The city of Pompano Beach’s design review committee on Wednesday delayed action on a site-plan proposal by New York-based Chetrit Group and local developer Ari Pearl, pending changes to their large, planned mixed-use development.
The proposed project, called Oceanside Pompano Beach, would span 360,989 square feet and would include residential apartments, hotel rooms, retail stores, event spaces and a parking garage.
The developers bought the 3.7-acre waterfront site at 20 North Ocean Boulevard for $42.5 million in 2009 from Bonita Springs-based homebuilder WCI Communities.
James Wurst of Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates, which is designing Oceanside Pompano Beach, said the development team will incorporate the comments by the design review committee and submit a revised site plan for approval.
The design review committee told the representatives of the developers that site-plan changes pertaining to fire safety and architecture, among others, are needed.
