Summary:
A. Plat Background
A plat is a map, drawn to scale, showing the divisions of a piece of land. It can delineate blocks, streets, alleys and easements. Further refinement often splits blocks into individual lots, usually for the purpose of selling the described lots, this has become known as subdivision. The statutory definition of subdivision according to Chapter 177.031(18), F.S. is “the division of land into three or more lots, parcels, tracts, tiers, blocks, sites, units, or any other division of land; and includes establishment of new streets and alleys, additions, and re-subdivisions.” Upon the filing of a plat, legal descriptions can then refer to block and lot-numbers rather than portions of sections. In order for plats to become legally valid, a local governing body must review and approve them.
In Broward County, such legal authority is bestowed upon the Broward County Commission as stipulated within Article 7 of the Broward County Administrative Rules Document. Section 7.2 - ‘Countywide Platting Authority’ states that “No plat of lands lying within Broward County, either in the incorporated or unincorporated areas, may be recorded in the Official Records prior to approval by the County Commission.” Section 7.4 provides for the input of each local government within Broward County, whereby a plat application must first be approved by the local jurisdiction before final approval with the County Commission. That section states that “local Jurisdictions shall require platting at least in those circumstances where the Broward County Land Use Plan requires platting.”
B. Request
The applicant is requesting plat approval for the entitled “Ocean Park Pompano Beach” Plat. The 0.86 acre property is located on the southeast corner of North Ocean Blvd. and NE 16th Street. The agent Andrea Harper of Keith, Inc. is representing the owner of the property, Mount Vernon Property Holdings, LLC, who is the Applicant. The existing site is vacant. The subject property has a land use designation of Residential High and Planned Development-Infill (PD-I) zoning. On July of 2019, the City Commission approved the PD-I Zoning and a Site Plan consistent with the PD-I Master Plan is scheduled for the January 19, 2022 DRC Hearing.
The proposed development is a 19-story mixed use building with 28 residential units and ground floor commercial. The proposed Plat will create two parcels, ‘Parcel A’ for the proposed mixed use project and Parcel B for right-of-way dedication. The Plat is restricted to “28 high-rise units and 4,000 square feet of commercial use. No more than 50 percent of the floor area will be used for commercial use.”
C. Plat Purpose - Section 155.2410. PLAT:
The purpose of this section is to provide a review procedure to conform to the Broward County Land Use Plan's requirement that local governments require compliance with the county's platting requirements and to ensure subdivisions of land within the city:
1. Provide for the orderly growth and development of the city;
2. Coordinate proposed streets with existing and planned streets in the city's street system, and with other public facilities;
3. Provide rights-of-way for streets and utility easements;
4. Avoid congestion and overcrowding of streets;
5. Ensure there is adequate access to development;
6. Ensure there are adequate utility facilities to serve development;
7. Ensure there is adequate open space and recreation facilities to serve development; and
8. Ensure there is proper recordation of land ownership or property owner association records, where applicable.
D. Plat Review Standards
An application for a Plat shall be approved only on a finding that the proposed subdivision or development on the lots proposed to be platted meets all of the following standards:
1. The development complies with the applicable standards in Part 7 (Lots) of Article 5: Development Standards;
2. The development complies with all other applicable standards in this Code;
3. The development complies with all requirements or conditions of any applicable development orders (e.g., Planned Development);
4. Any land within the platted lot(s) that is necessary to comply with the Broward County Trafficways Plan has been conveyed to public by deed or grant of easement;
5. The development complies with any applicable hazardous material licensing requirements in the Broward County Wellfield Protection Ordinance; and
6. All facilities for the distribution of electricity, telephone, cable television, and similar utilities, shall be placed underground.
E. Staff Analysis:
As mentioned, the property has the land use designations of H (High 46 du/ac) and the PD-I zoning was approved in 2019. This plat was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) on December 15, 2021, and found to be in compliance with the City’s Land Development Regulations.
The PD-I Master Plan was approved allowing the 28 residential units and commercial square footage included in the proposed plat note.
