Previous Action Taken
On May 7, 2024, the Board directed the Urban Planning Division to initiate rezoning the County-owned lot (Agenda Item No. 30).
Summary Explanation/Background
THE RESILIENT ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE URBAN PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The action supports Broward County’s Value 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 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.
On June 4, 2024, the Board enacted Ordinance 2024-18 (Agenda Item No. 63) rezoning an adjacent 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 Board also approved Resolution 2023-32 recognizing utilization of Broward County Land Use Plan Policy 2.16.3 and found the rezoning compatible with existing and future land uses and the Broward County Zoning Code.
Affordability projects implemented by the Policy 2.16.3 do not require a land use amendment, however its implementation requires the Board to issue a finding of compatibility. The finding is one of 11 factors that are considered when reviewing a proposed rezoning.
The Resilient Environment Department Local Planning Agency (LPA) held a public hearing on July 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.
