Comprehensive Plan. Pursuant hereto. all City actions, including, but not limited to,
those for capital improvements, transportation, housing, health, parks, recreation,

recognition that developmental actions and orders have been and will continue to

henceforth required that applications for developmental actions or orders must
further the attainment of the intent of the Comprehensive Plan (Plan), which
embodies the essence of the community's development policy. It is the
responsibility of the Department of Planning and Zoning to formulate
recommendations for the resolution of any conflicts in the inter retation or
application of the Comprehensive Plan in a manner that will best serve the spirit
and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and it must include specific findings
supporting the recommendation. Any decision of the City Commission relating to
such conflict must contain specific findings in support of its decision.

Ord. No. 05-21-2395
(3) Legislative intent.
(a) No implication of a Taking or Abrogation. Nothing in the Comprehensive
Plan or Land Development Code may be construed or applied to constitute a
Taking or Abrogation.
(b) Finality of a Taking or Abrogation. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions
that may be found in the City's Land Development Code (LDC), no Taking or
Abrogation by legislative means, such as the enactment of or amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Code, or other City regulation, or by anx
act or omission of the City's administration, such as the granting or den)fing of an
application, is final until the following conditions have been met
(i) The person alleging a Taking or Abrogation has delivered competent
substantial evidence to the Director of Planning and Zoning Department
(Director) that affirmatively demonstrates the existence of the legal
requisites of the Taking o�gation claim, and.
(iil_ The person has first exhausted the administrative remedies provided
in Section 20-5.24.1.
(c) The Comprehensive Plan is intended to set general and principles
concerning its purposes and contents. The Comprehensive Plan is not a substitute
for land development regulations.
(d) The Comprehensive Plan, as adopted by the City, is controlling and will
prevail over any error contained in a reprinting of the Comprehensive Plan or any
of its parts, provided, however, this does not preclude correction of scrivener's
errors contained in the original documents.
(e) The City recognizes that a particular application may bring into conflict, and
necessitate a choice between, different goals, priorities, objectives, and provisions
of the Comprehensive Plan. While it is the intent of the City that the land use
element be afforded a high priority, other elements must be taken into
consideration considering t,,, he City's responsibility to provide for the multitude of
needs of a diverse community. This is especially true regarding the siting of public
facilities.
(f) The Comprehensive Plan is not intended to preempt the processes whereby
applications may be filed for relief from land development regulations. To the
contrary, it is the intent of the City that such applications be filed, considered. -and
finally determined by the City Commission as the legislative body of the Cites
make changes to the Comprehensive Plan, where a strict application of the
Comprehensive Plan would contravene the legislative intent

Page 3 of 9
Ord. No. 05-21-2395

Taking or Abrogation as defined in Sec. 20-5.24 and any person or entity claiming aiming a
potential Taking or Abrogation under this Code must affirmatively demonstrate the
legal requisites of the claim by exhausting the administrative remedy provided in
this Section.
(b) Claims of a Taking or Abrogation are limited solely to extreme
circumstances rising to the level of a potential denial of rights under the
Constitutions of the United States and the State of Florida or state statutes. The
procedures provided herein for demonstrating such a Taking or Abrogation are not
intended to be utilized routinely or frivolously, but only in the extreme
circumstances described above. The claimant or the attorney for the claimant must
exercise due diligence in the filing of any Sworn Statement and notice to invoke an
administrative remedy or other claim for a Taking or Abrogation. The signature of
the claimant or the attorney for the claimant upon any document in connection
with a claim of a Taking or Abrogation will constitute a certification under penalties
of perjury that the person signing has read the document and that to the best of the
signatory's knowledge it is supported by good and sufficient grounds and that it has
not been presented frivolously or for the purpose of delay. The claimant and the
attorney for the claimant have a continuing obligation throughout the proceedings
to correct any statement or representation found to have been incorrect when
made or which becomes incorrect by virtue of changed circumstances. If a claim of
Taking or Abrogation is: (1) based upon facts that the claimant or the attorney for
the claimant knew or should have known were not true: or (2) frivolous or filed for
the purposes of delay�ped I Master or Magistrate, or at the City's option, the

any Development Permit denied on the grounds of inconsistency with the

the Act. The applicant must file a complete Sworn Statement within ninety _(90)

Taking or Abrogation must file a complete Sworn Statement with the Director not

has occurred. No oral testimony or written reports or documents in support of
any argument that the denial of the Developmental Order would constitute a
Taking or Abrogation will be considered as evidence at the public hearing unless
the complete Sworn Statement has been timely filed pursuant to this paragraph:
provided, however, that where an applicant has failed to timely file a Sworn
Statement pursuant to this paragraph, the City Commission, ERPB, HPB, or anX
other board taking action on a Development Permit may defer the hearing on an

provide adequate time for review of the Sworn Statement by the City Attorney

requesting the Development Permit, to provide adequate time for the prop
owner to invoke the administrative remedy and to adhere to the time schedules
provided herein.

may reverse or modify said denial with the consent of the City Commission.

the City Commission of the decision of the City Manager must be filed within 14

appropriate City board regarding Sworn Statements filed in connection with an
Application for a Developmental Resolution. The City Commission has exclusive
jurisdiction to consider and act upon all Applications for Developmental
Resolutions for which the applicant has invoked the administrative remedy set forth
in this Section unless the decisions are directly reviewable by an appellate court
(e) The appropriate City board may elect to first consider the primary
Application rather than concurrently conduct a hearing upon a claim of Taking or
Abrogation. If the Board's determination is that the primary Application should be
denied in whole or in part such determination is not a final decision and will be
subject to a further determination of a claim of Taking or Abrogation. The Board
may either directly hear the claim of Taking or Abrogation, may defer consideration
Of the claim to a subsequent hearing,,,, or may refer the same to the City Manager
and City Attorney for further review and recommendation prior to adopting a

apTpriate relief which would avoid such result. The City Manager and City

not affect a Taking or Abrogation, the RreliminaQt determination to deny will
become appealable to the City Commission.

From: Thomas F. Pepe, City Attorney
Date: March, 2021 ITEM No. 1246

An Ordinance amending the City of South Miami Land Development Code,

gum mAlu►n-was]I1:7XiIil���iii
United States Constitutional Fifth Amendment claims, Equitable Estoppel claims,
and Bert Harris claims against a governmental body can be and usually are very
costly and a governmental body should take precautions against them. The proposed
amendment was initiated to provide a level of protection against such liability for
the City of South Miami. This proposed ordinance is modeled after Miami -Dade
County's ordinances that attempt to provide the County with that protection. The
County's ordinance was enacted to protect the County against the cost of taking
claims when the County first adopted the County Comprehensive Plan. The
County's ordinances have evolved over time. In any event, it was a seminar topic
by Joni Armstrong Coffey dealing with the Knick case that brought this matter to my
attention. An example of how these claims can arise from an ordinance that may
appear to be enacted with good intentions is the Knick case which took a local
government all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
The case of Knick v. Township of Scott, 139 S.Ct. 2162 (2019) held that a United
States 5t' Amendment (to the US Constitution) taking claim could be filed as soon
