Pompano Beach planning board recommends approval of five‑acre plat for indoor tennis facility
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously Feb. 26 to recommend approval of a five‑acre plat for a Florida Indoor Tennis development on Atlantic Boulevard, subject to two staff conditions addressing survey signatures and utility easements.
The Pompano Beach Planning and Zoning Board on Feb. 26 recommended approval of a five‑acre plat for Florida Indoor Tennis, LLC, telling staff the submittal met the city's plat review standards while adding two conditions before the city commission considers final approval.
Maggie Barshevsky, planning staff, told the board the subject property sits on the south side of Atlantic Boulevard across from NW 30th Avenue and would be platted as a single parcel labeled Parcel A and restricted to six tennis courts. Barshevsky said the plat was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) in June 2023 and that the applicant had addressed DRC comments; staff recommended approval subject to two conditions.
The two conditions cited by staff require (1) the plat cover page to be signed and sealed by a surveyor and signed by all owners, and (2) confirmation from the City Utilities Department that required utility easements are reflected on the plat and are sufficient to the utility director's satisfaction.
Elizabeth, the applicant's surveyor, confirmed the applicant's conceptual plan shows four indoor courts and two outdoor courts and said she would relay board feedback about neighborhood outreach to the site plan team. Board members asked staff whether site‑plan level neighborhood meetings could be required; staff and the city attorney's office cautioned that plats are largely ministerial and site‑plan requirements cannot be added to a plat approval itself.
Robert Hartzell moved that the board find competent, substantial evidence satisfied the review criteria and recommend approval of the plat to the city commission "with staff's conditions." The motion was seconded and passed in a recorded roll call vote with all members present voting yes.
The board closed the public hearing with no public speakers. The item will go forward to the City Commission per the board's recommendation and the two staff conditions must be completed prior to placement on the commission agenda.
Notes: this item was presented as agenda item LN461 (plat approval).
