District Overlay concerning parking.87
88

(2)no grocery store owner is ready, willing and able to lease the Grocery Store Space for a 104
competitive grocery store rental105
(g)The Owner may not convert any of the residential units to owner occupied units (Converted Units) 106

substance, that requires the owner to110

buyers (Qualified Buyer). A Qualified Buyer is someone who meets the requirements for a Miami-112
Dade County homebuyer loan program for Very-low Income, Low Income or Moderate-Income 113
individuals and families as it existed on June 2, 2020, or as amended.114
(2)restrict the conveyance of the Set Aside Converted Units to only Qualified Buyers; and115
(3)include a deed restriction in the conveyance of Set Aside Converted Units that116
(i)prohibits the reconveyance of said unit for 15 years, other than to another Qualified 117
Buyer; and118
(ii)requires, in the event of a foreclosure sale or the execution of a deed in lieu of 119
foreclosure by a Qualified Buyer (hereinafter referred to as “Foreclosure Sale”) and to the 120
extent of any Qualified Buyer’s equity in the Set Aside Converted Unit, the repayment of any 121
grant, gift or other subsidy from a governmental entity used to pay for any of the closing costs, 122
down payment or equity in the property (Government Subsidy). In the event of a Foreclosure 123
Sale, so much of any excess proceeds that would otherwise be owed to the Qualified Buyer 124
after the mortgage has been satisfied and any foreclosure judgment has been paid in full from 125
the sale of the property or by agreement with the mortgagee, must be paid back to the 126
governmental entity that provided the Government Subsidy until the subsidy is repaid in full. 127
Nothing contained herein shall prevent Qualified Buyers from recovering their equity in the 128
property that exceeds the Government Subsidy.129
(h) Grocery Store Lease Exception: The affordable housing provisions of these MU-M district regulations 130
shall not apply if the owner and/or the developer: (1) presents the City Manager with a duly 131
executed lease in recordable form with an initial lease term of twenty (20) years and providing at 132
4
least two (2) lease extension periods of five (5) years each for the operation of a Grocery Store; (2) 133
obtains a Certificate of Occupancy for the Grocery Store; and (3) obtains from the City a local 134
business tax receipt. For clarity and for the avoidance of doubt, once the owner developer satisfies 135

requirement of this or any other provisions of the City’s Code or land development regulations shall 137
thereafter attach to the property. In the event of a conflict between any regulation and this 138
paragraph (h), the provisions of this paragraph (h) shall prevail.139

1.PB-20-023
Applicant:The City of South Miami
An Ordinance pursuant to Section 20-5.7 and other applicable provisions of the City of South
Miami Land Development Code modifying Article VIII, Section 20-8.3 regarding the Transit-
Oriented Development District Mixed-Use Market (TODD (MU-M)).
Applicant: The City of South Miami, represented by Ms. Jane Tompkins, AICP (Planning and
Zoning Director)
Ms. Ruiz read PB‐20-023 into the record.
Ms. Ruiz asked Ms. Tompkins who will be presenting the item to the Board, to whichMs. Tompkins
stated that she would be presenting the item.
Ms. Tompkins presented the item request to the Board.
Mr. Pepe stated that Paragraph A of Subsection 4 of Section 20-8.3 of the Land Development Code
(LDC) appears to be in conflict with the following language:
(a)If the owner decides to develop Affordable Housing, in lieu of Grocery Store
Space, or if the Grocery Store Space remains vacant for more than 2 years, or if a
grocery store is not feasible as defined in paragraph (f), the owner must record a
covenant running with the land, in form and substance approved by the City
Attorney and City Manager, executed by the owner and binding upon the property
owner, as well as all successors in interest and assigns, which complies with the
Affordable Housing requirements of Section 20-4.9. In the event of a conflict
between the provisions of Section 20-4.9 and this Section, then the requirements of
this Section shall prevail. In addition, 10% of all available units must be made
available to Affordable Housing tenants and evenly made available among Very
Low-Income Tenants, Low-Income Tenants and Moderate-Income Tenants to the
greatest extent practicable. However, if after 30 days of advertising the units as
Affordable Housing,
Furthermore, Mr. Pepe pointed out that the proposed Sub Paragraph h states the following:
Grocery Store Lease Exception: The affordable housing provisions of these MU-
M district regulations shall not apply if the owner and/or the developer: (1)
presents the City Manager with a duly executed lease in recordable form with an
initial lease term of twenty (20) years and providing at least two (2) lease
7
3
extension periods of five (5) years each for the operation of a Grocery Store; (2)
obtains a Certificate of Occupancy for the Grocery Store; and (3) obtains from
the City a local business tax receipt. For clarity and for the avoidance of doubt,
once the owner developer satisfies conditions (1), (2), and (3) in the immediately
preceding sentence, no affordable housing requirement of this or any other
provisions of the City’s Code or land development regulations shall thereafter
attach to the property. In the event of a conflict between any regulation and this
paragraph (h), the provisions of this paragraph (h) shall prevail.
Mr. Pepe then stated that if the conditions 1, 2, and 3 of subparagraph h are met, then the
property owner could start a grocery store and then have it vacant for 2 or more years without
any of the conditions in paragraph A coming into effect.
Ms. Ruiz asked if the Board could state that they don’t want to decide on a specific item and send
items back to the legal department for further review. Mr. Pepe stated that the Board could make
a recommendation and send it back to the City Commission for review.
Ms. Bonich asked if the information regarding low income was in the draft regulations when the
Board originally reviewed the item, to which Mr. Pepe stated that yes. the only language that
wasn’t in the regulation was subparagraph h. Ms. Tompkins added that the language was added
between the review by the Planning Board and the review by the City Commission. Ms. Bonich
then asked if the property owner puts the grocery store and it doesn’t work out, they won’t be
required to provide affordable housing, to which Mr. Pepe stated yes.
Mr. Miller asked why the Board has regulations in front of them that hasn’t been ironed out by
City staff. Ms. Tompkins responded that because Mr. Jeffery Bass is the author of the draft
ordinance, it would be best if he answer that question.
Mr. Jacobs stated that he has an issue with the draft ordinance. He stated that the removal of the
language for low income individuals is treating those individuals as if they were less than human.
Ms. Ruiz then let Mr. Jeffery Bass speak to the Board. Mr. Bass represents the owner of the Winn
Dixie property (5850 SW 73 Street) and has offices at 46 SW 1st Street. Mr. Bass gave an
explanation to the Board as to why the draft ordinance came about. He then provided the Board
with possible recommendations on the item.
The Chairperson opened the floor to public comments on PB-20-023.
None
The Chairperson opened the floor to public comments on PB-20-023.
Mr. Borges stated that he disagrees with Mr. Jacobs on the character of Mr. Bass. He also
encouraged the Board to support Vice Mayor Welsh on the item.
Mr. Miller asked if staff is recommending that this item be approved as written. Ms. Tompkins
responded that staff understands Mr. Pepe’s concerns and believes that all parties involved are
quite capable of working through the issues at hand before the next City Commission meeting.

Ms. Ruiz stated that based on what was presented by Mr. Bass, the Board has the ability to
recommend approval of the item without subsection A. She then stated that the Boards’ decision
is only a recommendation, not the final decision.
Mr. Pepe stated that subparagraph A is needed. The conflict comes up where the draft ordinance
talks about a grocery store that remains vacant for more than two (2) years. If subparagraph A is
removed, the owner won’t be required to put in any affordable housing. Mr. Pepe then
recommended that the following wording from the draft ordinance be removed because it is
creating a conflict:
“…or if the grocery store space remains vacant for two (2) years”
Ms. Ruiz asked Mr. Bass if there would be any issues with the removal of the recommended
language. Mr. Bass responded that if the board recommends that the language be removed, then
he would like to reserve his right to look at it within the context of the whole LDC to make sure
that there aren’t any unintended consequence. He then directed the Board towards subparagraph
h which has provision that states that when you are in the respective subparagraph, there is no
conflict because nothing else applies. He then stated that the language was drafted as narrowly
as possible and still serve its intended purpose.
Mr. Jacobs stated that it seems that the banks are having an effect on the City LDC, they won’t
lend money for a project that has an affordable housing component. Mr. Miller stated that banks
lend money for affordable housing all the time. The Board then held a brief discussion on the
subject.
Mr. Corey asked how the Board responds to something that the Board already approved but then
comes back for review with contingencies that weren’t there before. He also asked what it means
when the Board talks about affordable housing. Ms. Tompkins provided the Board with an
explanation of how the LDC defines affordable housing. Ms. Ruiz stated that the Board should
vote on the items as they come before the Board. Mr. Pepe added that the Board can do a lot of
different things to let the Commission know what their desires are. Mr. Miller then suggested that
the Board should hold a sunshine meeting on the topic of affordable housing. Regarding Mr.
Miller’s comment, Mr. Pepe stated that the City changed a provision in the LDC that would give
the Board the opportunity to hold Sunshine meetings
With no further discussion, the Board made a motion on the item.
Motion:Ms. Ruiz moved to recommend approval of PB-20-023 with the recommendation that
everyone have a conversation and be on the same page about the applicability and necessity of
certain language in subparagraph A. Mr. Miller seconded the motion.
Ms. Ruiz let Mr. Borges make final comments on the item. Mr. Borges requested that the Board
respect Vice Mayor Welsh, the author of the proposed ordinance, and allow him to make the
necessary changes as he sees fit. Mr. Borges then stated that the motion should be changed to be
“Approved as is” as the author indicated. Ms. Ruiz stated that her motion was to approve the item
as is with the recommendation that the misunderstandings need to be worked out. Mr. Miller
then stated that he seconded the motion because he agreed with what was said.

VI.Approval of the Minutes
1.Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes of September 14, 2020:
Ms. Ruiz explained that she incorrectly counted the votes on PB-20-017 and stated that the item
resulted in a tie vote instead of it being approved. Mr. Millerthen asked if there is a way that the
developer and neighborhood can be notified when the Board approves an item in error so that
the Board can reconvene in order to correct the discrepancy. Mr. Pepe stated that all parties
involved should keep track of the vote so that any issues can be corrected immediately. If an item
fails, it still goes to the City Commission with a recommendation of failure. Staff would have picked
up on it that the vote was not a failure and instead was a deadlock vote. He then closed by stating
that the chair announcing the vote is not written in stone. The correct vote will come out when
the meeting minutes are produced. Ms. Tompkins added that Mr. Lightfoot notified the applicant
but was not aware if he notified any of the neighbors. Ms. Tompkins then stated that the City
Commission would have met on the item before the next regular scheduled Planning Board
meeting would have taken place.
Ms. Ruiz moved to approve the meeting minutes as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Miller.

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 22 2020 NEIGHBORS 17SE
MIAMIHERALD.COM
The sprawling food fes-
tival that draws tens of
thousands to South Beach
every February is planning
to go on as an in-person
event.
The South Beach Wine &
Food Festival has been
lining up talent for a five-
day festival that would cut
capacity to one-third of its
usual attendance of
65,000, halve the number
of events, and limit itself to
outdoor-only dinners, the
festival’s founder said.
The festival still, by no
means, would be a small,
intimate affair.
It expects to draw more
than 20,000 people for its
57 events, down from 114,
from Miami-Dade to Palm
Beach counties. And the
large, outdoor events that
have been the festival’s
hallmark will still go on,
albeit at reduced capacity,
and broken up into two
sessions with an hour-long
cleaning period in be-
tween.
“We know if we don’t do
it right, we’ll screw it up for
the entire industry,” festiv-
al founder Lee Schrager
said.
Meanwhile, the festival
has drawn out a plan
intended to curb the threat
of coronavirus transmis-
sion, Schrager said. It in-
cludes one-way lines at
events, a mask require-
ment except while seated,
health screening and tem-
perature checks, no com-
munal food and no “meet
and greet” opportunities
with celebrity chefs.
And still, Schrager said,
all that could change if
COVID-19 cases continue
to surge. More than
140,000 new cases were
diagnosed in a single day
in the United States this
week. And in Miami-Dade,
the rate of people testing
positive for coronavirus has
nearly doubled in the last
week to more than 9 per-
cent. The county had to
drop to 10 percent before
the mayor allowed
restaurants to reopen.
Scaling back the large,
outdoor gatherings has
been the festival’s focus.
The annual Burger Bash,
which usually crams 4,000
people under a block-long
beachside tent, will be split
into two sessions of 1,000
people each, including
staff. One session will run
from 6-8 p.m., the other
from 9-11 p.m. The beach-
side BubbleQ, a barbecue
and champagne event, will
serve two groups of 1,000
people each.
Smaller dinners will still
be part of the festival. But
festival goers will be seated
at individual tables de-
pending on their party’s
size. Guests who want to
sit together will have to
buy tickets together. It’s a
lesson the festival learned
from a trial run at last
month’s New York City
Wine & Food Festival,
which Schrager also
founded.
The number of national
talent flying in will also be
cut from about 400 to 100
or so, Schrager said. That
will put the focus primarily
on local restaurants and
chefs, many of whom have
garnered national acclaim.
A full slate of events will
be available by Dec. 7 at
the website, sobewff.org,
Schrager said, and tickets
go on sale Dec. 14.
Schrager said the festiv-
al “will not make one
penny this year,” and for
the first time, the festival
is reimbursing participa-
ting chefs up to $700.
The intent of holding
the festival in some in-
person way, he said, was
to support a restaurant
industry that has been
decimated by the virus’
spread.
“If we do this correctly,”
Schrager said, “we hope to
lead the way for how
events like this can be
held.”
