PLANNING FACT SHEET
Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA
April 28, 2005
A resolution of the Miami City Commission, with attachment(s), approving the amended
(2004) Southeast Overtown/Park West ("SEOPW") Redevelopment Plan (the "Amended
Plan"), prepared by Dover, Kohl & Partners; and directing the City Manager to transmit
the Amended Plan, a copy of city Ordinance 12247 approved and adopted on June 27,
2002 that expands the boundaries of the SEOPW redevelopment area ("Boundary
Expansion"), and the City's recommendation for approval of the Amended Plan and
Boundary Expansion to the County Manager for Miami -Dade County for review and
analysis, and to request subsequent transmittal to the Miami -Dade County Commission
for legislative action.
PLANNING RECOMMENDATION: Approval with conditions.
JUSTIFICATION:
In 2001, the SEOPW CRA found it desirable and necessary to amend the existing 1982
SEOPW Redevelopment Plan and to incorporate infringing slum and bright properties that
negatively impact the value of properties within the SEOPW redevelopment area. In
accordance with the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, the "Act" (Florida Statutes,
Chapter 163, Part III), specifically including section 163.361 and section 163.362, the CRA
embarked on the process of updating the existing Plan and held several publicly noticed
community meetings and workshops to obtain stakeholders input. CRA staff and its
consultants worked closely with the City of Miami and the Planning and Zoning department
to ensure that the Amended Plan was in compliance with the City of Miami's Comprehensive
Plan.
On December 13, 2004, pursuant to resolution CRA R-04-14, the SEOPW Board of
Directors approved the Amended Plan and authorized staff to transmit the Amended
Plan and the CRA's recommendation for approval to the City of Miami for review and
subsequent legislative action. As required by section 163.361, the CRA sent public
notices to the taxing authorities located within the CRA's jurisdiction by registered mail
fifteen (15) days prior to this City Commission meeting date, and publicly noticed the
legislative item in the Daily Business Review, Miami Today and Miami Times newspaper
publications.

BACKGROUND
The plan is an update to the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan from
1982. The update was prepared for the CRA by Dover Kohl & Partners and addresses
the changing needs, markets and urban design principles for the area. This item was
previously presented to the City Commission for acceptance and approval in concept.
The current application is for adoption and transmittal to Miami -Dade County for
legislative action.
As presented the Plan is appropriate in its broad and conceptual recommendations for
the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA area. However, as submitted herein for
approval, the plan sets out a priority list for implementation. Such a list may be
inappropriate in that the plan incorporates many components for which insufficient
implementation details may not be complete.
Therefore, it is recommended that the plan be adopted without the proposed list of
priorities.
