PROKEL MOBILITY FOR COMMUNITY SHUTTLE SERVICE.

DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THIS? MELISSA.

THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON. MELISSA PETRONE, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION.

JUST A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF OUTSOURCING OUR COMMUNITY SHUTTLE SERVICE PROGRAM WITH MOBILITY, OUR CURRENT SERVICE OVERVIEW. WE HAVE A CITY MAINTAINED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE WITH BROWARD COUNTY SINCE 2000.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE 2 COMMUNITY SHUTTLE BUSSES ON FIXED ROUTES THAT TAKE PLACE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 7 A.M. TO 7 P.M., AND TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS FROM 9 A.M.

TO 5 P.M. OUR CURRENT FLEET INCLUDES 3 COUNTY LEASED BUSSES, 2 OF WHICH ARE ACTIVE AND 1 USED AS A SPARE, AND IT'S OPERATED BY 3 CITY EMPLOYEES. CITY STAFF ALSO MAINTAINS THE BUSSES AND ALSO HAS TO DO DAILY REPORTS TO BCT MONTHLY.

THIS IS FUNDED BY BROWARD COUNTY. SO OUR WE'RE LOOKING TO OUTSOURCE OUR DAILY OPERATIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY SHUTTLE TO PROKEL THROUGH THE PIGGYBACK AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS, PROKEL WILL PROVIDE OUR CURRENT SHUTTLE PROGRAM, BUT ALSO LOOK INTO EXPANDING OUR OPERATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, EXPANDING OUR SERVICES INTO THE WEEKENDS AS LONG AS BROWARD COUNTY APPROVES IT.

THEY PROVIDE THE CITY AND BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT WITH THE MONTHLY AND ANNUAL REPORTS.

AND THEY'RE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR HIRING THE DRIVERS, BUS OPERATOR, CERTIFICATIONS AND TRAINING.

AND THEY'LL ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE BUSSES.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PROKEL MOBILITY. THEY'RE A SOUTH FLORIDA BASED, MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS, 14 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OPERATING COMMUNITY SHUTTLES, COMMUTER, PARATRANSIT AND MICRO TRANSIT SYSTEMS,

[00:25:05]

AND DELIVERING NEARLY 3 MILLION ANNUAL PASSENGER TRIPS FOCUSED ON SAFETY, RELIABILITY AND RIDER SATISFACTION.

AND JUST A LITTLE NOTE, THERE IS A TOTAL OF 18 BROWARD MUNICIPALITIES THAT PARTNER WITH BROWARD COUNTY FOR COMMUNITY SHUTTLE SERVICE PROGRAM, AND 13 OF THESE MUNICIPALITIES OPERATE WITH A SIMILAR CONTRACTED SERVICE.

SOME OF THE BENEFITS THAT PROKEL OFFERS IS ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY USING A RIDER FACING APP WITH REAL TIME TRACKING.

THEY'LL HAVE AN APPROVED MAINTENANCE PLAN AND SUPPORT, ENSURE THAT NO SERVICES ARE MISSED AND EXTENDING THE LIFE OF COUNTY PROVIDED ASSETS.

THEY'LL HAVE BACKUP VEHICLES AT NO ADDITIONAL COST, A DEDICATED FACILITY FOR STORAGE AND MAINTAINING THE VEHICLES.

THEY'LL HAVE A ROUTE PLANNING AND OPTIMIZATION WHERE THEY CAN DO FULL ANALYSIS OF OUR ROUTE AND SERVICE OPTIMIZATION PLAN AT NO ADDED COST.

AND THEY ALSO OFFER A COMMUNITY BENEFIT PLAN, WHICH INVESTS DIRECTLY WITH TAMARAC COMMUNITY BY SUPPORTING LOCAL, NONPROFIT AND COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS. SO THE COST EFFICIENCIES THAT PROVIDED THE CITY, IT WILL SAVE THE CITY $150,000 THROUGH SALARIES, MAINTENANCE, FUEL AND INSURANCE.

SO WE GET A REDUCTION IN FLEET STAFFING TIME AND EXPENSES AS THE CITY'S FLEET DEPARTMENT WILL HAVE 3 LESS VEHICLES TO MAINTAIN, WHICH INCLUDES THE REPAIRS OF FUEL INSURANCE, YEARLY INSPECTION OF ALL BUSSES, AND MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS.

IT WOULD ALSO BE REDUCTION IN PARKS AND RECREATION, SUPERVISORY STAFF, TIME SPENT ON COMPILING RIDERSHIP, OPERATING HOURS, REVENUE HOURS, ACCIDENTS AND SO ON.

IT WILL ALSO ELIMINATE PART TIME DRIVER STAFFING EXPENSES AND ASSOCIATED EXPENSES, AS VENDORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BUS OPERATOR HIRING AND TRAINING, AND THE VENDOR ALSO WILL HAVE A LARGER ACCESS TO POOL DRIVERS, SO THE CITY WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO PULL STAFF FROM OUR PARATRANSIT PROGRAM TO RIDE WHEN WE'RE SHORT ON SHUTTLE DRIVERS. SO IN CONCLUSION, DUE TO THESE BENEFITS AND COST SAVINGS TO THE CITY, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO OUTSOURCE DAILY OPERATIONS OF TAMARAC SHUTTLE SERVICE TO PROKEL MOBILITY.

THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. MELISSA. AND THEN I GUESS THE THE THE KEY TAKEAWAY IS THAT 13 CITIES OUT OF 18 CONTRACTED WITH THE BROWARD COUNTY'S OPERATING IN THIS FORMAT WHICH MAKES A LOT OF SENSE AND PROKEL BRINGS SOME ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY TO THE TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO OUR RESIDENTS TO ACTUALLY CHART THEIR COURSE FOR, FOR TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

RIGHT. CORRECT. YES. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

AND THEN THE NEXT ONE, 60, IS YOURS AGAIN. THIS IS LONG AWAITED REPLACEMENT OF THE AQUATIC STRUCTURES AT THE

[6.b TR14344 - A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, authorizing the appropriate City officials to approve and accept the quote with Vortex Aquatic Structures International attached hereto as Exhibit “A” for the purchase and installation of a new sprayground for the Caporella Aquatic Center Sprayground Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed $484,605.50, through a piggyback contract with the National Purchasing Partners (NPP), attached hereto as Exhibit “B”; authorizing an additional appropriation in the amount not to exceed $90,078.50 to be included in a future budget amendment pursuant to F.S. 166.241(8); providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

CITY'S AQUATIC PARK. YES. AND JUST A LITTLE QUICK UPDATE ON THIS.

A LITTLE BIT BACKGROUND ON OUR SPRAY GROUND. THE AQUATIC CENTER IS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT THAT'S BEEN THERE SINCE THE AQUATIC CENTER OPENED AT 2007.

YOU KNOW, DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR AND SAFETY REASONS, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

IN 2023, THE CITY RECEIVED A $200,000 $1,000 MATCHING GRANT FROM FRDAP FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE SPRAY GROUND.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE VENDOR VORTEX AQUATIC STRUCTURES INTERNATIONAL.

THEY'RE THE SAME VENDOR THAT DID OUR SPRAY GROUND AT CAPORELLA PARK.

WE'RE UTILIZING A NPP CONTRACT TO PIGGYBACK THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS.

SO THIS WILL ALLOW US TO CONTRACT WITH VORTEX FOR THE DESIGN, PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF THE SPRAY GROUND ELEMENTS.

VORTEX IS A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN AQUATIC PLAY SOLUTIONS, KNOWN FOR ITS DURABLE, HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS AND INNOVATIVE DESIGNS.

AND THROUGH OUR EXPERIENCE WITH WORKING ON, WE'VE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE THAT THEY PROVIDED TO US.

SO THE PRICING FOR THE SPRAY GROUND WITH THE PRODUCTS, DISCOUNT INSTALLATION AND TRANSPORT, THE TOTAL COMES OUT TO $484,605.50. WE DO HAVE FUNDING FOR $394,527 BUDGETED.

SO AN APPROPRIATION AND THE AMOUNT OF $90,078.50 WILL BE INCLUDED IN A FUTURE BUDGET AMENDMENT.

THANK YOU. MELISSA. IS THE DESIGN GOING TO REMAIN EXACTLY THE SAME OR ARE WE MAKING ANY MODIFICATIONS? WE'VE WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE COMPANY FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW. LOOKING AT THE DESIGN, WE MADE SOME MODIFICATIONS.

THE ONLY THING LEFT WE HAVE TO DO IS COLOR SELECTION.

OKAY. SO ANYTHING NEW IN THE PROPOSED DESIGN OTHER THAN WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE? WELL, IT'S A WHOLE REALLY A DIFFERENT STRUCTURE.

IT'S REALLY NOT A REPLICA. OKAY. SO THE KIDS WILL ENJOY IT.

YES. OKAY. IS IT JUST OPEN THE KIDS OR. NO. ALL AGES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND UNDER SECTION 7, ORDINANCES, FIRST READING

[7.a TO2613 - An Ordinance of the city commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, establishing “Limited Online Sales” as an accessory use in the MU-N (Mixed-Use Neighborhood), MU-C (Mixed-Use Corridor), MU-G (Mixed-Use General), and NC (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning districts; amending Chapter 10, Article 3, Section 10-3.2, entitled “Table of Allowed Uses”, specifically Table 10-3.1: allowed uses for the inclusion of “Limited Online Sales”; and amending Section 10-3.4, entitled “Accessory Uses and Structures”, to provide the use-specific standards regulating the “Limited Online Sales” use; and amending Chapter 10, Article 6, entitled “Rules of Construction and Definitions”, specifically Section 10-6.2(E), entitled “Accessory Uses”, of the City of Tamarac code of ordinances, to provide a definition for “Limited Online Sales”; providing for codification; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

[00:30:04]

ESTABLISHING LIMITED ONLINE SALES AS AN ACCESSORY USE.

I'M GOING TO TURN THIS RIGHT OVER TO MISS CALLOWAY.

TO TALK ABOUT THIS, PLEASE. THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER, AND I WON'T BE TOO LONG.

THE APPLICANT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A PRESENTATION AT WEDNESDAY'S MEETING. BUT I DO WANT TO TOUCH ON THE EFFECT OF THESE TYPE OF APPLICATIONS.

ALTHOUGH THE APPLICATION IS BEING MADE BY PATINA COLLECTIVE IT IS A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE CODE.

IT'S LEGISLATIVE IN NATURE. AND SO IT IMPACTS CITYWIDE.

SO PATINA COLLECTION WANT TO HAVE LIMITED ONLINE SALES, MEANING THAT THEY WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE COMING TO THEIR THEIR SHOWROOM, LOOK AT THE VEHICLES AND THEN MAKE THE PURCHASE ONLINE.

THERE WAS NOT A CATEGORY IN THE CITY'S CODE THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR THAT.

AND SO THE CODE ALLOWED FOR AN ESTABLISHMENT OF USE APPLICATION, MEANING THAT IF THERE IS NOT A USE THAT IS CURRENTLY IN OUR CODE, YOU'RE ABLE TO ESTABLISH IT. AND ON THIS SIDE YOU CAN SEE THE APPLICABILITY.

THESE TYPE OF APPLICATION ALLOWS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF USES NOT CURRENTLY LISTED OR ADDRESSED WITHIN THE CODE.

AND SO THE LIMITED ONLINE SALES AGAIN WOULD ALLOW SOMEONE TO COME AND VIEW INSIDE OF THE BUSINESS AND THEN GO HOME AND MAKE THE PURCHASE.

THAT ALLOWS US THEN TO MAKE A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE CODE.

WE LOOKED AT THE CODE, LOOKED AT OTHER MUNICIPALITIES TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

AND SO WE'RE INTRODUCING THIS USE IN THE MUN MUC MUG AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.

THESE ZONING DISTRICTS ARE ON OUR MAJOR THOROUGHFARE ON COMMERCIAL.

AND I'LL HAVE A MAP IN A MOMENT JUST TO SHOW YOU WHERE IT WOULD BE IMPACTED.

AND SO THE TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE CODE IS PRIMARILY IN OUR TABLE OF ALLOWED USES.

THIS CHART SHOWS THAT TABLE AND THE USE IS BEING INTRODUCED AS AN INCIDENTAL OR AN ACCESSORY USE.

AND THE A SHOWS WHERE THE USE WILL BE PLACED AGAIN IN THE MUN MUC MUG AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT AS AN ACCESSORY USE AND TO FACILITATE THE USE AND TO MAKE SURE IT'S PERFORMING AT ITS OPTIMAL.

WE ARE DOING A TEXT AMENDMENT TO OUR PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, AND WE'RE INTRODUCING THE LIMITED ONLINE SALES, AND WE'RE ADDING SOME TEXT TO ALLOW IT TO PERFORM, ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY ADVERTISING, ONLY LIMITED VIEWING ON THE FLOOR, AND THEN YOUR PURCHASE HAVE TO BE MADE ONLINE.

WE'RE ALSO INTRODUCING AN AMENDMENT TO THE DEFINITION SECTION OF THE CODE.

THAT WAY WE CAN DEFINE LIMITED ONLINE SALES. THIS IS A CITY ZONING MAP AND IT'S SHOWING YOU THE AREAS IMPACTED.

AND SO WHERE YOU SEE THE BOXES IS MAJOR OR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES.

MCNABB COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD 441 UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

STATE ROAD 7 IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR MUG, MUN,MUCQ NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT.

BECAUSE PATINA COLLECTION IS THE APPLICANT. WE'RE JUST SHOWING A BIT IN TERMS OF THEIR BUSINESS AND THE USE.

THIS IS THE BUILDING. THIS IS WHERE THE VEHICLES ARE FOR THEIR COLLECTION.

COME INTO THE BUILDING. AND THIS IS THE LAYOUT OF THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING, THE FLOOR PLAN, WHAT THE VEHICLES LOOK LIKE, AND AGAIN, THE SECTION OF THE CODE THAT IS BEING AMENDED AND THE CRITERIA FOR THE CODE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF USE, MEANING MEETING GOAL NUMBER THREE AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE.

MAXINE I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS TO CLARIFY.

THIS RIGHT HERE, IT SAYS THERE SHOULD BE NO RETAIL [INAUDIBLE] SHOWROOM OR KIOSK ASSOCIATED WITH THIS USE.

NOW, THIS IS AN ACCESSORY USE. RIGHT. SO YOU KNOW IF IF AN ENTITY IS, IS THEY ALREADY HAVE RETAIL OR SOME SORT OF ESTABLISHMENT AND THIS IS BEING ADDED TO THEIR BUSINESS.

AND SO HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK OUT? BECAUSE THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE A SHOWROOM, THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE A RETAIL SPACE, AND THEY'RE JUST NOT BEING ALLOWED TO, TO DO ONLINE SALES AS WELL.

IS THERE SOME YOU KNOW CONFUSION OR CONFLICT BETWEEN THE 2 IN TERMS OF YOU KNOW.

LET'S USE PATINA COLLECTION. SO WHEN YOU GO THERE, YOU'RE SEEING THEY'RE CLEAR ON THEIR STORAGE.

YEAH. AND SO THAT IS THE PRIMARY USE THAT'S PERMISSIBLE WHEN YOU GO IN THERE.

THIS IS SAYING YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY KIOSK RELATED TO THE ONLINE LIMITED SALE COMPONENT.

SO YOU CANNOT BE ADVERTISING THAT THERE. BUT IF I'M BUYING SOME SUBS FROM PUBLIX ONLINE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT THAT THEY WERE WHEN YOU GET COMPLIANCE. NO.

SO WHEN YOU GET TO PUBLIX TO BUY THE SUBS, YOU SHOULDN'T SEE ANY CHAOS RELATED TO THE ONLINE.

[00:35:03]

SO YOU CAN'T GO IN AND PURCHASE. THERE SHOULDN'T BE A KIOSK FOR YOU TO PURCHASE THE SUB THERE ONLINE.

SO THIS PERFORMANCE IS RELATED TO THE LIMITED ONLINE SALE.

SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE A RETAIL COUNTER THAT SAYS ONLINE.

THERE SHOULDN'T BE COMPUTERS SET UP THERE FOR YOU TO PURCHASE IT ONLINE.

YOU'RE YOU'RE VIEWING THE PRODUCT, YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE SUB, AND THEN YOU'RE GOING HOME AND BUYING IT OR BUT YOU'RE NOT PICKING IT UP THERE.

IF YOU'RE USING YOU'RE USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE.

AND WHAT ARE WE EXACTLY ACCOMPLISHING BY BY THESE SUCH RESTRICTIONS IN TERMS OF ONLINE SALES? WELL, WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH? I UNDERSTAND PATINA COLLECTION IS A DIFFERENT ENTITY BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE.

THEY'RE THE APPLICANT BUT THIS SINCE THIS APPLIES TO EVERY OTHER BUSINESS THAT'S IN THAT ZONING OR IN THOSE ZONING DISTRICTS, HOW ARE THEY IMPACTED BY THIS? BY THESE RESTRICTIONS OR ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES.

WELL, THEY'RE IMPACTED WE DIDN'T BELIEVE NEGATIVE NEGATIVELY NECESSARILY, BECAUSE YOU'RE ABLE TO BUY THAT PRODUCT AS A RETAIL WHEN YOU'RE GOING IN.

AND THEN THE INCIDENTAL USE IS YOUR ONLINE COMPONENT.

AND WE WANTED TO KEEP THAT ONLINE. SO NOTHING WE SAY HERE IS GOING TO BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTING AN EXISTING BUSINESS THAT'S DOING ONLINE SALES ALREADY BECAUSE THEY'RE ONLINE SELLING THE PRODUCT THAT THEY SELL THEIR RETAIL.

IN THIS CASE, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT THERE.

THEY'RE NOT PERFORMING MOTOR VEHICLE SALE IN THEIR WAREHOUSE.

THEY'RE RUNNING A MUSEUM, THEY'RE DOING VIEWING.

AND THEN WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE A CAR SALES THERE.

AND ACCORDING TO PATINA COLLECTION, THEY'RE SELLING THEIR CARS ONLINE.

SO WE DIDN'T WANT CUSTOMER SERVICE TO BE HAPPENING FOR THE SALE OF CAR, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE USE THAT'S PERMISSIBLE.

HOW WOULD THAT APPLY TO THE EXISTING TWO DEALERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY THAT THEY ALSO HAVE AN ONLINE PRESENCE? I'M NOT SURE HOW FAR THEY GO IN SELLING THEIR VEHICLES ONLINE, BUT THEY HAVE GREAT ONLINE PRESENCE.

AND YET YOU KNOW, THEY'RE A DEALER. YEAH. AND THEIR DEALERSHIP, WHICH IS A DIFFERENT ZONING DESIGNATION.

IT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PERMITTED USE. SO IT'S NOT IN THIS CASE THEY'RE USED AS A MUSEUM USE.

FOR DEALERSHIP THERE IS A DEALERSHIP USE. YOU HAVE A DEALERSHIP LICENSE.

YOU CAN HAVE ON PREMISES SALE. YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR VEHICLE ON PREMISES.

YOU CAN VIEW YOUR VEHICLE ON PREMISES, AS WE ALL DO WHEN WE GO AND BUY A VEHICLE.

SO IT'S A DIFFERENT USE. I TRUST YOU. YEAH. NO.

AND SO FOR THE DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD NOT HAVE AN INCIDENTAL USE LIKE THIS.

THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE AN INCIDENTAL. I JUST WANT TO DISENFRANCHIZE AN EXISTING BUSINESS WITH RETAIL AND ONLINE LINE COMPONENT AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THIS BY THIS LEGISLATION.

RIGHT. AND NOT EVERY RETAIL BUSINESS IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT, IN THE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED WILL AVAIL THEMSELVES OR WANT TO COME IN TO HAVE AN INCIDENTAL USE. WE'RE JUST MAKING THIS CATEGORY AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE LIKE PATINA COLLECTION, WHO MIGHT WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AND STILL HAVE VIEWING ONSITE, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN EVERY RETAILER THAT'S IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT IS GOING TO HAVE AN INCIDENTAL USE LIKE THIS. IT MIGHT NOT BE NECESSARY FOR THEM.

SO THEY MAY BE PERFECTLY FINE OPERATING IN LINE THE WAY THEY ARE.

YES. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE A COUPLE ORDINANCES IN SECOND

[8.a TO2589 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, adopting amendments to the City of Tamarac Comprehensive plan “with changes”, including amendments to the future land use element , the transportation element, the housing element, the infrastructure element, the conservation element, the recreation and open space element, the intergovernmental coordination element, the capital improvements element, the education element, the economic development element, and the private property rights element; additionally providing for the inclusion of an urban design element and implementation / administration element; authorizing the appropriate city officials to take administrative action to transmit the adopted City of Tamarac 2050 Comprehensive Plan as amended inclusive of the supporting data and analysis and all associated tables, exhibits, and maps attached hereto as Exhibit “A” to the state land planning agency housed within the Department of Commerce and other reviewing agencies as required by Florida Statute 163.3184(3); providing for severability; providing for conflicts; and providing an effective date.]

READING. THE FIRST ONE IS THE ADOPTION OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ADOPTION. SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN THE STEP OF THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE IN, IN THE IN THE ADOPTION JOURNEY. YES, MR. MANAGER, AND WHILE I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION, I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH IT BECAUSE A CONSULTANT WILL BE HERE ON WEDNESDAY AND WILL BE DELIVERING THE SAME PRESENTATION. SO THANK YOU, JAMES, BUT I'LL TOUCH QUICKLY ON THE MAJOR CHANGES. SO IN MAY WE ADOPTED OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ON FIRST READING.

AND WE TRANSMITTED IT AS EVERYONE KNOW THAT'S A HUGE MILESTONE FOR THE CITY.

OUR LAST PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN 2007 OR 8. IT'S AN OLD PLAN.

YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS YOUR INSTRUMENT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO PROJECT YOUR GROWTH AND YOUR POPULATION, YOUR LAND USE PROJECTIONS. IT'S ALSO A REQUIREMENT OF STATE LAW FOR EVERY CITY TO HAVE ONE, AND TO PROJECT YOUR POPULATION GROWTH AND WHERE YOU WILL GROW.

SO THE CITY OF TAMARAC IN MAY, WE ADOPTED ON FIRST READING OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WE TRANSMITTED TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND ALL THE REVIEWING AGENCIES.

WHEN WE TRANSMITTED TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA, IT WAS RIGHT BEFORE THE ADOPTION OF SOME MAJOR BILLS.

[00:40:05]

AND SO OUR COMMENTS BACK FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA WERE QUITE A FEW.

THE MAJOR COMMENT BEING THE TIMELINE OR THE PLANNING HORIZON FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLANS HAVE CHANGED.

OUR PLAN WAS A TEN-YEAR PLAN. THE CITY OF TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2040.

THE STATE POINTED OUT THAT THE HORIZON FOR PLANNING HAS CHANGED TO 20 YEARS, AND SO WE HAVE HAD TO UPDATE THE PLAN TO 2050.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE LANGUAGE IN THE PLAN THAT WAS OVER RESTRICTIVE OR OVERBURDENSOME ON PROPERTY OWNERS.

AS WE KNOW THAT THIS, THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT.

OTHER PRESENTATION. THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE HAVE A GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGING A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT AND PROPERTY RIGHTS. AND SO THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIDN'T HAVE ANY RESTRICTIVE OR OVERBURDENSOME LANGUAGE.

SO OUR CONSULTANT HAD TO GO THROUGH AND REMOVE WHERE THERE ARE SOME SHALL WHERE THERE WAS SOME RESTRICTION ON DEVELOPMENT, WHERE THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME OVERBURDENSOME LANGUAGE.

THOSE WERE REMOVED AS WELL. WE HAD TO UPDATE SOME OF THE MAPS AND WE HAD TO UPDATE THE DATA AND ANALYSIS, BECAUSE NOW WE'RE CHANGING THE PLAN FROM A TEN-YEAR HORIZON TO A 20-YEAR HORIZON.

SO THAT IMPACTED THE ENTIRE PLAN IN TERMS OF UPDATING THE DATA AND ANALYSIS TO SUPPORT THE POPULATION PROJECTION FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

AND SO THE PRESENTATION IS IN THE FOLDER OR CONSULTANT WILL BE IN ON WEDNESDAY AND WILL DELIVER THAT PRESENTATION TO THE COMMISSION.

SO JUST TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT'S SUCH A LONG TERM COMMITMENT.

THE 20 YEAR HORIZON. WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN AS CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE IN THE IN THE YOU KNOW THE MAKEUP OF THE CITY AND WHAT'S THE PROCESS TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? YEAH. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S A FLUID DOCUMENT. WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME.

SO WHENEVER YOU SEE STAFF BRING FORWARD MORE, MORE THAN OTHERS, WE DO LESS TEXT AMENDMENT.

YOU'LL SEE A MAP AMENDMENT WHERE WE'LL DO A LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT SOME EXAMPLES OR THE WOODMAN PROJECT, THE WOODLANDS PROJECT, WHERE WE HAVE HAD TO DO A MAP AMENDMENT THAT IS AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AND SO IF IT'S 50 ACRES OR LESS, YOU'RE DOING A SMALL SCALE AMENDMENT.

IF IT'S OVER 50 ACRES, THEN YOU'RE TRANSMITTING THAT TO THE STATE.

YOU'RE DOING A LARGE SCALE MAP AMENDMENT. SO THE DOCUMENT IS INTENDED TO CHANGE US AS MARKET CONDITIONS CHANGE AS WELL.

AND PRIMARILY IN A MAP AMENDMENT, YOU'LL SEE THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

SO IT'S A LIVING DOCUMENT. YES. OPEN FOR FOR MODIFICATIONS.

ABSOLUTELY. AND WE HAVE DONE THAT QUITE A BIT HERE IN THE CITY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND 8.B IS THE UPDATE TO CITY CODE BASED ON THE CHANGES TO THE

[8.b TO2606 - An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, amending Chapter 10, Article 2, of the Land Development Code of the City of Tamarac, Florida, entitled “Zoning Districts”, by specifically amending Section 10-2.8, entitled “Qualified Mixed-Use Development Pursuant to the Live Local Act of 2023", to establish 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 (2024) and Senate Bill 1730 (2025), attached hereto as Exhibit A, 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.]

LIVE LOCAL ACT? YES. MR. MANAGER, DID WE PUT THE.

WAS THIS NOT ON FIRST READING? IT WAS. SO THIS IS THE SECOND READING, BUT I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE.

YEAH. AND PRIMARILY ON THIS ONE AS YOU RECALL, WE DID A PRESENTATION AT THE LAST STAFF GENDER REVIEW MEETING.

THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS INCLUDING THE PD DESIGNATION.

THE STATE OF FLORIDA MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE LIVE LOCAL ACT.

THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE CITIES LIKE THE CITY OF TAMARAC WAS NOT EXCLUDING THE PD WHEN WE UPDATED THE CODE TO RESPOND TO THE ACT.

WE INTENTIONALLY EXCLUDED THE PD DESIGNATION.

WE DIDN'T INCLUDE IT AS ONE OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS.

AND SO THE STATE OF FLORIDA SAID, NO, NO, NO, PD IS INCLUDED AS ONE OF THE AREAS WHERE DEVELOPERS CAN DEVELOP.

SO, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN DEVELOP IN ANY MIXED USE DESIGNATION, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, THEY CAN DO SO PROVIDED 40% OR MORE OF THEIR PRODUCT IS AFFORDABLE, AND IN DOING SO THEY WOULD AVOID ANY PUBLIC HEARING.

THEIR PROJECT WOULD BE ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE.

SO THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS INCLUDING OUR PD, WHICH WAS ONCE EXCLUDED IN OUR CODE, AS WELL AS INTRODUCING SOME TRANSPORTATION EXEMPTION AND PARKING AS WELL. AND SO THAT'S, NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS AT THIS POINT.

EVERYTHING'S ALMOST OPEN TO LIVE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S A LIVE LOCAL. YEAH. AND YOU KNOW, THE CHANGES TO THE PARKING REQUIREMENT YOU WANT TO DISCUSS IT? I BELIEVE THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN.

REDUCED. BY 15%. THAT'S CORRECT. SO. SO BEFORE IN OUR CODE, IT'S WE WOULD GRANT A PARKING REDUCTION OF AT LEAST 20%. THAT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 15%, PROVIDED THAT THE PROJECT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A BUS STOP, WHICH IS PRIMARILY EVERY PROJECT. TRANSPORTATION. EXACTLY.

SO THAT WAS REDUCED TO 15%. AND FOR THE CITY OF TAMARAC, JUST TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD, ALL OUR PROJECTS,

[00:45:02]

ALL OUR LIVE LOCAL PROJECTS MUST BE MIXED USE ONLY BECAUSE WE'RE BELOW THE THRESHOLD WITH INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCE PROPERTY.

THE CITY HAS ONLY 11%. THE STATE STATUTE SAYS IF A MUNICIPALITY HAS LESS THAN 20%, THEN THAT MUNICIPALITIES LIVE LOCAL PRODUCT MUST BE A MIXED USE. AND SO THAT WOULD BE TAMARAC. GREAT.

THANK YOU. AND THE LAST ITEM ON THE ORDINANCES SECOND READING IS THE CITY'S SECOND BUDGET AMENDMENT.

[8.c TO2612- An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, adopting the Second (2nd) Budget Amendment to the City of Tamarac Operating Budget, Revenues and Expenditures, the Capital Budget, and the Financial Policies for the Fiscal Year 2025. By increasing the total revenues and expenditures by a total of $5,299,266 as detailed in Attachment "A" attached hereto and summarized in Attachment "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein; providing that the 2nd amendment is being adopted in the same manner as the original budget and serves as the new adopted budget: providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date.]

THAT'S FOR FY 25. SO CHRISTINE, JUST TO. YOU DON'T NEED.

NO, NO, I DID MAKE A PRESENTATION. THE LAST AGENDA REVIEW MEETING.

TWO SENTENCES OR LESS. YEAH. JUST GIVING A REMINDER THAT THIS IS OUR LAST BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR FY 2025.

THAT INCREASES THE BUDGET FROM $240,336,224 TO $245,635,490.

IT'S A MIX IN TERMS OF THE FUNDS THAT THAT IS RECEIVING THE AMENDMENT GENERAL FUND IS 3.6 MILLION, WHICH THE MAJOR PORTION OF IT IS A LAND PURCHASE FOR 2.7 MILLION.

AND THEN WE MADE SOME VEHICLE PURCHASES AS WELL, AS WELL AS WE HAD SOME EMERGENCY PURCHASES FOR THE ELEVATOR AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY CENTER.

RIGHT. OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU. AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS DOES NOT GO THROUGH. OKAY. CITY ATTORNEY? YES. THEN WE WILL BE IN VIOLATION OF STATUTE IN TERMS OF THE MONEYS THAT WE HAVE SPENT WERE NOT PROPERLY APPROPRIATED.

AND THEN WE HAVE A QUASI JUDICIAL THAT'S THE APPLICATION FOR A LIQUOR STORE IN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

[10.a TBO100 - Board Order approving/denying application for special exception to allow for a proposed packaged liquor store in the NC (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district pursuant to Section 10-3.2, Table of Allowed Uses, Code of Ordinances at 7158 North Nob Hill Road, Tamarac, Florida 33321.]

COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT. WE CAN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT THIS, BUT YOU WANT TO JUST PROVIDE A BRIEF LOCATION, AND IT'S AT 7158 NORTH NOB HILL ROAD. IN THE PLAZA AT THAT LOCATION, AS YOU SAID, IT'S QUASI JUDICIAL IN NATURE. AND THE APPLICANT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON WEDNESDAY TO DELIVER A PRESENTATION.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN NEXT ITEM.

[10.b TBO101 - Board Order approving/denying application for variance seeking relief from Section 10-4.10(D)(3)(f)(iii), Code of Ordinances, to allow for two (2) façade signs with one (1) façade sign not located on the primary frontage of the tenant bay for a multiple tenant building with external access versus one (1) façade sign per tenant bay located on the primary frontage of the tenant bay for a multiple tenant building with external access to the individual tenant bay permitted at 7613 NW 57 Street, Tamarac FL 33321.]

OH. THAT'S FOR THE SIGN VARIANCE THAT'S ON. IN THE MIDWAY PLAZA.

MIDWAY PLAZA, RIGHT. SO THAT'S A CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE FACILITY AND THEIR SIGN IS IN THE IS IN THE ALLEYWAY, I BELIEVE OR THEY WANT TO HAVE A, THEY WANT TO HAVE A SIGN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE.

THEY DO ON BOTH SIDES. YES. YEAH. SO THEY'RE RIGHT IN THAT ARCH.

THAT'S CORRECT. SO THEY ARE ALLOWED ONE SIGN ON ONE SIDE OF THE ARCH, AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL SIGN ON THE OTHER SIDE SO THEY'RE ABLE, YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE THEM COMING OFF OF 57TH AS WELL AS COMING INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE DRIVEWAY.

CORRECT. AND THEY WERE BEFORE THE PLANNING BOARD. THEY DELIVERED A VERY GOOD PRESENTATION. SO THEY WILL BE AT THE COMMISSION MEETING ON WEDNESDAY AS WELL TO DELIVER A PRESENTATION ON THE ITEM. EXCELLENT. AND THEN WE'LL CLOSE THE MEETING WITH SECTION 11.

[11.a Discussion and Consensus Regarding a Charitable Donation to Dare to Care for the Thanksgiving Food Distribution in Response to the Government Shutdown and Temporary Loss of Food Assistance Benefits. Requested by Vice Mayor Kicia Daniel]

WE HAVE A DISCUSSION AND CONSENSUS REQUEST BY VICE MAYOR.

THAT'S FOR THE THANKSGIVING FOOD DISTRIBUTION AND CHARITABLE DONATION TO DARE TO CARE.

[11.b Discussion and Consensus on a One-Time Charitable Donation Allocation of an additional $5,000 for each Elected Official, to be distributed to local charitable organizations. Requested by Commissioner Marlon Bolton]

$5,000 FOR EACH ELECTED OFFICIAL TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO LOCAL CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS.

AND SO THE COMMISSION WILL HAVE CONVERSATION ABOUT THOSE.

AND THAT'S THOSE ARE THE LAST ITEMS ON THE, ON THE AGENDA.

SO IS THERE ANYTHING. ANYTHING ELSE. WHAT? OH.

PUBLIC COMMENTS PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE, BY THE WAY WE DON'T NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE MEETING FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.

THEY'RE PART OF EVERY ITEM ON THE AGENDA HEARING NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

I BELIEVE THAT CONCLUDES OUR MEETING TODAY. THANK YOU.
