"ZONING AND PLANNING', MORE SPECIFICALLY CREATING A NEW ARTICLE
XVI ENTITLED "ART IN PUBLIC PLACES PROGRAM"; CONTAINING A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND PROVIDING FOR AN IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVE
DATE.
WHEREAS, various local governments throughout the State of Florida and the country
have implemented public art programs committing to the placement of public art in urban
environments; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami ("City") had the vision and foresight to adopt the first public
art program in Miami -Dade County in 1967 and in 1988; but, due to changes in the City's
Administration, the program went dormant; and
WHEREAS, the City seeks to re-establish a public art program that would contribute to
the aesthetic diversity and character of the built environment and the cultural enrichment of the
community; and
WHEREAS, a public art program would create a stimulating and diverse cultural
environment that reflects, defines, and enhances the City's heritage, values, and visions for the
future through art integrated into the architecture, infrastructure, and landscape; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that the aesthetic diversity provided by art within the
City's built environment is vital to the quality of the life of its citizens and to the economic
success of its businesses as it attracts visitors and potential residents, fuels the local economy

premier world class place in which to live, work, and raise a family; and
WHEREAS, in Metromedia, Inc. v. San Diego, 453 U.S. 490 (1980), the United States
Supreme Court held that land development regulations which require development to meet
aesthetic conditions have been generally found to be supported by a legitimate public purpose;
and
WHEREAS, in Ehrlich v. City of Culver City, 911 P.2d 429 (Cal. 1996), the California
Supreme Court held that an art fee on private development is a legitimate aesthetic regulation
which does not require the same level of legal scrutiny as an impact fee; and
WHEREAS, on February 10, 2016 and March 9, 2016, two (2) public workshops were
held to discuss the proposed Art in Public Places legislation with the general public and
interested parties; and
WHEREAS, the Miami Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board ("PZAB"), at its meeting on

quality of life for its citizens through the placement of art, creation of artistic opportunities, and
