This Article defines terms used in this Appendix that are technical in nature or that might not be otherwise reflected in common usage of the word. Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning provided in Miami 21. The definitions listed below shall only apply within the SAP Area.

Article 4. Table 5 of Miami 21 shall apply within the SAP Area, however, with the following exceptions as they relate to ARC Buildings:

1. For Automated Parking Systems, dimension requirements for parking stalls, Parking Structures, and parking lots (including but not limited minimum drive aisle width, minimum parking stall dimensions, and minimum spacing between stalls and a walls or columns) shall be considered referential guidelines. See Section 3.6.11.
2. Drive aisle widths within ARC Buildings may be reduced where designated for inventory, are not accessible to the public, and are staff or valet-only accessed.
3. No minimum loading requirements shall apply to Building Floor Area dedicated to ARCs. Where a Building includes a mix of ARC Use(s) and other Uses, loading berth requirements for each respective Use shall apply. Loading may be substituted or reduced consistent with Miami 21 and this Regulating Plan. The configuration of Loading areas for the ARC(s) can be shared with other proposed Uses.
4. Where it can be demonstrated that safe ingress and egress and all applicable Life-Safety requirements are satisfied, the requirements of Article 4. Table 5 may be modified as to Vehicle inventory and Vehicle storage within ARCs.

Auto-Related Commercial Establishment (“ARC”): A place of business serving auto-related needs including, but not limited to showrooms; rental; wash; fueling and charging; gas stations and filling services; internalized mechanic services including repairs, maintenance, paint, and bodywork; major overhaul of engine or engine parts; retail sales of new and used; retail sales and installation of auto parts; tires; shows and exhibitions; and supplies. Uses not included: outdoor sales; outdoor storage of automobiles not in operating condition; commercial Parking Structure or commercial lot; or any exterior work involving undue noise, glare, fumes or smoke; all of which are considered auto-related industrial activities. Vehicle inventory, circulation, and valet areas shall not be considered Habitable Spaces for parking calculation purposes. Within the SAP Area, all ARCs must be associated with “franchised motor vehicle dealers” licensed pursuant to Section 320.27 of the Florida Statutes. See Article 6 of this Regulating Plan.

This section provides definitions for terms in this Code that are technical in nature or that might not be otherwise reflect a common usage of the word. If a term is not defined in this Article, the Zoning Administrator shall determine the correct definition of the term.

Automated Parking System: Mechanical parking systems where human drivers deliver a vehicle for transfer into a designated surface lot or Parking Structure without the further assistance of a human driver. Because Automated Parking Systems offer a more efficient means of vehicle storage and generally do not require the same amount of area, typical dimension requirements (such as minimum drive aisle width and parking stall dimensions) do not apply. Instead, such dimensions may be approved as described in Section 3.6.11 of this Regulating Plan.

Auto-Related Commercial Building (“ARC Building”): Mixed-Use Buildings with sixty-five percent (65%) or more of Podium Floor Area dedicated to ARC Use(s).

Automotive Service Bays: A Habitable Space for the repair and service of automobiles and other vehicles including but not limited to all services offered by ARCs, or for the preparation of such automobiles or vehicles prior to receiving such services. Automotive Service Bays may serve as Liners where they have a direct view of the enfronting streets or public or private Open Space. An Automotive Service Bay may accommodate more than one automobile or vehicle at a single time. See Article of this Regulating Plan 6 for additional regulations.

Design Guidelines: Plans, drawings, and diagrams which accompany and illustrate the intent of this Appendix. Commonly referred to as the “Concept Book.”

Large Scale Commercial: A commercial business occupying more than 55,000 square feet of habitable Floor Area, including but not limited to retail or wholesale sales, membership warehouse clubs, discount stores and department stores. Within the SAP Area, ARCs shall not be considered Large Scale Commercial Uses. See Article 6 of this Regulating Plan.

Parking, Tandem: Specific to ARCs, the placement of up to three (3) vehicles either behind or above the other(s), as opposed to side by side.

SAP Area: The parcels or areas of land subject to this Special Area Plan as described in Article 2, Section 2A and Illustration 2.1 of this Regulating Plan.

Copy Area: The area computed by surrounding each Identification or Secondary Identification Sign with a square or rectangle shape to determine the area

Directional Sign: Vehicular or pedestrian-scale signage containing multiple messages that serve to identify the Braman Miami Campus and guide or direct the public safely to destinations within the district. Directional Signs may be located on private property or, subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works, within the Public Right-of-Way. Directional Signs may be combined with address Signs but shall bear no advertising matter and may be directed to guide visitors to entrances, exits, retailer/tenants, or Parking Areas. The words "advertising matter" shall not be construed to include graphic logos, registered trade names, or elements of the district identity that may be incorporated as part of the Sign aesthetics. The size of a Directional Sign, and copy thereon, shall be scaled appropriately to the speed of the traffic in the surrounding area of said Sign.

Gateway Sign: A large-scale, mounted identity Sign of not greater than 2,000 square feet in size that serves to identify the district. Gateway Signs must be located a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet above street level. A Gateway Sign may include or be comprised solely of an Art installation and recognition of the installation sponsor or donor, in which the sponsor or donor recognition shall be limited to one (1) recognition comprising no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the art installation forming all or a part of the Gateway Sign. Art installations forming part of a Gateway Sign shall not contain any point-of-sale signage or commercial product expression related to the donor or sponsor and shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Director. Gateway Signs shall be oriented to face major traffic Thoroughfares, such as Biscayne Boulevard, NE 2nd Avenue, and NE 20th Street, and shall be limited to no more than three (3) such Signs within the Braman Miami SAP Area. Gateway Signs shall not contain video or animated elements. Gateway Signage shall be approved as part of an SAP Signage Package.

Notice or Warning Sign: Signs limited to providing notice concerning posting of property against trespassing, directing deliveries or indicating location of entrances, exits or parking on public or private property; indicating location of buried utilities, warning against hazardous conditions; prohibiting salesman, peddlers, or agents, and the like.

SAP Signage Package: A comprehensive signage proposal consisting of Gateway Signs, Directional Signs, and other permissible signage for all or a Block(s) of the Braman Miami SAP requiring approval by SAP Permit for Signage that deviates from the requirements of this Regulating Plan.

Sign Area: Signs shall be comprised of individual letters, figures or elements on a wall or similar surface of the Building or Structure. The area and dimension of the Sign shall encompass a regular geometric shape or a combination of regular geometric shapes, which form, or approximate, the perimeter of all elements in the Display Surface, the frame, and any applied background that is not part of the architecture of the Building. When separate elements are organized to form a single Sign and are separated by open space, the Sign area and dimensions shall be calculated by determining the geometric form or combination of forms, which comprise all the Sign area, including the space between different elements, less the space attributed to any elements not comprising part of the Copy Area.

Woonerf: A vehicular street designed to be primarily Open Space available for civic purposes and programed activities with the interests of pedestrians and cyclists in mind. A Woonerf shall be created within the SAP Area within the portion of NE 20 Terrace between Biscayne Boulevard and NE 2 Avenue, as shown on page A-60 of the Design Guidelines (the “Woonerf”). Buildings fronting the Woonerf shall be considered a Principal Frontage.

The area subject to this SAP (the “SAP Area”) is generally described as bounded:

1. On the North, by the centerline of NE 21ST Street;
2. On the East, by the centerline of Biscayne Boulevard and the east property line of the Lot identified by folio number 01-3231-002-0081;

6. Modification to a Previously Approved SAP Permit.
   1. Where a building permit application proposes a change to plans authorized by a previously approved SAP Permit, the Zoning Administrator or their designee shall determine whether the proposed plans substantially comply with the plans approved by the SAP Permit. Building permit plans in substantial compliance with a previously approved SAP Permit shall not require further approval by the Planning or Zoning Departments.
   2. Where the Zoning Administrator determines that plans associated with a building permit application do not substantially comply with a previously approved SAP Permit, the Planning Director shall determine whether the proposed changes are “minor”. Minor modifications are those which comply with all applicable Code regulations and include, but are not limited to:
      1. Changes that conform with this Regulation Plan; or
      2. Changes that do not materially alter the manner of operation of the approved site;
      3. Changes in project phasing;

      5. Movement of the footprint of a structure’s footprint not more than 10 feet in any horizontal direction and provided the change complies with transect regulation.
         
         All applications for minor modifications to an approved plan shall be reviewed in light of their cumulative effect on the original approved plan, taking into account Building Disposition, Configuration, Function, and other Code standards.
   3. In the event that the Planning Director determines that proposed change to plans previously authorized by a previously approved SAP Permit are not minor, then a new SAP Permit shall be required to approve such changes.

Properties located within the SAP Area may be subject to a declaration of restrictive covenant(s) in lieu of Unity of Title in a form approved by the City and the City Attorney, which documents permits and facilitates the flexible allocation of Development Capacity and Heights for Lots, sites and parcels located throughout the SAP Area as long as the overall Height and Building mass distribution for the entirety of the SAP Area is not out of Scale or character with the underlying Transect Zone. As such, any such covenant in lieu of Unity of Title will be consistent with: (i) the land development regulations for the SAP Area contained in Miami 21, this Regulating Plan, the Concept Book, and the Development Agreement; and (ii) the goals, policies, and objectives of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. Lot(s) sharing density or development capacity shall provide a clear allocation accounting as part of the Zoning Data for corresponding projects. Development rights associated with parcels within the SAP shall be retained within the SAP Area.

This Article describes the guidelines for development of Thoroughfares throughout the City. It supplements the design standards adopted in the City of Miami Manual of Engineering Standards for Design and Construction, maintained in its most current form at the City of Miami Department of Public Works. Where these guidelines conflict with the Manual, the standards of the Manual shall apply except that the Manual’s requirements shall be interpreted in light of this Regulating Plan’s guidance. Wherever the Manual’s requirements allow flexibility or are ambiguous, the Manual shall be interpreted to allows such mitigation.

Thoroughfares must evolve with the needs of the City. As Miami continues to grow, a Thoroughfare may change in character reflecting new density, or conversely, a return to an historic dimension. For instance, a continuous lawn planter may be replaced with individual tree wells for additional sidewalk space, or a wide neighborhood street may be narrowed to control traffic intrusion.

As Miami continues to grow, and as local and global environmental conditions changes, the heat island effect and resilience must be primary considerations in design. Accordingly, the provisions of this Article shall be interpreted to allow measures to reduce the heat island effect and keep public streets cooler. Such measures may include increases in landscaping, the use of shade trees, the use of shade devices or structures, and the use of construction materials designed to best manage albedo for the comfort and benefit of pedestrians.

The following general standards shall apply with regard to Signs located within the Braman Miami SAP, in addition to provisions appearing elsewhere in this Code. The regulations here recognize that franchise motor vehicle dealerships are typically required by franchise deals to provide a minimum level of advertisement for each auto brand (e.g., BMW, Mini, Chrysler, etc.). These rules grant some flexibility to allow advertising multiple brands while offering high quality design.

1. Limits on Number of Signs. Where an ARC features more than one car franchise or brand in a Building, limits on the number of Signs per Building shall be applied on a per-brand basis. Nonetheless there shall be signage for no more than seven (7) brands per ARC. Projecting and wall signs shall be approved by SAP Permit.
2. Aggregate Area. The Aggregate Area Ratio within the SAP Area shall be 1.5 sq.ft. per linear Frontage. The Aggregate Area shall be calculated by using the following formula: (total linear Building Frontage) x (Aggregate Area ratio); 1,000 sq.ft. max per Frontage. The Aggregate Area may be exceeded through the SAP Signage Package, below.
3. Auto Franchise/Brand Logo Treatment. Architectural Features that are a part of a Building and Façade expression, and that incorporates artistic interpretation of car franchise or car brand’s name, image or logo mark shall not be counted toward the maximum number of Signs or the Aggregate Sign Area for the purposes of Article 10, Table 15. Such Architectural Features, other than those associated with Phases 1A, 1B, and 4 as shown on page A-03 of the Design Guidelines, shall be approved by SAP Permit subject to compliance with compliance with the design review criteria set forth in Miami 21, Article 4, Table 12.
4. Signage above fifty (50) feet within the SAP Area shall be included in a SAP Signage Package or shall require an SAP Permit, and shall not be subject to the limitations of Miami 21, Section 10.3.6. The Signs shall be subject to the Design Review Criteria included in Article 4 Table 12.
5. Building Address Signs. Building addresses will not be calculated as part of aggregate wall Sign Area.
6. Inlaid Entry Vestibule Floor Signs. Not more than one (1) such Sign not exceeding ten (10) square feet in area, may be recessed into the floor, located solely at an entry vestibule, and integrated flush into the surrounding flooring system. Such Signs must be fabricated out of durable, non-slip materials. Inlaid Entry Vestibule Floor Signs shall not be calculated as part of aggregate wall Sign Area or limits on the number of Signs.
7. Interior Signs. Signage, mounted inside an ARC a minimum of seven (7) feet beyond the Shopfront Facade, viewed from the pedestrian walkway will not be calculated as part of Aggregate Sign Area or maximum number of Signs.
8. Video and animated architectural Facade treatments may be used as approved by SAP Permit, subject to all applicable laws and regulations; all other applicable laws, including applicable Miami-Dade County sign regulations, regarding signage must be complied with.

This Appendix to Miami 21 shall be known as the “Braman Miami Campus Special Area Plan” or the “Braman Miami Campus SAP.” This Appendix is part of the Miami 21 Zoning Code. Its purpose is to serve as the “Regulating Plan” for the Braman Miami Campus SAP. It sets out regulations for future development within the Braman Miami Campus SAP Area. The Regulating Plan acknowledges the existing T6-8-O, T6-12-O, T6-36A-O, and T6-36B-O zoning in place at the time the Braman Miami Campus SAP is established, and provides regulations supplemental to that existing zoning as it relates to ARCs within the SAP Area.

This Regulating Plan is declared to be in accord with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, as required by the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Section 163.3161 et seq., Florida Statutes (the “Comprehensive Plan”).

The Braman Miami Campus SAP is designed to reimagine the existing, legally established automotive Use through the lens of the pedestrian by master planning the area into a cohesive and forward-thinking campus. At the heart of this SAP is the recognition that automobiles are a critical part of the City’s transportation systems and that access to essential automobile services in proximity to population density presents sound urban planning. The Braman Miami Campus uses automobile iconography to pay homage to the SAP Area’s past, present, and future and thereby sets the example for how automotive-focused concepts may be implemented at the pedestrian Scale in an urban context. Public and private Frontages will be enhanced with existing and new trees, street furniture, lighting, and functional design elements. Pedestrian and bicyclist connectivity will be prioritized and expanded, which is critical for an area in such proximity to the burgeoning Wynwood, Omni and Edgewater neighborhoods. The abutting road network, trolley, and bus routes provide additional linkages for employees, residents and guests alike. The Frontages plan does not propose changes to the existing grid but confirms Principal and Secondary Frontages for the avoidance of doubt.

Braman Motors has been an economic engine in the City of Miami since 1975. In the last 50 years, Braman Motors has actively contributed to the evolution of Miami. The automotive company has employed thousands and invested millions into the City and surrounding community. Today, Braman Motors directly employs over 600 people and supports countless vendors and contractors as it serves both the neighborhood residents’ and central business district commuters’ automotive needs. The Braman Miami Automotive Training Center employs classes of 20 young adults every 18 months. Tuition, equipment, tools, and laptops are offered free of charge and without any obligation to work at Braman Motors, although many receive and accept offers of employment. Braman Motors’ commitment to the City of Miami has never been stronger than it is today.

Braman Motors intends to make new and greater investments in the City and its immediate community. The Braman Miami Campus SAP will help maintain Braman Motors as an economic engine and significant employer within the City of Miami for generations to come by:

1. Making modest adjustments to Miami 21’s standard regulations that will facilitate the continued innovation of state-of-the-art automotive Uses within the Braman Miami Campus, in the urban core of the City, while preserving Miami 21’s broader design goals.
2. Allowing for Public Benefit commitments made as part of the SAP’s companion Chapter 163 Development Agreement.
3. Allowing for the future Adaptive Use and redevelopment of existing Buildings to minimize the environmental impact of future demands for new construction.

This Appendix shall modify Miami 21 regulations to the extent indicated herein for all properties within the SAP Area.

Where the requirements of this Appendix conflict with the broader requirements of Miami 21, this Appendix shall govern. Where this Appendix is silent as to any particular regulations, Miami 21’s general provisions shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to effectuate this Appendix’s intent, purpose, and goals.

Lots assembled into one (1) ownership may be developed as a single Lot. Lots assembled into one (1) ownership that encompass more than one (1) Transect Zone shall be developed according to the corresponding Transect regulation for each Lot. Within the SAP Area, Density may be transferred across Transect boundaries between assembled Lot(s) so long as the Density associated with the SAP Area is not exceeded. Lot(s) sharing Density shall provide a clear density allocation accounting as part of the Zoning Data for corresponding projects. Development rights associated with parcels within the SAP shall be retained within the SAP Area. Where Lot(s) are assembled into one (1) ownership, the side or rear Setbacks sharing the Property Line may be eliminated. Lot assembly shall require a Unity-of-Title or covenant in lieu of Unity of Title acceptable to the City Attorney. There shall be no maximum Lot size within the SAP Area.

Principal and Secondary Frontages for each Lot in the SAP Area shall be as identified in the Design Guidelines.

1. A Story is a habitable level within a Building with a maximum height of fourteen (14) feet from finished floor to finished floor. ARCs shall be permitted a Story height of a maximum of sixteen (16) feet from finished floor to finished floor.
2. Basements are not considered Stories for the purposes of determining Building Height.
3. For specific Transect Zones:
4. A ground-level Story may exceed this limit up to a total height of twenty-five (25) feet, and a top-level Story may exceed this limit up to a total height of twenty-eight (28) feet and count as one (1) Story, if the Building Height does not exceed the maximum Building Height including all applicable bonuses allowed by the transect at fourteen (14) feet per floor, or sixteen (16) feet per floor for ARCs, and twenty-five (25) feet at the ground level.
5. A ground-level Story may exceed fourteen (14) feet up to a total height of thirty (30) feet when located in the Special Flood Hazard Area, given that the finished floor of the ground level meets the Average Sidewalk Elevation.
6. A single floor level exceeding fourteen (14) feet, sixteen (16) feet for ARCs, or twenty-five (25) feet at ground level (or thirty (30) feet at ground level within the Special Flood Hazard Area), shall be counted as two (2) Stories; except for T6-36, where a single floor level exceeding fourteen (14) feet, sixteen (16) feet for ARCs, may count as one (1) Story if the Building Height does not exceed the maximum height, including all applicable bonuses, allowed by the transect at fourteen (14) feet, sixteen (16) feet for ARCs, per floor.
7. The first two Stories’ total combined Height shall not exceed thirty-nine (39) feet, forty-one (41) feet for ARCs, or forty-four (44) feet in the Special Flood Hazard Area, forty-six (46) feet for ARCs,.

9. Intermediate Levels may not exceed thirty-three percent (33%) of the Floor Area. Intermediate Levels extending beyond thirty-three percent (33%) of the Floor Area shall be counted as an additional floor.
10. The Height of a Parking Structure concealed by a Liner may be equal to the Height of the Liner; this may result in a Liner Story concealing more than one (1) level of Parking.

a. Off-street Parking requirements for the individual Transect Zones shall be as set forth in Table 4 of this Regulating Plan. Where required off-street parking is based on square footage of Use, the calculation shall only include Habitable Rooms and Habitable Space occupied by such Use.

g. Parking spaces located within an Automotive Service Bay shall count toward satisfying an ARC’s parking requirement.

e. Off-street Parking or loading area(s) shall not be used for the sale, repair, or dismantling of any vehicle or equipment, or for storage of materials or supplies. ARCs shall be permitted to use surplus off-street parking or loading area(s) for the sale, repair, or dismantling of any vehicle or equipment, or for storage of materials or supplies; these activities shall be concealed from public view.

j. Specific areas may be set aside for Tandem Parking. Tandem Parking shall be permitted throughout the SAP Area. For the avoidance of doubt, vehicle inventory and vehicle storage within ARCs may be parked in Tandem to the extent practical given the available space and provided that sufficient to allow safe ingress and egress by pedestrians and all applicable Life-Safety requirements. Tandem Parking shall be used only by a valet parking operator.

b. Within the SAP Area, Loading for ARC Uses may be provided on-site or off-site as further described in Article 4, Table 4 of this Regulating Plan after a covenant, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, running with the land is recorded upon both the property on which the Loading will occur and the property which requires the Loading.

All new Buildings of more than 50,000 square feet of Habitable Rooms or Habitable Space, other than those designed to accommodate ARC Uses, in the T5, T6, CI and CS zones shall be at a minimum certified as Silver by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards or equivalent standards adopted or approved by the City. ARC Buildings shall use best efforts to attain LEED Silver certifiable, or equivalent, status.

Notwithstanding any provision in Miami 21 to the contrary, where an Automated Parking System is proposed, dimension requirements for parking stalls and Parking Structures and lots (including, but not limited to, minimum drive-aisle width, minimum parking stall dimensions, and minimum spacing between stalls and walls or columns) shall be considered non-mandatory guidelines for Automated Parking Systems. Standard dimensional requirements shall be waived upon demonstration of the Automated Parking System manufacturer’s minimum requirements for the system’s safe operation. All proposed Automated Parking System shall strictly comply with said manufacturer requirements. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to reduce or modify minimum Life-Safety or other Florida Building Code requirements for Parking Structures or lots.

1. Lot Coverage by any ARC Building shall not exceed ninety percent (90%).

In the absence of a Building along the remaining Frontage Line, Frontages shall be treated with a Streetscreen, landscaping, or other design strategy which ensures adequate lighting and pedestrian safety, subject to review and approval by the Planning Director. In the case of two (2) or three (3) Principal Frontages meeting at Thoroughfare intersections, the Building’s corner may recede from the designated Setback up to twenty percent (20%) of the Lot length.
6. At the first Story, ARC Buildings along a Frontage Line shall permit pedestrian access at a maximum spacing of two hundred (200) feet unless approved by SAP Permit.
7. In the T6-8 and T6-12 transects, Setbacks for ARC Buildings above the eighth Story for Lots having a depth of one hundred forty (140) feet or less may be reduced to match the Pedestal Setback up to the as of right permissible height. Buildings with reduced Setbacks above the eighth Story shall incorporate façade articulations or changes in plane to reduce the perception of mass. Front Setbacks above the eighth floor for ARC Buildings shall not be required for a Frontage facing a Civic Space or a Right-of-Way seventy (70) feet or greater in width.
8. ARCs Buildings shall be exempt from the obligations to provide cross-block Pedestrian Passages. Nonetheless, one (1) pedestrian access through an ARC site of a minimum width of ten feet (10’), with a minimum of eight (8) feet unobstructed pathway shall be provided if the Frontage Line of a site is at any point four hundred feet (400’) or more from a Thoroughfare intersection.
