Describe and discuss in general terms all major elements of the proposed development in its completed form. Include in this discussion the proposed phases (or stages) of development (not to exceed five years), magnitude in the appropriate units from Chapter 28-24, F.A.C., where applicable, and expected beginning and completion dates for construction. Background The area of the DDRI that is downtown Miami constitutes the earliest origins of the City of Miami. Since the turn of the century, the land where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay has been the center of economic, civic, and social life for the residents of this part of South Florida. The vitality and vibrancy of the city is reflected in its urban core: through the city's towering office and residential buildings, its active markets, streets, and plazas, and its tropical waterfront location. The DDRI area includes all of the conventional components of a major regional center. Located within the DDRI boundaries are waterside parks, theaters, arenas, museums, libraries, local, state, and federal courthouses, a community college, and the government seat of Miami - Dade County. The DDRI area is estimated to include 10,500,000 square feet of office space, 2,000,000 square feet of retail space, 6,000 residential units, and 4,600 hotel rooms. This area is served by highways, limited access freeways, heavy and light rail transit service, and a bus network, as well as an international seaport and international airport. The prosperity and health of the Miami -Dade County region is directly and inextricably tied to the prosperity of the downtown area. The downtown area serves as the backbone of Miami's urban core, offering the greatest opportunity for a truly mixed -use community. This community is bound by integrated public spaces, which provide opportunities for the interaction and congregation of all of the City and region's citizens. Downtown Miami is the most easily identifiable location for both residents and visitors to imagine when thinking about the City of Miami. The downtown is the most efficient location for growth. It is a central location served by all modes of transit and equally accessible to the broadest range of commuters, residents, and workers. The area is currently served by all Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DR( Update Question 10 — General Project Description Revised Page 10-1 forms of public and private infrastructure, and requires minimal amount of alteration to the environment, given its present status as urban land. Future growth and development in the area of the DDRI is an emphasized priority of local and regional plans, as demonstrated by its inclusion in Miami -Dade County's Urban Infill Area, the City of Miami's Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), the City's Special Transportation Area (STA), and the South Florida Regional Planning Council's (SFRPC) Eastward Ho! Initiative. in addition, to recognize the impact of the DDRI area's transit services, Miami -Dade County has granted specialized level of service to roadways adjacent to transit facilities and has adopted them as a part of their Comprehensive Development Master Plan. Future development in downtown is vital to maintaining and improving the region's health and prosperity. The major land uses of downtown Miami - office, residential, and commercial - are in constant transition as technological and economic factors affect the demand for the type, location, and amount of these products. Redevelopment and new development are the only courses for responding to these market trends and ensuring that downtown Miami can provide the correct supply to meet today and tomorrow's demand. Project Description The Downtown Development of Regional Impact (DDRI) encompasses the area of intensive urban development in the City of Miami that is under the jurisdiction of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), with the exception of the area between NE/NW 5th Street and 1-395 known as Park West. In lieu of a master plan of development, the DDRI is divided into three areas: Omni, Central Business District, and Brickell. These areas contain urban and high intensity land uses, including high intensity commercial and government office space, high intensity residential units, hotels, institutional uses, and attraction/recreational uses. As the central business district and downtown area for a large city and metropolitan area, the project contains numerous public facilities (municipal, state, and federal as well as institutional) and regional activity centers. The project area contains a total of approximately 903 acres of land including approximately 78 acres currently zoned and developed as City parks. Figure 10-1, DDRI Boundary, presents an aerial photograph of the site showing the general location. The adjacent land uses are generally residential of varying intensity.

Table 10-1, Downtown DRI Development Program, outlines the type and intensity of land uses in Increment I and increment II of the DDRI. The DDRI master development order and Increment I development order were originally adopted by the City of Miami Commission in 1987. The approved master development order and Increment I development order specify the total amount of development planned for each land use category but provide flexibility for development located anywhere within the project area, subject to local land development regulations. The original development order has been amended eight times. None of the changes was found to constitute a substantial deviation per Chapter 380, F.S. Approved increment I and proposed Increment II development programs specify the type and intensity of land use in downtown Miami through May 28, 2009. Development under Increment I of the DDRI is currently underway and will continue until May 28, 2003. It is possible that as of May 28, 2003, unreserved development credit from the Increment I development program will still exist. It is the intention of the applicant and encompassed within the analysis of this application that this unreserved development credit will be transferred into Increment II of this application. B. Provide a breakdown of the existing and proposed land uses on the site for each phase of development through completion of the project. The developed land uses should be those identified in Section 380.0651, F.S. and Chapter 28-24, F.A.G.

Describe, in general terms, how demand for this project was determined. The DDRI Increment II development program comprises multiple development components including the core uses of office, retail, residential, and hotel, as well as other uses including convention center, warehouse/industrial, institutional, and attractions. The methodology for determining total demand by use is summarized as follows: Office Demand Demand for office space in downtown Miami is heavily influenced by the region's office -related employment growth. Office employment growth is generally characterized by the Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (FIRE) industry sector as well as specific employment within the Services sector. As displayed in Table 10-2, Office Supply and Demand Profile, from 1990 to 2000, Miami -Dade County's office -employment increased from an estimated 93,000 to 127,000 persons, or an increase of 3.1 percent per year. The employment trend is anticipated to continue during the next five to ten years. From 1970 to 1985, downtown Miami increased its office supply from roughly 4 million square feet to nearly 10.5 million square feet, or an average annual increase of 400,000 square feet. Refer to Table 10-2, Office Supply and Demand Profile. Accordingly, from 1985 to 2000, Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description Page 10-6 (R) TABLE 10-2 OFFICE SUPPLY AND DEMAND PROFILE Annual Average Average % Annual Growth in Average Annual Annual Net Annual Net Growth in Occupied % Annual Growth Completions - SF Absorption Absorption Stock Stock in Employment (Past 15 Yrs.) (Past 15 Yrs.) (Past 3 Yrs.) (Past 15 Yrs.) (Past 10 Yrs.) (Past 10 Yrs.) 128,545 192,544 395,940 1.1% 2.2% 3.1% Source: Lambert Advisory increased from roughly 10.5 million to 12.5 million square feet, which represents an average annual increase of 130,000 square feet. Net absorption of office space, however, reached nearly 3.0 million square feet (or an average 200,000 square feet annually) during the past 15-years, largely the result of a 25 percent vacancy rate during the late 1980'sl early 1990's that decreased to approximately 10 percent by 2000. Importantly, net absorption of office space reached nearly 400,000 square feet per year from 1997 to 2000, a trend that has supported the construction of nearly 1.0 million square feet of new office space, all of which will be completed by 2004. Presently, downtown Miami's office market comprises between 25 to 30 percent of the total office inventory for the County. Assuming the County's office employment remains strong and, furthermore, downtown Miami continues to capture its "fair share" of office demand over the long term, allocating 3.2 million square feet of office (or more than 400,000 square feet annually) through 2009 is more than adequate. Given unreserved credits of 1.20 million square feet in Increment 1, and reserved yet unbuilt MUSP credits of 657,000 square feet, Increment II should include 1.3 million additional square feet of space to meet demand. The analysis of how we derive total demand can be found in Table 10-3, Estimated Office Demand (through 2009). In Table 3, office space demand is determined by considering two alternate scenarios. First, the percentage of the estimated regional employment growth from column 3 that will be captured in downtown is calculated at both 25 percent and 30 percent. Table 1 then projects how much office space demand would be created at either capture rates, assuming either an average space of 250 square feet per worker (columns 6 and 7) or 300 square feet per worker (columns 8 and 9).

Downtown Development Authority Question 10 - General Project Description Downtown Miami DRI Update Page 10-8 Residential Demand Residential growth in downtown Miami accelerated significantly after 1980. This is evidenced by the fact that from 1980 to 2000, the residential inventory (for -sale and rental) increased from approximately 1,450 units to more than 6,000 units, or an average of roughly 230 units annually. Following a stagnant residential market during the early to mid- 1990's, development activity has strengthened considerably during the past few years. More than 1,500 units have been built since 1995, with an additional 1,500 units under construction and/or planned for completion by 2005. Strong employment growth downtown provided the impetus for residential development. Although there is no quantitative data identifying the number of employees working and living downtown, a recent DDA study indicates that nearly 20 percent of downtown office workers indicate a high-level of interest in living downtown. Additionally, through various market surveys of for -sale developments, foreign buyers (either second home or investor) have provided nearly equal support to housing demand, predominately in the for -sale market. Therefore, in an effort to determine the upper limit of residential growth for downtown Miami, it is assumed that: 1) a maximum 25 to 30 percent of downtown employment growth will reside downtown and, 2) demand from outside of the City will continue to provide substantial support. Therefore based upon historic patterns the upper level of residential demand downtown will approximate 5,384 units through 2009 although given the current rate of housing demand growth in the Downtown area, moderate changes in consumer preferences, and a push for more affordable housing development in the CBD, demand for residential could be as much as 7,500 units. It is important to note that this is in addition to the 1,500 units currently planned for completion by 2005. Table 10-4, Estimated Residential Demand (through 2009), provides annual estimates for residential demand from 2001 through 2009. Table 4 reflects three demand generators for downtown housing. Columns 4 and 5 calculate the amount of housing demand created by new workers in the downtown area, assuming a 25 or 30 percent capture rate of estimated regional employment growth in the downtown. Columns 6 and 7 reflect that an equal amount of housing demand will be created by people not working downtown but attracted to the downtown for its urban, high density lifestyle. Column 8 reflect an additional demand created by the pent-up demand for downtown housing that as of yet is undeveloped, Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description Page 10-9 as well as demand created by local, regional, and state housing programs which encourage and promote downtown as a residential location. Hotel Demand Hotel development in downtown Miami experienced its strongest growth from 1970 to 1985, increasing from an estimated 1,100 units to more than 4,600 units during the period, or an average of approximately 230 units per year. From 1985 to 2000, hotel development slowed to slightly more than 500 total new rooms. However, based upon current construction, projects in planning, and recent completions, hotel development is once again on the rise with the addition of more than 1,000 hotel rooms anticipated by 2005. Based upon stable employment growth forecasts for downtown Miami, an allocation of 1,500 hotel rooms is provided for the Increment 11 development program. Retail Demand Downtown Miami comprises an estimated 2.0 million square feet of retail, of which nearly 60 percent is assumed to have been built prior to 1970. Retail development in downtown Miami has two primary components: tourist -related retail and limited commercial support for office workers and residents. Bayside Marketplace is the most recognized tourist -related facility, with the remaining tourist -retail (electronics, apparel) scattered throughout the central downtown core. Retail/commercial space supporting the downtown office workers and residents primarily consists of restaurants, with a limited amount of retail for convenience goods and supplies. As residential and office development continues within the downtown area, retail development will inevitably expand. In fact, there already appears to be at least 191,000 square feet of pent-up demand currently in the market as displayed in Table 10-5, Estimated Retail Space Demand (through 2009). Therefore, based upon employment and housing projections for downtown Miami, as well as expenditure patterns for office workers and residents, retail supply allocated to the Increment II development program approximates 750,000 square feet. Demand for Other Uses The estimates of demand for the other uses in the Increment II development program, specifically convention, wholesale/industrial, institutional, and attraction are based upon several assumptions. The 500,000 square feet allocated for Convention assumes that a new convention facility will be developed within the DDRI by 2009. The Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description Page 10-10 750,000 square feet allocated for Wholesale/Industrial assumes that telecommunications/technology hub, similar to the NAP Center in the Southeast Overtown / Park West DRI will be developed in the DDRI by 2009. The 60,000 seats allocated for Attractions/Recreation assumes that a 5,000-seat movie theater will be developed in the Brickell, Central Business District, and Omni areas by 2009 and a 45,000-seat baseball stadium will be developed in the DDRI by 2009. The marine office and government office categories from Increment have been discontinued in Increment II and such uses will draw credit from the office category.

Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description Page 10-14 G. Social and Economic Disparities The applicant will utilize economic development enhancement resource agencies and programs designed to involve small and minority businesses in the development and expansion of permanent job opportunities within the project. Examples of such agencies and programs include, but are not limited to, those listed in Exhibit 10-1, Economic Development Agencies and Job Training Providers. The applicant will attempt to access the range of job skills available in the region and promote greater labor force enhancement. The applicant will provide information about employment and training agencies that maintain a database of trained/skilled workers to consider in meeting the employment needs in the DDRI boundaries. Downtown Miami is the central business district for Miami -Dade County, and currently comprises a relatively balanced mix of commercial and residential development. The area south of the Miami River (Brickell) has experienced considerable development during the past several years, adding quality office, residential, hotel and retail product to the area. However, a considerable part of downtown, notably the central (downtown) and northern (Omni) sectors, contains older and less functional commercial and residential properties, with minimal new development activity occurring within these particular areas during the past several years. Based upon the magnitude of anticipated development, the Increment 11 development program will have a tremendous impact on Downtown Miami, as well as Miami -Dade County. Accordingly, the balanced development mix within the urban core will provide for diverse job opportunities among a broad range of skill and income levels. Most notably, the Increment II development program will provide for: • Reinvestment in the Older Urban Core Most of the recent downtown development has centered around Brickell Avenue. This includes a variety of office, residential, hotel and retail properties that has promoted the area as a desirable urban location for workers, residents and visitors. To this extent, the availability of land for future development is diminishing. As a result, reinvestment downtown should gravitate to other areas, namely the central and northern sectors. • Job Creation for Existing Low to Moderate Income Residences As reinvestment pushes into the central and northern downtown nodes, employment opportunities for surrounding low to moderate Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-15 income residences is significantly enhanced. As development (and job creation) move closer to these residences, issues of transportation and accessibility to jobs is significantly mitigated. • Appreciation in Land Value Reinvestment in some of the economically depressed areas of downtown will only have a positive impact on land/housing value for existing low to moderate income owners. Whereas land and building values have remained stagnant for many years, reinvestment will only increase the existing residential and commercial real estate values. • Development of Affordable Housing Investment in the central downtown area largely comprises of tax credit development and rehabilitation, which has helped to provide better housing at lower costs. The Increment II development program assumes considerable on -going development of affordable housing. PART 2 CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLANS A. Demonstrate how the proposed project is consistent with the local comprehensive plan and land development regulations. Indicate whether the proposed project will require an amendment to the adopted local comprehensive plan, including the capital improvements element. If so, please describe the necessary changes. The DDRI is consistent with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. In particular, the DDRI promotes or pursues the following goals, objectives, or policies: • Goal LU-1 Maintain a land use pattern that (1) protects and enhances the quality of life in the city's residential neighborhoods; (2) fosters redevelopment and revitalization of blighted or declining areas; (3) promotes and facilitates economic development and the growth of job opportunities in the city; (4) fosters the growth and development of downtown as a regional center of domestic and international commerce, culture and entertainment; (5) promotes the efficient use of land and minimizes land use conflicts; and (6) protects and conserves the city's significant natural and coastal resources. Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-16 The DRRI is consistent with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan's first Future Land Use goal in its entirety. The DDRI is focused on improving the process for development in the heart of Miami's urban core, where infrastructure is most economically available; preexisting, urban, mixed -used environments currently exist, and new investment is needed and would succeed. All development that occurs as a part of the DDRI will comply with all local land development regulations and will be consistent with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. • Objective LU-1.1 Ensure that land and development regulations are consistent with fostering a high quality of life in all areas, including the timely provision of public facilities that meet or exceed the minimum level of service (LOS) standards adopted in the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. The DDRI program includes 7,500 new residential units in the Brickell, Central Business, and Omni areas that will enhance urban residential opportunities. • Objective LU-1.2 Promote the redevelopment and revitalization of blighted, declining or threatened residential, commercial and industrial areas. The DDRI area includes some declining or threatened residential or commercial areas in the Omni section and neighborhoods above the Omni that will benefit from the investments that new development will bring. • Objective LU-1.3 The City will continue to encourage commercial, office, and industrial development within existing commercial, office, and industrial areas; increase the utilization and enhance the physical character and appearance of existing buildings; and concentrate new commercial and industrial activity in areas where the capacity of existing public facilities can meet or exceed the minimum standards for Level of Service (LOS) adopted in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE). The DDRI intends to concentrate new commercial, office, and residential activities in the traditional urban core of Miami, where Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-17 there presently exist commercial, office, residential, and light industrial areas. • Objective LU-1.4 Continue the growth of Downtown Miami, expand its role as a center of domestic and international commerce, further its development as a regional center for the performing arts and other cultural and entertainment activities and develop a urban residential base. The DDRI seeks to directly fulfill the intentions of this objective. Continue the growth of Downtown Miami, expand its role as a center of domestic and international commerce, further its development as a regional center for the performing arts and other cultural and entertainment activities and develop an urban residential base. • Objective LU-1.5 Land development regulations will protect the city's unique natural and coastal resources, and its historic and cultural heritage. All development that will be a part of the DDRI will comply with all City of Miami land development regulations, including those intended to protect natural, coastal, historic, and cultural resources. • Objective LU-1.6 Regulate the development or redevelopment of real property within the city to insure consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. All development that will be a part of the DDRI will also comply with all regulations intended to ensure consistency with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. • Goal HO-2 Achieve a livable city center with a variety of urban housing types for persons of all income levels. The DDRI is a part of the City of Miami's efforts to create a livable downtown with a variety of urban housing types. Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-18 • Goal CI-1 Adhere to sound fiscal management policies that ensure the timely provision of public facilities required to maintain existing public infrastructure, that meet the need for public facilities resulting from future development and redevelopment, and that enable the provision of public capital facilities that enhance the quality of life within the city. The DDRI is an integral part of the City of Miami's planning preparations for ensuring the timely provision of public capital facilities. • Objective CI-1.3 Ensure that future development and redevelopment pay an equitable, proportional share of the cost of public facilities required to maintain adopted LOS standards. The DDRI includes a mechanism for ensuring that future development pay an equitable, proportional share of the cost of public facilities. Due to the unique circumstances involving the nature and intent of the DDRI, no comprehensive amendment is required for the approval of the DDRI itself. Individual development projects that occur under the domain of this project may require specific comprehensive plan amendments. The review of any comprehensive plan amendments involving individual projects within the DDRI will be conducted pursuant to Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. and Chapter 163, F.S. Similarly, all permitting related to the development of individual projects within the DDRI will occur within a schedule associated with each individual project. No specific permitting is required for the master DDRI. B. Describe how the proposed development will meet goals and policies contained in the appropriate Regional Comprehensive Policy Plan. The DDRI supports the following goals and policies of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida (SRPP): • Strategic Regional Goal 2.1 Achieve longterm efficient and sustainable development patterns by guiding new development and redevelopment within the region to areas which are most intrinsically suited Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-19 for development, including areas (1) which are least exposed to coastal storm surges; (2) where negative impacts on the natural environment will be minimal; and (3) where public facilities and services already exist, are programmed or, on an aggregate basis, can be provided most economically. The DDRI area is urbanized, so negative impacts on the natural environment will not occur. The required public services already exist so their provision can be realized most economically. • Policy 2.1.6 Direct future development and redevelopment first to areas served by existing infrastructure and to other locations that are suitable for development, as identified in their comprehensive plans. In particular, local governments should coordinate with state officials to identify public transportation corridors and to promote development along those corridors by implementing investment strategies for providing infrastructure and services which are consistent with them. The DDRI area is served by all of the City and County's infrastructure and serves as the central hub for the City's public and private transportation systems and corridors. • Strategic Regional Goal 2.2 Revitalize deteriorating urban areas. The DDRI will significantly revitalize a deteriorated urban area. • Policy 2.2.1 Give priority to development in areas that are blighted, characterized by underdevelopment or underemployment and are in need of redevelopment; among these, secondary priority should be given to areas within which adequate infrastructure and support services are either programmed or available. The DDRI will prioritize development in urban areas that are in need of rehabilitation by removing the burden of the state approval process from local developers. • Policy 2.2.3 Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-20 Support the establishment of special level of service standards for localized areas (such as transportation concurrency exception areas) where designed to accomplish such growth management objectives as infill development on passed -over urban sites, redevelopment of deteriorated areas, establishment of Tong -term employment opportunities in neighborhoods having high unemployment, or the evolution of planned urban or suburban centers served by public transit. The entire DDRI area is within a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) adopted by the City of Miami. • Policy 2.2.4 Continue the development of the urban core concept and criteria in order to a) provide incentives for high density, urban centers; b) allow for flexibility in the expenditure of transportation system capital funds to create a more balanced mix of highways, transit and goods movement; and c) identify areas and corridors of high -quality transit service in which transportation levels of service standards may be based on person trips rather than vehicle trips. The DDRI is the manifestation of the City of Miami and Miami DDA's efforts to encourage the urban core concept. • Policy 2.2.5 Develop and implement incentives to attract public and private sector investment and the placement of major cultural facilities to downtown areas. The incentive of the DDRI for development in the downtown is the removal state approval for individual projects. This removal makes the development process faster and less uncertain. • Policy 2.2.6 Encourage the use of the downtown or areawide DRI as a planning tool for downtown areas and promote the increased participation of all affected parties in the process. Support the designation of Urban Central Business Districts and Regional Activity Centers in accordance with Section 28-24.014(10), F.A.C. Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-21 The incentive of the DDRI for development in the downtown is the removal of state regulatory approval for individual projects.

The DDRI will enhance the economic competitiveness of the region by preparing for the growth of development in a timely manner. • Policy 2.3.1 Establish a coherent vision of the region's land use and infrastructure needs between now and the planning horizon of the year 2015. In addition, extend the vision to the year 2025, consistent with the region's estimates of sustainable population in order to provide a framework for Tong -term analysis. The DDRI is based upon a thorough analysis of the future land use needs for downtown Miami and is intended as the preparation for the provision of efficient infrastructure to meet these land use needs. • Policy 2.3.5 Locate activity centers where appropriate infrastructure, support service and affordable housing already exist or are programmed, or where funding is otherwise committed. Appropriate infrastructure, support service and affordable housing are in the DDRI boundaries or are in very close proximity to the DDRI boundaries. • Policy 2.3.8 Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-22 Encourage the use of coordinated regulatory and programmatic approaches and financial incentives to promote compact, efficient urban growth patterns. The DDRI is an example of a coordinated regulatory and programmatic approach for encouraging efficient urban growth patterns between the Miami DDA and the City of Miami. • Policy 2.3.12 Provide incentives for development and redevelopment to use existing public facilities and services. The DDRI acts as an incentive for development to use existing public facilities and services. • Policy 2.3.19 Permit new development only when and where adequate excess capacity exists, is programmed or where funding to expand that capacity is otherwise made available; consider permitting new infili development or redevelopment in approved Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas. New development in the DDRI will take place where adequate capacity either exists or is programmed. • Policy 2.3.20 Encourage the clustering of places of employment in well - planned activity centers so as to elicit more efficient use of infrastructure and support services. The DDRI will cluster places of employment in efficient activity centers. • Policy 2.3.21 Encourage mixed -use development which allows the combination of functionally related land uses in order to promote the efficient use of infrastructure and support services. The DDRI will consist of mixed -use development that promotes the efficient use of infrastructure. • Strategic Regional Goal 4.1 Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRt Update Question 10 -- General Project Description (R) Page 10-23 Achieve a competitive and diversified regional economy, including lower unemployment rate and higher per capita income than the state and national average for Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties through the achievement of cutting edge human resources, economic development infrastructure and other resources to ensure a sustainable regional community. The DDRI contributes to the achievement of a competitive and diversified regional economy through the promotion of a high - intensity regional activity center. • Policy 4.1.10 Coordinate and develop a totally integrated, multi -modal regional transportation system whereby heavy and light rail transit, people movers, Tri-Rail Commuter Service trolleys, express and local bus service and other transit related travel play a more active role in the movement of people. When modernizing or creating new transportation system utilize land use/transportation strategies to reduce congestion and allow for sustainable growth in the Region. The DDRI will be integrated within a multi -modal regional transportation system. • Policy 4.1.22 Provide incentives to businesses enabling expansion or relocation which will strengthen the regional economy. The DDRI provide incentives to businesses enabling expansion or relocation which will strengthen the regional economy. • Policy 4.1.25 Develop and establish manufacturing and service technology centers throughout Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties.

Downtown Development Authority Downtown Miami DRI Update Question 10 — General Project Description (R) Page 10-28 PART 3 DEMOGRAPHIC AND EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION A. Complete the following Demographic and Employment Information tables. Project Demographics The proposed DDRI development program provides for a maximum development of 7,500 residential units. The majority of the housing units will comprise mid to high -density properties (no single-family assumed), of which roughly two-thirds is projected to be for -sale and the remainder rental. The prospective housing development downtown is anticipated to attract a mix of residents. The rental product will likely attract primary professionals employed within the immediate area. For -sale housing should continue to attract a mix of primary professionals, empty nesters, and foreign buyers. Table 10-7, Population and Demographic Information, provides a break down of population and demographic components for the prospective housing development. Project Employment Direct construction jobs created from the development of the Increment II development program will total roughly 8,950 FTE's assuming maximum build -out by 2009. This is based upon development costs of roughly $1.5 billion and assumes: 1) approximately 60 percent of hard costs will be spent in labor; 2) average annual construction wages of $34,336 in Miami -Dade County (State of Florida 1999 ES202); and, 3) a 1.4 times benefit/overhead multiplier per worker. Table 10-8, Estimated Employment by Income Range, provides a distribution of these workers by income. The income categories shown are those used in the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council methodology utilized in their affordable housing analysis. Development of the Increment II development program will create more than 9,654 direct FTE's.. Employment income is in accordance with the distribution illustrated above, when fully developed.
