Proposal

This is a modification/revocation hearing for an existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for an entertainment establishment at 743 Washington Avenue, operating as Vendome. The hearing was triggered by multiple code violations issued between July and December 2025 related to the operator's failure to provide required advance written notification to the Miami Beach Police Department prior to promoted events. Staff recommends continuing the hearing to monitor ongoing compliance rather than revoking or further modifying the permit at this time.
