Florida 33160 <br />(305) 947-0606 phone (305) 949-3113 fax <br />City Commission <br />City Manager <br />November 12, 1998 <br />AMNESTY (50% REDUCTION) FOR BRINGING EXISTING <br />STRUCTURES AND USES INTO CONFORMITY WITH LAW <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the City Commission adopt, by motion, the attached resolution <br />granting fee reductions for bringing existing structures into compliance with the law. <br />REASONS <br />Many businesses and structures in the City are improperly licensed and permitted. <br />This has resulted from years of neglect by Miami -Dade County. The permit fees to <br />have these businesses apply for the proper zoning are very costly. This City's goal is <br />to work with business owners and property owners to achieve compliance with existing <br />laws, without imposing excessive costs. Therefore incentives are recommended as a <br />way of expediting compliance with City codes. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />The amnesty period will expire May 31, 1999. During this period the City will initiate <br />a great deal of publicity by encouraging citizens and businesses to apply for the <br />appropriate zoning and permit applications. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />James DiPietro, <br />City Manager <br />JD:pw <br />
