limitations upon development projects that commenced within and/or which are
credited to Increments I and II of the DDRI.
b. On February 17, 2015, the DDA and the DEO entered into an Agreement
Authorizing Interim Development for the Downtown Miami Development of
Regional Impact Increment III pursuant to Section 380.032, Florida Statutes
("Agreement"), which authorized commencement of interim development
pursuant to this Increment III in advance of issuance of this final development
order. Such development under Increment III and pursuant to this development
order has commenced. It is understood that any development that has
commenced under this Increment III was required to pay all credits applicable to
the development of the Project as if it was to be developed under Increment II of
the DDRI and all applicable ordinances and statutory requirements. Further, said
development was obligated and recognizes that Increment III, when authorized
as provided by law, may contain different coefficients or other calculation
methodology that could cause fees for credits under Increment III to be
substantially changed from those of Increment II. Any development that
commenced prior to the adoption of Increment III is also obligated to pay any
additional fees applicable to the development of the project pursuant to
Increment III within thirty (30) days of the final approval and expiration of all
appeal periods for the approval of the Increment III development order and, in all
events, prior to the issuance of a certificate of use and/or occupancy for
development of any project that does not qualify for Increment II credits.
4. Monitor the capacity of Total Allowable Development by reserving the amount of
Development Credits necessary for Net New Development at a time, to be determined
by the City, prior to or coincident with approval of a building permit or other appropriate
City approvals. The City shall place reasonable time limits on all building permits to
assure that construction progresses within a reasonable period of time after approval to
prevent stockpiling of reservations for Development Credits. The time period established
by the City shall take into account the size of the proposed Net New Development in
relationship to the time necessary to begin construction.
5. The buildout date for authorizing development through the issuance of building and other
permits shall be September 1, 2025. September 1, 2025 is hereby established as the
expiration/termination date for the development order. Upon the occurrence of the
expiration/termination date, the City DDRI Master development order and all incremental
development orders shall be expired, terminated, and of no further force and effect. The
buildout and expiration/termination dates may only be modified in accordance with
Section 380.06(19), Florida Statutes.
6. Establish September 1, 2025 as the date until which the City agrees that the Increment
III DRI shall not be subject to downzoning, unit density reduction, or intensity reduction,
unless the City can demonstrate that substantial changes in the conditions underlying
the approval of the development order have occurred; that the development order was
based on substantially inaccurate information provided by the Applicant; or that the
change is clearly essential to the public health, safety, or welfare.
7. The City Manager, by and through his/her designees, is hereby designated to monitor
compliance with all conditions and the enforcement of this development order and shall
have the duty and authority to interpret the provisions of this development order and to
promulgate rulings, regulations, and procedures necessary to implement it, provided the
City of Miami Page 4 of 16 File ID: 1220 (Revision: B) Printed on: 9/10/2018
File ID: 1220
Enactment Number: 13704
same are not inconsistent with the terms hereof or of Section 380.06, Florida Statutes, or
duly promulgated and adopted rules thereunder. Appeals to decisions of the City
Manager may be filed pursuant to procedures set forth in the City Code and land
development regulations, as amended. Any noncompliance shall be subject to the
provisions of Condition 8 as stated herein.
8. The City shall not violate any of the conditions of this development order or otherwise fail
to act substantially in compliance with this development order or permit any property
owner within the boundaries covered by this development order to violate any of the
provisions of this development order. In the event any entity controlled by the Applicant,
the City, any permittee, or landowner of any Parcel of Land violates ("Violator") the
provisions of this development order, the City shall stay the effectiveness of this
development order as to the parcel or tract of land in which the violative activity or
conduct has occurred and withhold further permits, approvals, and services for
development in said Parcel of Land upon passage of any appropriate resolution by the
City Commission, adopted in accordance with this Section, finding that such violation
has occurred. The Violator will be given written notice by the City that states 1) the
nature of the purported violation and 2) that unless the violation is cured within thirty (30)
days of said notice, the City will hold a public hearing to consider the matter within sixty
(60) days of the date of said notice. In the event the violation is not cured in thirty (30)
days, the Violator's diligent good faith efforts, as determined by the City, to cure the
violation within that period will obviate the need to hold a public hearing and this
development order will remain in full force and effect unless the Violator does not
diligently pursue the curative action to completion within a reasonable time, in which
event the City will give fifteen (15) days' notice to the Violator of its intention to stay the
effectiveness of this development order and withhold further permits, approvals, and
services to the Parcel of Land in which the violation has occurred and until the violation
is cured. The terms of this paragraph may be modified from time to time by written
agreement by the DDA, the City, and SFRC staff to enable the City to enforce the terms
of this development order to the fullest extent, while providing due process to all
developers under this development order.
9. The City, along with the DDA, shall integrate all original and supplemental ADA
information into a Consolidated Application for Development Approval ("CADA") and
submit two (2) copies of the CADA to the SFRC, one (1) copy to the City Clerk, one (1)
copy to the Florida Department of Transportation, and (1) one copy to the DEO within
thirty (30) days of the effective date of this development order. The CADA shall be
prepared as follows:
a. Where new, clarified, or revised information was prepared subsequent to
submittal of the ADA but prior to issuance of this development order, whether in
response to a formal statement of information needed or otherwise, the original
pages of the ADA will be replaced with revised pages.
b. Revised pages will have a "Page Number (R) - Date" notation, with "Page
Number" being the number of the original page, "(R)" indicating that the page
was revised, and "Date" stating the date of the revision.
The CADA is incorporated herein by reference and will be relied upon by the
parties in discharging its statutory duties under Section 380.06, Florida Statutes
(2016), and local ordinances. Substantial compliance with the factual
representations contained in the CADA is a condition for approval unless, for

File ID: 1220
Enactment Number: 13704
good cause, waived or modified by agreement among the SFRC, the City, and
the DDA, their successors, and/or assigns.
All terms, proposals, suggestions, and procedures proposed in the ADA, but not
specifically incorporated in this development order, shall not be considered a part
of the CADA insofar as they may have been deemed to place a requirement on
the City to take any action or abstain from taking any action. The terms of this
development order shall control and any requirements to the City are specifically
enumerated herein.
10. The City shall prepare an Annual Report and submit copies to the SFRC, the City Clerk,
and the DEO/State Land Planning Agency on or before each anniversary date of this
development order. The Annual Report for Downtown Miami Increment III must also be

INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES
14. a. Based upon the transit impacts directly related to and generated by the
Total Allowable Development for Increment III, pay, contract, or otherwise
commit to and pay or cause the payment of a total of $6,005,829.00 (2016
dollars) to the County to be expended on some or all of the following transit
projects as shown on the Transit Improvement Chart provided as Exhibit "C"
("Transit Commitment"), as follows:
1) Government Center Station Upgrade
2) Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre Station Upgrade
3) Brickell Metrorail/Metromover Station Upgrade
4) Downtown Intermodal Bus Terminal
5) Bus -Only Lanes in Downtown Miami
Alternative projects may be added or substituted to this list, subject to the
agreement of the City and the County.
The City shall collect the Transit Commitment proportionally from
development within the DDRI boundaries and pay, contract, or otherwise
City of Miami Page 8 of 16 File ID: 1220 (Revision: B) Printed on: 9/10/2018
File ID: 1220
Enactment Number: 13704
commit or cause to pay to the County $1,981,923.57 within sixty (60) days
from the date of issuance of building permits that would result in the
construction of more than thirty-three (33) percent of the Total Allowable
Development, an additional $1,981,923.57 within sixty (60) days from the
date of issuance of building permits that would result in the construction of
more than sixty-six (66) percent of the Total Allowable Development, and an
additional $2,041,981.86 within sixty (60) days from the date of issuance of
the building permits that would result in the construction of more than o n e
h u n d re d (1 00) percent of the Total Allowable Development. Any payment
of fees to the County in satisfaction of this condition shall be reported to the
SFRC within one (1) year of the receipt of such payment by the County.
The foregoing Transit Commitment is made in recognition that a portion of the
development pursuant to this Increment III is exempt from the requirement to
pay County Road Impact fees pursuant to Section 33E-14 of the County Code.
To the extent that a portion of the development authorized pursuant to
Increment III is required to pay County Road Impact Fees, such development
shall not be responsible for the payment of its portion of the Transit
Commitment in addition to the payment of County Road Impact Fees, unless
the County:
a. provides for a credit or contribution in lieu of impact fee or other similar
mechanism in satisfaction of and consistent with Section
380.06(16)(a), Florida Statutes;
b. approves a reduction of the County Road Impact fee affecting
development within the boundaries of the DDRI through a Fee
Computation by Independent Study or other mechanism available
under the County Code, which acknowledges the pedestrian and
transit mode splits (total of approximately 29%) established within the
DDRI transportation analysis; or
C. with the written agreement of the City, enters into an agreement with
individual DDRI developers where they independently enhance the
Downtown transit, transportation, or road infrastructure and be credited
for the cost of their improvements against County Road Impact Fees
otherwise incurred instead of the Transit Commitment.
Absent such foregoing action by the County, as an alternative to payment of the
Transit Commitment after the imposition of the County Road Impact Fee, the
City's Planning Department, with the input from the County, may prepare a
master plan of infrastructure enhancements within the DDRI Boundaries that
would provide road, transit, or other capacity improvements benefiting the DDRI
transportation network, that qualify for contribution in lieu credit for County Road
Impact Fees. The City shall then establish a trust fund using the DDRI
transportation fees collected after the imposition of County Road Impact fees
with the understanding that said enhancements could be performed and
contributions made to the fund by developers who would then have their
contributions credited against County Road Impact Fee assessments.
b. Based upon the roadway impacts generated by Total Allowable Development
for Increment III, pay or contract to pay $374,206.08 (proportionate share in
City of Miami Page 9 of 16 File ID: 1220 (Revision: B) Printed on: 9/10/2018
File ID: 1220
Enactment Number: 13704
2016 dollars) to be expended on transportation improvements, including but not
limited to pedestrian and alternative transportation mode improvements within
the DDRI Boundaries, and the turn lanes described in condition 14c, below, at
the City's discretion. The Applicant shall pay or contract to pay $123,488.01
within sixty (60) days from the date of issuance of building permits that would
result in the construction of more than thirty-three (33) percent of the Total
Allowable Development, an additional $123,488.01 within sixty (60) days from
the date of issuance of building permits that would result in the construction of
more than sixty-six (66) percent of the Total Allowable Development, and an
additional $127,230.01 within sixty (60) days from the date of issuance of
building permits that would result in the construction of more than one hundred
(100) percent of the Total Allowable Development.
c. Pay, contract, or otherwise commit to and pay or cause the payment of a total
of $1,180, 030.00 (2016 dollars) to the South Florida Regional Transportation
Authority ("SFRTA") to be expended on the Tri -Rail Downtown Miami Link
("Tri -Rail Commitment") in accordance with the First Amendment to the
Interlocal Agency Agreement approved pursuant to Resolution No. R-16-0218
on May 12, 2016. The City shall collect the Transit Commitment
proportionally from development within the DDRI boundaries and pay,
contract, or otherwise commit or cause to pay to SFRTA those amounts
identified in the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agency Agreement. Any
payment of fees to the SFRTA in satisfaction of this condition shall be reported
to the SFRC within one (1) year of the receipt of such payment by the SFRTA.
d. Prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate
of occupancy for the vertical construction within contiguous properties, where
feasible, construct or cause the construction of a northbound right -turn at the
intersection of NE 2 Avenue at NE 15 Street, provided adequate right of way
can be made available, and a northbound right -turn at the intersection of NE 2
Avenue at NE 18 Street, provided adequate right of way can be made available.
15. Implement Transportation Demand Management ("TDM") strategies and coordinate with
the County's Department of Transportation and Public Works and other local agencies
and authorities such as the Miami Parking Authority to encourage, explore, and expand
transit and commuter options within the DDRI Boundaries, including trolley and
alternative commuter options, including:

23. Utilize economic development enhancement resource agencies and programs designed
to involve small and minority businesses in the development and expansion of
permanent job opportunities within the project. Examples of such agencies and
programs include, but are not limited to, those contained in the Miami Dade County
Internal Services Department Small Business Development List of Certified Firms and
the South Florida Small and Minority Business Resource Directory. The applicant will
attempt to access the range of job skills available in the region and promote greater
labor force enhancement. At a minimum, the applicant is encouraged to provide potential
commercial tenants with information about employment and training agencies that
maintain a database of trained/skilled workers to consider in meeting the project's
employment needs. This information shall be annually updated and submitted as part of
the Annual Status Report.
24. The City shall establish ordinances, programs, or other mechanisms that require that
housing available for purchase or rental by extremely low (up to 30% Area Median
Income or AMI), very -low (up to 50% of AMI), low (up to 80% of AMI), moderate (up to
120% of AMI), and workforce (up to 140% of AMI) populations (as such terms are
defined in Section 420.9071, Florida Statutes; Sections 17-131 and 33-193.6 of the
County Code; and Section 13-5 of the City Code) be constructed or caused to be
constructed in an amount equal to no less than 2,700 dwelling units or fifteen percent
(15%) of the residential units proposed within the DDRI Increment III within an area of a
ten (10) mile or a twenty (20) minute commute shed from and within the DDRI
Boundaries, whichever is less, but in all events, within the jurisdiction of the City (Exhibit
"D"; Housing Commute Shed). Provided, however, in order to encourage the
development of housing for very -low, low, moderate, and workforce populations within
the DDRI Boundaries, any units constructed within such boundaries shall be counted at
a ratio of 1.5:1. Units constructed in satisfaction of the SEOPW DRI affordable housing
condition shall not be counted toward satisfying this condition.
All housing units for extremely low, very -low, low, moderate, and workforce populations
constructed and conveyed pursuant to this condition shall limit resale to a price in
accordance with the affordable or workforce price for a control period of twenty (20)
years or more by providing an appropriately enforceable assurance that said unit shall
not be offered for a price greater than the maximum workforce housing unit sales price
as such is established by the County's Department of Regulatory and Economic
Resources at the time of said sale. If the units are sold during the initial twenty (20) year
control period, a new twenty (20) year period for affordable or workforce housing will
apply to the new owners. Said binding and enforceable agreement may be, but is not
limited to, a Development Agreement, Land Use Restriction Agreement, Declaration of
Restrictive Covenants, or, if a Community Land Trust, with a Memorandum of Ground
Lease, recorded in the public records of the County.
All rental housing for extremely low, very -low, low, moderate, and workforce populations
provided in satisfaction of this condition shall be maintained by the owner as affordable
for low, moderate, and/or workforce incomes for a period of twenty (20) years. If the
units are sold during the initial twenty (20) year period, a new twenty (20) year period will
apply.
In lieu of actually providing said housing units for extremely low, very -low, low,
moderate, and workforce populations, in whole or in part, the City may establish an
affordable/workforce housing trust fund to be used to fund construction of or access to
affordable or workforce units and authorize a payment in lieu of actually providing the
City of Miami Page 12 of 16 File ID: 1220 (Revision: B) Printed on: 9/10/2018
File ID: 1220
Enactment Number: 13704
housing units for very -low, low, moderate, and workforce populations. The payment in
lieu shall be based on a reasonable formula for the purchase/construction each unit.
The applicant will work with SFRC staff to explore creative affordable/workforce housing
solutions including micro -units, co -living, reduced parking requirements, mixed -income
housing, "rent to buy" programs, and rehabilitation of existing housing units and to
ensure a balanced distribution of housing based on income levels.
25. Withhold the issuance of any building permits, including phased permits, that would not
ensure the preservation of historic and archeological resources that have been formally
designated as historic by the City pursuant to Section 23-4 of the City Code. Continue to
explore the designation of additional qualified sites within the DDRI Boundaries.

27. Within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this development order, a notice of
adoption of this development order it shall be recorded with the Clerk of Courts pursuant

property covered by this development order (Exhibit "E") and shall state which unit of
local government adopted the development order, the date of adoption, the date of
adoption of any amendments to the development order, the location where the adopted
order with any amendments may be examined, and that the development order
constitutes a land development regulation applicable to the property. The recording of
this notice shall not constitute a lien, cloud, or encumbrance on real property, or actual
or constructive notice of any such lien, cloud, or encumbrance.
28. The existence of this development order shall not act to limit or proscribe the rights of
any person under Section 380.06, Florida Statutes, to file an ADA and obtain an
individual development order for property covered by this development order,
notwithstanding the existence of this development order. In the event that such an
individual development order is approved and becomes effective, the individual
development order shall control development of the property covered by the individual
development order and the terms and conditions of this development order shall no
longer be binding upon the property. Any such individual development orders shall by
their terms be consistent with the objectives and conditions of this development order.
29. This development order shall not repeal, nor amend in any way, any other currently
effective development order or building permit within the subject area previously issued
by the City Commission pursuant to Section 380.06, Florida Statutes. This development
order shall not create nor authorize the creation or imposition of any additional
requirements or restrictions with respect to any present or future development under any
currently effective development order or building permit issued prior hereto.
Notwithstanding this paragraph, the City shall continue to have whatever authority
pursuant to law it may now have or may acquire in the future other than by virtue of this
development order.

30. This development order shall not create nor impose any additional requirements or
restrictions upon the City with respect to its powers to enact impact fee or assessment
ordinances on development, including Net New Development under this development
order and future development of the City, as such impact fees or assessments may be
authorized by law.
31. In the event that a substantial deviation is determined under the terms of this
development order or Section 380.06, Florida Statutes, the City shall retain its ability to
issue building permits and shall continue to do so unabated, subject to the terms and
conditions of this development order.
32. In the event that this development order is subject to litigation wherein an injunction is
issued staying the enforcement of this development order, the City shall either, under
this development order or under the powers granted it by State law, be permitted to
continue to issue building permits and certificates of occupancy until such time as a final
resolution of the litigation occurs, unless the court expressly prohibits such action.
Section 3. The following findings of fact are hereby confirmed and adopted with
respect to the DDRI Increment III:
1. The findings and determinations of fact set forth in the recitals of this Ordinance adopting
this development order are hereby confirmed.
2. The real property which is the subject of this development order is legally described in
Exhibit "E" of this Ordinance.
3. The City filed the ADA with the City, the SFRC, and the DEO.
4. The ADA has been filed by the DDA pursuant to Section 380.06(22), Florida Statutes,
authorizing the DDA to apply for development approval and receive a development order
for any or all of the area within its jurisdiction. Individual developments are not identified
or required to be identified in the CADA.
5. The purpose of the CADA is to identify and assess probable regional impacts and to
obtain approval for Total Allowable Development in accordance with the general
guidelines set forth in this development order and the CADA. The concept is to
recognize the DDRI Boundaries as a single area of high intensity development and to
focus the DRI review process primarily on the impacts that Total Allowable Development
within the area will have on land, water, transportation, environmental, community
services, energy, and other resources and systems of regional significance. The CADA
seeks a single DRI review process for overall phased development of the DDRI
Boundaries rather than requiring each individual DRI scale development within the
Downtown area to file for separate DRI reviews.
6. Development within the DDRI Boundaries is expected to continue to be accomplished
over an extended period of time by a variety of developers, which may include the City
and other governmental entities. These developers may respond to market demand and
technologies that can only be estimated in the CADA. The CADA and the development
order are intended to serve as flexible guides for planned development of the DDRI
Boundaries rather than a precise blueprint for its development. Therefore, pursuant to
Section 380.06(21)(b), Florida Statutes, as amended, the CADA seeks master
development approval for three (3) increments of development over time as set forth in
City of Miami Page 14 of 16 File ID: 1220 (Revision: B) Printed on: 9/10/2018
File ID: 1220
Enactment Number: 13704
Section 2 and specific development approval for Increment III, which is the third phase of
development projected for a period ending in 2025. Subsequent incremental applications
will need to be adjusted to more nearly serve as a living guide recognizing the evolution
of market demand and technologies.
7. The DDRI Boundaries contains a total of approximately 1.7 square miles. The CADA
proposes Net New Development within the Project Area for the land uses, quantities,
and phases defined herein as Total Allowable Development.
8. The DDRI is not located in an area of critical state concern as designated pursuant to
Section 380.06, Florida Statutes, as amended.
9. A comprehensive review of the probable impacts that will be generated by the DDRI has
been conducted by various City departments and state and regional agencies, as
reflected in the CADA, and the SFRC staff.
10. This development order is consistent with the report and recommendations of the SFRC,
entitled "Downtown Miami DRI Increment III Regional Impact Report", dated June 6,
2016. The SFRC recommends approval of the DDRI and all conditions to which such
approval is subject are reflected herein.
11. The DDRI is consistent with the State comprehensive plan pursuant to Section 187.201,
Florida Statues.
12. The DDRI is consistent with the adopted Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan.
13. The DDRI as originally approved is in accord with the district zoning classifications of
Zoning Ordinance 9500, as amended. Increment III of the DDRI, as amended, will be
consistent with the Miami 21 Code, the comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City and
other applicable City land development regulations.
14. The DDRI will have a favorable impact on the economy of the City.
15. The DDRI will efficiently use public transportation facilities.
16. The DDRI will favorably affect the need for people to find adequate housing reasonably
accessible to their places of employment.
17. The DDRI will efficiently use necessary public facilities.
18. The DDRI will include adequate mitigation measures to assure that it will not adversely
affect the environment and natural resources of the City.
19. The DDRI will not adversely affect living conditions in the City.
20. The DDRI will not adversely affect public safety.
21. There is a public need for the Project.
Section 4. Having made the findings of fact contained above, the City Commission
hereby concludes as a matter of law, the following:
