Lauderhill Commission Weighs Inverrary Golf Course Rezoning for 888 Homes; Rate Assessments and Budget on Agenda
Inverrary Golf Course Rezoning Up for Second Reading
The Lauderhill City Commission scheduled a second reading of Ordinance 26O-06-116 on July 13, which would rezone a 132.57-acre portion of the Inverrary Golf Course from Commercial Recreation (CR) and Open Space & Recreational (S-1) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The rezoning would allow up to 888 dwelling units on the site, located south of NW 44th Street and west of Rock Island Road.
Minutes from the July 13 meeting have not yet been published, so the outcome of the second reading is not yet confirmed in the public record.
The same meeting agenda included a special exception request from U Save Food Store at 4039 NW 19th Street to extend operating hours from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM.
Consent agenda items listed for the meeting included:
- A staging area license agreement with Florida Power & Light for emergency storm response at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center parking lot.
- A piggyback contract with National Metering Services, via the City of Hollywood, for lead and copper rule service line inventory, up to $100,000.
- A piggyback contract with DataWorks Plus, via FDLE, for rapid biometric identification devices for the police department, up to $42,952.
Preliminary Rate Assessments for FY 2027
On July 14, the Commission held a public hearing on preliminary rate assessments for fiscal year 2027. The agenda listed the following resolutions:
- **Habitat Safe Neighborhood Improvement District:** Assessment not to exceed $125.00 (Res. 26R-07-126).
- **Manors of Inverrary:** $100 for the Master Association; $400 for Condo I and XI (Res. 26R-07-127).

- **Stormwater and garbage/recycling:** Assessments for St. George, West Ken Lark, Broward Estates, and the Swap Shop (Res. 26R-07-130, 26R-07-131).
- **Fire rescue:** Assessments for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026 (Res. 26R-07-132).
Minutes from this hearing have not yet been published, so final action on these resolutions is not yet confirmed.
Budget Workshop: FY 2026-2027
Also on July 14, the city manager presented the proposed budget for fiscal year 2026-2027 at a limited-agenda budget workshop. No votes or public hearings were scheduled; the meeting was for discussion and presentation only.
What This Means for Residents
The Inverrary Golf Course rezoning, if approved, would change the land use on more than 132 acres and allow residential development of up to 888 units. The rate assessment resolutions, if adopted, would set charges for neighborhood improvements, stormwater, garbage/recycling, and fire rescue services for the coming fiscal year. The budget workshop presentation offers residents a look at city spending priorities before formal adoption.
Because minutes for all three meetings have not yet been published, residents should check the city's official records for confirmed outcomes and vote tallies.
Coming Up
No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents are encouraged to monitor the City of Lauderhill's official website for newly posted agendas and published minutes from the July 13 and July 14 meetings.
