COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
TO: Mayor and City
Commission
FROM: Richard D. Sala, City
Manager
BY: Tammy L.
Reed-Holguin, Community Development Director
DATE: January 9, 2007
SUBJECT: ADOPTION
OF AMENDMENTS TO THE EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) OF THE CITY OF
Background:
The Commission adopted the City’s EAR on February 14, 2006 and designated the South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) as its review agency. The Commission approved the transmittal of the EAR to the SFRPC for sufficiency review per Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. On May 24, 2006 the SFRPC issued its final 90-day sufficiency letter. According to this letter, there were 86 items found sufficient, 12 items that needed additional information and 2 additional comments (see Attachment A). The City Consultant, Mike Miller, has responded to these comments and he and staff have met with and spoken to staff of the SFRPC and the Florida Department of Community of Affairs to review the response (see Attachment B). All parties concurred that the information provided in the amended document is sufficient and the City may proceed to adopt the amendments to the EAR for formal consideration and approval by the outside agencies.
The agencies have 90 days to review the document again. If there are no further comments, the SFRPC will issue a finding of sufficiency. The City may then proceed to adopt the EAR-based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. These amendments must be completed and adopted within 18 months from the time the EAR is found sufficient.
This item has been properly advertised according to the City’s Citizen Participation Plan included in the Comprehensive Plan. It has been determined that further consideration by the Planning and Zoning Board is not necessary and the item may proceed to the City Commission for consideration as the adopting agency.
Recommendation:
The City Administration recommends that
the Commission approve the attached Resolution adopting the amended Evaluation and Appraisal Report of the North Lauderdale
Comprehensive Plan, for transmittal to the South Florida Regional Planning
Council (SFRPC) for its review of sufficiency pursuant to the requirements of
Chapter 163.3191 Florida Statutes.
RESOLUTION NO.
