Requested Action        (Identify appropriate Action or Motion)

The applicant, Robert Reid Wedding Architects and Planners on behalf of the property owner 158, Dania, LLC., is requesting incentives, alternate loading standards, a design variation and site plan approval to construct a 111-room hotel at 158 N. Federal Highway.

Description of Action

INCENTIVES

1.         An increase in impervious area by 3%; code requires 10% per Code Section 303.40 (F).

2.         An increase in height to 10 stories to also allow additional hotel rooms; code allows 7 stories (80 feet) per Code Section 303.40.

ALTERNATE LOADING STANDARD

Waive the required loading space; code requires one (1) loading space per Code Section 270.20.

DESIGN VARIATION:

To waive the required 40% of Category 1 trees; code requires 12 of the required trees to be of category 1 per Code Section 275.190 (D).

SITE PLAN

To allow the construction of a new, 10 story, 111-room hotel, 200 sq. ft. of retail use, amenities and associated parking via a garage.

The applicant has requested to increase both the building height and the density throughout the use of incentives per Code Section 305.50 (G). By right, the applicant will be allowed to construct a building with 7 stories, 80 feet tall. Instead, the applicant is proposing a building with 10 stories, 110 feet tall (to the top of the parapet) and 111 rooms. The additional height and density are awarded to the applicant via the incorporation of sustainable development practices, in this case the Florida Green Lodging program by the Florida Department of Environmental protection.  In addition, the incentives section of the code allows the applicant to increase the impervious area of the development by up to 5%. Instead the applicant is seeking to increase the impervious area by 3% to provide a total of 7% pervious area on the project; the code requires 10%.
