Please find enclosed the amended Comprehensive Plan which reflects those changes which have been identified/suggested by the Department of Economic Opportunity. To correct the objection, the Village has added new policies (Policy 11.7) in the Coastal Management Element to address the requirements of section 163.3178(2), of the Florida Statutes. The updated policies are identified in Objective 11 Post —Disaster Redevelopment Plan, Policy 11.2, Policy 11.3, and Policy 11.7 (which includes eliminating inappropriate and unsafe development in coastal areas when the opportunity arises). Objective 12, Flood Risk Reduction Policy 12.2 and 12.5 have been updated to include meaningful and predictable standards for principles and strategies to correct the concerns from flooding as identified by the community. Comment 1: Coastal Management Element — Peril of Flood Redevelopment Component. The Village has updated Objective 11, Policy 11.6 to reflect potential uncertainty. Comment 2: Coastal management Element. The Village has added the wording to be, "Consistent with, or more stringent than, the flood -resistant construction requirements of the Florida Building Code and applicable flood plain management regulations set forth in 44 C.F.R. part 60" this wording was added to Objective 11, Policy 11.2, and 11.3. Additionally, Objective 12, Policy 12.2 and 12.5 were also updated to reflect the change in wording. In response to the two recommendations proposed by the South Florida Water Management District the Village has made the following changes. VISIT US I www.miamishoresvillage.com Comment 1: Revised the proposed amendment to include in Infrastructure Policy 9.2 and Capital Improvements Element Policy 2.1 a Level of Service (LOS) Standard consistent with the Village's two water providers, Miami -Dade County and North Miami. The LOS Standard shall be consistent with their data and analysis of existing and projected water usage and demands as found in their Work Plans. Miami -Dade County has determined a LOS Standard of 2,768.97 gallons per day (gpd) would be consistent with their Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (adopted on Feb 14, 2015) for the area of the Village served by the County. North Miami has determined a LOS Standard based on land uses as found in Policy 4D.2.6 of the North Miami Comprehensive Plan would be consistent with their Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (adopted on April 26, 2016) for the area served by the Village. Comment 2: The Village is no longer proposing to delete the currently adopted Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) Sub -Element in the Infrastructure Element of the Village's Comprehensive Plan (see Objective 10, Policy 10.4).

Stansbury, Chief Bureau of Community Planning and Growth J DS/dp Enclosures: Objections, Recommendations, and Comments Report Procedures for Adoption Reviewing Agency Comments cc: Travis Kendall, Planning and Zoning Director, Village of Miami Shores Isabel Cosio Carballo, Executive Director, South Florida Regional Planning Council OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE (18-01ER) The Department of Economic Opportunity has identified one objection and two comments regarding the Miami Shores Village proposed comprehensive plan amendments. The objection and comments are provided below, along with recommended actions the Village could take to resolve issues of concern. If the Village adopts the plan amendment without adequately addressing the objection, the Department may find the amendment not in compliance with Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes (F.S.), pursuant to section 163.3184(4)(e)4., F.S. Comments are offered to assist the local government and will not form the basis for a compliance determination. Department staff has discussed the basis of the report with local government staff and is available to assist the Village to address the objection and comments. Objection: 1. Objection: Coastal Management Element — Peril of Flood Redevelopment Component The proposed amendment included new policies in the Coastal Management Element to address the requirements of Section 163.3178(2)(f), Florida Statutes. Policies were proposed under Objective 11 Post -Disaster Redevelopment Plan, and Objective 12: Flood Risk Reduction. The policies are the Village's effort to reduce the overall flood risk resulting from or associated with high -tide events, storm surge, flash floods, storm water runoff and the impacts related to sea level rise. However, the proposed amendment does not adequately address the requirements of Section 163.3178(2)(f),1-3 F.S., as they would apply to the identified areas and facilities in the Village's vulnerability assessment. The Village has identified in their data and analysis vulnerable areas in the community. The proposed policies do not outline the principles to be used to eliminate inappropriate and unsafe development in the coastal areas when opportunities arise with meaningful and predictable standards and guidelines. The proposed policies do not address the identified vulnerable areas. For example, proposed policies Policy 11.3 and 12.2 note the Village's general adherence to the Florida Building Code and encourage the use of best practices development and redevelopment principles, strategies, and engineering solutions but do not direct action to reduce the overall flood risk resulting from or associated with high -tide events, storm surge, flash floods, storm water runoff and the impacts related to sea level rise. Recommendation: The amendment should be revised to include meaningful and predictable standards for principles and strategies to be used by the Village to address the concerns from flooding as identified by the community. This includes eliminating inappropriate and unsafe development in the coastal area when the opportunity arises. Prior to adoption the amendment should be revised to include specific development and redevelopment practices, strategies, engineering solutions and best practices and development techniques the City will use to reduce the flood risk for identified vulnerable areas from the effects of projected high tide events, storm surge, flash floods, storm water runoff and the related impacts of sea level rise. The policies should be supported with data and analysis demonstrating that the flood risk areas in the Village, including those identified in the Villages "Miami Shores Village Phase 1 Flood Vulnerability Assessment" will overtime be addressed. The Department is prepared to provide examples of policies from other communities with similar risks that can be changed, as necessary, to meet the risks and assets of the Village. Authority: Section 163.3178(2)(f)1-3., F.S. and Section 163.3177(1), F.S. II. Comments Comment 1: Coastal Management Element — Peril of Flood Redevelopment Component The proposed Policy 11.6 of the Coastal Management Element's Post Disaster Redevelopment Plan states that single family residential structures may be built on lots planned and zoned for single family use even if currently or previously existing structures on said lots have suffered "repeated damaged" by hurricanes or other natural actions. The policy notes also that this determination shall apply to all single family lots including lots which may lie in the VE Zone and makes the legislative judgment of the Village that such development must be permitted to allow reasonable property rights. The proposed policy also states that, "the Village is aware that the issue of "repeated damage" will remain a non -issue in Miami Shores Village since the past 100 years has not produced a sufficient number of severe hurricanes to establish Miami Shores Village as a locale for "repeated damage." As recent storms in Mexico Beach have demonstrated, past storm history is a poor predictor of future storm events. Even areas that have longstanding history of relative safety from storms may be unexpectedly and severely devastated. The Village may want to acknowledge this potential by revising the policy to reflect the uncertainty. Comment 2: In multiple policies of the Coastal Management Element, the Village notes conformance with the Florida Building Code (e.g., Policy 11.2, 11.3 and Policy 12.5). The Village should consider wording the policy to be, "consistent with, or more stringent than, the flood - resistant construction requirements in the Florida Building Code and applicable flood plain management regulations set forth in 44 C.F.R. part 60," reflecting the legislative language.

The Document includes an extensive data, inventory, and analysis of the Village's facilities (Roads, parks, drainage, etc.) together with goals, objectives, and policies to provide or improve upon such facilities to reach, maintain, and/or exceed LOS standards through 2025. CHAPTER 1. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT GOAL Ensure that the character and location of future land uses provides high economic and quality of life benefits while preserving natural resources, residential character and appropriate levels of public services. Objective 1: Coordination of land uses with topography and soils. Maintain existing development and achieve new development and redevelopment which is consistent with the goal above and which otherwise coordinates future land uses with topography and soil conditions and the availability of facilities and services. Monitoring and Evaluation: The Village shall monitor the following policies: Policy 1.1: The Village shall maintain, improve and enforce land development code provisions which are consistent with the Future Land Use Map, including the land uses and the densities and intensities specified thereon and described below: Single Family Residential: The residential densities allowed in this category shall not exceed 2.5 dwelling units per gross acre. This density category is characterized solely by detached single family homes on relatively large lots. Multi -family Residential: Multi -family units or single family detached and attached units at a density up to 6.0 units per acre except where Department of Environmental Resources regulations including septic tank standards require a lower density. Floor area ratios may be incorporated in development code regulations. Future Land Use Element Restricted Commercial: Office, food including restaurants, wine and craft beer bars and light retail uses that are compatible with nearby housing; residential uses that are compatible with nearby commercial. The floor area ratio shall not exceed 1.0. Residential uses are permitted on the second floor and above in conjunction with a mixed use buildings provided that the scale and intensity is not out of character with adjacent nearby development, and the project does not negatively affect any area neighborhoods. The maximum floor to area ratio for mixed use projects with deed restrictions is 3.0 General Commercial: A broader range of office, food, studio arts, personal care and retail uses than the Restricted Commercial category but no heavy highway or distribution kinds of uses. The maximum floor to area ratio is 1.0. Institutional: Schools, universities, churches, administrative facilities for school boards, churches and similar institutions; municipal buildings and public utility installations. The floor area ratio shall not exceed 2.0. Recreation: Village parks and recreational facilities, the Miami Shores Golf Course and similar and complimentary uses including food service establishments in conjunction with the previously listed uses. The floor area ratio shall not exceed 1.0. Incidental uses shall not exceed 50%. Future Designation of Areas Annexed from Unincorporated Miami -Dade: Land that is annexed from Miami -Dade County enters the village with its current Miami -Dade County future land use and zoning designation. The Miami -Dade County development regulations apply until such time as Miami Shores Village adopts an amendment to its comprehensive plan to include the annexed area and adopts a new Miami Shores Village zoning designation for the annexed area. • Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use designation and Zoning District Designation a. The future land use and zoning designation for areas annexed from Miami - Dade County will be amended to an appropriate Miami Shores Village future land use and zoning designation. b. Miami Shores Village may create new future land use or zoning designations for annexed areas where the existing development or potential future development would not be consistent with any existing Miami Shores Village future land use or zoning designation. Future Land Use Element 3 c. Miami Shores Village will consider the existing Miami -Dade County comprehensive plan and zoning regulations in when developing new designations for annexed areas. Policy 1.2: The Village shall regulate all development in accordance with the Future Land Use Map (Map 1.4), including the land uses and the densities and intensities specified thereon and in Policy 1.1, all of which are incorporated by reference into this Policy 1.2. Policy 1.3: The Village shall maintain and/or improve land development code provisions governing subdivisions, signs and floodplain protection. Such provisions shall be consistent with this plan and with the applicable Florida statutory and administrative code guidelines. Policy 1.4: The Village shall maintain and improve as part of the Land Development Code a concurrency management system. The Village shall ensure that the public facilities necessitated by a development (in order to meet level of service standards specified in the Infrastructure Element) will be in place no later than the anticipated date of issuance by Miami Shores of a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy Policy 1.5: The Village shall maintain and/or improve land development code standards and incentives to achieve new development, renovated development and/or redevelopment that meet high standards for drainage and storm -water management, open space and landscaping, and on -site circulation and parking and other development standards in keeping with the goals, objectives and policies of this plan. Policy 1.6: The Village shall maintain and/or improve land development code standards to maintain current densities in single family residential districts. Policy 1.7: In its discretion, the Village may enact zoning regulations which allow the appropriate mixing of residential and non-residential uses in commercial and institutional land use categories. Policy 1.8: As a matter of policy, the Village will compare the Future Land Use Map referred to in Policy 1.1 and the land use densities and intensities set forth in Policy 1.1 with the land uses and intensities found in the report entitled Transit/Land Use Relationship Report as interpreted in part by the state land planning agency. Future Land Use Element 4 Policy 1.9: The Village will continue to work with transit agencies and coordinate the park system and pedestrian connections with opportunities to improve and expand new walkways. The Village will continue to work with transportation agencies to implement the FEC Greenway or FEC corridor greenway improvements. The Village will work with Miami -Dade County and other groups to ensure that the greenway and parks and systems within the Village effectively linked to proposed regional trails. The Village will continue to advocate for funding for these trails identified in the Miami -Dade Planning Organization 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan. Objective 2: Protection of single family residential areas. Direct future growth and development and redevelopment so as to minimize the intrusion of incompatible land uses into single family residential areas. Monitoring and Evaluation: The existing Future Land Use Map (FLUM) is consistent with this objective. Upon an application request to amend the FLUM, the Village shall evaluate application for consistency with the FLUM. Achievement of this objective shall also be quantified by the implementation of the following policies: Policy 2.1: Maintain a future land use map pattern and zoning pattern which keeps multi -family, office, commercial and other incompatible uses out of single family residential areas. Policy 2.2: Maintain a future land use map pattern and a traffic circulation pattern which direct through traffic to Biscayne Boulevard and other arterials and collectors and away from local residential streets. Policy 2.3: Utilize vehicular barricades to block traffic on Biscayne Boulevard and other arterials and collectors from entering local streets except for local access. Consider other traffic control strategies which will contribute to the safety and character of residential streets. Objective 3: Redevelopment and renewal.

Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Sub -Element Miami Shores Village does not provide potable water to the residents of Miami Shores Village. Potable water is supplied to the residents of Miami Shores Village by the Miami - Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) and the City of North Miami from the Hialeah -Preston Water Treatment Plant located in Hialeah, through service agreements entered into directly with the residents of Miami Shores Village. WASD and the City of North Miami own the water lines within the Miami Shores Village rights -of -way that deliver potable water to the residents. WASD and the City of North Miami will continue to provide potable water to the residents of Miami Shores Village during the period of this plan and beyond. As water suppliers to the residents of Miami Shores Village, the Miami Dade and Sewer Department, 20-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (2014-2033), dated November 2014, and the City of North Miami Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and as amended are recognized as the effective plans for potable water supply to Miami Shores Village. Provision of Potable Water Supplies and Facilities: Potable Water Supply The Miami -Dade County "Water Supply Facilities Work Plan," dated March 2008, Support Data, CDM Project NO. 6430-57901-061, Kenneth L. Caban P.E., BCEE, for Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. is herby incorporated by reference. All potable water for Miami Shores is supplied by the Hialeah -Preston Water Treatment Plant located in Hialeah. The plant has a design capacity of 235 million gallons per day (MGD) with an average daily demand of 166.1 MGD and utilizes a lime softening treatment process. The plants average daily water demand for 2005 was approximately 166 MGD and served about 993,872 persons. Demand attributable to Miami Shores is Infrastructure Element 32 estimated at 1.88 million gallons per day, based on the 2007 population estimate of 12,159 and per capita water use of 200 gallons per capita per day or equal the Miami - Dade County standard, whichever is less. There is no way to measure the amount of potable water consumed by Miami Shores since Village properties receive water directly from the Miami -Dade County water system. According to WASD, the water purchased does not run through a central location that can be monitored. There are no industrial uses in the Village; therefore, it is not necessary to increase the gallons per capita figure to account for industrial water demand. Water Distribution System The City of North Miami and WASD operate water distribution systems in the Village. North Miami serves the predominantly residential land uses along N.E. 105th Street and north of the Biscayne Canal from a six-inch water main located along Biscayne Boulevard. North Miami serves 153 single family homes and 380 multi -family residences for a total of 537 units served. The Miami -Dade WASD system serves the remainder of Miami Shores with a series of 12-inch water mains along N.E. 2"d 6t" and 10th avenues, N.E. 95th Street, and N.W. 5th Avenue. These mains supply the water distribution lines that range in size from ten inches down to two inches. Needs Assessment Miami Shores Village does not intend to provide potable water treatment or distribution facilities. New development or redevelopment will be served by the existing City of North Miami and Miami -Dade water distribution systems. These systems supply potable water meeting all health and safety requirements and provide a satisfactory level of service for Miami Shores. The identification of existing and projected facilities needs will remain the responsibility of the City of North Miami and the County. These facilities are expected to adequately accommodate the 2025 projected Village demand of 1.91 mgpd since the County treatment plant capacity is currently 501 MGD, with a system peak demand of only 380.31 MGD in the year 2005. As well, the County plans to bring the system capacity to over 600 MGD by 2025 with the addition of approximately 111 MGD to its current treatment capacity. Miami Shores Village will work closely with theses service providers to assure that potable water needs continue to be met satisfactorily. Miami Dade County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Support Data Revised March 2008 CDM Project NO. 6430-57901-061 March 2008 Infrastructure Element 33 Kenneth L. Caban P.E., BCEE For Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. Appendix C Water Supply for Municipalities Service Area: Miami -Dade County's 20-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) identifies traditional alternative water supply projects, conservation and reuse programs, and capital improvement projects necessary to meet the projected water demands within the Department's service area. The MDWASD's service area covers the entire Miami -Dade County within the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), excluding portions of North Miami and North Miami Beach, Homestead and Florida City. In 2008, North Miami Beach's new WTP will be in operation and the City will no longer be supplied by MDWASD. The areas within the Urban Expansion are included in the planning horizon after 2015. Future water supplies provided by MDWASD or other city utilities within the County's jurisdiction, including unincorporated areas are included in the County's 20-year Work Plan. Population and Water Demand: Exhibits C-1 through C-3 include municipal and service area population projections for all municipalities within Miami -Dade County through 2030. Population data was obtained from the Miami -Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning (P&Z) and was derived from Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) data. Exhibit C-4 contains the population projections for other utilities supplying water to areas within unincorporated Miami -Dade County. Also included in Exhibits C-1 through C-3 are the water demand projections using a system wide per capita of 155 as included in the Department's 20-year water use permit. Water Conservation: Currently, MDWASD is implementing all Best Management Practices (BMPs) included in the 20-year Water Use Efficiency Plan, which was approved by the South Florida Water Management District in May 2007. The Plan identifies a total of approximately 20 mgd of water saved through the year 2030. In addition, all of MDWASD's wholesale customers are required to submit a Water Conservation Plan to the Department's Water Use Efficiency Section as mandated by County Ordinance 06-177, Section 32-83.1 of the Miami -Dade County Code. The Plan will identify BMPs based on population characteristics and type of service for each municipal service area. The implementation of all BMPs in MDWASD's service area will result in a reduction in per capita usage as identified in Section 4, Table 4-4 of the County's Work Plan. Furthermore, Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department will establish per capita consumption for all municipalities including those in MDWASD's retail customer service area. Based on this data, the Department will work with the municipalities to address those with higher than average per capitas and will target programs for those areas. In addition, Miami -Dade County has developed recommendations for new development that would achieve higher water use Infrastructure Element 34 savings than currently required by code. The recommendations were developed by an Advisory Committee and were presented to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on June 5, 2007. These Water Conservation recommendations were adopted by Ordinance on February 5, 2008. The Ordinance requires that a manual for implementation of the recommendations be developed by July 2008. These Water efficiency recommendations represent an additional 30% to the water savings identified in the 20- year Water Use Efficiency Plan. All applicants will be required to comply with these future code requirements. The list of recommendations submitted to the BCC and the Ordinance relating to water use efficiency standard are presented in Appendix D and are also posted in the Miami -Dade Water Conservation Portal. The implementation of all BMPs identified in the 20-year Water Use Efficiency Plan will result in an adjusted system wide per capita of 147.82 by year 2027. Reuse: MDWASD has committed to implement a total of 170 mgd of reuse as noted in the County's 20-year water use permit. A list of the reuse projects and deadlines as presented in Exhibit 30 of the County's 20-year water use permit and are included in Appendix F. Reuse projects to recharge the aquifer with highly treated reclaimed water will be in place before additional withdrawals over the base condition water use are made from the Alexander Orr and South Dade subarea wellfields. These wellfields supply water to several municipalities included in MDWASD's retail and wholesale customer service area. In addition, reuse irrigation projects are anticipated for the North and Central District Wastewater Treatment Plants. These projects will be implemented in the City of North Miami and North Miami Beach, and are currently under construction for Key Biscayne. Objective 11: Water Planning Policy 1: The Future Land Use Element discourages urban sprawl limiting and restricting future development to infill development and redevelopment all within the Miami - Dade County Urban Infill Boundary, and further limits development based on the availability of potable water. Policy 2: The Housing Element recognizes Miami Shores Village as a built out community with little potential for population increase. Notwithstanding state population projections, the Housing Element recognizes the limitations to future development based on the built out community, the lack of vacant land for development and the limitations to redevelopment based on the zoning code and service limitations. Policy 3: Infrastructure Element 35 The Infrastructure Element addresses water planning and contains water saving measures including: 40 The Village shall maintain and improve the land development code and other regulations that include the following: o water conservation -based irrigation requirements o water conservation -based plant species requirements derived from the South Florida Water Management District's list of native species and other appropriate sources o lawn watering restrictions o use of ultra -low volume water saving devices for new construction as required by the Florida Building code o other water conservation measures, as feasible. Policy 4: The Conservation Element addresses water conservation issues including a requirement that: • Emergency water conservation regulations shall be consistent with applicable standards promulgated by the South Florida Water Management District model ordinance and any specific South Florida Water Management District requirements of the specific emergency. Policy 5: The Intergovernmental Coordination Element provides for cooperation and coordination amongst Miami -Dade County, the City of North Miami and Miami Shores Village in the provision of potable water. Policy 6: The Capital Improvements Element emphasizes the coordinated Village use of existing and already approved development, the Future Land Use plan, the financial analyses in the Data and Analysis portions of the Capital Improvements Element and the established Level of Service standards in both reviewing development applications and in preparing the annual schedule of capital improvements.

Policy 11. 1: Seawalls shall be rebuilt as necessary. Policy 11.2: The repair or replacement of hurricane damaged buildings -in the FEMA VE Velocity Zone shall be subject to the Florida Building Code and all requirements of the Miami Shores Village Code of Ordinances and provided further that repair or replacement of a building may require that the building be elevated to be consistent with, or more stringent than, the flood -resistant construction requirements in the Florida Building Code and applicable flood plain management regulations set forth in 44 C.F.R part 60, and the Miami Shores Village Code of Ordinances. Policy 11.3: The repair or replacement of hurricane damaged buildings in the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone (east of NE 2"d Avenue) shall be subject to the Florida Building Code and all requirements of the Miami Shores Village Code of Ordinances and provided further that repair or replacement of a building may require that the building be elevated to be consistent with, or more stringent than, the flood -resistant construction requirements in the Florida Building Code and applicable flood plain management regulations set forth in 44 C.F.R part 60, and the Miami Shores Village Code of Ordinances. Policy 11.4: For the purpose of this Comprehensive Plan, the "Hurricane Vulnerability Zone" shall be defined as the area within Storm Surge Planning Zone C between Biscayne Bay and NE 2"d Avenue which is not in the "Coastal High Hazard Area" as Coastal Management Element 43 established in the regional hurricane evacuation study applicable to the Miami Shores Village. Policy 11.5: It is the intent of the Village to rebuild infrastructure in its present location unless it is physically or financially impossible to do so, or unless some other superior opportunity presents itself. Policy 11.6: The Village hereby makes a policy determination that single family residential structures may be built on lots planned and zoned for single family use even if currently or previously existing structures on said lots have suffered "repeated damage" by hurricanes or other natural actions. This determination shall apply to all single family lots including lots which may lie in the VE Zone. It is the legislative judgment of the Village that such development must be permitted in order to allow reasonable property rights. Furthermore, the Village is aware that the issue of "repeated damage" will remain a non -issue in Miami Shores Village since the past 100 years has not produced a sufficient number of severe hurricanes to establish Miami Shores Village as a locale for "repeated damage". However, as recent storms in Mexico Beach have demonstrated, past storm history is a poor predictor of future storm events. Even areas which have longstanding history of relative safety from storms may be unexpectedly and severely devastated. Policy 11.7: The Village shall when feasible seek to eliminate inappropriate and unsafe development in the coastal areas. The Village shall employ redevelopment practices, strategies, engineering solutions and best practices to reduce the flood risk for the areas identified in the Vulnerability Assessment. These strategies shall help mitigate the effects of high tide events, storm surge, flash flood, storm water runoff and the related impact of sea level rise. In addition to the new recently adopted Free Board regulations requiring all new construction to be a minimum of two feet above the established FEMA floodplain elevation, and the adopted higher seawall regulations the Village shall consider any fiscally responsible mitigations techniques. Objective 12: Flood risk reduction. Miami Shores Village is not located within a coastal high hazard area or affected by a category 1 storm surge line as established by the Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model . Coastal Management Element 44 The village recognizes the need to reduce the risk and severity of flooding from all sources including but not limited to storm surge, high tide events, sea level rise, and flash flood and storm water runoff. Policy 12.1: Miami Shores Village will comply with the requirements of Section 163.3178, F.S. in pre -disaster planning and post -disaster redevelopment activities. Policy 12.2: Miami Shores Village will encourage the use of best practices development and redevelopment principles, strategies, and engineering solutions that will result in the removal of coastal and non -coastal real property from flood zone designations established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and be consistent with, or more stringent than, the flood -resistant construction requirements in the Florida Building Code and applicable flood plain management regulations set forth in 44 C.F.R part 60. Policy 12.3: Miami Shores Village has adopted the Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) flood maps for the village. The village will provide flood zone and flood insurance information. Policy 12.4: Miami Shores Village participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Community Rating System (CRS) The village will investigate ways to improve its CRS rating that are reasonable and fiscally responsible to reduce flood risk and in order to achieve premium discounts for Village residents. Policy 12.5: Miami Shores Village has adopted the Florida Building Code standards for FEMA flood zones. The Village will continue to use the flood plain provisions of the Florida Building Code to assure new development at topographic elevations sufficient to minimize flood effects and be consistent with, or more stringent than, the flood -resistant construction requirements in the Florida Building Code and applicable flood plain management regulations set forth in 44 C.F.R part 60. The Village will enforce the FBC requirement as amended that requires a higher minimum structural elevation for properties located within a Velocity Zone. The Village has added more restrictive language by requiring that new construction and changes of use be elevated above the crown of the road or street abutting the building side to reduce the risk and severity of flooding in areas included in flood zones and also in all areas outside flood zones that are not covered by FEMA requirements and Florida Building Code regulations. Coastal Management Element 45 Policy 12.6: Nonstructural flood mitigation measures will be employed to reduce or eliminate flood risk and flood damages. Miami Shores Village will apply the FEMA requirements and Florida Building Code regulations to construction in FEMA flood zones. The village will continue to use the flood plain provisions of the Florida Building Code to assure new development at topographic elevations sufficient to minimize flood impact. The village encourages individuals and businesses located in flood zones to purchase flood insurance to mitigate the after effects of flooding by helping to recover from and replace items damaged by a flood. The Village will investigate inserting a provision in the .Flood Damage Prevention ordinance requiring a higher minimum floor elevation for properties located outside velocity zones that are still located within a flood zone. The village has added requirements that are more restrictive than the FBC by requiring that new construction and changes of use be elevated above the crown of the road or street abutting the building site to reduce the risk and severity of flooding in areas included in flood zones and also in all areas outside flood zones that are not covered by FEMA requirements and Florida Building Code regulations. Policy 12.7: Miami Shores Village will require any construction activities seaward of the coastal construction control lines established pursuant to s. 161.053, F.S., be consistent with chapter 161 if a coastal construction control line is established for Miami Shores Village. The village will continue to expand its storm water system infrastructure and to upgrade its storm water system infrastructure by implementing water quality and flood control improvements as required.

Public Schools Facilities Level of Service (LOS): Coordinate new residential development with the future availability of public school facilities consistent with the adopted level of service (LOS) standards for public schools and as required by the interlocal agreement to ensure the inclusion of those projects necessary to address existing deficiencies in the 5- year schedule of capital improvements, and meet future needs based upon achieving and maintaining the adopted level of service standards throughout the planning period. The adopted LOS standard for all Miami -Dade County Public Schools facilities is 100% utilization of Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) Capacity (with relocatable classrooms). This LOS standard, except for magnet schools, shall be applicable in each public school concurrency service area (CSA), defined as the public school attendance boundary established by Miami - Dade County Public Schools. Capital Improvements Element 61 The adopted LOS standard for Magnet Schools is 100% of FISH (With Relocatable Classrooms), which shall be calculated on a district wide basis. • LOS standards for public school facilities apply to those traditional educational facilities, owned and operated by Miami -Dade County Public Schools, that are required to serve the residential development within their established Concurrency Service Area. LOS standards do not apply to charter schools; however, the capacity of both charter and magnet schools is credited against the impact of development. No credit against the impact of development shall be given for either magnet or charter schools if their enrollment is at, or above, 100% FISH capacity. ■ Certification of the availability and commitment of capacity by Miami -Dade County Public Schools shall be sufficient to demonstrate that such facilities are available to meet the impacts of a residential development, and shall be consistent with the availability standard in Section 163.3180(h)1.a, b and c, Florida Statutes. • Public school facility capacity improvements programmed in the first three years of the Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program shall be counted as available capacity for purposes of concurrency. The necessary public school facilities must be in place or under actual construction within three years after issuance of final site plan approval. • The Village in coordination with Miami -Dade County Public Schools shall include proportionate share mitigation methodologies and options for public school facilities in its concurrency management program and the Updated and Restated Miami Shores Village and Miami -Dade County School Board Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning, consistent with the requirements of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The intent of these options is to provide for the mitigation of residential development impacts on public school facilities through Public School Mitigation Agreements that provide for one or more of the following.. (1) contribution of land; (2) the construction, expansion, or payment for land acquisition or construction of a permanent public school facility; or (3) the creation of a mitigation bank for the right to sell capacity credits. • Pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, the Miami -Dade County Public Schools 5-Year District Facilities Work Program, developed by Miami - Dade Public Schools and annually updated, is incorporated by reference into the Village's Capital Improvement Plan, as applicable. • The Miami Shores Village shall coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools to annually update its Facilities Work Program to include existing and anticipated facilities for both the 5-year and long-term planning periods, and to ensure that the adopted level of service standard will continue to be achieved and maintained. Miami Shores Village, through its updates of the Capital Improvements Element and Program, will incorporate by reference the latest adopted Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program for educational facilities. Miami Shores Capital Improvements Element 62 Village and Miami -Dade County Public Schools will coordinate their planning efforts prior to and during the Village's Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment process, and during updates to the Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program. The Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program will be evaluated on an annual basis to ensure that the level of service standards will continue to be achieved and maintained throughout the planning period. Policy 2.2: Public facilities shall be provided as necessary to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards. Objective 3: Direct population concentrations away from coastal high -hazard areas and limit coastal high -hazard area infrastructure expenditures: There are no coastal high hazard areas within the Village. If a coastal high hazard area is designated, the Village will direct population concentrations away from coastal high hazard areas and limit the expenditure of Village funds on infrastructure within the Coastal High Hazard Area if such expenditure would have the effect of directly subsidizing development which is significantly more intensive than authorized by this Plan. Monitoring and Evaluation: Achievement of this objective shall be measured by its implementing policies: Policy 3.1: The Village will restrict development in accordance with the Future Land Use Map of this plan. It is the legislative judgment of the Village that the Future Land Use Map provides the most appropriate way to limit development in high hazard areas consistent with reasonable property rights and long-established land use patterns. Policy 3.2: The Village will limit the expenditure of Village funds on infrastructure within any designated coastal high hazard area if such expenditure would have the effect of directly subsidizing development which is significantly more intensive than authorized by this Plan. This policy shall not be interpreted as prohibiting the extension of sewer lines to replace failed septic tank systems. Capital Improvements Element 63 CHAPTER 11. EDUCATION ELEMENT EDUCATIONAL ELEMENT GOAL Develop, operate, and maintain a system of public education by Miami -Dade County Public Schools, in cooperation with the village and other appropriate governmental agencies, which will strive to improve the quality and quantity of public educational facilities available to the residents of Miami Shores Village and Miami -Dade County, Florida. Miami Shores Village will maintain its inter -local agreement with Miami -Dade County Public Schools. OBJECTIVE 1: Promote the reduction of the overcrowding that currently exists in the Miami -Dade County Public Schools, while striving to attain an optimum level of service pursuant to OBJECTIVE 1.5. Work with Miami -Dade County Public Schools to develop additional solutions to overcrowding so that Miami -Dade County Schools achieves public school enrollment in Miami Shores Village that will meet state requirements for class size, while recognizing that Miami -Dade County Schools has only one school in Miami Shores Village, an elementary school, and while recognizing that Miami Shores Village is a built out community with almost no vacant land or opportunity for development that will increase enrollment. POLICY 1.1: Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to continue to provide new student stations through their Capital Outlay program, as funding is available. POLICY 1.2: Collect impact fees from new development for transfer to Miami -Dade County Public Schools to offset the impacts of these additional students on the capital facilities of the school system, while recognizing that Miami Shores Village is a built out community with almost no vacant land or opportunity for development that will increase student enrollment. POLICY 1.3: Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to develop and implement alternative educational facilities, such as primary learning centers, which can be constructed on small parcels of land and relieve overcrowding at elementary schools, in so far as funding, land availability and rules permit. POLICY 1.4: Education Element 64 Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to provide public school facilities to the students of Miami -Dade County that operate at optimum capacity, subject to funding availability. Operational alternatives may be developed and implemented, where appropriate, which mitigate the impacts of overcrowding while maintaining the instructional integrity of the educational program. POLICY 1.5: Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to maintain and/or improve the established level of service (LOS), for Public Educational Facilities, as established for the purposes of school concurrency. POLICY 1.6: Miami -Dade County Public Schools' comments shall be sought and considered on residential comprehensive plan and zoning amendments which could impact the school district, to be consistent with the terms of the state mandated Interlocal Agreement pursuant to Sections 1013.33 and 163.31777, Florida Statutes. POLICY 1.7: Capital improvement programming by Miami -Dade Public Schools shall be based on future enrollment projections and demographic shifts and targeted to enhance the effectiveness of the learning environment. The future enrollment projections shall utilize student population projections based on information produced by the demographic, revenue, and education estimating conferences pursuant to Section 216.136, Florida Statutes, where available, as modified by Miami -Dade County Public Schools based on development data and agreement with the local governments, the State Office of Educational Facilities and the State SMART Schools Clearinghouse. Miami -Dade County Public Schools may request adjustment to the estimating conferences' projections to reflect actual enrollment and development trends. In formulating such a request, Miami -Dade County Public Schools shall coordinate with the Cities and County regarding development trends and future population projections. Miami -Dade Public Schools shall consider development trends and future population projections for Miami Shores Village based on Miami Shores Village as a built out community with almost no vacant land or opportunity for development that will increase population or school enrollment. POLICY 1.8: Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools and applicable local governments through the Staff Working Group of the Interlocal Agreement to review Education Element 65 annually necessary revisions to the Educational Element and school enrollment projections. OBJECTIVE 2: Coordinate new residential development with the future availability of public school facilities consistent with the adopted level of service standards for public school concurrency, to ensure the inclusion of those projects necessary to address existing deficiencies in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements, and meet future needs based upon achieving and maintaining the adopted level of service standards throughout the planning period. POLICY 2.1: The adopted level of service (LOS) standard for all public school facilities within and served by Miami Shores Village is 100% utilization of Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) Capacity (With Relocatable Classrooms). This LOS standard, except for magnet schools, will be applicable in each public school concurrency service area (CSA), defined as the public school attendance boundary established by Miami -Dade County Public Schools. The adopted LOS standard for Magnet Schools is 100% of FISH (With Relocatable Classrooms), which shall be calculated on a district wide basis. POLICY 2.2: Although not the established LOS standard, it is the goal of Miami -Dade County Public Schools and the Village for all public school facilities to achieve 100% utilization of Permanent FISH (No Relocatable Classrooms) capacity. To help achieve the desired 100% utilization of Permanent FISH County Public Schools should continue to decrease the number of relocatable classrooms over time. Public school facilities that achieve 100% utilization of Permanent FISH capacity should, to the extent possible, no longer utilize relocatable classrooms, except as an operational solution to achieve the level of service standard during replacement, remodeling, renovation or expansion of a public school facility. However, the LOS standard for concurrency purposes remains as established in Policy 2.1. The Village in coordination with Miami -Dade County Public Schools will assess the viability of modifying the adopted LOS standard to 100% utilization of Permanent FISH (no relocatable classrooms) for all Concurrency Service Areas (CSAs). POLICY 2.3: In the event the adopted LOS standard of a CSA cannot be met because of a proposed development's impact, the development may proceed, provided at least one of the following options is satisfied: Education Element 66 a) The development's impact can be shifted to one or more contiguous CSAs that have available capacity and is located, either in whole or in part, within the same Miami -Dade County Public Schools designated geographic areas (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, or Southeast) as the proposed development; or, b) The development's impact is mitigated, proportionate to the demand for public schools it created, pursuant to a Proportionate Share Mitigation Agreement through a combination of one or more appropriate proportionate share mitigation options, as defined in Section 163.3180 (6)(a-k), Florida Statutes, as amended. The intent of these options is to provide for the mitigation of residential development impacts on public school facilities, guaranteed by a legal binding agreement, through mechanisms that include, one or more of the following: (1) contribution of land; (2) the construction, expansion, or payment for land acquisition or construction of a permanent public school facility; or (3) the creation of a mitigation bank based on the construction of a permanent public school facility in exchange for the right to sell capacity credits. The Proportionate Share Mitigation Agreement is subject to approval by Miami -Dade County Public Schools and Miami Shores Village council and must be identified in the Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program; or, c) The development's impacts are phased to occur when sufficient capacity will be available. If none of the above conditions is met, the development shall not be approved. POLICY 2.4: Concurrency Service Areas (CSAs) shall be delineated to: 1) maximize capacity utilization of the facility; 2) limit maximum travel times and reduce transportation costs; 3) acknowledge the effect of court -approved desegregation plans; 4) achieve socio-economic, racial, cultural and diversity objectives; and 5) achieve other relevant objectives as determined by Miami -Dade County Public Schools' policy on maximization of capacity. Periodic adjustments to the boundary or area of a CSA may be made by Miami -Dade County Public Schools to achieve the above stated factors. Other potential amendments to the CSAs shall be considered annually at the Staff Working Group meeting to take place each year no later than April 30 or October 31, consistent with Section 9 of the Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning. POLICY 2.5: Ensure, via the implementation of the concurrency management system and Miami - Education Element 67 Dade County Public School Facilities Work Program for educational facilities that existing deficiencies are addressed and the capacity of schools is sufficient to support residential development at the adopted level of service (LOS) standards throughout the planning period in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements.

Summary of Local Communities ..... ..... ........ .............. ..... ........ ........ ............... ......... ................. ............. !U References...............................................................................................................14 Introduction Coastal Risk Consulting, LLC (Coastal Risk) was retained by Miami Shores Village, located in Miami -Dade County, Florida, to perform an Environmental Vulnerability Study focusing on the effects of sea level rise (SLR), tidal flooding and storm surge. Coastal Risk utilized its state-of-the-art technology, the Coastal Risk Rapid Assessment (CRRATM), to model current and future flood risks due to: (1) tides; (2) storm surge; and, (3) heavy rainfall, through the year 2048. The CRRAI uses as a centerpiece of its flood modeling the spatial extent of non -storm or nuisance flooding, which is related to factors such as sea level rise, tidal forcing, groundwater depth, and local subsidence. In addition to the locations within the community where flooding will occur, the CRRA " projects when (how many days per year) and how deep tidally -related flooding will be. In addition to the Flood Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (Phase 1), Coastal Risk will provide Miami Shores with Adaption Strategies (Phase 2), which examine the effectiveness of certain adaptation and resilience options, and provide general cost estimates for those measures. About Miami Shores Miami Shores Village is a residential community located just north of Miami, Florida, on the coast of Biscayne Bay. It is home to approximately 10,000 people and includes two small commercial areas along NE 2nd Ave and Biscayne Blvd. Biscayne Bay is the eastern boundary of the community, and most of the shoreline is privately owned. The exception is Bayfront Park, which extends as a narrow strip between N Bayshore Drive and a sea wall for 3 blocks. The Village also includes the Biscayne C8 drainage canal, which is managed by the South Florida Water Management District, and a private canal between N 102nd St and N 103rd St. Tides along this part of Biscayne Bay normally range around 2 feet due to the effect of lunar orbital cycles, thermal expansion of water as it reaches its peak warmth during late summer and early fall, and seasonal changes in onshore winds and atmospheric pressure. The highest of all annual high tides, often called "king tides", occur during the fall when these factors enhance tidal levels and can lead to localized or "nuisance" flooding. As described below, Coastal Risk's modeling framework analyzes tidal patterns and projections of future sea level rise to determine the specific areas of land surface that will be affected by tidally influenced flooding, as well as how often the flooding will occur in future years. As is the case over much of South Florida, Miami Shores Village sits on bedrock that is primarily limestone. Limestone is highly porous, so it readily stores and conducts water. The permeable nature of limestone means that rising sea levels will cause the inland water table to rise, reducing the available water storage capacity of the ground. As the water tables rise, the ground is able to absorb less water in the event of heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of rainfall -induced flooding. When sea level rises to even greater heights in the coming decades, the limestone bedrock will allow the water table to seep up from the ground 'itself, making seawalls and other protective external barriers less effective to prevent flooding in low-lying areas. Methodology Coastal Risk Consulting, LLC has developed advanced geospatial modeling capabilities designed to analyze and predict current and future climate impacts (flooding, tidal changes, storm surge, sea -level rise, groundwater conditions, etc.) at the parcel -level for coastal communities throughout the United States, Our proprietary modeling framework forecasts the probability of both tidal flooding and storm surge inundation on individual property parcels over the next 30-years. The model uses publicly -available databases and best practices from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which are integrated with Coastal Risk's geospatial analysis tools to forecast current flood risk and future change flooding due to sea level rise (Sweet and Park, 2014; Sweet et aL, 2014). Key components of Coastal Risk's modeling include high -resolution LiDAR measurements of surface topography. This information provides a simple graphical visualization to identify the location and extent of low-lying areas. It also gives context to the Coastal Risk modeling results and assists with evaluation and prioritization of adaption strategies. The Coastal Risk modeling framework integrates this information with local tidal records, simulations of hurricane storm surge using the NOAA Sea Lake Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model, and scientific projections of future sea level rise to predict future current and future changes in flood risk The Coastal Risk storm surge model is a proprietary application of the NOAA SLOSH model (NOM, 2017), which is widely used to quantify storm surge risk (Frazier et al, 2010, Shepard et at., 2012). Three types of flood risk are examined in this document: 1) tidal or non -storm "nuisance" flooding which arises from sea water rising above existing land; 2) storm surge flooding associated with hurricanes passing over or near the Village; and, 3) heavy rainfall flooding, which results when rainfall exceeds the drainage and ground storage capacity. The sections below outline the flood risks for Miami Shores under current conditions and highlights how these flood risks will change in the future due to sea level rise. Coastal Risk held a public meeting in Miami Shores on February 13, 2018. At this meeting Coastal Risk staff presented their initial findings to Village staff and the public and gathered feedback about the residents' experiences with flooding during recent king tides and Hurricane Irma. Attendees had the opportunity to view maps indicating forecasted flooding scenarios, to speak with Coastal Risk staff and to leave written comments. The comments are summarized below in section 1.4. Phase 1: Vulnerability Assessment Phase 1 of this environmental vulnerability study assesses the risk of coastal flooding due to extreme high tides, storm surge, and heavy rainfall on the built environment of Miami Shores Village, including residential areas and infrastructure. It also includes a summary of how some neighboring communities are addressing coastal flooding. 1.1 Tidal Flooding This section summarizes the current and future flood risks due to tidal flooding in Miami Shores Village. Tidal flooding is the temporary inundation of low-lying areas by seawater during high tide events. It is not a result of rainfall. These models show what impacts can be expected, if no additional mitigation steps are taken to reduce these flooding risks.

The areas circled In blue are the highest tides of the year, when the risk of tidal flooding peaks. Figure Credit; B. McNoldy, Univ. of Miami. Figure 2 This map indicates where tidal flooding Is predicted by Coastal Risk models are current conditions during the highest tides of the year. Figure 2 shows the model predictions for tidal flooding during the highest expected tidal events of 2018. The northern neighborhood of Shores Estates is highly exposed, as well as some low-lying pockets directly adjacent to the canals and Biscayne Bay. These findings are consistent with the comments that residents and Village staff expressed about their areas of highest concern. Figure 3 By 2033, the areas Impacted by tidal flooding, shown here in blue, will expand further inland and Impact more properties. Next, Coastal Risk extended the tidal flood analysis illustrated above into the future using projections of sea level rise created by NOAA. By 2033, the area affected by tidal flooding has increased due to rising sea levels. More properties are impacted, including several cases where water extends several blocks from the shoreline or canal. In this situation, the ground water is higher, levels of inundation are higher, drainage systems are completely flooded and it will take longer to drain the area. Figure 4 By 2048, tidal flooding, indicated in blue, will extend a quarter mile from the bay shore in many areas, Impacting a significant number of private properties as well as public resources such as the golf course. Over the next three decades, tidal flooding is projected to affect ever-increasing areas, including a significant number of private residential properties that currently have septic tanks, as well as roads and drainage systems. The public golf course will be heavily impacted. This map indicates the flooding expected on the highest tides, but many of the areas marked on this map can expect flooding to happen much more frequently throughout the year. 1.2 Storm Surge Flooding This section summarizes the current and future flood risks due to storm surge flooding in Miami Shores. Storm surge refers to the increased water levels generated by a tropical cyclone due to the strong winds and lower atmospheric pressure. Storm surges occur for all categories of tropical cyclones, from a tropical storm up to a category 5 hurricane. While the surge generally increases with the intensity of the storm, there are a number of additional factors that affect storm surge. These factors include the size of the storm, the path of the storm prior to landfall, the proximity of the point of landfall, the coastal topography and offshore,ocean bathymetry, and the timing of the storms arrival with local tides. The analysis below presents the maximum surge that would result from a category 1, 3, or 5 hurricane under current sea level conditions. According to the National Hurricane Center, the odds of a hurricane coming within 50 nautical miles of the Miami Shores area is 12.5% for any given year. For a major hurricane, defined as category 3 or higher, the odds of one impacting the region is about 6% in any given year (National Hurricane Center). As sea level rises, the depth of storm surge will also increase. Because this type of flooding coincides with high winds, waves, and intense rain, the increased depth of flood waters will be all the more destructive. Figure 5 This map indicates the maximum flooding that could be expected from storm surge associated with a category i hurricane making landfall near Miami Shores during high tide under 2018 sea level conditions. Figure 5 depicts the depth of the storm surge (above ground) that will be experienced under current sea level conditions from a hypothetical category 1 hurricane that makes landfall on or near Miami Shores. This figure correlates well with the conditions described by residents when Irma impacted Miami Shores with tropical storm -force winds in September 2017. Figure 6 The green and yellow colors on this map indicate the Increased water depth associated with surge from a more powerful category 3 storm. As indicated in Figure 6, a category 3 storm would bring significantly higher water levels into the Village, impacting all properties east of US 1 and nearly all properties north of the Biscayne C8 canal. In the most low-lying areas, residents could expect more than 4 feet of floodwater, unless public and private adaptation measures are taken to reduce the risk. Figure 7 As the'colored areas on this map indicate, a powerful category 5 storm would generate enough surge to impact nearly every property in Miami Shores, with water over g feet deep near the shoreline. Figure 7 shows the devastating impacts that could be expected if a category 5 hurricane were to pass near Miami Shores. The flooding would be widespread, impacting nearly every property in the Village. Near the shoreline, floodwaters could be over 8 feet deep. This type of flooding would be also accompanied by high winds and waves likely to cause severe damage to property and infrastructure. 1.3 Rainfall Flooding Rainfall flooding can occur when precipitation infiltrates into the ground and causes the water table to rise above normal levels. Poor drainage can lead to large areas of standing water after even small rainstorms. As sea level rises, heavy rainfall flooding will become more and more frequent as the average water table height rises in the limestone bedrock underneath, and the ground becomes less absorbent in heavy rain events. Figure 8 This figure indicates the areas where flooding due to heavy rainfall is expected In 2010 In Miami Shores. The color range green to red indicates depth of flooding expected. Figure 8 shows the areas that the model forecasts will be impacted by water accumulation and poor drainage due to heavy rainfall. Many properties within one block of the Bay shoreline and along the private canal are at severe risk of flooding due to heavy rainfall. Numerous attendees of the public meeting mentioned drainage problems in their yards and alleys due to heavy and sometimes just moderate rainfall, including several homeowners who live in the high risk areas indicated in Figure 8. 1.4 Public Commentary Coastal Risk hosted a public meeting in Miami Shores on February 13, 2018. Of the approximately 25 attendees at the public meeting, 14 left written comments and many also spoke directly with Coastal Risk staff to ask questions and offer feedback. The residents who attended the meeting were all very concerned about flooding in the Village, and offered many questions about when and how the Village would be taking action to resolve the problems. Residents mentioned numerous impacts from sea level rise and flooding including: water damage to vehicles, impassable roads, concerns about slowed emergency response, erosion, mosquitoes breeding in standing water, failed septic tanks, concerns about loss of property values, and expensive repairs in the wake of Irma. Many attendees expressed a sense of urgency and appealed for quick action to address the flooding problems. Numerous people who reviewed the tidal flooding maps confirmed that the maps do reflect the areas that experienced problems during king tides of 2017 and during Hurricane Irma in September 2017. In the written feedback, attendees were asked about their personal experiences with flooding in Miami Shores, as well as the causes and frequency of that flooding. More than half of the respondents said that flooding happens frequently, while one said that their garage had flooded for the first time in 48 years due to the Irma - related storm surge. Participants mentioned tides, storm surge and heavy rainfall in roughly equal numbers as causes for their flooding. 1.5 Vulnerability Analysis This analysis shows that parts of Miami Shores are highly vulnerable to coastal flooding. The Village is currently experiencing flooding due to the combined effects of sea level rise, high tides, storm surge, elevated ground water and heavy rainfall. These floods cause negative impacts to the Village, including damage to property and infrastructure, costs to mitigate the flooding, and impacts to the quality of life. The models indicate that the most vulnerable area of Miami Shores is the neighborhood of Shores Estates. Discussions with residents and Village staff confirm that this neighborhood is currently experiencing flooding during high tides and during heavy rains. Unless action is taken to reduce flooding in this area, problems such as malfunctioning septic systems and impassable roads will cause extreme hardships to residents in the future. As sea level rises, flooding will become more widespread through the Village. The areas of flooding will extend to include more properties, and the higher water levels will cause more damage and take longer to recede. 1.6 Summary of Local Communities Many areas in South Florida are experiencing coastal flooding more severely and more frequently in recent years. These floods can cause damage to buildings and flooded roadways. Storm drains that were designed to flow out can be blocked when sea level rises above the outfall, and in some cases water can backflow up into streets (FL Sea Granny 2018). Some areas are addressing problems as they arise, implementing targeted mitigation steps such as regulating minimum sea wall heights, drainage improvements including road design and pump stations, and shifting from septic to sanitary sewer systems. Larger municipalities such as Miami Beach are taking a more comprehensive approach to sea level rise and flooding with a public outreach campaign, stormwater master plan, and significant investment in infrastructure over long time scales (Miam1 Beach Rising Above, 2018). Two south Florida municipalities recently established a minimum elevation for public and private sea walls in an effort to maintain a consistent barrier along their shorelines. In 2016, both Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach updated regulations on sea wall heights, mandating that any sea walls built or substantially improved must comply with the new standards (all given in feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 or NAVD88). In Fort Lauderdale, the minimum allowable sea wall height is now 3,9 feet (Ft. Lauderdale ULDRArt Ill, §47-19.3). In Miami Beach, the regulation specifies that public sea walls must be at least 5.7 feet while private sea walls have a lower standard of 4 feet (Miami Beach Munfcfpal Code, Art VI, §66-155). Road flooding is becoming increasingly common and problematic throughout the region. Consequently, areas such as Monroe County (Rhonda Haag, personal communication, Feb 14, 2018) and Miami Beach (Miami Beach Rising Above, 2018) are investing in elevating their roadways above forecasted flood levels. Road elevation requires long-term planning and a significant investment of public funds. It also requires proper design to maintain streetscapes and improvements in drainage to avoid increased flooding in adjacent low areas. Phase 2 of this report will investigate actions such as those described above, and make recommendations about which adaptation options are most suitable for Miami Shores.

Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Sub -Element Miami Shores Village does not provide potable water to the residents of Miami Shores Village Potable water is supplied to the residents of Miami Shores Village by the Miami - Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) and the City of North Miami from the Hialeah -Preston Water Treatment Plant located in Hialeah, through service agreements entered into directly with the residents of Miami Shores Village. WASD and the City of North Miami own the water lines within the Miami Shores Village rights -of -way that deliver potable water to the residents. WASD and the City of North Miami will continue to provide potable water to the residents of Miami Shores Village during the period of this plan and beyond. As water suppliers to the residents of Miami Shores Village, the Miami Dade and Sewer Department, 20-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (2014-2033), dated November 2014, and the City of North Miami Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and as amended are recognized as the effective plans for potable water supply to Miami Shores Village. Provision of Potable Water Supplies and Facilities: Potable Water Supply The Miami -Dade County "Water Supply Facilities Worts Plan," dated March 2008, Support Data CDM Pr❑iect NO. 6430-57901-061 Kenneth L. Caban P.E. BCEE. for Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. is herby incorporated by reference. All potable water for Miami Shores is supplied by the Hialeah -Preston Water Treatment Plant located in Hialeah. The plant has a design capacity of 235 million gallons per day (MGD) with an average daily demand of 166.1 MGD and utilizes a lime softening treatment process. The plants average daily water demand for 2005 was approximately 166 MGD and served about 993,872 persons. Demand attributable to Miami Shores is Infrastructure Element 32 Formatted: Font: 12pt I Formatted: Font: 12 pt estimated at 1.88 million gallons per day, based on the 2007 population estimate of 12.159 and per water use of 200 gallons per capita per day or equal the Miami - Dade CountV standard whichever is less. There is no waV to measure the amount of stable water consumed by Miami Shores since Village properties receive water direct] from the Miami -Dade County water system. According to WASD. the water purchased does not run through a central location that can be monitored. There are no industrial uses in the Village; therefore, it is not necessary, to increase. the, gallons per capita figure to account for industrial water demand. Water Distribution System The CLty of forth Miami and WASD operate water distributions stems in the Village. North Miami serves the Predominantly residential land uses along_N-E_ 105th Street and north of the Biscayne Canal from a six-inch water main located along Biscayne Boulevard. North Miami serves 153 single family homes and 380 multi -family residences for a total of 537 units served. The Miami -Dade WASD system serves the remainder of Miami Shores with a series of 12-inch water mains along N.E. 2nd 6th. and loth avenues. N.E. 95th Street. and N.W. 5th Avenue. These mains supply the water distribution lines that range in size from ten inches down to two inches. Needs Assessment Miami Shores Village does not intend to rovide otable water treatment or distribution facilities. New development or redevelopment will be served by the existing City of North Miami_ and Miami -Dade water distribution systems. These systems supply potable water meeting all health and safety requirements and provide a _satisfactory level of service for Miami Shores. The identification of existing and projected facilities needs will remain the responsibility of the Cily of North Miami and the County. These, facilities are expected to adequately accommodate the 2025 projected Village demand of 1.91 mgod since the County__ treatment plant capacity is currently 501 MGD, with a system peak demand of only_380.31 MGD in the year 2005. As well. the County, plans to bhng the system caoadty to over 600 MGp by 2025 with the addition of approximately Ill MGD to its current treatment capacity. Miami Shores Village will work closely with theses service providers to assure that potable water needs continue to be met satisfactorily.

The intent of these options is to provide for the mitigation of residential development impacts on public school facilities through Public School Mitigation Agreements that provide for one or more of the following: (1) contribution of land; (2) the construction, expansion, or payment for land acquisition or construction of a permanent public school facility; or (3) the creation of a mitigation bank for the right to sell capacity credits. • Pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, the Miami -Dade County Public Schools 5-Year District Facilities Work Program, developed by Miami - Dade Public Schools and annually updated, is incorporated by reference into the Village's Capital Improvement Plan, as applicable. • The Miami Shores Village shall coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools to annually update its Facilities Work Program to include existing and anticipated facilities for both the 5-year and long-term planning periods, and to ensure that the adopted level of service standard will continue to be achieved and maintained. Miami Shores Village, through its updates of the Capital Improvements Element and Program, will incorporate by reference the latest adopted Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program for educational facilities. Miami Shores Capital Improvements Element 62 Village and Miami -Dade County Public Schools will coordinate their planning efforts prior to and during the Village's Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment process, and during updates to the Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program. • The Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program will be evaluated on an annual basis to ensure that the level of service standards will continue to be achieved and maintained throughout the planning period. Policy 2.2: Public facilities shall be provided as necessary to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards. Objective 3: Direct population concentrations away from coastal high -hazard areas and limit coastal high -hazard area infrastructure expenditures: There are no coastal high hazard areas within the Village. If a coastal high hazard area is designated, the Village will direct population concentrations away from coastal high hazard areas and limit the expenditure of Village funds on infrastructure within the Coastal High Hazard Area if such expenditure would have the effect of directly subsidizing development which is significantly more intensive than authorized by this Plan. Monitoring and Evaluation: Achievement of this objective shall be measured by its implementing policies: Policy 3.1: The Village will restrict development in accordance with the Future Land Use Map of this plan. It is the legislative judgment of the Village that the Future Land Use Map provides the most appropriate way to limit development in high hazard areas consistent with reasonable property rights and long-established land use patterns. Policy 3.2: The Village will limit the expenditure of Village funds on infrastructure within any designated coastal high hazard area if such expenditure would have the effect of directly subsidizing development which is significantly more intensive than authorized by this Plan. This policy shall not be interpreted as prohibiting the extension of sewer lines to replace failed septic tank systems. Capital Improvements Element 63 CHAPTER 11. EDUCATION ELEMENT EDUCATIONAL ELEMENT GOAL Develop, operate, and maintain a system of public education by Miami -Dade County Public Schools, in cooperation with the village and other appropriate governmental agencies, which will strive to improve the quality and quantity of public educational facilities available to the residents of Miami Shores Village and Miami -Dade County, Florida. Miami Shores Village will maintain its inter -local agreement with Miami -Dade County Public Schools. OBJECTIVE 1: Promote the reduction of the overcrowding that currently exists in the Miami -Dade County Public Schools, while striving to attain an optimum level of service pursuant to OBJECTIVE 1.5. Work with Miami -Dade County Public Schools to develop additional solutions to overcrowding so that Miami -Dade County Schools achieves public school enrollment in Miami Shores Village that will meet state requirements for class size, while recognizing that Miami -Dade County Schools has only one school in Miami Shores Village, an elementary school, and while recognizing that Miami Shores Village is a built out community with almost no vacant land or opportunity for development that will increase enrollment. POLICY 1.1: Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to continue to provide new student stations through their Capital Outlay program, as funding is available. POLICY 1.2: Collect impact fees from new development for transfer to Miami -Dade County Public Schools to offset the impacts of these additional students on the capital facilities of the school system, while recognizing that Miami Shores Village is a built out community with almost no vacant land or opportunity for development that will increase student enrollment. POLICY 1.3: Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to develop and implement alternative educational facilities, such as primary learning centers, which can be constructed on small parcels of land and relieve overcrowding at elementary schools, in so far as funding, land availability and rules permit. POLICY 1.4: Education Element 64 Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to provide public school facilities to the students of Miami -Dade County that operate at optimum capacity, subject to funding availability. Operational alternatives may be developed and implemented, where appropriate, which mitigate the impacts of overcrowding while maintaining the instructional integrity of the educational program POLICY 1.5: Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to maintain and/or improve the established level of service (LOS), for Public Educational Facilities, as established for the purposes of school concurrency POLICY 1.6: Miami -Dade County Public Schools' comments shall be sought and considered on residential comprehensive plan and zoning amendments which could impact the school district, to be consistent with the terms of the state mandated Interlocal Agreement pursuant to Sections 1013.33 and 163.31777, Florida Statutes. POLICY 1.7: Capital improvement programming by Miami -Dade Public Schools shall be based on future enrollment projections and demographic shifts and targeted to enhance the effectiveness of the learning environment The future enrollment projections shall utilize student population projections based on information produced by the demographic, revenue, and education estimating conferences pursuant to Section 216.136, Florida Statutes, where available, as modified by Miami -Dade County Public Schools based on development data and agreement with the local governments, the State Office of Educational Facilities and the State SMART Schools Clearinghouse. Miami -Dade County Public Schools may request adjustment to the estimating conferences' projections to reflect actual enrollment and development trends. In formulating such a request, Miami -Dade County Public Schools shall coordinate with the Cities and County regarding development trends and future population projections. Miami -Dade Public Schools shall consider development trends and future population projections for Miami Shores Village based on Miami Shores Village as a built out community with almost no vacant land or opportunity for development that will increase population or school enrollment. POLICY 1.8: Coordinate with Miami -Dade County Public Schools and applicable local governments through the Staff Working Group of the Interlocal Agreement to review Education Element 65 annually necessary revisions to the Educational Element and school enrollment projections. OBJECTIVE 2: Coordinate new residential development with the future availability of public school facilities consistent with the adopted level of service standards for public school concurrency, to ensure the inclusion of those projects necessary to address existing deficiencies in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements, and meet future needs based upon achieving and maintaining the adopted level of service standards throughout the planning period. POLICY 2.1: The adopted level of service (LOS) standard for all public school facilities within and served by Miami Shores Village is 100% utilization of Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) Capacity (With Relocatable Classrooms) This LOS standard, except for magnet schools, will be applicable in each public school concurrency service area (CSA), defined as the public school attendance boundary established by Miami -Dade County Public Schools. The adopted LOS standard for Magnet Schools is 100% of FISH (With Relocatable Classrooms), which shall be calculated on a district wide basis POLICY 2.2: Although not the established LOS standard, it is the goal of Miami -Dade County Public Schools and the Village for all public school facilities to achieve 100% utilization of Permanent FISH (No Relocatable Classrooms) capacity. To help achieve the desired 100% utilization of Permanent FISH County Public Schools should continue to decrease the number of relocatable classrooms over time. Public school facilities that achieve 100% utilization of Permanent FISH capacity should, to the extent possible, no longer utilize relocatable classrooms, except as an operational solution to achieve the level of service standard during replacement, remodeling, renovation or expansion of a public school facility. However, the LOS standard for concurrency purposes remains as established in Policy 2.1. The Village in coordination with Miami -Dade County Public Schools will assess the viability of modifying the adopted LOS standard to 100% utilization of Permanent FISH (no relocatable classrooms) for all Concurrency Service Areas (CSAs). POLICY 2.3: In the event the adopted LOS standard of a CSA cannot be met because of a proposed development's impact, the development may proceed, provided at least one of the following options is satisfied: Education Element 66 a) The development's impact can be shifted to one or more contiguous CSAs that have available capacity and is located, either in whole or in part, within the same Miami -Dade County Public Schools designated geographic areas (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, or Southeast) as the proposed development; or, b) The development's impact is mitigated, proportionate to the demand for public schools it created, pursuant to a Proportionate Share Mitigation Agreement through a combination of one or more appropriate proportionate share mitigation options, as defined in Section 163.3180 (6)(a-k), Florida Statutes, as amended. The intent of these options is to provide for the mitigation of residential development impacts on public school facilities, guaranteed by a legal binding agreement, through mechanisms that include, one or more of the following: (1) contribution of land; (2) the construction, expansion, or payment for land acquisition or construction of a permanent public school facility; or (3) the creation of a mitigation bank based on the construction of a permanent public school facility in exchange for the right to sell capacity credits. The Proportionate Share Mitigation Agreement is subject to approval by Miami -Dade County Public Schools and Miami Shores Village council and must be identified in the Miami -Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program; or, c) The development's impacts are phased to occur when sufficient capacity will be available. If none of the above conditions is met, the development shall not be approved. POLICY 2.4: Concurrency Service Areas (CSAs) shall be delineated to: 1) maximize capacity utilization of the facility; 2) limit maximum travel times and reduce transportation costs; 3) acknowledge the effect of court -approved desegregation plans; 4) achieve socio-economic, racial, cultural and diversity objectives; and 5) achieve other relevant objectives as determined by Miami -Dade County Public Schools' policy on maximization of capacity Periodic adjustments to the boundary or area of a CSA may be made by Miami -Dade County Public Schools to achieve the above stated factors. Other potential amendments to the CSAs shall be considered annually at the Staff Working Group meeting to take place each year no later than April 30 or October 31, consistent with Section 9 of the Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning. POLICY 2.5: Ensure, via the implementation of the concurrency management system and Miami - Education Element 67 Dade County Public School Facilities Work Program for educational facilities that existing deficiencies are addressed and the capacity of schools is sufficient to support residential development at the adopted level of service (LOS) standards throughout the planning period in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements.

References...............................................................................................................14 Introduction Coastal Risk Consulting, LLC (Coastal Risk) was retained by Miami Shores Village, located in Miami -Dade County, Florida, to perform an Environmental Vulnerability Study focusing on the effects of sea level rise (SLR), tidal flooding and storm surge. Coastal Risk utilized its state-of-the-art technology, the Coastal Risk Rapid Assessment (CRRAI), to model current and future flood risks due to: (1) tides; (2) storm surge; and, (3) heavy rainfall, through the year 2048. The CRRA' uses as a centerpiece of its flood modeling the spatial extent of non -storm or nuisance flooding, which is related to factors such as'sea level rise, tidal forcing, groundwater depth, and local subsidence. In addition to the locations within the community where flooding will occur, the CRRA' projects when (how many days per year) and how deep tidally -related flooding will be. In addition to the Flood Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (Phase 1), Coastal Risk will provide Miami Shores with Adaption Strategies (Phase 2), which examine the effectiveness of certain adaptation and resilience options, and provide general cost estimates for those measures. About Miami Shores Miami Shores Village is a residential community located just north of Miami, Florida, on the coast of Biscayne Bay. It is home to approximately 10,000 people and includes two small commercial areas along NE 2nd Ave and Biscayne Blvd. Biscayne Bay is the eastern boundary of the community, and most of the shoreline is privately owned. The exception is Bayfront Park, which extends as a narrow strip between N Bayshore Drive and a sea wall for 3 blocks. The Village also includes the Biscayne C8 drainage canal, which is managed by the South Florida Water Management District, and a private canal between N 102nd St and N 103rd St. Tides along this part of Biscayne Bay normally range around 2 feet due to the effect of lunar orbital cycles, thermal expansion of water as it reaches its peak warmth during late summer and early fall, and seasonal changes in onshore winds and atmospheric pressure. The highest of all annual high tides, often called "king tides", occur during the fall when these factors enhance tidal levels and can lead to localized or "nuisance" flooding. As described below, Coastal Risk's modeling framework analyzes tidal patterns and projections of future sea level rise to determine the specific areas of land surface that will be affected by tidally influenced flooding, as well as how often the flooding will occur in future years. As is the case over much of South Florida, Miami Shores Village sits on bedrock that is primarily limestone. Limestone is highly porous, so it readily stores and conducts water. The permeable nature of limestone means that rising sea levels will cause the inland water table to rise, reducing the available water storage capacity of the ground. As the water tables rise, the ground is able to absorb less water in the event of heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of rainfall -induced flooding. When sea level rises to even greater heights in the coming decades, the limestone bedrock will allow the water table to seep up from the ground itself, making seawalls and other protective external barriers less effective to prevent flooding in low-lying areas. Methodology Coastal Risk Consulting, LLC has developed advanced geospatial modeling capabilities designed to analyze and predict current and future climate impacts (flooding, tidal changes, storm surge, sea -level rise, groundwater conditions, etc.) at the parcel -level for coastal communities throughout the United States. Our proprietary modeling framework forecasts the probability of both tidal flooding and storm surge inundation,on individual property parcels over the next 30-years. The model uses publicly -available databases and best practices from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which are integrated with Coastal Risk's geospatial analysis tools to forecast current flood risk and future change flooding due to sea level rise (Sweet and Park, 2014; Sweet et at, 2014). Key components of Coastal Risk's modeling include high -resolution LiDAR measurements of surface topography. This information provides a simple graphical visualization to identify the location and extent of low-lying areas. It also gives context to the Coastal Risk modeling results and assists with evaluation and prioritization of adaption strategies. The Coastal Risk modeling framework integrates this information with local tidal records, simulations of hurricane storm surge using the NOAA Sea Lake Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model, and scientific projections of future sea level rise to predict future current and future changes in flood risk. The Coastal Risk storm surge model is a proprietary application of the NOAA SLOSH model (NOAA, 2017), which is widely used to quantify storm surge risk (Frazier et al, 2010; Shepard et at, 2012). Three types of flood risk are examined in this document: 1) tidal or non -storm "nuisance" flooding which arises from sea water rising above existing land; 2) storm surge flooding associated with hurricanes passing over or near the Village; and, 3) heavy rainfall flooding, which results when rainfall exceeds the drainage and ground storage capacity. The sections below outline the flood risks for Miami Shores under current conditions and highlights how these flood risks will change in the future due to sea level rise. Coastal Risk held a public meeting in Miami Shores on February 13, 2018. At this meeting Coastal Risk staff presented their initial findings to Village staff and the public and gathered feedback about the residents' experiences with flooding during recent king tides and Hurricane Irma. Attendees had the opportunity to view maps indicating forecasted flooding scenarios, to speak with Coastal Risk staff and to leave written comments. The comments are summarized below in section 1.4. Phase 1: Vulnerability Assessment Phase 1 of this environmental vulnerability study assesses the risk of coastal flooding due to extreme high tides, storm surge, and heavy rainfall on the built environment of Miami Shores Village, including residential areas and infrastructure. It also includes a summary of how some neighboring communities are addressing coastal flooding. 1.1 Tidal Flooding This section summarizes the current and future flood risks due to tidal flooding in Miami Shores Village. Tidal flooding is the temporary inundation of low-lying areas by seawater during high tide events. It is not a result of rainfall. These models show what impacts can be expected, if no additional mitigation steps are taken to reduce these flooding risks. fturly,Watsr Level Predictlonsat Virginia Key, FL for20t8 Onviu:dafe0n11Wudoafrom 11es0M1WulO]7humonle[anet mts-suq ur —euu 7i - eJ HI mew egwa H S MO n Isp Henn AC 0 AMoen new Moon .i --w 7 Now Moen fe 7E Nor?

The areas circled in blue are the highest tides of the year, when the risk of tidal flooding peaks. Figure Credit; B. McNoldy, Univ, of Miami. Figure 2 This map indicates where tidal flooding is predicted by Coastal Risk models are current conditions during the highest tides of the year. Figure 2 shows the model predictions for tidal flooding during the highest expected tidal events of 2018. The northern neighborhood of Shores Estates is highly exposed, as well as some low-lying pockets directly adjacent to the canals and Biscayne Bay. These findings are consistent with the comments that residents and Village staff expressed about their areas of highest concern. Figure 3 By 2033, the areas impacted by tidal flooding, shown here in blue, will expand further Inland and Impact more properties. Next, Coastal Risk extended the tidal flood analysis illustrated above into the future using projections of sea level rise created by NOAA. By 2033, the area affected by tidal flooding has increased due to rising sea levels. More properties are impacted, including several cases where water extends several blocks from the shoreline or canal. In this situation, the ground water is higher, levels of inundation are higher, drainage systems are completely flooded and it will take longer to drain the area. Figure 4 By 2048, tidal flooding, indicated in blue, will extend a quarter mile from the bay shore in many areas, impacting a significant number of private properties as well as public resources such as the golf course. Over the next three decades, tidal flooding is projected to affect ever-increasing areas, including a significant number of private residential properties that currently have septic tanks, as well as roads and drainage systems. The public golf course will be heavily impacted. This map indicates the flooding expected on the highest tides, but many of the areas marked on this map can expect flooding to happen much more frequently throughout the year. 1.2 Storm Surge Flooding This section summarizes the current and future flood risks due to storm surge flooding in Miami Shores. Storm surge refers to the increased water levels generated by a tropical cyclone due to the strong winds and lower atmospheric pressure. Storm surges occur for all categories of tropical cyclones, from a tropical storm up to a category 5 hurricane. While the surge generally increases with the intensity of the storm, there are a number of additional factors that affect storm surge. These factors include the size of the storm, the path of the storm prior to landfall, the proximity of the point of landfall, the coastal topography and offshore ocean bathymetry, and the timing of the storms arrival with local tides. The analysis below presents the maximum surge that would result from a category 1, 3, or 5 hurricane under current sea level conditions. According to the National Hurricane Center, the odds of a hurricane coming within 50 nautical miles of the Miami Shores area is 12.5% for any given year. For a major hurricane, defined as category 3 or higher, the odds of one impacting the region is about 6% in any given year (National Hurricane Center). As sea level rises, the depth of storm surge will also increase. Because this type of flooding coincides with high winds, waves, and intense rain, the increased depth of flood waters will be all the more destructive. Figure 5 This map indicates the maximum flooding that could be expected from storm surge associated with a category 1 hurricane making landfall near Miami Shores during high tide under 2018 sea level conditions. Figure 5 depicts the depth of the storm surge (above ground) that will be experienced under current sea level conditions from a hypothetical category 1 hurricane that makes landfall on or near Miami Shores. This figure correlates well with the conditions described by residents when Irma impacted Miami Shores with tropical storm -force winds in September 2017. Figure 6 The green and yellow colors on this map indicate the Increased water depth associated with surge from a more powerful category 3 storm. As indicated in Figure 6, a category 3 storm would bring significantly higher water levels into the Village, impacting all properties east of US 1 and nearly all properties north of the Biscayne C8 canal. In the most low-lying areas, residents could expect more than 4 feet of floodwater, unless public and private adaptation measures are taken to reduce the risk. Figure 7 As the colored areas on this map indicate, a powerfW category 5 storm would generate enough surge to impact nearly every property in Miami Shores, with water over a feet deep near the shoreline. Figure 7 shows the devastating impacts that could be expected if a category 5 hurricane were to pass near Miami Shores. The flooding would be widespread, impacting nearly every property in the Village. Near the shoreline, floodwaters could be over 8 feet deep. This type of flooding would be also accompanied by high winds and waves likely to cause severe damage to property and infrastructure. 1.3 Rainfall Flooding Rainfall flooding can occur when precipitation infiltrates into the ground and causes the water table to rise above normal levels. Poor drainage can lead to large areas of standing water after even small rainstorms. As sea level rises, heavy rainfall flooding will become more and more frequent as the average water table height rises in the limestone bedrock underneath, and the ground becomes less absorbent in heavy rain events. Figure 8 This figure indicates the areas where flooding due to heavy rainfall is expected in 2018 in Miami Shores. The color range green to red indicates depth of flooding expected. Figure 8 shows the areas that the model forecasts will be impacted by water accumulation and poor drainage due to heavy rainfall. Many properties within one block of the Bay shoreline and along the private canal are at severe risk of flooding due to heavy rainfall. Numerous attendees of the public meeting mentioned drainage problems in their yards and alleys due to heavy and sometimes just moderate rainfall, including several. homeowners who live in the high risk areas indicated in Figure 8. 1.4 Public Commentary Coastal Risk hosted a public meeting in Miami Shores on February 13, 2018. Of the approximately 25 attendees at the public meeting, 14 left written comments and many also spoke directly with Coastal Risk staff to ask questions and offer feedback. The residents who attended the meeting were all very concerned about flooding in the Village, and offered many questions about when and how the Village would be taking action to resolve the problems. Residents mentioned numerous impacts from sea level rise and flooding including: water damage to vehicles, impassable roads, concerns about slowed emergency response, erosion, mosquitoes breeding in standing water, failed septic tanks, concerns about loss of property values, and expensive repairs in the wake of Irma. Many attendees expressed a sense of urgency and appealed for quick action to address the flooding problems. Numerous people who reviewed the tidal flooding maps confirmed that the maps do reflect the areas that experienced problems during king tides of 2017 and during Hurricane Irma in September 2017. In the written feedback, attendees were asked about their personal experiences with flooding in Miami Shores, as well as the causes and frequency of that flooding. More than half of the respondents said that flooding happens frequently, while one said that their garage had flooded for the first time in 48 years due to the Irma - related storm surge. Participants mentioned tides, storm surge and heavy rainfall in roughly equal numbers as causes for their flooding. 1.5 Vulnerability Analysis This analysis shows that parts of Miami Shores are highly vulnerable to coastal flooding. The Village is currently experiencing flooding due to the combined effects of sea level rise, high tides, storm surge, elevated ground water and heavy rainfall. These floods cause negative impacts to the Village, including damage to property and infrastructure, costs to mitigate the flooding, and impacts to the quality of life. The models indicate that the most vulnerable area of Miami Shores is the neighborhood of Shores Estates. Discussions with residents and Village staff confirm that this neighborhood is currently experiencing flooding during high tides and during heavy rains. Unless action is taken to reduce flooding in this area, problems such as malfunctioning septic systems and impassable roads will cause extreme hardships to residents in the future. As sea level rises, flooding will become more widespread through the Village. The areas of flooding will extend to include more properties, and the higher water levels will cause more damage and take longer to recede. 1.6 Summary of Local Communities Many areas in South Florida are experiencing coastal flooding more severely and more frequently in recent years. These floods can cause damage to buildings and flooded roadways. Storm drains that were designed to flow out can be blocked when sea level rises above the outfall, and in some cases water can backflow up into streets (FL Sea Grant, 2018). Some areas are addressing problems as they arise, implementing targeted mitigation steps such as regulating minimum sea wall heights, drainage improvements including road design and pump stations, and shifting from septic to sanitary sewer systems. Larger municipalities such as Miami Beach are taking a more comprehensive approach to sea level rise and flooding with a public outreach campaign, stormwater master plan, and significant investment in infrastructure over long time scales (Miami Beach Rising Above, 2018). Two south Florida municipalities recently established a minimum elevation for public and private sea walls in an effort to maintain a consistent barrier along their shorelines. In 2016, both Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach updated regulations on sea wall heights, mandating that any sea walls built or substantially improved must comply with the new standards (all given in feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 or NAVD88). In Fort Lauderdale, the minimum allowable sea wall height is now 3.9 feet (Ft. Lauderdale ULDRArt 111, §47-19.3). In Miami Beach, the regulation specifies that public sea walls must be at least 5.7 feet while private sea walls have a lower standard of 4 feet (Miami Beach Municipal Code, Art V1, §66-155). Road flooding is becoming increasingly common and problematic throughout the region. Consequently, areas such as Monroe County (Rhonda Haag, personal communication, Feb 14, 2018) and Miami Beach (Miami Beach Rising Above, 2018) are investing in elevating their roadways above forecasted flood levels. Road elevation requires long-term planning and a significant investment of public funds. It also requires proper design to maintain streetscapes and improvements in drainage to avoid increased flooding in adjacent low areas. Phase 2 of this report will investigate actions such as those described above, and make recommendations about which adaptation options are most suitable for Miami Shores.

Please find enclosed the amended Comprehensive Plan which reflects those changes which have been identified/suggested by the Department of Economic Opportunity. To correct the objection, the Village has added new policies (Policy 11.7) in the Coastal Management Element to address the requirements of section 163.3178(2), of the Florida Statutes. The updated policies are identified in Objective 11 Post —Disaster Redevelopment Plan, Policy 11.2, Policy 11.3, and Policy 11.7 (which includes eliminating inappropriate and unsafe development in coastal areas when the opportunity arises). Objective 12, Flood Risk Reduction Policy 12.2 and 12.5 have been updated to include meaningful and predictable standards for principles and strategies to correct the concerns from flooding as identified by the community. Comment 1: Coastal Management Element — Peril of Flood Redevelopment Component. The Village has updated Objective 11, Policy 11.6 to reflect potential uncertainty. Comment 2: Coastal management Element. The Village has added the wording to be, "Consistent with, or more stringent than, the flood -resistant construction requirements of the Florida Building Code and applicable flood plain management regulations set forth in 44 C.F.R. part 60" this wording was added to Objective 11, Policy 11.2, and 11.3. Additionally, Objective 12, Policy 12.2 and 12.5 were also updated to reflect the change in wording. In response to the two recommendations proposed by the South Florida Water Management District the Village has made the following changes. Comment 1: Revised the proposed amendment to include in Infrastructure Policy 9.2 and Capital Improvements Element Policy 2.1 a Level of Service (LOS) Standard consistent with the Village's two VISIT US I www.miamishoresvillage.com water providers, Miami -Dade County and North Miami. The LOS Standard shall be consistent with their data and analysis of existing and projected water usage and demands as found in their Work Plans. Miami -Dade County has determined a LOS Standard of 2,768.97 gallons per day (gpd) would be consistent with their Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (adopted on Feb 14, 2015) for the area of the Village served by the County. North Miami has determined a LOS Standard based on land uses as found in Policy 4D.2.6 of the North Miami Comprehensive Plan would be consistent with their Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (adopted on April 26, 2016) for the area served by the Village. Comment 2: The Village is no longer proposing to delete the currently adopted Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) Sub -Element in the Infrastructure Element of the Village's Comprehensive Plan (see Objective 10, Policy 10.4). Pursuant to Florida Statute 163.3191, please find enclose the proposed updated amendments to the Comprehensive Plan for Miami Shores Village as prescribed by the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) approved March 5th 2019 on second reading by the Village Council.
