An automated self-storage facility has been included in the plans for a mixed-use residential and retail development planned for Coconut Creek, Fla.

Bel Lago Development has obtained approval from the community zoning board, and now plans will move on to the City Commission. The proposed site is just east of Florida State Route 441 on the north side of Wiles Road. The planners are hopeful the new development will create a new center of town feeling for the city.

Construction, proposed by The Pugilese Co., could begin as soon January 2011. Pugilese operates Safe and Secure Automated Self-Storage at another location in Coconut Creek.

In addition to the self-storage facility, the plans account for nine residential buildings with 270 rental units, a restaurant, a pedestrian plaza, a linear park containing artwork and a man-made lake.

Anthony Pugliese, president of the company, told the Sun-Sentinel that the original design contained townhouses and more retail space, but the plans were modified to lean toward less retail and more rentals because of the economy and the market.
