City staff is recommending general housekeeping and updates to the City Code. Thesm,
updates are recommended for consistency with recent changes in legislation, f
clarification of Code provisions, for facilitation of development review and to providl
regulation for new technology. The specific proposals are as follows:
1. Chapter 4, Alcoholic Beverages, to amend and clarify Restaurant and Cocktail
Lounge Exemptions.
Chapter 4 of the City Code regulates the sale and service of alcoholic beverages. l)
requires that the location of an establishment is at least 1500 feet from a business with an
existing liquor license and at least 2500 feet from a school or place of worship. There ar-,
several exceptions to this location requirement; those being:
• Private clubs
• Restaurants in B1, B2, TC1, TC2 and TC3 zoning districts that serve cooked, full
course meals daily prepared on premises
• Cocktail lounges in restaurants where full course meals are available at the bar and
have at least 200 seats and 4000 square feet of floor area
• Beer and wine sales from rocs stores
• Bowling alleys
• Hotels and motels with at least 100 guest rooms
® Golf course clubhouses
® Excursion, sightseeing or tour boats that serve full course meals and have at least
200 seats and 4000 square feet of floor area
• Tennis clubs and indoor racquetball clubs with no less than 15 courts
• Not for profit theatres with live performances with no fewer than 100 seats
If an establishment roes not ea e distance and spacing requirements and goes nI meet the criteria for exemption, they may apply to the City Commission for conditional u
approval.

Staff has recently had a request from an electric vehicle manufacturer to install
supercharger station within an existing surface parking area in a commercial plaza. Th
manufacturer advised that they wish to add more supercharger stations to plaz
throughout the City. The following definitions and regulations are proposed to facilita
installation of electric vehicle charging stations.
There is an existing supercharger station on the ground floor and other single chargin
posts in the new garage in the Aventura Mail expansion. The City has also installed singi
charging posts in the Aventura Government Center parking garage and in Founder's Par
These installations did not pose a City Code concern because the location was eith
completely enclosed and/or parking spaces and drive aisles complied with the size an,
I
location required by City Code. Installations on existing surface parking areas do pose
concern because many of the existing parking areas are non -conforming and chargin
cabinets are installed open-air, 11
Staff recommends that a definition of electric vehicle charging station and standards f
installation be added to the Off -Street Parking, Loading and Driveway Standards sectio
of Chapter 31, Land Development Regulations (LDR), of the City Code.

IV. t r 31, Article VII, Use Regulationsto clarify in RS1, RS2, RMF3,
1, , TC1, TC2 and TC3 zoningdistricts
From time to time, staff receives inquiries from developers, architects and attorneys
regarding the meaning of language that allows uses permitted in one zone as either
permitted or conditional uses in another zone.
For example, staff receives questions regarding the B2, Community Business zoning
district, which provides that "arty use permitted in a B 1 district subject to the requirements
of that district as outlined herein" is also permitted use in the B2 zoning district. This
provision means that all "Uses permitted' in the B1 district are permitted in the B2 district;
however, it does not mean that "Conditional uses" in the B1 district are permitted uses in
the B2 district.
Similarly, there is language in the majority of the zoning districts which provides that "a//
uses permitted in the Community Facilities (CF) zone" may be allowed as conditional uses
in another zone. This provision allows the "Usespermitted' in the Community Facilities
(CF) District but does not include the "Conditional uses" in the CF zone.
Recommendation:
In order to clarify that language, staff proposes to chane the capitalization of "uses
permitted' in the applicable zoning districts to "Uses permitted' and add language to
clearly specify that the uses permitted do not include the conditional uses.
Proposed Amendment:
Chapter 31, Article VII, Use Regulations
Sec. 31-143. - Residential Zoning Districts.
(b) ResidentialSingle-Family i tri t ( )® The following regulations shall apply to
all RS1 Districts.
(1) Purpose of district. The RS1 Zoning District is established for one-family detached

V. Chapter 31, ArticleIIS Clarification of definitionof accessory
An accessory use is defined in Section 1® 1 of the City Code as follows:
"Accessory use or accessory building shall mean a use of land or of a building or portion
thereof customarily incidental and subordinate to the principal use of the land or building
and located on the same lot with the principal use."
An accessory use is exclusively for the use of the principal use or building to which it is
attached. As such, an accessory use may not have a separate sign or be advertised for
use to anyone other than users of the principal use or building. For example, a
convenience store or beauty salon in a residential building may be established for use
only by the residents of the building.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the definition be clarified to include the prohibition of signage or
outside advertisement of the accessory use.

VII. Chapter 31, Article IX, Sign Regulations to add regulation for wall signs for
Assisted Living Facilities
Staff s received requests from o of the existing assisted living facilities for wall signs.
The City Code currently allows wall signs for retail, office n hotel buildings. The only
sign permitted for an assisted living facility is a monument sign. However, there was an
exception made for the new facility in the Park Square development, where a wall sign
was permitted through a multi-tenant sign package approved by resolution. Assisted living
facilities are considers a non-residential use for purposes of the City's zoning Code.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that wall signs be permitted for Assisted Luing Facilities, similar in
number, type and size to wall signs permitted for office and hotel buildings.
Proposed
"Section 31-191, Sign Regulations Generally
Nonresidential district nigras. The owner(s), or their authorized representative, may a

VII. Chapter 31, Article IX, Sign Regulations to add maximum illumination level for
signs and to allow digital video display on a commercial advertising sign that has
been approved by variance.
I. Maximum illumination level
There have been two recent installations of channel letter wall signs with interior LED
illumination. The LED light, while energy and cost efficient, is much brighter than the
standard neon light. The concern is distraction of drivers due to the intense light.
Staff has reviewed a recent illumination study by the International Sign Association, and
regulation in neighboring cities' codes. The City's LED streetlights are 10,000 lumens.
For further comparison, a recent LED sign installed at a new Assisted Living Facility is
20,000 lumens. Staff has also consulted with a City sign vendor who advised that the
standard illumination for signs is 4,000 lumens up to 7,000 lumens for a bright sign.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that a maximum illumination level of 4,000 lumens be added to the
City's sign code. The new provision will apply to all signs where illumination is permitted.
II. LED changeable copy on a commercial advertising sign approved by variance
The sign code prohibits any animated sign, defined as:
"Animated sign: A sign that uses motion of any part by any means, or that displays
flashing, oscillating, sequential or intermittent lights other than time and temperature
signs, stock market price quotations and changeable copy signs. Includes digital video
displays."
The owner of a billboard that was previously approved by the City Commission through
the variance procedure in the Land Development Regulations has requested that the
current static advertising display be changed to an LED changeable copy display.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the prohibition on changeable copy be amended to exempt a
billboard that has received variance approval from the City Commission.
Proposed Amendment:
Section 31-191 — Sign regulations generally.
(f) Prohibited signs. The following are prohibited:
( ) Animated Signs, except cornrnercial advertisin sing defined in Section 1®193 of
this Article, that has been approved the City through variance.
_� } An sign with an illumination level exceeding 4,000 lu ens.
ill® Chapter 31, ArticleLandscaping, to add regulation for use of artificial turf i
limited lig i
The City's landscaping requirements do not contain regulation for the use of artificial turf
for any application. Artificial turf has historically been used for indoor arenas an
commercial pla iels; however, the use has increased to other applications such as
public and private outdoor recreation fields, roadway medians, rooftop and above® ground
terraces and pool decks in both residential and non-residential developments. This trend
stems from technological advances in the materials, making them more life-like and
environmental ly®friendly.
The benefits of artificial turf are water conservation, increased durability and elimination o
pesticides. The traditional concerns of using artificial turf include hazardous effect when
using rubber tires as the backing, heat island effect, permeability, reduction of soil habitat
and bacteria growth. The City has used artificial turf for the playfield at ACES. This turf is
permeable, heat resistant and bacteria-resistant. It has non-toxic backing materials and an
expected lifetime of 10 years. The City has used a turf base containing sand that may
support some soil habitat.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the addition of a definition of and material specifications for use of
artificial turf in public and private athletic fields and playgrounds, roadway medians,
rooftop or above ground terraces and pool decks in residential and non-residential
developments.
Proposed to
Section 1 ® Landscaping Requirements.

SUBJECT: Mid-Year Ordinance Amending 2019/20 Budget
1st Reading March 10, 2020 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 7
2"d Reading April 6, 2020 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance amending the
2019/20 budget. The total amount of each fund's budget amendment is outlined below.
BACKGROUND
As you may be aware, the City normally amends the budget at mid-year to:
• recognize actual fund balance amounts carried over based on the prior year's audit
and to;
• re-appropriate the balances in capital outlay projects which were not 100% complete
by the end of the prior fiscal year.
The need to re-appropriate unspent capital accounts and to recognize the actual fund
balances at September 30, 2019 to the 2019/20 budget was also addressed in my
memorandum dated March 5, 2020 which will accompany the Commission's electronic
package containing the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
• In addition, there are a couple of "Other Items" that were not considered in the
originally adopted FY 2019/20 Budget that need to be addressed through a
corresponding budget amendment that will provide the necessary funding. Some of
these items may have been previously discussed with the Commission but now
require formal action.
For simplicity, the following narrative addresses all of the items discussed above in
"Fund/Account Number sequence" in terms of how they appear on the adjacent Budget
Amendment Schedule.
1
GENERAL FUND (001)
Revenues and Expenditures— a net decrease of$841 respectively.
1. To re-appropriate the Aventura Founders Park remaining balance of $109,052 (at
September 30, 2019) for tennis court enhancements that were not completed by the
end of FY 2018/19. This additional cost will be offset by a corresponding reduction
to the Capital Reserve in the amount of$109,052.
2. To appropriate $267,261 worth of additional funding to replace the Government
Center Roof which was originally scheduled to be replaced in FY 2020/21. This
additional cost will be offset by a corresponding reduction to the Capital Reserve in
the amount of$267,261.
Background
As you may recall, the Government Center Roof has been experiencing small leaks
over the past few years, resulting in our Public Works/Transportation Department
doing emergency repairs on an as-needed basis.
On October 29, 2019 the City received an Engineering Report from Garland/DBS,
Inc. ("Garland") that essentially recommended that a new skin ("skin process") be
placed on the roof sooner than later as the existing roof's condition was quickly
deteriorating. The skin process comes with a 10-year warranty and prevents the
City from incurring a cost of more than $400,000 for a complete re-roof. The skin
process is a viable option at this time, as the roof's base is still dry and undamaged.
On January 16, 2020, due to the circumstances outlined above and in order to
ensure that the Government Center facility would be ready for the upcoming rainy
season, the City Manager declared this condition an emergency and authorized staff
to issue a Purchase Order to Garland for the new skin process. The City was able to
piggyback this purchase from Garland as they participate in the Master
Intergovernmental Cooperative ("MICPA") with Cobb County, GA and Omnia
Partners/U.S. Communities—Contract#MICPA#14-5903.
3. To (decrease) the net Non Departmental/Transfers from the General Fund to the
debt service funds by ($841) as follows:
a. Fund 230— ($308)
b. Fund 250— ($533)
This amendment allows the City to recognize and utilize actual fund balances from
the two-related debt service funds based on the prior year's audit as described
below.
This reduction in expenditures will be offset by a corresponding decrease in Carryover
(3999000).
2
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
POLICE EDUCATION FUND (110)
Revenues and Expenditures— a net increase of$7,596 respectively
To recognize and re-appropriate additional Carryover in the amount of$7,596 based on the
prior year's audit and in order to provide for additional Training.
TRANSPORTATION AND STREET MAINTENANCE FUND (120)
Revenues and Expenditures— a net increase of$4,494,871, respectively
To recognize and re-appropriate additional Carryover in the amount of $4,494,871 to fund
the two (2) projects below that were not completed by the end of FY 2018/19 and to adjust
the Capital Reserve budgeted line item.
1. To re-appropriate $266,019 for Road Resurfacing projects budgeted in FY 2018/19
(i.e., NE 187th Street and NE 185th Street Milling & Resurfacing) that were in process
at September 30, 2019.
2. To re-appropriate $178,286 for Transportation System Improvement projects
budgeted in FY 2018/19 (i.e., Crosswalk Solar Lighting and Flashing Pedestrian
Signs at Porta Vita and other locations) that were in process at September 30, 2019.
3. To increase the Capital Reserve budgeted line item by a net amount of $4,050,566
in order to adjust it as a result of the post-audit budget amendments described
above.
911 FUND (180)
Revenues and Expenditures— a net increase of$20,150 respectively
To recognize and re-appropriate additional Carryover in the amount of $20,150 based on
the prior year's audit in order to provide for additional capital reserve.
DEBT SERVICES FUNDS
DEBT SERVICE FUND SERIES 2010 & 2011 (230)
(Revenue Reclassification of$308—net effect is $0)
To recognize and re-appropriate a Carryover in the amount of $308 based on the prior
year's audit and to simultaneously reduce the transfer from the General Fund by $308 for a
net effect of$0.
DEBT SERVICE FUND SERIES 2012 (A)
CHARTER SCHOOL LAND ACQUISITION (250)
(Revenue Reclassification of$533—net effect is $0)
To recognize and re-appropriate a Carryover in the amount of $533 based on the prior

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND (392)
Revenues and Expenditures— a net increase of$151,599 respectively
To recognize and re-appropriate additional carryover funds to fund the items below.
Additional Carryover:
• Police—$137,722
• Community Services—$2,982
• Public Works/Transportation —$10,895 (traffic flow improvement project)
Additional Capital Reserve:
• Police—$137,722
• Community Services—$2,982
• Public Works/Transportation —$10,895 (traffic flow improvement project)
AVENTURA CHARTER SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION FUND (393)
Revenues and Expenditures— a net increase of$191,303 respectively
To recognize and re-appropriate additional investment income to fund future construction-
related expenditures.
Additional Funding:
• Investment Income— $191,303 (interest earned in FY 2018/19).
Facility/Building Construction:
• To allocate new funding to cover additional costs that are currently required (i.e.,
Professional Design Services for DSAHS Locker Room Construction as
discussed at the February 20, 2020 Commission Workshop — $49,050).
• The probable cost provided by the consultant for the construction of the locker
rooms is $338,000. Only a portion of this cost would be covered by this
additional revenue.*
*The City will soon be in the process of preparing the final close-out of the Construction
Contract to Kaufmann Lynn for the DSAHS. Any additional monies that may be required to
fund any remaining items (i.e., supplemental construction cost of locker rooms) will be
addressed in the End of Year Budget Amendment.
If you should have any questions related to this memorandum, please feel free to contact
the City Manager.
