EXHIBIT A: MIAMI 21 SCOPE OF SERVICES INTRODUCTION The Miami 21 Regulating Plan and Code ("The Code") entails the development of a form -based zoning regulation for the City of Miami, focused on fifteen (15) commercial corridors and their interfaces with adjacent uses. Miami 21 will in large part be based on the theories and principles of the Transect and the SmartCode. The Transect is a planning and urban design concept which proposes appropriate detailing (building form, sidewalk design, roadway dimensions, etc.) according to area classification within a context from rural to urban Transect Zones. or T-Zones. This form -based approach replaces suburban -era zoning ordinances that encourage single -use development and abstract quantitative controls for built form. Miami 21 will translate the City's existing code into the new format, consolidating multiple code categories and simplifying the overall regulatory framework. Area specific recommendations for changes according to new planning intentions will also be made. These will be derived from recent planning efforts and the public process for Miami 21. Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company's six phase work plan for Miami 21 is organized around a carefully organized sequence of analysis and design efforts, consultant team and City staff work sessions and reviews and public engagement activities culminating in the production and delivery of the Code. Working closely with City staff and coordinating the parks, transportation and economic development assignments, DPZ will guide a process that is scheduled ideally but will evolve in response to the potential unique needs of each Quadrant. The planning process is anticipated to occur over twenty-four (24) months, to commence in June 2005 and to be completed by June 2007. OBJECTIVE The adoption of a new foml-based code as the City of Miami's zoning ordinance places the City in a proactive position relative to development growth. It will enable the City to formulate a strategic plan for municipal enhancement that clearly outlines those areas that should be preserved and those areas that should develop and redevelop. The benefits of a regulatory plan with such clarity are twofold: predictability and efficiency. Miami 21's transect-based code will provide predictability for citizens and developers. The conservation and enhancement of residential neighborhoods will protect their most important assets: community structure and quality of life. Developers will have a clear understanding of the areas that are available for growth and will be able to focus their resources on projects that can succeed. The predictability that comes from this knowledge will encourage residential and commercial investment that will benefit both 0425-DPZ-SOS-ExhibitA-07-15-05 Page 1 of 11 MIAMI WASHINGTON CHARLOTTE KUALA LUMPUR 1023 Southwest 25th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33135 Tel: (305) 644-1023 Fax: (305) 644-1021 www.dpz.com DUANY Pl.A1t-:r-Z1'1312 & C0N1PAN1' .�R,< III I F( !> AKI 1 ()wN 1'1 ANNFRS the City and its residents. The result will be steadily increasing private property values and municipal tax revenues. The new regulations will also benefit the City by streamlining administration. Straightforward guidelines that provide a clear instruction for building limit the need for taxpayer resources to negotiate the process of permitting. The reduction in time and cost will serve as an incentive for business to locate in Miami and will free the City Commission to address more pressing issues facing constituents. Miami 21 will promote a predictable and stable environment for investment, and provide a unified and unambiguous policy for simpler, more efficient implementation. It will ensure that the City of Miami will have the tools that it needs to achieve the highest quality of development with a clear and acceptable vision of community that citizens can embrace and promote. STUDY AREA Corridors The 15 Corridors as defined by the City comprise the following: NW 79th Street (7th Avenue to Biscayne Bay); • NW 62'd Street (17th Avenue to Biscayne Bay); • NW 36th Street (37th Avenue to Biscayne Bay) • NW 20th Street (27th Avenue to Biscayne Boulevard); • NW 7th Street (Tamiami Canal to Biscayne Boulevard); • Flagler Street (Tamiami Canal to Downtown); • SW 8th Street (Tamiami Canal to Downtown); • Coral Way (37th Avenue to Brickell Avenue); • Biscayne Boulevard (NE 87th Street to Downtown); • Miami Avenue (NW 36th Street to SW 13th Street); • 71h Avenue (NW 79th Street to NW 7th Street); • 17th Avenue (NW 71st Street to SW 8th Street); • 27th Avenue (NW 36th Street to Dinner Key); • 37th Avenue (NW 7th Street to Grand Avenue); and • 42nd Avenue (Tamiami Trail to SW 8th). Each Corridor includes an area demarcated by a five-minute walk from the centerline of each thoroughfare, approximately a distance of 1300 feet to each side, resulting in a corridor width of some 2600 feet. 0425-DPZ-SOS-ExhibitA -07-15-05 Page 2 of 1i MIAMI WASHINGTON CHARLOTTE KUALA LUMPUR 1023 Southwest 25th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33 135 Tel: (305) 644-1023 Fax: (305) 644-1021 wv. w dpz.com D ANY PLATE - Z Y 13t 12h & CoY1PANv , It c AND l i i At P: Pt Quadrants The 15 Corridors will be addressed individually in each of four (4) Quadrants: East, South, West and North.

Phase 2: Quadrant 1, Phase 3: Quadrant 2, Phase 4: Quadrant 3 and Phase 5: Quadrant 4 Phases 2 to 5 are anticipated to be conducted in sequence, with the completion of each Quadrant scheduled over a six-month timeframe on average, from the initial public workshop to the adoption by the City Commission. The East Quadrant is envisioned to comprise Phase 2. The order of subsequent Quadrants will be determined at a later date,by the City of Miami. There will be some overlap of Phases so that all Phases comprise a total of twenty-four (24) months. A typical Quadrant Phase begins with data collection/logistics, followed by a workshop, which also serves as an Advisory Meeting to include all study area constituents and the City Representatives. The first Public Presentation occurs at the end of the first month following the workshop. Each workshop will include a public input session, as well as a public presentation. The second month comprises production and revision, including a meeting with City Representatives as needed. The second Public Presentation, a third City Representatives Meeting and final production occurs in the third month. The work completed in the phase goes to Planning Advisory Board (PAB) hearing in the fourth month of each phase. Necessary revisions will be made in order to present to the City Commission first hearing, in the fifth month. DPZ will work and coordinate with the City's legal consultant regarding any changes to the Comprehensive Plan. Finally, the work completed in the phase goes to City Commission final hearing for adoption in the sixth month. For a typical Quadrant, DPZ's services will include the following: • Preparation of all base materials to be provided by the City for the Quadrant workshop; • Organization of a week-long Quadrant planning and design workshop that will include: Team tour of the Quadrant; Public Presentation that will include a DPZ lecture and a public information session; and Coordination meetings between the Consultants and City Departments. • Coordination and meetings with the City Representatives as described above; • Preparation of a Draft Code proposal for the Quadrant, to be submitted to City Department Representatives for comments; 0415-DPZ-SOS-ExhibitA-07-15-05 Page 7 of 11 MIAMI WASHINGTON CHARLOTTE KUALA LUMPUR 1023 southwest 25th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33135 Tel: (305) 644-1023 Fax: (305) 644-1021 vi w.dpz.com DANY PI.A`t Eti-Ztit;R.& COMPANY K n ! f l AC *, P I.

COMMUNITY PROCESS AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The community and public involvement process provides opportunities for City residents andother stakeholders to participate in developing the new regulations. The process is intended to build understanding and support while proposals are under development, and to explain and illustrate the final recommendations. In addition to the public meetings described above, it is anticipated that the City's Miami 21 web page will be used to inform as well as seek input from the public in an ongoing exchange. We anticipate working closely with all interested parties including City departments, local organizations, as well as various professional and business interests. We will give regular updates to the City to benchmark study progress and gather ongoing feedback on plan development. The workshops are proposed to be held in easily accessible spaces (provided by the City) where the Planning and Design Team, City Representatives, local public officials and local stakeholders assemble for the series of discussion meetings. DPZ DELIVERABLES Deliverables are inclusive of work product by DPZ, Gannett Fleming, Inc. and Economic Research Associates, Inc. Product The following are the typical documents to be produced for each Quadrant: The Code: A form -based zoning regulation that will include general and specific requirements for building disposition, configuration, function (uses), parking standards, architectural standards, environmental standards, landscape standards and signage standards. The Code shall classify and categorize these requirements into Transect Zones or T-Zones: a. Sub -Urban Zone (T3): the most natural, least dense, most residential habitat of a community, typically consisting of single family houses; b. Neighborhood General Zone (T4): a predominately residential habitat, typically consisting of houses, townhouses and small apartment buildings with some commercial use; c. Neighborhood Center Zone (T5): a denser, mixed -use habitat, typically consisting of townhouses and apartments with substantial first -floor commercial; d. Urban Core Zone (T6): the most dense, primarily commercial and lodging with cultural and entertainment concentration of a region, typically on major crossroads and greyfield sites; and e. Civic Zones (CB & CS): are sites reserved for public building and open space; and 0425-DPZ-SOS-ExhibitA-07-15-05 Page 9 of 1 MIAMI WA.SHINGTON CHARLOTTE KUALA LUM?UR 1023 Southwest 25th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33135 Tel: (305) 644-1023 Fax: (305) 644-102 1 w w dpz.com Dt A,N' PLATER-Zvt3LRK & Contt'AN1' ARC 11)7P1 1 S Ai:U 1 is, PI Ah1�l.K� Districts (D): areas that. by their intrinsic function, disposition, or configuration, cannot conform to one of the six nonnative Transect Zones specified by the Code_ Typical Districts may include institutional campuses, refinery sites, airports, etc. However, if at all possible the perimeters of such Districts should be designed as one or more normal Transect Zones to integrate with surrounding community. Additional elements may include recommendations for historic preservation, parking accommodation. open space, new street connections through new public right-of-way and easements, location of civic uses, affordable housing. and the pennitting process. While Miami 21 will primarily focus on the fifteen Corridors identified by the City,. the Code is anticipated to be applied City-wide. Regulating Maps: These maps depict the precise boundaries of zoning categories and include the following: a. Zoning Regulating Map (Transect Map): A colored map delineating the general transect zones (as described above) related to the requirements as defined by the Code; b. Atlas Regulating Map: (Sub-Transect Map): A black and white map delineating the specific transect sub -zones as identified during the workshop and defined by the Code; and c. Special Area Maps: Black and white maps detailing Special Areas (as defined below), including elements such as mandatory build -to -lines, mandatory retail frontages, recommended retail frontages, types of frontages allowed. terminated vista locations and new corridors. Special Areas as identified by the City include the following: the Central Business District, the Civic Center, the Latin Quarter. the Waterfront District (adjacent to the Miami River), West Brickell (from the Miami River to 15th Road, and from Miami Avenue to I-95) and the Industrial Area (near Coral Gables bounded by Bird Road and 37th Avenue approx.). Illustrations and Diagrams: These will be developed as needed for the public process. Format The City is required to provide DPZ with City-wide base information upon request. Should the City produce updated base information following the provision of the above City-wide base information, DPZ will only accept such updated data up to one month prior to the start of each specific quadrant phase provided the base information is not in conflict with previously completed quadrant work. Base Information from the City shall be provided to DPZ in electronic format (AutoCAD files), as well as two hard copies printed at scale on a large-scale format (i.e.: 36" x 48"). In order to create an end product in GIS, Regulating Maps produced by DPZ will be created in AutoCAD format separated by layers or files each to contain closed polygons representing similar and consistent information (i.e. major transect boundaries, sub transect boundaries, etc.) with no overlapping polygons on the same layer or file. This is based on the assumption that all base materials provided to DPZ from the city will likewise contain closed polygons representing consistent information. This information will form the basis for the work. It is essential that this information be thorough and accurate. The maps and other related documents developed and produced are only as accurate as the base information materials 0425-DPZ-SOS-Exhibit,9-07-15-05 Page 1 G of 11 MIAMI WASHINGTON CHARLOTTE KUALA- LUMPUR 1023 Southwest 25th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33135 Tel: (305) 644-1023 Fax: (305) 644-1021 www.dpz.com DuAN'v PI.A T F - Z Y 13 E I1K & Co 1l'N AR Ii 1'I f.
