CITY OF TAMARAC
PROPOSED REVISION #2 - 6/28/84
On May 25, 1983 the City Council of the City of Tamarac, acting
affirmatively to the recommendation of its Planning Commission, established a
moratorium on developments designated as Industrial in Section 7, located at the
northeast quadrant of the future intersection of Commercial Boulevard -and the
Sawgrass Expressway and more specifically described as a portion of flex -zone
#62. The primary reason for the moratorium ordinance was to give the City's staff
15 months to study this area in order to determine the most feasable and highest
quality of development that should be constructed on the City's last unplanned
and unserviced section of land which is also adjacent to the County's soon to be
constructed first circumferential highway. This Expressway will connect the western
portion of Tamarac with two major ports, Fort Lauderdale's central business
district and over two million residents located to the east and south of Land
Section 7 (the study area).
After reviewing several alternate land uses for Land Section ;j"7
included in an 86 page report dated September 15, 1983 prepared by Richard S. Rubin,
Consultant Planner, the attached proposed Land Use Plan (Exhibit #5) dated December
18, 1983 generally reflects the Land Uses recommended to be adopted by the Planning
Commission. The primary reasons for this amendment to Tamarac's Land Use Plan
Element are explained below:
LAND USE PLAN ANALYSIS
I. The proposed land uses for Land Section #7 provide for all 1526 dwelling units
presently assigned to this area to be placed in the north half of Land Section
#7 and the non-residential uses placed in the south half of Section #7. The
non-residential land uses consisting of 187 (acres) are further clarified into
two districts:
1. Major Research Office E]nployment Base Activities:
Acres:
109.6
Location:
S.W. quadrant of Section #7 adjacent to new interchange of
Comnerciai Boulevard and Sawgrass Parkway.
Uses:
Offices, laboratories, high technology research, restaurants,
financial institutions, motels, utilities, etc.
Reasons:
(a) Report indicated a future need for regional offices to
locate along the Sawgrass Parkway.
(b) Excellent view of corporate buildings and logos for
passengers riding along the Parkway (Marketing).
(c) Easy access into the office Park from the Expressway and
Commercial Boulevard.
(d) This area has the most potential of being developed for
offices by corporations desiring new office sites in
West Broward.
2. Warehouse/Distribution:
Acres:
78
Location:
S.E. corner of Section #7 adjacent to Commercial Boulevard and
Nob Hill Road.
Uses:
Warehouses, distribution centers, utilities and all uses per-
mitted in Office Park district, service related establishments
(Non -manufacturing).
K
Reasons: (a) Report prepared this fall indicated a future need for
companies to provide regional distribution centers to serve
central western Broward County due to its proximity to the
Sawgrass Interchange for highway truck service.
(b) Generally, this type of use prefers to be near office parks
and higher density residential areas.
lf01 01' •
1. All non-residential land uses will be separated by a 120' waterway with
6' high berm (similar to Tamarac: Town Square) from adjacent residential
land uses.
2. All non-residential (i.e.) uses described above and including utility land
uses will only have primary access to Ccrm)ercial Boulevard without direct
access to McNab Road.
II. The Proposed Residential Land Uses:
1. Acres: 206
Total Units: 1526 (Presently designated to Section r7)
Net Density 7.4 DU/AC
Gross Density 3.6 DU/AC
Location: North half of Section #7 adjacent to the Isles of Tamarac
on the north and Tamarac Gardens/Spyglass on the east.
Reasons: a. Primary access is McNab Road which will provide lower
intensity of traffic to area and permit a "quieter life style."
b. Adjacent existing land uses are residential and totally
compatible to this area.
c. This density provides for a large range of housing types fran
cluster homes, townhouses, 4-plexes to 2-story multi -family
building.
d. The above uses provide an opportunity for Tamarac to provide
"affordable housing."
PPOPOSED DR4F'I'
In order to submit a clear plan of Tamarac's second proposed revision to its
Land Use Plan Element for Florida Statue 163 review, re -certification and adoption
of the revisions by B.C. Board of County Corrmissioners the attached draft includes
all of the necessary revisions in the text with the old language, charts, tables
placed on the left side of the text for review and comparison purposes.
It should also be noted that the city is in the process of preparing its first
five (5) year evaluation and appraisal report "E.A.R.) However, due to the sensitivity
of the revisions to Land Section 7, and the need to complete the moratorium study,
all changes indicated by the E.A.R. and applicable laws will be included in sub-
sequent amendments to Tamarac's Land Use Plan Element.

PREFACE (TO ORIGINAL LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT)
The City of Tamarac,:Florida, incorporated in 1963, is one of Broward's
newest municipalities. Like many of Broward's cities, Tamarac experi-
enced a phenomenal growth in population.during the late 1960's and
early 1970's. From an estimated population of 300 in 1963, Tamarac
grew to 5,078 residents in 1970, 22,614 in 1975, and a city estimated
28,640 in 1978. This rate of growth is not uncommon among Broward's
western municipalities. The problems associated with rapid growth are
problems Tamarac shares with much of South Florida. Unlike many of its
neighboring communities, Tamarac recognized, at an early date, that
effective governmental action to promote planned -and controlled growth
was essential.
After experiencing the rapid uncontrolled growth of the sixties, the
citizens of Tamarac spearheaded and adopted a revised charter in 1971
which transferred soverign control of the government to the people.
Following passage of this progressive referendum in 1971, Tamarac's
City Council expedited the adoption of a mandatory platting ordinance
and standards for subdivision improvements. In order to properit'., pre-
pare the City for Future growth, a planning commission was esV i shed
and a professional planning consultant was retained and given task
of preparing the City's first comprehensive future land use p
During the next two years of intensive land use studies and sic- ficant
public hearings, Tamarac adopted a uniform zoning code which.re�_ssified
a series of haphazard, unrelated zoning districts into a coordinated
zoning and management plan. Several major pieces of legislation passed
in 1972 and 1973 including; a mandatory landscape and beautification ordi-
nance, a uniform sign ordinance, requirements for "unique" projects to
receive special exception approval and provision for impact analysis re-
ports on all multifamily developments.
In order to properly• determine the physical impact of new developments
on existing subdivisions and adjacent roadways, Tamarac adopted manda-
tory site plan and plat review processes which required all proposed
commercial and residential developments to be reviewed by Tamarac's
Planning Commission and Beautification Committee subject to final
approval by the City Council before any building or subdivision im-
provement permit could be issued.
The First Master Plan was adopted in April, 1973, following a comprehen-
sive review of all land areas within the City, and major modification to
the regulatory control's which were then in effect. Since the date of the
first plan, the City has maintained a continuing planning management pro-
gram designed to keep the Plan current, and to control growth and develop-
ment in an orderly fashion. Following adoption of the Plan, the City em-
barked on a three -phased program of implementation to bring vacant and
developed land areas into conformance with the plan.
In 1975 the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Tamarac was completed.
Tie comprehensive Plan provided an update of the 1973 Master Plan as
well as broader analysis of planning issues. The 1975 Plan was divided
into six maJor sections that delt with existing and proposed land use,
population and housing, economic base, transportation. *community -facil-
ities, and general background information.
Tamarac's Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinances have been challanged in
court and have been upheld on at least two occasions due to the court's
findings that the actions taken by Council were indeed in the best in-
terest of the general welfare of the City's residents. The City has
embarked upon a program to'establish a comprehensive development re-
view process.which will be throughly integrated with present require-
ments or various County, -Regional, State and Federal Agencies related
to Tamarac's-future physical development.
Since 1972, the .City twice initiated reducing the density maximums in
it's multi -family zones. The maximum density allowed currently in the
City is 15 units per acre. The City has also initiated rezoning of
specific parcels. to more restrictive zoning classifications.
Since the development and adoption of the 1975 Comprehensive Plan, the
State of Florida adopted the 1975 Local Government Comprehensive Planning
Act (chapter 163 F.S.) and Broward County prepared and adopted the Proward
County Land Use Plan. Each of these pieces of legislation has plac d
additional planning requirements on the City of Tamarac. This reps A,
which is the Land Use Element of the State mandated Comprehensive f an,
as well as the other elements to be prepared and adopted later accc -`ng
to the State act, -differ significantly from prior planning document!
that all new elements will be adopted by ordinance, giving them the status
of law. Once the Comprehensive Plan, or any portion of the Plan, is
adopted, the requirements. policies and procedures contained within are
given the weight.of law.
This latest planning effort is a further demonstration of the commitment
by the City to orderly and controlled growth in order to maintain and
enhance those qualities which make the City of Tamarac a desirable community
in which to live. This element and the other elements to follow, will
provide the framework necessary to achieve in the future the most desir-
able physical, social and cultural environment for the citizens of Tamarac
in accordance with the goals, principles and guidelines of Tamarac s
Comprehensive Land Use Plan adopted in 1975.
INTRODUCTION (TO ORIGINAL LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT)
The Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975
The State of Florida has been one of the nation's leaders in the field
of environmental and planning -legislation. One of the most important
state planning initiatives, and certainly the one with the most impact
on local governments, is the Local Government Comprehensive Planning
Act of 1975, which went into effect on July 1, 1975. This Act mandates
that all units of local government develop comprehensive plans by July
1, 1979. The Act specifies elements which must be. included in the plan
and optional elements and specifies procedures which are to be followed
in the adoption of a plan. Furthermore, the Act mandates that once a
plan (or any element of a plan) has been adopted in conformity with the
Act, no public or private development can take place unless it is con-
sistent with all adopted plan elements. The Comprehensive Plan currently
being developed by the City of Tamarac (of which this Land Use Element
is a part) will meet all the requirements of the State Act.
The City of Tamarac is required to prepare and adopt the following plan
elements in order to be in full compliance with the State Act:
1. A Future Land Use Element
2. A Traffic Circulation Element
3. A General Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage and Potable
Water Element
4. A Conservation Element
5. A Recreation and Open Space Element
6. A Housing Element
7. An Intergovernmental Coordination Element
8. A Utility Element
The Act specifies that a "Local Planning Agency" (LPA) must be established
and given responsibility for the development of the plan. The LPA is
responsible for developing the plan elements and for providing opportu-
nities for citizen involvement in the planning process. This agency must
hold public hearings on each proposed plan element, and solicit maximum
public participation in the development of the plan. The LPA then makes
recommendations to the governing body with respect to plan elements. The
Tamarac City Council has designated the Planning commission as the LPA.
At least 60 days before taking any action to adopt a plan (or an element
of the plan the governing',body must submit a copy of the plan for review
-to the State, Regional Planning Council, County, and to any other unit of
local government or governmental agency in the State that has filed with
the governing body a request for copies of proposed comprehensive plan
elements. The local government must respond to any comments made by the
State, County and South Florida Regional Planning Council,
a
Amendment and review procedures are also specified in the Act. Minor
amendments (chan es in land use or density which comprise less than
five percent (5%3 of the land area of the plan) may be made by majority
vote of the governing body, however, major amendments must be adopted
following the same procedure as for the initial adoption of a plan
element. The Act specifies that the local planning agency prepare peri-
odic reports assessing the success or failure of the comprehensive plan
and recommending any changes which should be made in the plan.
In addition to the requirements of the State Planning Act, the Land Use
Element must be in compliance with Broward County Charter and the Broward
County Land Use Plan as discussed below.
The Broward County Land Use Plan
In 1974, the people of Broward County voted to establish Broward as a
Charter County. The Broward County Charter, which became effective on
January 1, 1975, gave certain land use planning responsibilities to the
County. Article VI of the charter abolished the old Area Planning Board
and established the Broward County Planning Council. The Council, composed
of fourteen local officials and a County Commissioner all appointed by the
County Commission, was charged with the task of developing a land use plan
that would be effective in both unincorporated and incorporated areas. Under
the provisions of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975,
the Planning Council was designated the Local Planning Agency (LPA) for
the Land Use Element for all of Broward County.
In November, 1976 the Planning Council approved the land use plan for
transmittal to the County Commission for adoption. After a year of public
hearings and workshop sessions the County Commission adopted the Broward
County Land Use Plan on November 9, 1977 (effective November 22, 1977).
Major Provisions of the Broward County Land Use Plan
- The County Plan and the Charter provide that all local,government
zoning as to permitted uses and densities must be consistent with
the County Plan or certified plan within one year after the adoption
of the County Plan.
- The County Plan and the Charter provide for a process called
certification whereby local governments may develop local land
use plans within the parameters established by the County Plan.
A local government plan that has been developed within the guide-
l4nes of the County Plan, and has been certified by the 'Planning
Council as being in substantial conformity with the County Plan,
becomes the effective plan for the local government. All zoning
as to permitted uses and densities must then be consistent with
the certified local plan and not the County Plan.
M
3
- The County Plan divides the County into 122 geographic areas
called Flexibility zones. During the certification process
local governments may rearrange land uses and densities within
certain limits. For example, residential densities may -be
redistributed as long as the total number of residential units
permitted in the flexibility zone does not exceed the maximum
permitted in the flexibility zone.
- The County Plan mandates that each local government provide
in its certified plan, three acres of Park and Recreation land
for every 1000 projected residents. Provisions for the acquisi-
tion of the needed recreation areas must also be included in the
local plan.
-The County Plan requires that local governments institute a
Development Review Process. This process is to be used to
ensure that certain essential services will be available before
development is permitted.
The Tamarac Land Use Element
The land use element for the City of Tamarac is being developed to meet the
requirements of both the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1975
and the Broward County Land Use Plan. The land use element is being prepared
prior to the other required elements because of the requirement of the County
Plan that all zoning must be in conformance with either the County Plan or a
City's certified plan prior to November 9, 1978. It is to the City's advantage
to have a certified plan as close to this date as possible so that if rezoning
must occur, it will be consistent with the desires of the City. The other Plan
elements required by the State Act need not be completed and adopted until July
1, 1979 or may be granted an extension with approval by the Division of State
Planning.
The land use planning process in the City of Tamarac has had the benefit of
extensive public involvement over the last year. In addition to advertise-
ments required by law, City Council and Planning Commission meeting notices
are routinely posted in the club houses and recreational buildings of the
City's condominium complexes. Since the completion of the 1975 Comprehen-
sive Plan the Planning Commission has held five public workship sessions
to update the plan. The City Council has also held two public hearings
on the Plan update. Prior to the adoption of the Land Use Element, the
Planning Commission and the City Council will hold the necessary public
hearings required by theState Act.
The City has made every effort to coordinate its planning activities with those
of other governmental bodies. Tamarac has appointed a permanent member to the
Technical Advisory Committee of the Broward County Planning Council charged
with responsibility to review all local planning efforts. The City has worked
r
4
with adjacent jurisdictions in land use matters and has worked closely
with the Broward County Planning Council to ensure consistency with the
County Plan. Tamarac also participated with Pompano Beach, Ft. Lauderdale,
Lauderdale Lakes, and Oakland Park in the proposed Five Cities Annexation
Plan which failed to be approved by the 1977-78 legislature.
In the development of the Tamarac Land Use Plan every effort was made to
designate land uses on the map that would be compatible with the land uses
in adjacent jurisdictions.
I-1
R
GOALS
In order for a land use plan, or any other plan, to be effective it must be
tailored to the desires and aspirations of the community for which it is
developed. The following -Goals for future development that were adopted
as part of the 1975 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Tamarac provided the
basis on which this land use element was developed.
- The City should seek to eliminate strip commercial development along
major arterial roadways by creating identifiable commercial centers
to serve the shopping needs of residents'and visitors to the City.
- Tamarac should be characterized by a variety of housing types in
sound residential neighborhoods, with an emphasis on quality of
life with a minimum of through traffic a.nd related disturbances.
- The City should, in the future, seek to maintain its current image
and character as a primarily low -density, open community which is
liberally developed with recreation areas, golf courses, and water-
ways.
- The City should attempt to create a supporting tax base for its
residents through the establishment of industrial and office parks,
and commercial areas as balances to the residential component.

FUTURE LAND USE PLAN
As discussed in the Introduction, the Tamarac Land Use Element must meet
the requirements of both the Local Government Comprehensive Planning
Act and the Broward County.Land Use Plan. Both these pieces of legis-
lation mandate that the land element be adopted by ordinance, thus giving
it the status of law. This means that no development permit can be issued
by the City unless it is in conformance with the City Land Use Plan except
for minor changes in land uses permitted in this plan. If the City wishes
to amend its land use plan it must receive approval from the Broward County
Planning Council, and in some cases, where an amendment to the Broward
County Land Use Plan is needed, approval by the County Commission is also
required.
The Tamarac Land Use Element was developed to meet all State and County
requirements, and was also designed to require as few amendments as pos-
sible and to retain a maximum amount of local. control over day to day
land use decisions. These goals are achieved through the use of the flex-
ibility zone concept developed in the Broward County Land Use Plan, as
applied and refined by the City's land use consultant.
Tamarac is divided into five flexibility zones, or study areas for the
purpose of this report. Through the assignment of residential densities
on various parcels of land in a flexibility zone/study area, the County
Land Use Plan determined the maximum number of residential dwelling units
that may be permitted in each area. The Tamarac Land Use Element rec-
ognizes and conforms to these density limitations by providing procedures
which give the City Council control over the allocation and redistribution
of residential density within the limits established by the County Plan.
The procedure for controlling residential density works as follows:
The County Land Vse Plan permits a total number of units in a study
area. The land use designations on the City Land Use Plan Map may
permit fewer units than is permitted by the County Plan. The
difference between the number of units permitted by the County
Plan and the number of units permitted by the City Plan Map are
called "reserve units". For a detailed description of reserve
units and their use refer to Section 2 of the Implementation
Procedures in this report.
These reserve units are tallied for each study area and held aside like
a savings account in a bank. If the City wishes to permit a residential
development at a density greater than that which is permitted on the
City Land Use Plan Map, it must first make sure that there are enough
reserve units in the study area to accommodate the density increase.
If the development is permitted, the number of reserve units in the
study area is reduced correspondingly. This procedure permits the
rearrangement of residential densities within certain limits without
requiring lengthy ammendment processes or additional approval.
20
The City Land Use Plan also allocates non-residential land uses such as
commercial, industrial, etc. for the City of Tamarac. The Land Use Plan
Map depicts the areas where these uses may occur. Each of the land uses
on the Land Use Plan Map, both residential and non-residential, are gov-
erned by the permitted uses and densities of the land use categories
discussed below. The permitted uses of individual parcels can be further
specified and restricted by referring to the zoning category assigned
that parcel.
LAND USE CATEGORIES - PERMITTED USES
PERMITTED USES AND DENSITIES IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS
USES
The areas designated for residential use on the Land Use Plan Map are
intended primarily for dwellings, but other land uses related to a
residential environment, including neighborhood shopping areas, neighbor-
hood parks and schools may also be appropriate.
Areas indicated for residential uses are designated primarily for the
following uses:
1. Dwelling units and accessory structures subject to the lim-
itations upon density as expressed by the City Land Use Plan
Map and by the use of reserve units as expressed in Section 2
of the Implementation Procedures.
Other uses which may be permitted in residential areas are as follows:
2. Hotels, motels and lodgings for transients. A hotel or motel
unit counts as h dwelling unit for the purpose of calculation
density.
3. Parks, golf courses and other outdoor recreational facilities,
and recreational, civic, or cultural buildings ancillary to
the primary outdoor recreational use of the site.
4. Community faci'lities designed to serve the residential area
such as schools, day care centers, churches, clinics, nursing
homes, rehabilitation centers, governmental administration,
police and fire protection facilities, libraries and civic
centers.
5. Public and private utilities, including water and wastewater
treatment plants, pumping stations, power substations and trans-
mission facilities and solid waste disposal and transfer
stations.

6. Streets and other transportation corridors.
7. Telecommunication facilities such as broadcasting towers,
relay stations and cables.
8. Home occupations and other activities and uses accessory to
a dwelling unit.
9. Offices and retail sales of merchandise or services, subject
to the following limitations and provisions:
a. No contiguous area used for retail sales, offices, or a
mix of retail sales and offices may exceed ten acres.
b. Within each study area no more than a total of 5% of the
area designated for residential use on the County Land
Use Plan Map may be used for retail sales or offices.

* Gross density for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the
Broward County Land Use Plan means the number of dwelling units,
constructed or proposed within an area, divided by the gross acreage
of the parcel of land. The gross acreage of any area means the
total number of acres in the area including acreage used for proposed
streets, lakes and waterways, and other proposed land uses permitted
in residential areas by the City Land Use Plan.

PERMITTED USES IN AREAS DESIGNATED FOR UTILITIES

.The 'permitted uses for areas designated as utilities are as follows:
1. Water and wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations, electrical
power substations, solidwaste disposal and transfer
sites, communication facilities.
2. Other uses determined to be ancillary to the primary uses
described in (1) above.
Permitted Uses in Transporation Areas.
Major existing and future corridors in the City's highway network are
indicated on the map by white and gray lines. The functional importance
and right-of-way width of the highway corridors are indicated by the
width and style of the lines. All of these areas will serve as elements
of the City's transportation system.
Certain uses of an impermanent nature including but not limited to
agriculture, nurseries, grazing, nonrequired parking, open storage
and parks are permitted in proposed expressways. Such provisions
are intended to allow owners of property within proposed expresswa,
to have some limited uses that do not interfere with the public's
s
ses.
However, the land uses permitted for the area of the proposed Sawgrass
Parkway within the Leadership Development are those allowed by the land
use plan map and the Leadership court actions. The County Land Use Plan
allows for assignment of density unless the corridor is bordered on both
sides by nonresidential uses. This provision does not pertain to the
portion of the expressway corridor within the Leadership Development.)
The City would consider initiating a local land use plan amendment to
allow the transfer of units if a developer were willing to dedicate the
area designated for expressway purposes. However, when a developer
wishes to transfer units to an adjacent flexibility zone, due to the fact
that the other conditions are not possible and there are no excess dwelling
units in the adjacent exi i i y zone, The city would consider ini is ing
the appropriate County Land Use Plan amendment to effect the transfer.
If the County Commission makes a final determination that the proposed
Sawgrass Parkway is infeasible to construct, that the land uses permitted
within the expressway corridor can be those permitted in adjacent land
uses, as determined by the City of Tamarac through the recertification
process and approved by the Broward County Planning Council.
Am2ndment�,:4-12/22/82
FUTURE LAND USE BY STUDY AREA
The following section deals with the allocation of future land uses within
each of the five Study Areas. The number of dwelling units permitted by the
City Land Use Plan Map in areas which are developed is determined by the
number of existing units. In areas not currently developed, but for which
a plat or site plan has been approved, the number of permitted units is
determined by the number of units approved on the plat or site plan. In
vacant areas the number of permitted units is determined by multiplying the
size of the vacant parcel in acres by the maximum density.allocation on the
City Land Use Plan Map for the parcel. Reserve units, as discussed in this
report, may be utilized to allow for a density greater than that shown on
the land use plan map if in accordance with Section 1 of this Chapter.
25-A
ANNEXATION RESERVE AREAS
Future reservation areas are identified on the Future Land Use Map in
order to provide proper land use designations upon annexation into
Tamarac provided the designation is consistent with State and County
laws related to annexation and land use planning.
1. It is recognized that the State of Florida Statutes
mandate that the future land uses designated for
each annexation reserve parcel shall not be the
effective designation until the individual parcel
is properly annexed into the City of Tamarac and the
densities and other land use limitations are consistent
with Florida Statutes 171 related to annexation
procedures and requirements.
2. The existing land uses for each parcel identified as
an annexation reserve area shall be in accordance
with Broward County Unincorporated Future Land Use
Plan as certified by the Broward County Planning
Council unless properly amended by Tamarac subsequent
to annexation.

Study Area 42 is currently 84% developed. Most of the future development
will occur in small parcels within larger developed areas. Residential
land has the potential, under the City plan, to increase from 347 acres
currently to 383.88 acres, mostly in medium density, multi -family develop-
ment. The plan provides for an increase in commercial land from 71
acres to 134.609cres.
The number of dwelling units permitted in Study Area 42 by the City land
use plan trap is 2843*units. The Broward County Land Use Plan, allows 3249
units in this study area. There are, at this time,162 reserve units that
tray be used by the city to apply to parcels of land within Study Area 42.

Study Area 60 is currently 76% developed. Residential land has the potential
of increasing from 772 acres to 893 acres, with most of the increase in
low -medium density, multi -family or townhouses development. Commercial
acreage is substantially increased on the City Plan, from 68 acres currently
existing to over 184 acres. Park and Recreation uses will also increase
by 23 acres.

Study Area 61 (synonymous with Flexibility Zone 61). consists of Land Sections
4,5 b 6, and was annexed into the City in 1972. As a result of the annexation,
litigation commenced between the City of Tamarac and leadership Housing, the
primary developer. The first order of consequence was issued by Judge fiinnet in
1973: -The-order mandates that with the exceptionof.parking..all of.Land Sections
4.5 i 6 would be subject to Broward County Zoning regulations in effect on
December 31, 1972. Sometime later, it became apparent to the City that the order
was going to create some significant problems and the City sought to have the
order modified. In 1974, Judge Weissing upheld the Minnet Order. The City
appealed all the May to the Supreme Court which upheld the Minnet and Weissino
,Orders. Then in 1976. the City and Leadership Housing agreed to have entered an
Order on Motion for clarification. This final order provided that Leadership
shall be subject to certain City regulations and that a maximum total of 9,134
dwelling units shall be built on 48 specific parcels. The --remaining parcels fall
under the original order.
By the time the Broward County Planning Council prepared the County Land Use Plan,
substantial changes had occurred in Sections 4.5 A 6. Several parcels had been
sold, others voluntarily, rezoned by the owners, and some had been developed at a
density below what was permitted under the orders. Hence, the total number of
units to be permitted in Flexibility Zone 61 (Land Sections 495 8 6) became.a
matter of individual interpretation and the Planning Council's determination of
12.759 units resulted in serious objections from the land owners. After several
months of study and negotiations, it'*was establi-Ahed that thefland owners have
vested rights to a higher number of units pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Broward
County Charter. On January 30, 19799 a consensus was reached among the County
Commission, the My Council and the major land owners that a total t)f 14 273 units
(with 144 units specifically for Tract 44A) shall be permitted in flexibility Zone 61

Ithe,famarac Land Use Plan Kap permits a total of 36,043 dwelling units to
be built. The use of the reserve,unit concept coulo possibly permit another
537 units for a total of 36,580 dwelling units on 4739.74 acres of land.
The reserve unit concept as Applied to the City of Tamarac will not in all
likelfhood result in an increase in residential density from that which is
permitted on the City Plan Yap for three reasons. Firstp the distribution
of reserve units is such that the study areas in which the bulk of the
reserve units are located Ore substantially developed, leaving very little
land available for their application. Secondl�r , the land uses on the
Tana rac Land Use Plan Map represent a reasonable allocation and distribution
of residential densities .therefore there will be very little pressure to
increase densities from what is permitted on the City Map- Finallye and
rost importantly. is the City's proven commUtment to the ebintenance of
a low density, open space oriented cpemunity'as reflected on the City Land
Use Plan M,ap.. The reserve unit conceft'in the City of Tamarac will primarily
be used for redistributing units within a study area.
It has been the experience in urban areas that the intensity of eventual
buildout is somewhat less than the buildout permitted by governmental
regulations. Nast urban areas develop .to only M-90% of their potential and
it is reasonable to assume that Tamarac will experience•• simitar phenom-
enon. For the purpose of this population projection we will assume that
future residential development will occur at*only 85% of -the density
permitted by the City Land Use Plan Map. Thus$ the projected number of
units represented by the Tamarac Land Use Plan is determined as follows:
1. Total number of existing units 14.286
2. Total number of units permitted- 36,580
by the City Plan Flap
3. Difference (#2-A1•f3) 22,294
A. 85X 22.294 s 18,950
S. Projected unit total (1) + (4) • S 33� Units
The $coward County Land Use Plan projects that there will be,
on the average, 2.2
persons per household in 6roward ;ounty by the time the County Plan reaches
its potential buildout. Applying this average household size number to the
projected number of units represented by the Tamarac Land Use Plan, we can
determine the projected future population.
33,236 -units, X 2.2 persons/household = 73,119 projected population
This level of population which most probably will be attained around the
year ?ODD. represents a 122% ncrease over the 33,000 residents Currently.
estimated to be living in Tamarac in 1982.
