The applicant is requesting approval of a plat for proposed Navarro Subdivision to be located along South Broadway at 200 Garfield.. Formerly known as Flamingo Bay Apartments, the subject property, atone time, consisted of nine separate buildings on one lot. The complex was occupied until July of 1997, and was later determined by the Zoning Board of Adjustments to be abandoned, according to Zoning Ordinance provisions for abandonment of non-conforming structures and lots of record. A mitigation agreement was reached between the Owner/developer and the City which required that the 5 buildings encroaching upon required setbacks either be removed or brought into compliance with the Zoning Ordinance.

Staff received the plat initially, and a letter was sent to the Owner/ developer describing what changes should be made prior to re-submittal of the plat.
