The Lauderhill Charrette is one of nine charrettes coordinated by the SR 7/ US 441 Collaborative to create a unified master plan for the entire SR 7 corridor in Broward County.
The Lauderhill Citizens' Master Plan grew out of a public seven-day charrette held March 6 through March 12, 2004. The Citizens' Master Plan represents the citizens' vision for the future of Lauderhill. The charrette was held at the Sadkin Center and was attended by a diverse cross-section of the community including residents, property owners, and local business representatives. During the week of the charrette, the design team set up its studio at the new Lauderhill Golf Course facility where the doors remained open to the public all week.
The Lauderhill Charrette focused on its section of the SR 7 corridor and the surrounding neighborhoods. The area included Sunrise Boulevard to NW 27th Street and a section of Lauderdale Lake on the east side north of NW 19th Street. Key issues addressed included development of public lands into a regional park and premier cricket facility, creation of a town center, and revitalization of the SR 7 corridor.
A presentation of work in progress was held on Friday, March 12, 2004. Residents, property and business owners, city staff, and elected officials were present. Work continued during the following weeks. A series of final presentations by Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council staff was held beginning of 2005 to collect further citizen and professional input before the adoption of the Citizens' Master Plan.
The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council's Design Studio, a team of professionals, and urban designers assisted the citizens in studying the many challenges faced by the community and proposed specific solutions.
