Based on the analysis and findings of the attached NCD report as well as the favorable recommendations from the subsequent public hearings and community meetings, the Administration believes that the proposed residential and streetscape improvement parameters prepared for the cohesive, low-scale neighborhood existing along the narrow cui de sac streets of Lincoln Terrace and 16th Street to be worthy of designation. The Administration recommends approving the ordinance adopting the proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District Plan on first reading public hearing.

FEIN NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICT (NCD-1/RM-2)," DESIGNATING SPECIFIC LAND DEVELOPMENT AND STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PARAMETERS FOR A CERTAIN AREA WHICH IS GENERALLY BOUNDED BY THE CENTER LINE OF BAY ROAD TO THE EAST, THE BULKHEAD LINE OF BISCAYNE BAY TO THE WEST, THE NORTHERN LOT LINES OF THE NORTHERN PROPERTIES FRONTING LINCOLN TERRACE TO THE NORTH, AND THE SOUTHERN LOT LINES OF THE SOUTHERN PROPERTIES FRONTING 16th STREET TO THE SOUTH, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN; PROVIDING THAT THE CITY'S ZONING MAP SHALL BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE GILBERT M.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The City Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District Plan on first reading public hearing. BACKGROUND The proposed district is generally bounded by the center line of Bay Road to the east, the bulkhead line of Biscayne Bay to the west, the northern lot lines of the northern properties fronting Lincoln Terrace to the north, and the southern lot lines of the southern properties fronting 16th Street to the south. The process which has transpired relative to the "Gilbert Fein" district has been an unfolding one, involving a working dialog with the Community, City Boards and the City Commission in determining the degree of transformation that may occur within this existing low-scale, bay front, planned unit enclave as a result of its current medium intensity (RM-2) zoning. The outcome necessitated the formalization of a new '''form based"overlay district technique for the City through which current development review and neighborhood planning processes might better address the unique circumstances impacting certain areas of interest within the City. City Commission Memorandum Proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District - First Readina Public Hearina October 19, 2005 Page 2 As thorough clarification of the background, intent and specific content of this district plan, attached is a copy of the proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District Designation Report, District Ordinance and Streetscape Improvement Plan as first presented to the Historic Preservation Board on February 8, 2005, and subsequently reviewed by the City Commission at the May 18, 2005, Preliminary Public Hearing regarding the district. Since then, the administration has diligently taken the NCD plan through the remaining steps of the formal adoption process, first gaining further validation of the plan through a Community workshop held June 23, 2005, and then onto a discussion with the Design Review Board at their July 19, 2005, meeting. Most recently, the Planning Board reviewed the item at an August 23, 2005, public hearing and at both meetings, the plan was favorably endorsed. ANAL YSIS: As described in the executive summary of the NCD report, this residential neighborhood has been of particular community interest due to the high level of uncertainty regarding its potential for redevelopment. In this regard, the purpose of establishing the Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District will be to ensure that future redevelopment within the 16th Street-end and Lincoln Terrace neighborhood enhances the existing residential experience of the narrow cuI de sac streets by embracing the fundamental planning facets of this unique mid-century, planned unit enclave. As enumerated on page 10, of the NCD designation report, new construction projects should strive to achieve the following objectives: 1) Preserve the street scale on both Lincoln Terrace and 16th Street to the greatest extent possible without seriously diminishing the existing property rights. 2) Maintain and enhance the property values of adjacent structures through sympathetic redevelopment scenarios which do not necessitate speculative wholesale demolition. 3) Preserve the sense of meaningful neighborhood space between the existing buildings to the greatest extent possible. 4) Concentrate maximum new building height on the waterfront lots to the south to the greatest extent possible. 5) Create and enhance physical and visual access from Lincoln Terrace and 16th Street to the Biscayne Bay front. 6) Enhance the public rights-of-way for both 16th Street and Lincoln Terrace by facilitating the creation of a high quality landscaped pedestrian friendly neighborhood environment through the formalization of a significant street parking plan that may incorporate a limited amount of private land with the property owner's approval. City Commission Memorandum Proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District - First Readina Public Hearina October 19, 2005 Page 3 In achieving the objectives of this NCD, the effect of the proposed Gilbert M. Fein district designation will be to: 1) Create an illustrative neighborhood master plan to accurately inform and streamline the development review process with regard to neighborhood redevelopment and improvement projects. 2) Modify certain aspects of the existing RM-2 zoning regulations through the NCD overlay to better address the existing conditions. 3) Enact district specific design guidelines to maintain the special close-knit character of the enclave and enhance the overall streetscape character. Selected elements of the form based code for the Gilbert M. Fein NCD include the following: Paae Section 20 3.1 (a)(1) 22 3.3(a)(2) Descri ption Rooftop and other additions may be approved administratively. Lot splits and lot assemblies must respect the original increment of pa rcel ization. 23 3.3(a)(2)b. Primary entrance courtyards facing Lincoln Terrace shall be retained. 23 3.3(b) 24 3.3(c)(1 )a. 27 3.3(c)(3)b. 30 3.5(a)(3)a. Demolition of existing structures is permitted provided the ORB has approved the redevelopment project and a building permit has been issued for the redevelopment. New infill redevelopment shall be constructed to maintain the setbacks of the original two story building footprints and shall be allowed to rise to 60 feet, as identified in the underlying RM-2 zoning district, with the provision that the taller portions of the structure's frontage be further set back in order to maintain the quality of light and air along the view corridors of the narrow street sections. The creation of si~nificant view corridor and public access to Biscayne Bay from both 16t Street and Lincoln Terrace is identified in the Code and the development review order of the ORB relative to the current Capri on the Bay waterfront redevelopment incorporates this element. The existing parking requirement of (1.5) spaces per dwelling unit for new construction may be reduced to (1) space per unit for the smaller redevelopments projects within the NCD through participation in the City Commission Memorandum Proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District - First Readina Public Hearina October 19, 2005 Page 4 Paae Section 33 4.1 34 4.2 37 4.4 Descriotion City's Parking Impact Fee Program. This has been created to increase the economic viability of the new infill projects constructed in accordance with the NCD building setback and frontage requirements. The intent of the Streetscape I mprovement Plan along 16th Street will be to formalize and beautify the existing pattern of parking based on the Dutch model of the Woonerf whereby the public and private outdoor realms are designed as an integrated usable environment. The intent of the Streetscape Improvement Plan along Lincoln Terrace will be to beautify the existing roadway with pavers and lighting and to bring its cross section into Code compliance. Design development, construction and maintenance for the Streetscape Improvement projects has been identified to occur through the exacting of funds from private redevelopment projects within the district and to this end, the development review order of the ORB for the current Capri on the Bay waterfront redevelopment has incorporated this element. Finally, the administration believes that given the densely cohesive urban pattern of the existing original planned unit development, any unmitigated incremental as-of right RM-2 redevelopment, which does not follow a neighborhood plan, will most likely result in tenement-like conditions for the area. In this regard, the administration has prepared several redevelopment scenarios in addition to the report, which should further graphically depict why the tiered methods of the district plan, in comparison to other redevelopment scenarios, are preferred toward effectively conserving the light and air of the neighborhood view corridors as well as some semblance of the consistent two story pattern of the original street experience. CITY COMMISSION ACTION The City Commission held a duly noticed Preliminary Public Hearing in accordance with section 118-705(b), on May 18, 2005, at which the merits of the proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District where evaluated. Following this meeting, the City Commission directed the Planning Department to continue the NCD designation process imposing the interim development review controls relative to building permits and demolition for a period of six months pursuant to section 118-708. PLANNING BOARD ACTION In accordance with sections 118-705(e) and 118-164, the Planning Board heard this matter at a duly noticed public hearing held on August 23, 2005, and voted unanimously (7-0) in favor to recommend the ordinance to the City Commission for adoption. City Commission Memorandum Proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation District - First Readina Public Hearina October 19, 2005 Page 5 FISCAL IMPACT The proposed Gilbert M. Fein Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District Ordinance, (NCD-1/ RM-2) has been developed not to diminish but rather to better refine and clarify the parameters for redevelopment within the existing RM-2 zoning district. Adverse fiscal impact is not contemplated as a result of the adoption of this ordinance. CONCLUSION In accordance with section 118-705(e) of the NCD enabling ordinance, adoption of NCD overlay districts and accompanying regulations shall be by the same procedures as set forth in article III of chapter 118 and because the subject district is less than 10 acres in area, the City Commission may adopt the ordinance by a 5/7ths vote at the first reading public hearing pursuant to section 118-164(1).
