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. • DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS 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.

S43-156 TO: Mayor Neisen O.Kasdin and DATE:July 12,2000 Members of the City Commission FROM: Lawrence A.Le 11,4. • City Mana!3 SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING SUBJECT: AN O ' 1 ANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENTS OF PART II: GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES, OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED; BY ESTABLISHING TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT AREAS(TCMAS), AND ESTABLISHING AREAWIDE LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS FOR SPECIFIC ROADWAYS; DIRECTING TRANSMITTALS OF THIS ORDINANCE AND ALL APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS TO AFFECTED AGENCIES; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, AND INCLUSION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; AND FURTHER PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 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.
