Board approves PMD amendment and site plan for 7‑story, 289‑unit Broken Sound residential project
Summary
The board approved a PMD master plan amendment and companion site plan to allow a 7‑story, 289‑unit multifamily building at 850/900 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway, including 10% affordable and 5% workforce units; both votes were unanimous, 7‑0.
The Planning & Zoning Board on June 5 approved a master plan and site plan amendment to permit a 7‑story, 289‑unit multifamily building at 850 and 900 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway, including 29 affordable units (10%) and 15 workforce units (5%), along with a parking structure and a technical deviation to reduce a driveway reservoir distance from 100 to 70 feet.
Senior planner Owen Devlin presented the PMD amendment and site plan, noting phase 1 of the PMD had already been completed and that phase 2 will provide pedestrian connections and a mix of uses in keeping with PMD goals. The Community Appearance Board recommended approval with landscaping and screening conditions; the applicant updated species selections and materials per CAB suggestions. Devlin said the proposed development will contribute to the city’s TDM program (the combined phase contribution will be approximately $31,000) and that operational analysis showed no significant delays associated with the requested driveway deviation.
Sarah Thompson, representing the applicant, and the development team answered board questions; board members expressed support for the workforce and affordable housing components and for added shuttle access to Tri‑Rail. The board approved the PMD amendment 7‑0 and separately approved the companion site plan 7‑0.
