AT THIS TIME, WE'LL HEAR FROM THE STAFF WITH THE PRESENTATION.

GOOD MORNING, CAROLINE FRANCES ROYER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HOUSING DIVISION.

OKAY. THIS FIRST SLIDE JUST GOES OVER THE HISTORY AND PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS.

CDBG WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE TITLE ONE OF THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974.

THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP VIABLE COMMUNITIES.

VIABLE COMMUNITIES IS ACHIEVED BY PROVIDING DECENT HOUSING, SUITABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES TO LOW AND MODERATE INCOME PERSONS.

SO THIS OBJECTIVE IS ACHIEVED BY TWO MEANS.

THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN PROCESS.

SO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN IS ADMINISTERED WITH THE CDBG FUNDS.

IT'S MANAGED THROUGH THE IDIS SYSTEM.

HUD SYSTEM ONLINE.

IT HELPS GRANTEES TO DETERMINE ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL BE FUNDED IN THE COMING YEARS.

IT DESCRIBES COMMUNITY NEEDS, RESOURCES, PRIORITIES, AND PROPOSED ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN.

SO THE ACTION PLAN IS A SUBSET OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

WE HAVE TO PROVIDE ONE EVERY YEAR WITHIN THAT FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN CYCLE.

IT DESCRIBES SPECIFIC PLANNED USES FOR HUD PROGRAMS AND OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, SUCH AS CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND FAIR HOUSING.

THIS PROGRAM YEAR 2024 IS THE FINAL, FIFTH AND FINAL ACTION PLAN YEAR FOR THIS CURRENT CONSOLIDATED PLAN. SO CDBG HAS A LIST OF ELIGIBLE USES, WHICH INCLUDE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, PUBLIC FACILITIES, REHABILITATION, ACQUISITION OF LAND, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC SERVICES, AND ADMINISTRATION AND PLANNING.

IN OUR CONSOLIDATED PLAN, IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT OUR PRIORITY NEEDS ARE THAT I'LL TOUCH ON IN A LITTLE BIT, ARE PRESERVATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND PUBLIC SERVICES.

SO THE ALLOCATION FOR 2024 IS $492,874.

SO THE PRIORITY NEEDS IDENTIFIED IS PUBLIC SERVICES FOR THIS YEAR.

[00:10:03]

WITH THE FUNDS WE HAVE, WE ESTIMATE THAT ABOUT 100 PERSONS WILL BE ASSISTED.

AND FOR THE PRESERVATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AROUND SIX UNITS WILL BE PRESERVED WITH THE CDBG FUNDS.

HOWEVER, WE LEVERAGE THE SHIP FUNDS AND THE HOME FUNDS WITH CDBG FUNDS TO PRESERVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

SO OVERALL, WE ESTIMATE ABOUT 18 UNITS WILL BE PRESERVED.

SO HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN OF OUR BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR.

FOR ADMINISTRATION, PUBLIC SERVICES, AND THEN FOR THE HOUSING REHAB.

ONE OF THE MAJOR PARTS OF IMPLEMENTING THE CDBG PROGRAM IS CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND PUBLIC HEARING IS REQUIRED BY HUD, A 30 DAY COMMENT PERIOD.

SO TODAY IS OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE WELCOME AND WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION TO HUD.

AGAIN, HERE ARE THE IMPORTANT DATES.

TODAY IS THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING.

THE SECOND WILL BE ON THE JULY 10TH CITY COMMISSION MEETING, AND THE COMMENT PERIOD BEGINS TOMORROW THROUGH JULY 10TH, AND IT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO HUD ON AUGUST 16TH, WELL, PROBABLY BEFORE AUGUST 16TH, BUT THAT'S THE DEADLINE AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

I WAS KIND OF JUST LOOKING AND THINKING OF WHAT QUESTIONS I HAD.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? GOOD MORNING. I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

IN TERMS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ARE THERE SECTIONS IN TAMARAC? IS IT LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD OR IS IT LIKE A SPECIFIC HOUSE? HOW DOES THE CITY IDENTIFY THESE AFFORDABLE HOUSES? WELL, IT'S DONE THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS.

WE ADVERTISE THE PROGRAM, OF COURSE, SO THAT EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY HUD AND ONCE WE GO THROUGH THE APPLICATION, WE HAVE TO DEEM THOSE FOLKS ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE AND IF WE CAN GO BACK TO THE FIRST, SECOND SLIDE THIRD.

WHICH SAYS PRINCIPALLY FOR PERSONS WITH LOW OR MODERATE INCOME, THAT'S UP TO 80%.

THAT'S A REQUIREMENT FROM HUD.

SO IF FOLKS ARE ELIGIBLE AND THE PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE, THEN THEY CAN RECEIVE ASSISTANCE.

BUT HOW DOES A PROPERTY BECOME ELIGIBLE? I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING IS IF I SEE A HOUSE THAT'S FOR SALE, DO I? THEN COME TO THE CITY AND SAY, OKAY, TIME I SAW THIS HOUSE.

MY INCOME MATCHES THE CRITERIA.

AND THEN YOU HELP ME TO GET THAT HOUSE.

WELL, YES, WE DO HAVE A PURCHASE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

CDBG DOES NOT COVER PURCHASE ASSISTANCE.

IT COVERS AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRESERVATION.

SO THAT'S WHY WE DO THE REHAB STRATEGY TO PRESERVE THOSE AFFORDABLE UNITS.

BUT WE DO HAVE THE SHIP FUNDS, THE STATE FUNDS THAT WE USE FOR PURCHASE ASSISTANCE.

SO THE UNITS ARE MARKED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

I'M SORRY, ARE THE EUNUCHS OR THE EUNUCHS MARKED AFFORDABLE HOUSING? FOR EXAMPLE, 3201 SPANISH MASTERS.

IS THAT DESIGNATED AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT? AND IF I'M GOING TO MOVE INTO THAT UNIT, IT YOU WILL HELP ME TO PRESERVE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OF THAT UNIT.

RIGHT. BUT AFFORDABLE IS IN THE SENSE FOR THIS PROGRAM, FOR REHAB.

IF SOMEONE LIVES IN THE HOME AND THEY ARE OF A CERTAIN INCOME, THEN THAT UNIT CAN BE DEEMED AFFORDABLE BECAUSE THEY'RE PAYING A PORTION OF THEIR LOW INCOME STATUS TO THAT HOUSING.

SO IT'S DEEMED AFFORDABLE.

IT'S NOT AFFORDABLE.

WHEN IT'S OVER FOR THIS PROGRAM, WHEN IT'S OVER 80%, IT'S NOT DEEMED ELIGIBLE.

BUT FOR OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS, 120% IS OUR MAXIMUM, WHICH IS THE AMOUNT WE GO UP TO FOR OUR PURCHASE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

SO IT'S MORE OF THE HOUSEHOLD THAT'S DEEMED IN THE AFFORDABLE CATEGORY RATHER THAN THE UNIT.

BUT IF THERE'S AN ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLD IN THE UNIT, THEN WE CAN COUNT IT AS AN AFFORDABLE UNIT.

[00:15:07]

IF I CAN GO A LITTLE FURTHER.

ONE OF THE SLIDES SAID THAT WE HAD SIX.

CAN WE GO TO THE SLIDE THAT SAID THAT WE HAD SIX HOUSEHOLDS THAT WERE GOING TO.

BE ABLE TO HELP.

YES. OKAY.

SO PRESERVE I THINK WHAT SAJEEN IS ASKING IS CLARIFICATION ON ITEM TWO OF THE PRIORITY NEEDS AND GOALS.

WE'RE GOING TO PRESERVE AND DEVELOP AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THE DEVELOPMENT PART, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO HELP SIX HOUSEHOLD UNITS.

ARE YOU ABLE TO GIVE FURTHER CLARIFICATION ON THAT? WELL, OUR STRATEGY DOES NOT REALLY DEVELOP.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT? YEAH. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? ARE WE GOING TO BE BUILDING? ARE WE GOING TO BE DESIGNATING HOMES IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING? NO. OKAY.

NO, IT'S WE ARE REHABBING.

THAT'S THE EXTENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS PROGRAM WE'RE REHABBING AND WE CAN ONLY REHAB FOLKS THAT APPLY TO THE PROGRAM.

I UNDERSTAND, AND THEN THEY ARE DEEMED ELIGIBLE.

SO THE ELIGIBILITY IS MORE ON THE APPLICANT, THE HOMEOWNER RATHER THAN THE ACTUAL UNIT.

GOTCHA. DOES THAT HELP CLARIFY YOUR QUESTION? WELL, YEAH, SOMEWHAT, I HOPE SO.

OKAY. MY QUESTION WAS IN REGARDS TO THE PUBLIC SERVICES.

THERE WAS AN ITEM, A SLIDE HERE THAT SPOKE ABOUT PUBLIC SERVICES AND IT SPECIFICALLY SPOKE AND HIGHLIGHTED THE AREAS OF NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY SENIORS BEING ONE OF THEM.

DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT TYPE OF PROGRAMS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AVAILABLE TO SENIORS AS A RESULT OF THIS GRANT? YES. SO WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH MEALS ON WHEELS, SOUTH FLORIDA, WHERE WE PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS MEALS DELIVERED TO SENIORS IN TAMARAC.

WE'VE HAD THAT RELATIONSHIP NOW FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS, AND WE PLAN TO CONTINUE THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME OF THESE FUNDS AND AT THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE'RE HAVING IF PERSONS ARE INTERESTED IN GIVING SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO USE THAT FUNDS, THAT WILL BE THE PLACE TO DO SO.

OH, YES, WE WILL ALSO INCLUDE THAT IN OUR COMMENT AREA FOR SUBMISSION TO HUD.

THE PUBLIC HEARING TODAY IS THAT THIS HEARING NOW THIS SESSION NOW.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO HOW TO SUGGEST THIS.

I DO HAVE AN IDEA AND A PROGRAM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO, AND I PLAN TO SUBMIT TO THE CITY.

IT'S NOT FULLY DEVELOPED JUST YET.

WHAT I'LL DO IS AT THE NEXT HEARING, I'LL BRING IT.

I'LL KIND OF FORMULATE IT AND BRING IT.

BUT I HAVE AN IDEA THAT I THINK WILL HELP SOME SENIORS IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC USING SOME OF THESE FUNDS.

OKAY. SO IS THAT APPROPRIATE TO BRING IT TO THE NEXT HEARING OR SHOULD I BRING IT UP TODAY? I THINK THE NEXT HEARING IS AT THE CITY COMMISSION MEETING.

I DON'T KNOW, DOES IT COME BACK HERE? NO, IT GOES TO THE CITY COMMISSION ON JULY 10TH.

I'LL BRING IT UP AND I'LL KIND OF FLUSH IT OUT, AND I'LL BRING IT UP AT THE JULY 10TH MEETING.

IT'S MORE ONTHE CLARIFICATION, BECAUSE I DO HAVE AN IDEA THAT I WANTED TO BRING TO THE CITY.

OKAY, AND JUST ANOTHER REMINDER THIS YEAR, THIS 2024 YEAR IS THE LAST ACTION PLAN YEAR FOR THE CURRENT CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

WE'RE RESTRICTED TO THE ITEMS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED, THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

SO OUR NEW CONSOLIDATED PLAN WILL BE COMING BEFORE YOU NEXT YEAR.

OH, OKAY.

RIGHT AND THAT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE IF THE STRATEGY, WHATEVER YOUR IDEA MIGHT BE, IT'S NOT CONTAINED IN THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

ULTIMATELY WE WOULD HAVE TO AMEND THAT TO REFLECT IT.

OKAY. SO IF IT'S A NEW IDEA, THAT WOULD BE THE BEST TIME FOR YOU TO BRING IT UP FOR CONSIDERATION AND FOR INCLUSION INCLUSION IN THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

AWESOME. THANK YOU.

GOOD MORNING. I HAD A QUESTION RELATED TO SECTION, I GUESS ONE A OF THE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR THE LOW MODERATE INCOME AND SPECIAL NEEDS.

IT SAYS 73,930 I BELIEVE IS WHAT IT WAS ALLOCATED TO THAT SECTION.

IS THAT ARE THOSE FUNDS DIVIDED OR IS IT DEEMED, AS IN WHAT TAMARAC PERCEIVES AS PRIORITY FOR THOSE SERVICES? WELL, PUBLIC SERVICES BY REGULATION IS CAPPED AT 15%.

SO THAT 73,000 IS THE 15% OF THE ALLOCATION WE USUALLY USE THE MAXIMUM AND HOW IS THAT DISTRIBUTED.

[00:20:04]

DO YOU KNOW? SO IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT AMOUNT GOES TO PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITIES.

WHAT AMOUNT GOES TO SPECIAL NEEDS.

WHAT AMOUNT TO HEALTH CARE? DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORKS? WHAT PUBLIC SERVICE IS THE UMBRELLA BUT THE THE FOCUS? I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR, OUR RECIPIENTS OF THOSE FUNDS IS MEALS ON WHEELS.

SENIORS ARE DESIGNATED SPECIAL NEEDS.

SO THAT'S COVERED THERE.

WE ALSO ASSIST VOICES FOR CHILDREN OF BROWARD WHERE THEY ASSIST YOUTH THAT ARE IN THE COURT SYSTEM.

THAT'S ALSO A SPECIAL NEED AND ALSO THIS YEAR, THE CITY FUNDED THE SMART HOME PROTECTION. I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT NAME.

WE GAVE RING CAMERAS TO TO TO RESIDENTS AS A MEANS OF SECURITY FOR THEIR HOME.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THOSE ARE THE THREE THAT ARE FUNDED THIS CURRENT YEAR.

SO NEXT YEAR WE'LL CONTINUE TO SERVE THE SENIORS, THE YOUTH AND ANY ORGANIZATION THAT HAS A VIABLE PROPOSAL.

SO GENERALLY, THE CDBG GRANTS FOR TAMARAC ARE ROLLED OUT IN JUNE BECAUSE I KNOW EVERY CITY HAS THEM ROLLED OUT AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

OR IS IT NORMALLY DEPENDING ON WHEN THE FUNDING IS RELEASED FOR YOU GUYS? BUT ALL ACTION PLANS ARE DUE TO HUD BY AUGUST 16TH? THAT'S BY REGULATION.

WE ARE A MEMBER OF THE HOME CONSORTIUM WITH BROWARD COUNTY, AND ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT PROVIDE THOSE FUNDS FOR US, ONCE WE PUT OUR ACTION PLAN IN THE HUD SYSTEM ONLINE, BROWARD COUNTY ACTUALLY SUBMITS IT BECAUSE WE'RE TIED TOGETHER, BECAUSE WE'RE A PART OF THE CONSORTIUM, THE HOME CONSORTIUM, WHERE WE GET THOSE HOME FUNDS.

SO BROWARD COUNTY, THEY USUALLY REQUIRE US TO SUBMIT THE PLAN IN THE SYSTEM.

WELL, NOT SUBMIT, BUT ENTER IT INTO THE SYSTEM BY JULY 31ST AND THEN ONCE ALL OF THE CONSORTIUM MEMBERS HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HUD SYSTEM, THEN BROWARD COUNTY SUBMITS IT TO HUD BY THE 16TH.

SO THAT DATE IS REGULATORY AWESOME.

THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? YEAH, WITH THE SECTION EIGHT CLIENTS ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PORTION OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

NO, THAT'S A SEPARATE THING.

NO. SECTION EIGHT IS DONE THROUGH THE HOUSING AUTHORITY.

THOSE ARE DIFFERENT FUNDS.

OKAY. NOW, YOU MENTIONED EARLIER IN YOUR PRESENTATION THAT YOU WENT FROM THE SIX UNITS THAT WOULD BE SEPARATED TO 18, THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY.

YES, BECAUSE OUR REHAB PROGRAM HAS SEVERAL FUNDS, CDBG IS JUST ONE OF THE FUNDS.

WE ALSO USE THE SHIP FUNDS THAT'S FROM THE STATE, AND WE ALSO USE HOME FUNDS THAT WE GET FROM THROUGH THE COUNTY FROM HUD AS A MEMBER OF THE HOME CONSORTIUM. SO ALL OF THOSE FUNDS WE CAN LEVERAGE TO ASSIST MORE UNITS.

SO WITH THE FUNDS WE HAVE THIS YEAR, WITH THIS ALLOCATION OF THE 320 PLUS THE HOME FUNDS, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 154,000, AND THE SHIP FUNDS, WHICH IS AROUND 500,000, THEN WE CAN ASSIST WITH APPROXIMATELY 18 BASED ON OUR MAXIMUM AWARD AMOUNT.

FOR EACH UNIT AND UNDER THE PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION.

IS THERE A SPECIAL TEAM THAT IS ASSIGNED TO TAKE CARE AND HANDLE THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM, OR HOW DO YOU GET THE PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION? PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION GOES TOWARDS PAYING SALARIES FOR CERTAIN TEAM MEMBERS.

IT ALSO PAYS FOR TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT.

IT PAYS FOR SUPPLIES LIKE THE CASE FILES, FOLDERS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

JUST ANY ITEM THAT GOES TOWARDS ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM.

SO IS THERE A TEAM THAT IS ASSIGNED FOR THIS SPECIFICALLY, OR ARE YOU JUST USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE FOR GENERAL, THE HOUSING TEAM, MYSELF AND THREE, THREE OTHER PERSONS? OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? ALL RIGHT. I DID SKIP ONE STEP.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR THAT, AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE IS.

SO THEN NOW THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED FOR THAT.

[00:25:03]

WE'LL NOW TAKE A VOTE.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THE ITEM TO THE CITY COMMISSION? I'M CALLING FOR A MOTION.

DOES ANYONE HAVE. YES, I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND.

I BELIEVE THAT, DAVID.

SECOND. FIRST.

OH, ONE MORE THING.

WE DO HAVE A FULL QUORUM.

SO ERIC NAGY AND VIOLA ARE ALTERNATES AND THEY WILL NOT VOTE IN THIS ITEM.

MEMBERS WILL BE JACQUES, DAVID LEVIN, MYSELF, SAJEEN AND ALEXANDRA.

OKAY.

MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

PASSED 5 TO 0.

WONDERFUL. THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 8B.

[7.b TO2549 - An ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, terminating “Notice to the Public of a Pending Ordinance” by amending Chapter 10, Article 2, of the Land Development Code of the City of Tamarac, Florida, entitled “Zoning Districts”, by creating Section 10-2.8, entitled “Qualified Mixed-Use Development pursuant to the Live Local Act of 2023," establishing procedures and regulations to implement Section 166.04151(7), Florida Statutes, as created by Chapter 2023-17, Laws of Florida, and as amended by Senate Bill 328, to provide for development regulations and administrative review of certain affordable housing projects pursuant to state law, providing for repealer; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

TEMPORARY ORDER 2549.

THE ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA.

TERMINATING THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC NOTICE OF A PUBLIC PENDING ORDINANCE BY AMENDING CHAPTER 10, ARTICLE 2, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA, ENTITLED ZONING DISTRICTS BY CREATING SECTION 10-2.8 ENTITLED QUALIFIED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO THE LIVE LOCAL ACT OF 2023. ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS TO IMPLEMENT SECTION 166.04151, SUBSECTION SEVEN.

FLORIDA SENATE BILL 328 TO PROVIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW FOR CERTAIN AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS PURSUANT TO STATE LAW.

PROVIDING FOR REPEALER.

PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WE WILL NOW HEAR FROM STAFF WITH THE PRESENTATION.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR.

GOOD MORNING, PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS.

I AM MAHAM MANSOOR, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

I'M GOING TO REPEAT MOST OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID.

SO RIGHT, WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IS A TEMPORARY ORDINANCE 2549.

IT'S A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION ADDING SECTION TEN DASH 2.8 ENTITLED QUALIFIED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO THE LIVE LOCAL ACT OF 2023.

IT'S AN ORDINANCE TERMINATING NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PENDING ORDINANCE BY AMENDING CHAPTER TEN, ARTICLE TWO OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ENTITLED ZONING DISTRICTS BY CREATING SECTION 10-2.8 ENTITLED QUALIFIED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO THE LIVE LOCAL ACT OF 2023.

ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS TO IMPLEMENT SECTION 166 .041517 FLORIDA STATUTES AS CREATED BY CHAPTER 2023-717 LAWS OF FLORIDA AND AS AMENDED BY SENATE BILL 328 TO PROVIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT, REGULATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW OF CERTAIN AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS PURSUANT TO STATE LAW.

WE HAVE CHAPTER 10 THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

ARTICLE TWO IS ZONING DISTRICTS.

WE ARE AGAIN, IT ENDS AT 10-2.7.

WE ARE ADDING 10- 2.8 QUALIFIED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO THE LOCAL ACT REFERRED TO FROM NOW ON AS QMD.

SO I DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT THE WHOLE LONG SENTENCE.

I PROVIDE YOU A TIMELINE.

THEN WE GO OVER A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT THE ORIGINAL LIVE LOCAL ACT STIPULATED AND THE UPDATE WITH SENATE BILL 328 ON JULY 1ST, 2023. SENATE BILL 102 WAS ADOPTED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA ON SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2023.

THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF THE PENDING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW STAFF SIX MONTHS TO FULLY REVIEW NEW LAW AND ESTABLISH PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS TO IMPLEMENT IT. WHEN STAFF WAS HALFWAY THROUGH THE DRAFTING OF THE NEW ORDINANCE, CONDUCTING RESEARCH AND REVIEWING HOW OTHER FLORIDA CITIES ADDRESS THE LOCAL ACT IN THEIR OWN CODES. SENATE BILL 328 WAS INTRODUCED BY SENATOR ALEXIS CALATAYUD.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M PRONOUNCING THE NAME CORRECTLY ON JANUARY 4TH, 2024 BRINGING IN CHANGES TO THE LOCAL ACT SUCH AS IMPROVEMENTS.

CLARIFICATIONS, SINCE MANY QUESTIONS ARISING FROM THE ORIGINAL ACT WERE LEFT UNANSWERED.

ACCORDINGLY, ON MAY 13TH, 2024, THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED AN EXTENSION TO THE NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC OF THE PENDING ORDINANCE FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS, WHICH IS DUE TO EXPIRE ON SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2024, TO GIVE STAFF ADDITIONAL TIME TO ADDRESS THE CHANGES.

SENATE BILL 328 WENT THROUGH SEVEN AMENDMENTS BEFORE IT WAS FINALLY SIGNED INTO LAW ON MAY 16TH, 2024 AND THAT'S WHY WE JUST KEPT WAITING UNTIL IT'S SIGNED

[00:30:06]

INTO LAW, BECAUSE THEY KEPT CHANGING SOME OF THE PROVISIONS.

STATE BILL ONE, SENATE BILL 102, LIVE LOCAL ACT CITED AS THE LIVE LOCAL ACT, SEEKS TO INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN FLORIDA.

THE LAW OFFERS ORIGINAL INITIATIVES, INCENTIVES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING HIGH LEVEL FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

DOES THAT THROUGH FUNDING AND TAX CREDIT, TAX INCENTIVES, LAND USE AND ROLE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

I HAVE IT IN GREEN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT OUR ORDINANCE IS ABOUT PUBLICLY OWNED LAND, ENCOURAGING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ADOPT BEST PRACTICES AND STATE HOUSING STRATEGY.

STATE GUIDANCE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICY AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.

SENATE BILL 328, CALLED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ALSO REFERRED TO AS A GLITCH BILL, WAS INTRODUCED, HAS INTRODUCED SEVERAL CHANGES.

THOSE ARE RELATED TO ZONING.

IN PARTICULAR ARE MAXIMUM FAR/FLR PREEMPTIONS, FLOOR AREA RATIO AND FLOOR LOT RATIO.

HEIGHT PROTECTION FOR SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS.

DEVELOPMENT BONUSES ARE TO BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED.

TRANSIT ORIENTED PARKING PREEMPTIONS.

MAXIMUM UNIT DENSITY.

LIVE LOCAL ACT NOT ALLOWED IN ALL AIRPORT ZONES OR IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, IN NOISE ZONE, IN THE AIRPORTS OR NEAR MILITARY INSTALLATIONS, AND THEN FINALLY CONFORMITY AND GRANDFATHERING.

THESE ASPECTS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL BILL, SO THEY.

THE SENATE BILL 328 CAME TO ADDRESS THAT.

WE'RE HERE TODAY BASICALLY TO GO OVER THIS AND HOW THE CITY ADOPTED, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE, HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK WITH IT.

SO THE ACT REQUIRES THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND AGAIN, I'M HERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS RELATED TO PLANNING AND ZONING RATHER THAN THE OTHER ASPECTS OF THE ACT REQUIRES THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MUST APPROVE AFFORDABLE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL LAND USES, INCLUDING MIXED USE PROJECTS IN AREAS THAT ARE ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL OR MIXED USE.

IF THE PROJECT INCLUDES AT LEAST 40% OF ITS RESIDENTIAL UNITS AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS.

SO THESE ARE THE CONDITIONS THAT, IF LOCAL ACT STIPULATED FOR MIXED USE PROJECTS, AT LEAST 65% OF THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE MUST BE USED FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.

AGAIN, I HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WILL APPLY TO TAMARAC.

IT HAS TO BE A MIXED USE AND WE'LL GET TO THAT IN A LITTLE WHILE.

FOLLOW STREAMLINED AND PUBLISHED PROCEDURES ONLINE TO APPROVE QMDA.

SO WE HAVE EVENTUALLY IN JULY TO HAVE ON THE WEBSITE AN EASY TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES FOR A DEVELOPER OR FOR ANY PARTY INTERESTED IN CONSTRUCTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL ACT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IT, WE HAVE TO BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT AND AND PUBLISH THAT ONLINE MAY NOT RESTRICT THE UNIT DENSITY OF PROPOSED AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT BELOW THE HIGHEST ALLOWED DENSITY IN THE JURISDICTION, WHICH IN THE CASE OF TAMARACK, IS 50 DWELLING UNIT PER ACRE, MAY NOT RESTRICT THE BUILDING HEIGHT OF THE QMDA BELOW THE HIGHEST ALLOWED HEIGHT FOR A COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATED WITHIN IN THE CITY, WITHIN ONE MILE OF THE MDA OR THREE STORIES, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.

IN THE CASE OF TAMARAC IS 70FT.

MAY NOT REQUIRE QMDA TO OBTAIN A REZONING, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, SPECIAL EXCEPTION VARIANCE, OR OTHER PUBLIC HEARING APPROVAL FOR THE LAND USES, DENSITY AND BUILDING HEIGHT ALLOWED IN QMDA.

SO IF A QUALIFIED PROJECT COMES TO STAFF, IF IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND IT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ORDINANCE WE ARE PROPOSING NOW, IT DOESN'T COME TO YOU OR THE CITY COMMISSION.

IT HAS TO BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED.

NO MORE MUST INSTEAD BE INITIALLY APPROVED IF THEY SATISFY ALL OTHER LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR MULTIFAMILY.

DEVELOPMENTS IN AREAS ZONED FOR SUCH USE AND OTHERWISE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

JUST AGAIN, IF IT MEETS ALL THE CRITERIA, IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A CONFLICT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE CANNOT ADDRESS THE DENSITY OR THE HEIGHT OR THE LAND USE.

SO IF IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS, IT JUST GO.

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW, BUILDING PERMIT.

NO MORE PUBLIC HEARING.

MAY STILL ENFORCE ALL OTHER LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SETBACKS AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS, BUILDING INTENSITY, FA OR FLR LOT COVERAGE OVER THE SPACE WE STILL HAVE AND THAT'S WHY WE DRAFTED THOSE STIPULATIONS WITHIN THE ORDINANCE.

MUST CONSIDER USING PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

IF THE QMDA IS LOCATED WITHIN ONE HALF MILE OF A MAJOR TRANSIT STOP ACCESSIBLE TO THE PROPOSED SITE.

SO IF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS WITHIN HALF A MILE OF A TRANSIT STOP, WE HAVE TO PROVIDE A 5% ADDITIONAL

[00:35:08]

REDUCTION IN PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

IF A MUNICIPALITY IF AND AT CERTAIN CASES WE HAVE TO, THEY CAN GET AWAY WITHOUT PARKING.

THEY CAN DO THE OFF STREET PARKING AND SOMEWHERE ELSE.

IF A MUNICIPALITY HAS LESS THAN 20% OF ITS TOTAL LAND DESIGNATED FOR COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL USE, ONLY MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL IS ALLOWED AND THAT IS THE CASE OF TAMARAC.

AND THIS SLIDE BASICALLY SHOWS AGAIN THIS SECTION.

IF A CITY HAS LESS THAN 20% OF TOTAL LAND USE DESIGNATED FOR COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL ONLY, MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL IS ALLOWED.

SO THE TOTAL AREA OF COMMERCIAL AND OR INDUSTRIAL LAND USE IS IN MILLIONS OF SQUARE FEET.

THE TOTAL AREA OF ALL LAND IN THE CITY IS.

THIS DIVIDED BY THAT EQUALS 0.119.

SO BASICALLY THE CITY OF TAMARAC HAD 12% CLOSE TO 12% OF ITS LAND WITHIN THE [INAUDIBLE] COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL.

AND AS DOES COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL LAND USES WERE ONLY MIXED USE IS LESS THAN 20%, SO ONLY MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL IS ALLOWED.

SO ANY PROJECT THAT WILL COME TO THE CITY AS A QUALIFIED PROJECT FOR PER TO LIVE LOCAL ACT HAS TO HAVE AN ELEMENT OF MIXED USE.

IT CANNOT BE ONLY RESIDENTIAL, IT HAS TO BE RETAIL, COMMERCIAL, WHATEVER AND THEN RESIDENTIAL.

IN TAMARAC, QMDA'S ARE ENTITLED TO BUILD MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL OR MIXED USE ZONES WITHOUT ZONING OR LAND DEVELOPMENT CHANGE.

THE HIGH DENSITY ALLOWED ON ANY LAND IN THE CITY WHERE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS ALLOWED IS 50 DWELLING UNIT PER ACRE.

CURRENTLY, IF IT CHANGES, THAT CHANGES TO HIGHEST CURRENTLY ALLOWED HEIGHT FOR COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN ONE MILE OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF OR THREE STORIES, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.

CURRENTLY IS 70FT.

WHAT'S STILL MISSING AFTER THE GLITCH BILL CAME AGAIN.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ZONING, WE'RE STILL AND PLANNING, AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT IT AS A CITY.

ENSURING COMMITMENTS TO AFFORDABILITY.

HOW THE ACT DOES NOT MENTION DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY PROVISION OF ENSURING THAT THE DEVELOPER IS TIED TO 30 YEARS OF AFFORDABILITY SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS.

THERE IS NO MENTION OF HOW THE SITE PLAN SHOULD BE REGULATED.

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PROCESS, IT SAYS.

IT ONLY SAYS SIMPLY THAT IT HAS TO BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PROCESS.

SO WE HAVE TO CREATE THE PROCESS COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

AGAIN, WE CANNOT TOUCH LAND USE.

WE CANNOT TOUCH HEIGHT, WE CANNOT TOUCH DENSITY.

BUT WE HAVE OTHER ASPECTS TO CONTROL SUCH AS SETBACKS AND LANDSCAPING, ETC.

HOW WILL THE CITY ENSURE THE DEVELOPMENT? AGAIN, WHEN I SAID THAT IT HAS TO BE BEFORE I GO OVER THE NEW ADDED SECTION 10-2.8, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE ACT REQUIRES THAT A MINIMUM OF 65% OF THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE QMDA SHALL BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE AND NON AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES, LEAVING 35% OF THE NON-RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT.

SO THE ACT SAY AT LEAST 65% HAS TO BE IN A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT HAS TO BE DEDICATED TO HOUSING OR RESIDENTIAL.

SORRY OF THIS 40% HAS TO BE AFFORDABLE OF THE 65% IF WE HAVE A THEORY.

THEORETICALLY, IF WE HAVE 1000 FOOT IS MUCH MORE THAN 1000 FOOT, 650FT² MUST BE A RESIDENTIAL.

OF THE 650FT² THAT ARE RESIDENTIAL, 40% MUST BE AFFORDABLE RENTAL UNITS.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE ACT STIPULATES.

THE CITY WENT A STEP BEYOND THE ACT'S REQUIREMENTS, ALLOWING QMDA UP TO 70% OF AFFORDABLE AND NON AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.

LOWERING THE MINIMUM NONRESIDENTIAL COMPONENT FROM 35 TO 30% IS MORE MEANINGFUL AND APPROPRIATE, AND WILL STILL SUPPORT REQUIRED SERVICES WHILE HELPING MAINTAIN RESIDENTIAL AFFORDABILITY FOR CITY RESIDENTS.

AS AN EXAMPLE, I JUST PUT THAT UP THERE A PROJECT CONSISTING OF A THREE STORY BUILDING WITH THE GROUND FLOOR DEDICATED TO NON RESIDENTIAL AND THE TWO REMAINING FLOORS FOR RESIDENTIAL IS MUCH SIMPLER TO DESIGN AND MORE PRACTICAL.

IF WE GO WITH THIS 6535, IT'S REALLY HARD FOR DEVELOPERS TO USE THE LIVE LOCAL ACT AS IT IS, IT'S RESTRICTIVE WITH THAT SENSE.

SO WE PROVIDED IT.

WE LOWERED THE REQUIRED NONRESIDENTIAL LIMIT.

WE ALLOW IT TO BE 30%, SO ARE GIVING THE DEVELOPER UP TO 7,070% RATHER THAN 65%.

[00:40:12]

THE PURPOSE OF THE NEW SECTION 10-2.8 IS THEN TO ENSURE THAT THE CITY IS IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE LIVE LOCAL ACT.

THAT'S THE FIRST ONE. STATE LAW AND TO FILL IN THE GAPS THAT THE ACT OMITTED, SUCH AS SPECIFYING THE ZONING DISTRICTS WHERE MDAS ARE PERMITTED, ADDRESSING SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS, APPLICATION FEES, ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PROCESS AND APPEALS, AND FINALLY PROVIDING LAND USE REGULATIONS THAT WILL ENSURE THE 40% AFFORDABLE RENTAL UNITS REMAIN SO FOR 30 YEARS, AND THAT THESE UNITS ARE IN NO WAY INFERIOR TO THE 60% NON AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS IN THE REST OF THE MDA.

AGAIN, THE ACT DID NOT SAY THAT THEY SHOULD BE THE SAME.

IT SAID PERCENTAGES, BUT YOU CAN PER THE ACT, THE AFFORDABLE UNITS COULD BE OF A LOWER STANDARD OF BUILDING FOR INSTANCE AND WITH THIS ORDINANCE, WE ARE ENSURING THAT NO, THERE ARE THE SAME.

THEY ARE NOT LESS.

THEY DON'T HAVE LESS QUALITY.

THEY DON'T HAVE THE FURNISHINGS ARE THE SAME.

THE FIXTURES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.

THE COLORS, THE PAINT. EVERYTHING IS LIKE THE NON AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS.

SO THESE ARE THE MAIN FIVE SUBSECTIONS.

INTENT AND PURPOSE OF EXPIRATION.

DEFINITIONS. APPLICABILITY.

ZONING. DISTRICT PERMITTING AND CONFLICTS.

SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS.

APPLICATION AND FEES.

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PROCESS APPEALS.

LAND DEVELOPMENT. REGULATION OF THE QMDA.

IN THE PACKET WE HAVE THE ENTIRE TEXT AND I HAVE IT HERE.

BUT IT YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER IT AND READ IT COMPLETELY.

BUT YOU SEE THAT WE JUST STIPULATE ALL OF THIS IS ADDED.

EVERYTHING UNDERLINED IS NOT IN OUR CODE AND THIS IS ALL BRAND NEW.

SO WE ARE ADDING THIS BY THE WAY, WHEN WE DID THIS, WHEN STAFF DID THE RESEARCH, WE LOOKED AT OTHER CITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY AND IN FLORIDA THAT HAD ALREADY ADOPTED ONE OF THE EARLIEST CITIES TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE, BOCA RATON, FOR INSTANCE.

BUT SINCE THEN, MANY OTHER OR NOT MANY FEW OTHER CITIES HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED THEIR ORDINANCES.

WE TOOK WHAT'S WHAT SUITS THE CITY OF TAMARAC BEST.

WE CRAFTED OUR OWN INTERPRETATION OR OUR OWN IMPLEMENTATION METHOD THAT GOES WITH WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY IN OUR CODE.

SO WE DID NOT WANT TO REINVENT THE WHEEL.

WE JUST APPLIED IT WITH THE MINIMAL INTERFERENCE WITH WHAT ALREADY HAVE IN THE CODE.

SO THIS WE DID NOT WANT TO CREATE ANY CONFLICT WITH THE EXISTING CODE, BASICALLY WHILE STILL MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS AND WE LISTED DEFINITIONS THAT ONE OF THE DEFINITIONS, FOR INSTANCE WE PUT HERE IS BECAUSE THE DEFINITION OF ADJACENT PER THE ACT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE DEFINITION OF ADJACENT WE HAVE IN OUR CITY CODE. SO FOR CLARIFICATION, WE ADDED WHAT ADJACENT MEANS IN THIS INSTANCE AND THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR A CASE THAT CAME UP AS ONE OF THE SEVEN AMENDMENTS TO THE SENATE BILL 103 28 SORRY, IS THAT THERE'S A PROVISION THAT IF A DEVELOPMENT IS ADJACENT ON TWO SIDES TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL THAT ARE 25 HOUSES OR MORE, THEN THE LIVE LOCAL ACT DOES NOT APPLY. SO THIS IS VERY SPECIFIC IN OUR DEFINITION.

THE CODE THAT [INAUDIBLE] THERE COULD BE A ROAD IN BETWEEN THIS PARCEL AND WHERE THE SINGLE FAMILY AND THE ACT IS SAY ADJACENT TOUCHING ACTUALLY ON ON TWO SIDES. SO WE ADDED THE DEFINITION.

APPLICABLE, AND THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS FOR ALL OF US TO KNOW WHERE THESE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO COME AND QMDA SHALL BE PERMITTED.

AND THE REGULATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO QMDA ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING ZONING DISTRICTS OF THE CITY.

I ONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL I TWO INDUSTRIAL, MUN MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD, MUC MIXED USE CORRIDOR.

MUG, MIXED USE GENERAL NC NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.

THESE ARE THE ONLY ZONING DISTRICTS IN THE CITY WHERE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THE LIVE LOCAL ACT PROJECTS COULD COME AND THIS IS THE, THESE ARE THE ONLY ZONING DISTRICTS WHERE THEY COME, AND THEY DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE PLANNING BOARD.

IF THEY QUALIFY, THEY DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

WE ADDED SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS, APPLICATION AND FEES, ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PROCESS AND APPEALS.

WE CRAFTED IT BASED ON OUR MAJOR SITE PLAN APPLICATION BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR SITE PLAN.

SO WE AGAIN, WE DID NOT DISTURB OUR EXISTING CODE.

WE BORROWED FROM OUR EXISTING CODE ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO STAFF WILL PROCESS THIS.

WE WILL GO THROUGH THE EXACT SAME PROCEDURE AS WE WILL COLLECT FEES LIKE IT'S A SITE PLAN.

BECAUSE AGAIN WE THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE IN A CERTAIN METHODOLOGY AND THIS WORK WE'RE GOING TO PUBLISH ON THE WEBSITE.

WE ARE GOING TO TREAT IT AS A MAJOR SITE PLAN.

OKAY. EXCEPT AT THE END WHEN THEY MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, IT'S APPROVED AND IT GOES TO THE BUILDING PERMIT.

[00:45:02]

THESE ARE MORE STIPULATIONS ON THE HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADMINISTER THE PROJECT AND THEN FINALLY WE HAVE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

AND IN THIS WE HAVE SOME REQUIREMENTS THAT AGAIN ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF OUR CODE.

BUT HERE WE ADDED THE ELEMENT OF ENSURING THAT THESE UNITS OR THE HOUSING PROPORTION, THE 40% OF THE RESIDENTIAL ELEMENT, REMAINS AFFORDABLE FOR 30 YEARS.

THIS IS WHAT HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT AND WE DIVIDED HOW NOT WE DIVIDED WE.

WE SPECIFIED HOW THE AREA IS CALCULATED.

FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU HAVE A LOBBY THAT SERVES BOTH THE COMMERCIAL OR RETAIL OR WHATEVER IS THE OTHER, USE THE NONRESIDENTIAL USE AND THE RESIDENTIAL USES, IT WILL BE PROPORTIONALLY APPOINTED TO BOTH OKAY.

IF IT'S 20% NON-RESIDENTIAL, SO 20% OF THAT LOBBY WILL BE FOR THE NON-RESIDENTIAL, 80% FOR THE RESIDENTIAL AND THIS WAY WE CAN CALCULATE IN THE END THAT WE ARE GIVEN THE DEVELOPER UP TO IN OUR CODE TO 70% TO DO NON-RESIDENTIAL.

A VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE MIXING OF THE UNITS SHOULD BE NON AFFORDABLE AND AFFORDABLE SHOULD BE THE SAME.

SO IF THE DEVELOPER FOR INSTANCE HAVE 50% TWO BEDROOM AND JUST MAKE IT SIMPLE 50% ONE BEDROOM APARTMENTS NON AFFORDABLE, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO THE 50.

THE REMAINING 40% OF AFFORDABLE ALL THREE BEDROOM APARTMENT OR ONE BEDROOM.

THEY HAVE TO MATCH THE AND THIS WAY WE ENSURE THAT WHATEVER MAKES SENSE FOR THE DEVELOPER MAKES SENSE FOR THE RESIDENT, BECAUSE IN THE END, THEY'RE DOING IT AS AN OPTIMAL CHOICE. AND THIS WAY THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PORTION WILL ALSO BE THE OPTIMAL COMBINATION OF AFFORDABLE UNITS.

AFFORDABLE DWELLING UNITS SHALL BE DEVELOPED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH OR PRIOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARKET RATE UNITS.

AGAIN, THE WORKCANNOT COME AND BUILD ALL THE NON AFFORDABLE AND IN THE END COMES AND BUILD AFFORDABLE.

THEY HAVE TO BUILD SIMULTANEOUSLY OR IF THEY SO CHOOSE THEY CAN BUILD THEM FIRST.

THAT'S FINE. THEY CANNOT HAVE SEPARATE ENTRANCES.

THEY CANNOT HAVE SEPARATE AMENITIES.

THEY ARE TOGETHER. WHATEVER AMENITIES.

THE NON AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL PORTION HAS, THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PORTION MUST HAVE THE SAME AFFORDABLE COMMITMENT AND THIS IS AGAIN TO COMPLY WITH THE REGULATION.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY YEAR AGAIN YOU CAN GO OVER IT.

I'M NOT GOING TO READ EVERYTHING HERE, BUT IT'S ALL THESE SAFEGUARDS TO ENSURE THAT THE PROJECT REMAINS OR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PART REMAINS AFFORDABLE FOR 30 YEARS.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THE CITY CAN ENSURE THAT BY MAKING THESE STIPULATIONS.

WE GO OVER SITE DESIGN, ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND AGAIN WE ARE WE BORROWED FROM OUR OWN CODE.

WE GOT ALL OF THIS LIKE WHAT APPLIES TO OTHER PROJECTS WHEN IT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE LOCAL ACT OR WITH THE ACT IN GENERAL, WE JUST USE WHAT OUR EXISTING CODE TO AS A REFERENCE.

ARCHITECTURE REQUIREMENTS IS THE SAME PARKING REQUIREMENTS HERE.

WE HAVE JUST A LITTLE BIT TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THE REQUEST.

AND YOU SEE THAT IN TWO QMD THAT IS LOCATED WITHIN ONE HALF MILE OF A MAJOR TRANSIT STOP, AS DETERMINED BY THE CITY, MAY REQUEST UP TO 5% REDUCTION IN THE TOTAL PARKING REQUIREMENT, AS SUCH SHALL BE EVALUATED BASED ON SITE CONDITION.

OKAY, SO THERE ARE AND THEN THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS.

THEY NEED TO HAVE A SIDEWALK THAT CONNECTS TO THE TRANSIT AND OTHER ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE ENSURED.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

AGAIN, YOU CAN GO OVER IT, BUT IT'S BASICALLY IN THE END, IT MENTIONS CONFIRMING WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO AFTER THE THIRD YEARS, HOW TO TREAT THE PROJECT, ETC.

I FORGOT TO MENTION ONE THING IN THE BEGINNING THAT THE ACT, THE LIVE LOCAL ACT, REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL JULY, I THINK FIRST 2033. SO WE HAVE A CLAUSE IN OUR ORDINANCE AS WELL THAT THE THIS ENTIRE SECTION WILL BE NULL AND VOID IN 2033 UNLESS THE ACT IS RENEWED.

SO THIS WHOLE SECTION IS DEPENDENT ON AS LONG AS THE LIVE LOCAL ACT IS THE LAW.

WE ARE FOLLOWING THE LAW HERE.

THE CITY OF TAMARAC STRATEGIC PLANNING.

COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING.

IT'S THIS ORDINANCE SUPPORTS.

GOAL NUMBER ONE TAMARAC IS HOME WELL-MAINTAINED, INCLUSIVE, AND EQUITABLE BY PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BY BEING WELCOMING AND AGAIN PROVIDING MORE THAN THE ACT HAS REQUIRED OF US AND IT IS ALSO SUPPORTED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVE ONE.

[00:50:03]

THE CITY WILL ASSIST THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN PROVIDING VARIETY OF HOUSING UNIT TYPES TO MEET THE VARYING NEEDS AND LIFESTYLES OF RESIDENTS.

TO THIS, I COME TO THE RECOMMENDATION.

THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION, TERMINATING NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PENDING ORDINANCE BY ADOPTING THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 10, ARTICLE 2, ENTITLED ZONING DISTRICT BY CREATING SECTION 10-2.8 ENTITLED QUALIFIED MIXED DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO THE LOCAL ACT OF 2023 TO PROVIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW OF CERTAIN AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS PURSUANT TO STATE LAW ON FIRST READING AT ITS JUNE 26TH, 2024 MEETING, AND ON SECOND READING AT ITS JULY 1024 MEETING AND WITH THIS, I CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION. I'M OPEN FOR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

FOR THAT INFORMATION THIS MORNING.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? THE FLOOR IS OPEN. PLEASE COME FORWARD WHEN YOU COME FORWARD.

YOU NEED TO INDICATE YOUR NAME.

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES OR LESS TO SPEAK.

DOES SHE NEED TO BE SWORN IN? NO. OKAY.

SO THIS ITEM IS SPECIFICALLY ITEM 8B.

OKAY. GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS NATASHA BRETON.

I JUST HAVE 3.

ADDRESS PLEASE. OH SORRY.

HOLLY COURT. SO I JUST HAVE THREE AREAS OF CONCERN I DON'T IT'S KIND OF QUESTIONS BUT.

SO THE FIRST CONCERN IS WHERE IT SAYS THE 65% MUST BE RESIDENTIAL.

I KNOW THAT TAMARAC .

WE'RE TRYING TO GROW AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES TO TAXES, THINGS LIKE THAT NUMBER IS A BIT CONCERNING TO ME.

I UNDERSTAND THAT HOUSING HAPPENS TO BE A BIT OF AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE'S NO TRUE TELLING WHAT IT IS IN A FEW YEARS DOWN THE LINE.

BUT AGAIN, THAT KEYWORD MUST TO ME, THAT'S A BIT ALARMING.

THAT'S A RELATIVELY HIGH NUMBER.

IF CONSIDERING IT'S MIXED USE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW? IF THEY WANT TO HAVE, LIKE, MORE COMMERCIAL SPACES, THEY'RE CAPPED.

SO THAT'S MY CONCERN RIGHT THERE.

MY NEXT CONCERN OR.

YEAH, IS HOW DO YOU ENSURE OR MEASURE THE AFFORDABILITY.

LIKE HOW DO YOU REALLY DETERMINE THAT SOMETHING THAT HOUSING IS ACTUALLY AFFORDABLE.

SO THAT'S A HUGE CONCERN AS WELL AND THEN I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS THE TITLE ITSELF IS JUST A LITTLE CONFUSING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE DEVELOPERS, WHEN THEY'RE COMING INTO THE CITY, IF WE'RE NOT BRINGING IT TO THE PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN KIND OF DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY DO ALREADY TO AN EXTENT AND SO IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY GIVE OTHER RESIDENTS OR LOCAL INVESTORS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BACK INTO OUR OWN BACKYARD.

SO THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT.

JUST A QUICK ANSWER.

THIS IS STATE LAW. IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CANNOT DISPUTE IT.

LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY. SO IT IS WHAT IT IS, WHETHER IT'S GOOD OR BAD.

THAT'S THE FIRST PART.

NOW AS FAR AS WHAT IS AFFORDABLE, AGAIN, AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS DEFINED BY STATE LAW.

AND I CAN GO OVER A THE UNDER SECTION 420 .0004 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES.

AFFORDABLE MEANS THAT MONTHLY RENTS OR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS DO NOT EXCEED A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF MEDIAN ADJUSTED GROSS ANNUAL INCOME.

AMI FOR VARIOUS HOUSEHOLD EXTREMELY LOW INCOME PERSONS, VERY LOW INCOME PERSONS, LOW INCOME PERSONS, MODERATE INCOME PERSONS.

SO THE ACT DOES NOT SAY WHICH ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES YOU HAVE TO JUST SAY WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY THIS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS? FOR THE MOST PART.

OKAY. BUT IT'S ALWAYS CONCERNING, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF YOU HAVE STATE LAW.

YEAH. WE JUST, YOU KNOW, WE ARE PREEMPTED FROM NOT APPLYING IT.

WE HAVE TO APPLY IT.

OKAY. WHAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE TO ADDRESS YOUR CONCERN IS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE NONRESIDENT ELEMENT, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL OR RETAIL OR WHATEVER WILL CREATE, WILL GENERATE THE TAX BASE NEEDED AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR AND IN THIS CASE, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT PRACTICALLY, IT'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST FLOOR.

THE GROUND FLOOR IS GOING TO BE THE NONRESIDENTIAL.

SO THAT WILL BE WILL ENCOURAGING WHERE YOU CAN DRIVE ALONG AND YOU HAVE YOUR COMMERCIAL ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL, LIKE MANY OTHER CITIES EVERYWHERE, NOT JUST IN THE UNITED STATES, EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD, THIS IS VERY COMMON.

SO THAT WILL CREATE THAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT'S VERY RESTRICTIVE TO THE DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPERS DON'T WANT CURRENTLY UNDER STATE, UNDER THE CURRENT STATE OF OF THE ECONOMY, THEY DON'T WANT TO COME TO TAMARAC WILLINGLY BUILDING COMMERCIAL.

[00:55:01]

THEY REALLY WANT TO BUILD ALL RESIDENTIAL.

SO AT LEAST WE ARE GETTING A NONRESIDENTIAL ELEMENT, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, IT COME AND WE'RE GETTING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS WELL.

SO THIS IS A BONUS.

WE HAVE NOT AS OF YET RECEIVED ANY APPLICATION FOR IT, BUT WE ARE READY NOW.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

IF I CAN SUBMIT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

YOUNG LADY, I DON'T REMEMBER YOUR NAME.

IF I CAN SUBMIT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

THE CITY OF TAMARAC HAS A PROGRAM CALLED TAMARAC UNIVERSITY.

YOU SEEM VERY ARTICULATE, VERY SMART, AND INTERESTED IN DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COMMUNITY.

IT MIGHT HELP YOU TO ATTEND TAMARAC UNIVERSITY AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WORKINGS OF THE CITY AND PERHAPS EVEN VOLUNTEER ON A BOARD LIKE THIS AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE SOME INPUT IN WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

[INAUDIBLE] OH, AWESOME.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU KNOW SO MUCH.

OKAY, AWESOME. WELL, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY, AND MAYBE YOU CAN HELP WITH THE INPUT THAT YOU HAVE HELP TO GROW THE COMMUNITY AND I'M SURE THOSE IN THE ROOM CAN AFTER TODAY CAN SHARE WITH YOU HOW YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET INVOLVED BETTER.

WELCOME. THANK YOU.

ALRIGHTY. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? YES. ALEXANDRA.

SO, IN LIEU OF WHAT THIS YOUNG LADY IS SAYING AND LISTENING TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.

SO WHAT ARE SAFEGUARDS THAT TAMARAC CAN PUT IN PLACE FOR CURRENT HOMEOWNERS OR CURRENT BUSINESS OWNERS REGARDING THEIR BUSINESSES? LIKE, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LAW IS NOT GOING TO BE IN EFFECT UNLESS IT'S.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEW DEVELOPMENT HERE.

CORRECT. SO FOR THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENTS, ARE THERE SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE TO SECURE THOSE HOMEOWNERS AND THOSE BUSINESSES? THE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AGAIN, THERE IS A PART OF THE GLITCH BILL THAT KIND OF PROTECTS SINGLE FAMILY HOMES FROM HAVING THESE AFFORDABLE, NON AFFORDABLE PROJECTS COMING TO CLOSE TO THEM.

SO THEY IF THEY'RE ABOUT 25 AGAIN, 25 OR MORE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, THEY CANNOT BE LOCATED THERE.

THESE PROJECTS AND JUST TO ARE CLEAR THIS IS AGAINST STATE LAW.

I MEAN WE CAN I UNDERSTAND.

YEAH JUST WE'RE TRYING AND WHAT WE DID IS TRYING TO FIND LIKE OTHER CITIES, TRYING TO FIND THE BEST BALANCE OF HOW WE ENSURE IF WE GET ONE OF ONE OR MORE OF THESE PROJECTS THAT ARE VETTED IN A WAY THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR VESTED RIGHTS TO DO SO.

BUT AT LEAST NOW WE CAN APPLY OUR CODE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE IN HARMONY WITH THEIR SURROUNDINGS BY DOING SO AND REMEMBER THAT ARE ONLY ALLOWED IN THE MIXED USE. BASICALLY IN OUR THERE ARE MIXED USE PROJECT IN THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL.

AGAIN WE HAVE MORE STIPULATIONS IN THE INDUSTRIAL PART, HOW THEY NEED TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE BUFFERED.

WELL, HOW THE AND ALL THAT IS ALREADY WRITTEN IN THE NEW CODE.

I DID NOT GO OVER EVERY SINGLE LINE, BUT IT'S IN THE PACKAGE AND IT'S IN LINE WITH WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE AND WE HAVE, I THINK WE HAVE TAILORED IT AGAIN TO BE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY CONFLICT WITH OUR EXISTING CODE BY DOING SO, EXCEPT FOR THE THAT WE CANNOT DISCUSS HEIGHT, DENSITY AND LAND USE.

THIS IS GRANTED BY LAW.

WE CANNOT SAY NO TO THOSE THREE ASPECTS.

EVERYTHING ELSE REMAINED THE SAME.

IF THE PROJECT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF THE CITY, EXCEPT FOR THE THREE, THEN IT HAS TO GO.

IT CANNOT GO FORWARD.

IT HAS TO MEET OUR PLAN, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IT HAS TO MEET OUR PLAN, OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IN ALL OTHER ASPECTS EXCEPT THE THREE.

RIGHT. SO LET'S SAY THERE'S A NEW DEVELOPMENT COMING IN AND IN THIS DEVELOPMENT, THEY'RE LOOKING TO ACQUIRE CURRENT PROPERTY THAT DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OR A CURRENT RESIDENTIAL SECTION THAT DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.

IN THAT EVENT, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? THEY CANNOT THIS THESE PROJECT HAVE TO BE IN INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL OR MIXED USE.

SO A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD ZONED AS RESIDENTIAL, YOU CANNOT HAVE A PROJECT LIKE THIS.

PERFECT. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD THAT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? VIOLA! SO WHO SET THE RULES FOR THE HEIGHT, THE DENSITY AND THE ZONING? I'M CONCERNED THAT I HEAR, AND I SEE THAT YOU HAVE THE 70FT AND LIMITED TO THREE, MAYBE SOME PLACES, FOUR STORIES.

IS THAT CORRECT? WE HAVE CURRENT EXISTING HIGHEST IS 70FT.

WHO SAID THAT RULE? WAS IT THE CITY OR IS IT SOMETHING FROM THE STATE? NO, IT'S IN THE IN OUR CODE.

YEAH [INAUDIBLE].

SO TO RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTION, THE STATE STATUTE SAYS THAT THE HEIGHT CAN BE IT HAS SOME REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE ADJACENT

[01:00:04]

MUNICIPALITY NO LESS, I BELIEVE, THAN THE HEIGHT IN THE MUNICIPALITY THAT THE PROJECT IS BEING BUILT IN.

SO OUR GREATEST HEIGHT IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC IS 70FT.

SO THIS IS TRYING TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE REQUIREMENT TO STATE LAW.

SO THEY'RE SAYING, FOR THE MOST PART, THE CITY CANNOT REJECT A PROJECT IF THE HEIGHT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GREATEST HEIGHT IN THE CITY OR NO GREATER THAN THREE STORIES, DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT.

SO THESE GUIDELINES IS INTENDED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE SPELLING IT OUT FOR THE DEVELOPER AND CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW, BUT THAT 70FT IS THE HIGHEST HEIGHT ESTABLISHED IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

OKAY. THANK YOU. BECAUSE I WAS LISTENING TO WHEN I CAME TO THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING AND WE WERE THAT YOU WERE DISCUSSING THE HEIGHT, AND SOME PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED IF IT GOES ABOVE 4 STORIES AND ALL, AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE COST OF DEVELOPING ANYTHING YOU'RE DEVELOPING NOW.

SO I'M WONDERING IF WE'RE RESTRICTING DEVELOPERS WANTING TO COME IN, IF YOUR HEIGHT, IF THEY CANNOT MAKE THE PROFIT THEY COULD MAKE BECAUSE THEY'RE RESTRICTED TO THE HEIGHT.

THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION.

THAT'S TRUE AND I THINK THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM THIS, AND MAYOR WAS CLEAR, IS THAT THESE GUIDELINES ARE INTENDED TO TRY TO PROVIDE SOME STRUCTURE FOR THE DEVELOPER WHO MIGHT BE BUILDING CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW, OR HANDS ARE TIED.

THE STATE HAS RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND SO THEY HAVE PUT THIS STATUTE IN PLACE TO ENCOURAGE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THE CITY OF TAMARAC IS UNIQUE IN THAT OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WILL HAVE A MIXED USE COMPONENT AND SO MY YEARS EXPLAINING THAT 20% THRESHOLD, BECAUSE THE CITY OF TAMARAC HAS LESS THAN 20% OF COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY, IT MEANS THAT ANY PRODUCT THAT IS BUILT HERE MUST BE A MIXED USE PRODUCT.

SO THAT'S A GREAT BENEFIT WE HAVE.

BUT OUR HANDS ARE TIED AS IT RELATES TO DEVELOPERS THAT COME IN BUILD IN THIS PRODUCT.

SO MUCH SO THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER SEE THESE PROJECTS COME BEFORE YOU.

THE STATUTE SAID THAT THEY MUST BE PROCESSED ADMINISTRATIVELY.

SO YOU WILL NOT SEE THESE SITE PLANS COME BEFORE YOU.

THEY WILL NOT COME TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

THAT'S THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER THESE GUIDELINES, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THAT APPLICATION WILL LOOK LIKE.

BUT THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY IS THAT YOU WILL NOT SEE THESE SITE PLANS GOING FORWARD.

SO EVEN IF THE PROJECT IS A BIG MIXED USE, LIKE AN ADVANTAGE THAT YOU JUST SAW THAT CAME BEFORE YOU SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IF IT'S BUILT IN THE INDUSTRIAL IN THE ANY OF OUR MIXED USE CORRIDOR AND MY HERE HAD A MAP UP, BUT A BETTER VISUAL WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAP SHOWING YOU ALL THESE DISTRICTS. BUT IT'S PRIMARILY ALL OUR COMMERCIAL THOROUGHFARES WHERE THESE PROJECT POTENTIALLY COULD BE BUILT AND YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE A SITE PLAN. WE WOULD HAVE TO MANAGE THEM ADMINISTRATIVELY.

YEAH. WELL BASICALLY HERE IN BLUE, ALL THE BLUE AREAS ARE THOSE THAT ARE AFFECTED.

OKAY. SO I KNOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE CHANGES THAT THE LAW IS IMPOSING ON US, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION. IF THE SITE PLANS AREN'T COMING BEFORE THE BOARD OR THE.

ARE THEY COMING BEFORE THE COMMISSION, THE SITE PLANS.

NO SITE PLAN WILL COME TO THE DRC? NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW.

SO IF THEY'RE NOT COMING BEFORE THE COMMISSION OR THE BOARD, HOW DOES THE CITY.

HOW DID THE HOW DOES THE COMMUNITY HAVE A STAY? HOW DOES THE PUBLIC HAVE A SAY IN WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY? HOW ARE WE GOING TO HANDLE THAT? IF THE PROJECT, IF THE PROPOSED QUALIFIED PROJECT, MEET THE ACT AND MEETS WHAT WE HAVE IN THIS NEW SECTION TEN DASH 2.8, IT WILL NOT NEED PUBLIC INPUT.

AND THAT'S AGAIN THIS THAT'S A STATE LAW.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE IT'S BEYOND US.

THAT'S INTERESTING.

YEAH. SO WE DID OUR SORRY.

WE DID OUR BEST JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS AND WE DO A VERY RESTRICTIVE, I DON'T WANT TO SAY RESTRICTED BUT VERY THOROUGH.

YEAH. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW LIKE THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE, IT'S GOING TO BE TREATED THE SAME.

WITH EVERYTHING EXCEPT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LAND USE.

AGAIN, DENSITY AND HEIGHT.

WE HAVE NO SAY EXCEPT GIVING THEM THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED.

OKAY, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WE CAN COME AFTER AND WE'LL MAKE SURE IT'S IMPLEMENTED.

I UNDERSTAND. SO FOR EXAMPLE, THAT PROJECT THAT WAS JUST DENIED ON THE OLD SHREDDERS LOT.

YES, THAT'S IN A MIXED USE.

IT IS A MIXED USE.

YEAH. SO IF THAT HAD COME BEFORE US, SAY NEXT MONTH OR AFTER, THIS IS PAST, I MEAN, IT WOULDN'T HAVE COME BEFORE US IF IT CAME.

[01:05:03]

NOW YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER WITH THE DEVELOPER, BE INTERESTED IN PROVIDING 40% AFFORDABLE UNITS.

I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

YES. SO THIS DOESN'T FORCE DEVELOPERS TO GO THE AFFORDABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING WAY, BUT IT PROVIDES AN OPTION BECAUSE I'M SURE THERE ARE CERTAIN DEVELOPERS WHOSE ROLE OR WHOSE MAIN PRODUCT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

SO THAT WOULD AGAIN, THEY'VE BEEN IN OTHER PLACES IN FLORIDA.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SOLID PROPOSAL.

NOTHING. RIGHT.

OKAY. BUT ONCE THIS IS ADOPTED, NO TELLING WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

BUT JUST TO RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTION A LITTLE BIT FURTHER HERE, SHOWED YOU THE ZONING DISTRICTS AND WE WERE STRATEGIC TO MAKE SURE WE DID NOT INCLUDE PD OR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICTS. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ADVANTAGE PROJECT, THEY DID A REZONING TO THE PD ZONING DESIGNATION.

THAT'S ONE OF THE APPLICATIONS YOU CONSIDERED.

SO THAT ZONING DISTRICT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST.

YOU. SO THE REZONING WAS APPROVED, BUT THE PROJECT WASN'T APPROVED AND I'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT AT THE END OF THE MEETING.

I'LL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CITY COMMISSION.

BUT THAT PROJECT DID A REZONING FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.

WE STRATEGICALLY DID NOT INCLUDE PD AS A ZONING DESIGNATION UNDER WHICH THIS WOULD BE ALLOWED.

WE STUCK EXACTLY WITH STATE LAW, WHICH SAYS COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND MIXED USE AND SO OUR PD IS NOT INCLUDED.

YOU ALSO NOTICE OUR BUSINESS PARK ZONING DESIGNATION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT LIST.

SO OUR PRISTINE BUSINESS PARK THAT'S ON THE WEST SIDE WHERE THE CHURCH WAS GOING TO BE LOCATED, WE HAVE A SMALL PORTION AS WELL OVER IN THE EAST SIDE.

WE DID NOT INCLUDE THE BUSINESS PARK AS WELL.

WE JUST STUCK WITH THE LAW OF THE STATUTE, WHICH IS JUST MIXED USE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

OKAY, OKAY.

THANK YOU. THAT WAS INFORMATIVE.

THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? I'M SORRY AND JUST ONE MORE THING.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT ONCE THIS IS ADOPTED AND IT'S THE SAME MESSAGE WE'LL SEND TO THE COMMISSION, YOU MIGHT SEE A PROJECT THAT'S GONE THROUGH BUILDING PERMIT AND IT'S BEING CONSTRUCTED. IT GETS OUT TO THE RESIDENT.

HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS PROJECT? HOW COME IT'S BEING BUILT? IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND.

SO YOU'RE ABLE TO ARTICULATE TO THAT RESIDENT THAT THIS IS A LIVE LOCAL ACT APPLICATION BY STATE LAW, IT DOES NOT COME TO A PUBLIC HEARING.

YOU DON'T GET TO SEE THE PROJECT, NOR DOES THE CITY COMMISSION, BECAUSE THESE ARE QUESTIONS, ONCE THIS IS IMPLEMENTED, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY.

SO ARE WE GOING TO BE PROACTIVE AND LET THE RESIDENTS KNOW THAT, HEY, THIS IS NO LONGER YOU NO LONGER HAVE A VOICE, PER SE.

I KNOW IT'S THE LAW, BUT YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY THE RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IN TERMS OF HOW TO GET IT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT EDUCATIONAL OR INFORMATIVE.

NOT TO SAY WE'RE CUTTING YOU OFF TO THE PROCESS, BUT EXACTLY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT IT IS.

BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO REASSURE THE CURRENT RESIDENTS BECAUSE, AS WE KNOW, TAMARAC AND HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS AND ALL OUR CONDOMINIUMS ARE ALWAYS LIVING IN FEAR.

YEAH AND I URGE YOU TO READ THROUGH THE CHANGE THAT OR THE NEW THE ADDITION.

BASICALLY, WE MADE SURE TO PROTECT EXISTING BUSINESSES, EXISTING RESIDENTIAL, AS YOU KNOW, TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.

SO I'M PERSONALLY I DON'T SEE A HARM COMING FROM THE WAY IT'S DRAFTED NOW.

I THINK IT'S AND WITH THE ADVANTAGE OF PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SOMETHING THE CITY COMMISSION AND WE ALWAYS SAY WE WANT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT IT'S NOT AN EASY TASK.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW, IT REALLY NEED A PROJECT FROM THE DEVELOPER SIDE, NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL, VETTED TO GET INTO THIS.

IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, TO GET THE FINANCE, TO GET ALL EVERYTHING WITH INSURANCE AND IT'S NOT EASY TO QUALIFY.

YOU DON'T THINK THAT IT'S LIKE REALLY A SIMPLE GAME.

THEY JUST COME IN AND THEY GO, IT'S NOT JUST TO MEET THE STATE LAW.

THE ACT ITSELF DID A GOOD JOB, BUT WE ADDED WHAT ISN'T WITHIN OUR RIGHT, WITHIN THE CITY, RIGHT, TO MAKE IT MORE PROTECTIVE AND THEN OUR BENEFIT IS THAT WE ONLY WERE BELOW THE 20%, SO ONLY THAT 20% CAN BE BUILT UPON FOR THAT USAGE.

SO IF WE HAVE IF THE CITY HAS LESS THAN 20% FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL, AND THIS IS THE ACT, SAY IF A CITY HAS LESS THAN 20%, THEN THE LIVE LOCAL ACT IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC HAS ONLY ABOUT 12% OF ITS LAND DEDICATED TO PURELY INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE.

SO AND THAT'S WHY AND THIS THE 12% WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS IN THE LIGHT BLUE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE COLOR IS CALLED.

YEAH. BUT IT'S THAT NUMBER IS BENEFICIAL TO US BECAUSE ANY PRODUCT WE GET WILL BE A MIXED USE.

IT WILL NOT BE A PURE JUST MULTIFAMILY PRODUCT.

[01:10:01]

SO ANY PRODUCT WE GET UNDER THIS ACT WILL BE A MIXED USE PRODUCT.

YEAH, OKAY.

THAT HELPS ME AT LEAST.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.

OKAY. YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR PRESENTATION ABOUT SOMETHING BECOMING NULL AND VOID AFTER 2030.

UNLESS SOMETHING CAN YOU JUST KIND OF OKAY THE LIVE LOCAL ACT NOW SAY IT WILL END.

IT JUST BECOME NULL AND VOID ON I THINK IN JULY 1ST 2020 33.

SO WE'RE ADDING THIS SECTION TERMINATION.

WHEN THE ACT IS TERMINATED, THIS SECTION IS TERMINATED AUTOMATICALLY NOW AND THAT WAS ADVISED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY UNLESS SOMETHING COMES UP AND THEY RENEW IT FOR ANOTHER TEN YEARS. WE DON'T WANT TO REWRITE A NEW ORDINANCE, SO WE'LL EXTEND IT TO A NEW TEN YEARS.

YEAH. THANK YOU. OKAY.

YOU'RE WELCOME AND THEN IN 2023, WHEN THE ACT BECOMES NULL IF IT'S NOT REINSTATED, THOSE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS GO TO MARKET PRICE.

THEY WILL. WE HAVE A SECTION ON HOW THEY WILL BE TREATED.

OKAY. I WILL READ IT.

THANK YOU. AFTER 30 YEARS, THEY CAN GO TO MARKET PRICE.

YES. ALRIGHTY.

AGAIN. DO WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK THEIR QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. LOOKS LIKE WE'VE ASKED ALL OUR QUESTIONS.

WE'D LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD AND MAKE A VOTE.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND THIS ITEM TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE CITY COMMISSION AS WRITTEN? I WOULD PROPOSE A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD.

TO APPROVE. I SECOND TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT.

CORRECT? YES, YES.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY ALEXANDER TO MOVE IT AS WRITTEN IN OUR DOCUMENT FOR CITY COMMISSION AND THEN WE HAVE A SECOND BY JACQUES I SECOND.

MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION PASSED 5 TO 0.

THANK YOU. ALRIGHTY.

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO EXCUSE MYSELF.

I'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE ATTORNEY AND MISS CALLOWAY AND SAJEEN THE VICE CHAIR.

SHE'S GOING TO TAKE OVER FROM HERE.

I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS TO HER AND THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU, NIKOLE.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE A.

[8.a TBO89 - Board Order approving/denying Special Exception application to allow for a Sanitation Company and Waste Hauler use in an I-2 (Industrial) zoning district pursuant to Section 10-3.2, Table of Allowed Uses, Code of Ordinances, at 2890 NW 55 Court, Tamarac, Florida 33309.]

TEMPORARY BOARD ORDER 89.

BOARD ORDER APPROVING OR DENYING SPECIAL EXEMPTION.

APPLICATION TO ALLOW FOR A SANITATION COMPANY AND WASTE HAULER USED IN I-2 INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT PURSUANT TO SECTION 10-3.2.

TABLE OF ALLOWED USES.

CODE OF ORDINANCES AT 2890 NORTHWEST 54TH COURT, TAMARAC, FLORIDA 3309.

WE'LL NOW HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT.

YES. GOOD MORNING AND CHRISTINE CAREY, ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, BANNER YARD, NORTHWEST 55TH COURT, LLC.

YOU NEED MY ADDRESS, 2800.

NO. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD MORNING.

THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU IS FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO ALLOW A NEW HAULING USE AND IT'S ALSO FOR A WAIVER TO ALLOW SAID USE ONLY 165FT AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH, WHERE 500FT ARE REQUIRED.

I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU. SO THE DEVELOPER IS ASKING FOR THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION AS A RESULT OF A CODE VIOLATION FOR OPERATING THE WASTE HAULING USE WITHOUT A TR, THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 18,000FT², AND IT IS CURRENTLY A VACANT INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY.

IT IS IN AN I-2 INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT WITH THE INDUSTRIAL FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE ARE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SITE WHERE YOU HAVE THE CURRENT DUMPSTERS.

THIS IS AN INDUSTRIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU CAN SEE TO THE RIGHT.

OTHER WAREHOUSES ACROSS THE STREET.

AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL WAREHOUSES THROUGHOUT THE ONE STREET NORTHWEST 55TH COURT.

[01:15:04]

SO THIS COMPANY IS AN INDEPENDENT DUMPSTER RENTAL COMPANY.

THEY BASICALLY RENT OUT DUMPSTERS AND PICK THEM UP AND DUMP THEM AT APPROVED BROWARD COUNTY DUMP SITES.

THEY HAVE BEEN IN OPERATION SINCE 2017, AND THEY HAVE ABOUT 700 DUMPSTERS THROUGH THROUGHOUT FLORIDA.

SO THIS IS A ZONING MAP OF THE PROPERTY.

YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN YELLOW.

SO THE NORTH IS THE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT.

IT IS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, LIKE I SAID WITH OTHER INDUSTRIAL USES, YOU HAVE TO THE WEST, THE BUSINESS PARK, ZONING DISTRICT, THE PUBLIC FACILITIES, AND THEN TO THE SOUTH ARE THE RESIDENTIAL USES OR ZONING DESIGNATIONS.

SO PURSUANT TO SECTION TEN 54G, THE CITY COMMISSION MAY APPROVE A SPECIAL EXCEPTION UPON MAKING THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, WHICH I WILL GO THROUGH TO SHOW YOU HOW THIS USE MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS.

THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH ALLOWS INDUSTRIAL USES AT THIS LOCATION.

IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE BECAUSE A SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE IS ALLOWED BY REFERENCE IN THE BROWARD COUNTY CODE IN THE M3 ZONING DISTRICT. IT WILL NOT HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE AIRPORT HANGARS, AUTO MACHINE PART DEALERS, ROOFING COMPANIES AND A PLASTIC FABRICATORS, AS WELL AS ALL STORAGE WAREHOUSES, ETC. THE USE MUST BE DESIRABLE FOR PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NOT INJURIOUS TO THE PUBLIC.

A WASTE HAULING USE.

SO THESE DUMPSTERS ARE NECESSARY WHEN YOU HAVE A CONSTRUCTION SITE OR ANY LARGE OPERATION WITH A LOT OF WASTE THAT NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP.

THE OFF SITE IMPACTS, IF ANY, WILL BE MITIGATED BY THE PROPOSED BUFFERS AND THE CONTAINERS ARE EMPTIED OUT BEFORE THEY'RE PLACED ON THE SITE.

SO IF ANY, THE NO ORDERS ARE ANTICIPATED TO COME FROM THE SITE BECAUSE OF THE USE.

SO AT THE TIME OF PERM LEARNING, THIS PROPERTY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A SITE PLAN PROCESS.

WE WILL PROVIDE PROPER TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC CIRCULATION, AS WELL AS ANY LANDSCAPE BUFFERS REQUIRED BY THE CODE. THE SITE IS ADEQUATELY SIZED.

THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT IN THIS ZONING DISTRICT IS 10,000FT².

WE HAVE 18,000.

SO THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION SHALL NO LONGER BE VALID.

SHOULD A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY OR BUSINESS LICENSE LICENSE BECOME INACTIVE.

SHOULD THE APPLICANT WISH TO TRANSFER THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION, USE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES, DOCUMENTATION AND PAYMENT OF THE FEES SHALL BE PROVIDED.

PREVIOUS CONDITIONS, IF ANY, SHALL ALSO BE COMPLIED WITH PRIOR TO REQUESTING A TRANSFER.

AS MENTIONED, THIS REQUEST IS THE RESULT OF A CODE VIOLATION WHICH THIS IS MEANT TO RESOLVE.

THE SECOND REQUEST IS TO WAIVE THE 500 FOOT REQUIREMENT FROM THE RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE SOUTH.

THE PROPERTY IS SEPARATED BY A 0.9 ACRE LOT.

THAT DISTANCE ALONE WILL PROVIDE ANY VISUAL BUFFERS THAT MIGHT BE WHICH MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE FROM THE RESIDENTS TO THE SOUTH AND OF COURSE, AS MENTIONED, THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF LANDSCAPING TO SHIELD THE CONTAINERS.

SO TO SUMMARIZE, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE INDUSTRIAL CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT WILL PROVIDE A NEEDED SERVICE AND IT WILL BE BUFFERED FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTION OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE THE CITY? YOU WANT TO ASK A QUESTION OKAY.

GO AHEAD. YES.

THE CONTAINERS OR WHAT? WHATEVER YOU CALL THEM.

THE TRUCKS, IS IT ARE THEY GOING TO BE EMPTY WHEN YOU HAVE THEM STORED THERE, OR ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE WHATEVER YOU COLLECTED? NO. THE BROWARD COUNTY HAS DESIGNATED SITES WHERE YOU CAN DUMP LARGE AMOUNTS OF WASTE.

SO THE HAULER DUMPS THEM THERE AND THEN ON THIS PROPERTY IN TAMARAC, THE DUMPSTERS ARE EMPTY.

SO THEY'RE JUST THERE TO STORE THE EMPTY DUMPSTERS YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE.

HOLD ON. THESE ARE THE DUMPSTERS.

[01:20:03]

THEY'RE ALL EMPTY.

OKAY, SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY SMELLY THINGS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S NOT ANTICIPATED.

OKAY. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, BUT MOST OF MY QUESTIONS ARE NORMALLY ANSWERED WITH THE CITY.

PRESENTATION. DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND DO YOUR PRESENTATION? ALL RIGHT. GOOD MORNING.

FOR THE RECORD, I'M ROB JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

ALL RIGHT AND CHRISTINE CAREY, DESIGNATED AGENT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER, BANNER YARD, NORTHWEST 55TH COURT, LLC, IS REQUESTING THE APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO ALLOW FOR A PROPOSED SANITATION COMPANIES AND WASTE HAULERS USE IN AN I-2 INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT. PURSUANT TO THE TABLE OF ALLOWED USES AND THEY'RE ALSO REQUESTING A WAIVER FROM SECTION 30 9-313Q OF THE CODE OF BROWARD COUNTY TO ALLOW PLOTS OCCUPIED BY A SANITATION COMPANY STORING DUMPSTERS OR OTHER WASTE CONTAINERS OF SANITATION VEHICLES TO NOT BE LOCATED CLOSER THAN 165FT FROM ANY RESIDENTIALLY ZONED DISTRICT.

SO ONCE AGAIN, LET'S FAMILIARIZE OURSELVES WITH THE SUBJECT.

PROPERTY IS LOCATED EAST OF PROSPECT ROAD AND SOUTH OF THE FORT LAUDERDALE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT, IN A INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE DISTRICT AT 29 2890 NORTHWEST FIVE COURT IN THE PROSPECT BEND AREA, WHICH IS IN COMMISSION DISTRICT ONE, WHICH IS COMMISSIONER MARLON BOLTON.

THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 0.42 ALMOST HALF AN ACRE IN SIZE HAS A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF INDUSTRIAL, A ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF I-2 TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ACROSS NORTHWEST 55TH COURT, YOU HAVE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSES ZONED I-2 TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS A PROPERTY OWNED BY JARVI CORPORATION AND ASSOCIATES.

IT CONTAINS A TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER AND IT'S USED FOR STORAGE AND IT'S ZONED I-2 INDUSTRIAL TO THE EAST IS THE ET PLASTICS.

THERE ARE PLASTIC FABRICATION COMPANY, IT'S ZONED I2 AND THEN TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS THE CYLINDER HEAD EXCHANGE AUTO MACHINE SHOP. IT'S ZONED I2 AS WELL AND THE PROSPECT ZONE PROSPECT BEND AREA.

IT WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY IN SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2010 AND THEN UPON ANNEXATION, THE PROPERTY WAS BEING USED BY ALL COUNTY WASTE INC,, AS A WASTE HAULER USE WHEN WE ANNEXED IT INTO THE CITY.

THE WASTE HAULER USE.

IT WAS REPLACED IN 2012 WITH A PAVEMENT CONTRACTOR NAMED WILBY AND COMPANY, AND THEY REMAINED ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY UNTIL 2014.

SO ON JANUARY 12TH, 2024, A BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT.

WAS SUBMITTED FOR A DUMPSTER RENTAL BUSINESS NAMED ALL COUNTY WASTE INC.

ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ALL COUNTY WASTE.

THERE IS EXISTING DUMPSTER RENTAL SERVICE LOCATED AT 1285 SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY WEST IN POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA ON MARCH 20TH, 2020, 2024.

THE CITY'S SPECIAL MAGISTRATE REQUIRED THE PROPERTY OWNER TO OBTAIN A BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT FOR THE PROPOSED SANITATION COMPANIES AND WASTE HAULERS USE ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THEN A PENALTY HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR JULY 17TH, 2024 IF NOT COMPLIED.

SO THE WASTE AND SALVAGE USE CATEGORY IN THE TABLE OF ALLOWED USES IN THE CITY'S CODE.

IT ALLOWS FOR ADDITIONAL USES PERMITTED IN BROWARD COUNTY'S M3 INTENSE MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, SUBJECT TO SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL BY THE CITY COMMISSION. YOU CAN SEE THAT ON YOUR SCREEN AT THE USE CATEGORY.

IT IDENTIFIES WASTE AND SALVAGE AND THEN IT SAYS, SEE BROWARD COUNTY'S M3 INTENSE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT FOR ADDITIONAL USES PERMITTED UNDER SPECIAL EXCEPTION IN THE I-2 AND SO PER THE PERMITTED USES SECTION OF THE CODE OF BROWARD COUNTY SANITATION COMPANY IS A WASTE HAULER.

USES ARE PERMITTED IN BROWARD COUNTY'S M3 INTENSE MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

[01:25:06]

IT'S BROWARD COUNTY'S MOST INTENSE DISTRICT, AND ADDITIONALLY, THE LIMITATION OF USES IN THE CODE OF BROWARD COUNTY REQUIRED PLOTS OCCUPIED BY A SANITATION COMPANY STORING DUMPSTERS OR OTHER WASTE CONTAINERS AND SANITATION VEHICLES SHALL NOT BE LOCATED CLOSER TO 500FT FROM ANY RESIDENTIALLY ZONED DISTRICT, AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, IT REQUIRES ALL DUMPSTERS AND WASTE CONTAINERS AND SANITATION VEHICLES TO BE EMPTIED PRIOR TO STORAGE ON THE PLOT.

SO NOW THE APPERCEPTION APPROVAL OF A WASTE AND SANITATION COMPANIES, WASTE HAULERS USE IN THE I-2 ZONING DISTRICT AND A WAIVER REQUIRING PLOTS OCCUPIED BY SANITATION COMPANIES STORING DUMPSTERS OR OTHER WASTE CONTAINERS AND SANITATION VEHICLES TO NOT BE LOCATED CLOSER THAN 500FT FROM ANY RESIDENTIALLY ZONED DISTRICT. SO ALL THE USES WHICH ARE ALLOWED IN THE WASTE AND SALVAGE USE CATEGORY OF THE CITY'S TABLE OF ALLOWED USES, WHICH ARE AUTO TOWING, AUTO WRECKING AND SALVAGE YARD AND RECYCLING FACILITIES.

THOSE ARE ALLOWED IN THE CITY'S I-2 ZONING DISTRICT SUBJECT TO SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL.

SO BASICALLY WHAT I'M SAYING IS ALL THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED WITHIN THE WASTE AND SALVAGE USE CATEGORY IN THE TABLES IN THE CITY'S TABLE OF ALLOWED USES ARE ALLOWED AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS.

AND SO THEN THE CODE ALSO SAYS THAT THAT IT'S ALLOWING THESE BROWARD COUNTY M-3 USES AS SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AS WELL.

SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, IT'S NOT IMPROVED IN ANY WAY AND IT CONTAINS A IT DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY CBS STRUCTURES AND IT'S ENCLOSED BY A CHAIN LINK FENCE.

THE PROPERTY ABUTS THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE PROPERTIES ON ALL SIDES AND IS LOCATED 165FT A LITTLE GREATER THAN 165FT FROM THE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH ACROSS AN INDUSTRIAL LOT.

THAT SUBJECTS, IT SEPARATES THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM THE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

SO THERE'S SO THERE'S ONE LOT BETWEEN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS SPECIAL EXCEPTION IS TO PROVIDE FOR INDIVIDUALIZED REVIEW OF CERTAIN USES THAT, DUE TO THEIR NATURE, RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS OF SURROUNDING AREAS, REQUIRE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION OF THEIR LOCATION, DESIGN AND METHODS OF OPERATIONS, AS WELL AS THE IMPOSITION OF CONDITIONS TO MITIGATE CONCERNS BEFORE THEY CAN BE DEEMED APPROPRIATE IN A ZONING DISTRICT AND COMPATIBLE WITH THEIR SURROUNDINGS.

SO, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IDENTIFIES THE GENERAL REVIEW STANDARDS TO BE EMPLOYED FOR APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE WENT OVER THOSE SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

REVIEW STANDARDS AND HOW THEY COMPLY AND IT IS THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL AS OUTLINED IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

SO THE REQUEST FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION SUPPORTS THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN.

GOAL NUMBER 3 TAMARAC.

TAMARAC IS ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT BY BEING BUSINESS FRIENDLY, AS THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A SANITATION COMPANIES AND WASTE HAULERS USE IN THE CITY'S MOST INTENSE INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT AND AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL AREA IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE FORT LAUDERDALE EXECUTIVE AIRPORT.

SO AS SUCH, THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO ALLOW FOR THE SANITATION COMPANIES AND WASTE HAULERS USE IN AN I-2 INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT PURSUANT TO THE TABLE OF ALLOWED USES THAT ALLOWS FOR ADDITIONAL USES PERMITTED IN BROWARD COUNTY'S M3 INTENSE MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION AND ALSO A WAIVER OF SECTION 39-313(Q).

BROWARD COUNTY CODE OF BROWARD COUNTY, WHICH REQUIRES PLOTS OCCUPIED BY SANITATION COMPANIES STORING DUMPSTERS OR OTHER WASTE CONTAINERS AND SANITATION VEHICLES TO NOT BE LOCATED CLOSER THAN 500FT FROM ANY RESIDENTIALLY ZONED DISTRICT TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

AT ITS JUNE 10TH, 2024 HEARING WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

NUMBER ONE, THAT SANITATION COMPANIES AND WASTE HAULERS USE STORING OR OTHER WASTE CONTAINERS AND SANITATION VEHICLES TO NOT BE LOCATED CLOSER THAN 165.38FT FROM ANY RESIDENTIALLY ZONED DISTRICT AND THAT'S THE WAIVER WRITTEN IN ANY TRANSFER.

THIS SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS, INCLUDING ALL ASSOCIATED CONDITIONS, WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE OWNER IN WRITING AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED IN THEIR PRESENTATION.

NUMBER 3, THAT ALL DUMPSTERS AND WASTE CONTAINERS AND SANITATION VEHICLES SHALL BE EMPTIED PRIOR TO STORAGE ON THE PLOT, AS THAT WAS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AND THEN

[01:30:01]

NUMBER 4, THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL IS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH AND IMPROVE THE PROPERTY FOR THIS PROPOSED SANITATION COMPANIES AND WASTE HAULERS USE PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF ANY BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND THAT ALL VEHICULAR USE AREAS ARE TO BE PAVED TO WITHSTAND APPROPRIATE WEIGHT OF SANITATION AND WASTE HAULER VEHICLES PURSUANT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE CITY ENGINEER, AND THE SITE IS TO BE BROUGHT UP TO THE CURRENT STANDARDS OF THE LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION SECTION OF THE CITY'S TAMARAC CODE OF ORDINANCES TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE, AS DETERMINED THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS.

AND THEN NUMBER FIVE IS THE CONDITION TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS ON THE SIGN TO THE CORRECT ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTY AS 2890 AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.

WE'LL ACCEPT QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU.

DO WE DO THE QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW? ARE WE OPEN FOR PUBLIC HEARING? YOU SHOULD ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK NOW SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE ALL OF IT INTO CONSIDERATION.

RIGHT. THANK YOU.

WE CAN NOW HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC.

DOES ANYONE WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS? ITEM. NO.

SEEING NONE.

OKAY, CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.

I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

YES. CAN WE GO BACK TO THE RECOMMENDATION? ITEM NUMBER ONE.

THE WAY, HOW IT'S WORDED.

ARE YOU NOW MAKING IT? ARE YOU NOW CHANGING THE CODE TO CHANGE THE SEPARATION DISTANCE FROM 500 TO 165? OR IS THIS ONLY FOR THIS PROPERTY? IT'S ONLY FOR THIS PROPERTY TO ALLOW FOR THE WAIVER FOR THIS PROPERTY ONLY.

OKAY. IT'S JUST WAIVING FROM 500 TO 165FT.

SO WE'RE SPECIFICALLY STATING THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE LOCATED ANY CLOSER THAN 165FT.

OKAY, I JUST HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE WAY HOW WE SET IT JUST SOUNDS.

SO FINAL SANITATION COMPANIES AND WASTE HAULERS USE.

IT'S ON THIS PROPERTY.

IT'S SPECIFIC TO THIS USE IN THIS REQUEST.

ALL RIGHT, I THINK SHE'S SUGGESTING THAT YOU JUST WE JUST LIST THE NAME OF THE COMPANY OR THE LOT OR FOR THIS ITEM.

YEAH. OKAY.

SO AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, THE LOT IS BEING USED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

SO WHAT? WHILE I DO AGREE WITH THE WAIVER BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT SEPARATING THE SUBJECT LOT FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE LOOKING TO THE SOUTH? FACING THE RESIDENTIAL AREA? NO, WE ONLY HAVE THE ONE THAT'S THROUGH THE PROPERTY.

I MEAN, YES I DO, ACTUALLY, THIS IS THE ONE TO THE SOUTH THROUGH THE PROPERTY RIGHT THERE.

OH, BUT I SAID THE ENTRANCE.

OKAY, SO I DO AGREE WITH THE WAIVER, BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ENTIRE LOT THAT'S A BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE TO STILL PROVIDE SOME FORM OF DUE DILIGENCE FOR THE LOT.

I THINK I WANTED TO SEE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A CMU WALL THAT'S BUFFERING THE SIDE OR IF THERE'S LANDSCAPING OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT THIS SITE IN PARTICULAR, YOU'RE TALKING THE ADJACENT SITE.

YEAH. IF THERE'S ANY WALL, YOU KNOW, AT THE SOUTH END OF ALL OF THIS PROPERTY.

YES. THERE'S JUST A CHAIN LINK FENCE.

OKAY. IT'S SURROUNDED BY A CHAIN LINK FENCE.

YEAH. HOW MANY? IF I RECOMMEND MY WAIVER, I WILL RECOMMEND SOME FORM OF BUFFER.

I KNOW WE'RE BEING BUFFERED BY A LOT, BUT AND I KNOW WE'RE 165FT AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE FOR THIS LOT AND IF THE OTHER LOT TO THE SOUTH OF IT COMES BEFORE US, THEN WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT AT THAT POINT.

THAT JUST A NOTE I HAVE TO MAKE WHEN WE'RE READY TO VOTE.

WHAT ARE THE HOURS OF OPERATION FOR THIS? [INAUDIBLE]. THERE ARE NO SET.

YOU MEAN BY THE DROP OFF AND PICK UP HOURS, RIGHT? IT SHOULD BE A STANDARD WORKING DAY, OUR 9 TO 5.

BUT I WILL CONFIRM WITH MY CLIENT AND GET BACK TO YOU.

OKAY. BECAUSE I KNOW IF HE GOES BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION, THEY'RE GONNA WANT, TO KNOW THAT.

HOW MANY DUMP TRUCKS ARE GOING TO BE THERE? WAS IT 18? I THOUGHT I HEARD AT A TIME.

YES, IT'LL BE BETWEEN 7 AND 18, ACCORDING TO THE APPLICANT.

[01:35:05]

OKAY AND THAT'S MY ONLY NOTE THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE SOME FORM OF A BUFFER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST OPEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE THE LOT BEHIND IT ITSELF DOES NOT PROVIDE A BUFFER.

YEAH. THAT'S WHY WE'RE REQUIRING THE LANDSCAPING TO BE BROUGHT UP TO THE CODE TO THE FURTHEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.

IS THAT IN YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

YEAH. THAT'S A CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

CAN YOU GO BACK PLEASE. YEAH.

LIKE I SAID, I NOTICED THAT HE ALWAYS ANSWERS MOST OF MY QUESTIONS.

YEAH. THE NUMBER 4, SITE PLAN APPROVAL IS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH A PROPERTY AND THEN THE IT GOES ON TO SAY, AND SITE TO BE BROUGHT UP TO CURRENT STANDARDS OF THE LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION SECTION OF THE CITY'S CODE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE, AS DETERMINED THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE PROCESS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I'M SATISFIED WITH THAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALEXANDRA, DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? VIOLA! I HAVE THE SAME CONCERN THAT YOU HAVE.

I THINK FROM THE RESIDENTS THERE SHOULD BE A WALL BUILT THERE BECAUSE THIS PLANTS IS NOT REALLY GOING TO DO IT.

THERE IS GOING TO BE NOISE MAINTENANCE OF THE PLANT.

IF YOU HAVE A WALL ESTHETICALLY IT SHOULD LOOK BETTER AND ALSO THE NOISE, BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE THOSE TRUCKS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE WELL, I THINK YOU CAN OBTAIN A GOOD BUFFER WITH PROPER LANDSCAPING AND STUFF.

NOW IT DOESN'T MITIGATE THE NOISE.

I LIVE IN AREAS WHERE AND I KNOW THE AREA VERY WELL.

I JUST HAVE TO DRIVE OVER THERE REGULARLY.

I KNOW THE AREA VERY WELL.

WELL, WE'LL LEAVE THAT UP TO THE CITY'S DISCRETION TO SEE WHAT KIND OF BUFFER IS AVAILABLE.

WELL, A WALL IS NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE INDUSTRIAL RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TRAFFIC THAT COMPANY WILL BRING.

WITH SO MANY TRUCKS GOING IN AND OUT, I'M LOOKING AT THE SPACE AND WE'RE LOOKING AT 18.

WAS IT GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT PARKING SPACE IN THAT NARROW ROAD THAT'S BACK THERE? THERE'S CHURCHES BACK THERE.

THERE'S THE SCHOOL BACK THERE.

THERE'S NO SCHOOL ON NORTHWOOD.

IT'S ALL INDUSTRIAL. THE OTHER SIDE ON NORTHWEST 55TH COURT IS ALL INDUSTRIAL, OKAY.

THAT THIS ROAD IS. BUT IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS GOING INTO THAT INDUSTRIAL.

SURE. YEAH. ON PROSPECT.

CORRECT. ON PROSPECT. SO I KNOW REDEEMING WORD IS A CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET.

YOU HAVE REDEEMING WORD ACROSS THE STREET, RIGHT.

I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A SCHOOL.

I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A NEW.

CENTER THAT OPENED AS WELL IN THAT AREA.

SO I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND THE DEBRIS FROM THAT REGARD.

FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO ARE THESE NECESSARILY HAVE A QUESTION PER SE? BUT I JUST AT THIS POINT, I DON'T FEEL.

READY FOR A MOTION FORWARD, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THAT AREA WILL BE CONGESTED AND THAT'S NOT CLEAR TO ME AS TO HOW MANY DUMP TRUCKS WILL BE PARKED, HOW MANY WILL BE GOING IN AND OUT UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU'RE ABLE TO ANSWER THEM? YES. SO TRAFFIC MITIGATION, WHETHER IT'S A LANE OR ADDITIONAL ON SITE CIRCULATION SO THAT THE TRUCKS CAN TURN AROUND INSIDE, IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WOULDN'T BE QUEUED UP ON 55TH.

THAT WILL ALSO BE DONE AT THE TIME OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL, INCLUDING THE WALL, WHICH MY CLIENT HAS ALREADY AGREED TO THE SOUTH.

AND I DID WANT TO ADD ONE MORE THING.

THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT WAS USED ON STAFF'S PRESENTATION IS VERY OLD.

THE SITE'S BEEN CLEANED UP AND THAT'S NO LONGER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

HE DOES MAINTAIN A VERY CLEAN SITE.

THE ONE IN MY PRESENTATION WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN A WEEK AGO AND YOU DO NOT SEE THAT LEVEL OF DEBRIS AND WASTE.

SO WHAT'S THE? IS IT LIKE A FLEET OF TRUCKS THAT'S RENTED BY ONE PERSON? THEY ALL LEAVE OUT 8:00 IN THE MORNING AND THEY COME BACK? OR IS IT INDIVIDUAL PERSONS WHO RENT THESE TRUCKS? AND THEY VARY IN THE TIME THAT THEY ENTER AND LEAVE THE LOT.

SO THE COMPANY OWNS THE TRUCKS, BUT THE DUMPSTERS ARE WHAT THE INDIVIDUALS RENT OUT LIKE A CONSTRUCTION SITE.

YOU LEAVE IT ON THE SITE AND THEN EVERY DAY THE WASTE HAULERS COME UP AND PICK IT UP, DUMP IT AND THEN LEAVE IT THERE WHEN NEEDED.

BUT NORMALLY THE DUMPSTERS HAVE TO STAY ON THE SITE FOR IT TO BE USED.

SO THIS WOULD BE FOR THE EXTRA DUMPSTERS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY RENTED OUT.

RENTED OUT. OKAY.

SO THEY WILL BE PARKED AT NIGHT.

EMPTY. YES, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

SO BASICALLY THIS IS A LOCATION JUST TO KEEP THE DUMPSTERS.

PRETTY MUCH. SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA KEEP NO DEBRIS LIKE YOU GUYS MENTIONED.

CORRECT. SO YOU'RE JUST ACQUIRING LIKE A WAIVER LIKE THE EXTRA SPACE, YOU KNOW, FOR THE PARKING FOR MORE VISIBILITY OR SPACES, SO

[01:40:04]

FORTH. RIGHT. WELL, NOT VISIBILITY, JUST SO THE COMPANY HAS SOMEWHERE TO PUT ITS DUMPSTERS.

OF COURSE. YEAH.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IS THERE A SPECIFIED TIME.

SO FOR EXAMPLE IT IS PERMISSIBLE FOR THE DUMP TRUCK TO COME FULL, BUT THEN BY THE END OF THE DAY HAS TO BE EMPTIED AND PARKED EMPTY.

IS THAT WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING? YES. THEY'RE REQUIRED.

YEAH. ALL THE DUMPSTERS, WASTE CONTAINERS AND VEHICLES ARE REQUIRED TO BE EMPTIED PRIOR TO STORAGE ON THE PLOT.

THERE WILL BE EMPTY WHEN THEY ARRIVE.

YEAH. NO, GARBAGE OR WILL BE STORED ON THE PROPERTY AND DEBRIS.

YEAH, WELL, I STILL HAVE CONCERNS FOR THE HOMES THAT PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ESTHETICS OF JUST A CHAIN LINK FENCE AND ALL THESE TRUCKS THERE, I WOULDN'T WANT TO LIVE THERE AND I'M LOOKING OUT AT THESE TRUCKS AND STUFF.

THIS IS WHY I SAID IF THERE'S A WALL THERE AND THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT LITTLE TRUCKS, THEY'RE NOT THESE ARE BIG TRUCKS AND SO I THINK THAT WE SHOULD TRY TO PROTECT, YOU KNOW, THE OWNERS IN THAT AREA AND I THINK A WALL COULD BE BETTER BECAUSE YOU DID SAY YOU AGREED TO PLACE A WALL.

CORRECT? CORRECT. MY APPLICANT HAS COMMITTED TO PUTTING THAT WALL.

ARE YOU PUTTING A WALL.

YES. OKAY AND YOU WILL HAVE SOME PLANTS OR SOMETHING.

AND LANDSCAPING. YES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE OR DENY? MOTION TO APPROVE.

CAN WE GET A SECOND? I SECOND THE MOTION.

CALL] THE WALL IS THERE AND WITH SOME ESTHETIC PROTECTION FOR THE RESIDENTS.

MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION, WITH CONDITIONS OUTLINED BY STAFF AND AMENDED BY THE BOARD.

PASS 5 TO 0.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

MOVING ON TO ITEM 9B TR14121.
