GENERAL PROVISIONS AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 2.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT 2.1.1 Title and Purpose a. This Code shall be known as the Miami 21 Code of the City of Miami, Florida. This Code is declared to be in accord with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, as required by the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Section 163.3161 et seq., Florida Statutes (the "Comprehensive Plan"). A primary purpose of this Code is to implement the Comprehensive Plan. b. It is further the purpose of the Miami 21 Code to promote the public health, safety, morals, convenience, comfort, amenities, pro Arity, and general welfare of the City and to provide a wholesome, serviceable, attractive community, including without limitation protection of the environ ent, nservation of land, energy and natural resources; improved mobili icient use of public funds; greater health benefits of a pedestriKe, en ; historic preservation; provision of recreational and open spaces;n sprawl; and improvement of the built environment and human habit c. To further the goals and objectives of Co prehensive Plan and the purpose of this Code, the City is divided in s ones ("T -Zones") of such number, characteristics, area, comm "" ty p ose, adaptability, or use as will accomplish the goals and obi e Comprehensive Plan and this Code. 2.1.2 Intent The Miami 21 Cod is inte ed to advance the interests of both conservation and development wh r onding to the existing conditions of the City, its regional context, a is n al atures, infrastructure and Buildings. a. The con ati goals include: 1. Preserving Neighborhoods, Historical Resources and the natural environment 2. Improving the relationship between low Density Residential neighborhoods and adjacent Commercial Corridors with appropriate transitions of Density and Height following the theory of the Transect 3. Increasing access to the natural environment through the Baywalk, the Riverwalk, the north -south Greenway, and new Parks 4. Conserving energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions through improved Thoroughfare connectedness to encourage walkability, bicycling and transit use 5. Increasing tree canopy 6. Encouraging green Buildings 11.3 MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 b. The development goals include: 1. Maintaining the future growth capacity of the City core to ensure its preeminence as the transit -oriented, pedestrian -friendly focus for the region's economic, civic and cultural activities 2. Rebuilding the City's commercial Corridors to function as Mixed -Use, transit - oriented, walkable centers for adjacent Residential Neighborhoods 3. Ensuring that private Development contributes to increased infrastructure capacity, and through building embellishes a pedestrian -friendly public realm of highest ambient quality 4. Establishing a rational process for succession6grth'areas identified for density and growth 2.1.3 Transect Principles So The Miami 21 Code is intended to encou e t evolution of a settlement pattern based on the organizational principle sect. The Transect is defined as a geographical cross-section that e as u e of environments. Applied to the human or the built environmen ect is used to identify and organize a continuum of the physical envir men nging from the least to the most urban. Transect planning creat c . .ated, integrated and harmonious environments, based on the arrangeme f all the components to support locational character. Within the range of urban contexts, each different type of location, called a Transect Zone, has devet Function, Intensity and Disposition appropriate to the location, a inte s he details of the corresponding public realm. To ensure this integration 1 Code controls development on Lots as well as establishes guidelines e tailing of public right-of-way. For example, narrow streets with open swale ind their place in neighborhoods of suburban character, while wide streets with e lined sidewalks accompany Commercial Development in more intense urban areas. The Transect encourages the making of places that build on historic character and that evolve over time. This evolution, with the principles enumerated below guiding growth or reduction in Density and Intensity, is called succession. Successional change emerges from a vision of the larger urban context and appropriate transitions across Transect Zones. The City of Miami's urban context is comprised of a series of Neighborhoods, Corridors, urban centers, and Districts, each with its own arrangement of Transect Zones. In all cases the goal of transit -oriented, pedestrian -friendly, Mixed -Use urbanism shall guide the arrangement of Transect Zones, Thoroughfares, Buildings and landscape. The specific design of each component should be appropriate to its Transect Zone, as provided in this Code. MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 Transect Zones are sequential in Intensity: successional zoning changes shall only be permitted sequentially and respecting transitions across Abutting Transect Zones as provided in Article 7. Transect Zones manifest a range of responses to natural and urban conditions. As described in Article 5, Transect Zones T1, T2 and T3, the least urban, emphasize the presence of the natural environments. Transect Zones T4, T5 and T6, D1, D2 and D3 prioritize the built environment. Specific to Natural (T1), Rural (T2) and Sub -Urban (T3) Zones, impermeable surface shall be minimized and confined to the ratio of Lot Coverage by Building specified in Article 5. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable state or federal law, storm water management on Thoroughfares may be accompli ed through retention and percolation, channeled by curbside swales, or throughu round storm drainage channeled by raised curbs. Specific to General Urban (T4), Urban Center the extent not inconsistent with applicable sta urbanized areas should transition to take pre except Parks, recreation and natural f Thoroughfares and Lots shall be impleme drainage channeled by raised curbs h required on the individual Lots. a eab Lot Coverage by Building specifi 5 (T5Oer rMn Core (T6) Zones, to r law, the continuity of the e e the natural environment, L orm water management on d p arily through underground storm shall be no retention or detention E ce shall be confined to the ratio of and Article 8. v- 2.1.3.1 The City - Guiding Princ I a. The City should retain it atural infrastructure and visual character derived from its location an^Ljote, including topography, landscape and coastline. b. GrowtliFA-17W#AgLe@Would encourage Infill and redevelopment. c. New Devopment should be structured to reinforce a pattern of Neighborhoods and urban enters, focusing growth at transit nodes rather than along Corridors. d. Transportation Corridors should be planned and reserved in coordination with land Use. e. Green Corridors should be encouraged and developed to enhance and connect the urbanized areas. The City should include a framework of transit, pedestrian, and bicycle systems that provide alternatives to automobile use. g. A diversity of land use should be distributed throughout the City to enable a variety of economic activity, workplace, residence, recreation and civic activity. h. Affordable and Workforce Housing should be distributed throughout the City to match job opportunities and to avoid concentrations of poverty. 11.5 MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 The City should expand and enhance transit opportunities and connections throughout the City. 2.1.3.2 The Community - Guiding Principles a. Neighborhoods and urban centers should be the preferred pattern of Development and Transect Zones emphasizing single use should be the exception. b. Neighborhoods and Urban centers should be compact, pedestrian -oriented and Mixed -Use. Density and Intensity of Use should relate to degree of transit service. A� c. The ordinary activities of daily living should occur wit w ing distance of most dwellings, allowing independence to those who d9,jk "v - d. Interconnected networks of ThoroughfareftRoWb4designed to disperse and reduce the length of automobile trips and t e u e walking and bicycling. e. A range of Open Space, including Pa S ares and Playgrounds, should be distributed within Neighborhoods nters. f. Appropriate building Densi nd uses should occur within walking distance of transit stops. f. Civic, Institutional an C rcial activity should be embedded in Mixed -Use urban centers, not isol in remote single -use complexes. g. Schools should be located to enable children to walk or bicycle safely to school. New schools should not be located on primary Thoroughfares. h. Within Neighborhoods, a range of housing types and price levels should accommodate diverse ages and incomes. 2.1.3.3 The Block and the Building - Guiding Principles a. Buildings and landscaping should contribute to the physical definition of Thoroughfares as civic places. b. Development should adequately accommodate vehicles while respecting the pedestrian and the spatial form of public space. c. The design of Thoroughfares and Buildings should reinforce safe environments, but not at the expense of accessibility. Designs should incorporate principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). d. Architecture and landscape design should grow from local climate, topography, history, and building practice. W MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 e. Buildings should allow their inhabitants to experience the geography and climate through energy efficient design. Civic Buildings and public gathering places should be located to reinforce community identity and support self-government. g. Civic Buildings should be distinctive and appropriate to a role more important than the other Buildings that constitute the fabric of the City. Preservation and renewal of historic resources should be facilitated to affirm the continuity of the community. i. Harmonious and orderly change and Development urban areas should be enabled through a form -based zoning code that guides regulates change. 2.2 APPLICABILITY 2.2.1 Generally So 2.2.1.1 This Code replaces the Zoning Ord' he City of Miami, also known as Ordinance 11000 except that cti 6 -27 Midtown Special District" is hereby retained and incorpor endix C hereto and all provisions of Ordinance 11000 referred to i Sec 627 shall be applied to Midtown Special District, providing howev e SD -27 Special District the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board and c related to appeals thereto set out by this Miami 21 Code shall replace the ing Board and procedures related to appeals thereto in Ordinance 11000.

In such cases, there shall be t sfnsity or Intensity of Development Capacity between Transect Zones. are assembled into one ownership, the side or rear Setbacks sharing the pe ine may be eliminated. Lot assembly shall require a Unity -of -Title ac le e City Attorney. Contiguous Lots in one ownership, as of the effective a is Code, may be developed as one Lot in excess of the maximum Lot size. T4 is adjacent to T5 or T6 Lots may provide parking for adjacent Lot uses, and sh follow all other T4 requirements including Liner requirements. Acce ch parking shall be provided only through the T40, T5 or T6 Lot. 3.3.2 In Transect Z T6, Cl, CS, D1, D2, and D3, buildable sites shall Enfront a vehicular Thoro fare or a Pedestrian Passage, with at least one Principal Frontage. 3.3.3 Lots facing Thoroughfares on more than one (1) side shall have designated Principal Frontage(s) and may have Secondary Frontage(s). Unless otherwise designated by a Special Area Plan, a Principal Frontage shall be that facing the Thoroughfare of higher pedestrian importance or intensity (i.e., traffic volume, number of lanes, etc.), as determined by the Planning Department upon request by the Zoning Administrator. a. If two Thoroughfares are of equal importance each Frontage shall be considered a Principal Frontage. Lots with two or more Frontages may consider other non -fronting Property Lines as sides. b. Lots shall have at least one (1) Principal Frontage, except waterfront Lots shall have at least two (2) Principal Frontages, one of which shall be the waterfront and shall conform to Waterfront Setback Standards. For Waterfront Setbacks, see Section 3.11. 111.3 MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 3. GENERAL TO ZONES AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 Where an existing lot of record is located adjacent to a Thoroughfare in a manner that creates an irregular Frontage such that the side or rear yards cannot be determined as with a regular lot, the Zoning Administrator shall determine, by Waiver, the yard and setbacks for the lot as fits the circumstances of the case. In addition to general Waiver requirements, the Zoning Administrator shall consider the minimum dimensions and methods of measurement as generally required for either a side or rear yard in the transect, determining which shall apply by the relation of the portion of the lot on which the yard is to be located to the adjoining lot, with due regard to the orientation of structures and buildable areas on each lot. 3.3.4 For the purposes of this Code, Lots are divided into Layers which control Development on the Lot. 3.3.5 Where the property to be developed abuts an existing Building, a Waiver may be granted so that the proposed Building matches the dominant Setback of the block and its Context. 3.3.6 For new Buildings in Established Setbacks Areas, the Established Setback shall be maintained.

The referenced tables provide the maximum allowable Densities. Intensity shall be calculated in terms of Floor Lot Ratio. The buildable Density or Intensity on any particular site will be affected by other regulations in this Code and thus the stated maximums of this Miami 21 Code may exceed the actual Capacity that a site can sustain when other regulations of this Code are applied to the site. The inability to reach the maximum Density or Intensity because of the necessity to conform to the other regulations of this Code shall not constitute hardship for purposes of a Variance. 11.

The Public Frontages that pass from one Transect Zone to another should be adjusted accordingly. d. Bicycles are a sustainable and viable mode of transportation and recreation in the City of Miami. Bicycle use of Thoroughfares should be as follows: Bicycles and vehicles may share use of lanes on all Thoroughfares. Thoroughfares that have sufficient paving width to accommodate bicyclists' safety should include dedicated Bicycle Lanes. Greenways, waterfront walks and other Civic Spaces should include Bicycle usage . 111.13 MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 3. GENERAL TO ZONES AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 e. A City-wide bicycle plan may designate an interconnected network serving bicyclists with a series of marked routes that include Bicycle Lanes as well as Bicycle Routes that give bicycles priority, such as those Thoroughfares which parallel major corridors or include major corridors which can be reconfigured to limit conflicts between vehicles and bicycles. Pedestrian comfort should be a primary consideration of Thoroughfare design and dimensions. Design conflict between vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian movement should be decided in favor of the pedestrian. 3.8.2 Thoroughfares a.

THOROUGHFARES This article describes the guidelines for development of Thoroughfares throughout the City. Itsupplements the design standards adopted in the City of Miami Manual of Engineering Standards for Design and Construction, maintained in its most current form at the City of Miami Department of Public Works. Where these guidelines conflict with the Manual, the standards of the Manual shall apply. The urban landscape is characterized by a set of interdependent elements that create a sense of place. These include Thoroughfare type, Building type, Frontage type, and theform and disposition of landscape and lighting. Thoroughfares provide the City with both the major part of public Open Space as well as moving lanes for vehicles, bicycles and transit. A Thoroughfare is associated with a particular type of movement, and is endowed with two attributes: movement type and character. The movement type of the Thoroughfare refers to the number of vehicles that can move safely through a segment within a given time period; it is physically manifested by the number of lanes' and their width, by the centerline radius, the curb radius, and the super -elevation of the pavement. Thee haracter of the Thoroughfare refers to its suitability as a setting for pedestrian activities and is phy 'call anifested by the associated Frontage types as determined by location within the TranSE __ _ Thoroughfares can be assigned appropriately to Transeo*Qn�j Jth calibrated Right -of -Way widths, movement types, design speed, number of travel langoffiftvVqont width, curb radius and Verge type. In Zones T3 and T4, D1, D2 and D3, generally si 'V&r at the edge of the Right -of -Way. In Zones T5 and T6, sidewalks occur at the edge of*e. ht - and are given the additional dimensions of the 10 foot setback in the First Layer as a The following additional assum oroughfares shown here: • To clear sight lines for drivi Visibility Triangles shall be required as described in Article 3, Section 3.8.4.1 • Pavement widths a asured inside of curb to inside of curb. • Curb and tter nge from 1'-6" for City Thoroughfares to 2'-0" for some County Thoroughf44 • Parking spa an e from T-0" to 9'-0" including pan; they should be wider on higher speed Thoroughfare ut may be restricted by existing Right -of -Way dimensions. • Right turns ma be taken from the parking lane. • Tree spacing are 22' on center to match parallel parking or 25' on center to match Lot Line spacing. • Tree planters have a minimum dimension of 4' x 4', increased where possible to a 4' x 8' dimension. • Bulb -outs may be added where Thoroughfare widths are wide and design speed high, or where sidewalks are narrow, in order to facilitate pedestrian safety. Thoroughfares must evolve with the needs of the City. As Miami continues to grow, a Thoroughfare may change in character reflecting new density, or conversely, a return to an historic dimension. For instance, a continuous lawn planter may be replaced with individual tree wells for additional sidewalk space, or a wide neighborhood street may be narrowed to control traffic intrusion. The accommodation of bicycles and transit requires detailed response to the existing Thoroughfare condition and thus is not illustrated specifically here.

A.24 MIAMI 21 APPENDIX B: WATERFRONT DESIGN GUIDELINES AS ADOPTED — OCTOBER 2009 General Principles Public access waterfront walkways shall: 1. Feel public. No one should feel as if he or she is intruding on private property. The public should feel welcome and at ease to move along the entire length of the waterfront. Signage should clearly establish the public's right to use the walkway. 2. Be usable. Young and old, handicapped and joggers, lovers, fishermen, business and men and women, everyone should find the waterfront usable. Potential conflicts between active and passive users should be prevented through segregation of waterfront walk use zones. (See Design Standards below). 3. Provide visual access. The attraction is the water. All landscaping furniture, lighting, guard rails and planters should be subordinated to enhance maximum visibility to the water. Simplicity of design is preferred. The views of adjacent private development should not be obstructed. 4. Enhance visual quality. Parking and service areas mu walkway. Materials, color and forms should complernE 5.

Deviations to the bulkhead requirements may be granted by the Director of Public Works to construct bulkheads at a height above the standard NGVD set by the City due to a justifiable request. Any deviations from the City standard bulkhead elevation where a waterfront walkway is being proposed would require the property owner to construct, on the applicant's property, a connecting transition at a consistent A.D.A. compliant width and grade to the waterfront walkway on adjacent properties. All requests for a deviation to the mandated bulkhead elevation shall be made in writing to the Director of Public Works and shall include all appropriate architectural and engineering or other documentation needed to make a determination.

M.; MIAMI 21 APPENDIX C: MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 SD -27 MIDTOWN MIAMI SPECIAL DISTRICT The objective of this District is to promote neighborhood redevelopment through medium to high density mixed use development. Due to intensity of infill development and redevelopment in the SD -27 Districts, population and the overall level of commercial and retail activity will greatly increase. Combined with the proximity of the SD -27 Districts to downtown and other revitalizing neighborhoods, convenient and reliable transportation along the Midtown Miami Special District can connect the neighborhoods, jobs, residences and activity centers and expand greater revitalization. The character of the district is to include a wide range of pedestrian oriented activities that would facilitate a vibrant mixed-use community setting, permitting development of flexible live -work spaces as determined by market forces, including rn use loft development. Ground level activities and uses with strong pedestrian orientation a m ated to front streets to generate a lively pedestrian street life. The District is intended for medium scale projects of dive it ural design. Buildings will be restricted as to height, setbacks, and will require hab t u for portions of the building closest to the street. Unified landscaping, paving, stre u u ,storefront design, signage and building facade guidelines, as well as incentives t w Id allow for the rehabilitation of significant historic resources. For the purpose of the SD 27, the following #kfin ns al ply: Active Uses: The principle component of e 7 district is ground floor active uses which promote pedestrian activity. An act e i use that provides a public entrance from the street with an interior use that se a general public. This may include retail, office, educational facilities, entertainment, a live -work. Big -Box retail is defined as `' s' a retail store comprised of at least twenty thousand (20,000) square feet. Build -To Line: An ali Ment e5 ablished a certain distance from the base building line to a line 9 g along which a building shall be constructed. Build -to dimensions are established in Sections 627.1.7 and 627.1.8 for each street frontage and require that primary building frontages (excluding colonnades, arcades and awnings) be constructed at the dimension provided for a minimum of x (x) percent of the lineal building frontage. Pursuant to Sections 627.1.7 and 627.1.8, colonnades and arcades may encroach the specified build -to line provided a minimum unobstructed pedestrian space of five (5) feet is provided. Colonnades and arcades shall not encroach upon the base building line. Furthermore, Build -To lines are subject to compliance with the City of Miami Vision Clearance requirements of Article 908. Gateway: The SD -27 District promotes the design of buildings as gateway structures by providing greater allowable height at strategic street intersections within the district. The gateway sites shall be as follows: (1) The Southeast corner of the intersection of North Miami Avenue and Northeast 36th Street; (2) The Southwest corner of the intersection of Northeast 36th Street and Northeast 2nd Avenue: and (3) The Southeast corner of the intersection of Northeast 34th Street and Northeast 1st Place. C.1 MIAMI 21 APPENDIX C: MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 Liner Uses: Building uses that serve to conceal uses such as parking garages and service areas. When liner uses contain ground floor space, such space shall be designed to accommodate retail and/or other uses that promote pedestrian traffic and shall have entrances directly accessible from a public sidewalk or open space. Live -work: Live -work describes residential units that have a commercial and/or office component accessed through an external street entrance. The intent of this use is to provide efficient housing with the opportunity for workspace that can contribute active uses at the ground floor. Home occupations pursuant to the provisions of 906.5.2 shall also qualify as live - work, except that additional parking, defined in 906.5.2.f. shall not be required. Mixed Use: The SD -27 District promotes multiple uses within the same lot and on adjoining lots by permitting multiple principal uses within the underlying district. A ' ed use building or parcel exists when there is more than one use and must include residential or live -work use. When the majority of building area is dedicated to uses other than residen I a or live -work uses, at least ten (10) percent of the total FAR of the building shall be to o residential and/or live -work uses in order to be classified as a mixed-use buildin F urposes of calculating mixed uses, live -work uses shall be allowed to count to si ntial or commercial uses, but shall not be allowed to count towards more than one use. Open Space: Any parcel of land or water, excludi or open to the sky and designed and intended f el the general public and may include p Additionally, canopy trees and large palms way in accordance with the design stand ds (400) square feet and one hundred t is substantially free of structures oth t uctL space. bb lic ght of way, that is at ground level on use of the residents, tenant and ear pa plazas, and landscape areas. n pedestrian zones of the public right -of - all respectively each count as four hundred 75) square feet of open space.

The intent of the district is (1) promote the efficient use of land resources through compact building forms, infill dev pment, and moderation in street and parking standards in order to reduce automobile traffic and promote multi -modal transportation; (2) promote the creation of a Miami midtown environment through intensive urban mixed-use development with a twenty-four hour activity pattern; (3) Enhance the pedestrian environment and connectivity of the existing surrounding areas by extending the city street grid through the district; and (4) Provide intensive new housing opportunities needed to sustain future commercial growth and commuter transit facilities. To this end, the district promotes streetscapes and mixed-use buildings designed to provide pedestrians with lively, interesting, well -landscaped and highly usable public spaces with a maximum interrelationship with ground floor building uses. Concerning building uses and overall buildable area, mixed-use development is encouraged by providing greater floor area ratios and overall building height than that of single use buildings. Furthermore, additional height is provided for on sites that abut significant open space and/or are designated as strategically located visual gateways as defined in Section 627. Yard and setback areas are minimal and are required to be developed as an integral part of the overall C.3 MIAMI 21 APPENDIX C: MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 pedestrian streetscape. Ground floor build -to lines are provided in order to establish a continuous building frontage that enhances and provides spatial definition for the urban streetscapes. Although no specific requirements are contained, it is further intended that buildings be designed utilizing environmentally sensitive methods, including, but not limited to, passive and active solar techniques, green -roofs, the utilization of environmentally sustainable materials and efficient mechanical systems. 627.1.2 Effect of SD -27.1 district designation.

Intent. The Midtown Miami West district regulations are intended to provide a method to allow for planning initiatives that achieve a unique or innovative development that is not otherwise provided for in the zoning ordinance. These planning initiatives may include, but are not limited to, Smart Growth as defined in Section 627. The standards and procedures of this district are C.13 MIAMI 21 APPENDIX C: MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT AS ADOPTED - OCTOBER 2009 intended to promote flexible design and permit planned diversification and integration of uses and structures, with limitations and regulations as deemed necessary to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. Design standards supplement this ordinance and provide more detailed clarification. This district is of special and substantial public interest given its proximity to Downtown Miami and the Omni Area, the Design District, Miami Beach, the Wynwood Neighborhood and to future proposed commuter transit facilities within the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) Corridor. The intent of the district is to: (1) Promote the creation of a Miami midtown environment through intensive urban retail mixed-use development with a twenty-four hour activity pattern; and (2) Enhance the pedestrian environment and connectivity of the existing surrounding areas by extending the city street grid through the district. To this end, the district promotes streetscapes and mixed-use buildings designed to provide pedestrians with lively, interesting, well - landscaped and highly usable public spaces with a maximum interrelationship with ground floor building uses. Concerning building uses and overall buildable area, mixed-use dev ent is encouraged by providing greater floor area ratios and overall building height than at ingle use buildings. Furthermore, additional height is provided for sites that abut si t n space and/or are designated as strategically located visual gateways as defined o 27. Yard and setback areas are minimal and are required to be developed as a&'e,4of the overall pedestrian streetscape. Ground floor build -to lines are provided in oblish a continuous building frontage that enhances and provides spatial definition fstreetscape. Although no specific requirements are contained her it i further intended that buildings be designed utilizing environmentally sensitive met ing, but not limited to, passive and active solar techniques, green -roofs, the uti ti of e vir entally sustainable materials and efficient mechanical systems. 627.2.2.

Rebuilding the City's commercial Corridors to function as Mixed -U , transit - oriented, walkable centers for adjacent Residential Neighborhoods 3. Ensuring that private Development contributes to increase ucture capacity, and through building embellishes a pedestrian-fri b is realm of highest ambient quality 4. Establishing a rational process for successional growth as identified for density and growth 2.1.3 Transect Principles The Miami 21 Code is intended to encoura e volution of a settlement pattern based on the organizational principles of t sect. The Transect is defined as a geographical cross-section that reveals ence of environments. Applied to the human or the built environment, th ct is used to identify and organize a continuum of the physical environ ging from the least to the most urban. Transect planning creates 'fled, i ated and harmonious environments, based on the arrangement of the nts to support locational character. Within the range of urba ntexts, nt type of location, called a Transect Zone, has developOLNNFLTinctio I t y and Disposition appropriate to the location, and Integrae detail oth corresponding public realm. To ensure this integration, the ' mCod Int development on Lots as well as establishes guidelines for t tailing o pu right-of-way. For example, narrow streets with open sw le eir Tleighborhoods of suburban character, while wide streets w line ks accompany Commercial Development in more intens areas. T sect encourages the making of places that build on historic character and volve over time. This evolution, with the principles enumerated below guiding th or reduction in Density and Intensity, is called succession. Successional ange emerges from a vision of the larger urban context and appropriate transitions across Transect Zones. The City of Miami's urban context is comprised of a series of Neighborhoods, Corridors, urban centers, and Districts, each with its own arrangement of Transect Zones. In all cases the goal of transit -oriented, pedestrian -friendly, Mixed -Use urbanism shall guide the arrangement of Transect Zones, Thoroughfares, Buildings and landscape. The specific design of each component should be appropriate to its Transect Zone, as provided in this Code. Transect Zones are sequential in Intensity: successional zoning changes shall only be permitted sequentially and respecting transitions across Abutting Transect Zones as provided in Article 7. W MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS PUBLIC HEARING -SECOND READING 2009 Transect Zones manifest a range of responses to natural and urban conditions. As described in Article 5, Transect Zones T1, T2 and T3, the least urban, emphasize the presence of the natural environments. Transect Zones T4, T5 and T6, D1, D2 and D3 prioritize the built environment. Specific to Natural (T1), Rural (T2) and Sub -Urban (T3) Zones, impermea a surface shall be minimized and confined to the ratio of Lot Coverage by Buildinsp ified in Article 5. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable state or�eM entiostorm water management on Thoroughfares may be accomplished t Q� a n and percolation, channeled by curbside swales, or through undergr orm drainage channeled by raised curbs.

THOROUGHFARES V111.2 MIAMI 21 PUBLIC HEARING -SECOND READING 2009 8.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION ARTICLE 8. THOROUGHFARES This article describes the guidelines for development of Thoroughfares throughout the City. Itsupplements the design standards adopted in the City of Miami Manual of Engineering Standards for Design and Construction, maintained in its most current form at the City of Miami Department of Public Works. Where these guidelines conflict with the Manual, the standards of the Manual shall apply. The urban landscape is characterized by a set of interdependent elements that cre a ense of place. These include Thoroughfare type, Building type, Frontage type, and the form apdnoflandscape and lighting. Thoroughfares provide the City with both the major part of p Space as well as moving lanes for vehicles, bicycles and transit. A Thoroughfare is associ particular type of movement, and is endowed with two attributes: movement type and cmovement type of the Thoroughfare refers to the number of vehicles that can move hrough a segment within a given time period; it is physically manifested by the number o d their width, by the centerline radius, the curb radius, and the super -elevation of the pave a character of the Thoroughfare refers to its suitability as a setting for pedestrian activities is ysically manifested by the associated Frontage types as determined by location within the Tra e A Thoroughfares can be assigned appropriately to movement types, design speed, number of travj In Zones T3 and T4, D1, D2 and D3, gei T5 and T6, sidewalks occur at the edg' the 10 foot setback in the First Layer a ;t'Zones, with calibrated Right -of -Way widths, pavement width, curb radius and Verge type. Iks occur at the edge of the Right -of -Way. In Zones O&ILPVay and are given the additional dimensions of The following additional assumStover% aw ghfares shown here: • To clear sight lin for avers, i 'bit Nriangles shall be required as described in Article 3, Section 3.8.4.1 • Pavemen w are me in ide of curb to inside of curb. • Curb an may r�om 1'-6" for City Thoroughfares to 2'-0" for some County Thoro s. • Par aces range from T-0" to 9'-0" including pan; they should be wider on higher speed T fares but may be restricted by existing Right -of -Way dimensions. • turns may be taken from the parking lane. e spacing are 22' on center to match parallel parking or 25' on center to match Lot Line spacing. • Tree planters have a minimum dimension of 4' x 4', increased where possible to a 4' x 8' dimension. • Bulb -outs may be added where Thoroughfare widths are wide and design speed high, or where sidewalks are narrow, in order to facilitate pedestrian safety. Thoroughfares must evolve with the needs of the City. As Miami continues to grow, a Thoroughfare may change in character reflecting new density, or conversely, a return to an historic dimension. For instance, a continuous lawn planter may be replaced with individual tree wells for additional sidewalk space, or a wide neighborhood street may be narrowed to control traffic intrusion. The accommodation of bicycles and transit requires detailed response to the existing Thoroughfare condition and thus is not illustrated specifically here.

A.24 MIAMI 21 APPENDIX B: WATERFRONT DESIGN GUIDELINES PUBLIC HEARING -SECOND READING 2009 General Principles Public access waterfront walkways shall: 1. Feel public. No one should feel as if he or she is intruding on private property. The public should feel welcome and at ease to move along the entire length of the waterfront. Signage should clearly establish the public's right to use the walkway. 2. Be usable. Young and old, handicapped and joggers, lovers, fishermen, bVs men and women, everyone should find the waterfront usable. Potential conflieen active and passive users should be prevented through segregation of waterfro use zones. (See Design Standards below). 3. Provide visual access. The attraction is the water. All landsc iture, lighting, guard rails and planters should be subordinated to enhance maxi u ility to the water. Simplicity of design is preferred. The views of adjacent riva development should not be obstructed. 4. Enhance visual quality. Parking and service areas risllpe completely screened from the walkway. Materials, color and forms should comt the natural shoreline environment. 5. Connect to other public areas. Public parkit stops, thoroughfares, midblock walkways, shopping areas, and publi a�ible plazas should connect to the waterfront. 6. Take advantage of waterfront setting. re pr oating and fishing activities should be incorporated into waterfront ns. Elev d ng areas, historically interpretive markers and signs are desiraN o t ac s he water to the land is encouraged. Bulkheads or Seawallso' 1.

Deviations to the bulkhead requirements may be granted by the Director of Public Works to construct bulkheads at a height above the standard NGVD set by the City due to a justifiable request. Any deviations from the City standard bulkhead elevation where a waterfront walkway is being proposed would require the property owner to construct, on the applicant's property, a connecting transition at a consistent A.D.A. compliant width and grade to the waterfront walkway on adjacent properties. All requests for a deviation to the mandated bulkhead elevation shall be made in writing to the Director of Public Works and shall include all appropriate architectural and engineering or other documentation needed to make a determination.

Due to intensity of infill development and redevelopment in the SD -27 Districts, population and the overall level of commercial and retail activity will greatly increase. Combined with the proximity of the SD -27 Districts to downtown and othe r .talizing neighborhoods, convenient and reliable transportation along the Midtown Mi;m istrict can connect the neighborhoods, jobs, residences and activity centers and greater revitalization. ^` v The character of the district is to include a wide range of pedestr r nted activities that would facilitate a vibrant mixed-use community setting, permitt' evelopment of flexible live -work spaces as determined by market forces, includ -use loft development. Ground level activities and uses with strong pedestrian oriItati are mandated to front streets to generate a lively pedestrian street life. The District is intended for medium scale projects of eiW architectural design. Buildings will be restricted as to height, setbacks, and will requirt#NNable uses for portions of the building closest to the street. Unified landscaping, paving urniture, storefront design, signage and building facade guidelines, as well asapK&1 hat would allow for the rehabilitation of significant historic resources. For the purpose of the SD 27, the folloonsl apply: Active Uses: The principle compor�E1 ,,of the Wict is ground floor active uses which �X ti promote pedestrian activity.

This may include retail, office, educational facilities, entert me , and\fe Big -Box retail is def ne( $, sing) t re comprised of at least twenty thousand (20,000) square feet. S Build -To Line: ment established a certain distance from the base building line to a line along whic ing shall be constructed. Build -to dimensions are established in Sections 627.1.7 an 7.1.8 for each street frontage and require that primary building frontages (exclu i nnades, arcades and awnings) be constructed at the dimension provided for a M' ' x (x) percent of the lineal building frontage. Pursuant to Sections 627.1.7 and 7 .8, olonnades and arcades may encroach the specified build -to line provided a minimum un structed pedestrian space of five (5) feet is provided. Colonnades and arcades shall not encroach upon the base building line. Furthermore, Build -To lines are subject to compliance with the City of Miami Vision Clearance requirements of Article 908. Gateway: The SD -27 District promotes the design of buildings as gateway structures by providing greater allowable height at strategic street intersections within the district. The gateway sites shall be as follows: (1) The Southeast corner of the intersection of North Miami Avenue and Northeast 36th Street; (2) The Southwest corner of the intersection of Northeast 36th Street and Northeast 2nd Avenue: and (3) The Southeast corner of the intersection of Northeast 34th Street and Northeast 1st Place. C.1 MIAMI 21 APPENDIX C: MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT PUBLIC HEARING -SECOND READING 2009 Liner Uses: Building uses that serve to conceal uses such as parking garages and service areas. When liner uses contain ground floor space, such space shall be designed to accommodate retail and/or other uses that promote pedestrian traffic and shall have entrances directly accessible from a public sidewalk or open space. Live -work: Live -work describes residential units that have a commercial auk,r office component accessed through an external street entrance. The intent of this use t rovide efficient housing with the opportunity for workspace that can contribute 4c' at the ground floor. Home occupations pursuant to the provisions of 906.5.2 shal I� alify as live - work, except that additional parking, defined in 906.5.2.f. shall not be requir Mixed Use: The SD -27 District promotes multiple uses within the sa d on adjoining lots by permitting multiple principal uses within the underlying distric use building or parcel exists when there is more than one use and must include resi n /or live -work use. When the majority of building area is dedicated to uses other tha res ntial and/or live -work uses, at least ten (10) percent of the total FAR of the building sh a dicated to residential and/or live -work uses in order to be classified as a mixed-use i in . For the purposes of calculating mixed uses, live -work uses shall be allowed to count ds residential or commercial uses, but shall not be allowed to count towards more than e. Open Space: Any parcel of land or water, e public right of way, that is at ground level or open to the sky and designed and int the common use of the residents, tenant and the general public and may include linearVrks, plazas, and landscape areas. Additionally, canopy trees and large palm nted destrian zones of the public right-of- way in accordance with the desig ndards II ectively each count as four hundred (400) square feet and one hundr v my -f' quare feet of open space. Open Space is substantially free of structure of r than rL. t _ s that contribute to the common use of the )ting any or all of the following principles: Iq V (1) Using lands moretNently through compact building forms, infill development, i and mod n street and parking standards in order to lessen land consumption and (5) (6) prese al resources and promote multi -modal transportation; Sup the location of stores, offices, residences, school, recreation spaces, and other p ilities within walking distance of each other in compact neighborhoods that are s ed to provide alternate opportunities for easier movement and interaction; Pr iding a variety of housing choices to create a diverse community; Supporting walking, cycling, and transit as attractive alternatives to driving; providing alternative routes that disperse rather than concentrate traffic congestion; lowering traffic speeds in neighborhoods; Connecting infrastructure and development decisions to minimize future costs by creating neighborhoods where more people use existing services and facilities; by integrating development and land use with transit routes and stations; and Improving the development standards review process and development standards so that developers are encouraged to apply the principles stated above. Story: A space in a building between the surface of any floor and the surface of the next floor above, or if there is no floor above, then the space between such floor and the ceiling or roof C.2 MIAMI 21 APPENDIX C: MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT PUBLIC HEARING -SECOND READING 2009 above.

Sec. 627.1 SD -27.1 Midtown Miami East Special District. ` The Midtown Miami East Special District area is bounded by Northea Street on the north and FEC greenway on the east. On the south, the area is by the centerline of Northeast 29th Street between the FEC Greenway and i oulevard and by the centerline of Northeast 34th Street between Midtown Bou eva and Buena Vista Avenue. On the west, the area is bounded by the centerline of Buena V' Av nue between Northeast 36th Street and Northeast 34th Street and by the cent i f Midtown Boulevard between Northeast 34th Street and Northeast 29th Street. 627.1.1 Intent. V The Midtown Miami East District regulationsnded to provide for a method to allow for planning initiatives that achieve unique o ive development not otherwise provided for in the zoning ordinance. These planning i s m clude, but are not limited to, Smart Growth as defined in Section 627. The st rds edures of this district are intended to promote flexibility and diversity in n and i I ned diversification and integration of uses and structures, with limitati regu o deemed necessary to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan d protec th p blic health, safety, and general welfare. The SD 27 Design Standards rove e m e ed clarification to this ordinance and are incorporated by reference. A /� This district is of sp l�fd su to a ublic interest given its proximity to Downtown Miami and the Omni Areeft esign D t, iami Beach, the Wynwood Neighborhood and to future proposea com transit racimies witnin the rioriaa Cast coast Kaiiway krtu1 uorriaor. i ne intent oeln t is to: (1) promote the efficient use of land resources through compact building development, and moderation in street and parking standards in order to reduceraffic and promote multi -modal transportation; (2) promote the creation of a M' ronment through intensive urban mixed-use development with atwenty-four ac ity pattern; (3) Enhance the pedestrian environment and connectivity of the existing Q, unding areas by extending the city street grid through the district; and (4) Provide intensive new housing opportunities needed to sustain future commercial growth and commuter transit facilities. To this end, the district promotes streetscapes and mixed-use buildings designed to provide pedestrians with lively, interesting, well -landscaped and highly usable public spaces with a maximum interrelationship with ground floor building uses. Concerning building uses and overall buildable area, mixed-use development is encouraged by providing greater floor area ratios and overall building height than that of single use buildings. Furthermore, additional height is provided for on sites that abut significant open space and/or are designated as strategically located visual gateways as defined in Section 627. Yard and setback areas are minimal and are required to be developed as an integral part of the overall C.3 MIAMI 21 APPENDIX C: MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT PUBLIC HEARING -SECOND READING 2009 pedestrian streetscape. Ground floor build -to lines are provided in order to establish a continuous building frontage that enhances and provides spatial definition for the urban streetscapes. Although no specific requirements are contained, it is further intended that buildings be designed utilizing environmentally sensitive methods, including, but not limited to, passive and active solar techniques, green -roofs, the utilization of environmentally sustainable m rials and efficient mechanical systems. 627.1.2 Effect of SD -27.1 district designation.
