BACKGROUND INFORMATION
DT Miami, LLC intends to build the All Aboard Florida passenger railroad system providing service
between the City of Miami and Orlando, Florida. The southerly terminus of the proposed railroad is
located in downtown Miami on the former Florida East Coast Railway property bordered by NW 1
Street, NW 8 Street, NW 1 Avenue and the Metrorail. This property is within the Miami -Dade County
Downtown Intermodal Corridor Subzone where development is regulated pursuant to Chapter 33C of
the Miami -Dade County Code. A site plan for the terminal development has been approved by. Miami -
Dade County.
In order to provide continuity of the railroad line and connectivity between the proposed structures
within the southerly station complex, DT Miami, LLC desires to construct and maintain permanent All
Aboard Florida railroad terminal encroachments, including, but not limited to, elevated platforms, fitted
with trains and passenger waiting areas, over and across the City right -of ---ways known as NW 5 Street
and NW 6 Street between NW 1 Avenue and the Metrorail corridor. Section 33C -9(G)(3) of the Miami -
Dade County Code authorizes railroad encroachments covering 100% of the streets above the first floor.
Since the right-of-ways are under the jurisdiction of the City, DT Miami, LLC has requested a
permanent Aerial Easement from the City to construct and maintain the railroad terminal
encroachments.
The All Aboard Florida passenger railroad system is of regional importance that serves the tri -county
(Miami -Dade, Broward, Palm Beach County) area. In accordance with City Code Section 55-14(f), the
City Commission may waive the user fees required by City Code Section 55-14 for the railroad
components of the encroachments located over the public right of way. Components of the
encroachments not related to the railroad system shall be subject to user fees identified in the City Code.
