He stated people are leaving the neighborhood as a result, and residents are held hostage in their homes. He asked that the Commission vote to stop it. Mayor Gomez closed the public hearing. Commissioner Wright asked staff about a specific event advertised on a flyer for May 13. Assistant City Manager/Director of Community Development Maxine Calloway stated based on what is projected to take place it does not meet the definition of a special event, but notwithstanding, Code Enforcement would be going in person during the event and any violations of the on -street parking and noise standards will be subject to penalty upon adoption of this ordinance. Vice Mayor Bolton asked for additional detail on the ordinance and its penalties. Assistant City Manager Calloway provided a brief overview. Vice Mayor Bolton asked counsel for an opinion on whether the City had the right to enforce penalties such as turning off water to an event. City Attorney Ottinot Minutes May 10, 2023 — Regular Commission Meeting Page 10 stated staff had researched the issue, and if it becomes a public safety issue, the City can use different means to mitigate public safety issues. Assistant City Manager Calloway provided additional details. Vice Mayor Bolton asked how vehicles parked on the street would be addressed, whether Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) would be proactive or reactive, and engagement of residents in the process of developing the language. Assistant City Manager Calloway responded as appropriate. She acknowledged the need to balance the regulations with private property rights. Commissioner Villalobos inquired as to whether the advance discussions with those throwing the party planned for the following weekend would be considered the first warning. Assistant City Manager Calloway stated the City had already responded to an issue at the property, so that had been the first warning. Commissioner Wright asked for clarification on how it is determined whether the definition of a party has been met. Assistant City Manager Calloway explained in reference to this specific gathering, staff had taken the owners at their word, but still has concerns, so had arranged for Code Compliance to go out on that evening. Commissioner Wright asked whether something could be added to the ordinance to strengthen it so that a promoter cannot come into a neighborhood to rent a home and have a big party. Assistant City Manager Calloway discussed State preemptions regarding vacation rentals and stated the special event ordinance provides the City tools to assess whether a permit should be required. Discussion continued regarding examples in the community and taking proactive action. City Attorney Ottinot and City Manager Sucuoglu highlighted options related to the specific party and stated staff would meet to discuss the situation. Mayor Gomez asserted there was no question a business was being run out of the house and referenced the flyers advertising a $20 door charge for the party. She stated this was inappropriate for a residential community and the loophole should be closed, as this was beyond a vacation rental. Mayor Gomez asked for clarification on how notices and fines would be imposed under the ordinance. She stated the City should be able to shut the party down on the night. Assistant City Manager Calloway explained the City had the option to shut it down if it rises to the standard of hazardous to life. She noted there was also a preemption on regulating home -based businesses. Discussion continued. Commissioner Villalobos inquired as to whether fees would apply to the promoter as well, or just the homeowner. Assistant City Manager Calloway clarified that the homeowner would be fined. Minutes May 10, 2023 — Regular Commission Meeting Page 11 Commissioner Villalobos argued the first offense fine was too low compared to what was being collected at the door for these parties. He suggested skipping $250 and $500 fines and jumping straight to $15,000. Vice Mayor Bolton asked whether the ordinance had the teeth to resolve the issues related to the specific party being discussed. City Attorney Ottinot stated the ordinance has some tools, but he was also looking at other tools available to address the issue. He stated he had just been given the flyer and it was obvious a business was being operated, and it should be dealt with as such. Discussion continued regarding the flyer and the associated event. Vice Mayor Bolton asked if language could be added to the ordinance related to charging admission. He suggested this would be a temporary fix to the issue of the May 13 party advertised on the flyer. Mayor Gomez asked whether referencing charging admission in the ordinance would sanction the action or lead to other issues. City Attorney Ottinot discussed zoning districts and commercial use within a residential district. He stated he did not take issue with adding the language. Discussion continued. Mayor Gomez offered Vice Mayor Bolton's addition of language regarding charging admission as a friendly amendment, and it was accepted. Moved by Commissioner Villalobos; seconded by Commissioner Wright to adopt Ordinance T02512 as amended. Motion Approved: 5-0. Voting For: Mayor Gomez, Vice Mayor Bolton, Commissioner Daniel, Commissioner Wright, and Commissioner Villalobos. Voting Against: None. 9. QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING(S) 9.a.

He stated there had been hundreds of comments on social media posts in support of the move and asked for a consensus of the Commission. Mayor Gomez explained there are regulations in place, and people have the right to make an application and be heard. stated there are plazas in the City which need to be improved, and a moratorium would stop revitalization from happening. She noted they should be open to progress that benefits the community. Discussion continued. Commissioner Wright stated he understood a moratorium seemed like good politics, but it was too broad, and the Commission has the power to say yes or no to projects as they come up. 10.b.
