Section 1304.2.1 Application forms; supplementary materials 2. Section 17022.1 General Report 3. Section 1702.2.2 Major Use Special Permit Concept Plan 4. Section 1702.2.3 Development Impact Study • • • • • MAJOR USE SPECIAL PERMIT 1. Section 1304.1.1 Application forms; supplementary materials (a) Statements of ownership and control of the proposed development of activity. The Disclosure of Ownership and Ownership Affidavit are provided in Article I. (b) Statement describing in detail the character and intended use of the development or activity. BayView Market will be a 4 story "Big Box Retail" building to be located at 1700 NE 2nd Avenue in Miami, Florida. It is this project's goal to prove that large retail (big box) type, vis-a-vis; home improvement, and general household products merchants can be provided in an urban setting. The project also contains; a residential, small retail and parking component. Designed to conform to an urban metropolitan context, the adjacent parking structure of 10 stories ( + - 2,400 cars) in height will be wrapped by a residential liner. This liner will mask the parking structure. The project will contain over 2 million square feet of new development. Care has been taken by all involved to produce a facility who's structure would; provide much needed services to this area of the city, provide living units in an urban setting, and conform to the special needs of the streetscape and neighboring area. The following components shall face and engage the street, as follows: The residential liner of double stacked loft units will top small retail areas adjacent to NE 2"d ave and NE 17th Street. There are 24 loft units in total, and each individual unit consists of 1 bedroom, bathroom and Kitchen/Dining areas. Each unit constitutes approximately 1,550 s.f. The units shall appear open and amply illuminated within by the means of large glazed areas facing the street. A private pedestrian entry off of NE 17th street, shall lend tenants and visitors the opportunity to access the units by means of elevators. These units will be the main focal point on approach northward along 2nd avenue. Modern lines and materials shall articulate them as an attractive new city living location. The small retail along the adjacent major streets will help animate the streetscape by providing opportunities for the ingress and egress of pedestrian traffic. They shall visually serve as a base for the residential units above. The south east corner, in particular will be served by an elevated plaza (30 Inches above the sidewalk) which could cater to a small coffee or food retailer, while providing an area of interest for passersby. Attention has also been paid to those who may enter the site off off 2"d avenue. An articulated pedestrian way within the ground • • o floor motor court will provide safe, illuminated access to the retail entry/breezeway. The Big -Box Retail areas are the central feature of this development. It's near 600,000 s.f. of construction shall be flanked by a breezeway like vestibule which shall separate it from the parking court on the ground floor and other parking areas on subsequent floors above. The Breezeway will lend themselves to articulated flooring, signage, projectors and ample lighting for the security, comfort and ease of navigation for all visiting and making purchases, at this facility. This same breezeway, in effect, shall serve as a balcony with a view south , towards the city which will provide a dignified entry and exit into the mercantile/ tenant areas within. A 10 story atrium shall be topped with a open sided roof which shall allow plenty of light and ventilation from all the breezeway/ parking levels, below. The remaining exterior building surfaces of the Big — Box shall be treated with glazing and trellis -like structures to adorn the exterior. The intended effect is to soften the massing of the building around all sides. These surface treatments shall work off the residential units' modules and is intended to extend the `liner' effect all around the buildings. Landscaping will provide lush walking experiences around the property. Ample use of Canopy trees and dense palm material will line 2nd avenue and 17th street in such a fashion to provide ample shade and further enhance the streetscape. The complexity of this project addresses and resolves various issues, involving; retail only seen in suburban situations and now reintroduced into a redeveloping city center, Urban living and support of surrounding context, and volumes of parking housed in a `less visible way'.

Over the last several years prices of urban housing have increased dramatically; despite the recent slow down in the economy. Subsequently, a substantial amount of people within metropolitan areas have begun to return to the city to live. This has created a shortage of multi -family housing along with an upward surge of housing prices. Contrarily, the cost of construction has not kept pace with these increases, which has made it economically affordable to construct new buildings for sale. This pattern remains the same in South Florida where there continues to be an increased demand for housing, particularly in Miami -Dade County. There will be 24 residential units within the development. The average sale price will be $520,000. (d) A description of proposed energy conservation measures shall be provided, including only those measures that are proposed in addition to the minimum requirements in State Energy Code. Architecturally, the building envelope will be comprised of insulated walls and roof. Tinted glass will be used throughout the building.

Energy saving lamps, ballasts and fixtures are being considered at cores and public spaces. (e). Historic Buildings There are no historic structures located on the property. (f). Environmental Zone The property is not located within an environmental preservation district.
