A traffic analysis shall be submitted for an area within approximately 1/4 mile of the site, or an area including the major intersections to be impacted by the site, whichever is larger. The Traffic Impact Analysis is included under Tab 2 of the Supporting Documents. b. Economic impact data shall be provided, including estimates for construction costs, construction employment, and permanent employment and shall demonstrate that the proposed development is favorable to the economy, public services, environment and housing supply of the City. The Economic Impact Study is included under Tab 4 of the Supporting Documents. c. A housing impact assessment. 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. 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 and tinted/laminated glass. The building is equipped with modern mechanical equipment which are up to standard and energy efficient. e. Historic Buildings The property contains no historic buildings. f. Environmental Zone The Property is not located within an environmental preservation district.
