A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS (THE COUNTY) TO EXEMPT THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH FROM ALL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND MINIMUM FLOOR
AREA RATIO REQUIREMENTS IN THE COUNTY'S RAPID TRANSIT ZONE
AND SMART CORRIDOR SUBZONE, AS SET FORTH IN CHAPTER 33C OF
THE COUNTY CODE, TO AVOID POTENTIAL CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE
COUNTY CODE AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY'S LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND CITY CHARTER, ELIMINATE ANY
UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE COUNTY'S PROPOSED BEACH CORRIDOR/BAYLINK PROJECT
(THE BAYLINK PROJECT), AND THEREBY ALLOW THE CITY COMMISSION
AND THE CITY'S RESIDENTS TO CONSIDER THE MERITS OF THE BAYLINK
PROJECT AS A POTENTIAL MASS TRANSIT OPTION, WITHOUT REGARD
TO DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach ("City") consists of densely populated coastal barrier
islands; and
WHEREAS, since 2001, the City Charter has mandated that voter referendum approval
is required prior to,approving any increase to the zoned floor area ratio of any property; and
WHEREAS, at the February 1, 2023 City Commission meeting, County Commissioner
Eileen Higgins and Miami -Dade County ("County") staff presented an update on the proposed
Beach Corridor/Baylink Project, and the County's plans to issue a new competitive solicitation for
the Baylink Project; and
WHEREAS, if approved, the Baylink Project would have potential development
implications for the City pursuant to Chapter 33C of the County Code, which includes, among
other requirements, certain minimum development and floor area ratio standards for properties
located near existing and planned transit corridors and designated urban centers, in order to
incentivize the County's policy goal of achieving transit -oriented development; and
WHEREAS, although Chapter 33C of the County Code provides the County with the ability
to determine that the minimum floor area ratio requirements are incompatible with historic districts
or certain residential neighborhoods, the County Code does not expressly exempt the City or
provide certainty with respect to the potential application of the County Code to properties located
near the proposed Baylink Project; and
WHEREAS, to the extent the County Code implicates issues relating to development and
municipal home rule authority, such questions only serve to distract attention from the merits of
the proposed Baylink Project as a stand-alone mass transit option; and
WHEREAS, accordingly, the Mayor and City Commission urge the Miami -Dade County
Board of County Commissioners to expressly exempt the City of Miami Beach from the
development standards and minimum floor area ratio requirements of Chapter 33C of the County
Code, in order to allow the City Commission and the City's residents to consider the merits of the
Baylink Project, without regard to development concerns.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby urge the
Miami -Dade County Board of County Commissioners (the County) to exempt the City of Miami
Beach from all development standards and minimum floor area ratio requirements in the County's
Rapid Transit Zone and Smart Corridor Subzone, as set forth in Chapter 33C of the County Code,
to avoid potential conflicts between the County Code and the requirements of the City's Land
Development Regulations and City Charter, eliminate any uncertainty relating to the development
impacts associated with the County's proposed Beach Corridor/Baylink Project (the Project), and
allow the City Commission and the City's residents to consider the merits of the County's
proposed Project as a potential mass transit option, without regard to development concerns.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 11 day ofe 2023.
