Summary:
The applicant is requesting Building Design approval to remodel an existing 7,920 SF one-story industrial building, add a 4,848 SF warehouse to the west side, improve driveways for better access and circulation, upgrade landscaping and irrigation, and provide ADA-compliant parking.

The scope of work includes façade renovations to the existing building for a more cohesive design that is compatible with the new addition.
The property is located north of NW 16 Street, and west of North Dixie Highway.
