APPROPRIATENESS OF A DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL
IMPACT APPLICATION (DRI) FOR THE BAYSIDE
PROJECT AND/OR THE BAYFRONT PARK REDEVELOP-
MENT PROJECT.
WHEREAS, the Bayside Project and the Bayfront Park Redevelop-
ment Project will have substantial and beneficial economic impact
on Miami, will improve the ambiance and quality of life in
Downtown Miami, and will provide in excess of 2,000 much needed
jobs for Miami residents; and
WHEREAS, in the opinion of the Board of the Downtown
Development Authority, neither the Bayside Project nor th-e
Bayfront Park Redevelopment Project when considered individually
or collectively meet the criteria as set forth in Section 380.06
of the Florida Statutes for developments defined as Developments.
of Regional Impact; and
WHEREAS, the environmental, economic and physical issues and
impacts that would be addressed in a DRI application have been
adequately raised and resolved by previous DRI applicatiomss
submitted and approved for several projects in the immediate area
of the subject projects; and
WHEREAS, if a determination is made that the above -named
projects, individually or collectively are Developments of
Regional Impact, the requirement for the preparation of a DRI

Development Action Grant but for which the $160,000,000 Bayfront
Park Redevelopment Project and Bayside would not both be realized
as planned; and
WHEREAS, the Downtown Development Authority in conjunction
with the City of Miami Planning Development are progressing
toward a master DRI application that would encompass the entire
Downtown Miami area including the subject projects;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI# FLORIDA:
Section 1. Governor Graham is hereby urged to assist the
City of Miami in the realization of the Bayside Project and the
Bayfront Park Redevelopment Project by exempting said Projects as
allowed by law from any requirements that may arise if it is
determined that Chapter 380 of the Florida Statutes is applicable
to these Projects as being Developments of Regional Impact.
Section 2. A meeting between the Governor and City and
Downtown Development Authority representatives is hereby
requested to be scheduled at the Governor's earliest convenience
