ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
As recommended by the Municipal Mobility Plan, on September 22, 1999, the City Commission
approved Resolution No. 99-23318 which amended the MMP contract with Carr Smith Corradino,
to develop a study/implementation plan for the establishment of Transportation Concurrency
Management Areas (TCMA) in Miami Beach. The $35,000 contract amendment cost was covered
by developer mitigation funds previously collected by the City. The draft final version of the
TCMA study/implementation plan was presented and discussed at a Commission Workshop held
on March 1, 2000.
Additionally, on this City Commission Agenda is a Public Hearing to amend the Miami Beach
Comprehensive Plan in order to incorporate the TCMAs.
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 ofthe 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 ofthese 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 MDT A
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.
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, within
this TCMA Study/Implementation Plan, to designate three (3) 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, as well as the City's Transportation and Parking Committee and Planning
Board recommend the approval and adoption of the Resolution.
