The Aventura City Commission unanimously approved several non‑land‑use items during the meeting, including a consent agenda, a sign variance for Belmont Village Senior Living and a rental fee waiver for an event at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center.
The consent agenda was approved on a voice/roll‑call motion with no items removed for separate consideration. Commissioner Bloom moved to approve the consent agenda and the motion was seconded by Commissioner Ainge; the roll call recorded all present commissioners voting yes.
On item 6g the commission approved a sign variance for Belmont Village Senior Living at 3150 Yacht Club Way. Staff supported the variance to permit a wall sign facing an adjacent residentially zoned property and to allow directional signs of 5 square feet where the code allows 4 square feet. Vice Mayor Friedland moved to approve item 6g and Commissioner Orlinski seconded; the motion passed unanimously on roll call.
The commission also approved a resolution waiving rental and labor fees for the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center in an amount not to exceed $9,000 to support the Young Stars Showcase sponsored by the Aventura Marketing Council. Commissioner Cruz moved the fee waiver, seconded by Commissioner Bloom; the motion passed unanimously. City staff described the waiver as a foregone revenue to support a longstanding local youth performance event.
