The Site —The existing site consists of an approximately 3.84-acre parcel situated at the
intersection of NE 29 Avenue and NE 188 Street. The properties bordering to the north
comprise a single-story office building and a multifamily residential development known
as Camden South. To the east are the Uptown Marina Lofts and a canal leading to
Dumfoundling Bay. South of NE 188 Street are a self-storage facility and a commercial
marina. West of NE 29 Avenue are a mixed-use development known as The Venture at
Aventura and the Town Center Aventura retail plaza. The Property hosts a ten (10) story
office building built in 2003, a single-story retail building and a seven (7) story parking
garage.
2
The Project — Padel Park Aventura proposes to develop sport recreational facilities on
the rooftop of the parking structure. The facilities will include seven (7) padel courts with
shower and locker rooms, and a small retail space, juice bar and lounging areas.
The applicant has requested conditional use approval pursuant to Section 31-145(b)(3)m
to permit the recreational facility on the Property. All uses permitted in the Community
Facility (CF) district are permitted in the Town Center TC1 district if they are approved
under Conditional Use. Parks and uses generally associated with it are permitted uses in
the CF district.
The Administrative Site Plan Approval Application No. SP2311-0001 is currently under
review by City staff.
Parking Requirement — The parking garage currently provides substantially more
spaces than required for the office building. The rooftop of the garage will be converted
from parking spaces to padel courts, thus reducing the number of parking spaces while
increasing the parking requirement. Subsequent to this conversion, there will still be more
parking provided than required by the Code (733 spaces required, 865 provided).
ANALYSIS
Citizen Comments — Notices were mailed and the property was posted as required by
City Code. The Community Development Department has received no written citizen
comments to date.
Community Development Department Analysis - The recreational facility is located
within the Town Center District. In this district, centers that have open-air configurations
and serve the lifestyle pursuits of consumers in the area are encouraged.

any right on the part of an applicant to obtain a permit from a state or federal agency and

Utility
The Site — The existing site consists of an approximately 9.78-acre commercial plaza
known as Aventura Square located along Biscayne Boulevard between NE 191 Street
and NE 192 Street. The proposed business will be situated in the heart of the plaza,
encompassing 45,000 square feet. Positioned to the north are the Old Navy clothing store
and the International Jewelers Exchange. To the south is a DSW Designer Shoe
Warehouse and VCA Aventura Animal Hospital. Additionally, the plaza features a
Starbucks coffee shop, a Bodega restaurant, and two banks. The space to be occupied
by The Fresh Market was formerly Bed, Bath, Beyond.
The Project — The Fresh Market, Inc. proposes to establish a grocery store that has an
adjacent liquor package store to sell beer, wine, and liquor for off premise package sales.

The liquor package store will have an independent entrance and will not be connected to
the grocery store. The liquor package store will be designed with complementary alcohol
Castings for its patrons at a designated area. Patrons will not be charged not be charged
for the alcohol beverage Castings that will be consumed on the premises within the tasting
area. A different approval from the City and from the State would be needed in order to
offer drinks for sale.
ANALYSIS
Sales of alcoholic beverages requires conditional use approval due to the distance and
spacing requirements of Chapter 4 of the City Code as detailed in the "Community
Development Department Analysis" below.
Community Development Department Analysis—Chapter 4 of the City Code regulates
the sale and service of alcoholic beverages. Sections 4-2 (a) and (b) establish certain
spacing and location requirements applicable to businesses selling alcoholic beverages.
The Code provides that, unless first approved as a conditional use, no premises shall be
used for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be consumed on or off premises unless it is
located at least 1,500 feet from a place of business having an existing liquor license (and
not one of the uses excepted by City Code from the spacing requirements) and 2,500 feet
from a religious facility or school. The Applicant provided a registered radial survey
showing all licensed alcohol facilities and religious/educational facilities located within the
non-excepted distance (See Exhibit # 4 — Liquor Radial Survey).
Section 4-2 (e) of the City Code allows certain exceptions from this conditional use
requirement; however, conditional use approval is required for The Fresh Market liquor
store because only the off-premises sales of beer and wine are excepted.
Criteria
According to Section 31-73(c) of the City Code, a conditional use approval application is
evaluated using the following criteria-
1. The proposed use shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The request is consistent with the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan. This
establishment is located within property with a Business and Office land use
designation.
2. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use shall not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety or general welfare.
The proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger public health, safety or
general welfare. The Applicant intends to provide the package sale of beer, wine, and
liquor for off premise consumption to its patrons conducted in a positive and
responsible manner.
3
3. The proposed use shall be consistent with the community character of the immediate
neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed use is consistent with community character of the immediate
neighborhood. It will serve the neighborhood near the Aventura Mall, where other such
establishments have existed and should continue to exist responsibly in the future.
4. Utilities, roadway capacity, drainage and other necessary public facilities, including
police, fire and emergency services shall exist at the City's adopted levels of service
or will be available concurrent with demand as provided forin the requirement of these
LDR's.
There will be adequate utilities, roadway capacity, drainage, and other necessary
public facilities, including police, fire and emergency services, that will be available
concurrent with demand for the proposed use of the Property.
5. Adequate measures exist or shall be taken to provide ingress and egress to the
proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic congestion in the public streets.
The proposed liquor package store is located in an existing shopping center that has
adequate ingress and egress to the proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic
congestion in the public streets.
6. The establishment of the conditional use shall not impede the development of
surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district.
The conditional use will not have any detrimental effect on the ability of surrounding
properties to develop with uses permitted in their zoning districts.
7. The design of the proposed use shall minimize adverse effects, including visual
impacts of the proposed use on adjacent property through the use of building
orientation, setbacks, buffers, landscaping and other design criteria.
The proposed liquor package liquor store is taking over the space of the former Bed
Bath & Beyond, and it is compatible with the other business within the existing
shopping center and surrounding areas.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Based on the Analysis above, the application is found to meet the criteria for approval of
conditional uses in Section 31-73(c). Staff therefore recommends approval with the
conditions contained in this staff report.
1. This approval shall be granted exclusively to The Fresh Market Liquor Store to be
established at the Property. This approval may not be transferred to any other
location.
4
2. The applicant shall comply with the hours of operation allowed to establishments

the hours of 8.00 a.m. and 10.00 p.m.
3. The applicant shall obtain an alcoholic beverage license from the State of Florida
and begin sales of alcoholic beverages within twelve (12) months of the date of
this approval or the approvals granted shall be deemed null and void unless
extended by a motion of the City Commission at the written request of the
applicant, provided that the applicant has filed the request for extension within the
twelve (12) month period prior to expiration.
4. The applicant shall conduct Responsible Vendor Training pursuant to Florida
Statutes to ensure no sales are made to underage customers.
5. The conditional use approval may be terminated in the event the City Manager

Re: The Fresh Market— 19205 Biscayne Blvd., Unit#E150, Aventura, Florida
Letter of Intent—Conditional Use Application
Dear Mr. Klopp:
Our law firm represents The Fresh Market, Inc. d/b/a The Fresh Market("the Applicant")
that will be opening soon at: 19205 Biscayne Blvd., Unit #E150, Aventura, FL 33180 (the
Property'). This letter shall serve as the Applicant's letter of intent in support of the application
for a Conditional Use approval to permit the grocery store that has an adjacent liquor package
store to sell beer, wine, and liquor for off premise package sales pursuant to City Code Section 4-
2.
The Fresh Market is a grocery and liquor package store to be located in the former site
occupied by Bed Bath & Beyond, in a shopping center adjacent to the Aventura Mall. The
grocery and liquor package store will be undergoing major internal and exterior remodeling and
intends to be open and in full operation as soon as practicable. The Fresh Market is a destination
for those looking to discover the best including convenient, restaurant-quality meals, hand-
picked produce, premium baked goods, fresh-cut flowers, custom-cut meats and carefully
curated offerings for holidays and special occasions. The grocery store portion of the Property
that will provide package beer and wine sales for consumption off of the premises is exempt
from distance impacts pursuant to Sec. 4.2(e)(4) of the Code. The Fresh Market will also offer a
beer, wine and liquor package store that is adjacent to the grocery store for its patrons at the
Property. The liquor package store will be designed to create a high-end shopping experience
with complementary alcohol tastings for its patrons at a designed area within the liquor package
store as permitted by the Florida Beverage Law. The Fresh Market will not be charging patrons
for the alcohol beverage tastings that will be consumed on the premises within the tasting area.
Since the grocery and liquor package store is located within 1500 feet from other
business establishments with an alcohol beverage use and within 2500 feet of schools and
religious facilities the liquor package store requires a Conditional Use permit, as it does not meet
the distance requirements of Section 4-2(a) and (b) of the City of Aventura Code.
32082744v1
Page 2 of 4
Conditional Use Request. Pursuant to the Section 4-2 of the City' s Alcohol Beverage
Regulations and the applicable Land Development Regulations (LDRs), the Applicant requests a
Conditional Use approval to permit the sale of beer, wine and liquor for off-premises
consumption, where other establishments selling alcohol exist within one-thousand five hundred
feet (1,500) and a religious facility or schools/religious schools exist within two-thousand five
hundred feet(2,500). Section 4- 2 provides as
follows:
Unless approved as a conditional use, no premises shall be used for the sale of
any alcoholic beverages, as defined herein, to be consumed on or off the
premises where the structure or place of business intended for such use is
located less than 1, 500 feet from a place of business having an existing,
unabandoned, legally established (and not one of the uses excepted from the
spacing requirements hereinafter provided) alcoholic beverage use which
permits consumption on or off the premises. The 1,500 feet distance
requirements shall be measured by following a straight line from the nearest
portion of the structure of the place of business.
Unless approved as a conditional use, no premises shall be used for the sale of
alcoholic beverages to be consumed on or off the premises where the structure
or place of business intended for such use is located less than 2,500 feet from
a religious facility or school.
There are other similar establishments within one-thousand five-hundred feet(1,500) that
are already located within the perimeter, including a grocery store that also sells alcoholic
beverages for off-premises consumption. However, the Conditional Use is supported by the fact
that the existing grocery and liquor package stores described on the enclosed liquor survey for
The Fresh Market, as well as the other establishments in the area, have previously operated and
continue to operate in a responsible manner. It is also significant to note that the Property is
located adjacent to the Aventura Mall and large malls, like the Aventura Mail, typically offer a
variety of dinning and drinking options along with the with the many other uses within the mall.
Also, as depicted on the survey, there are schools, including religious schools and/or
establishments within two-thousand five-hundred feet (2,500) that are already located within the
distance impacts. However, the Conditional Use is supported by the fact that the existing schools
and religious establishments described on the enclosed liquor survey for The Fresh Market have
been located within close proximity to other alcohol establishments without issue. It is also
significant to note that the Property is located adjacent to the Aventura Mall and large malls, like
the Aventura Mail, as mentioned previously typically offer a variety of dinning and drinking
options along with the with the many other uses within the mall.
Furthermore, The Fresh Market has a proven track record in the community for providing
good food in a family-oriented atmosphere. The grocery and the package liquor store intend to
offer alcoholic beverage products at the Property in a responsible manner to its patrons and
visitors. It should be mentioned that The Fresh Market is proud that USA Today's lOBest
Readers' Choice Awards has recognized The Fresh Market for the third year in a row as the
"Best Grocery Store in America" for 2023.
Page 3 of 4
Conditional Use Criteria. The proposed Conditional Use addresses the criteria described
in Sec. 31-73 of Code, governing Conditional uses as follows:
1. The proposed use shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The application is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan,
specifically a collection of different commercial and retail uses are encouraged within the
Business and Office designation.
2. The maintenance and operation of the proposed use shall not be detrimental to or
endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare.
The proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger public health, safety or general
welfare. The Applicant intends to provide the package sale of beer, wine, and liquor for
off premise consumption to its patrons. As such, there are several other alcohol beverage
establishments, schools and religious institutions located near and within the adjacent
Aventura Mall and within the distance measurement from the Fresh Market. Please note
that these establishments serve and sell alcoholic beverages to their patrons, and it has
been demonstrated that alcoholic beverages sales can be conducted in a positive and
responsible manner. The sale of alcoholic beverages by existing alcohol establishments in
the adjacent Aventura Mall and surrounding areas has not resulted in any adverse effects
or issues in the past, and the granting of this Application will not change that record.
3. The proposed use shall be consistent and compatible with other similar grocery
stores within the neighborhood.
The Property is consistent with community character of the immediate neighborhood.
Again, it will serve the neighborhood near the Aventura Mall, where other such
establishments have existed and should continue to exist responsibly in the future.
4. Utilities, roadway capacity, drainage, and other necessary public facilities, including
police, fire and emergency services, shall exist at the City' s adopted levels of service,
or will be available concurrent with demand as provided for in the requirements of
theses LDRs.
There will be adequate utilities, roadway capacity, drainage, and other necessary public
facilities, including police, fire and emergency services, that will be available concurrent
with demand for the proposed use of the Property.
5. Adequate measures exist or shall be taken to provide ingress and egress to the
proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic congestion in the public streets.
The proposed liquor package store is located in an existing shopping center that has
adequate ingress and egress to the proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic
congestion in the public streets.
Page 4 of 4
6. The establishment of the conditional use shall not impede the development of
surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district.
The conditional use will not have any detrimental effect or impact on the ability of
surrounding properties to develop for uses permitted in their zoning districts.
7. The design of the proposed use shall minimize adverse effects, including visual
impacts, of the proposed use on adjacent property through the use of building
orientation, setbacks, buffers, landscaping and other design criteria.
The proposed liquor package liquor store is taking over the space of the former Bed Bath
& Beyond, and it is compatible with the other business within the existing shopping
center and surrounding areas. There will be no adverse effects associated with the
proposed liquor package and grocery store.
For all of the foregoing reasons we hereby request your favorable review and
recommendation, and that the Applicant's request for a Conditional Use approval is warranted
and should be granted. We would appreciate your scheduling this application for the next
available public hearing.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sinc ly,
Dominic "Nico" Romano

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
BY- Robert Meyers, Office of the City
y y
DATE: January 5, 2024
SUBJECT: An Ordinance of the City Commission Amending the City Code to
Remove All References to "Newspapers Of General Circulation"
Consistent with Chapter 50 of the Florida Statutes Which Permits
Website Publication of Legal Notices
January 9, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading)
January 18, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve an ordinance amending portions of
City Code Chapters 2, 22, and 31 by deleting all references to newspapers of general
circulation to enable all legal notices to be published in all permitted sources (including
website publication) under Chapter 50 of the Florida Statutes.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 50 of the Florida Statutes was amended to allow municipalities to publish their
legal notices and advertisements on a County-created publicly-accessible website in part
to reduce the high costs associated with publishing legal notices in newspapers of general
circulation. Once Miami-Dade County establishes a website for such purposes, the City
of Aventura will utilize this website to publish its legal notices. However, there are a few
sections in the City Code that specifically mandate publication of notices in newspapers
of general circulation. By amending the Code to remove the newspaper reference from
the Code, the City will be allowed to publish all of its legal notice on this website while
adhering to the notice publication requirements set forth in Chapter 50 of the Florida
Statutes.
Fiscal Impact
The City will experience a reduction in the cost of publishing its notices and
advertisements once Miami-Dade County finalizes the website and the City enters into
an agreement with RealAuction — the company that will publish such notices through the
County website.
