Short Title:
A resolution of the City Commission to adopt the CRA Redevelopment Plan and Finding of Necessity
(FON) addenda
Staff Summary: —7-1
The City of Opa -locka is committed to redeveloping certain areas of the City. The Mayor and City
Commission adopted the Finding of Necessity pursuant to Resolution No. 10-8043. Additionally, the
Planning Council met on May 8, 2012 and has adopted the redevelopment plan pursuant to 163 F.S. as
the local planning agency. Sec. 17 -17 of the City Code of Ordinances provides for a joint local planning
agency. This means that the redevelopment plan has to be adopted by the Planning Council,
respectively and the City Commission sitting as the City Commission. While we disagree with Miami -
Dade County's staff's recommendation we are proceeding in an abundance of caution by having both the
Planning Council and City Commission adopt the redevelopment plan.
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board has already adopted the CRA Plan. This was
adopted on February 8, 2012. Since that time, The CRA Director and Community Development staff met
with Miami -Dade County staff regarding the finding of necessity, redevelopment plan, and procedural
matters relating to Miami -Dade County's ratification of Opa- locka's CRA. At that meeting, County Staff
recommended we update Census information in the Finding of Necessity and provide an addendum to
the redevelopment plan previously submitted to address staff comments.

Re: Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Redevelopment Plan — Final Action
As you are aware, the Opa -locka CRA Board approved the CRA Redevelopment Plan on
February 8, 2012. This plan was then submitted to Miami -Dade County on February 21, 2012.
Miami -Dade County has sent communication in response to our request for approval. We have
been informed of the following:
1. The findings of necessity will be placed on the April 20, 2012 Miami -Dade Tax increment
Finance Committee meeting's agenda.
2. There are some elements of the Redevelopment Plan that will have to be addressed by
the consultant. These are minor and may be a matter of pointing out to the County where
this information exists in the plan. The elements are as follows:
a. Limitations on the type, size, height, number and proposed use of buildings (Ch.
163.362 (b))
b. Provide for retention of controls and establishment of restrictions or covenants
running with the land sold or leased for private use. (Ch. 163.362 (6))
c. Provide element of residential use in redevelopment area (Ch. 163.362 (8))
d. Plan does not deal with the displacement of residents (Ch. 163.362 (7))
3. The CRA Redevelopment Plan must be adopted by the Local Planning Agency.
Pursuant to Sec. 17 -17 of the City's Code of Ordinances, a Joint Planning Agency was
established consisting of the Planning Council and City Commission. We are placing the
CRA Redevelopment Plan on both meeting agendas.
Should you have additional questions regarding this memorandum, please contact me. Thank
you.

RE: Opa -locka CRA Plan Addendum
DATE: April 19, 2012
The following CRA Plan Addendum addresses certain specific requirements of
Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes, as they related to the preparation and
adoption of Community Redevelopment Plans in accordance with Sections
163.362. Provided below is a brief synopsis of each subsection requirement and a
brief description of how the redevelopment plan and adoption process meet
those requirements.
Limitations on the type, size, height, number and proposed use of buildings
(Chapter 163.362 (b))
Where the building sits on the land and how tall it is are vital elements of .
urban form. Streets should be thought of as three - dimensional public
rooms where the buildings serve as the walls. When buildings are set far
back from one another, pedestrians may feel psychologically lost or ill at
ease. When buildings are too close and too tall, there is a feeling of
constraint. This proportion of "street -wall height" to "road width" must
feel comfortable to the pedestrian. The prevalence of single story
buildings is not conducive to a comfortable street proportion and scale
when the roadway width is large. Deep building setbacks with large
parking lots in front are devastating to the street space and overall
pedestrian environment. The most effective way to ameliorate this
condition is to replace the suburban notion of a "front setback" for
buildings, which implies that anything goes as long as the building is
somewhere behind the line. Instead, the "build -to line," where one must
build up to a certain alignment, should be used. The type, size, height,
number, and use of buildings in the redevelopment area shall be limited
in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Land Use and
Development Regulations, and other regulations, and Codes of the City
and further regulated by the Agency
2. Provide for retention of controls and establishment of restrictions or covenants
running with land sold or leased for private use. (Ch. 163.362 (6))
For properties acquired and disposed to a private developer, development
controls shall include the City's Regulations and Codes. In addition, the
Agency may establish any restrictions or covenants to run with the land
sold or leased for private use for such periods of time and under such
conditions as the Community Redevelopment Agency deems necessary to
effectuate the purpose of the Redevelopment Plan. Zoning and Building
Permits within the Redevelopment Area will not be issued on properties
until the applicant has received written approval that the proposed
development is in compliance with the Redevelopment Plan, the City of
Carras Community Investment, Inc.
Opa- locka's Land Use and Development Regulations and Code of
Ordinances.
3. Provide element of residential use in redevelopment area (Ch. 163.362 (8))
Within the downtown core of the CRA, existing residential dwelling
units are comprised both of single, primarily owner - occupied, and multi-
family rental housing. In the commerce and industrial areas of the
CRA, there are no residential units. In the Magnolia North and Magnolia
Gardens neighborhoods, there is a predominance of single- family homes
along with small rental buildings in Magnolia North. Many of the
multifamily rental units are in poor condition with some abandoned
and vacant, particularly in Magnolia North. All of the housing stock in
the CRA is targeted to low - income residents with many of the units
utilizing Section 8 vouchers. The demographic characteristics are
changing with a dramatic increase of Hispanic households and single
heads of households. Household size is increasing, meaning that people
with families and extended families are in the CRA. The efforts
undertaken by the Agency, as described in this Redevelopment Plan, are
intended to retain and enhance a high quality of residential use,
particularly with regard to developing and maintaining sustainable
neighborhoods. CRA activities will strive to cultivate the positive
neighborhood characteristics cited by the community during public
meetings and forums and reduce or eliminate any negative
characteristics.
The establishment of a revitalized residential base in Opa -locka is essential
to achieve a successful economic redevelopment program. Residents
living within the redevelopment area now and in the future will comprise
components of the work force and the market, which will generate
economic activity.
4. Provide provisions for displacement of residents (Ch. 163.362 (7))
Redevelopment efforts are expected to encourage the development of
mixed -use and commercial projects that will increase the overall number
of residential units particularly where none, or few, exist today. Every
provision will be made to provide replacement housing for the relocation
of persons temporarily or permanently displaced. Relocation of residents
and businesses displaced as result of property acquisition by the
Community Redevelopment Agency will follow procedures that fulfill the
intent of Florida Statutes 421.55 and all other applicable laws and
regulations. Specifically, the Agency will provide supportive services and
equitable financial treatment to any individuals, families and businesses
subject to relocation. When feasible, the relocation impact will be
mitigated by assisting relocation within the immediate neighborhood and
by seeking opportunities to relocate within new/redeveloped buildings
that will contain residential and commercial space.
