RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY,
FLORIDA RE -AFFIRMING THE RESTRICTIONS
CONTAINED IN THE MARCH 12,1963 COUNTY DEED TO
THE CITY OF MIAMI FOR MARINE STADIUM AND
DIRECTING THE MAYOR AND COUNTY ATTORNEY TO
TAKE ALL ACTION NECESSARY TO STRICTLY
ENFORCE THE TERMS OF SAID DEED; PROVIDING FOR
IMPLEMENTATION; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
WHEREAS, Virginia Key consists of over 800 acres of mostly government -owned land
used primarily for park and recreation purposes; and
WHEREAS, Miami -Dade County (the "County") has designated virtually all of Virginia
Key as "Park and Recreation" on its Future Land Use Plan Map; and
WHEREAS, a 61.8+/- acre portion of Virginia Key located along the Rickenbacker
Causeway (the "Site") was transferred by the County to the City of Miami (the "City") on March
12, 1963 to establish a waterfront amphitheater appropriately named "Marine Stadium" in order to
provide an outdoor cultural arts venue for the residents of the County; and
WHEREAS, the deed of conveyance by the County to the City restricts the use of the Site
to a "Marine Stadium and allied purposes;" and
WHEREAS, the City constructed the amphitheater and used it primarily as a
performing arts venue until approximately 1992, when it was abandoned and all uses on the Site
ceased; and
WHEREAS, recent efforts by the City have been initiated to convert most of the Site to
a venue for commercial exhibition events, which are inconsistent with the well -established park and
3
recreation land uses established for Virginia Key and the surrounding area, including Key
Biscayne; and
WHEREAS, the City's intended use with up to 800,000 square feet of exhibition space and
$16,000,000 of permanent infrastructure, including the resurfacing much of the Site with solid
impervious surfaces is contrary to the park and recreation environment the County wishes to
maintain for all of Virginia Key; and
WHEREAS, the proposed use will interfere with the use and enjoyment of the natural
environment existing on Key Biscayne, Virginia Key and all the areas in and around the
Rickenbacker Causeway, including all of Crandon Park and Bill Baggs State Park; and
WHEREAS, the County Commission finds it in the best interest of the public that the Site
be used for a Marine Stadium and allied purposes only, and not as a site for the establishment
of any other use unless it is directly and necessarily supportive of and associated with the Marine
Stadium;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF NIIAMI DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA AS FOLLOWS:
