Summary:
The applicant is requesting Major Site Plan approval in order to construct an Amazon Distribution Station. The project includes modifications to an approved site plan at Rock Lake Business Center (PZ: 16-12000049). Revisions to the site plan include adding surface parking in lieu of two unconstructed warehouse buildings, and changes to vehicular movement patterns, landscaping and loading. The original site plan included four warehouse buildings, of which two were constructed. One of the buildings (Building D) will be converted into the Delivery Station, and the other building (Building B) will be used for interior parking and van queuing.
The site plan was reviewed by the Development Review Committee on August 19, 2020 and October 21,2020.
The property is located east of the Florida Turnpike and south of NW 33 St.
