INTRODUCTION
The following objections, recommendations and comments are based upon the
Department of Community Affairs' (Department) review of City of Miami Beach proposed
amendment to their comprehensive plan pursuant to s. 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
Objections relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Chapter 9J-5, Florida
Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. Each objection includes a
recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the cited objection. Other
approaches may be more suitable in specific situations. Some of these objections may have
initially been raised by one of the other external review agencies. If there is a difference between
the Department's objection and the external agency advisory objection or comment, the
Department's objection would take precedence.
Each of these objections must be addressed by the local government and corrected when
the amendment is resubmitted for our compliance review. Objections which are not addressed
may result in a determination that the amendment is not in compliance. The Department may
have raised an objection regarding missing data and analysis items which the local government
considers not applicable to its amendment. If that is the case, a statement justifying its
non-applicability pursuant to Rule 9J-5.002(2), F.A.C., must be submitted. The Department will
make a determination on the non-applicability of the requirement, and if the justification is
sufficient, the objection will be considered addressed.
The comments which follow the objections and recommendations section are advisory in
nature. Comments will not form bases of a determination of non-compliance. They are included
to call attention to items raised by our reviewers. The comments can be substantive, concerning
planning principles, methodology or logic, as well as editorial in nature dealing with grammar,
organization, mapping, and reader comprehensi6n.
Appended to the back of the Department's report are the comment letters from the other
state review agencies and other agencies, organizations and individuals. These comments are
advisory to the Department and may not form bases of Departmental objections unless they
appear under the "Objections" heading in this report.

OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS
FOR
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
Amendment 00-1
June 14, 2000
Division of Community Planning
Bureau of Local Planning
This report is prepared pursuant to Rule 9J-11.010
OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS
for
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
PROPOSED AMENDMENT 98-1ER
Transportation Concurrency Management Area
1. Potential Objection: Paragraph (a)4 of Rule 9J-5.0055(5), F.A.C., "Transportation
Concurrency Management Areas", requires that the designation of each transportation
concurrency management area and establishment of areawide level of service standards be
supported by data and analysis which demonstrates the basis for establishing the areawide level
of service standards. This amendment proposes LOS standards of D+20 and D+50; however, the
data and analysis provided for both existing and projected conditions do not justify adopting such
low standards for all three TCMAs. Furthermore, it is unclear how the data and analysis
included in Tables II-10 through 11-12 were derived since:
(1)the analysis does not identify the functional classification of applicable roads, number of lanes,
length of analysis segments, and other relevant physical configurations affecting capacity. The
analysis should identify and discuss these factors and indicate how they were used to determine
capacity and level of servcie standard.
(2)the analysis did not identify how future land use designations were used to project trip volumes.
(3) the analysis did not estimate how planned transit improvements will affect vehicular trips. .
[Section 16.3177(3)(a)3; Rule 9J-5.005(3), 9J-5.0055(5)(a)4., F.A.C.]
Recommendation: Include an analysis of existing and projected conditions that provides the
justification and basis for the LOS standard. Different TCMAs can have different LOS standards
depending on the circumstances specific to the TCMA. The data and analysis indicates that most
of the road segments are projected to operate above an averaged LOS "D" through 2010. Therefore,
averaging a LOS of"D" +20 and "D" + 50 does not seem necessary for these road segments. For
those roads that do not fall below an averaged LOS "D",the City should establish an areawide LOS
"D." For those road segments projected to operate below the areawide average of LOS "D", the
standard should accommodate projected traffic growth without including significant excess capacity.
In addition, the City should provide an explanation of how volumes and capacities were
calculated for Table II-10 through 1I-12. While the Department could calculate some of the volumes
using the Level of Service Manual (LMS), other volumes could not be determined. The analysis
should identify the input variables used to derive the LOS based on the LMS tables. Both are three
lane/one way roads. In addition, the analysis must include a justification for the length of the road
segments and descriptions of functional classifications,lanes,and physical configurations. Finally,
the analysis should explain how the future trip projections were generated using population
projections based on vacant land and redevelopment.
1
2. Potential Objection: The analysis does not provide a clear description of proposed intersection
improvements and other programs. The City has also not shown what impact planned roadway
improvements and other services and programs such as transportation systems management,
transportation demand management, and incentives to use public transit (such as parking policies
and intermodal terminals)will have on mobility. As discussed in Objection No. 1,once the vehicle-
reducing impact of these measures are factored into the LOS analysis it may be that future traffic •
conditions will not be as bad as now thought and such low LOS standards as those proposed will
not be necessary. In addition, all of the policies commit to pursuing various measures but provide
no specific implementing actions or dates for accomplishing these actions. [Rule 9J-5.003(89),9J-
5.005(6), and 9J-5.0055(5)(a)6 and (c), F.A.C.]
Recommendation: Provide a description of the proposed intersection improvements and other
programs. Include an analysis of how the improvements to alternative forms of transportation will •
reduce vehicular trips taking into consideration land use strategies to enhance alternative modes and
reduce reliance on single occupancy vehicles. The result may be that the operating conditions are
better than projected. Subsequent to the analysis, revise the policies as necessary to ensure that the
implementing actions and CIP commitments will maintain mobility. Also, as recommended in
Objection No. 1, re-assess the proposed LOS standards and revise as appropriate. Below is an
example of how the City could revise the policies.
Policy 6.11 could be rewritten an objective to state the City will expand the Electowave shuttle
service within the Middle Beach TCMA by October 2001. By October 2003, the Electrowave
shuttle service will be expanded into the North Beach TCMA. Such expansion should increase
Electrowave ridership by 30%. Implementing policies could be modified to state by October 2000,
the City shall begin researching grants and other funding options for Electrowave expansion into the
Middle Beach TCMA. By October 2002,the City shall begin researching grants and other funding
options for Electrowave expansion into the North Beach TCMA. When funding is granted,the City
will add the funding to the 5-year CIP at the nett available amendment cycle.
3. Potential Objection: The City has not provided a justification for the size and boundaries of the
Middle Beach and North Beach TCMA. The analysis does not demonstrate that the areawide LOS
standard applies only to facilities with similar functions serving common origins and destinations.
The City's analysis only focuses on land use and did not discuss how the combined roads had similar
functions serving similar origins and destinations. For example,it is unclear how Harding Street and
Collins Avenue,which are one-way streets heading in the opposite direction,have similar functions
when they do not go in the same direction,and therefore cannot provide alternate routes during the
peak morning and afternoon rush hours. The analysis does not demonstrate that viable alternative
paths and modes serve each TCMA. [Rule 9J-5.0055(5)(a); (5)(a)2 and 3, F.A.C.]
Recommendation: Provide a justification showing how the facilities within the Middle Beach and
North Beach TCMA perform similar functions and serve common origins and destinations. For
example, the City should explain how Harding Street and Collins Avenue have similar functions.
The City should describe how alternative paths and modes will function to relieve congested
2
roadways within each TCMA.
4. Potential Objection: The City utilized peak hour, bidirectional volumes rather than peak hour,
peak direction volumes for Tables II-10 through II-12. [Rule 9J-5.019(2)b)1, (3)(a), and (5)(b)4,
F.A.C.]
• Recommendation: Revise Tables II-10 through II-12 by utilizing peak direction volumes.
Conservation/Coastal Zone Element
These comments are provided by staff of the Florida Communities Trust and may serve to
help the City further improve chances of receiving grants.
1. Comment: Objective 5 uses the term "greenway" in such a way that it could include all of the
various trails and waterways listed. Objective 5 should be revised to state a"network of greenways"
including the various specific examples. Alternatively, Objective 5 could state a "network of
greenways and scenic open space and vistas including..."
2. Comment: Policy 5.1 should be more action oriented and describe what will be accomplished.
The City may want to designate on a map the various corridors and incorporate compatibility reviews
in the development review process.
Consistency with the State Comprehensive Plan
The above cited amendments do not further and are not consistent with the following goals
and policies of the State Comprehensive Plan (Rule 9J-5.021 and 9J-11.006(3), F.A.C.):
a. Chapter 187.201(12)(b)3, and 4 (Energy)
b. Chapter 187.201(20)(b)2, 3, 8, 9, and 10 (Transportation)
Recommendation
Revise the above cited amendments as recommended for the objections raised above.

The following information describes the action of the Planning Board at its most recent meeting,at •
which the Board reviewed the amendment for the second time:
•
The Planning Board voted 4-3 to recommend approval of the proposed TCMA amendment at its
June 27, 2000 meeting. While the Planning Board expressed general approval of the overall
concept,several Board members had concerns relating to the increase in vehicular traffic on the
City's roadways, and the need for more community input on individual roadway plans. The need
for more alternative modes of transportation was also a concern.
Please include this information in your Commission memo in order to inform the Commission of
the Planning Board's latest recommendation and comments. You might check with Judy Hoanshelt;
I believe that Commission items are due in the Manager's office very soon.
Also, the Planning Board had wanted to see a copy of the Department of Community Affairs
Objections, Recommendations and Comments(ORC)Report. I suggest that you include a copy of
the ORC report with your Commission memo.
Thanks again for the presentation at the Planning Board meeting..

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Ordinance.
ANALYSIS
This Ordinance was approved on First Reading at the March 15, 2000 City Commission Meeting,
and the proposed Transportation Concurrency Management Area(TCMA)amendments to the Miami
Beach Comprehensive Plan were forwarded to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for
review.
DCA responded on June 14, 2000, via the Objections, Recommendations and Comments Report
(ORC Report), attached hereto as Exhibit A. The objections were technical in nature and had to
do with the methodology used for averaging the potential traffic impacts on the arterial and collector
roads. At a subsequent meeting, the matter was resolved to DCA's satisfaction, pending DCA's
receipt of a written version of the responses that were orally agreed to at the meeting. A draft
response is being prepared by Carr Smith Corradino,the consulting firm that developed the TCMA
guidelines and objectives in the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Board, at its meeting of June 27, 2000, once again reviewed and voted 4-3 to
recommend approval of the proposed TCMA Amendment, which is herein submitted to the Mayor
and City Commission for Second Reading Public Hearing.
AGENDA ITEM
DATE
July 12, 2000
Commission Memorandum
TCMA Amendment to Comprehensive Plan '
Page 2
While the Planning Board expressed general approval of the TCMA concept, some Board members
had concerns relating to the potential increase in vehicular traffic on the City's roadways, and the
` need for more community input on individual roadway plans. Also of concern was the need for more
alternative modes of transportation. (Exhibit B)
Rule 9J-5.0055(5), Florida Administrative Code, allows local governments to establish
transportation concurrency management areas(TCMAs)within selected portions of urban areas. The
purpose of a TCMA is to provide an alternative transportation concurrency management approach
that promotes infill development or redevelopment in a manner supporting the provision of efficient
mobility alternatives. In addition,the proposed TCMAs take into account and meet the hurricane
evacuation standards imposed by the State, County, and City.
As one of the most urban cities within the State,the City of Miami Beach contains little vacant land,
is almost entirely built-out, and has seen increased rehabilitation and redevelopment. A popular
international travel destination, the City contains historic architecture, numerous dining/shopping
options, cultural amenities and beaches. As a result of the above factors, the City has experienced
increased roadway congestion. However, within Miami Beach exists the potential for continuing
and building upon the successful mobility options currently experienced within the City, among
them:
+ The Municipal Mobility Plan (MMP) recommended projects that identify transportation
improvements to enhance mobility throughout the City. Several of these projects are already
programmed for implementation by either the Florida Department of Transportation(FDOT),
or by the City, utilizing funds provided for the purpose in the General Obligation Bond
Program, by developers mitigation fees, and grant awards.
+ The existing and future transit options provided by an expanded Electrowave Shuttle service
and by the Miami-Dade Transit Agency (MDTA) bus routes. The existing Electrowave
route has carried over 1.25 million passengers/year in South Beach,and the existing MDTA
bus service (13 routes) carry approximately 8 million passengers/year, to, from, and within
Miami Beach.
+ The alternative mobility options (such as bicycling, rollerblading, and walking)which are
widely accepted by certain segments of the Miami Beach population.
The boundaries of the City's TCMAs reflect the areas of the City which contain transportation
challenges as well as opportunities. These areas contain future land use categories that support
mobility. This includes medium and high density residential, and other medium intensity
commercial and public facilities.
July 12, 2000
Commission Memorandum
TCMA Ordinance-Second Reading
Page 3
In an effort to address the City's growth management challenges,and to ensure that its accessibility,
sustainability, livability and mobility needs are not compromised, the Administration seeks to
designate three potential transportation concurrency management areas in the City, as follows: the
South Beach TCMA,the Middle Beach TCMA,and the North Beach TCMA. These TCMAs would
establish an areawide level of service standard(LOS)incorporating the availability of nearby transit
for specified roadway facilities, as well as adopt an overall plan (strategies and policies) for the
management of traffic congestion within its boundaries.
The Administration and the Planning Board recommend that the Mayor and City Commission adopt
the Ordinance.
