-The recorded plat uploaded with this submittal ("Hurok Plat" - PB 183, Pg 446; Instrument #116838404) is the subject property for this development. The property in question has an approved Plat limiting the use to 80,000 square feet of commercial use. The size of the proposed building (54,200 square feet) does not exceed 80,000 square feet.
-The City Commission approved a plat (P&Z: 18-14000003) by Resolution 2019-244. The plat note restricted parcel to 80,000 square feet of commercial use.
-Land use for this parcel is Commercial, the zoning is B-3 (General Business).
-The property is accessed from N Powerline Road. The property is within a non-residential zoning district and specifically listed on the Broward County Trafficways Plan and Code of Ordinances (100.01 Minimum right-of-way), requiring a minimum right-of-way of 144 feet. A roadway easement has been noted on the site plan; however, the City''s zoning regulations (155.5704) requires that right-of-way be dedicated with a Major Site Plan application.
-The street to the south (NW 9 Street) is not listed in 100.01, nor is it on the Broward County Trafficways Plan, thus the 30 feet dedicated is sufficient.
-The city has sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposal.

Surveillance: Natural and Electronic
• Ensure electronic surveillance cameras and monitors are strategically located for maximum active and passive observation. Show sight ''cones'' indicating comprehensive coverage.
• Ensure all cameras are strategically placed so they will not be obstructed by the growth of future landscaping.
•Interior and all entrances, exits including service doors must have surveillance camera coverage.
•Design inventory storage and displays to avoid obstructing clear sight lines from employees and surveillance cameras.
•Any potentially vulnerable areas that cannot be covered by electronic monitoring should be wither view-able via natural surveillance or checked frequently by employees.
•
All secure office doors and any service doors must have either a reinforced security window or a 180 degree wide angle ''peephole'' door viewer.
•Post signage in parking areas forbidding vehicles other than customers to park and loiter in private parking lot.

b. Ensure all exterior water outlet spigots have a secure locking cap to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc. who loiter and trespass to wash themselves and their clothes, and who leave soiled clothing and lots of litter behind.
CRA
Plan Reviewer: Kimberly Vazquez (kimberly.vazquez@copbfl.com)
Status: Review Complete Pending Development Order
The operations of Atlantic Stone and Marble is defined in Response 20-12000015, Major Administrative Parking Adjustment Request as "showroom retail display that is integral to a large bulk storage space which constitutes the majority of the buildings footprint." This use would be more appropriate as permitted in a B4 zoning district.
In the Hurok Plat Request to the Planning Board dated February 16, 2019, staff defined the Applicant''s Interpretation Application submittal as a "Retail Sales Establishment, Large." The use described in the narrative stated the operations for this business stand apart from industrial or warehouse use with a primary focus being that of customers and transactions that are retail to the customer. If Atlantic Stone were to vacate the structure, the City would be left with a large scale retail sales building with inadequate parking. The CRA does not support a 36% reduction in parking as retail uses would require more parking than what is being proposed.
