The subject property was once part of a 72-acre Planned Unit Development (PUD) named Shady Road PUD. The Shady Road PUD was approved in November 1996 and underwent four amendments between 1999 and 2003. In 2005, Tract C of the Shady Road PUD was replated and recorded as the Florida Professional Park PUD with an associated amended Concurrency Development Agreement. The subject property consists of Lots 3, 4, and 5 within Block "A" of the Florida Professional Park subdivision. The associated PUD plan has nine underlying conditions and condition number six states, "No parking will be allowed in the front yard along SW 34th Street Road (also known as SW 24th Avenue)."
A major site plan was submitted for review, and staff found that the proposed site layout did not conform to the associated PUD. The applicant subsequently requested a modification to the PUD due to the subject property's existing topography and noted challenges for the building placement within the site. Specifically, the property slopes vertically, approximately 17 feet from the southwest portion of the property to the northeast portion.
