BEACH, FLORIDA, OPPOSING A BROWARD COUNTY CHARTER
AMENDMENT TO BE PLACED ON THE NOVEMBER 2020 GENERAL
ELECTION BALLOT THAT WOULD ALLOW THE COUNTY TO
SUPERSEDE CITY ZONING AND OTHER ORDINANCES WHICH WOULD

WHEREAS, under the Florida Constitution and Section 166.021, Florida Statutes,
municipalities are given broad home rule powers; and
WHEREAS, Broward County (the "County"), working with the City and other cities in
Broward County and throughout the State of Florida, have repeatedly fought to protect and
preserve local governments’ home rule power against intrusions by the State and special
interests; and
WHEREAS, currently, Section 11.01 of the County Charter provides that municipal
ordinances prevail within municipal boundaries over conflicting County ordinances, except in
the areas of minimum environmental standards, land use and ethics; and
WHEREAS, a resolution was adopted at the Broward County Commission Meeting on
June 18, 2020, which directed the placement on the general election ballot in November 2020 of
a proposed County Charter Amendment that would amend Section 11.01 of the County Charter
to add the following category in which County ordinances would prevail over conflicting
municipal ordinances: “The development of public transportation improvements, funded in
whole or in part with transportation surtax proceeds, on County-owned or County-leased
property, including through County regulation of zoning, permitting, construction, operation, or
administration. This provision shall not apply to any County transportation improvement project
for which the construction commenced after June 16, 2020, and that is located in an area zoned
residential as of June 16, 2020, unless the municipality agrees to modify such zoning or takes
such other action that would permit the intended County use" (the "Proposed Amendment"); and
WHEREAS, the office of the Broward County Attorney has advised the City that the
Proposed Amendment will also contain an additional sentence (language which is still being
RESOLUTION #2020-0672
drafted) to the effect that prior to exercising the power granted under the Proposed Amendment,
the County would meet with the applicable municipality(ies), consider other potentially available
sites, and seek to obtain the agreement of the affected municipality(ies) regarding the
development and use of the applicable property; and
WHEREAS, municipal local government is the closest, most accessible and provides the
most responsive means to address concerns of residents who live and businesses which operate
within a locality; and
WHEREAS, as part of their home rule powers, municipalities must continue to defend
and retain zoning, permitting and regulatory control over all projects proposed to be located
within their municipalities in order to protect their residents, businesses and visitors; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission believes that the Proposed Amendment would be an
unacceptable intrusion into and of municipal home rule power, and therefore, the City
Commission strongly opposes the placement of the Proposed Amendment on the general election
ballot in November 2020;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA:
Section 1.That the foregoing “Whereas” clauses are made a part of and incorporated
into this Resolution by this reference.
Section 2.That the City Commission opposes the Proposed Amendment that was
brought forth on the Broward County Commission agenda at the June 18, 2020, because it would
constitute an unwarranted intrusion into and of the municipal home rule powers of the City of
Dania Beach.
Section 3.That the City Clerk is directed to distribute this Resolution to the Board of
County Commissioners for Broward County, the Broward County League of Cities, and each of
the municipalities in Broward County.
