SUBJECT: Cindy Meyer, Hollywood Investments, Inc. requests the following at property located on the north side of Dania Beach Boulevard extending between US 1 and NE 1st Court (Pirates Inn/Fish Grill and adjacent properties). 5E-03-06 - Special Exception request to allocate 305 Local Activity Center ("LAC") dwelling units to construct a mixed-use residential/commercial development. VA-03-06 - Variance Requests: 1) 140 foot building height (ceiling of highest floor) (Maximum height in C-2 is 40 feet). 2) Tandem/stacked parking spaces for apartments (Tandem parking prohibited). 3) Tandem/stacked parking spaces for retail/restaurant (Tandem parking prohibited). 4) Variance to waive pervious area requirement (Code requires 15% - 30%). 5) Variance to reduce required overall project parking by 26.3 % (829 spaces required by parking code; 611 spaces provided on plan). VC-03-06: Request to vacate (and close street) for a portion of NE 1st Avenue generally located between the Pirates Inn and the former Fish Grill properties. Request to vacate a 15 foot alley located on the former Fish Grill site and a 1 1/2 foot wide utility easement. SP-03-06 - Site Plan Approval for a mixed-use condominium (305 dwelling units; 10,000 sq. ft. retail, 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant) 1 Project Description: The subject parcel is zoned commercial (C-2), has a Local Activity Center (LAC) land use designation, and is located in the center of the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). Currently, the property (approx. 2.26 net acres; approx. 3.15 gross acres) is occupied by the Pirates Inn Hotel, retail stores north of the hotel fronting US 1, and the site of the former Fish Grill Restaurant. The building is about 400 feet long (two blocks) abutting Dania Beach Boulevard and about 200 feet long abutting US 1. The building elevations show a 140 (ceiling of top floor) - 150 (roof) high building. The plan shows 305 dwelling units (or 99 units/acre) and approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of retail (including 10,000 sq. ft. of restaurant area). One bedroom and studio apartments comprise nearly 50% of the dwelling units; the other 50% consists of two-bedroom apartments. Apartment sizes vary between 600 to 900 square feet. Building height (14 stories), density (99 units/acre), and uses (retail/restaurant/condo) are consistent with City Commission CRA Zoning recommendations at this location. Architecture is at the discretion of the City Commission. Adjacent Properties: Zoning, Future Land Use, and existing uses are indicated for adjacent properties. Zoning/ Existing Use CRA Plan North Commercial (C-2) Retail, Office, and Local Activity Center Warehouse East Commercial (C-2) Office, Residential, Local Activity Center and Vacant South Commercial (C-2) Gas Station, Hotel, Local Activity Center and Retail West Commercial (C-2) Retail Local Activity Center As indicated above, the site is surrounded by properties designated as Local Activity Center. The closest residential zoning is RD-8000 (Duplex); located north of the project on the east side of NE 1st Court. No single family zoning abuts the site. Traffic: 1 . This project is much larger than the existing buildings and can be expected to generate more traffic on US 1, Dania Beach Boulevard, NE 1st Avenue, NE 1st Court, and NE 1st Street in the vicinity of the project. As such, the plans and applicant's traffic impact study were referred to the City's Traffic Consultant, Tinter and Associates, for review and comment. 2 Tinter concludes that "while adequate operating conditions will be maintained along the adjacent roadway system through build-out in 2008, there our still outstanding issues to be addressed relative to the ground floor site plan." Ground floor site plan issues are discussed in the following paragraph. Site Plan: The site plan submittal is not complete. As such, staff and city consultants cannot determine if a several site plan, city code, and zoning code requirements have been met. Major unresolved issues include the following based on plans submitted on June 16, 2006: . a) Adequate loading/unloading (capacity, accessibility). b) Adequate garbage collection (capacity, accessibility, and removal). c) Restaurant/retail service accessibility. e) Emergency vehicle access. f) 'Building setbacks (north lot line only). g) In-bound vehicle stacking and interior traffic flow. h) 2 Parking structure geometry. i) Parking structure column location. j) Unit owner laundry facilities. k) 3 Incorrect parking data on site plan. 1) Condominium disclosure language (airport location, developer/unit owner rental restrictions, absence of guest parking, tandem spaces for two bedroom units, etc.). ' Building elevations show apartment balconies within 14' of the existing building to the north. Detailed north building elevations necessary to evaluate adequacy of 10 foot setback for dwelling units facing north lot line. 2 Building cross-section shows less than 6 feet of vertical clearance leading to the top floor of the parking structure (Minimum 7' 2" required). 3 Architect's parking data incorrectly understates required parking by 30 spaces. PARKING VARIANCES: The applicant has requested a 26% parking variance (from 829 spaces to 611 spaces). The reduction is due primarily to: 1) Applicant reducing required restaurant parking by 40% (104 spaces provided; 175 spaces required by code). 2) Applicant eliminating condominium guest parking entirely. 3 Also, most parking spaces are tandem (back-to-back). Tandem parking requires the car closest to the drive aisle to be backed out (temporarily blocking the drive aisle) in order to remove the inner car. Tandem parking is not permitted by code'and requires a variance. The parking arrangement and variances have been submitted to City Traffic Consultant Tinter and Associates for review and recommendation. Tinter Parking Recommendation Summary: Based on current plans and applicant's parking analysis, Tinter supports a 22% parking variance, less than requested by the applicant but still significant. This requires adding 40 more spaces to the current plan. Tinter's recommendation is subject to 24/7 valet and condominium language disclosing to condo buyers that "designated guest parking is not provided and limited valet guest parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis." Applicant has offered to install hydraulic car stacks within existing parking spaces to reduce the 40 space parking deficit. With stacked spaces, the lower car must be backed out into the drive aisle while the stacked car' is lowered and removed. Tinter indicates only 27 parking spaces meet the height and location criteria for stacked parking; leaving a 13 space deficit. If the City Commission were to approve the applicant's stacked space concept, approximately 139 valet and 30 self-park spaces will be available for retail, restaurant, and condo guest parking. Due to limited self-park spaces, this parking arrangement will only work if the valet operation is efficient and highly utilized. Park Dedication: The applicant is required to dedicate 6% of the site (or provide a park fee equivalent in value to 6% of the site). The fee may be based on an appraisal or an amount agreed to by the City Commission and the applicant. Staff has requested the applicant provide an appraisal or submit a proposal to the City Commission regarding the value of the property today. Building Appearance: The applicant has provided two color architectural renderings with different color schemes. Also, applicant has shown architectural features on public property (clock tower, fountains) that may require relocation or modification to accommodate ADA requirements. Final approval of building design is at the discretion of the City Commission. NE 1ST AVENUE VACATION. The applicant proposes vacating a portion of NE 1st Street north of Dania Beach Boulevard to create a single development parcel (see attached location map). The site plan shows a driveway connecting NE 15t Avenue to NE 1st Court. 4 The City's Engineering Consultant has indicates that Bellsouth, FPL, and Comcast have no objection to the proposed NE 1st Avenue vacation. However, the Engineering Consultant has requested a dedicated easement and easement plan for electrical, telecommunication, water, wastewater, gas, cable TV and other pipe lines. The easement has not yet been provided. PLANNING AND ZONING RECOMMENDATION 1) Special Exception Approval: Approval for 300 - 360 units subject to the applicant addressing variance, site plan, and traffic issues. Staff Comment: Approval for 305 dwelling units as per P and Z Board recommendation, subject to the Exhibit A conditions and agreement by applicant's attorney that significant changes to building elevations (as determined by the Community Development Director) will require re- approval by the City Commission. 2) Building Height Variance: Approval in concept. Staff Comment: Approval as per P and Z Board recommendation, subject to Exhibit A Conditions. 3) Pervious Area Variance: Approval in concept. Staff Comment: Approval as per P and Z Board recommendation, subject to Exhibit A Conditions. 4) 26% Parking Variance, Tandem Space Use Variance: Denial, unless applicant can provide technical justification such that city traffic consultant can support the variances. Staff Comment: The applicant has not provided 40 additional parking spaces as recommended by the city traffic consultant. Based on the P and Z Board recommendation, staff cannot support the parking variance due to the 13 - 40 space parking deficit as identified in Tinter's report. If the City Commission chooses to grant the requested variance, said approval shall be subject to the conditions reflected on page 3 in the June 16, 2006 Tinter report. 5 Provided however, if the city manager or city commission. determines at any time within the 18 month period that project parking is intruding into the adjacent neighborhood on a regular basis, either the manager of commission can require the installation of car stack spaces within 90 - 120 days of said determination. 5) Site Plan: Approval in concept, provided applicant submits a finished, complete site plan addressing the conditions in this report and any other issues that may arise once the applicant has submitted a complete package. Staff Comment: As of June 1.9, 2006, applicant has not yet submitted a finished, complete site plan package addressing conditions in the P and Z report as well as comments dating back to December 2005. Based on the P and Z Board recommendation, staff cannot support site plan approval at this time. If the City Commission wishes to grant site plan approval, such approval shall be subject to: submission of a complete, clear, correctly and consistently prepared site, landscape, civil, floor, and building elevations addressing all unresolved issues (Exhibit A) and complying with all site plan, zoning, building, civil engineering, landscape requirements. Approval should also be subject to approval of the above special exception and variances conditions reference above. 6) Request to vacate (and close street) for a portion of NE 1 Avenue, a 15 foot alley, and 1 1/2 foot wide utility easement. Approval. Staff Comment: Approval as per P and Z Board, subject to: 1) Fee simple property owner providing dedicated easement and easement plan for electrical, telecommunication, water, wastewater, gas, cable 7V and other pipe lines prior to effective date of street vacation. 2) Effective date of NW 1st Avenue vacation to be deferred until developer has complied with requirements for issuance of a development or building permit. 7) Determination of current land value for purposes of park impact fee. Staff Comment: At the discretion of the City Commission. 6 EXHIBIT A: APPROVAL CONDITIONS* ONE DANIA BEACH/CASA BENI .DUNE 27, 2006 *Applicant shall address and resolve conditions prior to issuance of any building or infrastructure permits.

The curb to building setback vary from 10'-20' (12' along US 1). The City Commission recommends 15 feet along US 1 and 20 feet along DBB. RESPONSE:The setbacks on all sides of the project are at a minimum of 10' as indicated. Further discussion regarding this comment was provided in a letter from Bonnie Miskel to Larry Leeds,dated 6- 12-06. 9. Your parking analysis is flawed in its reference to shared parking. We have applied shared parking in Dania(two different locations)where any space can be used by any resident,guest,or customer or peak period for each use are staggered. This is not the case here. RESPONSE:Cathy Sweetapple has responded directly to this comment in previous info provided on June 8th. 10. Your client has not been following up with fire-rescue,and it is unclear if the architect evaluated column size and location relative to the building code(I suggest contacting Chief Cassano or Chief Land at Fire Rescue to facilitate their review). RESPONSE: We received fire department comments relative to their review of the plans we submitted on March 21,2006 on June 8,2006. We noted there are many comments general in nature and appear applicable to current plans.Therefore,we attach below our responses to those comments. 11. While your loading spaces meet code,I will defer to Dennis Miller to advise if the 38' truck depth is sufficient to accommodate moving vans.- RESPONSE: We await further comments from Dennis Miller. 12. No reference is made to vertical clearance on the first floor re moving vans,garbage trucks, EMS. You may lose even more parking spaces to accommodate these facilities- RESPONSE:Notes have been added to the plans to more clearly indicate these height clearances and also that they meet or exceed the 14' requirement of Fire and EMS vehicles and loading docks and the 12' transformer vault typically required. We have also attached hereto a two cross section sheets A3.01 (EAST-WEST SECTION)&A3.02(NORTH-SOUTH SECTION)for review. These revisions are also indicated on Ground Floor Level 1 Plan A1.01.and can also be noted on the attached elevations. Response to Comments Received from City of Dania Beach Fire Rescue-Plan Reviewer Sean Brown on June 7,2006. 1.

Response to Comments Received from Larry Leeds on June.14,2006; I met with Dennis Miller yesterday to discuss traffic. We still have problems with the current plan, including but not limited to, the following: 1) We faxed Dennis Miller's May 25 traffic comments to Bonnie. Among other things,Dennis requested a revised first floor plan drawn with an engineer's scale so he could confirm if the valet parking works (turning radii issues);including sufficient stacking. This information was never provided. RESPONSE: Attached herewith are two(2)copies of the ground level plan at 1"=20' (engineering scale) provided by Arquitectonica.One to be distributed to Dennis Miller of Tinter and One as copy for Larry Leeds. 2) Dennis tells me that he also cannot confirm if the 35'long loading spaces are accessible by moving vans,garbage trucks,etc. (see comment 1 above). RESPONSE:We have shown the turning arcs for the loading bays on the attached architectural plans provided by Arquitectonica also this may also be confirmed with the attached 1:20 plan provided by Arquitectonica. 3) Dennis confirmed that the architect's site plan parking calculations table still contains errors. For purposes of our calculations,Dennis is relying on information provided by Traffic Engineer Cathy Sweetapple. RESPONSE:We have confirmed parking calculations and accurate information is shown on attached architectural plans provided by Arquitectonica and has verified this information concurs with the data provided by Traffic Engineer Cathy Sweetapple. 4) Based on our conversations(nothing is shown on the plan),I do not believe you will have sufficient room to meet the sanitation requirements of 305 apartments,10,000 sq.ft. of retail,and 10,000 square feet of"full service"restaurants. Due to health/safety concerns,we will need this information shown on the FTL:1810571:1 RUDEN, McCLOSKY, SMITH, SCHUSTER & RUSSELL, P.A.

Dania Beach'Boulevard Dania Beach, FL 33004 RE: ONE DANIA BEACH DANIA BEACH BLVD. @ FEDERAL HIGHWAY(US 1) CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA TINTER ASSOCIATES PROJECT NO. 04-2057E Dear Mr. Leeds: I have completed a review of the supplemental data provided relative to the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) as revised March 2006 by Cathy Sweetappte & Associates. In addition, I have reviewed the site plan prepared by Arquitectonica dated June 5, 2006 as it relates to parking needs and circulation. With regards to on site circulation, the last issue to be resolved is the loading areas and the valet areas. We had made a previous request from the Applicant through your office relative to these areas. Basically, how does the loading zone function? Does it ramp up to a dock or is it at finished floor elevation. Is it pull in or back in? Since the plan is prepared in architectural scale, this office was not able to check vehicle path turning radii at the loading and valet areas. It was requested that the applicant should provide vehicle turning paths on the plan at the loading area, entering and existing the drop off pick up area and entering and exiting the valet area. The supplemental data provided address the Applicants request for a reduction of Code required parking. This data as provided cites Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) parking generation rates to assess the current Code required rates. The applicant has supplied sufficient data relative to a reduction of the parking requirements. Table 1, attached hereto summarizes the Applicant's analysis. AS noted the Applicant is proposing a change to the residential rates by eliminating a parking rate for residential guests. Also there was some modification to the restaurant rate. As Table 1 shows, Code required parking mandates the need for 829 parking spaces. The applicant's analysis shows a parking count supply of 611 spaces, or a reduction of 218 spaces. Again, the assumptions made and the cited documents used by the Applicant to support their analysis are reasonable. However, the needs of the guest parking must be addressed. Accordingly, the applicant submitted additional supplemental data relative to a shared parking analysis in that some of the parking for the restaurant and retail areas may be used by residential guests City of Dania Beach June 15, 2006 Page 2 when the restaurant and retail parking peaks are not high. It is typically in the best interest of both the developer and the municipality to acknowledge and examine the synergy between various on site land uses to document a project-specific parking requirement as parking requirements for mixed-use developments are generally lower than code-specified parking ratios. The application of shared parking concepts as published by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) in the document Shared Parking and the ITE document Parking Generation has been utilized to establish site-specific parking demands. The Applicant has proposed a guest-parking rate of 1 space for every 10 residential units. This equates to a total of 31 spaces needed by the residential guests considering a total of 305 dwelling units. Parking for the restaurant and retail uses is limited to Ground Level and Level 2 and totals 142 spaces for these uses. Accordingly Table 2, attached hereto, has been prepared. The parking occupancy variation as shown in percentages uses a combination of the ULI and ITE methodology. Considering the restaurant, retail and guest parking demand, a parking supply of 161 spaces would be required during the 8:00 PM hour. As noted previously 142 spaces are provided, therefore there is a shortfall of 19 spaces. Since Table 2 used a combination of ULI and ITE data another analysis was examined considering all ULI data. An analysis of all ITE data was not undertaken in that there are no published criteria for a specialty retail land use. As such Table 3 shows the results of using all ULI data. As noted from Table 3 a parking supply of 168 spaces would be required during the 8:00 PM hour. Again, considering 142 parking spaces provided, a shortfall of 26 spaces is realized. The Applicant's proposal of 1 space for every 10 residential units was further examined. Discussions with City staff had estimated a guest parking rate of 1 space for every 6.6 units or a rate of 0.15 spaces per unit. For 305 units, this would yield a total parking requirement of 46 spaces. Accordingly, Table 4 has been prepared. Table 4 shows the results of using all ULI data. As noted from Table 4 a parking supply of 182 spaces would be required during the 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM hours. Considering 142 parking spaces provided, a shortfall of 40 spaces is realized. Therefore the parking supply needs to be further assessed considering a worse case scenario shortfall of 40 spaces. The Applicant has expressed an interest to install 'stacked" parking spaces. Further the Applicant would provide them in the tandem spaces on Level 2. This concept uses a stacking device to park two vehicles in one space by elevating one vehicle over the other. In order to move vehicles in and out and up and down, thru driving aisles may be blocked while the exchange of vehicles is negotiated within the stacking devices. Therefore no stacking devices should be placed on Level 2, as the second level is comprised of all thru driving aisles to access the parking spaces. Therefore the stacking devices should be limited to the Ground Level and placed in spaces adjacent to non-thru driving aisles. Designated handicapped spaces are not to be used with stacking devices. City of Dania Beach June 15, 2006 Page 3 Non-thru driving aisles on the ground level can be found along the east side of the structure where 12 spaces can be used. In addition there are a total of 15 spaces east of the loading area: 8 spaces facing north and 7 spaces facing south. These areas comprise a total of 27 spaces where stacking devices may be used. Considering a worse case scenario of 40 spaces needed a short fall of 13 spaces is still realized even with the stacking devices. Therefore the following recommendations are made: • For 18 months following the issuance of the last certificate of occupancy, a determination of parking/stacking insufficiency shall be made at the request of the city commission or the city manager, using one or more of the following methods: developer monitoring of on-street parking in the adjacent neighborhood; increased parking/stacking in the rights-of-way caused by insufficient off-street parking and/or stacking on the site; or, verified complaints of parking on neighboring properties by employees or visitors of the property in question. • Prior to issuance of any development permits, the petitioner shall execute a parking agreement with the City setting forth the terms of the alternative parking/stacking remedy, including such conditions the City deems necessary to ensure the alternative parking and/or stacking is provided. Implementation of the remedy will still leave a deficit of 13 spaces • The agreement shall also include provisions for enforcement of 24-hour valet • parking. • Disclosure in condominium documents stating that one reserved space is provided for each efficiency/1 BR apartment, two (back-to-back) tandem spaces are provided for each 2 BR apartment, and guest parking is first-come, first-serve valet-only parking. • The Applicant shall furnish a cross section schematic of a fully loaded stacking device within the Ground Level area and provide assurances that adequate vertical and horizontal clearances will be provided. As always, should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me directly. Sincerely, Dennis J.

Dania Beach Boulevard Dania Beach, FL 33004 RE: ONE DANIA BEACH DANIA BEACH BLVD. @ FEDERAL HIGHWAY(US 1) CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA TINTER ASSOCIATES PROJECT NO. 04-2057E Dear Mr. Leeds: I have completed a review of the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) as revised March 2006 by Cathy Sweetapple & Associates. In addition, I have reviewed the site plan prepared by Arquitectonica dated May 3, 2006 and received by our office on May 24, 2006 relative to site circulation and access. At your direction the site plan review was limited to ground floor only. Accordingly, I offer the following comments: • Buildout used in the TIS is 2008 • The TIS cites a specialty retail area 10,454 square feet. Sheet Al-01 of the Site Plan package shows a total retail area of 9,387 square feet. The TIS cites 9,450 square feet of quality restaurant area. Sheet Al-01 shows a total restaurant area of 10,381 square feet. You had also requested that we continue with our review considering 355 residential units instead of 331 units as cited in the TIS. While there is a slight increase in square feet to the restaurant area, an increase in the number of dwelling units and a decrease of the retail area, the TIS need not be revised, as the applicant has not taken credit for existing uses on the site presently generating traffic to the adjacent roadway system. The slight increase in trip generation should be offset considering trip credits for the existing use. Trip generation and internal capture rates used in the TIS are consistent with industry standards. ® The TIS indicates on Page 16 that the intersection of Dania Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway is being analyzed with a single westbound right turn lane and dual westbound right turn lanes and cites ongoing discussions with the Florida of Transportation to address future geometric needs. It should be noted that total traffic conditions at the intersection were analyzed with and without dual rights and each study scenario yield acceptable operating levels of service. The southbound approach queue at the intersection was also examined. Pre and post development the southbound left turn lane group is expected to operate at less than desirable operating conditions. Constrained right of way and adjacent City of Dania Beach May 25, 2006 Page 2 land uses preclude any physical improvements. However, the intersection as a whole, operates within acceptable levels of service pre and post development • The US 1 access will be limited to northbound right in, southbound left in and westbound right out only. The applicant should provide a tear dropped shaped painted island, companion right turn pavement arrows and right turn only signage for the westbound approach. ® The ground floor plan shows a valet area on the east side of the restaurant. I assume attendants will be available to receive, park and deliver vehicles. If so where will the vehicles be stored? This area is designated as 20 feet wide. The minimum should be 24 feet considering the valet activities. The applicant shall discuss the potential queue since the restaurant alone will generate significant peak hour volumes and the valet area operates in a one-way southbound direction. Typically, high turnover restaurants have a turnover of less than one hour and frequently belong to a chain (TGIF, Bennigans, Quarterdeck, etc.). This type of use is typically not suited for valet service. ® I believe the area on the west side of the lobby should be drop off or pick up only. Appropriate signing should designate this area as such. In fact a complete signing and pavement marking plan shall be developed for the ground floor level. How does the loading zone function? Does it ramp up to a dock or is it at finished floor elevation. Is it pull in or back in? Does this serve all the retail area? Since the plan is prepared in architectural scale, this office was not able to check vehicle path turning radii at the loading area as well as other areas. The applicant should provide vehicle turning paths on the plan at the loading area, entering and existing the drop off pick up area and entering and exiting the valet area. Overall, this office concurs with the finding of the TIS that adequate operating conditions will be maintained along the adjacent roadway system through buildout in 2008. There are still outstanding issues to be addressed relative to the ground floor site plan. As always, should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me directly.

ETAPPLE & ASSOCIATES TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY PLANNING June 8, 2006 Mr. Laurence Leeds, AICP Director of Community Development City of Dania Beach 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard Dania Beach, Florida 33004 RE: One Dania Beach(f/k/a Casa Beni) Case Numbers VC-03.06,SP-03.06,VA-03.06,SE03.06 Parking Reduction Analysis—Response to City Questions Project Number 05.050 - Dear Mr.Leeds: Please find outlined below,responses to your questions related to parking raised on June 5,2006. You indicate guests will use"valet parking". Since 100%of the resident parking is'reserved parking',guests will be restricted to the restaurant parking area. Based on a minimum of one guest space per 10 dwelling unit,31 condo guest spaces are required in the restaurant area. This will reduce restaurant parking from 104 to 73 parking spaces,or • 1 space/96 s.f.of service area(about 42%of the current code requirement). Please explain how adequate guest parking and restaurant will be provided during concurrent use periods(evenings/weekends). Response: Pursuant to your comment related to accommodating guest parking,I have expanded the parking reduction strategy to provide a Shared Parking Analysis for Levels 1 and 2 for the retail,restaurant and 31 potential guest spaces(1 space per 10 dwelling units—see above City comment). Shared parking takes into account the variation in demand throughout the day for the individual uses. Using ULI occupancy rates for the retail and restaurant space and ITE occupancy rates for residential, the 142 spaces available between self parking and the valet on Levels 1 and 2 might theoretically be exceeded by up to 18 spaces from 6pm to 10pm after factoring in the need to accommodate 31 guest spaces. The attached Table B provides the results of the Shared Parking Analysis. The ITE occupancy rates were obtained from ITE Parking Generation for residential use (see attached page 49 for LUC 221); no occupancy data was found specifically related only to the occupancy of guest parking. Pursuant to the Shared Parking Analysis,the following results were noted on Table C below.

The Bi-Annual Parking Management Study will be performed until one year beyond the sale of the last dwelling unit. The study will address whether or not a parking deficiency exists and should be mitigated by additional parking supply. o Pursuant to the outcome of the Bi-Annual Parking Monitoring Study,the Applicant/Owner will be obligated to install up to 18 stacked parking spaces on Level 2 within the tandem valet spaces sufficient to accommodate the deficiency as determined by the Parking Monitoring Study. The Applicant is modifying the height of Levels 1 and 2 to accommodate the stacked parking spaces on Level 2 to the extent that they may be needed. The Architect has determined that 4"of additional clearance is needed for Level 2,and 4"are being removed from Level 1. I assume the retail analysis does not include health clubs, banks, medical office, etc, and the parking analysis includes indoorloutdoor seating areas,as well as coffee and sandwich shops. Please confirm. Response: The retail analysis does not include health clubs, banks, or medical offices, only straight retail. The parking calculations assume 10,381 square feet of restaurant space.

Please find responses to your questions as outlined below. Do ITE Urban Standards assume some customers/residents will use mass transit or public parking? Currently, transit service is not a viable alternative and convenient public parking is not available. Response: ITE does not indicate that it assumes customers or residents will use mass transit or public parking. Rather, ITE indicates whether or not the study site is located adjacent to transit facilities. In the case of the Urban High Rise Apartment,the study sites surveyed were located within 3 blocks of transit service, No proximity to transit was given in the case of the Suburban Mid Rise Apartment or the Suburban Residential Condominium. Attached are the Parking Summary Sheets from ITE Parking Generation for Land Use Code 222 (Central City High Rise Apartment), Land Use Code 221 (Urban Mid Rise Apartment), Land Use Code 221 (Suburban Mid Rise Apartment)and Land Use Code 230(Suburban Condominium). The Weekday Peak Parking Demand formula for each of these four categories is summarized in Table A below, using the 305 dwelling units proposed for One Dania Beach.

The Parking Reduction Analysis has been evaluated against the criteria and parking standards outlined in Chapter 28,Article 6,Section 6.21 of the Dania Beach City Code. In order to establish a balance between the desired mix of residential,retail and restaurant uses and the need to provide parking infrastructure that can support the proposed mix of uses,the One Dania Beach site plan has once again been modified to reflect a reduction in dwelling units. Several smaller units have been combined to result in the following development program outlined in Table 1 below. Table 1—Pm posed Develo ment Program Use . Scale of Development Status Ground Level Specialty Retail 9,388 gsf Unchanged from the Last Submittal Restaurant 10,381 gsf Unchanged from the Last Submittal Condominium Studio units 17 du Reduction by 10 dwelling units Condominium 1 Bedroom units 124 du Reduction by 31 dwelling units Condominium 2 bedroom units 164 du Increase by 2 dwelling units Total Residential 305 du Reduction by 39 dwelling units Required Parking Pursuant to Section 6.21 of the City Code, One Dania Beach is required to provide a total of 829 parking spaces as outlined in Table 2 below. This equates to 616 spaces for the residential units and 213 spaces for the retail and restaurant use.

Given the tight urban landscape,a variety of parking solutions have been employed within the site plan to meet parking needs. These include a reevaluation of the City's code required parking,the use of parking rates from ITE standards,the provision of residential parking which accommodates each bedroom provided on site, the design of tandem parking spaces to maximize the ability of the infrastructure to accommodate as many spaces as possible,and the use of valet parking to more efficiently serve the retail and restaurant patrons,and the project residents where desired. The collective combination of parking solutions results in the provision of 611 parking spaces on site to support the project land uses (as outlined in Table 3 below)which equates to a 218 space parking reduction from code required standards. The 611 spaces offer the equivalent of one parking space per bedroom(for a studio,one bedroom or two bedroom unit),plus additional parking for the retail and restaurant uses, The retail and restaurant patrons will have the ability to self park on the ground level of the building, or valet park with an attendant stationed at the project entrance off of Dania Beach Boulevard,valet parking the vehicles on a portion of Level 2. Table 3-Provided Parkin Use Scale Parking Provided Retail 9,388 gsf 1 space per 250 gsf=38 spaces Restaurant 10,381 gsf 1 space per 100 gsf=104 spaces Condominium Studio 17 du 1.0 space per unit x 17 du=17 spaces Condominium 1 bedroom 124 du 1.0 space per unit x 124 du=124 spaces Condominium 2 bedroom 164 du 2.0 spaces per unit x 164 du=328 spaces Total Spaces Provided=611 spaces Total Spaces Required=829 spaces Parking Reduction=218 spaces=26% Justification for the Proposed Parking Reduction for the Restaurant Use As part of the proposed Site Plan approval,One Dania Beach has proposed adjusted parking rates for the restaurant use as provided in Table 4 below, The restaurant use offers 1 space per 100 gross square feet of restaurant use,rather than 1 space per 40 gross square feet of customer service area. The alternative parking rate is based upon the site's urban location,and follows ITE standards for parking in either urban or suburban locations under ITE Land Use Code 932 for High Turnover Sit-Down Restaurants. ITE estimates that this type of restaurant use has a midday peak parking demand (from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm), and an evening peak parking demand (from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm). ITE estimates that a Family Restaurant in a suburban setting would generate an average peak period parking demand of 10.1 vehicles per 1000 gross square feet(the equivalent of 1 space per 99 gross square feet of restaurant area). ITE estimates that a Family Restaurant in an urban setting would generate an average peak parking demand of 5.55 vehicles per 1000 gross square feet (the equivalent of 1 space per 180 gross square feet of restaurant area). The proposed revised code requirement for this site plan is 1 space per 100 gross square feet of restaurant area, The applicant is comfortable with this parking ratio, since as a mixed use site, it is also realistic to assume that some of the restaurant patrons will be residents of the building (above the restaurant), and that other restaurant patrons will walk to the site from the future neighboring redevelopment projects. The use of the valet operation to manage the parking for the retail and restaurant portion of the site offers the added benefit that the parking will be managed and coordinated by a valet operator,who will have more flexibility to stage the parked cars on Level 2 of the building during periods of peak restaurant demand. 101 North Gordon Road,Dania Beach,Florida 33301 954-463-8878 office 954-525-4303 fax 954-649-8942 cell Email:csweet@bellsouth.net Mr.Laurence Leeds,AICP Director of Community Development One Dania Beach Parking Reduction Analysis Project Number 05.050 June 2,2006-Page 3 Justification for the Proposed Parking Reduction for the Residential Use As part of the proposed Site Plan approval,One Dania Beach has proposed adjusted parking rates for the residential units as provided in Table 4 below. The proposed code adjustments for this site offer the equivalent of one parking space per bedroom for a studio, one bedroom or two bedroom unit. The alternative parking rate is based upon the site's urban location, and follows ITE standards for parking in either urban or suburban locations under ITE Land Use Code 222 for High Rise Apartment and ITE Land Use Code 221 for Mid Rise Apartment, The 3rd Edition of Parking Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers(ITE)in 2004,provides updated peak period parking demand rates for residential condominium land uses as outlined below. • An average peak parking demand of 1.37 vehicles per dwelling unit for LUC 222-Urban High Rise Apartment • An 85"percentile parking demand of 1.52 vehicles per dwelling unit for LUC 222-Urban High Rise Apartment • An average peak parking demand of 1.00 vehicles per dwelling unit for LUC 221-Urban Mid Rise Apartment • An 85"percentile parking demand of 1.17 vehicles per dwelling unit for LUC 221-Urban Mid Rise Apartment • An average peak parking demand of 1.20 vehicles per dwelling unit for LUC 221-Suburban Mid Rise Apartment • An 85'percentile parking demand of 1.46 vehicles per dwelling unit for LUC 221 -Suburban Mid Rise Apartment. The average residential parking rate for this project is 1.537 spaces per dwelling unit(see Table 4 below),exceeding the standards in ITE. ® Table 4-Pro osed Ad usted Parking Rates City Code Requirement Proposed Requirements for One Dania Beach Restaurant Restaurant 1 space per 40 gsf customer service area 1 space per 100 gsf of total restaurant space 175 spaces 104 spaces Studio units=1.75 spaces per unit Studio units=1.0 spaces per unit 1 bedroom units=1.75 spaces per unit 1 bedroom units=1.0 spaces per unit 2 bedroom units=2.25 spaces per unit 2 bedroom units=2.0 spaces per unit One Dania Beach-616 spaces required One Dania Beach-469 spaces required 2.019 spaces per dwelling unit 1.537 spaces per dwelling unit Conclusion The Applicant is confident that the proposed parking reduction strategy will maintain a viable parking operation on site.

Exhibit 11c, Parking and Height Variance Justification Statements DVNY Development, Inc., ("Petitioner"), is the contract purchaser of the property located on the NE comer of Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard ("Property") in the City of Dania Beach ("City"). Petitioner proposes to develop a Mixed-Use project comprised of 330 residential units and approximately 17,000 square feet of retail ("Project"). In furtherance of the Petitioner's development of the Project, Petitioner seeks.two variances under the City's Code of-Ordinances ("Code"), Chapter 28, section 10.13; (1) a variance from section 6.21 to reduce the number of parking spaces required for the retail use under the Code; and (2) a variance from section 4.202, in order to construct a 16 story Mixed-Use building at a height of 175.7 feet at its tallest point, where the Code limits development to 3 stories, with a maximum height of 40 feet. (1) Parking Variance: As discussed below, the requested variance adheres to the variance review criteria set forth in Chapter 28, section 10.13 of the Code. Specifically, Petitioner will demonstrate that: (a) special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district; (b)the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; (c) granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this r chapter to other lands, buildings or structures in this same zoning district; (d) literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant; (e) the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure; and (f) the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. (a) Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands structures or buildings in the same zoning district Special conditions and circumstances exist which warrant the granting of the requested variance. The proposed project for this Property is a Mixed-Use `' development, combining residential and retail uses in one unified development, which is unlike most other properties in the City. The retail that is proposed for this Project will be the kind of retail designed to serve the residents of the Mixed-Use development. In fact, a substantial amount of the customers who will frequent the proposed retail in this Mixed-Use development will be the residents living in the residential portion. As a result, those customers frequenting the retail portion who are.also residents in the same Mixed-Use development will not need to drive to the retail uses, and thus will not need FTL:1665687:3 I to park any additional cars. Therefore, the parking requirements for this Property are not going to be the same as other retail properties in the City because many of the customers of this retail will be residents who will not drive to the retail nor have a need to park. Under the current City Code, the Petitioner would be required to provide 714 standard parking spaces for the residential use and 223 parking spaces for the retail use for a total of 936 parking spaces for the entire Mixed-Use development. The Petitioner will provide 859 standard parking spaces, 22 tandem parking spaces, and 58 innovative vertical lift,or"rack", spaces for a total of 917 parking spaces. The current Code does not provide for an exception or separate parking requirements for Mixed-Use developments, despite the fact that such developments naturally reduce the amount of commercial or retail parking necessary due to the fact that many of the intended retail customers are located in the same development and thus would have no need to travel by car, and thus no need for additional commercial or retail parking. The current Code also does not envision valet, vertical lift or tandem parking spaces, which should be counted as parking spaces because In this development, they will be utilized to store cars. There are very few retail establishments in the City that provide valet service, despite the fact that most major metropolitan cities have an abundance of valet parking. The tandem spaces planned for this Project will be reserved for valet use, so no customers will need to park their car parallel; only the experienced valet professionals will be using these spots to park the retail customer's cars for the customer. Therefore, since each valet tandem spot will likely store a parked car, these spots should be counted. Additionally, the vertical lift spaces provide an Innovative response to the need to provide parking where there is a shortage of land, and therefore should be counted as the Petitioner plans to fill each vertical lift space with a car. Other cities in the South Florida area have recognized that Mixed-Use developments provide an intelligent and creative way to utilize land without reducing the quality of life of residents or harming retail uses. Those cities also recognize that Mixed-Use developments should not be treated according to Code provisions designed for the traditional segregated development of the past, where residential areas were separate from the commercial or retail areas. As a result, those cities have created code provisions which provide accurate and flexible parking requirements based on the idea that combined uses reduce the amount of people traveling by car to the commercial or retail uses. For example, the City of Boca Raton has recognized that Mixed-Use developments that combine residential with retail uses naturally require less parking, and therefore has implemented in its Code a provision to allow developers of Mixed-Use developments to apply for a parking reduction which is reviewed on a case- by-case basis. Fort Lauderdale also has special parking regulations for Mixed-Use developments, only requiring 1.2 spaces for every dwelling unit for the residential use, and a 40% reduction of the parking requirement for non-residential uses. The City of Hollywood has designated certain districts appropriate for Mixed-Use development, and allows such development to be exempt entirely from the parking requirements for retail located on the first and/or second floors. Boynton Beach permits Mixed-Use developments to provide 1.66 parking spaces for each two (2)or more bedroom unit FTL:1665687:3 and permits non-residential parking to be calculated at a minimum of one (1) parking space for each two hundred (200) square feet of gross.leaseable floor area. Boynton Beach also permits tandem parking for Mixed-Use developments. (b) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The special conditions and circumstances are not a result of action by the Petitioner. Currently, the parking requirements in the Code are not designed for Mixed- Use development. The Code is designed with the traditional separation of residential uses from retail uses in mind—anticipating the need for people to drive from residentially designated areas to commercially designated areas. However, the proposed Project combines the residential and retail designations into one development, thereby eliminating the need for many retail customers to travel by car from their residences to arrive at a retail use. As a result, if the current parking requirements,which are not designed for such a Mixed-Use development, are applied to the current Project, the Petitioner would be forced to provide unnecessary parking, as the current parking requirements in Code do not take into consideration the combining of uses that occurs in Mixed-Use development. The Petitioner is the first to propose a Mixed-Use project, and it is not a result of actions on the part of the Petitioner that the Code does not address the unforeseen duplication of parking requirements that occurs when a project combines residential uses with retail uses. (c) That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this chapter to other lands, buildings or structures in this same zoning district. Granting the Petitioner's request for a variance will not confer on the applicant any special privileges denied by any other properties in the same zoning district. As demonstrated above, the Petitioner's project is the first of its kind in the City that combines residential uses and retail uses into a Mixed-Use development. As a result there are no other properties that would incur the unforeseen duplication of parking requirements that occurs when a project combines residential uses with retail uses. (d) That literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. The Petitioner's proposed Project is very innovative and unique as Petitioner is proposing to combine residential and retail uses. Because in a Mixed-Use development, both residential and retail uses are combined in one building, such a development meets its residents retail needs without requiring the residents to travel. • FTL:1665687:3 As illustrated above, being a Mixed-Use development, if the current parking regulations c were applied to this Property, the Petitioner would be forced to provide unnecessary and duplicative parking. Other properties in this zoning district that are not Mixed-Use developments do not have the benefit of residents and retail customers living in the same building with no need to drive or park a car. Therefore, the denial of this variance would deny the Petitioner rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district and would result in undue hardship. (e) That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure. The variance requested is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the Property. The Petitioner will comply with all other Code requirements. (f) That the grant of the variance will be In harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. The grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent purpose of this.chapter and will not be injurious to the area or detrimental to the public welfare. The Petitioner is proposing a new quality development that will likely increase the tax base of the City and attract new residents and customers to the City. The Code encourages new development, as well as encourages new business which will attract customers and benefit the City. (2) Height Variance As discussed below, the requested variance adheres to the variance review criteria set forth in Chapter 28, section 10.13 of the Code. Specifically, Petitioner will demonstrate that: (a)special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district; (b)the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant; (c) granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this chapter to other lands, buildings or structures in this same zoning district; (d) literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant; (e) the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure; and (f) the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. FTL:1665687:3 (a) Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land structure or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands structures or buildings in the same zoning district Special conditions and circumstances exist which warrant the granting of the requested variance. The existing Code in the City was designed for a time when uses were segregated with residential uses in one area of the City and commercial and retail uses were located in another are of the City. The Code anticipated Federal Highway to be a small commercial corridor for a small suburban town, and never anticipated the population boom of South Florida. This population boom has created a need for cities to be creative in the way they plan residential and commercial areas, and a result, the new concept of Mixed-Use developments has been incorporated into modern cities in the South Florida area. Much like all the other cities in South Florida, Dania Beach is growing, and is no longer a small town, but rather a major metropolitan area. Federal Highway is no longer a small commercial corridor, but a major gateway through all the cities of South Florida. The City's small town concept has limited the amount of new development within the City, creating a need for quality development to update the City and attract new residents and consumers. In response to such growth, the City created its downtown Local Activity Center("LAC"). This request is consistent with the provisions of the LAC. The proposed Mixed-Use development, combining residential and retail uses in one unified development, is very innovative anct unique, being that there are no other such Mixed-Use developments existing or proposed within the City. The existing Code, therefore, being outdated and designed for a small town time which has long since disappeared, anticipated much smaller buildings and does not address • the new, creative development concept of Mixed-Use projects. Additionally, being the first of its kind, this Project is the first and only project to encounter the difficulty of designing for the future under a Code with provisions designed for the past. (b) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The special conditions and circumstances are not a result of action by the Petitioner. Currently, the height requirements in the Code are not designed for Mixed- Use development, as demonstrated above. The Code is designed for the traditional small town development, where the population was small, and so were the commercial and retail needs. Buildings did not need to be very tall to provide the level of commercial and retail service the small population required. However, times have changed, and the City has developed into a major metropolitan area, servicing not only the growing population of the City itself, but neighboring cities in the area as well as attracting residents and consumers from outside South Florida. The proposed Project combines the residential and retail designations into one development, providing a creative and unique solution to the problems the City is facing, such as a lack of new quality development to house and service the ever-growing population. The Petitioner is the first to propose a Mixed-Use project, and it is not a result of actions on the part of the Petitioner that the Code does not address the unforeseen problems of an outdated code being applied to a new, modern and creative Mixed-Use development. FTL:1665687:3 (c) That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this chapter to other lands, buildings or . structures in this same zoning district. Granting the Petitioner's request for a variance will not confer on the applicant any special privileges denied by any other properties in the same zoning district. As demonstrated above, the Petitioners project is the first of its kind in the City that combines residential uses and retail uses into a Mixed-Use development. As a result there are no other properties that would incur the unforeseen problems of an outdated code being applied to a new, modern and creative Mixed-Use development. (d) That literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enioyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this chapter and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. The Petitioner's proposed Project Is very innovative and unique as Petitioner Is proposing to combine residential and retail uses in an attempt to bring new quality development to the City. Most of the existing structures in the City are older, and were built on the small town premise and were not designed for a modern metropolitan area. The existing code provisions were designed when the City was a small suburban town, • and did not and could not envision the new Mixed-Use development concept currently proposed by the Petitioner. If those outdated provisions were applied to the proposed Project, the Petitioner would not be able to provide the City with the new, innovative Mixed-Use Project at all. The Code does not present the same kind of development hindrance to any other properties as there are no other Mixed-Use properties in this zoning district, existing or proposed. Therefore, the denial of this variance would deny the Petitioner rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district and would result in undue hardship. (e) That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure. The variance requested is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the Property. The Petitioner will comply with all other Code requirements. (g) That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this chapter, and that such variance will not be iniurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. • FTL:1665687:3 The grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent purpose of this chapter and will not be injurious to the area or detrimental to the public welfare. The Petitioner is proposing a new quality development that will likely increase the tax base of the City and attract new residents and customers to the City. The Code encourages new development, as well as encourages new business which will attract customers and benefit the City. i l FTL:1665687:3 I � Exhibit "C" l Justification For Special Exception The Developer of One Dania Beach, a mixed use residential and commercial project on the northeast comer of Dania Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway ("Project') is requesting a special exception approval to allocate 330 local activity center units for the residential component of the Project. Special exception applications are required to demonstrate compliance with the following criteria: (1) That the uses permitted as a special exception as set forth in the Schedule of Reviews Regulations, Article 4 of the City of Dania Beach City Code. In District Zone C2 or C3, multi-family housing is permitted when located within the Downtown Dania Beach Redevelopment District or the Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Area ("CRA"). This Project is located within the CRA and as such is provided for under Article 4 of the City Code. (2) That the use will not cause a detrimental impact to the value of existing contiguous uses or the uses in the general area. This mixed use Project is not detrimental to the contiguous properties or generally in the C3 zoned areas along Federal Highway. In fact, this site is viewed as perhaps one of the most important redevelopment sites downtown and this particular proposal is consistent with the CRA Plan and the goals that have previously been set forth by the City Commission. Currently, there is little to no pedestrian use of the dumitown area and consequently cumnitacial businesses have sufferc d. During the evening houis, yuu see no activity and hence most of the businesses shut down and leave the City downtown area dark. One of the principal goals of the SEPTED is to locate people in areas that otherwise would not see activity, hence, creating community watchdogs. This site will start that process and meet one of the most important objccti%es cities have in securing their neighborhoods. Accurdingly, this FTL:1666058:1 1 Project not only meets the City's goals contained within the CRA Plan, but also meets other important goals of the City's Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the commercial component of this site will offer r needed restaurants and retails uses that will again provide all of the City of Dania Beach with retail opportunities and make the downtown area more vibrant. (3) That the use will be compatible with existing uses on the contiguous properties and in the general zoning district and will be consistent with the general character of the area considering population density, design, scale and orientation of structured city area. This Project and the mixed use is consistent with the surrounding area. The new commercial will offer restaurant and retail uses that are not already located in the downtown area. The residential will support existing retail that is currently not thriving due to a lack of residential population within the area. The density is compatible with other urban downtown projects. The design is also f compatible with what is being done on the east-end of town as well as what is being proposed for the redevelopment of the Dania Beach Hotel site. The residential units will be offered at market rates which exceed much of the City's housing stock and as such should increase property values in the area. The Developer has received significant interest by major restaurant chains to locate their restaurants within the retail component of this Project. (4) Adequate landscaping and screening will be provided. The Project proposes multiple levels that will have landscaped and green areas for not only the benefit of the residents but to add a different component to the architecture and design of the building. Furthermore, the design of the building proposes a pedestrian, promenade-like component which will be heavily landscaped improving the existing vistas. Along the north-side of the building there will be a dog walk area that will also be green. For an urhan product, this particular Project contains a l FTL:1116018:1 2 significant amount of landscaping and, in fact, is more than what prior developers are proposing elsewhere in the downtown area. (5) Adequate parking and loading is provided and ingress and egress is designed so as to cause minimum interference with traffic on abutting streets — the site has been designed to eliminate conflicts between the retail and the residential development, residential ingress shall be located primarily from the east (0) side of the Project. Ingress and egress for the commercial parking is predominantly off of Dania Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway. This design should eliminate any significant conflicts in the traffic flow. Furthermore, the designer has provided that the retail parking is exclusive and segregated from the residential parking also avoiding conflicts. The residential parking is being provided in accordance with the latest parking code and no parking variances are being requested for the residential component of the Project. The commercial component will be utilizing valet parking. The valet parking is primarily on the subbasement level of the Project and uses tandem spaces but will also have access to standard spaces. Additionally, the Developer is proposing to utilize an automated lift system to create additional spaces. The lifts are not counted by City code, but will be more than adequate to satisfy the required commercial parking. We have provided in our parking variance an analysis of what other mixed use projects in Broward County offer in the way of parking and we greatly exceed what those mixed use projects provide. (6) Use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Project is entirely consistent with the undcrlying Laird Use Plan. We are requesting the allocation of 300 LAC units. That is consistent not only with the Comprehensive Plan but also with the City CRA Map. (7) Iliat the use will not have a detrimental and environmental impact upon contiguous propcoics and upon properties located in the general area. As describcd above, the i FTL:1666058:1 � c Project has tiers of building mass. The building is similar to,a wedding cake type of a design. By stepping the building back, there is no canyon effect. This approach will mitigate the size of the structure. Furthermore, by adding the extensive landscaping and paver materials that this design calls for,the Developer has softened the nature of this urban project and has created more of a pedestrian friendly promenade which will again enhance the neighboring properties and encourage more pedestrian uses providing a positive environmental impact as far as creating a safer area for the community to enjoy. (8) That the use will not have a detrimental effect on vehicular/pedestrian traffic. The Developer has submitted this Project to the Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT') which has approved the openings on Dania Beach Boulevard and on Federal Highway. A northbound right-turn lane will be provided on Federal Highway which will actually improve traffic conditions that currently does not exist today. The Developer is also expanding the Dania l Beach/Federal intersection by providing an additional dedication of right-of-way on Dania Beach Boulevard in order to improve the right-turning movements heading northbound on Federal Highway. The parking traffic flow, as mentioned above, has been designed to limit the interaction between the residential and the commercial traffic. The parking, again, is segregated and the driveways and openings were designed in such a way to maximize efficiency. The Developer hired Walker Parking Consultants to evaluate the entire parking stricture, including ingress, egress and traffic flow. The documents that have been submitted to the City reflect the expert's recommendations and have iucurporated those recommendations into the revised and final Plan. (9) fhat the use will not utilise turning movements in relation to its access to public roads or intersections, or its locations in relation to other structures or Proposed strictures on or 1 FTL:1666058 1 R 4 near the site that would be hazardous or a nuisance. The Project was designed to include turn lanes. The access on Dania Beach Boulevard provides for a turning lane and cul-de-sac to improve traffic flow on Dania Beach Boulevard. The principal residential opening on First is set back from Dania Beach Boulevard and is at the northeast corner of the site providing significant stacking if necessary so as to avoid any kind of negative impact on Dania Beach Boulevard. With the two turning lanes .that will be constructed, this Applicant has done the maximum possible to improve turning movements and remove cars from the traveling lanes of both Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard. Again,FDOT has approved those turning movements. (10) That the use will not have a detrimental affect on the future development of contiguous properties or the general area according to the Comprehensive.Plan. This Project is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Developer has provided sufficient setbacks so as to avoid creating problems for the future development of contiguous properties. (11) That the use will not result in the creation of incompatible noise, lights, vibrations, fumes,odors, dust or physical activities. By providing a stepped back approach to the design of the building, the Developer has mitigated any potential that might arise for incompatible noise, lights, fumes, sounds or activities. Furthermore, by placing open spaces and landscaping on various levels of the Project, the design also allows for certain aesthetic benefits from that landscaping from both the street level or upper levels of other buildings as the case may be. The Developer intends to use some of the latest building constriction materials as to sound wid wind resistance. As such, this building will be far less of a noise generator than existing uses in the City. (12) fhat this use will not overburden existing public services and facilities. The Developer has been in communications with the utilities department and by the time that this l FTL:1666058:1 5 • Project will be ready for permits, sufficient water capacity should be available. We have already i been advised that the sewer capacity is available. • (13) That the use will be sufficiently accessible to permit entry onto the property by fire,police, rescue and other public services. The Developer has met on multiple occasions with the Fire Department and has responded to all comments provided to them by the Department. (14) That the use will be consistent with the definition of a special exception and will meet the standards and criteria and of the zoning classification in which the use is proposed. As mentioned above,this use is consistent with the C2 and 3 zoning designations. The definition for a special exception provides for "a use which may be allowed within a zoning district subject to the provisions of this chapter and in accordance with the procedures as set forth in Article 10 of this Chapter." We have filed the appropriate special exception application with fees. We understand that this application will be processed concurrent with the site plan. As discussed above, we believe that this application adequately meets with all of the criteria contained within Article 10.
