Summary:
The Applicant Landowner is requesting a Major Temporary Permit from the provisions of Chapter 155: Article 4 [Use Standards] and Article 5 [Development Standards] of the City of Pompano Beach Zoning Code in order to temporarily utilize an existing parking lot for a temporary sales center without complying with the applicable use and development standards as required by Code.
The subject property is located on the west side of N Ocean Boulevard (A1A) and on the south side of NE 7th Court.
PROPERTY INFORMATION
1. The subject property has no open code compliance cases and no active business tax receipts.
2. The site was previously used as a sales center for the now-completed Sabbia Beach condominium through a series of Temporary Use Permits (PZ #19-15000012; PZ #18-15000009; PZ #15-15000013; PZ #14-15000009).
3. More recently, the subject property was rezoned to an RPUD (PZ #20-13000007) and site planned (PZ #21-12000020) in order to redevelop the site with a 12-unit multifamily development. Building permits for that development have not yet been submitted. In the interim, the applicant is remodeling the existing sales center structure (BP #21-10109) to showcase the nearby approved multi-family residential development at 900 N Ocean Boulevard. Approval of this Major Temporary Use Permit application will formally allow the sales center to operate at 723 N Ocean Boulevard for one year.
4. The site already has appropriate parking and landscaping as a result of the previous sales center use.
