'rba i CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO The Hl orable Mayor and DATE , February 29, 1996 ME: Mem s of the City Commission 5�e� suEusct : Agenda Item 72 FROM Cesar H. Odio REFERENCES : City Cununi.ssion Agenda City Manager February 29, 1996 ENCLOSURES, This memorandum is in response to some concerns from tt,e City Commission pertaining to the Commercial Code Compliance Program item presented at the January 25, 1996 meeting. The City Commission's concerns were that the City should not assist any business(es) through the Commercial Code rompliance Program that corrects a violation, but continues to have a history of other violations. The athor concern was that the City should make sure that the funding being provided will bring the business into code compliance. In the case vt the Salgado Corporatinn, Inc. , 2323 N.W. 17 Avenue, (a new business in the area) and, according to the Allapattah NET Off Ice, this business does not have a history of previous violations, and therefore after Lhe correction of Lhe violations, the City will assist the business to meet the Code. In the case of the Produce Connection, Inc., 2260 N.W. 13 Avenue, violations had innurred from a previous owner. The Produce Connection wanted to expand their property and in order to ubLai.n a Certificate of Use (C.U.) they needed to correct their violations. According to the Allapattah NET Office, this funding will. correct the violations and bring the business into code compliance. I will instruct all the NET Administrators to comply with the City Commi-qsionls concerns and further advise them not to approve any business(es) unless it is in full conformance with the commercial Code Compliance Program. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. 96- .193 3
