City Commission — September 16, 2026
A proposed code change would require mixed-use projects to cover at least ten acres. It passed first reading and comes back for a public hearing October 21.
Planning and Zoning Board — August 13, 2026
A code change would let mixed-use projects be built on parcels of 10 acres instead of 25, citywide. It opens the door for redeveloping older shopping centers and infill sites — including Midtown Pembroke's office property on 145th Avenue. The City Commission has the final say.
