ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14
Miami-Dade County is amending Chapter 14 of its Code of Ordinances related to fire prevention and life safety. The ordinance updates definitions, clarifies requirements for owner statements on fire investigations, modifies appeal procedures for fire code violations, and revises operating permit requirements. It introduces provisions for recording consent agreements and notices of violation, mandates notification to the Chief Fire Official upon correction of certain violations, and authorizes the Chief Fire Official to order utility disconnections in specific circumstances for buildings with pending fire code violations. The ordinance also makes technical amendments to the Florida Fire Prevention Code, updates the false fire alarm ordinance, and provides for the sale of exempt fireworks in accordance with Florida Statute 791.04. Additionally, it addresses the designation and posting to identify structures sharing a street address, updates emergency action plan requirements, mandates testing and maintenance of exit and emergency lighting, requires reporting of fire protection system maintenance, and sets standards for emergency power systems and water supplies for firefighting outside the urban development boundary. Civil penalties are imposed and modified. Public comment included support for the legislation from fireworks industry representatives concerned about illegal 'packing the cakes' and a need for layered protection and enforcement. Concerns were raised by a commissioner regarding the utility disconnection authority, emphasizing the need for clear definitions of 'imminent danger,' written documentation, and an emergency appeal process for businesses. The fire department clarified that utility disconnection is a last resort, preceded by extensive notification and communication, and that an appeals process already exists. Another commissioner expressed concerns about illegal fireworks in residential areas, and the fire department explained the county's role in permitting and inspecting pop-up tents selling fireworks, emphasizing that state law governs fireworks statewide and only sparklers are legal for sale in Miami-Dade County.
