body
BACKGROUND:
The City of Coconut Creek, in partnership with Broward County, is undertaking a neighborhood study to seek consensus related to the future development of the Hillsboro Ranches neighborhood. This neighborhood is partly within the City limits and partly in the Broward Municipal Services District (BMSD) unincorporated area. Recently, there have been development applications, annexation petitions, and code compliance complaints in this area. Recognizing the development pressure and the divided provision of local government services that currently exist, the goal of this study is to develop community consensus on future planning of the area. Following community workshops, a neighborhood plan will be created, articulating community consensus related to development, redevelopment, and property maintenance standards.
DISCUSSION:
The Broward County Planning and Development Management Division (PDMD) staff and the City of Coconut Creek Department of Sustainable Development staff will provide technical support related to long-range planning, zoning, and code enforcement data; GIS support; annexation applications; available traffic counts; public notice costs; mailings; and provisions of meeting locations.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends executing a work authorization with Keith and Schnars, P.A. pursuant to Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, and RFQ No. 06-22-11-11 to provide said professional services at a cost of $25,950.
