Tract D is a real property owned by City of Miami, identified with the Folio No.: 0132310610040, and assigned with the address commonly known as 980 MacArthur Causeway. (Complete legal description is on file at the Hearing Boards Office). The subject property is an irregular tract of land of approximately 231,368 sq.ft or 5.31 acres' which is part of a bigger one identified as Tract "D" of Watson Island, as depicted in the following image: Watson Island Portion of Tract D (5.31 ± acres) Existing Proposed FLUM designation Public Parks and Recreation Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities 1 Information contained in Survey provided Assets Management of City of Miami, attached hereto for reference.

City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department Division of Land Development BACKGROUND Watson Island is an entirely man-made spoil island created of dredge material from government cut; located in Biscayne Bay, Watson Island comprises approximately 86 acres in area of which approximately 60 acres are designated "Public Parks and Recreation". Watson Island is designated "Public Parks and Recreation", except for a small northwest portion located south of the causeway, which had "Restricted Commercial" and Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities" Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designations, where the Island Garden project has been proposed. (See graphics attached) Watson Island has been the subject of different planning instruments over time. The current planning instrument is the "Watson Island Policy Plan" (1996) which states that "...Any activities and services, described in the plan, must be comfortably accommodated within the land use map designations currently in place on Watson Island..." "All future development must be consistent with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan under the categories of recreation and restricted commercial Designation S112 Per the Watson Island Policy Plan: "Watson Island was originally deeded to the City of Miami by the State of Florida in 1919. The island has remained largely undeveloped for seventy years, serving primarily as open recreational space and a transportation terminal for seaplanes, helicopters, and an airship (until 1980). Additionally the island serves as home to a number of activities which serve to enhance the quality of life in the region, including a public marina and service facility, two boat clubs, a public Japanese garden, recreational fields, a small heliport, and a seaplane terminal. The future of the island will see the enhancement and addition of public facilities within the areas outlined in this policy plan and consistent with the Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan." The evolution of Watson Island has been consistent with the current plan in place. At this time it is necessary to rebuild the heliport and seaplane facilities deemed as pre-existing 2 Watson Island Policy Plan 1996, "Interpretation of the Plan and Policy Land", approved by City Commission on 1/25/96. Reso: 96-80 15-006721 u Page 2 of 8 City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department Division of Land Development services on the island, with vested rights under Subsection 380.06(2), F.S, and this request for a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment is meant to accommodate them within the appropriate FLUM designation. In 1997 an Interlocal Agreement was reached between the City of Miami and the Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority, leasing to the Authority the subject portion of land in Watson Island, for the purpose of establishing a seaplane and helicopter facility. In 2002 the City and the Authority issued a Request for Proposal for operators for the Watson Island Aviation and Visitors Center, also known as the Watson Island Air Transportation Facility. Following the RFP process Linden Airport Services Corporation was selected as a tenant. In 2005, pursuant to Resolution No. 05-458, the City Commission authorized a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) No.2 between the City and FDOT in the amount of one million dollars ($ 1,000,000) for the development of the heliport and the seaplane base. In 2007 the City Manager was authorized to allocate the matching funds in the amount of one million dollars ($ 1,000,000) for the previously approved JPA No.2. In 2010 the City obtained approval of the Airport Layout Plan and Narrative Report of the Watson Island Air Transportation Facility from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), subject to certain conditions which the tenant must comply. Table 1 show the FLUM amendments and rezoning that have taken place on Watson Island over time to make feasible the activities as planned, and as the same time make them comply with the applicable Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) and the zoning code. 15-006721 u Page 3 of 8 City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department Division of Land Development Table 1: FLUM amendments and rezoning on Watson Island Table 1 Notes: FLUM classification Rest.

Lands under this designation with specific qualities that make them desirable for commercial photography shall be allowed to be used in this manner conditionally, and only when it is determined that conducting such commercial photography will not endanger significant environmental features within the area. [Added 3/23/99 by Ordinance 11782.]"3 Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities: Areas designated as "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities" allow facilities for federal, state and local government activities, major public or private health, recreational, cultural, religious or educational activities, and major transportation facilities and public utilities. Residential facilities ancillary to these uses are allowed up to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential" or if applicable the least intense abutting/adjacent residential zoning district, subject to the same limiting conditions. Areas designated as "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities allow nonresidential uses to a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 6.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. Properties designated "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities" in the Health / Civic Center District allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 8.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. Properties designated "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities" in the Urban Central Business District allow a maximum FLR of 37.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. 114 ANALYSIS The MCNP 2020 Future Land Use Map designation of "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities" category allows "Civic Institutional" Transect Zone uses. These Civic Institutional uses are considered appropriate and consistent with this underlying land use. 3 Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. Goals Objectives Policies. July 2013. "Public Parks and Recreation" 4 Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. Goals Objectives Policies. July 2013. "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities" 15-006721 u Page 5 of 8 City of Miami (o.„„.„,.j Planning and Zoning Department Division of Land Development Criteria Goal LU -1 states that the City will maintain a land use pattern that (1) protects and enhances the quality of life in the City's neighborhoods; (2) fosters redevelopment and revitalization of blighted or declining areas; (3) promotes and facilitates economic development and the growth of job opportunities in the city; (4) fosters the growth and development of downtown as a regional center of domestic and international commerce, culture and entertainment; (5) promotes the efficient use of land and minimizes land use conflicts while protecting and preserving residential sections within neighborhoods; (6) protects and conserves the city's significant natural and coastal resources; and (7) protects the integrity and quality of the City's existing neighborhoods by insuring public notice, input and appellant rights regarding changes in existing zoning and land use regulations. Analysis The proposed designation to the "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities” land use is consistent with the character of the island. Aircraft uses have been historically associated with Watson Island. The proposed designation will facilitate the operation of the heliport, thereby promoting economic development and the efficient use of land. Finding Staff finds the request consistent with Goal LU -1 Criteria Goal PR -2: Preserve and enhance existing parks and recreation facilities. Objective PR -2.1: Protect existing park land. Policy PR -2.1.1: The City has a no -net -loss policy for public park land and will adopt procedures to this effect for park land in the City Zoning Ordinances, as described in the 2007 Parks and Public Spaces Master Plan. These will allow only recreation and cultural facilities to be built on park land, will limit building footprint on any such land, will require that conversion of park land for any other purposes be subject to public procedures, and replace the converted park land with land similar in park, recreation or conservation value in terms of usefulness and location. Analysis In order to comply with the restriction imposed by this policy, the city is submitting companion items (File ID #: 15-00672lu1, 15-00672zc1, and 15-00672zc), which proposes the designation of certain lands laying within the City's municipal boundaries that are currently not designated on the City's future land use map. These lands are further described below, and will have a FLUM designation of Public Parks and Recreation, as well as Civic Space Zones (CS) zoning classification. With the approval of these companion items, the city not only will 15-006721 u Page 6 of 8 City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department Division of Land Development preserve the existing parks and recreation acreage inventory, but will increase this classification in approximately 3.38 ± acres. 15-006721u subject property: Portion of Tract "D" of Watson Island (5.31) ±acres 15-006721u1 subject property: North portion of Rickenbacker Cwy. + 8.69 ±acres FLUM designation From: I Undesignated area To: I "Public Parks and Recreation" Net increase of parks designated land For City of Miami = 3.38 ±acres Finding Staff finds the request consistent with Goal PR -2, Objective PR - 2.1, and Policy PR -2.1.1 Criteria Policy PR -3.2.10: The City shall continue to ensure that park and recreational lands open to the public are included in redevelopment projects for Watson Island and will monitor the project after construction to ensure continued public access without any requirements for the public to make purchases or any other barriers to open public use. Analysis The proposed improvement and updating of the existing seaplane base and heliport on the subject property, which has been present on Watson Island for over seven (7) decades. Finding Staff finds the request consistent with Policy PR -3.2.10 Criteria Policy PR -5.1.4: The City will continue to implement innovative management and maintenance alternatives designed to minimize operating and maintenance costs while not reducing the extent and quality of programs or adversely affecting the physical condition of park facilities. This will be done through establishment of core services according to level of benefit to the community, identifying costs and potential revenues, improving management accountability, establishing preventive maintenance and replacement programs, establishing formal policies and systems for working with groups that sponsor programs that use City facilities, and strengthening support services.

Finding Staff finds the request consistent with Policy PR -5.1.4 CONCLUSION The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment, as requested, is in compliance with the related Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) policies, goals, and objectives, specifically with the city "no -net -loss" policy. The herein proposed "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities" matches with the "Civic Institutional" (CI) Transect Zone proposed for the subject property in the companion item (File ID No. 15-00672zc) which has been determined as the appropriate zoning classification, for the location where the heliport and seaplane base uses are going to be placed as granted with vested rights under Subsection 380.06(2), of the Florida Statutes. RECOMMENDATION Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends APPROVAL of the amendment as presented.
