A. Request
The Applicant is requesting to change the entitlements for a 27.3 gross acre site, currently home to the Festival Flea Market, located at the southeast corner of W. Sample Road and the Florida Turnpike. The corner of W. Sample Road and NW 27th Avenue will remain a commercial outparcel for a proposed Racetrac Gas Station and Market. The existing Festival Flea Market building on the site will be demolished in order for the new industrial warehouse/distribution project to be constructed.
B. Proposed Development and Net Change in Entitlements
The Applicant is proposing to change the Land Use to Industrial from its current Commercial designation to build a warehouse/distribution use. The Broward County land use plan has the site designated "Commerce" which allows both commercial and industrial land uses so this change on the City's land use map does not require a Broward County land use plan amendment. A change from Commercial to Industrial will always result in a reduction of building square footage entitled and thus a reduction in public facility impacts due to the reduction in intensity between commercial and industrial land use. Commercial land use allows for 60% lot coverage and 105 feet in height (roughly 10-stories) which equates to a FAR of 6. Industrial land use allows for 65% lot coverage but only 45 feet in height (which translates into only 2-stories given the higher height per floor for industrial uses) and this equates to an FAR of only 1.3.
