OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY-1700 CONVENTION CENTER DRIVE-MIAMI BEACH,FLORIDA 33139
1. The Amended Development Order contemplates, by its
own terms, reconsideration by the City Commission
of the continued vitality of the Order if
significant physical development does not occur in
the area subject to the Order within two (2) years
of February 7 , 1979.
2. Significant physical development pursuant to the
Amended Development Order has not commenced or
occurred within said two (2) year period or to this
date on the property subject to the Order.
3 . The revised Redevelopment Plan adopted by the City
Commission on February 15, 1984, approved by the
Dade County Commission on September 18, 1984 and
currently in effect, abandons the "master
developer" concept incorporated in the prior
redevelopment plan which required development of
regional impact review.
4. The revised Redevelopment Plan is not a
"development" as defined pursuant to Fla. Stat.
Ch. 380 and, therefore, by definition cannot be a
development of regional impact subject to Fla.
Stat. § 380. 06.
NOW THEREFORE, BY IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH: that, pursuant to Fla. Stat. § 380 .06 ,

the revised South Pointe Redevelopment Plan, and the property
which is the subject of that Plan and the Amended Development

Authority and the Florida Department of Transportation
as well as the Cityof MiamiP
Beach, Division of

o ida Statute, Chapter
323 and the appropriate Ordinance of the Cityof
Miami Beach and the Metropolitan
p litan Dade County
relating to transportation.
18 . The applicant should consult with the Metropolitan
Dade CountyTransit P
Authority (MTA) to determine
whether the MTA will be adversely affected bythe

proposed mini-bus system. If
negative impacts will result , the applicant should
