SCOPE OF AGREEMENT:
A. The AUTHORITY intends to submit an ADA for a Downtown DRI
covering the area shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference (hereinafter "the Downtown
Area"). Said ADA shall be submitted pursuant to the terms and
-Z-
8`'-1237
I
conditions contained in the "Predevelopment Agreement" between
the CITY, the AUTHORITY, and DCA (attached as Exhibit B) and
shall consider the improved Bayfront Park pursuant to the
Bayfront Park Redevelopment Project, Bayside Specialty Center and
the Parking Garage as committed development.
B. This Agreement shall not be construed to commit the CITY and
AUTHORITY to filing an ADA for a Downtown DRI, nor amend or
modify the Predevelopment Agreement and shall only be construed
as establishing an understanding between the parties for them to
follow in the event that the CITY and AUTHORITY in fact prepare
an ADA for a Downtown DRI.
C. The ADA will be filed by the AUTHORITY under Section
380.06(22) F.S.(1985) DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES. The ADA
3
will respond to the questions attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit C, which is incorporated herein by reference.
{
D. Project Boundaries.
The project area will include the entire area within the
Downtown Development Authority Boundaries with the exception of
d
the area that is also within the boundaries of the Southeast
Overtown/Park West Redevelopment area as shown in Exhibit A.
Impacts from the Southeast Overtown/Park West Project will be
incorporated into the ADA in the form of a committed development.
E. Analysis Increments.
The data will be provided for
5, 10, and 20 year increments.
Emphasis will be placed on impacts
and infrastructure needs for
the first 5 year increment. The 10 and 20 year increments are
viewed primarily as general long range
planning tools that will
require more detailed evaluation at
a future date.
F. Land Use Categories.
The land use categories and
units of measure will be as
follows:
Y`
1. gross sq. ft. retail floor
space
2. gross sq. ft. office floor
space
- 3-
85 -123'7
3. gross sq. ft. service/institutional floor space
4. gross sq. ft. wholesale/industrial floor space
5. number of hotel rooms
6. number of residential units by type
7. number of seats and gross square footage in attractions
and recreation facilities
8. Marina wet and dry slips
9. Convention/Exhibition gross square footage and seating
G. Sub -Areas.
The analysis will be conducted, where appropriate, for three
sub -areas within the project boundaries: Brickell, Central
Business District, and Omni as shown in Exhibit A. It will also
include impacts from a fourth sub -area, the Southeast Overtown
Park West project area, which will be analyzed in a separate DRI
application and treated as a committed development project within
the downtown -wide DRI.
H. Life Span of D.O.
The downtown -wide Development Order will be modeled after
the Master Development Plan guidelines described in Section
380.06(20) F.S. (1985). The first increment of development will
be based upon the capacity to support new development with
infrastructure improvements planned for the first 5 years. In
the event that buildout of the amount of development approved in
the D.O. extends beyond five years, the D.O. will remain in
effect until such development is constructed, but no longer than
an additional five years beyond the initial increment pursuant to
the substantial deviation provision of Section
380.06(19)(c)F.S.(1985). The Development Order will specify
research needed to monitor generation and use rates as well as
aspects of the ADA. that will have to be updated in order to
extend the Development Order and proceed into the next phase of
the Master Development Plan.
-4-
8"'-123'7
f
I. Interim Development.
Individual DRI scale projects seeking development approval
will be processed under existing procedures until the Downtown
Development Order is issued. It is intended that all subsequent
developments in excess of 10,000 gross square feet, which have
not filed individual RDAs, will be governed by the Downtown
Development Order.
J. Existing Development Orders (D.O.'s).
Individual projects having Development Orders existing prior
to execution of the Downtown Development Order will have whatever
vested rights are granted in their D.O.'s as long as those D.O.'s
remain in effect.
K. Infrastructure "Capacity Banks".
The ADA will specify an approvable amount of development in
terms of the land use categories listed in Article III Paragraph
F (above), and will appear in a table similar to Table 3.1 of the
Questionnaire attached as Exhibit C. This approvable quantity of
development will be derived from a series of "infrastructure
capacity banks" for such measures as trips, gallons of water,
gallons of wastewater, and other necessary facilities/services.
Two types of infrastructure capacity accounts will be established
as follows:
1. Planning account
-Debited when Major Use Special Permit or building
permit is issued.
+Credited when infrastructure improvement is
"Committed," as defined in Article III Paragraph N
(below).
2. Monitoring account
-Debited when space is occupied by tenants or uses
+Credited when infrastructure improvement is opened for
service
-5-
S :-123'7
The land use mix specified in the ADA will be permitted to be
modified by converting one land use to another, provided that
such conversion does not exceed available credits in the
infrastructure capacity accounts.
L. Infrastructure Credits.
All development or redevelopment that results in a net
increase of more than 10,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area will be
required to be assigned "Infrastructure Credits" from the
infrastructure capacity bank. Such Infrastructure Credits will
be reserved for an individual project at the time of approval of
a Major Use Special Permit or (in the case of smaller projects)
at the time of issuance of a building permit. If a project does
not begin construction within a limited time period, its credit
reservation will expire and those credits will be available for
s other projects. Once reserved for an individual project,
i
i Infrastructure Credits will run with the land and the specific
project that received approval. Thus, if the land is sold, the
Infrastructure Credits can be exercised by the new owner,
provided that the project plans remain substantially unchanged in
terms of impact on infrastructure. These credits shall run with
the land and cannot be transferred apart from the land.
M. Annual Report.
i
The Authority will submit an annual report which includes
5
1
the status of each infrastructure capacity account, a list of
projects and their debits and credits against the infrastructure
capacity bank within the previous year, an update on funding and
status of infrastructure improvement projects. The annual report
will also include findings from specific studies specified in the
.r;
Downtown Development Order to test assumptions and projections in
the initial ADA Examples of such studies would be selected
traffic counts, auto occupancy, transit ridership, building
x�
occupancy, rate of construction, etc. During the first year, the
N
status of the infrastructure capacity bank will be reported semi-
-6- 8` -1237
i
r
,r
annually and, thereafter at any lesser frequency as determined by
the SFRPC.
N. "Committed" Infrastructure Improvements.
The 5-year Capital Improvement Programs will be used to
project planned infrastructure capacity; however, infrastructure
improvements will not be credited to the infrastructure capacity
bank until officially "Committed". "Committed" means having
construction funds allocated for the current year in a 5 year
capital improvement program, in the case of infrastructure
improvements to be made by a public agency. Infrastructure
improvements to be funded or constructed by private developers
will be considered to be "committed" if their bonding, funding,
or construction is required in a Major Use Special Permit,
building permit, or plat approval. In such cases, certificates
of occupancy and any subsequent building permits within the
specific project will not be issued until the developer(s)
fulfill all such infrastructure improvement responsibilities.
O. Public Agency Performance.
The goal is to complete infrastructure improvements on or
before the date of occupancy of new uses that generate the need
for increased infrastructure capacity. However, it is recognized
that public improvements occasionally experience unforeseen
delays. To minimize the probability of such delays, the analysis
will include only those infrastructure improvements that are
considered to be assured of commitment during the first 5 years.
However, if a public agency infrastructure improvement is
properly "committed", credited to the infrastructure capacity
bank, and Major Use Special Permits or building permits are
issued based upon commitment of that infrastructure improvement,
then the permitted development cannot be subject to suspension of
construction or withholding of certificates of occupancy due to
failure of a public agency to fulfill a commitment.
-7-
8" -�123'7
I
If a delay occurs in the initial "commitment" of a public
agency infrastructure improvement, and there are no available
Development Credits in the bank, the permitting of new
development will be suspended in the sub -area that the public
agency infrastructure improvement is to serve. Such suspension
in permitting may be avoided by satisfying one of the following:
? 1) Find an alternative method of funding or otherwise
�? "committing" the infrastructure improvement(s);
2) Prepare an analysis to show that the infrastructure
improvement is not necessary to serve the needs of the
new development project(s) seeking permits to be agreed
( to by the SFRPC and DCA; or
3) In the event that no alternative funding
commitment(s) are available and an analysis cannot be
prepared showing that infrastructure improvement(s) are
S
i
i
not necessary then conduct a Substantial Deviation
i
determination pursuant to Section 380.06(19)
F.S.(1985).
P. Level of Service (LOS)
The goal for the street system is to maintain Level of
Service LOS "D" or better, wherever possible within the
limitations of physical, historic, or aesthetic constraints.
Wherever a roadway link or intersection projected to drop below
LOS "D" is found to be physically, historically, or aesthetically
impossible to improve, then the subject roadway link or
intersection may be allowed to drop to LOS "E", provided that all
relevant and feasible management techniques have been applied.
Examples of management techniques that can be used include, but
are not limited to the following: street improvements at other
locations aimed at diverting traffic, flexible work hours,
transit subsidies, and parking restrictions.
Q. Development Capacity.
Wherever feasible, the CITY will attempt to generate an
infrastructure capacity planning account that substantially
-8-
8u -123'7
a
3
exceeds the capacity necessary to support the quantity of
development projected by market analysis. This "excess" capacity
is necessary to account for developments that may seek to reserve
development credits without actually reaching completion and/or
occupancy within the development order phase.
During each increment of development, staff of the AUTHORITY,
CITY, and SFRPC will review trends in the relationship between
the "infrastructure planning account" and the "infrastructure
monitoring account" to find a mutually agreeable formula to
account for reserved, but unused development credits by
incorporating the "infrastructure monitoring account" into the
development permitting process.
R. Application Questionnaire.
In developing the Downtown DRI Application, the parties
shall use substantially the same questionnaire attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit C. Any changes,
alterations, or amendments to the questionnaire shall be agreed
to in writing by the parties.
S. Law and Policy Changes
This Agreement may be modified to incorporate changes that
result from interpretations and changes in policies, regulations
and statutes that are less restrictive than those contained and
reflected in this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
instrument to be executed by the respective officials thereunto
duly authorized, this day and year first above written.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION - DOWNTOWN MASTER
PLAN/DRI AGREEMENT
FROM: Cesar H. Odio REFERENCEs: CITY COMMISSION AGENDA OF
City Manager ko ENCLOSURES: DECEMBER 19, 1985
-
It is recommended that the Commission authorize the
City Manager to execute an agreement in `su s an aTTy
e form attacnea witn the South Florida Regional
Planning Council defining the approach and procedures
Tor uncertaKing a Development of Regional Impact
Application for Develo5ment ADDrovalor the downtown
area, pursuant to unapter s:iu.uelzz) r.5.
Before commencing the preparation of an Application for Development Approval
for the entire downtown area as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI), the
Administration has considered it prudent to execute a formal agreement with
the South Florida Regional Planning Council establishing the procedures to be
followed and the questions that will be answered. A formal agreement is
necessary to protect the City against future changes in the procedures or
scope of the project that could result in additional delays or expense for the
City and its consultants. Such changes can be anticipated for the following
f two reasons: 1) This will be the first downtown DRI ever attempted in the
South Florida Region, or anywhere in the State since adoption of the 1985
Growth Management Legislation; therefore, there are no pre-existing guides and
standards. 2) Recent resignations of three key staff members of the South
Florida Regional Planning Council will result in new ideas and leadership.
f The Council has scheduled this agreement to be considered at its January 6,
1986 meeting.
Background and Purpose
The DRI application was initiated to fulfill a contractual obligation created
by the City's Predevelopment Agreement with the Florida Department of
Community Affairs concerning the Baysi de Specialty Center and Bayfront Park
Amphitheater. The terms of that agreement require the City to file a DRI
application for the entire downtown before June 28, 1986. In exchange, the
Bayside project and the amphitheater were permitted to proceed with
} construction without filing an individual DRI application. The principal
benefits of a downtown DRI are: 1) to rigorously analyze and quantify the
present and future needs for public facilities and services, and then to
secure commitments for funding of such needs from the private sector or
t appropriate levels of government; and 2) to remove the costly, time-consuming
Regional Planning Council review process from individual projects, thereby
3 improving the ability of downtown to compete for new development with other
areas such as West Dade and Broward County.

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
How the DRI will work
A downtown DRI is intended to assure that public infrastructure is provided
when it is needed to serve new development and that environmental quality is
preserved and enhanced. Public inf rastructure includes roads, public
transportation, water supply, sanitary sewers, storm drainage, parks, schools,
police and fire protection, solid waste disposal, and hazardous waste
disposal. Environmental and related considerations include air quality, water
quality, soils, vegetation, energy, and historic/archeologic resources.
3 In the most simplistic terms, the downtown DRI process can be described as
follows. First, the capacity of each individual infrastructure system will be
measured in terms of its capacity to support development. Second, City,
County, State, and private sector infrastructure improvements programmed
during the next 5 years will be measured in terms of the additional
development carrying capacity they will provide. The capacity of the existing
and 5 year programmed infrastructure, compared with the infrastructure demands
of existing and committed development, will determine how much new development
can be approved before additional infrastructure must be provided. Based upon
the results of this technical analysis, the City will negotiate with the South
Florida Regional Council and Florida Department of Community Affairs to draft
satisfactory conditions, for the Development Order, to be issued by the City.
The Development Order (D.O.) for downtown will indicate how much new
development can be approved during the next 5 years contingent upon commitment
of construction funds for all necessary infrastructure improvements. The D.O.
will also contain certain regulatory requirements to ensure protection of the
environment and special resources. Once the downtown D.O. is adopted by the
City Commission, individual projects will no longer be required to submit DRI
applications to the South Florida Regional Planning Council. Instead, all
projects will be evaluated by the City of Miami for compliance with the
downtown D.O.
Public Policy Considerations
1. The Governor and the State Legislature have made growth management an
important State priority. The recent legislative session mandated growth
management policies that require orderly growth be achieved through
linking development approval to the ability of infrastructure systems and
the environment to support it. To achieve this linkage, local governments
will have to ensure that construction funds for needed infrastructure
improvements are committed prior to issuing building permits. This may
involve the use of impact fees and other forms of developer exactions.
However, given the already high cost of developing in Downtown Miami, the
City must aggressively pursue additional forms of funding (local, County,
State, and Fec'eral ) to support infrastructure needs if it is to remain
competitive wi;:h other commercial growth centers such as West Dade.
Further, zoninti policies will have to be guided, if not governed, by
infrastructure c-apaci ty considerations.

Honorable Mayor and Members

2. Because of the above State-wide growth management legislation, the
potential exists to encounter mandatory moratoriums on new building
s permits until funding for infrastructure improvements is secured. A
R moratorium situation is not expected to occur in Downtown Miami during the
next 5 years because most of the required infrastructure is already in
place. However, long delays in important projects like the bifurcated
ramps in DuPont Plaza could create future capacity problems.
3. The concept of a downtown DRI requires that all new development .over
10,000 sq. ft. in floor area be measured against the capacity of the
infrastructure systems, rather than limiting such consideration to just
the large scale projects. This would be the first time that smaller scale
projects are subject to this type of evaluation.
4. As a condition in the downtown D.O. the City will be expected to adopt
certain ordinances providing additional regulations dealing with such
things as measures to reduce pollutants in surface water runoff and
standards for collection of hazardous waste. The City must be mindful of
administrative costs of enforcing such regulations and the potential for
discouraging development in downtown through burdensome regulations that
do not apply in locations outside of the downtown.
Status of Agreement with South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC)
The attached agreement has been negotiated during the past several months with
staff of the South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC). All but the
following major issues have been agreed upon between the City an GounciT
sTa7t. on January G, 1986, the SFRFE. will IDe presented with their staff's
recommendations on these issues, while City staff will be present to argue for
' the City's position as adopted by the Commission and represented in the
attached agreement.
1. Life Span of the D.O.
e D.O. will aut ize a certain amount of development that can be
approved during a 5 year period. The SFRPC staff wants the D.O. to be
effective for only 5 or 6 years, regardless of the actual pace of new
development. The City wants the flexibility to keep the D.O. effective
for up to 10 years or until completion of all development permitted in the
D.O., whichever comes first (see page 4, item H).
2. Public Agency Performance
e City staft considers the following paragraph to be essential, but the
SFRPC staff wants it to be stricken from the agreement (see page 7, second
paragraph in item Q).
"However, if a public agency infrastructure improvement is properly
"committed", credited to the infrastructure capacity bank, and Major Use
Special Permits or building permits are issued based upon commitment of
that infrastructure improvement, then the permitted development cannot be
subject to suspension of construction or withholding of certificates of
occupancy due to failure of a public agency to fulfill a commitment."
