R5G-Amend Chapter 100 Green Business Certification -Libbin-COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
Amending the Energy Economic Zone ("EcoZone") Ordinance to include Miami-Dade County's Green
Business Certification as eli ibili criteria to receive the EcoZone Pro ram tax incentives.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Enhance the environmental sustainability of the community.
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): According to the 2012 Customer Satisfaction
Survey, half of the business owners (49%) thought Miami Beach was a better place to run a business than
other cities; only 13% thought of Miami Beach as a worse place to run a business. Results in 2012 were
very similar to 2009, yet better than results in 2005, when only 37% of business owners thought that Miami
Beach was a better place to run a business. Results were fairly similar across business zones.
Item Summary/Recommendation: SECOND READING I PUBLIC HEARING
In 2009, the Florida Legislature created the Energy Economic Zone pilot program Chapter 2009-89, Laws of Florida
(House Bill 5013, 2009) for the purpose of developing a model to help communities cultivate green economic
development, encourage renewable electric energy generation, manufacture products that contribute to energy
conservation and green jobs, and other activities related to energy efficiency and land use planning. The City of
Miami Beach was selected as a pilot community.
In 2011, the legislature passed, and the Governor signed additional legislation for the EEZ pilot programs regarding
incentives (Chapter 2011-223, Laws of Florida (House Bill879, 2011). Under that law, Miami Beach had to adopt an
ordinance establishing an EEZ incentive program.
The City's existing EcoZone ordinance which was passed and adopted on 3126/12 was intended to keep the program
simple and minimize the resources needed for implementation and administration of the program; to keep
administration ofthe program efficient; and to make the program friendly and not burdensome for the applicants. To
this end, the determination of whether or not a business has met certain thresholds of energy efficiency and
sustainability is determined by their participation in already established programs. Currently the following businesses
are eligible for the incentives approved by the State of Florida: LEED certified projects: Green Lodging
Establishments: or Businesses which achieve an ENERGY STAR Rating of 50 or higher.
As part of the Sustainability Committee's ongoing review process of the EcoZone program during its 4/15/2013 and
5/21/13 meetings, the committee approved iincorporating Miami-Dade's Green Business Certification as additional
eligibility criteria to receive incentives in the EcoZone program. This additional criterion was also approved by the
Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee at their 6/26/2013 meeting. This amendment {reviewed and approved
by the legal department) has the potential to help facilitate not only the expansion of the pilot EcoZone program into
the rest of Miami-Dade county, but also the initial processing of EcoZone applications by the County's Economic
Resources Office, as the incentives are exactly the same as those currently being processed for the Enterprise Zone.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve a motion accepting the
recommendation of the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee and adopt the revised Ordinance to
include Miami-Dade County's Green Business Certification Program as eligibility criteria to receive the
EcoZone Program tax incentives.

BACKGROUND
In 2009, the Florida Legislature created the Energy Economic Zone pllot program Chapter
2009-89, Laws of Florida (House Bill 5013, 2009} far the purpose of developing a model to
help communities cultivate green economic development, encourage renewable electric
energy generation, manufacture products that contribute to energy conservation and green
jabs, and other activities related to energy efficiency and land use planning.
The Florida Department of Community Affairs designated the City of Miami Beach and
Sarasota County as the "Energy Economic Zone Pilot Program Communities." The City of
Miami Beach was specifically designated as the "Urban Service Area: City Redevelopment
Program" model. Intended to provide a model for the development of energy-efficient land use
patterns, the program models include strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
cultivate green economic development, encourage renewable electric energy generation, and
promote product manufacturing that contribute to energy conservation and green jobs. Once
designated, a community receives technical assistance from the Department of Economic
Opportunity, Division of Strategic Business Development (formerly the Office of Tourism,
Trade and Economic Development}, the Office of Energy (formerly the Governor's Office of
Energy and Climate Change) and the Florida Department of Transportation. The intended
result is a series of program models that could serve as a model far Florida's communities.
Through the application process, the City designated the entire municipality as the Energy
Economic Zone. With a land area of seven square miles and a 2008 population estimate of
94,040 persons, this densely populated urban area averages about 13,400 people per square

mile. As a compact metropolitan locale, the city lends itself to urban design served by a highly
connected street and trail system designed for multiple modes of transportation. In addition,
opportunities emerge to provide for more efficient use and reuse of infrastructure.
One of the main reasons that the City of Miami Beach was designated was due to the
comprehensive efforts to create and implement the Sustainability Plan and its associated
initiatives. The Sustainability Plan also serves as the Energy Economic Zone Work Plan.
In 2011, the legislature passed, and the Governor signed, additional legislation for the EEZ
pilot programs regarding incentives (Chapter 2011-223, Laws of Florida (House Bill 879,
2011 ). Under that law, Miami Beach must adopt an ordinance establishing an EEZ incentive
program that provides, at a minimum, the following:
o Boundaries of the Energy Economic Zone, with a provision allowing a change in
boundaries by ordinance amendment;
o Energy-efficiency standards; and
o Eligibility criteria for applicants seeking state and local incentives within the EEZ.
House Bill 879 provides that a governing authority (Miami Beach) with jurisdiction over an
Energy Economic Zone may provide no more than $300,000 in state incentives in any state
fiscal year. If the $300,000 incentive cap is not fully used, the unused amount may be carried
forward for no more than five (5) years.
STATE TAX INCENTIVES
The State of Florida incentives provided by the EcoZone ordinance became available on July
1, 2012, and include the following tax incentives:
• Provides a refund for sales taxes paid on the purchase of certain building materials, up
to $5,000 or 97 percent of the tax paid. For projects where at least 20 percent of the
employees live in the enterprise zone, the refund is the lesser of $10,000 or 97 percent
of the tax paid.
• Provides a refund for sales taxes paid on the purchase of certain equipment, up to
$5,000 or 97 percent of the tax paid. For projects where at least 20 percent of the
employees live in the enterprise zone, the refund is the lesser of $10,000 or 97 percent
of the tax paid
• Provides a sales and use tax credit for up to 30 percent of wages paid to new
employees who live within the enterprise zone.
• Provides a refund for sales taxes paid on the purchase of certain business property, up
to $5,000 or 97 percent of the tax paid per parcel of property, which is used exclusively
in an enterprise zone for at least 3 years.
• Provides 50 percent sales tax refund for donations made to local community
development projects.
• Provides 50 percent sales tax exemption to qualified businesses located within an
enterprise zone on the purchase of electrical energy.
Available state corporate income tax incentives for enterprise zones include:

EcoZone ORDINANCE
The City's existing EcoZone ordinance which was passed and adopted on 3/26/12 is intended
to keep the program simple and minimize the resources needed for implementation and
administration of the program; to keep administration of the program efficient; and to make the
program friendly and not burdensome for the applicants. To this end, the determination of
whether or not a business has met certain thresholds of energy efficiency and sustainability is
determined by their participation in already established programs. Currently the following
businesses are eligible for the incentives approved by the State of Florida:
• LEED certified projects;
• Green Lodging Establishments designated by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection; or
• Businesses which achieve an ENERGY STAR Rating of 50 or higher in each of the
buildings that are the subject of the Energy Economic Development Zone application
and attach to the application a report from the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
program verifying the ENERGY STAR rating.
The EcoZone ordinance provides for approval and revision of the Program Guidelines by
Resolution, and further recommends that the Sustainability Committee review the Energy
Economic Zone program within six (6) months of adoption and annually thereafter to
determine if any revisions should be recommended to the City Commission.
As part of the Sustainability Committee's ongoing review process of the EcoZone program
during its 4/15/2013 and 5/21/13 meetings, the committee approved incorporating Miami-
Dade's Green Business Certification as an additional eligibility criteria to receive incentives in
the EcoZone program. This additional criteria was also approved by the Neighborhood/
Community Affairs Committee at their 6/26/2013 meeting. This amendment (reviewed and
approved by the legal department) has the potential to help facilitate not only the expansion of
the pilot EcoZone program into the rest of Miami-Dade county, but also the initial processing of
EcoZone applications by the county's Regulatory and Economic Resources Office, as the
incentives are exactly the same as those currently being processed by the office for the
Enterprise Zone.
Miami-Dade's Green Business Certification program assists businesses reduce their operating
costs and decrease their carbon footprint by implementing proven sustainable/green practices
such as water/energy conservation and waste reduction. The participation is free, however the
business must be: in compliance with all applicable regulations, a valid Florida
Corporation/Miami-Dade County business, have a valid occupational license and must obtain
a minimum score on the program's checklist. The businesses complete an online self-audit
worksheet, are interviewed after attaining a minimum score, and then undergo a verification
inspection which includes follow up inspections to confirm compliance. Since the inception of
the program, 672 businesses have applied and been reviewed, with 15 businesses including 4
hotels being certified.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve a motion
accepting the recommendation of the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee and adopt
the revised Ordinance to include Miami-Dade County's Green Business Certification Program
as el~· · 'lity riteria to receive the EcoZone Program tax incentives.
