SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE FOR
DISCUSSION CONCERNING FUTURE USE OF THE WEST LOTS.
RECOMMENDATION
ft is recomrnended to refer this item to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee for discussion
of the future use of the West Lots.
ANALYSIS
BACKGROUND
The City-owned property known as the "West Lots" consists of 8 city blocks of land located on
the West side of Collins Avenue, directly across the street from North Shore Open Space Park.
Each of the 8 blocks measures 175 feet by 300 feet or 1 .2 acres. Four of the blocks are
ddveloped as off-street parking lots (total307 spaces), two blocks are vacant land, one block is
used for a temporary Ocean Rescue headquarters, and one block is cunently being utilized by
the Parking Department on a temporary basis.
It is believed that development of these lots has potential to add additional recreational/civic
opportunities for the neighborhood, add retail and dining opportunities to the area, increase
parking capacity for the immediate area as well as for a soon-to-be-improved North Shore Open
Space Park, and provide lease payments and property taxes that would assist in providing for
other area and City-wide needs. The land that cunently encompasses the West Lots as well as
North Shore Open Space Park was assembled by the City of Miami Beach over a period of time
spanning three decades between the 1950's and 1980's. ln 1989, the City deeded all of the
West Lots and North Shore Open Space Park to the State of Florida with a deed restriction "that
the above described property shall be used and maintained for public recreational purposes for
which it was conveyed in perpetuity." ln November 2000, the State of Florida deeded the land
back to the City of Miami Beach without any specific language about the use of the land.
AMLYSIS
THE NORTH BEACH MASTER PLAN
During public input sessions held during the creation of the Plan NoBe - North Beach Master
Plan, the public expressed a number of suggestions for the use of these properties.
Suggestions included leaving the properties "as is;" creating a public park space; selling the
properties for development; and several other options. Two potential scenarios were included
in the final plan: 1) Mid-rise and residential development on four of the eight lots to be
considered for public/private partnerships, with the remaining four lots to remain available for

civic uses; 2) Primarily public uses such as a hotel, various active public uses, civic space, and
parking structures. While both scenarios were included in the adopted plan, it was the general
consensus that scenario one (1) was a good compromise.
ln scenario one (1), it was contemplated that the four public/private lots could include the
development such as mixed use buildings with retail and residential uses or potentially, a hotel
facility, The plan further recommends that these lots not be sold, but that the land be leased to
private entities for these purposes (the City Charter requires any such lease of more than 10
years will require a citywide referendum). The recommendations for the remaining four civic-
use lots included the placement of parking structures (possibly with ground floor retail or other
civic related offices or uses) on two of the four lots as parking remains necessary for other uses
on the lots and for users of the North Shore Open Space Park directly across Collins Avenue.
Uses for the other lots included more direct public uses such as a teen center or active uses
such as a swimming pool or soccer fields.
Scenario two (2) included lirnited public/private development of a hotelwith the remainder of the
lots to include various civic uses such as a pool, community gardens, all-wheels skate track, and
a teen center. This scenario was not the compromise as the Steerirg Committee recognized
that significant resources would be required to maintain all of these uses while uses in Scenario
one (1) had potential to be paid for/builUmaintained by the private parties utilizing non-civic land.
Certainly other possibilities can be reviewed, however, if development of the lots is desired,
there are a number items that must be contemplated in advance. The City would need to
determine if all the lots should be developed together or if a single lot or groups of lots should
be released. lt could couple development of a private lot with development of a civic lot by the
private developer. A determination would also need to be made as to whether the City wants to
specifically proscribe what can be built on the lots or request broad responses from the
development community as to what the market might best absorb.
CONCLUSION
It is believed that development of these lots has potential to add to the area additional
recreational/civic opportunities as well as retail and dining opportunities. Development can also
increase parking capacity for the immediate area as well as for a soon-to-be-improved North
Shore Open Space Park, and provide lease payments and property taxes that would assist in
providing for other area and Cihyrruide needs. Discussion by the Neighborhood/Community
Affairs Committee is suggested in order to begin to frame the conversation and ultimate
direction.

West Lots
The West Lots consist of eight half blocks fronting Collins
Avenue across from North Shore Open Space Park,
from 79'! Street to 87'h Street. These blocks provide
parking for North Shore Open Space Park and the beach
beyond. The West Lots are large enough to accommodate
parking, as well as additional uses that are desired by the
community. They have the potential to provide parking,
open space and buiidable area. The Lots provide tne
largest continuous civic/commercial oceanfront adjacent
development opportunity in the Crty
The West Lots present a wonderful opportunity to spatialiy
shape a robust edge to the North Shore Open Space
Park. Tnese sites boast valuacle addresses that couid
accommodate a broad range of potential uses. ln places
where buildings front the sidewalk, raised terraces could
accommodate further outdoor dining while gracefully
helping to satisil building flood elevation requirements.
New buildings, if carefully designed, can seamlessly
complement the City's lvliMo architectural heritage.
Emphasis should be placed on slender, deeply cantilevered
eyebrows, and sleekly streamlined detailing. Colors of
new buildings should be light or white to reflect the hot
South Florida sun and reduce heat island effect.
ln the illustration below, Collins Avenue is shown
reconfigured within the right-of-way to accommodate
two-way travel as discussed in the Mobility section. On
the side of the street adjacent to the North Shore Open
Space Park, a northbound dedicated bus-bike lane is
included, which would make this an important segment
in the future multi-modal transportation network in
Miami Beach. On the side of the street away from the
park, on-street parking and regularly spaced shade trees
are shown protecting wide sidewalks. Shade could be
further augmenied by closely-spaced umbrellas in areas
with sidewa)k dining.
The City should take the time tc carefully define an
identity for the West Lots with the community, as
it further defines the rest of North Beach to ensure
redevelopment of these lots is in conformance with that
vision. The City should not rush to develop these lots.
The West Lots are zoned General Use and are separated
from the Rrtrl-1 neighborhood district to the west by
an alley. These parcels are of a relatively consistent
size of approximately 175 feet by 300 feet. The lots
are currently a mix of undeveloped open blocks, public
surface parking lots, Ocean Rescue operations, and the
log cabin site that includes a mix of other city uses.

As consensus on aporopriate development opportunities
emerges, a single block or set of blocks could be Ceveloped,
rarhile the other blocks remain unchanged if consensus for
a larger strategy for all eight parcels is not identified.
The answer to what the West Lots should be is not an
all or nothing question. At the Charrette, the community
developed a collective list of how they might like to see
the lVest Lots utilized. The list consists of the following:
. Library. Skate Park (All lVheels Pump Track). Fitness Complex
n 50 Meter Competition Swimming Pooi
" Boutique Hotel. Commercial Uses (Storefronts)
. Residentia I
. Restaurants/Cafe. parking
. Grocery Store. Education tied to a University
' Nature Conservancy & Botanical Gardens. Hold for Future Use. Recreate the House of Refuge. Preserve the Log Cabin. Community Gardens
NCAC # 10
Some of the uses proposed for West Lots and described in greater detail below could be located within the West Lots
while others may be more appropriately located closer to the Town Center, along 7L't Street. At the same time, many of
the desired uses can be accommodated on a portion of a block, a single block, or as two blocks combined.
lmmediole lmprovemenls
The lVest Lots a re likely to be developed as part of a specific
rnaster plan, however, in the short-term improvements
could be made to improve the visitor experience
including refreshment sales from the Log Cabin structure
between 8Lst and 82nd streets, the dedication of an
area for a teen center, and the installation of temporary
community gardens. lmprovements to the lot's current
parking function could include additional landscaping,
repaving, restriping, and cosmetic improvements.
Porking Goroge & Sidewolk Csfes
The West Lots currently contain 327 parking spaces. lf
development occurs, these spaces can be preserved in
addition to accomrnodating parking for any new uses, if
additional parking is required. One method for achieving
this involves creating a parking garage that is lined,
at least on the ground level, with commercial space,
including cafes. The garage could be a city garage where
commercial space is leased or it could be developed as a
public-private partnership.
lnstitutionol Use
Several institutional uses were mentioned as desirable
for the site including an educational facility (preferably
tied to a university), medical uses, and a teen center. This
type of use could develop on an entire block, or a portion
of a block. Depending on the size of the facility, it could
accommodate parking on the same block or could be next
to a new parking garage on an adjacent lot.
It is worth noting that the institutional uses identified
may be better located elsewhere in North Beach such as
adjacent to the Youth Center or in the Town Center on
7l-'i Street.
Boulique Hotel
Half of a block or an entire block can be used to develop a
hotel. A height of up to seven stories could be considered
an appropriate height to be able to develop an adequate
number of units and include a parking structure within a
three story podium.
It has been suggested that if some blocks have more
height, then they should be located further toward the
northern edge of the City, closer to the taller buildings
that have been developed in Surfside.

Resideniiol Use - 3 Stories
Another idea that was expressed for the future of the
West Lots is that the lots should be developed at the
same scale as the RM-l- neighborhood to their immediate
vvest. One option with this scenario involves lots that
are developed with fee-simple, park-under townhomes.
Condo buildings that match the existing buildings with
parking accommodated in small mid block lots would also
work well in this scenario. This development scenario
would privatize the lots, but they would be of a similar
scaie as the surrounding community.
Fifty Meter Competiiion Pool
During the North Beach Charrette, members of the
community requested that the West Lots accommodate a
pool that can be used by the community and supplement
its maintenance by also being a competition pool. A
fifty meter pool, viewing stands and dive pool fit on a
single block. Offices, locker rooms, and snack bars can
be located under the stands. This pool can be combined
with other blocks and could be used to form a larger
fitness complex. fhe pool illustrated here is just an
example of what could be sited here.
Mid-Rise Condo
Half of a block or an entire block can be used to create
a mid-rise condominium building. The ground floor of
these structures couid be dedicated to neighborhood
serving retails space.
A height of up to seven stories could be considered an
adequate height to develop an appropriate number of
units and include a parking structure within a three-story
podium. Alternatively, parking could be located close
by,on one of the adjacent lots.
Preserve Lols
Perhaps the least controversial use for the West Lots is
for the City to continue to hold the lots as they are in
order to have them available for future unknown needs.
Although this is an option, planning for the future use of
the lots is important as both public and private entities
are considering the future use of the sites. The City
should develop a community-supported vision for the
West Lots before an outside proposal pressures the City
in some other manner,

Putting lt All Together
The future composition of the West Lots can take
on numerous forms. The following are two potential
scenarios for a mix of development.
SCENARIO 1: MID-RISE HOTET & RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT
Developing the lots with mid-rise buildings (primarily
seven-story towers on a three story podium with parking,
either in the form of boutique hoieis or residential
buildings), has the poteniial of raising tax revenue for the
area. This revenue can be used to preserve the historic
assets in the RM-1 neighborhood to help fund sea level
rise mitigation efforts, or for other priorities yet to be
determined by the City and the citizens.
This scenario has four blocks used for public use and four
blocks that utilize public-private partnerships.

SCENARIO 2: PRIMARILY PUBLIC USES
The West Lots could host a number of civic uses.
Although North Shore Open Space Park is located across
Collins Avenue from the West Lots, it serves primarily
passive uses. The West Lots could be used for more
active recreation and structured parking uses.
Although not illustrated, one of the east-west streets
could potentially be closed to create a pedestrian-
dominant space. As illustrated, the blocks can also
remain separate, which greatiy enhances connectivity
throughout this portion of the beach.
Even with the ma.iority of the lots being utilized for
the public good, there is still an opportunity for the
remaining blocks to accommodate other desired uses,
such as a hotel. Private development or a public-private
partnership could help fund the development of the lots
other blocks that have a primarily civic use.
This scenario includes six blocks allocated for public
use and two blocks that would utilize public-private
pa rtne rshi ps.

COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM
To: Neighborhood/Community Affairs
FRoM: Jimmy L. Morales, CitY Manager
DATE: April2l ,2017
SUBJECT: Discussion Regarding Tenant Affecting Workforce Housing Projects.
At its Janu ary 25,2017 Workforce/Atfordable Housing Workshop, the City Commission held a
broad discusiion regarding policies impacting workforce housing projects that will be pursued via
the public/private pirtnerJnip development model. One of the issues referred for Committee
discussion' was ihe creation of broad tenant policies. This task was referred to the
Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee for input and discussion. The item was originally on
the March 17 ,2017 agenda but was not reached.
BACKGROUND
As the City pursues P3 projects that produce workforce housing, the Concourse Group, the City's
p3 consultant, will be seeking guidance on various policy issues that will affect the issuance of
Requests For proposals (RFP) for various sites including the Barclay Plaza Apartments and the
artist housing project at Collins Park. Among the policy issues that are needed is the body of tenant
policies tnatilitt influence who will reside within these projects. While the Commission will express
greater specificity about the target populations for each site, tenant policies more broadly speak to
the expectations that tenants will have as residents of these developments.
Below, please find a list of tenant policy issues recommended by the Administration to serve as the
foundaiion for all p3 residential, workforce housing projects. These broad issues should apply
equally to all sites and all tenants and would be included in the RFP specifications released for
each site being developed by the City.
Tenant lncome
Wnire, tne commission has already provided specific direction regarding income for the Barclay
plazaApartments, it may choose to adjust income ranges for projects to better represent the actual
income levels of the intended residenis for each site. For instance, artist housing at Collins Park
would most likely be considerably below the 140 percent Area Median lncome (AMl) maximum
income level selected for the Barclay PlazaApartments as artist income typically falls below 100o/o
AMl. However, the broader tenani income questions are tied to universal concerns such as
subsequent changes in household income and termination of employment.
The Administration recommends two policy guidelines regarding tenant income:
1. lf a tenant's income grows beyond the initial maximum threshold for the project and the
tenant otherwise meets tenant eligibility (i.e. industry employed or employmentwithin the
City), the Administration recommends allowing the tenant to remain in the unit with the
neiiOitity for the project manager to adjust the charged rent to Market Rent' This policy

parameter incentivizes the developer to retain tenants as their income grows while allowing
tenants to remain in place and grow deeper roots to our community.
Z. As inflation influences income, the Administration recommends that the income thresholds
be adjusted annually to reflect evolving AMI levels.
Tenant Emplovment
ffinhasalreadyspecifiedemploymentindustriesfortheBarclayPlaza
Apartments (public safety, education and municipalworkers) and Collins Park (artists, publicsafety,
educators and municipal employees) sites, the possibility exists that tenants may change
employment and industry during their tenancy. The Administration recommends the following
policies with regarding to tenant employment:
1. The Administration recommends that tenants have an employment tenure of at least two
years within a qualifying industry in the City, i.e. be employed as a City employee for at least
two years prior to tenancY.
Z. lf a tenant changes employment industry during his/her tenancy, the Administration
recommends tnaihis/hertenancy continue if he/she remains employed in the City and
maintains income eligibilitY.
3. lf a tenant is no longer employed within the City, it is recommended that his/her tenancy be
terminated at the enO of his/her existing lease no more than six (6) months after employee's
termination.
4. For those development projects seeking to serve specific employment profiles, i.e', artists,
a clear definition of workforce eligibility will be provided.
lnitial and Annual Tenant Certification
ethosewhoareemployedintheCitywithintargeted
industries, the Administration recommends that tenants be certified at the time of initial application
and recertified annually at the time of lease renewal to determine eligibility for their respective
housing development.
Tenant MarketinqF;-ch de"elopment may target specific employment profiles, it is recommended that marketing
efforts be adjusied accordingty. For example, the Barclay PlazaApartments marketing campaign
would target educators, publicsafety and municipal employees working within the City and earning
up to 1ag-percentAMl through outreach including newsletters, emailcampaigns and targeted focus
group meetings for these sub-groups.
Tenant Prioritization
ffirdableHousingWorkshop,CommissionerKristenRosenGonzalez
suggested that a preference be provided to eligible tenants who can demonstrate a connection to
tnj-community, i.e. attended iocal schools or with relatives who live within the City. The
Administration would seek directions as to how such preference should be applied in addition to the
income and other qualifiers that are established for each development.
CONCLUSION
The Administration requests direction on these tenant policy areas so that Concourse Group can
begin its etforts to conduct analysis on project feasibility for the Barclay Plaza and Collins Park
projects.

Samples of Policies from Other Jurisdictions
Most jurisdictions offering workforce housing have rules or policies that are limited to income and tenant eligibility.
With the exception of Teton County, Wyoming, most of the tenant policies adopted by communities mirror the policies
of their HUD-subsidized properties, i.e. general tenant rules and property guidelines that include smoking, illicit
behavior, etc. tt should be noted that most communities cap their workforce housing eligibility to households earning up
to L2OyoAMl with greater financial incentives for housing below 80% AMI (unlike Miami Beach which is seeking to serve
households earning up to 140% AMt). lt is also important to note that homeownership is the vehicle of housing
affordability preferred by many communities such Palm Beach County, Florida and Aspen, Colorado.

ln Teton County, there are a variety of rules embedded for workforce housing tenants including, but not limited to:
1. Rental rates are based on HUD Fair Market Rents which includes basic utilities.
2. Tenant will have a 6-month review of their lease status. Tenant will be notified of their review date 30 days in advance.
3. A S50O.0O damage deposit can either be paid by the tenant at signing of lease or deducted through payroll.
4. eualifying applicants need to provide proof of Renter's lnsurance prior to signing of the annual lease'
5. Pets are not allowed on the premises.
6. All units are designated as non-smoking units.
7. Subletting is not allowed.
8. Overnight guests are limited to a six-day maximum stay.
9. Annual Lease dates run from date of signed lease. Rent is due on the first of leased date month' Tenants employed by Teton
county will have the rent deducted from their paycheck all other tenants will pay the rent directly to Jackson Teton county
Affordable Housing.
10. lf Tenant whose employment terminates voluntarily, and there is demand for the unit by County employees, the tenant will be
given notice to vacate in 30 days. lf the tenant is an employee who terminates voluntarily and there is no demand for the unit by
county employees, the tenant may stay through the term of the lease. lf the tenant is an employee whose employment terminates
involuntarily, the employee will be required to vacate immediately'
Aspen
Aspen was one of the leaders in the modern era workforce housing movement. Today, the approximately 2,900 units
owned and managed by the Aspen break down to about 40 percent rental and 60 percent ownership. The longer you
work in the jurisdiction, the better your chances of winning a lottery to rent or buy a unit. The assisted ownership
properties can only be sold to income-eligible buyers, i.e. a condo valued at S1,OO0,OO0 in the open market is capped for
sale at S17O,OOO. These caps serve to disincentivize those who have purchased affordable homes from selling even when
they have left the workforce. Aspen does not prioritize its housing by employment industry as proposed in our City.
Nashville, Tennessee
A 1g7S Tennessee law already requires tenants to comply with maintenance and conduct standards and refrain from illegal conduct.
The new rental agreement clause repeats the provision in the state law that says tenants are not to take part in illegal activity,
deliberately or negligently deface property or act in a way that disturbs neighbors. lf a tenant fails to comply with these restrictions,
the landlord would be required to take "all steps reasonably necessary" to protect other tenants.
Hawaii
Hawaii offers rental and homeownership assistance for households earning up to 140% AMI but offers a significant incentive for
developers: a floor area bonus of one hundred per cent, provided that such bonus floor area shall be used towards the construction
of workforce housing projeA(s) only. They also establish maximum unit sizes:

Two bedroom with two bathrooms 1,000
For homeownership units, the State reserves the right to first refusal to purchase unit or to designate the buyer of the unit. The
State also limits the subsequent sale price:
(c) The purchase price shall be based on the lower of:
(1) The workforce housing sales price calculated based on the applicable AMI at the time of resale of the unit; or
(2) The original sales price of the workforce housing unit escalated by a corresponding consumer price index factor
from the date of the initial purchase to the date of resale on the unit.
(d) Any subsequent mortgage placed on the workforce housing unit by the owner of the workforce housing unit
shall not exceed eighty per cent of the original purchase price of the reserved housing unit and shall require
approval by the executive director.

DATE: February 17,2017
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING TH
MUNICIPAL LOGO
apMrN tSTRATION RECOMM E N pATtON
Adopt the resolution.
CITY OF MI.AMI BEACH BRANDING.
ANALYSIS
ln 2015, the city entered into an agreement with Beanstalk, an internationally top rankedglobal licensing agency, to create a strategic licensing and merchandising program to
enhance the consumer perceptions of Miami Beach as a iifestyle brand and coitinusto grow
tourism to our destination. ln addition, this program will generate external partner revenuestreams with a positive return on investment. To create a successful licensing and
merchandising program, and continue to promote the City as a global tourist destination,
Beanstalk and the Marketing and Communications staff began working on the creation of anew logo.
After several months reviewing various logos, the Communications team narrowed the
search down to three options that were presented at the December 14th Commission
meeting. Per Commission direction, the Communications team consulted with the Arts lnPublic Places committee and conducted an online survey asking the public for theirfeedback on the three finalists. Additionally, the team consulted witn tni Miami Beach
Visitor and convention Authority and the city's trademark attorney.
After extensive discussions, it was determined that the needs for the merchandisino and
licensing logo differ from the needs of the City's municipal logo. At the February 8,h melting,
the Comrnissioners accepted the Communication team's reiommendation to proceed withtwo separate logos. We will continue working with Beanstalk to create a unique andprotectable logo that captures the essence of Miami Beach at retail. Simultaneously, we will
continue fine{uning the existing Miami Beach logo for municipal use. per Commission
direction, we are presenting the municipal logo options to the Neighborhood/Community
Affairs Committee for additional feedback. Attached, please find thl original logo finalisti
along with the new municipal logo options presenting a fresh and modern take 6n the sun
and sail logo.
The incorporation of the new municipal logo will be tiered to ensure the least expenses to
the City. The immediate changes would include electronic letterheads, memorandums, and
all other electronic files, social media, website, and all other digital items where it can be
immediate replaced. The next steps wor.rld include all future printing of signage, business
cards, flyers, postcards and other printed materials. Beyond that the cnanle would be
incorporated on vehicles and all other items where the logo would need to bJreplaced.

Upon final selection of the new merchandising and licensing logo, Beanstalk will then begin
working on a comprehensive style guide and sales materials, which will then lead trc the
officialstartof the licensing and merchandising program forthe City. Possible partnerships
discussed include apparel and accessories, home d6cor, textiles, publishing, consumer
electronic accessories, beach gear and accessories, souvenir and novelty products.
CONCLUSION
The City of Miami Beach is a world-class tourist destination. The licensing and
merchandising program will reinforce the brand recognition and keep Miami Beach top of
mind while generating alternative revenue. The creation of a new logo that includes a
symbol and branding is imperative to the success of this program.

DATE: April 21 ,2017
SU&JECI: DISCUSSION REGARDING CALtf,ING PER REQUEST OF THE
SUNSET ISLAND I AND I! HOiIEOWI{ERS
BACKGROUND
The Transportation Department received complaints regarding speeding vehicles and tafiic
safety issues in the Sunset lslands I and ll neighborhood. Sunset lsiands are locateO to the west
of Alton Road just south of Julia Tuttle Causeway. Sunset lsland I is connected to Alton Road
and other parts of the City through 29n Street. The connection between Sunset lstands I and ll
is provided by Sunset Drive Bridge.
The road network on each island consists of a main perimeter toop encompassing minor roads
in a north and south direc'tion. Traffic circulates through a main perimeter sfreet thit operates ina one-way counter-clockwise direction, Minor north-south streets are bidirec{ional and
conf!fl-e_! by _stop signs at interseclions. The posted speed limit in both lstands is 30 miles per
hour (MPH). cunently, no traffc calming treatment exieis in eilher island.
ANALYSIS
ln response to residents' concems, the Transportation Department engaged a consultant to
collect haffc data in order to determine if traffic calming measures are waranted in Suneet
Islands I and ll. The data collection effort occuned during March 2O1l and consisted of
rveekday 48-hour continuous speed and volume counts. The data was analyzed to determine
vehicular speedland volumes throughout the islands, as well as to identiil aiy safety concems
at intersections. The following results were obtained from the data collection:

NCAC # 40
t'lfiC lvbmonNum: Dlscussbn Regardlng Tnffic Calming fur Request of the Sunst lstad t aN ll HomeowneuAptil2l, 2017Pw ztz
Based on the resutts of the data collection and thresholds established in the City's adopted
2010 Trafiic Calming Manua!, vehicular volumes were found to be within acceptable thresholds
within the study area. Speeds were found to be higher west of the 2gh Street Entrance Bridge
and North Mew Drive but under the posted 30 MPH speed limit. At all other locations, speeOs
ueng found to be vrell below the posted speed limit.
It is worth noting that during the traffic study procegs, neither staff nor the consultant observed
any deficiencies in the condition of the existing traffic control signage or pavement markings
within the islands, or any safety concems at the intersections.
RECOIITENDATION
P!se9_ql the analysis of the data, it is recommended that lowering the posted speed limit trom30 MPH to 25 MPH be considered. Ultimately, Miami-Dade iounty Department of
Transportation and Public Works would need to review the City's analysis and approve the
speed limit reduc'tion. ln addition, if approved by the County, new speed limit sigridge uould
need to be plaoed near the entrance of Sunset lsland I to ensure that the lower .p""0 limit is
visible by drivers entering the community.
CONCLUSION
This item is being presented to the NCAC for discussion.
