Summary Explanation/Background
Currently, Section 5-182.2 of the Code requires certain findings to be made in order to determine whether an application is subject to an adequacy determination under Section 5-182.1(a)(4)a) of the Code. Notwithstanding, the Code provides for a de minimis exception to the adequacy determination requirement if the proposed development meets certain specified criteria including that the development consists of one (1) single family dwelling or duplex.
The proposed Ordinance amends the Code to increase the de minimis exception to proposed developments that consist of ten (10) or fewer single family dwellings or one (1) duplex. The proposed amendment would result in a greater number of applications satisfying the de minimis exception criteria.
At a public hearing on October 8, 2025, the Local Planning Agency will consider whether the proposed Ordinance is generally consistent with the Broward County Comprehensive Plan. The Local Planning Agency’s recommendation will be provided at the time of the County’s public hearing on this proposed Ordinance, which is anticipated to occur on October 21, 2025.
