Summary Explanation/Background
THE RESILIENT ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE URBAN PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The request supports Broward County’s Value of “offering sustainable, compatible, innovative housing options for all income-levels, including integrated, permanent supportive housing.”
The proposed rezoning would change the zoning district of a County-owned lot (Exhibit 1) from Duplex and Attached One-Family Dwelling District (RD-10) to Garden Park Neighborhood District (GP-1). The rezoning is to be implemented consistent with Broward County Land Use Policy 2.16.3 regarding density. The purpose of the rezoning is to enable the Board to combine this lot with adjacent parcels for the development of affordable housing.
If the Motion to Direct is approved, the rezoning process would involve Local Planning Agency and Board of County Commissioners public hearings, as well as public notice pursuant to Section 39-27 of the Broward County Zoning Code.
