Background:
The project area consists of the existing Atlantic Plaza, a stand-alone 62 space parking lot located at the northeast corner of NE 1 Street and NE 7 Avenue, and four buildings (recently demolished) that were constructed between 1962 and 1979 which contained offices, retail and an auction house. A gasoline station and multiple family residences previously located along NE 6th Avenue have since been demolished. The project area is a replat of a portion of CDS Delray Redevelopment (Plat Book 116, Pages 172-182), a replat of a portion of Block 123, Town of Linton (Plat Book 1, Page 3) and the NE 7th Avenue right-of-way (now abandoned) between Atlantic Avenue and NE 1st Street . The entire 9.229 acre project area has a lengthy history of development approvals and the following is a summary of the most recent approvals since 2012. Please refer to the Background Section of the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board Staff Report of November 20, 2013 for a more comprehensive and detailed summary of all development approvals. The project consists of 37,642 square feet of retail floor area, 39,434 square feet of restaurant floor area, 83,462 square feet of office floor area, and 343 dwelling units.
