1. Info only: Approach to Entitlements:
Policy 2.16.4 makes residential a permitted use in Commercial land use and does not specify maximum density. It allows 6 bonus units for every moderate-income (80-120% of AMI) affordable unit without limitation on total units.
Policy 2.16.4 does not specify net versus gross acreage, therefore, net acreage is assumed to apply whenever acreage is referenced. The net site acreage proposed for the Modera site is 3.88 acres, therefore, the non-accessory commercial requirement under 2.16.4 is for a site less than 5-acres which is 50% of the ground floor for the portion of the buildings facing Federal Highway.
The Applicant is proposing to rezone the property to PD. Per the Citys land development code, the PD zoning district may use gross acreage to calculate density. The Modera site to the centerline of Federal Highway is 5.04 acres which also includes the area to the centerline of the adjacent Nancy Canal. Section 155.4202 of the Citys Code allows 69 du/ac for properties with commercial land use using Policy 2.16.4 for entitlements. The City Engineer has determined that the Nancy Canal is NOT considered part of the Primary Drainage System and, therefore, can be counted towards density, this results in a density limitation for the PD of 347 units based on the gross acreage. Application proposes 347 units.
2. Info only: The property abuts Federal Hwy where 120 foot ROW is required. Based on the survey, the property provides a minimum of 79 feet to the centerline, therefore, no additional ROW is required to be dedicated.
3. Application to be consistent with Planned Development, pending approval.
4. Plat note amendment in process with County. Recordation required prior to building permit approval.
5. A final SCAD Letter will be required prior to Building Permit Issuance.
6. In order to obtain the number of units proposed, affordable housing must be a component of the residential development based on the following bonus units to affordable unit formula(s) described below:
(a) Moderate income: six (6) bonus units for every (1) one moderate income unit.
(b) Low income: nine (9) bonus units for every (1) one low income unit.
(c) Very-low income: nineteen (19) bonus units for every (1) one very-low income unit.
Identify the proposed ratio. A declaration will be required. The units reserved as affordable will be required to be distributed, consistent with the proposed unit mix of the development.
7. Modify the access easement as necessary for the property to the south remaining after acquisition of the 3.88-acre site. Which sheet shows the easement? The Shared Access Easement Exhibit (EX-1) was not provided with this submittal.

1. Info only: Address all comments on the PD Master Plan provided with application number PZ 25-13000002. Upload the PD Master Plan as a separate document as the Site Plan.
a. On the master plan, provide a deviation table that identifies how the PD deviates from the standard code requirements.
b. Understood. Note that the site plan shall reflect the required setbacks/dimensional standards and the permitted uses established from the PD. If any changes occur to the PD document, the site plan data table shall be updated.
2. Condition of approvals:
a. The subject parcel shall be formally subdivided with Broward County to reflect the proposed PD. The division shall be configured so that nonconformities are not created or increased on the south parcel and compliance with requirements such as perimeter landscape strips and other spatial items such as setbacks are met. Any construction required for the southern parcel shall obtain separate building permits from the subject parcel.
b. A shared access agreement shall be provided for the new north and south parcels at the time of building permit approval.
c. The access easement shown on the survey sketch (per plat) shall be revised or abandoned to correlate with the access points of the new southern parcel. The new access easement shall be established prior to building permit approval.
d. The Plat is restricted to 30,000 SF of commercial development. The proposed Plat Note Amendment to include residential shall be approved as a condition of approval for this site plan.
e. The standard utility easement form shall be provided at time of building permit for the construction of the sidewalk within this north utility easement.
f. The sustainability narrative has been received. The applicant shall provide evidence of compliance for the points used for the Sustainability Narrative as submitted to the DRC by time of building permit approval in accordance with Table 155.5802: Sustainable Development Options and Points.
3. A vehicular use area (VUA) buffer is required for the drive aisle along the new south property line in accordance with section 155.5203.D.
a. Revise the property line of this new parcel to include the VUA buffer on the interior side of it.
b. Please clarify the trees proposed south of the south property line but north of the blue line. These trees are off-site and therefore do not count toward the subject site’s minimums. These trees are included in the tree count for the site, but are off-site. Shift the line and/or clarify, correct, justify, or remove. Alternatively, a shared landscape agreement can be provided to ensure maintenance and responsibility between the subject site ownership and the southern property owner.
4. Show the roof structure on the elevation and clarify its height from the roof deck.
a. Sheet A105 is the roof plan. The height was not provided here. Additionally, the elevation sheets were not updated to show the shade structure or its height.
b. Condition: Acknowledged. Provide the details of the rooftop canopy on all relevant floor plans and cross sections (footings, structure, etc.) by time of building permit. Additionally, provide the canopy product detail at time of permitting.
5. In accordance with code section 155.5102.L, all parking areas containing more than ten parking spaces shall provide bicycle racks or lockers sufficient to accommodate the parking of at least four bicycles for each ten parking spaces, or major fraction thereof, above ten spaces-provided that no more than 20 bicycle parking spaces shall be required in any one parking area. Required bike racks/lockers shall be installed on a paved surface and located in visible, well-lit areas conveniently accessible to the primary entrances of a development principal building(s). They shall be located where they do not interfere with pedestrian traffic and are protected from conflicts with vehicular traffic. Clarify how many bikes can be stored in the bike storage room for the residential portion. Provide at least one bike rack outside near the commercial spaces.
a. Bike storage/rack counts not provided within the site plan data table.
b. The exterior bike racks were removed. Put back bike racks somewhere near the commercial space for public use. Inside the 15’ walkway area seems appropriate. Update the site data table to reflect the quantity of bike racks near the commercial area.
c. The site plan data table was not updated to reflect the number of exterior bike spaces.
6. On sheet C-800 clarify what area is being counted towards the “Nancy waterway shore”. The chart claims this is 12% of the site's pervious area. Clarify if this shore area is in the water as this cannot count towards the required pervious area. Pervious area shall be dry land area that contains living material (sod, landscaping, etc.) so that water can percolate into the ground.
a. As mentioned, the waterway shoreline or bank area cannot be counted towards the pervious area of the site as this area is normally underwater and not made of living material that percolates into the ground. The proposed site only has 17.7% total pervious area rather than the required 20% minimum. Either revise the plans to provide more living landscape area or provide a deviation table in the PD Documents/Master Plan that allows this. Additionally, provide a note on the Site Plan that there shall be no future expansion of the building, pavers, concrete, patios, or other impervious area.
7. The Director of Environmental Services, Russell Ketchem, has provided the following comment for the proposed trash pick up/trash location: “The proposed development shall use a dumpster, which requires a front-loading truck. The current proposal will not work as the truck will be forced to back into a parking space, which cannot be done if a car is parked there. The turning radius and back-out points need to be clear from other vehicles and buildings. I would suggest that the proposer indicate (via CAD) the turning radius on the plan, rather than hand-drawn marks.” Please contact Russell Ketchem directly for future feedback at Russell.Ketchem@copbfl.com <mailto:Russell.Ketchem@copbfl.com>.
a. The garbage truck plan still shows the truck backing into the parking space. Revise the plan so the front-loading truck heading into the pickup area and then backing out and circulating the parking lot so that it doesn’t back into a space.
8. Clarify if you are adding boat slips to the project. A 2025 environmental memo was added saying the county will allow up to 4 slips but boat slips are not shown on the plans.
9. On the site data table, the note for the provided height got cut off. Revise to expand this box on the chart.
10. The new survey says the total site square footage is 177,141 SF. The site plan has a typo that says 177,142 SF. Revise.
11. Revise the site plan sheet to include the site plan data table on the same sheet. This should not be separated.
12. The western landscape buffer along the canal is required to be 10’ abutting the VUA in the southwestern part of the site. The current proposal shows less than 10’ in place of a patio area. Either revise the plans or provide this reduction of a VUA landscape buffer within the deviation table as part of the PD Plan/Master Plan.
