intersections to be impacted by the site, whichever is larger.
•
•
The Traffic Impact Analysis is included under Tab 2 of the Supporting

(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. 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 structures located on the property.
(f). Environmental Zone
