The city commission (hereinafter "commission") hereby finds and declares that:
(1) The real property which is the subject of this article, the project area, is legally
described in as set forth in exhibit Bof Qp,
A A p
1397 Exhibit E of Ordinance No.
XXXK
(2) The DDA has filed a CADA with the city, the South Florida Regional Planning Council,
and the state department of community affairs.
(3) The purpose of the CADA is to identify and assess regional impacts and to obtain
approval for total allowable development in accordance with the general guidelines set
forth in the development orders and the CADA. The city has recognized the project
area as a single area of high intensity development and focused on the impacts that
the total allowable development within the project area will have on land, water,
transportation, environmental, community services, energy and other resources and
systems of regional' significance. The CADA seeks a single state DRI review process
for overall phased development of the downtown area rather than requiring each
individual DRI scale development within the downtown area to be reviewed separately
other than for a major use special permit and as a means of accommodating the
impacts of the non -DRI scale cumulative growth on the downtown area.
(4) Development within the project area is expected to continue to be accomplished over
an extended period of time by a variety of developers, which may include the city.
These developers may respond to market demand and technologies that can only be
estimated in the CADA. The CADA and the DO are intended to serve as flexible guides
for planned development of the project area rather than a precise blueprint for its
development. Therefore, pursuant to F.S. § 380.060 22)(2004-�2017), the CADA
seeks master development approval for three increments of development over a period
of approximately 2&--38 years and specific development approval for increment 1, 1 Iand
Ill. and iRoreme . Subsequent incremental applications may need to be adjusted to
more nearly serve the evolution of market demand and technologies.
(5) The project area contains a total of approximately 943-927 acres, including
approximately 78 acres presently zoned and developed as city parks, The CADA has
proposed a quantity of net new development within the project area for the land uses
and phases defined herein as total allowable development.
(6) A comprehensive assessment of the probable impacts that will be generated by the
total allowable development has been conducted by various city departments, as
reflected in the CADA, and as reviewed by the South Florida Regional Planning
Council staff.
(7) The impacts found in the development order are consistent with the report and
recommendations of the South Florida Regional Planning Council, entitled
"Development of Regional Impact Assessment for Downtown Miami," dated October 5,
1987, a444 "Development of Regional Impact Assessment for Downtown Miami" dated
July 1, 2002—.and "Development of Regional Impact Report Downtown Miami
Increment III" dated June 2016.
(8) Net new development imposes demands upon public facilities and services benefiting
the region and requires additional regional infrastructure.
(9) To the extent that net new development places demands upon regional public facilities
and services, those demands should be satisfied by developments actually creating the
demands.
(10) The limiting factors determining the amount of potential development in the project
area are the effects of net new development on transportation facilities and air quality.
(11) The downtown DRI and the downtown master plan are of benefit to all net new
development in the project area and expenses incurred by the city and/or DDA in
connection with the preparation and adoption of the downtown DRI'/master plan, and
future related studies, and for the enforcement of the development orders should be
reimbursed to the city by the net new development benefiting therefrom.
(112) The total amount of the downtown development supplemental fee is determined by the
cost of the-fGu4-- three (3) components of the fee:
a. Transportation mitigation fee;
b. XF qHality49&,:
G-. b. Downtown DRI/master plan recovery fee; and
4-.-c. Administration fee.
The most appropriate measure to distribute the proportionate share of the cost of the
transportation mitigation fee aid the air quality fee shall be the average rate of
generation of p.m. peak hour external motor vehicle trips for net new development in
each land use category, as utilized in the CADA DRI/master plan recovery fees and
administration fees are most appropriately allocated to all net new development at an
equal rate for all land use categories.
(13) The downtown development supplemental fee is being imposed on all net new
development in order to pay the costs of certain development order related
requirements, as described above. Since the demand for such development order
related requirements are uniquely created by the new development, the downtown
development supplementary fee is equitable and does not impose an unfair burden on
such development is in the best interest of the city and its residents.
Section 3. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its adoption,
