the Senate bill of house representative approved in Tallahassee where the section 723.31 and section 7223.037 037. It clearly states that in a case of
an eviction, the owners are obligated to give one year's notice of the change of land use and the effects re affected residents have the right to relocate or compensation
for the value of their mobile home. It also makes clear that in the events of disagreements or disputions, the court shall appoint an appraisal. Secondly, the commissioners um of the
city of Sweetwater through the ordinance of 4390 approved and adopted on second reading on April 2nd, 2018 states the following. No agents of local, county, or state
government shall approve any uh applications for reszoning or taking any official action which will result in the removal or relocation of mobile homes owners residing in mobile home parks without
first dermatitation. the aquit mobile home parks or stable facility existing in the relocating of mobile home owners. The study was never conducted. In the case of the residents of Little Amnner,
we received evision notice within prior warning in November 2024 without being given the opportunity for relocating or fair financial compensation adjusted to the real cost of living.
More for we have a group of residents who bought their homes months even days before the eviction notice was given which um we given clear contract signed
that the company has potentially changed the zoning. We have a case that the EV eviction notice was stated on November 12th and the contract was signed on November 14th,
meaning that they already been evicted before they signed the contract. >> Miss Morales, your three minutes are up. Thank you for your comments. >> Okay. I appreciate you guys for hearing me out and thank you. I hope you guys make the right decision and you think about it real good. Um, basing it on all
these families, too. >> Thank Thank you, >> Gladis Aras. [applause] Gladis Aras. >> Okay. >> Janet Reyes. Janth Reyes, you don't want
>> Okay, seenor Enrique Sallay. Madam clerk, you can go ahead and turn off your uh clock. I'll take care of that. >> Mr. Zlay, if you could please say your name and address for the record. Enrique Sallayya 1122 Northwest 2nd Street.
>> You have three minutes, sir. Go ahead. >> Yeah. So, I just want to follow up what Samantha was saying. Immediately after demolition of mobile homes began as frightening and harassed resident vacated their properties, these demolition were carried out in violation of safety and environmental laws.
exposing residents to toxic and uh toxic substance such as adestoals, fiberglass debris, cement, cement particles, and more, posing additional risks to children and the elderly due to unsafe use of heavy machinery.
Because of harassment from the owner's office and the stress caused by this action, six residents have died from heart attack or strokes. stress that we can only attribute to the inhumane in inhumane manner in which we have been
evicted. The situation is at such magnitude that 20% of the population has been has been evicted from the city of sweet water and they have been displaced without the city commissioners ever authorizing the
change of land use which shows that due legal process has never been followed. The company committing this abuses is called consolidated real estate investment. This company has already received with approval of senators, congressmen and uh office from many
people for million dollars in federal funds and plans to receive even more. Among the management structure of this company, there are several owners, but the name of Andres Campio stands out. After conducting our investigation, we
found in the federal prison records the name of Andres Capillo as an ex-convict who served 27 years in prison for drug and arms trafficking. Although we do we do not have complete documentation, but
we have witness who affirm that it is the same person. Because of all these regularities, we respectfully request that you, the commissioner of the city of city water, do not approve the resining until all
rights for relocation or fair economic compensation we have demanded from the beginning are fulfilled and I just want to tell you something that it is from the Bible. Isaiah's 101 to2. We have chain to those who make
unjust laws to those who issue oppressive degrees to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people making widows their prey and rob the fatherless. Here the prophet Isaiah directly denounces corrupt rulers who
use their authority to oppress the people. If on the contrary you choose to approve the motion of the owners without taking our rights into consideration, then we will we will be left only to repeat the last word of our Lord Jesus
Christ moments before he died when he was crucified. John 19:30 is it is finished. And Luke 23:34, Father, forgive them for they know and they do not know what they're doing. Thank you.
And I hope you take in consideration all these all these people who are here with autism. They have been evicted there. We have many people with autism and we already have six people dead and nobody 90% of the people doesn't have where to go. So we demand that we should go. We
don't want to stay there. We don't want to stay there. We can leave the land to the owner but we want our rights to be respected. We want relocation or money. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> [applause] >> Sarah Blanco.
Miss Sarah Blanco. Miss Blanco, please state your name and address for the record. >> Um, Blanco. Okay. And little Abner, our human rights were betrayed in a cruel way.
>> From the youngest to those who are not with us anymore. Neighbors who died in the middle of this unjust process who uh carrying the pain um that could have been avoided. My autistic daughter suffered a meltdown
during the illegal illegal demolitions. [clears throat] near our home. I called the police and the office of little the official 8118 [snorts] told me that he had orders from his boss
to not enter the park. This means that we were alone. [clears throat] >> Since November of last year, we were promised relocation and protection. Pepe arrived to the park,
>> gave empty promises, prom saying that he would help our families. Many of us lost more than a year's salary of the the cost of our homes because we were told that this was safe and that it would not sell.
We have the titles. We have proof. And still we were by each of the commissioners that are sitting here. [applause and cheering] The sale of the lands >> was not the sale of our homes.
You all had the obligation to guarantee a just process, >> the relocation that was promised and public health. But what we lived through was rent that was, families that were lied to,
investing thousands of dollars, demolitions that were proven to have as and evictions that with police officers that treated us as if we were intruders on our own properties. >> Today, you want to approve a re
reasoning, which is just a means of legalizing this abuse. Blanco I'm gonna give you one more minute. Go ahead. Not just my daughter is autistic. We have a lot of children here who y'all left in the streets.
>> They don't have anywhere to go. And you all continue with this process which at this point is illegal because there is still a lawsuit pending. So I ask you all, do you have do you have grandkids? Do you have kids?
Time is up. Okay, >> everybody stay quiet. Stay quiet. >> Thank you for your time. Have a seat. [applause] [applause] I need everybody to stay quiet in the audience.
Uh, Bernabi, Rea, Dinera, Please say your name and address for the record before. No permitting. I'm not going to say good night. I'm not going to say good evening. I'm going to say to the 10 commissioners that are
sitting here and to the mayor why the folks are from Lil Abner who still are owners of our properties are now being allowed to go into our homes to retrieve our belongings. The police see us with our titles. We are still the rightful owners of our
trailers and we are denied access to our own homes. Meanwhile, there are people who are going in and ransacking the trailers who are stealing and y'all are allowing this as well as the police force who is allowing this to happen. We're being treated as if we're the ones
who are intruding when actual intruders are doing all the damage and are not getting any any we're not getting any justice. Speech. Speech. Speech. [snorts] I'm in a free country and I'm going to use my rights to say that everybody in
this space is corrupt. The way that y'all are moving is corrupt. Um, this is something that I every time that I come here, I'm not afraid to show my face and to speak out for what I believe in. Thank you for your time. You can have a seat.
>> Gracias. [applause] >> Mr. David Winker. >> Carmen, do me a favor. Shut off the timer, please. Thank you, Mr. Winker. Please say your name and address for the record. >> Yes. Thank you. David Winker, 4720 South
Leune Road. Thank you so much for allowing me to speak having this meeting. I would like to put onto the record that the action that the city is taking today is prohibited by Florida statute.
Your city attorney outlined some facts for you. Those facts are not correct. This will result in action that is going to end up in the
removal of residents who have not been previously removed from this property. That results from two things. one, I believe all of the evictions where I represent individuals, I think it's over
200 are under appeal. And if that appeal is granted, the action that you take will result in their removal relocation because you have changed the zoning of the property.
Further, there are properties that have not been there is no rid of possession, no lawsuit filed. So, the facts that you've been given are incorrect and the action I need to put on the record that the action you're taking will result.
The argument made by the city attorney is that this is a first reading. That is y'all's position and uh you will that will be decided by the judge. However, ordinance 4390
is clear. It states, "You shall make a determination regarding FS723083 during the same public hearing where the reszoning reszoning, not official action, reasonzoning or any other official
action which would result in the removal or relocation of mobile homeowners residing in a mobile home park is considered. You are considering the resoning today. You should do the study. You're required by law to do the study. And I would just
I I appreciate the opportunity to put on the record, it's our position that that study needs to be completed prior to you taking the action that you're proposing to take. Thanks everybody. >> Thank you for your time, sir. >> Mr. President, may I inquire of the
speaker? >> Mr. Attorney, >> I just want to make sure that this is not going to turn into a debate. If it does, I'm going to stop it. No, no, I don't intend on debating him, but I do have some legitimate questions because the people on this side of the
dis are actually outsiders to the process. So my question is the civil action involving the Lil Abner homeowners association for lack of a better term
against CRI, the city of Sweetwater and the county. Is that under appeal? >> The there is an appeal of the dismissal of the action against CRI. >> This the action against the city
which we brought city and county >> for in our opinion violating the statute by approving an earlier repplatting. Mhm. >> That is continuing and that is not on appeal because there's been no determination.
>> And the eviction matters, are those on appeal as well? >> Yes. >> And has there been any stay of uh judgment or decree that's been entered by any court with jurisdiction of any of these matters? >> No. >> Okay, that's what I want to know. Thank
you. >> Thank you, sir. Mr. Mario Lea, I want to make it abundantly clear if another person decides to go ahead and insult anybody on this dis or in the city, I will cut your time and I will
kick you out. Mr. You have three minutes. Please say your name and address for the record. >> Good afternoon. Uh, thank you for the opportunity to speak here. My name is Mario Leva. I'm 67 years old and I'm disabled and I've also been evicted from
Lo Abner. >> Um, I'm currently at um, a homeless. Thank to all of you. Thank you very much. And uh uh you know one of the thing when you are an instructor and you teach people how to do moments sometime you have to do the same thing that they
do. For example, if they're blind you have to put a blindfold on your eyes and pretend to do something as a blind person. So now I've been sleeping on the car. >> You got that? And well and and what
happened is okay it is it's really uncomfortable do you want to try sometime maybe um you will get that little taste of that and but anyway we have seen the eviction we have seen the the fire and the home we
have seen a try violation u of sexual assault on one of our um lady seen a police beating one of our lady. We have seen a police provocation again our community and we have seen all the
darling quins coming into our home today when they when we leave the park and we we know that the rule say that we need to be relocated. That's the rule of the city of Sweetwater. Not my rule is your rule. But are you listening your own
rule or you want to try to sleep on your car? Maybe you should try. And what what are you doing in here if you're not doing for we the people? No, I the millionaire. No, I the powerful. No, we're doing it for the people. That's
why the first sentences of the Constitution United States say we the people. We the people were dislocated. We were displaced. Thank to all of you. Let's get out of here. >> Thank you for your comments, sir. Miss
Yasa Gualupe Gualupe. Miss Gualupe, please state your name and address for the record. Hello everyone. Everyone, I'm Ya Lupe, 9380 West Flaggler Street, Miami, Florida 33172. I am not a resident of Sweetwater and I
do not live in Lil Abner. I am a neighbor and I have seen the pain that this whole process has caused all of my neighbors. If y'all, any of you who should live in Sweetwater, right, drive through what used to be Lil Abner, it
will break your heart. This was a thriving community. It was a safe community. The people who lived there built it for decades. People who are sitting here have lived at Lil Abner for 20 plus years and all these people were
not considered when the res when right now if y'all decide to reszone they will not be considered. And when the property was sold and these people were were being uh displaced, y'all did not consider that. Jose Pep as mayor, you
spoke to all the people who were there when there were 900 families still at the park and you promised them that you had their best interest at heart. Now there are 200 families left. The 700 that left did not leave because they agreed with what was happening. They
left because it was painful to stay. And what y'all are going to do if you decide to reszone, which legally Mr. Winker already has outlined why that is that should not happen today because the study for reallocation must be done before the resoning is done and court
cases are open. So resoning should not happen if court cases are open. But if y'all decide to go through with this with this resoning what happens is that the people that built Sweetwater that made it the city that it is are going to be displaced. So Flaggler city center is
going to be touted as as progress. is going to be touted as something that's going to be good for the city. We're gonna we're going to build skyrises. We're going to have luxury commercial buildings. We're going to have market rate apartments. We're going to have some affordable housing. These people were displaced with the promise that
they would be relocated. That affordable housing was going to be built where Lil Abner is now. And if Flaggler City Center proceeds the way that is outlined right now, what is going to happen is that the people who already live in Sweetwater and around it are going to be
pushed out, is going to be gentrified. And those people, the businesses that exist right now, the people whose doors y'all knocked on, whose votes you begged for and you asked for are going to have to leave. And that is on y'all. And as
commissioners, as officials, it is your duty to protect and to center the communities that live here when you make these decisions. And if you decide to reszone to create Flaggler City Center, a high density market rate apartment
area with commercial buildings and all that, what you are doing is you are betraying the people that you promised to serve. >> Thank you for your time, ma'am. >> Thank you. [applause] El Casar Martinez, Martha Manesus.

mayor, council members, Alejandra Aras, offices at 701 Bickl Avenue. We're grateful for the opportunity to be before you this evening with this truly transformational project that will provide significant benefits to the city and its residents for decades to come. I'm joined this evening by my colleagues
Miriam Soler Ramos and Eric Adams, as well as the project team members who are here to answer any questions you may have. As such, we're proud to introduce what is destined to become the new standard for live, work, play, and thrive in the city of Sweetwater.
The subject property encompasses approximately 104 acres and is bounded on the north by Northwest 7th Street, bounded on the south by West Flaggler, bounded on the east by Northwest 110th Avenue, and bounded on the west by Northwest 114th Avenue. The property fronts West Flaggler
Street, a key artery in the city, and sits at the heart of one of Miami Dade's most dynamic economic corridors. Just minutes from major employers like Florida International University, Dolphin Mall, International Mall, Amazon, Telmundo, Goya Foods, and Miami Day County's new integrated command and
communications center. As such, the property offers unparalleled proximity to a diverse range of educational, commercial, and industrial employment centers. The property is also located within close proximity of the Florida Turnpike, the Dolphin Expressway, and the Palmetto Expressway, as well as
numerous public transportation options. Regionally, the property is easily accessible from Miami International Airport, downtown Miami, and the South Florida region at large. As part of this significant initiative, the applicant has assembled a project
team consisting of numerous experts and industry leaders from the new urbanist vision of DPZ co-design spearheaded by Elizabeth Platter Zybeck, the former dean of the University of Miami School of Architecture to Kimley Horn, one of the nation's premier engineering, planning, and design consultants. No
stone has been left unturned. No detail has been overlooked in the programming and conceptualization of this redevelopment effort. This detailed and coordinated effort incorporated key input from the teams, urban planners, environmental
consultants, legal adviserss, traffic engineers, and community engagement specialists. Extensive research and analysis has been conducted, including market studies, traffic impact assessments, short-term and long-term environmental reviews, and community feedback from city stakeholders and
local businesses. and legal and policy alignment has also been considered, ensuring consistency with the city's comprehensive plan goals, regional development strategies, and applicable statutes. The vision for this master plan redevelopment reflects a community that
will enhance the quality for life of citizens, promote economic viability, and accommodate population and development growth. The project will entail a transformative phased mixeduse neighborhood which will encompass numerous residential offerings
including senior housing, attainable housing, and workforce housing, hotel, commercial, retail, educational, office, institutional, healthcare, and open space recreational uses. Designed with transit access, employment
opportunities, and the community in mind. Situated between Northwest 7th Street and West Flaggler Street and nestled between Northwest 114th and 110th Avenues, the property sits at the crossroads of opportunity within close proximity of the future 107th Avenue
Smart Corridor Station and blocks from the Dolphin Station park and ride. Additionally, this project will contribute to the city's economic prosperity and viability by creating jobs, improving key transportation and infrastructure elements, enhancing
property values, and increasing the city's advalorum tax base. Based on our latest economic analysis, over the course of the development, the proposed project is expected to generate more than 51,000 full-time jobs, full-time and part-time jobs, and 5,000 permanent
jobs once the project is completed. Additionally, the project is anticipated to generate an estimated 13.6 million in new annual tax revenue, more than 34 times what is currently collected from the property. At a proposed cost of over $4 billion,
this project serves as a beacon of urban renewal designed to elevate quality of life, economic vitality, and urban resilience. As a key component, this project will include at least 1,000 residential units that will be dedicated as attainable housing and/or workforce housing,
meeting one of the city's highest priorities by addressing the housing needs of the elderly and workforce populations. It is a vision of inclusive and connected living built to support those who keep the South Florida community running and thriving, including nurses, teachers, first
responders, hospitality workers, veterans, and other essential workers to Miami's growth and resilience. As such, the items before you tonight, which carry staff's favorable recommendation, are the first procedural elements required for the realization of
this vision. A proposed text amendment to the city's comprehensive plan establishing the Flaggler City Center District land use category. A future land use map amendment to redesate the property to the new Flaggler City Center land use category.
A text amendment to the city's land development code establishing the Flaggler City Center zoning district and a reszoning of the property to the new Flaggler City Center zoning district. The first request, the land use text amendment serves to create the Flaggler
City Center District land use category, which establishes the broad foundational baseline, the key planning elements for the district. This includes the initial vested development program, permitted uses, minimum open space, and urban design and interconnectivity goals. This
provides for a cohesive planning approach for the large-scale master plan development. The second request will serve to redesate the future land use map designation on the property from mobile home residential and medium multif family residential to the proposed
Flaggler city center district land use category. These proposals are representative of the city vision and consistent with the city's goals, objectives, and policies of the city's comprehensive master plan, including objective two of the future
land use element. Objective four of the future land use element, which states that the economic base shall be increased and broadened through planning and development activities. Objective one of the housing element delineating that the city should provide or assist the private sector to provide 148 new
dwelling units of various types, sizes, and costs by 2025 to meet the housing needs of all existing and anticipated populations of the city. Objective two of the housing element, objective three of the housing element, which states that the city shall provide incentives to encourage the construction of housing
for low and moderate income households. Objective two of the economic development element which states that the city will enhance and promote the city of Sweetwater's unique character and identity by creating distinct mixeduse districts and neighborhood focal points and objective three of the
economic development element. The third request will serve to establish the proposed Flaggler city center zoning designation which will delineate the specific zoning regulations and requirements related to this master plan mixeduse community.
This will include specific elements such as permitted uses, transitional uses, and prohibited uses, development standards such as intensity, building height, lot sizes, and location requirements, and key processes, approval thresholds, and requirements.
Lastly, the resoning request will serve to reclassify the zoning of the property from T1 trailer park district to IU intramuse district and RM24 highdensity residential district to the proposed Flaggler City Center zoning district. As part of this resoning process, the
applicant has pro-offered and will be required to execute a number of controlling documents that will set forth key responsibilities and will ensure uniformity and aesthetic and design cohesiveness throughout the mixeduse community. This includes a master development agreement, urban design regulations, and a master
development plan. Pursuant to section 9.0600B 06000B of the land development code. The resoning request complies with all required criteria set forth therein. The proposed resoning will further the purpose and implementation of the code and the comprehensive plan. It will not be
contrary to established land use patterns throughout the city. It will not create an isolated or unrelated district as the scale of this project is in line with what has been developed here in the university district. It will not have an adverse impact on public facilities such as schools, utilities,
and streets. In fact, this project will lead to significant upgrades with respect to all of these elements. The existing boundaries of the district have been logically drawn in relation to the existing conditions. Changing conditions have made the passage of the proposed amendment both desirable and necessary.
Substantial reasons exist why the property cannot be used in accordance with the existing zoning. And the proposal is not out of scale, but in fact meets the significant needs of the neighborhood and the city at large. As such, approval of these requests tonight, a first reading would represent
the first significant step in this process whereby the land use items will be transmitted to the Florida Department of Commerce for state review. And as part of this process, the Florida Department of Transportation will also review and provide comments to our traffic impact study and proposed
infrastructure improvements. Concurrently, while the state is reviewing the land use items, it is our full intent to continue the dialogue and negotiations with the city in order to finalize the required master development agreement, master development plan, and urban design regulations, at which time
the land use and zoning items will all catch up and be brought back together before this commission for second reading and final approval. There is no doubt that this proposed mixeduse community will serve to elevate redevelopment to its highest potential,
incorporating beautiful architecture, urban design elements, and high-end materials as can only be exemplified in these highlevel conceptual renderings. >> Mr. Aras, are you done with your presentation? I guess so.
>> No, no, no. You don't. No, no, please sir. >> I will just conclude ultimately this is a transformative project that will serve as a catalyst for the economic vitality and social cohesion, which is more, it's a proposal that we truly believe will set a new standard for the city and its residents. It will forever change the
landscape of this beloved community. So, with that, I thank you very much for your time, your service, and your consideration, and we're here to answer any questions you may have. >> Mr. I want to make it abundantly clear. I want to apologize. I was standing up. I had some uh business to attend to. I
don't want you to think that I was being disrespectful to you in the same way that I was focusing on everybody's uh public comments. >> Mr. President, >> Mr. Mayor, you have the floor. >> Thank you, sir. You know, we live in the greatest country in the world. >> Amen. >> Because somebody could come and say
whatever they want to say. And it's important that what is said though at the end is realistic. And this is where we have to look at the facts and determine them and then make decisions. You have to make those
decisions based on facts. So one of the things we have is law and it's very important. I mean you could have many things you would like to have and wish for and want but doesn't mean it is legal. So I want some clarity
because one thing I will not sit here and allow that you as a board or myself get tarnished with incomplete facts. So I want to get some clarity on what the attorney
represented because I'm not too clear because it's my understanding that the sheriff has removed everybody and that law that was stated does not apply. But I need to get clarity before they make a decision because my job is to protect
not only the city but this board and everybody within this government. >> Okay. So if I may, if I may, Mr. Mayor, just before I launch into that, just to give a a primer on uh the legal process,
you if there is any sort of lawsuit, the per the end result of a lawsuit is a judgment and this is the United States, anything can be appealed at least once and sometimes two and three times. But the question comes down to what
happens to that judgment that is appealed during the appellet process. And as I said earlier, there are two things that can happen. Number one, you ask the trial court or the appellet court to stay enforcement of the judgment. That means to freeze that
judgment. Number two, you continue through the appeal with the judgment in place. Number two is a situation that's that we're confronted with right now. There have been judgments entered, matters
that have been appealed, and there has been no stay. To my understanding because of that the actions that the city is taking now are being taken after
after the litigants and the uh residents of the trailer park have had their due process in front of a court. The due their due process is not here. Their due process is to being removed and whether the removal is correct and so forth. That's in front of a court.
The question here is simply just the the resoning. That's it. And the reasoning is now being taking place after they have had their due process. Are there cases on appeal? Yes. But those those judgments have not been
stayed. And because they have not been stayed, they're still valid judgments and we have to proceed under those valid judgments. Now, I understand I understand that emotions are hot and there are a lot of sympathies here,
okay? And I get that. I don't come from a wealthy background either, so I understand what it's like to live in that situation. However, CRI for all practical purposes is a legal person in and of itself. It's a fictitious legal the legal entity is
considered a person. And CRI also has due process rights just as the uh residents have due process rights and their due one of their due process rights is to apply for a um a zoning
change as any land owner may and the city at that point is faced with a decision as to when would be the appropriate time to review this. We can't say to CRI, "No, we're not going to do this because we don't feel like it."
We have to take CRI's application and consider it within the bounds of the law. If the cases were still pending or if there was a um if there was a stay of the judgments,
then my advice to you and to the commission would be to hold off on this because there's been a stay of the judgments. But without a stay of the judgments, we have to proceed under the circumstances as currently as is currently postured in court. And as a
result of that, CRI has the right to to petition us for a change and we have the obligation to consider that. Now, I had a conversation with CRI's litigation council, Mr. Jose Pedra, outside and I would if with the president's
permission, I would like to bring Mr. Pedra up because I do have a couple of questions to ask him. >> I don't have any problems with that. >> Mr. Pedra, >> any commissioners have any issues with that? >> No. Mr. May, you have any issues with that? I would like you to do what you're doing. Okay. >> Mr. Pedra, please state your name and address for the record.
>> George Pedra, 2500 Pon Stalon Boulevard. >> Mr. Pedra, thank you for speaking tonight and thank you for entertaining our conversation in the hallway a few minutes ago. Um, for the record, the questions I'm going to ask him are fairly much the same questions that I
asked in the hallway. Um there will be no there's nothing that we spoke about that I would not that that I would be uncomfortable seeing on the front page of the Miami Herald. Okay. So number one would you explain the nature of the
litigation between the homeowners association such that it may or may not exist and CRI the county and the city. Um, so in the case brought by the entity titled the homeowners association, which
of course is not a homeowners association, that case has been disposed of by the trial court entering a final judgment in favor of CRI. Um, that case that final judgment is on appeal and um the case has been fully
briefed and we're just waiting for the appellet court to decide. So, was that case dismissed with prejudice or without prejudice? >> It was dismissed with prejudice. >> Okay. Would you explain to the members of the audience, the commission, and the mayor the meaning of the term with
prejudice? >> With prejudice means that the case is over with finality, which is also what makes it appealable. >> Okay. Um, >> so at this point, aside from the appeal, there's nothing that the so-called, and I'm going to call it a homeowner
association, although I understand that's a question, okay? Or the plaintiffs, but there's nothing that the plaintiffs can do at the trial court level. Their sole recourse at this point is at the appellet level. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> Okay. Now, [snorts] has that decision
been stayed in any formal manner? I don't I'm not even aware that you can stay a dismissal, but is has it been stayed in any any formal fashion? >> No, there is no stay of that order. >> Now, >> final judgment. >> That also leaves the county and the city as co-defendants.
They are both sued for declaratory action and injunctive relief. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> What is the status of the litigation against the county and the city in that lawsuit at this point? So, um, at the same time, the plaintiffs
have taken the position that they were dismissed with prejudice because they've taken an appeal. Um, but with respect to the city and the county, um, they were given leave to amend several months ago. Um, and the complaint was never amended
as to the city and the county. So, there is no complaint pending against the city and county as we sit here today. Now my so the case against the city and the county has been dismissed with leave to amend. Was there a specific number of days given by the court for the
amendment? Ordinarily it's anywhere from 10 to 30 days. >> I think per the rules if it does if the order does not say so specifically it's 10 days. Um and my recollection is that this order did not say specifically how
many days leave to amend the plaintiffs had. But in any event, it's long since expired. >> So we're we're past the point at this stage where the city and city or the county can be brought back into that lawsuit without permission of the court to bring us back in. Is that correct?
>> That's certainly our view of it. >> Okay. That would be my view of it as well, Mr. Mayor and Commissioners. >> Thank you, Mr. Attorney. And this [clears throat] is the reason why I wanted facts in front of you >> because people could say whatever they want to say, but the reality is the reality. And it is my understanding that
the only thing is as I heard correctly on the law is that there is people still living have a right to be able to then have some kind of a case still pending but there is no property owners still there.
>> All of the rits of possession in every single eviction action have been issued and have been served and have been executed by Miami Dade Sheriff. So anybody who's thereification not property owners property leasing correct lease the property
>> correct so anybody who's there would be trespassing for sure >> and due to trespassing because >> because a rid of possession has been issued served and executed. >> So legality means in this case that
they cannot be there because it's no longer their property. >> Correct. Correct. All of the mobile homes have been sealed. Um, and you know, there's a separate legal proceeding with respect to the
disposition of those properties, but um, they've all been evicted. >> Is that the portion where they had x amount of days left to be able to retrieve any property that might be there? >> Yes, and thank you for for bringing that up, Mr. Mayor. Um, not only have these
residents known that this was coming for more than a year, um, the, um, rits of possession were served weeks ago by the Miami Dade County Sheriff's. Normally, they will serve a RIT, come back 72 hours later. In this case, they served
it weeks ago and waited about 3 weeks before coming out, reserving, and then giving another 24 hours. So, there was no element of surprise here. >> Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Right. >> And if I >> Thank you, Mr. Pedro. >> I would like uh >> George,
>> if you don't mind, uh Caesar Master, special counsel, uh to the city of Sweetwater. Just so we understand the rits of possession when you say they were executed, what what exactly happens when that when that occurs? >> So, a rid of um a final judgment is issued by the judge. That final judgment
is taken to the clerk of courts. The clerk of court issues a rid of possession based upon the final judgment that is then taken over to the sheriff and the sheriff executes the rid of possession. They are the one that go and post it and then they'll usually come
back like I said 24 or 72 hours later to uh remove all the belongings and seal the property. So the officers actually when they come back remove the people, tell them you're not allowed to be here anymore pursuant to a court order.
>> Correct. >> And you if you can if you want to come back to take retrieve your possessions, this is the way you're going to do it. >> Correct. >> Okay. So, I know that we've discussed the statute and we've discussed the city ordinance and one of the elements is
that the actions by this commission would lead to the relocation of these folks. In your opinion, is that possible? >> That's absolutely not possible. the these mobile homeowners were being relocated by the owner independent
of anything this board could or would do. Um and in fact it's already taken place. It's over. >> They have been legally relocated already prior to any action of this board. >> Absolutely. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> And if I could add to that also and thank you Mr. Excellent points that you raised. Um the the both the ordinance and the statute speak really ultimately about official action. Not everything that a government does in
and of itself constitutes quote unquote official action. Why? Because we could have this meeting tonight. The commission can vote in favor of all four items. come back in 10 days or 20 days, the commission can vote
in favor again of all four items and the mayor could veto it. I'm not saying [clears throat] that he would, but the point is that a veto would end the process. So there there never would have been official action. There cannot be on this matter.
There cannot be official action in my opinion until the mayor has signed the ordinance. And by the time this gets to the mayor for signature, well, even today in the consideration, all avenues have been foreclosed to all legal
avenues have been foreclosed to the to the residents. There's just nothing further to consider at this point other than the applicant's application. Thank you. >> Thank you both attorneys. Thank you. >> Mr. President, I just wanted to be clear
with the facts. Um, so when you sit down and make your decision now, you have it before you in whatever questions you may have. Thank you, sir. >> Does any other commissioner wish to speak on this item? >> Commissioner, >> just in just because of an abundance of
caution, I I want you guys to kind of guide me. I have just a few questions. I think I have the answers, but I just want to be sure. What is our responsibility as a city between an owner and a rental dispute? Generally none other than to keep the
peace. So if there is taking it away from here just a regular landlord tenant situation. If a landlord wants to evict a tenant and does it forcefully on his own as one of my clients did about 20 years ago,
um that client the tenant will call the police. The city will intervene and will arrest the landlord for trespass and possibly battery. So, so in this matter of the trailer park, have we have we acted appropriately? As far as we know,
>> in this matter of the trailer park, we have taken everything into consideration multiple times. The mayor, myself, Mr. The city has taken the unusual step of
contracting with special counsel to focus on this matter and a few other matters. But every consideration has been given to reviewing this matter again and again and again. Not the least of which was
tonight when Mr. Winker raised a few issues and there were some questions on the mayor's part, Mr. Me's part of mine and we inquired essentially it's a sidebar um with u uh with um uh the
applicants council the applicants litigation council on this uh to ascertain the facts. At this point, we have done everything humanly possible to adhere to the law and to ensure that
the um that the rights of both the residents of the trailer park and of the owners of the trailer park or the land that was formerly trailer park that
their rights be protected. And I would like to say that there's been there have been a few situations where we have intentionally and by we I mean the city has delayed the process a little bit to the consternation of the applicant simply because we wanted to ensure that things are done correctly
and and give the judicial system the opportunity to to work through the process. But at this point, we are faced with a slew of judicial rulings
that are in favor of the applicant and against the interests of the residents or former residents without a single even a single motion for a stay of a judgment.
I think we've done everything right, Commissioner. >> Okay. Um, with regards to ordinance 4390 and 723.083 talks about governmental action affecting removal of of mobile homeowners. Some of the folks that came here talked about a study.
>> Have we done a study? And if we haven't done a study, why haven't we done it? Does it apply? Does it not apply? I want to, you know, I want to >> Okay. I >> some clarity on that. >> Right. I don't think this applies for the following reason. If there was no application up until
very recently, but had there been an application a year ago when there were people still lawfully in possession of their trailers and lawfully [snorts] residing on in the trailer park and the city received
the application from from CI, the city would have been uh duty bound both under our ordinance and under the state statute to conduct that investigation. But at this point, any official action that the city is going to do as a result of this,
nearly a year after the original eviction letters went out, any official action will be taken with no legal residence on the trailer park. None.
And nothing that we do, nothing that the city does at this point will result in their removal because the removal process was conducted at the trial level [snorts] through 200 plus eviction actions that
were filed individually against each of the each of the residents. So I do not believe that either 4390 or 70 723.083 083 apply in this case because there's nothing we can do at this point that
would actually result in the removal of anybody who is lawfully resident on the property. >> Okay. And then this is the only application we've ever received for a zoning request. Today is the first time we're hearing of this. Correct. >> Is my my understanding >> to to my understanding
and this goes to part of the confusion and I I don't know. I'm I'm going to be generous and say that it was a confusion as opposed to something else. The as everybody here knows the trailer park or the former trailer park little ab is huge. It's a large area and you could
literally take a bowling ball and roll in down the street and have it go for blocks without ever stopping. I mean it's a very large area. There were areas of Lil Abner that have been undeveloped and I mean just vacant space without any trailers or anything on there. There were a couple of properties that were
put up um essentially um low-income housing or senior housing, but that displaced no residents because the area was empty. It was essentially vacant land. So that had been or received [clears throat] and done years ago
without any complaint. In fact, people have been living there for at least five or six years without there ever having been a complaint lodged about any sort of study or so forth. With regard to this action, action that could
theoretically result in the removal or displacement of residents of the trailers that no application has been submitted to us until after the matters have been concluded in court. So, yes, nothing has
been done. >> Okay, >> Mr. Marti, Commissioner Marti, uh, I'm going to make that real clear for you. Could you come up, Mr. Ver, did when did we get this application [snorts]
or planning and zoning director? Uh, we received this application on August 4th, 2025. >> Okay. Uh so this is have we received any type of application of any kind?
>> The only ones that we've received are the one that uh the attorney just uh referred to which is the little aers the one two and three where they're building the buildings and that's totally separate and apart from this >> from anything to do with any trailers or removal any trailers.
>> I wanted to clarify that for the record and make sure that we had a date to it. >> Thank you. Thank you Mr. Thank you, sir. >> I have one question for the applicant. If you and maybe it's you, Alex, or the other gentleman. >> Uh, if you could just and I and I just
bear with me. It's only one question. What did your client offer the residents? And more importantly, what's the state minimum? And and did we meet the state minimum? >> We can answer that question, but I also want to put this at the forefront. This
is not a court of law. >> I understood. We're asking we are in a quasi judicial land use and zoning forum. So these questions are really getting into the weeds with respect to things that were adjudicated in a court of law. But >> we have we have our litigation council here to answer that. It's just, you
know, I don't want this to go down a slippery slope of >> Please humor me. There's 900 families that were displaced and you know there's a lot of compassion for these folks here and you know we feel their pain and we it's a big decision not only for our
community but for them and their neighbors of ours that it's a tough one. So to answer your question, um, under state law, there's a couple of different programs depending on whether the mobile home is being relocated or abandoned and
whether it's a single wide or double wide. The payout range is roughly from $1,500 to $2,500. These residents were offered over $16,000 uh in the combined package between what
was being offered as the initial incentives plus what was offered >> as required under the state. >> Stop for a second. I'm going to I'm going to explain this one time. I'm going to give one warning.
>> If anybody disrupts these proceedings, I will kick you out. I will say it in Spanish. Professor Prof. Please proceed, sir. >> Thank you. I can also tell you I've been
involved in most of the mobile home relocations in South Florida, probably for the past seven, eight years. This is by far and I'm talking multiples by far the most generous relocation pro uh package that any owner has ever offered
its tenants. >> Right. Thank you, sir. >> We got to move through the commission. One more point of clarification and I want to be clear on something yield to >> the mayor. Is that Mr. Mayor? >> Thank you. >> Our officers, somebody stated that our
officers were allowed not to go into a trailer park. Uh that is totally incorrect and unjust. Our officers have responded to many calls and have arrested several people breaking into trailers and have done their duty. We
have a professional we have professional officers and that command would never be given here [clears throat] by anybody. On the opposite we were to we told to make sure that everything was secure and everybody was okay in the trailer park
as any other part of the city and patrol the same way. So I wanted to be very clear on that and to make sure that it was stated in reality. >> Thank you Mr. Mayor. Commissioner Sal. >> Yes. Alex, please can you come to the
podium? And during your presentation, you talk about the um state review. >> Yes, sir. >> Can you uh little bit a little bit on that? >> So, whenever you have a uh land use amendment of this scale, it's transmitted to the state. What we're doing is we're creating a brand news
land use district um with a number of baseline items as well as the future land use map amendment. Whenever you do that, in between you heard as the local planning agency to land use items. That is a
recommendation to then transmit that to the state. The state will review that as your professional staff has reviewed it for a number of different items related to concurrency and the impacts that this proposed project is going to have on this particular area. So, one of those
things that they're going to re review is the traffic study that's been prepared. So Florida Department of State, the same way that you have your traffic engineers, Miami date county has their traffic engineers, the state Florida Department of Transportation will review the impact of our of the
traffic that's proposed based on this development program. Once they combine all of their review comments, Mr. Vera will receive a package from the state showing these are our recommendations. These are our objections if they have any um and the path forward to proceed
at which time we can come back here at second reading >> and address those issues. >> Okay. He also mentioned the uh 110th Avenue. We don't have 110th Avenue. Is this something new >> roadway? That's a new roadway that will
be incorporated as an artery as part of the new project. What's the plan you guys with 114th Street? Uh, Javier 114 Avenue. You guys got any plan to make it bigger because there's going to be traffic through that interception.
Correct. >> Yes. So, our traffic study has identified not just those immediate roadways, but a much larger span. It was part of the uh the review process. Once we get to that state level, more than likely they're going to recommend a
larger scope. So, we were proactive. We understood that that they would likely ask for something that's way beyond the bounds of 110th and 114th. And we took a an analysis of a much larger scale. So 114th, 110th, Flaggler, Northwest 7th
and other particular areas. It is slated that we are going to provide improvements, mitigation, um if required, monetary payments for any improvements that are required there. But it's one of the conclusions in our traffic study that we will work
with the city, we work with the state for any impacts and our proportionate share of impacts that are created as a result of this project that we will either undertake the improvements oursel or pay for the required improvements that we um generate.
>> Who who does this study? You guys do do it or a private company? >> It's it's our traffic engineer Kimley Horn which is one of the nation's premier engineering firms prepares it. We submit it to the city. You as the city, you have your own traffic consultant which reviews this document,
provides commentary. It's a back and forth with your suggestions, our methodologies until the city is satisfied with what we're proposing based on the scope of the project. >> Another question and the final question going to be my the parking. What are you guys doing on the parking in that area? That's it's a big big huge project here.
it is and the parking will be more than sufficient uh based on what we're proposing for residential, commercial, office and all of the other uses. One of the [snorts] things that we did here is we took best practices from other significant mixeduse projects. So, for
example, downtown Dorado, we took what worked there and we also identified what didn't and some of the challenges that they had. So, one of the things that we're doing is we're we have the um the benefit of acreage in this particular site rather than infill development like what you see in University City. So,
each block will have pedestal parking on each of those residential blocks that will not just hold the parking required for an office or for the residential building, but also for the proposed commercial that's going to go there. So, that first floor is going to be dedicated just for the commercial uses.
Um, that's an issue that we've seen in downtown Dorado. It was almost the commercial grew too large and there wasn't enough parking. So, we're trying to nip that in the bud right from the beginning and make sure that there's sufficient parking there. >> Yep. I have another one. What about I I don't know. I noticed there a hospital.
Is that a hospital or >> the intent is to have a medical district? Yes. So, we will approach hospital operators. Um, >> how many beds >> right now? I believe it is a 400. >> Okay. About 400.
>> 400 I believe is what we have in the development program. [snorts] Yes. >> Thank you. >> Oh, I'm sorry. There's going to be a park there also. >> There's a minimum open space requirement. >> The intent is to have a a park space as well. >> There it's going to be a park for the
residents of the whole entire Sweetwater or just for that particular area. I believe that that's part of the development agreement negotiations, but it can certainly be a park for the city if that's the city's >> Thank you, Alex. Appreciate it. >> Thank you, Commissioner Diaz. Uh, any
other commissioners have any comments? >> Yeah, through the chair. >> Commissioner Vio, you have the floor. >> Um, so my my colleague Saul Diaz brought up a good point about the uh street widening. So, I I'm glad to hear that you're adding a lot of new avenues and streets that didn't uh exist previously.
Um, definitely want to make sure we widen 114,000 because it's only two lanes and a lot of residents that live in that area already complain numerous times about there not being a turning lane, there not being any signals or anything, the lights being out there at night. So, I'd like to see all that
addressed. 112 should definitely be widened. A lot of cross streets opened up and that's great that I see that in the plans. Also, I think it's imperative that we see um walkable streets. So that means uh wider sidewalks, canopy trees,
um crosswalks, uh traffic signals to make sure that everyone's able to cross the street safely and soundly because this project is what about 6,000 units. That could easily amount to 20,000 additional
residents added to the city, which would be more than doubling the city's population. So, it's definitely going to have an impact and I just want to make sure that that uh impact is mitigated and everything is done as it should be. >> Yeah. And one of the safeguards that we provide the city is the urban design
regulations which cover a lot of that um design uh programming. So, street widths, the um the look of the street canopies, all of those elements will be incorporated as part of the urban design regulations. And what that document
serves to provide is protections for the city that 20, 30 years down the line, there's a cohesive aesthetic look and design and uniformity to the development so that it's not just a hodgepodge of different districts going up. But that's
definitely covered within the urban design. >> All right. And there's also something I would suggest that I've seen in a project I've worked on in another city. um this thing called DERQ AI technology that's incorporated into the traffic signals to make them you know uh AI to
make them art artificially intelligent. So they the traffic signals know when people or cars are coming and they know which color to be which signal to turn. So I I would advise to look into that as well. >> It's a blank canvas so we can certainly take a look into
>> do you yield commissioner? >> Yeah. Thank you. Commissioner Sal is the floor. >> Yes. Um I know you went over. Can you go over about a workforce uh housing or affordable housing? Are you guys doing another one? >> So there's there's approximately at least 1,000 affordable andor workforce
units proposed as part of this project. Um one of the initial phases that we want to begin, God willing, after the approval process is the next logical step. There's a way to pull up the presentation I can show you. >> Yep. Um
um what's his name? >> Julio. Julio, can you have him? >> Put the slide, please. The slide. Yep. Got it. Mario. [clears throat]
>> I just want to show this. I know you have to present from here. Thank you, Mario. >> Here we go. So with uh what you see there the north village which is what's identified in yellow the next logical step will be um to undertake the
development of those three buildings that you see to the north and that will encompass workforce andor affordable housing >> and the purple ones are going to be >> those will be um market rate rentals is the initial idea but again that needs to
be determined on the market >> that's on the pipeline that's in the pipeline right >> that's in the pipeline as well. Everything that you see here is is in the pipeline. But >> all right, that's it. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. >> Thank you, Commissioner D. Is any other commissioners have any comments or
statements? I'm going to make a brief statement. Uh, how many members of the audience don't speak English? Okay, I'm gonna make the city ordinance 4390 that everyone keeps referring to.
The person that made that ordinance, the maker of the motion is me. So I created this motion I would expect that you see the intent behind the ordinance. You cannot imagine
the chaos and the political chaos that I've received because of creating this ordinance. Yet some of you come up here and call us corrupt. Shame on you. The mayor is his own man. I don't need to defend the man. But I can defend
honorable actions. We were enemies for 15 years. He would call for my head and I will call for his. But he's been nothing but a gentleman for the last two and a half years. And trust me when I tell you I was not his favorite person. But I will not
allow people to come up here and defame his good name and mischaracterize him as corrupt. And that's not what he is. I will not allow you guys to call my colleagues on the commission corrupt or other than honorable.
The fact remains that this is a private property case. water. The second that a lawsuit was filed, we were not able to talk. >> [snorts] >> I want I want that to be very clear. Mr. Mayor, I'm not here to defend you,
but again, I've seen your actions. I've seen what you've done. You took this on the chin where you were in the forefront. You took it for all of us because they didn't speak negatively in the media about the commissioners. They spoke bad
about you. So, thank you for that. This is a private property issue and unfortunately, however we feel about this issue, however personal we feel, however personally we are affected by this, it's a private property matter.
As a matter of fact, the ordinance being the maker of the ordinance, I wrote the city commission will make its determination regard regarding Florida statute 723.083 during the same public hearing where the
resoning or any official action which would result in the removal or relocation of mobile home owners residing in a mobile home park. I'm going to try and translate that. Pacific. Sheriff.
Sheriff. I want that to be clear. The second thing that I want to make it abundantly clear, a lady came up here and said that our police officers were ordered and instructed not to respond to the trailer park.
It's impossible for the chief of police to make that kind of order. Moreover, we have made arrests in the trailer park from last year till today. So, if officers were ordered not to respond, how is it possible they made
arrest? So, I can tell you with great certainty, our chief of police, our deputy chief, our assistant chief, our majors, our lieutenants, our sergeants, our detectives, and our officers will never commit an illegal immoral act. It's just
not going to happen. Now, I'm done talking on this and I'm going to ask for a motion for item five. Do I have a motion? Moved by Commissioner Jose Marti,
seconded by Commissioner Idana Yan. Roll call, Madame Clerk, for item five. >> Commissioner Yano, >> yes. >> Commissioner Diaz, >> yes. >> Commissioner Martine, >> yes. >> Commissioner Ray, >> yes. >> Commissioner, >> yes.
>> President, >> yes. >> Do I have a motion for item six? >> Move. Moved by Commissioner Bay, second by Commissioner Jose Marti. Roll call, Madam Clerk. >> Commissioner Diaz, >> yes.
>> Commissioner Martin, >> yes. >> Commissioner Ray, >> yes. >> Commissioner, >> yes. >> Commissioner Yano, >> yes. >> President Bao, >> yes. Do I have a motion for item seven? >> Move. >> Second.
>> Moved by Commissioner Vio. Second by Commissioner Jose Mati. Roll call. Madam clerk. Commissioner Martin. >> Yes. >> Commissioner, >> Commissioner, >> yes. >> Commissioner Yario, >> yes. >> Commissioner Diaz.
>> Hey, Alex. >> President, >> hold on. Hold on. I haven't vote yet. This is the um Flagger City Center. That's what we're voting for. >> Can we change the name on that? [laughter] >> Is it for real?
>> Is that on the pipeline, too? As with everything, [laughter] we're open to negotiations and discussions. That's what this process is for between first and second reading. So, we can take it back to the applicant. >> Mayor, don't forget that negotiate. >> Yes, sir. Yes.
>> President B. >> Yes. Do I have a motion on item eight? >> Motion by Commissioner Monty, second by Commissioner Yano. Roll call. Madam clerk, >> commissioner R. Commissioner,
>> yes. >> Commissioner Yano, >> yes. >> Commissioner Diaz, >> yes. >> Commissioner Martine, >> yes. >> President, >> yes. >> On first. >> Mr. Mayor, you have the floor. >> Mr. President, I just want to restate that all the ordinances were read in the
beginning by yourself if I'm not mistaken. >> They were. >> That's exactly correct. Yes. >> So, the votes were now taken independently as stated uh earlier by yourself. >> Yes, sir. Exactly. So that the conclusion is all items were done properly. >> All items were done properly. There was
due consideration to everything. Everyone's uh right to speak was respected and the votes were uh individual by items uh with a f a second and then a roll call vote. Everything is according to law.
>> Thank you. [clears throat] >> Thank you Mr. Mayor. Motion for adjournment. All in favor say I. >> I.
