Adopt the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
On October 24, 2012, the City Commission referred a discussion regarding hotels in
residential neighborhoods to the Land Use and Development Committee (LUDC). On
December 19, 2012 the Land Use Committee referred an Ordinance prohibiting hotel
uses within the West Avenue and Palm View areas to the Planning Board for
consideration.
The subject Ordinance was first scheduled to be considered by the Planning Board on
April 3, 2013. However, due to a defect in the notice, the matter was required to be re-
noticed for the May 28, 2013 meeting. Additionally, the subject Ordinance was bi-
furcated into a separate Ordinance for the Palm View area and a separate Ordinance for
the West Avenue area.
On September 11, 2013, the City Commission approved the Ordinance at First Reading
and set a Second Reading Public Hearing for October 16, 2013.

West Avenue Hotel Uses

ANALYSIS
Page 2 of 4
Historically, hotels did exist along the bay side of West Avenue. However, the
development of the bay front since the 1960's has been almost exclusively residential,
characterized by high-density high-rise apartment buildings. The West Avenue bayfront
corridor, between 6th Street and 151h Terrace, is zoned RM-3 multifamily high-density
residential, while the remainder of the West Avenue corridor is zoned RM-1 and RM-2.
The RM-3 and RM-2 districts include both apartments and hotels as permitted uses.
The 1998 citywide down zoning, which conformed development regulations to the
existing neighborhood characteristics, placed a greater focus on reducing the oversized
scale, massing and height of new construction, relative to the established, built context.
However, these down zoning efforts did not consider that potential hotel uses might be
problematic within the residential uses in the subject area.
The development of the Mondrian hotel at 1100 West Avenue was the first new hotel to
be introduced in the RM-3, West Avenue bayfront corridor since the 1960's. As a
proposed Neighborhood Impact Establishment (over 199 persons occupancy content,
with entertainment) the hotel was reviewed by the Planning Board for Conditional Use
approval. The Planning Board approved the Conditional Use permit with restrictions on
various aspects of their operations. Those restrictions include limitations on hours of
operation, sound systems, outdoor speakers, deliveries and loading zones. In addition to
the Mondrian, other hotels are in the development process within the West Avenue
corridor, as well as on Meridian Avenue between 17 1h Street and the Collins Canal (Palm
View area).
The subsequent history of relations between the Mondrian hotel and the residents of the
surrounding neighborhood has been problematic, and the compliance with the
conditional use permit has been at issue. The Planning Board has reviewed the case
through progress reports. Discussions at these hearings have included resident
testimony of problems of noise, bus parking, deliveries and loading, and at least one
adjacent resident has been able to photograph delivery trucks stopped and blocking
traffic lanes. The Planning Board may act to modify or revoke a conditional use if
repeated noncompliance is an issue, but this is based primarily on actual code
enforcement violations. The compliance record of the Mondrian indicates few violations
over the past two or three years, and has not warranted further Planning Board action.
Purely from the standpoint of economic development and the extremely important
hospitality industry, The Mondrian Hotel is a significant investment and an asset to the
City. However, there is concern from residents regarding the potential for proliferation of
hotel uses in what is predominantly a residential corridor.
Planning Department staff has previously recommended that a total ban on hotel uses in
the residential zoning districts in the West Avenue corridor be approached with caution,
due to potential legal complications, as well as the potential for creating legal 'non-
conforming' uses. The Land Use Committee referred the matter to the Planning Board
with a recommendation to prohibit hotels in the West Avenue neighborhood. The
Ordinance transmitted by the Planning Board reflects this direction.
While the Ordinance was pending before the Planning Board, different neighborhood
groups were in discussion with existing hotel operators in the West Avenue corridor.
These discussions addressed the impact that a ban on hotels would have, as well as the
negative of impacts of accessory uses. The proposed Ordinance reflects some aspects
of the aforementioned discussions, including clarifying that existing hotels and accessory
uses, which may become legal non-conforming, can retain their status going forward,
539
Commission Memorandum
West Avenue Hotel Uses

due to the substantial investment in the property.
Page 3of4
Additional modifications have been incorporated into the Ordinance that further address
concerns of affected operators regarding the grandfathering of non-conforming uses.
These include the ability to re-introduce a hotel use after the property was converted to a
conforming residential use, provided that the property was licensed as a hotel before
May 28, 2013 and that the subsequent residential use does not exist for more than three
(3) years. The Planning Board concluded that a 3 year window to revert back to a
previously established, though non-conforming, hotel use is a fair amount of time for an
affected property owner to be able to absorb any potential loss of revenue associated
with an unsuccessful residential venture.
While not opposed to the 3 year rule proposed, as indicated previously in the process,
staff is not in favor of allowing a non-conforming use to continue in perpetuity, in the
event such use was discontinued and replaced by a conforming use. Such a
modification would substantially contravene Chapter 118, Article IX of the land
Development Regulations of the City Code, pertaining to 'Nonconformances'.
As part of the Planning Board review process, staff also suggested other areas that may
be worthy of discussion, including:
• Establishing a Conditional Use requirement for hotels and accessory uses
proposed in the West Avenue district.
• Stricter regulation of allowable 'Accessory Uses', including placing defined limits
on occupancy loads, seating and hours of operation.
• A prohibition on outdoor seating facing a street or sidewalk, as well as on
sidewalk cafes.
• Requiring that access to 'Accessory Uses' be from within the confines of the
hotel, via a hotel lobby, and not be directly from the street or sidewalk
• As recommended by the Land Use Committee, creating an 'Applicability' section
of the Ordinance, in order to address existing hotel uses.
It is also important to note that the proposed prohibition of hotels within the West Avenue
corridor would not supersede the allowances and incentives associated with the 'West
Avenue Bayfront Overlay'. This particular area was created in order to incentivize the
retention, renovation and preservation of existing, low scale structures. One of the key
mechanisms for this overlay district is the ability to convert eligible, existing structures, to
hotel or motel uses, in accordance with the standards, requirements and procedures of
the overlay district.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The Planning Board reviewed the subject Ordinance on June 25, 2013, and transmitted
it to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 5 to 0.
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 is
not expected to have any tangible fiscal impact.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject Ordinance.
