Home My WebLink AboutCC Exhibit DEXHIBIT D-REGULATING PLAN BRICKELL CENTRE m 4 K.P 4d�R'C:: BRICKELL CITICENTRE Brickell CitiCentre is a mixed -use project in heart of the Brickell situated on four (4) parcels totaling approximately 9.1 acres. The site is located along S. Miami Avenue and bounded by S.W. 8th Street to south, S.E. 6 Street to the north, approximately S.W. 1 st Avenue to the west, and approximately Brickell Avenue to the east. The project, as proposed, will consist of two -levels of underground parking totaling approximately 1,600 spaces to support approximately 530,000 s.f. of open-air, destination and neighborhood serving retail across four levels, including a high -end food market. The proposed underground parking has been designed to internalize circulation and limit the impact of vehicular traffic on the adjacent roadway system. The internal circulation is achieved through the connection of the three (3) underground garages at the Basement 02 level via driveways beneath S. Miami Avenue and S.W. 7th Street. In addition to the retail component, Brickell CitiCentre's ("BCC") program includes the development of 755 residential units in two (2) towers approximately 40 +/- stories in height on the BCC North and West parcels. A hotel and service apartment building, consisting of approximately 290 hotel rooms and 75 service apartment units, is proposed for the BCC East parcel. An additional 1,500 parking spaces will be provided above grade to support these uses. BCC also proposes the development of approximately 925,000 s.f. of office space across the entirety of the 9.1 acre site. A 78,000 s.f. office tower (8 +/- stories) is proposed for BCC West, with a twin medical office/wellness center of approximately 95,000 s.f. (8 +/- stories) on BCC East. Finally, an office tower of approximately 733,000 s.f. is proposed to replace the office building which currently houses Eastern National Bank, located immediately east of the 8th Street MetroMover station. In addition to the above -listed programmatic elements, the project contemplates a number of significant features designed to enhance the public realm. Foremost among such elements is the climate ribbon that serves as unifying theme for the project, connecting the various parcels of Brickell CitiCentre and the project to the Miami River. The climate ribbon will provide protection from the elements to patrons traveling along the open air corridors of the retail center and across the pedestrian connections that will serve to unify the site above the street. It is anticipated that the ribbon will also serve to generate electric power for the facility through the incorporation of solar panels, as well assist with collection of rainfall that can be used for various water features on -site. Additional contemplated public improvements anticipated by the project include landscaping upgrades to the area under the MetroMover guideway for its use as a linear park that would enhance Brickell community's connection with the Miami River. The project also anticipates making significant improvements to the 8th Street MetroMover station that would serve to integrate the station with the project, improve station access, enhance MetroMover ridership, and provide a multi -modal connection to the planned City of Miami Brickell Trolley line. BRICKELL CITICENTRE GOALS A driving force behind Brickell CitiCentre is a desire to create a -walkable urban center within the Brickell area that will reduce carbon dioxide emission and promote energy conversation.

TABLE 5 BUILDING FUNCTION: PARKING AND LOADING SHARED PARKING STANDARDS SHARING FACTOR Function RESIDENTIAL LODGING OFFICE COMMERCIAL with #40 4 Ott 4)4. O Function RESIDENTIAL LODGING OFFICE COMMERCIAL The shared Parking Standards Table provides the method for calculating shared parking for buildings with more than one Use type. It refers to the parking requirements that appear in Table 4. The parking required for any two Functions on a Lot is calculated by dividing the number of spaces required by the lesser of the two uses by the appropriate factor from this Table and adding the result to the greater use parking requirement. For instance: for a building with a Residential Use requiring 100 spaces and a Commercial Use requir- ing 20 spaces, the 20 spaces divided by the sharing factor of 1.2 would reduce the total requirement to 100 plus 17 spaces. For uses not indicated in this chart on a mixed use lot a sharing factor of 1.1 shall be allowed. Additional sharing is allowed by SAP Permit.

SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS Brickell CitiCentre is a pedestrian oriented, mixed -use, urban development district (the "District") that includes residential, retail, office and hotel uses which are serviced by a mass transit station and several lined parking garages. The District is envisioned as a hub for high -end retail which does not otherwise exist in the City of Miami. The retail and office components of the District will consistently serve large numbers of people, many of whom will drive to the District and park in one of the Project's several lined parking garages. Others will walk or take mass transit to access the Project. In order for the District to function properly and seamlessly integrate into the Brickell neighborhood, pedestrians must be clearly directed to the mass transit station and retail areas and vehicles must be clearly directed to parking garages. The intent of these sign regulations is to (1) move pedestrians and vehicle traffic in and out of the District safely and efficiently; (2) promote safe and efficient pedestrian traffic within the District; (3) promote efficient vehicle circulation to and from the parking garages within the District; and (4) identify the District to motorists along adjacent Thoroughfares. 6.5.2 Signage Location, Types, and Aggregation. a. Signs within the Brickell CitiCentre SAP shall be permitted as set forth in Miami 21, unless modified by the Brickell CitiCentre Regulating Plan and Design Guidelines as set forth below. Signs within Pedestrian Passages, including directional signs containing layout of the retail space and location of retail tenants, which do not contain advertising material visible from the public right-of-way, shall not be regulated by the City. b, Signage placed on the Pedestal or along the District's Retail Frontages shall be classified as: 1. Directional Signage: Directional Signage may be located at the entrances to parking garages and at pedestrian entrances to the Project, as generally depicted on Pages C1,18 and A0.35 of the Design Guidelines.
