These past years have been no exception. The pandemic has shown us once again that as a community we are resilient and able to adapt but what does the future hold? This document is intended to envision what that future might be like if we would look at all the important influences comprehensively. The ideas presented in this vision plan represent the integrated thinking of multiple disciplines and experts all pulling in the direction of protecting, leveraging and reimagining the assets of the world- renowned Art Deco Cultural District. It is a vision plan not a design document and needs to be considered within the framework of high-level thinking intended to be evaluated and implemented as a blueprint for moving forward. Visualizations and illustrations are intended to illustrate the concept and not necessarily to indicate a preferred design solution. Although it articulates ideas by subject it is vital to appreciate that these parts are all interdependent and together create the complete vision. For the sake of digesting the information we have also included a matrix of “action items”. The Art Deco Historic District is the iconic image of Miami Beach in the eyes of the world, although it seems we exist in a paradoxical time. While to some it may appear as though things are not going well, with unruly behaviour and logistical problems, the opposite is also true; Miami Beach is internationally known and have never been more highly valued. Some of the most well-known names in private equity and tech have started to call the City home in the past two years, recent redevelopment of new hotels have been successful, and property values have never been higher. The City of Miami Beach (“City”) needs to leverage the ongoing success of the area to envision a district that can effectively accommodate the interests of the hotels, hospitality industry, visitors, workers, and residents, and further elevate Miami Beach’s status as a global destination. THE VISION PLAN As a result of the visioning process, a plan has been developed which encourages the transformation of the Art Deco Cultural District (ADCD), emphasizing the importance of walkable development throughout the District. This document contains a compilation of maps, diagrams, images, and text describing recommendations on a broad range of topics including potential district management approach, urban design character, Lummus Park expansion, transportation concepts, and potential changes in the land use, zoning and incentives for the Vision Area and emphasizes the need for such things as well-designed buildings and streetscapes, open space, limited vehicle access zones with slower traffic, and new bicycle routes. The study area includes the city blocks and corridors between 5th Street to the South, 17th Street to the North, Lummus Park to the East, and Washington Avenue to the West. The Art Deco Cultural District Vision Plan is developed on the foundation of 6 principles: 1. Protect the character and history 2. Rebalance hotel, hospitality industry and residential activities 3. Expand the physical landscape by creating a great park and public spaces 4. Create a comprehensive transit and mobility plan 5. Enhance the character, quality, and value of the street activity during times of day/night 6. Manage density and be welcoming of all people KEY CONCEPTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE VISION PLAN 1. EXPAND THE PHYSICAL LANDSCAPE BY CREATING A GREAT PARK, PUBLIC SPACES AND CULTURAL OFFERINGS The project intends to reimagine the entire space from the front porch of the Ocean Drive buildings to the existing dunes as the park. Approximately 15 acres of hardpack between the serpentine wall and the dune should be incorporated into the overall park design. By doubling the size of the park and providing mobility options within the space we can provide for all modes of movement that will satisfy all of the functional aspects of access. The new approach to the park will bring nature closer into the City, integrating the beach and dune into the park as a resilient landscape space. Under the premise of connectivity, the park will increase its transparency, will allow users to see and be seen, as part of the historic character of Ocean Drive. Access to the park will be facilitated and more program opportunities will activate areas otherwise unused. There is an opportunity to take advantage of Lummus Park, which is an exceptional space but is currently underutilized, and by doubling its size, facilitate many programming opportunities such as recreation, arts and culture, select limited high quality commercial opportunities, as well as support space for City functions and events. The side streets if likewise re-imagined, would offer additional planting space providing shade, visual interest, and additional drainage infiltration areas for stormwater. Landscape corridors could bring pollinators and other species back to the City, and potentially tie everything together and connect park and City as part of a larger ecosystem. The overarching objective is to re-imagine Lummus park and bring the landscape west throughout the District. 2. ESTABLISH A CONSERVANCY TO MANAGE LUMMUS PARK AND POTENTIALLY THE OVERALL DISTRICT A Conservancy, an independent 501c3 organization, could be set up to manage the park on behalf of the City. A diverse board bridging private, public, and civic sectors will ensure the Conservancy’s mission best serves the public’s interest. A specific management agreement with the City will establish its scope of action. It will fundraise from several sources and increase the resources available to the park. Its professional staff, dedicated to Lummus Park, will offer a world- class park experience to visitors. Over time, this organization could increase its responsibilities in the overall neighborhood, managing deliveries, waste, security, and events. 3. CREATE A BALANCED TRANSIT AND MOBILITY PLAN It is intended to prepare for the future mobility needs of the District by taking advantage of proposed high-capacity transit connections to the mainland, managing parking availability through parking and curbside management strategies, and re-purposing roadway space to provide safe and comfortable facilities to priority users, including people walking and biking in the District. The proposed multimodal corridor planning study, led by the City, would satisfy FDOT and Miami-Dade County requirements while identifying the feasibility, project development and engineering (PD&E), and preferred alternative concept designs associated with the transit and mobility plan recommendations. Executive Summary DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 7 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH Restricted Vehicle Access The purpose is to create a pedestrian/bicycle priority area by deprioritizing automobiles in the District. The restricted vehicular zone East of Washington Avenue is proposed in one of two (2) ways: congestion charging and/or restricted access. Ocean Drive – Park + Pedestrian Street The intention is for Ocean Drive to be a pedestrian priority street with extremely wide sidewalks next to the buildings and to feel as if it is part of the park. The street should be designed as an infrequent vehicle movement/ low-capacity road and not intended for through trips. With drop-off zones in each block that would allow for passengers to be picked up/drop-off closer to the buildings. Collins Avenue – Shared Transit Street Collins Avenue is intended as the shared local transit street with a circulator that would allow local north-south movement within the District. This street is proposed to have the same number of existing through lanes but envisioned as a curbless (woonerf) road that provides local transit access, with vehicles driving next to people biking and/or walking. Washington Avenue – District Access Transit Street The proposal intends to have dedicated bus lanes in the middle of the street with either bus stations, median/ landscaping or left turn lanes, that can be used as needed strategically along the corridor. Outside of those, there would be one through lane and protected raised cycle track on both sides of the street in separate directions as well as curbside usage on the East side of the street, which includes on-street parking, loading zone, ride-share spaces, and pickup/drop-off zones. 5th Street + Lincoln Road – Transit Plaza/ Transfer Station The basis for this proposal is to bring the high-capacity transit connection (The Beach Corridor) to the intersection of 5th Street and Washington Avenue, so that it is near the beach access and activity areas of the District. It would also be the area where we start to implement the restricted vehicles access. During the interim condition, even without the transit in place, this zone can still become a limited vehicular access zone. The Lincoln Road Transit Mall and Transfer Station is proposed to have transit- only lanes (transit mall) and the transfer station in the center of the street with through lanes on each side. East/ West Connection – One Way Streets It is proposed to make the East-West streets as one-way pairs versus two- way traffic. One-way streets provide additional room for expanding one side of the sidewalk and separated bike lanes, improving the landscape, prioritizing walking and biking facilities, and providing for loading zones and commercial vehicle circulation, and pick-up/drop-off/valet zones between Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive. 4. BALANCE INTEREST OF PROPERTY & BUSINESS OWNERS, RESIDENTS AND VISITORS & GENERATE INCENTIVES AND RESTRICTIONS TO GUIDE AND IMPLEMENT DESIRED POLICIES The Zoning Incentives Recommendations for Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive in the MXE District will serve to assist the City in implementing the goals and objectives of the ADCD Vision Plan. The intent of the proposed changes to the existing MXE zoning designation is to balance the needs and maintain the character of Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue but allow targeted and strategic zoning incentives that would encourage people to quickly reinvest in the properties while protecting the historic character of the District. DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH8 DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 9 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH The Art Deco Cultural District Vision Study Area includes the city blocks and corridors between 5th Street to the South, 17th Street to the North, Lummus Park to the East, and Washington Avenue to the West. The physical characteristics of the main corridors within the Art Deco Cultural District, such as Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue and Washington Avenue, are all very different from each other and will require independent review as to their character and development potential. The Mixed-Use Entertainment district (“MXE”) is situated at the center of the Study Area and the Community Redevelopment Agency (“CRA”) boundary line is to the North. There is an overlap between the ADCD Study Area, the MXE and the CRA boundary line.

HERE DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH12 To look backwards will help inform our look forward. Miami Beach has been known for a series of cycles throughout history that has given the City its identity. Currently, we are going through another cycle, and it is not a unique moment in time. The cycles of development in the City of Miami Beach can be appreciated by decade, from 1920 to the present day. Between 1930 to 1939 there was a significant amount of construction that occurred in the area, with over two million (2,000,000) square feet of development. Tourism hit a high point in the 1950’s and flourished into the 1960’s. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, the Beach was known for having retirees and elderly people vacationing in the oceanfront hotels. During the 1970’s and early 1980’s, South Beach felt as if it had no identity and there were efforts to demolish much of the City’s distinctive art deco architecture and replace it with new urban development. In 1976, Barbara Capitman led the charge for Miami Beach building preservation. The Miami Beach Architectural District was established in 1979, and by 1986 the Miami Beach City Commission created the first two historic preservation districts. The districts covered Española Way and most of Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue in South Beach. During the early 1980’s there was a major Cuban exodus from Cuba to Miami and Miami Beach. A large population of prisoners were released from Cuba and sent to the United States in the Mariel Boatlift. By 1981, Miami was the murder capital of America with the highest violent crime rate in the nation. In late 1980’s and early 1990’s, the LGBTQ community were pioneers in helping turn around the blighted Miami Beach. It soon became the fun and creative international destination that South Beach is known as today. Later, Miami Beach was visible all over the world for its models, artists, celebrities, and photographers. The city took a downturn during the beginning of the HIV/AIDS crisis, when the city was also going through financial problems. Now Miami Beach is characterized by its annual events. Art Basel Miami Beach, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, the Winter Music Conference/Miami Music Week, and many others fill the area with visitors throughout the year. HOW DID WE GET HERE?

The way to recover when already at the top is to elevate the quality of the experience. Miami Beach needs to be re-inventing, recreating, and adding to the elements that made the City what it is. Miami Beach is internationally known and well regarded in many respects, including in terms of the beach, the opportunities with new brands coming into the city, redevelopment of new hotels, and high property values. So, what can be done to alleviate the negative aspects of the Beach without harming all of the features that have lifted the City to the pinnacle of success? WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE FOR THE USER AND THE CITY? ARE THEY DIFFERENT? • Family destination • Food and drink • Historic district • Residential district • Late night clubs and music • Hotel district • Shows • Natural barrier island • All of the above WHERE ARE WE NOW?

In figure 2, the blue line illustrates the hotel/motel average price per square foot from 1981–2021, the orange line is the commercial sales average price per square foot from 1981–2020, and the pink line is the Miami Beach violent crimes per 100,000 population from 2000–2018 (2000 is when the FBI began tracking data for this District). The figure clearly shows the increase in property value and daily room nights, and the decrease in violent crimes during these periods. The data shows that since 1981, the property value increased tremendously in 1991-1992 which is when the Loews Hotel announced it was coming to the City, the Convention Center (CRA) was created, and when Fortune 500 investments started being made in the City. But it also shows the crime rate has been steadily declining since 2005. Notwithstanding the perception of where the City stands now, statistically, it is in a very successful position with crime that has decreased over the years. EXPECTATIONS: WHAT IS THE TIMEFRAME?

How do we climb out this time? DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH18 Lambert Advisory looked at the broad range of uses to understand what the demand is in the city and particularly within the MXE district. RESIDENTIAL MARKET OPPORTUNITY. The rental demand has far outpaced supply for a very long time. Since 2012, the city has had only one new development with more than twenty (20) rental units. Every other new development during that time, that has been specifically designed for rental, has been on small properties with less than ten (10) units. There has been virtually no rental development that has occurred in the past decade. On the condominium side, since 2016, there has been between 500-600 condominium units built, which is also a very conservative amount considering the demand in the area. RESIDENTIAL HEADLINES • Substantial condominium residential demand for the foreseeable future in all areas of Miami Beach • Rental construction activity has been non-existent given the strength of the for-sale market but significant pent-up demand exists • Areas of the city with proximity to the beach have continually outperformed other areas in terms of pricing. • With the exception of constraints which exist for nearly every use, modern residential units would sell and/or lease very well if allowed within the district. OFFICE MARKET OPPORTUNITY Similarly with office space, since 2010-2011, the city has only seen about 84,000 square feet of new office space added into the market. There has been a deficit of office space given the demand, and notwithstanding anything that has happened in the past year in terms of the increased rentals from the tech and financial communities, the demand for office space still exceeds available inventory. OFFICE HEADLINES • Strong performance of office sector in Miami Beach compared to the County market overall over the past year. • Absorption has been modest but partially a result of a lack of product. Demand exists but is still relatively modest. • High land values in City’s commercial districts due to strength of tourism and local resident demand for services has encouraged new office development to be built outside of the City. • To the extent that the technology and finance sectors continue to drive local demand, these users are not as price sensitive as it relates to occupancy cost if they want to be in a particular location. • Two drivers of location decision for office: • Where the local chief executive lives • For tech and professional services, where their workers want to be. • Office opportunity principally exists along Washington and will be strengthened by a transit connection along Washington or Collins. MARKET INDUCED EVOLUTION Two challenges and core components as it relates to hotel use: 1. Many of the buildings within the MXE district, particularly as it relates to hotel, retail and restaurants, are obsolete. They are buildings built 60-70 years ago, if not longer. It is very hard, given the constraints of the historic nature of the buildings and the size of the rooms, to be able to reposition those buildings in order to accommodate modern demand. 2. Another not insignificant hurdle, back in late 1990’s and early 2000’s, the city saw a major conversion of many buildings on the Beach to condo hotels and time shares, as seen in figure 3. Due to the now multiple owners in many of these buildings, redevelopment of certain blocks has become very difficult. As it relates to re-investment within the buildings, at times it has to be very strategic and surgical considering which investments/improvements are most likely to be accepted by the various owners. Because of the difficulties of being able to get multiple owners to agree, it also makes it very unlikely for these buildings to experience reinvestment in the near/mid/long term. One of the major challenges to investment is market obsolesce of certain components of existing buildings. • Hotel rooms along Ocean are very small and have difficultly achieving competitive rates when compared to modern/modernized properties in Miami Beach. - Physical nature of buildings makes them difficult to reconfigure rooms in the same footprint. • Nature of older buildings’ public spaces (which are generally historic), back of house, and kitchens are also a challenge to broadening the attraction among a different type of restaurant, retailer, user, and ultimately guests • Beyond repositioning of hotels, the configuration of these buildings creates substantial challenges as it relates to conversion to any other use (including residential) even though demand may be significant. • Testing regulatory adjustments that ensure the sanctity of the historic character of buildings in the district but also encourage reinvestment and repositioning so that the district will attract a broader range of users/guests.

Once a park was in the public domain, all agreed that its weight was to be carried on the shoulders of City government. No longer. While many places still hew to the traditional model, a growing number of cities now utilize private donations and expertise to rebuild, refurbish, maintain, and program some of their most iconic parks. That is particularly true for parks in dense urban areas which find themselves on the receiving end of multiple constituencies and are highly utilized. Through ad-hoc management structures, these organizations bring together the best of private management methods and public sector goals to deliver high-quality urban parks to their Cities, in many cases leading to the revitalization of entire neighborhoods. Today’s favored revitalization structure is the Parks Conservancy. New York alone has nearly two dozen such private organizations providing financial and management support for a park, and thanks to high-profile successes, this public-private partnership approach is emerging as a significant park management model nationwide. In fact, more than a hundred such structures now exist and are improving the major urban parks of areas as diverse as San Francisco, Pittsburg, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, Boston, or Baltimore. The concept stokes both hope and fear. Many an elected official, and many a private donor, believe that a conservancy can improve park success while holding down taxpayer expense. Others are skeptical, worrying that a narrow group of residents might assume control of a public resource with the best of intentions but without political accountability or an understanding of the broader needs of the citizenry. Nevertheless, the practice of the past forty years seems to indicate that once a Conservancy is in place, it has staying power and its charter keeps getting renewed. Conservancies are private, nonprofit park-benefit organizations that raise money independently of the city and spend it under a plan of action mutually agreed upon with the government. Most conservancies neither own nor hold easements on the parkland; the land remains the City’s, and the City retains ultimate authority over everything that happens there. Most conservancies have been founded to restore a run-down historic park, although a growing number are being created hand-in-hand with their brand-new green spaces. The impetus for their creation often comes from a combination of users and nearby residents, but the political receptivity of the mayor and city government is a de facto requirement. Typically, conservancies are created to fund large capital projects such as repairs to a building, monument, fountain, pathway system, major lawn, forest, or lake. Many evolve to oversee the actual construction and even to provide additional management and programming for the park. A few move up all the way to handling all the elements of park administration—from maintaining parkland to coordinating concessions to providing security and programming the space. Most conservancies take on a single signature park, but a few have expanded to several or even assumed a city-wide mandate. Conservancies generally have large boards and small staff. Board size reflects the diversity of park constituencies, bridging the worlds of the public sector, pirate sector, relevant not for profits, and sometimes important local figures, as well as the need for broad financial reach. Staff generally focuses on outreach, fundraising, and contractor management, with the very largest conservancies hiring significant numbers of maintenance and program workers. Success is predicated on a solid foundation of trust between the public sector, which is transferring a significant amount of control and authority to a not-for-profit organization, and the private sector actors that will invest resources above and beyond those the public sector would allocate to the park. It also depends on an appropriate parceling of responsibilities between the partners and a clear understanding of each stakeholder’s role in the new management of the park. A significant obstacle to the creation of a new Conservancy, particularly in a high-profile space, can be the sense that adopting this management model is a form of condemnation of the City’s past work and its administration. This is not the case. The Conservancy should be considered an evolution of the art of park management and a response to the ever-growing list of demands made to public space in the modern era. Government support is essential to its success. It is true that the Conservancy model considerably modifies the manner in which a park will be managed, but as we said, it remains a public asset owned and controlled by the City. Lummus Park is a splendid space to create such a partnership. A Conservancy would be the ideal agent through which the City of South Beach could create a long- term vision for the park, improve its operations, deliver engaging programming that will both benefit locals and attract noteworthy events, as well as sponsor a broad physical renovation project, all the while attracting new private capital to the park. The first steps would be the creation of a steering committee and the negotiation of an appropriate management agreement with the City. This would be followed by the creation of the relevant 501c(3) organization and the creation of its board. RESPONSIVE MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC SPACES1DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 29 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH30 RESPONSIVE MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC SPACES 1.1 WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? The main goal is to help the public and the private sector set up successful partnerships to offer high quality services to their community. The idea is to apply proven management techniques, that work in hundreds of locations in the USA, to the specifics of Miami Beach. It is about transforming public spaces into people friendly destinations by unifying the approach to landscaping, maintenance, sanitation, security, programming, design, and retail leasing to produce an environment pleasing to all. Miami Beach is coming from a position of incredible strength in terms of the value of the real estate market and the brand name of South Beach in general, and the fact that this city has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The intent is to shape an iconic neighborhood into a cultural district. In order to make people feel welcome, safe, and comfortable when there’s a very dense crowd, it is critical to offer services that make people feel that the space is protected, clean, and beautiful. Cities often times struggle to do that, and what many cities have done, increasingly and successfully, is add a layer of management that will bring the best of competencies and talents that intertwines the work of the private sector with the public sector. It is not just about building very large-scale events that are going to draw thousands of people to the neighborhood, Miami Beach already has very strong centers of attraction with many events already happening in this area. It is also about developing a level of activities at the ground level, for locals and the population that work and live in the neighborhood, in such a way that there’s a sense of ownership of the street, the park and public spaces that invites a relationship of respect between the visitors and the locals and makes it a much more interesting and layered experience for the people who come here. Providing this complex programming is very difficult for Municipalities, and for hotels as well because they do not control the space. Therefore, this public-private partnership can make an enormous difference in a short amount of time and with limited capital. A successful example of a transition from a city managed park to a Conservancy is Bryant Park, which is considered as one of the best managed parks in America. The Bryant Park conservancy had an important numerical impact over the course of 30 years: direct jobs attributed to Bryant Park increased from 2 city employees to 120 private sector jobs; the annual operating budget increased by a factor of 100 from $250,000 to $25,000,000; 100% taxpayer funding of the Park was reduced to zero-taxpayer funding; annual visitors rose from 200,000 to 8 million per year; and the conservancy reduced the incidence of serious crimes reported from 1,000 per year to zero. This new park management approach has also had an impact on the neighborhood as a whole, with new redevelopments and businesses and how it has participated in a broader renewal of the community. This is the potential these organizations can have as a catalyst for change and for improvements.

Dynamic in its Problem Solving EXAMPLE: Tactics to ensure cleanliness Besides Bryant Park, other geographical examples where a successful model of conservancy has happened are: - Canalside in Buffalo in Northern New York State, located in a disinvested area, is a great example of how a waterfront park following this model of management and with very limited capital investment to begin with, managed to become a magnet for visitations, development and a new identity for the city. - Another model is the 3CDC organization in Cincinnati, which became a bridge between private and public sector and took it as its mission to do both public space management but also redevelopment of undervalued properties, such as vacant buildings that had cultural value, development of affordable housing and zoning changes, and over a period of 20 years of increasing responsibilities, built up the entire downtown to great success.

The Conservancy is seen as a true partnership between public and private sector, which bridges the two to bring the best practices of both, the public service mission, ideals, and objectives of the public sector with the procurement technique and fast decision making of the private sector. Take, for example, two basic services such as sanitation and security. On the sanitation front, the public-private partnership in this community improvement district will set policies that allow public-facing operations to be done by a private sector partner, while the City focuses on large scale operations. On the security front, the organizations will make safety ambassadors the first level of interaction with the public which monitor behavior, inform the public expectations, and provide first-grade interventions with reliable support from city services, with the police intervening when needed. It is a pyramid way of organizing the services that allows the police to be more strategic and effective in keeping an eye on the neighborhood. It is about creating a management entity empowered to make decisions. Public sector manages relationships instead of services: • Overall strategy and orientation • Alignment with city policies • Legitimacy in eyes of public • Capital financing and start-up costs • Board presence and long-term accountability • Search (audits…) and Rescue (if necessary) • Right balance of competencies transfer Management entity applies private sector methods with public purpose: • Ownership mindset: Discipline & flexible timing in execution • Multi-year budget and fund retention • Even levels of service – countercyclical • Control over staff & no legacy of labor negotiations • Market-based pricing, flexibility of staffing & best price-to- quality ratio procurement • Hyper-local knowledge, bridging different worlds • Project controls & resource optimization • Ability to experiment • Clear responsibilities (metrics) • Public strategy & communication • Information exchange & optimization of processes What are the key elements? • Defined district boundaries • Private funding (value capture) • Diverse board composition • Approval and oversight by the City • Independent day to day management and finances Genesis Story PPP Genesis Story DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 35 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH Management entity conducts public-facing operations.

There is an opportunity to act on a broader district-wide scale, with the right kind of funding and broader mandate from the city to make improvements with a looser set of restrictions to conduct flexible operations. The City needs to capitalize on Lummus Park, which is an exceptional space that if it were actively managed by an entity, with the day-to-day decision-making capacity concerning what occurs in this area, could very quickly become an even stronger magnet for the neighborhood and also be very successful for the District. There are many ways of doing it, but our thinking is that this may need to be a graduated approach. A future reimagined Lummus Park and Ocean Drive would function much better if there is a strong and independent Conservancy group that is the leader on the project which would function as the initial stage of management and from there it can be expanded into Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue, East-West streets, and alleys in a later stage.

Its spatial conditions have varied throughout time, as a reaction to the City’s growth, changes in land use, and environmental events. In its early days, the park provided a smooth transition from the City to the Ocean through a shaded space under Coconut Palms. This grove of Coconut Palms allowed visitors to enjoy ocean views and shelter from the sun while being on the Beach. After the mid 80’s implementation of the dune levee, and the continuous expansion of the beach to the east, the park’s direct relation to the Ocean became distant and interrupted by a physical barrier that blocks views and makes access more challenging. The Park now only faces the City, which in turn now has different needs, and serves a larger number or users. The groves of Coconut Palms now seem obsolete, now only paying tribute to past days where the vocation of the space functionally and visually bridged the City to the sea. The Park currently hosts an extensive program that is mainly concentrated West of the historic coral stone wall. Except for the Muscle Beach area and volleyball courts, the interstitial space between the wall and the dune sits unoccupied and underutilized most of the time. This forgotten space, besides representing a barrier to access the beach, also presents itself as the largest opportunity for the park to grow, accommodate new uses, and resolve issues that have evolved though time. One of these issues is related to the increase of traffic along Ocean Drive, which acts as a physical barrier and prevents the integration of the City and Park. The next barrier preventing East to West connection is the length of the lawn/coconut grove areas, which funnel visitors through 12 walkways designed for smaller crowds than what the area regularly receives. To address some of the issues described, this concept proposes improvements that focus on the following main concepts: 1. Improve the City’s connection with the Park and the ocean. 2. Increase resiliency and enhance ecosystems. 3. Improve north to south connectivity. 4. Activate and refine park programming. This proposal intends to bring nature into the city by integrating the beach and dune into the park as a resilient landscape space. Under the premise of connectivity, the park will increase its transparency and will allow users to see and be seen as part of the historic character of Ocean Drive. Access to the park will be facilitated and more program opportunities will activate areas otherwise unused. The diagram in figure 4, shows in dark green about 15 acres of green space between Ocean Drive and the serpentine wall, and then the hard pack sand is also approximately 15 acres in area between the serpentine wall and the dune. The Atlantic Ocean used to be about 50 feet away from the coral rock wall. Lummus Park has not changed much since the beach renourishment project, which is one of the most successful in the entire country. There is an opportunity to take advantage of Lummus Park, which is an exceptional space but currently underutilized, and use it as the basis for doubling its size to facilitate other programming opportunities such as recreation, arts and culture as well as support space for the City functions.

It is important to note that all Lummus Park drawings shown in this document represent a vision and landscape design concept only and are not intended as final designs. To address some of the issues previously described, this concept proposes improvements that focus on the following main concepts: 1. Improve the City’s connection with the Park and the ocean. a. Improve park’s East to West connectivity by increasing the park’s permeability on the Ocean Drive side by opening mid-block access into the park. b. Improve access from the West by consolidating street ends as urban plazas and widening Ocean Drive West sidewalks. c. Design and integrate alternative transportation systems, including potential transit station on 5th street, ridesharing drop off areas along Ocean Drive, rental e-bikes and charging stations. d. Create a topographic path West of the dune levee to introduce program opportunities with ocean views. e. Limit the amount of beach access points to reduce habitat fragmentation. 2. Increase resiliency and enhance ecosystems. a. Create a new beach walk West of the dune levee to increase and restore the dune vegetation, and associated ecosystems and also provide additional area for bike/ped at the current dune elevation while providing both views to the ocean and views of the historic hotels. b. Improve and increase storm surge protection with the creation of a new beach walk West of the dune levee. c. Increase biodiversity and provide educational opportunities to the public by increasing dune vegetation. d. Provide more planting areas that promote stormwater infiltration and/or capture. 3. Improve north to south connectivity. a. Provide a continuous beach walk along the West side of the dune that will meander through diverse spaces. The beach walk will transition to a nature-centric path. b. Provide improvements of the existing Lummus Park circulation including signalization, program, and accessibility. Expand walkways into open plazas at every street end. c. Widen sidewalks along Ocean Drive to allow for outdoor promenading, seating, and planting areas that will also ensure pedestrian safety and proper flows. 4. Activate and refine park programming. a. Improve Lummus Park’s program offerings by including diverse program opportunities. The south end remains more active in nature, whereas the center portion becomes a civic center. The north end is quieter and relates more to nature. The proposed programming is complemented with new amenities. b. Introduce art and nature as the overarching themes. The landscape and hardscape design invite opportunities and spaces for art installations along the park. From formal display spaces to impromptu performances to the essence of the landscape design itself, the user will face an ever-changing experience dependent on the park visitor’s chosen route. c. Extend 5th, 8th, 10th, 12th and 14th streets into the park as plazas. These areas will also serve as beach access points. d. Preserve the parks legacy and history by using the rock wall as the main circulation route and structural back bone. The iconic Coconut Palms and lawn areas will be scaled to give way to native dune planting and improved park access. e. Implement shade structures and viewing platforms West of the dune levee to provide space for shaded activities and 360-degree views to ocean and city.

The transportation study area boundary is between 5th Street to the South, 17th Street to the North, and then the three (3) major corridors Washington Avenue, Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, as seen in figure 7. The study of influence, which extends to Alton Road, represents the zone where the potential for a neighborhood traffic study is considered, which is why it encompasses a broader area. Intuitively, people who drive to Miami Beach from the mainland on MacArthur Causeway and want to move through the city, will use the West side of the city through Alton Road, which is described as the Mobility District and shaded blue. The yellow is the Flamingo Park District, which is the residential part of the area and in orange is the main access to the Cultural District. The analysis provides an evaluation of the area used by vehicles and pedestrians as a percentage of available space in the right- of-way in the various street sections. The gray sections of the graphic bar indicate the portion of the right-of-way used by vehicles in each section, and the orange/red represents the area used by pedestrians. The summary table of the major corridors describes its ownership, traffic volumes for 2019, 2020 and future 2035, number of lanes, functional classification, FDOT Context classification and study area priorities. Interesting to note that even though the functional classification designation for Washington Avenue is Major Collector, for Collins Avenue is Principal Arterial and for Ocean Drive is Local, in this area Washington Avenue functions more as an arterial and Collins Avenue as the collector. The vision of this area has identified future priorities on all roads. 1. Ocean Drive is envisioned as a pedestrian oriented street with cultural venue, park access, beach and resident access, hotel pick-ups and drop-offs, deliveries and strolling. 2. Collins Avenue is more for the local access, any future transit will be more of a local shuttle with frequent stops and low capacity. It also envisions hotel pick-ups and drop-offs, deliveries, walking and biking. 3. Washington Avenue is envisioned as the mobility corridor with regional transit connections, multimodal connections and it is essentially the gateway for accessing the entire Art Deco Cultural District. The Miami-Dade 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) has three (3) proposals that impact the ADCD study area, as seen in figure 8. The most prominent one is the Beach Corridor Transit, whether it is a monorail or light rail. The ridership estimates (2040) are between 28,000 and 42,000 riders per day. Another proposal is the BERT (Bus Express Rapid Transit) Corridors which will be in the Washington Avenue corridor in this study area. And lastly, The Washington Avenue Bicycle Facilities plan which is a long-range transportation plan of priority three (3) area for protected on-road bicycle facilities on Washington Avenue.

It is proposed to have a restricted vehicular zone East of Washington Avenue and there are several ideas on how to restrict vehicle access: 1) Diverters Diverters, such as retractable bollards, help in reducing motor vehicle volumes and speeds by making the cars not want to be in the area from a design perspective. 2) Congestion charge There are now more and more cities that have a congestion charge; the lesson is international. The main concept is that when a vehicle passes through a tolling facility it will be charged based on its license plate – residents and those qualifying under ADA will be excluded. One way we can reduce the issues currently affecting South Beach is by reducing the elements that create the chaos, over congestion, and lack of control over the streets – cars and cruising.

In this option, it is proposed to bring the trees closer into the buildings while maintaining the sidewalks open so that there is a perception of the park starting at the façade of the building. Figure 9 is an example of a narrow organic shape two-way roadway through a park with a wide sidewalk that would allow for strolling, dining and bigger landscaping zones with similar character to the Ramblas. From a limited vehicle access perspective, the street should be designed as an infrequent vehicle movement/ low-capacity road and not intended for through trips. With drop-off zones in each block that would allow for passengers to be picked up/drop-off closer to the buildings.

It is envisioned in two ways: 1) Until such time as a monorail connecting Miami Beach with the mainland, if at all, it is proposed to have the circulator connection between Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue, moving on Collins Avenue on a Northbound direction, turning West on 20th Street, then south on Washington Avenue, in order to make a connection at the Convention Center, then turning East on Lincoln Road, where the proposed stop and transfer station is located, and turning back south into Collins Avenue, as seen in figure 12. 2) When the monorail is in place, and there is a functional mass transit system, the circulator moves to Washington Avenue, which would serve as the district access transit street. Figure 13 shows the transfer station being proposed either between Lenox Avenue and Michigan Avenue, which is where the County has it currently proposed, or as proposed in this Vision Plan, between Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue, as seen in figure 14. 3.6 COLLINS AVENUE - SHARED TRANSIT STREET DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 87 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH O1 O2A O2BLater Phase Later PhaseInterim Two-Way Collins Avenue Circulator connection between Washington Ave and Collins Ave Monorail connection in place, circulator moves to Washington Ave, with transfer station between Lenox Ave and Michigan Ave Monorail connection in place, circulator moves to Washington Ave, with transfer station between Washington Ave and Collins Ave Two-Way Collins Avenue Two-Way Washington Avenue N Figure 13Figure 12 Figure 14 3.6.1 LOCAL CIRCULATOR ALTERNATIVES DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH88 No Curbside 67%33% 40%60% CURB- SIDE CURB- SIDE 8’8’ WALKWALK 12’12’ WOONERF 20’ 60’ ROW +/- WALKWALK 6’6’ PARKPARK 8’8’ AUTO 11’ AUTOAUTO 9’9’TURNING LANE60’ ROW +/-CollinsExisting Proposed - Two-Way Circulator Collins Avenue Existing Proposed _2 bi-directional travel lanes _Circulator street with woonerf _Wider sidewalks _Sharrow lanes _Parking/ transit stop areas _2 bi-directional travel lanes _Shared turning lane _On-street parking both direction _Sharrow lanes | COLLINS AVENUE 3.6.2 SHARED TRANSIT STREET Currently, Collins Avenue has two (2) 6 ft sidewalks, two (2) bi-directional sharrow travel lanes, one (1) shared turning lanes and on street parking on both directions. 20%80% Curbside DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 89 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH NACTO: Shared Transit Street DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH90 Collins| COLLINS AVENUE Existing Street 3.6.3 SHARED TRANSIT STREET CONCEPTUAL VIEW DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 91 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICHCollinsThis street is proposed to have the same number of existing through lanes but with a shared street character. It is envisioned as a curbless (woonerf) road that provides local transit access, with vehicles driving next to people biking and/or walking. Vehicles are slowed by placing trees, planters, parking areas, and other obstacles in the street and the pavement is also part of the visual character of the street.

The Washington Avenue long term plan is envisioned as a high-level design that accommodates mobility and that shows potential feasibility. The intention is that from the existing cross section of the road, replace one side of the existing parking and part of the median with the dedicated new bus lane throughout the entire corridor. The proposal intends to have dedicated bus lanes in the middle of the street with either bus stations, median/landscaping, or left turn lanes, that can be used as needed strategically along the corridor. It is important to note that the stop locations indicated in the drawings (see figure 15) are not intended to show proposed locations on every block but rather to illustrate ideas of how they can be located as near side or far side stops and what the design might look like. Outside of those, there would be one through lane and protected raised cycle track on both sides of the street in separate directions. This would only leave curbside usage on the East side of the street, which includes on-street parking, loading zone, ride-share spaces, and pickup/drop-off zones. 3.7 WASHINGTON AVENUE - DISTRICT ACCESS TRANSIT STREET DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 95 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH WALK 12’ WALK 12’ BIKE 8’ BIKE 8’ PARK 10’ PARK 8’ AUTO 10’ MEDIAN/ TURN 14’ AUTO 10’ 100’ ROW +/-WASHINGTON AVEWALK 12’ WALK 12’ BIKE BIKEPARK 6’7’7’ TRANSIT 12’ AUTO 10’ AUTO 10’ 100’ ROW +/- STOP/ TURN/ MEDIAN12’ TRANSIT 12’WASHINGTON AVEFuture: when transit is in place and there is a demand of 12+ buses per hour, Washington Ave should be reconfigured to have a dedicated transit lane Existing - Result of the Pilot Project Existing Proposed Proposed LONG TERM VISION: _2 bi-directional travel lanes _Dedicated bus lanes _Transit stop/median/turning lanes adjacent to dedicated bus lane _On-street parking/ drop-off zone on East side _Bike lanes _2 bi-directional travel lanes _Median/ turning lane _On-street parking _Bike lanes | WASHINGTON AVENUE 3.7.1 DISTRICT ACCESS TRANSIT STREET 40%60% 48%52% DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH96 EXISTING N| WASHINGTON AVENUE 3.7.2 DISTRICT ACCESS TRANSIT STREET - EXISTING CONDITIONS 10TH ST11TH STWASHINGTON AVE DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 97 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICHExisting Street DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH98 DEDICATED TRANSIT LOADING LOADINGDROP-OFFDROP-OFF DEDICATED TRANSIT 10TH ST11TH STNACTO: Dedicated Median Bus Lanes PROPOSED N3.7.3 DISTRICT ACCESS TRANSIT STREET - LONG TERM VISION WASHINGTON AVE | WASHINGTON AVENUE Figure 15 DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 99 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICHProposed Street DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH100 Transit Plaza/Transfer Stations5th St + Lincoln Road DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 101 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH LUMMUS PARK COLLINS AVE WASHINGTON AVE10TH ST LINCOLN RD OCEAN DR 5TH STREET 8TH ST9TH ST11TH ST12TH ST13TH ST14TH ST14TH PL 15TH STESPANOLA WAY7TH ST6TH STDRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH102 5th Street WALK 26’ +/- VARIES WALK 26’ +/- VARIES BIKEBIKE 5’5’ MEDIAN 15.5’ AUTOAUTO AUTOAUTO AUTOAUTOAUTO 10.5’10.5’10.5’10.5’10.5’10.5’10.5’ 160’ ROW +/- | 5TH STREET CIRCULATOR CONNECTION - OPTION 1 5th Street N 3.8.1 END OF MIAMI BEACH MONORAIL BETWEEN LENOX AVE AND MICHIGAN AVE - EXISTING CONDITIONS 41%59% DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 103 PREPARED FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH BY ZYSCOVICH 5th Street Existing This option proposes to bring the high-capacity transit connection (The Beach Corridor) to the intersection of Lenox Avenue and Michigan Avenue, which is where the County has currently proposed.

The existing sidewalks are narrow and there is not enough room for landscaping, which could enhance the pedestrian experience. It is proposed to make the East-West streets as one-way pairs versus two-way traffic, as seen in the existing and proposed East-West traffic flow diagrams in figure 20 and figure 21. One way street provide additional room for expanding one side of the sidewalk and separated bike lanes, improving the landscape, prioritizing walking and biking facilities, and providing for loading zones and commercial vehicle circulation, and pick-up/drop-off/ valet zones between Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive. The City of Miami Beach is currently exploring alternatives for Española Way beyond the existing two-way configuration, but at the moment, this proposal recommends that an enhanced pedestrian character should be promoted for Española Way between Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue while maintaining some traffic flow.

DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH138 GOALS Quality of Public Space: Diversity of type of space is important to exciting city experiences. Revamping Ocean Court and Collins Court into usable spaces will provide different types of areas and help reduce some of the few current negative aspects of the ADCD. Enhance the Image of the City: Alleys are great places for local plants, stormwater drainage, and green infrastructure initiatives. Safer Environment for People: In Miami Beach, the alleys are often neglected, and sometimes have uneven pavement and dark places for potential crime. Alleys are invaluable for giving service access, but encouraging additional uses such as retail, cafes and arts venues will ensure that alleys are cared and looked after. CHANGES TO BE MADE 1. Provide for an alley study and design guidelines for this District. 2. Further define zoning requirements that would encourage aesthetic improvements along the alleys. 3. Incentivize public arts initiatives. 4. Create events for people to join. ENHANCE THE IMAGE OF THE CITY 5. Bury utility lines. 6. Re-pave the alleyways. 7. Require buildings to maintain trash receptacles on private property and properly obstructed from view. 8. Have a landscape requirement. 9. Regulate size of service vehicles and allowable times for deliveries. SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE 10. Ensure alley is clean and well lit. 11. New paving around drainage channel is key to safety, and creates surfaces that the disabled, children, and the elderly can feel comfortable on. 12. More uses and people along the alley will mean safer active spaces for pedestrian and businesses.

The intent of the proposed changes to the existing MXE zoning designation is to balance the needs and maintain the character of Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue but allow targeted and strategic zoning incentives that would encourage people to quickly reinvest in the properties while protecting the historic character of the District. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS Zoning can be used as a tool to regulate and change outcomes and the elements used to create the preferred regulatory outcome are: FAR HEIGHT SETBACKS USES PARKING LOCATION AND SCALE FROM STREET Part of the study area overlaps with the CRA boundary line. The intent of the diagram, as seen in figure 24, is to show that there is potentially another funding source for that overlap area. The CRA was originally created to provide money to help fund the Loews Hotel and other projects at the time. These properties, which are located between 15th Street and 16th Street, and Collins Avenue and Lummus Park, do not share the same characteristics with the rest of the Art Deco Cultural District and as a result, if a zoning change for the ADCD District will be implemented this area should be evaluated. The Lincoln Road and Española Way blocks between Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue have not been redeveloped as part of a plan and need improvements. These two blocks could be funded by the CRA because they are within the CRA boundary.

The model has changed from more of a true hotel type of building to a food and beverage on the first floor of the building, and these mid-block buildings are going to have challenges in terms of attracting the type of travelers that pay top dollar not only for the size of the rooms but also the views. So, how do you begin to incentivize those inner block buildings, that don’t necessarily have the built-in advantages that corner buildings have, in a way that does not compromise Ocean Drive’s postcard image? Many of the buildings on Ocean Drive are less than 50 feet tall and most of them have used almost all of the FAR available to them. Ocean Drive is almost entirely made up of these historic buildings, and figure 25 shows them except for the corners. This analysis addresses these inner block buildings.

It is proposed that if a building has more FAR than what the zoning code allows, that it should be possible to reconstruct some of the building, as long as the renovation does not make the building more non-conforming. For example, if a building currently has a FAR of 2.4, that building could be renovated as long as the renovation does not increase FAR beyond 2.4, even though the code only allows for a FAR of 2.0 at this time. This proposal looked at several projects on Ocean Drive to understand the implications of reconstructing the back of the buildings, but it is important to note, that the plans used as examples throughout this section are intended to illustrate properties that have not been renovated and how they would benefit from new regulations. One of the main issues found is that the floor heights are very low, which is one of the reasons why it is very hard to get high-quality restaurants to rent space, because the space these high-quality kitchens require, such as back of house, utilities, etc. do not currently fit in the buildings in their current form. The main concept is to reconstruct the back of the building, rearrange the use of the floor area, and renovate the remainder of the building while preserving the lobby and any other important architectural elements, so that from the street the same building is appreciated but with different characteristics that would change the nature of the entire building. If the back portion of the building envelope is reconstructed with the basement dimension limited to the 70 ft front setback line, the rear of the building is set back five (5) feet, and a slab is eliminated, FAR can be shifted in order to add an additional floor. At the moment, the average size room is 200 SF; they are very small rooms with sub-standard bathrooms. If the project were to reduce the number of rooms but increase their sizes it would improve the space, allow for higher quality finishes, and better space to create a new bathroom.

Under the premise of connectivity, the park will increase its transparency, will allow users to see and be seen, as part of the historic character of Ocean Drive. Access to the park will be facilitated and more program opportunities will activate areas otherwise unused. There is an opportunity to take advantage of Lummus Park, which is an exceptional space but is currently underutilized, and use it as the basis for doubling its size to facilitate other programming opportunities such as recreation, arts and culture as well as support space for the City functions. The side streets could offer additional planting space that would provide shade, visual interest, and additional infiltration areas for stormwater. Landscape corridors could bring pollinators and other species back to the City, and potentially tie all together and connect park and City as part of a larger ecosystem.] 1.1 Expand Lummus Park and activate and refine park programming to promote Park of the Arts concept. 1.2 Improve connection of Lummus Park to the District by enhancing the East-West Street network.

DRAFT REPORT #4 - 02.14.2022 ADCD VISION PLAN, CITY OF MIAMI BEACH196 In fall 2020 the City of Miami Beach engaged with Zyscovich for a Land Use, Mobility, and Economic Development study for the MXE District, for which the main goal is to create a District-Wide Urban Design and Mobility Framework Plan, vision, and strategic action plan for the City’s Culture, Art, and Mixed-Use Entertainment District (MXE District). Since the Mayor convened the Art Deco Cultural District (ADCD) Panel in January of 2020, Zyscovich and its multidisciplinary team worked with the Panel and with members of City staff to develop a vision concept plan for the area. There has been over 20 ADCD Panel meetings and more than 40 City staff meetings. The team conducted several workshops during the ADCD Panel meetings further describe below: Workshop 1: “People First Design” was conducted on March 26, 2021, by Gehl and Townsquare. It discussed concepts of street life & programming for Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue and Washington Avenue. Workshop 2 “Economic Activity” was conducted on April 23, 2021, by Lambert Advisory. It explained the district economics as it relates to retail, tourism, and entertainment potential. Workshop 3 “Urban Design” was conducted on May 21, 2021, by Zyscovich, Jungles and Kittleson. This workshop presented a preliminary concept plan which gave an overview on urban design, open space, mobility, and transit concepts for the overall District. Workshop 4 “Land Use” was conducted on June 18,2021, by Zyscovich, Lambert and Townsquare. This workshop explored concepts as it relates to a potential district management approach, zoning, and land use changes as well as development incentives.
