Item Summary/Recommendation:
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 (F.S.) which went into effect October 1, 2009. Section 327.46, F.S. encourages local
governments to establish boating restricted areas where needed.
This item was presented to the City Commission at their regularly scheduled December 12, 2012 meeting. During
discussion of the proposed Ordinance, Commissioner Wolfson expressed a concern with larger "No Wake Zones" and the
item was subsequently referred to the Land Use and Development Committee. The Land Use and Development
Committee met on February 13, 2013 and discussed this item. The Committee recommended the Ordinance, with the
minor modifications presented to the Committee at its meeting.
In summary, the northern bound of the proposed slow speed and idle speed no wake zones west of the Sunset Harbor
Marina have been reduced. Previously, the proposed zones extended 300 feet north of the northern bound of the Sunset
Harbor Marina. The northern bound of the currently proposed slow speed minimum wake zone is a westward extension of
the northern bound of the Sunset Harbor Marina. The northern bound of the idle speed no wake zone has been reduced by
150 feet-so that the 300 foot radius of the idle speed zone has been cropped at 150 feet north of the Sunset Harbor
Marina. Please see the attached map.
The proposed Ordinance still protects the waters surrounding the public access boat ramp within the Maurice Gibb
Memorial Park and the blind corner created by the Sunset Harbor Marina with idle speed no wake zones. The remaining
proposed idle no wake speed zones are necessary to protect waterway users from large wakes thrown by passing vessels.
This is especially true given the types of waterway uses in this area, which include stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and
other small watercraft.
Advisory Board Recommendation:
On September 24, 2012, the Neighborhoods Committee held a discussion relative to this ordinance and unanimously
voted to transmit the proposed ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation. On October 9, 2012,
the Marine Authority held a discussion relative to this ordinance and unanimously voted to transmit the proposed ordinance
to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation

Financial Impact Summary: The proposed Ordinance should not have a significant fiscal impact upon the City, as this
Ordinance would only require installation of "idle speed no wake" (no wake) and "slow speed minimum wake" (slow speed)
signs. Considering that the Marine Patrol station is adjacent to the area there is no increase in enforcement costs.

BACKGROUND
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 (F.S.) which went into effect
October 1, 2009. Section 327.46, F.S. authorizes local governments to establish boating restricted
areas where needed. The statute does, however, place specific limitations on where and for what
purposes boating restricted areas can be established. The statute identifies zones that be established
with state review, zones that can be established without state review, as well as areas which can be
designated for the purpose of public safety. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWC) is the agency responsible for conducting the aforementioned state review.
CITY COMMISSION MEETING -DECEMBER 12, 2012
This item was presented to the City Commission at their regularly scheduled December 12, 2012
meeting. During discussion of the proposed Ordinance, Commissioner Wolfson expressed a concern
with larger "No Wake Zones" and the item was subsequently referred to the Land Use and
Development Committee.

COMMITTEE REVIEW
On September 24, 2012, the Neighborhoods Committee held a discussion relative to this Ordinance
and unanimously voted to transmit the proposed Ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable
recommendation.
On October 9, 2012, the Marine Authority held a discussion relative to this Ordinance and unanimously
voted to transmit the proposed Ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation.
The Land Use and Development Committee met on February 13, 2013 and discussed this item. The
Committee recommended the Ordinance, with the minor modifications presented to the Committee at
its meeting.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
In summary, the northern bound of the proposed slow speed and idle speed no wake zones west of the
Sunset Harbor Marina have been reduced. Previously, the proposed zones extended 300 feet north of
the northern bound of the Sunset Harbor Marina. The northern bound of the currently proposed slow
speed minimum wake zone is a westward extension of the northern bound of the Sunset Harbor
Marina. The northern bound of the idle speed no wake zone has been reduced by 150 feet-so that the
300 foot radius of the idle speed zone has been cropped at 150 feet north ofthe Sunset Harbor Marina.
Please see the attached map.
The proposed Ordinance still protects the waters surrounding the public access boat ramp within the
Maurice Gibb Memorial Park and the blind corner created by the Sunset Harbor Marina with idle speed
no wake zones. The remaining proposed idle no wake speed zones are necessary to protect waterway
users from large wakes thrown by passing vessels. This is especially true given the types of waterway
uses in this area, which include stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and other small watercraft.
On March 13, 2013, the City Commission passed the Ordinance on first reading and the Administration
is presenting the item for consideration on 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 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
this Ordinance would only require installation of "idle speed no wake" (no wake) and "slow speed
minimum wake" (slow speed) signs. Considering that the Marine Patrol station is adjacent to the area,
there is no increase in enforcement costs.
CONCLUSION
The waters surrounding the City of Miami Beach are one of the City's greatest sources of enjoyment.
The proposed restricted wake zone ordinance presents a proactive tool for increasing the safe
enjoyment of this City resource. The City should certainly make use of every avenue possible for
increasing quality of life for residents and minimizing risks to safety. Further, this type of ordinance is
specifically authorized by Section 327.46, F.S. for boating safety reasons.
The Administration recommends approval of the Ordinance on second reading.
