ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS On October 18, 2000, the Mayor and City Commission authorized negotiations with architectural and engineering firms to a conduct site analysis and develop a concept plan for the 17th Street and Washington Avenue Site, incorporating the proposed expansion of the New World Symphony (NWS). The scope of services was envisioned as a two-phase conceptual development project which focused on the City owned 17th Street and Washington Avenue surface parking lots as developmental hubs for the City CenterlHistoric Convention Village Redevelopment Area. This area includes City Hall, the Convention Center, Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts, Botanical Gardens and Holocaust Memorial, as well as pedestrian linkages to Lincoln Road and the Collins Park Cultural Center. On February 21, 2001, the City Commission authorized negotiations with Zyscovich, Inc. and, on April 18,2001, the City Commission authorized the execution of a contract with Zyscovich to undertake Phase I. Phase I involves a site study, utilization analysis and development of preliminary concept designs. Deliverables include a site utilization report AGENDA ITEM J17,K DATE /o-/7-d/ October 17, 2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" street Site - Master Plan Page2of12 and preliminary concept plan that addresses the needs of the Convention Center and the NWS, evaluates parking and transportation requirements, respects the need for an open space public plaza, identifies opportunities for gateway entrance features, evaluates the need and location of an Intermodal Center, and complements the adjacent urban relationships and historic districts. Exhibit A lists the groups with which Zyscovich has met to discuss or gather information pertinent to the site utilization study for Phase I. On September 14, 2001, Zyscovich introduced Phase I site utilization options during a Joint Board Workshop of the Planning, Historic Preservation and Design Review Board. On September 21, 2001, a Special City Commission Workshop was held and input was received from the Mayor and City Commission. These comments are reflected in the outline below. The City Commission comments received at the workshop held on September 21, 2001 have been incorporated in the options and other issues outlined below. During Phase II, these issues will be addressed and will guide the creation of a Master Plan that will update the 1993 City Center/Historic Hotel Convention District Redevelopment Plan. Phase II will also incorporate the development of an implementation strategy. Zyscovich will focus on this strategy in detail by evaluating potential growth and future urban needs for the City's office market, hospitality, entertainment, arts and cultural industries and identifying potential components that will enhance the economic viability and long term sustainability of the surrounding area. This process will involve additional sub-consultants in fields including, but not limited to, parking, hospitality, trafficltransportation, landscaping and finance. At this time, it is recommended that the City Administration proceed to negotiate with the New World Symphony regarding their proposed expansion, "Sound Space", a technologically advanced recording and communications facility. The work performed in Phase II will result in preliminary schematics and drawings, identifying complimentary uses for the site, so the City can to set forth a development schedule and identify funding and respective construction obligations to begin implementation of the project. Phase II will also include extensive community/stakeholder outreach and consensus building and will attempt to address the other components of the master plan that have not yet been finalized. Below is a description of the primary components of the preliminary proposed master plan, outlining the existing use, proposed use, design review process required, funding alternatives, options for each component and other issues affecting the preliminary proposed master plan. October 17,2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" Street Site - Master Plan Page 3 of 12 17TH STREET SITE Existing Use: 506 Surface parking spaces Proposed Use: In order to create a centrally located civic park with community cultural influences, the eastem 50% of the 1 rn Street site has been identified as a sloping, terraced park that can be used as an amphitheater. The park would have in it NWS Sound Space Building that would incorporate a large size LCD screen on the fac;:ade facing the park to show recordings happening inside the sound vault and to display cultural events from around the world. There would also be a smaller terrace park on the West side of the site. Access to the site from the Convention Center would involve walking through a portion of the new Botanical Gardens surrounding TOPA, or alternate development, across the re- vegetated 17th Street Boulevard and into the site which welcomes the visitor with a rising, green lawn and a gently sloping ramp. Continuing through the site over Lincoln Lane and down the pedestrian end of Drexel Avenue, is a cascading stairway that would create a threshold to Lincoln Road. If an elevated park is developed, the ramp would take the visitor up to a height of 12 feet where the lobby to Sound Space and the upper terraces of the two parks are located. If park is developed at grade, a terraced staircase would be developed and the entryway to Lincoln Road would be at grade. Zoning: Section 142-362: CCC Civic and Convention Center District Main permitted uses in the CCC civic and convention center district are parking lots, garages, performing arts and cultural facilities; hotel; merchandise mart; commercial or office development; landscape open space; parks.

The site should allow for approximately 33, 000 square feet of program on the ground floor and a October 17,2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" Street Site - Master Plan Page4of12 height of approximately 60 feet. The program would include the large LCD screen on the building fayade as a community amenity. . If it is decided to unify the two sides of the site, to allocate park space to the pedestrian it will be necessary to authorize the termination of Drexel Avenue to automobile traffic at the South side of Lincoln Road. . Determine the amount of parking that should be located on the site parking structure. . Displaced parking must be addressed in (A) City HalllEquity One lot or (B) Plot, andlor (C) on the western portion of the 17th Street lot. . Parking bond covenants may apply. .

Proposed Use: The Convention Center expansion in the "preferred lot" would allow for approximately 208,400 square feet of additional exhibition space, and approximately 1 ,900 parking spaces in a four story parking structure above, representing approximately a net increase of 1,100 spaces. In order for the Convention Center expansion and garage to work efficiently, a speed ramp to the garage is proposed to be located in the Northeast corner of the current Botanical Gardens. This condition along with the desire to better integrate the Gardens into the heart of the community spurred the relocation of the Botanical Gardens to the small parking lot behind and the land surrounding the TOPA. This move would create a gateway to the re-vegetated 1 rh Street corridor and rejuvenate the block on which the TOPA is located. Zoning: Section 142-362: CCC Civic and Convention Center District Main permitted uses in the CCC civic and convention center district are parking lots, garages, performing arts and cultural facilities; hotel; merchandise mart; commercial or office development; landscape open space; parks. Any use not listed, shall only be approved after the city commission holds a public hearing. Design Review Process: ORB approval will be required. Funding: Convention Development Tax (COT) Options: .

Ramp tied into Botanical Gardens and loading dock and servicing of new convention hall will have to be evaluated. DREXEL AVENUE Existing Use: Two-way vehicle and pedestrian access-way between 17th Street and Espanola Way. Proposed Use: To create the connection between Lincoln Road and Espanola Way, the roadway it is proposed that Drexel Avenue be narrowed enough to add street trees and widen sidewalks. Parallel parking would remain and improvements would extend from Lincoln Road, South, to the dead end of Drexel Avenue, just past Espanola Way. The beautification of Drexel Avenue would encourage pedestrian activity to flow from Lincoln Road to Espanola Way and vice versa, linking the two areas of activity together through two blocks of historic Art Deco neighborhood. Zoning: Design Review Process: Historic Preservation Board approval will be required. Funding: City Center Tax Increment Funds, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds, andlor CDT. Options: . Close Drexel Avenue. . No Closure of Drexel Avenue. . Partial Closure; closing Drexel Avenue at Lincoln Lane. . One Way Drexel Avenue. Other: . Perform traffic study to analyze effects of options. . In order to unify the two sides of the site and to allocate park space to the pedestrian, it will be necessary to authorize the termination of Drexel Avenue to automobile traffic at the South side of Lincoln Road. . The street beautification would need to be incorporated into the city's plans to improve Espanola Way and the intersection at Drexel Avenue, to extend down the length of Drexel Avenue. October 17, 2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" street Site - Master Plan Page 7 of 12 OPENING.UP LINCOLN LANE TO WASHINGTON AVENUE Existing Use: Lincoln Lane is presently closed at the Washington Avenue intersection. Proposed Use: Open the intersection at Lincoln Lane onto Washington Avenue. Zoning: N/A Design Review Process: Historic Preservation Board approval will be required. Funding: City Center tax increment funds. Options: . Maintain Lincoln Lane closed onto Washington Avenue . Open Lincoln Lane onto Washington Avenue Other: . Opening of intersection will be dependent on park design BOTANICAL GARDENS RELOCATION Existing Use: Currently located adjacent to the Holocaust Memorial, fronting the Convention Center. TOPA lot contains approximately 112 parking spaces and serves the Convention CenterlTOPA valet lot. Proposed Use: Relocate Botanical Gardens, which is undergoing an extensive renovation and new construction, to the existing TOPA lot. TOPA lot must provide a pedestrian linkage from Convention Center to Lincoln Road. Even if Botanical Gardens is not relocated, an alternative plan for the 555ITOPA site would need to be developed. Therefore, the Botanical Gardens relocation is optimal solution, particularly in light of the Botanical Gardens' planned existing building demolition and reconstruction of a new building and new landscaping plan and boundary issue with Holocaust Memorial. Zoning: Section 142-362: CCC Civic and Convention Center District Main permitted uses in the CCC civic and convention center district are parking lots, garages, performing arts and cultural facilities; hotel; merchandise mart; commercial or office development; landscape open space; parks. Any use not listed, shall only be approved after the city commission holds a public hearing. Design Review Process: ORB approval will be required. Funding: COT, Center Tax Increment Funds, State Cultural Facilities Grant, Voluntary Contributions, Fundraising Campaign by Garden Conservancy. October 17, 2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" Street Site - Master Plan Page 8 of 12 Options: . Relocate Gardens to TOPA lot . Retain Gardens at its current site . Identify other anchor facility to provide linkage between Convention Center, 17th Street site and Lincoln Road. Other: . Declination study must be performed on new site. . Relocation cost benefit analysis must be performed . State Cultural Facilities Grant funding in the amount of $500,000 is in jeopardy if funds are not encumbered, Le. contractor hired and design completed, by October 2002 (less than 12 months from now) . New use of existing site will need to be determined . Proposed new location for the Botanical Gardens will cause: . Displaced parking . Displaced building users that need to be accommodated. . Operation and maintenance of facility will need to be negotiated beyond the current Management Agreement with the Garden Conservancy . Planning Board review will be required if the Botanical Gardens facility is leased . Landscape/Streetscape Design for Convention Center Drive will need to be developed BUS ROUTE CHANGES Existing Use: The bus routes have been changed as a result of the Collins Avenue reconstruction project. The proposed route changes are primarily consistent with the temporary routes in place at this time. Proposed Use: The current location of the bus transfer area on Lincoln Road creates an inefficient loop at the midpoint or end of several bus routes, and creates traffic congestion at the end of Lincoln Road. The suggestion is to move the transfer area for all bus routes to the blocks on Washington Avenue between Lincoln Road and 18th Street, and along 1 Jlh Street between Washington Avenue and Pennsylvania. Moving the transfer area to these locations would also place the activity of bus patrons closer to the proposed 17th Street park, the relocated Botanical Gardens, TOPA, and City Hall. Other: . Immediate action recommended because of Collins Avenue closure has resulted in temporary new bus routes that are recommended to remain in place. . City Commission action affirming endorsement of new bus routes as October 17, 2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" street Site - Master Plan Page 9 of 12 permanent and fOlWard said recommendation to MOTA. . A letter of recommendation for adjustments to the bus routes should be written to the Miami Dade Transit Authority authorizing implementation of the proposed changes. . Bus node on Washington Avenue and 17th Street will not be located in front of Greenview Hotel. LINCOLN ROAD STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN WASHINGTON AVENUE AND COLLINS AVENUE: Concept: Improve Lincoln Road Streetscape between Washington and Collins Avenues creating median and pedestrian crossovers. Design Review Process: Historic Preservation Board approval will be required Funding: City Center tax increment funds. Options: Other: . Contingent on relocation of Bus Routes . Tie-in with Ritz-Carlton streetscape improvements . The Lincoln Road Extension Improvements could be made part of the overall street beautification plans including 16th and 15th Streets. ELIMINATION OF INTERMODAL OPTION Concept: City's Consultant recommends that there is not a need for an intermodal facility as described below. Funding: Federal monies to partially fund an Intermodal facility have been secured. Options: . Do not construct an intermodal facility. . Construct an intermodal facility. Other: . Subject to Carr Smith Intermodal Feasibility Study. . Tied into Light Rail Study. . Must identify the location of the shuttle charging station. . If the 17th Street and Lenox Avenue site is more desirable, then it should also be determined if a parking deck should be built above the charging facility, and any additional buildings for small retail shops as buffers. October 17, 2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" Street Site - Master Plan Page 100'12 SHUTTLE CHARGING STATION Existing Use: Currently located at Terminal Island within Fleet Maintenance facility. Proposed Use: After careful review of the intermodal study, the City's consultant has determined that there is not a need for such a large facility in South Beach. There is however, a need for a convenient location of an Electrowave Shuttle charging station. Two potential locations for this charging station were identified: the first on 17'" Street and Lenox Avenue which would have a parking deck above, the second could be located in the City Hall expansion and garage on 18th Street and Meridian Avenue on the City Hall side of the expansion site. Both of these locations can easily be worked into the current shuttle routes with minimal changes, either location would also provide for convenient access to fresh batteries needed to keep the shuttles operating properly. Zoning: Site specific. Design Review Process: Design Review approval will be required. Funding: Some FederallState funding is available. Options: . Locate charging station adjacent to City Hall . Locate charging station at Lenox Avenue & 17th Street lot. . Other alternative location subject to Electrowave long range plan. Other: . Long range plan for Electrowave needs to completed, pending its one year review. . Alternative - incorporate into structure if built and then abandoned. . FTA approval may be required. . If the City Hall expansion site is more appropriate for the charging facility, then there will be a need for a greater commitment to the program of the garage and office spaces with the charging station below. PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE AND 17TH STREET GARAGE Existing Use: 1407 space parking garage. Proposed Use: A potential location for an open marketplace has been located at the city garage on Pennsylvania Avenue. The addition of this market would add to the street life and interest of the walk to Lincoln Road from the North. By removing the pre-cast panels on the ground floor at the first bay of parking spaces, sheltered stalls could be created within the garage structure. The market place would be for artists and farmers currently selling their artwork, jewelry, produce on the street and give a location from which they October 17,2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" Street Site - Master Plan Page 11 of 12 could conduct more consistent business. This change to the garage is a very simple physical alteration, and only results in a loss of 20 parking spaces however; by merely adding another use to the stagnant garage structure, the quality of street life would be dramatically improved along Pennsylvania Avenue. Zoning: Section 142-362: CCC Civic and Convention Center District Main permitted uses in the CCC civic and convention center district are parking lots, garages, performing arts and cultural facilities; hotel; merchandise mart; commercial or office development; landscape open space; parks. Any use not listed, shall only be approved after the city commission holds a public hearing. Design Review Process: DRB approval will be required. Funding: CDT, Parking Revenue Bonds, City Center tax increment funds. Options: . Create marketplace stalls and displace 20 spaces . Leave garage "as is" Other: . Planning Board approval if leases are entered into . Need to investigate how the market stalls would be created . Structural report on garage is being conducted and will need to study if head room is sufficient in light of structural beam on 1st floor . Displaced parking - loose 20 spaces . Bond issues may need to be addressed . Need to investigate tax exempt status of the facility as a result of private use. POTENTIAL SEQUENCY OF MASTER PLAN COMPONENTS . Create parking adjacent to City Hall to address displaced parking on 17th Street. . Develop 17th Street west lot with NWS and parking. . P-Iot Convention Center Expansion construction will require decision on relocation of Botanical Gardens because of TaPA and Convention Center Drive. . P-Iot design tied to Botanical Gardens relocation because of ramp placement. . Botanical Gardens permanent location will need to be determined as soon as possible so as not to jeopardize state grant funds. If the Gardens are not relocated, an altemate ramp will need to be incorporated in P-Lot structure. . Once P-Iot is developed, the balance of the east side of 17th Street lot can be developed. . Bus Route changes must be approved in order to pursue Lincoln Road Streetscape October 17, 2001 Commission Memorandum 17'" Street Site - Master Pian Page 12 of 12 improvements and can be initiated independent of other items. . Shuttle charging station must be addressed if City Hall and Equity One parking garage is bu i1t. . Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street Garage market retail can be initiated independent of other items contingent upon structural analysis currently being performed on garage. CONCLUSION Other issues will be preliminarily addressed in Phase II such as the need to expand City Hall for administrative office space, defining a buffer zone with Holocaust Memorial, streetscape improvements for Convention Center Drive, streetscape improvements for 16th Street east-west corridor, potential re-zoning of 17th Street, analysis of the 21st Street Community Center and establishment of Dade Boulevard Traffic Circles. At this time, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission accept the preliminary proposed master plan for the 17th Street site, attached hereto and incorporated by reference; directing the administration to finalize and refine said preliminary proposed master plan as phase II of the study, for presentation to the planning board for subsequent final adoption by the Mayor and City Commission; directing the administration to negotiate with the NWS to proceed with its expansion project; and further authorizing the administration to formally request Miami-Dade Transit Authority bus route changes consistent with the preliminary proposed master plan.
