EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The establishment of a redevelopment district and exercise of redevelopment
powers requires an official finding of the necessity for redevelopment. In the
proposed Historic Convention Village Redevelopment Area, a finding of necessity
for redevelopment conditions can be based on conditions the Florida Redevelop-
ment Act, Chapter 163.355. F.S.
After examination of the study area, and application of appropriate criteria the
Historic Convention Village Redevelopment Area was found to possess a combina-
tion of conditions that indicate a need for redevelopment. Among these conditions
are:
• Building deterioration. A substantial number of deteriorating structures were
found to exist, and are dispersed over a substantial proportion of the study
area.
• Site deterioration and deficiencies. Site deterioration and deficiencies were
found in the form of broken pavements and sidewalks, deteriorating parking
lots, abandoned foundations from demolished buildings, and deteriorating
fixtures such as fences.
• Unsanitary Conditions. Unsanitary conditions included accumulations of
trash, debris, discarded appliances and furniture, and broken glass.
• Drainage deficiencies. Drainage deficiencies were identified in blocks where
flooding was observed that made streets and sidewalks impassable.
• Diversity of Ownership. Excessive diversity of ownership was found in blocks
that have five or more different owners. Such diversity makes it difficult to
assemble land for redevelopment.
• Age of Structures. Excessive age of structures was identified in blocks where
the average age of buildings was 40 years or more.
• Non-conforming structures: size of units. Non-conforming unit size was
identified in blocks where dwelling units do not meet minimum code stan

dards.
• Non-conforming structures: parking required. Non-conforming parking
facilities were identified in blocks where off-street parking does not meet
minimum code standards.
• Non-conforming structures: setbacks. Non-conforming setbacks were
identified in blocks where building setbacks do not meet minimum code
standards.
• Non-conforming structures: FAR. Non-conforming F.A.R. was identified in
blocks where buildings do not meet minimum code standards relating to floor
area ratio.
• Closed buildings. Closed buildings indicate economic disuse and obsoles-
cence.
• Vacant lots. Vacant lots indicate that land is not being put to productive use,
which limits the efficiency of local services, limits tax revenues, and can serve
as a breeding ground for crime, unsanitary conditions, and other social ills.
• Violations of fire code. Violations or•fire code are dangerous to life and
property.
• High crime rates: robbery, burglary, auto theft, and auto burglary. High crime
rates demonstrate a lack of public safety that inhibits sound development of
the area.
• Property maintenance and commercial properties code violations. Violations
of property maintenance standards are substandard conditions that inhibit
investment and sound development of the area.
Based on the facts presented in this report, the City's governing body
may reasonably request a delegation of authority from Dade County under the
Florida redevelopment act, and may make an official finding that a redevelopment
area is necessary in the historic convention village area.

FINDING OF NECESSITY
HISTORIC CONVENTION VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
METHODOLOGY
Study area
The initial study area was defined by the City to include a 55 block area, also
known as the proposed Historic Convention Village Redevelopment Area. The
boundaries of the study area are shown in Figure 1: Proposed Historical Convention
- Village Redevelopment Area.
Field survey
The study area was examined by consultants and City staff during Septem-
ber and October of 1992. The consultants examined buildings from the exterior,
and when encountering a deteriorated building, completed a building condition work
sheet for that building. Work sheets were set up so that buildings could be
classified as having minor deterioration, major deterioration, or dilapidation. While in
the field, the consultants also examined the study area for other conditions, includ-
ing: deterioration of site or other improvements, and unsanitary conditions. During
heavy rains on October 1, 1992, the consultants were able to observe drainage
deficiencies that resulted in impassable streets and sidewalks.
Public records
Additional information was obtained from city records, including a print-out of
property owners in the study area, records of the age of each building, records of
violations of the fire, zoning, and property maintenance and commercial properties
codes, a police report relating to crime in the area, and city inspectors' reports
relating to substandard dwelling units, substandard off-street parking, substandard
building setbacks, non-conforming floor-area ratio, closed building, and vacant lots.

In addition, the consultants obtained copies of various documents that
describe the general conditions and needs of the area, such as the Comprehensive
Plan, the Miami Beach Parking and Traffic Study, the Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy, and an infrastructure inadequacy report by the public works
director.
Aggregation of data
Data obtained in both the field survey and from city records and reports was
entered into a computer spreadsheet and aggregated into block data. Block data
include the number of buildings, number and percent of deteriorated buildings,
presence of deteriorated site conditions, presence of unsanitary conditions, pres-
ence of drainage deficiencies, number of ownership parcels, average age of
buildings, number of structures not in conformance with zoning codes relating to
size of dwelling units, parking requirements, building setbacks, and floor-area ratio
(F.A.R.), number of closed buildings, number of vacant lots, number of buildings in
violation of fire codes, presence of high \ e rates as reported by the police
department, and number of buildings in violation of the property maintenance and
commercial properties code. Detailed block data is shown in Appendix 1: Key Map
and Conditions Survey and Summary by Block.
Criteria
Each block was then evaluated for whether it did or did not meet the
following criteria that relates to Chapter 163.340 and 163.355.
1. Building deterioration of 20% or more. (Standards for building deterioration
are explained in the building deterioration section of this report).
2. Presence of site deterioration or deficiencies.
3. Presence of unsanitary conditions.

4. Five or more ownership parcels.
5. Average age of structures of 40 years or more.
6. Presence of structures not in conformance with zoning codes relating to size
of dwelling units.
7. Presence of structures not in conformance with zoning codes relating parking
`i requirements.
8. Presence of structures not in conformance with zoning codes relating to
setbacks.
9. Presence of structures not in conformance with zoning codes relating to
floor-area ratio (F.A.R.).
10. Presence of closed buildings.
11. Presence of vacant lots.
12. Presence of buildings in violation of fire codes.
13. A robbery rate of more than 20 per grid. ( The police department tracks
crime by manageable geographic,sections called grids),I
14. A burglary rate of more than 50 pegrid.
15. An auto theft rate of more than 40 per grid.
16. An auto burglary rate of more than 80 per grid.
17. Presence of buildings in violation of the property maintenance and commer-
cial properties code.
Determination of Need
Using the logical functions of the spreadsheet, the data was examined to
determine whether each block individually met a test of exhibiting either (a) deterio-
ration, or (b) at least 3 of the other blighting criteria. For example, two of the four
buildings in Block #31 are found to show signs of deterioration, a deterioration rate
of 50%. Another example: Block #9 met ten of the criteria, including diversity of
5
L 3 ,
t 4 r
Any
PIUMFt'IAV
FINDING OF NECESSITY - =3r
HISTORIC CONVENTION VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA ',
ownership, presence of non-conformances to code with respect to size of units,
required parking, setbacks, and F.A.R., presence of a vacant lot, high crime rates
for robbery, burglary, auto theft, and auto burglary. Even though Block #9 did not
exhibit building deterioration, it is classified as blighted on the basis of the ten
• conditions that It did meet. It is possible for a block to meet more than one part of
the blight test and most blocks did.
Mapping
As an aid in understanding the extent of blight and the interrelationships of
the criteria, a series of 18 maps were prepared, each showing the distribution of
one of the criteria. For example, the first map shows the blocks that met the criteria
for building deterioration. These maps can be over-laid to show the extent and the
relative severity of blight within the study area. Finally, a composite map was
prepared that shows the blocks that met the criteria of deterioration or at least three
other conditions.
Proposed boundary
As a general standard the boundary of a proposed redevelopment area
includes a number of blocks which clearly found to meet the blight criteria, and
other blocks within the area that may not be considered blightened individually but
which are otherwise necessary to the objective of eliminating blight.
Blocks that do not meet blight criteria may be necessary to the elimination of
blight for a number of reasons:
1. Blocks not meeting blight criteria may be affected by one or more conditions
whose correction is necessary to the economic health of the blighted area.
For example, the Miami Beach Parking and Traffic Study concluded that
additional parking will be needed for the success of the convention center.

The success of the convention center is in turn necessary to the economic
health of the adjacent blighted area.
2. Redevelopment funds may need to be spent in blocks not meeting blight
criteria to correct conditions in the blighted area_ For example, a drainage
deficiency was observed on Washington Avenue in front of the Convention
•
•
r Center. Correcting this problem may require expending redevelopment funds
*• in the Convention Center block even though that block is not classified as
blighted.
3. A functional relationship may exist between blocks not meeting blight criteria
and the adjacent blighted area. For example, the Theater of the Performing
Arts (TOPA), the Convention Center, and the parking facilities that serve
them are all related to the economic health of the adjacent Lincoln Road Mall,
and the larger Historic Convention Village. The success of Lincoln Road Mall
could depend on whether it is possible to create safe and attractive linkages
between the mall and those public activity centers. Similarly, there is a
reasonable relationship between combatting crime in the high crime area
South of Washington Avenue and combatting crime in the blocks North of
Washington Avenue where the Convention Center and other public buildings
and parking lots are located.

BUILDING CONDITION
An exterior building condition survey was conducted by the consultants
during September and October 1992. Buildings were classified in four categories:
(1) sound condition,
(2) showing minor deterioration,
(3) showing major deterioration,
(4) dilapidated.
Buildings classified as showing minor deterioration may have defects in the roof,
wall, chimney, doors, windows, or other elements such as porches. Buildings with
extensive combinations of such conditions can be classified as having major
deterioration. Buildings in which major elements are giving way, in which virtually
no doors and windows are in good condition, or which have a combination of major
defects can be classified as dilapidated.
Building deterioration affects a higli proportion of buildings in the study area.
The overall rate of deterioration in the study area was 61% of all buildings, as
shown in Table 1. The blocks that met the criteria of having a building deterioration
rate of more than 20% are shown in Figure 2: Building Deterioration. Building
deterioration affects 43 blocks in the study area, which is 78% of all blocks in the
area. TABLE 1 - BUILDING CONDITION

SITE DETERIORATION
Site deterioration and deficiencies were found in the form of broken pave-
ments and sidewalks, deteriorating parking lots, abandoned foundations from
demolished buildings, and deteriorating fixtures such as fences.
Site deterioration and deficiencies were found in 21 blocks (38% of all blocks
in the study area). These blocks were widely dispersed in the study area, as shown
by block in Figure 3: Site Deterioration.
UNSANITARY CONDITIONS
Unsanitary conditions included accumulations of trash, debris, discarded
appliances and furniture, and broken glass.
Unsanitary conditions were found in 28 blocks, which is 51% of all blocks in
the study area. The dispersal of unsanitary conditions is shown by block in Figure
4: Unsanitary Conditions.
DRAINAGE DEFICIENCIES
Drainage deficiencies were identified during rains on October 1, 1992, in
blocks where flooding was observed that made streets and sidewalks impassable.
In addition, an infrastructure adequacy report from the city public works department
concludes that 'storm sewers in the entire area are totally inadequate for the type of
development proposed. The report discribes the storm sewers as a syphon system
which backs up at high tide. This circumstance combined with a concentrated
rainfall results in significant flooding throughout the area.'
Drainage deficiencies were observed in 10 blocks, which is 18% of all blocks
in the study area. The dispersal of drainage deficiencies is shown by block in
Figure 5: Drainage Deficiencies.

HISTORIC CONVENTION VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
DIVERSITY OF OWNERSHIP
Excessive diversity of ownership is recognized as a condition which inhibits
the assembly of land for redevelopment, and makes the use of redevelopment
.,. 7 powers necessary in order to facilitate reinvestment,-The Florida Redevelopment
;'y Act refers to 'divers' of ownership-��� "diversity p..: which prevent(s) the free alienability of land
r , f within the deteriorated or hazardous area.'
The standard used in this study is that any block having five or more
-.1;)! ownership parcels is considered to display excessive diversity of ownership. Using
• that standard, 27 blocks, which is 49% of all blocks in study area, had excessive
diversity of ownership. The dispersal of ownership diversity is shown by block in
Figure 6: Ownership Diversity.
AGE OF STRUCTURES
Blocks where the average age of buildings was 40 years or more, were
identified as having aged structures. In she study area, 28 blocks (51% of all blocks
in the area) met the criteria of average bitcling age of 40 years or more. The
location of those blocks is shown in Figure 7: Average Age of Structures.
NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES: SIZE OF UNITS
Non-conforming unit size was identified in blocks where dwelling units do not
meet minimum code standards. In the study area, 33 blocks (60% of all blocks in
the area) included dwelling units whose size is non-conforming to the local code,
based upon information provided by City staff. The location of those blocks is
shown in Figure 8: Non-Conforming Structures: Size of Units.

NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES: PARKING REQUIRED
Non-conforming parking facilities were identified in blocks where off-street
parking provided for some buildings does not meet minimum code standards. In
addition, a finding was made that the convention center will need additional parking
in the future, based on the Miami Beach Parking and Traffic Study.2
In the study area, 47 blocks (85% of all blocks in the area) included buildings
that are non-conforming to parking requirements of the zoning code, based upon
information provided by the city staff. The location of those blocks is shown in
Figure 9: Non-Conforming Structures: Parking Required.
NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES: SETBACKS
Non-conforming setbacks were identified in blocks where some building
setbacks do not meet minimum standards of the local zoning code. In the study
area, 40 blocks (73% of all blocks in the area) included buildings that are non-
conforming to setback requirements of the zoning code, based upon information
provided by the city staff. The location ofose blocks is shown in Figure 10: Non-
Conforming Structures: Setbacks.
NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES: FAR.
Non-conforming floor area ratio (F.A.R.) was identified in blocks where some
buildings do not meet minimum code standards. In the study area, 46 blocks (84%
of all blocks in the area) included buildings that are non-conforming to F.A.R.
requirements the zoning code, based upon information provided by the city staff.
Those blocks are shown in Figure 11: Non-Conforming Structures: F.A.R.

VACANT LOTS
Vacant lots indicate that land is not being put to productive use, which limits
the efficiency of local services, limits tax revenues, and can serve as a breeding
ground for crime, unsanitary conditions, and other soda] ills. In the study area, 22
blocks (40% of all blocks in the area) included vacant lots, based upon information
provided by the city staff. The location of those blocks is shown in Figure 13:
Vacant Lots.
VIOLATIONS OF FIRE CODE
Violations of fire code are dangerous to life and property. In the study area,
20 blocks (36% of all blocks in the area) included buildings that have recent
violations of the fire code, based upon information provided by the city staff. The
location of those blocks is shown in Figure 14: Fire Violations.

HISTORIC CONVENTION VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
1.1
Miami Beach Police Department: robbery, burglary, auto theft, and auto burglary.3
During the period from January 1st to September 15th, 1992, 800 major crimes
occurred in the proposed Historic Convention Village Redevelopment Area. This
was 12% of the city's major crime, committed in an area that has 9% of the city's
population,
't Compounding the crime problem
. �:,� _.; : : po g p is a streetlight system that is below
�¢�• standard, in extremelypoor condition, and subject to frequent outages. According
ws : j 9
to a report from the
po city public works department, the entire area needs to be
upgraded, both in terms of light levels and conditions of equipment.4
Crime is tracked in the city by manageable geographic sections called
"grids". The police department report concludes that the historic convention village
study area is among the highest, in major crime, of all grids in the city.
Robbery
The highest robbery grid in the city is in the historic convention village study
area, and the top six robbery grids are either part of the historic convention village
study area or in close proximity to it. Twenty-four percent of all robberies in the city
occurred in the historic convention village study area.
In the study area, 27 blocks (49% of all blocks in the area) were included in
grids that had more than 20 robberies per grid. The location of those blocks is
shown in Figure 15: High Crime Grids - Robbery.
3 Report entitled "Convention Village Redevelopment Area Crime
Data", by the Miami Beach Police Department, September 30,
1992.
4 Infrastructure Inadequacy Report by Richard A. Gatti, Public
Works Director, October 2, 1992.

CONCLUSION
Basis for Finding of Necessity
10... The necessity for redevelopment in the proposed Historic Convention Village
. ;C^T" Redevelopment Area is related to indicators of blight namely building deterioration,
. ;, .;;,' .._ site deterioration, unsanitary conditions, drainage deficiencies, diversity of owner-
,= - ship, age of structures, non-conforming unit size, non-conforming parking facilities,
7
- - non-conforming setbacks, non-conforming F.A.R., closed buildings, vacant lots,
violations of the fire code, high crime rates for robbery, burglary, auto theft, and
auto burglary, and violations of the property maintenance and commercial proper-
ties code. Information was gathered from both field observation and examination of
public records and documented herein.
Blight Determination
The proposed Historic Convention Village Redevelopment Area was subject-
ed to a test in which each block was classified as meeting or not meeting blight
criteria. To meet blight criteria, a block had to have either (a) building deterioration
or site deterioration, or (b) at least three of the following: unsanitary conditions,
drainage deficiencies, diversity of ownership, age of structures, non-conforming unit
size, non-conforming parking facilities, non-conforming setbacks, non-conforming
F.A.R., closed buildings, vacant lots, violations of the fire code, high crime rates for
robbery, burglary, auto theft, and auto burglary, and violations of the property
maintenance and commercial properties code. Figure 20: Composite Map, shows
which blocks met this test. Of 55 blocks in the study area, 51 blocks, or 93% of all
blocks, met the blight test. Most blocks (45) met more than one part of the test.

Extent of blight
As an aid in understanding the extent of blight and the interrelationship of the
criteria, a series of 18 maps were prepared (Figure 2 through Figure 19). Each
map shows the blocks affected by one of the 18 criteria. For example, the Figure 2
shows the 43 blocks that met the criteria for building deterioration. These maps
can be over-laid to show the extent and the severity of blight in the study area.
A composite map, Figure 20, shows the blocks that met the criteria of
" f sx deterioration or at least three other conditions. On average each block in the study
area was affected by 9.6 different blighting conditions. This shows that blight is
substantial and pervasive in the proposed Historic Convention Village Redevel-
opment Area.
Proposed boundary
The boundary of the proposed Historic Convention Village Redevelopment
Area may include the blocks found to meet the blight criteria, and any other blocks
within the area that are necessary to the objective of eliminating blight.
Blocks that do not meet blight criteria may be necessary to the elimination of
blight for a number of reasons:
1. Blocks not meeting blight criteria may be affected by one or more conditions
whose correction is necessary to the economic health of the blighted area.
For example, the Miami Beach Parking and Traffic Study concluded that to
meet future needs of the convention center, a new parking structure will be
required.5 The success of the convention center is in turn necessary to the
economic health of the adjacent blighted area.

Associates, April 1991.

2. Redevelopment funds may need to be spent in blocks not meeting blight
criteria to correct conditions in the blighted area. For example, a drainage
deficiency was observed on Washington Avenue in front of the Convention
Center. Correcting this problem may require expending redevelopment funds
in the Convention Center block even though that block is not classified as
• ;.' . 44 blighted.
3. A reasonable relationship may exist between blocks not meeting blight
• criteria and the adjacent blighted area. For example, the Theater of the
Preforming Arts (TOPA), the Convention Center, and the parking facilities that
serve them are related to the economic health of the adjacent Lincoln Road
Mall. The success of Lincoln Road Mall could depend on whether it is
possible to create safe and attractive pedestrian linkages between the mall
and those public activity centers. Similarly, there is a reasonable relationship
between combatting crime in the high crime area South of Washington
Avenue and combatting crime in the blocks North of Washington Avenue
where the Convention Center, publ.buildings, and parking lots are located.
Blocks 52, 53, 54, and 55, (where the convention center, The Theater of the
Preforming Arts, The Garden Center, and parking lots are located), while not
meeting deterioration or other blighting criteria, may reasonably be included
in the proposed redevelopment area based on the following considerations:
1. that they represent public facilities necessary to the economic health the
adjacent blighted area,
2. that redevelopment funds may be need to be expended within those blocks
to correct blighting conditions, and
3. that there is a reasonable relationship between those blocks and correcting
blighting conditions in the adjacent area.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO. 64. (1- 2
TO: Mayor Seymour Gelber and DATE: November 4 , 1992
Members of the City Commission
FROM: Roger M. Cart ,
tna/ty _
City Manager
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING A PRELIMINARY REPORT SET FORTH
AS "EXHIBIT A" HERETO, CONCERNING A FINDING OF NECESSITY
FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF A CERTAIN GEOGRAPHIC AREA LOCATED
WITHIN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, DESCRIBED GENERALLY AS
BEING BOUNDED BY THE EAST BY THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, ON THE
NORTH BY 24TH STREET, ON THE WEST BY WEST AVENUE, AND ON
THE SOUTH BY 14TH LANE, AS SET FORTH IN "EXHIBIT B"
HERETO, AND REQUESTING METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY TO
DELEGATE TO THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH REDEVELOPMENT POWERS
IN ACCORDANCE WITH PART III OF CHAPTER 163, FLORIDA
STATUTES, SO AS TO PERMIT THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH TO
ESTABLISH A COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR THE
AFORESAID AREA.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The public hearing to be held on Wednesday, November 4th, 1992 at
5: 15 P.M. , is scheduled to hear testimony concerning the finding of
necessity for redevelopment of a certain geographic area located
within the City of Miami Beach, as defined in Exhibit B of the
accompanying resolution.
The Administration further recommends passage of the accompanying
resolution, which accepts the report entitled "Preliminary Draft,
Finding of Necessity, Convention Village Redevelopment Area"
prepared by Wallace Roberts & Todd, in conjunction with Casella &
Associates. Said report makes a finding of necessity and
determines that the area defined in said resolution meets the
State 's definition of "Blight" as defined in Section 163 . 340(8)
Florida Statutes (F.S) ; and, requests that Metropolitan Dade County
delegate to the City of Miami Beach, the authority to exercise
redevelopment powers within said described area, in accordance with
Chapter 163 F.S.
BACKGROUND:
In order to proceed with the planning or implementation of a
community redevelopment plan within the area referenced above, Dade
County must, by resolution, delegate to the City of Miami Beach
(and/or its duly designated agency) , redevelopment powers in
accordance with Part III of Chapter 163 F.S. , so as to permit the
City of Miami Beach to establish a community redevelopment agency
for the aforementioned area.

Commission Memorandum
Page 2
The attached report entitled "Finding of Necessity. Convention
Village Redevelopment Area" prepared by Wallace Roberts & Todd, in
conjunction with Casella & Associates, sufficiently and clearly
documents deficiencies and problems in the referenced area which
meets the statutory definition of "blight. "
The next step therefore, is to adopt the attached resolution so
that the Administration may forward the resolution and report to
Dade County to have the County Commission delegate appropriate
redevelopment authority to the City of Miami Beach and/or its duly
designated agency. It is anticipated that the Miami Beach
Redevelopment Agency will be established as the community
redevelopment agency for the afore-described blighted area.
Following the delegation of such authority to the City of Miami
Beach, the City will proceed to make a formal finding of necessity
in accordance with Section 163 . 35, F.S. , and take other actions
permitted by Part III, Chapter 163, F.S.
ANALYSIS:
Because this process is anticipated to take some time, it is
imperative that the City of Miami Beach move swiftly. The financing
plan to attract a convention headquarter hotel is predicated upon
the availability of tax increment financing. Until this Historic
Convention Village Redevelopment Area is created, we will not be
able to use this funding vehicle, nor will we be able to move
forward with a Request for Proposal for a hotel development.
Additional improvements as described in the "Center City" Vision of
the Future which was presented to the City Commission in the
October 19, 1992, Commission Meeting could also be funded with
Historic Convention Village Redevelopment Area tax increment
financing.
CONCLUSION
Upon adoption of the attached resolution, the Administration will
forward this package to Metropolitan Dade County. The County
Commission will make similar findings and, in turn, delegate
appropriate redevelopment authority to the City of Miami Beach.
The City Commission will remember that Dade County Manager, Joaquin
Avino, committed to forward the Historic Convention Village
Redevelopment Area to the County Commision for review within a
short period of time of receipt of the successful conclusion of the
negotiations relative to the allocation of the Convention
Development Tax to the Performing Arts Trust.
