Summary Explanation/Background
THE RESILIENT ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE URBAN PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The action supports the Commission goal of “ensuring residents have an affordable place to live by offering sustainable, compatible, innovative, accessible, affordable housing options for all income levels, including integrated, permanent supportive housing and zoning that helps residents build equity.”
The applicant, Landmark Development Corp., is requesting to rezone an approximately 1.71 net acre site from Duplex and Attached One-Family Dwelling District (RD-10) and Intense Commercial Business District (B-3) to Garden Park Neighborhood District (GP-1) and Garden Park Corridor District (GP-2), respectively. The site is in the Broward Municipal Services District (BMSD) Central County Community. It is located on the west side of NW 27th Avenue, the north side of NW 1st Street, the east side of NW 27th Terrace, and south of NW 2nd Street as shown own Exhibit 2.
The Future Land Use designation for the portion of the site to be rezoned GP-1 is Low-Medium (10) Residential on both the BMSD Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and the Broward County Land Use Plan (BCLUP). The portion of the site to be rezoned GP-2 has a BMSD FLUM of Commercial and a BCLUP of Commerce.
The Applicant proposes to utilize Broward County Land Use Plan Policy 2.16.3 (POLICY) to develop up to 100 affordable senior housing units. Affordability projects implemented by the POLICY do not require a land use amendment, however its implementation does require the Board to issue a finding of compatibility. The finding is one of eleven factors that are considered when reviewing a proposed rezoning.
The Applicant intends to apply for tax credits with the State of Florida in order to finance the construction of the affordable senior housing development. The tax credit application must be submitted by July of 2024 to qualify for the next funding cycle.
The Resilient Environment Department Local Planning Agency (LPA) held a public hearing on April 10, 2024 and found the proposed rezoning consistent with the Broward County Comprehensive Plan.
Further, if the Board sets the public hearing, the full amendment report will be included as an exhibit to the public hearing item.
