Permits expeditious rescission of the prior vote and a vote on a slightly revised Resolution approving the conveyance property.

A. Allows the Board to vote to consider rescinding its previous vote on May 7, 2019, Item No. 66.

B. Authorizes suspension of a procedural requirement to allow the Board to rescind its prior vote on the same day it votes to consider rescission.

C. Rescinds the prior vote on Item No. 66 on the May 7, 2019, County Commission agenda.

D. Allows the Board to re-vote on Item No. 66, with amendments to the restrictions imposed on two of the lots to be conveyed.

On May 7, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners voted to approve a Resolution that would result in the conveyance of 21 parcels to the City of Pompano Beach, with two additional parcels to be conveyed to the Pompano Beach CRA. Except for one parcel, all parcels to be conveyed pursuant to that vote would be subject to affordable housing restrictions. The remaining parcel was to be restricted to public park purposes. One of the parcels that is subject to affordable housing restrictions is zoned B-3 (general business). According to Section 155.3304 of the City of Pompano Beach Code of Ordinances, a B-3 district accommodates “moderate-to-high density multifamily development (either stand-alone or mixed with commercial development), community residences, and recovery communities.”

After the Board’s action on May 7, 2019, the City notified Commissioner Fisher that the lot that would be restricted to park purposes would better serve the needs of the City and its residents if it were conveyed subject to an affordable housing restriction, and that the lot zoned B-3 would better serve the City and its residents if it were conveyed free of any restrictions (Exhibit 1).

Under Section 18.7 of the Administrative Code, in order to rescind a prior vote, the Board must first vote to consider rescinding the vote and, at a subsequent meeting, vote to rescind the prior vote. Section 18.1 of the Administrative Code provides that procedural requirements governing Board meetings may be suspended upon the affirmative vote of six Commissioners. Suspending the procedural provision would allow the Board to, in a single meeting, consider rescinding the prior vote, rescind the prior vote, and re-vote on the Resolution as amended (Exhibit 2).
