SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:

Pottery Barn will be located within building 10,000.
The Shops at Pembroke Gardens was approved through SP 2005-36. An amendment was made to the site plan in 2006 (SP 2006-27, Architectural changes). On August 6, 2025, the City Commission approved ZC2024-0002, amending the zoning designation from PCD (Planned Commercial Development) to MXD (Mixed Use Development). At the same hearing, the Commission also approved ZC2024-0003, amending the Planned District Guidelines.
Architectural modifications were last made to the tenant bay in 2007 (MSC 2007-53). The tenant bay is now being divided into two separate bays 14570 and 14572. Pottery Barn is taking over Bay 14572. West Elm is taking over 14570 and will be processed under a separate application.
