Proposed Text Amendment – Amend Section 47-24.11 of the City of Fort Lauderdale Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDR) to Provide a Process to Designate Thematic Districts City-Wide and to Amend Existing Historic Preservation Criteria and Procedures. See attached outline of proposed changes.
On October 4, 2021, the Historic Preservation Board sent a communication to the City Commission suggesting that the Commission direct staff to prepare a code amendment to include thematic historic district in the historic preservation ordinance. A Thematic Historic District recognizes a group of properties that are united together through a common theme but are not located within a contiguous area. This designation type is different than a Historic District since all properties included within a Thematic Historic District do not need to be located within a contiguous boundary.
On November 2, 2021, the City Commission requested that staff prepare this amendment for consideration. At the August 1, 2022, HPB meeting, the Board reviewed the proposed text amendment, and a motion was made stating that the HPB supports the proposed ordinance.
At the October 19, 2022, Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) meeting, the Board requested that staff conduct additional public outreach and return to the PZB in February 2023.
