79th Street Corridor Zoning and Large Parcels Map
The
following report concludes the first phase of the 79th Street
Corridor master planning process. The
purpose of the survey and economic market analysis is to assess the
redevelopment capacity of the 79th Street Corridor and to help guide
the subsequent phases of the planning process.
The report is delivered to the 79th Street Corridor
Initiative led by the Urban League of Greater Miami, Miami-Dade Neighborhood
Housing Services and the Dade Employment and Economic Development Corporation
(DEEDCO) in partnership with the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT). The phase one survey and analysis was
conducted by Florida International University’s (FIU) Metropolitan Center and
GIS-Remote Sensing Laboratory.
According
to the 79th Street Corridor Initiative’s planning prospectus, the
goal of the redevelopment plan is “to transform the district from a fragmented
set of residential, commercial and industrial sites with a reputation as
dangerous and undesirable into a cohesive neighborhood conscious of its
tangible and intangible assets and directing its future.” The Initiative intends “to build on the
considerable assets of the community, including tangible assets such as the
skills of residents, public transportation, land available for assemble,
undervalued market potential, job access, rail freight and right-of-ways, and
intangible assets such as the sense of place, knowledge of the community, and
location efficiency.”
The
project area and initial focus of the 79th Street Corridor
redevelopment plan is the western end of 79th Street bounded by NW
22nd Avenue to the east; East 10th Avenue in the City of
Hialeah to the west; NW 87th Street to the north; and NW 71st Street
to the south. The project area has been
identified as a “special development district” that is envisioned to become a
model sustainable development project based on an integrated approach to
neighborhood development tying together economic opportunity, quality of life
and environmental improvement. The
project area has experienced decades of economic disinvestment and social
unrest but has enormous redevelopment potential given its highway access,
proximity to rail and mass transit hubs, commercial and industrial land, and
stable single-family neighborhoods.
Identifying and understanding these factor and neighborhood conditions
is an essential first step in the master planning process.
The 79th
Street Corridor Survey and Economic Market Analysis is divided into five
sections. The Section I-Economic
and Market Profile provides an overview of the Miami-Dade market including
an analysis of Miami-Dade’s most important
business sectors, real estate, and employment and labor markets. This is followed by analysis of the 79th
Street Corridor study area: its demographic trends, major industrial/employment
sectors, and real estate values. Section
II-Land Use begins with an overview of the existing zoning followed by
summaries of the transportation, streetscape and housing conditions
surveys. The Section III-Business
Survey analyzes data from face-to-face interviews with local business owners
and managers within the 79th Street Corridor study area. Field interviews provided a more
comprehensive and qualitative analysis of this relatively small but unique
business area. The concluding Section
IV-Neighborhood Revitalization Resources provides a summary of various
funding mechanisms for plan implementation followed by a discussion on the
importance of establishing institutional and collaborative support for
the 79th Street Corridor Initiative.
The
79th Street Corridor study area is part of a larger local and
regional economy. Market factors
including the supply or inventory of land and buildings, acquisition costs and
lease rates and overall economic conditions will strongly influence proposed
redevelopment within the study area.
The Greater Miami area is considered the major international trading hub
of the Americas. It s population,
business community, neighborhoods, schools and architecture all reflect a
Caribbean and Central and South American flavor.
The
recent downturn in the US economy combined with the negative impacts of the
September 11 terrorist attacks have exposed the relative weaknesses of the
Greater Miami economy. Miami and South
Florida’s faltering tourism has had a negative multiplier effect on the entire
service and retail sectors. However,
according to a 2001 Second Quarter survey Miami-Dade’s industrial market
remains healthy. This is due to a
substantial increase of South American investments in South Florida, especially
from Columbia and Venezuela. Freight
forwarding and logistics companies continue to be a strength in the industrial
market particularly in the Airport West area. Demand for warehouse/distribution
space remains strong in all Greater Miami locations, while demand for telecom
space has been drastically reduced. The
Second Quarter report notes that many high-tech companies have pulled out of
deals in Airport West resulting in an increase in sublease space and a reversion
of buildings back to warehouse use (Source: CB Richard Ellis).
The
following is a brief profile of Greater Miami’s commercial and retail
markets:
Absorption
in the commercial real estate market was expected to be maintained near one
million square feet during 2000 and development is expected to increase during
the current decade. A careful eye will
be kept on the international financial markets and the economic conditions of
Latin American countries. Increases in
international trade will encourage international businesses to locate offices
in Miami. The regional economy is
expected to grow at a rate of two percent annually or greater over the next few
years.
Many
of the sub-markets will experience growth greater than that of Miami’s Central
Business District (CBD), as Dade County’s growth trend continues toward west
and north of the city. The figures
presented in Table 1 show the office market inside and outside of the Miami’s
CBD in 1999.

New
construction for industrial space was expected to decrease in 1999 by one to
five percent, which was considered timely because of the nearly two million
square feet of additions during 1998.
However, the shortage of buildings sized at 100,000 square feet and
larger encouraged new construction in that market segment. Many organizations unable to locate these
larger spaces in 1998 were still shopping in 1999-2001. Recent increases in site prices will make it
more difficult to locate ‘ready to go’ land.
Residential development in the Airport West area is expected to blur
district boundaries of office and industrial space. Furthermore, warehouse/distribution prices are anticipated to
increase up to five percent. Lease
prices for this space was also expected to increase by up to five percent,
while absorption levels are expected to remain constant.

Retail
trade and tourism are Miami’s most important sectors. Retail accounts for 27% of the area’s jobs and the economic
impact of tourism is estimated to be $13.5 billion. Both of these industries have changed over the past 15
years. The demographics of Miami’s
millions of tourists have gone from 61 percent American in 1989 to an estimated
61 percent foreign visitors in 1996. At
the same time, Miami’s retail vacancy rate has stabilized, while the rent index
rose 4 percent. Shopping center
completions remained robust at 850,000 square feet with that rate expected to
continue through 2000 (Source: National
Association of Realtors, 1997-1998 Market Conditions Report).

This
section looks at Miami-Dade Counties labor and employment market. The
preliminary unemployment labor total for May 2001 is 5.8 percent in Miami-Dade
County. There are currently 1,082,288 employees in Miami-Dade’s labor force (source:
Miami Market Index Brief, 2001).
The fastest growing occupations projected from 1997 to 2007 in
Miami-Dade and Monroe counties are those in the television and movie industry
and computer engineers and specialists.
The fastest declining occupations are in food servers, bellhops in
hotels, and airline occupations (mechanics, flight attendants pilots) (source:
Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security, Office of Labor market
Statistics, 2001). The September 11th
terrorist attacks have added to the decline of the tourist related occupations
in Florida. Occupations losing the most
jobs after this event include those in the food and hospitality industries
(waiters/waitresses, cooks, bartenders, hotel receptionists).
Miami-Dade
is part of a larger regional economy and labor market that includes Broward and
Palm Beach Counties. The regional
economy should include all economic activity that provides income and
employment for the residents of the community for which the study is
undertaken. The regional labor market
is important from a competitive advantage standpoint. The availability of a skilled workforce has become an important
location factor for many businesses.

The
Census of Manufactures published by the U.S. Department of Commerce serves as
the primary data source for the following analysis. The U.S. Census of Manufactures State Report
(conducted at five year intervals on years ending in 7 and 2) contains
pertinent industry statistics such as: number of firms/establishments,
employment, payroll, value-added by manufacture, cost of materials consumed,
and capital expenditures. Census data
is compiled at the state, metropolitan statistical area (MSA), county and city
levels. The Census of Manufactures
covers all establishments with one paid employee or more primarily engaged in
manufacturing as defined in the Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual (since 1997, SIC codes were changed
to the North American Industrial Classification System - NAICS).
A
detailed analysis of manufacturing trends in the region and the State of
Florida revealed several significant findings.
The electric and electronic equipment sector has made a substantial contribution
to both the regional and state economy in terms of new firm formation and
employment growth. However, in
assessing the full economic impact of a particular manufacturing sector it is
also necessary to weigh such factors as: 1) payroll for production workers, 2)
value-added by manufacturing, and 3) new capital expenditures. Value-added is considered to be the best
value measure available for comparing the relative economic importance of
manufacturing among specific industrial sectors and defined geographic
areas.

According
to the U.S. Census, the Miami Primary Statistical Metropolitan Area (PMSA) has
experienced a steady decline in its overall manufacturing base. Miami-Dade shed nearly 19,000 manufacturing
jobs between 1977-1997. New growth
(1992-1997) in manufacturing establishments occurred in Fabricated Metals, Food
Products, Furniture and Medical Instruments.
Significant job growth occurred only in Fabricated Metals and Furniture
Production.

Another manufacturing growth sector that has emerged
at both the state and regional levels is medical instruments and products. Enterprise Florida reports that the medical
instruments and supplies sector is one of the fastest growing industries in
Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
Improving wages, high value-added, and increased capital expenditures
have made the medical instruments manufacturing sector a prime target for
industry attraction marketing strategies.
Based on a 1997 study by SRI International, the Business Development
Board of Palm Beach County has identified the Medical/Pharmaceutical/Health
Care industry as one of their top four target clusters. Industrial cluster strategies consider
recent growth trends and the projection or outlook for specific industrial
sectors.
An
important economic growth indicator is employment projections within an
industry. The Florida Department of
Labor and Employment Security’s Bureau of Labor Market Information published
countywide industry and occupational projections for the period 1995-2005. The following is a summary and comparison of
industry and occupational projections for Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Monroe
Counties:

The
79th Street Corridor study area is bounded by Northwest 22nd
Avenue to the east; East 10th Avenue to the west (City of Hialeah);
Northwest 82nd Street to the north; and Northwest 79th
Street to south. The study area is
comprised of nearly all or a portion of four census tracts (see Figure 1). Data has been aggregated to include census
tracts 6.05, 9.02, 9.03, and 10.03.
Although each census tract boundary extends slightly outside of the 79th
Street Corridor study area, they are generally representative of the more
defined area. All data presented in
this section was obtained from the US Census of Population and Housing
1990-2000. Comparative analysis of such
variables as population, housing tenure, and race/ethnicity was performed for
each census tract and Miami-Dade as a whole.
The final section analyzes longitudinal change by comparing 1990 to 2000
US Census data. Demographic and housing
change over the past 10 years was calculated for two diverse areas of the 79th
Street Corridor and for Miami-Dade County.
