AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH YEAR
2025 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 1, ENTITLED
"FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT;" "OBJECTIVE 1: LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS," TO PROHIBIT ANY FORM OF GAMBLING AND CASINO
USES AS DELINEATED IN CHAPTER 546 AND 550, FLORIDA STATUTES;
PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; TRANSMITTAL; REPEALER;
SEVERABILITY; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature in considering certain legislative amendments that
would allow the expansion of slot machines and casino gambling; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach has a long-standing policy against casino gambling
in Florida as evidenced by the following resolutions: 2017-29846, 2014-28529, 2011-27812,
2008-26927, and 2008-26925; and
WHEREAS, the legislation being considered would allow for casino operations that rival
in size and scope the gambling operations existing in Las Vegas and Atlantic City; and
WHEREAS, large scale casino operations cannibalize non-gambling businesses and
have caused the shuttering of forty percent of all restaurants and one-third of all retail
businesses in Atlantic City; and
WHEREAS, our community will bear the severe and painful economic and social costs
that always accompany expansive gambling, including the misery of individuals and families
touched by problem gambling as they are at higher risk of divorce, bankruptcy, child abuse,
domestic violence, crime and suicide; and
WHEREAS, expanded gambling promotes corruption of the governmental process as
immensely wealthy gambling companies from all over the world seek to receive benefits from
state governmental entities that regulate their existence and profits; and
WHEREAS, if gambling interests are allowed to obtain major casino expansion, full
scale casino and gambling operations will become commonplace throughout our community
and state; and
WHEREAS, the false promises of increased revenue and jobs, like the broken promises
that accompanied the lottery and other gambling expansions are intended to convince Floridians
to make a fool's gamble with their future; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach desires to continue to be a number one destination
for tourism and local growth to the economy by supporting independent hotels, restaurants and
entertainment, without the overwhelming introduction of gambling; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan, through the land use element shall reflect that
gambling is a prohibited use within the City of Miami Beach; and
Page 5 of 16
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach rejects any expansion of gambling into the City of

development regulations; and
