627.2.1. Intent.

1
This district is of special and substantial public interest given its proximity to Downtown Miami and the Omni
Area, the Design District, Miami Beach, the Wynwood Neighborhood and to future proposed commuter transit
facilities within the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) Corridor. The intent of the district is to: (1) Promote the
creation of a Miami midtown environment through intensive urban retail mixed -use development with a twenty-four
hour activity pattern; and (2) Enhance the pedestrian environment and connectivit ofthe existing surrounding
areas by extending the city street . rld through the district. To this end, the district promotes streetscapes and
mixe-Xusatadings designed to provide pesestrians with lively, interesting, well -landscaped and highly usable
public spaces with a maximum interrelationship with ground floor buildin uses.
1
The Midtown Miami West district regulations are intended to provide a method to allow for planning initiatives that
achieve a unique or innovative development that is not otherwise provided for in the zoning ordinance. These
planning initiatives may include, but are not limited to, Smart Growth as defined in Section 627. The standards
and procedures of this district are intended to promote flexible design and permit planned diversification and
integration of uses and structures, with limitations and regulations as deemed necessary to be consistent with
the City's Comprehensive Plan and to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. Design standards
supplement this ordinance and provide more detailed clarification.
Concerning building uses and overall buildable area, mixed -use development is encouraged by providing greater
floor area ratios and overall building height than that of single use buildings. Furthermore, additional height is
provided for sites that abut significant open space and/or are designated as strategically located visual gate-
ways as defined in Section 627. Yard and setback areas are minimal and are required to be developed as an
integral part of the overall pedestrian streetscape. Ground floor build -to lines are provided in order to establish
a continuous building frontage that enhances and provides spatial definition for the urban streetscape.
Although no specific requirements are contained herein, it is further intended that buildings be designed utilizing
environmentally sensitive methods, including, but not limited to, passive and active solar techniques, green -
roofs, the utilization of environmentally sustainable materials and efficient mechanical systems.

floor space designed to accommodate retail and other uses that promote pedestrian traffic,
The design of such space shall meet the standards listed below, except for buildings that are
intended primarily for residential use, where ground floor pedestrian oriented uses would be
inappropriate or disruptive to the residential use.

trances directly accessible from public sidewalk space. At least one (1) external entrance
shall be located along the frontage of the primary street or on the corner intersection of
the primary street and any other street or the frontage of public open space. Additionally,
each building use, such as a retail store with a cafe or restaurant, shall have separate
entrances. All such entrances shall he transpa€eet.
(b) For the first ten (10) feet of height above the public sidewalk elevation, the exterior
building wall shall contain windows and/or doorways of transparent glass covering at
least fifty (50) percent of linear frontage (to be calculated at a height over 30 inches) of
each building; plazas and openings into pedestrian entrances and spaces shall count
towards the 50% transparency requirement specified in this section. Additionally, the base
of all transparent openings shall be no more than thirty (30) inches above the sidewalk.
Display windows may count towards the transparency requirement and may encroach
upon specified setback and build -to lines by a distance no greater than thirty (30) inches,
provided that a minimum of five (5) feet of sidewalk must remain clear of all obstructions.
(c) Arcades and colonnades, where proposed shall be at least nine (9) feet wide and twelve
(12) feet high. A minimum of five (5) feet of the sidewalk must remain clear of all obstruc-
tions to ensure adequate pedestrian circulation.

with a flat; unarticulated surface for a distance of greater than twenty (20) feet. In addi-
tion, any building frontage on North Miami Avenue that exceeds three hundred (300) feet
shall incorporate a major break of at least thirty (30) feet in width by ten (10) feet in depth
at ground level. Such breaks shall be improved as open space and/or provide building
access and occur on axis with the existing city street grid.
2. The remaining frontage of thirty-five percent (35%) may be dedicated to entrances, lobbies,
customer driveways, architectural treatment, or non -pedestrian oriented uses. No portion
of a building wall that does not contain transparent glass shall be constructed with a flat,
unarticulated surface for a distance of greater than twenty (20) feet.

were analyzed to determine impacts to downtown businesses and the downtown district transportation
network. Smaller but similar efforts were performed in Miami, Florida; Racine, Wisconsin; and Newington,
Connecticut. He also provided transportation and land use analysis and advice to Miami -Dade County

and organizational analysis. Major work included: 1) leading an 18—month, $1.3—million, county —wide 97—

million parks improvement and an $8—million fire safety improvement GO bonds. Approximately 60 meetings
were led from August through early October 1999. All three GO bonds succeeded the November 1999 ballot
questions, and all three were subsequently approved by the City Commission.
In December 1999, the City Manager's office requested Mr. Alvarez to lead integration of the programming
for the Streetscape GO Bond with water and sewer revenue bond improvements, and other federal and state
funded transportation program improvements. He performed this role as a contract employee with the City
to facilitate the long term engagement. In this role he developed a long range financial planning and reporting
system to coordinate the scheduling, costs, funding and budgeting for infrastructure projects totaling $400—
million. Under the authority of the City Manager's office, he coordinated with departments of finance,
budget, planning, public works, parks, parking, buildings, and media relations. He generated monthly status
reports and reported to the Commission —appointed GO Bond Oversight Committee at monthly meetings.
Starting in 2002, he began efforts to transition responsibilities to a newly formed CIP Office.

Principal
January 2007 - present
As the Principal of Integrated Urban Planning, Mr. Alvarez performs multimodal transportation planning,
integrated land use planning, urban environmental impact analysis, and regulatory/policy analysis. He works as a
sole practitioner and on multidisciplinary teams for government agencies, community groups, and private interests.
He provides leadership in transportation planning that spans: roadway operational analysis, transit system
development and optimization, community transit plans, transportation demand management, "last mile"
transportation alternative (can sharing, bike sharing, etc.) planning and market forecasting, and electric vehicle
(EV) infrastructure planning. He also continues to work with economic development teams in the planning of
transportation and parking improvements to support community or downtown redevelopment plans.
He provides services in land planning disciplines that include: neighborhood master plans; zoning codes and
comprehensive plan policy; and development assessments for regulatory consistency and environmental
impacts such as historic assets, aesthetic considerations, distribution of growth, population concentrations,
community character, and agricultural resources. Working as a liaison among neighborhood organizations,
development interests, and government jurisdictions he has developed master plans to balance interests and
create consent among parties.
In similar settings, he has developed zoning and land use policy amendments to balance conflicting interests
and bring consent among varied interests. On many occasions, he has represented community associations to
control development from a compatibility viewpoint, and in several other occasions he has represented local
agricultural interests to prevent suburban development encroachment. He remains committed to agricultural
and natural environment preservation, preservation of community, and balancing needs in urban settings.
