This would allow the building to have over 1,200 units instead of the approved 375 and also have more than 1,400 parking spaces instead of the approved 550 spaces. In light of the dramatic increase in development along Brickell Bay Drive, we are concerned that the large increase in traffic could hinder access to Brickell Key. We would also suggest that a traffic study be completed regarding the impact of such new developments on Brickell Bay Drive and Brickell Avenue, and that any approval of FAR bonuses for developments on these two streets be contingent on SW 8th Street becoming a 2-way road at Brickell Avenue and on requiring such FAR bonuses to be much more limited in nature.
