order either approving or denying a project or take any formal action on preliminary evaluation
application. Preliminary evaluations shall not entitle applicants to any of the benefits accorded to

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Ordinances.
BACKGROUND
On October 10, 2014, the City Commission approved and directed the city administration to assess
the need for updating its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) program in order to automate,
streamline and refine city processes. The City is in the process of implementing the Tyler
Technology software (Munis and EnerGov), to maximize the delivery of services.
On June 10, 2015, at the request of Commissioner Malakoff, the City Commission referred an item
to review Planning Department fees, including fees associated with plans review, board
applications and other ministerial functions to the Finance and City Wide Projects Committee, Land
Use and Development Committee, and Planning Board. This amendment is consistent with the
recommendation of Tyler Technologies as well as EMA, the city's business process analyst, and
includes a comparable analysis and recommendation for Fire, Building and Public Works fees also
associated with the permitting process.
Commission Memorandum
Ordinance Amendments-Land Development Regulation and Permit Review Fees
December 9, 2015 Page 3 of 4
On October 5, 2015, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee recommended approval of the
proposed ordinance amendments to the Land Use and Development Committee and the City
Commission. On October 7, 2015, the Land Use and Development Committee recommended
approval of the proposed Ordinance amendments.
ANALYSIS
The City Administration has performed a comprehensive review of the applicable sections of the
City Code and is recommending amendments to provide as much predictability as possible in the
development process, transparency to the public and efficiency for services associated with the
development regulations and permit review. The recommendations are consistent with the
recommendation of Tyler Industries and EMA, as it relates to the implementation of an updated
ERP program.
The subject Ordinance Amendments accomplish the aforementioned goal. One of the ordinance
amendments proposes changes to the following Chapters of the City Code: Chapter 14, "Building
Regulations;" Chapter 15, "Zoning Review Fee Associated with the Building Review Process;"
Chapter 50, "Fire Prevention and Protection;" Chapter 66, "Marine Structures, Facilities and
Vehicles;" Chapter 86, "Sales;" and Chapter 98, "Streets and Sidewalks."
The other amendment proposes changes to the following sections of the Land Development
Regulations of the City Code: Chapter 114, "General Provisions;" Chapter 118, "Administration and
Review Procedures;" Chapter 138, "Signs;" and Chapter 142, "Zoning Districts and Regulations" of
the Land Development Regulations. Fees described throughout various sections of the Land
Development Regulations are proposed to refer to a new consolidated fee section (Section 118-7).
In addition, the amendment removes the ability to request adjustments to after-the-fact fees and
modifies submittal and fee requirements for traffic studies.
In addition to the consolidation of all planning department administration and land use board
fee's, the following substantive changes to existing rules and procedures are proposed,
both of which have a fee component:
1. Section 118-6, pertaining to consultants for applications for development approval,
has been substantially modified to now require that the applicant retain a consultant
to prepare all required technical studies (e.g. traffic or sound) and that the applicant
shall pay for the city's consultant to review the study. This eliminates the current,
very cumbersome peer review process.
2. Section 118-399, pertaining to procedures for the retention of illegally subdivided units,
undersized units or illegally installed kitchens, has been completely removed. The reason
for this is because it has not been utilized in almost 20 years and appears to be an
exception for certain properties purchased prior to September 30, 1987.
Additionally, internal review of code sections and Appendix A shows that certain fees have not
been adjusted in over ten years. This has resulted in decreased recovery of expenses related to
the permitting process. For this reason, the City Administration is proposing to update the
"Appendix A Fee Schedule" in order to more accurately defray costs of administering services
provided by the Planning, Fire, Building and Public Works Departments. The Budget Department
provided guidance in the methodology and targets used in the generation of the proposed fees.
Commission Memorandum
Ordinance Amendments-Land Development Regulation and Permit Review Fees
December 9, 2015 Page 4 of 4
The proposed changes to the fee ordinance include charging a flat rate of 0.70% per reviewing
department (2.1% cumulative) of job values for commercial permits, and 0.50% (1.0% cumulative)
of job values for residential projects, with a minimum fee of $70.00 for commercial permits and
$50.00 for residential permits, per reviewing department. These rates represent the Departments'
best efforts at estimating the generation of sufficient fees to cover the Departments' costs of
operation as permitted by law. This format of calculating fees is consistent with the current
methodology implemented by the Building Department in 2014, as well as Miami Dade County.
The proposed fees are intended to become effective with the implementation of the new permitting
software which is scheduled to go live on or about April of 2016.
The Planning, Fire and Public Works Departments are proposing amendments to:
• Commercial Permit fees for Planning, Fire, and Public Works will be 0.70% of the job value
of construction, with a minimum fee of $70.00 for commercial permits per reviewing
department.
• Residential Permit Fees for Planning, Fire and Public Works will be 0.50% of the job value
of construction, with a minimum fee of$50.00 per reviewing department.
• Various "stand-alone" and flat fees in "Appendix A" are also being updated, and will be
annually updated based on CPI.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The Planning Board transmitted the proposed ordinance amendment to the Land Development
Regulations (Chapters 114, 118, 138, and 142) on October 27, 2015 with a favorable
recommendation. The Planning Board Based recommended that the applicability of the reduced
fee for variance requests be clarified to further ensure that it is limited to "homeowners" that have
their primary residence on the subject property. This change has been incorporated into the
legislation for second reading.
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 City Administration evaluated the long term economic impact
(at least 5 years) of this proposed legislative action. The proposed Ordinance is not expected to
have a negative fiscal impact upon the City.
UPDATE
On October 14, 2015, the subject ordinance was approved at First Reading.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Ordinances.
