and WHEREAS, on March 4, 2023, the TUP on vacant land originally permitted under PZ-21- 11708, and subsequently amended under PZ-22-13215, was provided a first-time extension for a one-year period; and WHEREAS, on March 27, 2025, the last one-year extension of the approved TUP on the vacant Property was approved under PZ-23-16384 until September 30, 2025;

through the event, these vendors are provided with exposure and opportunities for growth that fast track them to brick and mortar food and beverage businesses; and WHEREAS, the Venue is a vibrant food festival that brings together 50+ up-and-coming food businesses every weekend in the heart of Wynwood and in the three (3) years, Smorgasburg Miami has become an iconic part of the culinary story of Miami and a touchstone of the local community; and WHEREAS, vacant lots often pose challenges for cities, becoming eyesores, contributing to blight, or failing to deliver any return in terms of public benefit or economic activity, and by activating these spaces, the Venue turns them into high -traffic, safe, and family - friendly environments that foster civic engagement and strengthen the area's appeal as a destination; and WHEREAS, the Venue stimulates economic growth through job creation and the vendors employ hundreds of people each year, from chefs and cooks to servers, managers, and delivery drivers, that are mostly filled by local residents, ensuring that wages stay within the community and support household stability; and WHEREAS, tourism is another key driver and each weekend, the event attracts nearly 8,000 visitors, including a significant share of out-of-town guests who spend money not only at the market but also at nearby businesses like cafes, bars, shops, and hotels and that spillover effect amplifies the positive economic footprint of the Venue well beyond its own footprint in Wynwood; and WHEREAS, in the three (3) years of continuous weekend operations, the Venue has operated with no concerns expressed by the public or neighboring businesses; and WHEREAS, notwithstanding the issuance of this extension of time for the TUP pursuant to Section 62-535(a) of the City Code, all noise must comply with Chapter 36 of the City Code; and WHEREAS, three (3) or more violations issued at the Property related to noise or any other section of the City Code shall effectuate a rescission of this approval, and this extension of time shall be deemed void;
