Atlantic One Site Plan: The Atlantic One apartment development, located at 1736 East Atlantic Blvd and the adjacent parcels between Atlantic Blvd and SE 3rd St, is scheduled for review by the Planning & Zoning Board on Wednesday, June 25th. This Major Site Plan application includes several modifications to the previously approved site plan. The development will still feature 303 residential units with amenities and 388 parking spaces (an increase from the original 374). The Planning & Zoning Board has final decision-making authority on site plans, and this item will not be reviewed or voted on by the City Commission. This meeting is your opportunity to provide public comment.

Mobile DMV Coming to Pompano Beach – July 16:

I’ve heard your concerns about accessing DMV services in Pompano Beach. While the City does not have jurisdiction over the DMV, I’ve partnered with State Senator Jason Pizzo to bring a Mobile DMV unit to our community on Wednesday, July 16th from 10am-2pm. Appointments are required and limited, so be sure to reserve your spot early. Before booking, please review the list of available services to ensure your needs can be met.

Commission Highlights


The City Commission has been focused on two big issues: the Downtown and the annual budget.


I continue to believe that the current Downtown proposal — to simply build a new City Hall and parking garage across the street from the existing facility — is uninspired and lacks both long-term vision and meaningful community input. That’s why I’ve called for a public workshop with the developer and insisted on a genuine community engagement process — a listening campaign, not another marketing campaign. Gathering this data and feedback is the minimum requirement before we’re asked to vote on funding the project. Any binding vote right now would be premature, as we’re not even close to having a palatable plan for the civic buildings. Major areas of disagreement remain, including strong and conflicting opinions about what to do with the E. Pat Larkins Center, whether we truly need a new City Hall, and what a meaningful anchor for our downtown should look like. We have much more work to do before a vote is appropriate.


On the budget, we're holding workshops to review the city's annual plan and set this year's property tax millage rate. One major increase is the proposed nearly 30% jump in the Broward Sheriff’s Office contract. We're also considering hiring a consultant to explore creating an independent Pompano Beach Police Department.


Lastly, thank you to residents who continue to voice concerns about road conditions. I recently toured our neighborhoods with the Assistant City Manager and Public Works Director to show them the issues. Over the past two years, I've pushed for more funding to speed up road resurfacing. I’m committed to improving this essential infrastructure for our community.
