Present. Very good. Madam director, do we have any additions, deletions, or deferrals this evening for the LPA agenda? Nope? Alright. So we have the minutes from the 05/28/2025 meeting before us. Do we have a motion to approve those minutes as presented? Moved by board member Ross, seconded by board member Bailey. There are no questions or comments. All in favor? Any opposed? All right. Mr. Attorney?

Yes, mayor. You have one quasi judicial hearing on the agenda this evening for consideration. Please be advised that this item is quasi judicial in nature. If you wish to comment upon any of these items, please indicate the item number you would like to address when the announcement regarding the quasi judicial item is made. An opportunity for persons to speak on this item will be made available After the applicant and staff have made their presentations on this item, swearing in, all testimony, including public testimony and evidence, will be made under oath or affirmation.

Additionally, each person who gives testimony may be subject to cross examination. If you do not wish to either be cross examined or sworn, your testimony will be given its due weight. The general public will not be permitted to cross examine witnesses, but the public may request the local planning agency to ask questions of staff or witnesses on their behalf. Full agenda packet on this item is hereby entered into the record. Persons representing organizations must present evidence with their authority to speak on this item, and further details of the quasi judicial procedures may be obtained from the clerk in accordance with code section two-five 90.

Any lobbyists must register before addressing the LPA. At this time, LPA members must disclose any ex parte communications concerning this item on the agenda.

All right. I would think that we've all had ex parte communications regarding the rezoning of city Hall site with staff and probably those who pay or expect to benefit from that.

So at this time, I would ask the clerk to swear in any persons who wish to testify on this quasi judicial item. So anyone in the audience who's wishing to speak on this item, please stand, raise your right hand to be sworn by the clerk.

Do you testify to say everything all the truth and nothing but the truth? You may have a seat.

So card number 4736 tab number two is an ordinance of the city of Homestead, Florida approving the rezoning as requested by the city of an approximately 32.23 acre parcel of land from government property GP Zoning District to retail commercial B2 Zoning District or the property generally located at 70790 North Homestead Boulevard as legally described Exhibit A, providing for conflict, severability and providing for an effective date.

Thank you, sir. Do staff have anything to add to this item?

No. The rezoning is consistent. The proposed zoning B2 is consistent with the existing land use that is light commercial use and the rezoning complies is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan.

Thank you. Are there any questions or comments from this board? Moved by Board Member Ross, seconded by Board Member Bailey. That's it. Okay. If there are no further comments from this board, I'll ask for a roll call vote on this first reading of this item.

Board member Canavan? Yes. Board member Ross? Yes. Board member Davis? Yes. Board member Bailey? Board member Avila? Yes. Vice Chairman Fletcher? Yes. Chairman Lawson?

Yes. Alright. Very good. Anything further, madam director? Nothing further? Mr. Attorney, anything further for this agenda?

Nothing at this time, Mr. Chair.

All right. Move to adjourn. Moved and seconded. All in favor? Aye. This local planning agency meeting is now adjourned and we will finally move into, I believe, the regular council agenda, but I think we have to wait until 06:00. Is that correct, mister Pearl? Yeah. Let's do that anyway. Alright. We will we will convene the regular council meeting at 6PM, about eleven minutes.
