THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE PLANNING AND REDEVELOPMENT DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

This 42.21 acre property (known as the “NE Cut Out” parcel) is located within the 1,949 acre "Wedge", located between County Line Road and Loxahatchee Road, and was transferred to Broward County from Palm Beach County by House Bill 1315 in 2009 (the “Property”). The City has filed a local bill to annex the subject property effective September 15, 2014.

On November 15, 2013, the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) providing for transfer of authority to the City to perform the planning, site plan approval, inspection, plan review, building official services and engineering work permits for the Property.

In addition, the current ILA, as per Section 1.6, confirms that the Broward County Land Use Plan is the effective Land Use Plan map for the Property and that a Land Use Plan amendment would not be required to develop a total of 101 dwelling units on the Property. The development of 101 dwelling units may be achieved by utilizing 97 available dwelling units from an adjacent parcel owned by Standard Pacific, in addition to the four dwelling units already permitted under the existing land use plan designation.

The applicant is now seeking to increase the number of dwelling units permitted on the Property from 101 to 131. To achieve this, Standard Pacific proposes to utilize 127 of the available units from the adjacent lands.

The adjacent lands owned by Standard Pacific permit a total of 600 dwelling units, of which 458 have been allocated per site plan and plat approval. Therefore, 142 units remain available. The applicant’s proposed development of 131 dwelling units on the Property would not require a Land Use Plan amendment, subject to approval by the City and County of a document ensuring unified development, such as a unified master plan. It is anticipated that a unified master plan will be proposed as part of a rezoning of the subject Property.

It is noted that the above referenced dwelling units, not including the four already permitted under the existing Land Use Plan designation, were subject to Broward County Land Use Plan amendment PC 10-20, which was adopted by the County Commission on September 28, 2010. As part of the Land Use Plan amendment approval, the additional dwelling units were subject to the applicant’s voluntary commitment to address affordable housing by paying Broward County either a lump sum payment of $282,342 at the time of the first building permit for a residential unit, or payment of $750 per dwelling unit at the time of issuance of each residential building permit.
