RE: Agenda Item #
Waiver of Permit Fees /CRA
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO PERMIT FEES;
ESTABLISHING POLICY WAIVING BUILDING PERMIT FEES AND OTHER
CITY FEES FOR PROJECTS IN THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ( SMCRA) AREA; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The attached Resolution, sponsored by Commissioner Palmer establishes a Policy
waiving building permit fees and other City fees by the City of South Miami for projects
actually funded and/or operated by the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency
( SMCRA).
Our own SMCRA will be able to go farther with their limited budget if the City waives
building permit fees and other City fees. It is totally inconsistent to the goals of South
Miami to seek to provide affordable housing or other projects for the CRA area, while at
the same time unduly burdening our own SMCRA with the costs and expenses of
building permit fees and other fees.
Moreover, the Resolution urged by Commissioner Palmer does not at all depart from
existing City Policy. As early as August 15, 2000, then Vice Mayor Feliu sponsored a
similar Resolution, #160 -00 -11053 establishing a policy waiving Code Enforcement
Waiver of Permit Fees /CRA
Page 2
Liens in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00 for those properties identified suitable for the
CRA Infill Housing Program.
Thus, the suggested Resolution follows the previous established City policy, giving the
CRA all possible help to provide affordable housing or other worthwhile SMCRA
projects.

The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency was created to redevelop and
revitalize a certain portion of the City of South Miami. The City Commission recognizes
the importance of providing affordable housing for the residents in the CRA Area. One
of the key elements identified to accomplish this, in the CRA Plan, is the Infill Housing
program. The adoption of this resolution would allow those entities interested in
providing affordable housing for the CRA area residents to accomplish this goal in a
