REOUEST
A application for a day care center was recently submitted to the Planning & Zoning Department
for review and approval by the Enviromnental Review and Preservation Board (ERPB). During
the review, questions arose regarding the adequacy of the current definition of these uses in the
City's Land Development Code (LDC).
Staff reviewed the current regulations governing "day care centers", "child care", and "child care
facilities" that are enumerated in Chapter 402 -Health and Human Services: Miscellaneous
Provisions, Florida Statutes, and determined that it would be appropriate to utilize a similar
definition in the City's LDC, and to also reference the State standards for the operation of these
facilities.
On October 11, 2011 the Plalming Board held a public hearing to discuss the proposed
amendments to the definition of Day Care Centers. After both public and Board comments, the
Board recommended that the item be brought back at the next available meeting with the
following additions:
1. Staff change the use from "permitted" to "special use" in residential districts;
2. Staff consider the application of standards used for charter schools when reviewing child care
facilities as a special use.
On November 8, 2011, the Board held a second public hearing to review the recommended
changes from the October 11, 2011 meeting. The following reflects proposed changes to the
definition, changes to the pennitted use schedule, and changes to the special use conditions for
child care facilities.

Ms. McCain commented on page 5 of 7, Section 4 of the proposal regarding the terminology of

recommendations to amend them.
The Chairman closed the public hearing:

Beckman.
Mr. Brimo asked Mr. Pepe if it would be constituted with the development agreement or would it
be with development of order. Mr. Pepe responded that it would be a development of order and
include the recommended language elsewhere in the document. Mr. Brimo recommended that
this request be implemented in the required conditions section of the LDC.
The Board held a discussion on the proposed amendments.
Mr. Cruz suggested recommendations.
Dr. Whitmall recommended that staff collaborate with the City Attorney and a paragraph be
inserted in order te implement these amendments. Mr. Brimo then suggested inserting the
paragraph in the required conditions section of the LDC.

additional screening and buffering; with a perpetual maintenance agreement covenant running
vvith the land and recorded with the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court.

After reading the letter to
the editor by Fernando Me--
noyo (Palms out of scale on
Segovia Street, Soapbox,
Nov. 27), I felt it necessary to
respond. The design con-
cept for Segovia Street that
Menoyo proposed was seriw
ously flawed. Let's compare
the differences between his
concept and the project
that's currently under con-
struction. Menoyo's plan did
not provide for a curb de-
spite the fact that it was re-
quired to meet safety stanw
dards. Menoyo's concept
would have included fig
to 3 feet, limiting the land-
scaping that can be used.
Withln a few weeks, the
project will be completed. As
one member of the public
wrote to me, 'The improve-
ments you are making to Se-
govia will someday make it
one of the most scenic road-
ways.in South Florida."
