Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the Resolution
Explanation:
On January 14, 2015 the Planning and Development Board considered the following requests for a 316 space Public Parking Garage:
1. Special Exception to allow a parking garage;
2. Sign Variance to increase the allowable area of two wall signs from 150 square feet to allow 525 square feet for each (north and south).;
3. Variance to waive the use of concrete wheel stops;
4. Design;
5. Site Plan.
Although Staff, jointly with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), recommended approval the Board forwarded the following recommendations:
Approval for:
1. Special Exception to allow a parking garage;
3. Variance to waive the use of concrete wheel stops;
4. Design, only if the height is maintained at 50 feet.
Denial for:
2. Sign Variance to increase the allowable area of two wall signs from 150 square feet to allow 525 square feet for each (north and south);
5. Site Plan.
The Board also considered a height variance, which the City Attorney subsequently determined not to be applicable. This determination was made as the Government Use (GU) Zoning District allows the City Commission to determine appropriate height limitations on an individual basis after considering the character of the surround area, the proposed development and the goals for community as stated in the Hollywood Comprehensive Plan, City-Wide Master Plan and relevant Neighborhood (Section 4.9 C.2.b.3)
