Board approves 7‑story, 289‑unit residential project at 900 Broken Sound with affordable units and a parking structure
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Board approved amendments to a PMD master plan and a site plan that authorize a seven‑story, 289‑unit multifamily building (10% affordable, 5% workforce) and a parking structure at 900 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway; approvals included a technical deviation to reduce a driveway reservoir distance.
The Planning & Zoning Board on June 5 approved a Planned Mobility Development (PMD) master‑plan amendment and a site‑plan to construct a seven‑story, 289‑unit multifamily residential building with a separate parking structure at 900 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway.
Senior planner Owen Devlin said the project is phase 2 of a previously approved PMD master plan and will include 29 affordable housing units (10%) and 15 workforce housing units (5%). The proposal includes amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, co‑working space and a fitness center that will be accessible to the public, and pedestrian connections to adjacent properties and the lake walkway. The applicant requested a technical deviation to reduce the required driveway reservoir distance from 100 feet to 70 feet for the easternmost driveway; staff supported the deviation after analysis found low traffic volumes and no significant queuing.
Devlin said the PMD amendment and CIMD site plan meet the PMD matrix and development standards; CAB recommended approval with landscaping and screening enhancements and color/finish suggestions for the building façade, which the applicant incorporated. The project will also contribute to the city's multimodal/shuttle (TDM) program; staff noted that the existing office building on site had underpaid a prior TDM fee and the new phase will correct accounting and contribution for the shuttle program.
The board voted to approve the PMD amendment and the site plan on separate motions; both measures passed 7–0. The approvals authorize the project to proceed to detailed construction plans and permitting.
