Hampton La iiDm, n From: C Director of BZCD Date: October 10, 1994 Re: PB -94 -014: Ordinance to Amend Provisions for Off -Site Parking #1) On September 27, 1994, the Planning Board voted 6:0 to recommend that whenever off -site parking lots are to be located adjacent to RO zoned or residential zoned property that a special use permit be required for approval of the parking lot. That Section 1 (F) (2) (a) be amended to read as follows: "Off -site parking spaces shall be permitted in RM, RO, LO, MO, NR, SR, GR, I, H, PR, and PI districts, with provision that if off - street parking is adjacent to residential zoned properties, and/or RO zoned properties, special use process would be applicable for approval." (Staff agrees with this recommendation, because it provides for notice to property owners and input from the residents who live near such properties.) #2) The Planning Board also voted 6:0 to recommend that off -site parking may be located up to 600 feet from residential and institutional uses (e.g., churches and synagogues) and to recommend that off -site parking spaces may be located up to 1000 feet from other kinds of uses (e.g., commercial and automotive). "That 600 be inserted at the appropriate location at Line 10 on Page 2 and that 1000 be inserted at the appropriate location at Line 11 on Page 2, as recommended by the Planning Board." (Staff agrees with this recommendation.) #3) The Planning Board voted 6:0 to recommend approval of the remaining portion of SECTION I which is contained in Section 20 -4.4 (17)(2)(c) as presented. SUGGESTED AMENDMENT FOR COMMISSION MEETING: That the first sentence contained in Section 20 -4.4 (G) at Line 29, 30 and 31 on Page # 2 be amended to read as follows: "Two or more uses may be permitted to share the same required off - street parking spaces in a common parking facility, according to the following table:" (Staff agrees with the recommendation; the present language is unclear as to the intent.) #5) The Planning Board voted 5:1 to amend the figure in the third column (WEEKENDS; 6 AM thru 6 PM) at Line 15 on Page 3 for "Theaters" from 50% to be 60 %. (Staff agrees with the Planning Board recommendations. The Planning Board thoroughly reviewed the allocations as set forth in the Joint Use table and found them acceptable.) #6) The Planning Board voted 6:0 to recommend that MetroRail parking considerations be extended up to 1500 feet from the station. That 1500 be inserted at the appropriate location at Line 30 on Page # 3 as recommended by the Planning Board. (Staff agrees with this recommendation; this distance can be walked in just over five minutes.) #7) The Planning Board voted 6:0 to recommend that the language in SECTION 4 be amended to include retail establishments and not to require any seating threshold for restaurants. That the proposed language in Section 20 -4.4 (I) be amended to read as follows: "Up to 50% of the required parking for hotels, hospitals, offices, nightclubs, restaurants, and retail establishments may be satisfied through the provision of valet parking spaces via special parking permit approved by affirmative vote of the City Commission." (Staff agrees with this recommendation and sees no reason for a threshold for restaurant seating.) #8) The Planning Board discussed different scenarios for the provision of valet parking spaces, but made no motion. Staff recommends that the City Commission adopt specific language to address the method that parking will be provided for valet parking in the City. SUGGESTED AMENDMENT FOR CITY COMMISSION: That language be added to Section 20-4.4 (I) to read as follows: "The number of required parking spaces that are not provided on the same property as the use approved for valet parking shall be provided via the off -site parking provisions in Section 20-4.4 (F)(2), or the City Commission may approve the use of on -street parking spaces to provide for a portion of or all of the required parking spaces. In no case shall vehicle stacking or double parking be permitted to supply the required parking spaces for the valet special parking permit. " #9) The Planning Board voted 5:1 to recommend approval of SECTION 5 and voted 6:0 to recommend approval of the remaining Sections of the ordinance.

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 16, 1994 ORDINANCES - FIRST READING #12 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 20- 4.4(F) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO INCREASE DISTANCES FROM OFF -SITE PARKING TO USES SERVED, TO PERMIT OFF -SITE PARKING IN RM AND RO DISTRICTS AND TO REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR LEASE AGREEMENTS; REPLACING SECTION 20- 4.4(G) JOINT USE SPACES; AMENDING SECTION 20 -4.4 (H) TO INCREASE THE DISTANCE FROM METRORAIL STATION TO PARKING FOR HOTELS, HOSPITALS, OFFICES, RESTAURANTS AND NIGHTCLUBS; CREATING A NEW SECTION 20- 4.4(J) TO PROVIDE PARKING AND ,REDUCED PARKING IN PROXIMITY TO METRORAIL STATION; AMENDING THE NUMBERING OF SUBSEQUENT SUB - SECTIONS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Moved by Commissioner Cunningham, seconded by Vice -Mayor Young, this be considered the first reading of the ordinance and it be placed on second reading and public hearing after consideration by the Planning Board. City Attorney Gallop explained that the City's Land Development Code restricts off -site parking in the City and some of the restrictions are unfeasible; i.e. a 20 year lease for parking. He has compared the City's Code with others and has prepared the memorandum from which Bill Mackey and others in the Building, Zoning and Community Development Department drafted the proposed ordinance. Commissioner Cooper addressed Section 4, (1), Valet Parking, wherein it states the valet parking via special parking is for nightclubs and restaurants ... "in excess of 200 seats ".. He stated that even restaurants with only 100 seats might be successful enough to need to have valet parking and suggested this number be left blank until the Planing Board has had a chance to make their recommendation. City Attorney concurred with the suggestion and the place for the number will be a blank. Mayor Carver asked if the ordinance can be passed on first reading without the number being filled in. City Attorney said that to fill in the number is not a requirement. Commissioner Cooper asked why the off -site parking is not permitted in the RT District; City Planner Mackey explained that there is some single family residential in that area also, and off - site parking may not be appropriate. Mr. Mackey explained the parking chart which is part of the ordinance and noted that the parking requirements are determined as to the usage for a particular time of the day. This would permit others to park in '' the spaces when they are not used by the building occupants. City Attorney Gallop read his memorandum for appropriate amendments: 1) Section 1. ss (2) (a) (R}equired off - street parking spaces may be located and maintained up to feet from a residential or institutional use served; up to feet from non - institutional and non - residential use served. 2) Reverse positions of subsections (2)(a) and (b) 3) Amend subsection (2) (c) by adding "under a unity of title insuring that the required parking will be provided" after the word "exist" in the second line. 4) Change the word "ceased" to "ceases" in both places. 5) Amend last line of subsection (2)(c) by changing word "Commission" to "City Manager ". 6) Amend Section 2. (G) Joinincr Use Spaces via Special Parking Permit by changing "shall" to 'may ". 7) Amend Section 4. (1) Valet Pa king via Special Parking Permit by adding "and" between offices and nightclubs and removing 11200 seats" and making a space " seats." 8) Amend Section 5 (J) Procedures for Special Parking Permit by changing the word "modifications" to "conditions ". 9) - Add a new Section 6. Amending Section 20 -5.2 of the Land Development Code to add 10) (14) off -site parking 11) Add a new Section 7. The Planning Board is requested to recommend appropriate distance limitations and nightclub and restaurant seating thresholds(s) for the proposed ordinance as it relates to valet parking. 12) Renumber Section 8. and Section 9. Moved by Mayor Carver, seconded by Commissioner Cooper, that all amendments be added. Motion passed 5/0: Mayor Carver, yea; Vice -Mayor Young, yea; Commissioner Bass, yea; Commissioner Cooper, yea; Commissioner Cunningham, yea. Motion on ordinance first reading, as amended, passed 5/0: Mayor Carver, yea; Vice -Mayor Young, yea; Commissioner Bass, yea; Commissioner Cooper, yea; Commissioner Cunningham, yea. � CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI ® INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM To: Mayor & City Commission From: William F. Hampton City Manager Background: Date: September 29, 1994 Re: Item # : Ordinance to Amend Provisions for Off -Site Parking This item appeared for first reading on July 26, 1994. Upon the request of the Administration the item was deferred to August 16, 1994, so that staff could include certain proposed elements, as set forth in the City Attorney's Memorandum, dated July 20, 1994. The Land Development Code contains regulations which allow business owners to lease parking spaces from other establishments, in order to provide for required parking; however, current legislation requires a minimum twenty -year lease. This places a great burden on prospective business operators, because most property owners are not willing to encumber their land for the minimum required twenty years. The City Attorney has requested that the Administration prepare the attached amendment to the Land Development Code to amend regulations regarding off -site parking. The Administration has relied upon the City Attorney's Memorandum dated July 20, 1994, for the substance of the proposed amendment. The memorandum is attached for your information. Recommendation: 1. Advantage to City: Provides for increased flexibility for the business community. 2. Disadvantages to City: None. 3. This Ordinance is sponsored by the City Attorney. 4. This Ordinance amends § 20-4.4 of the Land Development Code. 1. ,... __ . _ - -- Cloy of South Miami la2- INTER —OFFICE MEMORANDUM T0: Bill Hampton, City Manager Dean Mimms Bill Mackey FROM: Earl G. Gallop G �, RE: Proposed amendments to parking requirements DATE: July 20, 1994 Some of the downtown businesses have insufficient on -site parking and municipal parking. For instance, the Akashi restaurant cannot serve lunch because.of insufficient parking. Although the restaurant is located in proximity to the South Miami Matromdover station, and adequate parking is available off -site at the Metromover public garage and at the Bakery Centre garage, the restaurant cannot operate because. of restrictions in the land. development code. A. City of .South Miami restrictions. The land development code requirements make leased parking coimmercially unpractical, does not adequately allow for shared parking, and limits the benefit of being located near the Metromover station. The code allows off -site parking only if the parties enter into a parking lease for more than 20 years. Section 20• 4.4(F)(2)(c) requires.. (1) the owner of the property on which the use is located to enter into a lease "with a remaining term of twenty (20) years or more...." and (2) the owner of the off -site parking to record a covenant concerning the commitment of the property to the parking. The benefit of shared - parking is extremely limited. Section 20- 4.4(G) allows for shared parking by specified uses, such as. theater use of retail use parking. The. section excludes. restaurants. The. same requirements for a long -term lease and covenant apply. Off -site parking must be located within 300 feet of an , institutional use and 500 feet of another nonresidential use. S 20- 4.4(F)(2)(a). Some cities allow greater distances between noninstitutional uses and off -site parking. Off -site parking is not permitted in residential and residential office districts. S 2Q- 4.4(F)(2)(b). A reduction in off - street parking requirements for uses located near the Metromover station is spatially restricted. Section 20- 4..4(H) authorizes up to a 50% reduction of off - street parking requirement for uses located within 500 feet of the Metromover station. B. Coral Gables, Miami and Miami Beach restrictions. The cities of Coral Gables, Xiami and Miami. Beach have more liberal off -Bite requirements, in some regards. Coral Gables allows off -site parking. for residential. uses in commercial'. and industrial areas. S.13 -3(b), City of Coral Gables Zoning Code. It also allows- for off -site parking for residential, commercial and industrial uses »nd�r ti novanart c�� thout regard to duration of the agreement. S 13 -3 (b)- an`3c —(ia . — The city of Miami allows for use of off -site parking, by special exception, to satisfy up to 25% of the nonresidential parking requirements. A grant of a spacial exception requires a finding of practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship. 6.918, City of kiami. Zoning Code.- The maximum distance between off -site parking and the use, measured -by normal pedestrian routes, is•600 feet. S 918.1. However, within the central business district,- •a special use -permit may allow. olf -site parking without limitation on percentage -of parking spaces or. distance from the• principal use. S 615.7.2. And, no dmonetration of - difficulty or hardship is required where the off -site parking is within 1,000 feet of the use, or 600 feet of the Metromover station, or where provision is made to transport patrons from parking to the use. The city of Miami. Beach allows for off -site parking to be located within 1200 feet of the use. S 7.3, Miami Beach Code. Surplus and under- utilized parking can be leased.. The lease must be recorded and the owner of the burdened •property must demonstrate that there is adequate. parking to obtain.a building permit. or an occupational license. The code provides a matrix for shared parking. S 7 -10. The, uses include offices.,. banks,-retail, hotel, restaurants, theaters,. nightclubs and other uses. Additionally, hotels, ' nightclubs and'. restaurants in excess of 200 seats can satisfy all of their off = street parking requirements by valet Parking. Multi - family residential buildings can similarly satisfy UP to 50% of their parking requirements..S 7 -11. Amend the land develop wnt code, as follows: 2 :. Amend S 20- 4.4(F)(2')(a) to allow off-street parking within 600 feet of •a residential use, and within 1000 feet of other noninstitutional and nonresidential uses; ?. Delete 5 20- 4.4(F)(2)(b), prohibiting off -site parking in residential and residential office districts; s. Amend S 20- 4.4(F)(2)(c) to delete reference to a lease. requirement while retaining the covenant requirement; 4. Amend S 20- 4.4(G)(1) to provide expanded shared parking in a manner substantially similar to S 710, Miami Beach Code; 5. Amend S 20 -4.4 (G) (1) to .increase . the distance between the Metromover station and the use to 1200 feet; 5. Create a now S 20- 4.4(1) and renumber subsequent paragraphs to provide for valet parking to satisfy up to 50% of the. parking requireme at. for hotels, restaurants and nightclubs; and, 7. Make conforming amendments, or create a new paragraph (J.), to require a finding of practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship, and an. affirmative vote of 4 members of the city commission to authorize a reduction in the parking requirements when shared parking, valet parking, or proximity to the- Metromover-station are used.

In addition, Dry Cleaning Substations are permitted by Special Use in the LO Low - Intensity Office and MO Medium - Intensity Office zoning districts. Dry Cleaning Plants are permitted by Special Use in the SR Specialty Retail zoning district and are permitted in the I Intensive district. Dry Cleaning facilities are not included as a permitted use in the GR General Retail zoning district. The proposed ordinance permits Dry Cleaning Substations (no processing) and permits by Special Use Dry Cleaning Plants in the GR General Retail district. Dry Cleaning facilities would thus be permitted in the GR General Retail zoning district in the same manner that these facilities are permitted in the SR Specialty Retail district. Two Dry Cleaning Plants already exist in the GR General Retail district. These were permitted under the previous Zoning Code as Special Uses in the C -3 Arterial Commercial district, and are presently nonconforming uses. Furthermore, the regulations provided under the Special Use conditions in Section 20- 3.4(B)(7) require a 100 foot setback for structures from adjacent residential districts. The proposed ordinance eliminates this restriction and provides for more variety in the kind of equipment permitted (instead of the previous exclusive provision for a specific name - brand) which again furthers the City's goal of encouraging economic growth and redevelopment. The recommended modifications to the ordinance address acoustical and visual buffering concerns raised during the previous City Commission review, and if approved give the City Commission clear authority to require adequate buffering of any dry cleaning plant applications for Special Use Permit throughout the entirety of the SR and GR zoning districts throughout the City. Recommendation: 1. Approval, subject to the condition that SECTION 2 of the Ordinance be modified to read as follows: deare rrew- tqiwe ok.. (7) DRY CLEANING PLANT (a) Only nonflammable solvents in self- contained dry cleaning units shall be used. (b) A decorative wall of masonry, reinforced concrete, or precast concrete, six feet in height shall be erected along all interior property lines, including the rear property line, which abut residential districts (RS, RT, RM, and RO). This requirement may be waived or modified by the City Commission if adequate acoustical and visual buffering are provided. (c) Landscaping in addition to that which is required under Section 20-4.5 LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS may be required by the City Commission. 2. Advantage to City: Provides for a more internally consistent Land Development Code, increases flexibility for the business community, and encourages entrepreneurship. 3. Disadvantages to City: None. 4. This Ordinance is sponsored by Commissioner Cunningham. 5. This Ordinance amends Sections 20- 3.3(D), 20- 3.4(B)(7)(a) and 20- 3.4(B)(7)(b) of the Land Development Code. 6. The Planning Board voted 6:0 to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance. The Planning Board also recommended that provisions be made to require a six-foot high solid masonry wall and an Areca palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) hedge as a buffer. The Areca palms must be at least 5 feet in height upon planting, must be allowed to grow to their full, natural height (40 feet), and must be spaced tightly enough to create a solid barrier. Alternate species may be suggested or recommended by the ERPB. This measure would only be required along property lines which are adjacent to residential zoning districts (RS, RT, RM, and RO). a (e & . r - r - a i i triv. 1 ORDINANCE NO. 2 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, 3 AMENDING SECTION 20 -3.3 (D) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 4 TO PERMIT DRY CLEANING PLANTS IN THE GR GENERAL RETAIL 5 ZONING DISTRICT; AMENDING SECTION 20 -3.4 (13)(7)(a) OF THE 6 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO REMOVE THE DISTANCE 7 REQUIREMENT; AMENDING SECTION 20 -3.4 (13)(7)(b) OF THE LAND 8 DEVELOPMENT CODE TO INCLUDE ALL MANNER OF SELF - 9 CONTAINED DRY CLEANING UNITS; PROVIDING FOR ORDINANCES 10 IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND, PROVIDING 11 FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 12 WHEREAS, the City of South Miami adopted a Comprehensive Plan on January 18, 13 1989, which included the following language concerning the General Retail (Two -Story) Land 14 Use designation: 15 The general retail use category is intended to permit a broad range of retail 16 uses.

CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI ® INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM To: William F. Hampton City Manager From: ean Mimms, AICP Director of Building, Zoning & Community Development Dept Date: October 11, 1994 Re: PB- 94 -012: Dry Cleaning Facilities to be Permitted in the GR District On August 30, 1994, the Planning Board voted 6:0 to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance to permit dry cleaning facilities in the GR General Retail zoning district. The PIanning Board also recommended that provisions be made to require a six -foot high solid masonry wall and an Areca palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) hedge as a buffer. The Areca palms must be at least S feet in height upon planting, must be allowed to grow to their full, natural height (40 feet), and must be spaced tightly enough to create a solid barrier. Alternate species may be suggested or recommended by the ERPB. This measure would only be required along property lines which are adjacent to residential zoning districts; this measure also assumes that all structures do meet all other required setbacks. Staff reported to the Planning Board that the exact location and the extent (along the entire property line or some portion of the property line) of the Areca palm hedge and six foot high solid masonry wall (if approved as a Special Use condition for the use) would be determined as a part of the overall site plan review that is required under the Special Use Permit procedures. At the second reading of this Ordinance before the City Commission on September 9, 1994, following discussion regarding buffering residential areas from dry cleaning plants, the Commission tabled the ordinance. BZCD subsequently received (on September 19, 1994) from park and recreation consultant Tom Alexander written suggestions for such buffering. Mr. Alexander suggested that an applicant ( "developer ") for a dry cleaning plant submit a site plan, with or without a wall, with landscaping as follows: with a wall (8" thick wall) - live oak or black olives on side of wall facing residential area; clusters of sabal palms on side of wall facing dry cleaning plant. no wall - groupings of trees interspersed with plantings of silver buttonwood, cocoplum, surinam cherry, and azaleas. dtIre rred These are useful suggestions which will be considered by departmental staff whenever a site plan for a dry cleaning plant is submitted to the City in any zoning district [I, SR, and GR (proposed by this Ordinance)]. Each site plan will be thoroughly reviewed on its merits and in full consideration of any adjoining residential districts. Applications requiring Special Use Permits will be subject to the requirements recommended below, developed recently by staff, which give full latitude to the City Commission to implement appropriate buffers (to address visual and acoustical impacts) between specifically proposed dry cleaning plants and abutting residential districts. The Ordinance before the Commission only addresses the subject of modifying the Code in order to allow Dry Cleaning Plants (and Dry Cleaning Substations (no processing), which will not require a Special Use Permit) in the GR district. The Ordinance will apply throughout all GR districts and is not site specific. There is no site plan for a dry cleaning plant before the City Commission at this time, as would be required for a Special Use Permit. The following language is recommended with respect to Section 20 -3.4 SPECIAL USE CONDITIONS (B) Special Requirements (7) DRY CLEANING PLANT (a) Only nonflammable solvents in self - contained dry cleaning units shall be used. (b) A decorative wall of masonry, reinforced concrete, or precast concrete, six feet in height shall be erected along all interior property lines, including the rear property line, which abut residential districts (RS, RT, RM, and RO). This requirement may be waived or modified by the City Commission if adequate acoustical and visual buffering is otherwise provided. (c) Landscaping in addition to that which is required under Section 20-4.5 LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS may be required by the City Commission. de4erreot ite^ CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM To: Dean Mimms, AICP Date: August 10, 1994 Director of Building, Zoning & Community Development Dept From: Bill Mackey Re: Item #2: PB -94 -012 Planner Dry Cleaners Ord REQUEST: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 20 -3.3 (D) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO PERMIT DRY CLEANING PLANTS IN THE GR GENERAL RETAIL ZONING DISTRICT; AMENDING SECTION 20-3.4 ( B)(7)(a ) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO REMOVE THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENT; AMENDING SECTION 20 -3.4 (B)(7)(b ) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO INCLUDE ALL MANNER OF SELF - CONTAINED DRY CLEANING UNITS; PROVIDING FOR ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City Commission has requested review of the zoning districts where dry cleaning facilities are allowed. Dry cleaning plants are currently permitted in the I Intensive district and permitted via special use approval in the SR Specialty Retail district. Dry cleaning substations (no processing) are permitted in the I, SR and NR Neighborhood Retail districts and permitted via special use approval in the LO Low - intensity Office and the MO Medium - intensity Office districts. Staff has proposed an ordinance permitting dry cleaning plants in the GR district via special use approval and permitting dry cleaning substations (without any special use approval) in the GR General Retail zoning district. The Land Development Code under 20-3.4 ( B)(7)(a ) requires that any structure containing a dry cleaning facility must be setback 100 feet from any adjacent residential zoning district. Staff has proposed removal of this requirement for dry cleaning plants. The previous zoning code (1971) did permit dry cleaning plants in both the C -3 (GR) and C -2 (SR) zoning districts via special use permit approval; however, only the C -2 (SR) district required the 100 foot setback from residential districts. The current Land Development Code (1989) also permitted dry cleaning plants in both the GR and SR zoning districts via special use approval upon adoption in 1989; however, the Code was amended on August 21, 1990, per Ordinance # 11 -90 -1451, deleting a variety of uses in the GR zoning district. The uses which were deleted were those considered as not strictly retail in nature. d� '�rreot to o%w, Under he previous zoning Node (:971 :he '00 Foot setback from reside.,,-ial districts only applI .'-J to dry cleaning plants in the C -2 (SR) zoning district. Dry cleaning plants were permitted in the C -3 (GR) zoning Ji:;c; ;. _ via special use approval with a required setback of 20 feet from residential districts (which applied to any structure in C regardless of the use). Under the 1971 zoning code, a 100 foot setback from residential districts was also required for religious structures, bowling alleys and skating rinks via the special use permit approval process. Fraternal organizations and private clubs were required a 50 foot setback from "more restrictive residential" districts. Under the Land Development Code (1989) the 100 foot setback requirement was expanded to include used merchandise stores, fraternal organizations, private clubs, automobile, boat and recreation dealerships, and autowash operations, as well as religious structures, bowling alleys, skating rinks, and dry cleaning plants, all of which require special use approval. This was apparently viewed as a protection for residential uses. Staff has reviewed the existing conditions at two dry cleaning plants. A report has been prepared by our Planning Intern concerning this research and the report is attached. RECOMMENDATION: That the i•'anning Board vote to recommend approval of the ordinance to the City Commission ._nd to suggest at least two alternatives for the visual and acoustical screening of future dry cleaning plants when such facilities will be adjacent to a residential district. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The proposed ordinance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; Consideration has been given Lo the nature :)f the proposed use in regards to the Comprehensive Plan language which describes the General Retail land use designation which reads as follows: General Retail (Two- Story) The general rattail land use category is intended to permit a broad range of retail uses. However, automobile service stations, gas stations, repair establishments, fast -food restaurants and similar uses that are strongly oriented toward the motoring public should not be permitted or should be permitted only with special use approval and only in limited numbers. Dry cleaning plants are proposed k:o be permitted via special use approval; this is consistent with the language above. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 20-3.3(D), 20 -3 .4(B)( 7)(a ) and 20 -3 .4(B)(7)(b) , Land Development Code. dv4rrest liet" CmTY OF SOUTH M2AM= INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM To: Bill Mackey Date: August 8, 1994 Planner From: Brian Soltz Re: Dry Cleaning Planning Intern Facilities This memorandum is in consideration of the proposed dry cleaners ordinance which is scheduled for the Planning Board meeting of August 9, 1994 (Item 2, PB -94 -012). Modern dry cleaning facilities are not as problematic as older establishments. However, dry cleaning plants, both old and new, cannot be absolutely free of difficulties which may be largely inherent in the dry cleaning industry itself. After comparing two dry cleaners, I have come to a conclusion that the major problems with dry cleaning plants are noise and a slight odor. This comparison study concerns Dry Cleaners USA on US 1 and 27 Avenue, which is very modern and recently opened. The other dry cleaners involved is Mr. Joseph's Dry Cleaners, an older and more worn facility, located on Bird Road and 64 Avenue. The majority of noise problems comes from two sources: operating boilers /compressors and leaving rear doors open. The boiler /compressor problem is a uniform problem of all dry cleaners. In order for dry cleaning facilities to operate their pressing machines, they must use a 10 -15 horsepower boiler and a five (5) horsepower compressor. These machines combine to create a "moderate" level of noise heard about 100 feet away at ground level. The other source of noise is attributed to the practice of leaving the establishment's rear door open. Leaving the doors open prevents a buildup of noxious fumes inside the facility. This practice results in a "small" amount of noise and a slight odor (ascribed to several sources, including bleach, starch, chlorine, etc.) within approximately 25 feet of the facility. This problem was observed at both locations. As the dry cleaning plant study showed, the 100 -foot setback requirement from residential districts is desirable and necessary. To compensate for a reduced 100 -foot setback, an applicant might erect an 8 -foot wall and plant 10 -foot (or larger) trees every 20 feet; a building should also have a parapet roof. These amendments would provide adequate visual and acoustical screening. de��r�ed 4em k-0 L.UMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE GROUP. INC.

I have spoken with the representatives from One Hour Martinizing Dry Cleaning concerning your questions. This dry cleaner wants to lease approximately 2,250 square feet of a 6,000 square foot building proposed to be built at 6228 S. Dixie Hwy, South Miami, Florida. They will be using only one (1) self contained dry cleaning machine at this location. Their usual business hours are Monday -Friday 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday 8:30 am to 5:30 am. The dry cleaning machine will not be operated after usual business hours. The dry cleaning machines do not put out any exhaust, either inside the business or to the outside environment. They use a closed loop system were the clothes go in dry and come out dry. All fumes are capture and contained inside the machine. The machines do not make an inordinate amount of noise during operation. At the end of operation for the day air pressure build up is released making a sound of "rushing/ escaping pressurized air" which is the most noise it makes in a day. Please give me a call if I can be of further assistance to you concerning this matter. Sincerely, CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE GROUP, INC. Vincent Tumlin Associate (305) 381 -6466 177 BRICKELL AVENUE.

The owner of the property and the business owner are dedicated to building a new building and installing quality landscaping on the site'. Commissioner Bass noted that there are other dry cleaning establishments, on the North end of the City, which were built prior to the 100' distance requirement. She would like to know the reasoning behind establishing this distance requirement which appears to have been done after the dry cleaning businesses were built. Building & Zoning Director Mimms stated that he has not found any tangible evidence as to why that might be. He has spoken with DERM, Metro -Dade County Zoning Department, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection and he was informed that they do not involve themselves in distance criteria. Commissioner Bass explained her concern is how the operation of the necessary equipment would affect the neighbors, i.e, excessive noise. Mr. Mimms responded that he will speak with Mr. Tumlin, who is the broker for the property on which the dry cleaning plant will be located, to obtain information in this regard. Vice -Mayor Young stated that residents located just behind the subject property have voiced their concern. Those residents have been receptive to, and Mr. Tumlin as agreed to, a plan to plant 12 - 15 trees, no less than 1' in diameter and a minimum of 12 feet high at the rear property line as a buffer. Building & Zoning Director Mimms noted that 1' in diameter is sizable, and suggested about 3 1/2 inches or 4" at breast height and maybe 13 feet high. City Manager said that Administration will follow up and make certain that the property is appropriately screened and shaded. Mayor Carver said the proposed ordinance is to encourage business in the general retail, in general, so that requirements for landscaping as visual and sound buffers should be included in the ordinance or in the special use requirements so it would pertain to all dry cleaning establishments in the GR Zoning District.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 20- 3.3(0) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO PERMIT DRY CLEANING PLANTS IN THE 'OCR" GENERAL RETAIL ZONING DISTRICT; AMENDING SECTION 20- 3.4(B)(7)(a) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO REMOVE THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENT; AMENDING SECTION 20- 3.4(B)(7)(b) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO INCLUDE ALL MANNER OF SELF - CONTAINED DRY CLEANING UNITS; PROVIDING FOR ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Moved by Commissioner Cunningham, seconded by Vice -Mayor Young this be considered the second and final reading of the ordinance and it be adopted and assigned the next number by the City Clark. Mayor Carver deemed public hearing in session. 1) Ms. Karen Zehlar, Cambridge House Apartments, 6231 S. W. 78th Street, voiced concern for the residents in that area that there will be a lot of noise from patrons and from delivery trucks. She noted that there is already a large amount of noise from Taco Bell and Kenny Rogers Chicken. 2) Ms. Joyce Schachter, 6721 S. W. 68th Terrace, voiced concern with contamination problems and fumes. She urged that before this ordinance is adopted, there is consideration given to the environment. 3) Mr. Vincent Tumlin, realtor, 7362 S. W. 80th Street, said that the property he has for sale is 6,000 square feet on Dixie Highway, and the dry cleaning establishment that is proposed will take up about 1/3 of the building. The system is "closed loop" and self - contained. Hazardous material is captured and picked up by a company which handles disposal of hazardous material and is bonded in that capacity. The dry cleaning establishment will also put up sound barriers and cooperate with the surrounding property owners. No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was deemed closed. City Planner Bill Mackey read that the staff had recommended approval; Planning Board had voted 6/0 for approval and also included their recommendation for placing a masonry wall behind the property as a barrier and screening the wall with a 5' high hedge of Eureka Palms. Discussion was held with regard to landscaping of a barrier wall and on which side the plants should be placed. Staff noted that the Land Development Code is not specific on this issue. When an applicant comes in with their site plan, as required by the Code, the landscaping can be addressed at that time. Commissioner Cunningham voiced support of the ordinance and stated that he has spoken with Mr. Tumlin and foals that Mr. Tumlin has addressed the concerns that have been brought to his attention. Commissioner Cunningham said that he would like to sea the City work cooperatively with others to bring business into the City. deferred i ern A c'P'T4 �F " .r I ( `r `� ( ili-r t N 6� 01, Cir,�Cc, W,%M- %jst -r" /Vice-Mayor Young stated that he had concerns, originally, with the proposal meeting DERM requirements, and Mr. Tumlin has submitted the appropriate material about meeting requirements of that agency. Noise is a factor, and he would like to sea a barrier of higher than 51. However, he would first like the reaction of Ms. Zehler with regard to a masonry wall as they can reflect heat to adjoining properties. Perhaps the plants can shade the wall and the wall can be painted pale colors. City Attorney noted that the ordinance addresses dry- cleaning establishments in GR Districts City -wide. Mayor Carver noted that there must be enough safeguards built in to address potential noise and odor problems. DERM does have new protective controls, but there has been approval of items in the past, in residential areas, and-then problems arose later. Commissioner Bass asked why the 100" distance requirement from residential was removed. It must have served some purpose in the past. This applicant is working very hard, but the ordinance will apply to other applicants for other establishments. Commissioner Cooper stated he felt the major concerns are odor and environmental impact. He would like to see the City have a clear definition of an acceptable noise level by *a quantitative method and have this added to the Land Development Code. Vice -Mayor Young spoke in favor of the ordinance, but would like to defer the item until Staff has the opportunity to review and made recommendations on commercial property which interface with residential. Motion on ordinance failed 1/4: Vice -Mayor Young, yea; Mayor Carver, nay; Commissioner Bass, nay; Commissioner Cooper, nay; Commissioner Cunningham, nay. Commissioner Cooper again noted the noise issue and suggested contacting OSHA for noise impact information. City Attorney stated that the City should establish a noise standard which would provide for study by decibel to sea what is excessive and to permit expert testimony. Moved by Vica -Mayor Young, seconded by Commissioner Cooper, that the ordinance be reconsidered. Motion to reconsider passed 4/1: Vice -Mayor Young, ye;a Commissioner Bass, yea; commissioner Cooper, yea; Commissioner Cunningham, yea; Mayor Carver, nay. Moved by Vice -Mayor Young, seconded by Commissioner Cooper, / this item be tabled. Motion to table passed 4/1: Vice -Mayor Young, yea; Commissioner Bass, yea; Commissioner, Cooper, yea; Commissioner Cunningham, yea; Mayor Carver, nay.

APPEAL FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD ORDER OF VIOLATION FILE NO. 93 -800: COMPLAINT NO. 93 -956 RE: 5734 S.W. 72nd STREET, SOUTH MTAMI, FLORIDA Histo In June 1993, the Zipp's store was broken into through the store front and more than $9,000 in merchandise stolen. Following this burglary, 3 -M security film was installed on the store front, notwithstanding which the premises were again broken into through the store front in July 1993, and approximately $1,500 in merchandise was stolen. In August 1993, an attempted break -in occurred which was prevented by South Miami police happening on the scene. After the attempted break -in, Zipp contracted with Advance Hurricane Shutter Company of South Miami for hurricane /security shutters. Advance filed application for building permit and proceeded to install the shutters in October 1993. Unknown to Zipp, the application had not been pursued by Advance and had not been granted. Since installation of the shutters, which are closed at night, there has been no break -in nor any reported attempted break -in. Apparently, the shutters provide the needed security. Subsequent to the filing of the application by Advance and the installation of the shutters, Ordinance No. 19 -93 -1545 was enacted which would prohibit the use of the security shutters for nighttime protection. On February 1, 1994, the Environmental Review and Preservation Board denied Advance's request for the approval of the shutters it had installed. On February 15, 1994, Martin Hochman, President of Zipp, brought the matter to the attention of the City Commission and it was the sense of the City Commission that store front security in downtown South Miami and the ordinance required further study and consideration. (See extract of Commission meeting attached). On August 18, 1994, the Code Enforcement Board found Zipp to be in violation of "Section: 301 SFBC Work Without Permit." This appeal is taken under Section 20 -6.2 of the South Miami Code, Section (F) of which confers upon the City Commission broad authority in considering appeals to "vary or modify any regulation or provision of the Code relatine to the use, construction or alteration of buildines or structures or the use of land, so that the spirit of the Code is observed, nublic safetv and welfare secured, and substantial justice done." (emphasis added). Zipp respectfully requests the Order of the Code Enforcement Board be reversed, and that the Ordinance be reviewed and amended to permit reasonable store front security for businesses particularly at risk of break -in and burglary, such as sporting goods stores. Zipp is willing to participate with any committee appointed for such review. Factors for Consideration: In the past 18 months, sporting goods stores have been targeted by burglars. In addition to the Zipp's break -ins and attempted - break -in, burglaries have occurred at 3 other sporting goods locations in South Miami and nearby locations. The locations outside of the City of South Miami are now protected by hurricane /security shutters. The total cost to date to Zipp for restoration and repair after break -ins, loss of merchandise, application of security film and shutters is in excess of $19,600. Although, after careful review of alternatives, it is Zipp's opinion that hurricane /security shutters provide the best and most reasonable protection, in an effort to extend every possible cooperation with the City's objectives, Zipp has employed 3 contractors to file applications for interior security shutters, interior roll -down grills and an interior grid of security bars, respectively, so that these may be considered by the City. R 443 EXTpACT FMM MINUTES OF REGULAR CITY oOMMISSION MEETING ON FEBRUARY 15, 1994 3) Mr. Martin Hochman, Zipp's 5pertin5 Goods, 5734 Sunset Drive, addressed the Commission wit..h regard to the ERPS�s denial of shutters for his storefront. He exclained that he had been burglarized on two occasions and a'_. -cst burglarized on two other occasions. He feels that the shutters are very necessary. The recommended material, Lexan, does not provide the same protection and it is his opinion that shutters are the only viable solution to the crime sittiatior.. Discussion was held with --agar: to the South Miami Hometown Plan which preferred to keep windows unshuttered in the downtown area at night. if there is a problem, the Hometown Plan Consultant needs to address the problem and sclutions can be discussed. commissioner Bass stated her feeling that the attempt of the Hometown Plan was to --.take the downtcwn area comfortable and safe for walking with the windows unshuttered in the evening. However, it is not the desire of the Hometown Flan not to have the downtown area secure. Vice -Mayor Young stated that to concept of the Hometown Plan may be good, but may not be real =stic. He would like a specific time frame of one week in which this can be resolved. The City Manager should work with the c-onsultants on the Hometown Plan to address the matter. Commissioner Cunningham stated that his business had numerous break -ins until the shutters were installed. Now the business is secure. The City needs to come tc some conclusion o= how to secure the downtown area.

Planner Bill Mackey CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI From: Victor Dover, AICP SEP - 2 99�r f U .......................... 0 Subject: Minimum Frontage requirements in the Hometown District I recommend that the Land Development Code be amended to eliminate the minimum Frontage (width) requirements for Minimum Lot Sizes in the Hometown District. See page 62 of the Code. Presently the required lot width in the underlying SR District is 50'. Some existing lots do not comply with this requirement. In other locations desirable subdivisions of existing parcels would not comply. This amendment is consistent with the intent of the Hometown Plan to encourage traditionally- scaled redevelopment and the variety and texture that smaller buildings provide. This amendment also reflects the input of citizen participants in the 1992 charrette, many of whom expressed that they disfavor large buildings and favor filling in the neighborhood with more, smaller buildings. Two ways occur to me for how to do this: 1) Add a footnote (presumably "c ") that indicates that the Frontage requirement "Does not apply within the Hometown District" to those categories found within the Hometown District. This will primarily affect the SR category but small areas within other underlying categories will also be affected. OR 2) Alternatively, insert language within the section relating to the Hometown District Overlay Ordinance, providing that "there shall be no minimum lot width requirement within the Hometown District." The Overlay Ordinance prevails where there is conflict between the overlay ordinance and the underlying zoning. It appears to me that option 1 above is preferable and less confusing.

SITE PLAN REQUIRErMNTS, DEFINITIONS, PARIONG REQUIREMENTS, REGULATING PLAN, BASIC STANDARDS, PRE - APPROVED ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS, STREET STANDARDS, STREET AND ALLEY DEDICATIONS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILTTY, INCLUSION IN THE CODE. AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, A joint effort which included the City government, property owners, residents. homeowners, merchants, consultants, committees, and South Miami Hometown, Inc., was undertaken in 1992 and 1993 to determine a desired future for the City's downtown district; and That effort included an extensive design and analysis process, and incorporated an urban design charrette in November 1992 in which many individuals and groups participated; and A document entitled the 'Hometown Plan' was produced summarizing the desired physical outcome and proposed strategies for implementation; and The 'Hometown Plan' accepted in principle by the City Commission via Resolution 14 -93 -9358, recommends that modifications to the City's Land Development Code must be made; and The Commission now wishes to implement the recommendations; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA: Section 1. That the Land Development Code of the City of South Miami be, and hereby is, amended to add a new Article VII, as follows: ARTICLE VII, HOMETOWN DISTRICT OVERLAY ORDINANCE 20 -7.1 TITLE. This Article shall be known as the "Hometown District Overlay Ordinance" (HD). 20 -7.2 INTENT, APPLICABILITY, AND BOUNDARIES A. Intent. These land development regulations reinforce South Miami's Comprehensive Plan by establishing new standards for development as an overlay to existing development regulations within the boundaries of the Hometown District. These new regulations intend to invigorate the economic and social vitality of South Miami's "main street" business center, distinct from Dadeland -type malls and West Kendall -type strip development, by the following actions: I . Enhance South Miami's community identity and sense of place through the design and placement of buildings and streets to create a distinct "hometown" town center. 2. Reduce commuter traffic demand on streets within the Hometown District to permit wider sidewalks and reduced traffic noise, velocity, and air pollution. 3. Use buildings, arcades, trees, and modifications to street widths, curbs and sidewalks to create a shaded, interesting and safe environment that works for pedestrians as well as for cars. 4. Emphasize the use of incentives such as reduced parking requirements and expedited permit processing to achieve a balance of retail, service, office, and residential uses characteristic of healthy town centers. 5. Implement a parking code that treats parking as an element of public infrastructure in an urban center (instead of a private matter in 4 ,trip center) and that recognizes the shared parking benefits of vertically mixed development and the opportunities of an enhanced Metrorail connection. 6. Establish a development review process that is timely and predictable and that requires no discretionary review of projects that conform to the specifications provided in these new standards. B. Applicability. The requirements of this Article shall be in addition to each and every other requirement of the City of South Miami Land Development Code (Code), and in the case of conflict, the provisions of this Article shall control.

Hometown District Parking Committee. Parking in the Hometown District must be developed and managed primarily as an clement of infrastructure critical to enhancing South Miami's tax base through economic success of the District. The five City Commissioners and four private citizens shall serve as the Hometown District Parking Committee charged with oversight of the supply, convenience, safety, and management of parking. The four private citizens shall be appointed to two (2) year terms by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City Commission and shall include one or more landowner(s) and one or more tenant(s) from the District and one or more resident(s) of South Miami. The Director of Building, Zoning and Community Development shall serve as the executive secretary to this Committee. The Committee shall report to the City Commission no less than annually on the state of parking in the Hometown District and shall from time to time make recommendations to the City Commission for changes in the parking system, for the fees paid into the Parking Infrastructure Trust Fund, and for the allocation of Trust Fund monies. The Mayor shall appoint the chairman of the Committee. A quorum shall be five members and an affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be required to pass upon any matter the Committee recommends. B. Required Parking. Within the Hometown District, the following adjustments to the number of parking spaces required by Section 20 -4.4 (B) of the Code are provided: I. On- street spaces adjacent to a lot shall count toward the parking requirements for that lot; a partial space longer than 11' shall count as a full space. 2. Where arcades are optional, buildings with arcades shall receive an additional 5% reduction in the required number of spaces. 3. In addition to the above, one of the following may apply: a. 2 -story buildings shall receive a 15% reduction in the required number of spaces. b. Buildings of two or more stories with uses from two of the three use categories provided herein under "Permitted Uses," each use constituting no less than 3010 of the gross floor area, shall receive a 30% reduction in the required number of spaces. Buildings of three or more stories with uses from each of the three use categories provided herein, each use constituting no less than 25% gross floor area, shall receive a 45% reduction in the required number of spaces. C. Procedure. 1. The required number of spaces shall first be calculated pursuant to Section 20 -7.12 for each permitted use. The appropriate reduction in parking spaces shall then be calculated as provided in Section 20 -7.613 above. If the reduction calculated includes a fraction less than a whole number, the reduction calculated shall be rounded up and subtracted from the required (unadjusted) number of spaces to determine the adjusted parking requirement. 2. The difference between the number of spaces provided, including on street parking, and the number of spaces required shall then be determined. If there are fewer spaces provided than required, the applicant must pay into the Parking Infrastructure Trust Fund a fee, as determined from time to time by the Parking Committee, reflecting the actual land and construction costs for parking, for each space required but not provided. Monies paid into the Parking Infrastructure Trust Fund shall be placed in a trust account separate from general funds and may be used only for improvements to the city parking infrastructure to increase parking capacity or to enhance use of existing parking capacity. 3. Historic or Contributive Buildings are exempt from all parking requirements. 4. Any changes in use in a building will require a re- calculation in the required parking pursuant to B above. If the new combination of uses requires additional parking spaces, a fee, as determined from time to time by the Parking Committee, must be paid into the Parking Infrastructure Trust Fund. If fewer spaces are required, no refunds will be paid.

The Regulating Plan graphic is a site - specific component of the Land Development Regulations for the Hometown District. For each lot, information is designated such as: the location and dimensions of Build -to Lines; locations where arcades over the sidewalk are required, and representative locations where arcades are permitted but optional; locations for alleys or rear accessways, and curb cuts; locations where outdoor dining is pre - approved; and locations of special areas and Contributive Buildings. 20 -7.14 REGULATING PLAN -- SPECIAL AREAS. Because of the irregular geometry of a few lots caused by the intersection of US with other streets in the Hometown District, and other lot - configuration constraints, certain properties may not be required to meet all of the provisions in the Basic Standards but may be subject to customized regulatory conditions instead, at the discretion of the Director of Building, Zoning and Community Development. The customized regulatory conditions for each of the Special Areas are as follows: A. Special Area #1: Maximum Lot Coverage and minimum Open Yard Space requirements are waived for properties in this area. Building Frontage requirements shall be observed for property lines facing both Red Road and US 1. Design is subject to ERPB approval. B. Special Area #2: Maximum Lot Coverage and minimum Open Yard Space requirements are waived for properties in this area. Buildings shalt have two front sides, meeting storefront design requirements.

Every permissible option is not described herein; other options may be approved by ERPB. Wherever these Architectural Standards may conflict with the City of South Miami Land Development Code, these Architectural Standards shall apply for properties within the Hometown District. The lists of permitted materials and configurations come from study of traditional buildings found in South Florida and have been selected for their appropriateness to the visual environment and climate. 14 A primary goal of the Architectural Standards is authenticity. The Standards encourage construction which is straightforward and functional, and which draws its ornament and variety from the traditional assembly of genuine materials. The Standards generally discourage 'imitation' materials, such as simulated wood, to avoid a tacky image for the neighborhood. 20 -7.16 ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS -- GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: All construction must comply with The South Florida Building Code, the latest edition, as amended and adopted by the Dade County Florida Board of County Commissioners and any and all revisions made subsequent to that date.

Each time a street is constructed or reconstructed, these Standards shall be the basis for the design and engineering. The intent is to create streets which appropriately serve the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. rather than motorists alone. The design requirements for a given street depend on its location and function, as indicated on the map below. These Standards are devised to: 1. Discourage high -speed car traffic and encourage drivers to be alert (through parallel parking, correct travel -lane width, and suitable radii at corners); 2. Establish safe crossings for pedestrians (for example, through suitable turning radii at intersections); 3. Maintain appropriate passage for emergency vehicles and occasional moving vans (through 'clear zones' at corners, to allow smaller curb radii but admit larger vehicles when required); 4. Establish safe sidewalks where pedestrians have minimum conflict with moving cars (by regulating curb cuts and by locating parking and trees between sidewalks and travel lanes); 5. Maintain shade and an agreeable appearance (through orderly spacing of full -size canopy trees); 6. Minimize the heat buildup and to limit impervious area (through minimized asphalt areas and through regular placement of canopy trees); 7. Efficiently provide parking (through parallel spaces onstrect). B. Landscaping & Utilities: All plant materials shall conform to the standards for Florida No. 1 or better as given in "Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants" Part I, 1963 and Part II, State of Florida, Department of Agriculture, Tallahassee, or equal thereto. Grass sod shall be clean and reasonably free of weeds and noxious pests or diseases. Grass areas shall be planted in species normally grown as permanent lawns. Grass areas must be sodded. All new landscaping must incorporate the xeriscape principles provided in Section 20 -7.17. Existing healthy plant material may remain and be incorporated into future strcetscape projects. Tree requirements: Trees within the public right of way shall be spaced evenly 20 to 30 feet apart, except near street intersections where they may be spaced closer together. Trees shall be of the species that will normally grow to a minimum height of twenty (20) feet with a mature crown spread of twenty (20) feet or greater in Dade County and have trunks which can be maintained with over seven (7) feet of clear trunk. Required trees shall have a minimum diameter at breast height of four (4) inches and be not less than twelve (12) feet in overall height at the time of planting. Selected tree species shall be from the list of Native Trees in Section 20- 4.5,(B),(3) of the City of South Miami Land Development Code.
