Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached resolution.
Explanation:
On November 15, 2006, the City Commission passed and adopted Ordinance No. O-2006-36 which approved the rezoning of property generally located at 4000 South Ocean Drive to Planned Development and approved the Sian Master Development Plan which proposed to develop the site in three phases consisting of 660 condo-hotel rooms, 49 condominiums, 30 pool cabanas, 21,438 sq. ft. of meeting space, 10, 433 sq. ft. for a restaurant, 6,000 sq. ft. of retail space and a parking garage.
PRH 4000 South Ocean Drive, LLC (PRH) has submitted a request to the Department of Planning to amend the master development plan which will require amendments to the Plat Notation on the "Indigo Beach Resort". The amendments will include revisions to the access and concurrency notes as well as modifications to certain platted easement interests are necessary to accommodate the new site design for the development.
PRH 4000 South Ocean Drive, LLC is acting together with MHI/Carlye Sian Owner I, LLC as co-petitioners to accomplish the necessary plat revisions outlined in the plat application.
In order to accommodate the new site design and circulation, the petitioners propose to provide a new 30' right-in only access opening 130' north of the existing 50' southerly access opening together with a right deceleration turn lane serving the properties. This requires a revision to the non-vehicular access line along the west side of South Ocean Drive, as more specifically described in Exhibit "A" attached to the agenda package. As part of their access review, FDOT is requiring the dedication of right of way for a deceleration turn lane on South Ocean Drive, as more specifically identified in Exhibit "B". As South Ocean Drive is under the jurisdictional responsibility of the Florida Department of Transportation, the applicant has sought and obtained conceptual approval from the FDOT for the requested driveway access revisions.
Additionally, the new driveway configuration will require the relocation of the existing bus bay easement along the property frontage 60 feet to the north as more specifically identified in Exhibit "C" of the agenda package. The Petitioners shall also provide for a bus shelter installation per the City's design standards prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the proposed hotel/condominium. The relocation of the existing 10' wide landscape buffer easement also is necessary due to the access modifications, as more specifically identified in Exhibit "D". The City has also been requested to release the City's interest in an unutilized existing traffic control easement as more specifically identified in Exhibit "E", of which the City has no objection to such release.
Finally, the Petitioners also desire to amend the concurrency notation on the Plat, reducing the number of condo-hotel units from 1056 to 591, retaining 100,000 sf of commercial use, and introducing 77 high-rise residential units and 17 boat slips to the mix on Tract A. The specific revision is reflected below:
From: This plat is restricted to Tract A having development of 100,000 square feet of commercial use and a 1,056-room condo-hotel (326 existing rooms and 730 proposed). Tracts B and C are restricted to no development. Bank uses are not permitted without the approval of the Broward County Commissioners, who shall review and address these uses for increased impacts.
To: Tract A is restricted to 100,000 square feet of commercial use, 591 condo-hotel rooms (326 rooms existing and 265 rooms proposed), 77 high rise units and 17 boat slips. Tract B is restricted to parking lot, landscaping and boat slip use. Tract C is restricted to parking lot and landscaping. Free standing banks or banks with drive-thru facilities are not permitted without the approval of the Broward County Commissioners, who shall review and address these uses for increased impacts.
Staff has reviewed the request and finds the proposed development remains consistent with the concurrency standards established for the Plat, and therefore recommends approval. The Petitioners intend to file the plat amendment application with Broward County, and City Commission approval is necessary for the plat amendment to proceed at the County level.
