A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE IMPACT FEES
FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT; PROVIDING FOR THE
ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, during Fiscal Year 2018, an increase in impact fees was adopted to
bring the City's fees in line with other municipalities within the county; and in turn ensure
adequate funding to accommodate demand from future developments for services such
as police, roads, and parks and recreation services, and
WHEREAS, the new rates outlined within the Ordinance did not account for
existing residential projects already progressing through the development process (e.g.
pre-application review, site plan, building permit), and
WHEREAS, an amendment is being proposed which sets rates for existing
residential development which are closer to the rates that were in effect when these
projects initially entered the development review process, and
WHEREAS, existing residential projects are considered to be those which were
already under development review prior to the end of Fiscal Year 2018 (September 30,
2018); the rates for new residential development projects would remain unchanged,
and
WHEREAS, new projects are considered to be all residential projects submitted
for development review after the beginning of the new fiscal year (October 1 , 2018), and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the changes in the Impact Fee structure will
continue to generate additional revenue for the City, while ensuring the success of
projects already in the development pipeline,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA AS FOLLOWS:
