On February 25, the Commission held its regular commission meeting, and the following matters of interest were discussed and acted upon:
SECOND READING:
1) Passed permitting family day care home in all residential zoning districts. State law mandated these changes. However, the city made 3 modifications which legal counsel advised would be sustainable: #1 Clarify this does not override Deed Restricted Association that prohibit it; #2 Grandfathered in those day care facilities that were presently operating legally under the existing city ordinances; and #3 Included a distance requirements of 1000' between such facilities.

1) Approved A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL REQUESTING BROWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE A CAMPUS IN CENTRAL BROWARD COUNTY IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE MAJOR BUS TERMINAL LOCATED AT S.R. 7 AND N.W. 12TH STREET.

I have been searching for information about the rezoning of the Inverrary West golf course, and can find nothing? If this green space is going to become townhomes,or a stip mall, Lauderhill politicians can expect firestorm of protest! LMK
While I am out of town, and cannot give you a full explanation, I have been in contact with residents on this issue. At this time, and until I return to give a more complete answer, it is essentially a clean up rezoning, which will not change the character of the property. It will not allow development of townhomes, strip malls, etc.
