REQUEST To approve the Allapattah Community Revi- talization Plan. ' BACKGROUND In 1976 The City of Miami adopted the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1976-1986 (bICNP) which provides the framework for the overall development of the City of Miami. The Neighborhood Revi- talization Plan focuses -on specific neighbcrhoods where the establishment of a more detailed development program is needed. ' The Allapattah area is characteristic of f many of our older inner city neighborhoods in which the symptoms of urban decay are becoming more evident; these include in- creasing housing deterioration; lowering levels of housing maintenance; increasing environmental deficiencies; marginal local commercial areas,crime etc. The City of Miami has established a program for the re- vitalization of basically sound older resi- dential neighborhoods located within the por- tions of the City serviced by the Community Development Program. The Miami Great fNeighborhood Program aims at the preserva- tion of these overall sound residential communities. Elements of the program include: residential rehabilitation assistance, street, park and other infrastructure improvements; and an up;radin? of public services. Strong com- munity participation throughout the process is essential. ' y The Allapattah Neighbdrhood ha8 ddrtkilft attributes which have created an enviroflY meat conducive to neighborhood revitalize- y t ion . These include: -- People willing to improve their housing conditions and invest in their neigh- borhood. - Urgent need and demand for more and better housing,.a suitable living: environment, and better economic oppor- tunities. - Availability of vacant and underdeveloped land to support new residential development. - An overall good housing stock. - Reasonable housing costs, compared to other areas of Dade County. - Minimal land use conflicts. 0 - Adequate community facilities and services in the area and vicinity.

Major elements of the Plane include: The creation of incentives to encourage private sector expansion of housing opportunities within the area including zoning changes to allow higher density development a The preservation and upgrading of the existing housing stock through the provision of adequate financing and technical incentives in coordination with a vigorous program of code en- forcement.
