Body
Request Action:
The Petitioner is requesting a Special Exception Use for a Residential Multi Family Development with 385 dwelling units and inclusive of a Day Care Center of no larger than 3,300 square feet. The City Commission originally granted the Applicant special exception approval (Resolution NO. 19R-12-275) for a multi-family development allowing the construction of 358 dwelling units, the request reflects an increase of 27 units.
Need Summary Explanation/ Background:
A Special Exception Use is an application that requires approval from the City Commission to allows a particular use or activity that is conditionally permitted within a zoning district, provided it meets specific standards and criteria established in the Land Development Regulations (LDR). Unlike a rezoning, it does not change the property's zoning classification but evaluates whether the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area and serves the public interest. Approval is contingent upon the City Commission at a duly noticed public hearing, provided that the Applicant demonstrates approval of all the criteria. Approval of any special exception use application shall require four (4) votes by the City Commission. In the event that there shall be a quorum of fewer than four (4) Commissioners, approval must then be unanimous.
The subject property is located on the east side of NW 40th AVE (AKA: North State Road 7/ US 441) and north of NW 13 ST and the Central Broward Regional Park (CBPR). The project previously received approvals to construct 330 dwelling units, and the Applicant has received approvals for those plans, which is currently under construction. After commencing construction, a new developer acquired the project and redesigned a portion of the site keeping the southern portion of the site untouched, and redesigning the rest of the buildings to accommodate the additional units.
The Applicant held a public meeting on May 28 & June 2nd, to the West Ken Lark HOA & United Lauderhill HOA, respectively. Staff recommends approval of the special exception, subject to seven conditions that must be addressed prior to building permit approval.
1. This Special Exception Use development order for a Multifamily Dwelling Units, Attached Use shall be specifically granted to Le Parc at Lauderhill, LLC
2. A Site Plan Modification Approval is required from the Planning & Zoning Board (P&ZB), and subsequently the City Commission, for the proposed Multifamily Development in order to increase the number of dwelling units from 358 to 385.
3. The owner shall execute a trespass agreement for the police department to keep on file for enforcement.
4. The property management office will operate Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
5. If there are any code enforcement violations or liens, this Special Exception Use Development Order may be brought before the City Commission to be reconsidered, at which time the development order, or the conditions of approval, may be subject to modification, suspension and/or revocation.
6. Any violation of these conditions of approval may result in a public hearing before the City Commission and may result in the modification, suspension or revocation of this special exception use development order or its conditions or both.
7. Any special exception approval granted by the City Commission shall expire one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of approval, unless a site plan modification is submitted and subsequently approved within the one hundred eighty-day period.
