CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
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:May 3, 2022
SUBJECT:
An ordinance amending the City of South Miami Land Development Code Sections 2.3, 20-
3.3(D), and 20-3.6 to include and regulate home-based businesses and to amend definitions.
REQUEST:
To update the Land Development Code provisions for home-based businesses and bring them
into compliance with State law.
BACKGROUND:
The Land Development Code (LDC) includes provisions related to home-occupations, which are
allowed subject to certain conditions. In 2021, the State of Florida adopted Sec. 559.955, F.S.
whichrestricts how local governments can regulate these uses. The proposed ordinance has been
drafted to bring the South Miami Land Development Code (LDC) into compliance with this new
State law.
ANALYSIS:
The ordinance makes the following changes to the LDC:
* Adds a definition of Home-based business as the use is not currently defined.
* Amends Sec. 20-3.3(D) Permitted use schedule to reflect the name change consistent with
the state’s terminology and to indicate that the business shall provide parking based on
the standard required for the particular use.
* The ordinance also incorporates, essentially verbatim, the provisions of the new law. The
table below provides a comparison of the new provisions with the existing provisions.
New Provision Existing Provision to be Deleted
Two employees or independent contractors
who do not reside at the dwelling may be
employed by the business.
All employees must reside and occupy the
dwelling as their primary residence.
Retail transactions may not occur at a
structure other than the residential dwelling
No goods for resale or services shall be
dispensed directly on the site.
As viewed from the street, the use of the
residential property must be consistent with
No change in the outside residential character
of the building or premises.

the uses of the residential areas that surround
the property. External changes to the dwelling
must conform to the residential character and
architectural aesthetics of the neighborhood
Several provisions regarding traffic and
parking are added:
* parking for the business must comply with
the LDC and the need for parking generated
by the business can’t be greater in volume
than would normally be expected in a
residence with no business activity
* Vehicles and trailers used by the business
must be parked in legal parking spaces that
aren’t over the right-of-way or sidewalk or on
an unimproved surface
* No heavy equipment shall be parked or
stored which is visible from the street or a
neighboring property
A statement that there shall be no increase in
traffic at the site as a result of the occupation
is being deleted.
The business activities shall comply with code
requirements with respect to equipment or
processes that create noise, vibration, heat,
smoke, dust, glare, fumes, or noxious odors.
No comparable provision exists.
REMOVED: requirement that the activity not
increase demand for city services at the site.
Adoption of the ordinance will ensure that the City’s regulation of home-based businesses
conforms with the new state law.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
After a public hearing on April 12, 2022, the Planning Board voted unanimously in favor of the
proposed ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance.

Applicant: The City of South Miami
An ordinance amending the City of South Miami Land Development Code Sections 20 -2.3, 20-
3.3(D), and 20-3.6 to include and regulate home-based businesses and to amend definitions.
Applicant: The City of South Miami, represented by represented by Ms. Jane Tompkins, AICP
(Planning Director)
Ms. Bonich read PB‐22-009 into the record.
Ms. Tompkins presented the item to the Board.
Mr. Miller asked if the new language would apply to the business district or the residential district.
Ms. Tompkins stated that the new language would apply to the residential district. Mr. Miller then
asked what code section it would apply to. Ms. Tompkins responded that there are provisions in
the Land Development Code (LDC) that applies to both commercial and residential properties. Mr.
Miller then asked if the proposed language wouldn’t give people the ability to use their properties
for noisier uses than before, to which Ms. Tompkins responded yes.
Mr. Miller asked if the language would require that the captain of a boat push it further into their
property, to which Ms. Tompkins stated that the language would apply to a boat that is being
used by a business. That boat would have to be parked in a legal parking space and it couldn’t
project into the right-of-way. Mr. Miller then stated that someone renting a house to college
students would be considered a business. He then asked what that use would be interpreted as.
Ms. Tompkins responded that it would not be treated as a business. Mr. Pepe responded that the
business cannot be outside, it must be inside a building. Mr. Pepe then stated that if someone
using a boat as part of their business, the storage of it would need to follow the City’s regulations
on boat storage. Going back to the question regarding the renting of a house, Mr. Pepe stated
that the rental of the property makes it a business, but at the same time, they would still be
required to comply with all the other requirements.
Mr. Borges asked if the City made a change so that people needed to be related to live in the
house to avoid frat houses. Mr. Pepe responded that the definition of Family was changed, and it
stated that they all did not need to be related. Mr. Pepe then provided the Board with the
definition.
Mr. Miller stated that he wanted to make sure that the City isn’t making it easier for commercial
uses to enter the residential districts. Mr. Pepe responded that the City isn’t making it easier, but
they are complying with State Statutes which is making it easier.
Mr. Miller asked if signage was permitted, to which Mr. Basu responded that it is typically not
permitted. Mr. Basu then asked if the City has regulations regarding the parking of commercial
vehicles in residential districts. Ms. Tompkins responded that she wasn’t aware of any restrictions
on that type of parking. Mr. Pepe stated that there are regulations in the LDC about advertising
on a moving vehicle.

Mr. Basu asked if it would be a problem if someone uses an accessory structure as a workspace.

The hits just keep com
ing for Venice.
Two days after a viral
alligator sighting on East
er, residents of the scenic
Gulf Coast city got anoth
er scare.
“WALKERS BE
WARE!” reads a warning
on Facebook video post
ed by the Venice Police
Department of a “mas
sive alligator” crossing
the road Tuesday eve
ning.
In the clip, you see a
patrol car in front of an
alligator taking its time
crossing a road while
passersby look on — from
a safe distance.
A different picture on
the FB post shows the
reptile chilling in a drain
age ditch.
Venice Police Public
Information Officer Lor
raine Anderson told the
Miami Herald that Tues
day’s gator is probably
different than the one
seen strolling around on
April 17 — it was spotted
in a different section of
town, about nine miles
away.
“It’s mating season, so
they’re everywhere,” she
said, adding that trappers
were not called because
the animal would have
likely been destroyed.
“We like to keep them in
their habitat.”
According to the Flor
ida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commis
sion, an alligator is
considered a nuisance if
it’s at least 4 feet long
and “believed to pose a
threat to people, pets or
property.”
Anderson wants resi
dents to be vigilant in the
scenic Sarasota County
town that carries the
same name as the famed
Italian floating city.
“You have to be care
ful out there because
they’re on the move,”
she said. “This is a ped
estrian friendly commu
nity and we have an
older populace out at all
times of the day. You
don’t want to get near a
gator at all.”
