I DON'T KNOW. SO WE PUT TOGETHER FIRST TIME USING THIS.

THIS IS THE AERIAL. THIS IS MICHAEL. I'M SORRY.

IS YOUR MIC ON? YEAH. PULL IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH. SORRY. BETTER. OH, COOL. OKAY. SO THIS IS AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BUILDING IN QUESTION.

THE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE RIGHT NEAR THAT DIAGONAL PARKING.

THAT'S THE LOCATION. THAT'S A LITTLE STAR SHOWING WHERE IT'S AT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

AND AGAIN. TRYING TO GET TO THAT. OKAY. SO THIS IS LIKE JUST A PROPOSED IDEA OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. THERE'S NO EXTERIOR CHANGES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A AUTOMOTIVE PLAZA SINCE 1980, SINCE ITS CONSTRUCTION.

WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CONTINUE TO USE IT AS AN AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE STATION.

AND REALLY, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS MORE WHEELS, TIRES SHOCKS IN THE SPRING, BASICALLY.

BASICALLY, IT'S REDUCED TO SUSPENSION, WHEELS, TIRES.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO MORE OF A NICHE SPECIALIZED VEHICLE WE SPECIALIZE IN, LIKE THE LIFTED JEEPS, LIFTED TRUCKS, THINGS THAT JUST LOOK COOL WITH NICE LIGHTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

BEAUTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLES FOR CUSTOMERS.

WHAT ELSE DO I GOTTA DO? THAT'S THE SUBJECT FROM THE FRONT.

IT HAS A TWO FRONT ENTRY GARAGES. TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS THE SMALL SHOWROOM.

IT'S THEIR DRIVE THROUGH GARAGES. LET ME SEE.

THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD LOCATION IN BOTH DADE AND BROWARD COUNTY WITH EXISTING BAYS.

NO USED TIRES AT ALL. AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION STEERING.

TO 7 P.M. FROM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. SATURDAYS 9 TO 3 P.M.

WE CLOSED ON SUNDAYS. WE DON'T PLAN TO STORE ANY USE TIRES OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING.

[00:10:02]

WE HAVE THEM REMOVED PRETTY FREQUENTLY. NO, WE DON'T WORK WITH ANY KIND OF LIQUIDS THAT WOULD REQUIRE DERM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT WE'RE WILLING TO PUT WHATEVER NECESSARY THAT DERM WOULD REQUIRE.

WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE, BUT WE'VE THE WE'RE NOT USING OIL CHANGES OR NOTHING LIKE THAT.

SO BASICALLY JUST THE WHEELS TIRES, SUSPENSION AND THAT'S THAT.

NO, IT'S JUST THAT. THAT'S THE STANDARD OF APPROVAL THAT WE ADDED IN THERE. AND I THINK WE COVERED PRETTY MUCH ALL THIS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE.

OH, THIS IS THE SITE PLAN. THIS IS THE DRAWING WE FOUND IN PUBLIC RECORD.

NOT MUCH, IT'S NOT CHANGING. JUST GOING TO INSTALL A COUPLE OF LIFTS AND ALIGNMENT RACK AND A COMPRESSOR TO HAVE COMPRESSED AIR.

THAT WOULD BE THE EXTENT OF IT. THERE'S THREE GARAGES ON THE BACK.

THERE'S TWO FOR THE FLOW THROUGH AND ONE SMALL ONE THERE IN THE LITTLE AREA ACTUALLY.

LASER POINTER RIGHT THERE IN THAT AREA THERE.

THAT'S THE THIRD GARAGE. THIS IS SAMPLES OF SOME OF OUR BUILDINGS AND SOME OF THE STUFF WE DO.

SO ANYTHING ELSE? I BELIEVE THAT'S IT. ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER FOR YOU GUYS OR CONCERNS? OKAY. THANK YOU. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE CITY'S PRESENTATIONS BECAUSE THAT NORMALLY ANSWERS MOST OF MY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, CHRISTIAN.

SONNY'S BEEN WASHING CARS SINCE 1949. THEY BEGAN MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT IN 1978 AND HAVE SINCE EXPANDED TO 20 STATES WITH OVER 15,000 EMPLOYEES.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR ONE SIGN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

ONE SIGN ON THE NORTH ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING.

AGAIN, THIS IS A NON-ILLUMINATED WALL SIGN WE'RE ASKING FOR.

WE WERE ALSO HERE BACK IN 2022, WHERE WE HAD ASKED FOR THE SAME VARIANCE FOR THEIR OTHER LOCATION.

AND THAT LOCATION HERE IS ON THE CORNER OF HIATUS AND STATE STREET.

CODE OF ORDINANCES. THIS IS A VARIANCE REQUEST IN RELIEF TO ALLOW FOR TWO FACADE SIGNS PER STREET FRONTAGE ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION, IN LIEU OF THE PERMITTED ONE FACADE SIGN PER STREET FRONTAGE TO BREAK UP THE LARGE EXPANSES OF THE FACADE SURFACE AREA ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION.

THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS INDUSTRIAL.

THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION IS BP BUSINESS PARK ZONING DISTRICT, AND THE COMMISSION DISTRICT IS GOVERNED BY NUMBER TWO COMMISSIONER MAURY WRIGHT.

SITE INFORMATION. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND NORTH HIATUS ROAD AT 5601 NORTH HIATUS ROAD.

ON A STANDALONE PARCEL, THE NEW DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION IN THE YEAR 2000 FOR A NEW TWO STORY OFFICE BUILDING.

IT WAS OCCUPIED BY CONVERGYS CORPORATION FROM 2001 TO 2017.

LATER A FEDERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION OFFICE FROM 2019 TO 2001 OCCUPIED THE SPACE.

A SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION IN 2022 FOR A NEW ONE STORY INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING IN 2024.

THE BUILDING AND SITE DEVELOPMENT WERE COMPLETED AND GRANTED A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

SONNY'S CAR WASH FACTORY HAS OCCUPIED THE SPACE FROM 2023 TO PRESENT.

THESE ARE STREET PHOTOS FACING WESTBOUND COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD GOING TOWARDS THE SAWGRASS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS AN A MAJOR AMOUNT OF EXISTING MATURE TREES LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING FACING THE SOUTH ELEVATION, FACING WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN BOTH PHOTOS, ONE IS ON THE CORNER, THE NORTHWEST CORNER AGAIN OF HIATUS ROAD AND COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

THE OTHER ONE IS CONTINUING GOING DOWN THE STREET. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PHOTO AS WELL, THESE ARE VERY MATURE EXISTING TREES THAT ARE ALSO YOU KNOW, RESTRICTING THE VIEW FROM A STREET VIEW OF THE BUILDING.

AND THESE TWO PHOTOS ARE THE EASTBOUND COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD PHOTOS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, IT'S RESTRICTING VIEWPOINTS FROM THE ROADWAYS.

THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE BUILDING. THE BUILDING ITSELF IS SET AT 777 776FT ACROSS. SIGN ONE LOCATION WILL BE LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

SIGN LOCATION. SIGN NUMBER TWO'S LOCATION WILL BE LOCATED TO THE RIGHT OF THE BUILDING.

THE REASON WE ARE HERE AGAIN IS FOR SECTION 10-4.10, SUBSECTION E2A, TABLE 10-4.12 FACADE SIGN STANDARDS. THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM SIGNAGE IS 31IN FOR THE BUSINESS, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING 42 INCHES, MAINLY FOR THE LOGO, WHICH IS THEIR MAIN LOGO FOR THE TEARDROP.

IT'S IDENTIFIED AS THREE FEET, SIX INCHES, WHICH EQUALS 42IN THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.

[00:30:07]

AND PETITION NUMBER TWO IS TO BREAK UP. WAIT.

PETITION NUMBER TWO IS SECTION TEN DASH 4.10, SUBSECTION D3F1.

CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR FACADE SIGNS. SO IT'S TWO FOR SINGLE TENANT.

FOR SINGLE TENANT STANDALONE BUILDINGS, ONE FACADE SIGN PER STREET FRONTAGE IS ALLOWED.

IN NO INSTANCE SHALL THERE BE MORE THAN ONE FACADE SIGN PER FACADE.

AS YOU CAN SEE AGAIN THE TWO SIGN LOCATIONS, ONE LOCATED ALL THE WAY TO THE WEST AND ONE LOCATED ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST OF THE BUILDING. THIS IS THE VARIANCE. PURPOSE. THE PURPOSE OF A VARIANCE IS TO ALLOW FOR CERTAIN DEVIATIONS FROM THE STANDARDS OF THIS CODE.

WHEN THE LANDOWNER DEMONSTRATES THAT OWING TO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS BEYOND THE LANDOWNER'S CONTROL, THE LITERAL APPLICATION OF THE STANDARDS WILL RESULT IN UNDUE AND UNIQUE HARDSHIP TO THE LANDOWNER, AND THE DEVIATION WOULD NOT BE CONTRARY TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST PRESENTED IN FRONT OF YOU ARE THE GENERAL REVIEW STANDARDS FROM SECTION TEN 5.4, SUBSECTION Q4. THERE ARE EIGHT REVIEW STANDARDS THAT ARE TO BE ADDRESSED AND ABIDED BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS, AND IT IS, IN THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE GENERAL REVIEW STANDARDS FOR THE VARIANCES HAVE BEEN MET.

THE 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR VARIANCE REQUEST 1B25 AND 2B25.

THIS ITEM SUPPORTS GOAL NUMBER FOUR OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN.

TAMARAC IS VIBRANT BY APPLYING LAND DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF THE CITY'S BUSINESS PARTNERS AND ADDRESSING UNIQUE CHALLENGES THAT FACE EXISTING STRUCTURES AND COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AREAS.

THE APPROVAL OF THE TWO VARIANCES ARE JUSTIFIED AND NECESSARY, AND WILL ALLOW FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND THE BEST INTERESTS OF BOTH THE CITY OF TAMARAC AND SONNY'S CAR WASH FACTORY. IN FRONT OF YOU IS 2019 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR THE TWO VARIANCE RELEASE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING POLICIES OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH ARE. FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT, OBJECTIVE ONE, POLICY 1.3 AND FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OBJECTIVE ONE, POLICY 1.4. BOTH POLICIES ARE PROVIDED WITHIN THE.

BOTH POLICIES ARE PROVIDED WITHIN THE PROVIDED STAFF MEMORANDUM.

ITEM NINE B, RECOMMENDATION. THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE TWO PROPOSED VARIANCE REQUESTS FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 10- 4.10 SIGNS OF THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS JUNE 25TH, 2025 MEETING. THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ONE QUESTION IS THIS A PERMANENT STRUCTURE OR CAN IT BE REMOVED IN THE EVENT OF A HURRICANE? THE SIGN ITSELF. THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT.

IT'S A NON-ILLUMINATED SIGN. SO IT'S VERY, VERY THIN.

AND IT IS UP THERE. IT'S ENGINEERED PER CODE AND WE'LL HAVE ENGINEERING TO SUPPORT THAT WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS.

SO IN THE EVENT OF A HURRICANE IN THE IN THE EVENT OF THE HURRICANE, I CAN TELL YOU THE ROOF WOULD PROBABLY FALL IN BEFORE THIS SIGN COMES DOWN.

OKAY. IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE. TRUST ME. IF I MAY ADD, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCOPE OF WORK, IT SAYS FABRICATED AND INSTALLED ONE SET OF TWO INCH DEEP NON-ILLUMINATED FABRICATED ALUMINUM LETTERS, PIN MOUNTED TO THE BUILDING.

SO, I MEAN, THERE'S GOING TO HAVE SCREWS AND THERE'S GOING TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY CLOSE TO THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING OR ATTACHED.

I HAVE A QUESTION. CAN YOU BE SO KIND TO CLARIFY THE STANDARD? I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY THAT THE SIGN MAXIMUM SIZE WAS 31IN, AND IT'S BEING REQUESTED FOR 42.

YES. SO HOW WE USE THE FACADE SIGN STANDARDS IS BASED ON THE RIGHT OF WAY WIDTH.

SO COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD IS MEASURED BETWEEN 100 AND 121 TO 200FT, WHICH RESULTS IN A 28 INCH PERMITTED MAXIMUM.

HOWEVER, THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 150FT AWAY FROM THE ROADWAY.

YOU ARE BONUSED ONE ADDITIONAL INCH PER EVERY 50FT.

THE BUILDING IS AWAY FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY. THEREFORE YOU ADD 3 20 PLUS THREE IS 31.

THAT'S THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM. THEY'RE PROPOSING 42.

AND THOSE CALCULATIONS WERE APPROVED BY THE CITY OBVIOUSLY WITH YOUR RECOMMENDATION, I SUPPOSE.

YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

NO. WELL, I DO THINK THAT IF THERE'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, IT WOULD BE THIS BUILDING BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH AND THE.

YOU DIDN'T MENTION THE BUILDING HEIGHT. WHAT'S THE BUILDING HEIGHT? I'M NOT SURE THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE PROJECT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. ALL RIGHT, SO NOW WE'RE OPEN TO PUBLIC HEARING.

[00:35:11]

SEEING NONE, WE ARE CLOSED FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY. CAN WE MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM? CAN WE MOVE FOR A MOTION? APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM? MOTION FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF THIS ITEM.

A SECOND. COULD YOU REPEAT THE MOTION, PLEASE? I MOTION FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF THIS ITEM? NO, NO. RIGHT. FIRST TIME APPROVAL. THAT ITEM.

ALL RIGHT. OF APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM. MOTION TO APPROVE FOR ALEXANDRA.

AND WHOSE SECOND? SECOND. OH, OKAY.

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

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. SAJEEN.

I APOLOGIZE, JUST TO ADD ON THE PHOTO THAT WAS THERE, IT SAID THAT THE BUILDING HEIGHT IS 47FT, SIX INCHES. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW BE GOING TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, PUBLIC HEARING.

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

WE CAN NOW HAVE THE STAFF PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I'M CAROLINE FRANCES ROYER, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER.

TODAY I'M GOING TO BE DISCUSSING THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND THE SUBSEQUENT ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.

HUD PROGRAMS PRESCRIBE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY DEEM ELIGIBLE UNDER CDBG.

WE HAVE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, PUBLIC FACILITIES, REHABILITATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ACQUISITION, AND PUBLIC SERVICES. UNDER THE HOME PROGRAM, ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT BUILDINGS HOUSING FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, FIRST TIME HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE, HOUSING, REHABILITATION, AND TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE.

TO IMPLEMENT. TO IMPLEMENT THESE ACTIVITIES, A FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN IS REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED AND APPROVED BY HUD AND THEN THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN SUBSEQUENTLY.

SO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN HAS FIVE MAJOR COMPONENTS.

THE FIRST IS A NEEDS ASSESSMENT, A MARKET ANALYSIS, A STRATEGIC PLAN WHERE THE GOALS ARE DEVELOPED FOR THAT FIVE YEAR PERIOD, AN ANNUAL ACTION PLAN TO IMPLEMENT THOSE GOALS, AND THEN CITIZEN PARTICIPATION, WHICH MEANS GETTING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED AND ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS FOR THIS YEAR. THIS UPCOMING YEAR, WE HAVE AND 96,342 FOR CDBG AND FOR THE HOME FUNDS WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF 152,000, WHICH IS THE CURRENT YEAR'S AMOUNT.

[00:40:03]

WE HAVEN'T HAD THE UPDATED AMOUNT FOR NEXT YEAR YET.

SO THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROVIDES A FOUNDATION FOR OUR TARGETED INVESTMENTS TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND AREAS.

AND IT ENSURES THAT OUR INVESTMENT ALIGN WITH FEDERAL OBJECTIVES, WHICH IS THE NATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR CDBG, WHICH IS ASSISTING LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND ALSO PREVENTING SOME SLUM AND BLIGHT AND ADDRESSING URGENT NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS DEVELOPED BASED ON SOURCES SUCH AS THE HUD DATA, CENSUS DATA AND ALSO THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND STATISTICS. THIS SLIDE SUMMARIZED THE PROCESS.

VISUALLY, THE FIRST STEP IS FOR THE JURISDICTION TO DEVELOP THE PLAN.

WE HAVE BEEN TAKING STEPS IN GETTING COMMUNITY FEEDBACK BASED ON WHAT THE CONSULTANT RECOMMENDED.

SO THE FIRST STEP THAT THEY WENT THROUGH WAS A NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE WHAT'S NEEDED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WHAT DOES THE HOUSING MARKET LOOK LIKE? THE STRATEGIC GOALS WERE DEVELOPED, AND I'LL DISCUSS THAT IN A MINUTE.

AND WE CREATED AN ACTION PLAN FOR THE FIRST YEAR.

AND WE'VE SCHEDULED QUITE A BIT OF COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES.

AND ALSO WE'VE PUT OUT A SURVEY WHICH I WILL ALSO DISCUSS IN A MINUTE.

AND THEN THE SECOND STEP IS THAT THE PLAN WILL GO BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION TO, TO BE APPROVED AND THEN SUBMITTED TO HUD.

THE CITY DOES NOT DIRECTLY SUBMIT TO HUD. WE SUBMIT TO THE COUNTY BECAUSE WE'RE PART OF THE HOME CONSORTIUM, AND THEN THE CONSORTIUM SUBMITS TO HUD AS A WHOLE.

SO THE STRATEGIC GOALS FOR THIS CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

IDENTIFIES PUBLIC SERVICE AS A PRIORITY QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.

IT ADDRESSES AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRESERVATION OR DEVELOPMENT AND THEN EFFECTIVE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT.

THOSE ARE THE THREE GOALS THAT OUR PLAN IS LOOKING TO ADDRESS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

FOR THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR 2025. WE HAVE AN ESTIMATED BUDGET HERE WHERE WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, PUBLIC SERVICES AND HOUSING REHABILITATION.

AND LIKEWISE FOR THE HOME FUNDS THAT WE GET THROUGH THE COUNTY, WE ARE GOING TO USE THAT FOR HOUSING REHABILITATION, AS WE'VE BEEN DOING IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IS A MAJOR PART OF DEVELOPING THE PLAN, AND WE HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF USING OUR DISTRICT MEETINGS TO DISTRIBUTE SURVEYS TO OUR RESIDENTS. THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD AT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING ON MAY 22ND AT 3 P.M.

THE NEXT PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE AT THE CITY COMMISSION MEETING ON JULY 9TH WHEN WE SEEK APPROVAL.

AND WE ENCOURAGE ALL STAKEHOLDERS, RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE.

SO THERE'S A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD THAT CONCLUDES ON JULY 9TH, WHEN A CITY COMMISSION WILL APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

HERE'S A SCHEDULE OF ALL THE DISTRICT MEETINGS WHERE WE DISTRIBUTED SURVEYS.

AND YOU CAN SEE ON HERE WE HAVE A NUMBER OF RESPONSES FOR THE SURVEY RESULTS.

THE SURVEY RESULTS INDICATED THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AMONG RESIDENTS WHICH MEANS EITHER PRESERVATION OR DEVELOPMENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH THESE FUNDS.

THE SECOND PRIORITY IS PUBLIC SERVICES, WHICH WE HAVE BEEN DOING OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

WE'VE PARTNERED WITH WOMEN IN DISTRESS. MEALS ON WHEELS AND VOICES OF CHILDREN OF BROWARD TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS. WE ALSO IDENTIFIED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AS A PRIORITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

SO JUST TO BREAK DOWN THE SURVEY RESPONSES BY ETHNICITY, WE HAVE THIS CHART HERE.

[00:45:09]

SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PREDOMINANT RESPONSES CAME FROM WHITES AND CAUCASIANS.

BLACKS AND AFRICAN AMERICAN AND OTHER RACES ARE VERY FEW.

SOME FOLKS DECIDED NOT TO IDENTIFY THEIR RACES, AND ANY QUESTION IN THE SURVEY CAN ACTUALLY BE SKIPPED.

SO SOME FOLKS OPT TO SKIP ETHNICITY. ALSO, HERE ARE OTHER RESULTS FROM THE SURVEY. YOU SEE THE BREAKDOWN BY AGE. THE MAJORITY OF THE RESPONSES CAME FROM 65 AND OLDER.

AND THEN ALSO YOU CAN SEE THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF THE RESPONSES.

AND AGAIN ANY QUESTION COULD HAVE BEEN SKIPPED.

AND HERE IS A QR CODE THAT WE ENCOURAGE ALL OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND RESIDENTS TO ALSO PARTICIPATE IN.

IT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SURVEY WHICH FOCUS ON ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE DOING BUSINESS IN THE CITY OR HAS AN INTEREST IN THE CITY.

SO I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO ALSO PARTICIPATE.

THAT IS ON OUR WEBSITE, ON THE HOUSING PAGE. TAMARAC.ORG/HOUSING.

AND JUST TO WRAP UP AGAIN THE BIG PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN IS BASICALLY GETTING PUBLIC INPUT AND THE TWO REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARINGS. AGAIN, PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS OPEN UNTIL JULY 9TH.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE AND PROVIDE ANY KIND OF COMMENT THAT YOU WOULD FEEL IS BENEFICIAL FOR US TO BRING THE FINAL PRODUCT TO THE CITY COMMISSION. AND THE SUBMISSION DATE IS AUGUST 15TH.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT YOU FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL OF OUR CONSOLIDATED PLAN IN THE FINAL FORMAT. AND THAT'S IT FOR MY PRESENTATION.

ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH. CAN WE OPEN PUBLIC HEARING? NO. AM I GOING BACK? PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? YEAH. ONE QUESTION.

SO THE FUNDS THAT ARE ALLOCATED, THOSE ARE FOR THE FOR FUTURE RESIDENTS.

THE NUMBERS YOU GAVE I CAN'T REMEMBER. I THINK IT WAS 496 AND 152.

THOSE FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED FOR THE FUTURE RESIDENTS OR CURRENT RESIDENTS OR THOSE IN FOR RESEARCH FUNDS.

NO, IT'S FOR THE ACTIVITIES. IT'S FOR HOUSING, REHABILITATION AND PUBLIC SERVICES FOR 2025.

YEAH. THAT'S JUST THE ANNUAL ALLOCATION. SO ANYONE WHO'S IN TAMARAC HAS ACCESS TO THESE? YES, YES, THEY CAN APPLY FOR THESE FUNDS. THE PUBLIC SERVICE FUNDS ARE SUB GRANTED TO ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATION. THE HOUSING REHABILITATION IS PROVIDED DIRECTLY THROUGH THE CITY.

OKAY. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS 152. OH, THE HOME FUNDS? YES. HOME FUNDS WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY AS A PART OF THE HOME CONSORTIUM.

OKAY. OKAY. SO WE ARE VOTING ON MOVING THIS TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

TO THE CITY COMMISSION, JULY 9TH. JULY 9TH. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND WE ARE STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE OF THE PLAN, SINCE WE STILL HAVE ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH OR SO.

SO WE ENCOURAGE ANY FEEDBACK OF THE DRAFT PLAN SO THAT WE CAN INCLUDE IT.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAD. SO THE DEADLINE ISN'T UNTIL AUGUST IS IT? 15TH. AUGUST 15TH, YES IS THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION TO HUD.

WE HAVE TO HAVE IT TO THE COUNTY BY THE END OF JULY.

SO WHAT DATE IN JULY IS THAT? USUALLY JULY 31ST WE HAVE TO HAVE IT TO THE COUNTY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET ALL THE CONSORTIUM MEMBERS PLANS FOR SUBMITTAL TO HUD.

BUT THE COMMISSION GOES ON RECESS, SO WE ALWAYS PUT THE ACTION PLANS ON THE FIRST MEETING IN JULY, WHICH IS JULY 9TH FOR THIS YEAR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO ASK FOR A MOTION TO MOVE THE ITEM TO THE CITY COMMISSION MEETING.

[00:50:01]

ROB JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE APPLICANT ON MONDAY REQUESTING TO WITHDRAW THE ITEM AND CANCEL THE APPLICATION.

SO. SO THE ITEM HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN AND I WILL ENTER THE THE EMAIL INTO THE RECORD.

OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND WE ALSO HAD SOMEONE HERE FROM THE PUBLIC WILLING TO SPEAK ON THIS ONE, SO WE'LL WITHDRAW THAT AS WELL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ATTENDING.

NO. NO. IT'S BEEN WITHDRAWN. SO IT'S NOT BEING BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD.

I THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE BECAUSE WE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING.

SO IF WE HAD, SHE COULD HAVE TALKED THEN. BUT SINCE WE DIDN'T, I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO GO AHEAD AND SPEAK.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU CAN COME FORWARD. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

GOOD MORNING MEMBERS I'M DIANE SPENCE. I LIVE IN THE KINGS POINT COMMUNITY.

WHAT OTHER INFORMATION IDENTIFYING INFORMATION DO YOU NEED FROM ME? IS THERE ANY MADAM? WELL, KINGSPORT COMMUNITY IS OKAY.

SO MY CLARIFICATION IS SIMPLE. SHOULD THIS COME UP AGAIN IN OUR COMMUNITY, I WOULD LIKE STAFF TO EXPLAIN HOW MULTIFAMILY DESIGNATION WOULD ALLOW FOR WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY COMMERCIAL USE THAT WAY IN THE FUTURE. WE CAN THERE'S GREAT OPPOSITION IN THE COMMUNITY AGAINST THIS.

THIS IS WHY IT'S BEEN WITHDRAWN. THERE WAS NO PUBLIC MEETING IN ADVANCE.

SO I'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND BETTER THE PROCESS SO I CAN EXPLAIN TO MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS HOW THIS EVEN GOT TO THE PLANNING BOARD WHEN THE DESIGNATION ITSELF SEEMS INCORRECT. SO THE REQUEST WAS FOR RC DESIGNATION TO BE CHANGED TO AN R3, WHICH IS STILL A MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO WAS A MEDICAL CLINIC, WHICH TO ME WOULD BE MULTI-USE, WHICH IS MU. SO I WONDERED IF STAFF COULD EXPLAIN HOW SUCH A FACILITY COULD BE USED IN OTHER IN AN R THREE DESIGNATION IF THIS WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD? SURE. IF I MAY RESPOND. IF I MAY RESPOND, AND I WANT ON THE RECORD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. THE DESIGNATION IS THE CORRECT DESIGNATION, AND SINCE ROBB DOES NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS, I DON'T BELIEVE. ROBB, DO YOU HAVE ANY? YOU HAVE?

[00:55:05]

YEAH. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE CAN. YEAH. WE WILL TALK WITH YOU OFFLINE ONCE WE ARE DONE WITH THE AGENDA.

AND THEN ROBB WILL SPEAK TO YOU REGARDING THAT.

OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M GOING JUST FOR THE RECORD, I'M GOING BY THE DOCUMENTS PULLED FROM THE CITY OF TAMARAC SITE, WHICH STATES SPECIFICALLY RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY IN MULTIFAMILY.

UNLESS THESE DOCUMENTS NEEDED TO BE UPDATED ONLINE AND I HAVE THEM HERE.

YEAH, IT WOULD BE IN OUR PERMITTED USE CHART, WHICH IS THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU ACCESS THAT.

THAT CODE HAS A LIST OF USES THAT ARE PERMISSIBLE IN THAT ZONING DESIGNATION.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT CHART, YOU'LL SEE THAT THAT USES PERMISSIBLE IN THAT DESIGNATION.

BUT SINCE ROB HAS THE ITEMS, I CAN JUST YEAH, I'LL JUST MEET WITH YOU IN THE BACK AND JUST SHARE THAT CHART WITH YOU SO MUCH.

NOT A PROBLEM. OKAY. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM EIGHT C,

[8.c TO2593 - An ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, terminating “Zoning in Progress” by amending Chapter 10, Article 3, Section 10-3.2, entitled “Table of Allowed Uses”, of the City of Tamarac Land Development Code, specifically Table 10-3.1: allowed uses, to remove “Funeral Home” as a permitted use from the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MU-N) and Mixed Use Commercial (MU-C) zoning districts and continue to permit “Funeral Home” as a use type within the Business Park (BP) and Public Facilities (PF) zoning districts; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

TO2593. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA.

TERMINATING ZONING IN PROGRESS BY AMENDING CHAPTER TEN, ARTICLE THREE, SECTION TEN 3.2, ENTITLED TABLE OF ALLOWED USES AND THE CITY OF TAMARAC. LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES.

SPECIFICALLY, TABLE TEN 3.1 ALLOWED USES TO REMOVE FUNERAL HOME AS A PERMITTED USE FROM THE MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD.

MUN AND MIXED USE COMMERCIAL, MUC, ZONING DISTRICTS AND CONTINUE TO PERMIT FUNERAL HOME AS A USE TYPE WITHIN THE BUSINESS PARK AND PUBLIC FACILITIES. ZONING DISTRICT PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WE WILL NOW HAVE STAFF PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD FOR THE RECORD, ANN JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. AS INDICATED IN THE TITLE, THE ITEM BEING BROUGHT FORWARD TO YOU TODAY IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE TEXT OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING THE USE OF FUNERAL HOMES.

SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND SOME HISTORY REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

THE CITY BEGAN THE PROCESS OF AMENDING ITS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BACK IN THE SPRING OF 2023, AND YOU MAY RECALL THAT LAST MONTH'S PRESENTATION TOUCHED ON OUR ABILITY TO DO THAT, AND ALSO TO BRING THAT ITEM FORWARD TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT A LATER HEARING.

HOWEVER, IN THE RECENT MONTHS, THERE HAS BEEN AN UPTICK IN INQUIRIES FOR FUNERAL HOMES, AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE PERMITS FUNERAL HOMES CURRENTLY IN OUR MIXED USE CORRIDORS. AND SO, AGAIN, TOUCHING BACK ON OUR VISION FOR THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE IDEAS FOR THE CITY TO UTILIZE THOSE CORRIDORS TO MAKE THEM VIBRANT, TO MAKE THEM EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, ATTRACT CERTAIN BUSINESSES. WE WANT TO MAKE THEM WALKABLE AND MORE ECONOMICALLY ROBUST.

SO AT THIS TIME, THIS TEXT AMENDMENT IS BEING PROPOSED TO BETTER ALIGN THE FUNERAL HOME USE WITH THE USES THAT ARE IN THE USE CHART FOR THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. AND ON FEBRUARY 19TH, 2025, THE CITY MANAGER TOOK ACTION AND ISSUED AN ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER WHICH ISSUED ZONING IN PROGRESS, AND THIS PARTICULAR PROCESS PROHIBITED THE CITY FROM ACCEPTING THE SUBMISSION, OR EVEN TO PROCESS OR APPROVE ANY FURTHER FUNERAL HOMES UNTIL CITY STAFF HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXAMINE THE MOST APPROPRIATE ZONING DISTRICTS IN WHICH TO PLACE THIS USE. AND THEN THE CITY COMMISSION RATIFIED THAT ORDER WITH TEMPORARY RESOLUTION 14225 OF FORMING, AFFIRMING THAT PARTICULAR ORDER SO THAT WE COULD KEEP THAT ZONING IN PROGRESS IN PLACE AS WE STUDY THE PLACEMENT OF THESE USES.

JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE BACKGROUND. SO AGAIN, RIGHT NOW, FUNERAL HOMES, THEY ARE PERMITTED IN THE MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT AND THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR DISTRICT. THEY'RE ALSO PERMITTED IN THE BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT, AND THEY ARE ALSO PERMITTED IN THE PUBLIC FACILITIES ZONING DISTRICT.

AND THE INTENTION, AGAIN, OF THE MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICTS IS TO FOSTER THAT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO SEE WITH MORE RETAIL RESTAURANT, THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT THE CITY HAD OUTLINED IN ITS 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO TO THAT END, FUNERAL HOMES DON'T NECESSARILY ALIGN WITH THE USE OF THESE CORRIDORS BECAUSE OF THEIR OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS.

AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE PURSUING THIS TEXT AMENDMENT FOR THEIR REASSIGNMENT INTO THESE ZONING DISTRICTS.

SO JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE FROM A GEOGRAPHIC STANDPOINT, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE MAP BEFORE YOU,

[01:00:05]

THERE ARE AT THE MOMENT ABOUT 17 TOTAL FUNERAL HOMES WITHIN ANY FIVE MILE DIRECTION FROM THE MUNICIPAL BORDERS OF TAMARAC. SO THE RED DOTS WITH THE WHITE CIRCLE IN THE MIDDLE, THOSE ARE JUST GOING TO BE FUNERAL HOMES THAT ARE IN OUR SURROUNDING MUNICIPALITIES. AND THEN THE THREE WITH THE YELLOW STARS, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE THREE LOCATIONS IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

AND WHAT YOU'LL ALSO NOTE IS THAT THE THREE LOCATIONS IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC ARE ON OUR MAIN CORRIDORS.

THE CORRIDORS THAT WE ARE TARGETING FOR REDEVELOPMENT.

AND SO AGAIN, THIS TEXT AMENDMENT IS BEING PROPOSED TO BETTER ALIGN THESE USES IN AREAS THAT ARE MORE APPROPRIATE FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT. YOU CAN ALSO SEE HOW THIS LOOKS AS WELL.

THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR ON MCNAB ROAD, WHICH IS BEING TARGETED FOR REDEVELOPMENT.

THE OTHER MIXED USE CORRIDOR ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

AGAIN, ANOTHER AREA THAT'S BEING TARGETED FOR REDEVELOPMENT, AND ALSO ALONG STATE ROAD SEVEN, WHERE THE CITY HAS PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED PROPERTY AND THAT IT IS ALSO ALIGNING FOR REDEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

SO JUST TO IDENTIFY THOSE LOCATIONS, YOU'LL SEE ONE, TWO AND THREE AND THE NAMES AND THE ADDRESS OF THOSE FUNERAL HOME LOCATIONS ARE ALSO INDICATED ON THE ZONING MAP AS WELL. SO THIS IS A LOOK AT OUR USE TABLE AS IT IS PRESENTED IN OUR CURRENT LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. IN THE PARTICULAR COLUMNS YOU WILL SEE WHERE THE P IS IN RED AND STRUCK THROUGH.

THAT IS WHERE WE ARE PROPOSING TO REMOVE THE FUNERAL HOME USE FROM THE MIXED USE DISTRICTS.

AND WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO REMAIN IN THE BUSINESS PARKS, IN THE PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICTS WHERE THOSE USES MORE CLOSELY ALIGN TO OTHER USES THAT ARE IN THOSE ZONING DISTRICTS. THE CHARACTERISTICS IN ADDITION TO FUNERAL HOMES UPON STAFF'S EXAMINATION.

THEY DON'T PROMOTE CROSS PATRONAGE. AND SO THE IDEA IN OUR MIXED USE DISTRICTS, WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE FOOT TRAFFIC, RETAIL ACTIVITY. WE WANT SYNERGY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE USES ARE INTERTWINED WITH EACH OTHER, AND SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE VIBRANT AND HAVE A GREAT ECONOMIC MIX.

AND AS YOU SEE FROM THE CHARACTERISTICS LISTED FOR THE FUNERAL HOME, THOSE CHARACTERISTICS DON'T NECESSARILY ALIGN WITH THE IDEA FOR THE MIXED USE DISTRICT PLAZAS. THIS IS BACK FROM OUR 2040 COMP PLAN PRESENTATION.

SO AGAIN, WE PRESENTED SOME KEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES.

AND SO THIS TEXT AMENDMENT ULTIMATELY ALIGNS WITH THOSE KEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES, WHAT WE WANT TO DO IN TRANSFORMING OUR ECONOMIC KEY CORRIDORS, REPURPOSING OUR VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, AND AGAIN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING NEW INDUSTRIES AND ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO HELP MAKE TAMARAC MORE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE.

IN ADDITION, THIS ITEM ALSO SUPPORTS THE POLICY OF THE FORTHCOMING 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1.4, WHICH OUTLINES THAT THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO ADOPT PRO-GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT FRIENDLY BUSINESS PROGRAMS BY AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO FOSTER GROWTH OF VIBRANT ECONOMIC CORRIDORS AND SHOWN ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU ARE THE REVIEW STANDARDS TO PERMIT THE TEXT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. AND IT IS ALSO THE OPINION OF STAFF AND THE DIRECTOR THAT THESE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN MET.

WITH THAT IN CONCLUSION, THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FOR TEMPORARY ORDINANCE 2593, AMENDING THE TEXT OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO PERMIT FUNERAL HOME AS A USE TYPE TO EXCUSE ME.

TO PROHIBIT FUNERAL HOME AS A USE TYPE WITHIN THE MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR ZONING DISTRICTS, AND PERMIT THE FUNERAL HOME AS A USE TYPE WITHIN THE BUSINESS PARK AND THE PUBLIC FACILITIES ZONING DISTRICT ON FIRST READING AT ITS JUNE 11TH, 2025 MEETING. AND ON SECOND READING AT ITS JUNE 25TH, 2025 MEETING.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU. ONE QUESTION, ONE IF APPROVED ON THE SECOND READING, WHEN WILL THIS BE EFFECTIVE? IT WILL BE EFFECTIVE UPON THE APPROVAL. OKAY.

AND JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW MANY APPLICATIONS DID YOU RECEIVE FOR THE FUNERAL HOMES?

[01:05:03]

WE DON'T HAVE ANY FORMAL APPLICATIONS, BUT WE'VE FIELDED A NUMBER OF PHONE INQUIRIES THAT WOULD HAVE LED TO APPLICATIONS WHICH PROMPTED THE CITY TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE IN UNDERTAKING THE ZONING IN PROGRESS AND THEN THE TEXT AMENDMENT.

OKAY. AND TO EXPLAIN THE ZONING IN PROGRESS, IT'S JUST THAT YOU PLACED A HOLD ON APPLICATIONS UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT.

YES, THAT IS CORRECT. SO WE PLACE A HOLD ON APPLICATIONS SO THAT WE CAN EXAMINE THE USE, AND THEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE ZONING CODE TO DETERMINE THE BEST MANNER IN WHICH TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. ABSOLUTELY.

WE DO SUCH A GREAT JOB. YES, SIR. AND THANK YOU FOR BEING PROACTIVE CITY.

SO THE CURRENT FUNERAL HOMES, ARE ANY OF THEM IN MIXED USE? YES. SO ALL OF THE CURRENT FUNERAL HOMES ARE IN MIXED USE.

WHEN, IF AND WHEN THIS AMENDMENT PASSES, THEY WILL ALLOW THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN THEIR SAME CONDITION PROVIDED THAT THEIR BUSINESS LICENSE IS MAINTAINED. SO THEY WOULD BE GRANDFATHERED IN.

YES, YOU CAN SAY GRANDFATHER, BUT TYPICALLY WHAT WE SAY IT'S A PERMITTED USE.

IT WILL BE IT WILL BECOME NONCONFORMING. THAT'S THE TECHNICAL TERM.

IT WILL BE NONCONFORMING. PROVIDED THAT AGAIN, THEY HAVE TO KEEP THEIR BUSINESS LICENSE CURRENT AND THEY CAN REMAIN IN THAT LOCATION.

AND THAT IS WHAT WE FIND WITH FUNERAL HOMES. THEY TYPICALLY REMAIN IN THEIR LOCATION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

BUT IF THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO MOVE, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO.

IF THEY WANTED TO RELOCATE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO RELOCATE TO THE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT WE HAVE ASSIGNED.

AND A NEW FUNERAL HOME CANNOT OCCUPY THAT BUILDING BECAUSE THEN IT WILL.

THAT IS CORRECT UNLESS THE BUSINESS LICENSE IS TRANSFERRED AND MAINTAINED.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO NO MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. ALL RIGHT.

CAN WE HAVE A I'M SORRY, COLLETTE PUBLIC HEARING.

OH, I'LL OPEN PUBLIC HEARING. SEEING NONE. PUBLIC HEARING.

SEEING NONE. PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. OKAY. CAN WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THIS ITEM TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

I MOTION? I SECOND. ALEXANDRA ALVAREZ. YES. SAJEEN BELL-CLARK. YES. MARA ENGLISH.

YES. ATHERLY SOLMON. YES. JUDY HUNTER. YES. MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION PASSED 5 TO 0.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GUYS. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM EIGHT D.

[8.d TO2594 - An ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, amending Chapter 10 of the city’s code of ordinances, entitled “Land Development Code,” by amending Article 2, entitled “Zoning Districts,” and specifically Section 10-2.7(C), entitled “Woodlands Overlay District,” to provide for the extension of the termination date of the Woodlands Overlay District until such time as the code enforcement structure and officer, funded by Section 9 is established, as required by the Development Agreement between Woodlands Club Holdings, LLLP, and the City of Tamarac; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

THE CITY OF TAMARAC, WE'RE REQUESTING A TEXT AMENDMENT TO SECTION TEN 2.7C3 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO PROVIDE FOR AN EXTENSION OF THE TERMINATION DATE OF THE WOODLANDS OVERLAY DISTRICT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE CODE ENFORCEMENT STRUCTURE AND OFFICER FUNDED BY SECTION NINE IS ESTABLISHED, AS REQUIRED BY THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN WOODLANDS CLUB HOLDINGS LLP AND THE CITY OF TAMARAC WOODLANDS SECTION NINE IS THE NEW HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION FOR THE NEW RESIDENTIAL PODS THAT WILL BE WITHIN THE WOODLANDS.

SO ON APRIL 14TH, 2004, THE CITY COMMISSION ADOPTED ORDINANCE 2004-11 ESTABLISHING THE WOODLANDS OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT. OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICTS ARE SUPERIMPOSED OVER PORTIONS OVER ONE OR MORE UNDERLYING BASED ZONING DISTRICTS IN ORDER TO SUPPLEMENT GENERAL APPLICABLE

THE WOODLANDS OVERLAY DISTRICT IS NOT ONLY INTENDED TO PROVIDE GUIDELINES TO ENSURE THE PRESERVATION OF THE WOODLANDS COMMUNITY VISUAL INTEGRITY, BUT ALSO TO ENSURE THAT EVERY PROPERTY IS MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMMUNITY STANDARDS.

SO THE CODE OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. IT PROVIDES REGULATIONS FOR THE WOODLANDS OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT PROVIDES GENERAL MAINTENANCE STANDARDS WITHIN THE DISTRICT THAT RELATES TO FENCES AND HEDGES, REFUSE CONTAINERS, GAS AND OIL TANKS.

IT REGULATES CARPORTS, GARAGES, PARKING AND STORAGE WITHIN THE DISTRICT BUILDINGS.
