Tamarac will soon have a new warehouse facility.
During the April 7 meeting, the commission approved an ordinance on first reading to change the land use designation from commercial to industrial for 6.1 acres at 5600 North Hiatus Road.
The subject property is the former location of the Gold Coast Schools, which included the Gold Coast Professional School and other professional training schools. The property currently includes an approximately 20,000-square-foot building, along with parking, landscaping, and infrastructure, according to city records.
The change from commercial to industrial is necessary to facilitate the development of the proposed industrial warehouse facility. This designation permits a range of industrial uses, such as manufacturing, production, warehousing, wholesale operations, freight movement, and waste and salvage facilities. It also allows communication facilities, recreation, community facilities, utilities, and limited commercial and retail businesses, according to city information.
