No Action Necessary.
1. Land use for this parcel is Residential (H- High Residential 25-46 DU/AC), the zoning for this property is PD-I (Ord. 2019-81). The size of this property is approximately .62 acres net acres (27,045 square feet) and .86 gross acres; resulting in approximately 39 units (permitted by the land use 39 units per gross acre). The PD-I limits the number of residential units to allow 28 units (all 3 bedroom units).
2. The property was platted in 1922 (Plat of Government Lot 3 - PB: 1 Pg. 25) . The Applicant has submitted a new plat application to the City (P&Z: 21-14000021): Ocean Park Plat.
3. A School Capacity Availability Determination (SCAD) Letter from the Broward County School Board, dated 11/30/2021 was submitted noting that the 28 unit high-rise condo is exempt from school concurrency.
4. The property is abuts N Ocean Blvd (AKA: A1A) and NE 16 Street. The site plan indicates that there is an existing 50 feet of right-of-way dedicated for NE 16th Street & 10.6 feet will be dedicated along N Ocean Blvd. No additional ROW is required along NE 16 Street. The property fronts onto N Ocean Blvd (AKA: A1A), which is identified on the Broward County Trafficways Plan. Both the Trafficways Plan & Chapter 100.01 requires a minimum of 80 feet for this roadway (as proposed by the Applicant).

Status: Pending Resubmit
1. The on-street parking spaces provided are for public use; they shall not be included in the calculation or the parking table provided.
2. Revise the Lot Coverage Diagram. The lot coverage includes more than the parking garage area.
3. Revise the floor plans. Some of the drawings include furniture that is out of the building terraces.
4. The West Elevation shows a structure located at the north of the building. Please explain what is it, and add it to the site plan as needed. If this corresponds to the trash containers staging area, please remove it from the elevation drawings. A label on the site plan will be enough. Only the permanent elements should be part of the drawings.
5. The East elevation shows two overhangs, one at the second-floor level and the other at the first floor which drops down to the ground level. When it changes from the overhang to the ground, it becomes a wall. As a wall this element is encroaching into the setback. Then, the setback gets reduce to 7 feet or less if we consider that you are having few tables along the setback. Revise and modify as needed.
6. The previous comments regarding the progress of the park design were not completely addressed. We are not asking the terms of the agreement, we want to get an update of the status of the park design. The comments remain until addressed.
7. The Site plan shows the south wall of the building extending to the property line, two doors, and 3 bicycle racks. Are you extending the wall or is this a drafting mistake? Please explain and revise the drawings as needed.
8. The proposed sculpture must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Appearance Committee. Define the element as soon as possible to avoid any future delays in the approval of the project. Let us know who is the artist, the renders and the design of the art piece. To get a DO this element needs to be defined.

12. The project will have to bond for the value of the neighboring Green Buttonwood to ensure its care above and below ground by the contraction team
13. Provide trees on the East side bordering the park to create a landscape buffer along the East side to offer some separation form the Park parcel. This was intended to be an onsite delineation of landscaping.
14. Provide values of the trees on the adjoining park property. There is a champion sized Green Buttonwood on the site and the proposed appears to be impacting the critical root zone of that tree and adjustments are going to have to be made to preserve this area.
15. All tree work will require permitting by a registered Broward County Tree Trimmer.
16. Provide a comment response sheet as to specifically how comments have been addressed at time of resubmittal.
