Commissioner Annabel Lee Matab introduced the ordinance and said the measure is intended to give residents a lawful pathway to raise chickens for household use. \"I will never snitch on a resident that has chickens, in their backyard because they're trying to feed their family,\" Matab said during debate, framing the ordinance as a limited program to help families and protect animals.

Commission debate focused on enforcement and scale. Commissioner Butler said he supported the measure but asked that the city confirm whether four chickens would be allowed \"by right\" and suggested tying allowable numbers to backyard space and minimum setbacks. Commissioner Adams said she would not support an ordinance that allowed roosters, and staff confirmed roosters are excluded.

City staff and the city attorney said cruelty‑prevention language will be incorporated before second reading. The City Commission also described the ordinance as a pilot program limited to two years, after which the body may reassess.

No members of the public signed up to speak at the hearing portion for the ordinance. The measure passed first reading on a 5‑0 roll call. City staff told the commission the second reading and a related resolution establishing fines and fees will be scheduled for May 7 so staff can research enforcement and fine schedules.","On April 9 the City Commission voted 5-0 on first reading to allow backyard chickens under an ordinance that excludes roosters, establishes a pilot program and will return for a second reading May 7 for fines and enforcement language.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6608427,"Hallandale Beach approves mixed‑use project at 219 Pembroke Road with variances",1451,2438000,3889000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2939488-cd5888f73385db33557b2e33b9cd55c1&start=2438&end=3889","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2939488-cd5888f73385db33557b2e33b9cd55c1/thumbnail_2438000.jpg","/articles/6608427/Hallandale-Beach/Broward-County/Florida/Hallandale-Beach-approves-mixeduse-project-at-219-Pembroke-Road-with-variances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6608427-a25369197e3c55e1048d77e515f5f632/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164517&Signature=Y0j5AYkdfuCOFBnmlREY50tPvPLjWODJTfYCVzLQBKLJmDDkmI2ALU7s-PXhqNPUd41qIH2XQVRnKJ7D6Gczv2z0ZnnhvBlp~N4T31U2l8b1tawXN1vLgpD-gpr8zlYJCk8YFwWoxxLIJC8qRJG5-mtB5Wm7Yv1XrHnQmCqCiQpp4VKny71fv7hvzVZPDPPE9bUs5TmApAcz8G6xQopDwRulkhIB~QGclAE3nru9r1zm9Xx29tvbOB367q6dDga6Lk599o08B5ICUQFwIXR3G36b4gtQPnhtUO-IbHi9yBruE-OiXUnYNFohTH6y5uzxsDpaqMO2ep0HPq0mxKM~qg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hallandale Beach commissioners on April 9 unanimously approved a set of applications from SAG Development LLC to build an eight‑story mixed‑use building at 219 Pembroke Road, including variances and two redevelopment‑area modifications.

The project, as presented to the commission, would include 116 residential units and about 7,500 square feet of street‑level commercial space on a 1.49‑acre property. Staff said the proposal includes an eight‑story frontage on Pembroke Road and a two‑story townhouse portion facing Northwest Tenth Street; the applicant also requested bonus units under the county land‑use plan, which staff said triggered a requirement for four moderate‑income affordable units.

In a staff overview before the public hearing, planning staff said the application requested a waiver to the city code's requirement for continuous forward‑motion parking in the garage, a waiver of the civic open‑space requirement, variances to front‑ and rear‑yard setbacks, reduced transparency on certain facades and reduced minimum landscape area. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions in the staff report, including payment of water, sewer and building impact fees at permit stage, compliance with the city's green‑building requirements and recording of restrictive covenants for the affordable units.

Opponents who spoke during the public comment period said the development felt already underway and raised quality‑of‑life concerns for adjacent single‑family homeowners. \"I almost didn't come to the meeting today because I kinda feel like it's already moving,\" said a resident who identified herself as Madam Tucker, who lives across the street from the site. Tucker said the scale felt incompatible with nearby single‑family lots and warned the project would affect neighborhood walkability and green space.

Commissioners asked questions about buffering, the townhouse frontage on Tenth Street, and affordable‑housing commitments. Several commissioners noted the project fits the city's redevelopment plan for commercial corridors and emphasized conditions recommended by staff. The commission made three separate motions — for the variances, the redevelopment modifications and the major development plan approval — each carried on a 5‑0 roll call.

Conditions attached in the staff report require payment of applicable impact fees, compliance with green‑building requirements, and a recorded covenant for the affordable units; staff also included typical permit and infrastructure conditions. The applicant waived an initial applicant presentation and answered questions during the hearing.

The approvals are quasi‑judicial and commissioners indicated they relied on the record and the criteria in the city code when voting.

Proposed timeline and next steps were not specified during the hearing; the project will proceed to permitting and the applicant must satisfy the conditions in the approved resolutions before building permits are issued.","The City Commission voted 5-0 April 9 to approve SAG Development LLC's major development plan, variances and redevelopment modifications for an eight‑story mixed‑use building at 219 Pembroke Road, conditionally subject to standard fees and affordable‑housing covenants.","actionData","errors"]
