BACKGROUND: The SMCRA commissioned a housing study in 2001 by The Corradino Group which identified specific sites for redevelopment. The SMCRA plan makes various references to the housing study and the need to update it. In fact, various projects mentioned in the redevelopment plan call specifically for projects to be based on the 2001 study or the updated study. The Agency and City staff has determined that it is time for the study to be updated. The need for the update is codified in the Comprehensive Plan of the City: "HOU Policy 1.1.3 By 2020, the City shall seek funding for a Housing Study or a housing finance agency to further identify specific needs of the City's current housing supply and affordable housing needs of the City." With the need for an updated housing study established, City and SMCRA staff worked to put together a scope and solicit proposals. We secured proposals from five firms, all of them were deemed responsive to the scope. Each proposer was allowed revisions of their proposal and allowed to submit a Best and Final Offer. Following receipt of the proposals, staff reviewed the submissions and have settled on the following two proposals: 1. PIES (79,000)- Experienced at this particular work; a mix of local and national expertise. 2. KCI (64,622) — Experienced with City and CRA; great South Florida expertise After speaking with both firms, staff decided to negotiate with the two.

Resolution Prior Housing Study Proposals 3 �PES Partners for Economic Solutions March 4, 2019 Evan Faucher Director SOMI CRA 5825 SW 68th Street St. 400 South Miami, Florida 33143 Dear Mr. Faucher: Like many American cities coast to coast, South Miami is facing a crisis of housing affordability. Housing construction, particularly multifamily housing, has not kept pace with the rising demand associated with population growth and generational change. In the face of the resulting shortages, housing prices and rents have increased much more rapidly than did incomes over the past decade. Zoning and other policies have constrained the types of housing that can be built, in some case, excluding housing types that would be more naturally affordable, such as small lot single-family houses, duplexes, accessory dwelling units and small multifamily buildings. We are pleased to submit this proposal for Partners for Economic Solutions (PES) and Dover Kohl & Partners (DKP) to prepare a comprehensive housing study for the City of South Miami and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) redevelopment area. Anita Morrison and Abigail Byers Ferretti formed PES in 2008. Together, we bring more than 60 years of experience in development and redevelopment economics, public/private partnerships and area plans. Our work has focused particularly on housing markets and affordability issues, including major analyses for Arlington and Charlottesville, Virginia. Because many of the tools and solutions available to address housing problems include physical planning and design solutions, we have joined with DKP to take advantage of their exceptional skills in consensus building in community planning as well as their intimate understanding of South Miami. Neighborhood acceptance or opposition is always a major factor in the development of affordable housing. 349 Cedar Street N.W. Washington, DC 20012 www.PESconsult.com 6 T: 202 621-9103 F: 202 621-9129 �JPES �Partncrs for Economic Solutions Good design needs to be backed by thoughtful zoning provisions that assure that the affordable units are designed in a way that complements and enhances a neighborhood. Helping neighborhood residents understand and accept that change is not inherently bad is a critical step in implementing housing strategies. DKP's "designing in public" approach is particularly effective in helping residents visualize future development and how it can fit into their neighborhoods. Our two firms have collaborated on many occasions over the last 15 years, on assignments for municipal and private clients all over the country. For instance, we were successful in shifting the conversations in Arlington's Columbia Pike neighborhoods, using both images and rigorous financial analyses to help convince residents that additional density need not be unattractive and that such density was essential to achieving the community's goals of preserving housing affordability. For this project, PES will serve as the lead consultant, with DK&P in a supporting subconsultant role. Housing markets are quite involved, serving households at multiple income levels in different stages of their lives and with different preferences. Market conditions and opportunities of these disparate groups are linked as households age and change, moving up or downsizing, and making their older homes available to new waves of residents. When one group's housing needs are not met, they impact other groups by absorbing units that might otherwise have been available at lower rents or prices to less well-off families. We will examine the entire market — assessing demographics and characteristics of the community's various populations. We will profile the housing market in terms of available rental and for -sale units, assisted housing, naturally affordable housing, market -rate housing and specialized housing for the elderly and persons with disabilities. We will explore the role that South Miami plays in the regional housing market. Our quantitative analysis identifies the mismatches and gaps between demand and supply. Accurately diagnosing the key market factors, regulatory policies and approval processes that are inhibiting the local market from meeting housing demand is critical to developing effective housing policies that target the real problems. PES makes extensive use of financial modeling to test the economics of developing different types of housing in the local market and the potential efficacy of prospective incentives in affecting private -market development decisions. Such modeling is essential to accurately fine-tuning such incentives as a bonus density, tax incentives, fee waivers and other financial tools. , Ad::: -7JPES Partners for Economic Solutions Scope of Services Our initial proposal envisions a two -phased process that focuses first on diagnosis and then on possible solutions. The first stage identifies the issues facing the South Miami market and their causes, quantifying current and future needs. The second stage focuses on building consensus for a set of specific programs and initiatives tailored to the South Miami situation. We have also proposed an optional phase focused on engaging the community, development industry and policy makers in a process to expand each other's understanding of the challenges and options available to the City and CRA. We recommend that the CRA form a Steering Committee of six to eight persons to work with the consultant team throughout the housing study, bringing together individuals from the CRA, City, housing advocates, developers and representatives of other relevant organizations. Phase One: Diagnosis The diagnosis phase entails detailed analysis of demographics and the local housing market supplemented by review of zoning and other relevant policies. 1. Kick -Off Meeting and Background Review. PES and DKP will conduct a kick-off meeting with the CRA to review goals for this analysis and efforts to date, establish the project schedule and tour the CRA area. The PES Team will review existing background reports and studies in preparation. 2. Demographic Analysis. PES will analyze socioeconomic conditions and demographic trends for the metropolitan area, South Miami as a whole and the CRA redevelopment area, drawing on data from the U.S. Census, the American Community Survey and ESRI, a private demographic data providers. The analysis will include trends in employment, population, households, race and ethnicity, household income, household type and composition, household size, householder age, workforce by occupations and industry, educational attainment and means of transport. Cost burden data will highlight needs among households at the following income levels: less than 30 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), 30 to 50 percent of AMI; 50 to 80 percent of AMI; 80 to 100 percent of AMI; 100 to 120 percent of AMI and above 120 percent of AMI. Maps, tables and graphics will illustrate the trends. 3. Housing Market Conditions. PES will document current housing market conditions. Inventory data regarding age, vacancies, rents and home values will be drawn from the American Community Survey, supplemented by rental housing inventories, assisted housing inventories, building permit data, development pipeline PES Partners for Economic Solutions information and recent housing sales. PES will prepare an in-depth analysis of the city's rental housing stock, including the mix of housing types and sizes, vacancy rates, rent trends and year built. 4. Zoning and Other Policy Review. DKP will review the City's zoning code and other planning policies to identify provisions that inhibit development of affordable housing and impact development costs. 5. Housing Needs, Market Constraints and Opportunities Report. From these analyses, PES will prepare a needs assessment report that identifies and quantifies housing deficiencies for the City and the CRA area, incorporating graphics, tables and maps. Housing needs will be quantified by income group to 2040 by five-year increments. A technical appendix will provide more detailed tabular data. The report will identify and discuss market constraints that inhibit the production of additional affordable housing, including quantity, quality, housing types and development patterns, supply and demand metrics, affordability thresholds, policies, land development regulations and funding. PES will prepare a final version of the report following receipt of comments from the CRA. 6. Briefings. At the end of Phase One, the PES Team will brief the City Commission, and the Planning Board on the findings of the housing needs assessment. Phase Two: Strategies The second phase will move from the definition of the problem to evaluating specific policy approaches and funding strategies and then to formulating a five-year plan for South Miami. 1. Housing Tools and Best Practices. PES will compile a comprehensive set of potential housing tools for potential use in South Miami, highlighting those best suited to address the housing issues facing the City. The tools review will encompass development strategies, equal housing opportunity access and residents' self-sufficiency measures to better equip them to compete within the private market. It will include preservation of existing affordable units and strategies that allow current residents to remain in the community in the face of rising rents/prices. DKP will compile a photo array of housing options to illustrate opportunities for "missing middle" housing, accessory dwelling units and other types that would help increase densities while retaining the feel of single-family neighborhoods. The goal �JPES �Partncrs for Economic Solutions is to build up a library that will help residents visualize and appreciate the many alternatives available. 2. Financial Modeling. PES will prepare financial models for different housing types suitable for testing alternative incentives, including bonus density, changing parking requirements, fee waivers and other incentives. For example, the model could test how many floors would need to be added to a development's height to induce a developer to devote 10 percent of the units for housing affordable at different AMI levels. 3. Draft Housing Strategy. PES and DKP will draw on the results of the preceding analyses and engagements to formulate a draft strategy with goals, objectives and specific priority programs to guide the City's housing efforts for the next five years. Following staff review, a final report will be prepared. 4. Briefings. PES and DKP will present the proposed housing strategy to the Planning Board and the City Commission. Optional Task A 1. Website. If desired, the housing type photos can be posted to the City or CRA website to allow residents to comment and rank or vote on the types most appealing or acceptable to them. Optional Tasks B 1. Opportunity Site Identification. DKP will use GIS and property assessment data to identify vacant and underutilized properties in the CRA area, summarizing the findings into different categories of potential sites, e.g., individual single-family lots, clustered lots, larger properties and existing multi -family development potentially suitable for additional density. 2. Prototypical Sites. The PES Team and the Steering Committee will jointly identify a sampling of up to eight prototypical sites that represent the range of opportunity sites available in the CRA area. The sites will be chosen to encompass a variety of situations, such as single lots, clustered lots, publicly -owned land, aging commercial or industrial uses, and/or aging multi -family developments. 3. Design Charrette. DKP will conduct a three-day design charrette to develop concepts and drawings for housing on the prototypical sites. This would offer an opportunity to engage city residents and educate them on the basic affordable 10 PES Partners for Economic Solutions housing issues and some of the strategies that could be incorporated to reduce the market gaps. 4. Charrette Report. DKP will summarize the results of the Design Charrette in a Charrette Report. 5. Briefings. PES and DKP will present the Charrette Report to the Planning Board and the City Commission. Proposed Fee You have asked for two budgets representing different levels of effort. PES and DK&P propose the following fees (including expenses) for the work products described above: Phase 1— Diagnostics $44,990 Phase 2 — Strategies $34,040 Total Fee $79,030 At a lower budget level, we would omit Tasks 1.6 and 2.2 and cut back on Task 2.1. Phase 1— Diagnostics $41,750 Phase 2 — Strategies $23,200 Total Fee $64,950 The optional tasks would have the following fees: Optional Task A — Website $4,100 Optional Tasks B — Design Options $51,800 If you find this proposal acceptable to the CRA, we will provide a contract for your signature. We will schedule the work to begin as soon as we receive the executed contract. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Lambert Advisory (Lambert) appreciates the opportunity to provide the City of South Miami, Florida (City) with a proposal for services related to a City-wide Housing Study. Specifically, the City is seeking to create a planning tool to help identify and analyze existing and projected housing needs; to develop goals, policies, land use regulations, incentive programs, and quantifiable objectives for increased housing types, tenure and affordability; and to address program needs for the construction, rehabilitation, preservation and financing of affordable housing. In this effort, Lambert Advisory (Lambert) will provide housing and economic development strategies that will lay the ground work for addressing these goals and, importantly, identify how future housing development trends are likely to change the housing market dynamics in South Miami over the several years, with specific focus of low and moderate income families and households. Eventually, we will use this analysis to define the segment and scale of housing supply and demand among these sectors in South Miami, and understand the level of demand that has not been served by the market and therefore will require some form of assistance or support. The springboard for our analyses will be the base of data published in previous reports and studies, including, Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, CRA documents, and other applicable economic, demographic, and housing market reports and studies. The overall goal of the housing needs assessment and market study will be to: • Develop an understanding the changing dynamics in the market and how these changes have impacted affordable housing needs and market rate housing demands in the region; • Assess current strategies developed by and for the City of South Miami and Miami Dade County for meeting housing needs and demands including successes and hurdles to realizing strategy objectives; 29 2 1 P a g e • Determine estimates of future housing needs and demands among a wide range of income cohorts based on projections of growth among those factors influencing demand, most notably employment and population; and, • Expand upon existing strategies and/or identify additional strategies for meeting affordable housing shortfalls and minimizing gaps between demand and supply. The following proposed scope of work provides insight into some of the methodology and resources we will employ to address what South Miami has outlined as the primary tasks for the Housing Strategy and related economic development initiatives. A. Methodology and Approach Phase 1: Inventory Economic/Demographic & Related Trend Analysis At the outset, we will develop an economic and demographic overview of the City of South Miami. and the surrounding Miami Dade County region. This will include an analysis that is directly targeted to determine how demand for housing in the future will be driven by existing or emerging trends. To the extent possible we try to define these trends by sub areas throughout the Study areas (TAZ's, planning areas, etc.) • Total employment and unemployment trends • Employment trends by sector and average wage; • Population trends and projections by age; • Migration trends by location and income profile; • Household trends and projections by household type/tenure (renter vs. owner, head of household, size of household, children); • Housing structure mix and characteristics (single family, multi -family, manufactured, vacant units by type, year built, substandard etc.); • Income trends and projections by income cohort and households including age, race and ethnicity of householders; • Compared existing trends in South Miami and the County with state and national trends as well as trends among select metropolitan areas in Florida. The demographic analysis will provide a basis for determining the extent of housing demand as well as future demand and needs by income group. This will be used to compare to the housing market analysis to be completed in other tasks. The primary source of data will be from US Census including the American Community Survey, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Bureau of Economic Analysis, Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (FDEO), University of Florida Bureau of Business Research (BEBR), OF Shimberg Center for Housing Policy, Miami Dade County Planning Department, and the City of South Miami. 30 3 1 P a g e Housing Analysis (Existing Conditions) The housing market analysis will allow us to determine those income groups being served (or not served) by the housing market, including extremely -low, very -low, low and moderate income groups as well as special needs groups (elderly, mentally and physically disabled). This analysis will be for the City of South Miami, and to the extent possible, sub -areas within the City. • Production Activity for single family, multi -family, mobile homes, etc., based on a trend analysis of ➢ Building permit trends ➢ Certificates of Occupancy ➢ Planned projects and projects in the pipeline ➢ Land use code and build -out projections • Supply Analysis ➢ Available inventory of "for -sale" homes (single family, multi family, mobile homes by price distribution including market -rate, workforce/affordable and low income ➢ Breadth and depth of sub -prime lending and foreclosures in the market. ➢ Available inventory of rental housing by type (market -rate, low income, tax -credit, etc.) covering vacancy/occupancy levels, rent levels, floor plans (bedroom and size) • Demand Analysis ➢ Trends analysis of new and existing home sales by price band, ➢ inventory of "for -sale" homes (single family, multi family, mobile homes by price distribution including market -rate, workforce/affordable and low income ➢ Breadth and depth of sub -prime lending and foreclosures in the market. ➢ Available inventory of rental housing by type (market -rate, low income) tax -credit, etc.) covering vacancy/occupancy levels, rent levels, floor plans (bedroom and size) ➢ Housing conditions among both market rate and affordable, as well as identify substandard, vacant homes by type (i.e. for -sale, second homes, substandard, etc) and identify constancies or inconsistencies that may impact future housing • Field work research to collect data from select new for -sale developments as well as existing re -sales in the market including: price points, unit size and type, and scale and sales pace of development. • Field work research to will collect information for a wide variety of rental properties, including large and small developments, low-income, subsidized and tax credit to determine: unit mix and size, occupancy rates, rental rates by unit type, required deposits, renter profiles, year built, and quality of product. • Lambert will assist the City and/or its independent planning representatives with community engagement to the extent that we will participate in up to four (4) scheduled charrettes, public meetings, 31 4 1 P a g e focus groups, Planning Board and/or Commission meetings. Importantly, the City and/or its representatives will be responsible for organizing, advertising and hosting public meetings. Based upon the information collected in both the demographic and market analysis we will be able to define the extent of the current "gap" in the housing market that is not being served. Based upon trends and projections we will also gain a perspective on how this gap will evolve over the next decade. Our primary sources of data for this section of the study will include but not be limited to: the US Census including the American Community Survey, city and county government departments, including planning, building, code enforcement, community and economic development as well as the Miami Dade County Property Appraiser for information on sales and values. Other sources would include, local builder's associations/organizations, chambers of commerce, and the local board of realtors. Phase H. Assessment We will provide the City with its assessment of the inventory/existing conditions analysis in an effective manner, including documentation and presentation that clearly identifies the research and findings. As part of this process, we will: • Meet with representatives of the City to discuss the inventory analysis, and correlate the finding with the City's current planning initiatives. • Deliver a comprehensive overview of housing conditions among both market rate and affordable, as well as identify substandard, vacant homes by type (i.e. for -sale, second homes, substandard, etc) and identify constancies or inconsistencies that may impact future housing. • Provide an assessment of the extent to which the regulatory and market conditions serves people at different income levels and special needs group. As part of this process we will: ➢ Review Land Development Codes to assess any impact on housing cost and development of affordable housing for all income levels and recommend code changes to address any barriers, ➢ Identify HUD benchmarks for median income, extremely -low, very low and low income buy size of household/family in the study areas, as it relates to including "affordable" for -sale housing and fair market rents, ➢ Survey housing providers including private sector builders, realtors and public sector housing organizations to obtain input on significant existing or projected gaps in capacity, ➢ Identify gaps between supply and demand of housing for low-income and special needs groups by type, tenure, price/rent levels and location of significant gaps ➢ Prepare map overlays showing concentrations of low-income and special needs groups in the study areas as well the locations of gaps in supply and demand of housing for these groups, and, ➢ Locate strategic sites that may be integral to either short-term or long-term housing planning, including an overview of publicly and/or privately held land suitable for mixed -income multi- family housing. 32 5 1 P a g e This task may help to define the scale of the backlog of investment that may be required to bring existing market -rate and/or affordable housing to specific areas of the market. Phase IIL• Strategy Based upon the tasks outlined above, we will prepare a Housing Strategy with the objective of determining near -term (5 to 10 year) and longer -term (10 to 20 year) needs. Importantly, the housing strategy will provide the City of South Miami with the tools necessary to identify barriers and develop a set of directed strategies for broadening affordable housing options in the City and specific study areas. Some of these strategies may be based upon the nature'of current housing funding and production programs and the market. Some of the key components to the final phase of the housing strategy will be to: • Ensure that the consulting team has adequately conducted and maintained public outreach, and that the stakeholders input has been integrated into the strategic plan; • Identifying opportunities and programs aimed at supporting market rate and affordable housing, including opportunities for encouraging mixed income and market rate developments; • Creating strategies for integrating subsidized housing within vibrant commercial corridors and supporting applicable retail to housing ratios; • Provide proposed policies to create opportunities to support and create affordable housing and recommendations to remove or reduce any barriers. • Identify new financing and funding strategies given the flexibility of existing and proposed funding programs and sources, including public/private partnerships, Housing Trust Funds, bonus programs, among others; • Define housing programs and efforts which addresses the "gap" in funding which is faced by families across the income spectrum; and, • Provide a strategy for lowering the hurdles associated with combining funding sources to best meet the unique housing needs in the region. Importantly, the housing strategy aims to comply with Miami Dade County's affordable housing requirements. Furthermore, the housing strategy will involve considerable public outreach and consistent interaction with the City and its staff. Timing & Fees We are prepared to commence our work immediately upon execution of Agreement. We will plan to complete all three phases identified above within 120 days of commencement of work, and present our initial findings 33 6 1 P a g e at an in -person meeting that will be supported by a presentation; however, there may be a need for variability based upon the timing of public outreach/meetings. Following this meeting, we will prepare a Technical Memorandum supporting our research, analysis and findings to be completed within 2 to 3 weeks thereafter. In sum, the total timeline for the completion of our work will be within 130 days from the study's commencement. Professional fees associated with the services outlined herein will total $48,000. We will invoice in four equal installments upon completion of each 30 day period following project commencement, with final invoice upon delivery of the Draft Technical Memorandum. If, at some point during the course of the work, a decision is made to discontinue, our fee will be based upon the actual professional time expended to date. Terms of Agreement Our studies, reports and analysis are subject to the following restrictions and conditions: Lambert Advisory has no obligation to update our findings and conclusions for changes in market conditions which occur subsequent to our work. Any such changes in market conditions may affect the validity of our estimates. Documents we prepare are based upon assumptions and estimates which are subject to uncertainly and variation. These estimates are often based on data obtained in interviews with third parties, and such data are not always completely reliable. In addition, we make assumptions as to the future behavior of consumers and the general economy which are highly uncertain. Therefore, while our estimates will be conscientiously prepared on the basis of our experience and the data available to us, we make no warranty of any kind that the occupancy, rates, revenues, or expenses projected will, in fact, be achieved. The scope of services does not include the engagement of Lambert as an expert witness in any litigation. Acceptance We hope this letter correctly addresses your needs.

Oravec ; Subject: Meeting 12/03/01— SMCRA Director Il ' Multi -Family Housing Study A RESOLUTION OF THE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (SMCRA) ADOPTING THE "SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA MULTI- FAMILY HOUSING STUDY" IN CONCEPT. BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS One of the SMC.ILA's most important commitments is to the provision of high quality affordable muit;.A' n-,ily housing. This commitment is evidenced by the SMCRA Plan; which calls for rehabilitation and construction of new multifamily units, and the Interlocal Agreement, which mandates the creation of new multifamily housing units. Unfortunately, current land use categories and zoning classifications severely restrict the Agency's ability to maintain this commitment. As a result, the Agency hired the Corradino Group to: ...assist it in fully achieving its housing goals ... lbyl conduct[ingl a housing study which evaluates existing land use and zoning regulations, existing conditions and the needs of the community in order to recommend appropriate amendments to existing regulations and to visually represent those recommendations. Since June, the Corradino Group has been working with citizens, developers and City, County and SMCRA staff to fulfill this objective. The attached draft plan shows that the stakeholders, working together as a team, have succeeded in meeting and exceeding the objective. The plan exhibits attractive, "do -able" designs, supported by realistic pro-formas, which would transform blight to a beautiful sight. The Study is still in draft form, and your comments would be greatly appreciated. The attached resolution only serves to adopt the Study "in concept," allowing staff to use it as the basis to propose code changes and pursue funding sources. RECOMMENDATION Your approval is recommended. 37 South Miami Redevelopment Comm'unity a dy Multifamily Housing Stu November 2001 Prepared for The City of South Miami and South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Prepared by The Corradino Group In Association with Christopher J. Brown Yoel Camayd Draft for Review a] Introduction The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (SMCRA) was created to enhance the quality of life in the 189 acre redevelopment area. As part of this mission, the SMCRA has committed to improving and upgrading the existing housing and increasing the opportunities for affordable multi -family housing units, and therefore enhancing the overall quality of life in South Miami. This report provides an analysis of infill housing and retail opportunities within the redevelopment area and recommends strategies to revitalize the district. Created in part with the staff and IN City's consultant, the Corradino Group, this report is organized into five sections that follow the process of the project: The Existing Conditions section explains the initial analysis that occurred at the beginning of the project. Once these ideas were established, the consultant was able to ask for public input, which is summarized in the Workshop Summary section. Workshop participants used examples of housing types to create a vision for their neighborhood, which is summarized under Housing Types: precedents and prototypes. The culmination of these efforts is found in the Recommendations section. The Final Summary section summarizes the new housing distribution, recommends zoning changes, and provides a list of definitions used in the financial analysis. Existing Conditions The SMCRA staff worked with the consulting firm, The Carradino Group, to prepare this study. Initially, the SMCRA staff and consultants conducted site visits to prepare a preliminary list of potential redevelopment sites. These sites were either vacant, blighted or represented an inefficient use of land. They signified an opportunity to improve existing uses, increase affordable and high quality multi -family housing, and enhance the quality of life in the neighborhood. A preliminary existing conditions analysis map using the City's geographic information system data, further helped in selecting potential sites. It illustrated the predominance of churches along 59th Place (or Church Street) as well as the location of existing multi -family housing. It also showed the neighborhood's close proximity to the Metrorail and the two neighborhood parks. Finally, the diagram illustrated activity nodes and important streets. From this, the staff and consultants were able to select eleven sites to present at a public workshop. existing conditions issues n:3 51 3_ ) __ao SMCRA EXISTING BOUNDARY MULTI -FAMILY HOUSING METRORAIL PARKS CHURCHES ACTIVITY NODES AND CONNECTIONS INDUSTRIAL ZONE 39 Workshop On August 23, 2001, a separate meeting was held for residents of the public housing complex to introduce several ideas for improving the appearance and function of their homes. On August 25,2001, the public was invited to comment on a list of eleven sites for infill housing and retail opportunities.

In this vision, Church Street functions as a prominent avenue with retail & multi- story buildings to rejuvenate the street Recommendations maximize available land to increase the total number of new housing units. Solutions value the pedestrian and efficient design and include a mix of uses. Additionally, housing recommendations have been financially structured to be affordable. The cost of land, size of units, and construction costs are all structured to enable the vision's success.

Of critical importance was obtaining community and residential support for any recommended changes. Ati residents should have the opportunity to return to the improved South Miami Gardens. In addition, by local law, all residents must be given a place to live. There are three scenarios for South Miami Gardens: new construction at 18 or 24 units per acre or complete rehabilitation with no demolition. The new construction scenarios would use similar configurations, but differ in unit size. Units would include two to four bedrocm apartments all with two baths averagng 900 to 1300 square feet, and three bbedroom townhouse with two to two and a half baths at 1250 to 1400 square feet. The less dense version would feature large units and the more dense version would use smaller units. The rehabilitation scenarios would involve redesigning the parking lots and imprWng the building facades, as well as extensive interior renovation including a/c and appliances, numbing, ane cosmetic improvements. rehabilitation scenario plan view rehabilitation scenario financial analysis recommended option New construction at 24 units per acre would create the greatest number of new units and would enable a 30% low income and 70% market tenant mix. This is the ideal ratio for balancing mixed income housing because it dilutes concentrations of low-income households for a more diverse community. This option would also allow for owners and renters to further diversify the population. The layout of the scenario is equally as compelling. It reconfigures' buildings to face the street and breaks the super block into smaller blocks to seamlessly blend into the adjacent neighborhood blocks. In this scenario South Miami Gardens becomes indistinguishable from other homes. perspectives recommended scenario financial analysis A 50 B 66 900 1,000 2/2 3/2 $81500 r�$90 5 y$9790,0 $87,30 C 12 , 1 100 4/2 $93 500 - $85 00 S6btotal_ 128 970 $85925 $8855 H Townhouses 7 ' D 20 1,250 312 $104 400 $83 52,"� E F 20 - 0 1,400 1,600 3/2 312'/ , $114906 cr4"a$8207n a>. $0fir' Sub -Total 40 1,325 "$ 109.650 $8275 Total 168 1,054 $91 574 �$86 82 � r Commercial Program Retail 4 900 %: $81,000 $90.00 1 Mk W less dense scenario financial analysis Lower Density Alternative 118 units per acre: Land Use Information Housing Information Site Area: 300,000 sq. ft.

Hardee Courts SW 64th Street between SW 59th Place and SW 59th Avenue Hardee Court is second priority for redevelopment after South Miami Gardens. Hardee Courts has the opportunity to be a jewel at the inte'rseclion of SW 640 Street and 59" Place. The concept was to build an attractive multi -family housing complex that enhanced the quality of life for residents living within the complex and was attractive to residents outside of the complex. The solution was twelve, two-story, courtyard rowhouses each with two parking spaces and small rear yards. The units range from two to three bedrooms each with two baths and vary in size from 950 to 1350 square feet. Units front the street with parking in the rear to match the higher density commercial and multi -family townhouses across the street. aerial view I.

This site has the potential to invigorate the neighborhood in conjunction with all the other planned improvements on Church Street. The strategy for Madison Square West includes twelve townhouses and eight apartments each with parking spaces. In addition, the site will have four units of retail fronting Church Street. The townhouse are all three bedrooms two and half baths ranging in size from 1250 to 1350 square feet. The apartments are all three bedroom two baths at 1100 square feet.

Central Place SW 64th Street between SW 59th Place and SW 59th Avenue Central Place is the sixth priority for redevelopment The site's size and close proximity to the Metrorail create a great opportunity for redevelopment. Though the block may be developed in phases, its ultimate potential is quite promising. This plan proposes to develop half the site for multi -family housing and the other half for retail including a mini -grocery store of 13,000 square feet. It recommends leaving the cookie factory and nursery school intact and dedicating the remaining land to housing. The residential component will include twenty- four townhouses and one duplex all of which are approximately 1350 and 1800 square feet. It will represent a unique opportunity to live in an urban environment in close proximity to public transit. Ultimately, this block will function as a transition piece between the residential developments to the north and the industrial zone to the south. financial analysis Residential Land Use Information Site Area Res: 72,650 sq. ft or 1.67 acres Lot Description Res.: 10 @ 25' x 146';10 @ 25' x 144' 2000 Assessed Value Res: $736,734 Estimated Acq.

Hardee Gateway SW 62nd Avenue and SW 64th Street Hardee Gateway was ranked seventh and is the final site being recommended for redevelopment. It is an easy project because the land is relatively small and manageable and, the property is mostly vacant and would create little displacement. This site is important because it is highly visible and could serve an attractive neighborhood gateway. The strategy for redevelopment is limited to retail and includes six attached two- story townhouses with two parking spaces. The second story helps create a more dramatic entrance, while respecting low -density character of the neighboring properties. aerial view perspective view financial analysis Land Use Information Site Area: Lot Description: 12 000 sq. ft or .275 acres 3 50' x 80' 2000 Assessed Value: $5 ,744 Estimated Acquisition: $120,000 Estimated Market Value: $72,000 Value per Lot: $24,000 ft.: Value Swelling Total Dwellin Units: $6.00 6 Total Retail Units: 0 FAR: .70 Project Density: 21.81 units per acre Parking Ratio Res.: 2.0 spaces per unit Parking Ratio Comm.: na Housing Information Housing Typology: Townhouse Average Sales Value: $125,000 Land Cost Ratio: 9.6% Unit Land Cost $12,000 Average Unit Size: 1,400 Avg.

Part of this process includes comparing the existing non -conforming lots in the redevelopment area with current zoning regulation. Sixty-one of the residential lots in the redevelopment area do not conform to the present RS-4 zoning regulations. To solve this problem new zoning standards will need to be enacted. These new standards, RS-5 (proper- ties with a lot size qual to 6,000 square feet or more, and width of 50 feet or more) and RS-6 (properties with a lot size qual to 4,000 square feet or more, and width of 50 feet or more), will enable the community to in- crease the number of units per acre, thus lowering land costs per unit. R.C.-4 US a-E designed to permit the development and conservation of sinele- family detached dwellings in suitable environments in a variety of densities to meet the varying requirements of families. Properties that are compliant with the RS-4 have a lot size equal to six thousand square feet (or more) and a frontage of sixty feet. A number of RS-4 lots were identified where the size of the unit did not meet the minimum code requirements specified for the lot size. Therefore, by allowing structures to be built on smaller lots, the RS-5 and RS-6 will enable the community to increase the density of housing units by four per acre, giving a total of 8 units per acre. This will better reflect existing housing developments and the neighborhood character. The fol- lowing two pages describe the type of single family home that could be built on the proposed RS-5 and RS-6 lots. According to the Florida Statue (chapter 163.335) the existence of non- conforming lots affects the health, safety, and welfare of the residents as well as impedes the area's growth, economic, and social development. In order for the SMCRA to facilitate the construction of new -detached single- family housing units these new land development codes would have to be incorporated into the present standards. 57 1 a A R'S-5 Residential Single Family District The RS-5, Residential Single Family District is pri- marily intended to accom- modate high -density single- family detached dwellings on lots that are 50' X 100'. RS-5 zoning would reduce the percentage of noncon- forming lots by 11%. RS-5 would allow for a one- story, two-bedroom/two bathroom single family home, equaling 1,275 square feet or a two-story four-bedroom/two bath- room home both with a driveway and garage. 7 -I I II I I II �— e-4 KITOh'.11 I. s: First Flooi O C O O O O 58 Second Floor 5 � O RS-6 Residential Single Family District The Residential Single Family (RS-6) zoning clas- sification is intended for single-family residences on lots that are 50' 80".

The successful proposer will provide the following: _ 1. Community and Housing Profile' a. Demographic characteristics: race and ethnicity, income, age, employment, population trends; b. Household characteristics: the number of existing households and housing units (by tenure); c. Housing market analysis: housing costs, rents, vacancy rates, and sales prices. 2. Housing Needs Assessment = a. Conduct a housing demand and affordability assessment and analysis throughout the City. Review and evaluate housing affordability in terms of household needs and demands, and income range, prepare affordability gap analysis for rental and owner -occupied housing. Determine household levels of'affordability and cost of producing additional housing. b. Projected needs: identify number of new units needed, by tenure, housing type, and cost to meet current needs and accommodate expected population growth and job generation, determine number of homes to be created through new construction, rehabilitation and preservation. c. Calculate gaps citywide by identifying the net gain and decline of housingwith an emphasis on household income, based on U.S. Housing and Urban Development guidelines. Estimate the demand from new and existing households over 20 years in five-year increments. Forecast the cost associated with the gap between the City's current housing stock and projected needed housing stock over 20 years in five-year increments. 3. Land Use and Policy Review a. Idention of regulatory barriers (i.e., local housing policies, land development controls, and approvafp�bcesses) that hinder the development of housing in the City. 4. Goals, Policies, and Quantifiable Objectives a. Analyze the Land Development Code to ascertain its impact on housing cost and development of affordable housing for all income levels and recommend code changes to address any barriers. b. Analyze the impact of market forces such as cost and availability of developable land. c. Estimate the number/percentage increase of units, by various income level (percent of Area Median Income), to be constructed, rehabilitated or conserved in the next twenty (20) years; In 2017-18 the City prepared an update to its Comprehensive Plan. This effort included an extensive updating of the relevant data Proposers should review this data, which is available on the City's website, and determine the extent to which additional information is needed to complete the Housing Study. d. Identify needed programs and agencies responsible for: constructing new and improving existing housing stock, promoting access to affordable housing (equal housing opportunity), and increasing capacity of residents to lower housing cost burden, build longterm equity, stabilize housing situations (through homebuyer training, rental vouchers, assistance for people with disabilities, etc.); e. Identify potential options for affordable housing bonus programs; f. Identify possible strategies related to the provision of housing for all income levels; g. Provide proposed policies to create opportunities to support and create affordable housing and recommendations to remove or reduce any barriers. Establish scalable strategies to address the housing concerns identified in the City which may include the following: • A statistically sound approach for setting targets for housing in the City and identified burden subpopulations. • Strategies for ensuring log -term affordability„_ivcluding the desirability of establishing a Housing Trust Fund. • Collaborative public and private sector strategies to rt the development of quality, affordable housing, including suggestions where c s in funding criteria could facilitate the development of increased housingfor all in - levels. • Tools and strategt`ks to promote affordable housing for moder , low, and very low-income households, including new regulatory and finance mechanisms, grants, partnerships with organizations, dedicated revenue sources, and opportunity in creating affordable housing on publicly -owned land property. • Strategies that will help increase incomes and improve economic development opportunities. h. Consider all related issues such as public participation, job/housing mix, consistency with existing planning and land use policy, protection -of ecological resources, promotion of efficient development patterns and green building. = IMt S.
