AGENDA ITEM REQUEST FORM
COMMISSION MEETING DATE:  11/7/2018
REQUESTED ACTION BY COMMISSION:  Approve 1320 S. Federal Hwy. Office Building Height Exception (HTEX 18-001) to construct an office building in a MU-1 (Mixed Use 1) zoning district with architectural features up to 54’-10” in height, 9’-10” above the maximum allowable height.  Applicant: Exsorro One, Inc. (Item should be heard but tabled to November 7th so that final action is taken concurrent with final action taken on the corresponding ordinances)
EXPLANATION OF REQUEST: 

The proposed building is designed as a three (3)-story structure with roof access, a parapet wall and architectural feature extending past the third story. The main entrance to the building is at the corner of Federal Highway and Riviera Drive. The building is placed so that it fronts Federal Highway with an extensive setback to the residential neighborhood located to the east of the site. The building occupies most of the frontage of the site and has the vehicular circulation, including the parking and drop off area, contained behind the building.

 

The proposed building elevations (Sheet A1.2) depict the typical flat roof deck height as 40’-8”, with typical parapet walls at approximately 44’-8” feet. Tower elements and architectural features are proposed to extend up to 54’-10” in height, 9’-10” above the maximum allowable height in the MU-1 zoning district. The plans indicate that the requested height exception is not necessary for the entire roof of the proposed structure, but only relatively small areas near the north and south ends of the building.

 

The Planning and Development Board recommended approval of the item at the September 25, 2018 meeting.
