ZV(R)2025-0039 & 0040
Pablo Atehortua & Beatriz Posada
17010 NW 20 Street (District 3)
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Pablo Atehortua, owner, submitted two residential zoning variance requests to legalize an existing driveway for the property located at 17010 NW 20 Street. The property is part of the Pembroke Isles Planned Unit Development (PUD) and follows the guidelines for single-family homes, zero lot line. The PUD does not address front lot coverage and driveway width; therefore, the provisions of the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) are applicable.
On May 5, 2025, the City’s Code Compliance cited the property for work done without building permits (Case No. 250501623)
As result of the existing work at the property, the petitioner is presenting a plan depicting existing conditions at the property for the following requests:
· ZV(R)2025-0039: to allow 65% front lot coverage (total) instead of the allowed 40% front lot coverage (total) for an existing driveway in a single-family residential, zero lot.
· ZV(R)2025-0040: to allow 60% width of lot instead of the allowed 40% width of lot for an existing driveway in a single-family residential, zero lot.
Per staff review of the city’s archives, no permit information can be found for the existing driveway at the property; nevertheless, per Broward County Property Appraiser Imagery, the driveway’s footprint had existed in similar shape since at least December 2011 (See property changes).
The applicant is aware that Board consideration of a residential variance request does not preclude the property owner from obtaining all necessary development related approvals or permits.
The subject property in the Pembroke Isles, the owner provided HOA Letters, dated October 25, 2025.
