Short Title:
An emergency ordinance of the City Commission to impose a moratorium on junkyards, scrap metal
facilities, and auto salvage businesses citywide for period of twelve (12) months.
Staff Summary:
The City of Opa-locka was awarded a community challenge grant in FY 2011 from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development to prepare a comprehensive re-write of the city's
comprehensive plan, land development code, and provide a housing and economic development
strategy report.
These regulations are in desperate need of updating. They contain various conflicts, vague definitions,
etc., which create confusion within city departments.
Moratorium on junkyards, scrap metal facilities 1 •
It is critical that a city-wide moratorium be imposed to ensure these long-range plan updates do not
conflict with our existing practice, e.g., allowing junkyards, scrap metal facilities, and auto salvage
businesses in certain parts of the city— specifically south of 135th Street east of Cairo Lane.
The staff has been inundated with requests for rezoning property from the 1-2 to the I-2A zoning district.
The 1-2 A zoning district allows junkyards, scrap metal facilities, and auto salvage businesses. This
particular zoning district (I-2A) is located off Cairo Lane south of 135th Street. Currently, there is no
guidance or ordinance that provides clear definitions regarding scrap metal facilies, junk yards, and auto
salvage businesses. The City's Land Development Code needs to be updated to provide complete and
comprehensive guidance addressing these kind of uses citywide.
Additionally, the city's current land development code requires that applications be presented to the City
Commission within 20 days after the Planning Council's review. Pursuant to State law, the city clerk's
office must notify the public regarding zoning applications. The City Clerk's office must also provide
written notice to property owners within 300-375 feet of the proposed area. This usually takes
approximately 45-60 days after the Planning Council meeting. In addition, there are meetings where the
City Commission cannot review zoning applications due to agenda length and priorities. In short, the
current land development code needs to be updated taking the above issues into consideration. These
issues also need to be addressed in the moratorium as well.
The following applications have already been submitted to the City and will not be affected by the
moratorium:

In addition, this moratorium would not apply to existing businesses legally established or legally non-
conforming businesses within the city.
Proposed Action:
Staff recommends the City Commission authorize a moratorium in order to ensure there are adequate
regulations in place to address junk yards, scrap metal facilities, and auto salvage businesses.

RE: Request for an emergency ordinance of the City Commission to
impose a moratorium on junkyards, scrap metal facilities, and auto
salvage businesses citywide for period of twelve (12) months.
Request:
An ordinance of the City Commission to impose an emergency moratorium on
junkyards, scrap metal facilities, and auto salvage businesses city wide for a period of
twelve months.
Description:
The City of Opa-locka was awarded a community challenge grant in FY 2011 from the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to prepare a
comprehensive re-write of the city's comprehensive plan, land development code, and
provide a housing and economic development strategy report.
These regulations are in desperate need of updating. They contain various conflicts,
vague definitions, etc., which create confusion within city departments.
It is critical that a city-wide moratorium be imposed to ensure these long-range plan
updates do not conflict with our existing practice, e.g., allowing junkyards, scrap metal
facilities, and auto salvage businesses in certain parts of the city—specifically south of
135th Street east of Cairo Lane.
The staff has been inundated with requests for rezoning property from the 1-2 to the 1-2A
zoning district. The 1-2 A zoning district allows junkyards, scrap metal facilities, and
Moratorium on junkyards, scrap metal facilities 1
auto salvage businesses. This particular zoning district (I-2A) is located off Cairo Lane
south of 135th Street. Currently, there is no guidance or ordinance that provides clear
definitions regarding scrap metal faculties, junk yards, and auto salvage businesses.
The City's Land Development Code needs to be updated to provide complete and
comprehensive guidance addressing these kind of uses citywide.
Additionally, the city's current land development code requires that applications be
presented to the City Commission within 20 days after the Planning Council's review.
Pursuant to State law, the city clerk's office must notify the public regarding zoning
applications. The City Clerk's office must also provide written notice to property owners
within 300-375 feet of the proposed area. This usually takes approximately 45-60 days
after the Planning Council meeting. In addition, there are meetings where the City
Commission cannot review zoning applications due to agenda length and priorities. In
short, the current land development code needs to be updated taking the above issues
into consideration. These issues also need to be addressed in the moratorium as well.
The following applications have already been submitted to the City and will not be
affected by the moratorium:

WHEREAS, within the City of Opa-locka South of 135th Street and West of 32"d Avenue
there exists a significant number of industrial auto salvage businesses clustered in this district
which have historically been and are the prevailing land use there; and
WHEREAS, the City's Zoning Ordinance currently permits auto salvage and related
activity only in zoning classified as "I-2A"; and
WHEREAS, only a portion of the aforementioned geographic area is zoned "I-2A",
causing the City to receive frequent requests by individual land owners to re-zone their property
from "I-2" to "I-2A"; and

WHEREAS, such a piecemeal approach to dealing with this situation contravenes
established planning principles, burdens the City and its residents, and is onerous to the property
owners and business operators in this area; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to design a fair, uniform and efficient system for addressing
these requests and at the same time have an opportunity to ensure that each auto salvage business
operating in this district does so in a way that maintains the area in a safe and orderly condition
as possible; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the best way to achieve this is by amending the
City Zoning Ordinance to allow auto salvage businesses as a"conditional use" in "I-2"
classifications within the aforementioned area, subject to a public hearing and amending the
Zoning Ordinance to clarify the procedure by the Planning Council pertaining to conditional uses
and clarifying the City Commission procedures concerning acts of the Planning Council.

3. A special exception or conditional use is defined in
"Construction of Language and Definitions" of this ordinance.
4. A special exception or conditional use shall not be granted by
the Planning Council unless and until:
a. The council has determined that the granting of the
special exception or conditional use, with any
appropriate conditions and safeguards that the council
may deem necessary, will not adversely affect the public
interest.
b. In reaching a conclusion and in making the
determinations required in "a" above, the council shall
consider and weigh, among others, the following factors,
where applicable, and shall show in record such factors
as were considered and the disposition made thereof.
Further, the council shall find, in the case of any of these
factors, where they may be relevant and applicable, that
the purposes and requirements upon granting the special
exception or conditional use have been met by the
applicant, such as:
44
(1) Ingress and egress to the property and the
proposed structures thereon, if any, including such
considerations as automotive and pedestrian safety
and convenience, traffic flow and control, and
access in case of fire or catastrophe;
(2) Off-street parking and loading areas, where
required, including consideration of relevant
circulation factors, and the economics, noise, glare
or odor effects on such areas, on adjacent and
nearby properties and properties generally in the

(3) Refuse and service areas, including consideration
of relevant factors in (1) and (2) preceding;
(4) Utilities, including such consideration as tie-in
locations and availability and compatibility of
utilities for the proposed use of structure;
(5) Screening, buffering and landscaping, including
considerations of such relevant factors as type,
dimensions and character to preserve and improve
compatibility and harmony of use and structures
between the proposed special exception or
conditional uses and structures of adjacent and
nearby properties generally in the district;
(6) Signs, or outside display, if any, and proposed
exterior lighting, if any, with reference to glare,
traffic safety, and economic effects of same on
properties in the district and compatibility and
harmony with other properties in the district;
(7) Required yards and open spaces. The council shall
make such determinations as it deems necessary,
guided by the factors that may be described in the
particular zoning district, based on the nature of
the request and its effect on the light, air, safety
and convenience on said site and adjacent and
nearby properties generally in the district;
45
(8) Height of structures with consideration of those
factors and restrictions set out in the zoned district,
and based on design and general topographic
features and the relationship to uses and structures
on adjacent and nearby properties and properties
generally in the district;
(9) General compatibility and harmony of the use and
structures under the proposed special exception or
conditional use with the uses and structures on
adjacent and nearby properties and properties
generally in the districts;
(10) Economic effects on adjacent and nearby
properties, and on properties generally in the
district of the grant of the special exception or
conditional use.
5. In recommending any special exception or conditional use, the
council may prescribe, in addition to those items depicted on
the actual site plan, appropriate conditions and safeguards in
conformity with the Zoning Ordinance and council
requirements. Violation of such conditions and safeguards,
when made a part of the terms under which the special
exception or conditional use is approved, shall be deemed a
violation of the Zoning Ordinance and punishable under
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
In recommending a special exception or conditional use, the
council may prescribe a time limit for which the special
condition shall be begun or completed, or both. Failure to
begin or complete, or both, such action within time limited
shall void the special exception or conditional use and the
grantee shall resubmit the request through established
procedures for reconsideration.
6. Before the clerk shall mail such notices or advertise in such
newspaper to any public hearing, the clerk shall request a fee
in accordance with the fee schedule of the city, from such
applicant to help defray the expenses of such advertisement
and postal charges. In cases where the minimum fee shall not
be sufficient for such purposes, such applicant shall be
required to pay sufficient funds to defray the actual cost of
advertising and postal charges.

request until such deposit, as the case requires, shall be paid
