Memo
To: The City Commission
From: Jorge L. Vera, Zoning and Code Administrator
Subject: Request for Zoning Moratorium waiver
Williams Island Ocean Club & Resort
Date: January 21, 1999
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Commission grant the requested waiver of moratorium for the modification
of condition and deny the request for temporary certificate of occupancy.
REASONS
After reviewing the above referenced request, staff has concluded that the grant of a waiver, which would
permit the consideration of a zoning approval for a modification of a previously approved condition is
appropriate. Said use would not contravene the purpose of the moratorium ordinance and will not
materially reduce the existing capacity of public services. There is virtually no possibility of a comprehensive
plan objective or policy which would seek to change the character of a long established commercial use.
The use originally granted to the applicant was a "Beach club in conjunction with an existing hotel". It is
important to recognize that a hotel use is classified by the South Florida Building Code as Group "H"
occupancy. A beach club on the other hand is classified as a Group "A or B" occupancy. While the hotel
exists and operates, the beach club can be incidental to the hotel without requiring a reclassification of the
building. However, the operation of the beach club without the hotel as the main use, would necessitate
reclassifying the entire occupancy to Group "A or B ". Any changes in occupancy group would mandate that
the entire building be brought up to code standards for Group "A or B" occupancy. It is not within the
purview of the City Commission to grant variances from the building code, even on a temporary basis.
Therefore, the commission should approve the request for a waiver of the moratorium to permit the applicant
to request a modification of a previously approved condition. The commission should reject directing the
building official to grant a temporary certificate of occupancy in contravention of the law. This is not a
recommendation regarding the substance of any zoning request, but merely a recommendation that
the Commission grant a waiver of the moratorium in this specific instance so that the applicant's
zoning request may be considered by the City at a later date.

Re: Williams Island Ocean Club & Resort / Request for Waiver of
Moratorium to Permit Modifications to Resolution No. 98 -Z -17
Dear Mr. Vera:
This shall constitute a request for a waiver of the zoning hearing moratorium submitted to
the City of Sunny Isles Beach (the "City ") on behalf of Williams Island Ocean Club, Inc.
( "Williams Island "), in connection with the Williams Island Ocean Club and Resort located at
17875 Collins Avenue, and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the
"Property ")
The waiver of the moratorium is being requested to allow for the modification of Item #6
of Resolution No. 98 -Z -17 (the "Resolution ") by the City Commission on January 21, 1999 (the
"Meeting Date ") or, in the alternative, to enable the City Commission to consider the issuance of
a temporary certificate of occupancy. City staff specifically indicated that its initial suggestion is
for Williams Island to seek to amend Item #6 of the Resolution to provide for the issuance of a
temporary certificate of occupancy ( "TCO ") for the Property. However, we reserve the right to
modify the specific nature of the request, subject to further discussion with City staff.
Please note, while we believe that this request is unnecessary and the City is empowered
to issue the TCO without a public hearing to amend the Resolution, this request is being
submitted to the City in an abundance of caution. In submitting this request, Williams Island does
not waive its objections.
