The zoning designation for the property is SD-5/Brickell Avenue Area Office — Residential District, which allows an FAR of 4.25 for mixed use development, or 937,822 s.f. without bonuses. The 20% PUD bonus adds 187,564 s.f., for a total allowable FAR of 1,125,386 s.f. With the Phase 1 apartment building containing 531,118 s.f., this leaves 594,268 s.f allowable for the Phase 2 Office Tower. The Office Tower contains a total of 519,880 s.f. The project includes retail at grade level, and an open breezeway through the Office Building connecting Brickell Avenue to the plaza in front of the residential tower to the west. The office lobby commands the southern portion of the site, and the office parking garage is faced with loft style office space fronting the southern part of the garage. The top of the office parking garage is a landscaped deck, which matches the height of the residential recreation deck. The Residential Tower is 438'-8" tall and the Office Tower is 526'-6" tall.

(a) A traffic analysis shall be submitted for an area within approximately 114 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 has 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. Tinted glass will be used throughout the building. Electrically, all exterior and landscape lighting will be controlled by means of time clocks and photocell switches. Energy saving lamps, ballasts and fixtures are being considered at cores and public spaces. (e). Historic Buildings • • • There are no historic buildings. (f). Environmental Zone The property is located within an Archaeological Conservation Area.
