Introduction
This Document
This is a 2009 update to the 2004
Amendment of the 1982 Southeast
Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Plan (referred to as
"Redevelopment
Redevelopment
commissioned
Overtown/Park
Plan" or "Community
Plan"), and was
by the Southeast
West Community
Redevelopment Agency ("CRA" or "SEOPW
CRA"), and the CRA's governing bodies, the
City of Miami ("City") and Miami -Dade
County ("County") to provide an updated
planning document for the redevelopment of
the Park West and Overtown neighborhoods
in accordance with the Community
Redevelopment Act of 1969 ("Act").
The 1982 Redevelopment Plan has not
been effective in the redevelopment area, due
to the lack of financing ability by the CRA and
private enterprises. The need to update the
1982 Plan and provide a financing strategy for
the implementation of the CRA's activities in
the redevelopment area became imminent as
land throughout South Florida became scarce
and the last portions of undeveloped land lie
within the redevelopment area boundaries. It
is the intent of this extensive amendment of
the 1982 Redevelopment Plan to address ways
in which the CRA can maximize opportunities
2
presented by current initiatives and trends, and
transform Southeast Overtown/Park West
into a thriving mixed -use neighborhood and
commercial hub in the heart of downtown, as
provided for by this revised Community
Redevelopment Plan. This update reflects the
expansion of the Redevelopment Area's
boundaries to include the southwest section
and part of the northeast section of the
Overtown area.
Topics Frequently Asked
About From Neighborhood
Stakeholders
Every redevelopment area has certain
urgent concerns and problems that the
community wants addressed. While a number
of these issues can be resolved through local
government, some of these issues need to be
remedied by members of the community.
Adopting redevelopment plans and
creating community redevelopment agencies
are not solutions in themselves, but only
vehicles to get to solutions. There needs to be
grass -root efforts to further stimulate interest
in, education of, and visions for the
revitalization of the redevelopment
neighborhoods. Overtown and Park West
stakeholders frequently ask questions about:
• Affordable housing for existing
residents.
• Support for small businesses and the
creation of new jobs for current residents in
Overtown and Park West.
Historical Context
The Southeast Overtown/Park West
Redevelopment Area encompasses one of the
oldest residential and commercial areas of the
City of Miami, although few structures of
historic or cultural significance remain.
Overtown and Park West each have their own
historic past, but for practical reasons and
proximity, their futures are linked together.
OVERTOWN
"Overtown" is one of the oldest
neighborhoods in Miami settled by African
Americans about the time that Miami was
founded in the 1890s. African Americans
were not allowed to live in the other
developing areas of Miami Jobs available to
Overtown residents were mostly associated
with Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast (FEC)
Railroad Company, the burgeoning tourist
service industry, and agriculture. Like in many
southern American towns, the African
American community lived on the other side
of the railroad tracks from most white
families, closer to the citrus and pineapple
farms. The name "Overtown" came from
people saying that they were going "over
town" to this neighborhood. It was also
referred to in the past as "Colored Town."
The area grew and developed into a
vibrant community. African Americans
became business owners and established a
viable economic community by constructing
schools, homes, churches, hotels, apartments,
theaters, night clubs and small neighborhood
markets.
In the 1920's and 1930's, N.W. 2nd
Avenue was known as "Avenue G," and was a
major corridor for entertainment, retail stores,
and hotels. Dr. W.B. Sawyer built the first
African American hotel in the area in 1921.
The population continued to grow until
the early 1960's. Desegregation, urban renewal,
the Neighborhood Development Program,
and construction of the SR-836/I-395 and I-
95 expressways significantly changed the
character of the neighborhood. and tragically,
residents from Overtown were scattered and
relocated. Economic, physical and social
decay became pronounced and has
progressively contributed to the decline in the
area.
Various planning efforts have taken place
over the last few decades. For a list of these
planning studies, see Appendix A, entitled
3
"Previous Plan Studies."
PARK WEST
Most of the area currently referred to as
Park West was part of the original "Miami"
Subdivision platted in 1896 by the principal
developers of the early City of Miami, Mary
and William Brickell, Julia Tuttle, Henry
Flagler, and the Fort Dallas Land Company.
While the initial development of Park
West focused on residential projects, it soon
established a commercial character, in the
form of warehouses, associated with its
downtown location and proximity to the Port
of Miami, when formerly located at the site of
present day Bicentennial Park. The name
"Park West" derives from this area being
located "west" of the "park." Before 1964,
this area was basically a warehouse and
wholesale district related to the old port.
When the port moved, so did the wholesale
businesses and storage facilities. Few of the
remaining businesses have any functional
relation to the port now located on Dodge
Island in Biscayne Bay. New warehouses and
container storage areas are provided on Dodge
Island and areas west of the Miami
International Airport.
21 st Century Context
The 1982 Southeast Overtown/Park West
Redevelopment Area encompassed
approximately 279 acres of land generally
bounded by Biscayne Boulevard on the east;
I-95 on the west; I-395 on the north; and NW
5th Street on the south. In 1986, the
boundaries were expanded to include the areas
bounded by NW 1st Street on the south,
Metrorail right-of-way on the west, NW 5th
Street on the north, and North Miami Avenue
on the east. This Plan expands the SEOPW
CRA boundary to include area bounded by
NW 22nd Street on the north, NW 1" Place on
the east, NW 5th Street on the south, and NW
7th Avenue on the west (referred to as
"expanded area"). The expanded areas have a
direct effect on the existing Redevelopment
Area and present excellent redevelopment
opportunities. It is an area of hard edges,
heavily traveled highways to the west and
north, and the less imposing but still
disruptive boundary created by the
Metromover and Metrorail tracks to the east
and south. Moreover, the Florida East Coast
railroad tracks serve as a psychological and
physical barrier dividing the area into
Southeast Overtown to the west and Park
West to the east.
In preparation of this planning effort, an
evaluation of the existing slum and blight
conditions was conducted in the expanded
CRA areas. This evaluation revealed that slum
and blight conditions persist throughout,
providing further justification for expanding
the SEOPW CRA boundaries. Addressing
and improving these conditions is a key
purpose of this plan. A summary of the
evaluation of slum and blight conditions are
set forth in Appendix G, entitled "Findings of
Slum and Blight."
Despite its challenges, Southeast
Overtown/Park West is advantageously
situated between downtown Miami and the
Omni area, Motion Picture/Media ("Media")
District, and the Entertainment District, and is
in close proximity to Miami Beach, Miami
International Airport, and the regional
transportation system. What happens in the
larger context will therefore shape and be
shaped by what happens in Southeast
Overtown/Park West.
Located directly north of Overtown and
Park West, the Omni Media and
Entertainment Districts are currently
undergoing a rapid transformation into a
regional epicenter of the cultural and
performing arts. Big Time Productions, Inc., a
studio/production company, moved its
headquarters from Miami Beach to the Omni
area creating a movie production hub along
4
NE 14t' Street. Just east of Big Time
Productions studio buildings is the new
[Adrienne Arsht] Center for the Performing
Arts of Miami -Dade County. The center
includes a 2,200-seat symphony hall, a 2,480-
seat ballet/opera house, a 200-seat black box
theater, and ancillary support and educational
services. The completion of this exciting
complex has served as a strong catalyst for
redevelopment, a phenomenon that has been
further enhanced by a concerted effort to
attract media, arts, and entertainment related
businesses and facilities to the neighborhood.
South of Overtown and Park West,
downtown Miami's central business district is
a flourishing center of international business,
finance, telecommunications, government and
trade. With over 131,000 workers, 4,000+
hotel rooms, and attractions, such as the
Bayside Marketplace, the American Airlines
Arena, and the Miami -Dade Cultural Center,
downtown Miami is a dynamic destination that
has the potential to positively impact adjacent
neighborhoods such as Southeast
Overtown/Park West. Despite its dynamism,
downtown Miami once lacked the residential
component that was necessary to transform it
into a true 24-hour city center. With the latest
development boom of 2003-2007, several new
residential and mixed -use development
projects have been planned and/or
constructed along [Biscayne Boulevard]. Most
of these developments are viewed as market
rate and luxury rate properties with limited
accommodation for the middle class or
working class citizens desiring an urban
residence. With its advantageous location and
untapped redevelopment potential, Southeast
Overtown/Park West presents perhaps the
best opportunity to develop a livable
downtown core.
The City of Miami is proactively planning
for the future of its neighborhoods, and there
are a number of current initiatives that will
have a direct impact on the Southeast
Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Area,
including the expanded area. Planning efforts,
such as the "Baylink Draft Environmental
Impact Statement" (DEIS), "The Park West
Entertainment District Promenade Special
Area Plan," "Biscayne Boulevard Special Area
Plan," `Bicentennial Park Master Plan,"
"Downtown Transportation Master Plan," and
"Overtown Greenprint Plan" are integral to
the redevelopment of the area, and
coordination between these efforts is key.
Some of the more specific planning projects
include: the Flagler Marketplace development
in downtown Miami; redevelopment of the
Omni Mall into a retail, entertainment and
office complex; the newly redeveloped
Margaret Pace Park in the Omni area;
redevelopment of the historic Lyric Theater as
the cornerstone of the planned Folklife Village
in Southeast Overtown; and the planned
extension of the 9th Street Pedestrian Mall in
Park West. This Plan presents the best
opportunity to integrate these initiatives into a
cohesive vision for the area as a whole.
The Potential: A Livable City
Well -located at the confluence of the
Americas, Miami has emerged as the Western
Hemisphere's international trading center and
one of the world's most vibrant and dynamic
metropolises. Founded in 1896, Miami quickly
established itself as one of the nation's premier
tourist destinations with its world-renowned
climate and natural beauty. Tourism defined
the economy for much of the last century and
remains a major industry. Nonetheless, the last
thirty years have seen an unprecedented
diversification of Miami's economy, as its
strategic location, excellent transportation
linkages, and culturally diverse population
have led to its ascent as the "gateway to Latin
America" and one of the nation's true
international business centers. Greater Miami
today is a cosmopolitan metropolis of over
two million people, and a leading center of
finance, trade, tourism and
telecommunications.
5
Despite these advantages, Miami has
lacked one of the most important
characteristics of great world cities — a
walkable, mixed -use center that is a desirable
place to work, play and live. Bathed in
decorative neon light, the downtown Miami
skyline beckons at night, which belies the fact
that its streets are virtually deserted. Few of
the approximately 131,000 people who work
in downtown actually live there. At the close
of each business day, they disperse to points
north, east, south and west of Miami While
in the recent past, it is true that many would
choose a suburban location regardless, it is
also true that downtown Miami has a shortage
of affordable housing and neighborhood
services that would make it a viable alternative
for those who would otherwise find it a
desirable place to both live and work.
In the past few decades, Miami has made
a concerted effort to take advantage of the
new economic realities of globalization and
the rise of information technology. Its location
provides a competitive advantage, as does a
relatively well -developed privately initiated and
funded technology infrastructure. While that
may not have been enough, recent studies
indicate that the businesses and workers of the
new economy seek out and thrive in mixed -
use environments that foster accessibility,
social interaction, and the exchange of ideas.
This has resulted in a reversal of trends of the
1970's and 1980's, which saw economic
activity centers move from city centers to
suburban office parks and "edge cities" that
sprang up overnight. In contrast, the
economic activity centers of the new economy
are increasingly located in central city
neighborhoods like San Francisco's
Multimedia Gulch, the Digital Harbor in
Baltimore, and downtown San Jose.
With its strategic location and untapped
redevelopment potential, the Southeast
Overtown/Park West neighborhood presents
the best opportunity for the development of a
thriving, mixed -use economic and activity
center in Miami's downtown. This plan charts
a course to fully realizing Southeast
Overtown/Park West's possibilities.
History of the CRA
On July 29, 1982, the Miami City
Commission, by Resolution No. 82-755,
approved the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Plan. On
December 7, 1982, the Board of County
Commissioners of Miami -Dade County, by
Resolution No. R-1677-82, approved the
Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Plan. On March 31, 1983, the
City and the County executed an Interlocal
Agreement which provided for the delegation
of redevelopment powers to the City and the
establishment of the redevelopment trust fund
to receive tax increment revenues. In 1985 the
Park West area was included in the CRA's
then -existing boundaries. During the summer
of 2002, the SEOPW CRA Board proposed to
expand the boundaries to include some of the
areas of Overtown west of Interstate 95 and
areas surrounding NW 3rd Avenue north of
Interstate 395. This boundary expansion was
later adopted by the Miami City Commission
on July 28, 2002, pursuant to Ordinance No.
12247. Notwithstanding, no action was taken
by the Board of County Commissioners of
Miami -Dade County on this boundary
expansion.
On December 31, 2007, the City, the
County, the SEOPW CRA, and the Omni
Redevelopment District Community
Redevelopment Agency entered into an
Interlocal Agreement to provide for, among
other things, the expansion of the Southeast
Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Area
and the extension of its life. Pursuant to the
Interlocal Agreement, the parties agreed that
the CRA would cause a Finding of Necessity
report to be prepared in which the conditions
of slum and blight within the expanded area
would be documented, and to cause an update
to the 2004 Amendment to the
6
Redevelopment Plan to be prepared.
Revised Boundaries
Section 163.361, Florida Statutes, provides
that the CRA may recommend a change in the
boundaries when it becomes necessary or
desirable to amend or modify the
redevelopment plan. Since 2001, the SEOPW
CRA Board has been evaluating the need to
extend the existing boundaries to include more
of Overtown. Advantages to the enlarged
boundary include being able to use the
SEOPW CRA's resources to facilitate
redevelopment in more disadvantaged
neighborhoods of Miami, and to improve the
appearance and usefulness of the expressways
that have caused so much damage and
fragmentation to the community environment.
Revisions from the Original
CRA Redevelopment Plan
The Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Plan, Revised December
1982 (sometimes referred to as "the '82 Plan")
was prepared for two primary reasons:
1) To establish the need for a CRA; and
2) To guide the SEOPW CRA's
redevelopment activities.
This document is the extensive 2009
amendment to the Southeast Overtown/Park
West Community Redevelopment Plan. This
document replaces the previous "82 Plan" and
is hereafter referred to as the "Community
Redevelopment Plan" or "Redevelopment
Plan."
Revisions from the 1982 Plan:
• Chapter I, "Introduction," has been
significantly revised to identify the purpose for
the SEOPW CRA, its potential, and to update
the context with the 20 years that have passed
since the original plan was prepared and
adopted.
• Parts of Chapter II, "Setting," were
brought into Section 1, Introduction, of the
Community Redevelopment Plan. For
example, "Historic Evolution" was re-edited
into a heading called "Historical Context."
• Chapter III, "Redevelopment
Proposal," contained a description of the need
for redevelopment. The objectives stated in
Chapter III have been re-evaluated and can be
found in Section 2, "Goals and Guiding
Principles."
• Chapter IV, "Redevelopment Plan,"
contained projects and strategies. These have
been re-evaluated and some have been
restated in Sections 2 through 6. These
components are separated into different
Sections in the updated Community
Redevelopment Plan to group them by similar
topics so that they can be more easily found in
the document.
• All maps and graphics from the 1982
Plan have been replaced, including the
Boundary Map.
• The Land Use Plan, Zoning Plan, and
Traffic & Transportation Plan have been
completely overhauled.
• The Park West Conceptual
Redevelopment Plan and Acquisition strategy
has been abandoned for an incremental
approach.
Findings of Necessity
Section 163.355, state that "[n]o county or
municipality shall exercise the community
redevelopment authority . . ., until after the
governing body has adopted a resolution,
supported by data and analysis, which makes a
legislative finding that the conditions in the
area meet the statutory definition of "slum"
and "blight."
In 1969, the Board of County
Commissioners of Miami -Dade County, by
Resolution No. R-1117-69 approved the
Central Miami Renewal Plan ("CMRP"). The
CMRP examined the area south of NW 20t1'
Street; west of the FEC Railroad, with an
extension to N.E. 2nd Avenue; east of I-95;
and north of the Miami River. It was amended
7
on January 20, 1981, to include the areas
bounded on the west and south by the FEC
tracks; on the east by Biscayne Boulevard; and
on the north by I-395, as well as the area
bounded on the south by I-395; on the east by
Biscayne Boulevard; on the north by NW 17th
Street in part, and the City of Miami Cemetery
in part; and on the west by the FEC tracks.
While the aforementioned areas were
found to meet the definition of "slum" and
"blight," only a portion of this area was
included in the original SEOPW CRA
Redevelopment Area. Most of the conditions
described in the 1982 Plan are still prevalent
today in the existing Redevelopment Area, in
that, there is still a decline in population,
marginal retail facilities, and an excessive
amount of vacant and underdevelopment
properties. The majority of multi -family
buildings, single family houses, and duplexes
suffer from structural deterioration. The
majority of retail buildings are vacant, making
the vacancy rate of commercial uses greater
than fifty percent.
In February 2009, in accordance with
Section 163.355, and as required by the
Interlocal Agreement dated December 31,
2007, the SEOPW CRA caused a Finding of
Necessity report ("2009 FON") to be
prepared in which the expanded area was
examined to determine whether conditions of
slum and blight were present. The 2009 FON
provided evidence of the following:
• Predominance of defective or
inadequate street layout, parking facilities,
roadways, and public transportation;
• Faulty lot layout in relation to size,
adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness:
• Unsanitary or unsafe conditions due
to environmental contamination;
• Site and structural deterioration;
• Aggregate assessed values of real
property in the expanded are for ad valorem
tax purposes failing to show any appreciable
increase over the five (5) year prior to the
finding of such conditions;
• Existence of crime; and
• Physical and economic conditions
conducive to disease, infant mortality, poverty.
and crime because of the predominance of
dilapidated, deteriorating, antiquated and
obsolescent buildings and the existence of
conditions that endanger life and property by
fire and other causes. The 2009 FON
concluded that the existence of slum and
blight conditions within the expanded area, if
left unattended, would persist and
undoubtedly extend to and beyond the
boundaries of the existing Redevelopment
Area. These conditions will lead to an
economic and social liability to the City of
Miami and could consume additional County
and municipal resources to address the myriad
of issues outlined above, while reducing the
local tax base.

Goals and Guiding Principles
Redevelopment Goals
The redevelopment goals set forth in this
2009 updated Redevelopment Plan serve as
parameters for the SEOPW CRA Board and
staff members when making decisions, taking
actions, and strategizing projects and
programs for the Redevelopment Area. They
guide the Agency's public policy,
appropriation of funds, and priorities in
eliminating the conditions of slum and blight
within the Redevelopment Area.
The goals are:
1) Preserving historic buildings and
community heritage;
2) Expanding the tax base through the
use of Smart Growth planning
principles;
3) Creating infill housing, diversity in
housing types, and retaining
affordable housing;
4) Creating jobs within the community;
5) Promotion and marketing of the
community; and
6) Improving the quality of life for
residents of the Redevelopment Area.
This Redevelopment Plan identifies
fourteen (14) guiding principles aimed to
11
facilitate the achievement of the
aforementioned Redevelopment Goals. The
numbering of goals and principles in this plan
is not intended to imply a prioritization of
importance. All goals and principles are of
equal importance to the revitalization of the
Redevelopment Area. The matrix on the
following page shows that all of the Guiding
Principles work toward more than one goal.
Following the Matrix, each of the Guiding
Principles is further explained.

Guiding Principles
All actions affecting the Redevelopment
Area by a government entity, agency, service
provider, or private property owner are to be
judged according to the Guiding Principles
and the Hypothetical Build -out Plan described
in Section 3. If any new projects or efforts are
being proposed that are not identified in
Section 4, then their relevance should be
judged by the Goals and these Principles.
Principle 1: The community as a
whole has to be livable. Land uses
and transportation systems must be
coordinated with each other.
The most important combination to make
a community livable is to have land uses and
transportation systems working together in
concert. Ideally, a successful neighborhood
will offer the opportunity to reside, work, and
carry out the other activities of daily life (i.e.,
shopping, recreation, entertainment, religious
and cultural events, education, etc) all within
an area of comfortable walking distance. To
achieve this, a thoughtful mix of residential,
employment, commercial and community -
serving uses should be promoted by the City
and CRA in a densely developed and well -
designed urban fabric. Neighborhood -serving
commercial uses, such as pharmacies, grocery
13
stores, bank branches, dry cleaners,
restaurants, day care facilities, and
entertainment establishments (i.e. bowling
alleys, cinemas, video stores, etc) should be
incorporated into the neighborhood fabric to
serve the population and reduce automobile
dependency. Also, civic buildings and
community -serving uses such as schools,
libraries, police stations, fire stations, and
parks should be provided and located in such
a manner as to create community focal points
and strengthen neighborhood identity. Great
cities are built up from groups of such
neighborhoods.
Transportation modes have to be
balanced and varied too, so that one can
choose to walk, drive, take a taxi, or ride a
bike, a bus, or community transit in the form
of Metrorail or Metromover.
Overtown and Park West can be thought
of as a group of neighborhoods. In order to
reposition Southeast Overtown/Park West as
a livable area, a mixture of housing types,
service establishments, and employment
centers must be provided within each of these
neighborhoods.
Though no two neighborhoods are
exactly alike, neighborhoods are traditionally
about one -quarter mile from center to edge,
for several reasons. This is thought by
scholars to be a dimension within which
residents can come to know many of their
neighbors well, and form a detailed "mental
map" of their daily territory. This helps
explain why the ten-minute walk diameter can
be observed in historical settlements from
many time periods, and in cultures all around
the world.
Perhaps more importantly today, most
people are willing to walk distances
approximately ten minutes away before
choosing another mode of transportation,
provided they are presented with a pedestrian -
friendly, safe environment. To reduce
unnecessary car trips and dependence on the
automobile, the most livable neighborhoods in
modern cities include an array of residential,
business, retail, and neighborhood -serving
uses within that ten-minute area. While today's
technology offers multiple means of
transportation, "walkability" remains a key
component of the vibrant and healthy
neighborhood and an important determinant
of neighborhood boundaries.
Superimposing a ten-minute walking
diameter on Southeast Overtown/Park West,
and a review of historic development patterns,
reveals that the area is actually comprised of
five distinct neighborhoods: Park West,
Southeast Overtown, North Overtown, West
Overtown, and The Government District.
Determining how to improve infrastructure,
services and the provision of uses in each of
these smaller neighborhoods is the most
effective strategy for improving the area as a
whole. The vision of this Redevelopment
Plan is, therefore, to improve the
Redevelopment Area by transforming it into a
group of healthy mixed -use neighborhoods,
and connecting those neighborhoods with a
variety of transportation options.
Principle 2: The neighborhood has
to retain access to affordable housing
even as the neighborhood becomes
more desirable to households with
greater means.
Based on comments and discussions
made at various community meetings in
Overtown and Park West, it is quite clear that
there is general consensus among existing
residents, former residents, CRA and City
staff, and elected officials that Overtown has
to retain affordable housing, and first priority
to affordable housing and job opportunities
must be given to existing and former residents
of Overtown.
The SEOPW CRA's Housing Policy is
stated in this Redevelopment Plan and can be
found in Section 6.
14
Principle 3: There must be variety in
housing options.
The housing stock in Downtown Miami
and the neighborhoods of Southeast
Overtown/Park West is extremely limited.
The existing inventory consists mostly of
lower -priced and substandard houses and
apartments. This lack of residential
alternatives inhibits efforts to foster a 24-hour
downtown and limits options for those who
would otherwise choose to reside in a center
city location.
A mix of market rate and affordable
housing units and types, including rental units,
ownership units, multi -family units, workforce
and supportive housing, single-family units,
and accessory apartments, is necessary to
accommodate the diversity and lifestyles of
existing and future residents.
The Overtown and Park West of the
future will take advantage of their urban
character and infrastructure and provide an
attractive array of residential choices for
current and new residents. The
neighborhoods have to ensure the integration
of different economic sectors to stimulate a
positive shaping of the urban space.
Principle 4: There must be variety in
employment opportunities.
Employment centers should be located
within the neighborhoods to accommodate
those who wish to live in proximity to their
work and reduce dependence on the
automobile and long commutes. As with
access to affordable housing, there appears to
be general consensus in the community that
employment opportunities be made available
to existing residents of Overtown has a high
priority.
Principle 5: Walking within the
neighborhood must be accessible,
safe, and pleasant.
Streets have many responsibilities. They
act as a system for movement, providing
mobility and ways to move around the City.
Even more importantly, their right-of-way
serves as the "front door" to private
properties. The character and design of the
street, and thus the resulting "curb appeal,"
have a direct correlation to the type and
quality of development projects, real estate
values, and economic potential.
Providing a range of choices for moving
safely and comfortably throughout the
neighborhood is an integral function of the
city street network. Neighborhood streets
should therefore be designed to accommodate
a number of transportation choices, including
walking, bicycles, mopeds, automobiles, and
mass transit. The provision of a continuous,
two-way street grid in Southeast
Overtown/Park West will increase
accessibility and reduce congestion, while the
provision of wide shaded sidewalks, walkable
block sizes, on -street parking, bicycle paths,
and transit services increases the range of
choices for moving to, from, and within the
Redevelopment Area. Creating pedestrian -
friendly streets encourages the development of
street -level businesses and natural surveillance.
Principle 6: Local cultural events,
institutions, and businesses are to be
promoted.
In order for Southeast Overtown/Park
West to achieve its full potential, it is necessary
to address and improve the neighborhood
economy and expand the economic
opportunities of present and future residents
and businesses. This entails both the support
and enhancement of existing businesses and
local entrepreneurs and the attraction of new
businesses that provide needed services and
economic opportunities. New economy
business centers are characterized by
concentrations of competing but
complementary firms that are driven by the
advantages of co -location. Redevelopment
efforts should actively identify opportunities
for Southeast Overtown/Park West to
capitalize on this trend.
15
Principle 7: The City and County
must provide access to small parks
and green spaces of an urban
character.
Access to public parks and green spaces is
a key element of quality of life in urban
neighborhoods, as natural environments
provide essential respite in an urban
environment. Therefore, it is vital that a series
of green spaces and parks, preferably linked by
greenways, be developed within each
neighborhood and that existing green spaces
and parks be enhanced to provide a genuine
amenity to the quality of life for existing and
future residents. These green spaces, parks,
and greenways will be an important element in
developing and maintaining community
aesthetics and identity, providing recreational
and social opportunities for residents and
visitors, and attracting new residents and
businesses.
Principle 8: Older buildings that
embody the area's cultural past
should be restored.
These older buildings are physical
reminders of the community's heritage and
enhance the experience of the place, giving it a
richness that cannot easily be obtained once
the buildings are lost. Unfortunately far too
many of the historic buildings identified in the
1982 Plan have been demolished despite the
efforts of The Black Archives History and
Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc.
and other local initiatives.
Principle 9: New and rehabilitated
buildings must respond to our
climate and reflect the community's
cultural heritage.
Established neighborhoods are
distinguished by architecture that is indicative
of their history, climate, and function.
Successful redevelopment efforts capitalize on
these elements rather than imposing
development that is disconnected from what
has come before. South Beach provides an
excellent example of this concept in action; its
redevelopment was predicated on its rich
architectural heritage and history, and as a
result, has been wildly successful. The five (5)
neighborhoods that comprise Southeast
Redevelopment Area boast unique features
and architecture that reflect their history and
function. For example, Park West's
architecture still reflects its former function as
a warehouse district for the Port of Miami,
while the story of Overtown's heyday as a
thriving center for black -owned businesses
and culture is told in its remaining buildings of
note. The redevelopment of these
neighborhoods should occur within the
context of these histories and new
development should acknowledge the past
traditions and further their future. Whenever
possible, buildings of architectural merit
should be adapted to new needs and creatively
reused.
Principle 10: Streets and buildings
must be attractive.
Neighborhoods are defined by their public
realm, the spaces between buildings. The
streets, sidewalks, parks, greenways, and civic
uses bring the community together and link it
to the outside world. A vibrant and engaging
public realm serves as the neighborhood's
canvas and lifeblood, a means for inspiring
and captivating residents and visitors.
Sound urban design, attractive buildings,
and streetscapes are essential to having streets
that are both functional and visually attractive.
Looks are important to current residents who
will feel community pride when receiving
pleasant comments about where they live.
Looks are important to attracting investors to
make other improvements to the
neighborhood.
To have attractive, pedestrian -friendly
urban streets, buildings must be set close
together, and building heights and road widths
must be compatible. Building walls with their
16
windows and doors, that open to the street,
should come together to form a continuous
facade.
Maintenance of public streets and spaces
has to occur in a consistent manner to show
that the community is cared for. Private
property owners have to do their part too,
painting buildings when they start to peel or
fade badly, and clean up yards or vacant
properties if garbage collects there. If the
owners are not inspired to make
improvements or repairs when the need
becomes visually obvious, then it is Code
Enforcement's job to deliver a citation to
them.
Principle 11: 24-hour environments
should be encouraged.
A common feature of prosperous
metropolitan cores is a "24-hour
environment": a broad and diverse offering of
cultural, entertainment, and recreational
options that attract and engage residents and
visitors on weekends and after the workday
ends. This environment encourages social
interaction and is a catalyst for economic
vitality and attracting businesses and residents.
Southeast Overtown and Park West provide
an excellent opportunity to create the 24-hour
environment that downtown Miami lacks.
Principle 12: Identifiable
neighborhood centers are to be
established in a distributed pattern
within Overtown and Park West.
Cohesive neighborhoods have strong
centers, identifiable from their concentration
of higher density residential, commercial, and
civic uses, and/or a signature public open
space such as a park, square or plaza. The
neighborhood center helps ensure the
provision of various uses within a walkable
area and is essential to the establishment of
neighborhood identity. Neighborhood centers
should be developed in each of the five
neighborhoods that
Redevelopment Area.
comprise the
Principle 13: The zoning and other
development regulations must be
reworked to yield the results
envisioned in this Community
Redevelopment Plan.
Both the SEOPW CRA and the City of
Miami Planning and Zoning Department agree
that the zoning requirements within the CRA
boundaries must be improved to further
redevelopment of the desired type.
Principle 14: Restore a sense of
community and unify the area
culturally.
The SEOPW CRA needs to do what ever
is in its power to bring back the vitality that
once gave Overtown its character, sense of
place, and cultural distinctiveness.

Hypothetical Build -out Plan
Conceptual Plan Diagram
The Conceptual Plan Diagram to the right
shows the basic framework used to shape the
Hypothetical Build -out Plan, which is very
detailed and has many layers. A number of
public and private groups have studied the
same areas either prior to or in parallel with
this Redevelopment Plan. Many concepts set
forth in these plans have been incorporated or
consolidated into the diagrams, and have
contributed to shape this Community
Redevelopment Plan. These plans include the
following:
• The Overtown Greenway Plan
• The Overtown Greenprint Plan
• Miami Downtown Transportation Master
Plan
• Miami- The Downtown Master Plan
• Miami at Midnight Report
• The Historic Overtown Folklife Village
Plan
• Overtown Civic Partnership "Ray
Gindroz" Plan
• Bicentennial Park Plan
• Biscayne Blvd Special Area Plan
• Grand Promenade Special Area Plan
• FEC Corridor Study
• Performing Arts Center Site Plan
A summary of the many ideas raised by
various planning efforts over the last few
decades is provided in Appendix A, entitled

Land Uses & Residential Units
As described throughout this
Redevelopment Plan, the intent is to mix land
uses within the Redevelopment Area as much
as possible. The exceptions will be where
there are large areas of government offices and
facilities or where there are concentrations of
single-family detached houses. A wide range
of residential types is sought with this
Redevelopment Plan. Measures must be put
in place to retain affordability while
encouraging market rate housing in the area.
Hypothetical Build -out Plan
The Hypothetical Build -out Plan portrays
one possible built -out future for the
Redevelopment Area in a very advanced state
of redevelopment and infill development. It is
useful to show possible configurations for
public and private building placement, streets
and access ways, parking areas, and public
spaces and street patterns.
Think of the Hypothetical Build -out Plan
as a series of layered ideas that have all been
"flattened" into one drawing. These layers
include:
• Publicly -Owned Land, available for public
improvements
• Open Spaces: parks, plazas, and green
spaces, and greenways
• Transportation System
• Parking Policy
• Land Development Regulations
• Physical Plan, showing physical conditions
of public and private buildings, parking
locations, sidewalks, and yards
Each of these layers is described in further
detail in the pages that follow in this section.
21
Publicly -Owned Land
Each of the properties shown on the map
to the left, either owned by the CRA, City of
Miami, County or State agencies, are
considered suitable for public improvements
or public -private redevelopment initiatives.
This map shows a "snapshot" of the
current ownership and should not be viewed
as an end result in itself. (To obtain a copy of
the most updated property ownership map,
contact the City of Miami's Planning
Department). Additional properties may need
to be purchased and some currently owned
may need to be sold to reach the goals of this
Redevelopment Plan.
Properties that would be ideal for the
CRA to purchase are purposefully not
identified in the plan, to avoid costly problems
in time and money associated with land
speculation. These problems have already
hindered the CRA's performance over the past
twenty years.
Required CRA Actions:
1) Continue to evaluate and negotiate future
land purchases to meet the goals of the
Redevelopment Plan.
2) Evaluate and advertise public -private
development opportunities, utilizing the
land owned by the CRA in furtherance of
the goals set forth herein.
22
3) Coordinate with other private and public
entities for the development of surplus
real property within the Redevelopment
Area that will further the goals set forth
herein.

Open Spaces: parks, plazas, and
green spaces, and greenways.
Urban dwellers do not have the luxury of
large amounts of private open space in their
rear gardens and back yards. Instead, urban
living highlights the enjoyment of pedestrian -
friendly streets and public spaces (parks,
squares, greens, greenways, and plazas).
Creating and maintaining high -quality public
spaces is necessary for the Redevelopment
Area to achieve its potential. Of the five
neighborhoods that have been identified, only
Overtown, west of the Interstate, has adequate
open space. The acquisition of land to create
these public spaces and the necessary
construction and maintenance is possible
through a variety of means.
Required CRA Actions:
1) Acquire more land for publicly accessible
green space for active and passive
recreational use.
2) Coordinate with the City of Miami's
Planning & Zoning Departments to
improve public safety with natural
surveillance; requiring that neighboring
buildings front all public spaces with
doors and windows.
3) Coordinate with the City of Miami's Parks
Department on the installation and
maintenance of public spaces.
23
4) Require development projects within the
Redevelopment Area to maintain green
spaces within project scope.

Ways to acquire more land:
1. Land Swaps
The City and CRA can directly exchange
properties with property owners. For
example, if property that is in a good location
for a park is privately owned, and the CRA
owns land that is a suitable development site,
then the CRA could swap land with the
private property owner. The community gets
a park where it makes sense and the original
owner gets a good development opportunity.
2. Revolving fund for public lands
The County, City, and CRA can create a
revolving fund for public lands. For example,
suppose the CRA needed to consolidate
several properties to make an adequately large
green space. It already owns or recently
purchased a few of the parcels, but one or two
remaining owners hold out and refuse to sell.
To avoid the need to use eminent domain, the
CRA could give up and decide to sell the land
recently purchased. The revenue from the sale
could be put into a fund, and used later in
another location for the purpose of acquiring
land for green space. This may require
specific transaction controls.
3. Purchase the land outright.
The CRA Board can, as it has in the past,
purchase the land outright for a fair market
value. Assistance can be sought from the
County, City, State, and the Trust for Public
24
Land to expedite the purchase of land.
Matching grants can be pursued.
4. Land Pooling
Land pooling is the consolidation of small
landholdings for their unified planning,
servicing, subdivision and redistribution. This
method for land assemblage provides many
opportunities including the shared cost and
returns of land subdivision between the
landowners in an equitable way at no cost to
the CRA and the orderly design of the
subdivision layout for the planned urban land
use. This process would counter excessive
land speculation and ensure an adequate
supply of land for development purpose.
5. Ask for donations.
The CRA can ask property owners to
donate their land for public use. The old
expression still holds true, "It doesn't hurt to
ask."
Proper maintenance of public spaces
New public spaces are best maintained
through taxing districts applied to the
neighborhood and adjacent properties. These
plazas and green spaces will be relatively small
in comparison to other City of Miami parks.
Maintenance, including grass, tree, and shrub
planting, landscape mowing and clipping,
emptying of garbage cans, litter cleanup, and
pressure cleaning paved surfaces should be
provided by the City of Miami.. These
services can also be provided by locally owned
businesses through an incentive program.
Recreational facilities and functions should
also be provided as part of City or County
programs.
The CRA can also coordinate with local
churches, civic groups, or organizations that
are willing to donate the time and resources to
maintain public spaces.
Successful Small Urban Parks & Squares:
The following are qualities that make
small parks and squares safe and useable:
1) Design matters more than acreage or uses
or luxury.
2) Natural surveillance is essential.
3) Enliven the place with regular activity.
4) Shape the public space with carefully placed
trees and buildings surrounding its edges.
5) Open and frame the views into and from
within the space.
6) Pedestrian access is all-important.
7) Calm the traffic, beautifully.
8) Provide shade.
9) Provide flexible open space for diverse
functions; do not fill up the park with excess
equipment.
10) Reserve places for symbols of civic pride
and uniqueness.
11) Plan for sustained care and maintenance.
Transportation System: Mobility and
Access
Successful urban environments are
supported by a variety of mobility choices,
thereby affording residents the freedom to
move about comfortably, whether on foot,
bicycle, via transit or automobile. In contrast,
areas designed primarily around the
automobile do not provide the level of
mobility and access necessary to create vibrant
places with an active street life.
Part of the challenge of redeveloping Park
West and Overtown is poor mobility and
access. Mobility is the ability to travel over
distances. Access is the ability to get to a
destination —to actually get to the door. This
condition has been created through a
combination of barriers such as the Interstate
Highways and the elevated Metrorail, and
further compounded by the system of one-
way streets. The one-way streets discourage
motorists from comfortably circulating within
the area. These streets also create "straight-
aways" that encourage motorists to speed and
make it unsafe for pedestrians to cross streets.
Although rail cargo and the elevated
transit facilities of Metrorail and the
Metromover, are seen as positive features in
the neighborhood, there are some specific
negative effects that these have on adjacent
properties and streets. The physical plan
25
attempts to suggest ways to diminish these
negative effects and maximize the positive
ones through the location of buildings and
public spaces.
Required CRA Actions:
Restoring the urban fabric and mitigating
some of the negative impacts of previous
transportation improvements are possible
through a set of changes carried out in
concert. These include:
1) Advocate, fund, and/or facilitate the re-
establishment of the traditional urban
network of streets and restoration of
missing links in the street grid.
2) Advocate, fund, and/or build pedestrian -
friendly street improvements.
3) Promote the return of two-way streets.
4) Advocate, facilitate, and construct on -
street parking
5) Assist with solutions to any noise, access,
and privacy problems associated with
properties along the rail and transit routes.
6) Develop pedestrian compatible
community transit system to link all
Southeast Overtown, Park West, and the
nearby Central Business District and
Omni area, as described in the Miami at
Midnight report.
7) Explore the possibility of a pedestrian
zone adjacent to the Overtown Metrorail
Station to enhance intermodal transfers,
as described in the Miami at Midnight
report.
Re-establishing the traditional urban
network of streets.
Throughout the Redevelopment Area, the
traditional urban block structure has been
altered. In several locations, streets have been
eliminated, and the network compromised.
This has created super -blocks, some of which
are 1,100 feet long or even longer. These
blocks are unusually large and do not fit with
the established grain and size of the original
street system and blocks, making navigation
needlessly difficult. Super -blocks limit both
vehicular and pedestrian access, causing an
unnecessary waste of time and fuel for
motorists and longer distances to travel for
pedestrians.
Newly created or connected streets should
generally do the following:
• Be designed as two-way streets with on -
street parking;
• Be of a similar right-of-way width to the
segments of existing streets with which
connections are being re-established; and,
• Provide
pedestrian -friendly street
improvements. in this section.
There are some locations within the
Redevelopment Area where streets are fenced
off or blocked by highways, rail lines, and the
Metrorail. If for some reason vehicular access
cannot be achieved in these locations, then
every effort needs to be made to at least open
them up for safe pedestrian access.
In contrast to the large super -blocks, there
are several locations where existing blocks are
extremely small. On a very limited basis it
may be advisable to close some of the
intermediate streets to form blocks of a size
more conducive to infill development. This
should be evaluated on a case -by -case basis
and not adopted as an overall policy. The
merits of enlarging a block include:
• Selling the rights -of -way and using the
proceeds toward the purchase of public
green space or for rights -of -way needed
elsewhere.
• Increasing the legibility of the
major streets.
• Directing and organizing routes of travel
without diminishing the primary street
system.
• Providing a larger development site for
contemporary buildings that may need
more room for midblock parking.

Pedestrian Friendly Street Improvements
In an urban setting, street level businesses
need a comfortable pedestrian environment, as
they are reliant on a walk-in customer base.
Strategies to make streets pedestrian friendly
include:
• Create a two-way street system. Two-way
streets have calmer traffic than one-way
streets, because drivers are more cautious
when adjacent to oncoming traffic.
• Provide on -street parking to create a
safety buffer between pedestrians on the
sidewalk and moving vehicles, and assist
ground level retail, restaurants, and
businesses.
• Create narrow travel lanes to discourage
speeding, and conserve the much -needed
space for on -street parking and wider
sidewalks.
• Maintain and create small curb radii,
which will require motorists to slow down
when turning at intersections.
• At neighborhood centers and intermodal
pedestrian zones, provide a rough road
surface (bricks or cobble stones, etc) that
discourage speeds beyond 20 mph)
Creating continuity on the streets is also a
top priority. Sidewalks should be designed to
encourage ground level businesses and
pedestrian activity from block to block. In
29
particular:
• Create wide sidewalks that allow
pedestrians to walk side -by -side as well as
pass each other, and also allow outdoor
dining to be part of the street scene.
• Shade pedestrian paths. This is an
absolute necessity in the South Florida
climate While shade trees should be
installed wherever practical, in general
shade trees are not as effective in
providing shade as projecting elements on
buildings such as awnings and colonnades.
Therefore these features should be
facilitated by zoning and mandated as part
of CRA-funded projects.
• Minimize crosswalk distance to limit the
amount of time when pedestrians are
walking in the travel lanes.
Promoting the Return of Two -Way Streets
The existing street system within the
Redevelopment Area contains a multitude of
one-way streets. These are unfavorable to the
future success of the area for several reasons.
One-way streets increase the speed of traffic,
thereby reducing pedestrian activity. Retail has
great difficulty thriving on one-way streets —
not only is their drive -by volume cut in half,
but each street is traversed primarily by either
the morning or the evening commuters, and
therefore, hours of high visibility are limited
Creating a two-way street system will alleviate
these problems and also help to orient those
traveling within the street system. Conversion
to two-way streets must be treated as a
priority.
All three scenarios in the Downtown
Transportation Master Plan include improving
the streets into a two-way street system. The
Downtown Transportation Master Plan's
study area is east of I-95. Areas of Overtown
west of I-95 are currently set up as one-way
streets. To extend and complete the system of
two-way streets, the following streets should
be converted as well: 10th Street, 11thStreet, 5th
Street, and 6th Street between I-95 and NW
7th Avenue. 5th and 6th Streets east of I-95
should remain one-way to accommodate Port
of Miami related traffic only if the FDOT
improvements take place.
Rail and Transit Routes
Rail:
The FEC rail line that runs along NW 1st
Avenue carries cargo to the Port of Miami
This serves a useful purpose, but the tracks
themselves form a barrier down the middle of
Overtown. Fortunately for the neighborhood,
the train moves slowly though this area
because it is nearing the end of the line at the
port.
To diminish the physical separation
between Overtown and Park West, more
crossings are needed at 9th, 10th, and 12th
Streets. Preferably these crossings will be for
both pedestrians and vehicles; however
priority should be given to pedestrian
crossings.
Transit Routes
In November 2002, the People's
Transportation Plan ("PTP") was approved by
the voters of Miami -Dade County. The new
transportation Plan added numerous rapid
transit corridors to the existing Metrorail
system, which currently serves only a limited
area, linking the remainder of the greater
metropolitan region.
Having the convenience of Metrorail in
Overtown is advantageous for the residents;
however, the physical structure of the elevated
rail has a negative impact on the
neighborhood with the following problems:
• The elevated tracks further break up the
neighborhood into little
separating neighbors and
streets.
• The space underneath the rail lines is
generally unlit and unsupervised, making
it unsafe, especially at night
• The noise from the trains makes the
30
pieces by
commercial
adjacent properties less desirable as places
to live.
• Although the appearance isn't unsightly, it
isn't beautiful either.
Miami -Dade County and the City of
Miami have been studying the location for a
new Metrorail route in the East/West
direction, linking the Miami International
Airport to the Port of Miami. Many of the
possible paths for the link between
Government Center and the Port pass
through Park West, but underground. An
underground Metrorail will be an
improvement compared to the elevated tracks.
The route once preferred by the County
and City planning departments may have been
ruined. The preferred route passes under the
Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. United States
Courthouse on NW 1" Avenue. The Board of
County Commissioners of Miami -Dade
County chose not to pay for the special
foundation required to accommodate the
subway train under the federal courthouse,
and instead has a foundation that cannot
accommodate a future subway underneath it.
In light of that problem, and since Park
West is well served by transit already, the best
subway routes for Park West may be those
that spare the inhabitants of Park West the
inconvenience of building a new line. The
subway does not have to go through Park
West. It could travel east on NW 2nd or 3rd
Streets and turn to the port under Bayfront
Park or under Biscayne Bay.
Another suggestion comes from the
Miami at Midnight report. Just as Metrorail
will be connected to the Miami International
Airport (MIA) with the ongoing development
of the Miami Intermodal Center ("MIC"), the
Port of Miami could be connected to
Metrorail with the creation of the "Overtown-
Park West Community Intermodal System."
As described in the report, these intermodal
improvements would be structurally very
different than the MIC, but would serve the
same intermodal purposes. It is basically
calling for passenger and freight intermodal
access improvements to integrate all modes of
intercity and local transportation as well as
connections with the private automobile in the
context of the existing historic Overtown and
Park West communities.
Key Ideas in the Miami at Midnight
Report
The Miami at Midnight Report explores
the opportunities and options for narrow
gauge rail transportation modality and shared
parking strategies to link the proposed
Promenade improvements to the Bicentennial
Park, the Miami Beach Baylink project and
other destinations within the redevelopment
area. It includes a description of the strategies
to create a pedestrian -oriented intermodal
access plan and a case for using cost efficient
narrow gauge rail and small community transit
vehicles for short distance intermodal
movements of passenger and goods. The
Report includes a description and
recommended locations for shared parking
structures and mixed -use buildings that are
placed on their perimeter (liner buildings) and
concludes with a description of the
opportunities to secure federal and state
funding, a scale of magnitude cost estimate
and recommended actions to be undertaken.
The value to the CRA in the Miami at
Midnight Report is that it describes a unique
mechanism to meet many of the
redevelopment objectives with a real funding
source. Key ideas from the Report include:
1) Rail Vehicles: The rail vehicles are
intended to be small, seven feet wide, and
nine feet tall. The floor height should be
5 inches from the street grade making it
easy to get in and out. Some cars can be
open air and some air-conditioned.
Seating can be positioned to
accommodate bicycles, baby carriages,
wheelchairs, luggage, grocery shopping
bags and other goods typical for
pedestrian, bicycle or automotive
31
transport.
2) Narrow gage rail: Since narrow gage rail is
designed for shorter slower trips, the costs
of installation and maintenance are lower.
3) Pedestrian Intermodal Access: Traffic
calming and pedestrian amenities will
need to be provided along the streets and
mixed mode corridors where the transit
routes will occur.
4) Freight Intermodal Access: The Miami at
Midnight Report assumes that 5th and 6th
streets become the primary truck route for
the Port. Recently the MPO has rejected
primary truck route due to opposition
from the Overtown community and
Miami -Dade Community College. This
portion of the Report, therefore, may no
longer be valid. However, continued
community discussions should be
undertaken to find a beneficial design that
provides port access but minimizes truck
traffic adverse to the community.
5) Liner buildings and Parking Structures:
The transit system is not simply tracks
and vehicles, but also parking garages.
The slower speed community transit and
narrow gauge rail vehicles also serve as
shuttles from parking to the various
attractions and transportation services in
this intermodal system. To make the
garages meet the objectives of a
pedestrian -oriented downtown neighbor-
hood, the garages must be lined with
useable habitable space that is accessible
from the street for commercial and
residential uses.
6) Community Intermodal System: The
various components of the
Redevelopment Plan will function as
elements of a community based
intermodal system (e.g., passenger and
freight intermodal facilities and
connectors). While the redevelopment of
the existing Metrorail and Metromover
station sites into a series of connected
liner buildings and parking structures
(with properly designed interior and
exterior spaces to better relate the
pedestrian activities at the street level with
the transit station floors twenty to thirty
feet above grade) can obviously be
proposed as an intermodal transportation
project that would qualify for
transportation trust funds, to a greater or
lesser degree, every improvement within
the Redevelopment Area should be seen
as an opportunity to improve the
32
intermodal movements within the
Redevelopment Area. The
Overtown/Park West Community
Intermodal System, therefore, consists of
specific pedestrian -oriented transportation
projects to enhance intermodal
connections and significantly increase
modal splits.
7) Funding Opportunities: In order to
understand the magnitude of these
funding opportunities, we only have to
look at the Florida Department of
Transportation's ("FDOT") annual
budget (approximately $4 billion) and the
significance of their ongoing efforts to
identify and focus funding towards the
critical elements of Florida's Strategic
Intermodal System. When combined with
the congressional schedule for TEA 21
Reauthorization and the United States
Department of Transportation
("USDOT") SAFETEA legislation
provisions, there is a clear opportunity to
define elements of the Redevelopment
Plan in fundable transportation project
terms.
This illustration shows how a narrow gauge rail vehicle can be small enough to fit within narrow right-of-way.
1 I to
i !'
8) Recommended Actions: The CRA needs
to immediately consider and approve
these transportation projects as
intermodal projects and seek the support
for these projects from the Miami City
Commission, the Board of County
Commissioners of Miami -Dade County,
the Miami -Dade Metropolitan Planning
Organization ("MPO"), the USDOT, the
FDOT, the Florida House and Senate
legislative delegation, the U.S.
Congressional delegation and both U.S.
Senators from the State of Florida.
Immediate discussions with members of
the FI C and SITAC would be very
important as well.
The proposals need to be presented as
consistent with USDOT and FDOT
intermodal initiatives and well -established
transportation law and policy. While
historically large-scale pedestrian -oriented
transportation improvements
difficult to conceptualize
transportation expenditures,
federal and state interest in
have been
as valid
with the
intermodal
projects (virtually all passenger intermodal
movements involve pedestrian trips),
there would seem to be a better
opportunity to undertake such an
initiative at this time.
33
To be seriously considered for state and
federal funding, the proposed intermodal
projects need to be identified in the
MPO's long-range plan and should be
scheduled within the FDOT's five-year
work program. Further, such intermodal
improvements need to also be identified
as an element of the Strategic Intermodal
Systems (SIS) (intermodal connectors or
otherwise) and addressed in the TEA 21
Reauthorization and related federal
appropriations decisions.
In undertaking these efforts, the CRA
must recognize that they will need to be a
funding participant with the City of Miami
and the Miami -Dade County as to any
state and federal originated transportation
funds. With the incorporation of
pedestrian -oriented mixed -mode streets
and corridors, parking shuttles and
community transit, parking structures and
liner buildings into this Redevelopment
Plan, the CRA, along with the Omni
Redevelopment District
Redevelopment Agency
implement initial components
Community
should
of the
intermodal improvements plan in
partnership with the Miami Parking
Authority (also known as the
"Department of Offstreet Parking"), or
other public and private partners, to
demonstrate how such a system will work
and why their transportation funding
partners (USDOT, FDOT, County and
City) should participate in such
community redevelopment related
transportation intermodal improvements.
Three maps have been included in this
Redevelopment Plan for reference. Obviously
the details of the routes, systems, and parking
garage locations may change as the system is
closer to implementation.

Parking
Having more than enough spaces in
surface parking lots can fragment the urban
environment and looks unsightly, while having
too few spaces can frustrate residents and
patrons. However, if individual property
owners maximize the amount of parking that
can be created on each private lot, and meet
1970s-style parking ratio expectations, the
result would be at best a blighted, unsuccessful
aspiring suburb rather than a pleasant,
walkable urban environment. More
commonly, high parking requirements make
small -scaled infill developments too difficult.
Therefore the CRA should promote a
balanced strategy that seeks to use space
efficiently and facilitate a system -wide
approach. Parking should be treated among
matters of public infrastructure rather than
just as a private endeavor on private
properties. The CRA should not enter the
business of parking, but can help implement
projects that can be managed privately or by
the Miami Parking Authority.
Required CRA Actions:
1) Advocate, fund, and/or build on -street
parking spaces in any future
redevelopment efforts within public
rights -of -way.
2) Support a reform of off-street parking
37
regulations to be adopted by the City of
Miami to reduce the unnecessary burden
on private developers. To jumpstart
redevelopment, new businesses in existing
buildings should be exempt from parking
requirements to reduce their startup costs
and therefore their financial risks.
Providing & Retaining On -Street Parking
On -street parking provides motorists with
access to street level businesses. These
businesses can capture the attention of both
pedestrians and drive -by motorists. On -street
parking also creates a comfortable pedestrian
environment by buffering pedestrians from
vehicles in the travel lanes. Sidewalks
automatically become active with pedestrians
because of people getting in and out of their
cars parked in the on -street spaces.
Existing on -street parking throughout the
Redevelopment Area should be maintained.
The potential for adding on -street parking to
streets where it is not currently provided
should be explored when roadway
improvements occur over time. All new and
improved streets within the Redevelopment
Area should be designed to include on -street
parking.
Off-street Parking
In overly car -dependent regions such as
South Florida, each development will
commonly attempt to provide for their own
parking on -site with a parking structure or
parking lot. In urban areas, some of the
negative effects of storing large quantities of
cars on each site are:
• Experiencing gaps between buildings,
from parking lots, when walking down a
sidewalk is disruptive for retail
environments. Shoppers are easily turned
off by these gaps and will often stop
shopping or pause and turn around if it
looks like there are not any worthwhile
destinations down the street.
• Parking structures greatly increase the
costs to develop a building. This makes
market rate and workforce housing, for
example, more difficult to find in central
urban areas, where such housing is
primarily needed. Luxury apartment
dwellers more easily absorb the cost of
the parking garages.
• Development that includes parking
structures requires larger parcels to create
functional structures and financially viable
projects. This generally requires the
projects to be large in scale, and therefore
harder to finance and harder to fit within
the fabric of the neighborhood.
• Parking structures associated with one
building do not necessarily create a
"shared" situation, which can reduce the
overall needed parking spaces. The
concept of shared parking means that at
night an apartment resident can use the
same parking space used by an office
employee during the day. In the suburban
model, office buildings and residential
buildings are not typically designed to
share parking; nor is the building
management company in the business of
managing parking.
Without shared parking, the inefficient
end result is that more money is spent and
more land is utilized for parking than is really
necessary.
Making shared parking work
As shared parking facilities are built and
the area becomes more developed, livable,
interesting, and walkable, with daily needs and
services present, some households may opt to
do without an automobile or share fewer cars
among family members. Developers of new
buildings will not have to provide as much of
their own parking as they did in the past. The
CRA can do its part by participating in public -
private ventures to build shared parking
38
facilities. This will take the burden off local
property owners interested in redeveloping or
improving their properties and buildings.
Reducing the Impact of Parking Garages:
To diminish the visual and negative
impact of parking garages, these guidelines
should be followed:
• No blank walls of parking garages or walls
with openings to the parking garage
should directly face public streets.
• A "liner" of habitable space with a
minimum depth of twenty feet should be
constructed between the street and the
garage portion of the building. Ground
floors of garages may contain lobby
entrances, entrances to parking, and
should also contain retail space.
Recommended liner building depths are
thirty to forty feet for residential and
office, fifty to sixty feet for retail. First
floor residential uses should be raised a
minimum of two feet above the average
sidewalk grade.
• Gates or payment kiosks should be at
least forty feet from the sidewalk if the
entrance is on a street.
• Wherever possible, entrances to the
parking garage should be from an alley or
side street.
• For safety reasons, garages should be well
lit during all hours of operation and
patrolled by security officers.
Land Development Regulations
Adherence to, and revisions of, the City's
Zoning and Land Development
Regulations.
All CRA Redevelopment activities shall
adhere to the City of Miami's Comprehensive
Plan and all zoning and regulatory
requirements, as revised from time to time.
The existing zoning regulations do not
necessarily encourage or ensure the
development of street -oriented, urban
buildings. This situation is not unique to the
Redevelopment Area. A fine-tuning of the
citywide land development regulations will
eventually occur. However, to assist projects
that are entering the development stage in a
timely manner, a new set of Urban Design
Standards for Redevelopment Area, plus
accompanying incentives, can offer an
intermediate solution.
The proposed Urban Design Standards
would reflect adjusted zoning mechanisms in
certain zones within the Redevelopment Area.
In the past, the low Maximum Building
footprint (the percentage of the property
which can be covered with a building), and the
Floor Area Ratio (the amount of square
footage that is habitable based on size of the
lot) required land assembly to form large
parcels, sometimes encompassing an entire
39
city block.
To reduce this need to assemble several
parcels into one, the Maximum Building
footprint should be increased, minimum
parking requirements reduced, and Floor Area
Ratio either de-emphasized or eliminated.
Then buildings will be allowed to vary in size
and scale, and an orderly mixture of buildings
can occur within any given city block. Specific
reforms that should be reflected in the new
Design Standards, for at least some areas
within the Redevelopment Area include:
• Increased maximum building footprints
• Revised floor area ratios, in certain zones
• Decreased parking requirements
• Decreased open space requirements
• Building envelope requirements (i.e., step -
backs and tower orientation rules) to
maintain access to sunlight and prevailing
breezes. This will have the added benefit
of optimizing east -west view corridors.
The new Urban Design Standards shall
describe the following:
• The Building -To -Street Relationship: how
buildings should face the street at the
ground level. This includes elements such
as distance between operable doors,
percentage of window glazing, and the use
of projecting elements to provide shade,
such as colonnades and awnings,
balconies, or overhangs.
• Building Envelope: how the mass of the
building is expressed to maintain quality
street spaces, while optimizing
development potential.
• Architectural Elements: the basic
architectural features to create fit with the
climate and visual interest in buildings and
to provide harmony among diverse
designs by many architects.
• A Mixture of Uses: Reducing or
eliminating off-street parking
requirements for storefront businesses
located at the street level will be attractive
to small business, provided there is
enough pedestrian traffic on the adjacent
street. This may also be an incentive for a
developer to build retail square footage at
the base of an office or residential
building, furthering the initiative of
mixing uses.
The overall benefit will be to create
flexibility within a framework of reasonable
certainty, allowing
the development
community to deliver a variety of building
types to provide a range of housing options
and services needed to accommodate
individuals of numerous lifestyles and
economic positions.

Physical Plan
The Physical Plan shows the physical and
geographic conditions of public and private
buildings. The plan identifies civic buildings,
private buildings, streets, highways, and mass
transit lines. Various colors for areas between
buildings identify parks and open spaces,
parking locations, sidewalks, street trees, and
yards.

Possible Changes to I-395
The MPO has been discussing
modifications to I-395 between I-95 and the
Macarthur Causeway. Various scenarios have
been presented by the Florida Department of
Transportation, the apparent favored
alternative being the one with trenched
through -lanes with at -grade frontage roads.
Park West and the Omni area would be
reconnected with bridges for city streets
spanning the travel lanes below. This
alternative suggests moving the alignment of I-
395 northward along NE -NW 13th Street, and
therefore creating a re -developable swath of
land at its current location.
The plans on the right compare this
alternative with the Redevelopment Plan as
drawn and show that it is compatible.

Projects and Project Areas: An
Overview
This section is organized into two primary
subsections, "Project Areas," and "Projects
and Strategies." The Project Areas are
numbered "A" through "J" and as a group do
not encompass the entire Redevelopment
Area. They should be thought of as various
"starting points" for projects within the
Redevelopment Area. The impetus of
focusing efforts into these Project Areas is a
direct response to the unfair accusations by
some members of the public that the CRA has
spent large sums of money and has little to
show for it. When money is spent evenly
throughout the Redevelopment Area, it is
difficult to see where the money has gone,
because you can not stand in one location and
see a 100% transformation. The purpose of
having the Project Areas is to focus
expenditures and efforts in small areas to totally
transform them, creating as dramatic and
visible an impact as possible. By
concentrating the efforts, people will
experience what the larger area will look, feel,
smell, and sound like as revitalization spreads,
inspiring additional private reinvestment.
The boundaries for Project Areas are not
intended to be treated as finite boundaries. If
a redevelopment proposal is adjacent to the
area and it meets the urban design solutions of
45
the project, then it should be considered part
of the Project Area.
The current projects and programs to be
facilitated by the CRA are listed and described
in the second half of this section, following
the description and intent of the Project
Areas. These projects may need to be updated
from time to time as the projects evolve and
components are implemented. Some may
need to be removed from the plan when they
are sufficiently completed. New projects may
need to be added. This section can be
supplemented by another document or
documents revising the list of projects or
describing them in greater detail.
Criteria for Physical Improvements
The following are criteria for any physical
improvement project to be endorsed by the
CRA:
• It produces a total, outdoor
environment of exceptional beauty,
which exudes safety and optimism, and
which stands out in marked contrast to
blight.
• It involves a combination of adaptive
re -use of existing (or better, historic)
structures with new buildings and
improved public spaces.
• It involves a completion of the public
space; for example, both sides of the
street, all corners of an intersection, or
all sides of a park or green space should
be built out or renovated.
• It includes a significant residential
component, preferably owner -occupied;
one desire is to repopulate the area and
to correct an imbalance of renters
versus owners.
• It lures residents of moderate incomes
or varied incomes; these are "colonists"
who will demonstrate the viability of
close -in convenient neighborhoods and
whose discretionary income will help
support businesses.
• It suggests what the larger
neighborhood will be like as
revitalization spreads, and it inspires
private reinvestment.
• Its purpose meets the principles and
goals described in Section 2 of this
redevelopment plan
Project Areas
Stakeholders' Roles.
Specific roles for each of the stakeholders
appear below and with the Project Area
descriptions. In the spirit of teamwork, the
stakeholders can each do their part to
revitalize the area. The roles for stakeholders
other than the CRA should be considered as
suggestions. Approval of this plan should in
no way require agencies or individuals outside
of the CRA to perform the suggested actions.
Stakeholders include:
CRA: Perform actions as sanctioned under
the Redevelopment Act of 1969 and identified
in this Community Redevelopment Plan.
City of Miami: Continue support for the CRA
and make changes to the zoning and other land
development regulations for properties in this
part of the City. The City should maintain and
improve its properties in Overtown, and use its
resources to provide a safe and attractive
community.
Overtown Civic Partnership: Focus efforts
in partnership with the City of Miami and the
CRA. The Overtown Civic Partnership's goals
mirror those of the CRA. These include goals
regarding housing and physical development,
economic development, community buildings,
and leadership development.
For Profit Developers, Community
Development Corporations, and Investors:
Continue redeveloping properties, adding
more jobs and housing options within the
community.
46
Residents in the Community:: As most are
aware, revitalization takes a long time. Spend
the effort and money to improve the
appearance of homes and yards. Sometimes
little tasks that do not cost too much can make
a big difference, such as repainting, adding a
tree or shrubs, and picking up litter that might
be on your street or in your or your neighbor's
yard.
Rental or Commercial Property Owners
and Business Operators: Maintain or
improve the appearance of your buildings.
Grants and low -interest loan programs are
available to accelerate improvements. Property
owners who do not intend to make
improvements should consider selling their
properties or partnering with others who have
greater resources.
Overtown Community Oversight Board:
Continue monitoring and guiding the various
activities within Overtown, including
implementation strategies and creating new
affiances.

Foundation of South Florida, Inc.:
Continue the efforts to promote and preserve
the cultural heritage of the community.

Challenges
• There is an awkward traffic pattern for
vehicles proceeding north along NW 1"
Avenue.
• Pedestrians are crossing the railroad tracks
under unsafe condition, simply because
they are walking the shortest route
between two points.
• The railroad tracks, buildings, and vacant
properties lining NW 1" Avenue are
unsightly.
• There is a general lack of sense of place
resulting from low building heights in
proportion to the street width. This takes
away from the potential of NW 1"
Avenue becoming an important signature
location.
New Opportunities
There are a number of opportunities that
an enhanced NW 1" Avenue will afford the
neighborhood. One of these is the
improvement of the pedestrian connection
between the newly proposed Promenade in
Park West and the Overtown neighborhood.
47
Better pedestrian routes and improved walking
conditions will allow residents and visitors
alike to circulate between the two areas.
Another opportunity is that the railroad right-
of-way can accommodate a new light rail
system, the Baylink. A station along this
section of the avenue will bring people to the
Promenade and serve as a link to downtown
Miami and Miami Beach for neighborhood
residents.
NW 1st Avenue does not need to be a
strong retail oriented street. A mixture of
office and residential buildings are the best
choice for the extra -wide roadway. Retail
efforts should be focused on the core area of
Overtown and the key east -west streets such
as 9th, 11th, and 14th.
Urban Design Solutions
1) With the current traffic pattern,
northbound vehicles need to stop, turn
left and cross the railroad tracks and then
stop and turn right to continue north. To
resolve this odd driving route, the main
travel lanes of NW 1st Avenue will curve
across to the western side of the railroad
tracks and continue to the north. The
roadway on the eastern side of the tracks
should remain a two-way street.
2) Legitimize parking on the east side of NW
1st Avenue by marking on -street spaces
and installing parking meters.
3) A number of changes and improvements
are proposed in the Physical Plan to create
a more pedestrian -friendly environment
along NW 1st Avenue. Several new at -
grade crossings of the railroad tracks are
proposed. This will allow for safer
pedestrian movement across the tracks as
well as establish missing connections in
the street grid. Improvements to
sidewalks and the addition of street lights
and shade trees along the median will
provide a more enjoyable walking
environment at all times of the day.
4) Taller building heights, when combined
with the landscape improvements, will
increase the definition of the public space
on both sides of the tracks and will
contribute to creating a sense of place.
The natural surveillance that occurs when
people can watch the Avenue through the
windows of their homes or offices will
make NW 1st Avenue a much safer place.
5) A parking structure in some location
along NW 1st Avenue, perhaps in
Overtown, will service the parking need
generated by the influx of visitors and
daily inhabitants to the area. Any
proposed parking structures must be lined
with habitable spaces (such as offices,
apartments, or hotel rooms) facing the
streets or avenues.

Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
CRA:
• Make sure there are Credit Counseling
Services available for existing Overtown
residents, to help them qualify for
homeownership.
• Make sure there is an organization set up
that can offer basic financial literacy
training, job training, education and other
supportive services for people with
extremely low incomes that can not
qualify for home ownership.
• Begin talks with FEC and Miami -Dade
County Public Works to change the
configuration of NW 1st Avenue. This
Avenue has historically been the divider
between Overtown and Park West, and
the redesign is needed to make it the
unifier.
• Support the City with the effort of
revising the land development regulations,
by funding the effort and/or promoting it
with the community.
City of Miami: The Planning Department
should prepare new development regulations
for properties along Biscayne Boulevard in
Park West to create rules that will provide an
attractive and safe pedestrian environment
facing Biscayne Boulevard.

efforts to implement public —private joint
development projects.
Residents in the Community. Residents
should participate in programs to better
prepare them to take advantage of home

Challenges
• The historic

in this area needs to be regenerated.
Many of the historic buildings have been
demolished.
• There is a need for a safe public gathering
space associated with the restored and
expanded Lyric Theater.
• Insuring the economic viability of the
Lyric Theater as the cultural anchor of
Historic Overtown
• Once the Lyric Theater and surrounding
businesses become successful, there will
be a perceived shortage of parking spaces,
and new parking spaces will be needed for
infill redevelopment.
• Residential population has decreased in
year 2000 from year 1990 according to the
Federal Census, explaining the decrease in
viable businesses that offer services to the
residents.
New Opportunities
55
The Project Area called "Overtown" is
intended to be the central core of Overtown.
Groups like the Overtown Civic Partnership
are proactively planning to revive Overtown,
creating a "destination of choice." The Lyric
Plaza will be the focal public open space for
cultural and entertainment activities. The
Black Archives, History & Research
Foundation of South Florida, Inc. has restored
the Lyric Theater and rents it out for activities
and events. The Lyric Theater will also attract
business to the area from performances
associated with the Adrienne Arsht Center for
the Performing Arts of Miami -Dade County.
The CRA, the County, and the South
Florida Land Trust already control significant
land parcels in this vicinity, and have been
assembling them for the purpose of
redevelopment.
The May 2002 Economic Programming
Study prepared by ZHA, Inc. for all of
Overtown recommends that an enticement
program be created by an Action Team for
Procurement. The Action Team is to be made
up of commercial realtors, bankers,
commercial developers, and a senior CRA
staff member. Their job is to attract a tenant
mix that supports the jazz, blues, and gospel
entertainment venues and the supporting
businesses in retail and services.
The Lyric Theater serves as the cultural
anchor of "Historic Overtown," and can serve
to significantly enhance efforts to create a
tourist destination. The long-term viability of
the Lyric Theater as the cultural anchor, and
future commercial retail and residential
developments is critical. Keeping the theater
open and active may require additional public -
private partnerships.
Urban Design Solutions
1) The Lyric Plaza should be surrounded on
three sides by mixed -use buildings, with
the fourth side being the planned addition
to the theater. The ground level of these
buildings should contain restaurants, bars,
clubs, and shops offering unique
merchandise with cultural appeal. These
establishments will complement the
theater -going experience and will
encourage people to come early and linger
after performances at the Lyric Theater
and other future clubs in the area.
2) Offices and/or apartments should occupy
the upper floors around the Lyric Plaza.
3) Vehicular access should be provided on
the west and north sides of the Lyric
Plaza, providing a drop-off location for
patrons and providing access to midblock
parking facilities.
4) The city blocks between NW 2nd Avenue
and 3rd Avenue should follow the Folk
Life Village Plan in character, with two to
four story buildings.
5) Taller buildings should be built facing
NW Pt Avenue and the Metrorail tracks.
Integrated into these buildings should be
garages that provide shared parking spaces
to theatergoers, the businesses, residents,
and visitors on NW 2nd Avenue and in the
Folk Life Village area.

Challenges
• Buildings that once opened toward the
street with doors and windows have been
closed up, presumably due to crime or the
perception of vulnerability to crime
• Neighborhood -serving retail has been
reduced to a handful of bars, small
markets, hair salons and barber shops,
and laundromats.
• The Culmer Center building is far from
the street, fenced off, poorly lit at night,
and the property is significantly
underutilized.
• Existing apartment buildings in the area
are at best plain and, in many cases, aging
and unattractive.
New Opportunities
NW 3rd Avenue could become a thriving
mixed -use commercial street with businesses
that better support the daily needs of both
longtime residents and newcomers. New
residential development, such as Village of St.
Agnes, Carrie Meek Tower, and St. John
63
Village will increase the variety of housing
choices and diversify the household types and
incomes, and return the customers needed for
the businesses. The Culmer Center could be
rebuilt and expanded as an impressive street -
oriented building, with a courtyard for certain
outdoor activities. The corner at NW 17th
Street and NW 3rd Avenue has large trees that
will enhance what could be turned into a
public green square. Vehicular traffic around
the new green square will make it safer than
the property currently appears.
ZHA's 2003 Economic Programming
Report supports the need for additional retail
in North Overtown, especially with the 102
new units that are soon to come on the
market.
Urban Design Solutions
1) Use the Culmer Center property as a
redevelopment site.
a) The existing facility should be
replaced with a new structure built at
the corner of NW 17th Street and
NW 4th Avenue. The new building
should be oriented to the street, with
an open air courtyard.
b) An unfenced public green or park
should be built at the corner of NW
17th Street and NW 3rd Avenue where
currently there are large trees. The
front entrance of the new Culmer
Center should face the new green
square.
c) The remaining portion of the Culmer
Center property along NW 3rd
Avenue should be redeveloped as 2-
to 4-story flexible -use buildings,
oriented toward the street like those
on the east side of NW 3rd Avenue.
d) The remaining portion of the Culmer
Center Property along NE 4th Avenue
should be redeveloped for residential
or office uses. Live/work
combinations should be encouraged.
2) Properties on the eastern side of NW 3rd
Avenue should be refurbished or
redeveloped into 2- to 4-story mixed -use
buildings. Windows and doors must face
NW 3rd Avenue to make walking along
the sidewalk safe and worthwhile.
3) Implement the Trust for Public Land's
Overtown Greenway Plan (the portions
for North Overtown, in particular).
NE/NW 14th Street is the main
pedestrian connection into the Omni
Area.
4) Sidewalks should be repaired where
broken and trees planted where there are
gaps. This segment of NW 3rd Avenue
currently has a nice mature street tree
canopy that should be retained during any
future streetscape project.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
CRA:
• Make sure there are Credit Counseling
Services available for existing Overtown
residents, to help them qualify for
homeownership.
• Make sure there is an organization set up
that can offer basic financial literacy
training, job training, education and other
supportive services for people with
extremely low incomes that can not
qualify for home ownership.
• Initiate a streetscape improvement project
for North Overtown.
• Help attract new businesses to NW 3rd
Avenue in anticipation of new residents
moving into Village of St. Agnes, Carrie
Meek Tower, and St. John Village, making
those businesses more viable than with
the current population.
• Provide assistance perhaps through a

NW 8th Street
properties that face NW 3rd Avenue
properties that face NW 3rd Avenue
On June 9th, 1998, the Miami City
Commission, by Resolution No. R-98-592,
designated NW 3rd Avenue from
approximately NW 8th Street to
approximately NW 14th Street, and NW 8th
Street from NW 2nd Avenue to NW 3rd
Avenue, as the Historic Overtown Priority
Business Corridor. This general designation
gave the CRA the ability to start planning
activities, to assist the overall commercial
revitalization of Overtown.
Challenges
• More buildings require renovation.
• The community has criticized the
construction of parking lots, because they
appear to remain empty and decrease the
sense of a built-up neighborhood.
• The street has many churches, each
needing additional parking during church
events and funerals that occur on days
other than Sundays. These events further
reduce the parking availability for business
patrons.
67
• There is a lack of shade for pedestrians.
• Sidewalks are narrower than those for
typical main streets, making it less
comfortable for shoppers and other
pedestrians.
New Opportunities
The potential for a thriving NW 3rd
Avenue has not been lost. The segment near
NW 8th Street is quite visible for people
getting on I-95, and it is somewhat visible for
northbound motorists on I-95. More
noticeable improvements between NW 8th and
NW 10th Streets will attract people to stop
there who might otherwise pass by, or who
might be interested enough by a passing
glance to want to return when they have more
time.
Urban Design Solutions
1) Do not build any more parking lots until
the demand for the area increases to the
point where there is a real parking
problem. The project entitled Planning and
Development of Parking Facilities for the
Historic Priority Business Corridor, should be
considered complete until more parking is
needed in the Priority Business Corridor.
The surface parking lots constructed by
the CRA were intended to be an interim
use. The CRA is interested in
development proposals for those
properties, provided parking is included
that is also accessible for existing
neighborhing buildings.
2) Shade for pedestrians is urgently needed.
This can be accomplished by planting
trees between the on -street parking
spaces, or with awnings, canopies, roof
overhangs, balconies, colonnades, or
arcades attached to the buildings.
3) Vehicular travel lanes should be narrowed
so that the extra space can be added to
the sidewalk width. On -street parking
must remain in any future streetscape
project, to help the businesses along the
street, and to add a safety barrier between
the moving cars and the pedestrians.
4) Landscaping along the embankments of
the Interstate Highways and the Metrorail
should be continued.
5) Improve the appearance of Church -
owned parking lots. These are mostly
empty except during Sunday services and
other events and they could be landscaped
better. Better yet, develop new buildings
to house church programs, community
outreach services, subsidized housing or
for generating revenue through renting
and leasing. Any new buildings will likely
have to include parking structures, and
minimize the view to parking from NW
3rd Avenue.
Implementation Strategies
The 1998 Study for the Historic Overtown
NW 3rd Avenue Priority Business Corridor
recommended that an economic study was
needed, that a business capacity and
identification program be created, and a
"theme" be adopted. The May 2002
Economic Programming Study, prepared by
ZHA, Inc. for all of Overtown, estimates the
magnitude of commercial and residential
development that Overtown can sustain. It
recommends that an enticement program be
created by an Action Team for Procurement.
The Action Team is to be made up of
commercial realtors, bankers, commercial
developers, and a senior CRA staff member.
Their job is to attract a tenant mix that
supports the jazz, blues, and gospel
entertainment venues and the supporting
businesses in retail and services. The study
suggests that the success of future residential
development is dependant upon the success of
the commercial uses. This action team will
have to work on the Priority Commercial
Corridor in a coordinated manner with
entertainment district intended for Overtown.
A "theme" is not so important, but
positioning the Overtown neighborhood
properly in an advertising and marketing
campaign will be important to its success.
68
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
CRA:
• Continue to plan and coordinate
improvements for this Project Area.
• Coordinate efforts with the Overtown
Civic Partnership.
• Help existing and new commercial
property owners attract quality tenants,

NW 7th Avenue
Challenges
• Streets were closed off near Reeves Park,
and in turn, create large blocks, referred to
as "superblocks." These sometimes are
difficult for pedestrians to cross, and
make motorists drive farther, consuming
time and expensive fuel.
• Boarded up buildings greet motorists
entering Downtown from the I-95 ramp
that becomes NW 3rd Court.
• The two blocks of neighborhood serving
retail blocks on NW 5th Avenue might be
difficult to revive in the near term.
New Opportunities
The location of this area between
downtown and the Miami River will become
desirable as a neighborhood in which to live
once the
amenities
functional.
apartments and neighborhood
become more attractive and
ZHA's 2003 Economic
Programming Report supports the need for
residential units in West Overtown.
The one-way streets in this neighborhood
could be returned to two-way, shortening car
70
trips and removing confusion for motorists.
Apartments could be quite desirable facing all
four sides of Reeves Park. Opening up the
superblock so that streets will surround all
four sides of Reeves Park will make the park
appear to be safer.
West Overtown does have industrial uses
along NW 7th Avenue. Those that are
compatible to the neighborhood should not be
discouraged. Special attention will need to be
given to the transition from industrial to
residential uses. These businesses provide
jobs for local residents at wage levels higher
than retail jobs and likely high enough to
support a family.
Urban Design Solutions
1) To break up the superblocks, former
streets will need to be restored, especially
the superblock bordered by NW 8th Street
and NW 10th Street between NW 5th
Avenue and NW 7th Avenue.
2) Apartment buildings must vary in form
and color to enhance the visual
appearance of the neighborhood.
3) The fronts of new apartment buildings
facing Reeves Park shall have their front
doors facing the Park.
4) Neighborhood serving commercial land
uses shall be encouraged on NW 5th
Avenue between NW 7th Street and NW
10th Street, except on the Reeves Park
property.
5) Provide on -street parking, especially near
neighborhood serving commercial
buildings and around Reeves Park.
6) Implement the Trust for Public Land's
Overtown Greenway from the Miami
River to Overtown.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
CRA:
• Help the Trust for Public Land
implement their Overtown Greenway.
• Make sure there are Credit Counseling
Services available for existing Overtown
residents, to help them qualify for
homeownership.
• Make sure there is an organization set up
that can offer basic financial literacy
training, job training, education and other
supportive services for people with
extremely low incomes that can not
qualify for home ownership.
• Help promote neighborhood serving retail
for West Overtown in a similar manner to
Historic Overtown Priority Business
Corridor.
• Encourage the City to change the one-way
streets in West Overtown back to two-
way streets.
• Assist residential developers to provide
additional quality housing in West
Overtown.
• Help existing and future commercial
property owners attract quality tenants,
and national retailers, by starting the
Action Team as described in ZHA's 2003
Economic Programming Study
City of Miami:
• The Public Works Department should
turn the one-way streets to two-way
streets which is recommended for
Overtown and Park West in the
Downtown Transportation Master Plan.
• Contribute to changes to Reeves Park as
new development opportunities arise on
surrounding properties.
• Upgrade the appearance and facilities at
Athalie Range #1 Mini Park.
• Encourage buildings that face Reeves
Park and Athalie Range #1 Mini Park to
provide natural surveillance of the parks
and provide incentives for creative
architectural designs that blend residential
buildings with the culture of the
neighborhood.
Overtown Civic Partnership: Focus efforts

Project Area F: Properties Facing
Biscayne Boulevard
General Boundaries:
North: I-395
South: NE 5th Street
East: Biscayne Boulevard
West: NE 2nd Avenue
Challenges
• Most properties facing Bicentennial Park
remain vacant and only used for parking
for events at the American Airlines Arena.
However, ownership has changed, which
may signal that change is not too far off.
• Zoning regulations for buildings fronting
Bicentennial Park do not necessarily
promote street -oriented buildings.
• Biscayne Boulevard is difficult to cross
with the fast-moving traffic and the large
number of travel lanes. There are very
few marked crosswalks.
New Opportunities
Requiring buildings to be sited on the
front property line or a designated "build -to"
line will allow Biscayne Boulevard to develop
into an urban street befitting its location and
history. Building envelope controls should
prevent new buildings from blocking air flow
and light from existing buildings behind them,
to optimize air quality.
Awnings, colonnades, and balconies must
75
provide needed protection from the elements
for passing pedestrians. These sheltered
locations will also provide opportunities for
outdoor dining along Biscayne Boulevard,
contributing to Miami's warm -weather
lifestyle.
Parking garages lined with habitable
spaces facing the streets will help satisfy the
parking needs of the new Biscayne Boulevard
buildings. The habitable space lining the
garages will give these utilitarian structures an
urban face toward the public spaces of the
streets and Park.
Urban Design Solutions
1) The primary solutions to the challenges
faced by Biscayne Boulevard buildings will
be found in changes to the zoning code.
These code changes must address such
issues as building placement, awnings, and
colonnades, among others. The Biscayne
Boulevard Special Area Plan details these
recommended changes.
2) More control is to be exercised over the
building envelope, allowing buildings to
interact more sensitively with prevailing
breezes and improve air quality. A twelve
story building base requirement should be
instituted to create a more unified "street
wall" and improve the spatial enclosure
along Biscayne Boulevard and
Bicentennial Park.
3) Additional pedestrian crossings are to be
located along Biscayne Boulevard to
increase pedestrian safety and mobility.
4) With the two new museums planned for
Bicentennial Park, their parking demands
should be met offsite, on the west side of
Biscayne Boulevard. By making the
motorists park west of Biscayne and walk
down the streets and across the
Boulevard, merchants gain better
visibility, and the pedestrian traffic makes
the streets safer, just by their presence.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
CRA:
• Support the City with the effort of
revising the land development regulations,
by funding the effort and/or promoting it
with the community.
• Until such time as the new land
development regulations are in place,
facilitate meetings with property owners
prior to the completion of their
construction documents and approvals to
show them the intentions of the new
regulations.
City of Miami:
• Help the CRA implement a shared
parking garage to serve the Museums and
Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing
Arts of Miami -Dade County on the west
side of Biscayne Boulevard.
• The Planning and Zoning Departments
should prepare new development
regulations for properties along Biscayne
Boulevard in Park West to create rules
that will provide an attractive,
comfortable, and safe pedestrian
environment facing Biscayne Boulevard.
Commercial Property Owners and
Developers:
• Every floor facing Biscayne Boulevard
should have habitable and useable space.
Parking garages on lower floors should
have "liners" of habitable space. Drop-
offs may occur in the on -street parking
lane, should FDOT create a parking lane
in its new design for the roadway.
• Primary entrances should face Biscayne
Boulevard.
• Vehicular entrances to garages and
delivery bays should occur on NE 2nd
Avenue, but not on Biscayne Boulevard.

Challenges
• Unused railroad right-of-way that has
become an unsightly alley.
• Nondescript, windowless buildings lining
the right-of-way, contributing to a bleak
atmosphere.
• The current physical conditions provide
hiding locations for wrong -doers and the
homeless.
• Rapid success of the Entertainment
District has resulted in peak times for
parking and traffic congestion.
• Businesses open during daylight hours are
few, causing the area to look empty and
abandoned during the day.
New Opportunities
The Promenade holds the promise of a great
location for a vibrant entertainment district
and setting for an urban lifestyle in Miami It
will be a pedestrian link between Overtown,
Biscayne Boulevard, and the new museums in
Bicentennial Park, activated by nightclubs and
restaurants at night and locally serving
businesses during the day. New residents will
78
be some of the patrons supporting the local
economy. The parking needs of these patrons
will be accommodated in a lined parking
structure adjacent to NW 1st Avenue.
New mid -block plazas that will be created
along the Promenade will function as public
gathering spaces for the clubs that have
recently been relocating to the Promenade.
Most successful commercial districts have
anchors to draw patrons. The Promenade will
have on its eastern edge a renovated
Bicentennial Park (future Museum Park), with
two new museums, the Miami Art Museum
(MAM), and the Miami Museum of Science.
At the western end of the Promenade, along
NW 1" Avenue, a significant anchor has not
yet been identified. . This anchor should
attract people to the neighborhood during
daylight hours, as well as at night.
Terraces, whether part of new buildings
or added to the existing buildings, will provide
space for outdoor dining at ground level and
above, improving the "outdoor" lifestyle that
Miami's weather allows.
Urban Design Solutions
1) Examine and modify, if necessary, zoning
regulations to encourage new multi -story
mixed -use buildings and parking garages.
The requirement of windows, doors, and
terraces to the existing buildings along the
Promenade will contribute to the natural
surveillance of the space making the
environment safer. New regulations
could add incentives additional parking
for civic buildings such as the Center for
the Performing Arts, the two arenas, and
the future museums in Bicentennial Park.
2) Design a construction plan that will detail
the approach to lighting, signage, and new
pavement in an effort to encourage
business activity and make the area safer.
This could be implemented on a block by
block basis as funds permit.
3) Modify the boundaries of the City's
Entertainment District to include just the
properties that face NE/NW 11th Street
and NE/NW 10th Street from Biscayne
Blvd on the east to NW 1st Avenue on the
west (including both sides of NW 1th
Avenue).
4) Review the Promenade Special Area Plan
for more design concepts and strategies.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
CRA:
• Fund and implement improvements to
the former railroad now known as the
Promenade. These improvements should
include, but not be limited to, re -surfacing
pavement, landscaping, increased lighting,
and painting. Acquiring the services of
engineers or landscape architects may be
required.
• Coordinate and help facilitate in some
manner, an air conditioned garbage
location accessible by all the businesses
along the Promenade. This could be
constructed as part of a new building or
by renovating an existing one.
Management of this facility should be
taken on by one of the building managers
for collecting fees, for example.
• Support the City with the effort of
revising the land development regulations,
by funding the effort and/or promoting it
with the community.
City of Miami:
• Work with the CRA if necessary to
implement the shared garbage facility.
The City should not be responsible for
the management of this facility.
• The Planning Department should prepare
new development regulations for
properties with C-1 zoning in Park West,
to allow an increase in development
opportunity.
• Support the creation of a zoning
ordinance that allows outdoor dining for
the Promenade.
• Examine the modification of the
boundaries for the City's Entertainment
District. Interest appears to be focused
on the 11th Street area. The southern
79
portion of the boundaries should be
removed. The boundaries can be
extended to the west to include portions
of Overtown. The area around the Lyric
Theater should be included.
• Continue to provide police support for
the Redevelopment Area.
• Solve the homeless situation in the area
and assist Charities Unlimited in the
relocation and/or upgrade of its Camillus
House facility.
• Assist in the infrastructure installation for
the area, particularly the wiring of fiber
optics.
Overtown Civic Partnership: Seek
opportunities for the positive effects of the
Entertainment District to "spill" over into

Commercial Property Owners and
Developers:
• When renovating existing structures or
building new ones orient patio entrances,
outdoor dining, or entertainment spaces
to the Promenade.
• Enclose unsightly rear building items,
such as electrical meters, back flow,
preventers, etc.
• Place mechanical equipment on roofs to
keep the Promenade free of the noise and
unsightliness.
• Work with the CRA or City to create a
shared garbage facility.

because
right-of-way between 6th and 7th
7th Street is not a through -street,
it is blocked by the former Miami
Arena site.
New Opportunities
Recently various property owners in this
area have organized a collective effort to
coordinate future development across multiple
City blocks. They can do this with flexibility if
the City designates a zoning district that would
allow transferring certain zoning requirements
and entitlements from one block to another
within the district. This flexibility will allow
opportunities for a grocery store, additional
commercial anchor stores, and better
configurations for parking structures since
some of the blocks are very small for garage.
ZHA, Inc. identified in its 2003 report to
the CRA that there is potential in setting up
87
and attracting a new business market in
preventative medical care to Park West,
generally supported by people with greater
means, spending more than 19 billion dollars
nationally each year. These medical related
uses are not necessarily required for the 8th
Street Spine but are offered here as a unique
market potential for the area.
Preventative medical care includes health
maintenance tests and scans to make sure that
customers are healthy and for early diagnosis
of possible health problems. Tests may
include EKG (resting and treadmill), visual
acuity testing, audiogram, chest x-ray,
spirometry, non-invasive colonoscopy, blood
workup, body composition, and nutrition
counseling. Customers will have access to
over 100 specialists and may receive additional
diagnostic tests such as calcium -score heart
scan, CT lung scans, total body scan of the
heart, lungs and abdomen/pelvis, ultrasound
for carotid arteries, dental examination, skin
exams, and cosmetic surgery consultations.
Mingled with the medical services are
holistic services that include traditional
therapeutic massages, facials and body
treatments, and energy healing (Tai Chi, Yoga
and meditation classes, hands-on healing).
Urban Design Solutions
The success of this project depends on
the creation of a district of various buildings
and businesses catering to the preventative
medical market and to typical residential and
commercial markets. The physical form of this
district will not vary from the urban form for
Park West described elsewhere in this plan.
Current property owners should be
interested in this idea, because if successful, it
will provide demands for leaseable space or
land/building purchases in a unique market
for South Florida. If this is slow to
implement, conventional market demands can
provide tenants.
As in the Promenade Area and elsewhere,
the zoning regulations need to be examined
and modified, if necessary, throughout Park
West to encourage new multi -story mixed -use
buildings and parking garages. The
requirement of windows, doors, and terraces
to the existing buildings along streets will
contribute to the natural surveillance making
the environment safer. New regulations
could:
• increase the FAR and density limits, or
eliminating them all together.
• have separate FAR requirements for each
use as an incentive to get mixed used
buildings.
• allow for transfer of development
potential from one property or block to
another.
• add flexibility to setbacks and increased
greenway setbacks on certain streets
connecting major public facilities;
• swapping public and privately owned land
to move public rights -of -way from their
existing locations to new ones. For
example, 7th Street could be swapped for
land next to 8t' Street to make a larger
right-of-way that could include a
significant green way between the two
arenas.
• include a streamlined the regulatory
process and increase MUSP thresholds.
Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment
CRA:
• The CRA must first approach the
hospitals and confirm ZHA's solicitation
of the hospital's interest and the
understanding this is a hospital -related
real estate venture as part of the
regionalization of medical/health services.
• Set up a long range planning committee
devoted to finding a workable manner to
construct and recruit tenancy for the
complex. See ZHA's 2003 report for
more details regarding this committee.
• Support the City with the effort of
revising the land development regulations,
by funding the effort and/or promoting it
with the community.
88
City of Miami:
• Economic Development Initiatives: validate the
economic viability of preventative medical
uses and make recommendations to the
CRA board whether to pursue this

Townpark Village is a cooperative housing
development by HUD for low income
families. Built in 1972, these 2 and 3-story
homes consist of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom units.
Homeownership has been a major theme to
encourage redevelopment in the Overtown
community and these residents have decided
to transition from co -ownership with HUD to
private homeowners.
Projects and Strategies:
The Projects and Programs for the CRA
are organized into the following headings:
I. Community Heritage and Historic
Preservation
II. Promotion and Enhancement of
Overtown and Park West as a
Business and Investment Location
III. Planning, Development, Technical
Assistance and Program Compliance
IV. Street Improvements, Utility
Infrastructure and Transportation
V. Home Ownership Pre -Qualification
and Counseling Program
VI. Grants to Existing Business Program
VII.Laredo/Re-Use Plan (CLUC 90
Properties) Program
The ordering and numbering of these
projects are not intended to reflect a
prioritization. The programs and
programs identified here should change
over time as projects are completed and
new projects become important. Each of
the projects and programs has underneath
them check marks that illustrate which of
the goals set forth in Section 2 above they
are supporting.
I. Community Heritage and
Historic Preservation

1. Renovation of Historically Significant
Buildings
✓ # 1-#6 supports all of the goals
Overtown
The CRA proposes to build on the
historic character of the area by preserving and
revitalizing historically significant structures in
the Redevelopment Area. Projects will be
implemented following the completion of the
designation of the significant historic
structures for rehabilitation. The Black
Archives, History & Research Foundation of
South Florida, Inc.'s Master Plan identifies the
following objectives as a guide in the
redevelopment process:
• Effectively communicate information and
develop broad based awareness and
appreciation of historic achievements of
the African -American community through
exhibits, special events, tours, and the
media.
• Develop a magnet area within the target
community for the purposes of: (1) re-
establishing a special identity for Culmer-
Overtown by focusing one era in its
history, the "Little Broadway" jazz era; (2)
to establish interest in the Afro -Caribbean
heritage by encouraging tourism, trade
and cultural exchanges. Develop these
themes to attract night clubs and
restaurants; programming special cultural
events, designing signs, street furniture
and public plaza spaces; and creating
promotional literature for tourism and
local marketing.
• Preserve, where feasible, surviving
buildings which represent important links
to persons, activities or events of major
significance in the past.
• Encourage new development to
incorporate uses which would contribute
to the vitality of the district such as stores,
nightclubs, restaurants, theaters.
• Encourage new buildings to incorporate
selected design elements from the past
which reflect special cultural or thematic
feelings which are relevant today and
should be re-established.
Consideration will be given to the
preservation of all of the identified historic
buildings, wherever structural conditions and
cost of rehabilitation might be favorable.
However, recognizing that overall economic
revitalization plans for Overtown require
extensive new development, emphasis should
be placed on preservation of the following
historic structures, which are considered to be
of major importance, located within the
Redevelopment Area:
Churches
• Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW
8th Street
• Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 9th
Street
• Building which was formerly the Lyric
Church, NW 2nd Avenue and 8th Street,
and the adjacent building
• Ebenezer Methodist Church, 1042 NW
3rd Avenue
• St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd
Avenue
• St. Agnes Episcopal Church, 1750 NW 3rd
Avenue
Businesses
• X-Ray Clinic, 171 NW 9th Street
• Stirrup Building, the corner of NW 8th
Street and 3rd Avenue
• Longshoreman's Hall, NW 2nd Avenue
and NW 8th Street
• Stewart -Scott Building, NW 2nd Avenue
and NW 10th Street
• Dr. Davis' Office Building, NW 2nd
Avenue and NW 10th Street
• Judge L. E. Thomas' Office NW 2nd
Avenue and NW 10th Street
• Ward Rooming House, NW 9th Street and
NW 2nd Court
• Clyde Killens' residence & business,
corner, NW 2nd Avenue and NW 11th
91
Street
• Lyric Theatre, 819 NW 2nd Avenue
• Clyde Killens' Recreation Hall, NW 2nd
Avenue and NW 10th Street
Public Buildings
• Black Police Precinct and Courthouse,
1009 NW 5th Avenue
• Dorsey Library, 100 NW 17th Street
Residences
• Dorsey House, 250 NW 9th Street
• Killens House, corner, NW 2nd Avenue
and NW 11th Street
The City of Miami, in conjunction with
the Black Police Benevolent Association,
completely rehabilitated the former Police
Precinct located at 5th Avenue and 11th Street
in Overtown. The building hard been vacant
since 1990's and was renovated to be used as a
Black Police Museum. In addition, the facility
was designed and equipped to promote
cultural activities for and within the Overtown
community
Possible preservation strategies must be
studied for each of the above buildings
individually. Among the factors to be
considered are: ownership, need for repairs,
economic productivity, potential for new uses,
eligibility for federal tax benefits, location and
relationship to planned redevelopment sites,
potential for moving to a new site, potential
sources of funding. Buildings to be of first
priority concern because of imminent threats
of demolition, deterioration or vandalism
include:
• Stirrup Building
• Stewart -Scott Building
• Thomas Building
• Ward Rooming House (only front
remains with temporary structural
support)
• X-Ray Clinic
Buildings that should be considered for
reconstruction (due to previous demolition or
neglect) include:
• Ward Rooming House
• Cola Nip Building, formerly at 233-5 NW
9th Street
• Divine Mission Building
• Brown House
Park West
Older structures located in Park West that
have historic and cultural significance to the
overall Miami Community should be
preserved when economically feasible. Special
attention will be given to the Freedom Tower.
Properties of major architectural,
historical and/or contextual significance
include:
• 500 NE 1st Avenue, Central Baptist
Church
• 505 NE 2nd Avenue
• 521 NE 2nd Avenue
• 545 NE 2nd Avenue, Valencia (Gibson)
Hotel
• 135 NE 5th Street
• 49 NE 5th Street, Salvation Army Citadel
• 600 Biscayne Blvd., Freedom Tower
These buildings reflect the wide variety of
architectural styles common to Miami,
particularly Mediterranean Revival and frame
and masonry vernacular structures. Two of
the buildings, however, are examples of styles
unusual to Miami- Venetian Gothic (Salvation
Army Citadel) and Neo-Palladian (Central
Baptist Church). The preservation of these
structures should be included in any
redevelopment project.
2. Historic Designation
• # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
The City of Miami's Planning and Zoning
Departments have evaluated Overtown and
Park West as a possible historic district and
have determined that it is not eligible.
However, significant buildings have been
92
designated Historic or listed in the National
Register for Historic Places, or both, through
the efforts of the Planning and Zoning
Departments. The following properties have
been designated by the City of Miami as
historic sites:
• Dorsey House, 250 NW 9th Street
• X-Ray Clinic, 171 NW 9th Street
• Chapman House, 526 NW 13th Street
• Cola Nip Building, 233-5 NW 9th Street,
building demolished
• Lyric Theatre, 819 NW 2nd Avenue
• St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd
Avenue
• Ebenezer Methodist Church, 1042 NW
3rd Avenue
• Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 9th
Street
• Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW
8th Street
• St. Agnes Episcopal Church, 1750 NW 3rd
Avenue
• Black Police Precinct and Courthouse,
1009 NW 5th Avenue
• Dorsey Library, 100 NW 17th Street
The properties listed above as historic
sites may utilize the Historic Preservation
"HP" Zoning Overlay District permits, that
provide certain modification to zoning and
building code regulations where necessary to
make preservation
architecturally feasible.
economically or
The following properties have been listed
on the National Register of Historic Places:
• Dorsey House, 250 NW 9th Street
• X-Ray Clinic, 171 NW 9th Street
• Cola Nip Building, 233-5 NW 9th Street,
building demolished
• St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd
Avenue
• Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 9th
Street
• Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW
8th Street
There may come a time when more
structures will become eliigible. Should that
occur, the CRA will work with The Black
Archives, History & Research Foundation of
South Florida, Inc. and the City of Miami to
further designate properties of historic value in
the community.
3. Promote and/or Organize Activities
and Events That Recreate the Former
Vitality and Atmosphere of the
Community
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
An African-American/Caribbean theme is
recommended to recreate the feeling and
atmosphere of "Historic Overtown". The
establishment of an annual Historic Overtown
Cultural Arts Festival reminiscent of the jazz
era will provide the setting for jazz concerts to
be held within the proposed district.
The establishment of an international
cultural complex featuring activities
reminiscent of the nineteen thirties, forties,
and fifties will provide artists with the
opportunity to receive training as well as to
perform in concert.
Events that would aid in attracting people
into the community include a national
oratorical competition, hair styling contests,
tennis tournaments and other sporting events,
culinary contests specializing in soul food
from the Caribbean and Southern States, and
the establishment of a hall of fame with annual
recognition of national figures. Families from
all over the world will be encouraged to hold
annual family reunions in Miami -Dade
County, particularly in the Historic Overtown
district.
The establishment of specialty shops
which feature products of Africa, the
Caribbean and the Southern States including
restaurants, caterers, photographer's studios
specializing in passports, bookstores and art
galleries would help attract visitors to the area.
93
A "Saturday Marketplace" where vendors
are allowed to set up in a designated street
block or public plaza, featuring ethnic foods,
crafts, fresh produce, artwork, a VIP
Convention Center for local organizations
with national and international chapters, and a
permanent center to exhibit ongoing
collections unique to the black experience
would also increase the number of visitors to
the area throughout the year.
4. Provide Incentives for Revitalization
in "Historic Overtown"
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #3 Housing: Infall, Diversity, & Retaining
Affordability
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
Incentives or requirements may be
provided to attract retail stores at the ground
level on selected commercial blocks, and to
attract jazz clubs, permit -controlled street
vendors, and outdoor markets.
Special zoning incentives in the HP
Overlay Ordinance may be used for the
preservation of existing historic structures.
Design guidelines for new construction that
would encourage selected elements of historic
building forms to be incorporated into the
design of new buildings should be considered.
5. Establish a First -Class Residential
Village Containing a Cluster of
Restored Buildings — The Folklife
Vill
✓ # 1-#6age. supports all of the goals
The placement of distinctive street
furniture wherever redevelopment plans call
for new improvements to sidewalks and plaza
spaces such as paving, benches, signs, trash
cans, landscaping, etc., and the development
of landscaping standards utilizing historical
and thematic plant materials can aid in
achieving this goal. Public plaza, street,
sidewalk and park improvements should be
designed to accommodate the special cultural
events the area will attract.
As a complement to the Historic Folk
Life Village Master Pan, the CRA shall
promote public private partnerships including
partnerships with non-profit organization
and/or development entities located and
operating within "Historic Overtown" to
develop the first-class residential village in a
manner consistent with "Historic Overtown".
5a. Provide Planning, Coordination,
and Technical Assistance to the
Historic Folklife Village
Development
The Historic Folklife Village is Dade
County's proposed African American
heritage tourist destination. Plans were
proposed in 1997 and 1998 to guide the
redevelopment of the tourist site by
emphasizing reestablishment of mixed
uses. The CRA will assist The Black
Archives, History & Research Foundation
of South Florida, Inc. in providing a
detailed survey, a complete economic and
functional evaluation of all the land uses
and proposed development within the
Historic Folklife Village, and initiate any
environmental assessments in order to
assist in the efforts of developing the area.
5b. Technical Assistance to Historic
Lyric Theater Redevelopment
The Lyric Theater is a performing
arts theater that was the center of local
nightlife in its heyday. Located at NW 2nd
Ave. and NW 8th St., it is currently under
renovation by The Black Archives,
History & Research Foundation of South
Florida, Inc. Their primary objective is to
94
use the theater as a venue for cultural
programming, community meeting
facilities and an anchor for the Historic
Overtown Folklife Village. The CRA will
assist in The Black Archives, History &
Research Foundation of South Florida,
Inc.'s on -going efforts to rehabilitate the
theater and make available related support
facilities. Assistance will include a right of
way for access to back of house related
activities and potential parking.
5c. Planning, Design and,
Development of Infrastructure
Improvements in the Historic
Folklife Village
As a complement to the Historic
Folklife Village Master Plan, the CRA will
assist in providing technical assistance for
the provision of infrastructure
improvements, such as streetscape
improvements and landscaping.
5d. Planning, Design and
Development of Parking Facilities
to Support the Lyric Theater and
the Folklife Village
The CRA proposes to assist with the
development of parking facilities to
support the increasing use of the Lyric
Theater and the eventual development of
the Folklife Village.
6. Promotion of "Historic Overtown" as
a Tourist Destination
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The establishment of a Tourist
information center which would direct tourists
to attractions, restaurants, hotel
accommodations, and historical sites
throughout Miami -Dade County would serve
to mark "Historic Overtown" as a tourist
destination. The placement of historic
markers delineating historic sites (including
sites now vacant or redeveloped) and the
establishment of tours of local historical sites
including bus tours to visit sites county -wide
and mini -tours for sites within the district are
among several strategies that can be used to
generate interest.
"Historic Overtown," especially those
areas along the historic NW 2nd Avenue
corridor, should be developed in a manner to
create a tourist destination in suitable sites for
commercial/tourist/cultural uses. As suitable
sites for commercial/tourist/cultural uses
continue to diminish within "Historic
Overtown," the need to insure the economic
vitality of existing uses becomes more critical.
Therefore, economic conflicts between
existing land uses must also be viewed from a
perspective of improving and redeveloping
existing commercial/tourist/cultural uses,
where appropriate.
The strategic objectives for the promotion
of "Historic Overtown" as a tourist
destination are:
(1) increase the number of commercial and
cultural attractions, restaurant, hotel
accommodations and historical sites
offering information and memorabilia
about "Historic Overtown's" rich
heritage to visitors;
(2) increase public visitation to historical
resources within "Historic Overtown;"
provide public accessibility to cultural
events within "Historic Overtown;"
(4) increase the number of Overtown
residents and visitors benefiting from
cultural activities each year; and
coordinate with the Miami -Dade County
African -American Tourist Site Task Force
Board, and similar board, entities and
organizations to locate and develop
business opportunities for tourist
attractions within "Historic Overtown,"
especially along the NW 2nd Avenue

corridor.
7. Establishment of Artists' District by
Legislation
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA will petition for the designation
of an Artists' District for Overtown. The
Overtown area possesses a fascinating history
as a center of black culture and the focal point
of area entertainment. This legacy is still seen
in its buildings, plazas and theaters. The
establishment of an Arts District -would
capitalize on these resources by directing
future growth in a manner compatible with its
history. The establishment of legitimate
theater, writers, and artists' workshops; and
first class night clubs and restaurants should
be encouraged based on the guidelines of the
Historic district. The establishment of
manufacturing as well as other related
businesses for the arts, i.e. manufacturing and
distributing equipment and supplies for
dancing, music, art, etc. should also be
encouraged.
8. Update Housing Policy, Periodically
✓ #3 Housing: Infall, Diversity, & Retaining
Affordability
The Housing Policy should be reviewed at
least every two years. Changes will be made to
to the policy that increase, support, or
maintain affordablity in the CRA as new
outcomes are discovered by the current policy
or as issues arrise from new development in
the neighborhood.
II. Promotion and Enhancement of
Overtown and Park West as a
Business and Investment
Location
1. Seeking Public/Private Development
Opportunities
✓ # 1-#6 supports all of the goals
The CRA will search for, evaluate, and
advertise public -private development
opportunities that will utilize the land owned
by the CRA in an effort to further the goals of
the Redevelopment Plan. This may include
tasks associated with:
• coordinating with other private and
public entities for the development of
surplus real property within the CRA.
• offering land as part of public —private
2.
joint development projects.
• coordinating efforts with Miami -Dade
County to do the same.
• Request the County to redevelop the
Culmer Center to improve the facility
and help improve NW 3rd Avenue, or
seek a third party to joint venture with
the County.
• coordinating, and help facilitate in some
manner, an air conditioned garbage
location accessible by all the businesses
along the Promenade. This could be
constructed as part of a new building or
by renovating an existing one.
Management of this facility should be
taken on by one of the building
managers for collecting fees, for
example
Investigation into Hospital -related
Real Estate Ventures
#2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
#4 Job Creation
#6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
ZHA, Inc. has identified in its 2003 report
to the CRA that there is potential in setting up
and attracting a new business market in
preventative medical care to Park West,
generally supported by people with greater
96
means, spending more than 19 billion dollars
nationally each year. This is identified in
Project Area H, of this section.
The CRA will approach the hospitals and
confirm ZHA's solicitation of the hospital's
interest as a hospital -related real estate
venture, part of the regionalization of
medical/health services. If there is interest on
behalf of the City and the hospitals to pursue
this idea, the CRA will also establish long
range planning committee devoted to finding a
workable manner to construct and recruit
tenancy for the complex. See ZHA's 2003
report for more details regarding this
committee. The location for this grouping of
medical related uses may occur elsewhere than
along NE 7th or 8th Streets, provided it
remains within the CRA.
3. Establish an "Action Team for
Procurement" to enlarge the Business
Community
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
ZHA, Inc., the CRA's economic feasibility
consultants, has identified in its 2003 report to
the CRA an approach to attracting new
businesses to Overtown, with incentives and
organization.
The CRA will review the strategy and
establish an Action Team for the purpose of
attracting new businesses to Overtown. The
CRA may elect to call the committee by a
name different from "Action Team." To start,
the Action Team will focus on NW 3rd
Avenue from the Culmer Center south to NW
8th Street, the area identified in this plan as
the core of Overtown, and along NW 1st
Avenue from I-395 south to NW 5th Street,
and along 11th Street and the Promenade. The
CRA will keep the Action Team informed of
new residential projects as they are being
proposed to help in the effort to attract new
businesses.
4. Enhancement of Property
Assessments and Options to Improve
Values in the Vicinity of Camillus
House
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
Camillus House is a unique facility serving
special needs and indigent populations. This
area of the CRA is in need of special attention.
In order to promote growth along this
segment of the Biscayne Boulevard entrance
into the City of Miami, the CRA is proposing
to research and implement specific options for
spurring growth in this key segment of Park
West. Potential courses of action include
improving deterrent uses, planning
enhancements and alternatives, and stabilizing
neighborhoods.
5. Property Assessment Reevaluation
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
The property values in the CRA continue
to appear under assessed. In 1998, the City of
Miami requested that the Governor of Florida
undertake a review of the Dade County
Property Appraisal methodology and practice
of assessing property values in the City of
Miami. The practice of undervalued
assessments particularly related to commercial
property negatively impacts the incentives for
a developer to invest in the area. The CRA
proposes to continue efforts to follow up on
this request.
6. Identification, Marketing and
Negotiation of a National Franchiser
as a Pioneer Project for the Historic
Priority Business Corridor
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
97
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The creation of strategic partnerships
between franchisers and minority urban based
businesses represents a market of untapped
consumers, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Location of these businesses along the
corridor and impact area will give impetus for
the expansion and location of other
businesses. The CRA will continue its efforts
to identify, negotiate, and market the Historic
Overtown Priority Business Corridor to
potential franchisers by offering favorable
direct or indirect development incentives.
7. Planning, Design, and Development of
a Job Creation Plaza
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
In order to help create critical mass along
the Historic Priority Business Corridor, the
CRA is making plans to develop a job creation
plaza that will serve the local community and
other users. The plaza will be a pedestrian
friendly environment incorporating open
space, landscaping, a much needed plaza or
meeting area suited for passive gathering and
socializing, retail restaurants and other
businesses uses and services.
8. Development of a Professional
Business Office
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
The CRA proposes to develop a
professional office building within the Historic
Priority Business Corridor or its impact area.
If the building is constructed within the
Historic Overtown Folklife Village, it should
follow the design guidelines of the Historic
Overtown Folklife Village Master Plan.
9. Development and relocation of new
Businesses to Overtown and Park
West
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ tt'l Job Creation
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA will provide marketing and
assistance for new and compatible businesses
to relocate to Overtown and Park West.
III. Planning, Development,
Technical Assistance and
Program Compliance
1. Facilitation of the improvements
identified in each of the Project Areas
✓ # 1-#6 supports all of the goals
Efforts regarding the Project Areas, as
described elsewhere in this section, will take
precedence over other efforts being
undertaken by the CRA. The Project Areas
are:
• NW 1st Avenue
• Overtown (including Little Broadway -
Lyric Plaza)
• NW 3rd Avenue Neighborhood Center
• Historic Overtown Priority Business
Corridor
• West Overtown
• Properties facing Biscayne Boulevard
• The Promenade — Park West
Entertainment District
• NE 8th Street/Miami WorldCenter
• Camillus House/UM Research Center
• Townpark Homeownership District
2. Changes to Land Development
Regulations
✓ # 1-#6 supports all of the goals
98
The CRA will initiate the re -zoning of all
properties within the Redevelopment Area, for
reasons described in Section 3 of this
Redevelopment Plan. Tasks will include:
• Funding this initiative and promoting it
within the community
• Hold workshops and meetings with the
community and the City of Miami
Planning Department to prepare the
first draft of an ordinance for a new
zoning district or districts for properties
within the CRA.
• Revise a subsequent draft of the
ordinance.
• Provide guidance and support for the
re -zoning effort during the re -zoning
process.
3. Increase Parking Supply
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA will examine ways to increase
the supply of parking within its boundaries.
Tasks may include:
• Advocating, funding, and/or building
on -street parking spaces in any future
streetscape or redevelopment efforts
within public rights -of -way.
• Funding, and/or building off-street
parking spaces in any future
redevelopment efforts within the CRA
boundaries.
• Coordinating and facilitating efforts
with the City of Miami that support the
reform of off-street parking regulations
to reduce the unnecessary burden on
private developers. For example, to
jump-start redevelopment, new
businesses in existing buildings should
be exempt from parking requirements
to reduce their startup costs and
therefore their financial risks
4. Miscellaneous Land Acquisition
✓ # 1-#6 supports all of the goals
The CRA proposes to acquire land, as
necessary, to support the implementation of
the projects described in this Redevelopment
Plan within the Redevelopment Area.
Acquiring more land for publicly accessible
green space for active and passive recreational
use will also be a priority.
5. Support for Greenways
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA will assist, where possible, the
Trust for Public Land with implementation of
their Overtown Greenprint Plan and
Greenway Plan within the Redevelopment
Area.
6. Monitor Conditions At Public Schools
Serving Students in the
Redevelopment Area
✓ #3 Housing: Infill, Diversity, & Retaining
Affordability
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA will send an individual or small
committee to each of the public schools that
serve students that live within the
Redevelopment Area. Since the quality of
schools is often the number one factor for
chosing where to buy a house, the intention of
this project is for the CRA to help improve
the neighborhood schools where possible.
The purpose of the school visits is to look for:
• Physical improvements that can better
the appearance of the schools
• Review the performance of the students
as compared to other local, state and
national public schools
• Overcrowding or under utilization of
the facilites
The CRA will record observations and
make recommendations and requests to the
School Board. The CRA may ask the City
99
Commission to make requests to the School
Board as well. Since many of the schools
serving the CRA area are outside of the
Redevelopment Area, the CRA can only fund,
if possible, improvements to those schools
inside the boundaries.
7. Create and Design an Overlay of
Special Fencing for all CRA-owned
properties and others governmental
and non-profit institution owned
properties within its jurisdiction in
Overtown
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
Historically, public agencies that own land
maintain the properties vacant while
redevelopment occurs or is proposed and this
does not give redeveloping communities a
look that is pleasing and does not do much for
the image of the area. The CRA proposes to
create and design an overlay of special fencing
in the Bahamian, Caribbean style for all CRA
owned properties and for other properties
within its jurisdiction to transform an
otherwise challenging situation into an
opportunity to provide the Historic Business
Corridor and its impact areas with a linking
element that will provide character within a
historic framework. The fencing should be
compatible with the design parameters
specified in the Historic Overtown Folklife
Village Master Plan.
8. Technical Assistance/Liaison to
Optimist Club Activities
✓ #4 Promotion & Marketing
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA proposes to continue to provide

9. Plan Improvements of the Overtown
Parks: Gibson Park, Williams Park,
Reeves Park, Dorsey Park and Athalie
Range #1 Mini -Park
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
According to a report by the Trust for
Public Land, parks and recreational
opportunities are important to all
communities. The lack of adequate
recreational space has been an element of
contention in the studies of urban violence.
Inadequate parks ranked above unemployment
and difficulties with police amongst the most
significant problems within the inner city
neighborhoods. This realization was behind
the creation and support of the Safe
Neighborhoods Parks Bond Program.
Unfortunately, neighborhoods such as
Overtown have the least park land and the
fewest facilities with the most difficulty in
improving and maintaining the existing areas.
The CRA will coordinate efforts with the City
of Miami's Parks and Planning Departments
to provide for incentives to allow for the
creation of additional park/green space and
for the maintenance of such recreational areas.
The CRA may produce schematic designs for
facility improvements and public safety
measures within the parks.
10. Development of a "Gateway" Project
into the Omni and the
Overtown/Park West Areas
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
The CRA proposes to study and evaluate
the potential of entry features for the
entrances into the Omni Area at the I-395 exit,
11th Street and Biscayne Boulevard and into
the Southeast Overtown Area at NW 14th St.
and connections with I-395, I-95, and NW 3rd
Ave., at NW 3rd Ave and NW 8th StSt. and at
NW 4th Ave. and NW 8th St. Specific entry
features for the Park West Area will also be
determined. Entry features for Overtown
100
should be in accordance with the Historic
Overtown Folklife Village Master Plan.
Efforts to be coordinated with the Trust for
Public Land in implementing their
Greenway/Greenprint Plan, and with The
Black Archives, History & Research
Foundation of South Florida, Inc., Overtown
Civic Partnership and the City of Miami in
implementing these gateways and preserving
the historic context of the area.
11. Update the Housing Policy
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community

The CRA will adopt a new housing policy
and will update it periodically as changes occur
in the market places and as property values
shift from time to time.

The CRA will meet with developers of
projects within the Redevelopment Area prior
to their permit application submissions to the
City. The purpose of the meeting is for the
CRA to encourage and negotiate for as much
affordable housing as possible in each new
developemnt. The CRA will not offer
assistance of any kind to developers unless the
developers comply with the CRA's Housing
Policy.

Streetscape Projects
# 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
#5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community
#6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA has begun or completed
streetscape design and construction in a few of
the Project Areas. The CRA will continue the
efforts to conclude those projects that have
not begun or been completed. The
streetscape projects include:
1. 9th Street Pedestrian Mall
2. The Promenade (between 10th and 11th
Streets)
3. NW 3rd Avenue (south of I-395) for the
Historic Priority Business Corridor
4. NW3rd Avenue (north of I-395)
5. NE/NW 11th Street (Entertainment
District)
6. NW 1st Avenue
Additional streetscape projects may be
included in the future. Related tasks may
include
• regular maintenance of lighting, street
furniture, landscaping, and paving
materials.
• acquiring the services of engineers or
landscape architects.
• Discussions FEC and Miami -Dade
County Public Works to change the
configuration of NW 1st Avenue. This
Avenue has historically been the divider
between Overtown and Park West, and
the redesign is needed to make it the
unifier.
2. Coordination of Infrastructure
Improvements with City of Miami and
Miami Public Works Departments,
Miami Dade Water and Sewer
Department, FDOT, Miami Parking
Authority and Other Relevant
Agencies
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
101
CRA efforts are concentrated on planning
infrastructure improvements in the
Redevelopment Area, such as street
improvements, landscaping, lighting, parking
and pedestrian amenities, and enhancements.
Coordination with local and state agencies
responsible for
implementing these
infrastructure improvements, as well as private
developers and community members,
becomes paramount to set priorities,
coordinate and avoid duplication of efforts,
and find new avenues to pursue resources.
Tasks may include:
• Upgrades to water mains and sewer
mains, by implementing actual
reconstruction or by subsidizing the
upgrades performing others.
• Collaborating with the MPO to return
one-way streets back into two-way
streets.
• Improving pedestrian features such as
crosswalks that are more visible to
motorists or securing easements or
access for pedestrian routes separated
from the roadways.
• Influencing the decision to subdivide
larger blocks into smaller ones with the
creation of new streets.
• Increasing public on -street parking in
rights -of -way.
• Assisting with solutions to any noise,
access, and privacy problems associated
with properties along the rail and transit
routes
• Assisting in the decision making
process of possible changes to I-395
and I-95 as the MPO continues its
study and discussion regarding the
removal or reconfiguration of those two
federal highways.
3. Pedestrian Compatible Community
Transit System
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA will review, and act accordingly
towards the work of Thomas Gustafson and
Nova Southeastern University related to the
development of a pedestrian compatible
community transit system to link all Southeast
Overtown, Park West, and the nearby Central
Business District and Omni areas, as described
in the Miami at Midnight report. The Report
also describes the possibility of a large
pedestrian zone adjacent to the
Overtown/Arena Metrorail Station to enhance
intermodal transfers.
4. Pilot Infrastructure Improvement and
Maintenance Program
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #4 Job Creation
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA will establish for Overtown and
Park West a pilot street cleaning, sweeping
program and a grass cutting program,
primarily for security reasons, for the areas of
the CRA and maintain a closer coordination
with existing property owners and the
Downtown Development Authority, and the
City of Miami
5. Plan, Coordinate, and Design Special
Lighting; Security District (Pedestrian
Enhancements)
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart
Growth Principles
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
Security is an important issue in the area.
The CRA proposes to provide pedestrian
enhancements, special lighting, and create a
more pedestrian friendly atmosphere in the
Redevelopment Area by developing and
implementing a Security and Lighting District
and a Police Enhancement Program, including
the Entertainment District, the 9th Street
Pedestrian Mall, and Sawyers Walk. Within
the Historic Overtown Folklife Village,
lighting should be consistant with the
character identified in the Historic Folklife
102
Village Master Plan.

The CRA will coordinate efforts with the
City of Miami, local real estate organizations,
mortgage lenders and community bankers,
community development corporations, faith -
based institutions, consumer advocates, and
residents to implement a home ownership pre -
qualification and counseling program which
will provide homeownership training sessions,
market public sector assistance programs, and
assist in pre -qualifying home buyers. Services
will be accessible to existing Overtown
residents. The program is intended to provide
basic financial literacy training, job training,
education and other supportive services for
people with extremely low incomes that can
not qualify for home ownership.
VI. Grants to Existing Businesses
✓ # 1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community
Heritage
✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart

✓ tt4 Job Creation
✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents
The CRA proposes to assist in creating
jobs by providing technical assistance with
Section 108 loan applications and
administering a revolving loan pool, which will
make low interest, low downpayment, long
terms loans in the amount of $25,000 to $1
million for business improvement projects to
area businesses. Tasks may include:
• facilitating grants,
• technical assistance to business owners,
• architectural and design services for

Capital Improvement Costs and Timeline
This section identifies the primary capital
improvements, their costs, and timeframe for
implementation. It is not the intent of this
section to serve as an implementation plan or
as an operations budget. The CRA has an
independent operation strategy and budget
that will identify capital improvements among
its other projects and expenses. The known
and desired capital projects listed in this plan
are prioritized. It should be expected that this
section will become obsolete over time as
projects get completed and new ones become
important to the community, which is the
reason for a separate budget strategy.
Capital Improvement Goals
The goals for making capital
improvements within the Redevelopment Area
are:
1)
Eradicate the visual blight seen from
streets and public places within the
CRA to upgrade the appearance to
attract new
development.
investors and
2) Protect the health and safety of the
residents by improving the
performance of the City's
infrastructure systems.
3) Remove or diminish negative impacts
108
Introduction caused by existing or inadequate
infrastructure.
Prioritizing Capital
Improvements
The approach to prioritizing improvement
projects focuses on key Project Areas
described in Section 4. These Project Areas
are characteristically unique and show the
greatest potential for immediate positive
change.
Place Corridors
The Project Areas set forth in Section 4
do not encompass the entire Redevelopment
Area, but when started, should attract interest
in the community and spark additional private
investment within the Redevelopment Area.
The idea behind concentrating efforts in small
areas is to totally transform them, creating as
dramatic and visible an impact as possible.
When money is spent evenly throughout the
entire CRA, it is difficult to see where the
money has gone. By focusing the efforts,
people will see what the larger area will be like
as revitalization spreads, inspiring additional
private reinvestment.
First Priority should go towards efforts
within the Project Areas. The CRA Board will
decide if certain projects rank higher than
others, as they will with their 5-year
improvement plan.
Areas outside of the Project Areas may
need improvements too, such as water and
sewer upgrades, parking structures and parking
shuttles. These will be evaluated as to their
impact on furthering the efforts in the specific
Project Areas.
Potential Funding Sources
It is important for the CRA staff to
coordinate with the City and County staff to
leverage or match tax increment funds with
Federal, State, and locally available funds.
Sources include but should not be limited to:
• Capital programs for the City, County
or other local governmental entities.
• Community Development Block
Grants.
• Federal, State, and local Transportation
Trust Funds
• People's Transportation Plan funded
through the local option half -penny
sales tax and overseen by the Citizens
Independent Transportation Trust.
• Federal, State, and Local Park Funds.
• Partnerships with educational
institutions.
• New Market Tax Credits
109
Capital Improvement Costs by
Project Area
Each Project Area has improvements
itemized as:
1. Streetscape Improvements
Streetscape improvement estimates
include costs associated with pavement, curbs,
sidewalks, concrete pavers, drainage,
landscaping, utilities, signage, and pavement
markings. The construction costs were
prepared from information in the Draft
Report for the Southeast Overtown / Park
West Redevelopment Plan dated September
2003. The costs exclude structures and any
right of way acquisition.
2. Water Main
Water Main estimates include costs for
upgrading underground mains that provide
water service to the properties. Hookup fees
are not included.
3. Sewer
Sewer estimates include costs for
upgrading underground sewer pipes that
provide solid waste disposal from adjacent
properties. Hookup fees are not included.
4. Projects budgeted for FY 2003-2004
Projects budgeted for the Fiscal Year
2003 — 2004 have been added to the Project
Area they serve. Some currently budgeted
projects affect multiple project areas and are
listed under the category of "Other Capital
Improvements."
Capital Improvements by Project Area
Project A - NW 1" Avenue
Overall Priority: Medium
The visual nature of the street needs
improvement since the railroad right-of-way is
rather unsightly. This avenue can become a
linear park (with transit & rail) with similar
buildings and uses on both sides of the track,
so that the two areas become more unified in
character.
First Steps — High Priority
Discussion should begin immediately with
FEC to find out their intentions for the right-
of-way and to find the possibility of modifying
the roadways on both sides as described in this
plan, which will require acquisition of portions
of the right-of-way.
Project F - Biscayne Boulevard
No items are listed for Biscayne
Boulevard because improvements within the
right-of-way are part of current projects in the
planning stage by the Florida Department of
Transportation.

Project G - The Promenade
Overall Priority: High
The Promenade occupies the former
municipal railroad right-of-way owned by the
CRA in the burgeoning Entertainment
District. The CRA will reinforce its previous
investments in the neighborhood by focusing
its attention here to get results. Additional
parking, shuttles to distant parking locations,
and changes to the land development
regulations are urgently needed to support the
recently renovated businesses on NE 11th
Street.

Residential Uses and the Neighborhood
Impact of Redevelopment elopment
Neighborhood Overview
The Redevelopment Area has a wide
range of land uses because of its proximity to
the Central Business District.
Park West, the eastern part of the
Redevelopment Area, predominantly has old
warehouses that once contained businesses
that relied on the proximity of the Port of
Miami, when it was located at what is now
Bicentennial Park. Park West is now home to
one sports stadiums - American Airlines Arena
(Miami Arena — demolished in September
2008), the Network Access Point (NAP)
facility that provides computer data storage
related services, three large residential towers,
an expansion of the Wolfson Campus of
Miami -Dade Community College, and several
new nightclubs catering to the "after hours"
market.
The majority of the existing residents in
Park West resides in the three towers located
on NW 1st Avenue near the former Miami
Arena site, while four new luxury mixed -use
residential towers were development during
the recent real estate boom from 2003-2007.
This represents a potential increase in new
middle to upper income residents to the Park
West area but the recent recession, occupancy
of these edifices will proves to be a challenge
for the next 2-5 years. The Southeast
121
Overtown residents reside in largely low-rise,
older rental development scattered throughout
the community. There is a large homeless
population and an outdated homeless feeding
facility in Park West that the City of Miami is
in the process of providing assistance in
relocating. The existing population in
Southeast Overtown is considerably younger
and poorer than the City of Miami and Miami -
Dade County as a whole, and reflects a slightly
higher median household size. The existing
households in Southeast Overtown are more
likely to be headed by single head of
household than the City of Miami as a whole.
Unemployment rates in the community are
also higher than the rates for the City and
County.
Overtown is comprised of small
neighborhood businesses, churches, single
family homes and apartment buildings, with
the latter being the most dominant.
According to ZHA's 2003 Economic
Programming Study, a review of the 1990 and
2000 US Census and Claritas market research
service data shows that homeownership is very
low in Overtown, about 10%. This low
homeownership rate is a reflection of the low
household incomes in the community and the
lack of affordable homeownership
development in the community. For
comparison, the City of Miami as a whole has
about 35% of its residential units owner
occupied. In 2002, almost 50 percent of
Overtown's households earned less than
$15,000 per year. The population of the CRA
area has increased by 2.9% between 1990
(6,599) and 2000 (6,792).
The following are residential
characteristics in surrounding areas:
• Northeast of the Redevelopment Area is
the Omni Redevelopment Area. The
Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing
Arts of Miami -Dade County ("PAC") was
completed in 2006 and serves as a catalyst
to draw new people, businesses and
residents into that area. North of the
PAC between Biscayne Boulevard and
Biscayne Bay are several new multi -family
residential towers under construction
and/or recently completed.
• North of the Redevelopment Area, the
conditions are similar to Overtown.
Redevelopment efforts within the
Redevelopment Area can only have a
positive effect on its northern neighbors.
• Southwest
and West of the
Redevelopment Area is the Miami River
and the Spring Garden neighborhood.
The river has mostly industrial uses, but
future loft style apartments and mixed use
developments have been advertised on
signs posted at various properties. Spring
Garden is a stable residential
neighborhood primarily of single family
homes, separated from western Overtown
by the Seybold canal.
• To the south is the Central Business
District with mostly government related
buildings on the southern edge of the
Redevelopment Area.
• Northwest of the Redevelopment Area is
the hospital area comprised of several
hospitals, doctors' offices, and related
businesses and research facilities.
• To the East are properties facing Biscayne
Bay, including Bicentennial Park and the
American Airlines Arena. Two museums
are anticipated for Bicentennial Park, (to
be renamed "Museum Park").
Housing Policy
The following items constitute the CRA's
Policy toward Housing, both market rate and
affordable:
1) The CRA will only endorse, support,
encourage, assist or initiate housing
initiatives that will do their part to:
a) Improve living conditions for all
residents of the neighborhoods
b) Incorporate a variety of housing
options and serve a range of incomes
122
c) Includes design features and
considerations that contribute to the
livability of the community
d) Furthers the development of
"workforce" housing through
partnerships with employers located
in and surrounding the community,
including the use of Employer
Assisted Housing models
2) A goal for the level of affordable housing
that should be made available in the
Redevelopment Area of, at least, 20% of
any new development or rehabilitation of
existing housing stock, to be periodically
reviewed for results.
3) Affordability can be achieved by:
a) Working with both non-profit and
for -profit developers to help them
find redevelopment opportunities and
to assist with overcoming obstacles
they may encounter.
b) Developing and supporting programs
that will assist in the development of
housing that is affordable to lower -
income families by providing
developer incentives such as density
bonuses, parking concessions and
project subsidies.
c) Establish inclusionary zoning
[proposed Miami21] policies that will
require a percentage of the units in all
new rental and homeownership
developments to be affordable to low
and very low-income families, with
best efforts being made to serve
existing Overtown residents.
d) Assisting developers, who provide
rental housing serving families,
including seniors, earning below 50%
of the area median income, to secure
project based assistance for those
units.
e) Ensuring that existing supportive
housing is better integrated into the
community, and expanding
supportive housing models to address
the unmet needs of existing residents.
f) Ensuring adequate funding of and
access to mortgage subsidy programs
for existing families who seek
homeownership opportunities in the
community.
Relocation Policy
As stated in this Redevelopment Plan's
Housing Policy, it is the CRA's goal and intent
to retain, improve and increase the housing
stock in the Redevelopment Area and not to
replace it with a non-residential use.
In the future, if any unforeseen
redevelopment project involving the CRA
requires the involuntarily displacement of
anyone from either a rented or owned housing
unit, the project proposal must contain a
Project Relocation Plan which adheres to all
applicable laws and regulations. The Project
Relocation Plan must be approved by the
CRA Board in a publicly noticed CRA Board
meeting prior to any final approval of the
project.
If any future projects were to require
relocation and CRA funding were to be
"partnered" with Federal funds, the CRA shall
make it a condition of its participation that all
provisions of the Uniform Relocation
Assistance Act are met. This strategy adheres
to the requirements of Chapters 163 and 421,
Florida Statues.
Through the Housing Policy and
Relocation Policy described in this
Redevelopment Plan, the existing residents
within the Redevelopment Area who may be
temporarily or permanently displaced as a
result of redevelopment activities directly
supported by the CRA will have access to safe,
sanitary and decent replacement housing.
Traffic Circulation
The network of streets within the
Redevelopment Area is the typical Miami
"grid." The older portions of Overtown have
smaller blocks. The I-95 and I-395 Highways
123
have created some real and psychological
barriers; however there are several locations
where the city streets pass under or over the
highway. The FEC Railroad, which runs along
NW 1st Avenue, interrupts circulation for
both pedestrians and motorists in several
locations.
For this Redevelopment Plan's proposed
traffic changes, see Section 3, Hypothetical
Build -out Plan: "Transportation System:
Mobility and Access." The primary change
proposed is returning many of the streets from
a one-way configuration back to two-way
streets. The current conditions appear to
make it easy for visitors to enter Overtown,
but confusing to leave. The current roadways
should handle the projected increase in
residential units, since the same city streets
accommodated a former population of 40,000
in 1960. The population in 2000 was 6,792, an
increase from 6,599 in 1990. Also, public
transit serves Overtown rather well, which did
not exist in 1960.
Further community transit and transit
access improvements will be explored related
to Airport to Sea Port Metrorail linkages
through the Overtown/Arena Station and
other possible livable community intermodal
system improvements.
FDOT is proposing changes for the Port
of Miami traffic, which will include
modifications to NE/NW 5th and 6th Streets
to have three travel lanes in each direction,
and additional ramps on to I-95 for
northbound traffic, and traffic westbound on
SR836, The Dolphin Expressway. This
project was recently rejected by the MPO so
efforts to determine new alternatives should
be undertaken.
Transportation capacity is controlled by
the downtown's DRI agreement
(Development of Regional Impact). The local
circulation is addressed on a project by project
basis in the Major Use Special Permits
(MUSP).
Environmental Quality
Redevelopment will
environmental quality due
provisions in the City's building
improve
to existing
permit
process. Miami -Dade County's Department
of Environmental Resource Management
reviews all new construction permits to insure
health standards are followed. Asbestos
testing is required for existing buildings that
are to undergo renovation. The County's
Health Department must also approve any
water and sewer changes, restaurants,
hospitals, clinics, and schools.
Miami Dade Water and Sewer
Department ("M-DWASD") provides water
and sewage services and runoff drainage for
the Redevelopment Area. M-DWASD has
upgraded their standards which means that
nearly all new construction and renovations
within the Redevelopment Area will require
upgrades to the water service lines, given the
age and smaller diameter of the existing water
lines.
Locations of concern within the
Redevelopment Area are those locations that
once had industrial uses and gas stations,
which are primarily in Park West, along the
FEC railroad tracks, and along NW 7th
Avenue.
Effect on School Population
In 2000, the population of the
Redevelopment Area was 3,904. The average
household size in the 2000 Census for Miami -
Dade County was 2.90, which means there are
approximately 1,347 households. Using
Miami -Dade County Public School's five -step
School Impact Review Analysis Process, this
suggests that there are currently
approximately:
• 238 school children enrolled in elementary
school;
• 130 school children enrolled in middle
school; and
• 151 school children enrolled in high
school.
• 519 total students (estimated)
124
Since the projected population growth for
the Redevelopment Area is difficult to
estimate given the large development
potential, two scenarios were calculated using
the School Impact Review Analysis Process
(see Section 10, Appendix C). Based on this
analysis, substantial numbers of new residents
will require the construction of new schools or
major additions to existing ones. If every
property in the Redevelopment Area was built
out to its maximum potential, with current
zoning, Miami -Dade Public Schools will need
to double the size of Booker T. Washington
High School and add multiple middle and
elementary schools
Currently with the low utilization of the
one high school serving the neighborhood,
2000 to 3000 more residential units can be
added to the school district and stay within
capacity limits. That is not true for the middle
and elementary schools. The two middle
schools serving the area are both currently
overcrowded. The elementary schools are
currently underutilized but new development
generates more students at the elementary
level.
The analysis only took into account the
public schools, not charter schools. The
student population in the charter schools can
come from outside the Redevelopment Area
and Miami -Dade County Public Schools does
not factor them into their formulas. Factors
that can affect the projections of the school
impact analysis:
1) Increases in zoning causing additional
residential units beyond existing
zoning.
2) A lowering of the student drop -out
rate, primarily affecting the high
school level.
3) A large percentage of new residents
sending their children to charter or
private schools.
Miami -Dade County Public Schools is
assessing their facilities and the number of
students since Florida voters passed a
referendum in 2002 requiring a mandatory
classroom size reduction in public schools.
The deadline for this is the 2008-9 school year.
In 2008, Miami Dade County Public Schools
implemented a school concurrency system
which allows them to receive information
from the all local municipalities to determine
the amount of future growth a community can
anticipated based on new/proposed
development or redevelopment.. This will
also impact the students living in the
Redevelopment Area.

Physical and Social Quality
Until recently, Park West and Overtown
have been overlooked as a desirable place to
live and work. With the attraction of the Park
West Entertainment District during evening
and early morning hours, and with the
anticipated spill -over effect of the Performing
Arts Center, expansion of the Historic Lyric
Theater, and new proposed market rate and
affordable housing, the physical character of
the Redevelopment Area is about to change.
Recent projects from the CRA have been
geared toward beautification of the public
rights -of -way with sidewalk improvements and
tree planting.
The CRA has identified that new zoning
regulations are needed with design guidelines.
The intention of the design guidelines is to
ensure that both publicly and privately
constructed buildings are attractive and
support the need for pedestrian access,
comfort, and safety.
Proposed new developments at the time
of writing this amendment all provide a mix of
uses including residential, making it possible to
live and work within walking distance or
transit.
The greatest asset of this community is its
location. The Central Business District is
within walking distance, it is served by public
transit, and it is centrally located in Miami -
Dade County.

financial and technical assistance, the CRA
shall recommend to the City of Miami that
eminent domain proceedings commence.

Appendices
Appendix A
Previous Planning Work for
the area
1973
Urban Development and Zoning Plan.
This report recommended redevelopment of
the area north of the port access road to I-395
between N.W. 1" Avenue and Biscayne
Boulevard, later designated as Park West. This
recommendation was incorporated within the
MCNP in 1976.
1976
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
4MCNP)
A Comprehensive Plan is required by the State
of Florida for every municipality. Miami's
Comprehensive Plan provides the framework
for the overall development of the City of
Miami. This plan is periodically updated and
continues to guide the City's decisions. In
1976 Development opportunities were
identified for the CRA area within this
document including the establishment of an
in -town residential community and
redevelopment opportunities made possible by
the expanded transit system.
142
1979 -1980
Overtown Redevelopment Plan
Prepared by the City of Miami Planning and
Zoning Department with extensive citizen
review, this plan was for the larger Overtown
community, not just the CRA boundaries.
This plan was adopted by both the City of
Miami and Miami -Dade County. Portions of
this plan that referred to Southeast Overtown
were incorporated into the original SEOPW
Community Redevelopment Plan.
1979-1981
Miami Park West, A Redevelopment Program
for Downtown Miami
Prepared by Wallace, Roberts and Todd
(WRT), American Cities Corporation, and
Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Douglas, this
plan called for land purchase of a 16-block
area, extensive clearance and redevelopment
of the industrial area into a residential and
commercial community. The focal point of
the plan was a large linear green space linking
Overtown to Bicentennial Park. This plan was
incorporated into the 1982 SEOPW
Community Redevelopment Plan.
1981-82
SEOPW Community Redevelopment Plan
Prepared by the City of Miami Planning and
Zoning Department, this plan stated to the
State of Florida the need for a Community
Redevelopment Agency, and specified projects
and operations for the CRA. Although the
plan was modified over the following few
years, it is now out of date, which has led to
the Community Redevelopment Plan to which
this appendix is attached. The 1982
redevelopment plan was reviewed and
modified over a six-month period by the
Southeast Overtown/Park West Ad Hoc
Committee that included representatives of
the Overtown and Park West communities
and provided a forum for community
concerns.
1986-87
Omni Area Redevelopment Plan, September
1986
Prepared by the City of Miami Planning
Department, this is the Community
Redevelopment Plan for the Omni Area CRA.
August 1984
Design Standards and Guidelines for the
Southeast Overtown / Park West
Redevelopment Project
This document was prepared by the
Downtown Development Authority for the
SEOPW CRA. These standards contain many
common sense practices for treating pavement
and landscaping on public streets. The
guidelines however reinforce a plan that is
heavily dependent upon a wide landscaped
pedestrian mall, an idea since widely
discredited nationally. The small segment of
the pedestrian mall that was constructed on
NW 9th Street in the late 1980's has already
been re -opened to traffic.
February 1989
The Historic Overtown Folklife Village,
Master Plan / Urban Design Guidelines.
This plan and accompanying guidelines were
prepared for the Black Archives, History and
Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc. by
Ronald E. Frazier & Associates. The plan
surveys a three block area of historic buildings
and offers architectural guidelines for
buildings.
1989
Downtown Miami Master Plan 1989
This document was prepared by the City of
Miami Department of Planning, Building, &
Zoning and the Downtown Development
Authority. This plan was officially adopted by
the City Commission in 1989 and continues to
guide decision making for the downtown.
May 1997
143
Master Plan for Historic Overtown Folklife
Village, May 1997.
This plan was prepared by Duany, Plater-
Zyberk & Company as an update to the 1989
plan for the Black Archives. It offers new
implementation strategies for the previous
plan.
1998
NW 3rd Avenue Priority Business Corridor.
This document prepared by Bermello-Ajamil
& Partners, Inc for the SEOPW CRA
examines the physical existing conditions
along this historic commercial corridor.
Recommendations are also included to
stimulate business.
September 1999
City of Miami Community Redevelopment
Agency, Fiscal Year 2000 and 5-Year Plan
2000-2004, Budgeted Projects and Programs
Prepared by the SEOPW CRA, this document
lays out the current five-year plan of programs
and expenditures. Projects and programs
from this document have been included in the
SEOPW Community Redevelopment Plan.
March 2000
Overtown, Redevelopment Area Design
Charrette Report
This document was prepared by Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council and
produced through a grant from the Florida
Department of Community Affairs to the
South Florida Regional Planning Council for
Eastward Ho initiatives. SFRPC brought in
the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
to provide a community design charrette
workshop and produce a detailed plan for all
of Overtown. Many local architects and
planners participated along with local property
owners and residents. The plan showed how
the community can redevelop over time with
small incremental improvements and
reinvestment, unlike typical grand schemes.
Unfortunately the plan failed to capture the
excitement needed in the investment
community and official circles, and is
perceived by some members of the
community as the latest in a string of broken
promises.
March 2000
Housing Needs and Potential of the
Overtown / Park West Area
This document was prepared by Reinhold P.
Wolff Economic Research, Inc. for South
Florida Partnership Office Fannie Mae. It is a
market housing study.
Spring 2000
History of the City of Miami a brief summary
of its past in pictures, maps and writings
This was prepared by students at the
University of Miami School of Architecture
under the directions of professors Allan
Shulman and Adolfo Albaisa. This is not a
planning document but rather a summary
showing how Downtown Miami has changed
over the years.
2002
Miami River Corridor Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Plan This document was
prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc
for the Miami River Commission, City of
Miami and Miami -Dade County.
2002
Park West Club District Streetscape Master
Plan. This plan was prepared by Wallace
Roberts & Todd for the CRA. It identifies

Appendix C
School Impact Analysis for
the CRA Redevelopment
Plan
This Impact Analysis has been performed
to examine the impact of the CRA
Community Redevelopment Plan on the
public school system in Miami -Dade County.
This analysis is projecting a total
redevelopment of all properties within the
Redevelopment Area as if almost all of the
area were to be built out today using the
current zoning code. This scenario is not
likely to occur because the eventual
redevelopment will happen gradually over a
long time, and many of the existing structures
will remain. However, this is the best
approach to examine possible problems that
can be avoided over the next few years as
properties do get redeveloped.
Approach:
Each City block within the
Redevelopment Area was numbered. (See
attached map) The zoning for each block was
cross-referenced. A spreadsheet was
generated that lists each block, corresponding
146
gross square footages, and the maximum
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for each zoning
district. The spreadsheet generates the
approximate number of dwelling units with
the assumption that the average apartment size
is 1,250 square feet of space. This dwelling
unit size is from a recent analysis by a
developer for a project in Overtown. The
columns on the right of the spreadsheet
separate out the number of possible dwelling
units that occur in each of the school districts
provided by Miami -Dade County Public
Schools ("M-DCPS"). There is one high
school that serves the Redevelopment Area,
two middle schools, and three elementary
schools.
A second scenario:
While examining the FAR, it became
apparent that a developer could build smaller
units and stay within the maximum density
allowed in each zoning district. Therefore a
second spreadsheet was prepared that removes
the FAR limitations and estimates the possible
number of units using the maximum density
allowed. The SD-6, and SD-16 zones do not
specify a maximum density, so for those areas
we used the first scenario (with FAR) to
estimate the number of units on those blocks.
This second scenario suggests that more
dwelling units are possible if the controlling
factor becomes the maximum density instead
of the FAR. There was no analysis prepared
to determine if a developer could maximize
the density within the FAR limitations.
Findings:
Using M-DCPS's equations to estimate
the number of students for each school, the
new capacity is compared with the existing
capacity as reported in M-DCPS's Region IV
FISH Design Capacity (Permanent +
Relocatable). The comparison suggests the
following:
Booker T. Washington High School:
Scenario 1 reveals 3,060 new high school
students would be added to the neighborhood,
putting the high school at 202% of its current
capacity. This reveals that another high school
of a similar size would need to be added, or
the school would need to double its current
student capacity, by renovation or additions to
the existing school. Scenario 2 reveals 6,278
new high school students, requiring much
more capacity. Booker T. Washington HS is
presently under utilized. It can accommodate
approximately 1,000 additional students before
exceeding M-DCPS's acceptable threshold of
115%.
Citrus Grove Middle School:
Only a small portion of the Redevelopment
Area lies within the Citrus Grove Middle
School district. Scenario 1 (by FAR) reveals
35 new middle school students could be added
to the school. Scenario 2 (by maximum
density) reveals 150 new middle school
students. Without any new students, Citrus
Grove currently has a capacity problem at
151% utilization. More capacity is currently
needed at Citrus Grove Middle School. The
utilization becomes a concern to the School
Board when it increases above 115%.
Jose de Diego Middle School:
The majority of the Redevelopment Area
lies within the Jose de Diego Middle School
district. Scenario 1 reveals 2,603 new middle
school students could be added to the
neighborhood. Scenario 2 reveals 5,318 new
middle school students. This is a significant
number of new students. Without any new
students, Jose de Diego currently has a slight
capacity problem at 119% utilization. Scenario
1 creates a capacity utilization of 342% and
Scenario 2 creates it at 575%. Jose de Diego
Middle School needs to be increased in size
immediately for more capacity. Another
middle school should be planned now if it
isn't already.
147
Paul Dunbar Elementary School:
Only a small portion of the
Redevelopment Area lies within the Paul
Dunbar Elementary School district. Scenario
1 reveals 129 new elementary school students
could be added to the school. Scenario 2
reveals 451 new elementary school students.
It appears that new development within the
Redevelopment Area will cause minimal
capacity problems at Paul Dunbar Elementary
School. With 451 new students from the
unlikely Scenario 2, the capacity is at 119%
utilization.
Phillis Wheatley Elementary School:
Scenario 1 reveals 925 new elementary
school students could be added to the school.
Scenario 2 reveals 1,768 new elementary
school students. There appears to be no
capacity problems at Phillis Wheatley
Elementary School.
Scenario 1 reveals 925 new elementary
school students would be added to the Phillis
Wheatley Elementary school district, putting
the school at 209% of its current capacity of
655 students. This reveals that another
elementary school of a similar size would need
to be added, or the school would need to
more than double its current student capacity.
Scenario 2 reveals 1,768 new elementary
school students. If this much redevelopment
were to occur, an additional Elementary
School will be needed for the neighborhood.
Phillis Wheatley Elementary is presently under
utilized. It can accommodate approximately
310 additional students before exceeding M-
DCPS's acceptable threshold of 115%.
Frederick Douglass Elementary School:
A greater portion of the Redevelopment
Area lies within the Frederick Douglass
Elementary School district. Scenario 1 reveals
3,800 new elementary school students could
be added to the school. Scenario 2 reveals
7,841 new elementary school students. Most
of these new students would be living in Park
West, where the development potential is very
large. If Park West develops in a manner
similar to Brickell Avenue, many of the
households will then be part-time residents,
professionals without children, or parents who
send their children to charter schools or
private schools. If this is the case, then the
actual number of students for public schools
will be reduced from the projected amount in
this study. With both scenario projections,
additional elementary schools will be needed
in the neighborhood. Frederick Douglass
Elementary can accommodate approximately
414 additional students before exceeding M-
DCPS's acceptable threshold of 115%.
This Redevelopment Plan was prepared by Dover,
Kohl & Partners in, October 2003, and updated by
the City of Miami's Planning Department in May
2009.

SLUM AND BLIGHT CONDITION'S
PROPOSED EXPANSION AREA
_el: iDfS .7 Board during it5
delibero.tc 7he ........ 7-: 711e existing
redevelopment dis
BACKGROUND
:n 1969. the Board of Count.: ::::.ners approved. by Resolution
11--69 the Central yj R 1ev.i=.1.7.n.. This plan included the area Eouth. of
NW Twent-Yirti.'i:et, west of the FEC Railroad, wIth an extension to
N.E. Second Avenue: east of 1-95; aid north of the fiaca ?dyer. It was
amended or January 20, 1981 to include the areas bounded on the west and
south by the FEC tranks on the east by Biscayne Boulevard.; and on the north
by I-395. In addition, the area bounded on the south by I-3 on the east bY
Biscayne Bouleyard; on the north by NW Seyenteen. Street in part, and. the
City of Difianii. Ceirieteiy in part; and on the west by the FEC tracks_
At those public hearings, evidence IEVIE Fu:esented to find this area meeting
the ,definition of "slum and blight:'.
Th importance of that decision is that the plopose-d expan.sion area located
north of I-395 and fronting on NW Third Stre-et, extending north to NW
Twent w Second. Street was declared through resolution of the County
Commission as "shun.) and blight". r. area F� 1 _ Additionally, Areas B and C of
the proposed expansion, were part of the Central Piaflii Urban P' itea a1 Area
graphic provided for illustration purposes at the hearing of January 20, 1981,..
when the expansion was approved.
PROPOSED AREA A. These properties ace located within the rights of
a.3r of 1-393 and 1-93. They were not included in the description of either of
the eMis ting cede-elkprl-_ent districts. These properties are presently .in a state of
disrepair, and to leave them out of the districts simply creates a ribbon of
neglected properties separating them. These properties meet the eriteila to be
classified as "shun a:ld
PROPOSED AREAA-1. The general 'boundaries of this area are: on the
south and west: the I-395 Right of Way; on the :forth NW 1411'_ Street Loin 1-
3 9'5 to North Mianai. Avenue, and NW 136'. Street_ from North fiarri; t3-ei�xtie
to North East 3dia>t Court; and on the east North East Miami Court.
This area is party in the existing Oinni Rede7. elopLeiit Dist ict: therefore
there is no need to make a 'slum and blight" finding. The portion that is not in
the Criuii Redevelopment District is in state of disrepair, and it c o:1ra :1s a
iv,miber of vacancies that present serious limitations for redevelopment. It is
important to consider this area in connection with the SE013\17 Redevelopment
District 'because of its list al relationship and continuity under the ex rresxwar.
PROPOSED AREA A 2, This 3Lrea is bounded general.- on the north and
east b the I-95 Fight of Way; on the west by NW Fifth_ sirerlr-e: and of the
south by N77 Tenth Street.
Two of the three properties are owned brc the City. and the other one is a
decrepit structure, .which Heeds major work or demolition.
The percentage of vacant land and dilapidated structures qualifies the area
as "shim s.ntl
PROPOSED AREA A-3, Bicentennial park is presently vacant. There is
no permanent use e _ablished. The only meaningful structure e is the seawall and
it is damaged to a great degree.
It is important to consider this area as expansion to the Redevelopment
District because its planned use will serfs as a support activity to the residential
dere.opment that will emerge in the ;mill efiL:iate neighborhoods.
PROPOSED AREA A 4. Watson Island has some uses projected: but
presently its major poison is vacant.
Again, the percentage of existing vacant land qualifies this area as "shim and
blight".
PROPOSED AREA B This area is defused on the north by NT Tenth
a nte; on the east by I-5; on the so•.tt1: b-NW Fourth. Street; and on the
'.ve3t 1b7 Furth Avenue.
:t :s evi .ent that the identity of the existing SOTP ' area is changing, Loin
a orimaril; residential neighborhood to a more dynamic mixed -use district,
defused bT attractions and recreational activities. 'ts these it take up sonle of
the properties that were originally considered for reside:ilia: ri aq oses, Aces. B
emerges 3s a natual expansion to the west. These is a i:eigbooihood
it7 frasti.t€:t,.ue, which maintains a very close visual relationship and great
connectivit; t'_uo,tgh the street network that crosses under the expiessws.y.
The building code ieq,1res a /50 year certification for structures built
before 1 6Ci. Eight; percent ofthe properties were built before 1960.
.Ap1 rosiinace:v Eft; percent of the properties are vacant.
The number of vacancies, lack of maintenance and updating q, .3].i r fain
area as "slum and blight" under the criteria of 'deterioration of s:te and otter
improvements': "diversity of ownership rich prevents the Lee ;lie:ta.o lip of
]and -ithiia the deteriorated area"; and "inadequate and outdated b tilL:ig
density patterns".
AREA B-1. This corridor i•u;s along k-"Third Avenue, fro_Y_ _-�.95 to
W Twenty Second Street_ It includes all properties fontntg ' a s_:t e_{ zt }:de
of the right of wa-. On the west side: it includes a n,-.7lber of properties owned
br public agencies, which have contriID1 ed to the character c_•: the strip_ It is
important to expand the Disttict to inc tde tls s t.ori:cloy a ts:..t the tax

Number of vacancies and the age of the buildings meet the criteria of
"slum. and blight".
PROPOSED AREA E. Tbi5 area is defined by NW Eleven Street on the
noith; on the east by NW Fifth Avenue; On the south by NW Sixth Street; and
on the rest by NW Seventh Avenue-
�ilttilost s;xt7 percent of the propel -TT.- in this area is vacant, a± d the
remainder coatasas a axis of ad-1 strial. coarleicial and residential uses.
Diversityof owiteis_hip and vacancy rates gi l;fIes this area as __slum. and
blight" -
Attached please Lad 3 list of properties according to the proposed area,
