COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members f the City C mmission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: October 22, 2014 SECO D READING — PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: DEFINITION OF MOTION PICTUR THEATER
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CODE OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 114, "GENERAL
PROVISIONS," SECTION 114-1, "DEFINITIONS," BY ADDING A
DEFINITION OF MOTION PICTURE THEATRE; PROVIDING FOR
REPEALER; CODIFICATION; SEVERABILITY; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
On May 21, 2014 the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2014-3861, which
established criteria, standards and procedures for the sale of alcohol in motion picture
theaters. Such Ordinance, which was initiated at the request of Regal Cinemas, will
allow the sale of alcohol at the movie theater on Lincoln Road, and other theaters that
meet the minimum criteria of (i) 15,000 sq. ft., (ii) 300 permanent auditorium seats, and
(iii) located in Commercial High Intensity Districts (CD-3).
As, the City's Land Development Regulations do not currently define `motion picture
theaters', the City Commission also referred an Ordinance Amendment to the Planning
Board to create a definition for motion picture theaters.
ANALYSIS
The subject Ordinance proposes the following definition for motion picture theaters:
Motion Picture Theater means a building or part of a building used solely for the
purpose of showing movies, motion pictures and projections of events and .
performances conducted elsewhere, including permitted accessory uses, such as
eating and drinking concessions; and provided such theater, or any part thereof,
is not an adult entertainment establishment (section 142-1271), dance hall, nor
entertainment establishment (section 114-1).
Commission Memorandum
Ordinance—Definition of Motion Picture Theater
October 22, 2014 Page 2 of 2
The proposed definition cross-references Section 142-1277-1, Adult Entertainment, to
make it clear that any theaters that meet the definition for an adult establishment would
not meet the criteria for alcohol sales. The definition proposed herein also goes slightly
beyond the traditional, static `motion picture', which is a movie filmed elsewhere for later
viewing. Popular in large auditorium theaters are the projection of certain types of live
activities, such as concerts and sporting events.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On July 22, 2014, the Planning Board transmitted the proposed Ordinance to the City
Commission with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 5 to 0 (PB File No. 2196).
FISCAL IMPACT
In accordance with Charter Section 5.02, which requires that the "City of Miami Beach
shall consider the long term economic impact (at least 5 years) of proposed legislative
actions," this shall confirm that the City Administration evaluated the long term economic
impact (at least 5 years) of this proposed legislative action. The proposed Ordinance is
not expected to have any tangible fiscal impact.
UPDATE
The subject Ordinance was approved at First Reading on September 10, 2014.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
