In other words - you immediately recognize when you have arrived to Bal Harbour and you immediately know when you have left.

• Destination & Amenities - represented by the luxury hotels, eateries, and high-end boutiques and shopping available, in our beautiful setting.

“The Bal Harbour Experience” was initially defined at the first annual Bal Harbour Village Council Retreat in November 2017. It is that distinctive feeling one experiences when living in or visiting our unique, exclusive, curated and refined community. Developing funding strategies, initiatives and programming that will further this vision are the focus of program initiatives and the budget development process.

The collective vision should drive decision making for the Village into the future. The four main elements, which denote the essence of the Bal Harbour Experience are:

• Exclusivity & Access – represented by our curated art programs and well-produced special events. Our acclaimed Museum Access Program, Art Chats, exclusive tours, creative public art installations, special access programs during Art Basel, the Bal Harbour Series of the South Beach Wine and Food Festival are just some of the exclusive opportunities created for residents and visitors, and reflect the community’s refined taste.

The increased visibility, investment in state-of-the-art technology and employment of innovative policing strategies ensures that our community remains safe at all times, as well as a leader and model in public safety.

Together, these elements define what it means to live, work, play and visit in Bal Harbour and what makes our community so unique and distinctive.

This vision rests on a foundation based on:• Developing and maintaining well designed and modernized public facilities and infrastructure;• Implementing smart policies and strategic solutions to address the challenges of today and to ensure that we remain a Resilient

and Sustainable community able to protect our future; and• Ensuring that both the perception and reality of safety in our community remains uncompromised.

He described the competitive process used to select John Bell Construction Inc. and said that it was his recommendation was for the Council to accept the original base bid with an added contingency and accept add alternates for demolition, and the ability to negotiate for a generator and landscape and irrigation system. A general discussion ensued regarding the submission of a bid that was submitted three minutes after the publicly noticed submission deadline and bid opening date. Mr. Gonzalez added that given his past experience, that if the late bid was to be considered, that it would be better not to arbitrarily accept a late bid, risking a bid protest, but to start to the competitive process over again, which would further delay the project. There was a general consensus from the Council to adhere to the competitive bid process and not to re-bid the project. Mayor Groisman asked what the timeline for the completion of the project would be, to which Oscar Morejon (John Bell Construction) responded that the project duration would be six months, and that the demolition Bal Bay and the Ops Facility concurrently at the tail end of the project, to combine the general condition and requirements regarding supervision project management and overhead.

COUNCIL ITEM SUMMARY

Condensed Title: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 21 “ZONING” OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, BY AMENDING SECTION 21-268 “ADDITIONAL STANDARDS FOR GRANDFATHERED APARTMENT-HOTEL PROJECTS” TO PERMIT PORTE-COCHERES IN THE RM-5 DISTRICT.

Issue: Should the Village Council approve this Ordinance allowing Porte-Cocheres for Grand-fathered Apartment-Hotels in the RM-5 Zoning District?

Bal Harbour Experience: x Beautiful Environment x Destination & Amenities

□ Safety □ Exclusivity & Access

□ Modernized Public Facilities + Infrastructure □ Resiliency + Sustainable Community

Item Summary/Recommendation: Beach House Bal Harbour (BHBH) proposes to re-develop and enhance the property located at 10250 Collins Avenue, consistent with the improvements and aesthetics of the property located at 291 Bal Bay Drive. The existing building at 10250 Collins Avenue is situated 50’-2” from the front property line, but there are currently no allowable encroachments in the RM-5 district. This is the only grandfathered apartment hotel use in the Village, and it is governed by special provisions of the RM-5 zoning district. BHBH is requesting that the Village Council amend Division 9, “RM-5 Multiple Family Residential District,” Section 21-267, “Setbacks” of the Village Zoning code with language similar to that provided in the Ocean Front (OF) District for Porte-Cocheres. At the February 25, 2020 Council meeting, the Owner made a proposal different than the previously proposed cantilevered Porte-Cochere without columns option. Subsequently, the Village Planner and Village Attorney determined that what the Owner had proposed is not allowed. The Owner is converting an existing building, and the building façade is already at the building setback line established by the plat. No columns are allowed beyond the building setback line. The proposed option now is an attractive Porte-Cochere, without columns, that blends well with the architecture of the buildings and is not intrusive to the surrounding area. Given the location of the building, along the base of the Herman Fultz Bridge, allowing such an element will not be out of scale or unwarranted. This ordinance was approved at first reading of the Local Planning Agency and Council Meeting on April 21, 2020 with a vote of 5-0. THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THIS ORDINANCE.

Advisory Board Recommendation: Local Planning Agency (LPA)

ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends the adoption of the Ordinance allowing relief to Beach Haus Bal Harbour LLC (BHBH), who desires to construct a Porte-Cochere in the RM-5 Grandfathered Apartment Hotel building front setback. This ordinance was approved at first reading of the Local Planning Agency and Council Meeting on April 21, 2020 with a vote of 5-0. BACKGROUND In July 2017, BHBH purchased the three buildings formerly owned by Bal Harbour Quarzo (Quarzo) located at 290 Bal Bay Drive (current hotel); 291 Bal Bay Drive (current vacant building under construction); and 10250 Collins Avenue (current occupied rental property). BHBH’s development plan continues to focus on the redevelopment and conversion of all three buildings into the “Beach Haus Bal Harbour,” a contemporary apartment-hotel building operated for short-term vacation rentals. The property will be a limited-services apartment-hotel that features a family-friendly environment and several new and enhanced amenities. This is the only grandfathered apartment hotel use in the Village, and it is governed by special provisions of the RM-5 zoning district. In October 2017 and November 2018, the Village Council approved certain amendments to the Village Code of Ordinances in order for the proposed development to move forward. Construction Permit Applications were submitted shortly thereafter on December 22, 2017 and a Phase One permit for the demolition of the windows and doors was issued on February 13, 2018. The Phase Two permit for the interior remodeling was also applied for on December 22, 2017; however, the plans were recently approved by Miami-Dade County. The Phase Two permit has been in “ready to issue” status as of January 6, 2020.

May 19, 2020 Council Meeting Re: Porte-Cocheres in RM-5 Zoning District Page 2 of 4

The permit review for Phase Two coincided with the legal challenge filed against BHBH, which has now been resolved. A Resolution amending the Compliance Agreement between the Village and BHBH was submitted to Village Council at the February 25, 2020 Council meeting and subsequently approved. After resolving pending bankruptcy proceedings, which greatly delayed the project, the Owner has indicated a readiness to proceed with the construction and the remaining buildings. The Owner has requested that the Village consider a request to permit a Porte-Cochere along the entrance of Building 3 of the project located at 10250 Collins Avenue. The Owner has indicated that incorporating this architectural feature will enhance the visitor’s experience, especially during the “check-in” and “check-out” process. At the February 25, 2020 Council meeting, the Owner made a proposal different than the previously proposed cantilevered porte-cochere without columns option. Subsequently, the Village Planner, Michael Miller, and Village Attorney, Susan Trevarthen, determined that what the Owner had proposed is not allowed. The Owner is converting an existing building, and the building façade is already at the building setback line established by the plat. No columns are allowed beyond the building setback line. The proposed renderings show a single, attractive Porte-Cochere, without columns, that blends well with the architecture of the buildings and is not intrusive to the surrounding area. Given the location of the building, along the base of the Herman Fultz Bridge, allowing such an element will not be out of scale or unwarranted. ANALYSIS Porte-Cochere for Grandfathered Apartment-hotels in RM-5 Zoning District BHBH proposes to re-develop and enhance the property located at 10250 Collins Avenue, consistent with the improvements and aesthetics of the property located at 291 Bal Bay Drive. The existing building at 10250 Collins Avenue is situated 50’-2” from the front property line, but there are currently no allowable encroachments in the RM-5 district. BHBH is requesting that the Village Council amend Division 9, “RM-5 Multiple Family Residential District,” Section 21-267, “Setbacks” of the Village Zoning code with language similar to that provided in the Ocean Front (OF) District regarding Porte-Cocheres.

Section 21-267, “Setbacks” states:

No Building or any part thereof, except a second and third story balcony overhang of four feet, may be erected in the RM-5 Multiple Family Residential District nearer to the front line, which is Bal Harbour Boulevard, than 50 feet, or as otherwise shown on the recorded plats of the Residential Section of Bal Harbour, and Resubdivision of Lot 21, Block 12 and Tract F of the Residential Section of Bal Harbour, or nearer to the side lines than 25 feet, or nearer to the rear lines than 50 feet, except that one-story garages and/or Servants' Quarters may be erected within the rear 30 feet of the Lot, but not nearer than five feet to the side or rear lines. All lots in the RM-5 Multiple Family

May 19, 2020 Council Meeting Re: Porte-Cocheres in RM-5 Zoning District Page 3 of 4

Residential District except Lots 1 to 3, inclusive, Block 12A, shall be regarded as fronting on Bal Harbour Boulevard. Lots 1 to 3, inclusive, Block 12A, shall be regarded as fronting on Baker's Haulover Inlet.

Section 21-268, “Additional standards for grandfathered apartment-hotel projects” states:

(a) Minimum landscaped open space. There shall be a minimum of 20 percent landscaped open space per project.

(b) Management. At least one management representative shall be working at the project to serve the needs of hotel guests 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

(c) Security. Security shall be provided in accordance with a written security plan, as approved by the Village Manager or designee.

(d) Accessory uses in rear setback. Structures erected in the rear 30 feet of the Lot, not nearer than five feet to the side or rear lines, may be used for one-story garages and facilities for the exclusive use of guests of grandfathered apartment hotel projects. Guest facilities may include business centers, fitness facilities, gyms, meeting rooms, spas or other similar uses approved by the Village Manager or designee or spa and fitness facilities.

The language in Section 21-291, “Setbacks” in the Oceanfront District as it pertains to Porte-Cocheres reads as follows:

f. No Buildings or Structures of any kind shall be erected or constructed within the front Setback area, except as follows: (i) A Porte-Cochere may be constructed in the front Setback area so long as it is cantilevered, and does not exceed a length along the front entrance in reasonable proportion to the entrance, and projects no more than 20 feet into the front Setback area. Notwithstanding the above, for Buildings that are located as of May 1, 2002 in the front Setback area, the Porte-Cochere may project no more than 20 feet from the face of the existing tower Structure area. Such Porte-Cochere must be reviewed by the Architectural Review Board.

As requested by BHBH, the Village Administration proposes that the Village Council consider the following code amendment:

May 19, 2020 Council Meeting Re: Porte-Cocheres in RM-5 Zoning District Page 4 of 4

Sec. 21-268. - Additional standards for grandfathered apartment-hotel projects. e. Front setback area. No buildings or structures of any kind shall be erected or constructed within the front setback area, except as follows: A Porte-Cochere may be constructed in the front Setback area so long as it is cantilevered, and does not exceed a length along the front entrance in reasonable proportion to the entrance, and projects no more than 20 feet into the front Setback area from the face of the existing building. Such Porte-Cochere must be approved by a certificate of appropriateness issued by the Architectural Review Board. See attached sketches of the 10250 Collins Ave existing building and the proposed Porte-Cochere encroaching in the front setback as well as the rendering of the Porte-Cochere. THE BAL HARBOUR EXPERIENCE By amending the Village Ordinance to allow Porte-Cocheres in the front setbacks of grandfathered Apartment Hotels in the RM-5 district of the Village, the Village will be promoting safety. Additionally, it would allow the developer to add to the beautification of the surrounding neighborhood and inventory of luxury facilities that contribute towards the Village’s “Destination and Amenities” vision. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends the adoption of the Ordinance to permit additional standards for grandfathered apartment-hotel projects for the construction of porte-cocheres in the RM-5 Zoning District to encroach and project into the front setback.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM

TO: Honorable Mayor and Village Council FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Village Manager DATE: May 19, 2020 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE,

FLORIDA; APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY ALLOCATING PARTIAL FUNDING FOR THE PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACES OPERATIONS FACILITY THROUGH THE MIAMI DADE COUNTY GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND PROGRAM; PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION The Miami-Dade County Better Building Communities General Obligation Bond (GOB) Program is allocating $563,000 funding towards the Parks and Public Spaces Operations Facility for the renovations site work and hardening of Village property at 1840 NE 144th Street, North Miami. It is recommended the Council approve the resolution authorizing the Village Manager to execute the interlocal agreement with Miami-Dade County. BACKGROUND In previous years, the Village was allocated $563,000 of GOB Program funds for improvements at Village Hall. Over time, the Village decided to hold off on that project and expenditure and instead dedicated the funding towards the planned New Village Hall. The GOB Program provides funding for Countywide projects, neighborhood projects for the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area and municipalities and associated allocations for activities such as but not limited to development, improvement, rehabilitation, restoration or acquisition of real property.

ANALYSIS Miami Dade County is required to spend bond monies within a required legal timeframe. In an effort to expedite the process of utilizing the allocated funds, the $563,000 is being re-allocated to the Parks and Public Spaces Operations Facility Project. The Parks and Public Spaces Operations Facility project consists of the renovation, site work and hardening of purchased property at 1840 NE 144th Street, North Miami. Providing for space (including furniture and fixtures) for displaced Parks & Public Spaces (including Utility Operations) with storage; and EOC category 5 rates for emergency operations including complete roof replacement. The $563,000 of the GOB Program funds is

expected to be utilized through FYE 2020. The Parks and Public Spaces Project is projected to be completed prior to the end of Calendar Year 2020.

The reallocation of the $563,000 GOB funds will result in a reassignment of fund balance resources previously allocated to the Parks and Public Spaces Operations Facility Project to be earmarked for the other projects in the future.

BAL HARBOUR EXPERIENCE This action is aligned with the Village’s stated mission through Bal Harbour Experience. Providing partial funding for Parks & Public Spaces (including Utility operations) and storage in line with Modernization of Public Facilities & Infrastructure. In addition, the hardening of the building will result in a Category 5 rated facility and secondary EOC for sheltered equipment for the Village. CONCLUSION The action before you now is to approve the resolution authorizing the Village Manager to execute the interlocal agreement with Miami-Dade County for $563,000 in BBC GOB funds for the Parks and Public Spaces Operations Facility.

Bal Harbour Village Final Report - Legislative Session 2020

On behalf of Ronald L. Book, Kelly Mallette, and Rana Brown, we would like to first and foremost extend our appreciation for the continued opportunity to represent Bal Harbour Village. Enclosed is our final Session Report for the 2020 Legislative Session. After a 6 day extension to complete the budget, the Legislature adjourned Sine Die on Thursday, March 19th at 1 :49 pm. The report below includes an update on the funding request, and legislative issues of interest to Bal Harbour Village. Please let us know if you have questions on any issue included in this report, or on any other issue of concern. We will be happy to provide further infonnation.

~ BUDGET UPDATE:

We worked throughout Session to advocate for funding for the Village's project listed below. We focused on working with and meeting weekly with the funding request sponsors, Appropriations subcommittee chairs, full committee chairs, House and Senate leadership, as well as with staff. As reported, we worked with the sponsors to have the request filed, the budget bill heard in the House as required, and throughout Session, we advocated on behalf of funding for the Village's project. Below is the funding level for each as passed in the final State budget for FY 2020 -2021.

As we reported, we worked with the sponsors to have the budget fonns filed, the budget forms in the House are then converted to bills, and we worked to have the funding bill heard in the House as required, and for the 60 days of the Session, we never stopped advocating for funding for the Village's project request. You will see the funding level below as it was in the final, FY 2020 - 2021 State budget.

It is important to note, that as of today, Governor DeSantis has not yet acted on the budget. In recent days, the Governor outlined his plan to take action on the budget. He made it clear that our State needed to get through the Corona Virus pandemic, and have a better understanding of the true impact and effect the health crisis will have on our state economy.

Prior to the end of the legislative session, our team began working with the Governor's staff on your budget item, making certain that once the budget is reviewed with the Governor, they will be ready to fully describe the lawmakers priorities to the Governor that are contained within the $93.2 billion budget.

We do fully expect the Governor to call the Legislature into special session potentially more than once over the next 60 -180 days. The intention will be to address budget shortfalls and issue subsequent budget cuts as may be needed. We also believe that a Special Session will likely address gaming issues which would include the creation and regulation of a sports book among other things. We will update you on all of this as we move through the next several weeks.

~ FUNDING REQUESTS: Below is the final funding level for the funding request (pre veto period).

Bal Harbour Village Storm Water System Improvements Sponsors: Senator Pizzo, Representative Geller Funded: $425,000 (budget line 1635A)

Page 48: Bal Harbour Village Council...Bal Harbour Village Final Report Legislative Session 2020 (AC).pdf- - R11 – VILLAGE CLERK REPORT R11A Lobbyist Report R11A1_Lobbyist Registration Report

~ LEGISLATIVE ISSUES:

Tax Cut Package: (HB 7097 by Representative Avila) Negotiations on this tax package mirror somewhat the budget process, as one bill originating in the House, and negotiated with the Senate, the following summarizes the final tax package. • Sales Tax Holidays:

o Provides a 3-day "back-to-school" tax holiday from August 7, 2020, through August 9, 2020, for certain clothing, school supplies, and personal computers.

o Provides a 7-day "disaster preparedness" tax holiday from May 29, 2020, through June 04, 2020, for specified disaster preparedness items.

• Insurance Premium Tax: Reduces the tax rate applied to surplus lines policies from 5 percent to 4.94 percent and applies that rate to all policies, regardless of the location of the risk.

• Ad Valorem Tax: Limits a charitable hospital's property tax exemption to the amount of community benefits provided by the hospital.

• Deployed Servicemember property tax exemption: Updates the qualifying operations for the deployed servicemember property tax exemption.

• Value Adjustment Board: Prohibits the use of a special magistrate's appraisal as evidence at value adjustment board hearings in a year that the special magistrate serves the board.

• Property Tax Notices: Restricts information that may be mailed with the annual Notice of Proposed Property Taxes. • Affordable Housing:

Vacation Rentals: (SB 1128 by Diaz and HB 1011 by Fischer) We continued to work closely throughout Session with the League of Cities to oppose this bill. Collectively, we were able to work with members to fight the many problems with this bill and have been successful in fighting this off for another Session.

As reported, the bill would have preempted to the state the regulation of vacation rentals including licensure and inspections; require that any local ordinance must be applied uniformly to all residential properties; clarify that local regulations cannot prohibit all rentals locally, can impose occupancy limits on rental properties, or require inspections or licensing of rentals; preempt all regulation of vacation rentals to the state with local ordinances in place before June 1, 2011 exempt.

We worked to demonstrate the many problems with a statewide preemption of local regulation. Throughout Session, met with leadership, sponsors, and members of the committees where the bills would be heard. We had members focused on issues such as discrimination, rentals by sexual predators and offenders, insurance concerns regarding homeowner's insurance which in most if not all cases, would not cover commercial rental property, licensing, inspections, and the issue of excess noise, trash, parking, safety. The House bill passed all of its committees but was not heard by the full House, and the Senate version passed two of three committees. We were able to stop it in the Rules committee, where it was scheduled but not heard.

Did not pass.

The bill does not expand the liability of a government entity for damages resulting from the actions of a state employee acting in bad faith.

Did not pass.

Legal Notices: (HB 7 by Fine and SB 1340 by Gruters) The bill clarifies that a governmental agency must provide annual notice in a newspaper or other publication of the ability to receive notices by email or first-class mail only if the governmental agency uses a publicly accessible website to publish notices. It also provides that notices for public-private partnership projects must be published in the Florida Administrative Register and in each county where the project is located.

HB 7 has passed the House, 71 - 4 7 but was not heard in the Senate. The Senate companion was not heard in its first committee.

Did not pass.

Did not pass.

Local Government Fiscal Transparency Act: (SB 1702: by Diaz and HB 1149 by DiCeglie) This bill addresses increased fiscal transparency for local governments and would require the following: • Public access to voting records of local governing body members related to tax increases and the issuance of tax­

supported debt • Online access to truth-in-millage (TRIM) notices and a four-year history of property tax rates and total revenue

generated by each local government • Public meetings and expanded public notice requirements for local option tax increases and the issuance of new long­
