This is for general city business. Would anyone like to speak and you've up to four minutes to speak? And please give your name and address. Fitzbud who's 720 Northeast 59 Court. Schooled my attire. It's been a hot day. It's 200 degrees outside. Glad to be here today. Thank you for allowing new board members to come in, because Chris Fisher is gone. I'm going to need him about that. But big comments. We got two applications today. We all know I'm going to speak on both of them. uh Mr. Sudden I know I want you to send a message to the director to the board I need support part of these applications these two are pivotal for us to get the bus shuttle transfer to connecting all our neighborhoods that's what's gonna happen throughout all the city. When you're going to collect first app could then power me a plaque the lakeside one you're going to connect over there by uh sister wallets and then connect over there to north andrews me and then connect to holimic bride Mr. King and to connect to the east side, okay? The co-fer area, downtown. And then sometime we may even go to the beach. This is what these applications, these two projects will consist of. So I want you to send that message, support me when we go in front of the city commission and advocate to finally get a bus shuttle transfer. There's funding available with Browell County, we are a lot, it's over 16 municipalities do have one. Ocompact needs to get one finally. So I need the support of this board and city staff to get that moving. If that, thank you, I'm leaving, showing the streets, I'm ready. Get ready to speak on the other two applications. Thank you, Mr. Bato. Would anyone else like to speak on the other two applications. Thank you. Is about to. Would anyone else like to speak? Seeing none, I'll close public comments. And I'll turn it over to our city attorney for item number three. Public hearing to consider an application by Urban League of Broward County Inc. Broward County School Board and Harris Chapel United Methodist Church Inc. Requesting the approval of final platen titled empowerment, it's ending 20.8 gross acres, 19.7 net acres, generally located in northwest corner of northwest 21st Avenue and northwest 26th Street, identified with the following five parcel identification numbers. Thank you. Does the city have a presentation? Yes, we do. Good evening, everybody. Good evening, Mr. Chair, planning commission. All right. Actually, hold on. Don't we have election officers tonight? The meeting on the next meeting, do you hear? Yeah, and this is the first meeting of the new board, isn't it? Does anyone know? I don't know. So we should defer that. Okay. So if we can get that on the agenda for our next meeting then I don't want to be presumed to listen to a meeting that I'm not sure of. Future sir, interrupt your crake, please. No problem. All right, as the city attorney had just indicated, the first item, item number three on the agenda tonight is the final plat for the empowerment. We originally heard this preliminary plat hearing back in June 8th of this year 2024. But briefly we'll get into the background. So the the plat contains 20.8 gross acres 19.7 net acres. If you take a look here on the screen, you'll see where the location is currently at. It's located on the northwest corner of Northwest 21st Avenue and Northwest 26th Street consists of five parcel IDs that are being combined. Currently it has community facilities, use, there is a church, amongst other entities that are on there. So the proposed use is for a mixed use planned unit development, which the Planning and Zoning Board also heard in January of 2024. Tonight is only for the final plaque component. Maybe to make kind of a crude kind of analogy, we could say that the plaque, if you almost kind of wanna utilize the analogy of maybe like a pizza, for example. The plaque is kind of like the crust, it shows the shape and what it can hold, whereas maybe the future land use could kind of be like the sauce, so to speak, and then the zoning, the zoning, yeah, haven't had dinner tonight. The zoning could more or less kind of determine what the use is, could be on the pizza, so to speak. And then that planned unit development is actually the toppings that they're proposing. Sorry for this crude analogy, but we'll go ahead. So right now tonight, we're just looking at the shape of the proposed project. The owner and applicant, whom are here tonight, the Urban League of Broward County, Broward County School Board and Harris Chapel, United Methodist Church. Currently, the future land use category is both low density residential L5 and community facilities CF. Current zoning is single family residential R1 and community facilities. So tonight we are hoping to receive a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Board for the City Commission. Might be a little hard to take a look at or see but this is a portion of the Empowerment Platt here up on the screen. The Platt is composed by James M. McLaughlin Jr. This project in addition to all the additional companion applications has had five different neighborhood participation meetings starting off with January 21st and 2021 and just recently the last one was July 10th of 2024. The DRC approved this plat in addition to the land use plan amendment to be moved for public hearing last year August 24th. See here. It's previously indicated you can take a quick look at the existing future land use map in yellow. You'll see that is the L5 low density residential and then to the south is Broward County land use of N16 medium residential. Blue is a community facility within the city of Oakland Park. As well, you can take a look at the existing zoning map. To the north, east and west, we've got R1 single family residential. And then to the south, inside of the municipality of Fort Lauderdale, we've got both RD10, a duplex, attached multi-family, and S2 open space. So for the final plat, what the final plat is proposing is to dedicate seven feet of public right away along Northwest 21st Ave. 21st Ave is defined as a Broward County traffic way with a minimum of 94 feet required corridor with. The seven feet of dedicated right away will create the required 47 required right away from the center line west along Northwest 21st Avenue. There will be one point of access along Northwest 21st Avenue. There will be one point of access along northwest 21st Avenue consisting of 60 feet width within the platt. And then also there will also additionally be a dedication of 15 feet of public right away along northwest 26th Street. Northwest 26th Street is not a Broward County traffic way but is under the Broward County jurisdiction and has a minimum of 80 foot required with. The 15 feet of dedicated right away will require will create the required 40 foot right away from the center line north along Northwest 26th Street. There will be four access points along northwest 26th Street. There will be four access points along northwest 26th Street to consisting of 40 feet and width and the other two consisting of 50 feet and width. The applicant is also proposing an internal network of roadways that are proposed for the village of Oakland Park. PUD or their master development plans. There is no internal public right-of-ways. The City Commission will have to make a vote during the master development plan portion and rezoning of the project for private streets. So attached to the staff report is a copy that draft access easement and declaration and the sketch of the interior roadway survey. The proposed final plat requires review and approval from Broward County. There was a pre-application conference with Broward County on December 22nd of 2023. And then just recently on June 27th, the Broward County Planning Council considered the preliminary plat at a public hearing and unanimously, forgive me, approved the preliminary plat. As previously indicated, the DRC did review the Empowerment Platt and the companion applications and provided three conditions on October 26, 2023 to be associated with the platt. I'll briefly read these three conditions. These are also subject to Broward County to be associated with the platt. I'll briefly read these three conditions. Now these are also subject to Broward County approval as well. So number one, a master lot plan shall be provided and approved by the city prior to the subdivision and creation of any new lots before official submittal and recording with Broward County property, a prazer's office. Number two, the city's commission has final municipal approval authority of the final and the internal network of road ways proposed for the village at Oakland Park that will consist of private streets dedicated as access easements instead of dedicated public right away. And the number three, a platinum restriction is required to be added to the plat, limiting the subject property to a total of 469 residential dwelling units, which will consist of 114 townhouses and 355 mid-rise apartments, a 30,000 square foot community center, a 9,620 square foot church, a 7,850 square foot daycare, with 8,250 square feet of commercial office neighborhood retail sales use. Staff's presentation. It's time for the applicant to speak if they have anything, but we're just requesting the Planning and Zoning Board consider their request for the final pletum of empowerment and to make a recommendation to the City Commission. Thank you, Craig. Does the applicant have the presentation that they'd like to make? And if you could give your name and address, please. Good evening. My name is Sydney Callaway. My address is 201 East Los Olos Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale. Here, speaking on behalf of the applicant, the Urban League of Broward County, Inc. As well as Harris Chaplinc, and the School Board of Broward County as it relates to the 28 years. We're here, again, requesting approval of the final plat and with that we'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you. Does that conclude the applicant's presentation? Yes. Okay thank you sir. This has been advertised as a public hearing. Anyone who would like to speak on this is welcome to. You'll have up to four minutes. And this is to speak specifically and solely on this item. And please give your name and address when you come. Thank you, Fitzgerald Fitzbud, who at 720 Northeast 59th Court. I will request that this committee approve the empowerment fact. This is what we need for our community. This is a game changer, connecting each of every one of our neighborhoods together to this city. I've been waiting a long time for this throughout my career. And it's a testament to the Urban League CEO, Dr. Bar, to bring this application and the relentances that she put sure citizen residents, public input of what they want to develop become. That was a game changer. It shows us a model for all other developers to come out and how to come into our city. We are united because of the great Dr. Bar who had the vision to invest in open part, all right, in unity with all of us. And you know, I'm so excited about this application. It went through the DRC. Everybody got to go to the DRC. It's the expert committee. And they grill this application up and down. So with our city staff, thank Mr. Sutton, because he's ahead of the table when he goes through the application, but he's fair. And he's honest and with Sierra Moreno, it really puts this application through into completion. So with that, I know this board will approve it, and that's my recommendation. I guess I'm only person in the city that's speaking favor for it, and that's good. You know what I'm being? I love getting in front of a microphone and advocating. Thank you for your time, appreciate it. Thank you. What I knew Appreciate it. Thank you. Would anyone else like to speak? Say no on that close the public hearing and I'll turn it over to the board for discussion. Who would like to speak? Actually, I really don't have any questions. I just, um, would fits just said about it being a game changer, I definitely agree with. And if I remember correctly, a couple of years back, you proposed like a single-family neighborhood for this property. And you did the neighborhood participation meeting. They weren't happy with it. You came back to the drawing board. So, Kudos to you. Thanks. Thanks for being a good community partner. Go, babe. There we go. Not too much to say, but just the same thing. I mean, I wish a lot more developers would take heat to what you all done. Yeah, that's about it really. I mean, it's a slam dunk. Not just a game changer. Slam dunk. Thank you. Thank you. You're on. I'll be quick. I'm going to echo what my fellow board members said. I wish I hope every application that comes before this board would put the time in with the community. I think that makes such a tremendous difference and demonstrates such a commitment to being a part of the city, not just a profit making venture. And we appreciate it. I had two questions. One really is, I think, out of the purview, but since we talked about there will be one method of ingress egress on 21st Avenue. Would there be a traffic light there? Does that come up based on the traffic study later on? Or should I just hold that question till? If you could give your name again. So the city cowboy on behalf of the urban community. I just told that question till. And if you could give your name again, so the. Yes, it's the Callaway on behalf of the Urban League of Broward County and the other owners. I don't know the answer specifically board member, but the plans will be dictated by Broward County and will certainly follow whatever we're required to do relative to access. So they've got the dedications in place. So that will just come later with the traffic cities. Okay and I had one other question were there any changes when it came when it went to the county with Broward County and now it's back here was there were there any was there any? The only real changes been we've identified the gross number of acres the overall size being 20.8 acres. The net acres I believe stays the same. And that was basically again the county's interpretation of where you started to draw the line between the center line of 26th Street. Okay, that's it. Oh my gosh. Thank you. I have a few comments and questions. This has been a long process and I want to commend the Urban League and Dr. Baugh specifically for really spearheading this. It's very community oriented. There can be a lot of programs there. At first the community was very hesitant because this was originally zoned and the general area has been zoned as single-family houses and a lot of the neighbors, the residents wanted to maintain that they've been fighting to maintain that for years. So when this came along the initial response was resistance because they felt that they were concerned about how that would affect property values and so on. Over time, that has changed as I understand it, and that the community has increasingly been very supportive of this project, and I think, deservedly so. I just have a few questions. I understand that this is going to be some affordable housing there and the percentages are going to range from 30% to 140% of the area median income is determined yet what percentage of units are going to be within each percentage requirements. Thank you. Jermaine Smith-Baw, President of the Urban League of Barr County, addressed 560 Northwest 27th Avenue Fort Lauderdale Florida, 3-3-1-1. So the direct answer to the question is yes, the AMI is going to range our intention. If the AMI will range from 30% to 140%, that is actually outlined in our covenants. We know at least a third of the 355 units, the multifamily units, will range from 30 to 50% AMI. The reason why we know that is directly related to an investor who is very interested in ensuring the fact that we are able to get to that lower end of AMI. The remaining is still up in the air related to how we will distribute with the other AMI levels. Great. Thank you very much. I think it's great. I understand the utilities will be underground. Yeah. So that's great. In the property description on line six, it has with says quote within the eastern portion of the property there is a lush mature mango grove. Is that correct? Eastern? It's not the Western. That should be Western. Yeah, that must have been a mistake on staff's part for Kimoff. Okay. Fine. In the application it says property owners. This will be actually your application. Yeah. And it was listed as one of the applicants being the Board of Public Instruction. I'm fine with that, but given that it says that rather than the School Board of Public County, is that any legal problem, if not then fine. And will this empowerment in general be a not-for-profit PUD development? In terms of the development itself, I know the urban league is not-for-profit, but this development itself. Excuse me. Sidney, Callowee again, 201 East Los Osibull of our on behalf of the Urban League the entire development the ownership and the development will be driven by the Urban League's mission as a not for profit entity obviously there will be some sales of the town home units But that still is part of the Urban Leagues. What's that phrase we use now for commercial enterprise? It's part of the Urban Leagues social enterprise concept, which is again, is to take business principles, apply them to a not-for-profit use, and that sense. And again, the one thing that we do wanna make clear is that the Urban league will be the owner of this development in perpetuity as we understand it now. Wonderful. Thank you. Thank you. The preliminary school capacity of availability determination, which was dated June 1, 2023 actually expired in November 21st of 2023, is that a problem or has that already been renewed? That's not a problem but they will provide us with an updated one. When we bring it back in for the rezoning, the land use plan amendment and the master development plan. Do we need to include that in a motion? Or is that just understood? Mr. Chair. Please. We do have and I believe staff should have the updated school capacity availability, determined letter that was approved by the school district and I believe that document shows an expiration date for November 2024. So wonderful. And you'll be submitting that to the city. Yes. Great. Thank you. I'd like to suggest that a motion that we have will ever make some motion might consider including the three conditions that the DRC posted that was read here. Will the townhouses be an HOA? How will they be governed? And yes, how will they be governed? The townhouses will be governed under an HOA that is subject to Florida Statutes relating to homeowners association, there will be a master association that will govern the entirety of the overall development. So as you can imagine, not only are there town homes, but there also will be apartment residential units. They will also have a association of sorts that will be governed again by a master association that is controlled and is operating under the mission of the Urban League of Broward County. Understood. Thank you. I think that might be it. Yes. I commend you all for all the worth of you put into this and coming up with a really wonderful plan. So any further discussion if not a last-for-emotion. I'll make a motion. I'll make a motion that we approve the recommendations of the City Commission in support of the final Empowerment Plant Application CD 22-32P to include conditions from the planning and zoning division. Second. We have a real cop place. Member Revelli. Yes. Member King. Member Peterson. Yes. Member Gross. Yes. Chair Deren. Yes. Thank you, Dr. Vaugh and Mr. Calaway. Moving on to agenda item number four, I'll turn it over to the City Attorney. Public hearing to consider an application by Cypress Creek, Lee Sodor, LLC, and the Florida Department of Transportation,, a city of 4,929 square feet, 6.954 acres in that area of 370,129 square feet, 8.497 acres, and gross area located on the south side of East Cypress Creek Road, northeast 60 second avenue, just west of 95 within the FDOT Park and Ride Lot, and just east of 615 North Andrews Avenue at the city limit between the city of Oakland Park, the city of Oakland Park, the city of Fort Lauderdale, identified with the following three parcel identification numbers. Thank you. Uh, doesn't city have a presentation? Yes, we do. All right. Thank you. Um, is previously indicated tonight is going to be the first reading for the preliminary plat with case number CD 2318 P. Cypress Creek East located on the south side of the East Cypress Creek Road also known as Northeast 60 second Avenue just west of I 95 within the F dot Park and Ride lot and just east of 6150 North Andrews Avenue at the city limit between City of Oakland Park and the City of Fort Lauderdale. You take a quick look at the location map that's up on the screen. The area that has been hatched out in red is the subject property located within the city of Oakland Park. It's containing 8.497 gross acres or 6.954 net acres. As you can see, it is located just west of I-95 here. It consists of three parcel numbers. The current use is a Florida Department of Transportation Park and Ride Lot. What is being proposed in a very similar fashion from the previous application is a mixed use planned unit development. Though this is not an affordable housing project. The two owners for this are the Florida Department of Transportation and the Cypress Creek leaseholder LLC. The current future land use map category or designation is commercial and the current zoning is planned business center within the PCC to current status is pending a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Board to the City Commission upon the approval of the Broward County Planning Council. Real quick, if you take a look at the screen again, you'll see the Cypress Creek East face of the plant, so to speak. The plant has been composed by John F. Poulis. As I previously indicated, it's got 8.497 growth acres. This project has had two neighborhood participation meetings. The last one was conducted June 4th of 2024. The DRC, the Development Review Committee, recommended that the Cypress Creek East preliminary plat be approved and moved to public hearing on May 23rd. The separate companion applications for the Master Development Plan and the 286 flexibility unit request is still under review by the DRC. You take a quick look at our relatively crude map that we have here for the existing future land use. You'll see that the designation is currently C. It's more or less surrounded by the transportation designation. And to the west it also has a similar commercial designation the city is surrounded by the transportation designation into the west. It also has a similar commercial designation by the city of Fort Lauderdale. The Broward County of future land use map is commerce. The existing zoning is previously indicated as PCC 2. Within the city of Oakland Park, it's also surrounded, except for the west side, where the city of Fort Lauderdale exists by a TR, a transportation zoning district. On the west side, it's general business with the uptown urban village overlay district within the city of Fort Lauderdale. So very quickly, just to give everybody a background what the just or the general application overall. There's two companion applications one being the preliminary plat and then the other one being for a separate master development plan. They will be requesting 286 flexibility units. They're currently proposing three separate structures, one mixed use structure with a total of 286 residential dwelling units, a parking garage, 8,400 square feet of commercial retail sales use and 4,414 square feet of co-working space. That's all within the initial mixed use structure. Then there's also two free-standing structures. Each one of them consisting of 7,500 square feet for retail sales. Both of these structures will be fronting East Cypress Creek Road. The proposed master development plan will have a private roadway network as well as access easements and internal infrastructure. It's not gonna be the same is what we had just seen, but everything within there will be internally private drives. To continue the F. Park and Ride Lot as previously indicated straddles, the city limit between the city of Oakland Park and the city of Fort Lauderdale. So the combined area is proposing not just the Cypress Creek, the Cypress Creek East Preliminary Plot, but there is also a Cypress Creek West Preliminary Plot, which if I understand correctly has already been approved by the City of Fort Lauderdale, and I think it might have already been approved by Broward County, by the Planning Council as well, just recently, but collectively, both of these proposed preliminary plots within both municipalities of City of Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale and Compass, 12.14 net acres. So, briefly getting back into the preliminary plan, what it is actually proposing. It's dedicating two access points along Cypress Creek Road, the first consisting of 55 feet width and the second consisting of 120 feet in width. Cypress Creek Road is a Broward County traffic way arterial and is under Broward County jurisdiction and has a minimum of 110 feet with requirement. From what I understand there is not any additional right away dedication required but once it goes through the plating process with the Planning Commission in Broward County, we'll know at that time. So just like any plat here in Broward County, a plat note restriction is required to be added to the plat limiting the subject property to a total of 286 residential dwelling units. All of those 286 dwelling units will be mid-rise apartments and there will be in the federal government's position. We will be in the federal government's position. We will be in the federal government's position. We will be in the federal government's position. We will be in the federal government's position. We will be in the federal government's position. We will be applicant the city attorney's office is working with the applicant to conduct a text amendment. Currently there's a slight bit of ambiguous or ambiguity in our zoning district for PCC2. Right now, it currently indicates that the density is determined by the future land use, which the underlying future land use is commercial, and there is no density attached to it. But I can find my glasses here. and to section 2455, C1, all uses permitted within the PCC2 district are the same as those permitted within the B1 zoning district. So to clarify this and have no confusion, currently the B1 has a density maximum of 25. But commercial as currently is indicated within our comprehensive plan, commercial future land use designation is open-ended. So the city attorney's office is working with the applicants, attorneys. And I think they're ready. I'm not sure when it's gonna come, but it will be coming in front of the planning and zoning board to clarify and basically eradicate any kind of ambiguous component of what the the density may be. So I just want to indicate that now from what I understand I think the density is currently 33 dwelling units per acre. So the hope is to have a text amendment for PCC2 that indicates 35 dwelling units per acre. So just wanna make everybody aware of that. I'm sure the applicant can potentially stand on that briefly. Okay, so the proposed preliminary plat requires review and approval from Broward County, the applicants and the surveyer had a pre-application conference with F.On July 11th to discuss of last year, forgive me, to discuss the preliminary flat addressing the boundary and access impacts by F dot and Broward County. Upon the approval or recommendation, whether however the planning and zoning board sees fit to make a recommendation. Afterwards, the preliminary plat will go straight to the Planning Council of Broward County. It will not go to City Commission. That's how our code currently reads. But it will come back for the Planning and Zoning Board again, just as the previous case for a final plat, and then it will go to city commission. So the DRC has previously indicated approved the preliminary plat for Cypress Creek East on May 23rd, 2024 and made the following three conditions, very similar to the last plat as well. before and made the following three conditions. Very similar to the last flat as well. A master lot plan shall be provided and approved by the city prior to the subdivision and creation of any new lots before official, submittal and recording with the Broward County Property Appraisers Office. Number two, the city commission has final municipal approval, authority of the final plat and the internal network of roadways that are proposed for the Cypress Creek Crossing Master Development Plan. These will all consist of private streets dedicated as access easements instead of dedicated public right away. And then number three, a platinum restriction is required to be added to the plat limiting the subject property to a total of 286 residential dwelling units of all of which will be mid rise apartments and 25,000 square feet of commercial office neighborhood retail sell shoes. The applicant is here as well and they have a presentation they're going to make as well but we as staff are waiting for the planning and zoning board to consider the request from both the city and the applicant and make a recommendation to the city commission. Thank you Craig. Craig is saying the applicant has a presentation. Would you like to make it? And if you wouldn't mind giving your name and address. Sure. My name is Nectaria Chakas. I'm with the firm. Just hold the mic down. There. Sorry for the noise. My name is Nectaria Chakas. I'm a land use and the Nois. My name is Nectary Achakis. I'm a land use and zoning attorney with the firm Lockery and Chakis on behalf of Cyprus Creek 2 LLC. They are the lease holder for the entire FDOT park and ride lot, including the Oakland Park side and both and the Fort Lauderdale side. Let's see if you all have my okay. That's okay. So while they're pulling that up, I'll just give you some brief background on this. The site originally was intended to have one very large building and a lot of square footage that was gonna be straddled across the sport Lauderdale side and the Oakland Park side. That plan changed and it now has been split so that each project, meaning the Oakland Park side and the city of Fort Lauderdale side are their own projects and can stand alone. The one thing that they do share is a common roadway network because although they're in separate cities We want them to appear like a cohesive development and so they have shared access driveways Which are shown on our site plan and on the Fort Lauderdale side The Fort Lauderdale side site plan has been reviewed and the plat has been reviewed by the city By city staff and it is, will be proceeding to public hearings we would estimate in the next few months. But it has been signed off essentially by the city staff. The site plan on the Oakland Park side is getting is still in review. We just resubmitted, I believe it was today, for another DRC meeting. But the plat, since it is not really, we know where our drive-iles are going to be, we know where our access openings are going to be. And so staff authorizes to go ahead and proceed with the plat approval for preliminary plat this evening, and then we'll have to come back in front of you for final plot and then proceed to the City Commission. So we appreciate staff doing that. It allows us to keep the plot moving forward which can take a little bit longer than the site plan to be approved. So thank you to staff for doing that. The aerial that you see here is the same aerial that Craig had up on the screen. The subject property obviously isn in red. That is the Oakland Parkside. Then you see immediately to the west of us is a large parking lot and some grassy area. That is the side that is in the city of Fort Lauderdale. There the plant for the Oakland Parkside has access openings, two access openings along Cypress Creek and that is the main access point where there's the signal. It's a large at larger access point that you can see on that aerial and then there's going to be a secondary access point that's closer to the Fort Lauderdale side and that will travel south into the property and offer access to both the Fort Lauderdale side and the Oakland Park side. The the plat note is consistent with our development plan so the project is an eight-story development mixed-use project. It has out parcels which if you scroll to the last slide, I believe I have. It really occurs right there. What was that? Oh, perfect. Thank you. So this is just the notation on the plat. This shows that the notation on the face of the plot restricts it to 25,000 square feet of commercial and 286 mid-rise units. There we go. So the site plan for the project provides the access openings. You can see the main drive aisle that travels down the west side of the property that serves both the Fort Lauderdale side and the Oakland Park side. So that's one of the access openings. And then the main access opening along Cypress Creek. The project has the two out parcel buildings which are commercial. And then the main building which has the residential will also have ground floor commercial. That site plan will be coming in front of you at a later date as we proceed through the development process. But what's before you this evening is just the plat and that sets it's what I call a mapping exercise. You basically map out the boundaries of the property. Tell the tell the county where your access openings are going to be. What are the uses that are being approved on the plat and then the plat is recorded and then thereafter the property can be described as the Cypress Creek West or East plat. So that's essentially what's before you this evening is the preliminary plat. It will, the site plan again will be coming in front of you at a later date along with this final plat for this project. I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you. And as how you pronounce your last name. Chakas. Chakas, okay. I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Can I ask how you pronounce your last name? Chakas. Chakas, okay. Thank you very much. This has been advertised as the public hearing. Anyone who would like to speak on this topic and this topic only, please step forward and give your name in address. And you have the four minutes, please. Fitzbud, who's 720, Northeast 59 Court, no Fandugan's area, I literally, I go around there every day in that neighborhood, in that area. This project does meet the character, a side-to-screen. It's battling with four, well, on the four-lot of L, close to Pompano's side, commercial entities, and also development like mine that what the applicant is proposing. I do have some, I'll need some clarification questions. I don't like to know more about the Fort Lauderdale side project. It's similar to the Oakland Park Project, one. Also at the DRC, it was a nice intense back and forth between our managers and the applicant. First thing of note was solder ways, where those garbage containers was gonna be within the development. I guess I remember they wanted it away from any type of visibility that relates to the retail commercial space. I'm big on the retail commercial space because that's businesses, that's jobs, that's, I guess it's the West. Because we eat right here with the West side. The two may seem like it's all compartments for a lot of them, but there's businesses towards where they're weak access. So with that, I'd like to see the comparison between both projects or here, what the projects can tell. Two interest access. Let me see, you got one. There's a light there. African was correct because one light there. Now if you're going to make another access in an access, that's probably the four-letter outside of the project on Andrews in Cyprus. So it could be a lot with the new units. It could be a lot of traffic that may affect businesses getting it out. Also, our dean just has a transit oriented development. So that means we're going to have metro around there that you got the rail. So people are getting it out. So yes, this project, you're going to have Metro around there that you got the rail so people are ending out so yes This project you're going to have to work with our police department because it could be a traffic hazardous issues Because people we're going to have to have great signage in that area Okay, so these are the Obtivations what I know about the area. It's a great economic impact. Yes, I did one of the affordability houses. I wanted to see some AMI into it. But I understand you got to compete with the area. Cyprus, Greece, it's a high level property units. I think it's a pump and obese coastal fort Lauderdale site down going a little bit north on Cyprus next to the LA fitness this big use Development is going on that's probably completed along with a commercial office space Share working space. So I also like that can understand what is the retail and Area commercial space that we're going to have. Because I gotta say that's a game changer too. Yeah, I gotta use game ticket because there's more jobs in the city. Hopefully it's affordable rental space for our businesses. Because if you want to create job creation and entrepreneurship, but we need a little bit for the ability with the rental space. For that, that's for a minute. I don't know. Well, thank you for not ability with the rental space. For that, that's four minutes. I don't know. Well, thank you, and I haven't had the clock on me. But I do approve. 20 seconds for. 20 seconds of thank you. Are you keeping time on me? I do approve this, all right? But we have a lot of questions. I know this board going to grill the applicant in this application. But it is probably the me's the character of the North end of Cypress Creek and also North Andrew community. So I'm looking forward to the completion in several years, but we have to ask more questions, clarification questions. Okay, with that, thank you so much. Thank you, Zavut, who would anyone else like to speak? So you know, and I'll close up of the curing, and I understand that I need to talk up more, so I will do my best to remember that. And I'll turn this over for discussion to the board. Not really a lot to say on it, but I am kind of curious. He vicious brought up the four-law to the Oakland Parkside which made me think about I mean it's there's a lot of things juggling there what's like the timeline of that if if for a lot of it gets their stuff together sooner they'll start that you'll be building simultaneously or will you be building according to how the permitting and what not comes through the first building according to how the permitting and what now comes through. The first step in the process or the first phase will be to construct the roadway network within the development. So because they share the access drives, you know, the if Fort Lauderdale starts first, starts construction first, they need those drive aisles constructed because that's their access. They do have some access on Andrew's Avenue as well, which is on the Fort Lauderdale side, but as far as the parking garage entrance and some other things, Fort Lauderdale doesn't want the roadway network approved. And so first step in this construction will be to construct the internal drive aisles and roadway network within the development. As far as which development is going to start first, going vertical, that remains to be seen. I don't want to commit to which side is going to go first. The Fort Lauderdale side right now is going through a land use plan amendment They're the city of Fort Lauderdale is under undertaking a major land use amendment for the entire Cypress Creek area and not just the Fort Lauderdale property that you that you see here And they're creating a transit oriented Land use category. So we're waiting for that to proceed through the process, which is why I said earlier that the Fort Lauderdale side has been signed off by staff, but we're waiting to go to public hearing because that land use amendment for the transit-oriented development is under and is still in the process. The information on the Fort Lauderdale site, as I heard somebody ask a question about this, what is going on on the Fort Lauderdale site. The Fort Lauderdale site is a larger footprint. The building is a larger footprint. The property is larger than the Oakland Park side. And so that property is accommodating the parking that FDOT is requiring and wants to see for the parking ride because we are displacing parking for the parking ride. So the Fort Lauderdale side is accommodating the parking spaces for the parking ride and then they're also accommodating the buses because there's you know essentially a very large transit stop within the property right now and Broward County Transit has asked that we per make up for that and so the the parking garage building has been designed on the Fort Lauderdale side to accommodate I believe it's about seven buses six three okay well it looks like about seven on the site plan. So it's three buses and they're all within the parking garage of the Fort Lauderdale side. So that's what's going on on that side. And they also have residential, of course, some mixed use project has residential units and they also have ground floor commercial. So very similar in that respect in the uses, in that they both have residential units, they both sides have commercial. For the Oakland Park side, the other question I heard was, what kind of commercial are you getting? There are two buildings up along Cyprus Creek Road. There are the L-shaped buildings that you see on the site plan. There are 7,500 square feet each for a total of 15,000 square feet. We are planning for 6,000 square feet of restaurant use and then the rest of it will be retail. There's also planned for the ground floor of the mixed use building where the residential is an additional about 5,700 square feet of commercial. So Craig hasn't seen that yet because we just submitted it today. But it's about 5,700 square feet of retail on the bottom floor of that building. The other question I heard was about garbage. We have accommodated the garbage in the middle of the parking, the parking that you see on the site plan between the two buildings. That was the only place that we felt we could really provide service for both of the buildings. And you know, buildings are designed to have four-sided architecture. So placing it along any of the garbage along the buildings, you're essentially placing it in front of the building, which we didn't think was smart. So the other area for trash pickup on the mixed use building is on the south side of the building. I don't know if this thing has a laser pointer. Oh, it does. Okay, it's on the south side of the building. I don't know if this thing has a laser pointer. Oh, it does. Okay. It's on the south side of the building over here on the south side. So that's where it's been accommodated. And hopefully that addresses the question. Very good. Just more, I mean, every project has that traffic comes up with every project. Do you have any projections on what you're anticipating once complete what the amount of traffic that'll be coming in through trains and public transportation versus regular? We don't I don't think we have those projections. We hope it'll be increased because it's you know the Fort Lauderdale side is an actual transit oriented it'll be have a transit oriented classification by the city of Fort Lauderdale this is a commercial project and so by adding you know over 500 residential units and all this commercial you know the the hope is that you you increase ridership and you increase these things. So I don't think we have the projections on that. It's good. But yeah, logically, that was the thought process. Yes. Thank you. That's all I have. Thank you, Jim. I have a question. Yeah, I'm pretty give me if I'm being a little too forward, not forward, but, you know, getting ahead of myself. But I see there's a road on the south side. Does that go all the way through out to Andrew's Avenue or do we not know that yet? You're good. So I'm going to, I'm going to point to it. Hopefully you can see this. It doesn't really show up very well on the screen. I'm going to walk over and I'm going to point to where each road goes because it's a good question. It's a little confusing. It may show up better actually on the aerial. And maybe you can describe where you're pointing for people watching. All right. So this road goes down to I 95, which is the road on the east side. Okay. This road comes up like this and then goes up to Cypress Creek or you can turn and go this way if you need the signal and you go up that way. This is the full is a full traffic signalized intersection so you can do full movements over there. This entrance is a right in, right out. And then ask if you could describe for people watching and zoom because they won't, I assume they won't be seeing you. They'll just be seeing the map. Okay, so when you're looking at the site plan, on the east side, you will see a large access opening along East Cypress Creek Road. If you travel south on that all the way south and don't make any turning movements, you will end up back on 995. Okay? If you want, there's also a, on the west side of this particular site plan, so the left side of the site plan, where the red dashed line is, there is an access drive. So hopefully I'm doing a very good job of describing the folks. So there is an access drive that will be shared by the Fort Lauderdale and the Oakland Park developments. The Fort Lauderdale and the Oakland Park developments. The Fort Lauderdale side has access to their main leasing center and parking garage and such over here. And they have some parking spaces. There's also parallel parking along this particular drive aisle so that it feels, you know, urban and, you know, allows for additional parking for some of the space that's on the bottom floor of the residential buildings. If you head south you will then reach essentially a point where you have to turn if you're heading south you would be turning left. That left brings you to that drive way that can then take you to the signalized intersection at Cypress Creek or you can then say I want to go on to I-95 and then you could proceed on to I-95. So that is and then there's another driveway that's really it both, but primarily the Oakland Park, that just splits the property right underneath where those two L-shaped buildings are. And that travels east and west, and that is another internal driveway that provides access, primary access to the commercial. That's up along Cypress Creek. But the south exit doesn't go all the way through. Does any of those roads go through to Andrews? West to Andrews? No, these do not go through to Andrews. And there's nothing internally up above on the Fort Lauderdale side that does. Meaning if I'm on the Yolk and Park side, we want to divide it like that, I can't get to Andrews unless I go out. So I don't have the Fort Lauderdale side to explain this very well. Understood. So my answer to you is there is an access point on Andrews. That access point takes you through what is a garage. It's kind of grayed out on this particular graphic. You go through the garage and you can you can then end up on to this driveway. So it's not shown on this because it's not it's and it's actually within the parking garage of the Fort Lauderdale side and it's where a lot of the bus the bus bays are located that I mentioned earlier for Broward County Transit. So there's some angled spaces in there for the buses. But you could travel through from Andrews through this garage and then access the driveway on the west side of the site plan that you see here. Thank you. Thank you. And we'll provide all of this. I hear your questions. And when we come back in front of you for the site plan, we'll be sure to provide a nice graphic that shows how the side, both sides and the synergy between the two, we'll be sure to provide that. Great. Thank you. Else, Kobe? It's so early on, but I know we talked about what you talked about. The different skirt footage you got for the businesses coming in. Probably too early, but has there been any plans, how to get businesses and keep businesses in the actual area? I don't think that it's really on for that. Yeah. That's about it. You good? Okay. Well, I was. So just to clarify, because I know there were some questions from community members, things like specifically where the final placement of waste receptacles are and parking and loading zones and that sort of thing, that will see that that's not part of this discussion that will come up. That's that's correct. Yeah, right. Staff and the applicant will be bringing it back during that. So that'll that'll plan the master's moment. Great. I had a couple of questions. How how long is the lease the F dot lease for this property? I think it was the perpetuity. There's about 79 years left. Okay. So at this point we don't know the specifics of any of the units either. Other than the number we are making recommendation that that number is the number of units but as far as details of which that that will get to that. Are you referring to the bedroom mix? Yeah and that I guess that's really not part of the purview of this at all but the number of units is set. What's the total number of residential units? I mean we're talking I know we're talking east and west but it is ultimately gonna look like it's just Cypress Creek crossing and the average person going by is just gonna see it as one development, not two separate things. So what are the total number of residential units between Fort Lauderdale and Oakland Park combined? It's gonna be around 600 units. Total. Okay. Let's see. I think that was it. I think you answered everybody else answered all the other questions I had. Thank you. Thank you. Am I correct that the residential units are they on both sides or are they only on the Oakland Park side? Both sides have residential units. So the Oakland Park side has 286 units and the other side has about the same. 345, thank you. Exactly, okay. More units because it is a bigger site. Right, okay. Again, the utilities, I understand, are underground. So that's great. Yes. Within the utilities, I understand are underground, so that's great. Yes. Within the development. If there's something on the Cybers Creek, we can't control that. But yes, within our development, they'll be undergrounded. Great. Also, I'd like to recommend whoever makes the motion that they might want to consider, including the three conditions that staff is recommended. Then the, again, the issue of the Broward School Board says this application satisfies public schools' school concurrency. There is adequate school capacity anticipated to be available to support the project has proposed that did expire so in your case also does that do you have a more updated on the schools yes we have a preliminary scat school capacity availability determination which came back clean so and that's a current thing because it's beyond the one that expired then correct. Yeah, staff provided a one-day to June 11th from 2024. That should be attached to the staff report. Oh, so it's relatively recent. Okay, great. Then in the traffic study that discusses manual turning movement counts, that one seems older than 12 months. I'll read what that says. Which number? Number one. In the this the consultant was asked to quote, please collect new manual turning movement counts as the ones being proposed are older than 12 months, specifically July 14th, 2022, and we're collected during the summer when school was not in session. So, see it's on October 23rd of 23, said the subject turning movement counts were accepted by the city of Fort Lauderdale as part of the adjacent development application. Note that counts were seasonally adjusted for existing conditions and a growth rate was applied, I don't understand English here, but was applied, arrived at future background conditions in order to be consistent with the adjacent development's traffic impact analysis, we respectfully request to utilize this subject data. And then the consultant that was evaluating Kim Lee Horne said that has the word addressed. But I'm just wondering how bad adjusted, because if something is done one in the past and two during the summer, I wonder how that adjustment is made for other conditions seasonally, for example. So what happens is when counts are done during the summer, the traffic engineers add a factor that adjusts for the season. In other words, they add traffic into that calculation for the fact that it's not being done during the summer. In addition to that, what Kimling Horn is saying is that they provided the same methodology. In other words, that same adjustment as Fort Lauderdale and they also added in addition to adjusting it for not being done during school season. They also adjusted or added a growth factor. So they added a certain percentage for growth. And so what he's saying is that we use the same methodology that we used for the City of Fort Lauderdale, which added some trips to adjust for the fact that schools were not in session, and they also added what's called a growth factor to accommodate for growth into the future. And they're saying that this was accepted by the City of Fort Lauderdale, and then the traffic engineer that the city hires, the Cordino group said, yeah, we accept that. We acknowledge that and they agreed with it. Okay, great, thank you. Let's see. In number six of that traffic study, it says something about the drive-through aspect of a restaurant was eliminated. That would be as part of the restaurant land use. So am I correct that the restaurant will not have a drive-through? That's correct. There was an original will not have a drive-through? That's correct. There was an original plan that had a drive-through restaurant and that plan was abandoned and you now have the two separate out-partial buildings with commercial that do not have drive-throughs. Great, thank you. How is my volume and am I talking about enough? Okay. There were several items, eight, nine, and twelve. All of whom had this item is still pending. So I'm not sure how to read that. So as previously mentioned, the project is still being reviewed by the development review committee. I think sometime after five o'clock today they just resubmitted their master development plan. So all components, all different disciplines, including traffic engineering will be reviewed again. But as we've stated previously, the master development plan will be coming again but as we've stated previously the master development plan will be coming in front of the Planning and Zoning Board once it receives a recommendation for approval from the DRC. But we're okay to approve it prior to receiving that feedback. For the preliminary plot. Yes. Okay. And number 22 of that same document. I talked about shared parking. One, I want to ask you what shared parking means. And then I have a question about that. It has here, and I'll just read what the Kimberley Horn response is because that's the breath that's confusing to me. Although shared parking between complimentary uses is likely to occur within the site, this analysis conservatively assumes that shared parking will not occur. It seems self-contradictory, so I'm confused. So Sherrod Parking is when you have uses within the building that, for instance, you have residential in a building and then you also have commercial, like you see here. And some of the residential unit owner or the unit, the tenant may go to some of the commercial uses that you see for instance if there's a restaurant they may go and visit the restaurant and so you don't need that parking space because you have this synergy between the uses and so requiring the parking that you would, that the city normally requires isn't really appropriate in a mixed use development and isn't necessary because then you'd end up with a lot of unused parking which isn't good. He end up with large empty parking lots and so the shared parking assumes that there are complimentary uses that will, you know, complimentary uses like a residential use in a restaurant. That's probably the best one that I can describe. Where you have the residents that may go and they don't need their park their car and their garage. The parking garage, they'll just walk across the drive aisle to go to the restaurant. And so that parking space really isn't needed. And there are formulas that the transportation engineers use to calculate that shared parking. So that's more of a site plan issue but I wanted to answer your question. That's something we could definitely dive into for the site plan. It's a good question. But your explaining makes total sense. This makes sense to me. Yeah and there's formulas that they use that the traffic engineers use that end up being pretty accurate. Okay. Great. Then numbers 24 to 34 which is the final one. There's no response from Ken Lee Horne nor the Claudino group. I assume then that is the same with the same thing you were saying Craig that's going to be done. We'll see that at the final. That's correct. Sightplane. Okay. And there won't be affordable housing units in the complex. Just. No, there's no planned affordable housing in this development. I think that's it. That's all I have anything else. Just want to confirm that's site plan that we're looking at on the screen is where I had it because one on number 17 I think still shows the drive-through. Yeah. And just so I'm clear the intent of the project is to look like one big neighborhood or one big project. Okay. Okay. And well I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions when the site plan comes before us. Okay, thank you, that's all. Okay, anything else? If not, I'll ask for a motion. I'll make a motion that we approve the recommendations of the City Commission in support of the preliminary plaque, Cypress Creek East Application CD 23-18P, to include the three conditions recommended by the planning and zoning division Is there a second second and can we have a roll call please? Member Rebelly yes member King yes member Peterson. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Sure they're in yes Thank you and thank you. Well, thank you for your time. Well, we're up to new business. Let me just ask Do all the board members plan on being here at the next B&C board meeting the reason I'm asking is because I think ideally, if we have a election of officers, I think it's good. And everyone's here. So does anyone know that they will not be here? When is, what, what is the date? Do we have something to come make on September? Yeah, we've got quite a few items coming. So we'll definitely be having a September meeting. So it'll be, it'll be that first Monday after. That's correct. The first commission. This is a chance I might not be able to. We'll see. This is possibility. I don't know yet. Does that have to be advertised before we would do it? Yeah. What could we do it tonight? OK. What could we do it tonight? Okay. Then I will defer. Anything else before we adjourn? I have a question in new business. On our agenda that was originally scheduled for last month, it got cancelled. There was a text amendment proposal about, you know, a car repair use and that's tabled for now. Yes, it's still currently being worked on with the City Attorney's Office, but it's tentatively scheduled for next month. Okay. Okay. So staff would like to just indicate that unfortunately Melissa, Alexandra, is no longer in the planning department. Unfortunately for us, fortunately for her, she's moved up, she's got a grant coordinator in the engineering department now. But fortunately, and lucky for us, we now have Leah Castro with us tonight is her first planning and zoning meeting She came from the Parks and Rec department, so we are beyond Happy to have her with us. So I just wanted to introduce her briefly and welcome Leah. I'm sorry. I didn't introduce you specifically Thank you. Welcome Okay specifically. Thank you. Welcome. So that's it. Okay. And Jern. Okay. We're adjourned. Thank you very much, everyone. Thank you.
