DISCUSSION:
The property originally received Special Land Use and Site Plan Approval in 1989 for the construction of the Al Hendrickson Toyota Dealership, with subsequent applications over the years, resulting in the configuration that exists today.
In December of 2004, the City Commission adopted the MainStreet Design Standards (MSDS), which serve as the overall design framework for future projects within the MainStreet Project Area (MSPA) but do not have the effect of rezoning the property. Development applications within the boundaries of the MSPA are required to rezone to PMDD when redeveloping the site and be reviewed for consistency with the design standards.
The applicant filed a concurrent application for Site Plan approval to redevelop the site and expand the existing Toyota dealership.
Project Description
The existing site consists of two (2) distinct structures that include sales and showroom facilities, vehicle service and car wash facilities, three (3) inventory display areas along Sample Road, and an expansive surface parking lot with just over 900 parking spaces for customers and vehicle inventory. The existing dealership contains approximately 39,300 square feet.
The applicant proposes to redevelop the site by expanding the Toyota dealership from approximately 39,300 square feet to approximately 98,000 square feet of sales, showroom, and service area, and to add an approximately 157,300 square foot six (6) story parking garage and carwash/detail facility. The proposed facility will utilize portions of the existing dealership building while introducing new floor area to the site. The parking garage will be fully screened on all four (4) facades and provide vehicle inventory storage for up to 568 vehicles.
The existing parking configuration and landscaping will be updated to accommodate the additional building footprint and to bring the site further into compliance with the Land Development Code and MSDS regulations. The uses on the property will remain unchanged. The applicant is proposing site features that include a perimeter greenway connection along Sample Road, improvements along Banks Road, and enhanced landscape buffers along all frontages.
Properties within the MSPA that are zoned PMDD may utilize Alternative Design Solutions when challenges emerge in meeting the MSDS as written, provided the alternative approach upholds the intent and overall concept of MainStreet. This flexibility is particularly valuable for properties with existing development, where established site conditions can make it difficult to achieve full consistency with the MSDS while still maintaining the desired design intent. A full list of the proposed Alternative Design Solutions is included in the backup materials. Given the nature of the existing site and use, staff supports the design alternatives incorporated into the PMDD.
Green and Sustainable Components
Action 1.1: Commitment to pursue LEED v4 for New Construction Certification.
Action 1.6: Comprehensive sign that illustrates all green technology used within the Site/Building, e.g. pervious pavement, trash recycling, no smoking signs, walk off mats, EV parking/charging.
Action 2.1: The proposed Toyota Dealership development will replace the canopy removed from the building addition on site. Additional trees will be planted in the proposed landscape islands to improve tree canopy within the site.
Action 2.2: Material that has a high reflection value will be utilized for the roofs on the subject property. The roof will be a white TPO membrane roofing material with an SRI of 94, which will minimize any additional heat-island effects on the site.
Action 3.1: Electric vehicle charging stations shall be provided in the new shop and within customer parking areas located in front of and adjacent to the sales building to support alternative fuel vehicles.
Action 5.1: During construction, the General Contractor will segregate all construction waste generated and recycle the appropriate materials. After occupancy, the Applicant will continue recycling paper, metal, tires and oil. The Applicant will continue to implement a recycling program in the day-to-day operation of the dealership and during construction.
Action 5.3: The solid waste hauler will provide recycling service during construction. Fifty to seventy-five (50-75%) of the demolition and debris will be diverted away from the landfill.
Action 6.2: There are four (4) bus stops within four (4) miles of the showroom’s main entrance. Also, a greenway trail will be provided along Sample Road to promote pedestrian and bicycle travel. The sidewalk along Sample Road is 12’ wide. Bike racks and bike lanes are proposed as part of the site improvements to promote bicycle mobility.
Action 6.4: Twelve (12) parking spaces will be designated and reserved for alternative fuel vehicles within customer parking areas.
Public Involvement
As part of the application review process, the applicant held a community meeting on January 20, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Al Hendrickson Toyota, located at 5201 West Sample Road, to present the project and provide an opportunity for questions or comments. The community meeting summary and presentation material have been included in the back up for this item. No members of the public attended the meeting.
Mail notices and site postings for this item were completed in accordance with Section 13-36 of the Land Development Code. City staff has not received any public inquiries related to this application.
Analysis and Findings
Pursuant to Section 13-36 (e) of the Land Development Code, the Planning and Zoning Board shall consider certain standards when reviewing the proposed rezoning request. The applicant’s response and staff’s analysis are included in the back up materials. Staff finds that the request substantially complies with the standards below:
1. Is not contrary to the comprehensive plan;

11. Will not constitute a special privilege to an individual owner.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed the application for consistency with the above referenced standards and finds the rezoning request, subject to the conditions below, consistent with the rezoning criteria in Section 13-36 of the City of Coconut Creek Land Development Code and the Comprehensive Plan.
1. Outstanding DRC comments remain effective throughout the development review process and must be addressed prior to issuance of a building permit unless otherwise stated therein.
