Executive Summary (General Business): Mattamy Palm Beach LLC, has applied for approval of a major site plan to be known as the Tradition Mobility Hub. The project is located within the Town Hall/ Community Center property at the northern end of the Civic Lawn in the Tradition Town Center sub area of the Tradition master planned community. The Tradition Town Hall site plan was developed with a 9,966 square foot Town Hall, a 750 square foot ancillary retail building, and sixty-four (64) parking spaces (P03-479). The approved site plan, P03-479, also depicts a future 8,000 square foot building at the corner of SW Meeting Street and SW East Park Avenue. The 8,000 square foot building was never constructed. As shown on the proposed site plan, this application will retain the existing Town Hall, retain the existing 750 square foot ancillary building and replace the 8,000 square feet that was never constructed with three (3) new buildings for a total of 29,622 square feet. The three (3) new buildings will be two stories. Buildings 1 and 2 will be located on SW Meeting Street and Building 3 will be located on SW East Park Avenue. The buildings will be used for restaurant space, office space, retail, and a transit center for the parking and maintenance of the TIM vehicles.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the site plan as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the site plan as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee.
2. Move that the Council not approve the site plan and provide staff direction.
Background: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the proposed site plan at their meeting of December 13, 2023.
Issues/Analysis: The proposed project will be built in two (2) phases. Phase 1 will include building construction and revisions to the existing parking lot to add a loading zone and to accommodate the proposed building footprints. Off-site improvements in Phase 1 include replacing the parallel parking spaces along the east side of SW East Park Avenue with angled parking, adding additional angled parking spaces on the west side of SW East Park Avenue, and adding angled parking spaces to the south side of SW Stephanie Way between SW West Park Avenue and SW East Park Avenue. Additional parallel parking spaces will be added along the south side of SW Meeting Street west of the Gazebo. The phase 2 construction improvements include a two-tiered waterfront plaza that is designed to match the existing tiered plaza to the east. The tiers consist of a lower plaza that provides users with shaded seating and steps leading down to the water’s edge and an upper plaza that creates two large open lawns beneath palm canopies. There is also a future shade structure with hanging bench seating planned along the western boundary of the upper plaza.

Special Consideration: There is an approved overall parking plan for the Village Center at Tradition. It provides for shared parking for the retail and office uses in Tradition Town Square minus the Publix Shopping Center and Meating Street Restaurant and 6,100 sq ft Retail Building site plan. The approved parking plan counts on-site parking spaces, on-street parking, and the parking spaces in the Tradition Parking Garage to meet the parking requirements for development in Tradition Town Square. An updated parking study was provided for the proposed site plan. The parking plan has been updated to provide for the additional uses. The parking study is attached to the staff report and the updated parking plan is included as Page 6 of the Site Plan.
Location of Project: The property is located in the Town Center area of Tradition at the northern end of the Civic Lawn, south of SW Stephanie Way and east of SW West Park Avenue.
