Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in a Federal Flood Risk Management Standard Designated Floodplain To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that North Miami under 24 CFR Part 58 has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order(s) 11988, as amended by Executive Order 13690 and Executive Order 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 in Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Wetlands Protection. The proposed activity is eligible for funding using CPF grant funds. The extent of the FFRMS floodplain was determined using the 500-year floodplain approach. Data was not available for the preferred method, Climate-Informed Science Approach. Project Details Project Name: North Miami Museum of Contemporary Arts Improvements Project Summary: This project will include multiple activities that will improve the facility. This includes back bar renovation to create temporary classrooms and programmable space, establishment of an art storage addition, and critical building repairs that include HVAC, fire suppression, security, stucco repair, impact window installation, and block glass window repair. FFRMS Details: The entirety of the property is located within a floodplain. Designation: Non-Critical Grant Information: CPF The City has been determined that there is no practicable alternative to locating this project in a floodplain. This is due to: 1) the static nature of floodplain 2) the static nature of the facility 3) the restrictions placed on CPF funding 4) the need for improvements to the Museum of Contemporary Arts This project will comply with all local, state, and federal floodplain procedures. Floodplains provide a wide range of benefits to the ecosystem and community that include: flood storage and erosion control; water quality maintenance – reducing sediment loads, filtering nutrients and impurities, and moderating water temperature; biological productivity and habitat for a variety of fish and wildlife; as well as recreational opportunities and open space. Potential impacts to these benefits were weighed and analyzed throughout the 8-Step Decision Making Process and these impacts will either be negligible or more than adequately mitigated against, and in some instances the mitigation measures will improve the capacity of the floodplain over its pre-impact state. The proposed project is not expected to have any impact on the floodplain. It is suitable for carrying out the mission of the United States Department of Urban Development (HUD) by providing necessary affordable housing to the community. Therefore, the proposed projects will not result in a negative impact to the interests of the surrounding population, the value of the watershed, or the ecological benefits of the floodplain. The recommendation to proceed with the proposed activities was made based on the fact that no appropriate alternatives were identified, no public comments regarding the floodplain were received, and the proposed actions are to be conducted in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal guidelines. In addition, the proposed activities ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, the preservation of the natural and beneficial functions and values attributable to onsite floodplain. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains, can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the City through the following contact information by June 22, 2025, beginning June 16, 2025, to: Alberte Bazile, MBA Housing and Social Services Director 305-895-9895 776 NE 125th Street North Miami, FL 33161 hssadmin@northmiamifl.gov A full description of the project may also be reviewed from Monday-Friday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the above address, on the City website at Public https://northmiamifl.gov/331/Public-Notices or by contacting Director Bazile at 305-895-9895 or hssadmin@northmiamifl.gov. IF REQUESTED, THIS DOCUMENT CAN BE PROVIDED IN AN ALTERNATIVE FORMAT.
