Summary:
This proposed Rising Tide Car Wash development received Building Design and Vernacular or Superior Design Alternative approval on January 6, 2026. At this time, the project proposes a free-standing sign structure (monument sign) at the property's entrance. Approval by this Committee is required for sign structures as part of Building Design for the Rising Tide development, in accordance with the Applicability regulations for Sign Structure Design Standards, Section 155.51003, and the AAC Development Order for Building Design, which includes a condition that the monument/free-standing sign must be approved by the AAC prior to Sign Code Compliance Permit approval.
The applicant received approval for a new 3,500-square-foot car wash with 500 square feet of covered vacuuming spaces, along with related site and landscape improvements and CPTED modifications. The project site abuts single-family residential properties to the north, a vacant parcel to the east, and retail to the west. The project received DRC approval for a Type B landscaping buffer as included in the project, and CPTED-approved fencing will be provided along Atlantic Boulevard, as well as an 8-foot wall along NW 1 Street.
The subject property is located on the north side of West Atlantic Boulevard, between NW 30 Avenue and NW 28 Avenue.
Pursuant to Section 155.2205 of the Code of Ordinances, the Architectural Appearance Committee may require changes in plans and specifications as, in its judgment, are necessary 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.
