AMENDING THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY SIGN PROVISIONS TO APPROPRIATELY IDENTIFY STATE ROAD 869, ALSO KNOWN AS SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY, AND CLARIFY THE PERMITTED LOCATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF BILLBOARD SIGNS AND THEIR DISTANCE, SEPARATION FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, AND MODIFYING THE HEIGHT OF NUMERICAL BUILDING ADDRESSES ON MONUMENT SIGNS TO ENHANCE VISIBILITY AND COMPLY WITH FIRE CODE SAFETY STANDARDS.

PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WE'LL FIRST HEAR FROM THE STAFF.

THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, FOR THE RECORD, ANNE JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

THE ITEM BEING BROUGHT BEFORE YOU TODAY IS A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, PARTICULARLY ARTICLE FOUR.

ARTICLE FOUR CONTAINS REGULATIONS THAT BASICALLY PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR THE PHYSICAL LAYOUT AND THE DESIGN OF ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY.

THESE PROVISIONS ADDRESS ANYTHING THAT IS RELATIVE TO INFRASTRUCTURE AS LISTED IN THE TITLE OF THE ORDINANCE.

ROADWAYS, PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAYS AND ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS TEXT AMENDMENT IS TO UPDATE THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS SO THAT THEY ALIGN WITH THE CITY'S ENGINEERING DESIGN MANUAL, IN ADDITION TO FIRE CODE SAFETY STANDARDS.

THESE PROVISIONS WILL ADDRESS SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS LISTED ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU.

I WON'T READ THEM ALL, BUT JUST IN GENERAL ROADS, SIDEWALKS, BICYCLE PATHS, STORM WATERS, AND THE BILLBOARD SIGNS.

WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO SOME CLARIFICATION OF SOME LANGUAGE LATER ON INTO THE PRESENTATION.

SECTION TEN 4.2.

THIS SECTION DEALS WITH TRANSPORTATION AND CONNECTIVITY.

AS YOU SEE, IF YOU LOOK DOWN IN BOLD AT THE RESIDENTIAL STREET SECTION, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS JUST OUTLINING SOME STANDARDS IN WHICH TRAFFIC LIMITING DEVICES THEY MUST BE APPROVED BY THE CITY IN THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL DEVICES SHALL BE ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE CITY'S TRAFFIC CALMING POLICY.

SO AS WE GO THROUGH THESE PRESENTATIONS, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, A NUMBER OF THESE ITEMS ARE BASICALLY TO ALIGN SOME OF THE DESIGN OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE WITH SOME OF THE POLICIES AND SOME OF THE STANDARDS THAT THE CITY ALREADY HAS IN PLACE.

IN ADDITION, FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, THE TEXT THAT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN RED AND UNDERLINED, THAT IS PERTAINING TO THE MINIMUM DIAMETER FOR CUL DE SACS.

SO CUL DE SACS REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF DIAMETER IS TO PERMIT TURNAROUND FOR FIRE TRUCK APPARATUSES.

IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND THE FIRE SAFETY STANDARDS, THEY ALSO REQUIRE THESE MINIMUM DIAMETERS AS WELL.

SO THE CODE IS BEING AMENDED TO ALIGN WITH THOSE STANDARDS.

FOR MIXED USE AND RESIDENTIAL.

THIS SECTION IS BEING AMENDED.

IT DEALS WITH GUARD HOUSES AND AGAIN THIS IS FOR FIRE SAFETY CODE ACCESS.

THIS IS SO THAT WHEN THE EMERGENCY PERSONNEL HAS TO RESPOND TO A CALL IN THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE THESE GUARDHOUSES, THESE ARE JUST STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO ACCESS THESE PROPERTIES.

[00:10:01]

SO THE MANUAL SECURITY DEVICES SHALL HAVE LOCKS AND THEY SHALL BE APPROVED BY TAMARAC FIRE RESCUE.

AND IF THEY ARE AUTOMATIC GATES, THEN THERE HAS TO BE AN OVERRIDE SO THAT THE FIRE APPARATUS CAN GAIN ACCESS TO THE DEVELOPMENT.

IN RELATION TO PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION, THE DESIGN OF SIDEWALKS.

SO AGAIN, JUST ENSURING THAT THE SIDEWALKS ARE CONSTRUCTED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING STANDARDS OF THE CITY AS WELL.

THIS SECTION HAS TO DO WITH THE DESIGN OF OFF STREET PARKING AND LOADING INFRASTRUCTURE, PARTICULARLY THE WIDTH OF THE AISLES FOR THE PARKING LOT DESIGN.

AND SO IF YOU GO AGAIN TO THE TEXT THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN RED, WHERE WE TYPICALLY USE NINE FEET FOR OUR PARKING STALLS INSTEAD OF TEN. SO AGAIN WE'RE JUST ALIGNING THIS WITH OUR TYPICAL DESIGN STANDARDS.

AND THEN THE AISLE WIDTHS DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE PARKING, IS ALSO BEING AMENDED TO ALIGN WITH OUR EXISTING DESIGN STANDARDS AS WELL.

IN REGARDS TO THE LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION PORTION OF THIS CODE.

IF YOU AGAIN GO DOWN TO THE TEXT THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN RED, IT HAS TO DEAL SPECIFICALLY WITH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS AND WHAT THE CITY REQUIRES FOR IRRIGATION. SO ALL NEW DEVELOPMENTS SHALL USE NON-POTABLE WATER FOR IRRIGATION SOURCES, UNLESS A WAIVER IS RECEIVED FROM THE CITY ENGINEER.

SECTION 10- 4.5 DEALS WITH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL.

IF YOU GO DOWN AGAIN TO SECTION C, THAT'S FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT, AND THE CITY ENGINEER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE A DEVELOPER TO SUBMIT ANY DOCUMENTS OR MATERIAL NECESSARY TO AID IN THE EVALUATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SOME WORK WAS DONE HERE IN THE DRAINAGE SECTION.

AGAIN, THE CITY IS JUST TAKING A STANCE TO BE ABLE TO ALIGN THESE DESIGN STANDARDS WITH OUR ENGINEERING DESIGN MANUAL THAT IS ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE CITY'S PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

SO THIS LANGUAGE IS BASICALLY BEING STRUCK TO ALIGN WITH THOSE DESIGN STANDARDS AND INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES.

AND THEN THE SECTIONS WERE JUST RENUMBERED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NUMERATION AND THE CODE WAS CONSISTENT.

IN REGARDS TO POTABLE WATER.

SECTION G.

OF THIS SECTION, THE DESIGN OF POTABLE WATER SYSTEMS AGAIN SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

ENGINEERING AND DESIGN AND PROCESSING MANUAL AND APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER AS WELL.

THE SAME FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS, JUST ENSURING THAT THESE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN MANUAL AND APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER.

SECTION TEN DASH 4.10 NOW THAT WE'RE OUT OF A LITTLE BIT OF INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO SECTION TEN DASH 4.10 DEALS WITH THE CITY SIGN CODE ORDINANCES.

THIS PARTICULAR SECTION IS REALLY JUST BEING AMENDED FOR CLARIFICATION.

AT THE TIME THAT THE TEXT AMENDMENT WAS APPROVED, WE DID NOTE THAT THE PORTION OF I-75 THAT IS WITHIN THE MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC IS ACTUALLY KNOWN AS THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

SO THIS IS JUST CLARIFYING THAT THIS IS IDENTIFIED AS THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

AND THIS IS WHERE IF THE CITY SO CHOOSES TO APPROVE A BILLBOARD SIGN IN THE FUTURE, THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THE PORTIONS OF RIGHT OF WAY WHERE IT WOULD BE PERMITTED.

IN REGARDS TO ALSO WHERE THEY ARE PERMITTED TO BE LOCATED, WE'RE JUST CLARIFYING THE AMOUNT OF DISTANCE THAT HAS TO BE BETWEEN THE SIGNS.

SO BILLBOARD STRUCTURES LOCATED MORE THAN 1500FT AWAY FROM READILY FROM RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY MAY HAVE UP TO, BUT NOT MORE THAN TWO SIGN FACES.

SO THE CODE PREVIOUSLY DID NOT CLARIFY THE DISTANCE IF YOU HAD 1500 OR 1501.

SO WE'RE JUST CLARIFYING IT HAS TO BE MORE THAN 1500 FEET.

THIS SECTION DEALS WITH THE DESIGN CRITERIA OF MONUMENT SIGNS.

THE CODE SEPARATES THE PERMISSIBLE GRAPHIC HEIGHT AND SIGN HEIGHT FOR THESE SIGNS, BASED ON IF THE SHOPPING CENTER IS LESS THAN 64,999FT², OR IF THE SHOPPING CENTER CONTAINS MORE THAN 65,000FT².

[00:15:08]

SO THIS WAS A SCRIVENER'S AREA.

THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CORRECTING, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE IS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THOSE SHOPPING CENTERS THAT CONTAINS THOSE SQUARE FOOTAGES.

SECTION 10- 4.11 HAS TWO I'M SORRY DEALS WITH THE SUBDIVISION DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

IT DEALS WITH THE MINIMUM WIDTHS OF RIGHT OF WAY.

SO AGAIN STREETS THE PERMITTED WIDTH THE REQUIRED WIDTH, THE MAXIMUM WIDTH.

THIS IS WHAT THIS TABLE ALIGNS WITH.

THIS TABLE ALIGNS WITH THE CITY'S ENGINEERING AND DESIGN MANUAL AS WELL.

SO THAT TEXT HIGHLIGHTED IN RED IS JUST PROVIDING FURTHER CLARIFICATION FOR HOW WIDE THE PAVEMENT ACTUALLY HAS TO BE BASED ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE ROAD TYPE.

AND SECTION 12, ALSO DEALING WITH ALLEYS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THAT SAME ENGINEERING AND DESIGN MANUAL.

IT'S JUST CLARIFYING THAT THE WIDTH OF THE ALLEYS SHALL BE AT LEAST 24FT.

THIS IS TYPICAL IN THE CITY.

MOST THOROUGHFARES IN THE CITY ARE A MINIMUM OF 12FT ON EACH SIDE, SO YOU HAVE TRAFFIC THAT IS HEADING IN ONE DIRECTION, AND YOU MAY HAVE TRAFFIC THAT IS HEADING AGAINST IT IN ANOTHER DIRECTION.

SO IT'S JUST A REQUIREMENT THAT BOTH SIDES OF THOSE STREETS ARE AT LEAST 12FT IN WIDTH.

SO THE TOTAL WOULD BE 24FT.

SO IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD, THERE ARE CRITERIA AS IT RELATES TO THE APPROVAL OF THE TEXT AMENDMENT.

THE CRITERIA IS LISTED ON THIS SCREEN BEFORE YOU, AND THE DETAIL REGARDING HOW THIS AMENDMENT ALIGN ALIGNS WITH THOSE CRITERIA IS DETAILED IN THE STAFF REPORT.

THIS AMENDMENT ALSO IS IN I'M SORRY IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IN ADDITION TO GOAL NUMBER TWO, KEEPING TAMARAC SAFE, ENSURING THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND DESIGN STANDARDS ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

ALSO, GOAL NUMBER THREE, WHERE TAMARAC IS ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT.

AGAIN, JUST MAKING SURE THAT OUR CODE PROVIDES CLARITY, MAKING SURE THAT IT IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES.

IN ADDITION TO ENSURING FIRE SAFETY AS WELL.

AS SUCH, THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION TO ADOPT THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER TEN, ARTICLE FOUR OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC CODE OF ORDINANCES ON FIRST READING AT ITS DECEMBER 13TH, 2023 MEETING, AND ON SECOND READING AT ITS JANUARY 10TH, 2024 MEETING.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

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

THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. DO WE, WE'RE NOW GOING TO OPEN THE FLOOR TO THE PUBLIC.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THE PRESENTATION? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? NICE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PRESENTED? YES. PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

OKAY. I THINK WE DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

ALL RIGHT. I'D LIKE TO ASK FOR A MOTION TO MOVE THE ITEM TO THE CITY COMMISSIONS MEETING.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION? YES. PRESS.

PRESS THE BUTTON. YES, I MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT.

WE HAVE A SECOND. I SECOND THAT NIKOLE CLEARE.

YES. JACQUES MOISE.

YES. VIOLA WATSON.

YES. MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION PASSED 3 TO 0.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[9.a TBO82 - Board Order approving/denying a Variance application requesting relief from Section 10-4.10(E)(1) "Directional, Directory, Monument and Entrance Wall Signs" of the City's Code of Ordinances for HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital located at 7201 North University Drive, Tamarac, Florida 33321.]

THE NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 9A, TEMPORARY BOARD ORDER 82, BOARD ORDER APPROVING AND OR DENYING A VARIANCE APPLICATION REQUESTING RELIEF FROM SECTION 10-4.10, SUBSECTION E, SUBSECTION ONE DIRECTIONAL DIRECTORY, MONUMENT AND ENTRANCE WALL SIGNS OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCE FOR THE HCA FLORIDA WOODMONT HOSPITAL, LOCATED AT 7201 NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE, TAMARAC, FLORIDA,

[00:20:01]

33321. GOOD MORNING.

WE'LL NOW HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT.

GOOD MORNING. AND THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS COREY MEAD.

I'M THE CEO AT HCA FLORIDA WOODMONT, AND I'M HERE WITH MY COLLEAGUE PETER GRETKY.

HE'S OUR COO AT HCA FLORIDA WOODMONT.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS MORNING AND LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING A GOOD CONVERSATION.

SO WE'RE COMING BEFORE THE BOARD TODAY TO ASK FOR IS FOR THREE VARIANCES SPECIFICALLY FOR A MONUMENT SIGN OUT FRONT ON THE WEST SIDE OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE, JUST NORTH OF MCNAB, WHERE THE HOSPITAL IS LOCATED.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO MONUMENT SIGN IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL.

AND ON THE NEXT SLIDE WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT A LOOK WHAT THE VIEW LOOKS LIKE FOR VISITORS, FOR PATIENTS, AND FOR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AS THEY TURN INTO THE HOSPITAL, AND WHY THAT IS A CONCERN ON OUR BEHALF AND WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THESE VARIANCES.

HERE. YOU CAN SEE THAT LOOK THAT I JUST DESCRIBED.

SO THIS IS IF YOU'RE AT THE STOPLIGHT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL LOOKING WEST INTO THE CAMPUS.

WE DO HAVE SOME PALM TREES IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE IS NO MONUMENT SIGNAGE.

AND AS A PART OF THIS PACKAGE THAT'S NOT COMING BEFORE THIS BOARD IS A DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE AS WELL TO FOR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ROUTING AS WELL AS MAIN ENTRANCE DIRECTIONS IN ORDER TO GET INTO OUR CAMPUS WHERE WE ARE PROPOSING TO PUT THIS MONUMENT SIGN IS SORRY I CAN'T POINT ON YOUR SCREENS, I DON'T THINK, BUT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THOSE BERMS AND BUSHES RIGHT BEHIND THE SIDEWALK THERE.

THIS IS STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE LOOKING INTO THE CAMPUS.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE'VE WORKED WITH ARCHITECTS AND OUR SIGN COMPANY IN ORDER TO DRAW UP A BEAUTIFUL RENDERING OF WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE AND THE BENEFITS FOR SITTING AT THAT STOPLIGHT, TURNING INTO OUR CAMPUS, ACTUALLY KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE TURNING INTO, AS WELL AS WHAT THE SIGN WOULD ENTAIL, AND THE VERBIAGE FOR HCA FLORIDA WOODMONT HOSPITAL. AS A MINOR ANECDOTE, WE ACTUALLY JUST HIRED ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER ONTO OUR SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM.

AND AS HE WAS COMING ON TO OUR CAMPUS TO INTERVIEW, HE ACTUALLY DROVE PAST OUR HOSPITAL AND OUR LOCATION AS HE DID NOT KNOW AND WERE HIS GOOGLE WAS TELLING HIM.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS USER ERROR OR IF WE COULD HELP THAT WITH SOME MONUMENT SIGNAGE AS WELL TO MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.

THIS IS THE SIGN RENDERING AT NIGHT.

WE TRIED TO BE VERY COGNIZANT, BUT THOUGHTFUL AROUND THE LIGHT POLLUTION AND OUR NEIGHBORING CONSTITUENTS IN THE AREA TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WASN'T TOO POWERFUL, BUT YOU WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT, OBVIOUSLY, FROM THE ROAD AS YOU'RE DRIVING BY AS WELL, TOO.

SO IT WOULDN'T BE A HINDRANCE AS TO YOUR DRIVING BY OR A DISTRACTION, DRIVING NORTHBOUND OR SOUTHBOUND ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF OUR CAMPUS.

YOU CAN SEE UNIVERSITY DRIVE THERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

AND THEN WHERE OUR HOSPITAL PROPER IS LOCATED AND THE STAR IS THE LOCATION JUST TO GET YOUR EYE THERE.

AND THEN WHERE THAT YELLOW RECTANGLE IS AT IS WHERE THE SIGN WOULD ACTUALLY BE.

SO IT WOULD BE RECESSED OFF OF THE STREET THERE A DECENT WAYS, AS MUCH AS WE COULD, TO ABIDE WITH UTILITIES BURIED AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE GROUND TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T RIGHT ON TOP OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

SO THE FIRST VARIANCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW IS THE APPROXIMATE DISTANCE AND LOCATION FROM ANOTHER MONUMENT SIGN THAT IS ON OUR CAMPUS.

A LITTLE BACKSTORY HERE.

THIS IS A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING WHERE PHYSICIANS HAVE THEIR CLINICS AND SEE PATIENTS ON OUR CAMPUS.

WE ACTUALLY DO NOT OWN THAT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING THAT IS OWNED BY A THIRD PARTY REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST.

AND THEY DO HAVE A MONUMENT SIGN THERE VERY CLOSE TO UNIVERSITY DRIVE, WHERE THAT BRONZE GOLD STAR IS LOCATED, AND THAT READS UNIVERSITY MEDICAL PLAZA, WHICH IS THE NAME OF THAT MEDICAL PLAZA.

WE ARE REQUESTING, OBVIOUSLY, TO PUT OUR MONUMENT SIGN SOUTHWEST OF THAT SIGN.

AND THE VARIANCE WOULD BE IT IS 102FT INSTEAD OF 150FT FROM THAT LOCATION.

THE NEXT VARIANCE IS IN RELATION TO THE TEXT, SIZE AND FONT OF THE TEXT THAT IS ON THE ACTUAL SIGN.

THE VARIANCE IN CODE AS IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN IS IS RECOMMENDING AND REGULATING THAT EACH LETTER AND WORD IS 18IN IN HEIGHT ON OUR SIGN.

DUE TO THE WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE IMPORTANCE IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY DESCRIBE AND TELL THE PUBLIC WHERE OUR HOSPITAL IS LOCATED AT, THERE IS TEXT THAT IS 40, JUST UNDER 50IN, JUST UNDER 36IN, AND RIGHT AT 27IN, AS WELL AS YOU COULD HAVE SEEN ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDES.

[00:25:02]

SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS AN ASK OF THIS BOARD IS THAT WE WOULD BE APPROVED IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR SIGN.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE AGAIN, DURING THE DAYTIME AND THE NIGHTTIME, WE ARE CONTINUING TO INVEST A LOT IN OUR CAMPUS IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWTH WITHIN THE TAMARAC COMMUNITY. WE HAVE $10 MILLION OF CAPITAL IN ROUTE.

PART OF THAT IS A RENOVATION OF OUR 15 BED ICU UNIT.

WE'RE CURRENTLY RENOVATING OUR CAFETERIA FOR OUR PATIENTS, OUR VISITORS, AND OUR EMPLOYEES AS WELL TOO.

AND WE THIS IS ALSO PART OF THAT $10 MILLION RENOVATION THAT WE HOPE TO GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO MAKE ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR CAMPUS AND TO OUR HOSPITAL, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE GREAT CARE TO OUR OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU.

BEFORE WE ASK YOU QUESTIONS, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE STAFF MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHAT QUESTIONS WE HAVE AFTER THAT.

IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU? OF COURSE.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. IF YOU CAN HANG TIGHT.

SURE. WE'LL HEAR FROM THE STAFF.

GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PLANNING BOARD AUDIENCE.

I'M CHRISTIAN T, WATERFALL, ASSOCIATE PLANNER, CITY OF TAMARAC COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS THE ACA FLORIDA WOODMONT HOSPITAL CASE NUMBER 11 B 23 FOR A VARIANCE.

I'M SORRY.

SO THE HOSPITAL IS LOCATED AT 7201 NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE, TAMARAC, FLORIDA.

33319. THE REQUEST IS FOR A VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR THE RELIEF OF TWO CODE SECTIONS OF SECTION 10-4.10 OF THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR ONE PROPOSED MONUMENT SIGN.

THE EXISTING USE AS A HOSPITAL, WHICH IS A HEALTH CARE FACILITY.

THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS COMMUNITY FACILITIES.

THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION IS P F PUBLIC FACILITIES AND THE COMMISSION DISTRICT IS DISTRICT NUMBER FOUR, COMMISSIONED BY DANIEL.

ONCE AGAIN. THE SITE LOCATION IS 7201 NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THE PROPERTY AREA OF THE ENTIRE CAMPUS IS 6.68 OR EXCUSE ME, 6.88 ACRES.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, COMMONLY KNOWN AS WOODMONT HOSPITAL CAMPUS, WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED IN 1986 AND DESIGNED AS A HOSPITAL, MEDICAL FACILITIES AND OUTPATIENT FACILITIES TO CATER TO THE NEEDS OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC AND ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

SHOWN BEFORE YOU THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH IS MEDICAL, WHICH IS TAMARAC MEDICAL OFFICES.

TO THE NORTH IS ALSO MEDICAL, WHICH IS UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY MEDICAL PLAZA.

TO THE EAST IS COMMERCIAL, WHICH IS JEWELRY EXCHANGE PLAZA ACROSS UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND TO THE WEST IS A CONTINUATION OF WOODMONT HOSPITAL CAMPUS.

AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE POINTS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS COMING FROM NORTHWEST 80TH AVENUE AND ALSO UNIVERSITY DRIVE, BUT THE TWO MAIN POINTS OF EGRESS AND INGRESS ARE NOTABLY NORTHWEST 72ND STREET AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE, AND ALSO NORTHWEST 71ST COURT JUST SOUTH.

THIS IS A PHOTO OF WOODMONT HOSPITAL.

THE CODE SECTIONS.

SO SECTION TEN DASH 4.10, SUBSECTION E1A TABLE TEN DASH 4.11.

THE MONUMENT AND ENTRANCE SIGNS STANDARDS.

LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR A MONUMENT SIGN IN A NON RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT WITH A BUILDING WITH A GROSS FLOOR AREA GREATER THAN 65,000FT², TO ALLOW FOR A MONUMENT SIGN TO HAVE A MINIMUM LETTER AND GRAPHIC HEIGHT OF 49IN IN LIEU OF THE CODE.

REQUIRE MAXIMUM LETTERING GRAPHIC HEIGHT OF 18IN, AND TO ALLOW A MAXIMUM SIGN AREA OF 432FT² IN LIEU OF THE CODE.

REQUIRE MAXIMUM SIGN AREA OF 72FT².

SHOWN BEFORE YOU IS A VISUAL OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW.

DEMONSTRATES THE SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR NON RESIDENTIAL GROSS FLOOR AREAS OF GREATER THAN 65,000FT².

THE MAXIMUM LETTER AND GRAPHIC HEIGHT IN INCHES, AS REQUIRED BY CODE IS 18IN, AND THE MAXIMUM SIGN AREA IN SQUARE FEET IS 72FT. SO SHOWING BEFORE YOU IS THE PROPOSED MONUMENT SIGN IDENTIFYING THE DIMENSIONS.

[00:30:09]

SO THE ACTUAL HEIGHT OF THE SIGN IS 778FT WIDE, WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT TO 64FT AND TEN INCHES.

AND THE HEIGHT OF THE SIGN IS 80IN, WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT OF SIX FEET EIGHT INCHES.

IN TOTAL, THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SIGN IS 432FT².

IF YOU NOTICE THE CIRCLES AROUND THE AREAS, THOSE ARE THE MAIN DIMENSIONS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR RELIEFS, WHICH WOULD BE THE 49.5, WHICH IS THE LOGO, AND THE HCA, THE F AND L AND A EXCUSE ME, FLD IN FLORIDA THAT THOSE ARE PROPOSED 49.5IN.

AND IF YOU SEE THE CIRCLE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THAT'S THE 36IN WHICH ARE SHOWING THE REST OF THE LETTERING, THE W IN WOODMONT, THE H IN HOSPITAL, THE L IN HOSPITAL. AND THE SECOND RELIEF THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THE APPLICANT IS SECTION 10-4.10, SUBSECTION E1B3 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR ONE MONUMENT SIGN TO BE LOCATED 102FT FROM AN EXISTING MONUMENT SIGN IN LIEU OF THE CODE REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTANCE OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE SIGNS OF 150FT, AS MEASURED DIRECTLY FROM SIGN TO SIGN, ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STREET FOR NON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

IN THE PHOTO BELOW, IT'S ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE CODE SECTION WHERE IT READS MONUMENT SIGN SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM DISTANCE SEPARATION OF 150FT AS MEASURED DIRECTLY FROM SIGN TO SIGN, ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STREET FOR NON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

SHOWN BEFORE YOU IS THE EXISTING SIGN AT UNIVERSAL MEDICAL PLAZA, WHICH IS JUST NORTH OF WHERE THE PROPOSED SIGN IS, WHICH I'LL SHOW IN FUTURE SLIDES.

THIS SIGN IS LOCATED AT 7301 NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THIS IS A VISUAL OF THE PROPERTY SURVEY, WHERE THEY ARE IDENTIFYING THE 102FT SEPARATION FROM THE EXISTING SIGN TO THE PROPOSED SIGN.

ALSO, JUST TO NOTE THAT THE PROPERTY.

THE HOSPITAL IS APPROXIMATELY 400FT AWAY FROM UNIVERSITY DRIVE, WHICH CAUSES VISIBILITY ISSUES.

AS THE APPLICANT STATED, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE FROM MAIN ROAD.

THIS IS JUST A SECOND VISUAL IDENTIFYING THE SAME 102 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE DISTANCE, SEPARATION FROM THE EXISTING TO THE PROPOSED SIGN.

THIS IS A VIEW ACROSS THE STREET IDENTIFYING ONCE AGAIN 102FT SEPARATION FROM THE EXISTING SIGN TO THE MONUMENT SIGN.

THE PROPOSED MONUMENT SIGN.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW FROM THE EXISTING MONUMENT SIGN.

THIS IS THE DEBUT OF THE AMOEBA SIGN.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S VERY VISIBLE.

IT DOES HAVE ITS REQUIRED TO HAVE LANDSCAPING AT THE BASE OF THE SIGN.

APPROXIMATELY 1 OR 2FT OF LANDSCAPING.

AND THEY ALSO HAVE SHRUBBERY WHICH WOULDN'T HINDER ANY DRIVERS OR MAKE ANY DISTRACTIONS.

AND ALSO THIS IS A NIGHT VIEW OF THE SIGN.

A SECTION TEN DASH 5.4 Q VARIANCE.

THE PURPOSE OF A VARIANCE IS TO ALLOW CERTAIN DEVIATIONS FROM STANDARDS OF LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

WHEN THE LAND OWNER DEMONSTRATES THAT, OWING THE TO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS BEYOND THE LAND OWNER'S CONTROL, THE LITERAL APPLICATION OF THE STANDARDS WILL RESULT IN UNDUE AND UNIQUE HARDSHIP TO THE LAND OWNER, AND THE DEVIATION WOULD NOT BE CONTRARY TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

SHOWN BEFORE YOU ARE THE EIGHT VARIANTS.

GENERAL REVIEW STANDARDS THAT ARE REQUIRED.

I WON'T GO THROUGH THEM AS IT WOULD TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT THE APPLICANT IDENTIFIES EACH SECTION IN THEIR JUSTIFICATION LETTER, AND STAFF HAS ALSO PROVIDED IT IN THE APPLICANT IN THE STAFF MEMORANDUM.

AND IT IS THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT THAT THE GENERAL REVIEW STANDARDS FOR THE VARIANCES HAVE BEEN MET.

THIS IDENTIFIES GOAL NUMBER THREE OF THE CITY OF TAMARACS 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN.

THIS ITEM SUPPORTS GOAL NUMBER THREE OF THE CITY'S 24 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH READS TAMARAC IS ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT.

THE APPROVAL OF THE TWO VARIANCE REQUESTS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE WOODMONT HOSPITAL CAMPUS BY PROVIDING AN ESTHETICALLY PLEASING SIGN TO ACCOMMODATE BETTER VISIBILITY, ALLOWING THE HOSPITAL AND ITS SURROUNDING MEDICAL OFFICES A PLACE TO THRIVE IN THE CITY.

THIS FURTHERS THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES.

[00:35:05]

SHOWN BEFORE YOU IS THE 2019 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR THE VARIANCE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING POLICY OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

STRATEGIC MID-TERM IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS.

POLICY 2.2 TO PROMOTE THE EXPANSION OF THE HOSPITAL CAMPUS AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ANCHOR, AND THIS IS ALSO IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE STAFF MEMORANDUM.

THE VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE TWO PROPOSED VARIANCE REQUESTS FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 10-4.10 SIGNS OF THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS DECEMBER 13TH, 2023, MEETING.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

BEFORE WE HEAR FROM THE BOARD, I'M GOING TO ASK IF WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS.

THE FLOOR IS OPEN AND NOW CLOSED.

NOW WE ASK. WE'LL HAVE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

YES. ON THE FIRST PROPOSAL, I NEED TO.

YOU JUST GIVE IT TO ME IN TWO WORDS.

BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO FOLLOW EVERYTHING.

I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCATION BECAUSE I'VE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND EVERYTHING AND SIGN.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S AN ISSUE, SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE FIRST PORTION.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE ISSUE? ARE YOU REFERRING TO GRAPHIC HEIGHT OR THE SEPARATION DISTANCE? NO, THE SEPARATION OF THIS.

I'M CLEAR ON THAT. OKAY. SO.

YES. SO PER OUR CODE SECTION TEN DASH 4.1 TEN DASH 4.10.

THE TABLE FOR MONUMENT SIGNS AND ENTRANCE SIGNS.

STANDARDS FOR NON RESIDENTIAL WHICH IS THE HOSPITAL.

THEY'RE CLASSIFIED AS NON RESIDENTIAL.

THE GROSS FLOOR AREA THAT'S GREATER THAN 65,000FT² WHICH THE HOSPITAL IS APPROXIMATELY 6.88 ACRES IN SIZE.

SO THEY'RE STILL REQUIRED A MAXIMUM LETTER AND GRAPHIC HEIGHT OF 18IN.

SO I'M SORRY I JUST INTERRUPT WITH THAT.

I WANT TO GET TO EXACTLY WHAT MY MIND IS PROCESSING HERE.

THE SIGN THAT IS PROPOSED FOR THEM TO PUT.

HOW MUCH LARGER IS IT GOING TO BE THAN WHAT WE ARE REQUIRED UNDER THE PRESENT? AS FAR AS GRAPHIC HEIGHT, WE'RE ONLY GOING TO POINT OUT THE MAXIMUM RELIEF THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, WHICH IS 49.5.

SO 49.5 -18 WOULD BE 31.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE SMALLER THAN WHAT'S NORMAL OR IT'S GOING TO BE LARGER.

IT'S GOING TO BE LARGER LARGER MUCH LARGER BY 31IN.

JUST THE LOGO NOT THE ACTUAL SIGN ITSELF.

OKAY. THE SIGN HEIGHT MEETS THE REQUIREMENT AS IT'S 80IN, WHICH IS ONE SECOND.

OKAY. YES, THE PROPOSED SIGN HEIGHT ITSELF, INCLUDING THE BASE, IS SIX FEET EIGHT INCHES, WHEREAS OUR CODE REQUIRES A MAXIMUM SIGN HEIGHT OF EIGHT FEET.

SO THEY MEET THAT CRITERIA.

OKAY. BUT THE SECOND PART OF IT WOULD BE THE MAXIMUM SIGN AREA.

SO THEY DO MEET THE HEIGHT REQUIREMENT.

BUT THE SIGN AREA NINE TIMES EIGHT IS 72.

SO THEY MEET THE SIX FEET EIGHT INCHES THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING.

BUT THE WIDTH IS 64FT AND TEN INCHES.

OKAY, I UNDERSTAND I GET IT NOW.

NOW THE VEGETATION.

ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO MAINTAIN THE VEGETATION PROPERLY AT THE SIGN? THAT IS CRUCIAL.

OKAY. THE MANAGEMENT OF THE HOSPITAL CHANGED.

RECENTLY. THE OWNERSHIP OF THE OF THE HOSPITAL.

NO. HCA HCA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION OF AMERICA HCA HEALTHCARE, BASED OUT OF NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, HAS OWNED THE HOSPITAL SINCE IT WAS BUILT 50 YEARS AGO.

I MET THE ACTUAL MANAGEMENT OF THE HOSPITAL.

YES. ARE YOU THE NEW MANAGER? I MY NAME. OH, YEAH.

I'M THE CEO. MY NAME IS COREY MEADE.

I'M THE CEO. I JOINED FOUR MONTHS AGO, AND PETER HAS ACTUALLY BEEN AT THE HOSPITAL FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS NOW, BUT JUST GOT PROMOTED TO CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER.

BUT I'VE BEEN WITH HCA FOR TEN YEARS.

MOST RECENTLY MOVED FROM KANSAS CITY TO BE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO FAMILY.

SO HAPPY. OKAY, SO YOU ARE MAKING SOME CHANGES TO THE HOSPITAL, RIGHT? I'M TRYING TO. YEAH.

OKAY. POSITIVE CHANGES.

OKAY. BECAUSE I'VE HAD EXPERIENCES THERE.

ALL RIGHT. YEAH. OKAY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE PRESENTATION, INCLUDING THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

I LIKE THE NEW LAYOUT THAT I'M SEEING.

YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY I LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY NOT TOO FAR FROM THE HOSPITAL.

[00:40:01]

SO IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME TO SEE SOME CHANGES, YOU KNOW, COMING FOR WOODMAN HOSPITAL, I DO SEE VERY HIGH VISIBILITY BECAUSE THAT WAS SOME THAT WAS LIKE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE COMMUNITY.

I THINK YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE PRESENTATION AND I REALLY LIKE WHAT WHAT I SEE TODAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO VOTE ON THE ITEM? I. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

OKAY. CAN YOU REPEAT THAT IN THE MIC, PLEASE? TURN IT OFF. PRESS THE BUTTON.

MOTION TO APPROVE.

I WOULD TAKE A. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED.

MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION PASSED 3 TO 0.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. THE NEXT ITEM, ITEM NINE B TEMPORARY BOARD ORDER 81.

WE'LL NOW HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT.

GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS DANIEL ARONSON, AND I HAVE WITH ME BIANCA PETITE, WHO IS ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS OF THE BUSINESS.

WHEN WE GET TO QUESTIONS, IF WE GET TO QUESTIONS, I'M SURE SHE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME THAT I CANNOT.

I WANT TO START OFF, IF I MIGHT, WITH.

I'M UNDER A HANDICAP RIGHT NOW, AND THAT IS I'VE NEVER DONE A POWERPOINT BEFORE IN MY LIFE.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.

I HAD TO HAVE A 13 YEAR OLD CHILD LOADED FOR US, BECAUSE THE LAST ELECTRONIC THING I EVER DID WAS CHANGING THE THE TIME ON A VCR.

SO I HOPE YOU'LL ALL FORGIVE THAT.

I'M REALLY NOT PROFICIENT IN THIS, BUT I'LL DO MY BEST.

THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS I'M GOING TO BE SPEAKING ABOUT YOUR CITY, BUT YOU ALL KNOW YOUR CITY BETTER THAN I DO, SO I'M GOING TO BE SHOWING YOU LOCATIONS.
