A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, RELATING TO A REQUEST PURSUANT TO SECTION 20-
3.4(131)(4)(b) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR SPECIAL USE APPROVAL
TO LOCATE A GENERAL RESTAURANT AT 6001 SW 70" STREET (VALENCIA
BUILDING) WITHIN THE "TODD -MU5" TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT -MIXED USE 5 ZONING USE DISTRICT; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
APPLICANT'S REQUEST
Pursuant to Section 20- 3.4(B)(4)(b) of the Land Development Code (LDC) the applicants, Anthony and
Christine Hevia, are requesting Special Use Approval to operate a new general restaurant (cafe) at the
above referenced location. The location of the restaurant is on the ground floor of the Valencia, a multi-
family condominium residential building. The restaurant will actually face SW 590' Place. The proposed
restaurant is located in the "TODD- MU -5 ", Transit Oriented Development District — Mixed Use 5
Zoning District which allows restaurants if approved through the special use process. The LDC provides
that special uses must be approved by the City Commission after a public hearing and receipt of a
recommendation from the Planning Board.
STAFF ANALYSIS
(1) In 2001 the City Commission approved a Comprehensive Plan land use category amendment and a
zoning change to permit construction of the Valencia Apartment Building a six story multi - family
residential development containing 294 dwelling units and 6,812 square feet of commercial space: City
commission Ordinance No. 24 -01 -1755 approving the zone change (MO to TODD -MU -5) was adopted.
on October 2, 2001. That ordinance stated that the zone change was subject to a number of conditions,
one of which read:
"The proposed development shall be as shown on the Site Plan submitted to the City on
September 28, 2001, as may be modified by revisions required by conditions set forth in this
section; "
During the review and approval process in 2001 it was mentioned on several occasions that the
commercial uses will be neighborhood oriented with local area residents encouraged to establish
businesses in the spaces available. This led to the designation of the space (storefronts) as retail on the
final site plan. The ado Ipted Site Plan indicated that all of the commercial space on the first floor of the
building facing SW 59 Place was to be "Retail "(see attached copy).
(2) The restaurant will occupy Unit 102 at the ground floor. The unit is 800 square feet and the required
parking spaces for the restaurant will be 8 spaces (I space per 100 sq. ft.). The required parking as set
aside in 2001 for tlae commercial uses in the building is 26 spaces. The three existing businesses have a
parking requirement of 12 spaces. There is sufficient dedicated parking remaining to accommodate the
proposed cafe /restaurant. It is important to note that the future commercial uses in the ground floor may
be impacted because the amount of dedicated parking spaces remaining is now very limited (6 spaces).
(3) The placement of the proposed restaurant /cafe in the retail space of the Valencia Building is
compatible with the original 2001 objective which mandates retail that serves the community and
surrounding neighborhood.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION:
The Planning Board. at its October 27, 2009 meeting adopted a motion by a vote of 5 ayes 0 nays
recommending approval of the special use restaurant request with a condition.
RECOMMENDATION
The requested special use approval for the restaurant /cafe at this location complies with the LDC
requirements set forth for special uses in Section 20 -3.4 and the conditional use requirements set forth in
Section 20 -5.8. Approval of the application with the following condition as set forth by the Planning
Board is recommended:
(1) If the proposed general restaurant is, in the future, determined by the Director of Planning, to
be adversely affecting the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity of the
proposed use, to be detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the
neighborhood, or to be not in compliance with other applicable Code provisions, the special use
approval may be modified. or revoked by the City Commission upon notification and public
hearing.

(Letter of Intent)
T77anks primarily to Starbucks, within the past 20 years the coffeehouse has
become a farniliar feature of American life. Every day, millions of Americans stop
for an espresso -based coffee drink. People who would not have dreamed of
spending more than 50 cents for a cup of coffee a few years ago now gladly pay $3
to $5 far their cappuccino, mocha latte or vanilla ice blended drink. Starbucks,
The 'Coffee Bean, Peet's, Dunkin Donuts, Seattle's Best and other major chains
serve average quality drinks in establishments that have the same generic design
appearance. Indeed, Starbucks and The Coffee Bean are often referred to as 'fast
food" coffeehouses due to their "cookie cutter" design. Now that Americans' coffee
preferences have broadened and matured, many are asking for more from their
coffeehouse.
a warm inviting atinosnhere. C -Note and Ton's Cafe will meet this need and fill
this niche. We will offer high- qualii r products in a relaxed environment. C -note
and Ton's Cafe will strive to be the coffeehouse of choice for the residents of
Valencia South Miami as well as the general South Miami community, downtown
business workers, tourists who visit the city, and students, by providing a higher
quality experience than any competitor. As a result, we intend to create a
coffeehouse that quickly achieves profztability and sustains an attractive rate of
return for our investors and generates income by providing coffee and
refreshments to the residents of Valencia South Miami and the surrounding
businesses. We will partner with .Fit to Go LLC to provide fresh and healthy meals
that can be delivered to businesses, picked up, or eaten in the welcoming confines
of our establishment.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, RELATING TO A REQUEST PURSUANT TO SECTION 20-
3.4(13)(4)(b) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR SPECIAL USE APPROVAL
TO LOCATE A GENERAL. RESTAURANT AT 6001 SW 70th STREET (VALENCIA
BUILDING) WITMN THE "TODD -MU5" TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT -MIXED USE 5 ZONING USE DISTRICT; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
APPLICANT'S REQUEST:
Pursuant to Section 20- 3.4(B)(4)(b) of the Land Development Code (LDC) the applicants are
requesting Special Use Approval to operate a new general restaurant (cafe) at the above
referenced location. The location of the restaurant is on the ground floor of the Valencia, a multi-
family condominium residential building. The restaurant will actually face SW 590' Place. The
proposed restaurant is located in the "TODD- MU -5 ", Transit Oriented Development District —
Mixed Use 5 Zoning District which allows restaurants if approved through the special use
process. The LDC provides that special uses must be approved by the City Commission after a
public bearing and receipt of a recommendation from the Planning Board.
STAFF ANALYSIS
(1) In 2001 the City Commission approved a Comprehensive Plan land use category amendment
and a zoning change to permit construction of the Valencia Apartment Building a six story multi-
family residential development containing 294 dwelling units and 6,812 square feet of
commercial space. City commission Ordinance No. 24 -01 -1755 approving the zone change (MO
to TODD -MU -5) was adopted on October 2, 2001. That ordinance stated that the zone change
was subject to a number of conditions, one of which read:
(1) The proposed development shall be as shown on the Site Plan submitted to the City
on September 28, 2001, as may be modfed by revisions required by conditions set
forth in this section;
6001 SW 70 Street.
Special use approval
October 27, 2009
During the review and approval process in 2001 it was mentioned on several occasions that the
commercial uses will be neighborhood oriented with local area residents encouraged to establish
businesses in the spaces available. This led to the designation of the space (storefronts) as retail
on the final site plan. The adopted Site Plan indicated that all of the commercial space on the first
floor of the building facing SW 59`1' Place was to be "Retail "(see attached copy).
(2) The restaurant will occupy Unit 102 at the ground floor. The unit is 800 square feet and the
required parking spaces for the restaurant will be 8 spaces (I space per 100 sq: ft.). The required
parking as set aside in 2001 for the commercial uses in the building is 26 spaces. The three
existing businesses have a parking requirement of 12 spaces. There is sufficient dedicated
parking remaining to accommodate the proposed caf6hestaurant. It is important to note that the
future commercial uses in the ground floor may be impacted because the amount of dedicated
parking spaces remaining is now very limited (6 spaces).
(3) 'In 2006 the City reviewed and acted upon an application by an individual with the consent of
the owner to revise the 2001 Site Plan to allow office use in two of the commercial units on the
first floor. The Planning and. Zoning Department recommended denial of the application stating
that "Staff is concerned that the substitution of office space in place of retail is an abandonment
of the concept that this area of the building would benefit the neighborhood and would
encourage a mixing of building and community residents. " The Planning Board at its January
10, 2006 meeting recommended denial and the City Commission subsequently did not act on the
matter.
(4) The placement of the proposed restaurant/cafe in the retail space of the Valencia Building is
compatible with the original 2001 objective which mandates retail that serves the community
and surrounding neighborhood.
spECIAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE:
.The overall purpose of going through the special use process is to determine the compatibility of
the proposed use with the surrounding neighborhood. A special use must comply with the
conditions set forth in Section 20- 5.8(13) in that the use:
a) Will not adversely affect the health or, safety of persons residing or working in the
vicinity of the proposed use;
b) Will not be detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the
neighborhood; and,
c) Complies with all other applicable Code provisions.
In addition, special uses may also be required to comply with supplemental requirements, which
are set forth in Section 20- 3.4(B)(4)(b). In the case of a general restaurant, the following
requirements are listed:
(i) All such establishments shall provide only inside or patio service on private property.
Public streets, rights -of -way, sidewalks and required setbacks may not be used for
patio or street -side services of any kind. A separate application for outdoor seating
would be required.
6001 SW 70 Street.
Special use approval
October 27, 2009
(ii) ' No services of a drive -in or of a fast food nature Shall be, permitted.
(iii), The city, commission shall review and recommend approval, disapproval or
modification of all site plans and project specifications for this special use permit.
RECOMMENDATION
The requested special use approval for the restauranVoafe at this location complies with the LDC
requirements set forth for special uses in Section 20 -3.4 and the conditional use requirements set
forth in Section 20 -5.8. Approval of the application with the following condition is
recommended:
(1) If the proposed general restaurant is, in the future, determined by the Director of
Planning, to be adversely affecting the health or safety of persons residing or working in
the vicinity of the proposed use, to be detrimental to the public welfare or property or
improvements in the neighborhood, or to be not in compliance with other applicable
Code provisions, the special use approval may be modified or revoked by the City
Commission upon notification and public hearing.

Mr. Youkilis stated that in 2001 the City Commission approved a Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Map amendment and a zoning change to permit construction of the Valencia Apartment
Building a six story multi - family residential development containing '294 dwelling units and
6,812 square feet of commercial space. City Commission Ordinance No. 24 -01 -1755 approving
the zone change (MO to TODD -MU -5) was adopted on October 2, 2001. That ordinance stated
that the zone change was subject to a number of conditions, one of which read:
(1) The proposed development shall be as shown on the Site Plan submitted to the City
on September 28, 2001, as may be modified by revisions required by conditions set
forth in this section;
Mr. Youl lis went on to say that during the review and approval process in 2001 it was
mentioned on several occasions that the commercial uses will be neighborhood oriented with
local area residents encouraged to establish businesses in the spaces available. This led to the
designation of the storefronts as retail on the final site plan. The adopted Site Plan indicated that
all of the commercial space on the first floor of the building facing SW 59th Place was to be
"Retail." The restaurant will occupy Unit 102 at the ground floor. The unit is 800 square feet
and the required parking spaces for the restaurant will be 8 spaces (I space per 100 sq. ft.). The
required parking as set aside in 2001 for the commercial uses in the building is 26 spaces. The.
three existing businesses have a parking requirement of 12 spaces. There is sufficient dedicated
parking remaining to accommodate the proposed caf6/restaurant. It is.important to note that the
future commercial uses in the ground floor may be impacted because the amount of dedicated
parking spaces remaining is now very limited (6 spaces). In 2006 the City reviewed and acted
upon an application by an individual with the consent of the owner to revise the 2001 Site Plan
to allow office use in two of the commercial units on the first floor. The Planning and Zoning
Department recommended denial of the application stating that "Staff is concerned that the
substitution of offce space.in place of retail is an abandonment of the concept that this area of
the building would benefit the neighborhood and would encourage a mixing of building and
community residents. " The Planning Board at its January 10, 2006 meeting recommended
denial and the City Commission subsequently did not act on the matter.
Mr. Youkilis went on to say that the placement of the proposed restaurant/caf6 in the retail
space of the Valencia Building is compatible with the original 2001 objective which mandates
retail that serves the community and surrounding neighborhood. The overall purpose of going
through the special use process is to determine the compatibility of the proposed use with the
surrounding neighborhood.
Mr. Youkilis stated that City staff recommends approval of the Special Use for the
restaurant/caf6 at this location as it complies with the LDC requirements set forth for special
uses in Section 20 -3.4 and the conditional use requirements set forth in Section 20 -5.8.
Approval of the application with the following condition is recommended.

(1) If the proposed general restaurant is, in the future, determined by the Director of
Planning, to be adversely affecting the health or safety of persons residing or working in
the vicinity of the proposed use, to be detrimental to the public welfare or property or
improvements in the neighborhood, or to be not in compliance with other applicable
Code provisions, the special use approval may be modified or revoked by the City
Commission upon notification and public hearing.
Mr. Morton asked the applicant if they had anything to say.

Mr. Whitman asked what your hours would be. Mr. Hevia stated that they would be open 7:00
a.m. — 4:00 p.m. depending on the traffic and Metro hail. We are looking at the traffic at the
post office. Mr. Whitman inquired if they would be open in the weekends. Mr. Hevia stated
that possibly on Saturday in the morning, but closed on Sunday.
Mr. Youkilis asked if Mr. Hevia owns the store location where this neighborhood caf6 would be
located. Mr. Hevia stated that he does not own the store but that the owner was present if she
needed to address the Board.

Mr. Morton asked if there were any people in the audience to speak on the above mentioned
subject.

NAME:
Delores Flowers 6001 SW 70 Street Supports
Ms. Flowers wanted to know what it would take to change the criteria for the standards to have
other retail /commercial type of stores to come into the Valencia store front area. She asked the
Planning Board if they could review all the criteria so that other types of retail would be able to
move in. Mr. Youkilis announced that at the November 3' , 2009 City Commission meeting the
Mayor would address this issue. The City Commission would refer to the Planning Board a
request to change the site plan allowing additional uses to this area.

John Edward Smith 7531 SW 64 Court Supports
Mr. John Edward Smith would like to see some type of change in the use of the open stores that
are vacant. He stated that he believed that if the City changed the use then more stores would be

able to apply for use and the store fronts would be filled. He also stated that he supported the
fact that the Cafe would be coming into the area; "Valencia store fronts ". Mr. Smith inquired as
to the eight (8) parking spaces on 59h Court, located across from the Post Office. Did these
spaces go into account of the spaces required? Mr. Youkilis stated that they were part of the
required spaces. In 2001 it showed 18 internal spaces and six (6) on- street spaces. Mr. Youkilis
did not believe that they were metered as of yet. Mr. Smith stated that they were.
Mr. Comendeiro asked why the fifteen minutes on the meters. Mr. Youkilis stated that he did
not know. Mr. Smith stated that at the time there were no meters, so they placed the meters at
15 minutes so that people could drop things off but not park there the entire day.
Speaker:
NAME: ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE
John E. Anderson 5917 SW 60 Avenue Supports.
Mr. Anderson wanted to know where would other people park if the parking in the metered
section would be taken. His concern was that those people who did not want to park in the
metered area would spill over to the residential area and take up parking there. He wanted to
make sure that the overflow of any parking from the businesses would not flow into the
residential area and did Valencia have enough parking spaces.
Ms. Yates stated that there are 18 parking spaces inside of Valencia and it would relieve any
parking issues on the street. Mr. Cabrera, an architect for the new restaurant, stated that there
are 26 parking spaces and that with this cafe coming in only 18 of the spaces would be taken;
leaving 8 parking spaces in accordance to the rules and regulations of the City.
Mr. Morton closed the public hearing.
Motion: Ms. Yates made a motion to approve the PB -09 -026 a proposed special use
restaurant. Seconded by Mr..Comendeiro
