FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — On June 26, 2025, the Broward County Planning Council approved five items on its public‑hearing agenda, including a small‑scale amendment to the Broward County Land Use Plan for the City of Plantation. The council recorded a recusal by Commissioner Lamar P. Fisher on the Plantation item because he said he is employed by the applicant, Stiles Corporation; council staff confirmed the necessary disclosure forms were filed.

The council convened the public hearing after routine roll call and passed an item submitted by the Town of Davie as a quasi‑judicial matter that Davie had waived. Members then took up the Plantation small‑scale amendment (PH‑3). Commissioner Fisher announced he was recusing himself from that item “because the applicant is Stiles Corporation, and I’m employed by Stiles,” and the chair acknowledged the filed forms.

Items 2, 4 and 5 were presented together and approved on a single motion. The consent agenda and other routine items were approved by voice vote without discussion. Council members did not request additional public comment on the listed items during the hearing.

Council member Adam M. Geller, in his role presiding over the meeting, and Mayor Michelle J. Gomez were recorded as participating in motions and seconds during the hearing; the transcript records unanimous verbal “aye” responses for multiple approvals. The transcript does not provide a full roll‑call vote tally for each item; council staff recorded one abstention on the Plantation item in connection with the recusal.
