BROWNFIELDS AREA EXPANSION
AGENDA SUMMARY ATTACHMENT
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
-The Miami City Commission previously designated certain areas within the City of Miami to be
Brownfields Areas, which were determined to have redevelopment potential that might be limited by
actual or perceived environmental issues, pursuant to Resolution 98-242, adopted March 10, 1998,
Resolution 99-197, adopted March 23, 1999 and Resolution 05-0117, adopted February 24, 2005.
However, these areas do not comprehensively cover all existing and potential Brownfields Sites
within the City of Miami.
- After further analyses, the Department of Economic Development (the "Department") has
determined that expansion of the Brownfields Area is warranted to facilitate and encourage
rehabilitation and redevelopment of additional existing and potential Brownfields Sites in areas
located outside the original designation boundaries.
- The current Brownfields Area expansion within the recently (01/01/06) augmented Enterprise Zone
will encompass Mell Reese Park and approximately 27 other known environmentally contaminated
sites located on sections of West Flagler, SW 8th street, SW 27th Avenue, SW 17th Avenue & SW
12th Avenue without the requirement of a public hearing, immediately providing stakeholders access
to incentives foriremediation and redevelopment. The total proposed Brownfields Area will cover
additional known contaminated sites located in Virginia Key, and sections of Allapattah, however
these areas are outside the Enterprise Zone boundary and each will require a public hearing before the
additional expansion can occur.
