The City of Fort Lauderdale for the purposes of this act [division] may formulate
for the municipality a workable program for utilizing appropriate private and public
resources to eliminate, and prevent the development or spread of slums and urban blight,
to encourage needed urban rehabilitation, to provide for the redevelopment of slum
and blighted areas, or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible
municipal activities as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such
workable program. Such workable program may include, without limitation, provision
for: the prevention of the spread of blight into areas of the municipality which are
free from blight through diligent enforcement of housing, zoning and occupancy controls
and standards; the rehabilitation or conservation of slum and blighted areas or portions
thereof by replanning, removing congestion, providing parks, playgrounds and other
public improvements, by encouraging voluntary rehabilitation and by compelling the
repair and rehabilitation of deteriorated or deteriorating structures; and the clearance
and redevelopment of slum and blighted areas or portions thereof.
