COMPLAINT
Plaintiff, Bal Harbour Shops, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BHS” or
“Plaintiff”), by and through undersigned counsel, sues Defendant the Village of Bal Harbour, a
INTRODUCTION
1. In 2023, the Florida Legislature boldly and decisively confronted one of our state’s
most pressing issues – the rising cost of housing – and through the passage of what is commonly
known as the “Live Local Act” mandated that certain local zoning ordinances which restrict
housing availability must be superseded and preempted by state law. Faced with this clear and
unequivocal directive to promote attainable housing in the state, some exclusionary municipalities
have chosen to either ignore the law completely or assert positions contrary to the law to delay and
thwart its clear intent. This conflict, which is often characterized as a debate between YIMBYs
(yes in my backyard) and NIMBYs (not in my backyard), meets its inflection point in this lawsuit,
where BHS asks this Court to have the historically exclusionary Village of Bal Harbour follow the
clear mandate of the law and require the Village to process, review and approve its pending Live
Local-compliant application for administrative development approval and reject as a matter of law
some of the pretextual grounds upon which the Village seeks to effectively nullify the law,
including but not limited to a contemplated (and illegal) moratorium targeting BHS’s project.
2. Plaintiff Bal Harbour Shops, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company with its
principal place of business located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Plaintiff owns Bal Harbour
Shops, an internationally recognized luxury lifestyle and fashion shopping destination, located at
4. This Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to (i) Section 26.012 of the
Florida Statutes; (ii) Chapter 86 of the Florida Statute; (iii) Article V, Section 5(b), Florida
Florida Statutes because the Village and the BHS Property are located in this County.
6. All conditions precedent to the filing of this action have occurred, have been
performed by Plaintiff or have otherwise been fulfilled, or their performance has been excused or
7. Plaintiff has retained the services of undersigned counsel for the purpose of
bringing and maintaining this action and has obligated itself to pay a reasonable fee for legal

BACKGROUND FACTS
8. In 1957, Stanley Whitman (who was also one of the incorporators of the Village in
1946) completed the purchase of 16 acres in the Village, which at the time were occupied by World

grocery store; however, in 1965 Stanley Whitman had the vision to develop Florida’s first

of the Shops, has created and managed an internationally recognized luxury and retail destination
that has become the commercial center of the Village and helped establish the Village as an

variety of permitted uses, including but not limited to: financial institutions, art galleries, municipal
13. Adjacent to the Business District, and directly across the street from the Shops, is
the Village’s only high-rise, high-density residential district, the “Ocean Front District,” which
extends the entire length of the Village’s eastern boundary on the Atlantic Ocean. According to
the Village Zoning Code, the Ocean Front District’s “intended development characteristics include
primarily high-rise luxury residential development with ancillary commercial and recreational
3
uses, exclusively for the use of the residents of the residential development.” § 21-293, Village
14. The Village has a long history of approving luxury, high-rise condominiums and
hotel structures. The ultra-luxurious, 475-room Americana Hotel opened in 1956, and numerous
high-rise luxury towers reaching at least twenty stories followed suit, including: Balmoral
(completed in 1977), Palace at Bal Harbour (completed in 1994), Majestic Tower (completed in
1998), Bellini Bal Harbour (completed in 2005), St. Regis Bal Harbour (completed in 2012),

21. To the contrary, there has been a legacy of exclusionary zoning and housing
practices in the Village that go beyond a mere aversion to affordable housing. See Florida Club
https://www.nytimes.com/1982/12/12/us/florida-club-drops-barriers-in-face-of-discrimination-
suit.html (“The Bal Harbour Club has dropped a 36-year-old policy barring Jews and blacks from
this exclusive seaside community, a practice that brought on a $10 million discrimination suit.”);

unlawful and appalling today, their remnants continue to shape the exclusivity of the Village,1 with
many residents of the Village viewing the addition of affordable housing as antithetical to the
Village’s identity as an exclusive and luxurious community and something that needs to be
23. In 2017, after more than 50 years without any significant expansion and in the face
of a rapidly changing retail marketplace, BHS sought to expand the Shops and submitted an
5
application for site plan approval, which was approved pursuant to Resolution 2017-1077 (the
24. As part of the 2017 Site Plan approval, the Village required BHS to enter into a
"Development Agreement" which was approved by Village Resolution 2017-1077 (the "DA"). A
copy of the DA dated July 27, 2017, is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein.
25. The DA is tied to a specific site plan and provided BHS with assurances that the
Village could not apply future changes to the Village's Code, Charter, or Comprehensive Plan that
26. Under the DA, BHS expressly reserved the right to develop additional density,
intensity and height on the BHS Property if subsequently enacted laws and regulations permitted
27. In exchange for the Village’s approval of the 2017 Site Plan and the ability to
exercise BHS’s right to develop its property, the Village required, as an express condition of its
approval, the following “contributions” and tax benefits and fees to the Village, totaling over $122

Present Value of Increased Business Tax $9,238,000.00
Present Value of Multimodal Fund $8,710,000.00
Contributions
Present Value of Increased Ad Valorem Tax $8,656,000.00
Present Value of Police Department Free Rent $4,216,000.00
Present Value of Off Duty Police Fees $3,889,000.00
Total $60,818,000.00
TOTAL COMBINED ECONOMIC $122,805,000.00
BENEFITS
28. The mitigation exacted by the Village in the DA far exceeded the reasonable or
expected impacts of the proposed expansion on public infrastructure or facilities. BHS was forced
to agree to the Village’s extortionate and unconstitutional demands because that was the only way
29. The Village has already received or will receive all of the land and improvement
30. BHS has at all times complied with the terms of the DA and has conducted itself in
good faith with respect to its terms. BHS intends to continue to comply with the terms of the DA
and has diligently pursued and developed the 2017 Site Plan.2
31. Despite all of BHS’s contributions, the Village has routinely failed to fulfill its legal
obligations (express and implied) under the DA to expedite permit approvals. (§ 21.2, DA).
32. In 2021, BHS continued its efforts to develop the BHS Property and provide the
Village with additional hotel options. At the time, a feasible hotel required an amendment to a
Village Charter provision that limited the Shops’ maximum height to 56 feet (that Charter

In 2018, the Shops sought minor amendments to the 2017 Site Plan to address parking and
circulation, which were approved under Resolution 2018-1202. The DA was also amended under

of Brevard County v. Snyder, 627 So. 2d 469, 472 (Fla. 1993), it is well known that zoning at the
local level can be subject to political influence and “neighborhoodism” which has the effect of
seeking to preserve the status quo of a community and avoid changes to its existing land use
regulations. Richard Babcock, an eminent land use attorney who decried this fact, also aptly noted
that “no one likes single-family zones except the people who live there.” 3 This trend is so common
that an entire vocabulary has emerged to describe this tendency of local residents who oppose all
uses which are not single-family uses and elected officials fearful of such uses – NIMBY (Not In
35. NIMBYism in Florida has been most prevalent with respect to its opposition to
multi-family and/or affordable housing. Throughout Miami-Dade County, and throughout the
State of Florida, applications for multi-family uses have been vehemently opposed by local
residents and local elected officials have often accommodated their opposition. 4
8
36. While opposition to multi-family residential uses have continued, the stock of
affordable housing in Florida has dropped considerably, creating a social crisis in the state. In
2022, the nation’s top housing official declared Miami as the “epicenter of the housing
affordability crises in this country.”5 As of November 2023, Miami remained the least affordable
housing market in the United States, with an average family needing to spend 81.96% of their
37. The Florida Legislature has taken action to resolve this issue through various
legislative acts which limit the temptation of local governments and their elected officials to ignore
property rights and succumb to the “will of the people.” For example, in 2023 the Legislature
enacted Senate Bill 718 to ensure that voters no longer had the ability to limit development through
local referenda. See §163.3167, Fla. Stat. (2023) (“An initiative or referendum process in regard

affordable housing for Florida’s workforce. The Act seeks to spur additional development of
housing by increasing funding, providing new tax exemptions and, relevant here, preempting
development regulations that would otherwise prevent affordable housing from being developed

40. The LLA recognizes a fundamental economic truth: that affordable housing must
be subsidized in some manner. In its preemption of local government regulations, the LLA
"subsidizes" the provision of affordable housing by the grant of additional height and density to
41. In a press release following the Act being signed into law, Florida Senate President
The Live Local plan is the product of discussions with stakeholders over many
years. With their advice and input, we are tackling this complex issue from all
angles . . . providing new avenues for solutions in zoning, encouraging more mixed-
use developments in latent commercial areas, and enhancing public access to
information about expedited permitting and public property that may be suitable
for workforce housing.7
42. Qualifying projects under the Act bypass significant local zoning obstacles.
Specifically, in exchange for a developer’s agreement to restrict at least 40% of a project’s units
as “affordable” (i.e. to households with incomes at or below 120% of the area median income) for
a period of at least 30 years, the Act provides that a local government: (i) Must authorize multi-
family and mixed-use residential (where at least 65% of the total square footage is used for
residential purposes) in any area zoned for commercial, industrial (with limited exclusions) or
mixed-use, (ii) May not limit density of a development below the highest residential density
permitted in the jurisdiction, (iii) May not restrict the height below the highest height permitted
for either commercial or residential development within the jurisdiction within one mile of the
proposed development or three stories, whichever is higher, (iv) May not require zoning or land
use changes, special exceptions or conditional use approvals, variances, or comprehensive plan
amendments to obtain the height, density or use benefits provided for under the Act, and (v) Must

administratively approve a proposed project if the zoning code and comprehensive plan provisions
43. In direct reliance upon the Live Local Act, and in an effort to address the Village’s
workforce housing needs (including the needs of the 2,000+ people anticipated to be employed by
the Shops and its merchant partners upon the conclusion of the retail expansion currently
underway), BHS retained world-renowned architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
(“SOM”) to design a unique work/live opportunity in the Village’s only commercial district, the
Business District.
44. BHS sought to reinforce the iconic image of the Shops and, combined with a hotel
on the Property, transform the Bal Harbour Shops into a proper village center, designed and built
with an aesthetic quality and attention to detail consistent with those manifested at the Shops.
45. SOM designed the proposed multi-family development in compliance with the Live
units, at least 40% of which will be attainable workforce housing and 60% of which will be luxury
47. On January 9, 2024, the Shops filed an application (the “Application”) with the
Village that sought administrative site plan approval pursuant to the Live Local Act (and
48. The BHS Property qualifies for multifamily residential development under the Act
because the property is located within the Village’s only commercially zoned district, the Business
District, and at least 40 percent of the residential units will be “affordable.” § 166.04151(7)(a),
11
Fla. Stat. (“A municipality must authorize multifamily and mixed-use residential as allowable uses
in any area zoned for commercial, industrial, or mixed use if at least 40 percent of the residential
units in a proposed multifamily rental development are, for a period of at least 30 years, affordable
as defined in s. 420.0004.”).
49. The project’s height and density are consistent with the highest height within one
mile and the greatest density allowed in the Village, which is found in the Village’s Ocean Front
District (“OF”). See §§ 166.04151(7)(c-d), Fla. Stat.; §§ 21-285, 21-293, Village Code.
50. The Ocean Front District, with a generous 300-foot maximum height that extends
the entire eastern border of the Village, is located directly across Collins Avenue, placing the
proposed development in context and compatible with existing development in the Village. This
is demonstrated by a rendering of the project shown below, with the existing Ocean Front high
51. The residential community is designed to complement the Shops’ existing retail
uses and capture a segment of the Village’s workforce as permanent residents (including Village
12
employees and first responders) in a dynamic and high-quality “live, work, and play” environment
that will serve as the foundation for the continued success of the Village.
Village leadership published comments pre-judging the Application, creating their own
exemptions, constraints and limitations found nowhere in the text of the Act, and communicating
their position to a Building Official who is required to make decisions free of political influence.
53. Mayor Freimark, in a classic example of attempted nullification of the law, went
on record with a statement contrary to the plain language of the Act: “I question whether it’s really
the intent of the legislation to impose the Live Local Act on a barrier island where you are limited
with challenges from sea level rise, climate change, and flooding.” 8 The Act does not create an
54. Next, the Village Council placed on their January 16, 2023 agenda a Resolution
“authorizing the Village Manager to expend resources to take all necessary steps to protect the
Village in response to the Bal Harbour Shops’ 2024 submission to further expand its project.” A
copy of the Resolution as introduced and approved by the Village, together with a related Staff
Memorandum (“Staff Memo”) are attached hereto and incorporated herein as Composite Exhibit
B.
55. The Staff Memo concluded that additional funds were needed to “take whatever
steps are necessary to ensure that the Village’s quality of life is protected.” The Staff Memo and
Resolution make clear that the Village leadership considers the construction of workforce housing

56. During the January 16th meeting, the Village Mayor also expressed “anger” at BHS
for submitting a Live Local Application, calling it a “shame” and a “perversion” of the Live Local
Act, and a “circumvention of an executed development agreement that will cause significant
57. Also, during the January 16th meeting, the Village Council unanimously voted to
approve funds to hire lobbyists and lawyers to fight the Application, and also instructed the Village
Attorney to investigate and pursue a moratorium to prohibit future development on the BHS
58. As it relates to the Moratorium, the Village Attorney confirmed “that this is a
moratorium that is focused on your business zoning district. This is the only area in which this
issue will arise. And it is focused on development that is seeking [] to proceed under the live local
act.”
59. The on-the-record statements made by the Village’s elected officials and charter
officers establish that the Village intends to violate its substantive and procedural obligations under
60. The allegations set forth in paragraphs 1 through 59 are hereby incorporated into
this Count.
61. Under well settled Florida law, a writ of mandamus against a governmental agency
is appropriate if the following elements are satisfied: (1) the petitioner has a clear and certain legal
14
right to the performance of a particular duty by a government or a representative of the
government, (2) whose performance of that duty is ministerial and not discretionary, (3) who has
failed to perform despite an adequate request, and (4) who has left the petitioner with no other
law.” Puckett v. Gentry, 577 So. 2d 965, 967 (Fla. 5th DCA 1991); see also Fair v. Davis, 283 So.
2d 377, 378 (Fla. 1st DCA 1973) (holding that “mandamus is a remedy by which administrative
officials or agencies may be coerced to perform ministerial duties which they have a clear legal
duty to perform”). A duty or act is ministerial “when there is no room for the exercise of discretion,
and the performance being required is directed by law.” Shea v. Cochran, 680 So. 2d 628, 629
(Fla. 4th DCA 1996) (quoting Town of Manalapan v. Rechler, 674 So. 2d 789, 790 (Fla. 4th DCA
1996)).
63. As a matter of law, certain types of applications, like those for building permits and
platting, are deemed to be ministerial. “[W]here all of the legal requirements for platting land have
been met there is no residual discretion to refuse plat approval and mandamus will lie. The same
reasoning applies to approval of site plans.” City of Lauderdale Lakes v. Corn, 427 So. 2d 239,
64. Florida’s Live Local Act imposes an unequivocal ministerial duty on the Village
such that “[a] proposed development authorized under this subsection must be administratively
approved and no further action by the governing body of the municipality is required if the
developments in areas zoned for such use and is otherwise consistent with the comprehensive plan,
15
with the exception of provisions establishing allowable densities, height, and land use.” See
65. The Live Local Act provides the Village with no discretion with respect to
66. Unlike many municipalities throughout the State, and as further evidence of its
animus towards affordable housing, the Village elected not to adopt any ordinances or publish any
guidance relating to processing applications submitted pursuant to the Live Local Act.
67. Section 21-31 of the Village Code of Ordinances imposes a duty on the Village’s
68. Pursuant to Section 21-322, the Village Manager or designee shall review site plan
applications.
69. The Application complies with both the letter and the spirit of the Act and, as such,
BHS has a clear legal right to its administrative processing by the Village Manager and Building
Official without further delay or political interference. Upon information and belief such
70. Pursuant to Section 468.604, the Building Official’s review, processing, and
approval of the Application must be free from any interference from any person, including the
Village’s elected officials or administrative officers, such as the Village Manager and/or City
Attorney.
71. To comply with applicable Florida law, the Village must process the Application
pursuant to section 166.033, Fla. Stat., which imposes on the Village, including its Village
Manager and its Building Official, the duty to review and approve, approve with conditions, or
16
72. To the extent that the Village does not agree to process the Application in good
faith, BHS should be allowed to seek damages, including its attorney’s fees incurred in the filing
73. The Village’s Moratorium is in direct contravention of: (i) the Live Local Act’s
complying with the Act, and (ii) the statutorily imposed timeframes for processing development
74. BHS has a clear legal right to have the Application processed and approved by the
Village and BHS has no other legal method for obtaining the relief requested.
75. Pursuant to Section 166.04151(7) of the Florida Statutes, the Village has a clear
legal ministerial duty to administratively process and approve applications complying with the
76. Despite requests for review and approval, through the filing of the Application and
subsequent meetings and correspondence, the Village responded with public meetings demanding
a moratorium and has failed to fulfill its obligations under the Act.
77. Pursuant to Section 166.033 of the Florida Statutes, the Village also has a clear
legal ministerial duty to: approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application for a
WHEREFORE, BHS respectfully requests that this Court enter a writ of mandamus against
the Village, requiring an alternative writ compelling the Village to file an answer as to why the
Court should not issue a writ of mandamus ordering the Village to comply with its ministerial
duties under 166.04151(7) and 166.033, and award any further relief that the Court deems proper,
17
including an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in relation to this action, as
78. The allegations set forth in paragraphs 1 through 59 are hereby incorporated into
this Count.
79. This is an action for declaratory relief pursuant to Chapter 86 of the Florida
Statutes. Under Section 86.021 of the Florida Statutes and well settled Florida law, any person
whose rights, status, or other equitable or legal relations are affected by a statute, municipal
ordinance, or contract may have determined any question of construction or validity arising under
such statute, ordinance, or contract, and obtain a declaration of rights, status, or other equitable or
80. BHS seeks a declaration of its rights under the Live Local Act, the DA, and Sections
81. Declaratory relief is necessary, justified, and timely in that BHS has filed a fully
compliant application under the Live Local Act and the Village, responding to public opposition,
82. The Village maintains that: (i) the existence of the DA precludes BHS from
developing affordable housing under the Live Local Act; (ii) that the Village can deny the
Application based on an alleged and self-defined inconsistency with, or violation of, the DA; (iii)
that the DA contains express restrictions, covenants and/or prohibitions against the Application;
and (iv) that the Moratorium could be utilized to prohibit or deny BHS’s Application.
83. BHS disputes the Village’s assertions relating to the impact of the DA and the

85. Specifically, BHS maintains that the plain language of the DA: (i) does not preclude
BHS from taking advantage of later-adopted statutory development rights, and (ii) does not include
an express or implied waiver of BHS’s right to apply for a new or different development
application.
86. BHS maintains that the plain language of the Development Agreement Statute: (i)
does not preclude BHS from taking advantage of later-adopted statutory development rights, and
(ii) provides the mechanism for enforcement of an alleged violation of the DA that must be

being developed within the Village utilizing the Live Local Act.

90. All necessary elements for the seeking of declaratory relief have been satisfied.
91. Plaintiff is legally entitled to seek declaratory relief through this action. Plaintiff
has a bona fide, actual, and present practical need for a declaration by this Court that neither the
Moratorium, the DA nor the Development Agreement Statute prohibit or restrict the Application.
92. There is a presently ascertainable set of facts and present controversy for this Court
to resolve.
19
93. Plaintiff and Defendant have antagonistic and adverse interests in the subject matter
of this controversy.
94. The antagonistic and adverse interests relative to this controversy are all before this
Court.

obtain a declaration of its rights and the Village’s rights relating to the impact of the DA or the

that the DA does not restrict or prohibit the Application, (b) the Development Agreement Statute
does not restrict or prohibit the Application, and (c) the Moratorium is in direct contravention with,

ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION
I am recommending approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
On January 9, 2024, the Bal Harbour Shops submitted paperwork seeking to
obtain Village approval for an expansion that would include 528 residential units. Their
proposal said that, under the Florida Live Local Act, certain local zoning regulations
could be bypassed in exchange for committing to build 40% of the units as workforce
housing, the remainder being luxury housing. Their proposal also included a 7 -room
upscale luxury hotel. They said that the proposed new towers would rise to
approximately 275 feet, similar to the height of the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort located
directly across the street.
The Village Manager advises that Village resources in excess of $20,000 will need to be
expended for planning, traffic, engineering, legal, and other consultant services to
ensure the Village takes all necessary steps to protect the quality of life, health, safety, and
welfare of its residents.
CONCLUSION
It is in the best interest and welfare of the residents of the Village to authorize the Village
Manager to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the Village’s quality of life is
protected, and therefore, it is recommended that the Village Council adopt this Resolution.
