Construction and land clearing have begun on -site. Tne Appllcaf�ft intends and has existing permits to build the project as a 17-story, 267,000 square foot structure. Once the Applicant decided to expand the scale of the project beyond presumptive DRI thresholds, an ADA was submitted. The Applicant Intends to continue construction and, if the project is dented DRI approval, will cap the building at 17 stories and 267,000 square feet, as originally planned and permitted. The property is zoned SPi-5 (Brickell-Miami River Residential Office District) according to the City of Miami Zoning Text, September 23, 1982. According to the text, "It is intended that major portions of principal buildings shall in general be to the form of slender towers, leaving ample open spaces at or near the ground, minimizing impediments to portions of the norizon involving Important vleivs, and protecting the open character". Established under a 1962 amendment to the Miami Zoning Text, the Special Public Interest (SPI) District for the Brickell area requires a special permit for construction of any new principal structure, or modification of any vehicular ►xay or exterior configuration of an existing building. The uses proposed by the Applicant - office, financial institutions, ancillary retail, restaurants, and off-street parking - are consistent with the uses permitted in the zoning district. The Miami Comprehensive Nelghbornood Plan 1976-1986 designates the area as "Brickell Office" and proposes to "concentrate office development along Brickell Avenue and reinforce pedestrian activities." 8 84-589, n PART It - SUMMARY OF PROJECT IMPACTS A. ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES 1. Air Complex source permits are no longer required by either the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) or Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). However, one- and eignt-hour average carbon monoxide concentrations were estimated by the Applicant using the metnodologies previously required for a complex source permit application. Existing concentrations for the area were estimated using data generated for the James L. Knight Center and Tishman-Speye,/Equitable Joint Venture projects. Concentrations for 1986 were estimated using the dispersion model. Worst case carbon monoxide concentrations in 1954 are estimated at 15.3 and 9.2 mg/m7 for one -hour and eight-nour periods, respectively, with predicted 1966 (project buildout) concentrations of 15.3 and 9.2 mg/m3. These values do not exceed State standards of 40 mg/m3 for a one -hour period and 10 mg/m3 for an elghf-hour period; however, the Applicant should encourage the use of mass transit, bicycles, and ride sharing to reduce air pollution generated by the project. i 3 9 ' 0 Speclficaily, mass transit information, such as bus and metroralI schedules and bus routes, should be provided in project common areas; at least two percent of all parking spaces, all to be located within a maximum eighty feet of an elevator serving that floor, on the third and fourth parking levels, and at a cost no greater than 50 percent of the cost of a standard parking space, should be reserved for carpool and vanpool parking; a car and/or van pool program should be implemented to encourage ride sharing and make ride sharing information readily available; and bicycle storage should be provided in the first level of the garage area. In addition to these measures, transportation improvements recommended for construction by the Applicant should improve traffic flows in the area, further reducing air pollution created by the project. While modelling undertaken by the Applicant did not predict exceedances of air quality standards, no actual ail- quality monitoring, to provide reliable data, nas been donee in this part of Briekell Avenue for several years. Due to extensive development activity currently underway along the Brickell Avenue corridor, and the associated increase in traffic, it now is evident that monitoring is necessary in order to establisn baseline data for accurate impact analysis of all future development, Including the cumulative effects of non-DRI projects. Tnerefore, the Applicant should install an air quality monitoring 10 84-589. station and conduct air quality monitoring for two weeks at a location to be agreed upon, along witn study pare -meters and reporting requirements, by the Applicant, the City, the Council, and the Department of Environmental Resources "anagement. Also, the City should establish an air quality monitoring program of fine Brickell to Omnl area and require monitoring by developments In order to obtain accurate and reliable air quality data for the entire impact area. This program should coordinate the installation of monitoring stations throughout the area. 2. Land, Water, and Wetlands The 2.06 acres of the project site have been cleared and project construction has begun. Soli on -site consists of a layer of sand, varying from 2 to 6 feet deep, underlain by a dense crust of oolltic limestone on top of sands and sandy limestone. According to the Applicant's soil znalysls, the subsurface condlilons should not pose any consiraltills to the development, in areas ;here organic soil is found, it will be removed and replaced by fill. The Applicant proposes to control any wind erosion by spraying or wetting of exposed surfaces. There are no water bodies or wetland associations on -site. Groundwater in the vicinity is brackish to saline, rendering it unfit for human consumption or irrigation. I 0 3. Flood Prone Areas The site Is classified within Zone Aa-14 of the Federal Flood Insurance Maps, witn a 100-year first floor flood elevation of 11 feet (NGVD). The Dade County Flood Criteria Map for 10-year storms prescribes a minimum ground elevation of 5.0 feet (NGVD). The first floor elevation of the office tower will be 13 feet (NGVD), two feet above the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) requirements, and the floor elevation of the first parking level will be 5.5 feet (NGVD). 4. Vegetation and Wildlife Prior to recent clearing, the site contained several species of trees, including desirables such as black olive and Cuban royal palm, and undesirable exotics like Australian pine. The Miami Urban Design Board nas approved a plan that retains many of the existing desirable trees as part of project landscaping, relocates otners, and eliminates otners. Most on -site trees have been either relocated or destroyed according to the plan. When construction is complete, the relocated trees will eitner be brought back to the site or permanently relocated wltntn the City. The Applicant has stated that only non-invasive species adapted to South Florida climate will be used. 12 i 84-589. A1W A1, 5. Historical and Archeological Sites The project site, according to the Dade County Archeologist, does not contain any recorded archeological or historical sites. lne initial excavation was monitored by Dade County and no sites were found. A historic site, Dr. Jackson's house, is located directly east of the project at 190 S.E. 12tn Terrace. in the event of uncovering any potentially significant nistoric or archaeological artifacts, State and local 'historic preservation officials should be notified and construction should be delayed up to three montns until tney can survey and excavate the site. 8. ECONOMY 1. Project Cost As indicated in Table 2, the project is estimated by the Applicant to cost a total of S80.i million (1983 dollars). An estimated 569.7 million, or 87 percent, is to be spent in the four -county region (including Palm Seacn).

Construction Employment and Associated Re_glonal Economic impact Tne Applicant estimates th;a' obout 987 temporary full-time equivalent (FTE) construction jobs wouiO be sopporfpd by the project over the two year construction period. Construction wages are projected to total $22.5 million (1933 dollars) wltn an average $22,813 per employee -year. Using the Council's computerized input-output model, developed specifically for the South Florida Region plus Palm Beach County, the cumulative effect of project construction is about 1,75E jobs in the four -county area, representing �31.8 million in total wages, and S84.1 million In output value, of which S41.2 million could be net value added to the regional economy (Table 1). 3. Permanent Employmen' The Applicant projects 1,602 ;crnanent employees at project completion, with 24 In retalIIng and personal services and 1,5-78 in office activitles typical of Brl(:keli Avenue (Table 4). Baseo on the results of three market studies of firms ozcupying offices on Brickell Avenue, an estimated 613 ('58 percent) employees would be new to the Region.

DERM is supervising this WASH -administered allocation progr m and has indicated that 11i projects not to be occupied before May 1984 may receive a conditional building permit subject to an estoppel, in tnat certificates of occupancy will not be issued until the water treatment facility expansion Is completed. This expansion to a 150 mgd capacity is expected to be completed in August of this year. Peak potable water demand of this project amounts to 0.12 percent of the proposed water treatment capacity Increase. 2. Drainage The drainage plan for the proposed project specifies that runoff from the ground and roof areas will be collected in catch basins which will discharge to sedimentation boxes. Injection pumps will then pump the runoff from the boxes Inio drainage wells rrnIcn w I I I discnarge the runoff into the sailne reaches of 1-ne underlying Biscayne Aquifer. The system will be designed to handle a 5-year rainstorm of unspecified duration, as required by Dade County. Currently (before and during construction) runoff from the site is discharged onto adjacent roadways where it is collected by the roadway's drainage system and discharged Into Biscayne Bay. Applicant estimates of existing pollutant runoff load In pounds 19 • per year are: suspended solids - 24, biological oxygen demand - 2, total nitrogen - 0.5, and total phosphates - 0. Tne proposed drainage system +sill retain all the runoff of the design storm (six inches) for over 12 hours on -site. Because on -site retention of at least the first inch of runoff reduces annual runoff pollutant loads by at least 80 percent, Applicant estimates of annual pollutant load tin pounds per year) after construction is completed have been reduced by 80 percent to: suspended solids - 324, biological oxygen demand - 28, total nitrogen - 5, and total phosphates - 0. 3. Wastewater Tne project is expected to generate 47,700 gallons of wastewater per day wltn a peak flow of 143,100 gallons per day. Tne Applicant has stated tnat no hazardous or toxic wastes requiring special treatment will be disposed of in the wastewater. Tne Applicant entered into an agreement wli-n Mlaml-Dade WASA in October 19ST for WASA to provide sewer facilities for the 266,050 square foot office building originally platted for the site, but Is currently seeking to update the agreement with WASA to approximately 427,000 square feet of office and retail space. 4. Solid Waste Solid waste generated by the project is expected to consist primarily of packaging and other paper waste, with some organic 20 I], 11 waste produced by the project restaurant and occasional landscaping debris. An estimated 4.83 tons, or 17 cubic yards, per day of solid waste materials, would be collected by a private hauling company under contract and disposed of by the Dade County Solid Waste Disposal Division, which has indicated its ability to process and dispose of the material wltnout adversely affecting the system. 5. Energy Tne developer proposes to use electricity as the primary energy source for this project, althougn natural gas may be used for cooking and water heating in the on -site restaurant. Annual electrical consumption is estimated by the Council to be 9.4 mill ion KI`H U�l.n bl I i lon 131"Us), Tnis corrcEponds to the energy content of approxlmalely 5,©p2 barrois of residual all. Tnree times tnis amount of energy, or c)ver 15,247 addll lon,�l barrels of residual oil, will be consumed at. the potger plant to provide tnis energy to the site. Restaurant use of natural gas Would amount to about 3 percent of the total on -site project energy use (966.7 million BTUs) . Both Florida Power and Light Company and Peopie's Gas System have indicated tnat adequate power and facilities are available to serve the proposed development. Emergency power will be supplied by a 500 KW standby diesel generator. The developer has proposed the following energy conservation measures: • individually metered tenant -controlled air conditioning. • Air distribution using a variable air volume system. • Minimum use of incandescent lighting, witn maximum use of task lighting in work areas. • Centralized energy control system that will provide start/stop optimization, time of day scheduling, electrical demand i uniting, night tc'+iperature sel-back/set-up, progr&Mmed ma 1 ntenance, and bu i I d i fig i I ghl i ncg c.ontro i. • Computerized elevator control equipment using the Elevonic 401 or equivalent. • Non -electrical energy will be used in the project restaurant for water heating and cooking (excluding micro -wave ovens). 22 C 11 The Incorporation of these energy conservation measures reflects a commitment to energy conservation, a positive regional impact. 6. Recreation and Open Space The site plan calls for a 23,500 square foot plaza area primarily focussing on the northwest corner of the ground floor of the site. A large area with seating and containing a fountain will be accessible to tenants and visitors. in addition, the Applicant plans to landscape the plaza and the additional 18,500 square feet of pedestrian open space surrounding the site. 7. Heaith Care and Fire Emergency medical service is available under Dade County's contract with Randle -Eastern Ambulance Service, the closest branch of whicn is near- S.W. 1st Street and S.W. 27tn Avenue. Average response time of Randle -Eastern Is estimated at 8 minutes, with a minimum response of 3 minutes. Tneir conlractwith the County requires a minimum response time of no greater khan 15 minutes. Also, the City of W ami Fire Department Rescue Squad will respond in both non -emergency and emergency situations, wltn an emergency response time to the site of under four minutes. Fire response would be from Station No. 4 located at 1000 S. Miami Avenue. Back-up response is available from Stations No. 1 and 3, witnin 2-3 minutes of the development site. City fire officials 23 have recently expressed some concern that proposed and approved development In the downtown f4lami area represents an additional demand upon Fire Department and Emergency Rescue Company services without any commitment of increased funding to assure the availability of the necessary facilities and services. Tne Miami Fire Department Is presently developing an Impact Fee Ordinance to be imposed at building permit issuance and calculated based upon the cost of additional facilities in proportion to development need for such facilities. Tne 1221 Srlckeli project should contribute to required capital facilities based on the criteria to be adopted in the Fire Department's impact fee ordinance. Given the height of the proposed office building, the Applicant should insure tnat the building can be evacuated in an emergency. In addition to whatever otner measures mignt be required by the Fire Department, the Appiicant should ensure that the office tower allows for emergency evacuation by helicopters hovering over the roof. B. Police Police protection would be provided by the City from Its downtown station at N.W. 2nd Avenue and N.W. 4th Street. City police officials have recently expressed concern that the proposed and approved development activity in the downtown area will pose traffic enforcement problems due to increased traffic. Also, the 24 v 84~--588. Applicant indicates that a representative of the Police Department will meet with the project architect, review the plans and make recommendations for security measures. These recommendations should be incorporated in the project design. D. TRANSPORTATION 1. Existing Traffic The traffic impact area (Figure 5) is bounded by the Miami River on the nortn, Biscayne Bay on the east, South 26tn Road on the south, and 1-95 on the west. Of the fourteen major roadway segments studied, four are operating below level of service (LOS) "C" on a daily basis, and two are operating at or below LOS "C" during the peak -hour. In urban areas where frequent signals control roadway operation, ADT levels of service are generally less meaningful than peak -hour conditions. Of 1ne eight critical Iniersecllons in the traffic impact area, only tnree are, projected io operate below LOS "C" during the AMA peak -hour after project completion: Brickell Avenue/S.E. 12tn Terrace/S.E. 13th Street, Brlckeil Avenue/S.E. 14th Street, and S. Miami Avenue/S.W. 8tn Street. Four Intersections are projected to operate below LOS "C" during the PM peak -hour after project completion: Brickell Avenue/S.E. 7tn Street, Brickell Avenue/S.E. 12tn Terrace, Brickell Avenue/S.E. 14tn Street, and Brickell Avenue/S.E. 15tn Road.

As most of these improvements were ldentlfled on an ad -hoc basis and not through a coordinated transportation plan for the area, the developers of both the Lincoln/Nasher and the adjacent Tlshman-Speyer/Equitable Developments of Regional Impact have agreed to undertake a transportation analysis for the Brlckell Avenue area to identify necessary improvements to accommodate long range development wltnin the area. When the analysis is completed, both currently programmed and recommended roadway Improvements illustrated in figure 7 must be reviewed in terms of their consistency witn necessary Ionq-r,;nae improvements.

More immediate improvements, scheduled for FY IQ-B3--84, are the widening and reconstruction of S.W. 7th Street to I lanes, one --way westbound, from Brlckell Avenue to S.W. 12 Avenue and the resurfacing of S.W. Btn Street from 1-95 to Brickeil Avenue. Tnis will improve access to 1-95 northbound from the Brickeil area. Peak hour reversal of the direction of traffic on S.W. 7tn and 8tn Streets has been recently analyzed as a means of Increasing peak -hour capacities for AM peak -hour eastbound and PM peak -hour westbound flows. Joint meetings were held among City, County, and State transportation staff, wno concluded that such operation is not feasible given the cane -way cross streets and numerous driveways. Transit improvements and increased patronage are critical to improving Brlckell area access over the next five years. Metrorail is expected to begin revenue service from Dadeland south to the downtown Government Center Station tnis Spring. The north leg is projected to begin service during December, 1984, connecting the Government Center Station with the Okeechobee Station in Hialeah. The Brickeil Station, four blocks northwest of the project at S.W. 1st Avenue and S.W. 11tn Street, is the 061 • •. Metrorall stop closest to the project. A transit mail, along S.W. 10th and lith Streets, is programmed for FY 1984-85 to provide feeder bus service to the Brtckell Station. In addition, completion of the Phase I extension of Metromover (the Downtown People Mover) is estimated for 1988, which would provide the project witn convenient access to many points downtown from a station on S.E. 13tn Street immediately west of Brickell Avenue. �. Project Traffic a. Trip Generation Based on project proximity to the Brtckell Avenue Metrorail Station, 25 percent of dally trips and 30 percent of peak-nour trips in 1986 were assumed to use transit (Table 8). Remalning are 413 AM and 402 PfA peak -hour vehicle trips, approximately 13 percent of total daily trip ends for eacn peak -hour period.

Trip Assignment Distribution of the 3,096 dally, 413 AM peak -hour, and 402 PM peak -hour vehicle trip ends was based on the results of the Tishman/Speyer DRI origin/destination survey for office uses conducted during July, 1982, adjusted for the more southerly location of the project and for projected population growtn rates in Dade and Broward counties. Under the proposed plan, vehicle access to and egress from the site would occur from both S.E. 12tn Terrace and S.E. 13tn Street between Brlckell Avenue and S. Bayshore Drive. c. Future Traffic The Applicant projects tnat, for the fourteen study roadway segments, peak -hour levels of service will deteriorate below LOS "C" on four addltlonal segments, as shown in Table 9.

Recommended Improvements Various roadway improvements in the immediate vicinity of the project, combined with several transportation systems management (TSM) strategies, can reduce the adverse impacts tnat would otherwise result from the project. To provide the adequate ingress and egress for 1986 project traffic, it will be necessary to align S.E. 12tn Terrace with S.E. 13tn Street at Brickell Avenue, whicn are currently offset by approximately 50 feet. The Applicant as agreed to dedicate the necessary right-of-way ($630,000 estlr,iated value) for i-nls lniprovemcni- (;;00,000), which wi i I a Iow al i 1urn Ina ni.ive -ienl s ai 1ne InftrsoctIor) to be made (Figure 9). This inierse lon Improveneni includes: (1) a soutnbound BrickelI Avenue left -turn lane, (2) three westbound lanes to provide right -turn, through -left, and exclusive left -turn movements, and (3) resignalIzation. Witnout project traffic and without improvement, Brickell Avenue/S.E. 12tn Terrace/S.E. 13tn Street would operate at LOS I'D" during the AM peak -hour and LOS "C" duringthe PM peak -hour.

To improve the intersection of South Bayshore Drive and S.E. 8tn Street, the existing median along S.E. 8th Street will be removed and striped by the Llncoln/Nasher and Tishman-Speyer/Equitable developers to allow for exclusive left -turn lanes of adequate length to provide access to botn the Llncoln/Nasher and Tishman-Speyer/Equitable developments. in addition, Soutn 8ayshore Drive will be restrlped to 4 lanes, wlth parking removed from the soutnbound lanes between S.E. 81n Street ana .Ambassador Drive.

These improvements, estimated to cosl S-65,000 (1983 dollars), would Improve levels of service from MA peak -hour LOS "f" to "B" and PM peak -hour LOS "F" to f'C." In conjunction witn reconstruction of the 1-95/S.W. 8tn Street interchange, it is necessary to change S.W. 3rd Avenue between S.W. 7tn and S.W. 8tn Streets to two-way operation so that traffic 40 westbound on S.W. 7+h Street may turn left at S.W. 3rd Avenue to reach the Interchange immediately south of S.W. Stn Street. The Council recommends a 3-lane cross-section for S.W. 3rd Avenue between S.W. 7tn and S th Streets, with left -turn lanes provided at both S.W. 7tn and 8tn Streets. The Applicant proposes several traffic management procedures that can reduce peak -hour traffic flow: (1) preferential and/or low-cost parking areas for high occupancy vehicles, (2) participation in a car pool program for the entire Brickeii corridor, with ride sharing Information boards conveniently located within the project, and (3) secure bicycle storage areas within the parking garage. With the increased mount of development that Is allowed by the revised City zoning, It is unceri-aln whether or not the above improvements, although minor, wouid conform Ol n inose necessary to serve the Increased intensity aiioven by ine, ncv�,Tonincg over the long term. Consultants for the Tishmanrt-Speyer/Equitable and Lincoln/Nasher developments recently began a long-range study of the transportation needs of the 1-95/Brlckell Avenue area. Before any of the publicly -programmed or developer -proposed roadway Improvements within the study area are constructed, location of a transit mail determined, or plans to extend Brickell Plaza to S.E. 7th Street rejected, it Is in the best interest of all parties 41 11 11 Involved, both public and private, to have an approved long-range transportation plan for the area which analyzes the need for and timing of improvements, including those currently programmed. Thus, recommended Improvements to be constructed by the Applicant (See Part III, n below) would not commence until completion and approval of the long-range study, at which time a determination can be made as to whether these improvements are compatible with required long-range improvements. With the proposed construction of this and other projects east of Brickeil Avenue, pedestrian traffic will also increase. However, until both the transit improvements and the planned developments are In place, pedestrian volumes at particular crossings are difficult to project. For this analysis, only at -grade pedestrian movement was considered, wltn pedestrian volumes esilmated for the Intersection capacity analyses. i;itn tnlrty percent of al trips and thirty-five percent of peak -hour irlps generaicad by the developments planned for the B rlckell corrdor expected io be transit trips by 1990, the pedestrian volumes crossing Brickell at that time may require one or more above grade crossings, especially if the proposed transit mall along S. 10tn and ittn Streets is successful. 42 0 0 5. Parking Tne Applicant desires to provide 830 parking spaces, 131 In excess of the maximum allowed by the City Zoning Code, in an eight level garage. Five service and delivery vehicle loading docks and two percent handicapped spaces will be provided witnin the garage. As previously discussed, at least two percent should also be dedicated for car and van pool use. 6. Mass Transit The Dade County Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) currently provides bus service to the project site with seven local and ten express routes. However, before Metrorall begins operation, the entire MTA bus network will be redesigned and redistributed to provide feeder bus service to rail stations, improve service in areas already served by MTA, and expand service into unserved areas of the County. A 25 to 33 percen' increase in local and express service by 1966 Is envisioned for the Brickeil area. 43 +M PART IiI - DEVELOPMENT ISSUES 0 A. EFFECTIVE GROWTH MANAGEMENT IN THE BRICKELL AREA Tne past several years have seen unprecedented development in the vicinity of Brickeil Avenue as well as in other subareas of downtown Miami. A significant portion of development is a response to the scneduled opening of Metrorail and the proximity of Metrorali stations which permit and encourage higher density development. Absorption of office space on Brickeil Avenue from 1965 tnrough 1979 averaged only 86,000 square feet per year. The rate for the last three years has been over 12 times greater, with an average of over 356,000 square feet per year. Yet, in spite of more rapid absorption, the vacancy rate in July, 1982 was only 0.8 percent, which represents an extremely tight market. Of the ten major projects (Table 11) proposed or under construction in the Brickell area, nine are located on Brickell Avenue or South Bayshore Drive. Only one project Is proposed for the immediate vicinity of the Brickell Metrorali Station. Altogether, over 3,285,000 square feet of office and retail use, and 1,115 residential or hotel units are under construction or proposed. Tne cumulative and collective impacts of developments in the Brickell Area are of regional as well as local concern.

The importance of competitive accessibility to regional activity centers is underscored by the following Council policy: Competitive accessibility within and between regional activity centers, as measured by acceptable levels of service on local and regional access routes, and provision of adequate parking, snould be maintained and, where possible, enhanced. (Section 29J-2.045(5), F.A.C., Policy 2). The distinctive character of the Brickeii corridor is being changed by developments tnat have received local approval without a full assessment of the individual and collective impacts tnat development will nave on tna area or on the balance between the capacity of and need for public facilities. City police and fire department officials nave expressed concern that, white a single project may have little effect on the ability to provide service, the collective number of individually -approved projects pose an adverse impact on service capability. 46 L • 0 The need for the City to undertake an infrastructure capacity study, focussing on balancing the amount of development permitted with the existing and feasible expanded capacities of the public infrastructure serving the development, was recognized by the Council and the City during review of the 1980 Nasher Plaza DR1. A condition In the original Development Order for Nasher Plaza required the City to: ...prepare, in conjunction with the Muni Accessibility and Mobility Study, wltnin twelve months of this Development Order, a small area growth management study to balance the desired use of the Brtckell, Miami Avenue, and Dupont Plaza area as a major business activity center witn the public infrastructure improvements necessary to support such use. The study must result in recommended land use plan and a program to support the Intensity of activity that will be permitted in the study area. Tnese recommendations shall be transmitted to Dade County Department of Traffic and Transportation and the Regional Planning Council for review and comment, prior to their adoption by the City. Further, to implement the adopted plan and program of Improvements, the City arils formulate mandatory procedures to evaluate the comprenensive and collective impacts of development occurring wltnin the Brlckell/W aml Avenue/Dupont Plaza Area. The City has yet to complete this study, however as working on various growth management strategies to accomplish the study objectives. For example, recognizing the significance of transportation infrastructure and the limitations to desl-able development created by an overburdened transportation system, Council, City, County, and State staff, In consultation wltn the Lincoln/Hasher Joint Venture and Tishman-Speyer/Equltable Joint Venture developers, agreed that a long range transportation analysis is necessary, whlcn agreement resulted In the following condition being included In the subsequently -issued development orders for these two DRis: 47 Conduct, and complete, within ten (10) months of the date of issuance of the development order, Individually or in cooperation with other consultants approved by the City, a long range, year 2000 transportation study for an area, no smaller than the traffic Impact area for the Lincoln/Nastier Joint Venture DR1, to be determined by the Council, City, County, and FQOT, incorporating projections for growth in background traffic; ultimate development traffic within the traffic impact area, based on existing and proposed zoning; transit ridership; pedestrian movements; programmed and planned transportation improvements; evaluation of alternate improvemets and their estimated costs; and transportation system mangement strategies, l.ncluding on -site and remote parking policies and standards. The study will also include recommended Improvements and their costs, recommended land use regulations, and any necessary changes in City zoning, or Identify limitations on ultimate development imposed by the capacity of the transportation system, and submit to the Council, City, County, and FOOT for review and approval. This analysts, currently being undertaken by consultants for the two developments, will be based on the amount of development permitted under existing and proposed zoning witnln a suitable area (no smaller than the traffic Impact area used in the ADA for this project), growtn In background traffic, projected transit ridership, pedestrian movements, programmed and planned transportation improvements, and management strategies including on -site and remote parking. The study will include recommended feasible transportation improvements and their costs, as well as any changes In land use regulations or zoning needed to maintain competitive accessibility of the area and acceptable levels of transportation service, and will identify limitations on ultimate development imposed by the transportation system when expanded to the maximum extent feasible. M1 11 E Since it is conceivable that the transportation improvements recommended to provide needed capacity in 1986 in support of previously approved development and the 1221 B rtckell 11Ri may be incompatible wltn the transportation system necessary to serve the area when It develops to the limit of existing or proposed zoning, the Applicant should not construct these improvements until their compatibility witn ultimate improvements is determined. Should there be any inconsistency, the Applicant should construct other improvements, at a comparable cost, to mitigate the impact of project traffic on the downtown area. In tnls manner, the integrity of the long-range transportation plan can be maintained. In its review of ne Tlshman-Speyer/Equitable Joint Venture QRI in June 1993, the Council also recommended that the City take advantage of the long range access study by determining current capacities and capacities after optimum expansion of all otner public facilities and services needed to support development in the area. Inis information would allow the City to manage the amount of development permitted by Its plan and zoning to ensure that the level of service provided by public facilities does not impair the economic vitality and competitive advantage of the Brlckeli area. The recommendation remains appropriate. 49 84-589. 0 B. FUNDING PUBLIC FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS The Council policy holds that financing required transportation Improvements should be shared between the public sector and private development interests: Development sponsors should pay the marginal costs of upgrading existing transportation facilities, or the full cost of constructing new facilities, required by a specific development proposal. (Section 29J--2.045(5), F.A.C., Policy 73), and The public sector should fund those improvements which support the general welfare of its citizenry; promote public goals, objectives, and plans; are required by existing or anticipated traffic from previously -permitted development; or that result from normal growth in "background" traffic (Section 29J-2.045(5), F.A.C., Policy 74). As previously noted (Table 7), nearly $24 million of publicly -funded roadway improvements are programmed in the traffic impact area, not including public funding for transit construction and operation. Additional transportation improvements necessary to mitigate the cumulative Impacts of project traffic projected for 1986 nave been estimated to cost $40,000 (1983 dollars) for constructing a right -turn lane, a combined tnrougn and left -turn lane, and an exclusive left -turn lane on the westbound approacn at the intersection of Brickell Avenue/S.E. 13tn Street/S.E. 12tn Terrace. In addition, signal rephasing of that intersection ($40,000) will be necessary. Signallzatlon of the intersection of Brickeil Avenue/S.E. 14tn Street ($50,000) is recommended, along with restrlping the westbound approach for a combined through and right -turn lane and an exclusive left -turn lane. Also, part of the curb on the north side of the west leg should 0 be removed to allow for a more direct through movement since the east and west legs of S.E. 14th Street are slightly offset. The above geometric improvements for the Intersection are estimated to cost S20,000. At the intersection of S.W. 13tn Street/S.W. 1511h Road/S.W. 3rd Avenue, signalization ($50,000) and some restriping Is requl-ed. Tne above improvements to the three Intersections total $200,000, not counting $630,000 that the Applicant estimates to be land value of the right-of-way required to properly align S.E. 12tn Terrace and S.E. 13tn Street, whicn the Council considers a cost associated with developing the parcel of land, not part of an equitable share of funding necessary roadway improvements, as recommended in both the Lincoln/Hasher and Tlshman-Speyer/Equitable DRIs, reviewed by the Council in 1983. Under the conditions of the Lincoln/Nasher and Tlshman-Speyer/Equitable Development Orders, the Applicants contributed an equitable share of the cost of recommended roadway improvements for the 1985 analysis year, based on the volumes of tra! f 1 c; tney 4; l I I contribute to intersections in need of lmprovt:nent, and, since a development order for one project would be issued prior to the issuance of a development order for the otner, to loan the unfunded cost of the Improvements to the City (whicn could be arranged through they purcnase of bonds under terms witn interest rates and maturity dates mutually agreed to by the City and the developer, or other financing arrangements) until the City would be repaid by other developments contributing to the need for the improvement. In this case, the Council was able to allocate 100 51 84--589, E3 23 percent of the cost of necessary roadway improvements to the two Developments of Regional Impact in the event that no other area developments were to apply to the City for approvals before construction of the required Improvements. The fair -share improvements cost allocation for the Lincoln/Nasher and Tishman-Speyer/Equitable DRis resulted In a contribution of between $0.24 and $0.29 per square foot. Using this square footage cost as a surrogate measure for traffic generation, the 1221 Brickell developer would be required to fund between $100,000 and $120,000 of improvements or all improvements recommended for Brickell Avenue/S.E. 12tn Terrace/S.E. 13tn Street, and the geometrlcs improvements suggested for Brickell Avenue/S.E. 14tn Street and S.W. 13tn Street/S.W. 15tn Road/S.W. 3rd Avenue as his fair -share. Signallzation of the latter two intersections would initially be Applicant -funded by a front -ended loan to the City if the City could not obtain contributlons from other developments in the impact area, Since: much of the development in the Brickell corridor is not of DRI status, it would be unfair to assume that DRis should bear the burden of funding all necessary roadway Improvements wltnin the impact area. Tnerefore, after a set of long-range improvements for the Brickell corridor Is determined to support a desired level of development wltnin the study area, the City should incorporate a provision in the SPI-5 zoning ordinance for area developers to contribute an equltabie share of funding necessary transportation infrastructure improvements. Until such a provision is 52 • � i In effect, the Applicant should be responsible for implementing the above Improvements, subject to reevaluation by the City once the long-range study is completed. PART IV - SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Summary The Development of Regional Impact assessment for 1221 BrIckell indicates that the project would have a number of positive regional Impacts: • Over 613 permanent new jobs would be generated by the project with an additional 989 relocated from existing office space in the Region. Nearly 1,759 additional full-time Jobs would be generated in the four county region, wltn a $31.8 million increase in total wages and a $20.2 million in vaue added to the regional economy. • An annual surplus of nearly $1.6 million dollars to taxing jurisdictions With approximately $642,013 for Miami, S499,434 for Dade County, $416,027 for the Dada County School District, and S39,5z9 for the South Florida Water Manaaem ent District and special districts combined. Council evaluation indicates that the proposed project should not create adverse impact on ground water, soils, animal life, or vegetation. In terms of adverse regional impact, the project would: i• Increase potable water demand by an average of 49,500 gallons per day. • Increase annual energy demand within the Region by the equivalent of 15,247 barrels of residual oft. 54 • Generate an average of 4.83 tons, or 17 cubic yards, of solid waste per day. s Generate an average of 47,700 gallons of wastewater per day. • Place additional unfunded demands upon police, emergency rescue, and fire services, although the public agencies responsible for providing these services have indicated adequate facilities to serve the project. • Generate nearly 3,096 dally vehicle trips on the downtown street network and, along wltn other development traffic, reduce levels of service below "C" at seven intersections. However, Applicant participation In funding intersection improvements will maintain service at an acceptable level. Recommendations Based on conslderdtlon of the above specified positive and negative impacts, It is the recommendation of the Council to 1-ne MIcyni City Commission that the App l i cal- i on for Development Approve l for 1 221 Br l cl«! I I be APPROVED subject to incorporation of the followincg condltlons Into the Development Order to increase the probability of realizing the positive regional impacts and to reduce adverse regional impacts: 55 84-58�`. 2 11 THE APPLICANT, ITS SUCCESSORS, AND/OR ASSIGNS WILL: 1.

Consideration of recommending issuance of a Development Order for the 122I. Brickell project, a Development of Regional Impact:, proposed to be located at 1221. Brickell Avenue, per Chapter 380 Florida Statutes. REQUEST To grant a Development Order for a Development of Regional Impact so that construction documents can be processed by City Departments. BACKGROUND Ameriswiss Associates proposed the Brickell Avenue project, which qualifies as a Development of Regional Impact (DR I) under Florida administrative rules. Per Chapter 380, the developer has submitted an Application for Development Approval (ADA) to the South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) for their review and recommendation. Before granting a Development Order, which is a pre -condition to a building permit, the City must consider the extent to which: a) The development unreasonably interferes with the objectives of an adopted state land development plan applicable to the area; b) The development is consistent with local land development regulations; and c) The development is consistent with the report and reconmiendations of the regional planning agency. The sequence of events to this point is as follows: February 22, 1984 South Florida Regional Planning Council notified the City that the ADA was complete and that a local public hearing could be scheduled. March 8, 1984 By Resolution 84-313, the City Commission established May 24, 1984, as the DRI public hearing date. .�r• i•�:-a�ti3 s�_.� +i%rt�-r�.,pS; _ r,;.. �.:;•'1-rt4-;a,?,; �.t�'n'r. `%rg �.:ti�*e: ^'i',r<' .. �`^��� �:: ir:V.Y�ilt .a>...."s:ti;,tw.�'3,'•«.:,;T•,�:,y`Sl •..e• *;r�..v s..

FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO Planning Advisory Board R0M S ,gi —Rodriguez, Director `Planning Department DATE: April 30, 1984 FILE: SUBJECT: Analysis and Recommendation: 1221 Brickell Avenue Project REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES. Project Description Ameriswiss Associates has proposed a project to be located at 1221 Brickell Avenue. The Project includes: -- one 26 story office tower of approximately 409,694 square feet in office use -- retail uses on the first floor of 6,981 square feet -- a restaurant on the first floor of 3,000 square feet -- a plaza at ground level of approximately 23,500 square feet. 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. The project also meets the criteria for a Development of Regional Impact, under Florida administrative rules, being in excess of 300,000 square feet of office use. Analysis Economic and Net Fiscal Impact - The cost of this project is estimated at million o ars , and approximately 987 temporary full-time construction jobs will be generated over a two year construction period. The average construction wage will average $22,813 per employee -year, representing a total of $22.5 million (1983 dollars) for construction wages. After completion of construction, the permanent employment will total 1,602 persons with an estimated 1,578 in office activities, and 24 persons in retailing and personal services. Based upon various marketing studies of Brickell Avenue offices an estimated 38 percent, or 613 persons would be newly located to the Miami area. Based upon computer analysis of the Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe county economies, the cumulative effect of project construction is il about 1,758 jobs, represents $31.8 mlion in total wages, $84.1 million in output value, of which $40.2 million is net value which would be added to the regional economy.
