COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
F Nn Ordinance Of The Mayor And City Commission Of The City Of Miami Beach, Florida Amending Chapter 118,
Article II,"Boards,"to clarify qualifications and categories of land use board members.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Maintain strong growth management policies.
Supporting Data(Surveys, Environmental Scan,etc.): While nearly half,47.6%,suggested the effort put
forth by the City to regulate development is"about the right amount,"nearly one-third, 29.6%, indicated"too little"
effort is being put forth by the City in this area.
Issue:
Should the City Commission consider amending the Land Development Regulations of the City Code to clarify the
qualifications and categories of land use board members
Item Summa /Recommendation:
Second Reading Public Hearing
The land use boards are tasked with the regulation of land development,thus the composition requirements are
very specific to include individuals who maintain specialized positions,knowledge,experience and/or expertise
and a number of these members are required to be registered professionals. The proposed ordinance clarifies
the membership the categories. The LUDC also expressed a desire to open up the categories to provide more
flexibility, broadening the architect position to permit licensure in any state. Where a land use board has only
one architect requirement,staff believes that it is important that an architect registered in the State of Florida be
required in order for that person be knowledgeable in local current code requirements and architectural and
design trends. However,where a board has a requirement for several architect positions, such as the Design
Review Board and the Historic Preservation Board,one of the architects that is registered in the United States
may qualify. At the request of the Committee,the ordinance also introduces a secondary category for attorneys
that are licensed in other states. The City Commission approved the proposed ordinance on first reading;
however, it was referred back to the LUDC between first and second reading to review the categories to make
sure the requirements for each member category are clear. The LUDC reviewed the proposed ordinance at its
June 13, 2012 meeting, amending the Historic Preservation Board section by making a lawyer position to be
licensed in the United States, and adding the category of landscape architect to the list of architectural and
design professionals in the Planning Board. The Board of Adjustment and membership categories reside in the
City Code, Part 1 —Charter and Related Special Acts. Therefore, licensing requirement cannot be changed
without a referendum vote that would change the Charter language. After further review by the LUDC at-its
June 13,2012 meeting,the request was made that staff investigate the ability to amend the BOA by ordinance
to clarify Financial Consultant for second reading. The Administration and City Attorney's office have reviewed
the new language under the Board of Adjustment section of the ordinance which only states who could be a
representative member in the field of financial consultation and believe that these are only clarifications of the
position and not new member categories; and therefore,would not affect the City Charter.
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance,as amended by the
Land Use and Development Committee at its June 13, 2012 meeting.
Advisory Board Recommendation:
At the Planning Board meeting of October 24, 2011, after discussion of certain amendments to the ordinance a
motion was made to recommend adoption of the ordinance as amended;however,with a vote of 3-2,the motion did
not pass. At the time,there were two members absent and two members voted against the motion. Because of the
outcome of the vote,the ordinance was taken back to the Land Use and Development Committee for guidance.

there may not be a measurable impact on the City's budget by enacting the proposed ordinance.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance, as
amended by the Land Use and Development Committee at its June 13, 2012 meeting.
BACKGROUND
• January 28, 2009: The City Commission referred two items to LUDC
- Voting procedures for Land Use Board.
- Clarification of categories for membership on the Land Use Boards.
• April 6, 2009: The LUDC discussed the voting procedures for the City Commission
appointments to the Land Use Boards. The Administration and the Legal Department
were instructed to prepare an ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the Code, requiring
that when the City Commission votes to fill a position by category, they may only
vote on one category at a time.
- Ordinance No. 2009-3642, adopted 7-15-09, amended Chapter 2, Administration,
Article III, Agencies Boards and Committees, Division 1.
The LUDC did not reach the item dealing with the clarification of the Land Use Board
categories and continued this issue to the May meeting.
Commission Memorandum

July 18, 2012 Page 2 of 5
• May 4, 2009: The LUDC referred to the Planning Board an ordinance that clarifies
some of the membership categories of the Land Development Review Boards. The
Committee reviewed the membership requirements of the Planning Board, Design
Review Board, Historic Preservation Board and the Board of Adjustment. The motion
included, among other changes, the creation of two citizen-at-large categories for the
Planning Board, clarification of the registered architect and several other refinements
to the various categories.
• June 6, 2011: The LUDC discussed this ordinance again and gave the
Administration direction on several refinements to the ordinance. Specifically, the
Committee wanted to explore more flexibility on the licensing requirements for some
of the categories. Ultimately, this item was deferred to the next meeting to make
changes to the licensing requirements.
• July 20, 2011: The LUDC expressed the desire to open up the categories to provide
more flexibility, broadening the architect position to permit licensure in any state.
• September 14, 2011: (Item C4G), the City Commission referred this proposed
ordinance to the Planning Board for its review and recommendation.
• October 24, 2011: The Planning Board made a motion not to recommend approval;
however the vote was 3-2, thus motion did not pass; two members were absent and
two member voted against the motion (4 votes are required for approval of a
recommendation).
• February 15, 2012: The LUDC discussed the Planning Board proceedings and by a
3-0 vote decided to move the item to the full City Commission.
• April 11, 2012: The City Commission approved the ordinance on first reading and
requested that it be referred to the LUDC to ensure that the category requirements
are clear.
• June 13, 2012: The LUDC again reviewed the ordinance and proposed that a
category of landscape architect be added to the Planning Board list and that the
lawyer in the Historic Preservation Board be licensed in the United States. The
LUDC also requested a change that clarifies the ability to amend the Board of
Adjustment by ordinance to clarify Financial Consultant.
ANALYSIS
The land use boards are tasked with the regulation of land development, thus the
composition requirements are very specific to include individuals who maintain
specialized positions, knowledge, experience and/or expertise and a number of these
members are required to be registered professionals. In addition, Chapter 118 of the
City Code specifically describes rights to serve on these boards, which require members
to be either residents of the City, or have their principal business interest within the City.
The City Commission may waive the residency requirements by a 5/7ths vote in the
event a person not meeting these requirements is available to serve on the board and is
exceptionally qualified by training and experience.
The proposed ordinance clarifies the membership categories in Land Use Boards. For
instance, for the Planning Board, the category of registered architect would be defined
Commission Memorandum
Board Member Qualifications
July 18, 2012 Page 3 of 5
as an architect registered in the state of Florida, the professional architectural designer
or professional urban planner would be described as a professional practicing in the
fields of architectural or urban design or professional urban planning; the developer
category is described as a person who has experience in developing real property;. and
the attorney position is clarified as licensed to practice law in the state of Florida. In
addition, the Planning Board membership would categorize three persons as citizens at
large or engaged in general business. The membership categories for the Design
Review and the Historic Preservation Boards follow similar descriptions. In the case of
the Planning Board, the ordinance also clarifies that three of the seven members may be
citizens at large or engaged in general business in the City.
The LUDC expressed a desire to open up the categories to provide more flexibility,
broadening the architect position to permit licensure in any state. Where a land use
board has only one architect requirement, staff believes that it is important that an
architect registered in the State of Florida be required in order for that person be
knowledgeable in local current code requirements and architectural and design trends.
However, where a board has a requirement for several architect positions, such as the
Design Review Board and the Historic Preservation Board, one of the architects that is
registered in the United States may qualify. In fact, such a person may be able to offer
perspectives that are different from the local views and trends.
At the request of the Committee, the ordinance also introduces a secondary category for
attorneys that are licensed in other states. This would still keep in place the requirement
that any Board that has a requirement to have an attorney, that attorney should be
licensed in the State of Florida, but creates a second attorney position with broader
licensing requirements. Staff has introduced this concept in two of the Development
Boards.
The City Commission approved the proposed ordinance on first reading; however, it was
referred back to the LUDC between first and second reading to review the categories to
make sure the requirements for each member category are clear. The LUDC reviewed
the proposed ordinance at its June 13, 2012 meeting, amending the Historic
Preservation Board section by making a lawyer position to be licensed in the United
States, and adding the category of landscape architect to the list of architectural and
design professionals in the Planning Board.
Staff explored clarifying the membership for the Board of Adjustment. In particular the
financial consultation category, however, the Board of Adjustment and membership
categories reside in the City Code, Part 1 — Charter and Related Special Acts. Initially
the Administration was under the impression that because the licensing requirement is
within the Charter, it could not be amended without a referendum vote that would
change the Charter language. At the direction of LUDC (see below) only the clarification
that members representing the professional categories must be licensed in the State of
Florida has been included in the proposed ordinance.
After further review by the LUDC at its June 13, 2012 meeting, the request was made
that staff investigate the ability to amend the BOA by ordinance to clarify Financial
Consultant for second reading. The Administration and City Attorney's office have
reviewed the new language under the Board of Adjustment section of the ordinance
which only states who could be a representative member in the field of financial
consultation and believe that these are only clarifications of the position and not new
member categories; and therefore, would not affect the City Charter.

PLANNING BOARD ACTION
At the Planning Board meeting of October 24, 2011, a motion was made to not recommend
adoption of the ordinance as proposed. Members of the Board discussed the categories and
proposed certain changes, such as eliminating certain membership categories that are
recommended by non-profit organizations, with staff expressing displeasure and total
opposition to such a proposal. Finally a motion was made for a recommendation of the
ordinance as amended. However, with a vote of 3-2, the motion did not pass. At the time,
there were two members absent and two members voted against the motion. Because of the
outcome of the vote, the ordinance was taken back to the Land Use and Development
Committee for guidance.
LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
At the February 15, 2012 meeting, Richard Lorber introduced the item and explained
that it clarified and broadened the categories and qualifications of the members of the
four Land Use Boards. Henry Stolar spoke. Gary Appel, Charlie Urstadt and Nancy
Liebman spoke regarding the Miami Design Preservation League role on the Historic
Preservation Board.
The Committee went through each of the four Boards and discussed minor changes, as
follows: Historic Preservation Board: broaden Attorney licensed in Florida to licensed in
the U.S.; Planning Board: no change; Design Review Board: add to category IV "or
resident with interest or background in design issues; and Board of Adjustment: delete
proposed change defining Financial Consultant, keep attorney licensed in the State of
Florida to conform with the City Charter.
At the April 11, 2012 meeting, the City Commission approved the ordinance on first
reading and requested that it be referred to the LUDC to ensure that the category
requirements are clear.
The LUDC June 13, 2012 again reviewed the ordinance and proposed that a category of
landscape architect be added to the Planning Board list and that the lawyer in the
Historic Preservation Board be licensed in the United States. The LUDC also requested
that staff clarifies the ability to amend the Board of Adjustment by ordinance to clarify
Financial Consultant.
CITY COMMISSION ACTION
At the April 11, 2012 meeting the City Commission approved the ordinance on first
reading and referred to the LUDC between first and second reading at the request of
Commissioner Weithorn to review the categories to make sure that the category
requirements are clear. The amendments requested by the LUDC have been
incorporated into the proposed ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
In accordance with Charter section 5.02, which requires that the "City of Miami Beach
shall consider the long-term economic impact (at least 5 years) of proposed legislative
actions," this shall confirm that the City Administration evaluated the long-term economic
impact (at least 5 years) of this proposed legislative action, and determined that there
may not be a measurable impact on the City's budget by enacting the proposed
ordinance.

CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance, as
amended by the Land Use and Development Committee at its June 13, 2012 meeting.

does not change the actual list of permitted, conditional or prohibited uses in a zoning
category, the proposed ordinance may be read by title or in full on at least two separate days
and shall, at least ten days prior to adoption, be noticed once in a newspaper of general
circulation in the city. The notice of proposed enactment shall state the date, time and place
of the meeting; the title or titles of proposed ordinances; and the place or places within the
city where such proposed ordinances may be inspected by the public.
Immediately following the public hearing at the second reading, the city commission may
adopt the ordinance. An affirmative vote of five-sevenths of all members of the city
commission shall be necessary in order to enact any amendment to these land development
regulations.
