Shantay,
Thanks for preparing the referenced resolution for my signature. Please note that that I have not been presented all of
the amendments to the Plan as discussed at the meeting. It is my recollection that a few projects were to be specifically
added to the Plan and other changes discussed at the meeting (including those made by Mayor Stoddard) were to be
made. It is probably not significant that the attachment was not finalized, since by a subsequent vote, the City
Commission sunsetted the CRA.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION
On November 15, 2018, the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (South Miami CRA) retained KCI
Technologies, Inc. to prepare a draft community redevelopment plan that outlines and identifies development and
redevelopment needs of the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), as well as specific projects to address those
needs. The Plan that follows gives a brief overview of the South Miami CRA, its current redevelopment projects, and
develops action items to foster development along with implementable strategies that allow the South Miami CRA
to move its redevelopment program forward. This plan follows statutory requirements and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan for the City of South Miami.
PURPOSF nF THE m iTH � ! 11 rnq
The South Miami CRA is a depend entspecial district, created in response to a need for comprehensive redevelopment
within the City's community redevelopment areas. The purpose of the South Miami CRA is "To foster economic
development, increase tax base growth, and provide quality affordable housing, by capitalizing on our prime
location and exceptional population."
In December 1997, through Ordinance No. 12-97-1633, and following requisite approvals by the Board of
County Commissioners, the City Commission of the City of South Miami established the South Miami CRA
and Community Redevelopment Area. The CRA uses funds collected from the incremental increase in property
tax collections within the Redevelopment Area for improvement projects within the CRA aimed at attracting private
investment. The South Miami CRA was extended by the Board of County Commissioners on May 3, 2005. The
South Miami CRA is scheduled to sunset in 2020. Since its inception, the South Miami CRA has completed various
improvements including water and sewer connections, sidewalk installation and improvements, streetscapes,
beautification projects, approximately 100 home rehabilitations, new housing projects, scholarships, and various
other projects that have made the area an attractive place to live. In 2020, the South Miami CRA is expected to
complete Madison Square, a mixed -use development that will return commercial activity to Church Street. This
project is named after the City of Madison, Florida, the birthplace of the area's founding father, Marshall Williamson.
PROGRAMS, ACTION ITEMS, AND PLANS
Currently, the South Miami CRA uses a number of initiatives that help to achieve the goals in the areas of increased
high -quality affordable housing, commercial building fa4ade improvements, blight eradication, and economic
development. The current South Miami CRA programs include theAffordable Housing Homeowner's
Assistance Program, Commercial Fagade Rehabilitation Program, Land Acquisition and W
Disposition Program, Parks Improvement Program, Residential Rehabilitation y..
Program, Small Business Assistance Program, and Start-up Business and a"
Community Service Program. In addition to these existing programs, action
items are laid out to guide future programs and strategies that will
successfully revitalize the CRA. In addition to the foundation ofexisting
yy
programs and forward -thinking action items, there are necessary - j r.
studies and plans that will ensure all programs and action iterr
are used cogently and applied judiciously to maximize their
impact. These studies include an Affordable Housing Analysis,
Economic Development Plan, and a Street Ranking Study.
First City Hall - The Second Store From the Right (1927)
C'-DNSISTENCY WITH THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Florida Statutes require that the Community Redevelopment Plan be consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan. In order to remain current, the Community Redevelopment Plan may have to be amended when programs are
changed, or as new programs and projects are proposed. Based on the review and approval ofthis plan by the Cityof
South Miami Planning Department, the Community Redevelopment Plan will meet the criteria for consistency with
the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, this Plan was reviewed by the City of South Miami Planning and Zoning Board
to determine if the Plan was consistent with the City of South Miami Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Zoning
Board met on September 10, 2019 and concurred that the Community Redevelopment Plan was in conformity with
the City of South Miami's Comprehensive Plan.
As the Community Redevelopment Plan seeks to aid the City in realizing the Comprehensive Plan, the South Miami
CRA is able to seek and support adjustments to the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the Plan should be flexible
enough to aide in the Comprehensive Plan if it changes in the future.
CURRENT SOUTH MIAMI CRA PROGRAMS
The South Miami CRA has established several programs and initiatives. These programs, described on the next page,
provide the following improvements within the CRA:
High Quality Affordable Housing
Improve Commercial Building Fa4ades
» Eradicate Blight
Economic Development Opportunities
15
Affordable Housing Homeowner's'
Assistance Program
The Affordable Housing Homeowner's Assistance
Program is intended to provide much needed "gap"
funding assistance to potential homeowners to facilitate
purchase new South Miami CRA-initiated housing.
In conjunction with other Countywide "gap" financing
programs, home purchases are tailored to be affordable to
"low" to "moderate" income residents based
on Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) affordability guidelines.
Commercial Facade Rehabilitation Program \
The Commercial Fa4ode Rehabilitation Program is intended to improve
commercial building conditions in the CRA, with the anticipated result of
further strengthening and growing economic development.
Land Acquisition and Disposition Program
The Land Acquisition and Disposition Program is intended to eliminate blighted conditions in the
CRA. As part of the program, blighted properties are purchased by the Agency, unsafe structures are subsequently
demolished, and title issues are cleansed. Purchased properties are then conveyed to reputable commercial and
affordable housing developers to complete development in the CRA.
Parks Improvement Program
Through the Parks Improvement Program, numerous capital improvement projects have been completed at each
park within the CRA.
Residential Rehabilitation Program
The Residential Rehabilitation Program is intended to assist in improving the physical conditions of the existing CRA
residential housing stock. It has been designed to address single-family, multi -family, and housing complex needs.
Small Business Assistance Program
The Small Business Assistance Program is intended to assist in increasing the economic development potential in
the CRA. The program is designed to provide assistance for business start -us costs associated with new business
development.
Start-up Business and Community Service Program
The Start-up Business and Community Service Program includes a comprehensive building rehabilitation process
of a formerly "blighted" unsafe structure. Since the completion of the Mobley building, the South Miami CRA was
able to provide new office space to eligible start-up businesses and not -for -profit community service providers at
governmental established rental rates. The Program assists in providing economic development opportunities, as
well as providing vital community services and related amenities. At the time of the writing of this plan, this building
is the subject of a pending disposition process which is anticipated to be completed in 2020 for purposes allowed
under chapter 163, PartIII and the current South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan. 16

MADISON SQUARE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Madison Square is a South Miami CRA mixed -use redevelopment project intended to create an anchor for the north
end of the Church Street and to help simulate revitalization efforts in the area. This will construct Very Low -Income
anc Low -Income residential units and affordable and proprietary ground floorcommercial space.
The Madison Square redevelopment project has overcome several obstacles, including inconsistencies between the
Zoning and Future Land Use designations, as well as getting all of the properties under City ownership, before it was
approved by the City Commission. Once approval was obtained by the City Commission, the land was transferred to
the developer, who then successfully received construction permits. Upon obtaining final approval from the City, the
developer has begun construction on the project.

ACTION ITEM A:
SUPPORT AFFORDABLE AND WORKFORCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
VISION STATEMENT
To facilitate the development of units that are affordable to different income levels, in beautiful buildings which are
near jobs, educational facilities, and healthcare. And, within close proximity to public transit and public amenities.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES BEST PRACTICES
Affordable housing will go beyond the CRA's already
planned public housing developments. In the future,
affordable units should be mixed with market -rate
units. Inclusionary housing polices that incentivize
developers will potentially lead to successful private
development within the CRA. Residents of the CRAwill
seethe elevated quality of living, at affordable prices,
that go beyond the CRA's current affordable housing
stock.
Opportunities exist to provide a mixture of quality,
affordable housing unitsthat are attainableto different
income levels, through infill and redevelopment,
particularly within the Hometown District and along
the U.S. 1 corridor, surrounding the Metrorail Station
and the Transit Oriented Development District (TODD).
o m i F L -Located in Little Havana, Amistod serves the community with
89 affordable units in a beautiful 7-story building.

ACTION ITEM B:
IMPLEMENT MIXED -USE DEVELOPMENT
VISION STATEMENT
To implement mixed -use development to activate corridors throughout the CRA and encourage use from residents,
office workers, and visitors.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES
Mixed -use development is already activating South
Miami's streets with new units for existing residents
and newcomers alike. These buildings are also very
popular in neighboring Coral Gables and all-over South
Florida. Mixed -use development has the benefit of
adding more amenities and conveniences into one site.
Havingmultiple uses in one building, in a neighborhood
of mixed -use, will encourage walking, biking, and
transit use instead of driving. Comparable anticipated
outcomes can be seen just north of South Miami near
the Douglas Road MetroRail Station.

ACTION ITEM C:
FACILITATE PUBLIC -PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
VISION STATEMENT
To explore opportunities to workwith developers and businesses to successfully create infrastructure and recreational
opportunities that will ultimately be beneficial to the stakeholders within the CRA.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES
Opportunities exist for the South Miami CRA and the
City of South Miami to enter into a Public -Private
Partnership (P3) with a private developer. Through a
P3, the parties involved could collaborate and develop
open and green spaces that would be accessi ble to the
gereral public.
By entering into a P3, opportunities exist for this
project to increase the following:
Property Values;
Pedestrian Connectivity;
Address under-utilized properties;
Public Art and Green Spaces;
Retail and Commercial Revenues; and
Social Interactions and Community Building

ACTION ITEM D:
REPURPOSE UNDERUTILIZED SITES
VISION STATEMENT
To repurpose underutilized sites within the CRA through adaptive re -use and redevelopment into mixed -use
properties to support the needs of the residents within the CRA, contribute to the community's sense of place, and
increase the CRA's tax base.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES
Repurposing underutilized sites within the CRA would
open up new opportunities for growth, connectivity,
and economic development. Through adaptive reuse,
a developer could save money on building materials
and new construction. Additionally, revitalizing and
reusing an older building would help to retain the
unique character and charm of the structure within
the community.
An opportunity exists to transform the Post Office
building, located just north of the Miami Metrorail
Station, into a mixed -use development. Because of its
close proxi mity to the station, this site could maximize
its potential, and contribute to the South Miami CRA's
and City's goals fortransit oriented development.

ACTION ITEM E:
IMPLEMENT STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
VISION STATEMENT
To create a sense of place through innovative streetscape designs that enhance the user experience.
BENEFITS / ANTIC!PnTEO OUTCOMES
The Community Redevelopment Area could achieve
the above vision by first establishing a street
hierarchy, based on the following: each street's Level
of Service (LOS); existing number of travel lanes
and roadway width, connection to major points of
interest, transportation routes, and bike paths; and
the surrounding context and uses. Once the streets
have been categorized, a theme and branding should
be established, which would serve as a guiding
principle when selecting appropriate streetscape and
landscape elements. Moreover, minimizing adverse
conflicts and safety hazards along the sidewalks,
including obstructions by utility boxes and power
lines, overgrown landscaping, and cracked concrete,
as identified along sidewalks throughout South
Miami, would better support the vision statement.
The aforementioned strategies would enhance the
existing public realm and help create a sense of
place within South Miami, ultimately attracting more
businesses and users, and aid with combatting blight.
Opportunities exist to unify and enhance the
streetscapes throughout the CRA. However, primary
focus should be given to enhancing the streetscapes
throughout the Hometown District as well as those
along South Red Road, Sunset Drive, SW 62nd Avenue,
SW 6411 Street, and SW 591 Place. In particular, an
emphasis on adding shade trees and public amenities
should be given.

UPGRADE PARKING FACILITIES
VISION STATEMENT
To upgrade parking facilities to be flexibly designed facilities which can accommodate various uses and modes of
travel, incorporate smart and sustainable technologies, are safe and easy -to -navigate, and are eye-catching.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES BEST PRACTICES
Reimagining and redeveloping many of the CRA's
existing parking lots and facilities into active,
flexible, and innovative spaces would greatly benefit
the local community and add value. Encouraging
parking facilities which are multi -level, mixed -use
developments with flexible spaces would not only
help to consolidate land and improve connectivity,
but they would also help reduce South Miami's total
percentage of asphalt surfacing - a major contributor
of the heat island effect. Moreover, incorporating
dynamic wayfind i ng signage with real-time updates of
the parking availability within a parking facility assists
with directing users to available parking spaces.
Several surface parking lots within the CRA, which
are currently fenced off, under-utilized, and have
poor layouts, could better serve the community. For
example, if parking lots, such as the downtown bank
lot, were to be opened up and reimagined as spaces
with flexible uses, such as a farmer's market on the
weekends, then they could maximize the use of the
space. This could potentially increase each lot's
revenue, attract new businesses and visitors, and
keep the street level active.
Additionally, opportunities exist alongthe commercial
corridors to temporarily or permanently transform on -
street parking spaces into parklets. These miniature
parks and recreational spaces, usually installed on
one or several on -street parking spaces, are a great
and easy way to provide a public space for passsersby.
Ideally, parking structures should be located within
the Transit Oriented Development District (TODD) and
Hometown District.

ACTION ITEM G:
IMPLEMENT SAFE, INCLUSIVE, AND COMPLETE STREETS
VISION STATEMENT
To implement improvements that support the various modes of transit, and provide connectivity between
neighborhoods, businesses, and points of interest by incorporating Crime Prevention through Environmental Design
(CPTED), Complete Streets, New Urbanism, and Vision Zero design strategies and principles.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES BEST PRACTICES
Implementing Crime Prevention through Environmental
Design (CPTED), Complete Streets, New Urbanism, and
Vision Zero design strategies and principles within the
CRA would improve safety for all users. These design
strategies encourage more walking and bicycling.
These design strategies also improve connectivity
between businesses, neighborhoods, transit routes,
and points of interest. Moreover, they would support
the CRN's economic strength by creating convenient
access to its businesses.
Serving as the major thoroughfares and access routes
within downtown, Sunset Drive, South Dixie Highway/
U.S. Highway 1, SIN 62nd Avenue, SIN 64th Street, and
SW 68th Street have great potential to be redesigned
to support the needs of the community.
The existing bike lanes along portions of SIN 62nd
Avenue, as well as a portion of Red Road, could be
extended and further designed to include a buffered
zone and enhanced surface paint.

IMPROVE SAFETY CROSSING U.S.1
VISION STATEMENT
To improve the safety of crossing U.S.1 with multi -mod a I improvements to facilitate the safe movement of pedestrians.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES
Improving the safety and convenience of low -speed
trips across U.S. 1 would reduce the physical division
between the two sides presented by the U.S.1 corridor.
Installing a pedestrian bridge over the U.S. i corridor
could be a safer, more appealing and inviting
alternative for pedestrians needing to get from one
side of the corridor to the other without competing
with automobiles. Opportunities exist to create an
iconic pedestrian bridge which can also serve as a
point of interest, a landmark within the CRA and City
of South Miami, an extension of the South Miami
portion of the upcoming Miami Underline Linear Park,
and even a piece of public art.
Incorporating Crime Prevention through Environmental
Design (OPTED), Complete Streets, New Urbanism, and
Vision Zero design strategies and principles would
improve safety for all users. Also, addressing the
intersections and access for veh icles can capture more
shoppingtrips in the area by those who are otherwise
just passing through.

ENHANCE WAYFINDING SIGNAGE
VISION STATEMENT
To enhance the user experience and connections throughout South Miami's community with well -crafted, p redictable,
accessible, and legible wayfinding signage.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES
Wayfinding signage plays a crucial role in effective
community placemaking and user experience. It
not only provides the ability to orient and navigates
oneself within the community or district, but it
also highlights interesting and culturally significant
destinations to explore and even aids in creating a
sense of place.
To support the intended identity and branding
throughout downtown South Miami, and helping to
define a sense of place, the wayfinding signage should
have a unified color and material palette, be scaled
appropriately based on surrounding context,be placed
in easily identifiable locations, and be designed to be
flexible enough to support anticipated changes within
downtown South Miami, such as the upcoming Miami
Underline Linear Park project.
Opportunities exist along the primary roads bisecting
downtown South Miami, such as Sunset Drive, South

IMPROVE SOMI MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
VISION STATEMENT
To consolidate various city services into a SoMi Municipal Complex to create an inviting and engaging center for
residents and employees.
BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES
Op oortunities exist to consolidate several of the South
Miami CRA and City's departments and services onto a
sin gle building and/or site. Consolidating the various
departments onto a single site would provide many
benefits, including allowing for better coordination
between City and South Miami CRA staff, as well as
provide the public with easier and more convenient
access to the various services. Additionally, this
increases strategic partnerships between municipal
staff and local businesses, frees up under-utilized and/
or city -owned parcels to be redeveloped, and helps to
support the image of the City.
Including ground floor retail, green spaces, and
a community gathering center with flexible
programming allows for better integration with the
community. Moreover, a well -designed community
gathering space contributes to community
placemaking and a greater sense of civic pride.

GUIDELINES FOR REDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
Often required to react to ever -changing conditions, the South Miami CRA should have some involvement in new
projects during the course of its existence. This Community Redevelopment Plan, therefore, must provide the South
Miami CRA flexibility to adjust to market and political considerations as they occur without impeding its ability
to continue moving the redevelopment program forward by providing such flexibility while complying with the
provisions of §163, Part III, Florida Statutes. This Plan is not intended to be a major redirection of the South Miami
CRNs work plan, but ratherto offer the chance to adjust to the changing conditions.
The followingwi II startwith strategies that will affect multiple projects (i.e. community benefitstrategy), a presentation
of specific projects, and will conclude with strategies of a more general nature (i.e.job creation, business assistance,
affordable housing). This order of presentation is not to indicate any orderof priority or preference. Prioritization of
projects/strategies is indicated through a policy of the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Board, and
through its annual budget.
42
35
Implementation of a Community Benefits Strategy
In any project assisted by the South Miami CRA, with the exception of projects in whi<
undertaking on its own, or while working with a non-profit to provide workforce, low, or
the South Miami CRA can seek to obtain a package of community benefits from the project owner or developer.
Community benefits can ensurethat outside investments madewithin the boundaries ofthe CRA are also investments
in its people. The benefits would include assurances that the existing CRA residents/businesses will receive value
from the new project in the form of housing and employment opportunities. Additionally, the South Miami CRA could
fund economic activities that will spur investment and redevelopment in the CRA. Community benefits could include,
but not be limited to, the following:
1. The inclusion of an appropriate amount of below -market rate units. These units may be provided at rates for
workforce housing (less than 120%AMI) or for low-income residents (less than 80%AMI). This would ensure
the neighborhood will retain its affordability, reduce the potential far existing residents to be displaced, and
afford area workers an opportunity to live near where they work. The target workforce for these types of
units are often teachers, clerical workers, entry-level professionals, and other service workers. This could
also include other housing options for post -secondary students with limited incomes.
2. The South Miami CRA should also strive to ensure these projects maintain appropriate urban design
standards that are consistent with the vision forthe CRA as a complete and active, pedestrian -friendly, urban
neighborhood. To this end, the South Miami CRA should be a part of the review of any project and encourage
components such as, but not limited to, the following, when appropriate:
a. Architectural components and placement of these components in a mannerthat enhances building/
development functionality and appearance.
b. Activated ground floor uses (including the street side of structured parking)
c. Structured parking that includes parking for the general public
d. Public plazas or other gathering spaces included within the project
e. Pedestrian-friendlystreetscapes that include:
i. Wide sidewalks to allow for pedestrian use and room for activation such as for a sidewalk cafe.
ii. Shade trees
iii. Benches
iv. Trash receptacles
v. Pedestrian level -lighting on appropriately designed light poles
vi. Wayfindingsignage
vii. ADA-compliant hardscaping
viii. Bike and scooter parking or docking stations
3. Each project should provide other benefits that may include:
a. A percentage of construction jobs earmarked for residents of the CRA
b. Shared parking with availability for public parking
c. Availability of housing units to residents living within the CRA (especially below -market -rate units)
d. Availability of small retail space at below -market rents for local "mom and pop" retail businesses
owned by residents living within the CRA.
e. General commitments of support of the community which may include but not be limited to:
i. Joining or otherwise supporting local non-profit agencies providing services within the CRA.
ii. Encouraging employees, residents, businesses to volunteer for local causes
Providing forjob fairs, internships, or other on-the-job training where appropriate.
43
Public Improvements in Conjunction with Private Projects
Improvements in the public space and in areas of private property that can be utilized by the general public (parking,
plazas, sidewalks, etc.) should be encouraged as community benefits to be provided by the developer/owner of any
project. When such projects are not undertaken by the private developer, or they serve a larger neighborhood, and
whether projects are undertaken with South Miami CRA assistance or without, there may be a need for the South
Miami CRA to invest in infrastructure around a project, or in limited instances within the project. The South Miami
CRA should consider, and possibly invest in, improvements to publicly -owned facilities should they be reasonable
and if they are improvements to appearance, functionality, or an overall increase in quality -of -life forthose residing,
visiting, or doing business in the CRA. These improvements may include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. Streetscapes which may include one or more of the following:
Trees
Furniture - benches, trash receptacles, etc.
Bus shelters and benches
Rideshare and mass transit drop-off/pull-outs
Wayfindingsignage (both pedestrian and vehicular level)
Informational kiosks
Pedestrian -level street lighting
Additional overall street lighting
Wide, pedestrian -friendly sidewalks
Bike lanes
» Other such elements within the public space
2. Public gathering spaces
Public plazas
Small green spaces
Pocket parks
3. Other Infrastructure improvements and upgrades (based on needs identified in the Assessment of Need and
Finding of Necessity)
Sidewalks
» Streets
Bike lanes/paths
» Multi -purpose paths/corridors

Other such improvements or upgrades that may enhance the area and/or provide for a better quality of
life for residents, visitors, and area business customers.
�t
H: yActivities for the CRA to Undertake
Goals
Encourage a minimum of 10%of all multi -family housing units within the CRA, at below -market rates for
affordability to the workforce, entry-level, or otherwise lower -income families and individuals, as well as a
student population.
Goal
Foster a close working relationship with Miami -Dade County to redevelop the property at the MetroRail
station to the greater benefit of the public.
Enhance street -level activity through ground -floor retail uses and pedestrian -friendly streetscape amenities.
» Increase public parking opportunities both on public and private land.
Enhance safety along key pedestrian routes from parking areas and retail/restaurant areas.
Ensure that all streets and sidewalks are free of deficiencies that impair their appearance and function.
Construct pedestrian -friendly streetscapes throughout the CRA.
Goal
Seek community benefits from developer(s).
Implement financing of any necessary public improvements to foster redevelopment.
Increase job opportunities for residents of the CRA and possibly for those of adjacent neighborhoods.
Construct streetscapes in commercial, mixed -use, and high -density residential areas that encourage
activation.
Work closely with the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department to ensure modernization of water and
wastewater facilities within the CRA.
» Work with the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department to ensure sufficient water and wastewater capacity
continues to exist for anticipated projects within the CRA.
Evaluate the potential to underground utilities where they currently exist overhead and undertake such
projects when found to be cost -beneficial.
Evaluate the potential for all infrastructure when undertaking roadway reconstruction or streetscapes, such
as undergrounding utilities and upgrading and increasing capacity of existing underground facilities.
45
38
Parks and Greenspace
It is imperative that additional greenspace is acquired for the potential new residential units in the CRA. Existing
parks will need to be upgraded and new parks constructed to provide for the demand for outdoor open space for
recreation, relaxation, and special events.
Key Activities for the South Miami CRA to Undertake
Upgrade and encourage more activation of existing parks within the CRA.
Upgrade and ensure maintenance of existing greenspaces within the CRA.
Utilize small publicly -owned spaces as greenspaces with limited benches and landscaping.
>) Incorporate the upcoming Miami Underline Linear Park project as an asset to the CRA.
Housing Affordability
It should be noted that housing affordability is one of the key programs for the South Miami CRA to undertake. A key
tenant of community building is that the most complete communities, those that provide the best environment for
their residents, are those that contain people of mixed incomes. When residents in all phases of life, and those with
varying types of employment from entry-level professionals to food servers, to teachers, to doctors, and to CEOs
of Fortune 500 companies can all live in one area, the community thrives. In today's housing market, however, it is
particularly difficultto maintain and expand workforce housing (units for households earning up to 120%ofAMl) and
lower -income housing (units for households earning below 80% of AMI).
Given these conditions, the South Miami CRA needs to find ways to ensure housing remains affordable for
all income levels within the CRA, but particularly for those households meeting workforce or lower -income
guidelines. It is also important to make sure that housing is available for families.
Two major regulatory methods can be deployed to provide affordable housing - Inclusionary Zoning and Density
Bonuses.
Inclusionary Zoning is a valuable tool the City has already implemented, and will be a valuable asset to
the CRA moving forward. Inclusionary Zoning mandates that each new housing project provides a certain
percentage of units for households making below a pre -established income level. While utilization of this
method ensures a certain number of affordable units, it could have an effect that increases cost to the
other residents of the project, because they would have to make up for revenue lost by providing the lower -
cost units rather than selling or renting those units at market rates. Additionally, such programs are much
more successful when the housing market is booming, and costs exceed revenues by a greater percentage.
Therefore, continued effective use of Inclusionary Zoning in the South Miami CRA requires continual
monitoring to ensure it remains cost-effective for the housing provider to continue to develop.
Density Bonuses provide an increase in allowed dwelling units per acre, floor area ratio, or height, and is the
most common form of incentive used by inclusionary housing programs.
Ell
There are also several programmatic methods the South Miami CRA can employ to increase the supply of affordable
housing. All of the following methods will have the effect of lowering housing costs and can be implemented by the
South Miami CRA:
To assist For -Profit Housing, the CRA could:
Acquire land and sell or give it to a developer at below -market cost.
Pay some portion of development costs.
Provide a direct subsidy in the form of a rebate equal to a percentage of the increases in taxes paid over
a defined period of time after completion if affordable units are provided, if authorized by law.
Undertake projects in the public realm that might otherwise be the responsibility of the developer (i.e.
streetscapes, sidewalks, roadway improvements)
Grant funds to assist in the rehabilitation of an existing housing project.
Provide a liaison person knowledgeable in the development approval and building permit processes in the
Cityto shepherdingthe projectthrough development approvals in an efficient manner.
To assist or partner with Non -Profit Housing, providers the South Miami CRA could:
Provide a grant to the non-profitto provide the affordable housing
Create a Community Land Trust that would own the land upon which any such for -sale housing would be
built. With such an entity, the land trust would continue to own the land that would then be eligible to apply
for an exemption from property taxes. The building on the land would remain taxable, however.
k- yActivities for the South Miami CRA to Undertake
Increase the supply of affordable homes for lower -income and workforce households as a percentage of all
units within the CRA.
Devise and implementprogramsto assisthousing providers in creating affordable unitsfortarget households.
Considerthe creation of a Community Land Trustto own the land upon which affordable units exist.

Create and implement programs to assisttarget income households purchase or rent within their means.
Create and implement programs to assist target income households to rehabilitate, and/or maintain units
they currently own.
Seek new and creative ways to reduce the cost of providing affordable housing.
FUNDING SOURCES
» The South Miami CRA will be the main funding source for specific programs and auxiliary funding source for
other programs within the CRA.
Additional funding may be obtained from the City, County, the State of Florida, Federal Agencies, Financial 47
Institutions, Developers, Non -Profit Development Corporations, Seed and Venture Funds,Angel Investors, and

CRA MARKET ANALYSIS 5
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
MARKET ANALYSIS SUMMARY
A Market Analysis was conducted of the South Miami CRA, which focused on the ability to add value to the community.
The report also included an analysis of vacant parcels and those suitable for redevelopment based on underuse or
deteriorated structures, a review of the market conditions that support redevelopment, and the ability to extend
services throughout the South Miami CRA. To determine the Market Area for the South Miami CRA community, a
"drive time" scenario was used to identify the distance that can be driven within a specific time frame. The market
conditions were also reviewed, in order to determine sales conducted within the Study Area. The analysis was
used to measure the amount of business imported into the South Miami CRA. Additionally, a Demand Analysis was
conducted, which projected demand for various product types for both short-term and long-term time frames. The
projection of demand included residential, commercial, office, and other uses.
The full Market Analysis Report can be read in Appendix B of this Plan.
T�v 1N1rRFMF11T FINIANGING
The growth estimate for the South Miami CRA is 4% per year. Although, in any given year, economic forces may either
accelerate or decelerate the growth in Taxable Value, a growth of4/o is appropriate for the total projection period to
account for these oscillations.
These projections also assumed that the growth of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) will follow the pattern that has
historically occurred. However, it is important to note that all TIF agreements with Miami -Dade County are subject to
negotiation. One important issue is the SMART Plan for transportation. The SMART Plan includes TIF for areas
that surround the major transportation nodes such as the MetroRail stations. A portion of the South
Miami CRA boundary is within this zone and the County may desire to negotiate all or a portion
of the TIF. dd
Background growth will average 4% per year
» New Projects:
Alta (6750 Sunset)
Shops at Sunset Place
» SoMi Station (approval controlled by the County)
» HR Acquisition (property adjacent to existing office
development)
» South Miami Hospital properties (vacant land in areas of
multi -family residential)
» City tax rate of4.3000 mills, County tax rate of 4.6669 mills
» 5% of incremental taxes retained by the two taxing
authorities

Table 1 is based on standard procedures of growth and new projects that are anticipated within the South Miami
CRh. The City of South Miami's Planning Department was consulted to determine what projects are on the horizon.
In addition, vacant land was examined to determine what type of development could occur on these properties. The
tim ng forthe anticipated development was based on where the project was in the approval process bythe City.

163.362 IR BOUNDARIES
The CRA has grown to include a new portion since the approval of Ordinance No. 12-97-1633 (1999). Properties
between the southern portion of SW 72nd Street / Sunset Drive and the southern portion of SW 74th Street were
added to the CRA. The inclusion of the downtown area allows for the attraction of investment into downtown South
Miami, enticing new businessesto unleased storefronts, and increasing usage of underutilized surface parkingspaces.
These new properties create new economic opportunities for residents living in the CRA, especially the underserved
population.
The full Boundary Description can be read in Appendix A of this document.
163.362121: ZONING
South Miami's zoning regulations set limitations on building type, size, height, number, and proposed use and is
codified as Article III in the South Miami Land Development Code. There are sixteen (16) zoning districts found in the
CRA out of a total of twenty-nine (29) zoning use districts within the City of South Miami. The district includes single-
family, multi -family, office, retail, institutional, recreational, light industrial, and transit -oriented development uses.
Planned Unit Development is allowed in zones specified in South Miami's Land Development Code. Section 20-3.5
regulates the dimensional requirements of zoning districts in the City. Table 2 summarizes each zoning category
found in the CRA and shows each zoning type's maximum height and density requirements if applicable.
Permitted uses are regulation in Section 20-3.3 of the city's Land Development Code. The light industrial zoning
is located in the TODD near the South Miami Metro -Rail Station and allows various manufacturing and intensive
uses such as the manufacturing of apparel, cabinets, food, furniture, and other items. Public Parks and Playgrounds
are permitted in most zoning districts except in TODD, Hospital, and various other districts. Home occupation is
permitted as a use in the residential districts listed in Table 3. The RM-18 and RM-24 Multi -Family districts allow for
Community Residential Home usage with up to seven or more residents, while the RS-3 and RS-4 districts allow up to
six residents in Community Residential Homes.
In the TODD MU-5 and MU-6 zoning districts, inclusionary Zoning ensures new housing projects provide a certain
level of units for households making below a pre -established income level.

163.362131: NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT ELEMENT
Relocation
Pursuant to Florida Statute 163.362(7), the South Miami CRA is required to, "Provide assurances that there will be
replacement housing for the relocation of persons temporarily or permanently displaced from housing facilities
within the community redevelopment area". Residents may need to relocate from current affordable housing stock
from the South Miami affordable housing development while the area is redeveloped into improved affordable
housing units. A relocation plan shall be made bythe South Miami CRA before even one person is displaced from the
aforementioned community.
Traffic Circulation
The proposed projects that will be built in the CRA are intended to reduce the amount oftraffic in the city by creating
a more walkable environment. The proposed projects and Future Land Use in the CRA encourages a compact,
walkable development pattern. The future development of South Miami will include more mixed -use and Transit -
Oriented Development in the TODD and other appropriate districts within the CRA. The development pattern of the
CRA will encourage mass transit usage, therefore reducing road traffic.
Public transit options that residents and visitors are able to utilize are the Miami MetroRail, which has a station that
is located within the CRA, and the MetroBus to connect to the rest of the County. South Miami CRA funds could also
be used to supplement some of the proposed improvements in the South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan.
Improvements within the CRA will give residents the opportunity to drive less and use other modes of transportation
ins-ead of their personal automobile.
Environmental Quality
The redevelopment activities of the Community Redevelopment Plan will add special programs and funding to
ensure environmental quality. In addition to drainage, sewer hookups, and other more traditional redevelopment
programs, theAgencywill create a fund and programsto addressthe more serious environmental clean-up problems
associated with the re -use of contaminated sites. Without funds allocated specifically for environmental clean-up, it
may not be financially feasible to redevelop contaminated sites when future opportunities arise.
Availability of Community Facilities and Services
The South Miami CRA aims to provide services that are oriented towards improvements in the economic prospects
and public life of its residents. The community has expressed a desire for certain public facilities such as a
free center for teenagers. The CRA community also desires a training/apprenticeship program
forjobs, financial and entrepreneurship training, and legal support/incentives to keep
ownership of property in the community.
Population
The J.R.E Lee Educational Center and Somerset Academy (Elementary
and Middle) are presently the only schools and or educational
facilities located in the redevelopment area. The J.R.E Lee
Educational Center is a SPED Service Center, a facility that
provides Exceptional Student Education support services
to multiple schools in the Southern portion of Miami Dade
County. The Somerset Academy opened in the 2009-2010
school year as a free charterschool.

The definition of the Market Area will be the "Drive Time" analysis which establishes an area based on the distance a
person can drive within a specified period of time. For the South Miami area, a "Drive Time" of 15 minutes has been
established to identify the distance people are willing to travel for basic services. The "Drive Time" is established
based on a central point within the CRA area.
Exhibit 1 illustrates the 15 minute "Drive Time" area with the central point of the CRA as its focus

MARKET CONDITIONS
Gap Analysis
Gap Analysis refers to a determination of the difference between the number of goods and services demanded by
the residents of the Market Area and the business conducted by the establishments within that same area. Where
the copulation demands more goods and services than the local businesses provide, they must travel outside of the
Market Area. The industry considers this difference an Opportunity Gap where the Market Area could support more
businesses in the selected industries.
Env ronics Analytics was consulted to determine the Opportunity Gap that may exist for the South Miami Area. The
gap identifies which types of businesses could be supported.
Due to the location of significant commercial areas along Dixie Highway, South Red Road, and Sunset Drive, the
Market Area only has a limited Opportunity Gap. The entire area has a Supply that is over $2.9 billion higher than the
demand.
However, certain industries do have an Opportunity Gap and can provide a focus of additional attraction for new
bus ness. These industries are:
Lawn and Garden stores
Hardware stores
Convenience stores
Baked Goods Stores
General Merchandise Stores
Electronics Stores
Cafeterias
Ice cream Shops
Doughnut Shops
Snack Stores
Labor Force and Business Inventory
The Labor Force is determined based on the amount of the population over 16 years of age. Persons under that age
are not considered participants in the potential Labor Force. Statistics for the CRA area and the Market Area were
obtained from Environics Analytics forthe current time frame. Appendix Table 1 presents the labor force statistics;
Appendix Table 2 presents the numberof commercial businesses and employment; and Appendix Table 3 presents
the retail spending by classification in the Market Area.

Vacancies
There are almost no boa rded-up com mercial properties in the CRA. The best method to examine vacancies is through
the identification of space currently for lease or sale. There are 13 properties for lease in the CRA and range in size
from 1,000 to 6,000 square feet. This represents a small percentage of the total available space. Appendix Table 4
b aw, illustrates the lease rates in the CRA.
