PUBLIC HEARINGS Variances 4. 1 PZ-20-84, Michael L. Thomas, 1601 Griffin Road; (Continued from .October 9, 1984 Meeting) . t . Building Official Maxwell commented on the variance request and the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendations, and advised that if the variance is granted, it should be contingent upon the project moving ahead and being in compliance with the Land use plan. Ross Beckerman, Attorney for the petitioner, stepped forward to explain the three—part variance request : 1 ) To allow construction at a greater height than allowed in an I—G zoning classification. He (' explained that the hotel is designed to increase in height from north to south to conform to avigation easements . Ir The P&Z Board recommends approval for a building of 97. 1 ' in height contingent upon FAA approvaL . 2) To allow reduced number of required parking spaces. Mr. Beckerman referred to a site plan and t_ calculations prepared by the architects and explained that the number of requested spaces was originally 416 but was changed to 460 based on the calculations submitted on 9/7/84. He explained that the request for reduced number of required . parking spaces is necessitated by the configuration of the property and environmental concerns, but j•;_!,; stated that as it wiLL be an "airport hotel", it is assumed that many guests will arrive and Leave by shuttle. Regular Meeting 2 October 23, 1984 t2 • • The P&Z Board recommends approval for a reduction of required parking spaces, 460 spaces to be provided contingent upon 633 spaces being the required number of parking spaces required by the City of Dania when final plans are reviewed. (633 parking spaces are assumed to be the required number of spaces required, as calculated by the developer' s calculations of September 7, 1984. ) . 3) Mr. Beckerman explained that the original request for variance regarding size and percentage of parking spaces no longer applies due to the fact that the City has since enacted a Parking Ordinance which the petitioner will comply with . The P&Z Board recommends that size and percentage of parking spaces shall comply with the City of Dania Parking Ordinance. Mayor Byrd opened the public hearing. Bob Mikes suggested that project renderings should be provided with such variance requests for the benefit of the residents . Hearing Bob Mikes comment in favor from an environmental standpoint and in opposition to cutting back the number of parking spaces, the Mayor closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Donly, seconded by Commissioner Adams to approve the variance requests per the Planning and Zoning Board recommendations, all contingent upon compliance with the land use plan. Discussion of the motion ensued regarding the viability of a 30% reduction of parking spaces for airport hotels not adequately addressed in the City' s ordinance. A motion was made by Vice-Mayor Bertino, seconded by Commissioner Cook to table this item until the next regular meeting of November 13, 1984, in order to give the developer time to provide more definite back-up information to support the request. The motion passed unanimously. 5. OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES - None 6. PROCLAMATIONS 7. AGREEMENTS - None 8. REQUESTS - None 9. PRESENTATIONS - None 10. DISCUSSION 10.1 Discussion of Pembroke Pines Ordinance regarding Off Road Vehicles/Cycles, on privately owned Land.
