PLANNING

Status: Pending Resubmit

1. Property is platted "Collier City" PB 31, Pg 1 (1953), which appears unrestricted in terms of uses or points of access.

2. The land use for this parcel is Commercial, and the zoning is B-2 (Community Business). The proposed use is Restaurant, which is listed as a permitted use in this zoning district.

3. Broward County Trafficways Plan requires a minimum of 144' (up to 164') feet on Powerline Road; the survey and site plan indicate that there is approximately 65 feet to the center line of the road, where a minimum of 72 feet will be required, thus additional dedications are required. Broward County Trafficways Plan is regulated by the Broward County Planning Council. Questions may be directed to 954-357-6695. Chapter 100 of the City's Code of Ordinances also requires the ROW to be a minimum of 144 feet in width. The City Engineer must confirm any variation from this.

4. Access to this site will be difficult to accommodate. Our code does not allow access to the property within 100 linear feet of the intersection with Powerline Road. Only one two-way driveway, or one pair of one-way driveways, is allowed onto lots with 200 or less feet of lot frontage on the arterial or collector street.
A variance may be the only appropriate path to accommodate the proposal. A variance will be required prior to development order issuance.

5. Should a one-way exit to the south be permitted, vehicles can only exit to the east as a west or left turn is prohibited by the constructed traffic diverter.

6. A Type C buffer (Sec 155.5203.F) is required as a residential compatibility standard.

7. The city has sufficient water and wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate the proposal.

ZONING

Diego Guevara | diego.guevara@copbfl.com <mailto:diego.guevara@copbfl.com>

Status: Pending Resubmit

Provide a written response to all comments.

1. The proposed south access driveway does not comply with Sec. 155.5101.G.3 Vehicular Access Management. This provision of the Code requires any driveway access to be at least 100 feet from the intersection of a principal arterial street, minor arterial street, or collector designated on the Broward County Trafficways Plan. The driveway will create a potential traffic conflict with the existing traffic pattern of the area. The applicant must obtain a relief from ZBA and approval from Broward County and Florida DOT.

2. Provide a drawing showing the VUA area with a hatch or a color, include the square footage of the hatched/colored area.

3. Revise the buffer types listed. In the previous DRC review meeting we established the need to provide a Type C buffer on the southern parcel as required by Sec. 155.5604 Residential Compatibility Standards. The site plan list all the buffer areas as Type B.
