PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 94-318
TO:
Chairman and Members of the Planning and
Development Board
FROM:
Michael E. Haag
site and Zoning Development Administrator

RE:
Gulfstream Professional Building
variance to Article X - Parking Lots Section 5-142 (h)
(3) "Driveways" File No. PKLV 94-002
Section 5-145 (~) (4) of the Code of ordinances requires that when
a variance to Section 5, Article X, Parking Lots is requested, the
Technical Review Board (Technical Review Committee) must forward to
the Planning and zoning Board (Planning and Development Board) a
recommendation that is to be part of the public hearing
proceedings. To that end, this memo is forwarded, consistent with
the requirements of Section 5-145 (c) (4).
Robert Lake, agent for Leopold and Phillip Ettinger, owners of the
subject property, is requesting a variance to section 5-142 (h) (3)
of the Parking Lot Regulations. The variance is requested in
connection with a new tenant, a church, propos ing to occupy a
portion of the existing office building located at 500 S.E. 36th
Avenue (Gulfstream Blvd. ) . The new tenant changes the use of the
tenant space from office to a church. The use change results in
the need of additional parking spaces to accommodate the church.
A change in use which requires additional parking spaces causes the
existing parking facility to conform to current parking lot
standards. The property is located at the southeast corner of
Gulfstream Boulevard and old Dixie Highway.
section 5-142 (h) (3), in part, is described as follows:
No parking lot driveway may be
constructed closer than thirty (30) feet
from the intersection of the right-of-way
lines along local streets and one hundred
eighty (180) feet along streets of a
higher classification as shown on the
city or county thoroughfare plans.
The driveway under consideration is located on the old Dixie
Highway right-of-way. Old Dixie Highway is classified as a
"collector" which is a higher classification than a local street.
The purpose of the one hundred eighty (180) feet distance
requirement is to allow vehicles to ingress or egress a site
without becoming part of the stacking of vehicles waiting at the
intersection or turning at the intersection, and to allow vehicles
egressing a site to access a traffic lane while approaching an
intersection. The 180 feet distance requirement creates safe
traffic flow into and out of a site when a driveway is located near
an intersection.

PLV Gulfstream Professional BUilding
As previously stated the site is an improved site with an existing
25,282 square foot bUilding with associated parking facility and
landscaping. The use change of adding the church tenant to the
bUilding requires the eXisting parking faci! i ty to conform to
current standards. The existing building was approved by the City
Commission on June 2, 1981 and at that time the parking lot code
requirement for a driveway was as follows:
i
Section 5-141. Entrances and Exits
Each parking lot shall have at least
one common entrance and one common
exit and the location shall be
approved by the City Councilor its
designated agent.
(Code 1958, Sec. 18-6)
The current code requirement, Section 5-142 (h) (3), as previously
defined, was established March 16, 1982, by Ordinance No. 82-8.
For an illustration of the existing site, see the attached copy of
a reduced site plan of the property. For an explanation of the
code requirement, the nature of the request and the variance
justification, please refer to the attached copy of the variance
application submitted by the applicant.
On Tuesday, September 27, 1994, the Technical Review Committee
(TRC), met to review the plans and documents submitted to formulate
a recommendation with regard to the variance request. After review
and discussion, the TRC unanimously recommended that the variance
request be approved as submitted.
