HomeMy WebLinkAboutExhibit ASPECIAL AREA PLAN GOALS River Landing is a multi -block, mixed -use stacked retail centerdevelopment located along the Miami River, roughly bound by NW 14th Avenue to the east, a residential building to the West, NW N River Drivc13th Terrace to the Neit4Northwest, and the Miami River to the South. The project, as proposed, will consist of six (6) levels of destination retail, a 70' wide landscaped, open air pedestrian passage, parking garagegarages, an active Riverwalk, and a publicly available open green space. In addition to the retail component, the parking garage is lined on both the riverside and the cityside by a total of /18 stackcd flats. The project also includes two 12 story towers, sitting atop the parking structure, totaling 396a total of over 900 residential units with a level of residential parking subgrade and another at the uppermost level of. The south block contains over 500 units spread across two 12-story residential towers, as well as stacked flats lining the parking garage. AccordinglyOn the north block, the totalMidRiverVu tower will contain the remaining residential component is planned at 1'l1 units, including ground -level townhouse units on the northwestern frontage. In addition to the aforementioned programmatic elements, the project contemplates a number of significant features designed to enhance the public realm and activate the riverfront. Foremost among those elements is the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk is conceived as a place for the community to experience and enjoy the Miami River, as well as provide a place for residents and visitors alike to appreciate its ongoing contribution to our City's beauty and economy, to observe it's ever -moving activity — "you never see the same river twice" — and it's daily rhythms. The Riverwalk will function as an amphitheater for the river itself. The new pedestrian promenade meanders in an east -west direction, through a 50' or more open space, flanked on the south by the River and native plantings, and along the north by raised cafe terraces and hammock plantings which overlook the river. Design elements will celebrate the river's heritage: its looks, sounds and feel, while utilizing contemporary applications in sustainable design. On the northeastern corner of NW North River Drive and NW 13th Terrace, the River District Green will provide a new publicly accessible open green space to the community. The River District Green was designed to preserve the existing live oaks and other significant canopy trees on the property, and will serve as a "front lawn" for the surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, a new pedestrian bridge spanning NW North River Drive will help enhance connectivity between the Riverwalk, pedestrian promenade, and retail spaces to the south and the River District Green and MidRiverVu to the north. Above all, the Riverwalk, along with the various other public amenities described above, will eventually provide a vital linkage for pedestrians and bicyclists to enjoy the river and provide connectivity to commerce for the surrounding neighborhoods. 1100 NW NORTH RIVER DRIVE M1AM1 10158430.2 100105/300347 The development goals include: • Facilitate the organized growth of urban infill redevelopment to promote civic, economic, and cultural activities along the Miami River • Activate the Riverfront with a high quality landscaped greenway that encourages riverfront dining, pedestrian enjoyment, and neighborhood connectivity • Utilize the project's shifted geometry to enhance the depth and texture of the architectural elements • Develop a framework that successfully accommodates automobiles while respecting the pedestrian realm • Promote urban development by balancing the needs of local residents and pedestrians and Miami's transit community which visit the Health District on a daily basis • Preserve the existing tree canopy and provide publicly accessible open green space • Create a transition in development intensity between River Landing and the surrounding communities 1100 NW NORTH RIVER DRIVE M1AM1 10158430.2 100105/300347 ARTICLE 1.

TABLE 5 BUILDING FUNCTION: PARKING AND LOADING SHARED PARKING STANDARDS SHARNG FACTOR The shared Parking Standards Table provides the method for calculating shared parking for buildings with more than one Use type. It refers to the parking requirements that appear in Table 4. The parking required for any two Functions on a Lot is calculated by dividing the number of spaces required by the lesser of the two uses by the appropriate factor from this Table and adding the result to the greater use parking requirement For instance: Fora building with a Residential Use requiring 100 spaces and a Commercial Use requir- ing 20 spaces. the 20 spaces divided by the sharing factor of 1.2 would reduce the total requirement to 100 plus 16 spaces.

The project, along with its extensive Riverwalk, is envisioned as a hub for commercial activity and community gathering space along the river which does not otherwise exist in the City of Miami. Its proximity to Highway 836 provides great visibility for prospective retail tenants, whose signage would be seen by the large motorist population that traverses the highway daily; however, since the project is located at the apex of the highway, such signage must be placed on the building above 90' in order for it to be visible. The methodology used to calculate the total aggregate signage area is consistent with Miami 21 requirements under Article 6.5. However, signage area will not be allocated according to individual retail tenant frontages but rather will be evenly distributed throughout the project as specified in Section E of the Design Guidelines. Ultimately, assignment of the major commercial tenant wall signs, referenced under Article 6.5.2 (b)(3), will be determined by retail leasing agreement and not by any tenant square footage requirements per Code. The intent of these sign regulations is to (1) move pedestrians and vehicular traffic in, out, and around the project safely and efficiently; (2) promote intuitive wayfinding within the project for residents and visitors alike; and (3) identify the project to motorists along adjacent Thoroughfares. 6.5.2 Signage Location, Types, and Aggregation a. Signs within the River Landing SAP shall be permitted as a Special Sign Package as set forth in the River Landing Regulating Plan and Design Guidelines. Signs within Pedestrian Passages, which do not contain advertising material visible from the public right-of-way, shall not be regulated by the City. b. Signage placed along the project's Frontages shall be located within one of seven (7) signage zone types identified in the Regulating Plan and Design Guidelines. Signage types shall be classified as follows: RIVER LANDING 1400 NW NORTH RIVER DRIVE MIAMI, FL ARTICLES. SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS 1. Directional Signage: Directional signs may be hanging, wall -mounted or freestanding signs. Hanging and wall -mounted directional signs range up to three (3) feet in height and fifty (50) feet in length for a maximum of one -hundred fifty (150) square feet. Freestanding directional signs may be double -sided with a maximum of twenty (20) square feet of signage area on each face for a total maximum signage area of forty (40) square feet per sign. Refer to Signage Details, Signage "Types G, H, L, N & P" in the Design Guidelines. 2. Monument Signage: Monument signage shall be limited to one sign for each one hundred (100) feet of street Frontage with no more than two sign surfaces, neither of which shall exceed forty (40) square feet in Sign Area. All panels shall be changeable over time and may be highlighted with external lighting or indirect lighting behind the images in compliance with Article 6.5.3(c). Permitted Sign Area may be cumulative, but no Sign surface shall exceed one hundred (100) square feet. The Maximum Height shall not exceed fourteen (14) feet, including embellishments, as measured from the sidewalk on which the sign is placed. Refer to Signage Details, Signage "Types J & M" in the Design Guidelines. 3.
