RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On December 8, 2020, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) directed the Planning
Department to prepare a Preliminary Evaluation and Recommendation Report relative to the
possible designation of the North Beach Bandshell, located at 7275 Collins Avenue as a local
historic site. On March 8, 2021, the HPB reviewed a Preliminary Evaluation and
Recommendation Report relative to the possible designation of the North Beach Bandshell
Historic Site and directed staff to prepare a Formal Designation Report.
On March 9, 2021, pursuant to Section 118-591 of the City Code, the City Commission was
advised of the action of the Historic Preservation Board via LTC 099-2021. On September 13,
2021, the HPB reviewed the historic designation report for the proposed North Beach
Page 18 of 226
Bandshell Historic Site. At this meeting, the HPB transmitted the historic district designation to
the Planning Board and City Commission with a favorable recommendation.
ANALYSIS
HISTORIC DESIGNATION PROCESS
The process of historic designation is delineated in Sections 118-591 through 118-593 in
Subpart B of the Land Development Regulations of the City Code (Chapter 118, Article X,
Division 4). An outline of this process is delineated below.
Step One: A request for designation is made either by the City Commission, the Historic
Preservation Board, other agencies and organizations as listed in the Land Development
Regulations of the City Code, or the property owners involved. Proposals for designation shall
include a completed application form available from the Planning Department.
Step Two: The Planning Department prepares a preliminary evaluation report with
recommendations for consideration by the Board.
Step Three: The Historic Preservation Board considers the preliminary evaluation to determine
if proceeding with a designation report is warranted.
The designation report is an historical and architectural analysis of the proposed district or site.
The report:
1) describes the historic, architectural and/or archeological significance of the property or
subject area proposed for Historical Site or District designation;
2) recommends Evaluation Guidelines to be used by the Board to evaluate the appropriateness
and compatibility of proposed Developments affecting the designated Site or District; and
3)will serve as an attachment to the Land Development Regulations of the City Code.
Step Four: The City Commission is notified of the Board's decision and the initial boundaries
proposed for designation. Within 60 days of the vote of the Historic Preservation Board to direct
the Planning Department to prepare a designation report, the City Commission may, by a five-
sevenths vote, deny or modify the proposed request for designation.
Step Five: The designation report is presented to the Historic Preservation Board at a public
hearing. If the Board determines that the proposed site or district satisfies the requirements for
designation as set forth in the Land Development Regulations of the City Code, the Board
transmits a recommendation in favor of designation to the Planning Board and City
Commission.
Step Six: The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed designation, and shall
consider the proposed historic designation as an amendment to the Land Development
Regulations of the City Code and, subsequently, transmit its recommendation to the City
Commission.
Step Seven: The City Commission may adopt an amendment to the Land Development
Regulations of the City Code by a five-sevenths majority vote, which thereby designates the
Historic Preservation Site or Historic District after one (1) public hearing for a parcel of land less
than ten (10) contiguous acres or after two (2) public hearings for a parcel of land that is more
Page 19 of 226
than ten (10)contiguous acres.
PLANNING ANALYSIS
The North Beach Bandshell is an open-air amphitheater located at the southwest comer of
Collins Avenue and 73rd Street within Bandshell Park. It serves as an important gathering space
and civic institution for the North Beach Community. Since 2015, the Bandshell has been
managed by the Rhythm Foundation, a nonprofit cultural organization based in Miami Beach,
which uses the venue for concerts and other community events.
As noted herein, on December 8, 2020, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) directed the
Planning Department to prepare a Preliminary Evaluation and Recommendation Report relative
to the possible historic designation of the North Bandshell. The site was found to satisfy the
minimum requirements for historic designation as outlined in Section 118-592 of the City Code
and the HPB directed staff to prepare a full designation report (see attached). The HPB
subsequently reviewed the full designation report and transmitted the historic designation to the
Planning Board and City Commission with a favorable recommendation.
The Planning Department finds the proposed North Beach Bandshell Historic Site to be in
compliance with the Criteria for Designation listed in Section 118-592 in the Land Development
Regulations of the City Code. If the designation is ultimately approved by the City Commission,
any potential modifications to the North Beach Bandshell would be reviewed by the HPB,
instead of the Design Review Board (DRB), and would be subject to Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings.
The Administration is highly supportive of the proposed designation of the North Beach
Bandshell as an individual historic site. In conclusion, the North Beach Bandshell represents an
outstanding example of the post war-modem style of architecture and it is recommended that
the City Commission approve the attached designation Ordinance.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On September 28, 2021, the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the
Ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 5-0. The
Board also recommended that the name of the stage, which is named after Clark Douglas
Bums, be retained.
UPDATE
The subject Ordinance was approved at First Reading on October 13, 2021 with no changes.

CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.

I. REQUEST
On December 8, 2020, the Historic Preservation Board directed the Planning Department to
prepare a Preliminary Evaluation and Recommendation Report relative to the possible designation
of the North Beach Bandshell (7275 Collins Avenue) as a local historic site.
On March 8, 2021, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed a Preliminary Evaluation and
Recommendation Report relative to the possible designation of the North Beach Bandshell Historic
Site located at 7275 Collins Avenue and directed staff to prepare a Formal Designation Report
for the North Beach Bandshell Historic Site.
Pursuant to Section 118-591 of the City Code, on March 9, 2021 the City Commission was
advised of the action of the Historic Preservation Board via LTC 099-2021 .
11. DESIGNATION PROCESS
The process of historic designation is delineated in Sections 1 18-591 through 1 18-593 in Subpart
B of the Land Development Regulations of the City Code (Chapter 118, Article X, Division 4). An
outline of this process is delineated below.
Step One: A request for designation is made either by the City Commission, the Historic
Preservation Board, other agencies and organizations as listed in the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code, or the property owners involved.
Proposals for designation shall include a completed application form available
from the Planning Department.
Step Two: The Planning Department prepares a preliminary evaluation report with
recommendations for consideration by the Board.
Step Three: The Historic Preservation Board considers the preliminary evaluation to determine
if proceeding with a designation report is warranted.
The designation report is an historical and architectural analysis of the proposed
district or site. The report:
1) describes the historic, architectural and/or archeological significance of
the property or subject area proposed for Historical Site or District
designation;
2) recommends Evaluation Guidelines to be used by the Board to evaluate the
appropriateness and compatibility of proposed Developments affecting the
designated Site or District; and
3) will serve as an attachment to the Land Development Regulations of the City
Code.
Step Four: The City Commission is notified of the Board's decision and the initial boundaries
proposed for designation. Within 60 days of the vote of the Historic Preservation
Page 26 of 226
North Beach Bandshell Historic Site Designation Report Page 6 of 23
Board to direct the Planning Department to prepare a designation report, the City
Commission may, by a five-sevenths vote, deny or modify the proposed request for
designation.
Step Five: The designation report is presented to the Historic Preservation Board at a public
hearing. If the Board determines that the proposed site or district satisfies the
requirements for designation as set forth in the Land Development Regulations of
the City Code, the Board transmits a recommendation in favor of designation to
the Planning Board and City Commission.
Step Six: The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed designation, and
shall consider the proposed historic designation as an amendment to the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code and, subsequently, transmit its
recommendation to the City Commission.
Step Seven: The City Commission may adopt an amendment to the Land Development
Regulations of the City Code by a five-sevenths majority vote, which thereby
designates the Historic Preservation Site or Historic District after one (1) public
hearing for a parcel of land less than ten (10) contiguous acres or after two (2)
public hearings for a parcel of land that is more than ten (10) contiguous acres.
M. RELATION TO ORDINANCE CRITERIA
1 . In accordance with Section 118-592 in the Land Development Regulations of the City
Code, eligibility for designation is determined on the basis of compliance with the listed
criteria set forth below.
(a) The Historic Preservation Board shall have the authority to recommend that
properties be designated as historic buildings, historic structures, historic
improvements, historic landscape features, historic interiors (architecturally
significant public portions only), historic sites or historic districts if they are
significant in the historical, architectural, cultural, aesthetic or archeological
heritage of the city, the county, state or nation. Such properties shall possess an
integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling or association
and meet at least one (1) of the following criteria:
(1) Association with events that have made a significant contribution to the
history of the city, the county, state or nation;
(2) Association with the lives of persons significant in the city's past history;
(3) Embody the distinctive characteristics of an historical period, architectural
or design style or method of construction;
(4) Possesses high artistic values;
Page 27 of 226
North Beach Bandshell Historic Site Designation Report Page 7 of 23
(5) Represent the work of a master, serve as an outstanding or representative
work of a master designer, architect or builder who contributed to our
historical, aesthetic or architectural heritage;
(6) Have yielded, or are likely to yield information important in pre-history or
history;
(7) Be listed in the National Register of Historic Places;
(8) Consist of a geographically definable area that possesses a significant
concentration of sites, buildings or structures united by historically
significant past events or aesthetically by plan or physical development,
whose components may lack individual distinction.
(b) A building, structure (including the public portions of the interior), improvement or
landscape feature may be designated historic even if it has been altered if the
alteration is reversible and the most significant architectural elements are intact
and repairable.
(c) The historic preservation board shall consider if the historic buildings, historic
structures, historic improvements, historic landscape features, historic interiors
(architecturally significant public portions only), historic sites, or historic districts
comply with the sea level rise and resiliency review criteria in chapter 133, article
II, as applicable.
2. The proposed North Beach Bandshell Historic Site is eligible for historic designation as it
complies with the criteria as specified in Section 118-592 in the Land Development
Regulations of the City Code outlined above.
Staff finds that the proposed North Beach Bandshell Historic Site located at
7275 Collins Avenue possess integrity of location, design, setting
materials, workmanship, feeling or association for the following reasons:
The construction of the North Beach Bandshell located at 7275 Collins Avenue in 1961,
was clearly significant in the highly successful post WWII development period of the City
of Miami Beach. The proposed. historic site still possesses the integrity of its original
location at 7275 Collins Avenue, despite sixty years of hurricanes, storms and economic
downturns. Further, the structure retains many of its historic materials, details and
workmanship as well as the character of its post WWII period of construction.
` (a) Further, staff finds the proposed historic site to be eligible for historic designation
and in conformance with the designation criteria for the following reasons:
Page 28 of 226
North Beach Bandshell Historic Site Designation Report Page 8 of 23
(1) Association with events that have made a significant
contribution to the history of the city, the county, state or
nation.
The construction of the North Beach Bandshell directly reflects the turn of
events in America following World War II (WWII). The advent of reliable
and affordable mass-produced automobiles and air transportation and the
introduction of air-conditioning during the early mid-century period, made
year-round resort living in South Florida highly desirable and practical, as
well as within the reach of America's middle class. The booming post war
economy gave the growing middle class more leisure time leading to
increased tourism and the construction of modern entertainment venues.
Financial prosperity combined with a strong sense of optimism led to a
nationwide focus on the arts and entertainment in the two decades
following the end of the war. Miami Beach, particularly along Collins
Avenue north of 43rd Street, became a magnet for live entertainment in the
1950s and 1960s. The construction of the North Beach Bandshell in
1961, is directly associated with events that followed WWII.
(3) Embody the distinctive characteristics of a historical period,
architectural or design style or method of construction.
The North Beach Bandshell embodies the distinctive characteristics of the
Post War Modern style of architecture, the style of choice used by
successful developers in the period that followed World War II in Miami
Beach-as well as other areas of South Florida. The design of the Bandshell
incorporates sculptured concrete forms, decorative cast concrete breeze
block large, curved concrete stage, floating cantilevered concrete canopies
This open-air performing arts facility was sensitively designed to respond to
its unique tropical location in Miami Beach.
(4) Possesses high artistic values.
The North Beach Bandshell, with its dramatic use of soaring concrete
columns, acute angles and sweeping roof line, exemplifies high artistic
values. A 2002 exhibit launched by the Municipal Art Society at the Urban
Center Galleries on Madison Avenue entitled, "Beyond the Box — Mid-
Century Modern Architecture in Miami and New York," which featured the
North Beach Bandshell, underscores the high artistic value of the
architecture.
(5) Represent the work of a master, serve as an outstanding or
representative work of a master designer, architect or builder
Page 29 of 226
North Beach Bandshell Historic Site Designation Report Page 9 of 23
who contributed to our historical, aesthetic or architectural
heritage.
The North Beach Bandshell was designed by Norman Giller, a prominent
local architect who also designed among others, the Carillon Hotel,
Bombay Hotel and original Diplomat Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale (now
demolished).
(b) A building, structure (including the public portions of the interior);
improvement or landscape feature may be designated historic even
if it has been altered if the alteration is reversible and the most
significant architectural elements are intact and repairable.
The North Beach Bandshell complex retains a high degree of architectural integri`y
with very limited modifications.
3. The historic preservation board shall consider if the historic buildings, historic structures,
historic improvements, historic landscape features, historic interiors (architecturally
significant public portions only), historic sites, or historic districts comply with the sea level
rise and resiliency review criteria in Chapter 133, Article II, as applicable, pursuant to
Section 118-592.
(a) Criteria for ordinances, resolutions, or recommendations:
(1) Whether the proposal affects an area that is vulnerable to the
impacts of'sea level rise, pursuant to adopted projections.
The adopted projections are the following:

Vill. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Long before the incorporation of Miami Beach in 1915, even before this desolate barrier island
became a coconut plantation, the Biscayne House of Refuge was built near present-day 72nd
Street (just south of what would become the future site of the North Beach Bandshell). It was one
of five stations constructed by the United States Lifesaving Service (a precursor to the Coast
Guard) along Florida's southeast coast in 1876. These stations usually housed a keeper and his
family, and they provided shelter and food for shipwrecked mariners.'
It is widely believed that the Biscayne House of Refuge was the first formal structure erected on the
barrier island now known as Miami Beach.2 It was also the birthplace of Richard Peacock, son of
the keeper at that time. Born on November 4, 1886, he is reputedly the first person born in what
would later become Miami Beach.

Soon after its construction, the Biscayne House of Refuge played a part in the coconut plantation
project of 1882 when New Jersey entrepreneurs Elnathan Field, Ezra Osborn, and Henry Lum
purchased about 60 miles of oceanfront land extending from Key Biscayne to Jupiter, Florida. A
mobile work crew planted this land with over 300,000 coconuts that were brought by boat from
the Caribbean. The first camp site for the coconut planting operations was located in the area of
today's Lummus Park; subsequent camp sites were positioned at the Biscayne House of Refuge in
Miami Beach and then the Ft. Lauderdale House of Refuge (about nine miles south of the Hillsboro
Inlet). Although the project did not succeed commercially, it was the first attempt at development
of the City and it led to other, more successful endeavors aimed at tourism.

Biscayne House of Refuge, ca. 1925 ~
The Biscayne House of Refuge was originally built on a 10-acre strip of oceanfront land claimed
for the United States government by an executive order from President Ulysses S. Grant in 1875.
The Department of the Interior increased the government's land holdings to extend from the
Atlantic Ocean to Biscayne Bay in 1891 . In 1921, President Warren G. Harding issued an
executive order to restore part of this tract to the public domain (to become known as Harding
Townsite), and a 500 foot-wide strip was retained for use by the United States Coast Guard
(established in 1915).3 The Coast Guard tract was 22 acres in size and spanned from the ocean
to the bay between what is now 72nd Street and 73rd Street.

In 1922, a survey revealed that the Biscayne House of Refuge, which consisted of the main
building, a boathouse, and an observation tower, had mistakenly been built a short distance
south of the parcel of land the United States government had claimed for its site.4 Consequently,
the Biscayne House of Refuge was moved the following year from its original location just south of
72nd Street northward about 200 feet onto the government-owned tract of land.S This area was
located in unincorporated Dade County at that time. When Miami Beach was incorporated in
1915, the northern city limits were set along the midline of State-surveyed Sections 22 and 23
near present-day 46th Street.6 The house of refuge and the future site of the North Beach
Bandshell did not become a part of Miami Beach until July 1, 1924, when the northern city limit
was extended to its present location at 87th Terrace.
The Biscayne House of Refuge remained in use until September of 1926 when it was heavily
damaged in the great hurricane and subsequently demolished. The only house of refuge that
survives today is located at Gilbert's Bar near Stuart, Florida. As times changed, property values
rose in North Beach, and the Coast Guard left the federal reservation idle and overgrown. Many
appeals were made for the release of this land from government ownership, but the original 1875
decree prohibited its sale. Finally, in 1941, the Coast Guard exchanged this property for the site
of its present station on Causeway Island, and the land between 72nd Street and 73rd Street
came into the possession of the City of Miami Beach for use as a public park.8 It appears that the
former Coast Guard property was first named Surfside Park9; however, it was later renamed to
North Shore Park by 1952.10
In 1942, the City of Miami Beach erected a lifesaving and comfort station on the beach in the
new park (just southeast of what would become the future site of the bandshell). It was designed
by August Geiger and built by Wilbert Harborn for a cost of $18,000. The floor plan of the
building was organized around a central hospital room with a squad room on the north end and
a storage room on the south end. Bathroom facilities were located on the far north and south
sides of the structure. The 1-story building was symmetrically designed with a central section and
two side wings that were lower in height. It featured multiple hipped roofs with flat tile, double-
hung sash windows, heavy wood-paneled doors, wooden shutters, side entrances with thick
masonry sidewalls, and a large porch facing the ocean. In 1974, the structure was enlarged and
significantly altered to adapt to a new use as a community center."
In 2010, the 1942 building was demolished and replaced by a new 2-story community center
designed by architect Rene Gonzalez. This new community center was approved by the Design
Review Board in 2008 and completed in 2013.12

IX. ARCHITECTURAL BACKGROUND
The Post War Modern Style of Architecture in Miami Beach (about 1945 to 1967)
In order to better understand the Post War Modern or Miami Modern (MiMo) style of architecture,
it is important to view this architectural movement in the context of the historical, political, social,
economic, and technological changes that were taking place during this period worldwide,
nationwide, and locally.
Between 1942 and 1945 Miami Beach played a significant role WWII. Nearly half a million
men took over more than 300 hotels and apartment buildings for housing and training
headquarters by the Army Air Forces Technical Training Command. By the time the war ended,
one-fourth of all Army Air Force officers and one-fifth of the military's enlisted men had been
trained in Miami Beach. Hotel rooms became barracks, hotel dining rooms became mess halls, a
movie theater became a testing center, hotels became administrative offices, hotel pools and the
ocean were used to teach life.saving techniques, golf courses became parade grounds, and the
beach was used for rifle ranges and physical training. Another group of hotels and buildings
served as an Army Redistribution Station for infantrymen returning from battle. Many of the
buildings are still in operation today and are visited by thousands of tourists each year.
Many of these young servicemen and women returned after the war. The influx of new residents
and visitors resulted in a housing construction boom during the 1950s, when hundreds of Post
War Modern style buildings were erected throughout the City.
Architectural Description
After a hiatus in construction due to World War II, the Post-War Modern style picked up where
Art Deco left off with the added influences of a booming post-war economy, new technologies
such as air conditioning, the prevalence of the sophisticated, affordable, and reliable new
automobiles, and a feeling of national optimism. The local expression of this style was dubbed
Miami Modern or MiMo by the Greater Metropolitan Miami area's Urban Arts Committee in
about 2004 (much as the term Art Deco was first applied about 1965 when the style actually first
appeared in the 1920s).
From about 1948 to 1966, the widely popular Post-War Modern style was frequently applied to
hotels, commercial buildings, apartment houses, and single family homes throughout Miami
Beach. Post War Modern style buildings generally made an extensive use of glass and poured
concrete. They often mixed two or more textured surfaces together (i.e. stucco with stone, brick, or
mosaic the as well as contrasting smooth and patterned stucco surfaces). The style featured such
dramatic elements as accordion-like folded plate roofs and walls, acute as well as subtle angles,
dynamic parabolas, delta wing shapes, sweeping curved walls, and soaring pylons. Other
commonly occurring design elements and materials that were added to the architectural
vocabulary of the Post War Modern style structures included: brise soleil, architectural accents
with exotic themes and often wall sculptures in relief, brick or stone faced feature areas, cast
concrete decorative panels with geometric patterns, and a remarkable use of architectural 'breeze
block' in a wide variety of design patterns lending itself so well to natural air flow in this tropical
Page 34 of 226
North Beach Bandshell Historic Site Designation Report Page 14 of 23
environment . Architect Morris Lapidus further expanded the architectural language of this style
when he made popular "cheese holes", "woggles", and "beanpoles". -
The hotels in the Post-War Modern style often incorporated an expansive use of glass curtain
walls, cantilevered asymmetrical roofs, leaping arches, dramatic fin walls, floating planes,
architectural bridges, and grand entrance porte cocheres. Primary facades were sometimes
graced with bold neon signs or logos in order to catch the eye of passing motorists. Sometimes,
"sky signs" were mounted on rooftop features or on parapet walls. Color was an essential
ingredient of signage. The fenestration was often highlighted with boxed or corner windows, as
well as continuous ribbon windows and eyebrows. The hotels often took on exotic or futuristic
forms, using architecture as advertising in an effort to outdo one another in competing for
business.
Architect
Norman M. Giller (d. 2008), was born in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1918. Giller earned a
degree in architecture from the University of Florida in 1945. He apprenticed with Henry
Hohauser and Albert Anis during the early 1940's in Miami Beach. After World War II, Giller
became one of South Florida's most influential and inventive architects of the Post-War Modern
style.
Some of his best-known works include:
Bombay Hotel — 6901 Collins Avenue, 1951
Giller Building — 975 41 st Street, 1957
Carillon Hotel — 6801 Collins Avenue, 1957
Diplomat Hotel (now demolished) — 3555 South Ocean Drive, Hollywood, 1957
North Beach Bandshell — 7275 Collins Avenue
The North Beach Bandshell, originally known as the North Shore Community Center, is located
within Bandshell Park on Collins Avenue between 72nd and 73rd Streets, adjacent to the beach
and the Atlantic Ocean. Designed by the renowned Miami Beach architect Norman Giller in
1961, the bandshell is an excellent example of the Post War Modern or Miami Modern (MiMo)
style of architecture. The bandshell was designed as an open-air facility to host a variety of civic
and community activities. Comprised -of sculptured concrete forms, the bandshell complex is
designed as an amphitheater with a central circular terrazzo dance floor surrounded by a semi-
circular area for seating and a central stage. A perimeter wall capped with decorative cast
concrete breeze block encircles the amphitheater complex. The large, curved concrete stage is
flanked by two side entrances, each detailed with large cantilevered concrete canopies that
appear to float, and a main gate that is on axis with the stage and enclosed in a tower of curved
columns. This open-air performing arts facility was sensitively designed to respond to its unique
tropical location in Miami Beach. The highly spirited open form of its architecture integrates
artfully with its coconut palm setting by the sea.

Between 2009 and 2011, the Bandshell facility was restored and renovated by the City including
the replacement of the eastern shed structure with a new 1-story back of house addition. In 2019,
the Design Review Board reviewed and approved plans for the introduction of a new circular
shade canopy structure designed by Todd Dalland of Pvilion Technologies in consultation with Ira
Giller, Norman Giller's son.
