Summary:
The Applicant Landowner is requesting a Major Temporary Use Permit from the provisions of Chapter 155, Article 4 [Use Standards] and Article 5 [Development Standards] of the City’s Zoning Code, in order to temporarily utilize compacted crushed concrete base as the driving surface on an access road serving adjacent parcels while the project undergoes Site Plan review.
The property is located along the south side of NW 15th Street, between the CSX railroad tracks and Interstate I-95, in the Northwest CRA.
PROPERTY INFORMATION AND STAFF ANALYSIS
1. The subject property is zoned I-1 (General Industrial) and has an Industrial land use designation.
2. The Applicant is requesting approval to temporarily utilize compacted crushed concrete base as the driving surface on the east access road serving the adjacent property. The proposed improvement is located within a 24-foot access easement on an approximately 71-foot-wide, 30,616-square-foot strip of land currently owned by Titan Florida LLC, which Ayco Group II LLC is acquiring through a pending Agreement for Exchange of Real Property. Titan Florida LLC has provided an Owner’s Certificate for the application.
3. The Applicant proposes to install approximately 6 to 8 inches of compacted crushed concrete base at existing grade, replacing the existing combination of asphalt, rock, and dirt currently serving as the access road. The existing truck yard on the adjacent land that will be accessed by the temporary driving surface is already paved and is not included in this request.
4. The Applicant states that the proposed temporary driving surface is intended to provide an interim, dust-controlled access road while a permanent site plan, including paving and drainage improvements, is prepared and submitted for City review and approval, as well as Broward County approval for surface water management. The Applicant proposes that the temporary surface remain in place for a period of one year or until the permanent improvements are approved and constructed, whichever occurs first.
5. The request is related to open City Code Compliance Case No. 24-09005280, which requires the access road to be repaired to provide a paved, dustless surface with the necessary permits. The Applicant states that the proposed compacted crushed concrete surface is an interim improvement intended to address the existing conditions while the permanent improvements are designed and permitted.
6. The Applicant also proposes to remove the existing chain-link fencing located within 15 feet of the NW 15th Street right-of-way and relocate the fencing and associated gates, including a proposed 40-foot cantilever gate, to comply with Section 155.5302 of the Zoning Code. The proposed fence and gate locations and construction details are depicted on the conceptual site plan and accompanying fencing diagrams.
