INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW The Miami Worldcenter is a multi -block mixed -use development immediately north of
the Central Business District in downtown Miami. It is generally defined by NE 2nd
Avenue to the east, North Miami Avenue to the west, NE llth Street to the north, and
NE 6th Street to the south.
Spanning over thirty acres, the Miami Worldcenter is planned to include a dynamic mix
of retail, restaurant, entertainment, hospitality, residential, office, and other uses that
will create a vibrant, walkable pedestrian environment with a unique sense of place and
a modern design statement driven by Miami's unique physical context, culture, and
architectural heritage.
INTENT The Miami Worldcenter Development Standards will establish appropriate standards
for the design of streets, public spaces, and buildings within the MWC Special District
area. These Development Standards shall be considered the guiding principles for all
new development.

REGULATING PLAN
OVERVIEW The Miami Worldcenter project was guided by the goal of establishing a memorable,
pedestrian district with a strong integrated public realm. This includes an interconnected
system of well-defined streets, plazas, promenades, paseos, and other pedestrian
spaces tailored to Miami's climate.
INTENT The regulating plan for Miami Worldcenter summarizes the general configuration of
the open space within the site area, including major civic spaces, publicly accessible
sidewalks, paseos, and pedestrian -only thoroughfares. The regulating plan also defines
the location of open spaces and significant towers within the district.

A unified street system with a clear hierarchy has been developed at Miami Worldcenter.
Narrow streets set the stage for larger, more significant streets, each street having a
distinct personality and function to create a range of experiences. This will include
variation in scale, enclosure, materials, sidewalk width, and retail character.
Designated as a prominent street at Miami Worldcenter, NE 1st Avenue serves as a
primary connection from the Central Business District and Downtown.
A gateway street defined by the elevated Metromover train and intense residential
development along the east side of the street near Biscayne Boulevard. Improvements
to areas around the Metromover are contemplated to improve the pedestrian experience
and to improve transit ridership and accessibility.
A north -south neighborhood gateway street providing linkages to the Central Business
District and the Omni Neighborhood.
East -west perimeter street with a strong connection to the Port of Miami.
Pedestrian -only promenade with retail and restaurant activity, connecting the American
Airlines Arena to the east and the future FEC development to the west.
Major east -west street connecting the American Airlines Arena and the Biscayne
Waterfront to the Overtown Transit Village and 1-95 to the west.
East -west street, a portion of which will be a covered pedestrian Paseo.
A Tree -lined street that provides an east -west linkage between the Overtown
Neighborhood and Museum Park.
Mixed -use street with a focus on entertainment uses.
Existing freight rail corridor between the MWC Promenade and NE 6th Street.

ARCHITECTURAL SCALING ELEMENTS
INTENT • To avoid large areas of undifferentiated or blank building facades.
• To create a comfortably scaled and thoughtfully detailed pedestrian environment
through the use of well -designed architectural forms and details.
• To create building facades that take advantage of Miami's sunny climate to reinforce
changes in plane, material texture, and detail through the interplay of light and
shadow.
STAN DARDS Architectural scaling elements should be used to reduce the appearance of large
building facades. Variation in building scaling may include changes in wall plane or
height and may relate to primary building entries, important corners or other significant
architectural features.
Architectural detail may relate to but not necessarily mimic traditional building details,
such as pilasters and belt courses, to establish a human -scale vocabulary.
Balconies and terraces are strongly encouraged for residential uses. These elements
shall be incorporated into vertical and horizontal shifts and building massing wherever
possible.

entries to streets and other public spaces.
• To reinforce the convenience of pedestrian activity and circulation along the street
by creating multiple external, street oriented entries to ground floor,
pedestrian -active uses.
STAN DARDS Entries to ground floor uses shall be direct and as numerous as possible to encourage
active pedestrian use.
Each commercial use with an exterior, street -oriented exposure shall have an individual
public entry from the street.
