The Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce is constructing a new facility including a Visitor

entertainment industries and cultural offerings. The Visitor Information Center will provide a variety
of products and services including a travel bureau, central hotel reservation system, a concierge and
information service and promotional merchandise.
On December 15, 1999, the City Commission passed Resolution No. 99-23418 agreeing to covenant
to budget and appropriate $30,000 annually for up to seven years from the Resort Tax or from any
legally available non-ad valorem funds in exchange for a commitment from the Chamber to provide
space for the Miami Beach Visitor Information Center.
The Chamber has proceeded to obtain appropriate City approvals in order to construct the new
facility. The Chamber however, is also requesting to delay payment from time of building permit
for the required parking impact fees and concurrency mitigation fees to payment prior to the issuance
of a temporary Certificate of Occupancy. The fees are estimated to be at approximately $105,000-
$120,000 for parking impact fees and approximately $12,000 in concurrency mitigation fees.
