DATE: December 14,2022
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA,
AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO ENGAGE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH DI LIDO BEACH RESORT,
LLC OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHICH WOULD, AMONG OTHER TERMS, MEMORIALIZE THE
FRAMEWORK FOR SUCH LINCOLN ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, AND FURTHER, DIRECTING THE
ADMINISTRATION TO FURTHER ANALYZE ALL ASPECTS OF THE POTENTIAL PEDESTRIANIZATION OF
THE 200 AND 300 BLOCKS OF LINCOLN ROAD, BETWEEN WASHINGTON AVENUE AND COLLINS
AVENUE AND THE REDUCTION OF VEHICULAR TRAFFIC EAST OF COLLINS AVENUE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On September 14,2022,at the request of Vice-Mayor Alex Fernandez,the City Commission referred the subject discussion item(C4 AB)to
the Land Use and Sustainability Committee(LUSC),the Public Safety Neighborhood and Quality of Life Committee(PSNQLC),and the
Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee(FERC).
Di Lido Beach Resort LLC, the owner of 1 Lincoln Road and 1671 Collins Avenue (the"Developer'), has proposed a renovation and
expansion to the existing Ritz Carlton South Beach. As part of its redevelopment plan,the Developer has proposed to design and engineer,
subject to direction from,and approval by,the City,pedestrian improvements within the Lincoln Road right-of-way from Washington Avenue
east to the beachwalk(the"Proposed Lincoln Road Improvements"). The Proposed Lincoln Road Improvements would contemplate the
closure of Lincoln Road between Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue(i.e.200 and 300 blocks of Lincoln Road)to vehicular traffic,the
reduction of vehicular traffic on Lincoln Road east of Collins Avenue (100 block), and the replacement/relocation of existing transit
infrastructure.The improvements are intended to transform the 200-300 blocks of Lincoln Road into a robust pedestrian plaza and to allow
for a more convenient connection for the public from the 100 block of Lincoln Road to the beachwalk. Attached is the Community Renewal
Program for the 100-300 blocks of Lincoln Road as prepared and proposed by the Developer.
At the November 14, 2022 FERC meeting,following a presentation by the Developer, the Committee discussed this item and passed a
motion favorably recommending the item to the December 14, 2022 City Commission meeting. More specifically, the Committee
recommended 1)that the Administration enter into negotiations with the Developer with regard to a development agreement to be approved
by the City Commission at a later date; 2)a Commission resolution supporting the closure of the 200 and 300 blocks of Lincoln Road to
- vehicular traffic and the partial closure of the 100 block subject to certain conditions and approval of a traffic study; and 3) that the
Administration work with the Developer on a maintenance agreement for the maintenance of the 100 block and the beachwalk.
At the November 18,2022 LUSC meeting,the Committee discussed this item and passed a motion favorably recommending the item to the
City Commission.The Committee recommended that the Administration 1)work with the Developer to finalize the traffic study and conduct
the associated peer review;2)verify the estimated construction costs;and 3)enter into negotiations with the Developer on the terms of a
development agreement.
At the November 30, 2022 Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee meeting, the Committee discussed this item and
passed a motion favorably recommending the item to the December 14,2022 City Commission meeting.The Committee recommended that
the Administration enter into negotiations with the Developer with regard to a development agreement and a maintenance agreement,and to
finalize the traffic study.
ANALYSIS
At this time,the Developer has prepared a conceptual plan of the proposed improvements,submitted a preliminary traffic study,and
proposed terms of a Development Agreement to implement the project.
Urban Design and Appropriateness
The Developer's proposal herein contains a vision that could convert the 200-300 blocks of Lincoln Road into a robust pedestrian
plaza.This could result in a public space transformation similar to that of the 1100 block of Lincoln Road in 2010.Additionally, the
proposed enhancements at the eastern terminus of the 100 block of Lincoln Road would allow for a more appropriate connection to
the beachwalk.Since the 100—300 blocks of Lincoln Road fall within a local historic district,approval from the Historic Preservation
Board will be required.While the proposed vision is noteworthy,a number of issues further detailed below must be addressed.
Transportation and Traffic Circulation
The concept proposed aligns with the City's adopted modal prioritization of "pedestrians first" and with the City's 2040
Comprehensive Plan strategic goal of becoming less car-centric. However,given the proposal would impact existing bus and trolley
stops on Lincoln Road with historically high passenger activity, a transit mitigation plan will be essential to provide the appropriate
transit accommodations as part of the proposal. At this time, the Developer's traffic engineer has submitted a preliminary traffic
assessment to the City's Transportation and Mobility Department for review. The Transportation and Mobility Department has
engaged a traffic engineering consultant to conduct an independent peer review of the developer's traffic impact study to ensure the
County's process governing street closures is followed and to ensure the City's comments are addressed.Per the Developer's traffic
engineer,a final draft traffic impact study is expected to be completed in 10-12 weeks.Once the final draft traffic study is submitted,
the City's peer reviewer will require a few weeks to complete the review and the process is anticipated to generate technical
comments regarding traffic circulation and transit accommodations which will need to be addressed by the Developer.
At this preliminary stage in the process,the following transportation-related items require further study and analysis:
1. Impacts to the existing key bus stops on the south and north sides of Lincoln Road between Collins Avenue and Washington
Avenue and the need to develop a proper transit mitigation plan that would integrate a transit facility as part of the street
reconfiguration or relocate in close proximity.Approval from the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public
Works will be required for any changes to existing bus stops and routes.
2. Completion of a traffic impact study,at the Developer's expense,pursuant to the Miami-Dade County Traffic Flow Modification
Procedure for street closures, including conducting a public hearing due to the proposed access management modifications.
The Developer has initially completed and presented to the City Administration conceptual plans and a preliminary traffic impact
analysis which is currently being reviewed by the City.
3. Review and approval of the traffic study and the design plans for the street closure will be required from both the Florida
Department of Transportation and Miami-Dade County.A permit from Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and
Public Works will be required for the street closure.
Capital Costs and Funding
As noted in the preliminary cost estimates provided by the Developer (Attachment B), the estimated construction cost of the proposed
improvements is approximately$24.9 million. The City's Office of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) is evaluating the cost estimates
provided by the Developer who has indicated that it would be solely responsible for all soft costs(including design,studies,and permitting)
and is requesting the City bear all hard costs. The proposed project is currently unfunded and the responsibilities of each party, including
but not limited to financing,development,and maintenance, will need to be further discussed and vetted in detail through negotiation of a
development agreement and brought to the City Commission for consideration.
SUPPORTING SURVEY DATA
In the 2022 Miami Beach Resident Survey, 81% of residents expressed concerns with pedestrian safety (vehicles not yielding to
pedestrians)when crossing the street at an intersection;25.1%of residents are dissatisfied with the length of wait time to cross;8.4%are
concerned about insufficient crossing time during walk phase;and 10.4%are dissatisfied with insufficient signage/poor signage. Over half of
the residents surveyed (56.5%) walk as one of their primary modes of transportation within the City. Furthermore, 52.2% of residents
surveyed expressed that capital projects that involve more walking/biking friendly streets, greenways, and paths are among the top three
most important types of capital projects.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Funding for the proposed Lincoln Road Improvements has not been identified,appropriated,or contemplated as part of the City's
Capital Improvement Plan as the project is not a capital infrastructure priority for the near to mid-term. Accordingly, the City
Commission would need to review, in consultation with the Administration, all potential funding options, including payment by the
Developer of hard costs associated with the improvements of the 100-300 blocks of Lincoln Road,as well as weighing the impacts of
potentially reprioritizing capital funds.
Amount(s)/Account(s):
N/A
CONCLUSION
While the proposal is innovative and attractive in concept,more detail and analysis regarding traffic,circulation,transit mitigation are
still needed,as more specifically noted herein.Additionally,the overall cost of the proposal has not been fully verified or contemplated
as part of the City's Capital Budget or capital infrastructure priorities.
Should the City Commission desire that the Administration move forward with the potential pedestrianization of the 200 and 300
blocks of Lincoln Road,and the partial pedestrianization of the 100 block,as envisioned and proposed by the Developer,these key
components will need to be further vetted through technical analysis and negotiations of a development agreement with the Developer
in the coming months.

SOLVING THE PROBLEM—A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
The revitalization of the subject areas remains a long-standing priority for the city,however,owing to various problems no effective solutions or investments have materialized.We now
have a solution.The government and private stakeholders are engage in a feasible revitalization plan to transform a troubled area into a showcase project for the city.
• The city and stakeholders wish to reduce crime,address life-safety issues,and improve the appearance of the east end of Lincoln Road in keeping with the esthetics of the Mall
• The city has a desire to improve traffic issues and the pedestrian experience in the 100 block of Lincoln Road and provide for a marquee entrance to the beach in line with the visions
of Carl Fisher and Morris Lapidus
• The city has a desire to close 200-300 LR to vehicular traffic to become a pedestrian thoroughfare line with the rest of the Lincoln Road Mall
• Sobe Sky Development,LLC.,which is an affiliate of the owners of the Ritz Carlton and Sagamore hotels,has agreed to support these initiatives and pay for the soft costs—plans,
drawings,and consultant fees pursuant to a road closure and comprehensive plan encompassing improvements to 100-300 LR.The Developer will present a cost estimate to the city,
which will detail the hard costs that the city will cover
• The various conditions related to the above will be reflected in a Road Closure Resolution and a Developers Agreement(DA)between the city and the developer
• The successful precedent for this undertaking is the road closure and development of 1111 Lincoln Road
