SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO ZONING ORDINANCE 89-2665 PLANNING AND ZONING
FEE STRUCTURE CHANGES - SETTING OF PUBLIC HEARING
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Administration recommends that the City Commission set a public hearing for first
reading of the attached Ordinance for October 8, 1992 which would amend Zoning Ordinance
89-2665 as it relates to certain fees imposed for planning and zoning services in the City of
Miami Beach. The second public hearing will be October 21, 1992. The Planning Board, at its
meeting of July 28, 1992, recommended approval of this Ordinance, 6-0. The Finance
Committee of the Commission also reviewed this matter at its August 11, 1992 meeting.
BACKGROUND:
On a regular basis, the City monitors the fees it collects for planning and zoning services that
are provided to the community. Upon the most recent review, it was determined that a re-
structuring of these fees is necessary,not only ;ring revenues more in line with departmental
costs, but to make the fees commensurate with the services being provided. A new service
charge is also being proposed for the purpose of defraying the cost of reviewing an application
for a State of Florida alcoholic beverage license.
The fees being requested are reflected in the City's Proposed Budget for FY92/93. The revised
and new fees proposed in the Ordinance for consideration would generate an additional$17,650
during the fiscal year commencing October 1, 1992.
ANALYSIS:
The Planning and Zoning staff has based its recommendations for fee changes on the attached
tables. Table I - The Planning and Zoning Review Fee Comparison Chart - identifies fees
charged by Coral Gables,Miami,South Miami,and North Miami Beach. For some planning and
zoning review functions,Miami Beach charges less than neighboring municipalities; in others,
the charge is greater.
In addition, Table II details the estimated unit costs for work program tasks identified to be
undertaken by the Department. For example, we estimate that it costs the City an average
$994.54 to process each variance case, and the average fee received is $267. There is an even
greater discrepancy in the area of planning reviews(zoning amendments,conditional uses,etc.),
where the estimated average Department cost is$2,251.18,and the average fee received is$500.
For this reason, the Department is proposing a somewhat larger fee increase for the Planning
Board (30%) than for the Zoning Board of Adjustment (20%).
With regard to the fees proposed for Zoning Compliance Letters at$75 per letter(now $50)and
the procedure for the Retention of Illegally Subdivided Units, Undersized Units or Illegally
Installed Kitchens at $250 + $50/unit in violation (now $200 + $35/unit), the Administration
has determined that such increases will close, but not eliminate, the gap between revenues and
the actual costs of undertaking these functions. The new service charge for the review of
applications to the State of Florida for an alcoholic beverage license is seen as quite reasonable
given the actual costs incurred in the review process done by staff.

Table III summarizes the fee changes proposed and a breakdown of the additional revenues
expected to be generated for FY 92/93.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the foregoing, the Administration has concluded that the proposed changes to fees
charged for planning and zoning services are reasonable and will help to further offset the
actual costs incurred by the City to provide these services. The Planning Board has drawn a
similar conclusion, recommending unanimous approval 6-0,of the proposed amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance.
