WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Miami Beach has determined that artistic street performances and limited street vending of art enhance the character of the City and enliven public spaces; and WHEREAS, the City Commission seeks to encourage such performances and vending to the extent that they do not interfere with the reasonable expectations of residents to the enjoyment of peace and quiet in their homes, the ability of businesses to conduct their business and serve their patrons uninterrupted, and the public's use ofthe City's rights.of.way; and WHEREAS, the City Commission has determined that its authorization of street performances and street vending of art, with reasonable time, place and manner restrictions, would be consistent with the constitutional requirements of the First Amendment if this artistic expression is deemed protected under the First Amendment, and accordingly limits its authorization for street performances and street vending to artists and other similar persons engaged in such activity; and WHEREAS, the City Commission has determined that to ensure compatibility of street performances and street vending with the often high volumes of pedestrian traffic and other activity on the sidewalks and rights-of.way in the City, it is appropriate to designate specific locations at which such activities should occur; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that performers and vendors, who are soliciting or obtaining contributions or payment for their performances or sales, are subject to greater risk after sundown of attack due to the cash or wares they are carrying, and it increases the risk to the general public, and to law enforcement and code compliance personnel whose job it is to enforce and protect the activities of street performers and art vendors, and whereas the areas to be designated for street performer and art vendor permits are heavily congested and poorly lighted, creating visibility problems for the performers, vendors and pedestrians, therefore, the City Commission restricts the allowable hours for street performers and art vending to daylight hours, as specified herein.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Approve the Ordinance on second reading after the public hearing. ANALYSIS Artistic street performance can be a form of cultural enrichment in urban areas. In cities from Paris to San Francisco, municipal governments have crafted ordinances that regulate this activity by defining who is a street performer, providing for a simple permit process, and designating acceptable locations, hours of operation and rules of conduct. This ordinance will not inhibit free expression, but will positively contribute to the City's quality oflife by addressing street order and maintenance issues. Street vending of art is also an expressive activity that will contribute to the City's quality of life. Protected street performances and art vending are combined into one ordinance to efficiently and effectively manage both activities at appropriate times, places and manners, consistent with constitutional requirements. The Administration and City Attorney's Office reviewed street performer and street vending ordinances and cases from the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts; Faneuil Hall, Boston; Baltimore, Maryland; San Francisco, California; New Orleans' French Quarter, and Key West, Florida. The Ordinance as proposed is an amalgamation of, or consistent with, those precedents. Street performers and street vendors were discussed by the Planning Board at a workshop on April AGENDA ITEM Rs-B l-l~ -QL DATE Commission Memorandum - Street Performers and Art Vendors July 18, 2001 Page 2 24,2001, and the Planning Board recommended that an ordinance be drafted and brought to the Commission for consideration. The Planning Board considered the draft ordinance at its meeting of May 29, 2001. The City Commission directed that an ordinance be brought for its consideration on first reading at the June 27, 2001 meeting. At all of these meetings residents and business representatives from the Lincoln Road Mall area presented testimony on the problems with unregulated performances and vending in their area. The City Attorney's Office has obtained input from many concerned persons and jurisdictions and drafted an ordinance considering the many interests and variations on the solutions to these problems from around the country, and it is now presented for Second Reading. This Ordinance regulates the use of the public right-of-way by artistic street performers and art vendors. In so doing, it will allow specific kinds of street vending as artistic freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment (City zoning prohibits the sale of merchandise outside any business premises). It is important to note that the street performers who promote their artistry should not be confused with for-profit vendors who seek to expand their selling area by promoting their products on the City's right.of-way. Street vendors are not permitted in the City of Miami Beach. Vendors that resell merchandise as peddlers, use live animals, or sell or prepare food, are not to be considered street performers or art vendors, and the City Code provides for misdemeanor citations and confiscation of merchandise (City Code 70.4 & 70-6). Conversely, by creating a new Street Performer and Art Vendor Ordinance, artistic performance on the City's right-of-way is safeguarded in specific locations as provided in the ordinance. Street performers and art vendors are provided freedom of expression and the ability to receive contributions for their performances and sale of their art. The City of Miami Beach will benefit from passage of this Ordinance as it will distinguish the illegal activity of for-profit street vendors from that of street performers and protected art vendors, and clarify the City's enforcement procedures. This clarification has been encouraged by the City's Police Department, so that they may properly cite street peddlers that continue to plague our busiest commercial, and highly regarded, historically protected, tourist destinations. As proposed, the Ordinance will regulate the time, manner and place where street performances and protected vending will be permissible. The content of the performance or the protected vending will not be regulated. The locations and times identified in the ordinance reflect the community's desire to balance traditional business needs with the constitutionally supported rights of the artistic street performers and vendors. At the Commission's direction on first reading, representatives of the Administration and the Lincoln Road Marketing Association spoke with owners of businesses and properties in the vicinity of areas Commission Memorandum - Street Performers and Art Vendors July 18, 2001 Page 3 designated for street performers or vendors on Lincoln Road. On July 9, 200 I, representatives from the Administration, including from Code Compliance and the Police Department, and the City Attorney's Office, met with business representatives surrounding the proposed locations on Lincoln Road. Some concerns about the locations were expressed, and others were observed independently by the City representatives. The results of these meetings and the tour were the elimination of two locations, the adjustment of four locations, and the addition of one new location, on Lincoln Road. Contact with a representative of the Ocean Drive Association was also made, with the result being agreement with the proposed locations on Ocean Drive. Following further review by the Administration and the City Attorney's Office, some additional modifications were made to the ordinance for second reading: (1) section 18.901 was amended to only require a permit for street performances when the performance is "from a fixed location, or to solicit donations or contributions"; (2) the phrase "in the opinion of the police officer" was removed from section 18-904(4) concerning when it is necessary to suspend a performance; and (3) the phrase "in the sale and distribution of artistic creations" was removed from 18-905, concerning when tables, carts, displays, signs and inventory must be removed; (4) the space for vending and performances was increased to 25 square feet from 15 square feet, and the size of tables for vending was increased to 15 square feet from eight square feet; and (5) as described above, certain of the locations on Lincoln Road were adjusted to address neighbor and other concerns. The City Commission should approve the Street Performer Ordinance on second reading after the public hearing.
