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.

that license is limited to operating a business office in the residential home. The resident was advised to

(1) The Land Development Code currently permits "pet sales and grooming services" as a permitted use

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.
(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.
(4) 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.
(5) 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.

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.

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. 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.
