Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
It is the purpose and intent of an Interlocal Agreement (“ILA”) between government entities, pursuant to Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, to cooperate and provide for a means by which each governmental entity may exercise its respective powers, privileges, and authorities that they share in common, and that each might exercise separately in order to further a common goal.
The proposed ILA is for monitoring and enforcement of development activity of permitted land uses within the Oakwood Activity Center (“OAC”).
Through this ILA, the City agrees to monitor development activity and to enforce permitted land use densities and intensities within the OAC consistent with the effective land use plan, as certified by the Broward County Planning Council. Further, the City agrees to submit semi-annual reports to the Broward County Planning Council setting forth its monitoring and enforcement activities to enable the County to ensure the density and intensity of land uses within the OAC are being complied with by the City.
Consistent with the July 2023 (O-2023-09) Land Use Plan Amendment (“LUPA”), earlier this year, the City Commission granted approval of the Planned Development Master Plan for the Oakwood Plaza. The redevelopment plan sought to augment use of the property from commercial-only uses to a higher density mixed-use community use. This would result in increasing the City’s housing stock, expanding the existing commercial footprint of the City and ultimately spurring economic growth. The LUPA and Master Plan, which were found to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning & Land Development Regulations, contains the following maximums:
• 1.2 million square feet of retail;
• 1.89 million square feet of office;
• 3,800 multi-family dwelling units;
• 625 hotel rooms; and
• 2.50 acres of open space.
The ILA will monitor the draw down of units and square feet of the land uses on a semi-annual basis.
The ILA is being prepared in preparation of future site plan requests to permit development pursuant to the adopted LUPA and Master Development Plan.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this resolution will not fiscally impact the City as this is an agreement to monitor and track the development activity of permitted land uses within the OAC.
