This the two-phase A ventura Hospital expansion now underway. Phase 1 is a
new 800 space 6 storey parking garage, now completed and in operation.

of the hospital building. This is being replaced with a new wing housing
operating rooms, an intensive care unit and emergency rooms. This picture
shows a three story expansion, however, this will be expanded to a nine story

HealthSouth Building
East Dixie Highway between NE 206 Street
and NE 207 Street
This is a new medical office building in the City's Medical Office District with
lobby and parking on the ground floor, parking on the second floor and office
space on the third and fourth floors - a total of 38,800 square feet. Permits
have been issued and construction is almost complete.
19 of the originally platted lots, totalling 1.22 acres in size, were amalgamated
to develop this site. The developer was required to apply for a variance to the
code because the lot size minimum of 1.5 acres was not met and all required
parking could not be accommodated on site. 130 spaces were required by
code and 123 provided on site, however, the developer provided off-site spaces
- 6 on NE 207 Street, 14 along East Dixie Highway and 20 in the FEC right of
way and is to make road improvements such as sidewalks, lighting, curbing
and landscaping. The variance was granted by City Commission in August of
1999.

A ventura Office Park
East Dixie Highway between NE 213 Street
and NE 214 Street
This is another new office building in the City's Medical Office District - two
one-story office condominiums with 16 units ranging from 1045 square feet to
1525 square feet and surface parking. Construction is now underway.
For this development, the owner amalgamated 23 platted lots for a lot size of
1.765 acres which met the zoning requirement. He did, however, need
variance approval for a reduced number of on-site parking spaces and a rear
yard setback. This approval was granted in July of 2001. As part of that
approval, the owner is going to construct 8 parallel parking spaces on NE 214
Street and install sidewalks, curbing, lighting and landscaping improvements
on NE 213 Street, NE 214 Street and East Dixie Highway.

Office Building
East Dixie Highway
north of
NE 214 Terrace
This is a new 1 story, 3,260 square foot office building on East Dixie Highway
at NE 214 Terrace. This building was completed some time ago and has not
yet been occupied. It was built under a vested rights agreement on 4 platted
lots totalling .28 acres. The number of parking spaces may be preventing a
tenant from occupying - there are 9 spaces and the vested rights agreement
allows only professional offices, no medical offices until it is connected to
public sewer.
