24To: The Honorable Mayor Stoddard and Members of the City Commission Via: Hector Mirabile, Ph.D., City Mana e From: Thomas J. Vageline, Director Planning and Zoning Departme t Date: February 1, 2011 ITEM No. OAT PB -1.1 -001 Applicants: Carlisle Development Group, LLC City of South Miami Location: 5890 SW 69th Street An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida, relating to a request to amend the official zoning map of the City of South Miami Land Development Code by changing the zoning use district from "TODD (LI -4) "Transit Oriented Development District (Light Industrial -4) to "TODD (MU -5) "Transit Oriented Development District (Mixed Use -5) for the property located at 5890 SW 69th Street (Folio No. 09- 4025- 028 -2070) also known as the Vehicle Inspection Station site; the purpose of the zone change is to allow construction of a new eight (8) story residential building with ninety (90) dwelling units; providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date. REQUEST The subject rezoning request is a joint application submitted by the Carlisle Development Group LLC in cooperation with and with the approval of the City Administration and the City Commission. The property involved is a the City owned site known informally as the former vehicle inspection station site. The Carlisle Group is seeking to change the zoning use district from "TODD (LI -4) "Transit Oriented Development District (Light Industrial -4) to "TODD (MU -5) "Transit Oriented Development District (Mixed Use -5). The purpose of the request is to allow future development of the site as a residential multi - family building specifically targeted as an affordable housing project. The TODD (LI -4) existing zoning district permits residential development, however, buildings are limited to a maximum two story height. The TODD (MU- 5) zoning district also permits residential development and the maximum height limitation is four stories, however, with bonuses buildings can be eight stories in height. Rezoning Application 5890 SW 69 Street. February 1, 2011 Page 2 of 6 RECENT HISTORY OF THE SITE The site is 31,050 sq. ft. (0.71 acres) and consists of nine rectangular lots of which three lots face SW 69`h Street and six lots face SW 70`h Street. The property is accessible from both streets. The site is currently unused and is vacant except for a small building once used as part of the State of Florida inspection station program. During the period 1993 to 2001 the property was leased to the State for use as an automobile inspection station and in 2002 -2004 it was leased to a company using the site as an automobile towing /storage lot. During the past five years there have been several proposals for using the property including selling or leasing it for development, and creating a municipal parking lot. The most recent proposal in 2010 was for the site to be used as a community garden. AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROPOSAL The City was approached by the Carlisle Group in early December, 2010 with a proposal to construct 90 units of affordable multi - family housing on the vehicle inspection site. It was their recommendation that this was an excellent site for a project of this type. In addition a developer could receive government financial incentives to build at this location. The program involved is the awarding by the State of Florida of federal income tax credits to affordable housing projects. The sale /transfer of these tax credits can bring in expanded investment in the development and allow for quality development of affordable housing units. The award criteria of the low- income housing tax credit (LIHTC) in this year is to emphasize locations near rapid transit stations and other public service facilities. A number of sites in the City's TODD zoning district are being considered by developers of affordable housing projects because of the low- income housing tax credit program. The application to the State for the tax credit must show that proper zoning is in place and that a site plan for the project has been approved by the local government. The deadline for submission was the end of 2010, however, it has been extended several times. JOINT APPLICATION SUBMISSION In order to make this site eligible for an affordable housing development with the use of low - income tax credits and in recognition of the State imposed deadlines the City Administration accepted the Carlisle Group's proposal to initiate a rezoning application on the property. The company offered to pay the rezoning application fee and submit plans for a potential development. The company was authorized to file the application via a communication from the City Manager dated November 22, 2010 (see attached). The Land Development Code permits the City Administration to initiate a rezoning application (LDC Section 20 -5.7 (B). In addition, the City Commission at its January 4, 2011 confirmed the City Manager's action to file the rezoning application. The Carlisle Group was advised that if the rezoning is approved a separate procedure will be followed by the City to select a developer, transfer, sell or lease the site to that developer and to enter into a binding agreement with the selected developer. The Carlisle Group confirmed this understanding in a letter to the Planning and Zoning Director dated January 6, 2011 (see attached). Rezoning Application 5890 SW 69 Street.

Attached as Exhibit "A" the Project Data page which is Page A -0.00 in the site plan document. The following are highlights of the proposed building: (1) The residential building will include 90 dwelling units and 2,350 square feet of retail use at the ground floor. The site is 31,050 square feet or 0 .71 acres. This is an equivalent density of 127 units per acre. The TODD zoning district does not have a maximum limit on density (FAR) or units per acre. Recent new residential development on the area: 103 units per acre (Valencia) and 58 units per acre (Red Road Commons). It is important to note that one of the stated objectives in the TODD zoning district (LDC Sec. 20 -8.1) is to encourage "high density" uses. (2) The proposed building will be 100 feet tall and includes a subterranean parking level and two parking levels and eight stories (ground floor with an arcade and seven residential floors). The TODD zoning district allows as a matter of right four floors and additional bonus floors up to eight stories or a maximum 100 feet in height). The additional floors are awarded as bonus floors (LDC Section 20 -8.10) in which a development project is allowed one additional floor of residential for each residential floor provided in the first four stories. This bonus is allowed provided that the required parking for each unit (two spaces) is provided. (3) The project as designed is providing the required parking spaces on site internal to the building. A total of 188 spaces are required and are provided (90 units x 2 spaces = 180 spaces plus eight spaces for the retail area). (4) The project as designed complies with all of the required setbacks, dwelling unit size, parking space requirement, uses allowed and building height all as set forth in the TODD zoning district. COMPATIBILITY Compatibility of Use: The property although surrounded by industrial and institutional uses is a compatible site for residential uses. The site abuts a rapid transit station and a post office. It is Rezoning Application 5890 SW 69 Street. February 1, 2011 Page 4 of 6 within an easy walking distance of a community center, a senior citizen center, a library and an urban downtown. The property also is located less than a block away from existing high density residential developments The existing future land use map category (TODD) and the underlying zoning district both allow for residential, commercial and light industrial uses at a very high density. The use of the City owned site for affordable housing is compatible with the surrounding uses. Public Facilities: The selected developer for the project will be responsible for assuring that public infrastructure serving the site will be sufficient. For purposes of this report, presented below is a summary of public facility issues: Parks / Recreation Concurrenev The selected developer will be required to provide a concurrency fee to the City for the impact on park and recreational acreage. Based upon the City's current Level of Service standard (four acres forever 1000 population) a residential development the size of this project would be assessed a fee equal to the purchase of a one acre tract of land in South Miami (LDC Sec.20- 4.1(D). It is important to note that the LDC also allows the City to consider allocating surplus recreational capacity to a developer of affordable housing. The City currently has surplus recreational capacity (acreage). A developer would have to obtain a "A Certificate of Capacity Reservation ", which would avoid the fee payment for a one acre tract of land. This requires a separate application made to the Planning and Zoning Department and an approval by the City Commission after a public hearing (LDC Sec. 20 -4.1 (F). Schools Impact The selected developer will be required to contact the Miami -Dade School System in order to allow for the school system to access their impact fee. Wastewater (Sewer) The selected developer will be required to contact the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department to determine if current over - capacity Sewer Lift Station No. 177 will allow for sewer connection at the time of construction. Transportation/Traffic A development in this area of the City is not subject to transportation concurrency. Most of the City of South Miami is within the County established Transportation Concurrency Exception Area. It will be very important that the selected developer be required to provide a traffic analysis for the project. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The proposed development is compatible with and advances the goals and policies contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with and supports the Rezoning Application 5890 SW 69 Street. February 1, 2011 Page 5 of 6 following very important City policy: HOUSING ELEMENT Goal 1 To assure the availability of sound and affordable housing for all current and future residents of the City of South Miami with special focus on infill and redevelopment and to include housing units in the Hometown District. It is recognized that the choice of location rests with the individual and that the City's role is to implement policies that expand choices. Objective 1.1 The City shall support public and private efforts to provide at least 100 additional housing units, and aspire for the creation of 200 additional units, by 2015. Additionally, the City shall seek to provide an adequate supply of housing units that are affordable to households of all incomes, including the middle income sector, in proportions that are reflective of housing demands and needs in residential projects and communities. STAFF OBSERVATIONS 1. The proposed rezoning is a joint application because the proposed development clearly implements a major objective of the Comprehensive Plan pertaining to affordable housing. 2. The vehicle inspection site has been vacant and unused for several years and generates no revenue to the City. 3. The location is in close proximity to rapid transit, a post office, library, the community center, the senior citizens center, and the City's downtown, all of which are essential services for affordable housing tenants and senior citizen tenants. 4. The proposed residential development will be an improvement to the abutting community which consists primarily of industrial uses. PLANNING BOARD ACTION: The Planning Board conducted a public hearing at its meeting on January 11, 2011, however it deferred action on the application in order to obtain additional information. The Planning Board at its meeting on January 25, 2011 did adopt a motion by a vote of _ayes _nays recommending of the proposed rezoning. RECOMMENDATION The City of South Miami is a joint partner in the proposed development project and as such it is recommended that the rezoning (necessary to implement the project and attached Site Plan) be approved with the following condition: the preparation of a traffic analysis report must be produced by the selected developer.

Pursuant to the enclosed Letter dated November 22, 2010 signed by the City Manager, the Applicant is submitting the enclosed Application and supporting materials. Please accept this letter of intent on behalf of the Applicant requesting that the Property be rezoned from Transit Oriented Development District, Light Industrial 4 (TODD LI -4) to Transit Oriented Development District, Mixed Use 5 (TODD MU -5). Property. The Property contains approximately 31,000 square feet or +/- 0.71 acres. The Property is bounded on the South by SW 70th Street, on the North by SW 69th Street, on the West by a United States Post Office and on the East by an automobile repair shop. The Property is considered a "through lot" in that it has right of way access on SW 69th Street and on SW 70th Street. Zoning. The Property is zoned Transit Oriented Development District, Light Industrial 4 (TODD LI -4) on the City's Official Zoning Map. The Property is designated Transit - Oriented MIADOCS 4889635 3 1500 Miami Center • 201 South Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida 33131 • ph 305.358.6300 • & 305.381.9982 • w .shuttsxom MIAMI FORT LAUDERDALE WEST PALM BEACH ORLANDO TAMPA TALLAHASSEE AMSTERDAM City of South Miami December 13, 2010 Page 2 Development District (TODD) (4+ 4- story) on the City's Future Land Use Map. Copies of the City's Official Zoning Map and Future Land Use Map are enclosed for your ease of reference. Pursuant to Section 20- 3.1(B)(16 -20) of the City's Land Development Code ( "Code "), TODD MU -5 zoning is appropriate in areas designated "Transit- Oriented Development District" on the City's Future Land Use Map. In other words, the requested zoning is consistent with the growth management policies, goals and objectives in the City's Comprehensive Plan and is therefore appropriate. Several parcels adjacent to the Property on the West and multiple parcels South of the Property are zoned TODD MU -5. Further, according to Section 20 -8.1 of the Code, a Transit- Oriented Development District, such as TODD MU -5, should be located within walking distance of a dedicated mass transit center. The property is located immediately North of the South Miami Transit Station ( "Station ") across SW V Street. As such, the Applicant's request to rezone the Property to TODD MU -5 is appropriate and consistent with the Code. As discusssed in the Code, the purpose of the TODD MU -5 zoning district is to maximize the presence and use of existing and dedicated mass transit stations, like the Station. To achieve this goal, the Code promotes development of high density uses, including residential development, near the Station. Upon the City's approval of the requested change in zoning to TODD MU -5, the Applicant intends to develop the Property with high quality affordable housing and ancillary retail uses, all as more detailed on the enclosed site plan. Specifically, the Applicant intends to develop approximately Ninety (90) residential units, approximately One Hundred Ninety Four (194) parking spaces and approximately Two Thousand Five Hundred (2,500) square feet of retail space. Because the TODD MU -5 will promote and maximize usage of the existing public transportation facility, the requested rezoning is warranted and appropriate. After you have the opportunity to review this letter and the enclosed Application materials, please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions. We would appreciate if you would schedule the Application for hearing by the Planning Board on January 10, 2011.

IV. Planning Board Applications/Public hearings Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 2 of 10 PP -11 -001 Applicants: Carlisle Development Group, LLC City of South Miami Location: 5890 SW 69`' Street An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida, relating to a request to amend the official zoning map of the City of South Miami Land Development Code by changing the zoning use district from "TODD (LI -4) "Transit Oriented Development District (Light Industrial -4) to "TODD (MU -5) "Transit Oriented Development District (Mixed Use -5) for the property located at 5890 SW 69 ", Street (Folio No. 09- 4025 -028 -2070) also known as the Vehicle Inspection Station site; the purpose of the zone change is to allow construction of a new eight (8) story residential building with ninety (90) dwelling units; providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date. Action: Mr. Morton read the item into the record. Mr. Goldstein commented that the item is a quasi-judicial hearing and everyone including Mr. Youkilis that is testifying needs to be sworn in. Mrs. Yates swore in all those who were testifying. Mr. Youkilis informed the Board of his credentials while working for the City of South Miami. He is currently a Planning Consultant for South Miami for ten years, has background as a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners. He has a Master's degree in City Planning. Mr. Youkilis commented that he has been Planning Director in Miami Beach and Coral Gables and retired from the City of Coral Gables as Assistant City Manager and has served the City of South Miami as Interim City Manager and Planning Director. Mr. Youkilis commented that the application is a joint application Carlisle Development and the City of South Miami. The reason for the application is that the current zoning district is a TODD - LI4 and the development being proposed is for eight stories. Therefore, the zoning needs to be changed to TODD/MU5, which would allow four stories with additional four stories. The site is owned by the City. This location was a previously a vehicle inspection station and for many years it was leased and used as a towing yard. Most recently, there was a proposal to place a community garden in that location. The application being proposed is an affordable housing proposal that is being presented by the Carlisle Group for multiple - family housing. The location is an excellent site since the Carlisle group will be able to apply for low- income tax credits given by the State every year. If Carlisle Group, is be able to get a commitment from the City of South Miami to allow a zone change with an approved site plan, it would than allow them to apply for the tax credit. The City Manager authorized the application and clearly advised Carlisle that the City appreciated the group applying but there is no commitment that Carlisle was going to be the developer. The Carlisle group wrote a letter stating that the company understood that there is no commitment, but they were willing to apply for proper zoning. Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 3 of 10 The proposed building is going to be 100 feet tall with subterranean parking level and seven residential stories. The TODD district allows for four stories plus four additional and one floor for each residential story that is being proposed within the top four. The additional floors are rewarded as bonus as long as the parking for every unit is provided on site. The project is on .71 acres and will include 90 units. The density is equivalent to 127 units per acre, which is close to the units per acre for Valencia, which was approved at a density of 103 units and Red Road Commons that has 58 units per acre. The project meets all the requirements for setbacks, building height, dwelling and parking spaces. With a project of this stature, the public facilities are examined. Parks and recreation concurrency fee must be paid based on the four acres per one thousand population in the city. The anticipated population of ninety units is two hundred and fifty, which is one fourth of one thousand. The developer of the project will have to provide the city with one acre of potential open space park. If it is affordable housing the City Commission has the right to issue a certificate of capacity reservation and for the fee is waived. The Miami - Dade school district will have to provide the developer with their development fee. The School Board staff was informed of this hearing. A cautionary note on waste water and sewer is that the lift station is currently and over capacitated, the developer needs to get a reservation for sewers. Mr. Youkilis commented that there is no fee for the transportation concurrency since the City of South Miami is located in a transportation concurrency exception area. However, a traffic impact study needs to be completed to show the impact traffic of the project. The proposed project does meet the Comprehensive Plan on affordable housing. Staff recommends approval of the application of re- zoning with the condition that there be a traffic analysis conducted by the developer selected. Mr. Morton questioned if the sewer system issue be evaluated before or during the permitting process. Mr. Youkilis responded that it should be completed during the permitting process. The permitting process requires a letter from County Water and Sewer Authority stating that they is sewer capacity. Mr. Whitman questioned if the project is never built does the zoning still change and how are the bonuses being calculated. Mr. Youkilis replied yes. The applicant commented that the city interpretation for a story is a habitable story not a parking level. Therefore, parking levels are not considered stories. Mr. Whitman questioned if the building was seven or eight stories. The applicant responded that the building is eight stories. Mr. Whitman commented that the first story is retail. Mr. Ryan Bailine commented that the first four stories will begin on the third level, but under the Land Development Code the first level is not considered a story. There is parking on the first level and the stories began on the third floor. Mr. Whitman commented that the plans need to be correct to reflect that the first floor an arcade. Mr. Youkilis commented that the site plan will need to be corrected to state that the first floor is calculated as a pedestrian walk way arcade. The bonus comes from the first floor, then level three through five gives you the additional four bonuses stories. It is eight stories, two levels of parking and a subterranean parking level. Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 4 of 10 Mrs. Young questioned how many years this property has been vacant. Mr. Youkilis responded that the property has been vacant for five years since 2004. Mrs. Young questioned if guidelines for affordable and low- income housing are clear. Mr. Youkilis replied yes, it is regulated by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Cruz questioned when the application was presented to the City of South Miami. Mr. Youkilis responded in mid November. Mr. Cruz commented that in November the area was being considered for the community garden. He questioned if those individuals of the community garden group were informed. Mr. Youkilis responded yes. Mr. Cruz questioned how the project could be considered affordable without knowing the water and sewer fees. Mr. Bailine replied since this is an affordable housing project that does not mean that there is a waiver of WASA fees. He commented that the water and sewer fees will not impact the project from being constructed and from being affordable. Mr. Bailin commented that he could calculate the fees based on the connection fee but there is not an accurate amount since he did not meet with WASA. Mr. Cruz commented that if the station had the capacity then all the developer needed to do was connect to the sewer line than there would be no issue. But if they would have to open up the street and run a line, it will cost the company more money than the building. Mr. Bailin commented that one of three things will happen. Any development whether it is residential, commercial or other there will be connection fees and the estimated price for the building is one hundred thousand dollars. If the water main or sewer main is eight inches you will need to up grade it to twelve inches at there own expense. Running the line will not be an issue. Mr. Cruz questioned where the location of the pump station is. Mr. Youkilis responded next to City Hall. Mr. Bailine commented that if they place a private pump station on the property that would direct connection would be easier. He commented that the Water and Sewer Department tells the developer based on the frontage of the property what is the best location. Mr. Chris Peterson, Vice President of Carlisle Development, explained the additional costs are reimbursed out of the tax credit program. Mr. Bailin requested if the Carlisle group could give their presentation, which would answer most of the questions. Mr. Cruz commented that he is not against the project being built, but there is a big piece missing, which includes the developer speaking to WASA to determine how much the fees will be on the project. Mr. Cruz questioned if Red Road Commons is considered affordable housing. Mr. Youkilis responded that the forty units (10 %) are affordable housing. He commented that no one is going to build on the site without a development agreement. Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 5 of 10 Mr. Cruz questioned what the school fee would be. Mr. Bailine responded that since the housing is restricted to active seniors the School Board should waive the fee as there will be no impact on schools. Mr. Cruz questioned if the City is in agreement for the project being for the elderly. Mr. Youkilis commented that it would be affordable housing, but there is no specific age group targeted for the project. Mr. Bailine representing the Carlisle group located at 200 Biscayne Boulevard. He commented that the group presentation will include the proposed application, brief outline of the project, the Carlisle group and the benefits of the project. Mr. Bailine provided the Board with additional details about the tax credits and affordable housing. He stated that affordable housing in the TODD district mean mass transit facilities is a top priority of the State. He provided the Board with an updated version of the Comprehensive Plan in regards to affordable housing. Mr. Alberto Corbis of the Carlisle Group informed the Board that this project that will have a true market feeling. He gave the Board a detailed description on the design of the building proposed. Mr. Bailine commented when the state sends out an allocation letter, it is used to take it to the bank and look for tax credits to shelter the income. Once the tax credit is sold the local money and state money allows the developer to build the project. He commented that there are fixed rents on this property. Mrs. Yates requested for the Carlisle group to provide the Board with a brief description of the company background. Mr. Peterson commented that the Carlisle group was founded in 1998; their main focus is on affordable housing. They have completed over nine thousand units of affordable housing projects in the State of Florida. Most of the units have been financed with tax exempt funds. Mrs. Yates questioned what the time frame from getting it started is and are there parameters on how you have to build the units. Mr. Peterson responded eighteen months and no the parameters will are set in the Land Development Code. Mrs. Beckman commented that their will still be an RFP issues and the Carlisle group might not be the project developer. Mrs. Yates agreed that she was correct, but she would like to know why they chose the site. Mr. Peterson commented that the property is chosen based on its proximity to the various services such as mass transit, libraries and senior citizen facilities. Mrs. Yates questioned if the request to change the zoning of the site to be able to build is what is being proposed. Mr. Youkilis responded yes. Mr. Morton questioned if this is a land lease or a land transfer and would the developer plan to go to the housing finance authority. Mr. Peterson responded no, there will be no need. Mr. Peterson inforned the Board of the previous project that was just conducted near the Brownsville Metrorail in Miami. Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 6 of 10 Mr. Whitman questioned what is the most common form of the land transfer, purchase or lease. If it is a lease does it still become a taxable property. Mr. Peterson replied that it varies. For example, the Brownsville Metro -rail is a lease and yes it is taxable. Mr. Bailine responded that the lease would be sixty -five years and the ground lease of ninety nine years and becomes an insurable interest. This would be fully taxable and the only way that this would not occur is if it were a non profit company. Mrs. Young questioned if the Planning Board saw the community garden proposed in November 2010, was it approved by the City Commission. Mr. Youkilis commented yes, but it no longer specific to this location. The item is on second reading meaning the City Commission has not made a decision yet. Mrs. Young questioned if there is a deadline date for the housing tax credit. Mr. Bailine responded the date is February 28, 2010. Mr. Peterson commented that there has been a delay and it will be pushed back for April 2011. Mrs. Young questioned if there is an impact with the Madison Square project. Mr. Youkilis responded no. She than questioned if staff was rushing the item. Mr. Youkilis replied yes so that the tax credit application deadline could be met. Mr. Cruz questioned who applies for the tax credit. Mr. Bailine responded private developers, housing agencies. Mr. Cruz questioned if this is going to go out as an RFP. Is this fair to other developers with such a small amount of time? Mr. Bailin commented all the work has been done by the Carlisle Group but if another company is selected than the company has the zoning completed for them. Mr. Cruz questioned if the RFP has to go out to open bid. Mr. Goldstein responded that there is no requirement for it to go out as an open bid. Mr. Goldstein commented that the Planning Board is just deciding the re- zoning and the City Commission will make the final decision. Mr. Cruz questioned how much the property is worth. Mr. Youkilis responded the Miami -Dade Property Appraiser value at $1.28 million. Mr. Whitman commented that it was up zoned than it will increase. Mr. Goldstein agreed. Mr. Cruz questioned what happens if the credit is not received after eighteen months. Can you sell the property. Mr. Bailine replied that is the applicant that will allow the city to do what they want. Mrs. Beckman questioned if the surrounding property owners notified. Mr. Youkilis responded that all property owners were informed that are within a 500 foot radius. She questioned if the census results to confirm the need of affordable housing. Mr. Youkilis replied that the City census data will be available March 1, 2011. Mrs. Beckman questioned if there is a waiting list for affordable housing. Mr. Youkilis responded he has not heard of a waiting list. Mrs. Beckman questioned how many acres of affordable housing are available and does that include vacant land. Mr. Bailine responded that the data he passed out is taken out of the Comprehensive Plan and was developed in the year 2000. Mrs. Beckman questioned what the tallest building in the City of South Miami. Mr. Youkilis commented there are several eight story buildings. The most density allowed is 24 units an acre, but can be acceded in certain special districts. Mrs. Beckman questioned if it is recession proof and if there are any affordable housing in the upscale community. Mr. Bailin responded that it is not recession proof, but it is the greatest economic down turn and he has not done affordable housing in the upscale communities. Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 7 of 10 Mrs. Beckman recommended keeping the community garden in this location and focusing on the current affordable housing projects that have not been completed. Mrs. Yates commented that what is before the Board is if the rezoning only. Mrs. Beckman agreed. Mrs. Beckman asked about the tax increment money that is generated from the up- zoning in the CRA district. Mr. Whitman responded that there is a 50150 split of tax increment between the City and the CRA. Mrs. Beckman questioned why it is so important to have so much retail and there are many retail businesses that have not been successful. Mr. Youkilis responded that it is not mandatory to place retail businesses. Mr. Bailin commented that that question will be reviewed during the site plan review process. Mrs. Beckman questioned how this not spot zoning is. Mr. Goldstein responded change would be compatible with the surrounding area. Mr. Youkilis added that the residential zone uses are allowed in all of the zone districts surrounding the project. The Chair opened the Public Hearing. NAME Sharon McCain ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE PROJECT Oppose Ms. McCain questioned if anyone on the Board had previously been contacted by the Carlisle group. The Board responded no. She commented that during the last CRA meeting the City Attorney, Mr. Feingold advised Commissioner Beasley to not attend the Planning Board meeting. However, Deputy Attorney Mr. Goldstein did not inform Commissioner Beasley to remove himself from the meeting. Ms. McCain commented that the project is considered spot zoning since it is being changed for one specific address. She further commented that the item is being rushed through since the developer has a deadline. Ms. McCain questioned why has the City not worked on the Madison square project. She questioned the low- income housing rate. Mr. Youkilis responded that there are three levels of affordable housing and different qualifications. NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT/OPPOSE PROJECT Charlotte Dison 8031 SW 58 Avenue Oppose Mrs. Dison commented that she was informed of the project once Carlisle sent her letter to the property she owns on Commerce Lane area describing project's intent. She conducted research on the Carlisle Group and it did not make any sense that a letter was being mailed in December for the inspection station; at the same time the Planning Board was considering a community garden on the same property. A major concern is the impact the building will cause on surrounding areas. Mrs. Dison questioned if it is going to be subsidized housing. Mr. Peterson responded that Section 8 is only for those who pay a very low rent, the affordable housing in mind ranges from three to four hundred dollars rent per month. Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 8 of 10 NAME ADDRESS SUPPORVOPP ®SE PROJECT Cal Rosenbaum Support Mr. Rosenbaum commented that he owns several properties throughout South Miami. He commented that he agreed with some of Mrs. Dison comments. If some of the comments were taken into consideration with the Somerset Charter School, there would not be an issue at the moment. Mr. Rosenbaum complimented the staff on a report well written and thanked the Board on their responses. He commented that some of the topics brought up are really the City Commission responsibility. Mr. Rosenbaum commented that the economy is not what it use to be and the there are many individuals who have doctoral degrees and are driving a taxi cab. The county will continue to grow whether you like it or not. He suggested that the Board vote for the item. Mr. Whitman questioned why he changed his view on the project since the previous week. Mr. Rosenbaum responded that he changed his opinion since he was misinformed and in the end the final decision is left up to the City Commission not the Planning Board or the Planning & Zoning Department. The Chair closed the public hearing. Motion: Mr. Morton moved to approve the application as presented. Motion failed to receive second. Mr. Cruz questioned if the item is delayed to the next Planning Board date and will they have enough time to get it approved. Mr. Youkilis responded after January 25, 2011, the item would go to the City Commission. Mr. Whitman commented that he is very uncomfortable with the density being that high. He commented that this will put pressure on businesses that may employee people. It also provides services to the community. Mrs. Yates commented if the property is up -zoned than there will be a new value for the site. She is not sure if in the current zone a new business such as another inspection station will use the property. Mr. Whitman commented that the community garden could be placed in that location. Mrs. Yates commented that it is the best spot for a higher density and the site is under utilized. She commented that the Planning Board topic is just on the change in zoning. Mr. Whitman questioned if the development agreement comes before the Board. Mrs. Yates responded yes. Motion: Mr. Cruz moved to defer the item. Mr. Whitman seconded. Mr. Whitman questioned what will be accomplished if the item is deferred. Mr. Cruz responded certain questions could be answered. Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 9 of 10 Mrs. Yates commented that why is the site plan being approved if Carlisle might not be the developer and at which Commission meeting will this be proposed. Mr. Youkilis commented that it might not affect the City Commission schedule. Mr. Cruz questioned why those who lease apartments or property did not get a notice. Mr. Youkilis responded that the notice is by law sent only to owners of the property. Mr. Bailine suggested the Board submit any questions by Friday at 4:00 p.m. to allow the Carlisle group to get background information if needed. Mr. Whitman questioned if that is considered ex -parte contact. Mr. Goldstein responded no, since it is staff receiving the questions. Vote: 5 Ayes 2 Nays (Mr. Morton and Mr. Whitman) PB -11 -002 Applicant: City of South Miami An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida amending the Land Development Code Section 20- 8.9(B) (1) entitled "Special exceptions" in order to reduce the time limit for commencing and completing a development project which has been granted a special exception in a 'Transit Oriented Development District (TODD); providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date. Action: Mrs. Young read the item into the record. Mr. Vageline informed the Board that the report before them has been seen in many different forms. It was discovered in the TODD zoning districts if you have a special exception awarded there was no regulation to say when it would expire. There was language developed and sent to the City Commission, which was approved. However, there will be the same problem in the Hometown Overlay District. Staff would like for both zones to read the same, but during discussion the City Commission felt that the time limit for TODD was to generous and should be tightened a bit. The Commission reduced the time limit before it adopted the revision and now it does not read the same. If the amendment is approved it will read the same as the Hometown Overlay District, which is now 18 months to commence a project and 2 years to complete it. Mr. Whitman commented that the adjustment has already been changed in the Hometown and this would read the same as the Hometown. Mr. Morton recommended adding an extension date to the last sentence. The Chair opened the Public Bearing. Planning Board January 11, 2011 Page 10 of 10 NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE PROJECT Sharon McCain Support Ms. McCain questioned if this is only for the TODD district. Mr. Whitman responded that this has already been adopted for the Hometown District and it is only to match the Hometown district regulation. She questioned why this has not been adopted to the 64 Development Project. Mr. Youkilis commented that the development agreement stated that all zoning regulations are extended to the length of the development agreement. The Chair Closed the Public Bearing. Motion: Mrs. Yates moved to approve the proposed amendment with the following revision: that the special exception for both the commencement time limit or the substantial completion date may be extended by the City Commission. Vote: 7 Ayes 0 Nays V. Minutes: A) Mr. Morton moved to approve the meeting minutes of November 9, 2010 with conditions. Mrs. Young seconded.

(0.71 acres) and consists of nine rectangular lots of which three lots face SW 69`x' Street and six lots face SW 70 "' Street. The property is accessible from both streets. The site is currently unused and is vacant except for a small building once used as part of the State of Florida inspection station program. During the period 1993 to 2001 the property was leased to the State for use as an automobile inspection station and in 2002 -2004 it was leased to a company using the site as an automobile towing /storage lot. During the past five years there have been several proposals for using the property including selling or leasing it for development, and creating a municipal parking lot. The most recent proposal in 2010 was for the site to be used as a community garden. AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROPOSAL The City was approached by the Carlisle Group in early December, 2010 with a proposal to construct 90 units of affordable multi- family housing on the vehicle inspection site. It was their recommendation that this was an excellent site for a project of this type. In addition a developer could receive government financial incentives to build at this location. The program involved is the awarding by the State of Florida of federal income tax credits to affordable housing projects. The sale /transfer of these tax credits can bring in expanded investment in the development and allow for quality development of affordable housing units. The award criteria of the low - income housing tax credit (LIHTC) in this year is to emphasize locations near rapid transit stations and other public service facilities. A number of sites in the City's TODD zoning district are being considered by developers of affordable housing projects because of the low - income housing tax credit program. The application to the State for the tax credit must show that proper zoning is in place and that a site plan for the project has been approved by the local government. The deadline for submission was the end of 2010, however, it has been extended several times. JOINT APPLICATION SUBMISSION In order to make this site eligible for an affordable housing development with the use of low - income tax credits and in recognition of the State imposed deadlines the City Administration accepted the Carlisle Group's proposal to initiate a rezoning application on the property. The company offered to pay the rezoning application fee and submit plans for a potential development. The company was authorized to file the application via a communication from the City Manager dated November 22, 2010 (see attached). The Land Development Code permits the City Administration to initiate a rezoning application (LDC Section 20 -5.7 (B). In addition, the City Commission at its January 4, 2011 confirmed the City Manager's action to file the rezoning application. The Carlisle Group was advised that if the rezoning is approved a separate procedure will be followed by the City to select a developer, transfer, sell or lease the site to that developer and to enter into a binding agreement with the selected developer. The Carlisle Group confirmed this understanding in a letter to the Planning and Zoning Director dated January 6, 2011 (see attached).

Attached as Exhibit "A" is the Project Data which shown on Page A -0.00 in the Site Plan document. The following are highlights of the proposed building: (1) The residential building will include 90 dwelling units and 2,350 square feet of retail use at the ground floor. The site is 31,050 square feet or 0 .71 acres. This is an equivalent density of 127 units per acre. The TODD zoning district does not have a maximum limit on density (FAR) or units per acre. Recent new residential development on the area: 103 units per acre (Valencia) and 58 units per acre (Red Road Commons). It is important to note that one of the stated objectives in the TODD zoning district (LDC Sec. 20 -8.1) is to encourage "high density" uses. (2) The proposed building will be 100 feet tall and includes a subterranean parking level, two parking levels and eight stories (ground floor with an arcade and seven residential floors). The TODD zoning district allows as a matter of right four floors and additional bonus floors up to eight stories or a maximum 100 feet in height. The additional floors are awarded as bonus floors (LDC Section 20 -8.10) in which a development project is allowed one additional floor of residential for each residential floor provided in the first four stories. This bonus is allowed provided that the required parking for each unit (two spaces) is provided. (3) The project as designed is providing the required parking spaces on site internal to the building. A total of 188 spaces are required and are provided (90 units x 2 spaces = 180 spaces plus eight spaces for the retail area). (4) The project as designed complies with all of the required setbacks, dwelling unit size, parking space requirement, uses allowed and building height all as set forth in the TODD zoning district. Rezoning Application 5890 SW 69 Street. January 11, 2011 Page 4 of 6 Compatibility of Ilse: The property although surrounded by industrial and institutional uses is a compatible site for residential uses. The site abuts a rapid transit station and a post office. It is within an easy walking distance of a community center, a senior citizen center, a library and an urban downtown. The property also is located less than a block away from existing high density residential developments The existing future land use map category (TODD) and the underlying zoning district both allow for residential, commercial and light industrial uses at a very high density. The use of the City owned site for affordable housing is compatible with the surrounding uses. Public Facilities: The selected developer for the project will be responsible for assuring that public infrastructure serving the site will be sufficient. For purposes of this report, presented below is a summary of public facility issues: Parks / Recreation Concurrenev The selected developer will be required to provide a concurrency fee to the City for the impact on park and recreational acreage. Based upon the City's current Level of Service standard (four acres for every 1000 population) a residential development the size of this project would be assessed a fee approximately equal to the purchase price of a one acre tract of land in South Miami (LDC Sec.20- 4.1(D). It is important to note that the LDC also allows the City to consider allocating surplus recreational capacity to a developer of affordable housing. The City currently has surplus recreational capacity (acreage). A developer would have to obtain a "A Certificate of Capacity Reservation ", which would avoid the fee payment for a one acre tract of land. This requires a separate application made to the Planning and Zoning Department and an approval by the City Commission after a public hearing (LDC Sec. 20 -4.1 (F). Schools Impact The selected developer will be required to contact the Miami -Dade School District in order to allow for the school system to access their impact fee. Wastewater (Sewer) The selected developer will be required to contact the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department to determine if current over - capacity Sewer Lift Station No. 177 will allow for sewer connection at the time of construction. Transportation/Traffic A development in.this area of the City is not subject to transportation concurrency. Most of the City of South Miami is within the County established Transportation Concurrency Exception Area. It will be very important that the selected developer be required to provide a traffic analysis for the project. Rezoning Application 5890 SW 69 Street. January 11, 2011 Page 5 of 6 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The proposed development is compatible with and advances the goals and objectives contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with and supports the following very important City objective: HOUSING ELEMENT Goal 1 To assure the availability of sound and affordable housing for all current and future residents of the City of South Miami with special focus on infill and redevelopment and to include housing units in the Hometown District. It is recognized that the choice of location rests with the individual and that the City's role is to implement policies that expand choices. Objective 1.1 The City shall support public and private efforts to provide at least 100 additional housing units, and aspire for the creation of 200 additional units, by 2015. Additionally, the City shall seek to provide an adequate supply of housing units that are affordable to households of all incomes, including the middle income sector, in proportions that are reflective of housing demands and needs in residential projects and communities. STAFF OBSERVATIONS 1. The proposed rezoning is a joint application because the proposed development clearly implements a major objective of the Comprehensive Plan pertaining to affordable housing. 2. The vehicle inspection site has been vacant and unused for several years and generates no revenue to the City. The location is in close proximity to rapid transit, a post office, library, the community center, the senior citizens center, and the City's downtown, all of which are essential services for affordable housing tenants and senior citizen tenants. 4. The proposed residential development will be an improvement to the abutting community which consists primarily of industrial uses. RECOMMENDATION The City of South Miami is a joint partner in the proposed development project and as such it is recommended that the rezoning necessary to implement the project (and Site Plan) be approved with the following condition: the preparation of a traffic analysis report must be produced by the selected developer.

M Carlisle/City of South Miami Rezoning AOihli "atlsoo'1 for 90 SW 69 Street Response to Questions /Concerns from the Planning Board: 5. Question (pars 1): Recommend Carlisle provide affordable housing table defining housing median values and income levels for proposed tenants. Answer: Florida Housing Finance Corporation administers the federal low - income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program, and determines maximum income' and rent limits for LIHTC funded communities based on the area median income (AMI), calculated annually. Miami -Dade County's 2010 AMI was $52,200. The following tables summarize the income and rent limits for the proposed tenants of any new affordable housing development in the City of South Miami:2 Income Limit Range AMI bevel Family of I Family of 4 Min 28% of AMI $16,269 $23,199 Max 60% of AMI $29,580 $42,180 Rent Limits (Gross) 28% of AMI 60% of 1 Bed $369 _AMI $792 2 Bed $443 $949 Rent Limits (Met uA)3 28% of AMI 60% of AMI 1 Bed $220 $643 2 Bed $260 $766 ;U JAN 2 11 2oq Income limits are adjusted for family size. The County AMI is based on a family of four. Ptland 'i 6nq and Please also see attachments from Florida Housing showing the actual income and rent limit tables.` "` " "`" 3 These are the actual proposed rents. Please note that the maximum rent actually charged to the tenant must be net of a utility allowance for any utilities that the tenant pays themselves (or Gross Rent less Utility allowance).

WOMAN 11 • MOO The State of Florida has established a boat that by the vear 2010 " - - -- decent and affordable housing is available for all residents." A major initiative of this goal was to undertake a Statewide evaluation of affordable housing availability. A study was completed in 1996 by the Universitv of Florida's Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, under contract to the Florida DCA The objective was to provide a proiection of the surplus and /or deficit of affordable housing units in every,- governmental jurisdiction. Affordable housing is defined as housing for which monthly rent or mortgage payments including taxes insurance and utilities does not exceed 30% of the gross annual income of verv-low income. low- income and moderate - income households The analysis preformed by the Shimbera Center for the Citv of South Miami uses a progressive series of data factors including housing inventory , population projections household size housing type and household income levels in order to determine the availability and /or deficits of affordable housing units. The affordable housing assessment data 0998) for the Citv is presented in Tables 3 -12 through 3 -20 The accumulative affordable housing deficit for South Miami by income category is shown below on Table 3- 19.A(p 94) The deficit summary for the City is shown on Table 3 -2l(p 97 1) Ord, No. 3-00-1705.8/7/00: DCA No. 00 -R1 ei Element 3 The cumulative deficit of affordable housing units in South Miami is shown by household 'income categories and for the years 1995 2000 2005 and 2010 The definition of affordable housing applies to the very low income category (50% of median family income) low income category (80 %) and moderate income category (120 %) The very very low income category (30% of median income) is eligible for subsidized and/or public housing and is therefore not included in the affordable housing categorv. . The Citv of South Miami has a deficit of affordable housing units as follows: TABLE 3 -2i CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI AFFORDABLE HQUSINC DEFICIT SaJ1Vf1@T.ARY YEAR OWNER OCCUPIED RENTAL TOTAL 2000 -1095 86 -1009 2005 -1137 92 -1045 2010 -1204 84 -1120 In responding to the affordable housing deficit it is important to note that the City of South Miami has several conditions which limit the extent to which the deficit can be reduced. These include: ® The City is essentially built -out with little opportunity to add a substantial number of new housing units either at the market rate or at an affordable housing level. In fact. the actual number of existing housing units decreased during the period 1980 -1995 ® The City has very limited vacant land left with development potential A total of 29.42 acres (1.8 %) of the Citv's total land acreage is vacant Of the total acreage currently vacant only 13.8 acres are in areas zoned for residential development. Affordable housing Opportunities: Although the City of South Miami cannot completely eliminate the affordable housing deficit. there are certain resources and housing programs which can reduce the current and anticipated deficits. Most significant is the creation of the South Miami Community Redevelopment Azeney ( SMCRA and the designation of a 185 -acre redevelopment district The Redevelopment Agency's work program for Phase I indicates considerable investment in the acquisition of vacant lots and loans and mortaa e subsidies to encourage affordable housing construction A total of 24 units of affordable housing will be built during the next two vears The SMCRA Board will be encouraged by the Citv to respond to future needs for additional affordable housing units. The Citv has also worked closely with Habitat for Humanity which has targeted South Miami for construction of new homes for low and moderate income families It is anticipated that this program along with other private or;anizations will produce at least five units of affordable housing units in next five years. Ord. No. 3 -00 -1705. 3/7/00: DCA No. 00 -Ri CA Element 3 The South Miami Metro Rail Station also presents the Cite with an excellent o Dortunitytoprovide affordable housing units. The County's Rapid Transit Zoning DjstricY and the City's abutting Transit Oriented Development District (TODD) both encourage multi - storied mixed use development projects. Due to the transit needs of families needing affordable housing proiects providing affordable housing will be given priority. It is anticipated that one such project the projected that one additional project of that scale can be completed by the vear 2010 If the above projects and programs are realized and implemented considerable progress will have been made within the Citv of South Miami to reduce the affordable housing deficit. Ord. No. 3 -00 -1705. 3/7/00: DCA No. 00 -R 1 �. 3q Ele'snent 3 c) Now many units have been built of affordable housing Answer: See following pages. Federally Assisted Housing Given the cutback in federal funds to support housing assistance programs, it is not surprising that the City's inventory of subsidized housing has not expanded since the completion of the last Comprehensive Plan-Lin 1981. D^� � Housing and Urban Development officials identified five assisted rental housing developments. In addition, 38 units of owner- occupied housing have received subsidies under two different programs (HUD 235 and the County Surtax programs). Editor's Insert, August 19, 1997.

Dade County Department of Housing and Urban Development, 1987. Due to the very limited supply of vacant land in the City, it is unlikely much new government assisted housing will be constructed in the future. Rental rehab or small, scattered -site new development could be feasible on a limited scale. Group Homes The Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services licenses group homes through three of its divisions: Aging and Adult Services (Adult Congregate Living Facilities); Division of Developmental Services (Long Term Residential Care Facilities and Centers for Independent Living); and Children, Youth and Families (Family Group Homes, Family Foster Homes, and Licensed Child Caring /Child Placing Facilities). There are no State- licensed facilities in the first two categories within the corporate limits of South Miami. State - licensed facilities located elsewhere in Dade County provide services to residents of the community. County officials familiar with the needs of South Miami's special populations indicate that they have not identified a strong need for new facilities within the City limits. 41 Element 3 d) Q. How many units /acres are approved for affordable housing and are there developer agreements to confirm? Answer: 3 to 4 acres, no developer agreements. e) Q. How many units /acres approved for affordable housing are owned by the city and how many more acres are available of the vacant land that can or will be changed to affordable housing? Answer: 3 to 4 acres. f) Q. Provide table w /housing median values for Miami -Dade. Answer: See following page. 47 Determination of the Moderate Income Segment is made annually through the provision of the Area Median Income from Miami -Dade County by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The area median income for Miami -Dade County is $52,200, as determined by U.S. Housing and Urban Development in February 2010. (AMI levels are determined each February or March by HUD) Moderate income is defined as those earning between 80% to 120% of the annual median income. Accordingly, the current income level per unit to comply with the 10% requirement is between $41,760 per year and $62,640 per year. "rJ ■ 7. Q. What additional eight story buildings are being planned in the area of the inspection station? If none why not? If some who? Answer: No additional 8 story buildings being proposed.

(3) A citation issued by a code inspector shall state the date and time of issuance; name and address of the person in violation; date of the violation; section of the codes or ordinances, or subsequent amendments thereto, violated; name of the code inspector; and date and time when the violator shall appear in county court. (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize any person designated as a code inspector to perform any function or duties of a taw enforcement officer other than as specified in this section. A code inspector shall not make physical arrests or take any person into custody and shalt be exempt from requirements relating to the Special Risk Class of the Florida Retirement System, bonding, and the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, as defined and provided by general taw. (5) The provisions of this section shalt not apply to the enforcement pursuant to ss. 553.79 and 553.80 of the Florida Building Code adopted pursuant to s. 553.73 as applied to construction, provided that a building permit is either not required or has been issued by the municipality. (6) The provisions of this section may be used by a municipality in lieu of the provisions of part II of chapter 162. (7) The provisions of this section are additional or supplemental means of enforcing municipal codes and ordinances.
