Inc. <br /> 4:21* F % C F P 1 I 0 .c l S o l U 1 I p % S <br /> ® 7 <br /> CGA just completed the City of Hallandale Beach Regional Activity Center (RAC) focusing on Transit <br /> ® Oriented Development along the major corridors in the City. The City of Hallandale Beach has historically <br /> ® lacked a "downtown" or recognized center of economic and civic activity. The highest residential <br /> ® concentration has been found in the beachfront towers along AIA while the highest commercial density has <br /> been the strip malls and office buildings along east Hallandale Beach Boulevard. The impetus of the RAC <br /> O was to use this land use category as a Master Plan, as a way to guide future redevelopment along a Ya mile <br /> ® radius from the FEC Railroad. By doing so, the City will be better suited to maximize the potential <br /> ® redevelopment within the RAC but most importantly being able to better manage the redevelopment <br /> occurring. <br /> 0 <br /> ® SITE PLAN REVIEW <br /> ® CGA's planning staff possesses a thorough and complete understanding of planning processes from both a <br /> public and private perspective and from municipal to state authority.
