SUMMARY BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION The applicant, 7-Eleven, has submitted a plat application in conjunction with Major Site Plan Application No. 18-B2-128 to construct a new gas station with a 3,050 square foot convenience store and sixteen (16) fueling positions on the subject property. The proposed plat, “7-Eleven Hillsboro & 12th” includes a restrictive note to limit development to “5,000 square feet of convenience store with sixteen (16) fueling positions”. The application also includes a 1,861 square foot FDOT Right-of-Way dedication. The property is located on the southwest corner of Hillsboro Boulevard and Southwest 12th Avenue, adjacent to Deerfield Station. The approval of this plat is part of the required building approval process. Per Broward County platting requirements, no local government may grant an application for a building permit for the construction of a principal building on a parcel of land unless a plat, including the parcel for the permit, has been approved by the Broward County Commission and recorded in the public records. The County requires approval from the City as part of their approval process for the plat. The subject property was not previously platted and as part of the redevelopment of the site, the applicant is required by the County to plat the property. The applicant is requesting approval of the major site plan application concurrently with this application to redevelop with a new convenience store and gas station. The City’s approval of this plat is subject to Broward County’s final approval, which may include additional right-of way dedications. Eric Power, Director of Planning & Development Services, explained that the applicant will be presenting Items 2 and 3 together, but the Board will be voting on them separately. Further, he requested that Item 3 be heard, prior to Item 2. Thereafter, he provided for a brief overview of the item. Josh Long, Project Planner, provided a PowerPoint presentation. He explained that the project is located on the corner of Hillsboro Boulevard and SW 12th Avenue, which is zoned B-2 Commercial but adjacent to the TOD zoning. Thereafter, he provided a brief background of the property. Mr. Long displayed the proposed site plan and outlined the major changes: site circulation, removal of the car wash, larger convenience store, enhanced security and lighting and parking located in front of the store. Further, he said there will be a cross connection with the TOD development. Mr. Long continued to display photographs of the proposed project. He said 2 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MINUTES August 1, 2019 the facility is a four (4) sided architectural building; therefore, the TOD development to the south will include residential apartments that will front an architecturally finished façade along the rear. The aged trees located on the site have been incorporated into the landscape buffers. The landscaping will be enhanced in and around the aged trees, so if there are gaps, new shrubs or lower plantings will be added. In response to Chair Plaut’s question, Mr. Long replied that the store will be open 24 hours a day. Chair Plaut opened the public hearing. Motion was made by Vice Chair Bennett and seconded by Mr. Brum to close the public hearing. The motion CARRIED by unanimous vote.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION The applicant, 7-Eleven, is seeking approval of a major site plan application to demolish an existing gas station and redevelop the subject property with a new gas station including a 3,050 square foot convenience store and sixteen (16) fueling positions.

The property is located at 1200 West Hillsboro Boulevard in the B-2 (Business, Highway) zoning district and is approximately 36,484 square feet (0.84 acres) in size. The property was originally approved for a 1,331 square foot convenience store with four (4) fueling positions (280-HB-31) in 1975. In 1983, a revision was approved to add a standalone car wash building and expand the canopy to eight fueling positions. A second revision in 1993 was approved to replace the previously approved car wash with a new 648 square foot car wash building. A separate plat application (18-P-216) is being reviewed concurrently with this application to accommodate the proposed redevelopment of the site. The applicant submitted a traffic impact analysis for the proposed redevelopment, which estimated an additional 141 daily trips, 19 AM, and 21 PM peak hour trips. 3 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MINUTES August 1, 2019 The Planning and Zoning Division is unaware of any historical significance of the property or prior historical activities associated with the site.
