JUNCLE ISLAND SAP
Jungle Island is currently improved with landscaping, theme park attractions, restaurants, retail
On April 11, 1998, pursuant to City Commission resolutions R 98 0375 and R 98 0376, the City
Commission approved a Major Use Special Permit (MUSP) for development of the original Jungle
Island (formerly known as Parrot Jungle) attraction, including 172,'111 square feet of visitor
attraction space with accessory commercial spaces and 500 required parking spaces. The Jungle
Island MUSP was later modified on November 16, 2000, pursuant to City Commission resolution
R 00 1032, to reconfigure the location of the ballroom facilities and other site improvements.
On August 28, 2018, pursuant to City Commission resolution R 18 0232, the City held a
referendum and voters approved a City Charter amendment to waive competitive bidding and
approve a fifth modification to the lease for Jungle Island that allows for development of a new
hotel and attractions, with a maximum one hundred thirty (130) foot height.
The purpose of the Jungle Island SAP is to effectuate approval of this additional permitted
development on the subject property, including attractions and a themed based hotel with ancillary
retail and/or restaurant space and meeting space. The hotel will be built in the general vicinity of
the existing parking garage.

2.1.2. ECORESILIENCY SAP
A. Intent
The ECORESILIENCY SAP (formerly known as the Jungle Island SAP) aims to transform the
private entertainment attraction area into a world -class public park with waterfront access and
create a community environment. This reimagined public park will serve as a natural sanctuary
designed with substantial open green space, ecological restoration and educational enrichment
opportunities for the community focused on nature, wildlife and marine ecosystems. A
thoughtfully integrated residential development will be located adjacent to the public park,
fostering a harmonious community where residents and visitors can connect with all aspects of the
island's natural habitat within a 21st century nature park experience.
The ECORESILIENCY SAP Area is comprised of approximately 18.61 +/- acres of land in total,
currently owned by the City of Miami. Approximately 13.3 +/- acres of the SAP Area will be
returned to the City with a word -class, waterfront public park (the "City SAP Area"). The
remaining 5.4 +/- acres is conveyed for private ownership to ECORESILIENCY Miami LLC for
the development of a mixed use/residential community thereon (the "Residential SAP Area").
The intent of the ECORESILIENCY Special Area Plan (the "ECORESILIENCY SAP") is to
effectuate the will of the electorate and return the 13.3 +/- acres of City SAP Area to City residents
for public use, restored with biodiverse natural habitats, landscaped open areas and waterfront
access along the shores of Watson Island.
B. Background
On August 28, 2018, pursuant to City Commission resolution R-18-0232, the City voters approved,
via referendum, a City Charter amendment to waive competitive bidding and approve certain
modifications to the Jungle Island lease for development of a new hotel and attractions. On
February 25, 2021, pursuant to City Ordinance No. 13973, the Miami City Commission approved
the Jungle Island Special Area Plan, which included approval of a companion rezoning of the
southeasterly 234,310 +/- square feet of the SAP Area to T6-12-0 (Urban Core — Open Transect
Zone) and a new hotel with up to 300 rooms (on the Residential SAP Area).
On November 5, 2024 the electorate of the City of Miami approved the referendum for the: i) the
cancellation of the existing Jungle Island lease, ii) the negotiation of a land sale and development
agreement for the residential development of the Residential SAP Area; and iii) the development
of a new public waterfront park on the City SAP Area. On July 24, 2025, the City of Miami
Commission approved that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 9, 2025 for the
sale of the Residential SAP Area to ECORESILIENCY Miami LLC, a Delaware limited liability
9
MIAMI 21 APPENDIX R: ECORESILIENCY SAP
company, in exchange for the cancellation of the existing Jungle Island Lease (defined herein), the
development of a waterfront public park on the City SAP Area, and other public benefits.
2.2. APPLICABILITY
The ECORESILIENCY SAP Regulating Plan establishes standards, requirements and restrictions
applicable to guide appropriate use and development within the ECORESILIENCY SAP Area.
The ECORESILIENCY SAP Concept Book is intended to provide contextual and illustrative
concepts as well as examples of permitted, encouraged, and compatible development types and
opportunities for the ECORESILIENCY SAP Area, subject to the standards, requirements, and
restrictions applicable through the ECORESILIENCY SAP Regulating Plan.
2.2.2 CONFLICTS

13114 ("Miami 21"), as amended, through the adoption date of this ECORESILIENCY SAP, as
modifying the Jungle Island SAP, adopted pursuant to Ordinance No. 13973, and shall serve to
supersede and supplant Miami 21 and the Jungle Island SAP as stated herein. Ordinance No 13973
made various amendments to the underlying regulations of Miami 21 which are either amended or
maintained herein as further described in this Regulating Plan.
Where standards set forth in the ECORESILIENCY SAP Regulating Plan, Concept Book and/or
Development Agreement conflict with standards set forth in Miami 21 or in the Jungle Island SAP,
the standards in this SAP Regulating Plan, Concept Book and/or Development Agreement shall
govern. Where the standards in the ECORESILIENCY SAP Regulating Plan, Concept Book

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 1.1l:
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 requiring 20 space's. the 20 spaces
divided by the sharing factor of 1.2 would reduce the total
requirement to 100 plus 17 spaces_ For uses not irfrthcated in this

ARTICLE 8. THOROUGHFARES
8.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This Article of this Regulating Plan describes the guidelines for development of Thoroughfares
throughout the SAP Area and abutting rights of way and supersedes the underlying Miami 21
Article 8 in its entirety. 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 Depaitrnent of Public Works or in Florida Department of Transportation Manual of
Uniform Minimum Standards, commonly known as the Florida Greenbook (collectively
"Manuals"). Where these guidelines conflict with the Manuals, the standards of the Manuals shall
apply as applicable.
The urban landscape of Watson Island is characterized by a set of interdependent elements that
create a sense of place and an inviting destination which are unique to Watson Island, located
between the cities of Miami and Miami Beach and bisected by the MacArthur Causeway, a State
of Florida highway. These include Thoroughfare types, Building types, Frontage types, and the
form and disposition of landscape and lighting within Watson Island. Thoroughfares provide the
City with both the majority of public Open Space as well as moving lanes for vehicles, bicycles
and transit. A Thoroughfare is associated with a particular type of movement and is endowed with
two attributes: movement type and character. The movement type of the Thoroughfare refers to
the number of vehicles that can move safely through a segment within a given time period. This is
physically manifested by the number of lanes and their width, by the centerline radius, the curb
radius, and the super -elevation of the pavement. The character of the Thoroughfare refers to its
suitability as a setting for pedestrian activities and is physically established by the associated
Frontage types as determined by location within the Transect.
Thoroughfares can be assigned appropriately to Transect Zones, with calibrated Right -of -Way
widths, movement types, design speed, number of travel lanes, pavement width, curb radius and
Verge type.
