5 issues in development with medium priority
North Perry Airport facility site plan amendment
The airport's administration and maintenance facility at 101 SW 77 Way is seeking a site plan amendment. Residents near the airport can speak at the public hearing.
Walmart painted before approval
Member Aloy raised concern that more and more commercial buildings are going gray, making the city look industrial. Board members discussed whether Pembroke Pines — reportedly the only nearby city without a color ordinance — should adopt a color palette or stricter standards.
Memorial Imaging Center conversion of former bank building
Memorial is turning the old Chase bank outparcel at Pines Boulevard and Palm into an outpatient imaging center, removing the drive-thru canopy and adding a sidewalk connection. The building sits close to a busy corridor, and the site plan was already approved in January 2025.
Dutch Bros Coffee at former Checkers site
Three variances cleared the way for a new side-by-side drive-thru Dutch Bros on a narrow infill lot at Pines Boulevard and NW 86th Avenue, replacing a rundown Checkers. The site plan itself will come back to the board, likely around October.
HOA vendor accountability for permit failures
A 120-unit HOA's vendor claimed a city inspector said no permit was needed for pool resurfacing; the magistrate certified the lien anyway and told the association to pursue the vendor.
