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 City of Fort Lauderdale and the Housing Authority of Fort Lauderdale (Applicant) propose to amend the Broward Municipal Services District Future Land Use Map Series (BMSD FLUMS) from Utilities to Medium (16) Residential. The purpose is to provide a mix of affordable and workforce housing.
On June 11, 2025, the Local Planning Agency found the amendment:
• Inconsistent with Broward County Comprehensive Plan and Broward County Land Use Plan policies that address compatibility;
• Consistent with the Broward County Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and policies that address population and housing;
• Inconsistent with certain Broward County Comprehensive Plan and Broward County Land Use Plan goals, objectives, and policies that address historic and natural resources. However, consistency may be achieved by addressing impacts to the Local Area of Particular Concern through Broward County’s development permitting and licensing processes.
The Applicant has proffered a voluntary Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (DRC) to address concerns of the LPA’s findings.
