R5F-Film And Print Production PermitsCOMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
An Ordinance Of The Mayor And City Commission Of The City Of Miami Beach, Florida, Amending Chapter 12 Of The
Miami Beach City Code, Entitled "Arts, Culture And Entertainment," By Amending Article I Thereof, Entitled "Film And
Print Production Permits," By Amending Section 10 Entitled "Enforcement"; And Providing For Repealer, Codification,
Severability, And An Effective Date.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Diversify Business Base in Miami Beach
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): In 2012 the City issued 1,004 total film and print permits. Of
those, 54 separate entrees for locations in single family homes with a total of 182 days in total.
Item Summary/Recommendation:
On April 18, 2001, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2001-3303 which established procedures and criteria for
the issuance of film permits in the City. At the same time, the City Commission adopted a companion Resolution that
established Film and Print Guidelines. The guidelines, while somewhat burdensome and cost prohibitive to some
productions, are designed to maintain the integrity of a neighborhood, and have become a model other communities
have referenced when trying to create their own.
As you know, the City has also been reviewing the City Code to standardize and streamline enforcement provisions.
The Film and Print Ordinance is a section that would be more appropriately addressed through a set fine schedule. A
violator can elect to pay the fine as outlined in the established fine schedule, or request an administrative hearing before
the Special Master to appeal the decision of the Code Compliance Officer, which resulted in the violation being issued.
The proposed ordinance reflects this change.
The City periodically reviews it's guidelines to determine if amendments are necessary. The City's Production Industry
Council (PIC) has reviewed amendments to the guidelines at numerous meetings since January 2012. In considering
amendments PIC recognized the long-term value of managing and promoting this industry, and proactively encouraging
its continued growth.
The proposed amendments to the Film and Print Guidelines are being presented as a companion item on today's
agenda for the City Commission's consideration.
Advisory Board Recommendation:
Neighborhood and Community Affairs Committee discussed this item on April 24, September 24, 2012, October 15,
2012 and November 19, 2012. The Production Industry Council (PIC) has reviewed amendments to the guidelines at

The Administration recommends adopting the recommended ordinance amendments on first reading and

today's City Commission agenda with recommended amendments to the City's Film and Print Production
Guidelines.
KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED
Diversify Business Base in Miami Beach
BACKGROUND
On April 18, 2001, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2001-3303 which established procedures and
criteria for the issuance of film permits in the City. At the same time, the City Commission adopted a
companion Resolution that established Film and Print Guidelines. The Film & Print guidelines outline
insurance, indemnity and application requirements; basic requirements for Police and other municipal services;
do's and don'ts of filming; restrictions; and requirements. They also include requirements for residential
production requests, as well as more detailed enforcement policies. These guidelines have been designed to
allow the City flexibility in the coordination of productions. Rarely are productions "cookie cutter" in nature, and
flexibility in the review and approval process allows City staff to be proactive and responsive in accommodating
the varying needs of this industry, while mitigating any impacts of the production on the neighborhood(s).
The Tourism and Cultural Development Department, Office of Film and Special Events, is responsible for
facilitating compatible production and, with the oversight of the City Manager's office, issues Film and Print
Permits. The Office serves the needs of the City's thriving production community while safeguarding the City's
neighborhoods and businesses. The Office of Film and Special Events issues close to 1000 film permits each
year and is an information resource to productions, businesses and residents alike.
Film and Print production is a coveted industry, responsible for substantial direct and indirect economic impact
to Miami Beach. In 2011, using data collected from the Miami Beach and Miami-Dade film permit systems,
Miami Beach alone issued 968 film and print permits for location filming, accounting for $87,070,838 dollars
spent and 22,209 room nights all within Miami Beach. This information is collected by the City and the County
from the productions as part of the permit application process. Miami Beach was part of the key leadership in
pushing through the state of Florida's largest film and entertainment incentive in 2010, which has accounted for
278

Proposed Amendments
February 6, 2013 Page 2
116 new projects, spending over $827 Million in Florida qualified expenditures (of that, $465 Million in wages
for over 136,000 Florida jobs) and nearly 150,000 room nights for the Southeast region of the state (Miami·
Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe counties), including the recent upswing of productions in our community,
such as Miami Beach·set "Magic City," the filmed in Miami Beach for LA "Rock of Ages" as well as the
upcoming release of "Step Up Forever." The images taken here in all mediums are transmitted throughout the
world and are a true engine for our tourism destination. Historically, from Frank Sinatra to Jackie Gleason, the
production industry has filled our hotels and restaurants, led to urban renewal and substantial investment,
enhanced media attention and awareness for the destination and created jobs for residents. It is a green, self
marketing economic windfall and is always at risk of being wooed to our competition, whether within Florida
(Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville), nearby states (Georgia, Louisiana) or outside the country altogether (Puerto
Rico, or Columbia).
The guidelines, while somewhat burdensome and cost prohibitive to some productions, are designed to
maintain the integrity of a neighborhood, and have become a model other communities have referenced when
trying to create their own. Though rarely explored to such limits, the Film and Print Guidelines allow any
residential property in the City of Miami Beach to host production activity a maximum of sixty (60) days within a
six (6) month period. The number of days the guidelines allows takes into consideration the most frequent
production uses of Miami Beach residences, fashion/ print productions, which most often are contained to one
motor home; reality shows, which minimize the production elements altogether to capture a more realistic
setting; and telenovelas (most by locally based Telemundo), which have worked to streamline their production
requirements and minimize their hours to be able to utilize such locations regularly for their daily soap opera
schedule. Miami Beach residential properties are in demand for series television and feature film use, from
"Burn Notice" and "Magic City" to "Pain and Gain," starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
and "Iron Man 3."
PROPOSED FILM & PRINT ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
As you know, the City has been reviewing the City Code to standardize and streamline enforcement
provisions. The Film and Print Ordinance is a section that would be more appropriately addressed through a
set fine schedule. A violator can elect to pay the fine as outlined in the established fine schedule, or request
an administrative hearing before the Special Master to appeal the decision of the Code Compliance Officer
which resulted in the violation being issued. This will ensure that the violator is still afforded due process. The
following are the proposed amendments to the enforcement and penalty provisions:
(1 0) Enforcement.
a. Permits shall be maintained at the site on which the photography or filming occurs. Upon the
request of any police officer or code compliance officer of the city, the owner, lessee of the property
or representative of the production company, shall produce such permit for inspection.
b. Persons engaged in film and print activities without a permit, or otheM'ise in violation of a
permit, this section or the film and print regulations provided for herein, shall be subject to
enforcement by city police or code compliance officers, through the issuance of immediate cease
and desist orders, the violation of 'Nhich may subject the offender to arrest, and/or enforcement as
provided for in section 1 14 of this Code, and/or notices of violation referred to special masters, who
have authority to issue fines or enforce compliance, as provided for in Chapter 30 of this Code.
Police or code compliance officers will coordinate enforcement with the office of arts, culture and
entertainment. As ·an alternate and supplemental remedy, the city may enforce this section by
injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, and in such circumstance the city shall be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. For repeat offenders, the manager or
designee may decline to issue permits to such person or entity for one year, or such other period as
the manager deems appropriate.

PROPOSED FILM & PRINT GUIDELINE AMENDMENTS
As you know, the City has been working with the Production Industry Council (PIC) to review amendments to
the guidelines since January of 2012. In considering amendments PIC recognized the long-term value of
managing and promoting this industry, and proactively encouraging its continued growth. Proposed
amendments (see attached) mutually agreed to by all parties include the following:
• Clarify the enforcement section of film permits;
• further defining "City-wide" and "Driving Shot" permits;
• expanding the Vehicle Beach Access Policy pertaining to all beach, park and pedestrian use areas;
• other amendments include clean up language to various sections;
• removing the current exemption available to small print productions from being required to provide
notification to neighboring properties.
As you know, in a letter to the City Manager on February 22, 2012, Mr. Alex Tachmes, on behalf of his client,
the residents of 4350 North Bay Road (Irwin and Nora Friedman) have requested the City further restrict the
frequency and number of Film & Print Permits in Single Family districts. Mr. Friedman has proposed
amendments that would allow up to five (5) days of film and print activity per month without neighbor consent,
only notification as currently required. Any film or print activity above five (5) days per month could still occur,
but would require the consent of abutting residents.
Neighborhood and Community Affairs Committee discussed this item on April 24, September 24, 2012,
October 15, 2012 and November 19, 2012. The Production Industry Council held a Film & Print Guidelines
Community Meeting on May 14, 2012, While some good ideas were brought forward by the residents, such as
registering homes, the general consensus of the attending residents was that Mr. Friedman's proposal was too
liberal, even though the majority of the complaints registered were not relevant to legally permitted film and
print uses. With no compromise obtained, the Production Industry Council worked to cull all suggestions to
create a compromise with the City Administration, taking into account the needs of the residents but also with a
need to ensure the industry could continue to thrive in Miami Beach.
On January 25, 2013, Commission Libbin submitted a memorandum (see attached) recommending the City
consider a radius restriction within 500 feet of a hospital or fire station where film and print activity would be
restricted to no more than 5 days per month without neighbor consent.

Proposed Amendments
Februaty 6, 201 ~ ___ .,, ___ .,.,, _______ _ ___ ,, _____ Page 5
The Administration, the Production Industry Council and other interested parties all agree that amendments
were needed in the Film and Print Guidelines to tighten the requirements. As such, significant changes have
been made to the Film and Print Guidelines that substantially have drafted and agreed to by all parties. The
only outstanding issue left to resolve is whether to allow up to 10 days of film and print activity per month
without neighbor consent or to limit this to 5 days as desired by Mr. Friedman.
The proposed amendments to the Film and Print Guidelines are being presented as a companion item on
today's agenda for the City Commission's consideration.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends adopting the recommended ordinance amendments on first reading and
schedule the second reading and public hearing for March 13, 2013.
