(Attach additional page(s) if more space is needed)
Section 98-88(q) of the Deerfield Beach Land Development Code states: one the following requirements must be
met in order to receive a technical deviation. The burden of proving that one of the requirements is met shall be on
the applicant who shall be required to affirmatively demonstrate on the record, satisfaction of the necessary
requirements set forth below.
The City Commission may grant a technical deviation from the requirements of the off-street parking requirements
as it deems justified based upon the criteria described below with any conditions it deems necessary to assure that
the reasonable parking needs of the use are provided for.
Application WILL NOT be accepted without a specific statement in response to either i, ii, or iii on the
following pages.
i. The applicant affirmatively demonstrates that the application for off-street parking requirements places
restrictions upon the use of the proposed development which make the off-street parking requirements
excessive in view of the use limitations being voluntarily placed upon the proposed use (provided said use
restrictions are included in an enforceable development agreement). It shall be the burden of the applicant
to propose, with its application, the voluntary restriction:

ii. It is found that the arrangement of uses in close proximity to the proposed use is such that, when combined
with available mass transit or other uses which are likely to provide parking for patrons of the proposed use
without the necessity of seeking a different parking space, is such that the strict application of the off-street
parking ordinance requirements would be inequitable to the applicant, or unnecessary to protect the public
interest, or would be in excess of that needed to provide sufficient parking for the proposed use:

iii. A study is provided by a qualified traffic engineer or (AICP) certified planner indicating that, for the specific
use, considering any use restrictions, other unique characteristics of the area, or other specific elements
unique to the development, strict application of the off-street parking requirements will make it inequitable
to the applicant or unnecessary to protect the public interest to apply the specific requirements of the off-
street parking ordinance and that sufficient parking to serve the proposed development exists with the
granting of the technical deviation:
