SUPPLEMENT TO AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 54 OF THE CITY CODE
BASE BUILDING LINES - NW/NE 79 STREET
The FDOT is currently finalizing the first phase of a two-phase Project Development and
Environment (PD&E) Study to evaluate concept alternatives and preliminary design
changes to NW/NE 79 Street and NW/NE 81/82 Street from approximately NW 13th
Court on the west to Biscayne Bay on the east. The objective of the phased study is to
promote livability enhancements along NE 82 Street within the Shorecrest community in
the City of Miami while maintaining acceptable mobility standards along NW/NE 79
Street as the corridor currently functions as a one-way pair facility and a gateway to the
City of Miami. Information garnered from the initial PD&E study has determined that
the livability needs along NE 82 Street cannot be adequately addressed without
significant capacity improvements to 79 Street by way of roadway widening and/or
transit improvements. The initial PD&E study, however, was constrained from the
standpoint of right-of-way acquisition.
To accommodate the traffic capacity improvements along NW/NE 79th Street that will
ultimately enhance livability along the NE 82 Street corridor, it is respectfully
recommended that the zoned base building line width of NW/NE 79 Street between
Biscayne Bay and the west city limits be increased from 80 feet to 110 feet for the
segment from Biscayne Bay to NW 7th Avenue (this is a 30 foot increase, 15 feet from
each side of the roadway) and from 100 feet to 110 for the segment from NW 7th Avenue
to west city limits (this is a ten (10) foot increase, five (5) feet from each side of the
roadway).
The increase in zone base building line width is achieved through dedication as properties
redevelop along the corridor. Dedication of the rights -of -way will be included in the
building permit review process for new developments along NW/NE 79 Street.
