Request of Turnberry Associates, Inc. for Conditional Use approval to
permit a non-commercial helistop at the Aventura Mall. (02-CU-99)
June 6, 2000 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the request subject to the
conditions outlined herein.
THE REQUEST
The Applicant, Turnberry Associates, Inc, is requesting Conditional Use approval to

The Site - The subject site, the Aventura Mall, is located at the northeast corner of
Biscayne Boulevard and the William Lehman Causeway. (See Exhibit #2 for Location
Map).
The Project - The applicants propose to install a helistop on the top level of the
Bloomingdale's parking garage at the southeast corner of the Aventura Mall. The
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines a helistop as:
A minimally developed facility for boarding and discharging passengers or
cargo. The heliport--helistop relationship is comparable to a bus
terminal--bus stop relationship to the extent of services provided or
expected.
2
A landing pad composed of an 18' by 18' asphalt pad raised 8 inches above the existing
parking surface will be installed on the top parking deck of the Bloomingdale's garage.
Three existing light poles will be removed, red hazard lights will be installed on other
light poles and on the west railing and southwest stair tower. (See detailed photo of
proposed location attached as Exhibit #3) A wind sock, fire extinguishers and a cabinet
to house materials to clean minor oil and fuel spills will also be installed.
The helistop will be a limited use facility and no commercial flights will be permitted. Use
will be restricted to emergency use and takeoffs and landings authorized in advance by
the mall. One other helistop is located within the City at the Turnberry Isle Resort. The
nearest commercial heliport is Opa-Locka Airport.
The applicants received permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to install
the helistop in August 1999. (See Exhibit #4 for FAA letter.) In March 2000, Miami-Dade
County Fire Rescue Department informed the applicants that their proposed helistop
design would be usable if needed for their operations. (See Exhibit #5 for Miami-Dade
Fire Rescue letter)
ANALYSIS
Citizen Comments - The Community Development Department has received no written
citizen comments about this application.
Community Development Department Analysis - The Applicant is requesting
Conditional Use approval to permit a non-commercial helistop for private and
emergency services use on the top level of the Bloomingdale's parking garage at the
Aventura Mall, The proposed use is permitted as a conditional use in the B2 Community
Business District.
Criteria
According to Subsection 503.3, an application for Conditional Use will be evaluated
using the following criteria:
(a) The proposed use shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The use is not inconsistent with the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan.
(b) The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use shall not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety or general welfare.
Community Development Department Staff has reviewed the operation of the proposed
helistop with officials from the Florida Department of Transportation and Turnberry
Associate's aviation staff. Both expressed their belief that the location of the proposed
3
facility was typical for a non-commercial facility in an urbanized area. Rule 14-
60.007(6)(b)3, Florida Administrative Code, requires that a minimum of one
approach/departure corridor at an 8:1 slope be provided that is clear of any
obstructions. (A schematic diagram of this corridor is provided on Page 5 of 7 of the
provided plans.) The location of this primary approach corridor is indicated on Page 3 of
7 of the plan set. The nearest obstructions are the antenna complex atop the Concorde
II Building, 2999 NE 191 Street, and the seahorse statute atop the Aventura Mall. Both
are located well outside the primary approach corridor. A secondary approach corridor,
not required by Florida Administrative Code, is indicated on Page 3 of 7 of the provided
plan set. This corridor will become unavailable once construction commences on the
Classic Residence by Hyatt at 19901 West Country Club Drive. At the request of City
staff, the applicants have agreed to provide fire extinguishing and fuel/oil spill equipment
at the helistop normally required by Florida Administrative Code only of commercial
heliports. The Federal Aviation Administration has restricted operation of the helistop to
Visual Flight Rules (VFR) weather conditions. In addition, the applicants have agreed to
prohibit night time operations and will not allow fueling or maintenance activities at the
helistop.
After review of the applicant's petition, the City of Aventura Police Department offered
three comments: 1) The applicants shall provide a ground crew for each landing; 2) No
landings shall be permitted from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM; and 3) The applicants shall
obtain appropriate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approvals. The need for a
ground crew was incorporated into the site plan for the helistop through the installation
of a traffic control gate for the top level of the parking garage and the use of removable
barriers around the perimeter of the Final Approach and Take-Off (FATO) area.
because of these physical improvements, only a single security officer to staff the traffic
control swing-gate is required. The restriction of hours has been incorporated into the
site-specific conditions for approvals listed below. As explained above, the applicants
have already secured required FAA and FDOT approvals, and require only submission
of proof of local government approval to conclude this process.
(c) The proposed use shall be consistent with the community character of the
immediate neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed helistop use is consistent with the immediate neighborhood, a large
regional retail mall bounded on the south by a limited access highway. The proposed
primary approach and departure corridor closely parallels the route of the William
Lehman Causeway, a six-lane limited access highway. The highest levels of noise will
occur within the highway right-of-way and in the parking lot of the mall. To reduce the
possibility of adverse noise impact, the applicants have agreed to restrict operations at
the helistop to the hours of 8:00 AM to dusk weekdays and 10:00 AM to dusk on
weekends and holidays.
4
(d) 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 these LDRs.
The proposed helistop is expected to have no adverse impact on established level of
service standards. Emergency service response time for ambulance service to the
Aventura Mall is expected to improve due to the greater accessibility for flight-for-life
response to the mall.
(e) 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.
Access and egress to the helistop will be provided by the internal circulation system of
the malt and the Bloomingdale's parking garage. Some emergency services equipment
will not be able to access the helistop because of height limitations in the parking
garage, but as indicated in a letter from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department (Exhibit
#5) this should not create a significant problem. Otherwise, the installation of the
helistop is expected to have no effect on traffic congestion on the public streets of the
city,
(f) The establishment of the conditional use shall not impede the development of
surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district.
Only two undeveloped sites exist in the vicinity of the development. The Classic
Residence by Hyatt, located approximately 800 feet to the east of the helistop, has
received administrative site plan approval. Should that development proceed to
construction, the helistop's secondary (east) approach path shall be deleted. The other
undeveloped parcel, the Turnberry M-1 site, immediately north of the Classic
Residence, is owned by the applicants. Development of the M-1 parcel may be affected
by the proposed helistop. The applicants acknowledge that they must take this into
consideration in the their future planning for the M-1 site.
(g) 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 helistop will generate a noise impact that will be audible from outside the
boundary of the applicant's property. However, because of the location of the facility
within the mall property and adjacent to a six lane limited access highway it is expected
that these impacts will be minimal. The operations plan submitted to FDOT and the FAA
proposes to use the highway as the primary approach and departure path. The
applicants have agreed to limit the hours of operation and prohibit any type of
commercial usage. Staff believes that the potential emergency service benefits of the
helistop outweigh the potential noise impacts.

Re: Aventura Mall ! Proposed Helistop
Dear Ms. Kelley:
Aventura Mall is proposing to allow for a private helistop (limited to use by Miami-Dade
Air & Rescue, Police, Turnberry Associates and related partners). Under your new
proposed zoning regulations, it is my understanding this is a conditional use.
Accordingly, we are requesting the conditional use to allow for the helistop.
The actual helistop will be located on the top of the parking garage next to the
Bloomingdale's store. An overall site plan is provided. In addition, a roof top sketch of
the landing area is also submitted. This has been reviewed with the FDOT Aviation
Programs Administrator. Certain comments were made which have been incorporated as
part of the attached plans. Concurrently, the F.A.A. is in the process of checking the
airspace around the helistop.
Lighting is located on the parking deck in accordance with the F.A.A. requirement. The
approach to the garage is from the west. The area although, currently designated as
parking spaces, would be cordoned off when the helicopter arrival is anticipated.
Regardless, there is surplus parking in the overall Aventura Mall. Accordingly, the
elimination of these spaces, even on a temporary basis, does not create a parking problem
for the mall. Setbacks from the edge of the parking garage have been shown. We believe
this clearly shows the ability of the helicopter to land and to depart without interfering
with buildings or vehicular traffic. It should also be noted that the approach is such that
the residential properties should not be disturbed by the landing or take-off of the
helicopter.

On a property the size of Aventura Mall, the ability to provide this helipad service is
essential. It allows for emergency access in the event this was needed without having to
deal with traffic at grade level. This could serve both for emergencies within the mall or
possibly, emergencies in the area. The helistop would also be beneficial for the removal
of cash receipts and related business functions.
As you know, Aventura Mall is approximately 100 acres. The proposed helistop is
located at the southern portion of the mall. Accordingly, it is removed substantially from
the existing residential development. The area to the south is the 192na Street Causeway
with office and commercial uses adjacent on the opposite side of the causeway. Any
approach to the area from Biscayne Boulevard would result in travel over the mall
parking area.
We further believe the proposed use shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use shall not be detrimental
to or endanger the public health, safety, cBmfort or general welfare. The proposed use
shall be consistent with the community character of the immediate neighborhood of the
proposed use as a regional mall next to major roadways. We believe this condition is
satisfied. Utilities, roadway capacity, drainage and other necessary public facilities,
including police, fire; emergency services will be enhanced by the addition of the
helistop. The establishment of the conditional use should not impede the development
and improvement of surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district. The
design of the proposed use should minimize adverse effects due to its location on the
southern area of the mall.
We believe the proposed helistop meets requirements for a conditional use. Its location is
such that it should be compatible and not create problems for any adjacent property
owners and specifically any residential property owners. We believe this does provide a
benefit both to the mall but also to the area residents in the event of an emergency such as
a medical emergency.
In closing, we request your favorable review and consideration.

RE.: Aeronautical Study 99-ASO-3093-NRA
Adventura Mall, Adventura, Florida
We reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 7480-1, Notice of Landing Area
Proposal, dated May 2, 1999.
We have determined that the proposed private use landing area, to be located at latitude
25o57'18.33"N., longitude 080o08'26.16"W., (NAD 83) will not adversely affect the safe and
efficient use of the navigable airspace by aircratt, provided:
a. All operations are conducted in VFK weather conditions.
b. The landing area is limited to private use.
c. All approach and departure route helicopter operations are conducted in an area from 230 degrees
clockwise to 345 using the touchdown pad as the center of a compass rose.
d. The takeoff/landing area is appropriately marked.
e. A non-obstructing wind indicator is maintained adjacent to the takeoff/landing area.
We recommend that:
a. No night helicopter operations be conducted unless the takeoff/landing area and wind indicator
are lighted and a heliport identification beacon is installed.
b. Unauthorized persons be restrained from access to the takeoff/landing area during helicopter
flight operations by use of a non-obstructing safety barrier.
c. Fire protection be provided in accordance with the local fire code and/or AC 150/5390-2&
"Heliport Design Guide."

d. The proponent refer to AC 150/5390-2A, "Heliport Design Guide," in establishing an acceptable
level of safety for helicopter operations at this heliport.
e. Approach and departure paths from heliports should meet the standards depicted in Figure 1-6 of
AC 150/5390-2A, Heliport Design, copy enclosed.
The void date of this determination is August 10, 2001. If the landing area is not completed by the
void date, this determination will expire unless you have requested an extension, revision, or earlier
termination. Please notify the FAA within 15 days of completing the'landing area by calling the FAA
Area Flight Service Station serving your landing area and returning the enclosed FAA Form 5010-5
to this office.
This determination does not mean that the FAA approves the physical development involved with
your proposed landing area. Our determination is limited to the safe and efficient use of airspace by
aircraft. Our review considered the effect the proposal would have on the following:
· Existing or contemplated traffic patterns of neighboring airports,
· Existing, navigable airspace and projected programs of the FAA, and
· Existing or proposed manmade objects on file with the FAA and natural objects.
This determination does not preempt or waive any ordinance, law, or regulation of any other
governmental body or agency.
The FAA cannot prevent the construction of any object. Therefore, it is conceivable that your
facility could be adversely affected by an object being constructed nearby unless you are protected
through such means as local ordinances and/or acquisition of property rights.
A general ordinance of the State of Florida provides that certain airport constructions or alterations
require a written permit prior to construction. The contact for the State of Florida Department of
Transportation in Miami is Mr. David P. Bjorneboe, (305) 377-5912.
Please let us know if you have any questions concerning this determination.

Re: Aventura Mall-Helistop
Dear Mr. Gannett:
Per your request, Captain Walter Bryant, Air Operations OIC, visited the proposed
site and found that our rescue trucks require 9.5 ft. clearance to reach the upper
deck of the parking garage. The current clearance for vehicle access is only 7 ft.
Therefore, velficle access is not possible. However, the elevators w/il
accommodate a stretcher with backboard allowing patient access from ground level
to the upper deck helistop.
Based upon your proposal, when you receive approval from the Florida Department
of Transportation and the issuance of an operational license, Miami-Dade Fire
Rescue/Air Operations will use the approved helistop to facilitate the evacuation of
patients from the Aventura surrouading area. The Aventura Mall helistop
provide an immediate resource to facilitate an orgarfized and safe evacuation
without affecting congested transportation arteries.
If you trove further questions, please contact Captain Walter F. Bryant at 305-233-
5000.

Re: A ventura Mall Helistop / Securitv / Parkin\:! Surplus
Dear Brenda:
As a follow up to our discussion on 6/5/00, we will address your concern that mall patrons
may inadvertantly park within the Helistop area by proffering the following conditions:
1. The perimeter of the Helistop (safety area) shall be surrounded by fixed cones indicating that
parking is not allowed within the area (year round).
2. Mall garage security will be on call at all times to patrol the top floor of the parking garage.
3. Mall garage security will control vehicle access to the top floor of the parking garage by
closing a swing gate.
In response to your concern that the Helistop will adversely impact parking conditions at the
Aventura Mall, please take note that we presently have a surplus of 763 spaces. In the event
Macy's and Lord and Taylor's complete their expansion, the Mall will still have a surplus of
455 spaces (see Aventura Mall Site Plan! Total Mall Expansion drawing number #1 dated
7/14/97).

This amends our airspace determination of August 10,1999. Provision "c." should be
changed to read: "All approach and departure route helicopter operations are
conducted in an' area from 900 clockwise to 3450 using the touchdown pad as the

Request of Starbucks Coffee for a sign variance to permit a second wall
sign at their existing store at 19127 Biscayne Boulevard. (04-SV-00)
June 6, 2000 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the request for a Sign Variance in
that it meets the criteria for granting of variances found in the City's Sign Ordinance.
THE REQUEST
The applicant, Lockwood Sign Group for Starbucks Coffee, Inc., is requesting a
variance to permit a second wall sign of 16 square feet on the north elevation of their
cafe at 19127 Biscayne Boulevard where only one wall sign is allowed by the City's
Sign Code. (See Exhibit #1 for Letter of Intent).

The Site - The subject site, Starbucks Cafe, is one of three businesses located in
Outparcel Two (the new "Hemisphere Bank Building") of Champion Retail Plaza at the
northeast corner of Biscayne Boulevard and NE 191 Street. Because of its location on
the northwest corner of the new building, Starbucks Cafe is not a corner location as
defined in the City's Sign Code (See attached Exhibit #2 for location map and Exhibit
#3 for aerial photo).
The Project - Starbucks Cafe is requesting a sign variance to permit a second wall
sign, four feet in diameter and 16 square feet in area on the north frontage of the store.
A channel letter sign, 21 square feet in area, was previously approved by the City for
the west frontage of the store in February 2000.
ANALYSIS
Citizen Comments- The Community Development Department has received no
written citizen comments.
2
Community Development Department Analysis - Outparcel Two of Champion Retail
Plaza is located at the corner of NE 191 Street and Biscayne Boulevard. The building
contains three tenant spaces. Hemisphere Bank is the largest space, and is the
designated corner location for the purposes of the City's Sign Code. Starbucks Coffee
and an optical store take up the other two spaces. The Starbucks store has a 35 foot
frontage on Biscayne Boulevard and a 64 foot frontage to the north. On July 9, 1998
the Aventura City Commission, in Resolution 98-51 (see Exhibit #4) approved a Multi-
Tenant Center application for signage at Champion Retail Center. However, Resolution
98-51 specifically requires the Outparcel Two building to conform to the City's Sign
Code. In February 2000 Starbucks received a sign permit for the installation of a 21
square foot channel letter sign of the west (Biscayne Boulevard) frontage. The
applicants are requesting a variance for a 16 square foot wall sign on the north
elevation. This sign will allow patrons at other stores in the Champion Retail Plaza to
find the cafe from the interior of the shopping center. The small size of the sign, the
installation of trees adjacent to the north frontage of the building and the location of a
travel agency building on Biscayne Boulevard just north of the new bank building
effectively screen the sign from the street.
Criteria
The criteria for approval of sign variances as required by the City of Aventura Sign
Ordinance (No. 97-17) requires:
The sign variance maintains the basic intent and purpose of the regulations,
particularly as it affects the stability and appearance of the City and provided that
the Variance will be otherwise compatible with the surrounding land uses and
would not be detrimental to the community. No showing of unnecessary
hardship is required.
The requested sign variance does promote the stability and appearance of the City.
The City's sign ordinance allows the applicant to install one wall sign of 64 square feet
on the building. The applicant has instead chosen to install a 21 square foot sign facing
Biscayne Boulevard and request a variance for a 16 square foot sign facing north, into
the shopping center. The total area of the two signs together is less that permitted
under the sign code for the one allowable sign. The size of the proposed north sign is
in keeping with the applicant's expressed purpose of allowing patrons at other shops in
the shopping center to find the cafe. This is in keeping with the basic purpose of the
City's sign ordinance, which is to allow signage that serves a legitimate directional
purpose while discouraging signage that functions primarily as a marketing or publicity
device.

RE: Letter of Intent for Starbucks Coffee, 19127 Biscayne Blvd.,
Aventura, FL
Dear Brenda:
Lockwood Sign Group, an agent of Starbucks Coffee, respectfully
requests approval of a variance for additional signage at the above mentioned
location.
This location is set back from the intersection, and the visibility of existing
signage has been encumbered. A 48" illuminated flush logo, with total square
footage of 12.57 square feet, would significantly improve our client's visibility.
The logo disc is proposed for the North elevation.
Ms. Patti Shore, from Interstate Sign Crafters will be representing
Lockwood Sign Group at this variance hearing. Interstate will be installing the
Starbucks logo, if approved. She will be on hand to answer any questions. If you
have any additional questions, please contact me at 1-888-722-1556.

June 6, 2000 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission deny the request of Chabad House of North
Dade for an extension of the permit to use a temporary trailer for worship services during
construction of the permanent facility, due to its failure to comply with previously granted
approvals.
REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a further extension of time from June 15, 2000 to December 31,
2000 to permit the use of a temporary trailer for worship services pending completion of
construction of the permanent facility and NE 210 Street.
CURRENT STATUS OF APPROVALS
The applicant was issued a building permit for temporary trailer to be used as a religious
facility during construction of the permanent facility on the site. The permit for the temporary
trailer expired on Mamh 30, 1999. Prior to the expiration of the permit, the applicant
requested that staff extend the permit. Staff denied the request and informed the applicant
that staffs decision could be appealed to the City Commission.
On May 4, 1999, the applicant appeared in front of the City Commission to appeal staff's
decision and request an extension of the permit of the temporary trailers in order to have
additional time in which to complete construction of the permanent facility. The City
Commission approved that request subject to the following conditions:

a Certificate of Occupancy for the permanent facility.
In light of the approval granted on May 4, 1999, the applicant has:
1. Obtained the master building permit for the permanent facility on June 3, 1999.
2. Submitted to the City a recorded cross-parking agreement.
3. Submitted to the City an Improvement Agreement. This agreement was not recorded
because it agrees to complete the construction of NE 210 Street prior to issuance of
the Certificate of Occupancy for the permanent facility.

Chabad House of North Dade, Inc.
Temporary Trailer Building Permit
Dear Mr. Soroka:
This office continues to represent Chabad House Of North Dade, Inc. (Chahad) with respect to
thc construction of their permanent facility within thc City of Aventura. In conjunction with that
construction the City of Aventura City Council authorized the extension of their Temporary
Trailer Building Permit until Sanu~y 15, 2000, predicated upon their having complied with
· certain prerequisites set forth in that Resolution.
In conformity with the contingencies set forth in thc Resolution, my client has effectively
performed a substantial portion of the prerequisites, however, there were substantial initial delays
in the securing of the agreement with Menorah Funeral Home as a result of a change i~
ownership between thc timc thc initial agrcemcnt was contemplated and thc a¢tual agreement
was to bc cxecutcd. In addition, the financing provided by Peninsula Bank contemplated the
commltlnelltS of certain Synagogue members to ra_.~e conlribulions toward the building fund,
which unfortunately have not come to fruition. Accordingly, at this lime my client is unable to
complete the construction of the building and the conslruction of 210~ Street within the
timeframes contemplated.
It is respectfully submitted that Chabad had utilized its best efforts to comply with thc City's
requirements and sincerely believe they have made great strides forward since this Board's
approvals, It is obvious that this non-profit entity is striving to achieve its goal of having a house
of worship and certainly it can bc appreciated that they would much prefer praying in that house
of worship rather than in temporary Irailer, however, notwithstanding their desire they are
subject to the cormnitments of others who do not always fulfill their commitments,
We sincerely believe that if this Board will grant one final extension until December 31, 2000,
my clients will be able to secure thc remaining monies needed and committed to complete this

Re:

Dear Brenda:
In connection with the captioned and in response to your letter of April 1, 1999, please be
advised that the Agreement concerning the completion of construction o£N. E. 210th Street has
been modified so as to comport with the City Attorney's and your suggestions, and is provided
for your review. It will be signed and delivered to you prior to the City Council meeting of May
4, 1999.
The Cross-Parking Agreement has previously been submitted to you and to the City Attorney for
his review and if it is acceptable will be recorded in the Public Records of Miami-Dade County,
Florida, with the original being forwarded to your office a~:Ser k is returned from the County
Records.
I believe that, in conformity with prior discussions between you and I and the City Building
Officials, the site has been improved and with the delivery of the docmnents referred to above I
believe all requirements for the issuance of a Building Permit have been submitted. If I am
incorrect in this regard please advise what remains to accomplish Substantial Compliance.
Turning now to your letter of April 1, 1999 and the timeframes that you have requested, please
be advised of the following contemplated construction timeframe, to-wit:
City of Aventura 2 April 29, 1999
1. Chabad will, within thirty (30) days of the issuance of a Building Permit secure
the same from the City and commence construction.
2. Chabad will complete construction of the development within one (1) year from
the date the City of Aventura issues its Building Permit for the construction of this
project.
3. Chabad will complete all improvements to N. E. 210th Street within one (1) year
from the date the City of Aventura issues its Building Permit for the construction of this
project.
· ! would.,hope that the foregoing correctly sets forth the current stares of the captioned matter,
however, if it does not please advise as to any deficiencies or errors. Please keep in mind that the
securing of the Cross Parking Agreement has been a major deterrent to this project going
forward. In addition to the City requiring the same for permitting the lenders contacted by
Chabad have evidenced their inability to provide financing without this Cross Parking
Agreement having been accomplished. In that regard, prior to the hearing on May 4, 1999 before
the City Council I should have in hand a letter from a lending institution evidencing their
agreement to fund a construction loan to Chabad.
Let me thank you for your courtesy and cooperation herein and with warmest personal regards I
remain,

Re: Chabad House
Dear Brenda:
I apologize for not having provided you with the recorded Cross Parking Agreement, however, it
apparently was returned from the Courthouse and placed in the file without my noticing.
I have reminded my client that June 15, 2000 is the deadline for securing the Ce~]ficate of
Occupancy and hopefully they will complete the building on time and secure the stone in due
COurse.
To you and all of my friends at the City, I sincerely appreciate your prayers and concerns and

and will soon be back at the office.

Subject: Bid # 00-05-03-3 (N.E. 34 Avenue & Yacht Club Drive).
Dear Mx. Marcos
Sportslighter Electric Inc. will respond as follows to your fax dated May 16,
2000. You have requested clarification for the tine item marked FP&.L Service Fees
in our bid schedule of values, in which we bid "no fees."
1. Per the general notes marked on sheet E-1 note # 16. (Contractor shall
coordinate with FP&.L company representative for the exact location of the electrical
service.) Sportslighter Electric contacted Mr. Rick Radcliff of FP&L before we
submitted our bid and inquired as to what locations and costs were to be associated
with these two new roadway lighting services. Ms. Radcliff explained there would be
no cost or fees because these electrical sereices will tie into the existing transformers.
In conversation with Mr. Radcliff today, he said only one transformer was existing
and there would be a fee of $ 9000.00 Therefore our bid is non responsive.
2. We also missed the cost for the construction bond in our bid.
3. Based on the above referenced items, Sportslighter Electric would like to
request a retraction of our bid on this project- Please award this contract to the
second responsive bidder.
Sincerely, __ .

Enclosed please find a copy of the resolution adopted by the Mediterranean
Village Associations regarding the above referenced application to change the
Master Comprehensive Plan from residential to business {B2) for this site.
Residents at large of Williams Island do not want this land usage altered and
join with the residents of Mediterranean Village in protesting this ordinance
change. There was a meeting on Friday, June 2nd, with unit owners of Williams
Island and the Developer, where residents voiced their protest en masse.
The Developer announced they have withdrawn the application for the June
6th hearing. City employees have advised residents this morning that the hearing
commissioners decide whether to accept the deferral or not. The Mediterranean
Village would like the deferral accepted as residents that were going to attend
tonight's meeting were advised by Williams Island that the application was
definately deferred. The residents want to attend any hearing on the subject.

Re: Application number 01-CPA-00
Applicant Williams Island Development,
ATTENTION: TERESA M. SOROKA, CMC, CITY CLERK
Dear Ms. Soroka,
My wife and ! are residents and citizens of the City of
Aventura. We live at 1000 Island Boulevard, Williams Island,
Aventura, Florida, Apartment 2209 and will be away on June 6, 2000.
My wife and I wish to go on record and would appreciate this
lette: being read into the record with regard to the above
application, which I believe seeks authorization for the use of
property within the williams Island Development for a five storied
o~fice building.
My wife and I moved to Williams Island and expended a large
sum of money for a condominium apartment with the understanding
that it would be a purely residential development - and a private
residential development. It would be totally inappropriate to
allow commercial usage of property within the Williams Island
Development. If you add up the value of the apartments in Williams
Island and divide by the number o£ acres, you will find that it is
one of the most expensive and exclusive residential areas in the
8tare Of Florida. It is a double gated community. I am told that
there are over eighty persons employed in the security of williams
Island, To allow a coramercial business and office usage of
property in Williams Island would be totally in conflict with the
nature, quality and high tone residential community which we
presently enjoy and would in my opinion, daraage the value o~ the
condominium units in addition to being an inconsistent use of the
land.
JUN-~-~ 15:~ FROM:LEWIS M.RESS.P.A. 50598155~6 TO:?I~ 57~ 7010 P.00~~00B
If the developer is merely relocating its offices to be on a
permanenn basis, then should they take down their existing offices
and not replace them w~th any type of commercial usage, and
providing there was a covenant running with the land, I would have
no objection tO a two storied building for offices at the present
location of the Island 9hoppe, with the understanding that ~his
would be used solely and exclusively for the developer's offices
and for no other purpose and that no Outside tenants or commercial
activities would be allowed. This building could house %he same
s%ore that presently exists, an office for the marina and an office
~or the developer. It would further be appropriate to establish
roper controls of pedestrian traffic, since evidently outside
- ...... l~nd ~roDerty in order to
persons are coming on to the Wll±lams Ab : ~ ,,
use ~he Island ShopDe and are walking around williams Island. Ihis
creates a significant security risk,
I thank you for your consideration o~ the above.

City may want to conduct a facilities analysis based on the current and proposed land uses. My
staff is available to work with the City and SFRPC to resolve these issues.
This letter and the enclosed external agency comments are being issued pursuant to Rule
9J-11.010, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The process for adoption of local
comprehensive plan amendments is outlined in s. 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Rule 9J-

LEGAL DESCRIPTION
None.
LOCATION OF PROPERTY
The right-of-way of NE 203 Street from the
Biscayne Boulevard right-of-way on the west to
the right-of-way of NE 30 Avenue on the east.
(See Exhibit #1 for Location Map and Exhibit
#2 for Aerial Photo)
SIZE OFPROPERTY
Approximately 4.2 acres.
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
On December 15, 1998 the Aventura City Commission approved the City of Aventura
Comprehensive Plan. The Future Functional Classification and Number of Lanes Map
(Map 2-5) of the Comprehensive Plan's Transportation Element designated Ives Dairy
Road (NE 203 Street) from Biscayne Boulevard to NE 30 Avenue as a Limited Access
Highway. (See existing Map 2-5 attached as Exhibit #3) Subsection 334.03(13), Florida
Statutes, defines a "limited access facility" as "a street or highway especially designed
for through traffic, and over, from, or to which owners or occupants of abutting land or
other persons have no right or easement of access, light, air or view by reason of the
fact that their property abuts upon said limited access facility or for any other reason."
This designation was a scrivener's error. Ives Dairy Road at this location is not a State
highway and does not have the necessary design features to permit such a designation.
The Florida Department of Transportation has no plans to assume responsibility for the
roadway, or to improve the roadway east of the present Ives Dairy Road/Biscayne
Boulevard interchange construction project during the 20-year planning horizon of the
Comprehensive Plan. The roadway is anticipated to remain a local collector with four
undivided lanes.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve a Comprehensive Plan
amendment to change the land use designation of the Turnberry Resort and
Country Club site from Parks and Recreation to Business and Office.
THE REQUEST
The Applicant, the City of Aventura Community Development Department, is
requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the land use
designation of the Turnberry Resort and Country Club site from Parks and
Recreation to Business and Office to bring the site's current zoning classification
of B2 (Community Business District) into conformity with the Comprehensive
Plan.
BACKGROUND
At its February 1, 2000 meeting, the City Commission approved at first reading
the following regular (non-small scale) comprehensive plan amendment:
Case Number
Name Description Size
01g-CPA-99
Turnberry Isle
Resort
Parks and Recreation
to
Business and Office
15.44 ac
On April 9, 2000 the DCA informed the City's Community Development
Department that it had no objection to the amendment. (DCA notification letter
attached as Exhibit #1) As a result, the City Commission may, if it so chooses,
approve the amendment without change on second and final reading. If approved
by the City Commission, the amendment will be in force immediately upon
adoption.
On March 6, 2000 the South Florida Planning Council (SFRPC) reviewed the
City's February amendment package. The Council found amendment 01g-CPA-
99 to be inconsistent with several policies of the SRPP. (See SFRPC report
attached as Exhibit #2) The primary concern of the Council was the possible
traffic impacts if the Turnberry Isle Resort site should be rebuilt as an office
building development under B2 zoning district regulations in the event of
catastrophic destruction. City Staff has compiled traffic projections that indicate
that the traffic impact of a maximum potential development under such a
scenario is less than that generated by the maximum potential development
allowed under the original Miami-Dade County development approval. Staff is of
the opinion that the concerns expressed by the Council result from a
misunderstanding of how the Future Land Use Maps (FLUM) of the City and
County compare. Because it covers a land area of almost 350 square miles, the
County's FLUM is highly generalized and contains an interpretation section over
50 pages long. The discussion of the Parks and Recreation land use category of
the County's comprehensive plan states:
"Certain commercial activities that support the recreational uses
and relate to the resources of the park, such as marine supply
stores, fuel docks or tennis and golf clubhouses may be considered
for approval in the Parks and Recreation category. Other
commercial recreational, entertainment or cultural uses may also
be considered for approval"
Furthermore, the County zoning in place on the site at the time the City adopted
its own zoning code was BU-2, a much less restrictive designation than the City's
B2 designation.
On the other hand, with a coverage of only 3.5 square miles, the City's FLUM is
very precise with category lines that follow existing parcel boundaries. The City's
proposed amendment changes the 15.4 acre site of the Tumberry Isle resort
from Parks and Recreation (mirroring the County's former plan category) to
Business and Office, a designation compatible with the site's B2 (Community
Business) zoning and the previous County zoning of BU-2.

THE REQUEST
The Applicant, the City of Aventura Community Development Department, is requesting

On December 15, 1998 the Aventura City Commission approved the City of Aventura
Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan
designated the Turnberry Golf Course Parks and recreation, in conformance with
existing Miami-Dade County plan designation. On July 13, 1999 the City Commission
approved the City of Aventura Land Development Regulations (LDRs). The adopted
zoning map contained in the LDRs designated a zoning of ROS (Recreation Open
Space) for the golf course and B2 (Community Business District). After the adoption of
the LDRs City Staff determined that the resort's B2 zoning designation was not
consistent with the Recreation and Open Space plan designation. Because the B2
zoning designation is consistent with the site's present use, Staff recommended that the
City change the plan designation to Business and Office to bring the Comprehensive
Plan and LDRs into conformity.

The Department has one comment regarding the Future Land Use Map amendment for
the Turnberry Isles Resort and Country Club. The South Florida Regional Planning Council
(SFRPC) had issues with the potential impacts to infrastructure and found the amendment
generally inconsistent with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida. The
Department recommends the City coordinate with the SFRPC to address these concerns. The
City may want to conduct a facilities analysis based on the current and proposed land uses. My
staffis available to work with the City and SFRPC to resolve these issues.
This letter and the enclosed external agency comments are being issued pursuant to Rule
9J-11.010, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The process for adoption of local
comprehensive plan amendments is outlined in s. 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Rule 9J-
11.011,F.A.C. Upon receipt of this letter, the City has 60 days in which to adopt, adopt with
changes, or determine that the City will not adopt the proposed amendment. The process for

Dear Mayor Snyder:
At its March 6, 2000 meeting, the Council found amendment No. 2 of proposed amendment
package #00-1 to the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan to be generally inconsistent with the
Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida (SRPP). Specifically, this amendment, which would
change a 15.44-acre parcel from Parks and Recreation to Business and Office, conflicts with the
following goals and policies of the SRPP.
Strategic Regional Goal
2.3
Enhance the economic competitiveness of the region and ensure the adequacy of its
public facilities and services by eliminating the existing backlog, meeting the need for
growth in a timely manner, improving the quality of services provided and pursuing
cost-effectiveness and equitability in their production, delivery and financing.
Regional Policies
2.3.4
Decisions regarding the location, rate and intensity of development shall be based on the
existing or programmed capacity of infrastructure and support services or on capacity
which will be programmed to serve that development; in addition, consideration should
be given to the impact of infrastructure and support services on natural resources.
2.3.19
Permit new development only when and where adequate excess capacity exists, is
programmed or where funding to expand that capacity is otherwise made available;
consider permitting new infill development or redevelopment in approved
Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas.
Strategic Regional Goal
3.3 Achieve improved air quality throughout the region through a reduction of transportation
related impacts and the increased use of natural planl~tgs.
Regional Policies
3.3.6
Proposed development shall be reviewed with respect to the potential for related
impacts to the regional air quality, and negative impacts eliminated or effectively
mitigated.

DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
On December 15, 1998 the Aventura City Commission approved the City of Aventura
Comprehensive Plan. At the time, this segment of NE 213 Street had not yet been built.
Because the roadway's configuration was not finalized, it was not possible to determine
if it should be classified as Local Urban Collector or Urban Collector. The construction of
the roadway has recently been completed. Its configuration and function are best
described by the Comprehensive Plan's Local Urban Collector functional classification.
The two roadways that intersect the new NE 213 Street at its east end, NE 34 Avenue
and Yacht Club Drive, are also Local Urban Collector roads. Designation as a Local
Urban Collector will require new developments along the road to locate driveways and
install buffer areas and supporting infrastructure of a design more compatible with the
transportation function of collector roads than that required in the City's Land
Development Regulations for local streets.

Dear Mayor Snyder:
The Department has completed its review of the proposed Comprehensive Plan
Amendment for the City of Aventura (DCA No. 00-1), which was submitted on February 7,
2000. Copies of the proposed amendment have been distributed to the appropriate state, regional
and local agencies for their review, and their comments are enclosed. As the Department does not
have any objections, this letter serves as the Objections, Recommendation, and Comments
(CRC) Report.
The Department has one comment regarding the Future Land Use Map amendment for
the Tumberry Isles Resort and Country Club. The South Florida Regional Planning Council
(SFRPC) had issues with the potential impacts to infrastructure and found the amendment
generally inconsistent with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida. The
Department recommends the City coordinate with the SFRPC to address these concerns. The
City may want to conduct a facilities analysis based on the current and proposed land uses. My
staff is available to work with the City and SFRPC to resolve these issues.
This letter and the enclosed external agency comments are being issued pursuant to Rule
9J-11.010, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The process for adoption of local
comprehensive plan amendments is outlined in s. 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Rule 9J-
11.011,F.A.C. Upon receipt of this letter, the City has 60 days in which to adopt, adopt with
changes, or determine that the City will not adopt the proposed amendment. The process for
adoption of local government comprehensive plan amendments is outlined in s. 163.3184, F.S.,
and Rule 9J-11.011, F.A.C.
Within ten working days of the date of adoption, the City must submit the following to

Aventura, FL 33180
Dear Mayor Snyder:
At its March 6, 2000 meeting, the Council found amendment No. 2 of proposed amendment
package #00-1 to the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan to be generally inconsistent with the
Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida (SRPP). Specifically, this amendment, which would
change a 15.44-acre parcel from Parks and Recreation to Business and Office, conflicts with the
following goals and policies of the SRPP.
Strategic Regional Goal
2.3
Enhance the economic competitiveness of the region and ensure the adequacy of its
public facilities and services by eliminating the existing backlog, meeting the need for
growth in a timely manner, improving the quality of services provided and pursuing
cost-effectiveness and equitability in their production, delivery and financing.
Regional Policies
2.3.4
Decisions regarding the location, rate and intensity of development shall be based on the
existing or programmed capacity of infrastructure and support services or on capacity
which will be programmed to serve that development; in addition, consideration should
be given to the impact of infrastructure and support services on natural resources.
2.3.19
Permit new development only when and where adequate excess capacity exists, is
programmed or where funding to expand that capacity is otherwise made available;
consider permitting new infill development or redevelopment in approved
Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas.
Strategic Regional Goal
3.3 Achieve improved air quality throughout the region through a reduction of transportation
related impacts and the increased use of natural plantings.
Regional Policies
3.3.6
Proposed development shall be reviewed with respect to the potential for related
impacts to the regional air quality, and negative impacts eliminated or effectively
mitigated.

DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
Not applicable
Not applicable
The 1994 Florida Legislature added several new provisions relating to the
Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE) of local comprehensive plans to Section
163.3177, Florida Statutes. Local governments are required to include these new
requirements into their plans. The subjects of these requirements include provisions for
joint planning prior to incorporations or annexations; public school siting and location
planning; siting of facilities of county-wide significance; and the need for local
governments to provide notice of impending land use changes to nearby landowners
regardless of whether they are located in a different jurisdiction.
Local jurisdictions are required to comply with these requirements by December 31,
1999. The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) issued a Notice to Find in
Compliance the City of Aventura's new Comprehensive Plan on February 15, 1999, well
after the new regulations were incorporated into state statutes. As a result, staff is of the
opinion that the current City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan is currently in compliance.
However, DCA has requested that the City voluntarily amend its Comprehensive Plan to
include language it believes is beneficial. After review of DCA request, City staff agreed
to add six new policies to Objective One of the Intergovernmental Coordination
Element.
ANALYSIS
Future Land Use Designation - All proposed policies will be effective citywide. No
specific parcels of land are involved.
Zoning - All proposed policies will be effective citywide. No specific parcels of land are
involved.
Existing Land Use - All proposed 3olicies will be effective citywide. No specific parcels
of land are involved.
Access - Not applicable.
Conformity to City Comprehensive Plan - The amendment is consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. The amendment will not result in impacts on any
infrastructure system that will exceed established Level of Service standards.
3
Conformity to City Land Development Regulations - The change in designation will
result in no new zoning non-conformities.
Coastal High Hazard Location - Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission: 1) approve a Comprehensive Plan
amendment to add six new policies to Objective One of the Intergovernmental
Coordination Element; and 2) approve the transmittal of the amendment to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs.

S. 1028 "Citizens Access To Justice Act Of 1999" (Takings bill}
It is anticipated that S. 1028, "The Citizens Access to Justice Act of 1999", will be scheduled
for mark-up and a vote during June in the Senate Judiciary Committee without hearings held first
to allow NLC and other state and local governn~nt associations the opportunity to air their
concerns (Below you will find talking points, a drat~ letter, and a list of the members of the
Senate Judiciary Comnnttea )
ACTION REQUESTED:
Senators Mack and Graham do not serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee, but it is
important that they know our opposition to this bill. please ask them to convey their
opposition to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Urge them to ask Senator
On'in Hatch (R-Utah), Judiciary Committee Chair, to hold a hearing prior to any mark-up
of S. 1028, and to oppose this bill for the following reasons:
TALKING POLNTS:
· This bill is a direct attack on existing, viable state and local processes;
h is inappropriate for S. 1028 to be marked-up and voted out of committee without a prior
hearing to allow stakeholders to air their concerns. The fact that this bill is similar to one
introduced by the Senate in the last Congress is irrelevant. That bill failed a cloture vote
which indicates that Senators had concerns about its ramifications. Only a hearing can get
these concerns included in the debate on this likely Senate move to preempt local authority;
and
S. 1028 constitutes a massive preemption of local governing authority. It would l:ermit
landowners and developers to bypass state courts, local planning commissions, and city
councils to take their land use grievances directly into federal court, S. 1028 federalizes land
use laws! It dramatically increases the role of the federal courts in supervising
decisions traditionally left to state and local governments.

EL League of Cities 6/5/00 4:36: PAGE 3/4 RightFA×
This bill not only threatens local zoning powers, but also local police powers which serve as
safeguards for public health, safety and welfare. Takings cases have been brought against
cities for trying to regulate prostitution, illegal drug trafficking, topless dancing, and liquor
licensing. This bill seeks to radically alter the procedure by which these, and other takings
claims are heard,
This legislation would overtum existing law which requires that state courts review local
land use decisions before a case can be brought in, or is "ripe" for, federal court The
Supreme Court requires that in order to present a ripe taking claim in federal court, a taking
claimant most: (1) present a "final decision regarding the application of the regulations to the
property at issue" from "the governmental entity charged with implementing the regulations";
and (2) demonstrate that the claimant requested "compensation through the procedures the
State has provided for doing so." In other words, a property owner must first make every
effort to resolve land use disputes through the local public hearing, review and appeals
process before going into federal court. The proposed legislation would essentially
eliminate both prongs of this established Supreme Court ripeness test.
The Fifth Amendment to the U.S, Constitution delicately balances the needs of landowners
and developers with the needs of the community as a whole If S 1028 passes, it will force
local communities to permat uses of property that will harm others,

Dear Senator:
As the (Mayor/Councilmember of ....... ) I am writing to express my (our) strong opposition
to S. 1028, "The Citizens Access to Justice Act of 1[ ¢ ~ INs bill is a direct attack on existing,
viable state and local processes, and it constitutes a rnassive preemption of local govervdng
authority. It would permit landowners and developers to bypass state courts, local planning
comrmssions, and city councils to take their land use ghevances directly into federal court.
It would federalize our municipal land use laws, and would dramatically increase the role of the
federal courts in supervising decisions traditionally lef~ to state and local government,
The bill not only threatens our local zoning powers, but also local police powers which serve as
safeguards for pubhc health, safety and welfare Takings cases have been brought against cities
for trying to regulate prostitution, illegal drug trafficking, topless dancing, and hquor licensing.
This bill seeks to radically alter the procedure by which these, and other takings, claims are
heard.
It is inappropriate for S. 1028 to be marked-up and voted out of comrmttea without a prior
hearing to allow stakeholders to air their concerns Despite the fact that this bill is similar to one
introduced in the Senate during the 105*h Congress, th;s does not justify skipping the hearing
process. The earlier takings bill failed in a cloture vote which indicated that some Senators were
concerned about its ramifications. Only a hearing can get these concerns out in the open and
included in the debate on this latest Senate move to preempt local authority

S. 1028 would overturn ex/sting law which requires that state courts review local land use
decisions before a case can be brought in, or is .ripe. for federal court. The Supreme Court
requires that in order to present a ripe takings claim in t~deral court, a taking claimant must: (I)
present a "final decision regarding the application of the regulations to the property at issue"
from "the governmental entity charged with implementing the regulations"; and (2) demonstrate
that the claimant requested "compensation through the procedures the State has provided fbr
doing so," In other words, a property owner must first make every effort to resolve land
use disputes through the local public hearing, review, and appeals process before going into
federal court. The proposed legislation would essenfia~y eliminate both prongs of this
established Supreme Court ripeness test.
The Fifth Amendment to the U,S. Constitution delicately balances the needs of landowners and
developers with the needs of the community as a whole If S. 1028 passes, it will force local
conununities to permit uses of property that would harm others

a land-use and institutionalized persons bill and are reportedly close to an agreement. Once
agreement is reached, the bill (S. 208D will be on its way to the Senate floor for a vote. The
compromise bill would grant a civil fights carve-out which was not contained in the
original bffi, and would expressly preempt municipalities' land use and zoning powers as
they are applied to religious entities and their accessory uses. It also targets institutionalized
persons, eg. phsoners
It is anticipated that this bill will be brought to the flonr very soon after the Memorial Day
recess. The administration issued a statement last fall generally supporting this legislation with
the civil rights carve-out, During a recent meeting at the White House, NLC was told that the
administration wants to support S 2081
ACTION REQUESTED:
Senators Mack and Graham need to hear from local elected officials~ via phone calls and/or
faxes, as soon and as often as ~ossible or this bill will uass!:
It is also important that you contact Senator Trent Loth Senate Maioritv Leader. voicin~
your strone onoosition to S. 2081.
Attached are some brief talking points and a sample letter on the problems with this harmful
proposal

This misleading proposal holds nsany hannfol imphcations for cities Most importantly, it
serves as a massive federal preemption of local zoning authority for religious entities and
is a direct assault on our traditional notions of federalism Zoning and land use regulations
are purely local issues and should be dealt with at the local level. RLPA is not about
restrictions on individual religious exercis~
Passage of RLPA will subject local governments to a flood ofliti$ation that will attack their
efforts to coordinate zoning and land use regulations and uphold public safety, health, and
welfare concerns. Local govemmems often rely on religt°us institutions to provide social
services to the community and respect the placement of these institutions in their
communities. However, under this bill, religious institutions can exempt themselves
from neutral, generally applicable local environmental, land and building regulations
under the guise that to comply with these requirements would substantially burden
their ability to practice their religion.
RLPA fosters a double standard for the religious use versus the secular use in virtually
every area of local government regulation, creates a class of land uses that are treated
"specially" from all others, and would continue to pose the following problems (indicated in
the sample letter):
SAMPLE LETTER:
The Honorable
U.S Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator:
As (Mayor/Councilmember of....), I am writing to express in the strongest terms my opposition
to the latest compromise version orS. 2081, the Religious Liberty Protection Act (RLPA) This
misleading proposal holds many harmful implications for all cities Most importamly, it serves as
a massive federal preeraption of local zoning anthor~t' for religious entities and is a direct
assault on our traditional notions of federalism Zoning and land use regul~tions are purely local
issues and should be dealt with at the local level. This bill is not about restrictions on individual
reli~ous exercise.
The passage of the Religious Liberty Protection Act (RLPA) could subject my city to a flood of
litigation that will attack our efforts to coordinate zoning and land use regulations and uphold
public safety, health, and welfare concerns We often rely on religious institutions to provide
social services in (city) and we respect the placement of these institutions in our community.
However, under this bill (S. 2081), religious institutions can exempt themselves from
neutral, generally applicable local environmental, land and building regulations under the
guise that to comply with these requirements would substantiaBy burden their ability to
practice their religion.
RI.PA fosters a double standard for the religious use versus the secular use in virtually every
area of our local government regulation, creates a class ~l' land uses that are treated "specially"
from all others, and would continue to pose the following problems:
FL League of Cities 5/31100 11:52 PAGE 3/3 RightFAX
A religiously affiliated daycam center would receive special treatment under the RLPA (eg.
exemption from zoning, land use, health and safety code requirements and ordinances
regulating student/teacher ratios) whereas a secular daycam center would not.
Enforcement of state and local fire and building codes at the local level would be
severely compromised under the RLPA, Proponents of RLPA have suggested that it is
perfectly acceptable for religiously affiliated uses to provide alternatives to fire and building
code mqnirements if to comply with the latter is too burdensome. This position is
fmxtamentally flawed because it undennmes the locality% ability to adequately protect all of
its citizens from fires and building safety hazards by enforcing nationally accepted codes
developed over time by experts in the field, would permit people untrained in fire and
building safety to create untested standards for safety in a community that could not be
challenged, and would require a locality to enforce multiple "codes" depending upon whether
or not the use was a religiously affiliated one or not
Provides an exemption to the Americans with Disabilities Act for all new construction A
religiously affiliated use could claim that compliance with this federal law was "unduly
burdensome."
Continues to permit religious uses to circumvent environmental laws For example, a
religious use could object to complying with anti-toxic waste disposal laws on the grounds
that such laws were not the "least resntrictive means" for protection against hazardous wastes.
Continues to permit religious uses to circumvent historic preservation laws. The RLPA
standard of review will foreclose future opportunities for local communities to save
important historic landmarks
RLPA would have a chilling effect on the ability of local governments to work together
with religious property owners to reach a compromise position on zoning and land use
issues.
