Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Ordinance.
Explanation:
The City of Hollywood requests a Change of Zoning Designation from Low Density Multiple Family (RM-9) to Government Use (GU), for an approximate 7,200 square foot fire station (Fire Station 45).
The existing fire station is the oldest fire station (Fire Station 45) in the City of Hollywood. Located at 1810 North 64th Avenue, it was originally constructed in 1965 (based on Broward County records) on a 0.69 acre lot. The updated facility will accommodate current technology allowing the Hollywood Fire Rescue to better serve area residents. The purpose of the rezoning to Government Use is to zone the property consistent with the Community Facility Land Use.
On April 14, 2016 the Planning and Development Board forwarded the following recommendations to the City Commission:
Rezoning: Approval.
The Board also made the following recommendations on a Special Exception, Design and Site Plan, which the City Commission will consider at Second Reading of this Ordinance.
Special Exception: Approval, if the Rezoning is granted.
Design: Approval, if the Rezoning and Special Exception are granted.
Site Plan: Approval, if the Rezoning, Special Exception, and Design are granted.
For reference, attached is the Planning and Development Board Staff Report with Supporting Documents.
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 of the Rezoning.
