Development Services planner Pamela Stanton summarized the application and staff recommendations. Stanton said the 3-parcel, roughly 5-acre site is in the city’s T.O.E.O.D. (Transit-Oriented East Overlay District) and that the proposal uses a density bonus that the applicant said is tied to providing 4,800 square feet of public open space to permit an additional 60 units in the East Overlake District center subarea. Stanton described standard conditions of approval the department recommended, including a minor administrative adjustment for active-use requirements on secondary streets, mitigation of potential spillover parking (curbing/landscaping), dedication of required right-of-way, master sign program approval prior to permits, unity of title prior to permits and the usual pre-permit technical approvals.

Matthew Scott, attorney for the property owner Collier Atlantic Boulevard LLC, and designer/architect Melissa Smith presented the project. Scott and representatives described a redesign from an earlier 2019 approval: they said the new design increases on-site parking compared with the prior applicant’s plan, shifts access points to reduce curb cuts on Seventeenth, and retains traffic mitigation previously required, including a turn lane on Eighteenth Avenue as part of construction. The applicant said the prior approval could still be built; the new site plan is presented as a more buildable and updated design. The architect said the development’s massing was modified to step down toward adjacent single-family homes, and that an existing large live oak (the McNabb tree) has been relocated on-site and will be incorporated into a publicly accessible landscaped open space.

Public comment focused largely on parking, neighborhood privacy and safety. Neighbors and residents said they worry the project’s reduced-parking approach (the project and code contemplate lower parking in the TOEOD) will push cars into nearby streets. Multiple speakers asked whether residential parking spaces would be deeded to units; the applicant said initial operations do not propose to deed individual spaces to units although the operator reserves the option to assign spaces later. The applicant also said the project provides substantial on-site parking distributed across the site and that on-street parallel parking is counted under the code’s trip-capture assumptions. The applicant told board members it has collaborated with Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) in the review process and plans controlled-entry doors and security cameras; BSO would be able to obtain footage for investigations.

Board members voiced concerns about parking supply, neighborhood intrusion and the need for additional signage or other measures to encourage turnover in on-street spaces. In response, the applicant agreed to an additional condition that it “work with the City, including the parking manager, to develop signage or other measures to encourage turnover of parallel on-street spaces” adjacent to the project; the board incorporated that as an extra condition when it made the recommendation.

Board member Tundra King moved to find that the application provided competent substantial evidence for approval and to recommend the site plan to the City Commission subject to staff’s six conditions plus the applicant-city signage/parking coordination; Paul Fisher seconded. The roll call vote was unanimous in favor.

Key numeric and technical clarifications from the hearing:
- Applicant/architect cited 303 dwelling units (site plan materials and several on-record statements refer to 303 units). The applicant also referenced on-site parking figures in the presentation; staff materials stated the new plan increased parking relative to the prior approval. During Q&A, there were differing references to parking counts (applicant said prior project had ~370 spaces; another exchange referred to 388 proposed spaces; later operational statements referenced 303 units and the applicant said the initial operational plan would not deed individual spaces). The transcript therefore records inconsistent numeric references on parking; the board explicitly asked staff and the applicant to work further on operational parking signage and coordination with the city’s parking manager.
- The design team noted stepped heights to transition to adjacent residential: some presentation slides earlier referenced a larger height for one building but the project architect corrected a slide and stated the primary front buildings are five stories in the presented design; parcel 3 contains three-story residential elements at the rear to step down toward the neighborhood.
- Site drainage improvements, including deep wells and pervious paving for portions of parking, were presented as measures to reduce off-site drainage and meet permitting criteria.

The board’s recommendation sends Atlantic 1 to the City Commission with the staff conditions plus the added parking-signage coordination condition. The applicant will proceed to obtain technical permits and any required minor administrative adjustments as the project advances toward permitting and construction.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pompano Beach - Planning and Zoning Board on 2025-06-25 6:00 PM - Jun 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board recommended approval of Atlantic 1, a 303-unit mixed-use development west of Federal Highway, subject to staff conditions and an added requirement that the applicant work with the city on signage to encourage turnover of on-street parking.","taxTitle","Pompano Beach, Broward County, Florida","taxId",4289,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6513182,"Pompano Beach board recommends abandoning cross-access easement at 1 N.

Development Services planner Maggie Barshevsky told the board the easement runs on the west side of the Wawa site roughly 340 feet west of the northwest corner of Atlantic Boulevard and Andrews Avenue. Barshevsky said the easement was originally intended to allow adjacent parcels to share vehicular access across the Wawa property, but the industrial development to the west will construct a shared access drive and Wawa’s access will shift about 40 feet to the west. Staff concluded the abandonment meets the code review standards and recommended approval to the City Commission with a condition: the applicant must submit a FDOT letter of no objection prior to the Commission hearing.

Board member Carla Coleman moved that the board “finds that competent and substantial evidence has been presented” and recommend approval to the City Commission subject to staff’s condition; a second was recorded, the applicant agreed on the record to the condition, and the board voted unanimously in favor.

The applicant, Aaron Kosh (address given on the record), confirmed his client accepts the staff condition. Bobby (board secretary) conducted the roll call; recorded yes votes were Carla Coleman, Rich Dally, Gigi DeBeck, Paul Fisher, Robert Hartsell, Tundra King and Fred Stacer.

Because the board’s action is a recommendation to the City Commission, final approval will come at a subsequent Commission hearing after the applicant furnishes the FDOT letter of no objection.","Planning staff and the applicant said the cross-access easement on the Wawa parcel is no longer necessary; the board recommended approval to the City Commission with a condition requiring a letter of no objection from FDOT.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6513187,"Pompano Beach planning board puts three Palmyra-area applications on hold amid litigation",297,146000,443000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5075355-b24fa7bc8b38ad387725923572a16696&start=146&end=443","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5075355-b24fa7bc8b38ad387725923572a16696/thumbnail_146000.jpg","/articles/6513187/Pompano-Beach/Broward-County/Florida/Pompano-Beach-planning-board-puts-three-Palmyra-area-applications-on-hold-amid-litigation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513187-cf35f17f49bdb3ef0344fbeeee344f34/orig.mp4?Expires=1771088395&Signature=AkbXOa0psKpu8quE0pL-tRLN9DVxNCRUwIutj5ySXu-i7Af9gDIOqsm~uY1lJ83V1iXDC1kpJejMsF5tP1NYhoEeyEvEZqOroksIBH01-SXBTjW3C-SKJzo2AXxEw4lgEIlOwi42FPd8tkeTBQ4viEIe03HwkZ-7fJrJU8MR6wxgLAi66f1ijjGM7w5beqrv8RjDgzMWAdlkTIDONED4L3tN-wMTWEIM4Gq-PpoybhtMBixxmSDtjyzg~bt4SxBoQ6F~H053dO9EfG6EGC6hdy5ZqBqD7orQqFa5Wt9~8vy20eLmNQMY5DaBL3~u3jOBRPjDfsQmJHZLygVy8VP2tw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pompano Beach Planning & Zoning Board on Wednesday voted unanimously to stay consideration of three agenda items related to the Oaks at Palmeir development while pending litigation is resolved.

The board acted after the city attorney told members that Paul Mayer Country Club Condo Association No. 8 and two individuals filed a class action in November 2024 challenging the city’s allocation of flex units and other actions. The attorney said an amended complaint filed in late May added parties and that “because of the implications of the litigation ... the city attorney’s office recommends that review of the following applications of tonight’s agenda be stayed pending the resolution including appeal of the litigation”: item 3 (flex allocation), item 4 (major site plan), and item 5 (plat application).

Board members discussed and then voted separately to stay each item “until such time as the lawsuits and the appeals are completed,” removing the matters from the board’s agenda while litigation is active. The board’s roll calls show all members present voted yes on each stay.

The stays mean the three items will not be scheduled for Planning & Zoning review until the litigation and any appeals conclude and any applicable appeal period has expired. The city attorney clarified after the votes that the stay temporarily removes the matters from the board’s docket and that proper public notice will be given if and when matters return to the board.

Bobby (board secretary) conducted roll calls for each stay; board members recorded as voting yes in each roll call were Rich Dally, Tundra King, Gigi DeBeck, Paul Fisher, Robert Hartsell, Carla Coleman and Fred Stacer. No board member voted no on any of the three stay motions.

The city attorney’s statement, and the board’s votes to stay the three items, were recorded on the meeting transcript and will be reflected in the administrative record when the matters are returned to the board or proceed to other hearings.

The stays do not decide the underlying land-use or plat applications; they pause local review pending a court outcome and any appeals.

Notes: The city attorney’s office asked the board to stay the three specific agenda items to avoid inconsistent rulings while the lawsuit is pending.","The Planning & Zoning Board voted unanimously to stay action on three agenda items related to the Oaks at Palmeir while a class-action lawsuit and any appeals proceed.","actionData","errors"]
