FROM:Eric Carpenter, City Manager
DATE:March 18, 2026 10:40 a.m. First Reading Public Hearing
TITLE:APPENDIX A FEE SCHEDULE MODIFICATION - ADVERTISING FEES
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING APPENDIX "A" TO THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES TO CHANGE THE ADVERTISEMENT FEES FOR PUBLIC
NOTICES REQUIRED BY SECTION 2.2.3.5 OF THE RESILIENCY CODE; AND
PROVIDING FOR REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) approve
the subject ordinance at First Reading and schedule a Second Reading public hearing for April
22, 2026.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On February 3, 2025, the City Commission adopted Ordinance 2025-4683, amending the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code (LDRs). Specifically, section 2.2.4.1 of the LDR’s was
amended by replacing the previous requirement for a 30-day published notice in a newspaper of
general circulation with a 30-day on-line notice, published on a website hosted by Miami-Dade
County, consistent with the requirements of section 50.0311, Florida Statutes. This included
public hearing notices required pursuant to Section 2.2.4.1 of the LDRs for applications before
the City’s four land use boards (Board of Adjustment, Design Review Board, Historic Preservation
Board and Planning Board).
ANALYSIS
The change to online published notices has resulted in a decrease in the amount of advertisement
fees for land use board applications that utilize online notices. The proposed ordinance amends
Appendix A to modify the advertisement fees for land use board applications. The current fee
($2,039.00) is specific to advertisements published in a newspaper. The proposed amendment
creates a range from $100.00 (for online advertisements) to $2,039.00 (for notices published in
newspapers).
