Summary:
The applicant (the City) is requesting Major Site Plan approval in order to construct a new consolidated Emergency Operations Center/Fire Administration/Fire Logistic facility and a new parking garage, along with reconfigured surface parking and landscaping. The footprint of the proposed building and parking garage is 49,177 square feet, with the existing buildings of 67,456 for a total footprint area of 116,633 on a 566,195 sq. ft. site (13 acres), a lot coverage of 20.6%. The existing administration building is two stories (134,912 square feet), and the new administration building proposed is three stories totaling 44,676 square feet. The new parking garage will have 200 parking spaces for a total of 347 spaces. This site plan was reviewed by the Development Review Committee on March 3, 2021 and by the Architectural Appearance Committee on April 6, 2021. The site plan was pulled from the April 2021 Planning & Zoning Board agenda by the Project Manager for a redesign to address budget issues. The changes to the project were mostly to the interior of the proposed building, along with a reduction of proposed surface parking spaces.
The property is located on SW 3 St., west of South Cypress Rd.
