THAT'S A LOT. NOW WE'LL HEAR FROM THE STAFF. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

FOR THE RECORD, ANN JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF BACKGROUND ON THIS ITEM BEFORE THE CITY CONSULTANT ACTUALLY PRESENTS THE ITEM.

SO THE ITEM, AS IN THE TITLE ORDINANCE 2630 IS PERTAINING TO THE CITY'S WATER SUPPLY AMENDMENT.

THIS IS A STATUTORY REQUIRED CHANGE. SO CITIES, LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES THROUGHOUT FLORIDA ARE REQUIRED TO UPDATE THIS ELEMENT OF THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVERY FIVE YEARS. THE CITY'S CONSULTANT CHA WILL BE GIVING THE PRESENTATION, MYSELF AND ALSO THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES, EARL HENRY.

WE WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

ADDITIONALLY, I JUST WANTED TO INFORM YOU THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF LEGISLATIVE CHANGES.

IT'S BEEN A DYNAMIC LEGISLATIVE SESSION THIS PAST YEAR.

SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A NUMBER OF TEXT AMENDMENTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED TO THE CITY'S CODE RESULTING FROM THOSE STATUTORY CHANGES. AND THEN YOU'LL ALSO SEE OUR COMP PLAN.

AGAIN, YOU'VE PREVIOUSLY SEEN IT, BUT YOU'LL SEE IT AGAIN AS WE ARE TRYING TO MAIN COMPLIANT WITH STATE REQUIREMENTS.

SO AT THIS TIME, THE CITY'S CONSULTANT CHA WILL PROCEED WITH THE WATER SUPPLY AMENDMENT PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT INTRODUCTION.

GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING BOARD, CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY STAFF.

LET ME FIX THIS. SORRY. SO AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, WE ARE THE CITY'S ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS TO PROVIDE THIS PRESENTATION TO YOU ALL REGARDING THE WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN.

IT IS A MOUTHFUL. MOUTHFUL. SO WE'RE HERE TO PRESENT THAT TO YOU ALL TODAY.

IF WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE WITH MY CLICKER.

THERE WE ARE. SO HERE'S A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE WILL BE PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY.

EACH SLIDE REPRESENTS THE SECTION OF THE PRESENTATION THAT WE WILL BE GOING THROUGH.

NOW FOR INTRODUCTIONS. MY NAME IS STEPHANIE BORTZ.

I'M WITH CHA CONSULTING, INC. I'M A PROJECT MANAGER.

WE HAVE DOUG HAMMANN, WHO IS OUR SENIOR PRINCIPAL ENGINEER, PRESENT WITH US HERE IN THE AUDIENCE, WHO WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE TO TAKE QUESTIONS SHOULD THERE BE ANY COMMENTS AFTER THE PRESENTATION.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHO CHA IS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS ECKLER ENGINEERING.

HOWEVER, CHA ACQUIRED ECKLER ENGINEERING BACK IN 2023.

SO NOW WE ARE PART OF A NATIONAL COMPANY THAT HAS SEVEN OFFICE LOCATIONS IN FLORIDA.

OVER 150 EMPLOYEES IN SOUTH FLORIDA SPECIFICALLY.

WE HAVE OVER 60 PLUS CONTINUING CONTRACTS IN FLORIDA WITH OVER 73 YEARS COLLECTIVELY IN BUSINESS.

SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US AND WHO WE ARE.

SO THE PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND OF WHAT WE ARE HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMP PLAN, WHICH IS YOUR WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN.

SO WHAT IS THIS WORK PLAN? AND I WILL REFERENCE IN THIS PRESENTATION WORK PLAN MOVING FORWARD.

[00:10:03]

SO THIS IS A PLANNING DOCUMENT FOR THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

THIS WILL LOOK AT THE NEEDS OF THE CITY AND ITS IMPACT TO ITS REGIONAL RESOURCES HERE IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH FLORIDA.

AND THIS IS A PLANNING DOCUMENT BASED ON A TEN YEAR PLANNING PERIOD.

NOW, THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORK PLAN, OF COURSE, IS SO THAT IT IS INCORPORATED OR REFERENCED IN YOUR COMP PLAN.

YOUR OVERALL COMP PLAN FOR THE CITY OF TAMARAC, AND IT ENSURES CONSISTENCY REGARDING THE FOLLOWING TOPICS FOR FUTURE LAND USE, YOUR UTILITY SERVICE AREAS, YOUR SUPPLY PLANS, AND YOUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS AND THE DEMAND OF YOUR CITY. WE NOW HAVE THE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY.

NOW WHY IS THIS DONE? AS STATED, THIS IS A STATUTORY STATUTORY REQUIREMENT IN ORDER TO ADOPT A COMP PLAN, BUT NOT ONLY JUST A COMP PLAN BUT A WORK PLAN FACILITY, A WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN IN YOUR COMP PLAN IT'S ALSO A REQUIREMENT BY THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, WHO IS THE PERMITTING AGENCY IN CHARGE OF YOUR WATER SUPPLY.

AND THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF THEIR REGIONAL PLANNING DOCUMENT, LOWER EAST COAST PLANNING DOCUMENT, WHICH IS BASICALLY A PLANNING DOCUMENT AT A 3000 LEVEL VIEW OF THE DISTRICT, AND WE ARE NOW TAKING IT TO THE CITY OF TAMARAC LIMITS, AS WELL AS AN EXTENSION TO YOUR EXISTING WATER USE PERMIT THROUGH THE DISTRICT AND THE PERMIT NUMBER THERE IS YOUR EXISTING PERMIT INFORMATION. NOW AS DESCRIBED IN THE DISTRICT SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION THIS PLAN MUST ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE POTABLE WATER FACILITIES ARE CONSTRUCTED AND CONCURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO MEET DEMANDS OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

SO THAT IS THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS PLANNING DOCUMENTATION.

NOW, JUST TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE SUBMISSION SUMMARY OF OF WHAT WORK TO DATE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL DRAFT SUBMISSIONS WORKING WITH CITY STAFF FROM THE UTILITIES AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT IN ORDER TO PUT THIS DOCUMENT TOGETHER.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2025. AND AS YOU COULD SEE FROM THE SCHEDULE AND THE MILESTONES THAT WE'VE HIT, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH YOUR STAFF IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE HERE TODAY TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR PROPOSED WORK PLAN.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE FUN STUFF, THE DATA OVERVIEW AND PERMITTED WATER ALLOCATION.

SO A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF YOUR WATER SERVICE AREAS WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

AS A REMINDER, YOU HAVE THREE WATER UTILITIES PROVIDING SERVICE TO YOUR COMMUNITY, EACH SHADED IN THAT DIAGRAM RESPECTIVELY.

THE TAMARAC WATER, MR. EARL HENRY'S DEPARTMENT, IS PROVIDING SERVICE TO THE AREAS DASHED AS SHOWN IN THAT DIAGRAM.

YOU HAVE THE BROWARD COUNTY WATER UTILITY PROVIDING SERVICE TO THE BLUE SHADED AREAS AND WITHIN YOUR CITY LIMIT.

AND YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR FORT LAUDERDALE WATER UTILITY, PROVIDING A SERVICE TO YOUR TAMARAC UTILITY EAST LOCATION.

NOW, THERE IS AN ASTERISK THERE ON THAT DIAGRAM, JUST TO MAKE NOTE OF EXISTING PLANNING AND DESIGN EFFORTS TO PROVIDE THE CITY WITH ENGINEERING PLANS TO EXTEND YOUR EXISTING UTILITY TO THE EAST SIDE OF YOUR CITY AS PART OF THE EAST SIDE DISTRIBUTION EXPANSION PROJECT. NOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS STEP BY STEP.

WE'RE GOING TO WORK OUR WAY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OF THE TABLE.

SO LET ME JUST GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT THIS TABLE IS MEANT TO PROVIDE.

THIS IS A DISTRICT TEMPLATE THAT WE PROVIDE THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO BASICALLY PROVIDE A PROJECTED OVERVIEW OF YOUR DEMAND NEEDED FOR THIS CITY IN TERMS OF YOUR FINISHED WATER, AS WELL AS YOUR RAW WATER SOURCE.

SO FROM THE LEFT YOU HAVE YOUR GENERAL INFORMATION, YOUR PLANNING YEARS IN A FIVE YEAR PERIOD.

YOU HAVE YOUR POPULATION PROJECTIONS. THEN YOU HAVE YOUR COLUMNS OF FINISHED WATER DATA, YOUR RAW WATER DATA.

AND TO THE RIGHT IS BASICALLY TO DEPICT YOUR SURPLUS OR DEFICIT, DEPENDING ON IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR TREATMENT CAPACITY OR YOUR AVERAGE DAY ALLOCATION OF WHAT YOU ARE PERMITTED TO REMOVE FROM YOUR SURFICIAL AQUIFER SOURCE,

[00:15:10]

SO WE'LL WORK IT OUT NOW JUST TO GET THROUGH THE NUMBERS.

SO THE POPULATION WAS PROVIDED BY YOUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT SO THAT IT'S COHESIVE WITH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO ALL THE NUMBERS WILL MATCH AS PART OF YOUR POPULATION PROJECTION.

NOW YOU'RE FINISHED WATER. IN ORDER TO PROJECT YOUR FINISHED WATER DEMANDS, YOU NEED TO SET A VALUE PER CAPITA OF HOW MUCH A SINGLE PERSON IS PROJECTED TO CONSUME OR DEMAND. SO AS PART OF THIS COMP PLAN WORK PLAN, YOU WILL HAVE IN YOUR ORDINANCE THAT A 105 GALLONS PER CAPITA PER DAY. SO 105 GALLONS PER PERSON IS WHAT WE ARE PLANNING ON MOVING FORWARD FOR YOUR PLANNING PROJECTIONS.

SO THEN WE MOVE ON TO THE MAX AVERAGE DAY RATIO.

WHAT IS THAT? THAT'S BASICALLY A VALUE THAT ALLOWS YOUR PLANNING TO UNDERSTAND, OKAY, WE HAVE AN AVERAGE DEMAND, BUT WHAT'S THE WORST CASE? WHAT WOULD BE OUR MAX VALUE DEMAND.

SO WHAT WE DID IS WE LOOKED AT YOUR MONTHLY OPERATING REPORTS FROM 2024 TO 2020.

SO A FOUR YEAR PERIOD. AND WE FOUND WHAT THE MAXIMUM RATIO WAS BETWEEN YOUR MAX AND AVERAGE DEMAND OF FINISHED WATER.

SO WE PLAN FOR THE WORST. SO THAT MAXIMUM RATIO THAT WE FOUND IS THAT 1.23.

SO ULTIMATELY THOSE ARE YOUR TWO SOURCES OF VALUES, YOUR CONTROLLING VALUES TO DETERMINE WHAT YOUR AVERAGE DAY MAX DAY DEMAND IS FOR FINISHED WATER. SO YOU HAVE YOUR AVERAGE DAY MULTIPLIED IN ORDER TO GET THAT AVERAGE DAY VALUE.

YOU HAVE YOUR POPULATION MULTIPLIED BY YOUR RATE BY THE LEVEL OF SERVICE.

AND THAT'S HOW YOU GET THOSE VALUES. YOU MOVE ON TO MAX DAY AVERAGE DAY TIMES YOUR RATIO GETS YOU THOSE VALUES.

THEN YOUR AVERAGE MONTH IS THAT CONVERSION FROM DATA MONTH.

SO THAT'S THE CONSISTENCY OR JUST A BRIEF EXPLANATION AS TO HOW THESE VALUES ARE PROVIDED.

AND THE SAME WILL APPLY TO YOUR RAW WATER SOURCE.

SO NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LAST TWO COLUMNS.

THE. THE LAST TWO COLUMNS PROVIDE THE CITY WITH INFORMATION FOR FUTURE PLANNING.

IF YOU HAVE A SURPLUS OR A DEFICIT AS IT RELATES TO YOUR TREATMENT CAPACITY AS WELL AS YOUR RAW WATER SOURCE ALLOCATION.

FOR YOUR TREATMENT CAPACITY, YOUR CURRENT WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS PERMITTED TO TREAT UP TO 20 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY.

SO THE COLUMN IN YELLOW INDICATES THAT THERE IS A SURPLUS OF TREATMENT CAPACITY AS IT RELATES TO YOUR MAX DAY DEMAND.

SO YELLOW, YELLOW. YOU HAVE YOUR PLANT PERMITTED CAPACITY OF 20 MGD MINUS YOUR MAX DAY DEMAND.

SO 20 - 9.53 WOULD GIVE YOU THE 10.47 SURPLUS OF TREATMENT CAPACITY.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE GREEN COLUMNS FOR YOUR AVERAGE DAY ALLOCATION.

THE CITY OF TAMARAC HAS A PERMITTED ALLOCATION TOTAL ANNUAL ALLOCATION BY THE DISTRICT TO REMOVE 8.47 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY ON AN ANNUAL AVERAGE. SO NOW WE NEED TO REVIEW IF THERE'S A SURPLUS OR DEFICIT AS FROM YOUR RAW WATER SOURCE.

NOW WE ARE PROJECTING BASED OFF OF THE VALUES THAT WE WENT THROUGH, THAT THERE WILL BE A DEFICIT APPROACHING 2035 OF YOUR RAW WATER SOURCE BASED OFF OF THE POPULATION PROJECTION, AS WELL AS THE LEVEL OF SERVICE PLANNING VALUE PER CAPITA THAT WE WENT THROUGH. SO WHAT I WANT TO POINT OUT IN THIS NEXT SLIDE, AND I'LL GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE IF NEEDED.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE HISTORICAL DATA. AND THE HISTORICAL DATA WILL SHOW THAT FROM 2020 TO 2024 YOU'RE FINISHED TO RAW WATER ACTUAL DEMAND HAS NOT EXCEEDED, IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FINISHED WATER GRAPH, IT HAS NOT EXCEEDED 95 GALLONS PER CAPITA, AND YOUR RAW WATER HAS NOT EXCEEDED 87 GALLONS PER CAPITA.

BUT WE'RE PLANNING WE'RE USING PLANNING VALUES OF 105 AND 108 FOR THAT CONSERVATIVE NUMBER.

THAT WILL ALLOW A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE FOR YOUR FUTURE PLANNING GROWTH AND YOUR INFILTRATION.

SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THAT COMPARISON WHERE IF WE GO TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE YOU'RE PLANNING, CONSERVATIVE VALUES WILL SHOW THAT DEFICIT FOR YOUR RAW WATER.

HOWEVER, HISTORICALLY, THE CITY'S EFFORTS AND CONSERVATION HAS SHOWN HISTORICALLY THAT YOUR CONSUMERS ARE ACTUALLY HAVE

[00:20:09]

NOW WE MOVE ON TO ANOTHER GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF WHAT WAS JUST DESCRIBED.

THE FIGURE SHOWN HERE IS JUST TO SHOW THE DEMAND EXCEEDANCE OF YOUR PERMITTED ALLOCATION, AS I HAVE DESCRIBED.

NOW, WHAT MEASURES CAN THE CITY TAKE BEFORE 2030 TO OFFSET THAT DEFICIT? THERE'S A FEW POINTS THAT WE POINT OUT IN THE WATER PLAN FOR THE CITY'S CONSIDERATION.

ONE OF THEM BEING REQUESTING A MODIFICATION TO INCREASE YOUR PERMANENT ALLOCATION WITH THE PERMITTING AGENCY.

THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. POSSIBLY USING ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLIES LIKE THE FLORIDIAN AQUIFER, FOR EXAMPLE. AND REDUCING THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND PROJECTED POPULATION GROWTH.

AND REDUCING DEMAND THROUGH OTHER CONSERVATION EFFORTS.

NOW FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INCORPORATION, AS MY LAST SECTION OF THIS PRESENTATION IS BASICALLY TO WRAP UP, THAT THE WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES PLAN IS ALIGNED WITH THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTATION WE'VE WORKED AGAIN DILIGENTLY WITH YOUR CITY STAFF, WHO HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN THIS PROCESS AND HAS WORKED GREAT WITH OUR TEAM IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT IT CONFORMS WITH THE COMP PLAN, YOUR WATER DEMAND PROJECTIONS, YOUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PLANNING, AS WELL AS YOUR APPLICABLE REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY PLAN.

SO FOLLOWING THE CITY ADOPTION, THIS WORK PLAN, AS I SUMMARIZED IN THIS PRESENTATION, WILL BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE CITY AND WILL GO THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE COMP PLAN FOR FURTHER REVIEW OF OTHER AGENCIES.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL OPEN THE FLOOR UP FOR ANY Q AND A AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU, BEFORE WE HAVE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD, WE'LL OPEN THE FLOOR TO THE PUBLIC TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT HAS QUESTIONS. THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN AT 9:26. IS THERE ANYONE THAT HAS ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHTY, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ONE. SO WE'LL NOW CLOSE THE FLOOR AT 9:26.

BOARD. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS BORTZ? I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. WITH THE PROJECTIONS, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE PROJECTING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DEFICIT, I THINK IT WAS NEAR 2030. YES, I'LL GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE.

OF 0.6, 0.6. 2030 COMING UP IN 2030. 2035. EXCUSE ME.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MATTERS, BUT AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE EVEN KNOW JUST YET.

ALL THIS TALK ABOUT AI AND POTENTIALLY COMING TO VARIOUS AREAS, I DON'T KNOW IF OUR AREA HAS ANY PROJECTION FOR HAVING AN AI DATA, A DATA CENTER. IF WE WERE TO HAVE THAT, HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT OUR WATER TABLES AND OUR WATER SUPPLY IN 2035? HAVE WE LOOKED AT THAT? HAVE WE CONSIDERED IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT WERE TO COME TO OUR AREA, WOULD IT AFFECT OUR WATER SUPPLY? I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE'S A PHYSICAL RELATION.

SO I WOULD PROBABLY REFER THAT OVER TO YOUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE THE POPULATIONS THAT WE'RE USING FOR THIS SUPPLY PLAN IS FOR WHATEVER FUTURE PROJECTED GROWTH THAT YOU MAY HAVE IN THE CITY.

SO WHETHER IT'S INCLUDED CURRENTLY, THAT WOULD BE A DISCUSSION WITH YOUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

BUT IF YOUR POPULATION WERE TO IF YOUR POPULATION PROJECTIONS WERE TO INCREASE, THAT WILL THE MATH WILL START, YOU KNOW, GOING UP BECAUSE IT ALL IT ALL CORRELATES, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH IS YOUR POPULATION, HOW MUCH DOES PER PERSON NEED. AND IF THAT GOES UP, YOUR OVERALL DEMAND WILL ALSO GO UP.

GOT IT. YEAH, I KNOW THAT WE. ACCORDING TO OUR CURRENT TRENDS, WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY DEFICITS.

AND WE MORE THAN LIKELY WON'T HAVE ANY DEFICITS ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU'VE SHOWED US. BUT THE PROJECTION SHOWS THAT THERE COULD BE A DEFICIT OF 0.6, 0.06 IN 2035. ARE WE DOING ANYTHING OR PREPARING TO DO ANYTHING TO COMBAT THAT, OR WHAT IS THE PLAN? WELL, I'LL REFER THAT TO THE DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES SO THAT HE MAY SPEAK ON THAT ITEM.

BUT AS I WANTED, YOU KNOW, THE PURPOSE OF SLIDE 15 BEFORE EARL COMES TO THE PODIUM, WE WANTED TO SHOW THE BOARD WHAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN SEEN. YOU KNOW, YOUR CITY'S BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB ON WATER CONSERVATION EFFORTS AS WELL AS JUST BEING MINDFUL, RIGHT, THAT WHEN YOU TURN THAT TAP, IT'S LIQUID GOLD.

SO CONSERVATIVELY, YOU MUST PLAN FOR WORST CASE SCENARIO, BUT HISTORICALLY YOU DO HAVE A POSITIVE TREND, A POSITIVE NOTE ON THAT TREND. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF EARL WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK MORE ON THAT.

[00:25:05]

SO IF MY QUESTIONS ARE NOT RELATIVE TO THE CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL CHANGE CONVERSATION.

SO GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. EARL HENRY. I'M THE INTERIM DIRECTOR FOR PUBLIC SERVICES.

SO WHAT THE CITY HAS BEEN DOING, WE RECENTLY, WE HAVE A META PROJECT THAT WE ARE PRETTY MUCH WRAPPING UP RIGHT NOW. THAT PROJECT WILL INTRODUCE AMI METERS, WHICH WILL GIVE A BETTER REFLECTION OF WHAT IS BEING USED.

AND WE'RE GOING TO UTILIZE THAT TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC.

THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC PORTION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE USING TO INVOLVE THE PUBLIC.

THEY WILL SEE THEIR USAGE AT A REAL TIME LEVEL.

AND YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE HOPING TO IMPLEMENT MORE CONSERVATIVE MEASURES.

SO THAT'S PART OF OUR PLAN. YOU KNOW, LIKE. YOU KNOW, SHE JUST MENTIONED HISTORICALLY, WE HAVEN'T REACHED THOSE NUMBERS. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS REALLY A PLANNING NUMBER THAT IS REALLY CONSERVATIVE. SO JUST BEAR THAT IN MIND.

WE DON'T THINK IT WILL REACH THAT, THAT POINT.

HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, FOR PLANNING PURPOSES, WE, WE USUALLY JUST USE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO.

SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK, I THINK WE SHOULD BE IN GOOD STEAD, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE DOING OTHER MEASURES.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF WORST CASE COMES AROUND AND WE NEED TO GO TO SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT AND, YOU KNOW, REQUEST AN INCREASE IN THE WITHDRAWAL PERMIT, THEN WE WILL DO THAT.

OKAY, THAT GIVES BETTER UNDERSTANDING. SO YOU'RE ABLE TO REQUEST MORE WATER IF NEED BE.

YES. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THAT MAKES MORE SENSE.

IT RESONATES DIFFERENTLY. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? I HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I THINK YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB.

YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW, AT LEAST YOU KNOW THE DATA SHOWING WHAT PROJECTING.

AND THEN WHAT'S THE BACKUP PLAN IN CASE IF YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE TO GO THAT ROUTE.

SO I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU.

OF COURSE. THANK YOU, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE FORWARD. I'D LIKE TO ASK FOR A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ITEM AS PRESENTED.

YES. DO YOU WANT TO RECOMMEND WE MOVE FORWARD WITH.

YES, I RECOMMEND THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MOTION THAT WAS PRESENTED.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND IT. SO MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD BY ATHERLEY AND THEN SECOND BY JACQUES MOISE.

JUDY HUNTER? YES. ATHERLEY SOMAN? YES. JACQUES MOISE? YES. NIKOLE CLEARE? YES. MOTION TO MAKE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION PASSED 4 TO 0.

ALRIGHTY, THE NEXT ITEM IS THE QUASI JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 9.A, TEMPORARY BOARD ORDER 104.

[9.a TBO104 - Order granting/denying Special Exception application for Duwbu Ballroom & Lounge, located at 23104-3108 West Commercial Boulevard, Tamarac, FL 33309 to allow for the use of a modified tenant space within a commercial retail plaza, for a proposed hall for hire or "banquet hall" in the MU-C (Mixed-Use Corridor) zoning district, pursuant to the City of Tamarac Code of Ordinances. ]

WE'LL FIRST HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT. NO APPLICANT.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CONTINUE WITH THE STAFF. CHRISTIAN.

GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS.

FOR THE RECORD, I'M CHRISTIAN WATERVAL, PLANNER FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

THE APPLICANT OF DUWBU BALLROOM AND LOUNGE IS MISSING A FEW ITEMS IN ORDER FOR THE ITEM TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS MEETING.

THEREFORE, SHE AND CITY STAFF REQUEST TO CONTINUE THE ITEM.

THE ITEM WILL BE CONTINUED TO THE AUGUST 5TH PLANNING BOARD AND THE AUGUST 26TH CITY COMMISSION MEETING.

THANK YOU, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 9.B, TEMPORARY RESOLUTION 14410.

[9.b TR14410 -A resolution of the city commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, granting site plan approval (major) with conditions to allow for the redevelopment of the subject property, legally described in Exhibit "A", to permit the demolition of an existing one-story 19,983 square foot professional school building and the construction of a new 84,245 square foot industrial warehouse building located on the east side of N Hiatus Road, North of W Commercial Boulevard, shown in Exhibit "B" at 5600 N Hiatus Road (Case No. 8-SP-25); providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. ]

[00:30:08]

CASE NUMBER 8-SP-25. PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS.

PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY. AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WE'LL FIRST HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT. GOOD MORNING, BOARD MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS MALCOLM BUTTERS WITH BUTTERS CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT.

I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY. WE'RE HERE FOR A SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR APPROXIMATELY 84,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING.

FIRST SLIDE YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION. IT'S JUST NORTH OF COMMERCIAL ON HIATUS.

IT'S CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY THE GOLD COAST REAL ESTATE SCHOOL.

WE DEVELOPED THAT BUILDING ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO.

GOLD COAST TAUGHT ONLINE REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION LICENSES.

SUBSEQUENTLY, WITH COVID AND OTHER TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, A LOT OF THE LEARNING HAS GONE ONLINE.

SO THEY HAVE DECIDED TO VACATE THE BUILDING AND THE OWNERS ARE SELLING IT.

SO WE PUT THE BUILDING UNDER CONTRACT AND WE'RE PROPOSING TO BUILD A NEW BUILDING ON TOP OF IT, A NEW INDUSTRIAL BUILDING. AND JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OVER 35 YEARS IN THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY.

WE'VE DEVELOPED ABOUT 1,300,000FT² IN THE AREA, MOSTLY IN THAT SAME SECTION.

SECTION SEVEN. WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE TENANTS LIKE AMAZON AND THE GOLD COAST SCHOOL AND THE SONNY'S CAR WASH PEOPLE.

AND OVER THE YEARS WE'VE HAD MAYORS, JEWELERS, AND PIERO KLEIN AND MANY OTHERS.

SO AGAIN, JUST IT'S MORE OF A GRAPHIC NOT TO ZONE IN, BUT THERE'S ABOUT 1,300,000FT².

YOU COULD SEE ALL THE BLUE DOTS OVER THE YEARS THERE'S ABOUT 16 BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE BUILT BETWEEN MY FAMILY.

AND HERE AGAIN IS THE CURRENT LOCATION. IT'S ON 5.5 ACRES ON 5600 HIATUS ROAD.

AGAIN, THE BUILDING IS A SMALL OFFICE BUILDING ON A RATHER LARGE LOT.

YOU COULD SEE ALL THE PARKING THAT THEY USED FOR THE SCHOOL WHEN IT WAS IN USE.

THE SURROUNDING AREA PREDOMINANTLY WAREHOUSE, INDUSTRIAL AND OFFICE.

MANY OF THOSE BUILDINGS WHICH WE BUILT. SO IT FITS IN NICELY.

WE'VE HAD MEETINGS ALSO WITH ALL OUR NEIGHBORS AND NO OBJECTIONS.

THE ZONING YOU WERE FORTUNATE, AND THANK YOU FOR APPROVING THE REZONING BP, BUSINESS PARK AND THE LAND USE GOT CHANGED TO INDUSTRIAL IN THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS. THE CURRENT SITE PLAN THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS ABOUT 84,245FT².

YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOT OF LANDSCAPING. WE PURPOSELY DESIGNED A BUILDING SO THAT THE FRONT, THE OFFICE PART WOULD FACE HIATUS ROAD. THE BACK LOADING AREA WOULD FACE THE LOADING AREA, WHERE THE CHURCH ALSO HAS A LOADING AREA AND IS THE REAR OF THEIR BUILDING.

SO NONE OF THE LOADING OR SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS THAT ARE NOT AS PRETTY WOULD FACE EITHER THE RETAIL OR THE OFFICE OR THE CHURCH.

LANDSCAPE PLAN AND A PRETTY EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

YOU COULD SEE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAS GONE THROUGH IT.

I THINK WE MEET ALL THE CODE. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY VARIANCES.

AND HERE'S THE INTERIOR LANDSCAPE AREAS AGAIN, A LOT OF GREEN AREA.

SOME OF THE ELEVATIONS MODERN. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE BUILDING THAT WE DID ON THE CORNER OF HIATUS AND COMMERCIAL, WHICH IS A 5601 HIATUS. IT'S JUST MUCH SMALLER BUT VERY SIMILAR IN DESIGN.

HERE'S A BETTER RENDERING. YOU COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO READ PROBABLY, AND TO APPRECIATE.

BUT AGAIN, CONTEMPORARY LOOKING A LOT OF WINDOWS, A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN THE BUILDING IN TERMS OF DESIGN ASPECTS.

[00:35:01]

SO YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME. AND I WANT TO THANK ROBERT JOHNSON FOR BEING VERY PATIENT AND WORKING WITH US.

AND ALSO MR. KENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION THIS MORNING? OKAY, AWESOME.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD MORNING. FOR THE RECORD, I AM ROB JOHNSON, SENIOR PLANNER FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

DENNIS MEELEY FOR GREENSPOON MARDER LLP, DESIGNATED AGENT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER.

THE GENESIS GROUP, LLC IS REQUESTING SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR TO ALLOW FOR THE DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING ONE STORY, 19,983 SQUARE FOOT PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL BUILDING AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW 84,245 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATION OF THE FORMER GOLD COAST SCHOOL, LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF NORTH HIATUS ROAD, NORTH OF WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AT 5600 NORTH HIATUS ROAD IN COMMISSION DISTRICT TWO, WHICH IS COMMISSIONER MOREY WRIGHT. THE PROPERTY IS 5.5 ACRES IN SIZE. IT HAS A CITY OF TAMARAC, FUTURE LAND USE, DESIGNATION OF INDUSTRIAL AND A CURRENT ZONING DESIGNATION OF BP BUSINESS PARK. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS PLATTED IN 1995 AS A PORTION OF THE WEST POINT SECTION SEVEN PLAT AND DEVELOPED IN 2004 AS A COMPONENT OF THE WEST POINT BUSINESS CENTER.

THE BUSINESS CENTER INCLUDES THREE ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES THE PARCEL AT 5850 NORTH HIATUS ROAD, LOCATED IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH CONTAINS A RETAILERS OFFICE.

THE PARCEL AT 5870 NORTH HIATUS ROAD, WHICH CONTAINS ANOTHER.

SONNY'S THE CAR WASH FACTORY BUILDING. THE WEST POINT.

THE WEST POINT RETAIL CENTER PROPERTY IS LOCATED IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY AND CONTAINS THE CARE SPOT, URGENT CARE, AND DUNKIN DONUTS. ON FEBRUARY 11TH, 2026, A PRE-APPLICATION NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WAS CONDUCTED BY THE APPLICANT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THREE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ATTENDED THE MEETING AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE PROPOSED TENANT, THE NUMBER OF ANTICIPATED TENANTS, AND THE NOTIFICATION OF FUTURE MEETINGS. ON APRIL 7TH, 2026, TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE FACILITY, THE CITY COMMISSION ADOPTED A SMALL SCALE LOCAL LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT, WHICH CHANGED THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM COMMERCIAL TO INDUSTRIAL, PURSUANT TO THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IT PERMITS THE INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATION FACILITY, RECREATION, COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND INDUSTRIAL LIMITED, COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL, BUSINESS AND MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION USES, WAREHOUSE, WHOLESALE FREIGHT MOVEMENT USES AND WASTE AND SALVAGE USES.

THUS, THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE FACILITY IS ALLOWED WITHIN THE INDUSTRIAL FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.

THE SMALL SCALE LOCAL LAND USE AMENDMENT QUALIFIED AS A LOCAL AMENDMENT THAT REQUIRED APPROVAL BY ONLY THE CITY AND WAS NOT SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY OTHER AGENCIES SUCH AS THE STATE. AS THE AMENDMENT INVOLVED FEWER THAN 50 ACRES DID NOT INVOLVE THE TEXT CHANGE TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WAS NOT LOCATED IN AN AREA OF STATE CONCERN. AND THERE WAS NO AND THEREFORE THERE WAS NO MAP AMENDMENT REQUIRED TO THE BROWARD COUNTY LAND USE MAP.

ADDITIONALLY, ON APRIL 7TH, 2026, THE CITY COMMISSION APPROVED A REZONING CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM MUC, MIXED USE CORRIDOR TO BUSINESS PARK, BP. THE BUSINESS PARK ZONING CLASSIFICATION ALLOWS FOR THE PROPOSED WAREHOUSE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE FACILITY, AS THE BP ZONING CLASSIFICATION IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE FOR A MIXTURE OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, OFFICE MANUFACTURING AND LIMITED RETAIL USES IN A BUSINESS PARK, INDUSTRIAL PARK OR CAMPUS SETTING WITH HIGH-QUALITY SITE AND BUILDING DESIGN.

SUBSEQUENTLY, ON MAY 6TH, 2026, TO ALLOW FOR THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING, THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ISSUED A LETTER OF NO OBJECTION FOR A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE EXISTING PLAT NOTE LANGUAGE ON THE WEST POINT SECTION SEVEN PLAT IN BROWARD COUNTY PLAT BOOK ADDING INDUSTRIAL USES ON

[00:40:04]

APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED PLAT AMENDMENT, ADDING 90,000FT² OF INDUSTRIAL USE ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DEMOLISH THE EXISTING ONE STORY PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL BUILDING AND CONSTRUCT THE NEW INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

A TOTAL BUILDING COVERAGE ROOFED AREA OF 35.7% IS PROPOSED, WHERE A MAXIMUM BUILDING COVERAGE ROOFED AREA OF 60% IS PERMITTED. AND A TOTAL IMPERVIOUS AREA OF 70% IS PROPOSED WHERE A MAXIMUM TOTAL IMPERVIOUS AREA OF 70% IS PERMITTED, SO THEY'RE JUST MEETING THEIR TOTAL IMPERVIOUS AREA.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL SHELL WAREHOUSE BUILDING.

EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM SETBACKS OF THE BP ZONING DISTRICT.

THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE A TWO-WAY INTERIOR DRIVE AROUND THE BUILDING, CONTAINING 89 PARKING SPACES.

THAT INCLUDES FOUR ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES WHERE 87 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED.

THE TWO WAY DRIVE IN THE REAR OF THE BUILDING IS PROVIDED TO SERVICE THE TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK LOADING AREA, CONTAINING A TOTAL OF 16 LOADING BAYS AND TWO LOADING RAMPS.

A DOUBLE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE CONTAINING TWO SIX YARD WASTE CONTAINERS AND RECYCLING CONTAINERS WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WILL BE SCREENED BY A SIX FOOT HIGH WALL PAINTED WHITE IN COLOR.

SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCKS. NO MAIN ACCESS. TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS PROVIDED BY THE INGRESS EGRESS POINT ON NORTH HIATUS ROAD, SHARED WITH THE REALTORS OFFICE PARCEL AT 5850 NORTH HIATUS ROAD, LOCATED IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. IT CAN ALSO BE ACCESSED FROM WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD THROUGH THE RETAIL WEST POINT RETAIL CENTER, WHICH IS LOCATED SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND FROM AND FROM STATE STREET THROUGH THE SONNY'S THE CAR WASH PARCEL AT 5870 NORTH HIATUS ROAD, LOCATED NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCKS COMING FROM THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY TO THE WEST AND THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE TO THE EAST WILL TURN NORTH ON NORTH HIATUS ROAD TO ACCESS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY BY UTILIZING THE MAIN INGRESS EGRESS ACCESS POINT ON NORTH HIATUS ROAD. THE TRUCKS WILL THEN LEAVE THE PROPERTY BY UTILIZING THE SAME INGRESS EGRESS ACCESS POINT ON NORTH HIATUS ROAD AND HEADING SOUTH TO WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY PREPARED BY DC ENGINEERS, INC.

WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT. THE TRIP GENERATION STATEMENT ESTIMATED THE NUMBER OF TRIPS GENERATED BY THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT USING TRIP GENERATION EQUATIONS FROM THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS TRIP GENERATION MANUAL, THE 12TH EDITION FOR DAILY A.M PEAK HOUR AND P.M PEAK HOUR CONDITIONS FOR THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING AND THE EXISTING PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL BUILDING.

THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE 116 DAILY VEHICLE TRIPS, WITH 22 VEHICLE TRIPS OCCURRING IN THE A.M PEAK, WITH 17 OF THOSE TRIPS BEING INBOUND AND FIVE OF THOSE TRIPS BEING OUTBOUND AND 29 VEHICLE TRIPS OCCURRING TO THE P.M PEAK HOUR, WITH EIGHT BEING INBOUND AND 21 BEING OUTBOUND.

THE EXISTING PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL BUILDING PRODUCES 690 VEHICLE TRIPS PER DAY, WITH 66 VEHICLE TRIPS OCCURRING DURING THE A.M PEAK, WITH 53 COMING IN AND 13 COMING OUT AND 66 VEHICLE TRIPS DURING THE P.M PEAK AS WELL, WITH 37 COMING IN AND 29 OUTBOUND.

BASED ON THE ANALYSIS WITHIN THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY, THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING IS EXPECTED TO REDUCE THE VEHICLE TRIPS PER DAY BY 574 TRIPS, WITH A REDUCTION OF 44 A.M. PEAK HOUR TRIPS AND 30 7 P.M.

PEAK HOUR TRIPS. THUS, THE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING WILL GENERATE LESS TRAFFIC THAN THE EXISTING PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL BUILDING.

THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY CONCLUDES THAT THE SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION OF WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND NORTH HIATUS ROAD CURRENTLY OPERATES AT A LEVEL SERVICE D AND LEVEL SERVICE E, RESPECTIVELY, UNDER EXISTING CONDITIONS. IT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AT OPERATING AT A LEVEL OF SERVICE D AND LEVEL OF SERVICE E, RESPECTIVELY, UNDER THE FUTURE BACKGROUND AND FUTURE TOTAL CONDITIONS.

THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY RECOMMENDS THAT THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM CONTACT BROWARD COUNTY TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION AFTER THE PROJECT IS BUILT AND OCCUPIED TO REQUEST, REVIEW AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE SIGNAL TIMING OF THE AREA WIDE TRAFFIC SIGNALS.

[00:45:01]

THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY WAS REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S TRAFFIC CONSULTANT, TRAF TECH.

THE REVIEW BY TRAF TECH STATES THE TRIP GENERATION OF ANALYSIS APPEARS TO ACCURATELY REFLECT THE PROPOSED USE.

29 P.M. PEAK HOUR TRIPS, EIGHT INBOUND AND 21 OUTBOUND.

THE TRIPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED USE ARE EXPECTED TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THOSE FROM THE PREVIOUS USE.

THE THEN FURTHER STATES THE EXISTING LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR THE INTERSECTION OF COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND HIATUS ROAD IS D IN THE A.M PEAK HOUR AND E IN THE.

E IN THE P.M PEAK HOUR. THIS CONDITION WILL REMAIN IN THE IN THE FUTURE BUILD OUT YEAR OF 2028 WITH THE PROJECT TRAFFIC.

NO DEGRADATION IN LEVEL OF SERVICE. THE ADDITIONAL VEHICLE DELAY ATTRIBUTED TO THIS PROJECT IS 1.1 SECONDS VEHICLE, 1.1 SECONDS PER VEHICLE AND THE A.M PEAK HOUR AND 1.8 SECONDS PER VEHICLE AND THE P.M PEAK HOUR.

THESE INCREASES ARE CONSIDERED DE MINIMIS. THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE AN OVERALL LANDSCAPE PERVIOUS AREA OF 30% ON THE PROPERTY.

THAT INCLUDES TURF PAVERS ALLOWED BY THE CITY CODE, WHERE A MAXIMUM, WHERE A MINIMUM LANDSCAPE PERVIOUS AREA OF 30% IS REQUIRED.

ALSO, AN INTERIOR LANDSCAPE AREA EQUAL TO 70% OF THE, 17% OF THE TOTAL VEHICLE USE AREA IS PROPOSED WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES THE DEVOTION OF AN INTERIOR LANDSCAPING AREA EQUAL TO 15% OF THE TOTAL VEHICULAR AREA.

250 TOTAL TREES THAT INCLUDE EXISTING AND ADJACENT TREES AND CONSISTING OF 39 PALM TREES, 183 SHADE TREES AND 27 SMALL TREES WILL BE PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY.

SHADE TREES WILL BE PLANTED IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING ADJACENT TO THE WALKWAY, AND THE CONCRETE CANOPIES WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING ABOVE THE WALKWAY TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SIDEWALK SHADING. ADDITIONALLY, 01,457 SHRUBS WILL BE PLANTED ON THE PROPERTY.

AND LASTLY, THE MAJORITY OF THE EXISTING SHADE TREES LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ADJACENT TO HIATUS ROAD, THOSE WILL REMAIN AND PROVIDE A GREAT BUFFER FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM THE TRAFFIC WAY.

A LANDSCAPED PEDESTRIAN ZONE IS REQUIRED ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF ALL BUILDING WALLS THAT ARE THE PRIMARY FRONTAGE, AS WELL AS BUILDING WALLS THAT FACE VEHICULAR USE AREA, EXCLUDING SECTIONS OF SUCH FACADE THAT ARE UTILIZED FOR DIRECT ACCESS INTO THE BUILDING OR THE PICKUP LOCATION. FOR THE DRIVE THRU, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED REDUCED LANDSCAPE PEDESTRIAN ZONE WIDTHS FOR THE LANDSCAPING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND IN PORTIONS OF THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ALLOWS THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THE ABILITY TO ADMINISTRATIVELY REDUCE THE WIDTH OF THE LANDSCAPED PEDESTRIAN ZONE AND INCREASE THE SIDEWALK WIDTH.

IT MUST BE DEMONSTRATED THAT REDUCED GREEN SPACE IS PROVIDED ELSEWHERE ON SITE, AND FUNCTIONS TO HELP SOFTEN THE MASS OF THE STRUCTURE.

THE REQUESTED ADMINISTRATIVE REDUCTION OF THE WIDTH OF THE LANDSCAPE PEDESTRIAN ZONE WAS APPROVED ON JUNE 16TH, 2026, WITH THE FINDING THAT A PERIMETER LANDSCAPE BUFFER OF TEN FEET IN WIDTH IS REQUIRED ALONG THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE, WHERE A MINIMUM PERIMETER LANDSCAPE BUFFER OF 15FT AND 7 AND 3/8 INCH IN WIDTH, AND A MAXIMUM PERIMETER BUFFER LANDSCAPE BUFFER OF 30FT AND 6 INCHES IN WIDTH IS PROVIDED ALONG THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE.

THE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING IS PROVIDED AT VARYING HEIGHTS. THAT INCLUDES A MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT OF 45FT THREE INCHES TO THE TOP OF THE PARAPET, WHERE A MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT IS 50FT IS PERMITTED AND FEATURES TILT UP CONCRETE WALLS PAINTED WHITE AND GRAY IN COLOR WITH A TEXTURED FINISH.

AND GRAY TINTED CLEAR STORY WINDOWS ABOVE THE OVERHEAD DOORS ARE PROPOSED IN THE REAR OF THE BUILDING AND THE TRAILER TRUCK LOADING AREA.

ADDITIONALLY, ALL ROOFTOP AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT WILL BE SCREENED BY THE PARAPET WALLS.

AN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE WAS CONDUCTED BY THE CITY'S ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT, CPC ARCHITECTS. IN AN EFFORT TO ENHANCE SUSTAINABILITY AND VISUAL APPEARANCE WITHIN THE CITY.

[00:50:03]

THE GENERAL BUILDING DESIGN STANDARDS INCLUDE FOUR SIDED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, SHADED SIDEWALKS, SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ARTICULATION, FACADE TRANSPARENCY AND PEDESTRIAN DESIGN, BUILDING ENTRANCE AND AMENITY REQUIREMENTS. THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IDENTIFIES THREE SITE PLAN APPROVAL STANDARDS TO BE DETERMINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR.

IT IS THE OPINION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT THE REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR MEETS EACH OF THE GENERAL REVIEW STANDARD CONCLUSIONS BASED ON FINDINGS OF FACT SUPPORTED BY COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL AND MATERIAL EVIDENCE.

THIS ITEM SUPPORTS GOAL NUMBER THREE OF THE CITY'S, CITY OF TAMARAC 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN.

TAMARAC IS ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT. THE APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR WILL FACILITATE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMER GOLD COAST SCHOOL PROPERTY AND DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE CITY'S STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE BY BEING BUSINESS FRIENDLY AND FOSTERING ECONOMIC GROWTH.

THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FOR A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN APPROVAL TO ALLOW FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING ONE STORY, 19,983 SQUARE FOOT PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL BUILDING AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW 84,240 FOOT SCHOOL INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDING TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS JULY 8TH, 2026 MEETING WITH THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

NUMBER ONE, THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR IS CONTINGENT UPON APPROVAL OF A PLAT NOTE AMENDMENT FOR THE WEST POINT SECTION SEVEN PLAT BY BY THE BROWARD COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO ADD INDUSTRIAL USE ON TRACK D-1 AND THE RECORDATION OF THE APPROVED PLAT NOTE AMENDMENT IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF BROWARD COUNTY.

NUMBER TWO, CONSTRUCTION IS TO BE IN COMPLETE COMPLIANCE WITH THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS SUBMITTED BY THE DEVELOPER TO THE CITY AND THE APPROVED ENGINEERING DRAWINGS.

SITE PLAN APPROVAL MAJOR SHALL BE VOIDED ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE OF APPROVAL, UNLESS A BUILDING PERMIT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ALL FACILITIES PROVIDED IN THE SITE PLAN AND CONSTRUCTION IS DILIGENTLY PURSUED.

THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER IS ASSIGNABLE, BUT ASSIGNMENT DOES NOT DISCHARGE ANY ASSIGNEE FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE ORDER UNLESS THE CITY COMMISSION CONSENTS TO MODIFY ANY OF THE ORIGINAL REQUIREMENTS. NUMBER FIVE, SATISFACTION OF ALL OUTSTANDING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE COMMENTS FROM THE REVIEW OF THE SITE PLAN.

APPROVAL MAJOR FOR COASTAL LOGISTICS, WHICH IS CASE NUMBER EIGHT SB 25.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE LAST RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL IS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO CONTACT BROWARD COUNTY TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIVISION AFTER THE PROJECT IS BUILT AND OCCUPIED TO REQUEST, REVIEW AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE TIMING SIGNAL OF THE AREA'S WIDE TRAFFIC SIGNALS.

AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION. AND WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU ROB. THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR ANY COMMENTS.

IT IS 9;57, DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WANTS TO MAKE A COMMENT? IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT WE DO. SO THE FLOOR IS NOW CLOSED AT 9:57.

BOARD DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS PROJECT? YEAH, QUICK QUESTION. SO THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT'S DONE BY THE CITY OR THE CONTRACTOR? IT WAS DONE BY THE DEVELOPER. AND THEN AND THEN THE CITY HAS A TRAFFIC CONSULTANT, WHICH WE USE TO REVIEW THAT STUDY.

OKAY, SO THE 22 PEAK HOUR. WELL, HOW MANY BAYS ARE GOING TO BE BUILT IN THIS SQUARE FOOTAGE? I BELIEVE THAT'S UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. WE CAN HAVE THE MALCOLM COME UP AND ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

SO THE BUILDING ITSELF IS DESIGNED ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO PROBABLY FOUR TENANTS.

YOU KNOW, THE BUILDING'S ABOUT 200FT DEEP. SO IT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DIVIDE IT UP INTO ROUGHLY 20,000FT², SQUARE FEET AND ABOVE. WHY WE CHOSE THIS BUILDING, YOU KNOW, THIS IS REALLY THE ONLY VACANT OR POTENTIALLY VACANT INDUSTRIAL PARCEL IN THE CITY. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD SUCH A LONG HISTORY IN THE CITY AND INDUSTRIAL IS SUCH A CRITICAL NEED TO CREATE A BALANCE, AND THE VACANCY FACTOR IN THE PARK IS PROBABLY LESS THAN 5%.

SO IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE EXISTING TENANTS LIKE PERICLEAN OR SONNY'S OR AMAZON OR WHOEVER TO STAY IN THE CITY AND EXPAND, YOU KNOW, WE NEED SOME INVENTORY.

SO WE THINK STRATEGICALLY, IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR THE CITY.

AND THE OFFICE BUILDING THAT'S THERE NOW. IT'S KIND OF SIMILAR TO LIKE THE CALL CENTER WHEN WE BOUGHT 5601 HIATUS,

[00:55:03]

THEN IT HAD THE IRS IN THERE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

SO THAT TYPE OF PRODUCT, WHICH, YOU KNOW, HAS A LOT OF PARKING, HAS KIND OF GONE AWAY.

TECHNOLOGY HAS ALLOWED CALL CENTERS AND THOSE TYPES OF USES.

PEOPLE WORK FROM HOME AND DO IT. SO IF YOU CALL LIKE AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT PERSON IS WORKING FROM THEIR HOME.

SAME WITH ON SITE LEARNING. SO INDUSTRIAL, BECAUSE OF E-COMMERCE AND THE THE RESURGENCE OF MANUFACTURING IN THE UNITED STATES HAS BECOME MORE MORE IMPORTANT. THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION.

I HAVE ONE MORE. SO WHEN YOU BUILD OR THE BUILDING DO YOU GUYS MAINTAIN IT OR IS IT SOLD OR ARE YOU LEASE IT OUT? SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME BUILDINGS THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN HERE 35 YEARS.

SO SOME OF THEM WE'VE SOLD OVER THE YEARS AND SOME WE STILL OWN IN THAT SECTION.

SO OUR PARTNER IS BLACKROCK, THE BIG ASSET MANAGER.

I THINK THE LARGEST ASSET MANAGER IN THE WORLD NOW.

THERE'LL BE OUR PARTNER. WE DEVELOPED 5601 HIATUS WITH THEM AND THE ONE, I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT ADDRESS, BUT THE ONE ON MCNAB AND HIATUS, WHERE AMAZON IS CURRENTLY, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER TENANTS LIKE MEDIAFIRE.

SO WE STILL HAVE OWNERSHIP WITH THAT WITH BLACKROCK THERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU SAID YOU'VE MET WITH NEIGHBORING.

MY QUESTION IS FOR THE CHURCH, THE ZONING AREA OR THE WHAT IS IT? THE LOADING AREA. YES. ADJOINS THE CHURCHES. SO HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK FOR THEM? SO WE'RE TOTALLY SEPARATE, INDEPENDENT. JUST VISUALLY, WE BACK UP TO THEIR LOADING AREA AND THEY BACK UP TO OURS, BUT THERE'S NO CONNECTION, SO THERE'S NO CHANCE OF LIKE TRUCKS FROM OUR PROPERTY GOING ON TO THEIRS OR VICE VERSA.

OUR CIRCULATION IS INTERNAL, SO THEY'LL COME ONTO OUR PROPERTY AND EXIT OR MAINTAIN.

LIKE ROBERT SAID, WE'RE MAINTAINING THE SAME ACCESS POINTS.

AND YOU KNOW, LIKE THE OLD THE BUILDING THAT CURRENTLY HAS SONNY'S CAR WASH OFFICES USED TO BE AN OLD BUILDING WE DID FOR MAYORS JEWELERS MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS AGO. IT ALSO HAS A LOADING AREA THERE TOO.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S USED AS MUCH. SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A HISTORY WITH, YOU KNOW, KIND OF SOME TRUCK MOVEMENT IN THAT COMING IN AND OUT OF THERE.

BUT PRIMARILY MOST OF THE TRUCKS COMING IN WILL COME OFF THE SAWGRASS.

GO NORTH ON HIATUS, MAKE A RIGHT INTO OUR PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, INTERNAL CIRCULATION, AND THEN PROBABLY MAKE A LEFT OUT ON HIATUS AND GO TO THE SAWGRASS. I GUESS I'M ASSUMING THAT'S THE MOST LIKELY.

THAT'S WHAT THE TRAFFIC STUDY SAYS. AND AGAIN, LIKE ROBERT SAID, I THINK WE HAVE LIKE AN 80% REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC.

SO A LOT LESS CAR MOVEMENT AND OR TRUCK MOVEMENT COMPARED TO WHAT'S THERE NOW.

THANK YOU. OKAY. AND WATER REDUCTION TOO WITH THAT.

WATER REDUCTION, YOU SAID? YEAH. BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT LESS, I THINK WE HAD THAT STUDY, DIDN'T WE, ROBERT? WHERE IT SHOWED THERE WOULD BE LESS. YEAH.

THAT WAS LESS IMPACT ON WATER. AND I SAW THE THE PRESENTATION AHEAD OF US AND THERE WAS A CONCERN WITH WATER.

SO WE'RE HERE TO TELL YOU I THINK WE'RE REDUCING WATER USAGE.

WELL THANK YOU. YEAH. DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE WATER? WE HAD THAT. ROBERT, DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE STUDY SAID BECAUSE WE HAD TO DO THAT. THAT WAS WHAT THE LAND USE AMENDMENT. THAT'S THAT'S THE. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. LEVEL OF SERVICE REVIEW FOR CAPACITY.

OKAY. THE CONCURRENCY REVIEW. YEAH. WE HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE WE'RE NOT GOING TO INCREASE THE THE BURDEN ON THE CITY.

AND IT WAS ACTUALLY. YEAH, BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE IT'S AN OFFICE BUILDING A LOT MORE BUILT, A LOT MORE CAR TRAFFIC, BUT A LOT MORE OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY WERE IN THAT BUILDING.

SO, YOU KNOW, TOILETS, FLUSHING SINKS, BLAH BLAH BLAH.

THIS IS A LOT MORE STORAGE AND MANUFACTURING.

SO THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT LESS PEOPLE. SO LESS WATER.

SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD?.

PARDON ME. OKAY, THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO ASK FOR A MOTION TO MOVE THE ITEM FORWARD AS PRESENTED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE STAFF.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO DO SO? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD MOVE FAVORABLY FOR THE PLAN WITH THE CONDITIONS MENTIONED.

THANK YOU. I SECOND. SECOND BY JACQUES MOISE.

[01:00:01]

I LIKE THE WAY THE BUILDINGS LOOK. OH THANK YOU.

WE LOVE THE CITY. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE MORE TO COME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. ALL RIGHTY, THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WATER IN ITEM 8.A, KENT, I HAD A MOMENT HERE.

RIGHT. I SHOULD HAVE ASKED YOU THE QUESTION BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD ASK THE ASK YOU AND I DIDN'T ASK YOU.

SO IS IT OKAY THAT I ASK NOW OR SHOULD I RESERVE THE QUESTION? SURE. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE HAVE IN DEVELOPMENT WITH DATA CENTERS THAT COME INTO TAMARAC, IS THAT A CONSIDERATION? SO THAT'S KIND OF A STICKY SUBJECT NOW THAT'S HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND ALSO WITH GOVERNOR DESANTIS.

SO HE HAS ON HIS WEBSITE AND ALSO SENATE BILL 484.

I JUST PULLED IT UP. SO WITH DATA CENTERS, HIS STANCE WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, HE'S ALLOWING THE MUNICIPALITIES TO REGULATE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THEY COME IN AND THERE'S A KIND OF A SHIFT BETWEEN THE WAY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S LOOKING AT IT AND THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THEN FLORIDA HAS A DIFFERENT TAKE ON IT. FLORIDA IS BEING MORE CONSERVATIVE.

THEY HAVE CERTAIN REGULATIONS ON DATA CENTERS.

THEY CAN'T BE WITHIN CERTAIN DISTANCES. THEY CAN'T PROVIDE A DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON WATER ONTO THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY TO AS WELL.

THE SENATE BILL 44 TALKS ABOUT COORDINATION WITH THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS IN THE AREA, TOO, AS WELL, BECAUSE DATA CENTERS REQUIRE A LOT OF WATER FOR COOLING AND THEY JUST CAN'T COME IN CARTE BLANCHE.

THERE'S, I WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH ON IT, BUT THERE IS PARAMETERS IN PLACE THAT KIND OF REGULATE WHERE DATA CENTERS CAN GO.

AND THEY'RE BEING MORE RESTRICTIVE IN FLORIDA THAN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.

THINGS MAY CHANGE. THINGS KEEP RAPIDLY CHANGING EACH MONTH, BUT IF WE DO GET A DATA CENTER THAT IS INQUIRING ABOUT US, WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THOSE MEASURES WITH THE STATE AND ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ADEQUATE SUPPLY FOR THAT AS WELL.

OKAY, THANK YOU. WE'LL LEAD INTO YOUR REPORT AND DIRECTOR'S REPORT.

[10. Director's Report ]

YOU GUYS SAW THAT AT THE LAST PLANNING BOARD MEETING THAT WAS APPROVED AT THE CITY COMMISSION MEETING AS WELL.

OKAY. AWESOME, THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE. DOES ANYONE ON THE PLANNING BOARD HAVE A REPORT THEY'D LIKE TO GIVE? WELL, I HEARD THAT IT WAS MISS JUDY'S BIRTHDAY, SO I JUST WANT TO OFFICIALLY SAY FROM THE BOARD.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN. THANK YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. AND IF WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, WE CAN ADJOURN. IT IS NOW 10:06 AND MEETING ADJOURNED.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
