[9.a TBO86 - Board Order approving/denying Variance applications requesting relief from Section 10-4.10(D)(3)(f)(i), to allow two (2) additional façade signs on non-street fronting façades and requesting relief from Section 10-4.10(E)(2)(a); Table 10-4.12, to allow for a maximum character and graphic height in lieu of the permitted maximum height.at 8251 W. Commercial Boulevard (Culvers).]

WELL, IT DEPENDS ON HOW THEY'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SEPARATE MOTION--YES, I UNDERSTAND--TO VOTE ON EACH ONE OF THEM.

I WOULD GO AHEAD AND READ BOTH OF THEM.

OKAY. YEAH, MADAM CHAIR, ROB JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER.

YES, TODAY, ITEMS NINE A AND NINE B GO TOGETHER, AND THEN NINE C AND NINE D GO TOGETHER, AND THEN NINE E AND NINE F GO TOGETHER.

SO YOU CAN INTRODUCE NINE A AND NINE B TOGETHER, AND THEN WHEN WE GO TO NINE C AND NINE D TOGETHER, AND THEN WHEN WE GO TO NINE E AND NINE F TOGETHER.

WONDERFUL. I'LL DO THAT.

THANK YOU. FIRST ITEM, ITEM NINE A TEMPORARY BOARD ORDER 86.

OH. MY BAD.

EXCUSE ME. NO, NINE A ONLY, AND THEN NINE B, C AND D ARE TOGETHER, I SEE.

YES. CORRECT. YEAH.

YOU GOT IT. THANK YOU. YEAH.

YEAH, I DID SEE THAT.

OKAY. ITEM ITEM NINE A TEMPORARY BOARD ORDER 86.

BOARD ORDER APPROVING AND OR DENYING VARIANCE.

APPLICATION REQUESTING RELIEF FROM SECTION 10-4.10, SUBSECTION D, SUBSECTION THREE, SUBSECTION F, SUBSECTION I, TO ALLOW FOR TWO ADDITIONAL FACADE SIGNS ON NON STREET FRONTING FACADES AND REQUESTING RELIEF FROM SECTION 10- 4.10, SUBSECTION E, SUBSECTION TWO, SUBSECTION A, TABLE 10-4.12 TO ALLOW FOR A MAXIMUM CHARACTER AND GRAPHIC HEIGHT IN LIEU OF PERMITTED MAXIMUM HEIGHT AT 8251 WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS CULVER'S.

AT THIS TIME, WE'D LIKE TO ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME TO THE PODIUM AND OFFER THE PRESENTATION.

[00:10:04]

GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS TREY WATTS.

I'M WITH SPRINGFIELD SIGN REPRESENTING CULVER'S RESTAURANTS NATIONALLY, BUT ALSO THE LOCAL FRANCHISE COMING TO TAMARAC.

ERIC PIERCE. WE HAVE A REQUEST TODAY FOR TWO SEPARATE ITEMS, BUT OR TWO SEPARATE VARIANCES, BUT REFERRING TO THE SAME BUILDING SIGN ELEVATION.

THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. OKAY.

SO OUR FIRST REQUEST IS TO ASK FOR TWO ADDITIONAL SIGNS ON THE EAST AND WEST OF THE BUILDING.

THAT WOULD BE OVER THE MAIN ENTRANCE AND OVER THE DRIVE-THRU ELEVATION.

THESE ARE THESE ARE STANDARD ELEVATIONS FOR A CULVER'S.

I'M GOING TO GO FORWARD TO OUR SITE PLAN, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE.

WE'RE REQUESTING TWO ADDITIONAL SIGNS OVER THE MAIN ENTRANCE, WHICH WOULD BE THE EAST ELEVATION AND THEN ONE OVER THE WEST ELEVATION AS WELL. THE RENDERING OF THAT IS ON YOUR SCREEN.

THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE.

THE REASON BEING IS THIS FOLLOWS STANDARD BRAND STANDARDS FOR A CULVER'S RESTAURANT.

THEY HAVE VERY MODEST WALL SIGNS, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, AND THERE'S REALLY HOW THIS BUILDING IS LAID OUT.

THIS IS REALLY THE ONLY FOUR PLACES YOU CAN PUT A WALL SIGN TO GIVE YOU A REFERENCE OF WHAT IS ALLOWED BY YOUR CODE IF IT WAS ENFORCED.

THE SLIDE HERE IS ATTACHED.

THE REASON WE'RE ASKING FOR THE TWO ADDITIONAL WALL SIGNS WOULD BE, IS THAT IS THE STANDARD FOR CULVER'S RESTAURANTS IS TO DECORATE ALL FOUR OF THE FACADES WITH VERY MODEST WALL SIGNS.

THE SECOND REQUEST THAT IS ALSO A PART OF THIS IS A RELIEF OF YOUR CHARACTER HEIGHT RESTRICTION BASED ON THE FRONTAGE OF THE BUILDING.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWED PER CODE.

WHAT IS LIMITING US IN OUR SIGN APPLICATION IS THE CULVER'S LOGO ITSELF.

AS YOU CAN SEE.

IT'S A CHANNEL, A CHANNEL LETTER, A WALL SIGN, BUT THE C IS MUCH LARGER, ALMOST THE ENTIRE SIZE OF THE REST OF THE COPY. YOUR CODE, BASED ON YOUR LINEAR FRONTAGE, LIMITS THE VERTICAL INCH OF A LETTER.

SO IF WE ARE TO FOLLOW THAT, I BELIEVE ON ONE ELEVATION, THE NORTH, IT'S 26 INCHES ON THE OR SORRY, ON THE FRONT, NORTH, IT'S 26 INCHES ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION.

IT'S 28, WHICH IS SHOWN HERE.

WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING FOR WOULD BE TO DO OUR STANDARD SIGNS THAT WE PUT EVERYWHERE IN ALL MUNICIPALITIES, WHICH IS HERE.

SO WE'RE REQUESTING A RELIEF OF THAT HEIGHT RESTRICTION FROM THE 28 AND 26 INCHES, RESPECTIVELY, TO A TOTAL OF 56 INCHES IN VERTICAL HEIGHT, AND REALLY, THAT IS JUST TO ACCOUNT FOR THE C IN CULVERS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE LOGO LAYS OUT.

I CAN SO THOSE ARE THE REASONS WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THESE TWO, AND AGAIN, THE ATTACHMENT HERE IS SHOWING WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE.

WE FEEL IT'S IF WE WERE LIMITED TO THIS, THE EXPOSURE OR WHAT? A PATRON OR A GUEST COMING TO SEE CULVER'S WOULD BE HIGHLY LIMITED BECAUSE AS YOU CAN TELL HERE, THESE SIGNS ARE MUCH SMALLER THAN WHAT OUR STANDARDS WOULD BE.

IT'S LESS THAN HALF.

YOU CAN SEE HERE THE SOUTH ELEVATION IS UNDER TEN SQUARE FEET AND THE NORTH ELEVATION IS 12.5FT², AND WHEN YOU PUT THAT HONESTLY, WHEN YOU PUT THAT ON THE BUILDING, IT ALMOST KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A MISTAKE BECAUSE IT JUST, IT DOESN'T FIT THE FORM OR THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING TO SCALE WISE. YOU CAN.

THESE ARE JUST STREET VIEWS OF THE PROPERTY.

AS YOU'RE COMING IN, AND YOU CAN SEE AS A REFERENCE TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE BEDDING BARN SIGN THAT'S UP THERE, THAT'S PROBABLY A 24 TO 26 INCH SIGN,

[00:15:07]

IT'S JUST COPY.

WHEREAS WHAT WE'RE LIMITED BY IS THE C OF THE CULVER'S, AND I CAN'T JUST STRETCH THAT.

I'VE GOT TO FOLLOW THEIR BRAND STANDARD LOGO.

SO THAT'S WHY THAT ASK FOR THE 56 INCH IN VERTICAL HEIGHT IS IMPORTANT.

IT'S NOT. SO WE CAN MAKE SOME MONSTROUS GINORMOUS SIGN ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

IT'S LITERALLY TO FOLLOW THE BRAND STANDARDS.

AGAIN, THESE ARE VERY MODEST SIGNS.

THIS IS A STANDARD WHAT WE CALL OUR SL 30 THAT WOULD, WE WOULD LIKE TO PUT OVER THE DRIVE-THRU ELEVATION JUST FOR A REFERENCE.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE PROPOSED FOR THE NEW SITE COMING HERE.

ALSO TO GO THROUGH AND ADDRESS THE ITEMS FOR THE VARIANCE REQUEST.

ALLOWING THIS IS DUE TO NOT THE LANDOWNER ITSELF.

WE'RE ASKING FOR THIS REQUEST.

STRICTLY BECAUSE OF THE CODE LIMITATIONS ON THE VERTICAL INCH AND THEN THE LIMIT OF WALL SIGNS HAVING TO BE ON A STREET FRONTAGE, THE EAST AND THE WEST MAIN ENTRANCE AND THE DRIVE THROUGH DO NOT HAVE A STREET FRONTAGE, BUT AGAIN, THESE ARE MODEST SIGNS.

SO WE DON'T FEEL THAT THERE ARE, WE'RE GRANTING SPECIAL CONDITIONS THERE.

THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES REFERRED TO THE ABOVE DO NOT RESULT IN ANY ACTIONS OF THE LANDOWNER.

THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE LANDOWNER.

THIS IS JUST IF WE WERE TO FOLLOW THE STRICT INTERPRETATIONS OF YOUR CODE THAT'S THE REASON WE'RE IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE.

IT WOULD LIMIT HIS VISIBILITY FROM THE ROAD AND NOTIFYING PATRONS, TRYING TO FREQUENT CULVER'S.

BECAUSE OF THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES REFERRED TO ABOVE, THE LITERAL APPLICATION OF THIS CODE TO DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY FOR WHICH THE VARIANCE IS SOUGHT WOULD EFFECTIVELY DEPRIVE THE LANDOWNER OF RIGHTS COMMONLY ENJOYED BY OTHER PROPERTIES.

I BELIEVE THE BETTING BARN KIND OF SHOWED THAT THEY HAD A MUCH LARGER AND NOT ANYTHING AGAINST THAT.

IT'S A LARGER SIGN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE CODE RESTRICTION OF THE VERTICAL INCH, THAT IS WHAT'S LIMITING US TO THE SIZE SIGN WE ARE ALLOWED IF WE FOLLOW THE STRICT ADHERENCE OF THE CODE.

THE VARIANCE WOULD NOT CONFER ANY SPECIAL PRIVILEGES ON THE LANDOWNER THAT IS DENIED TO OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED PROPERTIES.

WE DON'T SEE IT THAT WAY AGAIN.

SORRY TO REPEAT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER, BUT BECAUSE OF THE VERTICAL INCH, IT IS LIMITING US ON WHAT WE CAN DO COMPARED TO WHAT SOMEBODY THAT JUST HAS A BLOCK FONT OR, YOU KNOW, JUST STANDARD TEXT.

WE ARE ACTUALLY APPLYING THIS TO A LOGO WHICH ALSO ACTS TO OUR WALL SIGN, WHICH IS WHAT IS KEEPING US WHERE WE HAVE TO BE.

THE EXTENT OF THE VARIANCES IS THE MINIMUM NECESSARY TO ALLOW A REASONABLE USE OF THE PROPERTY.

WE FEEL THAT OUR SIGNS ARE QUITE MODEST COMPARED TO OTHER PROPERTIES, NOT JUST IN THIS THIS AREA, BUT FOR A BUILDING OF THE SIZE THAT CULVER'S IS, OUR SIGNS ARE NOT OBTRUSIVE, OR WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A BIG BILLBOARD ON THE SIDE OF IT.

IT'S A RELATIVELY SMALL SIGN ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE BUILDING WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IN SCALE, AND THE VARIANCES IN HARMONY WITH THE GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE INTENT OF THIS CODE AND PRESERVES ITS SPIRIT.

CULVER'S IS A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED BRAND.

MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT BRAND IS RECOGNIZED FROM MARKET TO MARKET.

THAT'S WHY WE CAME UP WITH THESE STANDARD SIGNS AND LOGOS.

SO A PATRON KNOWS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO A CULVER'S.

SO WE FEEL THAT OUR MODEST SIGNS THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR ON THIS BUILDING ADHERE TO WHAT THE TOWN IS LOOKING TO DO, NOT PLASTER BUILDINGS WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF LARGE SIGNS.

WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR OUR BRAND STANDARDS SO THAT THIS LOCATION IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER LOCATIONS IN FLORIDA OR THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.

I KIND OF DID BOTH OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME, SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT IF I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO, BUT THESE RESPONSES FOLLOW THE SAME C OMMENTS. IN CONCLUSION, WE BELIEVE OUR REQUESTS SUPPORTS GOAL FOUR OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC'S 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN.

[00:20:04]

THIS WILL ALLOW FROM THE TWO SECS IN THE CODE OR RELIEF FROM TWO SECTION IN THE CODE THAT WE ARE SEEKING, AND IT PROVIDES A BRAND NEW, WONDERFUL LOOKING BUILDING WITH MODEST SIGNS ON THE OUTSIDE.

IT'S GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC LOCATION.

WE ALSO BELIEVE THIS SUPPORTS POLICY 1.3 OF THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH STATES THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT ITS CODE OF ORDINANCES AND WILL AMEND THEM, AS REQUIRED, TO REGULATE FUTURE LAND USE THROUGH PROPER SITE PLANNING, SUBDIVISION AND ZONING PROVISIONS. THIS REQUEST ALSO SUPPORTS 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 PLAT APPROVAL REQUESTS FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJACENT LAND USES AND IN CLOSING WE BELIEVE THAT APPROVAL OF THESE TWO VARIANCES WILL HELP THIS LOCATION SET IT UP FOR SUCCESS WITH PROPER BRANDING PROPER WAYFINDING FOR GUESTS AS THEY'RE GOING IN THERE, AND AGAIN IN MY OPINION, THESE ARE VERY MODEST SIGNS ON A DECENT SIZED BUILDING, AND WE'RE JUST SEEKING RELIEF SO WE CAN MAKE THIS STANDARD FOR THIS OWNER TO SET HIM UP FOR THE MOST SUCCESS IN HIS NEW ADVENTURE HERE.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

IT WAS VERY THOROUGH AND INFORMATIVE.

WE'LL HEAR FROM CITY STAFF.

GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PLANNING BOARD.

FOR THE RECORD, I'M CHRISTIAN T.

WATERVAL. PLANNER, CITY OF TAMARAC, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

TODAY WE'LL BE HEARING CULVER'S - TAMARAC CASE NUMBERS 6-B-24 AND 7-B-24 FOR A VARIANCE, WHICH IS QUASI JUDICIAL.

CULVER'S TAMARAC SIGNS PETITION ONE FOR SECTION 10-4.10.

SUBSECTION D3F1.

CODE OF ORDINANCES A VARIANCE REQUESTING RELIEF FROM CODE SECTION 10-4.10.

SUBSECTION D3F1.

GENERAL SIGN REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW TWO ADDITIONAL FACADE SIGNS ON NON STREET FRONTING FACADES, ONE ON THE EAST ELEVATION AND ONE ON THE WEST ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE FOR A SINGLE TENANT.

STANDALONE BUILDING.

IN LIEU OF THE CODE ALLOWANCE OF ONE FACADE SIGN PER STREET FRONTAGE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS COMMERCIAL.

THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION IS CITY ZONING MU-G, WHICH IS MIXED USE GENERAL ZONING DISTRICT, AND THE COMMISSION DISTRICT IS NUMBER TWO.

VICE MAYOR MOREY WRIGHT, RIGHT.

PETITION NUMBER TWO 7-B-24 IS FOR CODE SECTION 10-4.10, SUBSECTION E2A, TABLE 10- 4.12. CODE OF ORDINANCES A VARIANCE REQUESTING RELIEF TO ALLOW FOR A MAXIMUM CHARACTER AND GRAPHIC HEIGHT OF 56 INCHES, IN LIEU OF THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM OF 29IN ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION, 44IN IN LIEU OF THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM OF 19IN ON THE EAST ELEVATION 44IN IN LIEU OF THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM OF 26IN ON THE NORTH ELEVATION AND 44IN IN LIEU OF THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM OF 19IN ON THE WEST ELEVATION. CULVER'S PARCEL INFORMATION.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS COMPRISED OF TWO VACANT PARCELS OF LAND LOCATED JUST WEST OF NORTHWEST 82ND AVENUE, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY BEING CONSTRUCTED AS A 4550 SQUARE FOOT FAST CASUAL DINING RESTAURANT WITH DUAL DRIVE THRU LANE SERVICE.

ITS SURROUNDING LAND USES ARE TO THE NORTH, THE MAINLAND'S 11 RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS THE R-1 DISTRICT.

THE BETTING BARN COMMERCIAL RETAIL STORE TO THE EAST, WHICH IS THE MU-G ZONING DISTRICT.

THE MAINSTAY SUITE HOTEL, WHICH IS THE TO THE WEST WHICH IS ALSO THE MU-G ZONING DISTRICT AND TO THE SOUTH IS THE RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD LEADING INTO THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL.

THE REASONS THAT WE'RE HERE.

TWO CODE SECTIONS THEY'RE LOOKING FOR RELIEF FOR IF YOU SO THE BOTTOM SHOWS REFLECTS THAT, THAT SHOWS THE TABLE AND THEN

[00:25:01]

SIGN LOCATION PLAN.

THE SOUTH ELEVATION, WHICH FACES COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR RELIEF FOR 56IN ON THAT FRONTAGE ON THE EAST, NORTH AND WEST ELEVATIONS.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR 44IN ON ALL OF THOSE ELEVATIONS.

THE LOCATIONS ALLOWED PER CODE WHERE YOU SEE THE GREEN CHECK MARKS ARE THE TWO LOCATIONS WHICH WILL BE PERMITTED, AND THE OTHER TWO LOCATIONS WOULD REQUIRE VARIANCES AS THEY ARE NON STREET FRONTAGES.

THIS IS A SITE AERIAL WHICH SHOWS THE COMFORT INN HOTEL OR HOTEL, YES.

THE BEDDING BARN TO THE EAST, AND YOU CAN SEE AS THE PROPERTY IS NESTLED BETWEEN NORTHWEST 57TH STREET AND ALSO WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

EAST ELEVATION FACADE SIGN, THE SL-31.

THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION WHICH IS FACING THE BETTING BARN.

THIS IS THEIR MAIN LOCATION FOR ENTRANCE FOR THE PATRONS AND CUSTOMERS, AS THEY'RE REQUESTING 44IN ON THIS ELEVATION.

THE NORTH ELEVATION, WHICH IS FACING NORTHWEST 57TH STREET.

THIS ELEVATION IS FACING NORTH WEST 57TH STREET, AND THIS IS ALSO LOOKING FOR RELIEF FOR 44IN.

THE SL-33 IS THE WEST ELEVATION WHERE THEIR DRIVE-THRU IS LOCATED, AND THIS IS FACING THE COMFORT INN SUITES HOTEL, AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR 44IN AT THIS ELEVATION, AND THE SOUTH ELEVATION, WHICH IS THEIR SL-45, THIS IS FACING COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR RELIEF, WHICH IS 56IN.

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

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

THESE ARE THE GENERAL REVIEW STANDARDS FOR THE VARIANCE, AND IT'S THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT EACH OF THE GENERAL REVIEW STANDARDS HAVE BEEN MET FOR THE VARIANCES.

THE 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN MEETS THE TAMARAC IS VIBRANT GOAL NUMBER FOUR FOR BOTH VARIANCE RELIEFS AS THE PROPOSED FACADE SIGNS ON THE TWO WALLS, LOCATED ON THE EAST ELEVATION AND WEST ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING, WILL PROVIDE FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASSIST IN THE ATTRACTIVENESS, APPEARANCE AND IMAGE OF A BRAND NEW 4500 SQUARE FOOT FAST CASUAL RESTAURANT THAT IS LOCATED ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE, WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, AND A MAJOR COLLECTOR ROAD WHICH IS NORTHWEST 57TH STREET.

THE SECOND VARIANCE RELIEF WOULD ALLOW FOR ALL FOUR FACADE SIGNS TO BE PROPERLY PLACED TO AN EXTENT FOR BETTER VISIBILITY, WHICH IS NECESSARY FOR ADVERTISING AND PURPOSES, AND ALONG BOTH WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND NORTH WEST 57TH STREET.

THE TAMARAC'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2019.

THESE POLICIES ARE PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF MEMORANDUM, BUT THEY MEET THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OBJECTIVE ONE, AND ALSO FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OBJECTIVE ONE.

POLICY 1.3.

THE VARIANCE RECOMMENDATION IS 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 MAY 22ND, 2024 MEETING.

THIS CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

SO AT 9:33, WE'RE ALSO CLOSING.

WE WILL BEGIN WITH A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT.

IF YOU CAN COME TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE AND STATE YOUR NAME BEFORE BEGINNING.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I AM GREG BALDEO, THE LEAD PASTOR OF THE ELIATHAH SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, AND I AM GOING TO BE INTRODUCING OUR ARCHITECT, WHO IS GOING TO RUN THROUGH THE PRESENTATION THIS MORNING, BUT JUST WANT TO SAY TO THE PLANNING BOARD THAT THIS IS AN HISTORIC MOMENT FOR US AT THE CHURCH, AS WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR QUITE A WHILE TO ESTABLISH THIS NEW BUILDING FOR OUR CHURCH AND TO SERVE THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

WE HAVE BEEN SERVING TAMARAC FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS.

THIS YEAR WE CELEBRATE CELEBRATED 25 YEARS, AND AT THIS STAGE, WE ARE READY TO DO MUCH MORE FOR THE CITY OF TAMARAC, AND SO WE'RE SO THANKFUL TO BE HERE THIS MORNING. WE'RE EXCITED AND GLAD TO BE HERE.

SO I INVITE OUR ARCHITECT, PIROOZ, TO COME FORWARD AND MAKE THAT PRESENTATION FOR US.

THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS PIROOZ BOROJERDI.

I'M WITH TALLY ENGINEERING AND I'M REPRESENTING THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, ABBREVIATED AS SDA.

WE ARE HERE TO SUBMIT TO YOU OUR SITE PLAN ALONG WITH TWO VARIANCES.

THIS IS THE EXISTING SITE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO GET OUR SITE PLAN APPROVED.

AS YOU SEE THAT THERE IS A VACANT LOT.

WE ARE ADJACENT TO SOME RESIDENCES.

THERE IS AN EXISTING 2000FT² CHURCH THAT PRESENTLY THE CHURCH IS UTILIZING FOR THEIR SERVICE, AND THIS PROPERTY CONSISTS OF.

IF YOU PARCELS, THAT WILL BE COMBINED INTO ONE [INAUDIBLE] WHEN WE GET OUR APPROVAL, AND IT'S FACING UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THE PHASE ONE OF THE CONSTRUCTION IS TO DEVELOP THE ENTIRE SITE.

WE ARE PLANNING TO DEVELOP THE 5.7 ACRE WITH FULL SITE DRAINAGE, HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY, A CONTINUOUS SIDEWALK THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY, COMPLETE LANDSCAPING AND SITE

[00:35:03]

WE ARE GOING TO BE PROVIDING SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL, ALONG WITH THE 25 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ZONES. WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS WE CAME IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD IN APRIL OF 2019.

CAN I INTERRUPT YOU FOR A QUICK MOMENT? WE CAN HEAR YOU.

I CAN HEAR YOU, BUT THE MIC ISN'T ON.

SURE. IT'S ON? YEAH. WE CAN HEAR YOU NOW.

OKAY. YEAH.

WE CAME IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD, AND GOT OUR APPROVAL FOR THE REZONING T HIS PARCEL, IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A CHURCH ALONG THE UNIVERSITY DRIVE, AND AFTER WE GOT OUR APPROVAL, WE PROCEEDED WITH THE SITE PLAN PROCESS.

IT HAS BEEN A LENGTHY PROCESS BECAUSE WE IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO MEET , WE HAD AN ACCESS PROBLEM.

THERE IS AN EXISTING INTEREST EXIT FROM THE UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THAT AFTER WE SUBMIT OUR DRAWING TO COUNTY AND FDOT, THEY TOLD US THAT THIS ACCESS CANNOT BE ALLOWED BECAUSE THIS INTERSECTION WAS NOT PERMITTED.

WE HAD TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF TRAFFIC STUDY, AND UNTIL WE CAN PROVE TO THEM THAT IT'S SAFELY, WE CAN USE IT.

FINALLY, THEY APPROVED IT, AND WITH CONDITION.

THE CONDITION WAS TO ADD.

THE CONDITION WAS TO ADD ADDITIONAL TURNING LANE TO THE PROPERTY BY ADDING ADDITIONAL LANE TO UNIVERSITY DRIVE, AND THE SECOND CONDITION WAS TO THEY WAS LOOKING FOR 100 FOOT STACKING. SO WE HAVE TO PUSH THE CHURCH ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIREMENT THAT'S SET BY THE FDOT. SDA CHURCH PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY NEARLY 22 YEARS AGO, AND THIS WAS ON THE PLANNING BOARD FOR A LONG TIME.

FINALLY WE DECIDED TO START THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND DUE TO THE BUDGET CONSTRAINT, DECIDED TO PHASE OUT THE PROJECT.

AT THIS PHASE OF THE PROJECT.

WE ARE PLANNING TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE SITE DRAINAGE, SITE LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING, A S WELL AS SIDEWALK AND HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY.

AS PART OF OUR APPROVAL, WE ALSO REQUESTED TO CONSTRUCT AN 18,430FT² AUDITORIUM FOR THE SDA CHURCH.

THIS IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE CHURCH THAT UPON COMPLETION IT WILL BLEND IN WITH THE COMMUNITY AND\ IT WILL ELEVATE THE ESTHETIC OF THE COMMUNITY.

[00:40:04]

THAT IS THE WEST ELEVATION THAT IS FACING UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION.

WHICH IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE AUDITORIUM THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILT IN PHASE ONE OF THIS PROJECT, AND THIS IS A SOUTH ELEVATION.

THIS CAN BE VIEWED AS YOU ARE TRAVELING UNIVERSITY DRIVE NORTHBOUND, AND THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE SOUTH ELEVATION.

NORTH ELEVATION.

THE NORTH ELEVATION IS ALSO CAN BE VIEWED WHEN YOU TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND FROM UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CHALLENGES WITH THIS ELEVATION.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE SEEKING A VARIANCE BECAUSE DUE TO THE PHASING OF THIS PROJECT, IF ANY CHANGES MADE TO THIS WALL, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MEET ALL THE ARTICULATION REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL REQUIREMENT, BUT ANY CHANGES CAN BE MADE TO THIS.

IF WE MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THIS ELEVATION, THIS IS GOING TO BE IN CONFLICT FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, AND THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE NORTH ELEVATION.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE TOP VIEW OF THE CHURCH FOR THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CONSTRUCTION WHEN THE AUDITORIUM IS CONSTRUCTED.

THIS IS A FLOORPLAN.

AS WE MENTIONED IN THIS PHASE, WE ONLY BUILDING THE AUDITORIUM.

WHICH THIS AUDITORIUM IS GOING TO BE SUPPORTED BY LOBBY BATHROOM FACILITIES, AND THE MECHANICAL ROOM.

ELECTRICAL ROOM AND THE FUTURE STAIRS THAT THE SUPPORTING THE S ECOND FLOOR MEZZANINE IN THE SECOND PHASE OF THIS PROJECT.

NORTH ELEVATION AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE SEEKING VARIANCE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT MEETING ALL THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ARTICULATION AS REQUIRED, BUT THIS IS TEMPORARY BECAUSE IN THE SECOND PHASE, WHEN WE ADD THE WINGS TO THE PROJECT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE LOCATED ON THE NORTH, SOUTH AND WEST SIDE OF THE PROJECT.

THEN WE ARE IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT CODE.

AS YOU SEE ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION, [INAUDIBLE], WE ARE MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, BUT ON THE NORTH ELEVATION WE ARE NOT IN COMPLETE COMPLIANCE.

FOR THE VARIATION NUMBER TWO, WE ARE NOT MEETING THE LANDSCAPING BUFFER ZONE REQUIREMENT IN VARIOUS SMALL SECTION.

AS WE HAVE SHOWN ON THE PINK COLOR, THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE ARE NOT MEETING THE 25FT REQUIREMENT.

WE ONLY CAN PROVIDE 22FT, AND THIS DUE TO THE MANY RESTRICTIONS THAT DO NOT FORCE US TO DEVELOP THE SITE.

ONE OF THEM WAS PARKING REQUIREMENT TRAFFIC CIRCULATION, AND AS YOU SEE, THE

[00:45:05]

IT IS A SLIGHT, YOU KNOW, ONE SIDE IS SHORTER THAN OTHERS, BUT THE MAIN PROBLEM CAME WHEN FDOT A PPROVED OUR ENTRANCE AND SET THE CONDITION FOR US THAT THEY WAS LOOKING FOR 100FT STACKING FROM THE ENTRANCE.

SO THAT FORCED US TO PUSH THE CHURCH ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK.

SO THAT CREATED HARDSHIPS FOR US TO MEET ALL THESE REQUIREMENTS AND NOT TO COMPROMISE FOR THE FUTURE EXPANSION, AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE SEEKING A VARIANCE.

THIS IS THE COMPLETE SITE.

AFTER THE PHASE ONE, THEN WE ARE GOING TO BE ADDING THREE WINGS TO THE NORTH, TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE WEST, AND THIS CHURCH IS NOT GOING TO BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL WITHOUT THE SECOND PHASE, BECAUSE IN THE FIRST PHASE WE ONLY BUILDING THE AUDITORIUM.

ON THE SECOND PHASE, WE ARE GOING TO BE PROVIDING MULTIPURPOSE ROOM, BANQUET HALL, FULL COMMERCIAL KITCHEN FACILITY, OFFICE, CONFERENCE ROOM, BIBLE STUDY AND AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO, WE HAVE A TOTAL FACILITY OF 41,512FT² OF STRUCTURES.

THIS IS A SLIDE OR THE RENDERING WHEN THE TWO WINGS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING IS CONSTRUCTED, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE.

WITH THIS, I WOULD WE ARE REQUESTING APPROVAL OF OUR SITE PLAN, AND TWO VARIANCES SO WE CAN PROCEED WITH CONSTRUCTION OF THIS CHURCH.

THAT'S COMPLETED? OKAY. THANK YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO NOW HEAR FROM CITY STAFF.

IF YOU CAN HANG CLOSE BY, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND ANN JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

AS STATED BEFORE BY THE APPLICANT, THE ITEMS BEING BROUGHT BEFORE YOU TODAY ARE FOR TWO VARIANCE REQUESTS AND ONE MAJOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR A RELIGIOUS FACILITY.

THE FIRST VARIANCE IS BEING REQUESTED FROM SECTION 10-4.7 D, SUBSECTION FOUR A AND B, TO ALLOW FOR A RELIEF FROM THE HORIZONTAL AND THE VERTICAL DESIGN ELEMENTS ON THE NORTH ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING, AND THE SECOND VARIANCE, AS HE EXPLAINED, IS TO ALLOW FOR A 22 FEET LANDSCAPE BUFFER TO THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

WHEN A 25-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER IS REQUIRED, AND THEN THE LAST REQUEST, OF COURSE, IS FOR THE MAJOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITY. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN COMMISSION DISTRICT FOUR, COMMISSIONER KICIA DANIEL.

SO, JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT THE PROPERTY AND ITS HISTORY.

THIS PROPERTY WILL HAVE AN ADDRESS RANGE 7400 THROUGH 7550 NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE PARCELS HAVE AN UNDERLYING FUTURE LAND USE OF COMMERCIAL.

AS THE APPLICANT STATED, THE CHURCH DID ACQUIRE THIS PROPERTY SOME TIME AGO, SO BACK IN THE LATE 90S.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 5.7 ACRES, BOTH PARCELS, AND THE CHURCH ACTUALLY WAS ORIGINALLY ZONED NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, BUT AS THE APPLICANT STATED, THE PROPERTY WAS REZONED BACK IN 2018, AND THEN IT WAS REZONED AGAIN IN 2019 TO ALLOW FOR THE

[00:50:06]

SO THE NORTH ELEVATION VARIANCE, AGAIN, THE CODE REQUIRES CERTAIN DESIGN ELEMENTS, AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE PICTURE ON THE SCREEN SHOWN BEFORE YOU.

THAT I BROUGHT UP THIS LITTLE PINK RECTANGLE, AND SO THIS PINK RECTANGLE ON THIS FACADE, THIS IS WHERE THOSE ELEMENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED.

CERTAIN WINDOWS, CERTAIN FACADE BANDING, THERE ARE CERTAIN ELEMENTS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE ELEVATION, BUT BECAUSE THE CHURCH DESIRES TO BUILD OUT THIS BUILDING IN THE FUTURE, THIS WOULD CREATE A HARDSHIP BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEED TO THEN DEMOLISH THOSE ELEMENTS TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW FOR THAT BUILD OUT.

THE SOUTH ELEVATION.

THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU REFERENCE.

THIS IS TYPICALLY WHAT THE BUILDING WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE HAD IT BEEN CONSTRUCTED TO MATCH THE NORTH ELEVATION AS WELL.

THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER VARIANCE AGAIN, THAT SECTION TO THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

IT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK.

THE CODE REQUIRES THAT A BUFFER IS INSTALLED BETWEEN NONRESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

SO BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS A NONRESIDENTIAL USE, IT IS A BUDDING A RESIDENTIAL USE TO THE REAR.

THAT'S WHY THAT 25 FOOT BUFFER IS REQUIRED.

THIS IS A UNIQUE PARCEL BECAUSE THE BOUNDARIES TO THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY, THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE, THEY'RE NARROWER THAN WHAT THEY ARE TO THE FRONT OF THE PARCEL, AND SO THIS REQUIRED THAT THE APPLICANT HAD TO ALSO PUSH THE DEVELOPMENT BACK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AS WELL TO MEET OTHER REQUIREMENTS, AND SO THAT'S WHY THIS REAR PORTION OF THIS BUFFER IS NARROWER IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA OF THE PROPERTY.

WHAT IT ESSENTIALLY RESULTS TO IS ABOUT A VARIANCE THAT'S REQUESTING A THREE FOOT DIFFERENCE THAN WHAT THE CODE WOULD NORMALLY REQUIRE.

THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION AGAIN TO THE REAR.

SO THIS IS HOW IT LOOKED TO THE REAR.

THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANT SPACE TO THE REAR ALREADY, SO THE VARIANCE THAT IS REQUIRED, IT IS THE MINIMUM VARIANCE NECESSARY TO MEET THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE CODE REQUIREMENTS.

THESE ARE THE STANDARDS FOR APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE AS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU.

I WON'T READ ALL OF THEM TO YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE CONTAINED IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND SO ARE THE APPLICANT'S RESPONSES AND IT IS THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE APPLICANT RESPONSES DOES SATISFY SATISFY THE CRITERIA FOR THE VARIANCE TO BE GRANTED. THIS APPLICANT'S REQUEST IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH TAMARAC'S 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN, TAMARAC IS HOME. THE APPROVAL OF THESE VARIANCES WILL ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS RELIGIOUS FACILITY, PROVIDING FOR A PLACE OF WORSHIP IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT BOTH VARIANCES ARE APPROVED BY I'M SORRY THAT BOTH VARIANCES ARE GIVEN A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO BE FORWARDED TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS MAY 8TH, 2024 MEETING.

SO AS WE GO INTO THE SITE PLAN, I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU MORE BACKGROUND ABOUT THE ACTUAL SITE FEATURES.

SO AGAIN IT CONSISTS OF TWO CONTIGUOUS PARCELS.

THE APPLICANT WILL BE REQUIRED, AS NOTED AS ONE OF THE CONDITIONS ON THE SITE PLAN TO HAVE THESE PARCELS FORMALLY JOINED THROUGH A UNITY OF TITLE.

THEIR EXISTING FACILITY IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 6000FT², AND THEY CURRENTLY HAS A SUFFICIENT PARKING, WHICH IS 42 PARKING SPACES.

ACCESS TO THE EXISTING CHURCH IS ALSO PROVIDED INFORMALLY FROM NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND THEN ALSO FROM NORTHWEST 76TH STREET.

TO TOUCH ON THE ITEM THAT THE APPLICANT REFERENCED BEFORE THIS PORTION OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE, THAT YELLOW CIRCLE, I APOLOGIZE.

THE YELLOW CIRCLE IS SHOWING YOU WHERE THE EXISTING CHURCH IS NOW, AND ALSO THE ARROWS ARE SHOWING YOU THE INGRESS AND EGRESS TO THE PROPERTY AS WELL AND THAT YELLOW SHAPE THAT JUST APPEARED THERE.

THIS IS WHERE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION THEY OWN THIS PARTICULAR RIGHT OF WAY, AND SO THEY'VE MADE CERTAIN REQUESTS FROM THE APPLICANT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE.

SO ALTHOUGH THERE'S LIKE AN INFORMAL DIRT PATH THAT'S KIND OF BEEN USED OVER THE YEARS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FORMALLY CREATE AN ENTRANCE THERE, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF

[00:55:01]

NOW IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUSH IT BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, BUT IT'LL STILL REMAIN IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH, AND AGAIN, JUST SHOWING YOU WHAT THAT ACCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE ONCE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION GRANTS THE APPROVAL FOR THE APPLICANT TO USE THAT ACCESS.

SO REQUEST NUMBER THREE AGAIN WE'RE REFERRING TO THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

SO IT'S GOING TO FEATURE A 18,430 SQUARE FOOT RELIGIOUS FACILITY.

IT WILL HAVE MULTI-MODAL ACCESS.

SO I'LL GO THROUGH THEM YOU KNOW PRETTY QUICKLY WITH YOU.

THE NEW RIGHT TURN LANE THAT I DISCUSSED.

IT'S SHOWN IN PINK ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU.

ALL THE AREAS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE.

THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE NEW SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS.

SO IT WILL BE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY.

IT'S GOING TO CONNECT TO THAT NEW BUS STOP THAT IS SHOWN WITH THE RED ARROW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

THE SITE WILL HAVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SIGNAGES FOR SAFETY AND ALSO FOR DIRECTIONAL PURPOSES.

IT WILL ALSO FEATURE THREE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SPACES AS WELL.

THAT AREA SHOWN IN ORANGE IS THE NEW BUFFER WALL THAT WILL BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE CHURCH PROPERTY AND THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE A GREEN SPACE AREA, AND THAT SPACE IS GOING TO BE OPEN FOR RECREATIONAL AND YOUTH ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHURCH.

ON THE SCREEN SHOWN BEFORE YOU ARE ALSO THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, AND SO AS A PART OF THIS PROJECT, THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO DO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPE WORK.

IT WILL ADD TO THE ESTHETIC VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND ALSO ADD FOR CONTINUOUS BUFFERING FROM THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY, AND I'LL GO THROUGH A FEW SPECIFICS ON THE NEXT SLIDE, AND SO THE LANDSCAPE AREA REQUIRED FOR THIS PROPERTY WAS 30%.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY PROVIDING 50.5, WHICH IS ABOVE WHAT THE CODE REQUIRES.

THE VEHICULAR LAND USE LANDSCAPING WAS REQUIRED AT 15%.

THEY'VE PROVIDED 29%.

A TOTAL OF 84 SHADE TREES WERE PROVIDED.

THEY'RE PROVIDING 108.

TOTAL TREES REQUIRED WERE 168, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY PLANTING 236 TREES ON THIS SITE.

SO THE SITE WILL BE WELL LANDSCAPED, AND AGAIN, IT WILL CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THIS PORTION OF THE UNIVERSITY DRIVE CORRIDOR.

THE CHURCH OPERATIONS ARE TYPICALLY HELD ON SATURDAYS BETWEEN 8 A.M, AND 8 P.M.

THEY HAVE A GROWING CONGREGATION, SO AT THIS TIME THEY ANTICIPATE THE ATTENDANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 340 MEMBERS.

THEY OFFER VARIOUS TYPES OF COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, AND AGAIN, THE CHURCH WILL USE THE OPEN FIELD BETWEEN THE NEW AND THE OLD FACILITY FOR YOUTH AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES.

IT WILL MAINTAIN THAT OLD BUILDING, SO THE CHURCH DOES NOT HAVE IMMEDIATE PLANS TO DEMOLISH THEIR EXISTING CHURCH.

THEY'RE GOING TO USE THAT FOR AUXILIARY SERVICES LIKE OFFICES AND STORAGE, AND THEY HAVE NO FORMAL PLANS TO ADD AN EDUCATIONAL FACILITY. A TRAFFIC STUDY WAS REQUIRED DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO REVIEW A FEW OF THOSE ITEMS THAT WERE DISCOVERED DURING THE TRAFFIC STUDY, AND SO THE EXISTING CHURCH GENERATED ABOUT 256 TRIPS ACCORDING TO THE TRANSPORTATION ITE MANUAL, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS UTILIZE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE TRAFFIC IMPACT WILL BE FROM THE CHURCH.

DUE TO THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE NEW CHURCH, AND WITH THE ADDITIONAL VEHICLE TRIPS THAT ARE ANTICIPATED AS A RESULT OF THE BUILD OUT. THERE WILL BE ABOUT 250 MORE TRIPS THAT WILL BE GENERATED AS A RESULT, BUT AGAIN, WITH THE ADDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY DRIVE INSURANCE AND ALSO WITH THE CONNECTIONS INTERNAL TO THE PROPERTY OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER HAS AGREED THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL RESULT IN A MINIMUM IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING TRAFFIC NETWORK.

THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU, AGAIN, BETTER DETAIL ABOUT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION APPLICATION THAT THE APPLICANT IS CURRENTLY IN THE

[01:00:07]

SO, AGAIN, ONCE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND FORMALLY APPROVE THIS ENTRANCE, THE CHURCH WILL BE ABLE TO USE THAT ENTRANCE FROM UNIVERSITY DRIVE, PROVIDING THAT THEY PROVIDE THAT RIGHT TURN LANE ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THEY HAVE TO RECONSTRUCT THE BICYCLE LANE AS WELL, AND THEN THEY WILL NEED TO RELOCATE THE BUS SHELTER SO THAT ALL THE EXISTING AMENITIES THAT WERE THERE BEFORE WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN IN THAT AREA.

REGARDING THE BUILDING'S APPEARANCE, THE ELEVATIONS SHOWN BEFORE YOU AT THE TOP JUST HAS A FEW NOTES, SO YOU WOULD HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW BIG THIS BUILDING IS COMPARED TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.

THE MID OF THE ANGULAR INITIAL FIRST ROOF IS ABOUT 33FT IN HEIGHT.

THE BELFRY STEEPLE IS ABOUT 40FT, AND THEN THE TIPPY TOP OF THE CROSS IS ABOUT 60FT, AND SO THE CITY'S CODE DOES ALLOW FOR THESE TYPES OF FEATURES TO BE INSTALLED AT THE TOP OF A CHURCH, AND IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT, AS THE DEVELOPMENT IS ADJACENT TO MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES THAT ARE ALSO TO ABOUT TWO STORIES IN HEIGHT.

THE ELEVATIONS FOR THE BUILDING WERE ALSO SUBJECT TO ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BY THE CITY'S ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT, AND SO, AS YOU HAVE SEEN FROM THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION, THE CHURCH WILL BE PAINTED WITH NEUTRAL AND EARTH TONE COLORS, AND AGAIN, THE CHURCH HAS COMPLIED TO A GREAT DEGREE TO THE CITY'S CODE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR THE CHURCH.

THE AERIAL ELEVATION IS WHAT THE, AGAIN, THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CHURCH WILL LOOK LIKE UPON COMPLETION, AND SHOWN ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU ARE THE STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

SO AGAIN, I WON'T READ THESE BECAUSE THOSE RESPONSES ARE IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND IT IS THE OPINION THAT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE STANDARDS OF THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

THEY HAVE BEEN SATISFIED THROUGH THIS APPLICANT'S REQUEST.

IT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH TAMARAC'S 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN.

GOAL NUMBER FOUR TAMARAC IS VIBRANT.

THIS WILL PROVIDE A WALKABLE FACILITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL SERVE AS A PLACE OF WORSHIP.

REGARDING THE SITE PLAN, THE STAFF HAS PLACED NINE CONDITIONS ON THE SITE PLAN FOR APPROVAL.

AGAIN, THEY'RE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU, SO I WON'T GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM.

I'LL JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT AGAIN.

THIS APPLICATION IS SUBJECT TO FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ACTUALLY APPROVING THAT ENTRANCE ON UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD.

THE UNITY OF TITLE DOES HAS TO BE HAS TO BE EXECUTED FOR THE JOINING OF THOSE TWO PROPERTIES, AND THIS APPLICATION IS SUBJECT TO DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES THAT WILL HAVE TO BE PAID TO THE CITY PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THEIR BUILDING PERMIT.

EXCUSE ME. SO THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD ALSO FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED REQUEST FOR THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS MAY 8TH, 2024, MEETING WITH THOSE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT OR A STATEMENT AT THIS TIME? THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR THAT.

ALL RIGHT, THERE ISN'T ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC.

BOARD, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT AND OR STAFF? WELL, I THINK THE CITY OF TAMARAC DID AN AWESOME JOB, YOU KNOW, BY HIGHLIGHTING, YOU KNOW, THIS MAJOR PROJECT, AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS, YOU KNOW, FOR THIS PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH, YOU KNOW, TO ELEVATE THE COMMUNITY.

LIKE BASED ON THE STATEMENT AND BASED ON THE SITE DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION.

SO I ASK MY FELLOW PLANNING BOARD MEMBER TO GIVE US A FAVOR, YOU KNOW, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT.

THANK YOU. ARE WE OKAY TO VOTE?

[01:05:06]

I'LL MAKE A MOTION. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? NOT A QUESTION, JUST A COMMENT.

FROM THE PRESENTATION OF THE CITY, THEY SEEM TO HAVE GONE ABOVE BOARD FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S REQUIRED.

SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO ENHANCE OUR CITY, AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE VERY WELL DONE.

SO I WOULD SAY YES, IT'S VERY GOOD.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS AT ALL? ALL RIGHT. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

ITEM NINE B, TEMPORARY BOARD ORDER 87 AS WRITTEN IN THE BOOKLET WE HAVE, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO SECOND? I SECOND THE MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE TEMPORARY RESOLUTION.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

WE'LL NOW HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT.

GOOD MORNING.

A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.

SCOTT BACKMAN REPRESENTING.

SORRY, LET ME GET THIS RIGHT.

THERE WE GO. SCOTT BACKMAN REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT AGAIN.

PLEASURE TO BE HERE.

SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A PRESENTATION TO YOU ALL THIS MORNING.

I BELIEVE MR. JOHNSON IS THEN GOING TO MAKE A VERY THOROUGH STAFF PRESENTATION.

I THINK BETWEEN THE TWO PRESENTATIONS THIS BOARD WILL GET A VERY GOOD AND CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF THE PROJECT THAT'S BEFORE YOU, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY A PLANNING EFFORT THAT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR THE BETTER PART OF 15 YEARS BY THIS CITY TO ATTRACT DEVELOPMENTS SIMILAR TO THIS ALONG THE COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD CORRIDOR WITHIN YOUR CITY.

I THINK UNDERSTANDING THE BACKGROUND AND THE HISTORY OF WHAT THE CITY HAS PUT INTO PLACE ALONG THIS CORRIDOR IN ORDER TO REALLY ENCOURAGE AND PROMOTE DEVELOPMENTS OF THIS NATURE IS INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR THIS BOARD TO UNDERSTAND, FOR THE CITY COMMISSION TO UNDERSTAND FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO WITH THAT GREAT.

SO WE ARE HERE TODAY TALKING ABOUT WHAT USED TO BE THE CHEDDAR'S RESTAURANT.

IT IS JUST WEST OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

YOU'LL SEE THROUGHOUT MY PRESENTATION.

IT'S A FAIRLY UNIQUE SITE WITH REGARD TO LOCATION AND PROXIMITY OF A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FACTORS.

IT'S SEPARATED FROM THE NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE NORTH, WHICH ARE A MIX OF DENSITIES, TOWNHOMES, SINGLE FAMILY.

THERE'S EVEN SOME COMMERCIAL TO THE NORTHEAST BY 57TH AVENUE.

YOU'LL SEE AS PART OF MY PRESENTATION, AS WELL AS STAFF'S PRESENTATION, THAT THERE'S BEEN AN ALMOST 20 YEAR PLANNING EFFORT, IN EFFECT IN THIS CITY TO ESTABLISH 57TH AVENUE AS A MAIN STREET AND A PEDESTRIAN CORRIDOR, AND OBVIOUSLY WITH TAMARAC VILLAGE AND SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED ALONG 57TH AVENUE FOR TAMARAC VILLAGE ARE KIND OF THE BEGINNINGS OF THAT PROCESS.

OUR HOPE HERE IS THAT THIS PROJECT ADDS TO THAT, AND I BELIEVE IT'S OUR HOPE AND THE CITY'S HOPE THAT THIS ENCOURAGES ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS PARTICULAR CORRIDOR.

AGAIN, VERY IMPORTANTLY, THIS CORRIDOR, NOT THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF TAMARAC, NOT, YOU KNOW, LET'S PUT PROJECTS LIKE THIS ALL UP AND DOWN UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND FURTHER EAST IN THE CITY, BUT A VERY SPECIFIC CORRIDOR, AS YOU'LL SEE WHEN I SHOW YOU THE LIMITS OF WHAT IS CALLED A LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY IN 2010.

I THINK ALSO VERY IMPORTANTLY, TO TAKE NOTE OF HERE IS THAT ACROSS COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD ON THE SOUTH IS THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL, NOT THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

THEY'VE GOT A NUMBER OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE, AND A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE WEST, ACROSS THE STREET FROM TAMARAC VILLAGE IS THE CITY OF SUNRISE, AND SO, AS I SAID, THERE'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT REALLY COME TOGETHER TO ESTABLISH THIS CORRIDOR, NOT JUST THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY AS THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WITHIN THE CITY.

SO WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS EFFECTIVELY THE VARIOUS CONSULTING AND DEVELOPMENT GROUPS THAT ARE PART OF THIS PROJECT.

I'M GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT MINUTE OR SO JUST GIVING A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION, IN PARTICULAR ON MIDTOWN CAPITAL PARTNERS AND PROSPECT REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, THAT IS THE JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIP THAT IS MOVING FORWARD TO DEVELOP THIS PROJECT.

THEY HAVE HAD A LONG STANDING RELATIONSHIP IN WHICH THEY HAVE DEVELOPED MANY PROJECTS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS.

I'LL SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF THOSE.

AT THE SAME TIME, THE CONSULTING GROUP THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU, ALONG WITH OUR CLIENTS, HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF IN THIS CITY.

SO THIS LONG TIME COMING TO GET HERE, GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF WHAT YEAR ARE WE IN? 24? 2023, LOTS OF CONVERSATION BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CITY STAFF, CITY ADMINISTRATION, CITY COMMISSIONERS ON OCCASION, IN AN EFFORT TO TRY AND MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY IS SOMETHING THAT TAKES THAT VISION THAT THE CITY PUT IN PLACE 15 TO 20 YEARS AGO AND BRINGS IT FORWARD TODAY. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD A VISION IN 2010 AND SAID, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.

A LOT HAS HAPPENED.

IN 2010, WE WERE IN A RECESSION.

IN 2020, WE HAD COVID.

MARKETS HAVE CHANGED OVER THE COURSE OF THAT DECADE AND INTO WHERE WE STAND TODAY, AND SO IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE WERE BRINGING.

[01:15:07]

TRYING TO THROW ME OFF, ROB.

[CHUCKLING] WE UNDERSTOOD THAT--IT WAS IMPORTANT TO US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTOOD, MY CLIENTS UNDERSTOOD, THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM, THE ARCHITECT WHO'S HERE TODAY, IF YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM HIM, UNDERSTOOD THAT WHAT WE WERE BRINGING FORWARD KIND OF MET THAT VISION AND THAT CONCEPT FOR 2024 OF WHAT THE CITY REALLY WANTED TO SEE ON THIS PROPERTY. SO, ROB, THIS ISN'T WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

SO MIDTOWN CAPITAL PARTNERS, AND AS I MENTIONED, WE'LL TALK ABOUT PROSPECT IN JUST A MOMENT.

THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT GROUPS.

THEY WERE FOUNDED IN 2010.

HOWEVER COLLECTIVELY THEY HAVE OVER 80 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE.

THEY ARE BASED IN SOUTH FLORIDA, HOWEVER, DEVELOPED THROUGHOUT SOUTH FLORIDA, THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND ACTUALLY INTERNATIONALLY AS WELL, WITH AN OFFICE IN SPAIN.

PROSPECT REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT GROUP ALSO HAS OFFICES IN THE STATE OFFICES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND HAS BEEN DEVELOPING ACROSS MULTIPLE ASSET CLASSES AND OBVIOUSLY TODAY WE'RE FOCUSING ON A MIXED USE ASSET CLASS WITH COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL ACTIVE USES, ALL OF WHICH YOU'LL SEE WHEN WE GET TO OUR SITE PLAN IN A FEW MOMENTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE CONSISTENT WITH, AGAIN, THAT CITY'S VISION OF THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER.

THE NATURE OF THE MIXED USE ZONING AND THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE SEEKING BEFORE YOU TODAY, AND HERE IS A VARIETY OF GRAPHICS FROM DEVELOPMENTS, ALL UNDER THE ASTOR NAME THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BY THIS JOINT VENTURE GROUP, AND SO VARIOUS FORMS OF DEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENT APPROVALS. SO SOME OF WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU ARE PHOTOGRAPHS AND SOME OF WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU ARE RENDERINGS MOSTLY THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA, ALTHOUGH YOU SEE THERE'S ONE THERE IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH AS WELL.

SO THAT BRINGS US TO REALLY WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY, AND THERE ARE TWO APPLICATIONS BEFORE YOU THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING TODAY.

ONE IS A MAJOR SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.

WE ARE PROPOSING 278 UNITS IN A SIX STORY MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT.

WE ARE PROPOSING A RESTAURANT SPACE, AS YOU'LL SEE ON OUR SITE PLAN THAT OUT FRONTS ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD HAS INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SEATING TOTALING OVER 4000FT², AND THERE'S A LITTLE OVER 10,000FT² OF WHAT WE'LL CALL GROUND FLOOR AMENITY AND ACTIVE USE AREAS.

AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE ON OUR SITE PLAN THAT THE INTENTION HERE WAS TO EFFECTIVELY TAKE OUR COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD FRONTAGE AND CREATE KIND OF A PEDESTRIAN, ACTIVE AND VIBRANT AREA IN THE MANNER IN WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED, BELOW ALL OF THE UNITS THAT WILL BE UTILIZING THAT AREA AND THEN THERE'S A LARGE POOL AND AMENITY AREA THAT YOU'LL SEE ON OUR SITE PLAN.

THE SECOND APPLICATION THAT YOU'RE SEEING TODAY IS OUR REZONING, BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A MIXED USE GENERAL ZONING THAT ALSO SUPPORTS THE NATURE OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TODAY, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER, THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT ESTABLISHES MORE MORE OVERSIGHT, MORE PROTOCOLS.

THERE'S A FORMAL DEVELOPMENT VERY SPECIFIC TO THE DEVELOPMENT THAT HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE RECOMMENDING FOR APPROVAL IN YOUR COMMISSION WILL APPROVE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

THAT ESTABLISHES, IF YOU LOOKED AT IT IN YOUR BACKGROUND, MANY PAGES LONG, AND IT KIND OF RUNS THROUGH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS.

I DON'T BELIEVE I GET INTO EACH SPECIFICALLY, IT'S OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT I ALSO BELIEVE IT'S IN THE STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

I THINK THERE'RE 12 TO 15 DIFFERENT SUBJECTS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY REGULATED THROUGH THIS AGREEMENT THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE TODAY.

THE LAST ITEM THAT YOU SEE THERE IS NOT BEFORE YOU TODAY, THE OLD CHEDDAR'S RESTAURANT HAD A WATER LINE THAT RAN TO IT.

WE AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION, IF IT'S APPROVED, WE'LL NEED TO SEEK VACATION OF THAT WATER LINE EASEMENT SO THAT IT CAN BE RELOCATED SO THAT THE BUILDING DOESN'T SIT ON TOP OF IT AND THE CITY, WE WOULD JUST GRANT A NEW ONE TO THE CITY IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ON THAT, AND THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT, THAT ITEM EITHER.

SO BACK TO A CLOSE UP OF THE AERIAL THAT I SHOWED YOU WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE PERSPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IT IS THE CHEDDAR'S RESTAURANT.

I DON'T LIVE TERRIBLY FAR FROM HERE.

MY IN-LAWS ACTUALLY LIVED IN WOODMONT FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS, AND WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AT CHEDDAR'S WHEN IT WAS OPEN.

IT'S A GREAT FAMILY RESTAURANT, ENJOYED EATING THERE, OBVIOUSLY, AND UNFORTUNATELY SUFFERED FROM COVID AS MANY OTHERS DID.

AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, THE RESTAURANT PROPERTY IS OWNED BY A VERY, VERY LARGE AND PROMINENT RESTAURANT GROUP THAT HAS A LOT OF VERY PROMINENT RESTAURANT BRANDS SUCH AS OUTBACK IS PART OF THEM, THEY DID, AS WE UNDERSTAND, SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO

[01:20:07]

THERE WASN'T OR THEY WOULD NOT BE PUTTING THE PROPERTY OUT THERE.

THIS CORRIDOR, AS YOU'LL SEE, AND WE'LL START TO TALK ABOUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL SLIDES WITH THIS LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER WITH THE CITY IS ATTEMPTING TO DO HERE IS REALLY ESTABLISH AN AREA ALONG A BUSY AND VIBRANT COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR TO KIND OF CREATE THAT CRITICAL MASS WITHIN THE CITY IN ORDER TO THEN BRING IN THE VARIETY OF USES, RESTAURANTS, UNFORTUNATELY, STAND ALONE RESTAURANTS, AND IT'S BEEN PROVEN THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF TAMARAC, EVEN ALONG MAJOR CORRIDORS LIKE COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE DON'T THRIVE IN AND OF THEMSELVES, AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS PREVIOUSLY OR NOT, BUT COMMERCIAL ROOFTOPS, THE TWO REALLY THRIVE TOGETHER, AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE CITY IS DOING, AND IT'S IN COMPLEMENT WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COMMERCIAL, AND BOTH SUNRISE AND LAUDERHILL AS WELL, IS TRYING TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT AND AN ATMOSPHERE THAT CREATES DENSITY, THAT BRINGS ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL USES. I KNOW THE CITY IS TRYING TO DO THE SAME WITH THE COMMERCIAL PARCEL AT TAMARAC VILLAGE AS WELL, AND ALTHOUGH THAT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE ALONG THE WAY, THERE CONTINUES TO BE MORE AND MORE RENEWED INTEREST AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS LIKE THIS KIND OF HELP.

ALONG WITH THAT, AND HELP WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT IN AN ORDERLY AND WHAT IT'S REALLY CALLED SMART GROWTH ALONG THIS CORRIDOR.

I'VE BEEN WORKING IN THIS CITY FOR OVER 20 YEARS AT THIS POINT.

I'VE WATCHED A LOT OF CHANGE OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AND I CAN TELL YOU, AND THERE'S DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING ALL AROUND US.

WE ALL KNOW THE STATISTICS WE'RE SEEING, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE MOVING INTO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND IN PARTICULAR SOUTH FLORIDA ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS AND SO ALL OF THESE CITIES, ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA, ALL OF BROWARD COUNTY, REALLY NEEDS TO WORK AND ADAPT TO THAT CHANGE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I CAN ATTEST TO, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE LAST 20 YEARS, IS TAMARAC HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.

AGAIN, IT'S CALLED SMART GROWTH FINDING AND IDENTIFYING THE KEY CORRIDORS WHERE THERE'S ALREADY A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

I'M SURE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO COME UP, AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY, WHERE THERE'S THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AND ESTABLISH THE DENSITIES AND THE INTENSITIES THAT ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH THAT GROWTH, IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE INDIVIDUALS THAT CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE CITY AND CAN'T.

I'M SORRY TO MOVE INTO THIS AREA AND CAN'T NECESSARILY AFFORD TO LIVE EAST POMPANO, THE GROWTH THAT'S HAPPENING IN POMPANO AND DANIA AND HOLLYWOOD IN FORT LAUDERDALE PALES IN COMPARISON TO WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE, AND SO YOU'VE GOT YOUNG PROFESSIONALS AND YOUNG FAMILIES THAT ARE LOOKING FOR OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT THEY CAN, THAT THEY CAN MOVE TO, AND THAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING, AND AGAIN, THIS ISN'T MY CLIENT COMING IN, AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE TRYING TO EDUCATE MORE THAN WE'RE TRYING TO CONVINCE THIS THIS PLANNING EFFORT, AS I SAID, HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE AND STARTED BY THE CITY BECAUSE THE CITY SAW THIS OPPORTUNITY ALONG THIS CORRIDOR, WORKING WITH PLANNERS, HIRING AND BRINGING PEOPLE ALONG.

I THINK THIS BOARD WAS ALSO INVITED TO THE ULI PROGRAM THAT OCCURRED TWO MONTHS AGO.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS, BUT I'M KIND OF REITERATING SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW YOU ALL HEARD AT THAT AS WELL, RIGHT? IT'S JUST TRYING TO SET THE FOUNDATION FOR MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT LIKE THIS B ECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND WE'RE AWARE.

THIS IS UNIQUE.

THIS IS DIFFERENT. TAMARAC HASN'T SEEN A LOT OF THIS.

YOU'RE SEEING IT AT TAMARAC VILLAGE TO SOME EXTENT.

YOU SAW IT WITH THE EDENS MULTIFAMILY PROJECT THAT HAPPENED JUST UP THE STREET HERE AT MCNABB AND PINE ISLAND, BUT THE IDEA AND THE TREND IS THAT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS, NOT JUST WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY, WILL BE COMING THROUGH THE PROCESS, AND SO FOR THIS BOARD AND OBVIOUSLY YOUR COMMISSION AND RESIDENTS OF THE CITY TO HOPEFULLY START TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND ALTHOUGH UNDERSTANDING IT'S DIFFICULT, I WATCH SOCIAL MEDIA AND I'M AWARE OF THE CHATTER AS WELL TRYING TO ENCOURAGE AND GET COMFORTABLE WITH MOVING DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS FORWARD.

SO I KNOW I JUST SAID A LOT THERE.

IT WAS ALL KIND OF CENTERED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF THIS LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE CLOSE UP HERE THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER, LAND USE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY ON THIS SLIDE.

SO THIS IS WHAT THE CITY SET IN MOTION BACK IN 2010, RIGHT.

EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN BLUE THERE HAS AN UNDERLYING LAND USE DESIGNATION THAT IS CALLED LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER.

THAT IS NOT UNIQUE TO THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

THERE ARE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTERS ALL OVER BROWARD COUNTY IN DEFINED, SET AND UNIQUE AREAS.

WEST BROWARD COUNTY EAST BROWARD COUNTY.

DOWNTOWN FORT LAUDERDALE IS WHAT'S CALLED A REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTER BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BIGGER AND IT'S A LITTLE GRANDER, AND IT'S INTENDED TO BE MORE DENSE.

HOWEVER, A LOT OF WHAT YOU SEE OUT WEST PROJECTS LIKE THIS THE CORNER OF SAMPLE AND UNIVERSITY IN CORAL SPRINGS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE YOU'RE ALSO SEEING MORE INTENSE DEVELOPMENT, DIFFERENT THAN, YOU KNOW, THE MANNER IN WHICH CORAL SPRINGS WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED.

[01:25:05]

YOUR LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER WAS APPROVED WITH APPROXIMATELY 1900 UNITS, WITH THE INTENTION THAT THOSE 1900 UNITS WERE GOING TO BE SUPPORTED AND SPREAD ONLY IN THOSE PROPERTIES THAT YOU SEE THERE IN BLUE.

THAT IS WHY THAT IS WHAT AND WHY IT WAS APPROVED IN 2010.

THERE'S NOT VESTING ON ONE PROPERTY IN PARTICULAR.

THE CITY HAS A DISCRETION, AS I BELIEVE, CHAIR, YOU MENTIONED DURING YOUR, AS YOU WERE READING THE INTRODUCTION TO ALLOCATE UNITS, AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE ASKING, AS PART OF THE REST OF OUR PROJECT, IS AN ALLOCATION OF SOME OF THE UNITS THAT ARE THERE, SIMILAR TO WHAT THE CITY DID FOR TAMARAC VILLAGE AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN FOR US AND WILL HAPPEN FOR SOME OF THESE OTHER PROPERTIES.

THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THROUGH ACREAGE THAT THE INTENTION IS TO ALSO HAVE COMMERCIAL USES, AND SO YOU HAVE A VARIETY AND MIX OF RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HOPEFULLY OVER TIME.

THIS ISN'T MEANT. IT'S ALREADY BEEN 15 YEARS.

THIS ISN'T MEANT TO HAPPEN.

NEXT YEAR YOU'RE GOING TO GET ANOTHER ONE AND THE YEAR OUT AND SMALLER SCALE, POTENTIALLY LARGER SCALE, BUT THE IDEA IS TO KIND OF FILL IN THE BLANKS ALONG THAT CORRIDOR.

YOU SEE SOME VACANT LAND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD THAT'S PROPOSED FOR REDEVELOPMENT.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU SEE THE HARD CORNER WHERE THE TARGET USED TO BE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE WEST IS WHERE THE FAITH CENTER AND THE CITY OF SUNRISE, AND THAT IS ALL PROPOSED FOR SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENT WITH A MIX OF USES AND ULTIMATELY THE IDEA AND SPECIFIC TO TAMARAC'S LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A SLIDE, I THINK 2 OR 3 SLIDES FROM NOW OF 57TH STREET, AND I'D LIKE YOU TO JUST FOCUS HERE, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A LARGER AERIAL IN THIS PARTICULAR PRESENTATION FROM 94TH ON THE WEST TO UNIVERSITY DRIVE ON THE EAST, THE CITY BACK IN 2005 ADOPTED A MAIN STREET PROGRAM WITH THE IDEA THAT 57TH STREET WOULD BE A LINEAR PARK, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, A LOCATION TO ENCOURAGE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THESE PROPERTIES, NOT ALONG COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, IN ORDER TO PROMOTE KIND OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL.

UNLIKE SOME CITIES, TAMARAC DOESN'T HAVE THAT CENTRAL BIG ROUND AREA TO HAVE A DOWNTOWN.

RIGHT, AND SO THESE ARE ALL THINGS I KNOW.

I'M SITTING HERE ON BEHALF OF MY CLIENT SAYING AND ADVOCATING FOR THIS, BUT I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING THAT'S NEW.

I MEAN, THIS IS ALL IN DOCUMENTATION THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO BROWARD COUNTY, THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO THIS BOARD AND BOARDS BEFORE YOU, AND IT'S JUST AS I SAID EARLIER, IT'S AN IMPORTANT FOUNDATION FOR EVERYONE TO START TO UNDERSTAND SO THAT YOU DON'T JUST THINK WE'RE COMING IN AND ASKING FOR SIX STORIES, 278 UNITS ON THIS OLD RESTAURANT SITE, AND THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO HOW WE GOT HERE.

SO THIS IS A VERY SHORT VERSION OF WHAT I JUST SPENT THE LAST TEN MINUTES SAYING.

SO THE SITE IS CURRENTLY ZONED WHAT'S CALLED MIXED USE GENERAL.

ALSO VERY IMPORTANTLY, AS PART OF THE PROCESS WITH THE LAND USE AND FROM ALL THIS HISTORY, YOU CAN TELL HOW MUCH I KNOW YOU'VE ALL SEEN ME BEFORE.

I'VE BEEN, AS I SAID, WORKING IN THE CITY A LONG TIME.

AS MISS CALLOWAY CAME IN AND STARTED WORKING IN THIS CITY, SOME OF THE ZONING DESIGNATIONS STARTED TO CHANGE.

YOU USED TO JUST HAVE, I DON'T REMEMBER IT WAS B-1 OR C-1 OR WHATEVER STANDARD TYPE OF ZONING DESIGNATIONS FOR YOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AND THE CITY WITH LAND USE CHANGES AND ZONING CHANGES STARTED TO PUT.

I THINK YOU'RE THE OTHER ONE I JUST NOTICED BEFORE YOU WITH THE CHURCH WAS A MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S A LOWER DENSITY AND INTENSITY TYPE, BUT IT STILL ENCOURAGES A MIX OF USES.

THIS ENCOURAGES SLIGHTLY MORE.

IT'S VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER THAT I JUST SPENT TIME DISCUSSING WITH YOU.

WHAT WAS VERY INTERESTING, AND I FIND ENCOURAGING AS A DEVELOPER'S REPRESENTATIVE, IS WHEN THIS ALL STARTED, THE CITY AND MISS CALLAWAY ENGINEERED A PROGRAM.

THEY CALLED IN AND THEY SAID, HEY, COME ON A BUS, LET US TAKE YOU ON A TOUR OF THE CITY AND LET US SHOW YOU THE CORRIDORS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, I BELIEVE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THAT'S HOW YOU ENDED UP WITH EDEN'S MULTIFAMILY PROJECT UP THE STREET.

I THINK LITERALLY THROUGH THAT BUS TOUR, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THAT'S HOW THAT HAPPENED.

THERE WAS A SECOND BUS TOUR THAT TOOK PLACE NOT TOO LONG AGO.

I DON'T REMEMBER WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF WITH THE IDEA, THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF BRINGING DEVELOPERS INTO YOUR CITY AND OTHERS WITHIN THE INDUSTRY AND SAYING, THIS IS WHERE WE WANT YOU, RIGHT? AGAIN, I MENTIONED THE TERM SMART GROWTH BEFORE THAT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, PUTTING THESE TYPES OF USES IN THE RIGHT PLACE SO THAT THE CITY OF TAMARAC CAN KEEP UP, CAN CONTINUE TO EMBRACE CHANGE, BUT EMBRACE IT IN THE RIGHT WAY.

SO WE HAVE THE MIXED USE ZONING, WHICH AS YOU CAN SEE, SURROUNDS US.

WE ARE PROPOSING TO MAKE THE CHANGE TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH HOW PROJECTS LIKE THIS WILL LIKELY BE DEVELOPED ALONG THIS CORRIDOR IN

[01:30:04]

TAMARAC VILLAGE IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

AS I SAID EARLIER, IT COMES WITH AN AGREEMENT.

IT IS VERY SPECIFIC TO THIS DEVELOPMENT ITSELF AND HELPS THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS TO BE GOVERNED, WHAT OBLIGATIONS ARE IN PLACE.

FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS MY CLIENT'S OBLIGATION TO IMPROVE SOME OF NORTHWEST 57TH STREET, CONSISTENT WITH THAT MASTER PLAN, CONSISTENT WITH THE WAY 57TH WAS IMPROVED ADJACENT TO TAMARAC VILLAGE, WITH THE GOAL BEING IF YOU REMEMBER THE AERIAL I WAS SHOWING YOU EARLIER TO CONNECT THE DOTS FROM UNIVERSITY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 94TH, SO THAT YOU ACTUALLY DO HAVE THIS LINEAR PARK AND PEOPLE USING THIS SITE, AND AS PEOPLE MOVE IN, AND BY THE WAY, THE PEOPLE THAT CURRENTLY LIVE THERE IN THE TOWNHOMES AND THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO THE NORTH CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE GETTING OUT ON 57TH AND WALKING DOWN TO THE AMPHITHEATER THAT'S AT TAMARAC VILLAGE, ALREADY BUILT IN, CONSTRUCTED THE SPLASH PAD THAT'S AT TAMARAC VILLAGE AND CREATE THAT SENSE OF NEIGHBORHOOD, FEEL AND COMMUNITY, WHICH IS THE REASON THIS WAS ALL PUT INTO PLACE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AGAIN, WHAT I JUST DESCRIBED.

SO HERE'S OUR SITE PLAN.

OKAY. AGAIN, FOR THIS CITY, THIS IS A BIG BUILDING ON A THREE AND CHANGE ACRE PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT'S A FOUR ACRE GROSS.

SO IT IS KIND OF WHAT I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE COINED THE TERM, BUT I USE THE TERM QUASI URBAN QUITE OFTEN.

WE ARE NOT A DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT PARCEL WHERE WE'RE PUTTING, YOU KNOW, A 40 STORY BUILDING WITH 500 UNITS ON ONE ACRE OF PROPERTY.

RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE DOWNTOWN PROJECTS LIKE THIS ON THREE ACRES, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE SOMEWHAT FOREIGN, NOT ENTIRELY, AGAIN, MOLDED.

EDEN'S MULTIFAMILY, TAMARAC VILLAGE OR BOTH DENSE AND INTENSE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, BUT THIS IS EXACTLY THE NATURE AND TYPE OF PROJECT THAT WAS ENVISIONED, AND IT IS NOT URBAN IN TOTAL.

IT IS KIND OF WHY I KIND OF SAY IT'S A QUASI URBAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

IT IS A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT, 278 SIX STORIES.

I WANT YOU TO FOCUS BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO SEE.

I'LL SHOW YOU ON SOME OF THE RENDERINGS OF THE BUILDING AS WELL, BUT UNLIKE A LOT OF OTHER PROJECTS, OUR GARAGE, WHICH YOU ACCESS OFF OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD ON THE SOUTH SIDE WHERE THAT YELLOW CAR IS, AND OFF OF 57TH ON THE NORTH SIDE, WHERE THE KIND OF BROWNISH BLACKISH CAR IS; IT IS ENTIRELY WRAPPED.

THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I'M SURE. YOU DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND YOU SEE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WHERE THERE'S JUST A BIG EXPOSED GARAGE AND IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.

YOU WON'T SEE THE GARAGE HERE.

I'LL SHOW YOU ON OUR RENDERINGS.

IT IS WRAPPED ON THE WEST SIDE BY APARTMENTS THAT GO UP SIX STORIES.

IT IS WRAPPED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OFF OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD BY OUR RESTAURANT FRONTAGE, AND THEN AS IT GOES UP, THERE ARE UNITS.

THERE'S A BUILDING THERE THAT SURROUNDS THE GARAGE.

SAME THING ALL THE WAY AROUND THERE, AND THAT'S IT'S IMPORTANT FROM AN ARCHITECTURAL STANDPOINT, FROM AN ESTHETIC STANDPOINT.

SO LET'S SEE A COUPLE OF OTHER POINTS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SITE PLAN.

SO I THINK PROBABLY WHAT IS ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF THIS PROJECT, AT LEAST FROM WHAT WE'VE HEARD, WE KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN DOING OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, ONE OF THE BIG ITEMS THAT COMES OUT OF THOSE MEETINGS IS WE REALLY WANT MORE REAL RESTAURANTS IN THE CITY.

WE GOT ENOUGH FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS.

WE, YOU KNOW, LOST CHEDDAR'S NOT BECAUSE OF US, LOST CHEDDAR'S, AND THERE ARE NOT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ACTUAL RESTAURANTS IN THIS CITY, AND SO YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO SUNRISE OR CORAL SPRINGS OR FURTHER EAST IN ORDER TO FIND A DECENT PLACE TO EAT, AND SO WE HEARD THAT LOUD AND CLEAR AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, THAT THE 3200FT² INTERIOR IS A SIGNIFICANT SIZE RESTAURANT WITH ALMOST 1000FT² OF OUTSIDE DINING AREA.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME RENDERINGS THAT SHOW YOU THE ESTHETIC, THE NATURE, THE AMBIANCE THAT WE'VE REALLY TRIED TO CREATE HERE.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY, VERY CLOSELY WITH THE CITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNER DEPARTMENT.

WE'VE ALSO THE CITY IS, AS I THINK YOU ALL KNOW, HAVE BROUGHT IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT GROUPS TO ACTUALLY WORK ON AND ENCOURAGE THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS THIS TYPE OF USE, NOT THIS USE, BUT RESTAURANT USE, RETAIL USES WITHIN THE CITY.

WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN SPEAKING WITH THEM ON OCCASION AS WELL, ALL IN AN EFFORT TO LURE THE RIGHT USER TO THIS PROPERTY.

WE'VE ALSO BEEN SPEAKING WITH SOME OF YOUR COMMISSIONERS, WITH YOUR CITY ADMINISTRATION.

MY CLIENT'S BEEN HAVING VERY ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT RESTAURANT USERS.

THE IDEA HERE IS TO CREATE A PLACE THAT PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC, TO COME, TO BRING THEIR FAMILY PLACE.

IT MIGHT STAY OPEN A LITTLE LATER, 9, 10, 11:00 YOU KNOW, NOTHING TOO CRAZY CAN GET A, YOU KNOW, A LIGHT BEVERAGE.

YOU KNOW, NOT AND THIS ISN'T GOING TO NECESSARILY BE A BAR, BUT A REALLY GOOD FAMILY LOCATION WITHIN THE CITY THAT EVERYONE'S COMFORTABLE, AND SO WE'VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF

[01:35:09]

I MENTIONED EARLIER THE AMENITY SPACE, THE ACTIVE USES.

SO THERE'S A LEASING AND OFFICE AREA THAT WILL BE THERE OBVIOUSLY FOR, FOR THE LEASING AREA ALSO AS AMENITIES TO SOME OF THE RESIDENTS THERE IS A FAIRLY LARGE FITNESS CENTER THAT WILL FRONT ALONG THE INTERIOR CORRIDOR.

AGAIN. YOU'LL GET A BETTER IDEA OF THIS WHEN I SHARE MY RENDERINGS, BUT THAT WE WILL HAVE WINDOWS, AND THE FRONTAGE, THE IDEA HERE IS THIS IS GOING TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE A REALLY HIGH-END QUALITY FITNESS CENTER AND GYM.

SO ALL ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF THE PROPERTY THERE'S GOING TO BE ACTIVITY, AND THAT WAS ALSO PART OF THE IDEA HERE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S ENCOURAGED BY THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER, AND THEN LASTLY THERE WILL BE A RESORT STYLE POOL AMENITY AREA.

IT'LL HAVE COVERED AND SHADE AREAS, OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE RESIDENTS TO SPEND TIME AND CONGREGATE, AND THEN THAT MIDDLE AREA, WHICH YOU'LL SEE ON A COUPLE OF OUR RENDERINGS, IS KIND OF REALLY ALSO DESIGNED AS A CENTRAL GATHERING SPACE.

IT'S A LOT WIDER, IT'S VERY INVITING, AND THE IDEA HERE IS HOPEFULLY THIS IS GOING TO BE A PLACE A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL HOME AND WANT TO SPEND TIME AND KIND OF CREATE THAT, THAT LOOK AND FEEL THAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR.

LASTLY, AND ALSO VERY IMPORTANTLY, BECAUSE IT LEADS INTO THE 57TH STREET DISCUSSION I WAS MENTIONING EARLIER, IS, WELL, HOW DO YOU GET FROM COMMERCIAL TO 57? BECAUSE THAT'S ALSO VERY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY IF THE IDEA IS TO CREATE THAT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY FOR THIS CORRIDOR ALONG THE 57TH STREET CORRIDOR, NOT NECESSARILY ALONG COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, WHICH WE ACKNOWLEDGE IS A BUSY STREET AND SO THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN PASSAGEWAY THAT WILL RUN NORTH SOUTH FROM COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD TO 57TH AND BACK SO THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN OBVIOUSLY, ANY OTHER RESIDENT CAN CAN GET TO AND UTILIZE THE RESTAURANT.

VERY IMPORTANT AS WELL AS FOR RESIDENTS OF THE BUILDING TO BE ABLE TO GET TO 57TH STREET, AND TO THAT END, I THINK A BLOW UP.

SO I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE IDEA ON THE CONCEPT HERE IS TO TAKE THIS SECTION OF 57TH STREET, DESIGN IT, AND CONSTRUCT IT MORE IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT YOU'VE SEEN AT TAMARAC VILLAGE, IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT THERE.

IF NOT, I HAVE THAT ON THE NEXT SLIDE AND I'LL SHOW YOU A PHOTOGRAPH OF IT, BUT TO CREATE THAT MORE PARK LIKE FEEL, THAT LINEAR PARK FEEL SO THAT PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE WALKING UP AND DOWN 57TH THROUGHOUT THIS, THIS CORRIDOR, THIS AGAIN, THIS LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER, THIS AREA THAT THE CITY IS TRYING TO CREATE THAT'S GOING TO RUN THIS STRETCH.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU'VE GOT THE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT'S A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE WEST, AND THEN ACROSS PINE ISLAND, YOU'VE GOT BASICALLY MOST, FOR THE MOST PART, TAMARAC VILLAGE AND THE COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACES THAT WERE SO IMPORTANT TO THE CITY IN, IN DEVELOPING TAMARAC VILLAGE.

SO THIS IS JUST A VIEW LOOKING UP AND DOWN 57TH, JUST TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE FEEL, UNDERSTANDING THE LANDSCAPING, THE PALM TREES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD, AS WELL AS DOWN THE CENTRAL MEDIAN AND ADDITIONAL ON SITE ON STREET PARKING WITH COMFORTABLE AREAS, PAVED AREAS FOR IF YOU NOTICE, I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL YOU CAN TELL, BUT KIND OF THE PAVERS ALONG THE SIDEWALK, THE IDEA OF REALLY CREATING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT WORD IS A DISTRICT, AN AREA, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU'RE IN A CERTAIN AREA OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC WHEN YOU'RE WALKING ALONG 57TH STREET.

SO THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES ARE THE ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS.

THESE ARE ALL BASED OFF OF THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS AND THE FORMAL DRAWINGS THAT WERE SUBMITTED.

OUR ARCHITECT AT BAKER BARRIOS IS HERE WITH US TODAY.

IN THE EVENT YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, AND THIS IS THE STAFF REPORT MENTIONS THE CITIES.

THE CITY HAS AN OUTSIDE ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT THAT ALSO DOES A REVIEW, PROVIDED INPUT AND COMMENT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

WE'VE ADDRESSED ALL OF THOSE AS WE'VE BROUGHT THIS FORWARD TO YOU HERE TODAY.

SO THIS WOULD BE A VIEW LOOKING FROM THE SOUTHEAST TO THE NORTHWEST, KIND OF LOOKING RIGHT INTO THAT L SHAPE OF THE PROJECT. IF YOU REMEMBER FROM THE SITE PLAN, AS YOU COME IN OFF OF OUR EASTERNMOST DRIVEWAY ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, THERE'S THE ABILITY TO GO RIGHT. THAT'S CROSS ACCESS WITH WHAT'S CURRENTLY THE GAS STATION TO OUR EAST, AND THEN BRINGS YOU INTO KIND OF A CENTRAL DRIVE AREA RIDESHARE DROP-OFF, PICK-UP AND THERE ARE SOME, I BELIEVE IT'S EIGHT SURFACE LEVEL PARKING SPACES.

ALL THE REST OF THE PARKING FOR THE PROJECT IS IN THE GARAGE.

[01:40:01]

THE IDEA HERE WAS TO REALLY CREATE A UNIQUE SETTING.

YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME COLUMNS, THE COLUMNS ARE RECESSED, AND SO THERE'S SOMEWHAT OF AN AWNING OR A CORRIDOR THAT'S ESTABLISHED.

THE HEIGHTS, WHICH I KNOW IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT, IS SOMETHING THAT CREATES THAT LEVEL OF COMFORT.

THERE'S SIGNIFICANTLY MORE HEIGHT ABOVE THE OUTSIDE SEATING AREA AS WELL AS INTERNAL TO THE RESTAURANT SPACE, AND AS THE RESTAURANT IS BUILT OUT, ALL OF THAT WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION ARCHITECTURALLY.

ANOTHER COMPARISON, JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THE TWO SIDE BY SIDE AND UNDERSTAND YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE OUTSIDE SEATING AREA.

SO FROM THIS VIEW, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, YOU'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING FROM EAST TO WEST, WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE PLAN THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE BEFORE YOU, YOU CAN SEE THE DASHED LINES ARE THE COVERED CANOPY OR TRELLIS THAT IS DESIGNED THAT WILL WRAP AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT, AND THEN THERE WOULD STILL BE OUTSIDE SEATING SPACE OUTSIDE.

MY GUESS IS THERE WOULD LIKELY BE SOME UMBRELLAS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE OUT THERE AS WELL.

THIS IS THAT CORRIDOR I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER ON THE YOU CAN SEE STRAIGHT THROUGH IT THAT TAKES YOU RIGHT INTO THE CENTRAL ATRIUM FOR THE PROJECT, WHERE YOU'VE GOT THE RESORT STYLE POOL. ON YOUR LEFT HAND SIDE ARE THE OFFICE IS THE OFFICE USE, AND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WOULD BE THE GYM.

AGAIN YOU CAN SEE THE ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT, THE ADDITIONAL HEIGHT, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CORRIDORS.

ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BY THE ARCHITECT IN DESIGNING THE PROJECT.

THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE NORTH LOOKING SOUTH ACROSS 57TH STREET.

I WILL HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS PARTICULAR RENDERING DOES NOT HAVE THE PLAN VIEW OF THE 57TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS THAT I WAS SHOWING YOU, BUT THERE'S A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT ADDRESSES THAT.

SO THESE LAST FEW SLIDES I JUST WANT TO SHARE, JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FEEL TO THE BOARD OF THE NATURE, THE DESIGN OF THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S BEING PROPOSED HERE.

ALTHOUGH WE'RE OUT WEST, RIGHT, THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY A DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, THE LIFESTYLE THAT'S ATTEMPTING TO BE CREATED WITHIN THIS BUILDING.

THERE'S A CENTRAL LOBBY.

SO SOME OF WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS THE IS KIND OF THE FINISHES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED FOR THE PROJECT, A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A HIGHER END FINISH THAT'S BEING PROPOSED WITHIN THE LOBBY AREA.

YOU CAN SEE ACTUALLY THE KEY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE THERE'S A SECONDARY LOBBY.

DID I SLIP RIGHT PAST IT? I THOUGHT WE HAD A SLIDE WITH THE SECONDARY LOBBY OFF OF 57TH, BUT INTERIOR CORRIDORS, THE TYPES OF FINISHES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, THE TYPES OF LIGHTING EDGING THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED.

AGAIN, THIS IS ALL JUST AN IDEA.

TO GIVE THIS ALL MORE THAN CONCEPTUAL.

WE'VE PICKED THIS STUFF OUT IN A LOT OF RESPECTS, BUT AS WE WORK OUR WAY THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS, WE REALLY JUST WANTED TO GIVE THE BOARD A LITTLE BIT OF A FEEL OF WHAT IT MIGHT BE LIKE TO LIVE HERE WITH RESTROOM FACILITIES, INTERIOR KITCHENS.

YOU KNOW, THE NATURE OF WHAT THESE UNITS MIGHT LOOK LIKE FROM AN INTERIOR PERSPECTIVE.

AGAIN, FROM SOME BATHROOM FIXTURES, AND OKAY, SO THE LAST COUPLE OF SLIDES REALLY TAKE TAKE THE BOARD THROUGH A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACT OF THE PROJECT.

IT'S ALMOST A $50 MILLION DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, VERY SIGNIFICANT WITHIN THE CITY.

CURRENTLY THIS SITE GENERATES ABOUT $84,000 PER YEAR IN TAXES TOTAL.

THAT'S NOT JUST FOR THE CITY OF TAMARAC I BELIEVE THE CITY GETS, I WANT TO SAY, 25 OR 30% OF THAT NUMBER.

THIS PROJECT, WHEN IT'S FINISHED, WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN THAT.

WE WENT TO THE BROWARD COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER AND TAX ASSESSOR.

WE GAVE THEM WHAT WE WERE PROPOSING, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 4000FT² OF COMMERCIAL 278 UNITS, AND THE TAX INCREASE IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER.

I WANT TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT.

THERE IS A HIGHER COST TO SERVICE RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

SO THAT'S THE REASON THERE'S ALSO HIGHER TAXES, BUT THOSE NUMBERS ARE DRASTIC IMPROVEMENTS IN CREATING ADDITIONAL VALUE WITHIN THE CITY.

THERE'S ALSO VERY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FEES THAT ARE PAID BY THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, ALL OF WHICH GO TO VARIOUS OTHER IMPROVEMENTS AROUND THE CITY TO ADDRESS AND MITIGATE THE IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.

I'M PRETTY SURE I TALKED THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE BULLET POINTS OVER THE LAST 20 TO 30 MINUTES, BUT AGAIN, JUST TO GIVE SOME OF THE IDEAS OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS, I KNOW ROB HIGHLIGHTS THAT TO SOME EXTENT AS WELL, BUT ALL OF THESE VARIOUS COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT THAT WE BELIEVE ARE WHOLLY IN

[01:45:05]

THE CITY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION.

WE CERTAINLY HOPE YOU DO THE SAME.

OUR ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS HERE TODAY.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE, UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND I THINK THAT'S IT.

PROBABLY GOING TO GET ABOUT AS MUCH TIME FROM ROB.

APPRECIATE YOU INDULGING ME, BY THE WAY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION.

IT IS. [CHUCKLIG] IT'S GOOD SEEING YOU AGAIN.

I REMEMBER YOU SAID YOU GREW UP IN THE AREA? I DID. WELL, I GREW UP IN PEMBROKE PINES.

I CURRENTLY LIVE UP IN PARKLAND, SO I'VE BEEN A BROWARD KID MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I REMEMBER YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. DO WE NEED TO HEAR FROM STAFF? OKAY, NO? IT WAS THOROUGH ENOUGH.

OKAY. PARDON ME.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S GO AHEAD.

PARDON ME? [INAUDIBLE] ALL RIGHT. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MY PRESENTATION.

YEAH. THIS THIS PROJECT IS VERY UNIQUE AND VERY EXCITING TO BRING BEFORE YOU GUYS, LIKE, I'VE NEVER BROUGHT BEFORE TO THE PLANNING BOARD, A PROJECT OF THIS TYPE, AND THIS WILL BE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE FIRST PARKING GARAGE IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

SO THIS IS A VERY EXCITING TIME.

SO GOOD MORNING.

FOR THE RECORD, I'M ROB JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

JARED PURSER DESIGNATE AGENT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER, PEPPERJACK MANAGEMENT, INC IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A REZONING TO CHANGE THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM MU-G MIXED USE GENERAL TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT INCLUDES A WAIVER OF THE MINIMUM TEN ACRE CONTIGUOUS LAND REQUIREMENT AND APPLICATION OF BONUS DENSITY GREATER THAN 50 UNITS PER ACRE, AND THE ASSIGNMENT OF 278 MID-RISE APARTMENT LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER DWELLING UNITS AND THEN, ADDITIONALLY, JARED PURSER DESIGNATE AGENT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER, AND PEPPERJACK MANAGEMENT, INC.

IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR APPLICATION TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, WITH A DENSITY OF 68.3 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE THAT CONTAINS 278 DWELLING UNITS.

IT HAS A 6140FT² AMENITY LEASING AREA, AND 3246 SQUARE FOOT OF RESTAURANT SPACE, AND SO AGAIN, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 7951 WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

IT IS 3.01 NET ACRES IN SIZE AND 4.10 GROSS ACRES IN SIZE.

WE USE THE GROSS ACREAGE TO CALCULATE THE DENSITY, AND THAT INCLUDES THE HALF RIGHTS OF WAY OF WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND NORTH WEST 57TH STREET.

SO THEY GET A BONUS FOR THE HALF.

FOR THE HALF RIGHT OF WAY WIDTHS WHEN WE CALCULATE DENSITY.

THE PROPERTY HAS A LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER.

FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER.

HAS A ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF MU-G, CURRENTLY MIXED USE GENERAL AND IS IN COMMISSION DISTRICT TWO, WHICH IS MOREY WRIGHT.

VICE MAYOR MOREY WRIGHT.

OKAY, SO A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY.

ON FEBRUARY 12TH, 2005, THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED THE 57TH STREET MAIN STREET STUDY BY CIVIC DESIGN ASSOCIATES, AND THEN A LITTLE LATER, ON FEBRUARY 23RD, 2005, THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED RESOLUTION R-2005-28, WHICH GRANTED NEW DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR CHEDDAR'S CASUAL CAFÉ.

SO CHEDDAR'S CAFE WAS APPROVED IN 2005, AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE CITY COMMISSION WAS DOING THAT 57TH STREET MAIN STREET STUDY, AND THEN IN JULY, THE CITY COMMISSION ADOPTED THE FINDINGS OF THE MAIN STREET 57TH STREET STUDY, WHICH THEN LED

[01:50:01]

SO WE ADDED THAT LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER DESIGNATION TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN 2010, AND THEN ALSO IN 2010, WE CHANGED THE DESIGNATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE PROPERTIES ALONG THAT COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR TO LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER, AND THIS IS THE VISION THAT SCOTT TALKED ABOUT IN HIS PRESENTATION THAT THE CITY WAS DESIGNING FOR FOR 57TH STREET AS THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER TO PROVIDE A WALKABLE SCALE FOR, FOR THAT AREA, AND THEN CHEDDAR'S THEY HELD A OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE ON THE PROPERTY FROM 2015 TO 2022.

WHERE THEN THE IT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE OF COVID AND SO NOW DUE TO THE CREATION OF THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER AND THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTERS SUCH AS TAMARAC VILLAGE, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING NOW A SIMILAR REZONING AS TAMARAC VILLAGE TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE RESTAURANT PROPERTY INTO A MIXED USE TYPE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE PURPOSE OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ZONING CLASSIFICATION IS TO PERMIT LOTS AND TRACTS OF LAND THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY THE LAC DESIGNATION TO BE PLANNED AND DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE WITH A GREATER AMOUNT OF FLEXIBILITY.

BY REMOVING SOME OF THE DETAILED RESTRICTIONS OF CONVENTIONAL ZONING.

IT IS INTENDED TO ENCOURAGE HIGH QUALITY, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT FEATURES INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE DESIGN, YET IS COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH SURROUNDING EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND AVAILABLE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, AND IS PLANNED AND DEVELOPED UNDER UNIFIED CONTROL AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FLEXIBLE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES THAT ARE CONDUCIVE TO CREATING MORE MIXED USE, PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY AND OTHERWISE HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND AMENITIES THAN COULD BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE BASE ZONING REGULATIONS. SO THE ADJUSTABLE REGULATIONS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED BY THE PD DISTRICT ARE DEFINED BY A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN AND A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THE PD PLAN DEPICTS THE GENERAL CONFIGURATION AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PRINCIPAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING USES, BUILDING TYPE USES, DENSITY, RESOURCES, PROTECTION, PEDESTRIAN VEHICLE CIRCULATION, OPEN SPACE, PUBLIC FACILITIES, AND PHASING, AND THIS IS THAT'S YOUR BASICALLY THE SITE PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN WE HAVE THE PD AGREEMENT, AND THAT SPECIFIES THE TERMS CONDITIONS DEFINING DEVELOPMENT PARAMETERS, PROVIDES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION, OUTLINES HOW PUBLIC FACILITIES WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO SERVE THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, AND COVERS THE MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND SO WHAT THAT PD AGREEMENT IS, IS THAT'S REALLY THE ZONING WE'RE BEING PUTTING PLACE A PARTICULAR UNIQUE ZONING FOR THAT PROPERTY TO ALLOW FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND SO THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND WITHIN THE PLAN DISTRICT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE USES, INTENSITY AND DENSITY CONFIGURATION AND ALL OTHER ELEMENTS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT.

THE PROPOSED PD AGREEMENT WILL ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED ADVANTIS TAMARAC MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, PURSUANT TO THE STANDARDS THAT ARE IN THE AGREEMENT, AND THEY GIVE 16 STANDARDS THAT ARE IN THE AGREEMENT AND THOSE ARE SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN, AND SO IT GOES THROUGH PERMITTED USES.

IT TALKS ABOUT PARKING, LANDSCAPING, THE BUILDING HEIGHTS, THE SETBACKS OF THE BUILDING, RECREATION AREAS, THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS.

IT TALKS ABOUT RIGHT OF WAY STANDARDS, WORKFORCE HOUSING AND ALSO THE MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO WITHIN THE WORKFORCE HOUSING SECTION OF THE PD AGREEMENT, 10% OF THE RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS, WHICH ARE 28 UNITS ARE INTENDED TO BE SET ASIDE FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS UP TO 120% ADJUSTED MEDIAN INCOME, AND SO, AS A CONDITION OF THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR, THE CITY IS RECOMMENDING THAT HALF OF THE WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS BE PROVIDED AT 80% MEDIAN ADJUSTED MEDIAN INCOME.

THAT WILL BE 14 UNITS AND THE REMAINING HALF OF THE WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS PROVIDED 120% OF THE MEDIAN INCOME.

THAT WOULD BE THE ADDITIONAL 14, THE REMAINING 14 UNITS, AND THEN AS AN ADDITIONAL CONDITION OF THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR, THE CITY IS RECOMMENDING A WORKFORCE HOUSING BONUS DENSITY INTENSITY AGREEMENT THAT WILL TO BE REQUIRED THAT ENTAILS ANNUAL REPORTING TO THE CITY AND RESTRICTING THE AFFORDABILITY OF THE UNITS TO 30 YEARS FROM THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

[01:55:06]

HOWEVER, A BONUS DENSITY GREATER THAN 50 DWELLING UNITS TO THE ACRE MAY BE ACQUIRED THROUGH THE ASSIGNMENT OF LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER UNITS.

278 MID-RISE APARTMENT.

LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER DWELLING UNITS ARE REQUESTED TO BE ASSIGNED TO THE PROPOSED DWELLING TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR FOR A DENSITY OF 68.3 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

IT IDENTIFIES SEVEN GUIDING POLICY CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE SHOULD EVALUATE IN THE LEGISLATIVE REVIEW WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO ENACT AN ORDINANCE TO, ALLOCATES OR UTILIZES ANY PORTION OF THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER RESIDENTIAL UNIT ALLOWANCE FOR A PARTICULAR PROPERTY, AND THEN IN DECIDING AN APPLICATION, THE CITY COMMISSION SHALL CONSIDER THOSE SEVEN GUIDING POLICY CONSIDERATIONS.

IT IS THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR THAT THE 70 POLICY CONSIDERATIONS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED, AND THE DIRECTOR SUPPORTS THE REQUEST FOR THE PROPOSED DENSITY GREATER THAN 50 UNITS PER ACRE.

THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ALSO REQUIRES ALL PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS TO CONTAIN A MINIMUM OF TEN ACRES OF CONTIGUOUS LAND, UNLESS THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FINDS THAT THE TRACK THAT CONTAINS LESS THAN TEN ACRES IS SUITABLE AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT BY VIRTUE OF ONE, ITS LOCATION WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF ACCESS TO MASS TRANSIT, OR TWO THE PROVISION OF MASS TRANSIT ACCESS IN THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON BUS STOP BUS ROUTE 55 AND CONTAINS BUS STOP 5070 ON THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE OF DEVELOPMENT ON WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND THEN.

ADDITIONALLY, BUS STOP 3010 IS LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO BOTH BUS STOPS ARE WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, AND SO DUE TO THIS, IT IS THE DETERMINATION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF MASS TRANSIT, AND AS SUCH, THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTS THE REQUEST FOR THE PROPOSED WAIVER OF THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF TEN CONTIGUOUS ACRES OF LAND.

A RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL IS TO PROVIDE A COMMUNITY SHUTTLE STOP SERVICE STOP TO SERVICE.

THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AS A POLICY OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REQUIRES ALL DESTINATIONS WITHIN THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER TO BE SERVICED BY THE TAMARAC TRANSIT COMMUNITY BUS SERVICE.

SO THEN FINALLY AMENDING THE CITY OF TAMARAC OFFICIAL ZONING MAP AS A MATTER COMMITTED TO THE LEGISLATIVE DISCRETION OF THE CITY COMMISSION, THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IDENTIFIES NINE REZONING REVIEW STANDARDS TO BE EMPLOYED WHEN CONSIDERING A REZONING.

IT IS THE OPINION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE NINE REZONING REVIEW STANDARDS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED, AND THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SUPPORTS THE REQUEST FOR THE PROPOSED REZONING BASED UPON THE ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REVIEW STANDARDS TO BE EMPLOYED.

SO THE PROPOSED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO CONTAIN 278 DWELLING UNITS AT THE DENSITY OF 68 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

IT HAS A 6140 SQUARE FOOT AMENITY LEASING AREA THAT WILL CONTAIN A 2519 SQUARE FOOT FITNESS CENTER, A 3246 SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT SPACE THAT ALSO INCLUDES 889 SQUARE FOOT OF OUTDOOR DINING AND THEN A AMENITY AREA OF THE POOL OF 10,189FT², AND SO THEN THE MIXED USE BUILDING.

IT WILL PROVIDE A VARIETY OF RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS CONSISTING OF 20 STUDIO UNITS IN FOUR MODELS, 153 ONE BEDROOM UNITS AND TEN MODELS, 91 TWO BEDROOM UNITS IN TEN MODELS, AND THEN 14 THREE BEDROOM UNITS IN THREE MODELS, AND THE MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS WILL CONTAIN A BALCONY. THE MIXED USE BUILDING IS PROVIDED AT SIX STOREYS AT A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 87'3" TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRWELL AND 80FT TO THE TOP OF THE PARAPET.

THE BUILDING PROVIDES A BRICK VENEER AND STUCCO SYSTEM, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF FIBER METAL CEMENT PANELS AND METAL PANEL FACADE ASSEMBLIES.

THOSE YOU SEE AT THE FRONT BUILDING FACADE ALL AN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING AND THE PD AGREEMENT PLAN WAS CONDUCTED BY THE CITY'S ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT, CPZ ARCHITECTS, IN AN EFFORT TO ENHANCE SUSTAINABILITY WITHIN THE CITY.

THE ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT REVIEW CONFIRMED THAT ALL COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED REGARDING THE DESIGN, GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE PD PLAN AND AGREEMENT THAT INCLUDES IDENTIFICATION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND AMENITIES, COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING AREAS, ON SITE PUBLIC FACILITIES, DENSITIES AND INTENSITIES, DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS AND SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND FEATURES.

SO THEN WITHIN THE PD PLAN, IT IDENTIFIES THE REQUIRED PARKING CONSISTENT WITH THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES REQUIRED BY THE CITY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT

[02:00:10]

THE CITY'S MINIMUM CODE REQUIREMENTS ARE BEING USED IN LIEU OF A PARKING STUDY, AND THAT'S WHAT THE CODE ALLOWS FOR PD AGREEMENTS.

THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ALLOWS FOR A 15% REDUCTION IN THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FOR DEVELOPMENTS LOCATED WITHIN 1000FT OF A BUS STOP, AND THIS REDUCTION IS BEING UTILIZED DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE ABUTTING BUS STOP WHICH I JUST WENT THROUGH.

A TOTAL OF 459 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED FOR THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN THE 15% REDUCTION IN THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES DUE TO THE TREND OF ACCESSIBILITY REDUCES THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES BY 69 SPACES, SO FOR A TOTAL REQUIRED OF 390 PARKING SPACES, WHERE A 5.6% OF THE REQUIRED PARKING SPACES ARE TO BE MOTORCYCLE SPACES AND 2% ARE TO BE EV, ELECTRIC VEHICLE, PARKING SPACES. SO A TOTAL OF 393 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED, WHERE THE 390 WERE REQUIRED FOR THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, EIGHT SURFACE PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED THAT INCLUDES ONE ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACE IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF THE 385 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED IN THE PARKING GARAGE, AND THE PARKING GARAGE CONSISTS OF SEVEN PARKING LEVELS THAT WILL HAVE SURFACE PARKING AND THEN ROOFTOP PARKING AS WELL. OF THE 385 PARKING SPACES, THERE'S GOING TO BE EIGHT ELECTRIC VEHICLE PARKING SPACES, 22 MOTORCYCLE PARKING SPACES, AND EIGHT ACCESSIBLE ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES WITHIN THAT PARKING GARAGE, AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, YOU HAVE 12 PARKING SPACES, 12 BICYCLE PARKING SPACES IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, AND AN ADDITIONAL 22 BICYCLE PARKING SPACES IN A STORAGE AREA IN THE PARKING GARAGE.

THAT GIVES US A TOTAL OF 34 BICYCLE PARKING SPACES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE EXISTING VEHICULAR ACCESS POINTS TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD WILL BE RETAINED, AS WELL AS THE EXISTING CROSS ACCESS POINT, WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THE EAST. THAT'S TO THE 7-ELEVEN PROPERTY.

THE EAST RIGHT TURN IN RIGHT TURN OUT POINT ON WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD WILL REMAIN AS EXISTING, WHILE THE WEST ACCESS POINT THAT CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR FULL TURNING MOVEMENTS WILL BE MODIFIED TO ALLOW RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS INTO THE PARKING GARAGE, AND RIGHT TURNS ONLY OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE.

NO LEFT TURNS ACROSS WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

THE EXISTING ACCESS POINT ON NORTHWEST 57TH STREET WILL BE MOVED TO THE WEST TO ALSO ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING GARAGE ACCESS.

THE ACCESS POINTS ON NORTHWEST 57TH STREET WILL BE MODIFIED TO ONLY ALLOW RIGHT TURNS IN AND RIGHT TURNS OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE, BUT ALSO ALLOWS FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT VEHICLE ACCESS THROUGH THE PARKING GARAGE.

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS PROVIDED FROM THE EXISTING SIDEWALK ON WEST COMMERCIAL AND NORTHWEST 57TH STREET, AND YOU HAVE AN ACCESSIBLE PARKING PEDESTRIAN ROUTE THAT'S PROVIDED ON WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD THROUGH THE SURFACE PARKING AREA LEADING TO THE WALKWAY IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

THAT WILL GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THE RESTAURANTS AND THE FITNESS AREA AND THE POOL AREA, AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE THE WALKWAY THAT SCOTT WENT OVER ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND IN THE REAR THERE'S A WALKWAY IN THE REAR OF THE BUILDING FROM THE GROUND FLOOR APARTMENTS TO THE NORTHWEST 57TH STREET SIDEWALK THERE.

SO THE INTENT OF THAT IS TO IMPROVE THE NORTHWEST 57TH STREET RIGHT OF WAY FROM NORTH UNIVERSITY TO PINE ISLAND, IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE MADE ON NORTHWEST 57TH STREET THAT YOU SEE FROM PINE ISLAND TO NORTHWEST 94TH AVENUE.

YOU KNOW, IN THE AREA OF TAMARAC VILLAGE, AND SO AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO THE SITE PLAN, THE APPLICANT SHALL RENDER A THE CITY IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE APPLICANT SHALL RENDER A FAIR SHARE CONTRIBUTION PAYMENT FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FULL WIDTH OF THE NORTHWEST 57TH STREET RIGHT OF WAY TO MATCH THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE NORTHWEST 57TH STREET RIGHT OF WAY AT TAMARAC VILLAGE.

A TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS PREPARED BY WHATMAN GROUP, INC.

WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT TO ADDRESS THE PROJECT'S IMPACTS ON THE ROADWAY SYSTEM AND SITE DRIVEWAYS.

THE PURPOSE OF THE ANALYSIS WAS TO IDENTIFY POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE PROPOSED PROJECT ON THE SURROUNDING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AND RECOMMEND MITIGATION MEASURES. THE ANALYSIS PROVIDES FOR FOR TRAFFIC ANALYSIS METHODS USED.

IT IDENTIFIES PROJECT TRANSPORTATION CHARACTERISTICS, DESCRIBES THE EXISTING ROADWAY NETWORK, ADDRESSES NO BUILD AND BUILD CONDITIONS, AND ANALYZES QUEUING AT THE TURN LANES INTO THE PROJECT.

THE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS CONCLUDES THAT THE PROPOSED THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT WILL RESULT IN THE MOVEMENT FAILURE AT THE FOLLOWING INTERSECTIONS OF WEST

[02:05:06]

WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE, AND WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND O'REILLY PARTS DRIVEWAY AND THE GARAGE DRIVEWAY AND THE WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND NORTHWEST 82ND AVENUE.

UPON BUILD OF THE PROJECT AND WHAT THE, AND WHAT THOSE MOVEMENT FAILURES MEAN IS THAT YOU DON'T GET THROUGH THE LIGHT IN ONE CYCLE.

THAT'S WHAT THAT MOVEMENT FAILURE MEANS, AND SO BASED UPON THE ANALYSIS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SIGNAL TIMING ADJUSTMENTS WOULD BE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT TO MITIGATE THE EXCESSIVE DELAYS AT THE FOLLOWING INTERSECTIONS OF WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND PINE ISLAND, NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE AND WEST MCNABB AND WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND NORTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

SO IF WE DO SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS AT THOSE LIGHTS, THAT SHOULD THAT SHOULD MITIGATE ANY DELAYS, AND THEN AT THE INTERSECTION OF WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND O'REILLY AUTO PARTS AND THE GARAGE DRIVEWAY AND WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND NORTHWEST 82ND STREET, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE NORTHBOUND MOVEMENTS HAD SIGNIFICANT DELAYS AND CAUSED AN OVERALL INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE TO DECLINE.

HOWEVER, THE NORTHBOUND APPROACHES OF THE INTERSECTION WERE FAILING PRIOR TO THE PROJECT, AND SO NO IMPROVEMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED AT THIS INTERSECTION.

THEY WERE FAILING WHEN WE HAD CHEDDAR'S THERE.

THE CITY'S CONSULTANT, TRAFFTECH REVIEWED THE TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS.

ALL COMMENTS PROVIDED BY THE CITY'S CONSULTANTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.

THE CITY'S TRAFFIC CONSULTANT ALSO REVIEWED THE PD AGREEMENT AND THE PLANS AND THE SITE PLAN, THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, THE PAVEMENT PARKING PLAN, THE GARAGE PLANS, AND THEY HAVE SOME MINIMAL COMMENTS AS WELL FROM THAT THEY STILL HAVE TO ADDRESS IN REGARDS TO THE SITE PLANS AND THEN THE SIGNAL TIMING ADJUSTMENTS AT THE INTERSECTIONS RECOMMENDED BY THE SUBMITTED ANALYSIS.

THOSE ARE ADDED AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL RECOMMENDED BY STAFF, AND THEN ALSO A RAISED PORK CHOP ISLAND WAS WAS WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE STUDY TO CHANNELIZE THE EGRESS MOVEMENTS TO BE RIGHT TURN OUT ONLY AT THE DRIVEWAY, OUT OF THE GARAGE ONTO WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD TO NOT ALLOW LEFT TURNS ONTO WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

SO THE RAISED PORK CHOP ISLAND IS RECOMMENDED BY THE TRAFFIC BY THE ANALYSIS, AND WAS PROVIDED ON THE SITE PLAN AND RESTRICTS THE VEHICULAR MOVEMENTS TO RIGHT TURN ONLY AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE SCREEN, THE PORK CHOP ISLAND THAT'S CIRCLED THERE IN RED.

SO IT ONLY ALLOWS THE, THE RIGHT TURN IN, LEFT TURNS IN AND THEN ONLY RIGHT TURN OUT ONLY.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE A LANDSCAPE AREA, A PERVIOUS AREA OF 18%.

WE HAVE A 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ON THE WEST, A 16 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ON THE EAST, TEN FOOT IN THE REAR AND ABOUT 17FT IN THE FRONT.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 32 TREES PLANTED ON THE PROPERTY.

THERE'LL BE 15 SHADE TREES CONSISTING OF BRIDAL VEIL, PIGEON PLUM AND GREEN BUTTONWOOD, TEN SMALL TREES CONSISTING OF DAHOON HOLLY AND CRAPE MYRTLE AND WHITE FRANGIPANI, AND THEN SEVEN PALM TREES THAT ARE GOING TO BE MONTGOMERY PALMS, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO RETAIN THE EXISTING SHADE TREES IN THE SWALE OF THE NORTHWEST 57TH STREET RIGHT OF WAY.

YOU CAN SEE THOSE ON RED ON THE SCREEN, AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO UTILIZING THE EXISTING LANDSCAPING THAT'S PLANTED ON THE EAST AND WEST PROPERTY LINES TO SATISFY ANY OF THOSE CODE REQUIREMENTS SO THAT THEY AVOID DUPLICATION OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

DUPLICATION OF PLANNING, WE DON'T WANT DUAL PLANTINGS THERE, AND SO THEN ALSO 2417 SHRUBS WILL BE PLANTED.

SO THE CODE IDENTIFIES THE THREE SITE PLAN APPROVAL STANDARDS THAT THE CITY COMMISSION NEEDS TO CONSIDER WHEN APPROVING THE REQUEST AND IT IS THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTS THE REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR BASED UPON THE ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPROVAL STANDARDS EMPLOYED. SO THE REQUEST FOR REZONING SUPPORTS POLICY 1.2A OF THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH DETAILS DENSITY, INTENSITY, AND ALLOWABLE USES IN WHICH THE PROPOSED REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ACCOMMODATES AND THE APPROVAL OF THE REZONING WILL FACILITATE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AFTER THE CONSIDERATION OF THE CRITERIA OUTLINED IN THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND AS SUCH, THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FOR A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED REZONING THAT INCLUDES A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND A PLAN DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN, THE PD PLAN AND

[02:10:04]

THE APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN MAJOR WILL ALLOW FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVITALIZE THE IMAGE, APPEARANCE AND ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE COMMUNITY.

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED REQUEST FOR THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS MAY 22ND, 2024 MEETING WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, AND I WON'T GO THROUGH THEM ALL, BUT I'LL JUST TALK ABOUT NUMBER SEVEN IS THE FAIR SHARE CONTRIBUTION FOR THE FULL WIDTH OF THE NORTHWEST 57TH RIGHT OF WAY IMPROVEMENT.

NUMBER EIGHT IS THE SIGNAL TIMING ADJUSTMENTS TO COORDINATE WITH FDOT TO PROVIDE THE SIGNAL TIMING ADJUSTMENTS.

NUMBER NINE IS TO COORDINATE TO PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY SHUTTLE SERVICE STOP AT THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, AND NUMBER TEN IS NUMBER TEN AND 11 DEAL WITH THE WORKFORCE HOUSING UNITS AND THE AGREEMENT THAT'S REQUIRED, AND THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

I HAVE THE CITY'S TRAFFIC CONSULTANT, TRAFFTECH IS HERE TO VERIFY ANYTHING WITHIN THE TRAFFIC TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS, IF YOU NEED THEM TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION OR MAKE A COMMENT ON THE ITEM? THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR THAT IF WE HAVE ANYONE AND I DON'T THINK THAT ANYONE IS HERE THAT HAS A QUESTION OR COMMENT.

SO THE FLOOR IS CLOSED, ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD FOR THE APPLICANT AND OR THE CITY? ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR PRESENTATION THAT...ONE SECOND I WROTE DOWN HERE.

THE AFFORDABILITY WAS RESTRICTED TO 30 YEARS.

WAS THAT WHAT I UNDERSTOOD? YES. CAN YOU ELABORATE ON WHAT THAT MEANS? YEAH. THAT JUST MEANS THAT THOSE APARTMENTS WILL BE HELD TO WORKFORCE HOUSING FOR A PERIOD OF 30 YEARS.

OKAY. SO FROM OPENS UNTIL 30 YEARS LATER IT WILL BE DESIGNATED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING? CORRECT. GOT IT. THAT IS A DESIGNATED FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING AFTER THAT 30 YEARS.

I GOT IT. ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE ELSE? SURE. VIOLA. OH, NO? OKAY. OKAY.

CAN WE HAVE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS, PLEASE? IS THAT OKAY? ALL RIGHT.

FIVE MINUTE RECESS, AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

HELLO, EVERYONE.

I THINK WE'RE ALL BACK, SO WE'RE GONNA RESUME.

OKAY. WE'RE BACK.

I BELIEVE WE HAD SOME QUESTIONS FROM VIOLA FROM THE BOARD, AND THEN WE'LL MOVE FORWARD.

IS YOUR QUESTION FOR THE CITY OR FOR THE APPLICANT? I HAVE FOR BOTH.

OKAY. ALSO FOR THE DEVELOPER.

YEAH. ONE OF MY FIRST QUESTION IS ABOUT THE RESTAURANT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE WANT SOME REALLY NICE RESTAURANT HERE.

HAVE YOU SHOPPED AROUND, START SHOPPING FOR POTENTIAL LEASERS FOR YOUR RESTAURANT SPACES YET? WE HAVE. OKAY, AND YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY ANY? IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO SAY.

I WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO SAY.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS, IT'S ALL VERY CONFIDENTIAL WITH COMPETITORS AND CONVERSATIONS, AND WE ARE HELD THROUGH AGREEMENTS TO NON-DISCLOSURES. I'VE WORKED ON A LOT OF PROJECTS OF THIS NATURE AND EVERY ALL THE PUBLICLY EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW, AND UNFORTUNATELY UNTIL A LEASE IS SIGNED, WE JUST CAN'T BROADCAST THAT.

YEAH. OKAY.

I HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS.

PLEASE WE'RE LISTENING; OUR TEAM IS HERE.

[CHUCKLING] WE WANT SOME REALLY NICE RESTAURANTS THERE.

SO I ALREADY MADE A LITTLE LIST.

ALL RIGHT. YOU SAID THAT YOU HAD DEVELOPED SOME AREA IN WEST PALM.

WE HAVE DONE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN, YES, IN PALM BEACH COUNT, AND IN BROWARD COUNTY.

[02:15:07]

I JUST WONDERED IN WEST PALM WHERE WHERE DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? SO IT'S NOT ACTUALLY WEST PALM BEACH.

THE PALM BEACH DEVELOPMENT THAT WE HAVE IS OFF OF BOUTWELL ROAD, WHICH IS JUST WEST OF I-95 IN LAKE WORTH BEACH.

OH, OKAY.

FOR THE CITY, THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, MR. JOHNSON THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY NOW IT'S JUST LIMITED TO SIX STORIES OR? YEAH. WELL, THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE PROPERTY, THE MOOG ALLOWS FOR A A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 70FT, AND THE CODE DEFINES MAXIMUM HEIGHT AS TO THE TOP OF THE PARAPET.

IT ALLOWS STAIRWELLS AND ELEVATOR HOUSINGS TO EXTEND TEN FEET ABOVE THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT.

SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR TEN FEET MORE THAN WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWED IN THE DISTRICT THROUGH THE PD AGREEMENT.

THEY'RE SAYING THEY'RE ALLOWED A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 87'3" TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRWELL.

OKAY, AND ONE FINAL QUESTION.

THE DENSITY, ARE WE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WHERE WE ARE NOW AND WHAT WE NEED FOR OUR CITY, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WAS DONE YEARS AGO AND NOT MADE ANY CHANGES? WELL, WHEN WE ESTABLISHED THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER DESIGNATION, BROWARD COUNTY ALLOCATED TO US A NUMBER OF UNITS TO ALLOCATE WITHIN OUR LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER FOR RESIDENTIAL, AND SO THEY ALLOCATED TO US GARDEN APARTMENTS AND MID-RISE APARTMENTS AND TOWNHOMES, AND SO WE HAVE PLENTY OF MID-RISE.

WE HAVE LIKE 800 MID-RISE APARTMENTS AVAILABLE AND THEY'RE REQUESTING 278 OF THEM.

SO THERE'S PLENTY OF DENSITY AVAILABLE TO ALLOCATE TO THIS DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTER, AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE THEM FOR.

WE HAVE THEM FOR THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ABSOLUTELY.

OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE ON THE BOARD? NO. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR TIME.

I LIKE THE PROJECT.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMING TO TAMARAC BUT I LIKE WHAT THE DIRECTION CITY IS GOING IN, AND WITH THAT SAID, I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NINE.

LET ME MAKE SURE I'M SAYING THE RIGHT ITEM HERE.

ITEM NINE E, WHICH IS A TEMPORARY ORDER 2555.

WE WILL BE AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC, REFERENCED IN SECTION 2-1.2.

I'M SORRY, 10-2.1 OF CHAPTER TEN OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.

CODE OF ORDINANCE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3.1 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 7351 FOR THE MIXED USE GENERAL, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. VIOLA SECONDED FIRST.

MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION PASSED 4 TO 0.

SO, THE LAST ITEM IS TEMPORARY RESOLUTION.

ONE RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA GRANTING SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR WITH CONDITIONS FOR ADVANTIS TAMARAC TO ALLOW FOR THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.

WITH A DENSITY OF 68.3 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION WITH CONDITIONS OUTLINED BY STAFF.

PASS 4 TO 0.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND WELCOME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. VERY EXCITED.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

CONTINUE.

[02:20:20]

IT'S OKAY. WELL HANG AROUND.

WE'LL SEE YOU AFTER.

CONGRATULATIONS. ARE THERE ANY REPORTS FROM THE PLANNING BOARD? ANYONE WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT? DECLARATION? SHARE ANYTHING TODAY? DOES ANYONE WANT TO MAKE A REPORT? DECLARATION? STATEMENT? NOPE? WE'RE ALL SET.

ALL RIGHT. MADAM DIRECTOR, MADAM CALLOWAY.

[11. Director's Report]

I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR YOU.

LET ME JUST PULL UP THESE MEETING DATES REAL QUICK.

MY COMPUTER OPEN, BUT JUST A REPORT ON THE LAST MEETING THAT THIS BOARD CONVENED AND CONSIDERED A FEW ITEMS. JUST WANT TO REPORT ON THE OUTCOME AT THE CITY COMMISSION.

SO YOU CONSIDERED THE EXTENDED STAY HOTEL THAT WENT TO THE CITY COMMISSION? THAT WAS AND THAT WAS CREATING THAT DESIGNATION.

IF YOU RECALL, FOR THE EXTENDED STAY HOTEL IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, THE CITY COMMISSION DID NOT APPROVE THAT.

SO THAT FAILED AT THE CITY COMMISSION.

THE SECOND ITEM WAS WHICH ONE WAS THAT? THIS IS AMENDING CHAPTER TEN, SECTION 10.3, THE TABLE OF ALLOWED USES TO ALLOW FOR AN EXTENDED STAY HOTEL DESIGNATION.

IN THE WOODMONT? WELL, IT WOULD ULTIMATELY AT SOME POINT BENEFIT THE WOODMONT, BUT AS YOU RECALL, THE DISCUSSION WAS JUST TO AMEND THE DEFINITION IN THE CODE.

SO THAT WAS NOT APPROVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION.

THE SECOND ITEM WAS THE RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY CHURCH IN THE BP ZONING DISTRICT.

AS YOU RECALL, THIS BOARD VOTED FIVE ZERO NOT TO ALLOW THAT DESIGNATION TO BE CREATED IN THE CODE, AND THE CITY COMMISSION VOTED IN FAVOR OF ALLOWING THE DESIGNATION TO BE CREATED IN THE CODE AND TO ALLOW SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT CHURCH TO EXIST IN THE BUSINESS PARK ZONING DESIGNATION. AS IT RELATES TO OUR DISTRICT MEETINGS, I JUST WANT TO INVITE ALL OF YOU, IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY RECEIVED YOUR POSTCARD, DEPENDING ON WHAT DISTRICT YOU LIVE IN, THE CITY IS RESTARTED OR DISTRICT MEETINGS.

I THINK THE LAST TIME WE HAD THEM WAS IN 2019, AND THIS YEAR, FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MAY, WE'LL BE GOING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND FOR DISTRICT MEETINGS.

THE FIRST ONE TO BE HELD TONIGHT AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THAT'S DISTRICT TWO.

DISTRICT THREE WILL BE MONDAY, MAY 13TH.

DISTRICT ONE WILL BE WEDNESDAY, MAY 22ND, AND DISTRICT FOUR WILL BE THURSDAY, MAY 30TH.

SO I'M INVITING YOU TO ATTEND ANY YOU CAN ATTEND ALL FOUR, BUT YOU CAN ATTEND ANY OF THE FOUR JUST NAMED IN YOUR DISTRICT OR IN ANOTHER DISTRICT, AND THAT'S WHEN CITY STAFF WILL GO THROUGH PROJECTS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THAT DISTRICT, AND JUST PERTINENT INFORMATION THAT WE BELIEVE THE DISTRICT SHOULD HEAR ABOUT, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE WILL BE DISCUSSING THE CITY'S FUTURE AND THE VISION OF THE CITY GOING FORWARD.

SO WE I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO ATTEND.

THANK YOU.

I'LL BE THERE TONIGHT.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHTY, THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME.

THANKS. NO QUESTIONS TODAY.

ALRIGHTY, IT IS NOW 11:34 AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
