SUPPLEMENT TO AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 54 OF THE CITY CODE
BASE BUILDING LINES — N.E. 11 STREET
The original platted subdivision that created N.E. 11 Street in the Park West area dedicated a
right-of-way of 50 feet. The roadway was subsequently developed with pavement, curb and
gutter and sidewalk conforming to the 50 foot wide right-of-way.
In 1985 the City Commission, by Ordinance, established a zoned base building line width of 75
feet for this roadway thereby reserving additional property in anticipation of future widening in
accordance with the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan. An evaluation of
current conditions west of Biscayne Boulevard reveals the following:
1. The major transportation arteries in this portion of City are Biscayne Boulevard, I-395
and 1-95. N.E. 11 Street serves as local city street.
2. There is already significant existing development to the east and west that would
preclude this street from ever reaching the specified 75 feet in the future as a standard
typical section width from Biscayne to 1-95. Even if they were widened the entire
distance, there is no ramp connection to 1-95 which would limit their effectiveness from a
transportation system standpoint.
3. Requiring one block to be widened would be of limited benefit, with the possible
exception of allowing dedicated right or left turn lanes at an intersection.
4. The City already has a JPA in place with FDOT whereby 9th, 10d', and 11t Streets
between N.E. 2 Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard will be reconstructed at their current
typical sections.
5. The FDOT 1-395 PD&E study and Port tunnel study which are both currently underway
may potentially have significant impacts to the surface street network in the future.
6. The City's streetcar project will provide premium transit access to the adjacent properties
to encourage the usage of transit in the urban City core.
The Public Works Department is recommending to the City of Miami Commission that the zoned
base building line width of N.E. 11 Street between N.E. 1 Avenue and N.E. 2 Avenue be reduced
from 75 feet wide to the original developed 50 foot wide right-of-way width to conform with
current and future regulated development. Nothing will physically change on this roadway if the
Ordinance is adopted.
The Pubic Works Department's review of these transportation corridors reveal that the current 50
foot wide developed roadway adequately serves the transportation needs of the public.
It is respectfully recommended that the zoned base building line width of N.E. 11 Street between
N.E. 1 Avenue and N.E. 2 Avenue be reduced from 75 feet wide to the original developed 50 foot
wide right-of-way to conform with current and future regulated development.
The Department of Police, Fire -Rescue and Solid Waste have been notified of the proposed
reduction of the zoned width of these rights -of -way.
