Body
Request Action:
Requesting consideration of a rezoning to the property from CR and S-1 to PUD, a planned unit development with unique regulations tied to a master plan
Need Summary Explanation/ Background:
The Development Review Report (DRR) prepared by staff outlines the rezoning request and compatibility and criteria for considering a rezoning. The item was considered by the Planning & Zoning Board at the Meeting held on April 28, 2026. The Board unanimously (7-0) recommended approval to the City Commission for their consideration.
The subject properties remained vacant and undeveloped until 1970, when the land was cleared and construction began. The Broward County Property Appraiser first recorded development in 1973. By 1993, City directories identified the Clubs of Inverrary, which operated as a golf and country club through June 2020, when it closed.
July 14, 2025 A LUPA (Land Use Plan Amendment) application was approved on first reading of the Lauderhill City Commission to change the Land Use designation of the subject site from a Recreation Land Use to a Residential Land Use. The LUPA received a recommendation of approval by the Broward County Planning Council, and Broward County Commission where it was forwarded to the State of Florida for their expedited review. The LUPA must be approved by a second reading of the ordinance by the City Commission which is scheduled for May 27th, 2026.
Staff is recommending approval of the amendment to the Land Development Regulations, subject to the approval of a development agreement that will affirm certain commitments that the developer has made as part of the application regarding improvements to the roadways and donation in lieu of donation of land.
