ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration is requesting that the Mayor and City Commission schedule a first
and only reading.. public hearing on September 15, 2010 to consider the proposed
designation of the Miami Beach Rod 8 Reel Club as an individual local historic site.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the
resolution.
BACKGROUND
On June 16, 2009, the Chairman of the Historic Preservation Board directed the
Planning Department to schedule a special meeting of the board for the purpose of
hearing and acting upon a request to consider the possible designation of the Miami
Beach Rod and Reel Club as a local historic site. Accordingly, the Planning Department
contacted all board members and scheduled a special meeting for June 29, 2009.
Further, Planning staff prepared a Preliminary Evaluation and Recommendation Report
for submission to the board relative to this possible designation.
Pursuant to Section 118-591(e) of the City Code, the Historic Preservation Board, may,
by motion of the Board, instruct the planning department to prepare a designation report
and implement interim procedures for demolition permits. The planning director, or
designee, may prepare and submit to the historic preservation board an evaluation and
recommendation for designation at a meeting noticed in a newspaper of general
circulation at least five business days in advance of the hearing. The property owner

shall be notified in writing, by regular mail sent to the address of the owner on the Miami-
Dade County Property Appraiser's tax records, and postmarked at least five business
days in advance of the hearing. The city commission shall also then be notified.
On Sunday, June 21, 2009, the public advertisement for this special meeting appeared
in the Neighbors Section of the Miami Herald.
On June 22, 2009, an LTC was sent to the Mayor and Commissioners notifying them
that the Chairman of the Historic Preservation Board called a Special Meeting of the
Board to be held on Monday, June 29, 2009, at 6:00 PM for the Board to consider
directing staff to prepare a Designation Report for the Miami Beach Rod and Reel Club,
located at 218 South Hibiscus Drive, on Hibiscus Island.
On June 29, 2009, the Historic Preservation Board held a special meeting to review the
preliminary evaluation and recommendation report with recommendations prepared by
the Planning Department relative to the proposed designation of 218 (aka 208) S.
Hibiscus Drive as the Miami Beach Rod & Reel Club Historic Site. The Board approved
a motion (3-1-3 absent) to direct staff to prepare a designation report and schedule a
public hearing to consider the proposed historic designation.
Pursuant to Section 118-591 of the City Code, when the Historic Preservation Board
directs staff to prepare a designation report for a proposed new historic district or site,
the Mayor and City Commission shall be notified of the board's decision and the initial
boundaries proposed for designation. Within 60 days of the vote of the Historic
Preservation Board to direct the Planning Department to prepare a designation report,
the City Commission may, by afive-sevenths vote, deny or modify the proposed request
for designation, as well as establish specific timeframes for the completion of the
evaluation and recommendation and/or designation report. Within this 60 day'period the
City Commission may also, by afive-sevenths vote, deny or modify the proposed
designation boundaries. An LTC was issued on June 30, 2009, and no requests were
made to modify the proposed designation within the ensuing 60 day period or thereafter.
On February 3, 2010, an LTC was sent to the Mayor and Commissioners updating them
on the zoning issues associated with the non-conforming use of the Rod & Reel Club.
On May 11, 2010, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed the designation report and
unanimously approved a motion (7 to 0) to recommend approval of the designation of
the proposed Miami Beach Rod & Reel Club Historic Site.
The Planning Board is scheduled to review a Designation Report relative to the
proposed historic designation of the Miami Beach Rod 8~ Reel Club as a local historic
site on July 27, 2010.
DESIGNATION PROCESS
The designation report for a proposed historic district is required to be presented to the
Historic Preservation Board and the Planning Board at separate public hearings.
Following public input, the Historic Preservation Board votes on whether or not the
proposed historic district meets the criteria listed in the Land Development Regulations
of the City Code and transmits a recommendation on historic designation to the Planning
Board and City Commission. If the Historic Preservation Board votes against the
designation, no further action is required. If the Historic Preservation Board votes in
Commission Memorandum of July 14, 2010
Setting of Public Hearing -Historic Designation

Page 3 of 3
favor of designation, the Planning Board reviews the designation report and formulates
its own recommendation. The recommendations of both Boards, along with the
designation report, are presented to the City Commission. Because in this instance the
proposed ordinance involves an area less than ten (10) contiguous acres, the City
Commission must hold one public hearing on the designation. Upon conclusion of the
hearing, the City Commission can immediately adopt the ordinance with a 5/7 majority
vote.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed designation of the Miami Beach Rod 8< Reel Club Historic Site is
appropriate to protect the aesthetic, architectural, and historical importance of the City of
Miami Beach. The positive social and economic impact that preservation has had on the
revitalization of Miami Beach is well known. Local residents, as well as visitors from
around the world, are seeking the very special urban character of Miami Beach that the
Planning Department seeks to preserve. Further, alterations are permitted to historic
structures provided that the changes are found to be appropriate by the Historic
Preservation Board.
Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt
this resolution scheduling a first reading public hearing on September 15, 2010 to
consider the proposed designation of the Miami Beach Rod & Reel Club Historic Site.
