FLORIDA m INtEA4FFICE MEM0I111ANDUM REVISED 2/26/88 To Honorable Mayor and Wrr. MAR loan .,LE Members of the City Commission SUBJECT Resolution establishing • The 1988 Miami Design District Special FROM Improvement District Cesar H. D d i �, REREREMCEf City Manager Ehc►.osuREs Recommendation It is respectfully recommended that the Miami City Commission approve the attached resolution authorizing and establishing The 1988 Miami Design District as a Special Improvement District for a period of one year; and further declaring that the funds will be used for the marketing, management, promotion, and other similar services for the benefit of the District. Background The Department of Development recommends that The 1988 Miami Design District be designated as a Special Improvement District for a one-year period. Florida Statutes Chapters 87-103, Sections 170.01-170.16 were amended in 1987, to allow for the establishment of Special improvement Districts for "retail and/or wholesale business districts and/or nationally recognized historic districts to be improved, through promotion, management, marketing -and other similar services in business districts of the municipality." The Miami Design District is the premier Design Center of the Southeastern United States in terms of concentrated square footage of showrooms and annual sales. The area contributes a significant amount to the tax base and is an area of major employment in the City. There is apprOAimately $57,477,068 in assessable property value in the district which contributes $551,491 in City taxes per year. The District is made up of over 180 showrooms, representing 3,400 manufacturer lines, with more tnan 2,000,000 square feet of showroom space. Annual sales in 1986 were sg-2 21 A c . '4N f Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page 2 approximately $350 million and are projected to reach $450 million plus by 1990. The District provides 1500 jobs in a 12 block area with an additional 3,000 directly related jobs in Miami and Dade County. Since 1980 The Miami Design District has added over 500,000 square feet of showroom space, but at the same time has suffered from significant business losses as a direct consequence from the development of new interior design centers. The City of Miami , for the last seven years, has provided financial support to The Miami Design District Association. Last year $184,000 was granted to the association to promote business development opportunities. In addition, the association generated approximately $100,000 in revenues, the majority which has been utilized for special security service. During the last year while the emphasis has been on business retention 20 new businesses have been added. The Miami Design District Association proposes a $500,000 budget for the upcoming year in order to undertake an aggressive marketing program. The proposed Improvement District is being established as a result of a request of The Miami Design District Association. It will generate approximately $200,000 in revenues. Funds for the assessment are to be advanced from the General Funa to be repaid through a Special Assessment. The Assessment will be done on a one-year trial basis pending an amendment to current Florida Legislation. The assessment will be used for marketing, promotion, management and other similar services in the District. The assessment will apply to all properties in the SPI-8 Zoning District, (see exhibit 8) and will be based on assessable property value. The assessment will be calculated based on a 3.8 millage increase on what they are currently paying in taxes. Approximately 85Z of the land within this Zoning District is currently being utilized for activities related to the home furnishings industry. Non conforming uses will benefit from the proposed District since increased land values will benefit each property owner. Residential and industrial properties will be assessed for land value only. The assessments will be collected through the City's Finance Department which will bill the property owners periodically for the assessment. If the property owners do not pay the assessment, then, the City will bring appropriate legal proceedings. a 88-221, t*. 7 Honorable Mayor and ii Members of the city Commission Past 3 The City of Miami Department of Development met with The Miami Design District Association property owners and tenants to discuss The Improvement District on February 17, 1988. Approximately fifty merchants and property owners attended this meeting. The benefits of the proposed improvement district include a fairer distribution of costs for provisions of services and the creation of a sufficient funding base to establish an aggressive marketing program. (Comparable districts spend between t500,000- $19000,000). It is recommended that a public hearing be neld on April 28, to discuss the establishment of the District.
