Sec. 39-412. - Courtesy conceptual plan meeting.

(a)

Depending on the location, design, size, impact, or other factor of a proposed development, the Urban Planning Division Director may require an applicant to request a Courtesy Conceptual Plan Review meeting of the site plan prior to filing a Site Plan Application. The Courtesy Conceptual Plan Review is not a replacement for the full Site Plan Application review procedure and does not qualify as a preapplication meeting.

(1)

Review for completeness of a Courtesy Conceptual Plan Review shall not be required as the review is merely conceptual. However, insufficient information may result in additional requests.

(2)

The Urban Planning Division shall schedule a meeting with the applicant and the selected review agencies to discuss the conceptual site plans.

(3)

When not required, an applicant has the option to request a Courtesy Conceptual Plan Review of the site plan prior to requesting a preapplication consultation.

(b)

No formal comments, interpretation of the code, or order shall be issued in conjunction with a Courtesy Conceptual Plan Review.

(Ord. No. 2022-22, § 17, 5-11-22; Ord. No. 2025-15, § 16, 4-1-25)

Sec. 39-413. - Site plan review procedures.

(a)

Application Procedure. The following procedures shall govern the review of applications:

(1)

Preapplication Required. Prior to the filing of a site plan application, the applicant shall attend a preapplication meeting with the Urban Planning Division staff to discuss filing requirements, including the submission requirements in Table 1 above, municipal and neighborhood notification procedures, application fee, sign posting procedures, and any other issues that may affect the application. A site plan application shall not be accepted or deemed complete until this meeting has occurred.

(2)

Completeness of application. The Urban Planning Division shall review the application to determine the completeness of required submittals based on Table 1 above. Within five (5) business days after receiving an application, the Urban Planning Division shall confirm receipt of the application using the contact information provided by the applicant. Within seven (7) business days after receipt, the Urban Planning Division shall either:

a.

Find that the application is complete and initiate the review process commencing on the eighth (8th) day after filing; or

b.

Reject the application and forward to the applicant with a notice of incompleteness specifying, with particularity, the information that is required to process the application. The applicant shall resubmit the application with the information required within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of incompleteness, or the application shall be deemed withdrawn. The Urban Planning Division shall review the resubmitted application in the manner provided in this section for the original application. Failure of the Urban Planning Division to issue a written notification of completeness or written specification of the area(s) of deficiency within thirty (30) days after receipt of the application shall require the County to issue the applicant a ten percent (10%) refund of the application fee.

c.

If the County makes a second request for additional information, the applicant shall resubmit the application with the required additional information within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of incompleteness, or the application shall be deemed withdrawn. The Urban Planning Division shall review the resubmitted application in the manner provided in this section for the original application. Failure of the Urban Planning Division to issue a written notification of completeness or written specification of areas of deficiency within thirty (30) days after receipt of the additional information shall require the County to issue the applicant a twenty percent (20%) refund of the application fee.

d.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the applicant in writing, an application may be issued a notice of incompleteness a maximum of three (3) times. Prior to the issuance of a third (3rd) notice of incompleteness, the Urban Planning Division shall offer the applicant a meeting to attempt to resolve outstanding issues that form the basis for the incompleteness. The applicant shall resubmit the application with the additional information within thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable notice of incompleteness. If the outstanding issues are not resolved, the fourth (4th) application submitted shall be deemed complete within ten (10) days after receipt of the additional information and shall be processed in accordance with this article.

e.

Except where a notice of incompleteness is based on a final agency action of a state or federal agency denying the federal or state permit, if the applicant believes the request for additional information is not authorized by ordinance, rule, statute, or other legal authority, the Urban Planning Division, at the applicant's request, shall proceed to process the application for approval or denial.

(3)

Agency Review.

a.

The Director shall determine to which agencies the application shall be routed based upon the type of application submitted, the intensity/density of the proposed development, and whether the application is relevant to that reviewing agency. Each agency shall review the plan in accordance with its applicable laws, rules, and procedures. The reviewing agencies are as follows:

1.

School Board of Broward County, Florida;

2.

Building Code Division;

3.

Parks and Recreation Division;

4.

Aviation Department;

5.

Broward Sheriff's Office Fire Marshal's Bureau;

b.

The Director may waive agency review, in whole or in part, under this section upon a determination that such a review has already been made regarding the same land and no change in circumstances has occurred that necessitates further review, or upon a determination by the Director that further review is not necessary.

c.

Additional matters to be addressed with an application for site plan:

1.

The Broward County Health Department (BCHD) assesses availability of facilities by applying a gallons-per-day design flow demand rate to the proposed development and then determining whether the proposed development's demand will exceed the licensed capacity of the treatment plant, considering the existing utilized and "committed" capacity. The BCHD uses potable water design flow rates set forth in the Water Management Element of the Broward County Comprehensive Plan to assess adequacy of service at the time of site plan application for those properties that are not required to be platted. If the proposed land use does not have a potable water demand rate set forth in the Water Management Element, the BCHD is authorized to assign the most suitable rate.

2.

Site plan applications involving residential uses shall be forwarded to the School Board of Broward County, Florida, for a determination as to whether the project is exempt from the requirements of public school concurrency, consistent with Chapter 5 of Broward County's Land Development Code, and the Public School Facilities Interlocal Agreement.

3.

If a site plan application includes all or any part of any lands identified as a site recommended for inclusion in the Urban Wilderness Inventory by the Urban Wilderness Advisory Board pursuant to Chapter 25½ of the Code, which recommendation has been approved by the County Commission; or a site designated as a Native Vegetative Communities Category Local Area of Particular Concern within the Broward County Land Use Plan; or subject to notice of a public hearing regarding designation as a Native Vegetative Communities Category Local Area of Particular Concern or inclusion in the Urban Wilderness Inventory, which is mailed any time before a site plan application is filed, then the Urban Planning Division Director shall provide for the preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR) consistent with Section 5-182.8 of the Land Development Code.

4.

If the Broward County Aviation Department determines that the site plan application includes property that is or may be subject to the notice requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, Subpart B, the applicant must obtain and submit an FAA determination that it does not constitute a hazard to air navigation or require operational modifications to the airport to avoid such a hazard.

(4)

Municipal Notification. Upon acceptance of a site plan application for public or regional facilities, such as highway rest stations, transit infrastructure, landfills, government facilities, or similar uses, a copy of the application, including all attachments and drawings, shall be forwarded by the Urban Planning Division Director, electronically or by hard copy, to any municipality within a four (4) mile radius of a boundary of the site plan and to any unincorporated area neighborhood/civic organizations within a one (1) mile radius of the site plan boundary, as listed on the "Neighborhood Association/Civic Representatives List for the Broward Municipal Services District" and as delineated on the "Broward Municipal Services District Map." Municipalities and neighborhood/civic organizations shall have the same time limits as reviewing agencies to provide written comments to the Director, as specified in Section 39-413(b). Comments received from municipalities and neighborhood/civic organizations shall be attached to the compilation of comments forwarded to the applicant in accordance with Section 39-413(b) and shall be considered by the Urban Planning Division Director only as they relate to compliance with the Code.
