The federally funded Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) Program
has provided cities across the nation with an instrument with which
to stimulate economic development, create new employment
opportunities, and increase the tax base needed to fund essential
services. Through the UDAG program, cities are able to participate
with private sector developers in financing projects ranging from
Y
industrial parks to luxury hotels which, without the program, would
have a slim chance of being implemented.
While UDAG funds are provided in the form of loans to project
developers, they are awarded to the City and funds generated can be
used to support staff or consultants working on the UDAG program, as
well as fund Community Development projects in the City's low and
moderate income target areas.
Besides providing additional funds for eligible Community Development
activities, UDAGs increase the city's tax base, cause infusion of

private dollar investment into the City's economy, as well as create
temporary construction jobs and additional permanent employment.
The proposed project meets all the aforementioned requirements and
provides an opportunity to build a professional office building in a
fast growing area characterized by a great demand for office space,
particularly physicians and lawyers. This project will be located at
1469 N.W. 13th Terrace in the Allapattah Community Development target
area, and consists of the construction of a seven (7) story building
and a basement, containing approximately 20,432 square feet of net
leasable area and 23,497 square feet of gross construction area. The
project also includes a basement providing (with the ground level) 56
parking spaces.
It is anticipated that the activity will generate 40 construction
jobs and 50 full time permanent new ones. The cost of the project is
$2,615,550; and the developer is requesting $5O0,O0O in UDAG funds.
Expeditious approval of the attached resolution is recommended in
order that the UDAG application may be submitted to U.S. HUD in a
timely manner for the current round of UDAG funding.

Statement of Pat Keller, President, Allapattah Community
{` Association
Names of property owned by Pat Keller, located within three (3)
"n blocks of property in question:
1) Lots 14 & 15, Blanton Park
~S
2) Lot 34, St. Johns Park
r
3) 1520-22 N.W. 15 Avenue
The Allapattah Community Association (ACA) agrees that the
building located at 1469 N.W. 13 Terrace should be finished. At
present, there is an obstruction of the sidewalk and a hideous
appearance.
The ACA would like to see the plans and comments of the City of
Miami Planning Department, and have the names and addresses of
all the owners.
The ACA is concerned with the fact that the rest of this area
x
needs addressing too. The ACA would not be willing to permit any
spot zoning. The surrounding small area should receive benefits
as well.
5 The rear of the building faces N.W. 14 Street. There are no
curbs, gutters, nor trees as a result of thirty-five (35) years
of neglect. In the immediate area also is N.W. 15 Avenue and
N.W. 16 Avenue. Both extend from N.W. 14 Street to N.W. 15
Street Road. Here, too, there are no curbs, gutters or trees--
thirty-five (35) years of neglect.
To give UDAG monies solely to this building and not support the
businesses and homes in the immediate vicinity of this building
�br is not constructive.
