February 8, 2012.

*531 Before RAMIREZ, SHEPHERD, and SUAREZ, JJ.

SUAREZ, J.

The City of Miami Beach ("City") appeals a non-final order granting a temporary injunction in favor of the appellees, Kuoni Destination Management, Inc., Ernesto Bertarelli, and Thomas Kramer ("Kuoni"), enjoining the City from closing a private party alleged to have been in violation of section 142-109 of the Miami Beach Code, which prohibits commercial use of residential property. We have jurisdiction. Fla. R.App. P. 9.130(a)(3)(B). We determine the issue moot, decline to address the merits of the order granting the temporary injunction and remand to the circuit court to determine in the action pending below whether a residence rented for the purpose of a private party is in violation of the ordinance.

Kuoni entered into an agreement with Thomas Kramer whereby it paid $40,000.00 for the use of Kramer's residence on Star Island from Saturday, March 5, 2011, until Sunday, March 6, 2011, to serve as the location for a birthday party being produced for a client of Kuoni's with an expected 200 guests in attendance. The City sent a March 4, 2011 letter to Kuoni advising that it would be in violation of the Miami Beach Code, section 142-109,^[1] prohibiting the use of *532 residential property rented for purposes of a third-party host or a commercial event. On March 5, 2011, Kuoni brought an action for injunctive and declaratory relief against the City alleging that the limited commercial use was not barred by section 142-109, and that irreparable injury would result if the party were not allowed to go forward. Kuoni moved for a temporary injunction which the trial court granted on March 5, 2011. The party took place as planned. This non-final appeal ensued from the order granting the temporary injunction against the City, allowing the party to take place. A counterclaim filed by the City for a permanent injunction against Thomas Kramer is pending below.

The standard of review on an order granting a temporary injunction is abuse of discretion. Wise v. Schmidek, 649 So.2d 336 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995) (holding that an appellate court will not disturb trial court's discretion in granting, denying, dissolving, or modifying an injunction unless clear abuse of discretion is demonstrated). If a legal principle is involved, the standard of review is de novo. Lawnwood Med. Ctr., Inc. v. Desai, 54 So.3d 1027 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011).

The requirements for establishing the right to a temporary injunction are: the likelihood of irreparable harm; the unavailability of an adequate remedy at law; the substantial likelihood of success on the merits; the threatened injury to the petitioner outweighs the possible harm to the respondent; and the granting of the temporary injunction will not disserve the public interest. Graham v. Edwards, 472 So.2d 803, 806 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985). A party seeking to restrain enforcement of a municipal ordinance on grounds of irreparable injury must show sufficient facts so clearly that a trial court may determine the extent of injury and grant relief by injunction if justified. Egan v. City of Miami, 130 Fla. 465, 178 So. 132, 133 (1938). We find the present issue of irreparable injury to be moot as the birthday party in question took place as planned. Although we recognize that an appellate court has jurisdiction to address moot questions that are likely to recur,^[2]see Paul Jacquin & Sons, Inc. v. City of Port St. Lucie, 69 So.3d 306 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011), we decline to address the determination made below on the sufficiency of facts supporting the granting of the temporary injunction.

Because the purpose of a temporary injunction is not to resolve disputed issues, but rather to preserve the status quo pending final hearing on the merits, Garcia v. Dumenigo, 46 So.3d 1085 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010); Escudero v. Hasbun, 689 So.2d 1144 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997); Ladner v. Plaza Del Prado Condo. Ass'n, 423 So.2d 927 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982), and since the operative event in this case, the private *533 party, has already taken place,^[3] we decline to address the merits concerning the interpretation of the Miami Beach Code, and we remand to the trial court for consideration of the City's counterclaim, which remains pending below, and for the trial court's determination of whether the City presents a reasonable interpretation of the ordinance in light of the presumption of an ordinance's reasonableness. See City of Ft. Lauderdale v. Canary Enters., 546 So.2d 1114, 1116 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989) (citing City of Miami v. Kayfetz, 92 So.2d 798 (Fla.1957)). On remand, the City is to be given wide latitude in its interpretation of the ordinance if there does not appear to be an abuse of authority violating Kuoni's fundamental rights. See Kayfetz, 92 So.2d at 801.

Remanded with directions.

SHEPHERD, J., concurs.

RAMIREZ, J., (dissenting).

I respectfully dissent. In my view, there is no need to remand the merits of this case to the circuit court to interpret the language of the ordinance. As quoted by the majority, the language of the ordinance, Sect. 142-109(c)(1)a, clearly prohibited the rental of the residence for commercial use, the party. The owner indisputably received $40,000 for the use of his residence, clearly in excess of $100. At the injunction hearing appellees argued that the house-party rental did not violate (1)bdealing with the sale of goods at a single-family homeand thus they were allowed to violate (1)a. The City, in turn, argued that commercial use was prohibited if appellees violated (1)a or (1)b or (1)c, and because appellees indisputably violated (1)a the rental was forbidden.

The trial court said it was confused by the word "or" after each prohibition. The City explained that "or" meant there was a violation if plaintiffs did any of the things in (1)a or (1)b or (1)c. The court said the word "or" should not have been used and should be "blank[ed]" out. The court then ruled that appellees' use was permitted under the ordinanceeven though they indisputably violated (1)a. The trial court additionally said no bond would be required because it had given the parties a hearing.

There is no reason to remand this case to interpret the ordinance again. The trial court deleted the language "or" from the ordinance and substituted the word "and." Statutory construction involves a legal principle, which the majority acknowledges we can review de novo. The trial court clearly rewrote the statute, which is legal error. See Rodriguez v. State, 694 So.2d 96, 97 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) ("`If a statute makes it punishable to do a particular thing specified, `or' another thing, `or' another, one commits the offense who does any one of the things, or any two, or more, or all of them.'") (quoting Edwards v. State, 62 Fla. 40, 56 So. 401, 403 (1911)).

There is nothing moot about this case. The trial court stated in its order that this private party for which the owner received $40,000, is permitted under section 142-109. The owner is certain to use this order to lease his residence again with impunity.

As the supreme court stated in Godwin v. State, 593 So.2d 211, 212 (Fla.1992):

Florida courts recognize at least three instances in which an otherwise moot *534 case will not be dismissed. The first two were stated in Holly v. Auld, 450 So.2d 217, 218 n. 1 (Fla.1984), where we said: "[i]t is well settled that mootness does not destroy an appellate court's jurisdiction . . . when the questions raised are of great public importance or are likely to recur." Third, an otherwise moot case will not be dismissed if collateral legal consequences that affect the rights of a party flow from the issue to be determined. See Keezel v. State, 358 So.2d 247 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978).

(alteration in original). I believe this case presents the quintessential scenario for resolution. A circuit court order has basically rewritten a city ordinance. This owner, and other owners similarly situated, are free to convert their residences into commercial enterprises in the middle of exclusive residential communities. I do not believe we should let that order stand. Furthermore, I do not believe we need to remand the case for us to interpret the ordinance at issue.

Lastly, the trial court erred by failing to require an injunction bond, as mandated by Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.610. For this reason too, the injunction order must be reversed. See SoBeach Rentals, Inc. v. Shelborne Ocean Beach Hotel, 37 So.3d 982, 983 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (injunction bond is required by Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.610); Wigdor v. Wigdor, 917 So.2d 898, 898 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005) (same).

For these reasons, I would reverse the trial court's entry of an injunction in this case.

[1] Sec. 142-109.Commercial use of single-family homes prohibited.

(a) Intent and purpose: The land development regulations restrict residential properties to residential and compatible accessory uses.

[2] The City represented at oral argument that this same factual and procedural scenario would recur.

[3] The City was temporarily enjoined from closing the party, which took place on March 5, 2011.
