The amendments add and refine uses, create new definitions (including \"outdoor venue\"), establish site‑plan and special‑exception requirements for some uses, and set operating and nuisance rules for outdoor music and events.

Debbie Love, development services director, said the ordinance implements the earlier establishment of the overlay district and cleans up code sections that ripple through Articles 4, 5 and 7. She told commissioners that staff added a definition for \"outdoor venue\" and wrote a new section (referenced in the record as 5‑16) limiting amplified music or speakers for outdoor music and entertainment: \"if they are going to have music and entertainment, that they can't have any speakers or live music after 11PM,\" Love said. The draft also includes sanitation, fire safety and alcohol‑service requirements for outdoor venues and requires posting of open‑container signage where applicable.

The ordinance updates the use table to identify new permitted uses, uses permitted only with site plan or special‑exception review, and uses prohibited in the overlay. Staff noted two changes commissioners asked about: (1) smoke and vape shops are prohibited in the Northwest Seventh Avenue overlay district as drafted, and (2) some uses (for example, certain outdoor recreation categories) were added or clarified to enable community events and activation of the corridor.

Commissioners debated scope and sequencing. Commissioner Naomi Blamere asked why the city was addressing only Seventh Avenue rather than taking a citywide approach; Love said the item was fast‑tracked at the administration's direction to implement a council vision for that corridor and that a comprehensive LDR update will address citywide changes later. Love encouraged commissioners to participate in and promote LDR workshops; she gave dates for outreach meetings and said staff had been doing social media, TV 76, Constant Contact and HOA invitations but attendance at LDR workshops had been low.

Commissioners also revisited concerns about nightclubs and late‑night noise. The commission formally reiterated a prior recommendation limiting nightclubs on the west side of Northwest Seventh Avenue (the side abutting residential areas). The motion to reiterate that preference passed unanimously; commissioners said the ordinance's amplified‑sound limit and related code enforcement are intended to protect residents' quality of life.

Staff said the ordinance will go forward to city council for second reading after the comp‑plan transmittal process with the state is complete and after a planned town hall to present the changes to the public. Love said some provisions in the ordinance will become effective before the full citywide LDR update is adopted so the overlay rules are available during the LDR rewrite and before other city‑wide LDR changes are finalized.

The commission voted to approve the ordinance by roll call; the approval included the commission's reiteration about limiting nightclubs on the west side of Seventh Avenue.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Special Meeting - 06/26/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of Ordinance PC 17‑111, which amends Chapter 29 of the North Miami code to implement the Northwest Seventh Avenue Cultural Arts and Innovation Overlay District and adds use‑table updates, a new outdoor‑venue definition and limits on amplified outdoor entertainment after 11 p.m.","taxTitle","North Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",12504,"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},6184980,"Planning commission approves vacation and sale of portion of NW 120th Street for clinic expansion",1160,919000,2079000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5084068-33d38f9ac580031ca0797c480ffdc0af&start=919&end=2079","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5084068-33d38f9ac580031ca0797c480ffdc0af/thumbnail_919000.jpg","/articles/6184980/North-Miami/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Planning-commission-approves-vacation-and-sale-of-portion-of-NW-120th-Street-for-clinic-expansion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184980-7ed3606dfc04a95d8e497712dc2b19cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189410&Signature=gHtBZ6yymmYsk80EdnM-zUBXgAJuG4LRlAvFsvAb267GrgxLuISXlR3szDJGfTdBhw3p9oeZ579795aq6V4bMlVDD44hc1fiPbclzjLFJlAWVF0LG~HG2Uj9ke1NZTBeBYoSQeTU-tjMuHI9k62KaGkZ8tLkPCLFTA2nQ-jVb76P48wF9MAj9LRE0BAmVBDIfolJo5b9fVB0eJIv-rMs7dLXniPdj2SEMbXduWw~Fn0Wja7k0FI4p4VeTAJES3haOGspqJU3DkHw05pRSC4QACu1mqFO3xe5SwFKEfBZTrTknwB6Bo~k64-m51-qb2NrDK6MnndteGz3dZtZBEDLDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Miami Planning Commission on a unanimous vote approved Resolution PC 17‑110 to abandon and authorize the sale of a roughly 200‑foot portion of Northwest 120th (Twentieth) Street that dead‑ends at I‑95, clearing the way for a clinic owner to combine adjacent parcels and build entry and community‑oriented improvements.

The action matters because the abandoned strip—about 12,000 square feet of a 60‑foot‑wide right of way—would be transferred to the property owner so the parcels can be unified and developed as part of the newly adopted Northwest Seventh Avenue Cultural Arts and Innovation Overlay District, staff said.

Debbie Love, development services director and planning commission liaison, told commissioners the charter requires two independent city‑commissioned appraisals and that the city cannot sell below 90 percent of the highest appraisal. \"The city charter requires that the purchase price of city owned land be no less than 90% of the highest appraised value,\" Love said; staff calculated the minimum sale price at $648,000 based on appraisals of approximately $720,000 and $700,000. Love also said letters of no objection were received from utility providers including FPL and TECO and from Public Works.

During the public hearing there were no speakers. Applicant testimony described the proposal as an entryway and beautification project to serve both the clinic and community events. The applicant, identified in the record as Dr. Moise, described his plans and his long‑standing presence in the area: \"I've been practicing for the past 40 years... On the First Floor, primary care. On the Second Floor, we do aesthetics,\" he told the commission, adding the goal was to \"beautify the city of North Miami.\"

Love summarized required next steps: the applicant must provide any utility easements that the utility companies require during plan review, unify the parcels, and complete deed and sale paperwork. She said the charter requires that the city obtain two independent appraisals, that the city deed the property once payment is received, and that the applicant must unify affected parcels within 45 days of the resolution. Staff expects the item to be scheduled for the city council's first meeting in August for council action.

Commissioners who spoke voiced support, describing the project as consistent with the overlay district and neighborhood goals. Commissioner Seifried said he \"fully support[s] the proposal\" and Commissioner McDermott and others noted the applicant's community work.

The commission voted by roll call; the motion to approve was moved and seconded and carried unanimously.

The commission's approval forwards the proposal to city council; if council grants final approval and the applicant meets the conditions (appraisals, payment, deed and unification), the city attorney's office will prepare the deed and staff will process the applicant's development review and permitting requests.","The North Miami Planning Commission unanimously approved a resolution to abandon and authorize sale of about 12,000 square feet of NW 120th (Twentieth) Street adjacent to I‑95 to allow a clinic owner to expand and add streetscape improvements; the sale price will be at least 90% of the highest city appraisal ($648,000).","actionData","errors"]
