WHEREAS, the Miami -Dade County Board of County Commissioners ("County Commissioners")
enacted Ordinance No. 07-61 on April 26, 2007 ("the County Ordinance"), authorizing the display of
art or graphics on buildings and walls within certain commercial and special districts in the City of

commercial and special districts within the City as reflected by adopting Ordinance No. 12983, or

WHEREAS, in order to promote the quality of life and regulate visual blight, the City seeks to
control the display of art or graphics on buildings and walls within certain commercial and special
districts in the City; and

commercial and industrial Urban Core areas of Miami, as defined by Miami -Dade County, was a
predominant and customary use up to and including 1972, and that permitting wall murals is
consistent with such customary use and the intent of the Highway Beautification Act of 1965; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission after careful consideration of this matter deems it advisable and
in the best interest of the general welfare of the City and its citizens to amend its Code, to provide for
an expanded Mural boundary and to allow more Mural permits to be issued within the City;
