Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND
1.PUBLIC HEARING (PH 2020-02): The purpose of this Public Hearing is to consider the Trinity Lutheran Church small scale land use plan map amendment application to change the future land use designation for the approximate 2.74 gross acre site from Community Facilities to Commercial for the purpose of developing a gas station and convenience store. This application is considered to be small scale as it is less than 10 acres. State agency review is not required with small scale amendments.
2. Trinity Lutheran Church is located on the southeast corner of Pines Boulevard and 72nd Avenue.
3. According to the Broward County Property Appraiser the facility was built in the 1960’s. The existing Church is located on the northern 2.74 gross acres of the approximate 5 acre parcel.
4. As part of the overall development plan, the site will be developed into two parcels: The developer is proposing that the north parcel, with the hard corner, be developed as the gas station with a convenience store.

In addition to the LUPA, the applicant will be required to plat, rezone and site plan the property. The rezoning is being heard on tonight's agenda.
6. The land use designations and existing uses of the surrounding properties are as follows:
North - Low Residential (5du/ac) (City of Hollywood)
East - Commercial (shopping center)

12. On January 25, 2022, the Broward County Commission adopted the associated small scale amendment to the Broward County Land Use Plan map for the WAWA property.
