Tompkins, Planning and Zoning Director DATE: July 21, 2020 SUBJECT: A. A Resolution relating to a Variance application to reduce the IRS zoning district spacing requirement for a Pharmacy located at 6420 SW 62 Avenue. B. A Resolution relating to a Variance application to reduce the elementary, middle or secondary school spacing requirement for a Pharmacy located at 6420 SW 62 Avenue. BACKGROUND: Due to the rise of medical marijuana in the State of Florida, The City Commission recently adopted Ordinance #41-19-2354 on December 3, 2019. As part of the amendment, the City Commission determined that it was in the best interest of the residents and the general public for the City to regulate the location of medical marijuana centers. By adopting the ordinance, the City accomplished its objective and allowed Medical Marijuana Centers in the same zoning districts as pharmacies. Per State law, the location of both Medical Marijuana Center dispensing facilities and Pharmacies must be regulated the same way. Because of that, Section 20-3.3(D) of the Land Development Code (LDC) was amended to require that both uses were permitted to be located in the same zoning district and both were required to go through the Special Use permit process before the commencement of any activities associated with the business. On January 21, 2020, the City Commission adopted Ordinance #04-20-2358, which amended the City's Variance regulations to include variance requests for spacing requirements, drive-in/drive- throughs, and hours of operation for Pharmacies. In conjunction with this request, the applicant has also submitted a separate variance request application to the City waiving the spacing requirements from schools (PB-20-012), as well as a variance request application to allow the installation of the proposed drive-in/drive-through (PB-20-013). Last the applicant has submitted a Special Use application to allow a pharmacy at the subject location (1313-20-014). REQUEST: At this time, SOMI 621d Group, LLC, the property owner and applicant, is requesting two (2) variances related to the spacing requirements for Pharmacies which are: 6420 SW 62 Avenue (Marco Drugs) Variance Request — RS Zoning Spacing Requirement & School Spacing Requirement July 21, 2020 Page 2 of 7 1. A Variance to permit a pharmacy at 6420 SW 62nd Avenue that is less than 300 feet from any RS zoning district. 2. A Variance to permit a pharmacy at 6420 SW 62nd Avenue that is less than 500 feet from an elementary, middle or secondary school ANALYSIS: When reviewing the project, the following items are noted: • The applicant's intent is to renovate the site and the existing one-story building which was previously known as Joe's Market. • Per the attached site plan, the existing one-story building is approximately 2,293 square feet and sits on a 15,000 square foot lot. • In addition to the property located at 6420 SW 62 Avenue, the property owner also owns the vacant property immediately to the south, identified only as Folio #09-4025-012-0370. The property owner has submitted a separate Unity of Title request to combine the two (2) properties together. It is important to note that the review and approval of Unity of Title requests fall under the purview of the City Commission. • Per the Proposed Pharmacy Location Map below, the subject property abuts the following zoning districts: JILT/mwl C:\Users\EASYPD-i\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@78OE618F\@8CL@780E618F.docx 3 6420 SW 62 Avenue (Marco Drugs) Variance Request- RS Zoning Spacing Requirement & School Spacing Requirement July 21, 2020 Page 3 of 7 SW 66TH ST - r �l 179 1 NullJ 1 N,5 Nb NOT NW N9' $ 1 ^y h N a i.-t 11 N10 N„ N10 Nll 3 RS-4 f SW 61TH 3 TER N51 ?t NID 6G21 NA N?t ' v 611 NW NN — ]f Nb N3i 6,30 Nat N,C I 1 1_j 1 6667 f59a 6601 b5 65W 6'A1 M09 N01 1 6516 6519 511 fi516 6511 65,o 6511 65j1 5536 0 ss39 6i^0 N 6i21 etb PI _ y S➢J> _ f �, m ,- 65b 6531 ESV- _ - c, 6501 fiwo EWE °OK)_ ti _ 66,1 N,6 MIT wiG, NR+, yyy i i- W?t EG6 E6'0 �3i 663t 66W MIT - 6l9, iIN 6701 6)yy^1 W SIDt _ 4 6i1f 6]u 6]10 - 671, Ulu I 672-1 1 6T-1 67ID VD1 - 6720 6T5, 67b 6731 6/30 I 031 o I t LPR RS-3_ -- - - Si M Mu, NM 6bi 6OG Nis END 625 W 6NC 6JC] - 69?5 wi o North: Neighborhood Retail (NR) o South: Neighborhood Retail (NR) o East: Single -Family Residential (RS-4) o West: Single -Family Residential (RS-3) • 1RE Lee Center, located at 6521 SW 62 Avenue is a property owned and operated by the Miami -Dade County Public School System. The school is located to the south of the proposed Pharmacy in the City's Public Institutional (PI) zoning district. Is The attached proposed Site Plan, sheet A-1, and the attached proposed Floor Plan, sheet A- 2, details the proposed site and floor plan for the future Pharmacy. It is important to note that the applicant has revised the site plan to include a new six (6) foot high pre -cast concrete fence at the rear of the property along its perimeter. Additionally, the applicant is also proposing to plant hedges within their property along the interior side of the proposed wall as well.

Pursuant to the location requirements found in Section 20-3.4(B)(24)(b) of the LDC, a Pharmacy shall not be located: a. Within 300 feet of any RS zoning district; b. Within 1,000 feet of another Pharmacy, whether it is located in the City or in another jurisdiction; or c. Within 500 feet of a child day care facility, an elementary, middle or secondary school or within 500 feet of a county or municipal park located within the Commercial Core, The proposed Pharmacy is within 300 feet of both the RS-3 and RS-4 zoning district. The pharmacy is approximately thirty-five (35) feet from the nearest property line of a single-family residence in the RS-3 zoning district. The pharmacy is also approximately one hundred (100) feet from the nearest property line of a single-family residence in the RS-4 zoning district. While the proposed Pharmacy isn't within 500 feet of a child day care facility or a county/municipal park that is located in the City's Commercial Core, the Pharmacy is located within 500 feet of an elementary, middle, or secondary school. The proposed Pharmacy is approximately one hundred -twenty (120) feet from JRE Lee Center. It is important to note that all distance measurements were taken using Google Earth. Section 20-5.9 of the LDC, Variance approvals, provides the standards against which applications must be reviewed. More specifically, Section 20-5.9(H) provides that variance approvals shall be based on an affirmative finding as to each of five (5) criteria. The applicant has provided their opinion of how the criteria are satisfied in both the General Statement of Hardship and the Justification for Change that are included in the Application Package. The following is Staffs analysis of both the proposed variance requests: 1. The variance is necessary to relieve particular extraordinary conditions relating to a specific property; The applicant initially informed the City of their intent to relocate their pharmacy in the Fall of 2019. At such time, City Staff informed them that the operation of a Pharmacy in the NR zoning district was a use that was permitted by right. With that knowledge, the applicant purchased the property and began the process of redesigning the site prior to submittal to the City. By the time the applicant informed the City of their status on the project, the City had already adopted Ordinance #41-19-2354 which placed spacing restrictions on the use and required that Pharmacies go through the Special Use permit process. Because of that, a JKT/mwl C.\Users\EASYPD-1\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@78OE618F\@BCL@78OE618F.docx 5 6420 SW 62 Avenue (Marco Drugs) Variance Request — RS Zoning Spacing Requirement & School Spacing Requirement July 21, 2020 Page 5 of 7 variance of this nature would be necessary to relieve the particular extraordinary conditions and allow them to complete their project. 2. Denial of the variance would result in hardship to the owner. Hardship results if the restriction of the zoning ordinance, when applied to a particular property, becomes arbitrary, confiscatory or unduly oppressive because of conditions of the property that distinguish it from other properties under similar zoning restrictions; The property was purchased with the knowledge that the proposed use of a Pharmacy was permitted by right. Because of its close proximity to both the RS zoning district and the JRE Lee Center, denial of the variances would result in a hardship to the applicant and prevent them from using the property as a Pharmacy. 3. The extraordinary conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; The property owner/applicant purchased the property with the knowledge that a pharmacy would be permitted by right on the site. By the time the City was informed of their status on the project, the LDC had already been amended to require Special Use approval. Additionally, because of the property's close proximity to the adjacent RS zoning districts and the JRE Lee Center, a Pharmacy could not be realized without first being approved via the Variance process. Consequently, the extraordinary conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. 4. The requested variance is the minimum variance necessary to make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure; The pharmacy is approximately thirty-five (35) feet from the nearest property line of a single- family residence in the RS-3 zoning district, approximately one hundred (100) feet from the nearest property line of a single-family residence in the RS-4 zoning district, and approximately one hundred -twenty (120) feet from JRE Lee Center. Because of its location in relation to both the RS zoning districts and the JRE Lee Center, the requested variance is the minimum necessary to make possible the reasonable use of the land. S. That the approval of the variance will be in consistent with the general intent and purpose of the land Development Code and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. The purpose of the NR zoning district is to permit convenience commercial uses which provide for the everyday retail and personal service needs of nearby residential neighborhoods in a compatible and convenient manner. Per the site plan, the proposed pharmacy will be located in an existing one-story building that is 2,293 square feet that is on a 15,000 square foot site. The applicant isn't proposing to redevelop the site and is instead opting to renovate the site instead. The smallest CVS Pharmacy in the City is housed in a 7,000 square foot building on a 21,000 square foot lot. When compared, the proposed pharmacy pales in comparison to the size of the established pharmacy business. A pharmacy that is only 2,293 square fits in with 1KT/mwl C:\Users\EASYPD—i\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@78CE618F\@BCL@78OE618F.docx 0 6420 SW 62 Avenue (Marco Drugs) Variance Request — RS Zoning Spacing Requirement & School Spacing Requirement July 21, 2020 Page 6 of 7 the character of the neighborhood and would meet the purpose of the NR zoning district. The proposed pharmacy will also provide the adjacent neighborhoods with everyday retail and meet the personal service needs of the community. Because of that, approval of the variance will be consistent with the general intent and purpose of the LDC and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Both Planning Board item PB-20-011 and PB-20-012 were reviewed by the Planning Board at its June 9, 2020 meeting. At the meeting, the Board voted on the two (2) variance requests individually. The results of each of those motions are listed below: A. Variance to reduce the RS zoning district spacing requirement for a Pharmacy. The Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request as presented. B. Variance to reduce the elementary, middle or secondary school spacing requirement for a Pharmacy. The Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request as presented. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Commission approve both of the variance applications with the following conditions: 1. The applicant record a Unity of Title on the two (2) properties; 2. Any and all exterior renovations or modifications for the new establishment may be subject to approval by the Environmental Review & Preservation Board; and 3. The approved variance shall lapse after one (1) year if no building permit has been applied for in accordance with the request for such variance and if the City Commission has not specified a longer approval period for good cause shown.

A Resolution relating to a Variance application to reduce the elementary, middle or secondary school spacing requirement for a Pharmacy located at 6420 SW 62 Avenue. WHEREAS, SOMI 62nd Group, LLC submitted an application (number PB-20-012) requesting a variance from Section 20-3.4(B)(24)(b)(iii) of the Land Development Code (LDC) to reduce the elementary, middle or secondary school spacing requirement for a Pharmacy located at 6420 SW 62 Avenue; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 20-3.4(B)(24)(b)(iii) of the LDC, a Pharmacy shall not be located within five hundred (500) feet of a child day care facility, an elementary, middle or secondary school or within five hundred (500) feet of a county or municipal park located outside the Commercial Core; and WHEREAS, the approval of a variance requires a review by the Planning Board and a recommendation to approve, deny or approve with conditions, as well as the approval of the City Commission after a public hearing; and WHEREAS, on June 9, 2020, the Planning Board held a public hearing on the application request, considered each of the criteria listed in Section 20-5.9 of the LDC and voted on the variance request; and WHEREAS, the Planning Board recommended approval by a vote of seven (7) ayes to zero (0) nays on the variance request; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, having considered each of the variance criterion listed in Section 20-5.9 of the LDC and having found that those conditions have been met, desire to approve the variance applications. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA: Section 1. The recitals set forth in this resolution are true and they are supported by competent substantial evidence and they are incorporated into this resolution by reference as if set forth in full herein. Section 2. The variance request listed in the application (number PB-20-012) submitted by SOMI 62nd Group, LLC to reduce the elementary, middle or secondary school spacing requirement for a Pharmacy located at 6420 SW 62 Avenue, South Miami, Florida is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant record a Unity of Title on the two properties; Pagel of 2 9 Letter of Intent SOMI 62nd Group, LLC, the owners of Marco Drugs & Compounding, purchased an existing commercial building at 6420 S.W. 64nd Avenue (formerly Joe's Market) and the adjacent lot on December 18, 2019 to relocate and expand their existing compounding pharmacy from 6627 S. Dixie Highway. The proposed site plan includes renovating the existing building and requires the use of the adjacent lot to provide adequate parking and drive through facilities. Pursuant to Section 20-5.16(A) of the City of South Miami Land Development Code, we are requesting a Unity of Title in the following case: 2. Whenever a building site consists of more than one lot or parcel and the main building is located on one or more of the lots or parcels and the remaining lots or parcels encompassing the building site are required to meet the minimum zoning requirements. The existing commercial building is located on Lots 3 and 4 of Block 4, Cocoplum Terrace Addition, PB 48-38, Folio Number 09-4025-012-0350. The adjacent lot to the south is Lot 5, Block 4, Cocoplum Terrace Addition, PB 48-38. 12 General Statement of Hardship The requested variances are special conditions to this particular location and the circumstances created through the recently adopted Ordinance No. 41-19-2354 on December 3, 2019, and Ordinance No. 40-20-2354 on January 21, 2020 which amended the Land Development Code for Special Use Conditions, Variance and Special Exceptions for Pharmacy use. SOMI 62nd Group, LLC purchased the property to relocate their existing Pharmacy. The owner closed on the property on December 18, 2019 and had met with staff in prior months to confirm the Pharmacy Use was approved for this location and did not require City Commission approval. We are a local minority -owned small business operation and the additional approval process, timing and costs have created a significant hardship. Therefore, we are requesting your approval of the applications and a deferral/reduction of the application fees. The hardship is fundamental to this property and the existing building site with the current setbacks and inadequate parking. The existing building was used as a convenience grocery store and the new Pharmacy will also provide an important service for the neighborhood and City residents. SOMI 62nd Group, LLC will renovate and remodel the existing building, improving the exterior fagade as well as the site with adequate parking, landscaping, drainage and landscaping. In summary, the Variance requests are necessary because of the recent changes to the ordinances which require the special use permit and variances in order to operate a pharmacy on the property. We purchased the property in reliance of the ordinances that would have allowed us to operate a pharmacy on the property. The change is unfair to us and has nothing to do with any legitimate concerns the city has relating to the operation or location of pharmacies in the city. This was not done to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the citizens from dangers relating to pharmacies. Law requires local governments to regulate medical marijuana treatment centers in the manner that it regulates pharmacies. The "Whereas" clauses of the ordinances substantiate this. Rather than treat medical marijuana treatment centers in the same manner that pharmacies were treated under the prior ordinances, the city has revised the ordinances so that it can regulate medical marijuana treatment centers In the manner that it chooses. We don't believe this is the intent of section 381.986(11)'s preemption provisions. The only entities harmed by this change are pharmacies. We feel that this change is arbitrary and capricious because it is not addressing health, safety, and welfare concerns relating to pharmacies. To the best of our knowledge, the ordinance is not the result of any study of the city's problems and is not designed to address any concerns relating to pharmacies. We feel the ordinance is unreasonable and unfair to pharmacy owners and we ask the commission to reconsider its decision. Due to the additional financial burden, the project will be completed in two phases. 13 Justifications for Change Consistent with South Miami LDC Section 20-S.9 (H): Variance to Section 20-3.4 (24)(b)(i) to operate within 300 feet of RS Zoning district. 1. The variance is necessary to relieve particular extraordinary conditions relating to this property because the existing building is currently located 21 feet from the RS-3 Zoning District boundary (12.50' [50% of 25' Alley] + 8.50' rear building setback). We are improving the existing building by renovating and remodeling for a Pharmacy use which is consistent with the prior commercial Neighborhood Retail use. 2. Denial of the variance would result in hardship to the owner, SOMI 62nd Group, LLC, who purchased the property on December 18, 2019 to relocate the existing pharmacy, MARCO DRUGS & COMPOUNDING to this location. The hardship is fundamental to this property and the existing building site with the current setbacks and inadequate parking. The existing building was used as a convenience and grocery store to serve the neighborhood and the variance is based on changing the existing building use to Pharmacy, which will also serve the neighborhood and City residents. 3. The extraordinary conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The requested variance was necessitated by the circumstances created through the recently adopted Ordinance No. 41-19-2354 on December 3, 2019, and Ordinance No. 40-20-2354 on January 21, 2020 which amended the Land Development Code for Special Use Conditions, Variance and Special Exceptions for Pharmacy use. 4. The requested variance is the minimum variance necessary to make possible the reasonable use of the land, as we are using the existing building which is located 21 feet from the RS-3 Zoning district. 5. The approval of the variance will be consistent with the general intent and purpose of the LDC and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. The Pharmacy use is consistent with the adjacent Neighborhood Retail uses. Marco Drugs will incorporate internal and external renovations, including adequate parking spaces, landscaping, drainage, and security. The Pharmacy hours are between 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 pm., therefore they will not create a nuisance for the adjacent residents. 14 Variance to Section 20-3.4(24)(b)(iii) to operate within 500 feet of school. 1. The variance is necessary to relieve particular extraordinary conditions relating this property. Per the attached site plan, the existing Building is located 80 feet 8 inches from the PI zoning district boundary, including SW 62 Avenue Right -of - Way (45' 8" front building setback + 35.0' [50% of the 70.0' SW 62nd Ave ROW]). The JRE Lee Educational Center building serves as an administration office for Miami -Dade County Public Schools Department of Exceptional Student Education and students do not attend classes at the office building. 2. Denial of the variance would result in hardship to the owner, SOMI 62nd Group, LLC, as they could not operate the intended business use of a pharmacy, which was allowed by right in the Neighborhood Retail Zoning District use. The hardship is fundamental to this property and the existing building site. 3. The extraordinary conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The requested variance was necessitated by the circumstances created through the recently adopted Ordinance No. 41-19-2354 on December 3, 2019, and Ordinance No. 40-20-2354 on January 21, 2020 which amended the Land Development Code for Special Use Conditions, Variance and Special Exceptions for Pharmacy use. 4. The requested variance is the minimum variance necessary to make possible the reasonable use of the land as the existing building is located within 80' of the PI Zoning district, including the four lane right-of-way for SW 62 Avenue. 5. The approval of the variance will be consistent with the general intent and purpose of the LDC and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. SOMI 62nd Group, LLC will incorporate internal and external renovations, including adequate parking spaces, landscaping, drainage, and security. The Pharmacy hours are between 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 pm., therefore they will not create a nuisance for the adjacent residents. The Pharmacy has state of the art security systems including safes, locked cabinets, camera systems and alarms. The Pharmacy use is consistent with the adjacent Neighborhood Retail uses. 15 Folio: 094026-012-0370 Sub -Division: COCOPLUMTERRACEADON PreperryAddress Owner SON 62NDGROUP LLC Mailing Address 1407 TUNIS ST CORAL GABLES.

EJY g9THl 5T —�tl� March 18, 2020 Dear Property Owner. APR 3 0 2001 SOMI 62nd Group, LLC, the owners of Marco Drugs & Compounding, purchased Joe's market, an existing commercial building, at 6420 S.W. 62ndAvenue and the adjacent lot on December 18, 2019 to relocate and expand their existing compounding pharmacy from 6627 S. Dixie Highway. The Family owned pharmacy has served South Miami since the early 1980's and continues to provide the newest technology, latest medical knowledge and highest quality pharmaceuticals. The immediate construction improvements for the existing 2,154 square foot commercial building include exterior and interior renovations, increased parking spaces, drainage, landscaping, signage and a drive -through window. In December 2019 and January 2020, the city adopted new Land Development Code changes which added additional conditions onto Pharmacy users. Therefore, the proposed Site Plan requires a Special Use Approval for the Pharmacy use per Section 20-3.4(24), with Variances to Section 20-3.4 (24)(b)(i) to operate within 300 feet of RS Zoning district; Section 20- 3.4(24)(b)(iii) to operate within 500 feet of school; and Section 20-3.4(24)(e) Vehicular traffic for Dr ve-through service for the Pharmacy. In addition, pursuant to Section 20-5.16, we have requested approval for a Unity of Title to incorporate both properties under Folio Numbers 09- 4025-012-0350 & 09-4025-012-0370. Pursuant to Section 20-3.4(24)(k) we would request a Reservation of Pharmacy use within 1,000 feet. The proposed Site Plan meets or exceeds all remaining land development code requirements including setbacks, open space and landscape requirements. This Project is to be completed in two phases. Phase I constitutes all site modifications, paving, drainage, parking, landscaping, exterior painting and all Interior modifications. Phase II constituted remaining exterior fagade enhancements. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ivette Suarez at 305-665-4411.

PB-20-011 Applicant: SOMI 62"d Group, LLC A Resolution relating to a Variance application to reduce the RS zoning district spacing requirement for a Pharmacy located at 6420 SW 62 Avenue.

Applicant: SOMI 62"d Group, LLC, represented by Ms. Sonia Martinez (Owner), Ivette Suarez (Owner), Ms. Brenda Yates (Planning Consultant) and Mr. William Delamorena (Architect) . Ms. Ruiz read PB-20-014 into the record. Ms. Ruiz asked Ms. Tompkins who will be presenting the presentation to the Board, to which Ms. Tompkins stated that Mr. Lightfoot will be presenting the items. Ms. Ruiz then swore in Mr. Lightfoot. 48 Mr. Lightfoot presented all four (4) of the item requests to the Board. Ms. Ruiz then accepted the report presented by Mr. Lightfoot, allowing it to be entered into evidence. Ms. Ruiz swore in the following applicant representatives: • Ms. Brenda Yates • Sonia Martinez • Ivette Suarez • Mr. William Delamorena Ms. Yates presented all four (4) item requests to the Board on behalf of the applicant. The Chairperson opened the floor to public comments on PB-20-011, P13-20-012, PB-20-013, and P13-20-014. The Chairperson then swore in the following individuals who spoke during the public comments section of the meeting. • Holly Zickler: Ms. Zickler stated that she doesn't have an issue with the pharmacy but has an issue with the drive-thru lane. Ms. Ruiz provided an opportunity for the applicant to rebut the statements made by Ms. Zickler, to which Ms. Yates stated that 30% of the business comes from South Miami. Also, the Drive-thru only enters and leaves from SW 62nd Avenue with employ parking facing SW 62"d Avenue. The applicant then held brief discussion with Ms. Zickler. • Jillian Mehler: Ms. Mehler stated that she lives directly behind the subject property. She also stated that she is concerned about the noise and traffic that the proposed business will generate. She then asked if a wall could be made that would lower the noise and lights that would be generated by the business. MS. Mehler then stated that if the alley was abandoned, it could aid in providing a buffer for the business. Ms. Ruiz provided an opportunity for the applicant to rebut the statements made by Ms. Mehler, to which Ms. Yates stated that they were proposing landscape material along the perimeter of the property. Ms. Yates then stated that if the neighborhood wanted something a little sturdier, the height of the landscaping could be increased, or some type of fencing or concrete barrier could be installed. Mr. Pepe announced that there was no.one physically in the City Commission Chambers for the public comment portion of the hearing. • Jorge Milian: Mr. Milian is concerned about the noise and lights that will be generated by patrons of the business. He also stated that the physical barrier won't work 49 unless it is the highest that the City will allow. Mr. Milian then stated that the alley should be abandoned. Ms. Ruiz provided an opportunity for the applicant to rebut the statements made by Mr. Milian, which the applicant did not take. • Christopher Cooke -Yarborough: Mr. Cooke -Yarborough stated that he was concerned about the drive thru and the adjacent parking area. He stated that the configuration could be a problem for people that are parked in the spaces near the drive thru. He then stated that he is concerned about the exhaust generated by cars in the drive thru will be an issue. Ms. Ruiz provided an opportunity for the applicant to rebut the statements made by Ms. Milian, to which the applicant stated that they will wait until the end. The Chairperson opened the floor to public comments on PB-20-011, PB-20-012, PB-20-01% and PB-20-014 Ms. Yates completed her presentation to the Board. Ms. Ruiz opened the floor to questions for either the applicant or staff. Ms. Bonich asked if the approval of the variance will create a precedence going forward. Mr. Pepe responded that because each property is unique, approval of the variance would not create a precedence. Ms. Bonich asked if the City has protocols in place for the physical barrier, to which Mr. Lightfoot stated that he could not recall an instance where the City required that a physical barrier be installed on a non-residential property. He then gave the Board the Ciity's regulations for physical barriers on nonresidential properties. He also stated that materials and styles of the physical barrier would be subject to the City's Environmental Review & Preservation Board (ERPB) who would review the design of the barrier as well as the exterior renovation of the site. Ms. Bonich asked if the City knew of any other drive -through aisles in the immediate vicinity. Mr. Lightfoot responded that there were no other drive -through aisles in the area. Mr. Jacobs asked when the property was purchased. Ms. Suarez responded that the closing date for the property was December 18, 2019. They put an offer on the property in June 2019. Mr. Jacobs then asked where the business is currently located. Ms. Suarez responded that the business is currently located in the shopping plaza at the corner of US-1 and SW Vh Avenue. Mr. Jacobs asked if there was a drive -through at the current site, to which Ms. Martinez said no. Mr. Jacobs stated that both the residential and commercial parties are interested in absorbing the alley and making use of that as a buffer. He then asked if there was a possibility of that happening. Mr. Pepe responded that someone would have to file a separate application requesting that the alley be abandoned which would be a decision for the City Commission to make. Mr. Jacobs asked if the alley was being used for trash pickup, to which both staff and the City Attorney could not answer. 4 50 Mr. Corey asked if Staff deny the variance for the drive -through for the same reason the residents did in that it was too close to the residential zoning district. Mr. Lightfoot responded that the variance was denied because staff determined that the request was a self-imposed hardship. Additionally, it was denied for its close proximity to the adjacent residential properties. Mr. Corey asked if this application is approved, can this business or any future business would be allowed to sell medical marijuana. Mr. Lightfoot stated that the ordinance states that a medical marijuana retail centers cannot have a drive -through. Mr. Corey then asked if the drive -through isn't approved could the medical marijuana retail center be allowed to open there. Mr. Lightfoot then deferred to the City Attorney on a response to the question. Mr. Pepe stated that the state statute prevents the City from putting up any roadblocks against a medical marijuana retail center (MMRC) that aren't there for a pharmacy. If the City approves a variance for a pharmacy and the conditions were the same, then a MMRC would get the benefit of it as well. Once the variance is given, whoever buys the property would be able to use the property in a way that is similar to the pharmacy. Ms. Tompkins then added that as long as the Business Tax Receipt remained in effect and didn't lapse, a new owner would be allowed to come in and sell medical marijuana. Ms. Ruiz then asked if that MMRC could have the drive -through that was previous approved for the pharmacy, to which Mr. Pepe stated no. The MMRC wouldn't be allowed to use it. Mr. Borges stated that he did not have any questions for the applicant and thanked the applicant for investing in the City. Mr. Miller stated that he did not have any questions for the applicant. He then commented that Larkin Hospital and the JRE Lee school both have drive -through lanes along the SW 62"d Avenue corridor. If the question is relative to traffic being caused by drive -through lanes along the SW 62"d Avenue corridor then there would be some precedence. Ms. Ruiz thanked the applicant for investing in the City. She then asked if drive-throughs were allowed by right before the Land Development Code (LDC) was changed. Mr. Lightfoot stated that he would need to search the LDC. Mr. Lightfoot then stated that even though pharmacies were previously permitted by right, drive-throughs were typically approved by the City Commission. Ms. Ruiz then asked Ms. Tompkins the same question, to which Ms. Tompkins stated that she would need to check the LDC as well. Ms. Ruiz asked the applicant if they would oppose installing a physical barrier along the property. Ms. Yates responded that they were originally proposing landscaping along the rear of the property but had no objection to proposing a physical barrier as well. Ms. Ruiz then asked if there was room to place a wall and shrubs at the rear of the property, to which Ms. Yates stated that they were proposing to install a five (5) landscape buffer along the perimeter of the property and installing the wall would be tight but it could be possible. Ms. Ruiz asked staff if they were able to locate any language on the drive-throughs, to which Ms. Tompkins responded that she could not find any language in the LDC as they existed prior to the change. Ms. Ruiz then asked if the drive -through would be allowed since there isn't any language in the LDC regulating it. Mr. Pepe stated that the LDC takes the stance that if it isn't listed in the LDC, then it isn't permitted. Ms. Ruiz opened the floor to discussion of the items by the Board. 51 Mr. Borges recommended that the Board approve all of the items before them. Ms. Bonich stated that the City should give the applicant the same opportunity that was available to them prior to the LDC change. She also stated that the City should also listen to the concerns of the residents who will be affected by the business. Seeing as it appears that the applicant is willing to accommodate the residents' request and install a wall, she doesn't see a reason why they shouldn't have the drive -through lane. Having the drive -through will only aid those patrons who are too ill to physically go inside the pharmacy. Mr. Miller stated that he was pleased that the variance item was not precedence setting. Mr. Miller stated that with the applicant's statement that they will install the barrier, he's supportive of the items. He also stated that the alley should be a separate topic so that it doesn't hold up the applicant's items. Ms. Ruiz stated that because of everything happening in the world, she understands the comments made by the residents who are directly behind the business. She also stated that she understands the applicant and the fact that they've gone through a hardship. She also stated that the Board can broker a deal between the applicant and the residents for the installation of the wall which would lower the noise of the vehicles in the drive -through. Lighting would still be an issue but a combination of the hours of operation and the wall could reduce the exposure of the lights. She then stated that she would recommend that there be landscaping inside the property adjacent to the cement wall. Last, she agreed that the alley would provide an additional opportunity for the residents to obtain a buffer between them and the commercial properties but should be a separate item. Mr. Corey stated that he didn't know if there was a way that the Board can specify that the wall be made of concrete. He also stated that even though it isn't the plan, he is concerned that the Board may approve an item that would allow medical marijuana to be sold near a school and residential properties. It would make him more comfortable if the Board could determine a way to approve the item without allowing the sale of medical marijuana. Ms. Ruiz asked if the variance for the drive -through is granted, would it be tied to either the project or the property. Mr. Lightfoot responded that the variance would be tied to the property. Ms. Ruiz then asked if the variance is tied to the property and a MMRC occupies the space, would they be allowed to use the drive -through. Mr. Lightfoot stated no, an MMRC would not be allowed to use the space because by code, they aren't allowed to have a drive -through. Mr. Pepe added that the MMRC is not allowed to have a drive -through. It doesn't prevent them from being in the same location as the pharmacy. Their ability to use the property is restricted by the LDC. Ms. Ruiz then asked if the drive -through is there physically, a MMRC would not be allowed to use it, to which Mr. Pepe stated yes. Ms. Tompkins added that the MMRC would still need to come to the City to obtain the necessary licenses. At that time, Staff would recognize the restriction and inform them that the window would need to be rendered inoperable. Mr. Jacobs stated that if they're interested, both parties should work with the Commission and see if the alley can be abandoned. Ms. Bonich stated that if the business were a MMRC, then they wouldn't be allowed to have a drive -through. She then asked if the City were to approve the proposed pharmacy and a MMRC later occupies the building, would it be allowed. Mr. Pepe responded yes, the MMRC would be 52 allowed to occupy the building as long as the previous pharmacy use is not abandoned for a period of time. Mr. Pepe then added that the City cannot put up barriers in terms of location of a MMRC that it doesn't also put up against the operation of a pharmacy. If a pharmacy is permitted to operate within a certain distance from a school, then an MMRC would be allowed to operate there as well. Notwithstanding anything else, the state statute states that an MMRC cannot operate any closer than a certain distance from schools which is 500 feet. Ms. Bonich then stated that because of its close proximity to a school, a MMRC would not be allowed to operate at the subject location, to which Mr. Pepe state yes. Ms. Bonich asked if the residential properties were similarly protected, to which Mr. Pepe state no. The state statute does not have a distance limitation for residential zoning districts. Because of that, the City would be required to allow MMRC's and pharmacies to apply for variances for distance from residential zoning districts. Ms. Tompkins gave a brief background on the review and adoption of the City's medical marijuana ordinance. Ms. Ruiz asked if JRE Lee is a school. Mr. Pepe stated that it was his understanding that JRE Lee was a school. Mr. Jacobs added that because the building needed renovations, the site was currently being used for administrative offices. Mr. Miller asked if the items will be voted on together or as separate items, to which Ms. Ruiz stated that the Board will vote on the items separately. The Board concluded their discussion on the four (4) items and made an individual motion on each of the items. The Board then voted on each of the four (4) items individually.

Motion: Mr. Borges moved to approve PB-20-012 as presented. Mr. Jacobs seconded the motion. Ms. Ruiz stated that she would like to add staff's conditions to the approval, to which Mr. Pepe stated that because there is a motion and second on the floor, the condition could not be added unless the second was rescinded. The Board then decided to vote on the item.

Mr. Lightfoot then informed the Board that the conditions listed by staff were standard conditions required by the City's Land Development Code. There were no special conditions for the item. Because of that, Ms. Ruiz rescinded her request to add conditions and requested to change her vote on the original motion to a "yes" vote. Vote: Yes 7. No 0 (None) Mr. Borges: Yes Mr. Miller: Yes Mr. Jacobs: Yes Mr. Baldwin: Yes Mr. Corey: Yes Ms. •Bonich: Yes Ms. Ruiz: Yes The motion to approve PB-20-012 was unanimously approved by the Board. Ms. Ruiz asked if there were conditions placed on PB-20-013 and PB-20-014, to which Mr. Lightfoot stated that conditions were placed on PB-20-014 only. Because he was recommending denial of PB-20-013, he did not place any conditions on the item. Motion: Ms. Ruiz moved to approve PB-20-013 with the following conditions that the applicant build a cement wall to the maximum height permitted, with hedges on their property. Mr. Borges seconded the motion. The board began voting on the motion when Ms. Bonich suggested that wording be added to the motion. Because of that, the motion was amended as follows and voted on: Motion: Ms. Ruiz moved to approve PB-20-013 with the condition that the applicant build a maximum height cement wall permitted by code, with hedges lining the interior of their property.
