SUBJECT Analysis and Recommendation:
Brickell Station Towers
Project
o riguez, Director
P ng Department
Project Description
Brickell Station Towers Inc. has proposed a project to be located at
approximately 32-90 SW 8th Street, 801-899 SW 2nd Avenue, 61.49 SW 9th Street.
The Project includes:
-- one 28 story office tower with approximately 284,110 square feet in
office use
-- retail uses on the first floor of 13,231 square feet
-- provision of a total of 525 parking spaces including 41 existing
surface spaces
This project meets the criteria for a major use; being in excess of 200,000
square feet of floor area of office and commercial uses and including in
excess of 500 offstreet parking spaces.
I
Analysis - The project is estimated to produce 900 permanent new jobs,
representing approximately $7,200,000 in value added to the regional economy.
Approximately 306 persons will be temporary full-time employees during the 24
month construction period, and will receive an estimated $13,800,000 in salary
and wages. Total construction costs are estimated to amount to $45,000,000.
The developer will also provide for the preparation of a Minority
Participation and Employment Plan, and a Minority Contractors/Subcontractors
Participation Plan.
Environment - The proposed project should not create an adverse impact on the
environmentand natural resources of the City, i.e. air quality, ground water,
soils, animal life, vegetation, wastewater management and solid waste
disposal. Conditions are recommended in the Development Order to assure a)
traffic management to minimize air pollution, and b) building design to
minimize energy consumption, and c) address other environmental issues.
Public Facilities and Services - Municipal services are currently adequate for
e Brickell area. wever, as the Brickell area continues to develop, there
will be an increased demand for fire, emergency rescue and police services.
Conditions are recommended to include a one-year study of future police and
fire services in the area, which will address any potential future
deficiencies.
Page 1 of 2 84-JL316
ri
Planning Advisory Board November 7, 1984
Access and Circulation - The following programmed and planned public
improvements will improve traffic movement in the area; employer -based
variable work hours; preferential parking areas for high occupancy vehicles;
pronozion of carpooling; shuttle service to the Brickell Metrorail Station;
the Miami Avenue bascule bridge; improvement of bridge approaches; widen 3
lanes and reconstruction of SW 7th Street, resurfacing and resignalization of
SW 8th Street; a pedestrian mall on S14 10th Street between Miami Avenue and SW
1 Avenue; upgrading of signalization on SW 13th Street from Miami Avenue west;
and increased hours of operation of Metrorail. The applicant will provide
adjacent road or signalization improvements as finally determined based on
ongoing traffic studies of the overall Brickell Avenue area.
The developer has agreed to participate in an ongoing traffic management study
of the entire Brickell Area bounded by the Miami River, SW 15 Road, Biscayne
Bay and the Metrorail. Some of the improvements recommended by this study
will be borne by the various developers. Programmed and planned public
improvements will also be incorporated into the study.
Land Use - The project is consistent with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood
Plan -and with the SPI-7 Brickell-Miami River Rapid Transit Commercial
Residential District of Ordinance 9500.
Recommendation - This project is currently under review by the Florida
Departmeff__FF Community Affairs in regard to future traffic which will be
generated by this and other developments in the Brickell area. In an attempt
to meet the concerns raised by D.C.A. the developer has submitted three
separate site plans: alternative A, June 25, 1984; alternative B,
September 25, 1984; and alternative C, October 29, 1984. This department
prefers an alternative which provides for no vehicular ingress or egress on SW
9th Street and an exit only on SW 1st Avenue.
The D.C.A. has tentatively indicated the need for both ingress and egress on
SW 1st Avenue. This department will defer to D.C.A. on this issue, providing
V that further traffic studies indicate this arrangement is required to handle
the projected traffic.
Also, the applicant recognizes his responsibility to continue to provide
offsite parking for the existing tenants of the Western Union Office building
on this site by providing an equivalent number of offsite parking spaces
during the construction stage of the project. "Equivalent," in this instance,
shall mean a maximum of 2 offsite parking space per 500 square feet of office
area, and a minimum 1 offsite parking space per 1000 square feet of office
area.
