ARCOM Appeals of B-063-2020 160 Royal Palm Way 

Z-19-00232 SPECIAL EXCEPTION WITH SITE PLAN REVIEW AND VARIANCE(S)  Zoning District: C-WA Worth Avenue  The application of 125 WORTH PARTNERS LLC (CENTURY INNOVATION LLC, MANAGER, BY ROBERT FRISBIE, AUTHORIZED SIGNATORY), applicant, relative to property located at 125 WORTH AVE, legal description on file, is described below. 
*MODIFIED DESCRIPTION* This is a pending application that is being modified to reduce the number and intensity of variances being requested; to relocate certain mechanical equipment from the east side of the property to the west side in order to address neighbor concerns; to provide additional data regarding compliance with the Worth Avenue Design Guidelines; and to clarify that the existing fourth story roof structure and structural columns will not be demolished as part of the proposed additions onto the fourth story. The application has eliminated a request to increase overall height by 12 feet and to eliminate a request for increased second story lot coverage. The application as modified requests Site Plan approval for the revitalization, renovation and expansion of the 45 year old nonconforming commercial building located at 125 Worth Avenue in the C-WA zoning district. The building will be completely renovated architecturally in order to meet the standards for renovation as set forth in the Worth Avenue Design Guidelines. The application addresses how the project meets the Worth Avenue Design Guidelines in Exhibit "G". The applicant is requesting to demolish a portion of the existing fourth story and expand its footprint to add four residential units, which are permitted above the first floor subject to a finding that the project meets the Worth Avenue Design Guidelines. Existing structural columns and roof structure will remain, and the proposed addition will be lower in height than the existing fourth story roof. In addition to the Site Plan Review proposed modifications, the applicant is requesting the following Special Exceptions and Variances required to complete the project: 1. Per Section 134-1163(8)b., a special exception for a fourth story addition. The existing building is four stories but the existing fourth story is proposed to be expanded. 2. Per Section 134-2182(b), a special exception to allow for on site shared parking, based on the professional shared parking analysis which has been provided. 3. Per Section 134-419, a variance to allow an expansion of an existing nonconforming building by increasing floor area at a height of 51 ft. 7 in., which is the height of the existing roof structure. The proposed fourth floor addition will be 49 ft. 7 in. in height, but staff has determined that a variance is required because the new addition is greater than the 40 ft. allowed under the use of the Worth Avenue Design Guidelines incorporated by reference in Chapter 134 of the Code. 4. Section 134-419, a variance to allow an expansion of an existing nonconforming building by expanding floor area at an overall building height of 52 ft. 3 in. , which is lower than the  52 ft. 7 in. existing but higher than the 40 ft. maximum allowed by the Worth Avenue Design Guidelines. 5. Per Section 134-419, variance to allow an expansion of an existing nonconforming building by increasing the existing air conditioned floor area of the fourth story to 12,663.5 square feet from 3,448.75 square feet existing. An open fourth story trellis of 6,322.8 square feet is also proposed in this application and included in the calculation of lot coverage, below. There is an existing exterior fourth floor covered area of approximately 3,335 Square feet in addition to the existing air conditioned floor area on the fourth story of the building. 6. Per Section 134-1163(5), variance to allow a minimum front yard setback of  1 ft. 10 in. for portions of the building in lieu of the 5 ft. existing and the 5 ft. minimum required on the private property. The sidewalk is required to be a minimum of 10 ft. wide and this proposal is a minimum of 8 ft. 2 in. in the area where the sidewalk is only 1 ft. 1 in. wide on private property, in lieu of the 5 ft. minimum required by code. 7. Per Section 134-1163(9)b., variance for lot coverage of 63% on the first floor in lieu of the 57% existing and the 35% maximum allowable in order to relocate mechanical equipment from the east side of the property to the west. 8. Per Section 134-1163(9)b., variance for lot coverage of 54% on the fourth floor in lieu of the 20% existing and the 30% maximum allowable by code. 9. Per Section 134-419, a variance to allow an expansion of an existing nonconforming building by increasing the existing building length at the east end of the building from 201 ft. 8 in. to 246 ft. in lieu of the 150 ft. maximum permitted as of right in the C-WA zoning district.   [Applicant's Representative:  James M.
