THE 2005 EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)
Updated November 14, 2005

* Please note this is a very large file and depending on your internet connection speed, it will take some time to open. 

 

As of November 2007, the City is preparing a series of amendments based on the 2005 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). 

The EAR-Based Amendments are amendments or changes to the current Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan's (MCNP) elements, goals, objectives, and policies.  As required by Florida Statutes (Section 163.3191, F.S), the recent Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) was an evaluation of the City's goals, objectives, and policies as to the effectiveness of the MCNP reflecting current identified neighborhood issues. The EAR made recommendations for updates and improvements only. The State Department of Community Affairs subsequently requires these recommendations be formally addressed in an amended MCNP.  The State requires that this process be completed for the City of Miami by August 2008. 

Compilation Report
This Report is a significant required document that is part of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process.  The City must prepare a list of major issues and strategies to update the Comprehensive Plan and make it more user friendly. The Florida Department of Community Affairs concur that these are the issues on which the report should focus. Upon agreement, a “Letter of Understanding” was created between the Florida Department of Community Affairs and the City to avoid misunderstandings during the review of the adopted evaluation and appraisal report (EAR).


1995 EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)
Updated November 1, 1995
This document was completed in September 1, 1995 on the 1989-2000 Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP).  Based on this evaluation, the report suggests how the plan at this time should be revised to better address community objectives, changing conditions and trends affecting affecting the community, and the changes in state requirements regarding growth management.  Please see attachments for recommendation on MCNP elements.
