LAND USE AND ZONING As evidenced in Figure 2.1, the existing land uses within the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area are primarily single - family and low- density multi- family residential to the north; a mix of single- family, multi - family residential, townhouses, commercial, parks and institutional in the center; and mostly office, commercial, industrial, utilities, and institutional on the south side. Vacant parcels are scattered throughout the area. Earlier this year, a mixed -use development project called the Valencia was constructed at 6001 SW 70th Street. The Miami -Dade County's Existing Land Use map has not been Updated to reflect the site's new use so it is depicted in Figure 2.1 as being vacant and commercial use.

DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS The information contained herein was derived from the 2000 Census Summary Files 1 and 3. Summary File 1 includes basic demographic and housing characteristics from the census "short form" which went to all households. This information is readily available with precision down to the Census Block Level. Summary File 3 data are from the census "long form" sent to a sample of one -in- ten households. These data include population, economic, and social measures and are only available down to the Census Block Group Level. Census data was compiled at the Census Block Level for most of the population and housing information contained in this report. Because detailed social, economic and housing information is not available at the Census Block Level, data was also collected at the Census Block Group and Census Tract Levels. Detailed tables are located in Appendix AC. The South Miami Community Redevelopment Area consists of a majority of Census Tract 76.03 (58 %). The Census Block Groups (all within CT 76.03) include 76.03:04, 76.03:03 and portions of 76.03:02 (21%) and 76.03:01(18°/x). These Block Groups that form Census Tract 76.03 hereafter will be referred to as "CT 76.03 ". The following Census Blocks comprise the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area: 76.03:1026 thru 76.03:1033; 76.03:2003; 76.03:2004; 76.03:3000 thru 76.03:3013; and 76.03:4000 thru 76.03:4016. Additionally, the Miami -Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning prepared the South Miami Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area Profile in April of 2003 (See Appendix RD). Because the Community Redevelopment Area includes approximately 98% of this South Miami Target Area, the information within that document was of great assistance in the demographic analysis of this report. 1. POPULATION ESTIMATES AND TRENDS The resident population located within the CRA represents 18% of the City of South Miami's total population. Population growth is as follows: City of South Miami = 1.0% growth, Population, 1990 = 10,404 Population, 2000 = 10,741 Redevelopment Area = 1.1 % growth, Population, 1990 = 1,700 (approximate) Population, 2000 = 1,951 CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA 1 -28 -04 Page 9 CRA PLAN UPDATE — PHASE II SELECTED DATA & ANALYSIS UPDATE The redevelopment area almost entirely consists of a minority community. The 2000 Census figures indicate that 83% of the residents in the South Miami CRA are Black or African American whereas the City is 25% and County is 20 %. Approximately 13% of the SMCRA residents are White whereas both the City and County are around 70% White. Figure 2.4 illustrates the racial diversity of the Redevelopment Area compared to the City and County.

In 2000, about 44% of the population was below 25 years of age compared to 31% in the City and 34% in the County. Approximately 13% were 65 years and over, similar to the City and County percentages (14% and 13 %, respectively). Family households in the Redevelopment Area were less likely to be comprised of married couples (21% compared to 40 % Citywide and 48% Countywide). The percent of family households headed by a female householder (20 %) was much higher than the City and County percentages (7% and 9 %, respectively). CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA 1 -28 -04 Page 10 CRA PLAN UPDATE — PHASE II SELECTED DATA ANALYSIS UPDATE 2. HOUSING In 2000, renter - occupied units accounted for 61% of all occupied units in the South Miami CRA, higher than both the City (37 %) and the County (42 %). Vacancy rate for the redevelopment area was 6 %, higher than the City (3 %), but less than the County (9 %). The average household size of occupied housing units within CT 76.03 was 2.84, with an owner - occupied average of 3.62 and renter occupied average of 2.13 persons per household. The average household size of occupied housing units for the City was 2.47 and the County was 2.84. More than 30% of the households in CT 76.03 had 4 persons or more living in the household. As depicted in Figure 2.5, much more of the housing in the City and CT 76.03 is older than newer. More than 64% of the housing in CT 76.03 is more than 35 years old, compared to 73% in the City of South Miami and 45% in the County.

INCOME AND POVERTY RATES Median household income in the Redevelopment Area is considerably less than that of the City and County as evidenced in Figure 2.6. In fact, more than 62% of the households within the SMCRA Census Block Groups had incomes below $35,000, compared to 39% in South Miami and 42% in Miami -Dade County.

Of particular note is that all 144 renter - occupied housing units in South Miami with cash rent less than $300 a month are located within CT 76.03. A significant number of renter households in the Redevelopment Area are paying a considerable amount of their income on gross rent compared to those in the City and County. Nearly 42% of the specified renter households in CT 76.03 are paying more than 30% of their income on housing, compared to 39% of the households in the City and 47% of the households the County. Nearly 38% of the owned households (with and without a mortgage) in the Tract are paying more than 30% of their income on housing, compared to 33% for the City and 37% for the County. CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA 1 -28 -04 Page 13 CRA PLAN UPDATE — PHASE II SELECTED DATA & ANALYSIS UPDATE As shown in Figure 2.8, a significant number of households within CT 76.03 spend more than 30% of their income on housing, particularly rental households.

EDUCATIONAL LEVELS The educational attainment levels of the redevelopment area's residents continue to lag behind the regional levels. In 2000, nearly 36 %oof the population age 25 and older within CT 76.03 never graduated high school while 18% in the City and 32% in the County did not graduate. 15% had completed four or more years of college compared to 38% in South Miami and 22% in Miami -Dade County. Figure 2.9 shows the educational attainment breakdown within CT 76.03. 63% of the total 25 and older population within this area does not have college experience. FIGURE 2.9: 2000 Educational Attainment in CT 76.03 Source: 2000 Census; Summary File 3 5. EMPLOYMENT AND BUSINESS ® Not High School Graduate ■ High School Graduate ❑ 1 -3 Years College ❑ 4 Years of College + In 2000, 6% of the labor force in CT 76.03 was unemployed, slightly higher than the City and County figures (4% and 5% respectively). About 48% of area residents over 16 were not in the labor force, i.e., neither employed nor looking for work, compared to South Miami's 36% and Miami - Dade's 43 %. The ability of a household to own a vehicle is a significant indicator of an area's level of distress. According to the 2000 Census, 29% of the occupied households within CT 76.03 do not own a vehicle, with over 20% being renter- CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA 1 -28 -04 Page 15 CRA PLAN UPDATE - PHASE II SELECTED DATA & ANALYSIS UPDATE occupied. Only 12% of the occupied households in the City and 14% in the County do not own a vehicle. Furthermore, occupied households that own 2 or more vehicles comprise only 19% of the area, compared to 36% in the City and 35% in the County. These figures illustrate the importance of reliable public transportation to the community within the redevelopment area. C. TRANSPORTATION As indicated in Figure 2.10, the major traffic corridors transecting the South Miami CRA including Sunset Drive, Red Road, and South Federal Highway /South Dixie Highway are currently operating at or below LOS E. Figure 2.11 depicts that traffic congestion conditions will continue to worsen by Year 2010. However, Miami -Dade County has adopted LOS standards that allow roadways within the. Urban Infill Area to operate at 150% of their capacity because of the presence of extraordinary transit. This was enacted to promote infill development and discourage suburban sprawl. In the 1998 South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan, it was anticipated that the advent of the MetroRail stop at the South Miami station and the City of South Miami's adoption of the Transit Oriented Development ordinance in 1997 would help relieve some of the traffic pressures in the area, however traffic congestion remains to be a serious issue for the SMCRA. Certain measures to promote the use of alternative modes of transportation have been proposed to help alleviate traffic congestion in the CRA. As an initiative of The People's Transportation Plan, a Trolley System is being implemented to provide transportation services within the business district, Community Redevelopment Area, City Hall, and Metrorail Station. Funding is proposed to be earmarked from the half -penny transportation surtax, approved by Miami -Dade County voters in 2002. This service is tentatively set to begin operations on January 2, 2005, on Fridays and Saturdays and the First Sunday of each month. Figure 2.12 shows the tentative route. The Miami -Dade MetroRail Transit station located within the CRA is South Miami Station. As depicted in Figure 2.13, annual ridership at this station was at an all - time low of 701,460 riders in 1998. Since then, annual ridership has averaged nearly 840,000 riders, though not through a steady growth trend.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING The Plan indicated that from 1980 to 1990, existing housing units in the City of South Miami decreased by a total of 162 units. Census information reveals that the number of existing housing units in the City rebounded about 3% between 1990 to 2000. Similarly, the redevelopment area has seen few new housing units constructed until recently. Given the redevelopment area's unusually high poverty level, the large amount of households spending a significant percentage of their income on housing, predominantly older low -value housing availability, and influx of new service- oriented jobs associated with recent retail development, the construction of new affordable housing alternatives should be a vital mission for the SMCRA. Of primary concern is that new "affordable" housing in the area be offered for rent or sale at a rate that the current residents can afford. In general terms, "affordable housing" is dependent upon an income eligible household's ability to spend no more than 30% of its income on either rent or mortgage payment. Income eligibility is defined in terms of area median income (determined by HUD), adjusted for family size. Categories include "extremely low- income" (at or below 30% of area median income), "very low- income" (at or below 50% of median income), "low- income" (at or below 80% of median income), and "moderate income" (at or below 120 % of area median income; at or below 100% of median income for federal programs). Appendix CE depicts the Florida Housing Finance Corporation's 2004 Income Limits Adjusted to Household Size for Miami PMSA used to establish income eligibility and 2004 Maximum Gross Rents by Number of Bedrooms used to establish the rent schedule for each income eligibility category. The 2004 median income for the Miami PMSA is $45,400. Using the charts in Appendix CE, it can be derived that in order for for -rent housing to qualify as affordable in the CRA it would need to fall within the range of $275 /month for an efficiency for an "extremely low- income" household to $1,833 /month for a 4- bedroom unit for a ,'moderate income" household. The most predominant housing size, the 3- bedroom unit, ranges from $410 for an "extremely low- income" household to $1,644 for a "moderate income" household.

SMCRA INITIATED PROJECTS The following projects have been either completed or initiated by the SMCRA: . Nvvv Located along SW 58t" Place between SW 66t" and 68t" Streets at Murray Park, the $5.4M Multi- Purpose Center is a multi - purpose neighborhood service center. In additional to being a recreational facility, after- school programs and computer skills training is offered. This is a completed project. The Mobley Building The Mobley Building purchased by the SMCRA, has been identified as a potential business incubator facility. Other options for the 4 bays include allowing non- profit and /or social service agencies lease the space, or (although less desirable) leasing the space to for - profit businesses that will service the neighborhood. SW 59th Place /Church Street Streetscape Proiect The intent of the SMCRA/City initiated Church Street Proiect is to provide urban and streetscape designs, including sidewalk widening, roadway improvements, utility upgrades, landscaping, lighting and pavement marking, for SW 59th Place and the intersections with SW 64th, SW 66th, SW 67th, SW 68th, SW 69th and SW 70th Streets. Improvements for Phase 1 are complete (see Figure 3.2), and construction is planned to commence on Phase 2 this fiscal year. B. MIXED -USE AND RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS The following projects are either completed, planned or recommended mixed -use or residential projects. Figure 3.1 depicts their location. The CRA seeks to reach 15% affordable housing in future proiects. Madison Square Madison Square is a SMCRA mixed -use redevelopment proposal intended to create an anchor for the north end of the Church Street (a current streetscape improvement project) and to help stimulate revitalization efforts in the area. The City currently owns several of the parcels and is presently assembling the remaining properties. As identified in Table 2.3, there are inconsistencies between the height and density requirements of the Zoning district (Neighborhood Retail) and Land Use designation (Mixed -Use Commercial Residential). Furthermore, while the Land Use designation allows mixed -use development, the Zoning district does not. There issues will need to be resolved prior to redevelopment. Once all of the properties are under City ownership, an RFP will be issued for the construction phase. CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA 1 -28 -04 Page 24 CRA PLAN UPDATE - PHASE ZZ CURRENT AND PLANNED PROJECTS The Valencia The Valencia Apartment Homes, developed by Realty Development Corporation, the multifamily development arm of The Lane Company, is a $40 million 290+ unit luxury, mid -rise apartment community plus 6,200 square feet of retail space. Construction commenced winter 2002, with the first units available for occupancy in February 2004. Hometown Station The Hometown Station, developed by Jubilee C.D.C. in association with Masvidal Partners and Permanentia, Inc., is a $16.5 million mid -rise mixed -use infill development complex on the Metrorail site. Phase I of the planned project will consist of an 8 -story office building (160,000 square feet) which will house the County's Housing Agency, 4,000 square feet of retail use and 10 live /work apartment units, attached to the existing Metro -rail parking garage. Phase II will include residential and /or office uses. The development has numerous objectives including new residential development initiatives targeted at local minority - owned businesses, increased ridership on the Metrorail line, and positive enhancement of the City of South Miami. The first phase of the project is currently under construction. As identified in Table 2.3, the Land Use designation (Mixed -Use Commercial Residential) allows mixed -use development however the zoning district (Public Institutional) does not. This will need to be resolved prior to the redevelopment of future phases. Some concerns have been raised about whether future phases will be developed. South Miami Gardens South Miami Gardens is a planned 7 acre+ public housing project owned and operated by Miami -Dade County. This project is currently in the design and feasibility stage. As identified in Table 2.3, inconsistencies between the height and density requirements of the Zoning (RM -18) and Land Use designation (Multiple - Family Residential) will need to be resolved prior to redevelopment. NE CRA Mixed -Use Site A planned private sector development project has been proposed for this 7 acre+ site located in the TODD zoning district with these development parameters: 400+ market rent dwelling units and approximately 12,000 square feet of ground floor retail including a 1,000 space parking structure. It has been recommended by the City that any development agreement for this site include provisions that the applicant pay for or produce adequate park land or land for recreational purposes to satisfy the impact of development and that at least 5 percent of the multi - family units constructed will be classified and marketed as affordable housing units. Hardee Courts Hardee Courts is a recommended redevelopment project located on approximately one acre. The December 2001 CRA Multi - Family Housing Study CITY OF SOUTH MZAMZ, FLORIDA 1 -28 -04 Page 25 CRA PLAN UPDATE — PHASE ZZ CURRENT AND PLANNED PROJECTS suggested rowhouses for this site, which is inconsistent with the Zoning and Land Use limitation of single- family dwellings. This will need to be resolved prior to redevelopment. Hardee Gateway Hardee Gateway is a recommended redevelopment project located on less than one acre. The December 2001 CRA Multi- Family Housing Study suggested townhouses and limited retail uses for this site, which is inconsistent with the Zoning and Land Use limitation of single- family dwellings. This will need to be resolved prior to redevelopment. Central Place Central Place is a recommended redevelopment project located on approximately 1.67 acres. This projects was first recommended in the December 2001 CRA Multi- Family Housing Study and proposes half of the site for multi- family housing and the other for retail including a 13,000 square foot mini- grocery store.

MIAMI -DADE COUNTY OFFICE OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUNDED PROJECTS SECTION ONE GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF REDEVELOPMENT AREA AND FINDING OF NECESSITY A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF REDEVELOPMENT AREA The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (SMCRA) Redevelopment Area is composed of approximately 185 acres containing approximately 600 separate property folios with a total taxable value (TTV) of approximately $69 million according to Dade County Property Appraiser's office as of 1/8/98. This area represents approximately 12.2 % of the overall physical area and 1 1 % of the TTV of properties. A legal description of the redevelopment area is included in this Plan along with a map of City -owned and maintained properties. The existing land uses are primarily a mix of commercial, retail and office, single and multi - family residential, parks, educational (JRE Lee Community School) and public /institutional uses. A copy of the current adopted land use map is included in the Plan. A map indicating the location of public schools is also included. The land use pattern follows the historic development of the area and the requirements of existing and past zoning. There are no Dade County enclaves in the redevelopment area. US Highway One, Red Road and Sunset Drive are the major traffic corridors and are bordered by retail, office and other commercial uses.

The advent of the MetroRail stop at the South Miami station has assisted in traffic calming, and the adoption of the Transit Oriented Development ordinance by the City Commission in 1997 may further relieve traffic pressures. The Community Redevelopment Area includes approximately 98% of the original Dade County South Miami Target Area as created by the County's Office of Community Development. A map of the County - designated target area is included with a delineation of the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area overlaying the original boundaries for comparative purposes. The residential area is primarily a minority community which consists of comparatively lower income residents with a higher poverty rate as compared to the balance of Dade County. A distressing statistic shows that the poverty level for individuals in this area has risen from 37% in 1985 to 38% in 1990. This is a trend that must be reversed. The poverty level for families has risen even more dramatically from 34% to 37% over the same time period. According to data in the Dade County Office of Community Development report, which is incorporated into the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Report, approximately 85% of the population is native -born; households in this area are more likely to rent than own their homes. Crowding is a significant problem, especially in rental households. The value of housing, both mean home value and rent is below that of Dade County. Only about 17% of the children in South Miami lived in married- couple households in 1990. More than two in five lived with a single parent, and about 70% of the households with children were headed by a South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 2 SW 62 ST E SW 64 ST Ws >v N■ m� SW 68 ST SW 71 ST.

South Miami CRA area residents had a lower level of educational attainment than the Dade County average. Workers in this area were concentrated in service and blue collar rather than professional occupations. In summary, the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area residents face a range of serious social and economic challenges and are in need of tools to assist them in improving their future. B. FINDING OF NECESSITY .. ' 4 As part of the creation of a - Community Redevelopment Agency andM x the adoption process fora . y redevelopment plan, a resolution addressing the Finding of Necessity has been adopted by the South Miami City Council and the Dade County Board of Abandoned Residential Property County Commissioners. These resolutions, in the Heart of the Redevelopment Area numbered 154 -96 -9908 and R- 1374 -96, were adopted on September 3, 1996 and December 3, 1996 by the City and County respectively. In addition to the statutorily required resolution, the City of South Miami commissioned the undertaking of a full field Blighted site in Need of report to verify the need for redevelopment Redevelopment Assistance in the redevelopment agency's area of operation. This report was completed in May of 1996. From April through August of 1997, the City redevelopment consultant conducted twelve field visits and South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 3 W. three community walking tours and conducted additional research which validates and concurs with the City- initiated report. (1) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF FINDING OF NECESSITY LIE r Abandoned O #fice Building on 70th Street- The establishment of a redevelopment area requires an official finding of necessity for redevelopment by the City and acceptance by Dade County. A finding of necessity for redevelopment is based on the existence of conditions found in a community as described in Florida Statute: Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, Chapter 163, Part III. Upon review and assessment of the study area and application of appropriate criteria set forth in the Statute, the proposed City of South Miami CRA area was found to have a combination of conditions that require a need for redevelopment. The following conditions were applicable in the study area: Building Deterioration. A large number of structures were found to be in either major or minor deteriorating condition. These structures are scattered throughout the study area. Site Deterioration and Deficiencies. Site deterioration and deficiencies were prevalent in the form of broken glass, broken pavement in streets and sidewalks, overgrown weeds in vacant lots and existing structures, abandoned foundations from demolished buildings, deteriorated fences, and garbage and debris in the front yards or back alleys. page 4 South Miami community Redevelopment Plan r Abandoned O #fice Building on 70th Street- The establishment of a redevelopment area requires an official finding of necessity for redevelopment by the City and acceptance by Dade County.

Site deterioration and deficiencies were prevalent in the form of broken glass, broken pavement in streets and sidewalks, overgrown weeds in vacant lots and existing structures, abandoned foundations from demolished buildings, deteriorated fences, and garbage and debris in the front yards or back alleys. page 4 South Miami community Redevelopment Plan • Unsanitary Conditions. Unsanitary conditions include abandoned cars, furniture and fixtures, accumulation of trash and debris, broken glass, environmental hazards i.e., septic tanks, grease traps at auto repair, fiberglass and painting shops. Air quality and waste water are concerns in some blocks. Drainage deficiencies. Drainage deficiencies were observed during rainy days of the external window shield field study. Several blocks showed signs of flooding whereby water was standing on the streets and sidewalks. Diversity of Ownership. Diversity of ownership was found in several blocks where buildings or parcels were owned by five or more entities per block. • Age of Structures. There are several blocks where the age of the structures on average are 40 years or more. Several additional structures ranging between 30 to 39 years in age. Property Maintenance Code Violations. Violation of property maintenance standards lend to substandard conditions arising in the buildings and inhibits investments in the area for redevelopment. Non- Conforming Structures. Size of Units. Several blocks were identified where the size of a unit to its lot size did not meet the minimum code requirements. Non- Conforming Structures. Parking Requirements. Non - conforming parking arrangements were identified in blocks where off - street parking does not meet minimum code standards as well as where streets are too narrow for parked cars and two -way traffic. Closed Buildings. Closed buildings indicate obsolescence and stagnant economic growth. Ten buildings were found to be closed or boarded up in the study area. Vacant Lots. Vacant lots denote non - productive use of land in a community which leads to blighting conditions i.e., unsanitary conditions, breeding ground for crime, and limits the tax revenues to the city. Inadequate Street Layout. Several blocks have streets that are not wide enough to maintain two -way traffic flow, and several blocks do not have adequate street parking. High Crime Rates. Grant theft, robbery, burglary, auto theft, auto burglary, battery, homicide, and sex offenses are prevalent in the study area. High crime rates reflect a lack of adherence to the law and public safety. This inhibits redevelopment initiatives. Based on the facts stated in this report, the City's governing body may reasonably request a delegation of authority from Dade County under the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, Chapter 163, Part III, and may make an official finding that a redevelopment area is necessary in the study area. A South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan AMEM page 6 copy of the Finding of Necessity is attached as Appendix A and contains quantifiable data on each criteria discussed above. (2) METHODOLOGY Study Area The initial study area was defined by Dade County in 1986. Throughout this ten - year period, it has remained as a target area for economic and community development in the Comprehensive Plan of both the City and Dade County. Field Survey The study area was reviewed and assessed by consultants and City staff during February through April of 1996. The consultant examined buildings from the exterior. Notations were made on a worksheet when buildings showed signs of deterioration. Three classifications were used to describe building deterioration: major deterioration, minor deterioration, or dilapidated. Public Records Other information was obtained from the City or Dade County records which included the 1 990 and 1995 real property tax rolls, property and maintenance code violation records, police crime data, City of South Miami Evaluation and Appraisal Report, and the City of South Miami's Comprehensive Plan. These records were used to obtain data on: property and maintenance code violations, drainage deficiencies, unsanitary conditions, diversity of ownership, age of structures, non - conforming structures, vacant lots, inadequate streets, and high crime rates in the area. Compilation of Data Data obtained in the field and from City records and reports were assembled into a spreadsheet format. The block by block data include the following: number of buildings /parcels per block, number and percent of buildings showing deterioration (major and minor), presence of site deficiencies, presence of unsanitary conditions, presence of drainage deficiencies, diversity of ownership, average age of buildings, number of blocks having buildings in non- compliance with building and zoning codes (size of unit to lot, parking), number of closed buildings, vacant lots, property and maintenance code violations, and crime rates as reported by the Police Department. The detailed block by block data is shown in Exhibit B: Conditions Survey in the full text of the Finding of Necessity. Criteria Each block was assessed as to whether it did or did not meet the criteria established relative to blighting conditions as stated in the Florida Statute Chapter 163.335. Findings and declarations of necessity and 163.340. Definitions. They are listed below. 1. Building Deterioration of 20% or More. (Standards for building deterioration are stated in the building deterioration section of this report.) 2. Presence of Site Deterioration or Deficiencies. 3. Presence of Unsanitary Conditions. 4. Drainage Deficiencies. 5. Diversity of Ownership. 6. Average Age of Structures: 40 -plus years. 7. Property Maintenance Code Violations. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 8 8. Presence of Non - Conforming Structures: Size of Unit to Lot size. 9. Presence of Non- Conforming Structures: Parking Requirements. 10. Presence of Closed Buildings. 11. Presence of Vacant Lots. 12. Presence of Inadequate Street Layout. 13. High Crime Rates in these Categories: grant theft, robbery, burglary, auto theft, auto burglary, battery, homicide, and sex offenses. All data is presented in detailed maps and attached to the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan as Appendix A (Finding of Necessity).

South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan Page 19 SECTION fNE AFFORDABLE HOUSING & RELOCATION POLICY A. AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICY STATEMENT CURRENT HOUSING MARKET According to the Bureau of the Census 1990 housing figures, the number of existing housing units in the City of South Miami actually decreased from 1980 to 1990 by a total of 162 units. This occurs at a time when approximately two - thirds of the City's ad valorem tax burden falls upon residential property owners. This reduction in housing units further increases the tax burden on South Miami homeowners. Over this same ten -year span, the percent of households in the redevelopment area which are below the poverty level actually rose from 37% to 38 %, thus making it more difficult for residents to compete for quality home ownership within the City of South Miami. The existing pressure for affordable housing will be further increased by the advent of new service /refail jobs that will be created by the redevelopment of the Bakery Center into The Shops at Sunset. While this redevelopment creates welcomed new jobs and business opportunities, it will increase the need for affordable housing in the nearby area. The expansion of redevelopment area housing stock will allow for current and future South Miami residents of the redevelopment community to have low -cost transit access to job sites. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 20 Based upon 1995 data provided by the Beacon Council and the Appraisal and Real Estate Economic Associates, Inc. (AREEA), the average cost of a new home in Dade County is $139,910 and rising. Used home sale prices average $125,956. The assessed value of homes in the redevelopment area range from $32,911 to $70,262. These facts make it a priority for the SMCRA to adopt an Affordable Housing Policy that will: (1) In Phase I, allocate $1.1 million for the potential acquisition of 57 vacant residential lots designated for affordable housing; (2) In Phase 1, allocate $565,000 for the rehabilitation of existing affordable housing stock; (3) In Phase I, allocate $715,000 for Mortgage Subsidy Guarantees to assist low and moderate income families to purchase affordable housing; (4) Implement a Role Model Residential Recruitment Program (refer to page 35 of this Plan) for home ownership in the area in which the affordable housing programs will be implemented; (5) Provide additional incentives to developers to construct housing in their redevelopment projects for low and moderate income residents; (6) Assist in the construction of new housing on land that is owned by public entities such as community development corporations or local governments though the establishment of a Tax Increment Financing district; (7) Establish housing prices that reflect "affordability" in the market of potential homebuyers from the area and at the time of redevelopment; (8) Aggressively implement redevelopment programs that improve and protect the quality of existing housing stock; f (9) Establish priorities and incentives for local builders, realtors and financial institutions to participate in affordable housing redevelopment programs; and (10) As required by Section 163.360(2) (c) F.S., the SMCRA shall coordinate with the Metro -Dade Housing Agency and other affordable housing entities functioning within the boundaries of the redevelopment area. South Miami Community Redevelopment Alan page 21 kS� r- 1 B. RELOCATION POLICY Under Florida Statute Section 163.362(7), the SMCRA is required to adopt a policy statement assuring that there will be replacement housing provided for those persons displaced from their homes by Agency- initiated community redevelopment activities. As stated and adopted in the SMCRA Affordable Housing Policy portion of this plan, it is the Agency's goal and intent to increase the housing stock in the redevelopment area not to replace it with a non- residential use. There are no redevelopment programs being pursued or adopted designed to displace any residents from their homes. In the future, if any unforeseen redevelopment project involving the SMCRA requires that even one person be involuntarily displaced from either a rented or owned housing unit, the project proposal must contain a relocation plan which adheres to all applicable laws. The relocation proposal must be approved by the Board of the SMCRA in a publicly noticed Agency meeting prior to any final approval of the project. f any future projects were to require relocation and Agency monies were to be "partnered" with Federal funds, the SMCRA shall make it a condition of Agency participation that all provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act are met. This strategy adheres to the requirements of Chapters 163 and 421, Florida Statutes.

South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan a page 27 SECTION SEVEN REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, PROJECTS AND STRATEGIES INTRODUCTION This section contains the programmatic tools which are designed to allow the SMCRA to bring about cumulative redevelopment. Several of the programs are defined as "Quick Victories" (QV).

At this time, the Board will also allocate financial resources based on priorities, community needs, likelihood of success and funding availability. A special public meeting will be held semi - annually to review the Agency's progress regarding its assigned programs for each fiscal year. It is prudent to consider redevelopment in five -year phases. Successes or failures in the Phase I five -year period from FY 1998/99 through FY 2002/03 will have a significant impact upon the revenue generating capability of the tax increment financing mechanism used in the redevelopment area for the funding of future programs.

UNDERSTANDING THE BUDGET PROCESS The projected revenue expenditures presented in this section are required as part of a complete redevelopment plan, but do not commit the SMCRA Board of Commissioners to any expenditure of funds. The Board shall adopt an annual budget and work program in accordance with its adopted By -Laws at the onset of each fiscal year. This process will be carried out in accordance with the Dade County Interlocal Agreement and Florida Statutes. B. PROJECTED REVENUE FOR FIVE -YEAR PHASE I IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM The SMCRA will make every effort to leverage non -TIF funds such as grants for the redevelopment effort. For purposes of the budget, the only two revenue sources presented are annual TIF and an estimated $6 million to $8 million TIF Revenue Bond issued early in the Agency's second year. It should be noted that the issuance of any redevelopment bond must be approved by the City Commission and the Dade County Board of County Commissioners. Bond revenues combined with annual TIF revenue of approximately $1 million to $1.3 million starting in FY 1999/2000 and annual TIF revenue of approximately $25,000 in the start -up year total approximately $9,000,000 to $13,225,000 available for the Five -Year Phase I Redevelopment Program. The year -by -year break -out of revenue availability is presented below. It should be noted that all figures presented are estimates only. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 45 It is important to note that the revenue projections utilize current City and County millage rates and maximum TIF and bond dollar amounts. Revenues will fluctuate based upon future millage rate changes, the Total Taxable Value of the redevelopment area, and the degree of County participation. The estimates used are based upon a contribution by Dade County of 95% of the total tax increment generated in the redevelopment area. The actual amount of contribution shall be determined by the Miami -Dade County Board of County Commissioners as pursuant to Section 163.387 F.S.. C. PROJECTED EXPENDITURES Listed below is a budget matrix which includes all of the redevelopment programs presented in this Plan in Section Seven. In addition, an entry for Project Implementation and Management has been added to identify operating costs. It is important to note that the dollar amounts used in this category are capped at 20% of annual TIF revenues. This is the standard allocation for implementation and management and cannot be exceeded; however, it may be reduced. This allocation must be authorized by the Interlocal Agreement with the Dade County Board of County Commissioners and the South Miami City Commission. , _ . . ._ _ _ . South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 46 It is likely that the revenues for the SMCRA start -up year will be relatively small, between $0 and $25,000. Therefore, it will be the Agency's strategy to implement Quick Victory projects with the first year's annual TIF. The SMCRA Board of Commissioners will determine which Quick Victory programs are to be undertaken when they adopt the first year work plan and official budget. It is important to note that this expenditure chart presents the main potential revenues that may be generated by TIF and bond sources over the first five -year phase. The estimated range of revenue is between $9 million and $13,225,000. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 47 z O a z ui 2 LU 0. 9 z Q J 0.

INTRODUCTION The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (SMCRA) contains a number of residential units occupied by low to moderate income households. This section provides a review of potential impacts to the area residents and the neighborhoods in general. Redevelopment in South Miami is in its earliest stages and future impacts of cumulative redevelopment activities can not be quantified. Future impacts generated by redevelopment activities will be reviewed on a case by case basis as the proposed projects proceed through the various stages, boards and activities with the development approval process. B. LAND USE, ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS At the time of the adoption of the Plan, it shall be the intent of the SMCRA to conform to all pertinent laws, ordinances and resolutions of the City of South Miami as it relates to the approval of required permits or development orders for SMCRA- initiated projects which require such approvals. C. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION The redevelopment area contains an existing roadway network that services the area. There are isolated roadways (near 63rd Street and 59th Place) that may need to be repaved or rerouted by the SMCRA to improve general traffic flow. There is presently no redevelopment project planned that will cause the failure of any existing roadway. The major impact on traffic circulation is being addressed by The Shops at Sunset (Bakery Centre) DRI Development South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 51 Order, as approved by City Resolution No. 134 -94 -9536 adopted December 6, 1994 and its subsequent amendments. In addition, the City has recently received approval by the Florida Department of Community Affairs of its Evaluation and Appraisal Report which updated all elements of the Comprehensive Plan, including Transportation. The SMCRA Plan shall not be in conflict with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the SMCRA is to provide traffic circulation improvements which will increase the redevelopment capacity and residential quality of life. The utilization of compact development patterns and redevelopment projects, such as infill housing and mixed -use development of larger vacant areas, will encourage the use of alternative and less expensive means of transportation. Those alternatives to the single- occupant automobile will be a public trolley, bicycles and walking by residents and visitors. The guidelines in City advocated programs such as Transit Oriented Development District (TODD) and a pedestrian overpass will further improve the quality of transportation in the SMCRA. D. COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES The SMCRA's activities are anticipated to have a positive impact on existing community facilities and services within the redevelopment area. The Plan's strategy is to retain, improve and expand existing facilities such as Murray Park and Marshall Williamson Park. The SMCRA will also advocate a broader, more locally and economically oriented use of the existing MetroRail station. This may include a future commercial /retail component. The SMCRA will also work to improve the two vacant buildings located on SW 68th Street near the City's proposed Multi- Purpose Center site on the corner of SW 58th Place and SW 68th Street. Any redevelopment of these properties will South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 52 a be designed and undertaken in a way to reduce the cost of the Multi- Purpose Center following the activities specifically addressed by Chapter 163, F.S.. An example of a joint benefit would be SMCRA- developed parking that would be shared by the Multi- Purpose Center. The Agency may also provide landscaping in the pubic rights -of -way that would be of benefit to the Multi- Purpose Center. A landscape, streetscape and sidewalk improvement program throughout the redevelopment area will also be implemented by the Agency. E. EFFECT ON SCHOOL PROPERTIES The JRE Lee Community School, an "alternative school," is presently the only school in the redevelopment area. According to the Dade County School Board, the capacity of the school is 297 students while the enrollment is 300 (1.01% of capacity). The residential program, consisting primarily of infill housing and rehabilitation of existing housing, is projected to likely increase the school age population by fewer than thirty of students of various ages. An additional benefit of redevelopment will be the increase in property values which will increase the revenue provided to the Dade County School System. F. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY The redevelopment activities of the SMCRA 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.

Lee Center 1521 SW 62 Ave NORTH Not to Scale South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 53 A SECTION TEN SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (SMCRA) Redevelopment Plan shall be in effect for a maximum of thirty (30) years from the date of its adoption. The Plan may need to be amended in order for it to maintain its relevance and currency; to respond to priorities as they emerge; to serve new redevelopment areas; and to add needed specificity as projects, tax increment revenues and expenditures are defined in more detail over time. Amendments to the Plan can only be made by the Board of County Commissioners of Miami -Dade County upon recommendations of the SMCRA Board. The SMCRA will initiate any amendment action by adopting a Resolution recommending that the Board of County Commissioners of Miami -Dade County amend the Plan in a specified manner. The SMCRA may then hold an advertised public hearing on the proposed modification or amendment and approve the modification by passage of an appropriate Resolution. Any amendment action also requires pre- notification of the affected taxing authorities by registered mail. The governing State Statute does not specifically require that Plan amendments be reviewed by the Local Planning Agency (Planning & Zoning Board) for conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, but this may be advisable if there is any question relative to an amendment's conformance with the City Comprehensive Plan. Also, at the time of amendment approval, the original "findings made at the time of Plan adoption [F.S. 163.360(6)(a-d)] should be reaffirmed with regard to the proposed amendment or modification. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 54 If any provision of this Community Redevelopment Plan or subsequent amendments shall be found to be invalid, unconstitutional or otherwise legally infirm, such provision shall not affect the remaining portions of the Plan. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 55 SECTION ELEVEN TECHNICAL INFORMATION, MAPS AND GENERAL PLANNING POLICY This section contains a checklist charting the location of all requirements for a Community Redevelopment Plan as contained in this document and identified in Section 163.362 F.S.. A. TECHNICAL PLAN ELEMENT TECHNICAL ITEM SECTION Legal Description and Justification for the Redevelopment Area Boundaries 1 General Description of Redevelopment Area 1 Neighborhood Impact Review 9 Identification of any Capital Improvement Projects in the Redevelopment Area in the City of South Miami CIP Budget 11 Affordable Housing Policy Statement 5 Relocation Policy 5 Safeguards and Accountability Element 4 Projected Redevelopment Expenditures 8 Statement Providing a Time Certain for Completing All Redevelopment Tasks 4 The following technical elements are addressed in more detail as described below. (1) Identification of any Capital Improvement Projects in the Redevelopment Area in the City of South Miami CIP Budget: The City of South Miami, as in the case with most cities with a population under 25,000, has a limited Capital Improvements Program. The City is actively pursuing funding for the development of a Neighborhood Community Center which will be located in South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 56 the Redevelopment Area. The primary funding source for this project is being sought through grant funds. In addition, the City also undertakes repaving and beautification on a systematic annual basis regarding street improvements. This is funded in the City's annual operating budget. (2) Statement Providing a Time Certain for Completing All Redevelopment Tasks: As prescribed in Section 163.362(l 0), F.S., the time certain for the completion of all redevelopment tasks and programs presented in the SMCRA Plan shall occur 30 years after the plan is approved, adopted or amended pursuant to Section 163.361(1) F.S.. All tax increment financing revenue from all sources will cease to be collected and deposited into the SMCRA Redevelopment Trust Account after the 30 year period has ended. The SMCRA shall adhere to all requirements as set forth in Chapter 163, F.S. and in the Interlocal Agreement approved by the Dade County Board of County Commissioners. To the greatest extent it determines feasible, the SMCRA will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the needs of the community for private sector participation in redevelopment activities. The SMCRA will make every effort to responsibly leverage its financial resources to generate the maximum amount of funding for redevelopment activities. This includes but is not limited to utilizing TIF monies as matching funds for public and private grants. The SMCRA will work in concert with groups such as Enterprise Florida, the Beacon Council, Chamber South and the Red /Sunset Merchant's Association to South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 57 create positive economic development and to foster job creation and business opportunities in the assigned Redevelopment Area. All SMCRA development activities shall be subject to the City of South Miami's Land Development Code, Comprehensive Plan and the City Code of Ordinances. The SMCRA will work with all local groups to ensure public input and participation in the implementation of its Redevelopment Plan and activities. The SMCRA will work to coordinate and maximize all redevelopment activities with the appropriate local governments, housing authorities, Dade County, the State of Florida and the Federal Government. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page58 A. LAND ACQUISITION The South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan includes a number of initiatives and programs to be undertaken over the next thirty years in order to facilitate future redevelopment and new projects within the redevelopment area. A number of these initiatives may involve the acquisition of land within the CRA Area. The expansion of available housing, the growth of existing businesses and the attraction of new businesses in many instances requires the availability of suitable land parcels of proper size, served by infrastructure and with appropriate land use and zoning. In addition, the elimination of slum and blighted conditions near potential residential and commercial sites will enhance conditions and the opportunity for private sector investment in the Community Redevelopment Area. A primary responsibility of the SMCRA will be to ensure that adequate redevelopment parcels are available in a timely manner for future redevelopment. In order to alleviate slum and blighted conditions and influences, the SMCRA and the City of South Miami may authorize the use of voluntary acquisition and /or eminent domain as necessary. Eminent domain will only be pursued after passage of appropriate resolutions by the City and after negotiation for a voluntary purchase has been deemed unworkable by the City Commission. Therefore, eminent domain will be utilized only as a last resort in cases where the acquisition of property is determined to be in the public interest. The Agency's primary goal and desire is for private sector redevelopment investment. The SMCRA will purchase /acquire only if the private sector is not responding to the redevelopment needs of the community or is unable or unwilling to take the financial risk. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 59 GI I kTA W 1 An inventory totaling 57 vacant housing sites /and five vacant residential structures has been assembled for potential acquisition. An exact and complete listing of all properties is included in the Plan in Appendix B. Each site is identified by folio number, address (where assigned), value history, TTV, owner /agent and lot dimension. All lots contained in the manifest are zoned for residential use and have a residential land use in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The 62 potential sites have been analyzed and placed into four classifications for acquisition and redevelopment: (1) Top Priority, (2) High Priority, (3) Voluntary Acquisition Only, and (4) Unsuitable for Acquisition. The City Commission may acquire properties by purchase, gift, lease, option, grant, bequest, devise, eminent domain or otherwise together as provided by the interlocal agreement and powers granted by the Miami -Dade County Board of County Commissioners (1) TOP PRIORITY. Top Priority sites for redevelopment are those owned by Habitat for Humanity, Miami -Dade County /HUD, Model City Development Corporation and the City of South Miami. The sites are not high on the acquisition list but have the highest potential for redevelopment to expand the housing stock. There have been twelve of this type of site identified. The ownership of the twelve parcels is identified on their respective folio sheets. (2) HIGH PRIORITY. The parcels that are privately owned are in the High Priority classification with regards to redevelopment and acquisition potential. There are forty of these sites. All sites and vacant homes in this classification are identified by private ownership. of a non- religious nature on their respective folio sheets. They are all identified in this Plan and in Appendix B. South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 60 (3) VOLUNTARY ACQUISITION ONLY. A total of seven sites have been identified as suitable for housing redevelopment but have been placed in the classification of Voluntary Acquisition Only for the purposes of redevelopment. The SMCRA shall not use eminent domain to acquire these properties. These sites are all owned by religious entities and- have a tax - exempt status. (4) UNSUITABLE FOR ACQUISITION. Two vacant properties, Folio # 09- 40 -25- 009 -0010 and Folio # 09- 40 -25- 004 -0340, have been identified as unsuitable for housing redevelopment. These sites are public rights -of -way for public utilities. FI^ rU NESS AND JOB EXPANSION LAND ACQUISITION P A total of 41 vacant commercial sites /and two vacant commercial buildings have been identified and considered for acquisition and redevelopment. Four sites are pending proposed zoning changes to commercial: Folio # 09- 40 -25- 007 -0190, 09- 40 -25- 007 -0200, 09- 40 -25- 007 -0370 and 09- 40 -25- 007 -0380. All other sites are zoned commercial and are designated as commercial in the Land Use Element of the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Properties which will may potentially be acquired by the SMCRA for commercial redevelopment have been analyzed and placed into the same four classifications as those sites identified for housing redevelopment. These classifications include: (1) Top Priority, (2) High Priority, (3) Voluntary Acquisition Only, and (4) Unsuitable for Acquisition. (1) TOP PRIORITY. Ten properties have been identified as having a high potential for acquisition and commercial redevelopment due to public ownership and have been classified as Top Priority. These sites are South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 61 owned by the City of South Miami and Dade County /HUD and are prime candidates for public /public and public /private cooperation. (2) HIGH PRIORITY. There are twenty -seven privately owned vacant commercial sites which have high acquisition potential for redevelopment. As is the SMCRA stated goal, the Agency will take all steps available to encourage private investment in the redevelopment potential of these properties. This will include the implementation of all appropriate redevelopment programs. The Agency will acquire the sites on a case -by -case basis as viable redevelopment projects are identified. The acquisition will occur by means and powers granted to the City Commission and SMCRA by Miami -Dade County through the interlocal agreement. (3) VOLUNTARY ACQUISITION ONLY. Only two properties, both owned by Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, are in this category. The folio numbers of the properties are 09- 40 -25- 007 -0190 and 09- 40- 25 -007- 0200. The City Commission and SMCRA will only consider the acquisition of these properties by voluntary means. (4) UNSUITABLE FOR ACQUISITION. There are no vacant commercial sites that have been identified as unsuitable for commercial redevelopment. D. COST AND FUNDING. The budget expenditure and allocation for land acquisition are presented in detail in Section 8 of this Plan. A total of $1,100,000 is available for land acquisition under the SMCRA Residential lnfill and New Housing program. This allows for an average purchase price of $17,741.94 per housing site. The Land Acquisition fund for commercial redevelopment has an authorization of $800,000. These funds shall be expended on a case -by -case basis. The South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan page 62 commercial acquisition program is not designed for the SMCRA to maintain ownership of the properties but to acquire and then sell at a value determined to be in the public interest as part of a redevelopment project. This will allow for the expansion of the business and job base while placing the previously acquired properties back on the tax roll at a higher assessed value. This process will allow for the replenishing of this fund and the expansion of future TIF revenues. E. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE. The acquisition of parcels identified as High Priority will be phased over a thirty -year implementation period. Land acquisition will proceed on a case -by- case basis concurrent with public and private development plans and be utilized to facilitate planned projects consistent with this Community Redevelopment Plan and Comprehensive Plan. As tracts or sites are given final approval by the CRA Board for the initiation of land acquisition efforts, the Agency and the City will pursue appropriate acquisition techniques including, but not limited to, fee simple purchase, easements and leasing. If fee simple acquisition efforts are unsuccessful in the opinion of the SMCRA Boar, ad the South Miami City Commission, they may employ eminent domain powers if granted in the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with Miami -Dade County in order to obtain property ownership.

These areas are targeted for assistance by the Miami Dade County Office of Community and EconomiQ Development under the U.S. HUD Community Development Block Grant program. These profiles present data from the 2000 Census, Summary Files 1 and 3. Summary File 1 includes basic demographic and housing characteristics from the census "short form" which went to all households. Summary File 3 data are from the census "long form," sent to a sample of one-in-ten households in Miami -Dade. These data include economic and social measures such as income, poverty, employment, and education. Where possible, data from 2000 are compared to 1990 and 1980 data to describe change in these communities. Support for these profiles was provided by the Miami -Dade County Office of Community and Economic Development. I South Miami The South Miami Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area is a Black community in the City of South Miami. It is a low-income and high - poverty area. The poverty rate for persons in 2000 was 49 percent, up from the 38 percent recorded in 1990. The percent of families in poverty grew from 38 to 43 percent. Households in South Miami were more likely to rent than own their housing units. Home values and rents were well below the County average. South Miami residents had a lower level of educational attainment than the County average. In sum, the South Miami Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area showed some population and housing growth, but showed increasing poverty levels. The area continues to face a range of serious social and economic challenges. 1 r ' � r pi q i n r N ---, f r A. 3 Ll S � w i A Z F°t e 1 3 T t , � 0 ci;l MI Introduction The South Miami Revitalization Area is located in the City of South Miami in a roughly rectangular area bounded by SW 62 Street on the north; SW 62 Avenue on the West; and SW 72 Street on the south. The eastern boundary is SW 57 Avenue between SW 72 and 64 Streets; then west to SW 59th Avenue and north to SW 62 Street. Originally known as Larkins, the area has a long history as a tightly -knit Black settlement. The first Black settler, Marshall Williams, arrived in 1912 from Madison, Florida. He bought land in Larkins and encouraged other Black residents of Madison to do likewise. Through the 1920s the economy depended largely on the railroad, which was used to ship fiuits and vegetables. Demographic Characteristics Total Population The 2000 population of 2,091 was an increase over the 1,726 recorded in 1990, reversing a downward trend in the 1980s. Black and Hispanic Population The South Miami NRSA was a Black community (92 percent) in 2000 as it has been for many decades. Hispanics were 11 percent of the population up from the 6 percent reported in 1990. 3 Table 1 Population by Race and Hispanic Origin South Miami and Miami -Dade County 1980-2000 Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, Summary Tape File IA, Florida, 1980, 1990.

The agency became official on October 1, 1998. The life of a CRA is 30 years. The agency has a Board of Commissioners consisting of the 5 elected officials (Mayor and Commissioners) and two additional members appointed by the Commission. Additionally, the South Miami CRA has a five- member Advisory Board appointed by the City Commission. The Community Redevelopment Agency is established under the provisions of chapter 163 Florida Statutes, and governed by the enabling ordinances and resolutions, and the interlocal agreement with Miami Dade County Board of County Commissioners. CRA's are established to help reverse conditions that contribute to reduced property values, increased crime and other conditions associated with slum and blight by conferring special powers and financing capabilities not available to cities. A CRA Plan must be prepared and approved. The Plan establishes programs that may be implemented by the agency. Only programs in the approved plan can be funded. All of the programs and expenditures of the CRA must be for projects within the designated Redevelopment area. The plan also establishes powers of the agency. Those powers may not exceed those powers established in the statute. The plan can, however, establish powers withheld from the agency. T he South Miami CRA Plan includes a section titled "Powers Not Given to the SMCRA." One of the powers specifically not given to the SMCRA is "The power to indeaendently zone or rezone property. " This is stated on page 13 and again on page 18 of the Plan. Planning documents such as Hometown Plan One and Hometown Plan Two, which were created with extensive public participation, along with the City's Comprehensive Plan, are considered -by the CRA Board as the guiding planning documents for the area. 2 programs approved in the Plan, and within the CRA area. The South Miami CRA receives 50% of the tax increment. The remainder of the increased assessment due to redevelopment within the CRA area goes to the City and the County general revenue funds. The South Miami CRA received no funding from TIF for its first (current) year of operation because there was no increase in the property assessment within the CRA area. When authorized or approved by the City Commission and the Miami Dade County Board of County Commissioners, the SMCRA may issue redevelopment revenue bonds and other financial instruments as per Section 163.385. Florida Statutes. Bonds issued under this section do not constitute indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitations or restrictions as they apply to the City of South Miami or Dade County. The Shops at Sunset Place is within the boundary of the CRA. The County Property Appraiser assessed this development in December 1998. The development was incomplete at that time. The first year increment from Shops at Sunset Place will be owed to the CRA in October 1999. It is anticipated that the partial completion will result in a TIF trust fund deposit of approximately $400 - 500,000 for the SMCRA Based on this estimate, the City will receive an increase from ad valorem taxes of approximately $250,000 and the County will receive a slightly, less amount from this development. When the assessment of the completed development occurs in December 1999, the resulting increase is expected to create a TIF trust fund deposit of approximately $1,000,000 for the'SMCRA for fiscal year 2000 -01. The City and County would receive approximately $500,000 each based on this estimate. R Over the 30 year life of the CRA, an estimated $15 - $20 million dollars that would have gone to the County will be returned to South Miami through the CRA TIF mechanism The Community Redevelopment Agency is currently operating with an advance from the City of South Miami. Additionally, the agency has raised more than $350,000 during the first six months to implement quick victory projects and to operate a free trolley service for two years. The City has the option of assessing the CRA for repayment of the funds advanced for expenses related to creation and operation. The next two to three years are crucially important to the CRA. TIF funding of up to $3,000,000 is expected be available for implementing programs over this period. The SMCRA is currently staffed with a part-time position and utilizes the services of a CRA consultant, and CRA legal counsel. Both the City and CRA pay the shared position of Assistant City ManageriCRA Director. The CRA Board approves all projects funded by the CRA. Board meetings are held on the first Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Commission Chamber, 6130 Sunset Drive, South Miami. A public workshop is being planned to be held in the CRA area within the next few weeks to share the information in this report and to receive input from the community. The phone number for the CRA office is 305 -668 -3878, and is located at the above address. 5 Status Report on Administrative Issues Interlocal Agreement for CRA Miami -Dade County is a "home rule" county. Community Redevelopment Agencies in home rule counties must be approved by the County Commission. Additionally, CRA's and the Municipality must enter an Interlocal Agreement following approval of the agency. This agreement defines terms and conditions such as the percentage of the tax increment that the CRA will receive. CRA's can receive up to 95% of the tax increment within their district. The Miami Dade County Commission limited the South Miami CRA to 50% of the increment. The interlocal agreement also defines the amount that can be spent for administration (10 percent), establishes requirements regarding reporting, budget approval, and audits. It may delineate other requirements established by the County Commission. The terms of the agreement are currently being negotiated. Diana Morris, CRA Director, Don Delaney, CRA Consultant, John Dellagloria, CRA Legal Counsel and Earl Gallop, City Attorney are the members of the negotiating team for the South Miami CRA. A committee composed of County employees, including the Director of the office of Community and Economic Development and staff from the County Attorney's office represents the County. Negotiations began in July 1998. South Miami CRA is currently waiting for the County staff to set a date and time for what we expect to be the final negotiation session. After the final negotiation with County staff, the agreement will be presented to the County Commission issiol t Vr approval. Interlocal Agreement for Trolley operation Miami -Dade County requires municipalities to enter an interlocal agreement for operation of transportation services. The CRA Director and CRA Legal Counsel are working with County staff to finalize this agreement. A draft document has been presented to the County and we are awaiting the final document from the County Attorney's office. The Interlocal Agreement must be presented to the County Commission for approval once it is finalized. A CRA Budget The CRA budget must be approved by the Miami -Dade County Commissioners after it has been approved by the CRA Board. In order to complete the County review and approval process in time to begin operation under that budget in October 1999, it is important to begin our budget development, public hearing and CRA Board approval process soon. The goal is to present a CRA Board approved budget to the County in July. Following the CRA Advisory Board training in April, the CRA Board and Advisory Board will be asked to begin budget development. Public hearings shall be scheduled in June, and a biannual budget presented to the County in July.. 7 South Miami CRA Trolley One of the many programs in the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan adopted and approved by the City Commission and the Miami -Dade County Commission is operation of two public trolleys. The Development Order between the City of South Miami and the Shops at Sunset Place included a requirement that the Shops at Sunset Place pay for approximately 20 hours per week of a shuttle service that was to be implemented by the City. The City's Comprehensive Plan includes a commitment to the public to provide this type of service to be in operation by 1998. The City, however, with many demands on limited revenue, was not in a position to.fund the operation of a shuttle. No plans had been made (other than the goal in the Comp Plan) to provide this type of service to the community. Staff and the CRA Consultant, devised a plan to achieve all three objectives. The solution was to allow the Shops at Sunset Place to fulfill their financial obligation for the 20 hours a week for shuttle service by paying their total obligation upfront. Shops at Sunset Place paid the CRA $225,000 to implement the Trolley Service which was approved in the Plan. The funds paid by Shops at Sunset Place will operate a free trolley service to the community for two full years. It also enables the City to fulfill the commitment stated in the Comp Plan. Without this arrangement, the City and the community would not have this free service that is transporting passengers across U.S. 1, and helping to relieve the parking and traffic problems that have come with the new activity in our downtown area. The red and green old -style trolley adds to the hometown atmosphere while making it easier, faster and safer to cross U.S. 1 for shopping and dining in the downtown retail district, as well as grocery shopping. The trolley makes regular stops at the Winn Dixie store on 73 Id Street. The newly implemented route includes a stop each hour between 11:30 and 4:30 at South Miami Hospital, City Hall /Library, Metrorail (2 times per hour), Winn Dixie, Sunset Drive, and 62nd Avenue near the Lee Park Coop and the Senior Center. During the evening, the trolley makes a shorter cycle serving primarily the Metrorail station and Shops at Sunset Place. The route will continue to adjust as we determine ridership from the various stops. The trolley is currently 8 transporting approximately 1000 passengers per week. The new expanded route and with approximate pick -up times posted, we anticipate a significant increase in ridership. This innovative approach to finding solutions that meet identified community needs and objectives is an excellent example of what the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency will accomplish for this community, and it represents one of the first major Quick Victories for the SMCRA. THE BONUS: The "up- front" payment by Shops at Sunset Place of $225, 000 can earn interest income of up to $90, 000 over the life of the investment. This money will be used for another CRA Quick Victory Project. AND....... we anticipate revenue from advertising on. the trolley to total almost $24.000 annually. Quick Victory Projects: Residential Paint -up /Fix -up The CRA, partnered with Wounded Healers, a social service organization established to help young people get back on track by learning marketable job skills and working to obtain their GED, to accomplish a residential paint -up /fix -up project. To date, the Wounded Healers, under Rev. Bill Green's direction, has painted seven homes for residents of the CRA area who needed assistance in improving the appearance of their homes. This multifaceted project was made possible through the efforts of Don Delaney, the CRA Consultant. He persuaded Bank Atlantic Foundation to contribute funds for a Quick Victory project. They gave the agency its first contribution - a check for $2,500. Then he went to Home Depot, and The Comras Company and asked each to contribute to the project. Home Depot agreed to contribute the paint ($1,500) and The Comras Company contributed an additional $500 to the project. Additionally, we asked the churches within the CRA area to recommend one person from their congregation who needed assistance with home improvement. Through the tremendous effort of Rev. Green, these young men became very motivated and enthusiastic. Commissioner Bethel reported that they were up very early on Saturday morning ready to begin work before their supervisor showed up. They are proud of their work. — and so are we. This CRA Quick Victory was a success in many ways. Several homeowners in our community now have freshly painted homes and renewed pride. Several young men in our community now have new job skills and new hope. This CRA strategy allowed redevelopment to be tied to social services. 10 Quick Victory: Commercial Rehabilitation Two of the sites within the CRA area that workshops and walking tours participants brought to our attention were the FP &L substation adjacent to Murray Park, and the U.S. Post Office. The CRA made these priority projects for (wick Victories. FP &L Substation For the past three years or so, the City and FP &L tried to come to an agreement regarding needed improvements at the substation bordering Murray Park. After the CRA was approved, this project was undertaken as a redevelopment advocacy project. After meetings with our new FP &L representative, we agreed upon a plan. FP &L agreed to contribute $1,000 to the City to install a windscreen along the fence that borders the substation, and for landscaping. Additionally, they agreed (and have completed) landscaping along 68th St. boundary and a new fence around the entire property at a cost of approximately $25,000. Estimated value of project: $26.000 U.S. Post Office For more than a dozen years, the City had attempted to cause the Post Office to take down the chain -link and barbed wire fence that surrounded the property. This was one of the most frequently mentioned eyesores in the community when we held public meetings and. community walks. The CRA Consultant contacted elected officials in Washington for assistance. Shortly thereafter, the Post Office agreed to take down the fence. The improvement is amazing, and they are not done yet. Within the next few weeks, the Post Office will complete a total landscaping plan to beautify the facility. Their enthusiastic cooperation in making this improvement is being applauded by the community. Estimated value of proiect: $25.000 ADDITIONALLY, the CRA worked with the City Manager and Public Works Department to implement a plan to improve the appearance of the City -owned property next to the Post Office — the site of the 1I former inspection station. The City Public Works Department has removed the barbed wire from the fence, moved the fence back seven feet, and will soon landscape the area in front of the fence to improve the appearance. 12 Proposed Redevelopment Project at 55th Avenue and 71St Street The SMCRA was directed by the City Commission to issue a Request for Proposals and Qualifications for redevelopment of City -owned property located at 58th Avenue and 71St Street. The property currently provides 44 metered parking spaces and generates very little revenue for the City. A primary objective of the redevelopment project is to increase available parking in the downtown area. The direction of the Commission was in response to mounting concerns regarding the insufficiency of parking in the downtown area which had been the focus of much discussion by downtown merchants and residents during the past years. The SMCRA received a qualified proposal for the redevelopment project from the Comras Company and Simon Properties Group. The CRA Board and the City Commission voted unanimously to proceed with negotiations on the submitted proposal. The preliminary project plan would provide 400 to 500 additional parking spaces, 20,000 square feet of retail /restaurant space, and possibly 60,000 square feet of office space. The Tire Kingdom property and other properties are included in the planned redevelopment project. The proposal is being reviewed and negotiated at this time. A draft agreement will be presented to the City Commission in June. if the agreement is approved, the developers will then begin the process of gaining approval for the construction of the y project through the normal City process which includes public hearings. The SMCRAA RCP Q required potential developers opers to pay review fees tot the CRA totaling $25,000. Costs such as title search,. property appraisal and environmental audits will be paid from that revenue, however we anticipate that at least $15,000 will be available for another CRA Quick Victory Project. The proposed project will: help relieve the parking shortage in the downtown area o greatly improve the appearance of the U.S. 1,158th Avenue/ 71St Street triangle ® create an increase in ad valorem tax revenue o add approximately 350 new jobs to the CRA area and economy 13 raise additional revenue through fees and licenses increase the Tax Increment for other redevelopment projects ® and many other financial benefits that cities derive from redevelopment. 14, Metrorail Station Redevelopment Project Miami -Dade County issued a Request for Proposals for redevelopment of the South Miami Metrorail Station. A proposal was submitted by Designers Dover & Kohl; Chael & Cooper; and Pistorino & Alam, and Developers, Jubilee CDC; Masvidal Partners; Permanentia. The project is not a CRA initiated project, but will likely request to form a public /private partnership with the SMCRA to ensure the success of the project. This type of project is featured in the Hometown "Too" Plan. The proposed project includes approximately 100 units of affordable housing. It also includes workilive loft units and retail space. 15 Projects Currently in Process Commercial Rehabilitation Project The CRA staff and consultant will recommend to the CRA Board that some of the review fee revenues derived from the Request for Proposals be used for a Quick Victory Commercial Rehab Project. Commercial properties in the area of SW 59th Place would be selected to receive financial assistance to do paint -up /fix -up, landscaping, and signage improvements. Field work has been completed and cost estimates are being calculated on this quick victory project currently Marshall Williamson Park Safety Improvement Program The CRA Plan includes park improvement programs. There are two parks within the CRA area. The CRA Director submitted a grant for CDBG funds to improve safety features in Marshall Williamson Park. We have been awarded $50,000 for this project. We will invite the community to participate in planning the best use of this money to improve safety for those who use the park. Sewer Connections A project was approved about three years ago to provide sewer connections in the South Miami Target Area. The funding for this project totals $272,000. Previous, such projects have made the sewer lines available, but some residents lack resources to pay for the impact ees and hook up costs which can be as high as $4,500. The result is the lines are there, but families still don't have sewer service. OCED staff and CRA staff have created a strategy that may be the solution to clearing the obstacles blocking this program's implementation. A strategy letter has been submitted by the CRA Director to the Director of OCED, requesting a transfer a portion of those funds to the SMCRA. The SMCRA will administer the funds to assist qualifying homeowners to connect to the sewer lines. This is an excellent example of the type of cooperation that can be achieved between the CRA and other public agencies to overcome obstacles in accomplishing redevelopment objectives. 16 REDEVELOPMENT IS CONTAGIOUS Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity deserves special recognition for their accomplishments within the district designated as the CRA area. Their ongoing efforts to provide housing for families have had a tremendous impact on the community. REDEVELOPMENT IS CONTAGIOUS. The Sieger Architectural Partnership A partially completed building located next to the Four Points Hotel was in drastic need of redevelopment. its deterioration was devaluing and also hurting neighboring business. It was featured in the South Miami CRA Plan as one of the buildings potentially eligible for commercial rehabilitation. The property was recently purchased for complete refurbishing by The Sieger Architectural Partnership to house their offices. This is a major improvement for the CRA community. We applaud and welcome Charles Sieger and his associates to our community. REDEVELOPMENT 1S CONTAGIOUS. Ravi Ramjit Ravi Ramjit owns businesses located on SW 59"' Place - European Automotive Repair Center and Mary's Restaurant. When approached regarding the possibility of participating in a commercial rehab project that would be funded by the CRA, Mr. Ramjit was excited about the possibility of the business community in his area receiving some much - needed improvement. Two weeks later, he called to say he was beginning improvements on his own. He hired young men from the neighborhood to do the painting and is working on landscaping improvements now. Hie will be asking the CRA to assist with signage for his newly rehabbed businesses. REDEVELOPMENT IS CONTAGIOUS. 17 Larkin Hospital Dr. Michel, CEO for Larkin Hospital, has a vision of creating new opportunities within our CRA area. The hospital is considering establishing a clinic and possibly a teaching hospital affiliated with Larkin. He and staff met with the CRA Director and Consultant several months ago to discuss the possibilities. We will work with them in any way we can to support their redevelopment efforts in our community. REDEVELOPMENT IS CONTAGIOUS. A positive change is taking place, but we have only begun our Itask. The goal of the South Miami CRA is to work toward the elimination of its need to exist 18 DRAFT OUTLINE ONLY OFFY2000 -2001 BUDGETMESSAGE July 30, 2000 Honorable CRA Board Julio Robaina, Chair Horace G. Feliu, Vice Chair David D. Bethel Mary Scott Russell Randy G: Wiscombe Dear Honorable Board Members: F PROPOSED FY 00 -01 CRA BUDGET u CRA Advisory .Board Lee Perry, Chair Helen Diaz, Vice Chair Charles J. Foschini Marshall Hannah William D. Tucker, Sr. I am pleased to submit the Proposed, Revised South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency's Fiscal Year 1999 -2000 Budget for your review and consideration. Please find Exhibit "A," the straightforward budget format that is required for approval by the Miami -Dade County Board of County Commissioners, and Exhibit "B," the detailed budget used locally. FY 1999 -2000 OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND- FO UNDA TION FOR SUCCESS CONSTRUCTED The past year witnessed the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) reach its most significant milestone since its inception —the receipt of tax increment finance (TIF) funding. Finally, substantial dedicated resources were available to an area in dire need of investment. In its first fully funded year, the CRA, with your guidance and support, successfully navigated one of its most important phases of evolutionary development and was able to capitalize on important opportunities and construct the foundation for future success. The CRA, in conjunction with its teammate, the City of South Miami, remain focused on, and dedicated to, uplifting the community, while maintaining the commitment to excellence, integrity and inclusion. Major accomplishments achieved during FY 1999 -2000 include: General • Approval and implementation of a nearly $1 million budget. i of 10 • Approval of an Administrative Reorganization which has resulted in better coordination and cooperation with the City of South Miami, a results - oriented team, and enhanced program implementation. • Negotiated a free 24 hour /7 days a week Police Substation within the HUD Apartment Complex. • Negotiated a free apartment within the HUD Apartment Complex for a South Miami Police Officer. • Promoted the CRA and its programs through select special events, including National Aids Testing Day, Rededication of Marshall Williamson Park and the Back to School Jam. • Designed and purchased project signs to be located at all active CRA project sites. • Enhanced marketing and analysis abilities by upgrading the CRA's GIS inventory. Residential Reinvestment • Allocation of $40,000 to Habitat for Humanity for the construction of four new single - family homes. • Allocation of $60,000 to Jubilee for the construction of six new single - family homes. • An additional $100,000 was appropriated in the FY 99 -00 Budget for the construction of an additional 10 new single - family homes. • It is estimated that this $200,000 investment in new single family houses will result in at least a $1.8 million increase in the tax base, homeownership opportunities for twenty families and the conversion of unsightly vacant lots into new single - family homes. • Approval of the implementation of the Multifamily Rehabilitation Program. • M & N Rentals, property owner of the "old pool hall" Multifamily Building located at 6647 SW 591h Place, has applied for a Multifamily Rehabilitation Program grant of $22,500 to paint the building, install fencing, pave the parking lot and plant landscaping. • Approval of the Code Enforcement Assistance Program. • Established the framework for the creation of the Homeowners' Assistance Program. • Hired John Whitehead III as a Multifamily Building Consultant to fully initiate the CRA's multifamily housing expansion and rehabilitation programs. Economic Development and Job Creation • Approval of locating the Working Capital Florida Program in the City of South Miami, which will result in the provision of • Business training to a minimum of 100 persons; and • Business loans to a minimum of 35 low -to- moderate income persons. • Initiated the process for creating the Banking Coalition. 2of10 U Commercial Building Rehabilitation • Approval of the rehabilitation of the vacant commercial building owned by the Wounded Healers and located at 6450 SW 59th Place, which will result in: • Bringing a dilapidated building located on the community's main street up to code; and • Bringing the Helen Bentley Center, a provider of a full range of quality healthcare services to all individuals, regardless of income, to the CRA Area for at least 12 -16 months. Infrastructure • Funded Infrastructure and Street Master Plans. • Hired John Whitehead III as an Infrastructure Consultant to provide the necessary technical expertise to initiate large capital projects such as the reconstruction of Church Street. • Granted $20,000 to the Lee Park Condominium Association for the reconstruction of sidewalks and parking lots. This grant was complimented by a $10,000 beautification and appearance improvement grant awarded by the CRA and the $75,000 investment made by the Association to paint and landscape the development. Street Beautification and Appearance Improvement • Granted $10,000 to the Lee Park Condominium Association for landscape improvements which significantly enhanced the site. This grant was complimented by a $20,000 infrastructure grant awarded by the CRA and the $75,000 investment made by the Association to paint and landscape the development. Transportation Improvements and Alternatives • Identified the CRA trolley as an under- performer and initiated the process to end the service. • Set forth a plan to operate a 22 -33 passenger shuttle. It is a more promising Transportation Improvements and Alternatives program due to its flexibility, ability to accomplish the transportation - related goals of the CRA Plan and cost efficiency. Law Enforcement • Initiated a community oriented policing initiative which features two walking beat police officers, Officer Gusman and Officer Jackson. • Funded a CRA Code Enforcement Officer responsible for increase code enforcement activities in the CRA Area. 3of10 General Counsel • Legislation Prepared CRA Resolutions, including: Board and Advisory Board by -laws. • Budget Policy. • Drafted and assisted in negotiating contracts, including: • Habitat for Humanity. • Jubilee. • Multifamily Rehabilitation Boiler Plate. • Lee Park Agreements. • Provided a high level of cost - efficient services, producing Budget Item savings. CRA Consultant • Provided continuity during period of Administrative reorganization. • Completed the Front Porch Florida Application. • Provided professional expertise in negotiating with the Lee Park Condominium Association, Habitat for Humanity. and Jubilee, among others. • Contributed to the implementation of CRA programming. THE FINANCIAL PROFILE OF THE SOUTH MIAMI CRA In its first fully funded fiscal year, the CRA was the beneficiary of the dynamic and unprecedented changes occurring in downtown South Miami. The completion of the Shops at Sunset Place, and its impacts on the surrounding property values, resulted in the total taxable value of the properties in the CRA nearly tripling in a single year, rising from approximately $68 million to $201 million. The economic engine designed to jump -start and drive the initial efforts of the CRA worked flawlessly. The resulting increment of $132,672,149 generated tax increment financing revenue in excess of $800,000. The CRA finally had the funds to initiate the implementation of long- awaited programming. Although the CRA did not anticipate such a steep rate of growth on a yearly basis, it did forecast slight growth in the total taxable value in fiscal year 2000 -2001. The CRA absolutely did not forecast that the economic engine that roared to life in FY 99 -00 would start missing. In FY 00 -01, in response to the steep rise in their total taxable values, and consequently tax bills, the Shops and other property owners applied for and received substantial reductions in their total taxable values. As a result, the projected TIF revenue in FY 00 01 is $87,967, or nearly 11 %, lower than the TIF revenue received in FY 99 -00. This 11 % decrease in TIF funding, in conjunction with last year's expenditure of approximately $72,000 in non - recurring revenues on the CRA Trolley, has reduced the 4of10 Proposed FY 00 -01 Budget by $113,158 or 12% from fiscal year 99 -00. This reduction in the CRA Budget is especially problematic due to the 10% cap on administrative expenses imposed by the County. Last year, the administrative cap severely impinged upon the CRA's ability to realize its goals and operate at a high level of efficiency; and unfortunately, the cost of administrative services is not directly proportional to the total budget. More than this year's administrative allocation of $84,073 would be needed to properly fund the CRA's true administrative costs whether the budget was $800,000 or $180,000. The CRA has no choice but to meet the challenges imposed by the 12% decrease in revenue and the 10% administrative cap. In fact, these challenges highlight many of this year's budget goals. FY 2000 -2001 BUDGET GOALS The primary goals and priorities of the second fully funded budget of the CRA are: Goal 1: Foster a "Team" Atmosphere with the Community, the City of South Miami and internally within the CRA Administrative Organization. The CRA made great progress in reestablishing the spirit of cooperation and collaboration with the Community, the City of South Miami and internally within the CRA Administrative Organization during the latter half of fiscal year 99 -00. This progress was reflected in the quality and quantity of program implementation and is essential to the CRA's continued success. Goal 2: Clearly demonstrate the potential of the Agency and of the Community. The Revised FY 99 -00 Budget made great strides towards clearly demonstrating the potential of the Agency —to greatly enhance the quality of life in the CRA Area- -and of the Community —to be a dynamic, I prosperous community with a high quality of life and high levels of municipal service — by focusing on CRA projects and, or, programs which represent longstanding dreams of the community. This focus cannot be lost, and, in fact, must be further intensified. Now that Working Capital Florida, Wounded Healers/Helen Bentley Center, the Single - Family Infill Program and Infrastructure /Street Master Plans have been funded, the CRA must ensure that the programs and projects are fully implemented. It is imperative that 1) as many participants as- possible access and utilize Working Capital Florida and the Helen Bentley Center; 2) the single family homes get constructed on time; 3) that new families receive financial assistance from the CRA and move into the newly constructed 5of10 homes as soon as possible; and 4) the master plans are immediately followed by the design of construction drawings for the reconstruction of Church Street or other such substantial capital improvement project. The CRA must directly and unmistakably touch people's lives in a positive and constructive manner. Goal 3: Reaching the community. One of the greatest challenges facing the CRA is the lack of information and misinformation regarding the CRA. Attaining these budget goals will facilitate a healthy and positive relationship with the CRA's constituents, but the CRA must actively and deliberately conduct outreach activities and programming. The CRA must be able to publicize its programming and opportunities to people within and outside of the CRA Area. Equally important is that the CRA receive information from the CRA Area and greater community. The CRA must stay tuned -in to the CRA community and market to truly be a community redevelopment agency. Unfortunately, there is not enough room within the administrative cap to provide an outreach coordinator this fiscal year. Therefore, the Budget proposes to rely on the Director, Administrative Assistant and BI# 12, Marketing /Advertisement &Promotions. The CRA administrative staff would dedicate available time to outreach activities and request that the Boards assist in this important task, while the Marketing /Advertisement & Promotions Budget Item would provide for marketing plans, advertisements and limited special events. Goal 4 Limit Major New Program Initiatives. There are a myriad of significant needs in the CRA Area, and the annual budget is currently too small to address many of them. There is a great temptation to commit funding to a majority of the programs in the 16 Budget Items. This must be avoided, however, because it is easy to fall into the trap of inadequately funding, and consequently inadequately implementing, sixteen major initiatives rather than fully funding and implementing four. At this point in its evolution, there is nothing more detrimental to the CRA than the embodiment or appearance of inaction or ineffective action. The CRA must remain focused on implementing the projects which represent longstanding community dreams, but stay vigilant for areas which require immediate action or have tremendous potential. 6of10 In FY 00 -01, the CRA must stay vigilant and steward two projects proposed for the CRA Area: • Jefferson Commons at South Miami (JPI) • Detailed in next draft Hometown Station • Detailed in next draft Goal 5: Remove Public Nuisances from the CRA Area. One of the most pressing and perplexing issues confronting the community is the presence of 'properties which are physically detrimental to public health, safety and welfare and, or, harbor people who are, or engaged in behaviors which are, detrimental to public health, safety and welfare. If the CRA is to uplift the community, it must first excise these cancers. Goal 6: The development of non -TIF revenue sources. If the CRA is to overcome the 10% administrative cap and the economic engine problems encountered in fiscal year 99 -00, it is absolutely essential that the CRA develop non -TIF revenue sources. The recent success of the City of South Miami in receiving state appropriations in Tallahassee and federal, state, and local grants has been noted. "Redevelopment" and "ill" are buzzwords in today's political arenas and substantial resources are available. The CRA must capitalize on these revenue opportunities. Leveraging CRA funds at a $1 (CRA) to $3 (other) ratio is not unlikely. Goal 7: Address, comply and implement the Interlocal Agreement and CRA Plan. The future existence of the CRA depends on its actions today. The Interlocal Agreement and CRA Plan authorize and regulate the South Miami CRA. In approximately four years, the CRA must go before the County Board of Commissioners and demonstrate that it addressed and complied with all requirements of the Interlocal Agreement and implemented significant aspects of the CRA Plan in order to receive the approval to continue to exist as the CRA. Without that approval, the CRA will cease to exist. Goal 8: Continue to enhance the efficiency of the CRA. The CRA continues to look for methods and techniques to increase efficiency and effectiveness in response to the desire to better serve its constituents, maximize redevelopment dollars and relieve the impingement imposed by the 10% administrative cap. 7of10 BUDGET ITEM HIGHLIGHTS (NOT FULLY DESCRIBED IN THIS DRAFT. NOTES ARE INCLUDED ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET DOCUMENT. WILL BE FURTHER DESCRIBED IN NEXT VERSION.) BI 401 ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET (10% of Total CRA Budget) 75% of Director's Salary + Part -time Administrative Assistant In FY 99 -00, the CRA paid to reduce the cost of the Executive Director's salary and benefits. This year, the Executive Director position would be provided at no cost, and the CRA would pay the entire cost of the Director position. Given the project management orientation of the CRA Director, it is anticipated that 25% or more of the Director's salary would be charged to project dev. and management line items. BI #02 REPAYMENT TO CITY FOR FUNDS ADVANCED Same payment as last year. However, this year the CRA is not requesting monetary assistance; therefore, the net payment to the City has increased from 32,479 to 57,479. Should funds become available by the end of the FY, the CRA would contribute up to an additional $42,521 so that up to a total of $100,000 could be repaid to the City in FY 00 -01. BI 403 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & JOB CREATION *Working Capital Florida was sufficiently funded in the revised FY 99 -00 Budget for operation in FY 00 -01 and will not require additional funding until FY 01 -02. Funding in FY 01 -02 could be provided by grants, the CPA or a combination thereof. BI #04 COMMERCIAL BUILDING REHABILITATION Eligible activities include: front and rear facade improvement, vacant building rehab, paint -up /fix -up, signage and parking improvements. In the FY 99 -00 Budget, this was the line item which provided for the rehab. of the Wounded Healers' Building for the Helen Bentley Center. BI #05 RESIDENTIAL REINVESTMENT, LAND ACQUISITIONAND REHABILITATION *Per the Interlocal Agreement, the CRA must construct Multifamily Housing Units. In FY 99 -00, the CRA invested $200, 000 in the construction of new single family homes. This investment allows the CRA to aggressively address multifamily unit rehab and expansion in FY 00 -01, even with a reduced budget. Provides funding to assist homeowners move into the homes constructed as a result of the single infill program. 8of10 Awards for the Code Violation program are capped at $2504500 1award; therefore, this appropriation would allow the disbursement of at least 10 awards. BI 906 STREET BEA UTIFICATION & APPEARANCE IMPROVEMENT Eligible activities include: landscaping and streetscape improvements, which can include landscape materials, lighting, benches and trash receptacles. In FY 00 -01, a major initiative is to redesign Church Street so that in FY 01 -02 the CRA can begin constructing the "Main Street" that our community deserves. This Budget Item, in conjunction with BI 49, Infrastructure, will allow the CRA to make this initiative a reality. BI 407 PARK IMPROVEMENTS The CRA will provide technical assistance and in -kind services for any appropriate grant opportunities. BI 408 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS & ALTERNATIVES In FY 99 -00, the trolley severely under performed. A shuttle is a more viable and less expensive opportunity to provide for the CRA's transportation needs. BI 409 INFRASTRUCTURE Eligible activities include: water, sewer and stormwater utilities; roadways; and sidewalks. In FY 00 -01, a major initiative is to redesign Church Street so that in FY 01 -02 the CRA can begin constructing the "Main Street" that our community deserves. This Budget Item, in conjunction with BI 96, Street Beautification and Appearance Improvement, will allow the CRA to make this initiative a reality. BI 410 CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER Paid to City to provide a Code Enforcement Officer for the CRA Area only. BI #11 NEIGHBORHOOD POLICE OFFICERS Paid to City for the provision of two "walking beat" officers who are dedicated to patrolling the CRA area only -- doubles the manpower at the same cost and provides a much more accessible service to the community, as compared to the trolley officer. BI 412 MARKETING /ADVERTISEMENT & PROMOTIONS Eligible activities include marketing plans, advertisements and special events. 9of10 BI #13 GENERAL COUNSEL In FY 99 -00, actual expenses changed to BI 413 totaled approximately half of what was appropriated. However, the proposed appropriation will be essential to funding the removal ofpublic nuisances in the CRA area BI #14 REDEVELOPMENT EXPERT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES The intended "step- down" in general consulting services has occurred, and the CRA is now utilizing more project- oriented technical expertise, which is charged to the Project Development & Management line of the appropriate Budget Item. BI #1 S CONTINGENCY (5% of the total CRA Budget) Eligible activities include: engineering services, project management, surveys, appraisals, environmental surveys, special legal, small /minority business advisor and hard costs as associated with program demands and opportunities. BI 916 LOBBYING /GRANTS SERVICES The recent success of the City of South Miami in receiving state appropriations in Tallahassee has been noted. "Redevelopment" and "infill" are buzzwords in today's political, arenas. The CPA must capitalize on all revenue opportunities, especially state appropriations and federal, state and local grants, in order to maximize the leveraging of TIF funds.. CONCLUSION In its first fully funded year, the South Miami CRA persevered through an administrative reorganization which could have permanently scarred it. Instead, like the community it strives to serve, the CRA persisted and successfully navigated the challenges, identifying a bounty of opportunities and constructing the foundation for future success. The momentum is building, and it is palpable. I am honored to work with you, the CRA Board, the citizens of South Miami and the outstanding CRA team at this very exciting time, in this very exciting place. Respectfully yours, Draft Gregory J.

Plummer Mary Scott Russell Randy G. Wiscombe Dear Honorable Board Members: CRA Advisory Board Lee Perry, Chair Charles J. Foschini Marshall Hannah Rita Llado William D. Tucker, Sr. I am pleased to submit the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency's Proposed Fiscal Year 2001 -2002 Budget for your review and consideration. South Miami FY 2001 -2002 Ail. i. ia THE CRA IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OFANALL AMERICA CITY. Due to your hard work and the efforts of citizens, business, property zoos owners and staff, the City of South Miami was recognized by the National Civic League as an All- America City. This national award, which has existed since 1949, is the highest honor a City. can receive, and it was bestowed upon the City for its ability to address the challenges of revitalization, redevelopment, and juvenile crime prevention through a community- driven. process. This award serves as testament to the fact that not only is the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency achieving real change, it is a national model of excellence. Further evidencing the SMCRA's status as an example was the selection of the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area as a regional case study of revitalization and housing production by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development at the recent South Miami -Dade Housing Summit. Being a critical component of a successful All - America City Application and a regional case - study highlighted a year which witnessed the rapid growth of the programs and projects initiated 1 of 16 by the Agency in its first fully funded year. Major accomplishments achieved in Fiscal Year 2000 -2001 include: General a. Designation as an All - America City! a Selection as a "case study" for revitalization and affordable housing production by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development at the South Miami -Dade Housing Summit.

Marketing & Public Relations • B. Mumford & Company was added to the team_ and has created and initiated implementation of a marketing plan for the Agency, including the creation of a logo, tag line, general brochure, bi- monthly newsletter, special events and identification of target audiences. As designed, the Agency's efforts and successes have provided the impetus for substantial private investment in the redevelopment area. The past. fiscal year witnessed several significant projects breaking ground or receiving preliminary approval, as further described below. Rovel Infill Office Building • This four -story infill office building located at the intersection of SW 701h Street and SW 6151 Avenue is currently under construction. Approximately V4 of its 12,000 square feet of gross leasable area is under contract, and the building should be completed in the first quarter of 2002. It represents a capital investment of approximately $1.5 million and will bring approximately 58 jobs to the City of South Miami. 6of16 Gold's Gym • Much more than your average work -out facility, the Gold's Gym proposed for South Miami is a signature three -story building. Having received preliminary ERPB approval and having already entered the building permit process, groundbreaking should x ' occur prior to the holiday season. This AWl nearly $2.5 million capital investment will This stunning Gold's Gym has caught the attention of Gold's Gym owners transform the long nation -wide. vacant property located at the intersection of Sunset and SW 61St Court into a much - needed oasis of life on the west side of US 1 after dark. The owner has expressed his willingness to utilize SMCRA incentive programs in order to utilize local labor in filling the facility's 40+ job openings. Hometown Station • In FY 00 -01 ' Miami -Dade County awarded an RFP for redevelopment at the South Miami MetroRail Station to Hometown Station Ltd. Hometown Station Ltd. won the RFP by proposing an exciting mixed -use concept. That concept has evolved and today includes approximately 253,600 square feet of office space, 12,000 square feet of retail and 35 live work units. The development would transform the current parking structure into an aesthetically pleasing and inviting urban village, represent a capital investment of well over $25 million and create more than 900 jobs. • The Hometown Ltd. is preparing to come before the City of South Miami prior to the New Year. 7of16 Shoal Creek • In FY 00 -01 something truly spectacular occurred, a firm was able to assemble a vacant city block within the redevelopment area, which had primarily lain dormant for over 40 years. What made this spectacular is the fact that the firm had to negotiate with more than ten parties and paid over $3 million for a property within a redevelopment area. The real estate firm that assembled the parcel has been joined by other partners to propose University Place, a six -story 300 -unit market =rate multifamily development. • The importance of this "pioneering" redevelopment proposal cannot be overstated. The development itself would provide a capital investment of over $30 million, and its ground floor commercial space would create approximately 15 -35 jobs. The development would generate $120,000 to $200,000 in tax increment financing (TIF) revenues. Its indirect impact, however, may be much more substantial. With 300 units, the development will bring approximately 500 new residents to South Miami, very nearly a 5% increase in the City's total population. Some of these people will be the volunteers and role models that further the efforts of the SMCRA; but, more importantly, all of these people will be consumers. This "critical mass" of consumers will fuel further redevelopment and boost sales in the surrounding commercial areas. Most importantly, the success of this project would allow it to serve as a very bright beacon, attracting and initiating a very profound and dynamic redevelopment of the mixed -use properties to the south, west, east, and northeast. Complete with street trees, improved sidewalks, arcades and mixed -use, University Place is a pioneering effort to make the Transit - Oriented Development District, Hometown Plan, Area 2, and redevelopment come alive. 8of16 THE FINANCIAL PROFILE OF THE SOUTH MIAMI CRA In Fiscal Year 2000 -2001, the SMCRA and City of South Miami watched from the sidelines as the largest single taxpayer in the City and redevelopment area, the Bakery Associates, Ltd., completed its appeal of the property tax assessments levied against the Shops at Sunset Place from 1997 through 2000. , As the below table illustrates, the appeal was very successful for the property owner. Year Preliminary Assessment Settlement 1997 $11,00,000 $10,856,500 1998 $11,467,981 $11,168,818 1999 $136,090,425 $105,000,000 2000 $120,000,000 $107,000,000 The reduction of the Shops' assessed value in 1999 caused a corresponding reduction in SMCRA TIF revenues of approximately $180,000 or 20% of the total budget. Similarly, in FY 2000, the reduction of assessed value resulted in a $78,000 decrease in SMCRA TIF revenues. Fortunately for the Agency, SMCRA and City staff were watching the events unfold and safeguarded the SMCRA from overexposing itself. Although the Agency did not receive all of its forecasted revenues, actual revenues allowed it to complete its most successful year to date. After accounting for the adjustments granted to the Shops at Sunset Place, it is clear that property values within the Redevelopment Area are moving in the right direction- --up. The below chart demonstrates the total assessed value of all properties within the Redevelopment Area, both before and after the adjustments to the Shops at Sunset Place, since the Agency's inception. Total Assessed Value of the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area since Inception 250,000,000 200,000,000 M 0 150,000,000 c 100,000,000 > 50,000,000 7 1998 1999 2000 2001 Year •. Preliminary Assessment ® Final Assessment Based on the Preliminary Assessment, the total assessed value of the Redevelopment Area has increased by over 8.5% from 2000 to 2001. This increase in property values will result in a corresponding increase in TIF revenues. In fact, after the adjustments to the Shops are considered, the increase in TIF revenue has been quite profound with an increase of 13.5% forecasted for FY 01 -02. 900,000 800,000 { 700,000 600,000 500,000 C 400,000 7 300,000 200,000 100,000 0 TIF Revenue Since Inception 1998 1999 2000 2001 Year i i 0 Based upon Preliminary i Assessment ® Based upon Final Assessment Although the primary financial indicator, property value, is moving in a favorable direction, the unfortunate reality is that the adjustment to the Shops lowered our starting place. Consequently, the Agency finds itself at a lower point in the staircase, and the FY 2001 =2002 revenue forecast is the smallest to date. The SMCRA will have to overcome this financial challenge in order to continue the momentum which has been building over the past two years, and the following budget goals and highlights represent staff's recommendations on how to successfully meet this challenge. FY 2001 -2002 BUDGET GOALS The primary goals and priorities of the third fully funded budget of the SMCRA are as follows: Goal 1: Focus on critical existing initiatives. The SMCRA has started initiatives which have already begun the process of profoundly improving the Redevelopment Area. These initiatives include the reconstruction of Church Street, the redevelopment of South Miami Gardens, the acquisition of additional funds through the South Miami Community 10 of 16 Redevelopment Agency Foundation, Inc., the stewardship of multimillion dollar 'private developments, single family infill, homeowner assistance, residential rehabilitation, multifamily housing expansion, commercial rehabilitation, community- oriented policing, intensive code enforcement, marketing, transportation enhancements, job training and economic development. These initiatives, when successfully completed, will have improved the Redevelopment Area beyond all expectations. It is critical that these existing initiatives be carried out successfully;, and given the current financial conditions, it is imperative that the Agency limit the temptation to do more. Goal 2: Eliminate under- performing projects and programs and reprogram corresponding funding. - In FY 00 -01, the Agency funded two programs which did not perform to expectations, the Code Violation Assistance Program and the Working Capital Florida Program. Given the limited financial resources of the Agency, funding for these programs should be reprogrammed. Goal 3:. implement a very limited number of essential new initiatives. Although the Agency's overriding goal should be to focus on existing initiatives, there are two new initiatives which should be implemented. James T. Bowman Sr. Scholarship Program In FY 00 -01, the Agency and City lost a longstanding and irreplaceable public servant, James T. Bowman, Sr. Although Mr. Bowman succumbed to age, his spirit, efforts and aid to his community will live on. The SMCRA Redevelopment Plan specifically authorizes the Agency to implement an SMCRA Scholarship Work/Study Program. The proposed Budget includes an appropriation to 'implement this program in memory of Mr. Bowman. SMCRA Social Worker Economic Development and Job Creation initiatives are essential to the Agency's ability to revitalize the Redevelopment Area. In FY 00 -01, the Agency primarily channeled its economic. development and job creation efforts through Working Capital Florida. Unfortunately, the Working Capital Florida Program was not able to meet its targets for business training and micro- loans. One of the reasons Working Capital Florida did not reach its targets may be partly attributable to the fact that many residents of the Redevelopment Area do not have the prerequisite skills and, or, enthusiasm to access such a program. This seems to be supported by the community's desire for basic skills training, such as resume writing, etiquette, typing and interviewing. I1 of 16 Therefore, this budget proposes that the Agency goes `'back to basics" in economic development and job creation by helping to provide the foundation of skills and information which will facilitate economic development and job creation in the Redevelopment Area. The FY 01 -02 Budget proposes to accomplish this through the utilization of a SMCRA Social Worker. With a limited dollar amount, the Agency will be able to secure 20 hours a week from the City of South Miami's existing social worker, allowing skills evaluation and training, the provision of counseling and access to employment and social services. Goal 4: Amend the Interlocal Agreement. There are three elements in the Interlocal Agreement with Miami -Dade County which impede the Agency's ability to function: 1) the 10% administrative cap, 2) the western boundary of the Redevelopment Area ending at the centerline of SW 62nd Avenue, and 3) the five year probationary period. In order to streamline the process with the County, these three elements should be amended together this fiscal year. The 10% Administrative Cap The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency, unlike any other community redevelopment agency in Miami -Dade County, is limited to spending 10% of its total TIF budget on administrative expenses. Administrative expenses traditionally include everything relating to the administrative function of the Agency, from salaries to paperclips, computers to telephones. Based on a $735,000 budget, the Agency is limited to spending $73,500 on administrative expenses. Putting this into context, a strict interpretation of this stipulation would require the Agency to "lay -off' the Director in FY 01 -02 because funding is insufficient to pay wages and benefits. This example clearly evidences that this administrative cap, although well- intentioned, is severely restricting the Agency's ability to carry out its mission and is unworkable. The Western BoundarM'of the Redevelopment Area The existing Interlocal Agreement defines the western boundary of the Redevelopment Area as the centerline of SW 62nd Avenue even though many of the properties directly to the west of and adjacent to SW 62nd Avenue are in great need of redevelopment and part of the traditional neighborhood which was included in the Redevelopment Area. In FY 00 -01 the Agency initiated the process to update - its "Finding of Necessity" in order to determine if these properties "needed" redevelopment as specified in Florida Statutes. Preliminary results demonstrate that there is 12 of 16 formal evidence that these properties should be included within the Redevelopment Area. Five -Year Probationary Period Within the Interlocal Agreement, the County created a five -year probationary period so that the Agency could prove that it was capable of creating positive change. In basic terms, this provision tells anyone reading the Interlocal Agreement that it is possible that the Agency will not exist five years after its birth. This precludes the Agency from borrowing money, leveraging funds, executing leases and entering into many other types of legal agreements, which, in turn, precludes the Agency from fully realizing its potential. As one of the primary reasons the City of South Miami was recognized as an All- America City and with all of the work completed to date, there should be little doubt that the SMCRA is creating positive change, that it is effective, and that it should exist until its mission is complete. Goal S: Organize the SMCRA administration to effectively implement the Agency's many programs and projects. The success of the Agency in the coming year will be dependent upon its ability to successfully manage the critical initiatives in. Goal 1. It is not realistic for this to occur with only an Agency Director. It is critical that until the administrative cap is changed to allow appropriate -staffing, that the 16 hour /week Community Outreach Position be converted to a full -time position. How this can be achieved within the existing administrative cap is discussed under budget highlights. Goal 6: Utilize alternative funding sources to fund critical administrative functions of the SMCRA'. The SMCRA receives non -TIF revenues from the Mobley Property leases and interest earnings. Since these revenues are non -TIF they are not subject to the 10% cap and must be utilized to pay for essential administrative expenses, including general counsel services, phone bill, insurance and water bill. Goal 7: Continue to reach out to the community and to employ; a community - driven approach. The City of South Miami and SMCRA are built upon community support and participation. Continued success will be contingent upon continuing this important tradition. Goal g: Continue cooperation and team approach with the City of South Miami The official name of the SMCRA is the City of South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency, and the SMCRA is a "dependent" special district. It is important to realize that the City and SMCRA are working to achieve the 13 of 16 same thing. A sense of team between the City and SMCRA has developed and it must continue if "we" are to be successful. BUDGET ITEM HIGHLIGHTS. Residential Reinvestment and Rehab The proposed Budget would provide for the continuation of the single family infill, homeowner assistance, residential rehabilitation, multifamily unit rehabilitation, Operation Facelift and Landscaping the Redevelopment Area programs. Additionally, it would provide funding for residential rehabilitation grants to multifamily homeowners, not just project owners, and the technical expertise to successfully redevelop South Miami Gardens. Overall, it is recommended that funding to this important line item be increased by $10,700 or about six percent. Repayment to City for Funds Advanced The proposed Budget shows the need to increase repayments to the City, as a result of contractual. obligations for the purchase of the Mobley Building and TranShuttle. It also reflects the desire to accelerate the repayment schedule for the funds which were advanced for the. creation of the Agency. Economic Development and Job Creation As noted in Budget Goal 4, economic development and job creation initiatives are essential to the Agency's ability to revitalize the Redevelopment Area. -In FY 00 -01, the Agency primarily channeled its economic development and job creation efforts through Working Capital Florida. Unfortunately, the Working Capital Florida Program was not able to meet its targets for business training and micro -loans. One of the reasons Working Capital Florida did not reach its targets may be partly attributable to the fact that many residents of the Redevelopment Area do not have the prerequisite skills and, or, enthusiasm to access such a program. This seems to be supported by the community's desire for basic skills training, such as resume writing, etiquette, typing and interviewing. Therefore, this budget proposes that the Agency goes "back to basics" in economic development and job creation by helping to provide the foundation of skills and information which will facilitate economic development and job creation in the Redevelopment Area. The FY 01 -02 Budget proposes to accomplish this through the utilization of a SMCRA Social Worker: With a limited dollar amount, the Agency will be able to secure 20 hours a week from the' City of South Miami's existing social worker, allowing skills evaluation and training, the provision of counseling'and access to employment and social services. Commercial Building Rehab This year's proposed Budget would provide a lesser level of appropriations for this activity in order to more closely resemble actual spending levels. The proposed funding level would be 14 of 16 sufficient to accommodate projects similar in scope to those approved -in FY 00 -01 and could provide for a partial renovation of the Mobley Building. Infrastructure The proposed Budget would increase funding to this critical line item, reflecting the work that is planned for Church Street and the intersecting rights -of -way and utility lines within. the Redevelopment Area. James T. Bowman, Sr. Scholarship The proposed Budget would provide funding for the implementation of the SMCRA Scholarship Work/Study Program, authorized by the Redevelopment Plan, in memory of the late James T. Bowman, Sr: _ Administrative Expenses By far the most severely impacted line item in this year's proposed Budget is Administrative Expenses. As was previously mentioned, a strict interpretation of the 10% administrative cap would require you to "layoff' your existing staff. Although not to such a severe extent, similar difficulties faced the Agency last year. These difficulties were overcome by charging 25% of the Director's time to specific projects instead of to general administration. In order to overcome the. 10% administrative cap this year, it is recommended that 50% of the Director's time be charged to specific line items. This is not inappropriate, as analysis shows that less than 25% of the Director's time is actually spent upon general administration. Even with charging 50% of the Director's time to project line items, there is not adequate funding to function at an acceptable level. Therefore, the proposed Budget would provide funding for these necessary expenses by utilizing the revenues from the Mobley Property and interest earnings. Additionally, revenues from the Mobley Property would provide 25% of the salary for a Programs Coordinator Position. The rest of the position's salary would be billed to the projects that the position serves to implement, and the position's fringe benefits are included within the Budget's administrative line item. The proposed Budget would allow the administration to continue functioning and even increase the efficiency and effectiveness of project implementation; however, without an adjustment to the 10% cap, the Agency will continue to be hindered and will fail to meet its peak operating capacity. 15 of 16 CONCL USION In its second fully funded year, the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency helped the City achieve the prestigious All- America City Award. It served as a case -study for revitalization. It initiated projects that, when successfully completed, will profoundly improve the neighborhood beyond anyone's expectations. Putting this into perspective, a nearly universal American Dream is purchasing a home. Most of us go decades growing, learning and saving before we are ready to make a down payment and start a 30 year process to make our dreams come true. Imagine putting 20 % down at age two and opting for the 15 -year note. That is what this Agency is doing. Under your leadership, the guidance of the Executive Director, and with purposeful focus on the completion of existing initiatives, much more is in store for the Agency in year three. Challenges await and will be-overcome by a team that does not stop until the job is complete. It is a continuing honor and pleasure to work with you, the citizens of South Miami and an outstanding professional team, as we continue to make our neighborhood a better place to live, work and play. Respectfully yours, , � 7 Gregory J. Oravec Director 16 of 16 -- I lei 2001 SMCR-AL lo'clang our Nbi `ti3oezood a Great tVooa to Ups, Work and PW 2002 -2003 Proposed Budget SMCRA Board Horace G. Feliu, Chair Mary Scott Russell, Vice Chair David D. Bethel Randy G. Wiscombe Dan McCrea Levy Kelly SMCRA Advisory Board Lee Perry, Chair Rita Llado William D. Tucker, Sr. Robert J. Luss Charles D. Scurr, Executive Director Subrata Basu, AIA, AICP, Director Eve Boutsis, General Counsel 11110 2001 Dear Honorable Board Members: The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency ( SMCRA) is pleased to submit the Proposed Budget for the Fiscal Year 2002 -2003 for your review and consideration. The SMCRA has maintained an impressive record of accomplishments. inspite of the challenges it faced during the fiscal year 2001 -2002. The challenges ranged from decreasing revenues to lack of adequate personnel to absence of a permanent Director for a major part of the year. The following is a list of major accomplishments Church Street Project (SW 59th Place) A grant for $100,000 was secured from the Office of Community and Economic Development (OCED). These funds combined with additional TIF allocation will cover the engineering and design expenses of the project. The design firm of Williams, Stoner and Hatfield has been retained for the project. SMCRA is now seeking additional funds for the construction of the proposed improvements. Traffic Calming Project (SW 64th Street and SW 59th Place) This long awaited traffic calming project has been recently completed. The scope of the project includes installation of new median landscaping, new concrete curbs and sidewalks, and the construction of two watermain extensions along SW 59th Place. The total project cost is well over $200,000 and was funded through OCED. South Miami Gardens The. SMCRA and the City of South Miami are jointly committed to increasing the quality and the quantity of affordable housing. Last year, the SMCRA held a community workshop to discuss the potential sites for multifamily dwellings. One of the major focuses of the workshop was the conversion of the public housing units to private ownership. The SMCRA held a preliminary meeting with Miami Dade Housing Agency (MDHA) officials. The SMCRA has a multifamily housing consultant on board and initial meetings have been very productive and encouraging. A door to door survey was conducted with each of the 43 existing households to determine the level of support by the existing households and explain the conversion process and the relocation plans. Based on the survey results, the SMCRA Board formally passed a Resolution supporting the redevelopment efforts, and petitioning the county to initiate the redevelopment process for South Miami Gardens. The process is currently in the preliminary stages. Page 1 of 5 Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity continues to be a strong force in the community. After completing a total of twenty -seven new homes in the redevelopment area, Habitat for Humanity has entered into an agreement with the SMCRA to build five new homes in the property formerly known as the Marshall Williamson property, located between 64th Avenue and 61" Court, along SW 66th Street. Following recommendations from the community at large, the CRA has extended , financial support to the Habitat for Humanity, in the tune of up to $20,000 for each of the five homes. The additional funding will embellish the exterior designs of these new homes in keeping with the character and the architectural expression of South Miami neighborhoods. These additional design features include such things as additional landscaping, decorative door and window treatments, wooden fences, and reflective roofs Greater Miami Neighborhoods Furthering its goals to promote infill affordable housing, the SMCRA has partnered with Greater Miami Neighborhoods for the redevelopment of several vacant properties within the community redevelopment area. Additional seven new single - family homes will be offered to needy families V of this community through this partnership. Two vacant lots were approved in July for redevelopment and are scheduled to be completed within eighteen months. Rehabilitation Projects Single- Family and Multi - Family Rehabilitation Programs The Residential Rehabilitation program is designed to increase the quality of the existing housing stock in the redevelopment area. The program, which includes both the Single and Multi families prioritizes projects which address health, safety, and welfare issues. To date, the program has approved an excess of $50,000 to successful applicants. Approved project activities Y ranged from replacing driveways to kitchen repairs. The program has provided the necessary funding assistance to property owners in the CRA to improve their investment and contributing to continuing evolution of our neighborhoods into viable communities.. Commercial Rehabilitation Program The Commercial Rehabilitation Grant program was created by the SMCRA Board to provide direct financial assistance to applicants seeking to significantly rehabilitate their business within the SMCRA district. The Program provides funding assistance in the form of forgivable grants for a maximum of $ 25,000 to business entities located within the CRA area. Grant recipients are required to provide matching funds equal to the amount of the grant award. During the past years, two Commercial Rehabilitation grants were awarded to local businesses for a total of $45,000. These funds were utilized to improve the condition of the properties where the businesses are located. Page 2 of 5 Partnership with Miami Dade Community Action Agency A new parternship of SMCRA and CAA has created opportunities for the residents of the area to avail programs that would otherwise not be available to the community. CAA is currently offering free adult computer classes to the residents of the area. The classes are being held in the Hope Butler Building. With the proposed relocation of CAA in the area, this partnership will grow stronger.. This will enable the CAA to offer a number of programs that will supplement our effort. Partnership with OCED In furtherance to our continued successful working relationship with OCED, the County has agreed to transfer the vacant lots controlled by the County over to SMCRA for development. Other notable accomplishments are: • Partnered with the City of South Miami to complete a $4 million state of the art multipurpose center featuring fitness facilities, indoor basketball courts, art & crafts room, activity room and computer lab. • Completed the Redevelopment Area -wide Infrastructure Master Plan • Conducted a local job fair and established partnerships with local businesses and job placement agencies to refer unemployed residents • Facilitated the employment of 27 local residents, 9 of which are working on local projects and 18 are employed throughout the county • Implemented the "Dress for Success" clothing drive in an effort to collect business attire for residents entering the job market • Organized and supervised the Students Work Initiative (WIN) Program sponsored by the County, which provides holiday and summer employment to area youths • Organized the Back to School Giveaway program which provides school supplies to children of the redevelopment area • Continued the successful operation of a Police Workstation in the South Miami Gardens Public Housing Complex • Restored the Marshall Williamson Tennis Courts • Funded three positions to include the police officer, code enforcement officer, and social worker for the redevelopment area • Successfully lobbied the county to demolish the unsafe, derelicts structures located at 6350 SW 60' Avenue • Participated in the Black Democratic Caucus, "People to People Bus Tour' The projection for the Tax Increment Financing revenue continues to drop (see attached Revenue projection) primarily due to a relatively flat assessment of commercial properties, lack of commercial developments and yet another downward adjustment of the Shops at Sunset assessment. The SMCRA with the City's help has aggressively sought grants to supplement TIF revenues. The proposed budget (see attached Proposed 2002 -2003 Budget) presented for your Page 3 of 5 consideration builds on its successes and initiates new initiatives to move the agency forward. The primary goals and priorities of the third fully funded budget of the SMCRA are as follows: Goal 1: Continue to earn community's trust and bring CRA to the community: The SMCRA has taken major steps to gain the confidence and the trust of the community that historically received promises and remained neglected. One of the initiatives that is planned for the coming year is to relocate the SMCRA offices within the SMCRA district boundaries. The SMCRA offices will be a walk -in facility where the members of the community feel welcome to come in and participate in the future of their community. This will engage the community in a more meaningful and in an ongoing basis. The budget reflects retrofitting one of the bays at the Mobley Building for SMCRA offices. This relocation will build a stronger working alliance with the Miami Dade Community Action Agency when their proposed move to the Mobley building becomes a reality. Goal 2: Build on the successes: The SMCRA started numerous initiatives that have already begun the process of improving the Redevelopment Area. These initiatives include the reconstruction of Church Street, the redevelopment of South Miami Gardens, the stewardship of multimillion dollar private developments, single family infill, homeowner assistance, residential rehabilitation, multifamily housing expansion, commercial rehabilitation, community - oriented policing, intensive code enforcement, marketing, transportation enhancements, and job training. The proposed budget makes continued commitment to fund Residential and Commercial Rehabilitation programs and street beautification efforts. Additionally, grant funds will be used to proceed with Church Street construction documents, acquire land for infill housing and provide home owners assistance program. Goal 3: Strengthen the tax base of the through Economic Development! Introduce new initiatives: In order to maintain a healthy and stable revenue source, it is vitally important to lessen our dependence on the performance of the Shops at Sunset. The overriding purpose of the redevelopment legislation is to help an economically depressed area to create a healthy economic base. A healthy economic base is the only guaranteed way to increase the standard of living and the quality of life in the poorer neighborhoods. The SMCRA has effectively achieved the objective of stabilizing the residential area_ It is now important to focus our attention to improving and developing a healthy commercial base. The Commerce and Progress Lane area is an unexplored resource that provides for an opportunity for such initiatives. The budget reflects a commitment to help Page 4 of 5 small businesses, promote commercial rehabilitation programs and starting a visioning process to develop a community based vision primarily for the industrial area. Goal 4: Putting it all together/Master Plan 2003 -2010: A lot of exciting initiatives and projects are underway within the SMCRA area. While the contributions of these projects and initiatives are significant, their collective impact is greater. A Master Plan for the area will incorporate the existing initiatives and integrate with the fixture vision of the area. It will help tie all the pieces together, identify their inter - relationship and develop a set of strategies to for future actions. A Master Plan will provide a "Road Map" for the future years and will help bring about a focus to our effort that everyone understands. This Master Plan will also form the basis for the discussions with the County on extending the CRA beyond the first 5 years. Under your leadership, the SMCRA's upcoming fourth year of existence is expected to be its most productive, with a number of initiatives coming to fruition and with additional new initiatives to explore new frontiers. The SMCRA team continues to make our neighborhood a better place to live, work and play.

SOUTH MMI CRA AT A MAJOR CROSSROAD Fiscal year 2004 -2005 finds the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency ( SMCRA) at a major crossroad. During the five years of its existence, SMCRA has been strapped with specific restrictions that have inhibited its ability to grow into the projected level of development. Through a dedicated commitment to the elimination of slum and blight within our community, SMCRA continues to make the strategic actions that will ultimately complete this mission. Major projects are currently poised to break ground on both the southern and eastern boundaries in our district. We can also add the redevelopment of Church Street, and the completion of the $35,000,000 Valencia Apartments. With the development of the Sixty- Second Avenue Project on our western fringe, and the ultimate development of the Madison Square Project, development in South Miami will be a reflection of balanced and complete growth. Most of these projects have likely been initiated with the knowledge that through the establishment of SMCRA, the City of South Miami has made a serious commitment to upgrade the quality of life in its most underdeveloped areas. As this is my first budget process as SMCRA Director, the general thrust will be for a maximum direction of financial resources into the areas of greatest need. From an economic standpoint, the . 1 of 16 establishment of a `Town Center' concept should be at the top of the-priority list. Therefore, a sizeable percentage of the fiscal year 2004 -2005 budget should be dedicated to bringing this vision into a reality. Secondly, we must ensure that there is an adequate amount of affordable housing available for all residents who qualify. Through the establishment of `Madison Square Saturdays', we have interacted with a number of neighborhood residents who are desirous of opening their own local business. It is incumbent upon SMCRA to become a major facilitator in this process. Beginning in fiscal year 2004 -2005, it is recommended that SMCRA begin an aggressive land acquisition process that will allow this Agency to gain a higher degree of site control. Upon achieving this objective, we will be well positioned to increase the amount of affordable housing units that are available to our residents. Finally, I would like to express a deep gratitude of appreciation to all of the other personnel within the varied City departments. SMCRA would not be able to function without their consistent show of support and cooperation.

The past fiscal year witnessed the opening of the Valencia Apartments, and the imminent groundbreaking of three additional major projects within key areas of our district. • Valencia Apartments Fiscal year 2003 -2004 witnessed the opening of a truly spectacular development on a major thoroughfare within our district. The Valencia Apartments is destined to become a major destination for all of South Florida. Its indirect impact will be very substantial to the entire city of South Miami. With 300 Units, the development will bring approximately 500 new residents to South Miami, very nearly a 5% increase in the City's total population. Most importantly, the success of this project would allow it to serve as a very bright beacon, attracting and initiating a very profound and dynamic redevelopment of the mixed -use properties to the south, west, east, and north. 4of16 I 250000000 200000000 150000000 100000000 50000000 0 • Hometown Station The redevelopment at the South Miami MetroRail Station has been proposed by Hometown Station Ltd.

The SMCRA continues to focus on initiatives which are designed to profoundly improve the Redevelopment Area. A crucial initiative in this process includes the reconstruction of Church Street. Church Street is- generally considered to be the major - thoroughfare within the SMCRA district. The first phase of the Church Street Restoration Project was completed early in the year. Improvement included infrastructure upgrade, sidewalk enhancement, decorative street furniture and streetlights. The South Miami Gardens residents were re- surveyed to determine their current level of interest in the development of their area. This project is in need of a proper realignment, with a special emphasis of dispensing clear and consistent information to all involved parties. These initiatives, when successfully completed, are crucial to the Redevelopment in our area: It is critically important that these two initiatives be given priority within the overall scheme of completing SMCRA projects. Goal Z: Development of Madison Square. Development of Madison Square Town Center is essential to promoting a strong economic base within the hub of our SMCRA district. The establishment of Madison Square Saturdays has been a promising `stepping stone' leading into the realization of this project. Through the dedicated commitment of vendors in this project, this site is now prime for a major redevelopment effort. Goal 3: Development of Pre - Apprenticeship program to prepare neighborhood youth for employment in the construction industry. Through the implementation of the Wounded Healers Program, local licensed contractors will supervise, employ, and train local residents in the 6of16 rehabilitation of SMCRA district single family homes. The process will generate dual benefits by affording career opportunities to our youth, in addition to providing an upgrade for our single family residences. The Wounded Healers program under the guidance of St. John's A.M.E. Church, has proven to be very successful in previous years of S.M.C.R.A. existence. Goal 4: Continue to reach out and involve all sectors of the South Miami community in SMCRA activities. Goal 5: Goal 6: Goal 7: The City of South Miami and SMCRA are built upon community support and participation. Through effective marketing strategies, we will be able to make our residents and business owners more aware of the myriad of programs and opportunities that are available to them. Continue cooperation and team approach with the City of South Miami. The official name of the SMCRA is the City of South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency, and the SMCRA is a "dependent" special district. It is imporant to realize that the City and SMCRA are working to achieve mutually benefitting goals. Through a proactive approach, the City Manager and SMCRA are already making positive strides in the fulfillment of this particular goal. Establishment of a business incubator. By establishing an effective business incubator, SMCRA will be able to provide the necessary technical assistance that would allow local vendors the opportunity to take their businesses to a higher level. The Mobley Building is being identified as a prime location for this process. The vendors from Madison Square Saturdays will be given first priority in the selection of businesses that will occupy this incubator. Amend the Interlocal Agreement. With the hiring of the Iler Planning Group, SMCRA will be well positioned to extend the life of Agency to an additional ten years. In addition, the Iler Group will be addressing all relative issues as they relate to the interlocal agreement between SMCRA and Miami Dade County Government. 7of16 Goal 8: Intensifying efforts toward the Redevelopment of South Miami Gardens. After being re- surveyed, indications were favorable that residents of South Miami Gardens are indeed desirous of redeveloping their area. With an intensified effort of dispensing timely and accurate information, we are confident that this site will be properly redeveloped to the complete satisfaction of current tenants. A concerted effort will be made to rejuvenate this important project for our area. BUDGET ITEM HIGHLIGHTS Residential Reinvestment and Rehabilitation The proposed Budget would provide for the continuation of the single family infill, homeowner assistance, residential rehabilitation, and multifamily, unit rehabilitation. The quality of housing possibilities is being favorably enhanced through these SMCRA initiated programs. Additionally, it would provide funding for residential rehabilitation grants to multifamily homeowners, not just project owners, and the technical expertise to successfully redevelop South Miami Gardens. Overall, it is recommended that funding to this important line item be increased. Economic Development and Job Creation As noted previously, economic development and job creation initiatives are essential to the Agency's ability to revitalize the Redevelopment Area. In FY 04 -05, the Agency will primarily channel its economic development and job creation efforts through the Wounded Healers Program. The Wounded Healers program has proven to be highly successful in past years of SMCRA' S existence. Infrastructure The proposed Budget allocates funding to this critical line item, reflecting the work that is planned for Church Street, and the intersecting rights -of -way and utility lines within the Redevelopment Area. 8of16 Final Payment. for The Mobley Building The 2004 -2005 budget reflects a final payment of $123,00.00 made for the purchase of the Mobley Building. This purchase represents a promising and major addition to SMCRA'S portfolio. In addition, the elimination of this debt will portend a significant increase in funding for SMCRA programs for the fiscal year 2005 -2006. CONCLUSION Fiscal Year 2004 -2005 will indeed be a crossroad year for the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency ( SMCRA). With re- certification looming on June 1, 2005, SMCRA is very confident that its request for an additional ten years of operations will be granted by Miami - Dade County government. As most CRA' S only begin to show remarkable improvements after six to seven years of operations, we believe that through a series of minor accomplishments, our SMCRA has proven to be resilient, and most importantly, very capable of generating substantive results. With the re- establishment of the Wounded Healers from St. John's A.M.E. Church, our residential community will be provided with a sustained effort in providing single family residential rehabilitation. In addition, young persons from the community will be afforded an opportunity for on-the-job construction work experiences. Fiscal year 2003 -2004 was a year which brought about the resurrection of the coalition of efforts between the SMCRA and local churches. This relationship is destined not only to become beneficial for residents of the SMCRA district, but also for residents throughout the city as a whole. Another encouraging development during fiscal year 2003 -2004 was the advent of Madison Square Saturdays. This event transformed a once blighted corner in a prime area of our district, into the promise of greater things to come. The energy and dedicated commitment shown by our vendors has indeed paved the way for a more permanent development. The Madison Square Town Center Development provides a catalyst to revitalize the entire intersection of S.W. 59th Place and S.W. 64th Street. In terms of fulfilling the Agency's mission,.this accomplishment will bode well for the South Miami community for many generations to come. With maximum cooperation throughout the South Miami community, there are no limits to what our SMCRA can accomplish. It is with a sense of pride and honor that we present this proposed budget of SMCRA for the fiscal year 2004 -2005. Res ectfully sub J.o ph G so SMCRA Director 9of16
