A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION, WITH ATTACHMENT(S),
RECOMMENDING TO THE HISTORIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION
BOARD ITS APPROVAL OF THE STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE'S

NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA CONSIDERATION G: THE PROPERTY IS LESS
THAN FIFTY (50) YEARS OF AGE AND, WHILE THE BACARDI COMPLEX WAS
CREATED IN 1963, THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN

WHEREAS, in January 2018, the State Historic Preservation Office ("State") prepared a
nomination proposal, attached and incorporated as Exhibit "A," to add the Bacardi Building
Complex ("Bacardi Complex") located at 2100 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida to the

WHEREAS, the State has determined that the Bacardi Complex is eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places as it meets National Register Criteria C: the property
embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction in the areas
of architecture and art as the buildings are locally significant examples of the International style
of architecture, with unique artistic flairs which disregard some of the fundamental tenets of the
style, and also meets National Register Criteria Consideration G: the property is less than fifty
(50) years of age and, while the Bacardi Building Complex was created in 1963, the
administration building was constructed in 1973, but contributes to the significance of the
complex because it follows many of the same design principles and influences as the original
parts of the complex and does not detract from the resource; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 23-5(b) of the Code of the City of Miami, as amended
("City Code"), the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board ("HEPB") shall obtain a written
recommendation from the City Commission and the Miami -Dade Board of County

Applicant, of its actions which shall also be notified of the HEPB's actions; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 23-5(d) of the City Code, if the HEPB, local officials, or
both support the nomination, the State will schedule the nomination for consideration by the
State review board for the national register at its next regular meeting; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 23-5(d) of the City Code, if both the HEPB and the local
officials recommend that a property not be nominated to the national register, the State will take
no further action on the nomination unless an appeal is filed with the State;
