Background Information:
From NE 1 Avenue to NE 2 Avenue
The segment of NE 9 Street between NE 1 Avenue and NE 2 Avenue has been approved for vacation
and closure by the City Commission as part of the Miami Worldeenter District. It is appropriate to delete
this segment of NE 9 Street from the list of nonstandard street widths.
From North Miami Avenue to NW 1 Avenue (East)
The segment of NW 9 Street between North Miami Avenue and NW 1 Avenue (east) was zoned 80 feet
wide, however, was developed as a divided roadway 100 feet in width. The abutting property owners
have dedicated the full 100 feet of width and it is now in order to re -zone the right of way width to 100
feet.
From NW 2 Avenue to Interstate 95
In 1985, the City Commission adopted the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan. That
plan designated NE/NW 9 Street between Biscayne Boulevard and I-95 as a wide "mall". The NW 9
Street right of way between NW 2 Avenue and Interstate 95 was zoned 80 feet wide to accommodate
future widening and development of the mall. Because dedication of the full right of way width had not
occurred, the Community Redevelopment Agency reconstructed the segment between NW 2 Avenue
and NW 3 Avenue with enhanced sidewalks and crosswalks and trees/tree grates within the original 50
foot wide right of way. Additionally, the "D.A. Dorsey House" located at 250 NW 9 Street and the
"Ward Rooming House" located at 249-255 NW 9 Street, directly across the street, have been
designated as Historic Sites by the City's Historical and Environmental Preservation Board. Both the
"D.A. Dorsey House" and the "Ward Rooming House" sites extend up to the original 50 wide right of
way line, thereby, precluding the widening of NW 9 Street to the full 80 foot width. Since NW 9 Street
between NW 2 Avenue and NW 3 Avenue has been enhanced within the original 50 foot wide right of
way and the "D.A.Dorsey House and "Ward Rooming House" preclude widening of NW 9 Street to the
full 80 foot width, a reduction of the zoned width of NW 9 Street between NW 2 Avenue and Interstate
95 back to the original 50 foot width is warranted.
The Public Works Department's review of this transportation corridor reveals that the current developed
roadway adequately serves the vehicular transportation and pedestrian needs of the public, permits the
continued protection of the historic sites and is compatible with new development in the area.
The Departments of Police, Fire -Rescue and Solid Waste have been notified of the proposed
modification of the zoned right of way width of this roadway.
