The first major item on the agenda was the approval of a special exception for a site plan to develop a new air-conditioned mini self-storage facility at 10750 Northwest 14 Terrace. The facility, which will be four stories high, meets all zoning and code requirements. The project’s representative assured the commission that the facility would not include truck, RV, or boat storage due to its limited site size. After a brief discussion and presentation of renderings, the commission voted in favor of the project, with commissioners expressing satisfaction with the proposed design and its compliance with local regulations.

The second notable item was the approval of modifications to a previously accepted development proposal involving three properties, including the site of the existing Nuvo Suites hotel. The proposal included the construction of an athletic facility featuring paddle ball courts, which aligns with the growing popularity of the sport. The applicant’s representative emphasized that the changes would primarily affect the interior of the hotel, converting some of the hotel units into multifamily residences, which is expected to reduce traffic impact. The commission was assured that a parking study had been conducted, projecting that the new use would have less traffic impact than the current hotel operations. The commission approved the modifications, highlighting the potential community benefits of the new athletic facility.
