RESOLUTION No. 74-249
A RESOLUTION OBJECTING TO THE INCLUSION
IN DADE COUNTY'S COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM OF PORTIONS OF COCONUT GROVE NOT
INCLUDED IN EXISTING NEIGHBOP.HOOD
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS; INITIATING IMMEDIATE
ACTION BY CONTACTING THE APPROPRIATE COUNTY
AUTHORITEES AND REQUESTING THAT BOUNDARY
LINES REMAIN THE SAME.
WHEREAS, the Community Improvement Program of Dade County,
projects the inclusion in its priority area J of portions of.
Coconut Grove which are not included in the existing Neighborhood
Development Program Area No. 4 and the said improvement program
contemplates in the proposed priority area J both low income hous-
ing and urban renewal activities; and
WHEREAS, this Commission at a public hearing on Thursday,
March 28, 1974, has heard evidence pertaining to said proposed
priority area J and its effects on the entire area of Coconut Grove;
and
WHEREAS, any assumption that the portion of said area J outside
of"the said NDP area is blighted, is based upon the averaging of the
almost non-existent blight outside of the NDP area with the heavy
blight in the center of the NDP area; and
WHEREAS, this Commission finds that the inclusion in proposed
area J of areas not included in said NDP Area No. 4, is not in the
best interests of the City of Miami or of the residents and property
owners of the Coconut Grove area, in that:
A) The area of proposed priority area J lying outside of NDP
Area No. 4 is not blighted;
B) Said area J outside of NDP Area No. 4 contains insufficient
vacant land for project development;

C) Urban newa1 projects and low income housing would
increase the crowding and traffic in proposed area J
outside of NDP Area No. 4, which already contains both
residentail and commercial high buildings;
The plans for priority area J would aggravate rapid
growth in the Coconut Grove area, where the preservation
of its unique atmosphere should prohibit further growth
in contravention of the City of Miami's master plan for
the Coconut Grove area;
E) Urban renewal and low income housing in priority area J
outside of NDP Area No. 4 would contribute to the blight-
ing of the area outside of NDP Area No. 4 by expanding the
area of "the highest incidence of crime" referred to on
pages 51 and 53 of the Profile of Metropolitan Dade
County: Conditions and Needs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA:
Section 1. That the City Commission hereby opposes the
inclusion of any area beyond the boundaries of Neighborhood Develop-
ment Program (NDP) Area No. 4 in priority Area J of bounty's

requested to maintain the present boundary lines of NDP Area No. 4
