Chairmans Policy Council 9/12/2018 1G1 AMENDED Forwarded to BCC with a favorable recommendation with committee amendments following public hearing P
REPORT: The title of the foregoing proposed resolution was read into the record by Assistant County Attorney Bruce Libhaber. Dennis Kerbel Assistant County Attorney advised and read the Committee the added stipulation of the foregoing proposed resolution. The amendment added a new Section 4, entitled Applicability. Commissioner Edmonson requested the bifurcation of Model City Urban Center until someone goes out and speak to residents of Brownsville Homeowners’ Association regarding their concerns. Chairman Bovo, Jr. opened the floor for a reasonable opportunity for the public to be heard and the public hearing as it related to proposed Agenda Item 1G1. Jeff Bercow, 200 South Biscayne Boulevard Miami, Florida, spoke in support of the Applicability Clause. He identified the need to intensify to support the Smart Plan but noted the changes would force the project to meet the Minimum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and posed a challenge for the core and center districts along the bus way of Urban Centers. Mr. Bercow explained what developers would evaluate for feasible construction. He displayed graphed examples of FAR minimums for Garden Style Apartments projected for construction along the bus way. He stated a forced FAR minimum of 1.5 (in the core) and 1.0 (in the center) would freeze the construction market for Model City Urban Center. Mr. Bercow claimed for the Urban Centers to thrive, preserve the Miami-Dade Code but change the Comprehensive Plan to include FAR minimums versus FAR averages which would allow market flexibility to compensate for intensified densities and heights if needed. Kenneth Kilpatrick with Brownsville Neighborhood Association address, 5167 NW 29th Avenue Miami, Florida; thanked Commissioner Edmonson and the Committee for the bifurcation. Gwendolyn Johnson address, 3117 NW 52nd Street Miami, Florida; thanked Commissioner Edmonson. Betty Galome address, 3208 NW 52nd Street Miami, Florida; thanked Commissioner Edmonson and the Committee for their consideration of the zoning issue of their neighborhood. Commissioner Edmonson requested for the department to arrange a meeting with the Brownville Home Owners Association. In addition, she requested for the appropriate personnel to be present to answer tax questions. After no one else appeared wishing to speak in reference to Agenda Item 1G1, Chairman Bovo closed the public hearing to this item. Chairman Bovo, Jr. reiterated the Applicability Clause as it pertained to density standards along corridors and what was required to attain Ridership to achieve the Smart Plan goal. He stated this plan impacts all areas of Dade County and for constituents to participate to make the plan reasonable. Commissioner Moss requested for his district to have more mini Dadeland Malls to obtain more densities along the corridor. Commissioner Sosa expressed a contrasting point of view. She indicated too much development could have a negative impact on residential quality of life; not enough parking, inflated rental fees, and empty buildings. She noted the residents in her commission district opposed large buildings in their community. Nathan Kogon from Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, Development Services responds to Commissioner Sosa’s concerns regarding residential quality of life, stated the Urban Centers would not enter into her district; that development will only take place at high intensity nodes at existing transit stations; the use of transit would be encouraged; parking space standards will remain the same but could expand with increased development. Chairman Bovo, Jr. added a friendly amendment at the request of Commissioner Sosa for an analysis to be done regarding corridors close to residential areas to ensure residential quality of life was not disrupted before the proposed resolution was heard before the full Board of County Commissioners. Commissioner Monestime asked Mr. Bercow to explain how floor area ratio ( FAR) standards affect density. Mr. Bercow explained the Miami-Dade County Code offered another solution if the FAR minimums are not met. He stated if the FAR minimums cannot be met you can satisfy the height or density range; resulting in smaller square footage with higher floor levels. Mr. Bercow provided an example of an apartment built on 1.5 acres of land would require six to seven stories with at least two levels of parking: would make the project more expensive; and the tenants would not be able to afford the rent. He stated you can either satisfy the new density or height range to meet the minimum FAR. Mr. Bercow stated Urban Plans FAR minimums can be waived administratively without going to public hearing. Nathan Kogon addressed Commissioner Monestime’s questions and concerns to explain in detail the core decimal ranges from the edges to the transit station, the minimum FAR density standards (0.5 - 1.5) for the Urban Centers, and the previous core maintains the standards but will allow increased flooring. He clarified the center was the core, the edges are near established neighborhoods, and intensities are decreased near homes. Commissioner Monestime asked Mr. Kogon to preserve residential life style and if they could exclude development near the edge and develop more in the core or immediate corridor. Mr. Kogon explained different districts required different FAR standards based upon how the area was designed. The north area doesn’t have much edge. The South, corridor along the Urban Center area have more edge with an exception of single family homes, and the ordinance mandated a clause for single family homes not to get touched. Commissioner Monestime noted the Housing Department concerns from last week’s meeting; they wanted more development along transit corridors and the attainment of affordable housing. He requested to be added as a Co-Sponsor for this item. Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel addressed Commissioner Edmonson’s concern if there would be additional tax impacts on existing special tax districts. He stated there will be no tax impact and the change was applied to zoning regulations to increase the density for increased generation of revenue with in the Tiff Districts. Leonardo Ambert, 7545 SW 108th Terrace Miami, Florida, agreed with Commissioner Moss and provided the Committee his view of what market components should be taken into consideration for feasible construction. Mr. Ambert stated to understand the zoning goal density for transit development needed to increase. He provided his opinion on the current market trend of land owners holding property to sale at double price to developers; resulted in the sale outweighing the cost to build. Mr. Ambert noted increased heights or density would not incentivize construction; further, if tenants could not afford the rent, the project would not be profitable for developers. In response to Commissioner Moss inquiry regarding parking the main issue was to build parking lots/buildings, Mr. Ambert replied, cost was a factor and could stall a project. He stated the cost of rent would not cover the cost of parking. Commissioner Moss reiterated he wanted many mini Dadeland Malls in his district. Commissioner Monestime revisited the FAR standards to inquiry was there a need for more parking spaces or reduce the size of land the developers need to encourage transit use. Mr. Kogon stated the standards are reduced for certain areas that lack the required market standards due to lack of infrastructure. He stated the zoning requirements can be adjusted to compliment the transit market needs as transit development progressed, thus making adjustments of FAR minimum intensities to meet the parking/market standards; noting the gap was very minimum. Commissioner Sosa recapitulated her prior concern to keep residential areas intact and emphasized people will opt to drive their own vehicles over taking public transit but to give people alternatives. In response to Commissioner Souto’s question regarding what was the current United States trend on transportation in the big cities, Mr. Kogon stated Urban Sprawl (lower density and spreading things further out) generated more traffic. He noted the trend was to look at node development, intensify around transit; development at the right place with the right density will promote transportation, will support Ad Valorem Tax, and eliminate extra trips. Chairman Bovo, Jr. stated we have to rethink how we approach transit plans and many people complained about traffic but if we give them more alternatives maybe they would not drive their cars. Commissioner Souto remarked of a prior study that derived from his office budget of how Dadeland emerged. Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel recapped at the administrative site plan review they will analyze development impacts to single family residential homes and to include the appropriate language in this ordinance to preserve those homes and areas. Upon a roll call vote, the Committee proceeded to vote that the foregoing proposed ordinance be forwarded to the BCC with a favorable recommendation with committee amendments.

and Members, Board of County Commissioners

From: Carlos A. Gimenez
Mayor

Subject: Update to the Standard Urban Center District Regulations Update
Addressing Densities and Intensities Allowed in Accordance with
the Comprehensive Development Master Plan

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
This item was amended at the September 12, 2018 Chairman�s Policy Council meeting to (1) exclude the Model City Urban Center District, (2) provide for compatibility with residential single family areas, and (3) clarify standing on ongoing applications.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopt the attached ordinance updating the County�s Standard Urban Center District Regulations (SUCO) in order to establish a section addressing the densities and heights allowed in the individual urban center or urban area districts in accordance with the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). The ordinance also deletes the density and heights regulating plans of the individual urban centers as the new SUCO section is to address those for ease and convenience.

Scope
Urban Center and Urban Area Districts in unincorporated Miami-Dade County.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
Approval of this item is not anticipated to create a fiscal impact to the County as the proposed expansion of the proposed update will not require additional staffing resources nor generate additional operational expenses.

Social Equity
The proposed ordinance furthers the County�s policy of enabling more density and mix of uses within the CDMP-designated urban centers and urban area districts and along the County�s Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) corridors. In addition to being transit-supportive, the additional densities and intensities are designed to encourage the efficient use of resources and infrastructure as well as housing options for our residents.

Track Record/Monitor
Nathan Kogon, Assistant Director, Development Services Division, Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources.

Background
The Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) calls for a more compact and efficient urban form, consisting of mixed-use, vertical growth, urban centers and mixed-use corridors along rapid transit corridors and major roadways. Implementation of this policy began in 1999 with the establishment of the Downtown Kendall Urban Center Districts in the Dadeland area and it has been ongoing since then. In 2012 the Board of County Commissioners adopted revisions to the CDMP policies and text aimed at, among other things, establishing transit-supportive densities for County�s urban centers and mixed-use corridors. Since most of the urban centers and urban area districts were established prior to said CDMP updates, the maximum allowed densities in most of these districts are below that authorized by the CDMP. This ordinance increases the densities in the applicable urban center and urban area districts to meet the requirements of the CDMP,
establishes the density, intensity, and building height standards applicable to each urban center and urban area district, and repeals previously approved density and building heights regulating plans accordingly.
