Conceptually, the Omni Redevelopment Area should be divided into two general
sub -areas, delineated by N.E. 2nd Avenue. The sub -area located to the east of
N.E. 2nd Avenue is proposed , to be a high-rise, high -intensity mixed
residential/commercial area. The area located to the west of N.E. 2nd Avenue
is proposed to be a low to mid -rise moderate intensity commercial/industrial
district.' Within each of the two general sub -areas are smaller specific land
use zonesdescribed later in this section.
The reasons for the distinction between the two general sub -areas are both
geographic and market oriented. The sub -area east of N.E. 2nd Avenue is better
sui ted' :to attract high -intensity urban development due to the amenity provided
by Biscayne Bay and the visibility and access offered by proximity to Biscayne
Boulevard. The sub -area to the west of N.E. 2nd Avenue cannot be expected to
sustain highintensityuses due to the limited regional market for such growth,
and_the sub -area's relative lack of amenity, visibility, and accessibility. An
additional impediment to large scale redevelopment is the existing pattern of
small individual lots and fragmented ownership. This Omni West area Is best
suited to provide a broad range of commercial uses and support services for the
downtown area such as printing. furniture and office supplies, storage,
automotive repair, construction supplies, import-export businesses, and seaport
services. It is also well located for certain specialty uses such as
educational facilities and TV/radio broadcast studios.
Long range projections of market demand for housing, retail, office, and hotel
development were made by an independent economic consultant, Hammer Siler
ueorge, Assoc., in conjunction with the preparation of the Downtown Miami ,.
Master Plan. The forecasts summarized in Appendix B show two alternative
growth potentials for the Omni area, each reflecting projected economic trends
and anticipated market share of the downtown area. These projections indicate
minimal potential for growth in future space needs for general tenant office
use and retail shoppers goods.
A
dccordingly, this plan does not envision the Omni area to be a major office
istrict similar to the existing Brickell and Central Business District office
concentrations, nor does it encourage major new concentrations of retail
shopping similar to the existing Omni mall. Rather, it encourages a balance of-,
land uses, relying on an increased resident population to support the ground
level retail/restaurant uses needed to activate the sidewalk environment, and
specialty uses such as the media/communications industry, or owner -occupants
such as the Dade County School System and Knight-Ridder Corp. to anchor the
market for office/commercial construction.
The location and distribution of proposed land use activities is illustrated in
the Proposed Land Use Plan (see map 6). The following is a description of all
land use categories proposed within the area by type,.location and intensity.
1. High Density Mixed -Use - this predominant land use category in the
redevelopment area is designated for parcels located generally
south of N.E. 17th Terrace and east of N.E. 2nd Avenue. Future

development in this area will be predominantly high density
residential and commercial uses, including hotel, office, retail,
and entertainment activities. Allowable floor area ratios (FAR)
range from six (6.0) to ten and one half (10.5), depending on the 1
type of use and specific location of structures. Actual
development intensities are expected to be in the range of 3.0-4.0
FAR, coincident with market demand.
2. Commercial/Industrial - The area designated for this use lies
between the FLU Railroad right-of-way and N.E. 1st Avenue, south of
the Miami City Cemetery. The predominant uses should include
general commercial and light industrial uses such as wholesale, car
service, warehousing, light manufacturing and other uses permitted
by the CG-2 District of the Zoning Ordinance. The emphasis will be
on accommodating downtown. support services, media district services
and seaport related services. Special design and development
guidelines shall be formulated to improve the appearance and
desirability of the area with attractive landscaping and building
design, and to ensure provision of visual barriers from unsightly
activities. These design standards should ensure that special uses
such as a convention center or educational institution could exist
harmoniously, if located in the area. Allowable floor area ratio
shall not exceed 1.72.
3. General Commercial - The predominant use in this area,, zing
twelve city blocks between N.E. 1st and 2nd Avenues; s,
service establishments with emphasis on activities related,he
media district and fashion industries. New development' shall ' be
consistent with the regulations specified by the CG-2 District of
the Zoning Ordinance with.a maximum allowable floor area ratio of
1.72.
4. Moderate High Density Residential - Development in this two and a
half block area adjacent to Pace Park should be predominantly
residential with related uses as defined by the RG-3 District of
the Zoning Ordinance. Allowable floor area ratio should not
exceed 1.72.
5. Moderate - High Density Commercial/Residential - This use is
proposed tor the area located north of N.E. l/th Terrace between
N.E. 2nd Avenue and N.E. 4th Avenue. Development in this area
should be limited to structures appropriate for residential and
commercial developments as defined by the CR-3 district of the
Zoning Ordinance. Generally permitted uses in this district
include multifamily dwellings, retail, office and service
establishments with maximum allowable floor area ratio of 1.72.
Residential development should be encouraged by offering an
intensity bonus. This could represent an increase in development
intensity of approximately 50% over the present FAR of 1.72 or a
total of FAR 2.42. This is appropriate to ease the transition
from the floor area ratios of 6-10 permitted south of N.E. 17th
Terrace to the maximum floor area ratio of 1.72 permitted north of
N.E. 20th Street.

SUBMITTED INTO THE

ITEM 7;t7:1 ON 11-tm.04,. •
The Community Redevelopment Act outlines the minimum criteria for community
redevelopment plans and authorizes the use of various municipal powers to
implement them. However, the success of the redevelopment depends, to a large
measure, upon the effectiveness of mechanisms available to implement and
regulate the plan recommendations. —
This section outlines major implementation tools and regulations that shall
apply to new development and redevelopment within the Omni Redevelopment Area.
A. ZONING PLAN
The Zoning Plan provides a major vehicle for implementing the Proposed Land
Use Plan. It proposes some changes to the existing zoning within the area.
In general, the existing zoning categories are retained, in some cases SPI
(Special Public Interest) overlay districts are introduced, and some
revisions are proposed to district boundaries as necessary to accomplish
redevelopment objectives.
Existing zoning is shown on Map 11; and proposed changes are shown on Mau 12
and described below. Zoning categories incorporated within this plan are
illustrated on Map 13 Proposed Zoning.
1. Create a SPI-6.1 zoning district to replace the existing pattern o�
unrelated zoning districts in the area east of North Bayshore Drive.
This new zoning classification should have all of the essential
characteristics of the adjoining SPI-6 district; however, greater
emphasis should be placed upon residential uses and special waterfront
development design standards. To ensure that residential uses are
developed within this district or in nearby areas, the Floor Area Ratio
for, non-residential uses should be limited to approximately 3.0, with
bonuses up "to FAR 6.0-8.0 (depending upon proximity to Metromover
Stations) in exchange for on -site housing or assistance for an
equivalent amount of off -site housing through contribution to the City
of Miami's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The following existing
zoning districts should be changed to SPI-6.1:
-- CR-2/7 immediately south of Pace Park
-- CBD-1/9 between North Bayshore Drive and Biscayne Bay north of N.t.
15th Street
- - CR-3/7 along North Bayshore Drive and west of N.E. Bayshore Court
and Herald Plaza
- - CG-1/7 east of N.E. Bayshore Court and Herald Plaza
2. Expand the western boundary of the CR-3/7 district located between N.E.
17th Terrace and N.E. 20th Street to include CG-1/7 district lying east
of N.E. 2nd Avenue.
3. Extend and straighten the western boundary of RG-3/7 district locatglik
north of N.E. 19th Street to include a small pocket of RG-3/6 distric
