The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
FROM Cesar Odio
City Manager
SUBJECT:
Resolution in support of a
Downtown Performing Arts
Center - April 13 City
REFERErC6fmission meeting.
ENCLOSURES:
Recommendation
It'is recommended that the Commission adopt one of the three attached
alternative resolutions in support of the development of a Performing
Arts Center in Downtown Miami:
=4 Alternative Resolution 1 - A Resolution offering city -owned
land in the vicinity of Biscayne Boulevard and Biscayne Bay to
the Performing Arts Trust for development of a symphony hall, a
grand theater, and ancillary facilities; further directing
staff to work with the Performing Arts Trust to plan the
facilities.
Alternative Resolution 2 - Same as above except the land offer
is for the development of a symphony hall or a grand theater
and ancillary facilities.
Alternative Resolution 3 - A Resolution supporting the concept
of limited use of Tax Increment Financing as a funding
mechanism to acquire the land for a development of performing
arts facilities in concert viith private development in the
Biscayne Boulevard corridor in Downtown Miami; further
directing; staff to work with the private sector and the
Performing Arts Trust to plan the joint venture and to
implement the Tax Increment District.
Background
Other communities throughout Florida have or are developing
performing arts centers. Miami's performing arts institutions have
national reputations and achievements that far surpass those in
other Florida cities, but they do not have sufficient performance
facilities to sustain continuing growth and professional excellence.
Dade County has created the Performing Arts Trust, in which the City
of Miami is a participant, to plan and implement performing arts
facilities for this community.

Page Two
It is very important to the City of Miami that the Trust locate
performing arts facilities in Downtown Miami where the
infrastructure including the New World School of the Arts,
Metrorail, Metromover, parking, Baysi.de, and Gusman Theater already
exist to support the performing arts.
To insure that the performing arts in this community can continue to
grow and flourish and to insure that new performing arts facilities
are located in Downtown Miami rather than in other areas of Dade
Count the City of Miami. through the offer of City -owned Y, Y , g land or
through support of a limited Tax Increment District to finance the
acquisition of q private land for a downtown complex should become --
proactive. The New World Action Committee of the Chamber, the
=a Downtown Development Authority, the Downtown Miami Business
Association, strongly support the development of these facilities in
downtown.
The Downtown Master Plan and DRI also have included these
facilities.
Time is of the essence. The Performing Arts Trust is moving forward
in order to be able to tap potential state funding this year. The
ti+ City of Miami Beach is actively pursuing the development of a
symphony hall adjacent to TOPA and is seeking pledges of private
support; while building political support.
the three alternative Resolutions attached are offered for your
consideration.

LOCATION ADVANTAGES OF A PERFORMING ARTS COMPLEX
WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN MIAMI/BISCAYNE BOULEVARD CORRIDOR
THE DOWNTOWN/BISCAYNE BOULEVARD PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
MAXIMUM PUBLIC VISIBILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY.
THE BURLE MARX PROJECT WILL MAKE THE BOULEVARD AN EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT, INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN, ARTISTIC STATEMENT AND A
DOWNTOWN MIAMI LANDMARK.
THE COMPLEX WOULD BENEFIT FROM A LOCATION NEAR BAYFRONT PARK, THE
AMPHITHEATER AND BAYSIDE.
A LOCATION NEAR MIAMI—DADE COMMUNITY COLLEGE WITH A RELATIONSHIP
TO NEW WORLD SCHOOL OF THE ARTS WOULD BE HIGHLY DESIRABLE AS AN
INTEGRATED FACILITY AND SUPPORTIVE OF THE SCHOOL OF THE ARTS;
ALREADY NATIONALLY RENOWN IN THE ARTS WORLD.
A BOULEVARD LOCATION WOULD COMPLEMENT RECENT REDEVELOPMENT
PLANS/ACTIVITIES SUCH AS: BAYFRONT PARK, THE FREEDOM TOWER , THE
COLUMBUS/MCALLISTER BLOCK, SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST, BISCAYNE
BOULEVARD, BICENTENNIAL PARK AND THE F.E.C. PROPERTY.
A DOWNTOWN/BOULEVARD LOCATION PROVIDES GOOD PUBLIC (METROMOVER),
VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITY .
A BOULEVARD SITE OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A MAJOR ARCHITECTURAL
STATEMENT AND POSITIVE IMAGE FOR THE CITY.
A BOULEVARD SITE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF PUBLIC: AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT
III INFRASTIlUCTURE, AMENITIES AIJD PARKIlIG FACILITIES.
THE LOCATION SUPPORTS TINE DEVELOPMENT ENT OF THE BOULtEV1rI,'D AND Ag A
CATALYST, 114C TEASES THE POTi 14171 .L FOR ADDITI:ONTAL DEVE LOIsI`m;T';°.
A DOWNTOWN/POULEVARD LOCATIONS PROVED aS THE ABILITY TO TIE 11"', UITH
OTHER CITY AND FE:N FORIfiING ARTS FACILITIES SUCH AS: THE AREAA,
GUSMAN HALL, THE AMPHITHEATER AND THE KNIGHT CENTER.
A DOWNTOWN SITE IS CENTRALLY LOCATED WITHIN DADE COUNTY, THE
SYMBOLIC CORE, FOR MAXIMUM ACCESSIBILITY.
A DOWNTOWN/BOULEVARD SITE PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR JOINT
MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. CITIES SUCH AS CHARLOTTE, PITTSBURGH AND
TULSA HAVE GONE IN THIS DIRECTION WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING THE
ARTS SELF SUFFICIENT. JOINT DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTS THE WAVR OF
THE FUTURE IN DEVELOPING ARTS FACILITIES. RATHER THAN LOCATING
ARTS FACILITIES IN AREAS TO FOSTER REDEVELOPMENT, ABTS FACILITIES
ARE NOW BEING LOCATED IN GOOD MARKET AREAS TO CAPTURE, THE
ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THESE LOCATIONS AS A MEANS OF SUPPORTI G
CONSTRUCTION AND UNDERWRITING OPERATING DEFICITS.;"
