ITEM 1,C243 OIN
t 1 am in agreement with the AIA Miami's current Position Paper in opposition to the current draft of MIAMI
21.
While I applaud any effort to enhance our pedestrian environment by stringent controls on the
development of streetscape amenities, building massing, and landscaping, it is inconsistent to allow the
purchase of additional height if the developer is able to PAY for it. Other issues related to the control of
building footprints, defining their shape, orientation and placement, seem to commandeer or usurp the
creative judgment of the Architect and leave our skyline to a future of formulaic redundancy. The net
result of this code could be a series of cookie cutter buildings instead of a skyline that is uniquely Miami.
This herculean effort by Mayor Diaz and the truly brilliant members of the Miami 21 team to find a more
workable or simplified delineation to the myriad conditions of a complex City and our present Zoning Code
is a worthy mission. That effort has resulted in a productive conversation about the very essence of our
built environment, our relationship to it and our responsibilities as its stewards. I believe that, as written,
this document could be a violation of that stewardship. We must be more aware of the ramifications of
allowing formulas to provide answers to the very specific intricacies of the planning process.
After thoughtful review and critique by its diverse members, the AIA Miami, has promulgated a "Position
Paper" that is consistent with a logical and appropriate approach to the "renovation" of the existing Code
as opposed to its total reconstruction. I am writing in support of that "Position Paper' and in opposition to
Miami 21.
Thanks to our Mayor and all those who have dedicated so much time and effort to this quest for a better
Miami.
Respectfully submitted,
John P. Fullerton, AIA

I am in agreement with the president elect. Let the planning standards allow for creative design
and if needed set a height limitation however with new technology I do not believe height limits
are needed unless there are historic relationships to honor.
Thanks for asking,

Subject: Re: AIA Miami's OPPOSITION to Miami 21
Thank you for sending this information...
I too, am opposed to many parts of Miami 21. 1 would like to read, thoroughly (unlike our politicians who
aren't reading the stimulus bills or other lengthy legislation) Miami 21 to become more informed. Please
let me know how/where I can find a draft of it...
However
My biggest concern is not Miami 21, but that "green" practices will be incorporated into the building code
and require that all buildings be "green". I would strongly oppose the incorporation of "green"
technologies being mandated by the government for all buildings. Perhaps government buildings can be
required to be "green", not an across the board requirement.
I know that Miami 21 is not about this topic, but I would like to be kept abreast of talks about the building
code becoming "green".
Thank you, again.

p.s. It took 25 years for the City of Miami to agree to a zoning issue I was involved with and that
required a decree from the State of Florida Supreme Court to tell the City it:had to allow our Zoning by
right.
I guess it will take another 23 years for them to get it right!!
