Summary
The City Commission approved amendments to the city's comprehensive plan to extend the planning horizon to 2050, add optional urban design and implementation elements, and ensure compliance with recent state bills; adoption was unanimous on second reading.
The City of Tamarac adopted an updated comprehensive plan (Tamarac 2050) on second reading Nov. 12, following a staff-led summary of state comments and revisions.
Corradino Group consultant Jerome Ross told commissioners the update added mandatory and optional elements, clarified densities and intensities for mixed-use areas, and adjusted the planning horizon to 2050 to meet state requirements. Ross also said the plan was revised to avoid language that could be construed as overburdensome under Senate Bill 180 (which restricts certain development moratoria and limits restrictive amendments in the aftermath of major hurricanes).
The city will transmit the adopted document to state review and then to the Broward County Planning Council. Ross said the state review window has been reduced to 45 days and that staff and consultants will pursue timely placement on the county planning council agenda for final adoption.
Commissioners approved the plan 5-0. The adoption updates multiple plan elements including future land use, transportation, housing, infrastructure, conservation, recreation, capital improvements and an optional urban design and implementation-administration element.
