The 1982 Redevelopment Plan has not been effective in the Redevelopment Area, due to the lack of financing ability by the CRA and private enterprises. The need to update the 1982 Plan and provide a financ- ing strategy for the implementation of the CRA's activities in the Redevelopment Area has become imminent due to the contin- ued existence of "Slum and Blight" within the Redevelopment Area boundaries. It is the intent of this extensive amendment of the 1982 Redevelopment Plan to address ways in which the CRA can maximize op- portunities presented by current initiatives and trends and transform Southeast Over- town/Park West into a thriving mixed -use neighborhood and commercial hub in the heart of downtown, as provided for by this revised Community Redevelopment Plan. This update reflects the extension of the CRA's term to include the remaining years allowed by Florida Statute 163.385(1) (A) to 2042. Topics Frequently Asked by Neighborhood Stakeholders Every Redevelopment Area has certain urgent concerns and problems that the community wants addressed. While a num- ber of these issues can be resolved through local government, some of these issues need to be remedied by members of the community. Adopting Redevelopment Plans and cre- ating community redevelopment agencies are not solutions in themselves, but only vehicles to get to solutions. There needs to be grass -root efforts to further stimulate interest in, education of, and visions for the revitalization of the redevelopment neigh- borhoods. Overtown and Park West stake- holders frequently ask questions about: • Affordable housing for existing residents. • Places to work and creation of new jobs for current residents in Overtown and 3.1.a Park West. • Quality of Life; Shopping, entertain- ment, restaurants and attractiveness of community. • Public Safety. Historical Context The Southeast Overtown/Park West Rede- velopment Area encompasses one of the oldest residential and commercial areas of the City of Miami, although few structures of historic or cultural significance remain. Overtown and Park West each have their own historic past, but for practical rea- sons and proximity, their futures are linked together. OVE RTOWN "Overtown" is one of the oldest neigh- borhoods in Miami settled by Bahamians about the time that Miami was founded in the 1890s. They were not allowed to live in the other developing areas of Miami. Jobs available to Overtown residents were mostly associated with Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad Company, the burgeoning tourist service industry, and agriculture. Like in many southern Ameri- can towns, the African American commu- nity lived on the other side of the railroad tracks from most white families, closer to the citrus and pineapple farms. The name Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 18 "Overtown" came from people saying that they were going "over town" to this neigh- borhood. It was also referred to in the past as "Colored Town." The area grew and developed into a vibrant community. African Americans became business owners and established a viable economic community by con- structing schools, homes, churches, hotels, apartments, theaters, night clubs and small neighborhood markets. In the 1920's and 1930's, NW 2nd Avenue was known as "Avenue G," and was a major corridor for entertainment, retail stores, and hotels. Dr. W.B.. Sawyer built the first African American owned hotel in the area in 1921. The population continued to grow until the early 1960's. Desegregation, urban renewal, the Neighborhood Development Program, and construction of the SR-836/I-395 and I-95 expressways significantly changed the character of the neighborhood and tragically, residents from Overtown were scattered and relocated. Economic, physi- cal and social decay became pronounced and has progressively contributed to the decline in the area. Various planning efforts have taken place over the last few decades. For a list of these planning studies, see Appendix A, entitled "Previous Plan Studies." PARK WEST Most of the area currently referred to as Park West was part of the original "Miami" Subdivision platted in 1896 by the principal developers of the early City of Miami, Mary and William Brickell, Julia Tuttle, Henry Flagler, and the Fort Dallas Land Company. While the initial development of Park West focused on residential projects, it soon established a commercial character, in the form of warehouses, associated with its downtown location and proximity to the Port of Miami, when formerly located at the site of present day Bicentennial Park. The name "Park West" derives from this area being located "west" of the "park." Before 1964, this area was basically a ware- house and wholesale district related to the old port. When the port moved, so did the wholesale businesses and storage facilities. Few of the remaining businesses have any functional relation to the port now locat- ed on Dodge Island in Biscayne Bay. New warehouses and container storage areas are provided on Dodge Island and areas 3.1.a west of the Miami International Airport. 21st Century Context The 1982 Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Area encompassed ap- proximately 279 acres of land generally bounded by Biscayne Boulevard on the east; I-95 on the west; I-395 on the north; and NW 5th Street on the south. In 1986, the boundaries were expanded to include the areas bounded by NW 1st Street on the south, Metrorail right-of-way on the west, NW 5th Street on the north, and North Miami Avenue on the east. In 2009 this Plan expanded the SEOPW CRA boundary. In 2018 the plan is being updated to consider additional solutions that will potentially affect the continued existence of "Slum and Blight and the max- imum amount of time allowed by law to rid the area of the conditions that contribute to the existence of "Slum and Blight". In preparation of this planning effort, an evaluation of the existing slum and blight conditions was conducted in the CRA areas. This evaluation revealed that slum and blight conditions persist throughout, providing further justification for extending the SEOPW CRA term. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 19 Addressing and improving these con- ditions is a key purpose of this plan. A summary of the evaluation of slum and blight conditions are set forth in Appendix G, entitled "Assessment of Need Study. Despite its challenges, Southeast Over- town/Park West is advantageously sit- uated between Downtown Miami and the Omni area, Motion Picture/Media ("Media") District, and the Entertainment District, and is near Miami Beach, Miami International Airport, and the regional transportation system. What happens in the larger context will, therefore, shape and be shaped by what happens in Southeast Overtown/Park West. Located directly north of Overtown and Park West, the Omni Media and Entertain- ment Districts are still undergoing a rapid transformation into a regional epicenter of the cultural and performing arts. North East 14th Street just east of the CRA and next door to what is to become the new Miami Innovation district is the regional Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami -Dade County a regional center for the theatrical perform- ing arts. The center includes a 2,200-seat symphony hall, a 2,480- seat ballet/opera house, a 200-seat black box theater, and ancillary support and educational services. The completion of this exciting complex has served as a strong catalyst for rede- velopment, a phenomenon that has been further enhanced by a concerted effort to attract media, arts, and entertainment related businesses and facilities to the neighborhood. South of Overtown and Park West, Down- town Miami's central business district is a flourishing center of international business, finance, telecommunications, government and trade. With over 131,000 workers, 4,000+ hotel rooms, and attrac- tions, such as the Bayside Marketplace, the American Airlines Arena, and the Miami -Dade Cultural Center, Downtown Miami is a dynamic destination that has the potential to positively impact adja- cent neighborhoods such as Southeast Overtown/Park West. Despite its dyna- mism, Downtown Miami once lacked the residential component that was necessary to transform it into a true 24-hour city center. With the latest development boom of 2011-til now, several new residential and mixed -use development projects have been constructed along Biscayne Boulevard and the core of the Park West area of the SEOPW CRA. Most of these developments are viewed as market rate 3.1.a and luxury rate properties with limited accommodation for the middle class or working-class citizens desiring an urban residence. With its advantageous location and untapped redevelopment potential, Southeast Overtown/Park West presents perhaps the best opportunity to develop a livable downtown core. The City of Miami is proactively planning its neighborhoods, and there are several current initiatives that will have a direct impact on the Southeast Overtown/ Park West Redevelopment Area. Plan- ning efforts, such as the "Baylink Draft Environmental Impact Statement" (DEIS), "Bicentennial Park Master Plan," "Down- town Transportation Master Plan," and "Overtown Greenprint Plan" are integral to the redevelopment of the area, and coordination between these efforts is key. Some of the more specific planning projects include: the Flagler Marketplace development in Downtown Miami; rede- velopment of the Omni Mall into a retail, entertainment and office complex; rede- velopment of the Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District as the cornerstone of the planned Folklife Village in South- east Overtown. This plan presents the best opportunity to integrate these initia- tives into a cohesive vision for the area. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 20 The Potential: A Livable City Well -located at the confluence of the Americas, Miami has emerged as the West- ern Hemisphere's international trading center and one of the world's most vibrant and dynamic metropolises. Founded in 1896, Miami quickly established itself as one of the nation's premier tourist desti- nations with its world-renowned climate and natural beauty. Tourism defined the economy for much of the last century and remains a major industry. Nonetheless, the last thirty years have seen an unprece- dented diversification of Miami's economy, as its strategic location, excellent trans- portation linkages, and culturally diverse population have led to its ascent as the "gateway to Latin America" and one of the nation's true international business centers. Greater Miami today is a cosmopolitan metropolis of over two million people, and a leading center of finance, trade, tourism and telecommunications. Despite these advantages, Miami has lacked one of the most important charac- teristics of great world cities — a walkable, mixed -use center that is a desirable place to work, play and live. Bathed in decorative neon light, the Downtown Miami skyline beckons at night, which belies the fact that its streets are virtually deserted. Few of the approximately 131,000 people who work in downtown actually live there. At the close of each business day, they disperse to points north, east, south and west of Miami. While in the recent past, it is true that many would choose a suburban loca- tion regardless, it is also true that Down- town Miami has a shortage of affordable housing and neighborhood services that would make it a viable alternative for those who would otherwise find it a desirable place to both live and work. In the past few decades, Miami has made a concerted effort to take advantage of the new economic realities of globalization and the rise of information technology. Its location provides a competitive advan- tage, as does a relatively well -developed privately initiated and funded technology infrastructure. While that may not have been enough, recent studies indicate that the businesses and workers of the new economy seek out and thrive in mixed- use environments that foster accessibility, so- cial interaction, and the exchange of ideas. This has resulted in a reversal of trends of the 1970's and 1980's, which saw econom- 3.1.a is activity centers move from city centers to suburban office parks and "edge cit- ies" that sprang up overnight. In contrast, the economic activity centers of the new economy are increasingly located in central city neighborhoods like San Francisco's Multimedia Gulch, the Digital Harbor in Baltimore, and downtown San Jose. With its strategic location and untapped redevelopment potential, the Southeast Overtown/Park West neighborhood pres- ents the best opportunity for the develop- ment of a thriving, mixed -use economic and activity center in Miami's downtown. This plan charts a course to fully realizing Southeast Overtown/Park West's possibil- ities. History of the CRA On July 29, 1982, the Miami City Commis- sion, by Resolution No. 82-755, approved the Southeast Overtown/Park West Com- munity Redevelopment Plan. On December 7, 1982, the Board of County Commission- ers of Miami -Dade County, by Resolution No. R-1677-82, approved the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevel- opment Plan. On March 31, 1983, the City and the County executed an Interlocal Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 21 Agreement which provided for the delega- tion of redevelopment powers to the City and the establishment of the redevelop- ment trust fund to receive tax increment revenues. In 1985 the Park West area was included in the CRA's then -existing bound- aries. During the summer of 2002, the SEOPW CRA Board proposed to expand the boundaries to include some of the ar- eas of Overtown west of Interstate 95 and areas surrounding NW 3rd Avenue north of Interstate 395. This boundary expan- sion was later adopted by the Miami City Commission on July 28, 2002, pursuant to Ordinance No. 12247. Notwithstanding, no action was taken by the Board of County Commissioners of Miami -Dade County on this boundary expansion. On December 31, 2007, the City, the County, the SEOPW CRA, and the Omni Redevelopment District Community Rede- velopment Agency entered into an Inter - local Agreement to provide for, among other things, the expansion of the South- east Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Area and the extension of its life. Pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement, the parties agreed that the CRA would cause a Find- ing of Necessity report to be prepared in which the conditions of slum and blight within the Redevelopment Area would be documented, and to cause an update to the 2009 Amendment to the Redevelop- ment Plan to be prepared. Extending the Life of the CRA Section 163.361(3)(a), Florida Statutes, provides that the CRA may recommend a change in the boundaries or extend the time set forth in the Redevelopment Plan it becomes necessary to amend or modify the Redevelopment Plan. The advantages to extending the term of the SEOPW CRA is to continue its efforts to rid Slum and Blight in the area as evidenced by the As- sessment of Need Study of 2018 and use the SEOPW CRA's resources to incentivize and facilitate redevelopment in the more disadvantaged areas of the CRA. Revisions from the Original CRA Re- development Plan The Southeast Overtown/Park West Com- munity Redevelopment Plan, Revised December 1982 (sometimes referred to as "the '82 Plan") was prepared for two primary reasons: 1) To establish the need for a CRA; and 2) To guide the SEOPW CRA's redevelop- ment activities. This document is the extensive 2018 amendment to the Southeast Overtown/ Park West Community Redevelopment Plan. This document replaces the previous 3.1.a 2009 amendment to the Redevelopment Plan and the "82 Plan" and is hereafter referred to as the "Community Redevel- opment Plan amendment and update" or "Redevelopment Plan Update" Findings of Necessity Section 163.355, state that "[n]o county or municipality shall exercise the community redevelopment authority ..., until after the governing body has adopted a resolution, supported by data and analysis, which makes a legislative finding that the condi- tions in the area meet the statutory defini- tion of "slum" and "blight." In 1969, the Board of County Commission- ers of Miami -Dade County, by Resolution No. R-1117-69 approved the Central Miami Renewal Plan ("CMRP"). The CMRP examined the area south of NW 20th Street; west of the FEC Railroad, with an extension to NE. 2nd Avenue; east of I-95; and north of the Miami River. It was amended on January 20, 1981, to include the areas bounded on the west and south by the FEC tracks; on the east by Biscayne Boulevard; and on the north by I-395, as well as the area bounded on the south by I-395; on the east by Biscayne Boulevard; on the north by NW 17th Street in part, and the City of Miami Cemetery in part; and on the west by the FEC tracks. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 22 While the areas were found to meet the definition of "slum" and "blight," only a portion of this area was included in the original SEOPW CRA Redevelopment Area. Most of the conditions described in the 1982 Plan are still prevalent today in the existing Redevelopment Area, in that, there is still a decline in population, marginal retail facilities, and an excessive amount of vacant and underdeveloped properties. Most of the multi -family buildings, single family houses, and duplexes suffer from structural deterioration. Most of retail buildings are vacant, making the vacancy rate of commercial uses greater than fifty percent. In June 2018, in accordance with Section 163.355, and as required by the Interlo- cal Agreement dated December 31, 2007, the SEOPW CRA caused an Assessment of Need Study (Assessment) ("2018 Assess- ment") to be prepared in which the area was examined to determine whether condi- tions of slum and blight were present. The 2018 Assessment provided evidence of the following: • Predominance of defective or inade- quate street layout, parking facilities, roadways, and public transportation; • Faulty lot layout in relation to size, • Adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness; • Unsanitary or unsafe conditions due to environmental contamination; • Site and structural deterioration; • Existence of crime; and • Physical and economic conditions conducive to disease, infant mortali- ty, poverty, and crime because of the predominance of dilapidated, deteri- orating, antiquated and obsolescent buildings and the existence of condi- tions that endanger life and property by fire and other causes. The 2018 Assess- ment concluded that the existence of slum and blight conditions within the Redevelopment Area, if left unattend- ed, would persist. These conditions will lead to an economic and social liability to the City of Miami and could con- sume additional County and municipal resources to address the myriad of issues outlined above, while reducing the local tax base. Assessment of Need Study On June 26, 2018, the CRA board accepted and adopted an Assessment of Need Study. This Assessment of Need Study (Asess- ment) prepared pursuant to Miami -Dade County Resolution No. R-611-15, which established the guidelines policy for the preparation and submission of an assess- ment whenever a Community Redevelop- ment Agency "CRA" petitions to extend the life of the CRA.

They guide the agency's public policy, ap- propriation of funds, and priorities in elim- inating the conditions of slum and blight within the Redevelopment Area. The goals are: 1. Preserve Historic Buildings and Cultural Heritage; by incorporating the Cultural Arts as a critical component of Econom- ic Development through public private partnerships . 2. Expand the Tax Base using Public -Pri- vate principles; by following the current land use policies for sound real estate acquisitions, assemblage, development, and creating viable commercial corri- dors within the SEOPW CRA through Public -Private Partnerships. 3. Provide and Retain Housing Afford- ability; working with the City of Miami, Miami -Dade County and the private sector to encourage and create a sound balance of very low-income housing, af- fordable, workforce and mixed -income housing within the CRA. 4. Create jobs within the community; by targeting commercial and cultural ventures that will provide life sustain- able jobs to residents in the Overtown community. 5. Promote and Market the Community —as a Cultural and Entertainment Desti- nation rich in history with a distinctive and strong sense of place that is at- tractive to families and individuals of all backgrounds making the SEOPW area a unique community. 6. Improve the Quality of Life for resi- dents; creating housing, recreation and work environments where healthy out- comes are the result of a planned and sustainable effort designed to improve the quality of life for Overtown resi- dents in the CRA. 3.1.a 7. Promote Entrepreneurship and Tech- nology Innovations; by working with the private sector to encourage the creation of opportunities through new technol- ogy for service delivery, and public & private partnerships that will assist in helping small businesses build capacity. 8. Ensure that Transit connects to the Employment Centers of Miami Dade County and Parking is efficient. 9. Foster safe community initiatives to provide for public safety through Com- munity Policing Innovations. This Redevelopment Plan identifies four- teen guiding principles. The numbering of goals and principles in this plan is not intended to imply a prioritization of impor- tance. All goals and principles are of equal importance to the revitalization of the SEOPW Community Redevelopment Agen- cy. The matrix on the next page shows that all the Guiding Principles work toward more than one goal. Following the Matrix, each of the Guiding Principles are further explained.

Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 27 Guiding Principles All actions affecting the Redevelopment Area by a government entity, agency, service provider, or private property owner are to be judged according to the Guiding Principles and the Land Use Regulations described in Section 3. If any new projects or efforts are being proposed that are not identified in Section 4, then their relevance should be judged by the goals and the following principles. Principle 1: The community must be livable. Land uses, and transportation systems must be coordinated with each other. The most important combination to make a community livable is to have land uses and transportation systems working together in concert. Ideally, a successful neighbor- hood will offer the opportunity to reside, work, and carry out the other activities of daily life (i.e., shopping, recreation, enter- tainment, religious and cultural events, education, etc.) all within an area of com- fortable walking distance. To achieve this, a thoughtful mix of residential, employment, commercial and community- serving uses should be promoted by the City and CRA in a densely developed and well- designed urban fabric. Neighborhood -serving com- mercial uses, such as pharmacies, grocery stores, bank branches, dry cleaners, restau- rants, day care facilities, and entertainment establishments (i.e. bowling alleys, cinemas, etc.) should be incorporated into the neigh- borhood fabric to serve the population and reduce automobile dependency. Also, civic buildings and community -serving uses such as schools, libraries, police stations, fire stations, and parks should be provided and located in such a manner as to create community focal points and strengthen neighborhood identity. Great cities are built up from groups of such neighborhoods. Transportation modes must be balanced and varied too, so that one can choose to walk, drive, take a taxi, or ride a bike, a bus, or community transit in the form of Metro - rail or Metromover. Overtown and Park West can be thought of as a group of neighborhoods. To reposition Southeast Overtown/Park West as a livable area, a mixture of housing types, service es- tablishments, and employment centers must be provided within each of these neighbor- hoods. Though no two neighborhoods are exactly alike, neighborhoods are traditionally about one -quarter mile from center to edge, for several reasons. This is thought by scholars to be a dimension within which residents can come to know many of their neighbors 3.1.a well and form a detailed "mental map" of their daily territory. This helps explain why the ten-minute walk diameter can be ob- served in historical settlements from many time periods, and in cultures all around the world. Perhaps more importantly today, most people are willing to walk distances ap- proximately ten minutes away before choosing another mode of transportation, provided they are presented with a pedes- trian- friendly, safe environment. To reduce unnecessary car trips and dependence on the automobile, the most livable neighbor- hoods in modern cities include an array of residential, business, retail, and neighbor- hood -serving uses within that ten-minute area. While today's technology offers mul- tiple means of transportation, "walkability" remains a key component of the vibrant and healthy neighborhood and an important de- terminant of neighborhood boundaries. Superimposing a ten-minute walking diam- eter on Southeast Overtown/Park West, and a review of historic development patterns, reveals that the area is comprised of five distinct neighborhoods: Park West/Down- town, Overtown, including the Overtown Cultural Entertainment District, Overtown Communities, Historic Overtown Business Corridor and Overtown Culmer Community. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 28 Determining how to improve infrastructure services and the provision of uses in each of these smaller neighborhoods is the most ef- fective strategy for improving the area. The vision of this Redevelopment Plan is, there- fore, to improve the Redevelopment Area by transforming it into a group of healthy mixed -use neighborhoods and connect- ing those neighborhoods with a variety of transportation options. Principle 2: The neighborhood must retain access to affordable housing even as the neighborhood becomes more desirable to households with greater means. Based on comments and discussions made at various community meetings in Overtown and Park West, it is quite clear that there is consensus among existing residents, former residents, CRA and City staff, and elected officials that Overtown must retain afford- able housing, and our priority to affordable housing and job opportunities must be given to existing and former residents of Overtown. The SEOPW CRA's Housing Poli- cy is stated in this Redevelopment Plan and can be found in Section 6. Principle 3: There must be variety in housing options. Affordable housing in Downtown Miami and the neighborhoods of Southeast Overtown/ Park West is extremely limited. The exist- ing inventory consists of two main options, lower -priced substandard houses and apart- ments and luxury rate housing. This lack of residential alternatives inhibits efforts to foster a 24-hour downtown and limits op- tions for those who would otherwise choose to reside in a center city location. A mix of market rate and affordable housing units and types, including rental units, own- ership units, multi -family units, single- fami- ly units, and accessory apartments, is nec- essary to accommodate the diversity and lifestyles of existing and future residents. The Overtown and Park West of the future will take advantage of their urban character and infrastructure and provide an attrac- tive array of residential choices for current and new residents. The neighborhoods must ensure the integration of different economic sectors to stimulate a positive shaping of the urban space. Principle 4: There must be variety in employment opportunities. Employment options should be located within the neighborhoods to accommodate those who wish to reduce dependence on the automobile and long commutes. As with access to affordable housing, there appears to be consensus in the community that em- ployment opportunities be made available to existing residents of Overtown as a high priority. 3.1.a Principle 5: Walking within the neigh- borhood must be accessible, safe, and pleasant. Streets have many responsibilities. They act as a system for movement, providing mobility and ways to move around the City. Even more importantly, their right-of-way serves as the "front door" to private proper- ties. The character and design of the street, and thus the resulting "curb appeal," have a direct correlation to the type and quality of development projects, real estate val- ues, and economic potential that exist in a community. Providing a range of choices for moving safely and comfortably throughout the neighborhood is an integral function of the city street network. Neighborhood streets should therefore be designed to accommo- date several transportation choices, includ- ing walking, bicycles, mopeds, automobiles, and mass transit. The provision of a con- tinuous, two-way street grid in Southeast Overtown/Park West will increase acces- sibility and reduce congestion, while the provision of wide shaded sidewalks, walk- able block sizes, on -street parking, bicycle paths, and transit services increases the range of choices for moving to, from, and within the Redevelopment Area. Creating pedestrian- friendly streets encourages the development of street -level businesses and natural surveillance. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 29 development of street -level businesses and natural surveillance. Principle 6: Local cultural events, institutions, and businesses are to be promoted. For Southeast Overtown/Park West to achieve its full potential, it is necessary to address and improve the neighbor- hood economy and expand the economic opportunities of present and future res- idents and businesses. This entails both the support and enhancement of existing businesses and local entrepreneurs and the attraction of new businesses that provide needed services and economic opportu- nities. New economy business centers are characterized by concentrations of com- peting but complementary businesses that are driven by the advantages of co -loca- tion. Redevelopment efforts should actively identify opportunities for Southeast Over- town/Park West to capitalize on this trend. Principle 7: The City and County must provide access to small parks and green spaces of an urban character. Access to public parks and green spaces is a key element of quality of life in urban neighborhoods, as natural environments provide essential respite in an urban envi- ronment. Therefore, it is vital that a series of green spaces and parks, preferably linked by greenways, be developed with- in each neighborhood and that existing green spaces and parks be enhanced to provide a genuine amenity to the quality of life for existing and future residents. These green spaces, parks, and greenways will be an important element in develop- ing and maintaining community aesthetics and identity, providing recreational and social opportunities for residents and visitors, and attracting new residents and businesses. Principle 8: Older buildings that em- body the area's cultural past should be restored. Older buildings in the Redevelopment Area are physical reminders of the communi- ty's heritage and enhance the experience of giving it a richness that cannot easily be obtained once the buildings are lost. Unfortunately, far too many of the historic buildings identified in the 1982 Plan have been demolished despite the efforts of The Black Archives History and Research Foun- dation of South Florida, Inc. and other local initiatives. Principle 9: New and rehabilitated buildings must respond to our climate and reflect the community's cultural heritage. Established neighborhoods are distin- guished by architecture that is indicative of their history, climate, and function. 3.1.a Successful redevelopment efforts capitalize on these elements rather than imposing development that is disconnected from what has come before. South Beach pro- vides an excellent example of this concept in action; its redevelopment was predicat- ed on its rich architectural heritage and history, and as a result, has been wildly successful. The five (5) neighborhoods that comprise Southeast Overtown / Park West Redevelopment Area boast unique features and architecture that reflect their history and function. The redevelopment of these neighborhoods should occur with- in the context of these histories and new development should acknowledge the past traditions and further their future. When- ever possible, buildings of architectural merit should be adapted to new needs and creatively reused. Principle 10: Streets and buildings must be attractive. Neighborhoods are defined by their public realm, the spaces between buildings. The streets, sidewalks, parks, greenways, and civic uses bring the community together and link it to the outside world fostering a distinctive community. A vibrant and engaging public realm serves as the neigh- borhood's canvas and lifeblood, a means for inspiring and captivating residents and visitors. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 30 Sound urban design, attractive buildings, and streetscapes are essential to having streets that are both functional and visually attractive. Looks are important to current residents who will feel community pride when receiving pleasant comments about where they live. Looks are important to at- tracting investors to make other improve- ments to the neighborhood. To have attractive, pedestrian -friendly urban streets, buildings must be set close together, and building heights and road widths must be compatible. Building walls with their windows and doors, that open to the street, should come together to form a continuous facade. Maintenance of public streets and spaces must occur in a consistent manner. Private property owners must do their part too, paint buildings when they start to peel or fade and clean up yards or vacant proper- ties. If the owners are not inspired to make improvements or repairs when the need becomes visually obvious, then it is Code Enforcement's job to deliver a citation to them. Principle 11: 24-hour environments should be encouraged. A common feature of prosperous metro- politan cores is a "24-hour environment": a broad and diverse offering of cultural, entertainment, and recreational options that attract and engage residents and visitors on weekends and after the workday ends. This environment encourages social interaction and is a catalyst for economic vitality and attracting businesses and resi- dents. Southeast Overtown and Park West provide an excellent opportunity to create the 24-hour environment that Downtown Miami lacks. Principle 12: Identifiable neighborhood centers are to be established in a distributed pattern within Overtown and Park West. Cohesive neighborhoods have strong cen- ters, identifiable from their concentration of higher density residential, commercial, and civic uses, and/or a signature public open space such as a park, square or plaza. The neighborhood center helps ensure the provision of various uses within a walkable 3.1.a area and is essential to the establishment of neighborhood identity. Neighborhood centers should be developed in each of the five neighborhoods that comprise the Redevelopment Area. Principle 13: The zoning and other development regulations should pro- mote walkability, connectivity, mixed - use and density of housing products and commercial space. The current code adopted in 2009, Miami 21 focuses on a method of regulating development to achieve a specific urban form. This form would allow the SEOPW CRA to have development that takes into consideration the relationship between streets, pedestrians and public space. This would yield the results envisioned in this Community Redevelopment Plan. Principle 14: Restore a sense of community and unify the area culturally. The SEOPW CRA needs to do whatever is in its power to bring back the vitality that once gave Overtown its character, sense of place, and cultural distinctiveness.

This map shows a "snapshot" of the current ownership and should not be viewed as an end result. (To obtain a copy of the most updated property ownership map, contact the City of Miami's Planning Department). Addi- tional properties may need to be purchased and some currently owned may need to be sold to reach the goals of this Redevelopment Plan. Properties that would be ideal for the CRA to purchase are purposefully not identified in the plan, to avoid costly problems in time and money associated with land speculation. These problems have already hindered the CRA's performance over the past twenty years. Required CRA Actions: 1. Continue to evaluate and negotiate future land purchases to meet the goals of the Redevelopment Plan. 2. Evaluate and advertise public -private development opportunities, utilizing the land owned by the CRA in furtherance of the goals set forth herein. 3. Coordinate with other private and public entities for the development of surplus real property within the Redevelopment Area that will further the goals set forth herein. 3.1.a SEOPW CRA PROPERTY OWNERSHIP 1- r/ SEOPW CRA BND - COM PROP COM CRA PROP ▪ COM SEO PROP _ SEOPW PROP ▪ MDC PROP STATE OF FL PROP ▪ SCH BOARD PROP _ UM PROP MDCC PROP Mien Seetall E. at ' to F NRCAN, OeoEe mretede and me anu trtz veennei .x inie x P carp.

Urban dwellers do not have the luxury of large amounts of private open space in their rear gardens and back yards. Instead, urban living highlights the enjoyment of pedestri- an- friendly streets and public spaces (parks, squares, greens, greenways, and plazas). Creating and maintaining high -qual- ity public spaces is necessary for the Redevelopment Area to achieve its potential. Of the five neighborhoods that have been identified, only Overtown, west of the Interstate, has adequate open space. The acquisition of land to create these public spaces and the necessary construction and mainte- nance is possible through a variety of means. Required CRA Actions: 1. Acquire more land for publicly accessible green space for active and passive recreational use. 2. Coordinate with the City of Miami's Planning & Zoning Departments to improve public safety with natural sur- veillance; requiring that neighboring buildings front all public spaces with doors and windows. 3. Coordinate with the City of Miami's Parks Department on the installation and maintenance of public spaces. 4. Require development projects within the Redevelopment Area to maintain green spaces within project scope. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848: Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 36 Ways to acquire more land: Land Swaps The City and CRA can directly exchange properties with property owners. For ex- ample, if property that is in a good location for a park is privately owned, and the CRA owns land that is a suitable development site, then the CRA could swap land with the private property owner. The community gets a park where it makes sense and the original owner gets a good development opportunity. Revolving fund for public lands The County, City, and CRA can create a re- volving fund for public lands. For example, suppose the CRA needed to consolidate several properties to make an adequate- ly large green space. It already owns or recently purchased a few of the parcels, but one or two remaining owners hold out and refuse to sell. To avoid the need to use eminent domain, the CRA could give up and decide to sell the land recently pur- chased. The revenue from the sale could be put into a fund and used later in an- other location for acquiring land for green space. This may require specific transaction controls. Purchase the land outright The CRA Board can, as it has in the past, purchase the land outright for a fair market value. Assistance can be sought from the County, City, State, and the Trust for Public Land to expedite the purchase of land. Matching grants can be pursued. Land Pooling Land pooling is the consolidation of small landholdings for their unified planning, servicing, subdivision and redistribution. This method for land assemblage provides many opportunities including the shared cost and returns of land subdivision be- tween the landowners in an equitable way at no cost to the CRA and the or- derly design of the subdivision layout for the planned urban land use. This process would counter excessive land speculation and ensure an adequate supply of land for development purpose. Ask for donations The CRA can ask property owners to donate their land for public use. The old expression still holds true, "It doesn't hurt to ask." Proper maintenance of public spaces New public spaces are best maintained through taxing districts applied to the neighborhood and adjacent properties. These plazas and green spaces will be relatively small in comparison to other City of Miami parks. Maintenance, including grass, tree, and shrub planting, landscape mowing and clipping, emptying of garbage cans, litter cleanup, and pressure cleaning paved surfaces should be 3.1.a provided by the City of Miami. These services can also be provided by locally owned businesses through an incentive program. Recreational facilities and func- tions should also be provided as part of City or County programs. The CRA can also coordinate with local churches, civic groups, or organizations that are willing to donate the time and resources to maintain public spaces. Successful Small Urban Parks & Squares: The following are qualities that make small parks and squares safe and usable: 1. Design matters more than acreage or uses or luxury. 2. Natural surveillance is essential. 3. Enliven the place with regular activity. 4. Shape the public space with carefully placed trees and buildings surrounding its edges. 5. Open and frame the views into and from within the space. 6. Pedestrian access is all-important. 7. Calm the traffic, beautifully. 8. Provide shade. 9. Provide flexible open space for diverse functions; do not fill up the park with excess equipment. 10. Reserve places for symbols of civic pride and uniqueness. 11. Plan for sustained care and mainte- nance. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 37 Transportation System: SMART Plan, Brightline and Tri-Rail Plans Successful urban environments are sup- ported by a variety of mobility choices, thereby affording residents the freedom to move about comfortably, whether on foot, bicycle, via transit or automobile. In contrast, areas designed primarily around the automobile do not provide the level of mobility and access necessary to create vibrant places with an active street life. Part of the challenge of redeveloping Park West and Overtown is poor mobility and access. Mobility is the ability to travel over distances. Access is the ability to get to a destination —to get to the door. This con- dition has been created through a com- bination of barriers such as the Interstate Highways and the elevated Metrorail, and further compounded by the system of one- way streets. The one-way streets discour- age motorists from comfortably circulating within the area. These streets also create "straight- aways" that encourage motorists to speed and make it unsafe for pedestri- ans to cross streets. Although rail cargo and the elevat- ed transit facilities of Metrorail and the Metromover are positive features in the neighborhood, there are some specific negative effects that these have on adja- cent properties and streets. The physical plan attempts to suggest ways to dimin- ish these negative effects and maximize the positive ones through the location of buildings and public spaces. Required CRA Actions: Restoring the urban fabric and mitigating some of the negative impacts of previous transportation improvements are possible through a set of changes carried out in concert. These include: 1. Advocate, fund, and/or facilitate the re- establishment of the traditional urban network of streets and restoration of missing links in the street grid. 2. Advocate, fund, and/or build pedestri- an- friendly street improvements. 3. Promote the return of two-way streets. 4. Advocate, facilitate, and construct on - street parking. 5. Assist with solutions to any noise, access, and privacy problems associ- ated with properties along the rail and transit routes. 6. Develop pedestrian compatible com- munity transit system to link all South- east Overtown, Park West, and the nearby Central Business District and Omni area. 3.1.a 7. Explore the possibility of a pedestrian zone adjacent to the Overtown Met- rorail Station to enhance intermodal transfers. Re-establishing the tradition- al urban network of streets. Throughout the Redevelopment Area, the traditional urban block structure has been altered. In several locations, streets have been eliminated, and the network com- promised. This has created super -blocks, some of which are 1,100 feet long or even longer. These blocks are unusually large and do not fit with the established grain and size of the original street system and blocks, making navigation needlessly diffi- cult. Super -blocks limit both vehicular and pedestrian access, causing an unnecessary waste of time and fuel for motorists and longer distances to travel for pedestrians. Newly created or connected streets should generally do the following: 1. Be designed as two-way streets with on -street parking; 2. Be of a similar right-of-way width to the segments of existing streets with which connections are being re-estab- lished; and, 3. Provide pedestrian -friendly street improvements in this section. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 38 3.1.a Reestablishing the Traditional Urban Network of Streets There are some locations within the Redevelop- ment Area where streets are fenced off or blocked by highways, rail lines, and the Metrorail. If for some reason vehicular access cannot be achieved in these locations, then every effort needs to be made to at least open them up for safe pedestrian access. In contrast to the large super -blocks, there are several locations where existing blocks are ex- tremely small. On a very limited basis, it may be advisable to close some of the intermediate streets to form blocks of a size more conducive to infill development. This should be evaluated on a case - by -case basis and not adopted as an overall policy. The merits of enlarging a block include: • Selling the rights -of -way and using the pro- ceeds toward the purchase of public green space or for rights -of -way needed elsewhere. • Increasing the legibility of the major streets. • Directing and organizing routes of travel with- out diminishing the primary street system. • Providing a larger development site for con- temporary buildings that may need more room for mid -block parking. «< Map showing locations where the street grid should be opened.

Strategies to make streets pedestrian friendly include: • Create a two-way street system. Two-way streets have calmer traffic than one-way streets, because drivers are more cautious when adjacent to oncoming traffic. • Provide on -street parking to create a safety buffer between pedestrians on the sidewalk and moving vehicles, and assist ground level retail, restaurants, and busi- nesses. • Create narrow travel lanes to discourage speeding, and conserve the much -need- ed space for on -street parking and wider sidewalks. •Maintain and create small curb radii, which will require motorists to slow down when turning at intersections. •At neighborhood centers and intermodal pedestrian zones provide a rough road surface (bricks or cobble stones, etc.) that discourage speeds beyond 20 mph) Creating continuity on the streets is also a top priority. Sidewalks should be designed to encourage ground level businesses and pedestrian activity from block to block. In particular: •Create wide sidewalks that allow pedes- trians to walk side -by -side as well as pass each other and allow outdoor dining to be part of the street scene. • Shade pedestrian paths. This is an absolute necessity in the South Florida climate. While shade trees should be in- stalled wherever practical, in general shade trees are not as effective in providing shade as projecting elements on buildings such as awnings and colonnades. There- fore, these features should be facilitated by zoning and mandated as part of CRA-fund- ed projects. • Minimize crosswalk distance to limit the amount of time when pedestrians are walking in the travel lanes. Promoting the Return of Two -Way Streets The existing street system within the Re- development Area contains a multitude of one-way streets. These are unfavorable to the future success of the area for sev- eral reasons. One-way streets increase the speed of traffic, thereby reducing pedestri- an activity. Retail has great difficulty thriv- ing on one-way streets— not only is their drive -by volume cut in half, but each street is traversed primarily by either the morning 3.1.a or the evening commuters, and therefore, hours of high visibility are limited. Creating a two-way street system will alleviate these problems and help to orient those traveling within the street system. Conversion to two-way streets must be treated as a priority. All three scenarios in the Downtown Trans- portation Master Plan include improving the streets into a two-way street system. The Downtown Transportation Master Plan's study area is east of I-95. Areas of Overtown west of I-95 are currently set up as one-way streets. To extend and com- plete the system of two-way streets, the following streets should be converted as well: loth Street, llthStreet, 5th Street, and 6th Street between I-95 and NW 7th Avenue. Rail and Transit Routes Rail: The Brightline rail line that runs along NW 1st Avenue north to Ft Lauderdale and West Palm Beach serves a useful purpose, but the tracks themselves form a formida- ble barrier physically separating the Park West and Overtown neighborhoods. To diminish the physical separation be- tween Overtown and Park West, more Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 42 pedestrian friendly crossings are needed at 8th, loth, and llth Streets. Preferably these crossings will be for both pedestrians and vehicles; however, priority should be given to pedestrian crossings. Transit Routes In November 2002, the People's Trans- portation Plan ("PTP") was approved by the voters of Miami -Dade County. The new transportation Plan added numerous rapid transit corridors to the existing Met- rorail system, which currently serves only a limited area, linking the remainder of the greater metropolitan region. Having the convenience of Metrorail in Overtown is advantageous for the resi- dents; however, the physical structure of the elevated rail has a negative impact on the neighborhood with the following problems: The elevated tracks further break up the neighborhood into little pieces by separating neighbors and commercial streets. The space underneath the rail lines is generally unlit and unsupervised, making it unsafe, especially at night The noise from the trains makes the adjacent properties less desirable as places to live. Although the appearance isn't un- sightly, it isn't beautiful either. Strategic Miami Rapid Transit Plan "SMART PLAN" A key idea from the SMART PLAN initiative would be for the CRA to seek a partnership with Miami Dade County under the Trans- portation initiative to explore the funding opportunities and options for linking the EAST -WEST Corridor and/or the Beach Corridor through Park West to the Over- town/Downtown transportation hub. Required CRA Actions: The CRA needs to immediately consider and approve these transportation projects as intermodal projects and seek the 3.1.a support for these projects from the Miami City Commission, the Board of County Commissioners of Miami -Dade County, and the Miami -Dade Transportation Plan- ning Organization ("TPO"), A map has been included in this Redevel- opment Plan for reference. The details of the routes, systems, and parking garage locations may change as the system is closer to implementation. I a ! Rapid Transit ' +: Affirm!! Lakes (SMART) Plan.‘::: 9a a TPA MlambOad.

Brightline has partnered with the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority's Tri- Rail with funding from the SEOPW CRA to begin service in 2019 from the Miami 79th Street Metromover transfer station to the Brightline Miami Central station in Over - town. The expanding transportation connectivity options strengthen the economy and interconnectivity across the region for residents in the CRA Redevelopment Area. 3.1.a Miami Springs 5rr—• Oi.oir,, 1- — Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 44 Parking Having more than enough spaces in sur- face parking lots can fragment the urban environment and looks unsightly, while having too few spaces can frustrate resi- dents and patrons. However, if individual property owners maximize the amount of parking that can be created on each private lot, and meet 1970s-style parking ratio expectations, the result would be at best a blighted, unsuccessful aspiring suburb rather than a pleasant, walkable urban environment. More commonly, high parking requirements make small -scaled infill developments too difficult and costly. Therefore, the CRA should promote a balanced strategy that seeks to use space efficiently and facilitate a system -wide ap- proach. Parking should be treated among matters of public infrastructure rather than just as a private endeavor on private prop- erties. The CRA should not enter the busi- ness of parking but can help implement projects that can be managed privately or by the Miami Parking Authority. Required CRA Actions: 1. Advocate, fund, and/or build on -street parking spaces in any future redevel- opment efforts within public rights - of -way. 2. Support a reform of off-street parking regulations to be adopted by the City of Miami to reduce the unnecessary burden on private developers. Tojumpstart re- development, new businesses in existing buildings should be exempt from parking requirements to reduce their startup costs and therefore their financial risks. Providing and Retaining On -Street Parking On -street parking provides motorists with access to street level businesses. These businesses can capture the attention of both pedestrians and drive -by motorists. On -street parking also creates a comfort- able pedestrian environment by buffering pedestrians from vehicles in the travel lanes. Sidewalks automatically become active with pedestrians because of people getting in and out of their cars parked in the on -street spaces. Existing on -street parking throughout the Redevelopment Area should be main- tained. The potential for adding on -street parking to streets where it is not currently provided should be explored when road- way improvements occur over time. All new and improved streets within the Re- development Area should be designed to include on -street parking. Off-street Parking In overly car -dependent regions such as South Florida, each development will com- 3.1.a monly attempt to provide for their own parking on -site with a parking structure or parking lot. In urban areas, some of the negative effects of storing large quantities of cars on each site are: • Experiencing gaps between buildings, from parking lots, when walking down a sidewalk is disruptive for retail environ- ments. Shoppers are easily turned off by these gaps and will often stop shopping or pause and turn around if it looks like there are not any worthwhile destinations down the street. • Parking structures greatly increase the costs to develop a building. This makes market rate and workforce housing, for example, more difficult to find in central urban areas, where such housing is pri- marily needed. Luxury apartment dwellers more easily absorb the cost of the parking garages. • Development that includes parking structures require larger parcels to create functional structures and financially via- ble projects. This generally requires the projects to be large in scale, and therefore harder to finance and harder to fit within the fabric of the neighborhood. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 45 •Parking structures associated with one building do not necessarily create a "shared" situation, which can reduce the overall needed parking spaces. The concept of shared parking means that at night an apartment resident can use the same parking space used by an office employee during the day. In the suburban model, office buildings and residential buildings are not typically designed to share parking; nor is the building management company in the business of managing parking. Without shared parking, the inefficient result is that more money is spent, and more land is utilized for parking than is necessary.

Developers of new buildings will not have to provide as much of their own parking as they did in the past. The CRA can do its part by participating in pub- lic -private ventures to build shared parking facilities. This will take the burden off local property owners interested in redeveloping or improving their properties and buildings. Reducing the Impact of Parking Garages: To diminish the visual and negative impact of parking garages, these guidelines should be followed: • No blank walls of parking garages or walls with openings to the parking garage should directly face public streets. • A "liner" of habitable space with a minimum depth of twenty feet should be constructed between the street and the garage portion of the building. Ground floors of garages may contain lobby en- trances, entrances to parking, and should also contain retail space. Recommended liner building depths are thirty to forty feet for residential and office, fifty to sixty feet for retail. First floor residential uses should be raised a minimum of two feet above the average sidewalk grade. • Gates or payment kiosks should be atleast forty feet from the sidewalk if the entrance is on a street. • Wherever possible, entrances to the park- ing garage should be from an alley or side street. • For safety reasons, garages should be well lit during all hours of operation and pa- trolled by security officers.

Zoning Ordinance 9500 adopted in 1982 introduced the mixed -use con- cept in land development. 2. Zoning Ordinance 11000 adopted in 1990 replaced Zoning Ordinance 9500 to simplify the Ordinance and clarify parking and set back requirements for residential developments. The new ordinance increased parking require- ments for new developments, such as apartments, doubled the minimum lot size to address additional parking for businesses. It allowed developers to raze adjacent properties to provide the additional parking needs of their de- velopments. It also increased setbacks requirements for front yards of new homes from loft. to 20 ft. Zoning Ordinance 11000 introduced the concept of zoning bonuses to allow an increase in the size of projects by 25%, paying a fee of $6.67 for each extra square foot toward a city fund to assist in financing subsidized housing. Through these incentives projects were developed in the SEOPW Redevelop- ment Area. Zoning Ordinance 11000 has been amended several times to ad- dress the new demands of the market. 3. MIAMI 21 Zoning Ordinance- "New Ur- banism", adopted in 2009 has created opportunities for walkable, neighbor- hood -based development to provide an alternative to urban sprawl. The new code as amended promotes walkability; connectivity; mixed -used and diversity, i.e. mixture of shops, offices, apart- ments; mixed -housing; quality archi- tecture and urban design within the SEOPW Redevelopment Area. The SEOPW CRA shall continue to adhere to the Miami Comprehensive Neighbor- hood Master Plan and Miami 21 Zoning Code as amended from time -to -time. The new Miami 21 Zoning Code is a form - based code that allows more flexibility in 3.1.a design and development. The majority of the SEOPW Redevelopment Area is cur- rently zoned T-5 and T-6 Urban Center Zones. The T-5 zones emphasis is on limited mixed -use and multi -family residences. The T-5 creates a small-town center feel and encourages pedestrian activity with the options for tourist -driven businesses and small lodging. In the T-6 zones mixed -use development is highly encouraged. T-6 zones has the greatest number and variety of uses such as, single, and multi -family, entertainment establishments, general commercial, office, hotel permitted by Right. The Land Development code will allow development to occur with reasonable certainty and encourage the development community to deliver a variety of building types to provide housing, entertainment and services needed to support the future development of the SEOPW CRA.

The three projects include: 1-395 Improvements The limits on I-395 are from the SR 836 / I-95 / I-395 (Midtown) Interchange to the MacArthur Causeway, approximately 1.4 miles long. The project will completely re- construct the existing interstate and create a signature bridge that will span 1,025 feet over NE 2 Avenue and State Road (SR) 5/ Biscayne Boulevard redefining the Miami skyline with its six sweeping arches. The sig- nature bridge with its high vertical clearance will transform the area beneath I-395 into 55 acres of vibrant open communal spaces for the enjoyment of Overtown residents, nearby communities and visitors. The proj- ect will add additional capacity to I-395 with a total of three through lanes in each direc- tion and provide separate connector ramps for traffic to and from I-95. The existing I-395 eastbound off -ramps at NE 2 Avenue will be moved west to North Miami Ave- nue, and the westbound on -ramps at NE 1 Avenue will be shifted to the west to North Miami Avenue. NW 2 Avenue will also be reconnected under I-395 providing residents greater access. SR 836 Improvements The limits on SR 836 are from NW 17 Av- enue to the Midtown Interchange. This project is a continuation of MDX's work program to modernize the SR 836 corridor. The improvements on SR 836 include the construction of a Viaduct (elevated bridge) that begins just east of the toll gantry at NW 17 Avenue, rising over the center of SR 836 allowing drivers to bypass the I-95 Inter- change touching down at I-395 west of I-95. The Viaduct will have two lanes in each di- rection and will allow drivers continuing east to Watson Island, Port of Miami and Miami Beach to entirely bypass the Midtown inter- change and its ramps. The existing SR 836 roadway and bridges will serve as a collector distributor system to allow drivers to enter and exit from the existing local roads and I-95. This collector distributor system will reduce the existing weaving movements re- sulting in enhanced safety and better traffic operations on SR 836. In addition, the exist- ing eastbound SR 836 ramp to northbound I-95 will be widened to include an additional lane greatly reducing the congestion that drivers currently experience. 1-95 Concrete Replacement Project The limits for the improvements on I-95 are from NW 8 Street to NW 29 Street and include the total replacement of the con- 3.1.a crete pavement for both the northbound and southbound travel lanes. The AW-dMG team has also added a seventh lane in the northbound direction to receive the addi- tional lane from eastbound SR 836 ramp to northbound I-95 and enhance the flow of traffic through the Midtown Interchange. This portion of the project will also enhance safety, rideability and durability of I-95 along the project limits.

The Project Areas are numbered "A" through "E" and as a group encompass the entire Redevelopment Area. They should be thought of as various "starting points" for projects within the Re- development Area. The purpose of having the Project Areas is to focus expenditures and efforts in small areas to totally trans- form them, creating as dramatic and visible an impact as possible. By concentrating the efforts, people will experience what the larger area will look, feel, smell, and sound like as revitalization spreads, inspiring ad- ditional private reinvestment. The boundaries for Project Areas are not intended to be treated as finite boundaries. If a redevelopment proposal is adjacent to the area and it meets the urban design solutions of the project, then it should be considered part of the Project Area. The current projects and programs to be facilitated by the CRA are listed and de- scribed in the second half of this section, following the description and intent of the Project Areas. These projects may need to be updated from time to time as the proj- ects evolve and components are imple- mented. Some may need to be removed from the plan when they are sufficiently completed. New projects may need to be added. This section can be supplemented by another document or documents revis- ing the list of projects or describing them in greater detail. Criteria for Physical Improvements The following are criteria for any physical improvement project to be endorsed by the CRA: •It produces a total, outdoor environment of exceptional beauty, which exudes safety and optimism, and which stands out in marked contrast to blight. •It involves a combination of adaptive re -use of existing (or better, historic) struc- tures with new buildings and improved public spaces. •It involves a completion of the public space; for example, both sides of the street, all corners of an intersection, or all sides of a park or green space should be built out or renovated. •It includes a significant residential 3.1.a component, preferably owner -occupied; one desire is to repopulate the area and to correct an imbalance of renters versus owners. •It lures residents of moderate incomes or varied incomes; these are "colonists" who will demonstrate the viability of close - in convenient neighborhoods and whose discretionary income will help support businesses. • It suggests what the larger neighborhood will be like as revitalization spreads, and it inspires private reinvestment. • Its purpose meets the principles and goals described in Section 2 of this Rede- velopment Plan Project Areas Stakeholders' Roles Specific roles for each of the stakeholders appear below and with the Project Area descriptions. In the spirit of teamwork, the stakeholders can each do their part to revitalize the area. The roles for stakehold- ers other than the CRA should be consid- ered as suggestions. Approval of this plan should in no way require agencies or indi- viduals outside of the CRA to perform the suggested actions. Stakeholders include: Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 54 CRA: Perform actions as sanctioned under the Redevelopment Act of 1969 and iden- tified in this Community Redevelopment Plan. City of Miami: Continue support for the CRA and make changes to the zoning and other land development regulations for properties in this part of the City. The City should maintain and improve its properties in Overtown and use its resources to pro- vide a safe and attractive community. For -Profit Developers, Community De- velopment Corporations, and Investors: Continue redeveloping properties, adding more jobs and housing options within the community. Residents in the Community: As most are aware, revitalization takes a long time. Spend the effort and money to improve the appearance of homes and yards. Sometimes little tasks that do not cost too much can make a big difference, such as repainting, adding a tree or shrubs, and picking up litter that might be on your street or in your or your neighbor's yard. Rental or Commercial Property Own- ers and Business Operators: Maintain or improve the appearance of your buildings. Grants and low -interest loan programs are available to accelerate improvements. Property owners who do not intend to make improvements should consider selling their properties or partnering with others who have greater resources. Overtown Community Oversight Board: Continue monitoring and guiding the var- ious activities within Overtown, including implementation strategies and creating new alliances. The Black Archives, History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc.: Con- tinue the efforts to promote and preserve the cultural heritage of the community. Community Churches: Stay involved and stay aware of the revitalization activities in the community. Help the CRA distribute information as needed from time to time. Sponsor activities to improve the visual appearance of the neighborhoods and continue to promote the area as a proud community that cares. Pag 3.1.a Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 55 Project Area A: Park West/Downtown General Boundaries: North: I-395 Overpass South: NW 1st Street East: properties that face Biscayne Blvd West: properties that face NW 1st Avenue Challenges • The area continues to house many va- cant commercial buildings that can be used for commercial use and resulting job creation. • Planned projects should be supported that emphasize the greatest impact on job creation for the area. • There is a general lack of sense of place resulting from low building heights in proportion to the existing buildings that exist in the east portion of the area. New Opportunities There are several opportunities that an enhanced Park West area will afford the neighborhood. One of these is the incre- mental number of jobs that can be created from potential commercial activity pro- posed from the Miami Innovation District, the Miami Innovation Tower, the Miami Worldcenter and the Convention Hotel and Exposition Center project in the Park West neighborhood. The Miami Innovation District is comprised of approximately 10.4 acres technolo- gy -based start-ups, middle -market and international corporations in an innovative mixed -use development that complements the local community while driving produc- tive, inclusive and sustainable economic growth creating a home for the burgeoning movement of innovation and entrepreneur- ship in South Florida. Envisioned as "a dynamic urban core of diversity and excitement," Miami Worldcen- ter proposed to be a "blend of exceptional retail, restaurant, entertainment, hotel, residential, and commercial offerings in one unique location with up to 20 million square feet of buildable area across nearly 30 acres of prime real estate. In addi- tion to the Miami Worldcenter project the SEOPW CRA will seek to assist in the fund- ing of a Conference and Convention Hotel with an Expo Center to serve the area and create additional jobs to support the hospi- tality industry. Better pedestrian routes and improved walking conditions will allow residents and visitors alike to circulate between the two areas. Another opportunity is that the railroad right- of -way can accommodate a 3.1.a new light rail system, the Baylink. A station along this section of the avenue will bring people to Park West and serve as a link to Downtown Miami and Miami Beach for neighborhood residents. Park West can become a mixture of office, commercial and residential buildings which would be the best choice to serve both the Overtown and Park West areas. Urban Design Solutions 1. With both retail and commercial activity proposed and a high degree of poten- tial transportation options available new projects should be encouraged to take advantage of wider sidewalks and lit corridors that interconnect building and projects for high walkability. 2. Legitimize parking on all streets in the area by marking on -street spaces and installing parking meters. 3. Several changes and improvements are proposed in the Physical Plan to create a more pedestrian -friendlier environ- ment in the area. Improvements to sidewalks and the addition of street lights and shade trees along all the streets will provide a more enjoyable walking environment always. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 56 4. Taller building heights, when combined with the landscape improvements, will increase the definition of the public space in the area, and will contribute to creating a sense of place. The natural surveillance that occurs when peo- ple can watch the streets through the windows of their homes or offices will make the street corridors much safer places. 5. A parking structure in some location in the area, perhaps in Overtown, will service the parking need generated by the influx of visitors and daily inhabi- tants to the area. Any proposed parking structures must be lined with habitable spaces (such as offices, apartments, or hotel rooms) facing the streets or avenues. Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment CRA: • Make sure there are Credit Counseling Services available for existing Overtown residents, to help them qualify for home- ownership. • Make sure there is an organization set up that can offer basic financial literacy train- ing, job training, education and other sup- portive services for people with extremely low incomes that cannot qualify for home ownership. City of Miami: The Planning Department put forth a new code called Miami 21 that took in consid- eration new development regulations for properties along Biscayne Boulevard in Park West to create rules that will provide an attractive and safe pedestrian environ- ment facing Biscayne Boulevard. Residents in the Community: Residents should participate in programs to better prepare them to take advantage of home ownership and opportunities that arise from redevelopment. Developers: Provide residential units in the Park West area that meet the goals and principles of this Redevelopment Plan. Commercial Property Owners: Look for opportunities for apartments or condominiums to increase the number of patrons for the local businesses. Overtown Community Oversight Board: Continue to monitor and offer recommen- dations on activities. The Black Archives, History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc.: Continue the efforts to promote and pre- serve community's cultural heritage.

Many of the historic buildings have been demolished. • There is a need for a safe public gath- ering space associated with the re- stored and expanded Lyric Theater. • Ensuring the economic viability of the Lyric Theater as the cultural anchor of Historic Overtown • Once the Lyric Theater and surround- ing businesses become successful, there will be a perceived shortage of parking spaces, and new parking spaces will be needed for infill redevel- opment. • Residential population household incomes have decreased in year 2016 from year 2000 according to the Amer- ican Community Survey 5 year estimat- ed from the Federal Census Bureau, explaining the decrease in viable business that offer services to the residents. New Opportunities The Project Area called "Overtown" is intended to be the central core of Over - town. SEOPW is proactively planning to revive Overtown, creating a "destination of choice." The Overtown Cultural and Enter- tainment District is a tourist destination that celebrates Miami Dade County's Black heritage for the twenty-first century. The themes for Cultural and Entertainment District: the history and culture of Black people including Africa, the Caribbean and the United States; and the Harlem Renais- sance, the self definition of the Black ex- perience through entrepreneurial ventures and through self expression in the literal, visual and performing arts. The Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District is an economic revitalization proj- ect, evolving from the Historic Overtown Folk Life Village Master Plan and City of Miami ordinances establishing the Over - town Cultural and Entertainment District. The Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District shall consist of retail corridors with mixed -use facilities including housing; 3.1.a rehearsal and performing spaces for artists, artisans and craftspeople; spaces for incu- bator businesses, residents and others of all ages, colors and creeds. The intent of the art and theatre based Overtown Cultural and Entertainment dis- trict is to allow cultural related venues such as galleries, museums, night clubs, supper clubs, hotels and adult drinking establish- ments (bars) to benefit the patron traffic from the proximity to one another within the Cultural and Entertainment District. The Lyric Plaza will be the focal public open space for cultural and entertainment activities. The Black Archives, History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc. has restored the Lyric Theater and rents it out for activities and events. The Lyric The- ater will also attract business to the area from performances associated with the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami -Dade County. Additionally, the International Longshoreman's Associa- tion, chartered in 1936 to serve the Port of Miami and a critical part of the Overtown business community headquarters' rede- velopment for members, retirees and the community will be a significant contributor Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 59 to the business and cultural development of Overtown and the SEOPW CRA. An Economic Programming Study pre- pared in 2002 for Overtown that made recommendations based on the CRA's guiding principles for programs and proj- ects should be updated to incorporate the many changes that have occurred in the area and the planned future projects. The Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District will serve as the cultural anchor of "Historic Overtown," and can serve to significantly enhance efforts to create a tourist destination. The long-term viability of the Lyric Theater as the cultural anchor, and future Overtown Cultural & Enter- tainment District and commercial retail and residential developments are critical. Keeping the theater open and active may require additional public- private partner- ships. Urban Design Solutions 1. The Lyric Plaza should be surrounded on three sides by mixed -use buildings, with the fourth side being the planned addition to the theater. The ground level of these buildings should con- tain restaurants, bars, clubs, and shops offering unique merchandise with cultural appeal. These establishments will complement the theater -going experience and will encourage people to come early and linger after perfor- mances at the Lyric Theater and other future clubs in the area. 2. Offices and/or apartments should oc- cupy the upper floors around the Lyric Plaza. 3. Vehicular access should be provided on the west and north sides of the Lyric Plaza, providing a drop-off location for patrons and providing access to mid - block parking facilities. 4. The city blocks between NW 2nd Ave- nue and 3rd Avenue should follow the Folk Life Village Plan in character, with two to four story buildings. 5. Taller buildings should be built fac- ing NW 1st Avenue and the Metrorail tracks. Integrated into these buildings should be garages that provide shared parking spaces to theatergoers, the businesses, residents, and visitors on NW 2nd Avenue and in the Folk Life Village area. Folk Life Village Culture and Entertain- ment District Capital Improvement Plan for the Redevelopment Plan. The proposed Folk Life Village Cultural and Entertainment District will be the catalyst redevelopment area for mixed -use retail, commercial and residential projects and serve as the new (and historic) heart of 3.1.a Overtown.

The SEOPW CRA proposes the development of four mixed -use parking structures each containing between 400 and 700 parking spaces for a total of 2,500 to 3,000 parking spaces. At +/- $30k/space the total parking investment is between $75M and $90M. Parking structures are required as part of the initial development of the Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District to provide the re- quired parking for the new, proposed public and private development uses (within 1,000 feet) to be implemented as part of an overall parking strategy. South (9th Street) Parking Structure: 400 spaces @ $30k/space = $12 M may require land acquisition by the CRA may include a museum/gallery of African American art at the ground floor.

Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment CRA: • Offer land as part of public —private joint development projects, and coordinate County efforts to do the same. • Make sure there are Credit Counsel- ing -services available for existing Over - town residents, to help them qualify for homeownership. • Make sure there is an organization set up that can offer basic financial litera- cy training, job training, education and other supportive services for people with extremely low incomes that cannot qualify for home ownership. • Help existing and future commercial property owners attract quality tenants, and national retailers, by assigning a Sr Staff of the CRA to focus on the effort.

New Opportunities NW 3rd Avenue could become a thriving mixed -use commercial street with busi- nesses that better support the daily needs of both longtime residents and newcom- ers. New residential developments, such as Courtside Apartments, the rehabilitation of Town Park North and South and subse- quent conversion co -ownership with HUD to private homeownership as Homeown- ership has been a major theme among residents in encouraging redevelopment in the Overtown Community. As well, the revitalization of Miami -Dade County pub- lic housing community Rainbow Village will increase the variety of housing choices and diversify the household types and in- comes, and return the customers needed for the businesses in Overtown. The Cul- mer Center could be rebuilt and expanded as an impressive street- oriented building, with a courtyard for certain outdoor activi- ties. The corner at NW 17th Street and NW 3rd Avenue has large trees that will en- hance what could be turned into a public green square. Vehicular traffic around the new green square will make it safer than the property currently appears. Urban Design Solutions 1. Use the Culmer Center property as a redevelopment site. • The existing facility should be replaced with a new structure built at the corner of NW 17th Street and NW 4th Av- enue. The new building should be oriented to the street, with an open-air courtyard. • An unfenced public green or park should be built at the corner of NW 17th Street and NW 3rd Avenue where 3.1.a currently there are large trees. The front entrance of the new Culmer Cen- ter should face the new green square. • The remaining portion of the Culmer Center property along NW 3rd Ave- nue should be redeveloped as 2- to 4-story flexible -use buildings, oriented toward the street like those on the east side of NW 3rd Avenue. • The remaining portion of the Culmer Center Property along NE 4th Avenue should be redeveloped for residential or office uses. Live/work combinations should be encouraged. 2. Properties on the eastern side of NW 3rd Avenue should be refurbished or redeveloped into 2- to 4-story mixed - use buildings. Windows and doors must face NW 3rd Avenue to make walking along the sidewalk safe and worthwhile. 3. Implement the Trust for Public Land's Overtown Greenway Plan (the portions for North Overtown, in particular). NE/ NW 14th Street is the main pedestrian connection into the Omni Area. 4. Sidewalks should be repaired where broken and trees planted where there are gaps. This segment of NW 3rd Av- enue currently has a nice mature street tree canopy that should be retained during any future streetscape project.

City of Miami: Assist with streetscape improvements for Overtown Communities and request the County to redevelop the Culmer Center. Residents in the Community: Residents should participate in programs to better prepare them to take advantage of home ownership and opportunities that arise from redevelopment. Developers: Continue to provide more residential units in Overtown Communities that meet the goals and principles of this Redevelopment Plan. Commercial Property Owners: Make improvements to buildings and look for opportunities for apartments or condo- miniums to increase the number of patrons for the local businesses.

This general designation gave the CRA the ability to start planning activities, to assist the overall commercial revitalization of Overtown. Challenges • More buildings require renovation. • The community has criticized the con- struction of parking lots, because they appear to remain empty and decrease the sense of a built-up neighborhood. • The street has many churches, each needing additional parking during church events and funerals that occur on days other than Sundays. These events further reduce the parking avail- ability for business patrons. • There is a lack of shade for pedestrians. • Sidewalks are narrower than those for typical main streets, making it less comfortable for shoppers and other pedestrians. New Opportunities The potential for a thriving NW 3rd Avenue has not been lost. The segment near NW 8th Street is quite visible for people get- ting on I-95, and it is somewhat visible for northbound motorists on I-95. More notice- able improvements between NW 8th and NW 14th Streets will attract people to stop there who might otherwise pass by, or who might be interested enough by a passing glance to want to return when they have more time. Urban Design Solutions 1. Do not build any more parking lots until the demand for the area increases to the point where there is a real parking problem. The project entitled Planning and Development of Parking Facilities for the Historic Priority Business Corri- dor, should be considered complete un- til more parking is needed in the Priority Business Corridor. The surface park- ing lots constructed by the CRA were intended to be an interim use. The CRA is interested in development proposals for those properties, provided parking is included that is also accessible for existing neighboring buildings. 3.1.a 2. Shade for pedestrians is urgently need- ed. This can be accomplished by plant- ing trees between the on -street parking spaces, or with awnings, canopies, roof overhangs, balconies, colonnades, or arcades attached to the buildings. 3. Vehicular travel lanes should be nar- rowed so that the extra space can be added to the sidewalk width. On -street parking must remain in any future streetscape project, to help the busi- nesses along the street, and to add a safety barrier between the moving cars and the pedestrians. 4. Landscaping along the embankments of the Interstate Highways and the Metro - rail should be continued. 5. Improve the appearance of Church - owned parking lots. These are mostly empty except during Sunday services and other events and they could be landscaped better. Better yet, develop new buildings to house church pro- grams, community outreach services, subsidized housing or for generating revenue through renting and leasing. Any new buildings will likely have to include parking structures and mini- mize the view to parking from NW 3rd Avenue. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 65 Implementation Strategies The 1998 Study for the Historic Overtown NW 3rd Avenue Priority Business Corridor recommended that an economic study was needed, that a business capacity and identification program be created, and a "theme" be adopted. We recommend that an updated study be performed for Over - town, to estimate the magnitude of com- mercial and residential development that Overtown can sustain. The study would assess the success of future residential development and its dependence upon the success of commercial uses. The CRA will have to work on the Priority Commercial Corridor in a coordinated manner with the FolkLife Village and the Entertainment and Cultural district intended for Overtown. A "theme" is not so important but position- ing the Overtown neighborhood properly in an advertising and marketing campaign will be important to its success. Stakeholders' Roles for Redevelopment CRA: • Continue to plan and coordinate im- provements for this Project Area. • Coordinate efforts with Urban Philan- thropies the Overtown Civic Partner- ship. • Help existing, and new commercial property owners attract quality tenants, and national retailers. • Make sure there is an organization set up that can offer basic financial literacy training, job training, education and other supportive services for people with extremely low incomes that can- not qualify for home ownership. City of Miami: The City of Miami changed the all land development and land use regulations by the implementations of Miami 21 that would include revisions and upgrade the appearance and facilities at Athalie Range #1 Mini Park. Residents in the Community: • Patronize the businesses on NW 3rd Avenue. • Residents should participate in pro- grams to better prepare them to take advantage of home ownership and opportunities that arise from redevel- opment. • Appeal to FDOT and the City of Miami to renovate Athalie Range #1 Mini Park consistent with the goals to revitalize Overtown. Commercial Property Owners and Developers: Continue making improvements and look for opportunities for apartments or condo- miniums to increase the number of patrons for the local businesses. 3.1.a Overtown Community Oversight Board: Pay close attention to NW 3rd Avenue while focusing on the Overtown efforts. Look for actions that can benefit NW 3rd Avenue. The Black Archives, History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc.: • Continue the efforts to promote the Folklife Village. • Continue efforts to secure funding and organize businesses consistent with the Main Street Program that the Founda- tion currently oversees. Community Churches: • Evaluate your building and grounds to see if changes can be made to the appearance to help beautify NW 3rd Avenue. • Study the possibility of developing excess church property and surface parking lots for housing or commercial uses. • Host or sponsor community events to attract tourists or visitors to Overtown. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 66 Project Area E: Overtown Culmer Community General Boundaries: North: NW llth Street South: NW 5th Street East: I-95 West: NW 7th Avenue Challenges • Streets were closed off near Reeves Park, and in turn, create large blocks, referred to as "superblocks." These sometimes are difficult for pedestri- ans to cross, and make motorists drive farther, consuming time and expensive fuel. • The two blocks of neighborhood serv- ing retail blocks on NW 5th Avenue might be difficult to revive in the near term. New Opportunities The location of this area between down- town and the Miami River will become desirable as a neighborhood in which to live once the apartments and neighbor- hood amenities become more attractive and functional. The revitalization of the Miami -Dade County public housing com- munities Culmer Gardens and Culmer Place will also serve to increase the housing op- tions for residents of SEOPW and provide more attractive facilities in the project area. The revitalization of these Miami Dade County public housing communities will increase the variety of housing choices and diversify the household types and incomes and return residents needed for the busi- nesses of Overtown. The one-way streets in this neighborhood could be returned to two-way, shortening car trips and removing confusion for mo- torists. Apartments could be quite desir- able facing all four sides of Reeves Park. Opening the superblock so that streets will surround all four sides of Reeves Park and will make the park appear to be safer. The Culmer Community does have indus- trial uses along NW 7th Avenue. Those that are compatible to the neighborhood should not be discouraged. Special atten- tion will need to be given to the transition from industrial to residential uses. These businesses provide jobs for residents in Overtown at wage levels higher than retail jobs and likely high enough to support a family. Urban Design Solutions 1. To break up the superblocks, former streets will need to be restored, espe- cially the superblock bordered by NW 8th Street and NW 10th Street between 3.1.a NW 5th Avenue and NW 7th Avenue. 2. Apartment buildings must vary in form and color to enhance the visual ap- pearance of the neighborhood. 3. The fronts of new apartment buildings facing Reeves Park shall have their front doors facing the Park. 4. Neighborhood serving commercial land uses shall be encouraged on NW 5th Avenue between NW 7th Street and NW loth Street, except on the Reeves Park property. 5.

Community Heritage and Historic Preservation II. Promotion and Enhancement of Over - town as a Cultural and Entertainment Destination III. IV. V. VI. Planning, Development, Technical Assistance and Program Compliance Street Improvements, Utility Infrastruc- ture and Transportation Home Ownership Pre -Qualification and Counseling Program Grants for Existing Businesses and for fostering new businesses The ordering and numbering of these programs are not intended to reflect a prioritization. The programs identified here should change over time as projects are completed and new projects become important. Each of the programs has un- derneath them check marks that illustrate which of the goals set forth in Section 2 they are supporting. I. Community Heritage and Historic Preservation 1. Renovation of Historically Significant Buildings ✓#1-#6 supports all the goals Overtown The CRA proposes to build on the historic character of the area by preserving and re- vitalizing historically significant structures in the Redevelopment Area. Projects will be implemented following the completion of the designation of the significant histor- ic structures for rehabilitation. The Black Archives, History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc.'s Master Plan identifies the following objectives as a guide in the redevelopment process: • Effectively communicate information and develop broad based awareness and appreciation of historic achieve- ments of the African -American com- munity through exhibits, special events, tours, and the media. • Develop a magnet area within the target community for the purposes of: (1) re- establishing a special identity for Overtown by focusing on one era in its history, the "Little Broadway" jazz era; (2) to establish interest in the Af- ro -Caribbean heritage by encouraging tourism, trade and cultural exchanges. The development of the Cultural and Entertainment District will promote these themes to attract night clubs 3.1.a and restaurants; programming special cultural events, designing signs, street furniture and public plaza spaces; and creating promotional literature for tourism and local marketing. • Preserve, where feasible, surviving buildings which represent important links to persons, activities or events of major significance in the past. • Encourage new development to incor- porate uses which would contribute to the vitality of the district such as stores, nightclubs, restaurants, theaters. • Encourage new buildings to incorpo- rate selected design elements from the past which reflect special cultural or thematic feelings which are relevant today and should be re-established. Consideration will be given to the preser- vation of all the identified historic build- ings, wherever structural conditions and cost of rehabilitation might be favorable. However, recognizing that overall econom- ic revitalization plans for Overtown require extensive new development, emphasis should be placed on preservation of the following historic structures, which are of major importance, located within the Re- development Area: Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 70 Churches Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW 8th St Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 9th Street St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd Avenue St. Agnes Episcopal Church, 1750 NW 3rd Avenue Businesses X-Ray Clinic, 171 NW 9th Street•Stirrup Building, the corner of NW 8th Street and 3rd Avenue Longshoreman's Hall, NW 2nd Avenue - and NW 8th Street Stewart -Scott Building, NW 2nd Ave- nue and NW loth Street Dr. Davis' Office Building, NW 2nd Ave- nue and NW loth Street Judge L. E. Thomas' Office NW 2nd Avenue and NW loth Street Ward Rooming House, NW 9th Street and NW 2nd Court Clyde Killens' residence & business, corner, NW 2nd Avenue and NW llth Street Clyde Killens' Recreation Hall, NW 2nd Avenue and NW loth Street Residences Dorsey House, 250 NW 9th Street Killens House, corner, NW 2nd Avenue and NW llth Street Possible preservation strategies must be studied for each of the above buildings individually. Among the factors to be con- sidered are: ownership, need for repairs, economic productivity, potential for new uses, eligibility for federal tax benefits, location and relationship to planned rede- velopment sites, potential for moving to a new site, potential sources of funding. Buildings to be of priority concern because of imminent threats of demolition, deterio- ration or vandalism include: Stirrup Building Stewart -Scott Building Thomas Building Ward Rooming House (only front remains with temporary structural support) X-Ray Clinic Buildings that should be considered for reconstruction (due to previous demolition or neglect) include: Ward Rooming House Cola Nip Building, formerly at 233-5 NW 9th Street Divine Mission Building Brown House Park West Older structures located in Park West that have historic and cultural significance to 3.1.a the overall Miami Community should be preserved when economically feasible. Special attention will be given to the Free- dom Tower. Properties of major architectural, historical and/or contextual significance include: 500 NE 1st Avenue, Central Baptist Church 505 NE 2nd Avenue 521 NE 2nd Avenue 545 NE 2nd Avenue, Valencia (Gibson) Hotel 135 NE 5th Street 49 NE 5th Street, Salvation Army Citadel These buildings reflect the wide variety of architectural styles common to Miami, par- ticularly Mediterranean Revival and frame and masonry vernacular structures. Two of the buildings, however, are examples of styles unusual to Miami: Venetian Gothic (Salvation Army Citadel) and Neo-Palladian (Central Baptist Church). The preservation of these structures should be included in any redevelopment project.

Historic Designation ✓#1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage The City of Miami's Planning and Zoning Departments have evaluated Overtown and Park West as a possible historic district and have determined that it is not eligible. However, significant buildings have been designated Historic or listed in the Na- tional Register for Historic Places, or both, through the efforts of the Planning and Zoning Departments. The following prop- erties have been designated by the City of Miami as historic sites: Dorsey House, 250 NW 9th Street ▪ X-Ray Clinic, 171 NW 9th Street • Chapman House, 526 NW 13th Street • Cola Nip Building, 233-5 NW 9th Street, building demolished • Lyric Theatre, 819 NW 2nd Avenue ▪ St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd Avenue Ebenezer Methodist Church, 1042 NW 3rd Avenue Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 9th Street Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW 8th Street St. Agnes Episcopal Church, 1750 NW 3rd Avenue ▪ Black Police Precinct and Courthouse, ▪ 1009 NW 5th Avenue The properties listed above as historic sites may utilize the Historic Preservation "HP" Zoning Overlay District permits, that provide certain modification to zoning and building code regulations where necessary to make preservation economically or architecturally feasible. The following properties have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Dorsey House, 250 NW 9th Street X-Ray Clinic, 171 NW 9th Street Cola Nip Building, 233-5 NW 9th Street, building demolished St. John's Baptist Church, 1328 NW 3rd Avenue Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 301 NW 9th Street Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church, 245 NW 8th Street There may come a time when more struc- tures will become eligible. Should that occur, the CRA will work with The Black Archives, History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc. and the City of Miami to further designate properties of historic value in the community. 3. Promote and/or Organize Activities and Events That Recreate the Former Vitality and Atmosphere of the Commu- nity V#1 Preserving Historic Buildings & 3.1.a Community Heritage ✓#5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community An African-American/Caribbean theme is recommended to recreate the feeling and atmosphere of "Historic Overtown". The establishment of an annual Historic Over - town Cultural Arts Festival reminiscent of the jazz era will provide the setting for jazz concerts to be held within the proposed district. The establishment of an international cultural complex featuring activities remi- niscent of the nineteen thirties, forties, and fifties will provide artists with the opportu- nity to receive training as well as to per- form in concert. Events that would aid in attracting people into the community include a national or- atorical competition, hair styling contests, tennis tournaments and other sporting events, culinary contests specializing in soul food from the Caribbean and South- ern States, and the establishment of a hall of fame with annual recognition of national figures. Families from all over the world will be encouraged to hold annual family re- unions in Miami -Dade County, particularly in the Historic Overtown district. The establishment of specialty shops which feature products of Africa, the Caribbean Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 72 and the Southern States including restau- rants, caterers, photographer's studios specializing in passports, bookstores and art galleries would help attract visitors to the area. A "Saturday Marketplace" where vendors can set up in a designated street block or public plaza, featuring ethnic foods, crafts, fresh produce, artwork, a VIP Convention Center for local organizations with national and international chapters, and a perma- nent center to exhibit ongoing collections unique to the black experience would also increase the number of visitors to the area throughout the year. 4. Provide Incentives for Revitalization in "Historic Overtown" ✓ #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage ✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles ✓ #3 Housing: Infill, Diversity, & Retaining Affordability ✓ #4 Job Creation ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents Incentives or requirements may be provid- ed to attract retail stores at the ground lev- el on selected commercial blocks, and to attract jazz clubs, permit -controlled street vendors, and outdoor markets. Special zoning incentives in the HP Overlay Ordinance may be used for the preserva- tion of existing historic structures. Design guidelines for new construction that would encourage selected elements of historic building forms to be incorporated into the design of new buildings should be considered. 5. Establish a First -Class Residential Village Containing a Cluster of Restored Buildings — The Folklife Village and the Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District ✓ #1-#6 supports all the goals The placement of distinctive street furni- ture wherever Redevelopment Plans call for new improvements to sidewalks and plaza spaces such as paving, benches, signs, trash cans, landscaping, etc., and the devel- opment of landscaping standards utilizing historical and thematic plant materials can aid in achieving this goal. Public plaza, street, sidewalk and park improvements should be designed to accommodate the special cultural events the area will attract. As a complement to the Historic Folk Life Village Master Pan, the CRA shall pro- mote public private partnerships including partnerships with non-profit organization and/or development entities located and operating within "Historic Overtown" to develop the first-class residential village in 3.1.a a manner consistent with "Historic Over - town". 5a. Provide Planning, Coordination, and Technical Assistance to the Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District De- velopment The Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District and Historic Folklife Village is Dade County's proposed African American heritage tourist destination. Plans were proposed in 1997 and 1998 to guide the redevelopment of the tourist site by em- phasizing reestablishment of mixed uses. The CRA will assist The Black Archives, History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc. in providing a detailed survey, a complete economic and functional eval- uation of all the land uses and proposed development within the Historic Folklife Village and initiate any environmental as- sessments to assist in the efforts of devel- oping the area. 5b. Technical Assistance to the Overtown Cultural and Entertain- ment District Redevelopment The Lyric Theater is a performing arts theater that was the center of local night- life in its heyday. Located at NW 2nd Ave. and NW 8th St., it is has been completely restored by The Black Archives, History Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 73 & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc. Their primary objective is to use the theater as a venue for cultural program- ming, community meeting facilities and an anchor for the Overtown Cultural & Enter- tainment District and Historic Overtown Folklife Village. The CRA will assist in the redevelopment of the Overtown Cultural & Entertainment District through support services that entail assistance with ensuring businesses, cultural venues, restaurants and services that support the District are financially equipped to do so. 5c. Planning, Design and Development of Infrastructure Improvements in the Overtown Cultural and Entertain- ment District and the Historic Folk - life Village As a complement to the Overtown Cultural & Entertainment District Master Plan and the Historic Folklife Village Master Plan, the CRA will assist in providing technical assistance for the provision of infrastruc- ture improvements, such as streetscape improvements and landscaping. 5d. Planning, Design and Development of Parking Facilities to Support the Lyric Theater, the Folklife Village and the Overtown Cultural and Enter- tainment District The CRA proposes to assist with the de- velopment of parking facilities to support the increasing use of the Lyric Theater and the eventual development of the Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District. 6. Promotion of "Historic Over town" as a Tourist Destination in "Historic Overtown" V #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage V#5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community V #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The establishment of a Tourist informa- tion center which would direct tourists to attractions, restaurants, hotel accommo- dations, and historical sites throughout Miami -Dade County would serve to mark "Historic Overtown" as a tourist destina- tion. The placement of historic markers delineating historic sites (including sites now vacant or redeveloped) and the estab- lishment of tours of local historical sites in- cluding bus tours to visit sites county -wide and mini -tours for sites within the district are among several strategies that can be used to generate interest. "Historic Overtown," especially those areas along the historic NW 2nd Avenue cor- ridor, should be developed in a manner 3.1.a to create a tourist destination in suitable sites for commercial/tourist/cultural uses. As suitable sites for commercial/tourist/ cultural uses continue to diminish within "Historic Overtown," the need to insure the economic vitality of existing uses becomes more critical. Therefore, economic conflicts between existing land uses must also be viewed from a perspective of improving and redeveloping existing commercial/ tourist/cultural uses, where appropriate. The strategic objectives for the promotion of "Historic Overtown" as a tourist destina- tion are: 1. Increase the number of commercial and cultural attractions, restaurant, hotel accommodations and historical sites offering information and memo- rabilia about "Historic Overtown's" rich heritage to visitors; 2. Increase public visitation to historical resources within "Historic Overtown;" 3. Provide public accessibility to cultural events within "Historic Overtown;" 4. Increase the number of Overtown residents and visitors benefiting from cultural activities each year; and 5. Coordinate with the Miami -Dade County African -American Tourist Site Task Force Board, and similar board, entities and organizations to locate Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 74 and develop business opportunities for tourist attractions within "Historic Overtown," especially along the NW 2nd Avenue corridor. 7. Establishment of Artists' District by Legislation ✓ #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage ✓ #4 Job Creation ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The CRA will petition for the designation of an Artists' District for Overtown. The Over - town area possesses a fascinating history as a center of black culture and the focal point of area entertainment. This legacy is still seen in its buildings, plazas and the- aters. The establishment of an Arts Dis- trict -would capitalize on these resources by directing future growth in a manner com- patible with its history. The establishment of legitimate theater, writers, and artists' workshops; and first-class night clubs and restaurants should be encouraged based on the guidelines of the Historic district. The establishment of manufacturing as well as other related businesses for the arts, i.e. manufacturing and distributing equipment and supplies for dancing, music, art, etc. should also be encouraged. 8. Periodically Update Housing Policy ✓ #3 Housing: Infill, Diversity, & Retaining Affordability The Housing Policy should be reviewed at least every two years. Changes will be made to the policy that increase, support, or maintain affordability in the CRA as new outcomes are discovered by the current policy or as issues arise from new develop- ment in the neighborhood. II. Promotion and Enhancement of Overtown and Park West as a Business and Invest- ment Location 1. Seeking Public/Private Develop- ment Opportunities ✓ #1-#6 supports all the goals The CRA will search for, evaluate, and advertise public -private development opportunities that will utilize the land owned by the CRA to further the goals of the Redevelopment Plan. This may include tasks associated with: Coordinating with other private and Public entities for the development of surplus real property within the CRA. Offering land as part of public —private joint development projects. Coordinating efforts with Miami -Dade County to do the same. 3.1.a Request the County to redevelop the Culmer Center to improve the facili- ty and help improve NW 3rd Avenue or seek a third party to joint venture with the County. 2. Investigation into Technology Real Estate Ventures ✓ 2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles and Public -Private Partnerships ✓ #4 Job Creation ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The Miami Innovations District has identi- fied in its research to the CRA that there is potential in setting up an environment and attracting a new business market in inno- vative technologies to Park West. This is identified in Project Area A, of this section. 3. Establish an "Priority Team for Pro- curement" to enlarge the Business Community ✓ #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage ✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles ✓ #4 Job Creation V#5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 75 The CRA will create strategies and establish a Priority Team for attracting new busi- nesses to Overtown. The CRA may elect to call the committee by a name different from Priority Team." To start, the Priority Team will focus on NW 3rd Avenue from 22nd Street south to NW 8th Street, the area identified in this plan as the core of Overtown, and the Folklife Village and the Cultural and Entertainment district along NW 2nd Avenue from I-395 south to NW 5th Street, and along llth Street. The CRA will keep the Priority Team informed of new residential projects as they are being proposed to help in the effort to attract new businesses. 4. Identification, Marketing and Ne- gotiation of a National Franchiser as a Pioneer Project for the Historic Priority Business Corridor ✓ 2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles and Public -Private Partnerships ✓ #4 Job Creation ✓#5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Resident The creation of strategic partnerships between franchisers and minority urban based businesses represents a market of untapped consumers, investors, and entrepreneurs. Location of these busi- nesses along the corridor and impact area will give impetus for the expansion and location of other businesses. The CRA will continue its efforts to identify, negotiate, and market the Historic Overtown Priority Business Corridor to potential franchisers by offering favorable direct or indirect development incentives. 5. Planning, Design, and Development of a Job Creation Plaza ✓ 2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles and Public -Private Partnerships ✓ #4 Job Creation To help create critical mass along the Historic Priority Business Corridor, the CRA is making plans to develop a job creation plaza that will serve the local community and other users. The plaza will be a pedes- trian friendly environment incorporating open space, landscaping, a much -needed plaza or meeting area suited for passive gathering and socializing, retail restaurants and other businesses uses and services. 6. Development of a Professional Office Building ✓ 2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles and Public -Private Partnerships ✓ #4 Job Creation 3.1.a The CRA proposes to develop a profes- sional office building within the Historic Priority Business Corridor or its impact area. If the building is constructed within the Overtown Cultural & Entertainment District or the Historic Overtown Folklife Village, it should follow the design guide- lines of the Historic Overtown Folklife Village Master Plan. 7. Development and relocation of new Businesses to Overtown and Park West ✓ 2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles ✓ #4 Job Creation ✓#5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The CRA will provide marketing and assis- tance for new and compatible businesses to relocate to Overtown and Park West. III. Planning, Development, Technical Assistance and Program Compliance 1. Facilitation of the improvements identified in each of the Project Areas ✓ #1-#6 supports all the goals Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 76 Efforts regarding the Project Areas, as described elsewhere in this section, will take precedence over other efforts being undertaken by the CRA. The Project Areas are: Park West/ Downtown Overtown (including the Overtown Cul- tural & Entertainment District and His- toric Folklife Village) Residents of Overtown Historic Overtown Priority Business Corridor Culmer Community 7th Avenue Business Corridor 2. Increase Parking Supply ✓ 2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles and Public -Private Partnerships ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The CRA will examine ways to increase the supply of parking within its boundaries. Tasks may include: Advocating, funding, and/or building on -street parking spaces in any future streetscape or redevelopment efforts within public rights -of -way. Funding, and/or building off-street parking spaces in any future redevelop ment efforts within the CRA boundaries. Coordinating and facilitating efforts with the City of Miami that support the reform of off-street parking regula- tions to reduce the unnecessary burden on private developers. For example, to jump-start redevelopment, new busi- nesses in existing buildings should be exempt from parking requirements to reduce their startup costs and therefore their financial risks 3. Miscellaneous Land Acquisition V #1-#6 supports all the goals The CRA proposes to acquire land, as nec- essary, to support the implementation of the projects described in this Redevelop- ment Plan within the Redevelopment Area. Additionally, in acquiring land, funding support will be required to mitigate and perfect ownership of land including ie. En- vironmental and title issues for properties that will support the implementation of the projects described in this Redevelop- ment Plan within the Redevelopment Area. Acquiring more land for publicly accessible green space for active and passive recre- ational use will also be a priority. 4. Support for Greenways ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The CRA will assist, where possible, the 3.1.a Trust for Public Land with implementation of their Overtown Greenprint Plan and Greenway Plan within the Redevelopment Area. 5. Create and Design an Overlay of Special Fencing for all CRA-owned properties and other governmental and non-profit institution owned properties within its jurisdiction in Overtown ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents Historically, public agencies that own land maintain the properties vacant while rede- velopment occurs or is proposed, and this does not give redeveloping communities a look that is pleasing and does not do much for the image of the area. The CRA pro- poses to create and design an overlay of special fencing in the Bahamian, Caribbean style for all CRA owned properties and for other properties within its jurisdiction to transform an otherwise challenging situ- ation into an opportunity to provide the Historic Business Corridor and its impact areas with a linking element that will pro- vide character within a historic framework. The fencing should be compatible with the design parameters specified in the Historic Overtown Folklife Village Master Plan. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 77 6. Technical Assistance/Liaison to Optimist Club Activities ✓ #4 Job Creation ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The CRA proposes to continue to aid and support to the Optimist Clubs in terms of policy guidance, assistance with local gov- ernmental organizations, and other techni- cal assistance. 7. Plan Improvements of the Over - town Parks: Gibson Park, Williams Park, Reeves Park, Dorsey Park and Athalie Range #1 Mini -Park ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents According to a report by the Trust for Public Land, parks and recreational oppor- tunities are important to all communities. The lack of adequate recreational space has been an element of contention in the studies of urban violence. Inadequate parks ranked above unemployment and difficulties with police amongst the most significant problems within the inner-city neighborhoods. This realization was behind the creation and support of the Safe Neighborhoods Parks Bond Program. Unfortunately, neighborhoods such as Overtown have the least park land and the fewest facilities with the most difficulty in improving and maintaining the existing areas. The CRA will coordinate efforts with the City of Miami's Parks and Planning Departments to provide for incentives to allow for the creation of additional park/ green space and for the maintenance of such recreational areas. The CRA may produce schematic designs for facility improvements and public safety measures within the parks. 8. Development of a "Gateway" Project into the Omni and the Overtown/ Park West Areas ✓ #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage ✓#5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community The CRA proposes to study and evalu- ate the potential of entry features for the entrances into the Omni Area at the I-395 exit, llth Street and Biscayne Boulevard and into the Southeast Overtown Area at NW 14th St. and connections with I-395, I-95, and NW 3rd Ave., at NW 3rd Ave and NW 8th St. and at NW 4th Ave. and NW 8th St. Specific entry features for the Park West Area will also be determined. Entry features for Overtown should be in accor- dance with the Historic Overtown Folklife Village Master Plan. Efforts to be coor- dinated with the Trust for Public Land in implementing their Greenway/Greenprint 3.1.a Plan, and with The Black Archives, History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc., Urban Philanthropies and the City of Miami in implementing these gateways and preserving the historic context of the area. 9. Periodically Update the Housing Policy ✓ #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage ✓ #3 Housing: Infill, Diversity, & Retaining Affordability The CRA will adopt a new housing policy and will update it periodically as changes occur in the market places and as property values shift from time to time. 10. Promote the Development of Affordable Housing to Developers ✓ #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage ✓ #3 Housing: Infill, Diversity, & Retaining Affordability The CRA will meet with developers of proj- ects within the Redevelopment Area prior to their permit application submissions to the City. The purpose of the meeting is for the CRA to encourage and negotiate for as much affordable housing as possible in each new development. The CRA will not offer aid of any kind to developers unless Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 78 the developers comply with the CRA's Housing Policy. IV. Street Improvements, Utility Infrastructure, and Trans- portation 1. Streetscape Projects ✓ #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage ✓#5 Promotion & Marketing of the Community ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The CRA has begun or completed street- scape design and construction in a few of the Project Areas. The CRA will continue the efforts to conclude those projects that have not begun or been completed. The Streetscape projects include: 1. 8th Street Streetscape 2. loth Street Streetscape 3. llth Street Streetscape 4. NW 3rd Avenue (south of I-395) for the Historic Priority Business Corridor 5. NW3rd Avenue (north of I-395) 6. NW 8th-llth Street (Cultural & Enter- tainment District) 7. NW loth & NW llth Street FEC/Bright- line Pathways & Rail spur. Additional streetscape projects may be included in the future. Related tasks may include: regular maintenance of lighting, street furniture, landscaping, and paving ma- terials. acquiring the services of engineers or landscape architects. 2. Coordination of Infrastructure Improvements with City of Miami & Miami Public Works Departments, Miami Dade Water and Sewer Depart- ment, FDOT, Miami Parking Authority and Other Relevant Agencies ✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles and Public -Private Partnerships ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents CRA efforts are concentrated on planning infrastructure improvements in the Rede- velopment Area, such as street improve- ments, landscaping, lighting, parking and pedestrian amenities, and enhancements. Coordination with local and state agen- cies responsible for implementing these infrastructure improvements, as well as private developers and community mem- bers, becomes paramount to set priorities, coordinate and avoid duplication of efforts, and find new avenues to pursue resources. Tasks may include: Upgrades to water mains and sewer mains, by implementing actual recon- 3.1.a struction or by subsidizing the upgrades performing others. Collaborating with the MPO to return one-way streets back into two-way streets. Improving pedestrian features such as crosswalks that are more visible to motorists or securing easements or ac- cess for pedestrian routes separated from the roadways. Influencing the decision to subdivide larger blocks into smaller ones with the creation of new streets. Increasing public on -street parking in rights -of -way. Assisting with solutions to any noise, access, and privacy problems associated with properties along the rail and transit routes 3. Pedestrian Compatible Community Transit System ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The CRA will review, and act accordingly towards the work of Thomas Gustafson and Nova Southeastern University related to the development of a pedestrian com- patible community transit system to link all Southeast Overtown, Park West, and the nearby Central Business District and Omni area, The Report also describes the possi- bility of a large pedestrian zone adjacent Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 79 to the Overtown/Arena Metrorail Station to enhance intermodal transfers. 4.

Plan, Coordinate, and Design Special Lighting; Security District (Pedestrian Enhancements) ✓ #2 Expanding the Tax Base using Smart Growth Principles and Public -Private Partnerships ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents Security is an important issue in the area. The CRA proposes to provide pedestrian enhancements, special lighting, and create a more pedestrian friendly atmosphere in the Redevelopment Area by developing and implementing a Security and Lighting District and a Police Enhancement Pro- gram, including the Entertainment District, the 9th Street Pedestrian Mall, and Sawyers Walk. Within the Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District lighting should be consistent with the character identified in the Historic Folklife Village Master Plan. V. Home Ownership Pre -Quali- fication and Counseling Program ✓ #1 Preserving Historic Buildings & Community Heritage ✓ #3 Housing: Infill, Diversity, & Retaining Affordability ✓ #6 Improving the Quality of Life for Residents The CRA will coordinate efforts with the City of Miami, local real estate organiza- tions, mortgage lenders and community bankers, community development corpo- rations, faith- based institutions, consumer advocates, and residents to implement a home ownership pre -qualification and counseling program which will provide homeownership training sessions, market public sector assistance programs, and as- sist in pre -qualifying home buyers. Services will be accessible to existing Overtown res- idents.

It is not the intent of this section to serve as an implementation plan or as an operations budget. Capital Improvements are defined as improve- ments in the infrastructure which encom- passes upgrading of sidewalks, water and sewer upgrades and road repairs, all neces- sary items that are the responsibility of the municipality. The CRA has an independent operation strategy and budget that will identify capital improvements among its other projects and expenses. The known and desired capital projects listed in this plan are prioritized. It should be expected that this section will become obsolete over time as projects get completed and new ones become important to the community, which is the reason for a separate budget strategy. Capital Improvement Goals The goals for making capital improvements within the Redevelopment Area are: 1. Eradicate the visual blight seen from streets and public places within the CRA. 2. To upgrade the infrastructure to attract new investors and development. 3. Protect the health and safety of the residents by improving the perfor- mance of the City's infrastructure systems. 4. Remove or diminish negative impacts caused by existing or inadequate infra- structure. Prioritizing Capital Improvements The approach to prioritizing improvement projects focuses on key Project Areas described in Section 4. These Project Areas are characteristically unique and show the greatest potential for immediate positive change. The Project Areas set forth in Section 4 encompass the entire Redevelopment Area, and investment in capital improve- ment and public infrastructure, should attract interest in the community and spark additional private investment within the Redevelopment Area. The idea behind con- centrating efforts in small areas is to totally transform them, creating as dramatic and visible an impact as possible. When mon- ey is spent evenly throughout the entire CRA, it is difficult to see where the money has gone. By focusing the efforts, people will see what the larger area will be like as revitalization spreads, inspiring additional 3.1.a private reinvestment. Priority should go towards efforts within the Project Areas. The CRA Board will de- cide if certain projects rank higher than others,as they will with their 5-year im- provement plan. Potential Funding Sources It is important for the CRA staff to coor- dinate with the City and County staff to leverage or match tax increment funds with Federal, State, and locally available funds. Sources include but should not be limited to: Capital programs for the City, County other local governmental entities. Community Development Block Grants. Federal, State, and local Transportation Trust Funds People's Transportation Plan funded through the local option half -penny sales tax and overseen by the Citizens Independent Transportation Trust. Federal, State, and Local Park Funds. Partnerships with educational institu- tions. New Market Tax Credits Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 87 Capital Improvement and Infrastruc- ture Costs by Project Area Each Project Area has improvements item- ized as: 1. Streetscape Improvements Streetscape improvement estimates include costs associated with pave- ment, curbs, sidewalks, concrete pavers, drainage, landscaping, utilities, signage, and pavement markings. The construction costs were prepared from information in the Draft Report for the Southeast Overtown / Park West Redevelopment Plan dated Sept ember 2018. The costs exclude struc- tures and any right of way acquisition. 2. Water Main Water Main estimates include costs for upgrading underground mains that provide water service to the properties. Hookup fees are not included. 3. Sewer Sewer estimates include costs for upgrading underground sewer pipes that provide solid waste disposal from adjacent properties. Hookup fees are not included. 4. Projects budgeted for FY 2018-2019 Projects budgeted for the Fiscal Year 2018 — 2019 have been added to the Project Area they serve. Some currently budgeted projects affect multiple proj- ect areas and are listed under the cate- gory of "Other Capital Improvements."

Park West, the eastern part of the Redevel- opment Area, once populated by a few old warehouses that once contained businesses that relied on the proximity of the Port of Miami, when it was located at what is now Museum Park, Park West is now home to the American Airlines Arena (Miami Arena was— demolished in September 2008), the Network Access Point (NAP) facility that provides computer data storage relat- ed services, five large residential towers along Biscayne Blvd, an expansion of the Wolfson Campus of Miami -Dade Commu- nity College, several new nightclubs cater- ing to the "after hours" market, the newly planned Miami Innovation District, Miami Innovation Tower and the long planned Mi- ami World Center Complex and Convention Hotel and Exhibition Center. Most of the existing residents in Park West reside in the luxury residential towers locat- ed on Biscayne Blvd. that were completed during the recent real estate boom from 2007-2016. This represents an increase in new middle to upper income residents to the Park West area. The Southeast Overtown residents reside in largely low- rise, older rental developments scattered throughout the community. There con- tinues to be a large homeless population in the Redevelopment Area although the homeless feeding facility in Park West was relocated from Park West to a new location bordering the western boundary of the Redevelopment Area by the City of Miami. The existing population in Southeast Over - town is considerably younger and poorer than the City of Miami and Miami- Dade County and reflects a slightly higher medi- an household size. The existing households in Southeast Overtown are more likely to be headed by a single head of household than the City of Miami as a whole. Un- employment rates in the community are also higher than the rates for the City and County. Overtown is comprised of small neighbor- hood businesses, churches, single family homes and apartment buildings, with the latter being the most dominant. According to a review of the U.S. Census Bureau's; American Community Survey 5- year es- timate, 2012-2016 homeownership data indicated that the rate in Overtown was still very low at approximately 12.5%. This low homeownership rate reflects the low household incomes in the community and the lack of affordable homeownership development in the community. In compar- 3.1.a ison, 37% of the City of Miami's residential unit's are owner -occupied. In 2016, almost 57 percent of Overtown's households earned less than $17,500 per year. The population of the SEOPW CRA area has increased by 2.9% between 2000 (6,599) and 2016 (6,792). The following are residential characteristics in surrounding areas: Northeast of the Redevelopment Area is the Omni Redevelopment Area. The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Perform ing Arts of Miami -Dade County ("PAC") was completed in 2006 and serves as a catalyst to draw new people, business es and residents into that area. North of the PAC between Biscayne Bou- levard and Biscayne Bay are several new multi -family residential towers under construction and/or recently completed. North of the Redevelopment Area, the conditions are like Overtown. Redevel- opment efforts within the Redevelop ment Area can only have a positive effect on its northern neighbors. Southwest and West of the Redeye! opment Area is the Miami River and the Spring Garden neighborhood. The river has mostly industrial uses, but future loft style apartments and mixed -use devel opments have been advertised on Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 97 signs posted at various properties. Spring Garden is a stable residential neighborhood primarily of single family homes, separated from western Over town by the Seybold canal. To the south is the Central Business District with mostly government related buildings on the southern edge of the Redevelopment Area. Northwest of the Redevelopment Area is the University of Miami Medical Cam pus at Jackson hospital district com prised of several hospitals, doctors' of fices, and related businesses and re search facilities. To the East are properties facing Bis cayne Bay, including Bicentennial Park and the American Airlines Arena. Two museums have been completed and Bicentennial Park has been renamed "Museum Park". Housing Policy The following items constitute the CRA's Policy toward Housing, both market rate and affordable: 1) The CRA endorses, supports, encour- ages, assists and initiates housing initiatives that will do the following: a) Improve living conditions for all residents of the neighborhoods b) Incorporate a variety of options to target the severe shortage of housing affordable to residents of low or moderate income, including the elderly. c) Further the development of "work force" housing through public/pri vate partnerships. d) Includes design features and con siderations that contribute to the livability and walkability of the com munity 2) A goal for the level of affordable housing that should be made available in the Redevelopment Area of, at least, 20% of any new development or reha bilitation of existing housing stock, to be periodically reviewed for results. 3) Affordability can be achieved by: a) Working with both non-profit and for -profit developers to find redevelopment opportunities and to assist them with overcoming obstacles they often encounter. b) Developing and supporting pro grams that will assist in the devel opment of housing that is afford able to lower- income families by providing developer incentives such as density bonuses, parking concessions and project subsidies. c) The zoning code Miami 21 has established incentives and inclu sionary zoning policies that will require a percent- age of the units for new rental and 3.1.a homeownership developments to be affordable and made available for rent or purchase to low and very low-income families, with best efforts being made to serve existing Overtown residents. d) Assisting developers, who provide rental housing serving families, including seniors, earning below 80% of the area median income, to secure project -based assistance for those units. e) Ensuring that existing supportive housing is better integrated into the community and expanding supportive housing models to address the unmet needs of exist ing residents. f) Ensuring adequate funding of and access to mortgage subsidy pro grams for existing families who seek homeownership opportunities in the community. Relocation Policy As stated in this Redevelopment Plan's Housing Policy, it is the CRA's goal and intent to retain, improve and increase the housing stock in the Redevelopment Area and not to replace it with a non-residential use. In the future, if any unforeseen redevelop Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 98 ment project involving the CRA requires the involuntarily displacement of anyone from either a rented or owned housing unit, the project proposal must contain a Project Relocation Plan which adheres to all applicable laws and regulations. The Project Relocation Plan must be approved by the CRA Board in a publicly noticed CRA Board meeting prior to any final approval of the project. If any future projects were to require relocation and CRA funding were to be "partnered" with Federal funds, the CRA shall make it a condition of its participation that all provisions of the Uniform Reloca- tion Assistance Act are met. This strategy adheres to the requirements of Chapters 163 and 421, Florida Statues. Through the Housing Policy and Reloca- tion Policy described in this Redevelop- ment Plan, the existing residents within the Redevelopment Area who may be tempo- rarily or permanently displaced because of redevelopment activities directly supported by the CRA will have access to safe, sani- tary and decent replacement housing. Traffic Circulation The network of streets within the Redevel- opment Area is the typical Miami "grid." The older portions of Overtown have smaller blocks. The I-95 and I-395 High- ways have created some real and psycho- logical barriers; however, there are several locations where the city streets pass under or over the highway. The Brightline Rail- road, which runs along NW 1st Avenue, interrupts circulation for both pedestrians and motorists in several locations. For this Redevelopment Plan's proposed traffic changes, see Section 3, "Trans- portation System: Re-establishing the traditional urban network of streets." The primary change proposed is returning many of the streets from a one-way con- figuration back to two-way streets. The current conditions appear to make it easy for visitors to enter Overtown, but confus- ing to leave. The current roadways should handle the projected increase in residential units, since the same city streets accom- modated a former population of 40,000 in 1960. The population in 2016 was 6,792, an increase from 6,599 in 2000. Also, public transit serves Overtown rather well, which did not exist in 1960. Further community transit and transit ac- cess improvements will be explored related to Airport to Sea Port Metrorail linkages through the Overtown/Arena Station and other possible livable community inter - modal system improvements, under Miami Dade County's SMART PLAN. FDOT proposed changes for the Port of 3.1.a Miami traffic, which will include a tunnel to relieve the traffic to NE/NW 5th and 6th Streets have been implemented and east -westbound traffic on SR836, The Dol- phin Expressway will begin implementation in 2019(see changes to I-395/SR-836). Transportation capacity is controlled by the downtown's DRI agreement (Development of Regional Impact). The local circulation is addressed on a project by project basis in the Major Use Special Permits (MUSP). Environmental Quality Redevelopment will improve environmen- tal quality due to existing provisions in the City's building permit process. Miami -Dade County's Department of Environmental Resource Management reviews all new construction permits to insure health standards are followed. Asbestos testing is required for existing buildings that are to undergo renovation. The County's Health Department must also approve any water and sewer changes, restaurants, hospitals, clinics, and schools. Miami Dade Water and Sewer Department ("M-DWASD") provides water and sewage services and runoff drainage forthe Rede- velopment Area. M-DWASD has upgraded their standards which means that nearly all new construction and renovations within the Redevelopment Area will require up- grades to the water service lines, given the Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 99 the age and smaller diameter of the exist- ing water lines. Locations of concern within the Rede- velopment Area are those locations that once had industrial uses and gas stations, which once existed primarily along NW 7th Avenue.

With the attraction of the Park West Entertainment District during evening and early morning hours, and with the anticipated spill -over effect of the Performing Arts Center, Miami World Center, Miami Innovation District and 3.1.a Miami Innovation Tower, the expansion of the Historic Lyric Theater and Entertain- ment District, and new proposed market rate and affordable housing, the physical character of the Redevelopment Area is about to change. Recent projects from the CRA have been geared toward beautification of the public rights -of -way with sidewalk improvements and tree planting. The City of Miami adopted a new zoning code, Miami 21 in 2009. The new zoning regulations come with new design guide- lines. The intention of the design guide- lines is to ensure that both publicly and privately constructed buildings are attrac- tive and support the need for pedestrian access, comfort, and safety. Proposed new developments at the time of writing this amendment all provide a mix of uses including residential, making it possible to live and work within walking distance or transit. The greatest asset of this community is its location. The Central Business District is within walking distance, it is served by public transit, and it is centrally located in Miami- Dade County. Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 100 Transit Oriented Development By enactment of the City of Miami new zoning code Miam21 in 2009 a new set of regulation governed the development of neighborhoods. With continued traffic congestion and the need to connect em- ployees with labor markets a new designa- tion was created and called Transit Orient- ed Development. This designation gave way to land owners and property rights to increase density for their properties. The designation recognized transits impact on the daily lives of residents but most impor- tantly its effect on housing development. Now transit stations on both the Met- ro -rail and Metro -mover lines and highly trafficked arteries of the City designated as traffic corridors were benefited by increas- ing densities for affordable and workforce housing development through the Transit Oriented Development. This designation allowed for more units and less parking so that the cost of delivery resulted in more affordable housing options. Residents in the SEOPW CRA will benefit from landowners and property develop- ers that own property near the numer- ous transit stations and transit corridors that will gain additional rights to develop more units through a formula created by Miami 21.

This report recommended redevelopment of the area north of the port access road to I-395 between N.W. 1st Avenue and Bis- cayne Boulevard, later designated as Park West. This recommendation was incorpo- rated within the MCNP in 1976. 1976 Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) A Comprehensive Plan is required by the State of Florida for every municipality. Miami's Comprehensive Plan provides the framework for the overall development of the City of Miami. This plan is periodically updated and continues to guide the City's decisions. In 1976 Development opportuni- ties were identified for the CRA area within this document including the establishment of an in -town residential community and redevelopment opportunities made possi- ble by the expanded transit system. 1979-1980 Overtown Redevelopment Plan Prepared by the City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department with extensive citizen review, this plan was for the larger Overtown community, not just the CRA boundaries. This plan was adopted by both the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County. Portions of this plan that referred to Southeast Overtown were incorporated into the original SEOPW Community Rede- velopment Plan. 1979 - 1981 Miami Park West, A Redevelopment Program for Downtown Miami Prepared by Wallace, Roberts and Todd (WRT), American Cities Corporation, and Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Doug- las, this plan called for land purchase of a 16-block area, extensive clearance and redevelopment of the industrial area into a residential and commercial community. The focal point of the plan was a large linear green space linking Overtown to Bi- centennial Park. This plan was incorporated into the 1982 SEOPW Community Redevel- opment Plan. 1981-82 SEOPW Community Redevelopment Plan Prepared by the City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department, this plan stated to the State of Florida the need for a Commu- nity Redevelopment Agency, and speci- 3.1.a fied projects and operations for the CRA. Although the plan was modified over the following few years, it is now out of date, which has led to the Community Redevel- opment Plan to which this appendix is at- tached. The 1982 Redevelopment Plan was reviewed and modified over a six-month period by the Southeast Overtown/Park West Ad Hoc Committee that included representatives of the Overtown and Park West communities and provided a forum for community concerns. 1986-87 Omni Area Redevelopment Plan, Sep- tember 1986 Prepared by the City of Miami Planning Department, this is the Community Rede- velopment Plan for the Omni Area CRA. August 1984 Design Standards and Guidelines for the Southeast Overtown / Park West Rede- velopment Project This document was prepared by the Downtown Development Authority for the SEOPW CRA. These standards contain many common sense practices for treat- ing pavement and landscaping on public streets. The guidelines however reinforce a plan that is heavily dependent upon a wide landscaped pedestrian mall, an idea since widely discredited nationally. The small segment of the pedestrian mall that Pag Attachment: File # 4848 -Backup (4848 : Resolution Accepting the Amended 2018 Southeast Overtown Packet Pg. 117 was constructed on NW 9th Street in the late 1980's has already been re -opened to traffic. February 1989 The Historic Overtown Folklife Village, Master Plan / Urban Design Guidelines. This plan and accompanying guidelines were prepared for the Black Archives, History and Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc. by Ronald E. Frazier & Associ- ates. The plan surveys a three -block area of historic buildings and offers architectur- al guidelines for buildings. 1989 Downtown Miami Master Plan 1989 This document was prepared by the City of Miami Department of Planning, Build- ing, & Zoning and the Downtown Devel- opment Authority. This plan was officially adopted by the City Commission in 1989 and continues to guide decision making for the downtown. May 1997 Master Plan for Historic Overtown Folk - life Village, May 1997. This plan was prepared by Duany, Plater- Zyberk & Company as an update to the 1989 plan for the Black Archives. It offers new implementation strategies for the pre- vious plan. 1998 NW 3rd Avenue Priority Business Corridor. This document prepared by Bermel- lo-Ajamil & Partners, Inc for the SEOPW CRA examines the physical existing con- ditions along this historic commercial corridor. Recommendations are !so included to stimulate business. September 1999 City of Miami Community Redevel- opment Agency, Fiscal Year 2000 and 5-Year Plan 2000-2004, Budgeted Projects and Programs Prepared by the SEOPW CRA, this document lays out the current five-year plan of programs and expenditures. Projects and programs from this document have been included in the SEOPW Community Redevelopment Plan. March 2000 Overtown, Redevelopment Area Design Charrette Report This document was prepared by Trea- sure Coast Regional Planning Council and produced through a grant from the Florida Department of Community Affairs to the South Florida Regional Planning Council for Eastward Ho initiatives. SFRPC brought in the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to provide a community design charrette workshop and produce a detailed plan for all Overtown. Many local architects and planners participated along 3.1.a with local property owners and residents. The plan showed how the community can redevelop over time with small incremen- tal improvements and reinvestment, unlike typical grand schemes. Unfortunately, the plan failed to capture the excitement needed in the investment community and official circles and is perceived by some members of the community as the latest in a string of broken promises. March 2000 Housing Needs and Potential of the Overtown / Park West Area This document was prepared by Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research, Inc. for South Florida Partnership Office Fannie Mae. It is a market housing study. Spring 2000 History of the City of Miami, A summary of its past in pictures, maps and writings.

The Greenprint Plan is a strategic plan to design and build an interconnected system of urban open spaces, including parks, greens, gardens, plazas, bikeways and sidewalks. December 2002 Overtown: A Look Back, Connections to the Future This plan was prepared by Urban Design Associates on behalf of the Collins Center for Public Policy, Inc and the Overtown Civic Partnership. The document analyzes the existing conditions and shows design alter- natives for "Downtown Overtown," the core area of Overtown. November 2003 Miami at Midnight This report was prepared by Thomas F. Gustafson, P.A. to examine the use of narrow gauge rail modality in the SEOPW and OMNI CRA areas and to suggest loca- tions for liner buildings and related parking structures.

Enclosures: File # 4835 - Backup TPPN BACKGROUND: Built in 1973, Town Park Plaza North is a residential housing complex consisting of 20 buildings and 169 condominium units. Town Park Plaza North is one of the few communities in the Redevelopment Area consisting of homeowners, of which, some individuals have owned and resided in their property for over 40 years. The condition of Town Park Plaza North poses significant risk of health and safety to its occupants, and in turn, extensive rehabilitation is needed, as evidenced by structural cracks, unsecured railings, deteriorating plumbing, rotting wood, and outdated electrical wiring. In direct response to these conditions, on October 24, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the CRA's Board of Commissioners passed Resolution Nos. CRA-R- 13-0068 and CRA-R-14-0062, which authorized the issuance of a grant, in an amount not to exceed $15,033,333.00 to perform a full -gut rehabilitation to the units within Town Park Plaza North, to rehabilitate the exterior of the buildings, and to perform site work. Since beginning the rehabilitation project, several events have resulted in the need to increase the grant amount by $7,500.00.00 in order to continue and to finish the rehabilitation project at Town Park Plaza North. JUSTIFICATION: First, in an effort to deliver on a ten year promise to rehab all three Town Park communities, the CRA dispensed with a timely assessment and awarded the contract based on a budget submitted by the general contractor. Second, the submitted general contractor budget underestimated the cost associated with the scope of work. The general contractor bidded approximately $50,000.00 per unit when the actual cost, consistent with the rehabilitation project at Town Park Plaza South is closer to $100,000.00 per unit. Packet Pg. 183 3.3 Third, the project incurred several unforeseen conditions that resulted in construction delays, which had a direct impact on increasing construction, as well as, relocation costs. Lastly, housing availability within Overtown for relocations of both Town Park Plaza North and Town Park Plaza south were scarce which resulted in additional delays and additional costs. Section 2, Goal 3, at page 11, of the 2009 Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Plan ("Plan") lists the "creati[on of] infill housing, diversity in housing types, and retaining affordable housing," as a stated redevelopment goal. Section 2, Principle 2, at page 14, of the Plan provides that "[t]he neighborhood has to retain access to affordable housing even as the neighborhood becomes more desirable to households with greater means." Further, Principle 2 states that "Overtown has to retain affordable housing, and first priority to affordable housing ... must be given to existing and former residents of Overtown." The Plan, at page 22, outlines the CRA's "Housing Policy", which highlights the importance for maintaining affordable housing in the Redevelopment Area. FUNDING: $7,500,000.00 allocated from SEOPW Tax Increment Fund, entitled "Other Grants and Aids" Account No. 10050.920101.883000.0000.00000.

Barber Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex April 10, 2018 Mr. Cornelius Shiver, Director Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Agency 819 NW 2nd Avenue, Floor 3 Miami, FL 33136 Dear Mr. Shiver: The Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater (BAHLT) Cultural Arts Complex mission is to promote and celebrate the rich history and culture of the community. The mission is carried out while providing training and jobs through the creation of a regional tourist designation in Miami's historically black Overtown community. We have been successful over the past four (4) years with the support of the SEOPW CRA serving as the anchor and driving force of the revival of the Historic Overtown Entertainment District. Since completing the GOB expansion of the Historic Lyric Theater in 2014, the Black Archives has implemented programming that brings roughly 20,000 residents and tourists to the Overtown area annually. Through the vibrant activities ranging from entertainment, exhibitions, education, and research at BAHLT, we have been able to train and provide numerous Overtown residents with employment at the center. We would like to continue building on the past success and create more sustainable activity by that would bring more activity to BAHLT, to further engage residents and tourists around arts, culture, and entertainment. We know that supporting BAHLT with this long term request will certainly continue the work that we have done in making the area more attractive to visitors and increase the nightlife activity that supports the Historic Overtown Entertainment District. We are requesting a four (4) year committed grant from the SEOPW CRA in the amount of six hundred thousand ($600,000.00) dollars per year for the four years. Having the four (4) year commitment will increase our ability to leverage quality programming, over more dates, which will allow us to offer more sustainable employment to residents through the bolstered activity. The commitment is what cultural affairs professionals have deemed necessary to operate a successful cultural arts complex of our stature effectively on an annual basis. We hope that SEOPW will support funding on this level or greater because the Black Archives has been the catalyst for change in this community since 1977, and the Historic Lyric Theater has been an anchor in this community since 1913. Overtown has a rich cultural history that should be celebrated and highlighted which is what we strive hard to achieve with the support of the Southeast Overtown Park West CRA. Thank you.

For forty (40) years, the Black Archives has served thousands of organizations from adult and youth groups, city and county officials, to private and public markets with programming in the South Florida area through instruction, research support, preservation initiatives, career mentoring, educational consultations, and governmental support. The Black Archives believes that history shapes people's lives, and through the work of the founder and her philosophy that, "without vision the people perish...", the Black Archives has been committed to helping the South Florida community reach far and beyond their existing limitations or perceptions —creating a standard and goal that through history, people can accomplish greater things with each challenge. Over the years, the Black Archives has amassed a number of research materials from the community, and the collection has become the prime example of how history cultivates redevelopment in urban communities. The collection has led the preservation of several historic landmarks in the community and has supported the historic designation locally and nationally of many buildings in Miami -Dade County. Since the completion of a Miami -Dade County funded ten million dollar ($10,000,000.00) stage expansion and building of the Archival offices and exhibit space through the General Obligation Bond, we reopened the facility as the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater (BAHLT) Cultural Arts Complex in 2014. The Historic Lyric Theater was built in 1913 by Geder Walker, a black businessman, and was the primary anchor for the Overtown (Colored Town) neighborhood of Miami, Florida. The theater was the key center of entertainment and culture for the black pioneer community during its heyday. BAHLT now in the new millennium has returned as the anchor that drives the redevelopment in the Overtown community. Serving as the base for visitors to utilize, enjoy, learn, and discover their past, while rediscovering the rich ancestral history that prevails in this community. In the years since the completion of the expansion, the Black Archives has developed partnerships with like institutions that benefit citizens of the City of Miami, Miami Dade County, and most importantly, the Overtown community. Through the operation of the facility, the BAF has continued the work of constructing an empowering atmosphere that supports, and encourages the residents of the Overtown community through the creation of jobs to become more productive and active community members. The new complex has become a resource for anyone engaging in the field of urban development, archival management, architecture, social research, literary, visual and performing arts, cultural tourist training, etc., as well as an instrument for reconfirming a commitment to the revitalization of the community of Historic Overtown and the development of the Overtown Entertainment District.

As the Lyric was in 1913, still today is a driving force in preserving the values of this community, while serving as the amabassador and gateway that orients new businesses, and new visitors and guests to this area. In order to continue to successfully serve in this capacity and as a nationally recognized African Diaspora cultural heritage resource center, the Black Archives seeks support funding from the Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Agency for a period of four years, which will help the organization develop stronger programming and leverage that could attract other revenue resources to this community and grow support for this organization. Funding from the SEOPW CRA will enable us to advance our programming efforts, further engaging residents and tourists around arts and culture entertainment and nightlife in the Overtown Entertainment District.

Since 1994, Suited for Success has provided services to over 60,000 low-income men, women and youth in Miami -Dade County. At SFS we have instilled a level of confidence, dignity and empowerment among our at -risk populations in Miami and have seen great success stories. There is a great demand and need for our services, and last year alone we provided services to over 1,000 adults and youth seeking employment of which almost 400 came from the SEOPW/CRA community. As a nonprofit organization we rely on government assistance by means of grants to keep our organization going. As we enter our 9th year in the SEOPW/CRA neighborhood here are some of the accomplishments we have had over the past year: • We served nearly 400 individuals from Overtown and surrounding neighborhoods and held 15 training programs at partners such as MDC, Chapman Partnership and Career Source. • We reached out and established relationships with the following local agencies/businesses: Overtown Youth Center, YWCA, Camillus House, Urgent Inc., Overtown Business Resource Center, NANA, MDC Hospitality Training Institute, Booker T. Washington Senior High School, Miami Rescue Mission, Community Action Agency, and the Overtown Children and Youth Coalition (OCYC). • We launched a new Vets for Success program, which provided advanced employment skills training to 58 male and female veterans and family members in its first three cohorts. • We recently launched monthly employment skills training workshops open to all Overtown residents who are seeking gainful employment. With these workshops, we hope to reach even more Overtown residents with substantive and small -group training to further support their job search. We are working with the Overtown Business Resource Center and other partners to reach those in need of this training. • We have increased our community outreach activities, strengthening relationships with Overtown residents and agencies to spread the word about our programs. I would like to request that we be placed on the March or April agenda of the CRA Commission meeting so that we can avoid any interruption of services to the community as our current contract ends May 31, 2018. We look forward to another successful year of providing the much needed services to our local residents. Thank you for you (consideration.

Packet Pg. 219 3.5.a Suited for Success Grant Proposal CRA FY 2018-19 The mission of Suited for Success (SFS) is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged men, women and youth by providing employment skills training, professional business attire for job interviews, a network of support and the career development tools to help them thrive in work and in life. We strive to provide assistance for the unemployed and under -employed adults and youth in the Overtown community helping them gain the professional skills they will need to find employment, accelerate their job search and build confidence through ongoing training sessions, one-on-one career coaching and networking in a supportive environment. History of Suited for Success Founded in 1994, Suited for Success answered a vital need for career -building initiatives after welfare reform was instituted. The Welfare Reform Act in 1996 set time restrictions for recipients on public assistance, which in turn forced heads of households into low -wage jobs. Because of the rapid increase in the number of poor, working adults, they had become a much underserved segment of society. Through our programs and services, Suited for Success was able to answer the needs of a growing, poverty-stricken workforce. Suited for Success has seen over 60,000 individuals since inception through its men's, women's (Dress for Success Miami) and youth programs. Program Description As a part of our program, job training classes are held at our location at The Culmer Center as well as at partnering agencies throughout Miami -Dade County. Our skills training course prepares clients on a variety of topics: Managing the job search; Interviewing skills; Proper dress; Resume writing; Financial literacy; Mock interviews. Once training has been completed, clients are given an appointment to receive business attire for their job interview. Clients arrive at SFS by referral only from over 125 social service agencies, including homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and welfare -to -work job training centers. These partnering agencies refer clients to us while adhering to our strict referral criteria. In an average year, over 1,000 clients will be served by SFS. Approximately 50% of our clients are African -American, 45% are Hispanic and 5% are defined as "other" which includes Asian -American, Native American and those who don't define their background. Last year alone we provided services to 1,025 clients of which almost 400 adults and youth came from the Overtown community. Upon completion of the employment skills training course, clients receive an appointment at the SFS office to get them ready for their interviews. Trained volunteers provide one-on-one help and select a wardrobe appropriate for a job interview. Our volunteers are trained to gently guide the clients through the selection process, making recommendations and educating them on workplace expectations. Each client, be it man or woman, who comes to SFS receives personal attention and is treated with dignity and respect. Clients are encouraged to discuss their upcoming interview, professional presentation, child-care plans, and other concerns. Creating a positive environment for the client, SFS strives to stimulate self-confidence helping clients overcome the fears associated with job interviewing.

Packet Pg. 220 3.5.a Suited for Success wants to build upon our 22+ successful years of providing programs that support economic and social development to low-income clients who are entering or returning to the workforce. When we assist a client with skills to enable them to feel rnore confident in their job search and ultimately find employment we are helping a future generation into systematic change. Everyday we work towards getting men, women and their children out of poverty and into self-sufficiency by providing a cadre of services to move them into self-sufficiency. Suited for Success is requesting that the CRA consider our request for $180,000 to fund our program for 2018-19. This funding will enable us to hire a new trainer to sand increase our community employment skills training workshops, as well as to bolster our marketing and outreach efforts to the community.

This past year we have had referrals from the following agencies located within the CRA boundaries: Transitions, Inc., Overtown Youth Center, YWCA, Camillus House, Urgent Inc., Better Way of Miami, NANA, Overtown NET Office, MDC Hospitality Training Institute, Chapman Partnership, Booker T. Washington Senior High School and Touching Miami with Love. These are only a partial list of the 125 agencies that refer clients to our office throughout the year. We have established relationships with Walmart, Carnival Cruise Lines, Miami Dade College and Macy's. In addition, Suited for Success is a member of the Overtown Children and Youth Coalition, working with community partners to enhance the services in Overtown for the underserved youth. Our location in The Culmer Center, 1600 NW 3rd Avenue, in the heart of Overtown gives us access to more space, training rooms and computer Tabs which will enhance our ongoing training programs.

There will be many other benefits from this fun summer activity including learning grammar, enhancing their knowledge, competitive spirit and vocabulary, and develop their cognitive skills, confidence and public speaking skills. Trophies and prizes are awarded to 1st 2nd and 3rd place winners. 3.6.a tip d THE ARTS Research shows that girls who are involved in arts programs and activities especially in under-resourced communities are more likely to win an academic award, to receive a community service award, more likely to win a school attendance award, more likely to participate in a math or science fair and score higher on their SAT college admission test scores if they have been involved for more than four years of after -school and summer arts study. At Girl Power we take our art very seriously and have engaged a plethora of art partners to ensure our girls have a summer that include the arts. Our partners include Perez Art Museum Miami, Museum of Contemporary Art, poetry writing, dance and yoga. MATH AND SCIENCE LABS Summer is the time for fun! It's also the time when academic skills can slip, making it hard for girls to maintain the progress they have worked so hard to achieve. The Math Labs are designed to help each girl discover her strengths, exercise her creativity, overcome academic difficulties, and prepare for the school year ahead. Through the exploration of math and science labs girls benefit from the continuity necessary for maintaining academic progress. FIELD TRIPS Our summer field trips allow students to visit a variety of colleges/universities, cultural institutions, including art, natural history and science museums, the theatre and beaches. We see these experiences as central to our summer camp mission. The majority of our girls is at a disadvantage and is less likely to have these experiences outside of Girl Power. Our summer field trips culminates with a day trip to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, where they will explore Space Shuttle Atlantis, tour NASA's spaceflight operations, interact with science exhibits and so much more.

It was inhabited by people who worked on the rai 3 id and other early industrial and commercial ventures, and was a thriving center of commerce and cultu for the Black community, particularly for music and entertainment in the 1940s and 1950s. Over the decades, the area declined economically due to migration of middle-class Blacks and the o construction of I-95 and I-395 that bisected the community. In recent years there have been efforts tc preserve the historical churches and the Lyric Theatre and to revitalize the entire Overtown area. The City of Miami and Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Agency in their infinite wisdoms has not forgotten the promises that were made to the people of the Overtown community to restore the neighborhood. :L The SEOPW CRA recognizes that structural revitalization of a community with new buildings, r infrastructure and state of the arts facilities without economic revitalization of the existing businesses and employment opportunities for the residents, recognizes that it would be inconsistent with its goa foster progress and growth that reflects the vision and priority of the community. The Overtown community has transformed over the past decade, it has become one of the fastest growing and most desired place to live, work and play in South Florida, which makes Overtown a pc of destination for many. On June of 2015, the City Council of the City of Miami Gardens, Florida issued an ordinance; ordin: e number 2015-06-341. This ordinance is known as the City of Miami Gardens Business and Resident Economic Plan or CMG-BREP. This economic plan is designed to ensure that the residents and the m businesses of Miami Gardens not only see and enjoy the structural revitalization of the community, 1 this ordinance guarantees that they will take part in the economic revitalization and be assured that tl dollars that the City of Miami Gardens gets from its residents and the dollars that they get on behalf a) is residents, will now find its way back into the homes of the residents they serve. The City of Miami Gardens Community Development Department has a motto that says, "Connecting the pieces for a stronger community." This motto echoes the SEOPW CRA written poll s that will connect the Overtown community to its resources and make it stronger. co co Packet Pg. 239 "We Put The Community To Work "HISTORY Continue" The City of Miami Department of Community & Economic Development mission statement is to ass in creating a viable urban community for the neediest people in our City while reducing poverty, embracing diversity, assisting with economic development, and improving the overall quality of life. In November 2004 the SEOPW CRA conducted the Dover Kohl study that outlined 14 guiding principles aimed to facilitate the redevelopment of the Overtown community.

Within the plan, principle number 4 of 14 states "There must be variety in employment opportunities ; id an EMPLOYMENT CENTER should be located within the neighborhoods to accommodate those N wish to live in proximity to their work and reduce dependence on the automobile and long commutes In conclusion the general consensus in the community was that employment opportunities should be y high priority and made available to the existing residents of the Overtown Community. "PROBLEM" T co Overtown is faced with a unique situation when it comes to employment, not only are the residents fa 6 with high unemployment and underemployment.

TheUrbanCollective is pleased to present this proposal for your review and consideration to produce Art Africa Miami 2018. We look forward to partnering with the Southeast Overtown Park West CRA once again to provide Historic Overtown with exciting cultural programming that will serve to continue to elevate Overtown's brand in our local community as a cultural hub, as well as, enhance the rebirth of Overtown's history as the epicenter of Black Art and Culture in Miami. The Art Africa Miami Arts Fair is the premiere showcase of contemporary visual artists from the African Diaspora during the Art Basel Miami exhibition week, located every year since its inception in the epicenter of Miami's Historic Overtown. Established in 2011, Art Africa Miami - with the support of artists, galleries, museums, and the SEOPW CRA - is comprised of a group of seasoned professionals who possess the creative planning, event planning and management skills necessary to produce a first class art and cultural exhibition. We operate as an urban gallery featuring fine artwork from Africa and the Diaspora. We place emphasis on using our brand exposure to promote emerging local African, African -American and Caribbean artists from the South Florida community. Over the course of 13 years, TheUrbanCollective has sponsored and hosted numerous events, including producing the renowned Art Africa Miami Arts Fair from 2011-2017, featuring lectures, film screenings, community youth art events and shows in support of the local art scene. In doing so, TheUrbanCollective has fashioned itself as a cultural reference point within the local Black arts community.

We continue to pay homage to the centrality of Africa's artistic contribution to the modern world and to brand art from the Miami Black art community as a significant attraction during Art Basel Miami annually. TheUrbanCollective will house a number of galleries building an entire theme around the art and culture of Africa and its Diaspora, providing a centralized space to house the art of this region during Art Basel. Art Africa Miami Arts Fair will be hosted in the historic Clyde Killins Pool Hall that will give our fair goers and exhibitors an opportunity to experience an unparalleled body of work curated by art professionals whose contributions to the art world are extensive and of critical importance to both seasoned and emerging artists and galleries alike. This will be our third consecutive year in this significant location in the hub of Historic Overtown. As in 2017, we will utilize the entire 8,000 square feet, both first and second floors, with an impressive program featuring visual artists, salon talks, film screenings, youth engagement and much more. The 2018 showcase will span over five days to accommodate interest and outreach from not only throughout North America but also the Caribbean, Africa, South America and Europe. Each year Art Basel Miami attracts a multitude of art buyers, collectors, curators and gallery owners to our fair city. It draws over 75,000 visitors, offers more than 5,000 gallery venues and creates over $2.5 billion in sales revenue throughout this event. The number of museums, galleries, and studios that proffer this wealth of visual art continue to increase exponentially each year and in response, the visitors and the revenues they bring to the community at large also continue to increase. In short, Art Basel Miami is the world's pre-eminent contemporary art fair whose cultural significance and revenue generating ability cannot be under estimated. For 2018, it is our intent as well to program the greenspace directly north of the Clyde Killins building. This space will accommodate a series of outdoor large scale totems and pop-up containers with a curated selection of art -related vendors. As South Florida temporarily transforms into the international Mecca for art during Art Basel Miami, the local Black art community continues its efforts to establish a significant presence in the expo. Since the launch of the Art Africa Miami Arts Fair in 2011, several others have followed suit and created other venues that exhibit art from the African Diaspora, and these venues tend to be placed within the heritage communities, scattered in various smaller art spaces throughout the city. The Art Africa Miami Arts Fair is the first art fair during Art Basel Miami to showcase solely art work from the Diaspora and we have received widespread recognition for it. The paucity of venues during Basel week that support and/or promote African art does a disservice to the fair itself and the city which hosts it. Attachment: File # 4844 -Backup 2 (4844: Resolution Authorizing a Grant in the amount of $190,000.00 and an Expenditure to Packet Pg. 294 3.10.b It is our belief that Historic Overtown, as the bygone epicenter of Black Arts and Culture, must continue to be the destination for this yearly celebration of the very best cultural capital emanating from the African Diaspora; a first class event bridging Historic Overtown's swinging past with its elegant future. Fair goers will have the opportunity to Shop, Dine and Explore the best of Overtown's commercial businesses as we venture to engage local vendors by offering Art Africa Specials during the run of the event. This will prove a mutually beneficial business model for both our local small businesses, Miami CRA, and Art Africa Miami alike. By advancing both local and global African, African -American and Afro -Caribbean artists, Art Africa Miami has created a wider audience and broadened the scope of opportunities available to the artists, galleries and local small businesses that participate in the successful fruition of Art Africa Miami Arts fair. We seek each year to transform, educate and enlighten the international community to the depth and breadth of art emanating from our local Black community, providing artists from the Diaspora a chance to leave their distinct mark on Art Basel and the international art clientele which it attracts. For 2018, we have extended invitations to an esteemed list of renowned artists, curators and gallerists to exhibit in this landmark effort and as you are a member of this revered group, we look forward to your participation.

It is our commitment to reinforce the cultural branding of Overtown year round. New for 2018, our marketing efforts will be extended to include our partnership with a Host Hotel for Art Africa Miami 2018. We now have the recognition and have become a destination for tourists visiting South Florida during Art Basel Miami week. Basel / Miami Art Week is very hectic and overwhelming with an average annual 80,000 visitors trying to navigate all that Miami has to offer during this exciting week. We will work to define the "Black Basel Experience" for art and culture. Exhibition Schedule December The support of the Art Africa Miami Arts Fair has grown substantially each year by locals and visitors from abroad. Our schedule will match the week-long festivities of Miami Art Week, as promoted worldwide by the Greater Miami Visitors and Convention Bureau. This brings huge value and greater awareness of the cultural legacy native to the Historic Overtown neighborhood. Attachment "A" is our 2017 Program Catalog which demonstrates the high caliber of programming being executed with measurable growth on an annual basis.

Art Africa Marketing Strategy It is our intent to enter into formal agreements with several of our partners assisting us in our efforts to create this exciting event — the 8th Annual Art Africa Miami Arts Fair - during Art Basel Miami. The partnership arrangement seeks to link the three areas of importance that would make the event meaningful, attractive, successful, and add another flavor to the ambience of Art Basel Miami. This includes institutions such as museums, academic institutions, artists, curators, galleries, fashion designers, interior designers, etc. Museum We are working with nationally renowned museums that continue to lend their expertise in areas such as curatorship, art discussion panels, multi -media interactive installations, and general advisement to this important artistic cultural event. i aj Hunter Waite - CONTACT Yvette Harris 954.283.7195 786.Q07 92n Attachment: File # 4844 -Backup 2 (4844: Resolution Authorizing a Grant in the amount of $190,000.00 and an Expenditure to Packet Pg. 296 3.10.b Academia We are actively in discussions with interested local academic institutions that have art and art history departments including Nova Southeastern University and Florida International University, FLAASC, University of Miami and Florida Memorial University.

Local and International Art Fairs It is our desire to associate the Art Africa Miami Arts Fair with established national and international fairs such as Art Basel Miami, International Black Fine Arts Fair and Caribbean Fine Arts (CAFA) Fair. In closing, we cannot thank enough the City of Miami Board of Commissioners & the Southeast Overtown Park West CRA, its Director and staff members for the continued support and partnership throughout the years. It is because of you we have been a success. It is because of you, the artists we feature both locally and throughout the African Diaspora have grown in notoriety. It is because if you, Overtown's cultural currency has grown in the eyes of the international art and culture tourism audience.

The 2018 Urban Film Festival was held on August 31, 2018 — September 2, 2018. This resolution is the first opportunity to come before this board due to no board meeting being held in July 2018. FFH is a full -service production company located in Wynwood and was founded by Executive Producer Marco Mall and Creative Director Bla G. With a combination of over 20 years of experience, the founders have passed down knowledge to new age filmmakers advancing them into veterans. FFH has reinvested the capital from over 700 productions into acquiring the necessary gear and resources needed to underwrite the majority of expenses to develop their films. Currently, FFH is developing in-house content with their team of passionate filmmakers working together to tell the stories of our community and generation. FHH is seeking assistance with the cost associated with the 2018 Urban Film Festival that took place in Overtown on August 31, 2018 — September 2, 2018. The Urban Film Festival was a three day event focusing on connecting youth who are interested in the film industry with industry professionals through hands on panels and workshops. This festival provided interested Overtown youth with an opportunity to learn valuable skills directly from individuals with experience in the film industry.
