APPENDIX E: BRICKELL CITY CENTRE
SAP 1.4 Regulating Plan for Brickell City Centre
BRICKELL CITY CENTRE
Brickell City Centre is a mixed -use project in heart of the Brickell situated on five (5) parcels
totaling approximately 11.54-0 acres. The site is located along S. Miami Avenue and bounded by
S.W. 8th Street to south, S.E. 5 Street to the north, approximately S.W. 1st 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 1,9341,850 spaces to support approximately 725,000650,000 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 five€euf (54) underground garages at the Basement 02 level via
driveways beneath S. Miami Avenue, S.E. 6th Street, and S.EW. 7th Street and the MetroMover
right-of-way between the BCC East and One BCC blocks.
In addition to the retail component, Brickell City Centre's ("BCC") program includes the
development of approximately 1,4001,105 residential units in fourth -Fee (44) towers, three of
which are approximately 40 +/- stories in height on the BCC North, West and N2 parcels and the
fourth tower, 80 stories tall, is located on the One BCC parcel. A hotel and service apartment
building, consisting of approximately 2652-90 hotel rooms and 8975 service apartment units, is
proposed for the BCC East parcel and a 120-room hotel is planned for the mixed -use tower on
the One BCC block. An additional 3,1232,000 parking spaces will be provided above grade to
support these uses.
BCC also proposes the development of approximately 960,000915,000 01 of office space across
the entirety of the 11.54-0 acre site. A 140,000128,000 s.f. office tower (8 +/- stories) is proposed
for BCC West, with a twin medical office/wellness center of approximately 145,000178,000 s.f.
(8 +/- stories) on BCC East. Finally, an office tower of approximately 675,000733,000 s.f of
office is proposed in the mixed -use tower on the One BCC parcel, which will to -replace the
office buildings which currently houses Eastern National Bank, Northern Trust and Miami
Today, 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 City Centre 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. The development of the One BCC parcel will bring the climate ribbon
over the top of the 8th Street MetroMover station to the front door of Brickell Avenue.
{27293961;3} 7
MIAMI 21
SAP
APPENDIX E: BRICKELL CITY CENTRE
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 the 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 CITY CENTRE GOALS
A driving force behind Brickell City Centre is a desire to create a walkable urban center within
the Brickell area that will reduce carbon dioxide emission and promote energy conversation. The
plan incorporates improved street and transit connections that encourage pedestrian enjoyment
and mass transit use through increased tree canopy, use of green building techniques, and
enhancements to existing mass transit facilities.
The development goals include:
• A compact, pedestrian oriented and mixed use project designed to increase the use of
current and proposed transit service.
• Facilitate the organized growth of downtown infill redevelopment ensuring that Miami
remains the focus of the region's economic, civic, and cultural activities.
• Provide a diversity of uses distributed throughout the Special Area Plan area which
enables a variety of economic activity, workplace, residences and Civic Space types.
• Orient civic and public gathering spaces to reinforce community identity.
• Design buildings and landscape that contribute to the physical definition of
Thoroughfares as civic places.
• Develop a proper framework that successfully accommodates automobiles while
respecting the pedestrian and the special form of public spaces.
• Ensure that private development contributes to infrastructure and enriches a pedestrian
and transit friendly public and private realm of the highest quality.

6.5 Sign Standards - Brickell City Centre SAP
6.5.1 Intent
Brickell City Centre 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 City Centre SAP shall be permitted as set forth in Miami
21, unless modified by the Brickell City Centre 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. Directional
Signage shall be designed to facilitate the movement of both vehicles and
pedestrians and direct them to retail, restaurants, parking garages, and
other Uses within the District. Directional Signs may range between forty
(40) feet in length and four (4) feet in height up to a maximum of one
hundred twenty five (125) square feet. Tenants' names or logos shall not
comprise more than 20% of the Area of Directional Signs. Additional
regulations governing the location and specifications for Directional Signs
may be adopted as part of a Master Sign Package.
2. Ground/Freestanding Signage: Ground Signs shall not include Signs
mounted on poles or posts in the ground. Ground Signs shall be located at
Thoroughfare intersections and along the Principal Frontages, as generally
{27293961;3}

MIAMI 21
SAP
APPENDIX E: BRICKELL CITY CENTRE
depicted on Pages C1.18 and A0.35 of the Design Guidelines. Signs
should not be located within the Visibility Triangle as determined by
Public Works or other regulatory agencies, unless it can be determined
that such location will not adversely impact public safety. Signs shall be
designed and placed in a manner to minimize impact to pedestrian
circulation. Ground Signs shall be designed to identify the Project,
communicate the District image, or specifically identify a major tenant.
Ground signage shall be limited to five (5) signs per block, each with on
more than two sign surfaces, neither of which shall exceed forty (40)
square feet in Sign Area for each one hundred (100) feet of street
Frontage. Permitted Sign Area may be cumulative, but no Sign surface
shall exceed one hundred (100) square feet. The Maximum Height shall
not exceed twenty (20) feet, including embellishments, as measured from
the sidewalks on which the sign is placed. Additional regulations
governing the location and specifications for Ground/Freestanding Signs
may be adopted as part of a Master Sign Package.
3. Wall Signage: Wall Signage shall be located on the Pedestal above the
first Floor and oriented toward the street for the purpose of identifying the
District and retail tenants of the District. Wall signage can be
accommodated on a maximum of twenty-seven percent (27%) of the
Pedestal Face (measured by the vertical area from the finished floor
elevation to the top of the Pedestal and the horizontal area from setback to
setback). Each Pedestal Facade shall be entitled to a minimum of four (4)
and a maximum of eight (8) Wall Signs; provided however, that as part of
an SAP Permit for a Master Sign Package, the City may approve up to ten
(10) Wall signs on a maximum of two (2) Pedestal Facades upon
demonstration that the increased number of Wall signs is consistent with
Article 4, Table 12 of the Miami 21 Code and the signage standards listed
below. Signs located on the Pedestal Facade must be arranged in a manner
where each sign acts independently preventing composition signage.
Additional regulations governing the maximum size, number, location and
specifications for individual Wall Signs may be adopted as part of a
Master Sign Package.
a. Retail Ribbon Signs: Retail Ribbons Signs shall be counted as
Wall Signs for purposes of limiting the number and size of Retail
Ribbon Signs. The content of Retail Ribbon Signs shall be limited
to advertising for products and services available and events
occurring on the premises where the Retail Ribbon Sign is located.
4. Tower Signage: Tower signage shall identify the Project or the name of a
major tenant occupying more than five percent (5%) of the Floor Area of
the tower, excluding parking garages. Tower signage will be located on
towers above the Pedestal, in the manner and maximum size depicted on

BCC SAP, may be submitted to the City for approval by SAP Permit. A Master
Sign Package shall include the following: a plan view of each block indicating
location of each sign type on each level, specifications for each sign type, and
tenant sign restrictions.
b. If a Master Sign Package is approved by SAP Permit, all signs which conform to
the standards set forth therein shall not require an individual SAP Permit, and
shall be permitted if in compliance with the Florida Building Code. If a master
sign package is not adopted, or if an individual sign does not conform to the
standards set forth in adopted Master Sign Package, such signage may only be
approved by SAP Permit.
6.5.4 Signage Standards.
