Summary Explanation/Background
THE PUBLIC WORKS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND HOUSING AND URBAN PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION, subject to staff recommendations which will ensure compliance with the standards and requirements of Chapter 5, Article IX of the Broward County Code of Ordinances.
The plat is located on approximately 69.24 acres, on the north side of Sunrise Boulevard, on both sides of Northwest 136 Avenue, in the City of Sunrise. The plat is restricted to the following: Parcels A, B and C are restricted to 2,083 high-rise units, 300 townhouse units, 485,000 square feet of commercial use and 785,000 square feet of office use. Parcel D is restricted to 417 mid-rise units. In cases where a building floor may have both commercial and office uses; the entire floor will be considered commercial use. No banks are permitted within the office use, and no free-standing or drive thru bank facilities are permitted within the commercial use without the approval of the Board of County Commissioners who shall review and address these uses for increased impacts.
The applicant is requesting to amend the note on the face of the plat by adding an additional 500 high-rise units on Parcels A & B and an additional 140,000 square feet of office use on Parcel C.
This plat was the subject of Broward County Land Use Plan (BCLUP) amendments PC 07-19 and PCT 07-5, which were adopted by the Broward County Commission on February 10, 2009, recognizing the voluntary commitment of contributing $500 per dwelling unit into the City’s affordable housing trust fund or restricting 15% (i.e. 420) of the dwelling units as affordable housing, or a combination thereof.
This request accompanies a proposed non-vehicular access line (NVAL) amendment application for the plat.
