The South Miami City Commission at its June 1, 2004 approved on first reading a' proposed
amendment to the Land Development Code that would permit adult entertainment
establishments as a permitted use in the City's industrial zoning district. The ordinance also
provided for distance requirements between adult establishments and churches, schools, parks,
playgrounds and residential uses, and between individual adult establishments.
During discussion it was felt that before final adoption of the Adult Entertainment ordinance it
would be appropriate for the City to review a survey as to the number and location of adult
establishments in surrounding jurisdictions (up to five miles from the City's boundary lines).
The City Commission felt that information from the survey would help determine the number of
establishments (if any) which could or should be accommodated in the City.
Staff was requested to estimate the cost of doing this type of study including an estimate of the
distance from the City which should be included in the survey. Staff advised that a limited
portion of the survey and data collection could be carried out by in house staff, however, the
bulk of the research including field studies would require an outside consultant to assist. It was
estimated that the additional cost would be $5250 (70hrs x $75) to be funded from the
Contingency Account. The City Commission at its June 8, 2004 meeting approved the
expenditure.
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL ISSUED
In mid June an RFP was sent out to a number of South Florida planning consulting firms
(attached). The local firm of Corradino Group, Inc. submitted a complete response to the RFP
and estimated that the work could be completed in 30 days and would cost $8580 (see attached
letter).
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Director has advised that staff has collected considerable data from abutting
municipalities which will be helpful to any consultant hired, and which may allow for the

negotiation of the remaining work to be done within the approved budget. Staff is requesting
direction from the City Commission as to attempting to negotiate with the consultants
It is important to note that at the time the ordinance was being considered, the City's attorney
advised that this type of survey may be informative, however, recent Court decisions mandate
that each municipality must still provide potential locations for adult establishments.
