individuals and donating free classes to the community. Sensei Carol White, an
esteemed mentor, has shown unwavering dedication to her students, instilling in
them the values of respect, discipline, and selflessness, thereby shaping them into
responsible and well-rounded members of our community. White Tiger & Dragon
Martial Arts have become a pillar of our community by providing a welcoming
environment to over 20,000 students and three generations of families. Elected
Officials paused in their deliberations to pay tribute and recognize Sensei Carol

2) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners saluted the City of Miami students who
participated in the Summer Jobs Connect Miami Program. The Summer Jobs
Connect Miami Program is a program that provides a path to economic self-
sufficiency to Miami 's young residents. In 2014, the City of Miami was awarded a
three-year investment grant by the Cities of Financial Empowerment Fund to create
and sustain a summer youth employment & financial empowerment program. The
program focuses have been on hiring 16-19 years old disadvantaged youth and
engaging them in financial empowerment & education. The program prepares
Miami 's youth to make a difference in their communities, build their competitive
edge, boost career -readiness opportunities, gain real work experience, and learn
essential job skills. In addition, they learn from an integrated financial literacy
curriculum teaching them about personal financial matters, how to make
knowledgeable financial decisions, and savings strategies. The Cities for Financial
Empowerment Fund and Citi Foundation provided the initial grant funding to launch
the Summer Jobs Connect Miami program with the goal of improving individual and
family financial stability and empowerment. Elected Officials paused in their
deliberations to pay tribute and recognize all the participants for their dedication
and commitment to the City of Miami.

Kevin Cruz: Good morning. Kevin Cruz, Greenspoon Martyr.
Commissioner Reyes: Elvis.
Chair King: Good morning.
Mr. K. Cruz: Offices located at 600 Brickell Avenue, Miami, Florida, 33131. I'm
here on behalf of item PZ.1. Our client flew in all the way from L.A. (Los Angeles),
their whole management and ownership team. We were told this hearing would be --
excuse me, that item would be heard today. So, we're not really sure why it 's being
pulled to July 13th.
Chair King: Mr. Manager.
City of Miami Page 6 Printed on 08/10/2023

Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Victoria Mendez (City Attorney): Is this 801 Brickell Bay?
Mr. K. Cruz: Yeah, the foreign ambassadors.
Arthur Noriega (City Manager): PZ.1 ?
Mr. K Cruz: Yeah, yeah.
Mr. Noriega: I don 't -- it was requested by you, Madam Chair.
Chair King: I received a request from one of my colleagues to have it deferred.
Mr. Noriega: Oh, you did? Yeah, I don 't -- I have no idea why it was deferred.
Chair King: Who 's not here. So, it's as a professional courtesy that we are -- I'm
deferring it.
Mr. K Cruz: Is there any way it can be heard today? We have everyone from L.A.
here.
Chair King: No.
Mr. K Cruz: All right, thank you.
Chair King: Thank you. Good morning.
Elvis Cruz: Good morning, Commissioner. I'm just waiting for the image to come up
on the screen. Here we go. Good morning, Commissioners, Elvis Cruz, and I 'm here
to speak on no net loss of parkland, Item FR.1. So, too many passages from the City
Code, Miami 21, and the Comprehensive Plan are vaguely or misleadingly worded.
For example, here's a paragraph that is in the proposed language on the item and the
first half of it says, replacement parkland must meet the same or higher standard as
the parkland it is replacing with similar park recreation or conservation value in
terms of usefulness and location. So, that sounds wonderful, that's terrific, but now
let's look at the second half. Comma, as recommended by the director of the Parks
and Recreation Department in consultant with the Planning director and approved by
the City Commission at a public hearing. So, rather than use a recommendation from
the Parks or Planning directors who are at -will employees subject to political
pressure, there should be a set of objective criteria that is designed to protect and
maximize the public interest. I urge you to rewrite this proposed legislation to better
protect the public interest. For example, a large parcel being converted should be
replaced with a similarly sized large parcel. Pre-existing public land should not be
allowed to count for no net loss parkland. Examples, swales along a highway or
causeway, the Underline, or bay walks or riverwalks should not be allowed to serve
as replacements for no net loss parkland. We need more real parkland, not less.
Thank you. And Mr. City Manager, please note, I am wearing a tie. Thank you.
Chair King: Thank you, Elvis.
Ms. Mendez: Elvis --
Mr. Noriega: Elvis, always appreciated. Always appreciated.
Mr. E. Cruz: Thank you.
Ms. Mendez: Elvis, this item was reset, so we didn't catch that, but could you send me
that presentation?
City of Miami Page 7 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission
Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Mr. E. Cruz: I will be very happy to. And the reason I wanted to speak, even though
it was deferred is because very seldomly does the public get involved or is allowed to
get involved in the writing of proposed language for ordinances. On top of that,
proposed language almost never has the author listed because this is someone I would
like to sit with and say, hey, what is your intent in doing A, B, and C? This is not in
the public 's best interest, which is what should always be our primary goal. So, I'll
send it.
Ms. Mendez: Okay, thank you.
Chair King: Good morning.
Andy Parrish: Good morning. Andy Parrish, live at 3940 Main Highway. And I'd
like to speak to PZ.21, which is sponsored by Commissioner Reyes. So, I'll wait until
-- Good morning, Commissioner. I see you're sponsoring PZ.21, which is regarding
enhancing the T5 to allow an additional three stories in T5 zones. And I know the
pressure you're under with the T6, all the people in the town wanting to go from T5 to
T6, which is very controversial. But I'm just urging this Commissioner, especially
Commissioners Covo and Reyes, to really make sure this goes slow because adding
three stories where only five are now allowed directly affects NCD-2 and NCD-1,
which is Coral Gate. Because I know one property that would be affected by this
ordinance is the Sears property, which is going to be controversial no matter what,
and also Grand Avenue and Douglas Road. And I think until those communities have
special meetings with you commissioners to go over this proposal, to add three stories
onto the five that are now currently allowed, I think you're going to hear from a lot of
residents that they're very worried that that's going to increase gentrification, even
though I know there are reasons for it that you're trying to enhance public benefits for
the community. But it 's going to be very controversial.
Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair, if I could clam something. It is not automatic.
It has to come to Commission.
Mr. Parrish: I'm sorry?
Commissioner Reyes: It is not automatic that it is -- those three floors are going to be
added. It has to come to Commission and have to have public input on it.
Mr. Parrish: No, I read it very thoroughly and it also came before the Planning and
Zoning Board.
Commissioner Reyes: That's right.
Mr. Parrish: And the same issues were raised. I know it has to come back and
there's restrictions on whether it's near the --
Commissioner Reyes: That's right.
Mr. Parrish: There are a lot of restrictions on it. However --
Commissioner Reyes: And also, I want to clam this and I have said it and I stated to
all the body -- everybody in Coral Gate, don't worry about the Sears -- I mean, the
development where the Sears store was, because I am -- everybody knows that I am
very concerned of the effect that development has on single-family homes and
neighborhoods. I've been trying to protect it since day one that I was elected.
City of Miami Page 8 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission
Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Mr. Parrish: No, Commissioner, you have a track record of protecting
neighborhoods, that 's unquestioned.
Commissioner Reyes: Sure.
Mr. Parrish: All I'm saying is that this should go slow until you actually --
Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely, absolutely.
Mr. Parrish: -- meet with the communities. They're going to want to know why there
are going to be another three stories possible, especially on Grand Avenue and
Douglas Road and Coral Gate, that part of Coral Way. But the rest of Coral Way has
also constantly fought T6 next to T3 all up and down Coral Way. And they're going
to see this as the first step towards then allowing enhanced T5 on the rest of Coral
Way and on the rest of Grand Avenue. So, I'm just saying, if you go slow and really
meet with those communities, they'll appreciate it.
Commissioner Reyes: Point well taken.
Mr. Parrish: Thank you very much, sir.
Commissioner Reyes: And I'm going to make sure --
Mr. Parrish: And thank you, Commissioner.
Commissioner Reyes: -- that we go slow, sir.
Chair King: Good morning.
Luis Herrera: Good morning. My name is Luis Herrera, president of the Vizcaya
Homeowners Association. I come down -- with all my respect to everybody, I come
down here to protect the neighborhood and this agenda they already -- PZ.10. They
try to open --
Chair King: Sir, sir.
Mr. Herrera: -- Planning and Zoning --
Chair King: PZ.10 has been deferred.
Mr. Herrera: Yeah, but --
Chair King: It's not on the agenda today.
Mr. Herrera: Well, I asking if I can talk about this too. If not, no problem. I come
July 27th. But I got something else.
Chair King: Okay.
Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair, I was wondering why PZ.10 -- that's in my
district. Why was it deferred? Who asked for it?
Chair King: One of your colleagues who is not here asked.
Commissioner Reyes: Well, he should have been here because I --
Chair King: As a courtesy --
City of Miami Page 9 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission
Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Commissioner Reyes: As a courtesy, he should have been here. If he has any
problems with it, he should be here. Because, I mean, I have a little suspicion. I
know that some people, they like to get their noses in everybody's business, but they
don 't like anybody to get in their -- in their district. Listen, I agree that we should do
it. We should be here, because if there is any ulterior motive, then I want to know
about it. And I would like to reconsider it later on, okay?
Chair King: Typically --
Commissioner Reyes: Because this gentleman, they came to talk about it.
Chair King: Right.
Commissioner Reyes: And they should be heard.
Chair King: Right. Typically, as a courtesy, if any of you are not here and you ask
me to defer something, I do it.
Commissioner Reyes: No, but that's when it is in our district.
Chair King: Okay.
Commissioner Reyes: Yes, sir.
Mr. Herrera: Okay, the point I bring it over is when Miami 21 made it, they made it
by protecting the neighborhood. Alright? Right now, including PZ.10, the PZ.19 that
I'm talking to, I don't have nothing against anybody and I respect everybody.
Alright? PZ.21, they will be asking to be -- let me see, right here, allowed to the
public benefit increase the height in T5. T5, they made it by Miami 21 to protect the
neighborhood, okay? T3, T4, T5, and T6. Now in Coral Way, the one you talk -- that
I want to talk to before, they changed the zoning in the back on the 24th. I need some
more time to, you know, explain it, what I had to be said. They change it, and they no
asking nobody, change it for T4, and the zone houses. It's not my zone -- area, but my
area, as soon as this is affected, domino, they're going to come down to my
neighborhood. The same problem that I have right now, to the station, Vizcaya
Station, that they want to build some buildings in there, alright, in a residential area.
They're destroying the residential area, and they not supposed to be allowed to
change and give you a benefit to increase the height in T5. T5 is T5.
Chair King: Right.
Mr. Herrera: Alright?
Chair King: Okay.
Mr. Herrera: And that 's why I come down to protect all this, including the mayor.
They tried to do the same way. I'm protecting for a long time, all right, to protect the
neighborhood. And that 's nothing happened right now. Right now, they open all this
to destroy the neighborhood when it is supposed to be protecting the neighborhood.
That's what happened with 11000 for the -- supposed to be -- they destroyed 11000,
and they put Miami 21. And then they do it the same way right now. They're
destroying Miami 21 and no protection in the neighborhood. Who 's working for our
neighborhood? The developer or you people that we decide to vote for you to
represent us. I think --
Chair King: Thank you.
City of Miami Page 10 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission
Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Mr. Herrera: -- I think -- this is the last thing I'm going to say.
Chair King: Okay.
Mr. Herrera: I think if I vote for every one of you in my neighborhood or whatever,
it's to you people represent us to defend our neighborhood, not to allow to this
contractor coming down and high -rising next to the houses. Thank you very much.
Chair King: Thank you. Good morning.
Carlos Paucar: Good morning. This is regarding File ID 14046, the changing of
zoning of the lots on 3030 Coral Way, southern portion. The neighbors -- we're okay
with the zoning change so long as no traffic goes onto Southwest 22nd Terrace, which
is a residential area. Melissa, the attorney for the project, has been nice enough to
inform some of us and give us a presentation on the project. However, we just want to
make sure that no traffic goes onto 22nd Terrace. She's let us know that 31st Avenue
is a possibility for entry and exit, but again, 31st Avenue is very narrow, and she said
-- she did mention and said that they would stretch or give some of their land to --
towards 31 st Avenue to make that possible. Just be considering -- considerate of the
traffic --
Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair.
Mr. Paucar: -- on 31 st Avenue for the restaurants and deliveries and now the offices.
Commissioner Reyes: May I --
Mr. Paucar: I understand the Coral Way access point --
Commissioner Reyes: -- just clarift this?
Mr. Paucar: -- is complicated because there's a walkway and a bus stop. So, I just
want to make sure that all those things are considered and please no traffic on 22nd
Terrace.
Commissioner Reyes: And sir, let me clam this. What I'm demanding -- and
Madam Chair, I want to reconsider that deferral. I want to bring it back and I want
to hear it, and I want to vote on it today, okay? We have -- I have been demanding
that entrance should be on Coral Way, and every time that there is a development in
any of my district, I always demand entry and exit in the main thoroughfare to avoid
traffic into the neighborhood. In this case, I have a commitment from the developer
that they are going to work with DOT (Department of Transportation) so the entrance
is -- that entrance into that lot has been there since 2000 or before that. And since
there is a bus lane now, and I don't think that that will preclude the -- that
development to have the entrance on Coral Way. And we are working on it, and
that 's the condition of voting for it, and that 's why I would like to reconsider this
deferral, and we vote on it today. And do I have to make a motion later on?
Chair King: Todd, what would be the pro --? Let me just say that I don 't think much
harm will come if we hold off to the next commission meeting. And if you had asked
me -- irrespect -- because you do have strong feelings for items that are not in your
district, and you would want to make --
Commissioner Reyes: Yes, ma'am.
City of Miami Page 11 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission
Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Chair King: -- comments, put comments, so iffor some reason you couldn 't be here, I
would respect your request and ask --
Commissioner Reyes: Okay, okay, ma'am.
Chair King: -- for the deferral. So, as a professional courtesy, I have started that for
everyone, and I -- you know, I don 't want to just not do it.
Commissioner Reyes: I'm going to respect that, ma 'am, but 1-- if I would ask for any
deferral, I would have a reason behind it. It wouldn 't be out of the blue sky because I
don't -- I'm not there and because I just want to bother the commissioner or
whatever, you see. I think that we should set precedence that there is a reason always
behind every decision that we make here, of every request we make. I haven't heard
any reason. Because I can say, okay, I do not agree with office -- but there is not a
change in anything. It's not going above what it is. I mean, there's only five stories.
It's going to be a reduction in traffic, because instead of a school, it 's going to be
office buildings. The entrance and the exits, they are not going to go into the
neighborhood. I just want to know the reason why this gentleman wants this to be
heard in another day.
Mr. Paucar: Sorry, can I just add, iffor whatever reason the entrance for this project
ends up being on 31st Avenue, and Melissa agreed with this, she said that they would
try to do only a right exit onto Coral Way.
Commissioner Reyes: (INAUDIBLE).
Mr. Paucar: Yeah.
Commissioner Reyes: You just exit, and you have to go.
Mr. Paucar: Correct.
Commissioner Reyes: I am very (INAUDIBLE) all the time.
Mr. Paucar: Thank you.
Commissioner Reyes: (INAUDIBLE).
Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Sorry, Chair. Sir, could I have your name for the
record?
Mr. Paucar: Sorry?
Mr. Hannon: If I could have your name for the record.
Mr. Paucar: Sure. Carlos Paucar, 2962 Southwest 22nd Terrace.
Mr. Hannon: Thank you, sir.
Commissioner Covo: Madam Chair, can I also say something regarding that item? I
think that if it's something that is going to be delayed, we should also consider
listening to it today. I'm with Commissioner Reyes on that one. And I wanted to put
on the record that I'm also concerned regarding the other item that was deferred.
And I understand out of courtesy, PZ.1, but that's in my district and I understand that
all the people came from out of town to --
Chair King: Again --
City of Miami Page 12 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission
Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Commissioner Covo: And this is like the third time.
Chair King: -- I understand your concern and I understand Commissioner Reyes '
concern. However, there are times when, for example, Commissioner Reyes feels very
strongly about something, although it's not in his district, and he would want to make
comments on the record. Commissioner Carollo would be the same. So ,I'm not
looking at it just as it's a district matter because this involves the entire city of Miami.
So, if my colleagues ask me, because they are not able to attend the meeting, to defer
an item, I'm doing it as a professional courtesy. It 's not being deferred for six months
down the road. I understand that it's an inconvenience to the applicant, but as a
professional courtesy -- and I will do it for each and every one of you, and I have. So
Commissioner Reyes: Madam, that is fine. That 's fine. I have questions, and also,
there are other items that when it comes -- PZ items -- that I would like to defer also,
you see, that I have questions of the Administration.
Chair King: Okay.
Commissioner Reyes: And can I --? I have to include it now or include it later?
Chair King: No, let's finish public comment.
Commissioner Reyes: Let's finish public -- okay.
Chair King: Okay. Are you next? Good morning, Melissa.
Melissa Tapanes Llahues: Good morning. On behalf of the applicant of PZ.10, just
to speak on the deferral, we would respectfully request moving forward today at first
reading. We 've made a commitment to the Commissioner to work on certain issues
with DOT that will take at least a month, and we would like to have that discussed
here today by this Commission so that we can move forward with those details. The
issue of delay is that we are trying to move this item forward before the August recess,
so we would, again, respec fully request just to have this item on this agenda for
hearing. If in fact the Commission would like to defer it after our presentation, that
will be the Commission's will, but at least it would give us an opportunity to have the
discussion dealing with the commitment that we've made to both the neighbors who
are here today, as well as Commissioner Reyes that deals with interfacing with DOT,
and we all know the amount of time and effort that will take. So, that is the reason
why we would again -- of course, we understand the professional courtesy. What we
are asking is also for a professional courtesy of allow at least our item to be heard. If
at that time it must be deferred for the reasons that you mentioned, we definitely will
respect that decision. We're just asking for the sunshine. The neighbors are here,
we've been working with them, and we just think it will be a worthwhile effort for this
commission to hear this item. Thank you.
Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Oh, go ahead.
Alexa Ledezma: Good morning, esteemed commissioners. My name is Alexa
Ledezma, and I represent the Downtown Neighborhood Alliance. I'm the vice
president, and I'm going to give this to the City Clerk for the record. And as a
community organization, we're dedicated of advocating for the residents of downtown
and I wanted to put on the record some concerns that we have. We had two issues but
one of them was deferred so I'll only talk about the one that's on the record for today
-- on the agenda. That is the RE.5, accepting a grant from the Miami Downtown
Authority to establish a special detail of off -duty police officers to the downtown
City of Miami Page 13 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission
Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Miami. First, we want to thank Commissioner Manolo Reyes for sponsoring the item
and for your leadership as a chair of the director of the Downtown Authority when it
comes to bringing public safety resources to our area. The downtown continues to
grow and with the expected renewal that will follow when the Flagler Street project is
concluded, it is important to provide the City resources to handle these new activities.
Miami is a world -class city and should be a world -class downtown. While any
additional safety resources to the downtown area is valuable, there is several issues
that the DNA (Downtown Neighborhood Alliance) wants to consider with this item.
First, we would like the City to provide an accounting of the way the City of Miami
Police will be using the $650,000 grant. The current program suggests that we cover
four off -duty officers for one shift per week. At that cost, it's over $160, 000. I would
like -- that exceeds the police officer's salary.
Chair King: Ma 'am?
Ms. Ledezma: Yes.
Chair King: Your two minutes are up.
Ms. Ledezma: So, please, if you would read the letter that we submitted, if you could
take that under consideration, we would appreciate it.
Chair King: Thank you.
Ms. Ledezma: Thank you.
Chair King: Good morning.
Nicholas Jordan: Hello, my name is Nicholas Jordan. I'm a resident at 2950
Southwest 22nd Terrace, and I just wanted to provide, I guess, a comment regarding
the File ID 14046, which is the 3030 Coral Way rezoning of the south end of that lot.
Hearing your comments, Commissioner Reyes, definitely clarified some of my
understanding about the issue. I just wanted to add my name as someone who was
concerned as well about the access to the residential area on 22nd Terrace.
Previously, when that lot became the Brito School, I participated in quite a few
hearings, and we were able to work with them to make sure that the neighborhood
was satisfied with how that property was developed at that point. As we move into, I
understand, a new, I guess, transitional state with that property into a new direction, I
just want to make sure that, again, the traffic patterns are respected for the safety of
the residents in that neighborhood and also just to keep the flow from getting
overwhelming, particularly 22nd Terrace, but also, as the previous person spoke
about, the 31st where it spills it onto the exit on the right turn, which I believe you
called it a pork chop or something. So, once again, I just wanted to add my name to
that list of the neighborhood people who are concerned and just want to make sure
that we'll be following this as it develops to make sure that the traffic is not
overwhelmed by this new development. Thank you.
Chair King: Thank you. Good morning.
Yoni Bornstein: Hello. Good morning. My name is Yoni Bornstein, president of the
Wynwood Community Enhancement Association. Thank you, Chairwoman King and
fellow Commissioners and City Administration for your continued support of
Wynwood Norte and working with the association to improve the neighborhood.
We've really come a long way. I'm here today on Items PZ.17 and 18, which are the
land use change and rezoning for 136 Northwest 35th Street in Wynwood Norte.
There were some questions and concerns expressed last month when the Association
first received these applications, mainly about compatibility and height issues. We
City of Miami Page 14 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission
Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
appreciate that the applicant working with -- the applicant worked with the
Association over the past several weeks and coming to the table with a covenant that
addresses the primary concerns. So, thank you very much for that and also for their
commitment to supporting improvements to Roberto Clemente Park, which as we all
know is an extremely important park for the neighborhood. With this covenant being
proffered, the Association is in full support of these items. Thank you very much.
Chair King: Thank you. Good morning.
Bruce Matheson: Good morning. Bruce Matheson, 2679 Tigertail. Amended Code
Chapter 62, no net loss, File ID 13919. Replacement parkland must meet the same or
higher standard as the parkland it is replacing with similar parkland recreation or
conservation value in terms of usefulness and location. Replacement properties for
parkland must be replaced with land of minimum of 20,000 square foot or 200 linear
foot of street frontage; 200 foot of street frontage by 50 foot deep would equal 10,000
square feet. A 20-acre park could be replaced with 43 20,000 square foot parks.
Bayfront Park, Ferre Park, Morningside Park, any city park over 20,000 square feet,
keep it for all future generations. You will never, ever be able to replace it. Thank
you.
Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. How are you?
David Winker: Good morning, Commissioner, David Winker, 2222 Southwest 17th
Street. I'm also speaking on FR.1, no net loss of parks. I want to urge the City to
rewrite FR.1 and implement the no net policy, no net loss policy, to preserve our
parkland in a manner consistent with the Miami Parks 2007 Master Plan. I'd like to
quote from pages 66 to 69 of that master plan. Miami needs to make the most of the
parks it has. Miami's park system is not large and acquisition of new parkland is
challenging. Preserving Miami's existing park and recreation resources means
making sure that parkland is not used for other uses. It goes on to ask the following
question and answer this question. What kinds of limits and criteria should be
established for conversion of park and public open space land for other uses? The
answer in the report is -- in the master plan is Miami's limited amount of existing
parkland combined with the limited availability and high cost of land for new parks
means that preserving existing parkland and adopting a no net policy is essential.
The process for any conversion of parkland should include the following
requirements: A requirement for an alternative analysis. The entity that wishes to
take the parkland for another use must perform an alternative analysis, including a
no -build alternative. The City Commission must find that there is no feasible
alternative to using the parkland on the basis of criteria other than cost alone. A
requirement for a public hearing. The Planning Advisory Board and the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board must each hold a public hearing on the proposed
conversion of parkland at a time and place convenient for public comment. Each
board must make a written recommendation to the City Commission. The last item it
recommends is a requirement for a supermajority vote of the City Commission. The
City Commission must approve the conversion of land by a supermajority vote.
Please consider rewriting the policy in light of our 2007 master plan. Thank you so
much.
Chair King: Thank you.
Ms. Mendez: Mr. Winker, could you send me those comments?
Mr. Winker: Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Mendez: Okay, thank you so much.

Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Chair King: Good morning.
Daniel Acevedo: Good morning. My name is Daniel Acevedo. I represent We Are
Wynwood Foundation. I'm the president. It 's for PZ.17 and PZ.18. Basically, when
I went through the agenda and also the covenant, what I'm noticing is that our
community, Wynwood, Roberto Clemente, has not gotten any improvements. At the
end of the day, this does not benefit our community in any which way. It doesn 't give
back to our community. It's not giving back to our kids. It's not giving back to our
elderlies. It's not giving back to our neighborhood. I hear and I see people speak
about the improvements of Wynwood. We're not seeing it. On the other side, yes.
We've seen the buildings rise. We've seen the homes be diminished -- demolished.
But at the end of the day, we're not benefiting from any of it. We've seen inflation
and displacement. The rent is going high and et cetera. I ask that the community will
at least be given the opportunity to have a meeting with the applicants and at the
same time we can come to coexist somehow, some way by speaking and
understanding what is the agenda and what is the covenant. Thank you. God bless.
Chair King: Thank you. Good morning.
Rafael Antonio Gomez: Hello, how you doing? Good afternoon, good morning,
whatever. What 's the agenda item that I must speak on? Or I could speak freely? I
could speak freely, or I have to speak on a specific agenda item?
Chair King: You should speak on an agenda item.
Mr. Gomez: Okay, alright. Well, I don't know which agenda item, so I'm going to
speak about the one they were talking about in Coral Way. I just want to -- look, first
I want to say I think it 's extremely disrespectful that Joe "Crooked" Carollo didn't
show up to this meeting and Dirty" Diaz de la Portilla didn't show up. I think that 's
extremely disrespec ful, okay? I just want to make sure that none of the money for
that agenda item goes to pay for this guy's lawsuit, $63 million. Make sure it doesn't
go to help this lady, "Tricky Vicky," and her husband. Make sure that money for this
agenda item doesn't go to Francis "Postalito" to pay for his presidential campaign.
That's what I want to make sure, that none of the money for this agenda item goes to
the corruption in this city. That's what I want to say. Crooked Mafia Miami.
Chair King: Thank you.
Nicole Ewan (Assistant City Clerk): Sir, can you have your name for the record,
please?
Mr. Gomez: Rafael Antonio Gomez Osorio.
Chair King: Good morning. Go ahead.
Julie Williamson: My name is Julie Williamson. I'm here on behalf of Father Jose
Luis Menendez and the parish of Corpus Christi. We are members of the Wynwood
Community Advancement Association. And I'm here in support of PZ.17 and 18. We
know there's a lot of work still to be done in the area, but we very much appreciate
the cooperation and the work that has been done recently in regard to this ordinance,
and we therefore support it.
Chair King: Thank you. Sir, I believe you've already had your public comment.
Mr. K. Cruz: IfI could just add a couple of points.

hearing for a property address at 8275 Northeast Miami Court. The respondent is
Jade 3703, Inc. The case in question was issued for operating without a certificate of
use and BTR (Business Tax Receipt). It is a 2015 case. The property in question is a
two-story, six-unit residential structure. The case was opened originally on January
7, 2015, and it was adjudicated before the Code Enforcement Board on April 8th,
2015. The violations ran for 2,730 days. However, and heres where were going to
do a tag team, Im going to ask --
Chair King: Director, whose district is this?
Mr. Santos Alborna: This is, I believe, is your district, maam. Okay. So, however,
the respondent provided support documentation that they had obtained the certificate
of use and BTR much earlier in the process, specifically on July 26, 2017. They just
failed to provide that information to our inspector. I am going to yield to Division
Chief Dooley that can elaborate on the compliance date.
Chair King: Good morning.
Rachel Dooley (Assistant City Attorney, Supervisor): Good morning, members of the
Commission. Rachel Dooley from the Office of the City Attorney. And I think counsel
will do that as well. Hes here, but yes, they did provide us the documentation.
Although the case wasnt officially complied by code until September 29th of 2022,
City of Miami Page 25 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
the owner did achieve and obtain its certificate of use and BTR as of July 26, 2017,
and in the lawsuit that they filed, they did attach that and it was confirmed. So,the
total amount of the lien from 2015 to 2022 was $682,500 at $250 per day. However,
the total amount of the lien from April 8, 2015 to July 26, 2017 is obviously much less
and that is $209,750.
Chair King: Thank you. Sir.
Ms. Dooley: And I believe hes ready to make the statement.
Sebastian Jaramillo: Good morning, Madam Chair. Sebastian Jaramillo, Perlman,
Bajandas, Yevolia, and Albright. Im the attorney for Jade 3703. Thank you to the
City Attorneys Office for that presentation. I just want to add a couple of additional
factors. The property has no violations, has never had any violations. This stemmed
from a property manager that the company had back in 2015, and they actually did
submit an application for a certificate of use, but never went through with the
payment, so thats what triggered it. This property was received by my client as part
of a divorce settlement, so she was relying entirely on her property managers for this
effort. So, in light of that, thats why were here requesting a mitigation, and we
would like to propose to the commissioners a 10 percent payment of the lesser amount
of $209,750, which would be $20,975.
Chair King: Thank you. I believe its fair to do the mitigation from 2017 when
everything was brought into compliance, but I am asking for 20 percent of the fee.
That would be my recommendation. Do I have a motion?
Commissioner Reyes: Move it.
Chair King: Second? All in favor?
The Commission (Collectively): Aye.
Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): As amended.
Chair King: As amended. Thank you.
Victoria Méndez (City Attorney): So, just to clarify, 20 percent of the 2017 amount.
Chair King: 2017 amount, yes.
Ms. Méndez: Okay.
Mr. Santos Alborna: And that amount would be $41,950.
Chair King: Thank you.
Ms. Méndez: As the amount, not 20 percent of that. That would be the total amount.
Mr. Santos Alborna: That is --
Ms. Méndez: Thats the mitigated amount.
Mr. Santos Alborna: Correct.
Ms. Méndez: Thank you.
Chair King: Thank you.

Chair King: Right.

Mr. Hannon: So, they were reconsidered. The deferral is reconsidered, so PZ.1 and
10 are in play.
Commissioner Reyes: Okay.
Chair King: I would say you may want to rethink that because going this way, theres
only three people here to vote. And I made it clear that I was doing it as a
professional courtesy to your colleagues. So, if youre going to put me in that
situation to vote against it, because I asked for professional courtesy, we can do that.
If thats what you want. So, applicants, if thats what you want, because Im trying to
be fair to my colleagues who are not here. And I would --
Commissioner Reyes: This is only first reading. You have to say that.
Chair King: I understand that its frustrating. Its frustrating for me too because
theyre not herefor a frivolous reason. And if it was that, I
wouldnt take this position. But I asked as a professional courtesy.
Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair, with all due respect, I mean, this is -- there is
no rhyme or reason for anybody -- I mean, to be -- to want to defer these two items.
Because these two items, they are harmless.
Chair King: Right, but, Commissioner Reyes --
Commissioner Reyes: I mean, if it is something that is for a show of force, or that I
have influence, that I can bother you, I can get on your bad side, or that they can, I
mean, it is a game that we shouldnt be playing here.

ordinance regarding stairs and ramps in the first layer. We have several projects in
City of Miami Page 54 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
line that have been waiting for this ordinance. City of Miami has FEMA (Federal
Emergency Management Agency)regulations with regards to how were allowed to
address the frontage of sites. And this is something that actually a couple of my
projects have been waiting for for a long time, because right now stairs and ramps
are precluded from being designed in this first layer. This is a second reading item.
It already passed at first reading. And we would ask for the boards indulgence,
because this benefits all districts across the city of Miami, especially those that have
site elevation changes and are subject to FEMA regulations.
Commissioner Reyes: But let me ask you, nobody has come and talked to -- I mean, I
havent met with anybody, and they have not thoroughly explained what does that
mean, what type of frontal structures we are talking about, so I would like to get more
information on it, thats why I moved it. I moved to --
Ms. Escarra: Its stairs and handicapped ramps.
Commissioner Reyes: Oh, okay, but I need more information on it. It was seconded
by you?
Chair King: I have a motion and a second.
Commissioner Covo: Ill second it for more information, but I need to please make
sure that we defer PZ.21.
Commissioner Reyes: I beg your pardon?
Chair King: Wait, wait. Okay, for PZ.9, do I have a motion and a second to defer it?
Commissioner Reyes: Move it, defer.
Commissioner Covo: I second.

City Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Vice Chair Carollo: So, I want to make sure that by this motion to approve, if it ends
up 2-
Commissioner Reyes: Sir, I -- first of all, I want a disclosure. I have a Jennings
disclosure for PZ.10. Secondly, PZ.10, it comes with a covenant that it has to work
with -- it is a good project, and Im going to tell you why. These people, they are not
asking for upzoning. Theyre not asking for additional floors. There is --
Vice Chair Carollo: Commissioner, I --
Commissioner Reyes: Wait a minute, sir, it is. But now, one of the conditions that I
placed is that they have to work with DOT (Department of Transportation) on the
entrance into the project, and that requires time. And thats why I would rather vote
for it now. And it is first reading, and if you dont agree on the second reading, you
can vote against it. But at least we allow them to go and start working, and you know
the time that it takes for DOT to, I mean, give you an opinion and all of that.
Vice Chair Carollo: I dont know about that anymore. I know of a guy here in Miami
that can get opinions and all kinds of stuff from DOT like this.
Commissioner Reyes: Well, you refer to everybody here because I mean --
Vice Chair Carollo: But look, Im going to come back at some time in the near future
to propose to this body some guidelines on the deferments when we want to defer
outside of our district. I think each of us know our districts better than anyone else
sitting here. However, we also are all commissioners of the whole city, not just one
district. So, I want to bring back some guidelines so we dont run into this dilemma
again on how to deal with situations like this so that we know what the rules are and
everybody moves forward knowing what they are. I think that commissioners from --
when they have items in their districts, should be listened to a lot more than if youre
not a commissioner from the district. For the most part, unless there are major items
that have a more of an effect citywide, thats going to be my take into the future, that
we should go along with the commissioner of the district y
stern and firm reasons why not. But this is my opinion, Commissioner. I respect you.
And I understand what you said. I dont disagree. But if its been asked that we defer
this to one more meeting, Im going to go along with this, just that one deferment, and
Ill be ready to vote when he comes back.
Commissioner Reyes: I , sir, because were talking about courtesy.
Courtesy means that you have to be courteous, and you have to take into
consideration everybody. If I had intention of deferring any project because I have
questions about that project that is yours, and I am in Chattahoochee, whatever place
I am, and Im not going to be here because I think some of us belong in
Chattahoochee, if I am and I want to defer it, courtesy would be to let you know and
ask you, and say, listen, I have questions about it, and I am going to ask for a
deferral. That is courtesy. But not to call the day before or tell somebody and say I
want to defer this and that without any rhyme or reason. That is not courtesy, sir.
With all due respect, and I -- we have a mover -- I mean, I move it, and I have a
second, and I want to vote on it.
Vice Chair Carollo: Commissioner --
Commissioner Reyes: Whatever -- and Im responsible for whatever happens.
Vice Chair Carollo: Well, no, I think were all responsible, and what Id like is to ask
the City Attorney a question. If this vote fails because its 2-2 and 2-2 fails, how long
of a period of time do they have to wait before they can come back?
City of Miami Page 59 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Victoria Méndez (City Attorney): Right, so normally if there is failure, its 18 months,
I believe.
Vice Chair Carollo: Thats what Im trying to avoid.
Commissioner Reyes: Its a matter of principles, the principles, sir, and I wont back
down. And I wont back down because every time that this -- I mean --
Vice Chair Carollo: Commissioner, youre -- youre not helping the project, youre
not helping your district or the City by being --
Commissioner Reyes: Well, I -- this is --
Vice Chair Carollo: -- by taking that strong of a position. I understand how you feel.
Commissioner Reyes: No, no, no, no, you dont -- you dont understand how --
Vice Chair Carollo: This will not hap -- this will not happen again. This will not
happen again.
Commissioner Reyes: You dont understand I am sick and tired of these games
already, and I let them choose and they -- whatever they want but I will not back
down. T
Melissa Tapanes Llahues: Through the Chair.
Chair King: Ms. Tapenes.
Ms. Tapanes Llahues: Thank you. Good afternoon, Melissa Tapenes, 200 South
Biscayne Boulevard, Miami.
Vice Chair Carollo: Im sorry, Ms. Tapanes, before I forget, you reminded me, a
Jennings disclosure. I spoke briefly to Ms. Tapanes, and I believe maybe my office
spoke to her also.
Ms. Tapanes Llahues: Yes.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay.
Ms. Tapanes Llahues: Thank you. So, were ready --
Chair King: Wait, I -- I spoke to Ms. Tapanes, but not about the project, so that
doesnt require a Jennings disclosure, correct?
Vice Chair Carollo: No, no.
Chair King: Just making sure.
Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah.
Chair King: Cant be too cautious.
Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah.
City of Miami Page 60 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Ms. Tapanes Llahues: So, were here. Were ready to make a presentation and
perhaps after our presentation, you can consider the application on its merits or defer
it for first reading.
Chair King: Well, theres no -- hold on a second because theres a motion and a
second to vote on it, correct, Todd? So, we either vote on the motion or what are the
options here?
Ms. Tapanes Llahues: If I may, I can suggest a withdrawal of that motion and allow
us to present and that way were able to have at least discussion of the four here and
thereafter it could be deferred, it could be voted on, et cetera. But right now, for --
just based on the the facts of the day, we have not presented our case in chief.
Chair King: Okay, Mr. City Manager.
Vice Chair Carollo: Can --?
Chair King: I think the Manager wants to say something.
Mr. Noriega: Just for purposes of information so that everybody has it and since
Commissioner Carollo wasnt here earlier, just so the Commissioner understands, a
deferral of this item would go to July 27th because it has to be advertised. Just I
wanted to make sure you understood the timeline of it and to remind everybody that
this current item is a first reading item, so just for point of information.
Chair King: Right, but what --
Commissioner Covo: But I have a -- Madam Chair, but I have a question. If its first
reading and technically, lets say, were a 2-2 vote, does it die and go away in 18
months?
Mr. Noriega: It fails.
Commissioner Covo: It fails.
Mr. Noriega: It fails.
Vice Chair Carollo: It fails.
Mr. Noriega: It fails.
Vice Chair Carollo: Thats why, you know, Im asking everybody to, you know,
breathe deeply and caution people on this. This I believe will pass at the following
meeting, but if its 2-2 today, its 18 months before it can come back.
Commissioner Reyes: You can also withdraw your second and --
Commissioner Covo: I -- so, Commissioner Reyes, I seconded because I felt that it
was important to you and like to what Commissioner Carollo said --
Commissioner Reyes: It is important.
Commissioner Covo: -- its an important item that I saw that you were passionate
about, and you were courteous to me because PZ.21 was tough for me because I
City of Miami Page 61 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
didnt understand it as yet and you deferred it for me, so I think that Im going to
withdraw my second.
Commissioner Reyes: Okay, so it is me by myself.
Vice Chair Carollo: No, its not you by yourself --
--
Vice Chair Carollo: -- because listen, next meeting, unless I see something in this
item that is going to deeply change my mind, you will have my vote with you on this
item.
Chair King: So --
Commissioner Reyes: (INAUDIBLE) make a motion to deny then.
Chair King: -- the motion has -- the -- she has withdrawn her second, so theres no
motion. Now, someone can make a motion to defer.
otion to defer.
Chair King: Do I have a second?
Commissioner Covo: Second.
Chair King: All in favor?
Commissioner Covo: To when, Madam (INAUDIBLE)?
Chair King: To defer --
Commissioner Covo: (INAUDIBLE).
Chair King: -- to the 27th.
Vice Chair Carollo: 27th.
Chair King: July 27th because of the notice require --
Commissioner Covo: (INAUDIBLE).
Chair King: 18 months, correct. So, I have a motion and a second.
Vice Chair Carollo: Discussion. Madam City Attorney, for the second reading after
the 27th, if you advertise earlier, whats the earliest that you could have it?
Ms. Méndez: Well, we have to advertise to a date certain. So, we would advertise it
now. We cant make it to the 13th because we missed the deadline today. So, it would
be for the 27th. Its the next meeting we have.
Mr. Noriega: I think what hes asking is how quick could you get second reading on
it.
Ms. Méndez: Oh.
Mr. Noriega: Thats what hes asking.
City of Miami Page 62 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Ms. Méndez: It would be the first meeting in September.
Vice Chair Carollo: Are we anticipating any other meetings --
Ms. Méndez: No.
Vice Chair Carollo: -- in July? Okay, I see that dilemma now, all right, all right.
Ms. Tapanes Llahues: We appreciate the idea of guidelines because if we would have
known yesterday, we could have advertised it for the 13th.
Chair King: So, I have a motion and a second.
Vice Chair Carollo: Well, why cant we advertise it somewhere for the 13th? Diario
de las Americas, have we tried them? Where do we advertise? Theres got to be
someone that -- its only 3 p.m. -- that we could advertise.
Mr. Hannon: Correct, but Diario is only a weekly. We usually use Daily Business
Review, which is the daily Monday through Friday, and the deadline is already
passed when it comes to trying to notice this within the timeframe thats needed by the
Planning Department.
Chair King: The City does so much business with them. They couldnt make an
exception to get it in?
Mr. Hannon: The -- its already very late in the day. They really do have deadlines
and --
Chair King: I understand, but --
Vice Chair Carollo: Well, how about the Herald?
Mr. Hannon: The Herald deadlines are worse.
Mr. Hannon: Daily Business Review is better.
Vice Chair Carollo: Any other paper that we could advertise with?
Mr. Hannon: Not when it comes to the timeframe that were trying to work within.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay.
Ms. Méndez: Its because of the general circulation component. Because it has to be
a paper of general circulation for state statute purposes.
Vice Chair Carollo: Of general circulation, okay.
Ms. Méndez: And we only have like two --
Chair King: And online doesnt count?
Ms. Méndez: Not yet. Were working with the County to try and get these online, but
thats been arduous at best.
City of Miami Page 63 Printed on 08/10/2023
City Commission Meeting Minutes June 22, 2023
Chair King: Well, I have a motion and a second to defer. All in favor?
The Commission (Collectively): Aye.
Commissioner Reyes: Against.
Chair King: All against?
Commissioner Reyes: Aye -- no.
Chair King: The motion carries.
Vice Chair Carollo: And let me ask the following question.
Commissioner Reyes: (INAUDIBLE).
Vice Chair Carollo: On July 27th, can we have first and second reading in the same
day?
Ms. Méndez: No, not for zoning.
Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, all right. Theres another possible way, but well wait
later on.
Chair King: This will conclude the City of Miami Commission meeting for July -- for
June 22nd, 2023. Thank you.
