Body
Request Action:
Seeking consideration for the approval of a rezoning and allocation of flexibility units to allow for the construction of 9 single-family houses located at the southeast corner of NW 19th Street & NW 55 Avenue (AKA: 5440 - 5456 NW 19 Street).
Need:
Action is needed to approve or deny the rezoning application accompanied by the allocation of flexibility units.
Summary Explanation/ Background:
The applicant Calvin Giordano & Associates (James Hickey, Director of Planning) is representing the Petitioner, Lauderhill Community Redevelopment Agency (Sean Henderson, Executive Director), and has filed two (2) applications for the construction of nine (9) single family residential houses: (1) a rezoning application and (2) a flexibility unit allocation application.
Staff finds that the proposal is generally in compliance with the city's Comprehensive Plan. The property has a commercial land use designation, and the proposed zoning district designation is a residential use. Given that commercial land use does not have any residential entitlements, flexibility units are required to allow the residential use. As stipulated in the Comprehensive Plan & Broward Administrative Rules, the proposed flexibility units must be allocated by ordinance in conjunction with the rezoning. If adopted by the City Commission, Staff will transmit the ordinance to the Planning Council for their records.
On Tuesday, May 28th, 2025, the Planning & Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning and flexibility applications for the City Commission's consideration. Staff has prepared a report that outlines the city's requirements, relevant applications, and adjacent uses. The Planning and Zoning Division has reviewed the information submitted by the Applicant and determined that they have satisfied the conditions of approval for granting a rezoning with the allocation of 9 flexibility units. As such, Staff recommends the City Commission approve this application.
Cost Summary/ Fiscal Impact:
The Planning & Zoning Division finds that the implementation of this resolution will not require a budget allocation or expenditure of city funds and concludes it does not have any direct fiscal impact on the city’s budget.
