Cuervo Assistant City Man~g r Jorge G. Gomez fJ~ Planning and Zoni g Director June 18, 2001 Analysis of the City Owned Property at Flamingo Park for Lease to Boys and Girls Club. (Section 82-38) Date: Subject: Pursuant to your request, this memorandum serves to provide an analysis of the lease of City Owned Property at the subject property. Section 82-38 of the Code of the City of Miami Beach requires that any proposed sale or lease of city-owned land be analyzed from a planning perspective in order that the City Commission and the public are fully apprised of all conditions relating to the proposed sale or lease. What follows, herein, are each of the eight criteria prescribed in said ordinance and a response to each: 1. Whether or not the proposed use is in keeping with City goals and objectives and conforms to the City Comprehensive Plan. The property in question, Flamingo Park, is characterized as a regional park serving the needs of the entire community and contains several public facilities. The Future Land Use Map of the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as ROS, Recreation Open Space. The leasing ofthe one story building, located at 1000 - 12th Street, as a recreation center to the Boys and Girls Club, would conform to the land use designation contained in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The impact on adjacent property, including the potential positive or negative impacts such as diminution of open space, increased traffic, noise level or enhanced property values, improved development patterns and provision of necessary services. Based on the proposed use of the property, the City shall determine the potential impact of the project on City utilities and other infrastructure needs and the magnitude of costs associated with needed infrastructure improvements. Should it become apparent that further evaluation of traffic impact is needed, the proponent shall be responsible for obtaining a traffic impact analysis from a reputable traffic engineer. The site currently contains several public facilities and recreational structures, leasing of the subject building as a recreational center should not have any negative impact on the surrounding area. 3. A determination as to whether or not the proposed use is in keeping with a public purpose and community needs, such as expanding the City's revenue base, reducing City costs, creating jobs, creating a significant revenue stream and improving the community's overall quality of life. Use of the subject building by the Boys and Girls Club is in keeping the community needs as families with children keep increasing within the City. This facility will serve to improve the quality of life for this growing sector of the population. 4. Determination as to whether or not the development is in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood, will block views, or create other environmental intrusions, and evaluation of the design and aesthetic considerations of the project. The proposal for leasing the facility does not generate any new construction or create any changes that will affect the surrounding area. 5. The impact on adjacent properties, whether or not there is adequate parking, street, and infrastructure needs. There should be no negative impact on adjacent properties. While parking is a problem throughout the City, the proposed lease should not signifICantly increase the need for parking. Since the facility is currently in operation, no further infrastructure needs are anticipated. 6. A determination as to whether or not alternatives are available for the proposed disposition, including assembly of adjacent properties, and whether the project could be accomplished under a private-ownership assembly. There are very few alternative locations with the appropriate zoning/land use classification to accommodate public organizations in the neighboring area. Assembly of adjacent properties is not likely. 7. Within the constraints of public objectives, the department should examine financial issues such as job generation, providing housing opportunities, and the return to the City for its disposition of property. No housing opportunities are created under the current facility. 2 8. Such other items as the Planning Department may deem appropriate in analysis of the proposed disposition. Planning Staff has not identified any further items.

ANALYSIS On January 13, 1995, the Miami Beach City Commission approved Resolution No. 95-21465 authorizing an Agreement between the City of Miami Beach (City) and the Boys and Girls Club of Miami, Inc. (Boys & Girls Club) for the purpose of providing programs/activities/classes during after-school and summer vacation hours. Said Agreement expired on April 4, 1999, and has continued on a month-to-month basis. The Boys & Girls Club has requested to enter into a long term lease with the City, for the use of the one story City-owned building in Flamingo Park, located at 1000 - 12th Street (the Property) as a recreation center. The Administration has negotiated a Lease Agreement with the Boys & Girls Club for a term of four (4) years and 364 days, including option periods, commencing on August 1,2001, and ending on July 30, 2006, with the Boys & Girls Club. Section 82-39 of the Miami Beach City Code, governing the sale/lease of public property, provides that the lease of any City-owned property for a period of five years or less, including option periods, requires the following: AGENDA ITEM R7D 7-(f-r)( DATE . a public hearing to obtain citizen input . a Planning Department analysis . an independent appraisal to determine the value of the leasehold interest . a public bidding process As such, and in light of the above public hearing requirement, the Administration recommended that at its June 6, 200 I, meeting, the Mayor and City Commission schedule a Public Hearing for June 27, 2001, as required, including compliance with the minimum fifteen (15) day advertised notice advising of said Public Hearing. At the June 27, 2001, City Commission meeting, the Administration recommended that the Mayor and City Commission open and continue the Public Hearing to allow the Administration time to assess the condition of the physical property and discuss with the Boys & Girls Club the inclusion of certain capital improvements to upgrade the Property. The Public Hearing was opened and continued until July 18,2001. Attached hereto is the required Planning Department analysis dated June 18, 2001, which does not reflect any negative impact related to the proposed lease ofthe Property. Section 82-39 further provides for the waiver of the competitive bidding and appraisal requirements, by 5/7ths vote of the Mayor and City Commission, upon a finding by the Mayor and City Commission that the public interest would be served by waiving such conditions. On June 28, 2001, the Administration met with representatives of the Boys & Girls Club. During said meeting it was determined that the Property was prone to flooding, had an outdated electrical infrastructure, and its restrooms were not in compliance with American with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. 1t was agreed to jointly pursue the above noted issues. The City would assess the costs involved to relieve the flooding via the construction of retaining walls and a sump system, the rehabilitation of the restrooms to comply with ADA guidelines, and the upgrading of the electrical system. The Boys & Girls Club agreed to pursue funding from sources which required a long term (approximately 5 yrs or more) lease agreement, which had previously been unattainable. Based on the foregoing, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the attached Lease Agreement between the City and the Boys & Girls Club, and further waive the competitive bidding and appraisal requirements Section 82-39 of the City Code, finding same to be in the City's best interest.
