Fort Lauderdale city leaders voted Wednesday night to move forward with a redevelopment plan that could bring 10- to 15-story high rises to a residential area.

Meanwhile, some neighbors told NBC6 they were “frustrated, disillusioned” with the decision.

Troy Liggett is president of the Middle River Terrace Association, which covers the area in question, the 13th Street Corridor, an area mainly filled with single-family homes.

The group has been fighting against the city’s plan to allow those high rises, concerned that they would bring traffic, noise and congestion.

“We’ve had dozens of meetings about this. We have gone to the city again and again to ask them to listen to us and they refuse,” Liggett said.

After residents voiced their concerns, the city’s Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to move forward with the plan.

In a statement, the city said: “The city of Fort Lauderdale is committed to making sure our residents’ voices are heard. The Central City rezoning effort has been in discussion for several years and has included multiple public engagement efforts along the way. After being approved by the Planning and Zoning Board, the issue will head to commission. Residents will have another opportunity to share their concerns prior to a final vote.”

Development in Fort Lauderdale isn’t just happening in the 13th Street Corridor.

Last month, NBC6 reported on plans to turn the struggling Galleria Mall into nine 30-story towers with about 3,000 units, a hotel, and room for retail, restaurant and office space.

City leaders including Mayor Dean Trantalis said that plan “took our breath away. It’s far in excess of anything anyone has before proposed for the galleria.”

But those who live nearby said they worried about its impact.

“You’re providing over 4,000 parking spaces, which says to me this is an auto-dependant type of development. There’s no alternative means for people to get around,” Tim Hernandez, president of the Coral Ridge Country Club Estates Community Association, said.

As far as the middle terrace development, the plan will now go before the city commissioners.

Residents say they plan to show up to that meeting in full force.
