Summary Explanation/Background
THE RESILIENT ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE URBAN PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The “Parkland Storage” property (Property) is in the Broward Municipal Services District and located in the northern part of the County’s urbanized area (Exhibit 3). The City of Parkland (City), which borders the Property on its west side, will annex the property effective September 15, 2023. While annexation is pending, the Owner, Parkland Storage, LLC, desires to seek all required zoning and building permit approvals necessary for development of the Property and the City desires to be part of that development review process.
This Interlocal Agreement (ILA) facilitates the Owner’s request by defining agency responsibility (County or City) for each application type. Under the ILA, the County retains authority over variances, rezoning applications, and land use plan amendments until such time that the annexation is effective (Exhibit 1). In addition, the County agrees not to consider enactment of any rezoning until such time that City has reviewed and approved such a request. Under the ILA, the City performs site plan approval, inspection, plan review, and building official services associated with building permits and engineering work permits (excluding the review of engineering permits for County-road improvements, which will continue to be processed by the Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division). Also, the City will perform inspections, building official services, and issue development permits. The City will enforce the Building Code upon issuance of any certificate of occupancy.
The City of Parkland approved this ILA by resolution on May 3, 2023 (Exhibit 2). The ILA had been approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
