RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution,
authorizing an award and participation agreement under the Commercial Lease Subsidy Program
("Program")to The Charly's Group, Inc. (d/b/a Charly's), located at 345 Lincoln Road ("Property").
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Initiated by sponsor Vice Mayor Alex Fernandez, and authorized by the Mayor and City
Commission, the Commercial Lease Subsidy Program ("Program") is a reimbursement-based
financial incentive designed to invigorate the commercial environment within the Art Deco Cultural
District (ADCD). The Program's primary objectives are to support arts and cultural businesses,
reduce commercial vacancies, and/or phase out non-conforming businesses. The Program
leverages existing zoning regulations for the Art Deco/MiMo Commercial Character Overlay
District ("Overlay District")to attract appealing business activities that align with the City's cultural
brand and community values.
Through this Program, eligible participants may receive reimbursement for:
1. Annual Business Tax Receipt (BTR)fees, and
2. Leasing or mortgage expenses up to a maximum of$60,000 over three (3) years.
Eligible leasing expenses include: (i)rent or mortgage payments, (ii)insurance, and (iii)real estate
taxes. Reimbursement is contingent upon annual budgetary appropriation and continued
compliance with Program requirements.
The Program's geographic focus—the Overlay District—includes properties bounded by Ocean
Drive to the east, Fifth Street to the south, Washington Avenue to the west, and 23rd Street to the
north. The Program specifically targets (i) vacant storefronts, (ii) new-to-market businesses
focused on arts and culture, and (iii) legal non-conforming businesses, defined as businesses
with valid BTRs whose operations were lawful before being reclassified as non-permitted under
Ordinance 2017-4137. Examples include check-cashing stores, pawn shops, souvenir and t-shirt
shops, and tobacco and vape dealers.
Page 313 of 1993
The Program aims to reimagine the commercial character of the Overlay District by prioritizing
businesses that create immersive, shareable experiences, fostering customer engagement
through artisanal, experiential, and activity-based concepts.
Program applications are reviewed by City staff, and selected candidates are recommended to
the City Commission. Reimbursements are issued after Program participants submit records of
eligible expense payments. Additional information, including the Program application, is available
via mbbiz.dosmartorq.
ANALYSIS
Applicant Details:
• Applicant: The Charlys Group, Inc. d/b/a Charly's (Tenant)
• Applicant Representative: Charles Jung, Owner
• Property Location: 345 Lincoln Road
• Landlord: The Manhattan House, Inc.
• Business Activity: Made-to-order churros, waffles, ice cream, and non-alcoholic
beverages
• Website: www.thecharlvs.com
The Applicant signed a lease for the Property on April 9, 2024, but the business has not yet
opened, as interior remodeling is still underway to prepare the approximately 1,225 sq. ft. space
for its intended food service use (e.g., new commercial exhaust system, new grease interceptor,
life safety upgrades, kitchen equipment, etc.). The Applicant has invested significantly in permits
and build-out, with an emphasis on creating a visually engaging storefront. As a temporary
enhancement, the Applicant voluntarily participated in the City's Vacant Storefront Cover
Program, installing an artistic wrap in July 2024.
The previous tenant at this location, Alter Native Retail d/b/a CBD Boutique, held a BTR for CBD,
skincare, and pet products retail. On September 2, 2022, following an undercover investigation
by the Miami Beach Police Department confirming illegal narcotics activity, the City Manager
revoked the previous tenant's BTR and Certificate of Use. This location, which sits at a high-traffic
intersection (Lincoln Road and Washington Avenue) near a County public transit hub popular with
tourists and the City's workforce, has remained vacant since the license revocation in 2022. The
Applicant's future business operation is compatible with its immediately adjacent neighbor who
shares the same landlord, and is also a fast-casual restaurant, Raising Canes.
The Applicant's participation in the Program would activate a high-visibility storefront that had
previously housed a non-conforming use detrimental to public safety. The proposed business
aligns well with the tourism and pedestrian-friendly commercial corridor along Lincoln Road.
Evaluation of Applicant
Through multiple meetings, City staff have assessed the Applicant as a motivated and capable
small business entrepreneur. The Applicant's business plan aligns with the Program's goals by
reactivating an idle storefront with a family-oriented, tourist-friendly concept that will contribute
positively to the local commercial landscape.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
The Program's fiscal impact to the City is capped at $20,000 annually for up to three (3) years,
contingent upon funding appropriations in each year's budget. Funding for the Program has been
secured in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget.

If applicable, the Business Impact Estimate (BIE) was published on:

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Funding for the Commercial Lease Subsidy Program is included in the City's Fiscal Year 2024-
2025 budget, with the total financial commitment for The Charlys Group, Inc. capped at $20,000
annually, for up to three (3) years, depending on continued appropriations. This allocation will
support the reimbursement of eligible leasing expenses, as outlined in the Program guidelines, to
promote business growth and economic activation within the Art Deco Cultural District.
In exchange for this financial support,the City anticipates a measurable positive economic impact,
as the opening of Charly's will contribute to increased foot traffic, support the local workforce, and
foster a more family-friendly and culturally vibrant commercial corridor. This investment is
expected to yield long-term benefits by enhancing the City's reputation as a destination for both
residents and visitors seeking quality, culturally aligned businesses on Lincoln Road.
CONCLUSION
The Commercial Lease Subsidy Program reflects the City's commitment to revitalizing the Art
Deco Cultural District by fostering an environment that attracts residents, business owners, and
visitors while promoting arts, culture, and family-friendly experiences.
The Applicant's planned restaurant will engage family-oriented tourists and residents alike,
activating a vacant space previously occupied by a nonconforming business that conflicted with
the district's character. Approving this application will further the City's objective of creating a
vibrant, safe, and culturally rich environment.

We are thrilled to apply for the Commercial Lease Subsidy Program as we prepare to
open our first location on Lincoln Road. This opportunity is particularly meaningful to
me, as I have fond memories of visiting this iconic street over the years, and it is
incredibly exciting to now join its vibrant business community. We are taking over a
unit that previously operated as a nonconforming business and will introduce a new
concept focused on bringing friends and families together in a way that enriches the
community. Our tagline, "Fall in Love Again," reflects our values to inspire a love for not
only our desserts but for the thincs that matter in life—community, family and
friendship. Thank you for your consideration.
