Miami Ave. Enclosures: 16406 Exhibit A 16406 Proposal 16406 Property Search 16406 Notice to the Public BACKGROUND: The Omni Community Redevelopment Agency (Omni CRA) executes community redevelopment projects following the 2019 CRA Redevelopment Plan ("Plan"). The Agency will contribute to redeveloping 2003 N Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33127, a severely dilapidated one - hundred -year -old building, into a mixed -use, low-income affordable housing project. The project will provide 11 modern, energy -efficient units and renovate the vacant retail bays to boost street -level activity, increase tax revenue, and support Wynwood's growth. The building requires extensive repairs to the structure of the building, including new plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. It has a rich history, including ties to Whitey Bulger and Dolly's Cafe, and currently houses the iconic restaurant Kush, which has temporarily closed due to structural concerns. This redevelopment project is in accordance with the Omni CRA's 2019 Plan, where page 31 of the 2019 Redevelopment Plan states "housing affordability is one of the key programs for the CRA to undertake". The 2019 Redevelopment Plan specifically highlights the importance of addressing housing affordability. Florida Statute 163.350 enables the CRA to establish effective programs aimed at affordable housing and the revitalization of deteriorated properties. Collaboration with the Omni CRA will ensure high -quality standards and address community needs effectively. Packet Pg. 24 1.2 RECOMMENDATION: Based on the aforementioned background, the need for renovation, and community enhancement, it is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency adopt the attached resolution. This resolution, approved by a four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote, ratifies, confirms, and approves the Executive Director's finding that it is most beneficial for the Omni CRA to provide funding to Kush Property LLC for renovation and community enhancement. FUNDING: $3,100,000.00 has been allocated from the Omni Tax Increment Fund, Account No. 10040.920501.883000.0000.00000 - Other Grants and Aids.

Miami Ave. Project BACKGROUND A Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency ("Omni CRA") by four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote, after an advertised public hearing, ratifying, approving, and confirming the Executive Director's recommendation and finding that competitive negotiation methods and procedures are not practicable or advantageous pursuant to sections 18-85 and 18-86 of the code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended, as adopted by the Omni CRA; waiving the requirements for competitive sealed bidding as not being practicable or advantageous to the Omni CRA; authorizing the allocation of funding in an aggregate amount not to exceed Three Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($3,100,000.00) ("Funds"), to support the 2003 N. Miami Ave. ("Project"). The "Funds" will underwrite partially the total rehabilitation cost of the "Project". Additionally, these "Funds" will not be disbursed until verification of the total project funding structure is complete. The "Project", a mixed -use apartment building, consists of 11 micro -unit studios and commercial space in South of Wynwood, Miami, built in 1926, in need of complete rehabilitation. The building has suffered from deferred maintenance over the years, resulting in low or no occupancy. The 2019 Redevelopment Plan emphasizes the importance of affordable housing, the creation of affordable housing units and includes provisions for collaborating with private entities to revitalize blighted properties. Section 4-33 of the Plan outlines that the Omni CRA can "Grant funds to assist in rehabilitation of an existing housing project." This project aligns with the Plan, which focuses on the rehabilitation of the much needed housing affordability in the area.

This project presents a significant opportunity to address critical housing shortages and uplift our community while redeveloping. Kush has been a local institution for over a decade, serving award -winning food and cool refreshments to neighborhood residents as well as visitors making the long trek from Downtown to Wynwood on foot. The unfortunate temporary closure of the kitchen to make structural repairs has left a void in the neighborhood that we aim to fill when we reopen. Although originally built and used as a residential building, the upstairs apartments fell into disrepair over time, and eventually lost their certificate of use. Currently they are vacant. During the past decade that Wynwood has seen an explosion of new restaurants, affordable housing nearby has become harder and harder to find, with restaurant staff living in precarious situations or making long commutes. The redevelopment proposed is designed with the specific needs of restaurant workers in mind. The plan includes the creation of 11 modern, energy -efficient units that offer safe and comfortable living spaces for residents of lower income levels. We also intend to fully renovate the vacant downstairs retail bays, increasing the activity and life on the street, increasing tax revenue, and providing an anchor for the southeastern corner of Wynwood and a bridge to Downtown and the Omni and Overtown neighborhoods. We are eager to collaborate with the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency to bring this vision to life. We are committed to maintaining transparent communication and ensuring the highest standards of quality throughout the project. Thank you for considering our proposal. We look forward to the possibility of working together to revitalize this historic building in the CRA.

Miami Ave.) Packet Pg. 32 1.2.b Project Introduction This proposal outlines the full redevelopment of 2003 N Miami Avenue, a severely dilapidated structure, into a mixed -use, low-income affordable housing project designed for restaurant workers. The project aims to address critical housing shortages and contribute to community upliftment through a complete gut rehabilitation. The building's current state is extremely deteriorated, necessitating extensive structural repairs. The project will involve a comprehensive overhaul, including new plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems throughout. The building is a one hundred -year old historical icon on a busy corner of an ever changing set of neighborhoods. The building, originally owned by Murray Dubbin, a former Florida House of Representatives member who played an instrumental role in creating Florida International University, has a rich and colorful past. It was the residence of infamous gangster Whitey Bulger in its upstairs apartments, while he was on the lam, and for 30 years, it was home to the notorious brothel known as Dolly's Cafe. Today, it is the location of the iconic Miami restaurant, Kush, adding another layer to its storied history.

III/ 11� MAH SS , 1� nn 4 1 Kush, a local culinary institution for over a decade, has temporarily closed its kitchen due to the building's structural issues. This closure has created a neighborhood void that will be filled upon reopening. The upstairs apartments, originally residential, have been vacant for years and lost their certificate of use due to severe disrepair. Wynwood's restaurant boom over the past decade has led to a scarcity of nearby affordable housing, forcing restaurant staff into precarious living situations or long commutes. The proposed redevelopment specifically targets the needs of restaurant workers, featuring 11 modern, energy -efficient units designed for lower -income residents. The plan also includes renovating the vacant downstairs retail bays, which will enhance street -level activity, increase tax revenue, and serve as an important revenue generator in this southern portion of Wynwood. We seek collaboration with the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency to realize this vision, committing to transparent communication and high -quality standards throughout the project. This initiative presents an opportunity to revitalize a historic, though currently unsafe, building within the CRA while addressing pressing community needs.

Miami Ave.) Packet Pg. 35 1.2.b Neighborhood Need Wynwood is witnessing a construction and entertainment boom, exhibiting extreme growth and development. Yet, with the good it brings to the city, this expansion masks a deeper, more pervasive issue: the city is grappling with a severe housing affordability crisis. High housing costs coupled with relatively low wages have placed Miami among the cities with the most severe housing affordability issues in the nation. This crisis is particularly acute in neighborhoods like Overtown and Wynwood, where the impacts of gentrification and the shortage of affordable housing are felt most strongly. Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) refers to privately owned residential properties that are lower in cost because they are older and usually subject to deferred maintenance. Many NOAH properties are desirable for tenants because of the location within neighborhoods that are convenient to places of work, worship, transportation hubs, and because the rent is affordable. Miami's expensive and highly competitive real estate market coupled with low wages has led to a housing affordability crisis that prevents workers from living near to their place of employment, forcing them to spend valuable hours commuting. In the amended Redevelopment Plan on pages 4-32 and 5-56, the CRA emphasizes the importance of housing affordability as a pivotal initiative: "To Assist For -Profit Housing Providers in the CRA could: 2) Pay some portion of development costs such as impact or permit fees 3) Provide a direct cash subsidy in the form of a rebate equal to a percentage of the increases in taxes paid over a defined period of time after completion if affordable units are provided" 6) Housing Affordability - The CRA should fund established and creative new ways to increase the stock of workforce and lower income affordable housing within the district. GOALS: a) Create project -specific developer incentives to ensure that new or significantly redeveloped residential projects in the CRA contain a sufficient number of units that are affordable to the target populations." This Project seeks financial support from the CRA to underwrite the development of both commercial retail units and residential units, specifically for low-income and workforce households, and asks the CRA to provide the Applicant with a project -specific incentive. This initiative seeks financial backing from the CRA to support the repair of the unused commercial spaces and restaurant on the first floor of the Miami Avenue frontage creating a more vibrant entryway between the neighborhoods in three directions, Omni, Wynwood, and Attachment: 16406 Proposal (16406 : 4/5ths Bid Waiver Grant - Rehabilitation and Affordable project located at 2003 N. Miami Ave.) Packet Pg. 36 1.2.b Overtown. The CRA funding will also allow the creation of new small housing units targeted at low-income individuals at rents affordable to those in the hospitality industry which our city thrives on. The request entails granting the applicant special incentives tailored to the project, underscoring the CRA's commitment to making affordable housing more accessible and supporting the development of inclusive, thriving communities. Efforts to address the housing crisis by the Omni CRA must include a focus on neighborhoods like Wynwood as well as Overtown. Both neighborhoods face an acute lack of housing affordability. The CRA initiatives to develop affordable housing are crucial for the economic vitality and sustainability of such communities. By supporting projects that include affordable units and offering financial incentives for developers, there is potential to mitigate the impacts of gentrification and ensure that workers of different incomes have the opportunity to live near where they work and have access to affordable, quality housing. This approach not only addresses immediate needs but also contributes to the broader goal of fostering a more equitable and inclusive Miami. Proposed Schedule of Values For detailed budget see attached Training Certifications In an effort to give back to the City, the owner is offering to participate in a training program for residents who currently work or want to start a career in the restaurant industry. This is a week-long restaurant internship which includes one week of kitchen training in every position from dishwasher, expeditor, saute, pantry, assembler, prep cook and grill cook. They will also obtain a Safe -Serve Certificate to prove they have been trained on how to properly work in a sanitized environment and have permission to work in a kitchen. At the end of their training they will receive a certificate from save serve and from Kush to indicate they have satisfied all training needs. We suggest starting this program with the students at Pace Center for Girls in Allapattah in collaboration with their director Sherry Giordano. From there we will grow the program to include Miami -Dade and FIU students, as well as other youth -focused nonprofits and educational institutions. Financing Plan & CRA Request This project is self -funded by Matthew Kuscher himself, who has continually reinvested the proceeds of each restaurant into opening new businesses in the City and employing more residents at great jobs, giving the community solid local restaurant options in a time where many local businesses are struggling. Attachment: 16406 Proposal (16406 : 4/5ths Bid Waiver Grant - Rehabilitation and Affordable project located at 2003 N. Miami Ave.) Packet Pg. 37 1.2.b These sources still leave a gap in the high costs of construction and financing in Miami today. To offset the high cost of construction and lending, we ask the Omni CRA to support maintaining and revitalizing housing affordable to Overtown residents, preventing displacement of residents as well as the loss of small independent residential ownership in the community and contribute a forgivable loan of $3,100,000 for a portion of the interior and exterior development of both existing kitchen and commercial units as well as the residential units, as listed above. Affordability Plan Many food & beverage operations have experienced difficulty in finding talent that lives close to the site. Restaurant workers have been considered "Front Line" workers, but still face escalating housing costs. Some choose long and arduous commutes at early hours from less expensive neighborhoods; others are forced to live with multiple roommates per room, or in unsafe housing conditions. Wynwood and Edgewater have seen an explosion in employment in this sector, but rent prices are out of reach for many kitchen workers. The Kush building has no residential units currently rented, and the recorded use is not residential, but in the past it has had at least 10 residential units. This proposal anticipates the redevelopment of 11 units approximating the original layout, but now classified as "microunits". The City code allows this in the Wynwood NRD, due to the variety of neighborhood amenities, proximity to transit, and the need for affordable units serving younger low-income people in this arts district. 9 of the units will be restricted to "affordable" rents for residents earning 80% of Area Median Income for a term of 30 years. 2 units will be restricted to "workforce" level rents for residents making 100% or below of the Area Median Income.

Years later, Bulger became the boss of the Winter Hill Gang in Boston until he went into hiding in December of 1994. He remained at large for sixteen years until he was found and arrested in Santa Monica, California on June 22, 2011. More than a decade prior to Bulger's arrest in Miami Beach, he lived in a rooming house on North Miami Avenue in Miami. Starting at a very young age, James was constantly in trouble. In 1944, at the age of fifteen, Bulger left Boston for Miami. Given his troubles in Boston, he probably left for a change of scenery and a fresh start. Johnnie & Mack Auto Body He lived in Miami for two years and worked painting cars at Johnnie & Mack Auto Body Shop. The shop was well known in Miami with the slogan "Johnnie & Mack down by the track". It was located at 74 NE 20th Street, which was just east of the FEC Railroad tracks on 20th Street, which is where it got its catch phrase.

The Dubbins Apartment building was operating as a rooming house during the mid-1940s. It was located a short distance from where Bulger worked. The 1924 building still rents apartments today, and it also is the location of the popular Kush restaurant located on the ground level. Bulger returned to Boston in 1946 and was arrested and sentenced to juvenile reformatory in 1947. He was seventeen at the time of his arrest for unarmed robbery. James was released from the reformatory in 1948 and joined, served and was discharged from the Air Force prior to returning to Miami in 1955.

Article in Miami Herald on December 6, 1955 Although the Miami Herald article on Bulger's 1955 arrest indicated he was detained for robbing a jewelry store, he clarified the story. According to correspondence with author Avi Bash, Bulger stated that he was followed for suspicion of possessing stolen jewels. A bank employee, who watched Bulger open a safe deposit box, reported that he had a bag full of diamonds fall onto the floor. She told the police that he was suspicious.

They ended up detaining him and his girlfriend on vagrancy charges. He was bailed out of jail and appeared before a judge a few days later. The judge dismissed the charges on the condition that the couple leave town immediately. Although Bulger did return to South Florida on a number of occasions later, he did comply with the judge's orders and left town after gathering his belongings.

We believe a partnership with Omni CRA would be invaluable and assist in the following ways: ► Prizm 2024 will exhibit over 80 globally renowned artists from Africa and the African diaspora. ► These artists live/work in 10 different cities and 15 different countries including South Africa, Barbados, Angola, Zimbabwe, Jamaica, Ethiopia and of course, Miami. ► With in -kind support from the Omni CRA, Prizm is poised to host a virtual experience reflective of the diversity of Miami' cultural landscape. This would dramatically enhance the quality and diversity of the African diaspora artistic offerings of Prizm. ► This would simultaneously provide Omni CRA with incredible exposure as a premier driver of diversity in Miami. Prizm is excited to embark on this journey with you and thanks you for reviewing and considering our proposal to continue our enduring collaborative partnership and work collaboratively as a partner for Prizm's nth edition.
