Agenda Item Title
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS,
FLORIDA, OBJECTING TO THE PROPOSAL OF FORMULA ONE (1) RACING AT
THE HARD ROCK STADIUM; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF
REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary
The City of Miami Gardens is the third largest city in Miami-Dade County with approximately
113,000 residents. There are twenty-two public schools in the city, several private and two
universities.
The Hard Rock Stadium is a major landmark in Miami Gardens, Florida and it is surrounded in
close proximity to a plethora of single family homes and some small businesses. Currently,
the stadium is home or host to:
1. The Miami Dolphins of the National Football League
2. University of Miami Hurricanes football team
3. The Orange Bowl Classic (American college football bowl game)
4. Miami Open Tennis Tournament
5. Numerous concerts and events through-out the calendar year
While these variety of events are great, they generate traffic congestions throughout the city
and it is cumbersome to all stakeholders.
What is Formula One (1) and its proposal to the City of Miami Gardens? Formula One (1) is a
motor sport event which takes place over three days, with a series of practice and qualifying
sessions prior to the race day... These cars can race up to 200 miles an hour.
Among other things, Formula One (1) generates mega dollars, and tourism; it is foreseeable
that there will be days of deafening engine noise; a disruption of the regular flow of traffic
and the air quality will be compromised because of engine fumes. These burdensome effects,
were a concern to Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami residents, as such they’ve
rejected the proposal in their communities.
While the race track may not be running through-out the neighborhoods as propositioned to
Page 5 of 51
Agenda Item #11.1
the other two entities. The updated proposal is to utilize lanes on 199th Street will add more
traffic disruptions to the quality of life and enjoyment for all residing and visiting the City of
Miami Gardens.
At the community meeting held on Wednesday, September 18, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. at Norland
Senior High School at 1051 NW 195th Street, Miami Gardens, Florida, over two hundred
residents clearly exhibited their disapproval of Formula One (1) in the neighborhood. They
are not happy with the proposal because the short and long term effects on their health and
property prices are in question.
The residents have the fundamental right to disdain the idea of Formula (One) 1 in their
residential area. This is their home, a place where they live, sleep, breathe fresh air and
work. Formula One (1) is a misfit for any residential area.
Too often corporate America focuses on profit over people’s lives. There is no showing of a
positive impact that Formula One (1) races will benefit the residents and the environment.
Therefore Councilwoman Odom is recommending that City Council support this resolution in
opposition of Formula One (1) Racing in the City of Miami Gardens.
