Let's start here with the location map. Okay, so PP22-0041, LPG Investment and Management Warehouse. The location map shows that the property is located along the Sunrise Boulevard corridor. It's east of University Drive. And you can see that there is a section of Sunrise Boulevard that runs north to south. So the property is located on that north-south section on the east side of Sunrise Boulevard. Next, please. Thank you. The zoning map shows that the property is zoned ILP, which is light industrial. The land use is industrial, and it's approximately 2.3 acres in size. There's an existing office warehouse building on the property, and the address is 6781 West Sunrise Boulevard. The adjacent zoning districts to the north, south, and east, we have ILP, which is light industrial as a proposed or subject property. And to the west, we have RS4K, which is residential single family. The authorized agent is Mark Engel, and he is here tonight. Next, please. So the arrow map shows that the – can I use the clicker with this? No? Oh, I can't use – the pointer, the pointer part of it? Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. There we go. So the subject property is located on the southeast corner of Northwest 16th Street and Sunrise Boulevard. We can see that there's a public notification boundary identified in purple. Any of the properties within the boundary or touching the boundary received a notice informing them of the proposed use, and to date, the planning and zoning staff, we have not received any objections to the proposed use, and 42 notices were sent out. The area is characterized by Northwest 16th Street on the north, and then we have warehouse uses, additional warehouse uses on the east and the south with West Sunrise Boulevard on the west side, and then we have single family homes. Next, please. So the applicant requests number one is for a site plan, elevation, and landscape plan approval to construct a new 14,435-square-foot, one-story industrial warehouse building. Next. So the site plan shows the existing warehouse office building here in blue, and to the north we have the proposed warehouse office building in orange. It should be noted that the buildings are not connected, and they are separate buildings. Access to the site is via Northwest 16th Street on the north, and there are two main entrances and exits to the site. The site plan also shows the surface parking layout. We have a mix of both standard 90-degree parking and angled parking. We have standard 90 degrees along the west, south, and east, and angled parking along the north. And several of these parking spaces will be utilizing a previous paper system. Waste management is the trash pickup for the area, and we see that there is a dumpster enclosure on the east property line. Next, please. So we have some building elevations for the proposed building. This slide shows both the south and east elevation. On the south, it faces interior or the existing building, and the east elevation faces an interior side property line. So the architectural style of the building is pretty linear and contemporary. It will be utilizing colors, finishes, and grays and white, which is the best colors right now, I guess, for everyone. And we see that we have architectural finishes such as textured and smooth tilt-well panels. We have cantilevered aluminum louvered canopies. We have storefront glazing also. The primary majority of the overhead doors will be on the east elevation, which faces an interior side property line. Next, please. So the elevations that faces the north and west face public right-of-ways. On the north, we have northwest 16th Street. There is only one overhead door that faces this public right-of-way. And on the west elevation, which faces Sunrise Boulevard, primarily we see the storefront glazing with the canopies. And the architectural style and the scale of the proposed building is in scale with the adjacent building. Next, please. We have an architectural rendering. So if you're standing on the southeast corner of northwest 16th Street and Sunrise Boulevard, this is the view that you will see with the perimeter buffering, I should say, the landscaping and the building. Next, please. As stated before, the color palette and the material schedule shows that the building has a mixture of colors and materials utilizing textured and smooth finished wall panels and colors in grays and whites. Next, please. So the floor plan for the proposed building shows that there will be five warehouse spaces. One, two, three, four, five. Each warehouse space ranges in size from about 1,400 square feet to just a little over 3,700 square feet. There are also offices in each of these warehouse spaces ranging in size from 266 square feet to about 763 square feet. The floor plan is consistent. The floor plan is consistent with the building elevations in terms of the location of the overhead doors, the storefront glazing, and the canopies. Next, please. So the on-site vehicular circulation and connectivity plan shows that there's both two-way drive aisles and some one-way drive aisles. So along the west, we see there's two-way traffic. On the south, a portion of the east, and along the north, we have one-way traffic. And there is a section along the east drive aisle that shows two-way traffic so you can always utilize these parking spaces and have access to the overhead doors for the warehouse space. I should also let you know that there is an existing sidewalk here along Sunrise Boulevard, and about 500 feet south of this property there is a bus stop. Next, please. So the parking ratio for the warehouse distribution is calculated at one parking space per 1,000 square feet, and for office, it's one parking space per 250 square feet. So based on the proposed warehouse distribution, we have 19 spaces required, and based on the proposed space for the office, 45 spaces are required. So the plan shows that 64 spaces are required, and the proposed development will be meeting those 64 spaces. Four of those will be ADA. Next, please. So the applicant also requests two zoning waivers and three landscape waivers from Chapter 27 of the City Code. Next, please. So the first zoning waiver requires industrial uses between 10,000 square feet and 25,000 square feet to have at least one loading space, one designated and dedicated loading space. The applicant is requesting to provide zero loading spaces, however, they have provided a justification for this in their responses to the practical difficulty waiver. The second waiver from the zoning section 27-300 refers to exterior wall elevations that exceed more than 50 feet in length that should have an eight inch or more offset. The applicant is requesting to allow a portion of that wall, which we see here in blue, which is about 60 feet in length, to be built without the eight inch or more offset. And staff does not have any objections to any of these two waivers. Next, please. So the landscape waivers, there are three in all. The first one refers to the perimeter buffer yard. That is the area, if you focus on the green, one refers to the width and it requires reducing the width on the east and on the south. Five feet is required and they are requesting two feet eight to four feet four inches. And the other refers to the number of trees in the east perimeter buffer yard where six are required. The staff has no objections to these landscape waivers. Next, please. For landscape waiver two, it's required to have an interior landscape island and we're going to focus on the blues here. To be 12 feet wide, the applicant is requesting to have that to be reduced to nine feet in width. And for landscape three, waiver three, which is in orange here, it requires one shade tree for every 30 lineal feet of LPZ. They're required to have five and they're requesting to have three. And there are no objections to these two waivers also. Next, please. The applicant did hold a community meeting at the Central Park on May 18th. And in the backup and notes for that meeting, the applicant indicated that three members of the public were in attendance. As stated before, the planning and zoning staff, we have not received any objections, whether written or via phone calls regarding the proposed application. And at this time, there are no violations issued for the subject site. Next, please. So, in terms of compatibility, staff finds our proposed development. It is compatible with the surrounding development pattern and zoning designation. It meets and is in compliance with the comprehensive plan. And in terms of consistency with the zoning code, it meets section 2750, 2741, and 2752 , which refers to the site development plan sufficiency, notice for zoning measures, and practical difficulty waiver. Next, please. So, in conclusion and based on the findings and conclusions outlined in the staff report, staff recommends approval subject to the staff conditions noted in section VB of the staff report. And the applicant and staff, we are here for questions. All right, perfect. Thank you. First, we'll ask the applicant if there's anything that they want to add, and then we'll move on to questions from the dais. You don't have to. It's just if. All right. So, we'll go straight to questions from the dais. I have one. Traffic pattern. I noticed on the northeast part of the parcel, you have the traffic going in a counterclockwise direction. Traffic coming in off of 16th Street is going east and west. How do you propose to stop traffic from going in that lane and going in the wrong direction? Yes. Hi. I'm Mark Engel, 4800 Southwest 64th Avenue, Davie. I'm the architect. Are you talking about on the rear of the property, the rear of the building? Yeah, right here. Right over here. So, it is a one-way drive. It's an existing, like, 15-foot wide drive. We're going to have do not enter signs right by that dumpster at that to keep people from going back around that direction. Okay. Yep. I have one question, which is, because I know that there's a sidewalk on Sunrise Boulevard, and I see that there's a sidewalk around the building itself, but where do they connect? Like, how would someone get from the bus stop on Sunrise to the front door of one of these buildings? We do not have anything. I don't think there's an existing sidewalk right now to your existing building. That front area is a retention area, so it's depressed. So, we'd have to do something from the corner of 16th and… Right, because I see that there is, like, a sidewalk curve right there. It just stops, like… Right. From there back on 16th, there are no sidewalks. The landscaping actually comes right up to the road at that point in time. So, I guess we could connect from that corner back into the corner of the building there. All right. So, yeah, I would suggest that that's something that you try to meet. Bert. Good evening. Samira Shalan, city engineer. I appreciate the comment. However, this is an industrial park, and we… This board had recommended approval for another self-storage facility, and council had approved it without the sidewalks. So, we would like to be consistent in applying the sidewalk within the industrial park. I don't want to have incomplete sidewalk network. That's number one. Number two, building a sidewalk at the frontage of 16th Street would remove some of the drainage capability for 16th Street. So, I appreciate the connectivity over there, but I'm kind of not encouraging a sidewalk connectivity over there. Sure. And thank you for that, Samira. I'm not going to push too hard on this. I just think that you're going to have some employees, probably, from some of these warehouses who do take the bus, and they're probably going to be walking across that… I think it's a ditch. I don't know the exact term, but… Yeah. They're probably going to be walking across the grass to get to work. Okay. We can look into it. All right. Any other questions from this? If not, then we'll move on to public comment. Is there anyone from the public who wishes to speak? If not, I'll entertain a motion. Second. All right. We have a motion and a second. Can we get a roll call, please? Mr. Speer? Yes. Mr. Stahl? Yes. Ms. Demby-Burger? Yes. Mr. Freeman? Yes. Mr. Plass? Yes. Mr. Goldstein? Yes. Thank you. All right. Now we'll move on to items two and three. I believe that their presentation will be combined. All right. So take it away, Michael. Good evening, board members, city attorney, city clerk, Michael Alpert, assistant director. And we'll just wait a second. Oh, there. Good. Yes. So these two projects, applications PD22-002 and PP22-0039, are being presented under the same PowerPoint presentation, because they are both affecting the same parcels. Next slide, please. The proposed location is south of Peters Road and west of University Drive within an existing office park. Next slide. Here is the aerial view of the parcels affected by both applications as well as the notification area. Next slide. The subject 22.4-acre site is located in the southern portion of the Midtown District. Next slide, please. The applicant is requesting a land use plan amendment to a change from office park to office park and irregular residential 17.7 dwelling units per acre, and a rezoning from office park to planned residential development 24.7 Q. Next slide, please. Here is another view of the subject property. As you can see under the orange area, there are two existing office buildings. The applicant will be proposing, and I'll show you a little bit later, utilizing some of the parking lot to build the residential portion of their proposal. Next slide, please. Next is the future land use map for the entire city. But the next slide, I enlarged it to show you the area that's in the dashed orange area is where the site is. Currently, that land use designation is office park. Next slide, please. This graphic shows the extent of the existing land use. And then the next slide, the graphic shows the extent of the proposed land use, which is about 5.3 net acres for the irregular residential density. Next slide, please. And this is the official zoning map for the entire city. And the next slide will show you an enlarged area. And again, the area that's generally surrounded by that orange dashed line is the current existing of office park plantation. Next slide. And the applicant is proposing PRD 24.7 Q for the 16.1 acre portion of the site. Next slide, please. This is a conceptual site plan to give you an idea of the applicant's proposal. We will not be discussing the site plan tonight, but just so you have the idea, these are the existing office buildings, Aetna's in here. This is their proposed building for 395 units with associated parking garage. Next slide, please. Shown here are the existing and proposed residential projects in the Southern Midtown District. Next slide. The proposed use is compatible with the adjacent land uses, as there has been a considerable amount of residential development taking place in recent years. The developer will need to address their impacts on the existing sanitary sewer infrastructure. A community meeting was conducted on February 13, 2023 at Central Park with no members of the public in attendance. Next slide, please. If the lupa and rezoning are approved, it would permit construction of 325 dwelling units. 395, excuse me. The applicant is requesting a density of 17.7 units per acre on the 22.4 gross acre site. Residential use is permitted in the proposed PRD 24.7 Q zoning district. Staff's recommendation, in the event that the Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval of this request, staff recommends that the applicant incorporate an affordable housing component into the proposed development, address utility department's concerns and comments, and incorporates pedestrian-scale lighting and a bus or ride-sharing shelter adjacent to the property. Staff, next slide. Staff and the applicant are available to answer any questions you may have. All right, thank you. First, I'd like to make a quick Jennings Disclosure. I did meet with the applicant previously, but it won't affect my decision on either of these items. Now, if the applicant wants to add anything to this presentation, they can now. If not, we'll just move on to questions from the day. We can strive, but if it doesn't, then don't worry about it. We have printed copies in here. My name is Bryson Ridgeway. I'm with Intellects Capital. I wanted to first thank you all for the time that you spend on Planning and Zoning Board. I know a lot of time goes into what you do. All I had to do was look through my package, which was something like 200 pages, and then I realized you have multiple projects, you know, week over week. So I really appreciate it, but it has a meaningful impact on our community. You know, the way what's built, where it's built really impacts, you know, how we live, whether it be work, play, residential. So, and then the other part is, you know, I hope for this to be, you know, the first of several meetings. And so I would love to. I just humbly tell you that I have, you know, a very simple mind, right? And so I have just one lens. And so the opportunity to speak with other people and see, you know, how they look at things, it helps me kind of focus on what might be best for the community. So if anyone is interested in talking or setting up an opportunity to talk about this project or future projects, I sincerely would love to get your thoughts on it. Before, you know, board members, before, you know, telling you a little bit about the project, I did want to tell you a little bit about my group. I think it matters, you know, who you're talking to and what their motives are. Our company, just three things about the company, which is small and I started four years ago. The first thing is we have two very simple principles. It's intellectual and moral excellence. The reason those two, you know, intellectual excellence is just being good at what you do, which I think is really important. The second, equally important, is just being a good person, right? So those two combined are great. One of them without the other is, you know, can be quite terrible. And there's examples of that all over the place. So it is our intent to be both morally and intellectually excellent on this project and on multiple projects in the future. The other thing I'd like to tell you about our company, the reason why I started the company, is really to create, promote a new ownership structure for companies to follow, where employees really own a bulk of the value that's created. One of the things that made our country great is just a robust middle class. And the best way to do that is to have the people that are doing the work, taking the value home to their families and distributing it throughout the community in the way that they see fit, not consolidating it in large corporations. And so our company, it's not just, you know, a political thing for me to say. I mean it. And it will sponsor more meaningful relationships. And I actually think it gets the best people to be a part of the company to do their best work, live their best lives. So it's a big part of what we do. And it's the reason why I started the company four years ago. The last thing is there's a lot of things we can do in life, a lot of things that we can do to create value. And so we're really selective about the things that we do. The things that we do, we look for projects that really do leave the community a little bit better. And real estate caught my eye, believe it or not. It's hard for me to believe 25 years ago when I had a chance to be just an ad hoc member, you know, in college on one of the development review boards. So I never had the chance to have a voting role on a zoning board. But I understand how much work goes into what you do. And it's ultimately what led me in the direction I am today. I wanted to tell you a little bit about how this project came to be. It's a slide titled Origin. We purchased an eight-building property, office property, just north on the other side of the lake in 2021. And a good friend said, hey, Bryson, you know, look, now that you all are – and we made some great improvements. We bought it. It was, I think, 65 percent occupied. And now it's 93 percent occupied. I think we've kept every tenant but one or two. So people really have enjoyed the improvements that we've made. And it's a lot of smaller tenants. So great, great, great businesses. But they said, hey, look, you should really read the Midtown Plan if you're going to, you know, be committed to plantation. And so when I did that and I was reading through the Midtown Plan, I liked a lot of what I read, you know, because there's a lot of the reasons why we chose to buy an office property in Midtown. And one of the images that caught my eye was our property. And then across the lake where we look at, you know, we look at an office building. And then we look at this gray asphalt surface parking lot with some trees that have started to die because the property is 35 years old. And the actual Midtown Plan, you know, said, hey, a residential project will be here at some point in time. And we thought, hey, that would be great, you know, it would be a place for people that work at our property to go live. The residents would then visit the restaurants at the, you know, one plantation shops and the fountains. That would create a little bit more robust, you know, restaurant experience, which in turn would be great for our tenants. So we were pretty excited about that. And the thought came, hey, maybe we should look at it and see if it meets our criteria. And so this is the, you know, side that says why we like, you know, Water's Edge. You know, we're pretty, like I said, pretty simple minded, you know. So we just think, hey, what would we want if we were to live somewhere? And ultimately it's just proximity to restaurants. It's proximity to a grocery store. It's proximity to the office. It's proximity to other people, right, to visit friends. And then access to infrastructure, right? So can you get on a highway without having to travel through too many local roads? I think that's both great for a city and great for the people that live there. Because when you, by example, you know, if you're a tenth of a mile away from an exit and you're two miles away from an exit, the person that's two miles spends 20 times as long on the road, which gums up your traffic. So it's smart to consolidate, you know, next to these. That's why the, you know, transfer-oriented development came from. So we focus on sites next to infrastructure. We also focus on sites that have access to lakes and greenways. And so this, we looked at it more like, man, there's a lake here that we could be on. There's a greenway, which, by the way, we'd love to talk about helping to improve, you know, assuming we have, you know, money in the budget to do it because it has been a pretty expensive process, which we'll talk about. But this site just, it just hit on everything for us. And then the Midtown Bridge in the future was just kind of a, hey, this is something that we should see. And so that's how it came to pass our internal test. We also, like I said, it takes a lot of time to do these projects. We want our projects to have a meaningful impact on the community. We thought, hey, what's better than an asphalt parking lot turning into a community that people could live in that would support retail and restaurants and other office properties? We also noticed, just our experience, people don't like to walk across big expanses of, you know, asphalt parking lots. It's hot. It's visually not interesting. You know, it's actually kind of a fascinating study. If you think about it, if you took the same distance but you were walking along, you know, like a row of interesting houses versus just walking across a parking lot, you'd be more inclined to walk down that row of houses than you would just to walk across this, you know, 100-degree parking lot. And so this was an opportunity to fill in a gap and maybe make it feel more connected to these different office buildings. So we liked that a lot. And then, of course, you know, we'll talk about this in a moment. There are the necessary improvements, not only for our property, but the city plantation is fantastic about being forward-thinking. And so, you know, we've been discussing improvements to the sanitary system even beyond our property. I'll show you on another slide. So we thought it was a really good impact on the community. Our project, since we're not talking about the site plan, I do look forward, hopefully, to have an opportunity to come in front of you today. And I hope you'd be okay talking with me so that I could get your insights in the future on the site plan. But our project is 395 units. It's 47 percent one-bedrooms, 47 percent two-bedrooms, and 6 percent three-bedrooms. And I can share information about those unit sizes as they are today, but some of those might change, you know, as we have discussions with the staff. The last thing I wanted to tell you is we purposefully oriented the facades north. The lake is there. And then the other great thing about the northern exposure is that there's no direct radiant heat gain. So we could put – it's a little bit more money, but the one thing that always irritated me when we invested in an existing property were small windows, right? Natural light, bright area space just has such an impact on our – how we feel. Is it – if – I'll wrap up. I don't know if that was a timer. Okay. Actually, I'm so used to – beep! You're done, Bryson. I'll wrap up in two minutes. So, sorry. I know you all have a lot of stuff, and we have a baseball game coming up. But this is facing north, so we tried to take advantage of that. So we've put some larger windows up to let more natural light in, and because they're facing north, the heat gain won't be as significant. So it has a positive impact on HVAC loads, so better for our community. And the last part, you know, this is kind of the one with all the cool – the pictures that look like my daughter colored them in with pinks and greens and blues. These are all the things that we're doing around the property to really improve the community. The turquoise, you know, I don't think we had to do this, but we chose to do it. This was right around when we had the floods and plantation. I think some of us were even sitting here in a meeting. But this is expanding the stormwater drainage district where it's about a half acre that we're digging out of the lake. The yellow is the – the box is a new lift station. The yellow that goes north is a 10-inch force main to Peters. The yellow that goes east is a 12-inch force main that goes from Peters all the way over to Tropical. So, you know, through Royal Palm, all those neighborhoods. They eventually, I think, will have the opportunity to tap into that if their system ever gets degraded. And then the ride – Samira and her team had a great suggestion about a ride share. We wholly endorse that. That's the triangle. And then there were also some other, you know, positive ideas about connecting to the greenway, which we will do no problem. Connecting over to the retail, again, would love to do it. We want people to walk back and forth. And we were already connecting over to the office given that we were right adjacent to them. So – and then the green was – we would love to, if we have some leftover, you know, capital, to improve that greenway. Just, you know, I think it would be great for the residents. It would be great for the community. It's just sad that there's this green strip there that's just, you know, baking in the sun. And the last part is we just want to say, you know, PN's – by the way, kudos. That's an incredibly thorough report, Michael, is one of the best reports that we've read. It's fantastic. We're in agreement. You know, on the summary, they had outlined some recommendations, and we think those recommendations are reasonable. You know, we'd ask if you all were okay that we could, before we go to city council, that we could work with them, city staff and planning and zoning, to adequately address the utilities, to incorporate some more pedestrian, you know, connectivity, even what we outlined. And we'd like to work with them to see how best we can help with workforce housing. All those things – Are you asking for a continuance? No, not a continuance. Oh, okay. Yeah, just saying we agree – You don't need to come back here. No, no. Talk about it, unless you want a continuance. Oh, no. No, thank you for that clarification. Okay. Not asking for a continuance. Okay, okay. But saying we're in agreement that we will address those before we go to city council. All right. Thank you for helping me out. That's right, sir. So – Motion to continue. Yeah. But with that being said, you know, the last slide is, you know, we'd love to have your help. You know, on turning this asphalt parking lot into a meaningful part of the community and here to answer any questions. All right. Thank you. So are there any questions from the days for the – for staff or the applicant? Well, I realize this is a land use plan amendment. Are these going to be rentals or owned by the tenant? These – yeah, these would be rentals. We don't – these would be rentals. But I'd be happy. We did an analysis on whether they could be owned. And I'd be happy to talk about that. It's – they're – unfortunately, the ownership model is just much more expensive, whether it be down payment – whether it be down payments, the cost of the unit, or since the cost of the unit would be the monthly payment as well. Okay. But happy to talk about it. If that's – The other one I have is staff. I know that once this goes to council and if they approve it, it's got to go back to the county, correct? That's correct. Yes. The land use amendment goes to the county as well. Not the rezoning as a city process. Now when they approve it, does this land use plan come back to us or go direct to the council? No, it goes to council for a final reading, yes. Okay. When we get site plan, we come back. Yes, but if the land use is approved and the rezoning is approved, they will come back to this board for their site plan, and then the site plan would continue. And that could take a little while. Yeah. Okay. I've got a couple questions. Sure. The two office parks, are they full capacity as far as businesses? Yeah, it's a good question. Everyone always asks me about office. I don't think office is dead. They've been doing better. The two that are right next to this site, they've improved to around 80% occupancy. They ended up signing some larger tenants. I think one was the FAA, so they had a GSA sign. I can't remember the other. It may have been medically oriented. And then the crossroads projects that are a little bit for the north, they've done okay, not as well. But then the, like your premier, the cornerstone one, Royal Palm one and two, they've actually done pretty good. There's really demand. There is demand for office, high-quality office and plantation. Yeah, but as far as these two buildings here, I mean, they don't need that extra space? Oh, that's a great question. Oh, for the parking. Yeah. Yeah, so. Are they full that they need it, or? Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't. So when that project was built decades ago, they built it to 5 point, I think, it's like 5.35 per 1,000 parking. And market rate for them today is they need 4. So we have the ability to take some of that parking away. We do incorporate having to replace some parking in that parking deck. But one of the things that we look for is a shared parking, because it's just such a waste of concrete, cement, all that other stuff to have to build, you know, for parking spaces that are going to remain empty. So office and residential have their peak times for parking. They don't match up, meaning you can share a lot of parking spaces. So we share, I want to say, somewhere around. I can come back with a specific number, but it's around like 15%, 20% of our spaces. No, that's fine. So if you, on these apartments in your parking garage you're going to build, how many units per space, like parking space? Oh, yeah, yeah. So you're telling me, obviously, one bedroom is just one, and two bedrooms are getting two spots, or how's it all working? That's a great question. So on average, there's around 1.75 for the whole property. There's a little bit more. I think it's like 1.3 on average. I have to go back and look at my notes, but it's a little bit more than one for one bedrooms. And then I think it's 1.75 for two bedrooms, then two. Michael, you may know the code, but I think that, is that being revised, the parking? So we ran it off of the old parking code. When we come back for site plan, we would love to discuss that, assuming that you allowed us to do that. We would love to discuss that more because we think we could build less parking, and it would be sufficient. Less parking? Yeah. Anyone else? Josh? I guess my question is for city staff. So when this goes to the county, right, obviously the policy at the county for the land use plan is if they add 100 more units, there's a review of the affordable housing, right? Yes. I assume that we don't, that the city doesn't meet the criteria for having enough affordable housing. That's correct. So do we have to show that we have some sort of plan to meet that? Have we done that review recently, and do we know how that would go when it gets to the county? So when it does go before the county staff and the county commission, yes, that will be a comment. And actually, there's someone here from the applicant that could probably address that. But yes, they would contact the city and ask us to verify how much affordable housing we do have, which, as we all know, is not sufficient. So that's part of their review process, absolutely. And if I may touch on the parking question, Sean, that you had, most of the office parks built in the 80s were built or over-parked. You'll see, not just in plantation but in many cities, a lot of empty spaces in those parking lots. So we are very comfortable with the share here where most of the residents would be parked at night, most of the office workers would be parked in the daytime. We're not concerned about that aspect. As far as the parking designated for the future residential units that they're proposing, we are taking a look at what it is now, what the trends are now. And that's, yeah. So you're telling me that you're saying, okay, during the day it's probably enough parking for, you know, for the office workers, but at night you're going to tell me that some of the residents in this apartment complex will be able to use or will share the parking from the office and not everybody be able to park in the parking garage? I believe their site plan is showing that they're going to meet code with the parking that they're, with the garage parking deck itself. But if needed, there would be overflow with the surface parking. But in both cases, the office market has changed, the residential market and trends have changed. So we are looking, and this will come before you soon, a parking ordinance where we're going to look at all the different types of uses and the amount of parking that we believe should be required. So we're looking at that. Okay. This is a comment for city staff, I guess. So in my previous life at DOT, I know that we'd had some conversations with city representatives in Broward County about full or partial signal control on University Drive at 13th Street. And I'm not sure where that stands now, but we were sort of waiting for the tipping point of development in Midtown to generate enough traffic volume to warrant some sort of signal control at that location that's just north of the on-ramp to 95 for Southpond traffic. So, again, I don't know if there's a plan to, at some point, there's enough traffic generated internal to Midtown that the city would approach the county and or the department to say, you know, we need to take a look at traffic control there and that potentially on Peters Road at whatever the intersection to the west of the university is. So I'm just putting it out there. And I think it might not be a bad idea if you're able to keep DOT at least up to date on the potential for future developments such as this so that they're aware of and can be more proactive in terms of looking at, say, 13th and University Drive. Absolutely. And, yes, that's always the case, especially in the Midtown redevelopment, that at some point it's going to reach a threshold where signalization becomes a major factor. So, yes. All right. I have one question, which I don't know if this is for the applicant or for staff, but I'm seeing the creation of a new, not just the land use, but a new zone for our zoning code. And my question is, I guess, why aren't we using the MPM zone, which allows all these uses already? Like, why create an extra three pages in our zoning code when we don't have to? Should I sing the song from Fiddler on the Roof tradition? Actually, we are looking at that, and it will come before you probably sometime next year. We're looking at consolidating a lot of our zoning districts. So this has been the, I guess, the tradition of these types of developments where they would become a planned residential development with the density shown in the zoning district. Normally, density is shown on the land use plan, not in a zoning district. So I think when we start consolidating these districts, some of these will be rezoned to midtown or TOD or something like that. Okay. Because we are encouraging mixed use. Right. So that would override in the future, if that happens, that would override this? Yes. Zone being created? Yes. Okay. All right. That's it for me. I'm going to open it up to the public comment now, if there's anyone who wishes to speak. Hi. Matthew McIntosh, 601 Northwest 82nd Avenue, Plantation, Florida. I live in the town district, and I think this is a good development overall. It's definitely something I've heard a lot about. People, we need more housing, how unaffordable housing is. I live in a newer apartment. I know it's very expensive. That's partly because there has been a lot of apartments being built until very recently. So I think developments like this will help a lot with the housing crisis. And so, you know, one day we won't have like city council meetings where there's people coming in and saying that they can't afford rent anymore. I think projects like this will make that difference. And I do like the location. It is in walking distance of places I currently drive to. One day when the criminal plan gets implemented, I'm hoping I can just take the bus instead. Or if I lived somewhere like there, I can walk to it. So I think overall this is a good project. Anyone else from the public who wish to speak? I'll entertain a motion. All right. So first a motion for item number two, which is the land use plan amendment. I'll move it with staff comments. Second. All right. All right. Can we please call the roll? Mr. Spear? Yes. Mr. Stahl? Yes. Mr. Demby Berger? Yes. Mr. O'Brien? Yes. Mr. Freeman? Yes. Mr. Plass? Yes. Mr. Goldstein? Yes. Thank you. All right. Is there any public comment for item number three, which is the rezoning request? Seeing none, let's get a motion for item number three. Move to approve subject staff. I'm sorry. Who was the second? Second. Okay. All right. Can we please call the roll? Mr. Spear? Yes. Mr. Stahl? Yes. Mr. O'Brien? Yes. Mr. Freeman? Yes. Mr. Plass? Yes. Mr. Goldstein? Yes. Thank you. Thank you for coming. All right. So now we're moving on to other business. Michael, is there anything that you want to let us know about? See you on November 7th. All right. Since we've exhausted the agenda, we're adjourning this Planning and Zoning Board meeting at 7.03. Most of the room. Thank you for coming. Yes. I'm here for next. We'll have to move on. Here we go. See you. I'll be right back. Thanks. I'm here for now. Thank you. Chance. What do I do? This is great. I'll be off. Let this guy go ahead. I'll be right back. You can just say that you're talking about the code. You can just switch it up, then you can just turn out a little hint.
