Davie council approves land-use and zoning items, tables one variance and schedules potable reuse workshop

The Town of Davie Council approved several land-use, zoning and administrative actions at its meeting, including an assignment of a commercial purchase-and-sale contract, a land-use plan amendment, a code amendment, a rezoning and a property variance. The council also voted to table variance item No. 12 to Oct. 15 and scheduled a pilot potable reuse workshop for Oct. 15 at 4:30 p.m.

The approvals began after staff read ordinance and resolution titles into the record. Council voted to adopt a resolution approving assignment of a commercial purchase-and-sale contract for property at 4589 Southwest 65th Ave (item No. 7). The council then approved a land-use plan amendment application (LA22-141, item No. 8) that would change a future land-use designation from commercial and residential (1 dwelling per acre) to higher-density residential (22 dwellings per acre); the council noted the vote required a supermajority and the measure passed. The council approved a code amendment to Chapter 12 (subdivisions, site plans and certificates of use) (item No. 9). The council approved a rezoning (ZB22-1425000, item No. 10) to change certain parcels from Community Business (B-2) and Agricultural (A-1) to Community Facilities (CF).

Separately, the council took final action on a variance application (V25-091, item No. 11) related to a private backyard pool project and approved the variance after staff confirmed Planning & Zoning had voted unanimously to recommend approval. Council member roll calls for the variances and ordinances were recorded on the public record and motions carried.

Council also took procedural action on two docketed items. Staff asked that variance item No. 12 be tabled to the Oct. 15 meeting; the motion to table was seconded and adopted by roll call. The council scheduled a pilot potable reuse workshop for Oct. 15 at 4:30 p.m.; that scheduling motion passed unanimously. The meeting also included proclamations (Hispanic Heritage Month and university athletics recognition) and several board/committee reappointments: the Public Art Advisory Committee reappointments, the Historic Preservation Board reappointments (including Brandon Herman and Jim Moore), and a planning and zoning reappointment of David Donzella; those appointment motions were approved by council.
