ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the ordinance be adopted.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Charter section 5.02 requires that the "City of Miami Beach shall consider the long-term
economic impact (at least 5 years) of proposed legislative actions." Staff has determined that
there will not be a fiscal impact on the City's budget by enacting the proposed ordinance as the
anticipated revenue loss is anticipated to be minimal. Currently, sidewalk cafés on Washington
Avenue between 5th and 17th Street generate $64,160.00 annually in sidewalk café permit fees.
If the proposed fee waiver is successful in attracting additional sidewalk cafés to Washington
Avenue, additional food and beverage resort tax revenue will be generated.
BACKGROUND
On April 29, 2015, the Washington Avenue Blue Ribbon Panel presented its final report and
recommendations to the Mayor and City Commission. Following the presentation, the Mayor
and City Commission held a discussion regarding the potential expansion of sidewalk cafés into
the existing parking lane to create an opportunity for outdoor cafés in "parklets." The Mayor and
City Commission directed staff to establish a program and guidelines for the design and
approval of parklets on a temporary basis.
At the December 9, 2015 City Commission meeting, the Mayor and City Commission approved
a Washington Avenue Pilot Parklet Program, to be administered by the Public Works
Commission Memorandum—Ordinance Amending Fees for Washington Avenue Sidewalk Cafes
April 13, 2016

Department. In addition, the City Commission directed the Administration to prepare the
necessary ordinances to waive concurrency and sidewalk café fees for the Washington Avenue
Pilot Parklet Program. This legislation is pending 2nd reading approval.
The proposed Ordinance amendment would waive sidewalk café permit fees for businesses on
Washington Avenue from 6th Street to Lincoln Road. The duration of this fee waiver would be 3
years.
SUMMARY/UPDATE
The subject ordinance was approved at First Reading on March 9, 2016, subject to the
proposed abatement being limited to three years instead of five years. This revision has been
incorporated into the draft ordinance for second reading.
RECOMMENDATION
The Ad�inistration recommends that the ordinance be adopted.
