Introduction Why MAeD?

The area known as The Miami Arts and Entertainment District (MAeD) is an urban mixed- use neighborhood within the OMNI CRA, located just north of Downtown Miami. It is bounded by NE 24th Street to the north, I-395 Interstate to the south, the Florida East Coast [FEC] Railway/ NE 2nd Avenue to the west, and to the east. OMNI is an emerging Media + Art and Entertainment District, MAeD, where art, events, restaurants and technology converge as a new economic hub for .

There’s a bustling mix of new construction to the north of NE 14th St that includes innovative businesses, studios and high-rises such as Canvas Condominium and Square Station, which will bring an estimated 2,500+ residents within the next 24 months. In the southern part of Omni, the Miami Innovation District and the Heritage Park, running parallel to I-395 expressway, will connect the Media + Art and Entertainment district/neighborhood with .

The Omni MAeD is home to Flea Market, a monthly event that attracts a growing number of small businesses such as food trucks, offering gourmet entrees, craft coffee and juice bar service, small businesses and entrepreneurs to the area. There are also in the neighborhood, the Miami-Dade County Public Schools and easy access to the final stop, the School Board Station.

For the district to continue to evolve, it must find a way to preserve its scale and historic character, while continuing to grow. Omni can leverage the strength of its media and arts industry while the new land uses and densities.

Boundaries

The Omni Community Redevelopment Agency [CRA] boundary is roughly bounded on the: North by NE 20th Terrace, South by Interstate 395, East by Biscayne Bay and West by NW 2nd Avenue.

Historic Significance

The 1300 block of North Miami Avenue is located within the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency boundaries, and is unique as one of the few remaining streetscapes in Miami that retains a majority of its pre-1960 buildings on both sides of the street. Why is this significant? Before the 1960s, the City of Miami Zoning Code did not require on- site parking; buildings built before the 1960s were built with shopfronts, office space, and residential space fronting the street, not parking, which contributed to the lively, active, pedestrian-friendly streetscapes that historic preservationists seek to preserve today, and that urban planners strive to replicate in new development.

Historically, this block was home to commercial supply establishments such as restaurant equipment; these uses remain in the majority of buildings today. The block also includes a unique seven-story apartment building (The Vera Building) that was considered eligible for the National Register for Historic Places until its windows were removed and boarded up in the late 2000s so that the building could be used for storage. The Citizens Bank of Miami building at 1367 North Miami Avenue is a locally- designated, vacant historic building that is considered eligible for the National Register for Historic Places.

When a historic survey of this block was conducted in 1995, the 1300 Block of North Miami Avenue was determined ineligible for listing on the National Register for Historic Places as a historic district, however the block could be eligible for designation as a local district, particularly when taking into consideration the fifty-year significance of all of the buildings (In 2017, buildings constructed prior to 1967 are now studied for historic significance, whereas in 1995, only buildings constructed prior to 1945 were considered.) The alterations to the buildings are superficial in nature, primarily boarding up of windows and storefronts, and it is reasonable to expect that the buildings on this block could be rehabilitated to their historic appearance through the replacement of windows and restoration of the original storefronts.

Streetscapes like the 1300 Block of North Miami Avenue are in high demand as a new generation of city-dwellers seeks out authentic, walkable places to shop, dine, work, and live. This block is located in an area that is rapidly changing, with convenient access to transit, I-395, regional arts and cultural centers, Downtown Miami, , Overtown, and . It has the potential to become a community gathering place, a unique collection of traditional lower-scale mixed use buildings amidst a neighborhood that is under construction with high- REPORT OF PLUSURBIA DESIGN LLC rise condominiums with parking podiums. On behalf of Dade Heritage Trust for the study of historic buildings at The block is already beginning to transform with new restaurants and 1300 block, NORTH MIAMI AVENUE bars located in buildings that were previously used as commercial for the Omni Community Redevelopment equipment supply or warehousing. It is advisable that incentives are put Agency, CRA. into place to retain the existing building fabric on this block, whether June 2017 through local historic designation or other planning and zoning tools.

Workshop: What did we learn ?

In late August, PlusUrbia Design and the OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) OMNI held a workshop focused on the Media & Entertainment District. Local stakeholders, a group composed of of business owners and real estate developers, participated in an exchange of ideas for the improvement of the District. The group discussed ways to: improve the urban quality of life, create safer environments for pedestrians, calm vehicular traffic, build housing for young professionals, create urban community space and preserve existing architectural style. PlusUrbia followed up by meeting one-on-one with the stakeholders and walking the project area with them to gain further insight into the opportunities of the neighborhood.

This report expresses the visioning of ideas and recommendations based on the information that prevailed throughout the meetings. Stakeholder visioning ideas focused on the streetscape, preservation of urban scale and architectural character, zoning, new development, and improving the quality of life and commercial activity. This report embodies the spirit of coming together to create a viable plan of action for the Omni’s Media + Art and Entertainment District.

“We want people to go to OMNI, not through it”

Analysis + Design Process 19

Connect the block, pedestrian oriented design.

“The stories define the buildings more than the architecture”

Design process of master plan.

“We want people to go to OMNI, not through it”

OMNI is in close proximity to a Metromover station to the north and the upcoming Heritage Park on the South, it should become a destination. Public transportation is a key element to bring people to the area.

1. Change Metromovers Station name to MAeD, emphasis the upcoming district as a destination. 2. Explore/Improve Pedestrian prioritization options. 3. Create a pedestrian “Scramble” / Raised Intersections 4. Explore replacing parking w/ expanded sidewalks + additional trees. 5. Explore reducing travel lanes / Improving Ped/Bike Areas 6. “Edge Parking” / No tour buses in Center 7. Create/Explore new pedestrian “Paseos” (pedestrian network.)

1. Create affordable spaces for rent [Office + micro units] 2. Create an entertainment outlet, bring mix-uses to create an ecosystem. 3. Create/build a general parking near Metromover Station to have parking reduction.
