• It is found that the proposed open space for the project (35,445 square feet) is
below the minimum required open space (39,458 square feet at 10% GLA) for this
project. Per the applicant's application, the net differential between the required and
provided open space requirements will comply with the regulations set forth in
Section 907.2.2.1 as they pertain to the Park and Open Space Trust Fund
administered by the City of Miami.
• It is found that the proposed urban plaza space for the project (29,162 square feet)
is well above the minimum required urban plaza space (19,728 square feet at 5%
GLA) for this project.
• It is found that the project is expected to cost approximately $334,100,000, and to
employ approximately 2,400 workers during construction (FTE-Full Time
Employees); The project will also result in the creation of approximately 1,725
permanent new jobs (FTE) and will generate approximately $3,095,270 annually in
tax revenues to the City (2006 dollars).
• It is found that on April 24, 2006, the City of Miami Public Works Department
provided a review of the project and commented that (a) Repletting of the property
will be required to remove the platted easements; and that the following street
improvements shall be required: (b) North Bayshore Drive — Construct new concrete
sidewalk, curb and gutter adjacent to the project site and replace damaged median
curbs adjacent to the project site. Mill and resurface the entire width, curb to curb,
between NE 13th Street and NE 15th Street. Coordinate final pavement restoration
with the Performing Arts Center and City Square Residential projects. The
contractor shall also be responsible to replace any sidewalk, curb and gutter
damaged by their operations adjacent to the Performing Arts Center; (c) Herald
Plaza — Replace all damaged and broken sidewalk, curb and gutter on both sides of
the roadway adjacent to the project site. Construct new sidewalk and curb and
gutter following the 25-foot corner radius. Mill and resurface the entire width, curb to

required for the proposed street brick work and a maintenance covenant shall be
required for the non-standard improvements in the right of way. Coordinate the
proposed improvements with the Knight Ridder projects; (d) NE 15th Street —
Replace damaged sidewalk curb and gutter adjacent to the project site; (e) NE 13th
Street — Coordinate the replacement of damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter and any
pavement restoration with the Florida Department of Transportation.
• It is found that Miami -Dade Public Schools provided a preliminary review of the
proposed project on April 24, 2006. As the development does not contain residential
dwelling units, the requirements of the Interlocal Agreement are not triggered.
• It is found that on May 4, 2006, the Miami -Dade Aviation Department provided a
Height Analysis review of the proposed project and found that it conforms to the
Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinances at that location. Any proposed
construction exceeding 200 feet requires the applicant to file with the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 7460-1, "Notice of Proposed Construction
Alteration for Determination of Known Hazards". In addition, construction cranes for
this project exceeding 200 feet in height must be filed using the same form.

• It is found that the proposed project was reviewed by the Internal Design Review
Committee on May 9, 2006, and the following revised pertinent comments were
made: Urban Design/Context - (a) While the committee appreciates the applicant's
attempts to develop the project with ground floor retail liner and streetscaping, the
project as proposed still consists of a superblock that internalizes most activity within
a private corridor and elevated walkways. These areas are incorporated into the
mass of the complex, thus drawing activity off of the street, and they do little to
promote a diverse and lively urban environment. Shoppers will have little need to
reach the public street level and engage with the revitalized Arts District; (b) As
stated previously, develop NE 14th Street as a "public" street to provide for the
highest level of connectivity with neighboring CRA areas and future connectivity with
the waterfront. We understand that the current segment of NE 14th Street between
Bayshore and Herald Plaza Drive is not public right of way, but we urge the project
to develop the area as a fully operational public street with a seamless connection to
the existing city street grid. This would include that the street be fully open to the
sky, open to typical vehicular traffic, and be developed at street level with a high
percentage of active uses that promote pedestrian activity; (c) As previously stated,
chamfer the southwest corner of the building to respond to the existing urban form
(Performing Arts Center) developed at the intersection of NE Bayshore and NE 13th
Street. This edge does not react to the surrounding properties; (d) As previously
stated, consider parallel parking on all exterior streets; (e) Confirm the design and
implementation of the circular plaza on Bayshore Drive with the Public Works
Department; (f) Provide dimensions of all vehicular entries and curb cuts in this
project; Architecture - (a) While the committee appreciates the developments in the
massing and materials of the project, the architectural treatment continues to bear
little relationship to the human scale. It presents a superblock of 100' tall blank walls
along all sides of two critical blocks within the Performing Arts District, and is
unacceptable; (b) The proposed facade solution, consisting of large panels which
vary slightly in height, setback, and material, while an improvement over the original
submittal of the project (09-27-2005) continues to be unacceptable. These panels
continue to be out of scale with the pedestrian environment that is envisioned for the
Performing Arts Center. Their dimensions, which vary from 100'x30' to 100'x120',
are too large and dominate the streetscape; (c) Indicate the depth and dimensions of
all facade treatment in plan; (d) The scale of the proposed louvers, metal panels,
window openings, awnings, and other architectural embellishment on the building is
too large. These treatments create an unrealistic facade and an uncomfortable
pedestrian environment. Continue to develop these architectural treatments with the
proper human scale; (e) The vehicular ramp at the north side of the parking garage
serves as an important termination to the view south down North Bayshore Drive.
Provide a more architectural solution to this moment of the building rather than the
proposed 90' tall advertisement; Materials - (a) The architectural treatment,
consisting of large blocks of varying materials, shall be further developed to include
a wider range of materials, such as stained concrete and spandrel glass; (b) Provide
dimensions of all facade modulations and commercial panels on the elevations, so
that the committee has a better sense of the impact of this project on the pedestrian
realm; (c)The proposed use of metal louvers and mesh along much of the facade of
the two blocks is unacceptable; (d)The committee is concerned that the metal with
green lighting will appear a typical gray during the day and will blend with the
adjacent panels, creating an unbroken wall of metal that will become monotonous;
(e) The metal grille work (sheet A-3.05) consists of panels that are nearly a story
high, which is unacceptable. Reconsider the scale and articulation of these panels
and consider a more human -scale solution; (f) The "Aluminum Frame with Inset
06-01053mu
Page 5 of 10
Mesh Panels" (sheet A-3.04) is rendered to appear as the same material as the
"clear glazing" of the retail storefronts. Please update these renderings to accurately
depict the character of the material; (g) Clarify whether the white wall depicted on
sheet A-3.06 is stone cladding or scored stucco; (h) The awning treatment located
on the east and west facade of the building (sheet A-3.06) is nearly 20' high and
bears little relationship to the pedestrian scale of the street. Continue to refine the
scale and articulation of these awnings and consider a more human -scale solution;
(i) Update all plans and elevations to include the water feature depicted on sheet A-
5.08, if applicable; (j) Provide additional information regarding the details of the
interior corridor, including the elevator, escalator, materials, art sculpture, catwalks,
roofing and railings; Signage - (a) Confirm the use of large-scale advertisement
panels with the Zoning Department; (b) The proposed Commercial Panels on the
North and East elevations of the building are out of scale with the context and are
inappropriate. The precedent example (sheet A-3.08) depicts a panel that is around
20' high and has a powerful impact on the pedestrian realm. The proposed panels
in this project, however, will be nearly 90' high will have an impact on the pedestrian
realm that is inappropriate. Reduce the size of these panels to be more in keeping
with the human scale; (c) The retail signage for the first floor (sheet A-3.05) is nearly
a story high and is unacceptable. Reduce the size of this signage to be more in
keeping with the pedestrian scale. Meet with the zoning department to confirm the
size of this signage; (d) The quantity and locations of signage in the project is
excessive and does not meet current Zoning Code; Parking Garage - (a) it is critical
that parked cars and mechanical systems within the garage be hidden from view.
Provide details of the materials proposed to cover the garage openings, and indicate
how all vehicles and mechanical systems within the garage will be concealed from
view. Include wall sections and precedent photographs so that the committee can
better understand the garage treatment; (b) Provide architectural treatment or a
rooftop garden on the top floor of the parking garage, as it will be highly visible from
the surrounding high-rise buildings. In particular, ensure that all cars on the top level
of the garage will be hidden from view from above; (e) Consider lining the second
floor of the parking garage with office space along Bayshore Drive, and if possible,
Herald Plaza; (f) Consider providing second floor retail liner along the interior street.
This will create a more dynamic and active retail space, and will enhance the
experience of the interior street; (g) Reduce the width of the truck loading entrance
and exit to the minimum permitted by zoning. Detail these entrances and exits so
that the building frontage, streetscape, and pedestrian realm of the sidewalk are as
continuous as possible; (h) Provide additional details of the treatment of the loading
space located off of Herald Plaza. If possible, this loading space should be
relocated so that Herald Plaza has a more continuous pedestrian realm; Landscape/
Pedestrian Realm - (a) All landscaping and streetscaping must conform to the
Performing Arts Center and the Omni streetscape guidelines, and should reflect the
existing streetscape improvements that are located in the right of way. The proposal
to match the pavings of the Performing Arts Center is unacceptable. Please consult
Mr. Frank Rallason (305) 679-6800, for more information; (b) Provide shade trees
and landscaping along Herald Plaza in the same manner as proposed along North
Bayshore Drive; (c) Articulate the pedestrian sidewalk to give dominance to the
pedestrian realm over the vehicular areas. Achieve this by providing a sidewalk with
a consistent pattern and height that continues across vehicular areas. Vehicles shall
rise to the sidewalk level with ramping beginning at the outer edge of the curb, with
the ramp slope being the maximum allowed by Public Works. As part of your details
and materials sheet in the final submittal, please include a detail of this vehicular
ramping; (d) Clarify whether the planters at the bases of the columns and in the
06-01053mu
Page 6 of 10
facade openings, depicted on sheet A-3.04 and A-5.05, will be included in the
landscape plan for the site; (e) The City of Miami has a tree removal application form
and instructions that will need to be acquired. Please submit a survey of existing
landscape. The City uses a method of "sum of inches" diameter at breast height to
calculate replacement values vs. the county's method of sq. footage. Please refer to
the City of Miami tree protection ordinance passed January 2005 and show
necessary tables/ replacement species and sizes. The Planning Department's
review resulted in design modifications that were then recommended for approval to
the Planning Director.
• It is found that the Large Scale Development Committee reviewed the project on
May 10, 2006 to address the expressed technical concerns raised at said Large
Scale Development Committee meeting.

traffic signal at NE 14th Terrace/North Bayshore Drive intersection that the applicant
needs to contact the appropriate local agencies to secure the formal approval and
that the applicant must submit the approval document to the City staff for review
prior to tendering the project to the Planning Advisory Board. Additionally the
applicant must submit the relevant document showing the hours of operation and
circulation of the delivery and service trucks of the Miami Herald printing facility
around the project vicinity.
It is found that with respect to all additional criteria as specified in Section 1305.2 of
