Additionally, the contract renewals are applicable to the contract period only and do not alter other terms
and conditions of the contract or the scope of the procurement. Any changes to the scope of the original
contract shall be presented under a separate item individually or require a new procurement process
altogether.
The purpose of this item is to request authority to renew the competitively solicited contract(s) for routine

BACKGROUND
As is customary, many of the City's agreements resulting from competitive solicitations include
renewal clauses that allow for the extension of contract terms for a certain number of renewal
periods beyond the original contract term, as may be stipulated in the solicitation or resulting
contract. The renewal periods allow the City to continue to acquire the necessary goods and
services from reputable contractors at prices established through competitive solicitations. ln its
due diligence process for consideration of contract renewal options, the Administration has
considered: cost considerations, including any increases to the CPI-U index by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics indicating changes in the supply market pricing conditions, contractor
performance and risk management considerations (e.9., insurance and bonds, as applicable).
Additionally, the contract renewals are applicable to the contract period only and do not alter
other terms and conditions of the contract or the scope of the procurement. Any changes to the
scope of the original contract shall be presented under a separate item individually or require a
new procurement process altogether.
The purpose of this item is to request authority to renew the competitively solicited contract(s)
for routine operational requirements listed herein which are eligible for renewal as stipulated in
each contract's solicitation. The justification for renewing the listed contract(s) is included with
the contract information.

REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE
DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PARKING GARAGE
AT THE 27TH STREET AND COLLINS AVENUE PARKING LOT
BACKGROUND
Walker Parking Consultants, lnc. is in the process of conducting a parking study for Middle
Beach. The Collins Avenue corridor between 23'd & 41st street is an area that is undergoing
significant redevelopment. Preliminary results showthat parking occupancy atthe 27th Street
and Collins Avenue Municipal Lot P55 was at 94o/o and higher, with some exceptions during
a weekday noon count and a Saturday count at 10:00 AM, showing occupancy at 90% and
87% respectively. On-street parking in the area was even higher, with evening counts
ranging between 94o/o and 111o/o occupancy, due to vehicles parked in non-metered spaces
and vehicles waiting for parking.
ANALYSIS
Municipal Parking Lot P55 has 120 parking spaces. Given the high parking demand in the
area, this lot would be a great location for construction of a multi-story parking garage with
ground floor retail space. lnterest has been expressed by more than one entity, including a
national pharmaceutical company, to lease such space. lt is recommended that this garage
be built and owned by the City, which will produce revenue from leased retail space and
parking fees. Being a City owned property;joint venture partners are neither necessary nor
recommended.
CONCLUSION
The Administration is requesting referral to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for
further/irection on this item.

GENERAL ADVERTISING SIGN FOR A PLAYGROUND AT GRESPI PARK
LOCATED AT 7801 CRESPI BOULEVARD, MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA.
BACKGROUND
On December 17, 2014, the City Commission adopted Resolution # 2014-28872, authorizing
the acceptance of a sponsorship donation from KaBOOM!, lnc., for the Community Built
Playground project to build a new playground at Crespi Park with the active support and
involvement of the community. To achieve this purpose, the City of Miami Beach has entered
into a Community Partner Playground Contract (Attachment "A") with KaBOOM! lnc. and
JetBlue to secure funds not to exceed $100,000 for the construction of this playground. ln
exchange for this donation, the City will contribute $8,500 towards the purchase of playground
equipment, will process all related permits, will demolish the playground currently onsite, and
will assume responsibility for the maintenance of the playground facility once built. ln addition,
the project will require the active participation of approximately 75 volunteers along with
entertainment to motivate participants on Build Day. To support this effort, the lrie Foundation
will take an active role by providing the required volunteers and the entertainment needed for
Build Day estimated to take place on March 19,2015.
Pursuant to Section 1.(f) entitled , Signageof the Community Partner Playground Contract, "The
City shall allow the names and logos of KaBOOM!, the lrie Foundation, and the Funding
Partner, as well as its name to be displayed on permanent playground signage, which shall be
substantially in the form provided to the Community Partners during the application process and
shall be 12 % inches wide by 30 % inches tall and mounted on poles in a mutually agreed
location." The specifications of the proposed signage are provided as Attachment "B".
Miami Beach City Code Section 138-73 entitled, "General advertising signs", states, "No general
advertising sign shall be constructed, erected, used, operated or maintained in the city." The
Administration is seeking a waiver of development requirements from the Planning Board in
order to fulfill this element of the contract, as the purpose of the sign is not to provide
advertisement but to acknowledge the valuable contribution done by KaBOOM! lnc. JetBlue and
the lrie Foundation to the City of Miami Beach by providing a free playground to a community
that is greatly in need of a playground renovation.
CONCLUSION
mends the item be referred to the Planning Board for consideration.

SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING RD-
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
MODIFYING THE ADJUSTED
FAMILY DISTRIGTS
CHAPTER 142 OF THE CIry CODE
GRADE OF REQUIRED YARDS !N SINGLE
ADMINISTRATION RECOMM ENDATION
Refer the proposed Ordinance Amendment to the Planning Board for consideration and
recommendation.
BACKGROUND
On September 17,2014, at the request of Commissioner Malakoff, the City Commission referred a
discussion to the Land Use Committee regarding proposed amendments to the maximum elevation
of required yards in reference to increased seawall height requirements (ltem C4B). On November
5,2014, the Land Use Committee discussed proposed amendments and continued the discussion
to the December 10,2014 meeting. On December 10, 2014 the Land Use Committee discussed
the proposed amendments and, due to a separate discussion regarding the possible modification
of recently adopted regulations regarding seawall heights, continued the discussion to a date
certain of January 21,2015.
On January 21, 2015, the Land Use Committee recommended that the proposed Ordinance be
transmitted to the Planning Board for consideration.
ANALYSIS
Currently, within single family districts, the maximum elevation of a required yard is limited to no
higher than 'adjusted grade', which is the midpoint between the minimum required flood elevation
and 'grade'. Grade is the sidewalk elevation at the center of the property. For example, if grade is
4' NGVD, and the minimum flood elevation is 8' NGVD, then adjusted grade is 6' NGVD. ln this
instance the maximum elevation of a required yard could not exceed 6' NGVD.
The limitation on the elevation of a required yard helps to ensure that a new house is not
constructed on a 'pedestal' that is much higher than the grade of an adjacent property. The
proposed amendments will address these concerns by allowing portions of required rear yards for
waterfront properties to be elevated to the minimum required flood elevation, while retaining
limitations on the maximum elevation of required side and front yards, where transitions to
neighboring property elevations is critical.

Commission Memorandum
Referral to Planning Board - SF Elevated Yards
February 11, 2015 Page 2 of 4
A single family home constructed today will have a life expectancy of over 50 years, and in every
case the elevation of the yards is tied closely to and designed as an integral component of
accessory structures including pools and decks. Additionally, as new homes are required to be
constructed substantially higher than grade, due to increasing minimum flood elevation
requirements, the transition to accessory pools, decks, and cabanas becomes complicated. lf for
example all of these structures are designed based upon a lower seawall height and in a few years
the City requires a retrofit of existing seawalls that are now designed to accommodate a future
higher elevation, this would also require raising all of such accessory structures to at or above the
future seawall height. Allowing the higher yards now will reasonably 'future-proof these areas to
accommodate higher seawall heights in the coming years. Because the proposed amendments
also have transition area requirements for yard elevations adjacent to existing properties with a
lower elevation, such higher elevations will not be as overwhelming to neighboring properties as
they otherwise could be.
The proposed amendments also envision a changing, more elevated City over time, with
contextually appropriate requirements based also upon the average grade elevation of abutting
properties. For example, under the proposed Ordinance, a proposed new home constructed next
to a more recent home (which constructed the required yards up to the adjusted grade elevation,
as now permitted), would be allowed to build up the required side yards and rear yard to 30 inches
above adjusted grade.
The alternative, of allowing the entire rear or side yards to be raised to the flood elevation, would
result in overbearing retaining walls when viewed from existing properties with older homes. For
example, there are portions of the City where the sidewalk elevation is located at 3' NGVD and the
minimum flood elevation is located at 10'NGVD. ln this instance, just raising the yard to flood
elevation would result in a 7 foot tall retaining wall along the property line, with a minimum 42 inch
safety fence or wall on top of that, or approximately 10.5 feet high as viewed from an abutting
property with older home where the site was not yet elevated.
The proposed amendments would also allow abutting property owners, through the submission of
concurrent Building Permits, to agree on a higher elevation than would otherwise be allowed (up to
the minimum required flood elevation). ln this instance the height of any walls or fence along the
jointly elevated grade would be measured from the new grade elevation, as such height is relative
to the adjacent grade and would not negatively impact either neighbor.
Previously, concerns have been expressed with a disproportionate amount of non-pool hardscape
being located in a rear yard, especially when located at an increased elevation. Also, concerns
have been raised with respect to the impact that larger pools and decks are having on the ability to
adequately retain water on site. ln order to address this, the proposed amendment requires that
when located above adjusted grade, the water portion of a swimming pool may count towards 50%
of the landscaped pervious open space requirement, provided that adequate infrastructure is
incorporated into the design of the pool to fully accommodate on-site storm water retention.
SUMMARY
Below is a summary of the proposed changes within the attached Ordinance:
r Definitions have been added for adjusted grade and average grade:
o Grade, adusted means the midpoint elevation between grade and the minimum required
flood elevation for a lot or lots.
84
Commission Memorandum
Refenal to Planning Board - SF Elevated Yards
February 11,2015 Page 3 of 4
o Grade, average means the average grade elevation calculated by averaging spot
elevations of the topography taken at 10 foot intervals along the property lines.
Varying maximum elevations, based upon the elevation of the abutting properties, are
proposed as follows:
1. Front Yard. The maximum elevation within a required front yard shall not exceed
adjusted grade, or 30 inches above grade, whichever is greater.
2. lnterior Srde Yards (between the front setback line and rear property line). The maximum
elevation for each required side yard shall be calculated according to the following:a. When the average grade of adjacent lot is lower than adjusted grade, the
maximum elevation shall not exceed adjusted grade, or 30 inches above grade,
whichever is greater.
b. When the average grade of adjacent lot along the abutting side yard is equal
or greater than adjusted grade, the maximum elevation within the required side yard
shall not exceed 30 inches above adjusted grade.c. When abutting a vacant property, the maximum elevation within the required
side yard shall not exceed 30 inches above adjusted grade.d. Notwithstanding the above, when abutting property owners have jointly
agreed to a higher elevation, both interior side yards of the abutting properties may
be elevated to the same higher elevation through the submission of concurrent
building permits, not to exceed the minimum required flood elevation. ln this
instance the maximum height of any fences or walls along the adjoining property
lines, constructed in accordance with Section 142-1132 (h), Allowable
encroachments within required yards, shall be measured from the new average
grade of the required side yards.
3. Side Yard Facing a Sfreef. The maximum elevation within a required side yard facing a
street shall not exceed adjusted grade or 30 inches above grade, whichever is greater.
4. Rear Yard. The maximum elevation for a required rear yard, (not including portions
located within a required sideyard or sideyard facing the street), shall be calculated
according to the following:
a. Waterfront. The maximum elevation shall not exceed the minimum required flood
elevation.
b. Non-waterfront. The maximum elevation shall be calculated according to the
following:i. When the average grade of adjacent lot along the abutting rear yard is lower
than adjusted grade, the maximum elevation shall not exceed adjusted grade, or 30
inches above grade, whichever is greater.ii. When the average grade of adjacent lot along the abutting rear yard is equal
or greater than adjusted grade, the maximum elevation within the required rear yard
shall not exceed 30 inches above adjusted grade.iii. When abutting a vacant property, the maximum elevation within the required
rear yard shall not exceed 30 inches above adjusted grade.iv. Notwithstanding the above, when abutting property owners have jointly
agreed to a higher elevation, both rear yards of the abutting properties may be
elevated to the same higher elevation through the submission of concurrent building

permits, not to exceed the minimum required flood elevation. ln this instance the
maximum height of any fences or walls along the adjoining property lines,
constructed in accordance with Section 142-1132 (h), Allowable encroachments
within required yards, shall be measured from the new average grade of the
required rear yards.
5. ln all instances where the existing elevation of a site is modified, a site shall be
designed with adequate infrastructure to retain all storm water on site in accordance with all
applicable state and local regulations.
ln no instance shall the maximum elevation of a required yard exceed the minimum flood
elevation.
. Thirty inches above grade was included as a grade change of 30 inches or less would not
require a guardrail or railing. Limiting the higher elevations to the portion of the rear yard that is
internal to the site (not including the areas within the required side setbacks), allows for a more
appropriate transition area to existing neighboring properties, which are often only slightly
elevated above the sidewalk elevation.
. The current regulations allowing pool water to count toward the minimum 7Oo/o of a required
rear yard being sodded or landscaped pervious open space are proposed to be modified.
UPDATE
On January 21,2015, the Land Use and Development Committee recommended that the proposed
Ordinance be referred to the Planning Board. ln addition to the foregoing, the draft Ordinance
attached also includes the following modifications recommended by the Land Use Committee:
1. The location of 'abutting' side and rear yards has been clarified;
2. The pervious are requirements and water portions of swimming pools have been updated to
expressly contain on-site water retention requirements.
3. The minimum on-site water retention requirements for elevated yards have been further
clarified.
CONCLUSION
ln accordance with the January 21, 2015 recommendation of the Land Use and Development
Committee, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the
Ordinance Amendment to the Planning Board.

On January 14, 2015, at the request of Commissioner Wolfson, the City Commission referred a
discussion to the Land Use Committee regarding general height restrictions in the CD-3 districts.
On January 21, 2015, the Land Use Committee discussed the item and recommended that an
Ordinance be transmitted to the Planning Board for consideration.
ANALYSIS
Currently, the maximum height limit for properties located in the Architectural District, and zoned
CD-3 (Commercial, High lntensity) is 5 stories / 50 feet. Attached is a copy of Section 142-337 of
the Code, pertaining to the development and height regulations in the CD-3 district.
Within a more particular area of the City, bounded by 17th Street and Lincoln Road, between
Collins Avenue and James Avenue (see attached map), a proposal has been put forward by a
property owner to consider increasing the maximum height within this defined overlay to 7 stories /
75 feet. This proposal is to accommodate the proposed new construction of a parking structure,
with accessory retail and restaurant space, on a lot located on the east side of James Avenue, and
currently functioning as a surface parking lot.
SUMMARY
On January 21, 2015, the Land Use and Development Committee, after much discussion,
recommended an Ordinance amendment to allow for a modest increase in height for properties
zoned CD-3 and located in the Architectural District be referred to the Planning Board. However,
some concern was expressed by the Committee as it pertains to the intensification of the site
owned by the proposer, as well as the potential for increased height on other properties within the
overlay.

Commission Memorandum
Referral to Planning Board - CD3 Height Limits
February 11,2015 Page 2 of 2
While supportive of studying this amendment further at the Planning Board level, the
Administration recognizes the concerns expressed regarding increased height within an area
consisting of lower buildings. lt should be noted, though, that immediately outside this proposed
overlay, the current, and maximum building heights permitted, do vary. Specifically, to the
immediate north along 17th Street, new buildings are permitted to be 8 stories / 80 feet.
The proposer of the Ordinance change seeks to develop a parking structure, with accessory retail
and restaurant uses. As the floor area proposed could be accommodated within 5 stories, if a
portion of the existing building on the east side of the property is demolished, the proposal seeks to
redistribute allowable development rights. ln this regard, the existing surface parking lot proposed
for development is one of the few lots that can accommodate a multi-story parking structure within
the immediate area. Such a significant increase in parking could benefit the multitude of hotels in
the immediate area that have little to no parking on site.
ln this regard, another option might be to limit the proposed height increase to structures built and
operated primarily as parking facilities. The following language could also be considered, if referred
to the Planning Board:
For lots fronting on James Avenue, bounded by 1lh Sfreef to the North and Lincoln Road to
the South, the Historic Preseruation Board may allow new construction, from the ground up,
to have a maximum height of 7 stories / 75 feet, provided the proposed building contains at
least five floors of parking.
CONCLUSION
ln accordance with the January 21, 2015 recommendation of the Land Use and Development
Committee, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer an
Ordinance Amendment to the Planning Board.

DATE: February 11,2015
SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD -
PERTAINING TO REVISIONS TO LOT SPLIT AND FORM OF OWNERSHIP
ADM! NISTRATION REGOMM ENDATION
Refer the proposed Ordinance Amendment to the Planning Board for consideration and
recommendation.
BACKGROUNDd;Iffif, 2013, at the request of Commissioner Tobin, the City Commission referred a
discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee, pertaining to the section of the City
Code governing Unities of Title and Covenants in Lieu of Unity of Title. On April g, 2014, the Land
Use and Development Committee recommended that an Ordinance be referred to the Planning
Board to amend the requirements and standards for a 'Covenant-ln-Lieu' by providing a definition
for a "Unified Development Site." On September 10, 2014, the City Commission referred the
subject Ordinance to the Planning Board.
On September 23,2014, the Planning Board (by a vote of 6-0) transmitted the proposed Ordinance
to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation. On October 22, 2014, the City
Commission, at First Reading, referred the Ordinance back to the Land Use Committee for further
discussion and input.
On January 21, 2015, the Land Use Committee discussed the subject Ordinance, as well as a
companion Ordinance related to Lots Splits and Form of Ownership. The Land Use Committee
recommended that the proposed Ordinances be transmitted to the Planning Board for
consideration.
ANALYS!S
During the review of the modifications proposed for Section 118-5 under separate Ordinance,
pertaining to Covenants in Lieu and Unified Development Sites, staff noticed that an inconsistency
with the requirements of Section 118-321, pertaining to a "Division of Land and Lot Splits" existed,
as it pertains to covenants in lieu of unity of title. ln order to address this, a companion Ordinance,
with proposed modifications to Section 118-321, is attached. Specifically, text has been added

CONCLUSION
ln accordance with the January 21, 2015 recommendation of the Land Use and Development
Committee, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the
attached Ordinance Amendment to the Planning Board.

variations in uses and development rights; and
WHEREAS, the Land Development Regulations of Miami Beach have been promulgated
to provide for compatibility of new development within the built context of the City of Miami
Beach; and
WHEREAS, the Land Development Regulations contain certain provisions that govern a
covenant in lieu of unity of title (otherwise known as a "declaration of restrictive covenants in lieu
of unity of title") and unified development sites; and
WHEREAS, the Land Development Regulations also regulate the splitting of an
improved or unimproved developable site, or a unified development site; and
WHEREAS, as currently worded, Section 118-321 of the Land Development Regulations
requires a lot split procedure to be utilized even if the only action is to change the form of
ownership of the developable site or unified development site from a single entity to several
entities. via a covenant in lieu of unity of title; and
WHEREAS, a lot split is intended to regulate the possible separate and district
ownership of the property that was once a larger site, and authorizing those separate uses and
separate ownership with no legal or construction connection between the lots; and
WHEREAS, a covenant in lieu of unity of title, maintains the entire parcel intact; requires
all parties to the covenant to agree to develop as one lot; requires cross access easements to
ensure the entire parcel is utilized as one legal entity; and requires consent of all the parties to
the covenant as to any development; and
WHEREAS, requiring a lot split simply because of the change of ownership style to allow
more than one owner through a covenant in lieu of unity of title, is an unnecessary process for a
property owner to have to undergo and does not protect the City or its building sites from lot
splits, but rather creates additional bureaucracy, without any safeguards; and

the City C1
REGARDING SEAWALL CONDITIONS, ENCROAGHMENTS INTO PUBLIC PROPERTY
FOR PRIVATE USE.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach is surrounded by approximately 60 miles of sea wall, which enables
protection from storm surges, sea level rise and soilerosion prevention. These seawalls fall under
City, State and/or private jurisdiction.
During recent inspections, it has been discovered that a number of seawalls are suffering from
structural damage and/or are in deteriorating conditions. lt has also been noted during the
construction permitting process (those applying for a City permit are required to provide a property
survey in order to identify property/City limits), that many property owners' existing sea walls
encroach into public property by as much as four feet, without a permit on record. This essentially
has provided public property for private use.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the referral to the Land Use & Development Committee
for discussion and further direction.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor Philip Levine and Commissioners
FROM: MichaelGrieco,Commissioner
DATE: February 11,2015
SUBJECT: Referral to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee regarding
modification to the code relating to seawalls - in particular - to allow enforcement in
multifamily districts, not just single family
I am asking that the following item be referred to the next Neighborhood/Community Affairs
Committee meeting. I would like to explore a modification to the City Code, Chapter 66,
relating to seawalls. ln particular, I am seeking to modify the Code to Allow Code
Compliance to enforce regulations relating to docking, etc., in multifamily districts. Currently
the Code provides enforcement authority to Marine Patrol and Code Compliance in solely
single-family districts. The proposed revision and discussion would concentrate on a
modification to Section 66-151, of the City Code; to enhance definitions contained therein
and allow for enhanced enforcement. ln pafticular, the Code would be amended to provide
Compliance to remove boats, jet skis "parked" or moored by multifamily seawalls that have
been abandoned along seawalls within multifamily zoning districts..
lf you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Danila Bonini at extension 6457.

Amendment
1) Add language to the agreement that the facilhy will be made more accessible to the public
2) That the $10 million be spent within Miami Beach.
End
Kathie G. Brooks, lnterim City Manager, introduced the item.
Commissioner Tobin informed that he had met with Cathy Leff, Director of The Wolfsonian Museum, and she assured
him, and is in the audience to confirm, that the StO million from Miami-Dade County will be used to make the
Wolfsonian on Washington Avenue more accessible to the public. He asked tha City Attorney to draft an itern so that
the City is assured that the $150,000 that the City is giving for the planning, as well as the $10 million The lVolfsonian is
also receiving from iMiami-Dade County is to be used to make that facility more accessible. City Attorney's Office to
handle.
Discussion held.
Jorge Gornez, Assistant City Manager, clarified that the $fO million capitat bonds the Wolfsonian is getting from the
County is to be spent in Miami Beach, and the main goal is to create {with funds from the City of Miaml Eeachi the
facillties master plan so that they can increase the size of the publlc exhibition space in The Wolfsonian.
Jose Smith, City Attorney, thought that the concern expressed at Finance committee was whether the $75,000 or
S150,000 was necessary in order to obtain the $10 million from the County.
Commissioner fobin explalned that in corresponding with the County's CulturalArts Department he was informed that
plans are underway, and that there is $t.Z mitlion allocated for soft costs out of the $10 million, so the $150,000 is not
necessary, and could come from the Wolfsonian itself. He thinks the Wolfsonlan needs to be made into more of a public
%Tt
119
amenity; hovrever, he is satisfied if there ls a tight agreement in place that $10 milllon will be spent on making that
facllity more accessible to the public.
Jose Smlth, City Attorney, clarified that the two conditions the City is asking are: 1) add language to the agreement that
the facility ls to be more accessible to the public, and 2)that the $10 million be spent within Miami Beach,
Discussion held.
Commlssioner Libbin asked Ms. Leff lf the bonds have actually been sold already.
Ms. Cathy Leff, Director, The Wolfsonian Museum, explained that the money will not be available untll September 2013,
so there might be funds for bonds already sold that could be used for the project. She clarified that they are eligible to
apply for the funds in September 201.3.
Discussion continued.
Commissioner Libbin stated that the goal in mind was to have a great project for $10 million and helping to address
sorely needed'improvements in the Washington Avenue vicinity, and he hopes this project will be a catalyst to other
owners on Washington Avenue to rnake improvements.
Ms. Leff explained that some of the money might be spent in the annex, and she did not want everyone to think it will
be only spent on L0th Avenue, but the idea is to turn the 10th Avenue into a more much publicly accessible place and it
willbe a great catalyst forWashington Avenue.
Discusslon continued,
Commissioner Weithorn asked the Administration lf administrative expenses including administrative fees, if those are
transferred to lnternal Servlce Funds.

TECHNOLOGY INC.
xG Technology Proposal Summary
The Current Situation: Miami Beach Vulnerability
The City of Miami Beach Emergency Management Department is highly dependent on the public cellular LTE
network for its data and video communications needs. While commercial cellular networks tend to work well
during times of normal levels of use, they provide no guaranteed level of service or priority - the very things
that Miami Beach first responders need in an emergency. They are also highly susceptible to outages during
natural disasters and manmade events like active shooters or terrorist attacks. Moreover, in many cases,
commercial networks become overwhelmed during large-scale public events. Because Miami Beach
welcomes over 13 million visitors a year and hosts numerous highly-attended public events, like the Wine &
Food Festival, Miami Marathon, and in particular, the Miami Beach Centennial taking place this year, public
users could choke and compete for the very same public LTE networks that emergency responders rely upon.
The xMax Solution: Mitigating the Risk to Lives and Property
The xG Technology xMax system is a high-speed private wireless network engineered from the ground up to
satisfy the video and data needs of Miami Beach's Emergency Management department. Unlike commercial
cellular systems, xMax has been designed to provide exceptional resilienry and redundancy in unpredictable
environments and during fluid situations. lt is a network that only first responders can access, so regardless
of the crisis or disaster that occurs, they will always have a secure, high-speed connection for all their data
and video requirements. xMax is easy to set up and be can quickly deployed as a fixed, mobile or
expeditionary system, allowing it to be custom-tailored to first responder mission needs.
xG's Offer to Miami Beach
Beyond the high reliability and rapid-deployment capabilities the xMax system provides, xG Technology
offers the following to further mitigate the risk to the City of Miami Beach:
r xMax is a hijhly-affordable system: xMax is all-lP system designed for easy interoperability. lt supports
all smartphones, tablets, and laptops, so Miami Beach's first response teams can continue to use the
devices, applications and databases they are familiar with, which keeps costs under control.
o Elimination of technical and financial risk to Miami Beach: xG is highly confident in its solution and
ability to meet the needs of Miami Beach, and thus will provide a Performance Bond to the City
guaranteeing that the xMax system will perform as promised.
r A rellable local partner: xG Technology is a Florida-based company that has based its entire operational,
development and deployment teams in South Florida for over 10 years. At the same time, xG is an
aggressive, nimble organization that dedicates significant resources to working closely with customers
like Miarni Beach to deploy, test and validate its system at every step, ensuring that it meets and
surpasses customer requirements during every phase of business engagement.
ln summary by partnering with xG Technology, the City of Miami Beach will have the benefit of a significantly
improved emergency response capability, greater protection and safety to the its residents and visitors, and
the unwavering support and service of a committed local firm at its disposal,

Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
February 11,2015
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING
201 5116 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
COMMISSION OF THE CITY
THE CITY'S FISGAL YEAR
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
Each year, the Mayor and City Commission adopt the City's funding and legislative
priorities that will be pursued by the City's representatives in Washington D.C. during the
annual Congressional session. The proposed priorities include project, authorization,
and policy requests which will continue to evolve as the Congressional process
continues. The proposed Federal Legislative Agenda below includes the following items:
Coastal Flooding/Sea Level Rise
The City of Miami Beach urges the Federal Government to identify and fully fund
programs to address coastal flooding caused by sea level rise, climate change, high
tides, and any other source. The City needs resources and funding support to deal with
flooding issues, including improvements and upgrading the stormwater system to include
stormwater pump stations, injection wells, and other technology that increases the
capacity flow of the stormwater system. Additional support to address coastal flooding
including dune system restoration and maintenance, and improving seawalls is also a
necessary component to achieve full infrastructure resilience. Areas with high
groundwater elevation and drainage basins that are barely above sea level should be a
priority, since flooding occurs in many of these basins during periods of high tides when
there has not been any rain. Recurring flooding has a significant environmental, health
and economic impact, causing businesses to be inaccessible and resulting in the
additional cost of replacing and repairing damaged property. The City of Miami Beach
urges the federal government to provide funding for a Federal lnteragency Partnership
related to Sea Level Rise. Additionally, the City strongly supports the establishment of a
National Catastrophe Fund.
Transportation
On December 16, 2014 the President signed the Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2015. The bill includes a $500 million authorization for National
lnfrastructure lnvestments, referred to by the U.S. Department of Transportation
(USDOT) as TIGER Discretionary Grants. The City is seeking funding through this
authorization for the following priority transpiration projects:

Commission Memorandum
February 11,2015
Federal Legisl ative Priorities
1. Beach Corridor Transit Proiect Development (Rapid Transit). The roadways between Miami and Miami Beach are typically heavily
congested. This high ridership corridor has been identified as a
candidate for consideration for premium transit to address east-west
directional travel demands.. The project will serve the cities of Miami and Miami Beach along a 6.5
mile corridor crossing Biscayne Bay to link downtown Miami to Miami
Beach.
2. Enhanced Transit Service (Trollev)
3. lntellioent Transportation Svstem. To relieve traffic congestion and improve traffic flow by retrofitting
intersections with Real Time Signal Control Technology, installing
cameras on high traffic demand/high incident zones and installing travel
time devices along arterial roadways.
Beach Renourishment
The City urges the Army Corps of Engineers to initiate this project and apply for the
necessary permits from the State of Florida to secure the necessary amount of domestic
sand. The City may also pursue options at the federal level to obtain sand from other
sources.
Miami Beach Convention Center
There is a need for federal support for high-impact tourism industry infrastructure
investments, especially in attracting an increased share of worldwide meeting and
convention business. lnfrastructure, such as convention and meeting facilities and related
support systems, including transportation access and energy efficiency are critical to
enhancing the United States' competitiveness in this international marketplace. Providing
support, especially for this large, transformational project will provide a significant return
on investment. The Miami Beach Convention Center is South Florida's third largest
economic engine after Miami lnternational Airport and the Port of Miami. Discussions
about enhancements to the Miami Beach Convention Center have been ongoing for
almost ten years, culminating in a plan of action that was agreed upon by the City of Miami
Beach and Miami-Dade County, in conjunction with interested stakeholders, to develop a
long-term vision and master plan for this regional facility.
The City is seeking to identify opportunities for Federal partnership related to:
o Economic Development with the Department of Commerce
o Water, Sewer and Transportation lnfrastructure with the Department of
Transportation/Convention Center Access and Infrastructure lmprovements
with the Departments of Transportation and Commerceo Security System with the Department of Homeland Security which will be a
Model Security System for Destination Cities.o Sustainability, LEED, Renewable Energy and Green Building Components
with the Department of Energy and the EPA;
o Debt and Equity Funding Opportunities through New Market Tax Credits and
the Department of Treasury;
157
Commission Memorandum
February 11,2015
Federal Legi sl ative Priorities
Education
The City is seeking to identify funds for educational programs through a coordinated
grant development campaign to include funding and legislation. Focus will be on Middle
School AchievemenUNautilus Middle School and STEM education (science, technology,
engineering and mathematics).
North Beach Revitalization
The City proposes to lead an effort to develop a comprehensive plan for revitalization of
the North Beach area of the City. This area is considered blighted and the revitalization
effort is designed to review existing conditions, prepare a vision for the area's future, and
design an implementation strategy to move towards the vision. Federal funds, in the
area of Economic Development are needed for this major revitalization effort.
Flood lnsurance
The City seeks to secure relief from Flood lnsurance changes inordinately affecting
Miami Beach residents, primary and secondary home-owners, and real estate markets.
Atlantic Greenway Network
The City seeks authorization of $12 million for the Atlantic Greenway Network in the new
Transportation Authorization Bill to provide continued funding for alternative modes of
transportation that connect the workforce and consumers with employment, cultural and
tourism centers, parking facilities, parks, and schools. Effective modes of transportation
are crucial to the City's continued economic success. The return on investment of
alternative modes of transportation in dense urban areas is significant since these areas
have already demonstrated the local population's acceptance of the modes.
Municipal Bonds
The City supports the current tax exemption for municipal bonds, and opposes its
elimination. The City further opposes the proposed cap of the exemption at28o/o.
Local Funding Programs
The City opposes funding reductions to programs such as the Community Development
Block Grant, HOME Housing Partnerships, Energy Efficiency Block Grant, Urban Area
Security lnitiative, Hazard Mitigation and Pre-Disaster Mitigation programs. The City will
monitor, report and advocate for full funding of budget allocations which fund social
services and other programs provided by Miami Beach organizations. The City strongly
encourages and supports the direct allocation of federal funding to local governments,
without state and/or county pass-through. The City further feels that this position should
be a key element of the White House's new Urban Policy. The City will pursue funding
under the following specific grant programs/agencies: 1) EDA - Department of
Commerce; 2) Environmental Protection Agency, and 3) Homeland Security.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the City's
fiscal year 2015116 federal legislative agenda.

ADM!NISTRATION RECOMMENDAT!ON
Approve the resolution.
BACKGROUND
On December 9, 2009, the Administration recommended that the Mayor and City Commission
authorize the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select a pool of investment banking
firms to provide Undenruriter Services for the issuance of various long-term municipal bonds.
RFP No. 15-09i10 for Underwriter Services for a Five Year Period, with five one year renewals
was issued on January 27, 2010, with an opening date of February 24, 2010. The Mayor and
City Commission accepted the City Manager's recommendation to create a pool of 15 firms for
undenruriting services at thelr meeting on April 14,2010.
The selected firms participate in the bond issues by assisting the City, its Chief Financial Officer
and its Financial Advisor, Julie Santamaria RBC Capital Markets, with the development of
financing structures, preparation of preliminary and final official statements, bond resolutions,
and other documentation as may be required. The undenruriters price, market and sell the
bonds to investors in municipal securities.
Additionally, firms appointed as the senior managing undenrvriter are required to provide the
services listed below throughout the proposed engagement. Co-managing undenarriters provide
assistance as requested and support in the marketing, distribution and undenrvriting of the
assigned transactions. The City, at its sole discretion, may select one or more firms to serve as
senior manager or co-manager from the undenarriting team for each of its bond financings. The
City reserves the right to assign less than all of the members of the underwriting pool for a
particular financing, and reserves the right to remove any undenarriter from participation in the
underwriting syndicate if the underwriter and the City are unable to agree on any provision of
162
the bond purchase contract. All fees are contingent upon the issuance of the proposed bonds.
The required services include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Participate in drafting of all bond documents, including the Official Statement.
2. Assist in preparation and discussions with rating agencies and bond insurers, if
requested.
3. Make recommendations for the proposed financing, including, but not limited to, the
timing of the sale, the overall sales approach, the structure of the bonds, the call
provisions, and the use of credit enhancement.
4. Lead the underwriting team in marketing and distributing the bonds to both retail and
institutional investors.
5. Underwrite the financing based upon terms and conditions agreed to by both the City,
financial advisor, and the underwriters in the Bond Purchase Agreement.
6. Assist with the closing of the financing, including reviewing all closing documents and
providing a post-financing report to the City which highlights the key characteristics of
the financing.
ANALYS!S
The process to select firms to serve as a senior or co-manager for a particular issue involves a
review of work previously assigned to the various firms during the term of the pool, experience
in and commitment to Florida municipal finance, the capability of a firm to senior manage
complex credit structures, the size of the bond issue to be sold, and the various markets that the
firm has access to for marketing and distribution. A firm's response to other business requests,
such as the City's Line of Credit, and resulting commitment to the City is also considered. The
list of firms is recommended by the City Manager following consultation with the City's Chief
Financial Officer and Financial Advisor. Since the time that the 15 firms were originally selected
for the underwriting pool, two firms no longer have public finance representatives in Florida and
one firm has withdrawn. All of the 12 remaining firms are included in the recommended teams
for the 2015 financings. The firms proposed are as follows:

of inq & Urban
Supporting Data (Surveys, EnvironmentalScan, etc.: N/A
Item Summary/Recommendation :
As an entitlement community, the City receives an annual allocation of HUD funding. HUD requires the City (and all
participating jurisdictions) to submit a Five-Year Consotidated Plan establishing the strategic framework upon which the City
will utilize funOs. The Consotidated Plan is refined each year through the required submission of the One-Year Action Plan
which specifically defines the projects and activities funded by that year's HUD allocation. Historically, the City's CDBG funds
have been used for public services, housing, code enforcement, and public facilities improvements; while HOME funds have
been used for affordable rental housing and first-time homeownership.
The City must submit the FY 2015/2016 One-Year Action Plan lor HUD's approval by August 14, 2015. As such, it is
necessary to begin the screening process for proposed activities. The process includes: release of the RFP; review by staff to
determine comflete/eligible RFP submissions; evaluation/scoring/recommendations by the Affordable Housing Advisory
Committee (AHAC); review of AHAC recommendations with the Administration; 30-day Comment Period to receive public
input; City Commission approval; and, finally, submission to HUD.
FY 201512016 funding allocations have not been announced by HUD. However, based on the HUD-imposed timeline for
preparation and submission of the Action Plan, lhe Administration recommends authorizing the City Manager to issue the
ittached Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for eligible activities to be funded from the City of Miami Beach FY 201512016
entilement aliocations from HUD. Based on current projections, the RFPs will be issued with a 5% reduction from actual FY
2014t2015 allocations. The RFPs will be issued with a qualification that the award of funds is subject to the actual HUD
funding allocations.

ALLOCATIONS FROiN THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN
DEVELOPMENT (HUD).
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach is a U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-designated
entitlement community as determined by the decennial census information on population growth
lag, age of housing stock, and poverty. The City was designated a Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program entitlement jurisdiction in 1975, and has been receiving HOME
lnvestment Partnerships (HOME) Program funds since the program's inception in 1992. While
the CDBG Program provides funding for public services, housing, and capital projects; the
HOME Program provides funding specifically designated for affordable housing to strengthen
public/private housing partnerships and expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and
affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families.
As an entitlement community, the City receives an annual allocation of HUD funding. To receive
the funds, HUD requires the City (and all participating jurisdictions) to submit a Five-Year
Consotidated Ptan which establishes the strategic framework upon which the jurisdiction will
utilize its funds. The Consolidated Planis refined each yearthrough the required submission of
the One-Year Action P/an which specifically defines the projects and activities funded by that
year's HUD allocation. Historically, the City's CDBG funds have been used for public services,
housing, and public facilities improvements; while HOME funds have been used for affordable
rental housing and first-time homeownership.
ANALYSIS
The City must submit the FY 2015/2016 One-Year Action Plan to HUD for its approval by
August 14, 2015. To allow enough time to complete the development process of the Action
TO:

HOME and CDBG RFP Release

Plan, it is necessary to begin the proposal screening process as soon as possible. The process
includes the following steps:
o Release of Request for Proposals(RFP) for 3O-days. lnitial RFP review by staff to determine complete/eligible submissions
o Evaluation/Scoring/Recommendations by the Affordable Housing Advisory
Committee(AHAC) absorbing the functions previously performed by the Community
Development Advisory Committee for CDBG-funded activities. Review of AHAC recommendations with the Administrationo 30-day Comment Period to receive public input. City Commission approval. Submission to HUD
The City has not yet been notified of the amount of funding that it will receive for FY 201512016.
HUD will nonetheless hold the City to the required timeline for completion and submission of the
Action Plan. Therefore, staff is proposing the issuance of the CDBG and HOME RFPs indicating
estimated funds available and a qualifying statement that the award of funds is subject to the
actual allocations of HUD.
For FY 201412015 the HUD allocations were $935,610 and $460,426 for CDBG and HOME,
respectively. Based on the current trend toward funding reductions in HUD programs, staff is
recommending release of the RFPs with five percent (5%) reductions in the amount of funds
available. This would mean available funds of $888,829 for CDBG and $437,404 for HOME.
Last year, the City set aside funds for specified internally-managed activities (i.e. North Beach
Fagade lmprovement Program; emergency rent, utility and food assistance). These funds were
excluded from consideration for competitive award. The Administration seeks to continue this
practice and include the necessary funding to install security cameras at North Shore Open
Space Park, a public park serving North Beach, the City's designated CDBG entitlement area.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends authorizing the City Manager to issue the attached Requests
for Proposals (RFPs) for eligible activities to be funded from the City of Miami Beach FY
201512016 CDBG and HOME entitlement allocations from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD).

Notice of Funding Availability (1 of 3)
The City of Miami Beach is an entitlement grantee of federal funds. lt receives an annual allocation of funding for the HOME
lnvestment Partnership Program (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City is entitled to these funds because its population, housing
and/or demographic characteristics meet the formula requirements needed to obtain funding.
HUD requires the City complete a five-year Consolidated Plan that includes a housing assessment, market analysis and
assessment of community development needs. The Consolidated Plan is meant to address the needs of low- and moderate-
income persons and families, including homeless individuals. The Plan establishes the City's program priorities, goals and
objectives for community development programs and sets the framework for subsequent One Year Action Plans that
describe specific activities that will be funded through the City's HUD-funded grant programs.
As an entitlement grantee, the City develops its own programs and funding priorities. However, it must give maximum
feasible priority to activities which:
I Benefit low- and moderate-income persons and households;
, Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or
i Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a
serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community. Urgent needs are defined as those
which have no other financial resources available.
The City of Miami Beach is projecting the availability of the following FY 2075/16 funds subject to the availability and

Rehabilitation of existing multi-family buildings to provide safe, decent, sanitary rental housing to income-eligible tenants.
Construction activities must commence within 12 months of entering into a contract with the City for HOME Program funds.
Projects may be proposed to provide all HOME-assisted units or mixed-income units.
. Acquisition and rehabilitation of existine multi-familv buildines (more than 4 units)
Existing multi-family buildings may be acquired and rehabilitated to provide safe, decent, sanitary rental housing to income-
eligible tenants. Construction activities must commence within 12 months of entering into a contract with the City for HOME
Program funds. Projects may be proposed to provide all HOME-assisted units or mixed-income units.
. Acquisition and rehabilitation of existins scattered units
Single-family housing (including condominium units) may be acquired and rehabilitated to provide safe, decent, sanitary

HOME-Assisted Units
Proposed projects which contain all HOME-assisted units or mixed-income units will be considered. Refer to CPD Notice 98-
02 "Allocating Costs and ldentifying HOME Assisted-Units in Multi-Unit Projects". The number of HOME-assisted units in a
project is based on the number of units that are acquired or rehabilitated with HOME funds. These units are subject to rent,
occupancy, per unit subsidy limits, and resale/recapture restrictions.
Period of Affordability
Under the HOME Program, HOME-assisted units must meet certain Minimum Affordability Requirements beginning after
project completion. However, the City of Miami Beach requires that the affordability period be extended for a minimum term
of thirty (30) years. The affordability requirements apply without regard to the term of any loan or mortgage or the transfer
of ownership. To enforce the affordability and income eligibility requirements, the City will require the property owner to
execute a Mortgage and Security Agreement, and a Promissory Note, which will be recorded in the public records as a lien
against the property.
HOME Income timit Set-Aside Requirements
The HOME Program requirements for unit occupancy and affordability apply at the time of occupancy or at the time HOME
funds are invested, whichever is later, and throughout the period of affordability. HUD periodically publishes income limits
for the HOME Program.
At the time of the initial rent-up, housing will qualify as affordable only if the project is configured as follows:
1) At least 20 percent of the HOME assisted rental units must be occupied by families with household income of 50 percent
or less of the Area Median lncome, adjusted for family size; and
2) At least 90 percent of the HOME assisted rental units must be occupied by families with household income of 50 percent
or less of the Area Median lncome, adjusted for family size.

and Low HOME rent units, establishing systems to recertify tenant income on an annual basis, and adjusting rents for over-
income tenants when required.

Priorities
ln order to guide outside agencies that are seeking funding, establish parameters for the project selection process and enable
success in project implementation, the following broadly defined priorities and operational imperatives have been
established in the City's FY 2013-17 Consolidoted Plon and summarized for purposes of this RFP as:

) As this is a reimbursable grant, recipient organizations must have the fiscal capacity to undertake the proposed
project.

demonstrated past financial stability (as evidenced in its past two agency fiscal audits).
, Agency must demonstrate that the use of awarded City funds will ensure the required funding for the proposed
project, i.e. City funds are the last needed to complete the project.

which includes a certified Sources and Uses Summary
) Recipients will be expected to provide matching funds and/or otherwise participate in the cost of their proposed
project

guidelines
+ Recipients must adhere to HUD and City guidelines for procurement of goods and services including professional
services.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (tEEDl
The U.S. Green Building Council is a non-profit community of leaders working to make green buildings available to everyone.
The U.S. Green Building Council developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating
System to encourage sustainable green building and development practices. LEED is a third-party certification program and
the nationally-accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED
promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and
environmental health: 1. Sustainable site developmen! 2. Water savings; 3. Energy efficiency; 4. Materials selection; and 5.
lndoor environmental quality.
LEED is a point-based system where projects earn LEED points for satisfying specific green building criteria. Within each of the
six LEED credit categories, projects must satisfu particular prerequisites and earn points. The six categories include: 1.
Sustainable Sites; 2. Water Efficiency; 3. Energy & Atmosphere;4. Materials & Resources; 5. lndoor Environmental Quality;
and 5. lnnovation in Design.
The number of points the project earns determines the level of LEED Certification the project receives. LEED certification is
available in four progressive levels: 1. Platinum; 2. Gold; 3. Silver; and 4. Certified Environmental benefits.
LEED offers several benefits to the developer, tenant and community including, but not limited to:
. Enhances and protects ecosystems and biodiversity
. lmproves air and water quality
. Reduces solid waste
. Conserves natural resources
. Reduces operating costs
. Enhances asset value and profits
. lmproves employee productivity and satisfaction
. Optimizes life-cycle economic performance
. lmproves air, thermal, and acoustic environments
. Enhances occupant comfort and health
. Minimizes strain on local infrastructure
. Contributes to overall quality of life
The City will award bonus points for projects that include LEED certification as a project outcome.

Uniform Relocation Assistance (URA)
lf a project proposed in response to this RFA includes the purchase of a building or an offer to purchase a building which is
occupied, the tenants are entitled to the benefits provided by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA). The following information is provided to assist the applicant in complying with the
URA.
1. URA preparation needs to start early. A URA notice needs to be given to the Seller when the purchase offer/option is
made.
2. HUD and the City of Miami Beach care about this. Developers who are working on HUD-funded projects need to
understand that the URA is basic consumer legislation that addresses "fairness" issues. Tenants whose living circumstances
are changed by a project - either by higher rents or involuntary moves - must be protected and compensated.
3. The relocation rules are not all one-sided. There are actions that can be taken to control costs and prevent displacement.
These actions include informing tenants about the project, treating them fairly during the process, staging work if it is
feasible, and keeping their rents affordable. Tenants must continue to pay rent and comply with the lease during the
process.
4. Mistakes can be costly. Planning for relocation and tenant concerns is critical because grantees, owners and developers
can alltake actions which can incur a financial liability. Displaced tenants are entitled to 42 ot 50 months of rental assistance
depending on the situation. Many claims exceed 510,000. Although some claims are unavoidable, there is no reason to incur
these costs by failure to follow the rules.
5. Planning is critical. Relocation concerns must be thought out early in the process so decisions about rents, construction
timing and project feasibility can be considered before they are a crisis.
6. Cooperation is Essential. All parties involved in the project must do the right thing in order to make the process work.
The Developer and the City must work together.
7. There are three basic requirements for tenants in rental rehabilitation projects. They must be given timely information
about the pending application. lf the project is approved, they must be advised about any changes that will occur to their
situation. lf they are not advised - and move - they could claim that they were displaced even if that was not intended and
they could be eligible for considerable financial compensation. lf they must be displaced, they must be offered a comparable
replacement unit (as defined by HUD). Moving expenses must be paid. No one can be required to move without 90 days
notice. Tenants who will stay in the property after work is complete must be offered a suitable unit that is affordable to
them.

General HOME Program Requirements (2 of 3)
Labor Standards/Prevailing Wages
Every contract for the construction (or rehabilitation) of housing that includes 12 or more units assisted with HOME funds is

more HOME-assisted housing units. Affirmative marketing consists of efforts to provide information and otherwise attract
eligible persons in the housing market area to the available housing without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, handicap, familial status or national origin. Affirmative marketing requires that entities receiving HOME funds
take every reasonable step to inform and solicit applications from persons in the available housing market who are not likely
to apply for the housing without special outreach and advertising efforts. Entities receiving HOME funds will be required to
comply with the City's affirmative marketing policies and will be required to submit an affirmative marketing plan for the

Section 3
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1958, as amended in L992, requires that economic opportunities
generated by HUD financial assistance for housing and community development programs be targeted toward low and very
low-income persons. Entities receiving HOME funds are required to comply with Section 3 which provides that, to the
greatest extent feasible, opportunities for training and employment shall be given to lower-income residents of Miami Beach,
and that contracts for work in connection with such projects be awarded to business concerns which are located in or are
owned in substantial part by lower income Miami Beach residents.

Housing assisted with HOME Program funds is subject to the requirements of 24 CFR Part 35, as amended, and the Lead-
Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act as amended by Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.
Projects assisted with HOME funds may require notification to tenants, disclosure of lead-based paint information,
identification of defective paint surfaces, treatment of defective surfaces, and response to children with elevated blood lead
levels. On September 15, 1999, U.S. HUD issued the final rule entitled "Requirements for Notification, Evaluation and
Reduction of Lead-Based Hazards in Federally Owned Residential Property and Housing Receiving Federal Assistance". This
regulation sets new requirements to prevent childhood lead poisoning in housing assisted or being sold by HUD and other
Federal agencies.

Notice of Funding Availability (1 of 1)
The City of Miami Beach is an entitlement grantee of federal funds. lt receives an annual allocation of funding for the HOME
lnvestment Partnership Program (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City is entitled to these funds because its population, housing
and/or demographic characteristics meet the formula requirements needed to obtain funding.
HUD requires the City complete a five-year Consolidated Plan that includes a housing assessment, market analysis and
assessment of community development needs. The Consolidated Plan is meant to address the needs of low- and moderate-
income persons and families, including homeless individuals. The Plan establishes the City's program priorities, goals and
objectives for community development programs and sets the framework for subsequent One Year Action Planes that
describe specific activities that will be funded through the City's HUD-funded grant programs.
As an entitlement grantee, the City develops its own programs and funding priorities. However, it must give maximum
feasible priority to activities which:
I Benefit low- and moderate-income persons and households;
+ Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or
I Meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a
serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community. Urgent needs are defined as those
which have no other financial resources available.
The City of Miami Beach is projecting the followingFY 2OL5/L5 funds subject to the availability and allocation by HUD:

Priorities
ln order to guide outside agencies that are seeking funding, establish parameters for the project selection process and enable
success in project implementation, the following broadly defined priorities and operational imperatives have been
established in the City's FY 2OL3-17 Consolidated Plan and summarized for purposes of this RFP as:
) Affordable housing and compliance with Equal Opportunity and Fair Housing Laws in the City of Miami Beach
) Minimize displacement, promote job creation/retention, ensure adequate benefits, encourage private development, and
provide planning and administrative support.
-) Revitalize neighborhoods, remove architectural barriers, eliminate slum and blighted conditions, and encourage the
preservation of historic structures.
Operational lmperatives
ln order to ensure accountability and the judicious use of finite, public resources, the following operational imperatives have
been established in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan and City processes:
) Recipient organizations must have acceptable past and/or current performance on similar projects.
t As this is a reimbursable grant, recipient organizations must have the fiscal capacity to undertake the proposed
project.
t Activities will not be funded unless the organization has developed realistic cost estimates and timelines, and
demonstrated past financial stability (as evidenced in its past two agency fiscal audits).
+ Agency must demonstrate that the use of awarded City funds will ensure the required funding for the proposed
project, i.e. City funds are the last needed to complete the project.
, Organizations requesting funds from more than one agency will be required to submit a Subsidy Layering Review
which includes a certified Sources and Uses Summary
) Recipients will be expected to provide matching funds and/or otherwise participate in the cost of their proposed
project
, Housing development and property improvement programs are expected to use quality, long-lasting methods and
materials that require a minimum of maintenance or upkeep and provide a Physical Needs Assessment for the
proposed project
+ The cost of providing housing or services will be considered in evaluating applications and must meet HUD
guidelines
t Recipients must adhere to HUD and City guidelines for procurement of goods and services including professional
services.
, Funded activities must meet a National Objective within two years of funding award.
Further priority is given to those established housing needs for which there is currently insufficient assistance including:
1 Acquisition for affordable rental housing and low-and moderate-income first-time homebuyers
2 Multi-family Housing rehabilitation
Prioritv will be given to proiects that serve the North Beach area (33141) or predominantlv serve residents of this area.
ln addition, the City will prioritize awards to those projects that align with its Key lntended Outcomes (KtO) as defined in its
current Strotegic Plan .The City's KlOs can be found in its own tab within this workbook.

Guidelines for Evaluating Economic Development Projects (1 of 3)
I 570.209 Guidelines for evaluating and selecting economic development projects.
The following guidelines are provided to assist the recipient to evaluate and select activities to be carried out for economic
development purposes. Specifically, these guidelines are applicable to activities that are eligible for CDBG assistance under
$570.203. These guidelines also apply to activities carried out under the authority of 5570.204 that would otherwise be
eligible under S570.203, were it not for the involvement of a Community-Based Development Organization (CBDO). (This
would include activities where a CBDO makes loans to for-profit businesses.) These guidelines are composed of two
components: guidelines for evaluating project costs and financial requirements; and standards for evaluating public benefit.
The standards for evaluating public benefit are mandatory, but the guidelines for evaluating projects costs and financial
requirements are not.
(a) Guidelines and objectives for evaluating project costs and financial requirements. HUD has developed guidelines that are
designed to provide the recipient with a framework for financially underwriting and selecting CDBG-assisted economic
development projects which are financially viable and will make the most effective use of the CDBG funds. These guidelines,
also referred to as the underwriting guidelines, are published as appendix A to this part. The use of the underwriting
guidelines published by HUD is not mandatory. However, grantees electing not to use these guidelines would be expected to
conduct basic financial underwriting prior to the provision of CDBG financial assistance to a for-profit business. Where
appropriate, HUD's underwriting guidelines recognize that different levels of review are appropriate to take into account
differences in the size and scope of a proposed project, and in the case of a microenterprise or other small business to take
into account the differences in the capacity and level of sophistication among businesses of differing sizes. Recipients are
encouraged, when they develop their own programs and underwriting criteria, to also take these factors into account. The
objectives of the underwriting guidelines are to ensure:
(1) That project costs are reasonable;
(2) That all sources of project financing are committed;
(3) That to the extent practicable, CDBG funds are not substituted for non-Federal financial support;
(4) That the project is financially feasible;
(5) That to the extent practicable, the return on the owner's equity investment will not be unreasonably high; and
(5) That to the extent practicable, CDBG funds are disbursed on a pro rata basis with other finances provided to the project.
(b) Standards for evaluating public benefit. The grantee is responsible for making sure that at least a minimum level of public
benefit is obtained from the expenditure of CDBG funds under the categories of eligibility governed by these guidelines. The
standards set forth below identify the types of public benefit that will be recognized for this purpose and the minimum level
of each that must be obtained for the amount of CDBG funds used. Unlike the guidelines for project costs and financial
requirements covered under paragraph (a) of this section, the use of the standards for public benefit is mandatory. Certain
public facilities and improvements eligible under 5570.201(c) of the regulations, which are undertaken for economic
development purposes, are also subject to these standards, as specified in 5570.208(aXaXviXfX 2 ).
(1) Standards for activities in the aggregate. Activities covered by these guidelines must, in the aggregate, either:
(i) Create or retain at least one full-time equivalent, permanent job per 535,000 of CDBG funds used; or
(ii) Provide goods or services to residents of an area, such that the number of low- and moderate-income persons residing in
the areas served by the assisted businesses amounts to at least one low- and moderate-income person per $3S0 of CDBG
funds used.
City of Miami Beach/
Housing and Community Services219
Annual Federal Entitlement Funds Application - February 2015
Guidelines for Evaluating Economic Development Projects (2 of 3)
(2) Applying the aggregate standards. (i) A metropolitan city, an urban county, a non-entitlement CDBG grantee in Hawaii, or
an lnsular Area shall apply the aggregate standards under paragraph (bX1) of this section to all applicable activities for which
CDBG funds are first obligated within each single CDBG program year, without regard to the source year of the funds used for
the activities. For lnsular Areas, the preceding sentence applies to grants received in program years after Fiscal Year 2OO4. A
grantee under the HUD-administered Small Cities Program, or lnsular Areas CDBG grants prior to Fiscal Year 2005, shall apply
the aggregate standards under paragraph (bX1) of this section to all funds obligated for applicable activities from a given
granU program income obligated for applicable activities will, for these purposes, be aggregated with the most recent open
grant. For any time period in which a community has no open HUD-administered or lnsular Areas grants, the aggregate
standards shall be applied to all applicable activities for which program income is obligated during that period.
(ii) The grantee shall apply the aggregate standards to the number of jobs to be created/retained, or to the number of
persons residing in the area served (as applicable), as determined at the time funds are obligated to activities.
(iii) Where an activity is expected both to create or retain jobs and to provide goods or services to residents of an area, the
grantee may elect to count the activity under either the jobs standard or the area resident's standard, but not both.
(iv) Where CDBG assistance for an activity is limited to job training and placement and/or other employment support
services, the jobs assisted with CDBG funds shall be considered to be created or retained jobs for the purposes of applying
the aggregate standards.
(v) Any activity subject to these guidelines which meets one or more of the following criteria may, at the grantee's option, be
excluded from the aggregate standards described in paragraph (bX1) of this section:
(A) Provides jobs exclusively for unemployed persons or participants in one or more of the following programs:

Guidelines for Evaluating Economic Development Projects (3 of 3)
(M) Creates or retains jobs through businesses assisted in an area pursuant to a strategy approved by HUD underthe provisions of
591.215(e) of this title.
(N) Directly involves the economic development or redevelopment of environmentally contaminated properties.
(3) Standards for individual activities. Any activity subject to these guidelines which falls into one or more of the following
categories will be considered by HUD to provide insufficient public benefit, and therefore may under no circumstances be assisted
with CDBG funds:
(i) The amount of CDBG assistance exceeds either of the following, as applicable:
(A) 550,000 per full-time equivalent, permanent job created or retained; or
(B) 51,000 per low- and moderate-income person to which goods or services are provided by the activity.
(ii) The activity consists of or includes any of the following:
(A) General promotion of the community as a whole (as opposed to the promotion of specific areas and programs);
(B) Assistance to professional sports teams;
(C) Assistance to privately-owned recreational facilities that serve a predominantly higher-income clientele, where the recreational
benefit to users or members clearly outweighs employment or other benefits to low- and moderate-income persons;
(D) Acquisition of land for which the specific proposed use has not yet been identified; and
(E) Assistance to a for-profit business while that business or any other business owned by the same person(s) or entity(ies) is the
subject of unresolved findings of noncompliance relating to previous CDBG assistance provided by the recipient.
(a) Applying the individual activity standards. (i) Where an activity is expected both to create or retain jobs and to provide goods or
services to residents of an area, it will be disqualified only if the amount of CDBG assistance exceeds both of the amounts in
paragraph (bX3Xi) of this section.
(ii) The individual activity standards in paragraph (bX3Xi) of this section shall be applied to the number of jobs to be created or
retained, or to the number of persons residing in the area served (as applicable), as determined at the time funds are obligated to
activities.
(iii) Where CDBG assistance for an activity is limited to job training and placement and/or other employment support services, the
jobs assisted with CDBG funds shall be considered to be created or retained jobs for the purposes of applying the individual activity
standards in paragraph (bX3Xi) of this section.
(c) Amendments to economic development projects after review determinations. lf, after the grantee enters into a contract to
provide assistance to a project, the scope or financial elements of the project change to the extent that a significant contract
amendment is appropriate, the project should be reevaluated under these and the recipient's guidelines. (This would include, for
example, situations where the business requests a change in the amount or terms of assistance being provided, or an extension to
the loan payment period required in the contract.) lf a reevaluation of the project indicates that the financial elements and public
benefit to be derived have also substantially changed, then the recipient should make appropriate adjustments in the amount,
type, terms or conditions of CDBG assistance which has been offered, to reflect the impact of the substantial change. (For example,
if a change in the project elements results in a substantial reduction of the total project costs, it may be appropriate for the
recipient to reduce the amount of total CDBG assistance.) lf the amount of CDBG assistance provided to the project is increased,
the amended project must still comply with the public benefit standards under paragraph (b) of this section.
(d) Documentation. The grantee must maintain sufficient records to demonstrate the level of public benefit, based on the above
standards, that is actually achieved upon completion of the CDBG-assisted economic development activity(ies) and how that
compares to the level of such benefit anticipated when the CDBG assistance was obligated. lf the grantee's actual results show a
pattern of substantial variation from anticipated results, the grantee is expected to take all actions reasonably within its control to
improve the accuracy of its projections. lf the actual results demonstrate that the recipient has failed the public benefit standards,
HUD may require the recipient to meet more stringent standards in future years as appropriate.

3. A description of what owners and/or the Provider will do to inform persons not likely to apply for housing without special
outreach;
4. Maintenance of records to document actions taken to affirmatively market CDBG/HOME-assisted units and to assess
marketing effectiveness; and
5. A description of how efforts will be assessed and what corrective actions will be taken where requirements are not met.
Handicapped Accessibility
The CDBG/HOME regulations also require adherence to the three following regulations governing the accessibility of
Federa I ly-assisted buildings, facilities a nd progra ms.
Americans with Disabilities Act (42 USC L2131; 47 USC L55, ?.OL, 218 and 225): Provides comprehensive civil rights to
individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment, public accommodations, state and local government services and
telecommunications. The Act, also referred to as the ADA, also states that discrimination includes the failure to design and
construct facilities (built for first occupancy after January 25, 1993) that are accessible to and usable by persons with
disabilities. The ADA also requires the removal of architectural and communication barriers that are structural in nature in
existing facilities. Removal must be readily achievable, easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much

actions that create unique financial and administrative burdens or after the fundamental nature of the program. For any
Provider principally involved in housing or social services, all of the activities of the agency - not only those directly receiving
Federal assistance -- are covered under Section 504. Contractors or vendors are subject to Section 504 requirements only in
the work they do on behalf of the Provider or the City. The ultimate beneficiary of the Federal assistance is not subject to
Section 504 requirements.

Contractual Scope of Services ( 4 of 12)
Equal Opportunity
The Provider must comply with the following regulations that ensure equal opportunity for employment and contracting:
Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order L7246, as amended: Prohibits discrimination against any employee or
applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions to effectuate this prohibition
must be included in all construction contracts exceeding 510,000. lmplementing regulations may be found at 41 CFR Part 60.
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968: Requires that, to the greatest extent feasible, opportunities
for training and employment arising from CDBG/HOME funds will be provided to low-income persons residing in the program

area.
Minority/Women's Business Enterprise: Under Executive Orders 7L625, t2432 and 12138, the City and the Provider must
prescribe procedures acceptable to HUD for a minority outreach program to ensure the inclusion, to the maximum extent
possible, of minorities and women, and entities owned by minorities and women, in all contracts (see 24 CFR 85.36(e)).
Labor Requirements
The Provider must comply with certain regulations on wage and labor standards. ln the case of Davis-Bacon and the Contract
Work Hours and Safety Standards Acts, every contract for construction (in the case of residential construction, projects with
eight or more units) triggers the requirements.
Dovis-Bocon and Reloted Acts [40 USC 276(N-7): Ensures that mechanics and laborers employed in construction work under
Federally-assisted contracts are paid wages and fringe benefits equal to those that prevail in the locality where the work is

take measures to avoid hiring debarred or suspended contractors or Sub-Recipients and conflict-of-interest situations. Each
is briefly discussed below.
City of Miami Beach/
Housing and Community Services225
Annual Federal Entitlement Funds Application - February 2015
Contractual Scope of Services ( 5 of 12)
Procurement: For the City, the procurement standards of 24 CFR 85.36 apply. For non-profit organizations receiving
CDBG/HOME funds, the procurement requirements at 24 CFR Part 84 apply.
Conflict of lnterest: The CDBG regulations require grantees (the City), state recipients and Sub-Recipients (the Provider) to
comply with two different sets of conflict-of-interest provisions. The first set of provisions comes trom24 CFR Parts 84 and
85. The second, which applies only in cases not covered by 24 CFR Parts 84 and 85, is set forth in the CDBG regulations. Both
sets of requirements are discussed below.
- The provisions at 24 CFR 85.35 and 24 CFR 84.42 apply in the procurement of property and services by grantees (the City),
state recipients, and Sub-Recipients (the Provider). These regulations require the City and the Provider to maintain written
standards governing the performance of their employees engaged in awarding and administering contracts. At a minimum,
these standards must:
- Require that no employee, officer, agent of the City or the Provider shall participate in the selection, award or
administration of a contract supported by CDBG/HOME if a conflict-of-interest, either real or apparent, would be involved;
- Require that employees, officers and agents of the City or the Provider not accept gratuities, favors or anything of monetary
value from contractors, potential contractors or parties to Sub-Agreements; and
- Stipulate provisions for penalties, sanctions or other disciplinary actions for violations of standards.
HOME-funded projects must comply with 24 CFR 92.356.
A conflict would arise when any of the following has a financial or other interest in a firm selected for an award:
- An employee, agent or officer of the City or the Provider;
- Any member of an employee's, agent's or officer's immediate family;
- An employee's, agent's or officer's partner; or
- An organization that employs or is about to employ an employee, agent or officer of the City or the Provider.
- The CDBG/HOME regulations at 24 CFR 570.611 governing conflict-of-interest apply in cases not covered by 24 CFR 85.35
and 24 CFR 84.42. These provisions cover employees, agents, consultants, officers and elected or appointed officials of the
grantee (the City), state recipient or Sub-Recipient (the Provider). The regulations state that no person covered who
exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to CDBG/HOME activities or who is in a position to
participate in decisions or gain inside information:
- May obtain a financial interest or benefit from a CDBG activity; or
- Have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement for themselves or for persons with business or family ties.
This requirement applies to covered persons during their tenure and for one year after leaving the grantee (the City), the
state recipient or Sub-Recipient (the Provider) entity.
Upon written request, exceptions to both sets of provisions may be granted by HUD on a case-by-case only after the City has:
- Disclosed the full nature of the conflict and submitted proof that the disclosure has been made public; and
- Provided a legal opinion from the City stating that there would be no violation of state or local law if the exception were
granted.
Debarred contractors: ln accordance with 24 CFR Part 5, CDBG/HOME funds may not be used to directly or indirectly employ,
award contracts to or otherwise engage the services of any contractor or Sub-Recipient during any period of debarment,
suspension or placement of ineligibility status. The City should check all contractors, subcontractors, lower-tier contractors
or Sub-Recipients against the Federal publication that lists debarred, suspended and ineligible contractors.

Contractual Scope of Services ( 5 of 12)
lll. Environmental Requirements
The City is responsible for meeting a number of environmental requirements, including environmental reviews, flood
insurance, and site and neighborhood standards.
Environmental Review
The City is responsible for undertaking environmental reviews in accordance with the requirements imposed on "recipients"
in 24 CFR 58. Reviews must be completed, and Requests for Release of Funds (RROF) submitted to HUD before CDBG/HOME
funds are committed for non-exempt activities. Private citizens and organizations may object to the release of funds for
CDBG/HOME projects on certain procedural grounds relating to environmental review (see 24 CFR 58.70 - 58.771. To avoid
challenges, grantees (the City) and Sub-Recipients (the Provider) should be diligent about meeting procedural requirements.
Flood Insurance
Section 2O2 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 USC 4106): Requires that CDBG/HOME funds shall not be
provided to an area that has been identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as having special flood
hazard, unless: The community is participating in the National Flood lnsurance Program, or it has been less than a year since
the community was designated as having special flood hazards; and Flood insurance is obtained.
!V. Lead-based Paint
On September 15, 1999, the "Requirements for Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in
Federally Owned Residential Property and Housing Receiving Federal Assistance; Final Rule" was published within title 24 of
the Code of Federal Regulations as part 35 (24 CFR 35). The regulation was issued under sections 1012 and 1013 of the
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of L992, which is Title X (ten) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992. Sections 1012 and 1013 of Title X amended the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of
1971, which is the basic law covering lead-based paint in federally associated housing.
The regulation sets hazard reduction requirements that give much greater emphasis to reducing lead in house dust. Scientific
research has found that exposure to lead in dust is the most common way young children become lead poisoned. Therefore,
the new regulation requires dust testing after paint is disturbed to make sure the home is lead-safe. Specific requirements
depend on whether the housing is being disposed of or assisted by the federal government, and also on the type and amount
of financial assistance, the age of the structure, and whether the dwelling is rental or owner occupied.
On April 22,2008, the EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead
poisoning to protect against the hazards created by exposure to lead dust in existing structures built prior to 1978. Under the
rule, all contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care
facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
This rule (40 CFR Part 745) is enforced as of April 22,2010. The rule must be executed by all sub-contractors.

materials at http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/index.cfm. For further information, you may call HUD at (202) 755-1785, ext.
LO4, or e-mail HUD at lead_regulations@hud.gov.
V. Displacement, Relocation, Acquisition and Replacement of Housing
CDBG/HOME projects involving acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition may be subject to the provisions of the Uniform
Relocation Act (UDA). Demolition or conversion of units with CDBG funds may trigger section 104 (d) (also known as the
"Barney Frank Amendment" requirements.)
Vl. Compliance with National Objective
The Provider will ensure and maintain evidence that activities assisted with CDBG/HOME funds from the City of Miami Beach
comply with the primary National Objective, "Benefit to Low and Moderate lncome Persons" and will provide services or
activities that benefit at least 51% low and moderate income persons. A low or moderate-income household is defined as: a

the City-funded project. Furthermore, all other identified funds must be in place prior to the use of HOME funds.

Uniform Relocation Assistance (URA)
lf a project proposed in response to this RFA includes the purchase of a building or an offer to purchase a building which is
occupied, the tenants are entitled to the benefits provided by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA). The following information is provided to assist the applicant in complying with the
URA.
1. URA preparation needs to start early. A URA notice needs to be given to the Seller when the purchase offer/option is
made.
2. HUD and the City of Miami Beach care about this. Developers who are working on HUD-funded projects need to
understand that the URA is basic consumer legislation that addresses "fairness" issues. Tenants whose living circumstances
are changed by a project - either by higher rents or involuntary moves - must be protected and compensated.
3. The relocation rules are not all one-sided. There are actions that can be taken to control costs and prevent displacement.
These actions include informing tenants about the project, treating them fairly during the process, staging work if it is
feasible, and keeping their rents affordable. Tenants must continue to pay rent and comply with the lease during the
process.
4. Mistakes can be costly. Planning for relocation and tenant concerns is critical because grantees, owners and developers
can all take actions which can incur a financial liability. Displaced tenants are entitled to 42 or 50 months of rental assistance
depending on the situation. Many claims exceed 510,000. Although some claims are unavoidable, there is no reason to incur
these costs by failure to follow the rules.
5. Planning is critical. Relocation concerns must be thought out early in the process so decisions about rents, construction
timing and project feasibility can be considered before they are a crisis.
5. Cooperation is Essential. All parties involved in the project must do the right thing in order to make the process work.
The Developer and the City must work together.
7. There are three basic requirements for tenants in rental rehabilitation projects. They must be given timely information
about the pending application. lf the project is approved, they must be advised about any changes that will occur to their
situation. lf they are not advised - and move - they could claim that they were displaced even if that was not intended and
they could be eligible for considerable financial compensation. lf they must be displaced, they must be offered a comparable
replacement unit (as defined by HUD). Moving expenses must be paid. No one can be required to move without 90 days
notice. Tenants who will stay in the property after work is complete must be offered a suitable unit that is affordable to
them.

lead-Based Paint Certification
Applicant: 0
Applicability:
A. The lead based paint rule applies to CDBG-funded housing activities involving construction, purchase and rehabilitation.
B. The following housing rehabilitation activities are excepted:
l. Emergency repairs (but not lead based paint-related emergency repairs)
2. Weatherizing
3. Water andlor sewer hookups
4. lnstallation of security devices
5. Facilitation of tax exempt bond issuances for funds
6. Other single-purpose activities that do not include physical repairs or remodeling of applicable surfaces
7. Other activities that do not involve applicable surfaces and do not exceed 53,000 per unit.
lnspection and Testing Requirements:
The Provider shall be required to test the lead content of chewable surfaces of an apartment building to be rehabilitated, if there is a
family residing in one of the units with a child under seven years of age with an identified elevated blood level condition (concentration of
lead in blood of 25 micrograms per deciliter or greater) and the building was constructed prior to 1978.
Chewable surfaces are defined as all exterior surfaces of a residential structure, up to five feet from the floor or ground, such as: a wall,
stairs, deck, porch, railing, windows or doors that are readily accessible to children under seven years of age, and all interior surfaces of a
residential structure.
Lead content shall be tested by using an x-ray fluorescence analyzer or other method approved by HUD. Test readings of 1 mg/cm or
higher shall be considered positive for presence of lead based paint.
Required Treatment:
Treatment of lead based paint conditions must be included as part of the proposed rehabilitation work. All chewable surfaces in any room
found to contain lead based paint must be treated before final inspection and approval of work. Similarly, all exterior chewable surfaces
must be treated when they are found to contain lead based paint.
Minimum treatment involves covering or removing the painted surfaces. Washing and repainting without thorough removal or covering
does not constitute adequate treatment. Covering can be achieved by adding a layer of gypsum wallboard or fiberglass cloth barrier.
Depending on the wall condition, permanently attached, non-strippable wallpaper may be applied. Covering or replacing trim surfaces is
also permitted. Removal can be accomplished by scraping, heat treatment (infrared or coil type heat guns) or chemicals. Machine sanding
and propane torch use are not allowed.
I hereby acknowledge that I have read the specific requirements for lead based paint contained in this Certification, and understand that
my organization's project eligibility depends upon compliance with the requirements contained in this document.

Certification Regarding Religious Activities
Applicant: 0
ln accordance with First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution - "church/state principles", CDBG assistance may not, as a
general rule, be provided to primarily religious entities for any secular or religious activities.
Therefore, the following restrictions and limitations apply to any provider which represents that it is, or may be deemed to
be, a religious or denominational institution or an organization operated for religious purposes which is supervised or
controlled by or operates in connection with a religious or denominational institution or organization.
A religious entity that applies for and is awarded CDBG funds for public service activities must agree to the following:
1. lt will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of religion and will not limit
employment or give preference in employment to persons on the basis of religion;

services or give preference to persons on the basis of religion;
3. lt will provide no religious instruction or counseling, conduct no religious worship or services, engage in no religious
proselytizing, and exert no other religious influence in the provision of such public services;

sectarian or religious symbols or decorations; and
The funds received under this Agreement shall not be used to construct, rehabilitate, or restore any facility which is owned
by the Provider and in which the public services are to be provided. However, minor repairs may be made if such repairs are
directly related to the public services; are located in a structure used exclusively for non-religious purposes; and constitute, in
dollar terms, only a minor portion of the CDBG expenditure for the public services.
I hereby acknowledge that I have read the specific requirements contained in this Certification, and that eligibility of my
organization's project depends upon compliance with the requirements contained in this document.

COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Advisory Board Recommendation:
Financial lnformation:
lntended Outcome Su
Ensure a viable seawall
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc: The seawall at Muss Park is structurally
Item Summary/Recommendation:
ln December 2013, the City contracted the services of Atkins North America, lnc., to design the
rehabilitation of a 330 linear foot of seawall at Muss Park. An evaluation of the seawall discovered that
the wall had cracks and structural deficiencies, and even some portions of the wall had fallen off. Atkins
North America, lnc. designed a wall with a traditional steel sheet pile system, incorporating tie-back
anchors, The design was completed in May 2014.
ln June 20'14, Public Works staff members attended an engineering conference where they were
introduced to Truline, a manufacturing company specializing in industrial valves. One oi highlights of the
presentation was a hybrid sheet piling system. Staff took special interest in this product for its potential
usage for seawall construction, including the following benefits:
. lt is a steel-reinforced, concrete filled, polymer U-channel that provides the strength of a traditional
wall;. The installation method is efficient and boasts a 50 year service life (a kaditional seawall service
life lasts approximately 30-a0 years); andr The cost estimate to construct a traditional sheet pile system at Muss Park is approximately
$776,000, The cost estimate to construct a Truline hybrid sheet pile system is $390;000,
representing a \Qo/o cost saving for the City.
The proposed hybrid sheet pile system is manufactured by Truline and installed by MAI Engineering
Services. Their experience with using this product in the past few years in the State of Florida has prorren
to be successful. Public Works staff would like to try out a pilot program for the Muss Park seawall, and
execute a contract agreement with MAI Engineering Services to construct the hybrid seawall.
THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS APPROVING THE RESOLUTION.

traditional wall;o The installation method is efficient and boasts a 50 year service life (a traditional seawall
service life lasts approximately 30-40 years); and. The cost estimate to construct a traditional sheet pile system at Muss Park is approximately

Item Summarv/Recommendation :
At its October 24,2012 meeting, the City Commission passed and adopted Ordinance No.2012-3780 and Resolution No.
2012-28041 which provided various regulations concerning electric personal assistive mobility devices (also known as
Segways or EPAMDs). The Ordinance amended Chapter 70, Article ll, Division 2 of the City Code, and in particular, Sections
70-66, 70-67, 70-68, 70-69, 70-70, and Section 7O-71. The Ordinance restricted the speed of EPAMDs to eight (8) MPH on all
sidewalks, sidewalk areas, and bicycle paths, and prohibited the operation of EPAMDS on interior pathways within South
Pointe Park and Collins Park and on the sidewalk on the west side of Ocean Dr. between South Pointe Drive and 1Sth St.
ln addition to City Code regulations contained in Chapter 70 and in the City's Administration Rules, Section 82-438 of the City
Code prohibits wheeled conveyances on the wooden elevated Boardwalk, between 246 and 45s Streets, exceptwhen required
by disabled persons, strollers, or as required by fire, police, ocean rescue, or other city employees and agents as may be
authorized by the City Manager.
On June 11,2014, Ordinance No.2014-3881 was adopted that prohibited the operation of bicycles on Lincoln Road between
9:00 am and 2:00 am. Ordinance 2014-3881 also revised the definitions in Division 2 of Article ll of Chapter 70 of the City
Code to define 'motorized means of transportation" to include "electric personal assistive mobility devices" and all other
devices and means of transportation propelled by other than human power, such as motorized skateboards and skates, but
not those devices defined as a 'vehicle" under state law.
To address additional safety concerns and accidents already experienced in the City, Ordinance No. 2014-3883 was adopted
on July 23,2014 to further amend the provisions in Chapter 70 by incorporating the Administrative Rules into the City Code
and adding stricter penalties for insurance violations for business entities providing rentals, leases, and/ortours. Atthe July23,
2014 City Commission meeting, the Commission refened the matterof EPAMDS and motorized means of transportation to the
Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) for further amendments and to bring an Ordinance back to the City
Commission in October.
Pursuant to the above direction, an Ordinance was presented to the City Commission on Oclober22,2014 and the NCAC on
October 31, 2014. Subsequent to the City Commission meeting on October 22, 2014 and during the NCAC meeting on
October 31,2014, additional modifications to the Ordinance were discussed and recommended by the NCAC. Those
modifications have been incorporated as part of the Ordinance. Additionally, several amendments which had been included in
First Reading were removed at the request of the Ordinance sponsor, Commissioner Jonah Wolfson. The removal of these
items were not included in the NCAC agenda of October 31 , 2014 and were not discussed at the committee meeting but were
included in the red-line handout at that NCAC meeting.
At the November 19, 2014 City Commission meeting, Ordinance No. 2014-3908 was adopted, as amended on the floor, to
include roller skating and in-line skating as prohibited activities on Lincoln Road. At the same Commission meeting, the
Commission requested the Administration to bring back a proposed new Ordinance to the December 17,2014 Commission
meeting. The new Ordinance would address amendments to Section 70-70 to provide responsibilities for businesses and
persons that rent or lease other types of motorized means of transportation, such as motorized skateboards.

BACKGROUND
ln 2007, pursuant to Resolution No. 2007-26695, the City of Miami Beach (City) adopted the
Atlantic Greenway Network (AGN) master plan to create a safer environment for pedestrians
and bicyclists. The AGN proposed a comprehensive network of pedestrian and bicycle facilities
that provide direct access to important destinations within the City, Iinking residential
neighborhoods, commercial centers, and parks. The Beachwalk and Baywalk are major
components of the AGN system and facilitate the use of alternative and sustainable forms of
transportation throughout the City.
The dense urban environment of Miami Beach leads to a high percentage of users competing
for public space, including pedestrian pathways and sidewalks. Recently, the use has increased
with Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Devices (also known as Segways or "EPAMDs") along
the City's Beachwalk, sidewalks, and rights-of-way. Complaints with regard to EPAMD use in
the City have ranged from the speed at which the users pass pedestrians, often without any
warning to the pedestrian; careless and reckless behavior by the users causing congestion and
fear of injury on heavily traveled pedestrian walkways; and collisions with pedestrians causing
personal injuries. ln addition to persons operating EPAMDS, persons that utilize other motorized
means of transportation, as defined in the City Code, such as motorized skateboards, also pose
a safety threat to pedestrians and others who utilize the City's sidewalks and pedestrian ways.
HISTORY REGARDING REGULATIONS
Ordinance No. 2012-3750 and Resolution No. 2012-28041
At its October 24, 2012 meeting, the City Commission passed and adopted Ordinance No.
2012-3780 and Resolution No. 2012-28041 which provided various regulations concerning
EPAMDS. The Ordinance amended Chapter 70, Article ll, Division 2 of the City Code, and in
particular, Sections 70-66, 70-67, 70-68, 70-69, 70-70, and Section 70-71. The Ordinance
restricted the speed of EPAMDS to eight (8) MPH on all sidewalks, sidewalk areas, and bicycle
paths, and prohibited the operation of EPAMDS on interior pathways within South Pointe Park
and Collins Park and on the sidewalk on the west side of Ocean Drive between South Pointe
Drive and 15th Street. Pre-existing City Code provisions prohibited motorized means of
transportation, except for wheelchairs or other motorized devices when used by disabled
persons, in, on, or upon any portion of Lincoln Road Mall from the west sidewalk of Washington
Avenue to the east sidewalk of Alton Road.
Resolution No. 2012-28041 set forth Administrative Rules to address EPAMDS. The
Administrative Rules provided regulations, in addition to those set forth in City Code, for the safe
operation of electric personal assistive mobility devices within the City and set forth various
responsibilities for a) persons and business entities providing rentals, leases, and/or tours of
EPAMDS, and b) operators of EPAMDS.
ln addition to City Code regulations contained in Chapter 70 and in the City's Administrative
Rules, Section 82-438 of the City Code prohibits wheeled conveyances on the wooden elevated
Boardwalk, between 24th and 45th Streets, except when required by disabled persons, strollers,
or as required by fire, police, ocean rescue, or other city employees and agents as may be
authorized by the City Manager.

Ordinance No. 2014-3862
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2014-3862 passed and adopted by the City Commission on May 21,
2014, the regulations in Section 70-67 were amended to prohibit motorized means of
transportation in the following additional areas:
. Beachwalk between 1sth and 23'd Streets. Beachwalk between 64th and 79th Streetso Beachwalk south of 5th Streeto Lummus Park Promenade (also known as the Lummus Park Serpentine Walkway)
between Sth and 15th Streets. Sidewalks on the east side of Ocean Drive between South Pointe Drive and 1Sth Streeto South Pointe Park cutwalk adjacent and parallel to Government Cuto Marina Baywalk adjacent and parallel to Biscayne Bay and South of Sth Street
Attached as Exhibit A is a map depicting the City's coastal pathways, both existing and planned,
where motorized means of transportation are currently prohibited by the City Code and by US
Code provisions applicable to federally funded segments of the Beachwalk.
Ordinance No. 201 4-3881
On June 11,2014, Ordinance No. 2014-3881 was adopted that prohibited the operation of
bicycles on Lincoln Road between 9:00 am and 2:00 am. Ordinance No. 2014-3881 also revised
the definitions in Division 2 of Article ll of Chapter 70 of the City Code to define "motorized
means of transportation" to include "electric personal assistive mobility devices" and all other
devices and means of transportation propelled by other than human power, such as motorized
skateboards and skates, but not those devices defined as a "vehicle" under state law. Those
devices defined as a "vehicle" under state law, such as mopeds, motorized scooters, and
motorized bicycles, are already prohibited on bicycle paths, sidewalks, and sidewalk areas and
are enforced by the City's Police Department as moving violations under Section 316.1995 of
the Florida Statutes.
Ordinance No. 201 4-3883
To address additional safety concerns and accidents already experienced in the City, Ordinance
No.2014-3883was adopted on July 23,2014 tofurtheramend the provisions in ChapterT0 by
incorporating the Administrative Rules into the City Code (Resolution No. 2012-28041 was,
thus, subsequently repealed by Resolution No. 2014-28854) and adding stricter penalties for
insurance violations for business entities providing rentals, leases, and/or tours of EPAMDs.
These additional provisions continued to address the safety concerns resulting from the
accidents and collisions between motorized means of transportation and pedestrians that have
occurred on the City's sidewalks, bicycles paths, and pedestrian ways. ln addition, events held
during high impact periods can increase pedestrian traffic by the thousands, and it is unsafe for
any vehicle or motorized means of transportation to operate on streets closed by the Police
Department for such events as those streets are then utilized by dense pedestrian traffic. Thus,
a provision was added to prohibit motorized means of transportation on any street or road
closed to motor vehicular traffic by the Police Department for events during high impact periods.
At the July 23,2014 City Commission meeting, during the second reading of Ordinance No.
2014-3883, City Commission referred resident suggestions for further amendments to Chapter
70 to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) and to bring an Ordinance back
to the City Commission in October.

February 11,2015
Page 4 of 6
At the July 25, 2014 NCAC meeting, suggestions for further amendments, proffered by
residents in attendance, were discussed. The NCAC passed a motion directing the
Administration to review the residents' suggestions and bring a revised Ordinance back to
NCAC in October.
Ordinance No. 201 4-3908
Pursuant to the above directions, Ordinance No. 2014-3908 was presented to the City
Commission on October 22, 2014 and the NCAC on October 31, 2014. The amendments
incorporated many of the resident and City staff recommendations.
The Ordinance presented on First Reading on October 22,2014 before the City Commission set
forth various housekeeping amendments, as well as additional safety regulations, such as:
. Adding a definition of "high impact periods" in Sec. 70-66 because these periods,
currently defined and cross-referenced in Sec. a6-92(g)(1)(b), are being deleted from
Sec. 46-92(gXtXO) in another unrelated ordinance concerning commercial handbills. A
corresponding amendment is made in Sec. 70-67(9).. Amending the definition of motorized means of transportation to exempt motorized
devices and wheelchairs when used by disabled persons, and making corresponding
amendments throughout Division 2.o Amending Sec. 70-67 to add South Pointe Park Pier to the list of areas where motorized
means of transportation are prohibited, as well as making certain clarifying clean-up
amendments.o Making the responsibilities applicable to EPAMDs users in Sec. 70-69 also applicable to
users of other motorized means of transportation.o Amending Sec. 70-70, regarding the responsibilities of persons and entities that rent
EPAMDS, to strengthen the licensing, certification, and document requirements; expand
the requirements regarding the providing of a combined release, hold harmless and
acknowledgments by renters; and adding regulations regarding tours and prohibitions
regarding towed objects or persons.. Amending Sec. 7O-71to provide minor housekeeping amendments.
Subsequent to the City Commission meeting on October 22, 2014, and during the NCAC
meeting on October 31,2014, additional modifications to the Ordinance were discussed and
recommended by the NCAC, including the following:
. Deleting the requirement that the street address and phone number of the entity renting,
leasing, or providing tours of EPAMDS be on the device (see Sec. 70-70(n)).o Adding a requirement that the tour leader of EPAMDs wear a shirt with the name of the
entity conducting the tour in lettering at least 4 inches in height on the front and back of
the shirt (see Sec. 70-70(e)( )).. Clarifying that violations written by a Code Compliance Officer may alternatively be
written by a Police Officer (see Secs. 70-66 and 70-71(b)).
At the October 31, 2014 NCAC meeting, the Committee also discussed potential regulations for
motorized "toy" vehicles, such as motorized skateboards, and recommended that "toy" vehicles
be regulated separately.
ln addition, the following items, which had been included in First Reading, were removed at the
request of the Ordinance sponsor, Commissioner Jonah Wolfson. The removal of these items
363
Commission Memorandum - New Motorized Means of Transportation Ordinance
February 11,2015
Page 5 of 6
were not included in the printed NCAC agenda for Octobet 31,2014 and were not discussed by
the Committee, but were included in the red-lined handout at the NCAC meeting:
. Deleting the proposed prohibition of roller skating and in-line skating on Lincoln Road
(see Sec. 70-67(a)).
o Removing the requirement that EPAMD operators only travel in single file during a tour
(see Sec. 70-69(cX5)).. Eliminating the verbal notification of insurance coverage cancellation (see Sec. 70-
70(b)).
ln addition, a scrivener's error in Sec. 70-70 (aX3) was corrected after First Reading.
At the November 19,2014 City Commission meeting, Ordinance No. 2014-3908 was adopted,
as amended on the floor, to include roller skating and in-line skating as prohibited activities on
Lincoln Road.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
At the November 19, 2014 City Commission meeting, the Commission requested the
Administration to bring back a proposed new Ordinance to the December 17,2014 Commission
meeting. The new Ordinance would address amendments to Section 70-70 to provide
responsibilities for businesses and persons that rent or lease motorized means of transportation
other than EPAMDs, such as motorized skateboards. Currently, the regulations in Section 70-
70 only apply to businesses or persons that rent or lease EPAMDS. Motorized skateboards, and
other such devices, pose a safety risk to pedestrians and traffic, thus, such devices also require
regulations with regard to their rental or lease.
The proposed Ordinance represents the response from the Administration to the Commission's
request. This Ordinance was adopted on First Reading at the December 17, 2014 City
Commission meeting.
At the Second Reading/Public Hearing at the January 14, 2015 Commission meeting, the
following amendments were made and approved on the floor by the City Commission:
o Section 70-67 (b) was amended to add the sidewalk on the east side of Ocean Drive
between Sth and 15th Streets as a location where bicycling, roller skating, in-line
skating, and skateboarding are prohibited.. Section 70-71was amended to provide that the chaining of bikes to objects other than
bike racks on Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive (see Sec. 70-69(b)) may be enforced by
either code or police officers as a code violation that carries a fine. Currently this
offense may only be enforced by police officers as a noncriminal infraction under
Florida law.
Thus, the proposed Ordinance was revised to reflect the above-reference amendments, and
Sections 70-66, 70-68, and 70-69, which were not amended, were set forth in the Ordinance for
reference purposes.
Subsequent to the January 14,2015 Commission meeting, a new proposal was submitted by
Mr. Henry Stolar as set forth in Exhibit B. The proposal would amend the enforcement and
penalty provisions in Section 70-71to provide that all violations of the provisions in Division 2 of
Article !l of Chapter 70 would be enforced by code compliance officers (which include police
officers) with fines and penalties provided solely under the City's Special Master system.
364
Commission Memorandum - New Motorized Means of Transportation Ordinance
February 11,2015
Page 6 of 6
Under the present version of the Ordinance, certain violations are enforced by police officers
with statutory penalties under Florida Law, and other violations are City Code violations which
are enforced by code compliance officers under the City's Special Master system. As the nature
of many of the violations in Division 2 concern persons engaged in operating or traveling on
wheeled or motorized devices ("moving violations"), as opposed to other "stationary" violations
(regarding business insurance, device certifications, and document requirements, etc.), the
enforcement of the former only by police officers that possess the authority to stop, detain, and,
if necessary, arrest violators establishes a more efficient and complete method of enforcement.
"Moving violations" have a more immediate potential to endanger the safety of pedestrians and
the public (e.9., operating a motorized means of transportation on a prohibited sidewalk or on
the Beachwalk, Cutwalk, etc.). ln addition, the enforcement by police officers for these types of
offenses results in more serious statutorily prescribed penalties and prosecution in County
Court.
RECOMMENDATION
ln the interest of public safety, the Administration recommends that the additional regulations
and housekeeping amendments set forth in the proposed Ordinance be adopted.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached
Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
On Octobet 29,2014, at the request of Commissioner Malakoff, the City Commission
referred a discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee and the
Planning Board (ltem C4B) to permit the addition of balconies on non-conforming
buildings.
On November 5, 2014, the Land Use and Development Committee referred the item to
the Planning Board with a recommendation that the ordinance only apply to balconies
and balconies with columns on non-conforming buildings.
ANALYSIS
Under current Land Development Regulations, the addition of balconies that project from
a building's fagade and which are supported by columns, are considered a ground floor
addition. Ground floor additions have pre-existing height limits, depending on the zoning
district in which they are located. Therefore, balconies that require structural columns

for support cannot be added to existing nonconforming buildings if such buildings
exceed the maximum allowable height in their district.
The proposed Ordinance would allow for projecting balconies and balconies supported
by columns to extend up to 30 feet from an existing building wall up to the highest
habitable floor of the building and not be considered a ground floor addition. Such
construction would be subject to the review and approval of the design review board or
historic preservation board, as applicable.
There is increasing demand for larger balconies as the residents of residential buildings
desire greater ability to enjoy the outdoors and the unique environment of Miami Beach.
Existing regulations, such as required yards, and the design review or historic
preservation process will ensure that the larger balconies do not negatively impact
surrounding properties.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On December 15, 2014, the Planning Board (by a vote of 6-0) transmitted the proposal
to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT
ln 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 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 a negative fiscal impact upon the City.
SUMMARY
On January 14,2015, the subject Ordinance was approved at First Reading. The only
change requested was to clarify that the subject balcony addition is for'non-conforming'
buildings. This change is included in the Ordinance text.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.

occupants. The CMP must:
o Reduce construction employee vehicle parking impacts related to the proposed
construction'. Contain construction related parking to project site and areas approved by the City;. Reduce construction noise impacts to the greatest extent technically and
economically feasible; and. Minimize off-site dust and air quality impacts per best management practices.
Definitions:
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this division, shall have the meanings

SECOND READING - PUBLIC HEAR]NG
Miami Beach is a barrier island with approximately 70 miles of shoreline along numerous canals and
wateruuays. lt is especially critical that the City limit pollutants from entering the environment due to its
proximity to the City's vast system of interconnected watenarays and sensitive marine habitats. One
pollutant of particular concern is expanded polystyrene, a petroleum based by-product which constitutes a
large portion of the litter in the City's streets, public places, and watenauays. Expanded polystyrene is a
particularly harmful pollutant because it is non-biodegradable and not readily recyclable. Furthermore, it
fragments into smaller pieces that easily enter and remain in the environment harming or killing marine life
and other wildlife that accidentally ingest it. Waterfront facilities including marinas, piers, docks, and boat
ramps provide the public with direct access to Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the City's waterways.
Keeping expanded polystyrene products out of publically owned and leased facilities can help reduce litter
nuisance because lightweight articles, such as expanded polystyrene products, are picked up and
dispensed by wind and rain. The proposed Ordinance will reduce the presence of this pollutant on the City's
waterfronts and wateruyays and enhance the City's environmental sustainability.
On July 23,2014, the City Commission passed Ordinance No. 2014-3884 expanding the restrictions on the
sale and use of expanded polystyrene (commonly known as Styrofoam) products, to reduce litter and
pollutants in the City's watenrvays and to enhance the environmental sustainability of the City. Ordinance
2014-3884 prohibits the following: (1)the carrying of expanded polystyrene products into City beaches and
parks; (2) the sale or use in public facilities and on public property of expanded polystyrene food service
articles by City contractors, vendors, lessees, concessionaires, operators of City facilities and properties,
and special event permittees; and (3) the placement of expanded polystyrene food service articles on the
right-of-way and the provision by sidewalk caf6 permittees of expanded polystyrene food service articles to
sidewalk caf6 patrons.
The proposed Ordinance amends Chapter 46 of the City Code by amending Section 46-92 to include the
definitions of "polystyrene" and of "expanded polystyrene". Additionally, the proposed Ordinance extends
the existing prohibition of expanded polystyrene products on beaches and in parks within the city to include
city marinas, piers, docks, and boat ramps because these facilities are in close proximity to bodies of water
and, therefore, litter at these locations can easily enter the marine environment. The proposed Ordinance
also amends Chapter 82 of the City Code by amending Section 82-7 to include the definition of
"polystyrene" and to expand the definition of "city facility" to include facilities leased to the City and marinas,
piers, docks or boat ramps owned, operated, leased, or managed by the City. ln addition, the proposed
Ordinance amends section 82-7 lo expand the definition of "city property" to include property leased to the
City. Moreover, the proposed Ordinance amends Section 82-366 to include the definitions of "expanded
food service articles," and "polvstvrene"

ADMIN ISTRATION RECOMMEN DATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the Ordinance on Second
Reading.
BACKGROUND
Miami Beach is a barrier island with approximately 70 miles of shoreline along numerous canals and
watenr,rays, including lndian Creek, Surprise Lake, Lake Pancoast as well as the Atlantic Ocean and
the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve. The waters surrounding the City support a wide variety of flora
and fauna, including threatened and endangered species like the West lndian manatee, the
American crocodile, Johnson's seagrass, and smalltoothed sawfish. These waters also act as
nurseries and habitat for migratory birds, including brown pelicans and ospreys, and for
commercially and recreationally important fish, such as snapper, sailfish, and mahi-mahi.
Furthermore, the City's beaches support shorebird species, including seagulls and royal terns, and
are a designated nesting habitat for the protected Loggerhead, Green, and Leatherback sea turtles.
It is especially critical that the City limit pollutants from entering the environment due to its proximity
to the City's vast system of interconnected watenruays and sensitive marine habitats. One pollutant
of particular concern is expanded polystyrene, a petroleum based by-product which constitutes a
large portion of the litter in the City's streets, public places, and wateruuays. The Environmental
Protection Agency has determined that floatable debris, like expanded polystyrene, can have
"serious impacts on human health, wildlife, the aquatic environment and the economy" (Assessing
and Monitoring Floatable Debris, August 2002; EPA-842-B-02-002). Expanded polystyrene is a
particularly harmful pollutant because it is non-biodegradable and not readily recyclable.
Furthermore, it fragments into smaller pieces that easily enter and remain in the environment
harming or killing marine life and other wildlife that accidentally ingest it.
On July 23,2014, the City Commission passed Ordinance No.2014-3884 expanding the restrictions
on the sale and use of expanded polystyrene (commonly known as Styrofoam) products, to reduce
litter and pollutants in the City's waterways and to enhance the environmental sustainability of the
City. Ordinance 201 4-3884 prohibits the following: (1) the carrying of expanded polystyrene products
into City beaches and parks; (2) the sale or use in public facilities and on public property of
expanded polystyrene food service articles by City contractors, vendors, lessees, concessionaires,
operators of City facilities and prope(ies, and special event permittees; and (3) the placement of
expanded polystyrene food service articles on the right-of-way and the provision by sidewalk caf6
permittees of expanded polystyrene food seruice articles to sidewalk caf6 patrons.
The proposed Ordinance amends Chapter 46 of the City Code by amending Section 46-92 to
include the definitions of "polystyrene" and of "expanded polystyrene". Additionally, the proposed
Ordinance extends the existing prohibition of expanded polystyrene products on beaches and in
parks within the city to include city marinas, piers, docks, and boat ramps because these facilities
are in close proximity to bodies of water and, therefore, litter at these locations can easily enter the
marine environment.
407
Polystyrene Ordinance Memo - Second Reading
February 11,2015
Page 3 of 3
The proposed Ordinance also amends Chapter 82 of the City Code by amending Section 82-7 to
include the definition of "polystyrene" and to expand the definition of "city facility" to include facilities
leased to the City and marinas, piers, docks or boat ramps owned, operated, leased, or managed by
the City. ln addition, the proposed Ordinance amends section 82-7 to expand the definition of "city
property" to include property leased to the City. Moreover, the proposed Ordinance amends Section
82-366 to include the definitions of "expanded polystyrene," "expanded polystyrene food service
articles," and "polystyrene".
Waterfront facilities including marinas, piers, docks, and boat ramps provide the public with direct
access to Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the City's waterways. Keeping expanded
polystyrene products out of publically owned and leased facilities can help reduce litter nuisance
because lightweight articles, such as expanded polystyrene products, are picked up and dispensed
by wind and rain. The proposed Ordinance will reduce the presence of this pollutant on the City's
waterfronts and watenruays and enhance the City's environmental sustainability.
FIVE YEAR FISCAL IMPAGT
ln 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. As the Amendment to the Ordinance is only intended to clarify the
definition of expanded polystyrene and clarify the locations polystyrene is prohibited, there is no
financial impact.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the Ordinance.

WHEREAS, the City's goal is to replace expanded polystyrene food service articles with
reusable, recyclable or compostable alternatives; and
WHEREAS, the City encourages the use of unbleached, non-coated, recycled-contentpaper food service articles and other fiber-based food service articles as the most
environmentally preferable alternatives when the use of reusable food ware is not feasible; and
WHEREAS, as an environmental leader among local governments in the State of
Florida, the City of Miami Beach, by virtue of this Ordinance, will strengthen its litter laws by
prohibiting any person from carrying expanded polystyrene products onto City marinas, piers,

City Commission Memorandum
Telecommunications Ordinance - Second Reading
February 11,2015
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Commission should review the ordinance and if accepted, approve the ordinance on
first reading and set a second reading public hearing for adoption.
BACKGROUND:
On January 15, 2014, the City Commission directed the drafting of an ordinance to address the
issues raised by the Crown Castle applications. This referral provided an opportunity for
members of the City Commission to review the draft ordinance and provide policy guidance to
the City Attorney's Office and Administration. The ordinance was originally discussed by the
Committee on its March 19, 2014 agenda, continued to the April 9, 2014 meeting, and was
further continued to the May 7,2014 meeting.
At the May 7, 2014 meeting the Land Use and Development Committee adopted a motion to
refer this Ordinance to the Planning Board, and to bring the Ordinance back for further
discussion to the Committee on June 12, 2014 following review by the Planning and Public
Works Departments. On May 21, 2014 the City Commission adopted a motion to schedule the
Ordinance for review by the Planning Board at its July 22, 2014 meeting. On July 22, the
Planning Board reviewed the ordinance, adopted changes, and recommended it to the City
Commission for adoption. Zoning in progress for 150 days based on the Planning Board
recommendation expires on December 19, 2014.
On September 1 7, 2014 the City Commission adopted a resolution setting a six-month
moratorium on the acceptance of applications and the issuance of permits or approvals for
wireless personal telecommunications services towers ("Towers) in the public right-of-way to
give additional time to review the regulations applicable to Towers, due to the rapid changes in
Tower technology and concerns over the design and placement of the Towers within the City's
right-of-way. The changing technology may require or provide for an extensive proliferation of
street furniture within the City's rights-of-way. The City desires time to review the draft
ordinance in order to develop a mechanism that would minimize adverse impacts to the City's
public rights-of-way. The six-month moratorium was set to expire on March 16,2015. At first
reading of the Ordinance, which was held on December 17, 2014, the City Commission moved
to end the moratorium, which is reflected under Resolution
Prior to first reading on December 17th, the city vetted the draft ordinance:
The Land Use and Development Committee discussed the ordinance during the October 1,
2014 meeting. At that time the LUDC requested that a joint workshop of the City Commission
and Planning Board be held on October 28,2014. A Power Point presentation was presented
at that time. Commissioner Joy Malakoff attended the joint workshop. The workshop attendees
recommended a one-for-one replacement of street furniture with collocated equipment - having
a replacement light pole installed, with the telecommunications equipment internalized within the
pole; to limit the large telecommunications boxes from being placed in the ROW; for the City to
develop sample "light" pole designs for the various City districts; and to work with the State on
state roads to utilize a similar street furniture "swap."

City Commission Memorandum
Te leco m m u n icatio n s O rd i n a nce - Second R e ad i n g
February 11,2015
Prior to the enactment of the moratorium in September, Crown Castle filed applications with the
City to obtain permits for Distributed Antenna System (DAS) nodes, a type of wireless personal
telecommunications services tower, at twenty-five locations throughout the City, in public rights-
of-way. To date, the Design Review Board has approved five applications, with one pending on
appeal to the City Commission. Twenty applications were filed for Certificates of
Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board. Upon lifting of the moratorium, the City
understands that Crown Castle may submit additional applications for DAS node approval in
other locations around the City. This DAS system is intended to supplement existing wireless
communications networks in the City by strengthening the signal between existing antenna
towers providing cellular and digital communications signals to the modern digital network of
smartphones, tablets and computers.
Due to the action on December 17,2014, to liftthe moratorium, the City is now processing the
remaining applications of Crown Castle. Several will be scheduled for hearing before the
Historic Preservation Board, under the guidelines of the ordinance as approved at first reading.
At first reading, the attorney for Crown Castle orally affirmed to the City Commission that the
applications to be processed by the City would comply with the ordinance approved at first
reading.
Crown Castle is the successor in interest to Sprint and Nextel, which already have
telecommunications systems in the City, both at a fixed location, the City parking garage at
1550 Collins Avenue, and at45 other locations in the City's rights-of-way, which Crown Castle
acquired from Nextel. These former Nextel sites are still run by Nextel for use by the City, but
are now controlled by Crown Castle.
AT&T, a wireless personaltelecommunications service provider, has also recently contacted the
City to provide comments on the draft ordinance, requesting to modify some of the proposed
language. The revisions requested are encompassed in the ordinance for second reading.
FPL and FPL Fiber Net have also provided input into the draft ordinance, which input is also
reflected in the second and final reading of the ordinance.
During the December 17, 2014 first reading of the ordinance the Commission provided direction
to ensure that the code provides additional and stronger language relating to the removal of
obsolete or dated equipment or poles from the rights-of-way. This language was inserted into
the Ordinance. At Page 2, under the definition of "abandonment" the following sentence was
added: "lt mav also mean the discontinued use of obsolete technoloqy in favor of new
technologv, which would require the removal of the discontinued, abandoned.
technoloqv." Sections 104-6(c)(9) and (10) and 104-16 were also modified. These
proposed revisions were moved by Commissioner Malakoff and accepted by the
Commission.
APPLICABLE LAWS GUIDING DRAFTING OF ORDINANGE:
State law relating to telecommunications:
Page 3 of 7
419
City Commission Memorandum
Telecomm unication s Ordinance - Second Readi ng
February 11,2015
Section 337.401, Florida Statutes provides: "Local governmental entities that have jurisdiction
and control of public roads are authorized to prescribe and enforce reasonable rules or
regulations as to the placement and maintenance (in, under, across or over) utility or
communications services lines."
Section 337.401(3Xa), Florida Statutes provides: "ln order to foster competition federal and
state law require municipalities to treat providers in a nondiscriminatorv and competitivelv
neutral manner in imposing rules or regulations governing placement or maintenance of utilities
in ROW." (emphasis added)
Section 337.401(3Xb), Florida Statutes provides: "Cities still retain their police power to
regulate and manage municipal rights-of-way. However, the rules as to communication services
"must be related to the placement and maintenance of facilities in the ROW, must be
reasonable and nondiscriminatorv, and may include only those matters necessary to manaqe
the ROW." (emphasis added)
The City may collect the state Communications Services tax under Section 202.20, Florida
Statutes. The City does collect this statutorily determined tax.
Federal laws relating to telecommunications:
47 USC Section 332(c)(7) - 1996 Federal Telecommunications Act- Creates Federal Shot
Clocks and FCC regulation of New Towers/Antennas/DAS
The Act provides that localzoning principles generally not affected, and allows a City to regulate
aesthetics. lt allows a City to control of number, height, safety issues, and concerns relating to
historic areas. The Act precludes unreasonable discrimination and precludes a city ordinance
from prohibit service (from creating a gap in service) by providers.
Health Risks cannot be considered:
The 1996 Federal Telecommunications Act provides that local governments are precluded from
regulating radio frequency (RF) emissions of a telecommunications facility - provided the facility
complies with FCC regulations. The FCC exempts telecommunications facilities from having to
demonstrate compliance with the standards if located 10 meters above ground level. The FCC
does not conduct measurements of RF radiation from conventional cellular antenna sites. The
FCC could reverse a zoning decision if there is any evidence showing concern over radiation as
the basis, in part, for the decision.
Shot Clocks
The FCC provides a City: (1) 90 days for revlew of a completed application for collocation; and
(2) 150 days for other completed applications. Failure to meet these "shot clock" deadlines
creates a legal presumption that the zoning agency "failed to act" under federal law and will give
an applicant the ability to bring legal action, in an expedited process, within 30 days of the
deadline having passed.
State law provides City 90 business days after receipt of a complete application to approve the
request, or it is "deemed approved." Section 365.172(d), Florida Statutes.

47 USC Section 1455(a) - alVa Section 6a09(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act - Regutates
existing facilities and specifically provides:
"Notwithstanding [the Telecom Act], a local government [1] may not deny, and shall approve,
any [2] eligible facilities request for a modification of an [3] existing wireless tower or base
station that does not [4] substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base
station."
FGC Order 14-153 (10-17-20141
This FCC order provides "clarification" on the application of the FTA and the Middle Class Tax
Relief Act. The order streamlines rules on collocation - and provides "categorical exclusion"
from review for collocations. The order specifies that the same shot clocks for DAS technology
as for towers. lt provides more flexibility for DAS in Historic Districts. Further, Collocation
defined broadly to allow collocations on poles and in utility/communication ROWs.
DRAFT ORDINANGE:
Below is a synopsis of the material modifications proposed to the telecommunications
ordinance, including all revisions made during first reading of the Ordinance on December 17,
2014.
Section 104-2, provides the intent of the ordinance specifies that anyone seeking to place or
maintain communications facilities in the right-of way must comply with the ordinance.
Section 104-3, modifies the definitions and adds definitions for arterial roadway, collector
roadway, collocation, communications facility, communication facility providers, pass-through
providers, "repurposed structures", stealth design, and wireless service. The definition of a
"repurposed structure" is new to the draft ordinance, and it encompasses the vocalized intent of
the Land Use and Development Committee to allow a provider to conduct a one-to-one swap-
out of light poles so that the City does not experience any additional street furniture being
placed in the rights-of-way.
Section 104-4 requires registration for placing or maintaining communications facilities in public
rights-of-way, and requires an annual update of all equipment in the City's rights-of-way held by
a single provider.
Section 104-5 requires the provider to provide notice to the City of any transfer, sale or
assignment of assets in the City's rights-of-way.
Section 104-6 provides for the review of an application to place equipment in the right-of-way,
including collocation or repurposed structures requests. The ordinance requires specific
information as to the location and size of equipment to be installed; proof that collocation cannot
occur; and safeguards for the city as to aesthetics, safety, and efficient management of the
City's rights-of-way. The ordinance provides a 500 feet distance requirement between facilities,
unless collocation is to occur, or a specific service coverage need is documented. The provider
must comply with Americans with Disabilities Act and Florida Building Code. The provider must
document that the use could not first be placed on private property. Thereafter, once that
Page 5 of 7
421
City Commission Memorandum
Telecommunications Ordinance - Second Reading
February 11,2015
criteria is met, then collocation or a repurposed structure is the preferred mechanism for utilizing
the right-of-way by a provider. The application would be heard either by the Design Review
Board or the Historic Preservation Board, depending on which board would have jurisdiction.
The provider's equipment (facility) would be required to be located either on an arterial or
collector road, and not directly fronting a residential property, and should be landscaped, if
possible. Stealth designs, like a repurposed structure, are recommended. Equipment boxes,
if needed may not exceed two feet wide, by feet deep, by three feet in height. ln short, this
section proposes the following:
o Review of sufficiency of space in ROW;. Ensures ADA and FBC Compliance;. Analyzes traffic and pedestrian safety;. Precludes placement of equipment in front of a residential building;o Requires placement of equipment on opposite site from residential structures;o Ensures residential view corridor is not impaired;o Ensures proper pedestrian pathways; ando Limits ground equipment or elevated equipment on the rights-of-way.
Many of the other sections of the Code relating to suspension of permits, appeals, involuntary
termination of registration, existing communication facilities in rights-of-way, insurance,
indemnification, construction bond, security fund, enforcement of remedies, abandonment of a
communications facility, force majeure, reservation of rights and remedies, establishment of the
rate of the communications services tax were not materially modified.
Section 104-20 was substantially modified and relates to pass-through providers and
communications facility provider fees and charges. lt provides for a $500 fee per pole, on
annual basis.
The revisions to section 118-71,118-251, 118-102, and 118-564 provide the powers to the
Design Review Board and the Historic Preservation Board to hear the applications identified in
Section 104-6.
Please note, both Crown Castle and AT&T have provided input in the drafting of this ordinance.
To meet the intent of the Planning Board/Commission during the October workshop, the
ordinance now reflects a definition for "repurposed structure." Not all requests for modifications
to the ordinance were included, but, those that appeared to enhance the ordinance were. For
example, rather than reiterating the same code provisions in the DRB and HPB sections of the
code, the Telecommunications Ordinance was simply referenced. ln that case, the new
language was stricken in order to prevent the same standard from being reiterated three times
in the Code.
Additionally, due to a request by FPL and FPL Fiber Net, the ordinance was clarified at second
reading, that the intent for a "repurposed" structure, was to allow for the repurposing of the
City's street furniture. Obviously, street furniture (poles) owned by FPL, or another entity, cannot
be repurposed without the consent of the owner of that pole. As such, the ability to repurpose
the City's street lights (street furniture) has been clarified.
Additionally, the draft ordinance proposes no more than a 40 foot height for street furniture,
Page 6 of 7
422
City Commission Memorandum
Telecommunications Ordinance - Second Reading
February 11,2015
except for the light poles within Lincoln Road. Those poles measure at 60 feet in height. As
such, the repurposing of those poles, will be to the height as currently maintained by the City -
to 60 feet.
The City Commission specifically directed that there be language in the ordinance relating to
removal of the street furniture, upon the discontinuance of use of the telecommunications facility
or equipment. This provision can be found at section 104-14.
There are other edits to the draft ordinance that reflect both underlining and strike throughs. The
reason for this edit to show the evolution of the ordinance over the past year. These provisions
with both underling, and a complete strike through reflects the efforts to modify and enhance the
ordinance. lt includes the edits requested by the Planning Board, the Historic Preservation
Board, the Design Review Board, and the joint Planning/City Commission workshop.

ADMTNISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached
Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
On April 23,2014, at the request of Commissioner Michael Grieco, the City Commission
referred a discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee, which would
allow short term rentals in the RM-1 districts in the Collins Waterfront Historic District,
under limited circumstances.
On June 12, 2014, the Land Use and Development Committee recommended that the
subject Ordinance be referred to the Planning Board. On July 23, 2104, the City
Commission referred the proposed Ordinance to the Planning Board (ltem C4C).
The RM-1 zoning district, within the Collins Waterfront Historic District, does not permit
hotels, and does not permit short{erm rentals of apartments. The proposed Ordinance
would allow short term rentals in the RM-1 areas of the Collins Waterfront Historic
District, under limited circumstances, similar to Ordinance 2010-3685, adopted by the
City on June 9, 2010, which permitted short term rentals in very limited circumstances
within the Flamingo Park neighborhood.

Commission Memorandum
Ordinance Amendment - Shod Term Rentals in the Cottins Wateiront Historic Distict
ANALYSIS
The RM-1 residential multifamily, low density district is designed for low intensity, low
rise, single-family and multiple-family residences. The main permitted uses in the RM-1
district are single-family detached dwellings, townhomes and residential apartments.
With the exception of those properties fronting Harding Avenue or Collins Avenue, from
the City Line on the north to 73rd Street on the south, hotels are not permitted within the
RM-1 zoning district.
Section 142-1111 of the City Code regulates the short-term rental of apartment units or
townhomes. Under the City Code, 'short term rentals' are defined as the rental of
apartment or townhome residential properties in districts zoned RM-1, RM-PRD, RM-
PRD-2, RPS-'I and RPS-2, CD-1, RO, RO-3 or TH for periods of less than six months
and one day. Properties zoned RM-2, RM-3, CD-2 and CD-3 permit hotels, so rental
periods less than 6 months are permitted, subject to all applicable building and fire
regulations.
The RM-1 zoning district does not permit hotels, and does not permit short{erm rentals
of apartments. Ordinance 2010-3685, adopted by the City on June g, 2010, clarified
this, while grandfathering-in a small number of existing short term rentals in very limited
circumstances within the Flamingo Park neighborhood. Section 142-1111 of this
Ordinance contains a provision that would allow other neighborhoods to permit short
term rentals in the future by action of the City Commission.
The attached Ordinance would allow short term rentals in the RM-1 areas in the Collins
Waterfront Historic District, under similar limited circumstances. Apparently there are
already several buildings in this area (roughly bounded by Collins Canal on the south,
Pinetree Drive on the west, 25th Street on the north, and Lake Pancoast on the east)
already engaged in short-term rentals. This ordinance would legalize those properties
currently operating such transient operations.
Attached, is a map showing the subject RM-1 zone, as well as the adjacent zoning
districts. The subject area is bounded by more intense commercial and high density
multi-family districts to the immediate south (CD-3 zone across Collins Canal) and east
(RM-3 District across Lake Pancoast). To the west of the subject area are Government
(Fire Station 2) and lnstitutional (Hebrew Academy) uses. The area to the immediate
north of West 25th Street is zoned single-family.
The proposed Ordinance would provide more flexibility in terms of allowable uses for
recently restored historic buildings within the RM-1 zoned area of the Collins Waterfront
Local historic district. ln order to provide an appropriate buffer from the more low scale
single family district, it is suggested that any property within this district that has a
property line on West 25th Street not be permitted to have short term rentals. Also, the
eligibility for short term rentals should be limited to fully restored, 'Contributing' buildings
within the district.
ln summary, with appropriate safeguards, and given the intensity of the districts and
uses on the west, south and east sides of the subject RM-1 district, the proposal for a
limited short-term rental eligibility window is not expected to have any detrimental
impacts on the surrounding area. The Ordinance attached includes the safeguards and
eligibility limitations delineated herein.

PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On August 26, 2014, the Planning Board (by a vote of 6-0) transmitted the proposal to
the City Commission with a favorable recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT
ln 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 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 a negative fiscal impact upon the City.
UPDATE
On October 22, 2014, the City Commission discussed the proposed Ordinance
Amendment at First Reading. Some concerns regarding the size of the area proposed
for allowing short term rentals, the total numbers of properties, as well as outreach to
area residents, were raised. The item was continued to a date certain of November 19,
2014. Subsequent to the October 22, 2014 meeting, the original proposers of the
Ordinance requested that the matter be continued to December 17,2014, in order to
adequately address the issues and concerns

Pursuant to the direction of the City Commission, revised, smaller boundaries are
proposed for the proposed Short Term Rental District. Specifically, this type of use would
only be permitted on properties located south of West 24th Terrace. Additionally, a
limitation has been placed on the mix of rental types within a building proposing short
term rentals. These modifications have been incorporated into the text of the revised
Ordinance.
On December 17,2014, the proposed Ordinance was discussed by the Commission and
additional clarifications were requested. The matter was continued to a date certain of
January 14, 2015, at which time it was approved at First Reading. At First Reading

any mix of uses within a property incorporating short term rentals.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission open and continue the item to
a date certain of April 15,2015.
BACKGROUND
On June 11, 2014, at the request of Commissioner Deede Weithorn, the City
Commission referred a discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee
(ltem C4J), regarding the rezoning of City-Owned land. Additionally the matter was
referred to the Planning Board.
On July 9,2014 the Land Use and Development Committee recommended approval of
the proposed rezoning.
A proposal has been put forward, in combination with the privately held parcel to the
482
Commission Memorandum
226 |y'h Terrace - Parking Category Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Zoning Map Change
February 11,2015 Page 2 of 9
immediate south, for a new main use parking structure. A re-zoning of the City owned
'GU' property is necessary in order to provide a consistent zoning designation for the
combined, larger site. Additionally, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow for
residential uses in the 'Parking (P)' future land use category when it abuts a land use
category that allows residential uses is required to maintain consistency between the
Land Development Regulations and the Comprehensive Plan as required by Section
163.3201, Florida Statutes.
On November 19, 2014, the City Commission opened and continued the item on First
Reading to a date certain of December 17,2014. On December 17,2014, the item was
continued to a date certain of February 11, 2015.
ANALYS!S
The Proposal
The subject property al 226 87th Terrace is currently zoned "GU Government Use
District" and is owned by the City. The subject site, which is sandwiched between Collins
and Harding Avenue on the northern boundary of the City, contains an open lot on the
west and a public parking lot on the east side. To the immediate south of the subject GU
site is a parking lot (zoned RM-2) owned by 8701 Collins Development, LLC, which is
also the owner of the "Biltmore Terrace" and adjacent parking lot to the east at 8701
Collins Avenue.
A proposal has been put forward, in combination with the privately held parcel to the
immediate south, for a new main use parking structure. The following is requested as
part of the subject applications:
1. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow for residential uses in the Parking
(P) Category future land use designation, to allow that designation to be
compatible with the surrounding residential categories.
2. A re-zoning of the City owned 'GU' property to 'RM-2', which is necessary in
order to provide a consistent zoning designation for the combined, larger site.
A separate code amendment is pending before the Planning Board that proposes to: (i)
establish regulations for main use garages and sign criteria for ground floor commercial
uses in parking garages located in the RM-2 district adjacent to North Shore Open
Space Park; and (ii) establish a process in which the City may erect City ldentification
Signs near the City's main entry points.
The proposed main use garage would include a mix of at least 100 public parking
spaces, private parking spaces, ground floor commercial uses, and residential uses. The
proposed building would also incorporate entrance signage for the City. The goal of the
development is to provide a signature building at the entrance to the City that will
facilitate pedestrian activity in the area, encourage the public's use of the beach and the
North Shore Open Space Park, while enhancing the supply of public parking in the area.
Regardless of the subject ordinance, any development proposed for the site will be
subject to design review and site plan approval.

Commission Memorandum
226 8lh Terrace - Parking Category Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Zoning Map Change

Planning and Zoning lssues
The "Parking (P)" future land use category provides for the following:
Purpose: to provide development oppoftunities for existing and new parking
facilities.
Uses which may be permitted; Parking facilities and commercial uses when
located on frontage opposite a land use category that permits commercial use.
The proposed development complies with this purpose, as it will be a main use garage.
However, residential uses are presently not permitted in this category. This can result in
garages that are incompatible with surrounding communities, especially if a garage is
located in an area that is primarily residential. Therefore an amendment is required in
order to ensure that main use garages that are compatible with the surrounding
residential districts. lt should be noted that for other sites with a future land use
designation of Parking (P), a zoning change or amendment will be required if they are
designated GU in order to have residential uses.
The GU zoning only allows government buildings and uses, including but not limited to
parking lots and garages; parks and associated parking; schools; performing arts and
culturalfacilities; monuments and memorials. Residential uses within a main use garage
would not be permitted by the present Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations, and
requires an amendment to the permitted uses in the future land use category and a
change to the zoning designation that would allow the desired residential use as a main
permitted use.
It is proposed that the Parking (P) future land use category be amended to allow for
residential uses subject to the density of the lowest abutting residential land use
category. lt is also proposed that the subject property be rezoned from "GU Government
Use District" to the 'RM-2 Residential, Medium lntensity" district, as that would allow
both the residential use and parking garages. The proposed changes are compatible
with the properties abutting the site along Collins Avenue and Harding Avenue which are
zoned for multifamily residential uses.
City Charter lssues
The request for changing the Zoning Map of the City is affected by the following City
Charter provision: Sections 1.03 (c), which partially states:
The floor area ratio of any property or street end within the City of Miami Beach
shall not be increased by zoning, transfer, or any other means from its current
zone floor area ratio as ff exisfs on the date of adoption of this Charter
Amendment (November 7, 2001), including any limitations on floor area ratios
which are in effect by viftue of development agreements through the full term of
such agreements, unless such increase ln zone floor area ratio for any such
propefty shall first be approved by a vote of the electors of the City of Miami
Beach.
ln review of the floor area ratio (F.A.R.) limitation on the subject parcels, which are
currently zoned GU (Government Use), the following applies:
Sec. 142-425 (a). Development regulations.
484
Commission Memorandum
226 ?lh Terrace - Parking Category Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Zoning Map Change
trchn tanr 1 1 2O1 5 Peaa 4 ol I
The development regulations (setbacks, floor area ratio, sbns, parking, etc.) in
the GU governmenf use district shall be the average of the requirements
contained in the surrounding zoning dr'sfrlcfs as determined by the planning and
zoning director, which shall be approved by the city commission.
The abutting zoning of the subject parcel, which is used to calculate the F.A.R. of the
parcel, is RM-2, which allows a maximum F.A.R. o12.0. As the proposed zoning change
to RM-2 does not increase the established F.A.R. for the subject parcels, the requested
amendment complies with the requirements of the referenced Charter provision, subject
to City Commission approval. ln addition, the proposal is for a main use garage, which
is not subject to the F.A.R. limits of the underlying zoning district pursuant to Section
130-68 (6) of the Land Development Regulations.
Gomprehensive Plan lssues
This application includes a text amendment to Policy 1.2 of the Future Land Use element
of the Compressive Plan. Under Section 163.3184(2), F.S., this amendment shallfollow
the expedited state review process for adoption of comprehensive plan amendments.
This process requires a public hearing by the local planning agency (Planning Board), a
public transmittal hearing before the City Commission, after which the amendment must
be transmitted to several state agencies for a 30-day review period, and a final adoption
public hearing before the City Commission. The amendment is effective 31 days after it
is adopted if there are no appeals.
lnterlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning
The 2005 Florida Legislature adopted laws which are incorporated in the Florida
Statutes, requiring each local government to adopt an intergovernmental coordination
element as part of their comprehensive plan, as well as a statutory mandate to
implement public school concurrency. The Parking (P) future land use category as
proposed will allow a density limited by the lowest abutting residential district, which in
this case will be that of RM-1 or 60 units per acre. The lot area of this parcel is 0.35
acres. Based upon this data, the maximum number of units that could be developed for
this area is 21 units. The 0.35 acre lot to the south (7925 Collins Avenue) with an
underlying RM-2 future land use designation allows for a maximum density of 100 units
per acre, or a total of 35 units. At this time, it is expected that the proposal for the
combined site will contain approximately 24 units, which is less than the maximum
number of units allowed on the existing RM-2 site.
Final site plan approval is contingent upon meeting Public School Concurrency
requirements and the applicant will be required to obtain a valid School Concurrency
Determination Certificate (Certificate) issued by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Such Certificate will state the number of seats reserved at each school level. !n the
event sufficient seats are not available, a proportionate share mitigation plan shall be
incorporated into a tri-party development agreement and duly executed prior to the
issuance of a Building Permit.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On August 26,2014, the Planning Board (by a 6-0) transmitted the proposals to the City
Commission with a favorable recommendation

FISCAL IMPAGT
ln 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 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 a negative fiscal impact upon the City, and
should increase the property's value, as new development is added to the City's tax
rolls.
SUMMARY
The proposed amendment to Policy 1.2 of the Future Land Use Element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and the change to the Zoning Map will allow for a main use parking
garage with residential and commercial components, which would add value to the site
as well as be a visual and aesthetic improvement to the neighborhood. These
amendments must be processed together, as they are interrelated to one another,
however, separate motions must be made for each application.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission open and continue the item to
a date certain of April 15,2015.

ADM!NISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission open and continue First
Reading for the proposed Ordinance to a date certain of April 15, 2015; and refer the
item to the Planning Board for further modifications.
HISTORY / BACKGROUND
On March 1, 2013, the Board of Adjustment granted an appeal of an Administrative
Decision of the Planning Director, which denied a proposed transfer of Floor Area (FAR)
for a project on a multi-property site. The Administrative Determination, dated April 10,
2012, concluded that a proposed unification of three properties on Collins Avenue
through the use of a proposed 'Covenant in Lieu of Unity of Title' was not a true "Unified
Development Site" as required by Section 118-5 of the City Code, and the proposed
transfer of development rights did not conform with the applicable Charter provision
1.03(c) or the Land Development Regulations. The Board of Adjustment concluded that
the language of section 118-5 did not restrict the proposed unification and granted the
appeal. The Board then suggested that refinements be considered to more clearly
restrict the unification of unrelated properties for transfer of floor area.
On June sth, 2013, at the request of Commissioner Tobin, the City Commission referred
a discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee, pertaining to the
section of the City Code governing Unities of Title and Covenants in Lieu of Unity of
Title. On April 9, 2014, the Land Use and Development Committee recommended that
an Ordinance be referred to the Planning Board to amend the requirements and
standards for a 'Covenant-ln-Lieu' by providing a definition for a "Unified Development

Site." On September 10, 2014, the City Commission referred the subject Ordinance to
the Planning Board.
The following is a summary of the relevant Charter and City Code provisions, and
instruments, pertaining to a Unity of Title and a Covenant in Lieu of Unity of Title:
Miami Beach Citv Charter:
Section 1.03(c) of the City of Miami Beach Charter explicitly prohibits the floor area ratio
of any property from being increased by zoning, transfer, or any other means from its
current zoned floor area ratio as it exists currently, without being approved by a public
referendum. This underlying principal has been a critical component in the overall
policymaking of the City, the protection of the historic character of the City's historic
districts, and the careful planning regulation of growth and development.
This Charter provision does include an exception for the division of lots, or the
aqqreqation of develooment riqhts on unified abuttinq parcels. as mav be
permitted bv ordinance. The ordinance referred to is Section 118-5 of the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code, which discusses unities of title, or covenants
in lieu of unity of title, for multiple buildings proposed for a single lot or for single or
multiple buildings proposed for a unified development site consisting of multiple lots.
Section 1 18-5 - Unitv of Title: Covenant in Lieu Thereof
When a development is proposed over multiple lots, or multiple buildings are proposed
for single or multiple lots, certain documents must be executed to combine the lots or
buildings for zoning purposes. As stated above, these documents may have floor area
implications. Under Section 118-5(a), a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants in Lieu of
Unity of Title must contain the following elements:
1. That the subject site will be developed in substantial accordance with the
approved site plan, after one has been submitted and approved under the city's
land development regulations. That no modification shall be effectuated without
the written consent of the then owner(s) of the [phase] or portion of the property
for which modification is sought, all owners within the original unified
development site, or their successors, whose consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and the director of the city's planning department; provided the director
finds that the modification would not generate excessive noise or traffic, tend to
create a fire or other equally or greater dangerous hazard, or provoke excessive
overcrowding of people, or tend to provoke a nuisance, or be incompatible with
the area concerned when considering the necessity and reasonableness of the
modification in relation to the present and future development of the area
concerned. Should the director withhold such approval, the then owner(s) of the
phase or portion of the property for which modification is sought shall be
permitted to seek such modification by application to modify the plan or covenant
at public hearing before the appropriate city board or the city commission of
Miami Beach Florida, (whichever by law has jurisdiction over such matters). Such
application shall be in addition to all other required approvals necessary for the
modification sought. Proposed modifications to the property's use, operation,
physical condition or site plan shall also be required to return to the appropriate
development review board or boards for consideration of the effect on prior
approvals and the affirmation, modification or release of previously issued
approvals or imposed conditions.

2. That if the subject property will be developed in phases, that each phase will be
developed in substantial accordance with the approved site plan.
3. That in the event of multiple ownerships subsequent to site plan approval that
each of the subsequent owners shall be bound by the terms, provisions and
conditions of the declaration of restrictive covenants. The owner shall further
agree that he or she will not convey portions of the subject property to such other
parties unless and until the owner and such other party or parties shall have
executed and mutually delivered, in recordable form, an instrument to be known
as an "easement and operating agreement" which provides for easements
between the parcels. These can contain among other things:
a. Easements in the common area of each parcel for ingress to and egress
from the other parcels;
b. Easements in the common area of each
parking of vehicles;c. Easements in the common area of each
accommodation of pedestrians;
d. Easements for access roads across the common area of [each] parcel to
public and private roadways;
e. Easements for the installation, use, operation, maintenance, repair,
replacement, relocation and removal of utility facilities in appropriate
areas in each such parcel;f. Easements on each such parcel for construction of buildings and
improvements in favor of each such other parcel;
g. Easements upon each such parcel in favor of each adjoining parcel for
the installation, use, maintenance, repair, replacement and removal of
common construction improvements such as footings, supports and
foundations;
Easements on each parcel for attachment of buildings;
Easements on each parcel for building overhangs and other overhangs
and projections encroaching upon such parcel from the adjoining parcels
such as, by way of example, marquees, canopies, lights, lighting devices,
awnings, wing walls and the like;
Appropriate reservation of rights to grant easements to utility companies;
Appropriate reservation of rights to road right-of-ways and curb cuts;
Easements in favor of each such parcel for pedestrian and vehicular
traffic over dedicated private ring roads and access roads; and
Appropriate agreements between the owners of the several parcels as to
the obligation to maintain and repair all private roadways, parking
facilities, common areas and common facilities and the like.
ANALYSIS
A Unity of Title, and Covenant in Lieu of Unity of Title, are used for various purposes,
and do not always have floor area implications. ln some instances they are just for the
unification of properties of multiple ownerships for easement purposes. However, when
floor area is implicated, it becomes important to examine the charter language, where
the phrase "unified abutting parcels" becomes pertinent.
When the phrase "unified abutting parcels" is used, along with the covenant in lieu of
unity of title, it becomes possible to transfer floor area between different ownerships of
parcel for the passage and
parcel for the passage and

abutting parcels. The term "abutting parcels" usually refers to parcels that have lot lines
that touch, not separated by a street or alley. However, regardless of ownership, the
amount of FAR permitted by the Code cannot be increased within an overall unified site.
The Administration believes that the current language in the Ordinance can be an
effective planning tool in terms of providing flexibility for the distribution of allowable floor
area within a defined site. Moreover, the existing code does not permit a net increase in
overall FAR, should multiple sites be combined through either a covenant in lieu, or
other legal mechanisms. ln order to continue to provide a flexible planning mechanism, it
is recommended that the term "Unified Development Site" be defined as follows:
"A site where development is proposed comprising multiple lots with all
lots touching and not separated by another lot, street, sidewalk or alley".
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On September 23,2014, the Planning Board (by a vote of 6-0) transmitted the proposed
Ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation.
FISGAL IMPACT
ln 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 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 a negative fiscal impact upon the City.
SUMMARY / UPDATE
On October 22, 2014, the City Commission, at First Reading, referred the Ordinance
back to the Land Use Committee for further discussion and input. The subject
Ordinance, based upon the initial referral, pertains only to the creation of a definition for
a "Unified Development Site". After further review of the relevant section of the City
Code (section 118-5), and in consultation with the City Attorney's Office, the
Administration suggested further review and modifications to the whole Section, as
opposed to simply adding a definition.
On January 21, 2015, the Land Use Committee discussed the proposed revisions to the
Ordinance, as well as a companion Ordinance pertaining to Lot Splits and Form of
Ownership. The Land Use Committee recommended that both items be referred to the
Planning Board for consideration. As such, the Administration would recommend that
the Commission open and continue the item, and re-refer the matter back to the
Planning Board to allow for additional study and appropriate modifications.
GONGLUSION
ln accordance with the January 21,2015 recommendation of the Land Use Committee,
the Administration recommends that the City Commission:
1. Open and continue First Reading for the proposed Ordinance to a date certain of
April 15,2015; and
2. Refer the item to the Planning Board for further modifications.

BEACH, (THE APPLIGANT); WAIVING BY 5/7TH VOTE, THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING
AND APPRATSAL REQUTREMENTS PURSUANT TO SECTTON 82-39(A) AND (B) OF
THE CITY CODE, FINDING THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST WOULD BE SERVED BY
WAIVING SUCH COND!T!ONS.
BACKGROUND
On May 3,2012, the City of Miami Beach entered into an architectural design contract with premier
architect Zaha Hadid Limited and Berenblum Busch Architecture lnc., for these firms to design the
proposed Collins Park Garage. The Garage has been designed with retail on the first floor, and upper
levels with public parking spaces. The City owns the properties upon which the garage will be built,
including lots 7, 9, and 11 of Block 2 of the Amended Map of the Ocean Front Property of the Miami
Beach lmprovement Company (Plat Book 5, Page 7); and Lots 1,3,5, 7 and 9 of Block 1 of the
Amended Map of the Ocean Front Property of the Miami Beach lmprovement Company (Plat Book 5,
Page 7). Between blocks 1 and 2 is Liberty Avenue, a 50 foot wide public right-of-way consisting of
approximately 12,500 square feet (Exhibit A).
ANALYS!S
The City's Capital lmprovement Projects Office reviewed the proposed architectural plans with
planning, public works, the fire department, and the building department. The architectural design
includes the development of a pedestrian plaza within Liberty Avenue between 22nd Street and 23'd
Street. The parking garage structure also encroaches into Liberty Avenue and the air rights above
Liberty Avenue are being utilized by the parking structure to cross over from Block 1 onto Block 2. ln
order for the proposed parking garage structure be able to obtain a building permit, the right-of-way
needs to be vacated. As Liberty Avenue has been contemplated to be a pedestrian public plaza, with
no vehicular access, and as the City owns all the parcels adjacent to Liberty Avenue between 22nd and
23'd Streets (the City owns lots 1-10 on Block 1 and owns lots 7,9,11,4,6,8, 10 and 12 of Block 2),
should Liberty Avenue be vacated, title to the vacated right-of-way would transfer to the adjacent
property owners, which would be the City of Miami Beach, and if required, utility easements could be
granted.

COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A Resolution Of The Mayor And City Commission Of The City Of Miami Beach, Florida, Approving A
Desired Minimum Elevation For The Crown Of Roads ln The City To Be One Foot Higher Than The
Tailwater Boundary Condition Elevation Established By The Mayor And City Commission To Allow For
Proper D Within The Citv And Protection From Tidal Floodi
lntended Outcome Su
Well maintained infrastructure
Item Summary/Recommendation :
The City is heavily investing in infrastructure improvements in order to mitigate flooding and meet the
challenges of sea level rise. The benefits from having new storm water pump stations, check valves, and
raising streets with low elevation will work collectively to maximize the effectiveness of these drainage
systems and minimize flooding on the streets. A new minimum standard for the crown of road will set
elevations of the cross section of the road.
Resolution 2014-28499 was passed by City Commission on February 12,2014 which modified the tailwater
elevation from 0.5 feet NAVD to 2.7 feet NAVD in the Stormwater Management Master Plan for all tidal
boundary conditions. The result of this modification creates a condition where engineering principles
dictate that inlet elevations be set no lower than the 2.7 leet NAVD. Since the inlets are placed at the
lowest point in the road, the crown of road will typically be a minimum of four to eight inches above that
elevation. Setting the crown of road one foot above the tailwater criteria is already consistentwith the prior
direction.
Not all roads in the City are below the proposed elevation, but there are some that have been historically
prone to flooding due to tidal events. Setting this criteria will allow the City to maintain better drainage for
safer travel during potential flooding events. lt will also extend the useful life of these new roads by raising
the base foundation material such that it will not be saturated with water, reducing cost for reconstruction in
the future and less construction impacts in our neighborhoods.
The City is currently working on a project on West Avenue, from Sth to 8th Streets, the short section on 6th
Street, between Alton and West Avenue, as well as a project on 17th Street, between Alton and the bridge
and a section of West Avenue, from Lincoln Road up to 17th Street. As part of the project, Bergeron Land
Development lnc. (Bergeron) has been assisting the City in developing concepts related to street
elevations, which will be required in order to raise the streets to a level that will be less susceptible to
flooding. A typical design section is attached for four separate locations/scenarios within this project area.
Atthe December 10,2014 Flooding Mitigation Committee meeting, a presentation of thesefourscenarios
was made by Bergeron regarding the existing road conditions and the result of raising the roadway, in
relation to the finished floor elevation of the adjacent properties. ln order to maintain access to those
businesses and obtain the overall desired infrastructure, a harmonization or transition from the proposed
roadway elevation down to an existing finished floor elevation will be required in some cases. During the
presentation different harmonization alternatives were presented to the Committee so that initial concerns
could be discussed. The Committee talked through the concerns with the alternatives presented and
requested that this item be brought to a full Commission for further discussion.
THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS ADOPTING THE RESOLUTION.

ADMINISTRATION REGOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution
ANALYSIS
ln an effort to collect delinquent fees from the Parking Fee in Lieu of Program (the
"Program"), the Administration has met with several property owners owing such fees.
Consistently, there has been a demand for a payment plan to pay the sometime large fees.
ln order to expedite the collection of these fees, the Administration is recommending the
adoption of the attached Resolution authorizing payment plans under strict and non-
negotiable conditions. lf a property owner wishes to amend any of the conditions in the
Resolution, that owner would have to seek City Commission approval of that settlement
545
offer. However, if the property owner agrees to the conditions, this Resolution would
authorize the City Manager to execute the settlement offer without any further Commission
actionrequired. Theconditionsfortheseproposedpaymentplansettlementsareasfollows:
(1) The current fiscal year fee must be paid by prior to entering into payment plan for
delinquent fees.
(2) The delinquent account must repaythe entire amount due to the City, regardless of year
delinquency occurred.
(3) The delinquent account must have an active and correct Business Tax Receipt (BTR).
(a) No payment plan may exceed 36 months in length.
(5) Failure to comply with the payment plan shall result in a revocation of the account's
BTR, revocation of CO/CU.
(6) Demand for immediate payment of the total outstanding balance becomes due and
payable if payment is not received by the 1Oth of the month.(7) Authorizing the City Managerto take such action and execute any and all necessary
documents to coordinate the execution of payment plans.

The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and the City
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: February 11,2015
SUBJECT: Agenda ltem R9D - Update on
Camera Deployment
ice Department Policy on Body
This memorandum is prepared to advise the Commission that the Police Department has
drafted a policy for the use of body cameras by police olficers during an initial pilot phase of
the program. The attached policy addresses all elements of use, recording, storage,
retention and distribution of digital material captured by the cameras.
The deployment of body cameras by law enforcement agencies is a new and evolving issue
in American policing. ln arriving at this initial policy, the Department reviewed a wide variety
of similar polices from around the state and country, as well as a national study conducted
by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF). Because this technology is so new, there
isnosettled"bestpractice"intheindustry. lnstead,thereisavarietyofapproachesbypolice
departments on several important issues, such as whether to record crime victims' and
witness' statements, whether to turn the camera on in a home, and how long to keep
records.
The attached policy has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office, which concurs that it is
appropriate for an initial pilot program. The Chief of Police is awaiting comment from the
Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) regarding the proposal and will consider the comments by
the FOP before settling on any final policy.
The Chief and the MBPD Command Staff fully expect that this policy will almost certainly
undergo revisions during the pilot phase of deployment. There will be feedback and lessons
learned -- from officers, their supervisors and residents that are impacted by the pilot
program. Also, there arc a host of logistical challenges associated with capturing,
downloading, storing and retrieving the digital recordings, all of which will impact the
determination of a final policy.
An initial shipment of cameras has arrived. Officers must still be trained on camera

relating to Planning Board File no 2151, for applicants, South Beach Heights ll, LLC and KMC
Equities, LLC, for the prolect at 709, 721 and 745 Alton Road. The applicants sought substantial
modification of a conditional use approval previously granted on February 25,2014. The proposed

provide a definition other than medical office or hospital, and the Planning Board after hearing the
testimony has concerns over the possible impacts to the neighborhood and seeks further
clarification to determine if there is or is not an impact from the various proposed medical-type
uses, identified as, amongst other things, an urgent care center, outpatient surgery center;
diagnostic center. The Code does not define urgent care, outpatient surgery or a diagnostic
center.
The Planning Board unanimously requested the City Commission authorize the expenditure of
funds in order to obtain an lndependent Study of the lmpacts to the Community, and specifically,
the Neighborhood, as it relates to these types of medical uses, and location. A copy of the
resolution of the Board is attached. The Planning Board asks that the City retain a medical
consultant, along with other consultants to address the impact of the uses, the operational plans for
such uses, the traffic relating to such issues, and the intensity of the uses.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members of
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: February 11,2015
SUBJECT: STATUS UPDATE ON THE PAR RANGER PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
An enhancement was approved in the adopted FY 2014115 General Operating Budget to create
a Park Ranger Program in response to a growing need to provide improved security at our
parks. The allocated amount to fund the new program is $208,000. Representatives from Police
and the Parks and Recreation Department have been collaborating to develop a program that
ensures operational synergy between both departments. The program will be housed in the
Parks and Recreation Department. The Police Department will fund one dedicated Police
Sergeant position who will be assigned to work out in the field and oversee the operations of the
program.
A companion item is being presented at the February 11,2015 City Commission meeting
regarding Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 2015-013-WG for security guard services. The total
amount allocated in the FY 2014115 Police Department budget for contracted security services
is $1,382,766 ($947,804 General Fund and $434,962 RDA). ln lieu of providing contracted
security services to the parks, the Administration is recommending to reallocate a portion of the
FY 2014115 funding in order to fund a successful Park Ranger Program. This program would
provide in-house security services at the following City parks:
Soundscape Park
South Pointe Park and Pier
Flamingo Park
North Shore Park & Youth Center
North Beach Area Parks
The Park Ranger Program will provide staffing at the above referenced parks during peak
hours, including weekends and holidays in order to provide enhanced safety and security to our
park patrons. Job descriptions are currently being developed for the newly created positions
and will include job duties which mirror those of a Code Compliance Officer with respect to
issuing code violations.

Commission Memorandum - Status Update on Park Ranger Program
February 'J.L,2015
Page 2 of 2
The proposed staffing for the Park Ranger Program is as follows:
o 1 dedicated Police Sergeant tasked with field work and operational oversight of the
program (funded by Police)
. 1 Park Ranger Field Supervisor (Full-Time)
. 5 Park Rangers (Full-Time)
o Part-Time Park Rangers - FY 2015116 = 22,130* hours (*estimated hours/14 PT
Rangers)
This proposed staffing will provide approximately 3,189 hours a month of security coverage at
the aforementioned parks during the current fiscal year (FY 2014115). This number will increase
to approximately 3,264 hours a month for FY 2015116. The dedicated Police Sergeant and the
civilian supervisor will both be assigned to work out in the field overseeing Park Ranger
personnel. These estimated figures are consistent with the current level of service being
provided through the existing contracted security services. The joint efforts from Police and
Parks and Recreation will help to ensure the City is providing the highest level of security
services for our park patrons. By maintaining oversight of the program, the City will gain better
control over the quality of staffing and customer service being provided. Administration
recommends the City Commission approve the reallocation of existing funding from contracted
services in order to implement the proposed Park Ranger Program. lf approved, the
Administration will finalize the necessary steps in order to begin the recruitment process as

City Altorney's Report
February 11,2015
Page 2
The City has requested that Xerox (the City's Vendor) indemnify, hold harmless,
assert defenses on its behalf, and continue defending the City through the conclusion
of the pending Federal Class Action Lawsuit pursuant to the Agreement. The Class
Action Lawsuit directly challenges the City's Red Light Camera Enforcement Program
("the Program") pursuant to the Agreement between Xerox and the City, which
expressly authorized the issuance of violations against owners of those motor
vehicles who proceeded into an intersection equipped with a traffic control signal
monitoring system operated by Xerox. In that regard, the Class Action Lawsuit seeksto invalidate the City's Program and any violations issued accordingly, and to
disgorge those monetary payments received under the Program.
The City estimates that the amount of losses will be those monetary payments that
have been received under the Photo Red Light Enforcement Program, and the
awarding of attorneys'fees, if any, and costs of litigating the Class Action Lawsuit. At
present, the Federal Court has dismissed the Class Action Complaint without
prejudice, but it is expected to be refiled.
Case # 15-000806 CA 01(Circuit Court
Judicial Circuit in and for Miami Dade County).
The City was served with this complaint on January 16, 2015 alleging that the City
entered into a landscaping contract with Southem Landscaping Enterprises in May of
2011 and required the contractor to provide a General Liability and Automobile
lnsurance Policies of one million dollars each and name the City as an additional
named insured on both policies. The bid stipulates that the contracting company shall
have been in continuous service and incorporated in the State of Florida for a
minimum of four (4) years. The complaint alleges that Southern Landscaping was
inactive and administratively dissolved on September 25, 2009. The complaint alleges
that the contract was offered to Southern Landscaping without checking to see that
Southern Landscaping was validly in business and the contract with offered to
Southern Landscaping in contravention of the bid requirement that the company
offered the contract be in continuous service and incorporated in the State if Florida
for a minimum of four (4) years. Further, the complaint alleges that Southern
Landscaping provided forged and fraudulent insurance certificates in compliance with
the insurance requirements stipulated in the contract.
On June 6th 2013, a worker for Southern Landscaping while working in Bandshell
Park doing landscaping work pursuant to the contract drove a Southern Landscaping
F-150 with an attached trailer off the paved area and unto the grassy area in the Park
and ran over the Plaintiff, Otoniel Hernandez, who was lying on the grass. The plaintiff
was attended to by City of Miami Beach Fire Rescue and transported to Ryder
Trauma Center where he was pronounced paraplegic and is permanently paralyzed
from the thoracic spine down to both lower limbs. The Plaintiff is suing the City under
the theory of breach of contract by a third party beneficiary, negligent hiring and
retention of Southern Landscaping by the City and negligence-premises liability as
owner. We shall file our answer to the complaint and propound discovery.
The City is in the process of exploring possible settlement of the case.

Miami Beach resident, Jose Raij, relocated his store from his original Lincoln Road location to
the Anchor Shops in 2Q12 occupying Units 1 - 4. He has been an excellent tenant and has
always paid timely.
FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) considered this item at their January
7, 2015 meeting and recommended the RDA approve and enter into a Lease Agreement with
Mr. R Sports, lnc. for Unit No. 5 at the Anchor Shops.
RECOMMENDAT!ON
The Administration concurs with the FCWPC recommendation and recommends a lease
agreement between the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency (Landlord) and Mr. R Sports, lnc.
(Tenant), in connection with the Anchor Shops, located at 100 16th Street, Suite No. 5, Miami
Beach, Florida (Space), for an initial term ending on October 1,2015, with two (2) renewal
option of three (3) years and three (3) years and 364 days respectively. This term coincides
with the lease term for the other space occupied by Mr. R Sports, lnc. and would essentially
have both leases following concurrent terms.
It should further be noted that since Anchor Garage and Shops is owned by the RDA, it is not
subject to the public hearing requirements set forth under Section 82-39 of the City Code that

equipment and/or lighting to achieve compliance within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from Landlord,
or such equipment and/or lighting may remain in the Premises, so long as (a) Tenant shall pay for all costs of

section 6.1, or should any such insurance not be approved by either Landlord or any mortgagee, and Tenant does
not commence and continue to diligently cure such default within two (2) business days after written notice by
Landlord to Tenant specifying the nature of such default, then Landlord has the right, without assuming any
obligation in connection therewith, to effect such insurance at the sole cost of Tenant and all outlays by Landlord
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of Landlord
under this Lease. Tenant shall not keep or use in the Premises any article which may be prohibited by any fire or
casualty insurance policy in force from time to time covering the Premises or the Retail Space. Landlord
represents that Tenant's permitted use doesn't violate any policy carried by the Landlord.
6.2 Loss or Damaqe, Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord will be performing any maintenance and
repairs required of Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall not be liable for any death or injury arising from or out of any

injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, falling ceiling tile, falling
fixtures, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain, flood, or leaks from any part of the Premises or from the pipes,
sprinklers, appliances, plumbing works, roof, windows, or subsurface of any floor or ceiling of the Retail Space or

and against any and all loss (including loss of Minimum Rent and additional rent payable in respect to the
Premises), claims, actions, damages, liability, and expense of any kind whatsoever (including attorneys' fees and
costs at all tribunal levels), unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, arising from
any occurrence in, upon, or at the Premises, or the occupancy, use, or improvement by Tenant or its agents or
invitees of the Premises or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant its
agents, employees, and invitees or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises by Tenant.
6.3 Waiver of Subroqation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives on behalf of itself and its
insurers (none of which shall ever be assigned any such claim or be entitled thereto due to subrogation or
othenuise) any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against the other, its agents, officers, or
employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, or any improvements thereto or the Retail
Space, or any improvements thereto, or any personal propefi of such party therein, by reason of fire, the
elements, or any other causes which are, or could or should be insured against under the terms of the standard
fire and extended coverage insurance policies referred to in this Lease, regardless of whether such insurance is
actually maintained and regardless of the cause or origin of the damage involved, including negligence of the other
party hereto, its agents, officers, or employees. Landlord and Tenant shall each obtain from their respective
insurers, under all policies of fire, theft, public liability, worker's compensation, and other insurance maintained by
either of them at any time during the term hereof insuring or covering the Retail Space or any portion thereof or
operations therein, a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer of one party might have against the other
party, and Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other against any loss or
expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees (appellate or otherwise) resulting from the failure to obtain such
waiver.
ARTICLE VII. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.
7.1 Damaqe to Premises. Tenant acknowledges that if the Premises are partially or totally destroyed
due to fire or other casualty, any repairs to or rebuilding of the damaged portions of the Retail Space will be
performed by Landlord and in any event only to the extent that Landlord is required to repair or rebuild the Retail
Space. lf Landlord repairs or rebuilds, Rent shall abate proportionately to the portion of the premises, if any,
rendered untenantable from the date of destruction or damage until the repairs have been substantially completed.
Upon being notified that the repairs have been substantially completed, Tenant shall diligenly perform ali other
work required to fully restore the Premises for use in Tenant's business, in every case at Tenani's cost and without
674
any contribution to such cost by Landlord, whether or not Landlord has at any time made any contribution to the
cost of supply, installation, or construction of leasehold improvements in the Premises. Tenant agrees that during
any period of reconstruction or repair of the Premises, it will continue the operation of its business within the
Premises to the extent practicable. lf all or any part of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty
and the fire or other casualty is caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or Tenant's agents, guest, or invitees, rent
and all other charges shall not abate.
7.2 Termination for Damaqe. Notwithstanding section 7.1, tf damage or destruction which has
occurred to the Premises or the Retail Space is such that in the reasonable opinion of Landlord such
reconstruction or repair cannot be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days of the happening of the
damage or destruction, Landlord or Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease on notice to the other given
within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction and Tenant shall immediately deliver vacant possession of
the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
ln addition, if Landlord undertakes the reconstruction or repair, and does not complete same within
nine (9) months after the date of the fire or other casualty (subject to the time required to prepare plans for
reconstruction, to obtain building permits, to receive distribution of insurance proceeds, and to complete the likely
contract bidding process and all other relevant factors, but not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days), then
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within thirty (30) days
after the expiration of such nine (9) month period (or as extended), whereupon both parties shall be relieved of all
further obligations hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
ARTICLE VIII. ASSIGNMENT, LEASES, AND TRANSFERS.
8.1 Transfer by Tenant. Tenant shall not enter into, consent to, or permit any Transfer, as hereinafter
defined, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld. For purposes of this Lease, "Transfer" means an assignment of this Lease in whole or in part; a
sublease of all or any part of the Premises; any transaction whereby the rights of Tenant under this Lease or to the
Premises are transferred to another; any mortgage or encumbrance of this Lease or the Premises or any part
thereof or other arrangement under which either this Lease or the Premises become security for any indebtedness
or other obligations; and if Tenant is a corporation or a partnership, the transfer of a controlling interest (greater
than 50%) in the stock of the corporation or partnership interests, as applicable provided transfers to family
members and transfers to third parties of less than 50% of the stock of the Tenant are permitted without Landlord
consent. lf there is a permitted Transfer, Landlord may collect rent or other payments from the transferee and
apply the net amount collected to the rent or other payments required to be paid pursuant to this Lease but no
acceptance by Landlord of any payments by a transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provisions hereof
regarding Tenant. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under
this Lease. Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall be subject to the further condition that if the Minimum Rent
and additional rent pursuant to such Transfer exceeds the Minimum Rent and additional rent payable under this
Lease, the amount of such excess shall be paid to Landlord. lf, pursuant to a permitted Transfer, Tenant receives
from the transferee, either directly or indirectly, any consideration other than Minimum Rent and additional rent for
such Transfer, either in the form of cash, goods, or services, Tenant shall, upon receipt thereof, pay to Landlord an
amount equivalent to such consideration. Landlord acknowledges that any proceeds received in connection with
the sale of Tenant's business (which sale shall include a corresponding assignment of this Lease) shall belong
exclusively to the Tenant and/or its principals).
ARTICLE IX. DEFAULT.
9.1 Defaults. A default by Tenant shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder, if and whenever:
(i) any Minimum Rent is not paid within 5 days from notice or demand for payment has been made by Landlord;
(ii) any other additional rent is in arrears and is not paid within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord;
(iii)Tenant has breached any of its obligations in this Lease (other than the payment of rent) and Tenant fails to
remedy such breach within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as may be provided in this Lease), or if such
breach cannot reasonably be remedied within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period), then if Tenant fails to
immediately commence to remedy and thereafter proceed diligently to remedy such breach, in each case after
10
675
notice in writing from Landlord; (iv) Tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent; (v) any of Landlord's policies of
insurance with respect to the Retail Space are canceled or adversely changed as a result of Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Premises; or (vi) the business operated by Tenant in the Premises shall be closed by
governmental or court order for any reason.
9.2 Remedies. ln the event of any default hereunder by Tenant, then without prejudice to any other
rights which it has pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the following rights and
remedies, which are cumulative and not alternative:
(A) Landlord may cancel this Lease by notice to Tenant and retake possession of the
Premises for Landlord's account, or may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without
terminating this Lease. ln either event, Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord. lf Landlord
terminates Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Tenant's liability under all
of the provisions of this Lease shall continue notwithstanding any expiration and surrender, or any re-entry,
repossession, or disposition hereunder.
(B) Landlord may enter the Premises as agent of Tenant to take possession of any propefi
of Tenant on the Premises, to store such propefi at the expense and risk of Tenant or to sell or otherwise dispose
of such property in such manner as Landlord may see fit without notice to Tenant. Re-entry and removal may be
effectuated by summary dispossess proceedings, by any suitable action or proceeding, or othenrise. Landlord
shall not be liable in any way in connection with its actions pursuant to this section, to the extent that its actions are
in accordance with law.
(C) lf Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without terminating
this Lease under subsection (A) above, Tenant shall remain liable (in addition to accrued liabilities) to the extent
legally permissible for all rent and all of the charges Tenant would have been required to pay until the date this
Lease would have expired had such cancellation not occurred. Tenant's liability for rent shall continue
notwithstanding re-entry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord. ln addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord such sums as the court which has jurisdiction thereover may adjudge as reasonable attorneys'
fees with respect to any successful lawsuit or action instituted by Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease.
(D) Landlord may relet all or any part of the Premises for all or any part of the unexpired
portion of the Term of this Lease or for any longer period, and may accept any rent then attainable; grant any
concessions of rent, and agree to paint or make any special repairs, alterations, and decorations for any new
tenant as it may deem advisable in its sole and absolute discretion. Landlord shall be under no obligation to relet or
to attempt to relet the Premises, except as expressly set forth below.
(E) lf Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without terminating
this Lease under subsection (A) above, and Landlord so elects, the rent hereunder shall be accelerated and
Tenant shall pay Landlord damages in the amount of any and all sums which would have been due for the
remainder of the Term (reduced to present value using a discount factor equal to the stated prime lending rate on
the date of Tenant's default by Landlord's then existing mortgagee or, if there is no mortgagee, by Citibank, N.A.,
New York). Prior to or following payment in full by Tenant of such discounted sum prompfly upon demand,
Landlord shall use good faith efforts to relet the Premises. lf Landlord receives consideration as a result of a
reletting of the Premises relating to the same time period for which Tenant has paid accelerated rent, such
consideration actually received by Landlord, less any and all of Landlord 's cost of repairs, alterations, additions,
redecorating, and other expenses in connection with such reletting of the Premises, shall be a credit against such
discounted sum, and such discounted sum shall be reduced if not yet paid by Tenant as called for herein, or if
Tenant has paid such discounted sum, such credited amount shall be repaid to Tenant by Landlord (provided said
credit shall not exceed the accelerated amount).
(F) Landlord may remedy or attempt to remedy any default of Tenant under this Lease for the
account of Tenant and to enter upon the Premises for such purposes. No notice of Landlord's intention to perform
such covenants need be given Tenant unless expressly required by this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any loss or damage caused by the reasonable acts of Landlord in remedying or attempting to remedy
such default and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with remedying or
11
676
attempting to remedy such default. Any expenses incurred by Landlord shall accrue interest from the date of
payment by Landlord until repaid by Tenant at the highest rate permitted by law.
9.3 Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand all costs incurred by Landlord, including attorneys'
fees and costs at all tribunal levels, incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease. ln addition, upon any default by Tenant, Tenant shall be also liable to Landlord for the expenses to which
Landlord may be put in re-entering the Premises; repossessing the Premises; painting, altering, or dividing the
Premises; combining the Premises with an adjacent space for any new tenant; putting the Premises in proper
repair; protecting and preserving the Premises by placing watchmen and caretakers therein; reletting the Premises
(including attorneys' fees and disbursements, marshall's fees, and brokerage fees, in so doing); and any other
expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord.
9.4 Additional Remedies: Waiver. The rights and remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be in
addition to any other right and remedy now and hereinafter provided by law. All rights and remedies shall be
cumulative and non-exclusive of each other. No delay or omission by Landlord in exercising a right or remedy
shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence to, a default.
9.5 Default by Landlord. ln the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant's exclusive remedy shall be
an action for damages or injunction, but prior to any such action Tenant will give Landlord written notice specifying
such default with particularity, and Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice
in which to cure such default (provided, however, that if such default reasonably requires more than thirty (30)
days to cure, Landlord shall have a reasonable time to cure such default, provided Landlord commences to cure
within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion). Notwithstanding
any provision of this Lease, Landlord shall not at any time have any personal liability under this Lease. ln the event
of any breach or default by Landlord of any term or provision of this Lease, Tenant agrees to look solely to the
equity or interest then-owned by Landlord in the Retail Space, and in no event shall any deficiency judgment be
sought or obtained against Landlord. lt is expressly understood that the obligations of Landlord under this Lease
are solely corporate obligations, and that, except for conversion, fraud, or willful misconduct, no personal liability
will attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, otficers, directors, or employees, as
such, of the Landlord, or of any successor corporation, or any of them, under or by reason of the obligations,
covenants, or agreements of Landlord contained in this Lease or implied therefrom; and, except for conversion,
fraud, or willful misconduct, that any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by
constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder,
officer, director, or employee, as such, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in this Lease or implied therefrom are expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a
consideration for, the execution of this Lease.

collateral financing (including renewals or extensions thereof), and to any and all ground leases, made or arranged
by Landlord of its interests in all or any part of the Retail Space, from time to time in existence against the Retail
Space, whether now existing or hereafter created. Such subordination shall not require any further instrument to
12
677
evidence such subordination. However, on request, Tenant shall further evidence its agreement to subordinate
this Lease and its rights under this Lease to any and all documents and to all advances made under such
documents. The form of such subordination shall be made as required by Landlord, its lender, ground lessor, the
City. Tenant shall, if requested by Landlord, or a mortgagee, owner, or purchaser, or by any person succeeding to

one(1) month in advance, or (b)any security deposit or the like not actually received by Landlord, such
mortgagee, owner, or purchaser, or successor, or (c) any amendment or modification in this Lease made without
the consent of Landlord, such mortgagee, owner, purchaser, or successor, or (d) any construction obligation, free
rent, or other concession or monetary allowance, or (e) any set-off, counterclaim, or the like otherwise available
against Landlord, or (f) any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord). Upon request by Landlord,
said mortgagee, owner, or purchaser, or successor, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments
confirm ing its attorn ment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such subordination of this Lease shall be conditioned on the Landlord
obtaining a nondisturbance agreement in favor of Tenant from all mortgagees and ground lessors regarding any
financings or overleases entered into by Landlord with respect to the Retail Space, and no subordination shall be
effective without a correspond i n g nond istu rbance ag reement.
ARTICLE XI. CONTROL OF RETAIL SPACE BY LANDLORD.
11.1 Use and Maintenance of Common Areas. Tenant and those doing business with Tenant for
purposes associated with Tenant's business on the Premises, shall have a non-exclusive license to use the
common areas for their intended purposes during normal business hours in common with others entitled thereto

common areas in good repair and condition and shall clean the common areas when necessary. Tenant
acknowledges that any common areas of the Retail Space shall at all times be under the exclusive control and
management of Landlord. For purposes of this Lease, "common areas" shall mean those areas, facilities, utilities,
improvements, equipment, and installations of the Retail Space which serve or are for the benefit of tenants of
