SUMMARY:
The applicant, Richard Berrie of Berrie Architecture & Design, Inc, on behalf of Atlantic 3350 LLC is requesting Major Building Design approval for a new 21 story mixed-use development inclusive of 77 multifamily units, 110 Hotel Suites, Restaurant and Retail space, along with associated amenities, parking, landscaping, and streetscape improvements. The development incorporates the existing Walgreens retail store, remodeling the façade while improving the parking and landscaping. The property is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Atlantic Blvd and State Road A-1-A (AKA: Ocean Blvd) that currently contains three commercial/retail buildings with only the Walgreens proposed to remain. The unified property has land area of 2.08 acres or 90,794 square feet. The project proposes a lot coverage of 68% with a building footprint of 62,016 square feet.
The project requires Major Site Plan approval as it is a new development with more than 15 multifamily dwelling units. The property has a Commercial land use designation and a Zoning designation of B-3/AOD/PCD, which allows the multi-family residential use, as long as an allocation of flex units is approved to provide the residential entitlements. The flex allocation has been approved by the City Commission with Resolution 2019-270. The site plans were reviewed by the Development Review Committee most recently on November 18, 2020 and received a Development Order from the Architectural Appearance Committee on January 5, 2020.
