Introduction
This Document
This is a 2009 update to the 2004
Amendment of the Community
Redevelopment Plan (referred to as
"Redevelopment Plan" or "Community
Redevelopment Plan") for the Southeast
Overtown / Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency (referred to as "CRA"
or "SEOPW CRA") was commissioned by the
governing bodies of the City of Miami ("City")
and Miami -Dade County ("County") to
provide an updated planning document for the
development of the Park West and Overtown
neighborhoods consistent with the
Community Redevelopment Act of 1969
("Act") for eliminating and preventing slum or
blight conditions by rehabilitation,
conservation or redevelopment, or a
combination thereof.
The approved 1982 Redevelopment Plan
has not been effective in the redevelopment
area, due to the lack of financing ability by the
CRA and private enterprises. The need to
update the 1982 Plan and provide a financing
strategy for the implementation of the CRA's
activities in the redevelopment area became
imminent as land throughout South Florida
became scarce and the last portions of
undeveloped land lie within the
redevelopment area boundaries. It is the
2 Goals and Guiding Principles
intent of this extensive amendment of the
1982 Redevelopment Plan to address ways in
which the CRA and the City can maximize
opportunities presented by current initiatives
and trends, and transform Southeast
Overtown / Park West into a thriving mixed-
use neighborhood and commercial hub in the
heart of downtown, as provided for by this
revised Community Redevelopment Plan. This
update reflects the expansion of the
boundaries of the redevelopment plan to
include the Southwest section and part of the
Northeast section of the Overtown
community.
Topics Frequently Asked
About From Neighborhood
Stakeholders
Every redevelopment area has certain
urgent concerns and problems that the
community wants addressed. While a number
of these issues can be resolved through local
government, some of these issues need to be
fixed by members of the community.
Adopting Redevelopment Plans and
creating Community Redevelopment Agencies
are not solutions in themselves, but only
vehicles to get to solutions. There needs to be
grass -root efforts to further stimulate interest
in, education of, and visions for the
revitalization of the redevelopment
neighborhoods. Overtown and Park West
stakeholders frequently ask questions about:
Making sure that housing stays affordable
for existing residents. Look in Section 2 Goal
#2, Housing Infill, Diversity, and Retaining
Affordability on page 2.2. Also the Guiding
Principles 2 and 3 starting on page 2.5 address
this matter.
Getting help for small businesses and
creating new jobs for current residents in
Overtown and Park West: Look in Section 4,
for program: #43, Design Assistance and
Award of Grants and Other Incentives to
Existing Businesses in Overtown on page 4.18
and also look for III. Grants to Existing
Businesses on page 4.22.
Historical Context
The Southeast Overtown / Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency's area
encompasses one of the oldest residential and
commercial areas of the City of Miami,
although few structures of historic or cultural
significance remain. Overtown and Park West
each have their own historical past, but for
practical reasons and proximity their futures
are linked together.
OVERTOWN
"Overtown" is one of the oldest
neighborhoods in Miami settled by African
Americans about the time that Miami was
founded in the 1890s. African Americans
were not allowed to live in the other
developing areas of Miami. Jobs available to
Overtown residents were mostly associated
with Henry Hagler's Florida East Coast (FEC)
Railroad Company, the burgeoning tourist
service industry, and agriculture. Like in many
southern American towns, the African
American community lived on the other side
of the railroad tracks from most white
families, and nearer to the citrus and pineapple
farms. The name Overtown came from
people referring that they were going "over
town" to this neighborhood. It was also
referred to in the past as Colored Town.
The area grew and developed into a
vibrant community. African Americans
became business owners and established a
viable economic community by constructing
schools, homes, churches, hotels, apartments,
theaters, night clubs and small neighborhood
markets.
In the 1920's and 1930's, N.W. 2nd
Avenue was called Avenue G. It was a center
for entertainment, retail stores, and hotels.
Dr. W.B. Sawyer built the first African
American hotel in the area in 1921.
The population continued to expand until
the early 1960's. Desegregation, urban renewal,
the Neighborhood Development Program and
construction of the SR -836/I-395 and I-95
expressways significantly changed the
character of the neighborhood. and tragically,
residents from Overtown were scattered and
relocated. Economic, physical and social
decay became pronounced and has
progressively contributed to the decline in the
area.
Various planning efforts have taken place
over the last few decades. For a list of these
planning studies, see Appendix A, Previous
Plan Studies.
PARK WEST
Most of the area currently referred to as
Park West was part of the original "Miami"
Subdivision that was platted in 1896 by the
principal developers of the early City of
Miami.: Mary and William Brickell, Julia
Tuttle, Henry Hagler, and the Fort Dallas
Land Company.
While the initial development of Park
West focused on residential projects, it soon
established a commercial character, housing
general commercial activities, in warehouses,
associated with its downtown location and
proximity to the Port of Miami when it was
formerly located at the site of present day
Bicentennial Park. The name Park West comes
from being "west" of the "park." Before
1964, this area was basically a warehouse and
wholesale district related to the old port.
When the port moved, so did the wholesale
businesses and storage facilities. Few of the
remaining businesses have any functional
relation to the port now located on Dodge
Island in Biscayne Bay. New warehouses and
container storage areas are provided on Dodge
Island and areas west of the Miami
International Airport.
21st Century Context
The Southeast Overtown / Park West
Redevelopment Area encompasses
approximately 279 acres of land generally
bounded by Biscayne Boulevard on the east;
I-95 on the west; I-395 on the north; and NW
51h Street on the south. This is the original
boundary area of the CRA. In 1986, the
boundary was amended to include the areas
bounded by NW 1st Street on the south
Metrorail right-of-way on the west; NW 51h
Street on the north; and N. Miami Avenue on
the east. In 2004, the Plan expands the
SEOPW CRA boundary to include adjacent
neighborhoods west of I-95 and east of NW
7th Avenue, between NW 111h Street and NW
Goals and Guiding Principles 3
71h and NW 51h Streets; and the NW 3rd
Avenue corridor north of I-395 up to NW
22nd Street. These new boundaries include
areas that have a direct effect on the original
Redevelopment Area and present excellent
redevelopment opportunities. It is an area of
hard edges— heavily traveled highways to the
west and north and the less imposing but still
disruptive boundary created by the
Metromover and Metrorail tracks to the east
and south. Moreover, the Florida East Coast
railroad tracks serve as a psychological and
physical barrier dividing the area into
Southeast Overtown to the west and Park
West to the east.
In preparation for this planning effort, an
evaluation of slum and blight conditions was
conducted in both the core and expanded
CRA areas. This evaluation indicates that slum
and blight conditions persist throughout,
providing further justification for expanding
the SEOPW CRA boundaries. Addressing and
improving these conditions is a key purpose of
this plan. A summary of the evaluation of
slum and blight conditions are included as an
appendix.
Despite its challenges, Southeast
Overtown / Park West is advantageously
situated between downtown Miami and the
Omni area, Firestation #2, Motion
Picture/Media ("Media") District, and the
4 Goals and Guiding Principles
Entertainment District, and enjoys excellent
transportation access to Miami Beach, Miami
International Airport, and the regional
transportation system. What happens in the
larger context will therefore shape and be
shaped by what happens in Southeast
Overtown / Park West.
Located directly north of Southeast
Overtown / Park West, the Omni Media and
Entertainment Districts are currently
undergoing a rapid transformation into a
regional epicenter of the cultural and
performing arts. Big Time Productions, Inc., a
studio/production company, moved its
headquarters from Miami Beach to the Omni
area creating a movie production hub along
NE 141h Street. Just east of Big Time
Productions studio buildings is the new
(Adrienne Arshtl Performing Arts Center,
targeted for completed in 2006. The center
includes a 2,200 -seat symphony hall, a 2,480 -
seat ballet / opera house, a 200 -seat black box
theater, and ancillary support and educational
services. The completion of this exciting
complex has served as a strong catalyst for
redevelopment, a phenomenon that has been
further enhanced by a concerted effort to
attract media, arts, and entertainment related
businesses and facilities to the neighborhood.
South of Overtown and Park West,
downtown Miami's central business district is
a flourishing center of international
businesses, finances, telecommunications,
government and trade. With over 131,000
workers, 4,000+ hotel rooms, and attractions
such as the Bayside Marketplace, the American
Airlines Arena, and the Miami -Dade Cultural
Center, downtown Miami is a dynamic
destination that has the potential to positively
impact adjacent neighborhoods such as
Southeast Overtown / Park West. Despite its
dynamism, downtown Miami was once lacking
the residential component that is necessary to
transform it into a true 24-hour city center.
With the latest development boom of 2003-
2007, several new residential and mixed use
development projects have been planned and
/or built along the eastern edge [Biscay
Boulevard] of the Park West section of the
redevelopment district. Most of these
developments are viewed as market rate and
luxury rate properties with limited
accommodation for the middle class or
working class citizen desiring an urban to
reside in. With its advantageous location and
untapped redevelopment potential, Southeast
Overtown / Park West presents perhaps the
best opportunity to develop a livable
downtown core.
The City of Miami is proactively planning
for the future of its neighborhoods, and there
are a number of current initiatives that will
have a direct impact on the Southeast
Overtown / Park West CRA Area. Such
planning efforts as the Baylink Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), The
Park West Entertainment District Promenade
Special Area Plan like the Miami World Center
, Biscayne Boulevard Special Area Plan,
Bicentennial Park Master Plan, Downtown
Transportation Master Plan, and Overtown
Greenprint Plan are integral to the
development and redevelopment of the area,
and coordination between these efforts is key.
Some of the more specific planning projects
include: the Flagler Marketplace development
in downtown Miami; redevelopment of the
Omni Mall into a retail and entertainment
complex; the new redeveloped Margaret Pace
Park in the Omni area; redevelopment of the
historic Lyric Theater as the cornerstone of
the planned Folklife Village in Southeast
Overtown; and the planned extension of the
9th Street Pedestrian Mall in Park West. This
Plan presents the best opportunity to integrate
these initiatives into a cohesive vision for the
area as a whole.
The Potential: A Livable City
Well -located at the confluence of the
Americas, Miami has emerged as the Western
Hemisphere's international trading center and
one of the world's most vibrant and dynamic
metropolises. Founded in 1896, Miami quickly
established itself as one of the nation's premier
tourist destinations with its world-renowned
climate and natural beauty. Tourism defined
the economy for much of the last century and
remains a major industry. Nonetheless, the last
thirty years have seen an unprecedented
diversification of Miami's economy, as its
strategic location, excellent transportation
linkages, and culturally diverse population
have led to its ascent as the "gateway to Latin
America" and one of the nation's true
international business centers. Greater Miami
today is a cosmopolitan metropolis of over
two million people, and a leading center of
finance, trade, tourism and
telecommunications.
Despite these advantages, Miami has
lacked one of the most important
characteristics of great world cities— a
walkable, mixed-use center that is a desirable
place to work, play and live. Bathed in
decorative/neon light, the downtown Miami
skyline beckons at night, which belies the fact
that its streets are virtually deserted. Few of
the approximately 131,000 people who work
in downtown actually live there— at business
day's close, they disperse to points north, east,
south and west of Miami. While in the recent
past, it is true that many would choose a
suburban location regardless, it is also true that
downtown Miami shortage of housing and
neighborhood services that would make it a
viable alternative for those who would
otherwise find it a desirable place to both live
and work.
In the past few decades, Miami has made
a concerted effort to take advantage of the
new economic realities of globalization and
the rise of information technology. Its location
provides a competitive advantage, as does a
relatively well-developed privately initiated and
funded technology infrastructure. While that
may not have been enough, recent studies
indicate that the businesses and workers of the
new economy seek out and thrive in mixed-
use environments that foster accessibility,
social interaction„ and the exchange of ideas.
This has resulted in a reversal of trends of the
1970's and 1980's, which saw economic
activity centers move from city centers to
suburban office parks and "edge cities" that
sprang up overnight. In contrast, the
economic activity centers of the new economy
are increasingly located in central city
neighborhoods like San Francisco's
Multimedia Gulch, the Digital Harbor in
Baltimore, and downtown San Jose.
With its strategic location and untapped
redevelopment potential, the Southeast
Overtown / Park West neighborhood presents
Goals and Guiding Principles 5
the best opportunity for the development of a
thriving, mixed-use economic and activity
center in Miami's downtown. This plan charts
a course to fully realizing Southeast Overtown
/ Park West's possibilities.
CRA History
The Southeast Overtown / Park West
CRA Redevelopment Plan was proposed by
the City of Miami, by Resolution 81-9201, in
1981. On December 7, 1982, Miami -Dade
County adopted resolution R1677-82
approving the plan in compliance with the
City's and County's Comprehensive Plans.
On July 29, 1982 the SE Overtown
Community Redevelopment Plan was officially
adopted pursuant to city resolution R82-755.
In March of 1983 the City executed the
Interlocal Agreement with Miami -Dade
County for Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
revenue to be deposited into the SEOPW
Trust Fund. In 1985 the Park West area was
added to the CRA with city resolution R85-
1247. During the summer of 2002, the
SEOPW CRA board expanded the boundaries
to include some of the areas of Overtown
west of Interstate 95 and areas surrounding
NW 3rd Avenue north of Interstate 395. This
Boundary Expansion was later adopted by the
City of Miami Commission on July 28, 2002,
6 Goals and Guiding Principles
pursuant to city ordinance 12247.
Projects performed over the years include
the extension of the Ninth Street Mall, the
creation of parking lots along NW 3rd Avenue
Business Corridor P.A. Dorsey Way) to
service the existing and future businesses
along the corridor, sidewalk, curb and gutter
improvements, the interim improvements to
the Park West Entertainment District
Promenade, Historic Overtown Priority
Corridor ; a designated corridor along NW 3rd
Avenue P.A. Dorsey Way) from 81h Street to
14th Street and along 81h Street from NW 3rd
Avenue to NW 41h Avenue. Funding was to
be used for facade improvements,
infrastructure improvements, and technical
and design assistance, and low interest loans,
and the surveying of parcels of abandoned
properties and vacant government-owned land
for re -use. In May of 2000, the City
Commission also allocated three million
dollars for improvements to revitalize the
Historic NW 3rd Avenue Business Corridor.
Revised Boundaries
Florida Statute 163.361, "Modification of
Community Redevelopment Plans," states that
the CRA may recommend a change in the
boundaries when it becomes necessary or
desirable to amend or modify the
redevelopment plan. During 2001 and 2002,
the SEOPW CRA evaluated the need to
extend the SEOPW CRA boundaries to
include more of Overtown. In June 2002, a
consultant planner prepared a report for the
CRA examining several different areas for
consideration to add to the existing
boundaries.
The SEOPW CRA Board carefully
deliberated over the various areas studied for
inclusion and then began the process that
resulted in selecting five of the eight areas to
add to the Legal Boundary Description.
Advantages to the enlarged boundary
include being able to use the SEOPW CRA's
resources to affect more of the disadvantaged
neighborhoods of Miami, and to improve the
appearance and usefulness of the expressways
that have caused so much damage and
fragmentation to the community environment.
Revisions from the Original
CRA Redevelopment Plan
The Southeast Orem" / Park 1Vest
Community Redevelopment Plan, Revised December
9982 (sometimes referred to as "the `82 Plan")
was prepared for two primary reasons:
1) To state the case for why a CRA was
needed; the City was required to find the
necessity of a community redevelopment
plan within a community area that had
slums and blighted areas, and an
immediate need for affordable housing.
2) To guide the SEOPW CRA within its
redevelopment area for community
redevelopment undertakings activities or
projects that include: eliminating slums
and blight, reducing crime, and
rehabilitation or conservation of existing
places or buildings.
This document is the extensive
amendment of the Southeast Overtown / Park
West Community Redevelopment Plan. This
document replaces the previous "82 Plan" and
is referred to as "Community Redevelopment
Plan" or "Redevelopment Plan" in this
document.
Revisions from the 1982 Plan:
• Chapter I, "Introduction," has been
significantly revised to identify the
purpose for the SEOPW CRA, its
potential, and to update the context with
the 20 years that have passed since the
original plan was prepared and adopted.
• Parts of Chapter II, "Setting," were
brought into Section 1, Introduction, of
the Community Redevelopment Plan.
For example, "Historic Evolution" was
re-edited into a heading called "Historical
Context."
• Chapter III, "Redevelopment Proposal,"
contained a description of the need for
redevelopment. The objectives stated in
Chapter III have been re-evaluated and
can be found in Section 2, "Goals and
Guiding Principles."
• Chapter IV, "Redevelopment Plan,"
contained projects and strategies. These
have been re-evaluated and some have
been restated in Sections 2 through 6.
These components are separated into
different Sections in the updated
Community Redevelopment Plan to
group them by similar topics so that they
can be more easily found in the
document.
• All maps and graphics from the 1982 Plan
have been replaced, including the
Boundary Map.
• The Land Use Plan, Zoning Plan, and
Traffic & Transportation Plan have been
completely overhauled.
• The Park West Conceptual
Redevelopment Plan and Acquisition
strategy, an overblown approach that was
not successful, has been abandoned for an
incremental approach.
Many of the programs performed by the
SEOPW CRA over the last few years are not
identified in the 1982 Plan. However, some of
the current programs are explained in a
document entitled, "City of Miami
Community Redevelopment Agency, Fiscal
Year 2000 and 5 -year Plan 2000-2004,
Budgeted Projects and Programs" dated
September 1999. All of the current programs
identified in the 1999 document are included
in this Community Redevelopment Plan, in
Section 3, Projects and Programs.
Findings of Necessity
The State of Florida Community
Redevelopment Act of 1969 requires that all
Community Redevelopment Plans state their
findings of necessity for the Community
Redevelopment Agency. Necessity is
evaluated by the amount of blight and vacancy
found within the SEOPW CRA area.
In 1969, the Board of County
Commissioners of Miami -Dade County
approved by Resolution 1117-69 the Central
Miami Renewal Plan. This plan included the
area south of NW Twentieth Street; west of
the FEC Railroad, with an extension to N.E.
Goals and Guiding Principles 7
Second Avenue; east of I-95; and north of the
Miami River. It was amended on January 20,
1981, to include the areas bounded on the
west and south by the FEC tracks; on the east
by Biscayne Boulevard; and on the north by I-
395. In addition, the area bounded on the
south by I-395; on the east by Biscayne
Boulevard; on the north by NW Seventeenth.
Street in part, and the City of Miami Cemetery
in part; and on the west by the FEC tracks.
At those public hearings, evidence was
presented to find this area meeting the
definition of "slum and blight".
Only a portion of this area was included
in the Original SEOPW CRA boundary. Most
of the conditions described in the 1982 CRA
Plan still exist today. For both SE Overtown
and Park West, the plan describes a decline in
population, marginal retail facilities, and an
excessive amount of vacant and unproductive
land. The majority of multifamily buildings,
single family houses, and duplexes are in a
declining condition. The majority of retail
buildings are vacant, making the vacancy rate
of commercial uses greater than fifty percent.
The areas that are newly included with the
boundary change have all the same conditions
as the original SEOPW CRA area. The
underside of the highways and "pockets" of
land between the SEOPW CRA area and the
Omni CRA area were included because of
8 Goals and Guiding Principles
their blighted and vacant condition.
The included area west of I-95 and east of
NW 51h Avenue is more than 50 percent
vacant. Eighty percent of the structures were
built before 1960 and are suffering from a lack
of maintenance. The area west of NW nth
Avenue and east of NW 7th Avenue is almost
60 percent vacant, with a haphazard clumsy
configuration of industrial, commercial, and
residential uses.
The area north of I-395 surrounding NW
3rd Avenue has a large area owned by public
agencies. These properties have buildings that
look outdated and unfortunately give the
impression of a crime -ridden neighborhood
with tall fences, bars, and bunker -style
architecture. The privately owned storefront
buildings, apartment buildings, and houses
need repair and painting.
Employment data for the whole CRA area
indicates the majority of current residents have
low, unskilled paying jobs. This area of the
City and County also has the highest
concentration of homeless individuals.
The February 2009 Finding of Necessity
report seeks to document more evidence of
slum and blight conditions throughout the
entire neighborhood immediately west of
interstate I-95 to NW 71h Avenue and north of
I-395 to NW 22th Street along NW 1st Place
in support of the inclusion of these areas
within the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Area. The
Finding of Necessity is an assessment of an
area, supported by data and anal; that
provides evidence of slum and blight as
defined in Section 163.355, Florida Statutes.
The Finding of Necessity report is used as a
planning resource by government entities to
identify areas of need within their jurisdiction
that may impose an onerous burden to the
entity. decrease the tax base; reduce tax

Guiding Principles
All actions affecting the CRA area by a
government entity, agency, service provider, or
private property owner are to be judged
according to the Guiding Principles and the
Hypothetical Build -out Plan described in
Section 3. If any new projects or efforts are
being proposed that are not identified in
Section 4, then their relevance should be
judged by the Goals and these Principles.
Principle 1:
The community as a whole has to be
livable. Land uses and
transportation systems must be
coordinated with each other.
The most important combination to make
a community livable is to have land uses and
transportation systems working together in
concert. Ideally, a successful neighborhood
will offer the opportunity to reside, work, and
carry out the other activities of daily life
(shopping, recreation, entertainment, religious
and cultural events, education, etc) all within
an area of comfortable walking distance. To
provide this opportunity, a thoughtful mix of
residential, employment, commercial and
community -serving uses should be promoted
by the City and CRA in a densely developed
4 Goals and Guiding Principles
and well-designed urban fabric.
Neighborhood -serving commercial uses such
as pharmacies, grocery stores, bank branches,
dry cleaners, restaurants, day care facilities, and
entertainment establishments (i.e. bowling
alleys, cinemas, video stores) should be
incorporated into the neighborhood fabric to
serve the population and reduce automobile
dependency. Also, civic buildings and
community -serving uses such as schools,
libraries, police stations, fire stations, and
parks should be provided and located in such
a manner as to create community focal points
and strengthen neighborhood identity. Great
cities are built up from groups of such
neighborhoods.
Transportation modes have to be
balanced and varied too, so that one can
choose to walk, drive, take a taxi, or ride a
bike, a bus, community transit, the Metrorail
or Metromover.
Overtown and Park West can be thought
of as a group of neighborhoods. In order to
reposition Southeast Overtown / Park West as
a livable area, a mixture of housing types,
service establishments, and employment
centers must be provided within each of these
neighborhoods.
Though no two neighborhoods are
exactly alike, neighborhoods are traditionally
about one-quarter mile from center to edge,
for several reasons. This is thought by scholars
to be a dimension within which residents can
come to know many of their neighbors well,
and form a detailed "mental map" of their
daily territory. This helps explain why the ten-
minute walk diameter can be observed in
historical settlements from many time periods,
and in cultures all around the world.
Perhaps more importantly today, most
people are willing to walk— provided they are
presented with a pedestrian -friendly, safe
environment— for approximately ten minutes
before choosing another mode of
transportation. To reduce unnecessary car
trips and dependence on the automobile, the
most livable neighborhoods in modern cities
include an array of residential, business, retail,
and neighborhood -serving uses within that
ten-minute area. While today's technology
offers multiple means of transportation,
"walkability" remains a key component of the
vibrant and healthy neighborhood and an
important determinant of neighborhood
boundaries.
Superimposing a ten-minute walking
diameter on Southeast Overtown / Park West,
and a review of historic development patterns,
reveals that the area is actually comprised of
five distinct neighborhoods: Park West,
Southeast Overtown, North Overtown, West
Overtown, and The Government District.
Determining how to improve infrastructure,
services and the provision of uses in each of
these smaller neighborhoods is the most
effective strategy for improving the area as a
whole. The vision of this Redevelopment Plan
is therefore to improve the Redevelopment
Area by transforming it into a group of healthy
mixed-use neighborhoods, and connecting
those neighborhoods with variety of modes of
transportation.
Principle 2:
The neighborhood has to retain
access to affordable housing even as
the neighborhood becomes more
desirable to households with greater
means.
Based on comments and discussions
made at various community meetings in
Overtown and Park West, it is quite clear that
there is general consensus among existing
residents, former residents, CRA and City
staff, and elected officials that Overtown has
to retain affordable housing, and that housing
and job opportunities must be first made
available to existing and former residents of
Overtown as the highest of priorities.
The SEOPW CRA's Housing Policy is
stated in this Redevelopment Plan and can be
found in Section 6.
Principle 3:
There must be variety in housing
options.
The housing stock in Downtown Miami
and the neighborhoods of Southeast
Overtown / Park West is extremely limited.
The existing inventory consists mostly of
lower-priced and substandard houses and
apartments. This lack of residential alternatives
inhibits efforts to foster a 24-hour downtown
and limits options for those who would
otherwise choose to reside in a center city
location.
A mix of market rate and affordable
housing units and types, including rental units,
ownership units, multi -family units, single-
family units, and accessory apartments, is
necessary to accommodate the diversity and
lifestyles of existing and future residents.
The Overtown and Park West of the
future will take advantage of their urban
character and infrastructure and provide an
attractive array of residential choices for
current and new residents. The
neighborhoods have to ensure the integration
of different economic sectors to stimulate a
positive shaping of the urban space.
Principle 4:
There must be variety in job options.
Employment centers should be located
within the neighborhoods to accommodate
those who wish to live in proximity to their
work and reduce dependence on the
automobile and long commutes. As with
access to affordable housing, there appears to
be general consensus in the community that
job opportunities be made available to existing
residents of Overtown has a high priority.
Principle 5:
Walking within the neighborhood
must be accessible, safe, and
pleasant.
Streets have many responsibilities. They
act as a system for movement, providing
mobility and ways to move around the City.
Even more importantly, their right-of-way
serves as the "front door" to private
properties. The character and design of the
street, and thus the resulting "curb appeal,"
have a direct correlation to the type and
quality of development projects, real estate
values, and economic potential.
Providing a range of choices for moving
safely and comfortably throughout the
Goals and Guiding Principles 5
neighborhood is an integral function of the
city street network. Neighborhood streets
should therefore be designed to accommodate
a number of transportation choices, including
walking, bicycles, mopeds, automobiles, and
mass transit. The provision of a continuous,
two-way street grid in Southeast Overtown /
Park West will increase accessibility and
reduce congestion, while the provision of wide
shaded sidewalks, walkable block sizes, on -
street parking, bicycle paths, and transit
services increases the range of choices for
moving to, from, and within the area.
Creating pedestrian -friendly streets encourages
the development of street -level businesses and
natural surveillance.
Principle 6:
Local cultural events, institutions,
and businesses are to be promoted.
In order for Southeast Overtown / Park
West to achieve its full potential, it is necessary
to address and improve the neighborhood
economy and expand the economic
opportunities of present and future residents
and businesses. This entails both the support
and enhancement of existing businesses and
local entrepreneurs and the attraction of new
businesses that provide needed services and
economic opportunities. New economy
6 Goals and Guiding Principles
business centers are characterized by
concentrations of competing but
complementary firms that are driven by the
advantages of co -location. The redevelopment
effort should actively identify opportunities
for Southeast Overtown / Park West to
capitalize on this trend.
Principle 7:
The City and County must provide
access to small parks and green
spaces of an urban character.
Access to public parks and green spaces is
a key element of quality of life in urban
neighborhoods, as natural environments
provide essential respite in an urban
environment. It is therefore vital that a series
of green spaces and parks, preferably linked by
greenways, be developed within each
neighborhood and that existing green spaces
and parks be enhanced to provide a genuine
amenity to the quality of life for existing and
future residents. These green spaces, parks,
and greenways will be an important element in
developing and maintaining community
aesthetics and identity, providing recreational
and social opportunities for residents and
visitors, and attracting new residents and
businesses.
Principle 8:
Older buildings that embody the
area's cultural past should be
restored.
These older buildings are physical
reminders of the community's heritage and
enhance the experience of the place, giving it a
richness that cannot easily be obtained once
the buildings are lost. Unfortunately far too
many of the historic buildings identified in the
1982 plan have been demolished despite the
efforts of the Black Archives Foundation and
other local initiatives.
One of the projects identified for the
CRA in this Community Redevelopment Plan
focuses on Historic Preservation. See Section
3, Projects and Programs for more
information.
Principle 9:
New and rehabilitated buildings
must respond to our climate and
reflect the community's cultural
heritage.
Established neighborhoods are
distinguished by architecture that is indicative
of their history, climate, and function.
Successful redevelopment efforts capitalize on
these elements rather than imposing
development that is disconnected from what
has come before. South Beach provides an
excellent example of this concept in action; its
redevelopment was predicated on its rich
architectural heritage and history, and as a
result has been wildly successful. The five
neighborhoods that comprise Southeast
Overtown / Park West boast unique features
and architecture that reflects their history and
function. For example, Park West's
architecture still reflects its former function as
a warehouse district for the Port of Miami,
while the story of Overtown's heyday as a
thriving center for black -owned businesses
and culture is told in its remaining buildings of
note. The redevelopment of these
neighborhoods should occur within the
context of these histories and new
development should both acknowledge the
past traditions and further their future.
Whenever possible, buildings of architectural
merit should be adapted to new needs and
creatively reused.
Principle 10:
Streets and buildings must be
attractive.
Neighborhoods are defined by their public
realm, the spaces between buildings. The
streets, sidewalks, parks, greenways, and civic
uses bring the community together and link it
to the outside world. A vibrant and engaging
public realm serves as the neighborhood's
canvas and lifeblood, a means for inspiring
and captivating residents and visitors.
Sound urban design, attractive buildings,
and streetscapes are key to having streets that
are both functional and visually attractive.
Looks are important to current residents who
will feel community pride when receiving
pleasant comments about where they live.
Looks are important to attracting investors to
make other improvements to the
neighborhood.
To have attractive, pedestrian -friendly
urban streets, buildings must be set close
together, and building heights and road widths
must be compatible. Building walls with their
windows and doors, that open to the street,
should come together to form a continuous
facade.
Maintenance of public streets and spaces
has to occur to show that the community is
cared for. Private property owners have to do
their part too, painting buildings when they
start to peel or fade badly, and clean up yards
or vacant properties if garbage collects there.
If the owners are not inspired to make
improvements or repairs when the need
becomes visually obvious, then it is Code
Enforcement's job to deliver a citation to
them.
Principle 11:
Twenty-four hour environments are
to be encouraged.
A common feature of prosperous
metropolitan cores is a "24-hour
environment": a broad and diverse offering of
cultural, entertainment, and recreational
options that attract and engage residents and
visitors on weekends and after the workday
ends. This environment encourages social
interaction and is a catalyst for economic
vitality and attracting businesses and residents.
Southeast Overtown and Park West provide
an excellent opportunity to create the 24-hour
environment that downtown Miami lacks.
Principle 12:
Identifiable neighborhood centers
are to be established in a distributed
pattern within Overtown and Park
West.
Cohesive neighborhoods have strong
centers, identifiable from their concentration
of higher density residential, commercial, and
civic uses, and/or a signature public open
space such as a park, square or plaza. The
Goals and Guiding Principles 7
neighborhood center helps ensure the
provision of diversity of uses within a walkable
area and is essential to the establishment of
neighborhood identity. Neighborhood centers
should be developed in each of the five
neighborhoods that comprise Southeast
Overtown / Park West.
Principle 13:
The zoning and other development
regulations must be reworked to
yield the results envisioned in this
Community Redevelopment Plan.
Both the SEOPW CRA and the City of
Miami Planning and Zoning Department agree
that the zoning requirements within the CRA
boundaries must be improved to better
promote redevelopment of the desired type.
Revising the development regulations is
identified as a project in Section 4, "Projects
and Programs."
Principle 14:
Restore a sense of community and
unify the area culturally.
The SEOPW CRA needs to do what ever
is in its power to bring back the vitality that
once gave Overtown its character, sense of
place, and cultural distinctiveness.

Hypothetical Build -out Plan
Land Uses & Residential Units
As described throughout this plan, the
intent is to mix land uses within the CRA area
as much as possible. The exceptions will be
where there are large areas of government
offices and facilities or where there are
concentrations of single-family detached
houses.
A wide range of residential types is sought
with this plan. Measures are to be put in place
to retain affordability yet encourage market
rate housing to return to the area.

Hypothetical Build -out Plan
The Hypothetical Build -out Plan portrays
one possible built -out future for SE Overtown
and Park West in a very advanced state of
redevelopment and infill development. It is
useful to show possible configurations for
public and private building placement, streets
and access ways, parking areas, and public
spaces and street patterns.
Think of the Hypothetical Build -out Plan
as a series of layered ideas that have all been
"flattened" into one drawing. These layers
include:
• Publicly -Owned Land, available for public
improvements
• Open Spaces: parks, plazas, and green
spaces, and greenways
• Transportation System
o Street Network
o Traffic Patterns
o Rail and Transit Routes
• Parking Policy
• Land Development Regulations
• Physical Plan, showing physical conditions
of public and private buildings, parking
locations, sidewalks, and yards
Each of these layers is described in further
detail in the pages that follow in this section.
4 Hypothetical Build -out Plan
Publicly -Owned Land
Each of the properties shown on the map
to the left is land that is owned by the CRA,
City of Miami, County or State agencies that
are suitable for public improvements or
public-private redevelopment initiatives.
This map shows a "snapshot" of the
current ownership and should not be viewed
as an end result in itself. (To obtain a copy of
the most updated property ownership map,
contact the City of Miami Planning
Department). Additional properties may need
to be purchased and some currently owned
may need to be sold to reach the goals of this
redevelopment plan.
Properties that would be ideal for the
CRA to purchase are purposefully not
identified in the plan, to avoid costly problems
in time and money associated with land
speculation; these problems have already
hindered the CRA's performance over the past
twenty years.
Required CRA Actions:
• Continue to evaluate and negotiate future
land purchases to meet the goals of the
Redevelopment Plan.
• Evaluate and advertise public-private
development opportunities, utilizing the
land owned by the CRA that will further
the goals of the Redevelopment Plan.
• Coordinate with other private and public
entities for the development of surplus
real property within the CRA that will
further the goals of the Redevelopment
Plan.

Hypothetical Build -out Plan 5
Open Spaces: parks, plazas, and
green spaces, and greenways
Urban dwellers do not have the luxury of
large amounts of private open space in their
rear gardens and back yards. Instead, urban
living highlights the enjoyment of pedestrian -
friendly streets and public spaces (parks,
squares, greens, greenways, and plazas).
Creating and maintaining high-quality public
spaces is necessary for the CRA area to
achieve its potential. Of the five
neighborhoods that have been identified, only
Overtown, west of the Interstate, has adequate
open space. The acquisition of land to create
these public spaces and the necessary
construction and maintenance is possible
through a variety of means.
Required CRA Actions:
1) Acquire more land for publicly accessible
green space for active and passive
recreational use.
2) Coordinate with the City of Miami
(Planning & Zoning) to improve public
safety with natural surveillance; requiring
that neighboring buildings front all public
spaces with doors and windows.
3) Coordinate with the City of Miami (Parks
Department) on the installation and
maintenance of public spaces.
6 Hypothetical Build -out Plan
4) Require development projects within the
area to maintain green spaces within
project scope.
Ways to acquire more land:
1. Land Swaps
The City and CRA can directly exchange
properties with property owners. For
example, if property that is in a good location
for a park is privately owned, and the CRA
owns land that is a suitable development site,
then the CRA could swap land with the
private property owner. The community gets
a park where it makes sense and the original
owner gets a good development opportunity.
2. Revolving fund for public lands
The County, City, and CRA can create a
revolving fund for public lands. For example,
suppose the CRA needed to consolidate
several properties to make an adequately large
green space. It already owns or recently
purchased a few of the parcels, but one or two
remaining owners hold out and refuse to sell.
To avoid the need to use eminent domain, the
CRA could give up and decide to sell the land
recently purchased. The revenue from the sale
could be put into a fund, and used later in
another location for the purpose of acquiring
land for green space. This may require
specific transaction controls.
3. Purchase the land outright.
The CRA board can, as it has in the past,
purchase the land outright for a fair market
value. Assistance can be sought from the
County, City, State, and the Trust for Public
Land to expedite the purchase of land.
Matching grants can be pursued.
4. Land Pooling
Land Pooling is the consolidation of small
landholdings for their unified planning,
servicing, subdivision and redistribution. This
method for land assemblage provide many
opportunities including the shared cost and
returns of land subdivision between the
landowners in an equitable way at no cost to
the CRA and the orderly design of the
subdivision layout for the planned urban land
use. This process would counter excessive
land speculation and ensure an adequate
supply of land for development purpose.
5. Ask for donations.
The CRA can ask property owners to
donate their land for public use. The old
expression still holds true, "It doesn't hurt to
ask."
Proper maintenance of public spaces
New public spaces are best maintained
through taxing districts applied to the
neighborhood and adjacent properties. These
plazas and green spaces will be relatively small
in comparison to other City of Miami parks.
Maintenance, including grass, tree, and shrub
planting, landscape mowing and clipping,
emptying of garbage cans, litter cleanup, and
pressure cleaning paved surfaces should be
provided by the City of Miami.. These
services can also be provided by locally owned
businesses through an incentive program.
Recreational facilities and functions should
also be provided as part of City or County
programs.
The CRA can also coordinate with local
churches, civic groups, or organizations that
are willing to donate the time and resources to
maintain public spaces.
Successful Small Urban Parks & Squares:
The list below describes the qualities that
make small parks and squares safe and useable:
1) Design matters more than acreage or uses
or luxury.
2) Natural surveillance is essential.
3) Enliven the place with regular activity.
4) Shape the public space with carefully placed
trees and buildings surrounding its edges.
5) Open and frame the views into and from
within the space.
6) Pedestrian access is all-important.
7) Calm the traffic, beautifully.
8) Provide shade.
9) Provide flexible open space for diverse
functions; don't excessively fill up the park
with equipment.
10) Reserve places for symbols of civic pride
and uniqueness.
11) Plan for sustained care and maintenance.
Hypothetical Build -out Plan 7
Transportation System: Mobility and
Access
Successful urban environments are
supported by a rich set of mobility choices, the
freedom to move about comfortably, whether
on foot, bicycle, via transit or automobile. In
contrast, areas designed primarily around the
automobile do not provide the level of
mobility and access necessary to create vibrant
places with an active street life.
Part of the challenge of redeveloping Park
West and Overtown is poor mobility and
access. Mobility is the ability to travel over
distances. Access is the ability to get to a
destination—to actually get to the door. This
condition has been created through a
combination of barriers such as the Interstate
Highways and the elevated Metrorail, and
further compounded by the system of one-
way streets. The one-way streets discourage
motorists from comfortably circulating within
the area. These streets also create "straight-
aways" that encourage motorists to speed and
make it unsafe for pedestrians to cross streets.
Although rail cargo and the elevated
transit facilities of Metrorail and the
MetroMover, are seen as positive features in
the neighborhood, there are some specific
negative effects that these have on adjacent
properties and streets. The physical plan
8 Hypothetical Build -out Plan
attempts to suggest ways to diminish these
negative effects and maximize the positive
ones through the location of buildings and
public spaces.
Required CRA Actions:
Restoring the urban fabric and mitigating
some of the negative impacts of previous
transportation improvements are possible
through a set of changes carried out in
concert. These include:
• Advocate, fund, and/or facilitate the re-
establishment of the traditional urban
network of streets and restoration of
missing links in the street grid.
• Advocate, fund, and/or build pedestrian -
friendly street improvements.
• Promote the return of two-way streets.
• Advocate, facilitate, and construct on -
street parking.
• Assist with solutions to any noise, access,
and privacy problems associated with
properties along the rail and transit routes.
• Develop pedestrian compatible
community transit system to link all
Southeast Overtown, Park West, and near
by CBD and Omni destinations. (as
described in the Miami at Midnight
report)
• Explore the possibility of a pedestrian
zone adjacent to the Overtown Metrorail
Station to enhance intermodal transfers.
(as described in the Miami at Midnight
report)
Re-establishing the traditional urban
network of streets
Throughout the Redevelopment Area, the
traditional urban block structure has been
altered. In several locations, streets have been
eliminated, and the network compromised.
This has created super -blocks, some of which
are 1,100 feet long or even longer. These
blocks are of an unusually large size and do
not fit with the established grain and size of
the original street system and blocks, making
navigation needlessly difficult. Super -blocks
limit both vehicular and pedestrian access,
causing unnecessary wastes of time and fuel
for motorists and longer distances to travel for
pedestrians.
Newly created or connected streets should
generally...
• ...be designed as two-way streets with on -
street parking;
• ...be of a similar right-of-way width to the
segments of existing streets with which
connections are being re-established; and,
• ...provide pedestrian -friendly street
improvements described under the next
heading in this section.
There are some locations within the CRA
boundary where streets are fenced off or
blocked by highways, rail lines, and the
Metrorail. If for some reason vehicular access
cannot be achieved in these locations, then
every effort needs to be made to at least open
them up for safe pedestrian access.
In contrast to the large super -blocks, there
are several locations where existing blocks are
extremely small. On a very limited basis it
may be advisable to close some of the
intermediate streets to form blocks of a size
more conducive to infill development. This
should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis
and not adopted as an overall policy. The
merits of enlarging a block include:
• Selling the rights-of-way and using the
proceeds toward the purchase of public
green space or for rights-of-way needed
elsewhere.
• Increasing the legibility of the
major streets.
• Directing and organizing routes of travel
without diminishing the primary street
system.
• Providing a larger development site for
contemporary buildings that may need
more room for midblock parking.

grid should be opened.

Pedestrian Friendly Street Improvements
In an urban setting, street level businesses
need a comfortable pedestrian environment, as
they are reliant on a walk-in customer base.
Strategies to make streets pedestrian
friendly include:
• Create a two-way street system. Two-way
streets have calmer traffic than one-way
streets; drivers slow down and drive more
cautiously when adjacent to oncoming
traffic.
• Provide on -street parking. The parking
will create a safety buffer between
pedestrians on the sidewalk and moving
vehicles, and will assist ground level retail,
restaurants, and businesses.
• Create narrow travel lanes. Narrow travel
lanes will discourage speeding, and will
conserve the much-needed space for on -
street parking and wider sidewalks.
• Maintain and create small curb radii. This
will require motorists to slow down when
turning at intersections.
• At neighborhood centers and intermodal
pedestrian zones, provide a rough road
surface (bricks or cobble stones, etc) that
discourage speeds beyond 20 mph)
Creating continuity on the streets is also a
top priority. Sidewalks should be designed to
encourage ground level businesses and
12 Hypothetical Build -out Plan
pedestrian activity from block to block. In
particular:
• Create wide sidewalks, allowing
pedestrians to walk side-by-side as well as
pass each other. Wide sidewalks will also
allow outdoor dining to be part of the
street scene.
• Shade the pedestrians' paths. This is an
absolute necessity in the South Florida
climate. While shade trees should be
installed wherever practical, in general
shade trees are not as effective in
providing shade as projecting elements on
buildings such as awnings and colonnades.
Therefore these features should be
facilitated by zoning and mandated as part
of CRA -funded projects.
• Minimize crosswalk distance to limit the
amount of time when pedestrians are
walking in the travel lanes.
Promoting the Return of Two -Way Streets
The existing street system within the CRA
boundary contains a multitude of one-way
streets. These are unfavorable to the future
success of the area for several reasons. One-
way streets increase the speed of traffic,
thereby reducing pedestrian activity. Retail has
great difficulty thriving on one-way streets—
not only is their drive-by volume cut in half,
but each street is traversed primarily by either
the morning or the evening commuters, and
therefore, hours of high visibility are limited.
Creating a two-way street system will alleviate
these problems and also help to orient those
traveling within the street system. Conversion
to two-way streets must be treated as a
priority.
All three scenarios in the Downtown
Transportation Master Plan include improving
the streets into a two-way street system. The
Downtown Transportation Master Plan's
study area is east of Interstate 95. Areas of
Overtown west of I-95 are currently set up as
one-way streets. To extend and complete the
system of two-way streets, the following
streets should be converted as well: 10th Street,
11thStreet, 5th Street, and 6th Street between I-
95 and NW 7th Avenue. 5th and 6th Streets
east of I-95 should remain one-way to
accommodate Port of Miami related traffic
only if the FDOT improvements take place.
Rail and Transit Routes
Rail:
The FEC rail line that runs along NW 1st
Avenue carries cargo to the Port of Miami.
This serves a useful purpose, but the tracks
themselves form a barrier down the middle of
Overtown. Fortunately for the neighborhood,
the train moves slowly though this area
because it is nearing the end of the line at the
port.
To diminish the physical separation
between Overtown and Park West, more
crossings are needed at 91h, 101h, and 12th
Streets. Preferably these crossings will be for
both pedestrians and vehicles; however
priority should be given to pedestrian
crossings.
Transit Routes
In November 2002, the People's
Transportation Plan was approved by the
voters of Miami -Dade County. The new
transportation Plan will add numerous rapid
transit corridors to the existing Metrorail
system, which currently serves only a limited
area, linking the remainder of the greater
metropolitan region. For reference, this plan
is included in this document.
Having the convenience of Metrorail in
Overtown is advantageous for the residents;
however, the physical structure of the elevated
rail has a negative impact on the
neighborhood with problems that include:
• The elevated tracks further break up the
neighborhood into little pieces by
separating neighbors and commercial
streets.
• The space underneath the rail lines is
generally unlit and unsupervised, making
it unsafe, especially at night
• The noise from the trains makes the
adjacent properties less desirable as places
to live.
• Although the appearance isn't unsightly, it
isn't beautiful either.
Miami -Dade County Government and the
City of Miami have been studying the location
for a new Metrorail route in the East/West
direction, linking the Miami International
Airport to the Port of Miami. Many of the
possible paths for the link between
Government Center and the Port pass
through Park West, but underground. An
underground Metrorail will be an
improvement compared to the elevated tracks.
The route once preferred by the County
and City planning departments may have been
ruined. The preferred route passes under the
federal building that is currently under
construction on NW 1st Avenue. The Board
of Miami -Dade County Commissioners
decided not to pay for the special foundation
that was required to accommodate the subway
train, so instead the building has a foundation
that cannot accommodate a future subway
underneath it.
In light of that problem, and since Park
West is well served by transit already, the best
subway routes for Park West may be those
that spare the inhabitants of Park West the
inconvenience of building a new line. The
subway does not have to go through Park
West. It could travel east on NW 2nd or 3rd
Streets and tum to the port under Bayfront
Park or under Biscayne Bay.
Another suggestion comes from the
Miami at Midnight report. Just as Metrorail
will be connected to the Miami International
Airport (MIA) with the ongoing development
of the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), The
Port of Miami could be connected to
Metrorail with the creation of the "Overtown-
Park West Community Intermodal System."
As described in the report, these intermodal
improvements would be structurally very
different than the MIC, but would serve the
same intermodal purposes. It is basically
calling for passenger and freight intermodal
access improvements to integrate all modes of
intercity and local transportation as well as
connections with the private automobile in the
context of the existing historic Overtown and
Park West communities. The community
intermodal system will consist of both hub -to -
corridor connections as well as other linkages
in order to complete the interregional trips
within the regional economic asset "the
Hypothetical Build -out Plan 13
Key Ideas in the Miami at Midnight
Report
This report explores the opportunities and
options for narrow gauge rail transportation
modality and shared parking strategies to link
the proposed Promenade improvements to the
Bicentennial Park, the Miami Beach Baylink
project and other destinations within the
redevelopment area. It includes a description
of the strategies to create a pedestrian -oriented
intermodal access plan and a case for using
cost efficient narrow gauge rail and small
community transit vehicles for short distance
intermodal movements of passenger and
goods. The report includes a description and
recommended locations for shared parking
structures and mixed-use buildings that are
placed on their perimeter (liner buildings) and
concludes with a description of the
opportunities to secure federal and state
funding, a scale of magnitude cost estimate
and recommended actions to be undertaken.
The value to the SEOPW CRA in the
Miami at Midnight report is that it describes a
unique mechanism to meet many of the
redevelopment objectives with a real funding
source.
Key ideas from the report include:
1) Vehicle
The rail vehicles are intended to be small,
seven feet wide, and nine feet tall. The
14 Hypothetical Build -out Plan
floor height should be 5 inches from the
street grade making it easy to get in and
out. Some cars can be open air and some
air-conditioned. Seating can be
positioned to accommodate bicycles, baby
carriages, wheelchairs, luggage, grocery
shopping bags and other goods typical for
pedestrian, bicycle or automotive
transport.
2) Narrow gage rail
Since narrow gage rail is designed for
shorter slower trips, the costs of
installation and maintenance are lower.
3) Pedestrian Intermodal Access
Traffic calming and pedestrian amenities
will need to be provided along the streets
and mixed mode corridors where the
transit routes will occur.
4) Freight Intermodal Access
The report assumes that 51h and 61h streets
become the primary truck route for the
Port. Recently the MPO has rejected that
plan due to opposition from the
Overtown community and Miami -Dade
Community College. This portion of the
report therefore may no longer be valid;
however, continue community discussions
should it be undertaken to find a
beneficial design that provides port access
but minimizes truck traffic adverse to the
community.
5) Liner buildings and Parking Structures
The transit system is not just tracks and
vehicles, but also parking garages. The
slower speed community transit and
narrow gauge rail vehicles also serve as
shuttles from parking to the various
attractions and transportation services in
this intermodal system. To make the
garages meet the objectives of a
pedestrian -oriented downtown neighbor-
hood, the garages must be lined with
useable habitable space that is accessible
from the street for commercial and
residential uses.
6) Community Intermodal System
The various components of the
redevelopment plan will function as
elements of a community based
intermodal system (e.g., passenger and
freight intermodal facilities and
connectors). While the redevelopment of
the existing MetroRail and MetroMover
station sites into a series of connected
liner buildings and parking structures
(with properly designed interior and
the transit station floors twenty to thirty
feet above grade) can obviously be
proposed as an intermodal transportation
project that would qualify for
transportation trust funds, to a greater or
lesser degree, every improvement within
the redevelopment areas should be look
upon as an opportunity to improve the
intermodal movements within the
redevelopment areas. The Overtown -
oriented transportation projects to
enhance intermodal connections and
significantly increase modal splits.
7) Funding Opportunities
In order to understand the magnitude of
these funding opportunities, we only have
to look at the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) annual budget
($4 billion) and the significance of their
This illustration shows how a narrow gauge rail vehicle can be small enough to fit within narrow right-of-way.
exterior spaces to better relate the Park West Community Intermodal System ongoing efforts to identify and focus
pedestrian activities at the street level with therefore consists of specific pedestrian- funding towards the critical elements of
Hypothetical Build -out Plan 15
Florida's Strategic Intermodal System.
When combined with the congressional
schedule for TEA 21 Reauthorization and
the United States Department of
Transportation (USDOT) proposed
SAFETEA legislation provisions, there is
a clear opportunity to define elements of
the SEOPW CRA Redevelopment Plan
Update in fundable transportation project
terms. Estimate costs are listed in the
Capital Improvements, Section 5, of this
redevelopment plan.
8) Recommended Actions
The SEOPW CRA needs to immediately
consider and approve these transportation
projects as intermodal projects and seek
the support for these projects from the
City of Miami Commission, the Miami -
Dade County Commission, the Miami -
Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO), the USDOT, the FDOT, the
Florida House and Senate legislative
delegation, the U.S. Congressional
delegation and both U.S. Senators from
the State of Florida. Immediate
discussions with members of the FTC and
SITAC would be very important as well.
The proposals need to be presented as
consistent with USDOT and FDOT
intermodal initiatives and well-established
transportation law and policy. While
historically large-scale pedestrian -oriented
transportation improvements have been
difficult to conceptualize as valid
transportation expenditures, with the
federal and state interest in intermodal
projects (virtually all passenger intermodal
16 Hypothetical Build -out Plan
movements involve pedestrian trips),
there would seem to be a better
opportunity to undertake such an
initiative at this time.
To be seriously considered for state and
federal funding, the proposed intermodal
projects need to be identified in the
Miami -Dade MPO's long-range plan and
should be scheduled within the FDOT's
five-year work program. Further, such
intermodal improvements need to also be
identified as an element of the Strategic
Intermodal Systems (SIS) (intermodal
connectors or otherwise) and addressed in
the TEA 21 Reauthorization and related
federal appropriations decisions.
In undertaking these efforts, the SEOPW
CRA must recognize that they will need to
be a funding participant with the City of
Miami and the Miami -Dade County as to
any state and federal originated
transportation funds. With the
incorporation of pedestrian -oriented
mixed -mode streets and corridors, parking
shuttles and community transit, parking
structures and liner buildings into this
updated redevelopment plan, the SEOPW
CRA along with the Omni CRA should
implement initial components of the
intermodal improvements plan in
partnership with the Miami Parking
Authority (Department of Offstreet
Parking, or other public and private
partners, to demonstrate how such a
system will work and why their
transportation funding partners (USDOT,
FDOT, County and City) should
participate in such community
redevelopment related transportation
intermodal improvements.
Three maps have been included in this
redevelopment plan for reference. Obviously
the details of the routes, systems, and parking
garage locations may change as the system is
closer to implementation.

Hypothetical Build -out Plan 19
Parking
Having more than enough spaces in
surface parking lots can fragment the urban
environment and looks unsightly; having too
few spaces can frustrate residents and patrons.
However, if individual property owners
maximize the amount of parking that can be
created on each private lot, and meet 1970s -
style parking ratio expectations, the result
would be at best a blighted, unsuccessful
aspiring suburb rather than a pleasant,
walkable urban environment. More
commonly, high parking requirements make
small -scaled infill developments too difficult.
Therefore the CRA should promote a
balanced strategy that seeks to use space
efficiently and facilitate a system -wide
approach. Parking should be treated among
matters of public infrastructure rather than
just as a private endeavor on private
properties. The CRA should not enter the
business of parking, but can help implement
projects that can be managed privately or by
the City of Miami Parking Authority.
Required CRA Actions:
1) Advocate, fund, and/or build on -street
parking spaces in any future
redevelopment efforts within public
rights-of-way.
2) Support a reform of off-street parking
20 Hypothetical Build -out Plan
regulations to be adopted by the City of
Miami to reduce the unnecessary burden
on private developers. To jumpstart
redevelopment, new businesses in existing
buildings should be exempt from parking
requirements to reduce their startup costs
and therefore their financial risks.
Providing & Retaining On -Street Parking
On -street parking provides motorists with
access to street level businesses. These
businesses can capture the attention of both
pedestrians and drive-by motorists. On -street
parking also creates a comfortable pedestrian
environment by buffering pedestrians from
moving cars in the travel lanes. Sidewalks
automatically become active with pedestrians
because of people getting in and out of their
cars parked in the on -street spaces.
Existing on -street parking throughout the
Redevelopment Area should be maintained.
The potential for adding on -street parking to
streets where it is not currently provided
should be explored every time roadway
improvements occur over time. All new and
improved streets within the boundary should
be designed to include on -street parking.
Off-street Parking
In overly car -dependent regions such as
South Florida, each development will
commonly attempt to provide for their own
parking on-site with a parking structure or
parking lot. In urban areas, some of the
negative effects of storing large quantities of
cars on each site are:
• Experiencing gaps between buildings,
from parking lots, when walking down a
sidewalk is disruptive for retail
environments. Shoppers are easily turned
off by these gaps and will often stop
shopping or pause and turn around and
go back the way they came if it looks like
there are not any worthwhile destinations
down the street.
• Parking structures greatly increase the
costs to develop a building. This makes
market rate and workforce housing, for
example, more difficult to find in central
urban areas, right where they are needed.
Luxury apartment dwellers more easily
absorb the cost of the parking garages.
• Development that includes parking
structures requires larger parcels to create
functional structures and financially viable
projects. This generally requires the
projects to be large in scale, and therefore
harder to finance and harder to fit within
the fabric of the neighborhood.
• Parking structures associated with one
building do not necessarily create a
"shared" situation, which can reduce the
overall needed parking spaces. The
concept of shared parking means that at
night an apartment resident can use the
same parking space used by an office
employee during the day. In the suburban
model, office buildings and residential
buildings are not typically designed to
share parking; nor is the building
management company in the business of
managing parking.
Without shared parking, the inefficient
end result is that more money is spent and
more land is utilized for parking than is really
necessary.
Making shared parking work
As shared parking facilities are built and
the area becomes more developed, livable,
interesting, and walkable, with daily needs and
services present, some households may opt to
do without an automobile or share fewer cars
among family members. Developers of new
buildings will not have to provide as much of
their own parking as they did in the past. The
CRA can do its part by participating in public-
private ventures to build shared parking
facilities. This will take the burden off local
property owners interested in redeveloping or
improving their properties and buildings.
Reducing the Impact of Parking Garages:
To diminish the visual and negative
impact of parking garages, these guidelines
should be followed:
1. No blank walls of parking garages or walls
with openings to the parking garage should
directly face public streets.
2. A "liner" of habitable space with a
minimum depth of twenty feet should be
constructed between the street and the garage
portion of the building. Ground floors of
garages may contain lobby entrances,
entrances to parking, and should also contain
retail space. Recommended liner building
depths are thirty to forty feet for residential
and office, fifty to sixty feet for retail. First
floor residential uses should be raised a
minimum of two feet above the average
sidewalk grade.
3. Gates or payment kiosks should be at least
forty feet from the sidewalk if the entrance is
on a street.
4. Wherever possible, entrances to the parking
garage should be from an alley or side street.
5. For safety reasons, garages should be well
lit during all hours of operation and patrolled
by security officers.
Hypothetical Build -out Plan 21
Land Development Regulations
Adherence to local land development
regulations
All CRA development activities shall
adhere to the City of Miami's Comprehensive
Plan and all zoning and regulatory
requirements, as revised from time to time.
Revisions to the City's Zoning and Land
Development Regulations
The existing zoning regulations do not
necessarily encourage or ensure the
development of street -oriented, urban
buildings. This situation is not unique to the
CRA; a fine-tuning of the citywide land
development regulations will eventually be
required. However, to assist projects that are
entering the development stage in a timely
manner, a new set of Urban Design Standards
for this specific area, plus accompanying
incentives, can offer an intermediate solution.
The proposed Urban Design Standards
would reflect adjusted zoning mechanisms in
certain zones within the CRA boundaries. In
the past, the low Maximum Building footprint
(the percentage of the property which can be
covered with a building), and the Floor Area
Ratio (the amount of square footage that is
habitable based on size of the lot) required
22 Hypothetical Build -out Plan
land assembly to form large parcels,
sometimes encompassing an entire city block.
To reduce this need to assemble several
parcels into one, the Maximum Building
footprint should be increased, minimum
parking requirements reduced, and Floor Area
Ratio either de-emphasized or eliminated.
Then buildings will be allowed to vary in size
and scale, and an orderly mixture of buildings
can occur within any given city block.
Specific reforms that should be reflected
in the new Design Standards, for at least some
areas within the CRA boundaries, include:
• Increased maximum building footprints
• Revised floor area ratios, in certain zones
• Decreased parking requirements
• Decreased open space requirements
• Building envelope requirements (i.e., step -
backs and tower orientation rules) to
maintain access to sunlight and prevailing
breezes. This will have the added benefit
of optimizing east -west view corridors.
The new Standards shall describe the
following:
• The Building -To -Street Relationship: how
buildings should face the street at the
ground level. This includes elements such
as distance between operable doors,
percentage of window glazing, and the use
of projecting elements to provide shade,
such as colonnades and awnings,
balconies, or overhangs.
• Building Envelope: how the mass of the
building is expressed to maintain quality
street spaces, while optimizing
development potential.
• Architectural Elements: the basic
architectural features to create fit with the
climate and visual interest in buildings and
to provide harmony among diverse
designs by many architects.
• A Mixture of Uses: Reducing or
eliminating off-street parking
requirements for storefront businesses
located at the street level will be attractive
to small business, provided there is
enough pedestrian traffic on the adjacent
street. This may also be an incentive for a
developer to build retail square footage at
the base of an office or residential
building, furthering the initiative of
mixing uses.
The overall benefit will be to create
flexibility within a framework of reasonable
certainty, allowing the development
community to deliver a variety of building
types to provide a range of housing options
and services needed to accommodate
individuals of numerous lifestyles and
economic positions.
Physical Plan
The Physical Plan shows the physical and
geographic conditions of public and private
buildings. The plan identifies civic buildings,
private buildings, streets, highways, and mass
transit lines. Various colors for areas between
buildings identify parks and open spaces,
parking locations, sidewalks, street trees, and
yards.

Possible Changes to I-395
At the time of this Redevelopment Plan's
preparation, the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) has been discussing
modifications to I-395 between I-95 and the
Macarthur Causeway. Various scenarios have
been presented by the Florida Department of
Transportation, the apparent favored
alternative being the one with trenched
through -lanes with at -grade frontage roads.
Park West and the Omni area would be
reconnected with bridges for city streets
spanning the travel lanes below.
This alternative suggests moving the
alignment of I-395 northward along NE -NW
13th Street, and therefore creating a re -
developable swath of land at its current
location.
The plans on the right compare this
alternative with the Redevelopment Plan as
drawn and show that it is compatible.

Projects and Programs
Rl
Projects and Project Areas,
Overview
This section is organized into two primary
subsections, "Project Areas," and "Projects
and Strategies."
The Project Areas are numbered A
through H and as a group do not encompass
the entire CRA area. They should be thought
of as various "starting points" for projects
within the overall SEOPW CRA boundaries.
The impetus of focusing efforts into these
project areas is a direct response to the unfair
accusations by some members of the public
that the CRA has spent large sums of money
and has little to show for it. When money is
spent evenly throughout the entire CRA,
obviously it is difficult to see where the money
has gone, because you can not stand in one
location and see a 100% transformation. The
purpose of having the project areas is to focus
expenditures and efforts in small areas to totally
transform them, creating as dramatic and
visible an impact as possible. By
concentrating the efforts, people will
experience what the larger area will look, feel,
smell, and sound like as revitalization spreads,
inspiring additional private reinvestment.
The boundaries for project areas are not
intended to be treated as finite boundaries. If
a redevelopment proposal is adjacent to the
3
area and it meets the urban design solutions of
the project, then it should be considered part
of the project area.
The current projects and programs to be
facilitated by the SEOPW CRA are listed and
described in the second half of this section,
following the description and intent of the
Project Areas. These projects may need to be
updated from time to time as the projects
evolve and components are implemented.
Some may need to be removed from the plan
when they are sufficiently completed. New
projects may need to be added. This section
can be supplemented by another document or
documents revising the list of projects or
describing them in greater detail.
Criteria for Physical
Improvements
The criteria for any priority physical
improvement project to be endorsed by the
SEOPW CRA are:
• It produces a total, outdoor
environment of exceptional beauty,
which exudes safety and optimism, and
which stands out in marked contrast to
blight.
• It involves a combination of adaptive
re -use of existing (or better, historic)
structures with new buildings and
improved public spaces.
• It involves a completion of the public
space; for example, both sides of the
street, all corners of an intersection, or
all sides of a park or green space should
be built out or renovated.
• It includes a significant residential
component, preferably owner -occupied;
one desire is to repopulate the area and
to correct an imbalance of renters
versus owners.
• It lures residents of moderate incomes
or varied incomes; these are "colonists"
who will demonstrate the viability of
close -in convenient neighborhoods and
whose discretionary income will help
support businesses.
• It suggests what the larger
neighborhood will be like as
revitalization spreads, and it inspires
private reinvestment.
• Its purpose meets the principles and
goals described in Section 2 of this
redevelopment plan
Project Areas
Stakeholders' roles:
Specific roles for each of the stakeholders
appear below and with the project area
descriptions. In the spirit of teamwork, the
stakeholders can each do their part to
revitalize the area. The roles for stakeholders
other than the SEOPW CRA should be
considered as suggestions. Approval of this
plan should in no way require agencies or
individuals outside of the SEOPW CRA to
perform the suggested actions. Stakeholders
include:
SEOPW CRA:
Perform actions as sanctioned under the
Redevelopment Act of 1969 and identified in
this Community Redevelopment Plan.
City ofMiami
Continue support for the SEOPW CRA
and make changes to the zoning and other land
development regulations for properties in this
part of the City. The City should maintain and
improve its properties in Overtown, and use its
resources to provide a safe and attractive
community.
Overtoum Civic partnership:
Focus efforts in partnership with the City
of Miami and the SEOPW CRA. The
Overtown Civic Partnership's goals mirror
those of the SEOPW CRA. These include
goals regarding housing and physical
development, economic development,
community buildings, and leadership
development.
For Profit Developers, Community
Development Corporations, and Investors:
Continue redeveloping properties, adding
more jobs and housing options within the
community.
Residents m the Community.•
As most are aware, revitalization takes a
long time. Spend the effort and money to
improve the appearance of homes and yards.
Sometimes little tasks that don't cost too
much can make a big difference, such as
repainting, adding a tree or shrubs, and
picking up litter that might be on your street
or in your or your neighbor's yard.
Rental or Commercial Property Onmers
and Business Operators:
Maintain or improve the appearance of
your buildings. Grants and low-interest loan
programs are available to accelerate
improvements. Property owners who don't
intend to make improvements should consider
selling their properties or partnering with
others who have greater resources.
Overtonm Community Oversight Board.
Continue monitoring and guiding the
various activities within Overtown, including
implementation strategies and creating new
alliances.
Black Archives of South Florida Research
and History Foundation, Inc.:
Continue the efforts to promote and
preserve the cultural heritage of the
community.
Community Churches:
Stay involved and stay aware of the
revitalization activities in the community.
Help the CRA distribute information as
needed from time to time. Sponsor activities
to improve the visual appearance of the
neighborhoods and continue to promote the
area as a proud community that cares.

General Boundaries:
North:

East:

West:
properties that face NW 1st Ave
Challenges
■ There is an awkward traffic pattern for
vehicles proceeding north along NW 1st
Avenue.
■ Pedestrians are crossing the railroad tracks
under unsafe condition, simply because
they are walking the shortest route
between two points.
■ The railroad tracks, buildings, and vacant
properties lining NW 1st Avenue are
unsightly.
■ There is a general lack of sense of place
resulting from low building heights in
proportion to the street width. This takes
away from the potential of NW 1st
Avenue becoming an important signature
location.
New Opportunities
There are a number of opportunities that
an enhanced NW 1st Avenue will afford the
neighborhood. One of these is the
improvement of the pedestrian connection
5
between the newly proposed Promenade in
Park West and the Overtown neighborhood.
Better pedestrian routes and improved walking
conditions will allow residents and visitors
alike to circulate between the two areas.
Another opportunity is that the railroad
right-of-way can accommodate a new light rail
system, the Baylink. A station along this
section of the avenue will bring people to the
Promenade and serve as a link to downtown
Miami and Miami Beach for neighborhood
residents.
NW 1st Avenue does not need to be a
strong retail oriented street. A mixture of
office and residential buildings are the best
choice for the extra -wide roadway. Retail
efforts should be focused on the core area of
Overtown and the key east -west streets such
as 9th, 111h, and 141h.
Urban Design Solutions
1) With the current traffic pattern,
northbound vehicles need to stop, turn
left and cross the railroad tracks and then
stop and turn right to continue north. To
resolve this odd driving route, the main
travel lanes of NW 1st Avenue will curve
across to the western side of the railroad
tracks and continue to the north. The
roadway on the eastern side of the tracks
should remain a two-way street.
2) Legitimize parking on the east side of NW
1st Avenue by marking on -street spaces
and installing parking meters.
3) A number of changes and improvements
are proposed in the Physical Plan to create
a more pedestrian -friendly environment
along NW 11t Avenue. Several new at -
grade crossings of the railroad tracks are
proposed. This will allow for safer
pedestrian movement across the tracks as
well as establish missing connections in
the street grid. Improvements to
sidewalks and the addition of street lights
and shade trees along the median will
provide a more enjoyable walking
environment at all times of the day.
4) Taller building heights, when combined
with the landscape improvements, will
increase the definition of the public space
on both sides of the tracks and will
contribute to creating a sense of place.
The natural surveillance that occurs when
people can watch the Avenue through the
windows of their homes or offices will
make NW 1st Avenue a much safer place.
5) A parking structure in some location
along NW 1st Avenue, perhaps in
Overtown, will service the parking need
generated by the influx of visitors and
daily inhabitants to the area. Any
proposed parking structures must be

Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
SEOPW CRA:
• Make sure there are Credit Counseling
Services available for existing Overtown
residents, to help them qualify for
homeownership.
• Make sure there is an organization set up
that can offer basic financial literacy
training, job training, education and other
supportive services for people with
extremely low incomes that can not
qualify for home ownership.
• Begin talks with FEC and Dade County
Public Works to change the configuration
of NW 1st Avenue. This Avenue has
historically been the divider between
Overtown and Park West, and the
redesign is needed to make it the unifier.
• Support the City with the effort of
revising the land development regulations,
by funding the effort and/or promoting it
with the community.
City, ofMiami:
• The Planning Department should prepare
new development regulations for
properties along Biscayne Boulevard in
Park West to create rules that will provide
an attractive and safe pedestrian
environment facing Biscayne Boulevard.
Overtoum Civic Partnership:
• Continue efforts to implement public—
private joint development projects.
Residents m the Community.
• Residents should participate in programs
to better prepare them to take advantage
of home ownership and opportunities that
arise from redevelopment.
Developers:
• Provide residential units along NW 1st
Avenue that meet the goals and principles
of this redevelopment plan.
• Commercial Property oumers: Look for
opportunities for apartments or
condominiums to increase the number of
patrons for the local businesses.

Project Area B. Overtown
General Boundaries:
North:
NW 141h Street
South:
NW 51h Street
East:
NW 1st Avenue
West:
NW 3rd Avenue
Challenges
• The historic cultural life of arts and
entertainment and expression of heritage
in this area needs to be regenerated.
Many of the historic buildings have been
demolished.
• There is a need for a safe public gathering
space associated with the restored and
expanded Lyric Theater.
• Insuring the economic viability of the
Lyric Theater as the cultural anchor of
Historic Overtown
• Once the Lyric Theater and surrounding
businesses become successful, there will
be a perceived shortage of parking spaces,
and new parking spaces will be needed for
infill redevelopment.
• Residential population has decreased in
year 2000 from year 1990 according to the
Federal Census, explaining the decrease in
viable businesses that offer services to the
residents.
13
New Opportunities
The project area called Overtown is
intended to be the central core of Overtown.
Groups like the Overtown Civic Partnership
are proactively planning to revive Overtown,
creating a "destination of choice." The Lyric
Plaza will be the focal public open space for
cultural and entertainment activities. The
Black Archives Foundation has restored the
Lyric Theater and rents it out for activities and
events. The Lyric will also attract business to
the area from performances associated with
the Performing Arts Center, currently under
construction.
The SEOPW CRA, Miami -Dade County,
and the South Florida Land Trust already
control significant land parcels in this vicinity,
and have been assembling them for the
purpose of redevelopment.
The May 2002 Economic Programming
Study prepared by ZHA for all of Overtown
recommends that an enticement program be
created by an Action Team for Procurement.
The Action Team is to be made up of
commercial realtors, bankers, commercial
developers, and a senior CRA staff member.
Their job is to attract a tenant mix that
supports the jazz, blues, and gospel
entertainment venues and the supporting
businesses in retail and services. Read that
study for further information.
The Lyric Theater serves as the cultural
anchor of "Historic Overtown." This cultural
anchor can serve to significantly enhance
efforts to create a tourist destination. The
long-term viability of the Lyric Theater as the
cultural anchor, and future commercial retail
and residential developments is critical.
Keeping the theater open and active may
require additional public-private partnerships.
Urban Design Solutions
1) The Lyric Plaza should be surrounded on
three sides by mixed-use buildings, with
the fourth side being the planned addition
to the theater. The ground level of these
buildings should contain restaurants, bars,
clubs, and shops offering unique
merchandise with cultural appeal. These
establishments will complement the
theater -going experience and will
encourage people to come early and linger
after performances at the Lyric Theater
and other future clubs in the area.
2) Offices and/or apartments should occupy
the upper floors around the Lyric Plaza.
3) Vehicular access should be provided on
the west and north sides of the Lyric
Plaza, providing a drop-off location for
patrons and providing access to midblock
parking facilities.
4) The city blocks between NW 2nd Avenue
and 3rd Avenue should follow the Folk
Life Village Plan in character, with two to
four story buildings.
5) Taller buildings should be built facing
NW Ist Avenue and the Metrorail tracks.
Integrated into these buildings should be
garages that provide shared parking spaces
to theatergoers, the businesses, residents,
and visitors on NW 2nd Avenue and in the
Folk Life Village area.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
SEOPW CRA:
• Offer land as part of public—private joint
development projects.
• Coordinate County efforts to do the

Challenges
• Buildings that once opened toward the
street with doors and windows have been
closed up, presumably due to crime or the
perception of vulnerability to crime.
• Neighborhood -serving retail has been
reduced to a handful of bars, small
markets, hair salons and barber shops,
and laundromats.
• The Culmer Center building is far from
the street, fenced off, poorly lit at night,
and the property is significantly
underutilized.
• Existing apartment buildings in the area
are at best plain and, in many cases, aging
and unattractive.
New Opportunities
NW 3rd Avenue could become a thriving
mixed-use / commercial street with businesses
that better support the daily needs of both
longtime residents and newcomers. New
residential development, such as Village of St.
Agnes, Carrie Meek Tower, and St. John
Village will increase the variety of housing
choices and diversify the household types and
incomes, and return the customers needed for
the businesses. The Culmer Center could be
rebuilt and expanded as an impressive street -
oriented building, with a courtyard for certain
outdoor activities. The comer at NW 171h
Street and NW 3rd Avenue has large trees that
will enhance what could be turned into a
public green square. Vehicular traffic around
the new green square will make it safer than
the property currently appears.
ZHA's 2003 Economic Programming
Report supports the need for additional retail
in North Overtown, especially with the 102
new units that are soon to come on the
market.
Urban Design Solutions
1) Use the Culmer Center property as a
redevelopment site.
a) The existing facility should be
replaced with a new structure built at
the comer of NW 171h Street and
NW 4th Avenue. The new building
should be oriented to the street, with
an open air courtyard.
2)
3)
4)
b) An unfenced public green or park
should be built at the comer of NW
171h Street and NW 3rd Avenue where
currently there are large trees. The
front entrance of the new Culmer
Center should face the new green
square.
c) The remaining portion of the Culmer
Center property along NW 3rd
Avenue should be redeveloped as 2 -
to 4 -story flexible -use buildings,
oriented toward the street like those
on the east side of NW 3rd Avenue.
d) The remaining portion of the Culmer
Center Property along NE 4th Avenue
should be redeveloped for residential
or office uses. Live/work
combinations should be encouraged.
Properties on the eastern side of NW 3rd
Avenue should be refurbished or
redeveloped into 2- to 4 -story mixed-use
buildings. Windows and doors must face
NW 3rd Avenue to make walking along
the sidewalk safe and worthwhile.
Implement the Trust for Public Land's
Overtown Greenway Plan (the portions
for North Overtown, in particular).
NE/NW 1411, Street is the main
pedestrian connection into the Omni
Area.
Sidewalks should be repaired where
broken and street trees planted where
there are gaps. This segment of NW 3rd
Avenue currently has a nice mature street
tree canopy that should be retained during
any future streetscape project.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
SEOPW CRA:
• Make sure there are Credit Counseling
Services available for existing Overtown
residents, to help them qualify for
homeownership.
• Make sure there is an organization set up
that can offer basic financial literacy
training, job training, education and other
supportive services for people with
extremely low incomes that can not
qualify for home ownership.
• Initiate a streetscape improvement project
for North Overtown.
• Help attract new businesses to NW 3rd
Avenue in anticipation of new residents
moving into Village of St. Agnes, Carrie
Meek Tower, and St. John Village, making
those businesses more viable than with
the current population.
• Provide assistance perhaps through a
facade improvement program or
rehabilitation grant or loan program for
existing commercial building/business
owners to upgrade the existing stores on

Project Area D. Historic Overtown
Priority Business Corridor
On June 9th, 1998 the City of Miami
adopted resolution R-98-592 designating NW
3rd Avenue from approximately NW 8th Street
to approximately NW 14th Street, and NW 81h
Street from NW 2nd Avenue to NW 3rd
Avenue, as the Historic Overtown Priority
Business Corridor. This general designation
gave the CRA the ability to start planning
activities, which it did, via a pilot program that
will assist the overall commercial revitalization
of Overtown.
The CRA has made progress with some
of the problems identified at that time by the
project report. The two buildings on the east
side of NW 3rd Avenue between loth Street
and 11th Street have been renovated and have
a new fagade that was funded through a grant
from the CRA. The CRA further constructed
parking lots along the business corridor in
anticipation of future parking needs for the
commercial businesses. The blue metal picket
fence surrounding Frederick Douglass
Elementary School is a visual improvement
over the chain link fence that was there.
Project Area Boundaries:
North: I-395 Overpass
South: NW 8th Street
East: properties that face NW 3rd Ave
West: properties that face NW 3rd Ave
Challenges
• More buildings need renovation.
• The community has criticized the
construction of the parking lots, because
at present they appear to remain empty
most of the time and decrease the sense
of a built-up neighborhood.
• The street has many churches, each
needing additional parking during church
events and funerals that occur on days
other than Sundays. These events further
reduce the parking availability for business
patrons.
• There is a lack of shade for pedestrians.
• Sidewalks are narrower than those for
typical main streets, making it less
comfortable for shoppers and other
pedestrians.
New Opportunities
The potential for a thriving NW 3rd
Avenue has not been lost. The segment near
NW 81h Street is quite visible for people
getting on Interstate 95, and it is somewhat
visible for northbound motorists on I-95.
More noticeable improvements between NW
81h and NW loth Streets will attract people to
stop there who might otherwise pass by, or
who might be interested enough by a passing
glance to want to return when they have more
time.
Urban Design Solutions
1) Do not build any more parking lots until
the demand for the area increases to the
point where there is a real parking
problem. The project entitled Planning and
Development of Parking Facilities for the
Historic Priority Business Corridor, should be
considered complete until more parking is
needed in the Priority Business Corridor.
The surface parking lots constructed by
the SEOPW CRA were intended to be an
interim use. The CRA is interested in
development proposals for those
properties provided parking is included
that is also accessible for existing
neighborhing buildings.
2) Shade for pedestrians is urgently needed.
This can be accomplished by planting
trees between the on -street parking
spaces, or with awnings, canopies, roof
overhangs, balconies, colonnades, or
arcades attached to the buildings.
3) Travel lanes in the streets should be
narrowed so that the extra space can be
added to the sidewalk width. On -street
parking must remain in any future
28
streetscape project, to help the businesses
along the street, and to add a safety
barrier between the moving cars and the
pedestrians.
4) Landscaping along the embankments of
the Interstate Highways and the Metrorail
should be continued. This has been
successfully accomplished in some places
by Marvin Dunn's Group, Black
Reflections, Inc.
5) Improve the appearance of Church
owned parking lots. These are mostly
empty except during Sunday services and
other events and they could be landscaped
better. Better yet, develop new buildings
to house church programs, community
outreach services, subsidized housing or
for generating revenue through renting
and leasing. Any new buildings will likely
have to include parking structures, and
minimize the view to parking from NW
3rd Avenue.
Implementation Strategies
The 1998 Study for the Historic Overtown
NW 3rd Avenue Priority Business Corridor
recommended that an economic study was
needed, that a business capacity and
Identification program be created, and a
"theme" be adopted. The May 2002
Economic Programming Study prepared by
29
ZHA for all of Overtown estimates the
magnitude of commercial and residential
development that SE Overtown can sustain.
It recommends that an enticement program be
created by an Action Team for Procurement.
The Action Team is to be made up of
commercial realtors, bankers, commercial
developers, and a senior CRA staff member.
Their job is to attract a tenant mix that
supports the jazz, blues, and gospel
entertainment venues and the supporting
businesses in retail and services. The study
suggests that the success of future residential
development is dependant upon the success of
the commercial uses. This action team will
have to work on the Priority Commercial
Corridor in a coordinated manner with
entertainment district intended for Overtown.
A "theme" is not so important, but
positioning the Overtown neighborhood
properly in an advertising and marketing
campaign will be important to its success.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
SEOPW CRA:
• Continue to plan and coordinate
improvements for this project area.
• Coordinate efforts with the efforts of the
Overtown Civic Partnership. The

training, job training, education and other
supportive services for people with
extremely low incomes that can not
qualify for home ownership.

Project Area E. West Overtown
General Boundaries:
North:
NW 11th Street
South:
NW 7th Street
East:
I-95
West:
NW 7th Avenue
Challenges
• Streets were closed off near Reeves Park
that creates large blocks, referred to as
superblocks. These sometimes are
difficult for pedestrians to cross, and
make motorists drive farther, consuming
time and expensive fuel.
• Boarded up buildings greet motorists
entering Downtown from the I-95 ramp
that becomes NW 3rd Court
• The two blocks of neighborhood serving
retail blocks on NW 5th Avenue might be
difficult to revive in the near term.
New Opportunities
The location of this area between
downtown and the Miami River will become
desirable as a neighborhood in which to live
once the apartments and neighborhood
amenities become more attractive and
functional. ZHA's 2003 Economic
Programming Report supports the need for
30
additional residential units in West Overtown
in addition to those already provided in the
two recent developments, New Hope
Overtown and The Miami River Park.
The one-way streets in this neighborhood
could be returned to two-way, shortening car
trips and removing confusion for motorists.
Apartments could be quite desirable facing all
four sides of Reeves Park. Opening up the
superblock so that streets will surround all
four sides of Reeves Park will make the park
appear to be safer.
West Overtown does have industrial uses
along NW 7th Avenue. Those that are
compatible to the neighborhood should not be
discouraged. Special attention will need to be
given to the transition from industrial to
residential uses. These businesses provide
jobs for local residents at wage levels higher
than retail jobs and likely high enough to
support a family.
Urban Design Solutions
1) To break up the superblocks, former
streets will need to be restored, most
importantly the superblock bordered by
NW 81h Street and NW loth Street
between NW 51h Avenue and NW 7th
Avenue.
2) Apartment buildings must vary in form
and color to enhance the visual

Project Area F. Properties Facing
Biscayne Boulevard
General Boundaries:
North:
I-395
South:
NE 5th Street
East:
Biscayne Boulevard
West:
NE 2nd Avenue
Challenges
• Most properties facing Bicentennial Park
remain vacant and only used for parking
for events at the American Airlines Arena.
However, ownership has changed
recently, signaling change may not be too
far away.
• Zoning regulations for buildings fronting
Bicentennial Park do not necessarily
promote street -oriented buildings.
• Biscayne Boulevard is difficult to cross
with the fast-moving traffic and the large
number of travel lanes. There are very
few marked crosswalks.
New Opportunities
Requiring buildings to be sited on the
front property line or a designated "build -to"
line will allow Biscayne Boulevard to develop
into an urban street befitting its location and
history. Building envelope controls should
prevent new buildings from blocking air flow
and light from existing buildings behind them,
to optimize air quality.
Awnings, colonnades, and balconies must
provide needed protection from the elements
for passing pedestrians. These sheltered
locations will also provide opportunities for
outdoor dining along Biscayne Boulevard,
contributing to Miami's warm -weather
lifestyle.
Parking garages lined with habitable
spaces facing the streets will help satisfy the
parking needs of the new Biscayne Boulevard
buildings. The habitable space lining the
garages will give these utilitarian structures an
urban face toward the public spaces of the
streets and Park.
Urban Design Solutions
1) The primary solutions to the challenges
faced by Biscayne Boulevard buildings will
be found in changes to the zoning code.
These code changes must address such
issues as building placement, awnings, and
colonnades, among others. The Biscayne
Boulevard Special Area Plan details these
recommended changes.
2) More control is to be exercised over the
building envelope, allowing buildings to
interact more sensitively with prevailing
breezes and improve air quality. A twelve

story building base requirement should be
instituted to create a more unified "street
wall" and improve the spatial enclosure
along Biscayne Boulevard and
Bicentennial Park.
3) Additional pedestrian crossings are to be
located along Biscayne Boulevard to
increase pedestrian safety and mobility.
4) With the two new museums planned for
Bicentennial Park, their parking demands
should be met offsite, on the west side of
Biscayne Boulevard. By making the
motorists park west of Biscayne and walk
down the streets and across the
Boulevard, merchants gain better
visibility, and the pedestrian traffic makes
the streets safer, just by their presence.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
SEOPW CRA:
• Support the City with the effort of
revising the land development regulations,
by funding the effort and/or promoting it
with the community.
• Until such time as the new land
development regulations are in place,
facilitate meetings with property owners
prior to the completion of their
construction documents and approvals to
show them the intentions of the new
regulations.
City ofMiami:
• Help the CRA implement a shared
parking garage to serve the Museums and
Performing Arts Center on the west side
of Biscayne Boulevard.
• The Planning and Zoning Department
should prepare new development
regulations for properties along Biscayne
Boulevard in Park West to create rules
that will provide an attractive,
comfortable, and safe pedestrian
environment facing Biscayne Boulevard.
Commercial Property Oumers and
Developers:
The most important design features of
buildings facing Biscayne Boulevard should
include:
• Every floor facing Biscayne Boulevard
should have habitable and useable space.
Parking garages on lower floors should
have "liners" of habitable space. Drop-
offs may occur in the on -street parking
lane, should FDOT create a parking lane
in its new design for the roadway.
• Primary entrances should face Biscayne
Boulevard.
• Vehicular entrances to garages and
delivery bays should occur on NE 2nd
Avenue, but not on Biscayne Boulevard.

supporting the local economy. The parking
needs of these patrons will be accommodated
in a lined parking structure adjacent to NW 1st
Avenue.
New mid -block plazas that will be created
along the Promenade will function as public
gathering spaces for the clubs that have
recently been relocating to the Promenade.
Most successful commercial districts have
anchors to draw patrons. The Promenade will
have on its eastern edge a renovated
Bicentennial Park, with two new museums, the
Miami Art Museum (NLW, and the Miami
Children's Museum. At the western end of
the Promenade, along NW 1st Avenue, a
significant anchor has not yet been identified.
This anchor should attract people to the
neighborhood during daylight hours, as well as
at night.
Terraces, whether part of new buildings
or added to the existing buildings, will provide
space for outdoor dining at ground level and
above, improving the "outdoor" lifestyle that
Miami's weather allows.
Urban Design Solutions
1) Examine and modify, if necessary, zoning
regulations to encourage new multi -story
mixed-use buildings and parking garages.
The requirement of windows, doors, and
terraces to the existing buildings along the
Promenade will contribute to the natural
surveillance of the space making the
environment safer. New regulations
could add incentives additional parking
for civic buildings such as the Center for
the Performing Arts, the two arenas, and
the future museums in Bicentennial Park.
2) Design a construction plan that will detail
the approach to lighting, signage, and new
pavement in an effort to encourage
business activity and make the area safer.
This could be implemented on a block by
block basis as funds permit.
3) Modify the boundaries of the City's
Entertainment District to include just the
properties that face NE/NW 11th Street
and NE/NW 10th Street from Biscayne
Blvd on the east to NW 1st Avenue on the
west (including both sides of NW 1th
Avenue) .
4) Review the Promenade Special Area Plan
for more design concepts and strategies.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
SEOPW CRA:
• Fund and implement improvements to
the former railroad now known as the
Promenade. These improvements should
include but not be limited to re -surfacing
pavement, landscaping, increasing
lighting, and painting. Acquiring the
services of engineers or landscape
architects may be required.
• Coordinate, and help facilitate in some
manner, an air conditioned garbage
location accessible by all the businesses
along the Promenade. This could be
constructed as part of a new building or
by renovating an existing one.
Management of this facility should be
taken on by one of the building managers
for collecting fees, for example.
• Support the City with the effort of
revising the land development regulations,
by funding the effort and/or promoting it
with the community.
City ofMiami:
• Work with the CRA if necessary to
implement the shared garbage facility.
The City should not be responsible for
the management of this facility.
• The Planning Department should prepare
new development regulations for
properties with C-1 zoning in Park West,
to allow an increase in development
opportunity.
• Support the creation of a zoning
46
ordinance that allows outdoor dining for
the Promenade.
• Examine the modification of the
boundaries for the City's Entertainment
District. Interest appears to be focused
on the 11th Street area. The southern
portion of the boundaries should be
removed. The boundaries can be
extended to the west to include portions
of Overtown. The area around the Lyric
Theater should be included.
• Continue to provide police support for
the SEOPW CRA area.
• Solve the homeless situation in the area
and assist Charities Unlimited in the
relocation and/or upgrade of its Camillus
House facility.
• Assist in the infrastructure installation for
the area, particularly the wiring of fiber
optics.
Overtoum Civic Partnership:
• Seek opportunities for the positive effects
of the Entertainment District to "spill"
over into Overtown
Commercial Property Oumers and
Developers:
• When renovating existing structures or
building new ones orient patio entrances,
outdoor dinning, or entertainment spaces
47
to the Promenade.
• Enclose unsightly rear building items,
such as electrical meters, back flow,
preventers, etc.
• Place mechanical equipment on roofs to
keep the Promenade free of the noise and
unsightliness.
• Work with the CRA or City to create a
shared garbage facility.

Challenges
• Despite the location, properties between
the two Arenas are somewhat separated

Barriers include the elevated MetroMover
tracks on 51h Street and the FEC railroad
right-of-way between 61h and 7th Streets.
71h Street is not a through -street, because
it is blocked by the Miami Arena.
New Opportunities
Recently various property owners in this
area have organized a collective effort to
coordinate future development across multiple
City blocks. They can do this with flexibility if
the City designates a zoning district that would
allow transferring certain zoning requirements
and entitlements from one block to another
within the district. This flexibility will allow
opportunities for a grocery store, additional
commercial anchor stores, and better
configurations for parking structures since
some of the blocks are very small for garage.
ZHA, Inc., the CRA's economic feasibility
consultants, has identified in its 2003 report to
the SEOPW CRA that there is potential in
setting up and attracting a new business
market in preventative medical care to Park
West, generally supported by people with
greater means, spending more than 19 billion
dollars nationally each year. These medical
related uses are not necessarily required for the
81h Street Spine but are offered here as a
unique market potential for the area.
Preventative medical care includes health
maintenance tests and scans to make sure that
customers are healthy and for early diagnosis
of possible health problems. Tests may
include EKG (resting and treadmill), visual
acuity testing, audiogram, chest x-ray,
spirometry, non-invasive colonoscopy, blood
workup, body composition, and nutrition
counseling. Customers will have access to
over 100 specialists and may receive additional
diagnostic tests such as calcium -score heart
scan, CT lung scans, total body scan of the
heart, lungs and abdomen/pelvis, ultrasound
for carotid arteries, dental examination, skin
exams, and cosmetic surgery consultations.
Mingled with the medical services are
holistic services that include traditional
therapeutic massages, facials and body
treatments, and energy healing (Tai Chi, Yoga
and meditation classes, hands-on healing).
Urban Design Solutions
The success of this project depends on
the creation of a district of various buildings
and businesses catering to the preventative
medical market and to typical residential and
commercial markets. The physical form of this
district will not vary from the urban form for
Park West described elsewhere in this plan.
Current property owners should be
interested in this idea, because if successful, it
will provide demands for leaseable space or
land/building purchases in a unique market
for South Florida. If this is slow to
implement, conventional market demands can
provide tenants.
As in the Promenade Area and elsewhere,
the zoning regulations need to be examined
and modified, if necessary, throughout Park
West to encourage new multi -story mixed-use
buildings and parking garages. The
requirement of windows, doors, and terraces
to the existing buildings along streets will
contribute to the natural surveillance making
the environment safer. New regulations
could:
• increase the FAR and density limits, or
eliminating them all together.
• have separate FAR requirements for each
use as an incentive to get mixed used
buildings.
• allow for transfer of development
potential from one property or block to
another.
• add flexibility to setbacks and increased
greenway setbacks on certain streets
connecting major public facilities;
• swapping public and privately owned land
to move public rights-of-way from their
existing locations to new ones. For
example, 71h Street could be swapped for
land next to 81h Street to make a larger
right-of-way that could include a
significant green way between the two
arenas.
• include a streamlined the regulatory
process and increase MUSP thresholds.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
SEOPW CRA:
• The CRA must first approach the
hospitals and confirm ZHA's solicitation
of the hospital's interest and the
understanding this is a hospital -related
real estate venture as part of the
regionalization of medical/health services.
• Set up a long range planning committee
devoted to finding a workable manner to
construct and recruit tenancy for the
complex. See ZHA's 2003 report for
more details regarding this committee.
• Support the City with the effort of
48
revising the land development regulations,
by funding the effort and/or promoting it
with the community.
City, ofMiami:
• Economic Development Initiatives: validate the
economic viability of preventative medical
uses and make recommendations to the
CRA board whether to pursue this
project.
• Planning Department. prepare new
development regulations for properties in
Park West, to allow an increase in
development opportunity.
Commercial Property Oumers and
Developers:
• Collaborate with the CRA to get this
project started. Volunteer to participate
on the planning committee devoted to
designing a coordinated effort and for
recruiting and setting up the potential
preventative medical care market.
• Leasing agents may want to assist with
meeting with the hospitals and doctors.
Miami WorldCenter
Envisioned as "a dynamic urban core of
diversity and excitement" Miami WorldCenter
49
proposed to be a "blend of exceptional retail,
restaurant, entertainment, hotel, residential,
and commercial offerings in one unique
location with M to 20 million square feet of
buildable area across nearly 30 acres of prime
real estate."

homes consist of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom units.
Homeownership has been a major theme to
encourage redevelopment in the Overtown
community and these residents have decided
to transition from co -ownership with HUD to
private homeowners.
L. Community Heritage and Historic
Preservation
1. Renovation of Historically Significant
Buildings
✓ # 1-#6 supports all of the goals
Overtown
The SEOPW CRA proposes to build on
the historic character of the area by preserving
and revitalizing historically significant
structures in the SEOPW CRA areas. Projects
will be implemented following the completion
of the designation of the significant historic
structures for rehabilitation. The Black
Archives of South Florida Research and
History Foundation, Inc.'s Master Plan
identifies the following objectives as a guide in
the redevelopment process:
• Effectively communicate information and
develop broad based awareness and
appreciation of historic achievements of
the African-American community through
exhibits, special events, tours, and the
media.
• Develop a magnet area within the target
50
community for the purposes of: (1) re-
establishing a special identity for Culmer-
Overtown by focusing one era in its
history, the "Little Broadway" jazz era; (2)
to establish interest in the Afro-Caribbean
heritage by encouraging tourism, trade
and cultural exchanges. Develop these
themes to attract night clubs and
restaurants; programming special cultural
events, designing signs, street furniture
and public plaza spaces; and creating
promotional literature for tourism and
local marketing.
• Preserve, where feasible, surviving
buildings which represent important links
to persons, activities or events of major
significance in the past.
• Encourage new development to
incorporate uses which would contribute
to the vitality of the district such as stores,
nightclubs, restaurants, theaters.
• Encourage new buildings to incorporate
selected design elements from the past
which reflect special cultural or thematic
feelings which are relevant today and
should be re-established.
Consideration will be given to the
preservation of all of the identified historic
buildings, wherever structural conditions and
cost of rehabilitation might be favorable.
51
However, recognizing that overall economic
revitalization plans for Overtown require
extensive new development, emphasis should
be placed on preservation of the following
historic structures, which are considered to be
of major importance (located within SE
Overtown Planning areas boundaries):
Churches
• Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW
81h Street (near 2nd Avenue)
• Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 91h
Street (near 3rd Avenue)
• Building which was formerly the Lyric
Church, NW 2nd Avenue and 8th Street,
and the adjacent building
• Ebenezer Methodist Church, 1042 NW
3rd Avenue (near NW 111h Street)
• St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd
Avenue
• St. Agnes Episcopal Church, 1750 NW 3rd
Avenue
Businesses
• X -Ray Clinic, 171 NW 91h Street
• Stirrup Building, comer NW 81h Street
and 3rd Avenue
• Longshoreman's Hall, NW 2nd Avenue
and NW 8th Street
• Stewart -Scott Building, NW 2nd Avenue
and NW 10th Street
• Dr. Davis' Office Building, NW 2nd
Avenue and NW 10th Street
• Judge L. E. Thomas' Office NW 2nd
Avenue and NW 10th Street
• Ward Rooming House, NW 91h Street and
NW 2nd Court (partially demolished)
• Clyde Killens' residence & business,
corner, NW 2nd Avenue and NW 111h
Street
• Lyric Theatre, 819 NW 2nd Avenue
• Clyde Killens' Recreation Hall, NW 2nd
Avenue and NW 10th Street
Public Buildings
• Black Police Precinct and Courthouse,
1009 NW 51h Avenue
• Dorsey Library, 100 NW 171h Street
(outside of the SEOPW CRA)
Residences
• Dorsey House, 250 NW 91h Street
• Killens House, corner, NW 2nd Avenue
and NW 111h Street
The Black Police Benevolent Association
completely rehabilitate and develop the former
Police Precinct located at 51h Avenue and 111h
Street in Overtown. The building hard been
vacant since 1990's and was renovated and to
be used as a Black Police Museum. In
addition, the facility will be designed and
equipped to promote cultural activities for and
within the Overtown community.
Possible preservation strategies must be
studied for each of the above buildings
individually. Among the factors to be
considered are: ownership, need for repairs,
economic productivity, potential for new uses,
eligibility for federal tax benefits, location and
relationship to planned redevelopment sites,
potential for moving to a new site, potential
sources of funding. Buildings to be of first
priority concern because of imminent threats
of demolition, deterioration or vandalism
include:
• Stirrup Building
• Stewart -Scott Building
• Thomas Building
• Ward Rooming House (only front
remains with temporary structural
support)
• X -Ray Clinic
Buildings that should be considered for
reconstruction (due to previous demolition or
neglect) include:
• Ward Rooming House
• Cola Nip Building, formerly at 233-5 NW
9th Street
• Divine Mission Building
• Brown House
Park West
Older structures located in Park West that
have historic and cultural significance to the
overall Miami Community should be
preserved when economically feasible. Special
attention will be given to the Freedom Tower.
Properties of major architectural,
historical and/or contextual significance
include:
• 500 NE 1st Avenue, Central Baptist
Church
• 505 NE 2nd Avenue
• 521 NE 2nd Avenue
• 545 NE 2nd Avenue, Valencia (Gibson)
Hotel
• 135 NE 51h Street
• 49 NE 51h Street, Salvation Army Citadel
• 600 Biscayne Blvd., Freedom Tower
These buildings reflect the wide variety of
architectural styles common to Miami,
particularly Mediterranean Revival and frame
and masonry vernacular structures. Two of
the buildings, however, are examples of styles
unusual to Miami: Venetian Gothic (Salvation
Army Citadel) and Neo -Palladian (Central
Baptist Church). The preservation of these
structures should be included in any
redevelopment project.
2. Historic Designation
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
The City of Miami Planning and Zoning
Department has evaluated Overtown and Park
West as a possible historic district and has
determined that it is not eligible. However,
the significant buildings have been designated
Historic or listed in the National Register for
Historic Places, or both, through the efforts of
the P&Z Department.
The following properties have been
designated by the City of Miami as historic
sites:
• Dorsey House, 250 NW 9th Street
• X -Ray Clinic, 171 NW 9th Street
• Chapman House, 526 NW 13th Street
• Cola Nip Building, 233-5 NW 9d' Street,
building demolished
• Lyric Theatre, 819 NW 2nd Avenue
• St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd
Avenue
• Ebenezer Methodist Church, 1042 NW
3rd Avenue
• Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 9th
Street
• Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW
8th Street
52
• St. Agnes Episcopal Church, 1750 NW 3rd
Avenue
• Black Police Precinct and Courthouse,
1009 NW 51h Avenue
• Dorsey Library, 100 NW 171h Street
(outside of the SEOPW CRA)
The properties listed above as historic
sites may utilize the Historic Preservation
"HP" Zoning Overlay District permits, that
provides certain modification to zoning and
building code regulations where necessary to
make preservation economically or
architecturally feasible.
The following properties have been listed
on the National Register of Historic Places:
• Dorsey House, 250 NW 91h Street
• X -Ray Clinic, 171 NW 91h Street
• Cola Nip Building, 233-5 NW 9d' Street,
building demolished
• St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd
Avenue
• Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 91h
Street
• Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW
8th Street
There may come a time when more
structures will become elligible. Should that
occur, the SEOPW CRA will work with the
53
Black Archives of South Florida Research and
History Foundation, Inc. and the City of Miami
to further designate properties of historic
value in the community.
3. Promote and/or Organize Activities and
Events That Recreate the Former Vitality
and Atmosphere of the Community
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #3 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
An African-American/Caribbean theme is
recommended to recreate the feeling and
atmosphere of "Historic Overtown". The
establishment of an annual Historic Overtown
Cultural Arts Festival reminiscent of the jazz
era will provide the setting for jazz concerts to
be held within the proposed district.
The establishment of an international
cultural complex featuring activities
reminiscent of the nineteen thirties, forties,
and fifties will provide artists with the
opportunity to receive training as well as to
perform in concert.
Events that would aid in attracting people
into the community include a national
oratorical competition, hair styling contests,
tennis tournaments and other sporting events,
culinary contests specializing in soul food
from the Caribbean and Southern States, and
the establishment of a hall of fame with annual
recognition of national figures. Families from
all over the world will be encouraged to hold
annual family reunions in Miami -Dade
County, particularly in the Historic Overtown
district.
The establishment of specialty shops
which feature products of Africa, the
Caribbean and the Southern States including
restaurants, caterers, photographer's studios
specializing in passports, bookstores and art
galleries would help attract visitors to the area.
A "Saturday Marketplace" where vendors
are allowed to set up in a designated street
block or public plaza, featuring ethnic foods,
crafts, fresh produce, artwork, a VIP
Convention Center for local organizations
with national and international chapters, and a
permanent center to exhibit ongoing
collections unique to the black experience
would also increase the number of visitors to
the area throughout the year.
4. Provide Incentives for Revitalization in
"Historic Overtown"
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #3 Housing: Infill, Diversity, & Retaining
Affordability
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
Incentives or requirements may be
provided to attract retail stores at the ground
level on selected commercial blocks, and to
attract jazz clubs, permit -controlled street
vendors, and outdoor markets.
Special zoning incentives in the HP
Overlay Ordinance may be used for the
preservation of existing historic structures.
Design guidelines for new construction that
would encourage selected elements of historic
building forms to be incorporated into the
design of new buildings should be considered.
5. Establish a First -Class Residential
Village Containing a Cluster of Restored
Buildings, The Folklife Village.
✓ # 146 supports all of the goals
The placement of distinctive street
furniture wherever redevelopment plans call
for new improvements to sidewalks and plaza
spaces such as paving, benches, signs, trash
cans, landscaping, etc., and the development
of landscaping standards utilizing historical
and thematic plant materials can aid in
achieving this goal. Public plaza, street,
sidewalk and park improvements should be
designed to accommodate the special cultural
events the area will attract.
As a complement to the Historic Folk
Life Village Master Pan, the SEOPW CRA
shall promote public private partnerships
including partnerships with non-profit
organization and/or development entities
located and operating within "Historic
Overtown" to develop the first-class
residential village in a manner consistent with
"Historic Overtown".
5a. Provide Planning, Coordination,
and Technical Assistance to the Black
Archives Historic Folklife Village
Development
The Historic Folklife Village is Dade
County's proposed African American
heritage tourist destination. Plans were
proposed in 1997 and 1998 to guide the
redevelopment of the tourist site by
emphasizing reestablishment of mixed
uses. The SEOPW CRA will assist the
Black Archives and Research Foundation,
Inc. in providing a detailed survey, a
complete economic and functional
evaluation of all the land uses and
proposed development within the
Historic Folklife Village, and initiate any
environmental assessments in order to
assist in the efforts of developing the area.
5b. Technical Assistance to Historic
Lyric Theater Redevelopment
The Lyric Theater is a performing
arts theater that was the center of local
nightlife in its heyday. Located at NW 2nd
Ave. and NW 8th St., it is currently under
renovation by the Black Archives. Their
primary objective is to use the theater as a
venue for cultural programming,
community meeting facilities and an
anchor for the Historic Overtown Folklife
Village. The SEOPW CRA will assist in
the Black Archives' on-going effort to
rehabilitate the theater and make available
related support facilities. Assistance will
include a right of way for access to back
of house related activities and potential
parking.
5c. Planning Design and Development
of Infrastructure Improvements in the
Historic Folklife Village
As a complement to the Historic
Folklife Village Master Plan, the SEOPW
CRA will assist in providing technical
assistance for the provision of
infrastructure improvements, such as
streetscape improvements and
landscaping.
54
5d. Planning, Design and
Development of Parking Facilities to
Support the Lyric Theater and the
Folklife Village
The SEOPW CRA proposes to assist
with the development of parking facilities
to support the increasing use of the Lyric
Theater and the eventual development of
the Folklife Village.
6. Promotion of "Historic Overtown" as a
Tourist Destination
✓ # I Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
The establishment of a Tourist
information center which would direct tourists
to attractions, restaurants, hotel
accommodations, and historical sites
throughout Miami -Dade County would serve
to mark "Historic Overtown" as a tourist
destination. The placement of historic markers
delineating historic sites (including sites now
vacant or redeveloped) and the establishment
of tours of local historical sites including bus
tours to visit sites county -wide and mini -tours
for sites within the district are among several
strategies that can be used to generate interest.
"Historic Overtown" especially those
55
areas along the historic NW 2nd Avenue
corridor, should be developed in a manner to
create a tourist destination in suitable sites for
commercial/tourist/cultural uses. As suitable
sites for commercial/tourist/cultural uses
continue to diminish within "Historic
Overtown", the need to insure the economic
vitality of existing uses becomes more critical.
Therefore, economic conflicts between
existing land uses must also be viewed from a
perspective of improving and redeveloping
existing commercial/tourist/cultural uses,
where appropriate.
The strategic objectives for the promotion
of "Historic Overtown" as a tourist
destination shall include to:
(1) increase the number of commercial and
cultural attractions, restaurant, hotel
accommodations and historical sites
offering information and memorabilia
about "Historic Overtown's" rich
heritage to visitors,
(2) increase public visitation to historical
resources within "Historic Overtown,"
(3) provide public accessibility to cultural
events within "Historic Overtown,"
(4) increase the number of Overtown
residents and visitors benefiting from
cultural activities each year, and
(5) coordinate with the Miami -Dade County
African-American Tourist Site Task Force
Board, and similar board, entities and
organizations to locate and develop
business opportunities for tourist
attractions within "Historic Overtown,"
especially along the NW 2nd Avenue
corridor.
7. Establishment of Artists District by
Legislation
✓ # I Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #6 Improving theQualzty of Life for Residents
The SEOPW CRA will petition for the
designation of an Artists District for
Overtown. The Overtown area possesses a
fascinating history as a center of black culture
and the focal point of area entertainment. This
legacy is still seen in its buildings, plazas and
theaters. The establishment of an Arts
District -would capitalize on these resources by
directing future growth in a manner
compatible with its history. The establishment
of legitimate theater, writers, and artists'
workshops; and first class night clubs and
restaurants should be encouraged based on the
guidelines of the Historic district. The
establishment of manufacturing as well as
other related businesses for the arts, i.e.
manufacturing and distributing equipment and
supplies for dancing, music, art, etc. should
also be encouraged.
8. Update Housing Policy, Periodically
✓ #3 Housing. Infill, Diversity, & Retaining
Affordability
The Housing Policy should be reviewed at
least every two years. Changes will be made to
to the policy that increase, support, or
maintain affordablity in the SEOPW CRA. as
new outcomes are discovered by the current
policy or as issues arrise from new
development in the neighborhood.
II. Promotion and Enhancement of
Overtown and Park West as a
Business and Investment Location
9. Seeking Public/Private Development
Opportunities
✓ # 146 supports all of the goals
The SEOPW CRA will search for,
evaluate, and advertise public-private
development opportunities that will utilize the
land owned by the CRA in a effort to further
the goals of the Redevelopment Plan. This
may include tasks associated with:
• coordinating with other private and
public entities for the development of
surplus real property within the CRA.
• offering land as part of public—private
joint development projects.
• coordinating efforts with Miami -Dade
County to do the same.
• Request the County to redevelop the
Culmer Center to improve the facility
and help improve NW 31d Avenue, or
seek a third party to joint venture with
the County.
• coordinating, and help facilitate in some
manner, an air conditioned garbage
location accessible by all the businesses
along the Promenade. This could be
constructed as part of a new building or
by renovating an existing one.
Management of this facility should be
taken on by one of the building
managers for collecting fees, for
example
10. Investigation into Hospital -related
Real Estate Ventures
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
ZHA, Inc., the CRA's economic feasibility
consultants, has identified in its 2003 report to
the SEOPW CRA that there is potential in
setting up and attracting a new business
market in preventative medical care to Park
West, generally supported by people with
greater means, spending more than 19 billion
dollars nationally each year. This is identified
in Project Area H, of this section.
The SEOPW CRA will approach the
hospitals and confirm ZHA's solicitation of
the hospital's interest as a hospital -related real
estate venture, part of the regionalization of
medical/health services. If there is interest on
behalf of the City and the hospitals to pursue
this idea, the CRA will also establish long
range planning committee devoted to finding a
workable manner to construct and recruit
tenancy for the complex. See ZHA's 2003
report for more details regarding this
committee. The location for this grouping of
medical related uses may occur elsewhere than
along NE 7th or 8th Streets, provided it
remains within the SEOPW CRA.
11. Establish an "Action Team for
Procurement" to enlarge the Business
Community
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
56
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
ZHA, Inc., the CRA's economic feasibility
consultants, has identified in its 2003 report to
the SEOPW CRA an approach to attracting
new businesses to Overtown, with incentives
and organization. See ZHA's 2003 Economic
Programming Study, page 30, #3, "Luring the
Proper Overtown Retailing Mix for the
recommendations.
The SEOPW CRA will review the strategy
and establish an Action Team for the purpose
of attracting new businesses to Overtown.
The SEOPW CRA may elect to call the
committee by a name different from "Action
Team." To start, the Action Team will focus
on NW 3rd Avenue from the Culmer Center
south to NW 8th Street, the area identified in
this plan as The core of Overtown, and along
NW 1st Avenue from I-395 south to NW 5th
Street, and along 11th Street and the
Promenade. The CRA will keep the Action
Team informed of new residential projects as
they are being proposed to help in the effort
to attract new businesses.
12. Enhancement of Property Assessments
and Options to Improve Values in the
Vicinity of Camillus House
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
57
Growth Principles
Camillus House is a unique facility serving
special needs and indigent populations. This
area of the CRA is in need of special attention.
In order to promote growth along this
segment of the Biscayne Boulevard entrance
into the City of Miami, the CRA is proposing
to research and implement specific options for
spurring growth in this key segment of Park
West. Potential courses of action include
improving deterrent uses, planning
enhancements and alternatives, and stabilizing
neighborhoods.
13. Property Assessment Reevaluation
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
The property values in the CRA continue
to appear under assessed. In 1998, the City of
Miami requested that the Governor of Florida
undertake a review of the Dade County
Property Appraisal methodology and practice
of assessing property values in the City of
Miami. The practice of undervalued
assessments particularly related to commercial
property negatively impacts the incentives for
a developer to invest in the area. The CRA
proposes to continue efforts to follow up on
this request.
14. Identification, Marketing and
Negotiation of a National Franchiser as a
Pioneer Project for the Historic Priority
Business Corridor
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #S Promotion & Marketing
✓ #6 hVroring theQuality of Life for Residents
The creation of strategic partnerships
between franchisers and minority urban based
businesses represents a market of untapped
consumers, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Location of these businesses along the
corridor and impact area will give impetus for
the expansion and location of other
businesses. The CRA will continue its efforts
to identify, negotiate, and market the Historic
Overtown Priority Business Corridor to
potential franchisers by offering favorable
direct or indirect development incentives.
15. Planning, Design and Development of
a Job Creation Plaza
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
In order to help create critical mass along
the Historic Priority Business Corridor, the
CRA is making plans to develop a job creation
plaza that will serve the local community and
other users. The plaza will be a pedestrian
friendly environment incorporating open
space, landscaping, a much needed plaza or
meeting area suited for passive gathering and
socializing, retail restaurants and other
businesses uses and services.
16. Development of a Professional
Business Office
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
The CRA proposes to develop a
professional office building within the Historic
Priority Business Corridor or its impact area.
If the building is constructed within the
Historic Overtown Folklife Village, it should
follow the design guidelines of the Historic
Overtown Folklife Village Master Plan.
17. Development and relocation of new
Businesses to Overtown and Park West
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart

The SEOPW CRA will initiate the re-
zoning of all properties within the SEOPW
CRA, for reasons described in Section 3 of
this redevelopment plan. Tasks will include:
• Funding this initiative and promoting it
within the community
• Hold workshops and meetings with the
community and the City of Miami
Planning Department to prepare the
first draft of an ordinance for a new
zoning district or districts for properties
within the CRA.
• Revise a subsequent draft of the
ordinance.
• Provide guidance and support for the
re -zoning effort during the re -zoning
process.
20. Increase Parking Supply
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
58
The SEOPW CRA will examine ways to
increase the supply of parking within its
boundaries. Tasks may include:
• Advocating, funding, and/or building
on -street parking spaces in any future
streetscape or redevelopment efforts
within public rights-of-way.
• Funding, and/or building off-street
parking spaces in any future
redevelopment efforts within the CRA
boundaries.
• Coordinating and facilitating efforts
with the City of Miami that support the
reform of off-street parking regulations
to reduce the unnecessary burden on
private developers. For example, to
jump-start redevelopment, new
businesses in existing buildings should
be exempt from parking requirements
to reduce their startup costs and
therefore their financial risks
21. Miscelaneous Land Acquisition
✓ # 146 supports all of the goals
The SEOPW CRA proposes to acquire
land, as necessary, to support the
implementation of the projects described in
this Redevelopment Plan within the SEOPW
Redevelopment area. Acquiring more land for
59
publicly accessible green space for active and
passive recreational use will also be a priority.
22. Support for Greenways
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
The SEOPW CRA will assist, where
possible, the Trust for Public Land with
implementation of their Overtown Greenprint
Plan and Greenway Plan within the SEOPW
CRA.
23. Monitor Conditions At Public Schools
Serving Students in the SEOPW CRA
✓ #3 Housing. Infill, Diversity, & Retaining
Affordability
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
The SEOPW CRA will send an individual
or small committee to each of the public
schools that serve students that live within the
SEOPW CRA. Since the quality of schools is
often the number one decision factor for
chosing where to buy a house, the intention of
this project is for the CRA to help improve
the neighborhood schools where possible.
The purpose of the school visits is to look for:
• Physical improvements that can better
the appearance of the schools
• Review the performance of the students
as compared to other local, state and
national public schools
• Overcrowding or under utilization of
the facilites
The CRA will record observations and
make recommendations and requests to the
School Board. The CRA may ask the City
Commission to make requests to the School
Board as well. Since many of the schools
serving the CRA area are outside of the CRA
boundaries, the CRA can only fund, if
possible, improvements to those schools
inside the boundaries.
24. Create and Design an Overlay of
Special Fencing for all CRA owned
properties and others governmental and
non-profit institution owned properties
within its jurisdiction in Overtown
✓ #6 Improving theQuabiy of Life for Residents
Historically, public agencies that own land
maintain the properties vacant while
redevelopment occurs or is proposed and this
does not give redeveloping communities a
look that is pleasing and does not do much for
the image of the area. The CRA proposes to
create and design an overlay of special fencing
in the Bahamian, Caribbean style for all CRA
owned properties and for other properties
within its jurisdiction to transform an
otherwise challenging situation into an
opportunity to provide the Historic Business
Corridor and its impact areas with a linking
element that will provide character within a
historic framework. The fencing should be
compatible with the design parameters
specified in the Historic Overtown Folklife
Village Master Plan.
25. Technical Assistance/Liaison to
Optimist Club Activities
✓ #4 Promotion & Marketing
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
The CRA proposes to continue to provide
assistance and support to the Optimist Clubs
in terms of policy guidance, assistance with
local governmental organizations, and other
technical assistance.
26. Plan the Improvements of the
Overtown Parks: Gibson Park, Williams
Park, Reeves Park, Dorsey Park and
Athalie Range #1 Mini -Park
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
According to a report by the Trust for
Public Land, parks and recreational
opportunities are important to all
communities. The lack of adequate
recreational space has been an element of
contention in the studies of urban violence.
Inadequate parks ranked above unemployment
and difficulties with police amongst the most
significant problems within the inner city
neighborhoods. This realization was behind
the creation and support of the Safe
Neighborhoods Parks Bond Program.
Unfortunately, neighborhoods such as
Overtown have the least park land and the
fewest facilities with the most difficulty in
improving and maintaining the existing areas.
The SEOPW CRA will coordinate efforts with
the City of Miami (Parks and Planning
Department) to provide for incentives to allow
for the creation of additional park/green space
and for the maintenance of such recreational
areas. The CRA may produce schematic
designs for facility improvements and public
safety measures within the parks.
27. Development of a "Gateways" Project
into the Omni and the Southeast Overtown
Park West Areas
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
The CRA proposes to study and evaluate
the potential of entry features for the
entrances into the Omni Area at the I-395 exit,
11th Street and Biscayne Boulevard and into
the Southeast Overtown Area at NW 14th St.
and connections with I-395, I-95, and NW 3rd
Ave., at NW 3rd Ave and NW 8th StSt. and at
NW 4th Ave. and NW 8th St. Specific entry
features for the Park West Area will also be
determined. Entry features for Overtown
should be in accordance with the Historic
Overtown Folklife Village Master Plan.
Efforts to be coordinated with the Trust for
Public Land in implementing their
Greenway/Greenprint Plan, and with the
Black Archives Foundation, Overtown Civic
Partnership and the City of Miami in
implementing these gateways and preserving
the historic context of the area.
28. Update the Housing Policy
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #3 Housing: Infill, Diversity, & Retaining
Affordability
The CRA is currently drafting a Housing
policy to apply to both of the City's CRAB.
The SEOPW CRA will adopt this new policy
and will update it periodically as changes occur
in the market places and as property values
shift from time to time.
29. Promote Affordable Housing to
Developers
60
✓ # 9 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #3 Housing. Infill, Diversity, & Retaining
Affordability
The SEOPW CRA will meet with
developers of projects within the CRA
boundaries prior to their permit application
submissions to the City. The purpose of the
meeting is for the CRA to encourage and
negoitate for as much affordable housing as
possible in each new developemnt. The
SEOPW CRA will not offer assistance of any
kind to developers unless the developers
comply with the CRA's Housing Policy.
IV. Street Improvements, Utility
Infrastructure, and Transportation
30. Streetscape Projects
✓ # 9 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #S Promotion & Marketing of the Community
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
The SEOPW CRA has begun or
completed streetscape design and construction
in a few of the Project Areas. The CRA will
continue the efforts to conclude those projects
that have not begun or been completed. The
61
streetscape projects include:
1. 9th Street Pedestrian Mall
2. The Promenade (between 101h and 111h
Streets)
3. NW 3rd Avenue (south of I-395) for the
Historic Priority Business Corridor
4. NW3rd Avenue (north of I-395)
5. NE/NW 111h Street (Entertainment
District)
6. NW 15t Avenue
Additional streetscape projects may be
included in the future. Related tasks may
include
• regular maintenance of lighting, street
furniture, landscaping, and paving
materials.
• acquiring the services of engineers or
landscape architects.
• Discussions FEC and Miami -Dade
County Public Works to change the
configuration of NW 15t Avenue. This
Avenue has historically been the divider
between Overtown and Park West, and
the redesign is needed to make it the
unifier.
31. Coordination of Infrastructure
Improvements with City of Miami and
Miami Public Works Departments, Miami
Dade Water and Sewer Department,
FDOT, Miami Parking Authority and
Other Relevant Agencies
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #6lmproving theQuality of Life for Residents
CRA efforts are concentrated on planning
infrastructure improvements in the CRA Area,
such as street improvements, landscaping,
lighting, parking and pedestrian amenities, and
enhancements. Coordination with local and
state agencies responsible for implementing
these infrastructure improvements, as well as
private developers and community members,
becomes paramount to set priorities,
coordinate and avoid duplication of efforts,
and find new avenues to pursue resources.
Tasks may include:
• Upgrades to water mains and sewer
mains, by implementing actual
reconstruction or by subsidizing the
upgrades performing others.
• Collaborating with the MPO to return
one-way streets back into two-way
streets.
• Improving pedestrian features such as
crosswalks that are more visible to
motonsts or securing easements or
access for pedestrian routes separated
from the roadways.
• Influencing the decision to subdivide
larger blocks into smaller ones with the
creation of new streets.
• Increasing public on -street parking in
rights-of-way.
• Assisting with solutions to any noise,
access, and privacy problems associated
with properties along the rail and transit
routes
• Assisting in the decision making
process of possible changes to I-395
and I-95 as the MPO continues its
study and discussion regarding the
removal or reconfiguration of those two
federal highways.
32. Pedestrian Compatible Community
Transit System
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
The SEOPW CRA will review, and act
accordingly towards, the work of Thomas
Gustafson and Nova South East University
related to the development of a pedestrian
compatible community transit system to link
all Southeast Overtown, Park West, and near
by CBD and Omni destinations, as described
in the Miami at Midnight report. The report
also describes the possibility of a large
pedestrian zone adjacent to the
Overtown/Arena Metrorail Station to enhance
intermodal transfers.
33. Pilot Infrastructure Improvement and
Maintenance Program
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
The CRA will establish for Overtown and
Park West a pilot street cleaning, sweeping
program and a grass cutting program,
primarily for security reasons, for the areas of
the CRA and maintain a closer coordination
with existing property owners and the
Downtown Development Authority, and the
City of Miami.
34. Plan/Coordinate/Design Special
Lighting, Security District (Pedestrian
Enhancements)
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #6 Improving theQuality of Life for Residents
Security is an important issue in the area.
The SEOPW CRA proposes to provide
pedestrian enhancements, special lighting, and
create a more pedestrian friendly atmosphere
in the SEOPW CRA Area by developing and
implementing a Security and Lighting District
and a Police Enhancement Program for areas
within the SEOPWCRA, including the
entertainment district, the 9th Street Pedestrian
Mall, and Sawyers Walk. Within the Historic
Overtown Folklife Village, lighting should be
consistant with the character identified in the
Historic Folklife Village Master Plan.

The CRA will coordinate efforts with the
City of Miami, local real estate organizations,
mortgage lenders and community bankers,
CDC's, faith -based institutions, consumer
advocates, and residents to implement a home
ownership pre -qualification and counseling
program which will provide homeownership
training sessions, market public sector
assistance programs, and assist in pre -
qualifying home buyers. Services will be
accessible to existing Overtown residents.
The program is intended to provide basic
financial literacy training, job training,
education and other supportive services for
people with extremely low incomes that can
62
not qualify for home ownership.
VI. Grants to Existing Businesses
Program

The CRA proposes to assist in creating
jobs in the City by providing technical
assistance with Section 108 loan applications
and administering a revolving loan pool, which
will make low interest, low downpayment,
long terms loans in the amount of $25,000 to
$1 million for business improvement projects
to area businesses. Tasks may include:

Capital Improvement Costs and Timeline
Introduction
This section identifies the primary capital
improvements, their costs, and timeframe for
implementation. It is not the intent of this
section to serve as an implementation plan or
as an operations budget. The SEOPW CRA
has an independent operation strategy and
budget that will identify capital improvements
among its other projects and expenses. The
known and desired capital projects listed in
this plan are prioritized. It should be expected
that this section will become obsolete over
time as projects get completed and new ones
become important to the community, which is
the reason for a separate budget strategy.
Capital Improvement Goals
The goals for making capital
improvements within the SEOPW CRA area
are:
1) Eradicate the visual blight seen from
streets and public places within the
SEOPW CRA to upgrade the
appearance to attract new investors
and development.
2) Protect the health and safety of the
residents by improving the
performance of the City's
infrastructure systems.
3) Remove or diminish negative impacts
2 Capital Improvement Costs and Timeline
caused by existing or inadequate
infrastructure.
Prioritizing Capital
Improvements
The approach to prioritizing improvement
projects focuses on key project areas described
in Section 4, Projects and Programs. These
areas are characteristically unique and show
the greatest potential for immediate positive
change:
Project A - NW 1st Avenue
Project B - Overtown (Little Broadway)
Project C - NW 3rd Avenue
Neighborhood Center
Project D - Historic Overtown Priority
Business Corridor
Project E - West Overtown
Project F - Biscayne Boulevard
Project G - The Promenade
Project H - NE 8th Street/
Miami World Center
Project I — Proposed Camillus House
Campus /UM Medical
Research Center
Project.1 — TownPark Homeownership
District
Place Corridors
These project areas do not cover the
entire CRA area, but when started, should
attract interest in the community and spark
additional private investment within the
SEOPW CRA. The idea behind concentrating
efforts in small areas is to totally transform
them, creating as dramatic and visible an
impact as possible. When money is spent
evenly throughout the entire CRA, it is
difficult to see where the money has gone. By
focusing the efforts, people will see what the
larger area will be like as revitalization spreads,
inspiring additional private reinvestment.
First Priority should go towards efforts
within the Project Areas. The CRA Board will
decide if certain projects rank higher than
others, as they will with their 5 -year
improvement plan.
Areas outside of the project areas may
need improvements too, such as water and
sewer upgrades, parking structures and parking
shuttles. These will be evaluated as to their
impact on furthering the efforts in the specific
project areas.
Potential Funding Sources
It is important for the CRA staff to
coordinate with the City and County staff to
leverage or match tax increment funds with
Federal, State, and locally available funds.
Sources include but should not be limited to:
• Capital programs for the City, County
or other local governmental entities.
• Community Development Block
Grants.
• Federal, State, and local Transportation
Trust Funds
• People's Transportation Plan funded
through the local option half -penny
sales tax and overseen by the Citizens
Independent Transportation Trust.
• Federal, State, and Local Park Funds.
• Partnerships with educational
institutions.
• New Market Tax Credits
Capital Improvement Costs
by Project Area
Each project area has improvements
itemized as:
1. Streetscape Improvements:
Streetscape improvement estimates
include costs associated with pavement, curbs,
sidewalks, concrete pavers, drainage,
landscaping, utilities, signage, and pavement
markings.
The construction costs were prepared
from information in the Draft Report for the
Southeast Overtown / Park West
Redevelopment Plan dated September 2003.
The costs exclude structures and any right of
way acquisition.
2. Water Main
Water Main estimates include costs for
upgrading underground mains that provide
water service to the properties. Hookup fees
are not included.
3. Sewer
Sewer estimates include costs for
upgrading underground sewer pipes that
provide solid waste disposal from adjacent
properties. Hookup fees are not included.
4. Projects budgeted for Yr 2003-2004
Projects budgeted for the Fiscal Year
2003 — 2004 have been added to the Project
area they serve. Some currently budgeted
projects affect multiple project areas and are
listed under the category of "Other Capital
Improvements."
Capital Improvement Costs and Timeline 3
Project A - NW 1St Avenue
Overall Priority: Medium
The visual nature of the street needs
improvement since the railroad right-of-way is
rather unsightly. This avenue that separates
Overtown and Park West can become a linear
park (with transit & rail) with similar buildings
and uses on both sides of the track, so that the
two areas become more unified in character.
First Steps — High Priority
Discussion should begin immediately with
FEC to find out their intentions for the right-
of-way and to find the possibility of modifying
the roadways on both sides as described in this
plan, which will require acquisition of portions
of the right-of-way.
Project F - Biscayne Boulevard
No items are listed for Biscayne
Boulevard because improvements within the
right-of-way are part of current projects in the
planning stage by the Florida Department of
Transportation.

Project G - The Promenade
Overall Priority: High
The Promenade occupies the former
municipal railroad right-of-way owned by the
SEOPW CRA in the burgeoning
Entertainment District. The SEOPW CRA
will reinforce its previous investments in the
neighborhood by focusing its attention here to
get results. Additional parking, shuttles to
distant parking locations, and changes to the
land development regulations are urgently
needed to support the recently renovated
businesses on NE 11th Street.
Current Improvements identified in the
budget for FY2004:
• Security Cameras for the Entertainment
District, however there is no cost identified.
• Interim Promenade construction: to clean

Residential Uses and the i rhod
Impact of Redevelopment
Neighborhood Impact of the Master Plan
Neighborhood Overview
The South East Overtown — Park West
Community Redevelopment Area (SEOPW
CRA) has a wide range of land uses because of
its adjacency to the Central Business District.
Park West, the eastern part of the
SEOPW CRA, predominantly has old
warehouses that once contained businesses
that relied on the proximity of the Port of
Miami, when it was located at what is now
Bicentennial Park. Park West is now home to
one sports stadiums - American Airlines Arena
(Miami Arena — demolished in September
2008 , the Network Access Point (NAP)
facility that provides computer data storage
related services, three large residential towers,
an expansion of the Wolfson Campus of
Miami -Dade Community College, and several
new nightclubs catering to the "after hours"
market.
The majority of the existing residents in
Park West reside in the three towers located
on NW Is' Avenue near the former Miami
Arena site; while four new luxury mixeduse
residential towers were development during
the recent real estate boom from 2003-2007.
This represents a potential increase in new
middle to upper income residents to the Park
West area but the recent recession; occupancy
of these edifices will proves to be a challenge
2 Neighborhood Impact of the Master Plan
for the next 2-5 years. The Southeast
Overtown residents reside in largely low-rise,
older rental development scattered throughout
the community. There is a large homeless
population and an outdated homeless feeding
facility in Park West that the City of Miami is
in the process of providing assistance in
rclocating to one of the expanded area of the
redevelopment district.. The existing SEOPW
population is considerably younger and poorer
than the City of Miami and Miami -Dade
County as a whole, and reflects a slightly
higher median household size. The existing
households in SEOPW are more likely to be
headed by single head of household than the
City of Miami as a whole. Unemployment
rates in the community are also higher than
the rates for the City and County.
Overtown is comprised of small
neighborhood businesses, churches, single
family homes and apartment buildings, with
the latter being the most dominant.
According to ZHXs 2003 Economic
Programming Study, a review of the 1990 and
2000 US Census and Claritas market research
service data shows that homeownership is very
low in Overtown, about 10%. This low
homeownership rate is a reflection of the low
household incomes in the community and the
lack of affordable homeownership
development in the community. For
comparison, the City of Miami as a whole has
about 35% of its residential units owner
occupied. In 2002, almost 50 percent of
Overtown's households earned less than
$15,000 per year. The population of the
SEOPW CRA area has increased by 2.9%
between 1990 (6,599) and 2000 (6,792).
Residential characteristics in surrounding
are as:
• Northeast of the SEOPW CRA is the
Omni Redevelopment Area. The
Adrienne Arsht Performing Arts Center
(PAC) was completed in 2006 and serves
as a catalyst to draw new people,
businesses and residents into that area.
North of the PAC between Biscayne
Boulevard and Biscayne Bay are several
new multi -family residential towers under
construction and/or recently completed.
• North of the SEOPW CRA, the
conditions are similar to Overtown.
Redevelopment efforts within the
SEOPW CRA can only have a positive
effect on its northern neighbors.
• South West and West of the SEOPW
CRA is the Miami River and the Spring
Garden neighborhood. The river has
mostly industrial uses, but future loft style
apartments and mixed use developments
have been advertised on signs posted at
various properties. Spring Garden is a
stable residential neighborhood primarily
of single family homes, separated from
western Overtown by the Sem canal.
• To the south is the Central Business
District with mostly government related
buildings on the southern edge of the
SEOPW CRA.
• Northwest of the SEOPW CRA is the
hospital area comprised of several
hospitals, doctors offices, and related
businesses and research facilities.
• To the East are properties facing Biscayne
Bay, including Bicentennial Park and the
American Airlines Arena. Two museums
are anticipated for Bicentennial Park. [to
be renamed Museum Park].
Housing Policy
The following items constitute the
SEOPW CRA's Policy toward Housing, both
market rate and affordable:
1) The SEOPW CRA will only endorse,
support, encourage, assist or initiate
housing initiatives that will do their part
to:
a) Improve living conditions for all
residents of the neighborhoods
b) Incorporate a variety of housing
options and serve a range of incomes
c) Includes design features and
considerations that contribute to the
livability of the community
d) Furthers the development of
"workforce" housing through
partnerships with employers located
in and surrounding the SEOPW
community, including the use of
Employer Assisted Housing models
2) A goal for the level of affordable housing
that should be made available in the
SEOPW CRA of, at least, 20% of any
new development or rehabilitation of
existing housing stock, to be periodically
reviewed for results.
3) Affordability can be achieved by:
a) Working with both non-profit and
for-profit developers to help them
find redevelopment opportunities and
to assist with overcoming obstacles
they may encounter.
b) Developing and supporting programs
that will assist in the development of
housing that is affordable to lower-
income families by providing
developer incentives such as density
bonuses, parking concessions and
project subsidies.
c) Establish inclusionary zoning
fnroposed Miami211 policies that will
require a percentage of the units in all
new rental and homeownership
developments to be affordable to low
and very low-income families, with
best efforts being made to serve
existing Overtown residents.
d) Assisting developers, who provide
rental housing serving families,
including seniors, earning below 50%
of the area median income, to secure
project based assistance for those
units.
e) Ensuring that existing supportive
housing is better integrated into the
community, and expanding
supportive housing models to address
the unmet needs of existing SEOPW
residents.
Ensuring adequate funding of and
access to mortgage subsidy programs
for existing SEOPW families who
seek homeownership opportunities in
the community.
Neighborhood Impact of the Master Plan 3
Relocation Policy
As stated in this Redevelopment Plan's
Housing Policy, it is the SEOPW CRA's goal
and intent to retain, improve and increase the
housing stock in the redevelopment area and
not to replace it with a non-residential use.
In the future, if any unforeseen
redevelopment project involving the SEOPW
CRA requires the involuntarily displacement
of anyone from either a rented or owned
housing unit, the project proposal must
contain a Project Relocation Plan which
adheres to all applicable laws and regulations.
The Project Relocation Plan must be approved
by the Board of the SEOPW CRA in a
publicly noticed CRA Board meeting prior to
any final approval of the project.
If any future projects were to require
relocation and CRA funding were to be
"partnered" with Federal funds, the SEOPW
CRA shall make it a condition of its
participation that all provisions of the
Uniform Relocation Assistance Act are met.
This strategy adheres to the requirements of
Chapter 163 and 421, Florida Statues.
Through the Housing Policy and
Relocation Policy described in this Plan, the
existing residents within the SEOPW CRA
area who may be temporarily or permanently
displaced as a result of redevelopment
4 Neighborhood Impact of the Master Plan
activities directly supported by the SEOPW
CRA will have access to safe, sanitary and
decent replacement housing.
Traffic Circulation
The network of streets within the CRA is
the typical Miami "grid." The older portions
of Overtown have smaller blocks. The I-95
and I-395 Highways have created some real
and psychological barriers; however there are
several locations where the city streets pass
under or over the highway. The FEC
Railroad, which runs along NW 1st Avenue,
interrupts circulation for both pedestrians and
motorists in several locations.
For this Redevelopment Plan's proposed
traffic changes, see Section 3, Hypothetical
Build -out Plan: "Transportation System:
Mobility and Access." The primary change
proposed is returning many of the streets from
a one-way configuration back to two-way
streets. The current conditions appear to
make it easy for visitors to enter Overtown,
but confusing to leave. The current roadways
should handle the projected increase in
residential units, since the same city streets
accommodated a former population of 40,000
in 1960. The population in 2000 was 6,792, an
increase from 6,599 in 1990. Also, public
transit serves Overtown rather well, which did
not exist in 1960.
Further community transit and transit
access improvements will be explored related
to Airport to Sea Port Metrorail linkages
through the Overtown/Arena Station and
other possible livable community intermodal
system improvements.
FDOT is proposing changes for the Port
of Miami traffic, which will include
modifications to NE/NW 5th and 6th Streets
to have three travel lanes in each direction,
and additional ramps on to I-95 for
northbound traffic, and traffic westbound on
SR836, The Dolphin Expressway. This
project was recently rejected by the MPO so
efforts to determine new alternatives should
be undertaken.
Transportation capacity is controlled by
the downtown's DRI agreement
(Development of Regional Impact). The local
circulation is addressed on a project by project
basis in the Major Use Special Permits
(MUSP).
Environmental Quality
Redevelopment in the SEOPW CRA will
improve environmental quality due to existing
provisions in the City's building permit
process. Miami -Dade County Department of
Environmental Resource Management reviews
all new construction permits to insure health
standards are followed. Asbestos testing is
required for existing buildings that are to
undergo renovation. The County's Health
Department must also approve any water and
sewer changes, restaurants, hospitals, clinics,
and schools.
Miami Dade Water and Sewer
Department (M-DWASD) provides water and
sewage services and runoff drainage for the
CRA area. M-DWASD has upgraded their
standards which means that nearly all new
construction and renovations within the CRA
will require upgrades to the water service lines,
given the age and smaller diameter of the
existing water lines.
Areas of concern within the CRA are
those redeveloping areas that once had
industrial uses and gas stations. Those areas
are primarily in Park West, along the FEC
railroad tracks, and along NW 7th Avenue.
Effect on School Population
The 2000 population of the area within
the SEOPW CRA boundaries was 3,904. The
average household size in the 2000 Census for
Miami -Dade County was 2.90, which means
there are approximately 1,347 households.
Using Miami -Dade County Public School's
five-step School Impact Review Analysis
Process, this suggests that there are currently
approximately:
238 school children enrolled in elementary
school,
130 school children enrolled in middle
school, and
151 school children enrolled in high
school.
519 total students (estimated)
Since the projected population growth for
the SEOPW CRA is difficult to estimate given
the large development potential of the
SEOPW CRA, two scenarios were calculated
using the School Impact Review Analysis
Process (see Section 10, Appendix C) Based
on this analysis, substantial numbers of new
residents will require the construction of new
schools or major additions to existing ones. If
every property in the SEOPW CRA was built
out to its maximum potential, with current
zoning, Miami -Dade Public Schools will need
to double the size of Booker T. Washington
High School and add multiple middle and
elementary schools
Currently with the low utilization of the
one high school serving the neighborhood,
2000 to 3000 more residential units can be
added to the school district and stay within
capacity limits. That is not true for the middle
and elementary schools. The two middle
schools serving the area are both currently
overcrowded. The elementary schools are
currently underutilized but new development
generates more students at the elementary
level.
The analysis only took into account the
public schools, not charter schools. The
student population in the charter schools can
come from outside the SEOPW CRA and
Miami -Dade County Public Schools does not
factor them into their formulas.
Factors that can affect the projections of
the school impact analysis:
1) Increases in zoning causing additional
residential units beyond existing
zoning.
2) A lowering of the student drop-out
rate, primarily affecting the high
school level.
3) A large percentage of new residents
sending their children to charter or
private schools.
Miami -Dade County Public Schools is
assessing their facilities and the number of
students since Florida voters passed a
referendum in 2002 requiring a mandatory
classroom size reduction in public schools.
The deadline for this is the 2008-9 school year.
In 2008, Miami Dade County Public Schools
implemented a school concurrencsystem
which allows them to receive information
from the all local municipalities to deternune

Until recently, Park West and Overtown
have been overlooked as a desirable place to
live and work. With the attraction of the Park
West Entertainment District during evening
and early morning hours, and with the
anticipated spill-over effect of the Performing
Arts Center, expansion of the Historic Lyric
Theater, and new proposed market rate and
affordable housing, the physical character of
the CRA area is about to change.
Recent projects from the CRA have been
geared toward beautification of the public
rights-of-way with sidewalk improvements and
tree planting. Athalie Range Park under I-95
is about to undergo improvements with the
installation of a domino park, historic
walkway, renovated basketball courts and new
bathrooms
The CRA has identified that new zoning
regulations are needed with design guidelines.
The intention of the design guidelines is to
ensure that both publicly and privately
constructed buildings are attractive and
support the need for pedestrian access,
Neighborhood Impact of the Master Plan 7
comfort, and safety.
Proposed new developments at the time
of writing this amendment all provide a mix of
uses including residential, making it possible to
live and work within walking distance or
transit.
The greatest asset of this community is its
location. The Central Business District is
within walking distance, it is served by public
transit, and it is centrally located in Miami -
Dade County.

Florida Community Redevelopment Act,
Chapter 163, Part III of the Florida Statutes.
The adoption of this Redevelopment Plan and
any later modifications or amendments shall
follow the procedures set forth in Florida
Statute 163.346 (public hearings) and Statute
163.360 (7), (8), and (9) of the Act.
By adopting this Redevelopment Plan, the
Community Redevelopment Act of 1969
confers upon the SEOPW CRA the authority
and the powers to perform "Community
Redevelopment" as defined in Statute 163.340
(9) of the Act.
The SEOPW CRA is the authoritative
government agency that oversees and
monitors development within the SEOPW
redevelopment area, and as such, all
development projects proposed within its
environs must be presented before the CRA
Board of Directors prior to the City of Miami
granting approval of the project.
4 Plan Management
Future Amendments to this
Redevelopment Plan
This Redevelopment Plan is an
amendment, an update, to the original 1982
SEOPW CRA Community Redevelopment
Plan. In the future, this plan may need to be
amended as new, innovative projects eligible
for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds, are
proposed for the area.
Amendments to the Plan shall be
approved by the Board of City
Commissioners. The CRA Board will initiate
any amendment action by adopting a
resolution recommending that the Board of
City Commissioners amend the Plan pursuant
to Statute 163.346 and Statute 163.360 (8) and
(9) by resolution. The CRA Board may then
hold an advertised public hearing on the
proposed modification or amendment and
approve the modification by passage of an
appropriate Resolution. Any amendment
action also requires pre -notification of the
affected taxing authorities by registered mail.
The Community Redevelopment Act of
1969 does not require local planning agencies
to review plan amendments for conformity
with the Comprehensive Plan.
The original "Findings of Necessity"
should be reaffirmed with regard to the
proposed modification or amendment.
Should any provision of the Community
Redevelopment Plan, including later revisions,
be found to be invalid, unconstitutional or
illegal, such provision shall not affect the
remaining portions of the plan. A plan need
not be revised solely to clarify any such
conflicts that are substantive, but such
conflicts should be removed at the time of the
next amendment.
State of Florida Statutory
Requirements
The Community Redevelopment Act of 1969,
(163.362), requires that specific elements be
included in every redevelopment Plan. The
chart to the right identifies the location for
each of those elements within this Master Plan

Previous Planning Work for
the area
1973
Urban Development and Zoning Plan.
This report recommended redevelopment of
the area north of the port access road to I-395
between N.W. 1st Avenue and Biscayne
Boulevard, later designated as Park West. This
recommendation was incorporated within the
MCNP in 1976.
1976
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
4MCNP)
A Comprehensive Plan is required by the State
of Florida for every municipality. Miami's
Comprehensive Plan provides the framework
for the overall development of the City of
Miami. This plan is periodically updated and
continues to guide the City's decisions. In
1976 Development opportunities were
identified for the CRA area within this
document including the establishment of an
in -town residential community and
redevelopment opportunities made possible by
the expanded transit system.
2 Appendices
1979-1980
Overtown Redevelopment Plan
Prepared by the City of Miami Planning and
Zoning Department with extensive citizen
review, this plan was for the larger Overtown
community, not just the CRA boundaries.
This plan was adopted by both the City of
Miami and Miami -Dade County. Portions of
this plan that referred to Southeast Overtown
were incorporated into the original SEOPW
Community Redevelopment Plan.
1979-1981
Miami Park West; A Redevelopment Program
for Downtown Miami
Prepared by Wallace, Roberts and Todd
(WRT), American Cities Corporation, and
Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Douglas, this
plan called for land purchase of a 16 -block
area, extensive clearance and redevelopment
of the industrial area into a residential and
commercial community. The focal point of
the plan was a large linear green space linking
Overtown to Bicentennial Park. This plan was
incorporated into the 1982 SEOPW
Community Redevelopment Plan.
1981-82
SEOPW Community Redevelopment Plan
Prepared by the City of Miami Planning and
Zoning Department, this plan stated to the
State of Florida the need for a Community
Redevelopment Agency, and specified projects
and operations for the CRA. Although the
plan was modified over the following few
years, it is now out of date, which has led to
the Community Redevelopment Plan to which
this appendix is attached. The 1982
redevelopment plan was reviewed and
modified over a six-month period by the
Southeast Overtown/Park West Ad Hoc
Committee that included representatives of
the Overtown and Park West communities
and provided a forum for community
concerns.
1986-87
Omni Area Redevelopment Plan, September
1986
Prepared by the City of Miami Planning
Department, this is the Community
Redevelopment Plan for the Omni Area CRA.
August 1984
Design Standards and Guidelines for the
Southeast Overtown / Park West
Redevelopment Project
This document was prepared by the
Downtown Development Authority for the
SEOPW CRA. These standards contain many
common sense practices for treating pavement
and landscaping on public streets. The
guidelines however reinforce a plan that is
heavily dependent upon a wide landscaped
pedestrian mall, an idea since widely
discredited nationally. The small segment of
the pedestrian mall that was constructed on
NW 91h Street in the late 1980's has already
been re -opened to traffic.
February 1989
The Historic Overtown Folklife Village.
Master Plan / Urban Design Guidelines.
This plan and accompanying guidelines were
prepared for the Black Archives, History and
Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc. by
Ronald E. Frazier & Associates. The plan
surveys a three block area of historic buildings
and offers architectural guidelines for
buildings.
1989
Downtown Miami Master Plan 1989
This document was prepared by the City of
Miami Department of Planning, Building, &
Zoning and the Downtown Development
Authority. This plan was officially adopted by
the City Commission in 1989 and continues to
guide decision making for the downtown.
May 1997
Master Plan for Historic Overtown Folklife
Village May 1997.
This plan was prepared by Duany, Plater-
Zyberk & Company as an update to the 1989
plan for the Black Archives. It offers new
implementation strategies for the previous
plan.
1998
NW 3rd Avenue Priority Business Corridor.
This document prepared by Bermello-Ajamil
& Partners, Inc for the SEOPW CRA
examines the physical existing conditions
along this historic commercial corridor.
Recommendations are also included to
stimulate business.
September 1999
City of Miami Community Redevelopment
A�ncy, Fiscal Year 2000 and 5 -Year Plan
2000-2004; Budgeted Projects and Programs
Prepared by the SEOPW CRA, this document
lays out the current five-year plan of programs
and expenditures. Projects and programs
from this document have been included in the
SEOPW Community Redevelopment Plan.
March 2000
Overtown; Redevelopment Area Design
Charrette Report
This document was prepared by Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council and
produced through a grant from the Florida
Department of Community Affairs to the
South Florida Regional Planning Council for
Eastward Ho initiatives. SFRPC brought in
the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
to provide a community design charrette
workshop and produce a detailed plan for all
of Overtown. Many local architects and
planners participated along with local property
owners and residents. The plan showed how
the community can redevelop over time with
small incremental improvements and
reinvestment, unlike typical grand schemes.
Unfortunately the plan failed to capture the
excitement needed in the investment
community and official circles, and is
perceived by some members of the
community as the latest in a string of broken
promises.
March 2000
Housing Needs and Potential of the
Overtown / Park West Area
This document was prepared by Reinhold P.
Wolff Economic Research, Inc. for South
Florida Partnership Office Fannie Mae. It is a
market housing study.

Overtown: A Look Back, Connections to the
Future
This plan was prepared by Urban Design
Associates on behalf of the Collins Center for
Public Policy, Inc and the Overtown Civic
Partnership. The document analyzes the
existing conditions and shows design
alternatives for "Downtown Overtown," the
core area of Overtown.
November 2003
Miami at Midnieht
This report was prepared by Thomas F.
Gustafson, P.A. to examine the use of narrow
gauge rail modality in the SEOPW and OMNI
CRA areas and to suggest locations for liner
buildings and related parking structures. The
report provides a basis for requesting
transportation trust funds and to develop such
improvements as a community intermodal
system.

Appendices 5
Appendix C
School Impact Analysis for
the SEOPW CRA
Redevelopment Plan
This Impact Analysis has been performed
to examine the impact of the CRA
Community Redevelopment Plan on the
public school system in Miami -Dade County.
This analysis is projecting a total
redevelopment of all properties within the
SEOPW CRA area as if almost all of the area
were to be built out today using the current
zoning code. This scenario is not likely to
occur because the eventual redevelopment will
happen gradually over a long time, and many
of the existing structures will remain.
However, this is the best approach to examine
possible problems that can be avoided over
the next few years as properties do get
redeveloped.
Approach:
Each City block within the CRA was
numbered. (See attached map) The zoning for
each block was cross-referenced. A
spreadsheet was generated that lists each
block, corresponding gross square footages,
6 Appendices
and the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for
each zoning district. The spreadsheet
generates the approximate number of dwelling
units with the assumption that the average
apartment size is 1,250 square feet of space.
This dwelling unit size is from a recent analysis
by a developer for a project in Overtown. The
columns on the right of the spreadsheet
separate out the number of possible dwelling
units that occur in each of the school districts
provided by Miami -Dade County Public
Schools (M-DCPS). There is one high school
that serves the SEOPW CRA, two middle
schools, and three elementary schools.
A second scenario:
While examining the FAR, it became
apparent that a developer could build smaller
units and stay within the maximum density
allowed in each zoning district. Therefore a
second spreadsheet was prepared that removes
the FAR limitations and estimates the possible
number of units using the maximum density
allowed. The SD -6, and SD -16 zones do not
specify a maximum density, so for those areas
we used the first scenario (with FAR) to
estimate the number of units on those blocks.
This second scenario suggests that more
dwelling units are possible if the controlling
factor becomes the maximum density instead
of the FAR. There was no analysis prepared
to determine if a developer could maximize
the density within the FAR limitations.
Findings:
Using M-DCPS's equations to estimate
the number of students for each school, the
new capacity is compared with the existing
capacity as reported in M-DCPS's Region IV
FISH Design Capacity (Permanent +
Relocatable). The comparison suggests the
following:
Booker T. 1Vashington High School.•
Scenario 1 reveals 3,060 new high school
students would be added to the neighborhood,
putting the high school at 202% of its current
capacity. This reveals that another high school
of a similar size would need to be added, or
the school would need to double its current
student capacity, by renovation or additions to
the existing school. Scenario 2 reveals 6,278
new high school students, requiring much
more capacity. Booker T. Washington HS is
presently under utilized. It can accommodate
approximately 1,000 additional students before
exceeding M-DCPS's acceptable threshold of
115%.
Citrus Grove Middle School.•
Only a small portion of the SEOPW CRA area
lies within the Citrus Grove Middle School
district. Scenario 1 (by FAR) reveals 35 new
middle school students could be added to the
school. Scenario 2 (by maximum density)
reveals 150 new middle school students.
Without any new students, Citrus Grove
currently has a capacity problem at 151%
utilization. More capacity is currently needed
at Citrus Grove Middle School. The utilization
becomes a concern to the School Board when
it increases above 115%.
Jose de Diego Middle School.-
The majority of the SEOPW CRA area
lies within the Jose de Diego Middle School
district. Scenario 1 reveals 2,603 new middle
school students could be added to the
neighborhood. Scenario 2 reveals 5,318 new
middle school students. This is a significant
number of new students. Without any new
students, Jose de Diego currently has a slight
capacity problem at 119% utilization. Scenario
1 creates a capacity utilization of 342% and
Scenario 2 creates it at 575%. Jose de Diego
Middle School needs to be increased in size
immediately for more capacity. Another
middle school should be planned now if it
isn't already.
Paul Dunbar Elementary School.-
Only a small portion of the SEOPW CRA
area lies within the Paul Dunbar Elementary
School district. Scenario 1 reveals 129 new
elementary school students could be added to
the school. Scenario 2 reveals 451 new
elementary school students. It appears that
new development within the SEOPW CRA
will cause minimal capacity problems at Paul
Dunbar Elementary School. With 451 new
students from the unlikely Scenario 2, the
capacity is at 119% utilization.
Phillis 1Vheatley Elementary School.-
Scenario 1 reveals 925 new elementary
school students could be added to the school.
Scenario 2 reveals 1,768 new elementary
school students. There appears to be no
capacity problems at Phillis Wheatley
Elementary School.
Scenario 1 reveals 925 new elementary
school students would be added to the Phillis
Wheatley Elementary school district, putting
the school at 209% of its current capacity of
655 students. This reveals that another
elementary school of a similar size would need
to be added, or the school would need to
more than double its current student capacity.
Scenario 2 reveals 1,768 new elementary
school students. If this much redevelopment
were to occur, an additional Elementary
School will be needed for the neighborhood.
Phillis Wheatley Elementary is presently under
utilized. It can accommodate approximately
310 additional students before exceeding M-
DCPS's acceptable threshold of 115%.
Frederick Douglass Elementary School.•
A greater portion of the SEOPW CRA
area lies within the Frederick Douglass
Elementary School district. Scenario 1 reveals
3,800 new elementary school students could
be added to the school. Scenario 2 reveals
7,841 new elementary school students. Most
of these new students would be living in Park
West, where the development potential is very
large. If Park West develops in a manner
similar to Brickell Avenue, many of the
households will then be part-time residents,
professionals without children, or parents who
send their children to charter schools or
private schools. If this is the case, then the
actual number of students for public schools
will be reduced from the projected amount in
this study. With both scenario projections,
additional elementary schools will be needed
in the neighborhood. Frederick Douglass
Elementary can accommodate approximately
414 additional students before exceeding M-
DCPS's acceptable threshold of 115%.
This study was prepared by Dozer, Kohl & Partners
in preparation for the SEOPI-V CRA Community
Redevelopment Plan, October 2003.
