Staff Re: Site Plan Approval for Portside Plaza,per City Code of Ordinances,Section 110-
223—Kyriacos Lagges, applicant— (8699 Astronaut Boulevard).
Mr. Dickey presented Staffs report/photos. This request is for Site Plan Approval. The property
has been"squared off" for purposes of parking. A Unity of Title process combined the properties
into a single development tract.
Through a temporary Lease Agreement dated January 22, 2015, the property owner secured 20
off-site, shared parking spaces to address the parking deficiency. It is a month-to-month lease and
therefore, considered temporary. As a result, the Preacher Bar is operating without a final
Certificate of Occupancy.
