CITY OF MIAMI PLANNING DEPARTMENT
A
Consideration of recommending approval of
the Buena Vista Community Revitalization
Plan for the Buena Vista Great Neighbor-
hood area, generally bounded by NW 54th
Street on the north, I-195 or NW 38th Street
on the south, I-95 or 6th Avenue on the
west and the FEC R.R. on the east; which
Community Revitalization Plan includes
acquisition and clearance, relocation, re-
habilitation, street improvements and
beautification and which plan is in con-
formity with the Miami Comprehensive Neigh-
borhood Plan.
To approve the Buena Vista Community Revi-
talization Plan.
In 1976 the City of Miami adopted the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1976-1986
(MCNP) which provides the framework for the
overall development of the City of Miami
Neighborhood Revitalization Plan which focuses
on specific neighborhoods where the estab-
listunent of a more detailed development pro-
gram is needed.
The Buena Vista area is characteristic of
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 en-
vironmental 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 Neigh-
borhood Program aims at the preservation o
d
it
F'these overall sound residential comtntiiii.t1 _
tlements of the program include: residential
rehabilitation assistance, street, park and
other infrastructure improvements; and an
tin grading of public services. Strom com-
tnunity participation throughout the process
is essential.
The Buena Vista Neighborhood has certain at-
tributes which have created an environment
conducive to neighborhood revitalization,
These include:
An overall good housing stock
Reasonable housing costs
Central location
A substantial stable middle income population
An adequate physical infrastructure
Sufficient vacant and underdeveloped
land to support new residential development
Minimal land use conflicts (overall)
Strong interest of area residents in
up grading their community as exemplified
by the Buena Vista Great Neighborhood As-
sociation and the Buena Vista East Asso-
ciation.
The availability of Community Development
T Block Grant funds for housing rehabili-
tation, park development, street improve-
�'ment , etc.
Proximity to the high quality economically
vibrant ",tiami Design Plaza area.
Certain problems have been identified within the
community which must be addressed in order to
achieve neighborhood improvement and foster the
redevelopment of the community.
These include:
- Increasing housing deterioration
Legal and illegal conversion of single
family residential structures
- Increasing absentee ownership
Increasing residential overcrowding due to the
recent influx of low income residents into
the area.
Lack of convenient neighborhood oriented
retail facilities. ,

The Plan proposals for physical, social and
economic improvements within the study area
are based on analysis and discussions with
community residents. Major elements of the
Plan include:
The preservation and upgrading of the
existing housing stock through the pro-
vision of adequate financial and techni-
cal incentives in coordination with a
vigorous program of code enforcement is
one of the main goals established for this
plan. It is anticipated that 100 struc-
tures will be rehabilitated during the
next three years utilizing funds from the
Great Neighborhood Housing Rehabilitation
Fund, the federal 312 program and private
resources. Efforts will be made to target
federal 312 funds for multi -family re-
habilitation.
The Demolition of 6 abandoned and dilapidated
structures within the area and the acquisi-
tion of 5 vacant lots to provide home owner-
ship opportunities for moderate income families,
through the City of Miami Second Mortgage
Program and federal 235.
Improvement to the viability of the local
commercial corridors by physical beautifi-
cation such as NIV 2nd Avenue between NW 36th
and 54th Streets, and business development
assistance.

C. Historical Evol-ution
Buena Vista is one of the oldest residential areas within
the City of ofathe 19thtial centuryeas�'aent farmingnin areathe`aith
latter pa
the advent of the railroad and the establishment of the
Buena Vista Railroad St ration (NIN 36th Street) the area
began to develop. During the early 1920's, during the
rapid urbanization of Dade County, Buena Vista emerged
as an important residential area. The construction of
the Shadowlawn Elementary School in 1925 and the develop-
ment of the NE 40th Street business district, reinforced the
development patterns which established the land use pattern
presently found in the area. The residential area between
Miami Avenue and NE 2nd Avenue became one of the prime

The majority of the residential structures in the area
were constructed prior to World Saar II, Rapid growth of
the area continued to the late 195o's and until the early

' r y 13uena Vista remained a stable predomih antlY
,t4hjto middle income neighborhood, As a result of
degeogretation, the construction of I-95, etc. the
racial characteristics of the area changed, although
the socio economic level of the population remained
the same:
;. .
burina the into 1960's the first outward manifestations
of neighborhood c?ecl.ine bec�aI, to emerge including a
Weakening of the housing market, a decline and deferral
of structural maintenance and repairs, an increase in
absentee ownership, an increase in the legal and illegal
subdivision of single family residential structures, etc.
In response to the problems of the area, Dade County
bepartment of Housing and Urban Development designated
the western portion of Buena Vista as a Neicrhborhood
'Rehabilitation Area, but funding for this project was
not secured.
Recently the area has been negatively impacted by a large
_ number of low income families who in many instances, clue to
their extremely poor economic condition, overcrowded the
existing housing units.
In 1978, the City of ;•tiami established the Great Neigh-
borhood Program aimed at the preservation and improve-
ment of basically sound neighborhoods such as Buena
_ Vista. The program entails housing rehabilitation as-
sistance, concentrated code enforcement; intensification
and upgrading of public services within the community,
new infill housing, and the establishment of a strong
community organization. This program has been operational
for three years.
Located within the Buena Vista Area is the Miami Design
Plaza which is one of the five top interior design
centers within the nation. while this area has under-
gone significant growth it has had only minimal impact
upon the adjacent residential areas which is the focus
of this study.

The population in the study area had increased from
9,310 persons in 1960 to 11,208 in 1910, however,
according to the 1980 U.S. census figures there are
13,822 residents in the area (see table "1). Since
1978 it is assumed there has been an increase in popu-
lation due to the influx of Haitian refugees to the
area.

netween 1975 - 1980 there has been a net decrease of 59 housing
Units within the area. This has been the result of the removal
of substandard structures and the encroachment of Design Plaza
associated businesses on to the adjacent residential areas and
the expansion of the Douglas Gardens (Jewish Rome for the Aged)
complex:. This decrease is most evident along N.E. 41st Street
and in the area west of N.W. 2nd Avenue. Recently there has
been an increase in both legal and illegal conversions of the
area east of North Miami resulting in an overall net increase
of residential units within this portion of the study area.
Since the 1960's there has been a significant decline in commer-
cial activity along N.W. 2nd Avenue and the replacement of retail
establishments with institutional uses (churches, day care, etc.).
There has been minimal new construction in the area since 1960
except for the Design Plaza area which has undergone a major
expansion during this time period.

B - Relationship of Zoning to Land Use
Zoning is generally consistent with the existing overall land use
pattern. There is considerably more duplex zoning within the area
than actual development, approximately 33° of the total area is
zoned for duplex development but only 15% of the total area is
developed to this level.(Note Table "10).Those areas zoned for
multiple family development tend to be developed for this use
except for the area presently occupied by Archibishop Curly
High School and Douglas Garclens (instit.i�tic)nal uses) . A liriit'L-d
number of non -conforming apartment building are located within the
low density residential areas. These multi -family structures
date from the 1920's - 1930's, prior to the adoption of the City
of miami's first zoning ordinance in the late 1930's.
The zoning found along N.W. 2nd Avenue between N.W. 43rd Street and
49th Street is inco.�sistent. with the present land use pattern
and deter~ from the potential economic viability of the area.
The existing C-4 (General Commercial) zoning precludes residential
development and allows for more liberal commercial activity than
would be appropriate along a neighborhood oriented commercial
districts.
The proximity of low density residential development to liberal
commercial activity (C-5) as is found in the Design Plaza and
along 54th Street has created some land use conflicts due to the wide
array commercial activity permitted in the district, many of
which are incompatible with the abutting residential development.
This is exemplified by the parking of commercial and commercial
generated vehicles along residential streets (N.W. 5th Avenue,
etc.) .

r
Sanitary sewers are provided throiichout the Buena Vista
area, The recently completed Columbia Sanitary Sewer
Project (area bounded by N.W. 54th Street, I=195t I-95
and North Miami Avenue) has provided sewers to the last
remaining unsewered portion of the study area. Many of the
other sewer lines were constructed over 50 years ago
and will eventually need replacement or renovation within
the near future (5 - 10 years). As streets are rebuilt
Within the area the sewer lines are replaced or modified
The City of Miami Department of Public Works has indicated
that the flow capacity of the existing sewers within the
study area is adequate for current zoning.

I,
Storm sewers are provided at the southwest quadrant and
around the Shadowlawn Elementary School when streets have
recently been rebuilt. It has also been provided on Nhi
54th Street, N.W. 6th Avenue, North Miami Avenue, N.E. lst
Avenue from I-195 to N.E. 45th Street and N.E. 2nd Avenue
from I-95 to N.E. 40th Street.
Other streets in the area operate on a localized drainage
system. As streets are rebuilt in the future, storm
sewers will be included as part of the project.
B - Lighting
Street lighting is adequate in most of -.he area. In Buena Vista
I;est 1/ 40n t•;atts high pressure sodium v:rpOr overhead bracket
lighting bearinq 47,000 lumens have been installed. This type
of lighting is widely used in communities throughout the County
and has been found to be one of the best type of lighting
available today.
Buena Vista East has installment of post up lights with 175 watts and 7000 lumens.
The visual. effect of this type of feature is very enhancing
to the area and this type of installation is acceptable for
residential areas. In the Design Plaza on N.W. 38th and 39th
Streets 400 watts high pressure sodium vapor overhead brackets
lighting bearing 47,000 lumens have been install-ed. Lighting
on N.W. 40th, 41st and 42nd Streets from Miami Avenue to N.E.
2nd Avenue should be upgraded to 400 watts from the present
175.

Th6 lack of curbs and gutters on Most streets in the area has cre=
ated an overall unkempt appearance to the community. The swale
area which is the area located between the edge of the roadway
surface and sidewalk is generally not maintained by the abutting
property owners. Need exists for the sodding, landscaping and
maintenance of these areas until the streets can be fully re-
built with curbs and gutters. older curbs, autcers a (d id - u7i

of major importance to the Community is the rebuilding of NW
2nd Avenue from I-195 to NIq 54th Street ,inr:? this important collec-
tor street with moderate pedestrian traffic lacks curbs and
gutters and landscaping.
C. Landscaping
There is a fairly extensive tree canopy within the area. Street
trees have been placed on all streets that have been rebuilt
(i:ote map„ and a tree planting program was undertaken east of
North Miami on streets that had curbs and gutters,
Additional
street landscaping is needed throughout in order to improve
the overall visual appearance of the community.
D. Transit
There are presently eight bus routes serving the area pro-
viding services to Downtown, Coconut Grove, Hialeah, Miami
Lakes, Testchester and North County. The Dade County Rapid
Transit system has not scheduled facilities in the area until
the second phase of the project, which will not be in operation
until 1990, if funding is secured. However, the Allapattah
Station which will be located on NIq 36th Street and NW 12th
Avenue is in close proximity to Buena Vista, and feeder bus
routes will be provided to service this transit station.

As Commercial Development Potential
Total expenditure on retail goods and serVides by
households within the Buena Vista neighborhood
equals $20,239,672L/ Of this spending amount,
approximately $11,058,525 will be spent on retail
goods, This level of expenditure has the poten-
tial to warrant 100,000 sq. ft. of retail space
in the neighborhood. This a(_igrecrate supportable
square footage may be broken with respect to
store type as follows:
1) Food 22,000
2) Hard, 5,000
3) General Mdse. 22,000
4) Drugs, etc. 4,850
5) Apparel 7,700
`{ 6) Eat & Drink 12,500
Potential demand for retail floor area was determined
projecting the total income of the Buena Vista
fiarket Area residents and the proportion of that
income that they will spend on retail goods. After
retail spending is projected, the amount of retail
floor area implied at such spending levels is
determined.
While there is over an estimated 100,000 sq.ft. of
retail
space in the. area, much of it is concentrated
at the
Sabal Palms Shopping Center and along 54th
Street
which services a much larger area and thus it
can be
assumed that there is a deficiency of conven-
'Lent neighborhood
oriented retail activity within
the community. This is most evident along N[V 2nd
Avenue
where there is only an estimated 13,000 sq.
ft. of
retail space, given the total disposable income
for the
area, NW 2nd Avenue can support additional
retail
activity. Due to the economic viability of the
adjacent residential areas and the central location
of NW 2nd Avenue, it can be assumed that an additional
25,000 - 30,000 sq. ft. of retail activity could
be supported by the area.
$'. Residential Development Potential
While the Buena Vista area is basically developed
are a number of sites that have potential for
1�City of ?Miami - Planning Department Estimates
30
tl-c elopment for residential use. This includes
tisaiit land and sites now occupied by dilapidated
structures that are economically unfeasible to rem
habilitate (See Mapu9 ).
The greatest concentration of potential new housing
sites lies north of NIV 47th Street and west of NW 2nd
Avenue. There are over an estimated 100 potential
development sites that could support over 150 new
housing units within the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts.
Additional multi -family units could be constructed along
the NW 2nd Avenue commercial corridor that presently

As is shown in Table #12 and Map :a10 the range in land values
per square foot based in the assessed value is $1.50 - $1.80.
It is significant that the price of land in the Sabal Palm Court
Area,$2.81 per square foot, is considerably higher than the other
portions of the study area.
Recent sales activity indicates that the area remains as one
of the best areas for housing value in the City. The majority
of the single family homes sold in the area recently are still
in the S25,000 - $35,000 ranges, far below the overall County
average.

Approximately $4,800,000 of public funds have recently
been spent in Buena Vista. The majority of these funds
have been spent in street improvements, sanitary sewers
and a low interest housing rehabilitation loan program.
The major source of funding in the area has been Com-
munity Development which thus far has spent approximately
$2,616,000 in Buena Vista. Nearly $2,150,000 of City
of Miami Bond Funds have gone into the area (See Table

At The Land Use Plan
The Land Use Plan reflects generally the Current overall
land use pattern for the study area, Minor modi`ications
have been made in the allowable intensity of development
in order to achieve new development, consistent with re-
development and revitalization objectives. In general c0m-
mercial densities in areas that are experiencing commercial
decay have been decreased in order to allow a mixed use
of a commercial -residential nature. In addition, land uses
have been changed to reflect economically more viable ac-
tivities or uses more beneficial to the overall community,
The Land Use categories have been developed in conjunction
witn the existinq City of Miami Comprehensive Zoninq Ordinance*.

a) The area betweenNE 2nd Avenue and NW

of the elderly and transit dependent
residents living within the eastern part
of the planning district. Many of these
residents depend on the local area for
recreation, services and jobs. To improve
the local mobility of the residents within
this area, consideration should be given to
the establishment of a local shuttle bus
service that would operlte within this area.
Stich a system would interconnect community

'`:. Ht3iiS i tt Plan
mwoYte development of Huena Vista ns a viable urban
rinci ali
community by providing
decent housing, p � �t
for loco andmoderate income families, is a major
objective of the Buena Vista Revitalization Program,
At the present time them are approximately 300 units
of substandard housing within the Buena Vista area
representing approximately Y of the total housing
stock, of these units approximately 00 are classified
as deteriorated and in general are not economically
feasible to rehabilitate, and should be removed since
they have a deleterious effect on adjacent standard
structures. The remaining 200+ substandard structures
require major rehabilitation although due to age and
functional obsolescence, not all of these structures
can be rehabilited. Approximately of the 50 % of
total housing stock, over 1700 units require minor
repairs.
Overall housing objectives include increasing home-
ownership, improved housing maintenance, the removal
and/or rehabilitation of substandard units, and the
creation of an environment conducive to attracting
private reinvestment within the community.
Recommended actions to achieve these objectives in-
clude:
1.
Increasing Ilomeownership
a. City of "i ami Second Mortgage Program
utilization of a low interest second
mortgage program to develop moderate
income housing. Additional funding is
required for this program Citywide.
Develop a public relations program pro-
moting the positive attributes of the
neighborhood and better informing the
general public about the housing oppor-
tunitios available. A promotional bro-
chure should be developed for this area
located north of the Design Plaza stres-
sing the historic: nat.uro of the area and
the large concentration of architecturally
Ai cti not Qtr"v urns.

The economic revitalization of the Buena Vista Community
is one of the major components of the overall Community
improvement programs (See Map no. 12). Both commercial
development and programs dealing with employment training
are needed within the Buena vista area. A comprehensive
manpower training strategy with special focus on the
rapidly escalating Iiaitian population needs to be developed,
this plan deals basically with the physical redevelopment
of the community.

There are four major dommotdial areas within huena
Vista, NW 2nd Avenue, tit 2nd Avenue - Sabal Palms, 54th
Street and the Miami Design Plaza, All except NW 2nd Avenue
Can be classified as generally healthy and require
only minimal public assistance. The Miami Design Plaza
due to its unique character and regional economic impact
will be discussed more fully in a separate report
document.
Since there is a deficiency of convenient neignborhood
oriented retail facilities within the community and it
has been estimated that the area can support an additional
25,000-30,000 sq. ft. of retail activity, it is recom-
mended that the thrust of commercial revitalization ac-
tivity should be focused on NW 2nd Avenue which is stra-
tegically located within the study area and is currently
characterized by extremely marginal retail activity.
1. NW 2nd Avenue
a♦ Promote the continued expansion of design Plaza
related warehouse and ancillary commercial facil-
ities between 38th and 44th Streets. Assistance
of the Decorators Row Area Merchants Association
(DRAMA) should be solicited in promoting expansion
within this area.
Establish a Commercial. Revitalization District along
NW 2nd Avenue between NW 43r.d and 49t.h Streets
revitalization activities should be focused on
rehabilitation of existing coTmri.crci.al structures
and the construction of a limited amount of new
retail structures,
