The recognition indicates Hialeah documented emergency plans, department contact procedures, public notification strategies and other resiliency measures required by the StormReady program. \"This program is more than just a sign or a title,\" Robert Garcia, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service Miami, said. \"It shows the city's commitment to being proactive, to have the community prepared for disasters, to have the community be able to respond, stand back up for disasters.\" Garcia credited local officials and staff for compiling the documentation the NWS reviewed.

Robert Molla, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service Miami South Florida forecast office, said StormReady recognition is not given lightly and praised the city's efforts. City staff and department leaders who worked with the NWS on the application included Chief Garcia and Miss Frias, the NWS presenters said.

Councilmembers and staff noted one practical benefit of the accreditation: it provides a 25-basis-point mitigation credit toward the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). As the city accumulates mitigation credits, that can help insured properties within city limits maintain lower flood-insurance rates or become eligible for additional discounts, Robert Garcia said.

Fire department leadership also acknowledged the cross-departmental effort. Paul Garcia, introduced during public remarks, thanked council and staff and noted the mayor's prior working relationships with the NWS had helped expedite coordination. The mayor and council thanked emergency services and communications staff for their work on the application and on the city’s Alert Hialeah system.

The NWS presenters formally congratulated Hialeah and observed the accreditation will be valid for the next four years; city departments will need to maintain and update the documented procedures to preserve the designation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting 4-8-25","oneSentenceSummary","The National Weather Service presented Hialeah with a four-year StormReady accreditation after reviewing the city's emergency plans, interagency notification procedures and documentation of departmental roles.","taxTitle","Hialeah, Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2891,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6084233,"Hialeah council approves two zoning measures, denies rezoning request to legalize rear unit; second reading set for proposed school",1144,3696000,4840000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2919915-8e8a62a9d77284a6418d5b687c611cf0&start=3696&end=4840","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2919915-8e8a62a9d77284a6418d5b687c611cf0/thumbnail_3696000.jpg","/articles/6084233/Hialeah/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Hialeah-council-approves-two-zoning-measures-denies-rezoning-request-to-legalize-rear-unit-second-reading-set-for-proposed-school","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6084233-2a2486b86a5fc4f5ee6c94336ed39101/orig.mp4?Expires=1775752021&Signature=k-S4sWQyzBp7mLYmjXZICkI89iHLBBEHlrD~VE7zn-7iICbGtKwUBj4Ssi3Yon4RsjVsw1ME92reVWLsnouNWyJqWpU-8TxyWMx8yCiD8M6sEcJUZd0eP0v6yZv10ElSYzhCg-Kl90bdq4JUOlzqINq0FePe~VufgW~teANIY2I-dHIUnBTgmTC1AfzekZy~Dg9JOIJ3mH9ad-vhYoNrU4iW0v-7uhpMuU3bx-jKAtf2qhMot66iROZmEPcPYybvkta86DkfGJF9nOq-dXXhV205Nr6e13GEUxu7IPaCUPzBpfS5lw1Al2HHgeLQ9UiTEoVf-9XLT1itM8Ex6-Ki3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hialeah City Council on Monday approved two zoning-related measures, approved first reading for a proposed K–3 school with an on-site daycare, and denied a rezoning request that would have converted an existing accessory structure into a duplex.

The actions matter because they change land use and permit conditions for properties in the city, affect parking and pervious-surface variances, and set a second reading date for the school proposal.

On a second reading, the council approved an ordinance rezoning two properties at 2000 Palm Avenue and 2090 Palm Avenue from C-2 (liberal retail commercial) to C-3 (extended liberal commercial). Jerry Proctor, attorney for the applicant, told the council the item had unanimous support on first reading and that the applicant concurred with staff recommendations. The motion to approve passed with a unanimous vote.

The council also granted first reading approval to an ordinance to rezone 106 West Ninth Street from CR (commercial-residential) to R-3-D (multi-family) and to grant a conditional use permit to allow a K–3 elementary school (maximum 28 students) combined with a 42-child daycare. The applicant representatives at the meeting were Lazaro Picayo (property owner) and Leslie Picayo (school director). Councilmembers approved first reading and scheduled the second reading and public hearing for April 22, 2025.

A separate rezoning request at 175 East Seventeenth Street, which would have changed an R-1 (single-family) lot to R-2 (two-family) to legalize a detached structure as a second dwelling unit, was denied after extended discussion. George Gomez, who said he represents the property owner, described the history and urged legalization; councilmembers expressed concerns about legalizing an apparent existing unit, neighborhood parking and safety, and the risk of encouraging other unpermitted conversions. A motion to deny carried.

The council also approved a final decision for a pergola variance at 37371 Pashiejo Drive (front setback and separation requirements) and approved conditions requiring partial removal of concrete; that item passed unanimously.

The consent agenda passed earlier in the meeting on a motion by Councilmember Tundidor, seconded by Councilmember Rodriguez. The vote counts recorded on the record show unanimous approval for consent and for the items recorded as unanimous.","The Hialeah City Council voted to approve a commercial rezoning and a pergola variance, approved first reading for a combined K–3 school and daycare with a second reading set for April 22, 2025, and denied a rezoning request to convert an existing accessory structure into a duplex.

Juan Santana identified a property at 4282 West Seventh Lane and said an RV registered to a relative was cited when the online registration apparently did not work for that address. \"I waited basically, like, three weeks, come to find out they actually opened up the registration to start registering your RVs and your trailers, and I was never notified,\" Santana said. He told the council he attempted to enter the address online and the site would not accept it. Santana said code-compliance staff Yadi and Alexi had been \"very professional\" and he brought printed paperwork to the meeting to give to the mayor.

Santana asked the council to place his materials on the record and to have staff follow up so the property owner can become compliant. The public-comment exchange was recorded during the Council's comments and questions portion; no formal council action was taken at the time.","A Hialeah resident told the council the city’s online registration system for RVs and trailers is not notifying property owners and that code-compliance filings appear inaccessible; he asked for staff assistance and handed paperwork to the mayor.","actionData","errors"]
