City of South Miami
City Hall
6130 Sunset Drive
South Miami, Florida 33143
Dear Mayor Robaina,
Recently, Diane Cabrera came to me with great enthusiasm regarding founding of the
first Junior Women's Commission. I believe Diane would be a great candidate for a seat
on this newly forming group for many reasons.
It was my privilege to have Diane as a student last year in Honors American History. She
is one of South Miami Seniors mover and shakers. She has been actively involved in a
wide and impressive range of activities during her four years of enrollment. She has
repeatedly demonstrated outstanding leadership, and exemplifies what is right with
today's youth. She has been Class President in both her Freshmen and Sophomore Class.
She has been involved in Student government for three years and is the current President.
She has been a member of the National Honor, Social Studies, English, and Spanish
Honor Societies. She has been a member or involved extensively in other clubs,
organizations, provided community service and all while maintain a top G.P.A. She is
certainly one of not only South Miami's best but one of Florida's as well.
She has received numerous awards and is highly respected by peers and teachers alike.
She is assertive and gravitates to responsibility. Diane always provided outstanding
participation and inquisitive questions. During my class, she displayed a particular
interest in women's issues and the political arena.
She will continue to make many contributions and achievements that make the world a
better place. I am proud to have taught this fine, young lady. She will accomplish all she
aspires to. I am happy to recommend this Renaissance woman for a seat on your new
Junior Women's commission. You will not find a better candidate.
Good luck with this honorable endeavor. The solutions lie with our youth.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Mayor Julio Robaina,
It is a real pleasure to serve as a reference for Ms. Diane Cabrera. Diane is an outstanding young
lady with strong leadership skills and extremely high academics. I have had the privilege of
working with Diane for the past two years and she is the type of student who stands out in a
crowd. She was elected by her peers as the Student Government President for the 2000 -2001
school year and has already been working to make some positive changes in our school. She also
held the office of President for her class during her freshmen and sophomore years.
During her junior year she was selected as the Cobra Voice, which serves as the voice of the
school for pep rallies and other major functions within our school. This is quite and honor for a
junior. Diane planned and coordinated all the agendas from conception to completion for all the
school pep rallies, which is a major undertaking. She was always well prepared and her verbal
skills are outstanding.
Diane is also very involved in some major clubs at South Miami. She is in the Students Against
Destructive Decisions Club and Teenagers Against Tobacco Use. She was sent to local
elementary schools to promote these programs and was praised for her enthusiasm and true desire
to reach young people about the social issues of drugs and alcohol.
Diane maintains a grade point average of 4.6 and will definitely be in the top five of her
graduating class. She works hard at academics and at life to help make this world a better place.
Her positive attitude is contagious and with her Cobra Spirit and pride she is a true leader at
South Miami Senior High.
I truly feel Diane would be an excellent candidate for a seat on the Junior Women's commission.
If you have any further questions or require any more information, please feel free to contact me
at 305- 666 -5871 Ex. 225.
Respectfully,
Joan Bias Lobo

To Whom It May Concern;
It is with great pride that I introduce Diane Cabrera. This young lady is an
exemplary leader in her community. Providing leadership to numerous school clubs,
projects and Student Council, Diane goes beyond Webster's definition of a leader.
As the president of South Miami Senior High's Student Government Association,
Diane Cabrera guides other students both in the class and throughout the school in the
hopes to inform, involve, represent, and serve our community. She also coordinates
numerous school wide elections, fundraisers, and community service projects.
Furthermore, her presidential position does not debilitate her academics: all advanced
placement courses with academic electives. Diane is amazing both academically and
personally.
As a former Advanced Placement Language and Composition student in my class,
Diane consistently achieved the high -test scores. Her determination to succeed allowed
her to partake in the national exam given by the College Board in Language and
Composition. Diane passed her exam and achieved the highest grade point average in the
course. In addition, her participation in our Socratic class discussions invigorated each
lesson and motivated her peers to reciprocate the learning experience. Diane's
responsibility to her academics is inspiring and deserving of recognition.
As a multiple Advanced Placement student, Diane received an award from the
National Collegeboard Institution for participating and successfully passing all her exams.
Diane's charisma at community service projects and in her daily academia demonstrates
her remarkable commitment to not only her learning but to her community. She
exemplifies true inner beauty and intellect. Diane Cabrera is a young lady whose optimism
and ability to lead others will enable her to make a difference in our society.
Diane personifies leadership.

To Whom It May Concern;
It is great honor to introduce to you a young woman who is an exemplary leader
to her peers: Tiffany Llera. Providing her leadership at numerous school activities,
academic assessments, and peer projects, Tiffany has proven her dedication to excellence.
Being a leader among her peers, Tiffany encourages each student, teacher and member of
the community to partake in her on -going activities: volleyball, softball, S.A.D.D.
(Students Against Destructive Decisions), and many more.
As Tiffany's Advanced Placement Language and Composition instructor, I
witnessed her potential, both in writing and reading. Her ability to express her most inner
feelings, observations and evaluations surpassed my expectations. Tiffany demonstrated
her talent to create literature out of her life experiences. Her writing is enchanting.
In addition, as a former Advanced Placement Language and Composition student
in my class, Tiffany consistently strived to achieve high -test scores, and as a result she was
able to take the Advanced Placement Language and Composition Exam. Her participation
in our Socratic class discussions invigorated each lesson and motivated her peers to
reciprocate the learning experience. Tiffany's responsibility to her academics is inspiring to
others. She managed to maintain a `B" average in her AP courses, participate in an
overwhelming medical internship, play on the girl's softball team, coordinate school
events, and she still found the time to give back to her community.
Tiffany's enthusiasm to volunteer countless hours to community service projects,
such as Key Biscayne's beach clean -up, and her thirst for challenging academics
demonstrate her remarkable commitment to not only her learning but to her community.
Tiffany is an exceptionally spirited young adult whose smile is contagious. She personifies
success.

To Whom It May Concern,
It is pleasure to serve as a reference for Ms. Tiffany Llera. Tiffany is a delightful
young lady who is always willing to work and loves to be involved in all areas of
school life. She is very active with the class of 2001 and has been involved in
various sports at South Miami Senior. Tiffany is very dependable and responsible.
She is very enthusiastic and always maintains a positive attitude. I highly
recommend her to be considered to be a member of the City of South Miami Junior
Board Committee. With her strong leadership skills and excellent communication
skills, she would be an asset to your committee. Please feel free to contact me if you
require any further information or have any questions.

To whom it may concern:
This is to inform you that Ms. Tiffany Llera was my student during the 1998 -1999 school year. She proved
herself to be a very responsible and dedicated student She excelled in all her assignments and became a

To whom it may concern,
Tiffany Llera is an outstanding student and individual in our school. She strives to put
100% effort into everything that she encounters. Tiffany is a role model and motivates her peers
to succeed and excel. I have known Tiffany Llera for the past three years at South Miami Senior
High School. I coach the badminton team and Tiffany has been one of my athletes for the past
three years. I am also the club sponsor for the Future Educators of America (F.E.A.) in our
school. Tiffany was elected President for the 2000 -2001 school year by the club members
because of her outstanding leadership and commitment to the club.
Tiffany is always willing to lend a helping hand with a smile. I highly recommend
Tiffany Llera for the City of South Miami Junior Board Committee. She will serve as a positive
addition to your Junior Board because you will be pleased with her hard work and constant
dedication. As the Sallie Mae Beginning Teacher of the Year for Region V in 1996 -1997, I
know what it means to be a hardworking individual.

November 7, 2000
AUTHORIZATION OF THE CITY
MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A
CONTRACT WITH MIRI
CONSTRUCTION
CORPORATION TO PROVIDE
STREET CONSTRUCTION
SERVICES AT A COST NOT TO
EXCEED $62,000.00, FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2000/2001.
The attached resolution seeks approval to allow the City Manager to enter into a contract with
Miri Construction Corporation to provide street construction services to the City.
BACKGROUND
Miri Construction Corporation has provided street construction services for the City of Coral
Gables for the last five years, and currently has a multi -year contract with Coral Gables for street
construction and miscellaneous services.
Last year, Miri Construction was selected to perform street construction services by the City
based upon their contract with Coral Gables. During this previous year, Miri Construction
demonstrated quality of service and responsiveness by fulfilling a great variety of requests
including sidewalk repairs, emergency street markings, paving, and right -of -way landscaping.
Based upon their competitive bid price with Coral Gables, and their demonstrated work history
with the City, it is proposed to name Miri Construction as the City's street construction
contractor again for this current fiscal year.
ANALYSIS
Last year, the contract with Miri Construction focused on sidewalk repairs (approximately 60%
of expenditures), but also included concrete curbs (15 %), paving (10 %), right -of -way
landscaping (10 %), and thermoplastic street markings (5 %). The priorities for this fiscal year
shall be based upon the recommendation from the City Commission.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of South Miami, for the past two years, has retained the services of Fausto Gomez and
Ron Book for the provision of Legislative (Lobbying) Services. This team of lobbyists, which
was competitively selected under RFP SLS- 83198, has performed in an exemplary manner and,
with the support and guidance of the City Commission, achieved unprecedented levels of
funding from the State of Florida.
South Miami, in the 2000 Session of the Florida Legislature, received over $1,700,000 in
appropriations. This included:
• Wastewater - $1,000,000
• Stormwater - $ 400,000
• Prevention Through Academic & Recreational Excellence (PARE) - $ 200,000
• Murray Park - $ 112,500
The City is developing an equally ambitious program for the upcoming 2001 Legislative Session.
The use of professional lobbyists is essential for the success of this effort. The City is fortunate
to have two of the "Deans" of the lobbying profession and their continued retained is vital to the
City's best interests.
The amount recommended was approved in the FY 2000 -01 Budget. Funding will come from
account 01- 1315 -513 -3450, which has an account balance of $123,000.

The attached ordinance would set billing rates for the Stormwater User Fee Trust Fund under the
City's newly created Stormwater Utility.
BACKGROUND
Currently, each resident and business owner is assessed "stormwater user fees" pursuant to the
Miami -Dade County Stormwater Utility. These fees, required by Florida Statutes, are essential
to plan, staff, construct, operate and maintain a local stormwater management system. Inasmuch,
this revenue source is set aside for such activities as storm drain cleaning, new drainage system
construction, and various water quality initiatives required under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Since the City is establishing its own Stormwater
Utility, we now have the flexibility to set our own fee rates.
The stormwater user fees are based upon a statistical construct called an Equivalent Residential
Unit (ERU). The ERU represents the estimated impervious area for a typical residential
dwelling unit with the City. As a result, the ERU is different for each City, and is contingent
upon zoning regulations and the number of "high density" residential structures such as
apartment buildings and condominiums. The current ERU in the City is set at 2,095 square feet.
The ERU does not affect the fees paid by residential properties, only commercial sites. Billing
for commercial sites is determined by calculating each site's impervious area versus the ERU.
So, for example, a commercial lot with three times the impervious area as a typical residential
home (i.e., 3 x 2,095 = 6,285 square feet of coverage) would be charged 3.00 ERUs for billing
purposes.
The second variable in billing is the fee rate. Currently, the fee rate is $2.50 per ERU per month.
Consequently, a residential home is charged $2.50 x 1 ERU x 12 months = $30.00 per year, and
the commercial example discussed above would be charged $2.50 x 3.00 ERUs x 12 months =
$90.00 per year.

Page 2 of 2
The stormwater user fees are assessed through the water billing system managed by the Miami -
Dade County Water & Sewer Department (WASD). However, those customers with private
water wells would have to be billed directly by our Finance Department.
RECOMMENDATIONS
As already mentioned, the City now has the flexibility to set the Stormwater User Fee rates
within the City. The attached summary of Utility rates throughout Florida indicates that the
current $2.50 / ERU is well below the industry average rate of $3.24 / ERU.
When assessing the needs of the City, it has become very apparent that in order to secure grants
from the State, County, or Federal governments; the City will need to offer matching funds.
Moreover, as you know, the greater the available match, the larger the grant we can secure. This
reality is the driving force behind the recommendation to set the rate at $3.00 / ERU. This rate
represents an increase, but is still well below the industry average of $3.24 / ERU. The proposed
ERU rate will produce a net increase in revenue of at least $42,000 for FY 2000 /01 to be used to
leverage grant funds.
In addition, it should be noted that Miami -Dade County was responsible for setting the ERUs for
commercial sites within the City. However, because of their inability to monitoring commercial
construction, those ERUs may be inaccurate. Now that we have established our own Utility, the
City can recalculate the ERUs for commercial sites to ensure billing accuracy, and potentially
generate additional revenue through such corrections.
Lastly, the ordinance also establishes a billing provision for "outfalls" (systems that discharge
rainwater off -site) to canals and municipal storm drains. As we all recently learned, the canals in
our City are host to a great variety of wildlife, including the occasional manatee. These canals
also flow directly into the environmentally sensitive Biscayne Bay. Because of this, and because
of the Federal Clean Water Act regulations, a monitoring / assessment fee on these outfalls is
proposed.
These outfalls are currently not permitted, but a number of sites within the City were apparently
constructed when stormwater disposal regulations were more lax. The rainwater outfalls
represent an unconstrained source for pollution from untreated stormwater runoff, and must
therefore be monitored by the City. The proposed outfall monitoring fee is $1,000 per year per
site (a list of sites subject to this fee is attached). Far from being a punitive measure, this fee
could be avoided if those sites decided to eliminate the outfalls.
Approval of the attached ordinance is therefore recommended.

Request :
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, APPROVING AN AMENDMENT (DCA- 00 -UIR1) TO THE ADOPTED
SOUTH MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN ORDER TO UPDATE CERTAIN SECTIONS
OF THE PLAN PERTAINING TO THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
AREA; MORE SPECIFICALLY TO REVISE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE
ELEMENT TO INCLUDE INFORMATION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES, AND
BOUNDARIES FOR THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA AND
TO PROVIDE A MAP IDENTIFYING THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AREA AS AN URBAN INFILL AND REDEVELOPMENT AREA;
PROVIDING FOR RENUMBERING AND /OR COMBINATION PARTS OF THIS
ORDINANCE WITH OTHER SECTIONS OR PARTS OF THE SOUTH MIAMI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY ; PROVIDING FOR
ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The City Administration and the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency are
requesting:
(1) That the City's Comprehensive Plan be updated to include current data ,goals, objectives
policies and a boundary map for the City's Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), which was
created in 1997. This will require a text amendment to Chapter 1, Future Land Use Element of
the Comprehensive Plan; and
(2) That the Comprehensive Plan be further amended to delineate the same CRA area as an
"Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area" This designation is a result of State legislation adopted
Comprehensive Plan Amendment; CRA
November 7, 2000
Page 2 of 4
in 1999, which encourages redevelopment of urban core areas. Local governments which
designate an urban infill area are eligible to apply for a number of planning and implementation
grants from the State and also receive elevated priority in infrastructure funding, loans and bond
programs. The application to designate an urban infill and redevelopment area requires that the
boundaries of the proposed area be first delineated in the City's Comprehensive Plan. This will
require a text amendment to the same Chapter 1, Future Land Use Element.
BACKGROUND
Currently, the Future Land Use Element of the City of South Miami Comprehensive Plan contains
outdated information regarding the City's redevelopment efforts. This is because much of the
Comprehensive Plan, and especially the Land Use Analysis Section, was written prior to 1989 and,
therefore, predates the City's formal commitment to redevelopment. Since the Comprehensive Plan
was originally adopted in 1989, the City of South Miami conducted a Finding of Necessity for a
Proposed Community Redevelopment Agency Area (1996) and created the South Miami
Community Redevelopment Agency (1997). The Comprehensive Plan should be updated to
recognize and describe these efforts, demonstrate the boundaries of the CRA Area and include
contemporary redevelopment goals, objectives and policies.
Additionally, in the 1999 Legislative Session, the Florida Legislature amended Chapter 163 of
Florida Statutes in order to enhance and augment the State's commitment to urban infill and
redevelopment. The changes to Chapter 163 authorized the creation of the "Urban infill and
redevelopment areas" concept. The legislation enables redevelopment and renewal of distressed
urban cores and creates economic incentives for the designation of a community as an Urban Infill
and Redevelopment Area. Due to the similarities between existing community redevelopment
regulations and the newer urban infill and redevelopment regulations, the South Miami Community
Redevelopment Area satisfies the threshold criteria of an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
Therefore, by delineating the boundaries of the SMCRA Redevelopment Area as an Urban Infll
and Redevelopment Area, the SMCRA would become eligible for significant economic incentives.
SPECIFIC AMENDMENTS
EXHIBIT 1 Text Amendment, Chapter 1 Future Land Use Element
The Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan currently contains in the text a subsection
entitled, "Analysis of the Need for Redevelopment." This subsection is shown in Exhibit 1
(attached) and consists of a paragraph which was written in 1989 and a newer paragraph added in
1997. Paragraph one identifies and briefly describes three blighted areas in the City of South Miami
and references Figure 1.8, a map demonstrating the blighted areas. Paragraph two, added in 1997, is
a single sentence which refers to the City's then on -going efforts to create a Community
Redevelopment Agency and tax increment financing district. Both paragraphs in the "Analysis of
the Need for Redevelopment" subsection are outdated and should be removed ( indicated by strike -
through).
Comprehensive Plan Amendment; CRA
November 7, 2000
Page 3 of 4
A new section (all underlined) entitled "Redevelopment of Slum and Blighted Areas " is inserted in
order to properly describe the City's efforts to redevelop its blighted areas through the creation of
the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area and Redevelopment Agency. The boundaries of
the Redevelopment Area are indicated on a map (Figure 1.8) which replaces the existing map. The
new added section also explains the implementation programs including the tax increment finance
district being used as a funding source. A final paragraph explains the importance of the State's new
Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area legislation
EXHIBIT 2 Goals Objectives and Policies Amendment, Chapter 1 Future Land Use Element
The Goals, Objectives and Policies Section of the Future Land Use Element specifically addresses
redevelopment in Objective 1.2, and two associated policies. The language should be updated to
properly reflect the City's past and current actions related to the South Miami Community
Redevelopment Area. Exhibit 2 removes the current objective and policies and replaces them with
new objectives setting forth the Redevelopment Area's boundaries, and a commitment to resources
and implementation programs (i.e. tax increment district). A second new objective and related
policies state that the City will seek additional resources to support the South Miami
Redevelopment Area This includes a policy formally designating the. City's Redevelopment Area
as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1) The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency at its September 11, 2000 meeting
approved a resolution (Attach ment "A ") supporting the proposed amendment updating the
Comprehensive Plan as it pertains to the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area, and
also supporting the designation of the same area as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
2) The proposed amendment to update the Comprehensive Plan text with information about the
South Miami Community Redevelopment Area is basically a required technical amendment.
The new boundaries map , and the revised goals, objectives and policies are necessary to
demonstrate that the City has pursued the redevelopment of blighted areas and is making a
commitment to provide funding and resources to implement the redevelopment area plan.
3) The designation of the same community redevelopment area as an Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Area is accomplished by the inclusion of the revised map, Figure 1.8, and the
new proposed Policy 5.2.1. This action is necessary in order for the City to submit an
application to the State of Florida requesting designation as an Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Area. A copy of Florida State Statutes pertaining to the Urban Infill and
Redevelopment (FS# 163.2511 through 2517) is attached for informational
purposes. (Attach men t "B ")
4) The staff of the CRA Agency has prepared a report demonstrating that the South Miami
Community Redevelopment Area meets all of the eligibility criteria to be designated as an
Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. This report,(Attachment "C ") which is attached for
Comprehensive Plan Amendment; CRA
November 7, 2000
Page 4 of 4
informational purposes , will be submitted to the State as part of the application package.
5) The primary impact of the designation of the area as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment
Area, if approved by the State, is to make the City eligible to apply for a number of planning and
implementation grants from the State and to also receive elevated priority in infrastructure funding,
loans and bond programs.
LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION
The Local Planning Agency (Planning Board) at its September 26, 2000 meeting adopted a motion (5 -0)
recommending approval of the proposed amendments. (Minutes attached)
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS REVIEW
The City Commission at its October 17, 2000 meeting approved the proposed amendment on first reading
and directed that the amendment package be transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs
for review. The Department of Community Affairs was further requested to expedite its review process by
waiving their formal review of the amendment. Attached is a copy of a communication, dated October 24,
2000 from the Department advising that the amendment submission package is complete and that the City
will be informed shortly as to the status of the review. (Letter attached)
It is important to note that an earlier courtesy review of the City's amendment application was performed
by the Department of Community Affairs. At that the time the Department advised that additional data
was needed in the section of the amendment which qualifies the area as an Urban infill and
Redevelopment Area. This information is included as p.7 of Attachment "C ".
It is anticipated that DCA will waive its formal review process on the amendment package. The
amendment must be adopted as a pre- requisite for submitting a grant application (deadline, November
15,2000) for funding projects in the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
The South Florida Regional Planning Council, at its November 6, 2000 meeting is expected to adopt its
staff recommendation that the City's amendment package (DCA # 00 -UIRI) is consistent with the
Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida, and that the amendment should be transmitted , without
formal review, to the Florida Department of Community Affairs. (Staff Report attached)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the proposed ordinance referencing the amendments to the Future Land Use
Element of the South Miami Comprehensive Plan as shown in Exhibits I and 2 be approved on second
reading .

AGENDA ITEM #9b
SUBJECT: CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
REVIEW
Introduction
On October 23, 2000, Council staff received proposed amendment #00 -UR11, to the City of South
Miami Comprehensive Plan for review of consistency with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South
Florida (SRPP). Staff review is undertaken pursuant to the Local Government Comprehensive
Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, and Rules
9J -5 and 9J -11, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). I
Community Profile
The City of South Miami is located in the south- central portion of the Miami -Dade County
urbanized area and encompasses a total area of approximately 1,552 acres or 2.4 square miles. The
estimated population in 1999 was 10,546, which represents an approximate 1.3 percent increase in
population over the 1990 estimate. The City is entirely surrounded by unincorporated Miami -Dade
County except for a small border with Coral Gables on the east and the Village of Pinecrest on the
south. It covers a rectangular shaped area that is approximately defined by Bird Road on the north,
Davis Road on the South, Red Road on the east, and Ludlam Road on the west. The City is
noncontiguous between Miller Drive and Bird Road with portions of the City divided by sections of
unincorporated Miami -Dade County.
The City is bisected by U.S. Highway #1 (US 1) which is a six-lane divided highway and the
primary arterial for the southern 'portion of Miami -Dade County. An elevated portion of the
Miami -Dade County Metrorail transit system and transit corridor is situated directly alongside US
1, and runs parallel to the highway through the City of South Miami.
South Miami has an' established small town character made up of ten distinct single- family
neighborhoods. Multiple- family housing is scattered throughout the City at the periphery of single -
family neighborhoods. South Miami residents have a variety of retail services close to home to serve .
them. The City is also served by a pedestrian- oriented specialty retail district that serves as a core.
The commercial uses serve both residents of South Miami and a large number of non - residents. The
City's future land use map designates neither industrial uses nor agricultural uses. There is about
29.42 acres of vacant land, which represents about 1.89% of the City's total land area.

Summary of Staff Analysis
Proposed amendment #00 -URI1 would incorporate text changes to the Future Land Use Element
and revise the map showing the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) boundaries. There are
no land use plan changes proposed in this amendment. A map showing the general location of the
City is included in Attachment 1, the map of the CRA is provided in Attachment 2, and an aerial
photograph of the CRA is provided in Attachment 3.
The Future Land Use Element presently in force was written prior to 1989 and predates the City's
formal commitment to redevelopment. Since the Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in
1989, the City of South Miami has conducted a Finding of Necessity for a Proposed Community
Redevelopment Agency Area (1996) and created the South Miami Community Redevelopment
Agency (1997). The proposed amendment would update the Data /Analysis section by adding a
new section entitled "Redevelopment of Slum and Blighted Areas" which includes an updated
chronology of the City's efforts to create a South Miami Community Redevelopment Area (CRA),
and a revised map indicating boundaries of the CRA to replace the existing map. The CRA is
generally bounded by SW 62nd Street to the north, Red Road to the east, Sunset Drive to the south,
and SW 62nd Avenue (Paul Tevis Drive) to the west. An explanation of the implementation
programs including the tax increment finance district, and an explanation of the Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Area legislation is also included. Supporting documentation provides evidence
demonstrating that the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area is eligible to be designated
as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
The proposed amendment would also revise the Goals, Objectives, and Policies section of the
Future Land Use Element by setting forth a new Goal 5 on revitalization and a series of
implementing objectives and policies. A new Policy 5.2.1 would formally designate the City's
existing Community Redevelopment Area as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
The proposed amendment was approved by a unanimous vote of the four City Commissioners in
attendance at the City Council meeting on October 17, 2000. The City of South Miami requests that
the Department of Community Affairs not formally review the proposed amendment, and process
this request as expeditiously as possible due to its bearing on the City's Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Grant application.
Staff analysis confirms that this amendment is not expected to create any significant adverse
regional impacts and is compatible with the goals and policies of the SRPP, particularly those goals
and polices relating to Land Use and Public Facilities.
Recommendation
Find proposed amendment #00 -URI1 to the City of South Miami's Comprehensive Plan generally
consistent with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida. Further find that the Council does
not request formal review of the amendment by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
Approve this agenda item for transmittal to DCA.

redevelopment within the urban core.
• The City of South Miami designated the South Miami Community Redevelopment
Agency for the purpose of preventing the spread of and eliminating slum and blight.
To accomplish its purpose the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan
empowers the SMCRA to provide for economic development, job creation, housing,
transportation, crime prevention, neighborhood revitalization and preservation. Land
use incentives have already been established in the area through mixed -use and
transit - oriented development land uses.
(2) (a) As part of the preparation and implementation of an urban infill and redevelopment plan,
a collaborative and holistic community participation process must be implemented to
include each neighborhood within the area targeted for designation as an urban infill
and redevelopment area. The objective of the community participation process is to
encourage communities within the proposed urban infill and redevelopment area to
participate in the design and implementation of the plan, including a "visioning" of the
urban core, before redevelopment.
• The South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan ( SMCRP) would serve as the
City's urban infill and redevelopment plan. The creation of the SMCRP included a
collaborative and holistic community participation as required by State law and is
further described in Section D, Attachment 1 of the City of South Miami's Front
Porch Florida Application, attached as Exhibit " 7'.
(b) 1. A neighborhood participation process must be developed to provide for the ongoing
involvement of stakeholder groups including, but not limited to, community-based
organizations, neighborhood associations, financial institutions, faith organizations,
housing authorities, financial institutions, existing businesses, businesses interested in
operating in the community, schools, and neighborhood residents, in preparing and
implementing the urban infill and redevelopment plan.
(2)
Section Four of the SMCRP, starting on page 17 of the subject document, requires
ongoing involvement of stakeholder groups by 1) making the SMCRA Board subject to
the Florida Sunshine Law, 2) requiring public meetings, 3) requiring semi - annual public
workshops to report on programs and project status and progress, gather input from
stakeholders and discuss strategies relating to local redevelopment issues.
2. The neighborhood participation process must include a governance structure whereby
the local government shares decision making authority for developing and implementing
the urban infill and redevelopment plan with community -wide representatives. For
example, the local government and community representatives could organize a
corporation under s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to implement specific
redevelopment projects.
• The governance structure of the SMCRA requires that the Agency share decision -
making authority with community -wide representatives. Two members of the seven
member SMCRA Board must be residents of the SMCRA Area, and two members of
the five member SMCRA Advisory Board must be residents of the SMCRA Area.
(3) A local government seeking to designate a geographic area within its jurisdiction as an
urban infill and redevelopment area shall prepare a plan that describes the infill and
redevelopment objectives of the local government within the proposed area. In lieu of
preparing a new plan, the local government may demonstrate that an existing plan or
combination of plans associated with a community redevelopment area, Florida Main
Street program, Front Porch Florida Community, sustainable community, enterprise
zone, or neighborhood improvement district includes the factors listed in paragraphs (a)-
(n), including a collaborative and holistic community participation process, or amend
such existing plans to include these factors. The plan shall demonstrate the local
government and community's commitment to comprehensively address the urban
problems within the urban infill and redevelopment area and identify activities and
programs to accomplish locally identified goals such as code enforcement; improved
educational opportunities; reduction in crime; neighborhood revitalization and
preservation; provision of infrastructure needs, including mass transit and multimodal
linkages; and mixed -use planning to promote multifunctional redevelopment to improve
both the residential and commercial quality of life in the area. The plan shall also:
• As previously mentioned, the City of South Miami approved and created the South
Miami Community Redevelopment Plan (SMCRP). The SMCRP describes the infill
and redevelopment objectives of the SMCRA within the Redevelopment Area and
includes the factors listed in the below paragraphs (a) -(n), including a collaborative
and holistic community participation process. The SMCRP demonstrates the City,
community and SMCRA's commitment to comprehensively addressing the urban
problems within the Redevelopment Area and specifically outlines activities and
programs to accomplish locally identified goals.
(a) Contain a map depicting the geographic area or areas to be included within the
designation.
(3)
• The SMCRP contains several maps depicting the geographic area or areas of the
SMCRA Redevelopment Area and proposed Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
• Additionally, this comprehensive plan amendment proposes to revise the existing
Figure 1.8 to demonstrate the boundaries of the SMCRA Redevelopment Area and
the South Miami Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
(b) Confirm that the infill and redevelopment area is within an area designated for urban
uses in the local government's comprehensive plan.
• The SMCRP contains urban uses as demonstrated in the excerpt of the City of South
Miami's Future Land Use Map located on page 1 C of the SMCRP.
(c) Identify and map existing enterprise zones, community redevelopment areas, community
development corporations, brownfield areas, downtown redevelopment districts, safe
neighborhood improvement districts, historic preservation districts, and empowerment
zones or enterprise communities located within the area proposed for designation as an
urban infill and redevelopment area and provide a framework for coordinating infill and
redevelopment programs within the urban core.
• The SMCRA Redevelopment Area and proposed Urban Infill and Redevelopment
Area share the same boundaries, programs and projects.
(d) Identify a memorandum of understanding between the district school board and the local
government jurisdiction regarding public school facilities located within the urban infill
and redevelopment area to identify how the school board will provide priority to
enhancing public school facilities and programs in the designated area, including the
reuse of existing buildings for schools within the area.
• The SMCRA is working towards solidifying its relationship with the Miami -Dade
School Board. The City of South Miami also has an Education Advisory Board
which is working with the Miami -Dade School Board. The SMCRP calls for a
collaborative process for enhancing the one school located with the SMCRA
Redevelopment Area/proposed Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
(e) Identify each neighborhood within the proposed area and state community preservation
and revitalization goals and projects identified through a collaborative and holistic
community participation process and how such projects will be implemented.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, pages 23 -27.
(fl Identify how the local government and community -based organizations intend to
implement affordable housing programs, including, but not limited to, economic and
community development programs administered by federal and state agencies, within the
urban infill and redevelopment area.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, pages 23 -37 and 34 -35.
(g) Identify strategies for reducing crime.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, page 44.
(4)
(h� If applicable, provide guidelines for the adoption of land development regulations
specific to the urban infill and redevelopment area which include, for example, setbacks
and parking requirements appropriate to urban development.
• Not applicable because guidelines were already adopted as part of the Transit -
Oriented Development District and Mixed -Use land use categories and zoning
districts.
(i) Identify and map any existing transportation concurrency exception areas and any
relevant public transportation corridors designated by a metropolitan planning
organization in its long -range transportation plans or by the local government in its
comprehensive plan for which the local government seeks designation as a transportation
concurrency exception area For those areas, describe how public transportation,
pedestrian ways, and bikeways will be implemented as an alternative to increased
automobile use.
• A transportation concurrency area was previously approved as part of the City of
South Miami's Redevelopment and Infill District, which is exhibited in the
Comprehensive Plan (Figure 1.10) and attached as Exhibit 1181.
(j) Identify and adopt a package of financial and local government incentives which the
local government will offer for new development, expansion of existing development, and
redevelopment within the urban infill and redevelopment area. Examples of such
incentives include:
1. Waiver of license and permit fees.
2. Exemption of sales made in the urban infill and redevelopment area from local option
sales surtaxes imposed pursuant to 's. 212.054.
3. Waiver of delinquent local taxes or fees to promote the return of property to
productive use.
4. Expedited permitting.
S. Lower transportation impact fees for development which encourages more use of
public transit, pedestrian, and bicycle modes of transportation.
6 Prioritization of infrastructure spending within the urban infill and redevelopment
area.
7. Local government absorption of developers' concurrency costs.
• A package of financial and local government incentives are available as described in
the SMCRP, pages 23 -44.
(k) Identify how activities and incentives within the urban infill and redevelopment area will
be coordinated and what administrative mechanism the local government will use for the
coordination.
• Activities and incentives are coordinated through the SMCRA administration as
appropriate per the policy recommendations of the SMCRA Advisory Board and
policy decisions of the SMCRA Board.
(5)
(1) Identify how partnerships with the financial and business community will be developed.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, pages 23 -44.
(m) Identify the governance structure that the local government will use to involve community
representatives in the implementation of the plan.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, SMCRA Board and SMCRA Advisory Board by -laws. The
by -laws are attached as Exhibit "9A" and "9B ".
(n) Identify performance measures to evaluate the success of the local government in
implementing the urban infill and redevelopment plan.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, pages 17 -27.
The above analysis explicitly evidences that the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area
and the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan fulfill the criteria necessary for the
designation of the subject area as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. The benefit for such
designation is equally clear.
As an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area, the SMCRA would receive the following benefits:
1) elevated priority in infrastructure funding, loan and grant programs administered by State
agencies such as the Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of
Community Affairs and the Department of Transportation;
2) priority in the allocation of private activity bonds from the state pool; and
3) eligibility to apply for an implementation grant in an amount of up to $300,000.
These benefits are significant, serve to fulfill the SMCRA's goal of leveraging its TIF dollars and
would not result in any substantial, if any, negative impacts to the SMCRA or City of South Miami

Redevelopment of Slum and Blighted Areas
In 1996, the City of South Miami commissioned a study, known as a Finding of Necessity. to
assess the need for redevelopment in the area generally bounded by S.W. 62 Street to the north,
Red Road to the east, Sunset Drive to the south, and S.W. 62 Avenue (Paul Tevis Drive) to the
west. The "Finding of Necessity" identified "a combination of conditions that require a need for
redevelopment" in the study area, including: building and site deterioration; property maintenance
code violations; non - conforming structures; age of structures; unsanitary conditions; drainage
deficiencies; diversity of ownership; vacant buildings; vacant lots; inadequate street layout; and
high crime rates.

In 1997 in order to rehabilitate, conserve and redevelop the above - described study area and
pursuant to Chester 163, Part III of Florida Statutes, the City of South Miami created the South
Miami Community Redevelopment Agency ( SMCRA) and delineated a Redevelopment Area. The
boundaries of the 185 acre Redevelopment Area are exhibited on Figure 1.8. In accordance with
State law, the SMCRA is conferred with the powers to carry out "community redevelopment" per
the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan ( SMCRP).
In addition to the creation of the SMCRA, the City of South Miami also implemented a tax
increment finance (TIF) district. The TIF district has the same boundaries as the SMCRA
Redevelopment Area and began providing significant funding to the SMCRA in fiscal year 1999-
2000. The TIF allows the SMCRA to implement redevelopment programs and projects identified
in the SMCRP including, but not limited to: infrastructure improvement ;residential rehabilitation ;
code enforcement enhancement; business incentive loans; landscaping /streetscaping program;
mortgage subsidy guarantee; in -fill & new housing program-, park improvements; redevelopment
loan guarantees• vacant commercial building rehabilitation; environmental clean -up; and a
commercial /retail facade improvement program;
The SMCRA is committed to redeveloping. renewing and revitalizing the Redevelopment Area
through the above programs and proiects and by pursuing all appropriate available resources.
In 1999 the Florida Legislature amended Chapter 163 of Florida Statutes in order to enhance and
augment the State's commitment to urban infill and redevelopment. The changes to Chapter 163
recognized the importance of healthy urban cores by creating the "Urban infill and redevelopment
areas" concept. The legislation enables redevelopment and renewal of distressed urban cores and
creates economic incentives for the designation of a community as an Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Area. Although these changes were made in the 1999 Legislative Session, the
regulations are very similar to existing community redevelopment regulations found in Chapter
163. Part III. As a result, the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area meets the threshold
criteria necessary to be designated as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. Figure 1.8
demonstrates the boundaries of the South Miami Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.

Request :
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO AN AMENDMENT TO THE ADOPTED SOUTH
MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN ORDER TO UPDATE CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE
PLAN PERTAINING TO THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA;
MORE SPECIFICALLY TO REVISE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE
ELEMENT TO INCLUDE INFORMATION, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES, AND
BOUNDARIES FOR THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA AND
TO PROVIDE A MAP IDENTIFYING THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AREA AS AN URBAN INFILL AND REDEVELOPMENT AREA;
PROVIDING FOR RENUMBERING AND /OR COMBINATION PARTS OF THIS
ORDINANCE WITH OTHER SECTIONS OR PARTS OF THE SOUTH MIAMI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY ; PROVIDING FOR
ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The City Administration and the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency are
requesting:
(1) That the City's Comprehensive Plan be updated to include current data ,goals, objectives
policies and a boundary map for the City's Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), which was
created in 1997. This will require a text amendment to Chapter 1, Future Land Use Element of
the Comprehensive Plan; and
(2) That the Comprehensive Plan be further amended to delineate the same CRA area as an
"Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area" This designation is a result of State legislation adopted
in 1999, which encourages redevelopment of urban core areas. Local governments which
Comprehensive Plan Amendment; CRA
October 17, 2000
Page 2 of 4
designate an urban infill area are eligible to apply for a number of planning and implementation
grants from the State and also receive elevated priority in infrastructure funding, loans and bond
programs. The application to designate an urban infill and redevelopment area requires that the
boundaries of the proposed area be first delineated in the City's Comprehensive Plan. This will
require a text amendment to the same Chapter 1, Future Land Use Element.
BACKGROUND
Currently, the Future Land Use Element of the City of South Miami Comprehensive Plan contains
outdated information regarding the City's redevelopment efforts. This is because much of the
Comprehensive Plan, and especially the Land Use Analysis Section, was written prior to 1989 and,
therefore, predates the City's formal commitment to redevelopment. Since the Comprehensive Plan
was originally adopted in 1989, the City of South Miami conducted a Finding of Necessity for a
Proposed Community Redevelopment Agency Area (1996) and created the South Miami
Community Redevelopment Agency (1997). The Comprehensive Plan should be updated to
recognize and describe these efforts, demonstrate the boundaries of the CRA Area and include
contemporary redevelopment goals, objectives and policies.
Additionally, in the 1999 Legislative Session, the Florida Legislature amended Chapter 163 of
Florida Statutes in order to enhance and augment the State's commitment to urban infill and
redevelopment. The changes to Chapter 163 authorized the creation of the "Urban infill and
redevelopment areas" concept. The legislation enables redevelopment and renewal of distressed
urban cores and creates economic incentives for the designation of a community as an Urban Infill
and Redevelopment Area. Due to the similarities between existing community redevelopment
regulations and the newer urban infill and redevelopment regulations, the South Miami Community
Redevelopment Area satisfies the threshold criteria of an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
Therefore, by delineating the boundaries of the SMCRA Redevelopment Area as an Urban Infill
and Redevelopment Area, the SMCRA would become eligible for significant economic incentives.
SPECIFIC AMENDMENTS
EXHIBIT 1. Text Amendment, Chapter_ l_ Future Land Use Element
The Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan currently contains in the text a subsection
entitled, "Analysis of the Need for Redevelopment." This subsection is shown in Exhibit 1
(attached) and consists of a paragraph which was written in 1989 and a newer paragraph added in
1997. Paragraph one identifies and briefly describes three blighted areas in the City of South Miami
and references Figure 1.8, a map demonstrating the blighted areas. Paragraph two, added in 1997, is
a single sentence which refers to the City's then on -going efforts to create a Community
Redevelopment Agency and tax increment financing district. Both paragraphs in the "Analysis of
the Need for Redevelopment" subsection are outdated and should be removed ( indicated by str4ke-
th&etig- ).
A new section (all underlined) entitled "Redevelopment of Slum and Blighted Areas " is inserted in
order to properly describe the City's efforts to redevelop its blighted areas through the creation of
Comprehensive Plan Amendment; CRA

the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area and Redevelopment Agency. The boundaries of
the Redevelopment Area are indicated on a map (Figure 1.8) which replaces the existing map. The
new added section also explains the implementation programs including the tax increment finance
district being used as a funding source. A final paragraph explains the importance of the State's new
Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area legislation
EXHIBIT 2 Goals Objectives and Policies Amendment Chapter 1 Future Land Use Element
The Goals, Objectives and Policies Section of the Future Land Use Element specifically addresses
redevelopment in Objective 1.2, and two associated policies. The language should be updated to
properly reflect the City's past and current actions related to the South Miami Community
Redevelopment Area. Exhibit 2 removes the current objective and policies and replaces them with
new objectives setting forth the Redevelopment Area's boundaries, and a commitment to resources
and implementation programs (i.e. tax increment district). A second new objective and related
policies state that the City will seek additional resources to support the South Miami
Redevelopment Area This includes a policy formally designating the. City's Redevelopment Area
as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1) The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency at its September 11, 2000 meeting
approved a resolution (Attachment "A ") supporting the proposed amendment updating the
Comprehensive Plan as it pertains to the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area, and
also supporting the designation of the same area as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
2) The proposed amendment to update the Comprehensive Plan text with information about the
South Miami Community Redevelopment Area is basically a required technical amendment.
The new boundaries map , and the revised goals, objectives and policies are necessary to
demonstrate that the City has pursued the redevelopment of blighted areas and is making a
commitment to provide funding and resources to implement the redevelopment area plan.
3) The designation of the same community redevelopment area as an Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Area is accomplished by the inclusion of the revised map, Figure 1.8, and the
new proposed Policy 5.2.1. This action is necessary in order for the City to submit an
application to the State of Florida requesting designation as an Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Area. A copy of Florida State Statutes pertaining to the Urban Infill and
Redevelopment (FS# 163.2511 through 2517) is attached for informational
purposes.(Attachmcnt "B ")
4) The staff of the CRA Agency has prepared a report demonstrating that the South Miami
Community Redevelopment Area meets all of the eligibility criteria to be designated as an
Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. This report,(Attachment "C ") which is attached for
informational purposes , will be submitted to the State as part of the application package.
5) The primary impact of the designation of the area as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment

October 17, 2000
Page 4 of 4
Area, if approved by the State, is to make the City eligible to apply for a number of planning
and implementation grants from the State and to also receive elevated priority in
infrastructure funding, loans and bond programs.
LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION
The Local Planning Agency (Planning Board) at its September 26, 2000 meeting adopted a
motion (5 -0) recommending approval of the proposed amendments.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the proposed ordinance containing the amendments to the Future Land
Use Element of the South Miami Comprehensive Plan as shown in Exhibits 1 and 2 be approved
on first reading and transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs . It is further
recommended that the Department be requested to eliminate the preparation of the standard ORC
report so that an expedited review of the amendments can take place.

ADD the following:
Redevelopment of Slum and Blighted Areas
In 1996 the City of South Miami commissioned a study, known as a Finding of Necessity, to
assess the need for redevelopment in the area-generally bounded by S.W. 62 Street to the north,
Red Road to the east Sunset Drive to the south and S.W. 62 Avenue (Paul Tevis Drive) to the
west The "Finding of Necessity" identified "a combination of conditions that require a need for
redevelopment" in the study area including: building and site deterioration; property maintenance
code violations-, non - conforming structures; age of structures*, unsanitary conditions; drainage
deficiencies; diversity of ownership; vacant buildings: vacant lots; inadequate street layout; and
W4 crime rates.
Element 1
Page Number 5
In 1997 in order to rehabilitate conserve and redevelop the above - described study area and
pursuant to Chapter 163 Part III of Florida Statutes the City of South Miami created the South
Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (SMCRA) and delineated a Redevelopment Area. The
boundaries of the 185 acre Redevelopment Area are exhibited on Figure 1.8. In accordance with
State law, the SMCRA is conferred with the powers to carry out "community redevelopment" per
the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan ( SMCRP).
In addition to the creation of the SMCRA the City of South Miami also implemented a tax
increment finance (TIF) district The TIF district has the same boundaries as the SMCRA
Redevelopment Area and bean providing significant funding to the SMCRA in fiscal year 1999-
2000 The TIF allows the SMCRA to implement redevelopment programs and projects identified
in the SMCRP including but not limited to: infrastructure improvement ;residential rehabilitation ;
code enforcement enhancement business incentive loans landscaping /streetsca12 R program;
mortgage subsidy guarantee• in -fill & new housing pro rg am park improvements redevelopment
loan guarantees• vacant commercial building rehabilitation; environmental clean -up; and a
commercial /retail facade improvement program;
The SMCRA is committed to redeveloping renewing and revitalizing the Redevelopment Area
through the above programs and projects and by pursuing all appropriate available resources.
In 1999 the Florida Legislature amended Chapter 163 of Florida Statutes in order to enhance and
augment the State's commitment to urban infill and redevelopment. The changes to Chapter 163
recognized the importance of healthy urban cores by creating the "Urban infill and redevelopment
areas" concept The legislation enables redevelopment and renewal of distressed_ urban cores and
creates economic incentives for the designation of a community as an Urban Infill and
Redevelopment Area Although these changes were made in the 1999 Legislative Session, the
regulations are very similar to existing community redevelopment regulations found to Chapter
163 Part III As a result the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area meets the threshold
criteria necessary to be designated as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. Figure 1.8
demonstrates the boundaries of the South Miami Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.

ind the state; conversely, the deterioration of those urban cores negatively
mpacts the surrounding area and the state.
c) In recognition of the interwoven destiny between the urban center, the
suburbs, the region, and the state, the respective governments need to establish
i framework and work in partnership with communities and the private sector to
evitalize urban centers.

educational, recreational, economic, transportation, and social service
f) Infili development and redevelopment are recognized to be important
.amponents and useful mechanisms for promoting and sustaining urban cores.

EVIDENCE DEMONSTRATING THAT THE
THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA IS ELIGIBLE TO BE
DESIGNATED AS AN THE URBAN INFILL AND REDEVELOPMENT AREA
The below analysis specifically outlines the regulations regarding Urban Infill and Redevelopment
Areas and evidences that the SMCRA Redevelopment Area fulfills all necessary criteria for
designation. State regulations /criteria are italicized and evidence that the SMCRA Redevelopment
Area fulfills these regulations /criteria is bulleted.
Section 163.2514 requires areas designated as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area to:
1) have public services such as water and wastewater, transportation, schools, and
recreation;
• Page number 106, attached as Exhibit "I", of the City of South Miami's Adopted
Comprehensive Plan notes that "the entire City is served by public water lines..."
• Figure 4.1 of the City of South Miami's Adopted Comprehensive Plan, attached as
Exhibit "2 ", demonstrates that in 1987 almost the entire SMCRA Redevelopment Area
was served by municipal wastewater facilities. Since 1987, Miami -Dade County has
further expanded the wastewater facilities.
• Exhibit "3" demonstrates the presence of public transit.
• Ludlam Elementary School, South Miami Elementary School, South Miami Middle
School, South Miami High School and JRE Lee Alternative School serve the SMCRA
Redevelopment Area. All schools, except South Miami Middle School and South
Miami High School, are the only schools not specifically identified in Figure 6.1,
attached as Exhibit 114 ".
• Recreation facilities serve the SMCRA Redevelopment Area as demonstrated by Figure
6.1, attached as Exhibit 114 ".
2) suffer from pervasive poverty, unemployment, and general distress;
• The Finding of Necessity for the Proposed CRA Area, attached as Exhibit "5 ",
demonstrates pervasive poverty, unemployment and general distress. Please note that
statistics regarding pervasive poverty and unemployment are found in Exhibit II of the
Finding of Necessity.
3) exhibit a proportion of properties that are substandard, overcrowded, dilapidated, vacant
or abandoned, or functionally obsolete which is higher than the average for the local
government;
• The Finding of Necessity and the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan,
attached as Exhibit "6 ", exhibit a proportion of properties that are substandard,
overcrowded, dilapidated, vacant or abandoned, or functionally obsolete which is higher
than the average for the City of South Miami.
4) have more than 50 percent of the subject area within '/ mile of a transit stop; and
• Exhibit "3" demonstrates that more than 50 percent of the subject area is within 11/4 mile
of a transit stop.
5) include or be adjacent to community redevelopment areas, brownfields, enterprise zones, or
Main Street programs, or has been designated by the state or Federal Government as an
urban redevelopment, revitalization, or infill area under empowerment zone, enterprise
community, or brownfield showcase community programs or similar programs.
• The proposed Infill and Community Redevelopment Area is a community
redevelopment area.
Section 163.2517 sets forth the regulations regarding designation of urban infill and redevelopment
areas and states:
1) A local government may designate a geographic area or areas within its jurisdiction as
an urban infill and redevelopment area for the purpose of targeting economic
development, job creation, housing, transportation, crime prevention, neighborhood
revitalization and preservation, and land use incentives to encourage urban infill and
redevelopment within the urban core.
• The City of South Miami designated the South Miami Community Redevelopment
Agency for the purpose of preventing the spread of and eliminating slum and blight.
To accomplish its purpose the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan
empowers the SMCRA to provide for economic development, job creation, housing,
transportation, crime prevention, neighborhood revitalization and preservation. Land
use incentives have already been established in the area through mixed -use and
transit- oriented development land uses.
(2) (a) As part of the preparation and implementation of an urban infill and redevelopment plan,
a collaborative and holistic community participation process must be implemented to
include each neighborhood within the area targeted for designation as an urban infill
and redevelopment area. The objective of the community participation process is to
encourage communities within the proposed urban infill and redevelopment area to
participate in the design and implementation of the plan, including a "visioning" of the
urban core, before redevelopment.
• The South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan ( SMCRP) would serve as the
City's urban infill and redevelopment plan. The creation of the SMCRP included a
collaborative and holistic community participation as required by State law and is
further described in Section D, Attachment 1 of the City of South Miami's Front
Porch Florida Application, attached as Exhibit "7 ".
(b)1. A neighborhood participation process must be developed to provide for the ongoing
involvement of stakeholder groups including, but not limited to, community-based
organizations, neighborhood associations, financial institutions, faith organizations,
housing authorities, financial institutions, existing businesses, businesses interested in
operating in the community, schools, and neighborhood residents, in preparing and
implementing the urban infill and redevelopment plan.
(2)
Section Four of the SMCRP, starting on page 17 of the subject document, requires
ongoing involvement of stakeholder groups by 1) making the SMCRA Board subject to
the Florida Sunshine Law, 2) requiring public meetings, 3) requiring semi - annual public
workshops to report on programs and project status and progress, gather input from
stakeholders and discuss strategies relating to local redevelopment issues.
2. The neighborhood participation process must include a governance structure whereby
the local government shares decision making authority for developing and implementing
the urban infill and redevelopment plan with community-wide representatives. For
example, the local government and community representatives could organize a
corporation under s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to implement specific
redevelopment projects.
• The governance structure of the SMCRA requires that the Agency share decision -
making authority with community -wide representatives. Two members of the seven
member SMCRA Board must be residents of the SMCRA Area, and two members of
the five member SMCRA Advisory Board must be residents of the SMCRA Area.
(3) A local government seeking to designate a geographic area within its jurisdiction as an
urban infill and redevelopment area shall prepare a plan that describes the infill and
redevelopment objectives of the local government within the proposed area. In lieu of
preparing a new plan, the local government may demonstrate that an existing plan or
combination of plans associated with a community redevelopment area, Florida Main
Street program, Front Porch Florida Community, sustainable community, enterprise
zone, or neighborhood improvement district includes the factors listed in paragraphs (a)-
(n), including a collaborative and holistic community participation process, or amend
such existing plans to include these factors. The plan shall demonstrate the local
government and community's commitment to comprehensively address the urban
problems within the urban infill and redevelopment area and identify activities and
programs to accomplish locally identified goals such as code enforcement; improved
educational opportunities; reduction in crime; neighborhood revitalization and
preservation; provision of infrastructure needs, including mass transit and multimodal
linkages; and mixed -use planning to promote multifunctional redevelopment to improve
both the residential and commercial quality of life in the area. The plan shall also:
• As previously mentioned, the City of South Miami approved and created the South
Miami Community Redevelopment Plan (SMCRP). The SMCRP describes the infill
and redevelopment objectives of the SMCRA within the Redevelopment Area and
includes the factors listed in the below paragraphs (a) -(n), including a collaborative
and holistic community participation process. The SMCRP demonstrates the City,
community and SMCRA's commitment to comprehensively addressing the urban
problems within the Redevelopment Area and specifically outlines activities and
programs to accomplish locally identified goals.
(a) Contain a map depicting the geographic area or areas to be included within the
designation.
•
(3)
The SMCRP contains several maps depicting the geographic area or areas of the
SMCRA Redevelopment Area and proposed Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
Additionally, this comprehensive plan amendment proposes to revise the existing
Figure 1.8 to demonstrate the boundaries of the SMCRA Redevelopment Area and
the South Miami Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
(b) Confirm that the Infill and redevelopment area is within an area designated for urban
uses in the local government's comprehensive plan.
• The SMCRP contains urban uses as demonstrated in the excerpt of the City of South
Miami's Future Land Use Map located on page 1 C of the SMCRP.
(c) Identify and map existing enterprise zones, community redevelopment areas, community
development corporations, brownfield areas, downtown redevelopment districts, safe
neighborhood improvement districts, historic preservation districts, and empowerment
zones or enterprise communities located within the area proposed for designation as an
urban Infill and redevelopment area and provide a framework for coordinating Infill and
redevelopment programs within the urban core.
• The SMCRA Redevelopment Area and proposed Urban Infill and Redevelopment
Area share the same boundaries, programs and projects.
(d) Identify a memorandum of understanding between the district school board and the local
government jurisdiction regarding public school facilities located within the urban Infill
and redevelopment area to identify how the school board will provide priority to
enhancing public school facilities and programs in the designated area, including the
reuse of existing buildings for schools within the area.
• The SMCRA is working towards solidifying its relationship with the Miami -Dade
School Board. The City of South Miami also has an Education Advisory Board
which is working with the Miami -Dade School Board. The SMCRP calls for a
collaborative process for enhancing the one school located with the SMCRA
Redevelopment Area/proposed Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area.
(e) Identify each neighborhood within the proposed area and state community preservation
and revitalization goals and projects identified through a collaborative and holistic
community participation process and how such projects will be implemented.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, pages 23 -27.
(fl Identify how the local government and community-based organizations intend to
implement affordable housing programs, including, but not limited to, economic and
community development programs administered by federal and state agencies, within the
urban Infill and redevelopment area
• Outlined in the SMCRP, pages 23 -37 and 34 -35.
(g) Identify strategies for reducing crime.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, page 44.
(4)
(h) If applicable, provide guidelines for the adoption of land development regulations
specific to the urban infrll and redevelopment area which include, for example, setbacks
and parking requirements appropriate to urban development.
• Not applicable because guidelines were already adopted as part of the Transit -
Oriented Development District and Mixed -Use land use categories and zoning
districts.
(i) Identify and map any existing transportation concurrency exception areas and any
relevant public transportation corridors designated by a metropolitan planning
organization in its long -range transportation plans or by the local government in its
comprehensive plan for which the local government seeks designation as a transportation
concurrency exception area. For those areas, describe how public transportation,
pedestrian ways, and bikeways will be implemented as an alternative to increased
automobile use.
• A transportation concurrency area was previously approved as part of the City of
South Miami's Redevelopment and Infill District, which is exhibited in the
Comprehensive Plan (Figure 1.10) and attached as Exhibit "8'.
(j) Identify and adopt a package of financial and local government incentives which the
local government will offer for new development, expansion of existing development, and
redevelopment within the urban infrll and redevelopment area. Examples of such
incentives include:
1. Waiver of license and permit fees.
2. Exemption of sales made in the urban infrll and redevelopment area from local option
sales surtaxes imposed pursuant to 1s. 212.054.
3. Waiver of delinquent local taxes or fees to promote the return of property to
productive use.
4. Expedited permitting.
5. Lower transportation impact fees for development which encourages more use of
public transit, pedestrian, and bicycle modes of transportation.
6 Prioritization of infrastructure spending within the urban infrll and redevelopment
area.
7. Local government absorption of developers' concurrency costs.
• A package of financial and local government incentives are available as described in
the SMCRP, pages 23 -44.
(k) Identify how activities and incentives within the urban infrll and redevelopment area will
be coordinated and what administrative mechanism the local government will use for the
coordination.
• Activities and incentives are coordinated through the SMCRA administration as
appropriate per the policy recommendations of the SMCRA Advisory Board and
policy decisions of the SMCRA Board.
(5)
(1) Identify how partnerships with the financial and business community will be developed.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, pages 23 -44.
(m) Identify the governance structure that the local government will use to involve community
representatives in the implementation of the plan.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, SMCRA Board and SMCRA Advisory Board by -laws. The
by -laws are attached as Exhibit "9A" and "9B ".
(n) Identify performance measures to evaluate the success of the local government in
implementing the urban Infill and redevelopment plan.
• Outlined in the SMCRP, pages 17 -27.
The above analysis explicitly evidences that the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area
and the South Miami Community Redevelopment Plan fulfill the criteria necessary for the
designation of the subject area as an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area. The benefit for such
designation is equally clear.
As an Urban Infill and Redevelopment Area, the SMCRA would receive the following benefits:
1) elevated priority in infrastructure funding, loan and grant programs administered by State
agencies such as the Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of
Community Affairs and the Department of Transportation;
2) priority in the allocation of private activity bonds from the state pool; and
3) eligibility to apply for an implementation grant in an amount of up to $300,000.
These benefits are significant, serve to fulfill the SMCRA's goal of leveraging its TIF dollars and
would not result in any substantial, if any, negative impacts to the SMCRA or City of South Miami

City Manager Permit Fees
REQUEST
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA RELATING TO THE
PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE; AMENDING ORDINANCE 14 -90 -1454 AS
AMENDED BY ORDINANCES 6 -92 -1501, 17- 92- 1512A, 10 -95 -1583,
AND 18 -99 -1692, INCREASING SOME PERMIT FEES, ADDING NEW
FEES, REPLACING LAND USE APPLICATION FEES AND
DELETING SECTION F -12 FROM THE SCHEDULE, PROVIDING
FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City periodically reviews its fee schedules in order to determine if appropriate rates are
being charged for City services. The City also has recently hired consultants to perform an audit
of the permitting process as it goes through the Planning and Building Departments. The
consultants have completed their study and made several recommendations to the City, including
the hiring of additional personnel to make the process more efficient and user friendly.
The group interviewed by the consultants was representative of the process users and included a
cross section of large developers, small contractors and owner builders who are presently or have
recently been involved in the process.
As part of this audit the consultants spent several hours interviewing the users of the process and
exploring their views for the improvement of the permitting process. Together they identified the
areas that need improvement and developed a strategy to implement those improvements. The
consultants pointed out that the improvements would require funding and the group agreed that
they would be happy to pay higher permit fees in exchange for a better and faster process.
This ordinance includes the higher fees that will allow the implementation of the plan while
excluding homeowners from the fee increases. Minimum permit fees and fees for new
construction have been broken down into two categories; commercial and residential in order to
accomplish this. The new features will bring the permit fees closer to actual costs incurred by the
City without penalizing taxpayers.
The proposed Schedule increases fees to a scale that is comparable to fees at other municipalities
and the County, although still lower than most Cities. The new County fee schedule includes
minimum fees that range from $113.35 to $203.80 and Key Biscayne has increased minimum
fees to $125 while we are proposing a $100 minimum fee for commercial development. .
This Ordinance replaces items 1 through 12 of the Land Use Application Fees, which had
previously been deleted for future clarification. These items have been replaced without any
changes to the fee structure. It also includes a more reasonable fee for shop drawing review and
deletes section F -12, free permits for work under $1,000 which has proven to be very profitable
for contractors and not helpful to home owners as it was intended to be.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval is recommended.
