TITLE
Second Reading of Ordinance 2025-10: Parking Regulations
SUMMARY
The Community Development Department has worked with the City Attorney’s Office
to draft proposed changes to Chapter 9, Land Development, to provide for additional
regulations applicable to off-site parking lots and materials used to construct parking
lots; and Chapter 20, Zoning, to provide that parking lots are permitted in the C-1

The City Attorney’s Office drafted the proposed changes to the various chapters of the
City Code. On April 3, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Board conducted a public
hearing and recommended approval of Ordinance 2025-10; with the addition of
concrete driveway aprons depths being defined at a minimum 6 feet, with the
exception of when a 5 feet sidewalk exists, the apron depth would be constructed to
that of the existing sidewalk.
First reading was held April 28th.
Staff is recommending that the City Commission hold a Public Hearing and adopt

David Knezevich, the Fort Lauderdale resident charged in the kidnapping and murder of his estranged wife Ana Maria Knezevich who disappeared in Spain last year, died by suicide in jail, his attorney and Ana Knezevich’s family said in statements Monday.Ana Knezevich, 40, was last seen on Feb. 2, 2024. She went to Madrid in Decem-ber 2023 as she and David Knezevich were separated and preparing to divorce; she was considering staying abroad more permanently. Family and friends last received an odd text message from her phone, saying she had met a “wonderful man” and would be staying with him and have no cellphone service.In May 2024, David Knezevich, 37, was arrested by federal authorities at Miami International Airport, and he had been held in the Federal Deten-tion Center Miami with-out bond. He was indicted in November on charges of kidnapping resulting in death, foreign domestic violence resulting in death
and foreign murder of a U.S. national. The indict-ment accused Knezevich of flying to Istanbul before renting a car, driving from Serbia to Spain, spray-paint-ing the security cameras at Ana Knezevich’s apartment and then exiting the apart-ment with a suitcase. The suspicious text message sent from her phone was the same as one Knezev-ich had asked a Colombian woman to help him craft in Spanish for a novel he said his friend was writing, pros-ecutors said.Knezevich was found “unresponsive” at FDC Miami shortly after 8 a.m. Monday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said in a statement. Employees tried life-saving measures, and emergency medical services personnel pronounced him dead. No employees or other inmates were injured, the statement said.David Knezevich’s defense attorneys, Jayne Weintraub, Christopher Cavallo and Bruce Zimet, said in a statement to the South Florida Sun Senti-nel: “The Defense team is devastated to learn of this news. We sincerely hope that an appropriate and prompt investigation will be conducted.” While authori-ties continue to search, Ana
Knezevich’s family is pained that they may never recover her body, they said in a state-ment Monday.“It is a cruel final insult that we may never recover Ana’s remains or know the full extent of the betrayal she suffered,” their state-ment said. “Still, we remain committed to seeking the truth and justice for Ana
through our attorney, Mr. Ingber, and to preserving Ana’s memory while honor-ing her life with dignity, strength, and love.”Attorney Adam Ingber said: “While his death spares this family from the agony of a trial, it also leaves many questions unan-swered, which we continue to pursue.”
Spanish police, FBI agents and local authorities have searched for Ana Knezev-ich’s remains in bodies of water and wooded areas in Spain, France and Italy.Earlier this year, govern-ment agents seized the phone and laptop of Knezevich’s brother, Ugljesa Knezevich, believing the devices contained evidence
related to the case, accord-ing to a search warrant.A status conference in Knezevich’s case was held on Friday, federal court records show, setting upcoming deadlines as prosecutors and the defense prepared for trial, which was scheduled to begin in June.His defense attorneys in an April 14 motion argued that the government since Knezevich’s arrest in May had been dragging out their prosecution “while it searched for evidence supporting the Govern-ment’s theory that Knezev-ich murdered his wife.”Prosecutors submitted “a last-minute discovery dump,” his defense attor-neys wrote, what they said “can only be viewed as yet another attempt by the Government to needlessly protract the trial date while the Government continues its investigation.”The next hearing was scheduled for May 12.Spokespersons for the U.S. Attorney’s Office Southern District of Florida did not respond to an email seeking comment Monday after-noon.

Barreto is listed as partner at Capital City Consulting, a lobbying firm. He’s been described as one of the most powerful people in Miami by multi-ple publications, according to his bio.Sen. Bryan Avila, R-Mi-ami Springs, defended Barreto and urged the Senate to confirm him. He described Barreto as a “successful developer” who has also worked to revital-ize Biscayne Bay and rid the Everglades of invasive pythons.“There is certainly a lot of noise,” he said. “I think it’s important for us to some-
times put the noise aside and look at the accomplish-ments.”Barreto was among the 6-1 vote last May when FWC’s governing board set aside objections from environmental groups to back a deal that allows the Central Florida Expressway Authority to cut through Split Oak.He and fellow FWC commissioners were show-ered with shouts of “shame” after that decision.Barreto again defended the vote, extolling the land swap with developers that was part of the Split Oak deal.
