Central Beach Master Plan

The purpose of the Central Beach Master Plan and Las Olas Gateway Plan is to determine future development patterns and public improvements in the beach area. A significant amount of private development and public investment has occurred on Fort Lauderdale’s barrier island over the last 20 years. Most of this development growth was based on planning studies conducted in the 1980’s. This project will measure the success of previous plans and create a new plan that addresses the unique opportunities and challenges for private development and public improvements between the beach and the Intracoastal Waterway. The objectives of the project are as follows:

  1. Provide opportunities for the community to work together to discuss and analyze previous successes and failures in Fort Lauderdale’s Central Beach area;
  2. Build upon the planning foundations set forth in previous studies;
  3. The development of a long range, community based Central Beach Master Plan;
  4. Create a gateway to the beach along Las Olas Boulevard;
  5. Recommend updates to the Beach Streetscape Plan;
  6. Propose ways of using public and private investments to strategically advance the goals of the Plan; and
  7. Review existing practices and propose methods for implementing the Plan.
