Ballot Question regarding Ocean Drive alcohol hours of sale
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
The Planning Department has reviewed the Resolution calling for a special election and hereby
submits the following analysis to the City Commission. The Ordinance proposed in the ballot
measure would amend the MXE district regulations to change the curent 5:00 a.m. termination
time to 2:00 a.m. for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages on private property at
alcoholic beverage establi$hments located on Ocean Drive from Sth to 15th Streets, exempting
from this time change those indoor portions of alcoholic beverage establishments that are
completely enclosed and located entirely within hotels.
The Ordinance, which is applicable only to a portion of the MXE zoning district, creates
restrictions on the hours of sale of alcoholic beverages by certain alcoholic beverage
establishments. The proposed restrictions are within the City's authority to regulate the hours of
sale of alcoholic beverages.
The Ordinance is consistent with the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive
Plan and, accordingly, requires no amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.1 Additionally, as
the Ordinance does not propose to rezone the subject portion of the MXE district, the Ordinance
does not constitute a map amendrnent. The Ordinance further does not constitute a
development order as it does not rnodify any City building permits, land development board
orders, or other development orders.

Backqround
On February 10, 2016, at the request of Commissioner Michael Grieco, the City
Commission referred a discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee
(LUDC) relating to medical cannabis. Commissioner Grieco desired to discuss, in
anticipation of the statewide initiative under "ballot question 2," regulations relating to
medical cannabis. The statewide initiative ballot proposed to allow the use of marijuana
for debilitating medical conditions. Due to the historical federal and state prohibition of
cannabis as an illegal narcotic, the City of Miami Beach did not have any land
development regulations nor business tax receipt procedures to govern the use of
real property for the purpose of on- site distribution, sale, delivery or retail of low-
THC cannabis, medical cannabis or cannabis delivery devices. Commissioner
Grieco sought to explore land use regulations relating to medical cannabis, in case
5

Page 2 of 5
the statewide ballot was enacted.
Statewide Ballot on the Use of Mariiuana for Debilitatins Medical Conditions:
On November 8, 2016, a supermajority of Florida voters (79 percent of Miami Beach
residents) approved Amendment 2 to the Florida Constitution, entitled "Use of Marijuana
for Debilitating Medical Conditions." Amendment 2 generally provides for the following in
the Florida Constitution, at Article X, Section 29:
"Allows medical use of marijuana for individuals with debilitating medical conditions as
determined by a licensed Florida physician. Allows caregivers to assist patients' medical
use of marijuana. The Department of Health shall register and regulate centers that
produce and distribute marijuana for medical purposes and shall issue identification
cards to patients and caregivers. Applies only to Florida law. Does not immunize
violations of federal law or any non-medical use, possession or production of marijuana."
The Amendment required that the Florida Department of Health provide rules for the
implementation of the Amendment within six (6) months of the effective date of the
Amendment, which was January 6,2017. Due to the potential for impacts to surrounding
areas, the City started considering regulations regarding the location and requirements
for medical marijuana dispensaries, in advance of any potential state regulations taking
effect, to ensure that potential impacts are minimized and mitigated.
The Amendment recognized the public policy that the medical use of marijuana by a
qualifying patient or caregiver in compliance with Section 29 of the Constitution is not
subject to criminal or civil liability or sanctions under Florida law. Section 29 also
recognizes that a physician shall not be subject to criminal or civil liability or sanctions
under Florida law solely for issuing a physician certification with reasonable care to a
person diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition; and actions and conduct by a
Medical Marijuana Treatment Center registered with the Department, or its agents or
employees, and in compliance with Section 29 and Department regulations, shall not be
subject to criminal or civil liability or sanctions under Florida law.
Gitv Lesislative Historv on Medical Cannabis
On November 9, 2016, the City Commission adopted a five (5) month moratorium on
medical marijuana dispensaries sponsored by Commissioner Ricky Arriola), retroactive
to October 19, 2016 (Ordinance No. 2016-4051). Additionally, the City Commission
referred the draft legislation pending in the Land Use & Development Committee to the
Planning Board. The City Commission adopted the moratorium so that the City could
create rules and regulations relating to the location, and minimum zoning and licensure
requirements for the industry.
On November 16, 2016, the Land Use and Development Committee (LUDC) discussedthe item and continued it to a date certain of December 12, 20i6.
On December 12, 2016, the LUDC discussed the item and recommended that the City
Commission extend the current moratorium on medical marijuana facilities for three (3)
months and continued the item to January 18,2017. The Committee also requested that
staff analyze additional areas for the location of medical marijuana facilities, and bring
these findings back on January 18,2017.
On January 25,2017, the moratorium extension was approved by the City Commission
6
Memorandum on moratorium relating to medical marijuana treatment centers
June 28,2017
Page 3 of 5
on First Reading. However, on February 8, 2017, the extension failed at Second
Reading and the moratorium was NOT extended. The moratorium that was adopted on
November 9, 2016 expired on March 18,2017.
Based, originally, upon the direction of Commissioner Grieco (who later withdrew his
sponsorship due to a perceived conflict of interest); then at the direction of Commission
Arriola (who became an interim sponsor of the Legislation); once again Commissioner
Grieco (who had determined that he did not have a conflict of interest), and, finally,
under the direction of the sponsorship of Commissioner Aleman, staff drafted land
development regulations and business tax receipt legislation for the regulation of
medical cannabis. The proposed legislation took into consideration, amongst other
factors, the safety concerns raised by the police department, the proposed distance
requirements of such medical cannabis dispensaries [recommended by the various
sponsors and the Land Use and Development Committeel from parks, schools and
residential districts, so as to ensure that the proposed medical cannabis dispensaries
would not be a cause of concern for the health, safety, and welfare, of the residents, and
minor children of Miami Beach.
On January 18,2017, the LUDC discussed the item and continued it to a date certain of
February 15, 2017, to allow for the review of related proposed amendments regarding
the issuance of Business Tax Receipts for medical cannabis facilities. On February 15,
2017, the LUDC recommended that the Planning Board transmit the proposed
Ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation. On February 28,
2017, the Planning Board recommended approval of the proposed ordinances, and
zoning in progress was implemented.
Sometime after February 15, 2017, Commissioner Grieco again withdrew his
sponsorship of the ordinances. As a result, to fulfill the directive of the voters,
Commissioner Aleman became the final sponsor of the legislation: (1) a BTR medical
cannabis ordinance; and (2) land development regulations of medical cannabis
dispensaries. The draft ordinances were approved at First Reading on June 7, 2017.
Second Reading, public hearing, is scheduled for July 26,2017.
State Leqislation:
During the regular legislative session the Florida House and Senate failed to obtain a
consensus on medical marijuana. As a result, the regulation session ended, without a
final bill. The bill that,had been proposed authorized local regulation by municipalities
and counties, as to the zoning of medical marijuana dispensaries, and authorized local
business licensure. The proposed ordinances sponsored by Commissioner Aleman were
drafted to be consistent with the proposed state legislation.
However, on June 9, 2017, the Florida Legislature, during a special session - in less
than 48 hours time - introduced, modified, and passed, in both houses, a new cannabis
bill (SB 8-A, 3rd Engrossed). Governor Rick Scott signed the bill into law on June 23,
2017. Under the enacted bill, medical cannabis can be administered for the following
ailments: cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HlV, AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Crohn's
disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, terminal conditions, chronic
nonmalignant pain, and similar conditions to the above listed ailments. The law allows
for 10 companies to be licensed to cultivate, distribute, and to sell medical cannabis
through medical marijuana treatment centers. Each licensee can also deliver medical
7
Memorandum on moratorium relating to medical marijuana treatment centers
June 28,2017
Page 4 of 5
marijuana to an eligible patient's home.
The law provides, effective no later than July 3, 2017, that the licenses issue for the
cultivation, processing, manufacturing, distribution and sale through medical maruuana
treatment centers (what the City has called "medical cannabis dispensaries" or "medical
marijuana dispensaries"). The law allows for a maximum of 25 treatment centers,
Statewide, per license holder. Once there are 100,000 registered patients, the numberof treatment centers a license holder has, may increase by five (5), on a
statewide. Every time there is an additional 100,000 patients registered, each license
holder can add an additionalfive (5) treatment centers, statewide.
The law regulates the distribution of the Statewide number of treatment centers by
region, calculated based upon a percentage of the county population estimates from the
"Florida Estimates of Population 2016." The State has a population of 20,148,654 and
Miami-Dade County has a population of 2,700,794 (7.5 % of the state's population). !f
the 25 treatment center "initial" maximum is divided by 7.5 percent, it appears that 3.5-4
(rounded up) treatment centers, per license holder, can be located in Miami-Dade
County. Theoretically, with 10 license holders, and 4 treatment centers allowed in the
region, per each license holder, there could be up to 40 treatment centers in Miami-Dade
County. This number would rise by 5 treatment center, per license holder, every
1 00,000 registered patients.
State Preemption
Additionally, the law provides, in relevant part, that the regulation of medical marijuana is
preempted to the State, except as to the following:
(1) the "medical marijuana treatment center (medical cannabis dispensary) cannot be
within 500 feet of a public or private elementary school, middle school, or secondary
school unless the county or municipality approves the location through a formal
proceeding open to the public at which the county or municipality determines that the
location promotes the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community;
(2) that a city [or county] may ban medical marijuana treatment centers entirely; or
(3), if a city does not ban medical marijuana treatment centers, the city "may !!g! place
specific limits, by ordinance, on the number of dispensing facilities that may locate within
[that city]." Additionally, a city "may not enact ordinances for permitting or for
determining the location of dispensing facilities which are more restrictive than its
ordinances permifting or determining the locations for pharmacies licensed under
chapter 465. A municipality or county may not charge a medical marijuana treatment
center a license or permit fee in an amount greater than the fee charged by such [city] to
pharmacies."
(4) The preemption provisions of the state law does not prohibit any local jurisdiction
from ensuring medical marijuana treatment center facilities comply with the Florida
Building Code, the Florida Fire Prevention Code, or any local amendments to the Florida
Building Code or the Florida Fire Prevention Code.
8
Memorandum on moratorium relating to medical marfiuana treatment centers
June 28,20'17
Page 5 of 5
Gonclusion
The enacted Senate Bill 8A, would in effect require the City to either ban medical
maruuana treatment centers, or if the City authorizes the use, it shall be required to treat
such treatments centers like pharmacies (excluding areas within 500 feet of a school).
Theoretically, if the use is authorized by the City Commission, a large number of medical
marijuana treatment centers could operate on Miami Beach.
Under the existing land development regulations, pharmacies, unless prohibited by an
overlay, such as on Lincoln Road, or as part of the proposed Formula Retail ordinance
affecting the MXE, are permitted, as right in any 11, CD (CD-l, CD-2, CD-3) or CpS
(CPS-1, CPS-2, CPS-3, CPS-4) district. Additionally, they are an allowable accessory
use to:
1. Apartments and hotels in the RM3 district.
2. Hotels in the RM-2 district.
3. They may also be permitted as an accessory use to apartments and hotels in the
RPS-4 district.
4. As an accessory to hotel or apartment, they may also be permitted in limited
locations (pending distance separation) in MXE, should the formula retail ordinance be
enacted on June 28,2017.
The enacted Senate Bill 8-A has preempted the content of Commissioner Aleman's
proposed draft ordinances. All regulation of the number of medical cannabis treatment
centers, their location, and regulation via licensure (BTR) cannot be enacted.
Based upon the enactment of Senate Bill 8A, and its possible impacts on the Cityof Miami Beach, it is the recommendation of the City Aftorney's office to
implement a new moratorium relating to medical marijuana treatment centers so
as to best determine whether to allow the use or to further regulate pharmacies
and treatment centers.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and
Members of the City Commission
Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
FROM: Commissioner John Elizabeth Aleman
DATE: June28,2017
SUBJECT: Moratorium on Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers.
Statement to be read into the record
ln 2016, a supermajority of Florida voters supported the legalization of medical
marijuana. ln fact, 79 percent of all Miami Beach voters supported medical marijuana.
Since February 2016, nine months prior to the approval of the Constitutional
Amendment, the City Commission had been considering enacting ordinances relating to
the proper location for, and regulation of, medical marijuana treatment centers. ln fact,
when the original sponsor of the ordinances, Commissioner Michael Grieco, withdrew
his sponsorship on or about February 2017, I stepped up to the plate to ensure that
proper regulations would be put into place.
During the regular session which ended in May 2017, the Florida Legislature had
negotiated a medical marijuana bill that would have provided local zoning control to the
counties and cities of Florida. Based upon that draft bill, the City of Miami Beach had
begun drafting a medical cannabis licensure (BTR) ordinance that would ensure proper
background checks, security measures, bonding, etc. The City was also proposing to
create four districts in which a medical cannabis dispensary could open. The City
wanted to make sure that the use was not immediately adjacent to residential districts
that the use was not adjacent to private or public schools; or parks; and that sufficient
safeguards were in place to ensure that the use would not interfere with the general
health, safety and welfare of the community at large. Second reading of the ordinances
is scheduled for July 26,2017.
Unfortunately, the ordinances are now moot. On June 23, 2017, Governor Rick Scott,
signed into law Senate Bill 8-A, which has preempted the City from enacting the
proposed medical marijuana treatment center ordinances. ln short, unless the City
completely prohibits any medical marijuana treatment center from opening in the City,
the State law would require the City to regulate "medical marijuana treatment centers,"
unless those treatment centers are located within 500 feet of a public or private school,
equal to a pharmacy. As pharmacies are currently allowed in almost all commercial and
mixed use districts of the City, as well as within multifamily residential districts, the City
10
June 28, 2017
Page2ot2
would not be able to control the number of treatment centers, or regulate the hours of
sale, the signage, advertising, or security for such establishments.
Due to the State law, it is clear that it is necessary for the City to implement a
moratorium. The impacts of the State law on the economy of the City, on police
resources, and on the quality of life of our residents are uncalculated. The moratorium
would enable the City to be better prepared for allowing medical marijuana treatment
centers - in the proper locations and with the proper restrictions.
