This amendment incorporates BCCN2, to the previously approved Brickell CitiCentre SAP.

B) The BCCN2 block incorporates to the BCC -SAP 42,821 Sq. Ft, approximately .983 acres, of land for a new total of 436,499 square feet or 10.01 Acres, within the overall development site. C) The BCCN2 proposes a mix of commercial and residential uses and associated parking areas to complement the BCC -SAP intent. rent t The analysis for this proposal, based on the Miami 21 Code, the Zoning Ordinance of City of Miami, is considered an amendment to the previously approved Special Area Plan per ARTICLE 3, Section 3.9, and Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8, which allows parcels greater than nine (9) abutting acres in size to be master planned to allow a greater integration of public improvements and infrastructure, and greater flexibility so as to result in higher or specialized quality building and streetscape design. Page 1 of 6 FINDINGS In determining the appropriateness of the proposed Amendment to a previously approved Special Area Plan ("SAP"), the Planning Department referred this proposal for additional input and recommendations to: • Coordinated Review Committee; and • The Urban Development Review Board; and • Other agencies and department of the City as necessary • The addition of land to the previously approved "Brickell CitiCenter-Special Area Plan" is deemed an Amendment to the previously approved BCC -SAP • The BCCN2 block incorporates to the BCC -SAP approximately 42,821 Sq. Ft. (.98 ± acres) of land for a new total of 436,499 square feet (10.01 ± acres) within the overall development site. • The program for BCCN2 includes: o Approximately 78,765 square feet of Retail/Entertainment floor area, O 350 Residential Dwelling Units with approximately 563,274 square feet of floor area, O 772 parking spaces with approximately 307,434 square feet, o Approximately 1,250 square feet of Civic Space. • The amended Brickell CitiCentre project inclusive of the BCCN2 program will provide the following: o Approximately 634,966 square feet of Retail/Entertainment.

O 5,519 parking spaces with approximately 2,177,993 square feet of parking area. o Approximately 26,079 square feet of Civic Space. • The Land Use designation for the BCCN2 is "Restricted Commercial" with Urban Central Business District (UCBD) overlay. • The Zoning designation for the BCCN2 is T6-48B-O (Urban Core Transect T6-48-B Open). • This proposal does not require a Zoning Transect change or amendment of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). • The BCCN2 falls under the Miami River Greenway Design Guidelines and Standards. • BCCN2 block is within Archeological conservation area requiring monitoring and disposition plan should Archeological resources be found. • This amendment proposes minor modifications to the Miami 21 regulations for the T6-48b-O transect zone that currently govern the BCCN2 block. The modifications will facilitate its physical linkage to the rest of the project and will allow the creation of an additional 256 parking spaces below grade. The Regulating Plan is being amended to incorporate the BCCN2 block into the previously approved BCC SAP Regulating Plan, further modifying the T6-48b-O regulation to allow the development of the new proposed program for BCCN2. Page 2 of 6 • The BCCN2 block is located within the Downtown Development of Regional Impact (DDRI) area, The DDRI fees will be calculated based on final program DDRI credits may be reserved upon approval of this SAP amendment; but, without exception, all fees must be paid prior to the issuance of any building permit. • The BCCN2 has convenient access to the mass transportation system at the SE 8th Street Metro Mover Station, located within the "Office Block". • The above described property is currently underutilized, mostly consisting of vacant land or underdeveloped lots, secured by chain link fencing. • The current condition of the lots negatively impacts the urban fabric of West Brickell and interrupts linkages necessary to create a safe, enjoyable pedestrian realm. • The BCCN2 integrates public improvements and infrastructure while providing greater flexibility resulting in higher or specialized quality building and streetscape design extending the BCC -SAP to the North, closer to the river area. • Pursuant to the Applicant's request the name of the Brickell CitiCenter SAP is herein amended to Brickell CityCentre SAP • As per the letter of intent which is part of this submittal, "the proposed application will also produce significant recurring fiscal benefits for the City of Miami.
