Summary:
The Applicant Landowner requests a Variance from Section ?155.5102(D)(1) (Minimum Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces) of the Pompano Beach Zoning Code to permit a reduction in the required number of parking spaces from 25 to 7. The variance request is based on a 10,000-square-foot use of Used Automobile and Light Truck Sales with Indoor Display Only, which requires 1 parking space per 400 square feet of indoor sales display area and office space pursuant to Code.
The applicant proposes to utilize the property as a vehicle storage and appointment-based showroom facility operated primarily through online sales. According to the applicant, the operation will not function as a traditional automobile dealership, as customer visits will occur by appointment only, vehicles will be stored entirely indoors, and on-site staffing will remain limited. The business is classified as a "Used Automobile and Light Truck Sales with Indoor Display Only" (AKA a car dealership) because of the State's requirement to obtain a dealership license to operate this business, regardless of the online sales.
The subject property is located south of NE 8th Street, west of NE 1st Avenue, and east of N Dixie Highway in Old Pompano.
