Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
Liberty Grande, LLC, requests an amendment to the previously approved Planned Development Master Development Plan and the allocation of an additional three condo-hotel rooms from the "Central Beach Hotel Room Pool" for Costa Hollywood, a 304 room condo-hotel generally located at 777 North Ocean Drive. In addition to granting the project approval for a Change in Zoning Designation, Master Development Plan, Variance, Design, and Site Plan, the City Commission also granted the allocation of a total of 140 rooms for the "Central Beach Hotel Room Pool" (98 rooms with Ordinances O-2004-23 and O-2006-38 and 42 with Ordinance O-2013-07).
The Applicant is currently requesting an additional three condo-hotel rooms from the Central Beach Hotel Room Pool; and therefore, an amendment to the Master Development Plan and Site Plan. This request does not impact the actual building massing or height. The spaces allocated for these rooms were previously approved as offices. Therefore, as part of this approval, the Applicant is also requesting a release of the Declaration of Restrictions limiting the use of such areas to offices, not rooms.
