LLC _Final TIF Proposal with
Exhibits
The Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") is
responsible for carrying out community redevelopment activities and projects within its
redevelopment area in accordance with the 2010 CRA Redevelopment Plan ("Plan").
On September 13, 2016, the CRA approved and adopted Resolution No. CRA-R-16-
0042, adopting the City of Miami's procurement ordinance as the process in which any
and all services and goods are procured by the CRA.
The NR Investments 11, LLC company (NR Investments) submitted a grant proposal
request to the CRA requesting the amount of $5,500,000.00 to underwrite a portion of
the costs to develop a mixed -use project within the Omni CRA. NR Investments, a for
profit entity, possesses a unique approach to this mixed -use development project
consisting of ground floor office retail, ground floor commercial space and approximately
252 units of affordable housing. The principals of NR Investments have a history of
successful development housing units in Miami- Dade County.
This project also presents a unique approach and opportunity for a local government
entity to collaborate on an affordable housing project that will also utilize the benefits of
an Opportunity Zone initiative in the Omni CRA. This is a new way in which local
government entities can collaborate and have a truly successful project that meets the
need of the community.
JUSTIFICATION:

titled, Variety of Housing", subsection D-3 specifically states the "Provision of incentives
for the construction of new housing to attract downtown workers." The proposal is also
consistent with Section D of the plan on page 42 Section D "Improvements to the Public
Realm" "to "[e]nhance the areas' visual attractiveness to businesses and
residents." This project is consistent with Florida Statute 163 and also the goals and
objectives of the 2010 Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan.
The NR Investment 11 LLC, proposal submitted will develop the group of properties with
the following addresses at 70 NE 17th street, 90 NE 17th street and 1642 NE 1st
avenue, Miami, Florida within the Omni CRA and now requests grant funding to
underwrite a portion of the costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
In light of the above mentioned background information, rehabilitation of the building
and the Grantee's past business successes and the CRA's identified objectives in the
CRA's plan to reduce slum and blight, and in consideration of the Executive Director's
pledge to allocate grant funding to further the plan and activate the area, an approval of
a bid waiver is recommended.
FUNDING:
Subject to the availability of funds and subject to the Omni CRA being able to
successfully secure funding for the project.

Re: NR Investments 11 LLC — Tax Increment Rebate & Grant Proposal for 17`h Street
Apartments
Dear Mr. Walker:
Our firm represents NR Investments 11 LLC (hereinafter, the "Applicant" or "Developer"), the owner of
the property located within the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") boundaries at 70 & 90 N.E. 17tn
Street and 1642 N.E. lst Avenue, Miami, Florida, Miami, Florida (the "Proper ").
Developer formally submits the enclosed proposal for the CRA's consideration in support of a mixed -use
project Developer intends to construct on the Property. The project will consist of ground floor retail (approx. 6,000
sq. ft.), office (approx. 30,000 sq. ft.), and 252 multi -family, residential rental units (the "Project"). In exchange for
the CRA's financial support, as outlined hereinbelow, Applicant shall agree to restrict the rents of ALL 252
residential units within the Project through 2047 (assuming the anticipated extended life of the CRA extends at least
through 2047) via the imposition of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (the "Covenant"). The Applicant's
request of the CRA and proceeds realized pursuant to the rebate of property taxes equal to the percentage of the
increase paid during the term of the agreement (the "Incentive Agreement") will be used to off -set the losses
occasioned from the restricted rents and to off -set the costs of the City building permit fees, County water & sewer
connection charges, and City & County impact fees.
The proposal is consistent the strategic plan and goals of the CRA Redevelopment Plan (2019 Amendment)
which seek to expand the supply of affordable and workforce housing within the CRA boundaries. Affordable and
workforce housing units forming part of the Project will provide needed housing inventory to critical employees
within the Miami market, including: (i) hospitality service workers; (ii) teachers (median annual salary: $46,000);
(iii) police officers (avg. base annual salary: $53,715); (iv) firefighters (avg. annual salary: $54,9430; (iv) registered
nurses (avg. annual salary: $56,925); and (v) recent college graduates (avg. starting salary: $50,004).
We look forward to your favorable consideration of this request and the CRA board's approval of the same.

171h Street Apartments Project
RATIONALE FOR CRA ASSISTANCE
Miami's downtown skyline is a picture of construction, as new condos and apartments are built throughout
our burgeoning City. But the expansion experienced in the current real estate cycle is misleading as the City faces
one of the nation's most severe crisis of housing unaffordability stemming from the dual problem of high housing
costs and comparably low wages.
Today, Greater Miami's housing stock suffers from a significant supply mismatch. The local market has a
glut of expensive housing and not nearly enough affordable housing. While we have seen the construction of
expensive condos to the point of over -supply, not nearly enough affordable and workforce housing has been built to
meet market's demand. While thousands of new housing units have been developed within the City and thousands
more are slated for development within the CRA alone, most of the units built are market -rate or high -end luxury
units.
Further compounding the current mismatch is a lack of general housing starts in the metropolitan market. s
Only 4 percent of the metro area's housing units have been built since 2010. By contrast, some of America's most
dynamic and fastest -growing metros have constructed more than 10 percent of their housing stock since 2010.
While a new and growing community, Miami's housing supply is increasing at the pace of older, more built -out
metropolitan areas, like Boston, and Rust -Belt metropolitan areas, like Cincinnati and St. Louis. coo
Six in 10 employed adult residents of Greater Miami are housing cost -burdened, meaning they spend more
than 30 percent of their incomes on housing — the highest rate of any large metropolitan area in the nation. Racial
and ethnic minorities, as well as our community's low-income service workers, shoulder a disproportionate share of
the burden of today's housing crisis. The following facts provide chilling insight into the scope and impact of the
current crisis:
■ More than 40% of the Miami metro's households are renters — ranking 8' among all large U.S. metros
on this metric. Between 2010 and 2016, Greater Miami has seen its proportion of renter households
grow by nearly 2% annually.
■ Miami's renter population is disproportionately African American and Hispanic with 55% of black
households and 48% of Hispanic households renting, compared with just over 25% of white households.
■ Greater Miami's median rents are increasingly unaffordable. As of October 2018, the median rent for
Greater Miami was $2,095 — the eighth highest in the nation behind communities like Denver, Portland,
Dallas and Austin. Said median rent requires an annual household income of not less than $83,800 for such
rent to be "affordable" or for the household not to be "cost -burdened."
■ Miami's low-income service class — workers in low -skill jobs like retail, food service and home care which
make-up more than 50 percent of the region's workforce — is severely cost -burdened. Miami's service
class faces the greatest rental cost burdens among all classes with just under $11,000 in annual income left-
over after paying rent — the 5r'' worst rate among large metropolitan areas in the nation.
■ Miami has the highest proportion of cost -burdened renters in the nation by a significant margin. More
than half (53%) of renters spend 35 percent or more of their household income on rent. Greater
Miami's renters have the least amount of money left over after paying for housing of any large metro.
Miami's renters have, on average, less than $16,000 left over after paying their rent. Far less than the
$30,000 or so in take-home income that renters in Washington, D.C. and Boston have left over after paying
for their housing.

CONSISTENCY WITH CRA REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
Chapter 4 of the CRA proposed amendment to the Redevelopment Plan (2019) reaffirms the importance of
the development of affordable housing to the economic vitality of the CRA. With regard to projects assisted by the
CRA (from which it excepts projects it seeks to support to provide workforce, low, or very -low income housing), it
identifies among its community benefits priorities the "inclusion of an appropriate amount of below -market rate
units," specifically workforce housing units (at less than 140% AMI) and units for low-income residents (less than
80% AMI). Among the policy reasons articulated for such community benefits requirement are: (i) preservation of
the affordability of the neighborhood; (ii) prevention of existing resident displacement; and (iii) provide area
workers an opportunity to live near work.
On page 4-32 of the amended Redevelopment Plan, the CRA has noted that housing affordability is one of
the key programs for the CRA to undertake. A thriving community is one where residents in all phases of life with
varying types of employment can live in one area. To that end, the CRA outlined the following programmatic
methods it can employ to increase the supply of affordable housing:
To Assist For -Profit Housing Providers in the CPA could:
ti
co
2) Pay some portion of development costs such as impact or permit fees
3) Provide a direct cash subsidy in the form of a rebate equal to a percentage of the
increases in taxes paid over a defined period of time after completion if affordable units
are provided.
In addition to the above programmatic methods to expand the supply of affordable housing, the CRA has identified
the following goal on page 5-56 of the Redevelopment Plan:
6) Housing Affordability —The CRA should fund established and creative new ways to increase
the stock of workforce and lower income affordable housing within the district.
GOALS:
a) Create project -specific developer incentives to ensure that new or significantly
redeveloped residential projects in the CRA contain a sufficient number of'units that are
affordable to the target populations.
The Project and accompanying request seek financial support from the CRA to underwrite the development of
residential units, specifically for low-income and workforce households, and asks the CRA to provide the Applicant
with a project -specific incentive.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Developer proposes to enter into a public -private partnership with the CRA to advance its goal of
developing much -needed affordable and workforce housing units within the redevelopment area. Applicant
proposes to construct a 29-story tower on land it purchased over the course of the last three years which will consist
of a mixed -use project comprised of the following elements: (i) 252 multi -family residential units; (ii) approximately
30,000 sq. ft. office use; and (iii) approximately 6,000 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial use (the "Project").
Applicant proposes to assist the CRA in advancing its Redevelopment Plan goal by restricting rents of ALL the
residential units within the Project through the life of the CRA is outlined hereinbelow. The rent restrictions
proposed will ensure that the Developer make residential units available to low-income households and households
who can afford "workforce" rents, more specifically teachers, police officers, firefighters, nurses, and recent college
graduates, among other professions.
The Project represents the Developer's latest investment in the Omni "Arts + Entertainment District" — a w
dynamic urban residential neighborhood connecting the CRA & downtown Miami with the Wywood Arts District s
and the Design District. With the surrounding growth, the Arts + Entertainment District has seen growth in its 0
residential, culinary, entertainment and nightlife offerings, but substantial land remains undeveloped and a number
of buildings remain dilapidated within the district evidencing the continued "slum & blight conditions" within the
CRA. Applicant's CANVAS project, a new art -inspired condominium offering a "bohemian luxe" lifestyle
immersed in the local art, culinary & cultural scene, has served to anchor the district's ascendant trajectory. t„
Beyond its project investments within the redevelopment area, NR Investments, Inc., has invested
approximately $2 million in efforts to beautify the Arts & Entertainment District, attract new businesses and retailers
to the area, and deliver high -quality arts, music and community programming, including "The Miami Flea," a pop-
up market, and a "Moonlight Grooves," a music series held on CANVAS's backyard, among others.
Given the Project's location just north of downtown Miami, it is conveniently accessible via multiple
modes of transit, including: (i) the MetroMover via the "School Board Station" on N.E. 15`h Street; (ii) the City's
free trolley system; and (iii) Virgin Trains' service at Grand Central Station. The inclusion of the proposed
affordable and workforce dwelling units in the Project will provide residents convenient access to employment
opportunities via mass transit servicing greater downtown Miami area and portions of the South Florida region via
inter -city passenger rail service.
Illustrative Project renderings and floor plans are enclosed as Exhibit "A".

REQt E'STED PROJECT ASSISTANCE
The Applicant makes the following request based on the assumption the CRA will be extended to 20471:
2047 CRA Expiration Date
Proposed Residential Restrictions: Applicant proposes to rent -restrict 252 residential units — 188 studio
units, 60 one -bedroom units and 4 two bedroom units— as set forth in the "Project Information Sheet" attached
hereto as Exhibit "B." Said rent -restrictions will be remain in place from the date the Residential portion of
the Project is placed in-service (as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or
certificate of occupancy for a residential dwelling unit) through the date of the CRA's anticipated term
extension (2047). The Applicant will be permitted to adjust the maximum rent per unit for each unit type
consistent with the rate schedule adopted by the Corporation for "Multifamily Rental Programs" for Miami -
Dade County. The Developer will impose a covenant setting forth the rent restrictions and the minimum
number of rent -restricted units by type. The covenant shall grant the enforcement rights to the CRA through
the extended term of the CRA (2047).
Requested Financial Assistance: Applicant requests a cash grant of $5_5 million (approximately $21,825
per unit) and a rebate of 95% of the TIF collected by the Omni CRA. Developer anticipates that the rebated
tax increment will amount to approximately $8_5 million in gross receipts (or $3_9 million in present value)
to off -set: a) an estimated $17.8 million in rent losses (gross) ($8_2 million in present value), b) the reduction
in property value due to the rent restriction (beginning at over $11.1 million and increasing annually to over
s
$17.9 million by 20147 and c) the more than $2_6 million in estimated permit fees, water & sewer connection w
charges, and impact fees to be assessed at the initiation of the Project. Applicant requests that the cash grant s
be provided at time of the issuance of the Project building permit. See Exhibit "C" attached hereto. 2
' This proposal anticipates the CRA will be extended at least through 2047. If the CRA is not extended
beyond the current expiration of 2030, the Developer respectfully requests to receive the same cash grant and rebate
rate. Accordingly, the Developer will continue to restrict all 252 Units through 2038 (8 years after TIF rebate would
end), but will restrict less units at the lower 3 rent levels.

CASA MIA APARTMENTS
The Overtown area of Miami is comprised of 1950s and 60s post-war housing. Some single family homes
but mostly concrete multifamily developments ranging from 4 unit to 20 unit structures. Most of the
rental housing stock available is mainly owned by slumlords or absentee owners who do not address the
dilapidated conditions. Some buildings have been sold or flipped several times (including ours) over the
past years with no efforts of rehabilitation. The cost of land and construction has risen, and the
opportunity of development is expanding to this area- leaving the current residents most vulnerable to
displacement.
Upturn Group wants to rehabilitate the current structure not only because of its historic contribution to
the neighborhood character but also because of its strong bones. Sustainability here not only means
ecologically aware, but also to sustain the local residents' ties to the community. We do not want to
displace anyone, but keep our tenants in their home and keep the culture of the community strong.
Thanks to the help of CRA, we plan on cost sharing this project so that we are able to continue to serve
the current residents of the Omni area at affordable rates with homes they can be proud of.

The Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency previously
authorized grant funding to The Miami Woman's Club in the amount of Three Million
Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,750,000.00) for the renovation of its
historic property located at 1737 North Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida.
The Club executed a declaration of restrictive covenant on the property in favor of the
CRA, as an inducement for receiving the grant. The Covenant specified that there was
to be no transfer of any interest in the property. The effect of this covenant would mean
that any transfer of any interest whether sale or lease would need to be approved in
writing by the Omni CRA.
This legislation is before the board based on a request by the Club to remove the
covenant.

Dear Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency,
I am delighted to extend my congratulations to your organization, which has been awarded funds
towards a Special Category Grant from the Department of State's Division of Historical Resources. The
historic preservation grants specialist assigned to your project will contact you soon to begin the
process towards the execution of a grant award agreement. He/she will be your main point of contact,
but please feel free to contact me at any time. In the meantime, I wish to offer the following
information to help you get started:
• Grants Online System — The Department of States uses a Department -wide online grants
system. Please visit dosgrants.com and make sure the Project Contact is still active, along
with that person's information including active email address and telephone numbers. We will
be using the online system to manage, monitor, and review all documents related to the grant
project.
• Procurement — If your grant will require a contractor's services (e.g. architect, engineer,
general contractor, archaeologist, survey consultant, web designer), depending on the
contract amount for those services, you will be required to document your selection process.
Also, draft contracts must be reviewed and approved by the Division prior to the solicitation of
services and/or execution. You must wait until the grant award agreement is fully executed
before submitting draft contracts for review; if applicable, please refer to AIA contracts for
guidance.
• Start Date — Please remember that the grant award period has not begun and that work
undertaken prior to July 1st will not be covered by the grant award or match. Also, work
inconsistent with the approved scope of work will not be covered, regardless of when it is
performed.
• How to Manage your Grant Presentation — A pdf version of the "How to Manage your Grant"
presentation is currently available on our webpage at FLHeritage.com for your convenience.

Introduction
Mission
The Omni CRA's mandate is governed by Florida Statutes, Chapter 163, Part III. The Omni CRA's goal is to
revitalize the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area, through the targeted and leveraged investment of the Tax
Increment collected there, and to aid in successful development projects of both the public and private
sector, alleviating conditions contributing to Slum and Blight and encouraging the creation of housing
attainable to all.
The Omni CRA is committed to the preservation and enhancement of property values and neighborhood
amenities, stimulating the creation of new economic opportunities for residents, preserving history and
culture, and improving the quality of life of those who reside, visit, work, or spend time in the
neighborhoods of the Omni CRA.
Vision
The vision for the Omni CRA's Redevelopment Area is a set of 24-hour walkable neighborhoods with wide
active sidewalks and pedestrian -friendly streets that function as a platform for creative productivity and
vibrant living. The Omni neighborhood as a central connection between arts, culture, history, business,
media and entertainment. The CRA envisions a connected and collaborative neighborhood where everyone
can afford to live, work, and make an impact in improving the quality of their city.

This Redevelopment Plan
The Omni CRA has made significant improvements over the years and will use the extension of time to
further the progress in the CRA area.
The Omni Redevelopment Area Community Redevelopment Agency (the Omni CRA) was originally formed
in 1987. The Finding of Necessity (FON) for the original Omni CRA was completed in 1987 and the district
has received several updates and expansions over the years.
Assessment of Need
The CRA and the City of Miami have requested an extension of time for Omni based on Miami -Dade County
Board of County Commissioners Resolution #R-611-15 which requires an assessment that demonstrates
that slum and blight still exist within the designated Community Development Agency. The analysis of the
Assessment of Need (AON) for the extension of the time frame for the Omni (CRA) in the City of Miami has
been prepared and is part of a formal request to extend timeframe of the Omni CRA for an additional 15
years until the year 2047.
Extension of Life
The Omni Redevelopment Area Community Redevelopment Agency is requesting an extension of time in
which to complete the redevelopment activities contemplated for the Omni Area. In 2018, the CRA
prepared an Assessment of Need (AON) that showed there is a continued need for redevelopment
activities to take place to address the pervasive slum and blight conditions plaguing the Omni Area as well
as to create badly needed housing affordability. If granted, the CRA would have an additional fifteen years
(15) years through year 2047 to complete the redevelopment activities.

Chapter 1 History of Omni CRA
Omni Neighborhoods
The 2010 Omni Redevelopment Area is comprised of six distinct areas or neighborhoods (See Exhibit 1-2)
that represent a different nature to the community. The neighborhoods are Omni, Northeast Overtown,
South Wynwood, South Edgewater, and small portions of Park West and Watson Island.

History of the Neighborhoods
Omni
Source: Omni CRA
What is today known as the Omni Neighborhood or the Arts & Entertainment District —just north of the
Central Business District of downtown Miami, extending from Biscayne Boulevard to the FEC tracks, and I-
395 to 17t" Street —first rose as a mercantile district serving the booming Miami downtown in the 1920s
and 1930s. Large and small retailers built stores in the mercantile district there but many eventually failed
due to a dwindling customer base and competition with suburban malls. Large-scale urban renewal created
the Omni Mall and 1-395 which both further deteriorated the neighborhood. The Omni CRA chose to spend
their initial revenue on several catalytic projects in this neighborhood: Margaret Pace Park, the Adrienne
Arsht Center for the Performing Arts (PAC), and the Miami Entertainment Center (MEC).
The Omni neighborhood sits at a crossroads of Miami and has a unique opportunity to develop in ways that
no other neighborhood in Miami will. The height and density allowed here will almost definitely deliver
2

Packet Pg. 130
2.5.a
thousands of new units of development in towers, and the CRA is poised to create opportunities for true
mixed -income neighborhood, supporting residents from all walks of life.
South Edgewater
Edgewater began as a low -density residential neighborhood north of downtown along Biscayne Bay, which
faced the same problems as the Omni area in the post-war era and it went largely undeveloped for many
decades. The proximity to Miami Beach and the permissive densities of the zoning code have allowed the
area to be built up over time with many luxury condominium developments lining the waterfront. The CRA
invested in a catalytic project —the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing arts which is a regional
destination to this day. Improvements to Margaret Pace Park, and later environmental remediation and
infrastructure for Maurice Ferre Park and the creation of the Port Tunnel have further improved the quality
of life in the area. Development in the South Edgewater neighborhood has seen a great boom, however
most building has been restricted to mainly high -end market rate condominiums, and residents are
concerned over access and amenities.
The southern portion of Edgewater is within the Omni CRA's boundaries.
Northeast Overtown
Overtown was one of only a few areas in the segregated City of Miami where black residents were allowed
to live or operate businesses. Because Overtown had to serve all the needs for its residents, it developed
with a variety of different building types, along with a dense mixed -use land use. Overtown suffered from
overcrowding and many problems related to poverty, but it was also successful and was known as the
"Harlem of the South." After the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and the discriminatory urban renewal
projects to create 1-95 and 1-395 through Overtown, the population began to diminish. A number of housing
programs from HUD to various local CDCs have aspired to improve living conditions but it continues to face
many problems. Today the historic black community of Overtown faces enormous pressure from
speculative buying, demolition, and neglected properties as values in Wynwood, Edgewater and Downtown
continue to increase. The northeastern portion of Overtown is within the Omni CRA's boundaries.
The CRA's programs in residential rehabs, job creation, historic preservation, housing affordability, and
home ownership will preserve and enhance the culture of Overtown, enabling residents to stay and enjoy
a heightened quality of life.
South Wynwood
The warehouse portion of Wynwood was a fashion manufacturing and wholesale district for central Miami.
Its large boxy warehouses, truck traffic, and treeless streets left it mostly neglected except for a few art
galleries. In the early 2000s with the advent of Art Basel and Wynwood rapidly became an art destination
and a worldwide name. Retail prices have skyrocketed pushing out small businesses, galleries, artists, and
long-time residents of the neighborhood as new retail opens up.
South Wynwood has been slower to develop than the rest of the arts district, due to a number of industrial
and institutional uses, but property values continue to increase and affordable rents for businesses and
housing are an ongoing concern.

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of
Miami -Dade County (PAC) has become one of the
world's leading performing arts organizations and
venues. Since opening in 2006, the Arsht Center, a 501C3
non-profit organization, has emerged as a leader in
presenting innovative programming that mirrors South
Florida's diversity as well as a catalyst for billions of
dollars in new development in the downtown area.
The Arsht Center presents nearly 400 events each year
as well as free programming for the community and an
arts education program that serves nearly 60,000
children each year.

The Miami Entertainment Complex (MEC), completed
in 2016, features two fully operational sound stages
of 15,000 square feet each with a 50-foot roof as well
as about 15,000 square feet of offices, editing suites
and even a school for when kids need to be on set.
The MEC is now called Viacom International Studios,
after its Operating Film and Television production
firm. Viacom shoots much of its Latin American
television at these studios and employs hundreds of
workers when they are filming a show. They have also
brought the community of local filmmakers and
media creatives in for tours of the facility and
technical workshops.

Historic Preservation
The 2010 Plan identifies buildings within the district that are designated as historic and states that Historic
Preservation is important to the community heritage and neighborhood experience. The CRA has helped
preserve many of these wonderful structures and endeavors to continue the preservation of both historic
buildings and the culture that they represent and embody.
Miami Woman's Club
The Miami Woman's club is undergoing a complete restoration and
will soon host a variety of restaurants and civic uses.Toot
Firehouse No. 2
Omni CRA has renovated the historic City of Miami Firehouse No. 2,
which had fallen into total disrepair, has now been restored and is
being used as the offices of the CRA.
Dorsey Library
Built in 1941, Dorsey Memorial Library was the first City -built library
in Miami, and one of the only libraries to allow black patrons to sit
and read. Although it had various uses for many years, it has sat
_jaw& empty since the 1980s due to a funding shortfall. Although it had
been declared an historic structure, it had not been preserved or
L protected, and it had not fulfilled its potential as a free and public
library. In 2016 the Omni CRA pledged $850,000 to leverage the
City's commitment to rehabilitate this historic structure and has met
with the community to determine character of use, and the nature of what a 21'Y century library serving
the neighborhood from an historic building would entail.
Citizen's Bank Building
The Omni CRA has purchased the historic Citizen's Bank building on
14th Street and Miami Avenue, to renovate, restore and activate as
an anchoring retail, dining or cultural venue, with offices above.
With paired Corinthian columns and arched entrances, this
Neoclassical building is sited on a major intersection of what
promises to be a lively neighborhood center. The prominent Citizens
Bank represents a fashionable architectural trend in 1920s South
Florida of classically inspired building designs. Constructed during the Land Boom years, this building is a
reminder of a time when local architects were seeking to create a visual identity for a new retail district
serving locals and visitors alike.
Miami City Cemetery
The Miami City Cemetery is a small oasis of calm in an urbanizing neighborhood. The trees and quiet street
should be maintained and enhanced. The CRA has recently completed a tree inventory and maintenance
recommendations for this special park.
Vera Building
Newly designated in 2019, the Vera Building was one of the first "workforce housing" buildings built in the
City of Miami during the boom years of the 1920s. The CRA hopes to fully restore the fapade and windows,
and to attract a tenant to operate the building as part of the fledgling Miami Avenue Entertainment District.

0 2-Way Conversions — N Miami Ave; NE 1st Ave; NE 2nd Ave; NE 171" Street
o Water & Sewer upgrades
Chapter 6 of the 2010 Plan, "Capital Improvement Costs & Priorities" summarizes the projected capital
improvement costs using order -of -magnitude estimates to provide the CRA a guide for development of
CRA implementation strategies. Chapter 7 of the Plan "Financing Plan" acknowledges that full funding is
not available to undertake all of the projects at the same time, that there is a need to engage the private
sector, identify other sources of funding, and establishes principles on which the public financing strategy
will be based to minimize public investment toward completion of the projects.
The City of Miami Omni CRA Assessment of Need (AON) for Extension of Time Frame for the District
provides the justification for the extension of time to complete redevelopment within the CRA district. The
AON lists projects that have been completed, on -going projects and planned projects.
On -Going and Planned Projects
Based on review of the AON and the Annual Reports, following is the list and description of on -going and
planned projects that have yet to be completed and are in Section 5, Projects and Strategies, of the 2010
CRA Plan.
• Miami Herald Properties —the 2010 plan states that these properties are keyto the redevelopment
of the Omni CRA. The CRA plan includes several alternative concept plans and includes
development / preservation / redevelopment of the following and including the potential for
200,000+ square feet of retail, 200,000+ square feet of office, 3900 units and PAC parking.
• City of Miami and Miami -Dade County School Board Property — the 2010 plan says that there are
numerous opportunities for public/private partnerships for redevelopment of School Board and
City properties including new housing with mixed -income, new educational facilities, and new
parking for the PAC and the Media/ Entertainment district. The plan says that potential
development includes 100,000+ square feet of retail, 75,000+ square feet of office, 800 units and
PAC parking.
• Proposed Zoning Changes —the 2010 plan proposes a number of zoning changes that are important
to stimulate redevelopment within the CRA district. Those changes generally include "atlas
changes", the creation of a new special district (SD-6.2), development of inclusionary zoning for
housing, and development of design guidelines.
• Neighborhood Greenspace—The 2010 plan states that because of the anticipated development of
new residential units, it is imperative that additional greenspace be developed. The AON includes
2
1-6
Packet Pg. 135
2'.5a
Land Acquisition and other projects have been completed but does not specify what lands have
been acquired.
• Streetscapes —the 2010 plan identifies streetscapes as one of the most important components of
the public realm and that they have a direct impact on the type and quality of redevelopment and
economic potential. The AON identifies streetscapes as Planned projects and states that they
should include improved sidewalks, lighting, landscaping and street furniture, although they do not
specify which streets. The 2010 plan includes a streetscape "pilot project" at the PAC, and both
Primary and Secondary streets that need streetscaping, and the description appears to be similar
to the "complete" streets approach to streetscaping.
• Historic Preservation —the 2010 plan states that historic buildings should be restored and that they
embody the heritage of the community and enhance neighborhoods. It identifies eight (8)
properties that have a historic designation, that they are in significant disrepair, and surround
development should recognize the scale and character of these properties and take measures to
ensure that they remain community assets. Based on review of the Annual Reports several historic
preservation projects are completed, several underway and a few yet to begin.
• Transportation and infrastructure — this section of the plan identifies several projects that are
necessary to improve the redevelopment district. The AON notes several projects having been
completed including the tunnel although the CRA is paying debt service on the tunnel. Projects
which are either on -going or planned include:
o Port of Miami Tunnel — complete but paying debt service
0 17t" Street / FEC Crossing
0 2-Way Conversions — N Miami Ave; NE 1st Ave; NE 2nd Ave; NE 17t" Street
o Water & Sewer upgrades
Strategies
In addition to physical projects, the 2010 plan identifies "Social Needs Strategies" which are provided as a
framework for improvements to the delivery of human services and groups them into three general
categories.
• Improve Human Services Delivery
• Improve Employment Opportunities and upward Job Mobility
• Foster Small Business Development

Packet Pg. 136
2'.Sa
Conclusion
From 2013 to 2017, the CRA focused its resources on several historic preservation projects, North Bayshore
Streetscape, NE 141" Street Infrastructure and Streetscape, payment of debt service for the Performing Arts
Center, Community Policing, greenspace improvements to the Margaret Pace Park, Maurice A. Ferre Park,
the Miami Entertainment Complex, the Port Tunnel, land acquisition, and streetlight/landscape
maintenance.
Section 7 of the 2010 Plan, Financing Plan, acknowledges that the total cost of improvements far exceeds
the anticipated revenues of the CRA, and states that investment of the private sector and other grant/public
sources are necessary to undertake the projects identified in the plan. Consequently, not all projects have
been completed. The matrix illustrates that as projects are completed in 2015, other projects commenced
in 2016 including Omni Park Greenspace, Dorsey Library Citizens Bank and Woman's Club historic
preservation, business and residential rehabilitation programs, housing, School Board Property, business
incentive grants, and the 1-395 project.
Based on the information in the 2010 CRA Plan, the AON and the Annual Reports from 2013 to 2017,
because the total cost of all projects in the 2010 CRA Plan requires a variety of public and private funding
sources, implementation of projects must be phased over time. With the projects shown in the matrix
above as being completed the other on -going and planned projects can be phased -in as funding becomes
available.

Chapter 2 Public Involvement
This update of the Omni Area Community Redevelopment Plan is the continuation of efforts from prior
plans adopted in 2006 and updated in 2009 and 2010. In 2005 a public participation process was conducted
that included numerous individual meeting Omni -area stakeholders and various neighborhood advisory
committees, as well as a steering committee comprised of CRA Board member and City Commissioner,
neighborhood business and property owners, representatives of the Performing Arts Center Trust and the
Florida Department of Transportation.
The 2009 update included public hearings for
adoption of the Finding of Necessity to
expand the boundary of the CRA districts, and
the adoption hearings.
This plan update included an Assessment of
Need for an extension of timeframe for the
redevelopment district, as well as input from
area stakeholders in a public involvement
meeting. The meetings and stakeholder
conversations reviewed history of the CRA,
past accomplishments, current projects, and
to obtain input from stakeholders on what
other projects should be included in the plan.
Input from the meeting included comments
addressing current projects, identification of
priorities and the addition of some new projects and were as follows:
Transit connections are important. These systems should consider premium and innovative
transportation. v
_
Affordable housing is a priority for the area. The style and focus of housing should be considered E
O
including housing for artists and makers.
0
The 1-395 improvement project is a priority and ensuring that lush landscapes are installed as part
of the project.
a
Construction of infrastructure to support new development is important, including the
construction of sidewalks and pedestrian amenities. s
x
w
The traffic on NE 2nd Avenue is an issue, and that the street should be able to accommodate all o
modes of transportation. ti
The CRA should invest in small parks. With minimal investment in benches, trash receptacles, _
m
maintenance, and good design these parklets could become community assets s
There should be a focus on park improvements including those that would be pedestrian friendly
and add activities. a

Chapter 3 Existing Conditions
Existing Infrastructure Conditions
Infrastructure within the Omni CRA was evaluated to determine existing conditions and where deficiencies
in government -owned facilities exist. This includes: roadways, sidewalks, curbs, lighting, water, sewer, and
stormwater drainage. The following is a summary of these findings. It should be noted that these are
deficiencies of the existing facilities and not any indication of future needs for such. This updated
redevelopment plan includes strategies and implementation funding to remedy these deficiencies as well
as for upgrading facilities to better serve future needs and the anticipated increases in population and use.
Streets/Roadways
Asphalt deficiencies may include significant cracks, potholes, depressions, and/or overall wear. A majority
of streets west of NE 2nd Avenue and NE 2nd Avenue itself exhibit these deficiencies, while east of NE 2nd
Avenue deficiencies are not quite as evident, however, several streets including NE 2nd Court, NE 4th
Avenue, NE 181h Street and segments of North Bayshore Drive have such issues. The only area where
roadway is currently not found is an area where it appears a segment of NE 171h existed between NE Miami
Place and NE 2nd Avenue though this area is currently private property.
No such deficiencies were noted along US 1, the CRA area south of 1-395 or on that portion of the CRA
located on Watson Island.
In total, there are approximately 4,000 linear feet of roadway that require asphalt with 4,200 linear feet
that require rebuilding.
A number of roadways appear to be designed for a higher speed traffic than is generally appropriate in a
pedestrian -oriented downtown setting, including wider and more roadway lanes than necessary, larger
curb returns than necessary, one-way movement where unnecessary, conflicting and dangerous
intersections, and this should be addressed in future road improvement projects.

significant area lacking sidewalks along
surface roadways within the CRA area on
Watson Island.
There were no sidewalk deficiencies located in the area of the CRA south of 1-395. The infrastructure review
noted approximately 17,000 linear feet of sidewalk that needs to be installed or replaced.

Curbs
The majority of curbing needs are in areas
located west of NE 2nd Avenue. Larger areas

Avenues, NE 191" Terrace between NE
Miami Court and NE 2nd Avenue, North
Miami Avenue between NE17th Terrace

there is a lack of curbing on the surface
streets that are within the CRA area on
Watson Island.
There is no need for any curbs in the area of
the CRA south of 1-395.
Exhibit 3-2 Curb Deficiencies Approximately 16,500 linear feet of curbing
needs to be installed/replaced. This curbing will require gutters along that linear footage as well. The
installation of curbing where it does not exist will also necessitate the installation of drainage structures
since stormwater will no longer drain into swales or other pervious locations. Up to 24 drainage structures
along with approximately 3,500 linear feet of drainage pipe would be required to mitigate stormwater
issues with this new curb and gutter installation.

Exhibit 3-3 Lighting Deficiencies
Street lights were also reviewed as part of this
investigation. Exhibit 4-4 shows areas that are
deficient in lighting due to insufficient quantities of
lights. Most of the CRA area was found to have
sufficient lighting. However, several areas were
found to be deficient. Roadway segments in need of
lighting include: NW 22nd Avenue between NW 5th
and NW 2nd Avenues, approximately 300 feet of NW
22nd Lane west of NE 2nd Ave., about 50 feet of NW
22nd Terrace west of 2nd Avenue, the portions of both
NW 15th and 16th Streets from NE 1s' Avenue to the
FEC railroad tracks, and NE 1st Avenue between 13th
and 14th Streets. The streets underneath the viaduct
of 1-395 are also underlit, and better lighting should
be included with the 1-395 redesign project.
No lighting deficiencies were noted east of NE 2nd Avenue nor within those areas of the CRA located south
of 1-395 or on Watson Island.
The lighting deficiencies within these areas could be remedied with the installation of 14 new street lights.
Such lights would need to include sufficient electrical transmission lines to power the lights.
Stormwater Drainage
The current need for drainage is unknown without a full drainage study being performed. However, as more
development occurs on what is now vacant land and as more urban -style curb and gutter is installed along
roadways in the CRA, the need for drainage systems will increase exponentially.

Future Land Use City of Miami
Since adoption of 2010 Redevelopment Plan,
some changes to the Future Land Use Map have
been made although areas east of NE 2nd
Avenue remain primarily Restricted Commercial
and those areas west of NE 2nd Avenue remain
primarily General Commercial.
The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
(MCNP) designates the Omni neighborhood
primarily as a specially designated "High Density
Multifamily Residential Area" allowing up to 500
units per acre in residential density.

Recreation —the primary intent is to conserve open space and green spaces of a park while allowing
access and uses which will not interfere with the preservation of any significant environmental
features which exist in the park.
Institutional — allows for federal, state and local government activities, major public health or
private health, recreational, cultural, religious or educational activities, and major transportation
facilities and public utilities.
Medium Density Multifamily Residential — allows residential structures to a maximum density of
65 units per acre.
Restricted Commercial — allows multifamily residential density, general office, clinics and
laboratories, auditoriums, libraries, convention facilities, places of worship, and primary and
secondary schools.
General Commercial — allows all activities in the Restricted Commercial category as well as
wholesaling and distribution activities that generally serve the needs of other businesses.
Central Business District — allows all activities in the Restricted Commercial and Institutional
designations, as well as residential facilities.
Light Industrial — is intended to allow mixed -use development to facilitate the ability of developing
a mixed occupancy within a unit in which more than one type of use is provided under live/work
or work/live zoning districts.
Industrial — intended to allow manufacturing, assembly and storage activities generally including
uses which generate noise, smoke, fumes, illumination, traffic and other impacts if not properly
controlled.
It should be noted that the City's Future Land Use designations will define the limitations on the type, size,
height, number, and proposed use of buildings. Any of these items that are not regulated by the Future

adopted in 2006 and updated in 2009 stated that at
the time, the existing zoning districts in the Omni
area are largely defined by higher densities and
restricted commercial east of NE 2nd Avenue and
lower densities and a wider array of commercial
uses on the west. The 2009 plan proposed a number
of zoning changes which were to be accomplished
in the second phase of work. At the time, the zoning
districts included R-3 multifamily medium density,
C-1 Restricted Commercial, C-2 Liberal Commercial,
CBD Central Business District, G/I Government
Institutional, Industrial, SD-6 Central Commercial
Residential, SD-6.1 Central Commercial Residential,
and PR Parks/Recreation.
The Miami 21 zoning regulations have been adopted which take a form -based approach to zoning and
development regulations. Current zoning designations within the Omni Redevelopment Area are as follows:
T3-0 (Overtown Residential)— this is a Duplex Suburban residential zone allowing up to eighteen
(18) dwelling units per acre, but only 2 units per parcel.
T4-R— a General Urban residential zone allowing up to thirty-six (36) dwelling units per acre.
T5-0 (Generally within Wynwood NRD)— is the Urban Center Zone allowing up to sixty-five (65)
units per acre along with some commercial uses.
T6-8— Urban Core Transect, which includes the highest density and greatest variety of uses with a
by -right building height of 8 stories and a bonus density to allow up to 12 stories.
T6-36B-0 (Generally, east of NE 2nd Avenue) — Urban Core Transect, which includes the highest
density and greatest variety of uses with a by -right building height of 36 stories and a bonus density
to allow up to 60 stories.
T6-24A-0 and T6-2413-0 (Areas west of NE 2nd Avenue) — Urban Core Transect, allows a variety of
uses but is limited by -right to 24 stories with a bonus density of up to 48 stories.
D-1 and D-2 (Along FEC Tracks and NW 14t" Street) —Work Place Districts, these districts implement
the Light Industrial and Industrial land use designation. D-1 allows residential density up to 36 units
per acre along with lodging uses, office, commercial, civic, civil support, educational and industrial
uses. D-2 allows office, commercial, civic, civil support, educational and industrial uses.
CS / Cl — these are both Civic Use districts, with CS intended for civic spaces and including docks
and open-air retail; Cl is intended for civic institutional uses including docks, open-air retail, adult
day care, community support facilities, and other similar uses.
Districts that include residential uses as depicted in this map are those that contain the approximately 6,000
dwelling units within the CRA.
It should be noted that Limitations on the type, size, height, number, and proposed use of buildings not
regulated by the City's land use will be guided by the limitations on these zoning categories.

Chapter 4 Strategic Plan
Purpose
This section is designed to identify the major strategies, key and catalyst projects and programs that are
recommended to be implemented by the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). It includes
projects outlined in the adopted 2009 Omni CRA Community Redevelopment Plan Update (CRP) (which by
this reference is hereby made an appendix to this document) in conformance with the original 1986 Plan.
It will also address some new projects and programs that are necessary to further the mission of the CRA
and assist in the elimination of slum and/or blighting conditions outlined in the May 2009 Finding of
Necessity Report for the expansion of the Miami CRA to include the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area and
the 2018 City of Miami Omni CRA Assessment of Need For Extension of Time Frame for the District.
While key components of the CRA's future work plan are outlined, this section is not intended to be an
exhaustive list of the projects and programs to be undertaken. This section has been created with several
specific projects/programs that should be undertaken and all of the mentioned projects/programs should
be considered illustrative of the types of activities the Omni CRA should undertake under this Plan. In
implementing these projects and programs, the CRA should continue to keep in mind that regular review
of conditions of the neighborhood and needs of its residents and property owners is vital in creating
effective and cost-efficient projects and programs.
Administration
This section will include an authorization of CRA administration activities over the lifetime of the CRA.
Administering a CRA is often about networking and interacting with residents, business owners, property
owners, investors, and developers. The CRA moves forward with its mission due to the interpersonal
relationships and trust that develops between the private sector and the CRA, and the residents and the
CRA. Advocacy for private projects and for better services are often the mainstay of the CRA Executive
Director and the CRA staff. This sometimes conflicts with the role of the local government, which is why it
is critical that the CRA staff remain independent and not report through the City bureaucracy but through
the Chair of the CRA to the CRA Board and that the CRA maintain its independence. The Omni CRA currently
has such a structure and this Plan update shall continue to authorize the CRA be staffed as the Board sees
appropriate and shall authorize the incurring and payment of expenditures normal and customary for such
an agency and for the activities it undertakes in accordance with this Plan.
The CRA shall continue to have all of the authority to operate the CRA as may be granted under §163, Part
III, Fla. Stat. and any interlocal agreements with the City of Miami and/or the Miami -Dade Board of County
Commissioners. This shall include the right of the CRA to engage staff and outside professionals necessary
to plan, construct, carry -out, and/or maintain projects and programs contemplated by this redevelopment
plan. The CRA shall retain the rights to enter into agreements, purchase goods and services required to
conduct allowable redevelopment activities. This may also include the right to purchase and hold land
where necessary for a contemplated activity.
As mentioned, networking is critically important to the administration of the CRA. Interaction with other
key individuals in other relevant organizations assists is making people aware of the opportunities in the
CRA. The Omni CRA benefits from relationships with developers that build mixed -use and commercial
facilities of the type desired by the CRA, local historical organizations when promoting the history of the
4-20
Packet Pg. 149
2.5a
Omni area, realtors with ties to the developers and retail site locators, and with key people in the tourism,
hotel and restaurant industries. There are numerous organizations both statewide and locally that the CRA
should maintain membership/relationships with or consider joining and/or being involved. These
organizations include, but are not limited to:
1. Urban Land Institute
2. Miami Association of Realtors
3. Builders Association of South Florida
4. National Association of Office and Industrial Parks
5. Visit Florida (The Florida Tourism Marketing Corporation)
6. Greater Miami and the Beaches Convention and Visitors Bureau
7. Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association
8. Greater Miami and the Beaches Hotel Association
9. Dade Historic Trust
10. Catalyst Miami
11. Miami Homes for All
12. The Metropolitan Center at FIU
13. Local Universities and Colleges
Involvement with these groups and any other similar groups will promote the CRA and its vision, as well as
provide direct contact with individuals and companies that may be attracted to investment opportunities
in the Omni CRA. The CRA does not need to get involved in or join every organization identified, however,
CRA staff and Board members should attempt to take an active role and participate in membership activities
and events hosted by relevant organizations.

Redevelopment Strategies
The remaining subsections shall provide a general description of on -going and planned projects that they
CRA may undertake or in which the CRA may have some involvement during the course of its existence. It
is important to note that this is an illustrative list of potential projects and is not an exhaustive list of projects
that will be undertaken. The CRA is often required to react to ever changing conditions. This plan therefore,
provides the CRA flexibility to adjust to market and political considerations as they occur without impeding
its ability to continue moving the redevelopment program forward by providing such flexibility while
complying with the provisions of §163, Part III, Fla. Stat. This plan is not intended to be a major redirection
of the CRA's work plan, and thus many of the activities described below can also be found in "Section 5,
Projects and Strategies", of the 2010 CRA Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan. Due to this, 2010 Redevelopment
Plan has been included an appendix to this document to be used as a guiding document; where text in this
plan body conflicts with that in the appendix containing the 2010 Redevelopment Plan, direction provided
by this document, and not the appendix, shall take precedence.
The following will start with some strategies that will affect multiple projects (i.e. community benefit
strategy), a presentation of specific projects, and will conclude with strategies of a more general nature
(i.e. job creation, business assistance, affordable housing). This order of presentation is not to indicate any
order of priority or preference. Prioritization of projects/strategies is indicated through policy of the CRA
Board and through its annual budget.
Implementation of a Community Benefits Strategy
In any project assisted by the CRA, with the exception of projects in which the CRA is undertaking on its
own or working with a partner to provide workforce, low, or very -low income housing, the CRA should seek
to obtain a package of community benefits from the project owner or developer. Community benefits
would include assurances that the existing CRA residents/businesses will benefit from the new project
through such items (but not limited to) housing and employment opportunities or other social service
activities. To be more specific, such benefits could include but not be limited to:
1) The inclusion of an appropriate amount of below -market rate units. These units may be provided
at rates for workforce housing (less than 140% AMI) or for low income residents (less than 80%
AMI). This would ensure the neighborhood will retain its affordability, reduce the potential for
existing residents to be displaced, and afford area workers an opportunity to live near where they
work. The target workforce for these types of units are often teachers, clerical workers, entry level
professionals, and other service workers. This could also include other housing options for students
with limited incomes.
2) The CRA should also strive to ensure these projects maintain appropriate urban design standards
that are consistent with the vision for the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area as a complete and active,
pedestrian -friendly, urban neighborhood. To this end, the CRA should be a part of the review of
any project and encourage components such as, but not limited to, the following when
appropriate:
Architectural components and placement of these components in a manner that
enhances building/development functionality and appearance.
b. Activated ground floor uses (including the street side of structured parking)
c. Structured parking that includes parking for the general public
d. Public plazas or other gathering spaces included within the project
4-22
Packet Pg. 151
2.5.a
e. Pedestrian -friendly streetscapes that include:
i. Wide sidewalks to allow for pedestrian use and room for activation such as for a
sidewalk cafe.
ii. Shade trees
iii. Benches
iv. Trash receptacles
v. Pedestrian level -lighting on appropriately designed light poles
3) Each project should provide other benefits that may include:
a. A percentage of construction jobs earmarked for employees of the Omni CRA
Redevelopment Area (possibly expanded to include Overtown or other adjacent
neighborhoods or zip codes)
b. Shared parking with availability for public parking
c. Availability of housing units to district residents (especially below market rate units)
d. Availability of small retail space at below market rents for local "mom and pop" retail
businesses owned by district residents
e. General commitments of support of the community which may include but not be
limited to:
i. Joining or otherwise supporting local non-profit agencies providing services within
the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area
ii. Encouraging employees, residents, businesses to volunteer for local causes
iii. Providing forjob fairs, internships, or other on-the-job training where appropriate
Public Improvements in Conjunction with Private Projects
Improvements in the public space and in areas of private property that can be utilized by the general public
(parking, plazas, sidewalks, etc) should be encouraged as community benefits to be provided by the Q
developer/owner of any project. When such projects are not undertaken by the private developer or they
serve a larger neighborhood, and whether projects are undertaken with CRA assistance or without, there x
may be a need for the CRA to invest in infrastructure around a project, or in limited instances within the c
project. The CRA should consider and possibly invest in improvements to publicly -owned facilities should
they be reasonable and if they are improvements to appearance, functionality or an overall increase in;
quality -of -life for those residing, visiting, or doing business in the area. These improvements may include,
but not be limited to: s
1. Housing Affordability
a
2. Streetscapes - which may include one or more of the following:
a. Wide sidewalks
b. Traffic calming features
C. Trees
d. Additional decorative or thematic street lighting

New Development Projects
There are a significant number of projects planned for the Omni CRA area. The following is a discussion of
the major projects
Miami -Dade School Board Properties
The Miami -Dade School Board owns several sizeable parcels within the Omni CRA area. These
include (but are not limited to) the School Board's Administration Building with an adjacent parking
structure and surface parking lot, the buildings currently housing iPrep Academy and WLRN, School
Board Parcel 7 to the south of the WLRN building, and a few blocks from these key sites, Phillis
Wheatley Elementary School. The City of Miami, Omni CRA and Miami -Dade School Board have all
recognized these properties are located in the middle of the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area and
are prime for redevelopment and thus have begun to explore a potential partnership for this
purpose. The CRA should continue to work with the City and School Board to seek desirable
development of these underutilized sites.
4-24
Packet Pg. 153
2.5.a
Exhibit 4-1 —school board properties
The proximity of these properties to downtown, 1-95, 1-395, 1-195, the waterfront and cultural
amenities, as well as having two nearby Metromover stations, including one in the center of the
area makes them a key target for development. Given the area's zoning which allows for residential
and mixed -use products, with bonus units available if affordable housing is included in the project,
their potential is even further enhanced.
With the CRA's guidance, these properties could anchor new residential projects already being built Q
in the area with mixed -use projects with affordable housing and strong retail, service and
s
restaurant options that do not currently exist. Businesses that locate in this area would provide for x
w
residents and visitors to the area's entertainment/cultural facilities, but would also assist in o
attracting new office uses to the area. ti
In order to utilize these properties, the CRA will need to work with the City and School Board to =
m
relocate the uses the School Board has in its current buildings. It would be beneficial for the CRA s
to endeavor to have some of these facilities that bring workers and students to the area relocate
within the CRA. These workers and students can help bring energy and provide a necessary a
customer base for pioneer businesses locating to new development
Of particular note, in designing redevelopment of the Phillis Wheatley Elementary School site, the
CRA should seek to maximize the provision of affordable housing for incomes of teachers and other
School Board employees.
While providing for new development and a more efficient use of the School Board Properties, the
public entities involved all have a more community -oriented mission than profit. Therefore this
4-25
Packet Pg. 154
2.5.a
partnership can and should focus on creating strong community benefits through any
development. With this in mind there are several key aspects of development that the CRA should
endeavor to have included in the projects subject to the partnership. These aspects could include,
but not be limited to:
• The CRA may have need to support projects in or around the School Board properties
through investment in the public realm. While developers may participate with public
improvements related to their projects, it is not always the case. Additionally,
infrastructure in the area may need upgrading or an increase in capacity to safely and
efficiently handle an increase in use.
• The CRA should consider and possibly invest in improvements to publicly -owned facilities
should they be reasonably regarding as improvements to appearance, functionality or an
overall increase in quality -of -life for those residing, visiting, or doing business in the area.
These improvements any include, but not be limited those outlined previously in the
subsection on Public Improvements in Conjunction with Public Projects.
• If the CRA is not engaged as a partner one or more projects on the School Board sites, the
CRA should work closely with the City to have review authority, or at minimum review
consultation, on any projects proposed for the sites.
This program has the greatest potential to change the Omni CRA area since the
construction/opening of the Adrienne Arsht Center and therefore should be a high priority for the
CRA.
KEYACTIVITIES FOR THE CRA TO UNDERTAKE:
a) Foster a close working relationship with the City and School Board to redevelop School Board
property in the Omni CRA to the greater benefit of the public.
b) Develop new projects on School Board properties, in conjunction with the City and School Board, E
promoting the envisioned urban character of these sites and the overall CRA area. E
O
c) Seek community benefit concessions from any selected developer(s).
0
d) Implement any necessary public improvements in accordance with the subsection on Public ti
Improvements in Conjunction with Private Projects. Q
e) Relocation of the School Board administrative offices and WLRN to another site within the Omni
CRA if possible. X
w
f) Increase job opportunities for residents of the CRA and possibly for those of adjacent
neighborhoods. ti
g) Provide a mixed -income of housing on these sites including below -market rates for affordability to
workforce and lower income families and individuals as well as a student population. E
s
h) Enhance street -level activity through ground floor retail uses and pedestrian -friendly streetscape
amenities. a
i) Relocation and support for the iPrep School if and when it is affected by redevelopment of its
existing site.
The CRA should seek to maximize the availability of housing on this site for teachers and for local
area students (generally college or emancipated students) on the Phillis Wheatley Elementary
School site.

PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT:
a) School Board Parcel 7 — The CRA may participate with the School Board in the
development of the School Board's parcel between NE 1st Court and NE 2nd Avenue
south of NE 14t" Street. The School Board is seeking to partner with the adjacent
property owner on development of these sites.
b) Continue on -going discussions with the School Board and City of Miami, the Miami
Parking Authority, and other stakeholders to partner with one another and private
developers to develop the School Board -owned Properties
c) Partner with the City and neighboring landowners to enhance educational
opportunities on City Owned land.
d) Partner with the County and the School Board to increase housing opportunities within
improved Phillis Wheatley school site.

1-395 "Underdeck"
The Florida Department of Transportation has committed to creating a park on land it currently
owns adjacent to and under 1-395, much of which is currently vacant or used for parking. This park
will utilize this land on which the roadway bridge will be constructed. The park will both be adjacent
to the bridge and under it.
The CRA should work closely with the City and FDOT, and any selected Operator to ensure any open
space that is built is both attractive and functional. The park will be an active link from Omni to the
Downtown district and thus clear useable pathways need to exist; the Baywalk may have to connect
southward through this park for lack of any other way to cross the 1-395 right-of-way. In addition,
the open space needs to be designed in a way that will ensure it can be maintained. Hidden spaces
under the bridge may be attractive to the homeless, unwanted graffiti artists, criminals, and other
persons who will negatively add to the park and its surroundings. In addition, the right mix of plant
materials needs to be installed as the bridge's shadow will cause varying amounts of sunlight at
different locations within the park based on the location of the sun over the course of daylight
hours.
There may be elements of the park the CRA wants to include or the overall design may be over the
budget for the project. In this case, the CRA can participate in the costs to ensure a design that is
desired by the community.

Housing Affordability
While projects/programs in this section are not presented in any order of importance, it should be noted
that housing affordability is one of the key programs for the CRA to undertake. A key tenant of community
building is that the most complete communities, those that provide the best environment for their
residents, are those that contain people of mixed incomes. When residents in all phases of life, and those
with varying types of employment from entry level professionals to food servers, to teachers, to doctors,
and to CEO's of Fortune 500 companies can all live in one area, the community thrives. In today's housing
market however, it is particularly difficult to maintain and expand workforce housing (units for households
earning up to 120% of AMI) and lower income housing (units for households earning below 80% of AMI).
The City of Miami has set an aggressive target of developing 12,000 new or preserved affordable units by
2024. While the Omni CRA may not have sufficient funding by that time to create a significant portion of
those units, in later years as the CRA's increment revenue expands, it should be able to make a major impact
in providing for such units.
While thousands of new housing units have been developed with the City of Miami and thousands more
are slated for development within the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area alone, most have been built as
market rate or high -end luxury units. It is unlikely that any significant number of single family homes will be
built in the district at any time in the future due to the cost of land and the cost of construction. Most new
units and just about all the units that will be potentially built in Omni will be in multi -family buildings and
many will be rental units. Additionally, very few units built in modern, multi -family buildings contain more
than two bedrooms which make them unfriendly for families.
Historically, housing in Omni was not high -end luxury except for buildings along the water that provided
views of Biscayne Bay. However, with increasing desire to live in Miami and with the congestion that one
now experiences in Brickell and Downtown, and with the opening of the Performing Arts Center,
investments being made in Maurice A. Ferre Park, easy vehicular access to the interstate highways, and
access to mass transit via Metromover stations, more and more people are seeing the benefits of living in
Omni. Developers have noticed this as well as the high allowable density in much of the area surrounding
the Adrienne Arsht Center. Several new high-rise projects are currently under construction and others are
being proposed. In fact, this redevelopment plan strongly encourages such high density residential to be
built on the Miami Herald Properties and the School Board Properties.
Given these conditions, the CRA needs to find ways to ensure housing remains affordable for all income
levels within the district, but particularly for those households meeting workforce or lower income
guidelines. It is also important to make sure that housing is available for families.
Two major regulatory methods can be employed to provide affordable housing. Inclusionary zoning and
density bonuses.
Inclusionary housing is where the City mandates that each new housing project provides a certain
percentage of units for households making below a pre -established income level. While this ensures a
certain number of units, such a program could have the effect of increasing costs to renters/buyers to the
other residents of the project as they would have to make up for revenue that would be lost by providing
the lower -cost units rather than selling or renting them at market rates. Additionally, such programs are
much more successful when the housing market is booming and costs exceed revenues by a greater
percentage. Should the CRA wish to pursue such a regulation, it should be monitored to see if it remains
cost-effective to the housing provider to continue to develop.
The City already employs a Bonus Density program through its zoning code. In certain zoning districts,
developers can obtain the right to build more units on a property if a percentage of units on the property
4-31
Packet Pg. 160
2.5.a
are maintained as affordable for lower income residents. It is through this program that the CRA is hoping
to provide a significant number of units for workforce and lower income households within the School
Board Properties.
There are also several programmatic methods the CRA can employ to increase the supply of affordable
housing. All of the following methods will have the effect of lowering housing costs and can be implemented
by the CRA:
To Assist For -Profit Housing Providers in the CRA could:
1) Acquire land and sell or give it to a developer at below market cost.
2) Pay some portion of development costs such as impactor permit fees
3) Provide a direct cash subsidy in the form of a rebate equal to a percentage of the increases
in taxes paid over a defined period of time after completion if affordable units are
provided.
4) Undertake projects in the public realm that might otherwise be the responsibility of the
developer (i.e. streetscapes, sidewalks, roadway improvements)
5) Grant funds to assist in rehabilitation of an existing housing project.
6) Provide a liaison person knowledgeable in the development approval and building permit
processes in the City to shepherding the project through development approvals in an
efficient manner.
To Assist or partner with non-profit housing providers the CRA could:
1) Do any of the activities it could do for a for -profit developer.
2) Provide a cash grant to the non-profit to provide the affordable housing
3) Acquire and own housing units that it would then either lease to the non-profit a minimal
cost or in which the CRA could hire the non-profit to manage on its behalf.
4) Acquire and own land which it would lease to a non-profit to build upon for a minimal cost.
5) Create a Community Land Trust that would own the land upon which any such for -sale
housing would be built. With such an entity, the land trust would continue to own the land
that would then not be subject to property taxes. The building on the land would remain
taxable however.
To Assist Workforce or Lower Income Buyers the CRA could:
1) Provide down payment assistance.
2) Subsidize or guarantee interest on a mortgage.
3) Provide rehabilitation funds so a buyer could afford to purchase a unit with repair or
upgrading needs.
To Assist Workforce or Lower Income Renters the CRA could:
1) Provide rent subsidies for rental housing
2) Provide a grant or loan for first/last month's rent and security deposit.
Other programs the CRA may wish to undertake is one to ensure that those of limited means can afford to
stay in a home they already own. This could be in the form of:
4-32
Packet Pg. 161
2.5.a
1) Continuation of the CRA's Partnership with Miami -Dade Rehabilitation Assistance to help in
repairing housing units for owners with limited income.
2) Creation of a CRA program to provide assistance to repair, maintain, and upgrade homes to
maintain the livability of the housing unit.
3) Assistance for emergency repairs (i.e. roof, or plumbing emergencies)
4) Assistance for compliance with City code upon receipt of a notice/citation from the City.
5) Assistance to install energy efficiency upgrades that would reduce monthly and annual bills
related to living in the home.
In addition to these methods, the CRA should seek additional ways to reduce the cost of providing
affordable housing. The CRA could find unique and creative ways to reduce cost of providing housing that
may be applicable for all such projects or there may be specific costs associated with an individual project
that the CRA could pay for, undertake, or otherwise find a way to reduce with the understanding that
savings would be passed along to the resident and not added to the return on investment.
The CRA should also look at other programs it might be able to develop to assist target income residents
reduce costs to stay in and maintain their homes. Any such program that would provide reduced cost
maintenance or service provision would help these residents and simultaneously, maintain the stock of
affordable units in the district.

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts have been important in establishing the Omni CRA as a
destination. As the Miami Herald area and School Board properties area develop, it will be important to
support these uses/users and to maintain certain components to these facilities and to enhance the area
to ensure they remain a featured destination.
Parking is a key
component to these
facilities. Existing
parking lots in the area
are either privately
owned or property of
the Florida Department
of Transportation
(FDOT). The
development potential
for these sites is high
(and encouraged by this
Plan) and thus they will
not exist in perpetuity.
Some part of the FDOT property will be utilized for 1-395 widening. A project that is scheduled to be
completed in the Fall of 2023. In addition to use for the 1-395 widening, a large portion of the remaining
FDOT land is anticipated to become a public park. The CRA should seek opportunities to add additional
public parking in the area. This can be in the form of CRA or City purchased and/or constructed parking
(either structured or on -street) or by working with adjacent land owners/developers to provide for public
parking in their property or within their developments.
Efforts should also be taken to ensure that streets and sidewalks leading from public parking, drop-off/pick-
up sites, or mass transit facilities are safe with sufficient sidewalk size, condition, and visibility and
crosswalks are safely designed for the level of pedestrian use and vehicular traffic.
KEYACTIVITIES FOR THE CRA TO UNDERTAKE:
a) Increase public parking opportunities both on public and private land for these patrons of the
Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
b) Enhance safety along key pedestrian routes from parking areas and retail/restaurant areas within
the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area to the Adrienne Arsht Performing Arts Center and Knight
Concert Hall.
ON -GOING PROJECTS:
a) Locating and providing parking for the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
Annual funding of a portion of the Adrienne Arsht Center's debt and the CRA's annual funding of
cultural facilities within the CRA (which includes funding to this facility as well as others in the CRA).

Infrastructure
While there is existing infrastructure within the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area, there will be a
need overtime to increase capacity, modernize, and relocate utilities. The CRA should continuously
review conditions of various forms of infrastructure within the district and coordinate with the
responsible entities for each. This will allow the CRA to understand infrastructure issues within the
area including any noted deficiencies, work programs, and timelines for upgrading or
modernization. The CRA should participate or undertake infrastructure projects where such
involvement will promote desired development quicker or more efficiently than would otherwise
be undertaken by regularly responsible entities.
Roads and Streetscapes
One of the most important components of redevelopment is upgrades to area aesthetics and
functionality. The appearance of an area, and the condition of roads, sidewalks, and other
amenities within the public rights -of -way are key to quality of life. Increased quality of life drives
area desirability and thus increases private sector investment. Roads and streetscapes are key to
the public sector investment in the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area.
Several key projects have been undertaken to date including projects on 14t" Street, Bayshore
Drive, and NE 2nd Avenue. Projects similar to these should be undertaken throughout the CRA.
These projects should be designed to make more efficient use of the rights -of -way, add
components that cater more to pedestrians and bicycles than cars, and provide for activation of
sidewalks. A package of improvements that would implement a "complete streets" design within
the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area should be considered for any roadway/streetscape
improvement project.
In addition to enhanced streetscapes, it is imperative to keep roadways and sidewalks maintained 0
in a clean and safe condition. Exhibit 3-1 was developed from information gathered in the =
preparation of the Assessment of Need prepared in 2018 as part of the Omni CRA's request for an p
extension of time. This map shows areas deficient in one or more of the elements of a standard c
roadway. These deficiencies do not include any enhancements but instead identify facilities with
baseline issues such as potholes, raised sidewalks, broken curbing, and broken or missing lighting.
While this map is not intended to limit work to be done to these areas, it is indicative of issues Q
within the CRA district. As these facilities also have a limited lifespan, the CRA should regularly
s
monitor them and work with the City, County, or State to repair them, or work with these entities x
w
to rehabilitate or rebuild them. o
M
Efforts should also be made through roadway projects to enhance circulation through the district ~
in order to keep vehicles moving and ensure the safest, most efficient, and quickest routes to any =
m
destination within the district. To this end, the CRA should continuously review street design to s
ensure that bicycles, pedestrians and vehicles do not negatively interact in any area, that on -street 0
parking is safe and does not impede traffic, that traffic calming methods and devices are utilized to a
reduce accident points. In addition, the CRA should also consider the continued change of one-way
streets in the district to two-way streets where such a change would enhance circulation and
improve visibility for businesses along any such street.
4-35

Roads/Sidewalks
Roads and sidewalks should be upgraded and modernized to provide a minimum standard which
includes, but is not limited to:
1) Smooth, stable ride on a road surface with no major potholes, cracking, depressions, or
standing water for extended periods.
2) Sidewalks that are not lifting, buckled, or cracked and which meet all requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
3) Where appropriate, Curbs that are not cracked, lifting, or of insufficient height to convey
stormwater efficiently or prevent vehicles from encroaching on swales.
Lighting that is sufficient to illuminate the entire roadway and sidewalk area so as to provide
visibility and safety to users of the roadway/sidewalk.
Streetscapes
Streetscape projects should be undertaken throughout the district in order to give a sense of
neighborhood and safety as well as to enhance overall aesthetics. On streets with commercial,
mixed -use, and/or high density residential uses or future uses and where the street is activated or
to be activated, streetscapes should be designed to enhance the area, allow for use of sidewalks
for restaurant/cafe seating or other appropriate use, and to establish an area wide theme.
Streetscapes should include one or more "complete street" elements such as, but not limited to:
1) Trees
2) Bicycle lanes within street corridors
3) *Furniture — benches, trash receptacles, planters, etc.
4) Bus shelters and benches
5) *Ride share and mass transit drop-off/pull-outs
6) *Wayfinding signage (both pedestrian and vehicular level)
7) *Informational kiosks
8) Pedestrian -level street lighting
9) *Decorative street lighting
10) Wide, pedestrian -friendly sidewalks
11) Crosswalks differentiated through the use of alternative materials (i.e. stamped
asphalt/concrete, colored concrete, brick pavers)
Other such elements within the public space
*Lower density residential or industrial areas not on major corridors nor intended for dense urban -
styled development do not need to include these elements.
Transitions between different areas of the CRA such as between the Media/Entertainment district
and the Bayfront can be accomplished through subtle changes in overall streetscape elements.
These changes can be in the form of species of tree, style changes in street furniture, or style or
height of street lights.

The CRA should prioritize projects by Streets and/or street segments where investment has the
highest potential to increase private sector investment, activate the street into a lively business
destination, or provide safe avenues of travel from one area of the district to destination uses
within the district. This isn't to say priority projects will be undertaken first. The CRA will have to
weight a project's priority with budgetary constraints and efficiencies when it is possible to
collaborate on a project with another entity that may have a need to install utilities in that right-
of-way or may be undertaken a widening or upgrading project themselves as the owner of the
roadway/right-of-way. Expanding another entities project to include CRA desired work (at the
CRA's expense) is often a cost-effective method and also may prevent roads and sidewalks from
being closed and under construction for each individual project.
Water and Sewer
The Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) serves the Omni area with water and sewer
utilities. The entire of the Omni area has water and sewer availability through WASD and the
provision of such services are not anticipated to impede any redevelopment projects in the CRA.
This is not to say that there will not be a need to modernize and harden facilities to ensure
continued service. Water and sewer services have been provided throughout the County for quite
some time and it is not unusual to find water and wastewater lines that exceed 50 years of age
which is generally considered to be the average lifespan of such lines. Lift stations and pump
stations can also become problematic over time leading to unreliability in service. This unreliability
comes from both aging and, as has been experienced more recently, a heightened threat of the
loss of power due to natural disasters. Many utilities have begun to expand the number of such
facilities with automatic generators to ensure continued service through such events.
While provision of these services is generally paid for by user fees and outside grants, the CRA
should work with WASD to modernize these utilities during any major streetscape or roadway c�
rehabilitation in which the roadway surface is disturbed. This will ensure that newly reconstructed r_
roadways are not disturbed by water or wastewater main breaks and that residents and businesses p
are not inconvenienced by such occurrences. The CRA should also work with WASD to increase c
capacity, if a future need is established, when replacing water and wastewater facilities during a
road/streetscape project and assist in hardening lift and pump stations.
ti
a
The CRA may have to fund such projects that may be outside the normal and/or anticipated
timeline for WASD. In all such cases, the CRA should seek to lend funds to WASD until such time as
the project would have otherwise be undertaken. This can be in the form of cash, in -kind services w
(where installation is part of a larger CRA or City project), or the CRA can structure a program with M
WASD that allows it credits for work done. In the instance of a credit program, WASD could provide
credits to the CRA equal to the value, or some portion thereof, of work undertaken. The CRA could
then either sell these credits or grant them to developers to offset the cost of water/wastewater E
connection and/or impact fees. However, if such a repayment is not appropriate for an individual
s
project, the CRA may have to provide for the cost to ensure quality facilities within the district. a

2.5a
Stormwater Drainage
Many parts of the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area, as they exist today, were constructed at a time
when development was much less dense. Historically, stormwater was not a significant issue as
there was an abundance of undeveloped land onto which water could flow and percolate into the
ground. Additionally, few, if any environmental regulations were in place that required any storage
and/or filtration of stormwater. In addition, the South Florida region is now dealing with sea level
rise that will reduce capacity of existing stormwater facilities (due to higher groundwater levels)
while requiring more capacity.
The CRA should work with the City of Miami to keep close watch on areas of concern and ensure
that existing stormwater facilities continue to operate as designed. The CRA should be ready to
participate in programs to expand stormwater drainage systems where capacity is not being
maintained and where anticipated need requires increased capacity. While this is generally the
responsibility of the City's Stormwater Utility, it is critical that the CRA key a watchful eye on this
infrastructure as having flooding issues can lead to a decrease in investment in the area.
This is an area that has seen increased level of funding and thus the CRA/City should monitor State
and Federal notices for potential grant opportunities.
Other Overhead Utilities
Electric, telephone and cable utilities are generally provided via overhead transmission lines
through the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area. The CRA should make effort to ensure that with new
projects such utilities are placed underground. This is both for aesthetic and storm hardening
reasons.
Such projects can be costly, however, utilities such as Florida Power and Light have recently v
enacted policies in which they utility will bear a larger portion of the overall cost of undergrounding
their lines. This shift was due to findings that neighborhoods with underground electric were less E
likely to experience power outages from hurricanes over the last few years and where power
outages existed, they affected fewer customers. The CRA should consider such projects throughout
M
the district and should evaluate the potential costs and benefits to undergrounding of these utilities ti
when undertaking any roadway or streetscaping construction project. Q

Parks and Greenspace
The 2010 redevelopment plan states that because of the anticipated development of new
residential units, it is imperative that additional greenspace be developed. As the potential for
thousands of new residential units still exists in the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area, this is still true
and will continue to be so into the future. Existing parks will need to be upgraded and new parks
constructed to provide for the demand for outdoor open space for recreation, relaxation, and
special events.
Baywalk
One of the most utilized public spaces in the CRA is the Baywalk. Running along the edge of the
bay, this space is utilized by residents as a place to stroll, run and bike. The Baywalk is envisioned
to run the entire length of the City's bayfront. Currently, the Baywalk does not extend through the
Miami Herald Properties site and does not link with portions of the Baywalk south of 1-395 in
Maurice A. Ferre Park.
The CRA should work with the owners of the properties which the Baywalk does not traverse to ih
ensure this segment is constructed. If development plans in this area turn out to be far into the
ti
future, the CRA should consider an agreement that would allow a basic, but safe, pathway through Q
the property until construction commences. The CRA should also partner with any other property
s
owners to ensure expansion of any limited areas of the facility. w
The CRA should investigate ways for the Baywalk to cross under I-395 to connect with portions on M
the south side of the highway. It is critical that this link be established as the Baywalk will then
become a true alternative transportation facility and will be utilized by pedestrians, bicyclists, and
others to travel to and from downtown. E
s
The Baywalk facilities should also be properly maintained to ensure its continued use and expanded
when the addition of new features may make it a more desirable amenity for casual users. a
Maurice A. Ferre Park
The City and CRA have been working for a number of years to implement a long range master plan
forthis park. The 2010 plan recommends continued funding bythe CRAto implement the park plan
and to provide annual support for capital program. The CRA should continue to follow this
4-40
Packet Pg. 169
2'.5a
recommendation through its annual grant for cultural amenities in the CRA. This grant, currently
at 35% of the CRA's annual increment revenue, makes funds available to the Adrienne Arsht Center,
the museums at Maurice A. Ferre Park, and other such cultural facilities. While this park does have
two museum buildings constructed on its 40+ acres, about half of the property is still open space
that is very needed in the area.
Other Area Parks and Greenspaces
The CRA should look to fund upgrades to and encourage additional programing in other existing
parks and green spaces in the district where such improvements will enhance the ability of
residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors and/or to undertake recreational activities. New
equipment, upgraded landscaping, parking facilities, waterfountains, new and expanded walkways
and upgraded or new athletic fields (where feasible) are an example of the types of upgrades that
may be beneficial to these parks.
Street Tree Improvements
The CRA has produced an inventory of available tree
planting spaces in the Omni neighborhood and some
surrounding areas. Trees are a large economic benefit and
planting trees in the neighborhoods improves quality of life,
health, and economic vitality.
The FEC Railway Deep Water Slip (FEC Slip)

This area south of Maurice A. Ferre Park, which was once a deep -water slip, is currently

participate in costs associated with filling in the slip and/or activating the area. The site should be
considered for an expansion of Maurice A. Ferre Park though all opportunities for this area should
be explored. Whateverthe final course, the CRA should be involved in activating this site and should
continue to be involved in the discussions of what it should ultimately become.

Miami Herald Properties Area
Collectively these properties, comprise a key area with potential for a catalyst project(s). This area, which
includes the highly visible waterfront property that once housed the Miami Herald's facilities and offices,
should be developed into a signature mixed -use destination. This would provide a critical private sector
anchor to attract people to the waterfront/performing arts center area and connect this area to the 14tn
Street Media/Entertainment District.
The owner at the time of the authoring of this Plan, Genting Group's Resorts World Miami has suggested
the use of the site for a hotel/resort with residential and retail, but there no current movement towards Q
development. If Genting or another company with international credentials were to develop the site as
envisioned, it would help market the District, promote additional supporting development, and attract
spending and employment to the area. w

Much like the School Board properties, the parcels in this area are prime for development. However, the
properties in this area are almost exclusively in private hands with the exception of the Arsht Center, Knight;
Concert Hall, Omni Bus Terminal and several lots adjacent to 1-395 which FDOT will utilize in the highway's
widening project or which will become a park around and under the highway. The CRA will have to rely on
City zoning regulations to ensure development that is compatible with the Omni CRA's vision. While the
CRA cannot require a developer to exceed regulatory requirements, it should work with them to encourage a
the provision of community benefits as outlined previously and should at minimum seek the following
benefits for the public:
1) Affordable housing
2) Target percentage of local hires
3) Commitments of support for local community groups and initiatives
4-42
Packet Pg. 171

4) Parking open to the public (particularly to support the Arsht and Knight venues)
5) Baywalk connection
The Baywalk provides public access to the bay and is a vital pedestrian and recreational component of the
waterfront in the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area. It is important that the CRA work with the owners of bay
front properties in this area to ensure access for and construction of the Baywalk across these properties.
This will allow for a flow across this section with the ability to continue through the district and link with
that portion south of 1-395.
Incentives such as reimbursements for all or some costs related to the desired benefit(s), the undertaking
of a project in the public realm that would have otherwise been the responsibility of the developer, or some
other mutually agreed upon method, can be utilized to encourage the afore mentioned benefits
The CRA should monitor any development plans that are proposed and should work with any future
developers in this area to ensure their projects seamlessly transition from the site across the Arsht Center
and Knight Concert Hall and into the remainder of the district. It should also encourage any developer to
provide affordable housing, local job opportunities, and other benefits to the community The CRA should
look for opportunities to enhance the area that may present themselves and are beneficial to the
community. Like the School Board properties, the CRA may need to invest in the public realm. If streets in
this area remain public and improvements are not made a part of any development agreements/orders,
the CRA should consider and possibly undertake improvements on publicly owned property such as those
outlined in the previous subsection Public Improvements in Conjunction with Private Projects.
The Agency should also seek to maintain the Miami -Dade Transit bus terminal in its current location or near
to the current location to ensure transportation choice for all residents, employees, and visitors to the area.
Maintenance of the terminal will also mitigate traffic and parking in the area as it transforms to a denser,
urban destination.

Historic Preservation
While the CRA is poised as a strong advocate for redevelopment of the Omni area through new projects
and the modernization of existing properties, this should not be done at the expense of history. Too often
older buildings are believed to be obsolete and are left to deteriorate or are demolished in the pursuit of
the future. While Miami is a relatively young city, it has historic properties that should be preserved to
connect us to the past and allow us to reminisce. There are currently nine historic properties within the
Omni CRA; six properties that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, two that are eligible but
are not listed due to owner concerns at the time of nomination and two properties that have been declared
historic by the City of Miami. These properties are:
1) The Miami Cemetery
2) Miami Fire Station #2
3) S & S Diner
4) Trinity Episcopal Church
5) The Miami Woman's Club
6) Sears Tower
7) Shrine Shops (eligible for National Register but not listed)
8) Dorsey Memorial Library (locally designated)
9) Citizen Bank Building (eligible for National Register)
10) Vera Building (locally designated)
The CRA has been instrumental in preserving several of these structures with unique architectural
characteristics that provide an important look back into Miami's past. The CRA should continue to advocate
for and fund historic preservation projects and work to inform residents and visitors of these properties
important link to Miami's past. Additionally, the CRA should work to identify any other
structures/properties which may become eligible for historic designation in the future due to their age,
architectural style, or other connection to Miami's past.
The CRA should also endeavor to ensure that new construction/development in the area of these Q
properties respects the unique character and the scale of these buildings and does not detract from their
importance as community assets. x

Economic Development/Small Business Programs
One of the most important activities the CRA can undertake is to assist in the attraction of businesses and
jobs to the district. In the redevelopment area, it will be critical for new restaurants, retail stores, and other
service providers to be attracted to locate to the area. People want to move to or visit an area with a good
business environment and in which they can buy desired items, find providers of personal services, and find
good food and drink, unfortunately, these types of businesses are often the last entities to locate in a
growing area as they require the consumer be in place so that they can have sufficient income to survive.
Additionally, creating jobs gives established residents employment choices that may provide them
increased income or reduced commutes to work. Creating jobs also gives new or potentially new residents
the opportunity to live and work a short distance apart.
The CRA can and should assist in business attraction and job creation. As mentioned, businesses need
customers to survive. Given the growing nature of the redevelopment area, there is an increasing need for
businesses to meet the growing demand, however, because of the area has not established itself as a solid
consumer base, businesses are reluctant to be "pioneers" in the area. Even more restricting, the lack of
consumer demand history makes financial institutions reluctant to lend to such entities. It can be difficult
to find those pioneer businesses willing to take such a risk and for existing businesses to continue to operate
in such an environment.
To assist in these efforts, the CRA should continue to implement its business assistance programs and
should look for opportunities to create new, effective programs designed to attract and retain businesses.
The CRA has an excellent track record with its Business Incentive Grant Program which assists qualified
business or property owners with building and property improvements that are directly related to opening
of a new business, improving an existing business, remedying code violations, providing ADA access and
eliminating blighting neighborhood conditions in the targeted areas of the Omni CRA. This program
provides matching funds to make these improvements and can cause certain fees of the City to be waived.
In addition, this program the CRA could look at additional creative methods to assist new and existing
businesses. The following programs could be developed and implemented over time:
1) Creation of a designated CRA liaison who is available to assist businesses in the area when issues
arise with governmental agencies such as City Code Compliance, Building or Zoning Departments,
Police Department, or the Health Department. Additionally, the liaison could assist in resolving
issues related to the public realm such as sidewalk or roadway issues, drainage problems, parking
issues, or area safety concerns.
2) Relocation assistance — A program could be created to assist businesses that move into the Omni
CRA from outside of the City (so as not to negatively impact other areas of the City) in paying for
such relocation expenses. Such expenses could include some fixed amount or percentage of total
cost for the moving of equipment and/or stock, the cost of re -printing business materials or
advertising a new location.
3) The CRA could undertake or create a business group to undertake area shared marketing. Such an
effort could place advertisements touting the district and multiple businesses within it. This would
provide for more cost-effective marketing and would promote the district which would benefit all
businesses in the district. This effort could also work with entities such as the Adrienne Arsht Center
and area museums to run cross promotions. If successful, such an effort could grow into a business
improvement district or a merchant association that could take over efforts as the business
community grows.
2
4-45
Packet Pg. 174
2'.5a
4) A program to guarantee interest on a business loans could be developed. Such a program would
guarantee a minimum percentage interest return on a loan to a new business or existing business
for equipment or property improvements. This would reduce the cost of borrowing to the business
and offer only minimal risk to the CRA as it would only be guaranteeing a percentage of interest
payment on the loan.
5) Small business grants can be made available in small increments to assist more locally owned "mom
and pop" type businesses with simple activities that might otherwise difficult for them to undertake
such as expanding advertisement, creating a more effective social media and web -based presence,
or to attend a business training seminar.
6) A retail advisor could be periodically be made available to businesses for consultation. Such
individuals or firms visit business locations and make recommendations as to how better to display
products for sale, or to create a welcoming storefront or interior environment. Such consultations
can be made over a short visit to the business (an hour or so).
7) The CRA could provide customer service training for the employees of any business in the district
that interact directly with customers. This could be the front desk person at an insurance office,
retail sales clerks, or wait staff at a restaurant. Such training could assist business owners in
providing better service
8) The Omni CRA should provide an ongoing annual contribution of $250,000 to The
Miami Bayside Foundation for a Small Business Loan and/or Grant program for use to assist
businesses within the CRA boundaries, and for the creation of a Scholarship Fund helping students
of the district attend university, college, and technical college.
The CRA should continue to seek new and innovative methods and programs to attract businesses to the
district, assist them in increasing and maintaining their customer base, and to have the facilities and tools
available to them to help them survive and thrive
Job Creation
Another aspect of economic development for the CRA is the creation of jobs within its boundaries. Some
of this goes hand -in -hand with business assistance efforts. As long as there are businesses that are thriving,
there will be new jobs created. The attraction of jobs serves several purposes. It provides additional
customers for existing businesses and it can provide jobs and therefore income to residents of Omni which
would allow them to not only continue to reside in the district, but could provide them jobs close to home
which would reduce commuting. The CRA would most likely want to incentivize the creation of higher wage
jobs, those paying more than an average wage for the area. The exception to this might be to subsidize the
creation of lower wage, limited -time training positions, to assist district residents transitioning off public
assistance, or to encourage businesses to expand their hours by hiring additional help.
The CRA could develop a job creation incentive program that would grant funds for the creation of jobs at
desired income levels. Such a program could reimburse a business a fixed amount or a percentage of salary
for a period of time for each job created and filled for a year. The reimbursement could be at amounts that
increase based on the job's salary. The benefit to such a design is that it incentivizes higher wages and does
not have a cost if the job is not created or filled. This type of assistance could help in attracting better paying
jobs to the area to complement lower wage service jobs.
Again, the CRA should continue to seek other creative incentives to create and attract newjobs to the area.
Any program that would offset the cost to a business of newly created jobs could incentivize a business to
do so.

Quality of Life Projects/Programs
By virtue of being an area declared to contain slum and/or blight, one can assume the district has a number
of quality of life issues. In the Omni Redevelopment Area, these issues range from appearance of its streets
and parks, homelessness, crime, limited opportunities and support for the area's lower income residents.
To this end, the CRA must identify and address such quality of life issues that continue to exacerbate
blighting conditions in the area. These issues tend to all affect the way people, both residents and visitor,
interact with and react to the area. Some quality of life concerns have already been addressed in other
parts of this section, therefore, many of those addressed here do not lay within the purview of any single
topic area nor do they necessarily have any other relationship to one another.
To identify quality of life issues, the CRA should consider undertaking a on ongoing survey of residents to
determine issues of greatest concern. More established means of determining issues of concern will assist
the CRA in prioritizing these issues and find ways to address them
The CRA area experiences a higher level of calls for police than the remainder of the City. The CRA should
work with the Police Department to address the nature of these calls and determine if there is some type
of crime or topic of such calls that can be addressed by the CRA or other entity. Additionally, the CRA should
continue its efforts to provide for community policing innovations and level of police involvement in Omni
that exceeds the level for the remainder of the City. Involvement by the Police in district will help reduce
crime and give residents and visitors a greater sense of security even if no such concern is warranted.
Community policing assists not only in preventing and solving crime, but in enhancing the relationships
between police and the community.
Another issue of concern within the CRA is homelessness. Not only is homelessness an issue for those who
experience it, but for the CRA the negative connotation of having a visible homeless population can reduce
investment in the area and sour the experience of visitors, reducing the chance they will return. To address
this, the CRA has and should continue to work with the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust and to fund initiatives
to reduce homelessness in within its boundaries and to provide for shelter and other needs for those that
are homeless and live on the streets within the redevelopment area. Besides eliminating the effects on the
district, to undertake such programs is also the socially beneficial and correct thing to do.
A program that both enhances the Neighborhoods and employs the homeless is the Purple Shirts Program.
The CRA funds a program to pay the wages of workers and a manager from the Chapman Partnership
Homeless Assistance Center. This group then assists in picking up litter, pressure washing graffiti and
sidewalks, landscaping, and keeping up the public and green spaces in the Redevelopment area. This
program should be retained and expanded due to its success.
4-47
Packet Pg. 176
2'.5a
The need for social services within the district is also of high concern. Services provided by agencies such
as mental health, financial assistance, and career training could reduce the high level of calls for police and
for calls for fire and emergency medical services. However, a concern has been raised that social service
delivery in the district is inefficient and uncoordinated. The CRA could provide a central location within its
boundaries in which social service agencies could interact with the public in order to facilitate a more
efficient and effective delivery of services. The CRA could schedule the various agencies to be on -site to
meet with residents of area to answer questions address needs and concerns and could be responsible for
informing the public of this availability. This would also foster a closer relationship between the CRA and
the various providers.
As the CRA seeks to revitalize the area, developing talent and opportunities for the underserved will
contribute to the goal of elevating the quality of life for residents. The creation of scholarships and work
study -programs could provide tuition assistance to resident students who major in fields of value to the
CRA and the neighborhood. Internships with the CRA and/or business and non-profit partners would
provide valuable work experience, and an immediate mechanism to give back to the community. Providing
access to education to those financially incapable of securing the path to higher learning will yield the skills
and opportunities that the community sorely needs.
The levels of increased poverty in the CRA Redevelopment Areas and the aging infrastructure make
hurricane season very hard on residents. Improvements to homes and businesses can easily be destroyed
and high deductibles make recovery difficult. Power outages tend to last longer in certain CRA
neighborhoods, making businesses at risk for burglaries and break-in. The Omni CRA should implement a
residential disaster relief, and/or business interruption program to help small businesses and residents of
the CRA.
ON -GOING PROJECTS:
a) Funding community policing within the CRA
b) The Purple Shirts Program or other homeless assistance programs
c) Grants to homeless organizations or other nonprofits

Chapter 5 Implementation Plan
Implementation Through the Financing Plan
The Omni CRA has been in existence since the October 23, 1986 by the Dade County Commission's adoption
of Resolution 86-868. A redevelopment plan was adopted in that same year and the CRA began to collect
increment revenue and began its work program. Unfortunately, this plan did not lead to significant program
implementation or change within the CRA. Thus, the City caused a new plan to be written in 2006 which
was then amended in 2009 and 2010 to reflect a 200+ acre expansion of the CRA. This plan was adopted in
2010 and a more ambitious work plan was engaged as the CRA began implementation. While excellent
progress has been made, financial obligations to two major projects, the Performing Arts Center and the
Port of Miami Tunnel, have limited the CRA's ability to invest in a number of projects contemplated by the
most recent plan.
Due to this, the CRA recently obtained access to a $25 million loan through Bank United. This loan will assist
in undertaking a number of projects, however, the debt service on this loan will add to CRA's limited amount
of funds available for projects and programs for the short term under several anticipated projects are
completed and added to the tax rolls.
A focus of the CRA in the next few years will be the Miami -Dade School Board Properties, an initiative
outlined in Section 4 Redevelopment Strategies. Should this strategy be successful and other planned
developments come on-line as anticipated, a significant amount of new revenue will be generated to
complete implementation of other initiatives in this redevelopment plan. In fact, if everything comes
together, all of the initiatives anticipated by this plan update will be financially feasible during the extended
lifetime of the CRA.
The following section identifies the financing program for the projects and the implementation of the
overall program.
Assumptions
Several assumptions must be made in order to make any meaningful projections. Trends in real estate,
including historical values and increasing values of multi -family residential and mixed -use projects within
the City of Miami and the entire South Florida Region were reviewed. Through this review, future conditions
were also anticipated. This was used to formulate projections of future growth in values.
The escalation rates used in this projection assume that a certain momentum will carry forward as the Omni
area develops further and the CRA implements the projects and programs outlined in this plan update. An
annual increase of 4% in Taxable Value is projected over the extended life of the CRA through 2047. While
some years may see larger increases in Taxable Value and some will see smaller increases, it is believed
that this flat 4% increase over time is appropriate. Value growth of both the original Omni Area and the
2009 Expansion Area are assumed to grow at the same rate.
It is also assumed that projects that are in the approval process or under construction at the time of the
preparation of this document will be completed with assumptions made about when these projects will
reach substantial completion and be added to the tax rolls.
Finally, millage rates are assumed to stay constant at FY 2018 levels of 4.6669 mills for Miami -Dade County
and 7.5865 for the City of Miami (a total of 12.2534 mils).
5-49
Packet Pg. 178
2'.5a
Revenue Projections
The Omni Community Redevelopment Agency has two different areas for which its increment revenue is
determined. The original area of the CRA, created in 1986 utilizes a 1986 base year taxable value, while the
2009 CRA expansion area utilizes the 2009 taxable value as its base year value. As the 4% growth factor is
utilized for both areas, a single base year value was established and is used for making revenue projections.
These two values are added to give a total base year taxable value of $246,898,822.
The objective of the CRA is to promote a wide range of community improvements and redevelopment
activities. The CRA provides a mechanism for capturing the tax increment generated by the increase in
taxable values over the Base Years. The plan introduces a timeframe expansion of the CRA which will extend
its lifetime to the maximum 60 years allowed by law from the 1986 initial year of the CRA. This will take the
CRA to FY 2046-2047. Over the remaining 27-year life (including the current year) of the CRA, this stream
of funds is a substantial amount.

Funding Strategy
Revenue projections from a steady source of funds such as a CRA tax increment can be used to finance a
number of catalytic programs designed to trigger the redevelopment of the area. This is the essence of a
redevelopment plan. Prior planning efforts, with community involvement, have yielded a lengthy list of
program, projects, and improvements desired. The CRA revenue stream can be allocated to accomplish
these projects in some order of priority. This section of the plan will present a financial model that
summarizes the anticipated revenues and expenditures of the CRA. This model is intended as a planning
tool, so that the programs, projects, and improvements can be matched against available funds. Later in
the section, goals for major catalyst programs to be undertaken by the CRA will be outlined.
m
L
The CRA funding model is presented in Table 5-2. It is essentially a budget that lists projected revenues and a
expenses for each of the future 26 years of the CRA. Indeed, it is prudent practice to review these
projections on a periodic basis, so that the assumptions in the model can be assessed against actual o
experience. What follows is a brief explanation of the structure and assumptions of the model.;
C
Table 5-2 is organized to list fiscal years in adjacent columns across the top. The revenues and expenditures _0
are listed in the leftmost column, in typical budget form, with all revenues listed first, then all expenditures.
C
The primary source of revenue is, of course, the tax increment. As previously discussed, this begins as a
a
modest amount, but grows quickly in successive years as long as redevelopment and general economic =
growth keep increasing the taxable value of the properties within the CRA. Other sources of funding, such E
as grants from various state and federal agencies, can and should be pursued. c
d
It is important to note that this model shows a "pay as you go" program from FY 2018 forward. This is a m
very conservative method of payment. The CRA could, once some of the newer projects come on-line,
borrow against future revenues. A borrowing of this time could significantly increase the start time of many Q�
infrastructure projects. This would allow the projects to be completed sooner, accelerating growth even U
greater than the assumed 4% annual increase, however borrowing would have significant interest costs. In
the future, the CRA may find that any interest rate may accelerate growth enough to easily cover the cost E
of borrowing, making it a preferred financing option. An accelerated implementation could lead to surplus
increment revenue that could be returned to the taxing authorities contributing to the CRA and, could
M
ultimately lead to early termination of tax increment payments to the CRA once any outstanding bonds are
satisfied. Q

CRA Expenditures
The financial projections discussed here allow the CRA to budget for anticipated expenses to achieve the
goals of the community vision. Most of the bond proceeds will be directed to paying for capital
improvements and land acquisition. In addition, the tax increment funds will provide a substantial cash flow
for other programs and activities, as well as the administrative overhead needed to further the
community's objectives. These programs and expenditures are discussed in more detail in Chapter I-4 of
this report with targets and goals outlined later in this section.
Identification of Catalyst Projects/Programs and Initial Goals
This Plan provides for the creation of various different types of projects and programs to achieve the
elimination of blight conditions within the CRA area. There are several key project/programs that have been
specifically detailed in Section 4 of this report and which have been funded by the possible 26 year funding
model shown in Table 5-1. The catalyst projects are those that should be pursued vigorously as they will
make the greatest impact on Omni both in terms of taxable value and enhancement to the quality of life
for the neighborhood's residents. The top catalyst projects /programs will be outlined below along with
initial goals. This list is not presented in any particular order of importance or priority.
NOTE: Goals outlined in this Section are more susceptible to market forces outside of the CRA's control (i.e.
land prices, available TIF, buyer's tastes, growth in the surrounding areas).
1) The Miami -Dade School Board Properties — Work with the Miami -Dade School Board and City of Miami
to develop several key parcels owned by the School Board. This project will include the relocation of School
Board activities including the School Board Administrative offices, the iPrep School and the studios of WLRN
public radio, and potentially a relocation or re -construction of Phillis Wheatley Elementary School. The land
will be utilized to construct new residential and mixed -use projects that will include workforce housing and
housing affordable for lower income households.
GOALS:
a) Development of all School Board Properties.
b) Relocation of School Board activities within the Omni CRA.
c) Formulation of a package of incentives to ensure developments with residential components
include significant mixed -income housing units, where possible.
d) Developments with ground floor commercial and other types of uses that activates the street.
Developments that are pedestrian -friendly, reduce or eliminates the need for private automobiles
due to proximity to mass transit/ride share facilities and availability of goods and services within a
reasonable distance.
2) Miami Herald Properties — Work with private property owners to develop properties in this area into
anchor uses including mixed -use, residential, hotel/resort and commercial.
GOALS:
a) Development of all available sites by 2025
b) Location of anchor facilities with internationally recognizable facilities that will attract visitors
to the area.
c) Continuation of the Baywalk through these properties to maintain public access to the
waterfront.
5-53
Packet Pg. 182
2.5.a
d) Completion of complimentary improvements to public space/rights-of-way in the immediate
area.
e) Inclusion of public parking within the private development.
3) Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts Parking — The CRA needs to ensure that these facilities
have nearby available parking. As the School Board Properties are developed and as the Florida Department
of Transportation constructs the 1-395 widening and the "Underdeck" park, spaces for patrons of events at
the Adrienne Arsht and Knight facilities will dwindle.
GOALS:
a) Ensure any private parking facilities built in the area include parking open to the public.
b) Locate appropriate structured parking in the immediate area that can be shared with other
facilities, including Miami -Dade County School Board.
c) Enter into shared parking agreements with any private parking facilities in the area whose prime
users utilize the facilities during hours when performances at the Adrienne Arsht and Knight
facilities are not common.
4) Infrastructure — This category includes the construction/reconstruction, rehabilitation, location, or
upgrading of several types if infrastructure. This includes, but is not limited to facilities for: Streetscapes,
roadways, curbs, sidewalks, stormwater drainage, water, wastewater, cable, electric transmission, voice
and data transmission as well as the transportation network and mass transit facilities. It recognizes that as
development occurs, there will be a greater stress on these facilities, increase the need for these facilities
and thus require additional capacity, and these facilities will need greater protection (hardening) to ensure
they continue to function after disaster or other disruptive events.
GOALS
a) Undertake a full infrastructure studies to determine all needs and estimated costs related to
infrastructure and prioritization by project within each type.
b) Complete rehabilitation to all deficient streets, sidewalks, curbs, and lighting
c) Complete rehabilitation to all deficient water/wastewater facilities
d) Complete streetscape installation to enhance quality of life by providing, pedestrian -friendly
amenities throughout Omni as well as shade and lighting.
e) Complete a CRA-wide stormwater system that conveys/retains stormwater and prevents
regular flooding due to rain events and sea -level rise.
f) Underground overhead utilities to harden the CRA area against storms and other events.
g) Assist, where necessary, in the implementation of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit
(SMART) Plan.
5-54

2.5.a
5) Parks and Greenspaces — With the significant increase is visitors and residents anticipated in the Omni
area, the limited system of parks and greenspaces within the area will be insufficient to serve the
population. Existing parks such as Biscayne Park and Margaret Pace Park are in need of rehabilitation and
expansion where possible and Maurice A. Ferre Park is not yet fully built -out. The CRA may have to
contribute to ensure a quality "Underdeck" open space that is a part of FDOT's 1-395 project. There will be
a significant need for new parks and the CRA may need to acquire land and construct new facilities,
particularly smaller pocket parks or limited, passive greenspaces.
GOALS:
a) Upgrade existing park facilities to accommodate use and additional activation for increased
population
b) Ensure the City in fully develops Maurice A. Ferre Park as per its master plan/vision
c) Ensure the "Underdeck" open space is designed and constructed in a manner that is
acceptable to the community and such that its maintenance is sustainable.
d) Acquire land through donation or purchase for, and construct new parks and greenspaces
throughout the CRA district.
6) Housing Affordability —The CRA should fund established and creative new ways to increase the stock of
workforce and lower income affordable housing within the district
GOALS:
a) Create project -specific developer incentives to ensure that new or significantly redeveloped o
residential projects in the CRA contain a sufficient amount of units that are affordable to the >
target populations d
b) Work with local non-profit housing providers to build new units or rehabilitate existing units Q
for occupancy by the target populations av
c) Continue and expand programs to assist individual, target population, home owners with E
rehabilitation/emergency repairs to their homes to ensure they can remain in the homes and O
that an affordable housing stock is maintained. o
M
d) Create mortgage subsidy and/or down payment assistance programs to help the target
population purchase homes. Q

Chapter 6 Exit Strategy
When is Redevelopment Complete?
One of the most difficult concepts in the implementation of a Community Redevelopment Agency is to
gauge when redevelopment is completed. This is because redevelopment is never actually "complete." The
Community Redevelopment Agency or any other entity can always find more projects and/or more
programs to fund to make an area better. However, CRA's have finite lives and a time does need to exist
when the regular stream of revenues reverts back to the City of Miami to carry out the full breath of its
mission as well as to Miami -Dade County to provide the services for which it is responsible. It is the intent
of this section to modify the question of "When is redevelopment complete?" to "when has the Community
Redevelopment Agency completed its assigned task?"
When has the Community Redevelopment Agency Completed its
Assigned Task?
This Community Redevelopment Plan Update outlines the work plan for the Omni Community
Redevelopment Agency. Many projects and programs are contained within this Plan. The completion of the
Community Redevelopment Agency's work and the subsequent end or "sunset" of the District will either
be based on the reaching of the additional 15 years (until 2047) it may be allowed to continue to operate
or the completion of all anticipated projects and substantial advancement of goals and objectives of the
described programs and the repayment of any and all debt.
Once all of the following questions can be answered affirmatively, the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area
should be closed down and the Omni Redevelopment Trust Fund should cease to exist.
Have the projects outlined and/or contemplated by the Community Redevelopment Plan been
substantially completed and paid for including related debt (except for on -going maintenance of
the projects) as outlined in the Plan or any appropriate Five -Year Action Plan?
2. Have the programs outlined and/or contemplated by this Community Redevelopment Plan been
implemented and have they substantially impacted the community and/or met their stated goals?
Has all debt from the implementation of projects and programs been retired?
Any review of these questions should also include whether there are other sources of funds available to
the CRA, County or other agency or group to complete any outstanding projects or programs of the CRA. If
these outside sources are sufficient, consideration should be given to early termination of tax increment
payments and the cessation of the CRA.
Five Year Plan Review as a Method of Mitigating Changes in Local
Conditions and the CRA's Success.
While answers in the affirmative to the questions in Subsection B (above) should trigger the completion of
CRA's efforts, it recommended that the CRA not rely on the original list of projects outlined in this Plan as
a final and absolute list, but instead, utilize these projects as a "living document" that will be the subject of
a review and update every five years (or other times when conditions warrant).
As part of the five-year update, a Review and Future Action Plan should also be prepared. The Review
portion should include a progress report that indicates the success of the CRA in attaining its stated goals
6-59
Packet Pg. 188
2.5.a
given market and other outside forces (i.e. changes to land prices, interest rates, construction costs, other
growth in the area, state of the retail, office and industrial sectors, etc.) influencing the CRA during that five
year period. Programs and projects should be reviewed to determine their continued viability and cost
effectiveness in addressing the needs of the community.
Each Five -Year Action Plan should set new goals and task completion indicators which take into account
changes in outside forces. Each new Action Plan should also contain revisions to the TIF projections based
on actual changes to taxable values of property in the area during the previous five years and what can
reasonably be expected to happen to them in the ensuing five years.
The Five -Year Review and Action Plan shall also be the document utilized for the formulation and inclusion
into the Plan (by the appropriate amendment procedures as outlined in F.S. Chapter 163 Part III and as
required by Miami -Dade County) of new projects and programs that will address the new conditions or
contemplated conditions and the basis for removal from the Plan of projects/programs that are no longer
necessary, are outdated, or those no longer in the best interests of the community. If no new programs are
contemplated or warranted, there shall be no need for an update of the Plan.
Upon completion of the Five -Year Review and Action Plan, it is determined that the projects and programs
have meet the criteria for completion of the CRA's assigned tasks or that (as outlined above) there exists
other sources of funds for outstanding projects, then the review should conclude that the CRA has been
successful and the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area should be dissolved. The review should analyze the
potential for the CRA to complete its tasks given performance over the past five-year period (and prior five-
year periods). If it is determined that the CRA will be unable to substantially affect conditions in the Omni
Area, then the review should conclude that the CRA is not an effective method for redevelopment of the
neighborhood and the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area should be dissolved.
The five-year evaluation shall in no way however, inhibit or prevent the Omni Community
Redevelopment Plan from being amended or new programs or projects from being created and
implemented at any other time as long as such plan amendments or new project/programs are in
conformance with any interlocal agreements, FS. Chapter 163 Part III, and Miami -Dade County regulations.
Termination of Tax Increment Payments
This program requires a regular review of the progress of the CRA and the completion of projects and
programs. In the later years, the CRA may find that most of its contemplated projects/programs have been
completed. While some tax increment would still be needed to fund a few on -going projects/programs, the
majority of the tax increment may not be required. Such later -year reviews should be focused on
determining if the minimal programs or projects still in need of funding are necessary to be completed by
the CRA or if the City or other entity might have other potential sources of funding to complete them. Upon
completion of this review, a determination could be made as to whether to continue tax increment
collections at full levels, reduce the percentage of the tax increment collected, or whether the goals and
objectives of the CRA have been met and it is time to sunset the District.

Chapter 7 Neighborhood Impact Statement
RELOCATION
It is the goal and intent of the CRA to retain, improve and increase the housing stock within the Omni
Redevelopment area. Therefore, the Plan Update does not propose any specific project which would result
in the acquisition or demolition of existing residential structures nor the relocation of current residents of
the area. Any future project supported by the CRA and its financing mechanisms which requires the
involuntary displacement of any resident, shall be accompanied by a Project Relocation Plan in accordance
with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, or other applicable regulations. The Project Relocation Plan must be
approved by the CRA Board in a publicly noticed CRA Board meeting prior to receiving final approvals.
If any future projects were to require relocation and CRA funding were to be "partnered" with Federal
funds, the Omni CRA shall make it a condition of its participation that all provisions of the Uniform
Relocation Assistance Act are met. This will assure that displaced residents will have access to safe, sanitary
and decent replacement housing.
TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
The street system within the study area consists of arterials, collectors and local roads that provide access
and circulation within the Omni area. The main arterial is Biscayne Boulevard which provides north/south
access. Access to and from the Omni area to other parts of the city is severely restricted by the 1-395
elevated expressway on the south limit of the study area and the Florida East Coast (FEC) railway on the
west side.
This Redevelopment Plan update proposes the elimination of deficiencies within the transportation Ix
network (see maps in Chapter 1-3 for overview of deficiency locations). These deficiencies include:
U
1. Poor street asphalt conditions E
E
2. Broken or missing curbing 0
3. Poorly maintained or missing sidewalks M
ti
4. Poor or nonexistant lighting Q
Repair of these deficiencies should enhance the transportation network for vehicles, bicycles, and
pedestrians. s

The plan also advocates for the following continued projects: o
M
Roadway Conversions from one to two-way streets
1. N. Miami Avenue
E
2. NE 15YAvenue
3. NE 2nd Avenue Q
4. 171" Street FEC railway crossing
The purpose of these projects is all to enhance the connectivity of traffic and reduce high speeds through
the area.
7-61
Packet Pg. 190
2'.5a
This update also includes description of streetscaping to be undertaken CRA-wide. These projects are to be
undertaken either as stand-alone projects or in -conjunction with large private projects to help mitigate
appearances and traffic flow in the CRA.
Such projects, as outlined in Chapter 1-4, include providing public amenities designed to help pedestrian
accessibility and flow so as to encourage walking or bicycling rather than motor vehicle use. These items
include, but are not limited to:
1. Public parking
2. On -street parking
3. Wide sidewalks
4. Bicycle lanes
Traffic calming devices
In addition, items are also designed to enhance the flow of motor vehicle traffic though the siting of parking
and pull-outs for buses and ride -share vehicles, so traffic is not impeded.
An opportunity to support the County's Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan is also contained
within the update. The SMART Plan contains a number of methods for enhancing transportation within
Miami -Dade County including enhanced bus use and the user of rail. Of particular note to the Omni CRA
would be enhancement of the Metromover, which travels through the CRA, and the help in creation of the
SMART Plan Beach Corridor Rapid Transit line from the mainland to the barrier island. The Beach Corridor
Rapid Transit Line could alleviate a significant amount of traffic on 1-395 and quickly move people from the
CRA district to the employment centers on Miami Beach.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Redevelopment in the Omni CRA will improve environmental quality due to existing provisions in the City's
building permit process. Miami -Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management reviews
all new construction permits to ensure health standards are followed. Asbestos testing is required for
existing buildings that are to undergo renovation. The County's Health Department must also approve any
water and sewer changes, restaurants, hospitals, clinics, and schools.
Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department provides water and sewage services and runoff drainage for the
Omni CRA district. The Department has upgraded their standards which means that most new construction
and renovations within the CRA will require upgrades to the water service lines.
In addition to the above, the redevelopment plan update also contemplates the implementation of
stormwater systems CRA-wide. Currently such systems only exist in the area east of Biscayne Boulevard/US-
1. These systems will be required to provide a certain amount of treatment to runoff before it percolates
into the soil or is released into Biscayne Bay. The inclusion of curbs and gutters along newly updated streets
will ensure that runoff waters are directed into the new stormwater system as well.
Significant funding is also contemplated for sewer system upgrades. This will reduce the amount of
sewerage that may be leaking from pipes that currently exceed or will have exceeded their anticipated life -
span at the time of replacement.

Packet Pg. 191

COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The redevelopment plan update contemplates expansion and maintenance of existing community facilities
to a level that will continue to accommodate demand for such facilities that will come with population
growth of the area. These facilities include:
Parks/Public Spaces
1. Maurice A. Ferre Park
2. Margaret Pace Park
3. Dorsey Park
4. Biscayne Park
5. The Baywalk (to be expanded as well)
In addition, the update contemplates the addition and maintenance of the 1-395 "Underway' Park. This will
be a significant facility in the area around and under the soon -to -be expanded 1-395, and the inclusion of
public plazas, pocket parks and other mini -green spaces, where appropriate, throughout the CRA district.
Cultural Facilities
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the Frost Museum of Science, and the Perez Art
Museum of Miami are all supported through a significant contribution by the CRA to the County for cultural
facilities within the CRA. There is potential for new regional cultural or artistic attractions to continue to
boost the attractiveness of the area as a regional destination.
Educational
This redevelopment plan update also contemplates redevelopment of Phillis Wheatley Elementary School
to include school facilities as well as housing for teachers and others. Relocation of the School Board's iPrep
and other educational facilities are also contemplated. This relocation will allow for redevelopment of these
sites as well as provide new and upgraded facilities for these educational institutions.
r►►►►��r�r•�►���r�:rz•»1•liff�»-rrr# Ji
While growth in the Omni CRA Redevelopment Area is expected to lead to significant population increases,
it is unlikely that this will lead to an equally significant increase in school population. The majority of units
contemplated by the redevelopment plan update would be in large urban -styled, multi -family buildings.
These building are unlikely to contain significant numbers of units with more than 2 bedrooms. It is likely
that affordable housing units for workforce and low-income residents that the CRA seeks to
construct/rehabilitate will be more family oriented that the market -rate units in the district. This means
additional students will be added to the area, however the percentage increase in school population is not
likely to be as high as the percent increase in overall population. The CRA will continue to work with the
Miami -Dade County School Board to address this issue.
7-63

2.5.a
OTHER PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL QUALITIES
The purpose of the redevelopment is to eliminate and prevent instances of slum and/or blighting influences
on the district. To this end, the CRA's on -going efforts to enhance and beautify the area will create a positive
environment for all residents. Additionally, the significant efforts to provide a mix of housing options,
including efforts to ensure housing for low income and workforce residents will be to the benefits of existing
residents.
The CRA is also seeking to provide an expansion of area social services through the funding of opportunities
for non-profit providers in the district. This effort is designed to ensure a continued social "safety net" is
available for residents and to expand the number of social service agencies providing service in the district
and enhance resident access to these agencies.
The CRA's commitment to seeking community benefits from developers, property owners, and business
owners assisted by the CRA projects, and to the extent possible those that are not assisted, will also improve
the social qualities of the neighborhood. Included in the plan update is a list of examples of community
benefits the CRA should seek which includes but is not limited to:
1. Job creation
2. Job training
3. Affordable housing units
4. Below market -rent commercial spaces for "mom and pop" stores
5. Support for local non-profit service providers in the area
Provision of public plazas and green spaces
Lastly, provisions are also included in the plan update for a number of quality -of -life items that will benefit
the residents. These include such items as:
1. Funding for homeless programs
2. A college scholarship program for residents
3. A program to hire homeless residents to assist in area clean-up activities
Community policing to reduce crime and provide a conduit between residents and the police
department.

Chapter 8 Conclusion of Redevelopment Plan
This chapter outlines the major capabilities of the Omni CRA to rehabilitate the Redevelopment Area.
1. The CRA will engage in a workable program for utilizing appropriate private and public resources
to eliminate and prevent the development or spread of slums and urban blight in the
Redevelopment Area, to encourage needed community rehabilitation, to provide for the
redevelopment of slum and blighted neighborhoods, to provide housing affordable to residents of
low or moderate income, including the elderly, or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or
