MINUTES
PLANNING COUNCIL MEETING
TUESDAY, July 1, 2014
I ROLL CALL:
Planning Council meeting officially convened at 7:15 PM. Board Members in attendance:
Elio Guerrero, Leslie Dennis, Calvin Russell, Chairman
Also in attendance were Gregory Gay, Dir., Planning and Community Development,
Gerald Lee, Zoning Official, Attorney Steven Geller, Inez P. Robinson, Community
Development Clerk and Jerry Bell, City of Opa -locka Planning Consultant
II INVOCATION AND PLEDGE:
Chairman, Russell led the prayer and Pledge of Allegiance
III APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Meeting Minutes approval was bypassed because they were still being processed. Mr. Lee
explained that there was a problem recording that meeting and additionally time is necessary to
prepare those minutes. However, they should be ready by the next regular Planning Council
meeting.
IV PUBLIC HEARING:
Ms. Inez Robinson swore in everyone, in case they wanted to testify or talk about the matters on
the agenda. Attorney Geller let everyone know that for public hearings and/or quasi-judicial
hearings anyone who wishes to testify must be sworn in.
Mr. Gregory Gay, introduced himself, as the new Director of Planning and Community
Development, to everyone present and stated that there is a lot on the agenda and he, on behalf
of the Administration, would like to suggest -- pertaining to the agenda - -that the first two items
on the agenda and item #6 may be heard at this meeting, and in light of the board members not
receiving their PC packages early enough for them to have time to read them and due to the
lateness of time, he asked that the balance of the agenda be heard the following Tuesday,
thereby, giving the board members adequate time to overview each item on the agenda. The
three he suggested for discussion on this night was because the board members received the
information on them approximately a month ago, but due to a lack of a quorum for the
previously schedule PC meeting, they did not convene.
Item #6, Mixed Use Ordinance, so that certain issues related to this item could move forward
and go before the City Commission.
Attorney Geller: Speaking to the Chairperson, Mr. Russell, stated that if a PC meeting has been
properly notified and if every item on the agenda does not get heard, you can announce at a
properly notified meeting that meeting will be continued to a future date. He let everyone know
that legally and technically, the board can decide to continue all of some of the items on today's
agenda at a future date.
Chairman Russell: Referring to Mr. Gay, stated that the board would like to receive the PC
Agenda a week in advance, but feels like the board could probably get to item #6 —Mixed Use
Ordinance, but due to there only being three board members, he feels like the City should hold
off on this item also. He feels like the City would have a better chance of a favorable outcome
if it waits until more board members are in attendance.
Additionally, Chairman Russell asked others in the audience if they want to wait until the next
Tuesday's meeting, with hopes of a better outcome.
Mark G, representing Trademark Metals Recycling, was in agreement with everything the
chairperson said, concerning tabling the items on the agenda to next Tuesday meeting, if doing
so would allow enough time for TMR to be on the July Commission Meeting Agenda.
A discussion continued about no new advertising is necessary for items to be included in the
Commission Meeting, since this PC meeting was properly convened. The City Attorney stated
that he did not have the slightest idea and the reason is that it is technically up to the City's
staff, and there's no problem with the advertising because it is already done. Attorney Geller
further stated that if TMR will be on the last Commission meeting agenda, before they break for
the summer, is an internal process, depending on how long it takes for the City to process things
and get it to the Commission. He deferred the question to Mr. Lee to see if he knew the answer.
Mr. Lee stated that since this is not a zoning issue, it does not require a 14 day notice. It's a site
plan to build a building. Based on this information, Mark G stated that he was fine with waiting
until next Tuesday for his item to be presented to the PC board.
Attorney Geller told Chairman Russell that he needed a motion to take a vote on postponing
some of the agenda items until next Tuesday's PC meeting. Chairman Russell asked those
representing other agenda items, if they were in agreement for postponing their item until next
Tuesday. All representatives besides those representing agenda items #1, 2, and 6 agreed to
wait until next Tuesday for their matters to be presented to the PC board members.
Chairman Russell asked for a motion to get the whole package (Agenda Items) postponed until
next Tuesday. He stated that he believes they can discuss the Mixed Used item because this
would be their third time discussing it. The representatives for Agenda Items # 1 and #2
decided to postpone until next Tuesday's meeting, in spite of Mr. Gay's suggestion that their
items be presented on this evening, thus, leaving only Item #6 to be discussed tonight.
Therefore, Chairman Russell asked for a motion to hear Agenda Items #1 -5 on next Tuesday.
Councilman Elio Guerrero made the motion as asked by Chairman Russell and Attorney Geller
emphasized that for the record, this was a properly advertised meeting and deferring several
Agenda Items to next Tuesday, means no re- advertising is necessary. Councilwoman Leslie
Dennis seconded the motion.
The motion was unanimously passed 3 -0
Elio Guerrero - Yes
Leslie Dennis - Yes
Calvin Russell - Yes
Attorney Geller called for Agenda Item #6 to be presented to the board. Jerry Bell, consultant
for the City of Opa- locka, Community Development Department, which is the applicant,
presented the item to the board. The issue was to amend City Ordinance 86 -8, which is the
Land Development Code. There were two separate ordinances. The first one was for creating
the Mixed Use Overlay District, providing for incorporation of recitals, providing for conflict
and repealer, providing for severability, for effective date.
Mr. Lee presented Jerry Bell of the Corradino Consultant Firm, to the PC board as the City of
Opa -locka Community Development Department representative. Mr. Bell stated that the
purpose was to assist the City in its on -going redevelopment efforts by allowing for high quality
mixed use development in appropriate locations. He stated that we want to target areas that are
very close to transit, so we're following major corridors. He stated that the board members had
a map in their package showing the area in question. There are two kinds of mixed -use
development that will occur in the proposed area. These two types will depend on the
underlining zoning. There are going to be areas that are residential /commercial mixed use,
allowing for the development of various compatible residential offices and retail uses in a
compact area. This will allow people a better opportunity to walk to these locations as opposed
to having to use their automobile. This is for better design and would really support our
redevelopment efforts. There are also areas that are industrial /commercial, allowing for existing
industrial use, and where it's appropriate, to have a retail component, where you can actually
sell the products that are being produced on site. The first one (residential /commercial use) will
be allowed on properties that are zoned R -1, R -2, R -3, R -4, B -1, B -2, B -O and P, which allows
for, on the first floor, retail uses, as well as, multi - family residential and office uses, and civic
uses on the first floor. On the upper floors, it would allow for offices and residential uses. For
the retail uses —a minimum of 10% of the uses should be used for neighborhood retail and by
that he means retail that's really targeted at serving the surrounding neighborhood. For the
commercial /industrial mixed use, that's allowed for properties that are labeled as Zone B -3, I -1,
I -2 or I -3. In these areas, you can do retail uses that are very specific to selling the products that
are produced on the site, which can be located on the ground floor, and then on the upper floors,
there can be industrial uses and a parking garage. This allows for up to 20% of the building's
square footage to be used for retail uses, which can be able to be increased to up to 35% if the
building is providing for open space and if the building is contributing to the City's Moorish
Architectural goals. Within the commercial /residential mixed use, there can be a maximum
height of six stories for a mixed use building or up to four stories, if it's a single use building. It
will allow up to eight stories in a density up to 150 units /acre, if it's providing for affordable
housing or public open space. Also with in the commercial /industrial use there is an allowance
for travel facilities for trucks. That's a conditional use in this area, and they have to be at least
500 feet away from an R -1, R -2, R -3, B -1 or B -2 district. You would be able to waive that if
you provide some mitigation. Additionally, within the commercial /industrial area there is some
provision that will allow for horizontal mixed use development and that is basically, not above,
but adjacent to it, but that will be only when the hazardous nature of the materials that are
produced on the site would require some separation from the retail uses.
Mr. Bell stated that within the residential /commercial areas, the residential density is a 110
units /acre, and the maximum for a ratio of 3, but you will be able to go up to 150 units /acre, if
you provide for affordable housing and compatible architecture. He pointed out that this
information was some a summary of some of the major points of the ordinance. He welcomed
questions from those on the board and in attendance of the meeting.
A discussion followed about the specifics of the height and designs of the proposed buildings
and apartments. Attorney Geller wanted to know if there is a minimum size for the units? Mr.
Bell said there is and gave the specific sizes for various types of units. Mr. Gay explained to the
board that they, too, have a say in how the industrial buildings and residential buildings are
designed. The consultant, on behalf of the City, creates a draft and presents it to the board for
their approval. If they disapprove and want changes made to the design, they have the power to
authorize their decision. Chairman Russell expressed his desire for a great plan to make this
Mixed Use plan work for the city and its citizens.
Chairman Russell called for someone to make a motion to approve Ordinance 6A. Councilman
Guerrero made the motion and Councilwoman Dennis seconded it.
Ordinance 6A was passed unanimously by a 3 -0 vote
Elio Guerrero - Yes
Leslie Dennis - Yes
Calvin Russell - Yes
Attorney Geller read the second ordinance, Ordinance 6B, applicant is City of Opa-
locka/Community Development Dept. It is an amendment to City Ordinance 86 -8, the Land
Development Code, an ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Opa- locka, Florida to
create article 8, Street and Mobile Vendor Ordinance.
Chairman Russell asked Mr. Lee to explain it more to him. Mr. Lee stated that the City does
offer a Peddler's License currently, and it occurred to the City that a license may need to be
offered for other street vendors and for other kinds of activities of that sort in order that those
selling could be licensed and regulated. This is the first step in giving them a variety of
opportunities for peddlers, street vendors and other higher authority kind of uses where people
serve food. What our ordinance has is for the opportunity for people to present items that are
already processed but it doesn't give them opportunity to cook, process, or make things from
scratch. This gives those opportunities and provides us guidance and regulations to deal with all
three types.
Mr. Bell further presented Ordinance 6B to the board. He delineated the safety precautions of
the City's concerns. It allows for moveable vendor, special event - -food trucks rodeos, the City
will be able to regulate mover vendor stalls on publicly owned lots. People who apply for these
permits will have to provide the City with specific information, e.g. photos of equipment that is
to be used, vehicle, owner and of everyone working on the truck and their names, a description
of items sold, a notarized statement from the owner of the truck their health license and proof of
insurance. The City police will do a background check for the public safety. There is also a
series of prohibitions in this ordinance. It's going to prohibit vending in the right of way, the
center medians, and the ends of the roads, these within 500' of a school, limit sells from within
300' of businesses selling the same product, sells in residential areas, loud noises and speaking
devices. Another of the important provisions of the ordinance is that it does provide and allow
for mobile vendors in specific locations for special events, the City will be allowed to designate
moving vendors stalls on publically owned lots, and any money that is derived from that
program will be earmarked for maintaining the common area and improving the area around it,
so it's a way to kind of take advantage and perhaps if you have an area or vacant lot that's an
eye soar this kind of use happening there. Mr. Bell welcomed questions after he presented the
major points of the ordinance.
Chairman Russell pointed out that Opa -locka is a small community of only about a four and a
half miles radius, with about 2 '/z miles of junkyards, recycling, all types of auto remodeling and
fix up businesses. He believes it's not a good idea because outsiders will benefit more than
residents. He suggested the City revisit and re -do this idea. He wants Opa -locka entrepreneurs,
who are residents, to have special preference in obtaining license for mobile vending and food
selling, or to have a set limit on the number of licenses permitted. Leslie Dennis stated that she
thinks the vending/food truck business is a good idea, and Elio Guerrero stated that he agreed
with Leslie Dennis. More discussion ensued with pros and cons for this kind of business.
Gerald Lee stated that the City is going to take into consideration Chairman Russell's concerns
and perhaps other amendments may need to be created to ensure the safety, concerns, and
comfort of this city's residents.

Mr. Lee stated that that concluded the City's agenda; however, the last item talked about having
an update. In the discussions that we've had, we've talked about making changes and improving
the city and accommodating the residents, and he said he thinks the biggest things that are
happening in his department, concerning those matters, are the Comp Plan and the Land
Development Code updates that are pending. He also stated that as we go forward, during this
month, we would like to have audience with the entire Planning Council one -on -one about the
issues that are coming and to try to focus you on what things are coming so that you can give us
input before we start doing the public meetings so we can have your input, as we go forward, as
members of our Planning Council.
Mr. Gay stated that when he came on board, about four months ago, he discovered that our
Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code needed to be updated. Looking more
specific at the latter, he noticed that it was basically created in 1996 and based on that date
alone, he saw that it did not keep up with today's standards, as it relates to development within a
municipality. The biggest challenge that he pick up on is that there are a lot of small items that
have to go through several community review boards, the City Commission. In other
municipalities, these particular types of activities or developments may not be reviewed as
stringent as they are in Opa- locka. He stated that he understands that this city is a very caring
and concerned community and very vocal, as it relates to what types of projects and programs
being presented to the community, as a whole. Therefore, his department desires to meet with
the board to present and discuss the Comprehensive Development Plan with them during this
month, July. He would like to present the Comp Plan in a public forum in the form of a
workshop in August or September. However, prior to that happening, he wants to have a
meeting of the minds, brainstorming meeting with the principal stakeholders and Council
members, including them, the PC board.
Attorney Geller reiterated that the PC meeting would meet next Tuesday, July 8th, as a
continuation of this meeting.
Chairman Russell asked for a motion to adjourn the PC meeting. Councilman Guerrero made
the motion to adjourn the meeting and Councilwoman Dennis seconded it. Chairman Russell
stated the meeting was adjourned at 8:24 PM.

Resource Recovery and Management Facility (RRMF)
Dear Ms. Pandya:
Great Waste and Recycling Services LLC (Great Waste) operates a business -located at 3051
NW 129th Street, in Opa- Locka, Florida. Carlo Piccinonna is the General Manager for Great
Waste. Their business is collecting and disposing of Construction & Demolition Debris
(C &D) from their commercial roll -off container business. The purpose of this Planning
Council Application is to apply for Zoning Code Text Amendment and Site Plan Approval for
Great Waste and Recycling Services LLC. to operate a Resource Recovery and Management
Facility (RRMF) at their existing location in the City of Opa- Locka.
Background Information
In November of 2012,. Great Waste retained Westhorp & Associates, Inc. (WA) to prepare a
license application for a Container -to- Container Waste Transfer Application for their
business. The purpose of this application is to comply with the requirements of the Miami -
Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources for a Resource Recovery

Proposed Additional Use
No physical changes will be made to the property. The only change is that the incoming
waste will be transferred from smaller roll -off containers to a 40 cubic yard (CY) container
located on the back of a grapple truck. No actual processing of waste will take place at this
facility. There is a front end loader located on site in case material falls during the transfer
operations. Any waste that falls onto the ground will be picked up immediately and
deposited in the appropriate container for off -site disposal.
C &D waste will be stored in the 40 CY containers and may be stored overnight from time to
time. Up to 300 CY of material may be received on any given day; however, no more than
200 CY of C &D waste will be stored on -site in containers for up to 48 hours. Therefore, no
more than five 40 CY mobile containers or vehicles containing waste or recovered
materials will be stored on -site at any given time.
Please contact me at (305) 759 -4757 if you have any questions or need- further
information.
