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. PURPOSE OF THE SOUTH MIAMI CRA The South Miami CRA is a dependent special district, created in responseto 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 r equisite approvals by the Board of County Commissioners , the City Commission of the City of South Miami established the South Miami eRA 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 fac;ade improvements, blight eradication, and economic development. The currentSouth Miami CRAprograms i ncludetheAffordable Housing Homeowner's Assistance Program, Commercial Fac;ade Rehabilitation Program, Land Acquisition and Disposition Program, Parks Improvement Program, Residential Rehabilitation Program, Small Business Assistance Program, and Start-up Business and 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 of existing programs and forward-thinking action items, there are necessary studies and plans that will ensure all programs and action items 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. 7 First City Hall -The ·Second :stcire .F~om th~·Right (1927) .. .~-~.-.:. ",,: .. ".. '''.~ . CONSISTENCY 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 of this plan by the City of 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 Fa,ades » Eradicate Blight » Economic Development Opportunities 8 16 Affordable Hou sing Hom eo w n er '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 Far;ade Rehabilitation Program The Commercial Fa~ade 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 Pragram 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 As sistance 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 Busine ss and Community Ser vic e Prog ra m 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, Part III and the current South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan. 9 17 GOALS , OBJECT IVES, AND REDEVELOPMENT ACTION ITEMS The goals, objectives, and redevelopment action items of the Community Redevelopment Plan will serve as a gUide for the successful revitalization of the CRA. Additionally, they will increase opportunities for effective placemaking that will attract new visitors, businesses, and residents.

And, within close proximity to public transit and public amenities. BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES Affordable housing will go beyond the eRA'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 eRA. Residents of the eRA will see the elevated quality of living, at affordable prices, that go beyond the eRA's current affordable housing stock. opportunities exist to provide a mixture of quality, affordable housi ng un its that 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). Miami, FL -Hampton 100 i living unde r 60 % of the area's me dium income i i i Havana,Amistad serves the commun ity with 89 affordable units in a beautiful7·story building . I I Fort lauderdale, at Tarpon River mixes affordable apartments w it h market-rate townhomes 18 26 ACTION ITEM B: IMPlEME -US E lOPMENT VISION STATEMENT To implement mi xed-u se development to activate corridors throughout the CRA and encourage use from residents, office workers, and visitors. BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES Mi xed-use development is already activating South Miami's streets with new units for existing residents and newcomers alike . These buildings are also ve ry popular in neighboring Coral Gables and all-over South Flo r ida . Mix ed-use development has the benefit of add i ng more amen ities and conveniences into one site. Having multiple uses in one building, in a neighborhood of mi xed -use, will encourage walking, biki ng, and transit use instead of driving. Comparable anticipated outcomes can be ' seen just north of South Miami near the Douglas Road MetroRail Station . BEST PRACTICES Dan! Beach, FL -The Place at Dania Beach is a mixed-use project consisting of 144 luxury affordable housing units, .ground-fl oor retail, rooftop recreation space, and an attached parking structure. For uderdal Fl -The Manor Flagler Vii/age has a mix of bustling retail , bars, and restaurants with remark able apartments in a se parate build ing and on-s treet park ing. Ora' Beach FL -Wor t hing Plac e gives re sidents urban living above restaurants and bars. 19 27 ACTION ITEM C: FACILITATE PUBLI RIVATE PARTNERSHIPS VISION STATEMENT To explore opportu nities to work with developers and businesses to successfully create infrastructu re 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 accessible to the general 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 BEST PRACTICES Miami Beach) FL - Built on land leased from the City, i Beach Hotel includes a pub licly-access ibl e parking ga rage and a mu ch- needed convention center. . lorth Miami" FL -On la nd leased from the City, the Sole Mia development mclud~s publicly-accessible lagoons, retail and dining opt ions, and is comm itted to pr ov iding 25% of the jobs to res idents liv ing in the City. lake Worth, Fl -A conceptual i proposes inco rpo rating a publicly-accessi ble recreational space on a private development 20 28 ACTION ITEM 0: REPURPOSE UNDERU ILiZED SITES VISION STATEMENT To repurpose underutilized sites within the CRA through adaptive re-use and redevelopment into mi xe d-use propertie s to support the needs of the resident s 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 de ve lopment. 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 mi xe d-use development. Bec au se of its close proximity to the station, this site could ma xi mize its potential, and contribute to the South Miami CRA's and City's goals for transit oriented development. BEST PRACTICES I Chicago, IL -The site of the City's old post office has since been redeve loped into a vib rant public green space and provides connectiv ity to the waterfront.

BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED 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 gi ven to enhancing the streetscapes throughout the Hometown District as well as those along South Red Road, Sunset Drive, SW 62°0 Avenue, SW 64 '" Street, and SW 59 '" Place . In particular, an emphasis on adding shade trees and public amenities should be given. BEST PRACTICES South Miami, Fl ·The transformat ion of Do rn Ave se rves as a great examp le of what can be ach ieved fo r the TODD and Hometown Dist ricts. Ocala, Fl · Streetscape improvements incl ude park benches, context- appropriate site lighting, landscaping, ADA-compliant pavers , wide sidewa lks, and tras h bins. 22 30 ACTION ITEM F: UPGRADE ARKING 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 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 wayfinding 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 along the 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. BEST PRACTICES Fort Lauderdale, FL -autumn, as Park(ing) Day, severa l parking spaces downtown were tempora rily transfo rmed into mini public parks and rec reat iona l spaces 23 31 ACTION ITEM G: IMPLEMENT SAFE, IN SI, 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 1m plem enti n g Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CP T ED ), Complete Streets, New Urbanism, and Vision Zero de sign strategies and principles within the CRA would improve safety for all users . These de sig n strategies encourage more walking and bicycling. These de sig n strategies also improve connectivity between businesses, neighborhoods, tran sit ro utes , and points of interest. Moreover, they would support the CRA 's economic strength by creating convenient access to its businesses. Serving as the major thoroughfares and access routes within downtown , Sunset Drive, South Di xie Highway/ U.S . Highway 1, SW 62nd Avenue, SW 64th Street, and SW 68th Street have great potential to b e rede signed to support the needs of the community. The existing bike lanes along portions of SW 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.

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.l corridor. Installing a pedestrian bridge over the U.S. 1 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 (CPTED), Complete Streets, New Urbanism , and Vision Zero design strategies and principles would improve safety for all users. Also, addressing the intersections and access for vehicles can capture more shopping trips in the area by those who are otherwise just passing through. BEST PRACTICES 1 Fl - a coup le of miles north east of the South Miami eRA, this pedestrian bridge all ows pedestrians to safely cross U.S. 1. users. 2S pedestrians to safe ly cross and serves as a gateway into the Q _ VISION ER~ the tri-Cou nt y have joined the i is to create safe road system s for all 33 ACTION ITEM I: ENHANCE WA I IN IN SIGNAGE VISION STATEMENT To enhance the user experience and connections throughout South Miami 's community with well-crafted, predictable, accessible, and legible wayfinding sign age. BENEFITS / ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES Wayfinding sign age 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 sign age should have a unified color and material palette, be scaled appropriately based on surroundingcontext,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.

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 CRA's work plan, but rather to offer the chance to adjust to the changing conditions. The followingwi II start with strategies that will affect mu Itiple projects (i.e. com munity benefit strategy), 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 order of 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. 35 43 Implementation of a Community Ben efits Strategy In any project assisted by the South Miami CRA, with the exception of projects in which the South Miami CRA is undertaking on its own, or while working with a non-profit to provide workforce, low, or very-low-income housing, the South Miami CRA can seek to obtain a package of community benefits from the project owner or developer. Community benefits can ensure that outside investments made within the boundaries of the CRAare 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 afford ability, reduce the potential for 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 ofthese components in a manner that 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-friendly streetscapes 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. Wayfinding signage 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: Joining or otherwise supporting local non -profit agencies providing services within the CRA. 44 Encouraging employees , residents, businesses to volunteer for local causes Providing for job fairs, internships, or other on -the -job training where appropriate. 36 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 eRA assistance or without, there may be a need for the South Miami eRA to invest in infrastructure around a project, or in limited instances within the project. The South Miami eRA 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-Iife for those reSiding, visiting, or doing business in the eRA. 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 " Wayfinding signage (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 pa rks 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 » Water and Sewer » Undergrounding or relocation of overhead utilities » Provision of public wi-fi » Bike and scooter parking or docking stations » Electric car charging stations » Parking (structured or on-street) » Restrooms facilities » 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. 37 Key cti ities for the eRA to Undertake Goa l 2 Encourage a minimum of 10% of all multi-family hous in g units w ithin 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. » 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 appeara nc e and function. » Construct pedestrian-friendly streetscapes throughout the CRA. Seek community benefits from developer(s). » Implement financing of any necessary public improvements to foster redeve lopment. » Increase job opportu niti es for res id ents of the CRA and possibly for those of adjacent neighborhoods. » Construct streetscapes in commercial, mixed-use, and high-density residential areas that encourage activatio n. 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 continu es to exist for antic ipated 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 potentia l for all infrastructure when undertaking roadway reconstruction or streetscapes, such as undergrounding utilities and upgrad in g and inc reasing capacity of existing underground facilities. 38 46 Parks and Greenspace It is imperative that ad ditional greenspace is acquired for the potential new res identi al 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 recreatio n, relaxa tion , and specia l eve nts. Key Activities for the South Mi mi RA Uno e ke II Upgrade and encourage more activa tion of ex ist ing parks within the CRA. II Upgrade and ensure maintenan ce of ex isting greenspaces w ithin the CRA. II Utilize small publicly-owned spaces as gree nsp aces wi th limited benche s and land sca ping. II Incorporate the upcomin g Miami Und erlin e Linear Park project as an asset to the CRA. Housing Affordability It shou ld be noted that housing affordability is one of the key programs for the South Miam i CRA to undertake. A key tenant of community building is that th e most complete co mmunities, those that provide the best environment for their resid ents, are those that contain people o f mixed income s. When re si dents in all phases of life, and those with varying t ypes of employment from entry-level profe ss ionals 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, how eve r, it is particularly diffi cult to maintain and expand workfo rce housing (units for households earning up to 120 % of AMI) and lower-income housing (units for hou sehol ds earn ing below 80% of AMI). Gi ve n these condition s, 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 hou sing is available for familie s. Two major regu latory methods can be deployed to provide affordable housing -Inclusionary Zoning and Density Bonuses. " Inclusionary Zoning is a va lu ab le tool the City ha s already implemented , and w ill be a valuable asset to the CRA moving forward. Inclu sionary Zoning mandates that each new housing proj ec t provide s a certain percentage of units for hou se ho ld s making belo w a pre -es tablished income level. While utilization of this met hod ensures a certain number of affordable units , it could have an effect that increases cost to the other res idents of the project, because they would have to make up for revenue lost by providing the lower- cost units rath er than selling or renting those units at market rates. Additionally, such programs are much more successful when th e hou sing market is booming, and costs exceed revenues by a greater percentage. Therefore, continued effective use of Inclusionary Zo ning in the South Miami CRA require s continual monitoring to ensure it remains cost-effective for the housing provider to continue to develop . II Density Bonuses pro vide an i ncreas e i n allowed dwelling units per acre, floor area ratio, or height, and is the most common form of incenti ve use d by inclu sio nary hou sing program s. 39 47 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 City to shepherding the project through 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-profit to 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. Key lctivitie:, or e South iami CP Increase the supply of affordable homes for lower-income and workforce households as a percentage of all units within the CRA. Devise and implement programs to assist housing providers in creating affordable units fortarget households. Consider the creation of a Community Land Trust to own the land upon which affordable units exist. » Partner with non-profit organizations to provide affordable units within the CRA. Create and implement programs to assist target 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 housin·g. 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 I nstitutions, Developers, Non-Profit Development Corporations, Seed and Venture Funds, Angel Investors, and Housing Authorities. 40 48 CHAPTER 3 CRA MARKET ANALYSIS 6 TAX INCREMENT FINANCI G 42 50 MARKET ANALYSIS SUMMARY A MarketAnalysis was conducted of the South Miami CRA, which focu sed on th e ability to add va lue to the community. The report also included an analysi s of vacant parcels and thos e suitable for redevelopment ba sed on underu se or deteriorated structures, a review of the market conditions that support red eve lopment, and the ability to extend se rvices throughout the South Miami CRA . To determine th e Market Area for the South Miami CRA community, a "drive time" scenario was used to identify the distan ce that can be driven w ithin a specific time frame. The market conditions were also revie we d, in order to det er min e sa les conducted within the Study Area. The analysis was used to mea sure the amount of bu si ness imported into th e South Miami CRA . Additionally, a Demand Analy sis was conducted, which projected demand for various product types for bo t h short-te rm and long-t er m tim e frame s. The projection of demand included res i dential , comme rc ial, offi ce, and other uses. The full Market Analysis Report can be rea d in Appendix B of this Pl an. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING Th e growth esti mate for the South Miami CRA is 4% per year. Although, in any given year, economic for ces may either accelerate or decel erate the growth in Taxa bl e Va lu e, a growth of 4% is appropriate fo r the total projection period to account for the se oscillations. The se projections also assumed that th e growth of Tax In c reme nt Financing (TIF) will follo w the p attern that has histori cally occurred. However, it is important to note that all TIF agreements wi th Miami-Dade Coun ty are subject to negoti ation . On e important issu e is th e SMART Pl an fo rtransportat ion . The SMART Plan includ es TIF for areas that surround the major transportation nod es such as the Me troRail sta tion s. A portion of the South Miami CRA boundary is w ithin th is zone and the County ma y desire to nego t iate all or a portion of th e TIF. » Backg round growth wi ll average 4% per year » New Projects : » Alto (6750 Sunset) » Shops at Sunset Place » SaMi Station (approval controlled by the County) » HR Acquisition (pro perty ad jacent to existing office developme nt) » South Miami Ho spital properties (vacant land in areas o f multi -family resi denti al) " City ta x rat e of 4.3000 mills, County tax ra te o f 4.66 69 mills » 5% of incremental taxes retain ed by th e two taxing authorities 43 Table 1 is based on standard procedures of growth and new projects that are anticipated within the South Miami CRA. The City of South Miami's Planning Department was consulted to determine what projects are o n the horizon. In addition , vacant land was exami ned to determine whattype of development cou ld occur on these properties. The timing for the anticipated development was based on where the project was in the approval process by the City.

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 by the South Miami CRA before even one person is displaced from the aforementioned community. haffic Circulatio n The proposed projects that will be built in the CRA are intended to reduce the amount of traffic 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 instead 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, the Agency will create a fund and programs to address the 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 for jobs, financial and entrepreneurship training, and legal support/incentives to keep ownership of property in the community. School 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 58 school year as a free charter school. 50 163,362 [4 J: PUBLICLY FUNDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Table 4: Publicly Funded Capital Improvement Projects " I " I I' CITY FACILITIES Gibson Bethel Community Center -Air Conditioning Operational Enh anc ement Gibson Bethel Community Ce nter -Basketba ll Gymnas ium Bleacher Operational Enh anc em ent Operational Enhan cement Gibson Bet h el Community Center -Restroom Renovations ----------~----------------~ Gibson Bethel Community Center -Solar Operational Enh anc ement Poli ce Department and Ci ty Hall - Air Conditioning Operational Enh an ceme nt Police Sta ti on Front Foyer and Parking Lot -Li ghtin g Im provements Ope rat io n a l Enh an cem ent Publi c Works Buildin g -Solar Operational Enhancem ent • Chamb er Di gital Audio and Rebuild Project Ope ra t iona l Enhan ce m ent Do wntow n Area -Rubber Mulch for Tr ee Grates Operational Enhancem ent Marshall Wi lli amson Park -Si d ewa lks Goal2 Marshall Wi lli amson Pa r k -Outdoor Fitn ess Zone wi supp ort fac ili t i es Goal3 Marshall Williamson Park -Playground PIP Rubber Su rfa ce Goa l 3 --------------~--------------~ Murray Park -Playground PIP Rubber Surface Murray Pa r k -Replace Ball Fi eld Fenci n g Pedestria n Bridge Study Over U.S. 1 be tween SW 57'" Ave and SW 72 " St Feasi bility Study Po o l Facilities -Solar SW 58'" Ave Intersection at U.S . 1 -Design and Co nstruc t ion SW 59 '" PI and SW 69 '" St - Traffic St ud y SW 62 " St (59'" CT to 62 "" Ave) -Road Resurfacing Goal3 Goal3 Goal2 Operational Enh ancement Goa l 2 Goal2 Go al2 Goal2 SW 64'" St Bike Lane and Road Improvements (SW 57'" Ave to SW 62 " Ave) -------~--------------~ SW 73 " St (57 '" CT to 58 '" Ave) -Road Resurfacing Goa l 2 --- Sl 163,362 [5J: SAFEGUARDS Redevelopment Activities 1.

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. Exhibit 1: Drive Time Map B,scayne /j Source: En v;ron ic s Anafyti cs 69 MARKET CONDITIONS Gap Analysis Gap Analysis refers to a determination of the difference between the number of goods and services demanded by the reside nts of the Market Area and the business conducted by the establishments within that same area . Where the population demands more goods and services than the l ocal bus in esses provide, they must travel outside of the Market Area. The industry considers this difference an Opportun ity Gap where the Market Area could support more businesses in the selected industries. Environics 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 sign if icant 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 business. These industries are : » Lawn and Garden stores » Hardware stores » Convenie n ce 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 popu lation over 16 years of age. Persons under that age are not considered participants in the potential Labor Force .

But "all roads lead back to the university," she sa id. Alvarez-Diaz spent her four yea rs of undcr- grad at UM, 3nd frank, whom she met in high school, transferred to UM after spending two years at Miami Dade College. The parents run a public relations and marketing firm together, but always made their way back to UM for al umni events. They have been al umni marshals during com - mencement ceremonies and are members of UM's Cit izens ' Board, a group of alumni who secure dona- t ion s to the university. In 2008, Alvarez-D ia z's tie to UM grew even stron- ger, when she was asked to teach management and entrepreneurship classes at the bus ines s school. She started out as a s tand-in when a replacement hire was a no-show, and is now a full-time lecturer. Sofia Diaz, a graduate of American Heritage School in Plant ation, was no dif- ferent in her longstanding connectio n to the uni- versity. Her parents took her to UM sports ga me s - ~ (:&:1, '-Q~.;>, including the last football game the Miami Hurri- canes played at the Orange Bowl -and threw her sw eet 16 at the Donna E. Shalala Student Ce nter.
