    8.1 GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES 8.1.1 Introduction The appearance and quality of City facilities can greatly impact the quality of life within the community. Because of the significant number of citizens who generally come in contact with the recreation program facilities, it is apparent that their condition and appearance will have a direct impact on their utilization. Therefore, in order to improve conditions and appearance of Parks and Recreation Facilities, the following goals, objectives and policies should be accomplished during the next five years. GOAL 1: The City of Hallandale Beach shall continue to upgrade public park and recreation facilities in an effort to assure a positive quality of life for all residents of the City. OBJECTIVE 1.1: The City shall establish a Parks and Recreation Improvement Plan in 2010 which explores the park and recreational needs of the community. This plan will be updated annually. POLICY 1.1.1: The City shall institute parks and recreation facility planning which has been identified in the Parks and Recreation Improvement Plan to meet the needs of the community. POLICY 1.1.2: The City shall maintain and enhance recreation and open space by implementing a recreation open space standard of 3.25 acres per 1,000 permanent residents. For the purpose of calculating this ratio, 28.44 acres of the Golden Isles Waterway shall be included in the inventory. POLICY 1.1.3: The City shall continue to coordinate public and private resources to ensure the recreational and open space needs of all City residents are met.

The 60,238 SF site offers the unique possibility to develop one of South Florida’s most ground-breaking projects. There has only been a select amount of land deals in the past few years available in this neighborhood, and it is not common to find anything over 20,000 SF on average. With its desirable size and mixed use zoning, one can develop over 300 units with a retail component. Wynwood has experienced some of the highest rental rates of any area of South Florida, exceeding $3 per SF, and retail rates exceeding $100 SF. As the area continues to grow and evolve into a world renowned destination, it is forecasted that both residential and retail rental rates will keep increasing. Major landmark projects such as the Florida Brightline and Society Wynwood, as well as major groups such as Goldman Sachs, Zafra Bank, Thor Equity and Related Group investing here, it is positioned to keep growing at an unprecedented rate.

  • Portmiami Cruise Terminal Miami, Florida
    CASE STUDY PortMiami Cruise Terminal Miami, Florida HISTORY In the early 1900s, a powerful hurricane hit the southern end of Florida, creating what is now called Government Cut, by splitting the southernmost tip of Miami Beach. This cut was dredged, along with a new channel, to Bicentennial Park in the heart of downtown Miami. The new access to the mainland created the Main Channel, and shipping access to the new port was greatly improved. The remains from the dredging were used to create three new islands, Dodge, Lummus, and Sam’s Islands. In 1960, the County and City commissioners of Miami-Dade approved the construction of the new PortMiami. This new port would be built on Dodge Island, which was to be connected to both Lummus and Sam’s Islands. Upon construction of the new seawalls, transit shed A, the administration building, and a new vehicle and railroad bridge, operations were transferred from the mainland port to the new PortMiami on the wholly man-made Dodge Island. PROBLEM PortMiami is recognized as the Cruise Capital of the World. It has retained its status as the number one cruise passenger port in the world for well over four decades, accommodating cruise vessels of many major cruise lines. In 2010, PortMiami handled more than 4.1 million cruise passengers. As the population of South Florida grew, so did the needs of PortMiami. The cruise industry supports one of the biggest economic generators for the region, tourism. PortMiami plans to remain number one by competing for the growing cruise industry. To accommodate for this growth, Unmatched Product Range Material Availability Manufacturing Capabilities Innovative Applications and Engineering Expertise CASE STUDY PortMiami Cruise Terminal the port must begin to invest in a new, larger Global and their supplier, Nucor Skyline, to PROJECT PARTNERS terminal complex.

  • Introduction Black Miamians Are Experiencing Racial Inequities Including Climate Gentrification, Income Inequality, and Disproportionate Impacts of COVID-19
    Introduction Black Miamians are experiencing racial inequities including climate gentrification, income inequality, and disproportionate impacts of COVID-19. Significant gaps in ​ wealth also define the state of racial equity in Miami. Black Miamians have a median wealth of just $3,700 per household compared to $107,000 for white 2 households. ​ These inequities ​ ​ reflect the consistent, patterned effects of structural racism and growing income and wealth inequalities in urban areas. Beyond pointing out the history and impacts of structural racism in Miami, this city profile highlights the efforts of community activists, grassroots organizations and city government to disrupt the legacy of unjust policies and decision-making. In this brief we also offer working principles for Black-centered urban racial equity. Though not intended to be a comprehensive source of information, this brief highlights key facts, figures and opportunities to advance racial equity in Miami. Last Updated 08/19/2020 1 CURE developed this brief as part of a series of city profiles on structural inequities in major cities. They were originally created as part of an internal process intended to ground ourselves in local history and current efforts to achieve racial justice in cities where our client partners are located. With heightened interest in these issues, CURE is releasing these briefs as resources for organizers, nonprofit organizations, city government officials and others who are coordinating efforts to reckon with the history of racism and anti-Blackness that continues to shape city planning, economic development, housing and policing strategies. Residents most impacted by these systems are already leading the change and leading the process of reimagining Miami as a place where Black Lives Matter.
