A REFERRAL TO THE NEIG
TO DISCUSS COMMERGIAL USE PERMIT FEE FOR GITY.OWNED
PROPERTY AND CITY PARKS FACILITIES
BACKGROUND
Section 82-1 of the Miami Beach City Code addresses conducting business on streets, parks or
other public property and enforcement and penalties. Currently, private commercial instruction
for a fee is being conducted on City owned properties. While the intent of an active lifestyle is
supported, there is a need to legitimize these private instructors as their activities, especially if
done incorrectly, could impact the safety of the participant, persons nearby and expose the City
to unnecessary liability. Many other municipalities throughout the United States, and locally,
have established a similar permit application process and fee in order to properly legitimize the
specific instruction on City owned property. By managing such activities, the City is not only
able to better monitor what instruction is going on, and where, but also screen applicants for
proper training, certificates, insurance and other pe(inent information.
Staff briefed the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee at their August 21 , 2013 meeting as
this proposed process was discussed during a department revenue item for the FY 201312014
City Budget. lt was further explained that the City Code, as currently written does not allow for
any commercial use of, and/or for profit business venture to be permitted on City property
without City authorization. City Administration recommends the establishment of a process and
fee to legitimize and manage fitness, training and other outdoor professional services on City
managed facilities, parks and beaches. Therefore, this item is being referred to the
Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee for further discussion.
