A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2025-33839 AND
DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE ALL STEPS NECESSARY TO
PROCEED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW FIRE STATION NO. 1
AT THE SOUTH SHORE COMMUNITY CENTER SITE, LOCATED AT 833 6TH
STREET.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach has undertaken a multi -year effort to replace the
aging Fire Station No. 1, originally built in 1967 at 1051 Jefferson Avenue, with funding from the
2018 General Obligation Bond and a $10.9 million grant from the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP); and
WHEREAS, following extensive analysis and public process, the City Commission
previously selected the South Shore Community Center (SSCC) site at 833 6th Street as the
preferred location for the new Fire Station No. 1, and the project reached 90% design completion
with permits in process and construction scheduled to begin; and
WHEREAS, in response to community concerns, the Administration explored alternative
sites, including Flamingo Park and privately owned parcels; and
WHEREAS, although a referendum authorized consideration of Flamingo Park,
subsequent analysis revealed that the negative impacts of constructing a fire station on the track
rendered Flamingo Park no longer a viable site; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2025-33839 excluding both
Flamingo Park and the SSCC site from further consideration; and
WHEREAS, the Administration has confirmed that continued delays jeopardize the FDEP
grant and risk further cost escalation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby rescind Resolution No. 2025-33839 and direct the Administration to take all
steps necessary to proceed with the construction of the new Fire Station No. 1 at the South Shore
Community Center site, located at 833 6th Street, as originally planned.
