37 big ideas focus on town center 71 st is the center of town, infill on empty lots, upgrade buildings, add retail, housing, hotels, co-work spaces, cafes, offices to create a downtown provide more mobility options complete the streets, add bike & pedestrian infrastructure, shade sidewalks, light for security, activate street fronts, Baylink to NoBe, improve traffic protect & enhance neighborhoods historic preservation incentives & safeguards, add parking better utilize public land empty lots could provide more parking, civic uses (pool, skate park, youth center), private-public partnerships, commercial destinations, a mix of uses build to last streets, buildings, and public spaces (new and existing) must be adapted for a changing climate & rising seas

49 time to be a town Existing

50 time to be a town Proposed

51 Early 20 th Century Lot layout Commercial lots are located on the short side of the block, and oriented to the Main Street Residential lots facing the streets that connect to the main commercial street The lot configuration was adjusted back in the day to be a classic main street

52 Early 20 th Century Lot layout On-Street Parking Parking was intended for the streets; not on the lots with the buildings.

53 Early 20 th Century Lot layout Areas that show the building placement tradition in Miami Beach On-Street Parking If the lots had been intended for parking, their widths would have been 60 ft or more, instead of the existing 50 ft. No parking requirement explains why the older buildings occupy almost all of their lots The increment of development was smaller: one owner, one lot, one building

54 Mid to Late 20 th Century Car Culture The lack of a consistent built edge to the streets erodes the sense of enclosure, causing a weaker pedestrian shopping environment. City purchased lots to help with parking demand Area devoted to parking Additional lots were privately purchased to provide parking lots. (I Hop Restaurant) Older Buildings were demolished by owners for parking lots. Traditional Miami Beach Block Pattern Auto-oriented culture s effect on the traditional block pattern The Parking Configuration on these lots is not ideal because an efficient parking bay is 60 feet wide and lots are 50 feet wide. Commercial Tenants and Financial Institutions demand parking.

55 A fragmented Lot Ownership Pattern Each color represents one owner of multiple lots Lots without color are separate individual owners Today s ownership pattern is a bit like a checkerboard pattern Property Ownership based on recent search of Miami Dade County Property Appraiser s website

56 A fragmented Lot Ownership Pattern It may take a while, but eventually, with time, lots will be aggregated, and someone will build a large building that meets the parking requirements. The outlines show are the smallest footprints at 53 spaces/level. 139 spaces/level. 53 spaces/level. 64 spaces/level. Property Ownership based on recent search of Miami Dade County Property Appraiser s website Only two blocks currently have the land available for an efficient parking garage

57 Development Regulations & Approvals What we heard from the development industry: High Administration Costs ( soft costs) for both small and large projects due to city approval process,.therefore more worthwhile to build a large project. Although Parking does not affect the FAR, it does take away from the height, and therefore it is impossible to get both parking and useable space within the volume. To acquire enough land for a parking garage, the land is more expensive when each lot is purchased from a different individual land owner. Although it might be possible to put parking underground (and underwater) it is costly and doesn t make sense in light of future sea level rise. These are key reasons why there has not been new development on 71 st.

58 Development Regulations & Approvals What we heard regarding 71 st Street: Uniform desire for 71st Street to become a real Main Street. Buildings on 71st should have a mix of uses: retail, office, and residential. Any new construction would need to provide additional parking for the users. The street needs to be welcoming and beautiful.

59 Now, moving forward. 71 st Street currently

63 Now, moving forward. 71st Street re-imagined

64 Now, moving forward. infill Buildings Retail Storefronts Shade trees Wider Sidewalks 71st Street re-imagined Protected Bike Lane Slower moving vehicles in narrower lanes

65 Now, moving forward. 71 st Street re-imagined

66 Now, moving forward. 71 st Street re-imagined: What about rebranding 71 st street with a name?

67 Now, moving forward. Don t put parking under the buildings that face 71 st Street: provides flexible footprints for courtyards and plazas Avoids long building facades that extend along the entire block edge 71 st Street Allow parking structures behind the original lots that face 71 st Street. These would be lined with useable space, for market rate or affordable retail, offices, or residential. The size of these would depend on how many lots can be acquired for the project. Parking structures could be provided by the private sector as part of a development project, or the City could undertake the construction of the parking garage to spur redevelopment of other properties by the development community by providing their parking for them. A framework to use in exploring changes to the development regulations.

Areas for Structured Parking 71 st Street Areas for Structured Parking Two Strategies: 1. Parking structures could be provided by the private sector as part of a development project, or 2. the City could undertake the construction of the parking garage to spur redevelopment of other properties by the development community by providing their parking for them. A framework to use in exploring changes to the development regulations.

87 Implementation Options Make It Happen a consistent comment Implementation typically a mix of regulations, incentives, and catalyst projects North Beach needs advocacy and services to succeed Possible options include CRA, BID BID most technically feasible North Beach Master Plan 2016

88 Implementation Options: BID Majority of property owner s agree to a modest additional property tax Funds administered directly by BID representatives within the BID area Services include security, sanitation, promotion, marketing, special events Process requires property owners to be financially able and willing, North Beach may not be there yet North Beach Master Plan 2016

89 Implementation Options: BID A number of local examples Many ways to structure districts, do not have to be exclusively commercial Property owners must be financially able and willing, North Beach may not be there yet North Beach Master Plan 2016

95 different perspectives on the RM-1 preservationists say preserve the buildings. make local districts of the national register districts human-scale and walkability characterize life in the RM-1 historic preservation = economic development (like in SoBe)

96 different perspectives on the RM-1 developers say allow 2 story buildings to become 12 (esp. on the water) the neighborhoods have higher poverty & crime rates than the rest of the city it s affordable housing but is it fair that so much of the island s affordable housing is in NoBe?

126 Embrace and Capitalize on MiMo Pushback against MiMo, not significant or worthy of preservation same thing happened in early days of Art Deco preservation Different opinions about the value of architectural styles MiMo has been objectively and popularly validated and should be cherished and capitalized on North Beach Master Plan 2016

127 Embrace and Capitalize on Mimo MiMo is a valuable community brand other cities with far more modest MiMo assets doing more to capitalize on them Preservation efforts with adaptive reuse provisions should continue MiMo should be celebrated in events, marketing, tours, graphics North Beach MiMo Design Center North Beach Master Plan 2016
