DID WE RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? >> NO, SIR. >> THEN WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION. UM -- MR. ADAMS, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A SHORT REPORT ON THIS? >> YES, I'LL BE GLAD TO. UM, THIS ITEM IS FOR THE WHAT'S BEING CALLED THE DEPTH OF REUSE ART'S DISTRICT. LOCATED ADJACENT TO CITY HALL OR JUST TO THE NORTH OF DOWNTOWN DORAL. UM, THIS AREA IS BEING PROPOSED TO ALLOW, UM, ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY AND INCENTIVES TO CREATE IN ARTS AND CULTURAL CRAFTS AREA, THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE BE PROMOTING THE ADAPTIVE REUSE ELEMENT IN THAT AREA SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE'RE GOING TO PROMOTE KEEPING THE EXISTING BUILDINGS MORE THAN KNOCKING THEM DOWN ON OUR BUILDING NEW. TO THINK THAT NUMBER ONE, THE EXISTING BUILDINGS ALLOWS FOR SMALLER USES THEY ALLOW FOR MORE LOCAL USES RATHER THAN NATIONAL RETAILERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT COMING IN. UM, WHAT THIS DOES IN THIS CASE IS IT'S ALLOWING ADDITIONAL USES BEYOND WHAT'S TYPICALLY ALLOWED AND CAN WE TAKE A STEP BACK FOR JUST THE FOUR ITEMS ON THE AGENDA ALL WORK TOGETHER SO TWO OF THEM ARE COMPLAIN RELATED, AND TWO OF THEM ARE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE RELATED. THERE'S A MAP ELEMENT [INAUDIBLE]. I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS RECOMMENDATION ONE TIME, BUT IT WILL BE FOR THE NEXT -- THIS ITEM AS WELL AS THE NEXT THREE ITEMS, JUST CLARIFICATION THERE. UM -- SO WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND WE HAD PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THIS FOR WELL OVER A YEAR, MAYBE, SEVERAL YEARS, IT'S FINALLY COMING TO FRUITION NOW. WE HAD STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS, AND PUBLIC MEETINGS, AND THERE'S A MASTER PLAN THAT WE RECENTLY WORKED ON. THE MASTER PLAN WAS BROUGHT TO THE CITY COUNCIL, AND FROM THAT MASTER PLAN WE'RE CREATING NOW THESE REGULATIONS WHICH ARE TO IMPLEMENT THE MASTER PLAN ESSENTIALLY. AND WE ALSO STATE IN THIS ORDINANCE THAT WE'RE REFERENCING THE MASTER PLAN, SO, ONE OF THE BIG CHANGES -- THE REAL CHANGE IN THE MASTER PLAN, FROM WHAT YOU HEARD THIS THE LAST SIX MONTHS, IS THAT WE HAVE REMOVED ANY REFERENCE TO OVER NIGHT STAYS OF ANY TYPE AND ANY REFERENCE TO RESIDENTIAL ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS THERE WAS BY EXISTING BUSINESSES THAT OPERATE AT NIGHT, THERE ARE STILL INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES, THERE'S A LOT OF JOBS THAT STILL, YOU KNOW, ARE LOCATED IN THIS AREA, AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE PUSHING OUT EXISTING BUSINESSES. SO THIS IS NOT TRYING TO GENTRIFY. TO MAY CONTINUE TO OPERATE INTO THE FUTURE. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THAT PORTION. WHAT THIS DOES IS ALLOWING ADDITIONAL USES, THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT WITHIN THE CITY. THESE WILL ONLY BE APPLICABLE TO THIS GEOGRAPHIC AREA, UM, SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY A LOT OF SPORTS FITNESS, DANCE, YOGA IN INDOOR SOCCER, WHICH TOOK AWAY THESE SPORTS, IN ALL AREAS FOR INDUSTRIAL IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA WE WOULD BE ALLOWING THIS. SO IF THERE'S A GYM OR SOMETHING LIKE KARATE STUDIO, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WANT TO SEE EXPAND, THEY CAN NOW COME INTO THIS AREA. BARS AND RESTAURANTS WILL BE ALLOWED, ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS, AND RETAIL SERVICES, AND RETAIL AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PARKING GARAGES. UM, THE ITEMS THAT ARE GRANDFATHERED INCLUDE ALL MANUFACTURING OUTDOOR STORAGE, VEHICLE REPAIR AND THOSE TYPES OF USES THAT EXIST. PROHIBITED WOULD BE ALL RESIDENTIAL HOTELS AND OVER NIGHT LODGING. ALL PRE K TO 12 SCHOOLS, SO ANY SCHOOL OR UNIVERSITY NOT ASSOCIATED WITH AN ART'S OR CRAFTS RELATED OR A TRADE SO THAT CAN INCLUDE ANYTHING FROM METAL WORKING GLASS BLOWING, IT CAN INCLUDE A BALLET SCHOOL OR A DANCE SCHOOL, ARTISTS CLASSES WILL BE ALLOWED BUT YOUR TYPICAL K THROUGH 12 YOUR UNIVERSITIES WILL NOT. WE THINK THEY ARE BETTER SITUATED -- WE DON'T -- >> EXCUSE ME, MR. MAYOR, CAN I INTERRUPT REAL QUICK. YOU JUST SAID, ALL K THROUGH 12. HERE IT SAYS, PRE CHANGE, IF I'M NOT WRONG, THERE'S AT LEAST ONE DAYCARE IN THAT AREA CURRENTLY ALREADY. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S K THROUGH 12 OR PRE K WILL BE ALLOWED OR GRANDFATHERED IN. >> ANYTHING THAT'S THERE IS GRANDFATHERED IN. WE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY ADDITIONAL, UM, PRE K, AFTER SCHOOL CARE. NURSING CARE. ADULT CARE OR ANY -- >> DAYCARE, LIKE A TWO OR THREE-YEAR-OLD? >> NO, ADDITIONAL ONES IN THE FUTURE. YOU EVERYBODY A LOT OF FORKLIFTS, AND A LOT OF MOVING VEHICLES, WE'RE NOT REQUIRING BUFFER YARDS ANYMORE, OR THINGS LIKE THAT. SO FOR KID CANS HAVE HAVE AN OUTDOOR AREA, IT DOESN'T MIX WITH WHAT'S THERE NOW. >> (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT THEM NEXT TO BARS AND RESTAURANTS IN THE FUTURE. SO THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF OUR CODE. >> FOR THE EXCEPTION OF TRADE OR ARTS, SCHOOL. SO AN ART'S SCHOOL WHO HAD AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM. >> IF IT'S AN ARTS RELATED, YES. >> SO THE OTHER ITEM. >> IT MENTIONS ALSO PROHIBITED INDOOR, ASSEMBLY FOR OVER ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE, SO THE RESTAURANTS WOULD BE MAXIMUM CAPACITY THE OF ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE? >> NOT FOR THE RESTAURANT, BUT IF YOU HAD A GALLERY NIGHT OR YOU HAD A SPECIAL EVENT FOR -- OR YOU HAD A BOOK SIGNING IN YOUR RESTAURANT OR YOU HAD SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT'S A GATHERING, THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LIMITING TO ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE. NOW WESTBOUND, THAT YOU HAVE IN THE EXISTING CODE, THE RIGHT FOR A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT. SO IF FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S LET'S SAY FOR AN EXAMPLE DOOR CAM, AND THEY WANT TO HAVE AN ART -- AND IT'S OVER ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE. THAT KIND OF EVENT, CAN GO THROUGH A SPECIAL EVENT PROCESS, AND BE ALLOWED THROUGH THAT PROCESS. >> SO YOU'RE SAYING PLACES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BEGIN WITH WITH AN OPEN AREA, LEEK A GYM CATEGORY? I WOULD IMAGINE. >> THIS WOULD BE MORE -- THE CLOSEST THAT I CAN THINK OF WOULD BE HALL FOR HIRE IN OUR CODE, WHERE YOU HAVE A WEDDING IN A COURTYARD, OR JUST A HIGHWAY WHERE YOU CAN HAVE GRADUATION PARTIES, OR BIRTHDAY PARTIES. IF A QUOTE GYM OR SOMETHING WOULD HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY, IT WOULD FALL UNDER THIS. BUT THIS IS NOT GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRIMARY USE. OR THE RESTAURANT. >> OBVIOUSLY OUR CODE WILL BE SPECIFIC IN DETAILING THIS? IF IT'S NOT -- >> THERE'S ALWAYS A DISCUSSION IF OUR CODE IS PERMISSIVE. IF IT'S NOT EXCLUDED, WILL IT BE ALLOWED OR IF NOT, DETAIL EVERY SCENARIO. WHICH DIRECTION ARE WE GOING WITH THIS? >> SO OUR CODE IS PERMISSIVE IN A SENSE OF, IF WE DO NOT -- IF WE DO NOT DESCRIBE IT SPECIFICALLY THEN IT IS NOT ALLOWED. WHAT I WOULD SAY IN THIS CASE, IS THAT ALL OF THE UNDERLINING ZONING CAN GOES, AND ALL OF THE OTHER LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ITEMS THAT WOULD APPLY STILL DO APPLY FOR AN OVERLAY DIRECT. THIS IS AN OVERLAY THAT EXISTS IN THE EXISTING LAND USE P ITEMS THAT CAME UP BEFORE SUCH AS THE NOISE, THE EXISTING CITY OF DORAL NOISE ORDINANCE WHICH STILL WILL BE IN EFFECT IN THIS DISTRICT. THAT'S ONE EXAMPLE OF, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT IN THE GENERAL CODE WOULD STILL BE UNDER -- IN EFFECT IN THIS DISTRICT. THE OTHER ITEM IS PARKING. I WANT TO DESCRIBE, I FAUX THAT YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THE POWER POINT, THE POWER POINT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE. I WANT TO DESCRIBE A LITTLE BIT BETTER HOW THE PARKING WORKS. SO TODAY IN OUR EXISTING CODE WE HAVE ONE SET OF PARKING STANDARDS, WHICH IS THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT CODE STANDARDS. WE'RE MAYBE GO IT ONE SPACE PER FOUR HUNDRED FEET, IN ORDER TO INCENTIVIZE THE ADAPTIVE REUSE, WE WANT TO REUSE THE EXISTING BUILDINGS, THEN WE'RE GIVING IT AN ADDITIONAL 20 PERCENT ON TOP OF THE REDUCED AMOUNT. SO THAT PERSONAL THAT YOU SEE IN THE LAST COLUMN IS ADDITIONAL TO WHAT WAS ALREADY IN GENERAL FOR THIS OVERLAY DISTRICT WHICH IS A REDUCTION FROM THE ORIGINAL CODE. WE ALSO LOOKED AT OTHER USES, AT 70 PERCENT. WE LOOKED AT OTHER AREAS IN THE DORAL DESIGN DISTRICT FOR EXAMPLE. IT SPECIFIES THAT IN THE DISTRICT CORE WE MUST MEET 70 PERCENT OF THE EXISTING CODE REQUIRE THE. SO ANYTHING THAT'S NOT SPECIFICALLY OUT LIENED HERE, WE PUT AS OTHER USES, AND WE MATCHED THE SAME AS THE UM, THE UM, DORAL DESIGN DISTRICT. SO WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE TOO MANY DIFFERENTIATIONS AROUND THE CODE. THE OTHER ITEM -- >> (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> CAN YOU HOLD ON A SECOND ON PARKING. >> OKAY. >> SO PARKING HAS BEEN ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS WITH THE AREA. EYE LOVE THE CONCEPT, AND I'M IN SUPPORT OF IT. BUT THE PEOPLE THAT CAME TO TALK TO US ONE TIME, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DESIGN DISTRICT, THAT MADE ME -- THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HAVING BUILT THEIR FIRST PARKING GARAGE AFTER A LONG TIME. THEY ARE ASSUMING TO USE -- I'M NOT SURE THAT DORAL WILL FOLLOW, AND OBVIOUSLY PARKING CAN BECOME A PROBLEM. AND WE HAVE A NEARBY CITY HALL PARKING, AND YOU KNOW, A PARKING THAT THE TABLE IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM CITY HALL. THOSE ARE FREE, AND MAYBE, OUR CHARLIE SERVICE, ARE WE INTEGRATING THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF PARKING SOLUTIONS INTO THE KIND OF STRATEGY AS WE APPROACH THIS. OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT NOW. THERE'S A PART THAT TALKS ABOUT THE PARKING RELIEF FOR ADAPTIVE RELEASE PROJECTS, USING THE PARKING LOTS AND SO ON. AND I'M SURE THAT THE TROLLEY WILL BE A GOOD HELP TO CIRCULATE AT NIGHT. ARE WE LOOKING AT, UM, DO WE HAVE A STRATEGY IN PLAN? WHAT THE PRIVATE SECTORS WILL DO IF IT'S A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. BESIDES THE PARKING RELEASE IN THE PRESENTATION, WHAT ELSE IS DISCUSSED? ANYTHING ELSE? >> SO THE MAIN ITEM THAT I WOULD BRING UP IS THAT PUBLIC WORKS IS CURRENTLY DOING THE PUBLIC STUDY FOR THE ENTIRE STUDY. IT LOOKS AT WHERE THEY CAN CREATE THE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES. I KNOW THAT IN PARTICULAR, THEY ARE BEING LOOKED AT WITH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY FOR DRAINAGE. THAT SHOULD GIVE A COUPLE OF PARKING SPACES IN THE CORRIDOR NOW, AND THERE'S NO DRAINAGE OR SIDEWALK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S THE FIRST STEP, AND WE ALSO HAVE PLACED IN THIS ORDINANCE A RESERVATION SECTION. SO IF WE WANTED TO HAVE A FEE WHERE HE CAN BUILD THE GARAGE LATER ON. WE CAN DO THAT, BUT THAT WOULD BE COMING OUT OF THE PUBLIC WORKS STUDIES, AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN SUGGEST WITH THE CONSULTANT HOW TO SET UP THE PARKING ORGANIZATION AND WHO'S GOING TO RUN IT, AND WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO PUT PARKING AND UM -- ANYTHING LIKE THAT. >> HOW ABOUT A PARKING IMPACT FEE FOR A NEW DEVELOPMENT. HAS THAT BEEN EVALUATED? >> YOU COULD DO THAT. BUT THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT THROUGH THE PUBLIC WORKS STUDY. >> OKAY. >> WITH THE PARKING AND LOADING FOR THE CITY. >> OKAY. >> I CAN FIND OUT WHEN THAT STUDY WILL BE COMPLETED OR WHEN THEY WILL HAVE SOME DATA. OBVIOUSLY AS YOU KNOW, THIS WILL GO TO THE STATE AS REVIEW. AND DEPENDING ON THE EARLY DISCUSSIONS TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A JULY PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING. IT'S POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS BACK FROM THE STATE IN JULY, SO WE CAN HAVE A SECOND ANSWER BY THEN. IF NOT, THIS ITEM WILL COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER. IF NOT -- SO -- >> I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND BRING THIS UP -- OTHERWISE, I'LL FORGET. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ARE CONSIDERED INCENTIVES FOR. THE PEOPLE WHO ALLOCATE FOR PASTURES. IF YOU GET TO PARK SOMEONE, OR YOU GO AROUND THE BLOCK -- I DON'T KNOW AT WHAT POINT IN TIME, WHEN WE'RE TALKING, IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK. ALMOST, ALL THREE OF THEM. THERE'S A LOGICAL PLACE WHERE THERE'S NO STRUCTURE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW, WHERE A NATURAL WALK THROUGH WOULD BE FEASIBLE. THERE'S TWO PROPERTIES BACK IN THE FRONT, THEY BOTH HAVE TO BE IN UNISON. FOR THE POSSIBILITY TO EXPLORE THE SPECIFIC LOTS TO GO THROUGH THE CAPACITY. >> TO GET GUIDANCE TO THIS ITEM. >> [INAUDIBLE]. >> (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> IF OUR GUIDANCE FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND READ, TO GET THE SPECIFIC AREAS, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT, AND WORK WITH PUBLIC WORKS, AND IDENTIFY. AT THIS POINT, THE WAY THAT WE PRESENTED DOESN'T HAVE SPECIFIC AREAS, BUT I, I -- >> [INAUDIBLE]. (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> AFTER THE STATE REVIEWS IT. ARE WE STILL IN LIBERTY TO MAKE THE CHANGES? >> YES. >> ALL THAT YOU'RE DOING IS ESSENTIALLY DEFINING WHERE THAT WALKWAY WILL BE. THE CONCEPT IS ALREADY THERE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT MY COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL -- THE WALK THROUGH FACILITATE PEDESTRIAN WALK THROUGH, LIKE THE DOWNTOWN MIXED -- THE PROJECTS YOU HAVE TO PARK, AND THERE'S NO WAY TO CUT THROUGH. YOU GO ALL THE WAY AROUND. SO THESE ARE BIG BLOCKS, SO IT MAKES IT COMPLICATED. SO THE WAY TO DRAFT IT IS FOR SOMEONE TO FACILITATE THEIR LAND THROUGH THAT. AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT I BELIEVE -- I THINK THAT IT'S CRUCIAL FOR THE INTERNET TO HAVE THAT. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP. YOU CAN EXPRESS YOUR IDEAS TO THE STAFF. IS YOU LOOK AT THE ACTUAL MAP IN AREAL, AND MOSTLY, EVERY BLOCK THERE'S A COINCIDENCE IN THE PARKING LOT ON THE PROPERTY OF THE REAR. SO IF WE DESIGNATE THESE AS A SPECIFIC PROPERTIES, THAT HAVE AN INCENTIVE. TO MAKE IT ATTRACTIVE -- I THINK THAT WE WILL ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION. OTHERWISE, IF ONE OF THE PIECE OF PROPERTY HAS THE ADJACENT PROPERTY BEHIND IT, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE MART OF THE STRUCTURE DOWN. THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO BE REAL. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK THERE'S ALWAYS ONE. IF THERE'S A STRUCTURE, YOU HAVE TO CREATE AN UNDERNEATH A STRUCTURE SOMEHOW, I THINK THAT IT'S BETTER FOR US TO ADDRESS IT PROACTIVE LEAH HEAD OF TIME. AND TO WHEAT FOR BUSINESS OFFERS TO CHARGE FOR AN INCENTIVE. HAVING THAT PROPERTY BEING ABLE TO HAVE ANNA ADAPTIVE REUSE IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THAT FOR US. IF WE DON'T BAND AID IT IT MAY NOT HAPPEN. THAT'S MY RECOMMEND ACES OF THIS. AND I DON'T KNOW FROM THE SUPPORT OF COUNCIL, AT LEAST FROM STAFF TO BRING IT BACK TO US IN SECOND READING. >> IN PLANNING -- THERE ARE OTHER AREAS THAT WE HAVE REQUIRED DEDICATIONS IN PARTICULAR AREAS, SO THAT'S NOT UNPRECEDENTED. WE HAVE DONE THAT. >> MR. MAYOR? >> UM, YEAH, I, I, AGREE THAT WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS -- IT'S PART OF THE PRESENTATION I'M ASSUMING THAT IT'S SOMETHING IT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE A LOOK AT. AND -- COUNCILMAN CABRERA SAYS, IT'S A BIG CONCERN A LOT OF TIMES WE TRY TO BE INNOVATIVE. AT THE END OF THE DAYS THE BUSINESSES WHO TRY TO PUT UP SHOP THERE, TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE GETTING IN THERE. IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE APPROVE. THEY ARE GOING TO COME TO US AT THE END AND SAY, HOW CAN YOU LET THIS COME OUT, AND APPROVE THE TEN PARKING SPOTS, WHEN WE REALLY NEED 50TH. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND IT -- I THINK LAST TIME, WITH HAD A CONVERSATION. A SHARED VALET AND MAIN AREAS, WHERE YOU CAN FOCUS THE MEAN MAIN AREA IN. BUT I WANT YOU TO UNDER THAT THE LIKELY HOME IT IT NOT BEING RECORDED, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CONSIDERATE OF THAT NEED. AND SO, YES, I THINK THAT THE CROSSWALK IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TON CONTINUE LOOKING AT. >> COUNCILWOMAN? >> MR. ADAM. I ASKED YOU THE SAME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE -- THE ISSUES THAT WE HAD WITH THE COMMUNITY. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU EXPLAINED TO ME ABOUT THE 20 PERCENT INCENTIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND COMPARE TO WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT WAS ESTABLISHED FROM THEM, MINUS THE 20 PERCENT. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION, THAT WOULD BE GREAT, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT COMPARED, HAVING THE REDUCTION FROM WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY, AND WHAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY CODE. >> YOU'RE ON MUTE, MR. ADAMS. >> WE DID PRESENT THIS OR CREATED A SLIDE JUST FOR WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING ABOUT. SO IF I MAY, LET ME SHARE MY SCREEN, AND I WILL SHOW YOU THAT ITEM. SO IF YOU LOOK HERE ON THIS ITEM, THIS SHOW SHOWS YOU IN GREATER DETAIL SO WE LOOK AT AN EXAMPLE FROM THESE SIN AIR YESES, WHERE WE TOOK IT CAN EXISTING CODE, YOU WITH BE REQUIRED OWE THE HEART DISTRICT REUSE AREA WOULD BE 8 SPACES. AND IF YOU DID READAPT IT, THEN HE HAVE -- THE REQUIREMENT WOULD BE 6 PARKING SPACES, AND FOR REFERENCE TO GAVE YOU SOMETHING TO REFER TO, OR COMPARE TO, IN THE DORAL DESIGN BUSINESS, IT WILL BE THE SAME AS DOWNTOWN ARTS IT WOULD BE 8 /P-RBGING PISSES. AS YOU INFORM THERE, YOU CAN SOW HOW IT EXISTS IN THIS -- IN THIS AREA, AND THEN COMPARING IT TO THE EXISTING DORAL DESIGN DISTRICT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT WITH THE REPORT OF UM -- OWE I WANTED TO COMPARE THAT. >> YES, THEY ARE WORKING ON THAT CITY WIDE REPORT. -- I'M OFF. SO, SO, SORT OF COMPARING THAT, AS TO WHAT WOULD BE COMPARABLE ACCIDENT YOU NO,S OR RECALL ON OWE THE IDEA WAS BROUGHT UP FOR A LITTLE THEATER OR SOMETHING. -- SOMETHING ASSOCIATED WITH LIKE A DANCE SCHOOL OR WHATEVER FOR COMPARISON SAKE: THE G A B L E STAGE WHICH IS A SMALL THEATER COMPANY THAT HOPS RATES WHEN YOU ARE OUT THERE. SO THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE SIZE OF THAT. THERE IS. THERE'S ONE, THE GABLE'S ART SIMPLE P.M. INTERNATIONAL MOVIES, AND SORT OF ITEMS THIS ARE -- THAT WILL SEAT, 140 PEOPLE, AND LARGER ITEM THE, THE PROPOSAL FOR COCONUT COVE. A VENTURA HAS MORE THAN 3 HUNDRED POINTS OF REFERENCE. I WOULD LOCK IT -- I THINK THAT IN 68949 -- 98 WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT -- I THINK THAT IT'S IN CONFLICT WITH THE -- IT TALKS ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT. AND YESTERDAY, I WENT BACK TO LOOK AT THE AMENDMENT, THE TEXT AMENDMENT A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DOCUMENT WILL HE OWE WE CAN TALK APPROXIMATE THIS THAT WE RAISE THAT LIMIT TO ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE OR THAT WE REMOVE IT. AND LEAVE IT KIND OF BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. LIKE YOU SAID, I FORESEE IN THE NEAR, AND BE BECOME HE -- IT'S NOT FOR TECHNICALLY MOVIES, BUT FOR LIVE PLACES, AND YOU AND I SPOKE ABOUT THE MARK AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THAT THEY HAVE A CERTAIN SEATING CAPACITIES, THEY ARE LIKE YOU, THIS -- I CAN SEE LIKE AN ACTING SCHOOL, AND BEING THERE, AND AND BUILDING THEATER, WHICH I HAVE -- I FEEL THAT THIS SECTION OF THE CODE WILL REALLY LIMIT THAT, AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR SOME OF THESE VENUES TO USE THE SPACE FOR, UM, RENTABLE AREAS. WE EVEN TALK ABOUT PRODUCTION I'M CONCERNED TO PUTTING A PERSON LIMIT. WHETHER WE WRITE IT IN A LANGUAGE THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE USES THAT WE'RE ALLOWING. I THINK THAT ONE HUNDRED PERSON LIMIT IS A LITTLE -- IT'S TOO LITTLE. THE OTHER THING IS. AS PART OF THE CODE FOR PARKING: I BELIEVE I DON'T KNOW FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS HOW, HOW WE WOULD REALLY REGULATE THAT, BUT I WOULD HATE TO LIMIT THE OUTDOOR SEATING REQUIREMENTS, 25 PERCENT ESPECIALLY NOW WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING. OUTDOOR SEATING. FOR THE FUTURE. AND FARTHER INTO THE FUTURE, VERY ATTRACTIVE AND POPULAR, SO I DON'T WANT TO WRITE ANYTHING INTO THE CODE THAT REALLY RESTRICT THOSE OR UM -- INVITES THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT INTO THIS AREA. THOSE ARE MY ONLY TWO COMMENTS IN THIS, IN THE ACTUAL TEXT LANGUAGE. THAT UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGES TO BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD. >> OR IN THE TRANSITION, FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND READING. >> THE ONLY COMMENT THAT I WOULD MAKE ON THE OUTDOOR EXEMPTION THAT YOU MENTIONED IS REMEMBER THAT THESE IT'S FOR THE EXEMPTIONS BEYOND THE DISTRICT CREATED. THIS IS THE THIRD SET, THIS IS ADDITIONAL EXEMPTION OF PARKING FOR THE FIRST 2 HUNDRED SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR. WHICH IS ABOUT, 5 TABLES, GENERALLY. SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS IN THE CODE, TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, IT WOULD BE MORE RESTRICTIVE. >> SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY MAKING AN INCENTIVE -- >> RIGHT. >> RIGHT. >> BECAUSE IT WOULD DEFAULT BACK TO THIS -- >> IT WOULD NEED A REQUIREMENT FOR THE PARKING FOR THE OUTDOOR SEATINGS? >> RIGHT. >> IF YOU'RE ONLY ADDING, LET'S SAY FIVE TABLES TO A PLACE, THEN WE'RE NOT GOING TO HIT YOU WITH THE PARKING, BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO INCENTIVIZE THAT SORT OF THING. OR ROOFTOP OR COURTYARD, BUT ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE, WE CAN LOOK INTO IT -- GIVE YOU SOME MORE EXAMPLES, AND UM, I'LL BE HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THAT FURTHER DETAIL, BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. >> I'M TRYING TO PULL UP HERE THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE -- >> SURE. >> ON THE PARKING. BECAUSE I READ IT, AND I MAY HAVE READ IT INCORRECTLY. BUT THE WAY THAT I UNDERSTOOD IT, IF I WERE LOOKING AT A CURRENT SPACE. LET'S SAY A CURRENT LOCATION THERE. AND I WANTED TO CREATE SOME MORE OUTDOOR USABLE SPACE. TO HOW MUCH OF THE SPACE THAT I CAN CONVERT INTO AN OUTDOOR AREA. >> RIGHT. >> NO. IT'S ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE. SO THIS PORTION OF THE CODE IS ACTUALLY EXEMPTING THE FIRST TWO HUNDRED SQUARE FEET. >> SO IF YOU DECIDED TO DO FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET FOR INSTANCE, THE FIRST TWO HUNDRED WILL BE EXEMPT BUT YOU WOULD THEN HAVE TO PROVIDE PARKING ON THE ADDITIONAL 3 HUNDRED. >> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT PARKING OR STRUCTURAL USE. THAT'S WHERE I'M CONFUSED. >> IT'S ACTUALLY UNDER THE PARKING REQUIREMENT AREA, BUT IT ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT HOW MUCH -- I THINK IT SAYS A MAXIMUM 25 PERCENT OF THE USABLE SPACE. BECAUSE NOW I CANNOT WRITE IT. >> (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> 650. HERE IT IS. C B -- IF THE USE THE OUTDOOR AREA. AND THE ACCESS OF THE DINING AREA IS EXEMPT AND THE OUTDOOR DINING SHOULD NOT EXCEED 25 PERCENT OF THE PRIMARY BUILDING'S GROUND LEVEL FLOOR AREA, SO WHAT I'M SAYING, IS ADDING IN THERE LANGUAGE, THAT IT CANNOT EXCEED 25 PERCENT OF THE GRASS AREA. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THE INCREASE. I UNDERSTAND THE FIRST ONE, THAT WE'RE OPENING IT UP. SO YOU CAN INCENTIVIZE IT WITHOUT PARKING REQUIREMENT. OR IN THE SAME SENTENCE, WE'RE LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF OUTDOOR SEATING. YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT MOTION DENIED IDENTIFIED. >> IN REGARDS TO PARKING? >> I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S UNDER THE PARKING REQUIREMENT SECTION. BUT IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING AND HOW MUCH YOU CAN USE OF IT OUTDOOR. SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO SEPARATE THAT. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? >> I UNDERSTAND IT PERFECTLY. IT'S TWO SEPARATE THINGS. AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS, THAT THIS IS A MOTIVATION, AND LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S A THIRD STEP FOR THE MOTIVATION. FOR THE ADAPTIVE USE. IF YOU'RE USING THE CURRENT BUILDING THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH OUTDOOR THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SEATING. SO I'M NOT SURE WHY WE'RE MIXING IT UP WITH THE PARKING, I UNDERSTAND THE PARKING, AND I AGREE WITH IT. I THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE REGULAR RULES. IF YOU'RE USING THE EXISTING BUILDING YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE HAVING -- YOU'RE NOT CREATING ADDITIONAL OUTDOOR SPACE. THAT'S WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW. >> BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND, WE CAN HAVE MEETINGS, AND FIGURE IT OUT. >> I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT SPECIFIC CASES. I UNDERSTAND THAT PART THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT. BUT THERE'S MAYBE OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THOSE EXISTING BUILDINGS, WHERE THEY CAN USE MORE THAN 25 PERCENT. AND I DON'T WANT TO DISCOURAGE THEM FROM DOING THAT. MAYBE, YOU RAISE THAT TO 50 PERCENT OR MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T LIKE TO WRITE THE CODE ON CASE BY CASE SCENARIO. IT SHOULDN'T AFFECT THE PARKING. I THINK THAT 25 PERCENT IS IS TOO LITTLE. >> THAT'S FINE. >> I ALSO SHOULD SAY, ENDING THE PRESENTATION PORTION, IS THAT -- AS FAR AS DRIVE IN, AND DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANTS SHALL CURRENTLY IT'S STATED THAT CURRENTLY, THEY ARE ALONG THE 58 STREET. UM, WE ACTUALLY, AGREE, THAT THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED AROUND THE EDGE SO THEY ARE FOR INSTANCE, AN EXISTING MCDONALDS, ON 79 AND THERE'S A PROPOSAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROBLEM ON DUNKIN DONUTS, ON 87. AND THOSE THREE SURROUNDING STREETS. THEY WOULD SAY -- WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWED DIRECTLY FROM. 87, 79 AND 58. SO THAT'S ONE CLAY THAT I WANTED TO PUT OUT THERE. AND UM, THE SECOND ONE IS REGARDING THE AMPLIFIED MUSIC. FOR RIGHT NOW, WE'RE SAYING THAT IT'S REGARDING ROOFTOPS, AND IT PROBABLY MAKES SENSE TO JUST STAY OUTDOOR. SO IT'S NOT JUST ROOFTOP. SO THOSE ARE TWO ITEMS THAT WE CONSULTED. AND I THINK THAT WE WILL BE -- EVERYBODY AGREES ON -- AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT -- AMPLIFIED MUSIC? >> THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE AMPLIFIED MUSIC RIGHT NOW. NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED MUSIC. THE CHALLENGE WITH THAT IS FIRST OF ALL, A LOT IS HAPPENING HERE, OUTDOOR, AND WE HAVE AN ISSUE OUTDOOR DORAL. AND ALSO U BECAUSE IT'S NEIGHBORING RESIDENTIAL. SO WE HAVE A SOUND ORDINANCE THAT WE HAVE TO ADHERE TO. THE CHALLENGE THAT I HAVE WITH THAT. IS THAT IF YOU HAVE A ROOFTOP WITH THE SMALL SPEAKERS, THAT DON'T GO BEYOND THE AREA. YOU KNOW, LITTLE ROCK SPEAKERS, AND IT CREATES AN AMBIANCE. IT'S MAYBE GOING THROUGH A -- WHICH IS DIFFERENT NOT THAN HAVING A LIVE BAND UP THERE WITH A LOUD AMPLIFIER. SO TO SAY NO, IT'S VERY RESTRICTIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME MUSIC, I GUESS, IT'S ALSO -- IT HAS TO BE CONTROLLED TO A CERTAIN DEGREE, BECAUSE IT HAS THREE BUSINESSES. SO USUALLY, OUR CODE SAYS, YOU CANNOT HEAR IT MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED FEET AWAY, IF THERE'S NO COMPETE, MAYBE THERE'S NO COMPLAINTS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. AND THAT APPLIES EVERYWHERE OUT OF THE WOODS. AND THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ARE GOING TO COME BY ARE THE RESIDENTIAL DEPARTMENTS, AND FROM OTHER BUSINESSES, AND YOU CANNOT HEAR THE MUSIC, UNLESS SOMEONE IS BLASTING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. OUTDOOR MUSIC IS WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PLACE. >> I THINK THAT THE REASON WHY WE SAY THAT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, MR. ADAMS, IS TO D I S, ENCOURAGE THEM. THE ROOFTOPS TO USE THEM. AND DISCOURAGE THEM FROM THE AREAS. THEY HAVE A ROOFTOP IN THE AREA THAT THE DESIGN HAS A ROOFTOP AREA THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY GO USE FOR OUTDOOR TYPE OF EVENTS THAT HAVE MUSIC. AND RIGHT NEXT TO THE BUILDINGS, BUT IT'S TO DISCOURAGE THAT CONSTANT NOISE AND ISSUE THAT WE CAN RUN INTO. IF THEY ARE ON 54, RIGHT? >> RIGHT. SO THIS REALLY WAS TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTIAL THAT MAY EXIST TODAY. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WAS TO NOT HAVE RESIDENTIALS WITHIN THIS OVERLAY DISTRICT. SO WE WERE BASICALLY PUTTING THIS IN THERE AS A CONTROL TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTIAL PROBLEMS, IN DOWNTOWN DORAL THAT MIGHT BE IMPACTED NOW, WE STILL HAVE OUR NORMAL NOISE ORDINANCE SO IN SOME SENSES DO YOU THINK THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT IS ENOUGH, THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST START THERE. AND IF IT'S A PROBLEM LATER WE CAN ADD IT. BUT THAT'S REALLY THE INTENT JUST TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORS ADDITIONALLY. BUT IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS. LEAVING IT TO THE OTHER TYPES OF BUSINESSES IS OKAY. >> I AGREE, WE HAVE THE NOISE ORDINANCE. I DON'T MIND THAT WE DISCOURAGE PEOPLE THERE -- >> CORRECT. CORRECT. >> IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN, WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN. AND THEN LATER ON, SAY THAT IT'S A PROBLEM. THAT AFTERWARDS, WE'RE GOING TO GRANDFATHER THEM IN. SO IT'S A DECISION THAT COUNCIL MEN, I BELIEVE THAT IT'S REVIEWED, THERE IT WILL ONLY BE ON 54TH, SO ANYWHERE PASSED THAT IN THE AREA, IT WOULDN'T BE BE AN ISSUE. RIGHT? >> SO IT'S 150 FEET, IF YOU PUT, 54TH STREET. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON THE 50TH SIDE. YOU'RE PROBABLY ABOUT, 75 FEET. IF YOU HAVE AN AM APPLY IDENTIFIED ROOFTOP, WITH A LEAVE MUSIC TYPE. YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR IT ONE THOUSAND FEET, SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN HAVE IT, AND NOW, UNLESS YOU CAN HEAR IT, YOU SAY, 150 FEET. YOU CANNOT AFFORD A NOTE -- BUT THE KEY IMPORTANCE HERE IS IS THAT I'M SUPPORTIVE OF 154 STREET. BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE, YOU HAVE IT HEAR IN THE HOUR. SO THERE'S NO CONFUSION IN THAT. >> WE CAN CLARIFY IT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OTHER ORDINANCE -- AND WITH THAT I REALLY -- UNLESS YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. BUT THAT'S MY PRESENTATION. UM, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> ALL FOUR OF THEM. >> I'LL SECOND. BUT, WITH -- THE CHANGES THAT WE CAN BRING FORWARD, RIGHT? >> RIGHT. >> WE MAKE THE MOTION. >> LET ME JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND ON THE STAFF SIDE, WHAT YOU'RE MAKING A MOTION AND SECONDING. IS WHAT WE PRESENTED, BUT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR US TO LOOK AT, UM, THE SIZE OF THE GATHERINGS. THE HUNDRED PEOPLE. FOR THE SPACE OUTDOOR, YOU WOULD LIKE FOR US TO LOOK INTO THE AMPLIFIED SOUND TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR, I WOULD ADD, 79 STREET, AND 87 AVENUES TO THE DRIVE IN AND DRIVE THROUGH. AND UM, WHAT WAS THE OTHER ITEM? FIRST OF ALL, DOES THE MAKER OF THE MOTION AGREE TO THAT? >> FINISH YOUR -- >> I HAVE NO PROBLEM IN HAVING DISCUSSIONS ON ITEMS THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. >> OKAY. >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE -- >> I GOT A NUMBER OF COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS FOR YOU. >> I KNOW THAT YOUR RECENT ARRIVAL TO THE DORAL, THIS IS MUCH MORE ALONG THE LINES OF THE MARK. AS MUCH AS THE PROCLIVITY >> YOU MADE A PROBLEM THAT ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IN THIS AREA HAS BEEN THE LACK OF PARKING FOR SOME OF THE UM -- YOUR PREDECESSOR. SAYING THAT THE PARKING IS NOT ENOUGH. LIKE, [INAUDIBLE], SOCCER SLASH SPORTING FACILITY. WHERE YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE PLAYING. THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PARKING. YOU SAID IT'S GOING TO BE PERMITTED IN THIS AREA AGAIN. IF I UNDERSTOOD YOU CORRECTLY. SPORT'S FACILITIES -- THAT WILL FALL IN THE PARKING THAT WE'RE OUTLINING HERE. >> I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS. BECAUSE I HAVE A REAL ISSUE WITH IT. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE WENT IN ONE DIRECTION, BECAUSE OF X, NOW WE'RE TRYING TO GO IN ANOTHER DIRECTION, BECAUSE OF Y. HAVE YOU BOTHER TODAY LOOK AT ANY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS, NOT JUST FROM YOUR CONSULTANTS, BUT OTHER CONSULTANTS IN THIS AREA. >> ARE YOU SPEAKING REGARDING THE MASTER PLAN? >> THE MASTER PLAN AND THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE WITH THE EXPERTS, ON THE MAYOR'S DESIGN -- OR DID YOU NOT INHERIT THAT FROM YOUR PREDECESSOR. >> I THINK THAT THE STAFF TOOK THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH THAT SPECIFICALLY. I KNOW THAT OUR CONSULTANT HAS REVIEWED THE MASTER PLAN. I CAN CHECK ON THAT. >> WHOSE THE CONSULTANT? >> MICHAEL, LOWARD. >> HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME BACK, CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >> BUT BECAUSE IT WAS A VIRTUAL SCENARIO, WE DIDN'T UM, HAVE HIM IN THIS GROUPING TO BE YOU KNOW -- HE IS WATCHING THANK YOU KNOW, ON TV, AND SO THESE RECOMMENDATIONS HE WILL BE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT. AND HE'S HEARING THEM AND WE WILL TRANSMIT THEM TO HIM HAVE. HE WAS ABLE AT THE LAST STAKEHOLDER AND THE PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD IN DECEMBER. >> ONE OF MY CONCERNS, YOU MENTIONED THAT THE DORAL DISTRICT WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AREA, WHICH WE GOT THERE IN A DIFFERENT WAY, AND TODAY IS HAVING OTHER ISSUES THAT WE HAVE INTO PLAY, WITH JACKSON MEMORIAL PLAY. WHICH WAS ADJACENT TO THE DOWNTOWN DORAL AREA. TO MAKE IT COMPLIMENTARY TO A CERTAIN EXTEND. YOU MENTIONED IF YOU HAD A MUSEUM THERE. IS IT YOUR POSITION THAT THAT MUSEUM WILL REQUIRE A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED HUNDRED PEOPLE INSIDE OF THE MUSEUM EVENT. >> BASED ON THE CODE THAT IT WAS WRITTEN TODAY, THEN THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. >> BASED ON WHAT'S PRESENTED HERE TODAY. >> REGARDLESS OF, UM, THE SIZE OF THE MUSEUM. >> YES. BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE AN EVENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRIMARY -- IF YOU'RE HAVING A GATHERING OR A GALLON AN OR A WEDDING IN THE MUSEUM OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN THAT WILL FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY OF ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE. AND THAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO WHETHER THAT NUMBER IS IS CORRECT OR NOT. >> OKAY. >> ON I'M GOING TO THINK ABOUT THIS. TO HAVING OTHER PEOPLE, IN SOME OTHER SORT OF STAGE LIKE FACILITY. >> I'M GOING TO REACH OUT TO MR. L O. Y AT SOME POINT. BECAUSE MY SUPPORT WAS ALWAYS BASED ON TRADITIONAL ADAPTIVE REUSE ALONG THE LINES OF DOWNTOWN DORAL TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE IN THIS AREA, IN LIGHT OF SOME OF THE POSSIBILITIES, UM, THAT HE WITH HAVE SEEN IN OTHER PLACES, NOT NECESSARILY, KARL GABLESOM. AND I KNOW A LOT OF THOSE PLACES THAT YOU REFER TO VERY WELL. BUT, IT WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, SO I'M GOING TO BE SUPPORTIVE ON THIS ITEM, BUT I WILL HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, WITH HOW YOU GOT ON THIS. THERE'S A CHANGE FROM THE TIME THAT THE PREDECESSOR AND YOU TODAY. >> I UNDERSTAND HIS CONCERN. WE SEE THAT IT'S STILL THERE. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE GRANDFATHERED N THERE'S ONE NEXT TO T O L L STREET, IT HAS HUGE FIELDS, AND HUGE BARN SIDE. >> [INAUDIBLE] (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MIC) (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> THEY EVERYBODY THESE HUGE EVENTS THERE. WHERE THEY PLAY SOCCER, THERE'S SO MUCH IN THE END ENTER TEENMENT AREA. THEY GOT YOU KNOW, THEY GOT SHUT DOWN, SO, THAT'S WHERE I THINK THAT THE CONCERN COMES IN. FOR THE RECREATIONAL. THIS IS NOT THE AREA FOR IT. AND THIS IS THE DECISION REALLY, DO WE WANT TO SEE THAT, IF IT'S CONTROLLED BY ONE SMALL FIELD. AND IT'S SECONDARY. THIS IS AN ART AND ENTERTAINMENT AREA, IF THE RECREATIONAL AREA, LIKE THE GYM. I DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE DIRECTIONS RIGHT AFTER. FIRST OF ALL, I WENT TO A SOCCER PLAYING, AND BUT THAT'S IN CONVENIENT -- I THINK THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE CODE TO SEE WHERE WE COULD ALLOW IT, AND WHAT REQUIREMENTS CAN BE MADE. RIGHT THOUSAND, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT SECTOR IN THE COMMUNITY, BECAUSE, OUTDOOR FIELDS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, AND THERE'S A NEED FOR PEOPLE TO PLAY SOCCER, BECAUSE TECH ANY CLOSE, TO GO TO A SHOPPING CENTER, IT'S WORSE, AND IT'S COMPLICATED. FOR WAREHOUSE AND DISTRICT, MAYBE TO ADDRESS THAT, THE SOLUTION MAY BE THIS AREA IF WE CHOOSE: IT WAS MY IDEA, AND I WAS THINKING MORE ART KIND OF ART AND CULTURE AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND SOME PEOPLE CAN CONSIDER SOCCER, AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY AND SEE THE LIMITED USE, SOCCER COMPLEX, THAT YOU HAVE ONE FEEL FOR SIX PLAYERS, AND THEN YOU LIMIT IT TO AN ENTERTAINMENT AREA. I'M OPEN TO IT EITHER WAY. AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS THE AREA FOR THAT, THEN, AT SOME POINT IN TIME, WE HAVE TO TRY TO IDENTIFY IT. TO SOME CROSS PARKING AGREEMENTS. THAT'S WHERE -- I UNDERSTAND THE MAYOR'S CONCERNS, BECAUSE WE HAD MAJOR ISSUES IN THE PAST. AND THEY ARE STILL AROUND. HE IS ESPECIALLY IN THESE TYPES OF WAREHOUSES, BECAUSE THIS IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST ONES THAT CAME TO THE CITY, ON, 44TH. IT'S A WAREHOUSE, BUT IT'S BEHIND THE SHOPPING CENTER. SO THEY USE THE PARKING LOT OUT OF THAT SHOPPING CENTER AT NIGHT. EVEN THAT, THE MARKING IS REALLY FIGHT OUT THERE. >> MY CONCERN, AGAIN, THAT WHEN WE STARTED THE CITY IT WAS A LOT EASIER. I'M A BIG SPORT'S FAN. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT FOR SOCCER -- YOU CAN DO IT FOR BASKETBALL. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL FACILITY WHERE YOU CAN -- IN THE PAST, THESE ARE THE CHEAPEST SQUARE FOOTAGE AREAS, FOR THESE TYPES OF BUSINESSES, THEY LOVE IT THE BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS COME IN WITH THE SAME ARGUMENT. AND WE EVEN THIS A VERY NICE GYM. A GYMNASTICS I DIDN'T MEAN. I THINK SOUTH OF 44. BUT, THE PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THESE THINGS IS THAT AT ONE POINT IS BECOMES, IN THIS AREA IN PARTICULAR, I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN CABRERA, BUT IN THIS AREA, WE'RE TRYING TO GEAR INTO, UM, UM, THE ART SAN PARTICULAR ARTISTIC. ADAPTIVE REUSE AREA. >> YOU KNOW, THAT TO ME, I JUST FIND THAT -- I FIND IT REAL STRANGE FOR THE FUTURE PLUS FACILITIES, TELLING THE POTENTIAL NEW STADIUM. SO THE IDEA OF THE AREA HAD WITH HAVE PEOPLE WALKING DOWNTOWN. >> I THINK THAT ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN THE ENTERTAINMENT IS THAT SPORT'S TYPE STUFF. IT'S NOT -- AFTER THEY PLAY A MATCH THEY SIT THERE, AND SOMETIMES, THEY GET THERE EARLY, BEFORE THE MATCH. YOU CAN HAVE A FIELD FOR SIX PEOPLE, AND YOU KNOW, SO YOU KNOW. >> THAT'S HOW THEY STARTED, BUT IF YOU REMEMBER, THERE'S A BIG FIGHT THERE, 6 MONTHS AGO, THAT MADE THE PAPER. AND THEY WANTED SIX ON SIX PEOPLE YOU KNOW, THERE'S ENTERTAINMENT, NOT NECESSARILY TO -- -MY MAIN CONCERN IS WHY DID WE DO THIS, CREDIT THERE'S A REASON WHY WE DID THAT; OKAY. YOU KNOW, BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, I WANT YOU TO KEEP IN MIND WHY THERE WAS AN AREA, TO HAVE THE ADAPTIVE REUSED. IT WASN'T JUST BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING TO YOU KNOW, UM, LET ME USE A GABLE'S EXAMPLE. NOT TRYING TO USE THAT AREA BY, U.S. ONE, WHERE THERE'S INDUSTRIAL TO DO X Y AND Z. IN THIS PARTICULAR, IT'S VERY CLOSE DOWNTOWN LORAL. THERE HAD BEEN ARTS TO BE HAVING AN ADAPTIVE REUSE, TO STRAY IS NOT CONSISTENT TO WHAT'S BEING CONSIDERED. SO YOU THOUGH, THAT'S MY THOUGHT, AND I'M GOING TO LOOK AT IT VERY CLOSELY, BUT I'LL TALK TO, MR. LOWARD. TO GET HIS THOUGHTS ALSO. >> OKAY. THAT SOUNDS GREAT. WE'RE TAKING NOTES. >> MADAM CLERK. YOU CAN CALL THE ROLE. >> YES, I HAVE MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE NUMBER, 20200 DASH SIX. >> MARIAGA? >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR, FRAGA? >> YES. >> COUNCILWOMAN CABRAL? >> COUNCILWOMAN, CABRAL. >> YES, SORRY, I HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH MY BATTERY THERE. YES. >> COUNSEL I WILL MAN, CABRERA? >> YES. >> MOTION PASSES. >> NEXT EYE AT THE, ITEM. D: AN ORDINANCE OF THE AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE >> OKAY. OPENING UP THE PUBLIC COMMENT. ANYBODY PROVIDING COMMENTS? >> NO, SIR. >> OKAY. MR. ADAMS, YOUR REPORT IS GOING TO BE DITTO, SINCE THE NEXT THREE ARE THE SAME? >> YES, WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL. THESE ITEMS GO TOGETHER. SO THEY ARE HEARD SEPARATELY, BUT IT GOES TOGETHER AS A PACKAGE. >> OKAY. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR -- IF NOT, WE TO HAVE ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND? >> SECOND. >> OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? THERE BEING, THEN MADAM CLERK, CALL THE ROLE. >> COUNCILMAN CABRERA? >> YES S >> COUNCILWOMAN, CABRAL >> YES. >> MARIAGA >> YES. >> FRAGA? >> YES. >> MAYOR BERMUDEZ? >> YES. >> MOTION PASSES. >> AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND THE CITY EFFECTIVE DATE >> PUBLIC HEARING, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC HEARINGS? >> NO COMMENTS. SIR. >> CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARINGS. IS THERE A SECOND? NO SECOND? >> SECOND. >> SECOND. >> I THINK THAT VICE MAYOR FRAGA. THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. CALL THE ROLE. >> COUNCILMAN CABRERA? >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR FRAGA? >> YES. >> COUNCILMAN CABRAL? >> YES. >> COUNCILWOMAN MARIAGA? >> YES. >> MAYOR BERMUDEZ. >> YES. >> MOTION PASSES. >> ONE QUICK QUESTION MUCH. I'M NOT SURE NOW, IF ALEX NEEDS IT, IS THERE SUPPORT FOR HIM TO LOOK INTO THE IDEA OF PROVIDING DID HE DO INDICATED EASEMENTS, IN UM, THE MIDDLE OF THE WHERE WE FEEL IT'S MOST USEFUL. >> MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT IT WAS -- PART OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS. OKAY. PER TEXT. SOUNDS GOOD. >> THAT'S CORRECT MR. MAYOR. >> . F: ORDINANCE #2020-07 "LAND FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE >> OKAY. MADAM CLERK, ANY COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? >> YES. THOSE WERE CIRCULATED FOR THE L.P.A FOR THE SAME ITEMS, THOSE WERE. >> HAS EVERYBODY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS? >> YES. >> YES. >> YES. >> OKAY. >> IF YOU HAVEN'T, LET US KNOW. >> THAT MEANS EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW IT. AT THIS POINT, WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I SECOND. >> SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CABRERA. MADAM CLERK CALL THE ROLE. >> MOTION TO APPROVE ON FIRST READING. >> COUNCILWOMAN MARIAGA >> YES. >> COUNCILMAN CABRERA? >> YES. >> CABRAL? >> COUNCILMAN CABRAL? >> YES S >> VICE MAYOR FRAGA? >> YES. >> MAYOR BERMUDEZ. >> YES. >> MOTION PASSES. >> G: ORDINANCE #2020-10 "TEXT AMENDMENT EFFECTIVE DATE. >> DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM? >> NO, SIR. >> YES. SO, AS YOU REMEMBER, UM, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, BEFORE THE COVID, UM VIRUS AND ALL OF THAT. WE PASSED SOME REVISIONS TO THE PUBLIC ARTS ORDINANCE REGARDING THE MEMBERSHIPS, AND THE PUBLIC ARTS COMMITTEE. WHEN WE DID THAT AT THE TIME. WE SPECIFIED SPECIFICALLY THAT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT WAS GOING TO OVERSEE OR ADMINISTER THAT PROGRAM SINCE THEN, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. WE LOOKED AT IT INTERNALLY AND WE DECIDED THAT IT'S PROBABLILY BETTER OFF TO PLAN TO ADMINISTER IT. BECAUSE WE ALREADY REVIEWED THE SITE PLANS, AND A LOT OF THE PUBLIC ARTS, IS PART OF THE BUILDINGS, THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THROUGH OTHER PROCESSES. SO THE ONLY THEY CAN THAT WE'RE ASKING HERE, AND THE ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGING IS HIGHLIGHT THE PARK'S DEPARTMENT IN PARTICULAR, WE WOULD MAKE IT THE CITY MANAGER OR THE DESIGNEE. LUIS DO YOU WANT TO CLARIFY THAT? >> ARE YOU THERE? >> THE ONLY REAL ISSUE IS THAT -- IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD, IT'S STILL APPROVED BY THE MAYOR, AND SELECTED BY THE MAYOR, AND APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL, THIS IS ADMINISTRATIVE TO WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OVERSEES IN THE MEETING, AND SCHEDULED IN THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS, AND THE STAFF FEELS THAT HE SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE OFFERS AND WHICH AID DEPARTMENT -- THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT >> ANY QUESTIONS? >> IF NOT, WE HAVE TO HAVE A MOTION TO GET IT APPROVED. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> OKAY. CLERK ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> MY ONLY COMMENT IS THAT I'M GOING TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF IT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT IN PLANNING, IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU UM -- GREATER LOVER OF THE ARTS, NEVERTHELESS. MADAM CLERK, CALL THE ROLE. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. ORDINANCE NUMBER ON FIRST READING -- >> COUNCILMAN CABRERA? >> COUNCILMAN MARIAGA >> YES. >> CABRAL? >> YES. >> FRAGA? >> YES. >> MAYOR BERMUDEZ. >> YES. >> MOTION PASSES. >> ORDINANCE #2020-11 "TEXT AMENDMENT TO EFFECTIVE DATE >> PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN. DID WE GET ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? >> NO, SIR. >> DEPUTY CITY MANAGER? >> YES, MR. MAYOR, I'M I'LL HANDLE THIS ONE. I'LL THIS IS THE FIRST READING TO REVISE THE FIRST CODE OF ORDINANCE, SUBDIVISION. AND HE REVISION, INCLUDES THE REQUIREMENTS OF PROCESSES, FOR PLANNING. AND THE REVISION ALSO INCLUDES THE CHAPTER REFLECTED CITY PROCESS. AND THIS IS THE FIRST READING THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE FIRST AND FINAL READING. >> JUST SO WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE ON THIS. JUST FOR THE PLANNING PROCESS, AS MORE OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS; IS THAT CORRECT? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> BUT NOT -- [INAUDIBLE]. BECAUSE THE WAY THAT THE FEDERAL STATE STATUTE IS WRITTEN, THAT'S GOT TO ENGOVERN THE BODY. WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY TO BE MADE BY APPOINTED BY YOU AND APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL, IT WILL BE THE THREE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS TO [INAUDIBLE]. >> FOR OUR PURPOSES, AND I KNOW -- UM, WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE, PLATTING THROUGH THE COUNCIL, BUT THAT'S NOT TYPICAL. USUALLY IT'S ADMINISTRATIVE TYPE OF PROCESS. ; IS THAT CORRECT? >> IT IS, BUT IT'S IN THE GOVERNING BODY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOARD, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. THE BUT THE PLATTING BOARD IS FROM THE ACCOUNTING. >> I DON'T WANT YOU TO CONFUSE MY FELLOW ELECTED OFFICIALS. THE REASON -- WE WERE ONE OF THE RARE CITIES IN PLATTING. AND WE COME BACK TO PLATTING, AND WE POINT OUT LATER, THAT THIS WILL -- MANY TIMES, THAT CONFUSION WOULD NOT EXIST BECAUSE THERE'S ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS THERE'S THE GOVERNING PURVIEW, BUT IT'S NOT THE GOVERNING BODY; IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES, SIR. >> ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ON THIS ISSUE? >> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> GO AHEAD. >> SO TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE AND UNDERSTANDING CLEARLY, IT'S STILL A GOVERNING BODY, BUT IT STILL NEEDS THE SUNSHINE TO BE APPROVED. SO IT'S NOT PRECLUDING PEOPLE [INAUDIBLE]. >> THAT'S CORRECT. BECAUSE IT'S A HYPER TECHNICAL APPROVAL. IT DOESN'T DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT'S WHY SOME CITY, USUAL LEE HAVE BOARDS TO VERDICT THAT, AND I BELIEVE IT WILL STILL BE IN THE SUNSHINE. IS THERE ANY REQUIREMENT WITHIN THE CODE THAT SAYS ON OWE OR THE STATUTE THAT SAYS THE GOVERNING BODY CAN BE MADE UP OF RESIDENTS, FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD OF THE ADMINISTRATION, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MADE UP BY STAFF. IT SHOULD BE PEOPLE THAT ARE SURVEYORS, SO THE RESOLUTION THAT WAS GOING TO BE PRESENTED OR SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED WITH THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS: THOSE ARE THE MOST QUALIFIED TO HAVE THE PLATTS. >> A QUESTION THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER, WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF HAVING IT IN THE GOVERNING BOARD. >> THE PURPOSE IS THAT PLATTS, AND USUALLY, DEVELOPERS NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY. FOR EXAMPLE, ON THIS INSTANCE, THESE TWO DEVELOPERS, HAVE WAITED FOR A LONG TIME, AND IT'S TECHNICAL, IT'S NOT THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT -- THIS IS PURELY TECHNICAL. AND IT'S -- IT'S BLACK OR WHITE. MOVE IT TO WHERE IT SHOULD BE, STILL ALLOW THE SUNSHINE, AND EVEN WHAT THE COUNTY DOES. >> I THINK WHAT IT DOES IS, IT TAKES AWAY THE CONFUSION WHEN THE COMMUNITY COMES TO COUNCIL AND WE'RE DID GO A PLATT ACCIDENT AND NOT ASKING US NOT TO IMPROVE IT. BUT WE DO HAVE DISCRETION, AND LIMITED CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO ADHERE BY. AND CERTAIN QUESTIONS, TO APPROVE. IN THE PLAQUE, AS LONG AS THEY MET THE TECHNICAL. -- BECAUSE WE'RE RELYING ON THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. SO THEN WE DON'T REALLY HAVE DISCRETION IF ALL OF THE CHI TIER I CAN'T SEE HAVE BEEN MET FROM A TECHNICAL POINT OF VIEW. I THINK WHAT THIS DOES IS AVOIDS CONFUSION. I REMEMBER FROM THE COMMUNITY TO GO AND OBJECT TO IT. SO STAFF WILL BE MUCH BETTER EXPLAINED WHY THE STANDARDS OF BEING MET, AND THEN THE COMMUNITY WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN THAT. THERE'S NO YES OR NO THERE. AND UM, SO, I THINK THAT THIS SIMPLIFIES THAT PROCESS, AND THAT COMMUNITY DOESN'T HAVE FALSE EXAMINE PECK TAKES, TO SAY NO. BECAUSE OF THE TIME THAT IT HAPPENED IN LANDMARK. EVERYBODY IS CUTTING IN FRONT OF THEIR HOMES, IT'S FUME FUME MANY AND DESIGNING OF THIS. I'LL PLEASE A MOTION AT THIS TIME. >> I'LL SECOND IT. >> SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MARIAGA. >> ONE LAST QUESTION, SINCE THERE'S NOTICE REQUIREMENTS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE STAYS THE SAME. >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> SO THERE'S NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. AND COUNCILMAN, CABRERA SAID WHICH IS IN THE HANDS OF EXPERTS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NONE. MADAM CLERK, CALL THE ROLE. >> COUNCILMAN, CABRERA? >> YES. >> COUNCILMAN MARIAGA >> YES. >> COUNCILMAN CABRAL. >> YES. VICE MAYOR, FRAGA. >> YES. >> MAYOR BERMUDEZ. >> YES. >> MOTION PASSES. >> SECOND READING. LAST ITEM: CODE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE >> IS THERE PUBLIC HEARING? >> NO. >> SECONDED. >> MR. ADAMS, YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS YOUR APPROVAL? >> YES, THIS IS THE SAME AS FIRST READING, WE HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH SINCE FIRST READ, AND WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS EVEN OUTSIDE OF THIS MEETING REGARDING THE FIRST READING, SO IT'S THE SAME ITEM THAT YOU SAW ON FIRST READING THAT YOU RECOMMEND APPROVAL. AND AGAIN, JUST FOR YOUR CLARIFICATION: THIS REGARDS ONLY MEDICAL DISPENSARIES. THIS DOESN'T INVOLVE FOR DOCTORS, THIS DOESN'T INVOLVE THE OTHER PORTIONS OF THE CODE, THAT WE CANNOT AFFECT BY STATE LAW, THIS ONLY AFFECTS DISPENSARIES. >> OKAY. >> MADAM CLERK, CALL THE ROLE. >> MOTION TO APPROVE IT ON SECOND READING. COUNCILMAN CABRERA? >> YES. >> COUNCILMAN CABRAL? >> YES. >> COUNCILMAN, MARIAGA? >> YES. >> VASE MAYOR, FRAGA? >> YES. >> MAYOR BERMUDEZ? >> YES. >> BEFORE WE ADJOURN, WE WILL HAVE THE MEETING ON FRIDAY, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY MOTIONS TO DISCUSSION, PLEASE PASS THEM ALONG TO THE CLERK. SO THAT STAFF CAN BE PREPARED. AND BY THAT TIME, SINCE WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY, THE PROPOSED STANDARDS, THE STAFF SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REVIEW ALL OF THEM. >> MOTION TO ADJOURN.
