COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 46-92 of the Code of Miami Beach to extend the
existing prohibition of expanded polystyrene products on beaches and in parks within the city to include city
marinas, piers, docks, and boat ramps.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Enhance the Environmental Sustainability of the Community.
Supporting Data: 2% of residential respondents indicated trash and litter is an area that the City needs to
improve. In the 2014 Community Satisfaction Survey, residential respondent and business owner
satisfaction with canal/waterway cleanliness dropped 4% and 2%from 2012, respectively.
Item Summary/Recommendation:
SECOND READING-PUBLIC HEARING
Miami Beach is a barrier island with approximately 70 miles of shoreline along numerous canals and
waterways. It is especially critical that the City limit pollutants from entering the environment due to its
proximity to the City's vast system of interconnected waterways and sensitive marine habitats. One
pollutant of particular concern is expanded polystyrene, a petroleum based by-product which constitutes a
large portion of the litter in the City's streets, public places, and waterways. Expanded polystyrene is a
particularly harmful pollutant because it is non-biodegradable and not readily recyclable. Furthermore, it
fragments into smaller pieces that easily enter and remain in the environment harming or killing marine life
and other wildlife that accidentally ingest it. Waterfront facilities including marinas, piers, docks, and boat
ramps provide the public with direct access to Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the City's waterways.
Keeping expanded polystyrene products out of publically owned and leased facilities can help reduce litter
nuisance because lightweight articles, such as expanded polystyrene products, are picked up and
dispensed by wind and rain. The proposed Ordinance will reduce the presence of this pollutant on the City's
waterfronts and waterways and enhance the City's environmental sustainability.
On July 23, 2014, the City Commission passed Ordinance No. 2014-3884 expanding the restrictions on the
sale a n d use of expanded polystyrene (commonly known as Styrofoam) p roducts, to reduce litter and
pollutants in the City's waterways and to enhance the environmental sustainability of the City. Ordinance
2014-3884 prohibits the following: (1) the carrying of expanded polystyrene products into City beaches and
parks; (2) the sale or use in public facilities and on public property of expanded polystyrene food service
articles by City contractors, vendors, lessees, concessionaires, operators of City facilities and properties,
and special event permittees; and (3) the placement of expanded polystyrene food service articles on the
right-of-way and the provision by sidewalk café permittees of expanded polystyrene food service articles to
sidewalk café patrons.
The proposed Ordinance amends Chapter 46 of the City Code by amending Section 46-92 to include the
definitions of "polystyrene" and of "expanded polystyrene". Additionally, the proposed Ordinance extends
the existing prohibition of expanded polystyrene products on beaches and in parks within the city to include
city marinas, piers, docks, and boat ramps because these facilities are in close proximity to bodies of water
and, therefore, litter at these locations can easily enter the marine environment. The proposed Ordinance
also amends Chapter 82 of the City Code by amending Section 82-7 to include the definition of
"polystyrene" and to expand the definition of"city facility"to include facilities leased to the City and marinas,
piers, docks or boat ramps owned, operated, leased, or managed by the City. In addition, the proposed
Ordinance amends section 82-7 to expand the definition of"city property" to include property leased to the
City. Moreover, the proposed Ordinance amends Section 82-366 to include the definitions of "expanded
polystyrene," "expanded polystyrene food service articles,"and "polystyrene".

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the Ordinance on Second
Reading.
BACKGROUND
Miami Beach is a barrier island with approximately 70 miles of shoreline along numerous canals and
waterways, including Indian Creek, Surprise Lake, Lake Pancoast as well as the Atlantic Ocean and
the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve. The waters surrounding the City support a wide variety of flora
and fauna, including threatened and endangered species like the West Indian manatee, the
American crocodile, Johnson's seagrass, and smalltoothed sawfish. These waters also act as
nurseries and habitat for migratory birds, including brown pelicans and ospreys, and for
commercially and recreationally important fish, such as snapper, sailfish, and mahi-mahi.
Furthermore, the City's beaches support shorebird species, including seagulls and royal terns,and
are a designated nesting habitat for the protected Loggerhead, Green,and Leatherback sea turtles.
It is especially critical that the City limit pollutants from entering the environment due to its proximity
to the City's vast system of interconnected waterways and sensitive marine habitats. One pollutant
of particular concern is expanded polystyrene, a petroleum based by-product which constitutes a
large portion of the litter in the City's streets, public places, and waterways. The Environmental
Protection Agency has determined that floatable debris, like expanded polystyrene, can have
"serious impacts on human health,wildlife, the aquatic environment and the economy"(Assessing
and Monitoring Floatable Debris, August 2002; EPA-842-B-02-002). Expanded polystyrene is a
particularly harmful pollutant because it is non-biodegradable and not readily recyclable.
Furthermore, it fragments into smaller pieces that easily enter and remain in the environment
harming or killing marine life and other wildlife that accidentally ingest it.
On July 23, 2014,the City Commission passed Ordinance No.2014-3884 expanding the restrictions
on the sale and use of expanded polystyrene(commonly known as Styrofoam)products,to reduce
litter and pollutants in the City's waterways and to enhance the environmental sustainability of the
City. Ordinance 2014-3884 prohibits the following:(1)the carrying of expanded polystyrene products
into City beaches and parks; (2) the sale or use in public facilities and on public property of
expanded polystyrene food service articles by City contractors,vendors, lessees, concessionaires,
operators of City facilities and properties, and special event permittees; and (3)the placement of
expanded polystyrene food service articles on the right-of-way and the provision by sidewalk café
permittees of expanded polystyrene food service articles to sidewalk café patrons.
The proposed Ordinance amends Chapter 46 of the City Code by amending Section 46-92 to
include the definitions of"polystyrene" and of"expanded polystyrene". Additionally, the proposed
Ordinance extends the existing prohibition of expanded polystyrene products on beaches and in
parks within the city to include city marinas, piers, docks, and boat ramps because these facilities
are in close proximity to bodies of water and, therefore, litter at these locations can easily enter the
marine environment.
Polystyrene Ordinance Memo—Second Reading
February 11, 2015
Page 3 of 3
The proposed Ordinance also amends Chapter 82 of the City Code by amending Section 82-7 to
include the definition of"polystyrene"and to expand the definition of"city facility"to include facilities
leased to the City and marinas, piers, docks or boat ramps owned,operated, leased,or managed by
the City. In addition, the proposed Ordinance amends section 82-7 to expand the definition of"city
property"to include property leased to the City. Moreover,the proposed Ordinance amends Section
82-366 to include the definitions of"expanded polystyrene," "expanded polystyrene food service
articles," and "polystyrene".
Waterfront facilities including marinas, piers, docks, and boat ramps provide the public with direct
access to Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the City's waterways. Keeping expanded
polystyrene products out of publically owned and leased facilities can help reduce litter nuisance
because lightweight articles, such as expanded polystyrene products,are picked up and dispensed
by wind and rain. The proposed Ordinance will reduce the presence of this pollutant on the City's
waterfronts and waterways and enhance the City's environmental sustainability.
FIVE YEAR 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. As the Amendment to the Ordinance is only intended to clarify the
definition of expanded polystyrene and clarify the locations polystyrene is prohibited, there is no
financial impact.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the Ordinance.
