LA NJ Q USE "RI E IIR DNMENTAL LAW Direct(305)377-6229 gpenn @BRZoninglaw.com VIA HAND DELIVERY March 27, 2015 Gregory Gay Director Planning &Community Development Department 3400 NW 135 Street Opa-locka, FL 33054 Re: Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Site Plan Approval, Development Agreement, and Variance Aproval for Academy Bus Development - NW 123 Street(Folios 08-2129-0180-0010 and 30-2129-0180-0010) Dear Mr. Gay: We represent Franmar Properties of South Florida, LLC, (the "Applicant") the owner of the two above-referenced parcels located at approximately NW 123 Street in Miami-Dade County (collectively the "Property"). Please consider this letter the Applicants letter of intent supporting applications seeking an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan, site plan approval, the acceptance of a development agreement, and a minor variance approval. The Property. The Property is approximately 8.40 net acres in size and has been assigned tax folio numbers 08-2129-0180-0010 and 30-2129-0180-0010 by the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser. The vast majority of the Property is located in the City, with a small sliver of the Property remaining in unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The Property consists of Tract A of the Tenth Addition to Seaboard Industrial Park," recorded at Plat Book 158, Page 44 of the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The property is unique in the City in that it is surrounded on three sides by railway lines and spurs. To the south of the Property is additional industrial land. The Property is located in an area of the City (and adjacent Miami-Dade County) that is exclusively industrial in character. Gregory Gay Director Planning & Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 2 of 12 City Zoning. The Opa-locka portion of the Property is zoned I-2 or "Liberal Industrial" under the terms of the City Code. As its name implies, the Liberal Industrial zoning designation permits a wide range of the more intense industrial uses, including multiple "open lot" uses, such as rock pits and cement manufacturing uses. The I-2 zone also permits all of the uses allowed in the City's I-1 zoning district, which permits motor garages and transportation terminals. The Property is designated for "Utility" use under the terms of the City's Comprehensive Plan, which is generally applied to land owned by railroads, public utilities, and other similar uses. The Property was formally owned by a railroad company, which is likely the reason that it was assigned a Utility designation. As noted on the recorded plat for the Property, the southern seventy (70) feet of the Property is encumbered by an access easement that ensures continued access to the public roads for both the Property and the adjacent land to the south, which is under separate ownership. Proposed Development. As you may know, Academy Bus is the largest privately owned and operated transportation company in the country, providing charter bus services all over the east coast. With approximately 650 buses in its fleet, the Applicant provides a wide range of private transportation services. The Applicant prides itself on a level of service and on its well-maintained, modern equipment. The Applicant proposes to utilize the Property as its central base of operations for South Florida. The proposed use will include a 6,000 square foot office building, employee parking, a 12,400 square foot bus garage, and 150 open bus parking spaces. The bus parking and garage portions of the development will be located along the north, surrounded by railroad right of way. The bus parking and garage areas are proposed to be enclosed by a chainlink fence and gate. That fence will be supplemented with a continuous hedge composed of small leaf clusia, a Florida native species. The use of a native plant for the hedging will help ensure that the hedge remains healthy for decades to come. Overall, the landscape plan includes more native species that • Gregory Gay Director Planning & Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 3 of 12 the code requires, with over eighty (80) percent of the proposed shrubs being native. The office use will be located on the southern portion of the Property. The bus storage and office uses are proposed to have separate entrances. That will limit any potential for negative interactions between passenger vehicles and buses. Application Requests. In order to realize the proposed development plan, the Applicant has filed four separate applications, requesting the following: 1. An amendment to the City's Future Land Use Map to redesignate the Property from"Utility" to "Industrial." 2. An ordinance amendment pursuant to Section 4.10 in order to allow for gasoline pumps to service vehicles used in connection with the business located on an individual lot. 3. Final site plan approval for the proposed development. 4. The acceptance of a development agreement. 5. A variance to waive the requirement to surround the bus storage area with a wall in order to utilize a fence and hedge instead. The following narrative will explain each request in additional detail and address the relevant code standards. Future Land Use Map Amendment. As explained above, the Property is designated for "Utility" use under the City's comprehensive plan. The Utility designation is set aside for land owned by public and private utilities, such as power companies, railroads, etc. While Academy does serve the transportation needs of thousands of South Florida residents, it is not a utility. It is therefore appropriate for the Property to be designated for industrial use, the same designation that exists to both the north and east. As you know, a major Goal of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to maximize the potential for economic development within the City. Retaining the Gregory Gay Director Planning &Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 4 of 12 existing "Utility" designation on the Property, when the parcel is no longer needed for utility use or under the ownership of a utility, will only retard the future economic development of this portion of the City. The proposed development, in contrast, will help encourage the expansion and improvement of new industrial and commercial uses. Ordinance Amendment. The Property is located in the I-2 zone, which is the City's most intense non-automotive related industrial district. Among the uses permitted in the I-2 zone are concrete and cement manufacturing, petroleum and liquified petroleum gas storage, saw mills, and steel manufacturing. As a transportation operation, the proposed use of the Property will require the fueling of coaches on a daily basis. We understand that the City's pending Code rewrite intends to include fueling stations serving the main use of a site as an accessory use in the I-2 zone. Because the rewrite is still several months away from moving forward, the Applicant is hereby seeking a ordinance amendment to section 6.11(B) to provide as follows: B. Permitted Uses. 11. Accessory gasoline pumps to service vehicles used in connection with the business located on an individual lot. The pumps shall not serve the general public. Allowing intense industrial operations to fuel their vehicles on site will reduce the impact of such uses on the surrounding area. In the case of the Applicant, it will be able to fuel its coaches before they exit the Property, limiting the need for extra vehicle trips to off site locations. In sum, the requested amendment will create a clear public benefit in reducing the number of trips needed for large commercial vehicles on the streets of the City. Site Plan Approval. As explained above, the Applicant proposes to develop the Property with a use that incorporates office space as well as bus repair and storage. The submitted plans meet, or exceed, all of the relevant code requirements and will far exceed the quality of similar developments in this area of the City. The following will include a discussion of the relevant site plan review standards and the compliance of the proposed development with each criterion. Gregory Gay Director Planning&Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 5 of 12 1. Natural Environment All proposed development shall be designed in such a manner as to preserve, perpetuate and improve the existing natural character of the site. Existing trees and other landscape features shall, to the maximum extent possible, be preserved in their natural state and additional landscape features shall be provided to enhance architectural features, to relate structural design to the site, and to conceal unattractive uses. As explained above, the proposed plan includes a first rate landscape plan that meets and exceeds the code requirements. The vast majority of the trees and shurbs now on the Property are Australian Pines and Brazilian Pepper, both noxious invasive species. While the proposed design does propose the removal of two sabal palmettos, the plan proposes the planting ninety-three (93) new trees, eighty (80) percent of which will be native species. The plan also proposes the installation of more than 3,000 shrubs and ground cover plants. 2. Open Space Adequate landscaped open space shall be provided which meets the particular needs and demands of the proposed development, the comprehensive plan and specific zoning district requirements. Legal methods assuring the continued preservation and maintenance of required open space shall be submitted to and approved by the city. The type and distribution of all open space shall be determined by the character, intensity, and anticipated residential or user composition of the proposed development. a. Passive open spaces (those areas not planned for intensive activity) shall be arranged as to enhance internal spatial relationships between proposed structures, to provide buffers between the project and adjacent less intensive uses, to facilitate pedestrian movements within the development, and to improve the overall visual quality of the site. The proposed development plan focuses its landscape design on buffering adjacent land from the impact of the project. The entire perimeter of the storage area will be beuffering by a sodded stormater retention area, fence and continuous native hedge. Gregory Gay Director Planning & Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 6 of 12 3. Circulation and Parking All circulation systems and parking facilities related to a proposed development shall be designed and located in such a manner as to comply with the following: a. A clearly defined vehicular circulation system shall be provided which allows free movement within the proposed development while discouraging excessive speeds. Said system shall be separated insofar as practical from pedestrian circulation systems. Pavement widths and access points to peripheral streets shall be provided which adequately serve the proposed development and which are compatible and function with circulation systems outside the development. The circulation system within the proposed development has been designed to limit negative interactions between buses and passenger vehcicles and to limit pedestrian/vehicular interactions. The plan has been engineered to meet all required standards, which is demonstrated on the submitted Vehicular Circulation Plan. b. A traffic impact statement shall be provided which states current average daily and peak hour traffic volume counts, a description of existing traffic conditions, programmed and planned roadway improvements, and future traffic conditions within and without the project. Prepared roadway improvements and the associated costs shall be provided. The Applicant has provided the required traffic impact statement, showing that the proposed development is consistent with the City's standards. No roadway improvements will be required. c. Whenever possible in proposed residential developments, living units should be located on residential streets or courts which are designed to discourage non-local through traffic. This standard is not applicable to the proposed development. Gregory Gay Director Planning&Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 7 of 12 d. Off-street parking areas shall be provided which adequately accommodate maximum vehicle storage demands for the proposed project and be located and designed in such a manner so as to not create any incompatible visual relationship. As noted above, the proposed development includes a dedicated parking area to serve the uses within the Property. The lot includes 154 parking spaces, where the City Code requires just twenty-seven (27). This zvill allow the Applicant to serve its operational needs. e. Safe and efficient access to all areas of the proposed development shall be provided for emergency and service vehicles. As shown on the Vehicular Circulation Plan, access is provided for the largest expected vehicles, which will likely exceed the size of any emergency or service vehcicles. f. Sidewalks shall be provided as required by the city's codes and ordinances. Modifications and/or exceptions to sidewalk requirements may be granted by the appropriate board when efficient pedestrian circulation throughout the proposed development is provided by means of adequately lighted and designed pedestrian paths and is open to the general public for use. There are no portions of the Property that immediately abut a public road, so no sidewalks are required along the front of the site. 4. Community Services and Utilities All proposed developments shall be designed and located in such a manner as to insure the adequate provision, use and compatibility of necessary community services and utilities. a. An adequate sanitary sewer collection system, including all necessary extensions and connections, shall be provided in accordance with city standards for location and design. Sanitary sewage treatment and disposal systems must be provided in accordance with city, county and state standards and regulations. Gregory Gay Director Planning &Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 8 of 12 The proposed plan is consistent with all of the relevant sanitary sewer requirements. b. An efficient solid waste collection system including the provisions of an adequate number of local receptacles in locations which afford maximum use and collection convenience, shall be provided in accordance with all applicable standards. The office building and bus garage both feature independent trash dumpsters that are readily serviceable and located away from the public. c. A well designed internal system for fire protection, including the provision of an adequate number of properly located fire hydrants and an efficient access arrangement for emergency fire vehicles, shall be provided to insure the safety of all persons within the project. The project has been designated to provide adequate capacity for fire protection. 5. Building and Other Structures All buildings and structures proposed to be located within a development shall be oriented and designed in such a manner as to enhance, rather than detract, from the overall quality of the environment. The following guidelines shall be followed in the review and evaluations of all buildings and structures: a. Proposed buildings and structures shall be related harmoniously to the terrain, other buildings, and the surrounding neighborhood in height, size, scale, style, color or texture, and shall be compatible with physical or visual relationships. The proposed buildings, with clean, simple architectural design will be a welcome addition to this area. The maximum height will be three stories, which is completely consistent with similar development in the area. b. Maximum privacy shall be incorporated into the design of individual residential units and related outdoor patio and living areas. Gregory Gay Director Planning& Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 9 of 12 This requirement is inapplicable to this application. c. All permanent outdoor identification features which are intended to call attention to proposed projects and/or structures shall be designed and located in such a manner as to be an integral part of the total project and/or structural design, and shall not exceed a size and scale necessary for the recognition from vehicles moving along adjacent streets at prescribed legal speeds. There are no significant outdoor identification features, such as entrance features, proposed for the development. All signage will be of a type and design that is consistent with the City's standards. Development Agreement. As required by Section 4.16 of the City Code, the Applicant has agreed to the following statement at the time of filing: An acceptable Developer Agreement pursuant to Florida Statute 163.3220 shall be signed by the Applicant and adopted by the City Commission prior to receiving a building permit. The agreement shall include provisions in addition to the requirements of Florida Statutes to guarantee, but not be limited to the following items (as applicable and agreed by the Applicant and City): 1. All impacted public facilities shall be adequate to serve the Property at an acceptable level of service (L.O.S.) prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. 2. All public improvements required by a government agency or voluntarily proposed by the Applicant to be installed by the applicant; i.e. water and sewer, sidewalks, roads, turn lanes, etc. shall either be constructed in accordance with applicable governmental regulations prior to a Certificate of Occupancy or the City shall receive an acceptable guarantee such as a cash bond or letter of credit. 3. The applicant agrees to abide by and not deviate from the terms of its graphic and verbal presentation submitted to the City Commission in order to receive a Development Order. Such items include, but are not specifically limited to; Gregory Gay Director Planning &Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 10 of 12 A) Design of all physical structures, water bodies, private and public improvements. B) The color and dimensional characteristics of all building materials. 4. The applicant guarantees to preserve and maintain all buildings and structures consistent with the original development order for the entire period in which the applicant owns the land or controls 51% ownership of the property. 5. The applicant shall submit annual reports and additional documentation as required by the City Commission in its development order to verify "on-going" compliance with its development order. 6. Subsequent to receiving a development order the design of all structures, materials and colors included in the applicant's documentation shall not be physically altered or substituted. The burden shall be on the applicant to prove that the material or color is no longer available. 7. A schedule of construction phasing, if applicable. 8. Any service impact mitigation measures to which the applicant has committed. 9. ❑A requirement that the applicant, his successors or assigns, shall comply with the requirements of the final development order. 10. An agreement to provide necessary public improvement bonds, legal agreements, etc. 11. An agreement to allow the City to enter the property and inspect said property for compliance with the other pertinent provisions of the Developer Agreement. 12. Compliance with Resolution No. 5058, the Fair Share Agreement Resolution. Gregory Gay Director Planning& Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 11 of 12 Wall Variance. The City Code requires that all storage yards for"materials or company vehicles" be surrounded by a masonry wall of at least six (6) feet in height. The Applicant proposes to replace the wall with a combination of fence, hedges, and retaining wall. We think that this alternative provides several benefits over a wall. First, it provides an opportunity for greater buffering of the proposed use when the proposed hedges grow above the fence. Second, replacing a wall with a fence and hedge will markedly reduce the possibility of graffiti. The Property is surrounded on three sides by railroad tracks and spurs, which are essentially open to the public. Locating a wall along these tracks will only invite vandalism on the railroad side. Even with the utmost diligence on the part of the Applicant, it is all but certain that a wall would become a graffiti target. The fence and hedge will provide the City with the buffering that the Code requires without the negative implications inherent in a wall located along a railroad line. We therefore believe that public policy supports the grant of a variance here. You will also note that the Property is surrounded exclusively by similar industrial and utility uses. There is essentially no chance, therefore, that the use of a fence and hedge instead of a wall would create issues for adjacent parcels. Conclusion. We look forward to your review and recommendation on our applications.

We have filed applications with the City of Opa-locka seeking the approval of a new development for the Academy Bus company. As you may know, Academy Bus is the largest privately owned and operated transportation company in the country, providing charter bus services all over the east coast. With approximately 650 buses in its fleet, the Applicant provides a wide range of private transportation services. The Applicant prides itself on a level of service and on its well-maintained, modern equipment. The Applicant proposes to utilize the Property as its central base of operations for South Florida.

The traffic concurrency analysis used the cardinal distribution for the corresponding Traffic Analysis Zone (270) from the Miami-Dade County 2035 Transportation Model. All project traffic was assigned to corresponding County/FDOT available traffic count stations on the surrounding roadway network. The cardinal distribution was adjusted to account for the project's 2017 build out date. The count station and TAZ data is included in Attachment 2. The traffic concurrency evaluation form data is included in Attachment 3. Table 2 summarizes the roadway capacity analysis and shows that there is existing capacity on the impacted traffic count stations. TABLE 2- ROADWAY CAPACITY ANALYSIS Count Avail.

The proposed project is a bus facility where buses are stored and maintained. This project is located within the Urban Infill Area designated by Miami-Dade County and is not subject to traffic concurrency requirements. The site is located directly north of NW 123'd Street and west of the CSX Railroad spur west of NW 36th Avenue within the City of Opa-Locka. The site is currently vacant. The site is located between two east/west railroad lines and has two proposed driveway connections to NW 123'd Street. The surrounding area is generally industrial. All project traffic is expected to use NW 123' Street to access the closest County roadway, NW 32"d Avenue, located east of the project. NW 123'd street is a two-lane local roadway. NW 32nd Avenue is a four-lane divided arterial roadway. TRIP GENERATION The proposed project is a bus facility where bus drivers will arrive to pick up their assigned bus. The site includes a bus garage and an office building. The Daily, AM peak hour and PM peak hour trip generation were calculated using the equations from the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE), Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. The intermodal truck terminal land use category is the most closely related to the bus facility for the peak hours. Daily trip generation for the bus facility was calculated using the truck terminal rate from the ITE Trip Generation Users Guide and Handbook, 9th Edition. The daily rate for the intermodal truck terminal would be significantly higher than the expected number of daily trips for the bus facility. The trip generation estimates for the proposed land uses are summarized in Table 1. This project is estimated to generate 456 daily, 81 AM peak hour and 64 PM peak hour trips.

The subject property is located within the City of Opa-Locka, Miami-Dade County, Florida approximately 450 feet west of the NW 36' Avenue and NW 123'd Street intersection, and can further be identified by tax folio numbers 08-2129-0180-0010 and 30-2129-0180-0010 of Section 28 and 29, Township 55 South, Range 41 East of Miami-Dade County (refer to Figure-01 in Appendix A). Improvements to the site consist of the construction of a three story office building, bus maintenance garage and associated bus and passenger parking areas. The site is a maintenance bus depot of the Academy Bus charter fleet in South Florida. The public will not be able to get on/off the private charter buses at this site. The proposed exfiltration trench system is designed to retain the volume generated by the 5 Year storm based on the Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Recourses (RER) regulations for private parking lot areas. The subject property will be provided potable water and sanitary sewer services by Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department. No dewatering is proposed as a part of this application. STORMWATER DESIGN METHODOLOGY This study was prepared using methods contained in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Publication TR-55 "Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds". These procedures simulate a watershed as a series of overland and channel flows, and inflow / outflow structures for its contribution to runoff. A value for area, curve number (CN) was calculated for the site. The curve number is a land sensitive coefficient that dictates the relationship between total rainfall depth and direct storm runoff. Based on the coverage of soil groups and land use in the area, a weighted CN was determined for each drainage area for proposed conditions. A curve number for the proposed development was determined using the soil storage method as described in the SFWMD Volume IV. 2 The peak flood stage for each design storm was determined using the SFWMD soil storage method as described in the SFWMD Volume IV while assuming zero discharge. The SFWMD Volume IV soil storage method calculations are detailed in Appendix B. The design storms used in this analysis are the 5 Year 1 Hour, 10 Year 24 Hour, 25 Year 72 Hour and 100 Year 72 Hour storm as required by the SFWMD. Refer to Appendix A for the rainfall amounts for each design storm event. EXISTING CONDITIONS General Site Description The proposed project is located in Section 28 and 29, Township 52S and Range 41E within areas of the City of Opa-Locka, approximately 450 feet west of the NW 36th Avenue and NW 123`d Street intersection. The majority of the site is currently vacant, consisting of a grassed/dirt fields with no existing improvement onsite. According to FEMA FIRM Map 12086C0119L, last revised 11 September 2009, portions of the site are located within Zone AE (El. 7) and the remaining positions are within Zone X. The minimum finish elevation according to Florida building code shall be 8.0' NGVD. The County Flood Criteria for the site is elevation 6.0' NGVD. Soil Conditions and Water Table Elevations "Constant Head Open-Hole Tests" to determine hydraulic conductivities were performed by Universal Engineering Science to a depth of 15 feet below existing grade. The results conclude that the average hydraulic conductivity is approximately 4.84 x 10-' cfs/ft2-ft. (See Appendix A). A factor of safety of 2 was used in design. A seasonal high water elevation was referenced from Sheet W.C. 2.2 entitled Average October Groundwater Level 1960 — 1975 of the Public Works Manual of Miami-Dade County and was determined to be at elevation 3.0' NGVD (see Appendix A). 3 PROPOSED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Exfiltration Trench The proposed stormwater management for the site is comprised of an exfiltration trench system and catch basins to collect the proposed runoff. The stormwater management system will provide the required water quality treatment in addition to retaining the 5-Year design storm event and within the onsite retention ponds. The exfiltration trench is 1,406 feet long and consists of a 4 foot wide by 15 feet deep trench with a 15-inch perforated pipe. The invert of the pipe is at elevation 3.00'. Overall Site Calculations The runoff generated by the site will be captured and discharge through a network of exfiltration trenches. The exfiltration trench shall retain the 5 Year design storm event. The exfiltration trench, soil storage and surface storage will provide the required onsite retention for the 10 Year and 25 Year design storm events. The maximum stage for each storm event with zero discharge is provided below. • 10 Year 24 Hour Storm —6.35' NGVD • 25 Year 72 Hour Storm —6.82' NGVD • 100 Year 72 Hour Storm — 7.00' NGVD The sites perimeter grading has been set to elevation 6.85' NGVD to retain the 25 Year storm event onsite.

(UES) has completed borehole exfiltration and double ring infiltration testing for the above-referenced project in Opa-Locka, Miami-Dade County, Florida. The scope of this project was conducted in general accordance with UES proposal dated September 24, 2014 and authorized by you on September 29, 2014. This project was performed in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation engineering practices. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made. As you requested, our geotechnical scope of services included performing two(2)borehole exfiltration tests(P-1 and P-2) at depths of 15 feet below existing grade in general accordance with the usual open-hole constant head method promulgated by the South Florida Water Management District(SFWMD). Additionally, our scope of services included the performance of two (2) double ring infiltration tests (DR-1 and DR-2) near the ground surface for the use of drainage evaluations and design. The double ring infiltration testing was performed in accordance with ASTM D-3385. A hand auger boring was performed at each double ring infiltration test location to explore the near surface subsurface stratigraphy. The test locations were selected and marked in the field by you prior to mobilization. Refer to Test Location Plan attached to this letter for approximate test locations. This data report only contains a test location plan, a table summary of constant head exfiltration test results from field testing and infiltration rates based on the results of the field double ring infiltration testing. Engineering interpretation of the results with respect to the project characteristics and/or recommendations for groundwater considerations, foundation design, pavement design and site preparation recommendations were not part of our scope of services. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project and look forward to a continued association. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.

Academy Bus-Land Use Change From Utility To Industrial REQUEST: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (SMALL CIRCLE) APPROVAL TO CHANGE THE LAND USE FROM UTILITY TO INDUSTRIAL OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROPERTY DESCRIBED BY ITS LEGAL DESCRIPTION SPECIFICALLY FOLIO NO. 08-2129-018-0010. Mr. Gay: Chairman this item has four parts. The executives from Bus Academy will be coming before the Planning Council Board to do a presentation relating all four parts to the item. They will be explaining each part separately. The first part of the item is the Comprehensive Plan amendment, the second part of the item will address the zoning change, the third part of the item Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 2 of 43 will address the development agreement, and the fourth part of this item will deal with the site plan. Chairman if it's at your pleasure the applicant will come first to do their presentation then afterwards staff will come forth to do their presentation. Graham Penn: I can give an overall view of the entire project and then explain each 4 items separately. Chairman Russell: I prefer for you to explain each item separately one at a time so I can have a better understanding. Graham Penn: David Lehmkuhlu is the applicant from Academy Bus. The engineering team consists of Lenny Rodriguez and John Kim they are here for any questions if you have any. We've worked very hard for this project which will be a win-win for the great City of Opa-locka. The drawing here shows in "blue" that the property is zoned I-2 which is the city most intense industrial district. This district allows other open lot uses. We share the same zone with the property of the south. This white line is the edge of the county. Our property is majority within the city. The staff has been working close with the county to ask them if they have any questions. It has been incorporated into our application. The portion of the county is already zoned industrial. The red lines are for the railroad lines railroad spurs which is illustrated on the drawing. All of the CXX railroads goes south and serve all uses. To the West is 1-3 which is the planned industrial which is a less intense district. Cairo lane auto use is zoned I-2A which only permits special automobiles and junk yard uses. There is a disagreement plan between what the land use plan says and what the zoning says. This property is under the Comprehensive Plan is designated Utility. Utility is commonly used for utility uses. It was owned by CXX for a long Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 3 of 43 time. CXX is a railroad which is consisted with utilities. It was sold to us. The land use is limited to making our land use consist with existing zone. The change was going to be made any way. We are doing it slightly early. It really was a timing issue clearing up a technical issue. I can stop now to hear from staff at this point. Chairman Russell: Do any of the Planning Council Members have any questions? Member Barnes: Let me get this straight, you want us to determine if we want to change from utility to industrial to zoning on the Comprehensive Plan? Under assumption that we adopt? The Comprehensive Plan? Graham Penn: Under the current Comprehensive Plan to redesignate this plan from utility to industrial that's it. It has nothing to do with the future plan. The future plan will come in and match it. Member Barnes: I understood that part, I just wanted to make sure my council members understood. We are making a vote on this parcel, or should we in act a new plan. This seems very premature. Member Guerrero: The use that you want falls under the I-2 zoning? Graham Penn: Yes it does. It is consistent with I-1. This portion of the application solves the problem. Chairman Russell: It has not been approved but down the road it might be approved, but I agree with my fellow council. It sounds immature to me as well. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 4 of 43 Graham Penn: I will be more specific; anyone can come in and amend the Comprehensive Plan which is why we can file another application. We needed to get this moving forward so we can develop this property. In the absence of this application not being approved. I cannot wait until this document goes up to Tallahassee and get reviewed and come back. This is all really a house keeping issue. I believe that staff will agree with me. This has happen where the Comprehensive Plan and zoning does not match which is why we fix the problem. In every city we fix the problem it is not anything unusual this is something people file all the time. This little eight acres should be industrial. Mr. Chairman if I don't have anything this project will go away. I can't go forward. As I said before the comp plan will make the exact same change. It is the right thing to do. This is appropriate for the neighborhood and staff agrees. Chairman Russell: Anymore questions? Member Tydus: The key word to my colleagues is "housekeeping". It's really a housekeeping issue that hasn't been changed. Chairman Russell: It hasn't been changed. Mr. Gay: If it's okay could our staff do their presentation? This may answer some of your questions or concerns. Mr. Leger: Good evening, we've already went over the agenda. We are looking at the first item which is the small scale amendment. Just an overview about the site is designated utility when you look at the current comp plan as of now. It is not much of utilization it is very limited. That's when we decided based on the proposal we cannot go forth without a comp plan amendment which will be a land use scale. The small scale is something that allows the Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 5 of 43 municipality to conduct a change and send it to the state not to review but advise them of the changes that the city has made for this specific development. This is considered a small scale because it is less than ten acres. Chairman would you like for me to proceed with the presentation? Chairman Russell: Unless you have more information we need to know. Mr. Leger: Just the comp plan amendment. Graham Penn: We just want to confirm with staff. We are here if you have any questions. Mr. Gay: As long as the property is under the land use it has very limited use for redevelopment. Under the definition of utility it can be used by the railroad, water company, or electrical company. It is a large portion of property. As staff we do recommend that this land use change be made from utility to industrial. Chairman Russell: I understand staff recommendation, but what is "Academy Bus" company? Graham Penn: They are the largest charter bus operation. Chairman Russell: What do they do exactly? Graham Penn: It's a bus depot, bus maintenance, and brand new office building. 6,000 square office building. It has bus parking and 140 new trees all landscaping. Chairman Russell: It's too many times where we have change zoning for certain businesses to fit. We have a responsibility to get things done. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 6 of 43 Mr. Leger: We are not changing the zoning. The zoning is already in place for that type of use to come in. There is an inconsistency between the comp plan and the zoning as it stands right now. Chairman Russell: Then why are you asking us to change it? Mr. Leger: It is the land use. The comp plan addresses the land use and the land development regulation addresses the zoning. The land use for the parcel is not consistent with the current zoning without this project. The zoning is I-2 but the land use is utility. Member Guerrero: We would use an amendment? Mr. Gay: In order for this property to develop a comp plan would have to take place. We've been dealing with the comp plan for several months now. They have decided to not wait until the change occurs with the city. As a private applicant they are entitled to do so as property owners. Chairman Russell: I would get some advice from the attorney to make sure it is zoning right. Member Guerrero: The zoning is right. Attorney Brown: The zoning is right the type of use that is permitted on the property is inconsistent. They want to make the zoning and use of the property consistent with each other. The question begins here, "Are you going to make them wait until you rewrite the entire comp plan? Let's say it takes five years to re-write the comprehensive plan. Are you going to make them wait five years for this process to complete itself before new jobs are brought to the city? Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 7 of 43 Chairman Russell: Can we get a motion to move this project to move forward. Member Guerrero: I make a motion to pass the first item. Rose Tydus: I second. Upon roll call motion passed 5-0 Oria Rodriguez - Yes Elio Guererro - Yes Rose Tydus - Yes Calvin Russell - Yes Germane Barnes - Yes V. Academy Bus-Zoning Text Change to Allow Fueling Attorney Brown: The second item on the agenda. The applicant name is Academy Bus, LLC-David Lehmkuhlu. The property address is at the most western point of NW 123rd Street on the north side of the street; Folio No. 08-2129-018-0010. The legal description is 10th ADDN to SEABOARD IND PARK PB 158-44 TR A LESS BEG SE COR OF TR A IN SEC 28 TH S 87 DEG W 25 FT N 01 DEG W 1198. 27 FT SELY AD 135.88 FT SOl DEG E 1064.81 FT TO POB LOT SIZE 337304 SQ FT FAU 30 2129 018 0010 OR 22784-2048 1004 2; REQUEST: LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION/ZONING CODE ORDINANCE 86-8 TEXT AMENDMENT APPROVAL TO ADD SERVICE FILLING STATION: NO MOTOR VEHICLE SERVICE FILLING STATION OR GASOLINE PUMP SHALL BE PERMITTED ON ANY LOT OR WITHIN ANY STRUCTURE IN THIS DISTRICT EXCEPT WHERE NECESSARY TO SERVICE VEHICLES USED SOLELY IN CONNECTION WITH THE LICENSED BUSINESS PERMITTED ON SUCH LOT AND WHEN SO LOCATED, SHALL NOT BE VISIBLE FROM VIEW FROM THE STREET. TO ARTICLE 6.11 THE I-2 (LIBERAL INDUSTRIAL) AS PROPOSED SUB-SECTION 6.a Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 8 of 43 Mr. Gay: We would like our city staff if approved by the board to come up to do their presentation. It may address many concerns you may have. Mr. Penn if you have any questions feel free to ask Mr. Leger. Mr. Leger: The next item on the agenda is the Land development code text amendment approval request. This is not changing the zoning. This project wants to service their own vehicles. In the I-2 that language is not written. The applicant is looking for the board approval to allow the language. This is the I-2 zoning district. The purpose of this district is to provide areas in appropriate locations where various heavy industrial operations can be conducted in any way as not to create environmental hazards to the general public or property devaluation of surrounding uses. The language the applicant is looking to add is in red "service filling station: No motor vehicle service filling station or gasoline pump shall be permitted on any lot or within any structure in this district except where necessary to service vehicles used solely in connection with the licensed business permitted on such lot and, when so located, shall not be visible from view from the street. To ARTICLE 6.11 THE I-2 (LIBERAL INDUSTRIAL) AS PROPOSED SUB- SECTION 6.a. when located it shall not be visible from view from the street. So based on your approval, if you choose to approve, once this gets put into the property, it cannot be visible from the streets or public right of way. That is one of things we are recommending. Chairman Russell: Thank you. Are there any questions? Then we will call for the Public Hearing. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 9 of 43 Member Rodriguez: I have a question. I just want to know, the property, how big is it, how many acres? Mr. Leger: The property is approximately 8.2, 8.3 acres. And that's including the piece that's part of Miami-Dade County. Without the piece that is in Miami-Dade County, the unincorporated area, it is about 7.7 acres. Do you want to vote or do you want me to continue on? Chairman Russell: No, we will continue with the public hearing. Public Hearing is now open. Daunte Starks: Thank you Mr. Chair, Daunte Starks for the record. I'm OK with the. Chairman Russell: Wait; wait....what about your address? Daunte Starks: Well, I'm exempt as a former Law Enforcement Officer. You can check with Attorney. I'm OK with the development, my concern is if you're going to permit the fuel, they said up to thirty thousand gallons of gas. Now how is this going to be permitted? I know it is not open to the public. Is it a series of inspections from Dade County? You know, dealing with the buses. The many fires that we have had in Opa-locka, I'm just looking at it as a safety issue. Where is the oversight coming in versus a regular public gas station? Because you're dealing with, I'm assuming you're dealing with their large buses they will just be fueling their buses and also are we receiving the revenue from this or are they exempt as we do from gas stations when we do our yearly total for our budget that comes from all the utility tax, gas taxes and all that. Are they exempt because they are buying their gas and they're just fueling themselves or the usage based on tax comes back to the City as a percentage of revenue to the city? The safety issue, is one I want to have addressed with the many fires and I know we are closer to Opa-locka Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 10 of 43 Air Port, and you have those type of fires a certain type of engine or a large facility such as this. And the gas station is so close to, I guess the main manufacturing facility, which I'm in favor of, is it all on the same lot. Is the distance from there; is it a safety issue with the gas being on the same lot with the manufacturing facility? Who is going to perform those safety inspections? I want this to be on the record when you guys make the decision please. Thank you. Chairman Russell: Who wants to address those issues? Who is going to address those issues? Attorney Penn: I think I can start Mr. Chairman. First off, the new language is just the red language. The language in bold already exist. This is what we're adding. Basically subterranean tanks like any other gas system. All of that needs to be permitted through the County DERM reviews all subterranean tanks anywhere, so that would be reviewed through them. We can show you on the plan where they are, again we are talking about a simple pump that many cities have for their Police cars, many of these existing surrounding uses already have them and they are also currently allowed everywhere in the I-3 zone of the City. So all we're doing is adding that to a more expansive district than I-3. Let me just show you this. You may want to come up Daunte if you want to see this. I will talk about this when I get to the site plan part,but the filing area here is right behind the proposed bus garage and bus wash area which is a big thing for academy, buses must be always washed and clean. Come in washed, filled up, and go and park. So that is basically where they are, how it works, they're not manufacturing on this property. All this is, for all intents and purposes, is a giant parking lot with a repair garage and this is just an added part of it. So, as staff indicated this is a very common thing, many operations that deal with trucking,busing, etc., and it is consistent already with what you allow in the I-3 district. So that is why we have requested this small amendment. And that is it. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 11 of 43 Chairman Russell: Okay are there any other questions? Member Guerrero: It is consistent with the I-3 but not allowed in the I-2? I guess this is a question for staff. Mr. Gay: The issue that relates to the gas filling portion is the fact that it is going to be for their own private use. It's not a public used gas station facility which is not subject to all of the other issues as it relates to selling gas. They are basically utilizing it as a gas station to fill their own vehicles to provide tourism services. Member Guerrero: This is by the text, or there is no special exception in there? That is what I'm not clear on. Attorney Penn: The question is it allowed in the I-3 District; understand it is allowed by right in the I-3 zone, right without any public hearing. So this is just like the comp plan issue, a quirk of the code that we're fixing because I-3 is less intensive than I-2. Chairman Russell: So the issue is not if the gas is to serve the public or not, the issue is that the safety part of it and whether the city will gain any monies from this use or this type of facility, using gas. Is there any revenue to the city? Mr. Gay: As it relates to the revenues, those revenues are usually tied to gasoline that is resold to the public. This particular facility is not reselling gas. They are basically, fueling their own vehicles. They in essence will not be subject to the same rules as it relates to the gas tax for private use as it relates to public use. They are not reselling, that is not the same thing. As it relates to the gas station function itself it is not technically allowed in the I-2 by right that is why Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 12 of 43 this issue is coming before you,because of the size of the property we feel that it is one the better uses for this location. To allow them to have a gas station facility is proper as it relates to the operation itself. Chairman Russell: So zone three has this type of use already. Is this project in zone three? So are we saying that zone three has it so I should be able to put it in zone two,because it is in that same area? Mr. Gay: The I-3 district has it by right and I-2 does not. That is why it is before you now. Chairman Russell: I am really trying to grasp how they want to just write in their own language to what they want. Like you said, the red is not what is in the permitted use, what is in the permitted use is number six. Then what is under number six is what they have added for their benefit, for what they want to do. I understand, but is that proper? Mr. Gay: To give you a better understanding. Chairman Russell: No I'm asking the Attorney, Mr. Attorney is that proper? This is the first time I'm having this issue come in and they write in what fits them and it is not what is in the. permitted use. They are adding to the permitted use. Attorney Brown: Normally that is how it happens. You have a zoning code or land use code, and what they want, the use not proper or inconsistent with the zoning code or the land use code. They work with staff and get a proposed agreement as to what would be the permitted use on the property. And you see what happens is most times when you have these applications come before you is because they are trying to tailor the amendment to the particular use they want on a Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 13 of 43 particular property. So it is not uncommon, it is very common. Now whether you decide to do it or not, that is a policy decision for this board. Member Guerrero: So what exactly is it. Witch way are we going to frame it? Are we voting on an amendment to this particular...I'm unclear on...I understand their use. Attorney Brown: You are voting to approve the request that the applicant has made. That is what you are voting to do. And the request has been laid out to you all in the agenda item that has been presented. So you are either going to accept their request or reject their request or amend the request that they made. So you have one of three options, vote it up, vote it down, or amend the request as per your particulars. Member Barnes: Mr. Attorney, I have a question. So, reading the amendment, there is more than one I-2 zoning location within Opa-locka. This amendment would also apply to those areas by adding this language to the bottom of point six, is that correct? Attorney Brown: It is particular to this piece of property, that's why the legal description is there. You are not making a comprehensive change to the zoning code or the master plan. That's why they reference the property in the legal description. The property is referenced by the legal description in which the amendment or the zoning change or use change is required for. Member Barnes: So it is for this parcel only? Attorney Brown: This parcel specific. Member Guerrero: So what is the difference between that and spot zoning? Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 14 of 43 Attorney Brown: In each situation, whenever you have these situations come before you, you can call it spot zoning. If you don't permit some types of use you will not permit any development in your city. So you have to make a decision as the Planning Council as to what you will permit or what you will not permit. That is what you've got to do. So it is a policy decision as to what you are going to permit. If you don't want to permit it, vote it up or vote it down. Chairman Russell: Any more questions? Was your question answered concerning the gas? Daunte Starks: For the record I got a response from staff that I do not think is adequate. My particular concern is not what they are bringing to the City, but the safety issue with the gas and the revenue. So if we are going to maintain the fire hydrants, to make sure this facility is safe, even though it is in I-2 and it is permitted in I-3 but if you vote to make the exception; but if the gasoline goes in the ground and they don't go to the public gas stations that serve diesel in Opa- locka where we would get the revenue off the gas for every gallon; and they are going to do it privately which is more convenient for them, then their ought to be something there, some type of revenue versus them going to a regular gas station to give back to the City based on the amount of gallons given, because you are still using our facilities and our infrastructure. Now it is not shutting the place down, not stopping them from bringing business to the City but at the same time, every other bus and trucking company goes to a public gas stations. If we are going to give in the 1-2 then I think it ought to be some give when it comes to tax increments that come off of gasoline because it is convenient for them. They are going to buy it wholesale, they are going to put it into the ground, they are going to service it, and they are going to put it in their Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 15 of 43 buses, at a cheaper rate and therefore based on what the Director of Community Development is saying, they don't have to give us any revenue. That is my concern. Chairman Russell: Any response to that? Attorney Penn: Yeah, I think I can answer that. First off, I think it is important to remember that this is not something unusual. Every large distribution center, an operation like a bus depot, other uses like this, large places that have trucks that are constantly moving around, diesel operations, when they can be this efficient they are this efficient. They have the pumping station on the property. What this does for the City, gas taxes are not going to be paid as Mr. Gay said on gas that is not being sold retail. That is just the way it works. It is the same for every single business that does this; of course there are hundreds and hundreds in the County. The value to the City, obviously, is you're getting a brand new development on a property that was essentially unused for decades, which will bring jobs which will bring property taxes. We have already agreed in our development agreement that we are not going to seek to reduce the value; we are not going to seek to go and get our property taxes lowered. So the direct influx is of course through property taxes, and the money that is spent and the jobs that are created in the City. That is the bottom line, I can't remember the last time I saw an eighteen wheeler pull up to a public gas station that wasn't a truck stop somewhere in the middle of nowhere. For example, Winn Dixie, any of these big operations that are immediately to our East, they are all doing this. Those trucks are being fueled on site and that is the most efficient way of doing business for any of these large operations. All of these distribution companies, it is the same thing. It is nothing unusual, the City already puts it in I-3, which is a lesser district that what we have. We have the most intense district in the City. We thing it is appropriate that larger operations in the I-2 zone Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 16 of 43 would also be permitted to do this. And as to the safety issue, as you all know, site plan approval is required of any project anyway. So if there is someone who comes in some crazy idea about putting some kind of fueling station on some property, this Council will see it, this Council can deny such an application, which of course that is not the type of application that is before you tonight because our fueling station is in the right spot. If there are any safety concerns, that is an option the City will always have, you as the site plan reviewer, and of course permitting; DERM; etc, that everyone has to go through. So again, not uncommon, it is the opposite, it is incredibly common. Thank you very much. Chairman Russell: Public Hearing? Are there any more questions? Ok can I get a motion for it or against? Member Rodriguez: I make a motion to approve the service filling station, to add a service filling station to this project. Member Tydus: I second Chairman Russell: Roll Call?

Chairman Russell: Any questions? Member Barnes: This is a job creation question. Through the proposal you said that this would be the new HUB for Academy Bus LLC, and I just wanted to know if that meant that from the current facility you were going to be switching people from there to this facility. Or will you be hiring new individuals from the surrounding area. I keep hearing the word job creation, and I am trying to find out if jobs are being created or jobs are being moved. Attorney Penn: Right now we are moving, but as we grow we will be hiring people. We have eight people from the city working for us already as part of the operation. That is the short answer. I wanted to take you through the site plan. There are some items that are a bit unusual for the City of Opa-locka industrial areas. First and foremost, is the amount of landscaping that is going in. If anyone has been in this area and the unincorporated area, like the area to our North and to our South what you don't see on most industrial properties is any landscaping whatsoever. That is one of the great advantages you have of modern Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 20 of 43 development coming in is that we are now subjected to the current landscape standards that the County applies county-wide. If we take a look at the property as it exists, it is a sandy mess with invasive trees, and plants, that need to be removed. One of the elements of our plan is to install a significant amount of landscaping all around the property. We are installing 44 new trees, 90 % of which are native, the number of shrub plants and hedges is around 3000 or above that are going in. We are planting native species for a reason,because that means they'll be here in 10 years they're not going to be eaten by some pets because their natives. We think of that as everything else is a complete benefits to this project for example just north of that we have Cairo Lane, no street at all we have nothing it's the complete opposite of this. Not to be repetitive again we have 2 real element to this project we have the office building on the south which also is associated with the employee parking lot we have about 154 space for people coming and going and we have the propose bus garage. The garage area and the parking will have a gate, to prevent folks from coming in there that aren't supposed to be there. Of course we have first class very modern design, let me show you the elevations. This is the garage which again is a garage but it's very nice and clean design. This is the south elevation so it has a lot of glass windows and also facing east was the actual garage doors are located. This is the office building three stories high again this is very nice and modern construction. Overall, it will benefit the city. It's consistent with the entire site plan. Then again we've done a lot of work here to make sure we are limiting the interactions between the buses and regular vehicles. The entire left of the property that's the basics of the site plan if you guys have any question I am open to answer. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 21 of 43 Chairman Russell: any question from the board? Member Rodriguez: Will there be any kind of Arabian motif design or something added to the building I believe that the city wants that. Attorney Penn: I'm trying to remember if the city is still enforcing that for industrial properties the idea that we have is a very clean type of modern design and simple design and this is really not a building that's going to be seen by the public it's always from the public views adjacent to railroads lines and spurs. And the staff never requested it. Therefore we have designed short of a clean model of modern design that's easy to maintain and the long-term standpoint. Member Rodriguez: Can we hear from staff: Mr. Gay: As it relates to the Arabian motif for the property in most cases we do look at it as a requirement for buildings that are going to be adjacent or visible from the public mostly on your major commercial corridors and you're downtown district where we would like to celebrate and reflect that particular design. As it relates to the industrial area that has been an attempt by previous developers to add some type of accent that can be viewed as a motive somewhat Arabian and one sense and there has been some good attempts at it and some not so good attempts at it. None the less, attempts were made if the board so desire to request this particular applicant makes a request to have some type of Arabian motif you have the opportunity to do so but we as staff did not make it a particular requirement because it's an industrial use and it's not going to be visible pretty much from the public views and we felt that it was not necessary to have it with Arabian type of motif design. Member Rodriguez: Thank you. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 22 of 43 Chairman Russell: Any other question? Mr. Gay concerning the wall most folks would put up the requirements. Isn't that a requirement for them to do? Mr. Gay: Iit has been a requirement and it still is a requirement as we're looking into what's occurring into the industrial area where we want to make sure that we prevent any encouragement not acceptable concerning graffiti. There is a lot of graffiti that's done for most of the industrial areas that a property owner or business owner will have to deal with. When you deal with either something of a decorative fence or an enhance chain link fence the sense of graffiti or destruction of property is less and it could become less apparent as opposed to shrubs with chain link fence. If you so choose this particular type of item is something that could be referred to the zoning board because the zoning board does deal with variances and regards to the type of fences that goes on a property versus a concrete wall. Chairman Russell: So what have we done in the past in order for them to do fence, did the project get variance? Mr. Gay: From the recommendations of this board, they were referred to the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Zoning Board of Appeals actually approved or denied them to do chain link fence vs. a concrete wall. Chairman Russell: Any other question? Public hearing is open, public hearing is closed. Can we get a motion to approve or deny. Member Guerrero: I give a motion to approve the site plan with the recommendations of staff. Member Rodriguez: I second. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 23 of 43 REQUEST: THE REQUEST IS TO CONSIDER OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT APPROVAL FOR THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE FOLLOWING 6,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING EMPLOYEE PARKING A 12400 SQUARE FOOT BUS GARAGE AND 150 OPEN BUS PARKING SPACES. Chairman Russell: Does Community Development have anything? Mr. Leger: The request has already being read to you this is the development agreement it's an important document this is pretty much a live document has a stand right now. There is one that's part of the package if there is anything that she would like to add or any concern that you may have with anything about this project you can address it now. One other thing is that the City of Opa-locka has been very active on making sure that whatever development that's coming in the city within their construction phase process that they gave the opportunity for employment to Opa-locka residence. As you can see and the development agreement this is just supplemental or echoed what's actually on the development agreement which are maintain 100 percent of the proposed site plan, extend employment opportunities to the city of Opa-locka residents, one of the concern that staff has with this proposed development agreement is the construction phase and timeline as part of your packet for the development agreement the applicant has recommended or proposed a different timeline from what the city usually ask for. Chairman Russell: Is it more or less? Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 25 of 43 Mr. Leger: The applicant has requested more time. Its part of your package under development conditions you'll see the sections under as the proposed timeline by the applicant and the strikethrough represent what the standard requested timeline from the city. Compliance with resolution number 50/50 fare share agreement, maintain 100% of the site as proposed on this site plan. This is important as the applicant stated earlier that the owner or any assigned successors may not seek for a lower property assessment through the Value Adjustment Board with (VAB) for the subject property during the 30 year of the development agreement. This is done in effort for the city properties to maintain or improve the property values citywide. Also all fees related to the subject property or liens related to code enforcement shall be in satisfied status prior to the execution of this agreement. Even though there are no noncompliant physical structure on the property it is standard for the city to ensure the removal of any noncompliant physical structure within the subject property prior to the execution of this agreement. Also code enforcement shall be allowed to enter the property pursuant to F.S. ch. 163.3235. The City shall visit the property as twice a year to determine compliance with the development agreement terms and conditions. Chairman Russell: Are you all in agreement with the time line? Mr. Leger: The timeline we usually recommends is not the same as the proposed timeline by the developer, and it's a decision that you all can make here today in light of getting a set timeline for the developer's to abide by of course in consideration or their request and circumstances. Chairman Russell: They want an extended time? Mr. Leger: It's a decision you all can make. Mr. Gay: This is the information that we proffered to the developer as far as a timeline of course we would to move as expeditiously as possible even if at a faster time that will be even better. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 26 of 43 However we are to also consider unforeseen circumstances as it relates to approvals that are outside of the City's scope. Yes we are in agreement with the information that has been provided. Chairman Russell: Thank you, any other question? Member Barnes: So how much extra time is needed? Graham Penn: Our goal basically is to start as soon as we can. All we ask for is to be able to have the flexibility through the manager for having the ability to request time extension if needed. Instead of six months, we asked for 12 months and so on. If the Planning Council recommends the standard number then all we would ask is the ability to ask for extension through the manager if needed to. Chairman Russell: You are not just asking to extend the time for a couple of month. You basically asking to be able to move forward you asking for a year, which to me is a big difference from six months. Graham Penn: Again we have to go through you, we have to go through DERM, we have to go through every other process that's involve in this process for the application we don't know what's out there. Some application are a pain to go trough and it takes a while to get things approve through. So we are trying to as fast as the City can move, and the County and that's we just trying to provide ourselves with that flexibility. An again if the Council want to suggest a lower number as long as the manager can provide us with time extension for good cause we're fine with it. You now we had put in our language 12 months extension for both permits and for Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 27 of 43 the construction through the Manager for good cause as long as that language is in there I'll be more comfortable with the standard 180 days that the City is recommending. Because that would allow us with ultimate flexibility if something comes up that put our feet to the fire to move forward. I mean I can tell this entire package is necessary for us to go forward. So that mean including and I know that we've already voted on it, including the filling portion of it the gasoline portion of it with the absence of any of these element I'm either illegal to the City or this is something we can't do. So again we are eager to move it forward we will, if the will of the Council to return to the typical number we won't mind as long as I have the flexibility and ability to seek an extension through the manager I'm fine. Chairman Russell: Ms. Tydus, Member Tydus: Thank you Mr. Chair, to the Director, what is the penalty to whatever noncompliance to whatever terms that are set? Mr. Gay: Usually the Penalty as it relates to noncompliance is usually towards the approval process. There is not really any place you can place any real penalty that construed to financial or things of that nature, if it don't meet a particular timeline you really have to measure it in the scope of their development type and timeline. As a good corporate citizen we're expecting them to be if they foreseeing difficulties ahead there the ability to seek an extended timeline will be most appropriate. In some cases we've had property owners or developers who have proffered differently in regard to this agreement and turned into deaf ear to the City and not following the terms of those actions that they so desire to do. We're actually looking into having the ability to retrieve back prior approvals for affected projects for lack of a better phrase and that's actually Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 28 of 43 another item. As far as this particular item we believe that they will follow through they have the desire and they do have the team in place to do this particular project and go through this particular process. We do not for see that there will be any particular issue with this project not following through any particular timeline. Member Tydus: Thank you. Chairman Russell: Mr. Gay, so if I heard the gentleman correctly he said that regarding the gas station it can hinder them from moving trough because the gas station didn't pass? Because he said its either we want it or not? I didn't understand that statement please help me understand that statement because it has been voted down. Mr. Gay: With that particular item you have to look at this particular item in the same form of other related type of Businesses Corporation such as FedEx or UPS. They do not drive up to any particular gas station. Chairman Russell: That's not what I asked. Mr. Gay: I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Chairman Russell: Due to the fact that the item didn't pass, and he said that whether we wanted or not. Is that why he feels that he needs to more time to complete this project, that's all I'm asking yes or no? Mr. Gay: Yes, it can possibly hold up the project. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 29 of 43 Chairman Russell: Ok, any other questions? Thank you, public hearing open: Dante Starks once again, I made a comment, but after hearing the comments from the Community Development Director gives me the mindset maybe he needs to sit down here with the company. Because my position is on the welfare of the City, now how we get to FedEx and UPS and those other company. I'm talking about Opa-locka they're in Hialeah. So whatever they went to in Hialeah, amenities, they worked out with Hialeah it was good for Hialeah. In the City of Opa- locka with the numerous amount of fire we've had, the County Commission is even concern about the amount of fire we've had in the City of Opa-locka. I'm not trying to run a business out and I'm not speaking against the applicant. I'm speaking on behalf of the City and so the comments I made is in regards to the tax revenue. The City is going trough hardship therefore we need to recognize when opportunities come for us to see revenue no matter how small of an amount but it adds up. The acquisition is if they going to drop those tanks on the ground and they're not going to contributing anything to the City tax revenue because of their exemption for service station then in lieu of that they should put in the development agreement some type of impact fee or monetary incentives even if based on a yearly basis especially for a company that size whatever the Council or the City Commission decided or work out for that amount to be then that's what it should be. It's not a matter of proffering for other city and what they're doing is about the City of Opa-locka. That's why I got up, for us to seat here and the Community Development Director give a shout to other company and other cities that's way out of line. I want that on the record. I didn't hear you Council. Member Tydus: I said thank you very much. I'm speaking through the Chairman I thought he was in charge, Mr. Chairman, but raising your voice is not necessary. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 30 of 43 Dante Starks: Thank you. Chairman Russell: We don't want to go there, because I've heard voices rose louder before in this place. He wasn't disturb or rudely so that's it. Public is open say what you have to say and then we move on. Any other questions, public hearing still open, public hearing close. If there's no further question can we get a motion to move it or reject this project? Member Guerrero: I motion to approve the Development Agreement with the staff recommendation. Member Rodriguez: I second the motion. Chairman Russell: We have a second can we get a roll call: Upon Roll call, motion pass 5-0 Germane Barnes - Yes Oria Rodriguez - Yes Elio Guerrero - Yes Rose Tydus - Yes Calvin Russell - Yes Graham Penn: Thank you very much. Attorney Brown: 5th and final item. The applicant is the city of Opa-locka Community Development address is 3400 NW 135th Street, Bldg. B, Opa-locka, FL 33054. The request is for the City Commission to consider an ordinance adopting the city of Opa-locka HUD Community Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 31 of 43 Challenge Grant base amendment to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) and land use map also known as the sustainable Opa-locka 20/30 Comprehensive Plan and authorizing transmittal to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and other review agency. Chairman Russell: Mr. Gay, you have a presentation, I like to say that, this issue has been on board we been having a lot of workshops and meetings leading to one thing to another with this project. So, I don't think we all have to spent a lot of time recapping and repeating over and over what has already been said so let's get the facts out and get this project done then go home. Mr. Gay: Mr. Chair what I like to do because this was an item that was deferred from our last meeting and then the deferral was based on a document that was presented from our last meeting by one of the Board Member relating to three amendments as it relates to the comp plan. Basically what I like to do is to make a presentation to address what was discussed and how the city is addressing the concerns relating to those amendments. Chairman Russell: That's fine. Mr. Gay: Ok, the first amendment and actually the document give several different references, I guess you can say some comp plan language and in some cases the language reflected some item that could be address by the comp plan and other cases the items were related to the Land Development Regulation. This is the next document that will be brought before you. We reviewed all that information and were able to determine which particular item need to go forward as a part of the comp plan and which were to go forward as a part of the Land Development Regulation. As it relate to the first item which dealt with the mix use. There was Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 32 of 43 expression of concern that the city had a zoning overlay for mix use and that particular zoning overlay covers a significant amount of area within the city, when that particular item was first proffered as a zoning overlay it only addressed at that particular time the major commercial corridors that would be 135th Street, 27th Avenue, Ali-baba Avenue and 22nd Avenue and the connector those were the primary streets that they talked about. That particular document did not have a map associated with it at the time, so that particular legislation was amended with a map showing where this coverage actually occurred and the city commission approved that particular item. As is stands right now that is legislation that has already been passed, its already been codified and it is recognized within the industry today in order for the city to back track and try to reduce the amount of areas that were a part of this mix use overlay the city would actually be subject to some property rights issues,because you are now giving property owners an opportunity to do mix use in certain areas of the city and for the city to go back and try to reduce some of those areas, you actually would be subject to a law suit and we don't necessary want to have the city in that particular position right now, at the same time we do have to recognize and understand that was done by zoning and not by land use at that particular time. So that particular item we feel that we cannot move forward with, and actually it's a zoning item there are some land use language that we are including to recognize those areas that have already moved forward as a part of that and those areas will be addressed within the comp plan and the language will read as such, so that particular item in not going to be moved forward on at this particular time. The other item is the second amendment relating to single family attached homes, and when we looked at that particular issue we actually did not have any reservations at all, introducing a new type of housing product to the city of Opa-locka. it's a housing product Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 33 of 43 that is being utilize in other part of the county and depending on the benefits of materials using in construction, it can be viewed as an affordable option for those who desire to have a property or house that is connected to another house, is very close and formal fashion to townhome development, but in this particular case instead of you being attach to maybe four, five six houses all connected together which is commonly called clustered homes, this is a situation where you only have two in most cases that particular type of housing product is allowed within our code as is right now and we are going through the process of amending the land use regulation to identify and actually accept this as a potential housing product for the city of Opa- locka. So that is an item that also will be addressed under the land use code and not necessary a comprehensive plan item, because it will still be under a residential use, so that is how we are going to be addressing that particular Amendment. The third amendment that was brought to our attention focus on the area just west of the downtown area known as the barracks and it actually ask us to look at and expend the mix use opportunities or having a mix use overlay apply to the entire barrack area, as it relates to some of the studies that were done and there was one study in particular that was done for the barrack area, this was a study that was commission by Opa-locka community development corporation and it was conducted by University of Miami school of architecture, we looked at that particular study and it recommended a gradual decrease in height as you move from the focus area along Ali-baba avenue and then as you move further to the north, it decreased in height and which basically mean it went from a median scale mix use residential development, but by the time you got closer to the single family home the only option that will be available as it relates to residential development would be your duplex housing or townhome type development. The opportunity for a mix use to occur within that area of the Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 34 of 43 barracks area it did not seen to be as apparent because you decreasing in density and you are decreasing in your ability to add a mix use which is in essence adding a commercial or a office type use in addition to the residential use. That ability to do that as you got closer to the single family home was reduced where we have the mix use occurring now is pretty much in between Ali-baba avenue and fisherman which is where you have a higher opportunity of density as it relates to the study and what was recommended as a part of that study, the study recommended heights of anywhere from 5 to 6 story, you have an opportunity to introduce a mix use within that particular area versus as you go further closer to the single family where the maximum height that has been recommended by the study was 15 feet which pretty much says you either doing a 2 story townhome or 2 story duplex. Based on that study and based on the information that we were able to ascertain it made the best sense to us that the opportunity for mix use pretty much occur within the area that are already covered by the mix use and about 40% of the lands that are in the barracks area are subject to the mix use overlay which is in existence now. So because we thought it would be a little bit premature to have the entire area designated as mix use. It is our recommendation that the mix use overlay as it exist right now remain as it is and it's primary in between fishermen and Ali-baba. That in essence address all of the concerns that were brought forward in relationship to the Comp Plan I think we pretty address what was something that could be address by the comp plan vs. something that will be address by the land development Regulation and we will be presenting that particular document before you probably within the next 30 to 45 days. So that you can see where that's much more applicable. That concludes my presentation. Chairman Russell: Thank you Mr. Gay. Any one has any question? No question. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 35 of 43 Member Rodriguez: No question, I just have something to say and I want this on record. Regarding the amendments those three amendments a Planning Council was the one who presented them and it should have been OLCDC that should have come and presented it. We have to understand that the Planning Council is a quasi judicial board. I don't think it's right for a Councilman to speak on behalf of another company, I think it's illegal that should not have happened. I don't think it's legal that's how I feel. I was ready to vote for the comp plan and then when these three amendments were presented and I discovered that this councilman works for the OLCDC and he is up here presenting those things and I think this is not right. OLCDC I have nothing against you, and I know that you have done a lot of good things for the city but things have to be done the right way. I think that's illegal and somebody should look into that because a member of the board should not be representing another entity to me it's a big deal I don't think that should have been done that way. Member Barnes: Can I reply? Am I allowed to respond Mr. Chairman? Chairman Russell: Sure. Member Barnes: Just a clarification so that everybody on this board knows. I am not contractually employed by the OLCDC on the record name Germane Barnes Councilman appointed by Commissioner Pinder is not contractually employed by the OLCDC. So slandering and saying that is false, so I just want that on the record thank you. Chairman Russell: Ok, we are not going back in forth you both said what you had to say, let's move forward with the agenda that we have ahead. At this time do we have anymore question for Mr. Gay if not public hearing is open. I'm only going to allow 3 minutes no more than 5 minutes. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 36 of 43 Mr. Cambric: (OLCDC Consultant) good evening Mr. Chairman and Councilmen I would brief. So very quickly, Mr. Gay did outline for the three areas that has been a concerns for the OLCDC in a nutshell, the corridor mix use, The Barracks and the magnolia gardens area to have the ability to do single family detached homes. There are still concerns some of the concerns we are at the cost of adopting a plan that change how the community functions. You should take every opportunity while you do it to put forth the best comprehensive plan instead of delaying action or using other techniques instead of using the plan itself. Very quickly in terms of the corridor mix use areas; first and for most under Florida law until you take action in the comprehensive plan there is no legal development right. Right now if I live or own any properties within the corridor mix use overlay area and gotten an approval last year that the zoning code allowed regarding a mix use development. The comp plan doesn't allow it and you cannot under Florida law put a zoning code before the authorization of the comprehensive plan. Additionally if there is a concern about Bert Harris, the last iteration of the comp plan in the mix use you were doing 150 dwelling unit per acre for residential that amount of density has been reduced in this version. So you do have latitude to make adjustments there. I think what you are doing unfortunately you want to redevelop your downtown, you want to redevelop magnolia north but you creating such an intense amount of completion by making mix use almost three quarter of the City and also you haven't done any compatibility test. Cuyahoga has not yet been redeveloped. You try to preserve the single family use you put where there is 36 dwelling unit per acre plus commercial or office and so the initial study said that the limited area which is Opa- locka blvd, from city hall to 27 avenue, 27th avenue from Opa-locka blvd to Sharazad, and then Ali-baba from sesame and then west of on 27`h, don't over allocate. You put the cart before the Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 37 of 43 horse. You can't take it back once you do it. But if you start up with target redevelopment then you can go forward. Our recommendation as an amendment at this time if you get ready to move the comp plan; is that you make the change to reduce the Corridor mix use area down to those recommended amendments presented by the OLCDC, magnolia gardens area; the comp plan specifically says low density residential shall be limited to single family detached unit. You can't fix that in zoning by coming back later and saying g that I write a zoning code that in conflicts with the comp plan to allow for single family attached. Fix the comp plan right now; two words add a category addressing the magnolia gardens low density single family that starts the area where you wanted to change. It's one quick change and it solved the problem also allows you to see how that functions throughout other areas of the city. The Barracks; what you have done there instead of a uniform development plan you have three area of redeployment instead of treating all property owners uniformly now you get treated differently one plan of development is the proposed, thank you. Chairman Russell: Thank you sir, public hearing still open 3 minutes. Dante Starks: The Barracks if you look at the Barracks and you look at Miami Lakes the opportunity when you're talking about mix use. You can because that's a gateway coming in on the west side of Opa-locka. That's my position on the mix use you can carve that out. Downtown can't sustain itself without the use type coming in and that's going to pulled them in. on the very east side where you talked about magnolia gardens specifically we have to carved out an area that is very depressed that's a very depressed area. Even with what they talking about Cuyahoga if you're going to build that up if you see that those are very large lot with just those small homes there you'll never pull in new people. There is more senior living so if going to pull in that area Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 38 of 43 to build it up if you going to other part of the County the lots are big enough to put single family attached unit. Just the area across from the magnolia north area south of state road 9 to Ingram park and watch that blossom with the lake front and all of the amenities from the east side. Not the rest of Opa-locka but if you do just that section. If you send it up without it then you have to go the Commission and go to the process for every lot and when people find out they have to go to a lengthy process for zoning instead of coming in and be able to build quicker that's when they go to Miami Gardens, and elsewhere as they allowing the new attached homes more affordable for young people to come in and get homeownership, thank you. Chairman Russell: Thank you, public hearing still open. Public hearing close. With our 20/30 Comprehensive Development Master Plan, there has been a lot of effort added, this board has been very active along with community development conducting workshops just to come to an agreement in order to move this comp plan for the City forward that's important and also we had asked that the two parties to come together and talk things out and that opportunity has been given. I'm not speaking for everyone else; we have to move the city forward. As we move the city forward things goes to the Commission and whatever else and zoning that's going to be done we make sure to continue to work together in unity to make sure it's getting done. There we can't keep holding the process because we can't come to a total agreement on everything. So I think you for your effort or what have you, so at this time the comp plan as bee presented to us at least three time and we already know what it is before us. If there is no other question we need a motion to send this 20/30 Comprehensive Development Master Plan forward or denied. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 39 of 43 Member Guerrero: I give a motion to move it forward as it stand; I'm confused about one thing. During the last meeting Mr. Barnes presented some amendments then we tabled it, does that motion still stand or. Chairman Russell: That motion was withdrawn. Mr. Gay: can we get some clarification from the attorney. Attorney Brown: the Motion was withdrawn so that motion is not on the floor any more. Mr. Gay: recommended against those amendments. Chairman Russell: therefore what is before us tonight is the original 20/30 Comprehensive Development Master Plan. Member Guerrero: I motion to approve that. Member Rodriguez: I second it. Chairman Russell: Can we have roll call. Upon Roll Call, motion pass 4-1 Rose Tydus - Yes Oria Rodriguez - Yes Germane Barnes - No Elio Guerrero - Yes Calvin Russell - Yes Chairman Russell: Any other business by staff or update, I hope you are not keeping us for long. Planning Council Minutes 05/05/2015 Page 40 of 43 Mr. Gay: There is no other business but I do have some news it's my understanding that one of our board member is going to be leaving us. Ms. Oria Rodriguez is going to be taking new residency up Central Florida, I guess she will be part of a new Planning Council Board and I believe this is her last Planning Council Meeting in the City of Opa-locka so I would like to say thank you for the services you've provided to the city not just as a board member on the Planning Council but also as a former employee of the city of Opa-locka. A lot of great things that have been done under your stewardship and leadership. Therefore we thank you for all that you have given this great City, we appreciate it. Member Rodriguez: It has been great pleasure for me to serve the city, I love the city. I sure hate to leave but life goes on we have to move on because our family and kids are up in Central Florida we've decided to go up there now but I'm taking the city with me in my heart and I thank everybody that has been so good to me all these years. I've worked for the city for 30 years and was very happy during that whole time. Thank you all. Chairman Russell: I mostly thankful for all that you've given me on how to conduct the meetings and I'm still trying to learn and wish you and your family well and just don't forget us. Member Rodriguez: No I will never forget. I'm always online checking on Opa-locka.

The City Code requires that all storage yards for "materia or company vehicles" be surrounded by a masonry wall of at least six (6) feet height. The Applicant proposes to replace the wall with a combination of fenc hedges, and retaining wall. We think that this alternative provides sever, benefits over a wall. First, it provides an opportunity for greater buffering of ti proposed use when the proposed hedges grow above the fence. Secon( replacing a wall with a fence and hedge will markedly reduce the possibility c graffiti. The Property is surrounded on three sides by railroad tracks and spun which are essentially open to the public. Locating a wall along these tracks wi only invite vandalism on the railroad side. Even with the utmost diligence on th part of the Applicant, it is all but certain that a wall would become a graffi target. The fence and hedge will provide the City with the buffering that th Code requires without the negative implications inherent in a wall located alon a railroad line. We therefore believe that public policy supports the grant of variance here. You will also note that the Property is surrounded exclusively by simila industrial and utility uses. There is essentially no chance, therefore, that the use of a fence and hedge instead of a wall would create issues for adjacent parcels. Conclusion. We look forward to your review and recommendation on ou applications. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this letter, pleas( do not hesitate to phone my direct line at (305) 377-6229 or send me an email a gpenn @brzoninglaw.com.

Please consider this letter the Applicants letter of intent supporting applications seeking an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan, site plan approval, the acceptance of a development agreement, and a minor variance approval. The Property. The Property is approximately 8.40 net acres in size and has been assigned tax folio numbers 08-2129-0180-0010 and 30-2129-0180-0010 by the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser. The vast majority of the Property is located in the City, with a small sliver of the Property remaining in unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The Property consists of Tract A of the Tenth Addition to Seaboard Industrial Park," recorded at Plat Book 158, Page 44 of the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The property is unique in the City in that it is surrounded on three sides by railway lines and spurs. To the south of the Property is additional industrial land. The Property is located in an area of the City (and adjacent Miami-Dade County) that is exclusively industrial in character. Gregory Gay Director Planning&Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 2 of 12 City Zoning. The Opa-locka portion of the Property is zoned I-2 or "Liberal Industrial" under the terms of the City Code. As its name implies, the Liberal Industrial zoning designation permits a wide range of the more intense industrial uses, including multiple "open lot" uses, such as rock pits and cement manufacturing uses. The I-2 zone also permits all of the uses allowed in the City's I-1 zoning district, which permits motor garages and transportation terminals. The Property is designated for "Utility" use under the terms of the City's Comprehensive Plan, which is generally applied to land owned by railroads, public utilities, and other similar uses. The Property was formally owned by a railroad company, which is likely the reason that it was assigned a Utility designation. As noted on the recorded plat for the Property, the southern seventy (70) feet of the Property is encumbered by an access easement that ensures continued access to the public roads for both the Property and the adjacent land to the south, which is under separate ownership. Proposed Development. As you may know, Academy Bus is the largest privately owned and operated transportation company in the country, providing charter bus services all over the east coast. With approximately 650 buses in its fleet, the Applicant provides a wide range of private transportation services. The Applicant prides itself on a level of service and on its well-maintained, modern equipment. The Applicant proposes to utilize the Property as its central base of operations for South Florida. The proposed use will include a 6,000 square foot office building, employee parking, a 12,400 square foot bus garage, and 150 open bus parking spaces. The bus parking and garage portions of the development will be located along the north, surrounded by railroad right of way. The bus parking and garage areas are proposed to be enclosed by a chainlink fence and gate. That fence will be supplemented with a continuous hedge composed of small leaf clusia, a Florida native species. The use of a native plant for the hedging will help ensure that the hedge remains healthy for decades to come. Overall, the landscape plan includes more native species that Gregory Gay Director Planning&Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 3 of 12 the code requires, with over eighty (80) percent of the proposed shrubs being native. The office use will be located on the southern portion of the Property. The bus storage and office uses are proposed to have separate entrances. That will limit any potential for negative interactions between passenger vehicles and buses. Application Requests. In order to realize the proposed development plan, the Applicant has filed four separate applications, requesting the following: 1. An amendment to the City's Future Land Use Map to redesignate the Property from"Utility" to"Industrial." 2. An ordinance amendment pursuant to Section 4.10 in order to allow for gasoline pumps to service vehicles used in connection with the business located on an individual lot. 3. Final site plan approval for the proposed development. 4. The acceptance of a development agreement. 5. A variance to waive the requirement to surround the bus storage area with a wall in order to utilize a fence and hedge instead. The following narrative will explain each request in additional detail and address the relevant code standards. Future Land Use Map Amendment. As explained above, the Property is designated for "Utility" use under the City's comprehensive plan. The Utility designation is set aside for land owned by public and private utilities, such as power companies, railroads, etc. While Academy does serve the transportation needs of thousands of South Florida residents, it is not a utility. It is therefore appropriate for the Property to be designated for industrial use, the same designation that exists to both the north and east. As you know, a major Goal of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to maximize the potential for economic development within the City. Retaining the Gregory Gay Director Planning & Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 4 of 12 existing "Utility" designation on the Property, when the parcel is no longer needed for utility use or under the ownership of a utility, will only retard the future economic development of this portion of the City. The proposed development, in contrast, will help encourage the expansion and improvement of new industrial and commercial uses. Ordinance Amendment. The Property is located in the I-2 zone, which is the City's most intense non-automotive related industrial district. Among the uses permitted in the I-2 zone are concrete and cement manufacturing, petroleum and liquified petroleum gas storage, saw mills, and steel manufacturing. As a transportation operation, the proposed use of the Property will require the fueling of coaches on a daily basis. We understand that the City's pending Code rewrite intends to include fueling stations serving the main use of a site as an accessory use in the I-2 zone. Because the rewrite is still several months away from moving forward, the Applicant is hereby seeking a ordinance amendment to section 6.11(B) to provide as follows: B. Permitted Uses. 11. Accessory gasoline pumps to service vehicles used in connection with the business located on an individual lot. The pumps shall not serve the general public. Allowing intense industrial operations to fuel their vehicles on site will reduce the impact of such uses on the surrounding area. In the case of the Applicant, it will be able to fuel its coaches before they exit the Property, limiting the need for extra vehicle trips to off site locations. In sum, the requested amendment will create a clear public benefit in reducing the number of trips needed for large commercial vehicles on the streets of the City. Site Plan Approval. As explained above, the Applicant proposes to develop the Property with a use that incorporates office space as well as bus repair and storage. The submitted plans meet, or exceed, all of the relevant code requirements and will far exceed the quality of similar developments in this area of the City. The following will include a discussion of the relevant site plan review standards and the compliance of the proposed development with each criterion. Gregory Gay Director Planning&Community Development Department March 27,2015 Page 5 of 12 1. Natural Environment All proposed development shall be designed in such a manner as to preserve, perpetuate and improve the existing natural character of the site. Existing trees and other landscape features shall, to the maximum extent possible, be preserved in their natural state and additional landscape features shall be provided to enhance architectural features, to relate structural design to the site, and to conceal unattractive uses. As explained above, the proposed plan includes a first rate landscape plan that meets and exceeds the code requirements. The vast majority of the trees and shurbs now on the Property are Australian Pines and Brazilian Pepper, both noxious invasive species. While the proposed design does propose the removal of two sabal palmettos, the plan proposes the planting ninety-three (93) new trees, eighty (80) percent of which will be native species. The plan also proposes the installation of more than 3,000 shrubs and ground cover plants. 2. Open Space Adequate landscaped open space shall be provided which meets the particular needs and demands of the proposed development, the comprehensive plan and specific zoning district requirements. Legal methods assuring the continued preservation and maintenance of required open space shall be submitted to and approved by the city. The type and distribution of all open space shall be determined by the character, intensity, and anticipated residential or user composition of the proposed development. a. Passive open spaces (those areas not planned for intensive activity) shall be arranged as to enhance internal spatial relationships between proposed structures, to provide buffers between the project and adjacent less intensive uses, to facilitate pedestrian movements within the development, and to improve the overall visual quality of the site. The proposed development plan focuses its landscape design on buffering adjacent land from the impact of the project. The entire perimeter of the storage area will be beuffering by a sodded stormater retention area, fence and continuous native hedge. Gregory Gay Director Planning & Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 6of12 3. Circulation and Parking All circulation systems and parking facilities related to a proposed development shall be designed and located in such a manner as to comply with the following: a. A clearly defined vehicular circulation system shall be provided which allows free movement within the proposed development while discouraging excessive speeds. Said system shall be separated insofar as practical from pedestrian circulation systems. Pavement widths and access points to peripheral streets shall be provided which adequately serve the proposed development and which are compatible and function with circulation systems outside the development. The circulation system within the proposed development has been designed to limit negative interactions between buses and passenger vehcicles and to limit pedestrian/vehicular interactions. The plan has been engineered to meet all required standards, which is demonstrated on the submitted Vehicular Circulation Plan. b. A traffic impact statement shall be provided which states current average daily and peak hour traffic volume counts, a description of existing traffic conditions, programmed and planned roadway improvements, and future traffic conditions within and without the project. Prepared roadway improvements and the associated costs shall be provided. The Applicant has provided the required traffic impact statement, showing that the proposed development is consistent with the City's standards. No roadway improvements will be required. c. Whenever possible in proposed residential developments, living units should be located on residential streets or courts which are designed to discourage non-local through traffic. This standard is not applicable to the proposed development. Gregory Gay Director Planning&Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 7 of 12 d. Off-street parking areas shall be provided which adequately accommodate maximum vehicle storage demands for the proposed project and be located and designed in such a manner so as to not create any incompatible visual relationship. As noted above, the proposed development includes a dedicated parking area to serve the uses within the Property. The lot includes 154 parking spaces, where the City Code requires just twenty-seven (27). This will allow the Applicant to serve its operational needs. e. Safe and efficient access to all areas of the proposed development shall be provided for emergency and service vehicles. As shown on the Vehicular Circulation Plan, access is provided for the largest expected vehicles, which will likely exceed the size of any emergency or service vehcicles. f. Sidewalks shall be provided as required by the city's codes and ordinances. Modifications and/or exceptions to sidewalk requirements may be granted by the appropriate board when efficient pedestrian circulation throughout the proposed development is provided by means of adequately lighted and designed pedestrian paths and is open to the general public for use. There are no portions of the Property that immediately abut a public road, so no sidewalks are required along the front of the site. 4. Community Services and Utilities All proposed developments shall be designed and located in such a manner as to insure the adequate provision, use and compatibility of necessary community services and utilities. a. An adequate sanitary sewer collection system, including all necessary extensions and connections, shall be provided in accordance with city standards for location and design. Sanitary sewage treatment and disposal systems must be provided in accordance with city, county and state standards and regulations. Gregory Gay Director Planning &Community Development Department March 27, 2015 Page 8 of 12 The proposed plan is consistent with all of the relevant sanitary sewer requirements. b.

PUBLIC HEARINGS APPLICANT NAME: DAVID LEHMKUHL C/O ACADEMY BUS 1 l 1 PATERSON AVENUE, HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY 07030 REQUEST: CONSIDER APPROVAL FOR FENCE VARIANCE. FOR THE PROPOSED OFFICE BLDG EMPLOYEE PARKING, BUS GARAGE/MAINTENANCE, AND OPEN BUS PARKING SPACES (PARKING LOT) FOR THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PROPERTY. Mr. Penn: Hello Everyone. My Address is 200 South Biscayne Blvd. I represent the Applicant. We're here for a very simple request. On a property that is situated. Here we are on a property that is 8.4 acres in size, surrounded on both sides by railroads. We are on the very edge of the county. This property is originally owned by CXX. We have industrial uses; other distribution centers lots of large industrial uses. No residential developments are near us. This parcel has been empty for many years. Academy Bus plans to build a state of the art brand new bus depot. Academy Bus is the nation premiere private bus company. They are always in great shape, well maintained, and clean. We are excited to bring this facility to the city to allow it to keep operating. This facility will be the center of Academy business for all 3 � Pa Mites South Florida. The two property line along the railroad is about a half a mile long. The entrance is on 123rd Street. In the back separated is the bus garage which includes a washing area, and a fuel station. There are 150 spaces in the back and154 spaces in the front for the employees. Just a reminder we are surrounded by Industrial. The design of the building is very simple modern design. We are placing top class landscape plan on this property. We are removing all exotic species. We are planting 144 trees and 93% of those will be native species. The trees will go in nice and they will stay nice. We will also be planting more than 3500 shrubs and ground cover plants. We are proposing to surround the property with a continuous hedge and fence all the way around. We want to properly secure it. It's not like we have private property next to us. We are asking to vary is the requirement you have in a situation where we have to have a wall. We would like to replace that requirement with a hedge and a fence. For a couple of reasons: We have no controlling of what's next to us. We have open railroad right away. Based on our plan this is what we are proposing. The red tip coco plums are very nice. They are nice and clean looking. This will end my presentation; we are here for any questions at this time. Attorney: For the record, Announce that the Public Hearing is open. Chairwoman: At this time the public hearing is open on the variance. Anyone can come forward to speak on this issue. Anyone who is for or against, please come forward at this time. Since we have no one from the public at this time the Public Hearing is closed. 4 I ' e Attorney: Ask your Staff if they want to give a brief report on this variance. Chairwoman: At this time does Staff have a brief report to give on this variance: Mr. Ledger: We have a quick presentation. I'll highlight some differences in this presentation. The Applicant is Academy Bus and they are here for a fence variance to consider approval for a fence variance for the proposed office building employee parking bus garage/maintenance, and open bus parking spaces (parking lot) for the above mentioned property. According to the City regulation all storage yards for materials to completely screen from offsite view by block walls. They are asking to do differently with a chain-link fence. This site is located within the City of Opa-locka and the unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The yellow highlights portions within the City and the red highlights portion within the county. When you include both portions it is 8.4 acres. There is no existing structure on the site. The zoning is (I-2) which is our liberal industrial. The proposed project is permitted within (I-2). The Building is a three story office building which is 2,000 square feet and each floor for a total of 6,000 square feet. The bus garage/maintenance is 12,400 square feet. The site is adjacent to railroads. There is a rundown fence on the property. Where the fence has been proposed is highlighted in red. The City Land Development Regulation 86-8 Section 4.14 B (4) provides that in order to authorize any variance the Zoning Board of Appeals must and shall find: 5 IPdre MinuteS That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, person, or building involved, and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or building in the same zoning district "No". That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant "No". That Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by the Zoning Code to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district "Yes". That literal interpretation of the provisions of the code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the code and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant "No". The Staff recommends denial of this variance request because it does not meet the criteria listed in section 4.14 B of the LDC. This will conclude our presentation. Chairwoman: Thank you. Attorney: You may ask the staff or applicant a question if you have any, then you will need to make a motion to approve or deny staff recommendations. Board Member Cruz: How high is the chain link fence? Mr. Penn: It is 6 feet high. 6 � , MinuteS Board Member Cruz: How many gates? Mr. Penn: There are two gates. The staff is supportive of this project. I just wanted to let you know. They are constrained of how the code works. Board Member Cruz: Are you going to have an underground tank? What about the fuel tank area? Mr. Penn: The idea is that the fueling would be like any other gas station. There is no other way to get to the fuel area. There is only one location. It is behind the building next to the wash station. Board Member Cruz: Will there be a fence around the fuel area? Mr. Penn: There will not be a fence around the fuel area. Everything else is underground. You have the security of the gate around the property. Board Member Davis: Is there a proposed Developer's Agreement in place and has it been approved or not. Mr. Penn: Yes, but it won't be adopted until it goes before the Commission. 7IE . . lin lel Board Member Cruz: How many gallons in the tank? Mr. Carr: It will be a 12,000 gallon tank. Attorney: What's before you tonight. The presentation talked about a number of aspects. The only decision before this body for tonight is whether or not if you are going to approve or deny their request for a variance to put up what they have proposed. Mr. Gay: We are in the process of updating our zoning code. You will be receiving phone calls and invited to community meetings as well to analyze the new zoning code. Chairwoman: Any other questions at this time? If there are not any further questions we will need a motion to approve or deny the variance. Board Member Davis: I motion to approve. Board Member Cruz: I second. 8IP p 010 Upon roll call, the item passed 3-0. Ferdinand Cruz - Yes Chris Davis - Yes Dawn Mangham - Yes V. OTHER BUSINESS: NO OTHER BUSINESS VI.
