Improvement Plan, in principle and in substantially the form attached; and
finds that the proposed Wynwood Foreign Trade Zone is an integral component of

Upon approval by the City Commission and the Wynwood SNID Board, the City
Commission, in its capacity as the Miami City Commission, shall hold two (2)

0n June 22, 1989, the City Commission adopted two resolutions (Resolutions 89-577
and 577.1), instructing the City Manager to execute the following: (1) an
agreement between the City of Miami (Wynwood Safe Neighborhood Improvement
District) and the Florida Department of Community Affairs, in the amount of
$250,000, for the preparation of a Wynwood Safe Neighborhood Plan and (2) an
agreement between the City of Miami and the Department of Community Affairs, in
the amount of $30,000, for technical assistance.
0n December 7, 1989, the City Commission approved a professional services
agreement between the Wynwood Safe Neighborhood Improvement District (Wynwood
SNID) and the Wynwood Community Economic Development Corporation (WCEDC) to
prepare a Safe Neighborhood Improvement Plan for the Wynwood SNID, in the amount
of $250,000, and on April 26, 1990, the City Commission approved a professional
services agreement between the City and the Wynwood SNID Partnership in the
amount of $30,000 for technical assistance in the preparation of the Safe
Neighborhood Plan.
The Safe Neighborhood Plan has been prepared for the Wynwood Safe Neighborhood
District (Wynwood SNID) for the coordinated, balanced, and harmonious development
of the Wynwood SNID and designed through the use of Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED) techniques to effectively change the physical
environment and reduce the perception, incidence and fear of crime in the area.
The area is bounded by N.W. 36th Street, N.E. 21st Terrace and N.W. 22nd Street,
North Miami Avenue, and N.W. 6th Avenue, containing approximately 368 acres.
The Wynwood Safe Neighborhood Plan has determined that the most effective means to
reduce the incidence of crime, and change the physical environment, is to provide
a mechanism to increase employment and develop a secure facility. The Plan
proposes the establishment of a }iynwood Foreign Trade Zone (WFTZI at N.W. 5th
Avenue and N.W. 22nd Street to accomplish the dual goal of increasing employment
and reducing crime. The Wynwood Foreign Trade Zone is totally contained within
the Wynwood Safe Neighborhood Improvement District. The Plan also recommends the
following:
• Public housing along N.W. 20th Street should undergo
rehabilitation that includes the application of crime prevention
through environmental design techniques.
• Certain areas containing residential uses should be changed to a
use more complementary to the general industrial land use
currently existing in the area.
• Strategies such as privitization and rehabilitation should
include the application of crime prevention techniques.
• Demolition may be necessary in specific instances.
Page 2 of 3
• High density affordable rental housing units under private
ownership should be rehabilitated through the use of crime
prevention techniques.
o Access to the WFTZ should be controlled. Northwest 5th Avenue
should terminate with a cul-de-sac at N.W. 22 Street.
• N.W. 23rd and N.W. 24th Streets should terminate at N.W. 6th
Avenue.
• N.W. 24th, 26th, 27th and 28th Streets should be equipped with
security gates that will allow controlled access from N.W. 6th
Avenue.
o The perimeter of the WFTZ should be secured with a combination
of a 9 feet high cement fence and 9 feet high vertical bar
fencing.
• Business owners in the wholesale area should develop a security
plan with the Miami Police Department and private security
agencies.
• A "Grand Entrance" should be created at N.W. 5th Avenue and H.W.
29th Street. The "Grand Entrance" should project a "sense of
arrival" and naturally draw customers to access the commercial
area at this point.
• A logo should be designed to reflect the new image of the
District.
• Additional code enforcement efforts should be targeted to the
residential area.
A detailed explanation of both the crimes associated within the area and
recommendations for the area are presented in the attached plan.
