Subject: Amendments on the Floor of the two heat island ordinances
The two heat island ordinances were amended on the floor last night. As you know, they are going
to commission on 9/24. Do we need to do anything to include the amendments as a substitution
item for the 9/24 commission? Do you want me to email the amendments in writing?

ORDINANCE NO (X)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI COMMISSION AMENDING ARTICLE 9
OF ORDINANCE NO. 11000, THE ZONING CODE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI,
FLORIDA, TO CREATE SECTION 951 ENTITLED "HEAT ISLAND EFFECT —
ROOF" TO ADD SECTIONS TO PROVIDE FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY
RESPONSIBLE CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING ROOFING SYSTEMS DESIGNED
TO DECREASE THE ABSORPTION AND REMITTANCE OF ATMOSPHERIC HEAT
IN CITY OF MIAMI, CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, The City of Miami is committed to reducing elevated temperatures and associated
air-quality issues stemming from urban heat island effects; and
WHEREAS, during the past eight (8) years, the City of Miami ("City") has launched a
comprehensive and aggressive environmental program to clean streets, waterways, brownfields,
storm drains, and to improve air and water quality; and
I
WHEREAS, the City Commission has adopted the recommendations of MiPlan, the City of
Miami Climate Action Plan, which calls for promotion of green building programs such as the
US Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
rating system; and
WHEREAS, the USGBC LEED rating system promotes sustainable sites, water conservation,
energy efficiency, conservation of materials and resources, and indoor air quality; and
WHEREAS, MiPlan promotes various methods to achieve reduction in energy consumption
which is adversely affected by elevated temperatures in the urban -core; and
WHEREAS, heat absorption and remittance from standard roofing materials raises localized
temperatures, increases energy consumed to cool buildings and associated green house gas
emissions, deteriorates air-quality, and may harm local plant and animal life sensitive to
increased temperatures; and
WHEREAS, roofs designed to reduce heat island effect either through enhanced reflective
materials (cool roofs) or incorporating vegetation (green roofs) reduce costs and energy
consumption associated with building cooling systems, provide habitat for wildlife, and increase
the life -cycle of roofs; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI:
Section 1. The recitals and findings in the Preamble to this ordinance are adopted by reference
and incorporated as if fully set forth in this Section.
Section 2. Article 9 of Ordinance No. 11000, the zoning code of the city of Miami, Florida, is
amended to create section 951 entitled "Heat Island Effect — Roof' in the following particulars:
Article 9
General and Supplementary Regulations
Section 951
HEAT ISLAND EFFECT - ROOF
951.1 Intent
The requirements of this ordinance are intended to reduce the heat island effect in the City of
Miami and to reduce energy consumption and bills for buildings within the City.
951.2 Definitions
Heat island effect is an elevated temperature over an urban area when compared to rural
areas, typically caused by the increased presence of dark, heat absorbing materials, such as
asphalt and dark roofs, in urban areas.
Solar reflectance is the fraction of solar energy reflected by a material.
951.3 Applicability
The provisions of this ordinance are applicable to newly constructed buildings and to repair
or replacement of greater than 50% by area of existing roofs after the effective date of this
ordinance and located in the City of Miami. All repairs or replacement of existing roofing
shall be reviewed by the Zoning Department for compliance with this ordinance. The
following are exempted from the requirements of this ordinance:
(a) The portion of the roof acting as a substructure for and covered by a rooftop deck,
vegetation associated with an extensive or intensive green roof as defined by US
Environmental Protection Association, or by photovoltaic and solar equipment.
(b) A rooftop deck covering a maximum of 1/3 of the rooftop total gross area.
951.4 Solar reflectance.
All roof exterior surfaces shall have a minimum solar reflectance as specified in Sections
951.5 through 951.7 when (i) tested in accordance with ASTM E903 or ASTM E1918, (ii)
tested with a portable reflectometer at near ambient conditions, (iii) labeled by the Cool Roof
Rating Council, or (iv) labeled as an Energy Star qualified roof product. Any product that
r-
has been rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council or by Energy Star shall display a label
verifying the rating of the product.
951.5 Requirements for Low Sloped Roofs
Roofing materials used in roofs with slopes of a rise of 0 units in a horizontal length
(0:12 pitch) up to and including roofs with slopes of a rise of 2 units in a horizontal
length of 12 units (2:12 units) ("low -sloped") shall meet the following requirements:
(a) Low -sloped roofs constructed as part of a new building shall utilize roofing
products that meet or exceed an initial reflectance value of 0.72 or a three-year
installed reflectance value of 0.5 as determined by the Cool Roof Rating
Council or by Energy Star.
(b) Exception: where more than 50% of the total gross area of the low -sloped roof
is covered with vegetation associated with an extensive or intensive green roof
as defined by the US EPA, the remainder of the roof shall have a reflectance
value of a minimum of 0.30. The rooftop deck exception in Section 951.3
applies.
(c) Exception: ballasted roofs with a minimum of 15 lbs/sq. ft. or ballast over the
entire roof surface may have a reflectance value of a minimum of 0.30. For
the purposes of this section, "ballast" shall mean river rock aggregate or
larger, pavers or other means of weighing down a roofing membrane over a
substrate to resist wind uplift.
951.6 Requirements for Steep Sloped Roofs
Roofing materials used in roofs with slopes of a rise greater than 2 units in a horizontal
length (2:12 pitch) ("steep -sloped") shall meet the following requirements:
(a) Steep sloped roofs shall have an initial solar reflectance of 0.15 or greater.
951.7 Requirements for Roofs with Multiple Slopes
Roofs with multiple slopes shall be subject to those requirements of the applicable to the
slope which covers the largest area of the building footprint.
Section 3. All ordinances or parts of ordinances that are inconsistent or in conflict
with the provisions of this Ordinance are repealed.

Ordinance is declared invalid, the remaining provisions of this Ordinance shall not be affected.
