City Manager RECOMMENDATION: DATE. JAN 14 1987 PILE: SUOJECT: Resolution authorizing transmittal of ADA for S.E. Overtown/Park West DRI to South Florida RPC REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES. It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the transmittal to the South Florida Regional Planning Council of the Application for Development Approval (ADA) for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Project area as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI), in substantially the form attached. BACKGROUND: The Department of Development has analyzed the need to prepare and transmit an Application for Development Approval (ADA) for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Project as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI). The transmittal of the ADA to the RPC by the Commission has been approved by the Planning Advisory Board. The preparation and transmittal of an ADA for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Project DRI meets the requirements of an agreement entered into between the City (through the Downtown Development Authority) and Florida Department of Community Affairs to expedite the development of Bayside and Bayfront Park. The methodologies and assumptions contained in the ADA for Southeast Overtown/Park West are consistent with those utilized in the preparation of the ADA for the Downtown DRI. The ADA for Overtown/Park West facilitates the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan adopted by the Commission in 1982 by Resolution No. 82-755. Application filing fees for the ADA shall come from llth and 12th Year Community Development Block Grant Funds allocated to the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Project.

Planning Fact Sheet Executive Summary Overtown/Park West DRI 87-90 n 17 PLANNING FACT SHEET APPLICANT City of Miami Department of Developments December 230 1986 PETITION Consideration of recommending that the City Commission approve the transmittal to the South Florida Regional Planning Council of the Application for Development Approval for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Project as a Development of Regional Impact. REQUEST To submit an Application for Development Approval (ADA) for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Project as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) to the South Florida Regional Planning Council. .' BACKGROUND' As a result of an agreement between the City of Miami and the Florida Department of Community Affairs, in which the Bayside Specialty Center and Bayfront Park were allowed to proceed, the City was required to submit an 'ADA to the South Florida Regional Planning Council, for those lands within the Downtown Development Authority's (DDA) boundaries. The Park West portion of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Project lies within DDAs boundaries. The ADA for the geographic limits of the Redevelopment Project Area (including Southeast Overtown and Park West) will be submitted by the City of Miami under state enabling legislation that allows Redevelopment Agencies (the City of Miami) to submit ADAs for the territory under their jurisdiction. The submittal of an ADA for the entire project area, as a comprehensive package, allows the City to meet the intent of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Plan. The ADA does not include the amended redevelopment area boundaries, i.e., the proposed Gran Central project. That project is included in the ADA for Downtown. Z 87-90 s, Following this submittal to the South Florida Regional Planning Council, the Council staff will conduct a review for approximately 3 months; the Council will then make their recommendation to the City Commission as to whether the ADA should be approved. The City Commission will take the SFRPC recommendation under advisement and, issue a Development Order approving, or modifying with conditions, the DRI proposal. The benefits are three fold: a) Major proposed development, if it "fits" within the parameters of the Development Order can look for speedy approval. b) Fees will be returned to the City rather than being sent on to the SFRPC. c) The City is assured that necessary infrastructure is planned and funded in time to meet the needs of new development. ANALYSIS The ADA shows that significant employment opportunities and an expanded tax base will result from the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Project. It also shows that the necessary infrastructure will be in place to accommodate future growth with minimal impact to naturdl resources. Where impacts become significant as in the case of traffic, mitigation measures (physical improvements or better operating procedures) are provided. The ADA is consistent with the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Plan adopted in 1982 by City Commission Resolution No. 82-755 and County Commission Resolution No. 1677-82.

OVERTOWN/PARK WEST n-ol nr_K REDEVELOPMENT AREP C APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT DRI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Preface A Development of Regional Impact (DRI) Application for Development Approval (ADA) is a series of responses to environmental, transportation, economic and other questions posed by the South Florida Regional Planning Council (RPC). These questions are asked to assist the RPC in determining what negative and/or positive impacts a particular development will have on the environment and the carrying capacities of the highways, sewers, utilities, and public services (infrastructure) in the region. If a development does not negatively impact on regional infrastructure and environment, or if it does but mitigating actions are pledged by the developer, the RPC, will approve the issuance of a Development Order (D.O.) by the City or County. In 1980, the Florida Legislature added Section 380.06(22) to the Florida Statutes governing Developments of Regional impact to permit Downtown Development Authorities (and Redevelopment Agencies) to submit DRI applications covering all or part of those lands under their jurisdiction. The City of Miami serves as the Redevelopment Agency for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Project. By taking advantage of this legislative initiative the City will enhance the development potential of Southeast Overtown/Park West through sound planning and by relieving the costly, -time-consuming DRI burden from individual developers. Project Description The Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Project entails the redevelopment of 200 acres of prime real estate (see Map A) adjacent to the Miami Central Business District for new residential, office and commercial activity. Representing the culmination of a ten-year planning process by both the City of Miami and Metropolitan Dade County, the general redevelopment concept for the project is directed toward the provision of a wide range of housing opportunities for moderate income families (e.g., families with incomes ranging from $15,000 to $50,000) within a downtown setting. Also incorporated in the development plan is the provision of support services necessary to serve the area's future population. -1- 87-90 ?, In conformance with the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan (adopted "by both the Miami City Commission Resolution No. 82-755, and the Board of County Commissioners Resolution No. 1677-82), the role of the public sector will not be to undertake specific building programs but rather to facilitate overall development using a variety of positive investment incentives including special zoning designations, public land acquisition, financial subsidies and the provision of new public facilities and amenities. The City of Miami has initiated the redevelopment effort with a Phase I development action surrounding the Overtown Metrorai;l Transit Station. Land acquisition and relocation activities are nearly complete for the nine (9) Phase I development parcels. (See Map A). Developers and development programs (see Table I) have been selected for these parcels, with a combined construction cost estimated at over $190 million. Phase I development activities are scheduled to occur between 1986 and 1992, and result in approximately 2000 housing units, 166,000 square feet of office space, 66,200 square feet of retail space and a 16,500 seat sports arena. (The Application for Development Approval for the Miami Arena DRI has been submitted by the Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority). Also, Phase I anticipates the development of an exhibition hall containing 290,000 square feet. When all phases have been completed (estimated to occur by the year 2005), the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Project is intended to transform a presently blighted, underutilized land area into a socially and economically integrated community providing unique living and working opportunities in downtown Miami. Study Methodology This Application for Development Approval (ADA) for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Project differs significantly from the usual DRI, not only in magnitude, but more importantly 'in that there is no project specific development program after Phase I. The general framework for future development beyond Phase I is established in the adopted Redevelopment Plan for Southeast Overtown/Park West. Thus, the Southeast Overtown/Park West DRI must provide enough flexibility for long term (Phase II and Phase III) non project -specific development to occur anywhere outside of the Phase I development area where the necessary infrastructure and land use designation exists. -2- 87-90 The analysis has been conducted for three phases of development. The first phase of projected new development is planned to occur between 1986 and 1992. Phases II and III cover the periods 1992- 1997 and 1997-2005, respectively. The Development Order being sought will only entertain Phase I. Phases II and III are to be viewed as long range (10-20 year) planning that requires updating and more detailed evaluation in the future. The amount of development projected for each phase is based upon both market analysis and the intent' of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Plan. The growth projections and overall planning methodology employed, e.g., the debiting and crediting of capacity accounts', are compatible with projections and methodologies included in the ADA for the Downtown Miami DRI. Growth Projections The following growth projections were the basis of the DRI analysis: Phase I Phase II Phase III Land Use Growth Growth Growth Total Office 166,000 205,000 632,500 1,003,500 Retail/Service 66,200 37,300. 90,600 194,100 Hotel (Rooms) 500 600 1,100 Residential (Units) 2,000 2,000 51000 9,000 Exhibition Hall 290,000 3100000 600,000 Employment Over 12,000 construction jobs will be generated over the three phases of projected growth through the year 2005. Additionally, the City has established a minority hiring goal for construction jobs generated by Southeast Overtown/Park West. In the Overtown portion of the project area the goal is that 50% of the construction jobs be targeted to blacks. It is anticipated that approximately 376 new permanent retail jobs and 4,460 office jobs will also be generated between 1986 and 2005. -3- r -- Revenues The growth scenarios listed above will have a substantial impact on the tax base of the City, the County and the School Board. Based on 1985 millage rates and an assessment to value ratio of 75%, over $12,000,000 in new ad valorem taxes could be realized resulting from new growth in Southeast Overtown/Park West from 1986 to 2005. The City's share of this will be approximately $4 million. Furthermore, over $3 million in non ad valorem revenues (permit fees, water and sewer, Metromover assessments, etc.) could also be generated from the projected growth between 1986 and 2005. This does not include impact fees that the City and County may assess new development. Summary of Findings and Recommendations Following is a summary of the findings and recommendations contained in each of the major topics (questions) required to be addressed in the ADA for Southeast Overtown/Park West. Questions 1-3 are application formalities not included in this Summary. Question 4s Air Quality Federally mandated standards for carbon monoxide (CO) levels could be violated in very localized "hot spots" if vehicular traffic flow is not properly managed. The one monitoring station with proximity to the Redevelopment Project Area (on Flagler Street) shows existing CO concentrations high enough to suggest that the RPC and Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) may require individual developments to prepare air quality modeling studies, and to implement all traffic flow improvements necessary to correct any CO violations predicted by the studies. However, the consultant believes that the modeling procedures required by FDER will greatly overestimate CO concentrations caused by new development, resulting in potential denial of projects or exaction of unnecessary, costly transportation improvements. -4- 87-90 di The ADA recommends that one additional CO monitoring station be established in Southeast Overtown/Park West in order to document lower CO concentrations in this area, thereby eliminating the need for air quality modeling studies by individual developers. The estimated $39,750.00 capital cost and $10,500.00 annual operating cost of this monitoring station may be funded by developer contributions. Question 5: Water Quality/Drainage Numerous studies have documented that existing water quality problems in Biscayne Bay and the Miami River are primarily caused by pollutants carried by storm water runoff. The solution to the problem in Southeast Overtown/Park West is to eliminate existing storm water collection systems that drain directly into thefBay and River and replace them with collection systems that direct storm water into the ground. Since all new development is already required to comply with strict on -site drainage standards, the redevelopment of Southeast Overtown/Park West can only result in improved water quality. The ADA recommends a groundwater testing program to verify that there are no effects from deep well drainage systems; and a monitoring program at existing storm water outfalls to be carried out by the City's Public Works Department to help prioritize the need for replacement of drainage systems in public streets. Question 6: Wetlands Not Applicable Question 7: Flood Prone'Areas The majority of the project area is classified as Zone C and lies outside the 100 year flood and is subject to minimal flooding. The ADA recommends- that existing flood protection criteria and procedures are sufficient to protect property from flooding and storm surge. Question 8: Vegetation and Wildlife The only regional issues concerning vegetation and wildlife are continued efforts to protect endangered manatees in the Miami River (outside the study area) and prohibition against use of certain plant materials considered potentially harmful to human health or the environment. The ADA recommends a list of approved planting materials and that efforts to protect the manatee be continued. -5- 87.90 s Question 9: Historic and Archeological Sites The ADA identifies eight (8) buildings and one (1) archeological zone worthy of listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The ADA recommends management plans to encourage preservation. Question 10: Employment and Economic Characteristics See discussion of employment and revenues on page 3 and 4. Question 11: Transportation To determine the capacity of the existing transportation network to accommodate Phase I growth, all existing streets, bridges, parking and transit facilities were built into the analysis as well as committed improvements, i.e., funded, underway, or improvements required as a part of an issued development order. The Metromover extensions to the Omni and Brickell areas, though not fully "committed," were considered in the transportation analysis and conclusions. The ADA recommends that the existing and committed transportation network will be able to adequately accommodate the Phase I growth scenario. Parking supply and policies are being studied as part of the Dade County Parking/Transit Ridership Study currently underway. That study will be completed and its conclusions considered prior to the completion of the Southeast Overtown/park West DRI approval process. Question 12A: Wastewater, Water and Solid Waste The county -wide capacity for wastewater treatment, water treatment and solid waste disposal is projected to be more than adequate to serve future growth in Southeast Overtown/Park West, based upon capital improvements planned by Metro Dade County. The ADA recommends a monitoring program to ensure that new development cannot outpace the implementation of the needed capital improvements. The existing construction permitting system ensures that developers pay their fair share of countywide improvements and any necessary improvements . to the local distribution lines for water and sanitary sewer. -6- 87-9Q '-' Question 12B: Health Care, Police and Fire The ADA recommends that there are n regional concern identified for these impact fees and voter approved bond capital improvements (mainly equipment) Fire Department. Increased property sufficient to cover increased operating growth. Question 12C: Energy o issues of significant services. City of Miami issues will provide for needed by the Police and tax revenue should be expenses related to new Planned Florida Power and Light Company improvements will provide sufficient electrical power to serve Southeast Overtown/Park West. The ADA recommends a monitoring program to ensure that needed improvements are implemented coincident with new development. Energy efficient construction guidelines have been adopted and are recommended for new development. Question 12D: Education A new Booker T. Washington Jr. High School (which can be expand into a senior high school) is being built and a new school facility for Riverside Elementary is being planned to serve the project area. The ADA recommends a monitoring program to inform the Dade County School System of proposed new residential development and aid in planning for future enrollment. Question 12E: Recreation and Open Saace The ADA recommends that future open space and recreation needs be provided by improvements to existing publicly owned lands and requirements for on -site open space/recreation facilities in new private development. Guidelines have been adopted and two pedestrian malls are planned to meet the ADA recommendation. Question 13: Housing Approximately 2000 new residential units are planned for Phase I. These units will provide both owner and renter tenancy opportunities. For sale housing unit prices will start at approximately $50,000 and renter occupied units are expected to. lease for $425.00 per month (one bedroom). The ADA recommends that the City assist housing construction and where appropriate housing rehabilitation with all available resources. - 7- 87 g 0 9 At Table I Phase I Approved Development Program Southeast Overtown/Pant West Community Redevelopment Project DEVELOPER PROGRAM TOTAL EST.
