(13-DFJPV-103).
Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Ordinance.
Explanation:
4111 South Ocean Drive a.k.a. Related Group, is requesting to incorporate residential units into the previously approved Beach One Resort project located at the southern tip of Hollywood's barrier island (4111 S Ocean Drive). To accomplish this, as the property has a General Business land use, allocation of 40 Reserve Units from Flex Zone 92 is necessary. As a result of interjecting the residential use into the project, the Master Development Plan, Modifications, Site Plan, and Design are proposed to be amended. In this item, the City Commission will consider only the requests for the allocation of Reserve Units and the amendment of the Master Development Plan. The City Commission will consider the other components at Second Reading of this Ordinance.
On February 13, 2014 the Planning and Development Board (Board) forwarded a recommendation (6-1) of approval with Staff's conditions to allocate 40 Reserve Units. The Board did not consider the other components, as they are to be considered solely by the City Commission.
Located on the prominent southernmost point of the City, the project proposes to amend the previously approved Master Development Plan, Site Plan and Design, (477 Rooms) to include 40 Residential Units and 367 Hotel Rooms; lobby; restaurant; and associated parking and amenities. At 866,114 square feet, the proposed project is approximately 117,800 square feet smaller than the previously approved. While the building design has significantly changed, the overall height has remained at 40 stories, with the highest point decreasing by four feet. The current design also contemporary, proposing a rectangular tower, with undulating balconies inspired by ocean waves. The tower rests on a podium which features hotel rooms lining the east façade and a vertical landscape wall screening parking areas on the south and west facades.
Staff finds the proposed project consistent with the Criteria set forth by the Zoning and Land Development Regulations as well as the City-Wide Master Plan and therefore recommends approval:
Reserve Units: Approval with conditions
Master Development Plan: Approval, if the Reserve Units are granted.
The City Commission will consider the Design and Site Plan at Second Reading of this Ordinance.
