ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach Planning Department has been in the process of completing the
Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process required by state statute. In 1998, the City
submitted its EAR to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), which found that the
document submitted to the Department at that time contained deficiencies, which were primarily
related to the need to include more up-to-date data and analysis.
In order to insure a finding of sufficiency, last year the City contracted with its Comprehensive
Planning consultant, Robert K. Swarthout and Associates, to prepare a supplement in order to
address the deficiencies identified by the DCA. Additionally, the City was awarded a technical
assistance grant by the DCA which was used to defray costs associated with the preparation the
required supplement.
At this time, the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) Supplement has been completed, using
the most up-to-date data available to the City, and is ready to be submitted to the DCA.
At its December 20, 1999 meeting, the Planning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the
EAR Supplement.
Based on the foregoing analysis, the Administration recommends that the Commission adopt the
EAR Supplement and authorize the Administration to submit the EAR Supplement to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
