Perviz Ave Opa-Locka, FL 33054 Dear Mayor Taylor: The Department of Economic Opportunity has completed its review of the proposed comprehensive plan amendment for the City Opa-Locka (Amendment No. 15-1ESR),which was received on June 10,2015. We have reviewed the proposed amendment pursuant to Sections 163.3184(2)and (3), Florida Statutes (F.S.), and identified no comment related to important state resources and facilities within the Department's authorized scope of review that will be adversely impacted by the amendment if adopted. The Department recognizes and commends the City on this ambitious and important amendment. The amendment represents a major commitment on the part of the City to improve its strategy to attract economic development, combat blight, and generally create a higher quality of life for its citizens. To further strengthen the City's comprehensive plan and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Community Planning Act,we are providing five technical assistance comments consistent with Section 163.3168(3), F.S. These technical assistance comments will not form the basis of a challenge. The first technical assistance comment pertains to the schedule of capital improvements.The amendment, as presently drafted, does not propose to include a schedule of capital improvements in the City's Comprehensive Plan. To rectify this oversight,the City could revise the amendment to include an up-to-date capital improvements schedule. Alternatively,the City could adopt an up-to-date capital improvements schedule corresponding to the City's FY2016/2017 Capital Budget later this year. The second technical assistance comment pertains to the emergency conservation of water sources in accordance with the plans of the South Florida Water Management District. The amendment, as drafted, does not address this subject. In response the City could coordinate with the South Florida Water Management District to ensure that the City adequately provides for the emergency conservation of water sources in accordance with the District's plans. After coordinating with the Water Management District,the amendment could be revised to reflect appropriate strategies. The third technical assistance comment pertains to mapping included in the proposed amendment. As the amendment was formatted, it is not clear whether all of the included maps are newly proposed maps or whether some may be maps included in the current version of the Comprehensive Plan and included in the amendment for context purposes only. In addition, many of the maps included in the amendment are not labeled so as to allow the reader to understand whether they are portraying current conditions or intended future conditions(or both). In response,the City could revise the amendment to clarify which maps are being adopted,and to provide sufficient labeling on those maps to distinguish between existing conditions and intended future.conditions. Florida Department of l conon c Opportunity Caldwell Building 107 E. Madison Street Tallahassee,H 32399 866.11„\.2345 850245.7105 850.921.3223 Fax www.floridaiobs.ort www.twitter.com/FLDEO www.facc-book.com%FI,D1 O Opa-Locka 15-1 ESR Comprehensive Plan Amendment July 9, 2015 Page 2 of 2 The fourth technical assistance comment pertains to the monitoring measures included within the amended Comprehensive Plan. These monitoring measures are provided in conjunction with numerous objectives included in each element of the Comprehensive Plan. The monitoring measures chosen typically represent achievement of a significant outcome or movement in such direction, and many are set up to measure progress in achieving the desired outcome. In many instances, however,the monitoring measures used do not include a reference baseline, such as to a point in time or other applicable condition,from which progress can be measured. In response,the City could revise the amendment to include such baseline reference points in the monitoring measures as to enable it to sufficiently track progress in achieving the associated objectives. The fifth technical assistance comment pertains to the revised future land use map included in the proposed amendment. The map does not illustrate the Streets future land use category, although it is understood from conversations with City staff that the City intends to retain this category. In response, the amendment could be revised to portray the Streets category on the future land use map. The City is reminded that pursuant to Section 163.3184(3)(b), F.S.,other reviewing agencies have the authority to provide comments directly to the City. If other reviewing agencies provide comments,we recommend the City consider appropriate changes to the amendment based on those comments. If unresolved,such comments could form the basis for a challenge to the amendment after adoption. The City should act by choosing to adopt,adopt with changes,or not adopt the proposed amendment. Also, please note that Section 163.3184(3)(c)1, F.S.,provides that if the second public hearing is not held and the amendment adopted within 180 days of your receipt of agency comments,the amendment shall be deemed withdrawn unless extended by agreement with notice to the state land planning agency and any affected party that provided comment on the amendment. For your assistance,we have enclosed the procedures for adoption and transmittal of the comprehensive plan amendment. We appreciate the opportunity to work with the City on planning and community development issues.

Staff Summary Local Government is required by Florida Statute 163.3167(2) to prepare a Comprehensive Development Master Plan [CDMPJ in compliance with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Act. According Florida Statute 163.3184, Local Governments are required to submit its complete proposed comprehensive plan or its complete comprehensive plan as proposed to be amended to the state land planning agency, presently known as the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Ordinance to Adopt and Transmit CDMP 1 Background In Fall of 2011, the City of Opa-locka with support of Opa-locka Communuity Development Corporation [OLCDC] applied for and received a USHUD Community Challenge Grant to update the City's CDMP and Land Development Code [LDC]. OLCDC worked with Reese Fayde Assocaites, South Florida Regional Planning Council and various subconsultants to develop a uinique CDMP based on the Florida Governor's Office Six-Pillar Economic Development Initiative. The CDMP document were submitted to City Staff and USHUD representatives in December 2014. After review, USHUD Staff and City Staff raised concerns on the CDMP document's format and whether it would meet the Florida Statute requirements as a guide for CDMP. In February 2014, PCD Staff worked in conjunction with the Corradino Group, the City Planning Consultant became responsible for drafting the new CDMP, the new LDC, and completed this draft of the CDMP. The CDMP document first draft was presented at a community workshop on October 21, 2014 to obtain public input concerning the plan.

Pinder, Comm .sioner Joseph Kelley, Commissio -r Luis B. Santiago, Commissi.ner FROM: Kelvin L. Baker, Sr., City Man. DATE: May 13, 2015 RE: An Ordinance of the City Commission to consider adopting the City of Opa-locka HUD Community Challenge Grant-Based Amendments to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan and to the Future Land Use Map, also known as the Sustainable Opa-locka 20130 Comprehensive Plan, and authorizing transmittal of these amendments to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and to other review agencies. Request: An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Opa-locka, Florida, to consider adopting the City of Opa-locka HUD Community Challenge Grant-Based Amendments to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan and to the Future Land Use Map, also known as the Sustainable Opa-locka 20/30 Comprehensive Plan, and authorizing transmittal of these amendments to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and to other review agencies. Description: Local Government is required by Florida Statute 163.3167(2) to prepare a Comprehensive Development Master Plan in compliance with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Act. According Florida Statute 163.3184, Local Governments are required to submit its complete proposed comprehensive plan or its complete comprehensive plan as proposed to be amended to the state land planning agency, presently known as the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Background: In Fall of 2011, the City of Opa-locka with support of Opa-locka Community Development Corporation [OLCDC] applied for and received a USHUD Community Challenge Grant to update the City's CDMP and Land Development Code [LDC]. OLCDC worked with Reese Fayde Associates, South Florida Regional Planning Council and various sub consultants to develop a unique CDMP based on the Florida Governor's Office Six-Pillar Economic Development Initiative. The CDMP document were submitted to City Staff and USHUD representatives in December 2014. After review, USHUD Staff and City Staff raised concerns on the CDMP document's format and whether it would meet the Florida Statute requirements as a guide for CDMP. In February 2014, PCD Staff worked in conjunction with the Corradino Group, the City Planning Consultant became responsible for drafting the new CDMP, the new LDC, and completed this draft of the CDMP. The CDMP document first draft was presented at a community workshop on October 21, 2014 to obtain public input concerning the plan. The Planning Council on October 28, 2014 reviewed and initially Ordinance to Adopt and Transmit CDMP recommended for approval of this proposed CDMP. Members of the community request a workshop be held on November 13, 2014 to gather more input from the community concerning the CDMP. A second Planning Council meeting was schedule in December 2014 to review and recommend approval of the CDMP to go before the City Commission. The CDMP was scheduled to be presented and reviewed to the City Commission on February 11, 2015, however it was deferred by the sponsor. The CDMP was returned to the Planning Council due to an equipment malfunction and the lack of accurate account of the council's comments and recommendations at the December 2014 meeting. At the March 3, 2015 Planning Council meeting the council reviewed the CDMP and the letter from OLCDC with their comments concerning the comprehensive plan. City Staff and the Corradino Group addressed the concerns presented by OLCDC. After must discussion the council voted to recommended additional workshops with City staff, the city consultant and OLCDC to address all the concerns of the Planning Council and the community. Workshops were held on March 17, 2015 and March 24, 2015. The City Staff also held meetings with OLCDC on March 18, 2015 and April 14, 2015. The input from OLCDC and the discussions with the Planning Council members were addressed and included [where appropriate] to modify the CDMP. The Planning Council was presented with the revised CDMP at a special meeting on April 14, 2015, where they approved this item by a 4-1 vote. Financial Impact: There is no financial impact to the City to adopt this Comprehensive Plan. Implementation Time Line: Immediately Legislative History: Ordinance 11-01 Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance. Planning Council Recommendation: The Planning Council recommended approval of this Ordinance.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: APPLICANT NAME: CITY OF OPA-LOCKA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REQUEST: FOR THE CITY COMMISSION TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA HUD COMMUNITY CHALLENGE GRANT-BASED AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP, ALSO KNOWN AS THE SUSTAINABLE OPA- LOCKA 20/30 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND AUTHORIZING TRANSMITTAL TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND REVIEW AGENCIES. Mr. Gay stated that there is only one item before you today, and it is the item you have previously heard at the last Planning Council meeting. This item is dealing with our Comprehensive Master Plan. I hope that you brought all of your documents necessary so that you can review it. As you all are aware, we have had workshops since our last 2IPage meeting to basically assist you in getting a better understanding of this Comprehensive Master Plan, it can be a little complex at times. We have done our best to bring you up to speed as to what this particular document is about. This is a document that is a requirement by State Statute so that we have to meet those particular criteria as it relates to the growth and development for the City of Opa-locka. Mr. Gay then introduced the City Planning Consultant, Alex David of the Corradino Group who is working with Mr. Jerry Bell who unfortunately could not be here tonight. Mr. David will make the presentation as it relates to the Comprehensive Master Plan. If you have any questions or concerns, I believe all of the documentations have been presented before you. And you should also be made aware that City Staff have had numerous conversations, one as late as this morning with Opa-locka CDC as it relates to our Comprehensive Plan. And we were able to come to some conclusion or to come to some points of reconciliation as it relates to the information that has been provided. This has been a long process, about two to two-and-one half years and we are winding down with the Comprehensive Plan portion of it. Subsequently, in the coming days and months, we will be presenting to you the partnering component to this particular document, which is the land development regulation and zoning ordinance. We will be going through the same adoption process for that document. On tonight we will be concerned with the Comprehensive Plan. So Mr. David is here to make his presentation, and we have staff here to assist, and if you have any questions or concerns you can place them on the record as well. Mr. David began his presentation, and began with an announcement reminder that a public workshop is scheduled April 16, 2015 from 6 pm to 8 pm, which will address how we are re-writing the zoning code. Getting back to the New Comprehensive Plan, Mr. Bell stated he believed that having the two workshops since the last planning council meeting made it a better document and we made good changes based on what was discussed at those meetings. The presentation being given tonight is the same as the one presented last month but we have made changes as per your comments at the workshop. Now each slide comment has a citation identifying the exact policy or objective related to it so that you can find it in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. David went through the presentation for a complete re-write of the City Comprehensive Plan and we are calling it Sustainable Opa-locka 20-30. We have re-written all of the elements, we are replacing 3IPagc the existing land use element with a new one, and we are looking at strategies that are specific to certain neighborhoods. We have discussed certain high points of the Future Land Use Element, and as we have requested during our workshop, like if we were discussing, creating a vibrant downtown, you could go to Objective LU-2 Policy, pages 8-11 in that document and that is where we are talking about that issue. Every one of these sides is tied to a policy or an objective and with the pages numbers in the document. That was a great suggestion at one of the workshops. We are also revising the Future Land Use Map of the City and we are looking at specific steps for economic development and redevelopment. Mr. David then asked, you all have the PowerPoint presentation in you package? Then I will be going this power-point fairly quickly, but the Chairman answered, don't go through too quickly because he wanted to fully understand it. Then the Chairman asked for clarification, for example, the LU-2 Policy. Mr. David explained that this policy is concerned with creating a vibrant downtown, so where we discussed this policy is found in objective 2 and this item is discussed in LU-2 on pages 8-11 of the Comprehensive Plan. Providing a strong manufacturing base, go to policy LU-7 in the Future Land Use Element and this policy is discussed on pages 34-36. That is how it is all laid out. This provides for buffering, protecting and enhancing resources, LU-12. I will proceed like this. The Redevelopment Element, we looked at specific steps that the City could take to attain its redevelopment goals and economic development goals. Improving the local economy, creating shopping districts, improving the City's Image, enhancing the City's tax base and attracting new businesses and new industries. What we did that many of you know, we have done a downtown concept plan and that ties in well to this plan, especially economic development and redevelopment. We created a new transportation element, which outlines a new multi-modal transportation, which looks at not only cars but looks at trains, busses, bikes, and pedestrians. We looked at improvements to bicycle and ped facilities, which is T-4 Also we looked to ensure safe and convenient and efficient transit, improving traffic circulation for cars and reducing emissions and green house gases. We also looked at new specific housing strategies based on redevelopment and so that is the overarching theme of the housing element. We 4IPagc also looked at assisting the private sector by providing all types of housing in the City for balance. We would have single family, duplex, townhouse and multi-family to provide a good mix of residential uses for different family types. We looked at eliminating sub- standard and dilapidated housing and increasing energy efficiency in this element. The element, Recreation and Open Space, the overarching theme is to provide a standard that has at least one acre of recreational space within a quarter mile of all residential areas to make it easily accessible to everyone. We looked at the Public Schools and Education Element and the big one here is to provide adult education and strategic training strategies that provide the education needed to attain the goals of economic development. Now these are your entire infrastructure that we had to update to bring them up to current statute. We looked at what was done by the CDC and based a lot of our information and referenced the Six Pillars and we updated the Map Series. This is an all-encompassing re-write of the City Comprehensive Master Plan. The next step if you recommend approval tonight we will take it to the City Commission, as it requires two hearings for adoption. Between the first hearing and the second hearing, we send it out to a number of State of Florida agencies and to HUD and to other agencies that would review this document and get their comments back. This is still a lengthy process to finish and we need the sign-off of a number of agencies. At the second hearing is when the Plan is adopted is when the Plan becomes the future guide for the City. Piggy backing on this is the next phase of this process which is the Land Development Regulations. That will be following this process. That concluded the presentation and Mr. David and he offered to answer any questions and if not he offered, through the Chairman to turn the floor back to Mr. Gay if he had any other comments. The Chairman asked the members if they had any questions for Mr. David. Member Rodriguez asked, on the housing element, what did you mean by offering a combination of housing, like duplexes, single family, etc. What I meant was different people require or want different types of housing. So every City should provide a variety of housing types for the needs of those citizens. Some people want single-family housing and some like attached or townhouses and some like multi-family. We need a good balance of different unit types for the City. Member Rodriguez continued, what about those areas that are single family only, are they supposed to be changed...because I would 5IPage not want a duplex next to me or to have a business next to me. The single-family homes, we would maintain that, we would not demolish the single family home and make it multi-family. The Chairman acknowledged Member Barnes' arrival; Member Barnes apologized for his tardiness. Mr. Gay asked to address the Council, concerning Member Rodriguez's question. There are certain types of zoning categories, and this is really getting further down the line into our companion project to this is. It deals more specific with the different types of housing types and the different business types, and whether they should be segregated in some way or if they should be integrated in another way, where you can have residential and commercial in the same location. That particular exercise will be a part of our land development regulation. For the most part, most of your areas that are single-family shall remain single- family. We are looking at some categories as it relates to what that single-family housing prototype is or what it can be, because there are different variations out there. There are some schools of thought where you have single-family where it is detached where everything is contained to your own personal yard on your own personal property. And then there is the school of thought where you have single-family attached which is usually more or less associated with townhome type developments, but there are new products that have come on the horizon where you have twin home type developments. Where you have two homes on one property, they basically, share a common wall but their property lines are actually separated. We are looking at if this may be a housing prototype that we would like to entertain in the City of Opa-locka. It would not affect this process because this is looking at the land use more so in a global sense. And that really gets down to the nuts and the bolts and the details. Like I said before we will be coming back before you and having community meetings as well, to get input from the community to see if them would like to see some more interesting and creative housing types that are existent in other parts of Miami-Dade County. Member Tydus asked What were are considering tonight is for the City Commission to consider an Ordinance adopting this plan, how does that all tie in to the workshop that is scheduled for Segal Park on Thursday and How does it affect what we are doing tonight? Mr. David responded, we are re-writing the zoning code also but that 6WPage is a separate process from this process. The meeting on Thursday is dealing specifically with the zoning code, you know, your setbacks, building heights, mixed use, etc; it is more concerned with the development of a site and includes the re-writing of the code. What we are dealing with tonight is a future document that looking out 30 years whereas the zoning code or the land development regulations says if want to build something this is how you have to build it. It is the Zoning Code or the Land Development Regulations. The Chairman addressed Mr. Gay and asked him to walk the Council through the document that he sent out to the board concerning the discussion you had with the CDC. The point of the workshops that we had and the meetings we setup was to come to some type of conclusion on how things were going to be handled. Mr. Gay directed the Board to their packages and asked them to view the memorandum that was addressed to him from his staff giving a summary of the discussions we have had with Opa-locka CDC as it relates to the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Gay continued, Just to give you a little history, when this process was initiated where the City and Opa-locka CDC were working on the Comprehensive Plan in a cooperative fashion. This was prior to my arriving to the City, as we began to go through the process and we began to go through that draft there were some concerns that the way the Draft was written, and the format that it followed, there were some concerns as to whether it actually met the Florida Statutes. And even though it did address some of the Florida Statutes, within that particular document there were some concerns that this particular document was a little more of an economic development document because it related to the six pillars which more so focused on economic development versus Florida State Statutes. The City took that particular document, and through our Consultant, the Corradino Group, we gathered their information and reorganized the document so that it would follow the procedures as it relates to State Statutes. Now at the same time as a part of the Community Challenge Grant, which was the funding source from US HUD, for this entire process, Opa-locka CDC did go through the process of identifying additional documents which were important to the overall development and they have provided supporting documents that are a part of this entire process. And these documents are lined out, and there is a brief narrative of each document and the type of information that 7IPage was provided within those documents. They did a Downtown Strategy Plan; there was a plan to focus on Historic Preservation. There was another plan that look at Economic Development Strategy and another that looked at the Current Conditions in the City of Opa-locka. This is a process that has been going on for the last two and One half to three years. So this has been an immense amount of work, and every document has its own relevancy, every document has its importance, because every document plays a role as it relates to the overall development of the City of Opa-locka. The Chairman asked, so when this process started, the CDC was on board as a partner? Mr. Gay answered, that is correct. And he added, we still consider them (CDC) a partner, we still have conversations with them, as it relates to the documents that have been produced through this process. Chairman Russell continued, so with the workshops and the meetings that was taking place, do you feel that you accomplished any goals that would move us forward? Mr. Gay answered, overall, there were conversations in which we saw their point of view as it relates to certain aspects of their documents and what it focused on and what they were trying to achieve, which was an innovative way of approaching the comprehensive master plan. This was I think a first attempt to do a Comprehensive Master Plan that followed the Six Pillar process versus what was considered the standard process of addressing it based on the Florida State Statutes. The Chairman then opened the Public Hearing. The first speaker was Mr. Daunte Starks, began with, the presentation that was given was very good but raised some concerns that I had, and verified some of the things I want to put on the table. I think Commissioner Tydus mentioned, this workshop that they are having on Thursday, and how does it affect what you are viewing today? I did not see it published in the City Commission Agenda, but the Gentleman did mention that it is happening Thursday. I think that is one of the problems, as to why the chamber is empty on such an important matter. This is one of the most important boards prior to meeting the City Commission on sending the Comprehensive Master Plan out. When we talk about Mixed Use, and getting the most out of the land that is here, when you look to 8IPagc the west-side which is the gateway into the City from the Connector Road, which is Douglas Road, and you look at the antiquated Barracks. I did not hear him speak about that area. That is a prime area for Mixed Use. You've got stores, you've got large swats of land, with commercial coming from Ali baba North to Salih Street; and from Sharazad back to the Connector. This how you build the economic status of your city bringing people in with the approved commercial on the bottom with residential on the top. You can go to Midtown, this is how they are building that up, you can go to Miami Lakes, which has been the center around the downtown area, and they go up. You get more money going up, and you have your business there when the people come home. You've got the transit hub with the Tri-rail so that is one particular area if it is not in here I would like to see it being brought forward from the Council and attached to what you are sending up. The other thing that I heard the gentleman talk about was if you go into Coconut Grove, you go down Biscayne Blvd; they have what is called attached homes. Where you can take one lot and the folio is split into two and now you will get maximum dollars, for probably more house because now they can go up. Now you will have two entrances on one property. Not a duplex like what Mrs. Oria was talking about, but you've got two single family homes but instead of being detached into one you've got two. Now you are taking your tax base and almost doubling it per empty lot that needs to be developed. They have done about a dozen demolitions throughout the City. So that is another thing, I don't know if it is in a particular area , but if you go into the City of Miami or Coral Gables, it is basically city wide. They are approved lots, and there is a minimum size that you have to have and those houses, not duplexes, the houses that are sold, they attract younger families into what is normally an older type neighborhood, and it spurs new development. I know they mentioned that the problem is you got this going on, then they said, about the land use with the zoning going on later, and if this goes off and that doesn't match when does it all come together, is my other concern. If we send this off and the land use doesn't match what we send off do we come back, do we get a chance to amend it? I would like to see that brought up tonight from the Council. The attached houses, city-wide, in which every residential neighborhood that have those lots that fit, those type homes come that can come in. I know most of Opa-locka has nice 9IPagc lots because of the military type housing that they built here. They built small houses but there is a lot of room so this will probably fit more in this City than any other City. Then when we look at going outside of the Downtown Area, I know they had the mixed use for Downtown going along Opa-locka Blvd. Going back towards 27th Avenue, if we could get whoever to address it, what is the use of that land going Opa-locka Blvd, leaving from Old City Hall, not the Downtown, I know that is already mixed use. When you cross that track, you've got commercial in there and you've got residential, then you've got the gateway where they put in the little triangle thing and you've got the old Kentucky going down, what is happening in that area going back toward City Hall versus the standard stuff. Debra Irby: 14202 NW 17th Avenue Opa-locka FL, 33054. I have some concern with comprehensive plan. First of all, I would like to know where were these community forums held? How were we notified? I knew nothing about it and I'm very active in this community, I'm associated with several organizations, homeowners and groups, never heard from you guys. What citizens did you meet with? I would really like to know. We should have been notified properly just like the gentleman said, there is a meeting on Thursday which I would not have known that if I wasn't seating here. So just like when the commission need stuff advertised, and it goes in the paper, the water bill and it may come separately in your mail. We need to be notified because this is important to us, we live here. The tax payers live here so you and then we have not seen a broad stroke of certain area that has not being designated with considerable thoughts that will impact the community. Now the comprehensive plan, it designate a large part of the City; corridor mix use. Such as all 135th street, Ali baba Avenue and the southwest part of the City that's just to name a few. And, it will allow up to 150 units per acre. Why are we putting this type of intensity development in areas where we already have problems, such as; no parking, bad infrastructure, and limited park access? Now we have not seen a capital improvement schedule to show that we're going to spend our limited funds in these areas. Now the three areas where the mix use should be is; Opa-locka Blvd from city hall to 27th avenue, 37th avenue, to Sharazad blvd and Ali baba avenue from Sesame Street to the west side of 27th Avenue. So that would be my suggestion to the planning council for 101Pat c amendments and please include the citizens, we must know. We're going to be here, the tax payer even when we go we're going to leave folks here that's going to pay for all this by the way, and then the plan the forty million the City received that should be part of the comprehensive plan. Because all of this we're planning on doing increase density, infrastructure has to be upgraded, so all of that should be included. And I've seen several comprehensive plans being prepared in Opa-locka. I just want to know I still see a lot of spot zoning in the City and the spot zoning should be a big part of this comprehensive plan, and I would like to know what we are doing with all the spot zoning. So please consider this before you consider submitting anything to the Commission and please make certain that the tax payers are involved. We need to know now just like I don't know who's going to be at the meeting Thursday, probably nobody, because nobody's going to know. I'm not going to go back and start yelling and calling people to come. Because it should have been done already thank you. John Cook: 14580 NW 27 avenue, I'm also very active in the city and I got a call about thirty minutes ago to come here to listen to a very, I guess interesting proposal, about what you're going to do for our city. I think I've heard this numerous times from different company and everybody have their own ideas of what's best for the city. As Debra mentioned the spot zoning is unbelievable, the project is not perfect for the city but what bothers me the most is I didn't really have had the chance to get into it. This presentation was interesting but the rebuttal was better. At what point do you include us? I knew nothing about this. At what point does the residents have access to say something about the development of the city. You were appointed by the commissioners, we voted the commissioners into office, and they're an extension of you. But we should have something to say a lot more than a five minutes in a meeting when you know thirty minutes in advance what's going on. Like Debra said when did you have the workshops and who was actually there? We're part of this city I have been here for fifty five years longer than any of all of you even known the name of Opa-locka. What I have seen a downtown is destroyed every time someone come into the city they have a new idea seems like the money goes to different directions no body's on the same page. It seems to me the meeting we're having on Thursday night is a little bit after the fact because this 11IPagc meeting determines where the land use is going to be then we get to determine the size. Are you kidding me? At what point do you include us? Do you think we don't know any better? Do you think we don't have the intelligence to decide what's best for the city? Thank you. Mr. Russell: thank you Sir. Public hearing still open. Johnny M. Green: 2091 Wilmington Street; as it has been said before I came up. If I had not being here I would not know about the meeting that's going to be held on Thursday. I have not received anything in the mail, I haven't seen anything on Opa-TV, and so I mean the Citizens should be a part of all of this. Now I chair the homeowners association, we have not had the committee to meet with the citizens. I understand that someone said that homeowners agreed with this plan, that's a lie. How can we agree to something we don't know about? Now, I know you said you're going to have workshops and workshops have been held. But I have not been a part of that, I have not been notified, and I'm the chair. So that's bad move itself So I would like to have the board to amend the land use category by allowing single family home family attached home. Because we can get more people, we save land that would bring revenue into the city. Because the way it is now and if you go that way people looking for different things, if you come up with, if it's a townhouse than you have ownership instead of renters, and I'm talking about the magnolia area because that's where I live. There has been lots of housing that have been torn down I know that there will be much more. So what we need to do you need to meet with the citizen and let the citizen have an impact on this before you move it any further for it to go to the Commission? We need to be a part of this, which we have not had, that's really sad. Ok just think about the citizens because we are here, we live here some don't live here so we know what we want in our City to grow, thank you. Mr. Russell: thank you. Bob Cambric: "Good evening Mr. Chair", he stated his name and address. As Mr. Gay indicated this has been a wonderful partnership between the City, the Citizens and Opa- locka CDC to get this far with this document with the overall theme has always been where is the opportunity to improve the quality of life for Opa-locka residents, business and visitors. The integration of the plan that Mr. Gay indicated did make an attempt to 12IPage look at the plan in a nontraditional sense. What Florida law said is do a map and at some point in the future that map will become something you can give me five (5) Planners have them look at that map then you'll get about seven different ideas about what it will be 10 years from now. What you need to be looking at is that the map doesn't drive what happens, job opportunities and visitors, and the image of the community begins to drive those things. The plan has done for most part there is consensus overall except for three areas which were also express by some of the Citizens has a concern. One of the main area try to look at is the barracks which is the area where you have military houses which are over 50 years old and that represent some of the most opportunity that you may have as to begin the process of redeveloping within the community. What this plan is doing is bifurcating the barrack and not giving the opportunity to entice the private sector for coming with new development. It's a statement to developers and visitors in regards to where the City is looking to generate different type of development and the Capital Improvement Schedule to say here is how we're going to make happen. We're advocating that it'll be done better that the barracks area be treated cohesively as a mix use category as you have in other area of the community. The mix use where to focus on where is the best opportunity first as the rest of the community began to develop subsequently. And so we have recommended the mix use to also be extended throughout the barracks area. The other issue that's been brought up is regarding the magnolia gardens area. One of the things that you mentioned is that you have tear downs within that area but under the comprehensive plan you leave magnolia gardens as low density residential and the only thing you can ever build there is single family detached. We bring a private developer to try to market that product it will be unaffordable to Opa- locka residents, you can't buy the land develop it and sale it at a price that is accessible. What you can do with the single family attached is to make more market oriented where it will be more affordable to current and future Opa-locka residents therefore there is a solution there where you keep that designation and call it Magnolia north neighborhood and basically say you can build single family attached as well as detached. And also use it as an opportunity to allow for more development. The other point is what you are doing with this plan. Mr. Gay: you have to be on the record. Bob: you created a land use map where you can build up to 150 residential units you've also create; what's call the 13IPagc corridor mix use category and you want to focus economic development in your downtown. But the proposed category you are going to put along magnolia gardens 150 dwelling unit per acre and every major road corridor becomes 150 units per acre throughout the city. There were community form that the CDC did hold that actually said don't do that as much that soon, however to do it in a target it manner. Along Opa-locka blvd, along Ali-baba and along NW 27 Avenue you got an area triangulates to downtown. I'm sorry I'm finishing, I'm done. Thank you for your time. Mr. Russell (Chairman) says: thank you. Mr. Russell: We kind of extended the time limit for the public to express themselves, public hearing is still open, anyone else? Public hearing closed, Mr. Russell: Mr. Gay you address some of those issues? Mr. Gay: yes, in response to well several people spoke about what I like to call twin homes or the single family attached. That is a fairly new product to south Florida. I'll say about 10 to 15 years you seen it grow especially in the coconut grove area in the city of Miami which is actually taking over the grove for lack of a better phrase. There are some other areas within Miami-Dade County mostly the suburban areas those type of development are taking place also. In terms of the land use, that's what we're covering today. This particular type of product is allow or can be allowed within the land use because the land use covers the separation as it relates to single family, duplex, multifamily. We're had a very interesting conversation earlier today as it relates to whether this housing type are considered to be duplex or single family? Now based on my past experience this particular housing type is not allowed within the single family zoning district of the city of Miami, it is allow in the duplex area of the city of Miami. Now the city of Miami did go back and make some zoning changes, where they did a modification to make it a little bit more flexible in seeing how these housing prototypes are being perceived. Even to reach back to the past as to when Miami was first founded in the 1930's or 1940's, you had single regular family and also there was allowed in-laws quarters or granny flats, and they actually brought that type of housing product back into the code. For a number of years it wasn't even considered unless you were able to show that you had that type of housing previously. Now as matter of fact, based on the age of Opa-locka, if you look at around the magnolia area and 14II' age stand within the public right of way and peep, you'll see there are actually a few housing sites in the city that has a single family house in the front and a granny flat in the rear. They exist here, so we're going to be further analyzing that and see if there is further opportunity but that's something that will be addressed more so in the zoning code as oppose to within the land use. Within the land use, as long as its single family and you have zoning that addresses that it should be allowed. As it relates to the barracks area, we had several conversations regarding that area. That area does offer opportunities for great amount of development, as it stands right now it is an area that is within 20-25 acres of land that has these military style homes. Which in my honest opinion it is not the best type of housing product period. In fact, there are other areas that actually got rid of that type of housing because they were highly associated with public housing. A large amount of public housing utilized this type housing prototype before. So, we're going to be looking at that, I know that it is a concern for number of years before and it is still a concern now and we've had some issues as it relates to a property that was recently re- zoned some years ago and wasn't codified for staff today to recognize it. We're making modifications to that area nonetheless. As it relates to mix use, there are opportunities within the barracks area, in fact presently there more less about a 3rd of the property more less from Ali-baba to fisherman is currently designated with a mix use overlay. We also perceive this area as priority in terms of redevelopment. However, I don't want to move ahead prematurely and designate the whole barrack area as mix use and then we may have gone too far ahead in changing the uses. If we were to change it to mix use today someone could come along and decide to run a corner store out of those houses. I'm not sure if that's what we'll desire but if that modification is made today; that is an opportunity that could occur and I've seen it occur in other communities. As it relates to the mixed-use; the mix use was legislation that was passed by the City Commission about one (1) year ago. It basically went ahead of the comprehensive plan and the zoning code. As it went through its process the mix use depends on who you talk to; it change forms and in some cases it got bigger. There are some areas that are considered mix use in my opinion should not be at this day and time. That is something that we're going to have to live with because it's a legislation we can revisit it for modification and just because that legislation is in place doesn't mean that those areas will be develop entirely mixed use. In 15II) aue terms of the infrastructure and the forty million dollars that's an ongoing process as a part of the comprehensive plan we have made a tallied or analysis to basically input all of the infrastructure improvement that are to occur over the next three to five years within the document so that it is recognized. And finally as it relates to the advertisement, this particular meeting we advertised it and it was an oversight not to include it in the commission list, we've gone to the step of putting it on the website, even do code red where if someone is registered you'll received a phone call regarding all the workshops. We've gone through every step necessary other than coming personally inviting people by the hand to try to make to the meeting, we've try to provide the information to the general public as much as possible. As some of you said I saw you here in the building however as mentioned you were here for a different type of event. This is not to say we got the word out to everybody and there are not areas to better improve how we give out this information, but we did do the most to get everyone informed and will continue to strive to get everyone inform regarding this ongoing comprehensive plan and zoning code initiative to the point where we'll make contact to those homeowners association, and businesses to have a sit down one on one with them we'll make that attempt as well. I think that address pretty much all the questions and concerns, unless you have any additional questions or issues that could be brought up, I'll reserve my time. Mr. Russell: Mr. Gay you talked about coconut grove and the city of Miami not allowing; they call them you know the type of housing that goes straight up they are single family home down there in Miami. Mr. Gay: actually they're not; the city of Miami doesn't consider them as single family. Mr. Russell: ok, but they have built them up all across in the city of Miami. Mr. Gay: just to add a little bit detail to it: the twin home that have actually been built in the city of Miami actually goes through a process; where condo association documentation has to be produced as joint ownership. Mr. Russell: they are building them right? Mr. Gay: they are building them, as I mentioned before that is a type of housing that is fairly new to the City and I'm interested to see if those type of development can be build in the city of Opa-locka, I reserve to other comments; we're looking at it. 16IPage Mr. Russell: Regarding the advertising we're always concerned about how we're getting the information out to the people and when we don't have people at the meeting obviously we're missing our mark in reaching out as we hear all the time we live here. So it's important that we get the inputs from the citizens. We have meetings but no one shows up, we just had a meeting and we just did what we require but we don't have anybody there to really listen to what we have to say so that was perfect that we had the meeting with the board, that was successful so. We have to work harder than that because of a long list it shouldn't sleep up. Therefore we should make sure it stays on so it can get out there to the people. That was an oversight from the city, now on we'll make sure that all of our meeting at least make the publication in the City Commission list we will continue to put information in the Miami Herald and the daily business review or any other publication that is well recognize and is licensed to conduct such business in advertising for public meeting. We will continue to put it on our website, and our own commissioner was the one that suggested that we use the code red so we'll continue to use the code red to communicate with people and trying to get that information out as soon as possible. Mr. Guerrero: going back with the twin home issue, isn't that already existing in our current land development code, reason why I say that is because I believe I've seen some of those along 135th if I'm not mistaken? We have two (2) single families home where the wall is going up to the roof to divide them both? Mr. Gay: I'm not aware of any; I know that there are duplexes. Mr. Guerrero: what would be the differences in definition between a duplex and a twin home? Mr. Gay: that's actually part of the conversation we had earlier today based on and this is more of a zoning issue instead of a land use issue. In most cases when you have a duplex housing there is one owner the owner can decide to rent one side and live on the other or the owner can decide to rent both side. As it relate to the twin homes you actually have two (2) separate owners and usually the owners have a document which is usually a condominium document to show the joint ownership of the land of the partitioned wall that separate the two (2) units but there are looked at as two (2) separate houses. 17IPage Mr. Germane: Chairman, permission to speak? Mr. Russell: yes, go ahead. Mr. Germane: once again I apologize for my tardiness, from listening to the people in the audience and reading through this document and presentation made by the Corradino Group and listening to you Mr. Gay. From the actual paper said which future land use element objective is to create a vibrant downtown and mix use corridor why do we go against that by not allowing the barracks to be mix use which is adjacent to downtown is not like you can separate the two if you're in downtown you're actually a stone throw from the barracks, so to me that seems contradictory. To maintain and improve residential neighborhood objectives; so if the individuals whom live in the neighborhood finds that we're not doing something that they want, to me that seems contradictory. And then next I think probably the biggest thing, the opportunity of us creating this new document allow for us to be creative in a sense when you mentioned there are other area that has not adopted this type, I think it is for Opa-locka to be ahead of the pack instead of always imitating other cities. Because a lot of time what we see is what can we do that Miami lakes has already done, Hialeah has already done, that Coconut Grove has already done, Miami has already done. Why not do it, and let other communities say let's do what Opa-locka has already done. If one of those things is to create a single family attached home, that doesn't go against the actual objective that the Corradino Group placed before me it would seems as though a lot of those issues that the audience are having is consistent with the plan in fact an addition to what the plan is proposing. So when you say that you don't want small duplex to become a corner store but then two seconds later say if we allow mix use corridor along 135th we're going to assume that someone won't actually build 150 unit is going backward to me it seems. So to me I'll say, I'll like to hear the opinion of my fellow board members regarding if the things that we're hearing right now does not go against what's been proposed from my understanding this document is not supposed to be too specific instead it's a broad umbrella to allow us to develop our future. Why would we hinder that by taking away aspect that will help develop our city? Can somebody explain that to me please? Sorry for being so long. Mr. Russell: Mr. Gay, Mr. Lee? Mr. Gay: I'll take the lead on that, actually I thought that councilman Germane was trying to poll the council. Mr. Russell: can repeat that I missed it. Mr. Gay: it seems that, Councilman Germane wanted to hear the opinion 181 Page of the Councils before I can proceed with an answer, if not I'll answer now. Mr. Russell: oh ok, we can do that. Mr. Gay: but if you want me to speak, I can. Mr. Russell: me, isn't the barracks in the CRA area? Mr. Gay: yes, it is. Mr. Russell: is that the area we're trying to revitalize and we really don't want to move or open it up for whatever reason? Mr. Gay: we're not saying that we don't want to. Mr. Russell: what are we saying? Mr. Gay: we're looking at the comprehensive plan and the land use in such a way that, well previously there was legislation passed that actually creates a mix use overlay as part of a zoning code modification instead of a land use modification. It allows you to mix commercial and residential and also in some cases it allows you to mix commercial and industrial on the same property. When you're doing residential, based on how the legislation was written, it allows for you to build up to about 150 units/ acre. Now in most cases especially where the barracks is located, there are other factors to take under consideration. The main factor is the proximity to the Opa-locka Airport. Any type of development that were to occur within the barracks area if they wanted to go high in density between 6-7 stories, they will be subject to get clearance from the FAA in order to do that. Even with some of their legislation that I've heard even when they allow for 150 units/ acre, they'll only allow for the building to be from 3-5 stories high. When looking into the type of development to go in this area the amount of parking it will require especially for mix use sort of cancel out that possibility because it will determine how big of a building you can actually build within those property. We've look into the barracks information where its reference the type of development such as low to moderate, mix use, with retail on the ground floor and you can do a variety type of residential up above. We're looking at it more so from a global sense vs. being too specific in terms of density and intensity. And also if you looking at it from a community development stand point, you also have the magnolia north area. Mr. Russell: but Mr. Gay, even if you had to get clearance that doesn't mean, you would have to get clearance. When looking at the flight path, it goes over golf course that area where you have the runways and stuff, unfortunately I sat out there from time to time and I'll watch the planes go in and out. So there is a possibility of maybe getting approval. Mr. Gay: the FAA has their own regulation when it comes to development near airport so I have to defer to them. Mr. Russell: what I'm saying is to get there and know how we have to 19IPaue approach it, my biggest thing is that is part of the CRA and we're supposed to be revitalizing that area, any other Council Member? Mr. Germane: I have one more, go ahead Ms. Tydus. Ms. Tydus: as far as I'm concern most of the issue that were raised by the people in the audience as well as my fellow Board Member seem to be address in the land use plan itself. just a matter of the zoning lining up with the land use, with what we're considering today; I see some heads shaking yes and no, which one is right?. Mr. Russell: go ahead finish M. Tydus. Ms. Tydus: can I hear from those that are shaking their heads? Mr. Russell: well, the public hearing has closed. Mr. Germane: I can help you out Ms. Tydus; so far we've heard three things. One was; the lack of the barracks being a part of the mix use corridor; the second was the attached single family home within the magnolia gardens; and thirdly the oversaturation with the mix use corridor throughout the city so can that be reduced. Within the document that we were given from last week, within the actual policy if you refer to policy LU 1.7, it doesn't actually show the barracks mix use. It shows magnolia north, high density, commercial, downtown but the barracks is not a part of that. So what the citizens are saying this portion needs to be added. What the Chairman is saying since its part of the CRA it should be implemented within the comprehensive plan. Then the other that's missing is the part about the magnolia gardens aspect. In the magnolia gardens it does signify the single family detached but does not signify single family attached, and what we're saying is if it's already done throughout the city why not allow it in the magnolia gardens area since the people in the audience raised that as a concern and as a resident myself who live within the Magnolia North area one thing I know for sure is most people cannot afford a single family home as of now. And in this document if we're unable to give it to them half the price and create an economically viable city then we're not doing that. I say all that to say this; at this point I'll like to use my right as a board member to add three amendments to this document referring to the three points that I've heard from these actual citizens. I believe as a board member I have the right to do that is that correct city lawyer? Mr. Russell: what would you like to do? Mr. Germane: I'll like to amend with the three amendments. Mr. Russell: yes, you can do that. Mr. Germane: Am I over stepping my boundary? Attorney Brown: I don't think there was a motion to adopt the plan, before you can amend anything there needs to be a motion on the floor to adopt the plan. 20IPagc Mr. Russell: We put efforts to workshop with community development and CDC to get to these points; I'll make a motion to adopt those and attorney to give us a resolution to make that happen. Attorney Brown: Let me be clear on what you doing. Right now there has not been a motion to adopt the comprehensive plan? Mr. Russell: Right. Attorney Brown: Then the question becomes are you going to put a motion to adopt the plan and add the friendly amendments? Based on what the Councilman said and then approve those friendly amendments. Or do you want staff to go back and study what you're recommending and bring back their recommendations regarding what you're attempting to add to the comprehensive plan via an amendment. Mr. Germane: At this point I'd like to add these points to the plan because from our previous workshops we started to talk in circles and I'm afraid that if this goes back again that we're going to get the same exact response because they don't want these things in the document but from what I hear from the audience they do want these things in the document. — Unquote: the City Attorney, Mr. Brown explain the procedure regarding how to conduct the motion and the friendly amendments. Mr. Russell: Can we get a motion to approve the document? Mr. Germane: I move to accept the 20/30 Opa-locka Comprehensive Plan. Attorney Brown: Is there a second? Mr. Guerrero: Second. Mr. Russell: We have a second, roll call. 211Pa :e Mr. Germane: I'd like to make a friendly amendment, so I would like to make three friendly amendments; the first one, Attorney Brown: Hold on, you're the maker of the motion. You can't friendly amend the motion; somebody else has to make the motion. Ms. Tydus: Can I ask a question before we continue. Is there a particular deadline for this document to be submitted to the state, and is this amendment going to require any additional reviews by the public or by anybody? Attorney Brown: What has happened from my understanding is that you all had a series of workshops and based the outcome of those workshops this is what the department of Community Development along with the expert you've hired come up with. They come up with this Comprehensive Development Master Plan what you are seeking to approve here and recommend to the City Commission to adopt. That's what my understanding is. Mr. Guerrero: I have a question; I second the motion before he started the friendly amendments. What happened to that? Attorney Brown: He's the maker of the motion, he moved the item; he can't friendly amend his own motion. Normally friendly amendments come from someone who's not friendly amending the motion. Mr. Russell: So we have that, Ms. Tydus you want to make the friendly amendments? Attorney Brown: Councilman Tydus do you want to make the amendment? Ms. Tydus: I make the motion. Attorney Brown: hold on, let's start over. 22IPage Mr. Russell: the attorney has the floor; the attorney has the floor at this time. If I'm not confused, I think I am. There were two motions made and two motion second. Mr. Russell: that motion we withdraw, because you said that there had to be a motion to adopt the plan. Attorney Brown: let's start over, who's making a motion to adopt the plan. Ms. Tydus: I make a motion to adopt the plan. Attorney Brown: Do we have a second? Mr. Guerrero: I second it. Attorney Brown: Ms. Tydus, do you accept the friendly amendments? Ms. Tydus: yes. Attorney Brown: so, you accept the three friendly amendments his wants to add to the comprehensive plan? Ms. Tydus & Mr. Guerrero: we don't have them in writing, we haven't seen them, and we don't know what they are? Attorney Brown: well, He's read them into the record. Once he's read them into the record now it becomes the clerk job to record them as amendments to the comprehensive development master plan. He's (councilman Germane Barnes) passing them out now. Does anybody from the public want to have a copy of these amendments to the comprehensive plan that he's (councilman Germane Barnes) passing out now? There is a young lady in the back with the green blouse who wishes to see them. It's a public document please distribute to whom so ever wishes to see them. Mr. Gay: Mr. Chair (Calvin Russell) if we can ask councilman Germane Barnes to basically identify the document that's been presented? And where from this document these amendments are deriving from because this document here has a multitude of different points and concerns and I need to make sure that as we make these amendments that the actual point to the amendment to the motion are address and not everything that is containing within this particular document. Mr. Germane: definitely, ok so. Mr. Russell: what's your amendment? Mr. Germane: so the first from the amendment is within policy LU 1.7; we add the following role to the table and that's the barracks as a mix use corridor and so 23IPa e within that. Attorney Brown: ok, hold on; read the amendment into the record without you explaining it. What we want to do is get the amendment read into the record and be clear as to what the amendment is. It sounds like you were about to explain it. Mr. Germane: that's exactly what's in the amendment, ok, got you. Mr. Germane: the next one is; to mend the policy LU 2.6 as follows; the city through its land development regulation shall allow live work residential use secondary and work live residential use secondary within appropriate location of the downtown district, major corridor mix use, the barracks mix use and magnolia north mix use. Attorney Brown: ok, that's number two (2) and mows number three. Mr. Germane: add new objective LU 6 the area designated as the barracks mix use in the 20/30 future land use map. Shall be redeveloped vertically as a walk able, as an art district that features public arts and open spaces. A range of housing type to improve internal traffic flow and connectivity. Attorney Brown: ok, councilwoman Tydus. Mr. Germane: I'm not finished. Attorney Brown: I thought you said three. Mr. Russell: I thought you said three, so you have to be finished. Attorney Brown: how many amendments are you making? Because you read three, unless my math has failed me tonight. Mr. Germane: no, no, your math is 100% correct. It was my understanding that if multiple one is related to the same topic then it was its own singular. Attorney Brown: so that was one a, b, and c then. Mr. Germane: right, if that makes any sense. Attorney Brown: it does. So have we finished reading amendment number one into the record? How many subparts to it? Mr. Germane: amendment number one has fourteen subparts to it, which is a lot to read. But that's only within the actual comprehensive plan; it breaks down the actual language into like fifteen different points. So the idea is to keep the consistency in the language. Mr. Russell: I think if you want to amend some specific points, we have to make it just to those points. We don't want to say we're amending those three points but we have four pages of information. I think the attorney said it must be specific to the amendment. Attorney Brown: well he is being very specific as to what he's amending within those three points. He's got amendment one that has fourteen subparts to it, and then he may have amendment two which may have twenty subparts to it, and amendment three which may have thirty subparts to it. So, there was a motion, there was a second accepting the friendly amendment to add those three amendments with subparts to them. Although you did not identify there was subpart to the 24IPa . e amendments in general. Therefore if you going to read them into the record let's go ahead and read them into the record. Mr. Germane: the document outlines the all of the subparts to the amendment. I'm willing to read them into the record and you can let me know if you want me to and adopt the three amendments. Attorney Brown: that's up to the Chairman. Mr. Russell: yeah Ms. Tydus. Ms. Tydus: This is too much for me to digest right now it really is, it's too much cross referencing that needs to be done and I can't do it on the spot like that, I just can't. Mr. Russell: yeah, I think it's a little much for me to digest myself. I hate to do it but I think it needs to be deferred, and maybe give Community Development time to review it and also allow us, the council board, to review it. Because receiving this in our hands, I don't want to make decision that fast without having complete understanding. As we always hear people say; the decision we make we have to live with them. Attorney Brown: let me tell you what you need to do; the maker of the motion needs to withdraw its motion, Councilwoman Tydus needs to withdraw her motion and then give a motion to defer the item. Ms. Tydus: ok, I withdraw my motion. Attorney Brown: there needs to be a motion to defer the item. Mr. Russell: I'll like to give a motion to defer the item so that we can review and give community development the opportunity to review and the citizen as well. Can we get a motion? Ms. Tydus: I motion to defer the item. Mr. Russell: we have a motion from Ms. Tydus can we get a second? Mrs. Rodriguez: I second. Mr. Russell: we have a second, can we have roll call: Ms. Hall (clerk) Roll Call: Germane Barnes: No Elio Guerrero: Yes Oria Rodriguez: Yes Rose Tydus: Yes Chairman Calvin Russell: Yes Ms. Hall: The item passed. Attorney Brown: Next item on the agenda? Mr. Russell: that's the only item on the agenda. Attorney Brown: then is there a motion to adjourn? Mr. Russell: wait let me see do we have any other business. Mr. Gay: that was the only business that we had for this agenda. May I suggest since we've deferred this particular item as Council Tydus had 25IPa e eluted to earlier. There isn't necessarily a time constraint for us to submit it to the state. However, there is some time constraint to submit this information to our financier, which is USHUD. What we will do in the process is that since this pretty an item that is area specific, and because we have to have our submission in order to recoup the funding to pay for this particular entire exercise. What the department will be doing is submitting it in draft form as it is right now to USHUD. They are going to look at it and basically say, you did what you were assigned to do. They're not judging it, critiquing it; they're not making any amendment to it. So, we'll be sending a draft form to USHUD since it is due by the end of this month. We will be forwarding that to them and submit to you a letter expressing we will be forwarding this document to USHUD in order for the city to meet our final obligation towards USHUD requirements. Attorney Brown: can I make a suggestion and if the Council has the availability because a certain deadline must be met. Why don't you all reconvene or call a meeting for one day or Friday of either early next week with proper notice and go ahead and get this issue resolved. Because if there is one item on the agenda and that will be this item on the agenda and the presentation is already being done. The expert will look at what is being presented to the Council Board this evening and see how it plays into the comprehensive Development master plan. But at least you have a date certain to get this issue resolve and you already have the Council's issues are and concerns and how they will play into the overall comprehensive master plan. And the consultant, staff can meet with each of the Council man to get resolved. You all can have a meeting early Monday next week. Mr. Gay: if I can piggy back to have a motion to continue this meeting to that date certain? Mr. Russell: we have done that in the past. Attorney Brown: no, we adjourn this meeting tonight, you going to properly notice it and hold the meeting next week. Proper notice means through those publications that are widely read by the citizens of Opa-locka not the daily business review that does not come into the city of Opa-locka, the publications whether it be the Miami times, the Miami herald, the City's website, the water bill however you decide you want to do it. But you cannot publish it in the daily business review. Technically it complies with the statutes but you know these are citizens of the City and you have to give them a fair share on things. Mr. Gay: if I may, there are other advertisement requirement time constraints as it relates to this document being published. There is a ten 26IPage days window, so we won't be able to meet that requirement as it relates to a meeting for next week. This will basically push this item off for at least two weeks and we're talking about getting the advertisement done by tomorrow. That's why I ask for the continuance of this meeting. Attorney Brown: proper notice mean; posting it on the City's website, Clerk's office, the question come whether you want to spend the money to notice it otherwise, I'm just the Attorney here I'm not staff however you all chose to do it. I'm just trying to help you meet a deadline to a certain date. Y'all can't be having those whispering conversation. This is a public meeting and everything needs to be stated on the record. Councilwoman you have to talk into the microphone. Mrs. Rodriguez: I make a motion to adjourn the meeting. Attorney Brown: is there a second to that motion? Mr. Russell: yes, I second. I'm sorry she was just whispering to adjourn the meeting. Roll call; Ms. Hall (Clerk) Roll call: Germane Barnes: Yes Elio Guerrero: Yes Oria Rodriguez: Yes Rose Tydus: Yes Chairman Calvin Russell: Yes Ms. Hall: Meeting adjourned: 08:52 P.M OTHER BUSINESS: No other Business VI ADJOURNMENT Chairman Russell motioned that the meeting be adjourned.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Discussion of Minutes from March 3,2015 Meeting The Chairman Mr. Calvin Russell asked if a motion could be made to have the minutes approved from December 9, 2014 meeting. Board Member Elio Guerrero made a motion to approve the minutes from December 9, 2014 meeting. Board Member Oria Rodriguez asked are there two sets of meeting minutes? Mr. Gay answers what you have before you are the minutes from December 9, 2014 meeting. Within those minutes of December 9, 2014 meeting it shows where you approved the minutes from the October 28, 2014 Wage Planning Council meeting. Everything is in proper order. You always approve the minutes from the previous meeting. Mr. Gay added, you're basically approving this entire package of minutes. Mr. Gay continued, at the last meeting on December 9, 2014 the Planning Council board approved the meeting minutes from the previous October 28, 2014 meeting. Chairman Russell asked if there was an issue or a technology problem like we experienced on October 28, 2014 meeting. Chairman Russell adds, we want to have a clear understanding. Mr. Gay explained within the minutes from December 9, 2014 meeting you all discussed the October 28, 2014 meeting which was the meeting where we did not get full clarification as it relates to the full item before you. We did not get an accurate recording. We had to provide information as it was on the agenda itself On this particular agenda you're hearing an item that has been previously heard by this board. We felt it was necessary to bring this item back before you so that we could have a more accurate recording of everything that was stated in that meeting. Mr. Russell explained if we don't have a record of what was said in the meeting, I don't see how I can say"yes"to approve them. Chairman Russell added, can we approve the minutes all in one group? Attorney Alicia Lewis stated you can make a motion to do so if you choose too. Attorney Alicia Lewis also added, keep in mind if the minutes are not approved, what are you requesting from the clerk in return for something that you can approve. Board Member Elio Guerrero stated we already approved October 28, 2014 minutes. He added, now I'm confused. We're approving the fact that we approved the minutes. Board Member Elio Guerrero asked "So we're okay?" Attorney Alicia Lewis 2IPage explained, tonight if you approve these minutes, at the next meeting those minutes will be listed as being approved at tonight's meeting. Board Member Ms. Oria Rodriguez asked did the technical issue occur on December 9, 2014 meeting? Chairman Calvin Russell explained that the technical issue occurred on October 28, 2014 meeting. Attorney Alicia Lewis stated you've already approved October 28, 2014 meeting minutes with those conditions. The October 28, 2014 meeting minutes are done. Board Member Germane Barnes pointed out on the first page from the December 9, 2014 meeting minutes at the bottom of the page it reads "there was a mal-function with the tape no comments or statements are on the record". There was an additional discussion, then Board Member Elio Guerrero made a motion to approve the minutes of December 9, 2014 meeting and Board Member Oria Rodriguez second the motion but asked for additional discussion before an approval. Upon roll call, the minutes failed 2-2. Germane Barnes - No Elio Guerrero - Yes Oria Rodriguez - Yes Calvin Russell - No Afterwards, Mr. Gay explained that we will be working on this format to give you a better clarity. 311' age IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS: APPLICANT NAME: CITY OF OPA-LOCKA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REQUEST: FOR THE CITY COMMISSION TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA HUD COMMUNITY CHALLLENGE GRANT-BASED AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP, ALSO KNOWN AS THE SUSTAINABLE OPA- LOCKA 20/30 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND AUTHORIZING TRANSMITTAL TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND REVIEW AGENCIES. Mr. Gay asked the Chairman, if he could take the liberty to introduce this item, as there is only one item for this evening. Mr. Russell stated this is not what is usually done as the Attorney normally reads the items. Chairman Russell agreed to allow Mr. Gay to introduce the item, but added, "Mr. Gay there were some handouts given to our board when we came in tonight". Mr. Gay explained, I will explain that at the appropriate time. Attorney Alicia Lewis introduced the item on tonight's agenda. Mr. Gay explained that this particular item has been presented to this board once before. This is an item dealing with the Comprehensive Master Plan for the City of Opa-locka. When this item was presented to you we experienced some technical difficulties. Hopefully this meeting is being recorded so we won't run into discrepancies as we did before. This item is the proposed Comprehensive Master Plan and the amended future land use map. We are in the process of updating these documents. The city has been working on this document Wage with a great number of entities for a very long time. We've gotten the document to its final point and we've taken it to all the community meetings and now we are bringing it before you. As a part of the presentation, there have been some changes regarding the land use designations, and that's something that will be presented by our consultant Mr. Alex David who is with the Corradino Group. Mr. Gay continued, as it relates to the two hand-outs you all have received, when we initially started this process there was another consultant which was the Opa-locka Community Development Corporation and they had several sub-consultants that were working with them. About a year ago, they presented us with documents, then the city and their consultants began to review the documents. In the process there were some deficiencies revealed as it relates to the document's compliance with Florida Statue requirements. The Comprehensive Master Plan presented tonight complies with the Florida Statute requirements. The previous plan submitted by Opa-locka Community Development Corporation and consultants attempted to take an approach based on the six pillars initiated through the Florida Governor's office. Florida Statute requires that certain information be a part of the Comprehensive Master Plan in order for it to be valid. The previous document submitted by the Opa-locka Development Corporation was done in a different format not saying that their information that was incorrect. It was in the Six Pillar format which most cities have not attempted to present. The six pillars format has not been fully addressed by the Florida Legislature or required by Florida Statute. They were trying something a little more innovative and at the same time it didn't follow the statutory requirements as it relates to a Comprehensive Master Plan. 5IPage Mr. Gay then explained that the letters submitted by OLCDC explains how they feel that the documents may differ. Their document should exceed the document that is presented before you. You can read the information, if you need additional information I'm able to provide that information for you. Mr. Gay introduced the consultant Mr. Alex David,but before the consultant began his presentation Chairman Russell asked all board members do they have any questions? Chairman Russell then asked, are all of these documents final? Mr. Gay replied that they are final to the point that if any minor corrections are needed we are able to correct them before the document is forwarded to the City Commission. Mr. Alex David with the Corradino Group began his presentation. It is a major update of your existing plan. A Comprehensive Master plan is basically a blueprint of how Opa-locka will look in 15-20 years. The main goal is to meet the state requirements per the law through goals, objectives and policies. We want to provide more jobs for residents. This is a quick over view of the land use elements. The future land use map, we've updated to include the updated district that was approved by the Commission. It is an optional element by the state; we feel that it is very important to promote economic development within the city. The objective here is to provide more shopping, increase the tax base and attract new businesses. Housing is a required element, which has been replaced with an updated version. The goal also is to protect historical housing. We're currently promoting Recreation and open space in the future. Mr. Alex David proceeded with saying; items in this document comply with policy of the US Dept. of Housing & Urban Development. The next phase if recommended by the City Commission is then to transmit the plan to the State of Florida and to transmit to other agencies for their Wage comments, then back to the City Commission for the final approval. Then the Comprehensive Plan becomes your future document and guides the City. We are also doing a concept plan for the city downtown area as well and looking at the city zoning code. Mr. Alex David explained he is more than happy to answer any further questions about any of the documents. Mr. Alex stated attachments will be submitted with the Comprehensive Plan document. Mr. Russell asked aren't those documents important for our board to read? I feel that we should have all documents so we can make a good sound decision. Mr. Russell explains other documents have to be attached and we haven't had a chance to read them it's not fair to us. Mr. Gay answered the document that is before you tonight is the original document that will be submitted and they will only review the Comprehensive Plan alone. It has all the necessary information. Mr. David added, it's a working document in process. There are a couple times where you can make recommendations. Mr. Gay speaks there are opportunities to make changes and amendments. This plan is to be reviewed every seven years. It is called an evaluation and appraisal report. You want to make sure the plan is achieving the goals in terms of the city's development. The real measure of how this is achieved is the land development regulations, which is the next document you will be seeing within the next 30-45 days. This new document will be more specific and more in detail. Board Member Germane Barnes asked, will we be given the documents, will we ever get those documents or attachments? Mr. Gay replied that we will provide those documents to you. Mr. Russell asked Mr. David, Are you finished? Mr. Gay addressed the Council; we will have those attachments available for you tomorrow. Mr. Russell replied I didn't know that I had to go to the website for other attachments; we need those documents so 7IPage we can make a sound decision. Mr. Russell stated, I want to know how we are really going to make this happen, this information is so vague. I'm concerned and I'm concerned with the document that was just handed to me before the meeting. I want to make sure that we make a good, sound decision before this board. When you talk about adding information or documents I wish we could have that included in our packages. Mr. David answered, we are correcting typos and we will make correct adjustments. Mr. Russell answered; I don't know what recommendation to make if there are many unanswered questions. I don't know the intent with these documents. Mr. Gay added, a lot of suggested changes are not really valid changes and that's relating to the Comprehensive Plan that is before you right now. While the two documents work hand in hand, the Comprehensive Plan requires the most approval point throughout this process. There is some blurred information as it translates the information going back and forth. The Comprehensive Plan is the higher governing document. The Land Development Regulation is a tool to assist you to achieve those goals for the Comprehensive Plan. Board Member Elio Guerrero asked, regarding the memo that was passed out, you're saying that it does not pertain to the Comprehensive Plan or it does? Mr. Gay replied, we noticed that there was a going back and forth in language. These documents do not share the same language or what the intent is. Mr. Russell stated, I want to understand all documents better. I need information to help make a good decision to revise our great City. I would like to see more done so I will feel comfortable and this document is the best thing going forward for the Great City of Opa-locka. Board Member Germane Barnes asked will this item come before our board once again? Mr. David answered, when it goes to the state the documents will be in compliance with the 81Page state law. Mr. Gay added, as it relates to the Comprehensive Plan we will assist you in whatever means necessary. The Comprehensive Plan is a lot of information. We're trying to make this document as simple as possible. The document before you is in its final form. I would like to know from the board, if there are some areas you have some concerns about just provide that information to us. We need your board to help us make this document successful. We've invited and notified every official within the city. It's not due to lack of knowledge, it maybe that the timing is not right. We will do our best to make this Comprehensive Plan successful that you can embrace and at the same time we have to comply with the Florida Statue. This document has to go through its process prior to the land development regulation, which comes second. Chairman Russell asked if we could have more dialogue there would be more understanding of what we're doing. Mr. Gay offered a suggestion, at the board pleasure we can have workshop sessions. We can set it up where any questions you want to ask. We can spend an hour or two where we can go over each element. Mr. Gay offered another suggestion, if you prefer one on one session that would be fine as well. Mr. Lee added, why we don't have a special meeting before the end of this month. As a quasar board you still have to notice it? We just want to be sure everyone can be there. Board Member Oria Rodriguez speaks we need to have more than one workshop meeting to cover all of this information. Chairman Russell stated dialogue makes a lot of difference. Board Member Elio Guerrero speaks we still have a memo with pending changes that we're suppose to move on. Attorney Alicia Lewis tells Chairman Calvin Russell that if you do decide to table this item, make a motion to table with conditions of what needs to happen in between 9IPage those time frame so if you want to have workshops, certain meetings or data. When it comes back, you will have a checklist of what you've requested so that we don't have to continue tabling this matter. Chairman Russell asks Mr. Gay when will be a good date to set up for the workshop. Mr. Gay replied we have to meet advertisements guideline before we set a date. We need clarification to see if we need to advertise due to your position and this board being a quasar judicial board, pretty much, everything has to be advertised. Board Member Elio Guerrero added that the day time works for me. Mr. Lee speaks, if we are in an open meeting if they move this meeting to a date certain, can they do that without any notice going out? Attorney Alicia Lewis replies, you will be able to continue this meeting, but no decision making can happen for tonight's meeting. Attorney Alicia Lewis added, first you will table the decision on this item to another meeting date but the continuation of this meeting will include workshops that we are talking about now. The only notice that needs to be advertised for is the date we are tabling this meeting and the decision-making part. Mr. Lee suggested what if we have two workshops, one on March 10th and the other on March 24th? These are two workshops and there is space in between. The Board Members all prefer the dates and the time is set for daytime for both dates. Board Member Elio Guerrero motion to table item one to April 7, 2015 Planning Council Meeting contingent to two workshops being held and all items that may or may not be included in this memo as well will be addressed. Board Member Oria Rodriguez seconded the motion. Chairman Russell asked for roll call 10IPage Upon roll call the motion passed 4-0 Germane Barnes - Yes Elio Guerrero - Yes Oria Rodriguez - Yes Calvin Russell - Yes V.

The substance and findings of the work are dedicated to the public. The author and publisher are solely responsible for the accuracy of the statements and interpretations contained in this publication. Such interpretations do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Government. DRAFT Sustainable Opa-Lacka 20/30 Comprehensive Plan INTRODUCTION The City of Opa-locka's 2015 HUD Community Challenge Grant Related Amendments to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (which will be renamed the Sustainable Opa-Locka 20/30 Comprehensive Plan) are based on the data and analysis and background reports contained in Appendix A. (Background Documents), Appendix B. (Related Studies), and intensive community outreach efforts. These amendments are a major overhaul and update of the City's current adopted Comprehensive Development Master Plan,which had its last substantive update with the adoption of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report-based amendments in 2011. The proposed amendments, after adoption, will result in: • A new Future Land Use Element(replacing the current version)that presents unique land use strategies for specific neighborhoods and land use districts, while addressing all statutory requirements and the City's vision; • A revised Future Land Use Map that includes a new Downtown Mixed Use District, Magnolia North Mixed Use District, and Corridor Mixed Use Overlay District; • A new Redevelopment and Economic Development Element that outlines specific steps that the City and its partners will take to achieve redevelopment and economic development goals; • A new Transportation Element (replacing the current version) that outlines new multi- modal transportation strategies to support the City's vision and development, redevelopment and economic development goals; • A new Housing Element (replacing the current version) that establishes specific housing and redevelopment strategies based on updated information about housing and economic development needs, and the projected demand for new or renovated units; • A substantially amended Recreation and Open Space Element that expands the Level of Service Standard to call for at least one acre of recreation and open space with % mile of all residential areas. This standard will be achieved by requiring the dedication land or fees-in-lieu as a condition for major development or redevelopment approvals; • A substantially amended Public Schools and Education Element that expands the scope to include adult education and training strategies to support economic development initiatives and goals; • Updated Infrastructure and Aquifer Recharge, Conservation, Intergovernmental Coordination and Capital Improvement elements that address and align with current statutory requirements and planning horizons; • New monitoring measures for each Objective, and; • An updated Map Series (in GIS). The Sustainable Opa-Locka 20/30 Comprehensive Plan will provide the blueprint and foundation for the City's land development regulations, capital improvements program, and planning, development and redevelopment activities and programs through the year 2030. Any other City plan, program or regulation adopted or implemented during the planning period must 1 DRAFT Sustainable Opa-Locka 20/30 Comprehensive Plan be consistent with this adopted Plan, as it may be amended from time to time. Additions to the adopted Comprehensive Development Master Plan are denoted by underline; deletions by strikethrough.
