COMMENTS: The following comments are being made in an effort to develop projects to their highest potential and make a significant contribution to improving the quality of our built environment with great architecture and urban design. Urban Design and Architecture • Provide further articulation of the perimeter walls of the judge's parking area. Public art is encouraged along all walls that front public spaces or plazas. Please include an enlarged elevation drawing that defines areas that will receive art or architectural articulation. • Continue to develop the landscape treatment along the parking areas to mitigate the presence of a large blank wall facing the street. • Submit a Landscape Plan and Cross-section of this area that illustrates how the wall will be screened by the proposed landscaping. It is our intention with these comments to aid in expediting Special Permit applications with your 1 voluntary efforts in making the necessary changes; thereby, avoiding any preventable delays particularly prior to a project's submission to the Large Scale Development Committee or the Urban Development Review Board. L4�J Date: To: From: Subject: Memorandum January 9, 2009 Lilia Medina, AICP Raj Shanmugam, P.E. Miami -Dade County Children's Courthouse MUSP (Review # 4) Preliminary Comments The following issues need to be addressed and the additional information requested need to be presented to complete our review of the traffic study: 1. There is existing metered parking along NW 4t" Street. The traffic study or site plan does not show if street parking is to be removed to accommodate all the proposed driveways. If the existing street parking is to be removed, coordination with City of Miami Parking Department is needed for the removal and replacing of existing parking; 2. Provide vehicle maneuverability details entering and exiting the site and within the parking garage. Also show the traffic circulation within the site; 3. Identify pedestrian accessibility or recommendations to accommodate pedestrian access to the Government Center Metrorail Station; 4. Revise Table A3 in Appendix D as there are some errors on the total approach traffic for PM Peak Hour Count and for Site Traffic. These may or may not affect tables/figures included in the analysis. If needed, please revise accordingly. The traffic study is based on higher future vehicle occupancy (1.4 persons per vehicle) per City of Miami procedures and the use of available public transportation in the City of Miami. As such, the traffic study states that effort will be made to promote the use of various modes of transportation by promoting the following Transportation Control Measures (TCM); • Car pooling; • Ridesharing; • Bicycle racks; The development approval of this site should be conditioned upon this TCM recommendations being implemented to recognize the credits given towards the transportation concurrency management.

The development of 1,500,000 square feet of office space within the 38.19 -acre area of downtown Miami known as the Downtown Government Center. 25. This development order shall expire on December 31, 2009 unless superseded by a development order for the extension time or amendment of development elements, CONCLUSION OF LAW The Notice of Proposed Change for the Downtown Government Center DRI proposed by Miami -Dade County complies with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, is consistent with the orderly development and goals of the City of Miami, and complies with local land development regulations being Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 11,000; and The proposed 'development does not unreasonably interfere with the achievement of the objectives of the adopted State Land Development Plan applicable to the City of Miami; and The proposed development is generally consistent with the Report and Recommendations of the South Florida Regional Planning Council and does not unreasonably interfere with any of the considerations and objectives set forth in Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. O DOWNTOWN GOVERNMENT CENTER DRI - REACTIVATION QUESTION 21 TRANSPORTATION STUDY METHODOLOGY The transportation study methodology to be utilized in preparing responses to Question 21 Transportation of the expired 1987 Downtown Government Center Development of Regional Impact (DTGC-DRI) Reactivation is consistent with the study methodology prepared for the approved Downtown Miami DRI Increment If. The general approach to the analysis will be to maintain the methodologies and analytical procedures applied in the recently approved Miami Downtown DRI Increment It Update. The trips for the DTGC-DRI were included in that DRI as background traffic carried over from the un -built portions of Increment 1. When the Miami Downtown DRI Increment I was prepared and approved, the DTGC-DRI was fully in effect. Sincq the remaining DTGC-DRI trips were built into the background analysis of the Miami Downtown DRI Increment II Update, the total traffic volumes will be maintained, and the analysis will in effect exchange the layers of project and background trips to identify that portion of the total trips that belong to the DTGC-DRI un -built development. By using this approach, the analysis will remain totally consistent with the previously approved methodology and not atter the conclusions relative to mitigations. It should also be noted that the roadway improvements required in the DTGC-DRI as mitigations have been built and the transit facilities have also been built_ Thus, the use of the previously agreed upon methodology and Ole build -out traffic volumes, set at the identical build -out dates (2009) will not negate mitigations or objectives set forth in the original DTGC-DRI. The acceptance of this document (or any future revision) shall be considered the Transportation Methodology Letter of Understanding (M LOU). The study methodology as outlined herein reflects a unique approach fora DRI transportation study due to the special characteristics of the study area which include the following: • The DTGC-DRI is located in an urban downtown area which is served by heavy rail mass transit and is governed by transportation. concurrency exception areas, special transportation areas and unique person -trip based transportation system capacity provisions outlined in the municipality's adopted comprehensive plan. • The DTGC-DRI is currently part of the approved Downtown Miami DRI Increment II Development Order 02-1307. Downtown Development Authority Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Methodology Letter of Understanding Revised April 15, 2005 -1- 0 Based upon the land use characteristics of the project and the assumptions used in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II, this transportation study will comply with the State DRI Transportation Rule subsection 9J-2.045 (3) (e), Florida Administrative Code (FAC) and subsection 9J-2.029 (2) (b), FAC, and will maintain consistency with the guidelines, policies and standards listed below: • The City of Miami traffic concurrency policies and procedures as contained in the adopted components of the Comprehensive Plan; Transportation Corridors: Meeting the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami from the Transportation Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, adopted February 1989 and revised in September 1990; and • The Miami -Dade County traffic concurrency policies and procedures as contained in the adopted components of the Miami -Dade County Comprehensive Plan, 1997 (where applicable). 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The DTGC-DRI is governed by the expired DRI development order from Resolution 81-843 (adopted April 23, 1981). The boundary of the DTGC-DRI is depicted in MapJ-1A and also located within the boundary of the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II Central Business District (CBD) sub -area. The land encompassing the DTGC-DRI is under the jurisdiction of Miami -Dade County. The land use Ole. and scale for the built and un -built development program of the DTGC-DRI are presented in Table 1. Table 1 and Map J -1A also show a re -defined phase 11 encompassing of the 1,288;888-1,500.000 square feet of un -built office space. This phase re -definition is primarily intended to make the under utilized P-2 and P-4 open space more attractive to pedestrians. The DTGC-DRi re -defined phase I development program anticipates a build -out date of 2009 concurrent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II 2. TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AREA- SPECIAL FEATURES AND STUDIES WHICH APPLY The following special designations, features and studies already exist within the study area for the DTGC-DRI: Special Features: A Transportation -Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) was adopted by the City of Miami and covers the entire area of Downtown Miami. Downtown Development Authority Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Methodology Letter of Understanding Revised April 15.. 2005 -2- • A Special Transportation Area (STA) was adopted by the City of Miami and applies to the study area for the DRI. The STA specifies that up to 20% of the regional facilities or intersections within the DRI may operate below acceptable standards (below LOS E)_ • The Transportation Corridors Capacity Methodology was adopted by the City of Miami as part of their Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. This methodology, is documented in Transportation Corridors: Meeting the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami from the Transportation Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, adopted February 1989 and revised in September 1990. • A specialized level of service (elevated LOS thresholds) was granted to roadways adjacent to transit facilities and was adopted by Miami -Dade County as part of their Comprehensive Development Master Plan. • The approved Downtown Miami DRI Increment It the boundary of which includes the DTGC- DRI. Special Studies: • The long range Miami Downtown Transportation Master Plan (MDTMP) April 2003 final report developed multimodal circulation improvements through 2020 which will service future downtown traffic. This study covered the same geographic area as the Downtown Miami DRI Increment It Update, but focused on specific long-range transportation network recommended. modifications to improve circulation within the downtown area and improve 00 connections between neighborhoods.

This methodology used the City of Miami's adopted Transportation Corridor framework to identify transportation corridor deficiencies, develop multi -modal corridor improvements, options and costs, and established an Increment II development mitigation fee to implement corridor improvements. Step 1. Establish Existing Corridor Conditions Existing traffic conditions were established on the downtown study area roadways (see Map J-1 B) and on corridors providing access to downtown by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment It, using the person -trip based corridor capacity methodology outlined in the Transportation Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (dated September 1990). The existing traffic conditions -analysis identified person -trip volumes and person -trip capacities within the downtown study area, established existing person -trip demands and identified whether or not person -trip deficiencies exist. The evaluation of existing traffic conditions covered the peak hour period only, defined as the Cl average of the two highest consecutive hours of trip volume during a weekday. Existing traffic conditions were analyzed during the peak season. An adopted standard of LOS E applies to the Transportation Corridors, as measured by the person -trip methodology. An update of the study corridors included within the downtown study area (and the person trip based corridor capacity methodology) was performed to identify the types of multi-modal/transit services currently in operation for each regional roadway facility in the downtown study area. The person -trip capacities and volumes for the study area roadways were developed using the guidelines and standards described on the following pages. Downtown Development Authority :.

Vehicle occupancy for the person -trip capacity calculations is based upon a comprehensive study performed for the City in 1989. The vehicle occupancy factor of 1.6 persons per vehicle is approved for use as the practical capacity of a private passenger vehicle (see Rule 9J-5.007-8(3)) to determine the person -trip capacity of the vehicular traffic system as demonstrated in the City's corridor methodology and in the adopted City comprehensive plan. i0 The fixed rail transit capacity for each corridor was updated based upon the number of transit vehicles per hour and the person -trip capacity of each transit vehicle. Pursuant to Rule 9J-5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for a rapid rail transit vehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headwa} s) shall not exceed 130% of the seated load. The rubbertire (bus) transit capacity for each corridorwas updated based upon the number of transit vehicles per hour and the person -trip capacity of each transit vehicle. Rubber tire transit capacity will include regularly scheduled transit service only subject to MDTA guidance or operation. Pursuant to Rule 9J-5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for a local bus transit vehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headways) shall not exceed 150% of the seated load. Pursuant to Rule 9J-5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for an express bus transit vehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headways) shall not exceed 125% of the seated load. Bicycle and pedestrian capacity will be incorporated into the corridor methodology for those .roadways identified with deficient person -trip capacity (from the existing conditions analysis), which are significantly impacted by the project. Person -Trip Volumes The calculation of the person -trip volumes for each of the study corridors was updated by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II using the following general guidelines: Downtown Development Authority Methodology Loner of Understanding -8- Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Revised April 15. 2005 0 ® The peak hour period vehicular volumes were updated using counts obtained from Miami - Dade County and FDOT traffic count data. Additional traffic data was collected by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II applicant and the MDTMP on study corridors where count data was not available. Link volumes were collected consistent with FDOT standard practices and adjusted to peak season traffic conditions (for the peak hour period) using seasonal adjustment factors provided by FDOT District 6. • Vehicle occupancy is based upon a comprehensive study performed for the City in 1989. The vehicle occupancy factor of 1.4 persons per vehicle is already approved for use to determine person trips from existing vehicular traffic as demonstrated in the City's corridor methodology and in the adopted City comprehensive plan. • The fixed rail transit ridership was updated using data from MDTA. • The rubber tire bus transit ridership was updated using data from MDTA. Available Person -Trip Capacity The available person -trip. capacity for each corridor consistent with the Downtown Miami DRi Increment II has been identified based upon the following: • Person Trip Capacity - Person Trip Volume = Available Person Trip Capacity • A general level of service designation (as outlined in the Transportation Corridors Methodology) has been provided foreach study corridorbased upon the calculated available 00 person trip capacity consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11. Step 2• Person -Trip Generation For DTGC-DRI In order to determine .the extent to which the DTGC-DRI development program will impact the roadway corridors in the downtown study area, project significance will be established using the person-trip.as the unit of measure. Person -trip generation will be developed for the DTGC-DRI consistentwith the methodology forthe Downtown Miami DRI Increment II. The DTGC-DRI person trips for the total development program will be assigned to the downtown study area corridors using the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 1 distribution percentages. Corridor significance will be evaluated based upon the 5% rule using person -trip impacts against person -trip capacity. Finally, a determination will be made to indicate whether or not the DTGC-DRI person -trips significantly impact a deficient corridor_ Downtown Development Authority Methodology Letter of Understanding -9-' Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Revised April 15. 2005 ® The DTGC-DRI development program consists of government office and it is served by an extensive mass transit system due to its close proximity to Metro -rail, Metro -mover and rubber tire bus routes. The mixture of land uses surrounding the DTGC-DRI and the true urban downtown setting increases the opportunity for pedestrian trip modes. Project trip generation for the DTGC-DRI will be based on the calculation of person trips within the boundaries of the DRI. The vehicle trips generated by the DTGC-DRI will be converted to person -trips using the following procedures consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment fl: • Determine the vehicular trip generation using ITE rates or formulas as used in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 for office land use and convert to person -trips using 1.4 persons per vehicle pursuant to City standards. • The DTGC-DRI is located within the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 CBD sub -area; therefore, internalization as established in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II derived using modeling - within each TAZ and within and between areas— Omni, CBD, Brickell will be applied. • Person -trip allocations to rail and rubber tire transit modes, pedestrian modes and bicycle modes as determined in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11; �\ ® Calculate the person trips for the DTGC-DRI. UProject Distribution And Assignment The project distribution assignment for the roadway network shall be consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment Il and will then layer the DTGC-DRI development project traffic over background plus committed development traffic_ Step 3: Establish Future Traffic Conditions for Significantly Impacted Deficient Corridors The person -trip background traffic growth as forecasted by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II shall be. used for the DTGC-DRI build -out year of 2009. Modeling was utilized to forecast the vehicular growth traversing the study area, which was then converted to person -trips using the vehicle occupancy of 1.4 persons per vehicle_ In addition to the person -trip impacts of committed development already incorporated to the background growth traffic by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II (un -built Increment t minus the un -built DTGC-DRI and Southeast Overtown Park West), the development level of the Downtown Miami DRI Increment It will be incorporated as part of the background growth plus committed development traffic. The un -built DTGC-DRI person -trips Downtown Development Authority Methodology Letter of Understanding -10- Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Revised April 15, 2005 will then be incorporated to establish total future background person -trip conditions to determine the significantly impacted and deficient corridors. Intersections located within and/or at the ends of significantly impacted and deficient corridors will be arialyzed using FDOT approved methods. Step 4: Identify SignificantlV Impacted Corridors Provide a listing of significantly impacted and deficient corridors resulting from the analysis - Step 5: Develop Implementable Mitigation Strategies for Significantly Impacted Deficient Corridors Pursuant to the person -trip based corridors methodology which accounts for the corridor's ability to move people by many transportation modes (via fixed rail transit, rubber tire transit, standard motorized vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians), mitigation will be developed which encourages greater efficiency and usage of underutilized components of the downtown Miami multi -modal transportation system_ Multi -modal mobility options will be incorporated into proposed mitigation strategies. Mitigation costs will be established to develop a mitigation fee - 00 The mitigation for the DTGC-DRI will likely focus specifically on the provision of corridor enhancements for the pedestrian to further encourage the use of fixed rail transit, rubber tire transit and increased pedestrian activity as the preferred travel modes into, out of and within the project area. Implementation of this type of mitigation (or similar multi -modal improvements) shall follow the general guidelines outlined below: • The City/DDA shall identify those corridors, which would benefit from corridor enhancements for the pedestrian. • Each corridor must provide pedestrian connections that either link pedestrians to fixed rail transit stations or rubber tire transit stops or link pedestrians to residential and employment land uses. • The City/DDA shall determine the estimated costs per linear foot for corridor enhancements for the pedestrian. Total corridor enhancement costs will be used to develop a DRI mitigation fee for the DTGC- DRI development program for the Downtown Miami DRI.

Additional information may be requested by the Department or any reviewing agency to clarify the nature of the change or the resulting impacts. See Attachment 1 In the late 1970's, Miami Dade County started the planning process for a new, Downtown Government Center ("DTGC"). The purpose of the government center was to bring together City, County, State and Federal office buildings in a manner that could be easily accessible to the general public. This was especially true for the DTGC, due to the development of the Metrorail system, which was, designed to use the downtown area as one of its main hubs for intermodal transfer. In fact, the Stephen P. Clark Centel, which O serves as "County.Hall" is directly connected to the DTGC Metrorail and Metromover stations. The DTGC is also the site of the downtown bus terminal which accommodates routes that interconnect with Metrorail and other components of the County rapid and mass transit systems. Miami -Dade County worked closely with other governmental agencies and since 1979, City, County, State and Federal centers have been developed. Attachment 1 outlines everything that has been developed to date. Furthermore, the mitigation that was incorporated in the original development order has been accomplished. Briefly, the most significant components of the mitigation included: 1. Rezoning the DTGC footprint to GU. 2. Platting of the DTGC to reflect new parcel configurations. 3. Implementation of street improvements for NW 1'`, 2°d and 34 Avenues, NW 3'd Street and the vacation of NW 2'4 Street. 4. Development of central chiller facilities and the connection of the Stephen P. Clark Center, Cultural Center, City Administration Building Phase 1 (Mcknum Building) and other County and City owned buildings within close proximity to the DTGC. S. Preparation of an Open Space Plan that led to the development of the park adjacent to the Stephen P. Clark Center. The development order that approved the Downtown Government Cenep Resolution 81 - Submitted by Mami-Dade County 3 ' Notice of Proposed Change Downtown Government Center DM Reactivation 843, was due to expire on April 23, 1987 unless superseded by a development order for the final phase of the DTGC. This date passed without the issuance of a new development order, therefore, the original development order has expired. The expiration was due, in part, to the completion of the primary buildings of the Downtown Government Center and the lack of funding and/or demand for additional facilities. This has recently changed as a result of the need to develop a new Children's Courthouse that will replace and expand upon current facilities located at 3300 NW 27" Avenue. On November 2, 2004 the voters approved a General Obligation Bond Program that provides over $2.9B in capital improvement funding for a variety of County facilities, including over $242M for public service and outreach facilities_ Since the issuance of the original development order, the area of the DTGC has been put through extensive review and scrutiny as a result of Increments I and H of the Downtown Miami Development of Regional Impact applications submitted by the City of Ntiami and approved by the South Florida Regional Planning Council. These applications have taken into account the impact of the DTGC on the transportation system. Attachment 2 to this application addresses the transportation issues. Mami-Dade County is proposing to reactivate the development order to provide for the furrowing changes: 1. The schedule for completion of the proposed development for Phase 2 will be 2009. 2. Parcel C-3 is to be developed under the direction of the City of Miami's Downtown Miami Development of Regional Impact Increments I and 2 and will no longer be considered a component of the DTGC DRL 3. Parcels E-2 and P-1 shall be the site of the new Children's Courthouse. The site shall accommodate the 300,000 square feet +/- office and courts facility and the related open space. The project is described in detail below: The first major project to be identified for the DTGC, since the completion of the other components, is the new Children's Courthouse_ This facility has been in the planning stage by the Ilei Judicial District and Miami -Dade County since 2001. This parcel was recommended by the County and selected by the Courts due to the close. proximity to other Court related facilities in the DTGC, primarily the Dade County Courthouse and the Lawson E_ Thomas Courthouse Center which serves as the County's Family Court. Furthermore, the relocation of this facility to the DTGC will provide expanded public transportation alternatives to those who will be using, visiting and working at the facility as compared to the current location at which is currently served on a limited basis by Metrobus and no rapid transit service. Finally, the employees at the facility will benefit from the current State-owned parking garage located xo the north ad}acet-to-the-SWe Rggional-Service Dente -......_ _.... _ _. _.. _ . Submitted by Kam[ -Dade County C� Notice of Proposed Change Downtown Government Center DR] Reactivation This facility, which has been estimated at $105M is funded by Nfiiami-Dade County through special obligation bonds that have already been sold. The County has advertised for an architect for the design of the project. It is anticipated that the project will be designed as a signature building with particular attention to integration of the building into the context of the DTGC and pedestrian connections to the Stephen P. Clark Center and public transportation_ 'Based on the current development schedule, the completion of this building is planned in 2012. 4. Parcel P-3 shall be developed as office use in lieu of open space_ This parcel is a 45,000 square foot site,located on NW 2 d Avenue adjacent to the Hickman Building. The 70,000 -square foot Hickman Building was originally developed by the City of M1ami with a planned expansion of 280,000 square feet to be developed as part of Phase 1 of the DRI by 1987. The expansion was not built and the facility was sold to the County in 1996. The building currently houses the County's Park and Recreation Department and the juvenile Assessment Center. It is the County's intent to developed this property in a manner that will maximize the footprint and complement the Hickman Building_ Originally, the County had planned to develop open space that would flank NW 2d O Avenue from NW 1O Street to NW a Street. A substantial component of the open space was implemented with the development of the 2 -acre park (sites P-2 and P4) located adjacent to the Stephen P. Clark Center. An open space component will also be developed as part of the Children's Courthouse as described. in #3 above. It is anticipated that these open spaces will be sufficient to meet the needs of the users of the DTGC. Additional open spaces are available within the plaza of the Cultural Center and Bayfront Park, which is readily accessible via the Metromover. In keeping with the office and institutional nature of the DTGC, developing this site for future government will allow for the development of government facilities in a more efficient manner by bringing them in close proximity to other government facilities and allowing for rapid and mass transit access. 5.The County has originally proposed developing a total of 1,500,000 square feet of office use and 310,000 square feet of ancillary use as part of the final development phase. The County is proposing the development of 1,200,000 gross square feet to be distributed over parcels P-1, E-2, B -2b, P-3, E-1 and B -lb. 6. Complete the attached Substantial Deviation Determination Chart for all land use types approved in the development. If no change is proposed or has occurred, indicate no change. Submitted by Mlaml-Dade County Notice of Proposed Change Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation See Attachment 2 7.

Identify such land, its size, intended use, and adjacent non -project land uses within % mile on a project master site plan or other map. While not within the boundary of the DTGC, Miami --Dade County purchased the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse Center in the early 1990's. This building was purchased to serve as the Family Court for the 116 Judicial Circuit. Within the DRI boundary, the County did purchase the parcels identified as B -2a and B-1 a and gave the City of Miami Parcel C-2. Parcel C-2 has been developed by the City of Miamd, through the Downtown Development Authority, as a Charter School. Parcel B -2b is the location of the former City Administration Building, a 70, 000 square foot office building previously owned by the City of Miami. The buflding currently houses the County's Park and Recreation Department and the Juvenile Assistance Center. Parcel B -la houses a 1000 -car garage. 9. Indicate if the proposed change is less than 40% (cumulatively with other previous changes) of any of the criteria listed in Paragraph 380.06(19)(b), Florida Statutes. Do you believe this notification of change proposes a change which meets the criteria of Subparagraph 380.06(19)(e)2., F.S. ( Submitted by Miami -Dade County Notice of Proposed Change Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation YES X NO 10. Does the proposed change result in a change to the buildout date or any phasing date of the project? If so, indicate the proposed new buildout or phasing dates. According to the recently completed building program for the Children's Courthouse, the square footage for the facility will be approximately 300,000 square feet. The County has received proposals for the design of the facility and is in the process of going through the selection process for these services. The timing for the remainder of the vacant County -owned property is dependent on need and the availability of funding. As mentioned earlier, the County electorate has just approved a $2.9B general obligation bond program that includes funding for governmental. facilities. It is anticipated that facilities identified in the program may be suited for location in the DTGC; however, specifics regarding these facilities will not be identified while this application is under review. in this application, Miami -Dade County is seeking to continue with the development of the ODTGC with a projected completion date, of 2009. 11.

O DOWNTOWN GOVERNMENT CENTER DRI - REACTtVAT10N TRANSPORTATION STUDY METHODOLOGY The transportation study methodology to be utilized in preparing responses to Question 21 Transportation of the expired 1987 Downtown Government Center Development of Regional impact (DTGGDRI) Reactivation is consistent with the study methodology prepared for the approved Downtown Miami DRI Increment If. The general approach to the analysis will be to maintain the methodologies and analytical procedures applied in the recently approved Miami Downtown DRI Increment If Update. The trips for the DTGGDRI were included in that DRi as background traffic carried over from the un -built portions of Increment I. When the Miami Downtown DRI Increment I was prepared and approved, the DTGGDRI was fully in effect. Since the remaining DTGGDRI trips were built Into the background analysis.of the Miami Downtown DRI Increment It Update, the total traffic volumes will be maintained, and the analysis will in effect exchange the layers of project and background trips to identify that portion of the total trips that belong to the DTGGDRI un -built development. By using this approach, the analysis will remain totally consistent with the previously approved methodology and not alter the conclusions relative to mitigations. It should also be noted that the roadway improvements required in the DTGGDRI as mitigations have been built and the transit facilities have also been built. Thus, the use of the previously agreed upon methodology and build -out traffic volumes, set at the identical build -out dates (2009) will not negate mitigations or objectives set forth in the original DTGGDRI. The acceptance of this document (or any future revision) shall be considered the Transportation Methodology Letter of Understanding (MLOU). The study methodology as outlined'herein reflects a unique approach for a DRI transportation study due to the special characteristics of the study area which include the following: • The DTGGDRI is located in an urban downtown area which is served by heavy rail mass transit and is governed by transportation concurrency exception areas, special transportation areas and unique person -trip based transportation system capacity provisions outlined in the municipality's adopted comprehensive plan. The DTGGDRI is currently part of the approved Downtown Miami DRI Increment Il Development Order 02-1307. Downtown Development Author4y MedxKMogy Letter of Understanding 4 - Downtown Government Center ORI Reactivation November 2, 2004 Based upon the land use characteristics of the project and the assumptions used in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11, this transportation study will comply with the State DRI Transportation Rule subsection 9J-2.045 (3) (e), Florida Administrative Code (FAC) and subsection 9J-2.029 (2) (b), FAC, and will maintain consistency with the guidelines, policies and standards listed below: The City of Miami traffic concurrency policies and procedures as contained in the adopted components of the Comprehensive Plan; Transportation Corridors: Meering the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami from the Transportation Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, adopted February 1989 and revised in September 1990; and The Miami -Dade County traffic concurrency policies and procedures as contained in the adopted components of the Miami -Jade County CoMptehensfve Plan, 1.997 (where applicable). 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The DTGC-DRI is governed by the expired DRI development order from Resolution 81-843 (adopted April 23, 1981). The boundary of the DTGC-DRI is depicted in Map J -1A and also located within the boundary of the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 Central Business District (CBD) sub -area. The land encompassing the DTGC-DRI is under the jurisdiction of Miami -Dade County. The land use and Cscale for the built and unbuilt development program of the DTGC-DRi are presented in Table 1. Table 1 and Map J4A also show a re -defined phase 11 encompassing of the 1,200,ODO square feet of un -built office space. This phase re -definition is primarily intended to make the under utilized P-2 and P-4 open space more attractive to pedestrians. The DTGG-DRI re -defined phase 11 development program anticipates a build -out date of 2009 concurrent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II. 2. TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AREA - SPECIAL FEATURES AND STUDIES WHICH APPLY The following special designations, features and studies already exist within the study area for the DTGC-DRI: Special Features; A Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) was adopted by the City of Miami and covers the entire area of Downtown Miami. A Special Transportation Area (STA) was adopted by the City of Miami and applies to the study area for the DRI. The STA specifies that up to 20% of the regional facilities or intersections within the DRI may operate below acceptable standards (below LOS Q.

UNIQUE DRI TRANSPORTATION EVALUATION PROCESS FOR DTGGDRI For consistency, the DTGC-DRI analysis and traffic data will be structured in a manner that will enable reliance upon the substantial database used and approved in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II Update. This methodology used the City of Miami's adopted Transportation Corridor framework to identify transportation corridor deficiencies, develop multi -modal corridor improvements, options and costs, and established an Increment 11 development mitigation fee to implement corridor improvements. Step 1. Establish Existing Corridor CondMons E)dsting traffic conditions were established on the downtown study area roadways (see Map J-1 B) and on corridors providing access to downtown by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11, using the. person -trip based corridor capacity methodology outlined in the Transportation Element of the AfVW Comprehensive Maighborhood Plan 9989-2000 (dated September 1990). The existing traffic conditions analysis identified person -trip volumes and person -trip capacities within the downtown study area, established existing personArip demands and identified whether or not person -trip deficiencies exist. OThe evaluation of existing traffic conditions covered the peak hour period only, defined as the average of the two highest consecutive hours of trip volume during a weekday. Existing traffic conditions were analyzed during the peak season. An adopted standard of LOS E applies to the Transportation Corridors, as measured by the person -trip methodology. An update of the study corridors included within the downtown study area (and the person trip based corridor capacity methodology) was performed to identify the types of multi--modal/tr'ansit services currently in operation for each regional roadway facility in the downtown study area. The person -trip capacities and volumes for the study area roadways were developed using the guidelines and standards described on the following pages_ Downtown Development Authority Methodology Letter of Understancing -6- Downtown Government Center DRI Reac@vation November 2, 2004 Insert Map J-1 B Downtown Development Authority Methodo" Letter of Understanding -7- Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation November 2, 2004 —7— t Biscaynb, scede NW 20 SI. 8=Y C A 111: kp N Z 00) i N4N 17 3t. i/ 15 5l.

Vehicle occupancy for the person -trip capacity calculations is based upon a comprehensive study performed for the City in 1989. The vehicle occupancy factor of 1.6 persons per vehicle is approved for use as the practical capacity of a private passenger vehicle (see Rule 9J-5.007-8(3)) to determine the person -trip capacity of the vehicular traffic system as demonstrated in the City s corridor methodology and in the adopted City comprehensive plan. The fixed rail transit capacity for each corridor was updated based upon the number of transit 0 vehicles per hour and the person -trip capacity of each transit vehicle. Pursuant to Rule 8J- 5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for a rapid rail transit vehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headways) shall not exceed 130% of the seated load. The rubber tire (bus) transit capacity for each corridor was updated based upon the number of transit vehicles per hour and the person -trip capacity of each transit vehicle. Rubber tire transit capacity will include regularly scheduled transit service only subject to MDTA guidance or operation. Pursuant to Rule 9J-5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for a local bus transit vehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headways) shall not exceed 150% of the seated load. Pursuant to Rule 9J-5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for an express bus transit vehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headways) shall not exceed 125% of the seated load. Bicycle and pedestrian capacity will be incorporated into the corridor methodology for those roadways identified with deficient person -trip capacity (from the existing conditions analysis), which are significantly impacted by the project. Person -Trip Volumes The calculation of the person -trip volumes for each of the study corridors was updated by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 using the following general guidelines: Downtown Development Authority Methodology Letter of Understanding Downtown Government Center DR! Reactivation November 2, 2004 The peak hour period vehicular volumes were updated using counts obtained from Miami - Dade County and FDOT traffic count data. Additional traffic data was collected by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment ii applicant and the MDTMP on study corridors where count data was not available. Link volumes were collected consistent with FDOT standard practices and adjusted to peak season traffic conditions (for the peak hour period) using seasonal adjustment factors provided by FDOT District 6. Vehicle occupancy is based upon a comprehensive study performed for the City in 1989. The vehicle occupancy factor of 1.4 persons per vehicle is already approved for use to determine person trips from existing vehicular traffic as demonstrated in the CAys corridor methodology and in the adopted City comprehensive plan. The fixed rail transit ridership was updated using data from MDTA. The rubber fire bus transit ridership was updated using data from MDTA. Available Person Trip Capacity The available person -trip capacity for each corridor consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 has been identified based upon the following, • Person Trip Capacity — Person Trip Volume = Available Person Trip Capacity • A general level of service designation (as outlined in the Transportation Corridors Methodology) has been provided for each study corridor based upon the calculated available Operson trip capacity consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II. Sten 2: Person -Trip Generation For DTGC-DRi In order to determine the extent to which the DTGC-DRI development program will impact the roadway corridors in the downtown study area, project significance will be established using the person -trip as the unit of measure. Person -trip generation will be developed for the DTGC-DRI consistent with the methodology for the Downtown Miami DRi Increment II. The DTGC-DRI person trips for the total development program will be assigned to the downtown study area corridors using the Downtown Miami DRI Increment I distribution percentages. Condor significance will be evaluated based upon the 5% rule using person -trip impacts against person -trip capacity. Finally, a detennination will be made to indicate whether or not the DTGC-DRI person -trips significantly impact a deficient corridor. Downtown Development Authority Methodology leiter of Undersfandng -9- Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation November 2, 2004 The DTGC-DRI development program consists of government office and It is served by an extensive mass transit system due to its dose proximity to Metro -rail, Metro -mover and rubber tine bus routes. The mixture of land uses surrounding the DTGC-DRI and the true urban downtown setting increases the opportunity for pedestrian trip modes. Project trip generation for the DTGC-DRI will be based on the calculation of person trips within the boundaries of the DRI. The vehicle lips generated by the DTGC=DRi will be converted to person -trips using the following procedures consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II: • Determine the vehicular trip generation using ITE rates or fomxrlas as used in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 for office land use and convert to person -trips using 1.4 persons per vehicle pursuant to City standards. • The DTGC-DRI is located within the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 CBD sub -area; therefore, internalization as established in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II derived using modeling - within each TAZ and within and between areas — Omni, CBD, Brickell will be applied. Person -trip allocations to rail and rubber fire transit modes, pedestrian modes and bicycle modes as determined in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11; • Calculate the person trips for the DTGC-DRI. Project Distribution And Assignment The project distribution assignment for the roadway network shall be consistent with the Downtown Miami DRi Increment If and will then layer the DTGC-DRI development project traffic over background plus committed development traffic. Step 3• Establish Future Traffic Conditions forSlonfficarMy Impacted Deficient Corridors The person -trip background traffic growth as forecasted by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II shall be used for the DTGC-DRI build -out year of 2009. Modeling was utilized to forecast the vehicular growth traversing the study area, which was then converted to person -trips using the vehicle occupancy of 1.4 persons per vehicle. In addition to the person -trip impacts of committed development already incorporated to the background growth traffic by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 (un -built Increment I minus the un -built DTGC-DRI and Southeast Overtown Park West), the development level of the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II will be incorporated as part of the background growth plus committed development traffic. The un -built DTGC-DRI person -trips will then be inGorperated to estabiistrtotal frit Downtown Development Authoft Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Methodology Letter of Understanding November 2, 2004 -1Q Osignificantly impacted and deficient corridors. Intersections located within and/or at the ends of significantly impacted and deficient corridors will be analyzed using FDOT approved methods. Step 4: Idel3tifv Signifisnntiy Irripgcted Corrldom Provide a listing of significantly impacted and deficient corridors resulting from the analysis. Step 5: Develop Implementable Mitigation Strategies for ftnificantty Impacted Deficient Corridors Pursuant to the person -trip based corridors methodology which accounts for the corridors ability to move people by many transportation modes (via fixed rail transit, rubber tire transit, standard motorized vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians), mitigation will be developed which encourages greater efficiency and usage of underutilized components of the downtown Miami multi -modal transportation system. Multi -modal mobility options will be incorporated into proposed mitigation strategies. Mitigation costs will be established to develop a mitigation fee. The mitigation for the DTGGDRI will likely focus specifically on the provision of corridor enhancements for the pedestrian to further encourage the use of fixed rail transit, rubber tine transit and increased pedestrian activity as the preferred travel modes into, out of and within the project area. Implementation of this type of mitigation (or similar multi -modal improvements) shall follow the general guidelines outlined below: The City/DDA shall identify those corridors, which would benefit from corridorenhanoements for the pedestrian. • Each corridor must provide pedestrian connections that either link pedestrians to fixed rail transit stations or rubber tire transit stops or link pedestrians to residential and employment land uses. The City/DDA shall determine the estimated costs per linear foot for corridor enhancements for the pedestrian. Total corridor enhancement costs will be used to develop a DRI mitigation fee for the OTGG DRI development program for the Downtown Miami DRi.

Based on our research of the files that were available, we have found a Miami -Dade County memorandum dated February 25, 1985 entitled "Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) DRI Monitoring Plan". This memorandum was submitted to the City of Miami and the State of Florida for the purpose of reporting on the status of compliance with the mitigation requirements. A copy of this memorandum is attached for reference. Of particular relevance to the NOPC currently under consideration is the information regarding Traffic Circulation: The memorandum states, TRAFFIC CIRCULATION: 71 % of the street improvements required to implement the ,DGC Phase One traffic circulation plan are now operating and in use. This will increase to 80% upon completion of the next scheduled component in August 1985. The entire DGC Phase One street improvement program is planned for completion by the County by or before the end of 1986. Our research has also found a memorandum dated February 22, 1983 entitled "Downtown Government Center Traffic Circulation". This memorandum outlines all the improvements that were programmed for the purpose of addressing the requirements of the development order in a manner, "...assuming and accepting a continuation of emphasis on pedestrian n mobility within the Center." According to the memorandum, this circulation plan was endorsed by a committees of the Board of County Commissioners in 1982 and 1983 and endorsed by the City of Miami and the Downtown Development Authority in 1982. A copy of this memorandum is attached. To our knowledge, the improvements contained in the memorandum were implemented. ;,� 12 �'D FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS (DCA) DRI MONITORING PROGRAM February 25, 1985 Development: DOWNTOWN GOVERNMENT CENTER (DCA Priority Three) Location: MIAMI, DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA Developer(s).

In compliance with Development Order Condition 21 many other considerations in the approval were reflected, by the incorporation of all original and additional revisions to tiffs originally subpnitte_d ADA into one complete document and the transmittal o.f cgpies of this document: to the City Of Miami, (5 copies), the; SFRPC (6), and the DCA (1).. Furthermore it is perhaps important to understand that both the approved ADA and the Development Order were also intended to provide for the complete .translation into physical form of public policy, goals, and objectives for the project that have been generated and sustained by its tri -partite governmental support. Tweet. -three years ago, Dade County and the City of Miami embarked on a long-term .project to develop a Government Center in the region's downtown core as -had first been proposed in 1960, As this process has evolved, overall goals for the project have been furiher defined to include: ° consolidation of government services in a central .location, C1 ' to create an appropriate physical and symbolie setting f for government, ' to .foimt, interaction among government agencies. to make it more convenient.and efficient for people tiff do business with -their:government. to stimulate revitalization of the region's historical heartland. ° creation _of :a new focal point for cultural and govern- mental affairs to which the public can relate with genuine pride, to encourage the use of mass transit and other modes of transportation iii. Lieu of private automobiles. in order to achieve these goals certain broad objectives 2nd plan characteristics had emerged at the time of the ADA for the project's Phase One development; among them: ° to give physical expression to thie.D.GC as a place distinct from, yet closely linked to, the fabric of the city. ° to locate each government agency within an identifiable precinct. ° to create a central open space to give unity and coherence to the various government.buildinigs. ° through the.provision of cultural, recreational, and limited commercial amenities to encourage extensive Public • _ _ . --.activlt3�.in..She 1}fC__�n�S2rc?�d.S.iine.

Powell Director Public Works Department This rep.ort memorandum is submitted in response to a requirement placed on the Downtown Government Center Development plan by the South Florida Regional Planning Council. The Public Works Department has analyzed both long and short tetra traffic c rculation.needs within the developing DoWatown Government Center. This analysis was conducted assuming and accepting a continuation of emphasis on pedestrian mobility within the Center. The attached drawing reflects this Department's circulation plan and_aont;ains the following significant element$., some of which depart from previous study recommendations. ELEMENT 1. Construction improvements are currently under contract on N:. W. 3 Avenue at N. W..2 Street and N. W. 3 Court from Ni W. 2 Street to W:Pl 'Vest Street. These improvements will provide significant increases in capacity and circulation and are'basic to this recommendation or any variation. 2. Concluding construction of the. Central -Support facilities site (Designation A), westbound Flagi,er Street west of 2 Avenue will be channelized to 3 Avenue: providing westward continuation via N. W. I Street. 3. Northwest 2 Street from 3 Court to 2 Avenue. will be convexted to twror�way operation. This change sigai€icantly improves access to City and County patking garages and viii be implemented upon completion of garage construction. 4. Northwest 3 Street from 3 Court to 'I Avenue will be converted to two-way operat.idA: one eastbound, 2 westbound lanes with left turn lanes constructed at 2 Avenue. S.. -Northwest 2 Avenue will, be improved to provide a. three -lane section which will facilitate lest turning movements between S. W. 1 Street and N. W. 5 Street. 6. Pavement marking changes will be accomplished by March, 1983, on both 3 Avenue and .3 Court to provide better ebannelization and uti.lization.of existing pavement. r Stephen C. Little - 2 - February 22, 1983 7. Metrobus activity will be accommodated within this plan by a terminal facility adjacent to S. W. '1 Avenue and curb- side operations anticipated along N. W. I Avenue between N. V. 2 and N. W. I streets. 8. Numerous resurfacing, striping, signing and construction impraygmeXt of radius returns within the Government Center will be implemented at various locations. 9. Implementation of this pl.m will necessitate removal of on-street parking along we-at 2 Avenue frov S. W. 1 Street to N. W: 5 Street, and N. W. 2 Street from 3 Avenue to 2 Avenue. When the Kettobus curbside operation (Element 1) is initiated, on-street p-arking along N. W. 1 Avenue from N. W. 1 Street to N. W. 5 Street would be removed. Implementation of this plan will provide the ma%imum balance between pedestrian activity and the. minimum intrusion of vehicle motor traffic, while providing ingress and egress and circulation to the center. TA piasentiAg this matter to the South florida Regional Playing Council, it. is significant to .note that this plan was endorsed, by the Board of County Commission Internal Support Service Subcommittee on November U. �• 1982, and the Transportation Subcommittee on January 1.3; 1983. By letter, The City of Miami (Navembet I7. 1982) and Dovntown Development Authority (December 10, 1.982) have also endorsed this plan. WNiP/CWB/em Attachment cc, Walter A. Rerudon, Jr. Charles W.

This assumption was based on the review of previously approved documents and information received from the City of Miami. With the continued assistance of the City of Miami, we have secured additional documentation that supports our earlier assumptions. Upon review of the Miami Downtown DRI Study dated 1986 we found that the permitted developments taken into consideration for the Transportation Analysis contained the following projects contained in the Downtown Government Center, as described in Map J -3A "Permitted Development Locations".

This development order shall expire on December 31, 2009 unless superseded by a development order for the extension time or amendment of development elements, CONCLUSION OF LAW The Notice of Proposed Change for the Downtown Government Center DRi proposed by Miami -Dade County complies with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, is consistent with the orderly development and goals of the City of Miami, and complies with local land development regulations being Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 11,000; and The proposed development does not unreasonably interfere with the achievement of the objectives of the adopted State Land Development Plan applicable to the City of Miami; and The proposed development is generally consistent with the Report and Recommendations of the South Florida Regional Planning Council and does not unreasonably interfere with any of the considerations and objectives set forth in Chapter 380, Florida Statutes_ 35 DOWNTOWN GOVERNMENT CENTER DRI - REACTIVATION QUESTION 21 TRANSPORTATION STUDY METHODOLOGY The transportation study methodology to be utilized in preparing responses to Question 21 Transportation of the expired 1987 Downtown Government Center Development of Regional Impact (DTGC-DRI) Reactivation is consistent with the study methodology prepared for the approved Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11. The general approach to the analysis will be to maintain the methodologies and analytical procedures applied in the recently approved Miami Downtown DRI Increment II Update. The trips for the DTGC-DRI were included in that DRI as background traffic carried over from the un -built portions of Increment I. When the Miami Downtown DRI Increment I was prepared and approved, the DTGC-DRI was fully in effect. Since the remaining DTGC-DRI trips were built into the background analysis of the Miami Downtown DRI Increment II Update, the total traffic volumes will be maintained, and the analysis will in effect exchange the layers of project and background trips to identify that portion of the total trips that belong to the DTGC-DRI un -built development. By using this approach, the analysis will remain totally consistent with the previously approved methodology and not alter the conclusions relative to mitigations. It should also be noted that the roadway improvements required in the DTGC-DRI as mitigations have been built and the O transit facilities have also been built. Thus, the use of the previously agreed upon methodology and build -out traffic volumes, set at the identical build -out dates (2009) will not negate mitigations or objectives set forth in the original DTGC-DRI. The acceptance of this document (or any future revision) shall be considered the Transportation Methodology Letter of Understanding (MLOU). The study methodology as outlined herein reflects a unique approach for a DRI transportation study due to the special characteristics of the study area which include the following: • The DTGC-DRI is located in an urban downtown area which is served by heavy rail mass transit and is governed by transportation concurrency exception areas, special transportation areas and unique person -trip based transportation system capacity provisions outlined in the municipality's adopted comprehensive plan. • The DTGC-DRI is currently part of the approved Downtown Miami DRI Increment II Development Order 02-1307. Downtown Development Authority Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Methodology Letter of Understanding Revised April 15, 2005 U -1- Based upon the land use characteristics of the project and the assumptions used in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment ll, this transportation study will comply with the State DRI Transportation Rule subsection 9J-2.045 (3) (e), Florida Administrative Code (FAC) and subsection 9J-2.029 (2) (b), FAC, and will maintain consistency with the guidelines, policies and standards listed below: • The City of Miami traffic concurrency policies and procedures as contained in the adopted components of the Comprehensive Plan; • Transportation Condors. Meeting the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami from the Transportation Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, adopted February 1989 and revised in September 1990; and • The Miami -Dade County traffic concurrency policies and procedures as contained in the adopted components of the Miami -Dade County Comprehensive Plan, 1997 (where applicable). 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The DTGC-DRI is governed by the expired DRI development order from Resolution 81-843 (adopted April 23,1981). The boundary of the DTGC-DRI is depicted in Map J -1A and also located within the boundary of the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 Central Business District (CBD) sub -area. The Uland encompassing the DTGC-DRI is under the jurisdiction of Miami -Dade County. The land use and scale for the built and un -built development program of the DTGC-DRI are presented in Table 1. Table 1 and MapJ-1A also show a re -defined phase 11 encompassing of the 1,200,888-1500,000 square feet of un -built office space. This phase re -definition is primarily intended to make the under utilized P-2 and P-4 open space more attractive to pedestrians. The DTGC-DRI re -defined phase II development program anticipates a build -out date of 2009 concurrent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment Il. 2. TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AREA - SPECIAL FEATURES AND STUDIES WHICH APPLY The following special designations, features and studies already exist within the study area for the DTGC-DRI: Special Features: A Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) was adopted by the City of Miami and covers the entire area of Downtown Miami. Downtown Development Authority Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Methodology Letter of Understanding Revised April 15, 2005 • A Special Transportation Area (STA) was adopted by the City of Miami and applies to the study area for the DRI. The STA specifies that up to 20% of the regional facilities or intersections within the DRI may operate below acceptable standards (below LOS Q. • The Transportation Corridors Capacity Methodology was adopted by the City of Miami as part of their Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. This methodology is documented in Transportation Corridors: Meeting the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami from the Transportation Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000, adopted February 1989 and revised in September 1990. • A specialized level of service (elevated LOS thresholds) was granted to roadways adjacent to transit facilities and was adopted by Miami -Dade County as part of their Comprehensive Development Master Plan. • The approved Downtown Miami DRI Increment II the boundary of which includes the DTGC- DRI. Special Studies: The long range Miami Downtown Transportation Master Plan (MDTMP) April 2003 final report developed multimodal circulation improvements through 2020 which will service future downtown traffic. This study covered the same geographic area as the Downtown Miami DRI Increment Il Update, but focused on specific long-range transportation network recommended modifications to improve circulation within the downtown area and improve connections between neighborhoods.

UNIQUE DRI TRANSPORTATION EVALUATION PROCESS FOR DTGC-DRI For consistency, the DTGC-DRI analysis and traffic data will be structured in a manner that will enable reliance upon the substantial database used and approved in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II Update. This methodology used the City of Miami's adopted Transportation Corridor framework to identify transportation corridor deficiencies, develop multi -modal corridor improvements, options and costs, and established an Increment 11 development mitigation fee to implement corridor improvements. Step 1. Establish Existing Corridor Conditiions Existing traffic conditions were established on the downtown study area roadways (see Map ,1-1 B) and on corridors providing access to downtown by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11, using the person -trip based corridor capacity methodology outlined in the Transportation Element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (dated September 1990). The existing traffic conditions analysis identified person -trip volumes and person -trip capacities within the downtown study area, established existing person -trip demands and identified whether or not person -trip deficiencies exist. The evaluation of existing traffic conditions covered the peak hour period only, defined as the average of the two highest consecutive hours of trip volume during a weekday. Existing traffic conditions were analyzed during the peak season. An adopted standard of LOS E applies to the Transportation Corridors, as measured by the person -trip methodology. An update of the study corridors included within the downtown study area (and the person trip based corridor capacity methodology) was performed to identify the types of multi-modal/transit services currently in operation for each regional roadway facility in the downtown study area. The person -trip capacities and volumes for the study area roadways were developed using the guidelines and standards described on the following pages.

Vehicle occupancy for the person -trip capacity calculations is based upon a comprehensive study performed for the City in 1989. The vehicle occupancy, factor of 1.6 persons per vehicle is approved for use as the practical capacity of a private passenger vehicle (see Rule 9J-5.007-8(3)) to determine the person -trip capacity of the vehicular traffic system as demonstrated in the City's corridor methodology and in the adopted City comprehensive plan. • The fixed rail transit capacity for each corridor was updated based upon the number of transit vehicles per hour and the person -trip capacity of each transit vehicle. Pursuant to Rule 9J-5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for a rapid rail transitvehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headways) shall not exceed 130% of the seated load. The rubbertire (bus) transit capacity for each corridorwas updated based upon the number of transit vehicles per hour and the person -trip capacity of each transit vehicle. Rubber tire transit capacity will include regularly scheduled transit service only subject to MDTA guidance or operation. Pursuant to Rule 9J-5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for a local bus transit vehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headways) shall not exceed 150% of the seated load. Pursuant to Rule 9J-5.007-8(3), the maximum person -load for an express bus transit vehicle (operating with a minimum of 20 minute headways) shall not exceed 125% of the seated load. Bicycle and pedestrian capacity will be incorporated into the corridor methodology for those roadways identified with deficient person -trip capacity (from the existing conditions analysis), which are significantly impacted by the project. Person -Trip Volumes The calculation of the person -trip volumes for each of the study corridors was updated by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II using the following general guidelines: Downtown Development Authority Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Methodology Letter of Understanding Revised April 15, 2005 • The peak hour period vehicular volumes were updated using counts obtained from Miami - Dade County and FDOT traffic count data. Additional traffic data was collected by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 applicant and the MDTMP on study corridors where count data was not available. Link volumes were collected consistent with FDOT standard practices and adjusted to peak season traffic conditions (for the peak'hour period) using seasonal adjustment factors provided by FDOT District 6. • Vehicle occupancy is based upon a comprehensive study performed for the City in 1989. The vehicle occupancy factor of 1.4 persons per vehicle is already approved for use to determine person trips from existing vehicular traffic as demonstrated in the City's corridor methodology and in the adopted City comprehensive plan. • ,The fixed rail transit ridership was updated using data from.MDTA. • The rubber tire bus transit ridership was updated using data from MDTA. Available Person -Trip Capacity The available person -trip capacity for each corridor consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II has been identified based upon the following: Person Trip Capacity — Person Trip Volume = Available Person Trip Capacity C A general level of service designation (as outlined in the Transportation Corridors Methodology) has been provided for each study corridor based upon the calculated available person trip capacity consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment Il. Step 2: Person -Trip Generation For DTGC-DRI In order to determine the extent to which the DTGC-DRI development program will impact the roadway corridors in the downtown study area, project significance will be established using the person -trip as the unit of measure. Person -trip generation will be developed for the DTGC-DRI consistent with the methodology forthe Downtown Miami DRI Increment ll. The DTGC-DRI person trips for the total development program will be assigned to the downtown study area corridors using the Downtown Miami DRI Increment I distribution percentages. Corridor significance will be evaluated based upon the 5% rule using person -trip impacts against person -trip capacity. Finally, a determination will be made to indicate whether or not the DTGC-DRI person -trips significantly impact a deficient corridor. Downtown Development Authority Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation /� Methodology Letter of Understanding Revised April 15, 2005 U -9- The DTGC-DRI development program consists of government office and it is served by an extensive mass transit system due to its close proximity to Metro -rail, Metro -mover and rubber tire bus routes_ The mixture of land uses surrounding the DTGC-DRI and the true urban downtown setting increases the opportunity for pedestrian trip modes. Project trip generation forthe DTGC-DRI will be based on the calculation of person trips within the boundaries of the DRI. The vehicle trips generated by the DTGC-DRI will be converted to person -trips using the following procedures consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment ll: • Determine the vehicular trip generation using ITE rates or formulas as used in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II for office land use and convert to person -trips using 1.4 persons per vehicle pursuant to City standards. • The DTGC-DRI is located within the Downtown Miami DRI Increment Il CBD sub -area; therefore, internalization as established in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II derived using modeling - within each TAZ and within and between areas— Omni, CBD, Brickell will be applied. • Person -trip allocations to rail and rubber.tire transit modes, pedestrian modes and bicycle modes as determined in the Downtown Miami DR! increment 11; CJ Calculate the person trips for the DTGC-DRI. Project Distribution And Assignment The project distribution assignment for the roadway network shall be consistent with the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II and will then layer the DTGC-DRI development project traffic over background plus committed development traffic. Step 3: Establish Future Traffic Conditions for Significantly Impacted Deficient Corridors The person -trip background traffic growth as forecasted by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment II shall be used for the DTGC-DRI build -out year of 2009. Modeling was utilized to forecast the vehicular growth traversing the study area, which was then converted to person -trips using the vehicle occupancy of 1.4 persons per vehicle. In addition to the person -trip impacts of committed development already incorporated to the background growth traffic by the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 (un -built Increment I minus the un -built DTGC-DRI and Southeast Overtown Park West), the development level of the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 will be incorporated as part of the background growth plus committed development traffic. The un -built DTGC-DRI person -trips Downtown Development Authority Downtown Government Center DRI Reactivation Methodology Letter of Understanding Revised April 15, 2005 -10- will then be incorporated to establish total future background person -trip conditions to determine the significantly impacted and deficient corridors. Intersections located within and/or at the ends of significantly impacted and deficient corridors will be analyzed using FDOT approved methods. Step 4: Identify Significangy Impacted Corridors Provide a listing of significantly impacted and deficient corridors resulting from the analysis. Step 5: Develop Implementable Mitigation Strategies for Significantly Impacted Deficient Corridors Pursuant to the person -trip based corridors methodology which accounts for the corridor's ability to move people by many transportation modes (via fixed rail transit, rubber tire transit, standard motorized vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians), mitigation will be developed which encourages greater efficiency and usage of underutilized components of the downtown Miami multi -modal transportation system. Multi -modal mobility options will be incorporated into proposed mitigation strategies. Mitigation costs will be established to develop a mitigation fee. The mitigation for the DTGC-DRI will likely focus specifically on the provision of corridor enhancements for the pedestrian to further encourage the use of fixed rail transit, rubber tire transit and increased pedestrian activity as the preferred travel modes into, out of and within the project area. implementation of this type of mitigation (or similar multi -modal improvements) shall follow the general guidelines outlined below: • The City/DDA shall identify those corridors, which would benefit from corridor enhancements for the pedestrian. • Each corridor must provide pedestrian connections that either link pedestrians to fixed rail transit stations or rubber tire transit stops or link pedestrians to residential and employment land uses - The City/DDA shall determine the estimated costs per linear foot for corridor enhancements for the pedestrian. Total corridor enhancement costs will be used to develop a DRI mitigation fee for the DTGC- DRI development program for the Downtown Miami DRI.
