9 ® n 3 Calvin. Giordano & Associates. Inc. i E x C E P T I O N A E SOLUTIONS ® CGA was able to develop a hybrid Form-based Code for the Town of Surfside that achieved these aims. 9 The Code provided for the conventional controls the Town required, without degrading the quality of the • envisioned development, the urban response of the forms to the existing network of streets and traffic ® patterns, and the required qualities expected of each development's impact upon the overall quality of the Town's open spaces and public right-of-ways. The CGA team made up of Urban Designers and Planners • prepared a set of Design Guidelines to aid the Town's Planning and Zoning Board implement the vision set ® forth and expressed by the Public in a Community Visioning Charrette process that benefited from ® extensive community participation. ® The City of Weston Code, in its entirety, was rewritten is 2010 to make it more relevant and user friendly. 0 The original code of ordinances was the Broward County Code that was in effect on the day of incorporation in 1996. Over time many sections of the code were repealed, amended and recreated to 0 meet the changing goals of the City. As a result, many sections were in conflict with each other and not well 9 organized. The CGA planning staff focused on the Land Development Regulations and Zoning portions of ® the Code. These sections were totally rewritten and rearranged in a manner that logically followed the steps that one would take to go through the development process. Staff worked closely with all other ® disciplines of the City to ensure that there were no internal conflicts with either content or terms. All ® defined terms are clearly highlighted in the code and cross referenced with other sections of the City Code ® for consistency. 9 The City of West Park was incorporated in 2005 and was governed by the Broward County Code that was in ® effect at the time of incorporation. Over the years, the planning staff repealed, modified and updated the land development regulations and zoning code to meet the desires of the City. New zoning code categories ® were added to reflect new mixed use land use designations and new administrative variance procedures ® were developed to streamline the process. CGA has prepared land development regulations that focus on ® smart, efficient, and sustainable growth. IN Additionally, our work includes Transit Oriented Development form-based code for the City of Miami ® Gardens and a transit oriented corridor code for the City of West Park that provided a necessary mix of land uses, density and design that encourages the creation of an environment to promote transit usage. 9 In Hollywood, a new Zoning Code was developed for the Beach area in compliance with the City's ® Comprehensive Master Plan to preserve and establish branding for the area and provide Green and ® Environmentally-friendly development standards. ® As a result of CGA's success in establishing the Hallandale Beach RAC, CGA will be updating the City of ® Hallandale Beach Land Development Code with an emphasis on transit-oriented and mixed-use development in anticipation of the future commuter rail along the FEC corridor and further support ® implementation of the City of Hallandale Beach's CRA Plan and Comprehensive Plan.
