NCAC#18 Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee Meeting May 30, 2014 · Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee May30, 2014 Workforce Housing Page 3 of3 In Miami, the Related Group, for example, has developed several workforce housing developments using public parking as an anchor creating affordable home ownership opportunities. The Related Group entered into long-term leases on garages owned by the City of Miami where parking is used by the public during the day and residents of Loft 2 and Loft 3 at night. The one-bedroom units were sold from $119,000 to 159,000 and the developments included amenities such as pools and gyms, according to "As Luxury Market Cools, the Need for Affordable Units Heats Up" published in March 2007. The Related Group's Civic Center project, a 1,000-unit development, was constructed on 12 acres of city­ owned land and has affordability deed restrictions on half of the units. The remaining units have deed restrictions impacting re-sales only. The South Florida area has quite a few affordable housing developers in addition to the Related Group, including, but not limited to, Pinnacle Housing Group, Carrfour Supportive Housing, Peninsula Developers, and Cornerstone Group, to name a few. As communities explore the development of workforce housing, several factors are typically considered including: • Workforce being served {oftentimes focusing on employees essential to the local economy, i.e. service industry or public sector personnel); • Affordability (ensuring that housing costs are a reasonable percentage of the median wages of those intended to be served- typically 30%) ; • Proximity (the distance between the employment opportunities and the available housing); and • Quality and supply (the number of units made available and amenities provided should reflect the needs of the targeted residents, i.e. access to quality child care and access to high-performing public schools if families are being targeted). Communities often look at additional factors such as accessibility and promotion of public transportation to minimize traffic congestion while improving housing affordability and the inclusion of other public services. Our community's geographic and infrastructure limitations will require creative approaches to increasing the availability of affordable workforce housing including the exploration of mixed use developments and the use multiple funding sources. The City is prepared to explore opportunities for sustainable development in collaboration with experienced, fiscally capable developers. Conclusion Workforce housing is an effective tool in retaining critical workforce members. While the City has some funding that can be incorporated into this effort as appropriate, additional incentives and private investment and cooperation may be necessary. The Administration is seeking further direction including the establishment of affordability criteria, eligibility and location, among other factors JMUKGB/MLR F:\neig\Homeless\CHILDREN\$ALL\Commission Committees\Workforce Housing NCAC May 2014.doc NCAC#18 Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee Meeting May 30, 2014 · AN EVALUATION OF THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS OF THE CITY AND THE IMPACT ON QUALITY OF LIFE. Commission Item C4C, Apri/23, 2014 (Requested by Office of the City Manager) Max Sklar, Tourism, Culture, and Economic Development Director presented the item. ITEM #8 NCAC#19 MIAMI BEACH City of Miami Beach, 1700 Convention Center Drive, M iami Beach , Florida 33139, www.miamibeachfl.gov COMMISSION MEMORANDUM TO: DATE : May 30, 2014 SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING AN ALUATION OF THE CALENDAR OF ANNUAL SPECIAL EVENTS AND THE IMPACT ON QUALITY OF LIFE. ANALYSIS The City hosts a wide variety of special events that enrich the community for both visitors and residents. To mitigate the ever-increasing demands made upon City resources, infrastructure and residents quality of life, applicants are required to present proposed special event activities to potentially impacted neighborhood associations and appropriate City departments to ensure that these events are compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods. This process assists in evaluating and assessing the City's resources to adequately protect the public safety, health and welfare of the community in terms of personnel and use of public property and right-of-ways. The intent of the Special Event Ordinance and the Special Events Requirements and Guidelines is: • To insure the City will have adequate advance notice of a proposed special event and the cooperation of the organizers to adequately plan City services (such as security, sanitation, parking, and traffic control) that may be required for such an event. • To insure that the City's beaches, parks, and public right-of-ways are protected and conserved, by limiting the number and type of events held in these areas; and • To preserve the City's commitment to attract quality events with significant cultural and entertainment enrichment for the community at-large. • To preserve, in so much as possible, the quality of life of the City's residents. Attached is an excerpt from the City's Special Events Requirements and Guidelines with the criteria used for granting special event permits. The Administration could develop additional criteria that would help address some of the quality of life impacts if the Committee desires. In an effort to help develop this new criteria City staff is seeking direction on the following: • What type of limitation, if any, should be places on events that impact traffic? If the desire is to limit events that impact traffic in more than one area of the City (ie, races) to no more than one day each month, then potential conflicts include: • Miami Marathon/ Half Marathon and their Tropical SK (January) • South Beach Triathlon and AIDS Walk (April) • BK Fun Run and Halloween Half Marathon (October) • Chanukah Car Parade and Live Ultimate Half Marathon (December) NCAC#20 If the desire is to limit events that impact traffic in more than one area of the City (ie, races) to no more than one day each quarter, then potential conflicts include: • Miami Marathon/ Half Marathon, Tropical 5K, Great Eskate, Dolphins Cycling Challenge, Miami Beach 13.1 (January- March) • South Beach Triathlon and AIDS Walk (April - June) • BK Fun Run, Halloween Half Marathon, Chanukah Car Parade, Live Ultimate Half Marathon (October - December) • Should race I ride events be restricted to one main causeway (195 or 395), allowing flowing access on the alternate?

For the last few years, the most common question for our Committee after race weekend has been, “How are you going to top this year’s event?” In the wake of a 2012 weekend that included nationally televised U.S. Olympic Trials Marathons for both men and women, as well as our annual slate of races where the winners broke the tapes with four record-breaking performances, that question has never been more common or more relevant.
