A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA, FLORIDA,
APPROVING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT REQUEST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
AND OPERATION OF AN INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL MIXED -USE RETAIL, AND
WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION FACILITY ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12691 NW
42ND AVENUE AND 12705 NW 42ND AVENUE, OPA-LOCKA, FLORIDA 33054, IDENTIFIED
BY FOLIOS 08-2129-000-0050 AND 08-2129-000-0064, IN THE B-3 ZONING DISTRICT;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
The Applicant, GPT NW 42nd Avenue Owner 11, LLC & GPT NW 42nd Avenue Owner 111, LLC seeks to redevelop
this two -parcel site and has submitted formal requests for site plan and development agreement approvals for
the construction and operation of an industrial and commercial mixed -use retail and warehouse distribution
DocuSlgn Envelope ID:6FBFOE7B-1B4C-497C-A75B-138F91AAA552
facility in accordance with the Commercial B-3 zoning district and the Corridor Mixed use Overlay
requirements.
Background
This property is located in the southwest section of the City of 0pa-Iocka on the east -side of NW 42nd Avenue,
across from the City's Public Works Department. The property is owned by GPT NW 42nd Avenue Owner [[
LLC and GPT NW 42nd Avenue Owner III LLC according to Miami -Dade County Property appraiser's website.
As indicated on the site plan the proposed development would consist of six buildings containing
approximately 741,837 square feet which combines both commercial and warehouse uses and would provide
74,182 square feet of office use.
The applicant intends to develop the property with a commercial logistics uses in accordance with the
Commercial B-3 zoning district regulations and the corridor mixed use overlay requirements for the inclusion
of industrial warehouse and distribution uses. The proposed development would consist of six buildings
containing over 740,000 square feet and incorporates traditional Moorish architecture to complement the
surrounding community and general design goals of the City. This development provides for both commercial
and warehouse uses with a commercial visual appeal. This planned development is anticipated to generated
approximately 1,000 construction jobs, 765 permanent jobs, and an excess of $90 million in new investment
inclusive of $6 million of permits and impact fees.
The City of Opa-locka's Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Plan map provides that the property
has a land use designation of "Commercial" with a "Corridor Mixed Use Overlay", for "Parcel 1" and a
land use designation of "industrial" with a "Corridor Mixed Use Overlay", for "Parcel 2" which allows
for an industrial/commercial mixed -use, which would include warehouse / distribution facilities and
showrooms. Because the buildings are expected to be built on a speculative basis for many tenants and are
not a build -to -suit for a specific tenant in mind, measurable commercial -retail at this time is not possible in
order to preserve flexibility needed to best respond to leasing demand once the buildings are constructed. The
site plan does provide a means for separate uses within each building to permit commercial retail, showroom
and flex office space.
The proposed development use "Retail Center" and 'Warehouse Distribution Center" is in harmony with the
general characteristic of the surrounding neighborhood for Commercial/Industrial Uses. For Horizontal
Mixed Use the Development where the different types of uses, industrial and commercial are horizontally
integrated, the site plan has multiple buildings, and each building may be a separate use. There must be clear
indicators as to the area designated for retail and for commercial uses. Retail uses must be specific to the
products produced on site and any accessory uses. The applicant is proposing a speculative, multi -tenant
commercial logistics project that has been designed to attract small- and medium-sized users that are
anticipated to require approximately 10% in aggregate of square footage as retail/showroom and flex office
space buildout inside the buildings. The buildings facing LeJeune and Douglas/LeJeune will feature shallower
depths at 145 feet, more glass and storefronts, high auto parking counts, enhanced lighting and concealed
truck courts, which are visually appealing to the neighborhood and will attract smaller businesses with
office/showroom/retail spaces along the storefronts.
According to the City's Land Development Regulation/ Zoning Code B-3 (Commercial Industrial) allows
Warehouse facilities for light industrial and light manufacturing uses; The B-3 Zoning District also permits B-
1 & B-2 Uses and the district permits Flea Markets & Bazaars. As a mixed -use development there must be clear
indications of retail, sales and service uses and distinct indicators of where those uses will be located. The
MXUOD District permits Retail and Service Uses as well as Hotels, Movie Theaters, Health Spas, and Medical
and Business Offices. The commercial mixed use also includes Recreational Facilities that include recreation
buildings for indoor sports, i.e. indoor soccer, swimming pools, parks, (which could include a water park) open
space and recreational area for tennis courts, basketball courts, etc.
Financial Impact
Approval of this site plan and development agreement will not provide any negative financial impact.

manufacturing uses;
■ The B-3 Zoning District also permits B-1 & B-2 Uses and the district permits
Flea Markets & Bazaars
■ As a mixed -use development there must be clear indications of retail, sales and
service uses
and distinct indicators of where those uses will be located.

commercial retail vs industrial use assignment.

rebuild, provided that the Property is cleared and maintained in
accordance with City Code requirements. It is expressly understood by

in effect on the Effective Date of this Agreement shall not relieve Owner of
the necessity of complying with any and all regulations governing said

to develop the Property in a manner that is inconsistent with the Laws of the
City of Opa-Locka in existence as of the Effective Date.
b) In the event that the City asserts that the terms of this Agreement are not
being complied with, then, in addition to any other remedies available to the
City, the City may stay the effectiveness of this Agreement as to the portion
of the Property associated with the alleged non-compliance. However,
before staying the effectiveness of this Agreement as to the Property or a
tract or portion thereof, and before withholding permits, inspections, or
approvals throughout or upon the entire Property based on a failure to
comply with this Agreement, the City shall send written notice containing
the nature of the purported violation and provide a reasonable time -frame
within which the Owner may correct the violation. These requirements for
notice and an opportunity to cure shall not apply and shall not be construed
to limit: (i) the City's ability to take any action to prevent or ameliorate any
immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare; or (ii) the City's
or the County's authority and available remedies to enforce violations of the
Code or of other applicable regulations.

themselves the mutual benefits created under this Agreement. In that regard, the
parties shall execute such further documents as may be reasonably necessary to
effectuate the provisions of this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall in
no way be deemed to inhibit, restrict, or require the exercise of the City's police
power or actions of the City when acting in a quasi-judicial capacity.

Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if delivered
by hand, sent by a recognized courier (such as Federal Express) or mailed by
