Consideration of a recommendation concerning issuance of a
Development Order for a Development of Regional Impact as
defined by Florida Statutes Amended 380.06 located on above
site.
This development has been defined as a Development of
Regional Impact (DRI) and accordingly must follow procedures
outlined in the Florida Environmental Land and Water
Management Act of 1972 (F. S. 380.06). These State procedures
require that local government (City Commission) prior to
issuing a development order (variance, building permit, etc.)
approving, denying or approving subject to conditions a DRI:
"shall consider whether, and the extent on which:
a) The development unreasonably interferes with the
achievement of the objectives of an adopted state
land developrent plan applicable to the area;
h) The development is consistent with the local land
development regulations; and
c) The development is consistent with the report and
recommendations of the regional planning agency
submitted pursuant to subsection (8) of this section."
The development order issued by the City Commission is not
effective until thirty days after the public hearing to allow
affected parties, if unsatisfied, the right of appeal to the
Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission (the Governor
and Cabinet).
Prior to the DRI hearing before the City Commission, City of
Miami procedures (Ordinance 8290, being an amendment to
Section 62-1(1 of the City of Miami Code, dated July 25, 1974)
require the Planning Advisory Board to hold hearings on DRI's
and rnuke their recommendation to the City Commission.
Corps of Engineers issues permit (76J-0437) to construct a
marina containing approximately 80 slips for the use of Plaza
Venetia apartment owners.
Spring South Florida Regional Planning Council receives application
1977 for Corps of I ngrneers permit (77,1-0283) to construct 83 slips,
the two northernmost piers of the five currently proposed.
July 7, 1 loridir Division cat `itule Planning concludes that the project is
197/ n I)In; that the tour piers in fact, constitute one marina
containing over 100 slips (the 1)1 i threshold).

BACKGROUND
Application for Corps of Engineers Permit (77J-I037) for a fifth
pier and fuel facility is pending.
Florida Department of Environrnental Regulation issues
permits.
Florida Department of Natural Resources issues necessary
leases.
City of Miarni advertises public notice of DRI hearing before
City Commission on December 15, 1977, stating further that
PAB will consider recommendations on November 16, 1977.
South Florida Regional Planning Council recommends approval
subject to conditions (see SFRPC Recommendation later and
attachment).
City of Miarni Zoning Board defers action on conditional use
application to permit a marina consisting of + 186 slips with a
potential capacity of 300 boats and extending approximately
500 feet into liscayne Bay (25' allowed) and variance applica-
tion to permit a marina, waiving a 20 foot wide landscaped
waterfront yard area and 5,170 square feet of usable open
space.
There is an existing and projected critical need for marina
facilities in Dade County. In 1976 there were 8,171 berths in
the County with an estimated deficiency of over 2,500 berths.
It is projected that there will be a need for over 20,000 berths
by the year 2000 with the greatest clernand in the raid -bay area.
, Recognizing this need, Dade County is currently preparing a
Comprehensive Marina Development Plan and the City of Miarni
will shortly undertake a study aimed at expanding marina
facilities within the City.
The site of the proposed Urnni-Plaza Venetia Marina is located
in Biscayne Bay, immediately north of Venetian Causeway,
extending approximately 800 feet north of Venetian Causeway
and 500 feet easterly encompassing 914, 853 square feet. The
marina will provide tie-up facilities for a potential capacity of
300 boots. In addition a fueling area and sewage pump -out area
will be included, together with electrical outlets on the piers.
The marina is projected to start construction in the fall of 1977
with an III -month to 3-year completion date. Bay bottom land
is owned by the State of Florida and all necessary permits have
been issued.
The marina is considered to be an accessory use to Plaza
Venetia - a residential apartment building with first floor
commercial uses and parking garage - which is zoned C-3
Central Commercial and which has already received conditional
use approval for residential and parking uses. It should be noted
therefore that the Plaza Venetia development itself is not
properly a part of this DRI hearing. The C-3 zoning district
allows marinas as conditional uses. Article IV, Section 23, of
the CZO requires usable open space per vessel. Additionally
Article IV, Section 40 of the CZO requires a 20 foot wide
landscaped yard adjacent to Biscayne Bay. The applications for
conditional use for the marina and for variances trorn required
open space and yard areas are currently before the Zoning
Board.

for your use in reviewing this Development of Regional Impact as defined
in Chapter 22-F of the Florida Administrative Code and authorized by
380.06, Florida Statutes.
While the staff of the Council is available to assist in the resolution of
any matter regarding the report, the Council has no legal mechanism through
which it can act on this report again, except through appeal procedures.
Chapter 380.06 (7)(e) and (II) require that the City of Miami render a decision

(b) The development is consistent with the local land development
regulations; and
(c) The development is consistent with the report and recommendations
of the regional planning agency."
Copies of any development order issued to the applicant with regard to this
project should be transmitted to the South Florida Regional Planning Council
and the Division of State Planning as the Division indicates that the 30 day
appeal period is triggered by receipt of your development order.
Past problems have forced the Council to adopt a Rule requiring appeal of
a Development Order received in the week before a Council meeting. In the
hope that we would not have to file such an appeal, I would strongly en-

INTRODUCTION
This assessment of the proposed Omni - Plaza Venetia Marina has been
prepared by the South Florida Regional Planning Council as required
by the Florida Environmental Land and Water Management Act, for all
Developments of Regional Impact.
The assessment is largely based on information supplied by the
applicant in the Application for Development Approval. Additional
information was obtained by contacting local officials, consulting
official plans, and by reviewing reports related to specific issues.
Water and water related elements of the project were also reviewed
by the South Florida Water Management District.
In accordance with the Act, this report is intended to provide the
City of Miami and the Division of State Planning with an overview
of the impacts, both positive and negative, that would probably
result from approval of the proposal. The recommendations are
intended to assist the City of Miami in reaching its decision re-
garding the proposed development. They are not intended to foreclose
or abridge the leaal responsibility of local government to act pursuant
to applicable local laws or ordinances.
Copies of any "Development Order" (an order granting, denying or
granting with conditions an application for a development permit) issued
with regard to this project must be transmitted to the South Florida
Regional Planning Council and the Department of Administration, Division
of State Planning.

PARt I1 = SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS j 1
A, SUMMARY
In the Spring of 1976 the South Florida Regional Planning
Council reviewed an application for a U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers permit (76J-0437) to construct a marina, containing
approximately 80 slips, for the use of Plaza Venetia apartment
owners. 0n June 30, 1976, the Corps issued the permit to con-
struct the Plaza Venetia portion of the proposed Marina. In
Spring of 1977 the Council reviewed an application from the
same applicant (Florida East Coast Properties), for a Corps
permit (77J-0283) to construct approximately 83 slips, the two
northern -most piers of the five currently proposed. The
Division of State Planning sent a monitoring letter (dated
April 7, 1977) to the applicant notifying him that the develop-
ment was a potential DRI. The Council, in the course of its
review, notified the Corps (letter dated April 22, 1977) of
the potential DPI status of the project. The Division of State
Planning (letter dated July 7, 1977) concluded that the four
piers, in fact, constitute one marina containing over 100 slips
and therefore, determined them to be a Development of Regional
Impact. The ADA included a fifth pier, which is currently
the subject of Corps permit application (77J-1037), containing
a fueling facility.
The site of the proposed Marina is Biscayne Bay, just north
of Venetian Causeway, in the City of Miami. It will provide
tie-up facilities for approximately 300 boats. The Marina will
-7-
include a fueling area with Slate required environmental safeguards.
In addition, sewage pump out facilities will be provided for boats
with holding tank.. The applicant indicates that no permanent live
aboards will be permitted. The applicant has been issued construction
permits for the major portions of the project from Department of
Environmental Regulation and the Corps of Engineers. In addition, the
applicant possesses the necessary Department of Natural Resources leases,
The proposed Omni - Plaza Venetia Marina Development of Regional
Impact represents only one part of the Omni -Plaza Venetia redevelopment
area. However, the Omni Hotel and commercial complex and the Plaza
Venetia residential and commercial complex do not legally constitute
part of the DRI.
The proposed Marina is projected to start construction in the Fall
of 1977 with an.18-month to 3-year completion date.
1. Environmental end Natural Resources
Based on the informalion submitted, construction of the marina
will not result in significant additional adverse impacts on
the environment.
2. Economy
The applicant estimates that the total cost of the marina will be
$1,509,000, all of which will be spent in the Region. Approxi-
mately 40 construction and 37 non -construction workers will be
employed during the life of the project.
-8-
Public Facilities
the capacity of public facilities for sewage treatment,
education, water supply, solid waste, and energy appear
to be adequate to accommodate the needs of the marina.
The marina will enhance the recreation facilities of the
community.
d, Transportation
The transportation impacts of the proposed marina are ex-
pected to be a minor portion of the Omni -Plaza Venetia
development with appropriate safeguards.
5. Ports
The Omni -Plaza Venetia Marina will increase the accessibility
of B i'scayne Bay to the Reg i on's boating community.
f3. RECOMMENDATIONS
It is the recommendation of the South Florida Regional
Planning Council that the proposed Omni -Plaza Venetia Marina
Development of Regional I rnpact be approved, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The City requires the applicant to dedicate one-half parking
space at the Omni -Plaza. Venetia parking facilities for each
boat berthed at the Marina (approximately 150).
2. The applicant locate and mark any shoal grass beds within
the vicinity of the marina.
3. The City prohibit non -emergency access to the Marina from
N, E. 15th Street, east of North [3ayshore Drive.
4. Water quality be monitored on a quarterly basis from the
beginning of construction until one year after construction
is completed.
5. The Application for Development Approval should be incorporated
by reference into, the Development Order as follows:
"the Application for Development Approval is incorporated
herein by reference and relied upon by the parties in discharging
their statutory duties under Chapter 360 Florida Statutes.
Compliance with the representations contained in the Application
for Development Approval is a condition for approval unless
waived or modified by agreement with the parties."

I. Project Description
The proposed port facility is a wet berth marina, part of
the Omni -Plaza Venetia redevelopment area located on Biscayne
Bay in the City of Miami. It will provide space
for approximately 300 boats. It has been projected that con-
struction will begin in the Fall of 1977 and will take 18
months to 3 years to complete.
The marina will include facilities for sewage pump out, as
well as a fueling area. No parking will be provided for the
marina. There does appear to be one problem: the ADA states
that the marina will be used by boats with a draft of up to
5 feet, but the depth of the harbor has been measured at 3 to
15 feet.
2. Service Area
Although part of the privately owned Omni -Plaza Venetia complex,
the applicant states that the marina will be open to the public
on a first -come, first -serve basis, with possibly 20-30 spates
reserved for guests of the Omni Hotel. The ADA states that the
marina will serve the City of Miami, but its service area is
expected to go beyond Miami to include most of Dade County.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Air
Impacts on air quality are expected to be minimal as a result
of this project. No separate parking facilities are being pro-
vided, so vehicle emIsslons were not considered in the ADA. A
-11-
complex source permit from the Dcpartmertit of Environmental
Regulation will not be required for the marina.
2. Land
The applicant states that there will be no dredging, filling,
clearing or grading at the site. However, present water depth
is,less than the draft of vessels anticipated by the applicant.
No unique geologic features at the site are identified. There
may be some erosion of the bottom from boat wakes, but this is
expected io be minimal and is not addressed in the ADA,
3. Water
The marina is located in the Biscayne Aquatic Preserve and special
precaution should be taken to protect this resource. The applicant
proposes to provide several water quality safeguards, including:
a. a sewage pump out facility;
b. spill prevention devices, as currently recommended by the
EPA or U.S. Coax' Guard, located at the fueling facility;
C. turbidity screens installed around the docks during installation
and after construction until turbidity levels fall within state
standards;
d. a drainage system designed on the fuel platfor►n to contain any
spilled fuel;
e. a swale or drain area behind the upland bulkhead cap, capable
of holding one- 1ch sheet flow.
The Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management has
recommended that the applicant monitor water quality on a quarterly basis
for at least one year following construction.
Wetlands
There are no wetland oh the site.
5. Flood Plains
The marina is locuted within the 100 year flood prone area:
This should pose no problem, with the possible exception of
petroleum or sewage storage. The applicant has indicated
that the petroleum storage areas will be located under the
concrete docking abutting the entrance to the marina piers,
isolated from any water area, and no sewage holding tanks
will be required because pump out will go directly into the
municipal system. This should alleviate any potential problems.
6. Vegetation and Wildlife
There are no rare or endangered plants or wildlife located on
the site. However, there appear to be shoal grasses within the
vicinity of the marina. The applicant has agreed, if requested,
to seek out the exact site of the shoal grasses and if they are
found to be in relatively shallow water, mark them so that they
will be protected from boat traffic. It is recommended that the
applicant be directed to locate and mark shoal grass beds.
7. Historical and Archaeological Sites
The site does not appear to be of historic or archaeological
significance.
C. ECONOMY
1. Development Expenditures
The construction of the Omni -Plaza Venetia Marina is scheduled
-13-
to start in the Fall of I9770 with an It3-month io 3-yezr
cctirnp l et i on date. The estimated expenses are as follows!
Labor S 711,000
Materials 567,000
Professional Service_ 96,000
Administrative, etc. 135,000
TOTAL EXPENDITURES 11,509,000
The ADA states that 100% of the monies Will be spent within
the Region.
Employment Characte?r i ct i cs
Approximately 40 construction and 37 service workers will
be employed on the project throughout construction. The
applicant foresees no seasonal employment at.this time.
3. F- i E1ca I
As part of they Omni -Plaza Venetia development complex, no cost -
revenue breakdowns are provided in the ADA for the marina faci I ity.
D. PliBL(C FACILITIES
1. Wastewater rlan:tnr•ment
The applicant estimates that approximately 3,750 gallons of sewage
discharge will be handled by the pump out facility on a peaty. day.
Treatment will bt. provided at 1 he City of Miami Regional Sew&le
Treatnuont Plant on Virginia Key. Wafer used primarily for hose
connections and water fountains will not be returned to the connector
lines, but will enter Biscayne Bay.
-14-
Drainage
Drainage concerns at the project are confined to two areas:
the fueling area and the upland area. The applicant has
made design provisions to retain any gas spillage at the
fueling area so that it can be removed from the water, as
per State of Florida guidelines. Required drains and
collection basins will also be installed for oil and gas. A
one inch sheet water flow from the upland will be retained by
the bulkhead cap and the swale and/or french retention drain
to be located behind the cap.
3. Water Sup ly
The developer will maintain and operate an internal water supply
designed to provide water for drinking fountains and hose outlets.
As part of the Omni -Plaza Venetia redevelopment area, all existing
and proposed water lines have been designed to meet the maximum
fire pressure criteria of the City of Miami Fire Department.
4. Solid Waste
Solid waste will be collected by the City of Miami. It will
have a minimal impact when compared to the overall Omni -Plaza
Venetia complex.
5. Energy
Electrical demand will have an insignificant impact when compared
to the overall Omni -Plaza Venetia complex.
6. Education
If there are no permanent live aboards, as stated by the applicant,
there will be no impact on the public school system.
-15-
Recreat i on and Open Space
The entire marina can be considered a recreational facility
and, therefore, will have a positive impact, as far as the Penion'
recreational need: are concerned. Marina space will he leased
to the public on a first -come, first -serve basis. All facilities
within the marina will be maintained by the developer.
TRANSPORTATION
The proposed marina is projected to generaie 475 average daily
trips. It is expected that peak traffic flows will occur on week-
ends, therefore, lessening the impacts on the major traffic arteries,
viz., Biscayne Boulevard, N.E. I5th Street, and North Bayshore Drive,
which have peak traffic flows during weekdays.
No parkirii facilities are being provided for the marina. In
System Eva I uat i nn Factory.: A We rk i no Paper for Dade County Marinas
Pnr by Connell, "etc,alf Eddy, a parking ratio of one parking
space per berth is considered acceptable for pleasure boat marinas.
The applicant states that access to the marina will be provided
through the parkins: garage of phase one and two of Plaza Venetia with
additional ingress from N.E. I5th Street at the entrance to the
Venetian Causeway. It appears that ingress from N.E. 15th Street,
east of North Bayshore Drive, would create a potential point of congestion
with traffic entering and leaving the Venetian Causeway, as well
as a possible safety hazard.
