Business and Professional Regulation. The regulation of public lodging establishments has been
preempted to the state since 1993 under section 509.032(7), Florida Statutes.[2] A public lodging
establishment is classified and defined within section 509.242, as a hotel, motel, vacation rental,
nontransient apartment, transient apartment, bed and breakfast inn, and timeshare project.
WHEREAS, in Chapter 2011-119, the Legislature did two things that are pertinent to
this discussion, first, they combined the terms and definitions of “resort condominium” and
“resort dwelling” under the new term “vacation rental.”[4] Section 509.242(1)(c) now provides:
1
50120162;2
periods of less than 30 days or 1 calendar month, whichever is less, or which is
advertised or held out to the public as a place regularly rented to guests.”
1. “A local law, ordinance, or regulation may not restrict the use of vacation rentals,
prohibit vacation rentals, or regulate vacation rentals based solely on their
classification, use, or occupancy. This paragraph does not apply to any local law,
ordinance, or regulation adopted on or before June 1, 2011.”
1. “A local law, ordinance, or regulation may not prohibit vacation rentals or regulate
the duration or frequency of rental of vacation rentals. This paragraph does not apply
to any local law, ordinance, or regulation adopted on or before June 1, 2011.”
WHEREAS, this Ordinance does not prohibit Vacation Rentals, or the duration or
frequency of Vacation Rentals, nor is it the intention of the City of West Miami to do so, but
rather this Ordinance is intended to address life safety and compatibility concerns in the interests
of the health, peace, safety, and general welfare, and
WHEREAS, residents residing within their residential dwellings are inherently familiar
with the local surroundings, local weather disturbances, local hurricane evacuation plans, and
means of egress from their residential dwellings, thereby minimizing potential risks to
themselves and their families, and
2
50120162;2
additional burden on, and potentially putting at risk, emergency personnel in the event of an
emergency situation, and
WHEREAS, certain Vacation Rentals are presently located within the single family and
two family dwelling residential zoning districts of the City of West Miami, and
WHEREAS, Vacation Rentals, left unregulated, can create negative impacts within
residential neighborhoods due to excessive noise, parking and traffic problems, excessive use
and impact on public services and public works, extreme size and/or greater occupancy, and
WHEREAS, Vacation Rentals situated within residential neighborhoods can disturb the
quiet nature and atmosphere of the residential neighborhoods, and the quiet enjoyment of its
residents, and
WHEREAS, a residential dwelling is typically the single largest investment a family will
make with the residents of the residential dwelling desiring the tranquility and peaceful
enjoyment of their neighborhood without excessive noise and increased parking issues and traffic
congestion caused by transient occupants of Vacation Rentals.
SECTION 1. The foregoing "whereas" clauses are hereby ratified and confirmed as
being true and correct and are hereby made a specific part of this Ordinance upon adoption
thereof.
A. Definitions. The following terms as used in this Ordinance are defined as set

establishment that has, no less than eight (8) hours per day, seven (7) days a week, a person or
persons physically present on site for purposes of supplying management, rental, and/or
maintenance services for that particular transient public lodging establishment, and, when the
office is closed, has a person who is available upon one hour’s phone notice to return to the
transient public lodging establishment to supply management or maintenance services.

Owner, be performed by an agent of the Vacation Rental Owner, so long as the Vacation Rental
Owner notifies the City in writing, on a form provided by the City, of the identity and contact

and any false statement in the application shall be the basis of denial or
revocation of any license issued pursuant to such application.
(4) After all requirements have been met by Vacation Rental Owner, the City
shall issue a license to operate vacation rentals as stated hereinabove and
shall collect a licensing fee in the amount of $1,000.00 which shall be
separate to the required registration fee. The license shall be valid for a
term of twelve (12) months.
