Departmental Steering Committee

This statement is applicable to these recommendations in its entirety and is 

declared to be incorporated by reference into each part thereof.

1.  Nothing in the recommendations of the Perrine Charrette 

shall be construed or applied to constitute a temporary or 

permanent taking of private property or the abrogation of 

vested rights as determined to exist by the Code of Miami-

Dade County.

2.  The recommendations of the Perrine Charrette shall not 

be construed to preempt considerations of fundamental 

fairness that may arise from their strict application.  

Accordingly, these recommendations shall not be deemed 

to require any particular action where they are incomplete 

or internally inconsistent, or that would constitute a taking 

of property without due process or fair compensation, or 

would deny equal protection of the laws.

3.  The recommendations of the Perrine Charrette are 

intended to set general guidelines concerning its purposes 

and contents.  They are not a substitute for land 

development regulations.

4.  The recommendations of the Perrine Charrette contain 

long-range policies for the redevelopment of the Perrine 

area.  Nothing in these recommendations shall require the 

immediate changing of existing uses or structures.  It is 

the intent of these recommendations that they be applied 

as redevelopment occurs naturally or is precipitated 

by the destruction of the property to the extent that 

redevelopment in its original form is not economically 

feasible.

The recommendations of the Perrine Charrette are not intended to 

preempt the processes whereby applications may be filed for relief from 

land development regulations.

PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The goal of the Perrine Citizens’ Charrette Area Plan is to cre-

ate a framework that will help revitalize the area and improve 

the quality of life of its residents by achieving the following 

objectives:

• The development of Homestead Avenue as the Main Street, by 



establishing new design guidelines.

• Improve vehicular circulation and transit in a manner that is 



functional, and supportive of a pedestrian environment.

• To develop Hibiscus Street as a residential boulevard.

• To improve the general infrastructure of neighborhoods and 

districts.

• To redevelop and restore the Pioneer Bahamian architectural 



traditions, the “Historic Village”, and the Ben Shavis Park 

area.

• Complement the major streets with infill housing and 



adjacent mixed-use building forms that link the different 

neighborhoods. 

• Replace public housing subdivisions with affordable quality 



housing types for low-income families.

• Transform the U.S. 1 Corridor as a signature boulevard, and 



develop more mixed-use buildings along the Busway, creating 

a major community center anchored around a possible future 

Metrorail station in Perrine.

• Improve the industrial district between Eureka and Quail 



Roost Drives by renewed investments in infrastructure and 

building improvements, providing a gateway development at 

the Florida Turnpike.  

Executive Summary



The mission of the Perrine Design Charrette is to provide the entire Perrine Community a unified 

vision for the residential and commercial renaissance of Perrine. The vision aims to restore Perrine 

as a unique and flourishing destination with renewed economic and social viability.  The Charrette 

Plan will prepare the area to receive future growth gracefully and creatively. The Charrette will 

build on past experiences, existing planning studies and the foundation provided by the ‘Moss Plan’ 

into a holistic strategy  for implementation. This unified vision will be the guiding force to guide 

future growth and redevelopment in Perrine.

Mission Statement



“The community has decided to treat all its streets 

and edge corridors with the same dignity as those 

seen in some of the best towns in America. These 

edge corridors should act as great entrances to the 

different neighborhoods in the area.  The residents 

are conscious that what happens along these 

corridors reflects and affects their community’s 

success.”

Development of Homestead Avenue as a great Main Street:   

View to the south over the northern end of Homestead Avenue 

with proposed Metrorail station and library. Clear and precise 

guidelines are recommended to be established for building and 

street design.

PERRINE CHARRETTE, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY FLORIDA:

 

The Perrine Citizens’ Charrette Area Plan is the citizens’ 



vision for the enhancement of this OCED-Neighbor-

hood Revitalization Strategy Area. It represents the 

ultimate growth of their community and its neighbor-

hoods, with a recognizable center and to be able to 

complete itself as an authentic urban community lo-

cated within the unincorporated area of South Miami-

Dade County.

THE PERRINE CHARRETTE AREA PLAN GREW OUT OF A 

DESIGN CHARRETTE HELD FROM JANUARY 11th THROUGH 

JANUARY 17th, 2003:

 The Charrette was held at the 

Perrine CAA building and was well attended by resi-

dents, property and business owners, representing a di-

verse cross-section of the community. During the week, 

the design team set up its studio at the CAA building in 

Perrine, where the doors remained open to the public 

all day.  A presentation of work in progress was held 

on Friday, January 17th. Residents, property and busi-

ness owners as well as County staff and elected officials 

were present. Work continued in the weeks that fol-

lowed the initial public workshop.

THE CITIZENS, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A PROFESSIONAL 

TEAM, STUDIED THE MANY CHALLENGES FACED BY THE 

COMMUNITY AND PROPOSED SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS:

 A 

series of presentations by County Staff will be held 



between the months of June and July 2003. It will be 

a time to take into account further citizen and profes-

sional input.

This document, the Perrine Charrette Report is being pre-

sented to the community of Perrine based on their ideas and 

wishes, and in particular to those individuals committed to 

the vision of  Perrine as a special place, where its history can 

give form to its future. 

Perrine was founded at a time when people viewed settle-

ments as valuable places where all the activities of life could 

take place.  This very special character of Perrine should be 

preserved.

Today, most areas are designed haphazardly for growth or 

development, not to become towns or villages. Towns and 

villages have common characteristics.  They have a center 

and an edge.  They have places to live, work and relax.  The 

buildings preserve the scale and character of their surround-

ings.  The residents feel they belong to a community.  They 

share schools, parks and churches, and there are few facili-

ties and establishments designed to attract large crowds of 

out-of-towners.  A Charrrette Area Plan for Perrine should 

reinforce these features.



The Charrette Area Plan should be used as a guide to help 

Perrine achieve its vision and complete itself as an authentic 

urban community in South Miami-Dade County.

For many locals, there is the perception that development 

has chosen other communities over Perrine due to its lack of 

infrastructure. But while development has occurred mostly 

around Perrine, as well as along U.S. 1, the kind of develop-

ment these communities have inherited has not been entirely 

successful in the creation of meaningful urban places, a good 

job base or meaningful residential development.

Perrine, unfortunately shares the fate of so many communi-

ties across south Miami-Dade after hurricane Andrew; the 

Foreword

exodus of businesses and families away from established 

urban centers has drained precious resources and the result-

ing economic decline and social isolation has put consider-

able strain on communal bonds. However, there is growing 

confidence among community leaders today that this decline 

in the process of being reversed, that an integrated policy of 

urban revitalization, embodied in sound principles of urban 

design and implemented through effective management, can 

contribute to Perrine’s renewal. Families and businesses are 

finding their way back and contributing to the prosperity of 

those already established in the community.

Several opportunities exist for the natural infill of building 

lots. There are also opportunities for larger additions within 

the Perrine area. With opportunity however comes the re-

sponsibility of citizens to assure that what makes Perrine 

special and rare in today’s world is not lost. It is important 

that future development that continues the natural pattern 

of streets, and buildings which preserve the special charac-

ter, scale and architecture of Perrine be considered as good 

design and encouraged. 

Just as Perrine has managed to maintain a well-connected 

pattern of streets and public spaces on which to build 

around, it is not complete. It is a work in progress. The de-

velopment of Perrine will be a slow and steady process and 

every decision made affecting the neighborhood should pre-

serve its historically residential character and move it closer 

to the vision expressed by the citizens.

The ideas presented in this document strive to capture the 

wealth of assets already present in Perrine, which can be 

used to create a bold vision for the future. A future that 

makes Perrine a special place to work, live and visit.

The Study Area



PERRINE WITHIN THE REGION

Historically, Perrine was divided by U.S. 1 into two parts, 

East and West. East Perrine has recently had its identity 

subsumed into the newly incorporated city of Palmetto Bay, 

leaving West Perrine to maintain a link to the traditions and 

heritage of this area’s initial settlement. 

The most accepted boundaries for Perrine now are SW 

160th Street to the north, Marlin Drive to the south, U.S. 

1 on the east and the Homestead Extension of the Florida 

Turnpike to the west. The Perrine Charrette study area gen-

erally follows these very boundaries.

CHARRETTE STUDY AREA BOUNDARIES

The focus area for this  study was primarily within the fol-

lowing boundaries:

SW 168th Street from SW 107th Avenue to U.S. 1 on the 

North

;

U.S. 1 (South Dixie Highway) on the 



East

;

Marlin Road, the C-1N Canal and Eureka Drive on the 



South

;

SW 107th Avenue from SW 168th Street to Quail Roost 



Drive and the Florida Turnpike on the 

West


.

A UNIQUE SOUTH DADE COMMUNITY

Perrine is uniquely positioned within South Dade and its 

perfect location between the Florida Turnpike and U.S. 1 

makes it a prime area poised for future development and 

growth. U.S. 1 serves as a commercial spine and the Busway 

allows uninterrupted public transportation access to this 

area. The future plans to have a proposed Metrorail station 

in this area will create a major impact allowing additional 

development to come hand in hand with the convenience of 

this new means of public transportation. 

Perrine’s advantages stems from many different factors such 

as:


•  The proximity to the Turnpike.

•  The unique geometry of U.S. 1 and the Busway

•  The presence of a healthy light industrial district

•  Richmond Drive and R.R. Moton Elementary Schools

•  The presence of canals and water features

•  Amount of available vacant land

•  Parks such as West Perrine and Ben Shavis

•  The presence of historic elements and structures

•  The proposed future Metrorail extention

•  Proximity to the Cutler Ridge Metropolitan center

This remarkable concentration of physical advantages to-

gether with Perrine’s existing urban neighborhood like quali-

ties makes this a place that should naturally evolve to an 

authentic historic community.

The image above reveals just how many ‘holes in the fabric’ 

or vacant spaces and lots are avilable in Perrine that could be 

filled with buildings. These vacant parcels should be viewed 

as opportunities towards completing Perrine as an authentic 

urban residential community of South Dade.

Perrine in the context of the region and the study area boundaries

The other important difference between Perrine and other 

areas in Miami-Dade County, is that Perrine has time, and 

most importantly, its residents have decided to choose their 

future. They have decided that Perrine as a community sho-

ould attract housing for all incomes, good transportation 

and access to jobs.

Each of these special conditions of Perrine is analyzed and 

described in this report together with the residents’ goals 

and objectives necessary to achieve growth and economic 

vitality on their own terms.
