III. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. TX-021-26: The applicant, the City of Dania Beach, is requesting several text amendments to the City’s
Code of Ordinances, Land Development Code (LDC).
Claudia Viviana Batista, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented this agenda item with a PowerPoint presentation.
She explained one-by-one the text amendments and the code clean-up of twelve items. The Vice Chair asked about
the lot size for duplexes and the appropriate place for duplexes. The Acting Director explained the intent was that in
certain zoning districts, a duplex should be designed for the lot and not change the garage of an existing single-family
into a duplex. He also questioned regarding residents who watch dogs, kenneling, that they would not be prohibited
from doing that. As there were no further board questions, public comments were requested. Shawn DeRosa passed
out documents and requested comments/changes. He spoke about when community outreach was to occur but did not
include any objective procedures after outreach occurred and revisions happened. He said his packet was provided to
strengthen transparency, accountability, consistency, etc. There were no other public comments or board
questions/comments. City Attorney Boutsis clarified the amendments.
Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Minutes 2 June 17, 2026
Motion was made by Vice Chair De Las Salas to recommend approval to the City Commission of TX-021-26 and
was seconded by Board Member Silver. Motion passed 5-0.
2. TX-026-26: To approve the amendments to the City’s public art board ordinance.
City Attorney Boutsis presented and explained that there was no PowerPoint presentation for this agenda item. This
was a request from City Commissioner Lewellen. The City Attorney clarified that none of the other boards have a
Commissioner Liaison position and it was recommended to remove the Commissioner Liaison position from the
Public Art Advisory Board (PAAB). Then all boards would be consistent and would make recommendations to the
City Commission without any commissioner(s) being part of the board process. Board Member Wright inquired as
to the original intent of this position and the City Attorney explained. As there were no other board comments at this
time, public comments were requested. There were no public comment requests to speak.
Motion was made by Board Member Roberts to recommend approval to the City Commission of TX-026-26 and
was seconded by Board Member Silver. Motion passed 5-0.
Without objection, Vice Chair De Las Salas spoke about public art and thought given about the materials being utilized
to ensure long-term durability and for maintenance purposes. He wrote about reviewing and verifying prior to
approval of any public art installation and read his proposal into the record. The City Attorney suggested that this
should be a separate ordinance and brought forth as a separate item. Acting Director Lajoie explained that the City
had a public art consultant who was a professional in the industry and that the PAAB already had different types of
maintenance requirements. The board’s budget even has a maintenance line item. The Vice Chair would like to see
that codified. The City Attorney asked if there was consensus to bring this matter forward to the City Commission.
Board Member Roberts would like to see that the work was warranted with repairs, etc. and the City Attorney said
that the City now made contracts that contained conditions and warranties. Vice Chair De Las Salas asked about the
funding for public art. The City Attorney said that there was one more requirement in this ordinance and she explained
it. Board Member Wright asked what was meant by long-term and discussion ensued. The City Attorney asked if
this discussion was requested as part of the proposal because we have to understand what art lifetime meant as Board
Member Wright felt that maintenance should be put on the artist during that lifetime. Board Member Rosner
questioned longevity and the funds managed by the PAAB.
Motion was made by Vice Chair De Las Salas to use the language he read into the record regarding public art plus
the other items discussed like art lifetime, etc. as a separate ordinance to be brought forth as a separate item and
was seconded by Board Member Silver. Motion passed 5-0.
The City Attorney said she would use the language read into the record by the Vice Chair with the other
recommendations and present it to the elected officials to see if they would like to pursue it.

RE: Criteria Statement for TX-015-26, SP-013-26, SE-014-26
Two City of Fort Lauderdale Owned Properties Located at NE 10th Street and Taylor Road,
Dania Beach, Florida 33004, (Folio Nos. 504234000030 and 504234000031) (the “Property”)
On August 19, 2025, the City Commission of the City of Fort Lauderdale approved a resolution authorizing
a lease of the Property to Marine Industries Association of South Florida, Inc. (“MIASF”), pursuant to
Section 8.13 of the City Charter of Fort Lauderdale (the “Lease”).
On behalf of MIASF, we are respectfully submitting this Land Development Code (“LDC”) Text
Amendment, Site Plan, and Special Exception application. MIASF, as Applicant and lessee of the Property
with the consent and authorization of the City of Fort Lauderdale as owner of the Property, requests approval
of the Text Amendment, Site Plan, and Special Exception to facilitate the use of the Property to store and
manage floating docks and associated equipment utilized in major boating events in South Florida, as more
specifically described in the uploaded Project Summary. Additionally, pursuant to the Lease, MIASF will
also collaborate with the City of Fort Lauderdale to prepare and utilize a designated fifteen percent (15%)
portion of the Property, approximately 30,000 square feet, for City debris management operations.
Specifically, the Applicant seeks to amend Section 115-40, entitled “Schedule of Permitted Uses,” to add
outdoor storage, management, maintenance, servicing, securing, access, loading and unloading of floating
docks, equipment trailers, and associated materials utilized in major boating events as a Special Exception
use within the General Industrial (“IG”) zoning district. The Applicant also seeks to amend Section 155-50,
entitled “Conditions of Use,” to establish conditions of use governing such uses within the IG zoning
district. Concurrently with the requested text amendments, the Applicant is submitting a Site Plan
application requesting approval of the proposed use as a Special Exception.
The City of Fort Lauderdale, as owner of the Property, has expressly authorized MIASF and its agents and
counsel to file and pursue all necessary applications and approvals from applicable governmental agencies
for the development and operation of the Property to implement the proposed use as provided in the
Authorization letter included with this submittal.
Property and Project Description
The Property consists of approximately 9.09 acres located on the south side of NE 10th Street and Taylor
Road in Dania Beach, Florida. The Property is owned by the City of Fort Lauderdale and is zoned General
Industrial (“IG”) by the City of Dania Beach.
TX-015-26, SP-013-26, SE-014-26
Page 2 of 5
Approximately 6.77 acres, representing nearly seventy percent (70%) of the Property, are encumbered by a
Florida Power & Light easement for powerline towers and transmission lines. Due to the restrictions
imposed by the easement, permanent structures are prohibited within the encumbered area, significantly
limiting the developable portion of the Property.
Only approximately 1.43 acres located outside the easement area are considered potentially usable for
development. As a result, viable uses of the Property are limited primarily to outdoor storage-related
activities that can accommodate the existing easement constraints.
MIASF is a longstanding nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting, protecting, and growing the
regional marine and tourism industries. MIASF owns and operates, via its partners, the Fort Lauderdale
International Boat Show (“FLIBS”), which generates approximately $1.8 billion in economic impact
annually for the City of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County.
MIASF approached the City of Fort Lauderdale seeking to lease the City-owned Property in Dania Beach
to support its operations. The Property, with its direct waterfront access, is ideally suited for the storage,
maintenance, and deployment of floating docks and marine equipment utilized for major boating events
throughout South Florida. Use of the Property for these purposes supports water-based transportation
logistics and reduces traffic congestion during major events.
The Lease satisfies the public purpose requirements of Section 8.13 of the City Charter of Fort Lauderdale
by:
• Supporting South Florida’s marine economy;
• Reducing roadway congestion associated with large marine events;
• Improving public property with at least $2 million of private investment; and
• Preserving public ownership of waterfront real estate.
LDC Analysis
Provided below is an analysis demonstrating compliance with the applicable LDC criteria.
Sec. 630-50. Special exception use review standards; application disposition.
(A) The planning and zoning board or city commission, as applicable, shall review the application to
determine whether the special exception use complies with the following standards:
(1) That the use is permitted as a special exception use as set forth in the use regulations of part 1 of
this code.
RESPONSE: The Applicant concurrently seeks approval of a Land Development Code
Text Amendment to Section 115-40, “Schedule of Permitted Uses,” and Section 155-50,
“Conditions of Use,” to establish outdoor storage, management, maintenance, servicing,
securing, access, loading and unloading of floating docks, equipment trailers, and
associated materials utilized in major boating events as a Special Exception use within the
IG (General Industrial) zoning district.
TX-015-26, SP-013-26, SE-014-26
Page 3 of 5
Upon approval of the requested Text Amendment, the proposed use will be expressly
permitted within the IG zoning district subject to Special Exception approval and
compliance with the conditions of use set forth in Section 155-50.
(2) That the use will not cause a detrimental impact to the value of existing contiguous uses, uses in
the general area, and to the zoning district where it is to be located.
RESPONSE: The proposed use will not adversely impact the value of surrounding
properties. The Property is surrounded primarily by properties zoned and utilized for
industrial and marine-related purposes consistent with the IG zoning designation.
The proposed outdoor storage of floating docks and associated marine equipment is
consistent with the operational character of the surrounding industrial area and will
function as a logistical staging area supporting marine events throughout the region.
Additionally, the conditions of use proposed in Section 155-50 require screening, buffering,
height limitations on stored materials, and minimum separation from residentially used or
zoned properties. These standards ensure that the use will be appropriately controlled and
will not negatively affect surrounding properties or property values.
(3) That the use will be compatible with the existing uses on contiguous property, with uses in the
general area and zoning district where the use is to be located and compatible with the general
character of the area, considering population density, design, scale and orientation of structures
to the area, property values and existing similar uses or zoning.
RESPONSE: The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area and zoning
district. The Property and surrounding properties are zoned IG (General Industrial), a
zoning classification intended to accommodate industrial, marine-related, and storage-
oriented uses.
(4) That adequate landscaping and screening are provided to buffer adjacent uses from potential
incompatibilities.
RESPONSE: The proposed use will comply with all landscaping and screening
requirements established under the Code and the proposed conditions of use.
Specifically, the conditions of use require:
• A minimum six-foot wall screening outdoor storage areas from any residentially used
or zoned property and from public rights-of-way;
• Compliance with all perimeter landscaping requirements pursuant to Article 275; and
• A landscaped buffer along the canal with a minimum depth of forty (40) feet, including
required tree and hedge plantings along the canal frontage.
These requirements ensure that the outdoor storage areas will be adequately screened and
buffered from adjacent properties and rights-of-way.
(5) That adequate parking and loading is provided, and ingress and egress is so designed as to cause
minimum interference with traffic on abutting streets.
RESPONSE: The use primarily involves the staging, storage, and deployment of floating
docks and associated equipment trailers. Most loading and unloading activities will occur
internally on the Property and via water access through the Dania Cut-Off Canal,
minimizing impacts on surrounding roadways.
TX-015-26, SP-013-26, SE-014-26
Page 4 of 5
(6) That the use will not have a detrimental environmental impact upon contiguous properties and
upon properties located in the general area or an environmental impact inconsistent with the
health, safety and welfare of the community.
RESPONSE: The proposed use will not have a detrimental environmental impact. The
conditions of use require that all outdoor storage areas be paved or otherwise surfaced to
prevent dust generation and protect groundwater resources. Additionally, all paving,
drainage, and stormwater systems will comply with applicable City Code requirements
(7) That the use will not have a detrimental effect on vehicular or pedestrian traffic, or parking
conditions, and will not result in the generation or creation of traffic inconsistent with the health,
safety and welfare of the community.
RESPONSE: The proposed use will not adversely affect traffic or parking conditions in
the surrounding area. The Property is intended to primarily function as outdoor storage
and staging facility. Operational activities will largely be coordinated with marine access
via the canal, reducing reliance on roadway transportation and minimizing traffic impacts.
(8) That the use will not utilize turning movements in relation to its access to public roads or
intersections, or its location in relation to other structures or proposed structures on or near the
site that would be hazardous or a nuisance.
RESPONSE: The site plan has been designed to provide safe internal circulation and
adequate turning radii for trailers and service vehicles.
Access points and internal drive aisles allow vehicles to maneuver safely within the
Property without requiring hazardous turning movements or impacting adjacent
properties or roadways.
(9) That the use will not have a detrimental effect on the future development of contiguous properties
or the general area, according to the comprehensive plan.
RESPONSE: The proposed use is consistent with the industrial and marine-related
character of the surrounding area and will not impede future development of adjacent
properties.
Because the use is compatible with the IG zoning district and the surrounding industrial
context, it will support the continued development of marine-related and industrial uses
within the area consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
(10) That the use will not result in the creation of incompatible noise, lights, vibrations, fumes, odors,
dust or physical activities, taking into account existing uses, uses located on contiguous
properties, uses in the general area and the zoning in the vicinity due to its nature, duration,
direction or character.
RESPONSE: The proposed use consists primarily of outdoor storage and logistical staging
of floating docks and associated equipment. The nature of the activity does not involve
industrial manufacturing or heavy processing that would generate excessive noise,
vibration, or emissions.
(11) That the use will not overburden existing public services and facilities.
RESPONSE: The proposed use will not place significant demands on public services or
infrastructure. The facility functions primarily as a storage and staging area with limited
staffing and operational intensity.
