Cooper City schedules Sunshine Gasoline case review for September after code violations cited

The Cooper City Special Magistrate Code Enforcement meeting held on July 2, 2025, addressed several important cases, including administrative fees and code violations affecting local businesses.

During the proceedings, a $100 to $150 administrative fee was established for the day's cases. The magistrate indicated that for one particular case involving a permit, the matter would be postponed for 60 days to allow for the issuance of the necessary permit. If the permit is granted by that time, the case will be closed administratively. If not, the case will be revisited on September 3 to determine the reasons for the delay.

The magistrate expressed appreciation for the efforts made by the involved parties to resolve the issues and encouraged them to continue working towards compliance. Individuals were instructed on how to pay the administrative fee, either immediately or through a mailed order.

Another significant case discussed involved Sunshine Gasoline, located at 11173 Sheridan Street. The business was found in violation of several codes under the Florida Fire Prevention Code. Specific issues included the need for servicing emergency lights, proper mounting of fire extinguishers, non-functional emergency communication systems, and the requirement for an updated business tax receipt from the city.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to enforcing safety regulations and ensuring compliance among local businesses. The next steps will involve monitoring the progress of the permit application and addressing the violations noted for Sunshine Gasoline.
