REGULATING PLAN
2.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT
2.1.1 Title and Purpose
This Appendix to Miami 21 shall be known as the "Braman Miami Campus
Special Area Plan" or the "Braman Miami Campus SAP." This Appendix is part
of the Miami 21 Zoning Code. Its purpose is to serve as the "Regulating Plan" for
the Braman Miami Campus SAP. It sets out regulations for future development
within the Braman Miami Campus SAP Area. The Regulating Plan
acknowledges the existing T6-8-O, T6-12-0, T6-36A-O, and T6-36B-O zoning in
place at the time the Braman Miami Campus SAP is established, and provides
regulations supplemental to that existing zoning as it relates to ARCs within the
SAP Area.
This Regulating Plan is declared to be in accord with the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan, as required by the Local Government Comprehensive
Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Section 163.3161 et seq.,
Florida Statutes (the "Comprehensive Plan").
2.1.2 Intent
The Braman Miami Campus SAP is designed to reimagine the existing, legally
established automotive Use through the lens of the pedestrian by master
planning the area into a cohesive and forward -thinking campus. At the heart of
this SAP is the recognition that automobiles are a critical part of the City's
transportation systems and that access to essential automobile services in
proximity to population density presents sound urban planning. The Braman
Miami Campus uses automobile iconography to pay homage to the SAP Area's
past, present, and future and thereby sets the example for how automotive -
focused concepts may be implemented at the pedestrian Scale in an urban
context. Public and private Frontages will be enhanced with existing and new
trees, street furniture, lighting, and functional design elements. Pedestrian and
bicyclist connectivity will be prioritized and expanded, which is critical for an area
in such proximity to the burgeoning Wynwood, Omni and Edgewater
neighborhoods. The abutting road network, trolley, and bus routes provide
additional linkages for employees, residents and guests alike. The Frontages
plan does not propose changes to the existing grid but confirms Principal and
Secondary Frontages for the avoidance of doubt.
Braman Motors has been an economic engine in the City of Miami since 1975. In
the last 50 years, Braman Motors has actively contributed to the evolution of
Miami. The automotive company has employed thousands and invested millions
into the City and surrounding community. Today, Braman Motors directly
employs over 600 people and supports countless vendors and contractors as it
serves both the neighborhood residents' and central business district commuters'

automotive needs. The Braman Miami Automotive Training Center employs
classes of 20 young adults every 18 months. Tuition, equipment, tools, and
laptops are offered free of charge and without any obligation to work at Braman
Motors, although many receive and accept offers of employment. Braman
Motors' commitment to the City of Miami has never been stronger than it is today.
Braman Motors intends to make new and greater investments in the City and its
immediate community. The Braman Miami Campus SAP will help maintain
Braman Motors as an economic engine and significant employer within the City
of Miami for generations to come by:
1. Making modest adjustments to Miami 21's standard regulations that will
facilitate the continued innovation of state-of-the-art automotive Uses
within the Braman Miami Campus, in the urban core of the City, while
preserving Miami 21's broader design goals.
2. Allowing for Public Benefit commitments made as part of the SAP's
companion Chapter 163 Development Agreement.
3. Allowing for the future Adaptive Use and redevelopment of existing
Buildings to minimize the environmental impact of future demands for new
construction.
2.2 APPLICABILITY
2.2.1 Generally
This Appendix shall modify Miami 21 regulations to the extent indicated herein for
all properties within the SAP Area.
2.2.2 Conflicts
Where the requirements of this Appendix conflict with the broader requirements
of Miami 21, this Appendix shall govern. Where this Appendix is silent as to any
particular regulations, Miami 21's general provisions shall be construed to the
maximum extent possible to effectuate this Appendix's intent, purpose, and
goals.

ARTICLE 8. THOROUGHFARES
8.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This Article describes the guidelines for development of Thoroughfares
throughout the City. It supplements the design standards adopted in the City of
Miami Manual of Engineering Standards for Design and Construction, maintained
in its most current form at the City of Miami Department of Public Works. Where
these guidelines conflict with the Manual, the standards of the Manual shall apply
except that the Manual's requirements shall be interpreted in light of this
Regulating Plan's guidance. Wherever the Manual's requirements allow flexibility
or are ambiguous, the Manual shall be interpreted to allows such mitigation.
Thoroughfares must evolve with the needs of the City. As Miami continues to
grow, a Thoroughfare may change in character reflecting new density, or
conversely, a return to an historic dimension. For instance, a continuous lawn
planter may be replaced with individual tree wells for additional sidewalk space,
or a wide neighborhood street may be narrowed to control traffic intrusion.
As Miami continues to grow, and as local and global environmental conditions
changes, the heat island effect and resilience must be primary considerations in
design. Accordingly, the provisions of this Article shall be interpreted to allow
measures to reduce the heat island effect and keep public streets cooler. Such
measures may include increases in landscaping, the use of shade trees, the use
of shade devices or structures, and the use of construction materials designed to
best manage albedo for the comfort and benefit of pedestrians.
8.2 PUBLIC FRONTAGES
8.2.1 Public Frontages shall follow Miami 21 Article 8, and the Design Guidelines.
8.2.2 Non -habitable pedestrian bridges between mixed -use Buildings over public rights
of ways shall be permitted as shown in the Design Guidelines, subject to Public Works
review and approval pursuant to Section 55-14 of the City Code. Pedestrian bridges
shall be a maximum thirty feet (30') in width and a maximum of two (2) stories in height.

ARTICLE 10. SIGN REGULATIONS
10.2.2 SAP SIGN DESIGN STANDARDS
The following general standards shall apply with regard to Signs located within the
Braman Miami SAP, in addition to provisions appearing elsewhere in this Code. The
regulations here recognize that franchise motor vehicle dealerships are typically
required by franchise deals to provide a minimum level of advertisement for each auto
brand (e.q., BMW, Mini, Chrysler, etc.). These rules grant some flexibility to allow
advertising multiple brands while offering high quality design.
a. Limits on Number of Signs. Where an ARC features more than one car
franchise or brand in a Building, limits on the number of Signs per Building shall
be applied on a per -brand basis. Nonetheless there shall be signage for no more
than seven (7) brands per ARC. Projecting and wall signs shall be approved by
SAP Permit.
b. Aggregate Area. The Aggregate Area Ratio within the SAP Area shall be 1.5
sq.ft. per linear Frontage. The Aggregate Area shall be calculated by using the
following formula: (total linear Building Frontage) x (Aggregate Area ratio); 1,000
sq.ft. max per Frontage. The Aggregate Area may be exceeded through the SAP
Signaqe Package, below.
c. Auto Franchise/Brand Logo Treatment. Architectural Features that are a part
of a Building and Facade expression, and that incorporates artistic interpretation
of car franchise or car brand's name, image or logo mark shall not be counted
toward the maximum number of Signs or the Aggregate Sign Area for the
purposes of Article 10, Table 15. Such Architectural Features, other than those
associated with Phases 1A, 1B, and 4 as shown on page A-03 of the Design
Guidelines, shall be approved by SAP Permit subject to compliance with
compliance with the design review criteria set forth in Miami 21, Article 4, Table
12.
d. Signaqe above fifty (50) feet within the SAP Area shall be included in a SAP
Signaqe Package or shall require an SAP Permit, and shall not be subject to the
limitations of Miami 21, Section 10.3.6. The Signs shall be subject to the Design
Review Criteria included in Article 4 Table 12.
e. Building Address Signs. Building addresses will not be calculated as part of
aggregate wall Sign Area.
f. Inlaid Entry Vestibule Floor Signs. Not more than one (1) such Sign not
exceeding ten (10) square feet in area, may be recessed into the floor, located
solely at an entry vestibule, and integrated flush into the surrounding flooring
system. Such Signs must be fabricated out of durable, non -slip materials. Inlaid

laws, including applicable Miami -Dade County sign regulations, regarding
signage must be complied with.
10.3.7 Special Area Plan Signaqe Package
The Braman Miami SAP Signaqe Package shall serve to enhance the district's identity,
provide safe and clear directional devices for visitors into and through the district,
deliver information about the Braman Miami SAP. The SAP Signaqe Package shall
allow greater flexibility in Sign regulations when the flexibility results in a higher or
specialized quality design. Approval of such a package may also authorize the
placement of Directional Signs within the Public Right -of -Way or voluntary Frontage
Setback subject to the following conditions: (i) Directional Signs shall not be located
within the Public Right -of -Way so as to disrupt pedestrian activity; (ii) Directional Signs
shall respect the vision clearance standards set forth in Miami 21, Section 3.8.4; and (iii)
the placement of a Directional Sign within the Public Right -of -Way shall require the
approval of Public Works Department.
Specific Sign parameters may be exceeded for various Sign types where compliance
with Article 4. Table 12 of Miami 21 related to Signs is demonstrated and with the
exception that the total aggregate areas for Building Identification and Directional Signs
are not exceeded. An SAP Signaqe Package submittal may be submitted for either the
entirety of the SAP Area or for the individual blocks comprising the SAP Area. Such
submittal, at a minimum, shall include the following: (i) a plan view of each Sign type
indicating the typical condition for each Sign type and (ii) the specifications of each Sign
type. Where an SAP Signaqe Package is approved for an individual block, all
subsequent submittals for future blocks shall incorporate an aesthetic consistent with
the aesthetic of the previously approved Signaqe package. Upon approval of an SAP
Signaqe Package, all Signs which conform to the standards set forth therein shall not
require an individual SAP Permit, and shall be permitted if in compliance with the
Florida Building Code.
If a Signaqe Package is not adopted, or if an individual Sign does not conform to the
standards set forth in adopted Signaqe Package, such signage may only be approved
by SAP Permit.
