Meeting called to order at 4:30 PM. The Miramar City Commission convened on October 16, 2024, to address a full agenda including proclamations, advisory board updates, consent agenda items, a homeless camping ordinance, salary adjustments, land development code amendments, and several quasi-judicial items. Notable actions included the unanimous denial of a proposed 84-unit affordable housing development on Foxcroft Road after strong resident opposition, the approval of a dual-brand hotel and a Raising Cane's restaurant, and the celebration of outgoing Vice Mayor Alexandra P. Davis's service.
So now that you're expanded from the historic side to the rest of the city of Miramar. In historic Miramar. That is correct. So and you had some sort of a study and you kind of went through. Good evening. The meeting of the Mirmar City Commission is now called to order. An opportunity was given to the public to register to participate for or email the city clerk 24 hours prior to the commission meeting with any questions, comments, concerns on items we will hear on this evening's agenda. Any person may be heard by the city commission through the chair and upon registering pursuant to the published notice for not more than three minutes on any proposition before the city commission unless modified by the chair.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic, which is standard. One nation under God. And we recognize Holly Hicks from the Parks and Recreation Department who lost her father. So join me and the commission as we have a moment of silence for our bereaved colleague, as well as any other condolences we are extending to the broader community. Let's have a moment of silence. Please note that items related to the park at Miramar project public hearing item number 15, quasi judicial items 16 and 17 are being continued to the 1106 or the November 6th, 24, 2024 Commission meeting. Because these were advertised at the appropriate time, the city attorney will read the title for the record, and the commission will vote on a continuance on the item. So just in case if there are any members from the public here in the commission chambers are viewing virtually for items 15 through 17, that item has been or will be continued for on the November 6th commission meeting and will be voted on and when we reach it at that time of the agenda. Also of note, um, the public participation sign in sheet has several residents that have signed in to speak on resolution number R 8172. Um you will have an opportunity to speak on that item during the appropriate agenda time and will um the opportunity to speak will not be during public participation time certain at 7:30 because you will have an opportunity to speak when that item is heard.

Okay. Well, we can have Anita come, Anita Taylor, Fain Taylor, if we'll receive it in her honor, our director of economic development and housing. Always be ready.
