ICYMI: Mixed Use Development Changes
The City of Fort Lauderdale is writing new regulations for mixed-use zoning standards — changes that could affect the look and feel of development around the Galleria Mall, outside our neighborhood, and beyond.
The city has already held several public meetings, but there is still time to learn more and make your opinions heard. To watch a presentation about the city’s process and plans, as well as to respond to a community survey, please visit:
The upcoming changes are, in part, in anticipation of new applications for residential units along mixed use corridors in the wake of the state’s new Live Local Act. The Live Local Act encourages developers to build new affordable housing units in certain commercial, industrial and mixed-use zones.
The city has stated that, “The intent is to establish form-based regulations that address building and streetscape design standards, as well as transition to adjacent neighborhoods, based on the context of each area. ”
