Pending Legislation in Florida Florida House Bill 1051 would ban overnight anchoring in several areas popular with cruising boaters in Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, and Destin Florida. This bill is just in the early stages of consideration and has not as yet been reviewed or analyzed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission since it was just filed on 28 December 2015. All USPS members in the affected areas in Florida, and others who boat in those areas, should maintain awareness of this bill and any scheduled actions. There are several websites that can be utilized including http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/bills.aspx and http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=56022. USPS Members in the affected areas should maintain awareness and status of the bill which may be changed at any time. Here is a summary: The bill prohibits a person from anchoring or mooring a vessel from one half hour after sunset to one half hour before sunrise in the following recreational boating zones: The section of Middle River lying between Northeast 21st Court and the Intracoastal Waterway in Broward County Sunset Lake in Miami - Dade County The sections of Biscayne Bay in Miami Dade County lying between: o Rivo Alto Island and Di Lido Island o San Marino Island and San Marco Island; and o San Marco Island and Biscayne Island Crab Island in Choctawhatchee Bay at the East Pass in Okaloosa County. USPS will not be taking a position on this legislation. That does not prohibit individuals from testifying as an individual on his/her own behalf and not representing USPS. .

Florida Anchoring Information Courtesy of Boat Owners Association of the United States
Florida Anchoring Information Courtesy of Boat Owners Association of The United States In 2009, several changes were made to Florida law (Chapter 327) that increased recreational boaters’ ability to anchor within the state. This law also outlined a temporary pilot mooring and anchoring program to allow five localities around Florida to regulate anchoring within their jurisdictions. This temporary pilot program will expire on July 1, 2017. This bulletin is intended to help boaters and local law enforcement understand Florida’s anchoring and mooring laws, and the status of the pilot mooring project. Can local governments restrict me from anchoring? Under Florida law, boaters who use their boats for navigation (even if only occasionally) cannot be restricted from anchoring by a local jurisdiction (city or county) outside of permitted mooring fields. Cities and counties are expressly forbidden to “enact, continue in effect, or enforce any ordinance or local regulation ... regulating the anchoring of vessels other than live-aboard vessels outside the marked boundaries of mooring fields.” (Note definition of live-aboard below.) Local governments may regulate anchoring within the marked boundaries of properly permitted mooring fields. As of September 2012 these are: Key West Mooring Field, Ft. Myers Beach Mooring Field, Fernandina Beach Municipal Mooring Field, Miami Dinner Key Mooring Field, City of St. Augustine Mooring Field, Titusville City Mooring Field, City of Sarasota Mooring Field, City of St. Petersburg Mooring Field, City of Naples Mooring Field, City of Punta Gorda Mooring Field, and Fort Myers Beach Mooring Field. (Existing FL law) 327.60 Local regulations; limitations — Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit local governmental authorities from the enactment or enforcement of regulations which prohibit or restrict the mooring or anchoring of floating structures or live-aboard vessels within their jurisdictions or of any vessels within the marked boundaries of mooring fields permitted as provided in s.

STREETSCAPE-SECTION VI VENETIAN ISLANDS NEIGHBORHOOD No
STREETSCAPE-SECTION VI VENETIAN ISLANDS NEIGHBORHOOD No. 13 RIVO ALTO DI LIDO SAN MARINO Prepared by: BASIS OF DESIGN REPORT Venetian Islands Bid Package C STREETSCAPE A. OVERVIEW The voters of The City of Miami Beach approved a major bond issue on November 2, 1999 for the amount of $ 92 million in General Obligation (GO) Bonds, of which $ 57 million were specifically allocated for the right-of-way infrastructure improvement program. The purpose of the Venetian Islands (Rivo Alto, Di Lido and San Marino Islands) streetscape improvements is to provide the restoration and the enhancements of each island’s streets to meet the community needs. The Rivo Alto, Di Lido and San Marino Islands are primarily developed with single-family residences. However, each island has been addressed separately to address the unique needs of each. The planning stages concluded that there were several types of improvements applicable to The Venetian Islands Package C. Among these improvements are streets narrowing, landscaping improvements, milling and resurfacing and new decorative street lighting. The City’s GO Bond Program will fund all of these improvements, since GO Bonds are derived exclusively from property taxes to implement non-revenue producing projects, such as street improvements, streetscape and landscaping, parks, public safety and beaches. Vehicle circulation and pedestrian circulation enhancements will also be addressed, including the repair of broken sidewalks, pavement markings and traffic signage, pedestrian and handicap access ramps consistent with the Venetian Islands Master Plan and community preferences. Additionally, the scope of the project will incorporate traffic calming features consistent with the Venetian Islands Master Plan and community preferences, as well as sidewalk and driveway repairs.

Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment On
Filing # 87152020 E-Filed 03/28/2019 07:02:47 PM IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 11TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA CIRCUIT CIVIL DIVISION CASE NO. 2018-021933-CA-01 (22) NATALIE NICHOLS, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, Defendant. __________________________/ DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON COUNT III OF THE SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT Defendant, the City of Miami Beach (the “City”), moves for partial summary judgment on Count III of Plaintiff Natalie Nichols’ (“Nichols”) Second Amended Complaint for Declaratory Judgment. Count III, which asserts that the schedule of fines provided under the challenged City ordinances are preempted by Florida law, fails for a number of reasons. Count III alleges that the City’s fine structure for short-term rental violation is preempted by Chapter 162 of the Florida Statutes. Summary judgment should be entered in favor of the City for several reasons. First, Chapter 162 of the Florida Statutes provides one method of enforcing ordinances, but its plain language permits municipalities to adopt an alternate code enforcement system, as the City has done here. Second, Florida courts have routinely upheld similar alternative enforcement systems adopted by local governments, including those that set their own fines. Third, the challenged ordinances do not conflict with Florida law. Finally, Nichols lacks standing to raise her preemption claim because the challenged fine structure has not been enforced against her. For these and the other reasons set forth below, summary judgment as to Count III should be entered in favor of the City. RELEVANT FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY This is a meritless challenge to two City zoning ordinances that restrict the rental of properties for terms of six months or less if they are located in certain residential zoning districts, City Code § 142-905(b)(5),1 which governs short-term rentals of single-family homes, and § 142-1111,2 which governs short-term rentals of townhomes, condominiums, and apartments (collectively, the “Ordinances”).

NBF Legislative Update
Earl Waesche, NBF Legislative Director [email protected] April 2016 Florida Passes Anchoring Restriction Bill: As reported by Trade Only Today - The Florida Senate voted 36-2, to adopt a House-initiated bill that would limit anchoring at five locations in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The House approved the measure by a vote of 105-12. The bill now goes to Gov. Rick Scott for his signature. He has seven days to sign or veto it. If he signs the bill, it will take effect July 1. HB 1051 prohibits anchoring from one-half hour after sunset until one-half hour before sunrise on the Middle River between N.E. 21st Court and the Intracoastal Waterway in Broward County; Sunset Lake in Miami-Dade County; and the sections of Biscayne Bay in Miami-Dade County between Rivo Alto Island and Di Lido Island, San Marino Island and San Marco Island, and San Marco Island and Biscayne Island. The bill gives vessel operators some reprieve from the bill restrictions if their boat suffers a dangerous mechanical failure, if weather conditions pose a risk, if they move their boat, or if they are attending a special event. Recreational and commercial fishermen actively engaged in fishing; government, law enforcement, military and fire-rescue boats; and construction and dredge vessels on active jobs would be exempted from the rule. The bill makes the case that these waters should be exempt because they are in “densely populated urban areas which have narrow state waterways, residential docking facilities and significant recreational boating traffic.” These also are anchorages where there has been user conflict between boaters and waterfront property owners, who say boaters anchor behind their homes for weeks at a time and are an eyesore and a nuisance.
