Item Summary/Recommendation:
On March 9, 2004 the voters of the City were presented with a ballot question regarding whether the City
should sell waterfront property located at 2620 Biarritz Drive, with the sale proceeds to be utilized for the
renovation of the Normandy Shores Golf Course. The matter was approved by a majority of the voters at
that time.
On February 18, 2005, the property was offered for sale, at auction, to the highest qualified bidder, which
executed a Primary Real Estate Sales Contract. The Second highest bidder also executed a "Back-up"
Real Estate Sales Contract. On February 23, 2005, the Mayor and City Commission approved and
authorized execution of the Primary Contract and Back-Up Contract. The Property currently has a GU
zoning classification, and due to the conveyance to a private party requires a change in zoning district
classification. Since the property is located next to an RS-3 District, an RS3 designation would be the most
appropriate for the property once in private ownership.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission set the required Public Hearing for
April 20, 2005.

HISTORY
The Referendum
On December 10, 2003, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2003-
25440 approving the submission of a ballot question to the electorate, asking whether the
a City-owned vacant park/waterfront lot at 2620 Biarritz Drive shall be sold and the
proceeds applied to the renovation of the Normandy Shores Golf Course. The issue had
been previously discussed at the November 20, 2003, Finance and City Wide Projects
Committee with a positive recommendation forwarded to the Mayor and City Commission.
On the March 9, 2004, Miami-Dade County's Presidential Preference Primary
Election ballotJhe voters of the City of Miami Beach were presented with seven City ballot
questions, including Ballot Question NO.7 entitled, "Sale of 2620 Biarritz Drive", which
read:
"Shall the City of Miami Beach sell waterfront property located at 2620 Biarritz Drive in
Miami Beach, Florida (survey and legal description of property on file in City's Public
Works Department), with the sale proceeds to be utilized for the City's renovation of
the Normandy Shores Golf Course?"
and the matter was approved by a majority of the voters at that time.
On February 18, 2005, the Property was offered for sale, at auction, to the highest
qualified bidder, which executed a Primary Real Estate Sales Contract. On that same day
the second highest bidder also executed a "Back-Up" Real Estate Sales Contract. On
February 23, 2005, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2005-25829,
approving and authorizing execution of the Primary Contract, as well as the Back-Up
Contract (in the event the Primary Contract does not close).
The Property is currently located in an area that has a GU (Government Use) zoning
district classification, and due to the pending conveyance of the Property to a private party
would require a change in zoning district classification. Pursuant to Section 142-425, of
the Miami Beach City Code:
"Upon the sale of GU property, the zoning district classification shall be determined,
after public hearing with notice pursuant to Florida Statutes, by the City Commission in
a manner consistent with the comprehensive plan."
The Property is currently located adjacent to a single-family residential district with a
zoning district classification of RS-3 (Single Family Residential District). Due to the
foregoing, the City Administration deems that an RS3 designation would be the most
appropriate for the Property once in private ownership.
As such, and pursuant to Section 142-425 of the Miami Beach City Code, the
Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission set the required Public
Hearing for April 20, 2005, to consider an amendment to the zoning map by changing the
zoning district classification of the property located at 2620 Biarritz Drive, Miami Beach,
Florida, from GU (Government Use) to RS-3 (Single Family Residential), following the
Property's conveyance by the City to a private party, pursuant to City Commission
Resolution No. 2005-25829, and in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and
Land Development Regulations.
