Central Plantation Conceptual Master Plan
Central Plantation (the District) has reached a point in
its development such that the City of Plantation is now
planning for revitalization and new economic
development opportunities for the area. The City has
initiated this process by having the Keith and Schnars,
P.A. consultant team prepare a Conceptual Master Plan.
Location
Central Plantation is framed between University Drive
on the east, Pine Island Road on the west and Cleary
Boulevard and Interstate I-595 (I-595) on the north and
south, respectively. Central Plantation encompasses
approximately 860 acres and measures approximately ¾
mile from east to west and two miles from the north to
south.
Purpose of Plan
The purpose of the Central Plantation Conceptual Master
Plan is to provide the City of Plantation with a vision
and strategies to guide economic revitalization efforts,
urban design, public improvements, transportation
systems, and other development activities for years to
come in the District.
This project involved a comprehensive approach by
defining the District’s existing conditions, constraints,
and potential opportunities. With an understanding of
the District’s needs, the Master Plan has been designed
to foster economic sustainability and enhance mobility
through the transformation of the District’s suburban
development pattern to a new urban form and character.
The sections presented with this Executive Summary
and within the Conceptual Master Plan include:
• Existing Development Patterns
• Market Analysis and Conditions
• Development Potential and Development Program
• Conceptual Master Plan
• Sub-District and Prototype Site Plans
• Mobility and Transit
• Capital Improvements
• Plan Implementation
This report is intended to provide a summary of the
findings and recommendations resulting from the Central
Plantation Conceptual Master Plan project.

I. Existing Development Patterns
Central Plantation’s development patterns can be
generally characterized as typical suburban
development. These existing physical conditions
present many opportunities for sustainable
improvements in the future. The following is a
summary of the District’s opportunities and
constraints.
Opportunities:
• District has market and physical potential to
provide redevelopment, infill, and economic
development opportunities.
• Existing corporate offices and national
retailers provide a stable economic
foundation.
• Large parking areas, private roadways, and
wide public roadways can facilitate mixed
modes of transportation and streetscape
amenities.
• Large corporate offices provide good base for
regional transit ridership.
• Pine Island Park can become a civic/urban
open space.
• Central Broward location has good access to
regional transportation.
• Super blocks reduce need for land assembly.
• Quality and stable neighborhoods in the City
attract quality businesses.
• Large parking lots provide excellent infill
development opportunities.
• City is active in promoting planned economic
development and has established a
Development District.
Constraints:
• Lack of central place and public spaces.
• Large super blocks with no organizing street
grid.
• Segregated land uses with limited residential
development.
• No entrance or defining features to the
District.
• Streetscape is not articulated and lacks
amenities.
• Mobility is dependent upon the arterial system
and automobiles.
• Lack of continuous and connecting streets.
• Poor interconnectivity between buildings and
sites.

II. Market Analysis and Conditions
Central Plantation’s solid economic foundation, geographic location, and historic trends in the local real estate
market indicate there is a strong opportunity for future growth and development. Central Plantation exhibits strong
market dynamics and trends, which enhances the Districts ability to capture or recapture demand for retail, office,
and residential markets. In addition, the District’s market dynamics and trends will only strengthen as a result of the
Conceptual Master Plan. The following is a summary of the critical economic indictors and real estate market
trends for the District, City of Plantation, and Broward County using the available data.
Economic Overview
• Population: The City’s population as a whole is 83,000
people. The District’s population is 1,600 people.
• Population Growth: The City’s current annual
population growth is 2.2% (County’s 2.6%) and is
expected to grow at a rate of 2.4% in the future.
• Employment Base: The District’s current employment
base equals 20,500 + employees.
• Employment Growth: The City’s 10-year employment
growth rate has been close to 3.1% and is expected to
grow at a rate of 2.1% in the next ten years.
• Median Household Income: The City’s median
household income is $54,000 ($42k for the County).
• Average/Median Home Price: The average home price

Real Estate Market Overview
• Vacant Land Values: The current vacant land values are estimated at $10-$18 per sq. ft.
• Retail: There is no new net demand for significant retail in the foreseeable future, but there are opportunities
for redeveloping existing retail into lifestyle retailers and “MainStreet’ storefronts. The existing retail occupancy
rates are at 85%. In the next five years, the retail rents are estimated to be $25-$35 per sq. ft. (assuming this
space is designed according to the standards set forth in the Conceptual Master Plan).
• Office: The City’s office market comprises over 4.5 million sq. ft. of space and is one of the largest/strongest
office submarkets in the County with an occupancy rate of 92%. The District alone comprises 3.0 million sq. ft.
of space, nearly 2/3 of which is Class A office, and the occupancy rate is 91%. In the next five years, the office
rents are estimated to be $20-$23 per sq. ft. (gross). Within ten years, it is estimated that the office market will
have the ability to absorb an additional 750,000 sq. ft. of Class A/B+ office space.
• For-Sale Residential: The City’s central area median home values are approaching $200,000. In the next five
years, the for-sale prices are estimated to be on average $180,000-$225,000. Within ten years, it is estimated that
the for-sale market will have the ability to absorb an additional 950 units.
• For-Rent Residential: The City’s rental apartment market remains strong and is expected to continue
strengthening during the next few years. In the next five years, the average rent prices are estimated to be
between $1,000-$1,200. Within ten years, it is estimated that the rental market in the District will have the
ability to absorb an additional 1,050 units.
• Hotel: The District has approximately 1,500+ total hotel rooms. In the next ten years, it is estimated that the
hotel market will have the ability to absorb an additional 400 mid-level hotel rooms.

III. Development Potential and Development Program
Existing development patterns, architectural styles,
building conditions, and land uses (in conjunction with
market forces) are factors that provide insight to the
development potential in the Central Plantation area.
An evaluation of the existing conditions found that
approximately 279 acres of the 860 acres in the
District could be redeveloped during the next 20 years.
The market conditions and development timing for
the 279 developable acres of land includes:
Immediate Development Opportunities
Undeveloped land where there has not been a building
permit issued for development is available for
immediate development (approximately 41 acres).
Near Term Redevelopment Opportunities
Due to market conditions, and/or obsolete or
deteriorated buildings and site conditions, and/or site
demand, redevelopment of this property is likely to
occur in the next ten year period (approximately 136
acres).
Long Term Redevelopment Opportunities
Current market and physical conditions are healthy
enough such that additional time will be needed to
increase the need for redevelopment. Redevelopment
is likely to occur during the 10-20 year time frame
(approximately 66 acres).
Infill Opportunities
Properties where owner/tenant needs and/or
locational advantages may be the critical factors for
redevelopment. No specific timing for redevelopment
is predicted (approximately 36 acres).
The remaining 581 acres in the District are considered
to be in sustainable physical and market conditions.
Development Program
Based on the District’s market analysis and
development potential a strategic development
program has been outlined. The planned development
program is separated into three time phases and four
land use categories, all of which correspond with the
Conceptual Master Plan and the Transit Plans.
The four land uses are Residential, Office,
Commercial, and Hotel. The table to the right
describes the future development program with
development intensities and densities.

IV. Conceptual Master Plan
The Conceptual Master Plan is delineated into three continuous
phases, Phase I: 2003-2007, Phase II: 2008-2012, and Phase III:
2013-2025.
Each phase includes public and private investments that are critical
in the timing and development of the future land use, street
network, mobility/transit, public open space, parks and plazas,
redevelopment opportunities, building typologies and locations.
The following is a list of the guiding and defining principals that
are used to meet the objectives of:
Land Use and Urban Design
• Land uses will be tightly integrated within an urbanized, mixeduse
development pattern.
• Development will cluster around several key nodes that will
form the centers of distinct Sub-Districts.
• Park and civic activities will take place in various plaza and
urban open space venues.
• New residential development will increase the supply and type
of dwelling units in Central Plantation.
• Streetscapes will be enhanced with building placement along
the street, wide sidewalks, on-street parking, and landscaping.
Economic Development
• Redevelopment and infill development will be used to increase
the variety of business activities and to provide sustainable
economic development.
• Commercial/retail venues will evolve as mixed-use,
“MainStreet” environments.
• New uses and infrastructure will enhance the area’s
opportunities and prominence as a major regional office
center.
Transportation and Mobility
• Transportation and mobility will involve a multi-modal
approach that is less dependent on the automobile.
• Traffic circulation will be improved with the development of a
modified grid street network and a new internal North South
(N/S) roadway.
• Land uses and streets will be integrated to facilitate pedestrian
activity and local/regional transit systems.
Finance and Implementation
• Development District revenues will be utilized to maximize
grant opportunities and to encourage planned private
development.
• Implementation of the Conceptual Master Plan will involve key
investment programs by the City, development community,
and grant agencies in a coordinated and cooperative manner.
• New development regulations, Capital Improvements Plans
(CIP) and transit programs for the District will be needed to
implement the Plan.

V. Sub-District and Prototype Site Plans
Sub-Districts and Prototype Site Plans are provided to graphically present more specific concepts to guide the City
during the implementation of the Conceptual Master Plan. There are five proposed Sub-Districts, each of which
incorporates economic development, quality urban design and improved mobility. Each Sub-District focuses on a
geographic area with specific planning concepts. These concepts are further defined, quantified and illustrated with
Prototype Site Plans. The Prototype Site Plans describe land uses, planned growth, site and building concepts, and
infrastructure and redevelopment strategies.

VI. Mobility and Transit
A multi-modal approach to improve mobility in the
District is planned. This approach is intended to
improve traffic circulation, encourage pedestrian
activities, reduce dependence on automobiles and
provide alternate modes of transportation. This
multi-modal approach includes:
• Pedestrian oriented land uses and
streetscapes.
• Greenway paths throughout the District for
pedestrians and bicycles.
• A modified grid street network to improve
traffic circulation.
• Transportation demand practices to
encourage the use of carpools and transit.
• Local and regional transit facilities and
service.
The local component of the transit element involves
a circulator system within the District. The regional
transit component plans for a premium (high
capacity, light rail or bus rapid transit) system routed
along the I-595 corridor.
The implementation of the local transit service will
be coordinated with the development of the
improved internal roadway and route structure,
transit oriented development, connections to the I-
595 regional transit system, and ridership. It is
anticipated that with these factors in play, the
funding resources necessary to implement the transit
facilities and services will be borne primarily by
applicable grant agencies. The regional transit
system will be planned and implemented by
Regional, State and Federal transit agencies.
There are three planning phases for local transit that
correspond with the Conceptual Master Plan
development phases. These phases include: Transit
Demonstration Project Phase I: 2003-2007, Transit
Plan Phase II: 2008-2012, and Transit Plan Phase
III: 2013-2025.
Phase I and II Transit Plan
Phase I: Transit Demonstration Project
The Phase I Transit Demonstration project is
intended to test the demand and technology for a
local transit circulator within Central Plantation.
The routes identified for the demonstration project
link large employers, regional shopping centers,
institutional uses and Broward County Transit.

VI. Mobility and Transit (Continued)
Phase II: Local Transit Plan
The second phase of the local transit plan will
expand the demonstration project routes and
provide an overall transit circulator system to
service the District. The planned routes and
transit stops will provide efficient and timely
service for commuter and local riders. The
routes include stops that connect the largest
employers and businesses in the District with
vital connections to future regional transit
linkages.
Phasing the transit plans will enable the City
to participate in future transit grant
opportunities. A coordinated and cooperative
effort between the City and development
community will produce the necessary
roadway improvements for the transit routes
and increased economic development that will
generate increased transit ridership.
Phase III: Local Transit Plan
The Phase III transit service will expand the
local circulator routes and connect to a
premium east-west regional transit service
along I-595. The regional transit system will
provide significant commuter service for
employees in the District. The commuters
will in turn utilize the expanded local transit
circulator system to efficiently access
businesses and destinations in the District.
An important component of the District’s
new transit facilities will be a regional transit
center at I-595. This center will incorporate a
transit oriented development that will include
businesses, offices and residences.

VI. Mobility and Transit (Continued)
Vehicle Technology
There are various types of transit vehicles and
technologies that can be considered by the City and
transit agencies for the local circulator system. The
actual selection of a vehicle and technology will be made
with more specific evaluation at the time of the planned
implementation. The preferred vehicle type is a
modified rubber tire vehicle (examples are shown on the
right). Some of the unique attributes of the preferred
vehicle type and technology should include:
• Seating Capacity – A manageable/efficient vehicle
size of 30 to 45 seats/vehicles.
• Environmental Factors – Electric powered,
alternative fuels, and hybrid vehicles provide lower
emissions and greater fuel efficiency.
Modified Rubber Tire Vehicle
• Comfort and Ease of Use – Low step boarding,
wide entrances and seating dimensions with a
climate controlled environment.
• Circulation and Distribution Capability – Designed
for shuttle service on roadways in urbanized areas
without requiring special guide ways.
• Reliability – Vehicle technologies should have an
acceptable history of providing reliable service in
several urban settings.
Intelligent Transportation Vehicle
• Roadway Impacts – Minimal need to alter roadways,
acquire property, or modify street frontage.
• Aesthetics/Attractiveness – The appearance of the
vehicle should enhance the service area and be
attractive for both users and non-users.
Street Network and Traffic Circulation
The Street Network currently relies on the arterial
roadway system for traffic circulation and parking lot
driveways for connectivity. The Conceptual Master Plan
identifies various new streets, street extensions, and
roadway enhancements to improve traffic circulation,
connectivity, and pedestrian activities. The development
of these streets will also provide on-street parking,
transit routes, and redevelopment opportunities.

VII. Capital Improvements
The Conceptual Master Plan includes four different types of capital improvements. They include: Street
Improvements and or Enhancements, Greenway Projects, Public Parks and Plaza Projects, and Transit Related
Projects. Implementation of the capital improvements will occur in a coordinated and cooperative approach
between the City, private developers, and other public agencies. The following is a summary of the capital
improvements as presented in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

Capital Improvement Map (CIP)
The CIP envisions a balanced District budget as a result of
a multi-funding strategy. This strategy includes funds from
District revenues, the private sector, and other public
agencies. As the implementation of the project
approaches, more detailed project costs will need to be
assessed and evaluated.
