A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL SUPPORTING
THE REPEAL OF STATE PREEMPTION OF MUNCIPAL ORDINANCES
CONCERNING THE FREQUENCY AND DURATION OF SHORT-TERM
VACATION RENTALS,AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, Prior to June 1, 2011, Miami Shores Village held authority to regulate vacation
rentals based on their classification as vacation rentals, including regulation of frequency and duration;
WHEREAS, In 2011, the Legislature passed CS/CS/CS/HB 883 which pre-empted to the State the
power to regulate vacation rentals and prevented local governments such as Miami Shores Village from
enacting any new law, ordinance, or regulation that restricted or prohibited the use of vacation rentals
based on classification, use, or occupancy;
WHEREAS, In 2014, the Legislature passed SB 356, partially removing the pre-emption to the
State and permitting local governments to regulate vacation rentals, provided those regulations do not
prohibit vacation rentals or restrict the duration or frequency of vacation rentals;
WHEREAS, Miami Shores Village has experienced the use of residential homes as vacation
rentals in a manner that is conducive to crime, disturbs neighbors, and negatively impacts property
values;
WHEREAS, In order to preserve the well-being of our residents and the residential quality of our
community, the Miami Shores Village Council wishes to consider enacting municipal ordinances that
concern the length and duration of vacation rentals within the Village.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL:
Section 1. That the Village Council supports the adoption of legislation providing for the repeal, in
whole or in part, of the pre-emption contained in Florida Statute §509.032(7), in order
to allow municipalities such as Miami Shores to enact reasonable ordinances concerning
the frequency and duration of short term vacation rentals so as to further the best
interests of the residents in the Village's single family residential districts.
Section 2. The Village Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this Resolution to the Miami-Dade
County Delegation, Governor Rick Scott, the Speaker of the House and the Senate
President.
Section 3. That this resolution is effective immediately upon its passage.
