OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
VIA:Steven J. Alexander, City Manager
FROM:Jane K. Tompkins, AICP, Planning Director
Date:May 15, 2018
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend the contract with Calvin Giordano & Associates,
Inc.for additional professional services related to the “Comprehensive Plan and Land Development
Code Revision”.
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the City entered into a professional services agreement with Calvin Giordano &
Associates, Inc. to update the Land Development Code (LDC) and the Comprehensive Plan in
accordance with State requirements. The scope of services for that agreement did not include
the analysis of text and map amendments for specific land use categories or geographic areas.
The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency and the City Commission now desire to
proceed with amendments for the area bounded by SW 71st Street, SW 70th Street, SW 59th Place,
and SW 61st Court. In addition, the Commission wishes to undertake amendments to increase
the density and intensity of the industrial area along Commerce Lane and Progress Road beyond
what is currently permitted by the Plan and LDC.
The work needed to complete these amendments includesanalyzing the potential and
appropriate densities and intensities for the area (i.e., determining the appropriate maximum
height limits, units per acre, etc.) and conducting a traffic analysis to comply with Miami-Dade
County’s requirements. Such work requires knowledge, skills and resources not available
within the City. That fact, coupled with the time demands of other complicated projects and
limited staff resources, supports hiring outside assistance to complete these amendments.
