Project: Closing, Vacating, Abandoning and Discontinuing for public use streets Location: LOCATED APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN N. MIAMI AVENUE AND NE 2ND AVENUE, AND BETWEEN NE 10TH STREET AND THE FLORIDA EAST COAST RAILWAY MIAMI, FLORIDA Net District: Downtown NET Folio #: N/A Square footage: N/A Current Zoning Designation: N/A FINDINGS AND COMMENTS: 1. The platted sites will be redeveloped into more than the existing surface parking Tots. The redevelopment of the properties will allow for a mixed use development which will have retail, residential and various other commercial uses.

The general public would benefit economically from the increase in tax benefits and employment opportunities created by the redevelopment. 2.

The proposed tracts maintain platted public streets on at least three sides. The site's redevelopment must comply with GSA, Fire and Police requirements to ensure sufficient access for City Services. 3. NW/NE 7 Street and NW/NE 9 Street currently end at the former Miami Arena site and the F.E.C. Railroad, respectively, and do not provide continuous connectivity between Biscayne Boulevard and I-95. NW/NE 8 Street will remain as a public ingress/egress easement and connectivity will be maintained. The closure of the streets would not negatively impact the ability for City services to service these properties. The proposed tracts maintain platted public streets on at least three sides. 4. The pedestrian will have the greatest benefit due to the street closures. NW/NE 7 Street and NE/NW 9 Street are being converted to strictly pedestrian streets.
