COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY Condensed Title: Second Reading Of An Ordinance Of The Mayor And City Commission Of The City Of Miami Beach, Florida, Amending The Code Of The City Of Miami Beach By Amending Chapter 66, Entitled "Marine Structures, Facilities And Vehicles," By Amending Article II, Entitled "Restricted Wake Zones," By Amending Section 66-43, Entitled "Restricted Areas," By Amending Subsection B Thereof Regarding The Idle Speed, No Wake Zones By Adding An Idle Speed, No Wake Zone In The Area Of The Miami Beach Marina And Amending The Appendices To Section 66-43, Accordingly; Providing For Repealer, Severability, Codification, And An Effective Date. Key Intended Outcome Supported: N/A Supporting Data: N/A Item Summary/Recommendation: SECOND READING—PUBLIC HEARING The proposed Ordinance would amend Section 66-43 of the City Code to establish a no wake zone in that area of Meloy Channel between the Miami Beach Marina and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Causeway Island. If this Ordinance is adopted, the City would establish a no wake zone within a 500 foot radius of the launching and landing facility on the western boundary of the Miami Beach Marina (Area A on Attachment B, Appendix 2). Per Section 327.46(b)(1)(a), Fla. Stat., the City has the authority to establish a no wake zone by ordinance if the area is within 500 feet of any launching or landing facility available for use by the general boating public on waterways more than 300 feet in width. Due to regulatory restrictions and the width of the channel, an area approximately 260 feet wide on the western edge of the channel sits outside the City's authority to establish a no wake zone. As such, this Ordinance further amends Chapter 66-43 of the City Code to extend the no wake zone across the Meloy Channel under Section 327.46(c)(1), Fla. Stat., which provides for the creation of an idle speed, no wake zone with FWC approval if the area is within 300 feet of a confluence of water bodies presenting,a blind corner (Area B on Attachment B, Appendix 2). There are two blind corners at the Meloy Channel resulting from the intervening obstruction of USCG Causeway Island: one at the intersection of the Meloy Channel with Government Cut and another at the intersection of the Meloy Channel with Biscayne Bay. Simultaneous with the consideration of this Ordinance, the City is filing an application with FWC for the approval of Area B due to the safety concerns posed by these blind spots. The City will not be installing "idle speed no wake" signs until FWC approves Area B. Per Florida Statutes, the City is required to consult with Miami-Dade County, the USCG and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the development of all boating restricted areas. At this time, the City has begun coordination with all three agencies. The waters just west of the Miami Beach.Marina present a serious safety hazard..The Miami Beach Marina is a public facility that sees heavy boat traffic entering and exiting the Meloy Channel. At the same time, boats and jet skis coming from Government Cut pass quickly through the channel, sometimes at alarming speeds. Additionally, large wakes can result in damage to the City's landing facility and to the vessels that dock thereon. A no wake zone in this area would considerably reduce the threats to safety and quality of life posed by boats passing quickly through the channel and those reducing or picking up their speed to enter or exit the Miami Beach Marina. The Miami Beach Marina has provided a letter of support for this initiative. On July 8, 2015, the City Commission passed this Ordinance on first reading. The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the proposed No Wake Zone Ordinance on Second Reading. Advisory Board Recommendation: Financial Information: Source of Amount Account Funds: 1 OBPI Total Financial Impact Summary: The proposed Ordinance should not have a significant fiscal impact upon the City, as it will only require installation of"idle speed no wake"(no wake)signs. Additionally, this area is already under the jurisdiction and supervision of Marine Patrol so there is no increase in enforcement costs.

BACKGROUND On July 8, 2015, the City Commission passed this Ordinance on first reading. The proposed Ordinance would provide regulations for the safe operation of motorboats and other vessels in or upon waters within the jurisdiction of the City of Miami Beach. The City has the authority to create such an ordinance based on Section 327.46, Florida Statutes (Fla. Stat.) (Attachment A). Section 327.46, Fla. Stat. authorizes local governments to establish boating restricted areas where needed. The statute provides specific requirements on where and for what purposes boating restricted areas can be established. The statute identifies zones that can be established with state review and zones that can be established without state review. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is the agency responsible for conducting the aforementioned state review. PROPOSED ORDINANCE The proposed Ordinance would amend Section 66-43 of the City Code to establish a no wake zone Restricted Wake Zone Miami Beach Marina Memo—Second Reading September 2, 2015 Page 2 of 3 in that portion of Meloy Channel between the Miami Beach Marina and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Causeway Island. If this Ordinance is adopted, the City would establish a no wake zone within a 500 foot radius of the launching and landing facility on the western boundary of the Miami Beach Marina(Area A on Appendix 2 of the Ordinance). Per Section 327.46(b)(1)(a), Fla. Stat.,the City has the authority to establish a no wake zone by ordinance if the area is within 500 feet of any launching or landing facility available for use by the general boating public on waterways more than 300 feet in width. Due to regulatory restrictions and the width of the channel, an area approximately 260 feet wide on the western edge of the channel sits outside the City's sole authority to establish a no wake zone.As such, this Ordinance further amends Chapter 66-43 of the City Code to extend the no wake zone across the Meloy Channel under Section 327.46(c)(1), Fla. Stat.,which provides for the creation of an idle speed, no wake boating-restricted area with FWC approval if the area is within 300 feet of a confluence of water bodies presenting a blind corner (Area B on Appendix 2 of the Ordinance). There are two blind corners in this area of the Meloy Channel resulting from the intervening obstruction of USCG Causeway Island: one at the intersection of the Meloy Channel with Government Cut and another at the intersection of the Meloy Channel with Biscayne Bay adjacent to the MacArthur Causeway(Attachment B). Simultaneous with the consideration of this Ordinance, the City is filing an application with FWC for the approval of Area B due to the safety concerns posed by these blind spots. Specifically,when Area A becomes a no wake zone, boat traffic seeking higher speeds is anticipated to reroute under the bridge outside the channel, closer to USCG Causeway Island, and create potentially hazardous conditions for boaters, as well as the USCG which docks, services, and launches vessels from their eastern seawall. The City will not be installing "idle speed no wake" signs until FWC approves Area B. Per Florida Statutes, the City is required to consult with the Miami-Dade County, USCG and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the development of all boating restricted areas. At this time, the City has initiated consultation with all three agencies. The waters just west of the Miami Beach Marina present a serious safety hazard. The Miami Beach Marina is a public facility that sees heavy boat traffic entering and exiting the Meloy Channel.At the same time, boats and jet skis coming from Government Cut pass quickly through the channel, sometimes at alarming speeds.Additionally, large wakes can result in damage to the City's landing facility and to the vessels that dock thereon.A no wake zone in this area would considerably reduce the threats to safety and quality of life posed by boats passing quickly through the channel and those reducing or picking up their speed to enter or exit the Miami Beach Marina.The Miami Beach Marina has provided a letter of support for this initiative (Attachment C). 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. The proposed Ordinance should not have a significant fiscal impact upon the City, as it will only require installation of"idle speed no wake"(no wake)signs.Additionally, this area is already under the jurisdiction and supervision of Marine Patrol so there is no increase in enforcement costs.

The Miami Beach Marina sees heavy boat traffic entering and exiting the Meloy Channel. At the same time, boats and jet skis coming from Government Cut pass quickly through the channel, sometimes at alarming speeds.
