WHEREAS, the current Code of the City of Miami, as amended ("City Code"), allows

completed within thirty (30) days and some of the inspections take longer than thirty (30)
days, requiring CU applicants to continuously re -apply for a CU causing delays in CU
permitting and creating unnecessary administrative steps for processing; and
WHEREAS, providing an extension of the time to complete the CU inspections from
thirty (30) to ninety (90) days will improve efficiency and make the process less burdensome
for applicants; 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 the
City Code as hereinafter set forth;
