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 of Pompano Beach Zoning Code in order to construct a temporary deck over existing asphalt for outdoor dining at an existing restaurant without complying with the applicable use and development standards as required by Code.
The subject property is located in the East CRA, on the south side of E Atlantic Boulevard, and the west side of 28th Avenue.
PROPERTY INFORMATION
1. The subject property has an active Business Tax Receipt for a restaurant (Flamingo Seafood).
2. The property is located on the site of a former gas station that is part of the overall Atlantic Square Plaza. The property will likely be redeveloped in the next few years, which is predominately why the applicant is seeking temporary relief rather than going through formal DRC site plan review.
3. The 5,675 sq ft wooden deck is proposed along the front of the property facing Atlantic Boulevard with Cocoplum shrubs in planters and a 36 inch railing along the deck's perimeter to provide appropriate separation from the vehicular use area.
4. Staff concurs with the applicant's assertion that the deck will actually improve overall safety as many motorists currently use the property as a "cut through" and make illegal U-turns at Atlantic Boulevard and SE 28th Avenue.
