THE CITY OF PLEASANT LIVING INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
VIA: Shari Kamali, City Manager
FROM: Jane K. Tompkins, AICP, Planning Director
DATE: September 21, 2021
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance related to the fee schedule; amending Ordinance No.15-21-2405 to establish
fees for Boardinghouses and Hotel/Motel.
BACKGROUND:
Boardinghouses and Hotel/Motel are permitted to operate within the City of South Miami.
Currently, though, the City's Schedule of Fees does not include these uses in the list of Local
Business Tax fees. Staff could not find records of any licensed boardinghouses to determine how
much they might have been charged previously. Further, the only hotel operating in South Miami
has historically been charged as a Residential Use.
ANALYSIS:
During the first reading of an ordinance amending the Land Development Code to allow
boardinghouses in the Hometown District Overlay, the Commission discussed the need to
establish a fee for such use. Upon discussion on first reading of the proposed ordinance amending
the fee schedule, the Mayor and Commission voted in favor of a fee of $250 per unit for a
boardinghouse and staff recommends $2,500 flat fee for a hotel/motel.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance.
