator locations with the transit service area indicated many of the generators being served by the transit system. Future Mass Transit Needs An analysis was included in the 1988 Mass Transit Element which considered the 2000-2010 mass transit needs for the three primary types of mass transit provided in Dade County. The following describes the currently adopted mass transit map series, as they have been amended since the original adoption of the Mass Transit Element in 1988. 2000-2010 Mass Transit Needs. Figure E11 4, illustrates the adopted future Metrobus service area for the years 2000 and 2010. The major factor used in determining such potential routes was the estimated demand or ridership with sufficient population density. Figure III-5 depicting the adopted future rapid transit corridor improvements for 2000 and 2010. The expansions of the Metromover projected to be in place by years 2000 and 2010 were also illustrated in the Element and is reflected in Figure III-6. Major Traffic Generators and Attractors 2000-2010.

III-10 95r- 830 CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF REPORT The purpose of this section of the EAR, as identified in Subsection 9J-5.0053(6) (a) 1., F.A.C., is to provide a summary of data and analysis describing baseline conditions of the Mass Transit Element of the CDMP at time of its adoption in 1988. The conditions inventoried and analyzed in this element were based on the most recent available data at that time. This summary will address the pertinent Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., data and analysis requirements for the Mass Transit Element. Update and Analysis of Baseline Data _ In 1994 the Metro -Dade transit system consisted of three major components: a fleet of over 600 Metrobuses, a 21.1-mile fixed guideway Metrorail, and a 4.4-mile downtown Metromover. Specialized demand -responsive Paratransit Services was also provided. Figure III-8 illustrates the service area coverage in 1994 for the Metrobus and Metrorail components. Metrobus. The Metrobus system currently has 73 regularly scheduled, fixed routes, using a fleet of 618 buses which connect most areas of Dade County operating a local, feeder, and express -bus service logging 27 million -service miles annually. Therefore, since 1988 CDMP adoption, there have been 10 fixed routes added, the Metrobus fleet increased by 70 additional buses, and 6 million more service miles have been added. Table 11I-2 lists all Metrobus routes with headway descriptions for weekend and weekday service. Metrorail. The County's elevated and electrically powered heavy rail transit, serves 21 stations on a 21.1-mile line with a total fleet of 136 vehicles, 82 of which were used during peak hours. Since 1988 one station was added. There were no extensions and no additional vehicles, however, 14 additional vehicles now service the peak hour. Metromover. The Metromover, as shown in Figure III-9 is an elevated and fully automated peoplemover system, serving 21 stations for a total of 4.4 miles, with a 29-vehicle fleet that provides primary transit distribution for the downtown Miami area. In 1994 the Metromover Omni and Brickell extensions were completed adding 12 stations, 2.5 miles and 17 vehicles. Tri-Rail Commuter Service. An inter -county commuter service was initiated since element adoption in 1988. The Tri-Rail Commuter Train started in January of 1990 and provides service to Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties, linking directly to Dade County's Metrorail system at NW 79 Street in Hialeah (see Figure III-10). Trams run on headways of approximately 60 minutes Sunday through Saturday, with extra special -event service when warranted on weekends. 95- 830 or.Ro cv.Rnn —V. _ wlx routln — ---" _ pr4L,ocu ��•.. rcn unroRr 1 � � ar.r rs TA.6.Y uRran Lr.1512T.

The types of paratransit currently available are as follows: - Special Transportation Service (STS); - Florida Medicaid Transportation Program; - Florida Metropass Program; - Zoo Bus; - Gold Coast Commuter Service; - Kendall Area Transit (KAT). There have been several changes since 1988 regarding paratransit services. The first concerns transferring Share -a -Ride services, a ridesharing program, to the Gold Coast Commuter Service. The second resulted from the deletion of the Education Express. In addition, the original KAT service has expanded to operating on three routes now during the peak hours. These include the Sunset KAT, Kendall KAT and the Killian KAY Similar type service was also introduced on three other corridors in the County. These are the Flagler MAX, Biscayne MAX and the 27 Avenue MAX. Analysis of Existing System Service Frequency. The service frequency is one measure of transit accommodation and identified below are the current service frequency headways for the three primary components of the Metro -Dade County transit system. The Metrobus service frequency is reflected in peak hour and is based on 1994 bus routes, this is shown in Figure III-8.

In Figure I1I-8, the frequencies are measured by two categories, those with headways of 20 minutes or less and those with more than 20 minutes. In 1988 service frequencies were divided by 15-minute intervals .from less than 15 minute-headways to more than 30 minutes. The change in measurement was made in order to be consistent with the Level of Service (LOS) standard for roadways found in the Traffic Circulation Element As a result, it is difficult to specifically identify improvements made in the service frequency since 1988, however, general assumptions can be made. Assuming the 0 to 15-minute category of the original map generally correlates to the 20-minute or less frequency of the 1994 map, and all other routes indicated on the previous map generally correlate to the greater than 20-minute category, then it appears that the service frequency has been improved considerably west of the Palmetto Expressway and south of SW 200 Street. The Metrorail 1994 service frequency headway is 7.5 minutes during peak hour with a 15-minute headway for off-peak. The peak -hour headway appears to be a 1.5-rninute reduction in frequency from that which was reported in 1988. The off-peak frequency has apparently not changed. The Metromover service frequency headway is identified in Table I11-3. Table III-3 1994 Metromover Service Frequency Metromover Peak Hour Service Off -Peak Hour Loop Frequency Service Frequency Inner Loop 2 minutes 2 minutes Omni Loop 4 minutes 5 minutes Brickell Loop 4 minutes 5 minutes Source: Metro -Dade Transit Agency, 1995 The 1988 CDMP Support Component reflected a 2.5-minute service frequency headway for the Metromover, which constituted merely the Inner Loop, at that time (peak and off-peak status were not indicated). Therefore, according to Table III-3 the County has improved the Metromover service frequency by one-half a minute since 1988, and has expanded its service. Ridership. Table III-4 shows the total annual transit ridership of Metro -Dade County System by mode, since the fiscal year of 1986-1987. Overall, the system has had a 12 percent increase in boardings, since the adoption of the Mass Transit Element in 1988, while the population increased approximately 9.5% over the same period. .

Table III4 shows a total Metrobus ridership increase of 7.6 percent since the 1988 CDMF adoption. Metrorail has had the greatest success with a 37.7 increase. Analysis of Population Characteristics Public Transportation Disability Population. The figures shown in Table III-5 represents the existing and projected disability population using or expected to use public transportation. The 1988 projections for 1990 are also compared to the actual figures which were based on the 1990 Census. The new projections are the result of adjustments to the 1988 projections based on the percentage difference between the 1990 projections and actual figures. The 1990 Census showed that the actual 1990 disabled population within the 16-64 age group was 5 1 % more than the 1988 projection for that year. The actual 1990, 65+ age group reflects a 15 ° o increase from the 1988 projection. Household Vehicle Availability. Persons without an automobile must either depend on others for meeting their travel needs or use public transportation. Table III-6 indicates the number of vehicles available for use to households within Dade County. The table also compares the 1988 projections for 1990 to the actual figures which were based on the 1990 Census. Overall, the total number of vehicles per household in 1990 was approximately 14 % more than had been projected in 1988. 95- 8301 Table I11-5 Existing and Projected Public Transportation Disability Population Within Transit Service Area 1988-2010 1988 Actual 1995 2010 Age Projections 1990 New New for 1990 Projections Projections 16-64 22,011 33,344 34,670 40,127 65+ 40,878 47,128 4§,036 56,756 Source: Metro -Dade Planning Department, 1995.

As shown in the figure, all areas with a combined population and employment density of 10,000 or greater, are provided with mass transit routes with at least 60-minute headways. The population and employment data sets are based on 1993 estimates and have several assumptions mainly concerning the post -Hurricane Andrew affect. The assumptions regard population loss from and return to Dade County after the hurricane. Approximately 57,000 residents are estimated to have left Dade County. After research was conducted regarding the amount of military persons permanently transferred fi-om Homestead Air Force Base and initial rebuilding plans, it was also estimated that approximately 26,000 people will presumably return. Even though the 1993 estimates are based upon these two assumptions which are difficult to verify, they are the best possible data to date. I11-20 95- 830 Amendment History Since Date Of Adoption Subsection 9J-5,0053 (6) (a) 2.b., F.A.C, requires that the EAR provide a summary of each amendment to the text, goals, objectives and policies, and to the future conditions maps that have been adopted since the original adoption date of the plan. There have been two amendments to the Mass Transit Element since the date of adoption. These amendments are summarized below. April 1990 Amendment Cycle. During the April 1990 cycle, one application was filed by the County to amend the Mass Transit Element. Application 32 proposed amending the Future Mass Transit System 2000-2010 Rapid Transit Corridors map -..in order to incorporate the recommendations of the MPO's updated Metro -Dade Transportation Plan, Long Range Element to the Year 2010. Four rapid transit corridor extensions were proposed for inclusion on the map. One extended the corridor along Collins Avenue north to approximately NV 79 Street, another extended the NW 27 Avenue corridor to the County line, a small extension of the existing Metrorail to SR 826 and another small extension connected Miami International Airport to NW 27 Avenue. Adoption of this amendment application implemented Mass Transit Policy 7A. for the County to prepare proposals to revise the Mass Transit Element based on the technical findings and policy proposals of the updated Metro -Dade Transportation Plan. This amendment was included in the April, 1990 amendment cycle and was adopted on April 23, 1991 by Ordinance Number 91-48. The DCA reference number was 91-1, and the NOI Number was 91-1-NOI-1301-(A)-(1). May 1993 Amendment Cycle. One application was filed by the County to amend the Mass Transit Element. Application No. 13 proposed adding transit centers to the future mass transit map series of the element. The term "transit center" was defined in the application as being Metrobus terminals, Metrorail or rapid transit stations, and transit transfer facilities. The centers are locations where several routes or lines, or different modes converge. They are designed to handle the movement of transit vehicles and the boarding, alighting and transferring of passengers between transit routes, lines or transit modes. The application also proposed replacing the Metromover Alignment map from the future mass transit map series with an updated map showing the recently completed Omni and Brickell extensions as part of the existing Metromover system. The amendment was included in the May, 1994 amendment cycle and was adopted April 18, 1995. The DCA reference number is 95-1, and the NOI Number to date has yet to be assigned. Ongoing Planning Activities Proposed Plan to Comply with ADA-Required Complementary Transit Service, December 1991. This study addressed issues concerning Title II of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), more specifically, the required paratransit service component of ADA's Final Rule as issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation on September 6, 1991. 95- 830 ....N Dade County Transit Corridors Transitional Analysis Study of 1993. This study was conducted by the Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization to identify and evaluate transit alternatives in the six corridors identified in the Year 2010 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan. These corridors are: the South corridor, from Dadeland to Cutler Ridge; the Kendall corridor, from Dadeland to S.W. 137 Avenue; the West corridor, from downtown Miami to Florida International University to the HEFT; the Beach corridor, from downtown Miami to 71 Street on Miami Beach; the North corridor, from Dr. Martin Luther King Metrorail Station to N.W. 215 Street; and the Northeast corridor, from downtown Miami to N.E. 199 Street. Among the transit -related improvements recommended for fi+rther study is a combination of the West and the Beach corridors, now known as the East-West, and the North corridor. Dade County Park and glide Lot Plan, March 1993_ This study was conducted by the Florida Department of Transportation, District VI Public Transportation Office to identify and document existing and potential park and ride lot locations in Dade County. Golden Glades Multimodal Transportation Facility Feasibility Study, November 1993. This study prepared for the Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization provides alternative conceptual layouts of the proposed multimodal facility at the Golden Glades interchange in northern Dade County. Environmental Assessment, Miami Metromover, Herald Plaza Station, March 1994. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Metro -Dade Transit Department (MDTA) have prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Herald Plaza Metromover Station on the existing Miami Metromover system. This station was identified but not fully studied in the final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Miami Metromover extensions of 1988, for which reason an EA is required. East-West Multimodal Corridor Study. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting preliminary engineering studies for the East-West Multimodal Corridor and Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). Informally known as the "Connecting People" Study, it will be analyzing the potential development of a multimodal transportation corridor connecting the general areas of Florida International University (FIU), Miami International Airport (MIA), downtown, the Port of Miami and the Miami Beach Convention Center, as well as the development of a major multimodal transportation facility near MIA, called the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). Metrorail Extension and Multimodal Facility Study. This is an ongoing study being conducted by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in cooperation with the Metro -Dade Transit Agency (MDTA), that explores the options for the expansion of Metrorail service from its current line terminating at the Okeechobee Station in Hialeah to an area west of S.R_ 826/Palmetto Expressway. This extension is expected to have direct access to and from the Palmetto, thus improving Metrorail's ability to capture riders from the northwest area of the County. III-23 s 95- 830 North Corridor Alternative Analysis. This is an ongoing study being conducted by Metro -Dade County Transit Agency (MDTA), in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), with the purpose of analyzing transit improvements in Dade County's North Corridor. The analysis is being conducted in accordance with the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. Dade County Railroad Right -of -Way (ROW) Assessment Project. This project was conducted by the MPO for the purpose of identifying rail ROW segments, their potential future uses snd investigating methods for preservation. EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 6., F.A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in: 1) Section 187.02, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP); 2) the appropriate strategic regional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, Part 11, F.S. (Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria For Review of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP). These plans, in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February.1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above referenced statutory and rule changes, this element will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. Consistency with State Comprehensive Plan Section 187.201 (20), F.S. (Transportation) contains a goal and policies relevant to the Mass Transit Element. Since 1988 there have been no changes to this section of the State Comprehensive Plan that have impacted the mandated requirements of the Mass Transit Element. Therefore, tlus Element remains consistent Aith the State Comprehensive Plan. III-24 95-- 830 Consistency with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan of South Florida In February 1995 the South Florida Regional Planning Council released a proposed draft of the revised Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) for South Florida. This subsection of the EAR will identify regional goals and policies in the draft plan which are relevant to the Mass Transit Element, focusing on Element consistency with the identified SRPP goals and policies. These goals and policies are located in Section Id (Strategic Issues Goals and Policies), Subsection 5 (Transportation) of the SRPP. Economic Development Goals & Policies 4.1.10 Coordinate and develop a total integrated system whereby the people movers, Tri-Rail, trolleys and other transit -related travel play a more active role in the movement of people and facilitate the creation of new as well as the modernization of existing arteries to improve traffic flow within the Region. The Mass Transit Element is currently consistent with the intent of this policy. Objective 8 addresses the policy by calling for the encouragement of ease of transfer between mass transit and all other modes, where it improves the functioning of the transportation network. This policy will be retained in the proposed Transportation Element. 4.1.16 Provide public transit routes and schedules adequate to meet the needs of the commuting working poor, elderly, individuals with a disability, handicapped etc. The Mass Transit Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 5 requires the provision of equitable transportation services to all groups in the metropolitan population, including the special transportation needs of the elderly, handicapped, low income and other transit dependent persons. This objective will be retained in the proposed Transportation Element. Regional Transportation Goals and Policies Strategic Regional Goal 5.1 To achieve mutually supportive transportation planning and land use planning that promotes both mobility and accessibility; in order to foster economic development, preserve natural systems, improve air quality, increase access to affordable housing and promote safety. Regional Policies Multimodalism. Intermodalism and Land Use: 5.1.1 Develop Links between the different public transportation systems and expand transit systems to target regional and cross county travel needs. The Mass Transit Element is consistent vith this policy. Mass Transit Policy 6D. calls for the County to coordinate its mass transit plans and programs with those of adjacent counties to ensure regional mobility in major travel corridors. Objective 8 requires the encouragement of ease of transfer between mass transit and all other modes, where it improves the functioning of the transpiration network. These policies will be retained -in the proposed Transportation Element. 5.1.2 Use multimodal transportation corridors and public transit service to link major regional activity centers. The Land Use Element is consistent with this regional policy through the section of the Land Use Element entitled "Interpretation of the Land Use Plan Map". In that section, a recent amendment established a regional activity center in order to encourage higher intensities of development by increasing the threshold of the development size required to undergo State review as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI). However, the proposed Transportation Element will also have a policy encouraging the use of multimodal transportation corridors and public transit service to link major regional activity centers. 5.1.3 Concentrate high density land uses (such as compact residential, commercial and mixed use land use patterns) and develop infill parcel along multimodal transportation corridors, including transit service. The Land Use Element is consistent with this regional policy through the following policies: Policy 3A which requires that high intensity activity centers shall be facilitated by Metro -Dade County at locations having high countywide multimodal accessibility; Policy 3B states that Land in the vicinity of public mass transit stations shall be planned and developed in a manner that is compatible with, and supports the transit system; Policy 3C states that Metro -Dade County shall approve infill development on vacant sites in currently urbanized areas, and redevelopment of substandard or underdeveloped environmentally suitable urban areas contiguous to existing urban development where all necessary urban services and facilities are projected to have capacity to accommodate additional demand. Furthermore, the Mass Transit Element is also consistent with this regional policy. Objective 2 calls the provision of efficient transit service with the location and intensity of designated future land use patterns as identified on the Land Use Plan Map. 5.1.4 Encourage inter -modal connections to multimodal transportation corridors and develop high density land uses patterns around those inter -modal connections. III-26 95-F 830, The Mass Transit Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 8 requires the encouragement of ease of transfer between mass transit and all other modes, where it improves the functioning of the transportation network. Objective 2 also calls the provision of efficient transit service with the location and intensity of designated future land use patterns as identified on the Land Use Plan Map. In addition, the Land Use Element is consistent with this regional policy through Policy 3A which requires that high intensity activity centers shall be facilitated by Metro -Dade County at locations having high countywide multimodal accessibility. Policy 6D calls for coordination of transit plans with adjacent counties to ensure regional mobility. 5.1.5 Integrate affordable housing development with the regional transportation system and the public transit system.. The Mass Transit Element is partially consistent with this policy. Objective 5 requires the provision of equitable transportation services to all groups in the metropolitan population, including the special transportation needs of the elderly, handicapped, low income and other transit dependent persons. An additional policy addressing this issue should be included in the proposed CDMP Transportation Element. 5.1.6 Use transit oriented development to facilitate pedestrian movement, bicycle use, transit use and to decrease the use of the private automobile. Although Policy 6E of the Traffic Circulation Element calls for the support of high occupancy vehicles and bikeways, neither this Element nor the Mass Transit Element are explicitly consistent with this regional policy. The proposed Transportation Element will include an objective specifically addressing the use of transit oriented development to facilitate pedestrian movement, bicycle use, transit use and to decrease the use of the private automobile. 5.1.8 Encourage road and transit safety through the use of urban design, roadway design and the design and positioning of signage. The Traffic Circulation Element is consistent with this regional policy. Objective 3 requires the County's transportation system to emphasize safe and efficient management of traffic flow. Furthermore, Policy 3A specifically addresses roadway design. This objective and policy will be retained in the proposed Transportation Element and additional policies will be added to address transit safety, as well as urban design and signage for both roadway and transit. 5.1.9 Promote the expansion and use of the mass transit and commuter rail systems, and alternative transportation modes, as major components of the overall regional transportation system. The Mass Transit Element is consistent with this regional policy. III-27 95- 830 Economic 5.1.12 Improve inter -modal linkages among the various transportation systems in the region; including, such as multi -modal access to and connections between airports and seaports. The Mass Transit Element is consistent with this Regional policy. Objective 8 requires the encouragement of ease of transfer between mass transit and all other modes, where it improves the functioning of the transportation network. This objective will be retained in the proposed Transportation Element 5.1.13 Support the development of a statewide rail network to improve inter -regional, inter -modal linkages. The Mass Transit Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 6D states that Dade County shall coordinate its mass transit planning with those of adjacent counties to ensure regional mobility in the major travel corridors. The intent of this policy will be retained in the proposed Transportation Element, however, it will be reworded to include specific reference to the support of a statewide rail network to improve inter -regional, intermodal linkages. 5.1.17 Integrate regional commercial development (such as governmental institutions, stadiums and museums) with compatible high density land uses that are coordinated integrated with the overall regional transportation system and public transit system. The Land Use and Mass Transit Elements are consistent with this policy. 5.1.19 Improve regional air quality and reduce negative impacts to other natural resources by connecting development with multi -modal transportation systems. The Traffic Circulation Element is consistent with this Regional policy. Policy 6E requires the pursuit and support of transportation programs that will help to maintain or provide necessary improvement in air quality and which help conserve energy. Transportation Disadvantaged 5.1.21 Establish a coordinated system for the transportation disadvantaged in all counties of the Region and assure coordination of service delivery between the transportation disadvantaged and public transit system. The Mass Transit Element is consistent with this Regional policy. Objective 5 states that the provision of equitable transportation services shall be made for all groups in the metropolitan population, including the special transportation needs of the elderly, handicapped, low income and other transit -dependent persons. III-28 95- 830 Consistency With Chapter 163, Part 11, Florida Statutes (FS) The requirements of Section 163.3177 (7) (a), F.S., for the Mass Transit Element have not been amended since 1988. Therefore, the current adopted Mass Transit Element remains consistent with these provisions, In 1993 Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., was amended in several ways which impacts the Mass Transit Element. Identified below are the specific legislative changes. Section- 163.3164, F.S. was amended to add definitions for downtown revitalization; urban redevelopment; urban infill; projects that promote public transportation; and existing urban service area. These definitions were added to clarify terminology used in s.163.3180, F.S. regarding transportation concurrency exceptions. With the exception of downtown revitalization, these terms have been incorporated into the CDMP Capital Improvements Element description of the County's concurrency management program. Therefore the CDMP is consistent with these new definitions. Section 163.3177(6)0), F.S. was added to the statute in 1993 and requires local governments which have all or part of its jurisdiction within an urbanized area as defined by s. 139.175, F.S. to prepare and adopt a new Transportation Element in lieu of the requirements for a Traffic Circulation, Mass Transit, Port and Aviation Elements. The CDMP is not consistent with this new requirement and an EAR -based amendment to the CDMP is necessary to include the proposed Transportation Element. Section 163.3180, F.S. regarding concurrency requirements is a new section that was added to Chapter 163 in 1993. This new section defines which public services and facilities are subject to the concurrency requirements as well as to when the timing of concurrency is to be effective. Other significant provisions of s. 163.3180, F.S. permit exceptions from the concurrency requirements for transportation facilities if certain conditions are met. A complete description of the Section 163.3180, F.S. concurrency provisions is provided in the Traffic Circulation Element EAR under the subsection entitled "Consistency with Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes". As stated in the Traffic Circulation Element EAR, the County has already adopted CDMP amendments consistent with the provisions of Sections 163.3180 (1); (2) (a), (b), and (c), (5) (b), (c), (d); (6), (8) and (II), F.S. The Mass Transit Element is consistent with all provisions of Section 163.3180, F.S. Consistency with Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Since 1988, the requirements for Rule 9J-5.008, F.A.C. relating to the mass transit element have not been amended, therefore the adopted CDMP Mass Transit Element remains consistent with the Rule. However, there have been two other significant amendments to Chapter 9J-5, F.A..C. that have impacts on the Mass 'transit Element. III-29 _ 95- 830 The first change to Chaptcr 9J-5, F.A.C., added Rule 9J-5.0055, F.A.C., Concurrency Management System in 1989. This rule required local government to adopt as part of the comprehensive plan the establishment of a concurrency management system. The rule clarified the public facilities and services for which a local government must adopt levels of service, and established minimum requirements for concurrency. Rule 9J-5.055, F.A.C. was later amended in 1994 to include minimum criteria related to the concurrency provisions in Section 163.3180, F.S. As it relates to mass transit, the CDMP is consistent with the requirements of Rule 9J-5.0055, F.A.C. The second change added Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C., Transportation Element, requiring local governments whose jurisdiction is within an urbanized area of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (WO) to prepare and adopt a transportation element. For effected jurisdictions, the transportation element replaces the required plan elements of traffic circulation, mass transit, and port and aviation and related facilities. Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. provided minimum criteria for preparing the transportation element. In order to be consistent with the provisions of this rule, EAR -based CDMP amendments are required. Listed below are the additional data and analysis and goal, objective and policy requirements associated with the former mass transit element requirements which are not currently addressed in the CDMP. Subsection 9J-5.019 (2), existing transportation data requirements: -map showing intermodal terminals and access to intermodal facilities; -map showing freight and passenger rail lines and terminals; and -map identifying existing peak hour, peak direction level of service for mass transit facilities and corridors or routes. Subsection 9J-5.0.19 (3), transportation analysis requirements: -existing modal split and vehicle occupancy rates; -existing public transit facilities including ridership by route, peak hour capacities and headways; population characteristics, including transportation disadvantaged; and the existing characteristics of the major trip generators and attractors within the community; -an analysis of existing and projected intermodal and projected intermodal deficiencies and needs such as terminals, connections, high occupancy vehicle lanes, park and side lots and other facilities; -an analysis of the projected transportation system LOS and system needs based upon the fixture land use categories, including then destinations or intensities if use as shown on the future land use map or map series, and the projected integrated transportation system; and -an analysis which identifies land uses and transportation management programs necessary to promote and support public transportation systems in designated public transportation corridors. Subsection 9J-5.019 (4), transportation goals, objectives and policies: III-30 95- '830 -one or more goal statements which establish the long-term end toward which transportation programs and activities are ultimately directed. -one or more specific objectives for each goal statement which address the requirements of Subsection 163.3177 (6) 0), F.S., and which: I. Provide for a safe, convenient, and energy efficient multimodal transportation system; 2. Coordinate the transportation system with the future land use map or map series and ensure that existing and proposed population densities, housing and employment patterns, and land uses are consistent with the transportation modes and services proposed to serve these areas; 3. Coordinate the transportation system with the plans and programs of any applicable metropolitan planning organization, transportation authority, Florida Transportation PIan and Florida Department of Transportation Adopted Work Program; and 4. Address the provision of efficient public transit services based upon existing and proposed major trip generators and attractors, safe and convenient public transit terminals, land uses and accommodation of the special needs of the transportation disadvantaged; -one or more policies for each objective which address implementation activities for the: 1. Establishment of level of services standards at peak hour for roads and public transit facilities within the local government's jurisdiction as specified in Subparagraphs 9J-5.007 (3) (c) (1) and 9J-5.008 (3) (c) (1), FAC. For facilities on the Florida Intrastate Highway System as defined in s. 338.001 F.S., the local governments shall adopt the level of service standards established by the Department of Transportation by rule. For all other facilities on the future traffic circulation map, local governments shall adopt adequate level of service standards. These level of service standards shall be adopted to ensure that adequate facility capacity will be provided to serve the existing and future Iand uses as demonstrated by the supporting data and analysis in the comprehensive plan; 2. Establishment of land use and other strategies to promote the use of bicycles and walling; 3. Coordination of roadway and transit service improvements with the future needs of seaports, airports, and other related public transportation facilities; 4. Establishment of land use, site and building design guidelines for development in exclusive public transit corridors to assure the accessibility of new development to public transit; 5. Establishment of numerical indicators against which the achievement of the mobility goals of the community can be measured, such as modal split, annual transit trips per capita, automobile occupancy rates; 6. Establishment of strategies, agreements and other mechanisms with applicable local governments and regional and state agencies that demonstrate the areawide coordination necessary to implement the transportation, land use, parking and other provisions of the transportation element, III-31 x 95- 830 7. A coordinated and consistent policy with the future land use element to encourage land uses which promote public transportation in designated public transportation corridors; 8. Development of strategies to address intermodel terminals and access to aviation, rail and seaport facilities; and 9. Meet the requirements of subsections 9J-5.007 (3)(c), 9J-5.008 (3)(c) and 9J-5.009 (3) (c), FAC. Subsection 9J-5.019 (5), future transportation map series: -freight and passenger rail lines; -intermodal terminals and access to such facilities; and -projected peak hour levels of service for all transportation facilities for which level of service standards are established. The CDMP Mass Transit Element is currently not consistent with the above referenced rule provisions of the transportation element. The proposed CDMP Transportation Element will be included in an EAR -based amendment to the CDMP and will address all of the above requirements as well as updated information and data required for the other rule provisions related to mass transit. ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES This section of the EAR evaluates the progress in achieving all of the adopted CDMP Mass Transit Element objectives as of the date of this report. Objective achievement analysis may involve the use of baseline data that existed at the time of adoption and for current conditions that are described in previous sections of this EAR. The comparison of such data provides a useful benchmark for determining achievement of the objectives over the last six years. In other instances where objectives are more directory in nature, acknowledgment of implementation will be used to assess achievement. Each Mass Transit Element objective is listed below followed by a description of the monitoring measure associated with that objective. In many cases the monitoring measure listed for a specific objective was adopted as part of the element's monitoring program. Where a listed monitoring measure could not be used to adequately address a particular objective, an appropriate surrogate measure was developed and applied to evaluate objective achievement. In instances where neither a listed monitoring measure nor a surrogate measure could be used or adequately developed, then objective achievement was evaluated through a policy implementation assessment. Suggestions are included, where appropriate, for the need to revise objectives in order to make them more specific and measurable, or to revise the Element's monitoring program to provide logical measurable standards where the current measures are vague or inadequate. An analysis of policy relevancy is also discussed below. All policies under each element objective are reviewed III-32 95- 830 1 for continued relevance, but only those policies which may require some revision are identified and addressed. Objective 1 By the year 2000, the mass transit system shall operate at a level of service no lower than the standard contained herein. CDMP Monitoring Measure. The Mass Transit Element Monitoring Program indicated that the County will annually monitor transit system compliance with the adopted LOS standard through the use of Service Planning Guidelines developed by MDTA. The most recent estimates of population and work force prepared by the Planning Department will also be used. Objective 1 Achievement Analysis. Based on the most recent projected population and employment data set, it appears that the objective will be achieved, even with no expansions of the existing mass transit system network. Figure III-11, identifies all Traffic Analysis Districts (TADs) estimated to have 10,000 persons per square mile or greater, combined population and employment, in 1993. The LOS standard requires that such areas be provided with public transit service having 60 minute headways and an average route spacing of one mile (provided certain conditions exist). The figure also shows the existing 1993 transit routes that maintain the required headway. Assuming the existing transit routes are maintained by the year 2000, it can be expected that Objective I will be achieved. It is proposed that Objective 1 be revised to reflect a target date of 2005 to be consistent with new 10 and 20 year planning horizons. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such policies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they should be retained. Objective 2 Coordinate the provision of efficient transit service with the location and intensity of designated future land use patterns as identified on the Land Use Plan Map, and the goal, objectives and policies of the Land Use Element. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The monitoring measure identified for Objective 2 in the Mass Transit Monitoring Program is the same for Objective 1, that is, monitoring system compliance with the adopted LOS standard through the use of Service Planning Guidelines developed by MDTA and the most recent estimates of population and work force. Objective 2 Achievement Analysis. This objective has been achieved, since transit service has been coordinated with the locations and intensity of designated future land use patterns as I11-3 3 95- 830 identified on the Future Land Use Plan Map. Service area extensions are based upon projected population and employment growth which is derived from the land use categories of the map. Approximately 315 square miles, or 75 percent of the entire urbanized area of Dade County is covered b_v the mass transit service area. This service area includes 96 percent of the County's population, which represents a 13 percent increase from that which was reported at the time of the 198E CDMP adoption. Four new bus routes have been established, 29 route extensions and 2 realignments have taken place since 1988. These changes were made based upon the annually updated estimates of population and employment, which were derived from the locations and intensity of designated future land use patterns as identified on the Future Land Use map and provided by the Planning Department. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such policies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they should be retained. Objective 3 Provide a sound funding base utilizing public and private sources that will assure maintenance of existing service operations and timely implementation of the needed transportation improvement projects and services. CDMP Monitoring Measure. The Mass Transit Element Monitoring Program cites the implementation of policies/objectives for the future operations of transit in Dade County related to service levels, fare structures, ridership projections, financial needs and recommended funding sources. Objective 3 Achievement Analysis. This objective has been partially achieved. However, the monitoring called for in the above mentioned monitoring measure, has been carried out and is reflected yearly in the Transit Development Plan (TDP). This document reports that the majority of MDTA transit services have been funded through a series of grants from Federal, State and local sources, as well as by advertising, passenger fares, joint development, permits, leases and other miscellaneous revenues. However, it is difficult to describe the funding base as being sound when the majority of such funding is provided by the grant sources. Approximately 62.7 percent of the operating and maintenance expense for transit service is subsidized through assistance. As shown in Table III-7, this figure has decreased by five percent since fiscal the 1988-89 fiscal year. Dade County provides the largest share of:' assistance, for instance during the 1993-94 fiscal year, it totaled $94.6 million or 81 percent of the total assistance received annually. A portion of this funding is derived from a dedicated local option gas tax, however, the majority of it is accrued through the Dade County General Fund. A III-34 95- 830 principal component of the General Fund is property taxes, which has reached a cap for areawide services. This could lead to future fiscal problems as cost of living increases will continue to increase operational expenses. Furthermore, recent trends have indicated the federal government's increasing preference for assisting those transit capital projects with greater state and particularly local financial commitments, thereby, reducing the federal share of discretionary funding. These issues, plus the fact that this is a time when budget cuts are being proposed at all levels of government, underscore the need for more dedicated sources of funding. Table III-7 MDTA's Revenues and Subsidies As a Percent of Expenditures Since Fiscal Year 1988-89 Fis.

Several alternative sources have been evaluated. Primary alternative sources include a sales tax hike, creation of an independent transit authority with powers to levy specific transit taxes, and the shifting of the current ad valorem taxes to provide additional distribution to MDTA. Secondary sources being explored included a diverse range of proposals ranging from levies on motor fuels and motor vehicles, through special benefit assessments and transit impact fees, to joint development, and advertising and concessions proposals. According to the 1994 TDP a countywide retail sales tax of 1 percent would eliminate the need for General Fund operating assistance and provide capital funds sufficient for a significant expansion of Dade County's multimodal transit system, however, the voters rejected such a tax hike both in 1990 and 1991. Therefore, the County will have to rely upon the additional 1-cent gas tax for transportation related operating costs and a 5-cent gasoline tax earmarked for concurrency-related capital expenditures that it passed in January 1, 1994. In addition, joint development and special assessment districts are being successfiflly pursued in several areas. In a joint development proposal, a developer can contribute to construction costs in return for certain rights and the proximity to transit terminals with promising commercial potential. There is currently one special assessment district, referred to as the Omni/Brickell special benefit zone. This one zone has generated an estimated $24 million in construction financing, which has been applied toward the Metromover extension in this area. However, there are limitations in the use of special assessment districts. They are usually constrained to small areas for short -time periods, thus, generating only limited and finite revenues. The analysis indicates that while some progress has been made in achieving this objective, and the utilization of public and private sources have supported the provision of mass transit service, a clearly sound funding base has not been achieved. The most significant obstacle to providing a III-3 5 95- 830 such a base, has been the heavy reliance upon non -dedicated sources of subsidization. The most immediate concern being the potential increases in operational expenses. Future cost of living increases for operations, will have to be subsidized through an alternative source, since the property tax cap has been reached. In the proposed Transportation Element the intent of this objective will be retained. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such policies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. The additional policies suggested above will be added to these in the proposed Transportation Element. Objective 4 Provide convenient, accessible and affordable mass transit services and facilities. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The monitoring measure cited for Objective 4 is the annual update and identification of the number and location of transit facilities and type of transit services which provide access to traffic generators such as major centers of employment, commercial, medical, educational, governmental and recreational activity. The specific data required for this monitoring measure was not collected therefore objective achievement will be analyzed through policy implementation. Objective 4 Achievement through Policy Implementation Analysis. Policies 4A through 4C call for the provision of convenient and affordable mass transit service to activity, employment and institutional centers with the assistance of both the private sector and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). These policies have been met. Since 1988, these policies have been sufficiently implemented. All of these types of centers were served by the mass transit system in 1988. However, service to many of them has improved considerably since 1988. As stated in the Objective 2 analysis, there were four new routes established since 1988. They were as follows: - the Biscayne Blvd. Max, providing bus service between Flagler St. and NW 199 St.; - the NW 27 Ave. Max, providing bus service between NW 62 St. and NW 211 St.; - the Flagler Max, providing bus service between the Miami Beach Convention Center and SW 137 Ave.; and - Route 104, providing bus service between the Dadeland North Metrorail station to SW 88 St. III-36 95-- �30 Regarding private sector funding support, as mentioned previously, the Omni/Brickell special benefit zone has generated an estimated $24 million in construction financing, which has been applied toward the Metromover extension in this area. Furthermore, the joint development districts which have also been previously mentioned, are being successfully pursued in several areas. There are currently four such proposals in various stages of implementation. They are as follows: - First Street Metromover Station - A request for proposals has been advertised for a lease agreement on the land; - Mount Sinai Hospital Terminal - Project has been approved by the Board of County Commissioners and therefore it is pending; - Dadeland North Metrorail Station - A lease has been signed and the first phase of the project should be completed by 1996; and - Herald Plaza Metromover Station - The project is in the design stages and construction will begin during the 1995-96 fiscal year. Finally, concerning assistance from FDOT, since 1988 MDTA has received funding from the following grant programs: - Public Transit Block Grant Program - used for operational and capital costs; - Public Transit Service Development Program - used for marketing costs; - Park and Ride Lot Program - used for planning, acquisition, design and construction of park and ride lots; and - Transit Corridor Program - provided funding for transit enhancement such as the Kendal Area Transit Project (limited express or "Max " routes). Regarding specific projects, FDOT purchased the abandoned Florida East Coast Railroad (FEC) right-of-way for the South Dade Busway High Occupancy Vehicle Lane. This exclusive bus lane will provide a service between the Metrorail Dadeland South Station and SW 112 Avenue in the Cutler Ridge area. The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 1996 and will cost approximately $14,943,176 for construction. In addition, the Golden Glades interchange was completed, which provided an HOV lane flyover on I-95, costing approximately $27 million. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such policies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. Objective 5 Provide equitable transportation services to all groups in the metropolitan population, including the special transportation needs of the elderly, handicapped, low income and other transit dependent persons. III-3 7 F 95- 830 CDMP Monitoring Measures. The Mass Transit Element Monitoring Program consists of compiling the necessary compliance data applicable to reporting requirements of Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) Title VI Civil Rights, UMTA Sec. 504 regulations, and Chapter 427, F. S. Objective 5 Achievement Analysis. To the greatest extent possible, this objective has been achieved and the monitoring measure has been carried out. In fact, since 1988, recent legislation has required more detailed data collection than that mentioned in the monitoring measure. MDTA has provided the necessary information ;n the Annual Update of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 Complementary Paratransit Plan. This document includes a progress report on compliance with six paratransit service criteria. It also provides a five-year demand forecast estimate for paratransit needs; budget cost and vehicle estimates; and public participation documentation. The plan has been found to be in compliance during every one of the three ADA implementation years. The paratransit service augments the primary mass transit service, which also provides equitable transportation services to all groups in the metropolitan population, including the special transportation needs of the elderly, handicapped, low income and other transit dependent persons. The expansions of the Metrobus and Metromover service area mentioned in the Condition at the Date of Report section, identify how there has been substantial improvements made since 1988, providing equitable transportation service for the elderly, low income and other transit dependent persons. Furthermore, MDTA, in cooperation with the Public Works Department, has also addressed special needs of persons with disabilities through three different projects, to encourage their ridership on the primary mass transit system. First, an inspection of those bus routes which are located along County -maintained roadways and which have been designated as being wheelchair accessible, has been completed to identify necessary improvements to wheelchair ramps and/or landing pads. Second, since July of 1993, the Public Works Department has conducted an inspection of all Countywide arterial roadways, to identify broken sidewalks, sidewalk obstructions and non -complying or non -existing ramps. The inspection, to date, is 90 percent complete. Third, the Public Works Department has also provided a public "hotline", whereupon complaints regarding the three types of problems mentioned above, can be reported and corrected within three to four months. Overall, approximately $395,000 has been spent on these projects since 1991, and another $3,071,285 is pending on various contracts and work order projects to provide ADA-required accessibility to transit related facilities. Overall a great deal of progress has been made in achieving this objective and it should be retained. It is proposed that the term "handicapped" be replaced with the words "people with disabilities". Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such policies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. Policy 5A. III-3 8 ...............wv�r—rearW�vvwrvuti..w.Y.vv.. w•w n.. ..:.. .. 1... , should be modified to replace reference to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration to Federal Transit Admhstration (FTA). Policy 5B should be updated to delete reference to UMTA Section 504 regulations and replace it with compliance with the 1990 ADA requirements. Objective 6 Continue to coordinate Dade County's Mass Transit Element, and the plans and programs of the State, region and local jurisdictions. CDMP Monitoring Measures. This monitoring measure calls for review and comment, as necessary, on various transit -related plans and programs of the FDOT, MPO, and where appropriate, adjacent counties; and monitor annually, the status of improvements programmed for implementation in the TIP and CIE and improvements identified in the Mass Transit Element for 1994, 2000, and 2010. Objective 6 Achievement Analysis. This objective has been achieved through the required review processes, All Federal and State -funded transportation projects are reviewed by MDTA during planning and development stages through the State Clearinghouse Advance Notification process. The Development of Regional Impact (DRI) review, allows MDTA to review and comment on developments that have regional impact. Such a review provides the opportunity to comment on proposed large-scale developments within adjacent counties, as well as those proposed within Dade County. The Development Impact Committee (DIC) review provides MDTA the opportunity to review and comment on large scale development applications. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such policies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. Objective 7 Initiate, by 1990, protection strategies for mass transit rights -of -way and exclusive transit corridors. CDMP Monitoring Measures. MDTA and the Planning Department will investigate and report on strategies for preserving planned mass transit rights -of -way and exclusive corridors by 1990. Objective 7 Achievement Analysis. Little progress was made toward achieving this objective. In August 1993, the Railroad Rights -of -Way Assessment was prepared for the MPO. In the assessment, rail rights -of -way (R.O.W.) were identified, and their potential future uses were explored but no protection strategies were examined. Recent State Supreme Court case decisions are making it more difficult for local jurisdictions to protect any type of transportation corridor. Therefore under current conditions, it appears that protection strategies should concentrate on a shared multimodal right-of-way approach. This would apply not only to those rail corridors cited III-39 95- 830 in the above mentioned report, but also to roadway right-of-way that is currently being protected through the enforcement of minimum right-of-way requirements established in Chapter 33 of the Code of Metropolitan Dade County and the Public Works Manual. The year 1990 in this objective should be revised to 1997. This objective is still relevant and should be retained. Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Listed and discussed below are only the policies which may require some change. The policies not listed here under are directive in nature and continue to have relevance and should be retained. Policy 7A. This policy states that within one year after the findings of the MPO Long Range Transportation Plan 2010 Update are completed, Dade County shall prepare amendment proposals to enhance and revise the Mass Transit Element as warranted by said findings consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the CDMP. This policy was implemented when the necessary Mass Transit Element amendments were adopted as part of April 1990 CDMP Amendment Cycle as discussed in the amendment history section of this report. This policy will still continue to have relevance and should be revised to reference the MVO Long Range Transportation Plan 2015 Update now underway. The proposed Transportation Element will include such a change in this policy. Policy 7B. This policy states that Dade County shall investigate and adopt strategies for preservation of planned mass transit rights -of -way and exclusive corridors, including consideration of railroad and utility rights -of -way may be appropriate or cost effective in the construction of rapid transit lines or high -occupancy vehicles (HOV) lanes. This policy should be retained as required by Subsection 9J-5.019 (4) (c) 4., F.A.C. Objective 8 Encourage ease of transfer between mass transit and all other modes, where it improves the functioning of the transportation network. CIDMP Monitoring Measures. The adopted monitoring measures calls for MDTA to provide a Certification Statement annually listing improvements made during the previous year to the park and ride lots and garages; bicycle lockers and racks; pedestrian walkways; taxi and jitney stands; that are incorporated as part of transit facilitates. In reviewing lvghway improvements projects, comment on the provision of bus turnout, bus shelters, HOV lanes, and other associated facilities to accommodate mass transit. The monitoring measure data was not collected and reported. Even though the measure is still relevant and should be retained, objective achievement will be measured through policy analysis. Objective 8 Achievement Through Policy Implementation Analysis. Policy 8A states that Mass transit facilities shall incorporate provisions to enhance ease of transfer with other modes III-40 95- -830 .... •..+.-. .. ......_........._..:,...a...-u.r•.:«.x,....rw.uuua.r.wwww_.. ... .. ...._. t (e.g., park -ride garages and lots, bicycle lockers and racks, pedestrian walkways, taxi and jitney stands). This policy has been achieved to some degree through the doubling the number of active park and tide facilities provided for Metrobus users as shown in Table III-8. Such facilities enhance the ease of transfer between the automobile, Metrobus and/or Metrorail usage. Table III-8 Active Metrobus Park and Ride Facilities in 1989 and 1994 Facilities Existing # Of Spaces Facilities Existing 1988 1988 1994 Golden Glades 1,350 Golden Glades Hammocks Town Center 156 Hammocks Town Center West Lakes Plaza 241 West Lakes Plaza MDCC 25 MDCC -- -- SW 72 St1SW88 Ave -- -- SW 152 St./HEFT -- -- Sunset Strip/132 Ave -- -- Kendall Hammocks Total 1,772 Total Source: 1988 CDMP Mass Transit Element, 1994 TDP # Of Spaces 1994 1,350 100 50 25 77 115 25 25 2,014 Policy 8B. Highway improvements shall be designed to include provisions for the location of bus turnout bays, bus shelters, HOV lanes, and other associated facilities to accommodate mass transit services. This policy has been achieved through the State Clearinghouse Advance Notification process for MOT projects. In this type of review, MDTA provides input on the installation of appropriate transit features during the design stages of state highway improvements. Furthermore, two major projects regarding high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes have been initiated since 1988. As mentioned previously, MOT has purchased the abandoned Florida East Coast Railroad (FED') right-of-way for the South Dade Busway HOV Lane. This exclusive bus lane will provide a service between the Metrorail Dadeland South Station and SW 112 Avenue in South Dade. The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 1996 and will cost approximately $14,943,176 for construction. In addition, the Golden Glades interchange was completed, which provided an HOV lane flyover on I-95, costing approximately $27 million. III-41 95- 830 Policy Relevance All the policies under this objective were reviewed for continued relevance. Since all such policies are directive in nature and continue to have relevance, they will be retained. NEW ISSUES AND UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES _ Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 5., F.A.C. requires the EAR to identify, describe and evaluate how new issues, problems and opportunities have affected the plan elements since adoption. Described below are all issues, problems, and opportunities that have impacted the Element since 1988, including, where relevant, data and analysis. In some instances, data and analysis pertinent to new issues, problems or opportunities may be referenced from other sections of this element evaluation. Needed actions or proposals addressing issues, and problems or opportunities are identified. New Issue - Dedicated Transit Funding Source The single most significant issue facing the provision of transit service in Dade County continues to be the lack of a dedicated funding source. It is more appropriate to characterize this issue as a continuing one, rather than a new one. The Mass Transit Element Support Component in 1988 recognized the need for long term financial solutions in order to implement the kind of mass transit system envisioned in the 2010 Metro -Dade Transportation Plan and the adopted CDMP Mass Transit Element. The Mass Transit Element identified in 1988 the priority for developing a dedicated source of local revenues to support present and future operations of the system. As the Objective 3 Achievement Analysis reported, approximately 63 percent of the operating and maintenance expense for transit service is subsidized through assistance totaling some $94 million. The majority of this subsidy is derived from the County's general fund. A principal component of the general fund is property taxes, which has reached a cap for area Aide county services. Attempts to implement this policy on two different occasions, once in 1990 and in 1991, through implementation of a one cent sales tax to be dedicated for transportation was turned down by voters. Despite some gains in financial resources, through increases of local gas taxes, such gains have been offset by having to redirect funding from the general fund to other services. Although there is no clear solution this issue, the CDMP will continue to place a high priority on identifying potential dedicated sources of funding for transit. -1, MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, LOCATION OF LAND USES, AND THE SOCIAL. AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED This section of the EAR examines major problems in the County related to development, physical deterioration, and the location of land uses and their social and economic effects, as required by Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4., F.A.C. The Rule identifies fifteen specific items (Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4.a.-o., F.A.C.) to be addressed as part of the evaluation of each element. Not all of the items listed, however, are relevant to individual plan elements. Therefore, only those items which would affect a particular element are addressed. With respect to the Mass Transit Element, four of the fifteen items are relevant. These items are listed as follows: c. The Effect of Concurrency The concurrency management requirements related to the mass transit LOS standard have not been a problem since 1989. d. The Maintenance and/or Achievement of Adequate Level of Service Standards There has been no major problem in monitoring or achieving the adopted minimum transit LOS standard. h. Physical Deterioration of Public Buildings, Utilities, Infrastructure, Recreation Facilities, and Parks, and the Need for Replacement or Rehabilitation Since 1999 the County has and continues to maintain, rehabilitate and replace its fleet of Metrobuses. A major Metrobus fleet replacement program began in 1987, primarily targeting the 1980 GMC coaches. The current schedule for replacement calls for 171 bus retirements by 1999. Over this same time period maintenance facility improvements and various efficiency, service, and convenience improvements such as intermodal transfer facilities, and passenger shelters have been programmed and completed. o. The Social and Economic Effects of the Major Problems Previously Identified by Providing a Description of the Efforts No major problems have been identified. CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS This section of the element evaluation presents a summary of general conclusions and identifies needed actions and/or proposed plan amendments to address or implement identified changes as discussed in other sections of this report. Proposed revisions may include the identification of new and revised goals, objectives and policies, revised future condition maps, capital improvement schedules and monitoring and evaluation procedures. While actual proposed amendment language is not included, the general nature or types of changes are clearly described. All proposed revisions presented here have been carefully linked to the evaluation of current conditions within the County, objective achievement, issues, problems and opportunities and other sections of this element report. The required schedule for transmittal and adoption of evaluation and appraisal report - based amendments in Subsection 9J-5.0053 (3) b. and (6) (a) 8.b., F.A.C. is described in the introduction to the Land Use Element Evaluation and Appraisal Report. Conclusions One major conclusion resulting from the evaluation of the Mass Transit Element's goal, objectives and policies is that Metro -Dade County has maintained the Level of Service (LOS) standard that was targeted for achievement in the year 2000. Second, the County has yet to implement a dedicated source of funding for the transit system. The inability to have such a funding source may greatly inhibit the ability of the County to achieve the system of rapid transit corridors and Metrobus service coverage envisioned in the CDMP and MPO transportation plan. Also, as indicated in an earlier section of this report, Section 163.3177 (6) 0), F.S. requires that Dade County prepare a new transportation element in lieu of the requirements for separate traffic circulation, mass transit and port and aviation elements. In addition, Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C. establishes the minimum requirements for preparing the transportation element. While the transportation element incorporates many of the previous data, analysis, policy, and mapping requirements of the former mass transit element, there are several new provisions that must be addressed. Most of these new transit related requirements are outlined in the subsection of this report entitled "Consistency with Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C." EAR -based plan amendments will be prepared to ensure all of the new transit related requirements are included in a proposed transportation element. A key component to the preparation of the transportation element will be the update of the analysis of future transit needs based on the technical findings and update of the MPO's Metro -Dade Transportation Plan for the Year 2015. The plan will specify highway and transit improvements for the 1995-2015 period. This will coincide with the 10 and 20 year planning horizon proposed for the updated CDMP. The current analysis of future transit needs is based on the adopted 2010 Transportation Plan prepared in 1990 and is not consistent with new growth projections. The 2015 Transportation Plan update is based on revised projections of social and III-44 95- 830 economic variables, including revised population projections and land use assumptions, and new estimates of future travel demand. A 2015 Needs Plan will be developed and contain all transportation projects and assign priorities to recommended projects. In addition, a Cost Feasible Plan will also be developed based on the Needs Plan with adjustments for the estimated levels of public and private financing available, It is anticipated that the 2015 Transportation Plan Update will be completed in July -September 1995. Based on the results of the recommended first five priority of transit improvements, the need to revise CDMP Capital Improvements Element will be evaluated and amendments will be proposed as necessary. Listed below is a summary of proposed changes to this section and the monitoring measure section, found to be necessary as a result of thq EAR process. Proposed Revisions to the Mass Transit Objectives and Policies Objective 1. The target date in Objective I should be changed from "2000" to "2005". Objective 3. This objective requires the provision of a sound funding base for the maintenance of existing operations and for future necessary improvements. All policies under this objective are still relevant. Policy 3A. This policy should be retained but modified to consider specific alternative sources of funding such as: sales tax, the creation of an independent transit authority with powers to levy specific transit taxes; levies on motor fuels, motor vehicles, and parking facilities through special benefit assessments and transit impact fees; additional joint development projects; and advertising and concessions proposals. Objective 5. This objective requires the provision of equitable transportation to all groups in the metropolitan population. The term "handicapped" should be replaced with the words "persons with disabilities" and include an addition regarding compliance with the ADA of 1990 requirements. Policy 5A. Replace the name of the Urban mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Policy 5B. Replace the reference to UMTA Section 504 regulations with compliance of 1990 ADA requirements.

FOLLOWS PAGE 8 METRO -BADE PORT AND AVIATION ELEMENT .....................FOLLOWS PLAN OBJECTIVES TABLE FORT AND AVIATION ELEMENT AVIATION FACILITIES SUBELEVIENT Introduction Metropolitan Dade County, under its charter, is the only local government with authority to provide or regulate transportation within the county. Moreover, Dade County is the owner and operator of both the Port of Miami, and the airports within the county. The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (MCNP), in satisfaction of State of Florida requirements, includes a Ports and Aviation Element, although the City of Miami possesses no power, authority, or responsibility for owning, operating, or regulating any port or general aviation facility. The City may, with County concurrence, own and/or operate a special -use or alternative aviation facility such as a heliport or a seaplane base. Material in this evaluation and appraisal report on the Ports and Aviation Element, is drawn from Metro -Dade County's EAR report, except for the Evaluation of Plan Objectives for the Port of Miami River within the City of Miami (following page 7) which are from the adopted MCNP. Existing Conditions and Trends In 1995 the Dade County aviation system consists of the same six major aviation facilities owned and operated by Dade County in 1988 and the recently realigned Homestead Air Force Base. Specifically, these facilities are: Miami International Airport (MIA) Opa-Locka West Airport Opa-Locka Airport Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport (formerly Tamiami Airport) Homestead General Aviation Airport Dade -Collier Training and Transition Airport Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB) Activity Forecasting. Since 1970, domestic passenger traffic at MIA has more than doubled (from 7.3 million to 15.8 million) while international passenger traffic has nearly tripled (3.4 million to 10.0 million). Passengers and cargo forecast at MIA were updated based on 95- 830 8/22/95 Nee 2 methodologies that emphasized its international role, while maintaining a reasonable but moderate domestic activity growth. Table I below summarizes the forecast levels of air carrier and cargo activity for MIA. Table 1 Air Carrier and Cargo Activity Forecast at MIA - 1995 Total 33,000,000 40,000,000 55,000,000 Passengers " Low Forecast 1997 2004 2021 Preferred Forecast 1995 2000 2010 High Forecast 1994 1998 2006 _ Cargo (tons) 1.000,000 1,854,000 2,483,000 Total Operations 526,200 579,100 677,800 Source: Miami International Airport Master Plan Update, June 1994. Draft Dade County Aviation System Plan Update, 1995. On the other hand, general aviation is expected to recover from losses caused by Hurricane Andrew and grow, but at a very slow rate. Even under the most optimistic of assumptions, a growth rate of one percent per year would likely represent an upper limit as shown in Table 2. Table 2 General Aviation Activity Forecast Annual Aircraft Operations Planning Activity Level Most Optimistic Most Likely (Year Attained) (Rear Attained) 750,000 1995 1997 875,000 2011 2028 1,000,000 2024 >2030 Source: Draft Dade County Aviation System Plan Update, 1995. Capacity and Facility Requirements. At the given growth rates, there is no doubt that MIA will have to be complemented in the long run. Having exhausted the means to develop a supplemental air carrier facility to MIA, the realignment of the Homestead Air Force Base as a dual use (civilian/military) aviation facility brings to the County's Aviation Department an opportunity to supplement operations at Miami International Airport and at the County's general aviation facilities at a future date. Consideration is also being given, through the ongoing system planning process, to a potential role change for the Opa-Locka Airport in order to accommodate some limited commercial service as an MIA reliever. 8/22/95 Pam 3 Achievement of Objectives The County did well in accomplishing the following objectives of the Aviation Facilities Subelement during the 1989-1994 evaluation period: 1. to accommodate forecast demand at its aviation facilities; 2. to maintain and enhance the role of the County's aviation facilities; 3. to complete airside and landside improvements leading to minimization of aircraft delays at the County's aviation facilities. 4. to implement land use, zoning and permitting evaluation processes leading to a minimization of airspace interactions and obstruction around its aviation facilities; 5. to operate at or higher than 80 percent of operational capacity prior to major capital improvements; 6. to balance airfield/terminal capacity and transportation access at its aviation facilities; 7. to comply with programs, regulations and permits aimed at improving the compatibility of all its aviation facilities with the natural environment; 8. to implement programs to maximize land use compatibility around its aviation facilities. 9. to support local and regional economic growth; and 10. to provide flexibility in the expansion of the aviation system. Current Issues Among the key current issues discussed in the Aviation Facilities Subelement EAR are the following: 1. Proposed change in the functional classification/role of the Opa-Locka Airport from general aviation reliever to potential commercial air service reliever to Miami International Airport. 2. The report discusses alternative regulations to land use compatibility around air carrier and general aviation airports. 3. The report discusses Hurricane Andrew and its impact on Dade County's aviation facilities as well as on the Homestead Air Force Base. 4. Inadequately sized facilities and obsolescence at the Watson Island seaplane base and heliport as a regional hub facility for alternative air transportation systems. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Aviation Facilities Subelement EAR are the following: 8/22/95 95- 830 Paee 4 r-. 1. Prepare and adopt a single transportation element meeting the requirements of section 163.3177(6)Q), F.S., and Rule 9.1-5.019, F.A.C., and merge all relevant Aviation Facilities Subelement objective and policies, except for deletions noted below and in the report. 2. All but one of the adopted objectives are still relevant and should be retained with minor or no text changes or updates. 3. Deletion of Objective 3 and its policies is proposed in lieu of an updated Objective. 1 that incorporates the minimization of delays issue. 4. Update policies relating to (a) MIA's enplanement forecast levels; (b) general aviation facilities' operation levels; (c) capacity enhancement consistency issue; (d) air carrier facilities; (e) general aviation facilities; (f) Homestead Air Reserve Base's future facility development plan; (g) prioritization of roadway capacity eirliancenients; (h) transit linkages; (i) roadway access consistency; j) significant environmental impacts; (k) land use compatibility; and (1) maximization of economic development in the vicinity of the County's aviation facilities. 5. Delete policies dealing with (a) air carrier and general aviation operational delays; (b) delineation, designation and establishment of areas suitable for tall communication towers; and (c) compatibility of supplemental facility. 6. Add policies under Objectives 5 and 8 to deal with emergency situations, such as Hurricane Andrews, and to acknowledge the Dade County Aviation Department's "good neighbor" initiative, respectively. 7. Renovate and expand air transportation systems at Watson Island to create a regional hub heliport base and an expanded seaplane terminal. PORT OF MIAMI RIVER SUBELEMENT Existing Conditions and Trends The Port of Miami River consists of about 28 independent shipping terminals located along the navigable 5.5 miles of the Miami River in Dade County. These shipping terminals provide service to approximately 60 small ports of the Caribbean Basin and Latin America. These terminals continue to be utilized for seafood, general cargo container, roll-on/off cargo, and sand and aggregate activities. Shipping terminals on the River account for about 1800 vessel departures per year and an estimated volume of 1.7 million tons of cargo, with an estimated value of $2.3 billion. The Port of Miami River is expected to continue to retain its share of growing 8/22/95 Page 5 international trade activity occurring in Dade County. However, this will not come easy as it was in the 1980's. The Port of Miami River is starting to face certain constraints in regard to expansion of commercial shipping as noted in the Current Issues section below. Achievement of Objectives The County did well in accomplishing the following objectives of the Port of Miami River Subelement during the 1989-1994 evaluation period: 1. to protect cargo terminal facilities along its portion of the Miami River from any encroachment of incompatible land uses. 2. to promote marine activity on the river and improved transportation linkages between the Port terminals and the County's highway system. The County made progress in accomplishing the following objective: 3. to partially take steps toward the minimization of negative impacts to estuarine water quality, marine resources and adjacent land uses. Solution of the proposed river dredging and the removal of detrimental stormwater outfall issues will greatly contribute to the achievement of this Objective. The City of Miami also did well in achieving the adopted objectives for that part of the Port of Miami River within the city, and for the two objectives assuring coordination of the City's land use adjacent to the Pot of Miami and Miami International Airport. Current Issues Among the key current issues discussed in the Port of Miami River Subelement EAR are the following: 1. The Proposed Manatee Protection Plan: The potential impact of this proposed Plan on the Port of Miami River activities has emerged as a major significant issue. As perceived by the shipping community some of the proposed requirements and mandates may adversely impact the future of shipping terminals along the Miami River. 2. Proposed Miami Intermodal Center (MIC): The proximity of the proposed Miami Intermodal Center to the Port of Miami River facilities along NW South River Drive, west of NW 27th Avenue, has also emerged as a significant issue. Thus far, this proposal is generating considerable land speculation in the area; thus threatening the likeliness of port support facilities to locate or retrain in this area, and therefore, the viability of the River as a "working" river. 3. Proposed Dredging of the Miami River: The proposed dredging of the navigable portion of the River channel and the potential impact of this proposed activity on the quality of the River's water as well as the degree of contamination of the river's bottom sediments have emerged as competing interest which along with the lack of funding stand in the way of this project. 4. 1992's Hurricane Andrew and 1994's Haitian Embargo: These unanticipated and unforeseen problems revealed the high degree of susceptibility that river businesses have to natural events and human actions of this magnitude. Recommendations The key recommendations of the Port of Miami River Subelement EAR are the following: 1. Prepare and adopt a single transportation element meeting the requirements of Section 163.3177(7)0), F.S., and Rule 9J-5.019, F.A.C., and merge all relevant Port of Miami River Subelement objective and policies, except for deletions noted below and in the report. 2. In general, all adopted objectives are still relevant and should be retained with either minor or no text changes or updates. 3. Update policies relating to (a) the establishment of a marine -industrial zoning district; (b) the former Department of Environmental Regulations; (c) highway planning, funding and construction around Port facilities; (d) minimization of traffic conflicts; (e) shoreline stabilization along the river; and (f) County's drainage alternative to full on -site retention. 4. Delete policies dealing with (a) a comprehensive study of the future of water dependent/related uses on the river and (b) endangered species signage. 5. Ensure consistency of the MCNP and the Dade County CDMP on Port of Miami River policies within the City of Miami.

This element evaluation has been prepared in substantial keeping with the EAR minimum criteria prescribed by Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6), F.A.C. In order to ensure that all EAR content requirements have been sufficiently addressed, the CDMP Aviation Subelement is organized into the following sections: Condition of Element at Date of Adoption; Condition of Element at Date of Report; Effect of Statutory and Rule Changes Since 1988; Achievement of Objectives; New Issues and Unanticipated and Unforeseen Problems and Opportunities; Major Problems of Development, Physical Deterioration, Location of Land Uses, and the Social and Economic Effects of the Major Problems Identified, and; Conclusions and Proposed Revisions. The purpose of each Section is described in its opening paragraph. CONDITION OF SUBELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION The purpose of this section of the EAR, as identified in Subsection 9J-5.0053(6) (a) 1., F.A.C., is to provide a summary of data and analysis describing baseline conditions of the Aviation Facilities Subelement of the Port and Aviation Element of the CDMP at time of its adoption in 1988. The conditions inventoried and analyzed in this element were based on the most recent available data at that time. This summary will address the pertinent Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., data and analysis requirements for the Port and Aviation Element. In 1988 the Dade County Aviation System consisted of six major aviation facilities owned and operated by Dade County and one U.S. Air Force Base (See Figure IV-1). A brief description of each facility including site, airfield conditions, physical layout and land uses follows: Miami International Airport (MIA). This 3,232-acre facility located approximately 9 miles west of downtown Miami, was the major air carrier facility for the region. Airfield conditions are summarized in Table IV-1 and its physical layout -- including clear zones, runways, access IV-1 roadways and rail lines -- is depicted in Figure IV-2. Land uses around this facility were predominantly industrial, office and commercial with some residential uses buffered by commercial, park or recreation uses. Opa-I.ocka West Airport, This 420-acre utility airport located 18 miles northwest of downtown Miami, was primarily used for training purposes. Airfield conditions are summarized in Table IV-1 and its physical layout -- including clear zones, runways, and access roadways -- is depicted in Figure IV-3. Primarily due to its remoteness, land uses around this facility were predominantly open land with limited rock mining and agricultural activities. Opa-Locka Airport. This 1,810-acre transport airport located 12 miles north of central Miami, was primarily used for general aviation and aircraft maintenance purposes and some U.S. Coast Guard operations. Airfield conditions are summarized in Table IV-1 and its physical layout -- including clear zones, runways, access roadways and rail lines -- is depicted in Figure IV-4. Land uses around this facility were predominantly industrial with some pockets of institutional, commercial, park, and residential. Tamiami Airport. This 1,380-acre transport airport. located 15 miles southwest of downtown Miami, was primarily used for general aviation purposes. Airfield conditions are summarized in Table IV-1 and its physical layout -- including clear zones, runways, and access roadways -- is depicted in Figure IV-5. Most of the land around this facility was undeveloped at the time of adoption with some emerging industrial and business development as well as buffered residential. Land use and zoning patterns around this facility provided for use compatibility. Homestead General Aviation Airport. This 960-acre transport airport located 28 miles southwest of downtown Miami, was primarily used for general aviation and training purposes. Airfield conditions are summarized in Table IV-1 and its physical layout -- including clear zones, runways, and access roadways -- is depicted in Figure IV-6. The predominant land uses around this facility was agriculture. Dade -Collier 'Training and Transition Airport. This 24,560-acre transport airport located 45 miles southwest of downtown Miami, was primarily used for training purposes. Airfield conditions are summarized in Table IV-1 and its physical layout -- including clear zones, runways, and access roadways -- is depicted in Figure IV-7. The predominant land uses around this facility were environmentally protected land and parks. Homestead Air Force Base (HAFB). This 3,345-acre Air Force Base located 21 miles southwest of downtown Miami, was home of the Tactical Air Commands 31 st Tactical Fighter Wing. In this capacity, the Base operated in dual tactical fighter and combat crew training roles. Airfield conditions are summarized in Table IV-1. The predominant land use around this facility was agriculture with some residential and environmentally protected land uses.

The purposes of this Plan were to: 1. Determine the 20 year aviation demand that needs to be met within Dade County and the 30 year demand for any new air carrier airport site. 2. Identify the most operationally, economically, and environmentally feasible alternative for meeting the demand. 3. Determine the long-term role of each aviation facility and a related program of major improvements. 4. Identify actions needed to protect and enhance the aviation system and its component facilities in meeting their roles. A summary of the results of this Plan were then included in the Support Component of the Port and Aviation Element and, as noted above, in the adopted component, in order to comply with the requirements of Chapter 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code, FAC. The following sections provide summaries of this information. Forecast of Aviation Facility Demand - 1988 Forecasts of future air carrier and general aviation demands were made to provide the basis for determining the ability of the Dade County Aviation System to meet long term needs. Rather than use future aviation activity by year, planning activity Ievels were used to establish future approximate requirements for airport facilities, Thus forecasts were prepared for each of the four future air carrier activity levels of aircraft operations and enplanements, as shown on Table IV-3; and for each of four future levels of general aviation based aircraft and total operations as shown on Table IV-4. Aviation System Capacity and Requirements - 1988 As part of the system plan effort each of Dade's airports were evaluated in general terms of its capacity based on current and under construction facilities. Also, the facilities necessary to meet the forecast demand at each activity level were estimated. The Dade -Collier Training and Transition and the Base were excluded from this analysis.

The two major measures of capacity of the Dade County aviation system airports are: 1. the ratio of the annual operations demand to annual service volume, and 2. aircra.R delays. Table IV-5 shows the annual demand to service ratio (ASV) for Miami International Airport and for the general aviation airports, excluding the Dade -Collier facility. As this ratio approaches or exceeds 1.0 the facility rapidly becomes congested. For instance, the demand to ASV ratio at T IV-12 95- 830 Miami International Airport approaches 1.0 at the 15 million enplanement level, estimated to occur in 1997. In addition, Table IV-5 shows annual aircraft delay calculated using available methodology, expressed in minutes per aircraft operation, thus providing a measure of an airport's ability to accommodate aircraft operations.

Annual sen•ice volume (ASV) is a level of annual aircraft operations at an airport that can be used as a reference point for general planning. b. Each general aviation airport's allocation of annual demand is proportional to its annual service volume. The general aviation airports considered in this table arc Homestead General, Opa-Locka, Opa-Locka West, and Tamiami. c, The annual service volume of Homestead General and Opa-Locker West airports may increase over time as these airports accommodate more activity. IV-13 Requirements. The several components of Miami International Airport were evaluated in terms of the magnitude of requirements to meet the forecast demand at each activity level. A similar analysis was made for the required runways and buildings for general aviation airports. Table IV-5 shows the requirements for runways, terminal gates, terminal building area, curbside length, parking spaces and roadway entrance lanes for MIA, as well as runways and building space of general aviation airports. Aviation Facility Improvements. A list of facility improvements needed in order to meet the existing and future aviation demand in Dade County was also adopted as part of the Aviation Facilities Subelement. These improvements were divided between those addressing existing deficiency, future growth, and other needs, and between near term (1989-1993) and long term (1994-2010). These improvements listed in Table IV-6 were described in more detail in the Capital Improvement Element of the 1988 CDMP.

The EAR must describe these updated current conditions to sufficiently address the element specific rule requirements of Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. In most elements this section will present a description of element conditions between 1988 and 1994, or use the latest date for which information is available. In this way a convenient comparison of changed conditions is presented in order to provide the basis for identifying significant trends and new developments. Also included in this section is a summary of all element amendments since the date of plan adoption, and a description of relevant planning activities or studies that were completed between 1988 and 1994, or that may be ongoing. In 1995 the Dade County aviation system consists of the same six major aviation facilities owned and operated by Dade County in 1988 and the recently realigned U.S. Homestead Air Force Base now officially known as the Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB), see Figure IV-8.

Three of the County's major aviation facilities fell victim of this Category 4 hurricane -- Homestead Air Force Base, Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport, and Homestead General Airport. Rebuilding of the Base, the Kendall -Tamiami Executive and the Homestead General facilities is well underway. Precipitated by the damage caused by Hurricane Andrew and by the recommendations of the 1993 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, the Homestead Air Force Base (HAFB) was officially realigned as the Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB) on September, 27, 1993. This realignment called for the departure of the Base's active duty fighter squadrons and a downsizing of the Air Force controlled property. An Air Force Reserve Fighter Squadron and Search and Rescue Squadron were planned to remain at the Base and a contingent of the Florida Air National Guard was also to return. A Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for this facility has been prepared by the Air Force and cooperating agencies. The FEIS which was issued in February 1994, identified the excess and surplus property to be disposed of A Record of Decision (ROD) for the partial disposal of the closure portion of the Homestead Air Force Base (HAFB) was signed off by the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force on October 26th, 1994. This ROD identified the excess and surplus property that will be made available to Dade County for use as a public airport once the environmental clean-up of the Base is completed. The proposed dual use of this facility brings to the County's Aviation Department an opportunity to supplement operations at Miami International Airport and at the County's general aviation facilities at a future date. Update and Analysis of Baseline Data Existing airfield conditions of all Dade County facilities are summarized in Table IV-7 while their existing physical layouts -- including clear zones, runways, access roadways and rail lines -- are depicted in Figures IV-9 through IV-15. Land uses around these aviation facilities have, in essence, kept the same trend as that depicted in the existing conditions (1988) and in compliance with the 1988 Future Land Use Map; see also the Existing Land Use Map in the Land Use Element chapter of this Report. In the following sections, updated data is presented for evaluation purposes; as expected most of this data originates from the Dade County Aviation Department or from drafts of the ongoing update of the 1988 Dade County Aviation System Plan.

Tables IV-8 and IV-9 provide summaries of air carrier and cargo activities at MIA and of general aviation at all County's facilities respectively. As it can be noted from Table IV-8, both passenger enplanements and cargo tonnage at MIA have significantly increased since 1988, well within the adopted attainment forecast levels. The same cannot be said of general aviation activity. Table IV-9 shows very little growth of general aviation operations at County's facilities since 1988. This growth has been so minimal that total yearly operations have been consistently below the adopted 1988-1993 forecast planning activity level for these facilities. This significant issue will be dealt with in the following section.

The number of gates and terminal space at MIA have increased within and beyond the 1988 forecast. For instance, currently N41A has 112 gates and approximately 3.8 million sq. ft. of terminal space. According to the 1989 forecast figures, MIA should have reached the number of 106 jet gates and 2.7 million sq. ft. by the end of the 1987-2095 period as well as that of 122 jet gates and 3.1 million sq. ft. before the end of the 1992- 2002. Air Carrier and Cargo Activity Forecast at M1A. Miami International Airport (MIA) is the gateway between the United States and Central and South Arrlerica, the Caribbean and an important connecting point between Europe and Latin America. The increasing volume of international traffic at MIA is reflective of the increasing internationalization of Miami. In the past, Miami could have been described as the United States' outpost in Central and South America. It is now more appropriate to say that Miami is becoming Central and South Americas' outpost in the United States. This shift in character is key to the Miami International Airport forecasts. Since 1970, domestic passenger traffic at MIA has more than doubled (from 7.3 mMion to 15.8 million) while international passenger traffic has nearly tripled (3.4 million to 10.0 million). Note that during this period domestic air travel was deregulated, causing extraordinary growth in domestic activity that is unlikely to ever be repeated. On the other hand, international air travel is just beginning a similar move toward liberalization, and has similar potential for explosive worldwide growth. Miami's internationalization has the Airport well positioned to take advantage of the faster growing international component of world aviation activity including international -to -domestic as well as domestic -to -international connections. Given this situation, the updated forecasts of passengers and cargo at MIA were based on methodologies that emphasized its international role, while maintaining a reasonable but moderate domestic activity growth. Table IV-10 summarizes the forecast levels of air carrier and cargo activity for MIA. Table IV-10 Air Carver and Cargo Activity Forecast at MIA - 1995 Total Passengers 33,000,000 40,000,000 55,000,000 Law Forecast 1997 2004 2021 - Preferred Forecast 1995 2000 2010 High Forecast 1994 1998 2006 Cargo (tons) 1,000,000 1,954,000 2,483.000 Total Operations 526,200 579,100 677,800 Source: Miami International Airport Master Plan Update -- Landrum&BroNNT, June 1994. Draft Dade County Miation System Plan Update, 1995. IV-29 General Aviation Operation Forecast. The issue for system level forecasting, concerns what operational levels are reasonable for general aviation activity in Dade County in the future. A Planning Activity Level, or PAL, is a planning tool used as a basis for facility or airspace planning when the activity being measured proves to be difficult to forecast on a yearly basis. The PAL represents the combined general aviation operational activity at Dade County's airports. PALS are extremely useful for general aviation airports, where growth patterns are unpredictable between system airports in a metropolitan area from year to year, such as in Dade County. Just as the 1988 Dade County Aviation Systetn Plan contained Planning Activity Level (PAL) forecasts -- Table IV-4, the ongoing Aviation System Plan update will also utilize PAL forecasts, rather than calendar year forecasts, in order to eliminate the need to account for volatility in general aviation growth. Even under the low forecast in the 1988 CDNT, general aviation operations in Dade County should have been 875,000 in 1993 for the four general aviation airports (Opa-Locka, Kendall-Tamiami, Opa-Locks Nest and Homestead General). The actual total general aviation operations, including not only the four general aviation airports, but the general aviation operations at MIA artd at the Dade -Collier Training and Transition Airport as well, were 696,705 operations in 1993, or about 20% below the low forecast contained in the 1988 System Plan. This is fairly typical of general aviation forecast prepared in the past decade. The general aviation industry simply has not grown, and has, in fact, declined in many areas around the country. In Dade County, due to the historically strong performance of general aviation, and given the potential for improvement in general aviation that may result from recent legislation dealing with liability, general aviation is expected to recover from losses caused by Hurricane Andrew and grow, but at a very slow rate. Even under the most optimistic of assumptions a growth rate of one percent per year would more likely represent an upper limit. Using a one percent per year growth rate,, a level of approximately 1,000,000 annual operations would be obtained around the year 2024. Therefore, the 1,000,000 armual operations has been selected as the upper planning level forecast for general aviation activity in the ongoing aviation system plan update. Intermediate planning levels of 750,000 and 875,000 annual general aviation operations have been selected as activity horizons for planning purposes. The potential for attaining these levels is presented in the following table: Table IV- 11 General Aviation Activity Forecast -- Annual Aircraft Operation Planning Activity Level Most optimistic Most Likely (Year Attained) (Year Attained) 750,000 1995 1997 875,000 2011 2028 1,000,000 2024 >2030 Source: Draft Dade Count}' Aviation System Plan Update, 1995. IV-30 95- 830 It is quite likely that only the first two levels, 750,000 and 850,000 annual operations will be attained before the year 2030 unless there are dramatic changes in the general aviation industry, and in particular, in both the supply as well as the cost of owning and operating general aviation aircrafts. Aviation System Capacity and Requirements. As part of the Miami International Airport Master Plan Update and the ongoing Aviation System Plan effort,, Dade County's airports were evaluated in general terms of its capacity based on existing and under construction facilities. In addition, the facilities necessary -- the requirements -- to meet the forecast demand at each activity level were estimated. Table IV-12 shows a summary of these findings. Aviation Facility Improvements. The list of facility improvements needed in order to meet the existing and future aviation demand in Dade County adopted as part of the Aviation Facilities Subelement has been updated. The current status of these original projects and new projects are shown in Table IV-13. Amendment History Since Date of Adoption There has only been one amendment to this Subelement since the date of adoption. This amendment is summarized below: Port and Aviation Element, Aviation Facilities Subelement Amendment, 1995. This amendment, Application No. 9 of the May 1994-95 Amendment Cycle, called for three specific changes to the Aviation Facilities Subelement aimed at reflecting the realignment of the Homestead Air Force Base (HAFB). In general, the adopted changes revised the name of the HAFB to that of the Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB); reclassified the Base as a commercial service, general a-viation, and military airport; and expanded Policy 2D and other text to reflect the consistency of any redevelopment plan with the Record of Decision of the Secretary of the Air Force. This amendment was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on April 19, 1995, under Ordinance No. 95-72. At publication time, the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has yet to issue the notice of intent finding this CDMP amendment in compliance.

SINCE 1988 Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 6., F.A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in: 1) Section 187.02, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP); 2) the appropriate strategic regional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, Part M F.S. (Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-5, F.A_C. (Minimum Criteria For Review of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP). These plans, in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above referenced statutory and rule changes, this subelement will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. Consistency with the State Comprehensive Plan The 1988 CDMP was prepared consistent with the provisions of Chapter 187, Florida Statutes, also known as the 1985 State Comprehensive Plan (SCP). More specifically the goal, objectives and policies of this Subelement were consistent with the goal and policies of the "Transportation" component of the SCP, as stated in Section 187.201(20) of the Florida Statutes. Since then, Chapter 187 has been amended only once in 1993; however, none of the State's goals and policies amended have impacted the mandated requirements of the Port and Aviation Element. Therefore, this Subelement remains consistent with the SCP as amended. Consistency with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida The 1988 Comprehensive Development Master Plan was prepared consistent with the provisions of the 1987 Regional Plan of South Florida. Since then, the Regional Plan has been amended once, in 1991, and as a result of changes in state legislature, the South Florida Regional Planning IV-39 F Council has recently prepared and submitted a draft of the mandated Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida (SRPP) which upon adoption it would replace the 1991 Plan. It is on the latest draft of the SRPP that the Evaluation and Appraisal of the County's CDMP would, for now, be based. A thorough review for consistency of he adopted CDMP with the proposed SRPP has been conducted, Table IV-14 and subsequent text summarize the findings. Table TV-14 Consistency Between Adopted CDMP And Proposed Strategic Policy Regional P n Strategic Policy Regional Plan Elements of Consistency Within The Components Related to Aviation Adopted CDMP Strategic Regional Goals 4.1 and 5.1 Aviation Goal Regional Policies 4.1.12, 4.1.13, Objective 1, Policies lA , 1B & 1D; 4.1.15, 5.1.7 and 5.1.15 Objective 4, Policy 4D; Regional Policies 5.1.9, Policy 5.1.12, and 5.1.14 Source: Dade County Planning Department, 1995.

Consistency with relevant Strategic Regional Goal and Policies under this issue: Strategic Regional Goal 4.1 calls for the establishment of a competitive and diversified regional economy, though the achievement of, among others, economic development infrastructure to ensure a sustainable regional community. Aviation Facilities Subelement 's Goal calls for ensuring the provision of an economic, integrated environment and community sensitive, and balanced system of air transportation facilities and services to move people and cargo with the aim, among others, of enhancing the economy and quality of life in the County and the Region. Therefore, The Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Goal 4.1. Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.12 calls for the coordination of airports with ground transportation modes through forums, workshops and serrunars as it relates to trade and tourism. Aviation Facilities Subelement Policies 613 and 6C call for the coordination of County's aviation facilities with ground transportation modes -via the County's participation in the planning and review process of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Therefore, the Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.12. IV-40 95- 830 Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.13 calls for ensuring the conditions of transportation facilities affecting trade opportunities in the region in respect to land, air, ground and shipping. In the overall, Aviation Facilities Subelement Policies IA, 113. IC, 1D, 4A, 6C and 9A call for the provision of sufficient transportation services -- including aviation, transit, etc. -- to meet current demand and to maximize support of local and regional economic growth. Therefore, the Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.12. Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.15 calls for enhancing the roles of airports in economic development. In the overall, Aviation Facilities Subelement Policies 1A, 1B, 1C, ID, 2A, 213, 6A, 6B, 9A, and 9B call for the maintenance and enhancement of the role of each of the County's aviation facilities by, among other factors, improving airport conditions, linkages and accessibility. Therefore, the Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 4.1,15. Strategic Issue 5.: Regional Transportation. Consistency with relevant Strategic Regional Goal and Policies under this issue: Strategic Regional Goal 5.1 calls for the achievement of a mutually supportive transportation planning and land use planning that promotes mobility and accessibility, in order to foster economic development, preserve natural systems, improve air quality and promote safety. Aviation Facilities Subelement Goal calls for ensuring the provision of an economic, integrated environment and community sensitive, and balanced system of air transportation facilities and services to move people and cargo with the aim, among others, of enhancing the economy and quality of life in the County and the Region. In addition, Aviation Facilities Subelement Objectives 6, 7, 8, and 9 call for the maximization of accessibility, compatibility with the environment, and compatibility with surrounding land uses of all County's aviation facilities. Therefore, the Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Regional Goal 5.1. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.7 calls for the planning of land uses around aviation facilities to allow future increased operations and to prevent unnecessary social or economic conflicts and costs. In the overall, Aviation Facilities Subelement Policies 4A, 4D, 4E, 7A, 8A, 8B, 8C and 8D call for the compatibility of County's aviation facilities with surrounding communities, as well as the natural environment in order to allow maximization of operations and minimization of adverse impacts. Therefore, the Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.7. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.12 calls for the improvement of intermodal linkages among the various transportation systems in the region. In the overall, Aviation Facilities Subelement Policies 6A, 6B and 6C call for the improvement of the transportation linkages around the County's aviation facilities -- including: highway and transit linkages. Therefore, the Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.12. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.14 calls for the enhancement of freight movement through the development of a multimodal regional transportation system with links between highways, rail, air and sea transportation. In the overall, Aviation Facilities Subelement Goal and Policies 6A, 6B, IV-41 6C, 9A and 9B call for the effective and efficient movement of passengers and cargo in and out County's aviation facilities. Therefore, the Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.I4. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.15 calls for the promotion of efficient, dependable and cost-effective intermodal movement of goods and passengers to ensure the region's continued ability to compete for trade movements and cruise passenger business. In the overall, In the overall, Aviation Facilities Subelement Goal and Policies 6A, 6B, 6C, 9A and 9B call for the effective and efficient movement of passengers and cargo in and out County's aviation facilities in order to maximize support of local and regional growth. Therefore, the Aviation Facilities Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.15. Consistency with Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes The requirements of Section 163.3177(7)(b), F.S., for the Port and Aviation Element have not been amended since 1988. Therefore, the current Port and Aviation Element remains consistent with these provisions. In 1993, Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., was amended to add Section 163.3177(6)0), F.S., requiring each unit of local government within an urbanized area designated for the purposes of Section 339.175, F.S., to prepare and adopt a transportation element in lieu of the requirements for a separate Mass Transit and Port and Aviation Element. According to the Statute, the aviation portion of the transportation element is to specifically address land use compatibility around airport . The 1988 CDMP has addressed via objectives and policies the land use compatibility issue around airports and other major transportation facilities thus making this Subelement and the CDMP consistent with this requirement. On the other hand, the CDMP has yet to meet the requirement of a multimodal transportation element. Through this evaluation and appraisal report process the County is updating this Subelement and making it an integral part of a county -wide multimodal transportation element. Consistency with Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C, provides, through its rules, rnsi i um criteria for review of local government comprehensive plans and determination of compliance. Subsection 9J-5.009, F.A.C., sets the overall element requirements for the Port and Aviation Element, Since 1988 there have been no amendments to this section. Therefore, the Port and Aviation Element remains consistent with the noted Subsection of Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. However, in 1993, Subsection 9J-5.019 was added reflecting previously stated changes to Chapter 163, Part 1I, Florida Statutes, regarding the adoption and preparation of a transportation element. As noted above, through this evaluation and appraisal report process the County is updating this Subelement and making it an integral part of a county -wide multimodal transportation element.

PORT OF MIAMI RIVER SUBELEMENT INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) is to evaluate and assess the effectiveness of the locally adopted comprehensive plan in accomplishing its adopted objectives, in addressing changes in local conditions, in addressing new requirements of State planning law, and in identifying changes needed to update the Port of Miami River Subelement of the Port and Aviation Element of the CDMP. This Subelement evaluation has been prepared in substantial keeping with the EAR minimum criteria prescribed by Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6), F.A.C. In order to ensure that all EAR content requirements have been sufficiently addressed, the CDN P Port of Miami River Subelement is organized into the following sections: Condition of Element at Date of Adoption; Condition of Element at Date of Report; Effect of Statutory and Rule Changes Since 1988; Achievement of Objectives; New Issues and Unanticipated and Unforeseen Problems and Opportunities; Major Problems of Development, Physical Deterioration, Location of Land Uses, and the Social and Economic Effects of the Major Problems Identified, and; Conclusions and Proposed Revisions. The purpose of each Section is described in its opening paragraph. The material presented in this part is limited in scope to the shipping facilities found along the Miami River. These shipping terminals, that primarily serve shallow draft vessels, were together formally designated as the Port of Miami River in 1986 to meet the regulations of the U.S. Coast Guard. The adopted components of Port of Miami River Subelement include the goal, objectives, policies, and monitoring program. The deepwater Port of Miami at Dodge and Lummus Islands, which serves cruise ships and major vessels, is addressed in the Coastal Management Element. CONDITION OF SUBELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION The purpose of this section of the EAR, as identified in Subsection 9J-5.0053(6) (a) I " F.A.C., is to provide a summary of data and analysis describing baseline conditions of the Port of Miami River Subelement of the CDMP at time of its adoption in 1988. The conditions inventoried and IV-72 95- 830 analyzed in this element were based on the most recent available data at that time. This summary will address the pertinent Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., data and analysis requirements for the Port of Miami River Subelement. In 1988 The Port of Miami River consisted of approximately 14 independent shipping terminals, along the Miami River as shown in Figure IV-16, that were joined together in 1986 in order to comply with U.S. Coast Guard regulations regarding pumpout of bilge water. These facilities were: 1. Victoria Marine 2. Miami Ship Services - 3. Bahamas International Line 4. Vas Meza Marine 5. East River Terminal 6. Bernuth Marine Shipping 7. Miami Marine 8. Hyde Shipping Corporation 9. Antillean Marine Shipping 10. Pioneer Shipping 11. South and Caribbean Agency 12. CMT Line 13. Caribbean Ocean Shipping 14. Best Terminal Dock Shipping Terminals The 14 shipping terminals located on the Miami River provide service to small ports on the Caribbean Basin. These terminals served about 30 shipping agents and lines engaged in commercial trade with more than 50 ports of call throughout the Caribbean and northern South America. Approximately 40 ships, plus unknown number of smaller vessels. call regularly at the Port of Miami River. The majority of the business conducted at these terminals consisted of the export of goods from the Miami area to other ports of call. These terminals are utilized for seafood, general cargo container, roll-on/roll-off cargo, and sand and aggregate activities. For many islands in the Caribbean the river has been a lifeline that provides essential goods and services The ten major shipping terminals on the river accounted for about 1,070 vessel departures per year. Average tonnage per ship ranged from 250 to 1,350 tons per voyage. In 1986, these cargo terminals accounted for the shipment of 594,500 tons of cargo with an estimated value of $1.7 billion.

Vacant land accounted for about 15 percent of the river shoreline and consisted of many large parcels, particularly in the downtown core area. In the unincorporated area west of NW 27th Avenue, shipping and other marine uses such as repair activities, boat manufacturing facilities and freight forwarding operations predominated. Parking areas for rental facilities serving Miami International Airport were also ubiquitous on the south sine of the River, south of South River Drive. ,accessibility The cargo terminals along the Miami River were accessible by roadway, and in one area, by railroad. Northwest North River Drive and NW South River Drive were the thoroughfares directly serving the terminals. The CSX transportation railroad line ran along NW North River Drive from about NW 23 Street to NW 36 Street. While NW North River Drive and NW South River Drive generally provided good access to the cargo terminals lining the river, linkages between these two roadways and the expressway system were only fair for the portion of the River west of NW 17th Avenue. Connections to the Dolphin Expressway via NW 27th Avenue, NW 37th Avenue and NW 42nd Avenue were adequate. Future Port Conditions The Port of Miami River was expected to retain its share of the growing international trade activity occurring in Dade County. Due to the proximity of highway, rail and aviation facilities, the banks of the Miami River west of N%V 27th Avenue and east of the salinity dam were expected to remain the predominant area for shipping facilities serving the small ports of the Caribbean. This western section of the Port of Miami River was recommended to be used only for marine industrial and commercial activities, as shown in Figure IV-18. The possibility of connecting both banks of the river by construction of a bridge at NW 32nd Avenue or NW 37th Avenue was being evaluated then. Marine interests were opposed to the bridge on NW 32nd Avenue because of possible interference with shipping operations. However, a bridge on NW 37th Avenue was deemed to be not as beneficial for traffic circulation purposes. Several capital improvements had been programmed or proposed with the aim of protecting the river as a natural resource, including drainage and stormwater retrofitting programs. Removal of the contaminated sediments from the bottom of the Miami River had also been proposed. In addition, the need for a comprehensive study to foster growth and economic vitality of the Port of Miami River was acknowledged.

In most elements this section will present a description of element conditions between 1988 and 1994, or use the latest date for which information is available.- In this way a convenient comparison of changed conditions is presented in order to provide the basis for identifying significant trends and new developments. Also included in this section is a summary of all Subelement amendments since the date of plan adoption, and a description of relevant planning activities or studies that were completed between 1988 and 1994, or that may be ongoing. As shown in Figure IV-19, in 1995 the Port of Miami River consists of about 28 independent shipping terminals located along the navigable 5.5 miles of the Miami River that stretch from the salinity dam to the Biscayne Bay. These facilities are: 1. Brickell Shipping 2. Miarni Ship Services 3. Ameritrade 4. Herrera Shipping Terminals 5. Sea Star Lines 6. Schurger Terminals/22nd Avenue Terminal 7. Caribbean Sea Carrier 8.

Existing Land Uses In the overall, land uses along the River have not significantly changed since 1988 (See Figure IV-20). More specifically there has not been a land use amendment to the Land Use Plan Map along the County portion of the Port of Miami River since the date of adoption of the CDMP. Therefore, land uses along the River continue to include a high percentage of marine -related commercial and industrial uses. Shipping and other marine uses such as repair activities, boat manufacturing facilities and freight forwarding operations continue to predominate. Parking areas for rental facilities serving Miami International Airport continue to predominate on the south side of the River, south of South River Drive. Accessibility The cargo terminals along the Miami River continue to be accessible by roadway, and in one area, by railroad. NW North River Drive and NW South River Drive continue to be the thoroughfares directly serving the terminals. They generally provide good access to the cargo terminals lining the river; linkages between these two roadways and the expressway system continue to be fair for the portion of the River west of NW 17th Avenue. Connections to the Dolphin Expressway via NW 27th Avenue, NW 37th Avenue and NW 42nd Avenue are still adequate. In addition, recently completed, under construction, programmed and planned roadway improvements in the area will IV-80 T. 95- 830 ..::.::..... ........

However, this will not come as easy as it was in the 1980's. The Port of Miami River is starting to face certain constraints in regard to expansion of commercial shipping. Competition from the Ports of Palm Beach, Manatee and Everglades has already affected the Port of Miami River. In particular, a couple of the River's largest shipping companies have or Ail] relocate, to Port Evergiadcs. The emerging, Port Manatee, which can accommodate ships with over a 20-foot draft, is increasingly posing strong competition for trade with ports west of Cuba, where Miami does not enjoy a locationab-advantage. A binding constraint on the expansion of trade on the Miami River is the sediments which have accumulated in the main shipping channel, making it narrower and shallower. Large vessels can only pass at high tide, limiting the number of trips per day and the amount of cargo that may be loaded. Without dredging the River, large cargo vessels will be forced to cease operation, thus jeopardizing the economic feasibility of the River's shipping industry. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has completed a study on alternatives for the dredging and disposal of sediments from the Miami River. However, no steps have yet been taken towards its implementation. Concerns about the dredging method, the recommended sediments' disposal sites, as well as funding have been very critical to any progress of this project. In the near future, new development and/or future expansion of shipping terminal facilities in the Miami River may also be contingent to the mandates of the proposed "Manatee Protection Plan." The draft Plan., identifies the Miami River area as one where "manatee use is heavy," thus requiring the placement of fender systems and the no intrusion of any facility or expansion of into State designated manatee protection "No Entry" zones. Nevertheless, where permitted, appropriate and suitable marine industrial and commercial oriented land uses will continue to be encouraged along the County portion of the Miami River, as shown in Figure IV-21. Regarding runoff, several ongoing drainage programs aimed at reducing the flow of stormwater into the river and the retrofitting of existing stormwater outfalis with injection wells, French drains, swales or other features to retain at least the first one inch of stormwater is under way. The ongoing Stormwater Master Plan Study being conducted by the Count_y's Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) will eventually identify areas with significant flood control and non -point source pollution problems and develop effective solutions for addressing such issues as stormwater runoff. Finally, several transportation related issues around the Port of Miami River are also being addressed by ongoing planning efforts such as the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) and the East-West. Multimodal Corridor studies (see Completed and Ongoing Planning Activities section below). The value of the Port of Miami River is recognized in the "Miami Marketplace: Destination 2001," although specific study of the Miami River was not included. Efforts should be made to incorporate Miami River cargo facilities into transportation/intermodal plans for the Port of Miami and Miami International Airport.

Completed and Ongoing Planning Activities Completed Studies. The following is a list of related studies that have been completed since 1988: City of Miami's Miami River Master Plan of 1992. This Master Plan was adopted by the City Commission on January 23, 1992; it partially concludes that the following are among the most important issues and opportunities that deserve community attention on the Miami River: dynamic growth of shipping activity; persistent water pollution; crime; lack of authority to regulate foreign flag vessels; and revitalization of adjoining neighborhoods. Both text and findings from this Plan have been included in this evaluation and appraisal report. Alternatives for the Dredging and Disposal of Sediment from the Miami Harbor (Miami River) Project, Florida, December 1993. The purpose of this U.S. Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Study was to conduct an assessment to identify and develop a set of alternatives for the disposal of contaminated sediments from the Miami Harbor (Miami River) Project. Alternative dredging techniques and sediment disposal sites are presented and examined on a costfbenefit and environmental safety basis. Proposed Manatee Protection Plan. The purpose of this proposed plan is to provide county -wide protection for the manatee and its habitat by including criteria for vessel speed zones, marina/boat facilities and their siting, law enforcement, shoreline and submerged land development, educational programs, habitat protection, human -manatee interactions, and governmental coordination. The objectives of the proposed Dade County plan are drawn from relative objectives set forth in the Florida Manatee Recovery Plan developed in 1989. Preliminary drafts of the County`s Plan indicate that the Miami River is among the handful areas of significant 1V-85 winter concentration of manatees. According to the Plan, the movement of ships along the River, specially during the winter season, increases the possibility of injury, harassment and mortality of manatees, thus rendering the shipping activity along the River in conflict with the protection plan. Furthermore, the proposed Plan calls for protection and enhancement of "aggregation areas," including the County's portion of the Miami River and the Palmer Lake area, via the "CDRtP, zoning codes and local agencies ordinance and habitat acquisition by federal, state and local agencies where possible." Due to the preponderance of the language of the proposed Plan and its potential impact on the River activities, the Planning staff along with the Miami River's agencies and interested parties are following the evolution of this Plan very clq, ely. Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management's (DERM) Miami River Water Quality Plan, March 1993. This study was prepared for the Miami River Water Quality Commission. It included a synthesis and re-evaluation of existing environmental data on the Miami River basin, and specific recommendations, including responsibility and schedules, for restoring the water quality of the Miami River.

IV-86 95- 830 EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULES CHANGES SINCE 1988 Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 6., F.A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in: 1) Section 187.02, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP); 2) the appropriate strategic regional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. (Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria For Review of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP). These plans, in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above referenced statutory and rule changes, this Subelement will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. Consistency with the State Comprehensive Plan The 1988 CDMP was prepared consistent with the provisions of Chapter 187 of the Florida Statutes also known as the 1985 State Comprehensive Plan (SCP). More specifically the goal, objectives and policies of this Subelement were consistent with the goal and policies of the "Transportation" component of the of the SCP, as stated in Section 187.201(20), Florida Statutes. Since then, Chapter 187 has been amended only once in 1993; however, none of the State's goals and policies amended have impacted the mandated requirements of the Port and Aviation Element. Therefore, this Subelement remains consistent with the SCP as amended. Consistency with the Regional Plan of South Florida The 1988 Comprehensive Development Master Plan was prepared consistent with the provisions of the 1987 Regional Plan of South Florida. Since then, the Regional Plan has been amended once, in 1991, and as a result of changes in state legislature, the South Florida Regional Planning IV-87 T Council has recently prepared and submitted a drag of the mandated Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida (SRPP) which upon adoption it would replace the 1991 Plan. It is on the latest draft of the SRPP that the Evaluation and Appraisal of the County's CDMP would, for now, be based. A thorough review for consistency of the adopted CDMP with the proposed SRPP has been conducted, Table IV-18 and subsequent text summarize the findings. Table IV-18 Consistency Between Adopted CDMP And Proposed Strategic Policy Regional Plan Strategic Policy Regional Plan Elements of Consistency Within The Components Related to Aviation Adopted CDMP Strategic Regional Goals 4.1 and 5.1 Port of Miami River Goal Regional Policies 4.1.12, 4.1.13, Objective 1, Policies IA &1B, and 4.1.15', 5.1.7 and 5.1.15 Objective 3.

Consistency with relevant Strategic Regional Goal and Policies under this issue: Strategic Regional Goal 4.1 calls for the establishment of a competitive and diversified regional economy, though the achievement of, among others, economic development infrastructure to ensure a sustainable regional community. The Port of Miami River Subelement Goal calls for maintaining and enhancing the water quality, attractiveness and economic viability of the Port of Miami River, Therefore, The Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Goal 4.1. Strategic Regional Goal 4.1, Policy 4.1.12 calls for the coordination of Port with ground transportation modes through forums, workshops and seminars as it relates to trade and tourism. Port of Miami River Subelement Policies 2A, 2B and 2C call for the coordination of Port of Miami River facilities with ground transportation modes with such groups and' agencies as the Mani River Coordinating Committee and the Miami River Marine Group. Therefore, the Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.12. Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.13 calls for ensuring the conditions of transportation facilities affecting trade opportunities in the region in respect to land, air, ground and shipping. Port of Miami River Subelement Policies 2A, 2B and 2C call for the improvement of transportation linkages between the Port of Miami River facilities and the County's transportation systems Therefore, the Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.13. IV-88 95- 830 Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.15 calls for enhancing the roles of ports in economic development. Port of Miami River Subelement Goal, as well as Objective 1 and its policies call for the maintenance and enhancement of the economic viability of the Port of Miami River. Therefore, the Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 4.1.15. Strategic Issue 5.: Regional Transportation. Consistency with relevant Strategic Regional Goal and Policies under this issue: Strategic Regional Goal 5.1 calls for the achievement of a mutually supportive transportation planning and land use planning that promotes mobility and accessibility, in order to foster economic development, preserve natural systems, improve air quality and promote safety. The Port of Miami River Subelement Goal calls for maintaining and enhancing the water quality, attractiveness and economic viability of the Port of Miami River, Furthermore, Port of Miami River Subelement Objective 1, calls for the protection of the Port of Miami River facilities from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. Therefore, the Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Goal 5.1. Strategic Regional Goal 5.1, Policy 5.1.7 calls for the planning of land uses around ports facilities to allow future increased operations and to prevent unnecessary social or economic conflicts and costs. Port of Miami River Subelement Objective 1 and its policies call for the protection of the Port of Miami River facilities from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. Therefore, the Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.7. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.12 calls for the improvement of intermodal linkages among the various transportation systems in the region. Port of Miami River Subelement Objective 2 and its policies call for the improvement of intermodal transportation linkages around the Port of Miami River facilities. Therefore, the Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.12. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.14 calls for the enhancement of freight movement through the development of a multimodal regional transportation system with links between highways, rail, air and sea transportation. Port of Miami River Subelement Objective 2 and its policies call for the improvement of multimodal transportation linkages around the Port of Miami River facilities. Therefore, the Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.14. Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.15 calls for the promotion of efficient, dependable and cost-effective intermodal movement of goods and passengers to ensure the region's continued ability to compete for trade movements and cruise passenger business. Port of Miami River Subelement Objective 2 and its policies call for the study and subsequent implementation of a highway system linking the Port of Miami River facilities with the County's multimodal transportation system. Therefore, the Port of Miami River Subelement is consistent with Strategic Regional Policy 5.1.15. IV-89 Consistence with Chapter 163, mart II, Florida Statutes The requirements of Section 163.3177(7)(b), F.S., for the Port and Aviation Element have not been amended since 1988. Therefore, the current Port and Aviation Element remains consistent with these provisions. In 1993, Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., was amended to add Section 163.3177(6)0), F.S., requiring each unit of local government within an urbanized area designated for the purposes of Section 339.175, F.S., to prepare and adopt a transportation element in lieu of the requirements for a separate Mass Transit and fort and Aviation Element. According to the Statute, the port portion of the transportation element is to identify spoil disposal sites around the Port of Miami River. Through this evaluation and appraisal report process the County is updating this Subelement and malting it an integral part of a county -wide multimodal transportation element. Consistency with Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C, provides, through its rules, minimum criteria for review of local government comprehensive plans and determination of compliance. Subsection 9J-5.009, F.A.C., sets the overall element requirements for the Port and Aviation Element. Since 1988 there have been no amendments to this section. Therefore, the Port and Aviation Element remains consistent with the noted Subsection of Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. however, in 1993, Subsection 9J-5.019 was added reflecting previously stated changes to Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, regarding the adoption and preparation of a transportation element. As noted above, through this evaluation and appraisal report process the County is updating this Subelement and making it an integral part of a county -wide multimodal transportation element. ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES This section of the EAR evaluates the progress in achieving all of the adopted CBMP Port of Miami River Subelement objectives as of the date of this report. Objective achievement analysis may involve the use of baseline data that existed at the time of adoption and for current conditions that are described in previous sections of this EAR. The comparison of such data provides a useful benchmark for determining achievement of the objectives over the last six years. In other instances where objectives are more directory in nature, acknowledgment of implementation will be used to assess achievement. Each Port of Miami River Subelement objective is listed below followed by a description of the monitoring measure associated with that objective. In many cases the monitoring measure listed for a specific objective was adopted as part of the Subelement's monitoring program. Where a listed monitoring measure could not be used to adequately address a particular objective, an appropriate surrogate measure was developed and applied to evaluate objective achievement. In instances where neither a listed monitoring measure IV-90 35- `830 nor a surrogate measure could be used or adequately developed, then objective achievement was evaluated through a policy implementation assessment. Suggestions are included, where appropriate, for the need to revise objectives in order to make them more specific and measurable, or to revise the Subelement's monitoring program to provide logical measurable standards where the current measures are vague or inadequate. An analysis of policy relevancy is also discussed below. All policies under each Subelement objective are reviewed for continued relevance, but only those policies which may require some revision are identified and addressed. Objective 1 The Port of Miami River shall be protected from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The following is the adopted monitoring measure for Objective I: Indices showing the growth or shrinkage of the amount of river frontage devoted to marine related/dependent business activity shall be prepared biennially. This adopted monitoring measure has not been implemented; however, the following surrogate measures will be used to measure objective achievement: 1. Records of land use changes in the vicinity of the Miami River in unincorporated Dade County since 1988. 2. Records of zoning changes in the vicinity of the Miami River in unincorporated Dade County since 1988 Objective 1 Achievement Analysis. In general, there has not been a Land Use Plan Map change along or in the vicinity of the Port of Miami River in unincorporated Dade County. Regarding zoning, there has only been one zoning application approved in the vicinity or along the Port of Miami River west of NW 27th Avenue. Application Z-95, approved on June 6, 1991, granted special exceptions, non-use and use variances to permit the expansion on an existing nightclub facility on the riverfront and within its original confinements. Official records show that Policy 1B was taken into consideration during the review process of this application. However, it was agreed by the Dade County Planning Department and Building and Zoning Department staff, that the approval of this application did not promote the redevelopment of the site to be used for other than water dependent and/or water related uses, but that it would rather "legalize" some of the other uses that have been taken place on this site historically. IV-91 In conclusion, Objective I has been achieved and should be retained. No further encroachment of incompatible land uses along the County's portion of the Port of Miami River has occurred since December 1988. It is proposed that the monitoring measures used for this analysis should complement the current adopted measure. Policy Relevance All policies under this Objective remain relevant. However, it is proposed that Policies IA and IB should be amended as follows: Policy IA. Delete the date and substitute the phrase "investigate the feasibility" with a directive phrase calling for the establishment of a protective zoning district. The protection of the Port of Miami River from the encroachment of incompatible land uses is and will continue to be of major relevance in furthering the Goal of this Subelement. Land use controls that promote marine industrial and marine commercial activity around and along the River, as well as the Tamiami Canal, are crucial to the economic vitality of the port. The adoption of a zoning district that protects the River from land use encroachment by permitting water dependent and water related uses only, should become a policy, rather than an implementation strategy. According to the City of Miami's 1992 Miami River Master Plan, the establishment of a marine industrial/commercial district along the River in the County portion is critical since this is the only shoreline available for continuation and expansion of marine related industry on the River. Policy 1B. Update the name of the former Florida Department of Environmental Regulation to its current name of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Objective 2 Actions shall be taken to promote marine activity on the Miami River, and to improve linkages between the shipping terminals on the Miami River west of NW 27th Avenue and surface transportation routes and modes. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The following is the adopted monitoring measure for Objective 2: The Miami River Coordinating Committee in conjunction with the Port of Miami River should prepare an annual report on the number of ships, tonnage, types of cargo, and the value of cargo handled. IV-92 95- 830 Despite efforts by both the Muni River Coordinating Committee and the Miami River Marine Group to create and update the data base suggested in the aforementioned monitoring measure, the informality of River businesses has precluded them from doing a thorough and accurate annual report. Given this situation and the fact that this Objective addresses more than what is addressed in the adopted monitoring measure, the following monitoring measure has been prepared in order to complement the adopted one in guiding this Objective's achievement analysis: The Planning Department in conjunction with the Miami River Coordinating Committee and the Miami River Marine Group should prepare anrival transportation improvements updates listing completed, underway, programmed and planned transportation improvements of significance to the Port of Miami River facilities. Objective 2 Achievement Analysis. Regarding the issue of protecting the working nature of the River, Objective 2 could be deemed somewhat redundant with Objective 1. For which reason this analysis deals primarily with the transportation aspect of Objective 2. Since 1988 a series of planning efforts including the Miami River Master Plan and the Metropolitan Planning Organization's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Long Range Plan (LRP) have addressed the transportation issue around the Port of Miami River comprehensively. Table IV-17 shows all completed, under construction, programmed and planned roadway improvement projects deemed to enhance the movement of goods and people to and from the Port of Miami River by providing better connections between the River and the county expressway system. East -west roadway improvements usually provide better connectivity between the port and S.R. 826 and 1-95; while north -south roadway improvements would usually enhance connectivity between the port and S.R. 836 and S.R. 112. In addition, the Miami Intermodal Center MC) and the East-West Multimodal Corridor studies are being conducted by the Florida Department of Transportation as alternatives to the proposed widening of the S.R. 836/Dolphin Expressway, between downtown Miami, Miami International Airport and Florida International University (the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike). The proposed MIC, which is to be located just south of the Port of Miami River facilities in unincorporated Dade County, may be in conflict with marine related/dependent activities along South River Drive. The northern boundary of the proposed MIC study area has been placed on the south side of NW South River Drive, where some of the port support facilities are located and just across the street from the major Port of Miami River facilities. This proposal is generating considerable land speculation in the area; thus threatening the likeliness of port support facilities to locate or remain in this area, and therefore, the viability of the River as a "working" River. In conclusion, Objective 2 has been achieved and remains relevant since actions have and continue to be taken to promote marine activity on the Miami River, and to improve transportation linkages between the Port facilities and the County's expressway system. However, it is proposed that the language of this Objective be revised, by deleting the text dealing with the promotion of marine activity, in order to allow it to focus on the transportation issue of improving IV-93 F transportation linkages. This proposed change also affects Objective 1, by requiring that the text of that Objective be revised to more appropriately address the need to promote marine activity and protect port facilities on the Port of Miami River. Policy Relevance Given the fact that the City of Miami's Miami River Master Plan fulfills most of the language of Policy 2A concerning the preparation of a comprehensive study of the River, it is recommended that the balance of this policy, the transportation related language, be combined with the language of Policy 2B; subsequently, it is proposed that Policy 2A be deleted while Policy 2B should be amended to primarily address surface transportation planning, funding and construction around the Port of Miami River facilities, west of NW 27th Avenue. On the other hand, Policy 2C is proposed to be amended to reflect its transportation character only, thus transferring its economic vitality component to Objective 1 and its policies. The resulting policies should then be renumbered as 2A and 2B respectively. In summary: Policy 2A. Delete Policy 2B. Combine the language of this Policy with the transportation related language of deleted Policy 2A; add a sentence addressing the cooperative effort between the major players; add a phrase requiring that highway planning, funding and construction to ensure good roadway access between the shipping terminals and the County transportation system. Policy 2C. Add the Florida Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Planning Organization to cooperating agencies, update the name of the Miami River Businessman's Association to the Miami River Marine Group, delete the vitality of the River language, and add a sentence addressing the minimization of traffic conflicts by addressing the overall traffic circulation traffic and truck routing in the vicinity of the Port of Miami River. Objective 3 The Port of Miami River shall be operated in a manner which minimizes impacts to estuarine water quality and marine resources and adjacent land uses. CDMP Monitoring Measures. The following is the adopted monitoring measure for Objective 3: IV-94 95- 830 Additional monitoring measure included in the Coastal Management Element regarding water quality and protection of natural resources are adopted by reference. Objective 3 Achievement Analysis 'Through Policy Implementation Analysis. Due to the very broad nature of this Objective and its adopted monitoring measure, an objective achievement analysis via a policy implementation analysis will be performed. This process consists of a brief implementation analysis of each of the Objective's policies which would eventually determine the overall Objective's achievement. This analysis follows: Policy 3A. This Policy, which places a high priority on having the polluted sediments removed from the Miami River, remains relevant and continues to be of major significance. Steps that would hopefully lead to its frill implementation, such as the completion of related/required studies, have and continue to take place. In December 1993, the Corps of Engineers completed a dredging and sediment disposal study for the Port of Miami River. The results from this study were reported in a document entitled "Alternatives for the Dredging and Disposal of Sediment from the Miami Harbor (Miami River) Project, Florida." According to the report, the material now deposited in the Miami River Navigation Channel has deposited there subsequent to dredging the authorized depth into the native rock during the 1930s. The bulk of the deposited material consists of surficial soils eroded and transported from a large watershed area that includes much of Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Much progress in pollution abatement has been achieved in recent years. Storm and sanitary sewer systems have been improved and new construction is regulated. Marine and industrial facilities are inspected and pollution control regulations enforced. Some of the pollutants deposited over the years have decayed or been resuspended and washed away from the river channel by vessels prop wash and river tidal currents. Nevertheless, sediments in the river continue to show elevated metal concentrations during routine testing of sediment samples, thus furthering the need for its dredging and disposal. The removal of river sediments would also allow small ships to more efficiently use the Miami River and would impede harmful sediments from being reintroduced into the river and possibly transported to Biscayne Bay. The eminent need for dredging of the river basin also calls for appropriate handling and disposal of the dredged material. To this end, the Corps' study recommends dredging operations that call for cable suspended bucket or clamshell dredges, and the dumping of the dredgings into an open top barge for transport to a barge unloading site where the materials would be conveyed to a suitable upland repository. Of the three alternative repository sites acknowledged in the study -- Palmer Lake, northern Virginia Key disposal area, and the former Virginia Key landfill site -- the northern Virginia Key site is preferred by the Corps, followed by the, more costly use of vacant land near, Palmer Lake. Both of these sites are highly conflictive. The Virginia Key site is reasonably close to upscale Fisher Island and the Palmer Lake site is being considered for IV-95 7 development related to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). In addition, serious concerns about the side effects of dredging on the water quality of the River have been raised. Implementation of the recommendations of this study continue to be reviewed by the County, as well as by other interested agencies and organizations. No committed funding has yet been allocated. In conclusion, this Policy has not been implemented, it remains relevant and no language changes to the same are recommended. Policy 3B. This Policy, related to the stabilization of all eroding county -owned shoreline areas and rights -of -way along the Miami River, has not been implemented and remains relevant. In addition to county owned land, serious attention should be given to the considerable amount of erosion of commercial and industrial shorelines along the river, west of NW 27th Avenue. In conclusion, this policy has not been implemented. It is proposed that its text be expanded in order to address the need for the development of an ordinance also requiring shoreline stabilization at commercial and industrial sites along the river. Policy 3C. This Policy, dealing with the assurance of containment of stormwater runoff from industrial sites along the River, has been partially implemented and remains relevant. Since 1980, Dade County has been requiring the retention of the first -inch of runoff prior to discharge, and since 1987, the county has been requiring bales/oil and grease interceptors in areas around the river. Although full on -site retention has proven difficult in the subject area, on -site retention of the first -inch of runoff is very significant since it usually contains approximately 90 percent of the pollutants carried in stormwater. Nevertheless and in keeping with the aim of this Policy, the County is now encouraging the use of an on -site retention system combined with an overflow outfall as an alternative to full on -site retention in those cases where full on -site retention is not feasible because of poor exfiltration capacity of the soil or in cases where a higher degree of flood protection is desired. In addition, the county's Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) is currently conducting a "Stormwater Master Plan for Dade County" that will eventually identify areas with significant flood control and non -point source pollution problems and develop effective solutions for addressing these areas. In conclusion, this policy has been successfully implemented but still remains relevant as the issue of stormwater runoff from industrial sites along the river continues to be of significant environmental concern. It is therefore recommended that the language of Policy 3C be amended to include the aforementioned County alternative to full on -site retention. IV-96 F 95-- 830 Policy 31). This Policy, dealing with the elimination of detrimental stormwater outfalls along the Miami Fiver by 2005, has not been fully implemented and remains relevant. The Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) is currently conducting a Stormwater Master Plan for Dade Countv to identify areas with significant flood control and non -point source pollution problems as well as to develop effective solutions for addressing these areas. Eventually, implementation of this policy will begin once the Stormwater Master Plan for the basins in the county section and around county property on the River is completed. Two of these basins, numbers 21 and 23, are currently undergoing engineering studies and have been budgeted for construction for the fiscal year 95-96. In addition, a separate effort has resulted in the retrofitting of basin 53 also on the river. Completion of the Stormwater Master Plan is expected to take place in approximately 5 to 6 years -- year 2000 or 2001. In conclusion, Policy 3D has been partially implemented and it remains relevant as stormwater outfalls removal and refitting along the Miami River continue to be issues of significant environmental concern for Dade County. No text changes are proposed. Policy 3E. This Policy, calling for the posting of endangered species posted warnings, has been implemented and it is not longer relevant for the following reasons: along the river manatees signs are already up, the brown pelican is not longer an endangered species, future signage would be required by pending state legislature. In conclusion, it is proposed that Policy 3E be deleted. Policy 3F. Additional policies included in the Coastal Management Element regarding dockside pumpout facilities, bulkhead repair and construction and enforcement activities along the Miami River are hereby incorporated in this Subelement by reference. Policy 3F Implementation Analysis: This Policy, incorporating additional policies included in the Coastal Management Element regarding dockside pumpout facilities, bulkhead repair and construction and enforcement activities along the Miami River, has been successfully implemented and because of its general nature and broad scope it remains relevant. In conclusion, Objective 3 has been partially achieved and it still remains relevant since steps have and continue to be taken toward the minimization of negative impacts to estuarine water quality, marine resources and adjacent land uses. Completion of the County's Stormwater Master Plan will guide any mitigation efforts in the area of runoff from adjacent industrial land uses via the removal of detrimental stormwater outfalls identified in this plan, as well as by stricter on -site retention requirements. No text changes are proposed. IV-97 T. Policy Relevance As noted in the previous section, all policies under this Objective remain relevant with the exception of Policy 31E which deletion is proposed. On the other hand, text changes are proposed for Policies 3B and 3C. These changes deal primarily with the addition of further measures that will eventually lead to the establislunent of a more comprehensive "environmental management system" for the minimization of adverse impacts on the river. The following is a summary of the proposed changes: Policy 3B. The text of this Policy should be expanded in order to address the need for the development of an ordinance also requiring shoreline stabilization at commercial and industrial sites along the river. Policy 3C. The text of this Policy should be expanded in order to provide for County's alternative to full on -site retention. Policy 3E. This Policy is proposed for deletion. i i IV-98 95- 830 NEW ISSUES AND UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 5., F.A.C. requires the EAR to identify, describe and evaluate how new issues, problems and opportunities have affected the plan elements/subelements since adoption. Described below are all issues, problems, and opportunities that have impacted the Port of Miami River Subelement since 1988, including, where relevant, data and analysis. In some instances, data and analysis pertinent to new issues, problems or opportunities may be referenced from other sections of this Subelement evaluation. Needed actions or proposals addressing issues, and problems or opportunities are identified. New Issue - The Proposed Manatee Protection Plan. The potential impact of this proposed Plan on the Port of Miami River activities has emerged as a major significant issue. As perceived by the shipping community some of the proposed requirements and mandates may adversely impact the future of shipping terminals along the Nfiami River. Objectives I and 3 and their respective policies continue to promote an environmentally safe working River. New Issue - Proposed Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). The proximity of the proposed Miami Intermodal Center to the Port of Miami River facilities along NW South River Drive, west of NW 27th Avenue, has also emerged as a major significant issue. Thus far, this proposal is generating considerable land speculation in the area; thus threatening the likeliness of port support facilities to locate or remain in this area, and therefore, the viability of the River as a "working" River. Objective I and its policies are intended to protect the Port of Miami River from further intrusion. Unanticipated problem - Proposed Dredging of the Miami River. The proposed dredging of the navigable portion of the River channel and the potential impact of this proposed activity on the quality of the River's water as well as the degree of contamination of the River's bottom sediments have emerged as competing interest which along with the lack of funding stand in the way of this project. Objective 3 and its Policy 3A continue to support an environmentally safe dredging of the River channel. Unanticipated and unforeseen problems - 1992's Hurricane Andrew and 1994's Haitian Embargo. These unanticipated and unforeseen problems revealed the high degree of susceptibility that River businesses have to nature events and human actions of this magnitude. IV-99 MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, LOCATION OF LAND USES AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED This section of the EAR examines major problems in the County related to development, physical deterioration, and the location of land uses and their social and economic effects, as required by Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4., F.A.C. The Rule identifies fifteen specific iiems (Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4.a.-o., F.A.C.) to be addressed as part of the evaluation of each element/subelement. Not all of the items listed, however, arP relevant to individual plan elements/subelements. Therefore, only those items which would affect a particular element are addressed. With respect to the Port of Miami River Subelement, three of the fifteen items are relevant. These items are listed as follows: e. Coordinating with the provision of public facilities and services. No major problems have been identified. h. Physical deterioration of public buildings, utilities, infrastructure, recreation facilities, and parks, and the need for replacement. Outfalls removal and refitting along the Miami River are already taking place -- e.g. basin 53. The ongoing Stormwater Master Plan will continue to identify significant flood control and non -point source pollution problem as well as to develop effective solution for addressing these areas along the River. i. Physical deterioration of buildings and structures in the commercial, and industrial land use category. As suggested in the analysis of Policy 3B, serious attention should be devoted to the amount of erosion of commercial and industrial shoreline along the River. o. Social and economic effects of the major problems previously identified by providing a description of the effects. No major problems have been identified. IV-100 CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS This section of the Port of Miami River Subelement evaluation presents a summary of general conclusions and identifies needed actions and/or proposed plan amendments to address or implement identified changes as discussed in other sections of this report. Proposed revisions may include the identification of new and revised goals, objectives and policies, revised future condition maps, capital improvement schedules and monitoring and evaluation procedures. While actual proposed amendment language is not included, the general nature or types of changes are clearly described. All proposed revisions presented here have been carefully linked to the evaluation of current conditions within the County, objective achievement, issues, problems and opportunities and other sections of this Subelement report. Plan amendments resulting from the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) of all transportation related Subelements/Elements will be used to develop the required Transportation Element. The required schedule for transmittal and adoption of EAR - based amendments in Subsection 9J-5.0053 (3) b. and (6) (a) 8.b., F.A.C. is described in the introduction to the Land Use Element Evaluation and Appraisal Report. Conclusions and Proposed Revisions.to Port of Miami River Subelement Objectives and Policies Objective 1. This Objective has been achieved and remains relevant. However, it is proposed that the language of this Objective be revised to more appropriately address the need to promote marine activity and protect port facilities on the Port of Miami River. All policies under this Objective remain relevant. However, it is proposed that Policies lA and 113 should be updated as follows: Policy IA. Delete the date and substitute the phrase "investigate the feasibility" with a directive phrase calling for the establishment of a protective zoning district. Policy 1B. Update the name of the former Florida Department of Environmental Regulation to its current name of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Objective 2. This Objective has been achieved and remains relevant. However, it is proposed that the language of this Objective be revised, by deleting the text dealing with the promotion of marine activity, in order to focus it on the issue of improving transportation linkages. All policies under this Objective, with the exception of Policy 2A, remain relevant. Policy 2A has been implemented for which reason its deletion is proposed. On the other hand, it is proposed that Policies 2A and 2B should be updated as follows: IV-101 Policy 2B. Combine the language of this Policy with the transportation related language of deleted Policy 2A.; add a sentence addressing the cooperative effort between the major players; add a phrase requiring that highway planning, funding and construction to ensure good roadway access between the shipping terminals and the County transportation system. Policy 2C. Add the Florida Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Planning Organization to cooperating agencies, update the name of the Miami River Businessman's Association to the Mammi River Marine Group, delete the %itality of the River language, and add a sentence addressing the minimization of traffic conflicts by addressing the overall traffic circulation traffic and truck routing in the vicinity of the Port of Miami River. Objective 3. In conclusion Objective 3 has been partially achieved and it still remains relevant in its adopted language. All policies under this Objective remain relevant with the exception of Policy 3E which deletion is proposed. On the other hand, text changes are proposed for Policies 3B and 3C as follows: Policy 3B. The text of this Policy should be expanded in order to address the need for the development of an ordinance also requiring shoreline stabilization at commercial and industrial sites along the River. Policy 3C. The text of this Policy should be expanded in order to provide for County's alternative to full on -site retention. Policy 3E. This Policy should be deleted. Proposed Revisions to the Monitoring Program The Monitoring Program of the Aviation Facilities Subelement does not properly identify all potential measures to monitor the achievement of the Subelement's objectives. Therefore, it is proposed that this Monitoring Program be revised as follows: Objective 1 Monitoring Measures. It is proposed that the following monitoring measures 2 and 3 be added to the adopted one as follows: 1. Indices showing the growth or shrinkage of the amount of river frontage devoted to marine related/dependent business activity shall be prepared biennially. IV-102 2. Records of land use changes in the vicinity of the Miami River in unincorporated Dade County since 1988, 3. Records of zoning changes in the vicinity of the Miami River in unincorporated Dade County since 1988. Objective 2 Monitoring Measures. The following update of the adopted monitoring measure is proposed: The Planning Department in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Mianu River Coordinating Committee and the Miami River Marine Group should prepare annual transportation improvements updates listing completed, underway, programmed and planned transportation improvements of significant repercussion to the Port of Miami River facilities. Objective 3 Monitoring Measures. The following update of the adopted monitoring measure is proposed: The County's Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) shall prepare annual progress reports on shoreline stabilization, stormwater runoff, outfall removaUrefitting and overall water quality along the navigable portion of the Miami River. Other Proposed Changes The following are summaries of all other proposed changes. Figures.

Components of the housing element include: • Condition of the element at the time of adoption. • Condition of the element at the date of EAR. • Comparison of objective with actual results. • Major problems of development, physical deterioration, location of land uses, and the social and economic effects of identified problems. • Unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities. • Consistency with current statutory and rule requirements. • Conclusions and proposed revisions. Existing Conditions and Trends Based upon 1990 U.S. Census data and Housing Affordability Strategies previously submitted to U.S. HUD, it is quite apparent that the housing assistance needs of the City of Miami are quire extensive. Miami ranks 4th in the U.S. Poverty Ranking for Cities with populations over 100,000. Within the City of Miami, nearly 65% of its households, are Very Low and/or Other Low income households with annual incomes less than or equal to 80% median family income and are heavily cost burdened. In terms of unit affordability, in 1990 there were 34,674 rental units and 4,994 owner units, a total of 39,668 units affordable for 59,602 very low income households. A deficit of 19,934 housing units for very low income households existed even before the occurrence of Hurricane Andrew. Due to the lack of a recent housing survey depicting unit conditions it is assumed that the physical deterioration of the housing stock is due primarily to negligence. The major problem of development the City of Miami faces is that the residential areas of Miami, generally are older and more densely developed than ckN_ IQIqn those of Dade County. These characteristics reflect the central urban role of Miami in the County. Because the City is well established, there are few extensive tracts readily available for new housing. Thus development is limited to the assemblage of small lots and the infix of' new units where space is available. Adequate affordable housing is particularly needed for very low, low and moderate income groups within a reasonable commute of employment centers and public transportation. The most significant developments during the evaluation and appraisal period include the following: Building Codes Miami's post -hurricane housing market has begun to feel the effects of a tougher South Florida Building Code adopted June 1, 1993, by Metropolitan Dade County in response to the extensive damage caused to residential structure by Hurricane Andrew. Building Moratorium A building moratorium was imposed in Central Dade County (including the City of Miami) due to the near collapse of an antiquated sewer system. It is not yet certain what effect this moratorium has had on the development of new construction projects. Dade County Food and Beverage Tax Metropolitan Dade County levied a 1% tax on food and beverages sold in establishments exceeding $400,000 in gross revenues. One percent of this tax is earmarked for the use of homeless programs and services. This effort provides the first locally dedicated source of revenues to assist the homeless population. Achievement of Objectives A comparison of the housing elements adopted objectives with actual results found most objectives achieved. 8/23/95 Page- V- 3 95- 830 Objective HO- 1.1: Provide a local regulatory investment, and neighborhood environment that will assist the private sector in increasing the stock of affordable housing within the City at least 10 percent by 1994 and 20 percent by the year 1999. This objective was partially achieved primarily due to local and other constraints. The following objectives were achieved: Objective HO -1.2: Conserved the present stock of low and moderate income housing within the City and reduced the number of' substandard units through rehabilitation, reduced the number of unsafe structures through demolition, and insured the preservation of historically significant housing through identification and designation. Objective I40 - 1.3: Facilitated the private and public sector provision of housing in non - isolated residential areas for community based residential and foster care facilities (including those funded by the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services) Objective HO -1.4: Participated in a regional effort to provide adequate shelter for the homeless. Objective HO -1.5: Provide for assistance to displaced occupants where public redevelopment programs require relocation. Over the past 6 no public redevelopment took place displacing occupants. The following objective is recommended for elimination. Objective HO -1.6: Allow for replacement of Mobile homes on a one -for -one basis. Metro Dade County makes decisions regarding replacement. Objective HO -2.1: Achieving a livable downtown with a variety of urban housing types for persons of all income levels (i.e.,Arena Towers, Biscayne View Apts.). Current Issues At this point, the City of Miami is experiencing a substantial increase in demand which has clearly outpaced the available supply of housing units, therefore, creating a very tight housing market with few vacancies and relatively high rents. The housing element places emphasis on the "housing delivery system" which includes all of the parts of a community's structure that affect the supply of housing in a community. These parts include residents, developers/development corporations, local government, financial institutions, etc. 35_ R30 8/23/95 Page- V- 4 Decent, affordable housing is essential to creating livable neighborhoods and supporting families. Other issues are identified in the element in the section entitled New Issues and unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities. Recommendations The housing element has essentially been implemented during the evaluation period. There are some proposed revisions of goals, objectives and policies needed to strengthen areas and to include changes in working. Much of the previous material should be retained. After reviewing and assessing the housing elements seven objectives, it is recommended that six be retained. Housing objective 1.6 Allow for replacement of mobile homes on a one -for- one basis should be eliminated. The two housing goals should be retained. Goal HO-1 should be reworded to include very low income households. There are 43 policy statements, 3 of which should be deleted and placed in a section called definitions. The following policies have been recommended for elimination: Policy HO-1.3.3: The City will direct its state lobbyist to seek legislative support for implementing the recommendations contained in the Annual Report of the Committee of Housing for the Elderly (December 1987).. Policy HO-1.3.4: The City will support in the development of community -based residential facilities, foster care facilities, and ACLF's for low and moderate -income residents through its existing housing programs. Policy HO-1.4.2: The City will direct its state lobbyist to seek legislative support for the state to continue implementing the recommendations of the State Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services Sponsored Report Final Report, Florida's Homeless: A plan for action (Statewide Task Force on the Homeless, .Tune, 1995) Policy HO-1.6..1: The City's land development regulations will continue to allow for the replacement of mobile homes on existing sites on a one -for -one basis. A new policy should be added to reflect fair share distribution of homeless shelters in the region. All remaining policies should be strengthened and retained. 8/23/95 Page- V- 5 � - 8311 CONDITIONS OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION 1. Housing Data HOUSING DATA SUMMARY A. The inventory of the number of housing units. The 1983 Annual Housing survey indicated 152,400 total housing units. B. A comparison to housing characteristics in the county. Recent trends indicate that residential densities within the City continue to be significantly greater than those found in other parts of the county. Attached single family structures represented the fastest growing segment of the housing stock, while the proportion of units in strictures with two to four units fell sharply. The proportion of overcrowded units seemed to be rising as well. The quality or condition of the typical residential unit may be decreasing also, as conversions, "add-ons" and units that had previously been removed from service continue to represent a large proportion of the gross number of units added to the housing stock each year. It is also disturbing to note that housing costs as a proportion of family income have been growing dramatically for the typical City resident, with renters being especially affected by the loss of affordable housing. Survey information from 1983 also indicates that in several respects neighborhood conditions and services are perceived as seriously deficient. Black residents, moreover, have a higher tendency to be dissatisfied with neighborhood conditions and services than other racial/ethnic groups. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON The distribution of the type of dwelling units which exist in the City provides an indication of residential densities that primarily characterize Miami's neighborhoods. Census data from 1983 illustrate that the City's residential units were almost evenly divided between single family structures (71,100 units) and Multi -family structures (80,200 units). This represented a measurable difference from the 1979 survey estimates 9 8/23/95 Adger V- 6 that showed approximately 40 percent of all residential units in single family structures. Single family structures may be either detached or attached (e.g., townhouses), and there are significant areas within the City where two single family structures may be found on one average size, residential lot. Attached single family structures, moreover, represented the fastest growing component of the lim sing stock during the 1979-1983 period, and this trend is likely to leave continued since. then. This data illustrates, the City's population is housed in neighborhoods that may be characterized as primarily low -to -moderate density. The distribution of the housing stock in the City differs significantly from that found in the remainder of the county. In 1983. 34 percent of the City's housing stock consisted of detached single family structures, while this group of structures accounted for 45 percent of housing units in the remainder of Dade County. Attached single family structures and Multi -family structures represent a smaller proportion of the remainder of the County's housing stock than that found within the City of Miami. HOUSING ANALYSIS SUMMARY C. The inventory of standard and substandard housing conditions. An indication of the extent of substandard housing is provided by the number of overcrowded housing units, structures lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, and the number of units built a considerable number of years earlier. Survey data from 1983 shows that a significant number of residential units were inhabited by more than one person per room, and hence, may be classified as overcrowded units.l By this definition, nearly 16,000 units, or almost 12 percent of the year-round housing stock, were overcrowded in the City of Miami. This number was nearly twice as large as that found in 1979, and most likely reflects an increase in the number of new immigrants living within the City. The percentage of overcrowded units was much lower in the remainder of Dade County in 1983 (5 percent) than in the City. For both the City and the remainder of Dade County, the incidence of overcrowding was much higher in renter occupied than in owner occupied units. Only a relatively small percentage of the City's housing units, however, lacked complete plumbing or kitchen facilities, but a considerable fraction (19.4%) did lack air conditioning. 8/23/95 page- V- 7 95- 830 Selected Indicators of Housing Conditions.

Subsidized Housing The residents of the City of Miami and Dade County have a number of Federal and State programs, as well as local programs that provide housing assistance to both the elderly and families. These programs include "Section 8" subsidies based upon the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (Revised 1978), "Section 23" subsidies for public housing that emanate from the federal "Housing Act of 1965", and rental housing program subsidies. Publicly supported housing units within the City of Miami's boundaries are identified in Tables A-E and, which also indicates the number of residential units in each facility, the type of facility (for families or elderly), and identifies the subsidy program. This information was obtained from Metropolitan Dade County, Department of Housing and Urban Development. Most of the subsidized housing within the City of Miami is located in the central and northern parts of the City. As of August 1987, there were 7,560 subsidized housing units, of which 1,074 units were in scattered locations and 6,432 units were located in 21 distinct sites within the city. Just over one-half of these units were operated for elderly residents, with the remainder serving families. Only in three locations were both elderly and families provided publicly subsidized housing, within the same facility. Ninety percent of all subsidized residential units were supported through the rental housing subsidy program, while five percent of the subsidized units were supported by Section 23 funds and the remaining five percent were supported through Section 8. Table A provides a list of federally and state subsidized housing, and identifies the type of housing and the type of Section 8 subsidy. There are 1,101 federally subsidized residential units within the city, and 44 percent of these units are designated to serve elderly residents. The remaining 56 percent of these units are oriented toward family housing. There are 300 state subsidized units, with all of these units designed to provide family housing. Both federal and state subsidized housing facilities are scattered throughout the City, although the bulk of the units tend to be concentrated in the central and northeni parts of the City. 8/23/95 Page- V- 9 95- 8300 Table A Suhsidized Housing: Public Housing Units Name Units Type Subsidy Abe Aronovitz 55 1: RIIP Allapattah 74 1' IZHP Annie Coleman Gardens 669 I RHP Claude Pepper "lowers 166 1: RI II' Coconut Grove 56 P RIIP Coconut Grove Family 24 F SFC.8 Culmer Gardens 75 f SL'C.8 Culmer Place 151 1' �I: [oil, _ Dante Face)) 151 _ R11P Donn Gardens 64 E RHP Edison Courts 345 1: IZI1P Edison Park* 80 E RI11' Emmer 42 E RI1P Falk 48 E fZI 11) GeorgeSmathers Plaza 182 E _ IZH1' Gibson Plaza 65 E SEC.8 Green Turnkev 21 F RHP Gwen Cherry Gardens* 99 E RHP Haley Sofge Towers 475 E RHP Ham Cain Tower 154 E RHP Highland Park 104 E RHP JoeMoretti Apartments 286 E RHP Jose Marti Plaza 55 E RHP Lemon City Apartments 100 E RHP Liberty Square 924 F RHP Little Havana 1 75 E SEC.8 Martin Fine Villa 50 E RHP Medwin Apartments 18 E RHP Model City 56 F RHP Muss Isle 230 E RHP Newberg 60 E RHP Orr Plaza 200 E RI4P Parkside 56 E RHP Peters Plaza 102 E R14P Phyllis Wheatley 40 E RHP Rainbow Village 100 F RHP Riverside 75 E SEC.8 RKH Towers 315 E RHP Round Towers 391 E SEC.23 Singer Plaza 100 F SEC.8 Stirrup Plaza* 100 E RHP Townpark 38 F RHP Townpark Village 145 F RHP Victory Homes 166 F RHP Virrick Village 1 28 E RHP Virrick Village 11 56 E RHP [Wynwood] 40 F SEC.8 Wynwood Elderly 72 E RHP [Wynwood and Little Havana l 80 F RHP 8/23/95 Notes: (*) indicates facilities that serve elderly and families E = Units providing elderly housing F = Units providing family housing RHP = Rental housing program subsidy units within [ ] are located in scattered sites Metropolitan Dade County, Department of Housing and Urban Development, August 1987.

The inventory of historically significant housing According to the inventory of historically significant housing as of 1973, approximately 20 percent of the housing stock was less than 14 years old, while 62 percent of the stock had been built prior to 1959. To date, 37 historic sites and three historic districts have been designated by the City Commission. Twenty-nine additional historic sites and three historic districts have been identified in the Downtown Miami Development of Regional Impact (DRI) and have been recommended for designation by the Heritage Conservation Board for historic district boundaries and historically significant properties meriting protection (see attachment). 8/23/95 Page- V- 15 95- 830 H. The inventory of recent housing construction activity Since the late 1960's most of the new residential units built within Dade County have been constructed outside the City of Miami's boundaries, with a large share being constructed in unincorporated parts of the county. The housing survey data indicates that 7,600 units were added to the City of Miami's year-round housing stock and 100 units were added to the seasonal and migratory housing stock between 1979 and 1983. During that period 6,900 units were added through new construction, but 10,100 units were removed from the housing stock and, hence, 10,900 housing units were created via conversions, construction "add -on" to existing structures, and the return of units previously removed from the housing stock. This statistic is disturbing in that it suggests that the general quality of the housing stock, including features such as the square footage and amenities found in the typical unit, may very well be deteriorating when such a large percentage of the additions to the stock did not occur through new construction. In contrast to Miami's experience, a relatively large fraction (86 percent) of the gross increase in the remainder of the County's housing stock occurred through new construction. Estimates of changes in the housing stock since 1983 can be made utilizing building permit and certificate of occupancy statistics. During the period from April 1983 through December 1986, building permit records suggest that 2,760 residential units were completed. Using the same annual rate of removals from the housing stock witnessed during 1979 housing stock, one may estimate that approximately 7,000 units were removed during the April 1983 to December 1986 period. The additions to the housing stock resulting from conversions and rehabilitations are most difficult to assess. Given a population decline of approximately 11,300 persons during the 1983- 1986 period and assuming an average household size of 2.5 persons, one may estimate that the total housing stock has decreased by 4,520 units (up through December 1986). Hence, the implied number of unspecified reductions to the housing stock during the 1983-1986 period is 280 units. New Construction is carried out primarily by the private sector.

City of Miami Total Increase 1995 380,000 1990 387,000 7,000 1995 390,800 3,000 2000 400,000 10,000 Sources: City of Miami Planning Department Research Division, MetroDade County Planning Department University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research Household Estimates, 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2000. City of Miami (hounded) Total Increase 1985 151,000 - 1990 151,000 - 1995 155,800 4,000 2000 1 163,000 1 8,000 Sources: City of Miami Planning Department B. The housing needs of the anticipated population 8/23/95 Page- V- 17 95- 8300 To identify the total number of housing units required in the future, the population estimates are divided by the average household size. The size is estimated to be 2.51 (rounded) in 1985, increasing to 2.54 (rounded) in 1990, to reflect the increase in immigration and then declining to 2.45 (rounded) in 2000. The resulting total households in 1985 and 1990 through 2000 are shown above. As shown above, it is anticipated that the demand for housing will remain stable through 1990 and then increase for 2000. The different levels of change between population growth and the formation of new households, reflect the variation in household size which is expected to occur over each of the five year periods. Between 1985 and 1990, there is no significant change in the total number of households because the average household size is larger than in 1985. With no significant iincrease in the number of new households, it is anticipated that the increase in the supply of new or rehabilitated housing will replace substandard units that will be demolished. To take into account factors for vacancy and the loss of existing units, the totals for new housing units required have been adjusted. Based on the Annual Housing Survey, a vacancy factor of 10 percent (rounded) is assumed for the study period. This vacancy factor is applied to the total new housing units estimated over the study period. Therefore, an additional 400 units are required over the 1990-1995 period and 800 over 1995-2000, to take into account a 10 percent vacancy rate. In addition, consideration is given to the replacement of the aging housing stock. It should be noted that 21 percent of the housing units in the City were built before 1940. Based on the removal of 18,100 units over the seven year period 1979 through 1986, an average change over a five year period is estimated to be 5 percent (8,000/152,400 units in 1983). This adjustment rate is applied to the base year for each five year interval. The base amounts and the adjusted number of units are as follows: Base Year Total Units Total Units to be Replaced 1990 151,000 7,550 1995 155,000 7,790 Therefore, 7,550 units are added to the 1990-1995 period and 7,790 units in the 1995- 2000 period. This adjustment reflects the nature of the City's well established residential communities. 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- V- 18 Unlike many communities in Florida, the City of Miami's priority is not on the provision of new housing units to meet future housing needs. Rather, it is on the replacement of existing units which is a critical factor in the supply of housing in the City's market area. Therefore the total new housing units required through 2000 are as follows: 1990-95 95-2000 TOTAL Base estimate 4,000 8,000 12,000 Plus:Vacancy Factor 400 goo 1,200 Replacement Units 7 500 7.790 1_ 5 340 TOTAL REQUIRED 11,950 16,590 28,540 Rounded 12,000 1 16,600 28,600 As indicated above, a total of 28,600 units are required through 2000, or 1,903 per year from 1985. This total is a gross estimate and includes the consideration of vacancies and the replacement of units that are demolished. The entire increase is 12,000 units, reflecting the increase in population. The distribution of the new units by income levels is shown below. Housing need by tenure, owner or renter, has been estimated by assuming that the distribution of household units by tenure, as indicated in the Annual Housing Survey conducted in 1983 continues with little variation. The mix in 1983 was 35.6 percent owner and 64.4 percent renter -occupied. These estimates are applied to the estimated housing units required between 1990 and 2000. Therefore, there will be a need for an additional 4,272 owner -occupied units and 7,728 rental units, based on the estimated increase in households over the 1990 and 1995 period. An estimated 2,527 owner -occupied units and 4,573 rental units must be provided to accommodate new households having very low to low incomes. Thus, 7,100 units or 1,420 units annually between 1990 and 1995 must be provided. New Housing Units Required, 1990-1995, and 1995-2000.

The land requirements for the total estimated housing needs. The City of Miami is fully developed, there are few extensive tracts readily available for new housing. Thus, development is limited to the assemblage of small lots and the in -fill of new units where space is available. Because the City is essentially developed, the additional units are expected to be developed on tracts that are assembled, such as the Florida East Coast Railroad yards, a tract of 60 acres which is underutilized. Alternative sites include the in -fill of small scattered lots where single-family units or substandard structures are demolished and replaced with new, higher density projects. D. The portion of the housing needs projected to be met by the private sector. Bank consortium arrangements are increasing the participation of the private sector in providing affordable housing and stabilizing neighborhoods. Low interest loans are 95- 830 8/23/95 Page- V- 20 increasingly available in target communities and to community based organizations which are responsible for the provision of housing. Rehabilitation is the major approach that the City relies upon in providing housing. The rehabilitation of substandard housing stock is conducted through joint public -private efforts. Community Development Corporations efforts to leverage public funds and to increase private investments in neighborhoods are receiving national attention. E. The private sector housing delivery process and the problems it faces. Housing deterioration has been and continues to be a major problem within the City due to the reluctance of property owners and landlords to invest in the maintenance of older structures, as well as the inability of many of the City's older residents, living on fixed - incomes, to afford expensive repairs on their homes. Additionally, private sector developers and local financial institutions have displayed a tendency to forego investing in several of the City's low Income neighborhoods without some form of public investment and/or assistance that reduces their financial exposure. Miami has several innovative housing programs administered by its own Housing Conservation and Development Agency, as well as coordinated by nonprofit groups. Programs with which the City has been involved to encourage private lender/investor participation include: Density/Zoning bonuses are considered if a developer contributes to an escrow account (The Housing Trust Fund) or constructs or sets aside an agreed upon number of affordable housing units. The Community Development Block Grant Multi -family Rehabilitation Loan Program is designed to provide funds to owners of Multi -family rental housing to finance improvements to their properties. The program requires that the units be occupied principally by lower income families and further provides these families with section 8 rent vouchers. An investor/owner may receive a loan to bring a rental, single-family dwelling to standard and correct living conditions, provided more than 50 percent of the tenants of the property have a gross income of less than 50 percent of median income. Owners cannot project an annual return on investment which exceeds 20 percent, based on an occupancy rate of 95 percent for the first year after rehabilitation. F. How the community will provide housing with infrastructure; eliminate substandard housing conditions; provide sites for low and moderate housing, mobile homes, group 8/23/95 Page- V- 21 95` 8a)0 homes and foster care facilities, and the identification of conservation, rehabilitation and demolition activities, and historically significant housing or neighborhoods. The City monitors Infrastructure and services which must be maintained at adequate levels of service in order to support housing programs. Efforts will continue to strengthen sections in the zoning ordinance in order to enhance the general appearance and character of the City's neighborhoods. The City has established programs to conserve its existing housing stock and promote residential redevelopment. Efforts to target scarce resources in order to rnaintain stable neighborhoods will continue to be a priority. Particular emphasis is placed on the eight Community Development Target Areas and the promotion of citizen participation. To address the availability of affordable housing. the City emphasizes the conservation of its existing housing stock. Particular concern is focused on monitoring the supply of low- income units. The provision of quality, affordable housing is being attained through code enforcement programs and programs that upgrade the existing supply. These efforts are being strengthened in order to prevent a net loss of low-income units. 'The City continues to work with the County and the State toward the adoption of increased governmental financing for low and moderate income housing and to coordinate the implementation of current programs. The City's policy with respect to mobile homes is that all existing sites are permissible and that mobile homes on these existing sites may be replaced on a one for one basis. The City's land development regulations, specifically its zoning ordinance, provides for the development of group homes and foster care facilities throughout the City. The Ordinance allows development of group homes in residential areas of the City and has requirements that prohibit the concentration of these facilities in any one area of the City and assure their geographical disposal. Rehabilitation efforts is the major approach that the City relies upon in providing housing. The rehabilitation of substandard housing stock is conducted through joint public -private efforts. Financial assistance is available to owners of multi -family structures in Community Development Target Areas, so that they can bring their properties up to code or HUD defined property rehabilitation standards. Single Family Rehabilitation Program provides grants and loans to eligible families who want to bring their home up to a decent, safe and sanitary housing standard. When rehabilitation cannot be feasibly carried out, unsafe structures are demolished and the land is "banked" or set aside for potential assemblage and/or sale. 8/23/95 95- 831-1 Page- V- 22 In 1982, the City of Miami adopted a Heritage Conservation (HC) Ordinance to encourage the preservation of Miami's historic resources. The Ordinance provides an orderly and equitable way to balance and defend both private property rights and community rights to protect its architectural and cultural heritage. The IIC Ordinance seeks to encourage the preservation of historic buildings and neighborhoods by providing assistance, guidance, and incentives to property owners. Tile ordinance is also designed to prevent Unnecessary alterations or destniction of these properties whenever an CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF REPORT HOUSING DATA 1990 SUMMARY A.

A comparison to housing characteristics in the county 1990 Census data indicates that the City of Miami's total year-round housing stock decreased by 1,212 units from 145,762 to 144, 550 between 1980 and 1990. The 1990 Census indicated that of the City of Miami's 130,252 total occupied units, 43,096 were owner occupied units while 87,156 were renter occupied. Total vacant units consisted of 14,298. In the month of August 1992, Hurricane Andrew totally devastated the southern portion of Dade County. Many of the City's neighborhoods were adversely affected by the impact of Hurricane Andrew. It is not known to have totally destroyed or effectively removed any units from Miami's housing stock. The number of vacant rental and for sale units indicated in the 1990 Census changed dramatically during Post Hurricane Andrew. The 1990 Census revealed that for all occupied units 67% were renter occupied while the remaining one-third was owner occupied. As for vacant units 55% were available for rent, while 10 percent were available for sale. According to a survey of Dade County conducted by Reinhold P. Wolf, Economic Research, Inc., Fort Lauderdale, Florida in May of 1993, the vacancy rate for rental apartments in Dade County was 1.4% overall, Hurricane Andrew increased housing costs and reduced vacancies in both the rental and ownership markets. Table A also indicates the age of the housing stock in the City of Miami and Dade County. Eighty-eight percent of the City's housing stock was built since 1970, while forty nine percent of the County's units have been built since 1970. The distribution of the housing stock in the City differs from that found in the remainder of the County. According to the 1990 census, 30 percent of the City's housing stock consisted of detached single family structures, while this group of structures accounted for 40 percent of total housing units in the County. Multi -family structures consisted of 57 percent of the City's housing with 5 or more units comprising 43 percent. 8/23/95 Page- V- 25 95- 830 City of Miami _ Dade County Total Housing Units 144,550 771.288 One -Unit Detached 42,934 311,519 One -Unit ,Attached 15,162 74,453 Multi -family Structures _ 82,633 _ 356,042 percent of total 57.2 46.1 24 units 20,025 _ 51,387 percent of total 13.8 _ 6.7 5 or more units 62,608 304,655 percent of total 43.3 39.5 Mobile Home/Trailer 1,309 18,543 other 2,512 10,731 Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing 1990 Population Growth Miami Dade County 1980 346,865 1,625,781 1985 380,446 1,770,769 1990 358,548 1,937,094 1995 366,665 2,056,625 2000 (Projection) 374,782 2,291,452 2005 (Projection) 385,955 2,530,515 Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census 1980, 1990 and Metro Dade Planning Department Research Division, 1995.

Housing Values and Costs According to the 1990 Census information housing costs are lower in terms of absolute dollar value in the City of Miami than in the rest of the County. The median home value was the lowest in Dade County. Rental rates were significantly lower as well. C. Inventory of standard and substandard housing condition In discussing the condition of Miami's housing stock, it is first necessary to define the terms substandard and substandard but suitable for rehabilitation. 8/23/95 Page- V- 27 95- 830 Substandard is defined by the City of Miami as any existing dwelling unit which currently has one (1) or more Housing Quality Standards (I-IQS) and/or Dade County Minimum Housing Code Violations. Substandard but suitable for rehabilitation is defined by the City of Miami as any dwelling unit which is found to be substandard and is in such condition as to be both structurally and financially feasible for rehabilitation as defined by the City's Single and Multi -family Housing Rehabilitation Programs. The 1990 Census provides indication of the extent to substandard housing by the number of structures lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities. Due to the lack of recent and/or updated local housing surveys depicting unit conditions, it is necessary to use existing data to provide a current estimate of the condition of the liousing stock and the percentage of units which are substandard and the percentage of units which are suitable for rehabilitation. A comparison of the current housing stock inventory figures from the U.S. Databook 1990 Census with those used in the 199]/CI-IAS Plan (1988-1991 Housing Assistance Plan), revealed only minor change to Miami's total housing inventory. Inventory figures from the 1992, (CHAS) Consolidated Housing Affordability Strategy specify the number of total year-round housing units as 139,898 while the. U.S. HUD CHAS Databook figures specified a total of 144,550 year-round housing units. This increase of 4,652 units or 3% is particularly offset by the fact that in the U.S. HUD CHAS Databook figures, more than 5,000 vacant units are classified as "other" which places them off the market at least temporarily. A comparison of other key indicators revealed a similar pattern of insignificant differences: Housing Stock U.S. HUD CHAS Databook 1992 CHAS PLAN Difference Total Inventory 144,550 139,898 4,652 or 3% Total Rental Units 1 94,951 93,303 1 1,948 or 2% Total Owner Units 1 44,593_1 46,895 1 2,303 or 5% The 1992 CHAS Plan data was then analyzed to determine the following indicators 1. The number and percentage of all substandard rental units 22,752 or 24% of all rental stock. 2. The number of percentage of all substandard owner units 6,743 or 14% of all owner stock. 3. The number and percentage of all standard rental units suitable for rehabilitation 9,654 or 42% of the substandard rental stock. 95- 830 4. The number and percentage of all substandard owner units suitable rehabilitation 2,932 or 43% of the substandard owner stock. Assuming that these percentages remained constant, they were then applied to the U.S. 1990 Census figures to yield data regarding Substandard Units: 1. 24% or 22,788 of all renter units are substandard 2. 42% or 9,571 of all substandard renter units are suitable for rehabilitation. 3. 14% or 6,243 of all owner wits are substandard 4. 43% or 2,684 of all substandard owner units are suitable rehabilitation 5. A total of 20% of Miami's housing stock is substandard D. Renter Occupied Housing Of the 87,156 renter occupied units identified by the 1990 census, 34,674 units were affordable to very low income households (i.e., 0-50% median family income). Thirty- seven percent or 12,949 units were priced to be affordable to the lowest segment of the population or households with incomes less than or equal to 30% of the median income. A total of 83% or 79,024 rental units were priced to be affordable to households with incomes less than or equal to 80% of the median income. According to 1990 Census data, Miami has a total of 86,424 renter households. Of these total renter households, 31,890 or 36.9% are in the 0-30% income category, 16, 939 or 19.6% are in the 31-50% income category and 17,285 or 20% are in the 51-80% income category. Thirty percent of Miami's renter households are overcrowded with a breakdown by income category as follows: Income Category Percent of Overcrowded Renter Households 0-30% 26.3% 31-50% 34.7% 51-80% 36.4% Of Miami's 9,227 very low income and other low income large renter households, 7,880 or 85.4% are overcrowded. Fourteen and one-half percent of Miami's owner households are overcrowded with a breakdown by income category. In terms of unit size, Miami has a preponderance of smaller units, 54% of the existing housing stock consists of efficiencies and/or one 8/23/95 Page- V- 29 95- 830 bedroom units. Twenty nine percent are two bedroom units and the remaining 17% are three bedroom or larger units. Income Category Percent of Overcrowded Owner Households 0-30% 9.6% 31-5001' 15.5% 51-80% 16.9% Metro Dade County's Department of Housing and Urban Development currently owns and operates the 6,728 public housing units and other housing assistance programs in the City of Miami.

An inventory of historically significant housing Miami's heritage is much more than the small number of well-known historic buildings that have already been preserved by government and private organizations. It is represented in hundreds of older buildings and in neighborhoods of Mediterranean Revival, bungalow, and Bahamian style houses. For example. the Dade County Historic Survey of 1980 identified approximately 3.000 historic structures worthy of preservation, the majority of which were in the City of Miami. In the City of Miami. three residential neighborhoods have been designated as historic districts, and 65 properties have been designated as historic sites. Many more are eligible for designation. The Buena Vista East Historic District contains 288 buildings, while Morningside contains 235 buildings and Bayside contains 208 buildings. Buena Vista East is currently experiencing a resurgence in activity where affordable historic structures are being purchased and rehabilitated. (See attachment for listing of historical sites). H. An inventory of recent housing construction activity New Construction Scattered Site Affordable Homeownership Development Program Since 1979, the major thrust of the City of Miami's housing improvement strategy has emphasized the conservation and rehabilitation of the City's existing housing stock. The cost of land, construction materials and labor in the Miami housing marketplace effectively preclude the private housing industry from developing new single family homes within the affordability range and purchasing power of the City's low and moderate income residents. Moreover, the carryover costs (principal, interest, taxes and insurance) associated with the purchase of a single family home in the City's Community Development Target Areas, is substantially beyond the economic reach of most target area residents. Until recently, the financial vehicles necessary for the construction and long terra financing of new single family homes affordable to low and moderate income families in the City's Community Development Target Areas were not available. In an attempt to address this tremendous need for new affordable homeownership opportunities for low and moderate income families, the City Commission approved the implementation of the City's scattered Site Affordable Homeownership Development Program in October, 1986. The primary objective of this Program is the City's sponsored development and delivery "at cost" of new single family homes to be developed on an in - fill basis in the City's Community Development Target Areas. Construction funding for _ $ 8/23/95 Page- V- 36 this unique program was approved and made available through the issuance of $4,200,000 in tax exempt Special Obligation Housing Bonds, the proceeds of which have been used to establish a revolving construction fund for the the program. Tlie City, acting as developer, utilized $1.000.000 in C0111I11C1nity Developrncnt Bloch Grant funds for site acquisition in conjunction with public and private sector mortgage financing. Since the raid 1980's. the City of Miami leas acquired more than 90 parcels throughout the neighborhoods of Allapattah, Coconut Grove, Edison -Little River, Little Havana, Model City, Overtown and Wynwood for development of affordable housing and low, moderate and upper -income families utilizing Community Development Block Grant funds and 1976 General Obligation Housing Bond proceeds. Since the raid 1980's, the City has coordinated and provided financial assistance in connection with the construction/rehabilitation of over 941 new housing units in the City government, private not for profit housing developers and private local financial institutions. Affordable housing projects currently under construction and/or completed by community based not -for -profit housing corporations include the following: Project Sponsor Project Name/Location Number of Units 1.

Not only have these vacant parcels served as a depository of trash, construction material and abandoned cars, but in their present state these parcels also generate unsanitary and unhealthy conditions detrimental to the public welfare. One of the key components of the City's Comprehensive Housing Improvement Strategy emphasizes the importance and need of local government's role to carry out public redevelopment intervention policies in the production of affordable housing through land acquisition activities. Through the Citywide Land Acquisition For Low/Moderate Income Housing Program, public acquisition of vacant and substandard properties is being undertaken for the following objectives: 1. To provide land for new housing development; 2. To eliminate unsafe and unsanitary conditions of structures and land; 3. To remove incompatible land uses that are detrimental to the public's welfare; 4. To promote reasonable growth of residential housing in City neighborhoods; S. To generate employment, assessed property values and ad valorem revenues in the City. Selective land acquisition activities for new housing development continues to be an important component of Miami's housing strategy in expanding the availability of affordable housing units throughout the City. 95- 830 8/23/95 Page- V- 38 Table V Pagel Evaluation of Plan Objectives Housing Element OBJECTIVE MEASURABLE TARGET BASELINE CONDITIONS AT DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION (1990) CURRENT CONDITION (1995) OBJECTIVE ACHIEVED FUTURE ACTION REQUIRED HOL: Provide a local Between 1990 and According to the Since the mid 1980's NO Modify obiective to regularly, investment, 1995. increase the Comprehensive the City has achieve the year 2000 and neighborhood stock of affordable Housing coordinated and target. environment that will housing.

MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, LOCATION OF LAND USES, AND THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECT'S OF IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS. The housing assistance needs of the City of Miami are quite extensive. According to the 1990 Census, Miami ranks 4th in the U.S. Poverty Ranking for Cities with population over 100,000. Within the City of Miami, nearly one-half of its households (46%) are very low income. or less than or equal to 50% Median Family Income (MFI). Slightly less than cane -third of 29% are among the "poorest of the poor" with annual ineornes less than or equal to 300/0 MFI. More than half or 56% of the very low income households are renters, with elderly households comprising 35% of that total. For owner households, 25% are very low income and half of these are elderly households. In terms of unit affordability, in 1990 there were 34,674 rental units and 4,994 owner units totaling 39,668 units for 59,602 very low income households. A deficit of 19,934 housing units for very low income households existed even before the occurrence of Hurricane Andrew. Due to the lack of a recent housing survey depicting unit conditions it is assumed that the physical deterioration of the housing stock is due primarily to negligence. The major problem of development the City of Miami faces is that the residential areas of Miami, generally are older and more densely developed than those of Dade County. These characteristics reflect the central urban role of Miami in the County. Because the City is well established, there are few extensive tracts readily available for new housing. Thus development is limited to the assemblage of small lots and the in -fill of new units where space is available. Adequate affordable housing is particularly needed for very low, low and moderate income groups within a reasonable commute of employment centers and public transportation. 8/23/95 e9 830 - 40 UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES The U.S. 1990 Census is the data source used in attempting to address issues, problems and opportunities. An analysis of this data reveals the following information on Miami's household: 1. 58% of Miami's households, regardless of income, have one or more housing problems and at least some degree of cost burden. 2. For renter or households, 68% have one or more housing problems, while only 40% of owner households have housing problems. 3. The lowest income households (i.e. 0 to 30% MFI AND 31 to 50% MFI) are disproportionately renters and demonstrate the greatest amount of housing problems. PROBLEM: At this point, the City of Miami is experiencing a substantial increase in demand which has clearly outpaced the available supply of housing units, thus creating a tight housing market with very few vacancies and relatively high units. OPPORTUNITIES: To encourage and expand the availability of affordable housing. ISSUES: The private sector needs more incentives and less constraints to invest in community development target areas. PROBLEMS: According to the City of Miami's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) Plan for 1994-1998 the following conditions exist: 1. 24% or 22,788 renter units are substantial. 2. 42% of 9,571 substandard renter units are suitable for rehabilitation. 3. 14% or 6,243 owner units are substandard. 4. 43% of 2,684 substandard owner units are suitable for rehabilitation. A total of 20% of all Miami's housing stock is substandard. OPPORTUNITIES: Because renter households comprise the majority of affordable housing households, rehab opportunities of rental properties are increased. ISSUES: Stronger incentives for investors -owners. PROBLEMS: The homeless population for the City of Miami is estimated to be about 40% of the homeless population in Dade County, which is estimated at about 6,000 8/23/95 Page- V- 41 95- 83n persons. In addition, there are substantial members of persons considered to be near - homeless. OPPORTUNITIES: The City of Miami along with other members and representatives comprising the Task Force on homelessness have adopted a comprehensive system consisting of three phases to serve the homeless. At the Advanced Care Phase supported long term housing such as church assisted housing, supported Single Room Occupancy residences and assisted apartment or other residential arrangements are needed. ISSUES: The City of Miami would like to see homeless assistance provided throughout South Florida. PROBLEMS: Supportive housing for persons with special needs I. Elderly and Frail Elderly 2. Severely Mentally Ill 3. Developmentally Disabled 4. Physically Disabled 5. Persons with alcohol/other drug addiction 6. Persons with AIDS and related diseases OPPORTUNITIES: The City of Miami on behalf of Metropolitan Dade County, the Cities of Hialeah and Miami Beach in April of 1993 had its Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program funding application approved. As a result, short-term emergency housing assistance (rent, mortgage, utility payments) and other supportive sources can be provided. Here is incentive to provide supportive housing opportunities to people with AIDS. ISSUES: Additional funding sources are needed for the special needs population. Issues Addressed Through Current Programs Issues the City of Miami anticipates addressing through current programs as well as through the adoption of creative regulatory, design and planning, and financial/investment programs are highlighted below. Rental Assistance This rental subsidy program allows provisions whereby very low income tenant households with incomes falling at or below 50% of Median Family Income, would have their monthly rent subsidized to a level requiring their payment of 30% of their gross 95- 830 8/23/95 Page- V- 42 income. This section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program has annually subsidized the rent of more than 400 elderly and small family tenant households who might otherwise be living in substandard apartments and/or be facing the threat of homelessness. Special. Populations • Homeless and Near Homeless Populations The homeless population for the City of Miami is estimated to be approximately 40 percent of the homeless population in Dade County, which is estimated at about 6,000 persons. The needs of the homeless are extremely broad and vary depending upon the particular subpopulation: Situationally Homeless generally require immediate assistance to locate housing, employment and services. If such help is readily available, they can usually become self- sufficient very quickly. Episodic Homeless tend to be periodically homeless and require an extended period of treatment for substance abuse and/or mental health problems before reintegration into society occurs. Chronic Homeless generally, this group has been homeless for a long period of time due to severe mental illness, chronic substance abuse, or a combination of both problems. Prospects for reintegration into society are quite low and generally long term, extended care, perhaps for life, may be warranted. Street People generally are thought to have "dropped out" of society, and as a group, they tend to avoid programs and services. They will be the most difficult to deal with in terms of finding solutions. As a means of developing workable solutions to these complex problems, the City of Miami is a participating member of the Dade Homeless Trust, a Metro -Dade County Commission created task force on homelessness comprised of representatives from the City, County, Dade Legislative Delegation, the Dade League of Cities, as well as representatives from the homeless populations, the provider community and the Governor's Office. To date, the following has been accomplished: In July, 1993, the State Legislature established a dedicated funding source for homeless programs via a 1 % sales tax levied on food and beverages sold by restaurants with gross annual revenues exceeding $400,000. In the summer of 1994, the Miami City Commission voted to accept the Dade Homeless Trust's recommended site (N.Miami Avenue and 15th Street) for the location of a Homeless Assistance Center (HAC), one of three such facilities to be located within Dade County, to provide a full complement of services to several hundred homeless persons and/or families. 8/23/95 Page- V- 43 95- 830 Dealing with the needs of those persons threatened with homelessness is simpler since their needs are more easily identified transitional housing, rental assistance, employment opportunities, job training, affordable child care, low cost medical care, etc. Assuming existing programs/resources are adequately funded, these needs should be able to be met. Populations With Special Needs Other than Homeless Other special populations requiring particular attention include: Elderly and frail elderly Severely mentally ill (SMI) Developmentally disabled Physically disabled Persons with alcohol/other drug addiction (AODA) Persons with AIDS and related diseases (including HIV) • Elderly, and Frail Elderly The need for supportive housing for the elderly and frail elderly continues to rise as life spans continue to become more and more lengthened. The cost of housing, rent subsidies, services for the home bound, are some of the problems they face. It is suggested that low- income housing, housing projects and rental subsides be expanded to meet elderly needs. 9 Severely Mentally, III Because the City of Miami is a "Tri-Ethnic" community, it is imperative that mental health services be diverse. The City is characterized by its large refugee population, most of whom are economically deprived. The State of Florida has redirected funding that used to go to community health centers. These centers were started to keep residents out of hospitals and to offer treatment in the local community. There is a continuous need to expand mental health care in community health centers and to address supportive housing needs. Developmentally And Physically Disabled. The need for Supportive Housing for the Developmentally Disabled is an ongoing problem. Transitional housing and rental assistance should be assessed as possible solutions. Persons with Alcohol/Other Drug Addiction Alcohol and/or other drug addiction is a continuing problem and the supply for available beds to treat substance abuse and drug prevention falls well below demand. There is a need to provide supportive housing to meet this demand and reduce the problem. • Persons with AIDS And Related Diseases The Demand for Supportive Housing for this particular population is increasing due to the escalating numbers of persons affected with AIDS and related diseases. Dade County 95- 830 8/23/95 Page- V- 44 is said to have the highest percentage of AIDS cases in Florida, with Blacks and Hispanics having the highest prevalence of Human Immunedefciency Virus (HIV). Because many persons xvith AIDS and related diseases are unable to sustain employment, affordable housing is a major issue. The need for supportive housing and other services continues to increase as the number of HIV/AIDS clients increases and treatment improves. Over the next three to .five years the following resources are expected to be available for Miami's housing programs and activities. Federal Programs 1. CDBG Entitlement Program The City's total annual entitlement averages $13 million and based upon past performance it is estimated that $3 million will continue to be made available for housing rehabilitation programs, both single (I to 4 unit) and Multi -family (5+ units), for the renovation of existing units for low and moderate income households. An annual appropriation of CDBG funds has also traditionally been used to finance administrative as well as housing project development costs for several neighborhood based community development corporations. It is also expected that CDBG funds will continue to be used for the development of affordable new single family homes. 2. HOME Program Assuming federal program funding levels remain constant, the City of Miami Can expect to receive just under $4 million in HOME Program funding on an annual basis. Program funds will continue to be used for new construction of affordable housing both single and Multi -family, the rehabilitation of apartment buildings, homebuyer assistance and to support the housing activities of Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO's). 3. HOPWA-Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS Program. Based upon previous funding cycles, the City of Miami can expect to receive nearly $5 million annually to be used for projects and/or services located throughout Dade County. Eligible activities for funding range from the development of rental housing, via new construction or rehabilitation, including the provision of rental subsidies, to the sponsorship of a wide array of support services medical, emotional, employment, etc. Page- V- 45 95- 830 1-'. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Programs The City of Miami is currently an FHA approved lender and is awaiting confirmation of its application to become a direct endorsement lender whereby the City will be able to originate and approve FHA loans under the following programs: 1. Section 223F-Existing Multi -family Rental Housing The City of Miami is planning to participate in this federal program whereby HUD insures mortgages for the purchase or refinancing of existing Multi -family projects (5+ units) which were originally financed, either for construction or rehabilitation more than three (3) years ago. Projects may or may not have received federal mortgage insurance. 2. Section 221-134 Multi -family Rental Housing for Moderate Income Families Miami anticipates using this HUD financed mortgage insurance program to finance rental and/or cooperative Multi -family housing for moderate income households. including projects designated for the elderly. Single Room Occupancy (SRO) projects are also eligible for mortgage insurance. Under this program the federal government insures mortgages made by private lending institutions to help finance the construction or rehabilitation of multi- family rental or cooperative housing for moderate income or displaced families. HUD can insure up to 90% of the replacement cost for public nonprofit and cooperative mortgagors. 3. Section 203K Rehabilitation Mortgage Insurance Under the newly revamped U.S. HUD mortgage insurance program, Miami will utilize U.S. HUD mortgage insurance to provide the following for 1 to 4 unit residential properties: a) finance the rehabilitation; b) finance rehabilitation and refinancing of the outstanding indebtedness of a property; c) finance the purchase and rehabilitation of a property. - Owner eligibility is based upon the ability to pay. 4. Section 203b Single Family Mortgage insurance This program provides mortgage insurance to assist homebuyers in the purchase of new and existing one -to -four family dwellings. Any household which has a good credit record and can demonstrate the ability to make the required investment and the payments on the mortgage can be approved. This FHA Program insures the lender against loss which 95- 830 8/23/95 Page- V- 46 enables the buyer to have a longer terns to pay the mortgage and a lower downpayment than would be possible with a conventional mortgage. STATE PROGRAM 1. SHIP Program State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program. This program, which is the centerpiece of the William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act 1992, channels a portion of new and existing documentary stamp taxes on deeds directly to local governments for the development and maintenance of affordable housing. For fiscal year 1995-1996, the first year in which Dade County and the City of Miami are eligible to participate, a total of $1,353,387 in SHIP fiends has been allocated to Miami by the State of' Florida. SHIP funds will be used to implement a Local Housing Assistance Program which can include the construction and/or preservation of affordable housing. Both home ownership and rental housing can be included in the City's SHIP program however, at least 65% of Miami's funds must be used for home ownership. In addition, a minimum of 60% of units assisted in this program must be occupied by very low (50% or less) and low (50%80%) income persons. 8/23/95 Page- V- 47 95- 830 LOCAL PROGRAMS 1. Dade County Food and Beverage 1% Homeless Tax In July, 1993 Dade County enacted a 1 % sales tax on food and beverages sold in dining establishments whose gross annual revenues exceed $400,000. These funds provide a dedicated source of funds for homeless prograrns. Thus far, the Dade County Homeless Trust has devised plans for the establishment of three (3) full service Homeless Assistance Centers (HAC) to be located throughout Dade County. The first HAC recently received approval to be located just north of downtown Miami, with construction slated to be completed in 1995. 2. Dade County Documentary Surtax Loan Program In July of 1983, Metropolitan Dade County enacted a local ordinance which established a surtax of 0.45 cents per $100.00 value on documents recording the sale of real property. Single family residences are exempted from this tax. As a result, the Homeownership Assistance Loan Program (HALP) was established. Through this program, an eligible homebuyer obtains the maximum possible first mortgage from a local financial institution, and a deferred payment second mortgage from the County. The second mortgage financing provided by Dade County has an interest rate of 3% for low income families and 6% for moderate income families. The maximum second mortgage under the prograrn is $38,500, although the actual amount that a specific homebuyer is eligible to borrow will be based upon a sliding scale depending on his/her income. In addition to utilizing the Documentary Surtax Loan Program to expand affordable homeownership opportunities to low and moderate income families throughout the City through the City's Scattered Site Affordable Homeownership Development Program, the City also plans to work jointly with Community Development Corporations (CDCs) in securing surtax funds for the production of affordable housing units in the City's eight (8) CDBG target areas. On average, approximately $68 million is available annually from Metropolitan Dade County through the program. 3. Local Housing Bonds Historically, the City of Miami has had to rely solely upon federal funding in an effort to address the housing needs of its very low, low and moderate income residents. These federal programs essentially included the Community Development Block Grant Program, Rental Rehabilitation, Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG), Housing Development Grant Program (HODAG), Home investment Partnership Program (HOME Program) and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA). As 9 5- 830 8/23/95 Page- V- 48 1 a result of the City primarily relying on federal resources to address its housing needs, the City's housing strategy has been essentially restrictive and single purpose in providing affordable housing opportunities only to very low, low and moderate income residents in most cases. The City of Miami's housing strategy has somewhat. been expanded with the use of the City's capacity to issue both General Obligation housing Bonds and Special Housing Revenue Bonds for the development of affordable housing resources in the City. In 1976, the City of Miami voters approved the issuance of $25,000,000 in General Obligation Housing Bonds, which have been utilized for financing the development of both rental and homeownership Dousing units. In addition, proceeds from the G.O. Housing Bonds have also been used for the acquisition of suitable housing sites for the development of new housing resources by both the City and not -for -profit housing community development corporations. Moreover, in 1986, the City of Miami pledged its local AT&T franchise fees for the issuance of $42.2 million in 1986 Special Housing Revenue Bonds, Series A, for the purpose of making available construction financing for the development of new single family homes under the City's Scattered Site Affordable Homeownership Development Program. These sources of local housing funds have provided the City of Miami the flexibility to also create affordable housing opportunities for middle and upper -income families in the City. The St. Hugh Oaks Village Condominiums projects, is a classic example of the City's effort to create upper income homeownership opportunities in the CDBG target areas, outside of the projects which have been constructed in the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment area. Expanding the availability of local housing bonds should continue to be a key element of the City's housing strategy in its efforts to attach middle and upper income families to the City of Miami. 4. Bank Consortium Arrangements Bank consortium arrangements are increasing the participation of the private sector in providing affordable housing and stabilizing neighborhoods. Low interest loans are increasingly available in target communities and to community based organizations responsible for the provision of affordable housing. Page- V- 49 95- 830 1 EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART 1I F.S. In 1993 there were several amendments to the Chapter 163 regarding requirements for the Housing Element. These are shown below: • Having the element apply to the jurisdiction, rather than the area. This change had no effect on the City's Housing Element inasmuch as the original element dealt with the jurisdiction. + Including very -low income housing in the types of housing to be considered. This change in wording has been incorporated into all proposed policies of the Housing Element where appropriate. • Provided guidance that the creation or preservation of affordable housing should minimize the need for additional local services and avoid the concentration of affordable housing units only in specific areas. This change has been accommodated by placing increasing policy emphasis on providing affordable housing from the existing housing stock where services are already available. The avoidance of concentrations of affordable housing has been specifically included in a policy statement and implied in others. Required DCA to prepare an affordable housing needs assessment for all local jurisdictions, which will be used by each local government in preparing the EAR and EAR -based amendment, unless DCA allows the local government to prepare its own needs assessment. The needs assessment has, at this date, June 30, 1995, still not been provided by DCA. Consistency With The Strategic Regional Policy Plan For South Florida The South Florida Regional Planning Council promotes bringing affordable housing opportunities within reach of all South Florida residents. Through a series of strategic regional goals and policies outlined in Chapter VI of its draft Strategic Policy (SRPP), the 915- 830 8/23/95 Page- V- 50 Council seeks to reduce the cost of housing to "contribute to the competitive advantage of companies in this region as they are increasingly drawn into the global economy." These goals and policies address issues such as ensuring the availability of affordable housing, increasing its supply and ensuring efficient affordable housing development in the South Florida region. Providing affordable housing opportunities to all residents and persons of all income categories in the community is a primary concern and focus of the City of Miami. Strategic Regional Goal 6.1 calls for ensuring the availability of adequate affordable housing for very -low, low and moderate income groups within a reasonable commute of employment centers. The proposed CDMP Housing Element is consistent with this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 6.1.1 suggests development should provide adequate amounts of very low, low and moderate income housing units that are readily accessible to employment centers, with priority for development to be accessible by public transportation. The proposed CDMP addresses this policy. Strategic Regional 6.1.4 calls for governments to develop programs in their local comprehensive plans to increase the range of choice of housing costs and types for very low, low and moderate income families. Several CDMP Housing Element objectives and policies are consistent with the regional policy. Strategic Regional Policy 6.1.8 concerns the development of facilities for short-term emergency housing for those persons displaced through circumstances such as natural disasters, forced relocation, or in cases of extreme hardship. The proposed CDMP Housing Element is consistent with this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 6.1.10 calls for providing appropriate housing such as halfway houses and congregate living facilities concurrent with the release of persons who are institutionalized, with special attention to those with AIDS and Strategic Regional Policy 6.1.12 calls for developing alternatives to address the need for housing for persons with disabilities and very low incomes. The proposed CDMP Housing Element is consistent with these policies. Strategic Regional Goal 6.2 discusses increasing or improving the existing supply of adequate affordable housing through the stabilization and revitalization of existing neighborhoods and the proposed CDMP Housing Element contains a similar provision. 8/23/95 Page- V- 51 95- 830 Strategic Regional Policy 6.2.5 discusses the provision of adequate housing within the Region through the renovation and rehabilitation of substandard housing, where economically feasible and the proposed CDMP Housing Element has similar provisions. Strategic Regional Policy 6.2.8 addresses increasing and strengthening code enforcement at the local level through additional staffing and funding. The CDMP Housing Element is not consistent with this policy as stated in its present form. City of Miami code enforcement policies and regulations have increased and become more stringent, conforming to South Florida BOCA Code. Strategic Regional Policy 6.2.9 discusses the education of local governments and the public about the need for rehabilitation of substandard housing in neighborhoods. The proposed CDMP Housing Element is consistent with this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 6.3 calls for decreasing the cost and increasing the efficiency of providing affordable housing in the region. The proposed CDMP Housing Element is consistent with this regional goal. Strategic Regional Policy 6.3.2 discusses directing policy priorities to the provision of affordable housing to very low and low income housing and the Proposed CDMP Housing Element contains similar emphasis. Strategic Regional Policy 6.3.3 calls for local governments to reserve adequate sites at adequate densities for future very low, low and moderate income housing needs and, where possible, integrate the reservation of adequate sites into capital improvements programs in their comprehensive plans. The CDMP Housing Element is not consistent with this policy as stated in its present form because of the Capital Improvements provision. Strategic Regional Goal 6.3.8 discusses the marketing of low and moderate income housing as an economically viable and financially feasible type of development by disseminating information of tax and other incentives designed to stimulate low income housing development. The proposed CDMP Housing Element is consistent with this policy through a broad array of objectives and policies. Strategic Regional Policy Goal 6.3.9 calls for increasing access to timely information on funding availability and the proposed CDMP Housing Element contains similar intent. 8/23/95 95- 839 Page- V- 52 CONSISTENCY WITH RULE 9,15, F.A.C. Since the adoption of the CDMP Housing Element there have been a number of changes to Rule 9J5, F.A.C. The Rule now contains reference to an "affordable housing needs assessment" which was to have been provided to local jurisdictions by DCA (or a methodology to be followed). This was not forthcoming so the updated Housing Element contains a needs assessment developed internally. The Rule calls for addressing the "existing housing delivery system" which has been done. It also asks that housing be provided in such a way that it "minimizes need for additional services" and "avoids concentration of affordable housing". Both of these points have been addressed. The term "very low" has been added to the definition of the income groups to be served by affordable housing programs and this terminology has been incorporated into the Housing Element. Likewise, sites are to be provided for group homes in "areas of residential character" and for "manufactured" homes. These definitional changes are recognized in the Housing Element, and increased emphasis has been placed on designating sites for affordable housing. The revised Rule requires a policy to advocate reduction of costs and delays in the permitting process for housing, especially affordable housing. This has been added. An optional policy that allows indirect methods such as job training and creation to help with the provision of affordable housing has not been included. Also, the policy directive that permits interlocal agreements as a way for a jurisdiction to meet affordable housing needs is not necessary for Dade County and has not been included although a policy encouraging municipal jurisdictions to do so if necessary is added. Plan Amendments It has been found that the housing element has essentially been implemented during the evaluation period. Reorganization of goals, objectives and policies is needed to strengthen areas and to include changes in wording. Goal HG-1 The intent of this goal should be retained but should reworded top include very low income households. 8/23/95 Page- V- 53 95- 830 Objective HO-1.1 This objective should be modified to reflect and overcome identified constraints. The intent should be retained however, measurable targets should ponder the many variables that can impact the housing supply. Objective HO-1.1.1 should be deleted and placed in a section called definitions. Remaining policies under this objective should be retained and slightly reworded. Objective HO-1.2 This objective should be retained. Objective HO-1.2.1 and 1.2.5 should be deleted and placed in a section called definitions. Remaining policies under this objective should be retained and slightly reworded. Objective HO-1.3 This objective should be retained. Policies HO-1.3.3 and 1.3.4 - should be eliminated. Remaining policies should be retained. Objective HO-1.4 - This objective should be retained. Policy HO-1.4.2 - should be eliminated. Remaining policies should be retained and slightly reworded. A new policy should be added to reflect fair share distribution of homeless shelters in the region. Objective HO-1.5 - This objective should be retained. Policy HO-1.6.1 - should be retained. Objective HO-1.6 - This objective should be eliminated. Policy HO-1.6.1 - should be eliminated. Goal HO-2 This goal should be retained. Objective HO-2.1 This objective should be retained. Remaining policies under this objective should be retained and slightly reworded. 95� 830 8/23/95 Page- V- 54 CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS Objective HO1.1: This objective was not totally achieved primarily because the cost of land, construction materials and labor in the Miami housing marketplace effectively preclude the private housing industry from developing new single family homes within the affordability range and purchasing power of the City's low and moderate income residents. The aftermath of I-Iurricane Andrew which arrived on August 24, 1992 was felt for several months. Construction related problems and/or delays included: 1. A much stricter building code. 2. A shortage of building materials, especially roofing materials. 3. A shortage of licensed general contractors able and willing to work with City of Miami housing programs. In addition, Miami's housing market also received an unexpected jolt in the form of a building moratorium imposed in central Dade County (includes the City of Miami) due to the near collapse of an antiquated sewer system. Until recently, the financial vehicles necessary for the construction and long term financing of new single family homes affordable to low and moderate income families in the City's Community Development Target Areas were not available. This objective should be modified to reflect and overcome identified constraints. Policy Relevance All policies under HO-1.1 were reviewed.

Needed actions in utilizing current population projections provided by Metropolitan Dade County's Planning Department. the following required actions must be continued and/or implemented. Continue efforts to increase and improve the City's existing housing inventory through the rehabilitation of substandard housing units through the City's CDBG funded single family and Multi -family rehabilitation loan programs. Encourage and expand the inventory of housing units located in the downtown or central business district through the development of new housing units and/or conversion of commercial/office buildings to housing reuse for all income groups. Encourage and promote public/private housing ventures in the City through cooperative efforts between City government, Community based not -for -profit housing corporations (CDC's) and private local financial institutions.

The Element is organized into the following sections used to provide a synopsis of existing conditions and trends: 3. 1. Air Quality: Dade County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami has aggressively implemented and participated in Stratospheric Ozone Protection, stationary source reduction and vapor recovery programs aimed at controlling ozone precursors. As a result, during the past six years there has been only one exceedance (1990) of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone in Dade County and the City of Miami. There were three exceedances of the NAAQS (1989 - 1990) for Total Suspended Particulates. There have been no recorded exceedances of any of NAAQS since 1991. 2, Water Quality: Dade County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami has conducted extensive water sampling since 1989 on ambient surface water (general canal), ambient ground water, and specific ground water programs. Surface water quality in freshwater canals is generally good. During 1992-93, exceedances of surface water quality were observed in 2.7% of the samples from intensive and general canal programs and recorded Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of chloride, ammonia, manganese, lead and selenium. Most of the groundwater well sampling met water quality standards. Dade County with the support of the City of Miami is actively conducting groundwater pollution remediation programs. WelIfield Protection and Aquifer Recharge: The public wellfields in Dade County consistently with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami have met water quality standards for the provision of drinking water. Dade County and the City are evaluating the feasibility of defining new Maximum Wellfield Protection Zones as a means to improve data reliability for better evaluating samples 8/28/95 Page-VI-2 95- 830 N 4, Flood Protection and Drainage: Stormwater drainage has been identified as a main source of water pollution in Dade County. Dade County, the City of Miami and several other municipalities are developing and implementing Stonnwater Facilities Master Plans. 5. Soils and Mineral Resources: In 1992, the Soil Conservation Services (SC S) published new soils maps for Dade County. Since Dade County has a large amount of agricultural lands, retention and agricultural lands is important to this industry that supplies much of the nation with winter vegetables. 6. Wetlands: Between 1988 and 1994, Dade County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami did not issue any permits for dredge and fill projects in relatively unstressed wetlands (higher value of native species). Two hundred twenty permits were issued in areas designated as stressed wetlands (lower value: more impacted due to exotic species invasion) allowing 5,825 acres of jurisdictional Nvetlands to be dredged or filled. Over 75% of these projects were for rock mining and the other 25% agricultural. Dade County and the City of Miami will continue to protect wetlands through the regulatory process. These lands are vital to the County's and the City's urban water supply and natural community. The Everglades Restoration Project is tied to restoring historic water regimes through natural wetlands. Based on "The Florida Land Use and Cover Classification System: A Technical Report" (The Florida Department of State Planning), which uses the presence of mangroves as the identifying feature for wetlands, a total of approximately 186 acres of wetlands, a are present on Virginia Key. This constitutes approximately 18% percentage of the Keys 1005 acres. In addition to their aesthetic value, wetlands perform many important functions for the people of the state without the need for tax dollars. Wetlands of all sizes and types are major habitat for many fish and game species. They store water during floods and release it slowly during dry periods. Although they are generally poor water recharge areas, they do account for a significiant amount of recharge to our underground waters around their peripheries and in discharge streams. Wetlands protect shores from erosion as well as provide nutrient traps that clean runoff water from the land. Sediments and other pollutants picked up by the surface water are dropped in the wetland area or taken up by vegetation before discharging to our lakes and streams. Even small isolated, intermittent wetlands such 8/28/95 Page-VI-3 95-- 830 as Virginia Key and Dinner Key Spoil Islands provide these functions and usually support unusual species not found in deeper waters. Examples range from tiny species such as the little grass frog and sundew to the endangered wood stork and other large wading birds. 7. Upland Forests: There are approximately 4.400 acres of pinclands and 1,000 acres of harnmocks in Dade County outside the Everglades National Park. Approximately half these areas are in private ownership and may be eligible for purchase through the County's Environmentally Endangered Lands Program (EEL) passed by Dade County voters in 1990 for $90 million to purchase and manage remaining natural areas. As funding allows, Dade County will continue to acquire remaining environmentally sensitive lands. 8. Fish and Wildlife/Endangered Plant and Animal Species: There are currently 14 federally listed: endangered and 5 federally listed threatened species that reside in Dade County, and the City of Miami. Critical habitat has been designated in the City of Miami and Dade County for four of the endangered species. During the past three decades south Florida has experienced an explosive growth in the number and range of exotic pest plants. These non-native species invade natural areas, grow aggressively, and eventually smother and destroy native plant communities eliminating natural wildlife habitat and food sources. Exotic animals also threaten natural areas, but they have not yet reached the same level of concern for Dade County or the City of Miami as exotic plants. Dade County and the City of Miami has begun to actively manage its natural areas to remove exotic pest plants and restore natural communities so that they may be successfully preserved. Achievement of Objectives The County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami made good progress in achieving the following objectives of the Conservation Element during the 1988 - 1994 evaluation period. Objective l.To improve air quality to meet standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by 1994, meet future standards, and reduce human exposure to air pollution. Page-VI-4 95- 830 Objective 3.To regulate wellfield protection areas and implement recommendations of the NW Wellfield Protection Plan. Objective 7.To achieve no net loss of high quality relatively unstressed wetlands in Dade County and the City of Miami.. The County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami made reasonable progress in achieving the following objectives of the Conservation Element. Objective 2.To meet all applicable federal, state and local ground and surface water quality standards. Objective 4.To achieve no net loss of water -storage or aquifer -recharge potential as a result of drainage to accommodate urban development or agricultural use and to maintain or enhance the integrity, capacity and periodicity of natural surface water drainage and implement water conservation measures. Objective 5.To develop within the Urban Development Boundary (UDB) cut and fill criteria and basin management plans that provide flood protection in areas that cannot be adequately drained by the primary canal system and to correct system deficiencies in County maintained drainage facilities and coordinate the extension of facilities to meet future demands throughout the unincorporated area. Outside the UDB, the County/City of Miami shall not provide, or seek additional drainage facilities that would exacerbate urban sprawl. Objective 6.To conserve and appropriately utilize soils and mineral resources. Objective 8.To update Dade County's/the City of Miami's National Forest Inventory and maintain and protect upland forests. Objective 9.To conserve and use in an environmentally sound manner, freshwater fishes and wildlife and preserve the net amount of habitat critical to federal, state, County or City designated endangered, threatened, or rare species or species of special concern Current Issues Several key issues were identified within the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) as new issues and unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities. The most pertinent are listed as follows: • Air Quality will continue to be a key current issue for Dade County, with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami as it is nationwide. Dade County with the support of the City of Miami has established several programs to deal with air toxics, ozone depletion, and the control of volatile organic compounds. and is participating in the EPA's national Air Tox.ics Strategy Program to monitor the air for urban toxic air pollution. Dade County and the City of Miami has begun to develop an air quality computerized data base that will enable timely and effective corrective actions, when necessary, to improve air quality within Dade County, or the City of Miami.. Y Wellfield Protection issues include ground water monitoring networks to assess long- term quality trends and provide a means of detecting underground contamination that might not otherwise be detected by inspections of hazardous facilities or investigations of illegal dumping of hazardous materials. Dade County with the collaborationof the City of Miami has implemented active monitoring programs to determine overall water quality in Wellfield recharge areas and risk, if any, to drinking water supplies. • Enhancing water storage capacity is another key issue that affects both natural communities and urban areas. Dade County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami is working with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to evaluate alternative methods for managing and storing water. • Hurricane Andrew severely impacted all of the remaining tropical hardwood and pine rocklands in southern Dade County, and some parts of the City of Miami Trees were snapped off and the canopy removed. In the months that followed the storm, almost 90% of mature pines died as a result of insect damage to the weakened trees. In hardwood forests, exotic vines rapidly engulfed downed native trees and seedlings threatening to destroy the entire ecosystem. The seriousness of the situation led to over $6 million in funding to conduct a large-scale Post -Hurricane Natural Areas Restoration Plan developed by the City of Miami and Dade County Park and Recreation Department for its parkland in natural areas. Ongoing, dedicated tunds are needed to actively manage the County's 6,000 plus acres of parkland natural areas. • Stormwater Drainage will continue being a key issue for Dade County, and the City of Miami. In 1993, Dade County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami initiated a stormwater master planning process that will determine the level of service being provided by the primary canals and sub -basins within those canals in the 8/28/95 Page-VI-6 95- 830 unincorporated portions of Dade County, The issue of stormwater runoff was addressed under water quality. Recommendations The key recommendations for revising Objectives for the Conservation Element are: 1. Recommend a New Flood Protection and Water Quality Level of Service Standard. 2. Place high priority on acquiring and managing Resources of Regional Significance, and lands on the State Save Our Rivers and County Environmentally Endangered Lands lists. INTRODUCTION Purpose: The purpose of the Conservation Element is to establish a framework from which to guide growth Nvithm the City of Miami, while preserving, enhancing and appropriately using our natural resources. The goals, ob�jectivcs and policies which will result from the data and analysis in this element will provide a basis for decision making by City officials. The plan will attempt to prevent further loss or destruction of it's natural resources. This must be done in conjunction with a plan to promote more efficient management of the City's most important resources such as Biscayne Bay, the Miami River and Virginia Key. The following sections of this report will identify and analyze all of the environmentally sensitive areas within the City of Miami. The analysis will include descriptions, the significance of each resource to the City, and the current conditions of each resource. Page-VI-8 95- 830 CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION Air Quality Air pollution has been recognized as a problem throughout the State of Florida primarily in the larger metropolitan areas. With increased growth in the next few years, air pollution is expected to increase. Emissions from automobiles are considered the major air pollution source in the state as well as in the City of Miami. Because Florida is a low-lying peninsula, it permits much of the air pollution to go out to sea, however, other factors are beginning to work to retain air pollutants over the land. The principle factor is the building of highrises; this causes less natural dispersion of air pollutants. Air pollutants which affect the City of Miami are produced both within and outside the City limits. The primary pollutants emitted which affect the City include carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and particulates (TSP). Ozone Ozone is the major constituent of smog. It is produced from the hydrocarbons emitted mainly by automobiles and "cooked" in the air by photochemical processes during the heat of daylight hours, especially in the summer. High enough concentrations can cause or bring out asthma attacks, bronchitis, emphysema and other respiratory ailments. Even in low concentrations it can be harmful to infants and older people as well as plants. Carbon Monoxide (CO)/ Mobile Sources Automobiles, especially at slow speeds, produce potentially dangerous levels of CO. Inhalation of CO restricts the blood's hemoglobins from carrying oxygen to the heart and brain, causing drowsiness and impaired brain functions as well as breathing difficulties. Although levels of CO have been decreasing over the last five years as cars with more efficient pollution control equipment become dominant, levels will obviously increase again as growth of the automobile fleet continues. 8/28/95 Page-VI-9 95- 830 Planned development for the City of Miami could cause violations of the set carbon monoxide standards. Without good planning and the implementation of traffic flow improvements at carbon monoxide hot spots, development growth could adversely impact air quality. Particulates Small dust particles. especially in combination with S02, is a particular health hazard for young and old people. Areas around loading docks, cement factories and mining operations have the worst problems; construction sites are dusty for shorter periods of time. While each of these substances alone can cause significant health and environmental problems, some of the most potentially dangerous situations arise from reactions among various chemicals in the atmosphere, or between chemicals and sunlight. Sulfur Oxides Sulfur dioxide (S02) is an odorless and colorless gas that is the by-product of burning fossil fuels that have high sulfur content, mainly lower -grade oil or coal for power plants and large industrial uses. (Relatively small amounts are produced by cars) So2 in heavy concentrations is lethal to humans, in smaller amounts it can cause chronic respiratory problems, especially in combination with particulates. Nitrogen Dioxide The nitrogen oxides released from auto exhausts are relatively harmless, but they interact with oxygen in the air to form nitrogen dioxide, a very irritating gas that can damage the human respiratory tract. In the presence of sunlight, hydrocarbons can react with other hydrocarbons or nitrogen oxides to form smog which is far more damaging to human health than either hydrocarbons or nitrogen oxides alone. Lead Median values for lead in Biscayne Bay during the 1979-1984 period ranged from 0.4 ug/1 to 1.2 ug/1 with the highest concentration found in the Miami River. According to DERM, these averages are higher than those reported elsewhere. The most widespread sources of lead are exhaust fumes from internal combustion engines and paints. Lead is also used in batteries, pigments, dying, glass and pesticides. 8/28/95 Page-V I-10 95- 830 Water Quality The following information was obtained from the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department, an agency of Metropolitan Dade County, and the City of Miami. The goal of the department is "to develop a Countywide water supply, treatment and distribution system by construction of extensions and acquisition of existing systems to provide the public with a safe, uninterrupted water supply that meets all Federal, State and County standards." Principal facilities constructed and operated by the Department include three water treatment complexes Nvith a combined production capacity of 358 million gallons per day. They are the Hialeah, John E. Preston and Alexander Orr, Jr. Water Treatment Plants. These plants are supported by wellfields located at: the Alexander Orr, Jr. Plant site on S.W. 87 Avenue and 68 Street and on S.W. 76 Street at 123 Avenue to serve the southern part of Dade County; and the new Northwest Wellfield at N.W. 74 Street and 137 Avenue in the Everglades to serve the northern portion of the County. In addition to these facilities, the water transmission and distribution system consists of over 4,100 miles of water mains extending from the Broward County boundary to Florida City. Water Conservation There is currently no written "Water Conservation" plan, policy or guidelines within the City of Miami, or Dade County. However, the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department, who is the wholesale and retail supplier of water for approximately 90% of Dade County including the entire City of Miami, is currently discussing the urgent need for such a policy plan. Water conservation within the municipalities being served by the Department is becoming a critical issue. The allocation of enforcement responsibilities for such a plan between the County and the municipalities has however caused a stumbling block in the development of the plan. Until an agreement is reached on this issue, a plan will not be developed and implemented. Floodplains The City of Miami has its entire eastern edge subject to coastal flooding. Figure V.21 identities these areas by Zones A and V as designated on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps, the V-zones identify the high hazard coastal areas. The City of Miami requires that development within floodplains comply with the "appropriate" Federal guidelines and flood criteria adopted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.), the South Florida Building Code (S.F.B.C.), and Chapter 11 C of the Metropolitan Dade County Code entitled "Development Within Coastal Flood Hazard Districts", which is the ordinance that is followed by all of the municipalities within Dade County including the City of Miami. "Appropriate", refers to the fact that there are different requirements for the different "Iettered" zones as shown on the federal flood insurance maps. Compliance is required by the Federal Government in order to maintain Federal flood insurance. It is not an option, it is a requirement. The statement of legislative intent from Chapter 1 I C of the Metropolitan Dade County Ordinance describes the above and reads as follows: "The coastal areas of Dade County, Florida, are subject to flooding resulting in danger to life, loss of property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare. The board of county commissioners of Dade County, by Resolution NO. R-671-69, adopted on May 28, 1969, expressed willingness to take action necessary to meet the objectives of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 within Dade County, Florida; and by Resolution No. R-912- 70, adopted on July 24, 1970, reaffirmed its interest in securing flood insurance coverage under said act, and agreed to establish by December 31, 1971, measures required under the Federal Insurance Program. In August of 1970, the Federal Insurance Administration declared the entire area of Dade County eligible for federally assisted flood insurance, which insurance will mitigate the effects of damages from such natural disasters as hurricanes and severe storms and their attendant flooding. This chapter is adopted to insure the continued availability of said flood insurance; to comply with federally imposed requirements; and to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by minimizing flood losses in the coastal areas of Dade County." 8/28/95 Page-V I-12 95- 830 Soils The State of Florida can be divided into two geological provinces - the Central Highlands and the Coastal Lowlands. The Coastal Lowlands encompass all of South Florida and consist of plains representing marine terraces which have been modified by erosion. Dade County including the City of Miami are located on the southern flank of a stable carbonate platform on which thick deposits of limestones, dolomites, and evaporites have accumulated. Tile upper two hundred feet of the soil profile is composed predominantly of limestone and quarta sand. These sediments were deposited during several glacial and interglacial stages when the ocean was at elevations higher than present. Dade County and the City of Miami soils are generally classified as: sands, rocklands, marls, organic soils including peals and mucks, and man-made land. The rocky soils of the Miami area are called Rockdales and Rockland and are found where little or no deposition has occurred over the limestone bedrock or where erosion has removed previous deposits. According to the most recent survey update of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (1997), the entire City of Miami Boundaries can be classified as "Urban Land Udorthents". Urban Land is covered by streets, sidewalks, parking lots and buildings and other structures that so obscure the soil that identification is not feasible. Lythic Udorthents are nearly level areas of extremely stoney fill material. Typically the fill material is light gray and white, extremely stoney loam about 55 inches thick. Underlying this is hard porous limestone Mineral Resources The State of Florida Department of Environmental Regulation has identified, in a publication entitled "Florida Mining Atlas: A Guide to Mineral Resource Management," only one commercially valuable mineral in the Miami area; it is limestone. There are currently no active mines in the City of Miami, however there are reserves in the areas. Limestone underlies all of Florida, but over much of the state it is covered by a surface mantle of soils, sands and clayey sands that range in thickness from a thin veneer up to several hundred feet. Limestone is mined in the four major areas of the state listed below where the deposits are located at or near the land surface: 1) Jackson, Holmes and Washington Counties in northwestern Florida, 2) Wakulla, Taylor, Lafayette, Suwannee, 8/28/95 Page-VI-I3 95- 830 Dixie, Gilchrist, Alachua, Levy, Marion, Citrus, Sumter, Hernando. Pasco, Hillsborough and Polk Counties in the western peninsular area, 3) Lee, Hendry and Collier Counties in southwestern Florida, and 4) Broward and Dade Counties along the southern portion of the Atlantic Coast. There is also some limestone mining in other localized areas such as the region around Lake Okeechobee. The principle use of limestone is as a road base. Although there are several large limestone operations in the state, many operators are quite small and provide road material for local use only. Because of the changing needs for this material, both operators and the locations of operations change quite frequently. Wetlands (refer to: Coastal Management Element) Fish and Wildlife/Endangered Species The following Table V.12 summarizes the Endangered, Threatened, Rare and Wildlife Species of Special Concern in Dade County, and the City of Miami. Status classification refers to the definitions of the Florida Committee on Rare and Endangered Species. Endangered indicates taxa that are in imminent danger of extinction if causal factors presently at work continue operating. Threatened refers to species that are likely to move into the endangered category in the foreseeable future if causal factors continue operating. Rare includes taxa that are localized or restricted within a limited geographical region or are thinly scattered over a wider range. Species of Special Concern are those that do not fit within the previous categories but which warrant continued attention. The notations in the status column refer to status on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife list and in the Florida Wildlife Code. The classifications are defined as follows: E;US - Endangered, U.S. Fish and Wildlife list - any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range other than certain insects. T;US - Threatened, U.S. Fish and Wildlife list - any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. N;US - Not included on Federal List, 8/28/95 Page-VI-14 g5� �3n E;FL - Endangered, Florida Wildlife Code - any species of fish or wildlife naturally occurring in Florida whose prospects of survival are in jeopardy due to modifications or loss of liabitat, over -utilization for commercial, sporting, scientific or educational purposes; disease; predation. inadequacy of regulatory mechanisms; or other natural or man-made factors affecting its continued existence. T;FL- Threatened, Florida Wildlife Code - any species of fish or wildlife naturally occurring in Florida «,hich may not be in immediate danger of extinction, but exists in such small populations as to become endangered if it is subjected to increased stress as a result of further modification of its environment. N;FL - Not listed in Florida Wildlife Code. 8/28/95 Page-V I-1 S 95- 830 CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF REPORT UPDATE AND ANALYSIS OF BASELINE DATA Since the adoption of the Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan (MNCP) in 1989, City of Miami with the support of Dade County, has substantially improved the quality of its air and water databases. In addition, the County and the City have undertaken and participated in, several projects that have increased our understanding of the natural resources within, and adjacent to, this area. Some of the most significant are the Bird Drive and North Trail Basin Studies, the NW Lake Belt Environmental Studies and the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program. Air Quality. Since the adoption of the MNCP, the City with the support of Dade County have aggressively implemented and participated in Stratospheric Ozone Protection, stationary source reduction and vapor recovery programs aimed at controlling ozone precursors. As a result, during the past six years there has been only one exceedance of the NAAQS for ozone in Dade County, and the City of Miami. That exceedance occurred in NW Dade County/ City of Miami in 1990 Water Quality. Since 1989, DERM's Planning and Evaluation Section (P&E) has maintained ambient surface water (general canal), ambient ground water and specific ground water monitoring programs.. DERM's Restoration and Enchancement Section (R&E) has maintained the ambient data base for Biscayne Bay plus background and discharge data for the major canals that drain into Biscayne Bay. The discussion that follows is limited to the fresh water canals and ground water. Biscayne Bay and canals east of the salinity structures are discussed in the Coastal Element. Since 1989, the following canals have been sampled intensively: 1989 Biscayne Canal (C-8), 1990 Cutler Drainage Basin (C-100), 1993 Little River (C-7), and 1994 Biscayne (C-8) and Snake Creek (C-9) Canals. These intensive studies target sites with possible point source impacts in addition to the regular general canal monitoring sites. The canal monitoring programs have been modified several times since 1999. During 1992, sediment samples were collected and analyzed at most of the water quality stations in the general canal program. Since then, sediments sampling has been part of the Intensive Canal studies. In 1993, fish tissue analyses were added to the intensive canal sampling program. 8/28/95 Page- V I-16 95- 830 In 1994, the general canal program was modified to provide supplementary data necessary to maintain historical data sets and to sample for the toxic pollutants required for the stormwater utility (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) program. Altogether, there are more than 140 historical sampling sites in fresh water canals. The station locations are included in a Geographical Information System (GIS) coverage maintained by DERM. Surface Water Quality. Water quality in the freshwater canals, is generally good. During 1992 and 1993, exceedances of surface water quality standards were observed in 2.7% of the samples from the intensive and general canal programs. Exceedanees were recorded for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), chloride, ammonia, manganese, lead and selenium. Most of the exceedances were in Little River, Arch Creek, Coral Gables Waterway, Goulds Canal, Miami River and Military Canal. Background dissolved oxygen levels are below the minimum standard of 5 mg/1 in all canals due to the close relationship with ground water which has dissolved oxygen levels below 1 mg/l. At the salinity dam discharge sites, canals south of Snapper Creek generally exceed the minimum standard for dissolved oxygen, while those north of Snapper Creek do not meet standard. Canals in agricultural areas, especially Goulds Canal, C-102, and C-103, have nitrate - nitrite levels that range seasonally from 0.5 -5.0 mg/l which exceed background (0.05 mg/l NOx-N). While there have been no exceedances of the 10 mg/1 NOx-N standard for nitrate, levels as high as 7 mg/l NOx-N have been measured in dead-end canals where dilution is at a minimum. Elevated ammonia levels are a particular problem in Little River (due to sewage overflows) and the eastern portion of Goulds Canal (due to downstream proximity to the South Dade Landfill (SDLF). Military Canal has been degraded by activities at Homestead Air Force Base (HAFB). There are active ground water pollution remediation programs in place for both the HAFB and SDLF. The "DLF Remediation Plan" (Hazen Sawyer, P.C. 1992) and the HAF13 Remediation Plan" (Carter, J.A., 1994) provide details about these programs. Dade County with the support of the City of Miami began conducting smoke tests in April 1992 to identify illicit stormwater/sanitary sewer interconnections. As of November 1994, Florida DOT had corrected 23 interconnections to storm sewers on state roads, Dade County Public Works had plugged seven interconnections, the City of Miami had completed 19 disconnection projects and four projects had been done by private individuals as a result of Dade County issuing a notice of violation and following up with court proceedings, where necessary. 8/28/95 Page-VI-17 95- 830 In 1993 and 1994, the Dade County Water and Sewer Department conducted smoke tests of the sanitary sewer system to determine where sewer mains or laterals were cracked or broken. This was done because of the need to reduce the large volumes of groundwater that were infiltrating the sewer lines and overburdening the capacity of the sewer system. Details about the infiltration/inflow program and the federal and state law suits to correct deficiencies in the sewer system are contained in the Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Element. Ground Water Quality. The ambient groundwater program provides a broad brush perspective of groundwater resources rather than an assessment of high risk land uses or point sources of pollution. In general, most of the ground water wells sampled meet water quality standards. During 1992-3, 5.2% of the ground wateer samples exceed water quality standards. Most of the exceedances were for color, ammonia and iron. Near coastal areas, standards are generally exceeded for chlorides and dissolved solids because of salt and water intrusion. Other parameters such as iron and phenols occur naturally at levels exceeding standards. In agricultural areas, nitrates range from 0.1 to 6.0 mg/l. Ground water sampling has been conducted at Miami International Airport since 1984. Chloride concentrations are elevated in the northeast corner of the airport, probably due to saltwater intrusion from the Miami Canal. Cadmium, chromium, and lead are in compliance with DEP groundwater guidance concentrations, with a few exceptions mainly in shallow groundwater monitoring wells, However, large concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and dissolved hydrocarbons have been detected. Of the 27 VOC compounds analyzed, vinyl chloride is considered the greatest threat to groundwater quality. High concentrations of vinyl chloride are attributable to the improper disposal of common degreasing compounds which in the process of biodegradation create vinyl chloride as a by-product. Since 1984, the number of monitoring wells has increased to 102 wells in and around the airport specifically for VOC monitoring. Two distinct VOC plumes are present, and several air strippers are in operation to treat groundwater. Most landfills permitted by the State must perform routine groundwater quality monitoring. The Department of Solid Waste collects samples from monitoring wells located upgradient, within and downgradient of each of the landfills operated by Dade County, with the support of the City of Miami. Ground water monitoring is also being done at the following closed dumps: Surside, Munisport and the 58 Street landfill. Typically, the contaminants associated with landfills and closed dumps are ammonia, phenol and heavy metals. Intensive studies at the South Dade County Landfill and Old South Dade Dump have confirmed that both landfills are major contributors of potentially toxic levels of ammonia in the L-31 E and Goulds Canals. 8/28/95 Page-Vl-18 95- 830 Water Quality Sampling in Agricultural Areas. During 1994. wells in South Dade were sampled quarterly for agricultural related parameters. A 30 well subset of this monitoring network has been included in the State (DEP) Ambient Ground Water program since 1988. In response to detections of the herbicide atrazine in surface and ground water throughout the country, private drinking water wells were sampled by DERM and a consultant for Ciba-Geigy, a manufacturer of atrazine. The sampling was done in December of 1993 at eleven homes located immediately adjacent to corn fields, where atrazine may have been used. DERM's samples were below the detection limit of 0.907 mg/l for atrazine. However, Ciba-Geigy's lab was able to achieve a lower detection limit and detected atrazine or one of its breakdown products in five of the home wells sampled. The detections ranged from 0.11 tig/1 to 0.29 ug/1. In 1993, ground water was sampled from open, uncased agricultural wells located in the South Dade agricultural area. The results revealed five detections of nitrate, six detections of manganese, and two detections of copper which exceeded ground water standards, and four detections of pesticides which exceeded state ground water guidance concentrations. In total, the samples revealed 38 detections of pesticide residues. Effluent and/or ground water samples are also collected at produce packing houses. Arsenic exceeded the ground water standard at one packing house. After documenting exceedances of the discharge standard for copper, DERM required the owners of two packing houses to install monitoring wells and collect ground water samples for copper Biomonitoring.. In 1994, DERM completed a biomonitoring study at 12 sites in the waters surrounding the South Dade Landfill. The study showed lower than expected algal growth given the amount of nutrients in the water. No acute toxicity to the water flea, Daphnia magna, was found even though unionized ammonia levels exceeded the 0.02 mg/1 standard at six locations. Total ammonia exceeded the 0.5 mg/1 standard at six sites during the winter months Fish Tissue Analyses. In 1993, DERM began collecting fish tissue samples for metal analyses in conjunction with the Intensive Canal monitoring program. To date, fish tissue data are available from the Snake Creek, Little River, and Biscayne canals. Results indicate that the Little River Canal, at times, does not meet the water quality standards for coliform bacteria, ammonia, 8/28/95 Page-V I-19 95- 830 certain metals and dissolved oxygen. The low levels of dissolved oxygen, in particular, may be why very few fish are present in the eastern portion of the Little River canal. Although water quality in the Snake Creek and Biscayne canals generally meets standards, mercury levels in Florida Gar samples were high levels in large Bass were sufficiently high to limit human consumption. Redear Sunfish and Mullet samples had safe levels. Sediment Sampling. Sediment data indicate that sites in the Miami and Tamiami canals near Miami International Airport and in the Coral Gables Waterway at the University of Miami have the greatest diversity of elevated metals. At these and other locations, lead is the most prominent metal detected. However, the highest overall concentrations of lead, have been measured in dovmstream locations in the Little River and Arch Creek Canals. Wellfield Protection. The Northwest Wellfield Plan. adopted in 1985, outlined a procedure for retracting the eastern segment of the protection boundary once the canal improvements had been made and their effects were verified by field measurements and groundwater modeling. On May 18, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 93-54 which modified the wellfield protection area boundaries for the Northwest Wellfield, and for the proposed West Wellfield, and the Florida Key Aqueduct Wellfield. The revised Northwest Wellfield Protection Area Boundary was based upon field data, the best groundwater model available and an assumed pumpage rate of 220 million gallons per day. The modeling assumptions also incorporated more severe drought conditions than those used in the 1985 wellfield plan and updated aquifer characterizations provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. In July 1989, the Board of County Commissioners enacted the West Wellfield Interim Protection Ordinance which defined a protection area boundary based on two potential wellfield locations (either SW 172 or SW 167 Avenues). Since that time, the groundwater model has been improved to better delineate the chosen alignment along theoretical SW 172 Avenue. The protection area defined in 1989 was based upon a 0.25 foot groundwater drawdown contour for 140 million gallons per date rate of pumpage. The revised protection area boundary is more conservatively defined by the 0.10 foot drawdown. The area included in the revised protection boundary extends north of the Tamiami Trail, east of SW 147 Avenue and 600 feet south of Canal 1 W. The revised protection area for the Florida Keys Aqueduct Wellfield is based upon an increase in the maximum pumpage permitted by the South Florida Water Management District from 10.59 million gallons per day to 19.77 million gallons per day. It extends 8/28/95 Page-V 1-20 9�- 830 north of Palm Drive to approximately SW 339 Street, east to approximately SW 188 Avenue, south to SW 364 Street and west to approximately SW 205 Avenue. The other modifications reflect the use of the 210-day travel distance to define the protection area boundaries of all of the remaining urban Wellfield except the Alexander Orr and the Hialeah -Miami Springs complex protection boundaries, which are based on ground -water drawdowns under maximum day pumpage. A new monitoring netv,ork is scheduled for construction in 1995 for the City of North Miami Beach's Norwood-Oeffler Wellfield. A new wellfield protection network has been designed for the Hialeah/Preston Wellfield to replace existing corroded monitoring wells and to add more sampling sites. A monitoring well network is being planned for the City of North Miami's Westside Wellfield. Dade County and theCity of Miami are presently evaluating the feasibility of defining new Maximum Wellfield Protection Zones. These would be modeled based on maximum zone, such as 500 days or two years, to reflect on average, the time between discovery of contamination and satisfactory clean-up of contaminated soil groundwater based on DERM case files. Aquifer Recharge. Because of their hydrologic and biologic value, most of the remaining undeveloped wetland areas in Dade County and the City of Miami are designated for environmental protection or as open land on the County's Land Use Plan Map. All except portions of the Bird Drive, North Trail and East Turnpike Basins are outside of the Urban Development Boundary where the maximum allowable density is one dwelling unit per five acres. It has been County policy since 1975 to maintain the aquifer recharge potential of these wetlands. Since 1984, Dade County DERM has enforced cut and fill criteria for most of the remaining undevelopment wetlands within the Urban Development Boundary. The cut and fill criteria for the Bird Drive and North Trail Basins generally require about 30% of a site to be set aside to retain stormwater runoff on -site. This, in effect, also maintains the aquifer recharge capacity of these areas. More recently, cut and fill criteria have been developed for the remaining undeveloped portions of northwestern Dade County west of 97 Avenue and east of the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike. In 1994, the National Audubon Society proposed that a buffer be constructed along the eastern edge of the water conservation areas and the expanded boundary of Everglades National Park. This concept, called the East Coast Buffer plan, was evaluated by the South Florida Water Management District as part of its Lower East Coast (LEC) Water Supply Planning Project. The District determined that the area of Dade County north of the Tamiami Trail and west of the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike has the 8/28/95 Page-VI-21 95- 830 highest aquifer recharge potential of any area within the East Coast Buffer. The transmissivity of this area is further enhanced by the fact that more than 3,000 acres have been excavated for commercial lirnerock mining operations. Flood Protection/Drainage. In 1994, DERM staff produced a study to determine how well the current one in five year criterion works during a twenty-five year storm. Basically, the study evaluated how well a system designed to accommodate six inches of rainfall in a 24 hour period would operate with nine inches if rain fall in 24 hours. The study concluded that there would be 75 minutes of ponding on site during the 25 year stonn, but that adequate flood protection would be provided during the 25 year storm. However, 0.23 acre feet of stormwater would overflow from a "typical" developed single family house lot during the first 24 hours of the 25 year storm. This water would flow into the secondary and primary canal systems, and ultimately into coastal waters. The pinelands are fire dependent. In the absence of fire they will succeed into hardwood hammocks. Over 50 woody plant species and 200 herbaceous and gramminoid species, including four federally listed species, are found in the pinelands. Fifty-five of these plant species are endemic to the pinelands of Dade County. The species in these areas are unique due to the lirnerock substrate and the subtropical climate which allows temperate and tropical species to coexist. Tropical hardwood hammocks are characterized by a large number of plant species with ranges that extend into the Caribbean. As one proceeds from north to south in Dade County, the proportion of tropical species in the harmocks increases. The cold sensitive hammocks in southern Dade County may have as many as 35 species of trees and 65 species of shrubs. Typical plants include: strangler figs, mastic, gumbo -limbo, stoppers, lancewood, poisonwood, pigeon plum, live oaks, paradise trees, and satin leaf. The remaining hammocks in north Dade County are more typically oak hammocks. Several tropical hardwood hammock trees provide food for endangered wildlife species. he white crowned pigeon feeds on poisonwood fruits, liguus tree snails feed on the algae that grow on the moist trunks of hammock trees like the gumbo limbo. The extremely rare Schaus swallowtail butterfly feeds on torchwood and wildlime trees in the hammocks of the upper Florida Key. In May 1990, the voters of Dade County approved a referendum that imposed a two year special tax to fund the acquisition of environmentally endangered lands. The tax generated $90 million that is being used to acquire and manage endangered pinelands, hammocks and wetlands. By early 1995, the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program (EELP) had spent $23,000,00 to acquire approximately 430 acres at 22 sites throughout the County. 8/28/95 Page-V I-22 95- 830 There are more than 6,000 of natural areas in Dade County/City of Miami park lands in 63 locations throughout the County, and the City of Miami. While some of the larger areas are coastal wetlands, there are significant pinelands and hammocks included in this 6,000 acre inventory. Both the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program and the Park and Recreation Department's Natural Areas Program emphasize active site management. Staff from the Dade DERM, Park and Recreation and Planning Departments have produced general management plans identifying the goals, objectives and appropriate management actions for the endangered pinelands and hammocks that remain on the Coastal Ridge in Dade County, and site specific plans are being developed for each of the acquired forest sites. Fish and Wild Iife/Endanfered Species. The are currently 14 federally listed endangered species and five federally listed threatened species that reside in Dade Count, including the City of Miami. Critical habitat has been designated in the City of Miami and Dade County for four of the endangered species: the American crocodile, the Cape Sable seaside sparrow, the Everglades snail kite and the West Indian manatee, and recovery plans have been written for the American crocodile, the West Indian manatee, panter, bald eagle, indigo snake, all of the listed sea turtles, snail kite and wood stork. Twenty- nine additional species are candidates for federal listing. The current federal list only contains six endangered plants from Dade County including the City of Miami: Beach jacquemontia, Deltoid spurge, Crenulate lead plant, Pineland milkpea, Small's milkpea and Tiny polygala. Five of the six are found exclusively in pinelands. The Garber's spurge, also a pineland species, is listed as threatened. The federal list includes 34 additional species, found in Dade County and the City of Miami that are candidates for federal listing. By comparison, the State of Florida endangered, threatened and rate species lists includes 119 plant species found in Dade County and the City of Miami Eighty-four of these species are listed as endangered, 12 species are listed as threatened and 23 as rare. The majority of these plants are herbaceous and gramminoid species that reside in the remnant pinelands in south Dade County. Exotic Plants and Animals. There are presently 35 plant species on the Exotic Pest Plant List that are found in Dade County including the City of Miami. During the past three decades south Florida has experienced explosive growth of several exotic plant species, most notably Brazilian pepper, Australian pine and Melaleuca. Thousands of acres in western and southern Dade County have been invaded by these pest plants. For example, aerial photos of the Bird Drive Basin taken in 1960 show almost 8/28/95 Page-V I-23 95- 830 no presence of Melaleuca, but by 1988 almost 40% of the basin had been impacted this invasive trees. While less known than the "Big Three" several other exotic species became serious threats to natural areas after Hurricane Andrew. Of 50 ft. exotic pest plants that threatened our native tropical hammocks, the worst are Chinese fever vine. Air potato, Jasmine and Wood rose. After Andrew, thes vines rapidly grew over downed trees and threatened to smothered the native trees. With funds from the Knight Foundation and the State of Florida, field crews were put to work removing vines from the four hardest hit hammocks: Castello, Matheson, Snapper Creek and Deering. Slotivly, these forests are being restored. As the vines are cut, the native trees and slirubs regrow and native hammock species seedlings germinate. Wildlife is returning to the hammocks, as well. UPDATED LEVEL, OF SERVICE ANALYSIS. Most of the older primary canals in north Dade County and the City of Miami were designed to accommodate a 100 year storm, but these areas had urbanized substantially since the canals were constructed during the first quarter of this century to the point where some of the more poorly drained areas had about one in five year flood protection. For that reason, the County adopted the one in five year criterion as its base level of service in 1988. Since that time, Dade County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami has initiated a stormwater master planning process that will determine the actual level of service being provided by the primary canals and sub -basins within those canals in the unincorporated portions of Dade County. However, that detailed level of knowledge will not be available for most of the primary canals until after the year 2000. At that time, it will be possible to establish a more definitive Flood Protection Level of Service (FPLOS) for each major canal system and for the sub -basins with those systems. In the meantime, it is prudent to retain the original LOS for the older developed areas of north Dade County, and to adopt a higher LOS of one in ten year flood protection for areas of south Dade where most of the primary canal basins are less than 50% developed at present. In those areas, it is possible to design stormwater drainage systems that do not decrease the LOS of the primary canal below its original design capacity. Because of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System mandates published by EPA in 1991 and because State Rule 9J-5 now requires local comprehensive plans to do so, it is also necessary to address the water quality component of stormwater runoff. 8/28/95 Page-VI-24 95-- 830 ONGOING PIaANNING ACTIVITIES Air Quality. In 1993, Dade County,within the City of Miami in conjunction with its local counterpark air programs in Broward and Palm Beach Counties requested that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) redesignate the tri-county area as an ozone attainment and maintenance area. The request was officially submitted through a revised State Implementation flan (SIP) that was submitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). In April 1995, EPA approved the redesignation. Now the tri-county area must maintain all emission reductions programs currently in effect as well as maintain emissions at or below 1990 levels through the year 2005. Failure to maintain the emission levels at or below 1990 values, or occurrence of an exceedance will automatically trigger new, stricter emission reduction requirements, such as mandated use of reformulated gasoline or oxygenated fuels. Other emission reduction measures are described in the revised SIP. Current programs administered by Dade County DERM's Air Section "N,hich are included in the maintenance plan include the Stratospheric Ozone Protection (CFC) and Stage II Vapor Recovery Plans. DERM has also developed a Multi -Year Development Plan for the control of toxic polluants in Dade County, Florida. This plan is based on cooperation between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the local air program managed by DERM in accordance with EPA requirements. Each of these programs is discussed in more detail in the section titled, New Issues and Unanticipated Problems and Opportunities. Aquifer Recharge. There are several ongoing studies that address aquifer recharge in Dade County, and the City of Miami. In 1994, as part of the Lower East Coast Water Supply planning process, the South Florida Water Management District evaluated the East Coast Buffer concept that was proposed by the National Audobon Society. The proposed buffer would extend along the eastern edges of the Water Conservation Areas in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties and along the eastern edge of the Everglades National Park Expansion area in south Dade County. Over 75% of the proposed buffer area is in northwestern Dade County and the City of Miami where the Biscayne Aquifer is highly transmissive, and therefore, the aquifer recharge potential is very high. The high transmissivity and aquifer recharge potential in this area pose a number of long term challenges, and possible opportunities, for Dade County and the City of Miami. First, the County's largest potable water wellfield is located there. The high aquifer transmissivity, coupled with the almost total inter -connectedness of the surface and ground waters, makes protection of this vital public water supply an extremely high priority for Dade County and the City of Miami. In 1990 six rockmining companies joined forces to develop a plan for the Lake Belt area in northwest Dade County west of the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike, east of the water conservation areas and north of the Tamiami Trail. "rile conceptual plan that they produced envisions 24,000 acres of lakes, with 17,000 acres of littoral zones and a 13,000 acre wetland preservation area. Water Storage. There are several potential methods for storing more water in the Lake Belt area: back pumping with a system of dikes and levees; Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR), where "excess" water is pumped into the lower Florida Aquifer during the rainy season and recovered during the dry season; and a seepage barrier, or curtain wall, which would cut off some, or all of the groundwater flow through and out of this region. This District has modeled the backpumping concept and has done some preliminary modeling of a seepage barrier. As of early 1995, it is apparent that each of these concepts needs additional study. Models needs to be run to get a better grasp of the potential costs and benefits. Cost to benefit ratio estimates need to include long term operation and maintenance costs, costs associated with maintaining water quality to protect the northwest wellfield and potential impacts to other parts of the regional system. For example, a seepage barrier may work, but it may exacerbate salt intrusion in the downstream portion of the aquifer to the extent that the County's other wellfields may be in jeopardy. Because of the high potential costs, each if these concepts should be field tested for several years to determine yields, and potential drawbacks. Flood Protection/Drainage. In 1991, Dade County with the support ofthe City of Miami established a stormwater utility to better define the existing stormwater system in the unincorporated area, identify major problems and recommend ways to reduce the worst drainage and flooding impacts. Dade County with the support and collaboratio of the City of Miami have launched an aggressive approach for developing a stormwater master plan that will encompass all of the unincorporated areas of Dade County that are within the drainage basins of the primary canal system. Criteria have been developed to rank and prioritize problem areas and proposed improvements, and best management practices have been identified. As of December 1994, the first basin project (C-9) was completed and work had begun on the Biscayne Canal (C-7), the Little River Canal (C-8) and the Snake Creek (C-9) basins. These canals basin, plus all of the major canal basins from SW 152 Street south are expected to be completed by 2005. The goals of the stormwater master planning process are: 1. To qualify the flood protection and water quality levels of service currently provided. 2. To reduce urban stormwater pollutant loads discharged to the environment. 3. To meet all applicable regulatory requirements. 8/28/95 Page-VI-26 95- 830 M 4. To provide a rationale for the flood protection and water quality LOS that will be included in the MNCPfor concurrency purposes. 5. To develop plans for future stormwater facilities that will improve the level of flood protection and water quality, where necessary. 6. To prioritize identified storniNvater facility needs. It is projected that the County's Stormwater utility will expend more than twenty-five million dollars for capital improvements by 1997.

MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, AND THE LOCATION OF LAND USES AND THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF 'THESE PROBLEMS. This analysis addresses three items that specifically affect the Conservation, Aquifer Recharge and Drainage EIement. Those items are: Maintenance and/or achievement of adequate level of service standards for drainage Most of the older primary canals in north Dade County including the City of Miami were designed to accommodate a 100 year storm. However, these areas have been largely developed since the canals were constructed during the first quarter of this century. The storm of October 1991, dramatically pointed out that several areas in western Dade County have very poor flood protection. Positive, or direct drainage system were installed in most areas of the County that were developed prior to the 1980s, As the amount of impervious surface increased, the level of flood protection decreased to the point where some of the more poorly drained areas had about one in five year flood protection. For that reason, the County adopted the one in five year criterion as its base level of service in 1988. At that time there was no requirement for a water quality level of service standard. In 1993, Dade County with the support and collaboration of the City of Miami initiated a stormwater master planning process that will determine the actual level of service being provided by the primary canals and sub -basins within those canals in the unincorporated portions of Dade County. As soon as the level of service is known, it will be possible to establish a definitive Flood Protection Level of Service (FPLOS) for each major canal system and for the sub -basins within those systems. At this time it is recommended that the original one in five year FPLOS standards be retained for the older developed areas of north Dade County until storinwater master plans have been finished and the actual levels of service for the primary canals and sub - basins within those canals are known. At that time it will be possible to establish a more definitive and defensible FPLOS. The master plans for the C-9, C-8 and C-7 basins are scheduled to be completed by the year 2000. 8/28/95 Page-VI-29 95- 830 It is also recommended that a higher FPLOS of one in ten year flood protection be adopted for areas of south Dade where most of the primary canal basins are less than 50% developed. In those areas, it is possible to design stormwater drainage systems that will not decrease the FPLOS of the primary canal below the original system design, which was for protection from a one in ten year storm. It is also necessary to address the water quality component of stormwater runoff, because of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System mandates published by EPA in 1991 and requirements of Chapter 9J-5. FAC. It is recommended that the Waste Quality Level of Service (WQLOS) will be met when the annual average for each of the twelve (12) priority NPDES pollutants does not exceed the target criterion for each of the priority pollutants within a canal basins. or sub -basin. Location of Development in Relation to Maintenance of environmentally sensitive areas. Since 1975 the City of Miami has limited development in Environmentally Sensitive areas to one dwelling unit per five acres. Social and Economic effects of maintenance and/or achievement of adequate level of service standards/the location of development in relation to maintenance of environmentally sensitive areas. Decreased flood protection causes damage to structures and property and public health concerns when combined sanitary and storm sewers back up and overflow. To address these problems, stormwater utility fees have been added to water and sewer bills. In the coming decade, Dade County will spend several million dollars to correct flooding and water quality problems that have developed because the older sections of the County and the City were developed without adequate stormwater infrastructure. The limitations that Dade County has placed oil development in environmentally sensitive areas has preserved some of south Florida's natural heritage and scarce water storage capacity for the benefit of future generations. These areas were designated as environmentally sensitive because they are biologically and hydrologically important, not only to the citizens of Dade County, but nationally and internationally. Designating these areas for very low intensity uses has allowed the County to place top priority on providing infrastructure and services to areas within the Urban Development Boundary. If wetlands in far western of southern Dade County had been allowed to urbanize, the necessary expenditures for roads, flood protection, water and sewer facilities, and to replace lost water would have been enormous. UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES. Unanticipated Problem Hurricane Andrew On August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew severely impacted all of the remaining tropical hardwood and pine rocklands in southern Dade County. Trees were snapped off and the canopy was removed. In the months following the Hurricanes, almost 90% of the mature pine trees in south Dade County died as a result of insect damage, but the Hurricane did not damage the understory vegetation. In the hammocks, the canopy was damaged, but few trees were killed. However, exotic vines rapidly invaded wherever light gaps occurred, and shade loving ground cover species, including some rare, endemic ferns declined due to the decrease in moisture levels. Since Hurricane Andrew, Dade County has aggressively worked to curtail the explosive exotic plant invasions that threaten all of our remaining native plant communities. In 1993, the Dade County Park and Recreation Department received a $5.4 million grant from the McArthur Foundation and a $.5 grant from the night Foundation which have enabled it to field crews to cut back and herbicide the massive growths of vines that threatened to completely overrun some of the County's finest hammocks. Throughout the past 18 months, crews have been working to save the hammocks at Matheson Park, Castello, Snapper Creek and the Deering Estate. The US Fish and Wildlife Service granted Dade County funds to provide technical assistance to public agencies for plant community restoration on public lands and. endangered plant recovery activities on private lands. The first step was the development of a pine rockland restoration and long term management plan; this was followed with workshops and hands on demonstrations, which have been attended by over 200 private land owners. Site visits with more than 50 private property owners have taken place and several homeowner groups have taken place and several homeowner groups have set up workdays supervised by DERM biologists to guide them in their restoration work. DERM staff have assisted in developing management plans for private sites. A Natural Area Newsletter keeps interested parties informed of work throughout the County and stresses the fact that although the forests are damaged, they are not destroyed. 8/28/95 Page-VI-31 95-- 830 Immediately following Hurricane Andrew, biologists collected cones from trees in Long Pine Ivey in Everglades National Park. The seeds were processed by the State Division of Forestry and in August 1994, 8,000 pine seedlings were planted in the Tarniarni Pinelands and in appropriate privately owned sites in south Dade County. During the coming year, more pine seedlings will be planted oil public lands and seedlings will be made available to private land owners. Evaluation of the effect on the adopted element of changes to Chapter 163, part 1I, F.S.; Rule 9J-5, F.A.C.; the State Comprehensive Plan; and the Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan EFFECTS OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 6, F.A.C. requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to the state growth management policies expressed in 1) Section 187.02, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan, 2) the applicable strategic regional policy plan, 3) Chapter 163, Park II, F.S., the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land development Regulations Act, and 4) Chapter 9J-5, the Minimum Criteria For Review of Local Government Plans. Changes that have occurred since 1988 are summarized below. Changes made prior to 1988 were addressed during the preparation of the element prior to its adoption on 1988. Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plan", which will, in effect replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council is scheduled to adopt its strategic plan by August 1995. A February draft if the strategic plan was reviewed during the preparation of EAR for consistency. If the strategic plan is modified to the extent that there will be inconsistencies with this EAR report, then changes will be proposed to remedy those inconsistencies during the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREIHENSIVE PLAN The 1993 version of the State Comprehensive Plan includes a new goal tinder (6) Health to achieve an environment that supports a healthy population. Policies under that goal address the right to drink pure water and breath clean air, monitoring and regulating activities that impact air and water quality and ensuring that future growth does not affect the environment in a manner that will adversely affect the health of the population. The section on Agriculture has also been amended to include a policy to eliminate the discharge of inadequately treated stormwater into waters of the state. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163 AND CHAPTER 9J5 Local Government Comprehensive Planning Laws (Ch. 163. F.S., and Ch. 9J-5, F.A.C.) There have been no amendments on Ch. 163, F.S. that affect the Conservation, Aquifer Recharge and Drainage Element of the MNCP. However, Administrative Rule 9J-5.011 now requires that local governments establish water quality standards for stormwater. In doing so, local governments must take Ch. 17-40 F.A.C. into consideration, and may adopt Ch. 17-25, F.A.C. by reference, if they choose to do so. CONSISTENCY WITH REGIONAL PLAN OF SOUTH FLORIDA The draft Strategic Regional Policy Plan emphasizes the importance of Resources of Regional Significance, such as national parks and preserves, water conservation areas and large regional parklands. It includes eight goals that address the following issues: 8128/95 Eliminating inappropriate land uses and improving the connectedness among and between Natural Resources of Regional Significance. Developing an efficient, sustainable all ocation of regional resources. Improving air quality through increased use of natural planting reduction in transportation related impacts. Improving upland habitat protection; maximizing the between the wetland and upland communities. Promoting environmentally sensitive use of Natural Resources of Regional Significance. Increasing funds for acquisition, protection, restoration and maintenance of Resources of Regional Significance and suitable adjacent areas. Increasing awareness natural systems and their regional significance Enhancing and preserving shoreline, benthic communities, fisheries and coastal habitats. Page-VI-33 95- 830 Each goal is followed by several policies and specific benchmarks. Does not EAR identify needed actions to address the planning issues raised in the report? CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS In 1992, the Florida Legislature established a committee comprised of members from Dade County, federal, state and regional agencies, environmental and rockmining interests to implement the plan. The Committee placed a priority on obtaining baseline data in order to determine how this area should be configured, what mitigation credits and benefits should be applied and who should pay. Vegetative mapping has been completed and a two year study of the wetland and wildlife values of the area is underway. The US Army Corps of Engineers is developing a programmatic Envirorimental Impact Statement to integrate all of the studies and evaluations. The plan evaluation phase is expected to be completed by 1997. For the past three years, the Lake Belt and Lower East Coast planning projects have been proceeding on parallel courses. It has become clear that Dade County needs additional sources of public water supply and that the Lake Belt area may become a major part of the County's water supply solution, if this highly transmissive area can be made to store water and if the County's northwest wellfield can be protected. CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS Since the adoption of this Element in 1988, the City of Miami has implemented all objectives and all policies should be revised to specify the implementation of programs and activities, Recommendations The objectives must be measurable. Revise all objectives to obtain measurability. All objectives should support an adequate analysis. All Goals should remain unchanged. 8128/95 Page-VI-34 95- 830 Table V.12 ENDANGERED, THREATENED, RARE AND WILDLIFE SPECIES OF SPECIAL CONCERN IN DAD COUNTY Species Status BIRDS Wood Stock _ l ndanocred N:US E.FL Everglade Kite Gndan_:cred E ;

Total potable water use in the County area system increased by about ten percent during the period, and the City of Miami that is served by the system increased by about five percent. The City's sewer system also remained largely unchanged, with three wastewater treatment facilities operated by the County. Total demand of these facilities increased about eighteen percent during the period 1989-1994. Achievement of Objectives The City of Miami did well in the achieving the following objectives of the Water and Sewer Subelement during the 1989-1994 evaluation period. 1. The coordination of water and sewer provision and land use. The installation of new water and sewer services was confined within the City of Miami System development policies successfully supported orderly land development patterns and redevelopment. 2. The elimination and prevention of system deficiencies in the provision of potable water. 4. The consolidation of existing water and sewer systems in to the County system, particularly private water production and distribution utilities and private sewage treatment facilities. This contributed to environmental protection and system efficiency. The City of Miami and Dade County made only modest progress in achieving the following objectives of the Water and Sewer Subelement: 2. The elimination and prevention of system deficiencies in the provision of sanitary sewer service. 95- 830 Page-VII-2 j t i 5. Implementation and public acceptance of water conservation measures. i Current Issues Among the key current issues in the Water and Sewer Subelement EAR are the following: • Raw water availability, especially from Biscayne Aquifer. • Increasing need to reserve raw water Biscayne Bay coastline. • Lack of Countywide and Citywide consensus over role of water conservation efforts. i Recommendations i The key recommendations of the Water and Sewer Subelement EAR are the following: 1. Divide the Water, Sewer Element into a separate Water and Sewer Element. Place greater emphasis on the need to guarantee long-term water supplies through a program balancing conservation, wellfield development, and the use of new and innovative technologies through the creation of an environmental protection objective and a water supply objective. 95- 830 page-VII-4 s INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTCONDITIONS AT 'TIME OF ADOPTION DATA & ANALYSIS Storm Sewer/ Waste Water- Sub Element Allocated Proportional Capacity Needs Asses sment/Capacit), Assessment: Wastewater flows for the entire WASA service area and its subcomponents were estimated and projected in the 201 Plan by relating present and future population and land use estimates to the corresponding wastewater generation factors. For these calculations, the relative locations of the planning subareas and the wastewater collection zone boundaries were taken into account (see Figure I.4). Wastewater flows were projected f'or each wastewater collection zone. Wastewater is transported to the treatment facilities via the transmission network illustrated in Figure I.8. The major components of the transmission system located within the City are not deemed to require enhancement in order to service the increasing flows anticipated through the year 2005. The methodology used to project future wastewater treatment demands was tested for its relative accuracy in predicting the actual 1985 flows projected using this methodology were approximately equal to the sum of the average flows at WASA's North, Central and South District plants. It was, therefore, concluded that this methodology was reasonable. The projected future demand for wastewater treatment in those collection zones which at least partly encompass areas lying within City of Miami boundaries are given in Table 1.4. From this table it is apparent that the demand on wastewater treatment facilities is expected to increase over time. This increase stems primarily from an increase in the proportion of land area serviced by sewers (.rather than by private collection systems), and not from significant increases in residential density or major land use changes. Although, the demand for service from City areas are expected to grow, these demands are not expected to place a disproportionate burden on the entire system. It is also apparent that major capital improvements in the transmission network within the City are not required either to meet existing deficiencies in service or to support future population growth or land use changes. C. Sanitary Seaver - The Allocated Proportional Capacity The Allocated Proportional Capacity Was Not Included as a part of this Sub -Element of the Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan. 95- 830 Page-VII-5 Groundwater Recharge - Allocated Proportional Capacity. The Groundwater Recharge Capacity are listed below (per facility) Portable Water - Allocated Proportional Capacity The Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department provides retail water service to approximately 212.000 customers throughout Dade County, and wholesale water service to twelve municipalities that in turn serve approximately 107,000 customers. The Metro - Dade Water and Sewer [Jtility, ok n cd by Dade County and operated by Department management, provides retail water services to an additional 68,000 customers. Oil a. combined wholesale and retail basis, the Department provides water service to approximately 90 percent of the County's population (1.6 million persons), with some 387,000 customers. Presently, there is not a separate customer service breakdown of water usage for the municipalities serviced by the Miami -Dade Neater and Sewer Authority Department, including the City of Miami. Data regarding the number of customers and their water usage by geographic location is not currently available. The projected treatment capacities of the facilities are designed to accommodate projected growth, and the planned capacities are periodically reviewed and updated. Historical data on water consumption indicates that peak demand for water in Dade County is 224 gallons per person per day (GPCD), while average demand has been 187 GPCD. This figure includes both residential and nonresidential uses of water. WASA's capital facilities planning has been based on peak demand projections that are consistent with historical demand data and county population projections. WASA divides the countywide service area into two (interconnected) districts: the Hialeah/Preston treatment plant (or northern) district and the Alexander Orr treatment plan (or southern) district. City residents are served by both facilities. Capacity and demand projections, along with estimates of the City's share of total demand appears in Table IV. I. The projections of City of Miami demand were made using the same methodologhy as that employed by WASA in making the system -wide projections. Regulatory Framework Federal: The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (PL 92-500) is the controlling national legislation relating to the provision of sanitary sewer service. The goal of this act is the restoration and/or maintenance of the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nation's waters. The act established the national policy of implementing areawide waste treatment and management programs to ensure adequate control of sources of pollutants. Under Section 201 of PI 92-500, grants are made available to local governments to construct facilities to treat "point sources" of pollution, which include effluent from 95- 830 Page-V II-6 sewage treatment processes. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for implementing the act. State:The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) is responsible for ensuring that the State carries out. responsibilities assigned to it under PL 92-500. FDER has adopted rules for the regulation of wasteNvater facilities in Chapter 17-6, F.A.C. These rules to facilities which treat flows exceeding 5,000 gallons per day for domestic establishments, 3.000 gallons and where the sewage contains industrial or toxic or hazardous chemical wastes. The Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitation Services (HRS) regulates septic tank and drainfield installation with the state. These requirements have been adopted by rule in Chapter I0D-6, F.A.C. Local:The provision of sanitary sewer service to the City of Miami is also the responsibility of the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department (WASA). The City is responsible only for the design and construction of the sewer collection system within the City limits, while WASH is responsible for the sanitary sewer systems. City financial resources are used for the construction and renovation of transmission facilities within the City's boundaries. County financial resources are used for the construction of treatment facilities. General revenue bonds are the primary financing mechanism used by local governments to field system improvements, and both the City and County appear to have sufficient bonding capacity to meet the foreseeable future needs. D-2 Storm Sewers and Drainage - Identification of Public & Private Facilities The City of Miami is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the storm drainage system within the municipal limits, thus City Officials have embarked upon a program to relieve flooding conditions in twenty-seven specific areas. This ambitious capital improvement program identified the need for a coordinated master drainage plan for the City. Through developing a comprehensive drainage master plan, a coordinated program was identified which provides a uniform and most desired level of flood protection throughout the entire City. D-3 Groundwater Recharge - Identification of Public & Private Facilities The principal regulatory programs are the "Clean Water Act", the "Resource Conservation and Recovery Act" and the "Safe Drinking Water Act". Under these regulations, federal and state water controlling pollution forms sources such as land disposal of liquid, solid, and hazardous waste; septic systems and cesspools; saltwater intrusion from groundwater depletion; and activities such as oil production, irrigation, accidental spills and mining. In 1986, the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (PL 93-523) was amended to system wellfrelds and aquifers that are the sole source of drinking water for a community. The amendments for wellfreld protection require community. The 95- 830 Page-VII-7 amendments for wellfield protection require states to work with local governments to map wellhead areas and develop land use controls that will provide long-term protection from aquifer protection amendments require EPA to develop criteria for selecting critical aquifer protection areas. The program calls for state and local governments to map these areas and develop protection plans, subject to EPA review and approval. DA Portable Water - Identification of Public & Private Facilities State: In this regard, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) has promulgated rules classifying and regulating public water systems under Chapter 17-22 of the F.A.C. The primary and secondary standards of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act are mandatory in Florida. The regional South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is responsible for managing water supplies to meet existing and future demands. Regulation of consumptive use is achieved through a permitting system, through which water resources are allocated among the permitted consumers. Local: The Water and Sewer Authority Department of Metro Dade County (WASA), is responsible for enforcement of the programs required by the FDER regulations. Water quality and production records are submitted by the Public Works Department to the Pollution Control Division for determination of compliance with FDER regulations. F) Potable Water/Groundwater Recharge - Existing & Projected Facility Needs The Biscayne Aquifer is highly permeable, and permits rapid infiltration of rainfall. It is, therefore, vulnerable to contamination by substances carried downward by recharge water, and is subject to contamination from several sources other than by saltwater intrusion. Pollution of groundwater can result from many activities. Principal sources of contamination in Dade County include stormwater runoff, septic tank effluents, solid waste disposal areas, sewage treatment effluent and leaking sewer lines. Stormwater runoff from urban areas is a major source of contamination of groundwater supplies [direct infiltration of runoff from buildings, yards, paved areas.] Runoff from urban areas causes deterioration of the quality of canal water and to a lesser extent, groundwater. Pollution from runoff is greatest where large proportions of the surface area are paved. Stormwater runoff enters the canal systems by overland flow and through storm drain outfalls. Through infiltration frcm the canal system and via the direct discharge of stormwater into deep wells, stormwater runoff is introduced into the groundwater. Septic tank effluent/drain field systems can also be a major sources of contamination of the groundwater. Between 85 and 90 percent of the City, however, is served by sanitary sewers. Current capital projects are under way or have been planned which will lead to the entire City being sewered by 1992. Solid -waste disposal areas (municipal landfills or dumps) which contain improperly disposed hospital waste, toxic waste, or used by 95s 830 Page-VII-8 companies that engage in illegal dumping of septic tank waste, can also lead to contamination. No land fills or dumps, however, are located within the City's boundaries. Effluent from sewage treatment plants and leaking sewer mains are another potential source of groundwater contamination. Sewage trcatment and the maintenance of the sewer network is the responsibility of Metro -Dade WASA. One Sewage treatment plant is located within the City's Boundaries. Effluent from this plant is not discharged into the aquifer recharge area. Metro -Dade County has developed a comprehensive program to protect the potable water resources of the area. It consists of the following four major elements: 1. Groundwater Monitoring Program - this program includes groundwater, canal water, drinking water, landfill and Miami International Airport monitoring programs. The programs are evaluated every three years. 2. Wastewater Treatment - Regionalization of the system is almost accomplished. Demand is close to the design capacity which has led to programmed expansion of the regional treatment plants to meet actual demand. 3. Land Use Policy and Zoning - A Wellfield Protection Ordinance was established in 1983 to protect wellfields from contaminants. This program regulates the intensity and type of development occurring around wellfields and their "cone of influence." "Cone of Influence" is an induced depression of the groundwater level which is formed in a aquifer due to the withdrawal of water by means of well pumpage. Within the confines of protection zones, land uses surrounding public water supplies areas have been regulated in an effort to restrict those activities with a significant potential for contaminating groundwater supplies. 4. Environmental Regulations and Enforcement - Metro -Dade County DERM establishes policies, standards, and regulations that are designed to protect water quality. These regulations apply to all areas within the County. Future Water Supply and Demand Future problems affecting the potable water supplies of theBiscayne Aquifer are related to continued growth of population and industry. Continued growth will result in increased demands and increased generation of waste and solid waste. In the past, contamination has occurred at the Hialeah and Miami Springs wellfields. Current and future plans of the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority include making provisions to replace at least one existing wellfield in the event of contamination. WASA also plans the development of a new west wellfied to provide a supplemental water supply to meet increasing demand. The new wellfield will be located in an undeveloped east Everglades site, which lies west of Krome Avenue, in the western portion of the County. It will provide additional water supply to the area and have a capacity of 140 MGD. Thirty-five percent 95- 830 Page -VI I-9 (50 MGD) of this plant's capacity will be needed to meet future demands, while another forty percent (60 N4GD) of capacity will be available to replace existing facilities In the event of further contamination. These capital improvements will insure that City residents, along with other residents of the County, Neill have facilities that can provide sufficient quantities of water to meet future needs and the capacity to adequately respond in the event of a contamination to an existing wellfield. E) Storm Sewer and Drainage Operating Entity: City Of Miami Existing Conditions There are six major water bodies that are potential receiving waters of stormwater runoff. These include the Little liver, Miami, Seybold, Comfort and Tamiami canals (Figure II.I) and Biscayne Bay. These canals, plus several secondary canals, and direct surface runoff, all discharge eventually to Biscayne Bay. In permeability of the Biscayne aquifer, some areas of the City are not tributary to any surface water directly, but depend solely upon infiltration of runoff. SERVICE AREA: CITY OF MIAMI, CITY LIMITS CURRENT DEMAND/ EXISTING Level of Service BASIN A SUBCATCHMENT Al Surface Drainage: Generally to the west, to a depression located outside Miami. Under large events, a spill into A2 to the east could occur; otherwise, this subcatchment is distinct from the rest of Basin A. Positive Systems:A large portion of area Al lies outside of the City of Miami and hence, there is no information available for the positive systems that may drain these areas. There is a major system which drains to the north along N.W. 17th Avenue. Information is lacking on the system after it leaves the City to the north where it eventually drains into the Little River Canal. It is therefore not possible in this study to compute the maximum outflow rate directly for this system. Similar systems with 60" diameter pipes show a wide variation in maximum flow rates from 175 to 41 cfs. A rate of 100 is used in this analysis. A branch of this system flows into Al from nearby area A4. Estimated inflow rate for this 18-inch system is 10 cfs. Inflow to this subarea through 3-foot trench from Basin F-1 to the south along N.W. 17th Avenue is assumed to be small because of the small gradients available. A second system drains to the east along N.W. 54th Street. The estimated outflow area Al to A2 through this 54 inch system is 14 efs. The net maximum positive relief for this area is taken as 104 cfs. SUBCATCHMENT A2 Surface Drainage:This catchment is quite flat with drainage tending north or northeast. Overland flows tend primarily into Area A3, although some flow into A4 is likely, and the subcatchment could be considered part of A3. The boundary formed by the airport expressway to the south and the highway to the east is not exactly defined, although a field visit suggest that these are the basin divides. Positive System: There is positive system along Northwest 54th Street. A maximum inflow from Al equal to 14 cfs through a 54-inch culvert is calculated, with outflow to El, via a 96-inch pipe at N.W. 7th Avenue of 88 cfs. Inflow from area A3 through a 54- ine.h pipe is 32 cfs. With negligible contributions from A3 to A4 into 54th Street positive systems, the net available positive system outflow is 42 cfs. 95- 830 Page-V I I-1 l SUBCATCHMENT A3 Surface Drainage:Flows tend north to a depression within the subcatchment. A spill to area A4 in the cast fringe is likely, since the divide is not well defined at that point. Positive Systems:Thc Positive System outflow through a 54-inch pipe along Northwest 7th Avenue is computed to be 32 cfs. Estimated maximum inflow from B 1 through a 48- inch main along N.W. 7th Street is 21.2 cfs. The net outflow through positive systems is therefore 10.8 cfs. SUBCATCHMENT A4 Surface Drainage: Surface drainage tends to the northwest along a low-lying channel located approximately in the middle of the basin and extending outside the City of Miami. Flows ultimately reach either Lake Arcola or the Tamiami Canal by a overland route outside the City of Miami. Positive Systems: Positive outflow through 18-inch diameter pipe area Al along Northwest 62nd Street equals 10 cfs. There is also an interconnected positive and exfiltration. system within area A4. Inflow into 60-inch storm sewer running through system along Northwest 17th Avenue is assumed to be 20 cfs. Net maximum positive flow from subbasin is 30 cfs. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN A: 1. nuisance overland flow, particularly in the north end of A2 2. ponding at: a. St. NW and 10 Ave. b. St. NW and 13-14 Ave. NW c. St. NW and 15-17 Ave. NW d. possibly 68-67 St. NW/13 Ave. NW 3.other problems external to Miami but within physical drainage boundaries may exists. 4.no defined major system route is present. BASIN B SUBCATCHMENT B 1 Surface Drainage: Relatively well defined boundaries exist to the south and west, except for a low area adjacent to A4 in the southwest. Drainage is generally north into area 133, to low point outside Miami. Positive outflow is to the south through area A3 via a 48" sewer. Large area of subbasin is located outside City boundary. 95- 830 Page-VII-12 Large french drain systems connects 131 and C1 to west along 71st and 62nd Streets. Inflow along 7th Avenue from B 1 through 18 inch storm sewer. SUBCATCI NIENT B2 Surface Drainage:This catchment is bounded by the railway tracks north of 71st, and otherwise would be part of area Cl. Drainage is to the northwest, and a depressed area which exists partly inside Miami. This depressed area extends into area B3 and therefore may ultimately receive flows from BI and B3 as well. The ultimate spill from the B catchments is at the northwest tip of B2, overland to the Little River Canal. SUBCATCHMENT B3 Outside of City and therefore not discussed further due to lack of data. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN B: Lno defined major system route in B 1 and B2 2.a depression located near NW 75-79 St./NW 6-7 Ave. 3.a depression flooding possible in areas of B3 outside Miami. 4.no major overland route from B to the Little River Canal. BASIN C Surface Drainage: Drainage is to the north along a central depressed area, spilling into C4 at the northeast edge via a weak divide. SUBCATCHMENT C2 Surface Drainage:A significant depressed area central to this catchment receives flows which then tend north to spill into C4. A break on the south edge of the divide, near 62nd St. NE/1st Ave. NW, has the potential to admit flows from E2. SUBCATCHMENT C3 Surface Drainage: Bounded by a ridge and rail line on the east, it slopes relatively quickly to a depression in the north. This depression overlaps into C4 and receives flow from that area as well. 95- 830 Page-V II-13 SUBCATCHMENT C4. Surface Drainage: Receives flows from Cl, C2 and C3 readily, and slopes toward the Little River canal in the north. Some flows will proceed over land to areas outside the City of Miami. SUBCATCHMENT C5 Surface Drainage:A small area within drainage north to the City's limits, this is really a part of C4 except that flows leave the basin further west. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN C: I.possible pounding in a line between: a. 62 ST./NW 4 ave. and F.E.C.R.R./N.W. 4 Avenue: and b. 62 Street/N.W. I Place and F.E.C.R.R.iN.W.

Drains into the Little River and Biscayne Bay. No significant low spots, and not likely receiving tributary flows from other catchments. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN D: Lpossible overland flow damage due to lack of major system route. BASIN E SUBCATCHMENT El Surface Drainage:A small wedge which otherwise would be part of A3 in the west, it is bounded by the North -South Expressway. A low area receives flows. Spills to the south into E2, and possibly north into Cl, can happen if severe events occur, but the limited area makes this unlikely. 95- 830 Page-VII-14 SUBCATCHMENT E2 Surface Drainage: Bounded by a significant divide to the east, it drains inward to a central low area. Although two large (96" and 113" x 72") structures provide some relief by draining west, a spill if it occurs would likely be north into C1 and C2. SUBCATCHMENT E3 Surface Drainage: Generally east to the Biscayne Bay, although the F.E.C. railroad just east of the ridge line may cause some local pounding. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN E: 1.possible ponding along the F.E.C. railroad and at NW 2 Ave. NE 54 St. ..overland flow due to lack of a major system. General Notes The overland flow scheme in this basin is poorly defined. The two outfall pipes appear to be important drainage features since natural contours, expressway embankments, and railroad grades tent to landlock basins E1 , E2, and the western portion of E3. BASIN F SUBCATCHMENT F1 Surface Drainage:Drains out of the City of two low points on the northwest fringe. Positive Systems: Inflows: There are no appreciable positive systems which inflow to basin F1. Outflows: A 7' by 6' trench leaves basin F 1 to the east (basin GI) along the Airport Expressway. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN F: Lno overland major system route. 2.possible depression flooding at NW 49 St./NW 19 Ave. 95- 83© Page -VI I-15 BASIN G SUBCATCHMENT G1 Surface Drainage: We] l-defined ridges on the south perimeter and the highways to the north and east bound the area. Drainage is to 5 main low points within the area. High- level spills to G2 are likely at the north end of the west boundary. Notes: The "96 pipe which conveys water from the central depression in the basin (via 54" and 84" pipes in two separate branches) may need to be upgraded in order to improve conveyance from the depression to Wagner Creek. SUBCATCHMENT G2 Surface Drainage:Two main depressed areas receive flow from this catchment. The F.E.C. railroad bounds the south end of the catclunent and impedes flow, but a large twin base culvert presently being constructed from the depression to Wagner Creek will improve this situation. Flows are toward G3 in the south. SUBCATCHMENT G3 Surface Drainage:The boundary for this area is relatively well defined except for the southeast and northwest limits. Drainage is towards the central Wagner Creek and Seybold Canal, and from there to the Miami River. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN G: 1. possible overland flooding in G1 and G2 due to the lack of a major system. 2. possible depression ponding at: a. North South Expressway/NW 28 St. b.

North of NW 23 St./NW 15-17 Ave. BASIN H SUBCATCHMENT H1 Surface Drainage: Generally west, but constrained by surrounding highways. Ponding areas are in the northwest corner of the basin. 95- 830 Page-VII-16 SUBCATCHMENT H2 Surface Drainage:East from a ridge towards Biscayne Bay. Possible ponding due to interference from the railway running north -south through the catchment. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN H: l.possible ponding between NW 36 St./NW 3 Ave. and NW 29 St./North South Expressway. BASIN I SUBCATCHMENT I Surface Drainage: Generally toward the northwest, with a central low area. Much of this basin, and most of the depressed area, is outside of Miami. Flows tend to cross the west extension along NW 36 St. on the way to the Miami canal. Positive Systems: Inflows: There are no appreciable inflows in basin 11. Outflows: 1.There is an outflow along the Airport Expressway west to the Miami River. We have no data on this outfall. 2.A 42" pipe leaves basin i 1 to the south along NW 27th Ave. This pipe eventually reaches the Miami River. 3.A 5' by 6' "rock" trench leaves basin I1 to the south along NW 37th Ave. to the Miami River. 4.A 5 x 6 foot rock trench drains NW 36th St. to Miami canal at the western end of the basin. MOSTLY LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN I: 1. possible depression at: a. NW 30 St./NW 19 Ave. b. NW 31 St./NW 23 Ave. 2. possible overland flooding due to no major route especially near: a. NW 38 St./NW 27 Ave. NW 36 St./NW 35 Ave. BASIN J SUBCATCHMENT J1 Surface Drainage:The areas adjacent to the Miami River or Tamiami Canal. Drainage tends toward either water body, and depressions exist primarily at the west end. Some through flow nearby catclunents is expected. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN J: 1. no overland major system is defined. 2. excessive levels in the canal and river might have occasional impact. BASIN K SUBCA'TCHMENT Kl Surface Drainage:The area lies adjacent to the Biscayne Bay and Miami River. Surface drainage is directly to these water bodies. Being the downtown business areas, this area has a high density of positive systems and a high percentage of impervious surfaces. It is not possible to identify the areas of ponding from the available mapping. BASIN L SUBCATCHMENT L 1 Surface Drainage: Bounded on north by Tamiami canal, and on south by a divide, it has only one small depressed area. Most flows are received by the canal although some flows at the extreme west may leave the City toward the south. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN L: 1. possible ponding at NW 3 St./NW 59 Ave. 2. possible overland flow due to no major system. BASIN M SUBCATCHMENT M1 Gentle slope north to the Tamiami canal and Blue Lagoon Lake. No major depressions are apparent. Significant portions of Area P may spill through the west end of MI during large events. 95- 830 Page-V I I- 18 MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN M: 1. possible overland flow due to lack of major system, especially near: a.

One significant depressed area exists in the south end of the catchment. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN N: 1. ponding in an area between NW 3 St./NW 38 Ave. and NW 5 St./NW 40 Ct. 2. possible overland flow due to lack of a major drainage system. 3. Structure S25 on the Comfort Canal may be undersized. BASIN O SUBCATCHMENT 01 Surface Drainage: Generally to the northwest toward the South fork of the Miami River with a canal midway through the subcatchment providing added relief. Numerous central depressions form a predominant overland flow route. MOST LIKELY DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES BASIN O: 1. possible ponding near a. SW I St./NW 12 Ave. b. NW I St./NW 13 Ave. c. south of the Orange Bowl Stadium 2. possible overland flow along low areas, toward canal and river BASIN P SUBCATCHMENT PI Surface Drainage: Flows leave the area to the west, outside the City limits, spilling into area P2. Positive Systems:There are no positive system inflows to this basin. The covered ditch system running north and south along 37th Ave. has no identifiable major outlet. SUBCATCHMENT P2 Surface Drainage:A large area outside the City which is generally flat or depressed. Significant because of eventual spill towards P3 and, lience, the City of Miami. SUBCATCHMENT 113 Surface Drainagc:Mostly outside the City, flows travel generally north into a large depressed area extending into the City. May receive flows from P2 and P4. A spill into P5 under large events is possible. Positive Systems:No significant positive systems identified within the City limits. SUBCATCHMENT P4 Surface Drainage:An area mostly in the City, drainage is generally west towards P3. SUBCATCHMENT P5 Surface Drainage:Flows are generally west; a spill into P6 and/or M1 can occur for large events. A depression in the north and receives some flows. Positive Systems:One 36-inch pipe along FIagler Street. This system has limited capacity due to high tailwater conditions in Tamiami Canal. SUBCATCHMENT P6 Surface Drainage:A small sector separated from P5 by a slight, divide, drainage is north into M1 during large events. Tamiami Trail provides a southern limit for this area. SUBACATCHMENT P7 Surface Drainage: Generally, drainage is toward the center of this catchment, into slight depressions. During large events a spill into M 1 may occur. Positive Systems:One 36-inch pipe north on 65 Ave. and system of unknown size along West Flagler. Again, due to high tailwater conditions in the Tamiami canal, the net positive relief produced by these systems is small.

BASIN Q SUBCATCHMENT Q1-16 Surface Drainage:lri this group, drainage is generally toward several central low-lying areas. The entire Q area is generally depressed, and is for the most part bounded by a relatively high ridge. The area is therefore generally land -locked; except or relief provided by several channels already in place, flows are essentially contained in this area.

POTABLE WATER/GROUNDWATER RECHARGE - Operating Entity: Miami -Dade Water & Sewer Authority Existing Contlitions:City of Miami Potable Water Supply and Service Potable water supply and service to the City of Miami is provided by the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department, an agency of Metropolitan Dade County. The City of Miami, through its Public Works Department, is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the water systems within the City limits and the Authority is responsible for the operation, maintenance, management, and control of the water systems. Service Area:City of Miami, City Limits Current Demand/Existing Level of Service Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department has three (3) principal facilities constructed and operated by the Department with a combined production capacity of 358 million gallons per day (MGD). These plants are supported by wellfields located at the Alexander Orr, Jr. plant site on S.W. 87th Avenue and 68th Street and on S.W. 76th Street at S.W. 123rd Avenue to serve the southern part of Dade County, and the new northwest wellfield at N.W. 74th Street and 137th Avenue in the Everglades to serve the northern part of Dade County. There are two major interconnected water treatment districts divided by Flagler Street. The locations of these wellfields are shown on Figure IV.1. The water transmission and distribution system consists of over 4,100 miles of water mains extending from the Broward County boundary to Florida City. 95- 830 Page-VII-24 STORM SEWER AND DRAINAGE - EXISTING AND PROJECTED FACILITY NEEDS Stormwater Facility Requirements The first stage of the investigation for the Stonn Drainage Master Plan involved dividing the City of Miami into four classifications of drainage zones. The zones identified on Figure II.3 indicate the drainage basins in which each category of drainage system can be installed. The zones identified as local drainage systems reflect areas immediately adjacent to Biscayne Bay, Miami River, Seybold Canal. Comfort Canal, and Tamiami Canal. These zones require individual pipes to discharge directly into these water bodies. The zones in which exfiltration systems can be used reflect the capability of the groundwater system to receive direct ,vhcre exfiltration systems can be used in portions of the drainage basin while storm sewer pipes must be used for the remainder. The areas without any specific delineation indicate where specific positive system drainage must be used and conveyed to or through adjoining zones to discharge to surface water bodies. The following sections discuss the needs in each of these specific categories. Local Drainage System Requirements The areas immediately adjacent to surface water systems within the City of Miami exhibit similar drainage problems. These area are low in elevation and are subject to high tide conditions. This combination causes routine flooding due to undersized pipes for the land development existing today. Therefore, with limited exceptions. most of these areas must be drained through installing additional storm sewer pipes which discharge directly to the receiving surface waters. In some instances, tide gates or similar structures will be required to avoid flooding during high tide and rainfall conditions. In order to alleviate the flooding problem caused in these zones, individual pipes must be installed. The total cost for the additional storrn sewer pipes required to satisfy 25-year storm recurrence intervals will be approximately $55,000,000 for all the areas adjacent to the surface water bodies. 1Exfiltration System Requirements Based upon the high infiltration rates available in the soils within. the City of Miami, the use of exfiltration systems as effective means for stormwater management must be stressed. Through constructing devices capable of transferring water from the ground surface to the subsurface groundwater, expedient and cost-effective systems can be 95- 830 Page-VII-25 provided. Based upon the soil conditions and topography, approximately 40% of the City area could utilize exfiltration systems to provide flooding protection and water quality enhancement from a 25-year design storm. Based upon analyzing drainage zones where exfiltration systems could be utilized, approximately 750.000 feet of exfiltration trench would be necessary at a total cost of approximately $105,000,000. Storm Sewer System Requirements The need for a stone sewer system to relieve flooding is specific to those areas which are formed by depressions surrounded by higher ground elevations. In addition to the topography impact, these areas are also prone to high groundwater levels in the depressions and there is no positive outlet for the stormwater. Each of those areas identified on Figure II.5 represent the zones requiring positive outlets from an inland system to the closest drainage way. The information presented in Table 1 outlines the ten zones specifically investigated which require major storm sewer construction to alleviate flooding. Total System Requirements Based upon the preceding analysis, the total stormwater system requirements canbe defined. Table II.1 displays the capital cost estimates proposed for each stormwater system. Those values reflect total costs associated with pre -design, final design, construction, administration, financial, legal, and contingencies. The only item not reflected in these values would be the purchase of property. MAJOR NATURAL, DRAINAGE/GROUNDWATER RECHARGE Existing Conditions There are six major water bodies that are potential receiving waters of stormwater runoff. These include the Little River, Miami, Seybold, Comfort and Tamiami canals (Figure II.1) and Biscayne Bay. These canals, plus several secondary canals, and direct surface runoff, all discharge eventually to Biscayne Bay. In addition, due to the topography and high permeability of the Biscayne aquifer, some areas of the City are not tributary to any surface water directly, but depend solely upon infiltration of runoff. Based partly upon natural topography and primarily on the created drainage patterns of the canal system, the City of Miami has been divided into nine major drainage watersheds shown on Figure II.2. Surface runoff from five of the watersheds discharge directly to the drainage canals identified above. Two others are the coastal areas located north and south 95- 830 Page-VII-26 of the Miami River that are directly tributary to Biscayne Bay. The last two watersheds are the northwestern and southwestern segments of the City that are essentially non - tributary to any surface water body. LAND USE REGULATION Regulatory Framework The principal regulatory programs are the "Clean Water Act," the "Resource Conservation and Recovery Act," and the "Safe Drinking Water Act." Under these regulations, federal and state water controlling pollution from sources such as land disposal of liquid, solid, and hazardous waste; septic systems and cesspools; saltwater intrusion from groundwater depletion; and activities such as oil production, irrigation, accidental spills and mining. In 1986, the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (PL 93-523) was amended to strengthen protection of public water system wellfields and aquifers that are the sole source of drinking water for a community. The amendments for wellfield protection require states to work with local governments to map wellhead areas and develop land use controls that will provide long -terns protection from contamination for these areas. The aquifer protection amendments require EPA to develop criteria for selecting critical aquifer protection areas. The program calls for state and local governments to map these areas and develop protection plans, subject to EPA review and approval. The Biscayne Aquifer has been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Administration as a "sole source aquifer" because it is the area's only fresh water resource. The aquifer is recharged primarily by rainfall. Discharge is by evapotranspiration, coastal seepage, pumping and canal drainage and by subsurface outflow along the coast. It is a highly permeable wedge-shaped aquifer that at its maximum is more than 20 feet thick in coastal Broward County and thins to an edge 35 to 40 miles inland in the Everglades. Natural groundwater flow patterns in Dade County are generally from northwest to southeast. Public groundwater supplies are of excellent quality. The Aquifer underlies the entire City of Miami. No area within the City, however, has been designated by the South Florida Water Management District as a "prime" natural ground water aquifer recharge area. The secondary aquifer recharge area within the City is located in the western part of the City (Flagami district). This is primarily a low -to - moderate density residential area, which is expected to maintain its existing land use characteristics in the near future. This area, moreover, will be completely served by sanitary sewers by 1992. SANITARY SEWER Operating Entity: Miami -Dade `'Dater and Sewer Authority Existing Conditions Sewer Collection Systems: Over the past fifteen years the City of Miami has undertaken a program to expand sewer services through the sale of bonds for capital improvements to the sewer collection system. By the year 1992, the entire City of Miami will be served by sanitary sewers, thus eliminating the few remaining private disposal systems now in existence. Figure I.2 illustrates all areas of the City which are now served by the system. The 201 Plan Update calls for the expansion of the North, Central and South District plants to 120, 133 and 131.125 million gallons per day (mgd), respectively, by the year 2005. Effluent disposal at the North and Central District plants would be via ocean outfalls and at the South District plant, via deep wells discharging to the Boulder Zone of the Floridian Aquifer. Although the City of Miami is served by the Central District, generating less than 60 percent of the flow treated at `JVASA's Virginia Key .facility, there is a link between the three districts permitting flow transfers between facilities. Service Area: City of Miami, City Limits Current Demand/Existing Level of Service. The recommended plan will require the following major new wastewater facilities during the first few years to meet the entire County's immediate needs: 1.Expanson of North District plant from 80 to 100 mgd; 2.Upgrade of Central District plant now under construction from 121 to 133 mgd; and 3.Expansion of South District plant from 75 to 112.5 mgd. Following this initial period, the South District plant will undergo a second expansion of 18.75 mgd, up to the year 2005 capacity of 131.125 mgd. The North District plant will undergo a second expansion, from 100 to 120 mgd. Other transmission and pumping projects throughout the County will be constructed after 1991. 95- 830 Page-V II-28 SANITARY SEWER EXISTING & PROJECTED NEEDS Existing Conditions Sewer Collection Systems: Over the past fifteen years the City of Miami has undertaken a program to expand sewer services through the sale of bonds for capital improvements to the sewer collection system. By the year 1992, the entire City of Miami will be served by sanitary sewers, thus eliminating the few remaining private disposal systems now in existence. Figure I.2 illustrates all areas of the City which are now served by the system. The 1986-1992 Capital Improvement Program for the City of Miami includes projects that will improve Miami's existing sanitary sewer collection system and provide sanitary sewers in the remaining areas of the City that are not presently served by the system. The projects are shown on Figure I.3. Nine of the projects, valued at $35,059,000, are ongoing, while the remaining project valued at $1,100,000 is scheduled to begin within the last five years of the City's capital improvement program. For a detailed list of City projects refer to Table I.1. In July of 1986, the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority completed the Dade County 201 Wastewater Facilities Plan Update. This plan updates information presented in the 1977 original Dade County 201 Facilities Plan for wastewater transmission, treatment and disposal. It considers new population projections and other new information and evaluates alternatives for handling the projected wastewater flows through the year 2005. The 201 Plan Update calls for the expansion of the North, Central and South District plants to 120, 133 and 131.125 million gallons per day (mgd), respectively, by the year 2005. Effluent disposal at the North and Central District plants would be via ocean outfalls and at the South District plant, via deep wells discharging to the Boulder Zone of the Floridian Aquifer. Although the City of Miami is served by the Central District, generating less than 60 percent of the flow treated at WASA's Virginia Key facility, there is a link between the three districts permitting flow transfers between facilities. The relationship of plant capacities and projected daily wastewater flows over time through the year 2005 is shown in Figure I.5 (North District), I.6 (South District), and I.7 (Central District). As shown in these figures, projected wastewater flows will necessitate transfers between districts in accordance with plant capacities and expansions. Construction of treatment facility expansions is planned to be under way when the average flow reaches 90 percent of capacity. This policy is consistent with sound engineering practice, and by following this 95- 830 Page-VII-29 procedure, WASH will be able to treat the required flow volumes as they are generated, rather than violating their rated plant capacities. At all times, the total flows for all three districts will be less than approximately 90 percent of total plant capacity. INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTCONDITIONS AT DATE OF EAR (1) Data & Analysis Sanitary Sewer Sub Element. The WASD service area for Dade County increase by approximately 5 percent from 1988-92. Most of the increase took place in the west central portion of the county and the south central portion of the county the City of Miami had littler increase in service from 1988-1992. As the result of enforcement actions against Dade County by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1993, Dade County has agreed to construct over $800 million worth of improvements to its wastewater treatment plants, transmission and sewage collection system. The agreement also contained development restrictions, although most of these were lifted after the completion of a cross -bay 102-inch force main to the Virginia Key (Central) Wastewater Treatment Plant in September 1994. Complete resolution of the settlement will require over 1000 separate projects to improve force main pumpong stations, force main pipelines, and expand the capacity of all three treatment facilities. These will not be completed until 1996. The planned expansions will result in a treatment system capacity of 368 MGD by November 1996. A primary goal of the collection system improvement program is to reduce the infiltration of groundwater into the sewage system and prevent the use of the sanitary sewer system as a stormwater drainage system. Together, these factors are referred to as "infiltration and inflow", or 1/1. Even though the I/I program is far from complete, it is already showing significant results. As can be seen in Figure 11, overall sanitary sewage flows during the very wet 1994 autumn rainy season have been slightly less than those of the relatively dry 1993 rainy season.

(Table 3) The system served slightly less than 332,000 metered customers on a retail basis and 13 municipal systems on a wholesale basis, representing a population of about 1,700.000. This was an increase in retail metered customers from 1988 to 1992 of 10.5 percent. The geographic increase in the WASD service area was approximately 5.2 percent. xith most of the increase taking place incrementally in the west central portion of the county and in the county's south central area. The City of Miami expericnced a slight increase in service from 1988- 1.992. The production of potable Nvater experienced no significant deviations form the projected trends prepared for the 1988 CDMP. This is not to say that no problems were encountered during this period. Two long-term -concerns outlined in the CDMP continued to develop: 1) A lack of vacant land at the Hialeah -Preston facility, and 2) The supply of raw water provided to the Alexander Orr facility for the Alexander Orr, Snapper Creek and Southwest wellficlds in 1992, WASD published a new water facilities Master Plan. The Plan provided a schedule of improvements to wellfields, Treatment facilities, and distribution facilities. To facilitate the growing demand for potable water services, Dade County initiated over twenty major capital improvements to the WASD potable water system between 1988 and i 994 at a cost of almost $150 million. These projects are summarized in Table 4. The implementation of the water conservation efforts detailed in the previous section resulted in an improvement in measures of efficiency from 1988 to 1994. As is indicated in Table 5, the use of water per capita per day shows a downward trend. In 1988, the WASD system utilized 198 gallons per capita per day, and in 1994, 183 gallons per capita per day. Also, as indicated in Table 3, the percentage of unaccounted for water was reduced from 15 percent in 1988 to 9.6 percent in 1994.

Separate analysis are presented for potable water and sanitary sewer. Potable Water The adopted Dade County CDMP establishes a Level of Service Standard for Potable Water containing five components. Two of these (subsection 2A 1) (a) and subsection 2A]) (e) involve quantitative assessments of capacity. Although the achievement of all five components will be evaluated in a later section of this report, a comparison of demand to capacity for the above two quantitative components will be made here. Subsection 2A 1) (a) of Policy 2A states: The regional treatment system shall operate with a rated capacity whixh is no less than 2 percent above the maximum day flow for the proceeding year.and Subsection 2A 1 (e) of Policy 2A states: The system shall maintain the capacity to produce and deliver 200 gallons per capita per day. The FY 1987-1988 capacity of water treatment plants in Dade County is presented in Table 7. The WASD system had a rated maximum average daily capacity of 383.3 MGD and maximum annual daily demand of 353.6 MGD, for an available capacity of 31.0 MGD (8.2 percent). The North District had an available capacity of 14.2 MGD (7.5 percent), and the South District had an available capacity of 15.2 MGD (8.6 percent). The Rex System network of 6 small treatment plants had an available capacity of 1.3 MGD (11.2 percent). The four municipal treatment facilities had an aggregate available capacity of 3.3 MGD (8.5 percent). Countywide, there existed an available capacity of 34.3 MGD (8.1 percent). The FY 1993-1994 capacity of water treatment plants in Dade County is presented in Table 8. The WASD system has a rated maximum annual daily capacity of 427.6 MGD and a maximum annual daily demand of' 348.0 MGD, for a available capacity of 43.6 MGD (10.2 percent). The North District has an available capacity of 38.1 MGD (16.9 percent), and the South District has an available capacity of 4.8 MGD (2.5 percent). The former Rex System network of 6 small treatment facilities have an aggregate available capacity of 3.3 MGD (8.4 percent). Countywide, there exists an available capacity of 46.9 MGD (10.0 percent). The per capita use of water is presented in Table 5. In 1988, WASD customers used 198 gallons per person. In 1992, the most recent year available, WASD customers used 194 gallons per person. Sewage Treatment The adopted Dade County CDMP establishes a Level of Service standard for sanitary sewer comprised of four components. Two of these (subsection 2A 2)(a) and subsection 2A 2)(c) involve quantitive assessments of capacity. Although the 95- 830 Page-VII-36 achievement of all four LOS components will be evaluated in a later section of this report, a comparsion of demand to capacity for the above two subsections will be made here. Subsection 2A 2) (a) of Policy 2A states: The regional wastewater treatment and disposal system shall operate with a design Table VII-7 Capacity of County and Municipal Water Treatment Plants, 1987 Rated Average Maximum Available Capacity Day Day Capacity Plant (MGD) (MGD) (MGD) (MGD) COUNTY NORTH REGIONAL DISTRICT 190.0 52.8 175.8 14.2 Hialeah 60.0 80.3 Preston 130.0 72.5 SOUTH REGIONAL DISTRICT 178.0 133.8 162.8 15.2 Alexander Orr 172.2 133.15 S.

The system shall maintain the capacity to collect and dispose of 100 gallons of sewage per capita per day. A comparsson of Count), sewage treatment capacity with the 102 percent and 100 gallon pet cpaita LOS standars from 1987 to 1994 are presented in Table 9. As indicated in this table, the WASD wastewater system met both standards in 1987 and 1998. "I'lle NVASD wastweater system also met both standards in 1994. However, the system did not meet the 102 percent annual average daily flow (AADF) requirement during some periods of 1993. The 102 percent requirement was re -attained on a continuous basis in 1994 through a series of treatment plant expansions and reratings, and an aggressive maintenance campaign to reduce water infiltration and inflow (1/1) into the sewage system is resulting in reduced sewer loads between November 1993 and August 1994. Although sewer demand is expected to increase through the fall and winter of 1994, it is anticipated that the 1/1 program will keep sewage treatment demands under current projections. Capacity/Demand Analysis 1994 to 2015. Again, separate analyses are presented for potable water and sanitary sewer. Potable Water. A comparison of projected maximum daily capacity to the two existing LOS requirements (102 percent of previous year's maximum day and 200 gallons per capita) from 1990 to 2015 is presented in Table 5 and Table 10. The County system is projected to meet the 200 gallons per capita standard throughout the projection period. The Dade Countyu Water and Sewer Department is in the process of updating its Water Facilities Master Plan. This plan will incorporate the revised population projections for the 2005-2015 period into the Department's capital improvement plan. The programmed and funded capital improvements scheduled in the current Dade County Capital Improvement Plan for implementation in the next five years which will allow the WASD water system to meet demand projections is presented in Table 11. These projects are listed with their fundings sources. Sanitary Sewer. A comparison of projected maximum daily capacity to the 102 percent of previous year's average daily flow requirement from 1990 to 2015 is presented in Table 12. The County system capacity is projected to meet the 102 percent requirement in 1995. 345 S'3 0 Page-VII-41 Table VII-9 WASD Regional Wastewater System: Capacity and Demand Comparison, 1987-1994 Year Treatment Capacity (MGD) 102 Percent of Previous Year Average Daily Flow (MGD) 1987 276 271.1 1988 276-288 276.4 1989 288-298 276.7 1990 298-287 268.7 1991 287-298 284.7 1992 298 310.6 1993 298 312.3 1994 298-318 321.0 Source: Miami Dade Water and Sewer Department, 1994 Table VII-10 WASD Regional Water System Capacity and Demand Comparison 1990-2015 Year Maximum Day Capacity (MGD) 102 Pct.

MAJOR NATURAL DRAINAGE/GROUNDWATER RECHARGE Existing Conditions There are six major water bodies that are potential receiving waters of stormwater runoff. These include the Little River Miami, Seybold, Comfort and Tamiami canals, plus several secondary canals, and direct surface runoff, all discharge eventually to Biscayne Bay. In addition, due to the topography and high permeability of the Biscayne aquifer. some areas of the City are not tributary to any surface water directly, but depend solely upon infiltrtion of runoff. Based partly upon natural topography and primarily on the created drainage patterns of the canal system, the City of Miami has been divided into nine major drainage patterns of the canal system, the City of Miami has been divided into nine major drainage watersheds shown on Figure 1I.2. Surface runoff from five of the watersheds discharge directly to the drainage canals identified above. Two others are the coastal areas located north and south of the Miami River that are directly tributary to Biscayne Bay. The Iast two watersheds are the northwestern and southwestern segments of the City that are essentially non -tributary to any surface water body. Ongoing Planning Activities The following sections summarize major planning activities that have taken place or are underway between 1988 and 1994. Potable Water. In 1987, WASD developed the Ten Year Facilities Plan. A follow-up to a 1973 plan, this document outlined a program to integrate the formerly private water utilities in the South Dade area into the WASD system and identified the west wellfiedl as the preferred source for additional water supplies after 2000. This planning effort included consideration of the location of water transmittal facilities to support this wellfield into the short and medium term development of water mains for treated water. The Water Conservation Management Plan was developed in late 1991 in compliance with a condition attached to Water Use Permit N. 13-00037-W issued by the South Florida Water Management District. The plan outlined facilities, policy, and pricing options available to WASD to moderate the per capita consumption of water within the county. The 1987 facilities plan was revised and updated in th 1992 Water Facilities Master Plan. An important feature of this plan was its identification of the south wellfield as the best long-term source of water for the County system. It is anticipated that the south wellfield will be brought online after the West Wellfield, sometime after 2010. The Water Facilities Master Plan is presently undergoing a revision which will be released in late 95- 830 Page-VII-46 1995. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) issued its District Water Management Plan (DWMP) in April, 1995. The DWMP represents the district's first comprehensive examination of the myriad issues of water supply, flood protection, water quality and natural systems management in the 16-county south Florida region. The DWMP is intended to provide comprhensive long-range guidance for the actions of the water management district in implementing its responsibilities under state and federal laws. Sanitary Sewer. In 1977, WASD developed the Dade County 201 Wastewater Facilities Plan. The plan was revised in 1986 and an update was prepared in September, 1991 in conjunction with the Water and Wastewater 'Treatment Facilities Capacity Analysis Review. In November, 1991 DERM, acting as local representative for the U.S. EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) under a 1981 agreement with WASD, issued Technical Report 914, "Utilities Sewage Collection and Transmission System Service Evaluation Program". In its conclusion, that report stated: "In summary, current and potential future capacity limitations in the regional wastewater collection, transmission and treatment systems warrant a complete engineering analysis to ensure adequate levels of service now and in the future. Realistic time frames and firm funding commitments must be included. Overflow conditions with minimal or no treatment are unacceptable." In January, 1992, in resoponsse to DEP Rule 17-600.405 (requiring the operator of any permitted wastewater treatment facility operating at or over 50 percent of its rated capacity to submit a capacity analysis), WASD issued the Domestic Wastewater Facilities Analysis Report. This report has since been updated annually. Throughout 1992, Dade County DERM prepared a series of Overlfbw and Surcharge Incident reports detailing operational failures of the WASD, City of Hialeah, and the City of Opa-Locka wastewaster systems. These reports eventually Iaid the foundation for a settlement agreement between WASD and the Florida DEP in July 1993, a First Partial Consent Decree with the U.S. EPA in September 1993, and a Second and Final Partial Consent Decree in April, 1994. Under these agreements, the County agreed to implement more than $800 million in improvements to the wastewater collection and treatment between 1993 and 1996. In Agust 1992, WASD completed the Wastewater Reuse Feasibility Study. The study, mandated by Section 403.064 of the Florida Statues, recommended that the County implement the medium reuse alternative", which proposed the reuse of 189 MGD of wastewater at a cost of 924.1 million dollars ($4.90 per 1000 gal). Implementation is recommended to take place in three phases from 1995 to 2015. 95-- 830 Page -VI I-47 ised As p art of the WASD/DEP settlement agreement, the County agreed to draft omPe feted 201 Plan.

CD CJT 00 t= MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION LOCATION OF LAND USES AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF, THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED This section of the EAR examines major problems in the County related to development, physical deterioration, and the location of land uses and their social and economic effects, as required by Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)1a)4.F.A.C. The Rule identifies fifteen specific items (Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(a)4.a.-o., F.A.C.) to be addressed as part of the evaluation of each element. Not all of the items listed, however, are relevant to individual plan elements. Tihereforel only those items which would affect a particular element are addressed With respect to the Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element, four of the fifteen items are relevant. These items are listed as follows: a, c. d Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(a)4.a. through 0., F.A.C. identifies 15 specific items to be addressed under the above heading. Only those items relevant to this subelement are included: a, c, d and h a. Accuracy and use of population objections This area is discussed in the "Update and Analysis of Baseline Data" section of this report. There have been no major problems associated with this item. c. The effect of concurrency. This area is discussed in the 'Updated Level of Service (LOS) Analysis section of this report. There have been no major problems associated with this item. d. The maintenance and/or achievement of adequate level of service standards. This area is discussed in the section "Achievement of Objectives", in particular Objective 2 There have been no major problems associated with this item. h. Physical deterioration of buildings, utilities, infrastructure, recreation facilities. and parks, and the need for replacement or rehabilitation. Several environmental compliance problems have been encountered between 1988 and 1994 from facilities with problems resulting from operational procedures that reflect a lqwer awareness of environmental issues or less available information about what constitute proper environmental practices. 95- 830 Page-VII--50 The Resources Recovery Facility was cited by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation for nuinerous violations of environmental regulations throughout the period 1985-1991. Both the plan and the storinwater management system will greatly augment the environmental suitability of the City of Miami 95- 830 Page-V II-5l EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1990 Subsection 9J-S.0053(6)(a) 6., F.A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state groNAAh management policies as expressed in: 1) Section 187.021 F.S.1 the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP); 2) the appropriate strategic regional policy plan, 3) Chapter 1631 Part 1I, F.S. (Local Government r.—mprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-S, F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria For Review of Local Comprehensive Plans) Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan by its date of adoption It should be noted that Section 321 Chapter 93-2006, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP) These plansl in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans— The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process Based on the assessment of the above reference statutory and rule changes, this element will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The current adopted Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element of the MCNP references Countywide solid waste disposal facilities and services as required by Chapter 163, F.S. and Rule 9J-S.011, F.A.0 Since the County does provides collection services to the unincorporated area of the County, the County is consistent with SCP (I3)(b)2. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, FLORIDA STATUTES 95- 830 }gage-VII-52 Section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S., relating to the Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Element has not been amended since the MCNP was adopted in 1990, and therefore the Water, Sewer and Stornnvater Element remains consistent with these provisions. In 1993, a new Section 163.3180, F.S. was added, relating to concurrence for roads, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks and recreation, and mass transit. Specifically. Section 163.3180(2) (a) requires that sanitary seNver, solid waste and potable water facilities shall be in place and available to serve new development no later than the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or its functional equivalent. Policy 2B, Water Sewer and Stormwatcr Element, is consistent xvith this provision. CONSISTENCY WITH SECTION 9J-S, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. In 1994, a new Section 9JS-OOSS(3)(a), F.A.C. was added. The new section implemented the changes to Section 163.3180(2) (a), F.S. that are detailed above. As is the case for the changes to the statutes, the City of Miami MCNP is in conformity with this change to the administrative code CONSISTENCY WITH THE STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN FOR SOUTH FLORIDA The Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) for South Florida was released in draft form by the South Florida Regional Planning Council in February, 1995 Because this is the first edition of the SRPP, all goals and policies are new. Only those goals and policies relevant to the solid waste collection and disposal are listed in this report Strategic Regional Policy 2.1.5. The policy encourages local governments to direct development to areas served by existing infrastructure and to areas suitable for development 'The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent with this policy Strategic Regional Policy 2.1.8. This policy encourages the development of a regional forum to address service provision and facility needs, as well to enable the intergovernmental review of regionally significant public facilities which involve locally unwanted land uses. This Strategic Regional Policy is addressed in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report for the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the City of Miami MCNP Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.2 This policy promotes the availability of consistent information on existing or planned facilities and services provided by the county 95- 839 Page-V I I-53 Information concerning potable water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater sewer operations by the City is readily available from a number of sources The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent with this Regional Policy Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.3. This policy calls for the public sector to give priority to the funding of those improvements which support the general welfare of its citizenry and promote public plans. The Water. Sewcr and Stormwater Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 3 of the Clement calls for the County to coordinate the development of such facilities through the MCNP's Capital Improvement Element (CIE), and contains a series of policies which specify —criteria for evaluating projects proposed for inclusion in the CIE. Strategic Policy 2.3.4. This policy recommends that decisions regarding the location, rate and intensity of development should be based on the existing or programmed capacity of infrastructure. The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 2 of the Water. Sewer and Stornwater Element states in part that adequate facility capacity will be available to meet future needs, and Objective 3 states in part that the City of Miami will provide an adequate level of service for public facilities to meet both existing and projected needs. Objective 2 contains Level of Service standards for solid waste services and Objectives 3 contains prioritization criteria for programming new capttal improvements. Both objectives stress the need to provide for existing and projected demand. Policy 2.3.7 This policy calls for the local governments to identify opportunities to optimize the service area and facility size of public facilities in the region The City of Miami MCNP is consistent with this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.8. This policy recommends that local governments to enhance sources of financial support for capital improvements The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent with the Strategic Regional Plan. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.10. This policy calls for localities to give priority to the construction maintenance or reconstruction of public facilities needed to serve existing development most effectively The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 3 contains prioritization criteria for programming new capital improvements. Policy 3A(5) of the Water Sewer and Stormwater element includes costeffective improvements to expand capacity, maximize operational efficiency, and increase productivity among these priorities. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.1.1. This policy encourages the use of mechanisms that provide incentives for development to use existing public facilities and services. The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent with this Regional Policy Objective 4 of the Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element calls for the City of Miami to provide urban services at the most efficient scale of production and delivery through 35- 830 Page-VII-54 continuing system development, system consolidation, and increases in system effectiveness and efficiency Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.16. This policy calls for local governments to utilize the existing inffastructure capacity of regional facilities to the maximum extent consistent with the maintenance of LOS standards. The Water Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent. Nvith this Regional Policy Objective 2 of the Water. Sewer and Stormwater Element states that adequate facility capacity will be available to meet future needs and Objective 3 states that the City of Miami will provide an adequate level of service for public facilities to meet both existing and projected needs Objective 4 of the Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element calls for the City of Miami to provide urban services at the most efficient scale of production and delivery through continuing system development, system consolidation. and increases in system effectiveness and efficiency. Strategic Regional 2.3.1 I This policy encourages local governments to permit new development only when and where adequate excess capacity exists or is programmed. The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element js consistent with this policy Objective 2 states in part that adequate facility capacity will be available to meet future needs and Objective 3 states in part that the City of Miami will provide an adequate. level of service for public facilities to meet both existing and projected needs. Objective 2 contains Level of Service standards for solid waste services and Objective 3 contains prioritization criteria for programming new capital improvements. Both objectives stress the need to provide for existing and projected demand Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.20. This policy encourages the application of resource recovery, recycling and. other appropriate mechanisms as a means for reducing the impacts of flew development and the costs of providing new public facilities. The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 4 of the element states that the City of Miami shall provide urban services at the most efficient scale of production and delivery Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.21. This policy calls for the City of Miami to, whenever feasible, to replace inefficient local facilities and services with larger sub -regional or regional facilities. The Water, Sewer and Stormwater Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 4 states in part that Dade County shall provide urban services at the most efficient scale of production and delivery. Strategic Regional Policies 2.3.22. through 2.3.34. These Regional Policies concern the funding of infrastructure needs. These issues are addressed in the Capital Improvements Element of the City of Miami MCNP, and are referenced in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report for that element. 95 - 830 Page-VII-55 CONCILUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS This section of the clement evaluation presents a summary of general conclusions and identifies needed actions and/or proposed plan amendments to address or implement identified changes as discussed in other sections of this report. Proposed revisions may include the identification of new and revised goals, objectives and policies revised future condition maps. capital improvement schedules and monitoring and evaluation procedures While actual proposed amendment language is not included, the general nature or types of changes are clearly described All proposed revisions presented here have been carefully linked to the evaluation of current conditions within the County, objective achievement, issues, problems and opportunities and other sections of this element report. The required schedule for transmittal and adoption of evaluation and appraisal report - based amendments in Subsection 9J-5.0053(3)b. and (6) (a) 8.b., F.A.C. is described in the introduction to the Land Use Element Evaluation and Appraisal Report. Goal: The goal should be revised to address solid waste separately and call for the development of an integrated, countywide solid waste management system in conformity with Federal, State and County Statutes which promotes the public health, sanitation, environmental protection) operational efficiency, and beneficial land use and growth patterns and is funded through fair and equitable methods. These changes incorporate the decision to separate the solid waste and water/sewer subelements of the Water, Sewer and Solid Waste element into two distinct elements This will aid readability and the clarity of policy statements The reference to state statutes reflects the increasing role that state mandates are playing in the structuring of County policy. The reference to equity in finance was suggested by the Solid Waste Management Citizens Task Force in September 1991. Objective 1. Reference to potable water and sanitary sewer operations should be moved to the water and sewer subelement Policy I B through I I These policies refer only to water and sewer operations, and should to moved to the New Potable Water and Sewer subelement. See also Policy I Policy 1 J. This policy should be split into two separate policies. The first, which concerns the incorporation of groundwater protection systems into all new solid waste disposal facilities, should be moved to the revised Objective 4, which is more closely related to 95- 830 Page-VI1-56 environmental protection The second should become Policy I B I which would prohibit the siting of solid waste disposal facilities in present or future wellfield protection areas. Policy 1K The policy should be retained but renumbered 1C Redirect emphasis to discourage the approval of changes to the City of Miami's Land Use Element or other development regulations which would permit land uses with a higher potential for use of nuisance conflicts with said facilities. and note that residential uses shall be considered incompatible with those public facilities where externalities. particularly noise and odor, can reasonably be expected as the result of normal operations or emergency situations. Objective 2 It is recommended that the objective be re worded to specify that the object of the City and County's LOS standard is not to provide facilities that meet countywide capacity needs, but.to provide a solid waste system that serves the needs of the unincorporated areas of the County and those municipalities who wish to participate in the system through interlocal agreement Policy 2A. References to potable water and sanitary sewer operations should be moved to the water and sewer subelement. The solid waste standard should specify that Metro - Dade County solid waste disposal facilities shall collectively maintain a minimum of five years capacity to be available at the generation rate of 7 pounds per system customer per day net of recycling. Policy 2B. References to potable water and sanitary sewer operations should be moved to the water and sewer subelement, otherwise, retain language in reference to solid waste Policy 2C: This policy refers only to water and sewer operations, and is eliminated in this subelement and moved to the new Potable Water and Sewer Subel ement Policy 21): This Policy should be retained with no substantiative change Objective 3 References to potable water and sanitary sewer operations should be moved to the water and sewer subelement) otherwise) retain language in reference to solid waste Policy 3A: References to potable water and sanitary sewer operations should be moved to the water and sewer subelement. In addition) improvements that would facilitate recycling and source reduction efforts should be included as a capital improvements criteria Finallyl 3A(g) should be eliminated as criteria (this section places emphasis on landfill and resource recovery expansion as capital improvements criteria). Policy 3B. References to potable water and sanitary sewer operations should be moved to the water and sewer subelement, otherwise, retain language in reference to solid waste. Policy 3C. References to potable water and sanitary sewer operations should be moved to the water and sewer subelement, otherwise, retain language in reference to solid waste. Policy 3C. References to potable water and sanitary sewer operations should be moved to the water and sewer subelement, otherwise. retain language in reference to solid waste Policy 3D.

Objective 4. It is recommended that the existing Objective 4 be deleted and replaced with one that places a priority on the maintenance of environmental quality and community quality of life. Policy 4A. The existing Policy 4A should be deleted and replaced with one which stresses the need for all solid waste disposal facilities to be developed and operated to: (1) Meet all applicable local, state and federal environmental, health and safety rules and regulations; (2) Minimize adverse human and natural environmental impacts; (3) Minimize -development, operation and maintenance costs., and (4) Minimize environmental and economic risk Policy 4B. The existing policy 4B is deleted and replaced with one which calls for the County to reduce the amount of waste requiring disposal through an increased reliance on recycling programs to the extent that the County waste management system shall achieve a 30 percent recycling rate. Policy 4C--- The existing policy is recommended to be incorporated into the new Objective 5. It is r—placed with one that encourages the County to promote the establishment and expansion of markets for products and materials created from recycled wastes through its own purchasing policies and by encouraging the purchase of such products by County vendors. clients and citizens. Policy 4D. This policy should eliminate its existing reference tot he solid waste plan and use somewhat updated language, but essentially remain the same. Policy 4E. This policy should be eliminated in its entirety and replaced with a new policy that calls for the County to minimize the amount of yard trash disposed of in landfills and the Resource Recovery Facility through the effective enforcement of the County's 96 -- 830 Page- V I I-58 yard waste ordinance and through the encouragement of yard waste reuse at the household level. Policy 4F This policy should be moved to Objective 5 and replaced with the former Policy 4R. Policy 4G. This policy should be moved to Objective 5 and modified. Policy 414. This policy should be incorporated into the new Policy 4E. The policy itself should be eliminated Policy 4h This policy should be eliminated in its entirety Policies 4J through 4Q These policies refer only to water and sewer operations, and is eliniinated it this subelement and moved to the new Potable Water and Sewer subelement Policy 4R. This policy should be moved to become the new Policy 4F and modified to reflect refined service areas. Objective 5: The existing Objective 5 is concerned only with potable water operations— It should be deleted from this element in its entirety and moved to the new Water and Sewer element It recommended that it be replaced with a new Objective that promotes the safe and efficient disposal of wastes through the development and maintenance of an integrated solid waste disposal system utilizing diverse technologiesl appropriate regulation, and equitable and responsible financing practices. Policy SA. This policy refers only to water and sewer operations, and is eliminated in this subelement and moved to the new Potable Water and Sewer subelement. It should be replaced with an updated version of the former Policy 4C, which calls for the County to achieve a balanced program of solid waste disposal which will include landfilll resource recoveryl and recycling Policy SB. The existing policy should move to the new Water and Sewer Element and replaced with a modified version of what was Policy 4G Policy SC:The existing policy should be moved to the new Water and Sewer Element and replaced with a modified version of what was Policy 4F This policy notes that, to assure that the capacity of the solid waste disposal system is used in a manner that will maximize the benefits for all of Dade County, the Department of Solid Waste Management shall not permit such capacity to be diminished by accepting waste 95 - 830 Page-VII-59 generated outside the disposal system unless specifically authorized by intergovernmental agreement. Policy SD:The existing policy should be moved to the new water and Sewer Element and not replaced. Policy SE.:This policy refers only to water and seNver operations. and is eliminated in this subelement and moved to the new Potable Water and Sewer subelement.

The City of Miami currently has 657 acres designated as recreation open space. Local recreation open space is therefore provided at a rate of 1.79 acres per 1,000 area residents significantly exceeding the minimum LOS standard Population growth projections and local recreation open space accrual trends indicate that the City of Miami will have a population of 374,982 people and 660 acres of recreation open space in 2000. Furthermore, recreation open space will be provided at a rate of 1.76 acres per 1,000 area residents, significantly more than that required by the minimum LOS standard. Achievement of Objectives 1. Increase public access to many identified recreation sites, facilities and open space and beaches 2. Increase the efficiency of park operations. 3. Ensure that future development and redevelopment play an equitable, proportional share of the cost of public open space and recreational facilities required to maintain adopted LOS standards. 4. Develop and enhance the quality of parks and open space within the City's downtown in a manner which address the needs of City residents, workers and visitors, and strengthen the city's economic development 5. By 1995, the City will have a defined cultural arts district within the downtown area, and a world class cultural performing arts facility will be built within the City by the year 2000. 6. Promote an increase in the number of small performing arts theaters within selected residential/commercial areas of the city. 95- 830 8/29/95 Page VIII-2 l Key Current Issues Among the key current issues in the Recreation and Open Space EAR are the following: • Hurricane Andrew caused significant damage to parks and recreation facilities • There is a need to allocate more resources to improve the quality of recreational programs Recommendations The key recommendations of the Recreation and Open Space EAR are the following: • Add new objective calling for the update of the City 1984 Recreation and Open Space Master Plan • Add new objective to encourage the private sector participation in assisting the City with the parks programs and facilities upgrade 95- 3301 8/29/95 Page V I I I-3 RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) is to evaluate and assess the effectiveness of the locally adopted comprehensive plan in accomplishing its adopted objectives, in addressing changes in local conditions, in addressing new requirements of State planning law, and in identifying changes need to update the element. This element evaluation has been prepared in substantial keeping with the EAR minimum criteria prescribed by Subsection 9J- 5.0053(6), F.A.C. In order to ensure that all EAR content requirements have been sufficiently addressed, the City of Miami Recreation and Open Space Element is organized into the following sections: Condition of Element at Date of Adoption; Condition of Element at Date of Report; Achievement of Objectives; Major Problems of Development, Physical Deterioration, Location of Land Uses, and Economic and Social effects of Identified Problems, New Issues and Unanticipated and Unforeseen Problems and Opportunities, Effects of Statutory and Rule Changes since 1988; Conclusion and Proposed Amendments. The purpose of each Section is described in its opening paragraph. The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) Recreation and Open Space Element sets the City's Goal, and Objectives, for meeting present and future recreational needs. It is City's Goal to provide adequate opportunities for active and passive recreation to all city residents. The Recreation and Open Space Element outlines eight key objectives in the achievement of this Goal. Recreational opportunities are provided by a number of public and private service providers in the City of Miami. 95- 830 Page VIII-4 CONDITION OF RECREATION AND TEN SPACE ELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION The purpose of this section of the EAR, as identified in Subsection 9.1-5.0053(6)(a)1., F.A.C., is to provide a summary of data and analysis describing baseline conditions of the Recreation and Open Space Element of the Miami Comprehensive Plan Neighborhood (MCNP) at the time of its adoption in 1988. The conditions inventoried and analyzed in this element were based on the most recent available data at that time. This summary Nvill address the pertinent Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., data and analysis requirements for the Recreation and Open Space Element. As stated above, this section of the EAR summarizes City of Miami's recreation and open space conditions in 1988. The adopted MCNP Recreation and Open Space Element addresses those components of the open space system that primarily serve recreational purposes. The Recreation and Open Space Element: 1) provides an overview of City's existing park and recreation systems; 2) examines the park system's various elements, operations, performance, and levels of service, and; 3) analyzes its current and projected capacity to meet recreational needs. The ultimate purpose of this Element is to ensure the provision of adequate parks and recreational opportunities to meet present and future needs. This evaluation provides a forum for updating the Element in accordance with the implementation status and changing priorities and conditions. Park Classifications There are six different types of facilities that serve City residents. Mini parks, (typically activity -based recreational sites) are designed primarily as open spaces. They are especially needed in high density areas, and are typically '/4 to 1 acre in size and service a population 500 to 2,000. The equipment found in mini parks is often determined by the target population group (e.g., young children., or the elderly) whose needs are being addressed. City standards strive to maintain 0.1 acres per 1,000 people. Neighborhood parks are intended to serve as centers for educational and cultural activities, as well as providing for recreational uses. When possible, neighborhood parks often adjoin public schools and compliment school playground areas. City standards strive to maintain 0.5 acres of park space per 1,000 people. Limited active recreational use is promoted in neighborhood parks, and therefore, amenities such as baseball diamonds and similar facilities are included in these parks service area radius range from 0.25 up to 0.5 mile. Park size range from 3 to 20 acres in size. Population service range from 1,500 to 4,000. 8/29/95 95- 839 Page VIII-5 Community Parks are significantly larger than neighborhood parks in both physical dimension as well as in the scope of services they provide. These parks represent the cornerstone of the City's public recreation effort and often witness the greatest focus of public concern. The typical community park is about 20 acres in size, has a service area radius of approximately 0.5 to 2.0 miles, and normally has the capacity to serve the needs of 8,000 to 25,000 residents. City standards strive to maintain 1.0 acres per 1,000 people. Extensive physical structures, including recreation buildings, swimming pools, tennis and multipurpose Courts, as well as playing fields are found in community parks. The large scrvice area of these facilities also requires the presence of significant off-street parking areas. Regional Parks are usually between 250 to 500 acres in size. Given the breadth of open space in these parks, they tend to serve both active and passive recreational uses, and a variety of physical structures serving public needs can be accommodated within these sites. These parks are most often resource -based. Metropolitan parks can serve the entire City and the larger metropolitan region. Proper utilization of this type of facility may, therefore, hinge on its regional accessibility. The extent of the service area also implies that development, maintenance and operating costs of these facilities should be shared on a region -wide basis whenever feasible. Intergovernmental coordination in the planning and operation of these park resources may very well determine the degree to which such facilities effectively and efficiently meet the community's open space needs. Within the City, Bayfront and Bicentennial Parks, Watson Island, Virginia Key and Dinner Key can either be classified as, or can be developed into metropolitan parks. These parks can also attract out-of-town visitors and, perform a broader community function than that of a public recreational amenity. A metropolitan park can serve as a focal point for civic pride and unity, as well as project a strong positive image of the City. The fifth group of facilities are specialized uses of open green space such as Parkways and scenic corridors. Both of these facilities accommodate passive recreational use and serve important functions in an urban environment. These spaces may be used to link various segments of commercial areas, or link commercial areas with residential areas, and strengthen pedestrian traffic networks. Parkways and scenic corridors may also serve as effective buffer zones between residential and nonresidential land uses. The last type of facilities providing recreational services are marinas and golf courses. Both of these facilities compete with similar private sector facilities, are operated as self -financed enterprises, and are financed primarily through user fees. A.

It is located on Virginia Key, See Figure 4. A majority of the public beach area on the Key is currently being used as a public park with picnic and swimming activities along with limited concessions to serve the park users; however, as indicated on Figure 4. over 70+ acres of land (public recreation space and beaches), immediately north of the Riekenbacker Causeway, along Bear Cut, is currently closed to the public. Reasons for this closure are, an eroding beach, dangerous currents and a lack of park staff' to supervise the area. It is only used for special events at this time; however, the adopted Virginia Key Master Plan which was prepared in June of 1987, calls for this area to be restored (dune restoration) and to reopen as a public, active recreation park, which is to be privately managed. lc. Existing Private Recreation Sites and Open Spaces Within the City of Miami, there are two types of private open spaces which meet the open space needs of the City's residents, employees and visitors; they are private office building plazas and outdoor retail gatlicring/performance building plazas. Both are open to all people at all times of the day. Private open spaces such as these are widely scattered throughout the City and therefore impossible to map individually, however, there exists two very strong concentrations of private office plazas and one major retail gathering/performance plaza within the city that warrant mapping. (See figures 3 and 5). The office plaza concentrations worth noting are those found along the Brickell Avenue office corridor and those located in the central business district of Coconut Grove. These office plaza spaces primarily serve the open space needs of the City's employees and visitors during the lunch hours. Some of them even contain small cafes or snack bars. The retail gathering/performance plaza worth nothing can be found at Bayside Specialty Center on the Waterfront of Downtown Miami. The Bayside Plaza accommodates all types of performances from one man magic shows to musical bands. Over 12 million people have been estimated at visiting Bayside in it's first year; and it's plaza serves a vital open space function to the City of Miami. B) A Summary of the analysis from the adopted plan 1) Current need for recreation sites Table 4 below describes the needs of the City in terms of park and open space area per planning district. These statistics suggest that park and open space needs are greater in the Allapattah, Little Havana, Flagami and Northeast districts than in the remainder of the City. (See Neighborhood Location Map, Figure 1.) These are areas with some of the highest residential densities, lowest amount of parks and open space per resident, and lowest family income levels. The residential neighborhoods near the central core also experience a strong need for public recreational facilities. 95- 839 8/29/95 Page VIII-9 S't ®�g=9�—i—■�— 'L ACLU ST Sr S ST (• u IT •IND RD TF-- PWNCIAN► AVE EXISTING !CONCENTRATION OF PRIVATE OPEN SPACES .OITN IA W n ST DAY cs...

The City oi- Miami had 551 acres of parks in 1988. When compared to the 1988 population of 381.978, these facilities were provided at a rate of 1.44 acres per 1000 residents. It should be noted that if 13ayfront Park and Virginia Key were added to the existing park acreage to total park acreage would be 1,108 acres represent 2.90 acres per 1000 residents.

Utilizing state and federal grants monies, together with City financial resources, at least 27 facilities have been fully accessible to wheelchairs and another 22 facilities are partially accessible. Five of the ten City swimming pools are fully accessible. 2) Projected need for recreation sites The following Tables 5 and 6 indicate the anticipated needs (in acres) of recreation sites and open space. These figures are based on anticipated population increases between 1988 and 2000, and the City of Miami's adopted Level of Service Standards for acres per thousand residents. It can be seen that the City has enough park acreage to cope with the projected needs. In order to ensure the highest quality recreation and open space facilities, the City of Miami also has in place an "Impact Fee Ordinance" which was created in order to finance capital improvement costs related to new development and redevelopment. The Impact Fee Ordinance also sets standards and guidelines by which anticipated needs for recreation and open space are determined. It also estimates the costs involved with recreation and open space rehabilitation and prioritizes the existing park and recreation facilities rehabilitation work above the acquisition of new land for park facilities. The City also a Capital Improvement program where different 95- 830 8/29/95 Page VIII-10 funding sources are identified and resources are allocated in order to implement the improvements. The following Table 7 indicates the Parks and Recreation Impact Fee Capital Projects Cost Schedule Summary.

Future recreational uses in the City of Miami are related to land uses. In 1960 there were 631 acres of land (3.6%) devoted for recreational uses. Due to increased demand land uses devoted for recreational use increase to 825 acres of land (5.3%) in 1988. Table 8 Land Use Distribution (in acres),1960 through 1988, City of Miami.

The EAR must describe these updated current conditions to sufficiently address the element specific rule requirements of Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. In most elements this section will present a description of element conditions between 1988 and 1995, or use the latest data for which information is available. In this way a convenient comparison of changed conditions is presented in order to provide a basis for identifying significant trends and new developments. also included in this section is a summary of all element amendments since the date of plan adoption, and a description of relevant planning activities or studies that were completed between 1988 and 1995, or that may be ongoing. The Recreation and Open Space Element is based upon the requirements outlined in Subsection 9J-5.014, F.A.C. This subsection of the EAR updates the data on which the Recreation and Open Space Element was based in 1988 in order to reflect current conditions. The updated data will be used to analyze current conditions based upon the adopted LOS standard of 1.3 acres of local recreation open space per 1,000 area residents. The current LOS will be compared to that existing in 1988 to gauge progress in meeting the standard since the date of adoption. In addition, the recreation open space needs will be projected from 1994 to 2000 based on current trends and population projections. The analysis will provide an indication of future progress and/or deficiencies based on the current LOS standard. A. Summary description of current recreation and open space data. 1. Existing public and private recreation sites and open space available to the public. a) Inventory of existing Public recreational sites available to the public. There are currently a total of 657 acres of public land used of recreational sites in the City of Miami, reflecting a increase of 106 acres from the local recreation open space overage reported in 1988, see table #9. These sites are classified as Mini Parks, Neighborhood and Community Parks. These increases are due to acquisition of land since the date of adoption and changes in definition of local recreation open space including the addition of the picnic island that were not counted in 1988. 8/29/95 95- 830 Page VIII-14 Table 9 Inventory of Existing Parks, Recreation and Open Space Sites by Planning Districts 1995 Type ol' Park- Planning Districts Coll) nunity Nei'dhhorhood Mini Total Acreage Northeast (A) 151.63 24.24 6.81 182.68 Downtown (I3) 120.81 56.57 7.47 184.85 Coconut Grove (C) 101.90 13.46 1.52 116.88 Little Havana (D) 15.59 2.01 37.3 Flagami (E) _19.70 43.94 7.14 2.15 53.23 Allapattah (F) 68.55 11.01 2.49 82.05 Total Acreage 506.53 128.01 22.45 656.99 Source: Planning, Building and Zoning Department, Neighborhood Planning Section Parks & Recreation Department b) Existing Private Recreation Sites and Open Spaces Within the City of Miami, there are two types of private open spaces which meet the open space needs of the City's residents, employees and visitors; they are private office building plazas and outdoor retail gathering performance building plazas.

Private open spaces such as these are widely scattered throughout the City and therefore impossible to map individually, however, there exists two very strong concentrations of private office plazas and one major retail gathering/perfornance plaza within the city that warrant mapping. (See figure 3). The office plaza concentrations worth noting are those found along the Brickell Avenue office corridor and those located in the central business district of Coconut Grove. The office plaza spaces primarily serve the open space needs of the city's employees and visitors during the lunch hours. Some of them even contain small cafes or snack bars. The retail gathering/performance plaza worth noting can be found at Bayside Specialty Center on the Waterfront of Downtown Miami. The Bayside Plaza accommodates all types of performances from one man magic shows to musical bands. Over 12 million people have been estimated at visiting Bayside in it's first year; and it's plaza serves a vital open space function to the City of Miami. c) Addressing the Needs of Special Population The City of Miami Parks and Recreation Department recognize that person with disabilities, the elderly and the youth are special population groups that need specialized service. There is a need to continue to increase public access to public facilities including the beaches. B. Summary Description of Current Recreation and Open Space Analysis 1) Current Needs For Recreational Sites 8/29/95 95- 830 Page V I I I-15 The City has a network of 102 parks and recreational facilities which provide an important service to the City residents. especially low and moderate income households. There are 21 Community park, 33 neighborhood parks, and 48 miniparks. Most of the parks were built. before 1970, only one new neighborhood park has been built recently and three neighborhood parks (Hadley, African Square and Curtis) has experienced renovations. however, due to intensive use and age, the City's existing pork facilities and deteriorating. There is need to modernize and upgrade these parks and recreational facilities. The biggest deficiencies in open space occurs in Little Havana, Flagami, and Allapattah. See Table 0. Parks and recreation demand is affected by increased land use and population density as well as, household income of residents. The City of Miami is the Central City and the most densely populated City In Dade County and the State of Florida. Miami is the 4th poorest City, for Cities over 100,000 people, in the United States according to the 1990 Census. Between 1980 and 1994 there has been an increase in multifamily residential development xvith a corresponding household total population. Poverty has increased since 1989. The number of persons under 18 years increased by 11.3% since 1990 in the City of Miami from 74,094 in 1980 to 82,485 in 1990. Persons under 18 years in poverty has increased 39.1% since 1980 from 24.993 persons in 1980 to 34,776 in 1990, resulting in 42.2% of those under 18 years being below the poverty level. With the decline in household income for City residents, the role of public recreational opportunities (facilities) intensifies since private recreation options are beyond the scope of the typical family budget. One of the City's most serious needs is the lack of adequate recreational. programs for its youth, including summer camps, and recreational programs, in neighborhood parks and improved park/facilities. Trends in land use, demographics and income indicates that the need for adequately maintained park and recreational facilities has intensified. The importance of recreation and open space to the welfare of City residents in growing. 95- 830 Page VIII-16 Table 90 Inventory of Existing Parks, Recreation Sites Planning District Acres Type of Park Type of Recreation Location District (A) Northeast c Cn E 8 °o 0 .0 ICU: 'E N 0 E- n. 7-50 U o a Al Belle Meade 0.4 769 NE 77 St A2 Biscayne Heights 0.04 8400 E Dixie Hwy A3 Crestwood 1 NW 11 Ave & 48 St A4 Little River Commerce 0.22 8024 NE 77 St A5 Miller Dawkins East Bay Vista 1 A6 North Bay Vista 0.5 _ 4850 NW 6 Ave A7 Oakland Grove 0.2 1 INE 3 Ave & 84 St A8 Pullman 0.4 _ N Miami Ave & NW 49 St _ A9 Simon Off/ 54th Street 1.5 NW 54 St & 18 Ave A10 South Bay Vista 0.2 NW 6 Ave btwn 11 PI All 12th Avenue 0.25 NW 62 St & 12 Ave Al2 West Buena Vista 1.1 B1 African Square 1.17 1400 NW 62 Ave B2 Baywood 1.87 890 NE 69 St B3 Buena Vista 1.2 5250 NW 2 Ave B4 Eaton_ 6.21 1 6015 NE 4 Ct B5 Lemon City 2.3 NE 58 St & Miami Ct B6 Paeiot, Albert 3 N of 36 St in Biscayne Bay B7 Stearns 5.4 S of NE 38 St & 6 Ave B8 Tacolcy 3.09 6161 NW 9 Ave C1 Athalie Range 11.85 525 NW 62 St C2 Hadley 29.7 1300 NW 50 St C3 Legion 13.7 6447 NE 7 Ave C4 Morningside 42.38 750 NE 55 Terrace S1 Picnic Islands 54 Biscayne Bay ource: City of Miami Planning; Building and Zoning Department; Neighborhood Planning Sect. arks and Recreation Department CjC r Oc Table 10 Inventory of Existing Parks, Recreation Sites Planning District Acres Type of Park IType of Recreationj L o c a t i o n District (8) Downtown _ (ti O m E E 0a) t� fl I--U .2 'E Fff al N a (U as C ro ? cn a Al Brickell Plaza Allen Morris 0.1 SE 1 Ave & 10 St A2 Central Mini 0.18 1417 N Miami Ave A3 Culmer/ (2nd Ave Mini) 0.2 NW 2 Ave btwn 10 -11 St A4 Fort Dallas 0.65 60 SE 4 ST A5 Highland Mini 0.3 NW 8 Ave & 13 St _ A6 Jackson House 0.17 190 SE 12 Terrace A7 Martell, Elizabeth( Wynn) 0.6 NE 36 St & 7 Ave A8 Miami River Walk 0.7 SE 2 Ave Brickell A9 Miramar " A - D " 0.88 NE 4 Ave 17 Terr & 19 St A10 Paul Walker 0.12 46 West Flagler St All Rainbow Village 1.52 2001 NW 4 Court Al2 Town Park Mini 1.5 NW 4 Ave & 17 St A13 Woodson/ Miami Design Plaza 0.4 NE 36 St & 2 Ave A14 Wynwood Mini 0.15 229 NW 30 St B1 Biscayne 7.32 NE 19 St & 1 Ave B2 Brickell 2.2 501 Brickell Ave B3 City Cemetary 9.7 1800 NW 2 Ave B4 Dorsey ( Overtown) 2.52 1701 NW 1 Ave B5 Gibson 8.04 401 NW 12 St B6 Lummus 5.9 _ 404 NW 3 St B7 Margaret Pace 12 _ N Bayshore Dr/ 17 Terr & 2 Ave 68 Robert E.

Objective achievement analysis may involve the use of baseline data that csisted at the time of adoption and for current conditions that arc described in previous sections of this FAR. The comparison of such data provides a useful benchmark for deterinining achievement of the objectives over the last six years. In other instances where objectives arc morc directory in nature, acknowledgment of implementation will be used to assess achievement.

MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, LOCATION OF LAND USES, AND THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS This section of the EAR examines major problems of development. physical deterioration, and the location of land uses as related to the community's recreation sites and open space and the social, and economic effects of these problems as required by subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(a)4, F.A.C. a) Major Problems of Development The City of Miami is the central city of Dade County and most of the land is already developed. Most of the development with the neighborhoods is in -till development. The population growth is not as high as estimated. The 1988 plan estimated a 1995 population of 390,000 and a 2000 population of 400,000 compared to the EAR estimates of 366,665 for 1995 and 374,982 for the year 2000. The City of Miami has successfully maintained the adopted LOS since the date of adoption. The major development since 1988 has occurred in Downtown Miami which has ample recreation and open space facilities. Some of the funds available for improving park facilities has decreased because development in the City has not occurred as anticipated, revenues to the City have not increased as anticipated, and federal funding programs have decreased. b) Physical deterioration of Public facilities Most of the parks and recreational facilities in the City of Miami were built before 1970, also the most of these facilities has intensive use, therefore physical deterioration occurs, however, the City of Miami has a Capital Improvements Program in place which allocates funds to upgrade these facilities. Since 1988 the City spent approximately $20 million (excluding Bayfront Park) in capital funds for park improvements. However, Hurricane Andrew produced a unanticipated need for the replacement and repair of parks and recreation facilities. c) Location of land uses The City of Miami is already developed, future development is expected to occur an in -fill bases. The rate of development occurred since the adoption of the plan less than anticipated. However, within the neighborhoods of the City of Miami areas such as Little Havana, Allapattah and Flagami has some open space deficiencies as well as higher densities of development. 95- 830 8/29/95 Page VIII-21 d) Social and economic effects of major problem Immigration is a problem in the City of Miami because most of the immigrants come with very limited resources and live in poverty and use some existing parks extensively. NEW ISSUES AND UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES Subsection 9J-5.0053(5)(a)5., F.A.C. requires the EAR to identify, describe and evaluate how new issues, problems and opportunities have affected the plan elements since adoption. Described below are all problems, and opportunities that have impacted the Element since 1988. Since 1988, one unforeseen problem have had significant impacts on the Recreation and Open Space Element. On August 24. 1992, Hurricane Andrew struck Dade County, resulting in significant damage to park and recreation facilities. As a result of these impacts, significant amounts of capital improvement funding was diverted from other projects for the rehabilitation and repair of hurricane -damaged facilities. New Issues and Unanticipated and Unforeseen Problems -Hurricane Andrew Impact On August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew struck Dade County, resulting in extensive damage to recreation and open space facilities. As a result of these impacts, approximately $2.5 million has been allocated for the rehabilitation and restoration of Hurricane -damaged City -owned recreation facilities. Therefore, Hurricane Andrew effectively changed the priorities for recreation open space capital expenditures since the date of adoption. Because there was no way that the impact of hurricane Andrew could have been predicted, and because such unexpected events cannot be predicted in the future, it is not recommended that the rehabilitation of existing facilities take top priority as a result of the high allocation of funds for these activities since 1988. Hurricane Andrew has therefore had a major impact on the Recreation and Open Space Element since the date of adoption. Because the impact of these events cannot be predicted, it is difficult to develop objectives and policy clusters addressing these impacts. For this reason, no amendments to the Recreation and Open Space Element addressing this issue are recommended. 8/29/95 EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1.988 Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(a)6., F.A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in: I ) Section 187.02, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP), 2) The appropriate strategic regional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, Part I1, F.S. (Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria for Review of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32. Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP). These plans, in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above -referenced statutory and rule changes, this element will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Section 187.201(10), F.S. (Natural Systems and Recreational Lands) contains a goal and policies relevant to the Recreation and Open Space Element. Since 1988, there have been no amendments to this section of the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP) that had an impact on the Recreation and Open Space Element. This Element remains consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. CONSISTENCY WITH THE STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN FOR SOUTH FLORIDA In February 1995 the South Florida Regional Planning Council released a proposed draft for the revised Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) for South Florida. This subsection of the EAR will identify regional goals and policies in the draft plan which are relevant to the Recreation and 95- 830 8/29/95 Page VIII-24 Open Space Element, focusing on Element consistency with the identified SRPP goals and policies. Strategic Regional Goal 2.1 calls for the achievement of long term efficient and sustainable development patterns by guiding development and redevelopment to the areas most suitable for development, including: 1) areas in which public facilities already exist or are programmed. Furthermore. Regional Policy 2.1.6 calls for encouraging local governments to direct future development to areas served with existing development. The Park Concurrency requirement addressed in the Recreation and Open Space Element serves as an incentive for directing growth to areas with an adequate facility capacity. "Therefore, the Recreation and Open Space Element is consistent with Regional Goal 2.3, and no anlendments are necessary. Strategic Regional Goal 2.2. Policy 2.2.9 states that redevelopment should address the need to preserve historical. archaeological, and architectural resources through measures such as the adoption of a historic preservation ordinance. Recreation and Open Space Element Objective PR.2.1 call for preservation of unique natural landscape features of neighborhood parks, and appropriate development for the long-term integrity and viability of historic and archaeological sites located within City of Miami parks. Therefore, the Recreation and Open Space Element is consistent with Regional Policy 2.2.9. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.4 states that decisions regarding the location, rate, and intensity of development shall be based on the existing or programmed capacity of infrastructure and services. The Park Concurrency requirement sufficiently addresses this policy by requiring that adequate park facilities be in -place or programmed before development is approved. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.10 and 2.3.11 respectively call for the prioritization of the construction, maintenance, or reconstruction of public facilities to serve existing development, and for encouraging new development to use existing facilities and services. The city's sets criteria for the prioritization of capital expenditure for recreation open space. This criteria sufficiently addresses regional policies 2.3.10 and 2.3.11 by prioritizing the maintenance of the LOS Standard and the rehabilitation and maintenance of existing facilities. Therefore, the Element is consistent with these policies. Furthermore, the Park Concurrency Requirement serves as an incentive to locate new development in areas in which an adequate facility capacity exists. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.16 calls for utilizing the existing infrastructure capacity of regional facilities to the maximum extent feasible prior to encouraging facility expansion or the development of new capacity. The intent of this Policy is to ensure cost-effectiveness in the provision of regional services. The Recreation and Open Space Element is consistent with this policy in the Recreation and Open Space, which prioritizes capital expenditures to maintain a LOS that addresses demonstrated needs. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.17 calls for permitting new development only when and where adequate excess capacity exists or is programmed. The Park Concurrency and Impact Fee 95-- 830 8/29/95 Page VIII-25 requirements ensure that new development occurs where adequate capacity exists. The Recreation and Open Space Element is consistent with this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.27 states that all local government comprehensive plans and land development regulations should include mechanisms to finance new public facilities incorporating the benefit principal of cost allocation among existing and future residents. The Recreation and Open Space Element is consistent with this regional policy. Strategic Regional Policies 2.3.28 and 2.3.34 call for the establishment of impact fees and a variety of other financing mechanisms for the provision of public facilities and services. The Recreation and Open Space Element is consistent with these regional policies. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART II, FLORIDA STATUTES The requirements of Section 163.3177(6)(e), F.S, for the Recreation and Open Space Element have not been amended since 1988. Therefore, the City of Miami Recreation and Open Space Element remains consistent with these provisions. In 1993, Chapter 163, Part 1I, F.S. was amended to add Section 163.3180, F.S., which entailed requirements relating to concurrency. This is already incorporated into the C'ity's Concurrency Management Program for recreation open space. The Recreation and Open Space Element is consistent with this change. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 9.I-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, (F.A.C.) There have been a number of changes to Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. that have impacted the Recreation and Open Space Element since the date of adoption. These changes are outlined below. Definitions for "concurrency management system", "level of service", facility availability", and "public facilities" have been added to Rule 9J-5 since the date of adoption. These definitions impact the Recreation and Open Space Element by setting the parameters for the development of concurrency management systems and LOS standards. In November 1989, new Subsection 9J-5.0055, F.A.C. relating to concurrency management systems was added to the Rule, and was subsequently amended in 1994 to be consistent with Section 163.32180, F.S. This subsection sets minimum standards for concurrency. The City Recreation and Open Space Element and the description of the City's Concurrency Management system in the Capital Improvements Element are with these requirements. Subsection 9J-5.014, F.A.C. sets the overall element requirements for the Recreation and Open Space Element. Since 1988, there have been no additions and deletions to this section. 95- 830 8/29/95 Page VIII-26 Therefore, the City Recreation and Open Space element remains consistent with the requirements of the section. CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL. LAWS This subsection will identify state or federal laws amended or adopted between 1988 and the present that have had a significant impact on the Recreation and Open Space Element. The only new federal or state law relevant to the Recreation and Open Space Element since the date of adoption is the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). _Adopted on July 26, 1990, ADA is a civil rights law intended to guarantee persons Nvit17 disabilities access to every critical area of life. Title II of ADA prohibits state and local governments from discriminating against persons with disabilities in the provision of services, programs, and activities. City of Miami is thereby compelled to ensure that park and recreational facilities and programs are accessible to persons with disabilities. Since the date of adoption, in capital budget fiends have been allocated for handicapped accessibility improvements at City park sites. The majority of these dollars have been allocated for handicap ramps, toilets rooms, and swimming pool accessibility. CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS This section of the element cvai_uation presents a summary of general conclusions and identifies needed actions and/or proposed plan amendments to address or implement identified changes as discussed in other section of this report. Proposed revisions may include the identification of new and revised goals and objectives. While actual proposed amendment language is not included, the general nature or types of changes are clearly described. All proposed revisions presented here have been carefully linked to the evaluation of current conditions within the City, objective achievement, issues, problems, and opportunities and other sections of this element report.

The existing conditions and trends are as follows: Natural Coastal Systems: Dade County's and the City of Miami coastal resources are rich in biodiversity and contain native plant and animal species found nowhere else in the world. Between 1988 and 1994, slightly less than 5 acres of coastal wetlands were impacted by dredging, filling or other activities. During the six year time frame, more than 10 acres of coastal wetlands were created or restored. Over 5,000 linear feet of riprap or mangrove planters are in public ownership along the shoreline of Biscayne Bay. This represents an increase since 1989. There are approximately 21 linear miles of beaches in Dade County and 2.5 miles of beaches within the City of Miami.. Between 1989 and 1994. Following Hurricane Andrew the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers attributes restored beaches and dunes as reversing an estimated $20 million worth of property damage. It is anticipated that beach renourishment projects will continue. Statistical analysis are conducted on water quality monitoring data from the sampling location in Biscayne Bay, and major tributaries such as the Miami River. One hundred seventeen, or 78% of the 150 statistically significant trends identified showed improvement over the course of thirteen years. Significant improvement s were made in turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and total coliform bacteria. Dade County and the City of Miami will continue to closely monitor and implement projects to improve water quality. The Built Environment: Coastal resources attract both residents and tourists to the City of Miami and Dade County. Recreation, marine services, and the seafood industry, among other interest, are coastal activities that contribute billions of dollars annually to the federal, state, and local economy. Despite intense development within the coastal area and along the shoreline of Dade County, large tracts of land are in public ownership as national, state, and local parks and preserves. These parks and preserves provide numerous public opportunities for water -dependent and water -related uses. Additionally, 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 3 the private sector contributes a substantial amount of coastal recreation and water- dependent/related business in the City of Miami. Within the past several years, the economic as well as the environmental benefits of preserving natural areas has become increasingly apparent. Following Hurricane Andrew in 1992. there was intense pressure to reopen major coastal parks for use by residents and in time for tourist season. It is anticipated that public and political support for coastal parks and preserves and marine interests will continue The Built Environmental: includes roadways, bridges, and water and sewer facilities, stormwater, drainage, public buildings, marinas, boat ramps, shoreline protection structures, and beach renourishment and revegetation. Since the City of Miami is 95% built out within the Urban Development Boundaries (UDB), with only a few remaining undeveloped large tracts of land, much of the City of Miami infrastructure has been in existence for decades. This is particularly true in the coastal area. Existing residents of these areas, and tourists, rely on infrastructure in good condition for every day usage and emergency evacuation from hurricanes. The problem with infrastructure in the City of Miami is typically not a matter of insufficient infrastructure but that of maintenance and replacement. Natural Disaster Planning: Within the United States, South Florida ranks the high-test area of hurricane vulnerability. Although there was a substantial gap of 21 years between major hurricanes striking Dade County , the National Hurricane Center warns that hurricanes are cyclic and recasts that the cycle of occurrence has returned to South Florida, potentially to the 1940's era of regular landfalls. Since Hurricane Andrew, pre -and post -storm natural disaster planning has intensified. In 1993, Florida Chapter 163, Rule 9J-5.003(14) redefined the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) was eliminated and replaced by the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone (HVZ) which encompasses the CHHA and adds Hurricane Categories 2 and 3. This "coastal high risk area" contains an existing residential population of 302,507, approximately 15.1% of the total Dade County population of 2 million. In the past several years since Hurricane Andrew and several other tropical storm and flood events, both the federal and state governments are urging the implementation of hazard mitigation measures to reduce the risk to lives and property from natural disasters. Hazard mitigation includes land use policies to restrict increased development in coastal high risk areas, particularly the CHHA, conducting pre -storm studies to implement both before and after a major storm event, inventorying public facilities within the HVZ for pre and post -storm decision -making and courses of action such as shuttering facilities and retrofitting existing structures to wind and flood harden. 95- UO In addition to hazard mitigation and pre -storm preparation, post -storm response and recovery are especially important to large urban urban areas that are already developed with a complex population. Cultural, language,and economic barriers contribute to the task adequately prepare, evacuate, shelter, and provide post -storm temporary housing for thousands of people in the event of major hurricane destruction. Historic Preservation: Since N iami developed along its shoreline and waterways, a large majority of historic and archaeological findings are within the coastal area. In total, 385 historic and archaeological sites, districts, and zones within the coastal area have been placed on special designation lists including: (1) National Landmarks, (134) National Register of Historic Places. Varying degrees of protection from the impacts of development activities exist for cultural resources in the coastal zone. The Citv Historic Preservation Ordinance offers the best protection for designated sites. They review and regulate construction and demolition for activities at designated sites. This requires review and regulation of construction and demolition activities at designated sites through the issuinance of Certificates of Appropriateness and Certificates of Dig. Dade County and the City of Miami is also offers tax incentives to property owners who rehabilitate owners historic sites.. A special concern for historic structures is to protect them from natural disasters through the implementation of pre -storm hazard mitigation measures. ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The City made good progress in achieving the following objectives of the Coastal Management Element during the 1989 - 1994 evaluation period. Objective 1. To protect, conserve and enhance coastal wetlands, living marine resources, and wildlife habitats. Objective 2. To protect, conserve or enhance beaches and dunes and offshore reef communities. Objective 4. To maintain or increase the amount of shoreline devoted to water -dependent and water -related uses. Objective 5. To maintain or lower the existing time period required to complete the evacuation of people from flood vulnerable Coastal Areas and mobiles home prior to the arrival of sustained tropical storm force winds. Objective 6. To reduce the exposure of life and property in Dade County and the City of Miami to hurricanes through the implementation of hazard mitigation measures. Population concentration shall be directed away from the undeveloped designated CHHA and identified high risk areas during post -disaster redevelopment. Objective 7. To assist areas damaged by hurricanes with recovery measures that reduce the potential for future loss of life and property. Objective 9. To increase public access to beaches and shores, preserve traditional shoreline uses an minimize impacts of man-made structures and activities on coastal. resources. Objective 10. To protect, preserve, and sensitively reuse historic resources and increase the number of locally designated historic sites and districts and archaeological sites and zones. The City made reasonable progress in achieving the following objectives of the Coastal Management Element: Objective 3. To maintain and improve the quality of coastal and estuarine waters to meet all applicable federal, state, and local water quality standards. Objective 8. To ensure that infrastructure is available to serve the development and redevelopment proposed in the Land Use Element for the Coastal Area. Objective 11. To improve the public's appreciation and awareness of City of Miami coastal resources CURRENT ISSUES Several issues were identified under new issues and unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities within Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). The most pertinent are listed as follows: Protection of the West Indian Manatee that lives and frequents Dade County's and the City of Miami watenvays. The plight of this endangered species is indicative need to protect marine and coastal wildlife and wildlife habitat. Conflicts between man and wildlife need to be avoided. City of Miami has adopted polices to protect rare, threatened, endangered, and species of special concern and their habitat. Operation of the water management system. The timing and volume of water deliveries into the coastal waters of the City of Nvlianii and Dade County has been significantly altered for decades. Historically, water flowed slowly through the natural drainage area, or sloughs, during the long rainy season and a large volume of groundwater seeped into Biscayne Bay and its tributaries. Today, the natural system has been reversed; groundwater flows have been reduced and large volumes of freshwater are released through flood control gates into Biscayne Bay. These large pulse discharges bring unknown quantities of pollutants that may be harming Biscayne Bay's estaurine functions. Estaurine functions are a key issue in several federal and regional studies on restoration Biscayne Bay. Shoreline Public Access for Water -Dependent and Water -Related Uses refers to the provision of public and private facilities for residents and tourist. The City of Miami has a large number of shoreline and coastal parks and preserves within its boundaries under the jurisdictions of all levels of govenunent and the private sector. Since 1983, the City of Miami and Dade County Shoreline Development Review Process requires new public and private development of redevelopment along the shoreline of Biscayne Bay to provide physical and/or visual public access to the water. The strong demand for public access to water -dependent and water -related activities is expected to continue. Public Awareness and Appreciation of Coastal Resources should be expanded to include the quantification and promotion of economic, health, recreational, and environmental benefits to the community. In this manner, tax -paying residents and governments providing funding grants will know the full value of expending monies to preserve coastal resources. Natural Disasters, the planning and implementation, of hurricane preparedness, response, recovery, hazard mitigation, and post -disaster redevelopment is more important than ever. Federal and State governments are strongly encouraging local governments to adopt land use policies and hazard mitigation measures that will reduce the risk of lives and property to future major storm events. The Dade County Hazard Mitigation Plan was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in May 1993. This plan will be update and incorporate post -disaster redevelopment planning to position City of Miami to take advantage of existing and future Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) public assistance and hazard mitigation funding. 95-- 839 Page -IX 7 Recomendations The key recommendations for revising Objectives for the Coastal Management Element are: 1. Create a new objective (4) focused entirely on coastal wildlife and wildlife habitat including protecting rare, threatened, and endangered wildlife and habitat restoration. 2. Focus Objective 3 on the development of antidegredation targets to protect Outstanding Florida Waters and Outstanding National Resource Waters of Biscayne Bay.. 3. Preserve traditional shoreline uses and activities, such as swimming, boating , fishing, and minimize user conflicts, including those between man and wildlife. 4. Improve public awareness and appreciation of coastal resources and available water - dependent and water -related uses. COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT INTRODUCTION The Evaluation and Appraisal Report for the Coastal Management Element documents the implementation status of goals, objectives and policies recommended during this Five Year period from the 1989. The City of Miami Comprehensive Development Master Plan. The Coastal Management Element builds on one decade of planning evaluating and monitoring the City of Miami Coastal Area as required by Chapter 163. F.S. and Chapter 9J-5 F.A.C. The Coastal Management Element addresses five major topics: Natural Coastal Systems, the Built Environment, Natural Disaster Planning Historic Preservation. The purpose of the Coastal Management Element is to create plans of actions and provide for the protection of coastal resources, human lives and property from natural disasters; to improve shores and public access to beaches and to maintain or increase the amount of shoreline devoted to water -dependent or water -related uses. The Coastal Area is defined separately for the natural environment and the built environment figure IV.1 shows the boundaries and "coastal areas" of the jurisdiction of the City of Miami. Dade County and the City of Miami built environment is based the "coastal planning area" which in the City of Miami is the coastal high risk area, Hurricane Evacuation Area Categories 1-3 as shown in Figure IV.2. The hurricane evacuating areas have changedsince 1989 as planning related to coastal areas focused more on pre- and post - disaster hazard mitigation. CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION The Coastal Management Element prepared in 1989 reflected that not many cities in the nation have such enviable setting as the natural environment and beauty as Biscayne Bay. The Bay provides for the local and visiting public with innumerable recreational opportunities that are seldom available in other parts of the country. The Port of Miami and the commercial activities on the Miami River have raised Miami to the stature of an international center for import and export to the Caribbean and other parts of the world. The Coastal real estate constitute a multi -billion investment in property and structures, the Cruise industry is one of the largest in the United States. Local parks and marinas were sited in the coastal area to take advantage of the natural water resources to provide water -dependent public use. In summary, the diversity of uses of the coastal area and shoreline is Miami's most important asset in terms of natural resources. The information presented in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report is drawn from a number of city, County and State sources, the Update Database and Analysis and Key points from the 1989 Coastal Management Element are summarized below. BOUNDARIES AND COASTAL AREAS The coastal area encompasses waters and submerged lands of oceanic or estuaries water bodies; shorelines adjacent to oceanic or estuarine water bodies; shorelines adjacent to oceanic or estuaries; coastal barriers; living marine resources; marine wetlands; water dependent facilities or water related facilities on oceanic beaches or estuarine waters and public access facilities to oceanic waters or estuarine shorelines. Miami's coastal area is comprised of land area along the shoreline of Biscayne Bay, Little River and Miami River, upland to the first major right-of-way parallel to the shorelines; it also includes all of the area in the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone. The entire portion of all other natural and man made islands that occur on Biscayne Bay are included as well along with the water bodies adjacent to those shorelines and within the City's boundaries. 8/28195 95- 830 Page -IX 10 i n GC t� Figure_ IV.t '1 Existing band Inventory and Analysis The City of Miami has approximately fifty miles of shoreline along Biscayne Bay including shoreline attributable to the spoil islands and causeways located off the mainland. The Little River area in the northern section of the City is comprised of approximately three and one half miles of shoreline. The Miami River, bisecting the City nearly at the center, is comprised of approximately ten miles of shoreline. The total land area within the coastal boundary is approximately 6,300 acres. The total submerged land area within the City boundary (Biscayne Bay, Miami River, and Little River) is approximately 12,000 acres. w e © RESIDENTIAL Q 7 W()USTRIAL 'PARKS/OPEN SPACE INSTITUTIONAL COMMERCIAL E:Z:-] TRANSPORTATION COMMUNICATIONS UTILITIES TH BAY CSWY J w Go © RESIOENTkL ® INDUSTRIAL PARKS/OPEN SPA, INSTITUTIONAL COMMERCIAL C— TRANSPORTATION COMMUNICATIONS' UTILITIES w C3* i 00 INDUSTRIAL PARKS/OPEN SPACE INSTITUTIONAL COMMERCIAL C� COMMUN RTATION UTILITIES lilt unn �`fll 9i It S �I�Q ! li IIIIjjj'�I I ; 'li6i �i rII�I'jI`�j ,1 6.

WATER -DEPENDENT AND WATER -RELATED USES. Figure IV.S graphically identities water dependent and water related uses in the coastal area. Water dependent uses are defined as activities which can be carried out only on, in or adjacent to water areas because the use requires access to the water bodv for: waterborne transportation including ports or marinas, electrical generating facilities or water supply. %'Water related uses are defined as activities which are not directly dependent upon access to a water body, but which provide goods and services that are directly associated with water -dependent or waterborne uses. The range of water -dependent and water related uses occurring in the City are quite diverse in .nature and location. For the purpose of clarity, this section will address the water dependent commercial activities first. Water related uses include most categories of marine manufacturing, sales, and services (wholesale and retail), various marine offices (insurance, freight forwarding, and brokerage). While these uses are scattered throughout the City and region, they have a noticeably greater presence in the Miami River area concomitant with the concentration of water -dependent activities located along the River. To a much lesser extent, they occur in the Little River area, and occasionally are found along Biscayne Bay. Other water related uses include the institutional and educational activities such as the marine laboratories at Virginia Key as well as Planet Ocean and the Seaquarium which are marine exposition attractions. Among the water -related uses on Virginia Key a water - dependent powerboat racing basing is also located on Virginia Key, adjacent to the Rickenbacker Causeway. Areas in Need of Redevelopment Generally, there are no concentrations of rundown structures or blighted areas in the coastal area. However, individual structures which should be rehabilitated or condemned occasionally occurs. Within Miami's Downtown, the Omni, Dupont Plaza, and River Quadrant areas are considered redevelopment areas. The boundaries are shown in Figure IV.6 95- 830 Page -IX 14 MAP 8 MAP A i co C� i ad M W h !T KIR IN PAY h ciwr F I r NO! h AT WATER DEPENDENT WATER RELATED USES IN COASTAL AREA D a c p >e MW u At ARIA NMI cswt ow to !T ISLAND u{aw wwCD lil AwD ISLAND 24044 .sow MW i!T III ds PM a • All {t,T d CLAL.CM10K ISLAND 4aul r V A IAARINA-PRIW1FiY BOAT STORAGE ow ti at 0 UARM CARGO-MME TEPJMAI.S 6 ■ UARINAIMMUNE REPAIR FACUMS WCK[w {ACK(A QwY * mmum TQwm SALVAGE CONSTRUCTm vlRcwu Kn 0BOAT RAWS k !MD OD y� C Do" KEY G 5 � rawcuw AVE W � ' 0 tMosrtcr Oa aIT UwIs Figure IV.5.1 As stated above, the Omni area, is a designated development district which addresses an economic development strategy, that provides for the establishment of a Tax Increment Finance District for funding of public improvements and programmatic activities that will lead to the revitalization of the area. The proposed land use ill the coastal area is high density mixed use. A similar land use is expected in the coastal area as part of the Dupont and River Quadrant redevelopment areas. Economic Base of the Coastal Area Water Dependent/Related The economic base of the coastal area is primarily composed of residential uses particularly along Biscayne Bay. Along the Miami River, an economic study in 1986 reported that the firms located in the study area (very similar to coastal area but extending to the salinity dam on 36th Street which is outside the City limits) have a significant impact on the Miami economy. They employ an estimated 7,000 workers on a full time basis and over 600 part time. Total sales are estimated at $613 million, or about $87,000 for a full time worker. An additional indirect impact of $1.2 billion of business activity in the Miami area is created by firms in the study area. Many of the firms located in the study area are marine related businesses in part composed of water -dependent and water -related activities. Vegetative Cover The City of Miami is primarily composed of an urban landscape with a few areas that contain significant amounts of vegetative cover. Figure IV.7 illustrates the area of vegetative cover in the coastal area. The areas shown as having significant vegetative cover contain a wide variety of south temperate to temperate species of plants. These include vegetation that is characteristic of West Indies such as gumbo limbo, lysiloma, Jamaican dogwood, white stopper, mahogany, and strangler fig intermingled with live oak, red bay, mulberry, hackberry, and many hardwood species. These geographical areas, districts, and parcels have been identified and designated by local ordinance as having significant natural attributes in need of preservation and control due to their environmental importance. Appendix I contains information on the Ordinance. Virginia Key supports four general terrestrial vegetation categories: mangroves (further discussed below under wetlands), and exotic invaders (Australian pines). JIRGINIA KEY VEGETATIVE COMMUNITY 0- Flguro IV.8 Wetlands Mangrove communities provide numerous contributions to the bay systems. Coastal mangroves bear the brunt of storm tides, protecting the shoreline from severe storm erosion. The extensive prop root system produces a baffling effect which dissipates wave energy and reduces tidal currents. Mangrove fringes play an important role in maintaining water clarity, as the maze of roots slows currents and promotes deposition of suspended sediment. Prop roots also provide a surface for the attachment of marine organisms and protection for juvenile fishes front predators. The penetration of the mangroves roots into shoreline mild is basic to the mineral cycling necessary for maintaining the high productivity of the marine environment. Mangroves line only a limited and isolated portion of the City's mainland shoreline. Mangroves also line some of the spoil islands in the Bay that were created by the Corps of Engineers when the Intracoastal Waterway was dredged, with the greatest concentration occurring along the northwestern edge of Virginia Key. *Virginia Key supports four general terrestrial vegetative categories: mangroves, hammocks, coastal dune vegetation, and exotic invaders. The value of mangroves in estuarine systems has been well documented. Therefore, since 1980 mangrove planting has generally be required whenever mangroves have been destroyed as a result of coastal construction activities. Trimming and removal of mangroves is prohibited by state, local and county laws. Trimming and mangrove removal permits can only be issued upon approval of the Board of County Commissioners. Marine Animals Bottlenose dolphins and manatees are marine mammals found in the waters and tributaries of Biscayne Bay. Since passage of the Federal "Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972" it has become illegal to take, injure, annoy, molest, or kill any marine mammal, including the bottlenose dolphin or manatee. Manatees, an endangered species, are found in the open waters and tributaries of Biscayne Bay. Although lists of manatee sightings have been compiled and aerial counts have been done, data on exact numbers of this elusive species have not been determined. It is estimated that at least 1,000 manatees inhabit Florida's coastal water, with perhaps as many as 100 residing in Biscayne Bay and its tributaries. Manatees are frequently sighted in the Miami River and its tributaries. An increase in the number of marinas and boats on Biscayne Bay and its tributaries will not only increase the chance of hitting, injuring, harassing and perhaps killing manatees, but may also create increased turbidity which destroys the seagrass beds needed to sustain these mammals. 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 17 nAW-" VEGETATIVE COVER m a a VEGETATION ,,;•> n� URBAN LAND WETLANDS 9 a M ♦YL it RI tourcu�u evti rsotraGt oa Figure IV-7 Fishing and Crustacean Some of the most important, but least visible wildlife of the Bay are the fishes and crustaceans that reside and migrate through the Bay waters. The Bay is fished both commercially and recreationally with some species sought for food, some for sport, and others for bait. Some of the most important of these include: sport fish such as tarpon, bonefish, snook, and permit, food fish such as groupers, pompano, snapper, hogfish, and mackerels, crustaceans such as shrimp, spiny lobster, and crabs; and baitfish such as pilchard ballyhoo, pinfish, mullets, thread herring, Spanish sardines and anchovies. The most important factor in determining abundance of most juvenile fish is seagrasses. As seagrass density increases, so does the abundance of many fish species. Hard bottom areas also support a high diversity of fishes. Certain important species, including hogfish, yellow snapper, and lane snapper, utilize hard bottom communities as nursery areas. These areas require stable salinities and temperatures, and better water circulation and water clarity than seagrass beds.In terms of fish abundance, dredged and barren bottom communities were found to be the least productive areas in Biscayne Bay. Figure IV.10 indicates the areas with the highest fish and crustaceae within the City's boundaries. Living Marine Resources Plankton are ftee-floating, usually minute, plants or animals that orbit in the water column. Planktonic plants (phytoplankton) and animals (zooplankton) play significant roles in the food web of the Bay. In our coastal area. the most important groups of planktonic plants are diatoms and dinoflagellates. These microscopic, brown pigmented algae occur as single cells or in chains or small colonies. They are a principle food source for numerous types of zooplankton, including the larvae of many henthic animals. Plankton reproduction was also measured alorig an cast-w,est transect through central Bisca', lie Bay to the Gulfstream. It was found that chlorophyll concentrations in the water, an indicator of living phytoplankton biomass, and rate of phytoplankton groNNIh were highest near shore and decreased toward the Gulf Stream. This is probably a consequence of higher inputs of nutrients from the mainland nearer the shore. "See Figure IV.10". Seagrasses are flowering plants which are an integral component of the Bay environment. Seagrasses found within the Biscayne Bay area include turtle grass (thalassic testurdinum) with ribbonlike leaves: manatee grass (syringodiurn filiform) with long, thin round leaves; shoal grass (lialodule wrightll) with narrow flat leaves; and a species of halophila which are ephemeral grasses with flat, elongated paired leaves. The amount of light, photoperiod, temperature, salinity and sedimentary environments control the growth and distribution of seagrasses. These grasses, together with several species of green, red and brown algae make up the henthic plant communities in Biscayne Bay.

South Florida constitutes a transition zone where temperate and tropical species intermingle. Figure IV.7.1 illustrates the principle areas used as habitat by the wildlife in the Coastal Zone of the City of Miami. The mangrove fringe and islands of the Bay area also provide resting, feeding and nesting areas for many migrating species on their way to other areas. Warblers, vireos, tanagers, finches and other species all take advantage of the abundant insects inhabiting the mangroves. Prairie and yellow warblers have nested in the mangroves of Virginia Key and are known to remain in the area year round. Swallows, on the other hand, pass by on their way to and from south America and eat insects that fly above the mangroves. Raptors, including eagles, ospreys, falcons and hawks can be found in a number of areas roosting in mangroves. Bald Eagles, classified as an endangered species in the Federal List is a rare sight in Biscayne Bay. Benthic Communities The City of Miami obtained inforrnation for benthic community conditions would be tabulated and mapped. A database was being established to record the abundance of plants and animals which live in the Bay bottorn or on the seagrasses. Estuaries Pollution Conditions The Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) began monitoring 15 water parameters at 48 stations in Biscayne Bay in 1975 and six stations in the Miami River, monthly samples were analyzed for physical and chemical parameters, including dissolved oxygen, nutrient, metals, coliforum bacteria and water clarity. This data indicated that water quality at most of the stations generally met all applicable standards. Areas of poor water quality were located at the mouth of the Miami River and the Little River. Each of these rivers is impacted by industry and at the time of adoption by inter connection between the storm and sanitary sewer systems. Other sources of pollution were the sludge pits on Virginia Key. Areas of Special Concern Generally, the areas of special attention for the City are the public properties along the shoreline (and submerged land under municipal ownership) including the Miami River, Litter River, Virginia Key, Watson Island and Dinner Key. Land use issues such a conflict between water -dependent related uses and non -water dependent related issues particularly along the Miami River are also of special concern to the City which will be addressed in the future land use element and in the goals, policies and objectives in this element. 95- 830 8/28/95 Figure IV.7..1 Historic Resources in Coastal Areas Most of the archeological conservation areas in the City occur Nvithin the coastal area. The primary archeological conservation area lies along the north and south banks of the Miami River to Biscayne Bay and then southward. This archeological area varies in depth. Many of the City's historic sites are Iocated within the coastal area, as that is where settlement first occurred. The major concentration of sites is located in Coconut Grove along Biscayne Bay.

The Metropolitan Dade County Manager or designee, in this case the Office of Emergency Operations is responsible for issuing evacuation orders depending on the intensity of the storm, for the areas Nvithin the county affected by hurricanes. Forty-seven zones have been identified by the county that require evacuation according to traffic analysis zones. The population in those zones are based on 1980 census data updated in 1984. Zones 1-7 will need to be evacuated for all hurricanes. Only a portion of Zones 8-17 may experience flooding in all hurricanes, and are required to be evacuated only in the event of a category two or greater storm. Zones 18-25 are required to be evacuated only in the event of a category four or five storm event, due to flooding. The City of Miami is one of twenty-six municipalities within the County that has developed a detailed plan for the City's area of jurisdiction. i _F I i 95- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 26 Evacuation Since Dade County and the City of Miami was already heavily populated within the coastal area by 1988 and continuing to grow, it was recognized that storm evacuation was a significant public issue. Based on the 1988 population -at -risk (persons in hurricane evacuation areas) and 25010 of the population projected to respond to an evacuation order, it was estimated that clearance times for vehicles evacuating the Dade County Line ranged from 9.0 for (low) to 19 hours (high). Public Shelters Depending on the intensity of a storm, spaces in public shelter were assumed to serve 15 to 25 percent of the population at risk. Only Dade County and City of Miami population at risk was analyzed and it appears that sufficient space for Dade County and City of Miami evacuees would be available. Damage Potential The South Florida Regional Planning council estimated in 1987 that the worst -case scenario storm track across Dade County and the City of Miami would cause damages ranging from $445.3 million for category 1 to 8.9 billions for a category 5. Hurricane Andrew resulted in $20-25 billion damage, the costliest natural disaster in the history of the United States. a N.W 71 SL AREAS SUBJECT TO COASTAL FLOODING AND HIGH HAZARD FLOOD AREAS 4 N.

COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF REPORT Two factors dominate the Coastal Management Element: 1) the natural environment and 2) the built environment. The recreational value of the coastal area and the tourist dollar to the local economy remains vital. Historic preservation has been added to the Coastal Management Element. The coastal area of The City of Miami has substantial cultural resources, including nationally and locally designated historic places. The natural environment includes the coastal ecosystems and natural disasters. The built environment includes development, intensity and density, population distribution, structural integrity, public shoreline access and access to water-dependent/water-related facilities. There is considerable overlap between the natural and built environments. At the date of this Report, both of these factors are strongly recognized as major issues for The City of Miami. Both are influenced by and from political, economic, environmental preservation, and public safety issues. Numerous studies are underway by government staff and private citizens in committees regarding restoring Biscayne Bay, Miami River, Stormwater Management, Hazard Mitigation and Post -Disaster Redevelopment, and more. South Florida is the most hunicane vulnerable area in the nation. The National Hurricane Center documented that hurricanes are typically more frequent and severe on a cyclic basis, which is the reason there were frequent storms striking South Florida in the 1940's and 50's, a gap of 21 years in the 70's and 80's, and projections that the hurricane cycle is reoccurring in the 90's. In response to recent natural disasters, there have been revisions to federal, state, and local laws to protect lives, property, and to reduce government expenditures by mitigating vulnerable areas, sites, and structures. Land within the urban development boundary of the City of Miami is approximately 95% built out. Zoning has minimally changed since 1989. An estimated 15.1 percent of the total City of Miami population, or 302,507 people, live within the coastal area, 135,518 within the Coastal High Hazard Area (Category 1 Hurricane Evacuation Area) and an additional 166,989 people within the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone, which would add Categories 2 & 3 to Category 1. Along with residents, over a million tourists visit The 95 - 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 28 City of Miami annually, many choosing to stay in the coastal area. Planners and emergency managers consider both residents and visitors during hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, as population -at -risk requiring emergency evacuation, sheltering, response, and recovery. Public access to the coastal shoreline, bay, and ocean waters for residents and visitors remains highly popular for recreational purposes. Environmental regulations strengthened over the past six years requiring public use to be compatible with the natural resources and not degrade the environment. Research and monitoring measures have increased to ensure compliance. UPDATE AND ANALYSIS OF BASELINE DATA Until the requirements of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), the primary influence on updating and analyzing baseline data since the adoption of the CMMP (The City of Miami Master Plan) in 1989 was Hurricane Andrew. The need to update and analyze baseline data becarne a high priority tied to funding assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other sources as reimbursement for hurricane damage related repairs. Non -hurricane related policies within the 1989 CMMP were not implemented to the same degree since there was a tremendous amount of work associated with associated with post -disaster recovery within The City of Miami. The following baseline data has been updated and analyzed: Baseline data presented in the 1989 Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CMMP) Coastal Management Element Support Component has been updated and analyzed through December 1994, when available. Additionally, new data has been identified with Dade County, inventoried, analyzed, and mapped when required by 9J-5.012. Varying informational sources were used. Tables, figures and maps delineated the source document, department, and/or agency. Tables, figures, and maps updating baseline data and presenting new baseline data are located within this section and referenced with Objectives and/or Policies. References are also provided for other CMMP Elements containing coastal information. The Coastal Management Element is divided into two categories, Natural Coastal Systems and the Built Environment. The following data has been organized according 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 29 NATURAL COASTAL SYSTEMS The Coastal Resources Area within the City of Miami has not changed sine 1989 Figure IX-1 depicts the area in which data in Dade County has been collected and analyzed for environmental purposes. Several data sources have been used to update the six year evaluation and to report on the current status of the natural coastal systems. Included are a compilation of all projects that have been permitted in Mangrove Protection Areas and all other dredge and fill projects pernitted in coastal wetlands in Dade County since December 1988. Other sources of data include the Bay Restoration and Enhancement Program projects, and as study of coastal wetlands that was completed under the auspices of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Advanced Identification of Spoil Areas (ADID) process. Data is presented in the following tables, figures and maps with further information found within the Condition of Date of Report and Conclusions and Proposed Revisions Section. Bays, Rivers, Lakes, Harbors and Beaches. Within the boundaries of The City of Miami are bays, rivers, lakes, harbors, and beaches, as shown in Figure IX-2. North to south, there is one bay, River, and Miami River; and several man-made canals under the jurisdiction of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Two large harbors within the City of Miami serve Dade county, the Port of Miami, or Seaport, operated by Dade County, and the Port of the Miami River with hundreds of individual terminals with cargo and marine services. The coastal area within the City of Miami contains a bounty of natural and man-made features that attract both residents and tourists and contribute greatly to the economy. Therefore, the good condition of the coastal areas has been a priority for the City of Miami. Vegetative Cover The City of Miami is primarily composed of an Urban landscape with a few areas containing significant amounts of vegetative cover. Since the adoption of the City of Miami Comprehensive Master Plan in 1989. The City working with the Environmental and Historic Preservation Boards have improved thru-enforcement the vegetative cover within the City of Miami. 8/28/95 95- 83" Page-UC 30 EVERGLADES NATIONAL ---------- PARK # r FLORIDA BAY P o COASTAL RESOURCES AREA Figure IX - 1 9 30 t G z . mi.

Approximately 1,800 acres of designated Mangrove Protection Areas adjacent to Biscayne Bay have been established. Between 1989 and 1994, there have been 16 projects by Dade County authorized within these designated areas. Eleven were for removal of dead trees, debris and beached boats following Hurricane Andrew, and a twelfth project involved the removal of a Beached sailboat from a scrub mangrove area. Two of the remaining four projects involved the construction of elevated boardwalks. During the six years, 0.7 acres of mangroves in designated Mangrove Protection Areas" were impacted and resulted in 17.8 acres of planted mangroves as mitigation. Fish and Wildlife. Almost forty percent of the wildlife species listed by the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission as Endangered (E), Threatened (T), or Species of Special Concern (SSC) are found in Dade County. These are referenced within the Conservation Element as well as Coastal Management Element for those species found within coastal ecosystems. The following list of fish and wildlife species are native to the coastal waters, wetlands, and hammocks of Dade County. A status of C2 denotes that the species is a candidate for federal listing, but that there was not enough documented information on the vulnerability of the species to justify listing in 1994. While the threats to several of these species must be addressed on a national or international scale, some can, and are, being addressed statewide, regionally, and locally. In 1994, the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission published a study aimed at improving wildlife habitat conservation within the State of Florida. Six of the 33 species whose habitat were studied and mapped are present in the coastal areas of Dade County and the City of Miami. In 1992, the population of American crocodiles in Florida was reported to consist of less than 500 individuals living in the Turkey Point area of southern Biscayne Bay, along the south Dade County shoreline west to Cape Sable, on the islands in Florida Bay and along the bay shoreline of North Key Largo. Since the population is both small and localized, it is very vulnerable. The South Florida Water Management District and Dade County have pledged funds to purchase a large swath of land in southern Dade County between Biscayne and Evergiades National Parks. Acquisition of this area will preserve much of the existing crocodile habitat remaining in private ownership and will be consistent with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Commission recommendation that managed crocodile habitat be increased by 15%. The Commission study also recommended placement of box culverts that are large enough to be used by crocodiles under US 1 in southern Dade 95- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 31 County to reduce the number of crocodile/vehicular collisions, and reducing recreational activities in area inhabited by crocodiles. The wetlands adjacent to Manatee Bay. Barnes Sound, Card Sound, and Biscayne National Park are also important for the limpkins, mangrove cuckoos, black -whiskered vireos, roseate spoonbills and white-croNNned pigeons. The Commission study recommended conserving large areas of habitat in and adjacent to Biscayne Bay. West Indian Manatees. Section 1135 of Federal laws to protect endangered mammals provided the basis for enacting measures within the state of Florida to protect the endangered West Indian Manatee. A statewide manatee protection plan was developed that required local governments where manatees were identified as inhabiting and frequently using travel corridors, to develop their own Manatee (DERM) has completed a Manatee Protection Plan, presently in draft form and expected to be adopted during 1995. The following material is support data included within the County's Plan. Numerous areas that were used by the West Indian Manatees found in the City of Miami have been substantially altered by dredge and fill projects. During and following dredge and fill, Manatee habitat experienced degradation from silting, nutrient enrichment, and other forms of water pollution. This has reduced food supplies, eliminated natural secluded areas for mating, giving birth and nursing, and generally reduced the capacity of coastal and river ecosystems to support Manatees. Shoreline stabilization and mangrove, wetland and coastal hammock restoration, are expected to improve water quality and clarity by reducing turbidity caused by erosion and resuspension of particulate matter in stormwater runoff. Maintaining and improving water clarity or transparency is critical for protection or enhancement of seagrass communities, particularly in portions of north Biscayne Bay that have been degraded by past dredging and filling practices. Interaction between Manatees and humans has resulted in mortality, injury, or disturbance to the Manatee. Boating, water skiing, jet skiing, swimming, diving, fishing, commercial shipping, operation of water control structures (flood gates), and water - related construction have all contributed to the plight of the Manatee in the state of Florida. A total of 125 Manatee carcasses were recovered in Dade County City of Miami between 1974 and 1993. At least 83 of those deaths were human related. Verified causes of death are noted in the table below. Manatee carcasses were found in both fresh and salt water. However, the majority of Manatee carcasses were recovered from tributaries or near shorelines rather than in the open bay. The largest known cause of Manatee mortality in Dade County and the City of Miami is from crushing and /or drowning in flood gates, These deaths have been documented at seven different structures operated by the South Florida Water Management District (SFVdMD). At least 42 Manatees were killed by flood gates from 1974 through 1993. An interagency task force with representatives from the SFWMD, FDEP, USF\t'S, USACOE, and Dade County DERM was formed in 1991 to address the problem of Manatee mortality due to flood gates and canal locks. The goal is to develop solutions that can be implemented statewide to reach zero Manatee mortalities for deaths caused by flood gates and canal locks. Other causes of Manatee mortality include poaching, litter, and entrapment in culverts. Feeding watering, and petting Manatees may cause the animals to become accustomed to humans and expect to be fed or touched when they see people. They may approach powerboats and become injured or rely too heavily on humans for food. The Save the Manatee Club has requested the FDEP to initiate legislation to make feeding, watering (running a freshwater hose for Manatee drinking) of Manatees illegal. Marine Sanctuaries. In 1979, the then Florida Department of Natural Resources (FDNR) designated the Black Creek area including Black Point Marina as a Manatee sanctuary. The "Idle Speed No Wake" zone associated with this sanctuary extends from the Black Creek Canal entrance channel in Biscayne Bay to the salinity control structure on Black Creek and Goulds Canals, and includes all tidal canals in the vicinity. Although all of Biscayne Bay is designated as critical Manatee habitat by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, there were no other speed zones in Dade County established for Manatee protection. In November 1991, the Florida Governor and Cabinet approved a state rule establishing numerous additional vessel speed restrictions for the purpose of Manatee protection. Virginia Key Critical Wildlife Area. This area was established by the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission and the City of Miami in 1991 on the west side of Virginia Key and adjacent submerged lands to protect bird species which feed, roost and nest in the area. The submerged land portion is encompassed in the "No Entry" zone recently established for Manatee protection on the northwest side of Virginia Key. 95- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 33 '. Offshore Hardbottom Communities. Surveys conducted by the Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) between 1988 and 1994 revealed that the hard bottom communities off northern Dade County and Broward County and coastal areas within the City of Miami include a high diversity of hard and soft corals, algae, invertebrates, and fishes. This area is a transition zone between the more tropical and subtropical coral reefs to the south and warm temperature benthic communities to the north. Offshore Artificial Reefs It is well documented that artificial reefs are effective at attracting and concentratinj fishery resources. These areas are used extensively for recreational boating, fishing ani diving. An economic study performed by the University of Florida entitled, "Th Economic Benefits of Artificial Reefs; an analysis of the Dade County, Florida ree system according to this study, they estimated that the Key Biscayne and Biscayne Ba; artificial reefs program alone represents an annual economic value to the County and th City of Miami of 18 million dollars annually. The City of Miami benefits from thi program, that is managed by the Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management DERIv1. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT LAND USES IN THE COASTAL AREA. The greatest influence on land uses within the coastal area between 1989 and 1994 was not through amendments or zoning changes but: due to the state revisions in definitions and boundaries. In 1993. the Chapter 161 redefined the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) to that of the entire Category I Hurricane Area, as defined by local level governments and consistent with the regional hurricane evacuation plan. In 1988 the state had used the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) definition of the CHHA as the "V" Zone and land seaward of the coastal construction line. In Dade County and The City of Miami this was primarily a narrow strip of land on both the barrier islands and the mainland. With the new state definition, Dade County's CHHA became the entire barrier islands and no mainland area. However, the state made another significant change in coastal area definitions and boundaries. The Coastal Hazard Area (CHA) was eliminated and replaced by the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone (HVZ) which encompassed the CHHA and added Hurricane Categories 2 and 3. This covers more geographical area then the former CHA. Additionally, Chapter 9J-5 requirements for detailed inventorying and analyzing the CHHA, essentially expanded to include the HVZ. This entailed substantially more data collection and analysis than had been done in the past. An estimated 15.1 % of the total population, live within the coastal high risk areas; 135,518 within the CI1HA and 166,989 within hurricane categories 2 and 3 for a total of 302,507 for the entire HVZ. Since the City of Miami is essentially developed, the prioritization of shoreline land uses was conducted decades ago, this prioritization was based upon acceptable land uses for coastal areas at that time, which was prior to the present escalated cost of recovering from natural disasters and emphasis on retreating from the coast. In intensely developed areas, such as the City of Miami. It would be unfeasible, economically and politically, to reprioritize shoreline land uses to substantially reduce existing density. ECONOMIC BASE OF THE COASTAL AREA. The most significant impact on the economic base of Dade County and the City of Miami between 1989 and 1994 was Hurricane Andrew, which struck with the force of a 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 35 Category 4 hurricane. The massive destruction cost between $20-25 billion dollars, the costliest storm in the history of the United States. As expected, damage in the coastal area was severe, especially within southern Dade County. The City of Miami was minimally impacted, and rebounded quickly. It was months before central Dade County recovered, and it has taken years to recover the southern portion of Dade County where coastal businesses and residences suffered tremendous losses. There ,vas considerable public and political pressure to reopen parks, for residents and visitors, especially in time for the 1992-931 tourist season for economic recovery. Unfortunately, damage was so severe to hundreds of parks, especially those with marinas, that it was not possible to be aesthetically attractive and functional in a matter of three short months. The same was true for private commercial recreation facilities. The massive damage was source of news nationwide and worldwide. Tourism plummeted in Dade, and also in Monroe County where little damage occurred but because of its close proximity the public perception was that Monroe's hurricane vulnerable islands were also ravaged. Initially, numerous business within Dade County and the City of Miami closed, with a large number closing permanently and/or relocating. Water -dependent and water -related services. A number marine service businesses permanently relocated to Ft. Lauderdale. After Hurricane Andrew, tourism decreased for the next two years but had rebounded by the end of 1994. Cruise passengers increased by almost on -half million, which is substantial. Cargo tonage more than doubled at both the Port of Miami (Seaport), and at the Port of the Miami River. Commercial fishing includes large vessels supporting the seafood industry and recreational fishing charters. Additionally, there are 20,000 smaller - sized boats registered in the City of Miami. These boats are used for recreation. The recreational boating industry is estimated as a $3.4 billion business nationwide. AREAS IN NEED OF REDEVELOPMENT. The City of Miami does not have coastal areas in need of redevelopment similar to other wharf areas throughout the country. There is only one Community Development area, Goulds, under the jurisdiction of Dade County located within the coastal area. The City of Miami have CD target, areas, that fall, within the coastal area boundaries. Hurricane Andrew dealt a massive blow to numerous CD projects, along with anything else within its path. Post -storm recovery has resulted in the reconstruction of private and public low and moderate income housing facilities as part of the citywide reconstruction totaling 62 units damaged or destroyed. The total cost was estimated at over 7 million. Structures determined to be "unsafe" following the storm citywide numbered 250. These structures were given orders to repair or demolish. Of these, approximately 125 demolition orders were issued and by August 1994, 110 structures had been demolished. WATER -DEPENDENT AND WATER -RELATED Uses. As mentioned, the City of Miami has remarkably rebounded from the destruction of Hurricane Andrew. Water -dependent and water -related uses are as popular in 1994 as they were in 1989. The inventory list of uses and sites has expanded under both water - dependent and water -related, and updated to include comprehensive figures and figure series. Several 9J-5 required coastal inventories and analyses overlap with water -dependent facilities and were part of the 1989 Coastal Management Element and have been retained but updated. These include marina facilities with more than ten slips and privately - owned marinas, publicly -owned shoreline and beach access facilities (merging two tables into one) and privately -owned shoreline public access facilities. Additionally, several of these tables are broken out by location in the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) or Hurricane Vulnerability Zone (HVZ) to coincide with the natural disaster component. WATER -DEPENDENT USES. Water -Dependent uses are those activities that cannot occur without the presence of water. Water -dependent types of facilities include eleven categories under both the public and private sector: Public park with water -dependent uses; commercial recreation with water -dependent uses; private residential/Club/Ma.. Ana; Anchorage (outside marina); Cruise terminal; Marine cargo terminal; Marine towing, salvage, Construction; Boat yard/repair (requiring water access); Boat and yacht sales and equipment (requiring water and storage; Seaplane base; and Boat manufacturing & sales. The source for this information County departments of Environmental Resources Management (DERM), Parks and Department (Metro -Parks), and the Property Appraiser's Office. Marinas. The 1989 Coastal Management Element listed marinas in several formats and categories. Included in a Table A-1: Marinas with more than ten slips (wet and dry combined); a Public Access table and figure series of marinas with 75 wet and dry slips; and a Water- 95-- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 37 Dependent figure series of marinas (primarily boat storage). Most of this redundancy was, and is, necessary to conduct the reporting required by Rule 9J-5, and has been updated in the same manner with some minor changes for clarification. For this purpose, the Water Dependent figure series update expands to include marinas. The marinas within The City of Miami. WATER -RELATED USES. There is considerable overlap between facilities that provide water -dependent services and water -related services, such as dry storage at a marina. While many water -related facilities are located at the water's edge or within the coastal planning area, a significant number are not. Regardless of location, water -related uses provide either visual public access or facilitate water -dependent uses that benefit the public. Following Hurricane Andrew in 1992, there was a marked reduction of water -related facilities in City of Miami, including those located along the Miami River. Many marine services relocated permanently to the Fort Lauderdale area. Since that time, however, the number of reported water -related services has rebounded much in the same way that water -dependent uses did, and exhibited the same fluctuation during the six year evaluation period which is not apparent in comparing the 1989 with the 1994 numbers. SITTING WATER -DEPENDENT AND WATER -RELATED USES. Between 1989 and 1994, the recommendations for siting have not changed. They are still based on supporting the public desire to experience visual and physical access to the water while ensuring that water -dependent and water -related uses are compatible with coastal resources. The following guidelines are used by the City of Miami and Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM), which are the local permitting agencies, when siting coastal facilities. • Environmental concerns should have precedence over water -use needs; • Coastal wetlands, wildlife habitat, and marine resources shall be protected; • Where shorelife access through coastal marshes and mangrove forests is desirable, elevated walkways should be provided; • No filling or placement of structures in or over coastal or bay waters should be permitted to diminish water areas traditionally used for boating, fishing, or swimming; • Publicly -owned parks should maximize public access to the shoreline; 95- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 38 • Bridges, causeways, road rights -of -way, and canal easements should be increasingly used to provide public access and water -oriented uses; • Public and private shoreline development should include boardwalks or pathways for views of the ,vatcr. and water -related, water -dependent use when feasible; • Shoreline buildings, landscaping, and signage should be designed to maintain and enhance water viexvs: • Public access easements should be designated and located to be sensitive to the legitimate security- concerns of private property owners, • Public and private marinas should not be located „here their operations would disrupt residential neighborhoods; • Marina siting or expansion should be based on impact analyses or upland, shoreline, and in -water characteristics to insure that they will not destroy or degrade viable natural habitats and will be compatible, with surrounding land uses; • Existing marinas, public and private, should be maintained, upgraded and permitted to expand where applicable environmental standards are met and incompatible user and land use problems resolved; • Tourist/residential and tourist/commercial uses should be encouraged along waterfront area provided that water access and shoreline amenities are open for public use and development is compatible with environmental and land use policies and standards. LAND ACQUISITION. By 1989, a substantial amount of land in the Dade County coast area, along the shoreline, was already in public -ownership. Much of the remaining shoreline was. The viability of acquiring other vacant Iand within the coastal area for parks and preserves depends upon available monies to both acquire and manage natural areas for preservation purposes and/or operate public facilities for water -dependent and water - related uses. The City's residents and tourists have come to expect a high level of quality in park facilities and services. In budget cut lean years, such as all levels of government are facing, it is increasing difficult to provide the quantity and quality of public facilities that are in demand. This would include coastal and shoreline parks providing recreational water -dependent and water -related facilities. PUBLIC ACCESS. Since the first settlement of Miami, it is public access to the water that primarily attracts residents and tourists. Within Dade County, there are literally hundred of parks located in the coastal area under various governmental jurisdictions, and hundreds of water -oriented 8/28/95 95-- 830 Page -IX 39 commercial recreation facilities and shoreline clubs and residences that are privately - owned. The success of water -dependent and water -related facilities depends on public access. Beach access is certainly dependent upon shoreline access and has, therefore, been added to the shoreline access inventory. This revision reduces redundancy and makes a stronger connection between the two. Dade County and the City of Miami continues to support and encourage shoreline access. In 1983, Dade County established the Shoreline Development Review Committee (SDRC) to ensure remaining development and redevelopment along Biscayne Bay provides as much visual and physical public access as possible. The City of Miami remains active in land acquisition programs to purchase parkland and preserves and encourage the private sector to assist Dade County through such programs as the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program (EEL). INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE COASTAL. AREA. Infrastructure within the Coastal Area includes roadways, bridges, water and sewer facilities, public buildings, marinas, boat ramps, fishing piers, shoreline protection structures, and beach re -nourishment and revegetation. Several inventories and analyses are contained within the preceding sections including marinas, boat ramps, and piers and stormwater drainage. The remaining infrastructure is listed and analyzed within this section. Inventories of public facilities under the jurisdiction of the City of Miami have been listed according to location, either within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA), Category 1 Hurricane Evacuation Area, or Hurricane Evacuation Area, or Hurricane Vulnerability Zone (HVZ), adding to the CHHA Categories 2 and 3 Hurricane Evacuation Areas. Infrastructure capital improvement projects between 1988 and 1994 and future capital improvement projects are listed in tables by CHHA and HVZ within the Capital Improvements Section. Between 1989 and 1994, no new infrastructure, or expansion of infrastructure, that would promote increased population growth took place within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA), which is the barrier islands in the City of Miami. This is consistent with state law limiting public subsidy for infrastructure in the CHHA other than to meet the needs of the existing population. Since the City of Miami is 95% built -out with only a few remaining undeveloped larger tracts of land, and the rest infill parcels, infrastructure has been in existence for decades in some areas. This is particularly true in the coastal area. The problem with infrastructure in the City of Miami is typically not a matter of insufficient infrastructure but that of maintenance and replacement. 95- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 40 Facility Name Jurisdiction CHI1A[HVZ Acreage Beach Wet Boat Parking Location Linear Slips Lanes Spaces Ft.

ALL THE LAND LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA (CHI -IA). ROADWAY AND BRIDGES Within the CHHA and HVZ coastal high risk areas, the good condition of roadways and bridges is paramount to the safe evacuation of a large population estimated at 408,740. The City of Miami infrastructure is in constant state of repair due to deterioration from the coastal element age and heavy usage. Dade County Public Works maintains some of the City's Bridges and Roads. While there was not a county bridge inventory in the 1989, county bridges were mapped. "There were 52 total county bridges on this figure as compares to 56 in 1994. Twelve of these bridges are parts of the City of Miami and the Venetian Causeway and 5 past of the Rickenbacker Causeway, both causeways are considered to be located within the CHHA. There are two additional bridges within the CHHA on Miami Beach. Thirty-nine additional bridges are located within the HVZ. Categories 2 & 3 added to Category 1. The Florida Department of Transportation is responsible for inspecting both state and county bridges and rating them according to sufficiency, excellent to deteriorated. It is the responsibility of the jurisdictional owner to conduct repairs to these facilities. The Completed and Future Road and Bridge Projects contains major capital expenditures on bridge repairs by Dade County within the City of Miami. By comparing sufficiency ratings between 1989 and 1994, it is obvious which bridges received any level of repairs in addition to bridges that underwent major reconstruction, or even replacement as listed in the previous tables. In assessing the sufficiency ratings of state bridge, 34 out of 46 bridges improved their rating. Included in these improvements were four new bridges which replaced bridges rated as deteriorated in 1988. Eight bridges neither improved or deteriorated and four bridges deteriorated. STORMWATER FACILITIES. As reported in Natural Coastal Systems, coastal drainage and flooding are areas of tremendous concern with Dade County, for pollutants entering the aquifer and by waters, and for both pre storm evacuation and post storm conditions related to the amount of flooding. Deteriorated and antiquated stormwater facilities are being replaced and retrofitted as part of a countywide Stormwater Master Plan. To date, Phase I has been completed. This phase covers the C-9 East Basin. Stormwater planning procedures developed and field tested during Phase I will be used to develop plans for the remaining major canal basins in Dade County over the next ten years. The goals of this planning process are: 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 42 Privately -Owned Shoreline Public Access Facilities Within the Coastal High Hazard Area and the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone Facilities Location w/in CHHA Facilities Location Win HVZ Causeway 79 Marina 724 NE 79 Street 1501 NW So.

To develop plans for future stormwater facilities that will improve the level of flood protection and water quality, where necessary; 6. To prioritize identified stormwater facility needs. The following Figure 17 map series indicates the location of coastal stormwater outfalls within municipalities and unincorporated Dade County. The City of Miami has been actively engaged in stormwater outfall retrofilling since 1987. In 1994. the City organized a Miami River Stormwatcr Technical Assistance Committee in which several Dade County departments are actively participating. Included are the Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM), the Vdater and Sewer Department, and tine Planning Department. The following table illustrates the long-term effort underway. It is projected that the need for substantial capital improvement projects will continue over the neat decade within the Cite of Mianii and throughout Dade County as illustrated in the following Future Funded Water and Sewer Improvements totaling $363 million. SHORELINE PROTECTION The following 26 structural shoreline protection projects were completed between 1989 and 1994. These projects were conducted in public parkland under the jurisdictions of Dade County, the City of Miami, the State of Florida, and the federal government through the National Park Service. "See Table A-2 for shoreline protection". BEACH RESTORATION Beach restoration is considered infrastructure due to the provision of recreational benefits and serving as a first line of defense for major storm events, such as Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The effectiveness of beach renourishment and dune vegetation to maintaining beach stability was demonstrated with the event of Hurricane Andrew. The Corps of Engineers (Corps) estimated that over $20 million was saved in reduced property damage directly attributed to beach restoration, renourishment, and vegetation projects and the re- establishment of dune systems prior to the hurricane's landfall. Hurricane Andrew also demonstrated the effectiveness of the restored beach system through the accretion over 18 " of sand following the storm. As a result, the Corps is considering including dune restoration as an integral part of new and existing beach renourishment projects in the state of Florida. Dade County and The City of Miami will continue its dune restoration efforts for the benefit of the natural system and as the first line defense for hazard mitigation reducing storm tide and surge risks to lives and property. 8/28/95 . 95- 839 Page -IX 45 NATURAL DISASTER HURRICANE EVACUATION AND SHELTERING Evacuation and sheltering is based on the "population -al -risk", which is the total population in each of the evacuation areas, Hurricane Categories 1-5. A floating percentage (between 15-25%) of this population is applied to determine the number of people expected to evacuate early, mid, to late, based on behavioral studies and the number of people who would seek refuge in public shelters. Roadway clearance times to evacuate the Dade-Broward line are developed according to these numbers, as are the number of public shelter spaces required. NATURAL DISASTERS Since August 24, 1992, little government work in the City of Miami and Dade County is totally unrelated to Hurricane Andrew, either post -storm recovery or pre -storm preparedness. Throughout the Updated Baseline Data and Analysis section are numerous references to the storm. It is solidly intertwined within both the natural coastal systems and the built environment, past, present, and future. HURRICANE EVACUATION Major evacuation routes include the eight causeways off of the barrier islands, major highways such as I-95, S.R. 826, U.S. 1, the Florida Turnpike, and arterial roads that line neighborhoods to major roads. As reported in the Roads and Bridges section under The Built Environment, bridges within the coastal areas are extremely important for safe evacuation. "See Z'able A.-T'. Arterial roadways located within the CHHA and HVZ can expect major usage for evacuation. The effective design, maintenance, and signalization of these roadways is critical. PUBLIC SHELTERS 8/228/95 956 830 Page -IX 46 Hurricane shelters are provided for persons who have no other place of refuge from hurricane winds or storm surge flooding. Shelters are managed by the American Red Cross (ARC) in accordance with their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) and agreements with the State of Florida, Dade County School Bom-d, and Office of Emergency management (OEM). Most shelters are in public schools where the principal, cafeteria manager, and custodial staff supplement ARC staffing. In 1994, American Red Cross facilities numbered 69 with 42,747 spaces. In addition to Red Cross shelters, OEM has 10 primary and 5 secondary People With Special Needs shelters totaling 6,624 spaces. All public shelters should be retrofitted to accommodate persons with disabilities and be wheelchair assessable. Dade County is working on compliance. The American Red Cross uses 40 square feet per person as their national standard for public shelters. However, within Florida due to the, lack of suitable, protected structures that meet hurricane criteria, the ARC has been forced to reduce space requirements to 20 square feet per person. Therefore, shelter spaces using the standard calculation would be approximately half the existing amount, which substantially increases the actual deficit. Dade County is seeking federal and state funding to support retrofitting of existing public facilities to shelter specifications to reduce the deficit. New schools should be constructed to these standards in the future. As of December 1994, Dade County had a total of 42,747 shelter spaces. These service the City of Miami. Therefore, for Hurricane Category 1 Dade County had sufficient shelter spaces, but for a storm with strength above a Category 1 hurricane, Dade County has a shelter deficit. For Hurricane Categories 2 and 3, a 4,273 space deficit exists. For Hurricane Categories 4 and 5, a 32,439 space deficit exists. This is a major safety issue. In the event of a Hurricane Category 3 or higher strength storm, Dade County must also shelter an estimated 85,000 evacuees from Monroe County in addition to Dade County evacuees. This is done exclusively within a designated site at the Florida International University (FIU) Tamiami Campus administered by the American Red Cross. These facilities are not included within the above shelter spaces which are designated for Dade County residents. CRITICAL AND CRITICAL CARE FACILITIES In 189, there were numerous critical and critical care facilities, such as hospitals, nursing homes, police stations, and communication centers, located within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHI -IA). These facilities were allowed to develop within the CHHA for decades, but recent state laws discouraged this occurrence so that emergency services can safely and efficiently function during major storm events. To coincide with state law, the 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 47 1989 Comprehensive Development Master Flan for The City of Miami began prohibiting new critical facilities within the CHHA. Evacuation of hospitals has been a long-term liability issue. Despite evacuation being a legal mandate. hospital administrators and doctors do no want to evacuate critically ill patients because they feel evacuation would be more life -threatening than weathering the storm on -site. Dade County needs to work with the appropriate agencies and the hospitals to study wind and flood hardening and retrofitting space within hospitals for vertical evacuation of patients and staff. Existing facilities within the high risk coastal areas, Hurricane Categories, 1-3, are shown on the following figure. HISTORIC PRESERVATION The City of Miami, continues to designate historic places in the coastal zone. Between 1999 and 1994. one historical district and 6 sites, Nvere added to the National Register of Historic Places for a total of two historical districts, 1 archaeological and 15 sites registered within the coastal area of City of Miami. Local designations for the same time period also increase within the coastal area. Refer to the Land Use Element for a figure of countywide historic and archaeological sites, including the coastal area. The following table lists site designations between 1989 and January 1, 1995, DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACTS Varying degrees of protection from the impacts of development and redevelopment activities exist for cultural resources in the coastal zone. Local governments offer the best protection for designated sites. They review and regulate construction and demolition activities at designated sites by issuing Certificates of Appropriateness Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 protects properties on or eligible for the National Register from needless harm due to federal actions. The Section 106 process imposes no restrictions on an owner's use of a historic property, however, it may influence agency decisions regarding federal assistance or approvals. Some archaeological resources are protected by Chapter 872, Florida Statutes, which protect human burials on public and private property. This law requires that unmarked burials be responsibly treated once they are discovered. RESTORATION STANDARDS The Secretary of Interior's standards for rehabilitation sets the overall standards for historic preservation project restoration. These standards are used by the federal government, Dade County, and municipalities, to determine eligibility for federal tax credits, to guide federal agencies in carrying out their historic preservation responsibilities and to help state and local officials review federal and non-federal rehabilitation projects. The intent of the standards is to assist the long-term preservation of a property's significance through the protection of historic material and features. These standards can apply to a historic structure, landscape feature, the building's site and environment, as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. Restoration is closely monitored. 95- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 49 To obtain the tax credit for the owner, the property must be certified by the Secretary of the Interior as a historic site and the improvement activities must be certified as conforming to the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. NATURAL DISASTERS Following the massive damage of historic structures from Hurricane Andrew in 1992, it was determined that historic preservation concerns should be integrated into disaster planing efforts to reduce future destruction. Several proactive measures have been identified. Disaster preparedness policies maximizing the preservation of historic resources should be developed. Hazard mitigation planning and implementation should be conducted. An updated historic resource survey, which is located in a secure and accessible place, is needed to be included in a computerized database to allow rapid calculation of damage estimates and restoration costs. Plans for locating such operations as relief staging and distribution, military and volunteer encampments and debris storage, disposal and burning should contain provisions for placing these activities away from areas of historic or archeological importance. Proof of instability or economic hardship should be required before allowing postdisaster demolitions. Local preservation and disaster policies should be communicated to residents, particularly historic property owners. 95- 839 8/28/95 Page -IX 50 1Cn mT O m co � CD S.R. 836 ® F a e � c 1 a, r $ rS ........... j CO Figure IX - 22 MAJOR HURRICANE �, �- EVACUATION ROUTES Source: Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization Dade County Office of Emergency Management 9 5 - METRO-DADE COUNTY PLANNING nFPT Structure No. Features Intersected Facility Carried Location Hurricane Vulnerability .one (Categories 2 & 3 Added to CILHA) I Miami River US 1 (SR5) Over Miami River Downtown 2 Little River US 1 (SR5) Appr. 700' S.

MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, LOCATION OF LAND USES AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED A total of 15 items were identified by DCA in Section 9J-5.0053(6)(a)4.a.-o. Of these 15 items, the following affect the Coastal area of Dade County. Identification of Structures where Displaced Households and Businesses can be Temporarily Relocated. Temporary short and long-term housing was identified and provided following Hurricane Andrew through several sources including FENIA and the Dade County Planning Department Housing was provided initially by military tents and eventually by 3,600 trailers. Businesses were also temporarily relocated to tents and then trailers. Although many of these businesses the City of Miami and the Dade County economy had rebounded by 1994, there remains a need to identify space for temporary housing in future major storm events. A number of Dade County schools outside of hurricane evacuation areas provide public shelters but none are identified for post -storm temporary housing, and none inside hurricane evacuation areas which would be suitable for post -storm use. This potential should be studied. Location of Development in relation to the Maintenance of Environmentally Sensitive Areas. The coastal area is an important natural resource, economically and environmentally. Development has the potential of damaging this resource through destruction of wildlife habitat, introduction of exotic pest plants, soil compaction, pollution, stormwater runoff and more. Therefore, it is reasonable to restrict development within highly sensitive coastal environmental areas and to continually monitor the natural resources for adverse impact frorn existing development. Social and Economic Effects of the Major Problems previously Identified by providing a description of the effects. Within the coastal area, the two major social factors would be maintaining the environmental integrity of this area where residents have chosen to live and tourists visit and timely evacuation in the event of a stone. 1f the coastline became polluted or otherwise unattractive, both residents and tourists would 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 53 vacate. The economic impact would be tremendous since the City of Miami and Dade County rely greatly on this revenue. EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE FLAN *No changes to the State Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 187, F.S., created inconsistency within the Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan (MCNP) Coastal Management Element. CONSISTENCY WITH STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN (SRPP) OF SOUTH FLORIDA The City of Miami and Dade County actively participated in the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) planning process and has used regional policies generated from this planning process throughout the Coastal Management Element. All SRPP goals were addressed within the Coastal Management Element. Goal 3.1 Eliminate the inappropriate uses of land by improving land use designations so that the quality and connectedness of Natural Resources of Regional Significance and suitable high quality natural areas is improved. • Goal 3.2 Develop a more efficient and sustainable allocation of the water recourses of the region. • Goal 3.5 Develop a plan for public access that promotes the ecologically sensitive use of Natural Resources of Regional Significance and high quality natural areas. • Goal 3.6 Increase the finds set aside for the acquisition, protection, restoration and maintenance of the Natural Resources of Regional Significance and suitable adjacent natural areas. • Goal 3.7 Achieve an increased awareness of the natural system and its significance with respect to the overall regional system. • Goal 3.8 Enhance and preserve natural system values of south Florida's shorelines, benthic communities, fishery, and associated habitat. • Goal 7.1 Direct future development away from the areas most vulnerable to storm surges. • Goal 7.2 No increased risk to hospital patients and special needs population due to an emergency. • Goal 7.3 All levels of government shalt work together to ensure adequate and timely shelter within the region for those residing in the hurricane evacuation areas. • Goal 7.4 Achieve consistency between goals and objectives of agency plans and emergency plans. • Goal 7.5 Complete emergency -related post -disaster redevelopment as quickly as possible while mitigating future risk. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART II, FLORIDA STATUTES (F.S.) AND CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 41-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (F.A.C.) The following Chapter and Rule amendments affect the City of Miami and were utilized to maintain consistency between the State and Dade County Coastal Management Element. •Rule 9J-5.003(14), F.A.C. red fines the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) as established within the Regional Hurricane Evacuation Study (1990 Lower Southeast Region Hurricane Evacuation Study) as Category I Hurricane Evacuation Zone, an area of the local government's choosing. Within Dade County these are the barrier islands. 1Rule 9J-5.003(60), F.A.C. defines the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone (HvZ) as the area delineated by the local hurricane evacuation plan as requiring evacuation in the event of a Category 3 Hurricane Evacuation Zone. Within Dade County this area is a narrow band along the mainland coast in northern Dade County, widening in southern Dade County; The City of Miami is located within this Hurricane Vulnerability 'Zone. Rule 9J-5.003(15), F.A.C. defines two boundaries for coastal planning: 1) General planning defines the coastal planning area as the area affected by the coastal infrastructure policy, an area of the local governments choosing as Category 1-3 Hun-icar_e Evacuation Areas; and 2) Natural resource planning defined to encompass all of the following where they occur within the local government's jurisdiction, water and submerged lands of oceanic water bodies or estuarine water bodies; shorelines adjacent to oceanic waters or estuarine waters; coastal barriers; living marine resources; marine wetlands; water -dependent facilities or water -related facilities on oceanic or estuarine waters; or public access facilities on oceanic beaches or estuarine shorelines; and all lands adjacent to such occurrences where development activities would impact the integrity or quality of the above. Chapter 9J-5.012, post -disaster redevelopment directives were modified to allow local discretion to .. address the removal, relocation, or structural modification of damaged infrastructure and unsafe structures; limiting redevelopment in areas of repeat damage... section (3)(c)(5)(proposed); Section 163.3190(13), F.S., grants local government discretion in the incorporation of recommendations from the interagency hazard mitigation reports and requires "When an interagency hazard mitigation report is prepared in response to a Presidential Disaster Declaration, its recommendations may be incorporated into a local comprehensive plan, as deemed appropriate be the applicable local government, when the plan is revised during the evaluation and appraisal report process." 95- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 56 CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS The following Chapter and Rule amendments affect the City of Miami and were utilized to maintain consistency between the State and Dade County Coastal Management Element. IChapter 161, F.S. Beaches and Shores, redefined the Coastal High Hazard Area (C1IHA) to that of the entire Category 1 Hurricane Area, as defined by local level governments and consistent with the regional hurricane evacuation plan. The Coastal Hazard Area (CHA) was eliminated and replaced by the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone (HVZ) which encompassed the Hurricane Category 3 Evacuation Area. *Chapter 252.39(3) Emergency Management: Local Services: State finds shall be targeted to counties with shelter deficits. Retrofitting facilities in regions with public shelter deficits shall be given first priority and should be completed by 1998. All appropriate facilities should be retrofitted by 2003. Chapter 403, F.S., changes that revised the wetland delineation methodology used by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and required local governments to use the same formula. Dade County amended Chapter 24-58 of the County Code to conform to the new state mandate. This revision expanded the local coastal wetland area of jurisdiction slightly. • Section 196.1997, F.S., amendment to Section 3 of Article VII of the State Constitution to give local governments the option to grant property tax exemptions for improvements to historic owner -occupied residences and income -producing properties. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Section 409 of the Stafford Act: Rule 9J-5.012(3)(c)3, F.A.C., state comprehensive planning requirements act as a bridge between the state and federal disaster public assistance and hazard mitigation programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The state requires that local comprehensive plans have at least one policy, addressing "hazard mitigation including regulation of building practices, floodplains, beach and dune alteration, stormwater management, sanitary sewer and septic tanks, and land use, to reduce the exposure of human life and public and private property to natural hazards. The plan must 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 57 incorporate the recommendations of the hazard mitigation annex of the local peacetime emergency plan and applicable existing hazard mitigation reports. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Section 1362 Acquisition Program to acquire flood -damaged property to reduce future flood loss where such acquisition has been shown to be cost-effective. NEW ISSUES AND UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEENPROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES There were several new issues and unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities that affected the coastal area. The most pertinent are discussed below: New Issue - Protection of the West Indian Manatee The City of Miami and Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) has developed per State mandate, a Manatee Protection Plan for this endangered species. The Plan identifies conflicts between humans and the Manatee that result in injury and death of this animal. Recommendations contained within the document include restrictions on developing future new marinas, boating activities, retrofitting SFWMD gates, culverts, and other construction and operational actions. With the advent of the Manatee Protection Plan, DERM feels that an entire new objective and related policies should be devoted to wildlife and wildlife habitat, especially endangered and threatened species. This new Objective 4 has six policies. New Issue - Surface and Groundwater Flows and Discharges Pollution of coastal waters and loss of fresh water to tides, altering the delicate balance of fresh and saltwater in the Bay and estuarines, are two big issues that will remain key to The City of Miami's future. These are primarily addressed within the Conservation Element. However, several surface and groundwater policies are contained within the Coastal Management Element. One policy was revised to add that The City of Miami and 95- 830 8/28/95 Page -IX 58 Dade County will v:ork with the US Army Corps of Engineers. National Park Service, and the SFNA'MD to study and better understand existing and historic surface and groundwater flows and their relationship to critical estuarine functions. This policy will ensure The City's inclusion it, these Important studies to provide input and be aware of the potential impact of any recommendations: on the natural environment and urban , setting, New Issue - Shoreline Public Access for Water -Dependent & Water -Related Uses This issue tremendously affects The City of Miami since it is the primary reason residents, tourists, and many businesses choose The City as a location. People want to be close to the water. The economic impact contributed to the coastal area is monumental. It was the demand for this public access and for water -dependent and water -related facilities and uses, and the concern that too much of The City of Miami shoreline was becoming exclusively private, that the Shoreline Development Review Ordinance was passed in order to facilitate an increased amount of publicly accessible shoreline. The SDRC reviews new development and redevelopment along Biscayne Bay. The only direct EAR proposed revision is to clarif}, that public access entails both physical and visual access. Indirectly, federal, state, and local govertunents are exhibiting a stronger post - disaster hazard mitigation justification for acquiring vacant land for public water - dependent and water -related uses and in this manner reduce the potential for new high density residential development. New Issue: Public Awareness and Appreciation of Coastal Resources While many people already appreciate the coastal resources, there is not a full understanding of the extent and range of benefits they contribute to the community of The City of Miami. A new policy was developed to qualify, through research, the economic, health, recreational, and environmental benefits of Dade County and the City's coastal resources and then promote those benefits to the public. It is hoped that better quantification will lead to increased finding and project support. New Issue: Natural Disasters Although natural disasters are certainly not new issues, the after effect of Hurricane Andrew has heightened the issue of how to deal with future hurricanes to reduce risk to 95- 830 8128/95 Page -IX 59 lives and property. Natural disaster implications are far reaching for Dade County and the City of Miami since it is the most hurricane vulnerable area within the United States. Hurricane Andrew was a lesson learned for The City of Miami, the State of Florida, and the Federal government. Cost cutting in the form of hazard mitigation has become an extremely high federal and state priority. It. is the driving force to inventory existing development in not only the Coastal High Hazard Area (CIIHA: Category 1 Hurricane Evacuation Area) but the newly defined Hurricane Vulnerability Zone, adding categories 2 and 3 as well as the CHIIA (I-IVZ: Category 1-3 Hurricane Evacuation Area). Local governments are strongly encouraged to conduct hazard mitigation wherever possible, both pre and post -disaster. Dade Count), and the City was very progressive with objectives and policies supporting hazard mitigation within the 1988 CDIVIP. However, there was some conflict between objectives and policies which caused overlap and redundancy. Post -Andre«, several planning documents were developed, including the Interagency Hazard Mitigation Team Report, the DC Hazard Mitigation Plan, and the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) Emergency Preparedness Issue. Dade is encouraged, or required by the State, to incorporate some of this material into the EAR, and be consistent with the state and regional plans. This has been done. However, there are inconsistencies within and between the state and regional plans, such as existing development and urban infill directives VS direct population away from the CHHA and HVZ, sensitive environmental lands, and reduce urban sprawl. The State and federal governments do not know how to reconcile the difference between mandating natural disaster -related requirements for a geographically big, largely developed and populated county like Dade VS a small county just developing. Dade County seriously lacks the necessary finding for hazard mitigation projects, and federal and state flinding support for hazard mitigation is grossly inadequate. New Issue - Protection of Historic Resources The major unanticipated problem for historic preservation in Dade County and the City of Miami has been the damaged caused by Hurricane Andrew. This major storm had a substantial impact on historic structures and landscapes in southern Dade County with approximately 50 percent of the designated historic sites being destroyed or severely damaged. Historic resources that are repaired and maintained are less vulnerable to impacts of disasters. Hazard mitigation measures need to be undertaken to prepare for future disasters. Economic incentives such as tax reduction measures and low -interest loan programs and the enforcement of appropriate regulations for construction, health and 8/28/95 95- 830 Page -IX 60 fire prevention would facilitate the repair and maintenance of historic resources. A policy addressing code enforcement for historic structures is needed CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS This section of the Subelement presents on summary of general conclusions and identifies needed actions and/or proposed plan amendments to address or implement identified changes as discussed in other sections of this report. Yroposed revisions may include the identification of new and revised goals. Objectives and policies, revised future condition maps, capital improvements schedule and monitoring and evaluation procedure. While actual proposed amendment language is not included, the general nature or types of changes are clearly described.

The City of Miami administration went from 37 departments and divisions to 11 departments in order to reduce the budget and to provide more responsive management.. The City of Miami has made reasonable progress in accomplishing the following objectives of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element: 1. Maintain and improve coordination of planning, development and impact assessment among governmental entities with applicable responsibilities within the City of Miami's area of concern. 2. Encourage the use of interlocal agreements to improve coordination of local development and the effective and efficient delivery of local services. 3. Maintain consistent and coordinated planning and management of major natural resources within areas with multi -government jurisdictional responsibilities. 1. Coordinate with local, regional, and State entities with responsibility in the establishment of Level of Service Standards. 2. Initiate cooperative inter jurisdictional approaches to special intra-regional planning needs. CURRENT ISSUES Recommendations The key recommendations of the Intergovernmental Coordination EAR are the following: New objectives and policies will be needed to address the issues of coordinating new disposal sites for dredged spoil, providing a coordinated regional strategy for economic Page X-2 95- 830 development, and encouraging all levels of government to work together ensuring adequate and timely shelter for those people residing in hurricane evacuation areas. Proposed Revisions A key recomnlcndation of the Intergovernmental Coordination EAR are: • New objectives and policies will be needed to address the issues of coordinating, with Dade County. new disposal sites for dredged spoil: + Providing a coordinated regional strategy for economic development; and • Encouraging all levels of' government of work together ensuring adequate and timely shelter for people residing in hurricane evacuation area. Page X-3 95- 83 r� CONDITION OF THE ELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION FEDERAL AND STATE OVERVIEW Federal and State coordination in Dade County is implemented not only through the congressional session in Washington D.C. and the annual two -month legislative session in Tallahassee respectively, but also through the several federal and State agencies who must approve local plans and projects. In this regard the most important federal agencies are the Corps of Engineers, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Department of Transportation and the Coast Guard. The most important State agencies in terms of local coordination are the Department of Community Affairs, Department of Transportation, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Department of Environmental Regulation. The Department of Natural Resources is a cabinet -level department which administers and maintains state lands. The Department of Community .Affairs administers state programs pertaining to local governments principally in the area of planning, housing and emergency preparedness. The Department of Transportation administer state programs concerned with state highways, mass transit, and airports. The Department of Environmental Regulation is concerned with the orderly permitting process for development in the State environmentally sensitive areas. REQUIRED OVERVIEW Most local observers would agree that the South Florida region is comprised of Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, for a variety of economic and transportation factors. However, the various "regional" agencies use different geographic bases. The South Florida Water Management District has authority over all or part of 16 counties in south and central Florida, including Dade County. It provides for the management and conservation of regional water resources and protects urban areas from flooding by constructing and maintaining canals: dikes and other structures. The district also preserved natural resources, promotes recreation and helps maintain navigable waters. The District is governed by a nine member board of directors, two of whom come from Dade County. It has the authority to levy taxes in each member County. The South Florida Regional Planning Council is responsible for regional planning of Dade, Broward Page X-4 and Monroe Counties. It proposes a regional plan, reviews major projects (Development of Regional Impact), and provides technical assistance and informational reports. Membership on the 21-member Council is composed of representatives of member County Commissions. of' municipalities within member counties, and appointees of the Governor of Florida. They serve for three year terms. Plammng councils do not have taxing authority but are financed by each county commission in proportion to the population served. One member of the Miami City Commission is designated to sit on the Council by the Dade League of Cities. In addition, Dade County is one of 11 east coast counties which make up the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) created by the State to acquire and maintain navigable waterways. Until this year, FIND had not levied a property tax for several years, since there was a sufficient fund balance from previous years to continue the programs of replacing certain bridges spanning the Intercoastal Waterway. Finally, perhaps the most important regional body for the next decade is the Florida High Speed Rail Transportation Commission, comprised of five members appointed by the Governor, for the purpose of explaining the opportunity to connect Tampa, Orlando and Miami by high-speed ground transportation. COUNTY OVERVIEW The government of Dade County is a modified "two tier" system or government. The upper tier or level, the County government, provides area wide functions. Twenty-seven cities make up the second tier, providing services limited within the unincorporated areas of Dade County, this system of government is referred to as a "modified" two tier system. Metropolitan Dade County, Florida's first home rule county government, was established through the adoption of a state constitutional amendment in 1956 and a "home rule" charter adopted by vote of the electorate on May 21, 1957, as a successor to the former County government established in 1836. The governance of Dade County has been a constant subject of review. Mayor proposals for changes are shown in the chronology below: 1953 -A vote to consolidate Miami and Dade County governments was narrowly defeated. 1954 -"Government of Metropolitan Miami", Public Administration Service, Chicago, Illinois, was published in 1954. Page X-5 95- 83n 1956 -The 1885 State Constitution was amended through statewide vote of the electorate in November to enable Dade County to enact home rule legislation. 1957 -A new home rule charter was narrowly enacted through a County -wide vote to establish Metropolitan Dade County. 1958 -The "autonomy amendment", to make municipalities supreme within municipal boundaries, was defeated. 1961 -A substitute charter, to return Dade County to pre -Metro status, was defeated. 1963 -A series of five substantive charter amendments were proposed: two limiting the Manager's powers and one pertaining to representation were approved. Formerly there were 13 County Commissioners: 5 elected from districts in a county -wide at -large vote, 5 elected from and by districts. 1 each elected from the cities of Nliami, Miami Beach and Hialeah. The amendments reduced Board membership to nine 9, Eight (8) elected from Countywide districts by a county -wide at -large vote and the Mayor elected from any district by a county -wide vote 1968 -The new Florida Constitution introduced the concept of home rule of all cities and counties in Florida. 1972 -A charter amendment was defeated which would have changed the County Commission representation to 13: 11 elected by and from county -wide at -large vote, and to change to a strong mayor form of government. 1976 -The "Citizens Bill of Rights" was approved by the electorate as a preamble to the County Charter. 1978 -The Touche-Ross Study, "A Review of the Two Tier Government in Miami/Dade County for the City of Miami" sponsored by the City of Miami" sponsored by the City of Miami, recommended a metropolitan federation composed of a strengthened City of Miami as part of the upper tier and 10 lower -tier municipalities to be created in place of the other 26 cities and the unincorporated area. The study proposed a 27 member County Commission composed of representatives of the City of Miami, the 10 City mayors, along with members -at - large. 1981 -A charter review commission proposed the strengthening of the two tier concept through the extension of limited purpose municipal units or the extension of existing municipal boundaries into the unincorporated areas. The Commission also proposed increasing the power of the Mayor and County Commission at the expense of the County Manager. 1984 -The Hertz Study "Governing Dade County: A Study of Alternative Structures" recommended a strong mayor, increasing the size of the County Commission to between 15 and 21. providing for both district and at -large elections, establishing one or more municipalities for major unincorporated areas and providing for annexing remaining unincorporated portions to these major municipalities. In summary, while proposals to remodel Metropolitan Dada County have not been in short supply, suffice it to say that these proposals have not been accepted recently by the electorate. At the same time, it should be anticipated that the questions of County Commissioners "election by district" and "strong mayor" will very likely return to the public forum. Metropolitan Dade County provides a wide range of services, summarized on the "Metropolitan Dade County" on Table II.2 Citizens of Dade County receive protection through a dual court system: the State courts and the federal courts. The Florida court system was established by Article V of the Florida Constitution. It provides for two levels of trial courts at the local level: county courts and circuit courts. County courts hear traffic cases, misdemeanors, landlord;'tenant disputes and certain civil cases. At the present time, there are 32 county court judges. Circuit court judges hear more serious cases, often involving juries, including civil cases, divorces, family and juvenile cases and criminal cases including felonies. The 87 circuit court judges are elected for six year terms. Other offices of the criminal justice system are the State Attorney, Public Defender and Clerk of the Court. In summary, the government of Metropolitan Dade County is very much like the federal system of layered responsibility. Dade County provides certain metropolitan services within the City of Miami. The Dade County Public School system enrolls and educates approximately 250,000 students annually and is the fourth largest school system, in terms of enrollment, in the United States. It is an autonomous system covering all of Dade County and is operated by a seven member School Board whose members serve a four year term; five members are elected from and by districts; two are elected at -large. The school system levies taxes throughout Dade County to support operations. The Public Health Trust is a semiautonomous agency Page X-7 $5 � 82'0 formed by the Board of County Commissioners to operate Jackson Memorial Hospital. The two principal public utility companies are Florida Power .and Light Company and Southern Bell Telephone Company. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATING MECHANISMS Dade County is comprised of 27 cities and the unincorporated area of the County. As shown on Figure W.I. The population and assessed valuation of property in the unincorporated area are slightly greater than all the cities combined. The City of Miami has operated under the Commission -Manager form of government since 1921. The City Commission which corresponds to the term "Council" in other cities, consists of five elected citizens who must be registered voters in the City. The Commission acts as a legislative body to pass ordinances, and appoints and established policy for the chief administrative officer, the City manager. The City Manager is responsible for seeing that the City administration properly executes the polices and ordinances of the Commission. The Commission rneets regularly twice a month (except in August) in open public hearing. City elections are held on the first and second (in the case of a runoff) Tuesdays in November every two years on odd -numbered years. Two Commissioners are elected to serve four year terms; the Mayor is elected for a two-year term. The City of Miami must coordinate with the adjacent cities of: Miami Beach North Bay Village Miami Shores El Portal Hialeah West Miami Coral Gables and the unincorporated area of Dade County and the two public utility companies: Southern Bell and Florida Power and Light. The principal points of coordination are shown on Table II.2. The coordinating mechanisms are described in the subsequent narrative. The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is comprised of the Board of County Commissioners sitting as a planning body. They adopt the Dade County Transportation Plan, the Unified Planning Work Program, the Transportation Improvement Program, and other functional plans. Assisting the MPO from a technical standpoint is the Transportation Planning Council (TPC) which is comprised of' Dade County department directors concerned with transportation, and representatives of Florida Department of Transportation. Florida Department of Environmental Regulations, the federal Urban Mass Transportation Administration and Federal Highway Administration, and the Dade County School Board. Citizen's input is obtained from the Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee. The Board of County Commissioners also adopts the. Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan and long range element of the Transportation Plan. Coordination among the cities of the County is maintained through the Dade League of Cities, which has representation from all the municipalities and meets monthly to discuss issues of mutual concern. The League maintains an executive secretary and a legal counsel. The Biscayne Bay Management Committee is comprised of three members of the Board of County Commissioners, and representatives from the Florida Department of Natural Resources, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, the Biscayne National Monument, the U.S. Coast Guard and South Florida Water Management District. They meet quarterly to deliberate on management issues in the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve. The Miami River Coordination Committee is comprised of 11 members: 3 members appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, 3 members appointed by the Miami City Commission and 3 members appointed by the Governor and a representative of both the City and County Manager. They meet monthly to discuss issues concerning the appropriate use of the river. The City of Miami Plat and Street Committee is comprised of representatives of City departments concerned with development and two public utility companies, Florida Power and Light and Southern Bell Telephone Company. This Committee reviews and recommends subdivision plats to the City Commission. The Miami Metro Action Plan is a joint initiative of private sector, public sector and community representatives, operating under the administrative leadership of Metro Dade County. The group meets yearly in a two-day convention to review past progress and establish the upcoming year's agenda. The principal purpose of the Action Plan is to eliminate disparities between the black community and other community groups. Greater Miami United is a privately funded agency which represents the diverse ethnic groups in the community and attempt to resolve conflicting interests among community groups. Page X-9 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ANALYSIS Evaluation of Effectiveness The degrees of effectiveness of intergovernmental coordination efforts between the City of Miami and other units of government rests on the following four underlying factors: I. Metropolitan Dade County has the authority and responsibility for Metropolitan -type facilities and services which transcend municipal boundaries such as Metrorail, highways and arterial streets, water and sanitary sewer transmission lines, the Port of Miami and Miami International Airport. 2. The City of Miami has the authority and responsibility for certain local facilities and services within boundaries. 3. The physical proximity of major county and City departments in the Downtown Government Center has contributed to closer cooperation. 4. The antecedents of Metro departments and agencies have often been former City of Miami departments and agencies. The present Metro Dade Water Sewer Authority Department was, until 1973, the City of Miami Water Department. This transfer has meant that Metro department staff can often anticipate the reactions of their opposites in the City, Both Metro and City have well developed civil service merit systems for their personnel. Therefbre, the most effective means of' coordination at the present time are joint meetings between the affected staff of the County and City departments. As seen from the previous discussion there is a lack of formal intergovernmental coordination mechanisms; only the recently -formed Miami River Management Committee is representative of all public sector interests that are concerned with this particular issue. Specific Problem Areas The areas of concern between Metro Dade County and the City of Miami have historically been threefold: 1. The allocation of county resources between the City and the unincorporated area. For example, the relative emphasis on improvements to county arterials located within the City versus the relative emphasis on improvements to County arterials located in the Page X-10 95-- 830 unincorporated area is a concern. But the opposite also happens. Recently the City Commission has expressed its concern over the concentration of County jail facilities within the City of Miami. 2. The imposition of more county authority over municipal development regulations. For example, some three years ago, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a Shoreline Development Review Ordinance, which the City had viewed as an unnecessary intrusion into municipal zoning pavers. 3. The expansions of county facilities which require the acquisition of City of Miami property. Recent years have seen negotiations over the Port of Miami expansion to Sam's Island and the New Port Bridge right-of-way over the former F> C property which had been acquired by the City for park prerogatives. There are few, if any, problems among the City of Miami and adjacent municipalities chiefly because of the division of Metropolitan -wide functions (to Metro Dade County) and local functions to municipalities. Whatever areas of concern remain are capable of discussion at monthly Dade League of Cities meetings. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL Planning Coordination The need for improved planning coordination is most clearly apparent from the City's lack of standing in the Metropolitan Planning Organization and its technical are, the Transportation Planning Council. Without formal City representatives on either body it is difficult for the City to attempt to influence the preparation of the Unified Planning Work Program and the Transportation Improvement Program. Such advance planning coordination would go far to alleviate two problem areas: allocation of County resources and expansion of county facilities. Although the concern is not as great, some coordination mechanism between the City of Miami and the Dade County School Board is needed. Areas of Critical State Concern There are no areas of critical state concern in the City of Miami. Page X-I I 95- 830 } i CONDITION OF THE ELEMENT AT THE DATE.

Reorganize natural disaster -related objectives to provide a stronger distinction between the objectives and their policies. As written, the objectives are unclear in their purpose and often overlap between pre -and post -storm and implementation of hazard mitigation and redevelopment. The revised objectives focus solely on the following: Objective N-r-1.1: Preserve and protect the existing natural systems within Virginia Key, the Dinner Key Spill island, and those portions of Biscayne Bay that lie within the City's boundaries.

CC CJt i 00 C.� C� l MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT PHYSICAL DETERIORATION. LOCATION OF LAND USES. AND THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECT. The City of Miami coordinates with Metro Dade County, State and Federal agencies the major problems of Development, Physical Deterioration and the location of Land Uses. The City of Miami construct and maintains public housing county -wide and plans, provides development approval, this is obtained by informal meetings, formal zoning and permit procedures. The City of Miami, Coast Guard and Dade County work together in order to develop regulations and prepare plans to repair any physical deterioration in the sea wall and sewer system at the Port of Miami River. The City of Miami Department of Public Works coordinates with County and State agencies; prepares the SWIM plans and set standards for surface and ground quantity, delegates authority and enforces standards. The public works department regulates and enforces dredge and fill, delegates authority and enforces delegated authority. The City of Miami Planning Department allocate funds and creates plans to provide landscaping and beautification of selected parks, state and local roads. This is obtained by informal meetings, formal agreements and grant contract via County and State procedures; The Planning Department designs the land use within the boundaries of the City taking into account Socio-economical conditions and coordinates with Homeowners Associations, County and State agencies. Page X-26 95- 830 .-IN NEW ISSUES AND UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES The City of Miami is in need of more support from State and Federal level because of the constant influx of immigrants to the area. This creates a tremendous hardship to the city tax -payers. There is a need for allocations of funds from the State level for improvement of social services within the boundaries of the City of Miami; the Homeless issues is very significant to the City since 1994 a "Homeless task force" was created and the City in coordination with Dade County is currently working with several local social agencies to provide social services and shelter to the homeless community. We need to 0 improve our coordination with the State and Federal Government to provide better to the "International Business Community" moving into the City of Miami. The Citv of Miami is the "Gateway to South American" creating a tremendous international market for our products and a finance market to the local and national economy, we need to coordinate more aggressive with local and International Chamber of Commerce to bring more business into the City of Miami and Dade County. Page X-27 95- 830 EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(a)6., F.A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in: 1) Section 187.02, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP); 2) the appropriate strategic regional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. (Local Oovenunent Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria For Review of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed. as appropriate, in each element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP). These plaits, in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC's February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above referenced statutory and rule changes, this element will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE FLAN The amendments to the State comprehensive Plan made since 1988 will have no impact on the Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE). Page X-28 i 95830 CONSISTENCY WITH STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN FOR SOUTH FLORIDA. The draft Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida, will require extensive changes to the Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) in the MCNP to provide consistency between the two plans. Policy revisions and new objectives and policies will be needed to address the goals and policies in the draft regional plan. The South Florida SRO serves a key intergovernmental function by being a basis for resolving disputes in planning and growth management issues and for coordinating solutions to groNN,ih related problems or greater -than -local issues. The regional plan incorporates explicit considerations of collaborative planning and decision -making processes in the formation of policies. Collaboration needs are identified in the strategic regional subject areas that comprised this regional plan. These subject areas are those from a regional perspective that have potential to affect significant physical characteristics or quality of life. The South Florida SRO identifies regionally significant resources and facilities that could be incorporated into this Element. The regional transportation facilities consist of transit systems, transportation services, highway system, rail network, airports and seaports. Public facilities for potable water, wastewater, drainage, solid waste, recreation and open space, education, energy, telecommunications, military and corrections are included. Economic development resources and facilities are comprised of convention centers, enterprise and free trade zones, universities and community colleges, world trade centers, regional sports and entertainment facilities, vocational educational facilities, one -stop business centers, exhibition centers, and the Iibrary system. Emergency preparedness facilities and resources include evacuation facilities, emergency shelters and institutional facilities such as emergency operating centers, communication facilities, police and fire/rescue stations, National Hurricane Center, emergency health center facilities, and flood control structures. Natural resources of regional significance consist of water resources, coastal and marine areas, natural communities and planning and resource management areas. Archaeological or historical sites or properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places are also significant. The model element to be incorporated in the South Florida SRO will contain for ICE purposes a specific list of regionally significant resources and facilities that may differ from the current list. The City of Miami can incorporate this list in an amendment to the ICE. The strategic regional subject area of land use and public facilities in the South Florida SRO contains a variety of policies that generally would require changes in the adopted portion of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE). The relevant policies in this strategic subject area are focused on achieving long-term efficient and sustainable development patterns, improving the quality and range of services, ensuring the provision of adequate and equitable financing mechanisms and promoting cooperation among local goverriments. Page X-29 Several relevant SRO policies are oriented to improving the quality of services provided, in -creasing the range of services, and ensuring adequate and equitable financing mechanisms. To be consistent with Regional Policy 2.3.12, a policy is needed to facilitate the establishment of formal agreements among the necessary governmental bodies to implement coordinated planning for the development of` public facilities and services. Review procedures for the consideration of the impacts of development on state. regional and local public facilities and services must be addressed in the amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes to provide consistency with Regional Policy 2.3.13. To be consistent with Regional Policy 2.3.14. a new policy under should be prepared requiring development to adhere to the guidelines, policies and provisions of applicable lnterlocal agreements. A policy should be developed to provide consistency with Regional Policy 2.3.30 which requires impact fee ordinances to provide for the impacts On state, regional and local government facilities. Several regional policies are focused on promoting cooperation among local governments. The amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes will be needed to provide consistency with regional policy 2.3.35 which requires the implementation of the Council's dispute resolution process to reduce the incidence of unresolved conflicts. To be consistent with Regional Policy 2.3.36, the rules for assessing and mitigating cross jurisdictional impacts must be included in the amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes. Regional Policy 2.3.37 which recommends the provision of technical support to local governments in preparing the ICE is supportive of the local planning process. A new policy or modification must be developed to provide consistency with Regional Policy 2.3.39 which encourages local governments to review development regulations in order to simplify and expedite proposed new educational fa- cility developments and renovations. The strategic regional subject area of natural resources of regional significance contains numerous policies addressing issues that must eventually be covered in the ICE. The regional plan promotes groMh and development away from natural resources of regional significance, futhers the elimination of avoidable impacts to natural resources of regional significance and other high quality natural systems, provides guidance for sustainable high quality natural resources and development in the region, encourages water conservation practices, advances stormwater retention and freshwater utilization, addresses invasive exotic plants and animals, and encourages the ecologically sensitive use of natural resources of regional significance. Regional Policies 3.1.3. and 3.1.4 facilitate the identification of natural resources of regional significance. These resources must be identified in the ICE amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes. Regional Policies 3.1.1, 3.1.8-3.I1, 3.13,3.1.14.3.1.18, 3.1.19,3.2.6-3.2.11, 3.2.15,3.3.6, 3.4.1, 3.4.2., 3.4.5, 3.4.6, 3.4.8. 3.4.10, 3.6.1. 3.8.1-3.8.3, and 3.8.5 address mitigation concerns for natural resources of regional significance. The description of mitigation criteria and standards for these resources will be addressed in the amendment for intergovernmental coordination Page X-30 95- 830 processes. The strategic regional subject area of economic development contains a goal and policies that need to be addressed in the ICE. The relevant portions of this strategic regional subject area are concerned with business resources, transportation and strategic planning. Regional Policy 4.1.20 is to strengthen the role of small and minority business in economic development by creating a state and regional finance corporation that would enter into interlocal governments with cities and counties to increase available credit for new expanding businesses. Several relevant polices are oriented to using transportation facilities and infrastructure for economic. development. Regional Policy 4.1.10 which requires the coordination and development a total integrated transportation system which transit plays an active role in the movement of people. Regional Policy 4.1.11 requires the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPOs) in the region to coordinate strategies for strengthening international trade. Regional Policy 4.1.12 addresses the coordination of seaports, airports and ground transportation through forums, workshops, and seminars as it relates to international trade, tourism, sports and other business ventures. Relevant regional goal and policies on strategic planning for economic development activities should result in a new objective and an associated policy cluster in the ICE. A new objective is needed to provide consistency with Strategic Regional Goal 4.2 which requires the achievement of a coordinated regional strategy for economic development to address opportunities and threats and promote the assets of the region. A new policy should be created to reflect consistency with Regional Policy 4.2.1 which recommends collaborative research efforts to better understand the impacts and benefits of international business, tourism, sports and entertainment. To be consistent with Regional Policy 4.2.4. the establishment of a South Florida Regional International Affairs Consortium to address business and trade issues should be supported by a new policy. To provide consistency with Regional Policy 4.2.6., a policy should be prepared that encourages the integration of local efforts with state-wide economic development initiatives including Enterprise Florida. The strategic regio.al subject area of regional transportation contains policies on people with transportati n disadvantages and planning coordination that should be addressed in the ICE to provide consistency between the regional plan and the MCNP. The regional plan contains a goal and several policies that promote a coordinated transportation planning process. The strategic regional subject area of affordable housing contains policies on strengthening the institutional framework for delivery of affordable dwellings and increasing funding that should be addressed in the ICE. Regional Policy 6.3.1. requires local governments, the state and the regional planning council to work cooperatively in Page X-31 95- 830 developing a regional understanding of the need for affordable dwellings and identifying opportunities to create this housing. Regional Policy 6.3.5. encourages the use of interlocal agreements among adjacent communities to meet the need for low-income housing. Regional Policy 6.3.10, is designed to promote joint funding cycles for federal, state and local affordable housing programs. Regional Policy 7.4.7. encourages local, regional, state and federal agencies to work together to evaluate the criteria and reach consensus on criteria used for designating places of' shelter. Such criteria for shelter should include but not be limited to location, structural integrity, space provided per person and availability of essential provisions. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART II, FLORIDA STATUTES (F.S.) The Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) establishes the measures for coordinating with other local governments and regional, state and federal agencies to carry out the other elements of the comprehensive plan. The legislation passed since 1988 formalized this coordination process in the ICE which ensures that issues impacting more than one jurisdiction are adequately re -solved. To achieve greater planning coordination among the various govermnent entities within each county, interlocal agreements are also required for the ICE. The legislature has determined that the intergovernmental coordination elements of the local comprehensive plans should be strengthened to allow a local planning -based approach for addressing the impact of significant developments. This approach would replace in many communities a regionally coordinated approach, known as the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) review, for regulating large developments. Section 163.3177 (6)(h), F.S. requires the amended ICE to expressly provide for processes that would 1) determine if development proposals would have significant impacts on other local governments or on state or regional resources and facilities; 2) mitigate extrajurisdictional impacts; 3) resolve disputes over extrajurisdictional impacts and mitigation; and 4) allow for modification of development orders issued for a DRI without the project losing its recognized development rights. The processes for reviewing and mitigating extrajurisdictional impacts must be limited to significant impacts. Rule 9J- 5.015(4) has been developed to guide preparation of an ICE amendment to address this portion of the statute. The ICE amendment must state all the principles and guidelines to be used in the coordination of the adopted comprehensive plan with the plans of school boards and other units of local government providing facilities and services but not having regulatory Page X-32 95- 830 authority over the use of land. Each county, all the municipalities within that county, the district school board and all other service providers are required to enter into formal agreements and include in their plans joint processes for collaborative planning and decision making on population projections and public school siting, the location and extension of public facilities subject to concurrency, and the siting of facilities with countywide significance including locally unwanted land uses whose nature and identity are established in the agreement. A rule describing how these interlocal agreements must be addressed in the ICE has yet to be prepared by DCA. The 1993 legislation contains several additional concerns that must be addressed in the preparation of the amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes. The element must include the recognition of the campus master plans prepared pursuant to Section 240.155, F.S., for the state university system. Procedures to identify and implement joint planning areas, especially for the purpose of annexation, and joint infrastructure service areas must be included. To foster coordination between special districts and local general- purpose governments as local jurisdictions implement local comprehensive plans, each independent special district must submit a public facility report to the appropriate local government as required by Section 189.415, F.S. Section 163.3189(3)(a), F.S. provides a compliance mediation process between DCA and local governments for amendments to local comprehensive plans. After DCA has issued its notice of intent and the matter has been forwarded to Division of Administrative Hearings, the local government proposing the amendment may demand formal mediation or the local government pro -posing the amendment or an affected person with standing may demand informal mediation or expeditious resolution of the amendment proceedings by serving written notice to all parties and the hearing officer. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 9J-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (F.A.C.) To maintain consistency with Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., two amendments must be prepared for the Intergovernmental Coordination Element. An EAR -based amendment must be adopted by 1996 to address new requirements for an objective and policies. Another amendment to be adopted and implemented by 1998 will focus on intergovernmental coordination processes in the adopted portion of this element. The amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes will reflect the current rule or a rule that will be drafted in 1995-96. To be consistent with rule changes (Rule 9J-5.015(3)(b)(4), F.A.C., and Rule 9J- 5.015(3)(C)(9) F.A.C.), a new objective and policy cluster is needed in an EAR -based amendment to address the issue of new sites for dredged spoil in the coastal area. An Page X-33 95- 830 objective providing for the coordination of new disposal sites for dredged spoil in counties and municipalities having responsibilities for spoil disposal will be required. A policy must be developed to involve the navigation and inlet districts, other appropriate state and federal agencies and the public in providing for or identifying dredged spoil sites for local jurisdictions with responsibilities for the disposal of dredged spoil. A policy is also needed to resolve conflicts between a coastal local government and a public agency seeking a disposal site for dredged spoil through the dispute resolution process of the Coastal Resources Interagency Management Committee. To provide for the processes of intergovernmental coordination, the current Rule 9J-S.01 5(4), F.A.C.. will require extensive revisions to the adopted portion of this element. The ICE amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes will need to address: the identification of resources, facilities and community characteristics, definitions of significant impact: the description of mitigation criteria; the demonstration of intergovernmental compatibility: the development review process, the dispute resolution process; and the modification and rendering of development orders. Local govermnents must evaluate certain proposed developments within their jurisdiction to identify whether any proposal would result in significant impacts on resource and facilities located in other jurisdictions and provide for the mitigation of these impacts. This evaluation will be done at the development order stage and not at the comprehensive plan amendment stage. The types of developments and permits that will be reviewed for extrajurisdictional impacts must be identified in the amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes. All development proposals undergoing this review must be evaluated based on the resources, facilities and community characteristics identified in the amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes. Eligible state and regional resources and facilities that are contained in the State Comprehensive Plan and the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida must be included in this amendment. The state and regional resources and facilitates which are located within the area of concern for Dade County and other affected local governments must be identified by location. Local resources and facilities that are located within other jurisdictions must be identified by a general description, a specific location for physical facilities and resources and a listing of local governments which could be significantly impacted. The amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes shall also include any local resources and facilities within the County's jurisdiction which could be significantly impacted by development located outside of it's jurisdiction. For each identified local resource or facility, the following information is required: a generic description, a specific geographic location for physical resources and facilities, and a list of the local governments and types of development which could impact the resource or facility. According to the current Rule, Metro -Dade County may identify in the amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes any other community issue or characteristic Page X-34 95- 830 which could be impacted by development in another jurisdiction. These community issues or characteristics must be clearly defined in the amendment and identified in the goals, objectives and policies of any other element in the MCNP. The amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes shall contain a definition of significant impact for each identified resource, facility and community characteristic or issue located within the County's.jurlsdlctlon. These definitions may be quantitative, locational, and/or qualitative In nature. They also must be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan, the Strategic Regional Plan for South Florida and the Metro -Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan. The types of, developments and permits which are deemed by Dade County not to cause a significant must also be identified. The amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes sliall generally describe the criteria or standards for appropriate mitigation of significant impacts on each identified resource, facility and community characteristic or issue located within the County's jurisdiction. The standards or criteria for mitigation must be consistent with the adopted MCNP. Mitigation should be accomplished in the jurisdiction in which the impacts occur, with an option for regional mitigation when preferable. The mitigation criteria developed by the local government receiving the impacts should be used by the jurisdiction with permitting responsibilities. The current Rule encourages the establishment of compatibility between the ICE amendments of neighboring jurisdictions be achieved so that implementation of the ICE development review process flows smoothly and without frequent dispute. Compatibility in the identification of resource, facilities and community characteristics and/or issues; definition of significant impacts; and, description of migration criteria or standards should be demonstrated in the amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes. The current Rule provides local govermnents three ways to be used singly or in combination to demonstrate compatibility in the ICE. One approach is to incorporate relevant portions of the strategic regional policy plan into the amendment. The South Florida Regional Planning Council is currently preparing a model ICE that would address Rule requirements if adopted into the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida. If the model ICE does not address local resources and facilities, the County can use one of the other options to demonstrate compatibility with those resources and facilities. Another option is to submit a joint resolution executed by the County and other local governments which certified that they have reviewed each other's ICE and agree that the identification of resources, facilities and community characteristics, definition of significant impacts and description of mitigation criteria are compatible. Local governments can also demonstrate compatibility through completion of the cross - acceptance negotiation process established by the regional planning council or through other local procedures. Page X-35 95- 830 When compatibility is not demonstrated in the ICE, the local government needs to provide evidence to DCA that it allowed other local governments an adequate opportunity to review and comment on the final proposed amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes. Also, the local government will need to describe how it considered the effects of the plan on other local governments and comments from these jurisdictions. This evidence needs to explain the points of agreement and disagreement. All this information, together with the actual conlineiiis front the otlicr local governments must be submitted to DCA but need not be included in the actual adopted portion of the plan. A development review process must be established in the anlcildnlcnt for intergovernmental coordination processes. This process has two basic components, the identification of significant impacts and the mitigation of such impacts. The intergovernmental coordination review process should be incorporated into the usual review process for developments. A particular project should only be subject to the intergovernmental coordination review process once, unless subsequent changes to the plan of development are likely to result in significant impacts. The current Rule indicates that the single review for extrajurisdictional impacts should occur prior to the approval of an application for a development order or permit which contains a specific plan of de- velopment, including the densities and intensities of land use. A local government is encouraged to demonstrate compatibility by incorporating in the amendment the relevant provisions in the model ICE of the strategic regional policy plan. The development review process must include an analysis by the local government of a proposed development's potential for significant impacts upon all identified resource, facility or community characteristic or issue. Any of the local governments is encouraged to coordinate with appropriate local, regional and state agencies in conducting the impact analysis. Development proposals which have been deemed in the amendment not to cause a significant impact are exempt from this analysis and the remainder of the process. The definition of significant impact used in this analysis is the one contained in the local comprehensive plan where the impact occurs, or the one from the strategic regional policy plan. Based on the impact analysis, the local government will advise the other local governments within its geographic area of the development proposal and the results of the review. Findings of no significant extrajurisdictional impact will be included in a listing of development applications that contain, at a minimum, a general description and the geographic location of the proposal. This listing shall be transmitted to adjacent and other affected governments and made available upon request on a regularly scheduled basis. Any of the other local governments will have at least 15 days from transmittal to respond in writing if it disagrees with the finding. If a disagreement exists between local governments regarding whether a development proposal would create significant extrajurisdictional impacts, the issue will go to dispute resolution. When a finding of significant extrajurisdictional impact is ascertained for a development proposal; the general description, geographic location, and mitigation conditions will be Page X-36 95- 830 transmitted for intergovernmental review. This review shall provide a reasonable opportunity for evaluation and comment by adjacent and other affected local governments. In addition, local governments are encouraged to involve appropriate state, regional and local agencies in the review. The time period(s) for review should be identified in the amendment or defined by interlocal agreement. ii'disagreenlcnts exist between local governments regarding proposed mitigation conditions for significant extrajurisdictional impacts, the issue will go to dispute resolution. The conditions for mitigation of significant impacts shall be included in the local development order and shall be consistent Nvith tile, provisions and criteria of the coniprellensive plan of tile jurisdictions receiving the impacts, the plan of the permitting jurisdiction, the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida and the State Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the current Rule requires the amendment to specify the types of monitoring aIld enforcement procedures that will ensure that the mitigation is provided. The local government can opt in the amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes to retain the DRI program to address extrajurisdictional impacts for development proposals that equal or exceed threshold levels. For other development proposals, the local government will need to adopt and implement an intergovernmental coordination review process. The amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes shall contain a dispute resolution process for bringing to closure in a timely manner those disputes that pertain to development proposals that would have impacts on other Iocal governments or identified state or regional resources or facilities. The ICE shall incorporate the dispute resolution process of the South Florida Regional Planning Council that was established pursuant to Section 186.504,F.S. The amendment may include additional dispute resolution alternatives which are consistent with and further the regional resolution process. These additional local procedures must work either prior to or in conjunction with the regional process. The current Rule requires local government to indicate in its comprehensive plan that after receiving a petition for dispute resolution, it will respond within 15 days. The response must be in writing and indicate the status and expected date of issuance of the subject development order. The local government needs to establish criteria for responding to dispute resolution petitions such as limiting the factors for delaying development orders. However, any such limiting criteria would have to be reasonable and consistent with the intent of the statute and rule. A process for modifying DRI development orders issued pursuant to Section 380.06, F.S., must be established in the amendment for intergovernmental coordinating processes. This process must be consistent with the other provisions of the element and must recognize development rights. Only those issues raised by the proposed change should be subject to the imposition of new conditions. Upon the termination of the DRI program in the jurisdiction, projects that would normally undergo DRI review but for the ending of the Page X-37 35- 830 program are subject to oversight by DCA. The amendment must contain a provision that would render to DCA development orders for these projects and all development order amendments for previously approved DRIs. This transmittal must Include supporting documentation. DCA retains the right of appeal under Section 380.07, F.S., for all development order amendments for previously approved DRis, as well as all development orders and amendments for projects which meet or exceed the thresholds in Section 380.0651, I.S., and Rule 28-24, F.A.C., even through the DR] program may formally terminate in that jurisdiction. The amendment for intergovernmental coordination processes could specify the procedures and time frame for up -front coordination with DCA and other appropriate agencies. The primary purpose of the current Rule is to improve upon the perceived weakness of the ICE in exchange for the termination of the DRI program m certain communities. This termination for a local government will require the ICE amendment addressing the intergovernmental coordination processes to be adopted, to be in compliance, along with the entire plan, with Chapter 163. F.S., and Rule 9J-5. F.A.C.; and, to be implemented through the land development regulations. The local government must certify that above actions have occurred, and DCA must accept the certification. Once this certification has been approved, the DRI program is terminated and the local government begins implementation of the review process to Identify and address extrtjurisdictional impacts. CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS Regional Dispute Resolution Process (RDRP) This process was created by legislation (Section 186.509, F.S.) to establish an approach for dispute resolution and mediation in reconciling differences on planning and growth management issues. The RDRP can be used to resolve disputes involving extrajurisdictional impacts (Section 163,3177, F.S.), inconsistencies between port master plans and local comprehensive plans (Section 163.3178, F.S.); siting of community residential homes (Section 419.001(5), F.S.); and any other matters covered by statutes that reference this process. This collaborative process consists of the basic components of initiation/response letters and a settlement meeting and the optional components of pre -initiation meeting, situation assessment, mediation, advisory decision making and reference to other dispute resolution processes (judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceedings). The intent of this Statute is to provide an approach to reconciling differences that will clearly identify and resolve problems as early as possible; utilize the procedures in a low -to -high cost sequence; facilitate a flexible use of procedures, allow the appropriate involvement of affected and responsible parties; and provide as much certainly as possible. The South Florida Regional Planning Council has adopted Chapter Page X-38 35- 830 29J-3 which establishes a voluntary regional dispute .resolution process. This regional process must be incorporated into ICE. Cross Acceptance Process. Regional planning councils are permitted by Section 186.505 (22) F.S. to establish and conduct a cross -acceptance process with local governments to resolve inconsistencies betwcen applicable local and regional plans. with participation by jurisdictions being voluntary. Cross acceptance occurs when neighboring or overlapping local and regional agencies and jurisdictions review and formally accept each other's plans. Cross -acceptance generally procceds in three phases: comparison of local and regional plans, negotiation of plan. inconsistencies. and resolution of outstanding conflicts. Location of spoil sites, The Coastal Resources Interagency Management Committee is allowed by Section 380.32(14), F.S. to establish a procedure for addressing and resolving disputes concerning the location of spoil disposal sites. The committee may utilize the RDRP to resolve conflicts. Community Residential Hornes. The problems with locating community residential homes is addressed in Section 419.001(5) F.S., which allows the use of an independent mediator or the RDRP to resolve conflicts between local governments and sponsoring agencies. Page X-39 95- 830 CONCLUSION AND PROPOSED REVISION A key recommendation of the Intergovernmental Coordination EAR are: New objective and policies will be needed to address the issues of coordinating, for dredge spoil; Encouraging all levels of government to work together ensuring adequate and timely shelter for people residing in hurricane evacuation area. To address the constant influx of immigrants to the area, to obtain financial support from local social agencies, county, sate and federal government.

Components of the Capital Improvement include: Condition of the element at the time of adoption. Condition of the element at the date of EAR. Comparison of objectives with actual results. Major problems of development, physical deterioration, location of land uses, and the social and economic effects of identified problems. Unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities. Consistency with current statutory and rule requirements. Conclusions and proposed revisions. r i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conditions and Trends The CIE contains the capital projects which are necessary to meet the goals and objectives of the various functional elements of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP). The currently adopted CIE contains 72 projects with a cost of $159.3 million, of which $57.6 million or 36.1 percent has been appropriated. Existing evidence supports the conclusion that the capital improvement element of the MCNP is fiscally feasible. However, there are backlogs of unfunded projects which should be carried out to assure complete implementation of the goals, objectives and policies of the Plan. Funding for these projects has become more problematic in many instances since there is now a greater reliance on bonded debt as a source. Fiscal analysis shows that the City's capacity for supporting bonds, both general obligation and revenue backed, is substantial. Despite the significant capacity to support additional bonding for capital improvements, voter reluctance to incur additional assessment has limited the City's ability to use these funding sources. Achievement of Objectives The following objectives were accomplished or substantially accomplished. Objective XI-1 states that the CIE will provide for sound fiscal planning for those capital projects needed to meet the goals, objectives and policies of the MCNP. An assessment of the policy achievement under this objective substantiated that it was substantially met. Objective XI-4 specifies that public expenditure will not encourage development in high hazard coastal areas. This objective has been achieved. Objective XI-3 deals with ensuring that future development pays an equitable share of the cost of public facilities needed to support LOS standards. This objective has been achieved. The following objective has been only partially accomplished. Objective XI-2 is aimed at prompting the local government to provide the methods and resources for upgrading and maintaining facilities/infrastructure at capacities sufficient to meet level of service standards. This objective has not been fully met as financial resources have not been adequate to fund all needed projects, in particular storm sewers, over the past six years. Current Issues The overriding issue today with respect to capital improvements is the impact of the current fiscal environment.. However, any department relying on general obligation bonds for construction or general funds for operations and maintenance is facing difficult times. Budget cutting and general fiscal austerity are the order of the day. This will have long run implications for keeeping up with existing infrastructure needs. Recommendations It is recommended that the updated support material be utilized in the new CIE. The goal, objectives and policies are proposed to be retained essentially intact but with several minor additions and wording changes. The existing monitoring program is recommended for retention. ,"IN CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION OVERVIEW OIL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Capital Facilities Needs and Setting Although the City of Miami is relatively young, it is largely "built -out" and almost entirely developed. Less than six percent of the City's land area is vacant or undeveloped, and there are few areas of significantly large or contiguous vacant property. Nearly all areas of the City are served by sanitary sewers, and those few areas which are still served by private collection systems are programmed for connection to sanitary sewers by 1992. Similarly, all areas of the City are served by potable water and by a storm drainage system which meet the City's current needs. Procedures for establishing zoning regulations, moreover, have been adopted so as to ensure that development has been, and continues to be, consistent with the public infrastructure that serves any given specific area. Large scale developments must obtain special permits, and through the review process the impact on infrastructure capacity is assessed. If the capacity is deemed inadequate to support the proposed development, then construction is not allowed to occur until the required expansion in capacity is provided either by the developer- or the City, or by both parties. Given the absence of large tracts of undeveloped land, the major focus of future real property development lies within redevelopment and revitalization of depressed or declining areas, and with stabilization and maintenance of existing neighborhood quality. Since no major increase in population or population density is foreseen through the year 2000, the major focus of capital infrastructure investment is on the repair and replacement of facilities such as city streets and sewers, and to facilities and equipment for the provision of city services such as solid waste collection, public safety, and public parks and recreation. Level of Service and Adequacy of Existing Facilities The need for improvements in the existing storm drainage system, as indicated in the "Storm Sewers" data and analysis section of this comprehensive plan, is to upgrade the 8/23/95 Page- XI- 5 95- 830 t current system, rather than to expand the system to accommodate the new development of vacant areas. As in the case of park acreage, the City has established a measurable objective for the provision of storm drainage service that it will strive to attain. The long run objective is to have 40 percent of the City's storm sewer system We to accommodate a one -in -five year storm event. The Storm Drainage Master Plan (1985) indicates that attaining the longer term objective would require a major public expenditure effort, with a total system cost estimated at over $230 million (at 1988 construction costs). It is reasonable to expect that at least 30 years of phased construction would be needed to accomplish all the obiectives set forth in the Storm Drainage Master Plan. During the planning horizon of this comprehensive plan, achieving a goal of having 20 percent of the storm sewers with a design capacity of a one -in -five year storm event by the year 2000 has been established as a reasonable objective. Redevelopment and revitalization of existing land are not expected to significantly reduce the permeability of surface areas, and, hence, degrade the level of service provided by the existing storm sewer system. The acceptable level of service for the issuance of development orders is, therefore, set at the current level of 20 percent of the storm sewers designed for a one -in -five year storm event. Through a positive impact on the tax base, new developments within the City would facilitate the financial feasibility of upgrading the current system, while not degrading the current level of service. Capital Improvement Timing Principles The aggregate expenditure on capital improvements undertaken each year is constrained by the availability of capital ftrnds, many of which are earmarked for particular functional categories (e.g.. street improvements, housing and community development, etc.) and some of which must be spent in specific geographic areas (e.g.., funds from special assessment or tax increment financing districts, and Community Development Block Grant funds). These constraints play an important practical role in governing the timing and location of many capital improvement projects. The City adopts a capital budget each year, and annually revises its 5-year schedule of capital improvements, the Capital Improvement Program. In some cases economies of scale, and the reduction of unit costs of construction, play an important role in determining the scheduling of capital improvements. For example, major street and sewer improvements are often undertaken jointly to achieve greater cost efficiency. In other cases a geographic concentration of public facilities improvements may be perceived as an essential catalyst in stimulating the revitalization and redevelopment of marginal or declining areas. Consequently, the success of a neighborhood stabilization or revitalization effort may require a coordinated effort of public park, school, street and sewer improvements and landscaping, or even publicly assisted commercial development. Another very important criterion in determining the timing of capital expenditures is the replacement of equipment or facilities required to provide ongoing services, such as the replacement of trash and garbage trucks, and police and fire vehicles. Replacement expenditures receive a high priority in the allocation of capital fiends. With respect to land development activities, the provision of essential infrastructure (potable water, fire hydrant flow, sewers and roads), is a pre- or co -requisite for developments of significant scope and intensity. Development orders for major projects are reviewed during the permitting process for their impact on public infrastructure and permits are sometimes conditional on the private sector provision of public infrastructure. Public capital projects are often timed to coincide with major private development efforts, and in the future this practice will be required when maintenance of the adopted levels of service for public facilities is threatened. FISCAL CONDITIONS The City's operating expenditures are managed through three distinct funds: the General Fund; the Special Revenue Fund; and the Enterprise Fund. The General Fund is the largest fund, and typically accounts for the traditional public service functions (e.g., public safety, parks and recreation, maintenance of streets and sewers, etc.) provided by local governments. The Special Revenue Fund accounts for revenues that are specifically earmarked for certain activities and/or must be spent in specific geographic areas. The largest source of revenue in the Special Revenue Fund represents the receipt of federal and state grants that must be spent for specifically approved purposes. The Enterprise Fund accounts for the operation of activities similar to private enterprises, but which also result in some public benefit (e.g. marinas, convention centers, stadiums, and solid waste collection). Revenues: With few exceptions, the traditional services that local governments provide are financed from "general" and "special revenue" fund categories. General Fund revenues are intended to finance the general operations of city government, and considerable discretion exists regarding the allocation of these revenues to various functions of government. Special Revenues, in contrast to General Fund Revenues, have much greater restrictions over the types of expenditures which they may finance. The largest share of special revenues originate from intergovernmental transfers from the state or federal government, and, hence, they are usually earmarked either for specific programs or projects, or for general functions. For example, community development block grant funds (federal grants) have been awarded to the City since the mid 1970's for specific community development programs. °35- 830 8/23/95 Page- XI- 7 Revenue Projections and Expenditure Potential: Revenue projections for the General, Special Revenue and Enterprise Funds, which are consistent with future population and employment projections, have been formulated through the year 2000. The projected revenues in the General, Special Revenue, Enterprise, and Debt Service Funds, together with the schedule of current debt service obligations, and assuming that fbrzd balances remain within historical trends, yield the combined operating expenditures from the General, Special Revenue, and Enterprise Funds that can be sustained in the years ahead. The growth of combined expenditures in these three accounts cannot be expected to continue at the same pace as that witnessed between 1983 and 1987. If per capita expenditures, after adjusting for price inflation, were to continue at the pace experienced in 1983-1987, the resulting revenue deficiencies could not be covered by the surpluses that may be expected in the Debt Service Fund. ASSESSMENT OF DEBT CAPACITY As of September 30th, 1988, the General Obligation indebtedness of the City of Miami was $187,350,000. This level of indebtedness was less than 1.3 percent of the legal debt issuing capacity of the City. It is, however, the consideration of publicly acceptable tax burdens imposed by the issuance of debt that represent the more practical constraint on the City's ability to incur additional debt. While public policy, ultimately decided by the voters, determines the amount of bonds issued, it is useful to consider the capacity of the City to issue new debt without increasing the tax rates required to pay debt service. Through the regular process of debt retirement and growth of the tax base, the tax rate required to pay debt service declines over time. If the tax mileage rate were instead held constant, then the excess of tax collections over required disbursements would be available to service additional debt. The amount of new debt that could be supported would be determined by the length of maturity of the new bonds and the prevailing market interest rate at the time of issuance. The projection of debt issuing capacity which follows is based on an assumed maturity length of 20 years, and on a range of future interest rates that may be anticipated. It was estimated that over the 10 years of the comprehensive plan (1989-1998), the City is expected to have the capacity to issue between $184 million and $213 million to finance capital projects without materially affecting current tax rates. 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- XI- 8 CONDITION OF ELEMENT AT DATE OF REPORT UPDATE AND ANALYSIS Or BASELINE DATA Capital Facilities Needs and Setting Since the time of plan adoption the City of Miami has remained virtually unchanged in regard to developed space. As in 1989, the city is largely "built -out" and almost entirely developed. Less than six percent of the City's land area remains vacant or undeveloped, and there are few areas of significantly large or contiguous vacant property. However, the pace of development shows signs of accelerating over the intermediate time horizon. Nearly all areas of the City are served by sanitary sewers. Similarly, all areas of the City are served by potable water and by a storm drainage system which meet the City's current needs. Procedures for establishing zoning regulations, moreover, have been adopted so as to ensure that development has been, and continues to be, consistent with the public infrastructure that serves any given specific area. Large scale developments must obtain special permits, and through the review process the impact on infrastructure capacity is assessed. If the capacity is deemed inadequate to support the proposed development, then construction is not allowed to occur until the required expansion in capacity is provided either by the developer or the City, or by both parties. Given the absence of large tracts of undeveloped land, the major focus of future real property development lies within redevelopment and revitalization of depressed or declining areas, and with stabilization and maintenance of existing neighborhood quality. Since no major increase in population or population density is foreseen through the year 2010, the major focus of capital infrastructure investment will remain on the repair and replacement of facilities such as city streets and sewers, and to facilities and equipment for the provision of city services such as solid waste collection, public safety, and public parks and recreation. Level of Service and Adequacy of Existing Facilities As indicated earlier, the "built -out" nature of the City together with the relatively slow pace of anticipated population growth results in the absence of service deficiencies regarding the potable water and waste water transmission systems, and the solid waste collection system. 8/23/95 95-- 830 Page- XI- 9 The need for improvements in the existing storm drainage system is to upgrade the current system, rather than to expand the system to accommodate the new development of vacant areas. As in 'lie case of park acreage, the City has established a measurable objective for the provision of storm drainage service that it will strive to attain. The long run objective is to have 40 percent of the City's storm sewer system able to accommodate a one -in -five year storm event . During the planning horizon of this comprehensive plan, achieving a goal of having 20 percent of the storm sewers with a design capacity of a one -in -five year storm event by the year 2000 has been established as a reasonable objective. Redevelopment and revitalization of existing land are not expected to significantly reduce the permeability of surface areas, and, hence, degrade the level of service provided by the existing storm sewer system. The acceptable level of service for the issuance of development orders is, therefore, set at the current level of 20 percent of the storm sewers designed for a one -in -five year storm event. Through a positive impact on the tax base, new developments within the City would facilitate the financial feasibility of upgrading the current system, while not degrading the current level of service. Public Schools and Health Care Facilities Currently, there are 42 public schools, elementary through high school, and several major medical facilities located within the City's boundaries. This represents an increase of two schools since the time of adoption. The location of these facilities are shown in Figure XI- 1 and the corresponding Tables XI-lA and XI-113. Some of the public schools that lie within the City's boundaries serve residential areas adjacent to, but outside, the City, and some schools serve City residents although the schools are actually located outside the City's boundaries. All schools in the City of Miami are served by public infrastructure facilities which are sufficient to meet the additional needs that may result from any reasonable expansions in their enrollment capacities. Hence, capital improvements are not foreseen as necessary to serve the present or anticipated future public education demands of the City. The major medical facilities that exist within the City serve a regional as well as City demand. These facilities are located in areas with access to major transportation networks, including major roadways, rapid transit and bus transit. The present capacity of public infrastructure is not deemed to represent a practical constraint to any expansion in the aggregate operation of these facilities that may be foreseen over the planning horizon. 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- XI- 10 CITY OF MIAMI PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS !

Capital Projects in Support of LOS Standards Table XI-2 is a summary listing of capital projects that support Miami's adopted level of service. This table specifically details the five year program for those projects that involve public facilities for which Miami is fiscally responsible and which support LOS standards. The public facility categories meeting this definition in Miami are: Sanitary Sewers Storm Sewers Solid Waste Collection Parks and Recreation (land acquisition only) There are seventy-four projects on the list in Table XI-2, of which nine were completed during 1989 and sixty-five are continuing. The sixty-five ongoing projects have a total estimated cost of $109,601,300, of which $45,539,400 (42%) has been appropriated, and the remaining $64,061,900 (58%) is scheduled over the period 1990-1995. In the individual public facility categories, the projects, costs, and funding are: Sanitary Sewer Projects: A total of twenty projects are shown, of which six were completed in 1989. The fourteen ongoing projects have a total cost of $30,118,000, which represents 27.5% of the total costs estimated for all projects shown ill Table XI- 2. $24,818,000 (82%) of the Sanitary Sewer Project cost is already funded; $5,300,000 (IS%) is programmed for 1990-1995. Storm Sewer Projects: Forty-four projects are listed, three of them completed in 1989 and forty-one continuing. A total cost of $65,075,600 is estimated over the five- year period, of which $13,417,000 (21%) is currently funded, and $51,658,600 (79%) is programmed for 1990-1995. The storm sewer category accounts for 59.4% of the total list of projects in Table XI-2, making it the largest single category by a substantial margin. Solid Waste Collection Projects: Six projects totaling $3,609,700 are shown, amounting to 3.3% of the total project costs on Table XI-2. $1,745,700 (48%) of the funds are available, and $1,864,000 (52%) are programmed for 1990-1995, Parks and Recreation Projects: As Miami's LOS standard for parks and recreation is land -area only, the project list is limited to the two projects that involve the acquisition of additional park land. These projects total $3,558,700, or 3.2% of the total on Table XI-2. All of the required funds are available in FY 1990, 95- 8300 8/23/95 Page- XI- 13 Mass Transit Project: The City of Miami's financial participation in extensions of the Downtown (People. -Mover) Component of Metrorail amounts to $7,239,300, of which $2,000,000 is to be spent in the current fiscal year and $5,239,300 during 1990- 1995. The total estimated cost for the pr(jcct is over $240 million, and funding -- in addition to the City of 149iami's contribution -- is from federal, state, and county funds.

The following is a reiteration of those principles. The aggregate expenditure on capital improvements undertaken each year is constrained by the availability of capital funds, many of which are earmarked for particular functional categories (e.g.. street improvements, housing and community development, etc.) and some of which must be spent in specific geographic areas (e.g.., funds from special assessment or tax increment financing districts, and Community Development Block Grant funds). These constraints play an important practical role in governing the timing and location of many capital improvement projects. The City adopts a capital budget each year, and annually revises its 5-year schedule of capital improvements, the Capital Improvement Program. In some cases economies of scale, and the reduction of unit costs of construction, play an important role in determining the scheduling of capital improvements. For example, major street and sewer improvements are often undertaken jointly to achieve greater cost efficiency. In other cases a geographic concentration of public facilities improvements may be perceived as an essential catalyst in stimulating the revitalization and redevelopment of marginal or declining areas. Consequently, the success of a neighborhood stabilization or revitalization effort may require a coordinated effort of public park, school, street and sewer improvements and landscaping, or even publicly assisted commercial development. Another very important criterion in determining the timing of capital expenditures is the replacement of equipment or facilities required to provide ongoing services, such as the replacement of trash and garbage trucks, and police and fire vehicles. Replacement .expenditures receive a high priority in the allocation of capital funds. With respect to land development activities, the provision of essential infrastructure (potable water, fire hydrant flow, sewers and roads), is a pre- or co -requisite for developments of significant scope and intensity. Development orders for major projects are reviewed during the permitting process for their impact on public infrastructure and permits are sometimes conditional on the private sector provision of public infrastructure. Public capital projects are often timed to coincide with major private development efforts, and in the future this practice will be required when maintenance of the adopted levels of service for public facilities is threatened. 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- XI- 15 Fiscal Implications Existing Capital Improvement Funding Sources The capital improvements are funded from five major revenue sources: Federal Grants: Federal grants may be used only for the purposes specified in Federal laws, such as community development. The amount of funding available from Federal grants is dictated by Federal priorities. State Grants: State grants may be used only for purposes defined by State laws, City Bonds: Two types of bonds may be used for capital improvements: (i) Revenue bonds and (ii) General Obligation Bonds. Revenue bonds are issued to finance revenue -producing facilities. The principal and interest payments on these loans are paid from the revenues of the facilities. General Obligation Bonds, which must be approved by City voters before the bonds can be issued, finance specific capital improvement programs presented to the electorate, such as pubic safety, highways or storm sewers. Capital Improvement Funds: These funds are collected from current revenues produced by miscellaneous county or city taxes, fees, or from the operation of City of Miami facilities. Private Funds: This funding source includes any private funds as well as the dedication or sale of land for City capital facilities. City bonds and capital improvement funds have been the primary funding sources for capital improvement projects. In fact during the latest cycle of the Capital Improvement Program, city bonds represented 67.7 percent and capital improvement funds 22.6 percent of overall funding. While Federal grants and state grants represented 5.6 percent and 2.0 percent respectively. Private funds also supplied 2.0 percent of total financing. In the most recent year FY 1995, capital improvement funds were the funding source for over 54 percent of capital projects, whereas. due to voter reluctance, the share of financing supplied by city bonds had dropped to 20 percent. Capital improvement fiinds are collected from a variety of sources, some of which are one time contributions, others that represent a relatively steady revenue stream. Two major sources of capital improvement funds are the Stormwater Utility Trust Fund and Impact Fees. The Stormwater Utility Trust Fund which serves as a clearing account for the collection and distribution of stormwater utility fees was established in 1988. Its objectives are to: maintain and expand the City's existing stormwate tility s : tem; § b�3 0 8/23/95 9 ,5qe- )&310 construct groundwater protection devices; and comply with the state of Florida Clean Water Act relative to storm drainage improvements. In FY 1994, this fund generated $8.9 million. Since inception, it has generated almost $33.9 million. Impact Fees in the City were established in 198S to fund capital improvements arising from the needs deriving due to development. Specifically, 'impact flees may fund capital improvements arising in public safety, storm sewers, streets, parks, solid waste collection and other general government services. In F)' 1994 impact fees generated $277,000. Since inception in 1988, this fund has generated $3.4 million. FISCAL CONDITIONS The following analysis of fiscal conditions in the City of Miami is based upon the most recent information available such as the City's Annual Budget and the Annual Financial Report. Revenues. As a governmental entity, City of Miami acquires funds from two broad revenue classes. One is termed General Funds and the other Enterprise Funds. Within these two groups there are numerous separate funds and revenue sources, over which the City Commission exercises significant oversight responsibilities. In fiscal year 1993-94, these two funding categories totaled nearly $194,6 million; about $161.4 million in the General Funds and $33.2 million in the Enterprise Funds. For reporting and accounting purposes, there are seven distinct revenue sources and one other financing source into which the various individual funds and revenues are classified. Table XI-3 shows the breakdown of these sources for the fiscal year 1993-94. The General Fund category includes those revenues which are typically associated with a local government jurisdiction. Accordingly, taxes are the largest single component at over 70.6 percent, primarily from property taxes. The second largest element is labeled Intergovernmental Revenue. This element, which is frequently significant from a capital facility prospective, accounts for 17.0 percent of the total. The other elements comprising the revenue sources, each amount to less than 3.4 percent of the total. General Funds, Licenses and Permits, Charges for Services, as well as Fines and Forfeitures are a relatively small portion of the total and are involved in pay-as-you-go capital projects only. Enterprise funds are raised by charges on users of government enterprises operated similarly to those found in the private sector. Examples in the City of Miami are such things as solid waste collection and disposal, as well as a number of individual facilities 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- XJ- 17 such as the Orange Bowl. Some of these are entirely self-supporting, some predominantly so, and some only partially. From a capital standpoint, these activities are unique in that they can acquire funds for provision of capital items by utilizing or pledging available revenues from the enterprise's operations. The magnitude of these revenues can be seen in Table XI-3 where Charges for Services makes up 100 percent of the entire Enterprise Fund category, some $33.2 million. 95- 830 8/23/95 Page- XI- 18 TABLE XI-3 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA STATEMENT OF REVENUES FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 (in thousands) General Fund Enterprise Fund Taxes $113,900 - Licenses and permits 4,702 - Intergovernmental 27,431 - Intra overnmental 2,802 - Char es for services 5,149 33,241 Assessment lien collections - - Interest 2,043 _ - Other 5,393 - Total Revenues $161,420 $33,241 In order to establish the adequacy of the financial resources for capital improvements, the historical levels and patterns of funding for these purchases must be examined. Table XI-4 displays the first -year levels of funding for each of the Six -Year Capital Improvements Programs from 1990-91 to 1994-95, plus the proportionate revenue allocation.

Again, if adjustment for the FENIA monies received were made, a steady decline in Federal support would be evident. This trend is expected to continue. As a result, the shares of funds from other sources will have to compensate for this loss. The five year average net direct general obligation bond financing per capita, over the fiscal years 1991 through 1995, was just under $475. Assessment of Debt Capacity Current Outstanding Bonds. a) General Long -Term Obligations. General long-term obligations of the City include general and special obligation bonds, installment purchase contracts and loan agreements that are payable from property tax levies and specific revenue sources. These long-term obligations, which currently bear interest at rates ranging from 3.5 percent to I i percent, represent obligations of the City as a whole and not of its individual constituent funds. A summary of debt service requirements to maturity of general obligation indebtedness is shown in Table XI-5. 95- 830 8/23/95 Page- XI- 20 TABLE KI-5 CITY OF MIA.MI, FLORIDA GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDED INDEBTEDNESS PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST REQUIREMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 Fiscal Year Ending September 30 Principal Interest Total 1995 $10,545,000 $9,062,284 $19,607,284 1996 12,805,000 _ 8,752,140 _ 21,557,140 1997 13,700,000 7,884,180 21,584,180 1998 12,910,000 7,146,513 20,056,513 1999 12,925,000 6,437,096 19,362,096 2000 11,435,000 5,707,649 17,142,649 2001 11,915,000 5,044,106 _ 16,959,106 2002 11, 920, 000 4,559,715 16,479, 715 2003 12,310,000 3,933,706 16,243,706 2004 10,465,000 3,273,836 13,738,836 2005 9,890,000 2,750,929 12,640,929 2006 8,120,000 2,176,766 10,296,766 2007 6,630,000 1,802,538 8,432,538 2008 5,645,000 1,463,229 7,108,229 2009 4,355,000 1,170,580 5,525,580 2010 4,530,000 937,750 5,467,750 2011 3,925,000 673,464 4,598,464 2012 2,385,000 480,738 2,865,738 2013 2,465,000 344,175 2,809,175 2014 2,030,000 205,481 2,235,481 2015 670,000 128,865 798,965 2016 710,000 88,330 798,330 2017 750,000 45,375 795,375 Total $173,035,000 $74,069,445 $247,104,445 Revenue Bonds and Other Debt.

Objective achievement analysis may involve the use of baseline data that existed at the time of adoption and for current conditions that are described in other sections of the EAR. The comparison of such data provides a usefiil benchmark for determining achievement of the objectives over the last six years. In other instances where objectives are more directory in nature, acknowledgment of implementation will be used to assess achievement. Each Capital Improvements Element objective is listed below and is followed by a description of the monitoring measure and an analysis of the achievement of each objective. OBJECTIVE I The Capital Improvement Element of the Comprehensive Plan will provide for the sound fiscal planning of capital facility needs and assess the financial capacity to undertake capital improvement projects. As can be seen in Table XI-21, the City was well within the established target financial ratios established in 1988. In fact, all three ratios showed improvement. The general level of indebtedness as a percentage of taxable assessed valuation decreased from 1.9 percent in 1988 to 1.7 percent in 1994. The ratio of debt service expenditures to total fund expenditures also decreased, from 14 percent in 1988 to only 10 percent in 1994. Finally, net direct general obligation debt per capita also declined from $504 in 1988 to $444. Apart from improved financial management, the difficulty of obtaining voter approval on new bond issues led to these improved figures. OBJECTIVE 2 Through the implementation section of the Capital Improvement Element of its Comprehensive Plan, the city will ensure that future land development regulations and policies, and previously issued land development orders are consistent with the city's ability to provide the capital facilities required to maintain adopted LOS standards and those needed to maintain or enhance the quality of life within the city. 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- XI- 24 As can be seen in Table XI-21, except for the LOS target for storm sewers, the City has improved its surplus position in the LOS targets. Specifically, in regard to the park acreage standard of 1.3 acres per thousand population, the City moved from a 15 acre surplus in 1988 to a 35 acne surplus in 1995. Similarly in regard the potable water transmission standard of 224 gallons per person per day, the City moved from a surplus over 6.4 million gallons in 1988 to a larger surplus of over 9.8 million gallons in 1995. The same story held for the sanitary seN ver transmission standard of 185 gallons per person per day, as the City increased its surplus from 6.3 million gallons in 1988 to 9.2 million gallons in 1995. In the case of solid waste collection, tl►e standard of 1.28 tons per person per year was exceeded in 1998 by 14,559 tons and this rose to a 25,871 ton surplus in 1995. The primary reason for these improvements was a population adjustment based on the 1990 Census. Storm sewers were the only LOS standard that the City did not meet or exceed. Tile standard of a 20 percent coverage in 1-in-5 storm event by the year 2000 required an expenditure of just under $64 million in 1989 dollars. To date over 15 projects have been fully completed and two partially completed at a cost of $17.8 million. This represented completed of 27.8 percent of the objective. Projecting this rate of progress to the year 2000, the City will have completed 51 percent of the objective. Two factors have held back the rate of progress towards meeting this objective. First, voter disinclination to approve general obligation bonds. In fact, two bond issues went down to defeat in the past five years. This severely limited available funding, as the only other major source of funding is the Stormwater Utility Trust Fund. As this funding source is also used for storm sewer maintenance, insufficient resources were available for new projects. The second factor, although not as critical, was the loss of engineering staff in the area of design and supervision. OBJECTIVE 3 Ensure that future development and redevelopment pay an equitable, proportional share of the cost of public facilities required to maintain adopted LOS standards. In 1988, subsequent to the time of adoption, the City established general impact fees. Specifically in regard to LOS standards, impact fees were developed for parks and recreation, storm sewers, and solid waste. All fees were carefully established so that future development would pay an equitable, proportional share of the costs that development would impose on these standards. Since impact fees were adopted in 1998, they have yielded $3,373,042. As impact fees were no in existence at the time of adoption, this objective has no measurable target. 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- XI- 25 OBJE4CTIVE 4 Ensure that public capital expenditure within the coastal zone does not encourage private development that is subject to significant risk of storm damage. As the City of Miami's high hazard coastal zone was built out at the time of adoption and has remained so subsequently, this objective has no measurable target.

The Rule identifies fifteen specific items (Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 4.a.-o., F.A.C.) to be addressed as part of the evaluation of each element. Not all of the items listed, however, are relevant to individual plan elements. Therefore, only those items which would affect a particular element are addressed. With respect to the Capital Improvements Element, two of the fifteen items are relevant. These items are listed as follows: THE ACTUAL VS. PROJECTED REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES REGARDING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. The Planning Department's projections of the City's revenues and expenditures in the Capital Improvements Element used data from two basic sources: the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, and the City's Proposed Capital Budget and Multi -Year Capital Plan. In 1988, the year in which the preparation of the earlier CIE took place, projections of total revenues and other funding sources were made through the fiscal year 1999-2000. At that time, total revenues for the most recent comparable fiscal year (1993-94), for which actual data is available, were projected to be $293.0 million. The latest City of Miami financial report shows that actual revenues generated during the same fiscal year were only $ 211.1 million. This shortfall is due in large measure to slower than expectf-,d growth in net taxable base and, to a lesser degree, to the volatility of the historical data on which the earlier projections were based. 8/23/95 !95- 830 Page- XI- 27 It should be emphasized that because of the uncertainty that characterizes the revenues and expenditures trends, little importance should be attached to the short run successes or failures of the original projections in the CIE. THE GENERATION AND STATUS OF NEW REVENUE SOURCES Bond Issue. As of fiscal year 1993-94, the City has authorized general and special obligation bonds, as well as a variety of revenue bonds in the amount of $170.4 million. The bonds provide funding for capital improvements to various facilities and projects. Capital Improvement Local Option Gas Tax. The County is authorized to impose a five -cent Local Option Gas Tax (LOG) per gallon on motor fuel sales and has done so. The revenues generated by this tax are used to fund transportation expenditures needed to meet the requirements of the capital improvements element of the adopted Comprehensive Development Master Plan. Proceeds for this tax are to be shared between the City and the cities, on the basis of a state formula. Based on the most recent percentage distribution, the tax proceeds distributed to the City were $3.2 million in fiscal 1994. Due to voter reaction, the future of this funding source remains uncertain. Impact Fees. Since the CIE was adopted the City has imposed impact fees for roads, fire/rescue facilities, police facilities, storm sewers, solid waste, general service administration, and local park land. Only storm sewers, solid waste, and park land are included in the CI.E. In FY 1993/94 a total of $2 77,145 in impact fees is available for investment. Stormwater Utility. A Stormwater Utility Service District was formed in FY 1988/89 in order to fund drainage projects and retrofit stormwater collection facilities. Preliminary estimates of the utility service area's long term need for stormwater improvements and retrofits approximate $250 million. In FY 1993/94 a total of $8,854,000 in stormwater utility was collected. In summary, the preceding analysis has provided an assessment of Miami's present and past funding programs and policies. That background has been filled in with a report of specific capital needs of the near and foreseeable future. The struggle to meet past requirements may seem almost trivial as the City faces new and far more financially restricted capital challenges. Specifically, programmed capital projects have been shown to exceed the current ability to pay. The capital requirements are, mainly, priority needs that must be met with a rational program and sufficient funding. Such a program is proposed in this Element, but solutions to the funding problem will persist as the major challenge to that program. 95- 839 8/23/95 NEW ISSUES AND UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES Subsection 9J-S.0053 (6) (a) 5., F.A.C. requires the EAR to identify, describe and evaluate how new issues, problems and opportunities have affected the plan elements since adoption. Described below are all issues, problems, and opportunities that have impacted the Element since 1988, including, where relevant, data and analysis. In some instances, data and analysis pertinent to new issues, problems or opportunities may be referenced from other sections of this element evaluation. Needed actions or proposals addressing issues, and problems or opportunities are identified. With respect to the Capital Improvements Element the unanticipated problem is the almost total rejection by the voters of any bond initiative. It is virtually impossible to pass any bond issue in today's political atmosphere. The availability of operating funds has been an issue for a long while but it was believed that a carefully crafted and well promoted bond issue would be accepted. Moreover real budgetary_ reductions seem to be the order of the day which will further impede the construction of new capital projects and almost certainly will negatively impact maintenance budgets. EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 Subsection 9J-5.0053 (6) (a) 6., F.A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in:l) Section 187.02, F.S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP), 2) the appropriate strategic regional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, Part 1I, F.S. (Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-S, F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria For Reviekv of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the City of Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Master Plan by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy plans" (SRPP). These plans, in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this report for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above referenced statutory and rule changes, this element will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN There is only one section of the State Comprehensive Plan which has correspondence with the Capital Improvements Element and that is Section 187.201 (IS), F.S., Public Facilities. The goal for the section advocates maintaining existing investments in public facilities and providing new ones when required in on efficient manner. The goal statement in the CIE mirrors this State Plan goal. Likewise, the policies of the CIE are totally consistent with the Public Facilities policy statements in the State Comprehensive Plan. There have been no amendments to the State Plan during the evaluation and appraisal period. 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- XI- 30 1 CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART U, F.S. There were no changes to Chapter 163 pertaining to the Capital Improvements Element since 1988. CONSISTENCY WITH STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN OF SOUTH FLORIDA The Regional Plan of South Florida has policies related to public facilities. They are included under a section which combines land use and public facilities. Strategic Regional Goal 2.1 sets forth what is to be achieved with regard to land use and development patterns including guiding development, "where public facilities already exist, are programmed or, on an aggregate basis, can be provided most economically." The Goal and Objective 3 of the Capital Improvements Element are clearly consistent with this statement. Most policies directed at public facilities provision fall under Strategic Regional Goal 2.3. This goal calls for adequate public facilities which meet the needs of growth in a cost effective and equitable manner. These principles are embodied in the CIE as well. With respect to the policies, as might be expected, many are oriented toward the relationship between land use and public facilities timing and location. However, there are several polices which are more specific to capital facilities programming, financing and construction. Of the thirteen policies identified in this category most can also be found in the CIE, often with very similar wording. Some others are implicit in the more broadly worded CIE policies. However, there are four policies where there is only loose consistency, or none, between the Regional Plan and the CIE. Two of these deal with regional facilities and that emphasis is understandable. Another explicitly advocates that funding mechanisms for public facilities utilize the benefit principle of cost allocation. The CIE does not speak to this issue and it is not contemplated that it will. Not all public facilities should be paid for based on the direct benefit principle. Finally, there is a policy that suggests that user fees should be used to discourage excessive use of public facilities, thus effectively adding to capacity; e,g. roads with peak hour tolls applied. This policy has merit and perhaps should be added to the CIE. CONSISTENCY WITH RULE 9J-5, FAC Since adoption of the CIE in 1988 there have been no changes to Chapter 9J-5, with respect to the CIE requirements hence consistency has been maintained. CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS This section of the element evaluation presents a summary of general conclusions and identifies needed actions and/or proposed plan amendments to address or implement identified changes as discussed in other sections of this report. Proposed revisions may include the identification of new and revised goals, objectives and policies, revised fiiture condition maps, capital improvement schedules and monitoring and evaluation procedures. While actual proposed amendment language is not included, the general nature or types of changes are clearly described. All proposed revisions presented here have been carefully linked to the evaluation of current conditions within the City, objective achievement, issues, problems, opportunities and other sections of this element report. CONCLUSIONS Prior to the 1985 growth management legislation there was no requirement for a capital improvements elements and consequently few plans incorporated much information and analysis of capital programming, including the City's plan. The 1985 legislation along with requiring a CIE in the Comprehensive Plan mandated that local jurisdictions adopt a capital budget. So these things are relatively new, only being in place about seven years. It is with this background in mind that conclusions about the efficacy of the CIE must be drawn. For the most part, the CIE served the purpose for which it was intended. It focused the attention of the local government on the relationship between growth and the implications for capital investment requirements. In Miami, the level of technical quality of the participating department's capital programs and the Cityy's six -year capital plan went up considerably. Capital budgeting is a matter taken very seriously at this time. The advent of the CIE was not the sole cause of this but certainly contributed to it in a positive way. As recent assessments have concluded, the more ambitious goal of correcting service deficiencies and providing new capacity more or less coincident with growth has not been achieved. But the fault is not due to shortcomings in the CIEs themselves, including this one. Judged from the more narrow perspective of its role in the growth management process in Miami the CIE gets a passing grade. The technical quality of the document is rather high. The support material is extensive and conveys much information. 8/23/95 95- 830 Page- X1- 33 As set forth in the objectives achievement section, for the most part all objectives were achieved. PROPOSED REVISIOI''rrS One improvement on the fiscal accounting side would be to breakout revenue and expense , accounts for CIE related projects and funds. Impact fees serve as a useful example. Some of the impact fees collected relate directly to the LOS standards, others to general services. However, sub -accounts for stormwater sewers, solid waste, and sanitary sewers are not separately maintained. On the project side, again, there is no coding to indicate that a particular project is related to the satisfaction of LOS standards. 95- 830 8/23/95 Page- XI- 34 i PROPOSED 1995 EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT FOR THE SOLID WASTE COLLECTION ELEMENT OF THE MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN 1989-2000 EAR VOL.

SOLID WASTE COLLECTION ELEMENT SUMMARY ]Existing Trends and Conditions Between 1988 and 1995 solid waste collection in the City of Miami experienced a series of changes including an increase involvement of private firms in the solid waste disposal facilities leading to a decline in the City's disposal costs, reduction in the size of the City's collection fleet, implementation of curb side pick-up, and increased participation in recycling. Recent trends show that a significant portion of the waste stream goes to Broward County facilities. Achievement of Objectives The City of Miami did well in accomplishing the following objectives of the Solid Waste Subelement during the 1988-1995 evaluation period: 1. Provided solid waste collection services to City residents in a manner that ensures public health and safety, and a clean urban environment. 2. Solid Waste collection was done in a manner that reduces the quantity of litter, trash and abandoned personal property in City streets. 1 3. The City encourages the recyling and reduced the volumes of waste material set aside for collection. Current Issues Among the key current issues in the Solid Waste Subelement EAR are the following: • need to continue an effective recycling program. • The need to address the disposal of household hazardous wastes. • The need to develop and adopt a Solid Waste Management Plan. 95-- 830) 8/30/95 Page-XII-2 Recommendations The key recommendations of the Solid Waste Subelement EAR are: Modify objectives to address the existing City recycling program. To include objectives and policies in illegal dumping and hazardous waste disposal. The methodology for calculating solid waste generation should be reviewed and updated as necessary. To modify objectives because the City no longer provide collection services to multi- family residences and businesses. Need to develop and adopt a Solid Waste Management Plan. 95- 830 8/30/95 Page-XII-3 1 t i M INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) is to evaluate and assess the effectiveness of the locally adopted comprehensive plan in accomplishing its adopted objectives, in addressing changes in local conditions. in addressing new requirements of State planning law, and in identifying changes need to update the element. This element evaluation has been prepared in substantial keeping with the EAR minimum criteria prescribed by Subsection 93-5.0053(6), F.A.C. In order to ensure that all EAR content requirements have been sufficiently addressed, the City of Miami Solid Waste Subelernent is organized into the following sections: Condition of EIement at Date of Adoption; Condition of Element at Date of the Report; Achievements of Objectives. Major Problems of Development, Physical Deterioration, Location of Land Uses, and Economic and Social effects of identified problems; New Issues and Unanticipated and Unforeseen Problems and Opportunities; Effects of Statutory and Rule Changes since 1988; Conclusion and Proposed Amendments. The purpose of each Section is described in its opening paragraph. CONDITION OF SOLID WANE ELEMENT AT DATE OF ADOPTION The purpose of this section of the EAR, as identified in Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(a) 1., F.A.C., is to provide a summary of data and analysis describing baseline conditions of the Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) at time of its adoption in 1988. The conditions inventoried and analyzed in this element were based on the most recent available data at that time. This summary will address the pertinent Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., data and analysis requirements for the Solid Waste SubElement. Summary of the Solid Waste Data and Analysis from the 1988 Adopted Plan. 1. Proportional Capacity The City of Miami, along with other municipalities within the County, transports its solid waste to County -operated transfer stations for disposal at County -operated transfer stations and landfills. The capacities at County transfer stations and landfills, moreover, are not allocated to municipalities or other geographic, governmental or private sector entities per se, but rather, the transfer stations and landfills operates so as to service regional demands as a whole. Annually, there are approximately 232,000 tons of garbage and trash 118,000 tons of garbage and 114,000 tons of trash) collected in the City of Miami by the Department of Solid Waste. Based on estimates of per capita generation of solid waste at the County level, the residences and businesses within the City generate approximately 475,000 tons of trash and garbage per year in 1987. This amount represents 21 percent of a total 2,300,000 tons of trash and garbage collected in Dade County in that year. 2. Public and Private Facilities A. Solid Waste Collection Sanitation services currently provided by the City of Miami to low and moderate density residential areas consist of garbage collection, trash collection, lot and street clearing, removal of abandoned property, and sidewalk cleaning. Private solid waste collection companies provide services to hotels, commercial, industrial establishments and many multifamily residential structures within the City of Miami; collecting approximately 95- 830 8/30/95 Page-XII-5 50% of the total solid waste generated. These companies as well as various cities and the Dade County Solid Waste Collection Department use the existing transfer stations to deposit waste for final disposal at County -operated sites. 3. Operating Entity, Service Area, Design Capacity, Current Demand, Existing Level of Service A. Solid Waste Collection The City of Miami Department of Solid Waste has the responsibility for the collection of solid waste within the City limits. The Dade County Department of Public Works, Solid Waste Disposal division has the responsibility of the disposal of solid waste collected throughout the County. In 1987, the City utilizes approximately 77 garbage trucks, 63 trash trucks, 23 cranes, 10 mechanical street sweepers, 1 street flusher and 1 pressure cleaner in providing solid waste services. Trash is collected once per week and garbage is collected twice per week from the backyard. For schedule and routes of garbage and trash pickup see Figures 1 and 2. The trash and garbage collected within the City are then transported to three transfer stations, but most of the City's solid waste is taken to the Central Transfer station. The City of Miami charges property owners a fee for waste collection and the County charges the City a fee for waste disposed at each transfer station. B. Solid Waste Disposal The Solid Waste disposal system consists of three regional automated transfer stations, and three major disposal sites, which include a Resources Recovery facility. Trash and garbage from the City of Miami are hauled to, and gathered together at three stations. The Central Transfer Station is the only station within the City of Miami, located at 1150 N.W. 20th Street, and this station receives trash and garbage from the City of Miami, City of Miami Beach and surrounding incorporated and unincorporated areas. The West Transfer Station, located at 2900 S.W. 72nd Avenue, receives garbage from the City of Miami, Coral Gables, South Miami, West Miami, Sweetwater and Unincorporated Dade County, and other trash and garbage from areas surrounding, its location. The Northeast Transfer Station, located at 18701 N.E. 6th Avenue, receives trash and garbage from the City of Miami, North Miami, North Miami Beach and other surrounding areas. From these stations, trash and garbage are sent to three disposal facilities: the North Dade Landfill Facility, located at 21490 N.W. 47th Avenue and 215th Street; the South Dade Solid Waste Disposal Facility, located at 24001 S.W. 97th Avenue; and the Resources Recovery Facility located at 6990 N.W. 97th Avenue. The transfer stations experience tremendous variation in demand both through the day and the week. 8/30/95 95- 830 Page-XII-6 C. Facilities Capacity and Deficiency Presently, the three transfer stations serving the City are operating below their maximum design capacity. There are no deficiencies at the present time or are they foreseen for the near future. D. The Level Of Service Standard (LOS) Currently used by Dade County is approximately 7 pounds per person per day. Since the City generates approximately one -fifth of the solid waste generated in the County, one may estimate that solid waste from the City also accounts for one -fifth of the additional amount of waste processed at the County's landfills, including the resources recovery facility. Since the City's population has been. and is expected to continue, growing at a slower pace than the population gromh rate experienced in Dade County, solid waste generated within the City will represent a smaller share of the total volume of waste being processed at County disposal facilities in the future. E. Hazardous Waste Management Assessment The City of Miami Fire and Police Departments have the responsibility of monitoring hazardous waste reporting in the City of Miami. Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) has the responsibility of monitoring hazardous waste reporting for the remainder of the County 4. Existing and Projected Needs The City of Miami needs to continue to provide solid waste collection services to City residents and businesses in a manner that ensure public health and safety, and a clean urban environment. the City of Miami needs to maintain its existing fleet of collection equipment and to maintain existing routes. For projected needs see table #1. t i Table 1 Solid Waste Generation Year City Population Garbage (tons/year) Trash (tons/Fear) Total Solid Wastc Total Solid Waste Collected by City: Garbage Trash Total 1988 381,978 246.429 241,549 487,977 127,157 120,774 247.932 1989 382,489 246,755 241,874 488.630 127.327 120,936 248,263 1990 383.000 247,088 242,195 489,283 127.497 121.097 248,595 1991 384,400 247,991 243.080 491,071 127,963 121.540 249,503 1992 38M,00 248,894 241.965 492,860 128,429 121,983 250,412 1993 387,200 249,797 244.851 494,648 128.895 122,425 251.321 1994 388,600 -50.700 245,736 496,437 129,361 122,869 252,229 1995 390,000 v 251.604 246,621 498,225 129,927 123,311 253,138 1996 392,000 252,894 247,986 500,780 130,493 123,943 254.436 1997 394,000 2'54.184 249,151 503,335 131,159 124,575 255,734 1999 396,000 255.474 250.416 505,890 131,825 125,208 _ 257,033 1999 398,000 256,765 251,680 508,445 132,491 125,840 258,331 2000 400,000 2>8,055 252,945 511,000 133,156 126,473 259,629 Methodology: Garbage Generated = Population X 3.535 lbs./person/day X 365 days/year/2000 lbs./ton Trash Generated = Population X 3.465 lbs./person/day X 365 days/year/2000 lbs./ton Garbage Collected = 0.50 X Trash Generated Reduction in Demand on Landfill due to recycling , resource recovery and other = 0.456 X Total Solid Waste Generated and based on Metro Dade County estimates of volume reductions Source: City of Miami, 1988 Adopted Plan 35- 830 8/30/95 Page -XI I-8 FIGURE # 1 MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN 216 one mile CITY OF MIAMI PLANNING DEPARTMENT PREPARATION OF THIS MAP WAS AIDED THROUGH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA UNDER THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AUTHORIZED BY CHAPTER BB-167IAWS OF FLORIDA AND ADMINISTFRFD RV nIF FLnnInA DFnAnTrAFNT nr rnr+rplNlTv AFFAIna FIGURE # 2 MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN 830 one mile CITY OF MIAMI PLANNING DEPARTMENT' REPARATION OF THIS MAP YlAS AIDED TfiROUGH FI11ANCtAl, ASS7S7ANCE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA UNDER THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING •45SiS TA NCE PROGq A1A AUTNORIlED 9V CN AFTER 96 -th 7.LAWS OF FLCIRIDA AND ADMINISTEFIFD BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMIAIINITV AFFAIRS CONDITION OF SOLID WASTE ELEMENT AT DATE OF REPORT Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(a)2., F.A.C.., requires that each element describe, in a summary format, current conditions utilizing the most recent data available. The EAR must describe these updated current conditions to sufficiently address the element specific rule requirements of Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. In most elements this section will present a description of element conditions between 1988 and 1994, or use the latest date for which information is available. In this way a convenient comparison of changed conditions is presented in order to provide the basis for identifying significant trends and new developments. Summary Description of current Solid Waste Data and Analysis In 1988 the City of Miami disposed it solid waste at County facilities, however, since 1994 the City began to dispose its solid waste in privately owned and operated Broward County disposal facilities and at privately owned and operated Dade County disposal facility, and one Dade County transfer facility The primary determinant of waste generation is population. The population in the City of Miami has not grown as fast as expected. The 1995 population projected at the time of the adoption was estimated at 390,000 compared to 366,665 at the time of the EAR. In 1988 the City of Miami did not have a recycling program which the City of Miami does have in 1995; 1. Proportional Capacity The City of Miami is disposing its solid waste at several privately owned disposal facilities in Dade and Broward Counties and at one Dade County operated transfer station. The capacities at County transfer stations and landfills are not specifically allocated to municipalities, other geographic, governmental or private sector entities. The county transfer stations and landfills operate so as to service county demands. 2. Public and Private Facilities A. Solid Waste Collection Sanitation services currently provided by the City of Miami to low and moderate density residential areas (1-4 units) consists of garbage collection, trash collection, recyclable material collection, lot and street clearing , removal of abandoned property, public right i of way (street) cleaning and sidewalk clearing. Private solid waste collection companies provide services to multi -family residences and businesses since 1994; collecting approximately 50% of the total solid waste generated. In 1993 the City collected all single fainilies and duplexes and approximately 2,000 three and a four unit residential living structures. Private haulers provided services to all commercial and some 3 &4 unit residences. i 3. Operating entity, Service area, Design Capacity, Current Demand, Existing Level of Service. A. Solid Waste Collection & Disposal The City of Miami Department of Solid Waste has the responsibility for the collection of solid waste within the City limits and dispose them at Dade and Broward Counties as well as at private sector disposal sites. In 1995 the City of Miami, utilizes approximately 11 recycling trucks, 40 garbage and 40 trash trucks, 18 cranes, 5 mechanical street sweepers, 1 roll -off tracks (for bulky sites) !-street flushes and 1 pressure cleaner. The reduction of the City fleet since 1989 is the result of the elimination of commercial and multi -family residential pick-up, the City recycling program, curbside pick-up (compared to backyard pickup in 1988). Trash is collected once per week, garbage is picked up twice per week, recyclable materials are picked up once per week and bulky items (special) are picked up 4 times per year. Trash and garbage collected within the City are then transported by the City, and in the case of commercial accounts, by a private hauler to Broward county facilities. B. Tacilities Capacity Presently the City's collection equipment, the transfer station, and the landfield serving the City have sufficient capacity. There are no deficiencies at the present time or are they foreseen for the near future. C. Current demand and existing level of service. Annually, the City of Miami collects from single, duplex, triplex and quadraplex residences, approximately 170,000 tons of solid waste; estimates are that 8,500 tons are recyclable material; 25,000 tons represent yard and garden waste; 108,000 is garbage and the balance 28,500 is estimated to be miscellaneous trash, including appliances, which are recyclable, furniture, cardboard, paper, etc. Estimates of County per capita generation of solid waste indicate that residences and businesses within the City generate approximately 497,000 tons of solid waste in 1994. It should be noted, however, that the City eliminated solid waste service to commercial and multifamily, i.e. more than four units, and haulers permitted to conduct business in the City. 4. Existing needs The City of Miami needs to maintain its existing facilities and fleet in good working condition in order to provide efficient and effective solid waste collection services to city residents. The specific equipment needs are specified in the Capital Improvement Element. There is an need to address th problem of illegal dumping. Some of the illegal dumping seems to come from outside City limits.

Total Solid Waste Generation The projections of total waste generation prepared in 1988 for the plan were based on estimate per capita generation of 7 pounds per person per day. This estimate was derived from the actuai waste disposal at county wide level - FY 1986-87. However, waste generation reported per capita has increased Countywide since 1988. In FY 1999-89 the reported waste generation rate was 8.0 pounds per person, per day, a figure that increased to 9.0 pounds FY 1989-90 and 9.4 pounds in FY I990-91 for Dade County. In 1993 the Dade County Solid Waste Management prepared its draft Solid Waste Master Plan (SWMP). That plan estimated total waste generation based on a projected per capita waste generation of 9.36 pounds per day. By FY 1994-95 the Dade County revised its estimate upward to 9.9 pounds per day. Methodology for calculating th City Waste generation should be reviewed and updated as necessary.

ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES This section of the EAR evaluates the progress in achieving all of the adopted City of Miami Comprehensive Plan (CMCP). Solid Waste Sub Element objectives as of the date of this report. Objective achievement analysis may involve the use of measurable target baseline conditions that existed at the date of adoption and for current conditions that are described in previous sections of this EAR. The comparison of such data provides a useful benchmark for determining achievement of the objectives over the last seven years. In other instances where of jectivcs arc more directory in nature, acknowledgment of implementation will be used to assess achievement. Suggestions are included, where appropriate, for the need to revise objectives in order to make them more specific and measurable. 95- 830 Page-XII-14 Table XII Page I Evaluation of Plan Objectives Solid Waste Collection Element OBJECTIVE MEASURABLE BASELINE CURRENT OBJECTIVE TARGET CONDITIONS AT CONDITION ACHIEVED DATE OF PLAN ADOPTION SW- 1.1: The City To continue to col- Amount of trash and Amount of trash and Yes, but need to will continue to lect the solid waste garbage collected garbage collected is modify the objective provide solid waste I that is available and 118,000 tons of gar- 108,000 tons of gar- because the city no collection services to leave a clean urban bage 114,000 tons of bage, 62,000 tons of longer collects solid City residents and !

MAJOR PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT, PHYSICAL DETERIORATION, LOCATION OF LAND USES, AND THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS. This section of the EAR examines major problems of development, physical deterioration, and the location of land uses as related to the community's solid waste and the social, and economic effects of these problems as required by subsection 9J- 5.0053(6)(a)4,F.A.C. a. Major Problem of Development The City of Miami is the central city of Dade County and most of the land is already developed. Most of the development within the neighborhoods is in fill development. The population growth is not as high as estimated. The 1988 plan estimated a 1995 population of 390,000 and a 2000 population of 400,000 compared to the EAR estimates of 366,665 for 1995 and 374,982 for the year 2000. The City of Miami has successfully maintained the adopted LOS since the date of adoption. The major development since 1988 has occurred in Downtown Miami which is mostly commercial or high density residential and is serviced by private bankers. b. Physical Deterioration of Public Facilities Most of the solid waste collection facilities and equipment in the City of Miami were built or replaced recently. Most of these facilities has intensive use, therefore physical deterioration occurs, however, the City of Miami has a Capital Improvements Program in place and allocates funds to upgrade these facilities. Since 1990 the City allocated $4.02 million dollars in capital funds for these improvements. However, Hurricane Andrew produced a unanticipated need for the replacement and repair of solid waste collection facilities and equipment. c. Location of Land Uses The City of Miami is already developed, future development is expected to occur in a infill bases and in Downtown Miami. The rate of development occurred since the 95- 830 8/30/95 Page-XII-15 j adoption of the plan is less than anticipated. Single family, duplex and apartment buildings (less than 4 units) are located in the neighborhoods surrounding from downtown Miami. d. Social and Economic Effects of Identified Problems According to this evaluation, there have been no significant social/and/or economic effects of the problems previously identified in this section. This item is therefore not applicable. 8/30/95 NEW ISSUES UNANTICIPATED AND UNFORESEEN PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES Subsection 9,1-5.0053(6)(a) 5., F.A.C. requires the EAR to identify, describe and evaluate how problems and opportunities have affected the plan elements since adoption. Described below are issues, problems, and opportunities that have impacted the Element since 1988, Including, where relevant, data and analysis. In some instances, data and analysis pertinent to new issues, problems or opportunities may be referenced from other sections of this element evaluation. Needed actions or proposals addressing issues, and problems or opportunities are identified. The City of Miami experienced a series of unanticipated and unforeseen problems and opportunities since the adoption of the plan in 1988 including Hurricane Andrew, curb- side pick-up, disposal of most of Solid Waste at Broward County facilities and recycling. Hurricane Andrew The hurricane which struck South and Central Dade County on the morning of August 24, 1992, generated massive amounts of waste. Little of this waste was disposed in Dade County facilities, with the bulk of this material exported out of county or sent to the Medley landfill. The amount of waste was substantial: by mid-1993, only 1.15 million tons of capacity remained in the Medley's new 1992 cell, which opened only a few months before the hurricane with a capacity of 3.8 million tors. The Waste Management firm anticipates the development of a new Type I cell at the present site. Several ad hoc landfills in South Dade were approved by the County only for the disposal of clean demolition and construction debris related to hurricane damage and reconstruction; all were inactive within a year after the storm. Curb -side, multi family residential and commercial pick-up In 1988 the City of Miami Department of Solid Waste pick up all the residential and most of the commercial solid waste in the City. Since 1994 the City began curbside collection of trash and garbage compare to backyard collection in 1988. Curb -side collection made the City service more efficient. Also, since 1991, the private haulers began to collect garbage from multifamily residential structures and the remainder of commercial structures in the City of Miami which reduced the amount of solid waste disposed in County facilities. Due to increased 95- 830 8/30/95 Page-XII-17 �- °A.� efficiency combined with collection by private haulers and the recycling program, the City collection fleet has decreased in size. Solid Waste Disposal In 1988, the City disposed all the trash and garbage (T & G) in County owned facilities. Due to higher tipping fees, the City began to dispose most of its T & G in Broward County facilities (except for bulky trash which is disposed at the Central Transfer station). Development of the City Recycling Program In early 1988, the Florida Legislature approved the Solid Waste Management Act of 1988. The Act required each county to initiate a recycling program after July 1, 1988 to reduce the amount of solid waste prior to final disposal by 30 percent by the end of 1994. Specific measures to achieve this reduction include the removal of the following items from solid waste stream prior to final disposal: construction and demolition debris; a majority of the newspaper, aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles; other plastics, metal, and paper; and yard trash and other items which can be composted. In determining whether the 30 percent reduction goal has been achieved, no more than one-half of the goal may be met with yard trash, white goods, construction and demolition debris, and tires. In early 1992, Chapter 15 of the Dade County Code was amended to conform to the requirements of the State legislation. Beginning July, 1992, multiple family residential establishments were required to provide programs for the recycling of (1) newspaper; (2) glass separated by color.; (3) aluminum cans; (4) steel cans, and (5) plastics separated by three types. Commercial establishments are required to provide programs for the recycling of: (1) high-grade office paper; (2) mixed paper; (3) corrugated cardboard; (4) glass separated by color; (5) aluminum scrap and cans; (6) steel scrap and cans; (7) other metals/scrap production materials; (8) plastics separated by three types; (9) textiles, and (10) wood. The recycling programs allowed multifamily residential establishments and commercial establishments are to be serviced by either a permitted hauler or by an appropriate agency of government, provided that the recycling mandates were met. In 1992 the City opened the trash management facility at Virginia Key to allow yard and garden waste. This 11.5 acres - 25,000 tons/year (month) facility transform these materials into mulch, composts and wood chips. 95-- 830 8/30/95 Page-XII-18 EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 SOLID WASTE Subsection 9J-5.0053(6)(a)6., F.A.C., requires the EAR to assess the consistency of the adopted comprehensive plan with changes to state growth management policies as expressed in: 1) Section 187.02, F,S., the State Comprehensive Plan (SCP); 2) the appropriate strategic regional policy plan; 3) Chapter 163, part II, F,S. (Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act); and 4) Chapter 9J-5. F.A.C. (Minimum Criteria For Review of Local Comprehensive Plans). Only changes that have occurred since 1988 will be evaluated. Any changes prior to 1988 were already considered and addressed, as appropriate, in each element of the City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (CIv1CNP) by its date of adoption. It should be noted that Section 32, Chapter 93-206, F.S. requires regional planning councils to adopt "strategic regional policy platys" (SRPP). These plans, in effect, replace the existing regional policy plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) is scheduled to adopt the SRPP by August, 1995. The SFRPC February 1995 draft SRPP was evaluated in this re port for plan consistency. Should the South Florida SRPP be further modified prior to its final adoption in August, 1995 and this report has not evaluated such modifications, and if such modifications cause a comprehensive plan inconsistency, then changes to the plan will be proposed through the plan amendment process subsequent to the EAR adoption process. Based on the assessment of the above referenced statutory and rule changes, this element will recommend needed plan revisions, if necessary. CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The State Comprehensive Plan (SCP) is contained in Chapter 187, Florida Statutes. Section 187.20](13), F.S. (Hazardous and Non -hazardous materials and Waste), contains the goal and policies relevant to the disposal of solid waste in the Solid Waste Sub Element. In 1988, Section 187.201(13)(b) under Policies was amended to revise three policies -- (13)(b)l, 2. and 3. Policy (13)(b) 1. called for local governments to reduce the volume of non -hazardous solid waste disposed of in landfills to 55 percent of the 1985 volume by 1995. The revised Policy (13(b) 1. requires by 1994 a reduction of all volume of solid waste requiring disposal by 30 percent. 85-- 830 8/30/95 Page-XII-19 r The current adopted objectives of the Solid Waste Sub Element of the MCNP do not specifically address the 30 percent waste reduction target of' SCP policy (13)(b) 1. and therefore is not consistent with this revised policy. However, the Element does contain objectives relating to recycling (Solid Waste element) and disposal alternatives for yard waste (Solid Waste Element). In order to maintain consistency with SCP(13)(b) 1., a change is proposed to add a solid waste subelement objective addressing the 30 percent waste reduction target. This change is proposed in a later section of the report. New SCP (13)(b) Policy 2 requires by 1994, the provision in all counties a countywide solid waste system to discourage littering and illegal dumping of solid waste. The current adopted Solid Waste Element of the MCNP references countywide solid waste disposal facilities and services as required by Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., and Rule 9J-5.01 1, F.A.C. In order to maintain consistency with SCP (13)(b) 2 a change is proposed to address this policy. This change is proposed in a later section of the report. New SCP(13)(b) Policy 3 calls for the initiation of programs to develop or expand recyclable material, markets, especially those incorporating plastics, metals and glass. The adopted Solid Waste Element is currently consistent with SCP(13)(b) 3., and therefore requires no change. Solid Waste Element objective 1-4, the City seeks to achieve a balanced program of solid waste disposal which includes recycling. A change is proposed to add a public education program on recycling out the solid waste management plan. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, ELOR1DA STATUTES Section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S., relating to the Solid Waste Element has not been amended since the MCNP was adopted in 1988, and therefore the Solid Waste Sub Element remains consistent with these provisions. In 1993, a new Section 163.3180, F.S. was added, relating to concurrence for roads, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks and recreation, and mass transit. Specifically, Section 163.3180(2)(a) requires that sanitary sewer, solid waste and potable water facilities shall be in place and available to serve new development no later than the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or its functional equivalent. Solid Waste Element, is consistent with this provision. 8/30/95 95- 830 Page -XI I-20 CONSISTENCY WITH SECTION 9J-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. In 1994, a new Subsection 9.1-0055(3)(A), F.A.C. was added. The new section implemented the changes to Section 163.3180(2)(a), F.S. that are detailed above. As is the case for the changes to the statutes, the City of Miami CNP is in conformity with this change to the administrative code. CONSISTENCY WITH THE STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN FOR SOUTH FLORIDA The Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) for South Florida was released in draft form by the South Florida Regional Planning Council in February, 1995. Because this is the first edition of the SRPP, all goals and policies are new. Only those goals and policies relevant to solid waste collection and disposal are listed in this report. Strategic Regional Policy 2.1.5. The policy encourages local governments to direct development to areas served by existing infrastructure and to areas suitable for development. The Solid Waste Sub Element is consistent with this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 2.1.8. This policy encourages the development of a regional forum to address service provision and facility needs, as well to enable the intergovernmental review of regionally significant public facilities which involve locally unwanted land uses. This Strategic Regional Policy is addressed in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report for the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the City of Miami CNP. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.2 This policy promotes the availability of consistent information on existing or planned facilities and services provided by the City. Information concerning solid waste disposal operations by the City is readily available from a number of sources. The Solid Waste Sub Element is consistent with this regional Policy. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.3. This policy calls for the public sector to give priority to the funding of those improvements which support the general welfare of its citizenry and promote public plans. The Solid Waste Sub Element is consistent with this policy. The City will coordinate the development of such facilities through the CNP Capital 8/30/95 95-- 830 Page -XI I-21 Improvement Element (CIE), and contains a series of policies which specify criteria for evaluating projects proposed for inclusion in the CIE. Strategic Policy 2.3.4. This policy recommends the decisions regarding the location, rate and intensity of development should be based on the existing or programmed capacity of infrastructure. The Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Element is consistent with this policy. Objective 2 of the Water, SeNver and Solid Waste Element states in part that adequate facility capacity Nvill be available to meet future nr_eds. The City will provide an adequate level of service for public facilities to meet both existing and projected needs. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.8. This policy recommends local governments to enhance sources of financial support for capital improvements. The Solid Waste Sub Element is consistent with the Strategic Regional Plan. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.10. This policy calls for localities to give priority to the construction, maintenance or reconstruction of public facilities needed to serve existing development most effectively. The Solid Waste Sub Element is consistent with this policy. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.11. This policy encourages the use of mechanisms that provide incentives for development to use existing public facilities and services. The Solid Waste Sub Element is consistent with this Regional Policy. Solid Waste Sub Element calls for the City to provide urban services at the most efficient scale of production and delivery through continuing system development, system consolidation, and increases in system effectiveness and efficiency. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.16. This policy calls for local governments to utilize the existing infrastructure capacity of regional facilities to the maximum extent consistent with the maintenance of LOS standards. The Solid Waste Element is consistent with this Regional Policy. Solid Waste Sub Sub Element states that adequate facility capacity will be available to meet future needs. The City will provide an adequate level of service for public facilities to meet both existing and projected needs. Strategic Regional Policy 2.3.17. This policy encourages local governments to permit new development only when and where adequate excess capacity exists or is programmed. The Solid Waste Sub Element is consistent with this policy. Adequate facility capacity will be available to meet future needs. The City will provide an adequate level of service for public facilities to meet both existing and projected needs. Strategic Regional Policies 2.3.22. through 2.3.34. These Regional Policies concern the funding of infrastructure needs. These issues are addressed in the Capital Improvements 8/30/95 95- 330 Page-XII-22 Element of the City CNP, and are referenced in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report for that element. EFFECT OF STATUTORY AND RULE CHANGES SINCE 1988 HAZARDOUS WASTE CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The State Comprehensive Plan is contained in Chapter 187, F.S. Subsection 187.201(13) ("Hazardous and Non -Hazardous Materials and Waste") contains the goal and objectives relevant to the disposal of solid waste in the City of Miami. There have been no changes to these sections of the State Comprehensive Plan. Those parts of the Solid Waste Sub Element specifically related to hazardous waste collection or disposal continue to be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART II, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE There have been no changes to Chapter 163. F.A.C. that have had a direct affect on the solid waste collection or disposal system. Those parts of the Solid Waste Sub Element specifically related to hazardous waste collection or disposal continue to be consistent with Chapter 163.F.A.C. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 9J-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE There have been no changes to Section 9J-5 that have had a direct affect on the solid waste collection or disposal system. Those parts of the Solid Waste Sub Element specifically related to hazardous waste collection or disposal continue to be consistent with Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C. 8/30/95 95- 830 Page-XII-23 CONSISTENCY WITH THE STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN FOR SOUTH FLORIDA The Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) for South Florida xvas released in draft form by the South Florida Regional Planning Council in February, 1995. Because this is the first edition of the SRPP, all goals and policies are new. None of the goals and policies in the new SRPP directly concern hazardous waste activities. Several goals and policies are concerned with the siting and operation of County facilities in general. There is no objective in the City plan related to Hazardous Waste. CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSED REVISIONS This section of the element evaluation presents a summary of general conclusions and identifies needed actions and/or proposed plan amendments to address or implement identified changes as discussed in other sections of this report. Proposed revisions may include identification of goals and, revised objectives. While actual proposed amendment language is not included, the general nature or types of changes are clearly described. All proposed revisions presented here have been carefully linked to the evaluation of current conditions within the City, objective achievement, issues, problems and opportunities and other sections of this element report. The required schedule for transmittal and adoption of evaluation and appraisal report - ' based amendments in Subsection 9J-5.0053(3)b. and (6)(a)8.b., F.A.C. is described in the introduction to the Land Use Element Evaluation and Appraisal Report. CONCLUSION The Ear Analysis indicates that the City of Miami has been successful in maintaining and achieving the LOS standard service since the date of adoption, and will continue to maintain the standard thru the year 2000. The City should modify the following objectives to reflect actual conditions. �5- 830 8/30/95 Page-XII-24 PROPOSED REVISIONS Coal: To ensure a clean, health), urban environment through the proper maintenance, timely provisions and efficient operation of an integrated solid waste collection and ancillary solid waste disposal report. Objective SW- 1.1 It is recommended that this objective be reworded to specify that the City no longer provides collection services to multi -family residences and businesses. Policy 1.1.2. Should be modified because the City no longer provides services to commercial structures and high density residential areas. Objective SW 1.4. It is recommended that this objective be modified because presently the City has its own recycling program including a yard and garden trash recycling. Also, the objective should be modified to reflect the City's contribution the State mandate of 30% reduction in the solid waste stream from Dade County. A new policy should be added to include a recycling pubic education program. New Objective: to include goals, objectives and policies on illegal dumping and hazardous waste collection and disposal. New, Objective: need to develop and adopt a Solid Waste Management Plan. The methodology for calculating solid waste generation should be reviewed if necessary.
