Subject: An Ordinance amending City Code, Chapter 29, "Landfills and Waterfront Improvements."
Purpose of Item:
Adoption of an Ordinance amending Chapter 29, of the code of the City of Miami, Florida, entitled,
"Landfills and Waterfront Improvements," Article III, `Bulkheads, Seawalls, Piers, Docks, Groins„
Marine Railways and Other Similar Structures," Section, "Design". This Ordinance provides
verbiage to exclude properties under obligation of contracts, including without limitation restrictive
covenants or deed restrictions, under the Constitution of the State of Florida.
Background Information:
The City of Miami (the "City") is a coastal community where from time to time the normal tidal
waters flood coastal low lying areas, creating a safety and health issue. As such the property owners
have a responsibility to prevent the flooding while also keeping the aesthetic aspect of the community.
On June 14, 2007, the City Commission passed Ordinance number 12926, establishing a design
standard specification for seawalls or bulkheads on all waterfront properties east of US-1, except
those fronting the Miami River, to protect the health and safety of the citizens and property of the
City. The previous Ordinance did not take into account contractual conflicts owners would have on
their properties. This amendment corrects this issue.
