35 Development Codeo, whichever occurs first.
36
37 Section 2. Determination of Vested Rights or Denial of All Economic Use.
38
39 (A) Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed or applied to abrogate the
40 vested right of a property owner to complete subdivision of a parcel where the property
41 owner can demonstrate by substantial competent evidence each of the following:
42
43 1. A goverrunental action occurred prior to the effective date of this
44 Resolution upon which the property owner has detrimentally relied, in good faith,
45 by making substantial expenditures; and

47 complete the subdivision of the owner's land.
48

50 Resolution must file an application with the City Commission for a determination within

shall be jurisdictional. The application shall contain a sworn statement as to the basis
upon which the vested rights or denial of all use are asserted, together with
documentation required by the City and any other documentary desires to support the
claim. Each document submitted shall have, attached to it or be accompanied by, a sworn
statement attesting, under penalty of perjury, to the truth of the facts contained in the
document and attesting that the document, if a copy, is a true and accurate duplicate of
the original. The City Commission shall hold a public hearing on the application and,
based upon the competent substantial evidence presented at the hearing, shall make a
determination as to whether the property owner has established a vested right.
Section 3. Judicial Review. Judicial review of final decisions by the City Commission
under Section I above shall be by filing an action in Circuit Court and under Section 2 of this
Ordinance shall be by the filing of a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the Circuit Court of the
Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County in accordance with the Florida Rules of
Appellate Procedure for the review of the quasi-judicial decisions of municipalities.
Section 4. Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies. No property owner claiming that
this Ordinance, as applied, constitutes or would constitute a temporary or permanent taking of
private property or an abrogation of vested rights may pursue such claim in court, unless he or she
has first exhausted the applicable administrative remedies provided in Sections 2 of this
Ordinance.
Section 5. Severability. If any section clause, sentence, or phrase of this ordinance is for
any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, the holding shall
not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.
Section 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be effective immediately upon adoption.
