Centerra Large Scale Development Project Located at 1120 NW 1st Avenue, Miami,
FL
Dear Ms. Gelabert-Sanchez:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has reviewed the above referenced project for
an airspace and land -use analysis and determination letter.
Airspace Review:
Based on the information provided, our review finds the maximum height of approximately 301'-
6" AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) for the proposed building at the referenced location
conforms to the Miami International Airport (Wilcox Field) Zoning Ordincmce.
This height determination is an estimate issued on a preliminary or advisory basis. Please note
that as a preliminary height determination it does not constitute approval by MDAD for
construction until coordination and a "No -Hazard" determination from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is obtained. Please note, any proposed construction at this location
reaching or exceeding 200 feet AMSL is required to be . filed with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) using Form 7460-1 `Notice of Proposed Construction Alteration for
Determination of Known Hazards'.
In addition, any construction cranes for this project at this location reaching or exceeding 200 feet
AMSL must be filed by the construction contractor using the sane form. Thus, for any crane
reaching or exceeding 200 feet AMSL, FAA form 7460-1 must be filed. The form is available
through this office or through the FAA website: https://oeaaa.faa.gov. This form should be mailed
to: Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic Airspace Branch - ASW-520, 2601 Meacham
Blvd, Ft. Worth, TX 76137-0520. Alternatively, the applicant may "e-file" online at
https://oeaaa.faa.gov.

Please note that the airspace review process is governed by two different regulations: the Miami -
Dade County Fleight Zoning Ordinances and the Code of Federal Regulation, Title 14 Part 77.
The Miami -Dade County Aviation Department or the applicable municipal building official
determines whether the County's height limitations are met, the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has its own airspace evaluation requirements, and issues airspace determinations for
structures and cranes, and determines whether FAA, marking and height requirements are met
based on the particular facts then presented before them.
Furthermore, please note that upon completion of this project, no Certificate of Use and
Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued by a municipality or Miami -Dade County until approval
is obtained by this office certifying that the structure was built no higher that the height approved
by this letter. The approval shall be issued by this office after submittal by applicant of the
required information as outlined in the Miami International Airport (Wilcox Field) Zoning
Ordinance, Section 33-349 Airspace Approvals, Paragraph A,
Subsection 2.
Land Use Review:
Based on the available information, MDAD has determined that the proposed affordable housing
development is compatible with airport operations.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 305-876-8080.
