ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA RELATING TO THE PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE;
AMENDING ORDINANCE 14 -90 -1454 AS AMENDED BY ORDINANCES 6 -92 -1501, 17-
92-1512A, 10 -95 -1583, 18 -99 -1692, 28 -00 -1730, 32 -01 -1763, 14 -02 -1782 AND 21 -03 -1805 IN
ORDER TO ADJUST LAND USE APPLICATION FEES, PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND
The City's Permit Fee Schedule is part of independent ordinance which is usually updated every
two or three years. The last overall updating of this schedule was done in November, 2001.
There will be occasional fee changes done apart from the overall updating in order to respond to
special circumstances. In 2002 and 2003 the fee schedule was changed in order to correct and
adjust the fee charged for restaurant outdoor seating.
During the past several months the City Clerk and the Finance Director both noticed a significant
drop in funds in the advertising account which is used to pay for public newspaper ads required
for public hearings by the Planning Board and City Commission. This reduction is mainly the
result of the current fee for amending the text of the Land Development Code or to rezone a
property, which is set at $1750. However, Florida State Statutes require that an ordinance which
rezones property or changes the list of uses in the Permitted Use Schedule must have the public
notice published in a general newspaper (Herald) and must be 10 inches long, 18 pt. type, etc.
These ads alone have been costing the City $2700 each, resulting in a deficiency in the public
notice account. For this reason an increase in the fee charged for these types of amendments is
proposed.
The City Administration took this amendment opportunity to update other land use application
fees which are included on the attached Schedule H. The revised fees are based on increases in
advertising costs , mail costs and staff time involved. Copies of the land use / zoning application
fees in other municipalities are attached.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the attached ordinance changing the City's Permit Fee Schedule (H) be
approved on first reading. The revised fees would be effective on October 1, 2004.
