Mission
Our mission is to enrich the young minds of our community by
providing them with hands-on training that centers around the
complete process of filmmaking. By targeting underserved local
communities, we can give our youth an opportunity to tell their stories
and show their talents. Our innovative program is set up to build skill
sets that expand beyond the classroom and into the workforce. The
skills, education, and guidance provided at 1st Take will prepare our
youth to have the skills needed to be successful in life. We aim to
develop relationships with local and state colleges to create scholarship
programs that will provide our students with the workforce and
knowledge in media art and the opportunity to continue their education
to achieve a college degree in film and entertainment.
The 1st Take Youth Film Program will serve as an interactive central
connection between arts, business, media, and entertainment. Students
will have the opportunity to attend workshops in film, editing,
cinematography, and photography. Select teens that qualify for
on-the-job training can compete for paid and unpaid internships as well.
All interns will be under the direction of the project coordinator and the
film professionals at Florida Film House (FFH). FFH has been helping
the youth find their voice for five years. With the help of our supporters,
we can continue to make a change in our future.

Enclosures: 16968 Exhibit A
16968 Notice to the Public
16968 Proposal
16968 Backup
BACKGROUND:
The proposed project, located at 1695 Northwest 1st Court, Miami, Florida, identified by folio
number 01-3125-048-1160 and owned by EWB Holdings, LLC (the "Developer"), directly
advances the Omni CRA's mission to reduce slum and blight while increasing the availability of
affordable housing within the Redevelopment Area. The project consists of the construction and
development of a multi -generational, family -centered duplex containing two (2) five -bedroom
affordable housing units for residents whose annual income is equal to or less than seventy
percent (70%) of the Area Median Income ("AMI") for Miami -Dade County, as published
annually by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") (the
"Project"). The Project is consistent with the CRA's 2019 Redevelopment Plan, which prioritizes
the creation of affordable and workforce housing options and encourages partnerships with
private entities to redevelop blighted properties and improve the public realm.
The requested allocation, in an amount not to exceed One Million Seven Hundred Thousand
and 00/100 Dollars ($1,700,000.00), will underwrite costs associated with the construction and
development of the Project. Funding for the Project shall be contingent upon the substantial
completion, defined as eighty percent (80%) completion, of the mixed -income development
project located at 1433 Northwest 1st Court and 1435 Northwest 1st Court, Miami, Florida,
previously approved by the Board on June 26, 2025, pursuant to CRA Resolution No. CRA-R-
25-0029. Dr. Evalina Bestman, owner of EWB Holdings, LLC, has demonstrated a longstanding
commitment to serving Miami residents through her work in community health and affordable
housing. The proposed duplex is intended to serve as a model for developing vacant lots zoned
for duplexes into permanently affordable, family -sized housing opportunities for residents within
the Redevelopment Area.

The Board of Commissioners is urged to approve the resolution ratifying, approving, and
confirming the Executive Director's recommendation and finding that competitive negotiation
methods and procedures are not practicable or advantageous to the CRA pursuant to Sections

The resolution further waives the requirements for competitive sealed bidding and authorizes
the allocation of funds to the Developer for the Project.
The Project addresses a critical need for larger affordable housing units capable of
accommodating multi -generational families, while supporting the CRA's goals of eliminating
slum and blight, promoting redevelopment of underutilized properties, and expanding long-term
affordable housing opportunities. The allocation will be subject to all required agreements and
supporting documents, including a Forgivable Loan Agreement and a restrictive covenant
requiring rent restrictions for thirty (30) years, to be recorded in the public records of Miami -
Dade County, Florida. Funds will be disbursed on a reimbursement basis or upon presentation
of invoices or satisfactory documentation, all in forms acceptable to General Counsel.

Carlos Suarez, Executive Director

Dear Mr. Suarez,
I am pleased to submit a proposal to develop the vacant property at 1695 NW 1st Court, adjacent to the
Dorsey Library (folio 01-3125-048-1160), tailored to the needs of Overtown residents, including a prototype for a
large, multi -generational, family -centered duplex. This project presents a significant opportunity to address critical
housing shortages and uplift our community while demonstrating a new way to develop in the large areas of the
City zoned T3-0.
Having grown up in Overtown, I have a deep connection to this neighborhood. My career has been
dedicated to serving our city's black residents, with a particular focus on fostering healthy and inclusive
communities. Developing high -quality, affordable housing for families in Overtown has long been a personal goal
of mine, driven by a desire to give back to the community that shaped me.
Our proposed development is designed with the specific needs of Overtown families in mind. The plan
includes modern, energy -efficient duplexes that offer safe and comfortable living spaces for families of various
sizes and income levels. We also envision community spaces, green areas, and essential amenities that will
promote a vibrant and healthy community life.
To ensure the success of this project, our team has conducted research and engaged with local residents.
We are confident that our development will not only provide much -needed housing but also stimulate economic
growth, create jobs, and foster a sense of pride and ownership within the community.
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 neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Dr. Evalina Bestman

Proposal for Omni CRA funding for
Dr. Evalina Bestman Duplex Project
1695 NW 1st Court: 2-unit Multigenerational Duplex
Project Introduction
Dr. Evalina Bestman was born and raised about a block away from these properties in Overtown. She
has gone on to make a successful career in Miami, founding the New Horizons Community Health Center
in Allapattah—which serves both adults and children with mental health needs, providing critical
counseling services as well as supportive housing —and serving as a founding director of the Chapman
Partnership for the Homeless based in the Omni neighborhood.
Having spent her life in service to her community, she intends to use the land she owns to build a set of
buildings in Overtown and Allapattah where people with lower incomes can safely and comfortably live,
close to jobs, transit, and the neighborhood community and character they know.
Dorsey Duplex
The City of Miami has many neighborhoods zoned for duplex, but it is hard to feasibly build unless the
rents are high. Unfortunately, many vacant lots waiting for eventual rapid assembly and potential
gentrification are the result. This pilot project uses CRA funding to explore a new idea in how to develop
these lots by their current owners and to create a permanent layer of affordability for the residents.

The costs of childcare have rapidly outpaced wage growth, and more and more families have dual -
employed parents. The large Dorsey Duplex located next to the Dorsey Library on NW 17th Street is an
exciting concept to explore large -bedroom duplexes as a way to allow families to become both more
financially efficient, as well as to provide a healthy and time -tested safety net for the elderly, the young,
and working parents. With up to 5 bedrooms per unit, and multiple bathrooms, as well as outdoor
space, the entire family can live side by side, while still enjoying their own private spaces as needed.
If this project is successful, Dr. Bestman also plans to build these on her lots zoned for Duplex
Residential in the Allapattah neighborhood as well.

Neighborhood Need
Downtown Miami is in the midst of a construction boom, symbolizing growth and urban revitalization.
Yet, this expansion conceals a critical issue: Miami faces a severe housing affordability crisis. Rising
housing costs coupled with relatively low wages have made the city one of the least affordable in the
nation, with the shortage of affordable housing particularly acute in neighborhoods like Overtown. Here,
residents struggle with both gentrification pressures and a specific scarcity of quality; 4- or 5-bedroom
units capable of accommodating an extended family are almost never built today, except within luxury
developments.
Overtown's challenges are not new; redlining and the construction of 1-395 in the 1960s left lasting
impacts, disrupting the neighborhood's social fabric and economic vitality. As the interstate divided the
community, thousands of residents were displaced, businesses closed, and once -vibrant streets became
fragmented and isolated. While development surges across the Omni CRA, much of Overtown has
struggled to regain its footing. High predevelopment costs and complex financing often deter property
owners from investing in vacant or neglected sites, which are frequently sold to outside investors
seeking to consolidate land.
The CRA has committed to assisting Overtown's residents and landowners in building out the
neighborhood without displacing the residents. In its amended Redevelopment Plan (pages 4-32 and 5-
56), the CRA emphasizes housing affordability as a central priority, outlining several measures to support
development:
"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."
The Project and accompanying request seek financial support from the CRA to underwrite the
development of residential units, specifically for low-income and workforce households, and ask the
CRA to provide the Applicant with a project -specific incentive.
This initiative seeks financial backing from the CRA to support the creation of housing solutions targeted
for low-income residents. The request entails granting the applicant special incentives tailored to the
Attachment: 16968 Proposal (16968 : Grant to EWB Holdings, LLC for Project located at 1695 NW 1st Court)
Packet Pg. 41
1.2.c
project, underscoring the CRA's commitment to making affordable housing more accessible and
supporting the development of inclusive, thriving communities.
To address Miami's housing crisis effectively, a focused effort on neighborhoods like Overtown is
essential, where the need for affordable housing is particularly pressing, yet too many residents are
being displaced during construction. The CRA's initiatives to foster affordable housing development are
critical to sustaining the economic vitality of these communities. By supporting projects that include
affordable units and offering financial incentives to developers, there is potential to mitigate
displacement and ensure that long-time residents have access to quality, affordable housing. This
approach not only addresses immediate needs but also aligns with a broader vision of creating a more
equitable and inclusive Miami for all its residents.
Proposed Schedule of Values
Duplex: The total development costs are estimated at $3,314,963. For a detailed cost breakdown, see
the attached schedule of values.
Financing Plan & CRA Request
This project is a recipient of the 3C Early PredevelopmentAssistance Grant from Miami Homes For All —a
nonprofit champion for low-income residents across the County who struggle to find a safe and
affordable place to live —for up to $100,000 in costs associated with early predevelopment of properties
like this, including soft costs such as architecture, surveys, title search, zoning research, and more. This
allows long-time landowners, such as Dr. Bestman, to accurately assess the costs and feasibility of
building affordable in-house housing on small properties, as well as assist with some pre -development
needs, such as architecture and zoning.
This project is within a federally designated Opportunity Zone, which will allow Dr. Bestman to access
investment
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
mom & pop ownership in the community, and contribute a forgivable loan of $1,700,000 for the hard
and soft costs of the large multigenerational Duplex development.
Affordability Plan
Dorsey Duplex
Currently, the City of Miami's T3-O zoning regulation covers a good proportion of residential
neighborhoods facing intense development pressure, including Overtown, Allapattah, Little Haiti, and
Coconut Grove. This pilot project aims to develop a typology that can feature very large units.

INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Board Chair Damian Pardo
and Members of the CRA Board
From: Carlos I. Suarez
Executive Director
Date: May 21, 2026
File: 19338
Subject: 50 NW 14th Street - Temporary
Activation of Property
Enclosures:
BACKGROUND:
The Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") owns and
controls certain real property located at 50 Northwest 14th Street, Miami, Florida 33136
("Property"). The Property became vacant on April 30, 2026, resulting in unused and
underutilized spaces suitable for temporary activation. The proposed resolution authorizes the
Executive Director to initiate the activation of unused and underutilized spaces at the Property
for short-term community, cultural, commercial, entrepreneurial, artistic, educational, and other
temporary public -facing uses (the "Initiative"). Eligible temporary users may include local
businesses, entrepreneurs, artists, nonprofit organizations, cultural organizations, community
groups, educational institutions, and other participants whose activities are open and accessible
to the general public. To facilitate the Initiative, the Executive Director would be authorized to
develop guidelines for the temporary use of the Property on a first -come, first -served basis and
to negotiate and execute Revocable Licenses, Temporary Use Agreements, and any other
necessary documents, all in a form acceptable to General Counsel.
JUSTIFICATION:
The temporary activation of the Property supports the CRA's 2019 Redevelopment Plan and
Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes, by promoting community revitalization, cultural
programming, local entrepreneurship, public access, and economic development within the
CRA's redevelopment area. The Initiative will allow the CRA to place an otherwise vacant and
underutilized property into productive short-term use while a final determination is made
regarding the future use, redevelopment, disposition, or long-term activation of the Property.
The resolution further authorizes the Executive Director to negotiate and collect reasonable
fees, rent, deposits, reimbursement amounts, and cost recovery charges based on the type,
duration, intensity, and operational impact of each activation, including costs related to cleaning,
Packet Pg. 50
1.3
security, utilities, staffing, maintenance, repairs, and damages. Revenues or proceeds
generated from temporary activations may be utilized to assist with building maintenance,
security, utilities, repairs, operational expenses, upkeep, and related property costs.
The Resolution further authorizes the Executive Director to proceed with any necessary
buildout, improvements, modifications, furnishing, and related work required to prepare and
accommodate the temporary activation of designated portions of the Property and to implement
guidelines to govern the Initiative for the temporary use of the Property, subject to budgetary
approvals at time of need.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve the attached Resolution
authorizing the Executive Director to initiate the temporary activation of the Property; develop
and implement guidelines governing temporary use of the activated spaces on a first -come,
first -served basis; negotiate and collect reasonable fees, rent, deposits, reimbursement
amounts, and cost recovery charges; and negotiate and execute any and all documents
necessary to implement the Initiative, including Revocable Licenses, Temporary Use
Agreements, and related amendments, all in a form acceptable to General Counsel.
FUNDING:
No additional CRA funding allocation is requested at this time. Any revenues or proceeds
generated from the temporary activation of the Property may be utilized to assist with building
maintenance, security, utilities, repairs, operational expenses, upkeep, and related property
costs until a final determination is made regarding the future use, redevelopment, or disposition
of the Property.

A FLAGSHIP GROOMING EXPERIENCE
Dear Members of the Omni CRA Board,
My name is Ramon Valentin, and I am pleased to formally introduce myself in connection
with my proposal for the sublease of Retail Space #1 at 2035 North Miami Avenue.
I am a Miami -based professional with over 19 years of experience in the financial services
industry, currently serving as a Relationship Officer (Assistant Vice President) at Citi Bank.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in operations, compliance,
client onboarding, and risk management, while consistently delivering a high level of client
service.
Prior to my current role, I built my career at JPMorgan Chase, where I progressed through
multiple positions including Teller, Personal Banker, Business Banker, and ultimately
Branch Manager. This provided me with hands-on experience in retail banking operations,
sales, team leadership, and branch management. As a Branch Manager, I was responsible
for overseeing daily operations, managing staff, driving performance, and ensuring
compliance with all regulatory and operational standards.
This combined experience has equipped me with the discipline, financial acumen, and
leadership skills necessary to successfully develop and operate a business.
am now pursuing the development of Wynwood House Cuts, a modern, design -driven
barbershop concept that aligns with the cultural and economic vision of the Omni
Community Redevelopment Area. The concept is centered around delivering "a flagship
grooming experience," combining premium grooming services with a strong emphasis on
community, local art, and elevated customer experience.

Dear Members of the Omni CRA Board,
My name is Jason Medina, and I am pleased to formally introduce myself as a partner with
Ramon Valentin in connection with our proposal for the sublease of Retail Space #1 at
2035 North Miami Avenue.
I come from a family background of barbers, where I developed an early appreciation for
the craft, discipline, and community impact that barbershops bring. This foundation has
given me a strong understanding of the industry, customer expectations, and the
importance of delivering both quality service and a welcoming environment.
Professionally, I currently serve as a Customer Service Lead Manager at American Airlines,
where I am responsible for overseeing daily operations, leading teams, and ensuring a high
standard of customer experience. My role requires strong leadership, problem -solving, and
operational efficiency in a fast -paced, high -demand environment, all while maintaining a
consistent focus on customer satisfaction.
This combination of industry roots and professional experience has prepared me to
contribute meaningfully to the development and operation of Wynwood House Cuts.
Together with my partner, Ramon Valentin, we are pursuing the development of Wynwood
House Cuts, a modern, design -driven barbershop concept that aligns with the cultural and
economic vision of the Omni Community Redevelopment Area. The concept is centered
around delivering "a flagship grooming experience," combining premium grooming services
with a strong emphasis on community, local art, and elevated customer experience.

Request letter
From Ramon Valentin and Jason Medina
Dear Members of the Omni CRA Board,
As we move forward with our proposal for Wynwood House Cuts, we would like to
respectfully explore potential support mechanisms that would allow us to successfully
deliver a high -quality, community -driven concept aligned with the goals of the Omni CRA.
Given that the project requires a full build -out of a grey -shell commercial space, we
anticipate investing approximately $100,000-$150,000 in construction, equipment, and
design to create a flagship -level barbershop experience that reflects the cultural identity of
Wynwood.
In order to execute this vision at the highest level while also allocating resources toward
community initiatives, local hiring, and artist collaborations, we would like to inquire about
the availability of:
• A Business grant or tenant improvement contribution in the amount of
$50,000 to support build -out costs
• A favorable lease structure in the range of $30-$40 per square foot, allowing the
business to maintain long-term sustainability and reinvest in community impact
efforts.

This request is made with the intention of ensuring that Wynwood House Cuts can serve
not only as a successful business, but as a Long-term community anchor that actively
contributes to job creation, economic activity, and neighborhood engagement.
We are fully committed to this project and are prepared to make a significant financial
investment of our own. With the support of the Omni CRA, we are confident in our ability to
deliver a concept that aligns with your mission and adds lasting value to the community.
We appreciate your consideration and would welcome the opportunity to further discuss
how this support can help bring this vision to life.
Sincerely,
Ramon Valentin

and connected. A place that reflects the culture, energy, and identity that makes Wynwood
so unique.
We believe in creating something that goes beyond transactions a space that generates
opportunity, supports local growth, and becomes part of the fabric of the neighborhood.
Our goal is not only to operate a successful business, but to contribute meaningfully to the
continued revitalization of the Omni CRA district and to the people who call it home.
We are proud of what we have built in this proposal, and even more inspired by the
possibility of bringing it to life. It would be an honor to partner with the Omni CRA and to
contribute to the vision you continue to shape for this community.
Thank you again for your time, your leadership, and your commitment to creating
opportunities for businesses like ours. We look forward to the opportunity to move forward
together.
With sincere appreciation,
Ramon Valentin

total of 4,208 square feet, as shown and positioned in Exhibit "A" ("Property"), is declaring its
intent to sublease its interest in the Property, currently owned by Wynwood Works, LLC and
being leased from Wynwood Works Manager, LLC on or after May 29, 2026. The spaces are
located on the ground floor of a 12-story building comprising of 120 residential units and
additional retail space.
Pursuant to Section 163.380(3)(a), Florida Statutes, prior to disposition of any real property or
interest therein in a community redevelopment area, the Omni CRA shall give public notice of
such proposed disposition by publication in a newspaper having a general circulation in the
community, at least 30 days prior to the execution of any contract to sell, lease, or otherwise
transfer real property thereto. The advertisement must invite proposals from, and make all
pertinent information available to, private redevelopers or any persons interested in undertaking
to redevelop or rehabilitate the community redevelopment area or any part thereof. Such notice
shall identify the properties and shall state that proposals must be made by those interested
within 30 days after the date of publication of the notice, and that such further information as is
available may be obtained at the location designated in the notice. The Omni CRA shall consider
all such redevelopment or rehabilitation proposals and the financial and legal ability of the
persons making such proposals to carry them out. The Omni CRA may negotiate with any
persons for proposals for the conveyance or lease of any real property acquired by it in the
community redevelopment area. The Omni CRA may accept such proposals as it deems to be in
the public interest and in furtherance of Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes.
Further, Section 163.380(2), Florida Statutes, requires that such real property or interest shall be
conveyed at a value determined to be in the public interest for uses in accordance with the
Community Redevelopment Plan and in accordance with such reasonable disposal procedures as
the local government or the community redevelopment agency may prescribe.

persons interested in undertaking the sublease of the adjoining bays identified as Retail 1 and
Retail 2 as shown in Exhibit "A.". Subject to the approval of the Omni CRA Board of

agreement with Wynwood Works Manager, LLC. Specific terms of the sublease agreement are
to be determined and are negotiable.
In determining that the lease value of the real property is in the public interest and that the
proposed use is in compliance with the Community Redevelopment Plan, the Omni CRA will
take into account and give consideration to:
1. The long-term benefits to be achieved by the Omni CRA based on the proposed use when
compared to any potential short-term losses or costs in the sub -lease of such real property; and
2. The appraised sub -lease value; and
3. The uses provided for in the community redevelopment plan and any other pertinent
redevelopment or land use plans; and
4. The restrictions upon the property, and any covenants, conditions, and obligations
assumed by the sub -lessee of the property. Sub -lease of this property shall benefit the Omni
Community Redevelopment Area; and
5. The objectives of the plan for the prevention of the recurrence of slum or blighted areas.
In the event the sub -lease price of the real property is less than the appraised sub -lease value,
such disposition requires the approval of the governing body of the municipality which approval
may only be given following a duly noticed public hearing. Further the Omni CRA may provide
in any instrument of conveyance to a private purchaser that such purchaser is without power to
sub -lease or otherwise transfer the real property without the prior written consent of the
community redevelopment agency. The community redevelopment agency may require other
covenants as part of the conveyance process.
