...Warnock, the operator of a business in Miami Beach, Florida, described as Abbott Towers Apartment, was served with a notice of hearing by the appellee, Florida Hotel and Restaurant Commission, advising that he was operating his business in violation of Section 509.242(2), Florida Statutes, F.S.A., by advertising his business as a "motel", when the establishment did not fulfill the requirements for a "motel" classification....
...The appellant petitioned *918 for certiorari to the Circuit Court. A hearing was held and an order was entered denying the petition for certiorari. On appeal the appellant contends that the Commissioner's suspension order was imposed solely for non-compliance with Section 509.242(1)(c), Florida Statutes, F.S.A., in that there was insufficient off-street parking on the premises; and that Section 509.242 is unconstitutional. Section 509.242(1) (c), Florida Statutes, defines a motel as follows: "(c) Motel....
...on the premises of the establishment. Appellant urges that since there was sufficient parking on the streets, it was not necessary to provide "off-street parking" on the premises for each unit. Appellee contends that it has interpreted and construed Section 509.242(1) (c), Florida Statutes, F.S.A., since its enactment in 1957, as requiring off-street parking for each unit to be located on the premises of the establishment....

22 So.2d 804 and Brewer v. Gray, Fla. 1956,
86 So.2d 799. The court held in those cases that an Act, the title of which is insufficient, becomes valid by incorporation in a general revision of the laws, whether the insufficiency has been adjudicated or not. Section
509.242 was originally enacted in 1957 (Chapter 57-824, Laws of Florida) and has been re-enacted and incorporated in the Revised General Statutes of Florida by the 1959, 1961 and 1963 legislatures....
...fy as a motel and it appears to permit an unrestricted discretion in its application by appellee. We are of the opinion, however, that the clause cited is simply surplusage and does not add to nor take away from the validity of the other portions of Section 509.242(1) (c)....

...oms for transient guests, while an apartment hotel provides accommodations with kitchen and housekeeping facilities for more permanent tenants. The State of Florida has enacted legislation which includes a recognition of this distinction. Fla. Stat. § 509.242(1)(a), (b), F.S.A., defines the terms "hotel" and "apartment hotel" as follows: "(a) Hotel....
...The fact that it now regularly utilizes these apartments as hotel rooms does not alter the fact that the change is simply one of business policy, a change that could be reversed at any time. In light of the definitions contained in Ordinance No. 289 and in Fla. Stat. § 509.242(1)(a), (b), F.S.A., and in view of the fact that the applicability of zoning provisions must have some permanence, we think that the determination of whether a given building is an apartment hotel or a hotel must be made upon the basis of the structure rather than upon changes in the building's use....

...Under the DO, the Mayan would be a "resort condominium." Such a use is regulated by chapter 509, Florida Statutes (2007), and defined as "any unit or group of units in a condominium, cooperative, or timeshare plan which is rented more than three times in a calendar year" for less than a month at a time. § 509.242(1)(c), Fla. Stat. (2005). Chapter 509 describes "resort condominiums" as "public lodging establishments," along with hotels and motels. § 509.242(1), Fla....

Since appellee’s zoning code does not define “migrant labor camp” and since appellants are licensed to operate the property by the Florida Hotel and Restaurant Commission as a “transient apartment” pursuant to section 509.242(1)(g), Florida Statutes (1983), we must look to the Florida Statutes to define “migrant labor camp.” Section 509.242(1)(g) under which appellants’ property is licensed as a “transient apartment” provides: (g) Rooming houses, guest houses, cabins....
