2014-28539 Resolution RESOLUTION NO. 7014-28539 A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA WELCOMING MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER ("MLS") TO SOUTH FLORIDA AND URGING THAT AN MLS STADIUM NOT BE LOCATED AT THE PORT OF MIAMI. WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach welcomes Major League Soccer to South Florida as it will provide many significant economic benefits to the region as a whole; and WHEREAS, the Port of Miami is an inappropriate location for a proposed 35,000 seat MLS stadium due to the detrimental traffic impact that such a venue will have on the MacArthur Causeway—one of the three major roadways for travel to Miami Beach by residents and visitors; and WHEREAS, not only will the MacArthur Causeway be overburdened by an MLS stadium at the Port of Miami, but the addition of tens of thousands of MLS spectators to the area will result in heightened traffic and congestion on City of Miami Beach roadways and the soon-to-be completed Port of Miami tunnel; and WHEREAS, the Port of Miami is a major economic engine for international trade and the proposed MLS stadium will have a negative fiscal impact on the Port's revenue projections when, currently, the Port is seeking to borrow an additional $385 million to fund the Port tunnel and other project improvements; and WHEREAS, other more appropriate and less controversial sites exist in Miami-Dade County for the location of an MLS stadium. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA that Major League Soccer is hereby welcomed to South Florida by the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach and, for the reasons set forth above, it is urged that an MLS stadium not be located at the Port of Miami.
