RECOMMENDATION
The Mayor and Commission approved the attached ordinance on first reading on May 17, 2017.
The Administration recommends the Mayor and Commission approve the attached Ordinance
at Second Reading Public Hearing on June 7, 2017.
Background
At the April 26, 2017, the Mayor and Commission discussed Item No. R9T, entitled, "Discuss
potential film incentives for Miami Beach to support the film and television industry on a local level".
The Administration presented an overview of the state of the film and print industry in Miami Beach.
As was reported, Miami Beach has historically been a major national hub for film and print production
for the better part of five decades, hosting major celebrities and box office and ratings sensations,
including Miami Vice, Burn Notice, Magic City, Bird Cage, Bad Boys 1 & 2, Iron Man 3 and the
recent Oscar winner Moonlight, and generating a significant revenue stream for the City. Miami
Beach had seen steady growth in these fields since creating a film office in the 1990's, with a
substantial boost of 83% in permits issued and 403% in production dollars spent in Miami Beach
immediately following passage and implementation of the State of Florida's Film and Entertainment
Incentive Program in July, 2010.
As we know, this incentive program was not supported by the current Governor or Legislature in
recent sessions. Additional tax credit requests by the industry have been denied and the program
was sunset altogether as of July, 2016. Since the program effectively ran out of available tax credits
in 2013, the film and print permit figures collected by the City's Film and Print office have since seen
a decline of 44% in dollars spent and 36% in hotel room nights used in Miami Beach alone. Those

numbers are expected to decline further.
ANALYSIS
The City currently has some incentives built into the codified guidelines that benefit the industry;
however, the following parking related incentives were recommended and endorsed by the City
Commission:
• Eliminate the signed consent requirement for reservation of metered parking. A
notification form with all details could supplant this use. Note: this is the practice in New York
City and Los Angeles, CA.
• Re-instate the PCRV (Production Company Recreational Vehicle) parking permit.
Recreational vehicles and the like displaying a valid city issued production/film permit would
be honored at available metered parking and at taxi stands during non-operational hours.
The PCRV parking permit would be open to local and national productions and service
companies, and would require monthly renewal, at a rate of $70.00, plus sales tax. Each
PCRV pass must be prominently displayed in the front windshield of the vehicle, along
with a copy of the active permit for which it is being employed for inspection. Failure to
display the PCRV and the active permit may result in Parking and Film Permit violation.
• Crew parking at municipal parking garages where/when capacity permits at a reduced
daily flat parking rate. Typically, utilization at municipal garages during
events/weekends/nights is high; however, there are opportunities to accommodate some level
of crew parking at municipal garages during lower demand periods. As an example, the
Miami Beach Convention Center Garage, when completed, could serve as crew parking
when the Convention Center is either dark or when parking demand permits. Other municipal
garages have fluctuations that may also serve this purpose.A daily flat rate of$10 per vehicle
equating to a 50% discount off of the maximum daily rate of $20 at most garages are
consistent with the existing film/production daily parking space rental fee of$10.
The attached ordinance reflects the aforementioned amendments necessary to codify and enact
these incentives.
CONCLUSION
The Mayor and Commission approved the attached ordinance on first reading on May 17,
2017. The Administration recommends the Mayor and Commission approve the attached
Ordinance at Second Reading Public Hearing on June 7, 2017.
