Request
Pursuant to Policy LU-1.6.4 of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP),
The above listed Applicants, collectively referred to as MCD Miami, LLC, are requesting
an amendment to Ordinance No. 10544, the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the MCNP
to 31 properties for a total of approximately 16.08 acres. The proposed amendment is
subject to the Expedited Review Process as established in Section 163.3184(3) and (5),
Florida Statutes. The property at 6001 NE 2 Avenue has an existing Future Land Use
(FLU) designation that is split between "Medium Density Restricted Commercial" and
"Restricted Commercial"; the existing FLU designation of the remaining properties is
"Light Industrial". The Applicant is requesting a change from these existing FLU
designations to "Restricted Commercial".
Concurrently, the Applicant (collectively referred to as "MCD Miami, LLC) is requesting a
change to the Miami 21 Zoning Atlas as a companion item. The request is being
submitted through the Special Area Plan ("SAP") process. The companion application
1
(File ID No. 4459) seeks to change the Miami 21 Zoning designations T5-O (5 parcels)
and D1 (33 parcels) to new designations "Magic City SAP/MCID-1", "Magic City
SAP/MCID-2", "Magic City SAP/T5-O", "Magic City SAP/D1".
The Neighborhood
The proposed FLUM amendment is located in the Little Haiti neighborhood.
Specifically, the properties are located in the eastern portion of Little Haiti, which
is characterized by a large concentration of industrial and light industrial
properties situated between the Florida East Coast railroad and NE 2 Avenue.
The larger Little Haiti neighborhood is defined as the area shown in Map 1 on the
next page.
Immediately northwest of the properties is the Little Haiti Soccer Park. This is an
important park for the neighborhood. It is the largest public park in Little Haiti and
is used widely by the community. Other public parks in the area include Eaton
Park, immediately to the east of the properties, and Legion Park, which is located
between Biscayne Boulevard and Biscayne Bay, to the east of the properties.
Legion Park is also used by many community members, who utilize its diverse
array of park facilities.
Another central community asset, the Little Haiti Cultural Complex, is located
directly south of the properties. The Little Haiti Cultural Complex is a multi-
purpose, city -owned community center with a wide range of facility types. The
community hosts many events through the complex, including local markets,
music and theater performances, and community meetings. The mission of the
Little Haiti Cultural Complex is "to present and preserve Afro -Caribbean cultures,
inspire the next generation of leaders and leverage arts and culture as tools for
transformation and community building."
The Florida East Coast (FEC) railroad bounds the properties on the east side.
The privately owned railroad recently began operating a daily passenger service
between Downtown Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, with the
ultimate goal of going on to Orlando. Local agencies are currently in the planning
stage for local passenger service through South Florida, with potential stations
being considered in Downtown Miami, around Midtown Miami, and around NE 79
Street.
To the west, across NE 2 Avenue, is the Notre Dame d'Haiti Catholic Church.
The church, which seats almost 1,400 parishioners, is another important
institution in the neighborhood.
Palm Grove, a designated Historic District, is to the east of the FEC railroad. That
neighborhood is known for its lush, residential character, with an eclectic mix of
architectural styles. Most of the styles in the neighborhood are representative of
the 1920's through the 1950's.
2
Transit facilities in the neighborhood consist of regular bus service along NE 2 Avenue,
with three bus lines running north and south. NE 62 Street has one bus line running east
and west, directly through the properties.

Existing and Proposed Future Land Use Designations
Thirty of the 31 parcels that are subject of this comprehensive plan amendment
have a FLU designation of Light Industrial and one parcel has a split FLU
designation of Medium Density Restricted Commercial and Restricted
Commercial. Attachment A of this report includes a table that summarizes the
current FLU designations, proposed FLU designations, and, because this
comprehensive plan amendment is accompanied by a rezone application through
the SAP process, the table includes the zoning changes that are requested in
concert with the changes to the FLUM. The Existing FLUM is available in
Attachment B.
Existing FLU Designation: Light Industrial
The majority of this request is to change the comprehensive plan by amending the
FLUM with regard to the City's inventory of Light Industrial land. The primary intent of
this land use classification is to allow mixed use development within this land use
classification, and further, to facilitate the ability of developing a mixed occupancy within
a unit in which more than one type of use is provided under Live/Work or Work/Live
zoning districts of the City's land development regulations.
Areas designated as "Light Industrial" allow all activities included in the "Restricted
Commercial" and "General Commercial" designations, as well as wholesaling and
distribution activities that generally serve the needs of other businesses; generally
require on and off loading facilities; and benefit from close proximity to general
commercial areas. These commercial activities (beyond those permitted in the
"Restricted Commercial" and "General Commercial" designations) include retailing of
second hand items, new and used vehicle sales, parking lots and garages, wholesaling,
warehousing, light manufacturing and assembly and other activities whose scale of
operation and land use impacts are similar to those uses described above.
This category also allows commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels for
transients. This land use category shall not permit storing, packaging, handling,
processing or distribution of explosive, flammable or otherwise hazardous materials;
scrap yards; and health clinics.
The hazard level of an activity shall be one of the determining factors as to whether that
activity shall be permissible within a Light Industrial district; the detailed provisions of the
applicable land development regulations shall prohibit high-level hazard activities within
live/work developments.
Areas designated as "Light Industrial" allow residential uses to a maximum density of 36
dwelling units per acre, and the nonresidential portions of developments within areas
designated as "Light Industrial" allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 10.0 times the
net lot area of the subject property
Affordable housing developments that are certified by the City as having a complete
application for development as of the effective date of the proposed Land Development
Regulations shall be permitted with densities up to 150 dwelling units per acre but must
obtain all building permits by December 17, 2012, at which time any rights herein to
building permits shall expire.
4
All such uses and mixes of uses shall be subject to the detailed provisions of the
applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of
service for facilities and services included in the City's adopted concurrency
management requirements.
Existing FLU Designation: Medium Density Restricted Commercial
One parcel subject to this request at 6001 NE 2 Avenue is partially designated as
Medium Density Restricted Commercial. Areas designated as "Medium Density
Restricted Commercial" allow residential uses (except rescue missions) to a maximum
density equivalent to "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the same
limiting conditions; transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels. This
category also allows general office use, clinics and laboratories, auditoriums, libraries,
convention facilities, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. Also
allowed are commercial activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service
needs of the public, typically requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located
along arterial or collector roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and
professional services, real estate, banking and other financial services, restaurants,
saloons and cafes, general entertainment facilities, private clubs and recreation facilities,
major sports and exhibition or entertainment facilities and other commercial activities
whose scale and land use impacts are similar in nature to those uses described above.
This category also includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as
permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Medium
Density Restricted Commercial" allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 6.0 times the
net lot area of the subject property.
Proposed FLU Designation: Restricted Commercial
The Applicant proposes to change all 31 parcels to Restricted Commercial. Areas
designated as "Restricted Commercial" allow residential uses (except rescue missions)
to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the
same limiting conditions and a finding by the Planning Director that the proposed site's
proximity to other residentially zoned property makes it a logical extension or
continuation of existing residential development and that adequate services and
amenities exist in the adjacent area to accommodate the needs of potential residents;
transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels. This category also allows
general office use; clinics and laboratories, auditoriums, libraries, convention facilities,
places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. Also allowed are commercial
activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public, typically
requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located along arterial or collector
roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and professional services, real
estate, banking and other financial services, restaurants, saloons and cafes, general
entertainment facilities, private clubs and recreation facilities, major sports and exhibition
or entertainment facilities and other commercial activities whose scale and land use
impacts are similar in nature to those uses described above. This category also includes
commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Restricted
Commercial" allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 7.0 times the net lot area of the
subject property; such FLR may be increased upon compliance with the detailed
5
provisions of the applicable land development regulations; however, may not exceed a
total FLR of 11.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. Properties designated as
"Restricted Commercial" in the Edgewater Area allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of
17.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. Properties designated as "Restricted
Commercial" in the Urban Central Business District and Buena Vista Yards Regional
Activity Center allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 37.0 times the net lot area of the
subject property. All such uses and mixes of uses shall be subject to the detailed
provisions of the applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of
required levels of service for facilities and services included in the City's adopted
concurrency management requirements. Nonresidential floor area is the floor area that
supports nonresidential uses within the inside perimeter of the outside walls of the
building including hallways, stairs, closets, thickness of walls, columns and other
features, and parking and loading areas, and excluding only open air corridors, porches,
balconies and roof areas.
The proposed FLUM for this application is available in Attachment C.
The Site in Context: FLU Designations in A 1/4-Mile Study
Area
To understand the site in context, a 1/4-mile study area from the edge of the parcels of
the subject parcels of this comprehensive plan amendment was created. The study area
measures 284.4 acres and contains 12 different FLU designations within it. The largest
FLU designations within the study area are: Major Institutional (27.3 acres); Medium
Density Multifamily Residential (31.3 acres); Duplex Residential (45.7 acres); Restricted
Commercial (49.1 acres); and Light Industrial (50.2 acres).
While the study area has similar quantities of the following designations as the City
overall —Low Density Restricted Commercial, Low Density Multifamily Residential,
General Commercial, Duplex Residential, and Restricted Commercial; there is a
remarkable difference in two FLU designations —Single Family — Residential (28 percent
of the City is made up of this FLU designation but the study area only has 5 percent of
this type of land) and Light Industrial (the City only 2 percent of this type of land but in
the study area there is 50 percent). The table below summarizes the distributions of FLU
designations throughout the study area.

* "Other" FLU designations include designations throughout the city that are not captured withi n the 1/4-mi le study area.
Within the City of Miami, 62 percent of the land is designated Single Family — Residential
(28 percent), Duplex — Residential (18 percent) and Restricted Commercial (17 percent).
The remaining 12 FLU designations make up the remaining 38 percent of the City's land
area. Of that remaining 38 percent of land, less than 5 percent is designated either Light
Industrial or Industrial. Given the reality of this land use schema, the study area is
remarkable in that 35 percent of the land within it (99 acres or 35 percent of the study
area) are designated for intense uses with a Light Industrial designation or Restricted
Commercial. The map below depicts the FLU designations within the study area.

Low- and Moderate -Incomes within the 1/4-Mile Study Area
To study income within the study area Census Block Group data from the 2010 Census
was used. Within the %-mile study area, nearly 80 percent of the land area is described
by the 2010 Census as between 70 and 100 percent low to moderate income. The Area
Median Income (AMI) is a statistic determined by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). This statistic is established for the entirety of Miami -Dade County.
Currently, AMI is set at $52,300. Based on this AMI for the County, income limits for low -
to -moderate income are $26,150 (low) and $41,840 (moderate). Based on these
parameters, the map below indicates that most of the study area is populated by
individuals with rather low incomes.

Little Haiti in More Detail: The Little Haiti Community Needs Assessment
For richer understanding of the local area, the Little Haiti Community Needs Assessment
(2015) provides more detail about the conditions of the community. The study area does
not overlap with that of the study area created by Planning Department staff for the
current application; however, with the study's observations are germane to this
comprehensive plan amendment application because of the proximity of the proposal to
the Little Haiti Needs Assessment's ("Needs Assessment") study area to the Magic City
proposal site.
The Needs Assessment focuses on seven Census Tracts (which occupy nearly the
same geography as that of the boundary of the Little Haiti neighborhood, depicted in
8
Map 1, on page 3), taking data from the American Community Survey (ACS) providing 5-
year estimates from 2009-2013. The study finds that Little Haiti's population was 74.5
percent Black/African American and 20.5 percent Hispanic compared to the City of
Miami which has approximately a 16.3 percent Black/African American and 70.0 percent
Hispanic population. Haitian ancestry for the Little Haitian neighborhood is estimated at
between 35 and 76 percent, depending on Census Tract.
There are 9,600 households in Little Haiti with married couples in 22 percent of families.
Seventeen percent of families are headed by female heads -of -households with children
present. Nonfamily households account for 42 percent of the area. The table below
summarizes these observations.
Family Household Types in Little Haiti
Household Type Percentag
Family Households 58%
Married -Couple Households 22%
Female households, no husband present, child 17%
Grandparents, living with children 10%
Nonfamily Households 42%
Reproduced from Little Haiti Community Needs Assessment
While the %-mile study area establishes that the immediate vicinity of the Magic City
SAP area is surrounded by neighborhoods with low- and moderate -incomes, the Needs
Assessment reveals that the extent of the population with low and very -low incomes is
even more profound throughout the Little Haiti neighborhood. Forty-seven percent of the
individuals who live in Little Haiti live in poverty and the majority of households have
incomes under $10,000. Children suffer disproportionately: 64.6 percent of related
children under 18 are found to be below the poverty level while 40.3 percent of people
over 65 live with the same means. The graph below is reproduced from the Assessment,
and it summarizes a breakdown on Little Haiti incomes.

The Magic City Innovation District and the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
According to the Letter of Intent that accompanies this application, the Magic City
Innovation District Special Area Plan will be a unique and unparalleled mixed -use
campus focused on local entrepreneurship and innovation in technology, the arts and
entertainment, sustainability and resiliency, health and wellness. The proposed SAP
includes a development program which will create an integrated urban campus of
residential, commercial office, research and entertainment uses built around a grand
pedestrian promenade civic space at the center of the project.
The following features of the Application draw the attention of the Community Planning
Division for closer review:
1. Characterization of the SAP as an "Innovation District";
2. Characterization of the SAP as "resilient" and as "improving resiliency"; and
3. Income levels for residents at stabilization in the Economic Impact Analysis;
1. Characterization of the SAP as an "Innovation District"
The Brookings Institute has extensively researched innovation districts and describes
them in the following way:
Innovation districts facilitate the creation and commercialization of new ideas and
support metropolitan economies by growing jobs in ways that leverage their
distinct economic attributes. These districts build on and revalue the intrinsic
qualities of cities: proximity, density, authenticity, and vibrant places. Given the
proximity of many districts to low-income neighborhoods and the large number of
sub -baccalaureate jobs many provide, their intentional development can be a tool
to help connect disadvantaged populations to employment and educational
opportunities. (Brookings Institute, 2018)
Along these lines, Brookings offers 12 principles guiding innovation districts based on its
research with Projects for Public Spaces (PPS):
1. The clustering of innovative sectors and research strengths is the backbone of
innovation districts.
2. For innovation districts, convergence —the melding of disparate sectors and
disciplines —is king.
3. Districts are supercharged by a diversity of institutions, companies, and start-ups.
4. Connectivity and proximity are the underpinnings of strong district ecosystems.
5. Innovation districts need a range of strategies —large and small moves, long-term
and immediate.
6. Programming is paramount.
7. Social interactions between workers —essential to collaboration, learning, and
inspiration —occur in concentrated "hot spots."
8. Make innovation visible and public.
9. Embed the values of diversity and inclusion in all visions, goals, and strategies.
10. Get ahead of affordability issues.
10
11. Innovative finance is fundamental to catalyzing growth.
12. Long-term success demands a collaborative approach to governance.
(Brookings Institute, 2018, p. 15)
In addition to these principles, there is guidance for land use and land development for
planning. Namely, for cities with strong and growing economies, the authors of the report
caution against across-the-board rezoning for increasing density, proximity, and mixing
of uses due to the effect such zoning changes have on land prices. The report suggests
that the best zoning solutions in strong markets is to "keep base zoning low with uses
limited to producer -type activity, but then permit extra density or more profitable
residential, retail, and commercial uses through ... discretionary zoning process[es]."
(Brookings Institute, 2018, pp. 77-78)
2. Characterization of the SAP as "resilient" and as "improving
resiliency."
The City of Miami is a member of the 100 Resilient Cities coalition and among the
executive staff members in the City is its Chief Resilience Officer who oversees the
Office of Resilience and Sustainability. 100 Resilient Cities defines "Resilience" in the
following way:
[T]he capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems
within a city to survive, adapt, and grow, no matter what kinds of chronic stresses
and acute shocks they experience. Shocks are typically considered single event
disasters, such as fires, earthquakes, and floods. Stresses are factors that
pressure a city on a daily or reoccurring basis, such as chronic food and water
shortages, an overtaxed transportation system, endemic violence or high
unemployment. City resilience is about making a city better, in both good times
and bad, for the benefit of all its citizens, particularly the poor and vulnerable.
(100 Resilient Cities, 2018)
In the Letter of Intent, the Applicant points out that the proposed SAP is located on "a
high coastal ridge [that] will help to protect the Magic City SAP campus from flooding
and potential future sea level issues." There is no disputing that the location has an
advantageous elevation for the City of Miami. The regulating plan and letter establish the
developer's intent to contribute to walkability, a linear civic space through the project,
and redevelopment of an area of the city that is currently suffering from disinvestment;
however, in the context of resilience as it is understood by the City of Miami, the current
review is unclear as to how the proposed SAP might leverage its location, proximity to
the community in Little Haiti, desire to innovate, and the mission to fortify the City against
acute and chronic shocks to "make the city a better place" as suggested by 100 Resilient
Cities, in particular for the immediate community of Little Haiti.
3. Data for income levels for residents at stabilization in the Economic
Impact Analysis
The Economic Impact Analysis analyzes a number of factors of the Magic City
development and assesses the economic impact it will have during construction and
upon stabilization. It provides some marginal contemplation to fiscal benefits of the
project, though no fiscal impact is provided—i.e. impacts due to rezoning that are
11
realized as a cost to the city in increased emergency services by fire or police, increased
costs to infrastructure due to increased demand on water, sewer, roads, transit, etc.
With regard to the analysis's review of the residential development, it assumes that the
proposed SAP will build 2,630 units and, upon stabilization, it will realize 95 percent
occupancy. The economic benefits derived from the project assume that 100 percent of
dwelling units will be occupied by households with incomes of $75,000 per year.
A summary of the conclusions of the study are as follow:
1. The project is estimated to be phased over 10 years. Through this phasing, there
will be an estimated 930 short term construction jobs on average. The study
estimates that this will create more than $500 million in short term construction
wages and expenditure aggregated during this period, including an estimated
$24 million in permit and impact fees.
2. The study estimates $188 million in annual marginal expenditures from residents,
hotel visitors, retail patrons, and office tenants upon stabilized operations.
3. The study estimates that the project will generate more than $27 million in ad
valorem taxes upon stabilized operations, $1.3 million in Hotel Bed Tax Revenue,
and $4.0 million in sales taxes.
4. The study estimates that the development will create 11,680 direct and indirect
full-time jobs and approximately $640 million in direct and indirect wages
annually related to building employment and operating expenditures.
Commentary
According to a study by Miami -Dade County's Department of Regulatory and Economic
Resources, the top 5 employment categories in 2014 were retail salespersons
(employment - 47,760), registered nurses (employment — 29,960), cashiers (employment
— 24,130), customer service representatives (employment — 22,770), and food
preparation and serving workers (employment — 21,710) (Planning Research Section,
2014). Employment data for 2016 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that
the employment sectors with the greatest number of employees in Miami Dade County
also pay wages that are below the City median income ($31,6421). The bar graph below
summarizes this data.

Miami has many claims to fame, one of which is that the area has the greatest income
disparity between those with the highest income and those with the lowest income. The
measure of income disparity is known as the Gini coefficient, and at the moment, the
Gini coefficient measure for Miami shows that the spread between the highest wage
earners and the lowest wage earners was the greatest of any other city of 250,000
people, having grown 16.8 percent from 2014 to 2015. As of 2014, it was reported that
Brazil had a lower Gini coefficient than Miami -Dade County (Planning Research
Section). "Miami -Dade now has more jobs than it had in 2007,' Kevin Greiner, senior
fellow at the Florida International University Metropolitan Center told Bloomberg. The
problem is that the quality, and the wages, and the income of those jobs created have
been significantly lower than they were in the past,- (Teproff, 2016).
Lester, Kaza, and Kirk (2014) observe that approximately one-third of the nation's small
manufacturing establishments (defined as manufacturers that hire fewer than 20 people)
are located in the ten largest cities. Urban areas are still considered to be competitive
locations for goods -producing firms; location in center cities provides these firms access
to large markets, key transportation infrastructure, pools of skilled labor, specialized
suppliers, while also providing jobs for lesser educated laborers (p.295-297). Moreover,
jobs around production, design, and repair offer average annual wages that are 22.9
percent higher than the average private sector job jobs that often do not require an
advanced degree (p.297). Manufacturing employment grew by 729,000 jobs since the
start of the recovery as of 2014 (296). For cities like Miami, FL, these "manufacturers"
are more and more referred to as "makers" and dense urban areas are ideal locations
for the "Maker Movement", if the right policies are in place (Wolf -Powers, 2017).
13
Nevertheless, the ideals of "industrial chic" have become a popular urban aesthetic. The
demand for the conversion of older, industrial sites into commercial, residential, or
mixed -use land is well documented (Leigh, 2012; Chapple, 2015). In their research,
Leigh and Hoelzel (2012) studied the loss of industrial land in seven large cities in the
United States. The average loss of industrial land is approximately 15 percent. While
heavy commercial uses capture many of the activities that industrial land offer, the
"messy" uses allowed in industrial —uses that often allow users an edge in income —are
prohibited. The table below is reproduced from the article, summarizing the researchers'
observations.
Loss of Industrial Land to Rezoning in Select U.S. Cities*

* This table is excerpted from Leigh & Hoelzel (2012, p. 94).
Karen Chapple states that the decision to open up industrial uses to mixtures of uses is
general grounded in an understanding of business dynamics. Instead, planners typically
make land use and rezoning decisions about industrial land as a reaction to requests of
developers (Chapple, The Highest and Best Use? Urban Industrial Land and Job
Creation. 2014, p. 1). Decisions about managing industrial land within an overall land
use inventory requires careful, thoughtful planning in the post-industrial era. Eradication
of industrial uses from urban areas amounts to an urban typology with those uses on a
city's periphery, increasing vehicle miles driven for the urban industrial workforce and the
transportation providers that support those industries and workers (p. 216-217). This is a
missed opportunity for transit (Leigh, 2012, pp. 88, 94). Los Angeles has capitalized on
transit and industrial land uses by creating a Transit -Oriented Development policy for its
light industrial sector (Hull, 2015). Moreover, with the growth of the Maker Movement,
cities are looking to incubate "makers" within their urban cores. In The Maker Movement
and Urban Economic Development, the authors share the following statistics about the
95 maker firms they studied in New York, Chicago, and Portland, OR:
- All but two had 25 or fewer employees (20 percent had more than 10
employees);
- 76 percent of firms export products outside their regions;
- 40 percent sell products nationally; and
- 37 percent sell products internationally. (Wolf -Powers, 2017, p. 370)
Contemporary, urban industrial enterprises often operate as sole proprietorships,
meaning information about them is not picked up by business databases like Reference
14
USA or Dun and Bradstreet or conventional employment statistics (Wolf -Powers, 2017,
p. 366). Chapple points out that, in recent decades, about 45 percent of net new jobs
have come from firms with fewer than 20 employees. Moreover, more than half of net
new jobs come from existing firms that expand, and much of that expansion is enabled
by the flexible space that is best accommodated by industrial spaces. In fact, industrial
zones are more likely to host expansion of firms at a rate of four times the rate of
commercial zones and nine times the rate of residential zones (Chapple, 2015, p. 215).
Concurrency
Concurrency was tested for public facilities. Except for transportation, all tests for
concurrency passed. The Applicant will be required to address transportation at the time
of SAP permit subject to Transportation policy TR-1.3.3. Please see Attachment D for
the Concurrency Management Analyses.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Criteria
Criteria 1:
Objective LU-1.2: Promote, facilitate, and catalyze the redevelopment
and revitalization of blighted, declining or threatened residential,
commercial and industrial areas through a variety of public, private,
and public -private redevelopment initiatives and revitalization
programs including, where appropriate, historic designations.
Analysis 1:
The Applicant proposes to restore the DuPuis Medical Office and
Drugstore.
Finding 1:
Staff finds the restoration of the DuPuis site consistent with the
MCNP.
Criteria 2:
Objective LU-1.3: The City will continue to encourage commercial,
office and industrial development within existing commercial, office
and industrial areas; increase the utilization and enhance the physical
character and appearance of existing buildings; encourage the
development of well -designed, mixed -use neighborhoods that provide
for a variety of uses within a walkable area in accordance with
neighborhood design and development standards adopted as a result
of the amendments to the City's land development regulations and
other initiatives; and concentrate new commercial and industrial
activity in areas where the capacity of existing public facilities can
meet or exceed the minimum standards for Level of Service (LOS)
adopted in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE).
Analysis 2:
The proposed MCID SAP is anticipated to develop primarily
residential, retail, hotel and office uses based on the Economic Impact
Study. The extent to which these uses will concentrate new industrial
activity in the local area where capacity exists to accommodate these
uses is unclear.
Finding 2:
Inasmuch as Objective LU-1.3 can address the need to preservation of
industrial uses which support producer -type employment sectors that
earn above median wages, staff finds the application inconsistent
with this Objective.
Finding 3:
Policy LU-1.1.3: The City's zoning ordinance provides for protection
of all areas of the city from: (1) the encroachment of incompatible land
uses; (2) the adverse impacts of future land uses in adjacent areas
15
that disrupt or degrade public health and safety, or natural or man-
made amenities; (3) transportation policies that divide or fragment
established neighborhoods; and (4) degradation of public open space,
environment, and ecology. Strategies to further protect existing
neighborhoods through the development of appropriate transition
standards and buffering requirements will be incorporated into the
City's land development regulations.
Analysis 3:
The current application represents the change of approximately 15+-
acres of Light Industrially -designated land to Restricted Commercial
on the FLUM.
Finding 3:
Based on the net loss of Light Industrial land from the FLUM staff finds
the application inconsistent as an encroachment of Restricted
Commercial land into the Light Industrial FLU designation.
Criteria 4:
- Objective LU-4.1: By 2023, five percent (5%) of the new housing
stock to be built will be reserved for mixed income developments,
as described in the applicable land development regulations.
- Objective LU-4.2: By 2023, forty percent (40%) of the housing
stock built under affordable and attainable mixed -income
programs, as described in the applicable land development
regulations, will be reserved for housing low-income elderly
households.
- Objective LU-4.3: By 2023, forty percent (40%) of the housing
stock built under affordable and attainable mixed -income
programs, as described in the applicable land development
regulations, will be reserved for workforce housing.
Analysis 4:
The Little Haiti community is a community with need for solutions to
ease cost burden to housing. The current application is requesting a
sizable increase in density, but the Economic Impact Analysis
estimates that 100 percent of residents living in 2,630 dwelling units
will have household incomes of $75,000.
Finding 4:
Staff finds this inconsistent.
Criteria 5:
Goal HO-1: Increase the supply of safe, affordable and sanitary
housing for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate -income
households (in accordance with the current standards and regulations
of HUD and the State of Florida) and the elderly by alleviating
shortages of extremely low, very low-, low-, and moderate -income
housing, rehabilitating older homes, maintaining, and revitalizing
residential neighborhoods in order to meet the needs of all income
groups.
Analysis 5:
The need for affordable housing throughout the City of Miami and,
especially in the Little Haiti community is well -documented.
Finding 5:
Inconsistent.
Criteria 6:
Goal HO-2: Achieve a livable city center with a variety of urban
housing types for persons of all income levels in a walkable, mixed -
use, urban environment.
Analysis 6:
The proposed SAP includes a plan that is walkable and hospitable to
multiple modes of transportation. The Economic Impact Analysis
purports that residents will fall within income ranges of $55,000-
16
$75,000 even though the analysis assumes all residents will earn
$75,000.
Finding 6:
Staff finds the walkability concept of the SAP consistent; however,
the Applicant must more carefully contemplate the affordability
component to the residential program.
Criteria 7:
Policy HO-2.1.2: The City will continue to revise residential zoning
district regulations to provide greater flexibility for the design and
development of a variety of contemporary housing types and mixed -
use developments with the application of new higher density zoning in
accordance with neighborhood specific design and development
standards that might be adopted as a result of amendments to the
City's land development regulations and other neighborhood planning
initiatives.
Analysis 7:
The Applicant has provided some flexibility in the concept of how
residential development can be provided in the MCID. The project is a
truly mixed -use project and residents can realize the ability to live,
work, and play in a single, walkable space.
Finding 7:
Consistent.
Criteria 8:
Policy TR-1.1.1: As an Urban Infill Area (UIA) and/or a Transportation
Concurrency Exemption Area (TCEA) established by Miami -Dade
County, Laws and Regulations, and illustrated in Appendix TR-1, Map
TR-13.1, of the Data and Analysis, the City will encourage the
concentration and intensification of development around centers of
activity with the goal of enhancing the livability of residential
neighborhoods, supporting economic development, and the viability of
commercial areas. Infill development on vacant parcels, adaptive
reuse of underutilized land and structures, redevelopment of
substandard sites, downtown revitalization, and development projects
that promote public transportation will be heavily encouraged. (See
Policy LU-1.1.11.)
Analysis 8:
The proposed MCID SAP site is within a transit corridor on NE 2
Avenue. Access to commuter rail service on the FEC Railway is
anticipated to become reality in the near future. The SAP concept
seeks to redevelop the site that has been idle.
Finding 8:
Criteria 8 seeks intensification of development around centers of
activity. Without clarification from the Applicant, office, retail, hotel, and
residential uses describe a departure from the nature of uses in the
area currently and the uses that maximize the utility of the Light
Industrial FLU designation. Staff finds this consistent inasmuch as the
Applicant seeks to redevelop the subject parcels. At the same time,
this finding is cognizant of the threat this application poses to the
diminishing inventory of Light Industrial Land in Miami.
Criteria 9:
Policy TR-1.1.3: Through application of the provisions of its land
development regulations, the City will encourage residential
development near large employment centers in order to minimize
commutes within the City and investigate opportunities for mixed -use
developments.
Analysis 9:
The proposed MCID SAP presents a development program that is
mixed use with an increase of density.
Finding 9:
Consistent
17
Criteria 10:
Policy TR-1.1.4: The City will implement growth strategies that
encourage infill and redevelopment in order to take advantage of the
multimodal transportation options available, thereby reducing the
dependency on automobiles for new developments.
Analysis 10:
The proposed MCID SAP does present infill redevelopment to take
advantage of transit, in particular the transit corridor on NE 2 Avenue.
Finding 10:
Consistent.
Criteria 11:
Policy TR-1.5.2: The City will require all new developments to
implement transportation control measures in an effort to promote a
general reduction in vehicular traffic by increasing auto occupancy and
transit ridership. These measures can include, but not be limited to,
parking management and ridesharing programs to promote carpooling,
vanpooling, car sharing and use of hybrid or electric vehicles, transit
discount and fare subsidy programs, transit fare tax incentive
programs, car charging stations, flexible work hours, compressed work
weeks, telecommuting programs, the construction of on- site transit
shelters, transit amenities, transit stops, transit drop-off locations or
pull-out bays, bicycle storage facilities, bicycle share programs, and
park -and -ride lots. (See Policy TR-1.2.7.)
Analysis 11:
The Applicant's focus on addressing the proposed MCID SAP's impact
on the road network has been on the proximity of the project to transit
and the design of Civic Type Space that runs through the project. The
Civic Type Space is a feature of Miami 21 that qualifies as a public
benefit in exchange for which an SAP application can derive bonus
development rights, known as FLR. The Applicant has drawn attention
to the Civic Space that runs through the interior of the Magic City
district as a feature that will, in part, enhance bicycle infrastructure.
Staff does not disagree that the Civic Space will be an improved
amenity for bicycling; however, MCNP Policy TR-1.5.2 requires
Transportation Control Measures (TCM) that go further to reduce
vehicular congestion.
Finding 11:
Given the level of detail required in SAP submittals and the
opportunity for public improvements that SAPs afford the City, staff
find the application inconsistent with this criteria.
Criteria 12:
Policy TR-2.2.9: The City will consider the income, age, ability, and
vehicle ownership patterns of populations throughout the city when
developing transportation systems and facilities improvements so that
all residents, especially those most in need, have access to a wide
range of affordable travel options.
Analysis 12:
The proposed MCID SAP is expected to meet the needs of residents
whose incomes are projected to fall within the range of $55,000-
$75,000 (noting the Economic Impact Study runs its analysis
assuming 100% of residents have household incomes of $75,000).
Transportation needs are expected to include personal automobile,
bicycle, and some transit. Data reviewed for this analysis does not
suggest that there is a flaw in concluding the needs for this
demographic. Nevertheless, the Development Agreement includes
commitments of the Applicant to hire up to 20 percent of its
construction workforce from communities with high poverty rates within
18
the City and County for this project which anticipates a 10-year build
out.
Finding 12:
A review of the proposed MCID SAP suggests that there may be more
opportunity for transportation improvements that can be inclusive of
members of the community with various incomes, abilities, etc. that
can be easily addressed with creative TCMs. Staff finds this
inconsistent.
Criteria 13:
Objective PR-1.5: Ensure that future development and redevelopment
pay an equitable, proportional share of the cost of public open space
and recreational facilities required to maintain adopted LOS standards.
Analysis 13:
The proposed MCID SAP creates a Civic Type space within the
development. The intent is for this space to be publicly accessible, but
maintained and operated privately. Access is proposed to open to the
public daily, 8 AM to 9 PM.
The proposed Development Agreement proposes a "park impact fee
credit against a residential component of the SAP pursuant to Chapter
13 of the City Code, the Developer shall at such time be given a credit
against the then -due park impact fees in the ascertainable amount of
the Developer's expenditures on the construction of the Public Open
Space as of the date such park impact fees are assessed by the City;
provided that any expenses incurred by the Developer in the
construction of Public Open Space which are credited against the
City's park impact fee assessed on a residential component of the
SAP shall not be counted towards any future credit against park
impact fees assessed on a subsequent residential component of the
SAP."
Impact fees are intended to mitigate a specific impact. The developer
is using the 3.8 acres of Civic Type Space as a public benefit —a
policy in Miami 21. Through that public benefit, in return, the
Developer can build extra FLR, which is anticipated in the MCID SAP
proposal. At the same time, the Developer proposes to be forgiven any
park impact fees.
Finding 13:
The rationale behind affording the developer a development bonus
(extra FLR) plus park impact fee credits does not support the provision
of public parks and the fiscal soundness necessary to that end. Staff
finds this proposal from the Development Agreement inconsistent
with the MCNP.
Criteria 14:
Objective CI-1.2: Ensure through the City's land development
regulations that development orders authorizing new development or
redevelopment that results in an increase in the density or intensity of
land use shall be contingent upon the availability of public facilities and
services that meet or exceed the minimum LOS standards for sanitary
sewer, solid waste, stormwater, potable water, adequate water supply,
parks and recreation, and transportation facilities, and that land use
map changes maintain the financial feasibility of the MCNP. (See
Coastal Management Objective CM-1.4 or Educational Objective
EDU-1.2.)
19
Analysis 14:
Staff has reviewed the Concurrency Management System for
minimum LOS standards.
Finding 14:
Consistent.
20
Conclusions
The City of Miami will benefit from thoughtful redevelopment that is resilient. In this way,
redevelopment must be equitable, sensitive to ecological realities of this area,
innovative, and context -sensitive. A phased development will contribute to the economy
over time in ways not always understood at the outset; it will equally have fiscal impacts
that are difficult to ascertain until the impacts are realized. Staff has genuine concerns
about the current proposal under the goals, objectives, and policies of the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. A quickly diminishing inventory of FLU designations
that support activities that have potential to provide the most diverse opportunities for
incomes that are above the median income is a grave concern of the Planning
Department.
The current application meets minimum Levels of Service requirements as established in
the MCNP. Staff is optimistic that the Applicant can reflect on contemporary discourse
on innovation districts. Staff further hopes that the Applicant can improve how the
application addresses issues of equity: recognizing the number of households in Little
Haiti with incomes of $10,000 while the Economic Impact Analysis estimates the
household income of all residents within the proposed SAP will be $75,000.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this comprehensive plan amendment with the
understanding that it is a companion item to a rezoning which ties to a development
agreement, subject to further modification based on staff analyses and continued
community input.
