04-21-09 Item 30• CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM South Miami MA- America City I 11, 2001 To: The Honorable Mayor Feliu and Members of the City Commission Via: Ajibola Balogun, City Manager " From: Sanford A. Youkilis AICP, Acting Planning Director Date: March 17, 2009 ITEM No. - - Subject: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AMENDING SOUTH MIAMI LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 20 -2.3 IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A DEFINITION OF A MOBILE PET GROOMING SERVICE AND AMENDING SECTION 20- 3.3(D) ENTITLED "PERMITTED USE SCHEDULE" IN ORDER TO ALLOW A MOBILE PET GROOMING SERVICE AS A "P" PERMITTED USE IN ALL RESIDENTIAL ZONING USE DISTRICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE BACKGROUND In December 2008 a local resident requested approval for operating a mobile pet grooming in the City of South Miami. The individual had already received a home occupational license for the business, however, that license is limited to operating a business office in the residential home. The resident was advised to check with the Planning • Department to determine if the type of use was permitted to operate within the City. Following consultation with the City Attorney the final ruling was that the use (mobile pet grooming service) was not listed in the Land Development Code's Permitted Use Schedule and a text amendment to the LDC would be required. The resident also had a problem with the'parking of her service truck/van at her home because it was classified as a commercial one -ton vehicle and a violation was issued by Code Enforcement. In that there were a series of misunderstandings concerning what was permitted and what was considered a violation, the City Manager requested that these issues be resolved by placing the matter before the Planning Board and City Commission in the form of LDC text amendments. STAFF OBSERVATIONS (1) The specific business proposed by the resident is to provide pet grooming operating out of a van which would park on the property and provide the grooming of a pet inside the vehicle. It is important to note that this type of use is different from the vans and trucks which come to a residence for repair, plumbing, or maintenance because up -keep of a building is required by Code. The mobile pet grooming service is not related to up -keep of a home but rather a voluntary service and therefore should be set forth as a separate permitted use. The proposed mobile pet grooming service essentially differs from the car wash and vendor uses in that it is self contained and no evidence of the service would be visible other than the parked van. (2) In order to operate this type of business in residential zones the mobile pet grooming service would have to be allowed as a "P" Permitted Use (matter.of right) in the RS, RT, and RM zoning districts. A definition of the particular use would provide conditions which assure minimum impact on the neighborhood while it is providing service. (3) The attached draft ordinance contains the amendment to the Pennitted Use Schedule; the ordinance also provides the following definition for the proposed use: • Section 20 -2.3 Mobile et groominz service -Shall mean a service operated from a motorized vehicle, van, or trailer where animals are bathed clipped or combed for the purpose of enhancing their appearance or health and for which a fee is charged; providing that the service is performed on private property not owned used or rented by the business provider; and providing that the service is to be totally conducted inside the vehicle, van, or trailer outside of public view. PLANNING BOARD ACTION The Planning Board at its February 24, 2009 meeting conducted a public hearing on the proposed amendment and adopted a motion by a vote of 6 ayes 0 nays recommending approval of the proposed amendments. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the proposed amendment as shown in attached draft ordinance be approved on first reading.

(3) The current Permitted Use Schedule allows for a mobile automobile wash/wax service as a "special use" in all office and commercial zoning districts. In addition the City Code allows for mobile vendors (food, products) in the old "I" zoning district which is now the TODD.district. Both of these uses have very strict conditions and requirements which must be observed.

Planning Board Meeting February 24, 2009 Page 2 of 5 Mr. Morton informed the public that item number three related to commercial vehicle parking had been deferred for the next meeting held on March 10, 2009. Mr. Youkilis advised that the City is proposing approval for operating a mobile pet grooming service. The individual has already received a home occupational license for the business. However, that license is limited to operating a business office in a residential home. The resident was advised to check with the Planning Department to determine if the type of use was permitted to operate within the City. Following consultation with the City Attorney the final ruling was that the use (mobile pet grooming service) was not listed in the Land Development Code's Permitted Use Schedule and a text amendment to the LDC would be required. The resident also had a problem with the parking of her service truck/van at her home because it was classified as a commercial one -ton vehicle and a violation was issued by Code Enforcement. In that there were a series of misunderstandings concerning what was permitted and what was considered a violation, the City Manager requested that these issues be resolved by placing the matter before the Planning Board and City Commission in the form of LDC text amendments. Mr. Youkilis informed the board on staff's observations and recommended to amend the Land Development Code Definition Section and the Permitted Use Schedule to allow a mobile pet grooming service as a permitted use within the RS, RT, and RM residential zone districts. tMr. Youkilis informed the Board that the individual conducting the business is present and will speak during the public hearing. Mr. Morton was concerned on the size of the vehicle. Mr. Youkilis commented that it is a trailer attached to a truck. He informed the Board that Code Enforcement's main concern was where the vehicle would be parked, the signage and the current definition. Mr. Morton questioned where the trailer would be taken. Mr. Youkilis replied that the trailer will be taken to the clients residence, parked on their drive way and the services will be provided inside the vehicle. Mr. Morton commented that the way the amendment was worded the services could be provided on the owner's property. Mr. Youkilis replied that the wording could be adjusted to prevent that, but as of this moment Code Enforcement has received issued for the vehicle. Mr. Morton recommended fixing the wording to be changed to "private property not owned by the owners of the mobile pet grooming service" Mr. Cruz questioned if this is only for the residential use. Mr. Youkilis replied yes. Ms. Yates commented that the applicant applied for an Occupational License. Mr. Youkilis commented that the Occupational License only limits you to the business inside the house, but no business is to be conducted outside the home. Chairman opened the public hearing. • Planning Board Meeting February 24, 2009 Page 3 of 5 • Speakers: NAME Victoria Calvin ADDRESS 6410 SW 64 Avenue SUPPORT /OPPOSE Support Ms. Calvin informed the Board that the trailer is a lawn recreational trailer that was bought and converted by the owner. It is a 16' trailer that is pulled by an SUV. When arriving at a client's house the vehicle is not parked on the street, but on the client's property. There is a generator that is wired to the trailer but is quiet. In regards to the water it does not leak since there are containers to contain all the grey water and the water is dumped in a permitted zone. If the water were to leak out all products used are organic. The license provided had to be a home occupational license and there are no clients are that come to my residence to conduct business. Ms. Calvin takes an hour to conduct business and the specialty is for pets with disabilities. After business is complete there is no damage done. Mr. Cruz questioned how the service would work in an apartment complex. Ms. Calvin responded that she receives special permission from the owner of the property or stays away from the situation. However, since the issue with the license in the City there has no business conducted in the city in fear of a fine being placed on her vehicle. Mr. Morton questioned if it is within the regulations to park a vehicle on a home site of that size and was this topic mentioned in the deferred item. Mr. Youkilis replied that they • have been issued violations; it's a business trailer with business signs and a different issue on the deferred item. Mr. Youkilis asked the business owner if she had received a fine for the trailer. Ms. Calvin replied that she. received a letter stating that the trailer needed to be relocated, but not a fine. The signs were the issue since it is a recreational trailer. Mr. Morton questioned if the Ms. Calvin's neighbor was present or what if the neighbors had any feed back on the issue. Ms. Calvin replied the house next door is vacant and their have been no complaints from her neighbors. Ms. Yates questioned that on a temporary business basis it would be allowed, but it is not permanently parked in its space. Mr. Youkilis replied yes. Mr. Morton questioned if the applicant was allowed to leave their vehicle on the property. Mr. Youkilis replied no. NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE Janet Lancealott ----- - - - - -- Ms. Lancealott questioned where the owner would be disposing of the grey water. Is she • able to dump the water on her property or on the road. She commented that it has been an issue with mobile car washes and many others. Ms. Calvin replied that she disposes the grey water by watering her plants or in grey water locations at gas stations. • • • Planning Board Meeting February 24, 2009 Page 4 of 5 NAME Roxanne Scalien Ms. Scalien questioned does parked on there property. size limitation. ADDRESS 6925 SW 63 court SUPPORT /OPPOSE Support the code permit a residence in the City to have a 16' trailer Mr. Youkilis stated that a recreational vehicle does not have a Mr. Morton questioned if a white canvas was placed over the trailer to cover it would that be allowed. Ms. Scalien commented that a covering the trailer or raising the fence be allowed. Mr. Morton commented that a 6' fence is the limit. Ms. Scalien commented that the City is not in the position to kill business, but promote it. Ms. Calvin commented that the Code Enforcement officers informed her that the issue with the parking is that definition of recreational vehicle is vague. Ms. Calvin advised that her trailer is titled as a recreational vehicle that and when the trailer was converted to have signs and its pulling capacity of 10,000 pounds or more became the issue. Mr. Youkilis commented that recreational vehicle does not have a size limitation it is the graphics that is the issue. NAME Dean Whitman ADDRESS 6259 SW 70 Street SUPPORT /OPPOSE Support Mr. Whitman commented that the City of South Miami is a working class city and the city should not become exclusive like the City of Coral Gables. Chairman closed the public hearing. Mr. Morton questioned if the Board could motion to remove the advisement when it is parked in its non use location. Mr. Youkilis suggested two amendments to the definition: "Shall mean a service operated from a motorized vehicle or van or trailer where animals are bathed, clipped or combed for the purpose of enhancing their appearance or health and for which a fee is charged; providing that the service is performed on private property not owned by the business provider and is totally conducted inside the vehicle or van outside of public view." Mr. Morton questioned if the adjustment to the definition would allow the business owner to conduct business in the City, but not park the vehicle on their property. Mr. Youkilis replied yes. Ms. Yates suggested leaving this concern to the next meeting since this is in reference to the third item that was deferred. Motion: Mr. Cruz moved to approve a mobile pet grooming service and amending Section Planning Board Meeting February 24, 2009 Page 5 of 5 20- 3.3(D) and Ms. Yates seconded with the following proposed text: "Shall mean a service operated from a motorized vehicle or van or trailer where animals are bathed, clipped or combed for the purpose of enhancing their appearance or health and for which a fee is charged; providing that the service is performed on private property not owned by the business provider and is totally conducted inside the vehicle or van outside of public view."
