Summary:
The Applicant Landowner is requesting a VARIANCE from Section 155.4228.A.3.a.i [Outdoor Storage Screening Standards] of the Pompano Beach Zoning Code in order to allow an 8-foot screening fence in lieu of a taller structure and to permit mounded underground propane storage tanks to extend above the height of the required screening fence or wall.

The property is located on the west side of S Andrews Avenue (SW 12th Avenue) between SW 2nd Street and SW 3rd Street.
