Commission unanimously approves AT&T outdoor equipment storage site plan in industrial zone
Summary
The commission approved a special‑exception site plan allowing AT&T to convert a 1.87‑acre vacant parcel into a secured outdoor equipment storage lot with landscaping, a perimeter wall and 24/7 security and cameras; staff said the plan meets zoning standards and the police reviewed CPTED measures.
Lauderhill — The City Commission on Jan. 12 unanimously approved a special‑exception site plan (Item 2, resolution 26R0107) to permit outdoor vehicle and equipment storage for AT&T at 3760 NW 15th Street.
Planning staff described the 1.87‑acre property as vacant and cited code compliance for open space, drainage and landscape buffers. The applicant proposes a paved surface lot with striping, curbing, a decorative wall and a ten‑foot landscape buffer along the western boundary next to existing residential development; staff noted the police department reviewed and approved a CPTED security plan.
Chris Collins of Urban Design (applicant team) told the commission the amenity area and a portion of parking would be gated, the project would include security cameras and 24/7 security guards, and the facility is for storage only with no vehicle servicing or washing on site.
Commissioners asked whether the site could be a stepping stone to other uses; staff said any additional plan (for example, cell towers) would require separate review and a new site‑plan application before the commission. The commission voted 5–0 to approve the application; conditions will be enforced during permitting.
Next steps: applicant to obtain building and site‑work permits; police and planning will review CPTED and permit documents before final occupancy.
