THE RESILIENT ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE URBAN PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION, subject to staff recommendations which will ensure compliance with the standards and requirements of Chapter 5, Article IX of the Broward County Code of Ordinances.
The applicant is requesting approval of a plat application to develop 400 single family detached units and 500 townhouse units which are further restricted to the residential lots of blocks 1 through 25, on approximately 157 acres located east of University Drive, between Northwest 30 Place and Sunset Strip, in the City of Sunrise.
