SUBJECT:
A RES U ON OF THE MA YOR AND CITY COMMISSION
AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS (RFP) FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY OWNED
LOT LOCATED BETWEEN COLLINS AND HARDING AVENUE, AND
72ND TO 73RD STREET
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
On January 6, 1999, the City Commission discussed a report from the Neighborhoods Committee
meeting of December 17, 1998 regarding the proposed North Beach Master Plan and the Normandy
Isle Master Plan.
The report indicated that the proposed studies would be further discussed with the North Beach
Development Corporation on January 19, 1999 for further input, and that the general consensus on
a plan of action would be reported back to the City Commission on January 20, 1999.
At the same January 6 meeting, Commissioner Shapiro suggested that the City go out with a Request
for Proposals ("RFP") for the parking lot located at Collins A venue between 72nd and 73rd Streets,
and said RFP should be aimed at encouraging a mixed-use project. Pursuant to that suggestion,
Commission Shapiro has requested the Administration to prepare a Resolution authorizing the
issuance of an RFP for the site as an agenda item for today's City Commission meeting.
ANALYSIS
The strategy to develop this site through an RFP was presented to the City Commission by the
Administration in mid 1998 when discussions surrounding the 17th Street site took place. At that
time, the Administration also identified this property as an important site in the future redevelopment
of North Beach and recommended a planning study as a precursor to an RFP. The Commission did
not take action at that time.
AGENDA ITEM~
1-2D-CJ<j
DATE
On November 4, 1998, the City Commission discussed a request from the North Beach Development
Corporation ("NBDC"). NBDC's Board of Directors passed a resolution requesting that the City
conduct a planning and economic development study for the site as a generator for the commercial
area from 71st to 75th streets. The study would serve as a basis for the issuance of an RFP.
Additionally, NBDC requested that the study of the area reference the prior findings of the North
Shore Development Plan from the 1980's and the Design Guidelines for the North Beach
neighborhood prepared by the architectural firm of Duany/Plater-Zyberk in 1994.
In response to said discussion, the Administration has developed general study outline timetable,
community participation, and funding in order to accomplish certain goals for North Beach in
general. This item has been discussed by the City Commission, the Land Use and Development
Committee and the Neighborhoods Committee. As mentioned, a meeting with the North Beach
Development Corporation is scheduled for January 19, 1999 in order to reach a consensus on a plan
of action as to how to proceed with this effort.
As previously stat~d, part of the strategy described by the Administration to date is to undertake a
professional planning process for the subject site as part of the larger area to determine its best long
range use. This process has been expected to take approximately 6 months resulting in an RFP
before the City Commission by July, 1999.
While the Administration prefers to undertake the process described above prior to the issuance of
an RFP, a similar process to the one being followed for the RFP for the 17th street site could be
developed. The process for the 17th street RFP requires the respondents to provide substantial
information that supports their proposals. Similar requirements could be developed for this RFP,
as well.
Upon passage of this Resolution instructing the Administration to prepare an RFP for the 72nd Street
parking lot site, the actual RFP would be brought back to the City Commission for final approval
at the second meeting in February.
CONCLUSION
Adopt the Resolution.
