Brickell West Study THE VISION OF MIAMI 21 • Through Miami 21, Miami's political leadership has provided the vision to lead Miami towards becoming a greener and sustainable World Class City for generations to come. • Miami 21 represents an opportunity to enhance the quality of the architecture, civic life and urban experience in the City. • This study reveals that the proposed T6-24 transect zone for the Brickell West neighborhood represents a lost opportunity to allow this neighborhood to achieve its full potential. b©i"ges+ associates. 2 architecture urban planning interior design 00 b©i"ges+ associates. The Context MIAMI'S URBAN CORE The Brickell West area is an integral part of the greater Brickell neighborhood. The area is bounded by downtown Miami, across the Miami River to the north, and 1-95 to the west, which serves as a buffer between this area and the Little Havana neighborhood on the other side of 1-95. Brickell West is ideal for development potential due to its location within the City's urban core and because of the area's existing transportation and infrastructure. There is no single-family housing in the area. 3 architecture urban planning interior design 00 b©i"ges+ associates. The Question MIAMI 21 ZONING CODE In studying MIAMI 21 and its T-6 24 transect zone, we have studied individual sites and reviewed the impact of this new code to the West Brickell Neighborhood. 1. The QUESTION becomes, why is the same intensity not being applied in the majority of the Brickell West neighborhood as the Brickell Village area to the east and the portion of Brickell West north of NW 7t" St.? 2. The City Planners should provide a CONISTENT T6-36 Transect Zone throughout the entire Brickell West area, while leaving the density as it exists. 0 architecture urban planning interior design 00 b©i"ges+ associates. The Why? MIAMI 21 ZONING CODE This study answers this question by offering a contrast in the proposed T-6 24 to the T-6 36 as of right designation, which is being proposed for the Brickell Village area, east of the Metro Rail tracks. 1. T6-36 will allow for a more efficient use of land. 2. Adequate infrastructure is present to support this intensity. 3. The T6-36 transect zone is consistent with the surrounding intensities to the east and north. 4. T6-36 makes perfect ECONOMIC and TRANSPORTATION PLANNNING sense. 5. It is good for the environment and complements the proposed "green building" and "Smart Growth" concepts of the Miami 21 code by condensing high growth near existing mass public transportation. 6. Suggested T6 -36a zone with an FLR of 12 provides a transition between Brickell to the East and 1-95 serves as a buffer zone to the west. 5 architecture urban planning interior design 4 l IE ` .7 - �i -pie.•. _ - [' f�.. �C" ..� "-A 1. i+.�:: �F. �., yifC. l •tet ,.W� I a , _ _ - 000 Aerial View — Brickell West associates. 7 architecture urban planning interior design 00 b©i"ges+ associates.

This zoning designation allows for high-quality projects in this significantly under-utilized area of the City. Allowing T6-36 for Brickell West produces multiple economic benefits, such as: 1. Economic development opportunities, which leads to significantly enhanced quality of life. 2. Provision of a significant investment opportunity in this area. 3. Creation of an economic engine to help induce sustainable growth. 4. Increased development fees and tax base for the City. 5. An increase in number of permanent jobs in Brickell West.

Brickell West Study PLANNING PRINCIPLES Allowing consistent INTENSITY in the Brickell West area is a SMART GROWTH principle, and is consistent with the City of Miami's Comprehensive Plan as well, as the Purpose and Intent of Miami 21. "New development should be structured to reinforce a pattern of Neighborhoods and Urban Centers, focusing growth at transit nodes rather than along Corridors." — from the draft of the Miami 21 Code 2.1.3.1.c. 27 architecture urban planning interior design �J b©i"ges+ associates. r +t f '� 7 ' dam. 2 Aerial Photograph — Miami -Dade County architecture urban planning interior design AN Brickell West Study SMART GROWTH Smart Growth emerged as a reaction against suburban sprawl, and it includes the following principles: 1. Strengthen and direct development towards existing communities 2. Create walkable neighborhoods 3. Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty and critical environmental areas 4. Provide a variety of transportation choices 5. Provide a mixture of uses and a variety of housing options 6. Encourage community and stakeholder partcipation b©i"ges+ associates. 29 architecture urban planning interior design 00 b©i"ges+ associates Brickell West Study PLANNING PRINCIPLES Designating T6-36 intensity in the Brickell West area is consistent with good PLANNING PRACTICES and with the concept of reducing sprawl, increasing walkability and public transportation use. Miami's mayor and political leadership have taken a leadership role in encouraging green building; as part of this big picture view, allowing T6-36 intensity for Brickell West will stimulate an ideal central urban community with new green world-class mixed-use projects, pedestrian friendly streets and the best access to the existing mass public transportation system.
