of a mall; and
WHEREAS, Northeast 9th Street between Northeast 1 st Avenue and Northeast 2nd Avenue is
closed and vacated and incorporated in the Miami Worldcenter District; and

was constructed with a 100 foot width and, accordingly, this Amendment will accurately depict the
existing measurement of the 100 foot width; and
WHEREAS, dedication of the full right-of-way has not occurred on Northwest 9th Street between
Northwest 2nd Avenue and Northwest 3rd Avenue and this segment was enhanced with decorative
sidewalks, crosswalks and trees within the original 50 foot wide right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the "D.A. Dorsey House" located at 250 Northwest 9th Street and the "Ward

WHEREAS, both the "D.A. Dorsey House" and the "Ward Rooming House" sites extend up to the
original 50 foot right-of-way line, thereby precluding the widening of Northwest 9th Street to the full 80

development now being realized in the area, a reduction in the zoned street width to the original
