The Planning, Building and Zoning Department had prepared the attached

December 8, 1991. The language in the original draft included the possibility
of enabling the Commission to revoke ordinances related to proffered covenants
if it was determined that conditions of such covenants were not complied with;
the Law Department has since found that this proposed action was overly -broad
in application and the has recommended that such language be deleted.

RECOMMENDATION Approval.
BACKGROUND AND At the City Commission meeting of December 8, 1991, Commissioner J. L.
ANALYSIS Plummer had requested the Administration and Law Department to report back to
the Commission as to the type of action the City could take against
violations of conditions contained in variances or special exceptions
granted by the City or in voluntarily proffered covenants accepted by the
City. A legal opinion was rendered (see attached). The legal opinion rendered
by the Law Department makes -several points regarding failure to comply with
conditions or covenants and offers the following remedies: a) judicial

ENCLOSURES
Request fot Legal Opinion
Enforcement of Conditions
You have requested a legal opinion on substantially the
following questions:
I.
WHETHER THE APPROVAL, WITH CONDITIONS
(REQUIRED OR PROFFERED), OF SPECIAL PERMITS,
VARIANCES, SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS OR REZONINGS IS
ACTIONABLE, SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF A
BUILDING PERMIT OR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY
PREDICATED UPON SUCH APPROVAL, WHERE THE
GRANTEE OR SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST FAIL TO
COMPLY WITH SAID CONDITIONS.
II.
IF THE ANSWER TO QUESTION I IS IN THE
AFFIRMATIVE, WHETHER THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO
MEET THE ESTABLISHED CONDITIONS SHOULD BE
CHALLENGED THROUGH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT
PROCESS OR TREATED AS A NON -CONFORMING USE OR
STRUCTURE DUE TO ISSUANCE OF THE BUILDING
PERMIT AND THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ESTOPPEL
ISSUE.
The answer to question I is in the affirmative. The
conditional grantinq of special permits, variances, or special
exceptions requires compliance with all conditions attached
thereto. Such a special permit or variance or special exception
does not actually become effective until the conditions are
fulfilled, and it may be revoked if the applicant fails to comply
with the conditions, or ceases compliance at a point in time
subsequent to the completion of construction, subject to
compliance with due process requirements. Anderson, American Law
of Zoning, 3d, Sec. 20.66.
v
11057
Cesar H. Odic, City Manager
August 4, 1992
Page 2
Failure to meet any of the conditions, irrespective of
whether building permits have been issued, causes the approval to
lapse. Furthermore, violation of such conditions and safeguards,
when made a part of the terms under which the special permit,
special exception or variance is granted, shall be deemed a
violation of the zoning ordinance. Fla Jur 2d Building, Zoning &
Land Controls, Sec. 145. where a violation occurs of a
voluntarily proffered covenant accepted by the City in
conjunction with a change of zoning, the covenant will be
enforced by courts of equity as long as the requirement which the
City is seeking to enforce is not against public policy or
express law and is reasonable. Fla Jur 2d; Building, Zoning
Land Controls, Sec. 34.
In answer to the second question, if the events set forth in
the first question should occur, the property is in violation.
The City has several remedies available to it: judicial action
for enforcement and/or damages; the code enforcement process;
revocation. However, a revocation of the special permit would
require an amendment to the City Code. An additional query was
raised as to revocation of the certificate of occupancy and
certificate of use. The suggested amendment, as discussed on
page 7 of this opinion, includes this remedy. Please be advised
that the property is not entitled to protection as a legal non-
conforming use or structure merely because it is constructed
pursuant to a building permit and has failed to meet specific
conditions attached to the grant of zoning relief. Furthermore,
the more issuance of the building permit does not automatically
give rise to an estoppel situation.
DIscussiOM
In granting a special permit, a special exception or a
variance, the approving board or official may attach to such
grant appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity with
the enabling ordinance and any ordinance enacted under its
authority. The type and quality of the use or structure may be
conditioned in ways related to the legitimate objectives of
zoning. Smalleyloyics Corporation v. Dade County, 176 So.2d 574
(Fla 3d DCA 1965). In that case, a variance was issued to a
private airport subject to certain conditions, one of which
prohibited night flying. The Third District Court of Appeal held
that the violation of that condition justified cancellation of
the permit authorizing airport use. Further, at least one court
has described the failure to comply with a condition attached to
a variance as somewhat analogous to a breach of a contract
between the municipality and a private person. State v. Larson
Transfer Storage, Inc., 310 Minn 295, 246 NW 2d 176 (1976).
11057
Cesar H. Odio, City Manager
August 4, 1992
Page 3
The City is required to provide for the enforcement of a
zoning ordinance. This may be done administ=atively, through
the City's code enforcement process, and also by judicial action.
Available judicial actions include an action bytthe City for
injunctive relief to prevent unlawful erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration, maintenance or use, or to restrain,
correct, or abate such violation. You should be aware that
mandamus, in the appropriate situation, may be invoked to compel
proper enforcement by municipal officials of a zoning regulation.
This was the case in Miami Beach v. Sunset Islands 3 6 4 Property
Owners Association, Inc., 216 So.2d 509 (Fla. 3d DCA 1968) where
the court held that mandamus was appropriate to require the City
building inspector to enforce a zoning change by requiring boat
builders to cease storage of boats. Damages also may be
obtainable in some cases, as in the case of McDonough v.
Department of Natural Resources, 414 So.2d 583 (Fla. 1st DCA
1982), where the court held that a civil penalty of $5,000
assessed against a builder pursuant to Florida Statutes Section
161.05.4(1) was appropriate were a builder had failed to comply
with conditions attached to permits.
Your query suggests that failure to comply with a condition
attached to a special permit, special exception or variance, or
contained in a covenant, subsequent to the issuance of building
permits or even subsequent to the construction of the
improvements, may endow the use or structure with the protection
of a ,non -conforming use". The definition of a legal non-
conforming use is a lawful use of the premises existing on the
effective date of the zoning regulations and continued thereafter
which does not conform to such regulations. 7 Fla Jur 2d
Buildinc, Zoning i Land Controls, Sec. 131. In other words, a
non -conforming use is a use which lawfully existed prior to the
enactment of the zoning ordinance (or of an amendment to a
theretofore existing zoning ordinance) and which therefore may be
maintained after the effective date of the ordinance or
amendment, although it does not comply with zoning restrictions
applicable to the area. Thus, a use c`_ land, or the existence of
a structure, in violation of an ordinance through circumstances
other than the enactment of a zoning restriction (such as, by
violation of a condition) will not be considered to be within the
class of legal non -conforming uses or structures.
Your query also suggests- that the violation of a zoning
ordinance subsequent to the issuance of a building permit might
automatically give rise to an estoppel argument against the City. N,�
Such is not the case. The majority of courts throughout the
United States concur that no estoppel against the enforcement of
11057
Cesar H. Odio, City Manage. -
August 4, 1992
Page 4
an ordinance can be invoked against a municipality when a claim
is based on a municipal officer's ultra wires act (that is, a
building permit issued in violation of law or under a mistake of
fact confers no right, and may be revoked at any time). However,
the failure to find estoppel against the City does not i so facto
relieve the City from being liable for reimbursement of monies
expended in justifiable reliance upon the invalid act. Such a
possibility cannot be determined in advance but should be
considered in the appropriate legal analysis of each unique set
of facts.
Another consideration is public policy and whether the
public interest in the enforcement of the zoning ordinance
transcends the harm to the individual land owner. An important
reason for not permitting estoppel against the issuing authority
in such cases is that the issuance of a permit contrary to the
provisions of an ordinance may be the result of fraud on the part
of an applicant, with concurring negligence or ignorance on the
part of City official, or as a result of a corrupt bargain.
Corona Properties of Florida, Inc., v. Monroe County, 485 So.7d
1314 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986).
As discussed in previous meetings on this issue, the case
law in Florida supports the position that the City has a duty to
enforce its zoning ordinances and regulations and that zoning
officials acting outside their authority or in error cannot serve
to exempt a•particular project from compliance with the zoning
ordinance. The case of Corona Properties of Florida v. Monroe
County, 485 So.2d 1314 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986), supports this
principal, relying on an earlier Third District Court of Appeal
case, Dade County v. Gayer, 388 So.2d 1292 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980).
In the Corona case, the property owner appealed a final
judgment in which the circuit court judge found a building permit
issued to the property owner by Monroe County to be void. That
case concerned a parcel of property in Key Largo, which prior to
1979 was zoned in a category which permitted the development of
58 dwelling units on the property. In 1974, the County issued a
building permit for a 58 unit building to be constructed thereon.
The then -owner had pilings driven :but the project- was
subsequently abandoned prior to any further improvements, being
made. Five years later, the zoning ordinance was amended to
reduce the number of dwelling units permitted on the property to
approximately 24.
11057
Cesar H. Odio, City Manager
August 4, 1992
Page 5
In 1981, the then -owner received a determination from the
Monroe County Zoning Official assuring him that the owner had
"vested rights in and to said project" to construct a 58 unit
building on the site. The then -owner received a building permit
in September of 1981 to construct a 40 unit building on the
property, issued solely on the basis of the vested rights letter.
This project was also abandoned without significant construction
and the permit expired.
The Plaintiff (Corona Properties) purchased the property in
1982 and in 1983 applied for a permit to construct the same 40
units. Again, Monroe County issued a building permit in 1983 on
the basis of the vested rights letter, and received a permit fee
from Corona Properties of approximately $45,000. In 1984 the
then -Monroe County Zoning Official and the Monroe County
Administrator advised the owner in writing that it was their
intention to cancel the Corona Properties permit and return the
permit fee, as the prior Zoning Official had been in error when
he had issued the vested rights letter. In June of 1984, the
Monroe' County Commission voted to cancel the building permit and
refund the permit fee. At the time of the permit's revocation,
Corona Properties had spent approximately $82,000 on the project.
However, the only physical work done on site was a minimal
restructuring of frames for footers.
Corona filed suit and the trial court found that the permit
was void ab initio. On review the appellate court considered the
following issues:
1. Whether the Zoning Official had the authority to issue
a vested rights letter.
2. Whether the County may be equitably estopped from
revoking the building permit.
The court, after reviewing relevant provisions of the County
Zoning Ordinance, determined that the Zoning Official does not
have the authority to make a vested rights determination and
thus, the vested rights letter and the 1983 permit issued
pursuant to the letter are ultra wires and void ab initio..
As to the issue of equitable estoppel, the Third District
Court of Appeal recited the general rule that a governmental
entity may not be estopped from,the enforcement of its ordinances
by an illegally issued permit. In doing so, it referred to its
earlier opinion in Dade County v. Gayer, infra, where it had
ruled that estoppel may not be asserted against a county for a
permit issued in error and recited the policy consideration that
although "the application of the rule may be harsh it would be
11057
Cesar H. Odio, City Manager
August 4, 1992
Page 6
inconceivable that public officials could issue a permit, either
inadvertently, through error, or intentionally, by design, which
would sanction a violation of an ordinance adopted by the
legislative branch of government." Thus, in'. the Corona
Properties case, the Third District Court of Appeal held that the
vested rights letter and the building permit having been
illegally issued, estoppel may not be asserted against the county
for the revocation of the building permit.
However, it should be noted that in Alderman v. Stevens, 189
So.2d 168 (Fla. 2d DCA 1966), the Second District Court of Appeal
found differently. In that case, the circuit court of Pinellas
County determined that the City was estopped to question the
validity of the building permit and the Second District affirmed,
after reviewing the record where there was testimony from the
building inspector for the City attesting to the fact that he had
been the building inspector for several years, had always
construed that particular section of the building code to allow a
fifteen foot set -back (instead of a 25-foot set back), and had
issued at least four permits.similar to the one here in question.
Furthermore, the court pointed out that the record showed the
City had led the property owner to believe that the City would
take no enforcement action on the matter, and that based on this
consideration, and after obtaining the permit for the fifteen
foot set -back from the building inspector, the property owners
proceeded to expend in excess of $1,000 before the issuance of a
stop work order. The court pointed out that it could not find
any basis to support the City's argument that the action of the
building inspector in issuing the permit was an invalid act which
would have rendered the doctrine of equitable estoppel
inapplicable, and therefore the court concluded that the action
of the building inspector in issuing the permit was a valid act
and t-he appellees had a right to rely, and did rely to their
detriment, on the act. The court thus concluded that the trial
court was correct in determining that estoppel existed in this
case.
CONCLUSION
It is suggested the City consider amending its Code to
provide for a process by which the Zoning Board could, subsequent
to a hearing and in accordance with the precepts of due process,
revoke a special permit where it is established that a condition
attached thereto has been violated. This would obviously result
in the simultaneous revocation of the certificate of occupancy
11057
Cesar H. Odio, City Manager
August 4, 1992
Page 7
and the certificate of use. The Dade County Code contains such a
mechanism, whereby the Director of its Building and Zoning
Department files an application of revocation with the Board of
Adjustment, which may, after a hearing revoke the variance,
special exception or other zoning permit.
