Paz, Acting City Attorney DATE: March 17, 2021 SUBJECT: Appellate Hearing; City Commission File No. 2020-001 Beach Legal Properties, Inc. v. the City of Miami Beach Design Review Board Lower Tribunal File No: DRB File No. 19-0398 Address: 301-317 71'f Street, Miami Beach, FL 33141 1. Background on Design Review Board application This matter relates to an appeal of a Design Review Board ("DRB") decision relating to the concrete pylon structure, an architectural postwar modem spire(the "Pylon"), located at 301-317 71st Street(the"Property"). Beach Legal Properties, Inc. ("Petitioner"), which is the owner of the Property, sought DRB approval to remove the Pylon. Following a public hearing on July 7, 2020, the DRB voted to deny, without prejudice, Petitioner's application to remove the Pylon, until such time that a replacement proposal for the Pylon is submitted for DRB review. Petitioner then filed this Appeal, alleging that the DRB failed to observe the essential requirements of law; the DRB's decision was not supported by competent substantial evidence; and the DRB failed to provide procedural due process. 2. Ex parte communications Given that the City Commission will be sitting in an appellate capacity on this matter, any ex parte communications by members of the City Commission regarding the Appeal must be disclosed, and City Commissioners are subject to cross-examination regarding any such communications. An ex parte communication is any communication conducted outside of the public hearing. Page 821 of 2284 Commission Memorandum March 17,2021 Page 2 of 2 While not prohibited under our Code, our office discourages members of the City Commission from engaging in ex parte communications. However, if you do engage in any ex parte communications relating to this Appeal, please send an email to Paul Saca at paulsaca©miamibeachfl.gov, including the name of the individual with whom you communicated.

Deliberation by City Commission There is no public hearing associated with this appeal. 4. Voting requirement and standard of review A five-sevenths (5/7) vote of the City Commission is required to reverse or modify the decision of the DRB. In order to reverse or modify, the Commission must first find that the DRB either (I) failed to provide procedural due process; (ii) failed to observe the essential requirements of law; and/or (iii) failed to base its decision upon competent substantial evidence. If the City Commission votes to reverse or modify the DRB's decision, the City Commission must, as part of its motion, clearly articulate which of the three criteria were not satisfied. 5.
