summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
To further strengthen Pompano Beach as a “Preferred Place to do Business” and to enhance the City’s reputation as being “business friendly”, Development Services staff hosted two roundtable forums: one in August 2017 and the most recent in March 2018. The purpose of these forums was to obtain developer and development community input regarding development processes and zoning requirements. With the input obtained, Development Services staff then assessed requirements and processes to identify where additional improvements can or should be made.
The text amendments presented herein include changes that stem from suggestions made at the roundtable forums as well as staff recommendations that remove burdensome processes for more streamlined methods. Staff also utilized this amendment to prepare other housekeeping type edits in order to clarify the code and/or to reflect existing policies and interpretations. It is staff’s goal that the combined changes presented will clean up minor scrivener’s errors, make requirements and processes clearer for a more streamlined approval, and to further clarify policies that are already being implemented.
This text amendment was reviewed by the CRA with no objection, and was also presented to the Economic Development Council as well as the Planning and Zoning Board. Unanimous support memos from both are included with the backup to this item.
