HISTORY Continued from the Zoning Board of June 20, 1994; Res. No. ZB 55-94 by a vote of 7-0.
ANALYSIS Due to a complaint received in the NET office concerning illegal Bail Bond offices, an
inspection was conducted and several offices of this nature were cited. The appellant office
is among these above mentioned offices. Under Zoning Ord. 9500, which became effective June
27, 1983 to Sept. 4, 1990, the Zoning designation of the site was RG-3 (General Residential).
The RG-3/7 did not allow a Bail Bond office as a permitted or Permissible Use. Under our
present Zoning Ord. 11000, as amended, which became effective September 4, 1990, the site is
zoned R-3 (Multifamily Medium Density Residential), which does not allow a this office as a
permitted or Conditional Use either. Research of our Certificate of Use records indicates no
current Certificate of Use for Bail Bond office. No Certificate of Use was produced by the
applicant and none could be found for a Bail Bond office in the aforementioned address by the
City. Under both Zoning Ord. 9500 and 11000 the Zoning designations of the site would not have
permitted a Bail Bond office, thus there is no basis to conclude that a legal nonconforming use
(Grandfather clause), exists on the site for a Bail Bond office.

NOTICE OF APPEAL
On this day; July 22, 1994, CHARLES J. FLOWERS, hereinafter referred to as "FLOWERS
BAIL BONDS, INC.", files this, his Notice of Appeal to the Board of the City Commissioner,
pursuant to case no. 94-5002, folio: 0131350110040, affecting FLOWERS BAIL BONDS,
INC. right to operate his business at 1600 N.W. North River Drive, Miami, FL 33125.
FLOWERS BAIL BONDS, INC. appeals the decision of the Zoning Board of the City of
Miami, held on July 18, 1994, for the rejection of the right to be Grandfathered so as to remain
at our office at 1600 N.W. North River Drive, Miami, FL 33125, from which I have conducted
business from November 1, 1982 to the present, as a Surety Office (Bail Bonds).
Our office received a Violation Notice, dated 11-18-93, stating that our office is in violation of
the City of Miami Zoning Ordinance. I called Ms. Gilda Rodriquez, the Code Enforcement
Inspector, to ask her why after 13 years of operating in this location, I can no longer retain an
office here. She stated that this building is zoned for residential, and we will need a Certificate
of Use, but if the City will not issue this certificate, then I can make a request under the
Grandfather. Clause.
FRB Corporation received a summon, dated 12-14-93, to appear before the Code Enforcement
Board of the City of Miami on January 26, 1994 at 1:30pm. On that same day a copy of the
summon was brought to our office by a FRB's rental agent. The President of Flowers Bail
Bonds, Inc. and the President of FRB Corporation appeared for that hearing, where a
compromise was worked out between us, the City Attorney and Ms. Gilda Rodriguez, 40
minutes before the Board meeting was called to order; we were allowed until April 26, 1994,
to speak with Mr. Juan Gonzalez, the Acting Chief of Zoning, to see whether or not it was
possible to receive a Certificate of Use under the Grandfather Clause, since we were there
before March 8,1990, when the City adopted ordinance 11000, changing the zoning to R-3.
We, Charles J. Flowers and Shirley D. Flowers, the President and Vice President of Flowers
Bail Bonds, Inc., met with Mr. Gonzalez in his office in February of 1994, and through all his
research, found out that the whole area was commercial, with the exception of our building
and the building next door that were residential. Due to this discovery he said that we will
be unable to receive a Certificate of Use. I presented to him a lease agreement for the building
y
94- 708
dated back to 1982, and I am willing to supply to this Code Enforcement Board, any other proof
that may help our company be Grandfathered-in at this location.
On July 18, 1994, we presented our case before the nine members of the Zoning Board. After
we rest our'case, Acting Chief Juan Gonzalez, presented his case with little distortion of what
had transpired. Code Enforcement Officer, Gilda Rodriquez, made a statement that we were
heard by the Code Enforcement Board and were found guilty of the violation. This was not so,
however, as a compromise was previously worked out as I stated above.
To the Commission, our profession is known as the colonial term, Bail Bondsman, but you will
notice that our state licenses refer to us in the legal term, as a Limited Surety Agent and is
governed by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Florida. Our office has always been
located in the City of Miami and has always possessed a City of Miami occupational license.
When our office was relocated from 1650 N.W. 35th Street, our occupational license was
transferred to 1600 N.W. North River Drive. The Zoning Department has yet to come up with
a copy of any occupational license that I have had in the past.
To this Commission, we would like to retain our office under the Grandfather Clause, which we
think is deserving because of our longevity at this location. Our office is very small and the
only business conducted there is that of my wife to do paper work pertaining to our business.
.It is one of the criterias that we have an office as long as we possess an insurance license from
the State of Florida.
I would like for this appeal to serve as a stay of the Code Enforcement's decision of the daily
fine of $250, until the decision is made by the City Commissioner upon this matter presented
before them, and to quash and dismiss any fine they may have imposed on this case. It has
always been my understanding that when a case is under appeal, it stays all matters until a final
decision has been made.
In our last years before retirement we would like to maintain our office at this location, and to
take this opportunity away from us, is like taking away our livelihood as well as our business.
I pray that this very intelligent and well diversified Board,. in their wisdom, will Grandfather our
company in at this location, 1600 N.W. North River Drive, Miami, FL 33125.
Thanks in advance.

RE: LEGAL NONCONFOR.NIITY USE (GRANDF. iTIfER CLAUSE)
Dear Ms. Fernandez:
This is regarding the request to Mr. Juan Gonzalez to allow Flowers Bail Bonds, Inc. the right
to remain in this office under the Grandfather clause at 1600 N.W. North River Drive, Suite
100, Miami, FI. 33125, since we have occupied this office since 1982.
Mr. Gonzalez states in the second paragraph in a letter dated Mav 4, 1994, received on May 7,
1994, that "There is no basis to conclude that a leagal nonconforming rise (Grandfather
clause) exists on the site for a Bail Bonds office." In contrary to that statement, I will produce
to the Zoning Board, two individuals who also have owned and operated Bail Bonds Office at
that location. Whether Mr. Gonzalez can locate such files, is not the basis for not allowing my
existence at that location. We have put many years at that location and as semi -retirees, _ould
like to remain in that office so that I'Ars. Flowers will have an office close to home, as we have
had for years. There is no business conducted at that location, but it is merely a location to
keep our records as required by the Florida State Statutes 903.
This area is all Zoning for Commercial Use except the two apartments, 1600 and 16?? that are
located next to each other. In the building in question, in which I have had my office, there
have alwz-: s been 7 other business offices there.
I was also told by the Code Enforcement Inspector, Ms. Gilda Rodriguez, that if we have been
in that location before 1990 then we should be granted permission to be Grandfathered In, but
we would need to first speak with Mr. Juan Gonzalez. I later received a 'etter dated May 4,
1994, denying me permission.
I would like for this to serve as an appeal and.would greatly appreciate a response as soon as
possible. Thanks in advance.

RE: GRAIXDFATHER CLAUSE
Dear Mr. Gonzalez:
7PI
This is in reference to your letter dated March 30, 1994, concerning Flowers Bail Bonds, Inc.
and the request for permission of the Grandfather Clause.
As for the first paragraph, your letter states that my letter dated March 18, 1994 requested
information concerning if a Bail Bonds office is or was ever allowed in that particular site under
the Zoning Ordinance 9500 or 11000. However, my letter only requested from your office, a .
letter granting or denying me the right to continue to do business under the Grandfather Clause.
T?,e Fifth paragraph states that no Certificate of Use can be found for my Bail Bonds office and
therefore under the Zoning Ordinances 9500 and 11000, would not have been permitted a Bail
Bonds office and thus no basis for a Grandfather Clause.
I do have in my possession, however, proof of State and County Licenses dating back to March
1. 1982 and I would therefore like to take this upon appeal. Also in your second paragraph, it
states that Zoning Ordinance 9500 was adopted from March 23, 1982 to March 8, 1990.
AP According to the information that I am in possession of, it was adopted from September 23,
1982 to March 8, 1982 as is on page 24 of the Official Zoning Atlas.
If everything is not solved by April 26, 1994 I will be fined on a daily basis, therefore I am
requesting a direct grant or denial of the Grandfather Clause as soon as possible, or an
EIMERGENCY extension providing me ample time to appeal my case if I am denied.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
J. Flowers

Re: 1600 N.W. North River Dr.
Pursuant to your letter of August 28, 1989, concerning the above
mentioned property, please be advised that currently the site is
zoned RG-3/6 (Residential, General).
The aforementioned zoning designation allows multifamily
dwellings as a permitted legal conforming use and any repairs,
reconstruction will be allowed subject to meeting all current
applicable codes and regulations.
If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please
call our Zoning Information Counter at 350-7965.

State and County licenses are issued by other government agencies,
not necessarily in compliance with our city ordinance regulating
zoning since they have other criteria and regulations they observe.
Further research of our past zoning ordinance 9500, indicates that
the ordinance became effective on June 27, 199.3, and adopted on
September 23, 1982, and not March 23, 1982, as erroneously stated
in my March 30, 1994, letter.
However, the date of adoption does not change the fact that, a
Certificate of Use for a Bail Bonds cannot be found for the
referenced site which precludes me from determining that a prior use
existed on which a noncomforming use can be established.

Grandfather Clause Bail Bonds
Dear Mr`. Flowers:
Pursuant to your letter of March 18, 1994, concerning the, above
mentioned property, and if a Bail Bonds office is or was ever allowed
in the particular site, under Zoning Ordinance 9500 or 11000, please be
advised of the following.
Under Zoning Ordinance 9500, which was adopted March 23, 1982 to March
81 1990, the Zoning designation of the site was RG-3 (General
Residential). The RG-3 did not allow a Bail Bonds office as a
permitted or Permissible Use.
Under our present Zoning Ordinance 11000, as amended, which was adopted
March 81 1990, the site is zoned R-3 (Multifamily Medium Density
Residential), which does not allow a Bail Bonds office as a permitted
or Conditional Use.
Furthermore, research of our Certificate of Use records indicates no
current Certificate of Use for a Bail Bonds office.
In conclusion, since no Certificate of Use can be found for a Bail
Bonds office in the aforementioned address, and under both Zoning
Ordinances 9500 and 11000 the Zoning designations of the site would not
have permitted a Baii Bonds office, there is no basis to conclude that
a legal nonconforming use (Grandfather clause), exists on the site for
a Bail Bonds office.
