Consideration of amending Article 12 of Ordinance No.
11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Miami.
N/A.
Consideration of an Ordinance of the Miami City
Commission amending Ordinance No. 11000, as
amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami,
Florida, by amending Article 12, Section 1201, Duties of
City Commission, in order to clarify that City Commission
review of Zoning Board decisions is by hearing de novo;
further amending Article 20, Status of Decisions of
Zoning Board; Review by City Commission; Commission
powers, etc. to provide guidelines for a hearing de novo
before the City Commission; containing a repealer
provision and severability clause; and providing an
effective date.
Approval.
Recently, a Circuit Court ruled that appeals from the
Zoning Board to the City Commission are to be
conducted like appellate hearings. However, the City's
practice is to conduct these hearings de novo "new
hearing" where all parties can address the City
Commission with new evidence, etc. This amendment is
simply to clarify that this is the City's practice.
