GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS VIOLA WATSON.

I LIVED IN MIAMI FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

MY EXPERIENCE BACKGROUND COMES FROM THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY, HAVE 30 YEARS THERE.

I HAVE ABOUT 25 YEARS IN RETAIL AND ABOUT 20 YEARS DOING REAL ESTATE.

I THINK I COULD BE AN ASSET HERE BECAUSE I SEE THE CITY OF TAMARAC AS A GREAT CITY AND I SEE A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES.

I NOTICE THAT I HAVE ATTENDED A LOT OF THE MEETINGS THAT WE HAD BEFORE THE COVID TO GET TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CITY.

AND I REALLY LIKE WHAT I SEE AND WHAT I HEAR.

SO I HOPE I WILL BE OF GREAT HELP HERE.

GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS ERIC GNAGE.

THIS MONTH STARTS, I BELIEVE, MY SECOND YEAR ON THIS BOARD.

I HAVE LIVED IN TAMARAC WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TIME I WAS GOING TO COLLEGE SINCE 1982, BASICALLY.

I'VE LIVED IN WOODMONT, SUNFLOWER/ HEATHGATE AND CURRENTLY WESTWOOD.

MY CAREER HAS BEEN SOLELY IN CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH FLORIDA AREA SINCE APPROXIMATELY 1992, I'M SORRY.

AND I'VE BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN OTHER ISSUES WITH TAMARAC, MOSTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE WOODMONT COUNTRY CLUB DEVELOPMENT WHEN I WAS LIVING IN WOODMONT AND I'M HAPPY TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS BOARD.

GOOD MORNING ALL. MY NAME IS THE SUJUNE BOW.

I'M A REGISTERED ARCHITECT IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'VE BEEN A CITIZEN OF TAMARAC FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS.

I AM JUST ELATED TO BE A PART OF THIS BOARD BECAUSE I'VE BEEN LIVING IN TEMPORARY DRIVING AROUND, SEEING THE CONDITIONS OF THE BUILDINGS, THE ONES THAT ARE REALLY GOOD CONDITION AND THE ONES THAT NEED A LITTLE BIT OF IMPROVEMENT.

AND I'M HAPPY TO LEND A HAND TO SEE AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

YOU KNOW, ONE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT AT THE TIME, WHATEVER I CAN DO TO HELP AVAILABLE.

AND WE THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS DAVID MOUNDFORD, AS I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT HERE OVER IN THE STATES FOR 17 YEARS NOW AND I'M HONORED TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE CITY, I'M ALSO INVOLVED WITH THE POLICE PENSION FUND AS WELL WITH THE CITY.

BUT HAVE BEEN IN THE FINANCIAL BUSINESS FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS NOW.

[00:10:02]

MY NAME IS NIKOLE CLEARE, I AM CURRENTLY THE VICE CHAIR AND ACTING CHAIR FOR, I THINK APPROXIMATELY A YEAR NOW.

I'VE ENJOYED SERVING THE BOARD.

I BELIEVE IT'S BEEN ABOUT A TWO YEAR PERIOD.

I'VE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL BY SITTING IN THE SEAT.

I HAVE LIVED IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

I PURCHASED MY FIRST HOME IN TAMARAC IN 2000.

I SERVE THE COMMUNITY, THE FOR PROFIT AND NONPROFIT ENTITIES, AND I AM INTERESTED IN CONTINUING AS EITHER THE CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR.

HI, I'M RICHARD HUGHES, I HAVE A BACKGROUND IN URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING AND A CERTIFIED PLANNER.

I'VE BEEN IN THAT FIELD FOR 20 PLUS YEARS, 20 PLUS HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, WORKING FOR THE CITY OF MIRAMAR, WHERE I'M CURRENTLY EMPLOYED.

PRIOR TO THAT, I WORKED IN A COUNTY OUTSIDE PHILADELPHIA FOR SEVEN YEARS DOING PLANNING WORK, MORE RECENTLY BECOME A CERTIFIED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL.

SO I HAVE TRANSITIONED A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SIDE OF THINGS.

I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAP BETWEEN THE TWO FIELDS.

I'VE ACTUALLY LIVED IN DENMARK TWICE AS A SECOND TIME, LIVED HERE.

I LIVED HERE FROM 05 TO 12 AND MOVED AWAY AND THEN CAME BACK IN 2016.

SO I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THE LAST FOUR AND A HALF YEARS, SO ALTOGETHER ABOUT 11 AND A HALF YEARS. SO IT'S A GREAT COMMUNITY.

IT'S GOT A LOT GOING FOR IT.

AND I'M PLEASED TO BE ON THE BOARD TO TRY TO HELP CONTINUE TO SEE THE CITY GROW IN A POSITIVE WAY. IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE SERVED ON A BOARD LIKE THIS.

I MEAN, USUALLY I'M ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS WORKING FOR THE CITY OF MIRAMAR.

SO WHILE I'M FAMILIAR PROCEDURALLY WITH HOW THESE THINGS WORK, BEAR WITH ME.

I DON'T QUITE GET SOME OF THIS QUITE RIGHT.

EVEN THOUGH I'VE OBSERVED IT FOR A LONG TIME.

I HAVE NOT, AS I SAID, SERVED ON A BOARD LIKE THIS.

I WORKED WITH ADVISORY BOARDS BEFORE.

AGAIN, AS A STAFF MEMBER, I'M OPEN TO BEING THE CHAIR VICE CHAIR AGAIN, NOT HAVING DONE IT BEFORE. JUST IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, NOMINATE ME, THAT'S FINE.

I'M OK WITH NOMINATING SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO SO.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

COLLETTE WILL DISTRIBUTE THE BALLOT AT THIS TIME.

THE BALLOTS.

MADAM CHAIR, AS THE BALLOTS ARE BEING BEING HANDED OUT, EXCUSE ME, JUST REMIND THE ALTERNATES THAT ONLY ONE OF THEM IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN ORDER TO MEET THE FIVE.

SO IF YOU MAYBE DISCUSS OR DECIDE AMONG THE TWO OF YOU, I CAN FLIP A COIN EITHER WAY AS TO WHICH OF THE TWO OF YOU WILL VOTE ON.

SO, JOHN, WHAT WE DID FOR THE VOTING OF THE CHAIR AND THE VICE CHAIR, BOTH ALTERNATES CAN MAKE AN ELECTION BECAUSE THIS PERSON SERVES THE BOARD.

BUT FOR ITEMS JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, FOR ITEMS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU THIS MORNING AND ONLY ONE OF THE ALTERNATE CAN VOTE ON THOSE ITEMS. SO YOU CAN DELIBERATE.

THREE VOTES. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

IF YOU COULD PLEASE PROCEED WITH THE MEETING.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THEIR VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

FIRST OF ALL, I WILL GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE ON WITH ITEM G PLANNING BOARD DISCLOSURES.

IF ANYONE HERE HAS A DISCLOSURE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE IN REGARDS TO YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH CITY ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

PLEASE LET US KNOW NOW. OK, IT LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANNING BOARD DISCLOSURES THIS MORNING, ITEM H, I'D LIKE TO HAND OVER TO THE NEW CITY ATTORNEY, MR. JOHN HERRON.

WE'RE ALL LEARNING TOGETHER.

CAN YOU TURN ON YOUR MIC, PLEASE? THANK YOU. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

I AM TRYING TO BRING UP VERY QUICKLY THE EX PARTE DISCLOSURE PROVISIONS, I HAD THEM UP JUST A MOMENT AGO, I APOLOGIZE.

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ON THE AGENDA ARE [INAUDIBLE] NATURE, THAT MEANS THAT THE ITEMS WILL BE UNDER OATH, [INAUDIBLE] EVIDENCE MUST BE ENTERED INTO THE RECORD ON WHAT YOU BASE YOUR DECISIONS, BECAUSE THEY ARE PROCEEDINGS ARE [INAUDIBLE] NATURE.

SO WILL THE APPLICANT. THEN AN OPPORTUNITY WILL BE GIVEN TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO MAY BE IN ATTENDANCE TO THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS TO GIVE COMMENTS.

AND THEN AT THE CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, YOU ALL WOULD CONSIDER THE ITEM, MAKE A MOTION VOTE AND EITHER ADOPT OR RECOMMEND APPROVAL, RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS OR RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE ITEM THAT'S BEFORE YOU.

IF THE SUBJECT COMMUNICATES THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON, GROUP OR ENTITY WITH WHOM THE COMMUNICATION TOOK PLACE IS DISCLOSED AND MADE PART OF THE RECORD.

AND THAT WAS THE CONCEPT EX PARTE, THAT I JUST EXPLAINED.

IT IS WITHIN THE DISCRETION OF THE CHAIR TO DECIDE THE ORDER OF PRESENTATION, BUT AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY, GENERALLY ITS STAFF OR THE APPLICANT WILL GO FIRST, THEN THE OTHER, AND THEN THE OBJECTORS OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO SPEAK WOULD BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY.

OTHER THAN THAT I'M HERE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR ASSIST YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS. AS WE MOVE FORWARD TODAY.

AWESOME. DO WE NEED TO SWEAR ANY OF THE PUBLIC IN AT THIS TIME? IF THEY ARE GOING TO SPEAK TO ANY OF THE ITEMS THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO STAND TO BE SWORN IN? DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ANY ITEM TODAY? SO THERE'S NO MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC THAT'S GOING TO BE WILLING TO OR INTERESTED IN SPEAKING ON ANY ITEM ON THE AGENDA TODAY? THIS INCLUDES THE APPLICANT, ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE SPEAKING.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION AND QUESTIONS.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

DOES ANYONE ON THE BOARD HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE FOR THE CITY REPRESENTATIVE? I HAVE A QUESTION.

CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE CONDITIONS? YES, SIR. ITEM NUMBER ONE.

COULD YOU JUST EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT WHAT THE QUARTERLY REQUIREMENTS TO SUPPLY UPDATED INFORMATION MEANS? WHAT IS THAT? THE APPLICATION AGREED TO COMPLY WITH THE.

YES, SO THERE IS A BROADER SPECTRUM.

IT'S BROKEN DOWN IN OUR CODE AS FAR AS DISPLAY OF CERTIFICATE, TERMS OF REVOCATION OF LICENSES.

IN OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WE HAVE IN OUR SUBSECTIONS, THERE ARE LISTS OF REQUIREMENTS.

I CAN HELP WITH THAT. I HAVE IT PULLED UP TRUSTEE.

THAT INFORMATION WITHIN SEVEN DAYS ALSO NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED TO THE CITY.

OK, HOW DOES THIS GET ENFORCED? CODE ENFORCEMENT, SO WE'LL STOP BY AS FREQUENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

AND AS CHRISTIANE MENTIONED, JUST SOME BACKGROUND, GIVEN SOME OF THE NEWS REPORT, I GUESS, THAT WAS CONNECTED TO MASSAGE PARLOR AND AS MENTIONED BY STAFF PRIOR TO 2018, THIS USE WAS PERMITTED BY RIGHT.

WE DID A REWRITE OF OUR ZONING CODE AND IN THAT REWIRED.

THEN IT BECAME A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, PARTICULARLY SO BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS USE. SO WE'RE ABLE THEN TO ADD SOME ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS AND BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE USE.

THAT'S NOT A QUESTION, BUT I DID NOTICE IN THE BACK UP THERE WAS A DOCUMENT CALLED USE STANDARDS THAT RELATED TO THE SOUTH FLORIDA MONTESSORI ACADEMY.

MAYBE IT'S BEEN A MISTAKE WHEN THE PACKAGE WAS PUT TOGETHER.

[00:35:01]

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S PART OF THE RECORD OR NOT, BUT IT DIDN'T BELONG IN THERE.

JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT FOR THE RECORD.

IN WHAT SECTION? I'M SORRY.

IT WAS IT WAS JUST PART OF THE BACKUP THAT I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL.

SO I WAS GOING THROUGH THE DOCUMENTS READING THE ITEM, AND THERE WAS SOMETHING CALLED USE STANDARDS. THAT WAS THE TITLE OF THE DOCUMENT.

AND WHEN I READ IT, IT HAD SELL FOR THE MONTESSORI ACADEMY INFORMATION IN THERE.

YES, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DELETED, SIR.

I'M SORRY. OK, THAT'S FINE.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A NOTE OF IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT AND INPUT.

AS ANYONE ELSE. HAVE A QUESTION FOR CHRISTIAN.

MADAM CHAIR, I HAVE A QUESTION.

SURE. PLEASE. ACTUALLY, I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR STAFF AND ONE QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.

A QUESTION FOR STAFF WOULD BE, IS THE CITY AWARE OF ANY SINCE THIS WAS A MASSAGE THERAPY OPERATION BEFORE THE CURRENT APPLICATION, BEFORE US, IS THE CITY AWARE OF ANY ONGOING COMPLAINTS OR ISSUES RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS OPERATION IN THIS LOCATION? WE VERIFIED WITH THE CODE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT.

THAT WHAT IF THERE WAS ANY? WE VERIFY WITH CODE COMPLIANCE IF THEY WERE IN COMPLIANCE.

ROB JOHNSON, PLANNING AND ZONING, INTERIM PLANNING AND ZONING MANAGER.

YES, WE SPOKE WITH OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER BEFORE THE HEARING AND THERE'S BEEN NO RECENT ISSUES ON THIS PROPERTY.

THERE WAS PRIOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, THERE WAS SOME ISSUES THAT SINCE HAVE BEEN CLEANED UP AND THERE'S BEEN NO ISSUE SINCE.

OK, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ROB.

AND MY QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT, OR IF STAFF KNOWS IS THE CURRENT APPLICANT HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP TO THE PREVIOUS TENANT IN THIS SPACE? WE'LL HAVE THE APPLICANT SPEAK IN A MOMENT HERE.

BUT IF YOU'RE ABLE TO ANSWER IT, GO AHEAD.

BUT THE APPLICANT WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.

JUST ASK THE QUESTION. UNDERSTOOD.

THANK YOU. NO, SIR, I DON'T HAVE ANY RECOLLECTION NOR THE STAFF.

SO THE APPLICANT MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRISTIAN? MS. WATSON? NO.

I GUESS IT WOULD BE FOR THE APPLICANT.

PARDON ME? MY QUESTION WOULD BE FOR THE APPLICANT.

OK, ALL RIGHT.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED OF CHRISTIAN CITY REPRESENTATIVES. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AT THIS TIME. WE'D LIKE TO INVITE THE APPLICANT TO THE PODIUM.

WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, GO AHEAD.

DO YOU HAVE A DO YOU WANT TO TELL US ANYTHING, DO YOU WANT TO SHARE ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PROJECT? I COME CLOSER, PLEASE, TO THE MICROPHONE, TO THE MICROPHONE.

SHE IS THE APPLICANT AND I'M HER INTERPRETER.

MY NAME IS IRENE AND I JUST TOLD HER SHE SAID SHE DOES NOT KNOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS NO CONNECTION WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER.

SHE GOT THIS PLACE FROM THE LANDLORD DIRECTORY.

BEFORE SHE STARTED HER BUSINESS.

OK, BACK IN DECEMBER 2020.

I'M SORRY.

OK. DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANYTHING SHE'D LIKE TO TELL US BEFORE WE ASK HER A FEW QUESTIONS? NO, JUST FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTION.

OK, WE'LL BEGIN WITH MR. GNAGE. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT? SHE JUST ANSWERED IT WITH NO PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP TO THE PREVIOUS TENANT.

AND FEEL FREE TO ASK YOUR QUESTION.

FIRST QUESTION IS, HOW LONG HAVE YOU DONE THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS? EXPERIENCE IN MASSAGE INDUSTRY.

AND WHAT TYPE OF MASSAGES WILL SHE BE GIVING THERE? BECAUSE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES.

SO IS IT GOING TO BE MORE THERAPEUTIC? WHAT TYPE OF MASSAGES WILL SHE BE GIVING HERE? DO YOU HAVE ANY OPTIONS OF CHOICE AND A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MASSAGE, BECAUSE I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH. IS THAT ANY LIKE SPECIALIZED OR MASSAGE, [INAUDIBLE]?

[00:40:02]

ACTUALLY, SHE'S THE OWNER.

SHE'S THE APPLICANT OF THE MASSAGE, SHE HIRE ANOTHER THERAPIST, THE MASSAGE THERAPIST WHO HAS NINE YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE MASSAGE AS A MASSAGE THERAPIST, THAT SHE WAS LICENSED, THAT IN MASSAGE IN A HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE FLORIDA HEALTH DEPARTMENT, SINCE, I BELIEVE 2000. NIDHI.

SHE ENCOURAGED OTHER THERAPIST TO WORK IN HER BUSINESS.

OK, BUT USUALLY I'M EXPERIENCING SOME OF THAT BECAUSE I GET A LOT OF MASSAGES MYSELF AND YOU HAVE DIFFERENT TYPE OF MASSAGES.

SOME PLACES YOU GO AND YOU USUALLY HAVE A MENU, SOME PLACE TO LEAN TOWARDS THE MEDICAL TYPE, THERAPEUTIC TYPE, AND SOME IS MORE FOR RELAXATION.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING, IS SHE GOING TO BE SPECIFIC AS TO WHAT SHE'S DOING THERE AND HOW LONG IS YOUR LEASE GOING TO BE? [INAUDIBLE] YEAH, THEY DO BODY MASSAGE AND A HALF HOUR OR ONE HOUR.

OK. ALL RIGHT.

OK, I HAVE A QUESTION.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT? OK, I HAVE A QUESTION.

SURE. SEEING THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT WAS VACANT.

I ONLY SEE A SKETCH OF A FLOORPLAN RIGHT HERE WITH THE LAYOUT REMAINED THE SAME.

WOULD IT BE BROUGHT UP TO CODE NEW 2020 CODE? HAS ANYONE VISITED THE ESTABLISHMENT TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE INSIDE.

NO, MA'AM, ONLY OUTSIDE ONLY.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS TO APPLY THEIR LICENSE FROM THE CITY, AND ESPECIALLY IF THIS PROCESS IS ONE PART OF IT.

SO NEXT STEP, I THINK OF THE CITY INSPECTOR WILL BE THERE TO DO THE CODING INSPECTION AND THE BEAUTY AND PROPERTY, USUALLY BY MY EXPERIENCE AND THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH INSPECTION DID THE INSPECTION ALREADY AS DISCRETION IN THIS.

WE GOT THIS FLOORPLAN FROM THE LANDLORD, NOT THE TEST.

AND WE DON'T REALIZE ANY CHANGE.

WE PER OUR CONVERSATION WITH THE LANDLORD, NOT ANY MAJOR CHANGE OR [INAUDIBLE] INSIDE OF THE BUILDING, BUT SAID YOU CAN GO THERE TO VERIFY DURING THE BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT APPLICATION PROCESS.

OK, WELL, I'M SORRY, IF I MAY ADD, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH A SAFETY APPLICATION PROCESS BEFORE THE BUSINESS IS OPEN AND BEFORE THEY'RE ISSUED A BUSINESS TAX RECEIPT OR A BUSINESS LICENSE. GOOD.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING. YES, MA'AM.

SO, YES, IT GOES THROUGH ALL THROUGH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.

FIRST WE GO OUT AND DO THE INSPECTIONS.

AFTERWARDS, THEY RECEIVE THEIR BUSINESS LICENSE, OK.

IF APPROVED. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT, I HAVE A QUESTION, MS. DENG, I UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU'VE HAD A MASSAGE BUSINESS AND HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE DECEMBER OF 2020.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN OPERATING? WHAT CITY HAVE YOU BEEN IN? WE GET APPROVED FROM FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ALREADY, NEED THE INSPECTION AND WE ARE BRINGING THE BACK INITIATED FOR US.

AND THE NEXT STEP IS GO TO THE CITY.

THIS IS, I THINK, A STARTING POINT OF THE OF OUR PROCESS, I CONTACT WITH CHRISTIAN MANY TIMES FOR OVER A MONTH.

SO GO TO THE DETAIL AND MEET WITH HIM ONCE AND THROUGH EMAIL MANY, MANY TIMES.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE HIS HELP.

THIS PLACE WAS A MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT IN THE PREVIOUS NINE YEARS AND IN THE I BELIEVE THE INFORMATION FROM THE CITY, CANCELLED THE LICENSE IN SEPTEMBER 2020.

AND THERE WE BECAME THE TENANT OF THAT PLACE IN DECEMBER.

[00:45:01]

SO THAT'S WHY I THINK THERE'S A SPECIAL EXCEPTION.

HAS TO BE ONE PART OF THE PROCEDURE.

OK, I UNDERSTAND.

AGAIN, THAT THAT BASED ON THE EVIDENCE TESTIMONY PRESENTED HERE THIS MORNING, THERE'S A DETERMINATION THAT THE APPLICANT DOES OR DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE, OK?

[Items F.3. - F.5.]

IS THAT OK? YEAH.

IN FACT, ARE ITEMS TWO, THREE AND FOUR ARE ALL RELATED.

STAFF'S PRESENTATION WILL COVER ALL THREE ITEMS, BUT YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO VOTE ON THEM SEPARATELY. OK, SO BOARD WE'LL INTRODUCE AND HEAR ALL THREE ITEMS TWO, THREE AND FOUR TOGETHER FOR STAFF PRESENTATION AND OR APPLICANT'S REBUTTAL.

HOWEVER, WE WILL VOTE ON EACH ITEM INDIVIDUALLY.

[00:50:01]

WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON EACH THING INDIVIDUALLY.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM NUMBER TWO IS PARKSIDE MEMORY CARE, ALF ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY FLEX AND REDEVELOPMENT UNITS AND ACREAGE.

THE PETITIONER IS CLIFFORD R.

AT THIS TIME WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM CITY REPRESENTATIVE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

GOOD MORNING. FOR THE RECORD, I'M ROB JOHNSON, INTERIM PLANNING AND ZONING MANAGER FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

CLIFFORD LUTIN, PE AND DENA GRAY, ESQUIRE, DESIGNATED AGENTS FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS SERENA PROPERTIES, PEMBROKE PINES LLC ARE REQUESTING ALLOCATION OF 72 BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS TO ALLOW FOR A SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, CATEGORY THREE, AS DEFINED BY THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE PLAN CONTAINING SEVENTY TWO SLEEPING ROOMS. ADDITIONALLY, CLIFF LUTIN AND DENA GRAY, ESQUIRE, DESIGNATED AGENTS FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE REQUESTING APPROVAL VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR A MINIMUM PARKING REQUIRED OF 37 PARKING SPACES FOR A FORTY THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IN LIEU OF A MINIMUM OF 92 PARKING SPACES AND A VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR A BUFFER AREA ON THE NONRESIDENTIAL PLOT WITH A MINIMUM CONTINUOUS DEPTH OF 13 FEET OF LANDSCAPING ALONG A PORTION OF THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE AND 14 FEET OF LANDSCAPING ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE IN LIEU OF A MINIMUM CONTINUOUS DEPTH OF 25 FEET OF LANDSCAPING FOR A PROPERTY THAT DIRECTLY ABUTS A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

AND THEN FINALLY, CLIFF LUTIN AND DENA GRAY, ESQUIRE DESIGNATORS FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER SERENA PROPERTY.

PEMBROKE PINES, LLC ARE REQUESTING SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW TWO STORY ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY FOR MEMORY CARE RESIDENTS CONTAINING A TOTAL OF 96 BEDS IN SEVENTY TWO SLEEPING ROOMS. THE VACANT SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE EXISTING AT&T PROPERTY ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND NW 76TH STREET, THE PROPOSED ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY WILL BE ADDRESS A 7501 NW 76TH STREET.

THE PROPERTY IS 23.3 ACRES IN SIZE, HAS A CITY OF TAMARAC FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND A ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES IS ALSO LOCATED IN COMMISSION DISTRICT FOUR FOR DEBRA PLACKO.

OK, SO ON JULY 11, 2018, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS REZONED FROM B1 NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT TO PF PUBLIC FACILITIES PURSUANT TO THE CITYWIDE REZONING AND REVISED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ADOPTION BY THE CITY COMMISSION.

ON AUGUST 22ND, 2018, ASMALL-SCALE LAND USE LOCAL LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT WAS APPROVED BY

[00:55:06]

THE PREVIOUS FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF UTILITIES ALLOWED FOR UTILITIES, ANCILLARY USES, RECREATION, NONRESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURE AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES BUT DID NOT ALLOW FOR SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES.

THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION ALLOWS FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES, SUCH AS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.

THE PROPOSED ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IS DEFINED AS A SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, CATEGORY THREE, BY THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE PLAN, A SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, CATEGORY THREE MEANS A ANY HOUSING FACILITY LICENSED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA OR MORE FOR MORE THAN 16 NON ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS WHO REQUIRE TREATMENT, CARE, REHABILITATION OR EDUCATION. THIS INCLUDES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DEPENDENT CHILDREN, PHYSICALLY DISABLED, DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED OR INDIVIDUAL IS NOT OVERLY HARM TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS OR BE IN HOUSING FACILITY LICENSED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR MORE THAN EIGHT UNRELATED ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS, OR C GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED HOUSING FACILITIES ENTIRELY DEVOTED TO CARE OF ELDERLY DEPENDENT CHILDREN, THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED, DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED OR INDIVIDUALS NOT OVERLY OF HARM TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS.

D ANY NOT FOR PROFIT HOUSING FACILITY FOR UNRELATED ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS AND THEN E ANY HOUSING FACILITY WHICH PROVIDES A LIFE CARE ENVIRONMENT.

AND SO THE PROPOSED ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IS DEFINED AS A SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY THREE AND THEN PURSUANT TO THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE PLAN, SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES PROVISIONS AND ALLOCATION OF REDEVELOPMENT OR FLEXIBILITY OR BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS. THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE PLAN ALLOWS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PERMIT A MAXIMUM OF ONE HUNDRED BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS THAT ARE PERMANENTLY DEDICATED TO SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL USE WITHOUT ALLOCATING DENSITY.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE RULES DOCUMENT BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE PLAN THEN ALLOWS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO UTILIZE THE SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES PROVISIONS OF THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE PLAN. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PROVISIONS ARE INCORPORATED WITHIN THE CERTIFIED LOCAL LAND USE PLAN.

THE SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES PROVISIONS OF THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE PLAN SHALL BE UTILIZED AS A SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY OF THE[INAUDIBLE] PLAN HAVE NOT BEEN INCORPORATED IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE ALLOCATION OF 72 BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS IS REQUIRED TO ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, CATEGORY THREE, CONTAINING SEVENTY TWO SLEEPING ROOMS PURSUANT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE RULE DOCUMENT.

WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THE BROWARD COUNTY PLANNING COUNCIL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO APPROVAL BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES PROJECTS INVOLVING THE ALLOCATION OF ALL, OR A PORTION OF THE ONE HUNDRED BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS FOR WHICH THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE TO ASSIGN DENSITY.

ALL RIGHT, IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A GUEST IN THE HOUSE.

WE'LL JUST MOVE ALONG.

THEY SAID THEY WERE HERE.

THE ALLOCATION OF 72 BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS IS REQUIRED TO ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED.

OK, SO THEN WE GOT THE APPROVAL FROM BROWARD COUNTY.

WE RECEIVED FROM BROWARD COUNTY PLANNING COUNCIL DIRECTOR BARBARA [INAUDIBLE] ON MAY 19, 2021. SO WE GOT THE APPROVAL TO ALLOCATE THE THE BONUS SLEEPING ROOM FROM PLANNING COUNCIL. OK, SO THE LANE DEVELOPMENT CODE IDENTIFIES NEW STANDARDS TO BE EMPLOYED, BUT ALLOCATING FLEX OR REDEVELOPMENT UNITS, ASSIGNING BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS IS A MATTER COMMITTED TO THE LEGISLATIVE THE DIRECTION OF THE DISCRETION OF THE CITY COMMISSION.

IN DECIDING THE APPLICATION, THE CITY COMMISSION SHALL CONSIDER THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED TO USE THE BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS, THE FIVE REVIEW STANDARDS TO BE EMPLOYED WHEN ALLOCATING FLEX OR REDEVELOPMENT UNITS ARE SHOWN IN THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, AND SO PROVIDED IN THE INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM FOR THE PARKSIDE MEMORY CARE ALF.

OUR RESPONSE IS TO REVIEW STANDARDS TO BE EMPLOYED WHEN ALLOCATING FLEX OR REDEVELOPMENT UNITS AS THEY APPLY TO THE SUBJECT PETITION.

AND IT IS THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE REVIEW STANDARDS FOR THE ALLOCATION OF BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS OUTLINED IN THE LANE DEVELOPMENT CODE HAVE BEEN SATISFIED. OK, SO NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FACILITY, THE PROPOSED ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY WILL FEATURE A NEW TWO STORY BUILDING CONTAINING 96 BEDS WITH SEVENTY TWO SLEEPING ROOMS. THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY BUILDING IS PROPOSED AT FORTY THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET AND GROSS FLOOR AREA AND IS ORGANIZED AROUND A CENTRALLY LOCATED

[01:00:01]

THREE TYPES OF ROOMS ARE AVAILABLE WITHIN THE FOUR SELF-CONTAINED NEIGHBORHOODS, THOSE ARE A SINGLE OCCUPANT STUDIO PROVIDED A TWO HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE SQUARE FEET.

THERE'S A SINGLE OCCUPANT LARGE STUDIO FOR ABOUT A TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SQUARE FEET.

AND THEN THERE'S A DUAL OCCUPANT ROOMMATE STUDIO PROVIDED A TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SQUARE FEET. AND THEN ALL ROOMS CONTAIN A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL, ACCESSIBLE BATHROOMS. AND THEN THE COMMON AREAS WITHIN EACH NEIGHBORHOOD CONTAINED SEATING FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS. THEY HAVE TVS, COMPUTER STATIONS FOR VIRTUAL COMMUNICATIONS, A KITCHEN THAT IS STAFFED BY THE CENTRAL MAIN KITCHEN COMMUTING TABLES.

AND THEN THERE'S ACCESS TO THE TERRACES, TO THE OUTSIDE TERRACES, WHICH I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT NOW. AND SO THERE'S WALKWAY AREAS AND THE REAR OF THE BUILDING THAT WILL CONNECT TO THE OUTDOOR TERRACES.

THE WALKWAY AREAS WILL BE PROTECTED BY A DECORATIVE ALUMINUM PICKET FENCE, FINISHED AND ANODIZED BRONZE TO RESTRICT RESIDENTS TO THE OUTDOOR TERRACES AND THE REAR WALKWAYS.

SCREEN TERRACES WILL BE PROVIDED ON BOTH FLOORS AND LANDSCAPED GARDENS WILL BE PROVIDED WITHIN THE OUTDOOR TERRACES ON THE GROUND FLOOR.

ALL CLOTHING IS WASHED IN LAUNDRY ROOMS WITHIN EACH NEIGHBORHOOD, AND EACH NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A CENTRAL NURSE'S DESK FOR TWENTY FOUR HOUR SUPERVISION.

TRASH FROM THE SECOND FLOOR WILL BE DISPOSED THROUGH A CHUTE THAT IS LOCATED IN A SEPARATE TRASH ROOM AND ROUTED DOWN TO CONTAINERS WITHIN THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE ADJACENT TO THE REAR OF THE BUILDING. THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE WILL CONTAIN TWO OR THREE YARD TRASH CONTAINERS AND ONE 96 GALLON RECYCLING CONTAINER THAT WILL BE SERVICED TWO TIMES A WEEK AND WILL BE CONCEALED BY SOLID OAK GATES.

THE LOCATION OF THE DESIGN OF THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE WAS APPROVED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT.

HOWEVER, THE TRASH CONTAINERS WILL NEED TO BE MANUALLY ROLLED OUT TO BE SERVICED.

IT HAS BEEN VERIFIED THAT THE LOCATIONS OF THE ROLLED OUT DUMPSTERS WILL NOT OBSTRUCT THE REAR ACCESS DRIVE, NOR THE ACCESS TO THE LOADING ZONES WHEN THEY'RE ROLLED OUT.

OK, SO THE FACILITY WILL BE STAFFED BY ADMINISTRATORS, MARKETING REPRESENTATIVES, NURSES, DOCTORS, NURSING ASSISTANTS, A CHEF WITH ASSISTANTS, HOUSEKEEPING AND MAINTENANCE PERSONS . THE DAILY SHIFT TIME FOR ADMINISTRATION, KITCHEN STAFF AND DOCTORS IS GENERALLY 9:00 A.M. TO 5:00 P.M.

AND CONSISTS OF EIGHT PERSONS.

THE STAFF, THEN THE STAFF FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS, WILL WORK IN THREE SHIFTS.

THE FIRST SHIFT IS FROM 7:00 A.M.

TO THREE P.M. AND WILL CONSIST OF 16 STAFF PERSONS.

THE SECOND SHIFT IS BETWEEN 3:00 P.M.

11:00 AND HAS 12 STAFF PERSONS.

AND THEN THE THIRD SHIFT IS FROM 11:00 P.M.

TO 7 A.M.

AND HAS FIVE STAFF PERSONS.

SO THEN BASED ON A SIMILAR FACILITY OWNED BY THE APPLICANT, 80 PERCENT OF THE STAFF COMES IN THEIR OWN VEHICLE REQUIRING A PARKING SPACE.

THIS CALCULATES TO A MAXIMUM PARKING LOAD OF 19 TO 20 OCCUPIED PARKING SPACES DURING PEAK STAFF TIME. VEHICLE ACCESS TO THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IS BEING PROVIDED BY AN INGRESS EGRESS FROM NW 76TH STREET THAT ALLOWS FOR FULL TURNING MOVEMENTS ON NW 76TH STREET AND THEN IN AN INGRESS ONLY ACCESS ONTO NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE IS PROVIDED BY A SHARE EGRESS EASEMENT LOCATED ON THE ADJACENT AT&T TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH. THAT ONLY ALLOWS A RIGHT TURN ONTO UNIVERSITY DRIVE, ACCORDING TO SHARE IS PROVIDED IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS FOR THE LOADING AND UNLOADING OF RESIDENTS.

AND THEN YOU HAVE A LOADING ZONE IN THE REAR OF THE FACILITY TO ALLOW FOR DELIVERIES.

THE PARTY CRASHER IS HIGHLIGHTED BY A WATER FEATURE THAT'S IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, BUT THE DESIGN OF THE WATER FEATURE HAS YET TO BE FINALIZED, WHICH WILL BE DONE DURING THE BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS.

PROTECTION AND ACCESS. THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IS FROM SIDEWALKS ON NW 76TH STREET AND NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THERE'S A BUS STOP INCLUDING A COMPLETE BUS SHELTER ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE, WHICH IS ABOUT THREE HUNDRED FEET FROM THE SIDEWALK ON NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THEN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE SOUTH OF THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE THAT CROSSES UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF ACCESS.

A TWO WAY DRIVE IS PROVIDED IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO ACCESS THE PARKING SPACES AND THE PORCH SHARE.

AND A ONE WAY DRIVE IS PROVIDED AROUND THE THE REAR OF THE BUILDING TO ACCESS THE REMAINDER OF THE PARKING SPACES IN THE LOADING ZONE.

THIRTY SEVEN PARKING SPACES ARE PROPOSED TO SUPPORT THE SEVENTY TWO ROOM ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY WHERE NINETY TWO PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED BASED ON A MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENT OF ONE PARKING SPACE PER FOUR HUNDRED SQUARE FEET OF NET FLOOR AREA AND UTILIZING A 15 PERCENT REDUCTION OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUS STOP ON NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

ACCOMPANYING THIS REQUEST IS AN APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR THE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENT OF THE THIRTY SEVEN PARKING SPACES IN LIEU OF THE MINIMUM NINETY TWO PARKING

[01:05:01]

ENGINEERS WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT.

THE STATEMENT ESTIMATED PROJECT TRIP GENERATION RATES TO EXAMINE THE PEAK PARKING DEMAND, UTILIZING INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS, TRIP GENERATION AND PARKING DEMAND FORMULAS. THE TRIP GENERATION AND PARKING STATEMENT CONCLUDES THAT THE PROPOSED ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY VEHICLE TRIPS PER DAY, WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE 18 TRIPS OCCURRING DURING THE A.M.

PEAK HOUR WITH 11 INBOUND AND SEVEN OUTBOUND.

AND THEN YOU HAVE TWENTY FIVE TRIPS DURING THE P.M.

PEAK HOUR WITH 10 INBOUND AND 15 OUTBOUND.

THE ANALYSIS CONCLUDES THAT THE THIRTY SEVEN PARKING SPACES PROPOSED ARE EXPECTED TO ADEQUATELY ACCOMMODATE THE ANTICIPATED PARKING DEMAND OF THE PARK SIDE MEMORY CARE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.

THE TRIP DURATION PARKING STATEMENT WAS REVIEWED BY THERE BY OUR CITIES TRAFFIC CONSULTANT TRAFFIC. WHO WAS HERE TODAY.

WHO WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THE CITY'S TRAFFIC CONSULTANT REVIEWED THE TRIP GENERATION CALCULATIONS AND CONCURRED WITH THE RESULTS OF THE STATEMENT.

FURTHERMORE, THE CITY'S TRAFFIC [INAUDIBLE] CONCURRED THAT THE PROPOSED PARKING SUPPLY SHOULD BE ADEQUATE TO MEET THE ANTICIPATED PARKING DEMAND.

TWO HUNDRED SIX TREES CONSISTING OF ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE SHADE TREES, SIX PALM TREES AND SIXTY NINE SMALL TREES WILL BE PLANTED THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO ALSO HAVE ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY THREE SHRUBS PLANTED ON THE PROPERTY. PROPOSED SHADE TREES ARE GOING TO INCLUDE RED MAPLE [INAUDIBLE], BRAZILIAN BEAUTY LEAF, PIGEON, PLUM, GREEN, BUTTONWOOD, [INAUDIBLE], PINES, LIVE OAKS PINK [INAUDIBLE], BALD CYPRESS TREES.

AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME ROYAL PALMS AS THE PALM TREES AND THEN SMALL TREES.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SMALL [INAUDIBLE], SOME SILVER BUDWOOD, SOME ORANGE GEIGER'S, THE [INAUDIBLE]HOLLY CREAM GRAPE, MYRTLE'S MAGNOLIA AND SOME SIMPSONS STOPPER TREES.

THOSE ARE SOME EXAMPLES ON THE SCREEN FOR YOU.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ABUTS A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ALONG A PORTION OF THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE AND ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE PROPERTIES THAT DIRECTLY BUT OR A DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM ANY PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY TO NOW OR OTHER WATER BODY OR ANY OTHER SEPARATOR FROM ANY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A BUFFER AREA ON THE NONRESIDENTIAL PLOT.

THE BUFFER AREA IS REQUIRED AT A CONTINUOUS DEPTH OF TWENTY FIVE FEET OF LANDSCAPE AREA.

A BUFFER AREA WITH A MINIMUM CONTINUOUS DEPTH OF 13 FEET OF LANDSCAPING IS PROVIDED ALONG A PORTION OF THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE AND 14 FEET OF LANDSCAPE AREA IS PROPOSED ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE, PROMPTING THE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL VARIANCE.

SO THE PURPOSE OF THE VARIANCE IS TO ALLOW FOR CERTAIN DEVIATIONS FROM THE STANDARDS OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WHEN THE LANDOWNER DEMONSTRATES THAT ONLY THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL, THE LITTLE APPLICATION OF THE STANDARDS WOULD RESULT IN AN UNDUE AND UNIQUE HARDSHIP TO THE LANDOWNER, AND THE DEVIATION WOULD NOT BE CONTRARY TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IDENTIFIES THE GENERAL VARIANCE STANDARDS TO BE EMPLOYED.

A VARIANCE SHALL ONLY BE RECOMMENDED BY IF THE PLANNING BOARD REACHES EACH OF THE GENERAL REVIEW, STANDARD CONCLUSIONS BASED ON THE FINDING OF FACT, SUPPORTED BY COMPETENT, SOME SUBSTANTIAL AND MATERIAL EVIDENCE.

THE GENERAL VARIANCE REVIEW STANDARDS, CONCLUSIONS THAT MUST BE MET TO ENSURE APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE ARE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU PROVIDED IN THE INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM OUR RESPONSES TO THE GENERAL OVERVIEW STANDARDS AS THEY APPLY TO THE SUBJECT PETITION.

IT IS THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF INVOLVEMENT THAT THE REQUEST FOR VARIANCE REACHES EACH OF THE GENERAL VARIANCE REVIEW STANDARD CONCLUSIONS BASED ON FINDINGS OF FACT SUPPORTED BY COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL AND MATERIAL EVIDENCE.

THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTS THE POSITION BASED ON THE FACT THAT OWING TO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS BEYOND THE ARMS CONTROL, THE LITERAL APPLICATION OF THE STANDARDS WOULD RESULT IN AN UNDUE AND UNIQUE HARDSHIP TO THE LANDOWNER, AND THE DEVIATION WOULD NOT BE CONTRARY TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY BUILDING HAS PROVIDED TWO FLOORS AND A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF THIRTY TWO FEET, NINE INCHES IN HEIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE HIGHEST PARAPET WHERE A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 60 FEET IS PERMITTED IN THE ZONING DISTRICT.

THE BUILDING FEATURES A SAND FINISHED STUCCO EXTERIOR, PAINTED STONE, GOLD AND WHITE AND COLOR WITH FOOTHILL PAINTED ACCENT COLORS.

A STONE VENEER WILL HIGHLIGHT THE FRONT BUILDING ENTRY AND WOOD SCREENS.

AND WOOD VENEERS WILL ACCENT THE BUILDING ENDS ALUMINUM PERGOLAS FINISHED IN AN ANODIZED BRONZE ARE PROPOSED OVER ALL OUTSIDE TERRACES LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR, AND WINDOWS WILL BE PROVIDED ON ALL SIDES OF THE BUILDING.

ADDITIONALLY, ALUMINUM CANOPIES FINISHED 9IN THE ANODIZED BRONZE ARE PROPOSED OVER WINDOWS ON BOTH FLOORS.

[01:10:03]

THE ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT REVIEW CONFIRMED ALL SITE AND BUILDING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS ARE SATISFIED, INCLUDING [INAUDIBLE] BUILDING DESIGN STANDARDS THAT FOSTER HIGH QUALITY, ATTRACTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.

THE GENERAL BUILDING DESIGN STANDARDS INCLUDE FORESIGHTED ARCHITECTURE, SHADED SIDEWALKS, SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ARTICULATION, FACADE TRANSPARENCY, PEDESTRIAN DESIGN, BUILDING ENTRANCE AND AMENITIES.

THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ALSO IDENTIFY SITE PLAN APPROVAL STANDARDS TO BE DETERMINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST.

THOSE THREE SITE PLAN APPROVAL STANDARDS THAT MUST BE DETERMINED ARE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, PROVIDED IN AN OFFICE MEMORANDUM OR RESPONSES TO EACH OF THOSE STANDARDS AS THEY APPLY TO THE SUBJECT PETITION AND IS AGAIN THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

SO ALL ITEMS SUPPORT GOAL NUMBER FOUR OF THE CITY'S 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN, TAMARAC IS VIBRANT. THE APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE WILL ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUBJECT PROPERTY, A VACANT SUBJECT PROPERTY, THEREBY PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVITALIZE THE APPEARANCE, IMAGE AND ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE CITY.

ITEMS NUMBER TWO AND NUMBER THREE ALSO SUPPORT POLICY 1.4 OF THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH STATES THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT WILL CONTINUE TO REVIEW LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS, ZONING AMENDMENTS, SITE PLANS AND PLAN APPROVAL REQUESTS FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJACENT USES AS CURRENTLY REQUIRED IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES.

AND SO FOR ITEM NUMBER ONE, THE DIRECTOR RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD AFFORD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED ALLOCATION OF 72 BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS TO ALLOW FOR A SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, CATEGORY THREE, AS DEFINED BY THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE PLAN CONTAINING SEVENTY TWO SLEEPING ROOMS TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS JUNE 23, 2021 MEETING WITH A CONDITION OF APPROVAL SHOWN ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

ADDITIONALLY, FOR ITEM NUMBER TWO, THE DIRECTOR RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FOR A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED VARIANCE REQUEST FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 10-4.3 D2, TABLE 10-4.1 AND SECTION 10-4.3D 3CI OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS JUNE 23, 2021 MEETING WITH THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT'S SHOWN ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE DIRECTOR RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD AFFORD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN APPROVAL MADE TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW TWO STORY ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY FROM MEMORY CARE RESIDENTS CONTAINING A TOTAL OF 96 BEDS AND SEVENTY TWO SLEEPING ROOMS TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS JUNE 23RD, 2021 MEETING WITH THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL SHOWN ON SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.

I WILL ACCEPT QUESTIONS FOLLOWING THE PRESENTATION BY THE APPLICANT AND THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

DOES ANYONE FROM THE BOARD HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF THIS MORNING REGARDING THE PROJECT? MR. NEGI? ACTUALLY I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS.

FIRST, THE DEFINITION OF A BONUS ROOM, AS I UNDERSTAND IT FROM YOUR PRESENTATION, IS IT'S A ROOM OR A RESIDENCE TYPE FACILITY THAT DOES NOT COUNT AGAINST YOUR DENSITY RESTRICTIONS FOR THE ADDRESS, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT.

HOWEVER, THE BROWARD COUNTY DOES REQUIRE US TO ALLOCATE THOSE BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS TO ALLOW FOR THE USE. RIGHT.

OK, NEXT QUESTION.

IT WAS HARD TO SEE ON SITE WHEN THERE WAS A LITTLE SMALL.

IS THERE ANY WALL PROPOSED SEPARATING THIS FACILITY FROM THE RESIDENTS OR FENCE OR ANYTHING SIMILAR? AND IS THERE ANY OTHER? YEA, THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE BUFFER AREA ARE PROVIDED.

THEY WILL HAVE THE REQUIRED WALL, WHICH IS SHOWN HERE, AND THEN COMES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE PROPERTY LINE. AND THEN THEY HAVE THE BOTH THE REQUIRED TREES THAT ARE REQUIRED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WALL.

SO THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE REQUIRED BUFFER WIDTH THAT IS REQUIRED.

BUT ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BUFFER ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL HAS BEEN MET.

WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF THAT WALL? SIX FEET.

SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL, SOLID MASONRY.

AND WITH REGARD TO THE PARKING EXEMPTION, IS IT ANTICIPATED THAT THE RESIDENTS IN THIS FACILITY ARE NOT EITHER PERMITTED OR CAPABLE OF COMING AND GOING AS THEY PLEASE AND

[01:15:03]

SO THEY'RE PRETTY RESTRICTED TO THE RESIDENTS ONLY.

THAT'S SORT OF WHY WE HAVE THE FENCE IN THE BACK THAT PREVENTS THEIR ACCESS TO THE OTHER AREAS OF THE PROPERTY.

SO TYPICALLY YEAH, THEY JUST GET DROPPED OFF.

AND ARE THEY? DO YOU KNOW THIS MAY BE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT IF THEY'RE ALLOWED TO HAVE VISITORS? YES, I BELIEVE GUESTS ARE ALLOWED.

YEAH. SO POTENTIALLY IF THEY HAD I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND IT'S WORST CASE SCENARIO, BUT IF THEY HAD NINETY SIX RESIDENTS IN 72 UNITS YOU COULD AT.

POTENTIALLY, YOU HAVE 72 VISITORS, NOT THAT IT'S LIKELY, RIGHT, BUT THAT'S VERY UNLIKELY, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY UNLIKELY.

THE APPLICANT CAN PROBABLY ADDRESS THE VISITORS SO THAT THEY GET TO THE PROPERTY.

BUT THE TRAFFIC WAS VERIFIED BASED ON A SIMILAR FACILITY THAT THEY HAD AND THE NUMBER OF STAFF AND GUESTS THAT THEY GET ON A DAILY DAY.

THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS.

YEAH, I HAVE A SON WITH RESPECT TO ITEM NUMBER ONE, THE FLEX AND THE BONUS ROOMS. TECHNICALLY, IT'S NOT THE APPLICATION OF FLEX, RIGHT? YOU'RE NOT USING FLEX UNITS? NO, WE'RE NOT USING FLEX, WE'RE USING BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS FOR THIS OVER THE APPLICATION.

THAT'S HOW IT'S JUST YOUR END.

YOU NEED TO BE A FLEX APPLICATION.

CORRECT. THE THE 100 BONUS ROOMS AT THE CITY HAS THIS IS WE USE UP 72 OF WHAT'S GOING TO BECOME OF THE OTHER. TWENTY EIGHT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED TO THE FACILITY TO THE NORTH. DID THEY USE ANY OF THEM OR ANY OF MUSEUM BECAUSE THE PRODUCTION CODE WASN'T AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER, WE WILL KEEP THE REMAINING 20 UNITS IN A POOL THAT WE THAT WILL THEN BE ABLE TO ALLOCATE FOR FUTURE USES.

IF THEY REQUEST ROOMS ABOVE THE BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS, THEN WE CAN ALLOCATE FLEX REDEVELOPMENT UNITS TOWARD THAT PROJECT.

VERY GOOD. WITH RESPECT TO ITEM, WE SPOKE TO THE VARIANCE.

I NOTICED THAT IT WAS A COMBINED VARIANCE IN ONE ITEM, BUT IT'S TWO SEPARATE SECTIONS OF THE CODE AND THAT'S CORRECT? CORRECT. WITH RESPECT TO THE PARKING IS ONE VARIANCE.

CORRECT? LANDSCAPE BUFFER DEPTH IS A SECOND ONE.

CORRECT. SO APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE IS APPROVING BOTH.

IS THAT HOW WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE THIS? OR HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE YOUR TO MAKE YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT RELATED? THAT'S CORRECT.

THEY'RE SEPARATE. THEY'RE SEPARATE ITEMS, YOU KNOW, ONES REGARDING THE LANDSCAPE WITH AND ONES REGARDING PARKING SO THAT YOU CAN FRAME YOUR MOTION.

THE IDEA THAT THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THAT FLOOR AREA.

IA THAT THE RATIO? YEAH, IT'S ONE IN 400.

IS THE FORTY THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT IN NET AREA OR IS IT GROSS SQUARE FOOTAGE? IT'S A NET. IT'S A NET.

YEAH, OK.

CHECKING MY NOTES HERE FOR A SECOND.

OH, I DID SEE IN THE BACK OF THE APPLICANT'S TRAFFIC PERSON, THEY DID AN ANALYSIS THAT ALSO CALCULATED SOMETHING ABOUT VAN SERVICE.

ANOTHER 10 PERCENT REDUCTION.

IT HAD A CHART IN THERE, THEIR ANALYSIS THAT SHOWED THEY USE THE 15 PERCENT THAT'S ALLOWED IN THE CODE FOR THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUS STOP.

OK, BUT THEN THEY SHOWED ANOTHER 10 PERCENT FOR SOME SPECIAL SERVICE, WHICH THEY IDENTIFIED AS VAN SERVICE.

SO THEY IN THEIR ANALYSIS, THEY TOOK ANOTHER 10 PERCENT OUT.

SO IN THAT CHART, THEY'RE SAYING THAT PER CODE, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE EIGHTY ONE.

SO THE REDUCTION WOULD BE FROM 81 TO 37.

WELL, AT ONE TIME THERE WERE SEEKING AN ADDITIONAL 10 PERCENT REDUCTION THAT THEY'RE NO LONGER SEEKING. OK, YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY THE DISCREPANCY.

THE ITEM THE OTHER ITEM ON THE VARIANCE FOR THE FOUR YARD WIDTH.

COULD YOU GO TO THE GRAPHIC WHERE YOU HIGHLIGHT THAT IN GREEN WAS MAYBE A SLIGHT ONE? THAT I HAVE A SCREEN NOW? OR I THINK IT'S PRETTY THE AND HIGHLIGHTS THE GREEN AREA.

YEAH, LET ME SHOW YOU THAT WHERE WE HAD THE OUTSIDE AREA.

THIS ONE. NOW THIS ONE HERE.

YEAH. IT DOESN'T SHOW THE PERIMETER THAT THIS JUST SHOWS THE ALONG THE BUILDING, THE.

IS IT? IN BOTH CASES, IS IT THE AVERAGE, BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE JUST SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS IF I'M LOOKING AT IT PROPERLY, BUT ON THAT PARTICULAR GRAPHIC, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME AREAS THAT ARE THINNER THAN OTHERS.

WELL, WE'RE TALKING THE AREA TO THE NORTH HERE ALONG THE NORTH BEFORE IT'S 13 FEET HERE.

IS IT UNIFORM? YEAH, IT'S UNIFORM.

IS IT UNIFORM ON BOTH SIDES? YEAH. SO IT'S NOT AN AVERAGE.

SOME AREAS ARE WIDER THAN I KNOW NOW BECAUSE IT'S TYPICALLY TWENTY FIVE REQUIRED ON A

[01:20:03]

YEAH. IT FITS IN THERE.

ARE YOU JAMMING THEM IN THERE? YEAH. IF IT'S APPROPRIATELY.

IF IT'S APPROPRIATELY.

YEAH. BECAUSE YOU, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE DRIVE THERE SO YOU WOULD HAVE THE TREES OVERHANG BECAUSE I KNOW BUT IT'S APPROPRIATE IN CASES WHERE YOU DO THAT AND YOU STILL JAMMING ALL YOUR REQUIRED PLANTING REQUIREMENTS, ALL THE TREES AND SHRUBS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, IT CAN COMPROMISE THE SURVIVABILITY OF SOME OF THESE, THESE PLANTING MATERIALS JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.

THAT'S WHY THE TWENTY FIVE.

AMONG THE REASONS WHY THE TWENTY FIVE FOOT WITH WOULD BE REQUIRED IS BECAUSE YOU CAN DO A DENSE BUFFER, THE LANDSCAPING, YOU CAN FIT ALL THE MATERIAL IN THERE.

MANY START NARROWING THAT DOWN, ESPECIALLY ALMOST AT HALF.

YOU KNOW, IT REALLY COMPROMISES THE ABILITY TO PLANT MATERIAL TO DO WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO IN TERMS OF SURVIVE.

SO I JUST ASK THAT QUESTION, IS STAFF SATISFIED THAT THE REQUIRED PLANTING MATERIAL, THE AMOUNT OF TREES, THE AMOUNT OF SHRUBS CAN ACTUALLY FIT? YES, YEAH, WE BELIEVE SO.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT VERIFIED THAT BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SHADE TREES THAT ARE REQUIRED AND SMALL TREES.

AND SO AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE SEPARATION OF SMALL TREES, BECAUSE THIS UNDERCOAT, IS IT BECAUSE SMALL TREES OR UNDERGROWTH.

BECAUSE THE CITY'S CODE REQUIRES SO MANY TREES PER LINEAR FEET? CORRECT. IS THAT HOW THAT WORKS? YEAH. SO FOR INSTANCE.

CORRECT. SO, FOR INSTANCE, THIS REQUIRES IF I CAN GET TO IT ONE SECOND.

YOU NEED ONE.

ONE SHADE TREE EVERY 40 FEET, AND THEN YOU NEED WELL, YOU NEED TWO TREES, ONE TREE BEING A SHADE TREE SHALL BE INSTALLED EVERY 30 FEET.

THAT'S ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE WALL AND THEN ON THE INTERIOR OF THE WALL, YOU NEED ONE TREE, ONE SHADE TREE EVERY 40 FEET AND A HEDGE.

SO ON THE INSIDE OF THE WALL, YOU NEED ONE SHADE TREE EVERY 40 FEET IN A HEDGE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WALL, YOU NEED TWO TREES WITH ONE BEING A SHADE TREE EVERY 30 FEET AND A HEDGE. AND SO THEY PROVIDED THAT.

THANKS. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT CHAIRMAN, BUT ONE MORE THING FOR STAFF.

ALL OF THESE REQUIRE PUBLIC NOTICE.

IF THE POST PROPERTY, YOU HAVE TO PUT AN AD IN THE PAPER.

YES, YOU'VE GOT TO SEND. BUT HOW MUCH IS GOING TO SINK TO THE 400 FOOT RADIUS OF THE PROPERTY 15 DAYS PRIOR? IT'S ALL BEEN PROPERLY. ANY COMMENTS FROM ANY RESIDENTIAL SIDE? NO, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM FROM THE RESIDENTS AT THIS TIME.

OK, THANKS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, MR. [INAUDIBLE].

DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WITH A QUESTION? I HAVE A QUESTION. OK, MS. BELL.. MY FIRST LOOK AT THE PARKING CALCULATION, I SEE THAT YOU WENT IT'S ALMOST.

A LITTLE BELOW HALF OF THE REQUIRED, AND WHILE THE CITY DID ITS DUE DILIGENCE IN WORKING OUT THE REDUCTIONS AND PROVIDING THE PARKING STUDY.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THE CITY WORKED WITH THE APPLICANTS TO SEE IF MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE GONE UP ANOTHER STORY AND PROVIDED MORE PARKING SPACES, OR WAS THAT AN OPTION? I MEAN, WE TRIED TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE AS MUCH PARKING ON THE SITE AS WE DID.

WE EVEN ADDED TWO PARALLEL PARKING SPACES, GOT ADDED ALONG THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY TO GET THEM TO THE THIRTY SEVEN.

SO SO THE PROPERTY WAS VERY TIGHT AS IT IS DUE TO THE SHAPE OF IT AND THE SHAPE OF IT.

L SHAPE, YOU KNOW, AND YOU SAW THAT IN THE BACK UP THAT THAT WAS REALLY A LOT OF THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE VARIANCE IS THE SHAPE OF THE PROPERTY WHICH THEN LIMITS, YOU KNOW, THE BUILDING PLACEMENT AND THEN PARKING OBVIOUSLY, AND THEN CAN AFFECT THE LANDSCAPING.

ALL RIGHT. I SAW THAT. AND WHILE I READ YOUR REPORT AND JUSTIFY, YOU KNOW, THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 37 PARKING SPACES, I'VE BEEN TO THESE FACILITIES BEFORE, ESPECIALLY ON THOSE SPECIAL DAYS, CHRISTMAS, MOTHER'S DAY.

AND THE PARKING IS IT'S ALWAYS A HASSLE.

AND FOR 96 RESIDENTS WITH 37 PARKING SPACES JUST FOR VISITORS, I MEAN, NOT 37, 17 AFTER YOU, MINUS THE 24 STAFF.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THAT ALL THE BASES WERE COVERED.

AND YES, BASED ON THIS IS, YOU KNOW, WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU TRY TO NOT PROVIDE THAT PARKING FOR A COMPLETE PEAK TIMES BECAUSE THEN YOU'RE LEFT WITH A SEA OF PARKING AND EMPTY PARKING ALL THE TIME. SO YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH SPACE TO BEGIN.

I UNDERSTAND. SO YOU ACCOMMODATE PARKING FOR.

AND SO THAT'S THE PARKING IS.

SO THAT WAS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, CORRECT?

[01:25:02]

YEAH. YEAH BUT BUT THE NINETY SIX REQUIRED PARKING SPACES, WE THINK THAT THAT'S A LITTLE MUCH IN OUR CODE BECAUSE THAT'S ALMOST LIKE A RETAIL REQUIRES.

AND YOU KNOW THAT'S AND THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT USE.

OK. AND IS THAT CALCULATION DIRECTLY TIED TO THE BONUS SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BONUS ROOM.

NO. OK, SO THE BONUS ROOMS IS ONE PER ROOM.

OK, SO WE NEED TO ALLOCATE.

OK, THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WITH A QUESTION? FOR A CITY REPRESENTATIVE.

NO. OK, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AT THIS TIME, WE'D LIKE TO INVITE THE APPLICANT TO THE PODIUM.

THE ONE TO YOUR LEFT.

WELL, THAT. DUE TO A QUESTION.

GOOD MORNING, DENA GRAY, LAND USE COUNCIL FOR THE APPLICANT, AND I AM JOINED HERE WITH OUR ARCHITECT, ROSA, TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

YES, MY NAME IS ROSA RAMOS, BOTH WITH CABRERA RAMOS ARCHITECTS FROM DORAL, FLORIDA.

AND WE'RE THE ARCHITECTS OF THE PROJECT.

SO WE HAVE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION FOR YOU THIS MORNING.

ROB DID A VERY THOROUGH AND IMPRESSIVE JOB, SO I'LL TRY NOT TO REPEAT TOO MUCH OF WHAT HE SAID. GO TO THE FIRST SLIDE, WE HAVE A LOCATION MAP AND AS ROB MENTIONED, IT'S A VACANT PARCEL AND IT'S ON THE EAST SIDE OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF NW 76TH STREET.

SO MORE UP CLOSE, YOU COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT BETTER OF THE AERIAL HERE, AND THAT'S THE AT&T TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY THAT'S TUCKED INSIDE THE L.

HERE'S THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU SAW.

WE ARE PROPOSING A NEW TWO STORY, APPROXIMATELY FORTY THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT BUILDING WITH 96 BEDS IN THE 72 SLEEPING ROOMS. AND AS WE WERE DISCUSSING OR AS DISCUSSED, WE ARE REQUESTING THE ALLOCATION OF THE 72 BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS. IT IS A MEMORY CARE FACILITY.

SO THESE ARE RESIDENTS THAT ARE SPECIALIZED CARE, LIKE ALZHEIMER'S RESIDENTS THAT WOULD NOT BE UTILIZING A VEHICLE.

AND THE WAY THAT THE ARCHITECT HAS LAID OUT THE FACILITY IS IN WHAT THEY CALL CLUSTERS LIKE OF FOUR NEIGHBORHOODS, SO THEY HAVE GROUPINGS OF UNITS WITH TWENTY FOUR BEDS.

SO EACH AREA HAS ITS OWN SEATING AREA, THEIR TVS, COMPUTER STATION, THEIR OWN RECREATION AREA, KITCHEN AREA.

BUT THEY ALL ALSO HAVE A MAIN DINING ROOM.

AND THERE'S A SHARED LIVING SPACE AND RECREATION SPACE.

THERE IS A VEHICLE, FULL VEHICLE ACCESS, INGRESS AND EGRESS FROM NW 76TH STREET AND THEN EGRESS ONLY RIGHT TURN ONTO UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND THERE'S PEDESTRIAN ACCESS SIDEWALKS.

AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THERE IS A BUS STOP IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THREE HUNDRED FEET ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THERE'S THE ELEVATIONS, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS A CONTEMPORARY STYLE, VERY WARM, NEUTRAL COLORS, INVITING, VERY RESIDENTIAL FEEL.

IT HAS SAND FINISHED, STUCCO, WOOD AND STONE VENEER.

IT IS[INAUDIBLE] TO BE A RESIDENTIAL FEEL OF WITH AESTHETICALLY PLEASING QUALITY AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.

AND THE ARCHITECT IS HERE IF HAVE MORE QUESTIONS AS TO THE DETAILING.

OH, HERE'S OUR LANDSCAPE PLAN, WHICH IS COLOR CODED AS TO THE THE TREES AND SHRUBBERY, AS ROB HAD DESCRIBED, THERE ARE OUTSIDE TERRACES AND AND GARDENS ON THE GROUND FLOOR.

THERE IS WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING IS A VARIANCE ON THE NORTH SIDE AND ON THE EAST SIDE.

THE CODE REQUIRES A 25 FOOT BUFFER, 20 FOOT FOOT WIDE BUFFER WHEN A BUDDING RESIDENTIAL.

SO TO THE EAST ARE DUPLEXES AND TO THE NORTH ARE IS ANOTHER THERE'S ANOTHER

[01:30:09]

THAT'S CONDOMINIUMS. AND WE DID CONDUCT A EVEN THOUGH IT'S DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE DID CONDUCT A COMMUNITY MEETING. WE INVITED THE RESIDENTS, WE SENT OUT NOTICE AND WE HAD A COMMUNITY MEETING.

AND I BELIEVE IT WAS OCTOBER AND THERE WERE EIGHT RESIDENTS THAT THAT ATTENDED VIA ZOOM.

AND THERE WERE QUESTIONS WE EXPLAINED.

WE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE PRESENTATION AND EXPLAINING WHAT WE WERE REQUESTING.

THERE WERE WE EXPLAINED REGARDING THE BUFFER VARIANTS THAT WE WERE REQUESTING AND, YOU KNOW, LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL THERE.

THE LANDSCAPE IS ALL OF THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPING AND MORE DENSELY LANDSCAPED.

AND IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND ALSO OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS SUSTAINABILITY IN TERMS OF MAKING IT MORE DENSE SO THAT THERE'S ADEQUATE BUFFERING BETWEEN THE FACILITY AND THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

AND IN TERMS OF THE PARKING REDUCTION REQUESTED, AS ROB HAD EXPLAINED, THERE'S A TYPICAL DAILY SHIFT FROM 9:00 TO 5:00 OR ADMINISTRATIONS THERE, THE DOCTORS COME IN AND OUT AND KITCHEN STAFF AND FIRST SHIFT IS SEVEN TO THREE, WHICH IS 16 STAFF.

AND SECOND SHIFT FROM THREE TO 11 P.M.

IS 12 STAFF AND THIRD SHIFT FROM 11 P.M.

TO SEVEN A.M., WHICH IS FIVE STAFF.

AND IN THEIR OTHER FACILITY, THEY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 80 PERCENT OF THEIR STAFF THAT USE THEIR OWN VEHICLES. AND THIS FACILITY IS LOCATED VERY CLOSE BY TO THE BUS STOP, WHICH IS ONLY 300 FEET AWAY.

SO IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT THAT THE STAFF OR EMPLOYEES THAT DON'T USE THEIR CAR, THERE'S EITHER THEY'RE BEING DROPPED OFF OR THEY'RE UTILIZING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

SO BASED ON THE CALCULATIONS, THE MAXIMUM PARKING LOAD THAT'S ANTICIPATED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 19 TO 20 PARKING SPACES DURING THE PEAK STAFF TIME.

AND THERE IS A PARKING ANALYSIS THAT WAS SUBMITTED AND REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER, WHICH SUPPORTS THE PROPOSED PARKING.

AND AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A MEMORY CARE FACILITY.

SO THOSE RESIDENTS ARE ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS IN SPECIALIZED CARE, WHICH THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THEIR OWN VEHICLE.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF OF GUESTS, THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

USUALLY WITH ALZHEIMER'S RESIDENTS, YOU WILL HAVE GUESTS OR FAMILIES THAT WILL THAT WILL COME IN.

BUT IT'S DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF YOUR TYPICAL ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY PRIOR TO BEING A LAWYER, AS A THERAPEUTIC RECREATION DIRECTOR OF A LARGE SCALE SENIOR FACILITY.

SO IT HAD INDEPENDENT LIVING, ASSISTED LIVING, YOUR TYPICAL MIDDLE AND THEN SPECIALIZED ALZHEIMER'S CARE.

AND YOU GET YOU DO GET A LOT OF GUESTS AND AND FAMILY MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY WITH INDEPENDENT LIVING IN ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENTS, WHO YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF GUESTS.

THERE ARE VISITORS FROM MEMORY CARE, BUT IT'S NOT THE THE NUMBER OF GUESTS AREN'T THE SAME IN THE LENGTH OF TIME.

ISN'T TYPICALLY THIS THE SAME AS WHEN YOU VISIT AN INDEPENDENT RESIDENT OR A ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENT WHERE YOU WOULD SPEND MORE TIME AND CONVERSATION AND VISITATION? IT'S GENERALLY LONGER THAN WHEN YOU COME AND VISIT A FAMILY MEMBER THAT HAS ALZHEIMER'S OR AND THERE'S NO TIME LIMITATION.

AND WE CAN STAY FOR, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF VISITATION.

BUT YOU JUST DON'T SEE THE SAME LEVEL OF VISITORS, THAT THAT WOULD BE THERE.

I BELIEVE THAT WAS OUR LAST SLIDE AND I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS ROSA.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD?

[01:35:03]

I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE AGAIN, IT'S GEARED TOWARDS THE PARKING, BUT WHEN YOU SAY VISITORS DURING PEAK TIME, IF YOU HAVE 92 PEOPLE IN THE FACILITY, WOULD YOU SAY VISITORS ARE 10 PERCENT, 20 PERCENT? WELL, IT REALLY IT DOES DEPEND YOU USUALLY YOU HAVE.

YOU COULD HAVE A FEW VISITORS.

YOU COULD HAVE ONE PERSON.

I MEAN, IT REALLY IT DEPENDS ON THE TIMING.

IT'S GENERALLY YOU DON'T HAVE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THAT MANY VISITORS ALL AT ONE TIME.

AND ONLY TWO HANDICAPPED SPOTS IN THE WHOLE SCHEME OF THE PARKING LOT? YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'VE EVER HAD ANYBODY HANDICAPPED IN YOUR FAMILY OR BEEN IN A WHEELCHAIR, BUT WHEN TWO SPOTS, I GUARANTEE YOU, THE STAFF ARE PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE THE TWO SPOTS.

AND SO WHAT'S THE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SOMEBODY COMING TO VISIT IF THEY'RE IN JAIL OR THEY CAN'T WALK LONG DISTANCES? THERE IS A THERE IS A [INAUDIBLE] AREA WHERE INDIVIDUALS THAT DO NEED A WHEELCHAIR OR ASSISTANCE THAT CAN BE DROPPED OFF IN A COVERED AREA TO BE ABLE TO GO INSIDE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, I HAVE A COUPLE.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE OPERATOR.

IS THIS FOR PROFIT OR NONPROFIT? THIS IS A FOR PROFIT.

FOR PROFIT OPERATION? IS THERE A SIMILAR FACILITY RUN BY THE OPERATOR SOMEWHERE ELSE? YES. WHERE IS THAT? THEY DO IN PEMBROKE PINES OR.

COOPER CITY, I'M SORRY.

IS IT THE SAME SIZE, COMPARABLE, SAME TYPE OF FACILITY? BUT TO THINK ABOUT HALF THE SIZE, HALF THE SIZE.

OK, SO I'M SORRY, I DON'T HAVE THE [INAUDIBLE] WHERE I'M GOING WITH IT IS LET'S TRY TO COMPARE THE PROPOSED FACILITY WITH AN EXISTING ONE.

AND YOUR EXPERIENCE RUNNING THAT ONE COMPARED TO THIS ONE.

NOW, IF IT'S HALF THE SIZE, IS THIS GOING TO BE ESPECIALLY THE PARKING VARIANCE? IS IT GOING TO WORK? I MEAN, DID YOU NEED ANY VARIANCES FOR THE COOPER CITY ONE, FOR EXAMPLE? I MEAN, DID THAT MEET CODE IN ALL RESPECTS? IF WE CAN HAVE OUR CITY'S TRAFFIC CONSULTANT SPEAK ON THAT MATTER, IF YOU'D LIKE.

WELL, THAT'S FINE, BUT I'D LIKE TO GET IT FIRST FROM THE OPERATOR OF THE FACILITY TO FIND OUT. I'M NOT THE OPERATOR.

I'M THE ARCHITECT. THE OPERATOR IS NOT HERE TODAY.

OK. SHE'S HAVING SOME.

AND IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THAT PERSON IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION TO ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE THAT SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE ASKING FOR A LOT HERE.

AND I UNDERSTAND THE PARKING STANDARD IS NOT A PERFECT FIT FOR THE PROPOSED FACILITY.

IT'S PROBABLY, LIKE YOU SAID, FOR A RETAIL TYPE OF THING.

SO DOES THAT FACTOR INTO IT? BUT I WANTED TO ASK THE QUESTION TO GET A BETTER FEEL FOR HOW EXACTLY FROM DAY TO DAY YOU GOING TO BE OPERATED IN, YOU KNOW, UNDER THE PROPOSAL COMPARED TO WHAT'S REALLY I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF SHE HAD TO ASK FOR ANY VARIANCE WHERE SHE IS CURRENTLY, BUT I DO KNOW THAT ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT SHE GAVE US BASED ON HER EXPERIENCE WITH THAT FACILITY, DUPLICATED TIMES TWO STILL WILL WORK PERFECTLY FINE.

UNFORTUNATELY, I MEAN, BASED ON A NUMBER OF VISITORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THEY DON'T HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INFLUX DURING HOLIDAYS FOR VISITORS.

TYPICALLY, IT'S MORE ALONG THE LINES OF WHEN THERE'S A BIRTHDAY AND WE HAVE FACILITIES HERE THAT ARE TAILORED FOR THAT, BUT IT'S MORE SPORADIC.

SO THE ONE IN COOPER CITY IS THE SAME TYPE OF FACILITY, THOUGH.

MEMORY CARE. IT IS MEMORY CARE, YES, BUT IT'S NOT A FACILITY THAT SHE DESIGNED.

IT'S A FACILITY THAT SHE OCCUPIED THAT ALREADY HAD AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY PERMIT.

PRIOR TO THAT? OK, COULD WE GO BACK TO THE GRAPHICS SHOWING THE BREAKDOWN IN PARKING UNIT? YEAH, THIS ONE HERE. SO IF I'M LOOKING AT THIS CORRECTLY, THE FIRST SHIFT OBVIOUSLY SAYS THE MOST STAFF. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE DAILY SHIFT, THE ADMIN DOCTORS AND KITCHEN OF EIGHT. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MAX OF TWENTY FOUR IS THE CORRECT WAY TO LOOK AT THAT.

YES. IF YOU'RE ADDING IT THAT WAY.

HOWEVER, THEY HAVE IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT APPROXIMATELY 80 PERCENT OF THE STAFF WOULD UTILIZE A PARKING SPACE.

[01:40:01]

OK. TWENTY FOUR.

THIRTY SEVEN. TWENTY FOUR.

YEAH. JUST IF WHAT IF.

OK, SO THAT WOULD LEAVE 13 AVAILABLE FOR VISITORS AND THAT KIND OF THING.

THE STAFF AT THE FACILITY, WILL THERE BE NEW STAFF, THESE ARE BRAND NEW HIRES, ONCE IT'S BUILT, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO STAFF UP HIGHER, ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING FROM ANOTHER FACILITY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO I'LL BRING THEM IN.

ALSO, ONE OTHER THING TO NOTE IS THE DOCTORS THAT DOCTORS AREN'T THERE FOR THAT ENTIRE TIME. DOCTOR MIGHT BE THERE FOR AN HOUR AND LEAVE.

OK, THANKS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE WORD MS. WATSON? QUESTIONS ARE MORE ABOUT THE OPERATION THAT MAY ALLOW TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. IT DEPENDS HOW DO WE ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

MR. HERRON? GENERALLY IS AS A MATTER OF OF PRACTICALITY, THE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE CRITERIA IN THE CODE, AS YOU KNOW, WHETHER THEY'RE BEING MET OR NOT.

IF THERE IS IF THE QUESTION IS ABOUT THE OPERATION BEAR HAS BEARING ON THAT CRITERIA OR THE PRESENTATION THAT'S BEEN MADE, THEN YES, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO TO THE ISSUE BEFORE YOU SUCH AS THE PARKING, THE LANDSCAPING AND THE OTHER ISSUES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED. SO I WOULD BE HESITANT TO TELL ANY OF YOU ALL, DON'T ASK THE QUESTION UNTIL REALLY KIND OF WE'VE HEARD IT.

SO THAT WOULD BE GOOD ADVICE.

SO LET'S TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT PERTAINS TO THE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA TODAY.

AND IF IT DOES, FEEL FREE TO ASK A QUESTION.

OK, THANK YOU.

OH, THE MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY, LIKE THE OUTSIDE, THE TREES AND ALL THAT.

DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO HAVE A GARDENER TO MAINTAIN THAT FACILITY AND THE PERIMETER AND EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD CONDITION? YES. YES. IT WOULD BE ON SITE ALSO? ON SITE FOR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE?, I BELIEVE YOU'RE SAYING.

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.

OH, YES.

OK. AND ALTHOUGH THE THE OPERATOR COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY, I JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AND I JUST LEARNED THIS MORNING THAT SHE WAS HAVING MEDICAL ISSUES.

SHE HAS BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS AND HAS BEEN IN ATTENDANCE AT THE DRC MEETINGS AND ALSO AT THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

SO STAFF HAS BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY.

SHE HAS BEEN INVOLVED.

OK, AM I ALLOWED TO ASK ABOUT SECURITY OR THAT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THIS.

AGAIN. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE QUESTION HAS BEARING ON THE PARKING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, I GOING TO SAY YES, OK, SO SECURITY, WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR SECURITY? YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOCKED DOOR IS GOING TO BE SECURITY ALWAYS AROUND THE FACILITY? THE WAY THAT THE THAT THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED, IF IT HAS WAYFINDING IN A WAY THAT THE RESIDENTS WOULD NOT LEAVE THE BUILDING, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING AND THERE ARE ALARMS ARE ON DOORS THAT PREVENT.

LET I'LL LET THE ARCHITECT USE SINCE IT'S HER DESIGN, I THINK SHOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE.

I CAN EXPOUND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT.

AS DINA HAD MENTIONED EARLIER, THE DESIGN IS BASED ON NEIGHBORHOODS.

THERE'S TWO NEIGHBORHOODS ON THE GROUND FLOOR IN TWO NEIGHBORHOODS ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

OBVIOUSLY, THE SECOND FLOOR HAS HIGHER SECURITY, BUT TYPICALLY THE SECOND FLOOR RESIDENTS ARE THE LESS AMBULATORY RESIDENTS.

THEY ARE TAKEN TO THE SECOND FLOOR ONCE THEY ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO WALK ON THEIR OWN OR WALK WITH A WHEELCHAIR.

AND THEY NEED TOTAL ASSISTANCE ON THE GROUND FLOOR, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GO AND MEANDER THROUGH THE GARDENS IN THE BACK.

BUT WE HAVE A SIX FOOT HIGH SECURITY FENCE THAT HAS NO ACCESS TO THE EXTERIOR FROM THE INSIDE AT ALL.

AND IT ONLY HAS A [INAUDIBLE] BOX WITH ACCESS FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, ONLY FOR CASES OF EMERGENCY WHERE THEY HAVE TO GET PEOPLE OUT.

SO IT'S A LOOP SYSTEM.

THEY CAN WANDER OUT ONE DOOR AND THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY FOR THEM TO GET BACK IN.

EACH ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS HAS A DOUBLE DOOR WITH A CARD ACCESS THAT ONLY THE STAFF HAS. AND EVERY VISITOR THAT COMES IS ESCORTED SPECIFICALLY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT

[01:45:02]

AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S STAFF FOR EACH NEIGHBORHOOD THAT STAYS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THE IDEA HERE IS TO CREATE THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY INSIDE EACH NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE FAMILIARITY OF HAVING THE SAME CARETAKERS AND THE SAME NEIGHBORS SO THAT THEY FEEL MORE AT HOME IN IN A SMALLER SENSE, AS OPPOSED TO A BIG PART OF A LARGER FACILITY WHERE THEY GATHER IN A LARGE RECREATION ROOMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT'S NOT THE TYPE OF THING THAT WE'RE DESIGNING THIS FOR.

EVERYTHING HERE IS, YOU KNOW, MORE SELF-CONTAINED TO A MAXIMUM OF TWENTY FOUR PEOPLE IN EACH NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND, YOU KNOW, THAT HELPS TO MAINTAIN THE FAMILIARITY WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR THE DEMENTIA PATIENT. OK, I HAVE TWO MORE QUESTION.

THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN FOR RECREATION, WILL THEY BE COMING IN AND THEN THEY DO A PRESENTATION OR WHATEVER THEY DO WITH THE PEOPLE AND THEN LEAVE, OR WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR THAT? I'M SORRY FOR THE RECREATION? YEAH, LIKE THE ACTIVITY.

ACTIVITY, I SHOULD SAY, LIKE WHAT? ACTIVITIES IN THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE TYPICALLY DONE ON A DAILY BASIS ARE DONE WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THE DINING AREA DOUBLES AS AN ACTIVITY CENTER OR WHERE THEY DO CRAFTS.

WE HAVE RAISED PLANTERS IN THE TERRACES ON THE OUTSIDE FOR PLANTING TO DO SMALL GARDENING AND THOSE ARE THE DAILY ACTIVITIES.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY ALSO HAVE CONCERTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

BUT THOSE ARE SMALLER GROUPS THAT ARE TAKEN SPECIFICALLY TO A POINT WHERE THE CONCERT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO, YES, THE PERSON THAT WOULD COME IN TO PROVIDE THE ENTERTAINMENT, IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT, WOULD BE IN THERE JUST FOR THAT.

AND THEN THEY WOULD LEAVE. THEY WOULD NOT REMAIN.

OK, THANK YOU. I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THE PARK, BUT IT SOUNDS OK, BUT.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? MS. BELL? OK, WHAT'S THE RATIO OF YOUR PATIENT CARE PER PATIENT? WE HAVE A STAFF OF FOUR FOR EACH TWENTY FOUR, YOU KNOW, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

PER NEIGHBORHOOD? OK. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. OK, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, THE AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE ANSWER, THE FACILITY WILL HOUSE ALL AGES OR WHAT RATIO DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE OF SENIORS TO YOUNGER POPULATION? IT WILL HOUSE ALL AGES.

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, MORE INSTANCES NOW OF EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA.

AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S CHALLENGES THAT THAT PRESENTS WHEN YOU HAVE MORE ABLE BODIED PEOPLE THAT GET THROUGH THAT LEVEL OF CONFUSION.

SO, YES, THAT THE INTENT IS TO PROVIDE FOR ALL AGES.

DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT PERCENTAGE ARE IN ANY FORECASTING OF WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUNGER POPULATION TO OLDER? NO, IT'S STILL VERY SMALL.

OK, I WOULD SAY IT'S LIKE MAYBE LESS THAN FIVE PERCENT AT THIS POINT.

BUT OK.

AND. I LIKE YOUR DESIGN, BY THE WAY, I KIND OF LIKE IT, AND I DO I AGREE THAT THE PARKING IS A LITTLE BIT OF A CONCERN, BUT I LIKE THAT DESIGN.

THANK YOU. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION OR A COMMENT? MS. BELL? THE LAST LAST QUESTION, THE NEIGHBORHOODS, WILL THEY BE GROUPED BY LEVEL OF CARE IF THERE'S SUCH A THING IN ALZHEIMER'S? NOT REALLY. I MEAN, THIS IS MORE RESIDENTIAL.

THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL CARE FACILITY.

SO IT'S A PLACE WHERE YOU WHERE YOU GO TO LIVE.

BUT JUST FROM AN OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT AND A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT, YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN ANYONE THAT IS ABLE TO WALK IN THE AREA, THAT THEY HAVE THE ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE EXERCISE AND WALK ALL AROUND THE OUTSIDE.

ON THE SECOND FLOOR, WE HAVE SCREENED IN TERRACE'S SO THAT THE RESIDENTS OF THE SECOND FLOOR CAN ALSO EXPERIENCE THE OUTDOORS, BUT WITHOUT REALLY HAVING TO WALK THERE.

BUT YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S MORE OF A RESIDENTIAL PLACE THAN IT IS A MEDICAL CARE.

OK. THANK YOU.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE EXHAUSTED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT OR ASK A QUESTION? OK, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE EXHAUSTED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD AND

[01:50:04]

AGAIN, THIS MOTION IS REGARDING THE PETITION TO ALLOW THE ALLOCATION OF 72 BONUS SLEEPING ROOMS TO ALLOW FOR SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY IN THE CATEGORY THREE.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION FROM THE BOARD? AND WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR MOTION, IF YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, PLEASE SPECIFY THAT IF YOU WANTED TO HAVE CONDITIONS OR AS STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED, PLEASE.

MADAM CHAIR, I MOVE TO ACCEPT ITEM TWO WITH NO CONDITIONS.

OK, THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE WITH NO CONDITIONS FROM MR. NAGI. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

WAS THAT MISS BELL? THANK YOU.

DAVID MUNFORD? YES.

NIKOLE CLEARE? YES.

RICHARD HUGHES? YES. SEJEAN BELL? YES.

ERIC NAGI? YES. MOTION TO APPROVE PARKSIDE MEMORY CARE FLEX AND REDEVELOPMENT UNITS SLASH ACREAGE WITH CONDITIONS OUTLINED BY THE STAFF.

PASSED 5-0.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER THREE, AGAIN, CASE NUMBER 1-B-21, THIS WOULD BE TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE REQUESTING VARIANCE FROM SECTION 10-4.3, ALLOWING THE 37 PARKING SPACES FOR FORTY THREE THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IN LIEU OF THE MINIMUM NINETY TWO PARKING SPACES.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD? I NEED YOU TO SPECIFY IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE CONDITIONS OR IF YOU WANT TO APPROVE IT.

OUR STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED, PLEASE, AND IN THAT IT MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR THE GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE OR THE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL.

THE VARIANCE WILL TO REITERATE THAT AS WELL.

YES, OK.

AND THAT IT MEETS THE CRITERIA OF THAT LAST PART AGAIN, PLEASE, FOR THE FOR THE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE.

OK, BUT AT LEAST THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL FOR THE VARIANCE.

THAT'S POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

THIS VARIANCE IS TWO ITEMS IN IT.

YES.

INQUIRY, BUT FOR YARD WITH RANK THAT I THINK FOR THE RECORD, WE ARE SPLITTING IT INTO TWO JUST IN CASE, BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE THE OPTION TO TAKE THEM UP SEPARATELY, GRANT, WITH CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED OR DENIED, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY.

SO I THINK THAT THE WAY THAT IT'S BEFORE YOU RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS JUST THE PARKING, IS APPROPRIATE. OK, SO I'LL MENTION ITEM NUMBER TWO ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH THE VOTE, PHONE NUMBER ONE. YEAH, OK, YES, WHAT'S UNDER CONSIDERATION IS THE FIRST REQUEST VARIANCE UNDER ITEM NUMBER THREE.

OK, DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THAT?.

IT IS SORRY IS.

IS THE APPROVING RESOLUTION OR WHATEVER GOES WITH THIS, IS IT WRITTEN THAT WAY OR IS IT COMBINED? BECAUSE WHAT I REMEMBER IN THE BACK UP IS WHEN WE'RE RECOMMENDING FOR APPROVAL IS WRITTEN THAT'S WRITTEN TOGETHER, IT'S WRITTEN COMBINED.

BUT WE'LL CHANGE THE RESOLUTION IMMEDIATELY ADMINISTRATIVELY TO SEPARATE THE TWO FOR THE COMMISSION'S PURPOSES THROUGH.

WE CAN BIND THEM FOR FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMISSION.

BUT WE CAN SEPARATE WE CAN SEPARATE OUT THE DIFFERENT VOTES DEPENDING ON WHAT THE WHAT THE BODY DOES TODAY.

SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION.

YES. AND THE BOARD ORDER, THEY ARE CONTAINED IN ONE BOARD, HORNER LISTED SEPARATELY IN THAT ORDER SO WE CAN CREATE TWO SEPARATE BOARD ORDERS.

BUT AS IT IS NOW IS ONE BOARD ORDER WITH THE VARIANCES SEPARATED IN THE ONE BOARD ORDER.

I THINK BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH CONCERN ABOUT THE PARKING, IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE EASIER TO VOTE SEPARATELY IF THAT'S OK.

SO JUST SUPPORT ONE CLARIFICATION.

ITEM NUMBER THREE, IF YOU LOOK, THERE ARE PARENTHESIZED ONE AND PARENTHESIZED TWO.

SO WE'RE VOTING FIRST ON ITEM NUMBER ONE, THE 37 PARKING SPACES.

ONCE WE'RE DONE VOTING FOR THAT, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR ITEM NUMBER TWO UNDER

[01:55:04]

DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND? OK, AGAIN, I HAD A MOTION, BUT DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ITEM NUMBER THREE? POSITION NUMBER ONE. AND IF WE CAN GET A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD FROM THE BOARD, I'D APPRECIATE IT. MOTION TO APPROVE.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? OK, MISS WATSON HAS SECONDED.

MR. HUGHES HAS MADE THE MOTION.

SO THIS IS FOR THE PARKING SPACES? YES. DAVID MUNFORD? NO. NIKOLE CLEARE? NO. RICHARD HUGHES? YES. SEJEAN BELL? YES. VIOLA WATSON ? YES. MOTION TO APPROVE PARKSIDE MEMORY CARE VARIANCE FOR THE PARKING SPACES HAS 3-2 . OK, WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SECOND ITEM ON THE SECOND POINT, ON ITEM NUMBER THREE, AGAIN, IN CASE NUMBER 1-B-21.

MADAM CHAIR, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 3-2, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
