ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS
2.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT
2.1.2. INTENT
ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS
MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT RETAIL STREET SAP
The intent of the Miami Design District Retail Street Special Area Plan (SAP) is to guide the design, construction
and management of a new retail pedestrian street and its surrounding city streets in the Design District to ensure
a high quality, mixed use, pedestrian experience. The control of Building location, massing, and surface is
intended to produce public space that is safe, comfortable and interesting for pedestrians and attractive to
high -end retail tenants. Pedestrian mobility is to be improved by an enhanced Public Right -of -Way Streetscape
and by the addition of a four block long Pedestrian Passage.
The public space of the Pedestrian Passage is of a scale that is intimate and episodic. The quantity and
materials of shared elements in the public spaces, such as pavement, signs and lighting are intended to be
minimized and recessive, as the primary experience should be that of the highly individualistic retail stores. The
Building Facade lines of the Miami Design District Retail Street SAP are drawn to support the continuity of the
existing Design District street wall, to form the sequential character of the pedestrian street experience, and to give
store tenants appropriate space distribution and visibility.
This document precedes the final development program, architectural design and detailing, and infrastructure
engineering, and it is expected that adjustments to the development program, architectural design and detailing,
infrastructure engineering may shall be necessary during implementation phases of design development and
construction documents. Nothing in this Miami Design District Retail Street SAP, including the initial
development program as set forth on Page A1.9 of the Concept Book, shall be construed to limit development in
excess of the initial development program. Any future development in excess of the initial development program
shall be subject at all times to the maximum density and intensity permitted by the underlying transect
designation of any one Lot or parcel forming part of this SAP and the procedures set forth in Article 7 of this
Miami Design District Retail Street SAP, including the approval of substantial modifications to the development
program by process of Exception.
The SAP is based on the Miami 21 Zoning Code, as amended through April 2012, and shall serve to supplement
the code. Where standards set forth herein conflict with standards set forth in the code, the standards in this SAP
shall govern. By virtue of the adoption of the Miami Design District Retail Street SAP, all provisions of the Miami
21 Zoning Code requiring enactment or authorization by Special Area Plan pursuant to and identified in Article
3.9, unless modified in the SAP, shall be deemed duly enacted or /authorized. Where the standards in the SAP
are silent, the underlying Miami 21 zoning code requirements shall govern.
The Miami Design District Retail Street SAP shall not constitute a precedent for the balance of the City of Miami.
The alternate standards of this SAP should be considered unique with regard to the large aggregation of
property under multiple ownership committed to an integrated development plan, as well as its unified design
and management that will enable and ensure a coherent, high quality, and sustainable result.

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 requiring 20
spaces, the 20 spaces divided by the sharing factor of 1.2 would reduce the total requirement to 100 plus 16
spaces. For uses not indicated in this chart on a mixed use lot, or within the mixed -use SAP area, a sharing
factor of 1.1 shall be allowed. Additional sharing is allowed by Warrant.

a. Common Lawn: a Frontage wherein the Fagade is set back sub-
stantially from the Frontage Line. The front yard created remains
unfenced and is visually continuous with adjacent yards, supporting
a common landscape. The Setback can be densely landscaped to
buffer from higher speed Thoroughfares.
b. Porch & Fence: a Frontage wherein the Facade is set back from
the Frontage Line with an attached Porch permitted to encroach. A
fence at the Frontage Line maintains the demarcation of the yard
while not blocking view into the front yard.
c. Terrace or Light Court: a Frontage wherein the Facade is set back
from the Frontage Line by an elevated terrace or a sunken light
court. This type buffers residential use from urban sidewalks and
removes the private yard from public encroachment. The raised
terrace is suitable for outdoor cafes.
d. Forecourt: a Frontage wherein a portion of the Facade is close
to the Frontage Line with a portion set back. The forecourt
with a large tree offers visual and environmental variety to
the urban Streetscape. The Forecourt may accommodate a
vehicular drop off.
e. Stoop: a Frontage wherein the Facade is aligned close to the
Frontage Line with the first Story elevated from the sidewalk
sufficiently to secure privacy for the windows. The entrance is
usually an exterior stair and landing. This type is recommended
for ground -floor Residential Use.
f. Shopfront: a Frontage wherein the Facade is aligned close to the
Frontage Line with the Building entrance at sidewalk grade. This
type is conventional for retail Use. It has substantial glazing at the

6.5 SIGN STANDARDS
6.5.1.5 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
ARTICLE 6. SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS
MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT RETAIL STREET SAP
The following general requirements and limitations shall apply with regard to Signs, in addition to provi-
sions appearing elsewhere in this code. No Variance from these provisions is permitted unless other-
wise provided herein.
a. Any Sign allowed herein may contain, in lieu of any other message or copy, any lawful non -
Commercial message, so long as said Sign complies with the size, Height, Area and other
requirements of this code and the City Code,
b. Limitations on false and misleading Signs. It shall be unlawful to post any Sign that is false or mis-
leading.
c. No Sign adjacent to a T3, T4-R, T5-R or T6-R zone shall be illuminated or Flashing unless such
Signs are specifically authorized by the regulations for the Transect in which erected. Whether or
not illuminated or Flashing Signs are authorized generally within a zone, no Flashing Sign shall be
permitted within one hundred (100) feet of any portion of property in a Residential district located
north of NE 42nd Street, as measured along the street Frontage on the same side of the street, or
as measured in a straight line to property across the street, if the flashing element of such Sign is
directly visible from the Residential property involved.
d. Revolving or Whirling Signs and pennant or streamer Signs are hereby prohibited unless such Signs
are specifically authorized by the regulations for the Zone in which erected.
e. Signs of historic significance. Any Sign determined to be of historic significance by the Historic and
Environmental Preservation Board, through resolution that makes findings according to the Chapter
23 of the City Code, may be exempted by Warrant from any Sign limitation imposed by this code.
The placement of said Sign may be as approved according to the considerations and standards of
Warrant approval, as the criteria in Chapter 23.
Variances for Height on freestanding outdoor Advertising Signs may be granted by the Planning,
Zoning and Appeals Board, pursuant to the limitations set forth in this code and upon compliance
with the following:
1. An application for a Height Variance for a freestanding outdoor Advertising Sign may only be
submitted, and accepted by the City, if the Height Variance is necessary due to a government
action which renders the Sign not visible from the roadway(s) which it was intended to be
viewed from; said government action will only be considered a justification for the requested
Variance if the action occurs after the Sign has been legally erected under the provisions of the
zoning ordinance in effect at the time the Sign was built. A legally erected Sign that was legally
constructed and not in compliance with the Height provisions of the Zoning Ordinance may not
justify the noncompliant Height as hardship for a Variance request; only a subsequent government
action, which physically impedes the visibility of a Sign, will be considered a valid justification;

accompanied by line of sight studies from the roadway(s) which such Sign is intended to be
viewed from; and

make such Sign visible from the roadway(s) which such Sign is intended to be viewed from.
4. In addition, this section shall not apply to any Sign with nonconforming status.
All Temporary Signs shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 62 of the City Code.

d. The maximum height of a logo may exceed the maximum letter height by up to fifty percent (50%)
if its width does not exceed its height. When text and a graphic logotype are combined in an inte-

e. The maximum length of the Sign shall not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the width of the Building
wall upon which it is placed, as measured at the height of the Sign. The Sign shall consist of not more

by Waiver.
g.
All Signs higher than fifty (50) feet above grade may be permitted by Warrant and shall be reviewed
based on the following guidelines:
1. Signs should respect the Architectural Features of the Facade and be sized and placed
subordinate to those features. Overlapping of functional windows, extensions beyond parapet
edges obscuring architectural ornamentation or disruption of dominant Facade lines are
examples of Sign design problems considered unacceptable.
2. The Sign's color and value (shades of light and dark) should be harmonious with Building
materials.
3. In the case of a lighted Sign, a reverse channel letter that silhouettes the Sign against a lighted
Building face or the subtle application of illuminated letter returns is desirable. Lighting of a Sign
should be accompanied by accent lighting of the Building's distinctive Architectural Features
and especially the Facade area surrounding the Sign. Lighted Signs on unlit Buildings are un-
acceptable. The objective is a visual lighting emphasis on the Building with the lighted Sign as
subordinate.
4, Feature lighting of the Building, including exposed light elements that enhance Building lines,
light sculpture or kinetic displays that meet the criteria of the Miami -Dade County art -in -public
places ordinance, shall not be construed as Signage subject to these regulations.

MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 9. LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS
DRAFT - JULY 5, 2012 MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT RETAIL STREET SAP
I. In order to prevent adverse environmental impacts to existing native plant communities, cabbage
palms (Sabal palmetto) that are harvested from the wild shall not be used to satisfy minimum land-
scaping requirements. Only existing cabbage palms (Sabal palmetto) which are rescued from
government approved donor sites, transplanted within the site, or commercially grown from seed
shall be counted towards the minimum tree and native plant requirements.
m. When trees are planted within the right-of-way, the owners of land adjacent to the areas where
street trees are planted must maintain those areas including the trees, plants and sod, using pruning
methods specified in this Code. A covenant executed by those owners is required, or a special taxing
district must be created to maintain these areas. Where the State, County or municipality determines
that the planting of trees and other landscape material is not appropriate in the public right-of-way,
they may require that said trees and landscape material be placed on private property.
n. Consideration shall be given to the selection of trees, plants and planting site to avoid serious
problems such as clogged sewers, cracked sidewalks, and power service interruptions.
