Rule 28-24.014(10)(c), F.A.C. Urbanized Area The Census Bureau delineates urbanized areas (UA's) to provide a better separation of urban and rural territory, population, and housing in the vicinity of large places. A UA comprises one or more places ("central place") and the adjacent densely settled surrounding territory ("urban fringe") that together have a rninimurn of 50,000 persons. The urban fringe generally consists of contiguous territory having a density of least 1,000 persons per square mile. The urban fringe also includes outlying territory of such density if it was connected to the core of the contiguous area by road and is within 1 1/2 road miles of that core, or within 5 road miles of the core but separated by water or other undevelopable territory. Other territory with a population density of fewer than 1,000 people per square mile is included in the urban fringe if it eliminates an enclave or doses an indentation in the boundary of the urbanized area. The population density is determined by (1) outside of a place, one or more contiguous census blocks with a population density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile or (2) inclusion of a place containing census blocks that have at least 50 percent of the population of the place and a density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile.

There ate 21 Metromover stations located within Downtown Miami, approximately one every two blocks. Metromover links many of Downtown Miami's major office buildings, hotels, and retail centers, the Stephen P. Clark Government Center, the Cultural Plaza (Miami Art Museum, Historical Museum, Main Library), and the Brickell business district (See Map 2). Metromover has a downtown inner loop and an Omni/Brickell outer loop. Service is provided 24 hours a day on the inner loop and until midnight on the outer loop. Metromover stations provide connecting services to Metrobus routes and Metrorail stations. UCBD Justification Report 5-7 July 26, 2004 Source: Miami -Dade County Transit Department (June 2004).

July 7, 2004 • • City of Miami Urban Central Business District Access to Public Transit Service Overall, Downtown Miami is well served by different modes of transit including Metrobus, Metrorail, Metromover, and on -demand paratransit services. Similarly, access to these services is conveniently provided throughout the downtown area. A quarter mile radius or buffer from transit stops and routes is generally considered the standard for determining a transit service area. Using this general rule, the entire Downtown Miami area falls within the service area of one or more of the transit modes operated by Miami Dade Transit. Map 5-3 illustrates the transit service areas for Downtown Miami. Planned Public Transit Improvements In addition to current transit service within the area, the following improvements are targeted by Miami -Dade Transit to better serve Downtown Miami. People's Transportation Plan The Peoples Transportation Plan was introduced in 2002 and improvements identified within the Plan will be implemented throughout the County with funding from the half -cent sales tax referendum approved by Miami -Dade County voters. Metrobus improvements identified in the Plan to be implemented before 2008 include: • Adding mid -day, Saturday and Sunday services within 30 days of approval of a dedicated funding source using existing buses • Providing 15-ininute or better bus service during rush hour, 30-minute service or better during other periods and 24-hour service in certain major corridors ♦ Expanding the bus shelter program Other improvements identified in the Plan to be implemented over the next 20 years include: ♦ 4.4-mile extension of the Metrorail East-West corridor between the Miami Intertnodal Center and Government Center (Feasibility Study 2004) ♦ 5.1-mile light rail system between Downtown Miami and Miami Beach (2023) • NE 2.d Avenue streetcar pilot project (Feasibility Study 2004) Transportation Improvement Plan (FY'04-'08) Two projects are programmed in the Transportation Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2004-2008 that will improve transit service within Downtown Miami. These include: • Urban Corridor Development transit service (Flagler MAX) between Miami Beach and west Miami -Dade County ♦ Alternative Analysis/Major Investment Study for the FEC rail corridor to serve potential commuter transit service between Downtown Miami and Broward County UCBD Justification Report 5-9 July 26, 2004 ignit tie Radius Comfortable Walking Distance Source: Miami -Dade County Transit Department (June 2004).

In addition, favored development should include high intensity, high density, multiuse development consisting of one or more of the following land uses: retail, office (including professional and governmental offices), cultural, recreational, and entertainment facilities, high density residential, hotels and motels, or appropriate industrial activities. Downtown Miami and the boundaries of the proposed UCBD consist of approximately 1,354 acres as shown in the City's Future Land Use Map (see Map 6-1). The Miami Downtown is the epitome of high intensity, high density, multiuse development containing all of the land uses identified by Rule 28-14.014(10)(c)(1), F.A.C. The area being designated as the Downtown Miami Urban Central Business District (UCBD) contains the following land uses which are arranged following the "pyramid concept" of cumulative inclusion, whereby subsequent categories are inclusive of those listed previously: ♦ Recreation This land use category allows only public parks and recreation facilities. Two of the largest park and recreation areas within Downtown Miami include the American Airlines Arena and Bayfront Park. • Medium -Density Multifamily Residential This category allows residential structures to a maximum density of 65 dwelling units per acre. Supporting services are permitted and other permitted uses include commercial activities intended to serve the needs of the building or complex. ♦ High -Density Multifamily Residential This category allows residential structures to a maximum density of 150 dwelling units per acre. Higher densities may be allowed in specially -designated areas. These specially - designated areas include Southeast Overtown/Park West allowing 300 dwelling units per acre and Brickell, Omni, and River Quadrant allowing 500 dwelling units per acre. These areas are within the City's Residential Density Increase Areas shown in Map 6-2. Supporting services such as offices and commercial services and other accessory activities that are clearly incidental to principal uses are permitted. • Office Office land use allows residential uses to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential." Other uses permitted include general office, clinics and laboratories, and limited commercial activities incidental to principal uses. ♦ Government/Institution Downtown Miami is home to City, County, and State government buildings within the Government Center. These uses account for more than 10 percent of the total land area within the Downtown. Residential uses are also permitted ancillary to these uses at a maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential." UCBD Justification Report 6-1 July 26, 2004 City of Miarni Urban Central Business District • • AD ♦ Restricted Commercial This land use category allows residential uses to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential," any activity in the "Office" designation as well as commercial activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public. o Central Business District (CBD) The Central Business District is defined in the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan as the central commercial, financial, and office core of the metropolitan region, and allows all activities in the "Office," "Restricted Commercial," and "Government/Institution" designations. Residential uses alone or in combination with other uses are allowable to a maximum density of 1,000 dwelling units per acre. The Downtown Miami CBD is characterized as a regional center being the largest in the County. The CBD is further described as possessing physical cohesiveness, direct accessibility by transit, and high quality urban design. The CBD is intended to be moderate to high -intensity, design -unified areas which contain a concentration of different urban functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. The CBD comprises approximately 14 percent of the Downtown. ♦ General Commercial The Downtown contains approximately 9.7 percent of General Commercial land area, however it is likely that these areas will begin to shift toward more mixed use and include residential through redevelopment. Residential is allowed through special exception only • Industrial The Downtown contains only a small area of industrial land use associated with the Miami River. The land se accounts for only 0.4 percent of the total land area. ♦ Rapid Transit Downtown Miami is served by a significant network of transit services including Metrobus, Metrorail, and Metromover. Rapid Transit primarily reserves land for Metrorail and Metromover corridors within Downtown.

July 26, 2004 City of Miami Urban Central Business District M The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP), dated April 2004, supports the creation of the Downtown Miami Urban Central Business District (UCBD). The proposed UCBD designation is consistent with the following goals, objectives, and policies in the MCNP and indicates the City's commitment and vision for high -density, high -intensity, mixed -use redevelopment within the Downtown.
