ITEM NO. 2 GOLDENROD AVENURE PARKING LOT (PA2017-023)
Site Location: 506, 508, 510 and 512 Goldenrod Avenue
SUMMARY: A request to amend Use Permit No. UP3638, which was approved in 1998,
allowing the reconfiguration of an existing commercial parking facility on four lots
in the Two -Unit Residential (R-2) Zoning District. The Use Permit would be
amended to remove Condition of Approval No. 9, which requires a restrictive
covenant guaranteeing use of the parking lot by the commercial buildings located
at 2831 and 2855 East Coast Highway. The applicant desires to downsize the
facility such that two of the four lots are available for residential development. The
other two lots would remain as commercial parking and are proposed to be
donated to the City.
The Planning Commission voted to approve the project as amended.

Summary:
A request to amend Use Permit No. UP3638, which was approved in 1998, allowing the reconfiguration
