Okay. These items are quality assurance and there are certain guidelines which you must follow during this hearing. Mister deputy attorney, please outline the process.

Thank you, mister chair. So the board is considering applications tonight that are quasi judicial in nature. On each of these items, the board must base its decision on the legal criteria that's detailed in the city code, which is also outlined in the cover memo and which is hereby incorporated into the record. Legal criteria are different for each item. However, for each of the items, your decision must be based on substantial competent evidence. Substantial competent evidence is evidence that a reasonable mind would accept as adequate to support a conclusion. Public sentiment alone is not considered evidence, although facts raised by members of the public may be considered and addressed by the parties. Staff will present its summary of each application and then the applicant will present its case. The board may then ask questions. Then members of the public shall be allowed to speak for three minutes each on the quasi judicial items.

Because we have to follow rules of due process that allow the parties to respond and provide evidence, members of the public will not get a second opportunity to speak. Staff and each applicant will get an opportunity to address the comments and then the board may ask questions of staff, the applicant, or the sworn experts. Once all questions are closed, there can be no further comments from any party and then the board will vote on the applications. Mister chair, are ready to proceed with, seven a?

Thank you. This is application BD2506032, CU2506035, and B2506039. Staff, do you have a presentation?

Good evening, board. My name is Josiah Israel with the Planning and Zoning Division of City Hallandale Beach. I am the associate planner. Today, representing Pembroke Plaza located at There we go. This is Pembroke Plaza located at 837 Pembroke Road.

This is a major development application, conditional use review and advance request. This is the aerial view of the property located at 837 Pembroke Road within the Pembroke Road subdistrict of the West Rack. Here is the zoning map. This is located in the West Rack Pembroke Road subdistrict. There are three requests, major development review, which is application DB2032.

This is a commercial development. Totality is 7,500 square feet. The commercial development of 5,195 square feet, and then there is a drive through component of 2,205 square feet. That's what the conditional review is for. Pursuant to section 32 nine sixty four, we are reviewing this for the permit drive thru component of the development, which is a conditional use in the Pembroke Road subdistrict.

The advanced request for application V Dash25Dash06039 is to allow for a two foot landscape buffer strip where five feet is the minimum buffer requirement and the interior landscaping to allow five foot landscape islands at the end of a parking row in lieu of a seven foot minimum. The applicant's proposal, it is a one story building, 20 feet in height, Again, 5,195 square feet of commercial space and 2,205 square foot drive through facility. Parking, rear service parking lot with 22 spaces including EV spaces, 10 foot wide sidewalk along Pembroke Road, a two foot right of way dedication along Pembroke Road, and eight foot masonry wall to screen from adjacent residential properties, which is located in the rear. Here are the existing conditions is a vacant parcel. Top left is the view from 9th Avenue, bottom right is the view from Pembroke Road, and here are the renderings of the proposed development.

So as you can see, one story retail and here is the site plan. So starting from left to right, you see units A, B, and C. That's what makes up the 5,195 square feet and the commercial drive thru component on the right side makes up 2,305 square feet. Here are the north and west elevations of the property along Pembroke Grove. That's the front north elevation and along the 9th Avenue is the west elevation.

The south and east elevations of the development, and the landscaping plan. So the applicant provided the minimum landscape requirement necessary, which was 10%, and they exceeded minimum required trees. What was required is 18, they provided 24. So the variances, as we spoke about earlier, what's required, section 30 two-384E, perimeter landscaping, five foot minimum landscape buffer. They're proposing two feet to the property line, so they added three feet deficiency.

And the second variance is for the interior landscaping, seven foot minimum landscape island width in parking lots end the parking lots, but that's five foot landscape islands that's proposed, so they had a two foot deficiency. Findings, the maze development application was reviewed and found compliant with standards and criteria set in thirty two-seven eighty seven. Conditional use application was also found compliant with the review criteria of section 30 two-nine 64. The advanced application was found generally compliant with the review sections, review criteria of section 32 dash nine sixty five. Here are the proposed conditions that the applicant must adhere to.

Staff recommends the planning and zoning board to consider the requests and for a recommendation of approval to the city commission with the proposed conditions.

Can you go back to the conditions? Yes. You seem pretty standard conditions, right?

Yes, payment of the impact fees.

No, everything else seems pretty standard. Okay. Let's pause, any questions for the applicant at this time from the board? Or would like to wait until the end?

We can wait till the end.

Okay. Is the applicant here? Do you have a detailed presentation? Or we're just here to answer questions? Just introduce your name and your team.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you. Yes, my name is Daniel Shamos, group developers and I'm the applicant. Here's with me and my team, the architects, Patricia, our civil engineer, Andres, and Chris Hagen, our traffic consultant for any questions that you may have for this project.

Okay, just be on standby. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Are there any cards from the public at this time? We have one card.

We have two signed speakers.

Okay. Okay. At this time, I'd like to open the public hearing. Any members of the public who would like to speak for or against this item? Please rise. Yes, ma'am. State your name for the record.

Name is Cheryl Robinson.

Into the record. Yes. And your address. Thank you.

How you doing? My name is Cheryl Robinson. 1046 Foster Road. Got history, long history at 908 Northwest 10th Street, will be the street before this development. Long time residence over thirty years.

I do a lot of things for my community and things like that, but cut the small talk because you said it's not about the sympathetic of it, but I'm just here to protest that because we're just tired of the developers and people coming and getting pieces of the pie and just building up things, and we don't have anything as the residents and the natives. Me myself, I have a food cart. I done took my cart and tried to sell food and do things on that field. I even reached out to the CRA in the past to try to get funding. It's so much of requirements when you don't have any monies or a team, when you just have a love of your city and you made some mistakes and you see things happening, so you just start standing up for it.

It heartbreaks me for them have plans and just come in your community where you're born and raised at, and most of the time when they build these developments, they don't give any employment. If they do, they do it just temporarily to make it look good, like they're giving back to the community. Even with the one story, I feel like if they build something with multiple suites or something for the entrepreneurs or the people of the community can utilize them for rental space for their businesses and things like that, A lot of times when people come up with developments, they're just building one specific restaurant or whatever they're doing. They're not doing nothing for the community, for us to succeed, to be great despite the hardship and the faults of ourselves, I feel like a lot of them got it the easy way. It's a lot of blood and a lot of pain and things that happen in this city, and it looks good because a lot of people are vacant, a lot of people lost their kids.

It's kind of turned into ghost town, so you have people coming and they're seeing the land and they're seeing the opportunity, but they have no idea of all the blood, heartache, the struggle of it. I'm not here to take away from greatness because just to be real, your presentation was great. I love what you're trying to do, and I'm always here for improvement, but I just need you guys to start considering the people a little more. That's it. That's all.

Just consider these people more and you know, make your developments a little more for somebody. You know, you can see that's under you because everybody came from under somebody. Everybody came from a push. Somebody that gave somebody something even if it was a blessing from god And I appreciate you guys, and nice to meet you guys. Again, my name is Sheryl Robinson, and I go city to city, Pembroke Park, West Park, Dany, Hollywood because I'm from all them areas I went to school.

I played with a lot of the kids from different areas, so I stand up from it. And we only just really x's away. So we need to stop even doing a lot of dividing into. It's a lot of dividing with these different cities and things, and we all can be planning and helping each other with the lateness. Thank you guys so much again for the opportunity. So just trying

to summarize, you sound like you needed some more input from the community for this project?

Yes, we would really want to have some input and even if I can get another date to know what it is, I can bring some resonance in to really go up against it because in our resonance we're dealing with a lot of lack of knowledge. A lot of people that are not caring, but when they do figure it out, they care. So I'm the one that brings it to the people's attention to really wake them up. We got a lot of people that's depressed, on drugs, laws, they gave up, but I'm here to stand for them.

Hearing that, do you support this project or not?

Not at all.

Okay, thank you very much. Thank you so much. Any other members of the party who'd like to speak on this item?

Talir Rodriguez.

Thank you. Speak your name and address for the record. Thank you for coming

in. Can

you hear me clear?

Yes.

Okay. My name is Dahlia Rodriguez, and I live at 1009 Foster Road. A little closer. 1009 Foster Road, in Hollandale Beach, Florida 33009 is my address. So good evening, everyone.

Before I begin, I am requesting the right to submit a written rebuttal to any statements made about me or my comments after I finish speaking. I wanna speak briefly about the Northwest section, specifically Martin Luther King, also known as 8th, to Pembroke Road, Foster Road, and a couple blocks over, I think it's 7th, all the way down to the 95, that specific specific corner. Corner. The Northwest Foster Corridor has longstanding issues with flooding, incomplete infrastructures, and under investments. As planning and zoning reviews developmental I'm sorry, development and land use decisions, I ask that the board consider how zoning can support long term improvements in this area.

The Northwest section needs zoning that encourages safe, healthy, and accessible uses, including community spaces, food access, and services for seniors and vulnerable residents. Future zoning decisions should ensure that this neighborhood is not overlooked and the development supports the people who live there. Thank you, guys.

Thank you very much for coming. Any more items, any more speakers?

No more speakers signed up.

Anybody else in the audience would like to speak for this item? Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing. Time to turn to the board for questions for the applicant or to staff. Can you pull up the site plan please? Okay, let's start from my left. Any questions? Into the mic.

Hi. The two speakers I actually was, I just wanna be clear that you're looking to have more decisions made on this type of agenda item that are going to include jobs for the people in the community? What is it exactly that

you're We're not going back and forth. We're not going back and forth with the audience.

That was my question. What exactly that they're not happy with or what they would like to see happen and why this, from this particular hearing.

Okay.

We can't get an answer, so.

Thank you.

Do you

have any questions for staff?

I do have one question. On number three, it says payment of city's impact fees in the amount of $99,000.01 and 2 are going towards water impact fees, sewer impact fees. What impact fees from the city is that 99,000 gonna be applied to?

99,000 is for development impact fees. So there's water and sewer, and then there are development fees that are charged by planning and zoning for life safety, parks and rec. There's four different categories.

So from that $99,000, some of that money is gonna go towards the park and rec?

Correct. Yes.

In that develop in the Northwest area?

Yes.

Okay. And what else was it?

Parks and rec? There's fire, police safety, parks and rec, and mobility. What's mobility? For transportation.

Oh, okay. So will there be an extra bus or something to transport

the No. The calculation is based on the square footage of the project. There's a calculation, and that money goes into a pot that the commission can allocate in the future to those types of projects.

In the Northwest area?

Yes. Some of the calculations are for the Northwest only, but, I think police and fire is, citywide.

Okay. Okay. So it's nice to see that clarification. Thank you.

Had a I had a couple of question. One, the ingress and egress, can you show me where it is? Because I know there's a median in that area, so how they're entering and exiting on the property.

So you see an entrance along Pembroke Crow. Here is them going east along Pembroke Road and the entrance is here. That's one entrance. And then an exit here. So, this is a one way and this is also a one way. So, they'll be exiting on Northwest 9th and it'll be a right turn going up. So, that's the Ingress and Egress.

So if I was going west, is there a way to make a left into this property?

We don't have the street.

No, I believe there's a median there so you would have to make a U-turn.

Okay. And my other question is I noticed that there were, I know that they have plenty of trees, but they were removing three trees. Are those big trees, can they just place them elsewhere, the ones that will be

removed? Looking at the landscape plan, it depends on the condition of the trees. Okay.

I think it's two slides.

And the only other concern I had was, one of the constituent brought up, the resident brought up regarding flooding. Can you guys make sure you have some kind of, when you're building, to make sure the area has some kind of flooding mitigation, if that could be a condition so it doesn't impact and create more flooding when they're building? Sometimes when you build new development, the area, they'll rise that property, but it impacts that street.

That's all I So are you referring to during construction? During construction, there's standards that will have to be followed where they mitigate flooding, but also when the plans go through permitting, our engineering department ensures that the water retention is sufficient for the property.

Understood, thank you. I'm good, chair.

Thank you, let's move on to my right.

I was going to address the question regarding the trees. The three trees are slated to be removed. The water in good conditions are supposed to be mitigated, but they're in the way of the building.

A couple of questions with basically traffic flow. 9th Avenue is a one way street. I didn't think it was a one way street.

No, not a one this this exit is one way, but it's a right turn. It's a there's right turn only going

How how are we or how how is that going to be achieved? Just a sign saying right turn Yes.

Sign saying right turn on me.

Oh, lots of people follow those. Is there any way because that basically is meaningless. Somebody wants to turn left, they're going to turn left. Is there any way of maybe putting some bollards or something so that the coming out, you have no choice? Is there I mean, at 9th Avenue, there's a meeting?

That's a race meeting? That

was discussed extensively during DRC. The applicant's traffic engineer, or could I address that more specifically? Because they were definitely concerned about traffic. Okay.

Chris? Yes. Your name and for Thank the you.

Good evening. Chris Hagen with Kimberly Horn and Associates at 477 South Rosemary Avenue in West Palm Beach. I was sworn in at the beginning of the hearing. We did go through a pretty extensive process to determine access for the entire site. So I'll just give a brief overview and then talk about that. As was mentioned, we only have one inbound only driveway that's on Pembroke Road. Pembroke Road is an FDOT roadway, so that driveway access is not actually controlled by the city. It's controlled by FDOT. So we had to go through a review process at FDOT. That's what they were willing to grant was a one way inbound only driveway there.

Then we ended up then needing to get cars out of the site. So those are oriented towards 9th Avenue, And the only options there would be to have it as a right turn only or a right and left. There were concerns about potential safety with vehicles making a left out. So we did agree to make it a right out only. There is one thing that I did want to mention is yes, there will be signs and yes, sometimes there's an issue with compliance with signs.

But one thing else that occurred during the process was that we were required to flare that driveway. So if you look on the plans, the curbing actually directs vehicles to a right turn movement. It's not a normal curb with kind of a radius that would make that left turn easy. It's a curb that is angled to kind of angle the vehicles into a right turn movement to reinforce that it's right turn only.

Okay, did you see it?

Okay. Basically the answer to my question is no. There's nothing to require that is going to force people to make a right turn. And I know there's nothing you can do to do that, but I would request to the city that maybe, again, some bollards or something on 9th Avenue there to make it that people cannot turn left. Because right now, if people wanna turn left, they can.

All they got, you know and you're not gonna have a police officer sitting there, you know, twenty four hours to keep people and to enforce it. So if we have something in 9th Avenue there at that exit, and again, it's a city issue, not not for the applicant. But, I would I would request that the city look into that. My second issue, right, with the you have park drive through, you're gonna have people backing out of parking spaces into where people are driving for the the drive through. I realize, you know, that to me is somewhat a little problematic.

You know, that if it's a busy drive through, then you're going have people backing up into the

oncoming traffic. Understood. One thing is the tenant isn't known at this time, and it's true that with drive through restaurants, popularity of the drive through window can vary from tenant to tenant. So you do see different levels of that. One thing that we were required to do during the city review process, because I feel like the city is very thorough in its review, was that we did a drive through queuing study, which is in a section of our traffic analysis.

And there we used standardized rates. Again, it's sort of independent of who the end tenant is, but some standard rates from an average of drive through windows. And so those are taken at drive through restaurants around the country and we performed analysis. There's approximately 115 feet that's provided in the drive through lane starting from where it connects to the west end of the drive through lane in the parking lot all the way up to the drive through window. That's enough to accommodate approximately five to six vehicles.

And so the queuing analysis that we performed showed that what we do is ninety fifth percentile, so we look at 95% of the time that it will be contained well within that 115 feet.

I'm not so much concerned about cars being queued behind the parking spaces. I'm more concerned about cars driving through there and people trying to get out of the parking space backing up into oncoming traffic. That's more my concern. I don't know how you resolve you know, how that problem would get resolved. I mean, I honestly, most drive throughs, you don't really have that issue where parking backs into where people are heading towards the drive through, not waiting.

I will say that there are a lot of standalone fast food restaurants, which is where you see drive throughs a lot, that do have this. A lot of McDonald's or Burger King parking lots do have parking in the areas right before where the menu board is for the drive through. I think it is something that drivers are used to encountering when they're in a drive through facility. And there will be signage in the parking lot that will help kind of direct vehicles to where they're going.

Yes. On the drive through lane that Chris was speaking about, it's independent than the parking. All the parking spots that see on the north side of the parking lot, they go backwards. They don't go in front. So that lane, it's independent. That's the queue of the six cars, five to six cars that you will have on drive thru. So that's not in conjunction of the traffic that might go over there.

Oh, no. No. Yeah. You're saying I'm not concerned about the queue the cars cars waiting. I'm concerned about the cars that are driving to the the the queue. Not not the one the one what once your car is stopped, I'm not concerned about that. I'm concerned about the car that's moving one moving one way and another car moving another way. That that is my concern. So the the car is heading between the two parking going to the drive through. Then you got people backing out of a parking spot into oncoming cars who are going to the queue. Once they're in the queue, they're fine. It's going to the queue that I have. That's my concern.

Right. The calculations for the queue, that's why the five or six cars that was done in the study, if you can add up.

Again, to go back to the question, I think that is a common, and I don't have an aerial photograph to be able to point to, but I think that is a common situation. When you look at a lot of standalone drive through restaurants, there are a lot of those that are set up where you drive through the parking area to get to the menu board to enter the drive through lane. I think it is a standard condition that is encountered. Because just like this site, to be honest, this site is a little difficult to work with because it's a relatively small site. And so dimensionally, we've come up with a plan that makes it work.

It's typical with standalone fast food restaurants that they're often on relatively small sites. And you do have a mix, the cars mixed together, the cars that are going to the drive thru, driving through the parking area to get to the drive thru and mixing with the cars that are backing in and out of parking spaces.

Where's the menu board?

It's hard to see on here. It

will be in this corner.

On the wall on the left side?

Where the yeah. It's not on the The arrow? Not the light, the arrow? The center?

Yes.

Okay. On

the east side of the door?

No. No. The window. The menu. Right here the people order and gets it. So

there's no pre No preorder. Okay. Are

you done? Yeah. Sorry, going back to the same issues, I guess. And I had a question that you answered. First of all, going back to his point, I don't think it's standard that like the cars that are going to the window are actually wrapping around those six or seven parking spots.

They're not just going in front of them. But my question was, I believe that one of the main reasons for the variances ask, especially on landscape and etcetera, is because we do have a drive thru element to this building. And my question was, but your answer was, do we have already an occupant that we know is gonna be long term so we know that whatever is approved as variances variances and we deal with the challenges with the traffic and the car movement, to know really that that's not going to end up being a vacant space, but that you have a committed occupant. But it sounds like you don't have one right now.

We do have several options of tenants that might go there as a drive through. We have many prospects that we're speaking with. But until we get any site approval, we are gonna move forward with these conversations. And definitely we are looking for, I mean the reason not putting that menu prior, that speaker to order prior, it's to avoid the queue to be longer into the parking. That's why we put it all the way till the end and to meet it over there.

Now the study that we have for the drive through and for the future tenant that we will allow, they have to meet those study numbers and the data that it's allowed depending on the volume and depending on the ratio that will be required for the drive through. Definitely, it's not gonna remain vacant for sure. For us it's a very important tenant or a precise and very indicative tenant on the project that we have to have these drive thrus. So for us it's like the key or the anchor of this small plaza that we're presenting.

And well,

good luck putting those requirements in a lease because then you have the project approved and put in a lease how much you're gonna sell, sir, what traffic you're gonna have. Everybody will want to have more traffic than Of course. No, that was my concern. I don't have any other questions.

Okay. If both of you can stand. What is the corner being treated as such? It gonna be landscape, public art? What? I'm sorry? The corner.

Which corner?

Street corner. Just state your name for the record. No, the other corner.

It's landscape. Under

Pembroke and the 9th Avenue.

Over here. Yes. Okay.

Okay. Landscape.

Landscape? Landscape. Trees?

No. Because we have visible triangular. Okay.

Is the dumpster sufficient for all these tenants? You only have one dumpster location.

We have a dumpster location here I'm sorry. There. There.

Is that dumpster sufficient? That's my Yes. Does that dumpster include recyclables?

Yes.

That dumpster has location for recyclables? It looks like just enough for one dumpster.

It goes for both. You have a you could you could do a trash compactor and the recycles I the

know there's no bypass lane, but it is what it is. Maybe this is for staff. Where are the variances?

Yeah. Have a small buffer in this side. Okay.

We have

a small buffer in this side of the property.

So the south side buffer requires a variance?

Yes. This is one. It's a buffer of two feet in teat of five, which is required in the code. And the island, we have one island of five feet in teat of seven.

So that's the one variance there, that tree?

Not the tree, no. This landscape island.

Okay. It's the width

of the island, the terminal island. Okay. So that's the one

island you need a variance for? Yes. Two

Two Two islands islands. And the buffer.

Okay. There's a perimeter landscaping buffer variance and an interior, which is the island.

Is there a hedge on the south side? On the wall, next to the wall, is there a hedge on the south?

You have buffer here. And here, you have a small buffer, with green wall.

A green wall?

Green wall.

So it's not gonna be shrubs?

No. We have we have I think electrical poles there. But it's out.

What do you mean a green wall?

A green wall is a wall covered with green vegetation.

Like vines?

Yeah. Could be.

Okay. Thank you very much. Let's have the traffic engineer see if he can respond to that and be going to bring it to a close.

Yeah. Again, Chris Hagin with Kimberly Moore and Associates. One of the other components of the traffic study was it was noted that there are multiple school zones nearby, and there's actually, and you can kind of see it at the top end of the screen, there's a pedestrian signal across Pembroke Road that is specifically there in the middle of this school zone. There was a pedestrian study that was included as a part of our analysis that looked at the pedestrian traffic, including walkers to and from the school, use of that pedestrian crossing, and how that all interacts with this building. One thing is, as a retail site, the trip generation in the morning is typically fairly low.

A lot of retail stores don't open before 09:00 or so in the morning, and so you won't see that traffic overlapping with school pickup and drop off. And then when you look at the evening traffic, a lot of retail traffic tends to be commuters stopping by, especially with a small shopping plaza where it's not really a destination, but more of the type where somebody would swing by on their way home from work, where more of the traffic would be expected to be 4PM, 5PM, 6PM, which is after the school dismissal period. So when you look at the peak hours for coincide as much with the school. So But again, we did also look at the pedestrian traffic and the location of the school zones and have a diagram of the study that shows all that.

Thank you. For the applicant, can you explain to me the ramp coming from Pembroke, how it goes up to the site?

There is another, well, I don't know if we, can I, how can I advance the, well, anyway? So the ramp goes, you go from 95 going East Pembroke, then you enter over here.

No, mean getting on to walking into the building. The ramps. Oh, there's a ramp ramp up for pedestrian.

We have a few entrance to the buildings by walk. One is from the parking from this space. We do have here a door, and you can go to the other spaces near the street by this street or the ramps, and you can go from the 9 or from Pembroke. So you have entrance from Pembroke, from the 9th Avenue, and from the parking space. You have entrance here and also you have another entrance here.

I'm sorry, I think if you go to the next slide, the elevations are easier to explain it.

Okay. Here you have the, okay, the stairs and the ramps to go into the fritile spaces.

So along Pembroke, the ramp is on the east side of the property and the stairs are on the west side. Then on 9th Avenue, there's a the ramp starts in the middle of the elevation, and the stairs are on the north side of the property.

Say someone does just cross the street from 9th Avenue across the street onto this property. How will they get onto the site walking or in a wheelchair?

Okay. Here? Yes. If you are coming from here, you can go through this stairs or you can go to the end of this part of the street and go to the ramp.

So that's

Or you can go from I'm sorry. You can go through this stair or to this ramp.

So there's no direct access from the corner No. Onto the building?

Of of this stair. Nine. This stair or this stair?

No. I meant the ramp. There's no ramp access.

9 and Pembroke.

Yeah. Yeah. This is the two ramps. This one here and the other one

here in the middle of

the street. That's my concern. That it's it's a little bit out of the way from such a prominent corner.

I think you

have You could not reconfigure that front area to have a ramp.

This ramp is near to the corner. It's not too long because it

But it's not intuitive. Someone coming here for the first time, they wouldn't know that a ramp is back there.

It's almost near to the stair. I think it starts here, just when I have the

But that's just going into one tenant. Not going to the other tenants.

You say the ones around Pembroke?

Yes. That's what I'm saying is coming from the corner, how will someone get onto the front stores? You say they have to go all the way to the east to access that ramp.

Yes. We have a lot of hide there, so the ramp is large. If it starts, I think, here. I don't know if I can do something. The

ramp starts way in the east at the very edge. So coming from the corner, they have to wheel their wheelchair all the way to the east.

Yes, because, okay, we are working with the elevation points.

I understand that, yes, yes. But all I'm saying is it's a bit more convenient and intuitive if the ramp is clearly positioned more on the West.

If we work on a ramp starting here, for example, we will have, I don't know, like 45 feet of ramp there because this point is higher than this one. Oh. If you see the elevation point.

So you have more ramp to work? You have more ramp if you're going it on the West Side?

Exactly.

Okay. It's just not ideal. That's all. Any more questions? Yes.

Just a suggestion. The board could approve a condition where the applicant looks at redesigning it, and if it's not possible, incorporate signage at the stairs to direct people to the access. Do you

have any monument signs proposed? We can get your license with them.

Oh, okay. We need to see we need to see the the renderings. I don't know if I can go to it. Yeah. Yeah. We Yeah.

Don't have a monument sign.

No. No.

There is no monument sign on this one.

So none of proposed?

No. No proposed. No. Because it's three only three tenants facing all of them through the street, so their sign will be directly on top of their

I understand that, but seems that that corner is primed for a monument sign. And if it is, I'd like to know what it looks like. And if you're not proposing anything, then I would just say the condition says no punishment sign. Do you agree to that?

I think so. Yeah, we don't have a problem to not have a monument. Don't need the monument sign. We don't believe that for such a small it will obstruct the view or

Just for clarity, procedurally, if the applicant is gonna proffer that

Yes.

Then that would be their suggestion.

They agree to it.

We agree not to put it.

You're offering not to put it.

Not to put it.

Okay. Please speak into the mic.

Yes, we agree not to install the monument site.

Alright. Is the drive through, will it be a lot of twenty four hour drive through?

Ideally, yes. Yeah. We don't have the tenant yet, but ideally that's the idea, to have it.

How does the board feel about that, to allow a twenty four hour drive through? It's a conditional use, so.

Well I think, yeah.

Right, it could be a bank use, a service, it's not only restaurant. So if it's a bank, you will need an ATM to go there. So it could be a drive through, it's not food or restaurant use. It's a drive through use to be to be

defined What later the board is concerned about is if it's a restaurant use, the board seems to be concerned about the restaurant twenty four hour restaurant use as a drive through. Okay. That is the board's concern. Would you prefer that it not be a twenty four hour?

I don't I prefer to have a twenty four hour. Then the board have a concern.

You don't concern is a conditional use. You do not have a a permitted use for this for this drive through. The condition is that you are close to the residence. You have to consider mitigation measures to lower the impact of the residence. A twenty four hour restaurant drive through is an impact to the resident. Would be That's why I asked about the trees adjacent to the mall. You have no trees.

We agree on the twenty four hour restaurant not to be there, but if it's, like a bank or something that doesn't impact the community,

then we will We don't yeah. We're not concerned about a bank. We're concerned about a restaurant use being a twenty four hour. Agreed. Correct.

Okay. Mister mister Yes. So if this is a recommendation to commission, it needs to be more clear, like what time Yes.

They have to stop? And also what time I'm going to go back to them to say what time are they comfortable with, because they are proffering it based on our concern. So what time do you suggest? He

has to speak on the mic, sir. And can you state your name?

Solomon Sutton. Right now, I wouldn't have the exact time. If we can review it and we can agree or we need to or you need to have

That's for the time being, say, o'clock and took further discussions with the staff. So you continue to do that discussion with the staff as you move forward before city commission. Ten

to to what? I mean, open time as well.

I mean closing time, 10:00.

And what time can they open?

What time do you

open? I would say

6AM?

Six Six to ten.

Six to ten?

We, just to be clear, we're speaking solely about the drive thru. Correct.

That's a restaurant use. Yes. Correct. Okay.

If it's a restaurant use.

If it's a restaurant use.

Yes. And

So The drive through.

Yeah. I mean, later than 6AM for, you know, breakfast, assuming it starts to to me, starts to impact the restaurant itself. So, you know, ten to six works works for me. So Six to Or six to ten rather. Yeah. Six to ten.

So No.

Thinking thinking of a restaurant, we will be thinking on a coffee shop, on a place that will need to be open early and not to be open till late. That's that's ideally

So the concern that I had was the deliveries. Deliveries usually in the restaurant business will come early. Everybody wants their deliveries early in the morning. If you have people, on the the south side of the property, you know, you have residences, I think a duplex, single family, whatever, and trucks are trying to come in to with the noise to make the delivery, that's one question. Two, how are they gonna be delivering the food? Where is the receiving area for the drive for the restaurant? Because sometimes you can't pick the size truck you're gonna get from a large distributor like Over here. Cisco or okay.

That's the area for loading.

So how is it gonna get into in the restaurant?

The truck will get in here and then they will Okay. Roll it and cross it through here and get into the restaurant.

So the trucks are gonna be coming right by the south side where the

The trucks are gonna park here and then To the west side of property. Inside the property.

They're gonna come into the property.

Yeah. They will come into the property. They will park inside of the property on this section near to 9th Avenue and then walk with the deliveries to deliver to the

So if they have the you know, some of the distributors, Cheney, Brother, Cisco have large trucks, big semis. How are those gonna fit in here to make this delivery? Because they have frozen goods, dry goods. I mean, the way your restaurants where's your cooler? I mean, where are the cooler systems? Where's the doors to get into the restaurants?

It's not this side yet. But it should be in this area. Around this area

because it's different conditional use.

Of the restaurant.

Because you're going have to think of that.

Yes. That's basically the idea.

Yes. And the early morning time, I think, would be

No, that's an operational thing for them. Okay. Let's see if we can close this up. Any more questions or comments?

No. I guess I have a question for Steph on what we're discussing right now. On condition for use, it seems like the condition can be different whether the use will be a restaurant or it will be a bank. Those the are two examples given here. Are we able as a city to put those use conditions like with that?

I think I understand your question. So procedurally, what I understand the applicant is proffering is if it's for specifically for the conditional use on the driveway to offer a restriction that if the driveway is for restaurant use, that they would limit the hours from it would it would close from 10PM until until 6AM. But that is going to be a condition that they have proffered. And that's gonna be a recommendation for the city commission Yes. To consider in addition to the conditions that staff has proposed.

So I I don't know unless it's the board's pleasure that you wanna do it both ways, but I think affirmatively we've talked about the restaurant use. If you think that there's some other profit that needs to be done for anything that's non restaurant, I think the applicant has already given their testimony as to what their intended use is gonna be. So we can we can reframe it in a moment if there are no other questions from

the board. Okay. Back to the board. We are ready for motion. Do I hear a motion for application BD twenty five zero six zero three two for the major development review approval pursuant to section thirty two seventy two of the zoning and land development code to construct a proposed mixed use project. Is there a motion to approve?

I I move to approve with city conditions

and The conditions reside in number two.

Yeah. Right. With the conditions for number two

No. We just make a number one. So, we have a Is there a second?

I'll second it.

There's a motion, there's a second. All in approval say

aye. Aye.

Aye. Say aye. Do we have ayes?

Aye. Mr. Chair, just Any

opposition say nay? And this is

on the condition. Number one.

The major development review

Or you're doing the individual conditions as listed.

The conditions we're going to go on number two.

Alright, gotcha.

Okay. Number one, approved unanimously. Number two is written condition resides, application CU2506035 for conditional use permit pursuant to section thirty two two zero nine a to permit the drive thru component of the development. Alright. The conditions what I hear are if the proposed drive thru is restaurant, that the operation hours should be from 6AM to 10PM.

No, think you mean the drive thru shall be closed from ten p. M. To six a. M, right?

If there's a restaurant drive thru, you meant all drive throughs.

No. That's up that's up to the board. But if if the issue and the concern is noise, it that would not be limited to a restaurant.

So Okay. Fair. Then the condition shall be the drive thru component shall be closed between 10PM and 6AM daily.

Go ahead. So before

Even if it's bank? A

No. This was specifically with regard to restaurant use, you said, right?

If the conditioned use concern is any use coming in that has a disruption of the neighborhood, that is a drive through, that is out on the table. If it's a concern only for the restaurant, then that should be part of the motion. But I'm just putting that out for the board's clarity.

I I would not be concerned with a bank drive through.

I'm concerned about a bank drive through.

It closes

around 03:00. Right.

So well, the well, no. But the ATM is gonna be there twenty four hours. I still wouldn't be concerned with that. But if it is a restaurant, yes. I mean, I between a bank and a restaurant, I don't know who else uses a drive through. It's kinda hard to come up with conditions.

Okay. I hear the concern is only for restaurant. Let's go down from my left. Do we agree it's just a restaurant concern Are the drive thru hours?

I think it would depend if, you know, I mean, what it was medical marijuana, I don't know. Any traffic coming through, I think ten to 6AM is a good So

you want for all drive thrus?

Yeah.

Do you have a concern about limiting to restaurants or all drive throughs?

Restaurants.

All drive throughs?

Restaurant.

Restaurants only? You're restaurants only?

Yeah, I believe we should be specific if it's restaurant. And I don't know how to word it for the commission in the sense that because you wanted to word it any use that will affect the neighbors.

No, I'm just putting that on the table for the Board's consideration. I just need to have a majority vote to

move forward. So I understand. I agree to the restrictions if the use will end up being a restaurant.

Okay. Maker of the motion can clarify that motion, please.

Just before, if you'll help the board, we wanna make sure that the language of the proffer matches what the board is about to vote on. So if the applicant can just verify, what we heard was they had proffered a restriction on proposed restaurant use for the drive through, that the drive through be closed between the hours of 10PM and 6AM. That was the proffer that I think we heard. Is can the applicant affirm that that is the proffer? And if there's something different if there's something different, we wanna make sure there's clarity.

No. It's correct. That's a restaurant use.

Okay. So that is the proposed language that we have, mister chair. If there's if if if the board desires something different, this would be the time to amend the motion.

Okay. Can can we also put in requesting the commission to consider some sort of physical barrier to prevent left turns on leaving the property on 9th Avenue?

I'm not sure that's related to the drive thru component. Let's see if we can find that somewhere else. Maybe number three.

Okay.

Alright, so.

Okay, there's a motion on the table. There's a second based on the restaurant use being closed between 10PM and 6AM. Second. All approvals say aye. Aye. Any opposed say nay? That's fine. The directors show approve unanimously. Number three, application v 2506039 requesting variances from the following. A, regarding your permitted landscaping, and b, variance for interior landscaping. Is there a motion and condition spelled out?

I I move three and would like to add a recommendation to the commission that they put some sort of physical barrier to prevent left left turns coming out onto 9th Avenue.

So, mister chair, just because these are variances, if we can get that recommendation separate to the variance

request. Okay. Okay. We'll go back to number one later. Okay. So we have a variance on the table. Let's start with variance three a separately. Permitted landscaping is motion to approve. So moved. So moved, say aye. Aye. Any opposed, say nay. The directors shall approve unanimously. Next motion, application for the variance for interior landscaping. This is from five foot to allow five foot as opposed to seven foot. Is there a motion to approve?

So moved.

There's a motion to approve. Is there a second? Is there a second? Is there a second?

This is the variance with regard to the interior landscape buffer to go from

five feet. There's a second, ladies.

Sure, I'll second it.

There's a second. So all approval say aye. Aye. Any opposed say nay? No. Do I have Approved. Aye. Okay, approving anonymously. Back to do I hear a reconsideration for one. There's a major development review pursuant for the alignment code for the proposed mixed use development. We have a couple conditions you would like to consider. Do I hear a motion to reconsider that motion?

So move. Second.

No, you make the motion.

No. You

have to make the motion to I

make the motion to reconsider.

Is there a second? Second. The motion is second to reconsider number one. All in approval say aye. Aye. Aye. Okay, reconsidering the number one major development review, because you have a couple conditions for consideration, and I believe the applicant has proffered. Make up the motion.

I I would like to recommend to the commission that they include a physical barrier to prevent physically prevent people from making left turns onto ninth Avenue from the property. They can only turn to the right.

And I would like to also put on the record, the applicant has proffered no monument signs, And to work with staff about a ramp closer to the intersection of Pembroke and 9th Avenue. To work with staff. There's a motion on the table with those considerations. Is there a second? Yes, and all the other conditions by staff. Is there a second?

Second.

All approvals say aye. Aye. Any opposed say nay? The directors show you approved unanimously. Good luck, guys.

Next case regarding a rezoning of properties at 11112 Southeast 9th Street and 116118 Southeast 9th Street and 113 Southeast 9th Court from Central RAC RAC neighborhood to Central RAC transitional.

Staff. Good afternoon. One moment as the presentation is brought up.

Okay.

So the application is for the v Dixie rezoning. The applicant is v Dixie LLC and v Dixie two LLC. Again, this is for their rezoning at the properties located at 112 Southeast 9th Street, 116 To 118 Southeast 9th Street, and 113 Southeast 9th Court. The property is currently zoned RAC neighborhood, and the applicant is requesting to change it from the Central Regional Activity Center Rec Neighborhood Subdistrict to the Central Regional Activity Or Rec Transitional Mixed Use Subdistrict. So this is kind of what the breakdown looks like.

The height, the density is remaining the same for the most part. Setbacks are relatively the same. Rec neighborhood, there's a range of setbacks. It varies by the building type. For transitional mixed use, there's moderate setbacks simply to buffer adjacent residential uses.

The main or primary difference that we see is the uses allowed. RAC neighborhood would only allow for residential uses, whereas the transitional mixed use subdistrict allows for multifamily residential uses and an array of commercial uses. I do wanna point out there's no formal plans. They've been submitted to the city for development review, but the applicant has indicated that future redevelopment is intended to be a mixed use. The application was reviewed for consistency with the following criteria, and staff has found the application to be compliant with the standards and criteria per section 32 dash nine six three for rezoning. Staff recommends that the planning and zoning board consider the request and forward a recommendation of approval to the city commission.

Can you go back to the area, please? And thank you for the presentation.

Of course.

Was there anything ever on this property?

No. So the property's presently vacant. I believe it's been vacant.

It's always been vacant?

There's a single family home, and there's two structures.

That's been demolished or is still there?

They're still there.

Yes, sir. Do you need for the record?

Shan, s h a n. I'm with the ownership group. Yeah. On the property currently is a single family home and a duplex. They're rented and occupied. They won't be demolished until we are further along in a development proposal and are ready to submit for building permits.

Okay. Back to the board. Any questions for the staff at this time?

I mean, it's quite clear, I just, change does not allow any higher building?

No, so the height and the density remains the same.

I do have a question also. I understand that this change is because of the request of the applicant on this specific property. Yes. But did the city consider, like, because if we change that property and the reason is to allow more users developed. Once we have that behind the road, why wouldn't we also consider or evaluate independently as the city the use of the zoning of that corner lot? Am I explaining myself?

Yes. So this is an applicant driven application. They have the right to rezone property that they own. The city is actually looking at this area holistically. And we will most likely be introducing a new subdistrict for this overall area between Dixie US one south of Bluestone Park. So we are looking at holistically. What they are doing does not interfere with what we are proposing in the future, but we don't generally look at rezoning other properties because one applicant requested theirs to be rezoned.

Absolutely, but you did answer my question. Yes. Thank you.

Any more questions? The applicant, do you have anything to add? Your name for the record? Thank you, Ed.

Thank you, mister chairman, board members. Ed Stacker. I'm with Schutz and Bowen, in Fort Lauderdale here on behalf of, the applicant, along with Robert Shan. We, think that this makes much location and adjacent to Old Federal, which is already transitional. And, we have reviewed staff's report and we would encourage you to recommend move this forward to the commission recommending approval.

Thank you. Anything to add?

No. Only that, as I said, you know, think it's in keeping with the neighborhood. Given that that my group owns, you know, the totality of these lands, including the transitional mixed use on on the Southwest of of what we're asking to be rezoned, it gives us a continuous zoning to be able to look at a proper mixed use development. And so by having the rezoning in place, we can then engage the architects and really begin to think about a development that would fit in with the texture and the fabric of really what's been happening in the Southwest.

So can you show us in this map which of the properties you own specifically? Let's start with the one that's dashed.

Sorry.

It's like my remote at home. Everyone wants to behave. This one. There we go. Right. So the lands that were were requested to be rezoned are hatched. The additional lands that we own, which are adjacent, are bounded by, Southeast, 9th Court and and Federal Highway. So this parcel in here. So we have this we have these contiguous lands in total. So

that color is the proposed color for the rezoning. Correct? Correct. Okay. It used to be yellow.

It used to be it would correct.

Okay.

Existing zoning is racked, as as staff has said, same height, same density, same density bonuses. It's really the commercial use. I think there's some small changes to setbacks, but it's really, given the the the commercial use and therefore allowing, you know, a true mixed use development that we can plan for the totality of the lands.

Okay. How much land is that?

1.24 acre 1.26 acres in total.

And the, yellow land, would that single families, I take it? The yellow to the to the east of that property? Yellow

to the east. What's their?

I I think it's duplexes and small apartments, So I

it's duplexes. Okay.

Yeah.

And it's presently you don't own that?

We don't own that. It's rented. It's occupied by a long term owner.

Thank you.

Okay, at this time I'd to open the public hearing. Members of the public would like to speak for or against? Seeing none, any comments?

No public speakers, no.

The public hearing back to the board. Is there a motion if there are no discussion?

Let me just I can say one thing first.

Yes, sir. A

little while ago, we had a proposal come before us to rezone a property that we voted down partially because there was no plans with it to what what are they gonna do? They just wanted us to rezone it, and then they'll decide what to do. I was one of the ones voting voting no on it. And part in that property, it greatly raised the height allowance for part of the property that they wanted to rezone. Here so I just wanna make why sort of similar proposals actually aren't.

The the fact that we're only changing what is allowed on the property, we're not the building height isn't being changed, so the surrounding properties are not gonna all of a sudden be facing buildings that are twice as tall as they thought they'd be. So I I I just wanted to this is different from a previous proposal to us. I just wanted to bring that out just in case.

Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve?

Motion to approve.

There's a motion. There's is there a second? There's a motion. There's a second. All the rules say aye. Aye. Any opposed say nay? Let the record show you approve unanimously. Good luck, guys. I agree. I'd like to see the project when you come forward for rezoning. But in spite of that, you're just having additional commercial uses, which I agree. So bring forward a project ASAP. Next case c, this is including the year amendment changes to include a ten year water supply. Staff, you have the floor.

Oh, wait a minute. Shouldn't it be c?

That looks like b. Right?

That was b. Yes.

Oh, yeah. You're on c.

Now we're going to c. Okay. Are we ready? No. No. Here we go.

Alright. So the next item here before you today is the city's evaluation and appraisal report, better known as EAR. The EAR is a comprehensive plan amendment which incorporates updates identified through the city's evaluation and appraisal review, and it's looking to adopt the ten year water supply facilities work plan as required by Florida statutes. The amendments update the comprehensive plan to reflect current conditions, statutory requirements, and revised goals, objectives, policies, and maps. A little background on this is that the ERA is a state mandated process requiring local governments to periodically update their comprehensive plans to address changes in local conditions and state law.

On 07/15/2025, the planning and zoning board recommended approval of the air based amendments to the city commission. And on 08/20/2026, the city commission approved the amendments on first reading for transmittal to Florida Commerce for review. The current situation the current situation that we're looking at is that Florida Commerce issued comments regarding provisions that may be considered more restrictive under chapter 2,025 dash one nine zero, which temporarily limits the adoption of more restrictive land development regulations and disaster effective jurisdictions. The city has repaired responses clarifying that the amendments are consistent with state requirements and do not create prohibited restrictions. Restrictions.

Concurrently, the public works department has also completed the 2026 update to the ten year water supply plan as required by Florida statutes. This update was not due at the time of the original air based amendments when they were transmitted to the state. The prior amendment cycle was withdrawn, and the amendments are now being reheard by the board, incorporating the updated water supply facilities work plan. So some general updates is that we reformatted the document for improved readability and style. We updated data maps, tables, and supporting data as necessary.

We incorporated required statutory and legislative updates, added policies addressing state mandates and local planning goals, as well as removed outdated references and redundant content. So we're currently at the stage of the adoption process where we're looking at planning and zoning board hearing. Following this hearing, it will be recommended to city commission for first reading, and that's scheduled for 06/22/2026. It will then go to state agency review within ten days of the first reading, and lastly, goes to city commission for second reading, and that data is to be determined. Staff recommends that the planning and zoning board recommend approval of the proposed ordinance to the city commission for transmittal to Florida commerce as required by Florida statutes.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

So, we also have the consultants for DPW that will do a presentation on the water supply plan as well.

Take it away. Before they do, just real quick. In that now I don't know if that was just on these slides or actually in the presentation, but you had the city commission approving something that won't won't be on a date that won't be for another three months. I think that meant to be 2025. Yeah. It's 2026. If all it was was these slides, I don't think that's an issue. But if it's actually in the somewhere

You're looking at the presentation.

Yeah. I'm saying if that's all it was, then fine. If you know, then, you know, I just wanna make sure we're not you know, it's something official. It's not saying it was approved August of twenty twenty twenty six.

So that's the date that we have slated for the first reading is June 22.

No. There's a typo in the presentation. It was approved on first reading twenty five.

So it's just a typo Just in the presentation. It's not okay. That that's alright. Just in the presentation. That's not a problem. Okay.

Good catch.

Thank you. Janine McRiffey with Hasten and Sawyer. Thank you for having us here this evening. Good to know if there's an error in the presentation. It's just an error in the presentation.

Thank you. So tonight, we'll, talk about the ten year water supply plan, what is the water supply facilities work plan, the district, Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan update, what that is, and then in particular, what is Hallandale Beach Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2026 update. Water supply facilities work plan is something that is required by chapter one sixty three of the Florida statutes, part two of the Florida statutes. The plan is to document how, the city will ensure adequate water supply to meet the forecast of population growth. The Houndrel Beach City's water supply facilities work plan update was completed in February of this year.

A summary of the key findings of this document are presented in section three of the presentation tonight. Hazen and the city's consultant Coradino collaborated to ensure that the align the water supply plan aligned with the comprehensive plan amendments, which are your EAR based amendments. The district's, 2023 to 2024 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan update, this is conducted every five years. If you scan this QR code, you'll be able to go straight to the website and, pick up all of the South Florida Water Management District plans. Every time they adopt the plan, they require that the cities update their water supply facilities work plan within eighteen months of that adoption date, So we're very close to that date now.

This applies to all of Palm Beach County, Broward County, Miami Dade County, and portions of Monroe, Collier, and Hendrie Counties. The Hounda Beach water supply facilities work plan 2026 update, was completed earlier this year, and it defines the plan of water supply and water treatment expansion for the city, to meet two particular goals. The first is to comply with the PFAS rule, which is a transition to 100% membrane treatment for the city, and goal two is to define the capital improvements required to meet the expected population growth. The water supply and treatment capital improvements required to meet these goals was presented to the Commission earlier this year on January 7, and if you scan this QR code, you can go to that presentation directly. The city's water service area includes all of the city of Hallandale Beach.

The city's population is anticipated to grow from the current population of roughly 43,100 to a build out population in year two thousand and fifty of 60600. The water plant currently uses two different treatment nanofiltration membranes and lime softening. This is shown on the city's site plan. The Lyme softening technology is a very, very old technology. Since the early 1900s, this has been used.

It was constructed at Hallandale Beach in the 1950s, and the city has miraculously kept it operating for all of this time and is operating to this day with a design capacity of about 10 MGD. Very low cost, highly effective treatment for water, very common in South Florida on the Biscayne Aquifer. Membrane treatment was constructed for the city in the early 2000s. This was designed because the city entered into agreement with Broward County and received water from the Piccolo Well Field, the Broward County South Regional Well Field, and that water was much higher in organics, still higher in organics, total organic carbon, color, iron, and needed membrane treatment to be able to produce the same clear water that you were producing through your lime softening. So this was designed in the early 2000s, built in 2007.

We designed it at the time with two skids installed, three MGD each for a total design capacity of six MGD, but we, at the time, what we called drought proofed the facility to be able to build more skids in the future to treat Floridan aquifer water, thinking that there would be limitations on the Biscayne Aquifer, and so that's why your plant is expandable to up to 13 MGD. When we talk about the aquifer, we'll just show a cut real quick. The Biscayne Aquifer is about 100 plus feet underneath us, so it's very shallow, very easy to pump from, very low distance to pump from. Here your wells are very low organics, low iron, very easy to treat which is why lump softening has worked so well on them for so many years. And then the Florida Aquifer is more like 1,000 feet instead of the 100 feet that the Biscayne Aquifer is, so much more difficult to pump out of.

The two sources of water right now for the city are both coming from the Biscayne. Again, it's the city's wells. The city owns five wells presently, primarily pumps out of the newest well which is Production Well 9, and then of course out of the Broward County wells which is received from a pipeline from the Piccolo Well field. The city's use of the Biscayne Aquifer is limited by what the district calls the water use permit, so the South Florida Water Management District has imposed a total limit on the city wells of 4.03 MGD, which again goes to lime softening, and from the county of 4.26, which goes to nanofiltration treatment. So if you add those two together, you would have a total withdrawal allocation of 8.29 MGD.

The first question is can we get more water out of the Biscayne? Seems to be better water, cheaper, easier to treat. That would be fantastic, but the Biscayne Aquifer is fully allocated and we are not able to withdraw anymore from the Biscayne Aquifer. So right now, you have sufficient treatment capacity to meet your current demand. You're doing that on a regular basis, but the city decided late last year that you wanted to be in control of your own destiny, not purchase water from anyone else, and so you decided to design and construct Florida and aquifer water supply and treatment facilities to meet the future demand.

This graph is just resembling the fact that you will have, you have enough finished water production capacity, you have enough right now between the ten mgd of lime softening and the six mgd of membrane. There'll be a little dip while you're taking lime softening offline and bringing on membrane skids, but you will still have enough production capacity to meet the future finished water demand forecast. And that's not just the average day that's shown in blue, that's the max day. So you have to have enough installed capacity to meet the maximum day required of each year for the future through 2050 build out. So there are several key projects that would need to be constructed to do this.

The good news is that you've just completed the construction of RO Skid 1. We call this RO, it's reverse osmosis. It is actually going to be presently used to treat the Biscayne aquifer supply that you have as a redundant skid. It's what we call a flexible skid. So in the future, you're presently under design for the second RO skid, again flexible to treat Biscayne or Floridan aquifer once Floridan's constructed.

And then you have RO skid three which is a future project you have on your CIP but you'll need to construct in the future. We have target dates there, the Floridan wells, there's a proposal under review to start designing the Floridan wells and then ultimately you would also need another injection well if you want to have a backup for your current injection well which we advise or you would have to do some significant improvements in your sanitary sewer instead. The and there's other projects, the generator number two addition, all of these again have been planned out near CIP to meet your customers' needs through 2050. So the good news, the conclusion is that the city is in a stable near term position, but you do need to continue on the track that you've planned. You need to take proactive phased actions now to ensure reliable, compliant, and sustainable water supply for the future growth.

Any

questions?

Good presentation. Agreed.

Thank you.

Okay, questions. Let's start from my right.

I have just a curiosity question. If the aquifer is already allocated in full, where is that additional supply coming from?

So the Biscayne aquifer, the aquifer that's more along the 100 feet depth, that one's been fully allocated, and this is what the district does in their water supply plans. They maintain the totals, and and so now the city has said that the city will venture into the Floridan aquifer, which is much deeper, greater than a thousand feet deep. So that's the aquifer.

Yes.

But excuse me, it does require testing. It does, you know, the first proposal is to look at two wells, get that data, determine what the what's called total dissolved solids is of that water, how easy or difficult it will be to treat. You know, there's a lot of unknowns going into the Floridan Aquifer

I'm assuming it was already been done by other cities?

Yes, by many other cities. Your neighbor Hollywood has been operating Floridan Aquifer successfully for many years, as have others, yes. Thank you. Yes, thanks.

A couple of questions. A few years ago, know there was concern over saltwater intrusion into the world. Still

a concern. Still a concern. So when we talk about those, it's a great question. When we talk about those flexible reverse osmosis skids, that's why those were designed as reverse osmosis because there was a recognition that your city wells are quite subject to saltwater intrusion, and so the skids are designed so that they can handle a much higher salinity raw water than what the nanofiltration skids see. So reverse osmosis can handle a higher total dissolved solids, total salinity. It'll be a higher pressure skid if those wells should go salty. So it gives you some flexibility.

Okay, the wells themselves are within the city limits?

Correct, correct.

Okay, there's not a whole So the Floridian well, will that also be in the city limits?

Our hope is that it will be. We have located some preliminary locations. They need to be studied. The closer that the wells are to the plant, the cheaper the project will be for you because you'll have less of a pipeline to run as well as the actual development of the wells during construction will be cheaper because you'll have a means of disposing of that water. Is Houndrel's a geographically small city, so it is it is a And good built out. And built out. Yes. Yes.

So And, this is just pie in the sky and just something I just read a couple days ago, But apparently, San Diego has a massive saltwater, a plant to transfer makes drinking water out of saltwater that is wildly successful.

Right.

Is that no. Obviously, the city of Hallandale can't do something like that. But is South Florida combined, even probably Broward County isn't big enough. Well, I guess it's bigger than San Diego. But is that something that maybe is being considered, talked about, thought about within the area?

It's been talked about for many years. So there there was Okay.

Seriously talked

about Well, there there was a pretty serious study many years ago that was co locating desalination facilities along electrical generating facilities, right, so that you could have some benefits of having the two together. That has never materialized mostly because as you can see, there's not a lot of regionalization in the Broward County system. There's many, many utilities that have their own water plant, so there's very independent systems, so the ability to regionalize like that and build some large scale facility just has never manifested itself here. But desalination is very similar to what you do at your plant. You operate a reverse osmosis plant, you're just operating at much, much lower pressures, much, much lower salinity.

Salinity on the order of 4,000 instead of 20,000 plus, so it's a difference. So it's much less costly to operate your system.

Okay.

Are you familiar with our water rates or that's not part of the study?

It is not part of Hazen's task, no.

Any more questions? Okay, did I open the public hearing? Public hearing for the comprehensive plan. Any speakers from the public would like to speak for or against? Seeing none, I close the public hearing. Back to the board. This is a legislative matter to amend the decompressive plan based on the evaluation appraisal report, particularly the ten year water supply facilities work plan.

So moved, chair.

There's a motion, is there a second?

Second. Second.

There's second all approval say aye. Aye. Any opposed say nay? Yes,

Clarify the motion and the second. The second was?

Dick somebody.

And who motion?

I did.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

All approval unanimously. Thank you very much.

Very good presentation. Thank you.

Wow, that's quite a team. An evaluation report is a lot of work, so I want to commend staff for your hard work. Last item is the changing the committee for city district to revise the purpose and intent. Staff, you have the floor.

Alright, hello everybody. Good evening. So I'm presenting our amendment for the CF community facility zoning District.

Your name for the record.

Oh, sorry. My name is Zane. I'm the planning intern here, Zane Kermes. Alright. So the request is an amendment to the code to amend section 32 dash one one five five, the CF Community Facility District.

Last year, December of last year, the Urban Land Institute presented a conceptual redevelopment vision for the City Hall site, the site we're on now. After the presentation, city staff had reviewed the land development code that exists and determined that the existing zoning district, which the City Hall site falls under, does not permit residential or commercial uses, which were part of their proposition. However, the City Hall site does have a future land use designation of regional activity center. A variety of uses, commercial and residential, are permitted within the RAC land use, even though not in the CF Zoning District. So amendments to the permitted and conditional use provisions of the CF District would allow for residential and certain commercial uses at the City Hall site without a rezoning.

So the existing purpose and and intent of the CF Community Facility District is to provide suitable sites for public and quasi public community facilities serving surrounding residential neighborhoods in areas consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. Currently, that purpose and intent does not include other uses such as residential or commercial development. Alright. So for the proposed amendment, it would amend section 32 dash 155 to add the following as conditional uses. Multifamily dwellings provided the underlying future land use designation permits residential density, which the RAC future land use designation does, Offices, public parking facilities, restaurants, and general retail stores and services as an accessory use to developments containing multi family dwelling units, and crematoriums as an accessory use to cemeteries, are an existing use of CF.

It also amends the development standards. Currently, the development standards of CF are fairly restrictive as very large setbacks. This would authorize city commission to approve reductions to minimum setback requirements and would also authorize city commission to increase the maximum building height to the highest permitted within a distance of 1,000 feet of the parcel. Here are all the affected parcels, so parcels that meet the criteria and would be affected. Obviously, see city hall site down in the mirror in the center of

the image

provided, and then you also see a few other labeled ones throughout the city. These are only CF properties that are zoned for a community facility and have a future land use of a regional activity center or Iraq. Staff recommends the planning and zoning board forward a recommendation of approval to the city commission.

That's it. This

is very technical. Any questions to staff?

Just a curiosity. When you threw in the part about crematoriums, I assume the cemetery was part of it. But according to this, the cemetery is doesn't apply to that. So what would be the purpose of putting in crematoriums?

The the cemetery is an existing use of CF. So it's just for

because you just showed the first you showed the South Side Of Foster Park as CF, not not the So let me not the cemetery property.

Let me clarify. So this this image specifically shows CF properties that if this amendment was to pass, be eligible for residential development.

Oh, okay.

That's all this shows. Oh, okay. So I I know crematoriums is a little off based on what the ordinance is about.

Oh, no.

The cemetery is right there.

Yes. But recently, as we were actually drafting this ordinance, we got a phone call from someone asking where the city permits crematoriums. Her code is silent on crematoriums. There's language in our code about where uses that the code is silent on how we identify the district they would be permitted in. Based on our analysis, it would be permitted in other districts, so we are putting this in the code to clarify that crematoriums belong with cemeteries. This is just a cleanup. It just happened that as we were drafting this, we got that very odd phone call.

Are they coming with one?

Not anymore.

Okay. Mobile crematorium. I

have a question.

Yes,

ma'am. Based on the change in the or the being able to put residential, can this change be impacted by the new Live Local laws? Because you're able to put residents and if someone said, I'd rather build, and they have to do that 40% affordable housing, or because I know there's new laws, and I'm not sure how that may Possibly. Impact if this has

However, these are all, except for one parcel, controlled by the city. So it's not really an issue. But it's a conditional use. I'm not sure if LiveLocal would allow it if it's conditional. But even so, all except for one property is controlled by the city. Right.

Okay, this time I'd like to open up for public hearing. Any members of the public like to speak for or against? Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing. Back to the board.

Motion to approve.

There's a motion to approve. There's a second?

Second.

There's a motion. There's a second all approval say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed say nay? The director shall approve unanimously. Very good job. Thank you very much. Remarks by the chair. Have no remarks.

I'd like to ask something if you may. Just Can you stop back? No. No. Well, Christy, actually actually it'd

be more

Christy, just where Hollywood is considering and very serious almost increasing their height density along Federal Highway all the way from all the way to Pembroke Road. Are are we at all talking with Hollywood or thinking about doing something similar to what they are. No. And because I mean, it would be dab you know, you know, I mean, I realize we're I think we're already, what, 10 or 15 stories along along Federal there.

No. We're not we're not proposing to change or

Oh, I'm

not saying we're it right now, but just maybe talking you know, seeing what Hollywood is doing and to somehow make it seamless.

Not at this time.

Because I mean, you know. Those

residents redevelopment along Pembroke Road, are they from two different developers or the same developer? The three story No, they're different developers. Oh, very interesting that they're coming together and

Are you referring to the one tonight and what's the other one?

Yes, if they connected to the other. It seems that they're being built at the same time.

Which project are you referring to?

On Pembroke Road on the city side, course. There's commercial below that they're actually finishing up, two or three stories of residential. Oh,

yeah, no that's further down. The project that came before you a few years ago.

Oh, came before us two

years ago.

Yeah. That's Margo. I believe that was a CRA Okay.

So I have
