PLANNING
Plan Reviewer: Daniel Keester O’Mills | daniel.keester@copbfl.com
Status: Review Complete Pending Development Order
-Land use for this parcel is Industrial, the zoning is I-1 (General Industrial). The site plan design/layout appears to have changed & no longer includes auto sales with outdoor display. The applicant obtained a special exception for that use, as noted in the narrative (P&Z: 20-17000009) from the Zoning Board of Appeals, but it doesn''t seem to be relevant any longer. The proposal was originally limited to site improvements, but the current site plan proposes a new 2 story 6,600 square foot building for vehicle display. This is now a Major Site Plan application, which will require the submittal of a revised fee and new comments from Zoning will be issued based on the revised scope.
-The property is platted (FAIRVIEW AMENDED PLAT; ORB 10 Pg 25). When recorded, the plat did not include any plat notes or restrictions to the development of the property.
-The city has sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposal.
-The property is accessed from SW 8th Street. SW 8th Street is within a non-residential zoning district, not specifically listed in the Trafficways Plan or Code of Ordinances (100.01 Minimum right-of-way). The 60 feet provided on SW 8th Street is sufficient.
-The property does not abut any right-of-way identified on the Broward County Trafficways Plan.

ZONING
Plan Reviewer: Lauren Gratzer | lauren.gratzer@copbfl.com
Status: Resubmittal Required
1. The scope of work for the proposed site plan has drastically changed since the original DRC submittal in January 2021. A 6,672 SF addition to the building will result in this application changing from a minor site plan to a major site plan with building design. A new fee for this application change is now required. As of this submittal, it appears the use will be “Used Automobile and Light Truck Sales with Indoor Display Only” and will be reviewed as such until informed otherwise.
2. Note: The I-1 Zoning District, in which this property is located in, requires an interior side yard setback of 10’ on either side of the building and a rear yard setback of 30’ (155.3402). Buildings 1 and 2 are legally non-conforming to these setbacks. The remainder of this property shall be brought up to current Code requirements.
3. Provide an updated project narrative outlining all proposed work of this site plan. Additionally, list all business uses that have existing Business Tax Receipts (BTRs) or plan to have future BTRs at this location. BTR records indicate there is a contactor’s office in building 2 and the Specialty Auto Leasing LLC with approval as “Used Automobile and Light Truck Sales with Indoor Display Only” in building 1. Clarify if any other businesses plan to come into the existing or proposed building. This will be used to determine the parking requirements.
4. Clarify in the narrative and on the site plan if any cars are proposed to be kept outdoors for display. If no cars are proposed to be kept outdoors, place a note on the site plan stating, “There shall be no outdoor storage, display, or activity” (in addition to adding to the project narrative).
5. Clarify in the narrative if services such as automobile service, repair, installation, and/or maintenance will be provided at this location. This may trigger landscaping requirements.
6. Clarify in the narrative how the western most building is being modified, as stated on the site plan.
7. Clarify in the narrative how the automobiles will be loaded into the buildings. The site plan does not show a clear path for the cars to enter the building.
8. Provide both addresses as the “project address” on the site plan: 929 SW 8th ST & 941 SW 8 ST, as this site plan is for both properties.
9. Revise the scope of work (plan proposal) stated on the site plan to include the addition of the 6,672 SF building and upgrading the landscaping.
10. Comment not addressed: Update the parking table on the site plan to include the formulas & calculations for the minimum number of parking spaces required per 155.5102.D.1. Include a ‘Provided vs Required’ parking data table on the site plan. A contractor’s office requires 1 parking space per 400 sf. A “Used Automobile and Light Truck Sales with Indoor Display Only” requires 1 space per 400 SF of indoor sales display area and office space. Additionally, include any other type of business that may be proposed here.
a. With the numbers provided on the site plan, the contractor’s office in the western building requires a minimum of 9 parking spaces. The new 6,672 SF building will require 17 parking spaces. The existing building, closest to I-95, may continue to operate with the 1978 Variance approval of three parking spaces. Therefore, the minimum required parking on site is 29. The proposed site plan is deficient in parking by 15 parking spaces. Revise the plans.
11. Comment not addressed: Note on the site plan that all parking will be double striped (155.5102.C.4).
12. All parking areas must have a continuous curb (155.5102.C.9). Provide this on all plans.
13. Provide the width of the regular parking spaces on the site plan. Parking spaces shall be at least 9’x18’ (155.5102.I.1).
14. Comment not addressed: The vehicular use area perimeter buffer shall be a minimum 10’ in width per 155.5203.D.3. The 2’-9’’ buffer on the east side is not sufficient and will require relief.
15. The curbing shown on the site plan appear to disappear in the southeast corner as it reaches the vehicle lift. However, it is shown properly on the landscape plan. Correct this error on the site plan and provide the proper curbing in this landscape area.
16. Revise the landscape plan in all areas that say “new lawn” to state it as “sod”.
17. Provide a detail of the dumpster enclosure. Call out the height, materials, and color. It shall be constructed of brick, masonry, stone, or similar material, and on the fourth side by a wood or metal gate. The color shall match the design of the building. The height of the screening walls and gate shall be at least six inches higher than the height of the container (155.5301.C.1.a).
18. Provide landscaping surrounding the dumpster enclosure per 155.5301.C.1.a. in order to soften its visual impact.
19. The I-1 Zoning District requires a minimum of 20% pervious area inside of the property lines. The square footage required to meet this code requirement does not include the landscaping outside of the property, in the City swale. It appears the total landscape area number provided on the site stats chart of the site plan includes the swale landscaping. Additionally, permeable pavement shall not be credited towards the minimum pervious area of a property. Revise this to only include the landscaping inside of the property lines and ensure it still meets the minimum 20% of the lot.
20. Architectural elevations were not provided with this upload. Provide signed and sealed elevations for all sides of all buildings. Provide the height of the buildings as follows: “The height of a structure shall be determined by measuring the vertical distance from the average elevation of the existing finished grade at the front of the structure to the top of the roof for a flat roof, to the deck line for a mansard roof, or to the mean height between eaves and ridge for a gable, hip, cone, gambrel, or shed roof” (155.9401.G).
21. Provide the existing and proposed setbacks of the buildings on the site plan as both dimensions and within a site data table.
22. Clarify the note that says “SET BACK” in the southwest corner of the site plan, under the wording for “stop sign”. This set back wording doesn’t appear to represent anything. Likewise, clarify what setback you are calling out in the northwest corner of building 2. Is this a 10’ setback to the proposed concrete walkway?
23. Clarify why there is a 10’ landscape dimension called out from the northern property line. Provide the full extent of the landscape area dimension in the area.
24. Clarify what the 16’-6’’ dimension represents in the southeast corner of the site plan. It appears to run from the property line to a random point in the drive aisle.
25. Provide the width of the sidewalk where the bike racks are located.
26. Provide the total number of bicycle spaces in the site data table on the site plan.
27. There is currently no mechanical equipment rendered on the site plan and there was no roof plan or elevation sheets provided. Any ground floor mechanical equipment must be at least 3 feet from the property line and screened with either a solid fence or dense landscaping per 155.5301.A. Mechanical equipment mounted on the roof of a building shall be screened by a parapet wall, roof screen, or similar device of a height equal to or exceeding the height of the mechanical equipment being screened. Note that mechanical equipment is not permitted to be placed in front of the principal structure. If the mechanical equipment will be placed on the roof, show this on the elevations. If it will be on the ground, show it on the site plan.
28. Provide details of the lighting fixtures. Any light source or lamp that emits more than 900 lumens shall be concealed or shielded with full cut-off style fixture with an angle not exceeding 90 degrees to minimize glare and unnecessary light diffusion onto adjacent properties and streets (155.5401.G).
29. Wall packs on buildings may be used at entrances to a building to light unsafe areas. They are not intended to draw attention to the building or provide general building or site lighting. Wall packs on the exterior of the building shall be fully shielded (e.g., with true cut-off type bulb or light source not visible from off-site) to direct the light vertically downward and have a light output of 900 lumens or less (155.5401.I).
30. Provide a table on the photometric plan that states how many poles and how many wall light fixtures are being proposed in addition to the specific manufacturing information for each.
31. Clarify why a wall mounted light is proposed on the southern property line fence. A wall mounted light should not be on a fence.
32. Clarify where the proposed light poles are located. They are not shown on the photometric plan but they are in the legend.
33. Provide the height of each light pole and wall mounted fixture on the photometric plan. The maximum light height is 30 feet (155.5401.D).
34. Elevations were not provided and therefore a review of the building design could not be assessed. Provide elevations and ensure it meets the requirements of Code section 155.5602: Commercial, Institutional, and Mixed-Use Design Standards.
a. Provide the width and height on the elevations. “Street-facing front building facades that are greater than 60 feet wide shall be articulated with wall offsets (e.g., projections or recesses in the facade plane) that are at least one foot deep, at least ten feet wide, and spaced no more than 40 feet apart” (155.5602.C.5.a). Subsection B in the Code, has offset alternatives.
b. Call out the materials on the elevations and adhere to Code section 155.5602.C.6.Facade Materials.
c. Provide the fenestration calculations and adhere to Code section 155.5605.C.7.Fenestration/Transparency.
35. Provide a sustainability narrative that outlines how this project aims to achieve at least 12 sustainability points as defined in Table 155.5802: Sustainable Development Options and Points.
36. Landscaping shall meet the requirements of Code section 155.5203.Landscaping, including but not limited to the base building plantings and the parking space islands for every 10 spaces.
37. Additional comments may be rendered upon future submittals.
