On November 13, 2025, the Board set a public hearing to consider the proposed rezoning.
Summary Explanation/Background
THE PUBLIC WORKS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THE HOUSING AND URBAN PLANNING DIVISION, AND THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The action supports Broward County’s 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 City of Fort Lauderdale and the Fort Lauderdale Housing Authority are requesting to rezone the property from Agriculture and Utilities District (A-3), to One-Family Detached Dwelling (RS-5) for that portion that fronts SW 46 Avenue, and Multifamily Dwelling (RM-16) for the remainder of the property. The intent is to provide affordable housing.
On October 8, 2025, the Local Planning Agency recommended that the Board of County Commissioners find the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the Broward County Comprehensive Plan provided future land use map amendments to both the Broward County Land Use Plan (BCLUP) and Broward Municipal Services District (BMSD) future land use maps (FLUMS) are approved. Public hearings on the BCLUP and BMSD FLUMS amendments also are being scheduled.
