a. Upon the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any Net New Development as
defined in section 14-122 of the City Code, the City shall make appropriate
deductions from the amount of Total Allowable Development under this
Development Order. No Building Permit shall be issued for Net New Development
which would, in the aggregate, exceed the amount of Total Allowable Development
under this Development Order. The City may permit simultaneous increases and
decreases in the above described land use categories consistent with the
Equivalency Matrix attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (Equivalency Matrix), without
the need of filing for an NOPC (Notice of Proposed Change) provided that the
regional impacts of the land uses in Increment III of the Project as approved, as
measured by total peak hour vehicle trips are not increased. Nothing herein
changes, grants, or otherwise alters any rights, conditions, commitments,
obligations or limitations upon development projects that commenced within and/or
which are credited to increments 1 and II of the Downtown Development of
Regional Impact.
b. On February 17, 2015, the City of Miami Downtown Development Authority
("DDA") and Department of Economic Opportunity entered into an Agreement
Authorizing Interim Development for the Downtown Miami Development of
Regional Impact Increment III Pursuant to Section 380.032, Florida Statutes
("Agreement"), which authorized commencement of interim development pursuant
to this Increment 111 in advance of issuance of this final Development Order. Such
development under Increment III and pursuant to this Development Order has
commenced. It is understood that any development that has commenced under
this Increment III was required to pay all credits applicable to the development of
the Project as if it was to be developed under Increment II of the Downtown
Development of Regional Impact and all applicable ordinances and statutory
requirements. Further, said development was obligated and recognizes that
Increment 'III, when authorized as provided by law, may contain different
coefficients or other calculation methodology that could cause fees for credits
under Increment III to be substantially changed from those of Increment II. Any
development that commenced prior to the adoption of Increment Ili is also
obligated to pay any additional fees applicable to the development of the project
pursuant to Increment III within thirty (30) days of the final approval and expiration
of all appeal periods for the approval of the Increment 111 development order and,
in all events,prior to the issuance of a certificate of use and/or occupancy for
development of any project that does not qualify for Increment II credits.
Monitor the capacity of Total Allowable Development by reserving the amount of
Development Credits necessary for Net New Development at a time, to be determined by
the City, prior to or coincident with approval of a building permit or other appropriate City
approvals. The City shall place reasonable time limits on all building permits to assure that
construction progresses within a reasonable period of time after approval to prevent
stockpiling of reservations for Development Credits. The time period established by the
City shall take into account the size of the proposed Net New Development in relationship
to the time necessary to begin construction.
5. The buildout date, for authorizing development through the issuance of building and other
permits, shall be September 1, 2025. September 1, 2025 is hereby established as the
expiration/termination date for the development order. Upon the occurrence of the
expiration/termination date, the City of Miami Downtown Development of Regional Impact
Master and all incremental development orders shall be expired, terminated and of no
further force and effect. The buildout and expiration/termination dates may only be
modified in accordance with Section 380.06(19), F.S.
6. Establish September 1, 2025 as the date until which the City agrees that the Downtown
Miami Increment III Development of Regional Impact shall not be subject to downzoning,
unit density reduction, or intensity reduction, unless the City can demonstrate that
substantial changes in the conditions underlying the approval of the development order
have occurred, or that the development order was based on substantially inaccurate
information provided by the Applicant, or that the change is clearly essential to the public
health, safety or welfare.
7. The City Manager, by and through his/her designees, is hereby designated to monitor
compliance with all conditions and the enforcement of this Development Order and shall
have the duty and authority to interpret the provisions of this Development Order and to
promulgate rulings, regulations, and procedures necessary to implement it, provided the
same are not inconsistent with the terms hereof or of F.S. 380.06, or duly promulgated
and adopted rules there under. Appeals to decisions of the City Manager may be filed
pursuant to procedures set forth in the City of Miami Code and hand development
regulations, as amended. Any noncompliance shall be subject to the provisions of
Condition 8 herein.
8. The City shall not violate any of the conditions of this Development Order or otherwise fail
to act substantially in compliance with this Development Order or permit any property
owner within the boundaries covered by this Development Order to violate any of the
provisions of this Development Order. In the event any entity controlled by the Applicant
and/or the City or any permittee or landowner of any Parcel of Land violates (hereinafter
"violator") the provisions of this Development Order, the City shall stay the effectiveness
of this Development Order as to the parcel or tract of land in which the violative activity or
conduct has occurred and withhold further permits, approvals, and services for
development in said Parcel of Land upon passage of any appropriate resolution by the
City, adopted in accordance with this section, finding that such violation has occurred. The
violator will be given written notice by the City that states: 1) the nature of the purported
violation, and 2) that unless the violation is cured within thirty (30) days of said notice, the
City will hold a public hearing to consider the matter within sixty (60) days of the date of
said notice. In the event the violation is not curable in thirty (30) days, the violator's diligent
good faith efforts, as determined by the City, to cure the violation within that period will
obviate the need to hold a public hearing and this Development Order will remain in full
force and effect unless the violator does not diligently pursue the curative action to
completion within a reasonable time, in which event the City will give fifteen (15) days'
notice to the violator of its intention to stay the effectiveness of this Development Order
and withhold further permits, approvals, and services to the Parcel of Land in which the
violation has occurred and until the violation is cured. The terms of this paragraph may be
modified from time to time by written agreement by the DDA, the City, and South Florida
Regional Council ("Council") staff, to enable the City to enforce the terms of this
Development Order to the fullest extent, while providing due process to all developers
under this Development Order.

specifically enumerated herein.
10. City of Miami shall prepare an Annual Report and submit copies to the Council, the City

existing housing units) and to ensure a balanced distribution of housing, based on income
levels.

Section 3. The following findings of fact are hereby confirmed and adopted with
respect to the DDRI Increment III:
A. The findings and determinations of fact set forth in the recitals of this ordinance adopting
this Development Order are hereby confirmed.
B. The real property which is the subject of this Development Order is legally described in
Exhibit "E" of this ordinance.
C. The City of Miami filed the ADA with the City, the SFRC, and the Florida Department of
Economic Opportunity.
D. The ADA has been filed by the DDA pursuant to Section 380.06(22), Fla. Stat.,
authorizing the DDA to apply for development approval and receive a development order
for any orall of the area within its jurisdiction. Individual developments are not identified
or required to be identified in the CADA.
E. The purpose of the CADA is to identify and assess probable regional impacts and to
obtain approval for Total Allowable Development in accordance with the general
guidelines set forth in this Development Order and the CADA. The concept is to
recognize the DDRI boundary as a single area of high intensity development and to
focus the DRI review process primarily on the impacts that Total Allowable Development
within the area will have on land, water, transportation, environmental, community
services, energy and other resources and systems of regional significance. The CADA
seeks a single DRI review process for overall phased development of the DDRI area
rather than requiring each individual DRI scale development within the downtown area to
file for separate DRI reviews.
F. Development within the DDRI boundaries is expected to continue to be accomplished
over an extended period of time by a variety of developers, which may include the City
and other governmental entities. These developers may respond to market demand and
technologies that can only be estimated in the CADA. The CADA and the DO are
intended to serve as flexible guides for planned development of the DDRI Area rather
than a precise blueprint for its development. Therefore, pursuant to Section
380.06(21)(b) Fla. Stat., as amended, the CADA seeks master development approval for
three increments of development over time as set forth in Section 2 and specific
development approval for Increment III, which is the third phase of development
projected for a period ending in 2025. Subsequent incremental applications will need to
be adjusted to more nearly serve as a living guide recognizing the evolution of market
demand and technologies.
G. The DDRI Area contains a total of approximately 927 acres. The CADA proposes Net
New Development within the Project Area for the land uses, quantities and phases
defined herein as Total Allowable Development.
H. The DDRI is not located in an area of critical state concern as designated pursuant to
Section 380.06 Fla. Stat., as amended.
I. A comprehensive review of the probable impacts that will be generated by the DDRI has
been conducted by various City departments and state and regional agencies, as
reflected in the CADA, and the SFRC staff.
J. This Development Order is consistent with the report and recommendations of the
SFRC, entitled "Downtown Miami DRI Increment III Regional Impact Report", dated June
6, 2016. The SFRC recommends approval of the DDRI, and all conditions to which such
approval is subject are reflected herein.
K. The DDRI is consistent with the State comprehensive plan pursuant to Section 187.201,
Fla. Stat.
L. The DDRI is consistent with the adopted Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan.
M. The DDRI as originally approved is in accord with the district zoning classifications of
Zoning Ordinance 9500, as amended. Increment III of the DDRI, as amended, will be
consistent with Zoning Ordinance 13114. as amended, also known as Miami21, the
comprehensive zoning ordinance of the City and other applicable City land development
regulations.
N. The DDRI will have a favorable impact on the economy of the City.
O. The DDRI will efficiently use public transportation facilities.
P. The DDRI will favorably affect the need for people to find adequate
accessible to their places of employment.
Q. The DDRI will efficiently use necessary public facilities.
R. The DDRI will include adequate mitigation measures to assure that
affect the environment and natural resources of the. City.
S. The DDRI will not adversely affect living conditions in the City.
T. The DDRI t will not adversely affect public safety.
U. There is a public need for the Project.

Section 4. Having made the findings of fact contained above, the City Commission
hereby concludes as a matter of law, the following:
A. The City and the DDA are authorized to make application for development approval and
receive a development order.
B. The DDRI complies with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, is consistent
with the orderly development and goals of the City of Miami, and complies with local land
development regulations.
C. The DDRI does not unreasonably interfere with the achievement of the objectives of the
adopted State land development plan applicable to the City of Miami or the Regional
Plan for South Florida.
D. The DDRI is consistent with the report and recommendations of the SFRC and does not
unreasonably interfere with any of the considerations and objectives set forth in Section
380.06 Fla. Stat., as amended.
Section 5. The City Clerk is directed to immediately send certified copies of this
ordinance and all exhibits attached hereto to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity,
the SFRC, and the DDA.
Section 6. The City Manager is hereby directed to take all actions necessary to fulfill
the City's obligations under the terms of the DDRI Increment III Development Order.
