 Item 13.
COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM

TO: Land Use and Sustainability Committee

FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager

DATE: February 18, 2020
TITLE:MIAMI-DADE COUNTY RESOLUTION URGING MUNICIPALITIES TO ADOPT POST-DISASTER TEMPORARY ZONING RELIEF

ACTION REQUESTED:

Discuss the item and continue to the May 6, 2020 LUSC meeting.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Continue the item to the May 6, 2020 LUSC Meeting with direction to prepare a draft ordinance.

HISTORY:

On December 11, 2019, at the request of Commissioner Mark Samuelian, the City Commission referred the item to the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee (Item C4C). The item was placed on the January 21, 2020 agenda of the newly created Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC). The item was deferred to the February 18, 2020 LUSC meeting.

ANALYSIS:

The Miami-Dade County Resolution pertains to the use of home improvement stores and RV’s subsequent to catastrophic weather events. A similar ordinance for Miami Beach could be beneficial, as our LDR’s require all business and commerce transactions to be conducted within an enclosed structure. Additionally, the Miami Beach Code does not have temporary provisions for the use of RV’s.
