State Road 7 CRA
Overview
On June 14, 2004, the City Commission of Lauderhill adopted Resolution 04-R0691, which approved the findings of Necessity Report for the State Road 7 Corridor and forwarded the report to the Broward County Commission for review and action. On June 22, 2004, the Broward County Commission passed Resolution 2004-596, which conferred power to the City of Lauderhill to create a Community Redevelopment Agency and prepare a Community Redevelopment Plan for the State Road 7 Corridor.
Some of the goals outlined in this plan consisted of:
- Improving traffic circulation and access in the State Road 7 Corridor
- Creating a distinct identity through Streetscape improvements and Design Standards
- Adding Residential and Mixed Use Development that Supports the Corridor Identity and Commercial Properties
- Developing Open Space and Park Facilities to Create a Sense of Place and Community
- Transition Zones
- Architecture and Design
- Community Policing INITIATIVES
Plans & Maps
The City of Lauderhill and the Lauderhill Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) have developed a bold, comprehensive plan to reverse decades of slow decline in the State Road 7 corridor and to transform it into a showcase of diversity, style, and function in Broward County. The plan, already in progress, features infrastructure improvements that are not only aesthetically pleasing but which also, taken as a whole, create a sense of place that reflects the diversity of cultures in Lauderhill, defines the City and contributes to its moniker as an All-America City.
The plan leverages a new Broward County Regional Park and Cricket field as a magnet for international tourism and housing development. Finally, the plan calls for active public involvement in the redevelopment process through land acquisition and zoning changes that allow for partnerships with private developers that share the same vision of the plan. For more information on development opportunities within our CRA boundaries please contact our Economic Development Division.

Project 2: Leparc
A 320 unit Apartment Complex with a full array of luxury amenities is coming to 38th avenue. This structure is designed to compliment the district and create an area in the City where its residents can truly live, play, and work. This project has been approved and is currently in the development phases.

The City of Lauderhill has plans to build a lifestyle center, hotel, parking garage, and beer garden, on the land adjacent to the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center, coined the “Lauderhill Market Place”. These designs will help compliment the Performing Arts Center, attract more visitors to the area, and bring more traffic to the surrounding businesses. This project is still in the planning phases and a date of completion is still to be determined.

Project 4: 38th Avenue Extension

Our goal is to create a full immersive entertainment experience for all of those who visit the district.
