Commission Meeting Date: 11/17/2022 Sponsored By:
Type: Ordinance District Impacted: All
Subject: Amend Code - Chapter 62 -
Planning and Zoning Fees
PURPOSE OF ITEM:
This City Administration respectfully requests approval to amend Chapter 62 of the
Code if the City of Miami, Florida, as amended, titled "Planning and Zoning", particularly
by amending Article VI, Section 62-22, titled "Zoning and Planning Fees/Schedule of
Fees"; Section 62-23 of the City Code, titled "Zoning and Planning fees/Request for
Review and Appeal"; Section 62-25 of the City Code, titled "Zoning and Planning
Fees/Waiver and Refund of Fees"; and Article VI I, Section 62-32 of the City Code, titled
"Historic and Environmental Preservation Board/Schedule of Fees," to provide the
yearly review of fees and associated language within so adjustments, if necessary, are
made as part of sound fiscal and process maintenance; containing a severability clause
and providing for an effective date.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Chapter 62 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("City Code"),
provides the fee schedule for planning and zoning matters, including the processing of
administrative entitlements, covenants, public hearing applications, and construction
plan reviews by the Planning Department and Office of Zoning. For the first time in over
12 years, in 2021, the City conducted a comprehensive review and replacement of all
fees in Chapter 62. The City wishes to update fees to have expenses incurred by
specialized planning and zoning permit applications to be covered by fees paid by
applicants rather than being subsidized by the City's general fund. The updated fees
and language ensure that City costs do not exceed the fees charged to applicants for
services but are calibrated to more closely recover actual costs. It is necessary to make
all fees within Chapter 62 of the City Code comprehensive so there are no conflicts with
any other portions of the City Code and the Miami 21 Code. The City wishes to ensure
that it provides a path through which waivers for economic hardship can be provided to
eligible applicants.
