MIAMI 21 APPENDIX F: MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT RETAIL STREET SAP DRAFT — NOVEMBER 2014 ARTICLE 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS 2.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT 2.1.1 INTENT The intent of the Miami Design District Retail Street Special Area Plan (SAP) is to guide the design, construction and management of a new retail pedestrian street and its surrounding city streets in the Design District to ensure a high quality, mixed use, pedestrian experience. The control of Building location, massing, and surface is intended to produce public space that is safe, comfortable and interesting for pedestrians and attractive to high-end retail tenants. Pedestrian mobility is to be improved by an enhanced Public Right -of -Way Streetscape and by the addition of a four block long Pedestrian Passage. The public space of the Pedestrian Passage is of a scale that is intimate and episodic. The quantity and materials of shared elements in the public spaces, such as pavement, signs and lighting are intended to be minimized and recessive, as the primary experience should be that of the highly individualistic retail stores. The Building Facade lines of the Miami Design District Retail Street SAP are drawn to support the continuity of the existing Design District street wall, to form the sequential character of the pedestrian street experience, and to give store tenants appropriate space distribution and visibility. This document precedes the final development program, architectural design and detailing, and infrastructure engineering, and it is expected that adjustments to the development program, architectural design and detailing, infrastructure engineering may be necessary during implementation phases of design development and construction documents. Nothing in this Miami Design District Retail Street SAP, including the initial development program as set forth on Page A1.98 of the Concept Book, shall be construed to limit development in excess of the initial development program. Any future development in excess of the initial development program shall be subject at all times to the maximum density and intensity permitted by the underlying transect designation of any one Lot or parcel forming part of this SAP and the procedures set forth in Article 7 of this Miami Design District Retail Street SAP, including the approval of substantial modifications to the development program by process of Exception. The SAP is based on the Miami 21 Zoning Code, as amended through April 2012, and shall serve to supplement the code. Where standards set forth herein conflict with standards set forth in the code, the standards in this SAP shall govern. Where the standards in the SAP are silent, the underlying Miami 21 zoning code requirements shall govern. By virtue of the adoption of the Miami Design District Retail Street SAP, and any subsequent amendments thereto, all provisions of the Miami 21 Zoning Code requiring enactment or authorization by Special Area Plan pursuant to and identified in Section 3.9, unless modified in the SAP, shall be deemed duly enacted or authorized. The Miami Design District Retail Street SAP shall not constitute a precedent for the balance of the City of Miami. The alternate standards of this SAP should be considered unique with regard to the large aggregation of property under multiple ownership committed to an integrated development plan, as well as its unified design and management that will enable and ensure a coherent, high quality, and sustainable result.

Lighted Signs on unlit Buildings are un -acceptable. The objective is a visual lighting emphasis on the Building with the lighted Sign as subordinate. 4.
