other natural disaster?

If your property was legally built under a prior zoning code, it may be
considered a legal nonconforming structure. Legal nonconforming
structures that are damaged as a result of a natural disaster may
be rebuilt to its original state as detailed in Section 7.2.2 of Miami 21.

Q:
Is a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) required for my event?
A:
Temporary events are those events of limited duration, open to a
large number of people. An event which would require a temporary
event permit is an event which is not one of the authorized
uses of a property, and is an event which is not included as a
customary, primary, or ancillary use as identified in its Certificate
of Use. Any use of the property already included in the Certificate
of Use for that property will not require a separate permit. For those
properties that do not require Certificates of Use, such as one- or
two-family homes, it is an event that is over 100 people and impacts
traffic and access to the public right-of-way.
Further information concerning Temporary Events may be found in Chapter
62 of the City Code. You may access the City Code by visiting the
following webpage:
www.municode.com.
To apply for a Temporary Use Permit, the following application must be completed
and submitted to the local
NET
Office along with the required payment:
TUP Form.
Q: How do I obtain a Certificate of Use?
A: The
MiamiBiz online application allows you to
apply for a Certificate of Use and a Business
Tax Receipt. Prior to obtaining your
Certificate of Use, there may be a few steps
that may need to be taken.
