City of Miami Beach v. Incorporated

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District

123 So. 2d 754 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1960)

Opinion

No. 59-411.

October 27, 1960. Rehearing Denied November 17, 1960.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, John J. Kehoe, J.

Joseph A. Wanick, Miami Beach, for appellant.

Sibley, Grusmark, Barkdull King, and Stanley B. Richard, Miami Beach, for appellee.


The appellee sought an injunction against the City of Miami Beach to enjoin interference with its valet service operated by it in the Crown Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. The chancellor granted a temporary injunction and, on final hearing, made the injunction permanent.

The appellant contends that a valet service operated with equipment installed in a structure zoned for hotels violates the zoning ordinance by performing dry cleaning services for persons outside the hotel in which the equipment is located. No authorities have been cited for this position by the appellant, and the ordinance itself does not appear to be broad enough to encompass the position which the appellant seems to take on appeal. Since the zoning ordinance — No. 289 — is not broad enough to encompass the prohibition against furnishing valet services beyond the limits of the hotel in which the equipment is located, we conclude that the appellant's remedy is through appropriate legislation if it feels that the situation complained of should be remedied.

Finding as we do that no reversible error has been demonstrated, the decree appealed should be and is hereby affirmed.

Affirmed.

HORTON, C.J., and PEARSON and CARROLL, CHAS., JJ., concur.
