Title
ZV 2019-15, Flamingo Road Business Center, generally located on the southeast corner of Flamingo Road and SW 18 Street, variance request. (Dean)
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Moe Azar, Saltz Michelson Architects (as agent), is requesting a variance for the Flamingo Road Business Center to allow a 9’-0” front/street side landscaped buffer along the west side of the property instead of the required 15’ front/street side landscaped buffer
On April 27, 2017 the Planning & Zoning Board approved Variance #ZV 2017-06 allowing a 14’ Landscape Buffer along the west side property line instead of the required 15’ landscape buffer. Exhibits submitted with this variance request and the proposed Site Plan (SP 2017-16) showed this Landscape Buffer as existing at 14’ wide.
However, when the final survey was submitted to receive a Certificate of Occupancy for the building at this location, this Landscape Buffer was shown at 9’ wide. Review of Broward County Property Appraiser web site aerials revealed this buffer was always existing at nine (9) feet wide and it was determined that the documentation submitted for the variance and site plan approvals was incorrect.
The agent for this project has submitted Variance request ZV 2019-15 to correct this error.
VARIANCE REQUEST DETAILS:
ZV 2019-15) Allow a 9’-0” landscape buffer along the west side (street side yard) of the property instead of the required 15’ landscaped buffers.
