Chapter 33C of the Code of Metropolitan Dade County, Florida, is hereby enacted as follows: CHAPTER 33C FIXED GUIDEWAY RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM - DEVELOPMENT ZONE Sec. 33C-1. Legislative intent, findings and purposes. The Board of County Commissioners for Metropolitan Dade County, Florida, hereby declares and finds that the uncoordinated use of lands within the county threatens the orderly development and the health, of safety, order, convenience, prosperity the present and future citizens of this county. Pursuant the Board adopted and accepted to Ordinance No. 75-22► ent Master Plan for Metropolitan the Comprehensive Development Dade County whereby it specifically declared that it was the continuing policy of Metropolitan Dade County, in cooperation with federal, state, regional and local organizations, o► and too user all^cerned reasonablelic meansdandlvate measures organizations,general welfare; b) to to: a) foster and promote the g create and maintain conditions under which man an fill nd nature can exist in productive harmony; and the social, economic and other requirements of the present and future generations Boardffurthernfoundof Mthatpthetan Dade County, Florida. smr ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ • • r, Not On Agenda Item No4 4 (g) Page No. 2 dtprehensive Development Master Plan was enacted to aasure for all people of Dade County an attempt to create safe, healthful, productive and aesthetically and culturally pleasing surroundings; to attain the widest range of beneficial uses of the environment without unreasonable degradation, risk to the health or safety, or other undesirable and unintended consequences, to preserve important historic, cultural and natural aspects of our national heritage; to maintain, wherever possible, an environment which supports diversity and variety of individual choice; to achieve a balance between population and resource which will permit the high standards of living and a wide sharing of life's amenities, and to enhance the quality of renewal resources and approach the maximum attainable recycling of depletable resources. In furtherance of these goals and objectives, the Board finds that the coordinated review and analysis of its mass transit facilities is necessary to carry on a central metropolitan government in Dade County, Florida. Coordinated review and analysis of the mass transit system is susceptible to, and would be most effectively carried on under, a uniform plan of regulation applicable to the county as a whole. The planning of major transportaticn facilities, combined with other plan implementation tools, can be effectively used in meeting social, economic, and environmental needs and in creating a major influence on metropolitan development patterns and life styles. The catability of a transportation network, acting in conjunction with other urban services to establish general development trends, is well recognized. A maximum coordination of transportation and land use policy decisions is therefore essential to optimize the role of transportaticn as a potent tool for implementing the desired patterns of metropolitan development. The Board further finds that the Stage I fixed guideway Rapid Transit System has, since 1973, undergone extensive planning, review, analysis, and engineering design efforts. The Stage I system has received design approval from both the Federal and State governments and is in the process of final design, procurement and construction activities. The Stage I system, including proposed improvements in other forms of surface transportation facilities represents a concerted, coordinated effort to improve not only the transportation facilities within Dade County, but the overall quality of life enjoyed by citizens of and visitors to Dade County. Finally, the Stage I system represents one of the largest public works projects ever undertaken in Dade County and the Southeastern United States. As such, the Stage I fixed guideway Rapid Transit System may only be planned, engineered, implemented, and administered on a County -wide basis, in a manner which will: (a) provide maximum opportunities for development to serve as financial assistance to the system, and (b) provide incentives for joint development with the private sector. r Not On Agenda Item NO, 4 (4) Page No. 3 ACI Rapid Transit Zone.
