only thing I have to say on O'Reilly Auto Parts is that there's no sign on that address. And in the future, I wish you'd say that in the paperwork on it, because I drove all over the place looking for that store, and it's not there.

New business public hearings, PH twenty twenty six-one. The purpose of this public hearing is to provide tax amendments to the future land use, conservation, and infrastructure elements of the city's comprehensive plan related to and inclusive of the required update to the ten year water supplies facility work plan. I see no members of the public who wish to speak about this item. Joe, would you like to say something?

Joe Yaczek, Assistant Director of Planning and Economic Development. I just gave you all, on the screen here, a brief presentation on the water supply plan update. The purpose of the update is to amend the water supply plan. This is required by this I think I broke something. Whatever. This is required by the state of Florida every ten years. So this is actually a utilities department function. And you'll see the report that you have in front of you. It's a highly technical report. The portion that planning is involved in is the update to the comprehensive plan, which is in front of you tonight.

These are the amendments to the comprehensive plan elements in order to be consistent with the new ten year water supply plan. And both the water supply plan and the elements have been reviewed by South Florida Water Management District as well as the city engineer. And so here's the key findings for the water supply plan. In short, it says that for the next ten years we have enough water. We do not need an alternative water supply needed for the next ten years.

An alternative water supply would be an alternative source in case we did not have enough water, but we clearly have enough water. And so the comprehensive plan updates. So we've told you what the report does. The comprehensive plan updates actually acknowledge the new plan in our elements. It updates the planning horizon. So in plans, the we've had items that said, Okay, we have enough water until 2030. Now we have enough water till 2035. We have to kind of update that in our plan. It talks about updated levels of service standards. There's areas in our comp planning.

So there's areas in our comp plan that talk about the per capita consumption that the city has, which has to be updated in our comp plan. The amount of treatment that we do to our water, it's also included in the comp plan. And that also has to be updated. And then we ultimately, in the infrastructure portion element, we actually have to adopt the actual actual plan itself and incorporate it in there as an appendice. And so staff recommendation is that the planning and zoning board transmit this with a favorable recommendation to the city commission.

You're seeing this because you're the local planning agency. And this will go to the city commission via ordinance. So that means there will be two readings at city commission. After approval from city commission, this will move to the Florida Department of Commerce and the Broward County Planning Council. They will review it, let us know that everything's Okay. And then after that, it will go into our comp plan. So if you have any questions, I'm here to answer as best I possibly can.

Do I need to close the public hearing?

If no one has questions, yes, you do have to close the public hearing and open the regular item. Okay. So I have to

close it by a vote? Yes. Okay. Do I have a motion to close the public hearing?

Make a motion to close the public hearing. Second.

Motion by Member Goldich, second by Member Ginsal. All those in favor?

Aye. And just for the audience, everyone, there is no one from the public here tonight.

I know.

The only question I have is reading through it, there's a lot of strikeouts. There's a lot of changes. And also referrals back to 2004, 2005 changes that were made. Are all those before that's presented at the city commission, I'm assuming all that's going to be taken care of and

The strike through and underlines are the actual items that we are. Right. Correct. So those will all be taken care of.

When it says infrastructure, that section,

point of order, can we please open the transmittal portion so that you can ask your questions?

So right now, just closed the public hearing. So we'll reopen the item itself for more discussion.

All righty. Do we have a motion to let's see. That would be PH2026001, a motion to submit this to the city with a favorable

One moment. I apologize. So we just closed the public hearing. So we're rehearing the item right now. So with your acceptance, we'll move on to the item itself.

Okay. But like Heidi had a question. This is where Heidi gets to ask her questions. And if Goldich has any more questions, this is now where you all get to. All right.

Hit it, Heidi. I'm

trying to remember what my

I apologize. It's just procedure. Just have to make sure we try to keep

GREGORY We've never done this before. DELL: No. I was trying to get to the area. So when it talks about the infrastructure element, what's the difference between the infrastructure and then the service area? I'm a little confused. What exactly is meant by infrastructure in this context?

Can you give me a location where you're talking about this?

I was in the five and six area, the IE support document three. But I don't know. I mean, I think infrastructure is discussed elsewhere. It's not specifically about this. It's just kind of a general

Well, remember, our infrastructure element talks about our water supply. It also talks about our roads and other facilities within the city. And so the infrastructure element is something that we have to is one of the elements that we have, including potable water and sewer and other elements here that are required by the state of Florida. So we have to talk about our goals and our goals to maintain concurrency and other items related.

But does the infrastructure refer to everything what the water is transporting, what water is held what exactly is the infrastructure referring to in the context of what you're doing here?

So the water supply plan, this talks about the actual potable water for the city.

So

that we have enough potable water for the city and we have enough facilities in place to continue supplying water without interruption for the next ten years.

So you're talking about pipes and

GREGORY It could be pipes. It could be facilities. Again, it's pumping the water. It's actually having the water source. It's actually having the facility that can pump the water and keep the capacity going for based on the consumption that's provided. So there's a consumption number in there. I think it's like 81 or 82 gallons per capita per day or something like that, I believe, what

the Okay. Any other questions on number six? Any other Well,

I didn't really get the answer. I'm trying to get to, is it relevant for this purpose to discuss it at all security on infrastructure?

Not at this time. This particular item we can talk about other items when we update our comp plan. We make an update to the comp plan, if it requires this element. But this specific thing that we're doing tonight is a requirement by the state

to do So annual portion of

I'd stay focused, obviously, on this particular portion. But there may be elements within the comprehensive plan where if you were talking about different maybe security, maybe something else, whatever it might be, There may be some elements in there or goals and objectives that potentially we could look at it in the future when we go to update our plan that may be important for the city to incorporate.

Right. Yeah, I was just wondering if there was any part of this would be relevant to. Because I'll tell you what made me think of it and why I didn't call you before, because I just heard about this this afternoon, was that in the city of Mobile, Alabama, is only a little bit larger than Pembroke Pines I thought it was much larger, but it's not they just found yesterday an IED in their reservoir, a live IED. And so that started me thinking. I just found out, heard about it today.

And so that started me thinking about security.

Yeah, don't know in particular if the infrastructure element or any of the other elements specifically talk about that. But like I said, if in the future

And it wouldn't be introduced as part of this?

No. No, because this specific

DELL: towards this GREGORY For delivery of the

For the delivery of the water. However, like I said, in the future, if there are any concerns and we come back and we start doing a comprehensive plan update, then that's when we would reach out to you guys via survey, via everything else. Because the items that are in here right now were previous priorities and previous policies and requirements, some requirements by the state at a different time. So one day we will come to you all with an update, and then we'll do the survey document and everything else. And these issues, if they become new issues with us, they may be ways in which we can incorporate it into the document itself.

Right. Yeah. I mean, think we should prioritize.

Well, I'm pretty sure that our city's water security is well taken care of.

Any other comments on PH twenty twenty six with other board members? No.

I'll make a motion to transmit a favorable proposal to the city commission.

Do I have just a second?

Second. Second.

First, remember Goldich, second from was it Rosalie? Yeah. Yeah. Rosalie Labate. All those in favor? Aye. Motion passes unanimously. Okay, now we have another public hearing, but there's no public hearing. So do we have to do it anyway?

Yeah, so this one's less of a

PH2026-two.

Madam Chair.

Text amendments to the future land use to add additional permissible uses within the agricultural land use category.

Okay, just a quick one here. I don't have a great presentation, but this is pretty self explanatory. In the comprehensive plan, we have certain land uses. And agricultural land use is the one we're focusing on today. The city is required to be consistent with the county as far as the land uses that are allowed there.

The city can be more restrictive, but they cannot be less restrictive. We've been going over our agricultural use, and we realize that there are two uses that are not in our agricultural land use right now that the county allows communications facilities and then public utilities. And you guys all have in the background that strike through and underline as to what we want to add. We want to add those two particular uses. So I'm here if you have any questions.

Can I have a motion to close the public hearing? I'll make a motion to

close the public hearing. Second.

Motion by Member Alois, second by Member Lavege.

Motion passes

unanimously. I will say that the city commission had a budget meeting and a waste management meeting on April 29. And they're looking into just starting to look into using anaerobic bacteria And to degrade if they did that, you wouldn't have a burning plan out west. They'd recycle the things they can recycle, and the rest would be turned into gas, which could be sold to other companies. It's kind of interesting, and they're just starting to look into it.

And Mayor Casillo had a bunch of hell no things hell no smell, hell hell no noise. He had a couple others. And he and some of the commissioners are going to take a trip to a town that has it already and see how it works and also talk to the residents. So it's kind of early stages of

looking So you know this amendment would assist in moving that item forward. This would not give anybody the right to do this.

Point of order, can we open the item before we keep discussing it?

We'll make the motion

open. Second.

Are we opening or closing? What are we doing? Opening number eight, PH2020. Purpose of transmitter recommendation to provide certain tax amendments, additional permissible uses with agricultural land use category.

So as I was saying, this would assist in this item moving forward. This does not mean that this is allowed by right. There's a lot of other things that have to happen here. Property probably would have to be rezoned, again, depending on whether they move forward with it or they don't move forward with it. The most important thing here to understand is this doesn't matter just to that property. It matters to all agricultural properties within the city, which are very limited amounts left over. There's the Bruder facility, and there's a couple other smaller items.

And if you'd like to see the video of it, it's online and it's about halfway through the because the first part is budget. Anyways, it's pretty interesting.

I don't have anything on this. Do we need? A motion

So approve again, thing as before.

Motion to transmit a recommendation to the

with a favorable recommendation.

I move that we submit to the city commission with our approval.

Do I have a second? I'll second this. Motion by Member Labate, second by Member Doris Gonzalez. All those in favor?

Aye. Aye.

Aye. Thank you. Alrighty. On the new business, number 9, ZV2026-two was withdrawn by the client and SP2026-five. So that is the end of our agenda. Do I have a motion to accept the withdrawal? We don't, right? I do a motion that we adjourn.

It's a formality. I mean, it's up to the chair, but it's not legally required.

I can't hear you. It's up to you. It's not legal to you. Then we'll not do it, Okay? Any comments from the board? Do we have an excused absence from Zacharias, Cheryl?

I haven't heard anything, but he's not going to be here.

Do we know about board night yet?

So yes, believe board night's the first Wednesday of the month. I think that's June 3. So I believe that it would be nice. The chair I know will be there, but But if any of the other members want to be there to support the chair, that's fine. I believe that it's at 05:30. Is it at 05:30? She's checking. Usually before the main meeting. So I believe it's 05:30 is '1 of

June 3? Think. You

said it would be 05:30? It should be at 05:30.

05:30?

Yeah, it takes that long to get through everybody. Longer,

longer usually.

We believe it's 05:30. What I will do tomorrow or what I will do on Monday, because we don't work tomorrow, but what we'll do on Monday is send you all an email confirming the timetable on that.

Okay. All right. Staff, do you have anything else besides that?

That's it for today.

Yeah, our meeting is adjourned. You. Have a lot faster. Thank you.
