Proposal

This is a modification/revocation hearing for an existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Vendome Nightclub, an entertainment establishment at 743 Washington Avenue. The hearing was triggered by multiple 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 concluding the hearing and scheduling a follow-up progress report given that no new violations have been issued since December 2025.
