Resident asks CRA to limit height of residential buildings on Plantation General Hospital site
Summary
At a CRA meeting, resident Dennis Conklin requested that, if Plantation General Hospital is demolished, any new residential buildings on the site be limited to three stories in the footplate. The commission approved its consent agenda by roll call prior to public comment.
At a Community Redevelopment Agency meeting, resident Dennis Conklin asked commissioners that, if Plantation General Hospital is demolished, any replacement residential structures on the hospital’s footprint be limited to no more than three stories.
"I would like to make a request of the commissioners, that they please when they demolish Plantation General Hospital to not allow, residential structures higher than 3 stories high in the footplate," Dennis Conklin said during the public-request portion of the meeting. Conklin did not specify a demolition schedule or who would lead redevelopment.
The commission approved its consent agenda of items 1 through 3 by a unanimous roll call before public requests began. Commissioners recorded voting “yes” were Commissioner Anderson, Commissioner Andreu, Commissioner Gunn, Commissioner Horland, Commissioner Reinstein and Commissioner Sordle; the motion passed and the meeting moved on to public requests.
No formal motion or ordinance addressing the Plantation General Hospital site, specific height limits, zoning changes or demolition timeline was introduced at the meeting, and the transcript includes no staff presentation or response to Conklin’s request.
