CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:The Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Genaro “Chip” Iglesias, City Manager
DATE: December 19, 2023
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE RELATED TO A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ADDRESS
HOME GARAGES. (File No.: PB-23-022)
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, on second reading of the proposed ordinanceamending the Definitions found in Section
20-2.3 as well as the Supplemental Regulations found in Section 20-3.6 of the Land Development
Code (“LDC”) to address home garages in single-family residential zoning districts.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s current regulations do not differentiate between multifamily and commercial garages,
and those serving single-family homes. Single-family neighborhoods have different needs and
more potential uses for garages than commercial/multifamily districts, and yet the land
development regulations contain little guidance for their development and use. This legislation is
intended to provide guidance and to impose reasonable restrictions to ensure compatibility with
neighboring development.
REQUEST:
The City is requesting approval to amend the Definitions found in Section 20-2.3 as well as the
Supplemental Regulations found in Section 20-3.6 of the Land Development Code (“LDC”) to
address home garages in single-family residential zoning districts.
ANALYSIS:
Current definitions treat all garages interchangeably, without recognition that single-family home
garages have different impacts and involve distinct considerations than multifamily/commercial
garages. The proposed ordinance provides for definitions to distinguish single-family garages
from commercial garages and utility sheds in single-family districts, and provides for restrictions
related to use (requiring home garages be used solely in conjunction with a single-family
residence, limiting their use for Home Based Businesses consistent with state law, prohibiting
vehicle lifts), size (limiting them to 25% of the size of the principal structure and their height to 15
feet above grade), and impacts (requiring masonry construction to contain noise when in
proximity to neighbors).

PREVIOUS ACTION
The Planning Board (the “Board”) met to discuss the above item on October 10, 2023. During the
meeting, the Board had several questions regarding the prohibition of vehicle lifts. Staff explained
the purpose was to prevent certain commercial uses, such as automobile repair shops, from
opening in the single-family residential districts, which is currently prohibited. After discussing the
proposed amendment, the Board voted to defer the item until the next meeting because they
needed additional information.
The Board then met on November 14, 2023, to continue their review of the item. At the meeting,
the Board held a Public Hearing on the item and voted four (4) to zero (0) to recommend approval
of the request with changes to the draft ordinance.

4A .............................................................................................MIAMI HERALD FRIDAY DECEMBER 8 2023
In October, the Biden
administration announced
an easing of sanctions on
Venezuela’s oil sector as
part of an elections deal
between Maduro and the
opposition. Washington said
it would lift the sanctions if
by Nov. 30 Maduro began
the release of American
hostages “wrongfully de-
tained” by his government,
and if he lifted a ban that
keeps opponents who want
to run for president from
serving in office. So far,
Maduro has failed to com-
ply with the deadline, with
Maria Corina Machado, the
winner of the opposition’s
presidential primary, still
barred from office.
“He wants to be able to
consolidate power in a way
in which he can be assured
of a ‘sound victory’ when
the elections are held next
year,” said Ivelaw Lloyd
Griffith, a Guyana-born
expert on security in the
region.
Griffith said Maduro’s
reactivation of the Venezue-
lan claim to the Essequibo
territory is also about trying
to seize the oil discovered
there in recent years.
On Tuesday, Maduro
announced the creation of a
military zone to be carved
out of the Essequibo region,
which accounts for three
quarters of Guyana’s land
mass. An 1899 decision by
international arbiters placed
the area under the control
of what was then called
British Guiana. Venezuela’s
new military zone is among
seven measures that Madu-
ro claims he has been au-
thorized to pursue following
a Sunday referendum in
which voters overwhelm-
ingly supported his takeover
of the dense jungle region
that’s about the size of
Florida.
In addition to the mea-
sures, Maduro also ordered
state-owned companies to
grant licenses for the explo-
ration and exploitation of
oil, gas and mines in the
territory.
White House Press Secre-
tary Karine Jean-Pierre said
Wednesday that President
Joe Biden is monitoring the
developments.
“It’s concerning. We’re
watching this very, very
closely,” John Kirby, coor-
dinator for strategic com-
munications at the National
Security Council in the
White House, told reporters
in a press briefing on
Wednesday. “The [1899]
decision needs to be re-
spected. We obviously don’t
want to see any violence
occur here, or conflict oc-
cur, and we’re obviously in
touch with all of our part-
ners.”
WASHINGTON
Venezuela’s threats to
annex most of Guyana
might be an effort by its
leader to consolidate power
at home ahead of a poten-
tial presidential election
next year instead of a real
intention to invade its
neighbor, U.S. officials say.
But Washington is increas-
ingly concerned over how
far Nicolás Maduro might
be willing to go.
An internal State Depart-
ment assessment and the
consensus of international
observers and independent
analysts conclude that Ma-
duro is seeking leverage
against the United States at
the negotiating table by
threatening an invasion of
western Guyana, a region
that is rich in oil and gas
and has been disputed
between the two countries
for over a century.
Maduro has been under
U.S. sanctions for years for
undermining Venezuelan
democracy and is under
pressure from Washington
to hold free and fair elec-
tions.
The Biden administration
is not seeing imminent
signs of an invasion. But the
possibility is raising anxiety
in the region. United Na-
tions Secretary General
António Guterres on
Wednesday called on
Caracas to refrain from
using force and to respect a
recent ruling of the In-
ternational Court of Justice.
The U.N. court last week
called on Venezuela to
avoid taking any action that
would change Guyana’s
control and administration
of the Essequibo region.
“The Secretary-General
strongly supports the use of
solely peaceful means to
settle international dis-
putes,” Guterres’ spokes-
man, Stéphane Dujarric,
said, confirming that the
U.N. leader had spoken to
Guyana’s president, Irfaan
Ali, the previous evening
over the latest escalation.
AN EXCUSE FOR
MARTIAL LAW?
In Washington, concerns
mounted that Venezuelan
military action against
Guyana could provide Ma-
duro with an excuse to
impose martial law in his
troubled South American
nation of 28 million, setting
favorable conditions for
himself in a sham presi-
dential election next year,
officials and experts said.
Griffith, the security
expert, said Maduro is
“pushing the envelope on
what I call the psychological
warfare against Guyana that
he’s engaging in, the mil-
itary maneuver, the creation
of a base, the seven mea-
sures he announced.”
‘HUMILIATING
FOR BRAZIL’
The implications, he said,
could also affect Brazil,
which shares a border with
both countries, and other
South American nations,
including Colombia, which
has a border with Venezue-
la. Several of the nations in
the region have decades-
long claims about their own
borders.
“If you have an opening
of that Pandora’s box, there
are a lot of countries that
will rumble about their
border. They’ll presume,
‘Can we revisit, can we
revisit?’ ” he said.
“The extent to which
small and powerful friends
of Guyana, people who are
concerned about the respect
for international law, people
who are interested in peace
and not instability, are able
to signal directly and in-
directly to Maduro that he
has a certain line that he
cannot cross, that will influ-
ence how far he’s willing to
push the envelope,” Griffith
said.
Oliver Stuenkel, an asso-
ciate professor at the School
of International Relations at
Fundação Getulio Vargas in
São Paulo, thinks there are
few political actors capable
of restraining Venezuela
and said the crisis has be-
come “potentially a head-
ache for the Biden adminis-
tration” and for South
American leaders.
“It is quite humiliating for
Brazil,” which wants to be a
regional leader in helping to
resolve conflicts, he added,
because instead of turning
to Brazil for help, Guyana’s
president sought out the
U.S.
“Guyana has already
reached out to the United
States, in part, because it
doesn’t believe Latin Amer-
ican governments are capa-
ble or willing to condemn
Venezuela more forcefully
or as a last resort to actually
defend Guyana,” Stuenkel
said.
The crisis is a reflection
of the limitations of Brazil’s
influence in the region, he
added, because “this is the
kind of thing where a re-
gional leader would step up
and make sure this doesn’t
continue.”
Stunkel said he believes
Maduro’s plan isn’t to in-
vade “but to produce a
sense of crisis, mobilize the
population for as long as
possible because he needs
to divert attention from the
economic” crisis in Vene-
zuela.
“He now has a supposed
mandate,” he said, noting
that Maduro has published
a new map that includes a
new state of Essequibo in
Venezuela. “I continue to
believe an actual conflict is
unlikely, but it’s already
had a lot of effects.”
This would not be the
first time a Latin American
country has threatened or
waged war to distract from
its domestic problems.
There are several examples,
including the 1982 conflict
that erupted after Argentina
seized control of the Falk-
land Islands and pro-
claimed the end of 149
years of British sovereignty.
The 10-week war, ana-
lysts note, didn’t fare well
for Argentina, whose effort
ended in defeat against the
British military.
Brian Fonseca, director of
the Jack D. Gordon Institute
for Public Policy and an
adjunct professor in in-
ternational relations at
Florida International Uni-
versity, believes what Ma-
duro is doing isn’t that
different.
Though the border dis-
pute between Guyana and
Venezuela over the Essequi-
bo was supposed to have
been settled in 1899, Vene-
zuelans have been support-
ive of asserting claims over
the region.
Fonseca and others who
closely monitor the region’s
armies say that while Vene-
zuela’s military is signif-
icantly larger and better-
equipped than the Guya-
nese force, which has about
5,000 soldiers, the ability
of Venezuela’s 100,000-
plus soldiers to make their
way into the dense jungle of
the Essequibo region is in
question.
Venezuela’s forces suffer
from a “lack of resources,
lack of maintenance, inade-
quate training,” Fonseca
said.
Manuel Cristopher Figue-
ra, a former director of
Venezuela’s intelligence
service under Maduro, also
cast doubt on Caracas’
ability to invade is neighbor.
“Many of the positions
are vacant, and many of the
soldiers are poorly trained
or have not been trained at
all. So when you examine it,
the operability is practically
zero,” he said.
He and other Venezuelan
military experts do not
believe that an invasion is
in the works.
NO U.S. MILITARY
INVOLVEMENT
Were Maduro to send
troops into Guyana, none of
the experts interviewed by
the Miami Herald envi-
sioned a scenario in which
the United States, which
currently provides Guyana
with military expertise,
would deploy troops to
defend Guyana or the re-
gion.
“I think the Americans
would try to rally a coalition
of nations to condemn
Venezuela and put added
pressure” on Maduro, Fon-
seca said.
Fonseca said he believes
Maduro’s motive for the
saber-rattling is Machado’s
recent overwhelming victo-
ry in an opposition primary
for the presidency.
The U.S. pressure for free
and fair presidential elec-
tions in Venezuela next year
and the ability of the oppo-
sition to put forth its own
candidate, Fonseca added,
have “forced Maduro” to
seek other leverage.
Maduro’s threat to invade
Guyana, a staunch U.S. ally,
he added, “makes for far
more complex” negotia-
tions.
