AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, PERTAINING TO THE WASHINGTON PARK, ROOSEVELT GARDENS, AND BOULEVARD GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION AND ENHANCEMENT DISTRICTS; REPEALING ORDINANCES AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION AND ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM, CREATING THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION AND ENHANCEMENT DISTRICTS, AND ADOPTING THE ASSOCIATED NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT PLANS AND AMENDMENTS THERETO; AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

ACTION:  (T-10:41 AM)  Approved.  (See Yellow-Sheeted Additional Material, dated February 26, 2019, submitted at the request of Environmental Protection and Growth Management Division.)

VOTE:  9-0.

The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the Office of the County Attorney at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting of January 8, 2019.

Repeals Ordinances creating Neighborhood Preservation and Enhancement Districts and adopting and amending related Neighborhood Enhancement Plans.

On January 14, 1997, the Broward County Board of Commissioners ("Board") enacted Ordinance No. 97-03, authorizing participation by Broward County in the Neighborhood Preservation and Enhancement Program. The Board subsequently enacted Ordinances creating the Washington Park, Roosevelt Gardens, and Boulevard Gardens Neighborhood Preservation and Enhancement Districts ("Districts") and adopted Neighborhood Enhancement Plans for each District. Several ordinances were subsequently enacted amending the Neighborhood Enhancement Plans.
 
On September 26, 2012, the Board enacted Ordinance No. 2012-25, creating the "Central County Community Overlay District" within the Broward County Zoning Code. The Central County Community Overlay District incorporates the requirements of the Neighborhood Enhancement Plans, thereby making retention of the Neighborhood Enhancement Plans redundant. This proposed Ordinance repeals the Ordinances authorizing creation of the Districts, creating the Districts, and adopting and amending the Neighborhood Enhancement Plans. 
 
The Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department, as the local planning agency for the elements of the Broward County Comprehensive Plan for the unincorporated area, will hold its public hearing on February 22, 2019, regarding the proposed Ordinance's consistency with the adopted Broward County Comprehensive Plan. The local planning agency's recommendation will be provided to the Board prior to the meeting of February 26, 2019.
