PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider and approve the modification from one side of the building being built out for a dentist office and the other side left as a shell to the building being built as a shell and interior build-outs with subsequent plans for tenant build-outs being reviewed and approved by the City Commission. APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY: Sec. 106.2. Florida Building Code (attached) Sec. 20-321. Administration. Sec. 20-327. Architectural Guidelines. CONSIDERATIONS: The building elevation and a floorplan for the eastern one half of the building were approved by the City Commission at its October 13, 2003, meeting. The applicant now wishes to build a shell and have the individual tenants provide floorplans and do the interior build-outs. This is allowed by Section 106.2 of the Florida Building Code and is similar to what the James Doran Group is doing with the individual build-outs at the JDC Building 1. The build-outs would require City Commission approval. FINDINGS: The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, City Code, and Florida Building Code.
