The Coral Springs City Commission unanimously approved a conditional-use modification to allow long-term storage of motor vehicles at the former foundry parking lot at 12640 Wiles Road.
Staff presented the petition — referenced in the record as CA 22-03 / CA 25-03 — and recommended approval subject to conditions outlined in the staff report. "Therefore, staff is recommending approval of the conditional use subject to the conditions that are laid out in your staff report," a staff presenter said. The site was described as roughly 16 acres and previously approved for vehicle storage.
The applicant, representing Coral Springs Auto Mall and identified in the record both as Anthony Tizon (petition text) and as Anthony Tassone (applicant at the podium), described rapid business growth since 2018 and a continuing need for off-site inventory storage. "We now do 1,800 cars a month," he told commissioners while outlining service and staffing growth and saying the Auto Mall remains short on spaces even after planned garage construction. He said the requested arrangement would be a three-year lease to allow the Auto Mall to clear inventory while it builds longer-term capacity.
Staff said a traffic consultant determined the proposed use would generate fewer trips than the previous approval, and the commission added conditions specific to the Auto Mall: no on-site vehicle sales, no customers on-site, and no test drives. Commissioner Sarah confirmed the conditional-use application fee is $4,251.
Commissioner Sarah moved to "approve, authorize, and adopt" the order; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Mayor Brook congratulated the applicant.
The approval allows storage of up to 650 vehicles on the site under the conditions adopted by the commission. The record shows the petition references prior approvals from 2022 and an expiration of a special exception at the Coral Square Mall in May 2026; the commission did not take judicial testimony and closed the public hearing before acting.
