Broward County, Florida: Regulatory Reform

Since the Broward County Board of Commissioners authorized participation in the National Call to Action for Affordable Housing through Regulatory Reform in April 2007, it has steadily been fulfilling its commitment to increase affordable housing by reducing regulatory barriers. Here are a few of the forward steps Broward County has taken either prior to or since making its commitment:

  • Established a fee waiver process for affordable housing projects;

  • Adopted mixed land use categories in the Broward County Land Use Plan (BCLUP);

  • Adopted density bonus provisions in the Administrative Rules Document of the BCLUP for incorporation of affordable housing units in market rate housing projects;

  • Adopted a policy in the BCLUP requiring applicants to address affordable housing as a part of the land use plan amendment process for proposals of more than a 100 net units;

  • Approved joint city/county preparation of two Transit/Housing Oriented Redevelopment plans to spur redevelopment of affordable housing along major commercial corridors;

  • Provided a plat exemption for two adjacent single-family or duplex units; and

  • Modified development regulations to reduce the cost of redevelopment in urban areas.
