Broward County uses a two-tier land use system where the Broward County Planning Council must approve land use plan amendments before municipalities can rezone parcels for higher-intensity uses. The County Commission, Fort Lauderdale City Commission, and Planning Council share oversight of major entitlement decisions. High-rise residential and hotel filings concentrate along the Fort Lauderdale beach corridor and A1A. Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Pompano Beach generate the most active transit-oriented and mixed-use proposals, particularly near Tri-Rail stations. DRI (Development of Regional Impact) thresholds and coastal setback regulations add review requirements to larger projects along the coast.

Here's what ZoneWire found in the latest Broward County meeting
County Commission - 2026-04-28
The Broward County Commission approved a $20 million resilience implementation program from general fund reserves to address flooding issues across 1,800 miles of aging canals, with the funding expected to leverage $100-140 million through municipal matching grants. The board also voted to place a 0.25% healthcare surtax on the November 2026 ballot for voter approval, which would fund cardiac and cancer screening programs for five years. A request from the City of Hollywood for review of a Broward County Planning Council land use interpretation regarding 1301 S Ocean Dr was set for public hearing in late May.
