TX-020-26 The property owner, CP DI IOS DANIA LP, is requesting a text
amendment to the City's Land Development Code (LDC) relating to the
Marine zoning district.
Request
Text Amendment to include recreational vehicles sales and services in the Marine (MA) zoning
district.
Background
The MA zoning district is located along Old Griffin Road and east of Bryan Road. The surrounding
districts include Neighborhood Residential (NBHD-RES) on the east, Neighborhood Office and
Banking District (C-1) south, and Industrial, Research, Office Marine (IROM) zoning on the west.
This district is intended to primarily accommodate marine uses to further the expansion of the
Marine Industry in Dania Beach. This district was previously zoned General Business District (C-
3). The MA zoning district received approval to rezone Marine (MA) in February of 2011, (0-2011-
007).
Request
The request is to amend Code Section 110-20 (List of permitted uses) as the current LDC permits
"Outdoor storage of fully-assembled, operational passenger vehicles, boats and boat trailers, and
recreational vehicles", and "Outdoor sales, leasing, rental, display, storage of fully assembled new
boats, new trailers and marine vessels" within the MA district, but does not permit the sales and
service of new recreational vehicles or sales of RV accessories and parts within the district. For
this reason, a text amendment is requested. This amendment will create a new permitted use
category within Section 110-20 for sales, service, washing, and associated outdoor storage of
new and used recreational vehicles, and sale of recreational vehicles parts and accessories.
In addition to this additional use category an amendment to Section 110-305 will include
conditions of use, permitted use associated with the proposed use category. The proposed
conditions will limit the hours of operation, require recreational vehicles be serviced or washed
within 100' of any residential zoned property, and ensure that new security poles installed next to
residential areas must be installed with shields that preclude spillage onto adjacent residential
