5870 SW 70 ST_HOMETOWN STATION MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT Brimo, Christopher From: JohnEdward Smith Des_somi @att.net] Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2012 11:45 AM To: Russell Benford Cc: Mayor Carlos J. Gimenez; Commissioner Xavier L. Suarez Subject: South Miami Metrorail Station Proposed Development Russell Benford Deputy,Mayor Miami-Dade County Dear Deputy Mayor Benford, We had the occasion to make our acquaintance at a recent South Miami City Commission meeting. You may recall, I am the publisher of SOMI Magazine, and former educator at Columbus H.S. when Mayor Gimenez was a student. Beyond that I am a resident/homeowner in South Miami since 1974 and a marketing/management consultant with my business in South Miami since 1982. I understand, from a third party, that there is a-proposed low-income high-rise development planned for the South Miami Metrorail Station at the very entrance to our "South Miami Town Center." Sir, as Deputy Mayor for Public Housing & Community Development, I am addressing these concerns to you as I believe this development will be,a serious detriment to the vitality of our South Miami business district and community. While the county may benefit financially from such a project, the community of South Miami will bear the brunt. I have spoken with the business leadership and elected officials in this regard. We must not allow this to happen. I realize there is little time to effect a change, however, we must engage the county so that this does not happen. In my conversation with Mayor Stoddard, he is eager to discuss alternative developments on this site. Let us explore options: a swap of city property to build an low-income housing project (if that is in the true best interests of the county and city); consider a joint venture between the city, the county and a private developer to build an alternative use on the site, e.g., high rise class "B" office, retail and restaurants. For the continued prosperity of our city's "downtown" district and the costs associated with such a development for local policing and social services, we need to consider alternatives. I would respectfully request you to engage the local business and civic leaders in order to consider the alternatives. Can your office faciliate these discussions? Thank you for your time and consideration. Cordially yours, john edward smith c: Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez Miami-Dade County Commissioner Xavier L.

Pagel of 9 Chapter 33C FIXED-GUIDEWAY RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM--DEVELOPMENT ZONE* *Editor's note: Ord. No. 78-74, § 1, adopted Oct. 17, 1978, amended this Code by adding Ch. 33C, §§ 33C-1--33C-5. Cross references: Zoning, Ch. 33; developments in incorporated areas creating county impact, Ch. 33A. Sec. 33C-1. Legislative intent, findings and purposes. The Board of County Commissioners for Miami-Dade County, Florida, hereby declares and finds that the uncoordinated use of lands within the County threatens the orderly development and the health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity and welfare of the present and future citizens of this County. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 75-22, the Board adopted and accepted the Comprehensive Development Master Plan for Miami-Dade County whereby it specifically declared that it was the continuing policy of Miami-Dade County, in cooperation with federal, State, regional and local governments, and other concerned public and private organizations, to use all reasonable means and measures to: (a) Foster and promote the general welfare; (b) To create and maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony; and (c) To fill the social, economic and other requirements of the present and future generations of citizens of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The board further found that the Comprehensive Development Master Plan was enacted to assure for all people of Miami-Dade County an attempt to create safe, healthful, productive and aesthetically and culturally pleasing surroundings; to attain the widest range of beneficial uses of the environment without unreasonable degradation, risk to the health or safety, or other undesirable and unintended consequences, to preserve important historic, cultural and natural aspects of our national heritage; to maintain, wherever possible, an environment which supports diversity and variety of individual choice; to achieve a balance between population and resources which will permit the high standards of living and a wide sharing of life's amenities, and to enhance the quality of renewal resources and approach the maximum attainable recycling of depletable resources. In furtherance of these goals and objectives, the Board finds that the coordinated review and analysis of its mass transit facilities is necessary to carry on a central metropolitan government in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Coordinated review and analysis of the mass transit system is susceptible to, and would be most effectively carried on, under a uniform plan of regulation applicable to the County as a whole. The planning of major transportation facilities, combined with other plan implementation tools, can be effectively used in meeting social, economic and environmental needs and in creating a major influence on metropolitan development patterns and life styles. The •capability of a transportation network, acting in conjunction with other urban services to establish general development trends, is well recognized. A maximum coordination of transportation and land use policy decisions is therefore essential to optimize the role of transportation as a potent tool for implementing the desired patterns of metropolitan development. http://library.municode.com/gateway.dll/FL1/floridal/10885/11315?f=templates$fn=doc... 10/18/2004 �Chapter'33C FIXED-GUIDEWAY RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM--DEVELOPMENT ZO... Page 2 of 9 The Board further finds that the Stage I Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System has, since 1973, undergone extensive planning, review, analysis, and engineering design efforts. The Stage I System has received design approval from both the federal and State governments and is in the process of final design, procurement and construction activities. The Stage I System, including proposed improvements in other forms of surface transportation facilities, represents a concerted, coordinated effort to improve not only the transportation facilities within Miami-Dade County, but the overall quality of life enjoyed by citizens of and visitors to Miami Dade County. Finally, the Stage I System represents one (1) of the largest public works projects ever undertaken in Miami-Dade County and the Southeastern United States. As such, the Stage I Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System may only be planned, engineered, implemented, and administered on a County-wide basis, in a manner which will: (a) Provide maximum opportunities for development to serve as financial assistance to the system; and (b) Provide incentives for joint development with the private sector. (Ord. No. 78-74, § 1, 10-17-78) Sec. 33C-2. Rapid Transit Zone. (A) Definition. The 'Rapid Transit Zone" consists of all land area, including surface, subsurface, and appurtenant airspace, heretofore or hereafter designated by the Board of County Commissioners as necessary for the construction of the fixed-guideway portion of the Stage I Rapid Transit System, including all station sites, parking areas and yard and maintenance shop facilities.

Page 4 of 9 Miami-Dade Transit Agency. Decisions of the Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee upon such applications shall be subject to appeal to the Board of C unty Commissioners in accordance with the requirements of Section 3-314, Miami-Dade County Code.. It shall be the duty of the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners to immediately transmit to the relevant municipality a certified copy of the Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee's and the County Commission's actions in regard to the uses provided for in this subsection. The municipality may seek judicial revieW of the County Commission's action in accordance with Section 33-316, Miami-Dade County Code. �--y (e) The uses provided in this subsection shall, where applicable, be subject to municipal ordinances relating to occupational license taxes, and such taxes be and they are hereby expressly reserved to such municipalities. (10) County government office development in the Rapid Transit Zone within municipalities. Whenever County office development is proposed for that portion of the Rapid Transit Zone surrounding the Douglas Road Metrorail Station, the directors of the Departments of Planning and Zoning, the Miami-Dade Transit Agency and the department proposing the development shall develop proposed master plan development standards for such proposed uses. The standards shall contain, at a minimum: (a) maximum height of the building; (b) maximum floor area ratio; (c) maximum parking provided; (d) minimum open space; (e) minimum setbacks from property lines; (f) gross and net land area; (g) criteria for pedestrian and vehicular circulation systems; (h) signage criteria; (i) criteria for parking layouts and drives; and (j) features demonstrating conformity with the guidelines for development of urban centers contained in the Comprehensive Development Master Plan, conformity with the Miami-Dade County Urban Design Manual, and consistency with the Metrorail Compendium of Design Criteria.

In reviewing the standards, the municipality shall consider the type of function involved, the public need therefor, the existing land use pattern in the area and the nature of the impact of the facility on the surrounding property. The municipal governing board shall have the power to approve or reject the standards, but shall not modify the standards as submitted. Unless extended by agreement with the County Manager, failure of the municipal governing board to reach a final decision on the proposed development standards within 60 days after receipt of the standards may be deemed by the County to be a lack of objection to the standards as proposed. If the municipal governing board rejects the proposed development standards, the proposed County office development shall not be permitted at the site unless the Board of County Commissioners determines after duly noticed public hearing that the proposed development is of County-wide necessity and significance, and upon such determination approves the development standards in accordance with the criteria applicable to the municipal governing board. After approval of the development standards, a site plan consistent with the approved development standards shall be submitted to the Director of the Department of Planning and Zoning. After review by the Directors of the Departments of Planning and Zoning, the Miami-Dade Transit Agency and the department seeking development approval, the County Manager may submit the site plan to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation for approval. http://library.municode.com/gateway.dll/FL 1/floridal/10885/11315?f=templates$fn=doc... 10/18/2004 Chapter'.33C FIXED-GUIDEWAY RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM--DEVELOPMENT ZO... Page 5 of 9 The Board of County Commissioners may authorize the development and approve the site plan by resolution following public hearing. The public hearing shall be held upon 15 days' notice of the time and place of the hearing published in a newspaper of general circulation in Miami-Dade County, which publication shall include the time and place of hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. A courtesy notice containing general information as to the date, time and place of the hearing, the property location and general nature of the proposed development may be mailed to the property owners of record within a radius of three hundred (300) feet of the property described in the application, or such greater distance as the County Manager may provide; provided, however, that failure to mail or receive such courtesy notice shall not affect any action or proceeding taken hereunder.

Failure to post the property shall not affect any action taken hereunder. At the public hearing, the Board shall consider, among other factors, the type of function involved, the public need therefor, the existing land use pattern in the area, alternative locations for the facility and the nature of the impact of the development on the surrounding property. This process shall apply only to that portion of the Rapid Transit Zone surrounding the Douglas Road Metrorail Station. (E) Effect on existing land uses. All land areas included by this section within the Rapid Transit Zone upon which uses other than those specified in subsection (D) of this section were authorized or permitted prior to October 27, 1978 may be used as follows: (1) Existing structures.

In the event that a court fails to remand a matter to the Board of County Commissioners after finding that a taking or vested rights abrogation has occurred, the director is instructed to forthwith file an application to remedy such taking or vested rights abrogation, which application shall be heard directly by the Board of County Commissioners after notice is given pursuant to Section 33-310(c) through (f). The Board of County Commissioners may elect to request that any remand or director's application be deferred until a later point in the litigation, including the completion of any judicial appeals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this chapter, the Board of County Commissioners shall have original administrative jurisdiction over any remand or director's application pursuant to this paragraph.

Limitation on issuance of permits. The Department shall not issue any type of permit or certificate based upon any action of the Community Zoning Appeals Board which the County Commission has jurisdiction to review until a final decision has been rendered on the application by the County Commission as provided by this chapter; provided, however, a temporary conditional permit or certificate may be issued prior to such final decision if the Director should first determine that the withholding of the same would cause imminent peril to life or property and then only upon such conditions and limitations, including the furnishing of an appropriate bond, as may be deemed proper by the Director. Upon application of the Director, any variance, special exception, new use, special permit or unusual use heretofore or hereafter granted that is not utilized within the three-year period following the date of its grant or approval, may be terminated by the Board of County Commissioners after the required noticed public hearing or hearings, if it is determined that there have been sufficient changes in circumstances in the neighborhood and area concerned that to permit the same to be used would be detrimental to the area and incompatible therewith; provided, a variance shall not be terminated if the guidelines for granting the same exist. The foregoing provision shall not apply if the resolution granting the variance, special exception, new use, special permit or unusual use establishes a specific time limitation for utilizing the same. In such instances, the time limitation established by such resolution shall prevail. In the event application is made for a change of zoning on property which possesses any variance, special exception, new use, special permit or unusual use not yet utilized, no permits or certificates shall be issued for such variance, special exception, new use, special permit or unusual use until the hearing has been concluded. If the application far change of zoning is approved, the variance, special exception, new use, special permit or unusual use shall terminate, unless continued by the rezoning resolution; otherwise such variance, special exception, new use, special permit or unusual use shall remain in full force and effect, unless http://library.municode.com/gateway.dil/FL I/fi&ida 1/108 85/11250/113 06?f=templates$f... 19/2004 Eve Boutsis From: Luis Figueredo Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 3:40 PM To: Eve Boutsis Subject: rW: Hometown Station -----Original Message----- From: Luis Figueredo Sent: Monday,October 18,2004 12:44 PM To: 'randywiscombe @hvieraschools.com' Cc: 'demran55 @aol.com' Subject: Hometown Station Commissioner Wiscombe, The Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone prepared by the Miami-Dade County Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee contains extensive development standards that must be adhered to by Hometown station Ltd.;The Master Plan Development Standards under Paragraph 8(o) requires that the project be designed to be.-compatible with the surrounding area: Hometown Station Ltd. presented the city with a design for the project at the time the development standards were approved by the city. No formal determination by county has been submitted to the city that confirms that a review has been conducted by the county of the new project design and site plan and that the new design is compatible with the surrounding area. Chapter 33C of the Code of Miami-Dade County requires compliance with the Master Plan Development Standards. It is my understanding that the new project design is not compatible with the city's Hometown plan which governs-the anticipated uses and development in the immediate area. While the city's zoning standards(Hometown plan) may not be enforceable in the Rapid Transit Zone, they can be used as a reference for determining compliance with the Master Plan Development Standards which mandate compatibility with the surrounding area. The project design's inability to satisfy the criteria set out in the city's Hometown plan raises concern regarding the project's compatibility with the existing and proposed uses for the area. The Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone specifically require that the scale and development of the proposed project be designed to be compatible with the existing, proposed and anticipated uses of the surrounding neighborhood. The city has been provided with no evidence that a formal review of the new design for purposes of determining compatibility with the master plan has ever been conducted. It is my understanding that it is the city position that the new design and site plan is not compatible with the surrounding area and therefore the new site plan violates the approved Master Plan Development Standards.

'sE'Ha Recommendation on Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone REQUEST In accordance with Chapter 33C-2(D) of the Code of Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Dade County Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee (RTDIC), consisting of municipal and County representatives, has reviewed the Master Plan Development Standards prepared and submitted by Hometown Station, Ltd. for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone. The site is located within the Rapid Transit Zone and depicted in the attached Exhibit No. 1. The Miami-Dade County Developmental Impact Committee Executive Council has reviewed the standards and requests approval of, these standards as indicated herein. RECOMMENDATION Adoption, by the City of South Miami Commission, of the following master plan development standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone station site. BACKGROUND The South Miami station site contains a total of approximately 7.7 acres and is located in the City of South Miami east of SW 59 Avenue and between SW 70 Street and US Highway r1 . The entire site lies within the Rapid Transit Zone as provided for in Chapter 33C of the Code of Miami-Dade County. Section 33C-2(D).(9)(d) provides: Whenever uses authorized by subparagraph (a) above are proposed within portions of the Rapid Transit Zone passing through municipalities, the Station Area Design and Development Program process, a joint municipal-County program, shall prepare proposed master plan development standards for such a proposed use. Such proposed master plan development standards shall be submitted to the appropriate municipality for review and adoption as the Master Land Use Plan for such uses. Once adopted, said land use plans shall control all public actions involving or affecting land use or development, including action on applications for zoning relief... Hometown Station, Ltd. prepared and submitted standards, similar to those contained herein. In accordance with the above procedure, the RTDIC held a public meeting on January 9, 2002 to review the submitted standards. Comments from both County and City departmental staff regarding the site development standards were received and then reviewed by the DIC Executive Council. These standards were reviewed with a view toward complementing the surrounding area. The subject site is designated as Business and Office on the Comprehensive Development Master 'Plan Land Use Plan map. The site is also designated as a Community Urban Center, a localized but compact urban area that will contain a concentration of different urban functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. Areas developed as a community urban center shall, in accordance with the Miami-Dade - Comprehensive Development Master plan, have a radius of 700 to 1,800 feet but may be'{iiietded a radius of one-half mile where recommended in an area plan. The land uses surrounding the South Miami Transit Station consist of a United States Post Office and automotive repair use to the north, strip commercial uses to the south and east, and an eight-story office building and.vacant building to the west. As a result of the RTDIC review, changes have been incorporated into the station site master plan development standards submitted by Hometown Station, Ltd. The following are recommended: SOUTH MIAMI MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The following standards shall govern the use, site design, building mass, parking, circulation, and signage for all non-Metrorail development in the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone. All development uses of non-system structures, whether public or private in nature, within the Rapid Transit Zone of the Stage 1 Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System, which includes all station sites and parking areas, shall be: consistent with the Miami-Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan in general. and the guidelines for development of Urban Centers, in particular (pages 1-37 through 1-40, 1999 edition); compatible with the Urban Desiqn Manual prepared by the Miami-Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning , (February, 1999 or latest edition); in compliance with Chapter 33C, Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System— Development Zone (1 through 5); in compliance with Chapter 33, Zoning, Division 6, Commercial Signs on Rapid Transit System Right-of-Way (121.20 through 121.4); and comoatible with Metrorail Compendium of Design Criteria Volume I, Systemwide Design Criteria.

Additionaliy all projects, without exception, shall be submitted to the Miami-Dade Transit Agency Fire/Life Safety Committee for compliance review. 1) Purpose. The purpose of these Master Plan Development Standards is -to provide the guidelines for future development within the boundaries of the South Miami Transit Station portion of the Rapid Transit Zone (as described below). The Master Plan Development Standards have been prepared to be compatible with the concept of South Miami's Transit-Oriented Development District and with adjacent existing uses. The Master Plan Development Standards are designed to encourage mixed use, high density projects within the Station area, and to provide a pedestrian friendly atmosphere in keeping with South Miami's Hometown District. The Master Plan Development Standards are very site specific and take into account existing uses within the boundaries of the site. Unless specified to the contrary, the Master Plan -Development Standards supercede all conflicting requirements in Chapter 33 and Chapter 18A of the Code of Miami-Dade County. 2 i[RA '.•i(i:S - .';.,.. :.,,�,..�:. . dit..::w 7/.c. : M-afl';-:• -. ...,�'NR .. .. - _._. - ...: The.Master Plan Development Standards promote a concentration of different urban functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. The Master Plan Development Standards implement a parking code that treats parking as an element of public infrastructure in an urban center, and that recognizes the shared parking benefit of vertically mixed development and the opportunities of an enhanced Metrorail connection. These shared benefits will further the achievement of the .public goals of "Eastward Ho" and the orientation of development near existing public transportation corridors. 2) Boundaries. These Master Plan Development Standards shall apply to development in the South Miami Transit Station, defined as the area bounded by Sunset Drive, SW 59" Place, SW 70" Street and the Right of Way for U.S. Highway No.1, as shown on the legal description and survey attached hereto as Exhibit No.1("South Miami Station"). 3) Existing Uses.

South Miami was recently named an All-America City by the National Civic League. The goal is to help restore and complete a crucial piece of this evolving,dynamic community.This development will build upon the investments that the Miami-Dade Transit Agency,the City of South Miami,Community _ Redevelopment Agency and neighbors have made over many years,and will leverage ` improvements to the immediate physical environment in order to promote economic revitalization over a much larger area.A collection of thin"liner building"elements will wrap around and atop the existing garage,adding new round-the-clock occupants and putting a whole new human face on the station. Inside,the garages are being dramatically brightened up and refurbished.The edges of the buildings will feature storefronts along the sidewalks and arcades overhead,and new balconies,terraces and windows will overlook the streets and the square. Binding together and complementing the existing garage and platform,these elements will help change the station area into a unified,urbane place.

An applicant, Hometown Station Ltd., in conjunction with the Miami-Dade County Transit Agency, is proposing a development at the site of the South Miami Metrorail Station The subject request is in two parts: (1)a request for City approval of proposed Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Metrorail Station. These standards if adopted by the City of South Miami would be applicable to any proposed development for the station.; (2)The second part of the request is a presentation conceptual plans of a specific project for the station area by a developer, Hometown Station Ltd. The plans are for a mixed use development containing a combination of office, retail, and residential space. MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The South Miami Metrorail Station is located within a County designated Rapid Transit System Zoning District and is subject to zoning standards and permitting procedures specified in Chapter 33C of the Miami-Dade County Code. ( see Attachment "A") These regulations also. specify that development standards (including allowable land uses) are to be prepared jointly by the County and the City for any Rapid Transit Zone which is within a municipality. The Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone was prepared by the developer Hometown Station Ltd. and submitted to c" 1.7 yY + 'F I ^yi'YT MG±Yt V T'dx`✓id:ST'KF"s n'l< p S '�^ ';� t ti wk? the Miami-Dade County Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee, which was made up of City and County representatives. The Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone are enclosed as attachment to this report (see Attachment `B"). This document includes a cover letter from the County Manager, the recommendation of the County Impact Committee (pp. 1,2) and the specific standards (pp. 2-7). The development standards includes sections on purpose, boundaries, existing uses,defmitions, development areas, development regulations, building height, permitted uses, architectural details, open space landscaping, signage and site plan review criteria. These standards, once adopted by the City, are to be used to guide future redevelopment on the site. HOMETOWN STATION LTD.DEVELOPMENT PROJECT The Miami-Dade County Code Section 33C-2(D)(9)(c) provides for a process by which the County shall select a developer for a Rapid Transit Zone project. A proposed development plan was prepared by Hometown Station Ltd. and was submitted to the County. The-project will be subject to site plan review and final approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The County is seeking the City's comments on the proposed development, which can be used by the Board of County Commissioners when it formally reviews and acts upon the project. In order to assist the City Commission in reviewing the project,the following site and development plan information is provided: Site analysis Surroundiniz Parcels Comprehensive Plan Land Development Code Actual Use Existing Land Use Existing Zoning District Category North TODD TODD(MU-4)- US Post office TODD(LI-4) Industrial Uses East Mixed Use Commercial/ SR Specialty Retail Commercial Residential (Hometown District) South . Mixed Use Commercial/ SR Specialty Retail Commercial Residential (Hometown District) West TODD TODD(MU-5) Office Building and Garage Mixed Use Commercial/ TODD(MU-4) Residential MO Medium Density Office Proposed Development: According to the applicant's submittal, the proposal consists of three separate development areas. Area "A" is adjacent to the southwest edge of the existing garage, and extends west to the.corner of SW 59'h Place and the entrance driveway near Sunset Drive. A new building is to be constructed here, which could be as tall as eight(8)stories,which is the same as the maximum permitted building height along the north side of Sunset Drive west of US 1. Area `B" is the area abutting the existing triangular garage, wrapping around the garage along the SW 591h Place and SW 70'h Street facades. The proposal is to"wrap"the garage with a"liner building"which would contain retail and residential "live-work units." This portion of the development would not exceed five(5)stories in height. �sE04 1 SA r u+ rim vim.ge&s d H ,� _ .:- � 5.,; .�,qe rn•.. �y fL I wF"` dn"1F'_' 1*41Y- �FJometown Station E T Page 3 Area"C" is the area above the existing triangular garage. The.proposal is to add three additional stories above the existing garage,which could be used for either commercial office,hotel or residential purposes. Total building height would not exceed eight(8)stories. A general site plan showing the location of the three(3)development areas is attached.( see Attachment "C"). A schematic illustration of the proposed development is contained in an attached color brochure entitled"Hometown Station". (see Attachment"D") Building Placement The proposed site plan shows the"liner building" wrapping around the existing parking garage, and built to the"build-to" or property line fronting SW 59`h Place and SW 70`h Street. These frontages would have arcades or colonnades along the street,with public sidewalks underneath. Parking Requirements The development standards were written to incorporate City of South Miami parking standards for the various uses proposed. A 25% parking reduction is included in the parking requirement calculations, to take account of the mix of uses proposed and the location of the project within and directly adjacent to the South Miami Metrorail station. The main parking area will be the existing 674 space triangular garage, which will be entirely dedicated to the new development. A second, 1100 space garage, will remain in use by the Metrorail station for transit riders. Landscaping/Streetscape The development standards call for the project to be landscaped as much as possible, including on the rooftop of the garage. Open space must amount to 15 percent of the project. Traffic Analysis The developer has provided an in depth traffic analysis for the proposed Hometown Station project. The report's Executive Summary (p. l) sets forth : (1) that the proposed project will not impact the level of service on the existing roadways in the area; (2) that no specific roadway improvements are required to accommodate the additional traffic generated by the proposed project. A copy of the "Hometown Station Traffic Analysis " is attached. (see Attachment"E") STAFF OBSERVATIONS (A) Master Plan Development Standards The Master Plan Development Standards prepared for the South Miami Metrorail Station are compatible with the design guidelines and development regulations contained in the City's own Transit Oriented Development District (TODD). The standards are also designed to encourage mixed use„ high density projects_within.the Station area, and to provide a pedestrian friendly atmosphere in keeping with the South Miami Hometown District. (R)Hometown Station Development Project The proposed mixed use project appears to incorporate most of the concepts specified in the Master Plan Development Standards for the site and as such it is compatible with both the City's Hometown Plan and the City's Transit Oriented Development District (TODD). The architectural design proposed for the buildings is consistent with nearby development in downtown South Miami, and respects the walkable, pedestrian orientation that the City is striving for. rP"a t �7N1 ', }iv'isrt'�h�-r5t.-s publrc�learng s £ �^ �"Hometown Sta3ron M#.7;.2002 Page 4r xxy PLANNING BOARD ACTION The Planning Board at its April 30, 2002 meeting approved a motion recommending that the City .

Location: South Miami Metrorail Station Application: Miami-Dade County Master.Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone Dear Mr. Scurr: Please accept this application for Planning Board and City Commission review and approval of the Master Plan Development Standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone portion of Miami-Dade County's Rapid Transit System("Metrorail"). Our firm represents Hometown Station, Ltd. ("Hometown"), prospective developer of a mixed use project at the southern end of the South Miami Station of the Metrorail system. Pursuant to Chapter 33C(Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System-Development Zone)of the Code of Miami-Dade County,a copy of which is attached,Hometown hereby submits Development Standards for the mixed use development of the South Miami Station. In accordance with Chapter 33C, a coordinated review between the County and its municipalities has been established in order "to optimize the role of transportation as a potent tool for implementing the design patterns of Metropolitan development". Chapter 33C establishes a procedure for rapid transit developments within municipalities that requires the municipality to review and adopt the Master Plan Development Standards. After adoption of the Master Plan Development Standards by the City Commission,Hometown may proceed to the Board of County Commissioners with an application for site plan approval pursuant to Section 33C-2 (D) (9) (c) of the Miami-Dade County Code. \74913\15884\#558107 v 1 4/24/02 10:28 AM MRME z 1`-Z W, A ' P. P W­­ 1B A E N A' ' 7& t0t.00 LL 1IMN S'UMBER&': _R 'CE X N! March 29,2002 Page 2 Hometown has designed Master Plan Development Standards that are compatible with the area surrounding the South Miami Station and with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of South Miami. Key components such as definitions, permitted uses, parking regulations,building placement regulations,the provision of colonnades/arcades,signage, and site plan review standards utilize concepts in the City of South Miami's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations to insure compatibility. The highlights of the Standards are as follows: 1. The Standards*maximize public utilization of existing resources by earmarking the existing 674 space garage(the "triangular garage")at the southeastern comer of SW 700'Street and SW 59 Place (Church Street) for usage by workers and visitors to the Hometown project. 2. The Standards clearly delineate three separate,but interwoven phases of development: (a) Area "A" is located adjacent to the southwest edge of the triangular garage and features a mixed use building consisting of retail and office uses,with a public gathering place in front of the building. This public space will provide a focal point for the development that is well spaced from any residential units and provides a more efficient utilization of this public property. (b) Area "B" of the project will include a retail "liner" building that will "wrap-around" and connect to the existing triangular garage and provide retail service opportunities along both Church Street and SW 70 Street. This development will enhance the aesthetic value of the South Miami Station from the northerly adjacent community within the City. This area will also include "live- work" dwellings, an exciting development where citizens may live and work within the same unit. The"live-work"concept conforms with the City and County Comprehensive Plans and advances the ideals of"New Urbanism",which attempts to regulate land uses in a manner to significantly reduce the length and frequency of automobile trips. (c) Area"C describes the development of either office or residential development to a maximum height of three stories above the triangular garage in the area at the southeast comer of Church Street and SW 70.Street. This portion of the development will also enhance the visual ambiance of the station. 3. Hometown representatives have worked extensively with County and City staff to delineate a series of stringent,urban oriented design criteria that are included in the Master Plan Development Standards. Said Standards were prepared by the Miami-Dade County Rapid Transit Development Impact Committee in conjunction with your Planning Director and Assistant City Manager and approved by the Developmental Impact Committee Executive Council on March 6, 2002. The Standards comply with the provisions for "Urban Centers" in Miami-Dade County's Comprehensive Development Master Plan("CDNT"),which encourage convenient alternatives to automobile travel, more efficient land uses than recent suburban development forms, and create identifiable"Town Centers". The Standards create a distinctive sense of place for the Station that wi ll create a destination point that extends to the non-peak hour/week day,week day/evening, and m �61 NOWA t i t trxc' S �^•+` _ ar +^^ ` — _ y a di <1.

Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee (RTDIC), consisting of municipal and County representatives, has reviewed the Master Plan Development Standards prepared and submitted by Hometown Station, Ltd. for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone. The site is located within the Rapid Transit Zone and depicted in the attached Exhibit No. 1. The Miami-Dade County Developmental Impact Committee Executive Council has reviewed the standards and requests approval of these standards as indicated herein. RECOMMENDATION Adoption, by the City of South Miami Commission, of the following master plan development standards for the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone station site. BACKGROUND The South Miami station site contains a total of approximately 7.7 acres and is located in the City of South Miami east of SW 59 Avenue and between SW 70 Street and US Highway #1. The entire site lies within the Rapid Transit Zone as provided for in Chapter 33C of the Code of Miami-Dade County. Section 33C-2(D)(9)(d) provides: Whenever uses authorized by subparagraph (a) above are proposed within portions of the Rapid Transit Zone passing through municipalities, the Station Area Design and Development Program process, a joint municipal-County program, shall prepare proposed master plan development standards for such a proposed use. Such proposed master plan development standards shall be submitted to the appropriate municipality for review and adoption as the Master Land Use Plan for such uses. Once adopted, said land use plans shall control all public actions involving or affecting land use or development, including action on applications for zoning relief... Hometown Station, Ltd. prepared and submitted standards similar to those contained herein. In accordance with the above procedure, the RTDIC held a public meeting on January 9, 2002 to review the submitted standards. Comments from both County and City departmental staff regarding the site development standards were received and then reviewed by the DIC Executive Council. These standards were reviewed with a view toward complementing the surrounding area. The subject site is designated as Business and Office on the Comprehensive Development Master Plan Land Use Plan map. The site is also designated as a Community Urban Center, a localized but compact urban area that will contain a concentration of different urban functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. Areas developed as a community urban center shall, in accordance with the Miami-Dade �°y £ xrat+.t p. n+,y x .: -= - •: ;. �dr'� 7�.a `.�Y}' �' �::h� _ d� Comprehensive Development Master plan, have a radius of 700 to 1,800 feet but may a radius of one-half mile where recommended in an area plan. The land uses surrounding the South Miami Transit Station consist of a United States Post Office and automotive repair use to the north, strip commercial uses to the south and east, and an eight-story office building and vacant building to the west. As a result of the RTDIC review, changes have been incorporated into the station site master plan development standards submitted by Hometown Station, Ltd. The following are recommended: SOUTH MIAMI MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The following standards shall govern the use, site design, building mass, parking, circulation, and signage for all non-Metrorail development in the South Miami Rapid Transit Zone. All development uses of non-system structures, whether public or private in nature, within the Rapid Transit Zone of the Stage 1 Fixed-G.uideway Rapid Transit System, which includes all station sites and parking areas, shall be: consistent with the Miami-Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan in general, and the guidelines for development of Urban Centers, in particular (pages 1-37 through 1-40, 1999 edition); compatible with the Urban Design Manual prepared by the Miami-Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning (February, 1999 or latest edition); in compliance with Chapter 33C, Fixed-Guideway Rapid Transit System— Development Zone (1 through 5); in compliance with Chapter 33, Zoning, Division 6,. Commercial Signs on Rapid Transit System Right-of-Way (121.20 through 121.4); and compatible with Metrorail Compendium of Design Criteria Volume I, Systemwide Design Criteria, Section 9.03.2.2, Chapter 9, Fire/Life Safety, and other portions of the Compendium as applicable. Additionaliy all projects, without exception, shall be submitted to the Miami-Dade Transit Agency Fire/Life Safety Committee for compliance review. 1) Purpose. The purpose of these Master Plan Development Standards is to provide the guidelines for future development within the boundaries of the South Miami Transit Station portion of the Rapid Transit Zone (as described below). The Master Plan Development Standards have been prepared to be compatible with the concept of South Miami's Transit-Oriented Development District and with adjacent existing uses. The Master Plan Development Standards are designed to encourage mixed use, high density projects within the Station area, and to provide a pedestrian friendly atmosphere in keeping with South Miami's Hometown District. The Master Plan Development Standards are very site specific and take into account existing uses within the boundaries of the site. Unless specified to the contrary, the Master Plan Development Standards supercede all conflicting requirements in Chapter 33 and Chapter 18A of the Code of Miami-Dade County. 2 tfr 1. s. r<,ry •�'.r f y� ''utT.-. 'L'. Ff'y„_ti' f n N The Master Plan Development Standards promote a concentration of different urban functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. The Master Plan Development..Standards implement a parking code that treats parking as an element of public infrastructure in an urban center, and that recognizes the shared parking benefit of vertically mixed development and the opportunities of an enhanced Metrorail connection. These shared benefits will further the achievement of the public goals of "Eastward Ho" and the orientation of development near existing public transportation corridors. 2) Boundaries. These Master Plan Development Standards shall apply to development in the South Miami Transit Station, defined as the area bounded by Sunset Drive, SW 59`h Place, SW 701h Street and the Right of Way for U.S. Highway No.1, as shown on the legal description and survey attached hereto as Exhibit No.1("South Miami Station"). 3) Existing Uses. The South Miami Transit Station currently contains the fixed guideway for the Rapid Transit System, the. South Miami Station, a Miami-Dade County Fire Station, a rectangular . five level parking garage containing approximately 1100 parking spaces, a triangular five level parking garage containing approximately 674 parking spaces, and a structural connection to the South Miami Metrorail Station. These structures shall be considered as being in compliance with these Standards. This section shall not be construed as to modify the requirements of applicable building codes and safety standards. The rectangular garage may not be credited toward parking regulations as specified elsewhere in these Standards;. the triangular garage may be credited toward said regulations. 4) Definitions. Terms used in this section shall take their commonly accepted meaning unless otherwise defined in Chapter 33 or Chapter 28 of the. Code of Miami-Dade County. Terms requiring interpretation soecific to this section are as follows: a) Arcade / colonnade: A roofed structure, extending over the sidewalk, open to the street except for supporting columns and piers. b) Building Height: The vertical distance from the crown of the adjacent street to the highest point of a flat roof or parapet, or to the underside of the eaves.

South Miami was recently named an All City by the National Civic T League. The goal is to help restore and complete a crucial piece of this i. .1 evolving;dynamic community.This development will build upon the investments that the Miami-Dade Transit Agency,the City of South Miami,Community � ... Redevelopment Agency and neighbors have made over many years,and will leverage improvements to the immediate physical environment in order to promote economic revitalization over a much larger area.A collection of thin"liner building"elements will wrap . around and atop the existing garage,adding new round-the-clock occupants and putting a whole new human face on the station. Inside,the garages are being dramatically brightened up and refurbished.The edges of the buildings will feature storefronts along the sidewalks and arcades overhead,and new balconies,terraces and windows will overlook the streets and the square. Binding together and complementing the existing garage and platform,these elements will help change the station area into a unified,urbane place.

The project includes up to 675 parking spaces in the existing parking garage serving the South Miami MetroRail Station. The project is to be developed in three phases with ultimate build out in the year 2008. The site is located in the City of South Miami on the south side of SW 70th Street east of SW 59th Place. It is estimated that the proposed project will generate 267 vehicle trips during the AM peak hour and 232 the PM peak hour. Primary access to the site is via two existing driveways. One driveway is located on SW 70th Street. The other driveway is located on SW 59th Place. The SW 70th Street cross-section provides for one lane in each direction with parking on either side. At the signalized intersections with SW 62nd Avenue and SW 59th Place parking is removed to accommodate left turn lanes. SW 70th Street appears to have a 60' right-of-way. Within that right-of-way there are 6 sidewalks with 2' of curb and gutter on either side and 34' of pavement. Although, due to its location in a redevelopment and infill district, the project is exempt from City of South Miami concurrency standards; level of service analyses were conducted for the purpose of identifying any speck localized impacts of the project which might need to be mitigated. The level of service analysis was conducted for the existing year 2001 conditions and future conditions, in the year 2008, with and without the project. These analyses consisted of link level of service analysis. The analysis concluded that: • the proposed project will not have any impact on the existing roadway levels of service in the area; and, • there are no specific roadway improvements required to accommodate the additional traffic generated by the proposed project. 1 M. 'O � ?r OINTRODUCTION - Hometown Station is a three phase development consisting of an office/retail component a residential/retail component, an assisted living component, and parking. As shown in Figure 1, the site is located on the south side of SW 70th Street east of SW 59th Place. The proposed development consists of the components shown in Table 1.

SW 59TH PLACE Traffic flow on SW 59th Place is good. SW 62ND AVENUE Traffic flow on SW 62nd Avenue is generally good. During the PM peak hour queues are created in the right hand lane of southbound SW 62nd Avenue at its intersection with Sunset Drive. These are attributable to the high volume of right turn traffic, disruptions created by the bus stop between Sunset Drive and SW 70th Street, and traffic exiting the 7000 SW 62nd Avenue building. JACKSON M.AHLSTEDT,P.E. HOMETOWN STATION February R8.2002 Page 8 — �s _ Tb )�7 i ' SW 70TH STREET w. z. Traffic flow on SW 70th Street is good. Peak hour queues are created at the intersection with US-1. SUNSET DRIVE Traffic flow on Sunset Drive is good. For a short period of time, PM peak hour queues are created in the westbound direction at the intersection with SW 67th Avenue. During the PM peak hour eastbound U-turn traffic represents a high percentage(33%)of the traffic in the left turn lane. These left turns create operational problems for the eastbound left turns on Sunset Drive and southbound right turns on SW 62nd Avenue. TABLE 3 EXISTING LINK VOLUMES LINK BASE.OHV FACTOR$ 7601 YEAR..

The project will be able to utilize up to 675 existing on-site parking spaces. Parking will be provide for residents, employees and visitors to the site. The project planner currently estimates that the project would be required to provide approximately 488 parking spaces. 11.0 PEDESTRIANS Little pedestrian activity was noted in the immediate vicinity of the site. There are currently side walks on the east side of SW 59th Place and south side of 70th Street adjacent to the -site. There are pedestrian buttons without pedestrian signals at the intersections of SW 70th Street and SW 62nd Avenue, and SW 70th Street and 59th Place. There are pedestrian buttons with pedestrian signals at the intersection of Sunset Drive and SW 62nd Avenue. 12.0 PROJECT SITE PLAN Traffic and transportation aspects of the proposed site plan were reviewed and analyzed. 12.1 PROJECT DRIVEWAYS The proposed project utilizes two existing two-way driveway serving the site. One driveway is located on SW 70th Street and the other driveway is located on SW 59th Place. Table 19 summarizes the AM and PM peak.hour driveway volumes anticipated at the service points.

Analysis of potential inbound queues for the AM and PM peak hours indicates that there is approximately a 99% probability that the queue should not exceed 1 vehicles plus the vehicle being served. 12.2 PEDESTRIAN ACCESS The proposed site plan provides good pedestrian access to both SW 70th Street and SW 59th Place. 13.0 CONCLUSIONS After reviewing the results of the roadway link analysis, it appears that there will be no changes in level of service by the year 2008 with or without the project. While the anticipated future increase in traffic in the area will result.in some deterioration in levels of service, project traffic will not result in a change in the level of service on the roadway rinks in the area. The proposed project does not require any modifications to the roadways in the area. JACKSON M.AHLSTEDT,P.E. HOMETOWN STATION February 28,2002 Page 32 Located in the heart of"the best hometown on the Metrorail line,"Hometown Station will be built within and around the South Miami Metrorail Station. South Miami was recently named an All-America City by the National Civic League. The goal is to help restore and complete a crucial piece of this j •`, evolving,dynamic community.This development will build upon the investments that the Miami-Dade Transit Agency,the City of South Miami,Community Redevelopment Agency and neighbors have made over many years,and will leverage improvements to the immediate physical environment in order to promote economic revitalization over a much larger area.A collection of thin"liner building"elements will wrap around and atop the existing garage,adding new round-the-clock occupants and putting a whole new human face on the station.Inside,the garages are being dramatically brightened up and refurbished.The edges of the buildings will feature storefronts along the sidewalks and arcades overhead,and new balconies,terraces and windows will overlook the streets and the square. Binding together and complementing the existing garage and platform,these elements will help change the station area into a unified,urbane place.
