The Community Revitalization Districts include the neighborhoods of Allapattah, Edison Little River/ Little Haiti, Little Havana, Model City, Overtown, West Coconut Grove, and Wvnwood The targeted districts had income levels below 50% of the median average in Miami -Dade County, and a homeownership rate ender 20%. Model City was selected from among these seven as the pilot neighborhood to initi- ate the implementation of the community revitalization strategy. The revitalization effort is intended to provide homeowner- ship opportunities, and transform the physical attributes of the neighborhood through infrastructure improvements, the addition of green space and new community facilities such as a community center, and the revitalization of the four entry gateways and commercial corridors. On July 10, 2001, the Model City Community Revitalization District Trust was created and established. The Trust is responsible for pro- viding oversight and facilitating the redevelopment process. The City Managers appointments ro the Trusts' Board of Directors came primarily from community leaders in the private sector, creating a public/private partnership with the necessary skills to guide the neighborhood Through the rev-i- rsli7arion process. It was envisioned the Trust would be able ro obtain additional expertise through the engagement of consultants with experience in casks such as land acquisition, planning and urban design, project implementation, and marketing The Master Planning Process The Dover, Kohl & Partners / A+S-Lrchirects ream were retained to develop a Master Plan for the Model City Homeownership Zone, supervised by the City of Miami's Planning & Zoning Department and the Model City Community Revitalization District Trust. In summer of 2002, the Dover -Kohl/ A+S team presented a draft version of the Conceptual Plan ro representatives of the City's Planning & Zoning Department and the Model City Trust. Initial analysis of the neighborhood revealed many opportu- nities_ The neighborhood is in a central location, dose to Downtown, the Bay, the Beach, and the Airport, it already possessed a mix of jobs, services, places of worship, and variety of residential types; there is a rich cultural history present; there is an elementary school in the center of the neighborhood; there is commercial activity within walking distance of residential units; as well as many nicely shaded streets. The main design objectives of the conceptual plan included: an improved neighborhood appearance (through both street beautification and building facade improvements), creating a reinforced pride and sense of place, improving commercial corridors Through infdl development steered by new devel- opment regulations, and identifying re -planting opportunities to accommodate infill housing. The initial Conceptual Plan for the Model City area, shown on page 6 of this document, displayed a hypothetical view of new lots platted over the northern portion of the study area (mainly single-family attached and detached for types, designed to promote homeownership opportunities), infill housing lots in the southern portion of the study area, a reconfigured African Square Park, and the introduction of smaller neighborhood greens integrated throughout the neighborhood. In the spring of 2003, the Trust provided new information regarding property acquisition in Phase 1 (the upper portion of the pilot project area); the plan was revised to display only those properties that the City has begun ro acquire in the re- plarring of the neighborhood (see page 8). In addition CO the original study area, the Trust also asked that the Martin Luther King Boulevard corridor be studied between 1-95 and NW 17th Avenue. This important corridor carries both vehicular and pedestrian traffic into Model City, and is con- sidered the commercial center of the neighborhood Ins character and economic vitality greatly affect both residents and visitors CO the neighborhood Accordingly, the Master Plan for Model City now contains ideas for improvements along the MLK corridor, illustrated in plans, street level per- spectives, and street sections. The near step in the process was ro ask local residents and business owners how they felt about the plan, and ger Their feedback on ways to revise and improve the Conceptual Plan. The Model City Community Workshop was held on Saturday, July 19, 2003. Approximately 50 residents and business owners attended the event. The morning began with an overview of the planning process and the draft con- ceptual plan. Following die presentation, participants worked in groups, together pith a facilitator from the Dover -Kohl / A+S ream, marking their ideas on maps of the area- Participants were asked to critique the consultants work and to provide new ideas where appropriate. After a few hours of work, one member from each table presented their ideas and comments to the entire group. Each table offered valuable input, the ideas generated at the communi- ty workshop have been summarized on pages 2-3; many ideas have been incorporated into the current revised draft of the Conceptual Plan. This document is a compilation of the ideas, plans, and illus- trations chat have been completed as a parr of the master planning process for Model City. Included are photos and a summary of the Jul' community workshop, several itera- tions of the plan as it evolved, hand -rendered perspectives of the proposed development, computer -rendered before - and -after visualizations, street sections, and proposed archi- tectural building types.

Newly platted single family attached and detached lots over the northem portion of the pilot project area allow increased opportunities for home ownership; infiil housing in the southern areas fill in vacant lots; new parks are dis- persed throughout the neighborhood, cre- ating smaller, safer places for children to play close to home; MLK Blvd is shown with continuous mixed -use development filling in vacant lots, necessary if the corri- dor is to redevelop into a pedestrian friendly commercial street.

This can slow down motorists and beautify the neigh- borhood's appearance. Rowhouses are shown here surrounding one of the neighborhood parks. Bottom right, one of several small neighborhood parks situated at var- ious locations in the neighborhood. These are intended to be areas where children can play or that adults can enjoy, near home. Each park is intended to be designed dif- ferently, so that each part of the neighborhood can have its own visual identity.
