II. 21 MWWC 80tN,RIES The Model City (Liberty City) Redevelopment Area is located in the approximettely northeasterly ore -quarter of the neighborhood better kmm� an Model City. The r+edevelopmetnt area is generally bomubdl by I-95 to the east., N.W. 12th Avenue to the westo. N.W. 54 Street to the south and N.W. 79 8tr str or the northern city limits, to the north. (See location and legal description attached as Exhibit "S"). Since the Miami. Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 does not identify "LSberty City" as one of it's neighborhoods, the baurdaries of this redevelopment plan actually consist of portions of two distinct subareas within the larger neighborhood which is better known as Model City. These subareas are Edison Center and Icing Heights. III. BACKGROM The following is a brief description of each of the subareas which make up the Liberty City Redevelopment Area: A. Edison Center Edison Center is the "Neighborhood Retail Center" of The Model City Area. It is generally bounded by N.W. 68 Street, I-95, N.W. 58 Street and N.W. 12 Avenue. Edison Center has recently been identified in the Miami ' Gomp�reinensive Neighborhood Plan as an ecorxmically distressed area. Edison Plaza, which is the primary shopping center of the area, was largely destroyed during the civil disturbances in 1980 and has since been rdxdlt. The primary issues facing Edison Center eras eoonromic disirriestmerit, difficulties for small business development, extremely high insurance premiums for area businesses clue to crime, unemployment., lack of educational and career development programs, especially for youth, lack of residential area maintenance and an increase in drug -related crimes. The only recent caicmercial and residential in the area has cane from the public sector. Both the City of !Miami and Dane County rerxiered financial assistance to the Edison Plaza redevelopment through the Tacolcy R=Kmi,c Development Corporation. Among the new development is a Winn Dixie Stnpennarket and McDonalds restaurant. Recent residential. investment in the area includes two main projects; one is the Edison Towers project and the other is a 32 townhouse unit project targeted for single mothers. Edism Towers was only made possible through a private investment that was a direct result of a publicly sponsored program; and the townhouse project was the result of a program which was sponsored by the urban league of Cheater Miami. -2- 90— 50c King Heights ="tylyN.W. a residentialneighbod ij within M del City. It is generally 62 Street, 1-95, N.W. 54 Street ad N-W, 17 Avemal hov wer, for the puu:poses of this redevelopment effort, only the eastern half is included. The primary issues in this area include a lack of adequate and affordable housing, a need to rehabilitate or redevelop substandard and 4st Ariorat d housing sts ctures, erczuwading, crime, especially as it relates to the use and trafficking of illegal drugs, and the demolition of crack hoes, and the plight of families headed by a single parent. The portion of the King Heights neighborhood within the Liberty City Padermlopment Area has been the beneficiary of public investment for several years. The City of Miami. and Dade County have been implementing the scattered sites housing program in the area, and single family and multifamily rehabilitation is encouraged through the City's on -going rehabilitation program administered by the Department of Development and Housing conservation. There has been little, if any, private itivest�dent since 1980. -3- y- tv. E'X15"pW CDMdIT'T CP SLUK AND SAGW A. Daftjraphics ( See Fables 1 and 2 on the following pages) V 1. Amlysis Ovwall population The Liberty City Area showed an overall population► decrease of 26*4% ' between 1970 and 1980; in contrast, the City of Miami as a whole, Y experienteed a 3.6$ increase during the same time period, lxsaenw, the overall city increase included an additional SOONpersons that the Co sus Bureau awarded as a result of the Menial boatlift. ring the period from 1980 to 1990, the area was believed to have continued to decrease in population, but at a reduced rate. The 1990 Census results are not yet available. Age Distribution From 1970 to 1980, the age group with the most dramatic decrease was persons under 18 years old; within Liberty City, this was a decrease of 43.5%, while the City of Miami decrease was only 12.4%. The only age group which dramatically increased was those persons 65 years and older; in Liberty City this demonstrated an increase of 66.1%, while the City of Miami showed only a 21.9% increase. Ethnic Distribution The ethnic make up of Liberty City also changed from 1970 to 1980. In 1970, Liberty City was h+ane to 55 white peons, 6905 black persons and 13 persons of other races; by 1980, the rnmiber of whites decr®esed to 33 parsons (a decrease of 40%), the mzimr of blacks decreased to 4939 parsons (a decrease of 28.5t), and the 1-1 k ar of persons of other races increased to 19 persons (an increase of 46.2%). During this period, the total number of Hispanic pis also deceased from 161 perms to 61 persons (a decrease of 62.1%). Thwe changes are proportionate to the overall decrease in the atom Population• Mplayment and Income During the period between 1970 and 1980, the total civilian laabor force in Liberty City declined by 27.5%, whereas I the City of. Miami saw an increase of 8.6%. The total comber of persons employed„ r Liberty City also decreased by 30.6% while in the City of -Mimi, an increase of 6.5% was reported. Median income levels in Liberty City rose 58% and mean income levab went up by 78% which is low when compared to an increase of 82.9% 3r -A- 90-- 502 the median inure level of the City of Miami and a 99.6% i.nnuaw in the meant family income. The actual mean fftily inww of fesel headed households with children averaged $5968 in Liberty City, wU below the WjOrty level, in 1980 and $8086 in the City of Miami. figures an ektplcyment and inccm indicate that while the City of Miami, as a whole, was experiencing a period of hitter MUVAt and average increases in family income, the Liberty City anamas experiencing a period of decline. HnployctreM levels were I*Mt aid increases in family Income e ware less than average and irwufficlant for area residwits to maintain their existing standard of living. number of persons at or below the poverty level increased free► 1765 to 1850, representing an increase of apprdndwately 40% of the population. These tLwds are believed to have continuer! during the 1980-1990 period. Housing The total number of year-round housing units in Liberty City decreased by 12% between 1970 and 1980 while in the City of Miami, an increase of 16.1% was reported. The total number of owner occupied housing units in Liberty City decreased by 13.3% and the number renter occupied units decreased by 14.4% while the number of vacant units increased by 76.2%. Many of the vacant units are either substandard, deteriorated and unsuitable to live in, or have been converted into crack mouses and demolished since the 1980 census. (Approximately 31 structures have been deamlished for this reason since 1987 alone, and many more have been cited as vacant and unsecured and will be demolished unless they became secured). In contrast, the City of Miami, as a whole, had an increase in the mmber of owner occupied units by 6%, an increase in the nusaber of renter occupied units by 14.3% and an increase in the number of vacant units by 143.9%. The increase in the number of vacant units is not as significant citywide as it is in Liberty City, because there was an overall increase in the number of units citywide, while in Liberty City, there was an overall decrease in the number of units. The value of owner occupied housing units in Liberty City increased by 150.8% while the City of Miami reported an increase of 187%. Rent also increased by 63.4 in Liberty City and 87% citywide. The housing figures reported above indicate substantial decreases in available housing for Liberty City residents; and when compared to the figures on family incam levels, it is evident that riot only are there not enough single family housing units suitable for living in the area, but the cast of single fancily mousing is becoming increasingly out of range for the average family. In Liberty City, the value of owner occupied units went up by over 150% and rent was up by over 63%, yet the mediae family inane increased by only 58%, thus increasing the percentage of the family income that has to go towards housing, and in some cases, making the housing unaffordable. -5- 90- 502 During the period from 1980 to 1990 the tnxd er of single family t9litt w" believed to have continued to decli na. From 1987 th ru May of 1990 alone,pprroxttnntsly 31 structures were derolished, sceae houses, and others were vacant, unsecured structto live in) which were ordered to be cla lisped by Metro -Dew rtty`s Dwafe Structures Board. Many buildings in the area are still vWMt and unsecured and will be demolished unless they are seed. This trend is believed to continue into the 1990's unless public sector intervention occurs. -6- 90- 5.02 Liberty City 6otio-ttconowic atbe bseographLe twhaft"ristits 1970 •' s eae•a„l+�c-Lt�ii►A��+�+ihiell 'Focal Persons 6973 Persons `Under 3 +ears 04S Persons Under i8 years 2997 Persons 65 years and over 237 White Penang 53 diartk Persons 6905 Other Persons 13 Total Nispanic'persons 161 Persons of Mexican Origin 0 Persons of Puerto Rican Origin 2 Persons of Cuban Origin 77 Persons of Other Hispanic Origin 82 Total Number of Households 1995 Total Number of Families 1611 Total Number of Pswale Householder with no husband present with children under 18 years Labor Force h n.a. ra .ter;�st+ce Total Civilian Labor Force 2899 Persons Employed 2775 Persons unemployed 125 Civilian Persons 16-19 Years not.

These areas seen to be primarily residential in nature (especially the public housing project areas) and in the northern portions of the district. # The majority of the commercial areas which are deteeriorating are located along N.W. 62 Street and N.W. 7th Avenue. These adverse physical conditions add to the high level of distress that the area is currently experiencing. i i 2. Neighborhood Problems and Needs Housing Although some improvements have been made in the recent past, the j Liberty City neighborhood continues to haws housing problems. These problems include housing shortage, ovee payment, passible overcrowding, and deterioration of the homing shock. As the demographic tables and analysis show, the median family i.ncom ;j of the area only went up 58%, while the value of homes went up 150% and rent also increased by 63%. This indicates that the area has experienced, a mulch higher increase in the cost of housing vs, the i increase in family income, therefore decreasing the chances of hansownership for many area residents. This has resulted in an outnigration of residents to more affordable areas of the county, or into publicly subsidized housing. { *Nate that this data is from a 4 part rating system in which #1 is a sound structure, #2 is a structure requiring minor repairs, #3 is a j deteriorating structure requiring major repairs, and #4 is structure 4 which is idated. The percentage used in this analysis combination of uthe istor of structures which received rating of #3 and #4. i! i 90- 502 E _r�_ ........................ i .................. -N n/nn ml 1 o mtmllnn � w9 /1 1 rnnl 111111111 mnn /11/11111 It1/11111 �iiilil t a . 111 IEIIIIIIIII 11111111E ;;;: '< "�� '' ^+ IE1 ,111111 Illllllir`'"' .:� li 1111111r111 IIIIIIIIE::::: loll 11111111111 n111111�: MODEL CITY (LillEnY CITY) REDEVELOPMENT AREA N.W. 18 ST Kw. 11 TEAR. �f N.W. 71 ST.

BUILDIM AND Y Y :9 ;d f t ZOKM DEPARTMENT Single r'rmfly arenas Over the past several years the Liberty City area has a ri,e"ned a substantial decrease in single family residential uses with a increase in higher density residential us, iaity multifamily developient (including public housing) . 7tre is an aburrdance of vacant properties =led for residential (mid dial uses. Threw properties provide adequate sties for infill development, but only if the cost routine affordable. Commercial Areas There has been a continuous out -migration of business activity/ from the area since the 1960's. The primary co nmercial area, the Edison Business Center, was impacted by the 1980 civil disturbances. Since that time the area has seen an increase in vacancies, deterioration of cc, -rciat structures including poor maintenance and an overall reduction in the buying power of area residents (this is due to the decline in population). The only eco is redevelopment that has taken place in the area has been the direct result of public investment; and public sector assistance will have to continue if this trend is to continue. Infrastructure - Street Conditions The City of Miami Public Works Dephas developed a sufficiency rating system in order to rate street conditions citywide. A score of 81-100 means that the street conditions are good; a score of 71 to 80 is fair; a score of 61 to 70 is poor (meaning no drainage, poor sidewalks and/or cracked asphalt); and a rating of 60 or below means that the street is in critical condition, and immediate attention is required. Within the Liberty City Redevelopment Area there are quite a few streets (especially north of N.W. 62 Street) which received sufficiency ratings below 60. The average rating for the area generally bounded by N.W. 12th Avenue on the west, N.W. 63 Street an the south, N.W. 7th Avenue on the east and N.W. 71 Street on the north, is 58.22. This indicates that the street north of N.W. 62 Street are in critical condition and must be rebuilt as soon► as possible. The area from N.W. 62 Street to the south was recently rebuilt and scomed sufficiency ratings in the mid-80's. The area north of N.W. 62 Street must be brought up to this standard or the neighborhood will continue to decline. Parking Parking needs in the Edison Center area should be further studied to determine whetleat a parking problem exists due to recent . The current parking situation, according to merchants in the area, indicates that a problem does exist and may limit future draevelopnrent if adequate parking is not provided in the near future. -15- Patics and Open spece acolcy Park is the only neighborhood pant dLx+ectiy within the Idi�eartl► City Redevelopreetrt Area bcauidaries. are htr 2 additional amity peurke, ane snore nteigttbodxxxi park and a Atli- pat)t which at+e ittttsediately adja:ertt to, ardjor serve the area. them aria as follows Athalie Range Park, 1Egadley Park, Afrioart $*Sans Palk chid the i2th llvsatmte Mint -park. Africant Square Park and At VklAe r'. Park havr� rsces�ttly received tmnies for heeded itnpalcrvaaaants;g aed. ? Hadley Park still requi,res same major itgzxwetssents. The Miami, OmWehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 contains an analysis of the City's park space (including deficiencies) by neighborhoods. Since the Liberty City Redsvelcpsrant Area is not an official neighborhood of the City of Miami, but rather a portion of the Model City Neighborhood, this report will assume that the findingsa for Model City are representative of the area which includes the Liberty City Redevelopment Area. The total Us the staresspace 4 4within the Model City area is 38.6 sq. ft. of mini -park space per person, 21.8 sq. ft. of neighborhood park space per person, and 43.6 sq. ft. of c=msnity Park space per person, this indicates a deficiency within the Model City area of 16.57 acres of park space in the categories of Comn ity and Neighborhood Parks. (These standards are lower than those used by Dads County, and there is still a deficiency). «Si7Ln There is a need to expand day care centers in the Liberty City area. In addition, there is a need for more after school programs espracially for children of low income families. Within the Liberty City Redevelopment Area, there are currently 9 Day Care Centers, with approdmately 300-350 slots for pro -school children; 5 of these centers reported that they are operating at capacity, 2 are reporting same openings, and 2 would not say if they were full or not. The 1980 census reports that the area has approximately 570 children under the age of 5 years; and a total of 1691 children under the age of 18 years. The average cost for child care ranges fr m $45 per week to $75 per week depending on the age of the child and the operation of the center (one of the centers operates on system where the oast is a sliding scale depending on the family inname). These figures indicate that there may be a problem in the amount and the affordability of child day care in the area, especially in after -school program. Other needs for children includes family home care for infants, health care program. including dental care and nutritional training programs for parents; and safety program. -16- 90— 502 1 Elderly Needs } The cost of housing is a critical problem for the elderly population in Liberty City. A large percentage of their (fixed) iitcxn►+asr is alloortted for housing The demographic payments. tables putwAded in 4 this repot show than the elderly population is incressing at a mid rate while the housing stock is decreasing. The result is 1) inflated housing prices for a segment of the population who can least afftd it because they are an fixed incomes; and 2) a continual need for rent subsidies. There is also a tremendous need for housing projects specifically designed for the elderly; only one such facility has i been constructed in the area recently. ri Other needs of the elderly population area services for the homWxuid including delivered meals and homemaker services; transportation, s health, recreation, and assistance in adequate rat planning. Health and Welfare Metro -Dais County is responsible for the public health and welfare programs in the City of Mimi.. The Liberty City area health care needs are served primarily by Jackson Memorial Hospital located approximately 4 miles form the area. There are also other private hospitals and clinics which serve the area. In addition, there are nunnerous social service agencies in the neighborhood, most of them are funded through the City of Miami oanmuni ty Development Department. Cutbacks in social service program at the local, state and federal levels will hgmct the adequate delivery of these services to Liberty City residents. Crime Safety is a major concern in the Liberty City area. A crime study conducted in 1984, which included the 8 CD target Areas, indicates that the Model City Neighborhood was ranked* #3 out of 8 in reported, breaking arid entering, #3 out of 8 in reported violent crimes, #3 out of 8 in reported assaults, #2 out of 8 in reported rapes, and #3 out of 8 in reported murders. lower rankings were reported in robberies and non-violent crimes. These figures indicate that in mast types of crime, the incidence of crime in Model City is above the City ( More recent crime reports for the area indicate an increase in drug i related crimes. City Police officials along with code enforcement officers have recently targeted the area for an intense Lana and code enforcement sweep, especially where drugs are involved (i.e. crack houses). * Norte that in the ranking system which was used, #1 is the area reporting most crimes, or the worst; and #8 is the area reporting the least crimes, or the best. -17- 90— 502 "0 MJOt crI ter pr blses within the area can be attrIbea dt to unwply. &W :elated activities and a comoatsation of pwple With 9 rwords within the wm&.

These negative trends can only be reversed through dramatic public intervention which seeks to completely change the physical, conditions and social environment of the area. _ig_ 90- 50A UM KU thatVOL iDtl Of tho falllisted COMM Plats s Little i LVW Wool fr. 11 26 Pritchud park 24 52 2 err i 15 47 F 7th Aire. flei#lt$ 24 54 ,1 zastm=eland NOV.
