PLANNING
RECOMMENDATION Approval.
BACKGROUND
AND ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment is in order to require a re -occupancy closing certification from the city
prior to closings on real estate sales; this would apply to real estate sale and purchase
agreements, including contracts approved by realtor associations or utilized by owners, without a
real estate broker. This would apply in R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4 districts. The purpose and intent of
this ordinance is to provide a method to curtail the proliferation of illegal units and apartments
within the City of Miami that have negatively impacted the quality of life in single-family and low -
density residential neighborhoods, created parking problems and traffic congestion with more
drivers and residents in the city and imposed unfair strain and financial burden on municipal
services and police and fire protection .
