NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING SECTION INTRODUCTION Neighborhood Planning Program A Community Development Plan is required by Federal regulations. The plan must identify physical, economic and social needs and specify both short and long term community development objectives. This document serves as the framework for the expenditures of Community Development (CD) and other public funds within the neighborhood. In 1990, the sixth 3 -year Neighborhood Planning Program defining projects, programs, and strategies for neighborhood improvements was prepared for each Community Development Target Area with community input. The objective of the planning process this year is to update the 3 -year plan in light of demographic and economic changes in each of the target areas. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program It is a federally funded program aimed at the development of viable urban communities, including a suitable living environment, decent housing, and the expansion of economic opportunities for persons of low and moderate income. The CDBG program has been implemented in all Target Areas since its inception in 1974. The National Objective To be eligible for CDBG funding, Federal policies require that each activity: (1) benefit low and moderate income persons; (2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slum or blight; and (3) meet other CD needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health and welfare of the community. CDBG Eligible Activities 1) To acquire real property. 2) To pay costs incidental to disposing of real property acquired with CDBG funds. 3) To be used by the grantee or other public or private non-profit entity for the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation or installation of public improvements or facilities (except for buildings for the general conduct of government). 4) For building removal, demolition or clearance. 5) For interim assistance activities. 6) For relocation or loss of income by housing owners. 7) For economic development activities. 8) To assist private for profit entities. 9) For historic preservation. 10) For removal of architectural barriers. 11) To finance or subsidize the construction of new permanent residential structures. 12) To finance the rehabilitation of any public or privately -owned residential property. 13) For code enforcement. Deteriorating Conditions In the last 10 years, the City of Miami has experienced many socio- economic changes. Poverty has dramatically increased from 24.5 percent to 31.2 percent in 1990. As can be seen in Figure 1.1, Miami is the fourth poorest city in the United States. If undocumented aliens were added to these figures, Miami would, in all likelihood, have the highest poverty rate of any U.S. major metropolitan city. The vast majority of CD residents have very low incomes. This is reflected in Figure 1.2, which shows that the poverty rates in the target areas are considerably above the Citywide average of 31.2 percent, and three to five times the figure for the State. As a consequence, the neighborhoods have experienced housing deterioration, economic disinvestment and increased social needs. 40 30 20 10 0 US Poverty Ranking for Cities with Population over 100,000 ------------------------------------------------- Population Lando122.806 DatroB 1,027,074 Now Oriaana 488.816 Miami 358,848 Flint 140,761 G—y 118.848 Wa00 103.800 Cleveland 805.810 Hanford t36,736 Atianta 364,017 4 ,P // / <� (";� "�e / / Source: 1980 U.S. Bureau of the Census Fig. 1.1 2 Poverty Rate Comparisons (ore) City Miami 312 Da ounty 179 State of Florida 112.7 Source: 1990 Census of Population and Housing Fig. 1.2 n a5.6 Neighborhood Target Areas The City's CDBG program is required to be implemented within the physical boundaries of the eight neighborhood target areas identified as needing long-term economic development, revitalization, housing and infrastructure improvements. Since its inception in 1974, the CDBG program has been operational in the inner-city neighborhoods of Allapattah, Coconut Grove, Downtown, Edison/Little River, Pequefta Habana, Model City, Overtown and Wynwood. (See Map 1. 1.) Allapattah At the on -set of the Community Development program, the focus on Allapattah was: To improve the environment and the economic base. To augment the existing open space and recreational facilities. To satisfy the need for social services and cultural activities. Presently the focus is on: 1) Street improvements. 2) Economic redevelopment including the revitalization of commercial corridors. 3) Housing rehabilitation and new housing construction. 4) Social services. Hurricane Andrew In August 1992, Hurricane Andrew, the worst natural disaster in U.S. history, severely impacted Dade County, including the City of Miami, causing significant damage to the City's neighborhoods. This posed a serious and immediate threat to the health and welfare of the community, affecting housing, business and the economy of the neighborhoods. 17.01 17.02 fj" ST ALLAPATTAH NEIGHBORHOOD �J=l 1 Santa Clara W 2 Comstock Q 3 Melrose M 4 Curtis Park 3 5 Civic Center Z 6 Jackson ALLAPATTAH CD TARGET AREA BOUNDARIES Northern Boundary • Airport expressway from I-95 to 19th Avenue, and • N.W. 38th Street (City limits) from N.W. 19th to 27th Avenues Western Boundary • N.W. 27 th Avenue from N.W. 38th to 20th Streets and N.W. 20th Street west to the Miami River and, • N.W. 36th Street from N.W. 27th Avenue west to N.W. 38th Avenue to one lot depth on each (North & South) side of 36th Street plus Jai Alai Southern Boundary • Miami River from City limits to East/West Expressway, and • East/West expressway to I-95 Eastern Boundary I-95 from East/West Expressway to Airport Expressway NOTE All boundaries are to the center of the street, center line of city block, edge of expressway or center line of railroadtracks unless otherwise noted (See Target Area map) Kw. 2• SL It* 23 ST.

(See Map 2.1) The population is 1990 was 39,255. A residential area comprised primarily of single-family, duplex and medium density multi -family structures. Local commercial establishments, located along commercial strips, serve the neighborhood, the City and the international tourist. In particular, the retail/wholesale apparel businesses along N.W. 20th Street are booming. The total area is 2,365 acres, with residential, wholesale/industrial, and government institutional as the dominant land uses. Home of the Civic Center and its internationally reknown medical institutions. Has one-third of all City land zoned for wholesale and industrial uses. Center of the major concentration of wholesalers in the produce business in Dade County. An ethnically and racially mixed community with significant Cuban, Nicaraguan and Afro-American population. It is served by six community parks. Home of the Miami -Dade Medical Center Campus and the Lindsey Hopkins Technical Education Center. It has an excellent public transportation network. Has a median household income considerably below the City's average. Has a higher percentage of persons below the poverty level than the City's average.

The influx of Nicaraguan and Haitian immigrants have fueled the more rapid growth in population since 1980. The population of Allapattah has, in fact, increased by 14 percent from 34,290 persons in 1980 to 39,255 in 1990. However, it is estimated that the actual population may be higher due to illegal immigration and the 1990 Census undercount. The area continues to be the recipient of many recently arrived Central Americans and Haitians. In addition, the number of homeless persons, another largely undocumented population, is increasing. Figure 3.2 shows the ethnic and racial diversity of Allapattah. While Hispanics comprise 72 percent of the population, non -Hispanic blacks represent 19 percent and non -Hispanic whites over 8 percent of the population. Over 20 percent of the non -Hispanic black population or about 1,400 are of Haitian descent. Of the Hispanic population, Cuban is the dominant ancestry, with over 13,700, while Nicaraguans and Dominicans have about 3,800 and 2,700 respectively. (See Figure 3.3) The median age in Allapattah is almost 34 years. This is reflected in Figure 3.4, which shows the largest segment of the population to be in the younger working age population group (18 to 39 years of age). In addition, the relatively smaller elderly population compared to the more abundant child population (those under 18) is apparent. o... ..:::::::s�;;- .% ". The population under 18 years of age increased moderately by 5 percent from 8,727 in 1980 to 9,202 in 1990. The population over 64 years of age increased by a similar rate, 5.7 percent from 51,121 in 1980 to 5,414 in 1990. The dominant category of household structure in Allapattah is non -family households, which at 34 percent is almost identical to the City's average of 35 percent. Married couple with children comprise 17 percent of the households, while female headed households with children amount to 10 percent. Figure 3.5, which depicts educational attainment for persons 25 years and over, indicates that almost 5,000 persons --64 percent of the population --did not graduate from high school. This is significantly worse than the City's average'of 52.4 percent, and 80 percent higher than the County's rate of 35 percent. At the other end of the spectrum --college and graduate degrees, Allapattah, again, fares considerably worse than the City as a whole with only 5.6 percent of the population completing at least college, while the corresponding figure for the City is 12.8 percent. Income and Poverty As can be seen in Figure 3.6, mean or average family income (in inflation adjusted terms) has steadily declined since 1970. Mean family income decreased by 18.1 percent during the 1980s, to $20,756 in 1990. This latter figure is 30 percent below the City's average and just over 50 percent below the comparable figure for Dade County. Available data on median household income (includes non -family units) is even more dismal. Median household income in 1989 was $12,270 or 56 percent below median household income in Dade County. Map 3.1 reflects the distribution of income in Allapattah. The map displays median household income as a percentage of the County's median household income by census block group greographic. Almost all of Allapattah falls in the two lowest income categories, with the area around the Civic Center and the area west of N.W. 17th Avenue (in the middle of the Comstock and Melrose neighborhoods) in the lowest income category. About 41 percent of the households in Allapattah have Educational Attainment -Allapattah less than 9th grade some High School High School Graduate some College College Graduate Source: 1990 Census of Population and Housing 6 Fig. 35 Mean Family Income-Allapattah (Adiusled for mflazion) Thousands 30 — zs 20 is 10 s 0 10 Thousands 1970 1990 1990 Source1980 Census o1 PWulslion and Housing Fig. 3.6 A aJ \ income below $10,000. Figure 3.7, which shows income by source, demonstrates that Allapattah is a community that relies on wage income as the primary income source (70) percent). Given the low income of many, Allapattah is a community of working poor. Public assistance accounts for less than 5 percent of income. The number of persons below poverty level increased from 10,087 in 1980 to 13,325 in 1990. This rapid increase in poverty --32 percent --should be seen against a much smaller increase in population -44 percent --in 1980s. (See Figure 3.1) This led to an increase in the poverty rate for persons from 25.9 percent in 1980 to 39.5 percent in 1990. This was due to the difficulties experienced by low income workers (working poor) throughout the nation in the 1980s and the influx of Nicaraguan, Haitian and Dominican immigrants, specifically to Allapattah. As was seen in Figure 1.2, the poverty rate for Allapattah is almost 8 percentage points higher than that for the City. Child poverty in the Allapattah area is still higher. In fact, just under 50 percent (49.4 percent) of youth under 18 years of age live in poverty. Map 3.2 shows the geographical distribution of poverty within Allapattah. Poverty rates for persons exceed 50 percent in the Jackson area and in parts of Comstock. Most other section areas have poverty rates of between 30 and 40 percent. Housing In 1990, there were 13,173 year-round housing units in Allapattah, compared with 12,599 in 1980, which represents a 5% increase. The vacancy rate increased from 4.1% in 1980 to 6.8% in 1990, compared with 9.9% for the City in 1990. The overall condition of the housing stock is mixed. 11 Income Sources - Allapattah Source: 1980 Census d Pa xMlon end Romp Fig. 3.7 2,14% .W1 C87% rorty 7.25% vid.ndh 200% 00% N.W. 36 ST.

Labor Force In 1990, the civilian labor force in Allapattah was 14,556 compared with 15,179 in 1980, representing a 4.1% decrease. The unemployment rate increased from 7.8% in 1980 to 10.9% in 1990, mirroring the City's rate of 11.0% in 1990. However, the effective unemployment rate may be significantly higher. This can be seen in the lower labor force participation rate in Allapattah at 50.5% compared to 59.8% for the City as a whole. The labor force participation rate measures those working and those actively seeking work as a percentage of the working age population. Map 3.3 shows that in most of Allapattah unemployment rates are no more than 11 percent of the City's average, however, some sections towards N.W. 7th Avenue in the east and NW 36th Street to the north have unemployment rates above 15.4 percent or twice the County's average. Social/Public Services Social needs have substantially increased in the last 20 years. This area of the City has experienced major ethnic changes since 1960. In particular, since 1980, Allapattah has experienced a major influx of Cuban, Haitian, Salvadorians, Dominicans and Nicaraguans immigrants. Most of these immigrants had very limited resources, skills and education which further contributed to increased social needs. Crime has also increased in the last 15 years. An elderly center facility was built at Curtis Park to serve the social and cultural needs of the community. Also, the City has provided financial support for a number of public service programs in the community. Currently, funds have been approved in the amount of $450,000 for the construction of a community center in the Comstock Park area. 13 Public service demand has increased in the last 20 years in Allapattah due to the increase in population, the recent arrival of the homeless, the density of development, and the aging of existing public facilities. Neighborhood Allapattah is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the City of Miami. The area has experienced dramatic physical, economic and social changes in the last 30 years. In the 1950's the neighborhood was mostly a middle income, predominantly Anglo-Saxon area. In the 1960's Allapattah began to experience an increase in Black population due to the expressway construction. In the mid 1960's Cubans began to arrive to the area and the out -migration of non -Hispanic Whites continued. In 1980, Mariel, Haitian and Nicaraguan immigrants began to arrive. In addition, the 1980 civil disturbances affected the image of the area. Mostly, the neighborhood has been a recipient of public housing and certain institutional uses which has in some instances contributed to neighborhood destabilization. Despite the above, during the last 15 years the residential, commercial, and industrial areas experienced growth and some improvements. WIN Abil r� OVA = , .\ J. +. ....,. NEIGHBORHOOD PROBLEMS, NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES Population One of the principal concerns in the Allapattah neighborhood is the age and income pattern. The out -migration of middle income families to suburban areas is another major concern. There is a need to encourage younger single persons and young families with higher disposable income, and middle income families in general to stay or return to the area by providing suitable housing, better schools, increased safety and more amenities in the neighborhood. Housing Among the most important housing problems are: a shortage of existing housing units; affordability, given low incomes; overcrowding; deterioration of the housing stock; and a large concentration of public housing. There is an urgent need for more and better quality affordable housing for low, moderate and middle income persons, as well as: housing for younger and more affluent people; increased home ownership, including condominiums; and more efficient utilization of the land, including mixed used development. There is also a need for housing rehabilitation in the area, and to initiate a strong code enforcement program. Another problem in Allapattah is the concentration of public housing, especially for families, which is some instances has negatively impacted the surrounding residential and commercial areas in terms of crime, image and the economic base of the area. One recent issue that has developed in Allapattah is that of the homeless and the problems that they are creating in the residential and industrial/commercial areas. Economic Development Commercial/Industrial Areas Development 15 Among the most important economic development problems and needs in Allapattah are: business exodus and business turnover because of crime, poor image, social problems, competition with other areas in the County; lack of marketing, promotional campaigns and poor media publicity; parking problems in certain segments of the industrial district; lack of large redevelopment sites; high insurance costs, and redlining; marginal commercial areas; lack of sufficient neighborhood oriented retail facilities especially along N.W. 36th Street and along N.W. 7th Avenue; the negative effect that the limited disposable income of the population has on the commercial areas; and the lack of a strong merchant association geared to promote business. Also, there is a need to: preserve, upgrade and improve the appearance of the commercial and industrial areas; facilitate redevelopment that complements the Civic/Medical Center complex and the industrial areas; facilitate the redevelopment of the areas surrounding the rapid transit stations and the Produce Center; initiate street and infrastructure improvements of other specialty centers in Allapattah related to the automotive, cut flowers, and food industries. Furthermore, there is a need to improve the image of the commercial and industrial areas and to increase cooperation between the different ethnic groups for economic development purposes, particularly along N.W. 36th Street. Employment and Training Unemployment, lack of adequate job skills, the loss of some specialized skills and language barriers are major problems for area residents and workers. There is a need to create new jobs, and upgrade the jobs and business skills of workers and businessmen. Also, there is a need to preserve and transmit cultural skills to the younger generation of workers such as floral arrangement, baking and similar skills. SociaUPublic Services There has been a steady increase in social needs in Allapattah since the 1980's, due to the massive and sudden immigration of Mariel, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Salvadorian immigrants and the needs of the poor including the homeless. The major needs include housing, employment, health care, food and nutrition. Other problems and needs of the immigrants include acculturation; illiteracy (many immigrants cannot read or write; lack of information about existing services; child care needs; and language barrier problems. Among the problems and needs the other residents of Allapattah have are: housing; child care, crime and drugs, and school dropouts. Cutbacks in public social service programs at both the local and national level have impacted the adequate delivery of social services to the residents of Allapattah. Elderly Needs One of the most critical problems for the elderly population is the cost of housing, which as a percentage of their income is quite high. There is a need for rent subsidies and housing projects for the elderly. The second need is for health care support programs of all kinds (promotion, prevention and wellness projects). Other needs of the elderly population include: transportation programs, programs aimed at enhancing personal security (especially in the vicinity of the elderly facilities and services); hot meals; and recreation and cultural programs. Children and Youth Needs Some of the most serious problems in Allapattah are related to the arrival of immigrant children and the fact that both parents need to work. In addition, some children come from broken homes or homes without parents (as they are still living abroad). Among the most pressing needs are: more day care and afterschool programs (especially for children of low income families); bilingual education programs; child home supervision; family home care for infants; drug rehabilitation programs; health care programs for parents; and recreational facilities and programs for the _youth in Allapattah during the day, night and weekends. According to some community social workers, there are also school discipline 16 problems and problems that are the by-product of severe overcrowding and/or the expansion of drug and crime problems. Education The Allapattah CD Target Area is served by 11 public schools which include 6 elementary, 3 junior high, 2 senior high schools I vocational school, several private schools and 2 colleges (seven of the schools serving Allapattah are located outside the target area). There is a need to: continue acculturation programs to facilitate the integration of the immigrants into the American mainstream; provide afterschool programs; provide job skill training and adult education programs; and to provide incentives to discourage school drop outs. There is a very low attainment level among the immigrant children creating a heavy burden for the school system. Finally, there is a need to reduce school overcrowding. Many Allapattah residents have a poor perception of the public school system, due to excessive busing of children, and the lack of a junior high school in Allapattah. This is one of the factors that have led to residents moving out of the neighborhood or sending their children to private schools. Health and Welfare Dade County is responsible for most of the health and welfare programs in the City of Miami. The arrival of Martel and Haitian immigrants in 1980 and the arrival of Nicaraguan, Salvadoran and other Central and South American immigrants after 1980 overloaded the health and welfare delivery system in the area, because many of the immigrants required substantial health care and welfare aid. Allapattah is well served by public hospitals, and private clinics in the area. In addition, there are numerous social services agencies in the neighborhood, some of which are financed by City of Miami CD funds. Transportation Public Transportation Allapattah has excellent accessibility by bus and has 3 rapid transit stations which connect the residential and industrial areas with the region. In addition, City of Miami CD funds finance a neighborhood oriented transportation program for the elderly. One of the problems with the existing public transit system is that fares. According to the neighborhood residents, fares are too high and the waiting time is too long during non - peak hours. Parking There is a parking shortage in some areas of Allapattah, especially in parts of the industrial district. This parking shortage is caused in some instances by businesses which provide parking for wholesale uses but, in fact, operate as retailers which require more parking. Recently, some streets in the industrial area have been rebuilt with parking lanes. This has to some degree alleviated the problem. Streets in the Allapattah Target Area are in poor condition. Parks Recreation and Open Space The Allapattah CD Target Area is served by adequate recreational facilities including six recreational parks; however, the parking area located in the vicinity of the Miami Stadium has been damaged, the area needs urgent repairs. Other needs are: to complete the redevelopment of Curtis Park; to maximize the use of Allapattah Comstock Park for both day and night activities transferring night time activities from Curtis Park should be considered. Presently, improvements to Curtis, Moore and Comstock Parks are in the planning process. Improvements in park safety, and maximization of the use of the existing open space through joint utilization of school open space and recreation facilities by the community during the evenings and weekends are important goals. 17 AIRPORT UPRESSWAY MELROSE ALLAPATTAH COMSTOCK MIAMI BASEBALL STADIUM HIGHLAND CIRCLE Map. 4.1 PARKS AND RECREATION 12,93 ALLAPATTAH o 7501500 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TARGET AREA NEIL OF MIAMI ORHOODPL.ANNNG'ECTIONILDINGANDZONINGDEPARTMENT 18 OTHER FACILITIES •1 SENIOR CITIZEN MEALS PROGRAM $2 TENNIS CENTER SOURCE: PLANNING BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Neighborhood Planning Section PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT 19 PAP K NAME AND LOCATION ALLAPATTAH COMSTOCK loll I MELROSE MOORE munm IIIIGNI nnmoll 1111 IIyE�I nnMINES i 1111110I IHE OTHER FACILITIES •1 SENIOR CITIZEN MEALS PROGRAM $2 TENNIS CENTER SOURCE: PLANNING BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Neighborhood Planning Section PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT 19 PARKS IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED Allapattah CD Target Areas TYPE OF I M P R O V E M E N T S PARK NAME BALIFTITD BATIBLOUSE FENCING R HANDICAP DLRLGATICIN LANDSCAPE LIGHTING LIGHRNC PARKING PlCmC PLAY PLAYGROUND POOL RECRFAT70N RESTROOM SrrE SPIE WORK OTTIm TOTAL, 8 ACCESS ACCESS A PLANT SECURr1Y SPORTS LAT AREAS COURTS /SAND BUILDING BUILDING FURNMJRE WALKWAYS CONTROL PAV[NG GRADE ALAPATTAH • • • • • • • • • 60. • • • • • . • • • • • • 825,000 30,000 1A 000 15,000 10,000 20,000 (SIrLa 25.000 4Q000 500,000 50,000 5,000 35,000 BicyclsPrh Raw.

M PLANNING, BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT, Noghborhood Pring S-lim LEGEND: LEGEND: • PRIORITY # 1 •• PRIORITY # 2 •-• PRIORITY # 3 20 Water, Sewers, Drainame and Lighting Facilities Sanitary sewers are generally adequate, but there are localized storm drainage problems in the Target area. As the street improvements proceed, upgrades to the storm sewer system will be made. The City is served by a major network of high and low pressure water mains. A secondary distribution system interconnects the trunk main with businesses and residences. Solid Waste The Allapattah Target Area is served regularly by the City of Miami Solid Waste Department. Sanitation services are provided on a twice a week basis for garbage, once a week for trash and twice a month for recycling. Trash accumulations occur frequently in the street right-of-ways which gives an unsightly appearance to the neighborhood and contributes to clogging part of the existing storm drainage system. There is a need for the installation of "no trash" signs and for more stringent enforcement of existing regulations. Construction debris dumped in the right-of-ways and empty lots is a problem that needs to be addressed. Safety Safety is one of the most critical needs in the Allapattah neighborhood. If safety is not improved in Allapattah, the area cannot redevelop adequately. Currently, the neighborhood is deteriorating. Crime has contributed to a destabilization of the residential, commercial and industrial areas. It also has been a major reason for the out 0 migration of businesses and the middle class from Allapattah. In addition, some employers are having difficulty retaining or hiring competent employees because of unsafe conditions in the commercial areas. Crime problems can be attributed to some degree, to unemployment, drug-related activities and the existence of people with criminal records within the area. The community perceives that a source of crime and drug distribution in the area comes from a few individuals that use the existing family public housing projects as refuge. 21 Neighborhood Historic Preservation Allapattah contains many of Miami's older neighborhoods and several of its important historic buildings, including the Alamo and Halisee Hall. Many buildings in the area have been demolished in recent years, while others, that still remain, have been so drastically altered that they no longer retain their architectural integrity. Allapattah contains a concentration of 1930's structures and a selective group should be identified and preserved in their original condition. The adaptive reuse of historic buildings should be encouraged. Aesthetics and Urban Design Among the aesthetic and urban design problems and needs in Allapattah are: • Lack of strong architectural character. • Visual confusion due to competing design elements including signage, building materials, colors, awnings, unsightly facades, and the generally poor appearance of some buildings in the area. • Unappealing, disproportioned, inappropriate or competing building signage. • Lack of sufficient pedestrian amenities including street furniture. Inadequate weather protection for pedestrians. • Lack of sufficient landscaping along major corridors. • Lack of appropriate maintenance of commercial and industrial building facades. • Narrow and/or inappropriate sidewalks, especially along some commercial corridors. 22 • The need to improve neighborhood maintenance including pickup of trash and litter in commercial and residential areas; right-of- way and swale area maintenance and vacant lot clearance. • The need to develop and take advantage of neighborhood unique features such as the Miami River and Civic/Medical Center Complex area • The need to define the gateway to the neighborhood at key locations. Opportunities The Allapattah Target Area is full of opportunities that should be exploited in order to revitalize the neighborhood. Among the most important opportunities are: There is land available for expansion of residential, commercial, but especially, for industrial activity. The area has the second largest concentration of employees in the City (approximately 30,000 in the Civic/Hospital Complex and the Industrial belt). • The area is centrally located. It is in close proximity to other major employment centers including Downtown Miami and Miami International Airport. • The area has excellent accessibility to the region by public buses (8 bus routes), three (3) rapid transit stations and a railroad system. • There is potential for redevelopment in the vicinity of the three (3) rapid transit stations. • The Miami River has the potential for river related development including specialty centers. • The City -owned old incinerator site provides an opportunity for redevelopment. There is a major produce center, and a high concentration of flower, apparel, food, automobile related business and furniture stores in the area which should be exploited. The Miami area provides excellent connections with South, Central American and the Caribbean. Also, there is a bilingual labor force available in the, area. 23 The Allapattah area has an overall good housing stock. The rents in the residential, and commercial areas are lower than in other areas of the City. TRENDS/FUTURE PROSPECTS • The following trends for Allapattah are foreseen based on changes that occurred in this neighborhood since 1980: • The population will experience a very limited growth unless another refugee influx occurs. Population growth will be limited because of the limited redevelopment sites available and market demand. • Allapattah will continue to be a predominantly Hispanic area. • The population will continue to age, unless more emphasis is placed on age mix, and the quality and image of some of the public facilities are improved, especially the schools. • The out -migration of middle income families and businesses will be accelerated unless crime decreases and a better environment for living and working is provided. • Poverty will continue to be high, because of limited family income, unemployment and social problems. • Housing will continue to deteriorate because of severe overcrowding and the aging housing stock; however, the degree of deterioration can be reduced if a comprehensive and aggressive redevelopment and rehabilitation strategies are implemented. • Higher density housing development with more amenities may occur in the vicinity of the Miami River and the Civic/Medical Center complex. This type of redevelopment will be marketed for the Civic/Medical Center employees. Also, mixed use commercial residential development is expected to occur in these areas. 24 • The number of renter -occupied units will continue to be high; however, the rate could decrease if more condominiums and other forms of home ownership are developed. • The Civic/Medical Center complex will continue to grow; however, redevelopment will be restricted by the availability of land. Also, office development related to the complex is expected to occur towards the western edge. • Most of the commercial area located to the south and west of the target area will remain stable; however, N.W. 7th Avenue and N.W. 36th Street redevelopment will require more time and effort. • The concentration of automotive businesses will continue along the western portion of N.W. 36th Street, N.W. 7th and N.W. 27th Avenues and within the industrial area. • The food related industries are expected to remain stable. • The Produce Center and related activities should benefit from the rapid transit and the patronage of Civic/Medical Center employees. Proximity to the area could be expanded into a larger specialty center including restaurants. • The Miami River area should redevelop with more housing/food related activities, in addition to liberal industrial uses.
