DATE --
At the Land Use and Development Committee Meeting of April 13, 1998, the Administration
described a planning process that would include a comprehensive review and evaluation of pertinent
urban planning and economic development issues, and community and entertainment industry
participation in the use assessment process. Examples of similar planning processes were described
that had been successfully used in the City such as the site selection for the Library, the Bass
Museum addition, the expansion of the Convention Center, the revitalization of Ocean Drive, and
the Convention Hotel area.
The proposed process would have resulted in a comprehensive planning process for the respective
sites that would be the subject of an RFP/RFLI. Staff reported that they would further develop
preliminary criteria for possible RFPs or RFLIs as needed, to support the planning and
implementation process, and to present this criteria at the May II, 1998, Land Use and
Development Committee Meeting. At this meeting, a brief presentation was made by the
Administration on the preliminary evaluation and proposed scope of work for a planning process for
the 17th Street and Washington Avenue site; the preferred lot between 18th and 19th streets; and
the North Beach site at 73rd Street.
A study timetable, costs and public participation process was discussed by the Land Use and
Development Committee and members of the public.
The Committee recommended that the City Commission direct the Administration to conduct a
proper planning process.
On May 20, 1998, the City Commission accepted the Land Use and Development Committees
recommendation as follows:
1. The appointment of two Steering committees to be comprised of local business
representatives from the respective project area, local residential representatives,
local civic leaders, and members of the City Administration. One Steering
Committee would review the two South Beach sites and the second Committee
would review the North Beach site. The two committees were recommended due to
the unique considerations of each site.
2. The expenditure of funds to conduct a proper planning process
3. The selection of consultants to assist with the Analysis and Feasibility Studies, and
specific Site/Area Planning Strategies (from the City's professional consultants list
and/or as needed) to include economic, and market analysis, traffic and
transportation analysis, urban planning, urban design and architectural analysis and
recommendations.
Additional conditions by the Land Use Committee accepted by the Commission included the
following:
4. The consultants shall be familiar with the unique urban characteristics of Miami
Beach and the Historic Districts
5. The consultants shall not derive any further associated work as a result of their
participation in this process; and
6. There shall be broad public participation
Since the May 20, 1998, City Commission meeting, the City's Ot1ice of Arts, Culture and
Entertainment has worked closely with the Fashion, Film, Television and Recording Committee to
develop and schedule a Roundtable discussion as well as to develop, distribute and analyze an
entertainment industry needs and benefits analysis questionnaire/responses.
Three hundred questionnaires were mailed to the entertainment industry; approximately 150 were
mailed to companies in Miami Beach, and 150 to companies outside the city limits. Eighty five
respondents provided comments by way of the questionnaire. Fifty-six were from businesses
located on Miami Beach and twenty-nine from outside the city limits. A summary describing the
above is enclosed as part of the RFP. A preliminary tabulation of section 7 of the questionnaire
dealing with the Entertainment Industry needs is also enclosed as part of the RFP.
On July 8, 1998, a very well attended Roundtable Discussion took place at City Hall. Over 100
persons were in attendance and offered valuable testimony identifying clear and concise needs of
their industry. Numerous excellent recommendations were made by participants. A summary of the
discussion and attendance sheet is available upon request.
On July 20, 1998, the Administration brought before the City Commission a Resolution to undertake
the following:
I. Create a Steering Committee
2. Appropriate funding related to the study and RFP process (to be recouped upon
award of the RFP).
3. Authorize the Administration to select and enter into contracts with professional
consultants to assist with the process and the enclosed material.
A broad discussion by the City Commission, interested members of the public and the
Administration took place regarding the proposed resolution.
The City Commission concluded that the Administration should proceed to prepare a request for
proposals for the 17th Street Site. In order to insure that the city obtain the very best proposals for
this very important site, the Administration recommended that the RFP require respondents to
provide information as listed in the RFP Summary.
All costs related to the RFP process are recommended to be paid by the selected respondents. Costs
associated with the RFP process include advertising, legal, financial, and other related professional
serves as needed.
The City Commission also authorized the Administration to select and obtain those professional
services necessary to provide assistance as needed.
On October 21, 1998, the Administration brought forth a resolution to the City Commission
authorizing the Administration to issue an RFP for the 17th Street Site.
The draft RFP contained the City's basic requirements, contextual information specific to this site,
requirements/guidelines/criteria for selection and a schedule briefly described in the RFP SummarY
listed in the Analysis section of this report. "
At the October 21, 1998 City Commission meeting, Michael Tilson Thomas, Artistic Director of the
New World Symphony (NWS) addressed the City Commission. Mr. Thomas described the rapid
growth and development of the NWS on a national and international scale. Due to the success of
the NWS, the rehearsal, technology and workshop spaces within the Lincoln Theater on Lincoln
Road is now limiting the exploration of innovative styles of performance and the development of
new audiences. Mr. Thomas, State Representative Elaine Bloom, NWS Board member Joy Malakoff
and President and CEO of the NWS, Chris Dunworth requested that the City Commission consider
the expansion needs of the NWS in relation to the proposed RFP. The City Commission recognized
the importance of such a valuable cultural institution and requested the Administration to amend the
draft RFP to include the expansion needs of the NWS as part of same.
Additionally, the City Commission requested that the LA Times and Variety as well as publications
serving the architectural industry be added to the list of publications where the RFP is to be
advertised; clarified that funding for costs related to the RFP for consulting services, advertisements
and related costs be secured from Bond Fund 351 up to $75,000, to be reimbursed by the successful
proposer; requested that language in the RFP be further clarified that the City is not under obligation
to negotiate with other proposers in the event that an agreement is not reached with the preferred
respondent; that the process of evaluation be tailored after the process used for the Convention Hotel
project; and that consultant(s) should have experience with the entertainment industry.
ANAL YSIS
The draft RFP has been amended to include the City Commission's directive of October 21, 1998
to include the expansion needs of the NWS in the RFP; additional publications have been added for
advertisement; and language has been clarified about the City's obligations to respondents regarding
negotiations. The remaining items requested by the City Commission such as the process for
evaluation and consultants to have experience in the entertainment industry will be followed by the
Administration as the process unfolds.

all environmental remediation, demolition/relocation of existing structures. and other site preparation
costs.

III. THE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
A. BACKGROUND
Over the last ten years Miami Beach has evolved from being a predominantly tourist destination with a large
retirement population, to one which may be characterized as a vibrant urban residential, resort and business
community.
Access to the City's beaches, close proximity to Miami's downtown business district, the proposed Perfonning Arts
Center in Downtown Miami, and the popularity of the Historic Art Deco District are all contributing factors to the
rediscovery of Miami Beach as a place to visit, live, and work. The influx of younger residents and families,
coupled with the establishment of new businesses in the area, has established Miami Beach as an international city.
Within this dynamic City, is a twelve (12) block commercial gem known as Lincoln Road, which stretches from the
Atlantic Ocean to Biscayne Bay, and is located in Miami Beach's trendy South Beach area. With its convenient
location, tropical climate, and lively pedestrian character, the Lincoln Road area attracts a wide range of business
activity. The highlight of the area is a pedestrian mall, which recently underwent a $19.8 million renovation that
involved extensive streetscape, landscape and other aesthetic improvements demonstrating the City's commitment to
the revitalization of the area.
Lincoln Road is South Beach's center of culture and commerce. Currently, the pedestrian thoroughfare is home to
six major cultural institutions: the Miami City Ballet, the New World Symphony at the Lincoln Theater, the Colony
Theater, Art Center of South Florida, the Alliance Cinema, and the Area Stage. The Road enjoys a diverse
assortment of sidewalk cafes, and is also home to numerous art galleries, a burgeoning home and design industry,
stylish European and American boutiques, retro and antique shops, and office space. The architecturally distinctive
character of the area makes Lincoln Road Mall a unique shopping and entertainment destination.
Adding to the economic boom that was fueled by the Art Deco renaissance, the City of Miami Beach has attracted
the film/entertainment industries, which have made Miami Beach home. With the arrival of these industries, the
City not only increased its international reputation, but also enhanced its economy. These industries include the film,
fashion, print, production, post-production, cable television, and music industries. Lincoln Road has become their
corporate headquarters.
In addition, other new developments in the area include the Loews Miami Beach Convention Center Hotel, the
Royal Palm Crowne Plaza Hotel, and South Beach Cinemas (I8-screen complex located at the west end of Lincoln
Road Mall).

C. SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY
The 17th Street site is uniquely situated at the north edge of the City s central business district, at 500 17th Street
(Exhibit "A"). It encompasses two city blocks that are bounded by 17th Street on the North; Washington Avenue on
the East: Lincoln Lane on the South; and Pennsylvania A venue on the West. Drexel A venue passes north-south
through the middle of the site. It is surrounded on its northeast, southeast and southwest quadrants by the Art Deco
Historic District (Exhibit "B'"). designated in I 979 by the National Park Service (National Register). Only the
northwest quadrant is not bounded by this Historic District. In addition, the site is located in the center of the
Historic Convention Village Redevelopment and Revitalization Area (Exhibit "C"), which was designated in 1993
as a Community Redevelopment Area.
The 17th Street site was originally a part of the City of Miami Beach Municipal Golf Course, conceived and
developed by Carl Fisher in the early 1920's. Four decades later, following the construction of the Miami Beach
Convention Center on a part of the golf course, the site became home to a two level municipal parking structure.
This multi-level parking use remained from the 1960's through the early 1990's, at which time the structure was
demolished for structural reasons. The site then assumed its present configuration as a landscaped surface parking
lot, with revenue control features. State-of-the-art toll collection structures are situated at the Drexel and
Pennsylvania A venue entrances.
Today, the site substantially services the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts (TOPA), Lincoln Road
Mall, and the Miami Beach Convention Center. It is significant to note, however, that the western portion of the site
also provides, from time to time, an important exhibition staging lot for major events at the Convention Center; in
particular the Miami International Boat Show.
It should be further noted that the development proposals must be for the two surface lots only. The side streets,
including Drexel Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue and Lincoln Lane, shall remain open to vehicular traffic.
D. ZONING STATUS
The site is currently zoned "CCC" (Civic and Convention Center District), whose purpose is to accommodate the
facilities necessary to support the Convention Center. Main permitted uses include: parking lots, garages,
performing arts and cultural facilities, hotels, merchandise marts, commercial or office development, landscape open
space, and parks.
The existing maximum height limit is currently 100 feet or eleven (II) stories. The allowable Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) had previously been a range of from 1.25 to 5.0, based on lot size but, as of the Planning Board vote at its
July 20, 1998 meeting, zoning-in-progress is in effect, setting the FAR at 2.75 for all lot sizes. The City
Commission on first reading adopted an FAR for the CCC District of 2.75. A second and final reading is set for
November 4, 1998.
The Development regulations pertaining to the CCC Zoning District (setbacks, Floor Area Ratio, signage, parking
requirements, etc.) are the average of the requirements contained in the zoning districts that surround the 17th Street
site, and are subject to the official interpretation of the Planning Department Director.
E. DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN PARAMETERS
The development of the site will substantially define the image of Miami Beach's central business district for many
decades to come and consequently, this development must be considered with the greatest care. The site is the
single, largest, most strategically located tract of open public land currently available for development in South
Beach. It occupies more than five acres at the intersection of two of the City's primary transportation corridors;
17th Street to the north, and Washington A venue to the east. This unique location makes the site accessible to the
Atlantic Ocean beaches, the Collins A venue hotel district; the rapidly redeveloping Lincoln Road Mall; the
Washington A venue commercial corridor; the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts (TOP A); the Miami
Beach Convention Center; the renovated and expanded Bass Museum and emerging Collins Park Cultural Arts
Campus; the Holocaust Memorial; and Miami Beach City Hall; and of course Miami Beach's important Art Deco
Historic District.
9
The site has remained open public land, available for appropriate development today, for important reasons. Early in
the resort development history of Miami Beach, the City forefathers, including Carl Fisher, designated a sizeable
land tract north of Lincoln Road and west of Washington Avenue, as open recreation land for a municipal golf
course. This well considered urban land use plan consolidated Miami Beach's reputation and image as a
sophisticated tropical playground that successfully balanced urban development with the enhancement and
preservation of the natural open environment for visitors and residents to enjoy alike. Even as the fortunes of South
Florida and the City declined in the decades following World War II, and new urban economic priorities dictated a
convention center use on the site of the former Municipal Golf Course, City leaders were careful to reserve that
portion closest to the central business district as substantially open for appropriate future development. That wise
planning policy has served this City well and now provides a unique development opportunity.
F. SITE FUNCTIONS AND ADJACENT URBAN RELATIONSHIPS
[n defining the successful future development of the site, the following current site functions and established urban
relationships must be carefully understood and reconciled in any proposal for development:
Current Site Functions
Primary Municipal Parking for the Miami Beach Convention Center, the Jackie Gleason Theater of the
Performing Arts, New World Symphony at Lincoln Theater, and Lincoln Road
Established Adjacent Urban Relationships of Major Significance
Washington Avenue and Linco[n Road Commercial/Office Corridors
Lincoln Road Restaurant, Gallery, Retail, and Entertainment District
Music, Film and Television Production Industry Facilities
Public Art, Artists, and Artists Support Facilities on the Lincoln Road Corridor
The National Register Art Deco Historic District
Collins A venue Hotel District
Atlantic Ocean Beaches
Multi-Modal Transportation Transfer Point (Metro-Dade Buses, Electro-Wave and Taxis) at the Crossroad
of 17th Street and Washington A venue
G. URBAN NEEDS AND POTENTIAL FUTURE APPROPRIATE USES
In addition to the aforementioned functions and relationships of the site, a careful evaluation of the following urban
needs and future potential appropriate uses shall be considered as a part of any proposal for development of the site:
Enhanced Parking for TOPA, the Convention Center, the New World Symphony, Lincoln Road, and the
Collins A venue Hotel District
Expanded Support Facilities for the growing Music, Film and Television Production Industries
Class A Office Space adjacent to the heart of the City's downtown business area
Visitor and Tourism Information Center serving the National Register Art Deco Historic District; Miami
Beach Convention Center; TOPA; and the New World Symphony; Bass Museum and Cultural Arts
Campus; Linco[n Road Mall; Washington Avenue and Espano[a Way; Holocaust Memorial; Botanical
Garden Center/Conservatory; E[ectro- Wave and Public Transportation Systems; and Atlantic Ocean
Beaches
Inter-Modal Transportation Hub Facilities providing for local park-and-ride connections to multi-modal
transportation systems and various City destinations
Expansion needs of the New World Symphony
Expansion of Lincoln Road Artist Studios and Support Facilities that nourish the City's cultural life
Small-Scale Business Suites Hotel in close proximity to Music, Film and Te[evision Production Industries
Further increase in inventory of Convention-grade hotel rooms for Convention business
Commercial/Retail Link or Anchor from 17th Street to Lincoln Road along Washington A venue
10
Public Plaza facilitating vehicular and pedestrian movement throughout and across the site, from the
Convention Center to Lincoln Road Mall, and serving as auxiliary staging area for Convention Center
events
Staging facility for the Miami Beach Convention Center
A variety of factors will influence and shape the design of an appropriate project on the site; certain of these factors,
however. are of such import to the future success of the City's central business district that they are elaborated upon
in further detail as follows.
H. NATIONAL REGISTER ART DECO HISTORIC DISTRICT
Although the site was not included within the boundaries of the National Register Historic District at the time it was
designated in 1979, the Historic District bounds the site on three sides and is one of the most important contextual
relationships to be addressed. Arguably, the National Register Art Deco Historic District has been, and continues
to be the single most tangible influence fueling the City's extraordinary resurgence as a design and tourism mecca.
The City Commission, the City Administration, residents, visitors, and design professionals alike will be closely
monitoring any development proposed for the site; particularly measuring all proposals not only for their functional
merit and appropriate use of the site, but also for their sensitivity and compatibility to Miami Beach's National
Register Historic District and the City's design legacy.
The City Administration, as well as the Historic Preservation and Design Review Boards, have clearly signaled their
ongoing interest in preserving the special urban character of the Beach while advancing its cutting edge design
continuum well into the future. Due to the sheer magnitude of the successful proposal project, and its anticipated
impact on the central business district and adjacent Historic District, it is imperative that all development proposals
must be clearly compatible with the unique pedestrian character, urban scale and building materials of Miami Beach.
All proposed project designs must strive to distill and advance the essence of Miami Beach's tropical design
tradition, as seen throughout the National Register Historic District, as well as elsewhere in the City. This does not
mean that the architecture must be Art Deco inspired; to the contrary, it means that any proposed design must
successfully interpret the significance of Art Deco in Miami Beach and advance that design continuum. The project
must seek to produce the finest design of its time, imbued with the spirit and optimism that is the hallmark of Miami
Beach and of the Art Deco movement.
All Proposers are advised that, in addition to City Commission review and approval. the selected project will be
subject to review and approval by the Miami Beach Design Review Board prior to a Building Permit being issued.
I. PARKING AND CONVENTION CENTER STAGING USES AND REQUIREMENTS
Any proposal for the site must maintain at least the current level of parking (506 spaces) available to the general
public, in addition to serving its own needs. Preferably, proposed site development will enhance the amount of
parking currently available. This is critical, as there are 5 to 6 Convention Center shows annually that require
maximum parking for the lots as presently configured. As convention business in Miami Beach increases, parking
will remain a high priority.
The primary parking use of the site at this time is for parking to serve the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing
Arts (TOPA). These lots are TOPA's primary parking, and typically valet plus those lots handle the vast majority of
theater needs, leaving the Preferred Lot (on the west side of Convention Center Drive) as well as the 17th Street
Municipal Garage available for normal Convention Center use.
A recent review by the City's Parking Department offers the following observations and comments that must be
given special consideration:
Current 17th Street Site Parking Uses
Monthly decal parkers (general parking)
TOPA Parking for all events
II
New World Symphony Parking (Lincoln Theater) for all events
Transient parking for customers, clients and visitors to Lincoln Road
Other Current 17th Street Site Uses
Staging for the International Boat Show. The 17th Street and Washington Avenue West Lot has provided
an efficient and effective way to marshal large yachts into the Convention Center; prior to the use of this
lot, marshaling and holding took place on the Preferred Lot, on the west side of the Convention Center, but
this resulted in serious traffic jams at the intersection of Meridian A venue and Dade Boulevard.
Park and Ride Lot for the Electro-Wave and Special Events, such as Art Deco Weekend, and many others.
Parking Concerns and Requirements of the RFP
Current Parking Revenues derived from the 17th Street Site are pledged to Parking Revenue Bonds; these
revenues are substantial and include the following:
300 Monthly Decal Parkers at $SO/month = $180,000 annually
Transient Parking averaging $70,000/month = $840,000 annually
All Proposals must address regular payment to the City's Parking Department for any amount that these
lots currently receive in revenue, inclusive of a reasonable revenue escalation clause for future years.
All Proposals must provide, at a minimum, 300 spaces out of the existing (506 spaces) for Monthly Decal
Parkers to avoid placing an unbearable strain on the remainder of parking along the Lincoln Road corridor.
All Proposals must provide parking at a (negotiated) flat rate for TaPA comparable to similar Performing
Arts Center and Lincoln Theater clients that is collected on entry, to allow efficient exiting following
shows.
All Proposals must provide a facility or an acceptable arrangement, for the effective and efficient
marshaling of large vessels or other cumbersome exhibition items on the site during major consumer shows
at the Convention Center, such as the International Boat Show.
All Proposals must provide for the construction of Parking Facilities as a First Phase of Development in
order to lessen the impact of the overall project construction period on parkers and the public.
J. FILM/ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY/CULTURAL INSTITUTION CONSIDERATIONS AND
NEEDS
The film/entertainment industries have played an important role in energizing the social/cultural allure of Miami
Beach and today these industries are poised on the threshold of substantial expansion and enhancement. The City
has experienced the emergence of major music recording studios throughout South Beach, as well as the arrival of
significant television production facilities, plus the continued success and expansion of programs at the TaPA, the
New World Symphony, the Miami City Ballet, and the Colony Theater. Additionally, location film shoots have
become routine and the City of Miami Beach recognizes the growth and sophistication of area residents and visitors
and Miami Beach's desirability as a venue. Miami Beach has become a spectacular backdrop for major productions.
The City of Miami Beach is eager to encourage the growth and development of these important industries.
Consequently, it might be appropriate to accommodate aspects of the film/entertainment industry as a component of
the 17th Street proposal.
The following two analyses represent a partial snapshot of factors pertinent to the future of the entertainment
industry in Miami Beach:
Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts
A recent assessment by the General Manager of the Miami Beach Convention Center (and TaPA) provides a
significant insight into the long range programming at TaPA in light of the likely construction of the Miami-Dade
12
Perfonning Arts Center in Miami. Over the past couple of years, TaPA has wisely and carefully adjusted its
programming to best prepare for such an eventuality.
The current mix of classical, ethnic, pop, Broadway, dance, children, concerts, and community events is a change
from the previous strictly traditional fare that was TaPA's staple. The principals of the Miami-Dade Perfonning
Arts Center have varying degrees of activity in TaPA: New World Symphony (1-2 shows per year): Florida
Philhannonic (possibly two pop concert dates annually); Opera (likely none); Concert Association (1-2 dates
annually): and the Ballet (4 weekends plus the Nutcracker) - the largest user of the five. The City anticipates
Broadway shows to remain heavily at the TaPA, as dates available at the Miami-Dade Perfonning Arts Center may
be difficult. Latin shows, however, have also become a successful staple, and TaPA intends to continue to grow in
that area of entertainment.
Fashion, Film, Television and Recording Committee's Questionnaire Analysis
A recent questionnaire developed by the City of Miami Beach Fashion, Film, Television and Recording Committee,
entitled "Entertainment Industry Needs and Benefits Analysis Questionnaire" (attached hereto as Exhibit "0"),
provides a revealing glance into the needs of this industry as assessed by its own companies. Some of the highlights
are summarized below:
Of 84 companies responding, 32% were in the music segment; 16% in TV/Cable; 13% in Fashion/Print;
12% were Arts Organizations; 10% Film; and the remaining 17% distributed among other related segments
Of 83 respondents, 51 % were Miami Beach residents
Of 83 respondents, 69% reported Miami Beach as their principal place of business, while 30% were in
Miami-Dade County, and only I % were elsewhere
Among 78 companies reporting, the median operations commencement date was 1993; 40% of the
companies have an annual operating budget in excess of $1 ,000,000, with 20% in excess of $5,000,000; the
average of annual operating budgets reported is $2,200,641
The average number of company employees is 18, with 35% residing in Miami Beach
Of76 companies responding, 68% own or lease office, studio, or production facilities on Miami Beach, and
67% of these Companies use this space for office purposes, with studio and production space representing
another 24%, and the balance being distributed between perfonnance, rehearsal and museum space
Of 84 companies responding, 56% indicated their intention of expanding their facilities in the next 1-3
years, with an average floor of 11,792 square feet needed for each of the 27 companies answering this
query; this represents approximately 318,000 square feet of additional floor area for these 27 respondents
only
Of the 20 industry needs ranked by the participants, on a scale of 1-5, the top 5 highest ranked needs were
as follows: employee parking (3.63); skilled labor force (3.19); economic incentive (3.13); Class A office
space (3.08); and hotels with business amenities (2.92)
New World Symphony
The New World Symphony (NWS) was established in 1986 by Michael Tilson Thomas. The mission of the NWS is
to train gifted graduates of leading conservatories and schools of music for leadership positions in orchestras and
ensemble groups around the world. The NWS is a 50 I(c) (3) not-for-profit organization with a nine-month concert
and education season with an annual operations budget of approximately $8 million.
The NWS is based at the Lincoln Theater at the northeast comer of Lincoln Road and Pennsylvania Avenue,
immediately south of the 17th Street site with its main entrance on Lincoln Road. After years of rapid growth and
development, the rehearsal, technology and workshop spaces within the Lincoln Theater are limiting the exploration
of innovative styles ofperfonnance and the development of new audiences. The City recognizes the unique value of
this cultural institution and its expansion needs and requests that the expansion needs of the NWS be included as
part of the 17th Street site RFP. "Exhibit E" contains additional infonnation about the organization and expansion
needs in relation to this RFP.

K. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC CONSIDERATIONS
A development project of this magnitude will have a substantial impact upon the City's transportation and vehicular
circulation systems. If effectively planned and efficiently managed, however, this impact can have substantial long-
range benefits. In order to ensure that the proposed project(s) will be consistent with the City's present and future
goals and objectives for the area, consistent with the City's Municipal Mobility Plan, along with all traffic
circulation and mass transit concurrency requirements, a Comprehensive Traffic Impact Study (Level III) shall be
required as a part of this RFP. The Study Area shall be from the MacArthur Causeway/5th Street to the Julia Tuttle
Causeway/41st Street, and between Alton Road and Ocean Drive.
The particulars required in this Level III Traffic Impact Study are generally summarized in Exhibit "F", attached
hereto.
L. UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES AND UTILITIES
A current preliminary assessment of underground structures and utilities believed to be situated on the site has been
prepared by the City's Public Works Department and is attached hereto as Exhibit "G".

New World Symphony
Lincoln Theatre Expansion
Introduction
The New World Symphony (NWS), "America's Orchestral Academy," was established in
1986 by Michael Tilson Thomas, performing its first public concert in February, 1988.
NWS' mission is to prepare gifted graduates of the world's leading conservatories and
schools of music for leadership positions in orchestras and ensemble groups around the
world. NWS is structured as an intensive three-year fellowship program, with musicians
receiving a weekly stipend and housing in the Plymouth and Ansonia Hotels, located at 336
and 318-21st Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139. The New World Symphony is a 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit organization incorporated in the State of Florida. NWS operates year-round,
with a nine-month concert and educational season. Its annual operations budget is
approximately eight million dollars.
After ten years of rapid growth and development NWS has outgrown its administrative and
performance space within the Lincoln Theatre. In addition to its musician training programs,
NWS has also become a nationally recognized laboratory for experimentation with new ways
of creating and listening to classical music. The proposed expansion of the Lincoln Theatre
would include classrooms, practice and rehearsal rooms of varying sizes, and an acoustically
perfect "soundspace," conceived as a flexible, non-traditional performance and broadcast
space for the exploration of innovative styles of performance and the development of new
audiences.
Total space needs for the expansion have been approximated at 75,000-100,000 square feet.
We envision that this space could be accommodated on a level footprint of approximately
25,000 square feet. The facility must be designed in such a way as to be ultimately
accessible to the broadest segment of the community. The street level should encourage
access and interaction with the facility. Lobby and public spaces need to be accessible to
both the laboratory/performance areas as well as the classroom, office and studio space. The
normal and customary support spaces, such as restrooms, will need to be located within
reasonable proximity to the public space. Not all of the working spaces will be required to
be on the main floor or street level. Loading docks and backstage support areas should be
designed for ease of access.
The New World Symphony is based at the Lincoln Theatre at the northeast comer of Lincoln
Road and Pennsylvania Avenue. The entrance to NWS' administrative offices is at 541
Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139. The proposed expansion would occupy a part of
the property immediately to the north of NWS' current campus. The expansion should
preferably be adjacent to the existing facility with appropriate access.
NWS is currently working with theater consultants, acousticians, and architects to develop
the necessary program for the expansion plans for NWS in close proximity/adjacent to the
Lincoln Theatre. NWS is prepared to work with developers in establishing planning and
implementation schedules.
NWS management will work closely with developers responding to the current RFP with the
aim of integrating a NWS facility of the dimensions and capabilities into the overall
development of the site(s).
Pro~ram Description
As the New World Symphony enters the next millennium, it desires to combine the
challenges of advancing technology with the eternal values of artistry, creativity, and great
music. In so doing, those values will be strengthened to playas important a role in the future
as they have in the past. This has been articulated in a vision for the future by the
Symphony's artistic director, Michael Tilson Thomas.
To make this vision a reality, the NWS will develop a unique center--tentatively referred to
as the NWS Soundspace-for rehearsals, performances, educational and training activities,
and, most importantly, experimentation into ways in which music and technology can be
integrated into the service of creativity, musical training, and audience development. The
NWS Soundspace will go far beyond the traditional concert hall as a space in which to re-
imagine and re-invent the concert experience, and to network with other educational and
artistic organizations throughout the world.
The new facility, as currently envisioned, must have great performance flexibility integrated
with state-of-the-art electronic media capabilities. Flexibility would come by being able to
change not only the performers' physical arrangement, but their relationship to the audience
as well. Media capabilities must provide for radio and television broadcasting, recording,
image projection, interactive teleconferencing, and Internet transmission. The Soundspace,
while having a distinctive architectural identity, should be capable--through the use of
advanced lighting and other ambient technologies--of changing its identity or assuming
different identities which derive from the needs of the specific production or event. It must
be adaptable to future technologies as possible.
The Soundspace must be an acoustically superlative extension of the orchestral musical
instrument, and, as such, will make recording and broadcasting better and more efficient.
The facility's infrastructure should accommodate a hard-wired cabling system connecting the
performance space with the control centers and mobile television broadcast units. Careful
consideration must be given to the use of developing fiber-optic technology.

Financial Considerations
The New World Symphony, on its own, will secure funding from other sources including
government (state and federal monies), corporate (a high-tech company would be a likely
partner), individual (local board members, other supporters, and national/international
patrons of NWS), and foundations. Named-giving opportunities will be utilized as an
important incentive in the solicitation process.
The New World Symphony has a sold track-record of successful fundraising on a local,
national and international basis. There is every reason to feel that Michael Tilson Thomas;
vision--creating a state-of-the-art, technological laboratory for music education and
performance--will elicit the enthusiasm of current supporters, as well as the interest of new
patrons.
Mana~ement Structure
The completed project would be managed, operated, maintained and funded by NWS.
During the period of September through mid-May, when the full complement of ninety(90)
musician/fellows are in residence, the NWS will be the prime user of the facility. Other
users of the facility, such as not-far-profit organizations, Convention center exhibitors,
traveling and local orchestras and others will have an opportunity to use the facility, when
available.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRAFFIC IMPACT QUESTIONNAIRE AND TRIP
GENERATION \VORKSHEET
(DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION)
1. Fill out and answer all questions for traffic impacts regarding the proposed development or
project.
..,
Use trip generation form/worksheet to calculate the total of vehicle trips generated by proposed
development or project. The traditional methods of calculating forecasted trips has been to
apply a weighted average trip generation rate---i.e., multiply the number of trip ends per units
of the independent variable associated with the proposed development.
Example #1 : For a hotel with 575 rooms, calculate the total vehicle trips per occupied
rooms for a weekday.
A) First refer to the trip generation worksheet within this package. The trip rate for hotel
(weekday) is provided as follows:
Rate: T = 8.70 trips ends per occupied rooms (90% oftotal available)
B) Calculate vehicle trip ends using the rate:
T = 8.70 x {575 x .9):
= 8.70 x 517.5 occupied rooms (90%)
= 4,502 vehicle trip ends
C) A level III traffic impact study would be required for this development/project.
Example #2 : For a speciality retail/service store with 4,500 sq. ft., calculate the total
vehicle trips per 1,000 sq. ft. for a weekday.
A) First refer to the trip generation worksheet within this package. The trip rate for
speciality retail center (weekday) is provided as follows:
Rate: T = -1-0.67 trip ends per 1,000 sq. ft.
B) Calculate vehicle trip ends using the rate:
T = 40.67 x {4,500/1.000]
-W.67 x 4.5
= 183 vehicle trip ends
C) A level [ trat1ic impact study would be required for this development/project.
3. Determine which level of traffic impact study I, II or III will be required as part of your Design
Review Board or Joint Design ReviewIHistoric Preservation Board Application. based on your
total vehicle trips generated by proposed development. Please refer to the traffic impact study
requirement form, contained in this application package.
4. Alkr determining which level of traffic impact study that \\ill be required for the proposed
development/project. please contact Mr. Joseph Johnson of the Planning, Design and Historic
Preservation Division at (305) 673-7550, to discuss the boundaries of the impacted study area
along with the road\\ays to be analyzed.
5. If you cannot estimate your trip generation, consult with the Planning. Design and Historic
Preservation Division for assistance.
Note: If the proposed development or project will have its vehicular entrance and/or exit connected
to a State or County Road and \\ill need curb cuts, it will be required to show written proof
within the traffic impact study that the proper contact has be made with the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 6 - Permits Office or the Dade County Public
Works Department for the acquisition of a driveway permit.
