Sustainable Communities and Transportation Planning. Goal SP-4.

Develop criteria in collaboration with municipal and county planning authorities for the purpose of defining Adaptation Action Areas as well as other areas requiring adaptation improvements related to coastal flooding and sea level rise that may include, but not be limited to:

• Areas below, at, or near mean higher high water;

• Areas which have a hydrological connection to coastal waters;

• Areas designated as evacuation zones for storm surge; and/or

• Other areas impacted by climate related drainage/flood control issues.

- Regional Climate Action Plan

Adaptation Action Areas (AAA)

Sustainable Communities and Transportation Planning. Goal SP-3.

“Incorporate “Adaptation Action Area” definition (as provided for in Florida law) into municipal and/or county Comprehensive Plans, to

provide a means to identify those areas deemed most vulnerable to sea level rise and other climate change impacts including but not limited to extreme high tides, heavy local rain events, and storm surge for the purpose of prioritized funding and adaptation planning.”

Parking Structures +

Policy 10.4

The City shall facilitate the construction of at least one additional public parking facility to enhance beach and beach front uses thereby easing the pressure on residential on-street parking. However, no parking garage shall be constructed directly on either the east or west side of any public right-of-way that lies adjacent to public beachfront.

- Miami Beach 2025 Comprehensive Plan

Elevated Streets +

Jane Jacobs

“Nobody enjoys sitting on a stoop out looking out a window a window at an empty street. Almost nobody does such a thing. Large numbers of people entertain themselves, off and on, by watching street activity.”
