Summary:
The applicant is requesting Major Site Plan approval in order to construct a new multi-family development with 356 dwelling units on a portion of the Pompano Citi Centre Shopping Mall site that will be carved out as a 12.1 acre (529,005 square foot) parcel with 26% lot coverage. The project consists of eight 4-story buildings with a clubhouse, amenities, landscaping and surface parking with detached garage buildings. A segment of the existing Citi Centre perimeter/loop road will be relocated around the exterior of the new development, inside of the Citi Centre and adjacent to the existing mall parking. Access to the new development will be via a driveway off the perimeter/loop road.
A traffic study was prepared in order to assess the proposed re-routing of the internal circulation roadway to accommodate the residential development. The development’s main entrance was shifted eastward to a location that was deemed a safer vehicular ingress/egress point as a result of a review of the traffic study.
The site plan application is directly related to the agenda items to rezone the new parcel that is carved out of the Citi Centre site to RM-30, and to amend the Citi Centre PCD Master Plan to address the changes that result from the removal of the residential parcel from the Master Plan.
The property is located at approximately the south west portion of the Pompano Citi Center Shopping Mall site, which is located at the south west corner of East Copans Rd and North Federal Hwy.
