Case Number: 31R13
CASE COMMENTS:
A.
Please respond to Comments 1 through 17 prior to Final DRC sign off
1. Meet the City’s adequacy requirements with respect to services provided to the public (such as fire
service, water, sanitary sewer, drainage, transportation, etc.), as per Section 47-25.2 of the City’s
Code of Ordinances. The applicant’s engineer shall assess potential demands and impacts on
those services and prepare a design for each that utilizes (as is reasonable) any existing water,
sewer, drainage, and street infrastructure to adequately serve this project. In the event inadequate
infrastructure exists, the engineer must prepare a design that extends/expands to the nearest City
system for the purpose of serving this development. The engineer must prepare service demand
calculations for water and sewer and obtain a letter of service availability from City’s utilities, Jorge
Holguin at 954-828-5675 or jorgeh@fortlauderdale.gov.
2. Submit a Traffic Impact Statement, prepared by a registered traffic engineer in the State of Florida,
to ascertain whether the proposed development will have an adverse impact (congestion &
potential safety concerns) on the surrounding and supporting transportation infrastructure. The
Traffic Impact Statement, as minimum, shall address 1) trip generation and daily peak hours; 2)
anticipated vehicular conflicts at driveways; and 3) on-site traffic circulation issues and any other
traffic safety issues; transit, bike and pedestrian facilities and requirements, if applicable. However,
if the results from the Traffic Impact Statement, after being evaluated by the City and City’s Traffic
Consultant, indicate that a full extent traffic impact will be required, the Applicant shall 1) submit
$4,000 deposit for reviewing the study report by City’s staff and traffic consultant and 2) schedule a
methodology meeting prior to implementing the study. The Applicant shall forward four (4) copies
the study and sufficient plans for the review by City’s Traffic Engineer and City’s consultant. Please
show the DRC case number on all documents and transmittals. Please contact Keela Black at
(954) 828-3794 for the procedure concerning the methodology meeting and funding. In addition,
should you have any questions or concerns regarding the procedures and guidelines of the traffic

landscaping or objects of any kind) is permitted to be located between a height of two and one-half
(2½) and eight (8) feet above the adjoining edge of pavement. The sight triangle is measured ten
(10) feet from the intersection point of the edge of pavement and the driveway and fifteen (15) feet
from the intersection point of the extended property lines at an alley and a street

on-street parking spaces along the alley will be accommodated for with zero discharge to alleys
right of way. The calculations shall show how the minimum road crown, the perimeter berm, and
finished floor elevations are met and how the 25-year, 3-day storm event is maintained on site with
zero discharge to right-of-way and adjacent properties.

25. Obtain, if required, a dewatering permit from the Broward County Environmental Protection Dept.
(EPD). This permit is required only if the site is within 1/4 mile of a known contamination site. The
EPD contact is David Vanlandingham (dvanlandingham@broward.org or 954/519-1478). He
prefers to be notified via email for the quickest response. You can view their standard operation
procedures for dewatering at http://www.broward.org/pprd/cs_dewatering.htm.
26. Pay capital expansion fees for water and wastewater treatment, distribution, and disposal at the
rate identified in Ordinance C-05-21. The fee will be calculated from the basis of how many
Equivalent Residential Connections (ERC) result from the design minus existing ERCs. In the
event the development team can demonstrate existing units for credit the net fee is reduced
following confirmation of any existing flows, and paid prior to the issuance of the building permit.
The cost per each ERC Is $1,368 for water and $651 for wastewater. The cost per each ERC is
$1,368 for water and $651 for wastewater. For additional information on the said fees, contact Ms.
Monica Santisi at (954) 828-5990.

Maintain fine-grained street grid: discourage vacations.
S2
Utilize Traffic Calming rather than blocking streets.

pedestrian public space instead of unusable, leftover ‘green perimeter’.
B3
Framing the street: minimum and maximum building ‘streetwall’ heights
(see character area guidelines for specifics).
B4
Framing the street: encourage maximum building ‘streetwall’ length of
300ft.
B5
Preferred maximum ‘floorplate’ area for towers (see character area

Primary Street.
B7
Where towers are located on streets < or = 60ft, increased stepbacks
from the ‘shoulder’ are encouraged to reduce the impact on the street.
B8
Surface parking: discourage frontage and access along ‘primary’ street.
B9
Parking garages: encourage access from secondary streets and alleys.
Encourage street level activities and minimize visual exposure of
parking, with active space on the ground floor of a parking garage.
Upper floors of a parking garage should not be visible along primary
streets, waterways, and parks. Active spaces on the upper floors are
encouraged as a preferred design.
As garage is not lined with habitable space, consider higher quality
cladding material and fully screen all openings.
B10 Encourage main pedestrian entrance to face street.

Parking Podium Façades: Where structured parking must be exposed

The internal garage ramp impacts the external appearance of the
building façade facing Federal Highway. Consider an architectural
solution that expresses the ramp outwardly, or one that encloses the
ramp within a perpendicular projection. Further, any treatment of
openings should include full screening.
Q6 Response to Natural Environment: Encourage architecture to respond
to the unique nature of the south Florida environment (solar orientation,
wind direction, rain). Examples: Open breezeway corridors oriented
toward prevailing winds; energy efficient glazing; above ground
stormwater capture and re-use through bio-swales and rain gardens;
solar roof panes/awnings.
