Summary:
The applicant is requesting Building Design approval to construct a 19-story mixed-use development with two towers on one podium base, with a total of 28 residential units and 3,047 sq. ft. of commercial space. The footprint of the proposed building is 2,340 sq. ft. on a 27,049 sq. ft. (0.62 acre) site. Lot coverage is 66.8%. The Site Plan was reviewed by Development Review Committee on March 16, 2022 and the Planning and Zoning Board on April 27, 2022.
The AAC reviewed this project at its May 3, 2022 meeting. The result of the meeting was that the Committee requested the applicant submit revised drawings addressing the concerns expressed by the Committee, including further details regarding the proposed aluminum louver and landscape plan for the ground floor and amenities floor (4th floor) call-outs and detailed information on the intended finish materials to use on the building elevations.
The property is located on the east side of North Ocean Boulevard, south of NE 16 Street.
Pursuant to Section 155.2205, Code of Ordinances, the Architectural Appearance Committee may require such changes in plans and specifications as, in its judgment may be requisite and appropriate to ensure that the exterior appearance of buildings and structures enhances the aesthetic character of the surrounding development by complying with the architectural appearance standards of this Code and approved design guidelines.
The Zoning designation was changed from RM-45 (Multiple-Family Residence) to PD-I (Planned Development Infill) by Ordinance No. 2019-81 on July 23, 2019. The PD-I provides modifications and dimensional standards to allow flexibility in the project design, provides compatibility between the adjacent uses, and allows more efficient use of land with a structure consistent with the scale of the surrounding neighbors. The approved PD-I sets the developments standards for the site, and the proposed project meets the design criteria established in the PD-I.
