City of Miami Page 1 Printed on 9/4/2015
A motion was made by Michelle Spence -Jones, seconded by Tomas Regalado, that this matter be ADOPTED.
Chairman Gonzalez: CA. 3.
Commissioner Regalado: The question is -- this money, I understand, is coming from DDA (Downtown Development
Authority) for DDA, but was it paid already? Was the study done or we are authorizing the study?
Carmen Sanchez (Assistant Director): Good morning, Commissioner. Carmen Sanchez, Department of Planning. The
funds that are for your consideration are -- have been collected already through permit fees that development pays
within the DRI (Development of Regional Impact) area. Those funds have been collected. They're not general funds.
They're not future funds to be collected, They are ready and available now, and that is for a study to be done for
Increment III of the development order, and it takes approximately two years to put all of that together.
Commissioner Regalado: So the study has not been done?
Ms. Sanchez: No, sir.
Commissioner Regalado: Oh, because yesterday my understanding was, in the briefing, that the study had been
done.
Ms. Sanchez: No, sir, it has not been done.
Commissioner Regalado: And do we need to approve the study first?
Ms. Sanchez: Absolutely. The study will be approved and will be brought before you for your consideration.
Commissioner Regalado: But we have to approve the study first or --
Ms. Sanchez: Once it gets done. It go --
Commissioner Regalado: No, no. I understand that, but what is this study for.
Ms. Sanchez: It's for the -- it's the development order -- it's Increment III of the development order, and basically, is
the program for that increment, for the downtown DRI.
Commissioner Regalado: Still, I don't understand what is the purpose, Is this to expand the --
Ms. Sanchez: No,
Commissioner Regalado: -- the affordable housing? This doesn't have to do anything with the affordable housing, to
expand -4
Ms. Sanchez: No. It's just basically --
Jeff Bercow: Let me --
Ms. Sanchez: -- Increment III of the development order and all it does right now is looking at the different parts of it.
Jeff Bercow is here from the DDA, and if you care, he can give you additional details on that.
Mr. Bercow: Thank you, Carmen and Commissioner Regalado. Jeff Bercow, vice chair of the DDA. What Carmen
told you is substantially correct. However, a portion of the funds is going to reimburse DDA for studies already
done. One for -- one is the affordable housing study, and the other, it was a study that was done to determine that we
were running out of credits for -- Increment I? -- for Increment II, so a portion of these funds will go to reimburse DDA
for planning services that have already taken place. The majority of the funds will be going for planning and
consulting services that are necessary to move to the next increment, Increment III. The downtown DRI, we have
found, has been the single greatest tool that downtown has to attract development - that the DDA has to attract
