Short Title:
A resolution of the City Commission to grant a conditional use for aluminum smelting or refining of
metals use by the property owner, All Japanese Engines.
Staff Summary:
On May 11, 2011, the Mayor and City Commission amended City Ordinance No. 86 -8, which provided
for aluminum smelting and refining of metals use in the 1 -2 zoning district as a conditional use.
Ordinance 11 -06 authorizes the operation of an aluminum smelting or refining of metals use in 1 -2; 1 -2A;
and 1 -3 zoning districts subject to the following conditions:
1. The use of the aluminum - smelting furnace must meet the requirements of Florida Law
concerning air emissions sources and the EPA Secondary Aluminum Production MACT
Standards (Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards).
2. The operation of the aluminum smelting furnace must meet all applicable standards of the Clean
Air Act and the Florida Air Pollution Control laws and all applicable Federal laws.
3. The aluminum - smelting furnace must be located in a wholly enclosed building, not in a vacant or
open area.
4. This conditional use must be reviewed every two (2) years from the Mayor and City Commission's
date of approval.
• The Planning Council met on June 28, 2011 after receiving an application by All Japanese
Engines to operate an aluminum - smelting oven. During that meeting, the Planning Council heard
from staff as well as the public and recommended that the aluminum smelting and refining use be
approved as a conditional use.
The Planning Council had not received any business license information. In November 2011,
City staff started a comprehensive review of business license history information to determine if
All Japanese Engines, in fact, had a legal non - conforming use established on the subject property
at 2300 NW 150th Street, Opa- locka, FL 33054. Research revealed that the applicant does not
have a grandfathered use for either junkyard or for scrap metal facility usage. All Japanese
Engines request was returned to the Planning Council to obtain their recommendation in light of
the erroneous information they previously received; that their operation was a legally non
conforming.
On February 7, 2012, the license history information was presented to the Planning Council to
discuss scheduling a formal review of the applicant's request with the knowledge of this
information. This request was formally reviewed on March 6, 2012. Mr. Brown stated that staff
recommended approval of the request in accordance with Ordinance 11 -06, provided that the
applicant no longer operate a junkyard or scrap metal facility. The Planning Council was
concerned about the recommended approval of the applicant's request and asked for the
Assistant City Attorney's legal advice.
Attorney Rodriguez declared that the matter deliberated should only be the application for a
conditional use permit to use an aluminum smelting furnace. According to Rodriguez, an
aluminum smelting furnace is permitted as a conditional use on the said property. The problem is
that current use of the property (salvage and junkyard) is inconsistent with the underlying zoning
code. Tying one approved use to another goes beyond the scope of the application. If the
applicant met the criteria under the code, then that will be the information to decide upon. If the
activities on the site are inconsistent with the current underlying zoning of the property, the
applicant will proceed at his own risk for potential enforcement action on the part of the City for
operating on a site that is inconsistent with the zoning code. The granting of occupational
licenses is not a guarantee of zoning approval. Occupational licenses are taxes paid to the city.
The receipt of an occupational license does not imply automatic zoning approval for the use on
the property.
• The Planning Council recommended approval of the applicant's request to operate a smelting or
refining operation as a conditional use subject to the conditions of Ordinance 11 -06.
When the request to operate this oven was presented to the City Commission on June 13, 2012
the motion failed. The applicant said he was not informed of the hearing and did not have an
opportunity to address any questions the City Commission may have had.
Proposed Action:
Staff Recommends Approval of this request subject to the conditions of Ordinance 11 -6, provided that
the applicant no longer operates a junkyard or scrap metal facility.
