RZNE-0347-2026
Description
A text amendment to shrink the minimum lot area in the RS-5C zoning district from 7,000 to 6,500 square feet and the minimum lot width from 70 to 65 feet, tied to a planned home expansion at 6441 SW 17th Street.
Impact summary
If the Commission agrees, dozens of undersized lots in Broadview/Pompano Park could finally be expanded or renovated instead of stuck as legal nonconformities. The 40% lot coverage cap still applies, so drainage protections stay in place.

A zoning text amendment letting the city reduce minimum lots in RS-5C districts from 7,000 to 6,500 square feet and lot width from 70 to 65 feet, mainly to allow a home addition in an area annexed in 2004 with smaller lots.
Planning and Zoning Board - Jun 2, 2026
