For your windows: Condos and apartments on the corridor answer to boards or managers that set window specs.

Mixed-use plan

Oakland Park Boulevard is the city's other corridor planned for transit-supportive intensities and vertical mixing of uses.

For your windows: Taller mixed-use buildings bring glass above 30 feet, which needs small-missile ratings.
