Submittal-Tony Recio-Composite Exhibit
Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. o Good evening. For the record my name is Tony Recio. I have offices at 2525 Ponce de Leon Boulevard. And I am here on behalf of Miami Big Block, LLC and the related Simkins family entities that are developing the Innovation Tower in the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Area. My comments today pertain to PZ 16 and 17. o At the outset, I'll submit this composite Exhibit that contains the long legislative history that I'll talk about, as well as the CRA approval and the City Attorney's opinion on this matter — all are public record, but it is helpful to have them all in one place o The legislation proposed as PZ 16 and 17 does not, on its face, apply to the Innovation Tower approved by the Southeast Overtown Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director in December 2014. o To the extent that the City intends that this new legislation should apply to the Innovation Tower, we strongly object on the basis that it violates due process, property rights, estoppel principles and deprives the Overtown residents of Miami from significant benefits the existing rules were created to provide. o The existing Media Tower provisions, Section 6.5.1 of Miami 21, which the Simkins family has relied upon, allows a media tower in Overtown and has been on the books since 2002. o That's THIRTEEN YEARS ago. o In those thirteen years, the Media Tower provisions have been vetted at more than TWENTY public hearings held before the CRA Board, the Zoning Board, the PZAB, and this City Commission, wherein many of you participated and voted. • SUBMIT BINDER WITH ORDINANCE HISTORY FOR RECORD o The existing Media Tower provisions were first included in Ordinance 11000. o In 2004, the CRA's Redevelopment Plan proposed a media tower in the exact location where the Innovation Tower has been approved since December 2014. 15-00759zt-Submittal-Tony Recio-Composite Exhibit 15-00778zt Submitted into the public record for item(s) In • I loa' P 1. I? o In 2009, the CRA's Redevelopment Plan was updated yet retained the media tower concept and location. o In 2010, when Miami 21 was created, the City did not merely carry over the Media Tower provisions, it actually streamlined the approval process by eliminating the requirement that applicants seek a Class II Permit. o About two years ago, when the City decided to revise its entire sign ordinance reorganizing and in some cases rewriting entire sections, the City decided to keep the Media Tower provisions untouched. o The purpose of the Media Tower provisions was spelled out in the previous zoning code and re -stated in Miami 21. Section 6.5.1 reads: It is the purpose of the Miami Media Tower to (a) define an area in the City where signage of this type can be placed on a tower that, together with architectural design standards for Buildings within the area as well as Urban Design standards based on new urbanist principles in the area of the City, will establish a unique local, regional and national identity within the area; (b) strengthen the economy of the City by encouraging the development and redevelopment of a depressed, blighted and slum area within a major redevelopment area within the core of the City; and (c) provide a source of funds to be used exclusively within said redevelopment area for redevelopment related activities, and nothing else. o The Media Tower provisions therefore laid out an invitation -- a welcome mat to • Develop an iconic building to serve as the Media Tower; and • Bring a slew of community benefits to the Overtown/ParkWest Redevelopment Area to encourage redevelopment and specifically to provide funds, tangible money, to further this purpose o The Simkins family did just that Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. • The iconic building was the result of a design competition that drew some of the best names in worldwide architecture, and will attract millions of people to Overtown's doorstep; • In this way it is not simply a "billboard tower" as some have said - far from it — this is an over $250M kinetic sculpture with media studios, retail establishments, viewing platforms, and retaurants • The building was designed to meet the new urbanist principles and Urban Design standards codified in Miami 21; and • The benefits to be provided will encourage redevelopment and provide much -needed funding to the redevelopment area for the life of the Innovation Tower. These benefits include: • $5 million dollars before the Innovation Tower is ever opened • A minimum $1M annual contribution that can be increased based on a percentage of media revenues • Development of an active public plaza that will serve as community gathering space for Overtown and Park West o The CRA itself will have access to reserve it for special events at least once per month • Approximately 45 minutes of public service display time per day • Local preference for a significant portion of the construction contracts and jobs • The same local preference for a significant portion of permanent jobs • With no wages lower than the Living Wage plus $1 — that would put it at close to $14 per hour currently — far higher than the minimum wage allowed by law. • 200 free tickets to Innovation Tower attractions per month • $200K contribution funding to job assistance programming • And a series of job fairs throughout construction, before opening the building, and annually thereafter o The Simkins family, born and raised right here in South Florida and imbued with the importance of community stewardship, engaged in this effort and Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. generous package of significant benefits in reliance upon and to further the stated purpose of the existing Media Tower provisions. o Relying on the City -approved CRA Redevelopment plan and the stated purpose of the Media Tower provisions, the Simkins family invested millions in acquiring the exact parcel that the plan proposed as the location of the media tower. o Relying on the Media Tower provisions, the Simkins family then invested millions of dollars and countless hours in pre -development including preparation of architectural plans to seek dry -run approval from the zoning department for the tower structure which it received in March 2014. o Relying on the Media Tower provisions, the Simkins family sought and obtained approval from the CRA's Executive Director in December 2014. • During the months of negotiation leading up to the approval, the Simkins family, relying on the Media Tower provisions and the CRA Executive Director's statements, incurred millions more in design and development of the project, in consultants, lighting studies, to reach out to neighboring condo buildings, and to prepare the legal documents the CRA Executive Director required. o The Executive Director's APPROVAL in December 2014 was in accordance with the letter of the adopted Media Tower provisions and their spirit and intent. The City Attorney confirmed his authority to do this in April 2015. o FAA issued its approval in January of 2015 o Relying on the Executive Director's approval confirmed by the City Attorney, the Simkins family then applied for Sign Permits for the Innovation Tower earlier this month. o Relying on the Executive Director's approval and to memorialize their commitment to the Overtown residents of the City of Miami, the Simkins family entered into a Covenant that set forth the significant Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. benefits discussed previously, among other things. This covenant ensures fulfillment of the express purpose and vision of the Media Tower regulations. o That brings us to TODAY o Where we have the Simkins family who has spent millions and over two years of time and effort, and now the administration is seeking to change the rules when this is so close to finally becoming a reality o This is patently unfair and not supported by the courts. Florida case law has long recognized that once development efforts have been extensively pursued under regulations that provide for those efforts, and where there has been a substantial change in position, cities are estopped from applying new rules to the applicant. o The concept is best stated in Town of Largo versus Imperial Homes. There, the court explained that: "Stripped of the legal jargon which lawyers and judges have obfuscated it with, the theory of estoppel amounts to nothing more than an application of the rules of fair play. One party will not be permitted to invite another onto a welcome mat and then be permitted to snatch the mat away to the detriment of the party induced or permitted to stand thereon." 309 So. 2d 571 (Fla. 2d DCA 1971). o I'm surprised we're even having this discussion — this is not a new issue to the City. Just a few years ago, the City Commission found itself facing an unnecessary three-year legal battle with a business owner in Coconut Grove when it tried to change the hour restrictions on bars in the Grove. That battle culminated in a settlement where the City conceded that the new hour restrictions should not apply to the bar. o This was based on well established case law that enforces the concept of fair play o For more than thirteen years, and over the course of more than twenty public hearings, the City has consistently put out the welcome mat for a developer to Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. build a media tower, specifically in Overtown/Parkwest, in order to benefit the redevelopment area. Now that the Simkins family, relying thereon, has actually secured CRA Executive Director approval to actually build such a tower, and provided an extensive community benefits package to go along with it, the City is proposing to pull that welcome mat right out from under them. Actually, the mat is being pulled out from under not just them, but also the Overtown residents of the City of Miami. o We respectfully urge this Commission to ensure that this ordinance does not apply to the Innovation Tower which has been approved in accordance with the existing Media Tower provisions and now awaits a full and complete review and approval of the Sign Permit. o As it says in the Town of Largo versus Imperial Homes case I mentioned above: "A citizen is entitled to rely on the assurances or commitments of a zoning authority and if he does, the zoning authority is bound by its representations, whether they be in the form of words or deeds...." 309 So. 2d 571 (Fla. 2d DCA 1971). o The citizens in this case are not only the Simkins family, but the Overtown citizens of the City of Miami who will directly benefit from the Innovation Tower, as well as all taxpaying citizens of Miami who will indirectly benefit from an improved Overtown/ Park West area. o All of them are being adversely affected if the City seeks to apply this proposed legislation to the Innovation Tower. Please ensure this does not happen. Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk.

Sec. 33C 1. Legislative intent, findings and purposes. The board of county commissioners for Metropolitan Dadc County, Florida, hereby declares and finds that thc uncoordinated use of lands within thc county threatens the orderly development and the h alth, safety, ordcr, convenience, prosperity and welfare of the present and future citizens of this county. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 75 22, the board adopted and accepted thc Comprehensive Development Master Plan for Metropolitan Dade County whereby it specifically declared that it was the continuing policy of Metropolitan Dade County, in cooperation with federal, state, regional and local governments, and other concerned public and private rganizati no, to use all reasonable means and measures to: (a) Foster and promote thc general welfare; (b) Create and maintain conditions under which man and nature - can exist in productive harmony; and (c) Fill thc social, cconoxeqe and other requirements of thc present and future generations o€ e€tizens of Metropolitan Dade County, Florida.

In furthcrancc of these goals and objectives, the board finds that thc coordinated rcvicw and analysis of its maoo transit facilitico arc nccc33ary to arry on a ccntral metropolitan government in Dadc County, Florida. Coordinated rcvicw and analyoio of thc maoo transit oyotcm-arc Suoceptiblc to, and would be most effectively arried on, under a uniform plan of regulation appli able to the county ao a whole. Thc planning of major transportation facilities, combined with othcr plan implementation tools, can bc effectively used in meeting Social, economic and environmental needs and in crc ting a major influence on metropolitan devel pmcnt patter -no and lifc otylco. Thc capability of a transportation network, acting in conjunction with othcr urban ocrviccs to establish general dcvclopment trends, i3 well recognised. A maximum coordination of transportation and land uoc policy dcci3iono i3 thcrcforo essential to optimize thc role of transportation ao a potcnt tool for implcmcnting thc desired pattcrn3 of metropolitan dcvclopment. Thc board further finds that thc Stage I Fixed Cuidcway Rapid Transit Syotcm hap, Since 1973, undcrgonc extcnoivc planning, rcvicw, analyoi3, and cnginccring dc3ign efforts. The Stagc I 3y3tcm hao received dcoign approval from both thc federal and otatc governments and is in thc proccoo of final dc3ign, procurement and construction activities. The Stagc I 3y3tcm, including propoocd improvcmcnto in othcr forma of surface transportation facilities, rcprc3ent3 a concerted, coordinated effort to improve not only thc tranoportation facilities within Dadc County, but the vcrall quality of lifc enjoyed by citizens of and vioitors to Dadc County. Finally, the Stage I 3y3tcm rcpreocnto one of thc largeot public- worko p-rojecto ever undcrtakcn in Dade County and the Southeastern united Statco.

Variances for height on freestanding outdoor advertising signs may be granted by the Zoning Board, pursuant to the regulations and limitations set forth in Article 19 of this zoning ordinance, and upon compliance with the following: 1. An application for a height variance for a freestanding outdoor advertising sign may only be submitted, and accepted by the city, if the height variance is necessary due to a government action which renders the sign not visible from the roadway(s) which it was intended to be viewed from; said government action will only be considered a justification for the requested variance if the action occurs after the sign has been legally erected under the provisions of the zoning ordinance in effect at the time the sign was built. A legally erected sign that was legally constructed and not in compliance with the height provisions of the zoning ordinance may not justify the noncompliant height as hardship for a variance request; only a subsequent government action, which physically impedes the visibility of a sign, will be considered a valid justification; 2. Any application for a height variance for a freestanding outdoor advertising sign must be accompanied by line of sight studies from the roadway(s) which such sign is intended to be viewed from; and 3. A finding must be made that the variance be requested is the minimum variance necessary to make such sign visible from the roadway(s) which such sign is intended to be viewed from.

SD-6, 6.1 Central Commercial -Residential Districts These districts are of special and substantial interest because of their proximity to the Central Business District and the need to provide supporting and complementary high -density residential and office development with major retail shopping and entertainment activities. It is intended to increase desirable pedestrian activity by mandating ground level retail and service uses with strong pedestrian orientation on frontages along major public walkways. By encouraging uses, activities, arrangements, and amenities that generate pedestrian street life, the pedestrian walking experience will be diversified, stimulated, and enhanced. Due to the increased traffic burden on public roads and sidewalks that will be caused by the substantial increase of permitted development intensity in these districts, it is intended that public walkway systems be increased commensurately by the creation of plazas and promenades within the districts' yard and setback requirements, and by through block connections. The scale and utility of these widened walkways will complement and interconnect the high -intensity development fostered by these Submitted into the public Page 141 of 202 record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 g on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. 2 • districts. To promote pedestrian comfort and convenience, it is intended to locate vehicular entrances to properties in such a manner as not to disrupt pedestrian flow on major pedestrian walkways. As a significant view corridor of special character and a major link to the Central Business District, it is intended to protect and enhance the unique aesthetic and functional qualities of Biscayne Boulevard by requiring additional open space, yard, and setbacks for building frontage on the boulevard. To relieve the dense spatial quality of these districts, and to provide a transparent link between interior and exterior pedestrian environments, a percentage of lot area is mandated as a well landscaped plaza activity area that will border on the adjacent street. It is intended that these plazas form strong active pedestrian areas linking adjacent streetscapes to building interiors. It is intended that large scale, yet diverse architectural designs are to be encouraged as statements of regional significance and the inherent social and economic complexity of these districts. However, to ensure ground level compatibility of projects, it is intended that the landscaping, paving materials, and street furniture complement these districts as a whole, and provide a uniform, yet diverse environment for the users. Consistent with the complex dense urban character of the center city, it is intended that emphasis be given to graphics, signs and lighting as a means of projecting color, vitality, excitement and blend of activity. Special intent concerning SD-6.1. In addition to the general intent in section 606.1., the special intent for SD-6.1 is to promote development of a mixed -use complex, including a public performing arts center. To this end, incentives are provided through increased floor area ratio for dedication of land and/or construction of performing arts theaters and an additional Metromover station to serve the theaters. Additionally, floor area ratio incentives are provided to encourage the private sector to provide onsite housing, to assist with the construction of affordable housing within the SD- 6 and SD- 6.1 districts, and to provide amenities and services such as child care centers and ground floor retail, restaurant, and service uses.

SD-7 Central Brickell Rapid Transit Commercial - Residential Districts This district is of special and substantial public interest because of its close proximity to the central business district, the Miami River, and the Metrorail and Metromover transit stations serving the Brickell area and because of its history as a predominantly residential neighborhood. In the interests of reduction of traffic within the city generally and in this district in particular, of conservation of energy, and of the creation of an intensive urban environment with a twenty -four-hour activity pattern, it is intended that high -intensity mixed -use development of residential, office, and retail and service uses be encouraged that will provide innovative design of residential spaces, including the concept of residential uses on upper levels over ground floor retail and service uses; retail, service, cultural and entertainment uses at ground level oriented towards intensive pedestrian usage; a modified downtown environment with minimal yards, a high percentage of lot coverage, highly usable pedestrian open spaces at ground level, and maximum interrelationship of ground floor uses and exterior public open space. Concerning uses, it is intended that multifamily residential occupancy and ground level retail, service, cultural and entertainment uses be encouraged individually or as a part of a mixed -use residential and office development through a floor area incentive system. It is further intended to create a central focus of neighborhood activity along Brickell Promenade and adjoining frontages along Miami Avenue by requiring retail, service, cultural and entertainment uses at ground level along street frontages within the district, especially along Miami Avenue and SE loth Street (the Brickell Promenade). Although it is intended that the character of development be intensive, it is also intended that buildings be designed to provide pedestrians with lively, interesting, well landscaped spaces at ground level. To this end, yard areas adjacent to all streets are required to be developed as an integral part of the neighborhood pedestrian walkway system; and maximum setbacks are established for the ground floor of buildings, in order to form a continuous, uniform edge of building facades along the sidewalk edge. Certain streets which form linkages to transit stations and other activity centers can be expected to carry major volumes of pedestrian traffic; thus it is intended that development adjacent Submitted into the public Page 146 of 202 record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 g on 6/25/2015.

SD-22 Florida Avenue Special District The intent of this special district is of substantial public interest because of the pressing need to redevelop this area of Coconut Grove, so that it may properly fulfill its role as a transitional zone between the existing SD-2 Coconut Grove Central Commercial District to the south and east, the R-2 Two -Family Residential District to the south and east, the R- 2 Two -Family Residential District to the north, and the R-1 Single Family Residential District to the west. In order to accomplish this goal a slight increase in density, along with the opportunity to integrate limited commercial uses as a component, is implemented so as to establish a mixed use district. Such development is intended to bring pedestrians from the Coconut Grove commercial area into Florida Avenue. The increased activity generated by the implementation of limited commercial uses on the street will provide this district with the additional presence needed to enhance safety for residents and visitors alike. The creation of this district will also enact a set of design standards and guidelines with the intended effect of providing this neighborhood with a unique yet appropriate character. The desired result is to transform this transitional area into an asset to the community by making it a safe, pedestrian -friendly and well -planned neighborhood with a slightly densified, yet still predominantly vernacular architectural environment.

SD-23 Coral Way Special Overlay District. Mature banyan trees growing in the median and arching over the roadways on either side characterize the Coral Way corridor. This creates a "green tunnel" effect that is widely admired for it's softening of this four -lane divided roadway. Submitted into the public Page 178 of 202 record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 g on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. • Coral Way is designated as a historic roadway by the State of Florida, and cannot be significantly modified or widened without findings of special exception and concurrence by the City of Miami. This designation is largely responsible for the continuing existence of the banyan trees, and can provide a basis for further enhancement and beautification of the roadway. Coral Way is a very diverse urban corridor containing a combination of one and two story residential developments, office developments of one and two stories and up to ten stories, and predominantly one story retail and service establishments. There are numerous instances of different land uses occurring on opposite sides of the corridor. This unique blend of retail, office and residential uses marks Coral Way as special urban neighborhood with a great deal of pedestrian activity. It is the intent of this special district to preserve the character of certain sections of Coral way within the City, from downtown to the city limits at SW 37th Avenue. Coral Way is a gateway into the city and should be preserved and enhanced in a manner befitting this designation. To this end, the purpose of this special district overlay is to ensure that future development and redevelopment activity respects this character and compliments the scale and variety of uses along the Coral Way corridor.

Overlapping of functional windows, extensions beyond parapet edges obscuring architectural ornamentation or disruption of dominant facade lines are examples of sign design problems considered unacceptable. (b) The sign's color and value (shades of light and dark) should be harmonious with building materials. Strong contrasts in color or value between the sign and building that draw undue visual attention to the sign at the expense of the overall architectural composition shall be avoided. (c) In the case of a lighted sign, a reverse channel letter that silhouettes the sign against a lighted building face is desirable. Lighting of a sign should be accompanied by accent lighting of the building's distinctive architectural features and especially the facade area surrounding the sign. Lighted signs on unlit buildings are unacceptable. The objective is a visual lighting emphasis on the building with the lighted sign as subordinate. (d) Feature lighting of the building, including exposed light elements that enhance building lines, light sculpture or kinetic displays that meet the criteria of the Dade County art -in -public places ordinance, shall not be construed as signage subject to these regulations. 8.

This amendment is being proposed in order to more specifically accomplish the following: 1. Unify sign regulations within the zoning ordinance so that they are consolidated into a single Article of the code; 2. Include expanded language regarding intent and criteria for signage and sign permits; 3. The revised sign code makes no preference for commercial speech over non-commercial, and is as content -neutral as reasonably (and logically) possible. 4. Nothing permits or otherwise alters other current state and federal regulations against obscenity and pornography; 5. No signs are permitted, unless authorized, or exempted by the code (for example, govemmental signs, flags, etc.); 6. All lawful signs are either permanent or temporary, with corresponding restrictions. Copy on temporary signs is event -driven, and is treated similarly. For example, real estate signs must come down after the sale of the property, and political signs must come down after the election. The regulations include specifications as to when temporary signs must be removed. In addition, clarifying language was added to specify that real estate signs shall be limited to one per residential unit for R-1 and R-2 properties, and one per street frontage for other zoning districts. 7. A window sign, not exceeding one (1) square foot, will now be permitted for each dwelling unit, year round. 8. No new amortization period is created for signs which are currently nonconforming; they will have to be removed in accordance with already - granted amortization periods; and, amortization periods are allowed for signs that will become nonconforming as a result of the passage of this ordinance; Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. 1f) h i -I c r • 9. Freestanding outdoor advertising signs (billboards) that become non- conforming as a result of the adoption of this ordinance must be removed five years after the adoption of this ordinance; however, such signs may be allowed to remain, provided they obtain a Class II Special Permit, and pay required mitigation fees. 10. There are specific sign regulations for each district, which regulations relate logically to the needs and design intent for that district. 11. "Outdoor advertising businesses", as defined, is a land use which generally states that any one paying or receiving income from an outdoor advertiser sign is deemed by state law to be engaged in an outdoor advertising business, and is required to have a state license. This revised sign code makes amendments related to goveming outdoor advertising businesses as a land use, and the signs associated with them as characteristics of use for such uses. The schedule of district regulations in Article 4 regulate where such uses may be permissible, and the sign regulations in the new Article 10 regulate the sizes and locations (among other criteria) for such signs. 12. Variances for height of billboards will be allowed if a govemment action (such as the construction of sound barrier walls along a highway) renders the billboard not visible from the roadway(s), which they were intended to be viewed from. The Planning and Zoning Department is recommending approval of the proposed amendment finding that the proposed amendment will serve to visually improve the quality of the city, while simplifying sign regulations within the code.

Lourdes Slazyk and others who worked on the new codes have done a great job and it will be far better than what now exists, however I believe there is room for improvement to be made from the document approved by the Planning and Zoning Board which will go before the Commission March 7 for first reading. Ideally, the administration should have held some resident and business owner workshops to solicit comments so that concerns could have been fully addressed before it went to the Planning and Zoning Board, however as it was explained to the Planning and Zoning Board the city is under time restraints to get a document which can stand up to first amendment challenges already lodged by the outdoor advertising companies. Chairman Regalado, I am asking you to schedule a time certain on or after 7 PM for the March 7 First Reading. At that time, the Commission can hear people's concerns, the Commission will have the opportunity to make changes and the document can stay on track for second reading. I made this request via phone with your office February 25. It is my belief that these new codes will become the single most important set of documents which will define how Miami appears to our residents and tourists. Unlike codes which affect one Special District of the city or a single building, these codes will set visual standards for the entire city. It is the visual image that one remembers when visiting a city or individual business district that leaves a positive or negative lasting impression of the entire city. I ask that you look at several items which I have divided into four areas of concern: POLE SIGNS, CONDITIONAL ACCESSORY USE, MISCELLANEOUS SUGGESTED CHANGES AND CONCERNS NOT COVERED BY CODE: Submitted into the publia record in co nec kin with Item PZ- '3cn Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. • POLE SIGNS: The new codes will allow pole signs from 40-200 square feet to be erected 20 feet tall in many areas of the city. Please consider eliminating pole signs and replacing them with monument style signs placed on the ground with a height of no more than six feet with 32 square feet allowed for each of two sides. Reasoning: This past weekend I drove US 1 from Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale with my 87 year old mother. We were amazed on how most of the cities we drove through have really improved their image by reducing visual clutter. My mother commented oh how some cities look "neat and clean" and others looked "junky". I submit that my mother's comments and the impressions she will remember are no different than you would hear from any average tourist concerning the number, size, height and placement of signs. In fact, the predominant difference in the visual appearance of cities everywhere is that many cities have done away with pole signs, others allow only monument signs and some still have remaining pole signs of various sizes and heights. It is the latter that brings negative images to mind. Miami should lead Miami -Dade County in eliminating visual clutter. Certainly we should not lag behind cities in Broward and Palm Beach counties and indeed all the other cities in Miami -Dade County which have tighter signs codes. Miami Beach, Coral Gables and most recently North Miami Beach do not allow pole signs. Some allow monument signs. At the hearing on bus bench advertising, Commissioner Winton made an astute observation when he said something to the effect that it is the details that make a difference in so many projects. I ask the Commission pay close attention to the details of these codes which will define our streets and city. Please look at the attached Table showing ground signs allowed in zones of City of Miami. From the table you will see that many areas will have no pole style signs, many will have monument only signs only and some areas will have neither monument or pole style signs. I submit that if large pole style signs actually improved business by catching the attention of the driver who is not familiar with the area, then businesses located along the heaviest travelled roads could benefit most from such signs. In fact, many new businesses located along heavily traveled roads such as Biscayne Boulevard and Calle Ocho, neither of which allow pole signs, (Biscayne from 36 street to the city limits does not allow monument signs either) are doing very well with signs only mounted on the sides of a building. Retail businesses located on less travelled roads, which is where pole signs would be allowed under this plan, will not benefit significantly from any type of pole or monument signs because the fact is these retail businesses traditional depend on local customers who know the area and most likely live in the are& In fact, retail businesses located in these areas traditionally market themselves through phone directory advertising, local print media, direct mail and word of mouth all aimed at bringing the customer to their business address. Wholesale businesses would not benefit significantly from pole or monument signs as their customer lives outside the area. These businesses usually build their customer base thru advertising in phone directories, industry directories and industry journals. They also use direct mail to their industry group and they participate in trade shows. Submitted into the public S&! rr"t`ed fr''^t, the rri ^!

City Clerk. �� ' P Z —! 3 r e� • If these businesses feels strongly that it needs a ground sign then a monument sign would serve the purpose and create a better visual image. It is for all these reasons that I ask you to instruct the administration to replace all references to pole signs with monument sipn.s with a limitation on size of 32 square feet for each of two sides not to exceed six feet in height. CONDITIONAL ACCESSORY USE: Conditional accessory use should not be allowed for the display of eight sheet advertising measuring 32 square feet. If use is allowed, the following condition should be added to all of the references below. Add condition f: Such signs shall not be lighted or surround by light.

I believe this is especially important for anyone to be able to report advertising structures to the city which are not properly maintained as it is often times very difficult to determine an address of an advertising structure. A properly displayed number would be most useful. Page 79 Home Occupations: I believe that ten square feet to advertise a home occupation in a residential neighborhood is too large.

Page 83 Office Permanent Signs: Projecting signs are allowed. I suggest that signs should be wall mounted only. Page 86 Ground floor establishment signs: c. An awning sign should not be limited to 6 inch letters as a business may want to use the awning as part or all of their allowed area in place of a wall mounted sign. A business which just opened on Biscayne Boulevard did just that and it looks fine. Awnings can be quite attractively painted and of course should be subject to maintenance standards. Page 87-90 Ground or freestanding signs are permitted to be a minimum of 40 square feet times two surfaces and 20 feet tall, greater size for larger frontage. For reasons listed above I suggest that pole or post signs not be allowed. All ground signs should be monument signs where space and driving sight lines will allow such a sign, otherwise a ground or free standing sign shall not be allowed. I submit that businesses which have opened on Biscayne Boulevard over the past four years with no free standing signs cannot claim that the lack of such sign has caused any detrimental effect on their business. One auto parts business has many more autos in its parking lot on a regular basis then one located further north on the Boulevard located in the county and that store has a post sign measuring about 200 square feet. Page 91, number 3 One such sign not exceeding 20 feet should state that it should be wall mounted or monument style if sight lines permit and not taller then six feet.

Vending machines used to be for vending only. They now carry advertising on three or more sides. When they are placed on any property they should be considered as an advertising business and should not be not allowed to be placed unless advertising is removed and machines is painted to blend in with property on which it is placed. There is no reference to banners traditionally attached to light poles along public streets. On a related concern, I have written to Mr. Jackson of Public works to see what can be done to consolidate the mounting of various state and city signs on light poles as many municipalities do, instead of having several signs appear (often times 3-4) on separate poles. Thank you for doing what is right in getting Miami back on track and for improving our visual image. I am usually available from 9 AM to midnight to answer any questions you or your staff may have. • Thank you Sincerely, Stephen D.

Frank Rollason (Executive Director, Community Redevelopment Agency): Item Number 2 is the item of the Dover Kohl plan for the Southeast Overtown/Park West. This is the plan that has been before you several times now for public meetings. It has now gone -- with your approval, it went to the Planning Advisory Board. It was approved by the Planning Advisory Board. It went before the City Commission in October as a P&Z (Planning & Zoning) item; it was approved by that Commission. It now has to come back here for your approval. When that happens, it'll go back to the City for them to adopt the plan as a Commission, and then it will be forwarded to the County to try to get it approved by the County Commission, so tonight is another -- one of the steps in the steps to get it forward to the County. Chairman Winton: I'm -- Vice Chairman Allen: All right. Chairman Winton: I'm sorry. Yes, sir.

Chairman Winton: And has Board Member Allen had an opportunity to review the plan with consultants? Mr. Rollason: I have not had the consultant meet with -- Dover Kohl did not meet with Mr. Allen -- with Commissioner Allen. Vice Chairman Allen: Right. Chairman Winton: Would you like to do that first or no? Vice Chairman Allen: No. My understanding is this has already been approved by Planning & Zoning. Chairman Winton: That's correct.

Lourdes, PZ.8 Lourdes Slazyk (Assistant Director, Planning & Zoning): PZ.8 is a resolution approving the amended Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan. It's been recommended for approval with conditions by the Planning Department. Our only condition has to do with the prioritization of the recommendations of the plan. We believe that the plan shouldn't necessarily include a prioritization because if funds become available for something that's not on the priority list, you don't want to preclude yourself from being able to do other things. Other than that, we recommend approval. Commissioner Allen: I'd like -- just a quick question, Lourdes. Ms. Slazyk: Sure. Commissioner Allen: What -- give us some examples of their prioritization items, if you will. Ms. Slazyk: Well, I don't have -- Commissioner Allen: For example, what -- Ms. Slazyk: -- the whole plan in front of me, but let's say there was a prioritization to do a certain street improvement, and some grant dollars become available that we could use matching funds for to do something else, and if it's not on a priority list, we can't do it because you've bound yourself to a priority list. We believe that the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) and the City Commission should have flexibility in how to begin to do implementation of recommendations from the plan. Commissioner Allen: But shouldn't the priority be driven by the issue of blight and slum? That should be, as a general rule -- Ms. Slazyk: Well, I believe that's within the CRA's mission -- Commissioner Allen: Right. Ms. Slazyk: -- and that's what it should be. Commissioner Allen: So the prioritization should be -- Ms. Slazyk: Yes. Commissioner Allen: -- consistent with that, right? Ms. Slazyk: I believe so. When you prioritize actual projects and things, you know, you may not give yourself a flexibility to do something else if it comes up. Commissioner Allen: Right, because respectfully, we have two CRAs, but we're talking about both CRAs here, correct? Ms. Slazyk: This is the Southeast Overtown/Park West. Commissioner Allen: Oh, OK. Ms. Slazyk: Right, and the plan's been reviewed several times. Planning Advisory Board recommended approval. Commissioner Allen: I move the item.

Lourdes Slazyk (Zoning Administrator): Okay. For the -- Chair Samoff: All right. You're recognized for the record. Ms. Slazyk: Thank you. For the record, Lourdes Slazyk, Zoning. PZ.16 is an ordinance amending Chapter 62 of the City Code by amending Article XIII to create a new Division 8 in order to permit media towers in the Omni CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) area. The Omni CRA includes the Miami Performing Arts Center, which serves as a regional arts and entertainment venue drawing performances from around the world. This ordnance enables the development of media towers only through the enactment of a development agreement to be approved by the City Commission. The development agreement ensures that the City will be the recipient of substantial public benefit for the consideration of permitting these media towers. Through this ordnance the Manager will be authorized to approve media towers after review and recommendations are rendered from the City's UDRB (Urban Development Review Board) and the directors of Planning, Building, and Zoning Departments. In addition, all of such towers shall also be subject to approvals by Miami -Dade County and FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation). The substantial public benefits will assist in the removal of blight from the CRA area and through implementation of the media towers will provide public parking for a minimum of 1,000 cars to serve as support for the significant public investment involved in the PAC (Performing Arts Center). In addition, the towers will promote the regional commercial and entertainment functions of downtown and the Omni CRA. In addition, if these properties on which a media tower will be located are the subject of a current Major Use Special Permit, Section 62-804 of the ordnance allows for the tolling of the MUSP through the required development agreement as a further consideration for the provision of parking and other public benefits. And we'd like to make one clarification on Section 62-808. The fee is a $2 per square foot per month per sign fee is what is associated with this. Thank you. Chair Sarnoff: All right. Ben Fernandez: Thank you. Chair Sarnoff: You're recognized for the record. Mr. Fernandez: Yes, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Manager, members of the board. Ben Femandez, 200 South Biscayne Boulevard. I want to just begin by reading into the record a disclosure of consideration that was filed by our office last night or actually yesterday on behalf of Maefield Holdings, LLC (Limited Liability Company). Want to disclose that there is a restrictive covenant -- a private restrictive covenant with BDB Miami, LLC, which is a property owner within the area of the property that is subject to this application. And that there is no monetary compensation, but there is a benefit in that covenant. There are also offered labor agreements with the following unions: the carpenters union, laborers union, the plumbers union, ironworkers union, and the White's Construction Company. In addition, there is an agreement to support with the Venetian Condo Association and The Grand. And those are all part of the public record. I will go into the presentation at this point. With me today is Mr. Mark Siffm and Mae Siffm of Maefield Holdings, LLC, Andy Dolkart of Miami Economic Associates, John Cardello of ADD, Inc., our project architect. Chair Sarnoff: Mr. Bercow, do you have any objection to me opening up PZ.16 and 17 together so the record would be together? Mr. Fernandez: We would like that. Chair Sarnoff: All right. So what I'm going to do is open up PZ.16 and 17 together so the record can be reviewed on either item. Mr. Fernandez: Thank you. Mr. Glen Wiebe of Daktronics, our lighting consultant; my partner, Jeffrey Bercow, and my colleague, Melissa Tapanes-Llahues. The first thing I'd like to do here is dispel any notion that the media tower is a novel or new concept in the City of Miami. The media tower is really nothing new. It's a use that's been contemplated by City officials. It's been described in two different city codes, and there are various studies that have been commissioned by this very Commission concerning the media tower where the media tower has been referenced. City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 3 Printed on 4/29/2015 • The first incarnation of the media tower was under Zoning Ordinance 11000, and it was created in the early '80s, and that's what you see on your monitor now. That image comes straight out of a CRA redevelopment plan. The defmition of the media tower under 11000 was a structure that may serve as a viewing tower and a kinetic illuminated media display system utilizing signage, video, and all other forms of animated, illuminated visual message media within the Southeast Overtown/Park West redevelopment area. Back when this section was created under the prior code, the vision of the media tower was to help define an entertainment center within the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA area. The media tower was to be a part of a pedestrian -friendly promenade along Northeast l lth Street that would bridge today's Museum Park, then Bicentennial Park, with downtown and Overtown. As recently as last year, the adoption of Miami 21 confirmed that the media tower concept continues to be relevant today. Miami 21 carried over the media tower provisions of 11000 into our new form -based code with only some minor modifications. And it's interesting because this is one of the few things that Miami 21 didn't change from Ordinance 11000. It pretty much threw out everything else. The new Miami 21 provision anticipates a Miami media tower as an exciting focal point within the WorldCenter/Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA area. And you can see the defmition on your screen out of Miami 21 in Section 6.5.4 that describes almost the identical defmition, a structure that may serve as a viewing tower, kinetic illuminated media display system utilizing signage, video, et cetera within the Southeast Overtown/Park West area. So both defmitions are practically identical, the key being that this can only be located within the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA area. Unfortunately, as all of you Commissioners sit here today in consideration of this ordinance and this development agreement, more than 20 years have passed since the media tower concept was first conceived, and still there is no media tower within the Community Redevelopment Agency, and there is no -- agency area, and there's no media tower within the City of Miami. So that brings us to the ordinance that the Mayor and the Manager have before you today. This ordinance brings the media tower to fruition by recognizing that circumstances have changed since the media tower was first conceived and that it is now appropriate for the media tower to be located in the Omni CRA as well as in the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA areas. The ordinance allows the media tower in the most appropriate location within the CRA, we believe, which is within the performing arts district area, and specifically on the City Square properties that are coming up on your screen in just a moment. The ordinance also is appropriate because it will create a media tower in an area that -- where it can be an icon and serve as a point of reference for residents and tourists visiting the City of Miami. That's always been the intent of the media tower in all of the reports prepared by professional consultants to the City of Miami. The ordinance also establishes specific criteria for media towers that don't exist in the code today for a media tower. So we're actually creating more specific criteria than what exists today for this very same use via this ordinance, and my partner, Jeff, will get into those criteria a little bit more specifically in just a little bit. But before we go into that, I want to just introduce you or -- many of you are new to this major use permit, so I want to tell you about what has been approved on this property in the past. The property is subject to two separate major use permits. And it's important to understand what's approved because that will allow you to understand what Mr. Siffm, the developer, is conceding to via the development agreement that you're also considering at this time. The City Square residential major use permit was approved with 942 dwelling units, 13,566 square feet of retail uses, 1,684 parking spaces within a 623-foot-high, 60-story structure, and this is for the property that you see on your screen, and it is behind the Boulevard Shops, to give you a point of reference, on Biscayne Boulevard. It's approximately a 1.9-acre property. That's the smaller property of the two that you see on these boards as well. The City Square retail major use permit was another major use permit approved on the six -acre property located across North Bayshore Drive to the east from the smaller site. That was approved for approximately 641,000 square feet of retail use, 4,052 parking spaces, in a five -story 130-foot-high commercial structure. This is what is the subject of phase two in the development agreement and that is the City Square retail MUSP. Combined, these major use permits essentially approve two 60-story high-rises that you see on the screen and a big -box retail use similar to Dadeland Station, immediately next to the Performing Arts Center, which you can also see in the image before you. When you compare the major use permit approvals to the phase one and phase two development agreement project that we're presenting today, what you will find is that the phase one height will be reduced considerably by over 170 feet compared to the City Square residential major use permit. Similar -- phase one will also provide 1,600 cars parking garage, 2,000 square feet of retail, and it will also renovate the historic Boulevard Shops on Biscayne Boulevard. Phase two of our development agreement also reflects a major reduction in the size of the approved major use permit. Phase two features a pedestrian -oriented, open-air, plaza -style retail project with a trolley route, as well as an observation tower. Phase two will be limited to a maximum height of 75 feet versus 130 \feet. It'll be approximately 300,000 square feet of retail versus the 641,000 that was approved by the prior MUSP. And the project is going to be specifically designed to accommodate upscale retailers, food and beverage establishments, and a movie theater, rather than the big box that was previously approved for the property. So the point being that our proposal today is going to generate fewer vehicular impacts to City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 4 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • the area and it's going to create fewer structural or building massing impacts to the area by reducing the overall project considerably. Now I'd like to go back a moment to the ordinance because the rationale for the ordnance and the justification for the ordinance goes beyond simply the fact that Miami 21 already contains a definition for a media tower, and it goes beyond the fact that there's a precedent from the prior code that also contained a definition for the media tower. The rationale for this ordinance is also the fact that the media tower is going to create specific benefits today for the Omni CRA area. A major infrastructure improvement will be provided that's going to generate significant increase in TIF (Tax Increment Fund) dollar revenues for the CRA, as well as the City of Miami. And this improvement is going to be in the form of the 1,600-space parking garage that will also be addressing the Performing Arts Center parking deficit. And this parking structure is going to serve as a transportation hub that will connect pedestrians to the Metromover, which is directly abutting this site, and thereby also connect visitors to the PAC area, to the rest of downtown, to Museum Park, and to the club districts as well. There's also a financial benefit -- a significant fmancial benefit to this development agreement. Phase one and phase two projects combined will provide the City of Miami with revenues in excess of $2.3 million annually. This is inclusive of ad valorem taxes, parking surcharge payments, signage fees, and sales tax rebates. Of this amount, 1.9 million is attributable to the parking garage revenues -- approximately 1.9 million, and approximately $397,000 is attributable to the retail facility. The Omni CRA will receive approximately $2.5 million annually, including 1.7 million from the retail facility and approximately 700,000 from the parking garage. The project is also going to generate approximately $339,500 in impact fees for the Downtown Development Authority and approximately $118,450 annually in recurring ad valorem revenues after the project has been constructed. Finally, with respect to jobs -- and I know that this is a very important issue for many of the people that are here today -- this project is going to employ 2,900 people during the construction phase of the project. And you'll hear today from Mr. Siffm that we're ready to go with this project. In addition, after construction, this project is going to provide 883 permanent jobs as well. So with that, I want to turn it over to Jeff to tell you a little bit more about the ordnance itself. Thank you. Julie O. Bru (City Attorney): Mr. Chair, before we go on, I'd just like to make sure that we do something in a clean way. We have an ordnance and we have a development agreement. The ordnance is a legislative matter. It's -- it really stands on its own, and it's something upon which you have to act because it's first reading for the ordinance today. The development agreement, you don't have to act on that. It's just a public hearing. Even though everything is kind of interwined [sic] in their presentation, I'd like for you to, when you take up the ordinance, take it up separately, have a public hearing for the ordinance, vote on that, and then just have the public hearing on the development agreement. I know that you're trying to save time and listen to everything — Chair Sarnoff: I'm not trying to save time, but there may be -- if -- there may be an amendment that I'm going to tender that's going to reference the build agreement 'cause I may want to make some changes to the build agreement. Ms. Bru: Well, but right now what was introduced by the Administration was the ordinance. We're on PZ.16. Chair Samoff: I thought we opened up both of them together. Ms. Bru: You did. And I wanted to -- I didn't want to interrupt, but what is before you now is PZ.16, which is the ordinance. The ordinance is permitting a regulatory scheme. It has a criteria. It's a technical matter. If you want to address the ordinance, that's what I would suggest. Open up the public hearing on the ordinance, have your vote on the ordinance, and then we can deal with the development agreement, which is just a public hearing today, and that one is more unique to this project, because the ordinance really stands on its own. It's an ordinance for a media tower. It could be any media tower in the district, not this media tower. Doesn't have -- Jeffrey Bercow: Mr. Chair. Ms. Bru: -- to be this one only. Chair Sarnoff: Well, let me put it to you like this, Madam City Attorney. I intend -- it's pretty obvious what's going on. I intend to let -- what we vote on on each particular issue, I understand, has got to be discreet. However, everything that's submitted here today should be a part of the record for either one, and the reason is 'cause some of • the amendments I may suggest, I think, are going to be necessary to be part of that, and I'm going to make some amendments to the ordinance so that the build agreement may, in fact, on certain circumstances govern. So I think City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 5 Printed on 4/29/2015 • it's hard to do what you want to do. However, I agree with you; you've got to vote separately inevitably. But I think the record can be for both. Ms. Bru: Okay. Well, we will try to help you keep the record straight so that the ordinance stands on its own; the vote, the public hearing reflects the ordinance, and then matters that concem this legislatively authorized development agreement can then just stand on their own, okay? Chair Samoff: Understood. Mr. Bercow: Thank you. Chair Samoff: You're recognized for the record. Mr. Bercow: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Commissioners. Jeffrey Bercow, with Bercow Radell Fernandez, 200 South Biscayne Boulevard, also representing Maefield Holdings. And for the record, Mr. Chair, we do agree with you and our presentation obviously addresses both the ordinance and the development agreement, but we believe that each vote needs to be taken separately. As Ben mentioned earlier, media towers have been in the Miami code for quite a long time. However, they've never been defined and there has never been any development criteria or development -- or building regulations for a media tower, and that's what this ordinance does. This ordinance creates the definition of a media tower and establishes criteria and conditions for building one and, perhaps most importantly, allows for a media tower in the Omni CRA, since previously the media tower was only permitted in the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Area. So let's talk about the criteria and conditions in this ordinance for a media tower. Media tower buildings must provide for parking for a minimum of four -- of a minimum of 1,000 cars. That creates a significant infrastructure improvement for the Omni CRA -- Priscilla A. Thompson (City Clerk): Excuse me, Chair. I'm sorry. There is a presentation that they want to be running, and we're just notifying our AV (Audiovisual) people if they can put your presentation up. The presentation is not showing. Mr. Bercow: -- that satisfies an infrastructure deficiency and provides a major public benefit for the area. The lighting of media towers must be designed so they don't increase light levels past certain specified limits. They must be less than one foot candle above ambient lighting level 400 feet from the media tower, less than half a foot candle above the ambient lighting level at 600 feet from the media tower, and less than a quarter foot candle above the ambient level at 800 feet from the media tower. Our lighting studied prepared by Daktronics is in a booklet that we're going to distribute at the end of our presentation. Our lighting expert, Glen Wiebe, is here to answer any questions that you may have on that study. Media towers must be illuminated by light -emitting diode, LED, lights, and they must eliminate glare and intensity that might pose a safety hazard for pedestrians and drivers. The illuminated surfaces of media towers cannot face residential units within 500 feet and no portion of a media tower can be located within 300 feet of the T3, T4, or T5 transects. The ordinance provides a 500-foot-high limitation on the media towers, and all of these permit applications require UDRB review. They can only be approved if they are consistent with the ordinance's criteria. The permit fees are $2 per square foot for the visual media display system and cannot be less than 48,000 per year. And perhaps, most important, each media tower must be accompanied by a development agreement that requires two public hearings and City Commission approval. And of course, we have one on the agenda today. And I would point out to you that that development agreement is not the first development agreement that the City Commission has approved. Miami WorldCenter and the Flagler Dog Track are both examples of previously approved development agreements, and they're appropriate for large projects that are built out over time that require assurances that they can proceed under the existing regulations. This development agreement provides those assurances subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. And by the way, we have discussed with the City Attorney's office that the development agreement on our part will be signed by Maefield after Maefield closes and not by McClatchy, so Maefield will be the only signatory from the landowner standpoint. Here's what the development agreement requires. Phase one requires construction of a media tower and parking garage. The media tower will include two tower structures that will accommodate the LED displays. They are proposed for 250 feet and 350 feet over the parking garage pedestal. These structures will illuminate and enhance this cultural and entertainment destination. They will foster a stronger sense of place and visual identification within the Omni CRA. They will serve as a catalyst to remove blight from the CRA area and improve the safety and aesthetics of this area. City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 6 Printed on 4/29/2015 • They'll bestow a unique regional and national identity to the Miami urban core, provide a landmark for downtown visitors to the Museum Park area, Bayside, and the Bayfront area, and promote the Performing Arts Center by adding illumination and a visual icon. Phase one will also include a 1,600-space parking garage that will be available to serve the patrons of the Performing Arts Center and other members of the public, as well as ultimately the retail center in phase two. The parking garage will also include ground floor retail space and the existing Boulevard Shops will be rehabilitated for functional uses. Phase two of the project to the east is comprised of approximately 300,000 square feet of retail space, and as you heard from Ben, we're hoping to put upscale retailers, food and beverage establishments within this plaza. There will be a -- we hope to have a department store and a movie theater as well. It will be designed around a central plaza, planned to accommodate a trolley that will circulate within the project. And this portion of the project will be designed and must be approved in accordance with your Miami 21 Code, which brings up an important point reflecting something Ben said earlier. This development agreement is the way that you provide the assurances -- that you receive the assurances that we will in fact eliminate those two residential towers that were 645 feet high with 945 dwelling units and 14,000 square feet of retail space. Those uses were expected to generate over 4,500 trips per day. Those get eliminated through the development agreement. The development agreement also requires the developer to abandon the previous approval for the City Square retail project, which is 641,000 square feet in space with a height of 130 feet. That's all in addition to the benefits provided by the parking garage that provides public parking for the area and by the media towers, which will serve as a catalyst to bring the development and activity to this currently slum and blighted area. One last point before I close, the ordnance and the development agreement collectively promote and are consistent with a number of important objectives and policies in your City -- City's Comprehensive Plan and the Omni's CRA plan. And we have a memo in our handout that we're providing you at the end of the presentation that addresses these in detail, but just some highlights. Objective -- Land-Use Objective 1.2 of the City plan says that the City shall promote, facilitate, and catalyze the redevelopment and revitalization of blighted, declining, or threatened residential, commercial and industrial areas through a variety of public, private, and public -private redevelopment initiatives and revitalization programs. The ordinance and development agreement collectively are such a public -private redevelopment initiative. Land Use Policy 1.3.6 says the City will continue to encourage the diversification in the mix of commercial activities through strategic and comprehensive marketing and promotion efforts. This is the promotion of that diversification of commercial activities in this area. And Land Use Policy 1.3.7 requires the City to continue to use its tax increment fmance district and empowerment zone to stimulate economic revitalization and encourage employment opportunities. This project is in the tax increment fmancing district. It is in the empowerment zone, and you are encouraging economic revitalization and employment activities. The Omni's CRA plan specifically provides and requires the redevelopment of the Miami Herald properties and requires that this redevelopment should focus on certain objectives, all of which are consistent with this project. Extending pedestrian access ultimately all the way to Biscayne Bay, supporting the street level of pedestri -- street -level pedestrian activity, providing parking alternatives for the PAC, and the preservation of the historic shrine building, which are the Boulevard Shops. In addition, the CRA's plan says that the design guidelines should make allowances for creative signage and lighting, which contributes to the character of the district as a late -night entertainment destination. That, in a word, is exactly what the media towers do. The approval of this project will result in the redevelopment of the Miami Herald properties in a manner that is consistent with and promotes the principles of the CRA's redevelopment plan. So now I'd like to ask Mark Siffin, from Maefield Holdings, to come to the podium and to provide to you his vision of this area today and his vision of this area and our project for the future. And I'd like to ask finally -- request that Ben and I be recognized to respond to questions that might be raised by the public or by Commissioners. Thank you very much. Chair Sarnoff: You're recognized for the record. Mark Siffin: My name is Mark Siffm, 527 East Toledo. I've been a resident of the Miami area for close to ten years. I've been working on this particular project for approximately half a decade. Since I was first granted by this Commission the unanimous approval for the MUSPs which are in place on the project, which I think my attorney described far better than I could hope to do, I've worked diligently with the community, with the Performing Arts Center, in recognizing their interests, their thoughts and their ideas about how the project could evolve from your initial granting the authority to develop it into the project that's before you today. I've been lucky enough to spend time with the residents and hearing their thoughts and meeting with them one on one, in groups of two and three, seven and eight, twenty and thirty, up to several hundred. Over the course of hearing their thoughts and witnessing their vision, I've sought to incorporate that while addressing things that I've heard you say today as fiduciaries of this community. To create jobs, to create new tax dollars, to improve the quality of life, to generate the kind of vision City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 7 Printed on 4/29/2015 • that I think you are the fiduciaries of and looking after delivering for Miami. I've heard you dealing with fmancial affairs in a very responsible manner, and this project is a combination of all those aspirations to deliver a world -class project in the midst of an urban area that the City will be proud of and that I've been lucky enough to garner the support of the buildings and the residents who reside closest to the project. They granted that support because it affirms their vision of the area and they made the biggest investment that we as citizens make, which is in our domicile. And they did so of their own volition. They did so without asking for compensation. They did so without saying well, a quid quo pro [sic]. How 'bout [sic] we get a couple bucks in return and then we'll come there and say we support you. They came as a part of the process. They came because they saw the vision and the vision was reflective of their involvement in the process. We have an area. We've made a major investment in it. This project is intended to complement the vision while it's intended to deliver millions of dollars of taxes, and as the Chairman said, to affirm that that which is being proffered, that which has been being discussed is that which will be delivered, and it will be delivered in an expeditious manner and it will reflect exactly what we're discussing and nothing else and no change to that which we're discussing. Thank you so much. Chair Sarnoff: Thank you. Is — that's your primary presentation, correct? All right. Let me do this. Would you guys mind just taking down these signs or putting them to the side so we could at least face the public? And let me open it up to a public hearing. Anybody wishing to be heard -- and I'm going to take the public hearing on both items, Madam City Attorney, unless you instruct me otherwise -- on PZ.16 or PZ.17, please step up. State your name, state where you reside, and we'll try to get through this as quick as possible. You're recognized for the record. Fred Frost: Yes, Mr. Chairman. My name is Fred Frost. I'm president of the South Florida AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor -Congress of Industrial Organizations). It's nice to see the Mayor here, Mr. Chairman, and the members of the Commission. You all look very dapper. And I'm not here to sit there and talk to you about anything self-serving. I'm going to talk to you about what you said, Mr. Chairman. I'm talking to you about team because why I'm here is about all the people that are outside without jobs. We know what it's like to be without jobs. And for the first time, we have an opportunity to get 22, 29, maybe even more in what I believe is a culture change in this town of trickling down to the workers to truly uplift this. There is nothing better than to create the middle class in this town. Now before the economic downturn, we all have to remember we had 80 cranes line this skyline. We had more development and resources and capital pour into this community. But at the end of the day, we have a smaller middle class than we did 20, 30 years prior. I've met with developers in my lifetime. I met with Mr. Siffm a couple of years ago, and I'll be quite frank, I met with him in the last year or two, and he's something different. I'm not going to lie to you. I Googled him. I checked him out and I looked him square in the eye, and he's doing the right thing. He came here -- he's going to make a profit. We all know he's going to make a profit, but he's promising good, quality jobs for the local residents here. He came with wanting to sign a contract with working people, a contract with working people that is going to uplift this community so they can buy homes, so they can buy refrigerators, so they can go out to the restaurants. 'Cause you know when you lose a job, it's not just losing a job. It's losing your house. It's losing your healthcare. It's losing your car, and most people move out of here. This is a grand opportunity for us to uplift our community. I've given my nine years of doing this job to do just that. Chair Sarnoff: Mr. Frost, I'm going to try to keep everybody at two minutes. Mr. Frost: And I'm going to quit. I'm just going to tell you this is a grand opportunity. I definitely -- on behalf of the 25,000 members we have in City of Miami, please approve this project. Chair Sarnoff: Thank you. You're recognized for the record, Mr. Kurland. Nathan Kurland: Nathan Kurland, 3132 Day Avenue, Coconut Grove. Come with me now to the days of yesteryear. Most of the people in this room are not old enough to remember, but these are the words that introduced every episode of The Lone Ranger. What we have here is a harking back to times prior to this past year. Quoting yesterday's Miami Herald, Siffm's attorney, Jeffrey Bercow, acknowledged that "It's not often that a private attorney gets to design the public permitting process for a client's project." But he said the proposal is so unusual that it merits special treatment by the City. Let me elaborate on what makes this so unusual. One, it ignores federal, state, county, and municipal law. Two, it completely ignores the special exception permit process. Three, it treats the citizens of Miami as if we're some rubes buying the special elixir. You wish to cure blight in the City of Miami, build advertising. The whole concept of the word "media tower," unfortunately, is something I don't accept. We are City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 8 Printed on 4/29/2015 • talking about building advertising. I am not against creating jobs in the City of Miami. But I do not equate these two towers as being a job opportunity for the -- I mean, it seems to me that the job opportunities besieged us when we built Miami baseball stadium. I don't see those jobs. Three, we've all just come through -- hopefully, it's almost over -- the BP (British Petroleum) spin on the information we get. Originally, it was 12 to 20,000 gallons a day that were spilling into our ocean. And yet, we came to find out when there was an oversight committee that there was, in actuality, 1.2 million gallons of oil spilling into our ocean per day. We have one -- and I'll wrap it up, Mr. Chairman -- engineering company that says all the lights that are being produced by these towers are just fine, and we have another oversight engineering committee that says that this light absolutely affects the quality of life as it produces the light of four full moons. In conclusion, members of the Commission, Mr. Mayor, we need a lone ranger, not a power ranger. Thank you. Chair Samoff: You're recognized for the record, Mr. Cruz. Mariano Cruz: Yes. Mariano Cruz, 1227 Northwest 26th Street. I've been a resident of Miami for the -- since 1962. And first, I am for the new funding sources. That will be a new funding sources. We have to get away from giving all zoning -- all that property, 501(3)(c) [sic], the County, and I can name them because my wife used to work in Jordan Marsh and my son, in high school, he worked at the JC Penney's [sic] in the Omni Mall there. And we used to frequent all the restaurant out there, (UNINTELLIGIBLE), (UNINTELLIGIBLE), (UNINTELLIGIBLE) Grill, the whole thing, Mayfair Theater, where we went to see French movies there, (UNINTELLIGIBLE), the whole thing. We saw that. At the time — and all those places were paying taxes. Jefferson store; now the School Board building. The other one, the Arscht Center doesn't pay any tax. We have to subsidize the Arscht Center, okay. And this will be paying taxes and jobs there, and I like that. Because at the time now that we got to be creative about getting money and stop firing people or laying off people. We got to create — be creative, creative 101, and start doing something about jobs, about things. No. When I used to go there, used to go to Sears, Jordan Marsh, Jefferson -- now I have to go to Pembroke malls (UNINTELLIGIBLE). I use Midtown too, but if I want (UNINTELLIGIBLE) Dolphin Mall, other thing. How come -- like before, you go to Sears, Jordan Marsh, first-class store. Jefferson Discount -- everything was within driving distance from my house, two miles from my house. And now -- well, sure, you want to find a School Board building, right there. Sure. How much taxes that building pay? Nothing. How much the Jefferson store used to pay? A lot of money in taxes. How much Sears used to pay in taxes? A lot of money in taxes. Now the -- no wonder the City is going bankrupt -- Chair Samoff: Thank you. Mr. Cruz: -- because we're not getting any income — Chair Sarnoff: Thank you. Mr. Cruz: -- from all the buildings that are in the City. Chair Sarnoff: Thank you, Mr. Cruz. Commissioner Gort: Mariano, don't forget Northwest 20th Street. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5 - Frank Carollo, Wifredo (Willy) Gort, Marc David Samoff, Francis Suarez and Richard Dunn II 2 City Commission 7/29/10 ADOPTED WITH 1 MODIFICATIONS City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 9 Printed on 4/29/2015 • A motion was made by Francis Suarez, seconded by Richard Dunn H, that this matter be ADOPTED WITH MODIFICATIONS. Chair Sarnoff: Let's move on to SP.3. Mr. Manager, you're recognized. Carlos A. Migoya (City Manager): This is around the media tower. I believe the Mayor is the one that was making the presentation. Chair Samoff: All right. This is the ordinance of the City of Miami creating the media tower, so why don't I let those folk set up. Julie O. Bru (City Attorney): Okay. Mr. Chair, again, just for purposes of procedure, this is the second reading on the ordinance, and then you also have the development agreement that will be the second public hearing and the first time that you take action on it. At the last meeting, you heard commentary and you heard from the public on both items at the same time, and then you had two separate votes on the item, so -- and I leave it up to you to decide if that's how you want to conduct the hearing again today. Chair Samoff: Well, let's open up SP.3, SP.4. If the City is [sic] not oppose it, let's allow the record to reflect on both items. I know we're only -- we only need to vote on the ordinance, correct? Ms. Bru: No, no. Today would be the -- Chair Samoff: On the -- Ms. Bru: -- vote on the development agreement also. Chair Samoff: Okay, understood. Let's open them up both so that the record would be reflected for both issues. They really are hand in glove. And why don't I just recognize the attorney, Mr. Bercow. Jeffrey Bercow: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Commissioners, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Manager, Madam City Attorney. Jeffrey Bercow, with the law firm of Bercow Radell & Femandez, 200 South Biscayne Boulevard. I'm here today representing Maefield Holdings, the proponent of the media towers. I am joined by Mark Siffm and Mae Siffm from Maefield Holdings; Jon Cardello from ADD, our architect; Glen Wiebe, our lighting expert from Daktronics; my partner, Ben Fernandez; and my colleague, Melissa Tapanes-Llahues. I know that there are also a number of supporters of this project who would like to speak as well, but first a few housekeeping matters. I would like to incorporate by reference the record from last week's hearing on PZ.16 and PZ.17 into the record of this hearing. Last week I put a large document into the record and distributed copies to you all. I do want to identify those documents. They included an economic and fiscal impact study prepared by Miami Economics Associates, Inc., letters, resolutions, and petitions in support of the media towers, the lighting study prepared by Daktronics, a copy of our PowerPoint presentation, and a memo regarding consistency of the media towers with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and the Omni CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) plan. I'm also submitting today additional support letters and petitions into the record, with copies to each of you. And as a final housekeeping matter, we will also be placing into the record a disclosure affidavit signed by Mark Siffm of Maefield Holdings, pursuant to your City code, stating that he has reached an agreement with the Venetia Condominium Association that requested and he agreed to assist their efforts to obtain mural signage with financial support. Also at the request of the Mayor, I do want to confirm that the Boulevard Shops will be preserved and restored to their historic grandeur, and that's all part of this program and part of the development agreement. I'd now like to respond to some of the concerns we heard last week regarding legal issues. Chair Samoff: Can I ask a question -- Mr. Bercow: Yes, sir. Chair Sarnoff: -- Mr. Bercow, because -- Mr. Bercow: Yes. Chair Sarnoff -- being the drafter of the disclosure ordinance, I'm trying to understand what it is that you agreed to Submitted into the public City of Miami record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 10 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Mr. Bercow: Correct. That size, height, orientation, spacing prohibitions, locations, types of signs, et cetera. So when we apply the rules of statutory construction to this code provision, we determined that this actually is an example of the concept of occupying the field. And what that means is when the regulatory scheme is so pervasive that it doesn't allow for any other regulations, that it preempts all other regulations. So if a sign is within the protected area, Division 5 is the only County regulation that applies. And if it's the only County regulations that applies in a protected area and the City opts out of Division 5, it follows that the opt -out provision -- with the opt -out provisio . w ounty -- the code is not at all applicable to media towers in Miami in the protected areas.

Madam City Attorney, I want to -- I want you to ensure this Commission that the hold harmless and indemnity provision has a financial backing to it. I'm going to let you do so in your own discretion, but a man's word or an LLC (Limited Liability Company) single purpose company is a concern to me. It should be a concern to you. I want to make sure the hold harmless and indemnity has a fmancial component to it. Julie O. Bru (City Attorney): Okay. So if I'm understanding correctly, you're going to approve the resolution approving the development agreement, but you want the City Attorney to make sure that the indemnification agreement provides for sufficient backing, that it's clear who the entity is that will be indemnifying the City to assure that the City will be able to collect on any indemnification that arises? Chair Sarnoff: Let me add an element to it. It's all on your head, so it better be satisfactory to you and it better not be a single purpose company and it better be some -- it better be an entity and/or guarantor that has the ability to indemnify and hold harmless the City of Miami. Ms. Bru: Okay, so we will do the due diligence. And if we're not able to feel comfortable with that, we will bring it back to you for further consideration. Chair Sarnoff: Thank you. All right, it is a resolution. Do we have a motion? Commissioner Gort: Move it. Chair Sarnoff: We have a motion by Commissioner Gort -- Commissioner Suarez: Second.

I would just ask -- Chair Sarnoff That is my understanding of the motion. Let me see if the maker accepts. It says it is. Commissioner Suarez: Yes. Chair Samoff: Is -- the seconder understand that? Commissioner Dunn: Yes. Chair Sarnoff: Okay. Mr. Bercow: I -- did I -- I think -- well, I meant to say 142, 112 to 142. Is that what I said? Chair Sarnoff: I wrote down 142. Did you not say that?

City Clerk. Page 2 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • A motion was made by Frank Carollo, seconded by Francis Suarez, that this matter be PASSED ON FIRST READING WITH MODIFICATIONS. Chair Gort: Mr. Johnny Martinez, you're recognized. Who's -- item one, the emergency. And one of the reasons we ask, what was the emergency? Johnny Martinez (Assistant City Manager/Chief of Infrastructure): Emergency ordinance number one amends Chapter 2 of the City code by amending Division 6, entitled "Billboards." The proposed amendments are to expand the areas where billboards are not allowed, in addition to the gateway map. There will be a circular area with a radius of 1,500 feet where the center line of southbound I-95 intersects the center line of Coral Way. There will be a 1,500 foot circle where billboards will not be allowed. Also it was determined in the best interest of the City, it allows the City to go to a one-to-one ratio of takedowns to put -ups if determined that it's in the best interest of the City. It also changes the restrictive zoning from T6-8 to T5-O. Chair Gort: Thank you. At this time, since this is a public hearing, what I would like to hear before we hear from the Commission, I'd like to hear from the public, if it's all right with you all? All right. Okay. This is the public item. All those who would like to address the Commission, please step forward. Grace Solares: Good morning, Mr. Commissioners, Mr. Chair. If you would indulge me, please, I will be speaking on behalf of the Roads Association. But there is -- besides the emergency hearing, which is a public hearing, there are two additional that actually go dovetailing these -- Chair Gort: Yes, ma'am. Ms. Solares: -- things. So if you could allow me -- Chair Gort: Sure. Ms. Solares: -- a little bit more. Chair Gort: Sure. Ms. Solares: Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Grace Solares, the Roads Association. Gentlemen, with respect to this emergency motion, I have great concerns with it. I do recognize that there is a radius from a certain portion of the south lane -- bound down to I-95 -- I mean, down to Coral Way, of 1,500 feet. However, within that same emergency motion, on page, I would assume, it's 3 -- it's not numbered — you have item C that says west and east side of I-95 -- of Interstate I-95, between Southwest 1st Avenue and 81 st Street. I want to give you, for purposes of showing you -- Chair Gort: Excuse me, Ms. Solares. Let me interrupt you for a minute. Since we're going to be discussing all of the items, I want to make sure that the public hearing, that we're going to be addressing all three of the items that we have in front of us, okay? Ms. Solares: Thank you so much. Chair Gort: Thank you. Continue. Ms. Solares: Thank you. Let me give you this. Chair Gort: Thank you. Ms. Solares: You see in this section east and west of I-95 from Southwest 1st Avenue to Northwest 81 st Street. You will -- this is the Roads area. You will see there is an east and a west of I-95 in the middle of the Roads area. You will see that 1st Avenue is the avenue which is the perimeters of the Roads area. My question is why is it -- number three still there if you are putting in 1,500 radius from the center of I-95 south, which I would assume is by the 15th Road, and leaving at the same time on C the area included where they can put signs? I mean, it's really, really -- it's counter • to what you're saying in the back. Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. City of Miami Page 3 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • Commissioner Suarez: Mr. Chair. Ms. Solares: Besides, in a resolution that is coming after this, you are going to put the people from -- some recommended people from Outdoor or SFEF to participate in the 1,000 foot radius. If that takes place, then these 1,500 go away 'cause you cannot have an ordinance of a municipality doing something totally different than what the state statutes tell you, so the 1,500 radius will be reduced -- the moment your RE.13, I believe it is, maybe 14, will take effect, if you vote on it, the radius will be reduced. I would like some clarification or for you to get some clarification at whatever time thereafter whether or not that section -- that number 13 on the -- on your proposed -- or number 3(c) on your proposed amendments to be clarified. If it could be actually removed, I would greatly appreciate it because you're giving it to us on one, but you're taking it away on the other. You're passing one thing here and you're taking it away later on on the other one. It is a danger to create laws, which is exactly what is before you right now, which is the ordinance, that could give anybody any interpretation. Make it very clear. Clarity, specificity. So I object to that which -- Vice Chair Carollo: Mr. Chairman. Ms. Solares: -- on that one with -- Vice Chair Carollo: Mr. Chairman. Chair Gort: He has a question. Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: Since there are, I would assume, going to be a lot of issues, is it possible just to address this right now so then later on with all the issues that are going to be coming up, we don't lose one or forget one or so forth. It is possible to address that? Chair Gort: We could do that, but my understanding, the -- suggestion I want to make is make sure that staff writes all the questions and make sure they can answer them all together later on, if you don't mind? Vice Chair Carollo: I'm okay if -- Chair Gort Because we can't be going back and forth all the time. I'm making sure -- she's asking specific questions. I'm sure you're taking notes. You can answer those questions. Vice Chair Carollo: You have trust that the staff will -- Chair Gort: They better. I'm writing it down. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Chair Gort: Commissioner. Commissioner Suarez: I mean, I have proposed language that could solve the problem if you want to hear it? Chair Gort: I beg your pardon? Yes, go ahead. Commissioner Suarez: Okay. I think what she's concemed with is what appears to be an inconsistency between 1(c) and 2(b). Chair Gort: Right. Commissioner Suarez: And what -- the reason why it appears that there's an inconsistency is because 1(c) was part of the ordinance as it now exists and 2(b) is an additional language. So what I would suggest, if it -- if Grace and the • Roads Homeowners Association and district Commissioner agree is that you add the language on C that says "Except as provided below." "Comma, except as provided below, period." In other words, it would say west and east side of Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. City of Miami Page 4 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Interstate 95 and Southwest 1st Avenue and Northwest 81st Street, comma, except as provided below, period." Ms. Solares: Fine. But once you remove the 1,500, once you pass that -- Commissioner Suarez: Right. Ms. Solares: -- where do we go now? Commissioner Suarez: No. I think you -- Ms. Solares: Where are we? Commissioner Suarez: -- have another issue which has to do with -- I think your secondary issue -- and I think that the City Attorney can opine on better than I -- was the resolution that goes to the 1,000 foot versus the 1,500 feet. I think that's your secondary issue. Chair Gort: Mr. Vice Chairman, it seems like you were right; we're going to be doing that then. Commissioner Suarez: I'm sorry. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. Chair Gort: Go ahead, ask -- Vice Chair Carollo: And as a matter of fact -- Commissioner Suarez: I'm sorry. Vice Chair Carollo: -- the issue that you just addressed, that you find a solution, I already had addressed with Warren Bittner. We had a solution for it too and it was similar. I just went down to 2 and said the provision section above, so you went below. So if Grace is okay with that, you know -- and again, I think it's just to make sure that there's no -- Chair Gort: Irregularity. Vice Chair Carollo: -- confusion and there's better clarity. Chair Gort: Right. Okay. Ms. Solares: Okay. So that -- Vice Chair Carollo: You have -- Ms. Solares: -- will be addressed then later? Chair Gort: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: No. Well, as far as that -- either the way Commissioner Suarez said as far as putting some type of clause mentioning the number 2 below or the way I was going to write it was that number 2, stating "notwithstanding any provision in subsection one above," then we continue. And if you're okay with that? Chair Gort: Mr. Bittner, I want to make sure that you have this and you're going to address it later on also, the request by the Commissioners? Warren Bittner (Deputy City Attorney): Yeah, I do have that. Mr. Chairman, I would prefer Commissioner Carollo's suggestion.

We're not hearing. The microphone, is it on or — Mr. Bittner: It's on, yeah. Ms. Thompson: -- can you speak --? Okay, thank you. Mr. Bittner: Mr. Chairman, I would prefer Commissioner Carollo's proposal as opposed to Commissioner Suarez on that one. Commissioner Suarez: Of course you would; you wrote it. Chair Gort Okay. Well -- Vice Chair Carollo: I go to the attorney, man. Chair Gort: Listen, he's the accountant and attorney. Fine. But I want to make sure we address it later on. Yes, ma'am. Ms. Solares: Mr. Chair, I'd like to ask then, if he's saying that, once you pass, if you pass, the resolution with respect to the recommendation to the thousand feet pilot program, where would the radius fall down to? 'Cause you cannot have the 1,500 radius if the -- if they fall within the 1,000 square feet of being able to put, where will the radius then fall down to? Mr. Bittner: In my judgment, we're comparing apples and oranges right there. The 1,000 foot pilot program is for spacing along state roads and interstate highways. The 1,500 foot radius as -- is a restricted area where you can't put anything -- Ms. Solares: Okay. Mr. Bittner: -- like a gateway. Ms. Solares: Okay. So I'm supposed to trust you on that one? Okay. Thank you, sir. Chair Gort: Whatever question -- Vice Chair Carollo: It's on the record. Chair Gort: -- I got to assure you, whatever question comes up in here, it's going to be addressed by them and it's going to be addressed by us also. Ms. Solares: Okay. With respect, sir, to the 1,000 feet program it is said that's going to be in benefit -- beneficial for the people of Miami because it will make less -- it will produce less billboards. In Mr. Echemendia's deposition, he was asked question: "But it is contemplated that some of the seven permits could be used on sites which had 1,000 foot spacing under the pilot program?" He said, "That is conceivable. Yes. I knew" -- he goes below — "that the 1,000 foot space would provide more locations." So if it's in his own words that you're giving him the opportunity to be part of the 1,000 foot pilot program, you will have more proliferations of billboards in this City if you -- I see you saying no, sir. But with his own words, in his own deposition, he's looking for billboards because you are -- Chair Gort: Right. Ms. Solares: -- reducing the space within which you'll be able to put the billboards. Commissioner Suarez: Mr. Chairman. City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 6 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Ms. Solares: So -- Chair Gort: Thank God, that gentleman doesn't work for the City of Miami, so that's fine. Go ahead. Ms. Solares: What was that? Chair Gort: That gentleman does not work for the City of Miami, so -- Ms. Solares: Okay. Well -- Chair Gort: -- whatever he says, he can say whatever he wants. Ms. Solares: -- this is the gentleman who's getting the agreement from you. Commissioner Suarez: Mr. Chairman. Chair Gort: Yes. Ms. Solares: I know with respect to -- Commissioner Suarez: Okay. Chair Gort: Excuse me. Ms. Solares: -- then the -- Chair Gort: I have attorney who wants to ask you a question. Commissioner Suarez: No. I just -- I have a disagreement with the statement that she just made. The way I view it — and maybe the City Attorney can opine on it -- is by reducing the foot limitation along the highways, it would allow for more eligible locations along the highways. If you look at the ordinance as before us, the ordinance reduces the number of billboards in neighborhoods. So what you're essentially saying is we're taking down a billboard, we're taking it out of a neighborhood or facing a neighborhood and we're putting it along a highway. To put it along a highway, you need to have more eligible spaces along the highway. Ms. Solares: Right. Commissioner Suarez: So I have to correct that record. Because it's actually -- there's been statements made, and I've received e-mails (electronic), that the proposed ordinance proposes to increase the number of billboards in the neighborhoods and it does exactly the opposite and that has to be clarified. And if I have to go through the sections of the ordinance that it, I will. I have no problem doing that. So what the ordi -- what the proposed ordinance does is that it says we will reduce from a two -to -one ratio -- two -to -one takedown ratio to one-to-one takedown ratio if that billboard that's being taken down comes from or faces a neighborhood. So it is actually reducing the number of billboards that are in or face a neighborhood, and that has to be fairly clarified. Now to move a billboard from a neighborhood, it has to be moved somewhere. That's eligible. And the only eligible place that's palatable is by the highways. Ms. Solares: Right. Commissioner Suarez: So that's why the spacing requirement has to be, my understanding -- Ms. Solares: My -- Commissioner Suarez: -- of what -- City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 7 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Ms. Solares: -- statement -- Commissioner Suarez: -- that's what I was told. Ms. Solares: Commissioner, my state -- Chair Gort: Thank you. Commissioner Suarez: Am I correct? Am I incorrect? Chair Gort: Vice Chairman. Mr. Bittner: You're correct, Commissioner. Chair Gort Vice Chairman. Vice Chair Carollo: Mr. Chairman. Chair Gort: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. I don't disagree with what Commissioner Suarez is saying. I actually agree with you. However, the definition of neighborhood is very different from what I think the average person's defmition of neighborhood is. As a matter of fact, one of the locations that is considered for takedown, we took pictures of it so you see if that is considered a neighborhood. According to the language here, it's considered a neighborhood. However, I think the average person out there will not consider that a neighborhood. They don't consider it, you know, a business section or a busy street or so forth, so it's a little deceiving. Because although you're correct, the definition of neighborhood, again, is not what the average person's defmition is, and we could probably get into that now or later or so forth. So that's the only issue. It's a little deceiving 'cause it seems like oh, well, we're taking them out of the neighborhoods where it's not going to be, you know, a burden to the actual neighbors and so forth, neighborhoods like, let's say, Bay Heights, Shenandoah, Silver Bluff, but no. In essence, if you really read what the definition within this settlement of neighborhood is, in all reality, it seems like just about any sign that is not near a highway is a neighborhood. So -- Chair Gort: Gentlemen -- Vice Chair Carollo: -- I just want to clarify that. Chair Gort — let me go to the suggestion once again. Let's hear all the questions. Let's make sure staff writes all the questions. Make sure we write all the questions. And we're going to have a lot of debate afterwards ourselves. So could you please finish, Ms. Solares? Thank you. Ms. Solares: Thank you, sir. Now with reference to RE.13, is that the settlement agreement? Okay, thanks. As you know, Mr. Echemendia filed a lawsuit, which he lost, and Judge Ungaro said in sum, none of SFES [sic] claims are (UNINTELLIGIBLE) 9:52:27, means that he didn't have a basis to have filed. So the only reason why -- and this I'm going by his deposition -- that he filed a lawsuit against the City was at the recommendations of the City Attorney because he had purchased the rights to a board called Boardwalks, and that Boardwalks since 2001 had code violations. He assumed that by going before the code violation board or the general master of the board, he was going to be able to actually settle not only the Code enforcement violations by a mitigation process, but he also thought he was going to be able to utilize that vehicle in order to get into a settlement with the City of Miami and get what is before you today. He met with Pete Hernandez and Pieter Bockweg. They said, oh, yeah, you have two that you're taking down, Boardwalk and the Hampton Inn. And that sound like it's good. But then they went to the City Attorney and the City Attorney said, no. Sue us. Sue us. It was an invitation from the City Attorney for these people to sue the City. He didn't have a basis. Judge Ungaro says he didn't have a basis. But that is the way this settlement agreement is now before you, on what I would assume is a sham settle [sic] agreement because -- a sham of City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 8 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • a lawsuit pursuant to Judge Ungaro. I believe the appeal they have filed with the court of appeals is equally as (UNINTELLIGIBLE) 9:54:12. I ask you -- I wrote you an e-mail and I sent it to each one of you, that I thought this was extortion and blackmail. If you abdicate your abilities as elected officials to cave in to an entity or an individual or two or three individuals that are blackmailing the City under any basis, you're going to be opening this City and therefore the resources of the taxpayers of this City to future extortionists and blackmailers that they say to you if you don't do this for me, I will do this against you. So I please ask you, Commissioners, to be very careful what you approve. And also in his settlement agreement, his indemnification agreement in here, which is on page 3, is quite problematical because they say that they are indemnifying the City with respect to CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System), only CBS, coming after you for any claims that may arise as a result of this City. I suggest that you include here any and all individuals, entities, companies, anything that comes after the City, they will all in be in not just SFEF alone 'cause SFEF is a corporation. It doesn't have a dime. It doesn't have to pay you a dime. But the individuals here, personally, should be liable. Chair Gort: Thank you. Ms. Solares: Thank you so much. Chair Gort: Thank you. Next. Commissioner Suarez: Grace, what page was that indemnification on? I didn't catch it. Commissioner Samoff: Mr. Chair. Chair Gort: Yes. Ms. Solares: What was that? Commissioner Suarez: What page was the indemnification? Commissioner Sarnoff: I think I could respond -- Ms. Solares: Twenty-three. Commissioner Samoff: — to you for that. Commissioner Suarez: Okay. Commissioner Sarnoff: 'Cause I actually -- Commissioner Suarez: Oh, 23. Ms. Solares: Twenty-three, I think. Commissioner Suarez: I heard — Commissioner Samoff: You want to work on that right now. Is it all right, Mr. Chair? Chair Gort: Go right ahead. Commissioner Samoff: It's section 15(e), indemnification. If you just change it from -- it presently says SFEF and you add "and the joining parties" 'cause joining parties are defined in the agreement. And it would be not just brought by CBS. It should be by any party who may have any claims. So if you go to 15(e) of the agreement and again -- • Vice Chair Carollo: Page 22. Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. City of Miami Page 9 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Commissioner Suarez: Twenty-two. Commissioner Sarnoff: Right. -- and you look at SFEF and add the language "and the joining parties," and then Commissioner Suarez can verify joining parties is a defined term in the agreement. If you come down just two sentences where you see the word CBS, line through CBS, and it should be brought by any party who may have any claims. Then if you go to 18(0) of the agreement, and there you'll see a second indemnify and hold harmless. And if you just go down one, two, three, four, five sentences, and you'll see where it starts with consequently, and you'll see it says "consequently, SFEF" -- and if you just add the language -- "and the joining parties" and then it takes off with "agrees." Go down one more sentence and you'll see where it says "shall defend with counsel designated by SFEF" and then you add "and the joining parties." That covers the issues that the Roads Association has brought up. Chair Gort: Okay. Vice Chair Carollo: Mr. Chairman. Chair Gort: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: Just real quick. I'm not saying that I'm going to be in favor of the settlement once we come to a vote. But already I can say we're making it a much better ordinance and a much better settlement. So already, it's paid off that we took a little extra time -- Commissioner Suarez: Absolutely. Vice Chair Carollo: -- to review this, so thank you. Chair Gort: That always helps. Yes, sir. Nathan Kurland: Nathan Kurland, 3132 Day Avenue. Good morning, Commissioners. Good morning, citizens of Miami. When thinking about today, I've had a hard time in my mind to decide where to begin. On this discussion we have a Commissioner who's called what's taking place blackmail and extortion, and we have another Commissioner who's called it leverage. Politically wealthy -- politically connected wealthy people have always had influence everywhere since the beginning of time. Usually, they kept it a little on the quiet side. I'd like to thank Chuck Rabin, but in Patricia Mazzei -- I've been a newspaper reader all of my life -- for the article that they wrote yesterday regarding billboards because oftentimes we don't actually get to know the story here, and this story embarrasses me. And the point I want to make today is about precedent. We have a state government right now where there is no sunshine law, none. You're under sunshine. Every board here in the City of Miami's under sunshine and, yet, we have a state government where now it's become practice where state representatives can actually say to the paper yes, a number of influential individuals have pushed this provision of the bill which will penalize and punish the City of Miami if they don't go along with it. This is a bad precedent. Because when people begin to feel that it's okay for people to do things like this, then it becomes the rule of -- then it really becomes what you expect our government to do. This is wrong. This is incorrect. We have a state representative -- I mean a representative today -- a state representative today on the front page of the paper who says, "Yeah, I haven't lived in my own district for nine months, but when we were consider kids, we used to go 'take back, take back.'" And he says okay, take it back. I'll move next week. We have a state rep -- a U.S. representative who listed on his application jobs that he supposedly was receiving money from. Well, it was found out that he didn't have those jobs, and he said "take back, take back. I really didn't earn money from that. I eamed money from something else." And people -- and the people watching over, the ones who were supposed to oversee these ethics are the same people doing the very same thing. Is this going to be okay? You're faced with a very difficult decision today. I'm not opposed to the City of Miami trying to make money and stuff back up, you know, our bleeding condition, but I'm also not in favor of setting a precedent where we can be penalized for doing the right thing if it happens to be the right thing. Blackmail, extortion, the rights of a few to make money as opposed to the rights of the citizens to have quality of life, this is not a good precedent to set, and that's the one you're going to be setting today. Thank you. Chair Gort: Thank you. Anyone else? Anyone else? Please, whoever want to speak, line up. Yes, ma'am. City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 10 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • Linda Caroll: Good morning. My name is Linda Caro11. I'm an attorney, and I represent Andres Monsalve. Mr. Monsalve doesn't have a lot of money, doesn't have any friends or influential people in Tallahassee, and therefore, he's probably one of the -- among the millions of people who usually don't get heard. And I appreciate the time that you give to me this morning. Mr. Monsalve owns the property at the intersection of Southwest 17th Road and Coral Way. Now that property has a three-story commercial building on it. It rises and it overlooks and fronts onto the southbound lane of I-95. That may not -- you may not be able to picture it so much as if I put the words that's where the famous Hampton Inn sign was that you've heard so much about. I've sent letters to you all a couple of months ago. I -- explaining in some detail the fact that my client never authorized the inclusion of his property in any prior settlement agreement with anyone. In 2008, however, despite the fact that my client owned the property, despite the fact that the City ordinance always said you have to have the property owner's approval, my client's property at the doing, the specific doing and fraudulent representations by Santiago Echemendia, my client's property got put into a settlement agreement. My client went through litigation before FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation). Again, Mr. Echemendia made false representations to FDOT with regard to "I have this permit for this property," except for the fact that there's a certification that's supposed to be on the permit transfer that says I have the property owner's approval. Nobody would listen to him. Again, he's one of the millions that people don't seem to want to listen to unless, of course, you have influence. Now, my client wouldn't settle with Mr. Echemendia's other company. I guess the one -- the SFEF 'cause before, he was trading under Outlook Media. He wouldn't settle with him when we were back here back in -- end of February. My client has been trying to get back to where he was in mid-2008. He just wanted to have his property, pay his taxes, and have a sign on his building, not a freestanding monopole. He just wanted to have this little sign on his building that he's had since his family bought the property in 1989, but again, nobody's listening to him. And in fact, after that hearing, at the end of February when Commissioner Carollo was not going to be bullied and pushed around -- and I thank you, Commissioner -- my client made another application to the City for his little bill -- for a permit for his little billboard on that building because — everybody talks about Hampton Inn came down, the content that said Hampton Inn came down, but that wasn't the removal of a billboard. My clients had that structure on that wall going back years, but nobody's listening to him. He has today an application pending and nobody's listening to him. The department that's charged with the responsibility of approving or denying a permit application -- it's been over 30 days; not one word has been heard. But now, since we were here I guess a week ago, we now -- or maybe -- last week. We had an amendment proposed that's under your consideration now to put this radius -- and magically, what is this radius? It's the centerline of I-95, south bound lane, and the centerline off Coral Way. So if -- you know, you drill a hole for I-95 down to Coral Way, guess what's abutting that hole? My client's property. So again, if you pass this as an emergency ordinance, which, for the life of me, I don't know what the emergency is -- to justify the procedures, so we object on that ground. But getting over the procedural posture, how can this Commission for the second time in two years take my client's property rights? Just because he's a little person and doesn't have influence in Tallahassee, he would request that you pay attention to his rights. Outlook Media, South Florida whatever they call it, they never had a permit. They never had a right. They don't own land that upon which you could even have an outdoor advertising sign. My client's not looking for a big structure or a monopole. He wants to have his little sign on his building, but nobody will listen to him. It's not right. It's not fair. It's not constitutional. And if you pass it, which I really suggest and hope that you don't do because -- please, listen to a resident who's been paying taxes all along. When did Outlook Media pay a dime of taxes? When did SFEF pay a dime of taxes? When did either of those two companies even pay attention to the people around that location? They haven't. Chair Gort: Thank you, ma'am. Ms. Carroll: Thank you very much. Chair Gort: Thank you. Commissioner Samoff: Mr. Chair. Chair Gort: Yes. III Commissioner Samoff: Mr. Bittner, as long as Monsalve's come up, explain do you have to have an FDOT tag before you can put a billboard up? Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. City of Miami Page 11 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Mr. Bittner: At that location, yes, you would. Commissioner Sarnof : Do they have an FDOT tag? Mr. Bittner. Not that I'm aware of at this time. Conunissioner Samofl: So if they don't have an FDOT tag, what is their --? Everyone in the City of Miami, in order to put something up next to the Interstate, must have an FDOT-approved permanent and tag, correct? Mr. Bittner: Unless it is not facing the interstate highway. Commissioner Samoff: And' believe that was conceded by Ms. Caroll to be facing the interstate highway? Mr. Bittner: I heard her say that too. Commissioner Sarnof All right. So I'm trying to understand, if she doesn't even have a tag, what entitlement does she have to put a billboard up there? Mr. Bittner: Well, I believe she has none. And in addition to that, the ordinance as it exists right this very second before you amend it excluded gateways and this property is within the Coral Way gateway. So as it even stands right now, a sign cannot be erected at that location. Chair Gort: Commissioner, let me continue my suggestions. Let's write down all those questions and answer them later. Let's hear the public hearing. We'11 close the public hearing and we'll have those questions. Ms. Carroll: May I please -- Chair Gort: Thank you. Ms. Carroll: -- just respond because misinformation is being given. Chair Gort: Two minutes, ma'am. Ms. Carroll: My client's property is already in a settlement agreement that the Commission gave to -- gave my client's property away. That's number one. Number two, my client's property had a tag. Chair Gort: Okay. Ms. Carroll: That tag was fraudulently taken away by Mr. Echemendia's lies or his company's lies on a permit application. And three, the City of Miami Zoning administrator, back in 2008, joined with Mr. Echemendia in preventing my client from getting the permit that he was applying for at that time with FDOT. Chair Gort: Okay. Thank you, ma'am. Ms. Carroll: Thank you. Chair Gort: Anyone else? Anyone else? Thomas Julin: Good morning. I'm Tom Julin of Hunton & Williams. I reside at 808 Brickell Key Drive. I have not previously registered as a lobbyist. I wanted to disclose that at the outset. I filled the papers this morning with the Clerk and spoke to the City Attomey about that. I'm the counsel for South Florida Equitable Fund in the litigation that is the subject of the settlement that we are discussing. And I client asked that I address the Commission in order to protect its rights. I understand there's an issue, thou. h, with respect to whether the Commission would allow me to do that because of the lobbyist registration issue, and I just raised that with you initially. City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 12 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Commissioner Samoff: Mr. Chair. Chair Gort: Yes. Commissioner Samoff: Is there a pending appeal, Mr. Bittner? Mr. Bittner: Yes, Commissioner, there's a pending appeal. Commissioner Samoff: Can he discuss as an attorney his side of the litigation? Mr. Bittner: I see no reason why he shouldn't, although I would counsel you all to be careful of what you say. Chair Gort: Not to say anything. Commissioner Samoff: Okay. Ms. Thompson: And if I might, Chair. Chair Gort: Yes. Ms. Thompson: And I apologize because the ordinance says that they must register and they must have their certificate. So what we've done in the past, having the attorney speak, the Commission has decided or determined whether or not they would let that continue for the record, so if we can make sure that's clear on the record. Chair Gort: Okay. Commissioner Samoff: Are you suggesting -- I'm sorry, Mr. Chair. Is that all right? Chair Gort: Yeah, go right ahead. Commissioner Samoff: Are you suggesting that we do a motion --? Ms. Thompson: No. We've not done a motion in the past. You just made a statement saying that taking into consideration the facts with the understanding that at -- you know, within a certain period of time, he meets the requirements for the -- registering as a lobbyist and bringing in a certificate. Chair Gort: Does he meet the requirements? Vice Chair Carollo: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) 10:11:52 ordinance. Mr. Bittner: We have allowed that in the past. He has already indicated he's going to take the course at the earliest possible opportunity. We've permitted that courtesy to attorneys in the past. Chair Gort: All right. What's the wish of the Commission? Commissioner Samoff: I want to hear what he has to say about their legal rights. Chair Gort: Okay. Ms. Thompson: Thank you. Chair Gort: Go right ahead. Mr. Julin: Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission. This -- the lawsuit that was filed, as you City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 13 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • know, was filed not because my client wanted to file the lawsuit. We felt that we needed to file the lawsuit in order to have a settlement agreement with the City. That was the genesis of the case, as Ms. Solares points out. We certainly had hoped not to get into litigation. We hope not to have to pursue this as far as it was pursued, and we hope not to have to pursue the appeal that is currently under way. We would like to have a settlement agreement as other outdoor advertising companies have with the City and we hope that's what we achieve today. We think that the settlement agreement that has been negotiated is a good and fair settlement that will result in substantial revenues obviously to the City, something in the neighborhood of a million dollars here in fees. There is a provision in the proposed settlement agreement that I'd like to point out should not be there, and that is there are statements that are made in the settlement agreement with respect to a sign that has been acquired from Clear Channel Outdoor. We had hoped that Clear Channel Outdoor would sell the sign. That's why it's in the draft. It's been in many different drafts all along. And there were extensive negotiations with Clear Channel Outdoor about acquiring that sign, but that sign has not been acquired. Clear Channel has advised us that it will not go through with the sale of that sign and so that should not be a part of this settlement agreement. I just wanted to make that clear, that that should not be a part of this agreement. The settlement offers many, we think, benefits to the City. Obviously, the City has included in this draft settlement agreement a provision which provides that the settlement is not effective if the Legislature passes the bill that is pending there that would limit the fees that the City can impose on all types of signs in the City. That was something that was put in at this request of the City, and it would give our -- my client obviously a great incentive to oppose that legislation. It's been characterized in lots of different ways, blackmail and extortion and so forth, but the fact of the matter is that this is simply a provision in the settlement agreement that gives a strong incentive to our client to oppose that legislation. That's all that this really is. And then as far as the lawsuit itself, there's been some characterization of the lawsuit as a sham, and I just wanted to respond briefly to that, and then answer any questions that you might have about the lawsuit or the settlement agreement. The lawsuit, we felt, brought very serious first amendment claims. As you know, it raised equal protection issues, it raised vagueness issues, and it raised other issues about the ordinances that were in place. The City in fact responded to the lawsuit by amending some aspects of the ordinance that were in place, I think, because of concern that there was validity to the lawsuit that was filed. The ruling by the judge is not a ruling on the merits of the claim. The ruling is simply saying that there wasn't enough that was done in order to get a final ruling from the City Commission. That's a major part of the ruling of the Court, and she does not address the merits of the claim. So in the -- in resolving this matter, this would avoid any further litigation over the merits of the ordinances that are now in place. It certainly would avoid the appeal. And we think again that the settlement would be a very good one that results in substantial revenues for the City and gives my client every reason to oppose the legislation that is pending in Tallahassee. If there are any questions, I'll be glad to answer them about the status of the litigation or the settlement. Chair Gort: Thank you, sir. Anyone else? Glenn Smith: Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission. I'm Glenn Smith. I represent CBS Outdoor. My address is 200 East Broward Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301. We would like to go on record as opposing this settlement. We're not here to say to the City or take a position the City shouldn't try to settle litigation when it's to their best interest. However, we think this one goes far beyond what's right and affects a lot of people. First of all, there is no legal emergency for this ordinance. I just want to go on record for that. If you look under state law or local law, your own local ordinances, your own charter, this does not qualify. Going beyond that, though, keep in mind CBS Outdoor has a settlement agreement with you. CBS has owned an inventory of signs which have been in existence since the '60s. They are not a Johnny Come Lately who goes out and buys an illegal board work sign, such as Outlook did, which the City has already determined is an illegal sign, and then use that to provide a springboard leverage, if you will, to seek a settlement agreement with you today for nine new signs on the expressway. They don't have an inventory. They're going to furnish takedowns from an after -acquired signs. Now go back to CBS. CBS has paid this City S2.6 million already and that's growing. They will pay the City far in excess of the million one that SFEF might pay sometime in the future. They've already paid more and will pay more. Now here's -- keep this in mind. The million one that's in the agreement, SFEF may be illusory. CBS will pay you money on your settlement agreement with CBS depending on how many locations it's able to acquire, same with SFEF, but there are only a very limited number of locations on expressways because of the gateways and other restrictions you have put in the agreements. There are only a limited number of signs. So if CBS gives a location that SFEF doesn't, that just means SFEF pays less money and vice versa. Now we're not here to say that you shouldn't approve SFEF's agreement because -- to stifle competition. CBS competes with major international corporations everyday around the world. We're not afraid of that. All we ask of you is to have a level playing field. The CBS agreement says the takedowns City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 14 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • are two -for -one and the fees, of course, are much larger. But let's focus on the two -for -one. The agreement you're being asked to approve says no -- one -for -one. Now that gives SFEF a great competitive advantage against CBS. I won't even speak for Clear Channel. They'll speak for themselves. But Clear Channel has a two -for -one requirement also. Why should the playing -- the rules of the game be different for this applicant, for this person seeking a settlement? Let me also tell you very briefly another story. In -- we were here before you, I think, on March 2, and then again, I think, a week later on the issue of whether to approve the Sevennine's location. And I informed you at that time that Outlook, SFEF, and CBS had been in mediation the day before and had reached the terms of an agreement to make into a global settlement involving the City to get rid of all the number of cases and appeals that are pending, that all of it would go away and the City would be out from under this burden, CBS would, everybody would, and a deal was made. And the deal was SFEF -- I have trouble with that acronym -- would get four locations, four. We had a deal. A deal was in place. Four locations. City staff approved that. Everybody approved that. What happened was you, in your judgment, felt that Sevennine should not be one of those locations, so that sent us back to the drawing board because that took away one of the four. So we started negotiations, the City, SFEF, and CBS, to try to come up with that fourth location. So we were talking. Everybody's engaged in that. Then all of a sudden everything goes dark. CBS cannot get anything from the City about what's going on. Certainly can't get anything from our competitor, SFEF, and so, for a number of weeks, nothing happens. Then all of a sudden -- now, let me back up. The four that SFEF was going to get was a two -for -one requirement. CBS and Clear Channel were going to participate to make that happen so they have the takedown sort. Then all of a sudden -- going back now -- the City's gone dark. Everybody's gone dark. Now there's a new deal. Nine locations, nine, four to nine for the same applicant who owns one illegal sign in the City. Now it's nine and it's one -for -one. We don't understand why that's happening. Just make the level playing field, everybody. What we're hearing is this applicant is saying, you know, if you give me nine, I'll make this legislation go away in Tallahassee. I don't know what your lobbyists are telling you. I guess you're going to discuss that later. All I'm saying is okay. If you want to settle, we understand you want to settle. We think it should be a global settlement. We've said that from day one. Get rid of everything that's pending, and the rules should be the same. The rules should be the same for everybody. Thanks for your time. Chair GortThank you. Commissioner Suarez: I have a question. Chair Gort: Anyone else? Let -- Commissioner Suarez: I have a question for him. Chair Gort: There's a question for you. Commissioner Suarez: Just a question. Mr. Smith: Yes, sir. Commissioner Suarez: I'm assuming you have lobbyists as well in your company. Mr. Smith: Yes, sir. Commissioner Suarez: Okay. What are your lobbyists telling you about the bill in Tallahassee, just out of curiosity? I'm just curious. Mr. Smith: I don't know that information. I'd have to ask my client.

I don't care. No. I care about City of Miami. And I think if you let this law go on, you -- someone else is going to be like (UNINTELLIGIBLE) 10:24:59 and then going to force you guys to do the same thing with them 'cause you let them once like do the same thing.

Thank you. Chair Gort: Thank you, ma'am. Yes, sir. Mr. Smith: I'm sorry. Chair Gort: No. You get to answer. Mr. Smith: Just to answer the Commissioner's question, obviously, there's no certainty in life, and particularly in Tallahassee, but CBS believes the bill can be stopped. That's -- Commissioner Samoff: Would CBS be willing to indemnify us for the amount of money we would lose? Mr. Smith: No. Chair Gort: That was quick. Commissioner Samoff: Let me ask you -- Mr. Chair. Chair Gort: Yes. Commissioner Samoff: You indicated that you've paid the City $2.6 million -- Mr. Smith: Yes, sir. Commissioner Sarnoff: — Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith: Yes, sir.

I believe that it's like a bully trying to threaten you. This is a guy who steals your lunch money and now you're settling to get half back. First they threaten to sue and that didn't work, and now they're resorting to threatening to passing law in Tallahassee. I believe this is wrong, and I'm just against it, and I believe that we can do better than that. So I just want to make that statement. City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 17 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Chair Gort: Thank you. Mr. Robinson: Thank you. Chair Gort: Thank you for coming forward. Anyone else? Anyone else? Being none, close the public hearing. Comments. Vice Chairman. Vice Chair Carollo: I'm probably not going to say everything that I have to say in this first round, but I do want to begin the same way that I began in the last meeting, which is I remember about a year and a half ago all this talk about transparency, transparency, and one of the reasons that I ran was to have more transparency in the government. And I think that what has occurred here has begun to be reported. I thank the Herald. I think the TV (Television) channels. Because the truth of the matter is we're starting to see realistically what's happening and how government works or appears to work. Again, I have a question. Mr. Assistant City Manager, why is this an emergency? Mr. Martinez: I'm going to speak about the ordinance of why it's an emergency, but I have to put in the context of a settlement. The Administration believes that the settlement that will be before you later is fair and in the best interest of the City. It releases the City from liability and claims made stronger by the Commission a little earlier. It resolves pending litigation. It waives on rights against the City. And it resolves Code enforcement proceedings. And it brings a million dollars of permit fees to the City. However, although I think the phrase "the sky is falling," I don't believe the sky is falling. I do believe it's cloudy and gray. And on a parallel course, we have the pending litigation and we also have the legislative -- proposed legislation that's going on a parallel course to the things that we're doing today. I -- we can't predict the outcome of what's going to happen in the Legislature. We can't predict the outcome of the settlement. From a business perspective, I think it's prudent to at least consider those things that are happening in that parallel course, and I believe that the timing -- that the settlement is fair and it's good, but the timing has to be -- coincide with the ordinance. If the ordinance takes its normal course -- first reading, 30 day second reading -- the legislation would have already passed, which we can't predict the outcome. So I believe it's an emergency from a business standpoint for the City. Vice Chair Carollo: Second time around was a lot better, huh? Chair Gort: Have practice. Mr. Martinez: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. Anyways, with that said, I understand that we need to amend our ordinance in order for -- to be in agreement with the proposed settlement. However, why are we not going through the normal course, the 30 days? I know you mentioned it. Say it again. Because the truth of the matter is, let's say we do this and it passes through the Legislature. What makes us think that if we actually settle, it's going to die in the Legislature and it's not going to pass? Mr. Martinez: We have a provision on the last page of the settlement that if the legislation doesn't go away, the settlement is null and void. Vice Chair Carollo: Right. But my question is -- I understand that. However, my question is what's the hurry of settling? Because in all fairness, if it goes after the legislation, then there's no big deal. If it goes beforehand, they could still pass the legislation, right? It seems like we're -- it seems like we are hurrying up before this year's session fmishes. Is there a reason for that? Mr. Martinez: I think the reason is the session ends May 6. If we take the 30 days from -- assuming that the ordinance passes today on first reading, 30 days from today goes beyond the May 6 legislation, and we don't know what the outcome is going to be. And I just think that if we look at the settlement on the basis of itself, it's a good settlement, but we need to consider the effects of what happens in the Legislature as it affects the City.

Madeline Valdes (Director, Public Facilities): Thank you. Chair Gort: Is this the one you were going to defer? And Commissioner, you had a question. Vice Chair Carollo: Yes. Let's go back to this a little bit because I'm not seeing the reason why there should be a deferral. This is -- this came from quite a few hours. I think it was over seven hours of this Commission deliberating and actually coining up with something that was actually better for the neighbors — better for the neighborhoods. It was -- and we all took part of it. Commissioner Samoff, you mentioned as far as an applicant for a billboard must show proof that they either own the location site or that they have the right to the lease and so forth. I thought it was very good, you know -- it was excellent participation from all of us. And at the same time, it was great for the neighborhoods and so forth. And for us to defer this indefmitely, I think there needs to be an explanation. And I'll go a step further; I think it needs to be a very good explanation. Johnny Martinez (Assistant City Manager/Chief of Infrastructure): Mr. Chair. Chair Gort: Yes, sir. Mr. Martinez: I'll give it a try and a very good explanation. Parallel to when we passed our ordinance on first reading with some amendments, the County was also passing their billboard ordinance or sign ordinance. They passed on first reading. It's going to their committee in June, mid -June, and then after that it have to wait 30 days and it goes to second reading. Between committee and second reading, there could be changes for the opt -out ordinance which allows municipalities to regulate themselves without the County criteria. So I just thought it was a good business decision to propose postponing this 'til all the comments are made at committee, by the County, and then fmally at second reading in front of the Commission. And if we have to make any adaptations or bring forward to this Commission any changes that we would recommend, do it all at once. It was my logic. Vice Chair Carollo: Mr. Chairman. Chair Gort: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: First of all, what the County is going to pass, I don't think affects this at all. And if it does, it's going to affect our whole ordinance, so I don't see why we just don't make our ordinance better and then see what happens with the County. As a matter of fact, I know there's been hundreds of thousands of dollars that we have approved subject to what the County does. And let me ask you -- I mean, in all fairness, let me just say this is really an irony because for, I don't know, my whole year and a half here, it seems like so many stuff is rammed down our throat that we have to pass and we have to pass, and for the first time, something that's good for the neighborhoods, oh, no. You know what, we could take it slow now. Let's see what the County does and then, you know, we could act on it. I don't think it's right. I think, you know, after seven and a half hours of this Commission deliberating, of all putting our little part, you know, into this ordinance to make it better, to protect our neighborhoods, now to, you know, defer it indefmite -- and again, you know, I welcome the City Attorney's office to chime in if really what they pass on second reading is going to affect us that much. And if it does, if it does, wouldn't it affect our original ordinance anyways? Commissioner Sarnoff: Mr. Chair. Chair Gort: Yes. Commissioner Sarnoff: Isn't this the discussion that we had, Madam City Attorney, where you had said none of the County's sign ordinance applies to us? Julie O. Bru (City Attorney): That's the position that we've taken. Commissioner Samoff: Right. And that's the position you continue to maintain?

I think there's three things that appear to be at issue here with reference to this ordinance. The first is what is, by many, a conflict between the way we interpret the County code and the way others interpret the County code, and I think that will be resolved or may be resolved, depending on what the County Commission does in the next month or two. The second issue has to do with our discussion and our improvement of this ordinance based on all the series of discussions regarding another billboard agreement. And the third issue has to do with what I consider -- I suppose a new issue that we have been receiving, like Ms. Bisno said, e-mails on recently regarding some other aspects of the ordinance itself. What I would like to do simply because we did spend a lot of time and energy improving this and it's the reason why I seconded the Vice Chairman's motion. I think that there is nothing that prevents us from bringing this back when you have oppor -- and gives you an opportunity to fully inform all of your members, everyone who wants to opine as to the different aspects of the ordinance. As you all know, ordinances are changed constantly and can be changed constantly. I don't think there's anybody up here that has any problem with us bringing this back to discuss it. And I am sympathetic to the fact that you've actually told all your members not to come. And so I think it would be unfair for us to even discuss that issue when there's a lot of people who were told that it wasn't going to be brought up today. So I think what we should do is -- I believe we should pass the very positive aspects of this ordinance today that protect the neighborhoods and that create other very positive changes to our billboard ordinance. At the same time, we can commit to bringing back the ordinance for the discussion on other items and other issues relating to the ordinance. Meanwhile, the County, hopefully, will take some sort of an action which will clarify the potential discrepancy. And I know that there probably will be opposition at the County level to them doing that, but we are both legislative bodies. And so our hope is that the County does something to clarify the issue because we don't want to be operating -- And by the way, I have, Ms. Bisno, asked the Planning director of the County to clarify a letter that he wrote regarding whether or not some of our billboards are in compliance with the County code or with the City code. I have not -- I received a verbal statement that contradicts what he wrote in a letter, which I find to be a little odd, and then have not gotten confirmation that I will receive that verbal opinion in writing. So I guess some of that is for naught because I guess it's being discussed at the County level and it's going to committee and so you'll have -- and your group will have an opportunity if you decide to, for whatever reason, oppose cities having the ability to legislate, to opt out fully so that it wipes out that potential discrepancy with how the City Attorney has interpreted in the opt -out currently with some City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015.

City Clerk. • MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 10. SIGN REGULATIONS 3. In the case of an Illuminated Sign a reverse channel letter that silhouettes the Sign against an Illuminated Building face is desirable. Illumination of a Sign should be accompanied by accent lighting of the Building's distinctive Architectural Features and especially the Facade area surrounding the Sign. Illuminated Signs on unlit Buildings shall not be allowed. 4. Feature lighting of the Building, including exposed light elements that enhance Building lines, light sculpture or kinetic displays that meet the criteria of the Miami Dade County art -in -public places ordinance, shall not be construed as Signage subject to these regulations. 10.3.7 Special Sign Package The purpose of a Special Sign Package is to allow buildings exceeding 200,000 sf of commercial or office gross leasable Building Floor Area, mixed use developments over4 stories (excluding residential uses), entertainment establishments and Civil Support Uses exceeding 200,000 sf of Building Floor Area to allow greater flexibility in sign regulations to result in a higher or specialized quality design. It is important that sign designs preserve the characteristics of the surrounding community and create a sign package that will contribute to the character of the area. Specific sign standards may be exceeded for various sign types with the exception that the total Aggregate Area is not exceeded. Comprehensive signaqe proposals for Special Sign Package may only be permitted by Warrant. Aggregate Areas that exceed Table 15 Sign Design Standards may be permitted by Exception. 10.3.8 Regional Activity Complex Sign Package Comprehensive signaqe proposals for Regional Activity Complexes may only be permitted by Exception. Proposed Aggregate Area, shall not exceed three (3) square feet for each linear foot of wall fronting on a street. In determining whether an Exception should be granted, the PZAB shall consider the following guidelines as well as Article 4, Table 12: 1. Certain deviations from the sign standards and areas otherwise applicable may be considered within comprehensive signaqe proposals for Regional Activity Complexes. Specific sign cri- teria may be waived to achieve specific objectives commensurate with the facility's regional purpose, size, bulk and scale. 2. Signs should respect the Architectural Features of the Structure and be sized and placed subordinate to those features. Overlapping of functional windows, extensions beyond para- pet edges obscuring architectural ornamentation or disruption of dominant Facade lines are examples of Sign design problems considered unacceptable. 3. The Sign's color and value (shades of Tight and dark) should be harmonious with building materials. Strong contrasts in color or value between the Sign and Building that draw undue visual attention to the Sign at the expense of the overall architectural composition shall be avoided. 4. In the case a Sign is Illuminated, a reverse channel letter that silhouettes the Sign against a lighted Building face is desirable.

Francisco Garcia (Director, Planning & Zoning): Yes, sir, we're ready. I believe -- I'd like to make a brief introduction prior to the PowerPoint presentation being displayed, which is in the works right now. What you're about to see, Commissioners, is the presentation of an ordinance that the Planning & Zoning Department has been working on for approximately a year and a halt; but it is by no means the product solely of our work. We have worked very much in tandem with the community; many stakeholders who have advised us and provided their guidance. We have worked with the industry, the signage industry. We have worked with attorneys, advocates, et cetera. not to mention various departments within the City: City Attorney's Office, Building Department, and CEP (Capital Improvements Project). And we think we have a fairly comprehensive, fairly detailed proposal to show you today. It will do, essentially, two things: It will take the existing language, the existing regulations for signage in the City of Miami -- and let me take a moment to emphasize that this does not affect or regulate in any way billboards or murals, so I wanted to avoid that confusion. It will simply address onsite signage for wares and products available onsite. It will do two things: It will significantly simplify the existing language in the Code, and it will also add graphic support and tables, when needed, to make it a much more user-friendly article of the Zoning Ordinance. In addition to that, it has -- it introduces one new concept, which is the ability to take the amount of signage available for any particular site in the aggregate and allows the applicant the opportunity to tailor, design the signage for a building, a large -scaled project, let's say, to really suit its needs instead of having to worry about how many window signs, how many wall signs, or other types of signs they are able to have. This is through a warrant, so it requires design review. And when we've actually adopted this method to review this item's proposal for large-scale development, it has really worked very well. We'd like to instill this ability also in our Code. I won't belabor this anymore. I'll yield to David Snow, who has led this project for us in the Planning & Zoning Department, and we'll certainly stand by to answer any questions. David Snow (Planning Tech): Good afternoon, Commissioners. David Snow with the Planning Department. So, just a quick overview of our presentation today. I'll go through the background analysis of our studies for the sign ordinance, some public outreach that we did throughout this process, the organization chart of the sign ordinance, • new design standards that are in place, and transects specific conditions. Just a quick overview: This was roughly a 26-month-long process that the Planning Department undertook that looked through a series of industry standards that were, you know, throughout the country, as well as both state and local guidelines. We looked at, you know, local County code, North Miami, Dora!, Gables; as well as state and national codes, Seattle, San Francisco, just to kind of get a feel for what other municipal governments were doing to achieve their signage regulations, which is not quite complex. Again, this was a 26-month-long process. Through this process, we met with several -- or not -- I should say more than several, roughly 35 individuals, ranging from private citizens, business owners, as well as professionals in the sign industry. We also put on two workshops that were done through the PZAB (Planning, Zoning & Appeals Board) in December and in January -- December of 2012 and January of 2013, and both were well attended and received good comments from those boards. This is an organization chart of the sign ordinance, and it may seem a little complex, but it's quite organized compared to what we have today, and it's — it shows a breakdown of how the new Article 10 will function. And, you know, once you get into the nuances of it, it's quite easy to use, as it -- from what we have today. Section 10.2, or the new ordinance, has illustrations and diagrams that make the ordinance a lot more user-friendly and easier to understand from, you know, design professionals to the average, you know, small business owner. Table 15 is a new organization chart that we've designed to break down transect-specific standards for signage, for building identification, and business identification signs. The table is made up of roughly eight main areas, starting with the transect ID (Identification), sign type, such as wall, window projecting, and then broken down through the transect as -- such as "R," "L," and "O." And then the aggregate sign area calculation is identified in this table, sign widths, sign type limits, illumination standards, and finally, supplemental standards. Each transect zone was looked at and identified, you know, specific changes that needed to be made. Now, within the T3 transect, the building identification is at point five times the linear frontage with a maximum aggregate of 24 square feet allowed, and this is primarily restricted to religious facilities, schools, and subdivision names within T3, as well as home office has specific regulations within it. T4, all T4 -- or all illuminated signs within T4 are permitted through a warrant process. The sign area coefficient is point five times the linear frontage, with a total aggregate area of 150 square feet max. And T5 to T6, as well as the "C" and "D" transect zones, have a building identification max of 50 square feet, a business identification of one times the linear frontage, so roughly a one-to-one ratio, and that's for a mixed -use • complex. For a single -use building, it's 1.5 times the linear frontage, with a max area of 300 square feet. And I will also note that, you know, these -- none of these coefficients have changed. We've tried to keep this as close to what's City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 4 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • allowed today. So, you know, we're not creating any, you know, nonconforming issues, or we're not putting, you know, business owners out to have to change their sign program. This is just an example within the T5 - T6 transect zones of what's allowed today versus what the new sign ordinance proposes, and this is probably a little small to read, but basically, in the red, it's showing a total aggregate area allowance of 67.5 square feet, a sign area. And with the new sign ordinance, it's broken out a little bit more into various sign types, but the total sign area that is allowed is current -- is the same as 67.5 square feet total. And this is a mixed -use structure, and it's -- today, unfortunately, we don't have a specific total square footage permitted. It's one of the things that, you know, just is not available, and now we do have a total of roughly -- this would be 20 square feet for a single -- I'm sorry -- for one establishment within the multi -establishment building, so roughly, the storefront's 20 -- has 20 linear frontage, so 1 times 20 is 20 square feet, which they would be allowed for their signage. Another new portion of the sign ordinance is our illuminated sign standards. Today there are -- or I should say very minimal illuminated standards that we have in our ordinance, so we're recommending an illum — level requirements, a max level of point three four candles above ambient light; illuminated signs be equipped with automatic dimming technologies; that they're not -- that illuminated signs are not permitted within 100 feet of residential zoning transects, unless they are permitted through the warrant process; and the warrant process is for T3, T4, T5-R, and T6-R; and animated signs, such as flashing, moving, are prohibited. Another new component of the sign ordinance is the special sign package. This is a program that we've designed to accommodate large-scale development projects, such as commercial office buildings, mixed -use developments, as well as entertainment establishments and civic support uses, such as medical campuses. Basically, this allows them to have a little bit more flexibility with their sign regulations for, you know -- you know, most campus -like developments have specific needs, and so this would accommodate those needs without exceeding their total aggregate area allowance, and this would be through a warrant process. This ordinance also is proposing to alleviate the free-standing sign provisions that currently exist. Today, the free-standing allowance is designed more for a, you know, suburban -type of a prototype, which Miami 21 is going away from. This appeals more towards auto -centric developments, as opposed to the pedestrian scale. It's counter-tuitive [sic] to walkable streets, and it's previously not allowed in certain special districts within the old Zoning Ordinance as well. We have built in a five-year period that these free-standing signs can be removed, and also with an incentive to replace these signs with a monument -style sign with a 20 percent increase in their signage area, so that they can replace it with somewhat of a larger sign that they have today. Some of the advantages of the monument -style sign: It's much more urban -scale prototype, it's easier for pedestrians to see visibly, as well as vehicles from the street. This also promotes slower vehicular traffic movement, as opposed to higher -speed traffic conditions. It promotes better walkable streets, and as well as it just, you know, looks, I think, better all around. And that concludes our presentation. Thank you. Chair Gort: Thank you. Francisco. Mr. Garcia I'd like to simply add a couple of comments. We're certainly recommending approval, as did the Planning Zoning & Appeals Board after a number of hearings in which we addressed many of the issues that surfaced. And in anticipation of some of the feedback that you are likely to hear, I would like to sum up -- and again, many who are here to speak will delve into this in more detail. Some of the concerns that we've heard repeatedly have to do with the programmability of electronic signage. Now, the ordinance, as you see it before you today, allows for programmable signage simply because that is what is available in terms of the industry state-of-the-art, and that technology can be used for good purposes. We do understand and we have seen many manifestations of that very same technology being used for not such good purposes, and we are aware of the concerns about that. In conversations with many who are here today, we have expressed to them that we thought it best to present to you the best product in terms of the regulatory environment, but if it is felt in the end that we are not ready to accept programmable signage yet, in spite of the very conservative regulations or restricted regulations that are in this particular ordinance, we would encourage • you to set that portion of the ordinance aside -- and we've prepared backup legislation to accomplish that before second reading -- and allow the rest of the ordinance to go forward, because quite frankly, I think everyone would benefit from a better organized, better structured, more user-friendly, and more flexible ordinance as a result. And I'll answer any questions you have, of course. Chair Gort: Thank you. It's a public hearings [sic]. I have quite a few requests. Nathan Kurland. Nathan Kurland: Nathan Kurland, 3132 Day Avenue. I would like to mention the staff -- Francisco Garcia and David • Snow -- in the Planning Department, who should be commended for their work, which improves the signage regulations in some instances. However, this draft contains provisions which will significantly change our unique Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. City of Miami Page 5 Printed on 4/29/2015 • subtropical community into a flashing and distracting mess everywhere it doesn't, and tourists look. We have opened the barn door to an industry, the outdoor advertising industry that has little regard for our natural beauty and quality of life. Therefore, I believe the following changes in the sign code should be made. While I like Mini -Wheats, miniskirts, and Minnie Mouse, I am not a big fan of mini -LEDs (Light -Emitting Diodes). This sign code should but does not restrict electronic message signage with regard to the number, distancing, location visibility from residential units. In addition, even stricter limits should be adopted to control the changing messages and brightness of these LEDs. While we do have the technology to measure brightness that is over the limit, we don't seem to have the will in our Code enforcement. This sign code should but does not forbid media towers, like the ill-conceived 2011 50-story multi -facet -- multi -phased LED billboards capable of dominating Miami's skyline, landscape, and neighborhoods. Fifty -story LEDs can be seen for 27 miles. This sign code should but does not forbid new billboards within the territorial boundaries of our City as of the effective date of the ordinance. As of the effective date, any sign lighted in a manner that is nonconforming to the distance requirements should be removed at the owner's expense. No further exchange of existing static billboards for new LED billboards may be allowed in the City of Miami. Four, this sign code should -- and I'll wrap up, Commissioner -- but does not require murals to be designated as mural advertisement or billboards on walls. Illegal billboards on walls must be removed at owner's expense. No further enlargement of the mural advertisement zone may be permitted in Miami -Dade County or the City of Miami. In conclusion, I want to quote the Biscayne Times, August 2013, Billboard Jungle. "Outdoor advertising has become Miami's crack cocaine: The money gets you high, but one day it will kill you." Thank you. Chair Gort: Thank you. Commissioner -- Nancy Lieberman -- Liebman. Nancy Liebman: Good afternoon. It's Nancy Liebman. I'm here representing Miami Beach United. We haven't had an opportunity to have input in person to the meetings that have been discussed, but we have sent our comments and our objections. We are a historic commercial district from 50th Street to 77th Street, and there is no consideration for signage in the historic district. We object to any of the mini -electronic -- whatever they are. There was a proposal at one time to put little stickers on all of the -- I can't even imagine what they were. They were electronic to put on the telephone booths. We have enough illegal signage on the Boulevard with that advertising disguised as telephones, so that we have. The point that I would like to make is that these -- there should be some indication of how historic signage is done in commercial districts throughout the City. You don't have many or any, except for this. We would like to have in the ordinance that only neon signage is used, not LED lights. So if you wish to enhance the historic districts, there has to be some mention of it in this ordinance. And I think that the Historic Preservation Board should be involved in the signage; they are as far as historic signs. We have many of the motels now that are coming back. They are putting the neon signage in and replicating the old signs. That has to be in this ordinance. Thank you for your time. Chair Gort Thank you, ma'am. Ken Jett. Ken Jett: Ken Jett, 8320, East Dixie Highway, here today representing Miami Neighborhoods United. Miami Neighborhoods United supports Scenic Miami in their efforts to quell the proliferation of signage. And with that said, I'd like to yield the rest of my time to Peter Ehrlich. Thank you. Chair Gort: Thank you. Peter Ehrlich. Peter Ehrlich: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, Commissioners. My name is Peter Ehrlich, 770 Northeast 69th Street, in Bayside. And some comments, some talking points have just been handed out to you. You might have seen some of these before. We've e-mailed them to you and dropped them off at your office. I want to thank Francisco Garcia very much and the Planning Department; they've been very nice. They have met with representatives of Scenic Miami. We've gone over many issues of the Code, and we're not opposed to the meat and potatoes aspects, the basic aspects that they've worked so hard on over the last few years. We're strenuously opposed to the items listed on these talking points: The electronic message signs, which are on page 58 of your handout material, it's only three quarters of a page, but we find it very damming and offensive for the City of Miami. We also oppose media tower, which is included in this new sign code. We think it should -- media tower should be deleted from all aspects of the proposed sign code, as well as from other areas where legislation lies in the City of Miami. We would like to see that the proposed sign code be drafted, as Mr. Kurland said, that's nonconforming and illegal signs come down now, rather than get a moratorium of either 12 months or 5 years. If they're illegal and City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 6 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • nonconforming, they should come down as soon as possible. And four, illumination. I know the Planning Department has tried to deal with this, but we would like to see if this is going to pass; that this -- the signs, particularly electronic message signs, which are mini -LED billboards, that the signs be shut off when the businesses close or 11 p.m., whichever is earlier. They shouldn't be running 24/7. Now, getting back to the electronic message signs. That's really the most offensive aspect to the legislation. We hope that if you're going to improve the sign code today, that you will eliminate the electronic message signs and let the exist -- the sign code, as proposed, work for a few years and then maybe it could be revisited. At previous hearings, the Planning, Zoning & Appeals Board, the director of Code Enforcement testified several times. And with all due respect for the director of Code Enforcement, he was very nice and very straightforward, and he said he was unable to Code enforce against illegal signs. And he gave, you know, very common sense reasonable reasons; the budget's too low; don't have inspectors after 5 o'clock; they don't have the proper training to legislate against illegal signs. He had a lot of good reasons. Electronic message signs should not be included in the new code for many, many excellent reasons. Thank you very much for your time. Chair Gort: Thank you. Bob Powers. Bob Powers: Bob Powers, 565 Northeast 66th Street. And the reason I'm here is because I'm in a historic district, and I made my living doing landscape design work, and I won awards for my outdoor lighting, so I know a lot about outdoor lighting and how that affects things. The thing about it is that in this particular ordinance -- and I know they worked very hard to do this -- is that nothing's been taken into effect as far as historic districts and how we're going to deal with neon, whether it's going to be neon or LED, and there's a distinct difference in the lighting. It's not a pretty light. LED is a light source that is a blue light, and, of course, neon lighting is much more palatable to the eye. So there's some things that need to be taken into account. The other thing also is that in the sign ordinance, you would not be able to put up the South Pacific sign as it now stands. You make things now in the historic district non -- you can't think they don't comply, so we have to address that issue before we move forward with a sign ordinance that's going to make things now noncompliant, and we need to look at that. And some of those signs are also stand-alone signs. The stand-alone sign for the Shalimar, the stand -- there's a stand-alone sign for a bunch of those hotels that are part of the architectural significance of the building, so we need to take that into account. And I'll also just bring up another building that you guys who live on -- in the southwest section of the City, is the old Walgreens sign. That would fall into a noncompliant thing, and that sign is phenomenal. That is a phenomenal sign, that huge beautiful sign that's on top of that building. That makes that completely -- and we need to take into account those kind of signs. Those are called -- those are monument signs. They bring people to a center. They make people like remember what that area was when it was the place to be and all the rest of that, and you have them all over the City. So you really have to be very, very careful when you start these ordinances not taking into account some of these more -- involved sign things. The other thing also is that signs that are flat on a building are not seen unless you're across the street. Sometimes you need to have signs that stick out like this so that people see them from both sides of the ball. Thank you very much. Chair Gort: Thank you, sir. Now close the public hearings [sic]. Comments, board members. Commissioner Suarez: Mr. Chair. Chair Gort: Commissioner, yes, sir. Commissioner Suarez: Thank you. First, I want to -- you know, I want to commend the Planning Department and -- because this -- I'm sure, for them, was like a labor of love; and I know how hard I worked on the affordable housing piece of legislation for how many months, and you always want it to go smoothly when it comes here, you know, and I think this one has been far from smooth, through no fault of your own. I think you have intelligently decided that, you know, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water in terms of the whole legislation and maybe not tackle it all, you know, by saying that you're willing to advise us to go forward without one component that I think would satisfy many of the activists here who have been very consistent in their concerns about signage in the City. I want to apologize to Peter, 'cause I know he came by my office yesterday, and then I saw you speaking to him, and then I said, "I better not interrupt," 'cause it seemed like you guys with were having a thoughtful and involved • conversation, and I knew you were going to have that conversation, so I didn't want to barge in. I figured at some point today we would be able to connect, but we weren't able to, so I think we can connect between first and second, City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Page 7 Printed on 4/29/2015 • • given where we're at today. I agree with what Bob said. I think the issue with that, Bob, just so you know -- and I may be wrong -- those monument -type signs are on the top-- we talked about that recently in conjunction with another entity that wanted to promote that in the City, and we were told that it was against the Florida Building Code. Now, I may be wrong. I'm not sure if that's the correct recitation of -- go ahead. Mr. Garcia. I simply wanted to say you're correct, that that recitation of the Building Code is correct. What I would like to say, though, to address Mr. Powers' concern, is that there is language in this ordinance -- and we can certainly strengthen it. So if we've missed anything, we're certainly happy to go back and look at it. But there is language in this ordinance that says that any sign that has been issued a certificate of appropriateness -- and maybe of the ones that he's described have been issued -- Commissioner Suarez: Right. Mr. Garcia -- a certificate of appropriateness -- those are exempt from the sunsetting clause. Chair Gort: Bob, excuse me. Commissioner Suarez: Now, let me just fmish by saying that, you know, we had this discussion the other day with reference to murals or illegal murals or whatever. I don't understand why we cannot code enforce this appropriately. I mean, I don't think there's an excuse for us not to be able to code enforce it appropriately. I don't -- I -- listen, there's plenty of resources, there's plenty of manpower, there's plenty of people. You know, I don't know why anyone would get the impression that we can't. I can't. I mean, I drive around -- and I encourage you all to drive around with your cell phones, 'cause it's pretty simple to do. Don't get in an accident, please. Don't do it while you're driving. Pull over or whatever. But I found in the last -- since the last Commission meeting, I found an illegal mural, which was on 42nd Avenue and Southwest -- I'm sorry, Northwest 7th Street, on the back of the Region's Bank building, and it was an off -- I mean, I've become an expert on the ordinance -- it's an off -premise advertising, you know, and it certainly wasn't one of the 35, that's for sure. So I sent it over to Code Enforcement and they -- my understanding is they sent a notice of violation to the property owner. So, I mean, obviously, we all kind of become Code Enforcement officers, and I encourage you to do that, because it's very simple with the technology that we have today. But I don't think there's a good excuse not to be able to code enforce these things. Now, again, there's a big difference between Code enforcement and code compliance, 'cause a lot of times we're enforcing the Code, and the owner of the property doesn't comply, and I think that's whole 'nother discussion for another day. But, you know, I support this effort, because I think your general purpose is true, and that's to try to make cohesive and sensible and attractive signage, which right now in the City is a mess, and it's all over the place and it's ugly. My wife reminds me about it all the time. My mom was the one that told me about the -- but my wife reminds me about the ugly, particularly illuminated signs, but I'm not even going to get into that -- go down that rabbit hole. But, you know, I will support you. I think we should leave out the electronic signage for now, and then, you know, we'll go from there and then see if there's something we can work out. Chair Gort: I have to tell you, most of the complaints that come to my office come through here, but this makes it a lot easier. Yes, sir. Vice Chair Hardemon: I'm also happy to hear that the electronic message signs were taken out for us to address, but I must admit, though, that, you know, I want to really tackle that head on. As I did my research around the nation, people, municipalities, and other places are banning electronic messaging signs. And my first taste of really a true electronic messaging sign where there aren't any others, so it would be a pioneer, it was not in the City of Miami. It was in the City of Miami Gardens on 27th Avenue as you cross 183rd Street. It just happened to be nighttime. And to see the brightness of that light when there was nothing else around it, it really shocked me, because it really illuminated almost the street. And to think that if there were -- because I know in the City of Miami, we'll have a lot more businesses than just that one with it. If there were sign after sign after sign that had that, that to me is a safety issue, as well as an aesthetic issue. Because safety -wise -- I mean, there's research that suggests that if you take your eyes away from the road for more than two seconds, you put yourself in the extreme likelihood of having an accident. But the thing about electronic messaging signs that are different from our traditional signs is that our mind • has now been able to -- just so -- when you're riding down the street, you can ignore the bus bench, the person walking, the -- when they're on the sidewalk, the trees, the houses. You've been trained to ignore that. But that Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. City of Miami Page 8 Printed on 4/29/2015 • electronic messaging sign, it grabs your attention, and especially when it's one of the nature that will change. You know, you fmd yourself looking for it. "What does it say today?" And so not only does it take away from our community seeing that it's aesthetically pleasing, but moreover to me, it's a huge safety issue, because it takes too much attention away from our drivers on the street. And I will go so far as to ban it myself. I mean, this is not something that I think that, at least in my tenure, I want to see just -- as a possibility that could happen, depending on who's on the Commission. I don't know what the will of the Commission is, but as far as I'm concerned, if I found support for a complete ban of it, I would. Chair Gort: Anyone else? Anyone else? Do I have a motion? Been moved by Commissioner Samoff. Is there a second? Vice Chair Hardemon: Can we just clarify the motion? Chair Gort: Is there a second? Vice Chair Hardemon: Can we clarify the motion? Commissioner Suarez: Second. Chair Gort: Second -- Commissioner Suarez: Second. Chair Gort: -- for discussion. Vice Chair Hardemon: I just wanted to clarify the motion. So the motion will be that it is moved, but something is modified, so I just want to make sure that it's the electronic messaging signs that are out of it and that's as modified. Is that correct? Ms. Mendez: We're bringing that back on second reading modified, so when we read it, it will be as modified. Vice Chair Hardemon: And it would not have EMS (Electronic Messaging Sign)? Mr. Garcia For clarity sake -- I'm sorry, just procedurally. I'm sorry. I certainly presented to you that option, and we're very happy to receive that direction. I believe that what's in the record right now is a motion for approval of the ordinance, unless I'm mistaken, Commissioner Sarnoff, but I defer to the Commissioner. Commissioner Sarnoff: I'm prepared to go either way. If there are Commissioners that want to bifurcate it, I'm okay with that. If you want to discuss it and deal with it head on, I'm okay with that. I think this sign code is an amalgamum [sic] of a lot of our problems with our Code in different various parts of it. How we want to deal with it. How we want to discuss it. I'm okay with leaving one for one day and one for another, or I'm okay with dealing with it as we need to deal with it. But this Code has a lot more good than it has anything -- Commissioner Suarez: Oh, no doubt about it. Commissioner Sarnoff: Right. Vice Chair Hardemon: Mr. Chairman, what I would ask of the movant is that we have a friendly amendment to remove the electronic messaging (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Commissioner Samoff: I'm fine with that.

Mr. Garcia: And I would like to add, as well, that we're certainly happy to -- although, again, we think that there is ample protection for historic signage. I'm certainly happy to follow up with the historic preservation community and our preservation to the extent that they haven't been addressed already. Chair Gort: Okay. Unidentified Speaker: Thank you. Chair Gort: Commissioner Carollo. Commissioner Carollo: Again, I thought it was going to be deferred from the beginning, so I -- again, I'm not — I know it's first reading, but I don't think you're going to get my approval on first reading. And then, you know, we'll have time between first and second to discuss it and see where we're at, but you're not going to get my support on first reading. Chair Gort: Okay. Any further discussion?

Mr. Hannon: The Ordinance passes on first, as modified, 4-1. Commissioner Sarnoff: Mr. Chair. Chair Gort: Thank you. Commissioner Sarnoff: Just for anyone's thoughts, I mean, doesn't -- what we've done now, doesn't it freeze -- Mr. Planning Director, doesn't it freeze electronic signs as they are right now? Mr. Garcia Sir, it is my contention -- and this is a broad statement, so please don't hold me to it on a case -by -case basis. But it is my contention that any one of the electronic messaging signs that are out there right now that are operating in animated as you see them are certainly not in compliance with the Code and were not permitted legally. Commissioner Samoff: So anybody that has an -- let me just use US 1. There is a -- I was going to say something maybe not that appropriate. There's a cosmetic -- Commissioner Suarez: Don't do it. Commissioner Samoff: — sign up there and they're — (UNINTELLIGIBLE) sign up there. Mr. Garcia I've seen them, sir. I've seen them. Commissioner Samoff: Are those legal? Mr. Garcia It is my contention that they are not, certainly not in the way as they are presently being operated. Commissioner Samoff: Have we done any --7 So, let's say we're going to move forward and leave our electronic code just where it is. You're saying they're illegal. Have -- sorry? Ms. Mendez: To begin with. Commissioner Samoff: Right. Commissioner Suarez: Right. Commissioner Samoff: So -- all right, so are we going to do anything to make them come into compliance. Isn't that the nice way of saying it? Chair Gort: Very nice. Commissioner Samoff: There you go. Mr. Garcia Yes, sir, we are happy to work with the Code Enforcement Department to provide them any substantiation they need to proceed ahead. Commissioner Samoff: And before we get a second vote on this, I'm -- think Commissioner Carollo would probably • support me on this -- can we get a status report on those two very visible signs as to what you've done to bring them into compliance? Submitted into the public City of Miami record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 Page 11 Printed on 4/29/2015 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. • • Mr. Garcia: I will look further into that, yes, sir. Commissioner Carollo: And Mr. Chairman, that was a conversation or discussion we had weeks ago that I said, "Hey, listen, we're doing selective enforcement. There's others out there, and I think we need to go after them." And that was my point. Vice Chair Hardemon: Mr. Chairman. Chair Gort: Yes, Vice Chairman. Vice Chair Hardemon: When you speak of it being illegal, help me understand a little bit better. Because when I consider the signs, I feel as if the industry -- the technology is just more -- it's further advanced than our laws are. Commissioner Suarez: I agree with that. Vice Chair Hardemon: So as I understand it, there's nothing within our laws that says that electronic messaging signs are not to code or illegal, so that is the reason why I brought that up. Because as of right now, more and more people will be using electronic messaging signs, and if that goes out of style, maybe another type -- maybe a hologram sign. That may be the next big thing that comes out, that projects some type of live person in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk that actually dances and spins the little signage instead of an actual real person. So those type of things are actually reasonable to consider to come up with, but yet, we don't have laws that affect it. So they're illegal, meaning that that they're not within code, they're not compliant to any code, but at the same time, we have nothing that really speaks against it. Mr. Garcia: So we do, sir. We have clearer language in this proposal that -- at present. So if this were not to be passed, there are presently prohibitions in place against flashing or animated signs, and the defmitions that go along with flashing or animated signs, I think cover that particular concern rather well. Chair Gort: Let me ask you a question. My understanding, to erect one of those signs, you have to pull a permit, don't you? Mr. Garcia: That is correct. Chair Gort: The permit's issued by the Building Department or --? Mr. Garcia: Yes, sir. Chair Gort: Okay. So if they don't pull a permit, automatically illegal? So that's something we can check with the Building Department. Mr. Garcia: That is correct. There are two aspects to that however. One is, of course, the erection of the sign itself, which has to comply with the building codes, and plans are submitted. But it could be and it is often the case, as a matter of fact, that the sign is erected with the benefit of a building permit. The operation of the sign itself is in violation of the Code, and that we can pursue through Code Enforcement. Chair Gort: Well, when you issue the building permit, the manufacturer, my understanding is, can be warned and informed with the law and the way it goes on how this should be functioning. Mr. Garcia Exactly right, and there is clearer language in this ordinance that accomplishes exactly that. Chair Gort: Now, my question is, not only can we go after the property owner, but at the same time, my • understanding, the person -- the manufacturer, the person that puts up the sign is also have to be in compliance. Can he be penalized also for erecting a sign that is not in accordance with City Code? Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. City of Miami Page 12 Printed on 4/29/2015 • Mr. Garcia: My understanding -- Commissioner Carollo: Mr. Chairman, if I could charm [sic] in. That's something that I know the City Attorney and I have been discussing and trying to work on. If you remember a few months back, I showed some pictures of some illegal signs that were -- and we discussed, "Is it the owner of the sign? Is it the owner of the property?" One particular one that I showed actually had a license plate, so can we, somehow, you know, do some type of other -- and again, we've been discussing it, but we still haven't brought up legislation. Commissioner Samoff: Wouldn't those folks --? Commissioner Carollo: Because that could be a State -- Commissioner Samoff: But wouldn't -- if -- I remember the one you brought up. Commissioner Carollo: Right. Commissioner Samoff: So wouldn't they have to have, Madam City Attorney, a BTR (Business Tax Receipt) to be offering for sale something in the City of Miami? Ms. Mendez: Well, there are a few issues. One, obviously, the owner of the property is the one that -- Commissioner Carollo: Right. Ms. Mendez: -- we're always going to get on the hook, because the owner of the property is the one that's allowing. Whether he's leasing the property, whatever the case may be, he's the one that's allowing this illegal sign to be there. So that's the person that's always going to get a citation or Code enforcement or an injunction, what have you; would be the owner of the property. When it comes to the actual person that's moving the sign around, there may be -- depending on where it's left, the sign, since it's usually on a cart or a trailer of some sort, could probably be booted if it's on the right-of-way, if it's improperly placed on the right-of-way, and then that would probably cause for some, you know, civil citation to the person that's moving this thing around, based on his license or traffic citation. So that's also a possibility. If there's an improper tag, license -type tag on the trailer, so those are some other options that could be addressed as well. Commissioner Samoff: But -- Commissioner Carollo: And by the way, that's part of my discussion item that I'll probably end up deferring, because as you could see, we're still working on it; we're still working on the kinks and so forth. But if you remember, months ago we discussed it, and there's different ways that we could go about it. But the bottom line is, is it illegal? Yes. Ms. Mendez: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: Yes. Commissioner Samoff: But correct me if I'm wrong. What is the requirement for having a BTR in the City of Miami? Ms. Mendez: Well, that -- you're thinking more of like a peddler's license. Is this actually a peddler? We could -- we can take the position that it's some sort of business enterprise that's going from place to place, and we can also -- but we would ultimately site the property for having this illegal business, and the person could technically -- and we're still looking into this -- be arrested for not having the proper BTR. Commissioner Samoff: Right. And then you have law enforcement actually having the ability to remove the sign, confiscate the sign. I -- it wasn't like I just want to throw something against the wall and see if it sticks, and I don't know if you still have the problem. But if -- I believe, if you are selling something in the City of Miami, you have got to have a form of BTR, a business tax receipt. The failure of which to have one, so I've been schooled by you, not City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk.

Yes. Commissioner Sarnoff: Technically. Chair Gort: There's all kinds of vendors' license. Ms. Mendez: We just have to -- right, there are all kinds of vendors' license, so it would have to be on a case -by -case basis and see exactly what, if anything -- Chair Gort: And those vendors' license have certain requirements. Ms. Mendez: Yes. Chair Gort: I know in downtown Miami, we had them, and we had them in some of the neighborhoods. Ms. Mendez: Correct. Chair Gort: Okay. Ms. Mendez: But usually, all these types of -- unless this is associated with some sort of, you know, special event or an onsite type of permit, most of these signs are 95 percent of the time illegal.

Francisco Garcia (Director, Planning & Zoning): PZ.11, sir? Chair Gott: Come again. Mr. Garcia: PZ.11? Chair Gort: Yes. Mr. Garcia: Thank you. Item PZ.11 is before you on second reading. This is the comprehensive sign ordinance for the City of Miami. This item has been reviewed carefully by your Planning & Zoning Department over a period of approximately a year, a year and a half. We had, I think, a healthy conversation about the details of this ordinance on first reading, and as a result, I'd like to briefly point out to you, although we are certainly prepared to make a full presentation, but I'd like to highlight the changes that have been made both at your request and at the request of some of the stakeholders that we've interacted with over the last year and a half. The ordinance before you, as it presently reads, eliminates electronic messaging signs altogether; those are the animated signs that you've heard so much about, but we're happy to answer questions about that. The language for historic signage is reworded so that if any district, neighborhood or specific signs or structures are the beneficiary of a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic & Environmental Preservation Board through a warrant, they would be able to remain as they are and retain their historic status. We also clarified some regulations pertaining to the base of monument signs; that was an item brought by the Commission as well. We have changed in this draft the size of low density residential real estate signs from one square foot to four square feet. By way of reference, one square foot of real estate sign are the ones that you might see in the City of Coral Gables; the four square -foot signs, two -by -two, are the ones that you see more typically throughout Miami -Dade County. And last but not least, signs above the height of 50 feet are regulated such as to include hotels as well. There have been other minor typographical changes, but that is the sum and substance of what we've done over the last couple of months to bring the ordinance, we think, in compliance with your wishes. With that, we are happy to go into full presentation or answer any questions you may have. Chair Gort: It's up to this Commission. Commissioner Sarnoff: So moved. Chair Gort: It's been moved by Commissioner Sarnoff. Vice Chair Hardemon: Second. Chair Gort: Second by Vice Chairman Hardemon. Peter Ehrlich: Is there a public -- Chair Gort: It's a public hearing. Yes, sir. Mr. Ehrlich: Is there a public hearing, Mr. Chairman? Chair Gort: Yes, sir; you're recognized. Mr. Ehrlich: Thank you very much. My name is Peter Ehrlich. My address is 770 Northeast 69th Street, and I'm here regarding this legislation for the new sign code. We at Scenic Miami and other stakeholders have worked very hard with the Planning Department, and we want to thank Commissioner Hardemon, Commissioner Suarez, who is not here right now, for their great comments at the last meeting, talking about LED (light -emitting diode) billboards and distractions that they've been causing people throughout the United States, and we are thankful that the legislation has been improved, based on the comments at first reading, and the electronic message signs have been taken out. Unfortunately, you know, media tower remains in the legislation, but maybe we can work on getting that removed at a City of Miami Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015.

GENERAL 10.1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to provide a comprehensive system of regulations for Signs visible from the public right-of-way and to provide a set of standards designed to optimize communication and design quality of Signs. Through these regulations, the City of Miami will uphold the United States Constitution and State of Florida Constitution, conserve and protect scenic beauty, regulate signaqe for the purpose of visual clutter, and preserve the aesthetic character of the City. In addition, special permits which may have been approved under previous Ordinance 11000 or under previous sections of this ordinance may also contain conditions that regulate Signs on certain properties. No Signs or advertising devices of any kind or nature shall be erected or maintained on any premises or affixed to the inside or outside of any Structure to be visible from the public right-of-way except as specifically provided for by these regulations. 10.1.1.1 Intent: a. Promote the effectiveness of Signs by preventing their improper placement, deterioration and excessive size and number. b. Regulate and control Signs and Sign Structures in order to prevent property damage and per- sonal injury resulting from improper construction or poor maintenance. c. Promote the free and safe flow of traffic and protect pedestrians and motorists from injury and property damage attributable to cluttered, distracting, or illegal signaqe. d. Control and reduce visual clutter and visual blight. e. Prevent any deleterious effects arising from the unrestricted use of Signs by providing a reason- able, flexible, efficient, comprehensive and enforceable set of regulations that will foster a high quality, aesthetic, visual environment for the City, enhancing it as a place to live, visit and do business. f. Assure that public benefits derived from expenditures of public funds for the improvement and beautification of streets and other public Structures and Open Spaces shall be protected by exercising reasonable control over the character and design of Sign Structures. q. Address the business community's need for adequate business identification and advertising communication by improving the readability, and therefore, the effectiveness of Signs by prevent- ing their improper placement, over -concentration, excessive Height, area, and bulk. h. Coordinate the placement and physical dimensions of Signs within the different Transects. Protect property values, the local economy, and the quality of life by preserving and enhancing the appearance of the Streetscapes that affect the image of the City. L Acknowledge the differing design concerns and needs for Signs in certain specialized areas s ckfm tetiotgrtgtis es. record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 10.

No Waiver from maximum logotype, length of Sign or Number Of Signs shall be granted. q.

Signs should respect the Architectural Features of the Facade and be sized and placed sub- ordinate to those features. Overlapping of functional windows, extensions beyond parapet edges obscuring architectural ornamentation or disruption of dominant Facade lines shall not be allowed. 2. The Sign's color and value (shades of light and dark) should be harmonious with Building materials. Strong contrasts in color or value between the Sign and Building that draw undue visual attention to the Sign at the expense of the overall architectural composition shall be prohibited. 3. In the case of an Illuminated Sign, a reverse channel letter that silhouettes the Sign against an Illuminated Building face is desirable. Illumination of a Sign should be accompanied by accent lighting of the Building's distinctive Architectural Features and especially the Facade area surrounding the Sign. Illuminated Signs on unlit Buildings shall not be allowed. 4. Feature lighting of the Building, including exposed light elements that enhance Building lines, light sculpture or kinetic displays that meet the criteria of the Miami Dade County art -in -public places ordinance, shall not be construed as Signage subject to these regulations. Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. • MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 10. SIGN REGULATIONS 10.3.7 Special Sign Package The purpose ofa Special Sign Package is to allow buildings exceeding 200,000 square feet of commercial or office gross leasable Building Floor Area, mixed use developments over four (4) stories (excluding residential uses), entertainment establishments and Civil Support Uses exceeding 200,000 square feet of Building Floor Area to allow greater flexibility in Sign regulations to result in a higher or specialized quality design. It is important that Sign designs preserve the characteristics of the surrounding community and create a Sign package that will contribute to the character of the area. Specific Sign standards may be exceeded for various Sign types with the exception that the total Aggregate Area is not exceeded. Comprehensive signaqe proposals for Special Sign Package may only be permitted by Warrant. Ag- gregate Areas that exceed Table 15 Sign Design Standards may be permitted only by Exception. 10.3.8 Regional Activity Complex Sign Package Comprehensive signaqe proposals for Regional Activity Complexes may only be permitted by Exception. Proposed Aggregate Area shall not exceed three (3) square feet for each linear foot of wall fronting on a street. In determining whether an Exception should be granted, the PZAB shall consider the following guidelines as well as Article 4, Table 12: a. Certain deviations from the Sign standards and areas otherwise applicable may be considered within comprehensive signaqe proposals for Regional Activity Complexes. Specific Sign criteria may be waived to achieve specific objectives commensurate with the facility's regional purpose, size, bulk and scale. b. Signs should respect the Architectural Features of the Structure and be sized and placed subor- dinate to those features. Overlapping of functional windows, extensions beyond parapet edges obscuring architectural ornamentation or disruption of dominant Facade lines are examples of Sign design problems considered unacceptable. c. The Sign's color and value (shades of light and dark) should be harmonious with Building ma- terials. Strong contrasts in color or value between the Sign and Building that draw undue visual attention to the Sign at the expense of the overall architectural composition shall be avoided. d. In the case a Sign is Illuminated, a reverse channel letter that silhouettes the Sign against a lighted Building face is desirable. Illumination of a Sign should be accompanied by accent lighting of the Building's distinctive Architectural Features and especially the Facade area surrounding the Sign. Illuminated Signs on unlit Buildings are unacceptable. The objective is a visual lighting emphasis on the Building with the lighted Sign as subordinate. Automatic electric changing Signs acceptable under the Miami -Dade County Code Section 33-96.1 may be reviewed for compliance under this Section. e. Feature lighting of the Building, including exposed Tight elements that enhance Building lines, light sculpture or kinetic displays that meet the criteria of the Miami Dade County art -in -public places under Miami -Dade County Code Section 2-11.15, shall not be construed as Signage subject to these regulations.

MIAMI INNOVATION TOWER DESCRIPTION The purpose of the MIAMI INNOVATION TOWER ("MIT") is to deliver a world -class icon that fuses and integrates digital technologies and lighting reflective of the Information and Digital Age. By creating a signature design, the tower will become a distinctive beacon that is Miami's own.The world will identify the MR with Miami and the Information and Digital Age similar to how the Arch, Space Needle and Eiffel Tower are inextricably part of their respective gateway cities identities currently and in their respective ages of development (Arch in St. Louis and Space Needle in Seattle during the Space Age; Eiffel Tower in Paris during the Industrial Age).The clear distinction between the Miami Innovation Tower and other iconic structures will be the use of technologies that are tailor-made for a society driven by imagery and real-time information, while harmonizing with the towers form and function.The tower will be a communications vector that captures the importance of the City, the magnitude of its progression to a world -class metropolis, and emphasizing its status as a gateway and hub to the Americas, all at a location that frames the downtown core and honors Overtown/Park West as a distinct neighborhood with a rich history rooted in culture. The entire building from exterior to interior will utilize state-of-the-art digital and interactive technologies, and that technology will be used to tell the story of Miami and of Overtown. The building is designed with two distinct features: a tower unlike any building in Miami's skyline and a hovering base that unifies the Entertainment District and Overtown/Park West. Designed as kinetic sculpture, the Miami Innovation Tower is dynamic, evoking movement throughout. Emerging from an active base with public gathering spaces and internal exhibition and media facilities that blend pedestrian -scaled, distinctive architecture with patterns and textures rooted in the neighborhood vernacular, the three sides sweep up into a twisting, rotating tower of monumental proportion and design. The media components complement and enhance this movement, visually unifying tower and base with digital technologies and synchronized lighting. The display areas at the tower level are configured to fit within the context of the towers sides, displaying slowly rotating digital content, while the base will be designed to support the connection with the neighborhood and visitors to the site, featuring more cinema -graphic content and lighting and digital interactivity reflective of the neighborhood's need for urban place making and community gathering. Featuring transparent media facades that are resilient to the harsh South Florida climate and leading sustainable energy design, the MIT's digital displays will have a total of 84,750 SF of digital display technologies with a total of 79,780 SF of display area across all three of the tower faces (Displays 1, 2, and 3) and 4,970 SF on a wraparound display at the lower pedestrian level (Displays 4 and 5). Collectively, the displays and tower design will serve as the premier digital media experience in Miami, South Florida and the world.

STRUCTURAL CONCEPT APPROACH NARRATIVE BY THORNTON TOMASETTI- STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS The Miami Innovation Tower will be 633 feet high tower and will need to withstand hurri- cane winds. The basic structural concept consists of a "Y"shaped shear wall core. Each leg of the "Y" shaped core is about 35ft 6in from the center of the Y"at the base with stairs in the legs of the"Y". The outer dimension of the stair shaft is about 28ft 6 in from the center of the "Y"with a hollow super column beyond the stair shaft about 7 feet wide to make the outer dimension of the'Y' leg a 35ft 6in dimension at the base and tapering to 28ft 6in at the top of the tower.The approximate width of each leg of the core is about 21 feet as presently planned. The inside corners of each "Y" legs are filleted together by a radius to create a concave configuration.The final thickness of the walls of the prismatic'Y" shaped core will be dependent on the wind tunnel results and detailed structural analy- sis. It is anticipated that concrete core will be post -tensioned to fully activate the concrete thereby reducing the thickness of the shear walls and increasing the dynamic properties of the structure. The need fora tuned mass damper (TMD) at the top of the tower to in- crease occupants comfort will be dependent on the wind tunnel results and structural analysis. It will be a tradeoff of extra material versus the cost of a TMD. The anticipated design structural wind pressure at the top of the tower will be about 170psf based on the present code. The wind pressure will be a maximum at the top of the tower and reducing triangularly to about 50psf at the base. A wind tunnel will be needed to determine the actual pressures with the porosity of the media waII'sail" modeled.The core will be supported on a pile supported concrete mat— the thickness of which will be determined based on structural analysis and the piles to be used based on geotechnical recommendations. The structural approach to support the media wall "sail"is to create a series of horizontal armatures at about 15 feet on center vertically.The width of each one of these horizontal armatures on a given level is about 100 feet.Three horizontal armatures will be needed at each level, which are rotated around the central "Y"shape core. The horizontal armatures will have a gap between each of the armatures that varies from 20 feet at the base to 10 feet at the top.The local wind pressures on the media wall will be greater than those on the overall strocture.The lateral load from these horizontal armatures is transmitted to the central "Y'shaped core by radial spokes from the "Y" shaped core to the horizontal ar- mature.The distance between the horizontal spokes at the armature will be about 15 feet. The gravity load of the media wall will be hung to support framing at elevations about 120 feet above grade, and 240 feet above grade and from support platforms at Level 1(about 373ft above grade) and Level 6 (about 553ft above grade). Because the hung hor- izontal armatures are rotating around the"Y"shaped core, the hanger rods (i.e. sag rods) will be tilted and spaced 15 feet on center and will induce horizontal forces in the arma- tures and support framing that will be resisted by horizontal bracing. Another major structure issue of the Miami Innovation Tower is how to support the occu- pied cantilever pods. There are two groups of cantilever pods, one at Tower Level 00 (ele- vation 373 above grade) and a second cantilever pod at Tower Level 06 (553 above grade). There are five platforms in the lower pod and four platforms in the higher pod. The highest level of the lowest pod is 448 feet above grade and highest level at the upper pod is 598 feet above grade. Below the lower platform in each pod there will be 3 one-story deep (15k) trusses spanning tip to tip of the'Y"shaped core (about 53 feet) forming a chambered corner equilateral triangle in plan. From these trusses, perpendicular trusses will span from the 'Y"shaped core through these trusses and out to the perimeter of the pod. The levels above the truss of each pod, Levels 1 thru 5 in the lower pod and Levels 7 thru 9 in the upper pod, will be posted down to these transfer truss platforms at Levels 00 and 06.The perimeter posts similar to the hanger rods will be tilted because the floors will also rotate around the cores and the floor diaphragms and bracing will resolve this twist- ing action. The resulting Miami Innovation Tower will be a structural "Tour de Force"with a unique visual twisting tower which in reality at its core is a prismatic symmetric structure. This structural approach was successfully developed by Thornton Tomasetti on the super tall Shang haiTower that recently topped out.

By creating a signature design,the tower will become a distinctive beacon that Is Miami's own.The world will Identify the MIT with Miami and the Informatlonand Digital Age similar to how the Arch, Space Needle and Eiffel Tower are inextricably part of their respective gateway cities Identities currently and In their respective ages of development (Arch In St. Louis and Space Needle In Seattle during the Space Age; Eiffel Tower in Paris during the Industrial Age).The dear distinction between the Miami Innovation Tower and other iconic structures will be the use of technologies that are talior-made for a society driven by imagery and real-time information, while harmonizing wtth the towers form and function. The tower will be a communlcatlons vector that captures the Importance of the City, the magnitude of its progression to a world -lass metropolis, and emphasizing its status as a gateway and hub to the Americas, all at a location that frames the downtown core and honors Overtown/Park West as a distinct neighborhood with a rids history rooted in cuhure.The entire building from exterior to interior will utilize state-of-the-art digital and interactive technologies, and that technology will be used to tell the story of Miami and ofOvertown. The building Is designed with two distinct features: a tower unlike any building In Miami's skyline and a hovering base that unifies the Entertainment District and Overtown/ParkWest Designed as kinetic sculpture, the Miami Innovation Tower is dynamic, evoking movement throughout Emerging from an active base with public gathering spaces and internal exhibition and media facilities that blend pedestrian -scaled, distinctive architecture with patterns and textures rooted in the neighborhood vernacular, the three sides sweep up Into a twisting, rotating tower of monumental proportion and design.The media components complement and enhance this movement, visually unifying tower and base with digital technologies and synchronized lighting.The display areas at the tower level are configured to fit within the context of the tower's sides, displaying slowly rotating digital content, while the base will be designed to support the connection with the neighborhood and visitors to the site, featuring more dnema-graphic content and lighting and digital interactivity reflective of the neighborhood's need for urban place making and community gathering. Featuring transparent media facades that are resilient to the harsh South Florida climate and leading sustainable energy design, the MI 'sdigital displays will have a total of B4,750 SF of digital display technologies with a total of 79,7805f of display area across all three of the tower faces (Displays 1, 2, and 3) and 4,970 SF on a wraparound display at the lower pedestrian level (Displays 4 and 5). Collectively, the displays and tower design will serve as the premier digital media experience in Miami, South Florida and the world. I W , ; APPRO Q)5FROM NORT ERN PLAZA DISPLAY 2 L--===o-cr..

Each leg of the'Tshaped core is about 35ft 61n from the center oftiler at the base with stairs in the legs tether The outer dimension of the stair shaft is about 28ft 6In from the center of the'Y'with a hollow super column beyond the stair shaft about 7 feet wide to make the outer dimension of the 'Y'leg a 35ft 6in dimension at the base and tapering to 28ft 6in at the top of the tower. The approximate width of each leg of the core Is about 21 feet as presently planned.The Inside comers of each'Y'legs are filleted together by a radius to create a concave canfguration.The final thidmess of the walls of the prismatic'Y' shaped core w81 be dependent on the wind tunnel results and detailed structural analy- sis. I Is anticipated that concrete core will be post -tensioned to fully activate the concrete thereby reducing the thk kness of the shear walls and increasing the dynamic properties of the structure The need fora tuned mass damper (TMD) at the top of the tower to In- crease occupants comfort will be dependent on the wind tunnel results and structural analysis It will be a tradeoff of extra material versus the cost of a TMD. The antidpated design structural wind pressure at the top ofthe tower will be about 170psf baud on the present code. The wind pressure will be a maximum at the top of the tower and reducing triangularly to about 50psf et the base. A wind tunnel will be needed to determine the actual pressures with the porosity of the media wall 'call' modeled.The core will be supported on a pile supported concrete mat— the thkkness of which wall be determined based on structural analysis and the odes to be used based on geotechnial recommendations The structural approach to support the media wall 'sail' is to create a series of horizontal armatures at about 15 feet on center vertically. The width of each one of these horizontal armatures on a given level Is about 100 feetThree IAeboutal armatures will be needed at each level, which are rotated around the ceneral'Y'shape core The horizontal armatures will have a gap between each of the armatures that varies Sam 20 feet at the base to 10 feet at the top.The local wind pressures on the media wall will be greater than Nose on the overall structure.lhe lateral load from these horizontal armatures Is transmitted to the central'Y'shaped core by radial spokes from the"Y-shaped core to the horizontal ar- mature.The distance between the horizontal spokes at the armature will be about 15 feet The gravity load of the media wall will be hung to support framing at elevations about 120 feet above grade, and 240 feet above grade and from support platforms at Level 1(about 373ft above grade) and Level 6 (abort 553ft above grade). Because the hung hor- Izontal armatures are mtajng around titer core, the hanger rods (Le. sag rods) will be tilted and spaced 15 feet on center and will Induce horizontal forces in the arma- tures and supportframing thatw(II be resisted by horizontal bracing. Another major structure issue of the Miami Innovation Tower Ishowtosupporttheoccu- pied cantilever pods.There are two groups of cantilever pods, one at Tower Level 00 (ele- vation 373 above grade) and a second antllever pod at Tower Level 06 (553 above grade). There are foe platforms In the lower pod and four platforms in the higher pod.The highest level of the lowest pod is 448 feet above grade and highest level at the upper pod Is 598 feet above grade. Below the lower platform In each pod there will be 3 one-story deep (15ft) tmsus spanning tip to tip ofthe'Y'shaped core (about 53 feet) forming chambered comer equilateral triangle In plan. From these trusses, perpendicular trusses will span from the'Y'shapes! core through these trusses and out to the perimeter of the pod.The levels above the truss death pod, Levels 1 thru 5 in the lower pod and Levels 7 than 9 In the upper pod, will be posted down to these transfer tons platforms at Levels 00 and 06.The perimeter posts slmtlar to the hanger rods will be tilted because the floors will also rotate around the toms and the floor diaphragms and bracing will resolve this twist- ing action. The resulting Miami Innovation Tower will be a structural -Tour de Force with a unique visual twisting tower which In reality at its care Is a prismatic symmetric stmcture.Th0s structural approach was successfully developed by Thornton Totnasettl on the super tall Shanghai Tower that recently topped out DRAWING OF.

RIC STRINGER #172204 CITY OF MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY MEMORANDUM TO: Clarence E. Woods, III, i xec - Director of Southeast Overtown/Park West Co '1.4 !i R de •pment Agency FROM: Victoria Mendez, City A tsr ey DATE: April 30, 2015 RE: SEOPW Executive Director is authorized to review and approve plans/applications for a media tower Matter No. 15-411 You have requested my Office's opinion on the following questions: 1. Whether Section 6.5.11 of Miami 21 grants you the authority to review and approve signage plans for the Miami Media Tower. 2. Whether you may condition that approval upon the applicant's proffered commitments to make financial and other contributions for the benefit of the Southeast Overtown/Parkwest Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA"). 3. Whether the signage plans for the Miami Media Tower require a Warrant and/or a sign permit, particularly for signage above fifty (50) feet. ANALYSIS Authority of CRA Director It is our opinion that you have been granted the authority to review and approve the signage for the Miami Media Tower under Section 6.5.1 of Miami 21 and that you may attach reasonable conditions to that approval. Your authority to review and approve signage is expressly provided for in Section 6.5.1, which states as follows: All applications shall require a mandatory review and approval by the Executive Director of the CRA. (emphasis supplied) Formerly known as Section 6.5.4, the section was renumbered following the adoption of Ordinance No. 13464. Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Clarence E. Woods, III, Executive Director of SEOPW-CRA April 30, 2015 Page 2 of 3 However, you are not the only review in that your review has not supplanted that of the Zoning Administrator per this section nor any other applicable reviewers. The section states all applications shall require "a" mandatory review not the sole review. Moreover there is no language delegating the role of the Zoning Administrator as to signage. This section in fact requires that you review all applications under this section. See e.g., Whaley v. Scott, 79 So. 3d 702, 715 (Fla. 2011) (Where legislature delegated authority to a department head, the Governor or his Executive Office could not supplant the department head's role and authority through Executive Order.) see also Acosta v. Richter, 671 So.2d 149, 153 (Fla. 1996) ("The plain meaning of statutory language is the first consideration of statutory construction.") In your review, you must take into consideration the following: Criteria. It is the purpose of the Miami Media Tower to (a) define an area in the City where signage of this type can be placed on a tower(s) that, together with architectural design standards for Buildings within the area as well as Urban Design standards based on new urbanist principles in the area of the City, will establish a unique local, regional and national identity within the area; (b) strengthen the economy of the City by encouraging the development and redevelopment of a depressed, blighted and slum area within a major redevelopment area within the downtown core of the City; and (c) provide a source of funds to be used exclusively within said redevelopment area for redevelopment related activities, and nothing else. Please note that while your review and approval of the signage is required, the applicant must also obtain a Sign Permit as set forth in Section 7.1.2.9, which permit is subject to applicable criteria and any applicable appeal provisions in Miami 21 via the Zoning Administrator. Conditions on Approval As part of your authority to review and approve applications, you have the implied authority to impose reasonable conditions upon that approval. See State Board of Education v. Nelson, 372 So. 2d 114, 116 (Fla. Is` DCA 1979) ("The power to issue a certificate.. necessarily and by fair implication includes the authority to specify the conditions under which such certificates shall be held and revoked"); Dep't of Health & Rehabilitative Servs. v. Florida Psychiatric Soc., Inc., 382 So. 2d 1280, 1285 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980) (confirming holding in Nelson). Where the applicant has proffered as part of the application certain financial and other benefits, you have the authority to condition the approval on the performance of those commitments. This is particularly the case where they bear a reasonable nexus to the purpose and intent of Section 6.5.1, which is to generate a source of funds to be used exclusively within the CRA for redevelopment activities.2 2 Any proffered commitments should be memorialized in a written instrument binding the applicant. Submitted into the public record for item PZ.16 and PZ.17 on 6/25/2015. City Clerk. Clarence E. Woods, III, Executive Director of SEOPW-CRA April 30, 2015 Page 3 of 3 Necessity of a Warrant for Signage Section 6.5.1 of Miami 21 is the enabling legislation for the Miami Media Tower that, inter alia, allows for certain signage in conjunction with the Miami Media Tower that would not otherwise be authorized by Miami 21.3 However, Section 6.5.1 does not obviate the need for compliance with all other applicable portions of Miami 21, the City Code, or other applicable laws and regulations. The fact that Section 6.5.1 discusses the need for sign permits in connection with the Miami Media Tower does not supersede other applicable regulations. Signage fifty (50) feet above the Average Sidewalk Elevation as defined in Miami 21 requires a Warrant.4 As the specific Miami Media Tower legislation is silent as to any modification of this requirement, it is still applicable. Such signage could be accomplished via the "Special Sign Package" provision of Miami 21, though such an alternative requires a Warrant as well.5 Lack of Authority of CRA Board The power to adopt land development regulations is vested solely in the City Commission, and in this particular instance by Ordinance No. 13114 granted the review of signage to you as the Executive Director, not the CRA Board. See generally, Whiley, 79 So. 3d 715. Moreover, the organizational documents between Miami -Dade County and the City of Miami do not provide any such authority to the CRA. Therefore the CRA Board does not have any actual or apparent authority to ratify or alter your decision. VM/RSR/DSG/rg fide 3 E.g., allowing "Outdoor advertising business signs" and "Animated and Flashing signs". Cf., Section I0.1.4(c)(1) of Miami 21 prohibiting "Illuminated Signs containing functions of Animated Signs." Section 10.3.6, Miami 21. 5 Section 10.3.7, Miami 21.
