COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
Approval of the City of Miami Beach's Five-Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2003/2004 through
2007/2008.
Issue:
Should the City of Miami Beach Commission adopt the Five-Year Consolidated Plan as required by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for submission to HUD on or before the August 16,
2003 deadline?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan is the City of Miami Beach's long-term plan on how it intends to use
formula federal grant funds (CDBG, HOME, ESG) for fiscal years 2003/04 through 2007/08.
This Plan is being prepared under new guidance from HUD, which is attempting to create a more
streamlined model that all cities can follow on a national scale. This simplification has resulted in a Plan
with a very broad and generic focus. The actual detailed implementation strategies are not reflected in the
Consolidated Plan, but are left to individual jurisdictions to undertake as outlined and adopted in their One-
Year Action Plan. The City of Miami Beach's One-Year Action Plan for FY 2003/04 is included on the July
30, 2003 agenda for separate action.
This Consolidated Plan incorporates very broad goals that are similar to those followed in the past. These
goals include: to expand the availability and supply of safe, decent and affordable housing; improve and
preserve the existing affordable housing stock; increase homeownership opportunities; develop linkages
between housing and social services providers for Iow and moderate income individuals and families; and
create economic development opportunities through economic and infrastructure development.
Advisory Board Recommendation:
At the July 28, 2003 meeting of the Neighborhoods Committee, the Consolidated Plan for Federal funds for
Fiscal Years 2003/04 through 2007/08 will be reviewed and a verbal report will be presented at the July
30,2003 Commission meeting.

Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Plan)is a federal requirement for all U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement cities. The City of Miami Beach is
a HUD designated entitlement city as determined bythe decennial census information on
population growth lag, age of housing stock and poverty. As an entitlement city, the City
of Miami Beach automatically qualifies for an annual allocation of federal funding under
HUD's grant programs. The annual allocation of funds, or One Year Action Plan, is one
component of the Five Year Consolidated Plan.
The Five Year Consolidated Plan (the "Plan") is a strategic long-range planning and
needs assessment on the intended use of federal funds as it relates to housing and
community development, including the needs of the homeless and persons living with
AIDS. There are five HUD required components of the Plan which are: 1) a description
of the Plan's development process; 2) an assessment of housing and homeless needs;
3) a housing market analysis; 4) a five year strategy; and 5) the One Year Action Plan.
The Consolidated Plan addresses the housing and community development needs and
provides strategies to follow the goals of the formula grant programs. The three formula
grant programs included in the Plan are the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME), and the Emergency Shelter Grants
(ESG) programs.

This Five-Year Consolidated Plan is being prepared under new guidance from HUD,
which is attempting to create a more streamlined model that all cities can follow on a
national scale. As a result of this simplification, the Plan is now very broad and generic in
its focus. Actual detailed implementation strategies and actions are not reflected in the
Plan and are left to individual jurisdictions to undertake with each year's Action Plan
adoption. This year's One-Year Action Plan with program detail is included on the July
30, 2003 agenda for separate action.
The proposed Five-Year Consolidated Plan ,with the exception of the new format, does
not differ significantly from the current plan and incorporates very broad goals that are
similar to goals followed in the past. These goals are the most significant part of the plan
and include:
· Expand the availability and supply of safe, decent and affordable housing
(including rental) for Iow and moderate income individuals and families
· Improve and preserve the existing affordable housing stock
· Increase homeownership opportunities
· Develop linkages between the housing and social services providers for Iow and
moderate income persons
· Create economic development opportunities through economic and infrastructure
development
In the preparation of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2003-2007, the
Administration consulted with its government partners, its residents, organizations, and
other interested parties. Staff worked with the Community Development Advisory
Committee (CDAC), the Loan Review Committee, the Committee on the Homeless, the
Neighborhoods Committee and the community at large to develop the Five-Year
Consolidated Plan. In addition to the two mandated public hearings held on March 18,
2003 and June 17, 2003, two additional public workshops were scheduled. A workshop
was held in south beach on April 23, 2003 at the Seymour Building located at 945
Pennsylvania Avenue and the second workshop was held on June 26, 2003 at the Shane
Watersports Center located at 6500 Indian Creek Drive.
Approval is being sought for the new Five Year Consolidated Plan which covers the
planning and strategic planning for fiscal years 2003 -2007. Approval to adopt the Plan
is requested at this meeting since the Commission recesses in August and does not
reconvene until September 10, 2003. The Plan must be submitted to U.S. HUD prior to
the August 15, 2003 deadline.
The strategy component of the Plan provides a guideline for the City to continue to
develop partnerships with community based service providers, including the City's
community development corporations (MBCDC and NBDC), the Housing Authority, and
other entities that provide housing and other community development activities to benefit

the Iow and moderate income persons of Miami Beach. As such, the Plan stipulates that
a Certification of Consistency with the Plan be obtained via City Commission review and
approval, thus keeping the citizenry and commission informed of activities to be
implemented. As the Plan is intended to be a useful working document, HUD has
provisions to implement amendments should they be necessary to better undertake
housing and community development activities.
Per HUD guidelines, the City Manager is the designated agent for all the formula grants,
and executes the Grant Applications, the Grant Agreements, and other applicable HUD
documents. The Housing and Community Development Division coordinates the
planning, preparation, submission and monitoring of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan
and the One-Year Action Plans for all subsequent years of the Five-Year Plan.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
attached resolution adopting the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan.

EXV, CUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND - THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN
Over the next five years the City of Miami Beach expects to receive approximately $3.5
million dollars annually in Federal assistance from the U.S. Department of }lousing and
Urban Development 0tUD). This assistance is provided through three separate programs: the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME affordable housing, and Emergency
Shelter Grant (ESG).
HU-D's goal for these programs is to develop viable urban communities by assisting low and
moderate-income people through: Providing decent housing;
Creating suitable living environment; and
Expanding economic oppommities.
The Consolidated Plan combines the separate requirements for these three programs (CDBG,
HOME and ESG) into one planning document.
HUD requires each community to adopt a five-year Consolidated Plan. The City has
prepared a NEW Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years (FY): FY 2003/4 to FY 2007/8.
Tl-lE CONSOLIDATED PLAN ADOPTION PROCESS
Because every community is different, I-IUD established a regulatory process for cities and
counties to follow when developing their five-year Strategy. The City's Housing and
Community Development Division of the Neighborhood Services Department was the lead
agency in the formulation of the Consolidated Plan. The Community Development Advisory
Committee (CDAC) assisted with recommendations for funding activities in the first-year Action
Plan (the one-year Action Plan for FY 2003/04).
In developing the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with its non-profit housing and social
service agencies, the Housing Authority, City departments, neighboring governments, and
concerned citizens through a public participation process that utilized written solicitations, public
notices, CDAC meetings and public workshops.
The Proposed five-year Consolidated Plan and one-year Action Plan for FY2003/04 were
available for public review and comment for the thirty-day period from June 12th to July 1 lth,
2003. (A summary of public comments is included in the Appendix of the Plan). The Consolidated Plan and
Action Plan were approved by City Commission on July 30, 2003.

Executive Summary
REPORT ORGANIZATION
The Consolidated Plan follows FIUD's format and contains a number of chapters:
Chapter One: The Plan Development Process
Chapter Two: Housing and Homeless Needs
Chapter Three: Housing Market Analysis
Chapter Four: Five-Year Strategy
One-Year Action Plan
Appendix
POPULATION PROFILE AND HOUSING NEEDS
In Miami Beach small rental units are being replaced by large, luxury units. As a result, the
number of full-time residents and housing units continues to decline. Seasonal housing continues
to expand. Housing prices are astronomical and rental rates are some of the highest in Miami-
Dade County. With more upscale businesses, hotels and tourists, traffic and parking are serious
problems.
Over the last ten years the City has become considerably younger. The City is now less Hispanic
than Miami-Dade County and has only a small number of African-American residents. Incomes
are rising. More people are becoming homeowners, but 62% of the City's households remain
renters. The number of apartment units in the City has declined by ten percent since 1990. The
City successfully restored its historic Art Deco and Lincoln Road pedestrian mall districts, and
has adopted a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy for North Beach.
Some of the more serious problems found in 1990 have been mitigated. For example~
overcrowded housing has dramatically declined. Although the poverty rate declined by half, one
in five of the City's households, many of them elderly still live in poverty. The City's diverse
population still requires a wide range of social services.
The City's international tourist based economy is dependent on 50,000 workers, many employed
in low paying positions. These are the people who keep the City's hospitality indu~ixy running
and they are being priced out of the market. This mismatch between wages and housing costs has
the potential to adversely affect the City's economy.
One of the greatest challenges for the City over the next five years will be to preserve and create
opportunities for high-quality affordable housing for the City's residents.
THE FIVE YEAR STRATEGY
The new Strategy is a continuation of the City's last five-year plan and continues the City's
partnerships with its housing and social service providers. A new focus is on the
revitalization of North Beach.
City of Miami Beach 2003-2007 Consolidated Plan
