Wasson, City Manager ---__ THROUGH- Joanne Carr, AICP, Community Development Director J-& W DATE- September 11, 2020 SUBJECT- Proposed Development of Hospital North District September 17, 2020 City Commission Workshop Agenda Item 3 After many years of land assemblage of 30 foot wide by 100 foot long platted lots in the block bounded by NE 214 Street to the north City limit and by Biscayne Boulevard to East Dixie Highway, there are now two owners of all the lots. The majority of the land is owned by Jasmin Investments and associated companies, with Ms. Jacki Tako as principal. The remainder lands are owned by Aventura Dixie LLC, with the Faith family as principal. The total lot area owned by the two companies is approximately 12 acres. These two owners are proposing a master development plan to the City. The owners' attorney' s letter dated August 5, 2020, the proposed master development plan and renderings are attached to this staff report. The development plan proposes the extension road westerly from Biscayne Boulevard to East Dixie Highway along with widening and improvements on NE 214 Street and on East Dixie Highway, at the developers' expense. It also proposes road closings by the City on NE 29 Court between NE 214 Street and NE 214 Terrace and on NE 214 Terrace between NE 28 Court and East Dixie Highway. Sketches showing the proposed road improvements and requested road closings are attached. In order to construct the extension road and improvements, the owners will be dedicating approximately 37, 300 square feet, or . 85 acres, of their properties for public roads. In turn, the City is being requested to close approximately 55, 700 square feet, or 1. 27 acres, of existing public roads as noted above. The landowners are requesting the following actions from the City: 1. An amendment to the City' s Comprehensive Plan clarifying that residential use in the Business and Office future land use category, may be allowed as conditional use. This action is a clean- up to the Comprehensive Plan since residential use, as a conditional use, is already allowed in the B1, Neighborhood Business District and the MO, Medical Office District zoning categories. 2. An amendment to the City' s Comprehensive Plan to increase maximum floor area ratio from 2. 0 to 2. 5, as a conditional use, for developments that dedicate to the City a minimum of 35, 000 square feet of land for public road construction and construct the road at the developer' s expense. 3. Amendments to the Medical Office District regulations to allow, as a conditional use, the following: increased height of 25 stories, where 12 stories are permitted. Additional height is already allowed in this zoning district if approved as a conditional use. No amendment to the LDRs is needed for this request increased FAR from 2. 0 to 2. 5 increased density from 45 dwelling units per acre to 60 dwelling units per acre, for developments that dedicate at least 35, 000 square feet of land for public road construction and construct the road at its expense and where a building permit is obtained within 24 months of the date of conditional use approval stand- alone retail uses when part of an overall master development plan increase from 15% to 20% of floor area for retail uses that are incorporated into non- residential or multifamily residential buildings, except uses fronting directly onto Biscayne Boulevard may be developed with 100% retail. 4. A rezoning of the land fronting Biscayne Boulevard from B2, Community Business District, to MO, Medical Office District to allow the proposed residential building shown on the master plan. The foregoing is provided for City Commission' s information and discussion. The landowners' attorney will be making a presentation at the workshop meeting. oil DocuSign Envelope ID: 7B32AA21- 5F88-4F4E- 9D37- 3A4B7EB99CB5 Bilzin Sumberg Brian S.

Country Club Drive, 4th Floor Aventura, Florida 33180 Re: Request for Workshop Proposed Amendments to Business and Office Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and Section 31- 144(f) MO District Land Development Regulations Dear Ms. Carr: Please consider this our request on behalf of our clients, Aventura Dixie LLC (" Aventura Dixie") and Jasmin Investments LLC (" Jasmin") ( collectively, " Owners") to be placed on the August 13, 2020, City Commission Workshop related to proposed modifications to the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan Business and Office Land Use Designation and the City of Aventura Medical Office (" MO") Zoning District. A. The Property Aventura Dixie and Jasmin collectively own approximately 12. 50 acres of property, located between Northeast 214 Street and the county line/ northern City of Aventura city limits, between Biscayne Boulevard and East Dixie Highway ( the " Property"). This area remains one of the last development parcels within the City of Aventura and has been an area of focus for redevelopment for over 20 years. The City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan since its original adoption in 1998 has singled this particular area as a focus for redevelopment. In fact, redevelopment of this particular area is one of three focus areas highlighted within the City of Aventura' s Comprehensive Plan Comp Plan") for redevelopment as recognized with specific reference on numerous pages of the City of Aventura' s Comprehensive Plan as highlighted on the attached as Exhibit " A". The three specific areas that were part of the City's focus for redevelopment since its incorporation are: Thunder Alley, the Hospital District, and the Biscayne Boulevard ( US1) Corridor. See Comp Plan Page 6 attached as Exhibit " A." The hospital area where the Property is located, remains mostly undeveloped and has been historically characterized by fragmented Biizin 4umber r Baeiia Prig & Axc•irod LLP 14,50 Rrickc!] .Avel, ue, 2 rd Floor, l̀iiami.

E Bilzin Sumberg ownership, misaligned and substandard streets in need of costly expansion and construction, and an absence of incentives or development potential to justify the costs associated with development of the property or to put it on par with developments east of Biscayne Boulevard, which enjoy water frontage, water views or sufficient developed infrastructure. B. City Comprehensive Plan: Historical and Current Promotion of Redevelopment of Hospital Area The objectives and policies of the original 1998 City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan emphasize within the very first page of text, and in the actual introduction, the need for redevelopment and upgrading of the hospital areas. See Exhibit " A" Comp Plan Page 4. While Thunder Alley has been realized, this particular area remains over two decades later as one of the major goals still in need of being achieved. The hospital area is not only the focus for redevelopment in the Introduction but various places throughout the Comp Plan. The Future Land Use Element specifically identifies the hospital district as an area to be redeveloped. ( See Exhibit " A", Comp Plan, Page 6.) Further, the City of Aventura Economic Development Component and Urban Design Elements, on Page 8 of the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan, also specifically encourage the redevelopment of the hospital area. See Exhibit " A". While the remainder of the other areas identified in the City Comp Plan as a focus for redevelopment have achieved the desired economic development and growth, those areas lie mainly east of Biscayne Boulevard, capitalizing on their natural attributes such as water frontage or water views or proximity to the mall, established roadway dedications and infrastructure or a core built- in residential density in the immediate area to support development. The area to the west of Biscayne Boulevard in the north Hospital District does not enjoy the same built- in natural attributes or densities or infrastructure/ roadway network to support development at the current limitations contained in the City Comprehensive Plan and land development regulations. Couple that with the fragmented ownership that required the literal acquisition of dozens of platted parcels under varied ownership over an extensive period of time, thus adding to the acquisition and carrying costs for the properties. While most properties east of Biscayne Boulevard are comprised of a single or limited number of properties, the fragmented ownership has historically contributed to the other impediments to redevelopment. Further, the Property is not waterfront and not only does not provide the same development opportunities as waterfront or water -view properties, or areas where density is incorporated, but also has an insufficient roadway network in extensive need of dedication and costly redevelopment that has historically impeded its redevelopment. Proper development and alignment of NE 214 Street requires a total reconfiguration of the westbound intersection, extensive dedication for the lengthy anticipated roadway and a widening of the current street. Additionally, to properly enter the area given the angle of Biscayne Boulevard not only envisions the re -alignment of Northeast 214 Street, mast arms and coordination with the County and Florida Department of Transportation, but it has been determined that a southbound dedication and development of a deceleration lane along Biscayne Boulevard is required. Coupled with the dedication and widening of Northeast 214 Street into a proper east -west access, between MIAMI 7153981. 6 85075/ 91949 DocuSign Envelope ID: 7B32AA21- 5F88-4F4E- 9D37- 3A4B7EB99CB5 Ms. Joanne Carr uggust 2020 _ APa e35, Bilzin Sumberg Biscayne Boulevard and East Dixie Highway, substantial additional dedication and construction expenditures are required. C. Opportunity Zone Furthermore, the State of Florida specifically recognizes and identifies the area where the Property is located as an Opportunity Zone, recognizing the area is encouraged for growth and development. There are limited areas within the NE Dade corridor that have been identified as such areas, highlighting the focus on desired redevelopment in this section. D. Floor Area Ratio (" FAR") Limitations Currently, the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan caps FAR on the Property to 2. 0. As the City of Aventura is aware, the Virgin Train Station is proposed to be located on Biscayne Boulevard and Dixie Highway to the south of this Property. The Ojus area is an identified urban center district located to the south of the Property in unincorporated Miami -Dade County, south of the City of Aventura commencing at Ives Dairy Road. The area adjacent to Dixie Highway and Biscayne Boulevard in this district not only does not establish a maximum FAR of 2. 0, but, to the contrary, require a minimum FAR. In the core district, which is similarly situated to the Property, the established minimum FAR is 3. 0, with a permitted density of 125 units per acre. Further, the Optima development to the north located in Hallandale Beach, has an approximate FAR of 5. 0, and is developed to 28 stories at approximately 360 feet. Therefore, the properties to the north and south of the City to the West of Biscayne Boulevard, in the Ojus Urban Center District and Hallandale have been developing at substantially higher FAR, with numerous projects, either already approved or underway with FAR' s ranging above 4. 5, and with an established minimum FAR of 3. 0. Based on the specific focus within the City of Aventura' s Comprehensive Plan for the redevelopment of this area, which focus has been in excess of two decades, the fact that the Property has been identified as an opportunity zone, and the proposed increase in transit and the cost and expense of redeveloping this area, including the need to re -align the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard, and, in order to create a proper gateway for this area, we propose that the potential development of the Property be increased to allow for both the increase of floor area ratio and density to create a developable area that will support a balanced mixed use development of office, commercial, hotel, and residential uses supportive of redevelopment of the area and of the remaining portion of the hospital district to the north. In that regard, we propose two potential modifications, one to the Comprehensive Plan and one to the Land Development Regulations as delineated below. E. A. Modification to the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Development: The Business and Office subsection of the City of Aventura Future Land Use Element is located on Page 12 of the Comprehensive Plan. In order to promote redevelopment of this historically bypassed area, we propose two specific revisions to this section. The first revision is to Paragraph 1 to allow for residential uses as a conditional use in the business and office MIAMI 7153981. 6 85075/ 91949 DocuSign Envelope ID: 7B32AA21- 5F88-4F4E- 9D37- 3A4B7EB99CB5 Ms. Joanne Carr August 5, 2020 Page 4 Bilzin Sumberg designated areas. While the City's land development regulations already provide for residential uses in both the B1 and MO zoning districts, the Comprehensive Plan is silent on such uses. Therefore, to clarify and ensure the land development regulations are consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan, we recommend inserting a sentence within the first paragraph of the Business and Office Designation as follows: Residential uses may only be permitted as a conditional use in combination of the other uses permitted in this land use category, as more specifically provided in the and development regulations. The second proposed modification to the Comprehensive Plan would be to Paragraph 3, of the Business and Office subsection on page 12 to provide for a maximum FAR of 2. 5, as a conditional use, limited to developments that are required to dedicate a minimum of 35, 000 square feet of land for public road construction purposes, and where a developer or owner would be constructing such road at the developer's expense. As noted above, development of the Property would require realignment, dedication and development of NE 214th Street, which will come at a very significant cost. NE 214 Street is an elongated road, stretching from Biscayne Boulevard to East Dixie Highway. The proposed change to the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan is in recognition of the unique nature of this particular non -waterfront property, that has been long identified under the City Comprehensive Plan for redevelopment by providing the additional development incentives necessary to offset the cost of the roadway construction. F. Modification to City of Aventura Land Development Regulations Medical Office MO") District. Additionally to implement the Comprehensive Plan policies outlined above, we propose modifications to Section 31- 144( f), the " MO", Medical Office District. Specifically, we propose the creation of section 31- 144( f)(2)( r), which would only apply to developments dedicating a minimum of 35, 000 square of public roads for construction purposes, where the developer will construct the road, to allow for increase intensity, including an increased FAR ratio of 2. 5, and an increased density not to exceed 60 dwelling units per acre. In order to promote the incorporation of retail, hotel, and office development within the area, increase in residential density is needed to bring the core residences within walking distance or close proximate to the other uses within this area, such that it can attract uses such as a grocery stores and hotels and additional office uses, while providing housing within walking distance for the established medical uses to the south. The exiting medical facilities have extensive staff could benefit by nearby housing within walking distance to the existing and future office and service uses within the area. The increased density will allow potential residents to avail themselves of the proposed convenient residences while attracting the other companion types of uses, such as the office, retail, etc. Additionally, there are a few other modifications that we are requesting as it relates to the MO district. Section 31- 144( f)(3) provides that retail uses as a stand- alone use is prohibited. We propose a clarification to this section that provides: " However stand- alone retail uses incorporated as a part of an overall mixed -use development plan shall not be prohibited MIAMI 7153981. 6 85075/ 91949 DocuSign Envelope ID: 7B32AA21- 5F88- 4F4E- 9D37- 3A4B7EB99CB5 Ms. Joanne Carr ( August s, 2020 Page 5 '_ Bilzin Sumberg purposes of this subsection." As part of the proposed redevelopment there may be limited retail uses or pavilion type uses that are incorporated into the proposed site plan to create varied heights within the district. This would allow for such uses to incorporate as part of an overall site plan without being a traditional stand- alone retail use, that is otherwise discouraged by this Section. Additionally, we propose modifying the conditional use Section 31- 144( f)(2)( d) which provides that retail uses as part of a non- residential or multi -family residential development shall not exceed fifteen percent ( 15%) of the total gross interior square footage of the building. We propose that this be modified to twenty percent ( 20%) in order to accommodate such uses as grocery stores or other types of uses. Further, because the Property along Biscayne Boulevard contains approximately two ( 2) acres that are currently zoned B2, which would be permitted to develop one -hundred percent as stand- alone retail. In order preserve the ability to provide retail along Biscayne Boulevard, we propose that the properties directly fronting along Biscayne Boulevard retain the ability to develop for standalone retail at 100% of the site. However, when part of an overall development site, by increasing the permitted retail to twenty percent ( 20%) it would allow for such retail uses to be incorporated throughout the district and allow Biscayne Boulevard to be defined by other uses such as a hotel fronting on Biscayne Boulevard. G. Proposed Development As part of this request we are attaching a representative plan of what our client would be seeking, which includes a height of approximately 25 stories, with an FAR of 2. 5 and 60 dwelling units with retail constitution up to 20% of the FAR. The plan includes dedication and abandonment of rights of way in order to realign the entrance to the area from Biscayne Boulevard, and to close portions of NE 214th Terrace and NE 29th Court to allow for NE 214th Street to serve as the main east -west roadway. H. Conclusion Based on the foregoing, and to implement the remaining focus area for redevelopment as specifically highlighted in the City of Aventura comprehensive plan that has existed for over twenty ( 20) years, and in recognition of the Property being located in an Opportunity Zone, non - waterfront and in an area with required dedication and increased redevelopment cost, we respectfully request the City approve the proposed modifications set forth in this request. To facilitate your review, we have provided the proposed modifications to the Comprehensive Plan and Code as Exhibit " B". Thank you for your attention of the foregoing. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at ( 305) 350- 2351. Very truly yours, 6iak, S. Q) JJ- r Brian S.

Included are retail, wholesale, personal and professional services, commercial and professional offices, hotels, motels, hospitals, medical buildings, nursing homes, entertainment and cultural facilities, amusements and commercial recreation establishments. However, private commercial marinas may only be permitted as a conditional use as contained within the land development regulations. Residential uses may be permitted only as a conditional use in combination with the other uses permitted in this category as more specifically provided by the land development regulations. These uses may occur in self- contained centers, high- rise structures, campus parks, Town Centers or in nodes defined by the intersection of two arterial roadways or the intersection of an arterial and a local or collector street. Additionally, the Metropolitan Urban Center ( MUC) designation as described and adopted within the Miami -Dade Comprehensive Master Development Plan may be applied as an overlay within this land use category. The specific range and intensity of uses appropriate in a particular Business and Office property is dependent on the particular land use, design, urban services, transportation, environmental and social conditions on and around the subject parcel at the time of approval including consideration of applicable goals, objectives and policies, and the provisions of applicable land development regulations which serve to implement the comprehensive plan. The maximum allowable development intensity shall be a floor area ratio of total building square footage ( not including parking structures) divided by the net lot area of the development parcel of 2. 0. This maximum intensity may be increased to 2. 5, as a conditional use, for developments that dedicate to the City a minimum of 35, 000 square feet of land for public road construction purposes and construct the road at the developer' s expense as more specifically provided by the land development regulations Actual intensities approvable to a given site maybe significantly lower than the maximum where necessary to conform to an overriding Plan policy, or to maintain compatibility of the development with its surroundings. The maximum intensity allowable on a given site shall also be contingent on the ability of the developer to ensure appropriate transitions and buffers with the surrounding neighborhood, and to alleviate impacts that will adversely impact service levels and quality of life. Sec. 31- 144. - Business Zoning Districts. a) Purpose.
