I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Future Land Use Element for the City of Dania Beach is to identify the
future land uses which will enable the City to attain the standards outlined in its Goals,
Objectives and Policies. The Land Use Element also serves to link the balance of the
elements of the City Comprehensive Plan.
II. EXISTING LAND USE DATA REQUIREMENTS
The City of Dania Beach consists of approximately 6.25 square miles (4,500 acres) and
extends approximately 4 miles east to west and 3 miles north to south. The City includes a
portion of oceanfront in the east disconnected from the balance of the City. Dania Beach is
one of 29 incorporated municipalities within Broward County. Dania Beach is situated south
of Fort Lauderdale, north of Hollywood, and east of Unincorporated Broward County. There
are several major arterial roadways which transect the City north/south and east/west. The
most significant highway is 1-95 in the western portion of the City. The other major
roadways within the City include U.S. #l, Dania Beach Boulevard, Griffin Road, Stirling
Road, Sheridan Street, the eastern terminus of 1-595 touches the northeast tip of the City and
the northwest tip of the City intersects with State Road#84 and 1-595.
Approximately 80% of the City is in a built condition which leaves about 20% of the City's
land vacant and available for future growth and development. Table I identifies the existing
land uses within the City as of 1997 and Table II provides the existing land uses in further
detail by flexibility zone. The following existing land use key identifies each of the various
uses on Tables I and II. The existing land use map depicts the location of the land uses.

The following will further analyze the different characteristics of the existing land uses
within the community:
A. Residential Development
Residential uses represent approximately 1,312 acres or 35% of the existing community.
Of this amount there is an approximate 50150 split of residential types between low-
density multi-family and single family.
B. Commercial Development
Commercial land use consists of approximately 462 acres or about 12% of the City. The
commercial component consists primarily of retail sales, but also includes some
wholesale trade, offices, restaurants, service outlets, automobile service facilities and the
like.
C. Industrial
The existing industrial acreage within the City represents about 584 acres or about 15%
of the City. Most of the industrial activities occur in the western portions of the City
along I-95 and State Road 84, and in eastern portions of the City along the Dania Cut-off
canal and Port Everglades.
D. Recreation/Conservation
The City contains 422 acres of recreational facilities which represent 12% of the City.
Also, private clubhouses are located within communities which provide a full range of
recreational opportunities for those residents. Dania Jai-Alai is also located within the
City which is a unique commercial recreation use.
E. Community Facilities
There are a substantial number of community facilities within the community consisting
of almost 114 acres or 3% of the City. These include a variety of public school facilities
including Collins and Dania Beach Elementary and Olsen Middle School.
F. Historical Resources
As noted and listed in the housing element there are several historical sites which have
been identified by the City.
2
G. Vacant
Vacant land consists of almost 700 acres or as noted earlier 20% of the City. The majority
of the vacant land is occurring in three parts of the City. The I-95 corridor of the
community consists primarily of industrially designated land and east of the airport
industrially oriented uses are permitted. The west and southeastern parts of the City
contain residentially designated lands. Portions of the east and southeast areas are
impacted by the existence of mangroves (wetland communities) which require permitting
through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and Broward County Department of Planning and Environmental Protection.
H. Population Projections
The City utilizes the population projections developed by the Broward County Office of
Planning and University of Florida BEBR. The seasonal population projections were
calculated by applying the percentage of seasonal units existing at the time of the census.

III. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS - 9J - 5.006(2)
A. Available Facilities
The following will provide an analysis of the availability of facilities and services to serve
the existing land uses which were outlined in the Data Requirements section and land for
which development orders have been issued.
1. Traffic Circulation
As noted in the Traffic Circulation Element, the City of Dania Beach is transected by
a variety of federal, state and county highways. This series of roadway systems
handles the majority of total traffic demand within the City while only a small portion
use collector and local streets. These collector and local streets are those streets
administered and maintained by the City of Dania Beach.
3
There are no problems or deficiencies on the local roadway system at the present time.
Accordingly, the existing land uses within the community including those with
development permits are adequately served by a smooth and efficient traffic
circulation system at the local level.
2. Sanitary Sewer
The City subscribed to the Broward County 201 program and is now only responsible
for the development, expansion and maintenance of a collection system and
transmission of wastewater to the Hollywood 201 Plant. The City's wastewater flow
is consistent with its agreement with the City of Hollywood and its 201 system.
Broward County serves the area west of Ravenswood Road. The City maintains an
adequate level of service for the existing and committed development within the City.
3. Solid Waste
The City has franchised solid waste disposal with a private company. The City has
entered into a contract with Reuter, Inc. to provide solid waste disposal. At the
present time the City has an adequate collection and disposal system which provides
the proper level of service for the existing community and committed development
within the community.
4. Drainage
The drainage system within the City of Dania Beach is composed of canals and lakes
which discharge to the Dania Cut-off Canal and the C-10 Canal. These canals
ultimately discharge into the Atlantic Ocean. The drainage system is managed by the
South Florida Water Management District, the Broward County Water Resources
Management Division, and the City Engineer. The drainage system has adequately
protected the existing community.
5. Potable Water
At the present time the water treatment plant has a design capacity of 3.0 million
gallons per day ("mgd") with present operating level 2.8 mgd reflecting an adequate
level of service. There are three areas of the City where distribution deficiencies have
been identified. The City requires existing deficiencies to be addressed at the time of
development. The existing and committed developments are adequately served with
potable water.
6. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge
Broward County has embarked upon a wellfield Protection program that prohibits
and/or regulates hazardous toxic substances within areas that may impact public
utility water supply wellfields. The City of Dania Beach has connected to the
County's regional raw water system which supplements the City wells for
requirements above 2 mgd.
The City also requires water-conserving fixtures on new construction which will
further protect the natural groundwater for the City of Dania Beach. The City also
implements emergency plans when drought conditions warrant which are in
conformance with the South Florida Water Management Districts plans and policies.

I
B. Vacant Analysis
This segment of the report analyzes the character and magnitude of the existing vacant or
undeveloped land to determine suitability for use.
1. Vacant Inventory
Table III provides an inventory of the vacant land within the community as of January
1997 by land use. As noted previously in the Comprehensive Plan, the City contains
approximately 700 acres of vacant land or about 20% of the City remains
undeveloped and available for development. A vast majority of the vacant land is
generally available for industrial/marine development. It may also be suitable for
other commercial or light and clean industrial uses and comprises over-50% of the
available land. The balance of the vacant land is represented by a mix of residential,
commercial, community facility and utility categories.
As noted in Table III, flexibility zones 58, 79, 81, 83 and 84 contain virtually all the
vacant land presently occurring within the City of Dania Beach. Flex zone 79
represents primarily the employment center base for the City of Dania Beach with
many existing industrial and marine industry related facilities currently existing. Flex
zone 83 represents primarily the western portion of Dania Beach and the majority of
the vacant land in this area is industrial in nature. Interstate 95 splits this flexibility
zone. Flexibility zone 84 in the southeastern portion of the City of Dania Beach
contains primarily a mix of various levels of residential land generally ranging in
planned densities from Estate Residential up to High Residential. Flexibility zone 58
contains a significant commercial/industrial base along S.R. 84 and west of the
airport.
2. Physiography, Drainage and Minerals
Dania Beach is nearly level in topography. The soils are underlain by limestone which
is porous allowing water to move through it laterally for long distances. The major
drainage basins affecting Dania Beach are the C-10 Canal and the Dania Cut-off
Canal. These canals are under the management and control of the South Florida Water
Management District. Physiography, topography and drainage provide no
impediments to development within any of the flex zones.
3. Soils and Wetlands
Soils are an important factor which affect development potential of land. Within the
City of Dania Beach there are a variety of soil types occurring; however, for the
undeveloped portions of the City there are only two soil types that require some
modification prior to construction. These soils are the perrine and pennsucco series.
The perrine series consists of nearly level, poorly drained soils on coastal lowlands.
The pennsucco series consists of nearly level, and very poorly drained soils on coastal
lowlands and swamps.
Both of these soils typically contain wetland species that require permitting through
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Department of Environmental Protection,
• and the Broward County Department of Planning and Environmental Protection prior
to an issuance of any development permit. Many of these wetland areas have been
substantially impacted over time and are experiencing a great deal of stress.
5
• The areas within the City which contain these soil types are portions of flexibility
zones 79 and 84. The areas within flexibility zone 79 which contain a higher degree
of wetland vegetation are north and east of Taylor Road. In flexibility 84 the areas
containing a higher percentage of wetland vegetation are the areas east of S. E. 5th
Avenue and S. Dania Beach Boulevard. Most of this property has been acquired by
Broward County as the Dania Salt Marsh. Within these areas significant care must be
taken to insure that any development proposal within these regions not only obtain the
necessary wetland permitting, but is also sensitive to the need for mitigation off site
and on site protective measures which would enhance the overall biological integrity
of the site and area. This would enhance the ability of these areas to serve as wildlife
habitat and thereby conserving natural resources occurring within the community.
The soils within flexibility zones 81 and 83 have been altered over time and are
primarily in an urban profile. There is no wetland vegetation within this area accept
what may be occurring along the lake edges of the existing excavations within the
flex zone.
As noted above, the primary concerns for the development of vacant lands as it relates
to soils are the two (2) areas within flex zone 79 and 84 which contain existing
wetland vegetation which must be conserved and enhanced by the City.
4. Wellfields
The Broward County Water Resources Management Division is responsible for the
development of a comprehensive future well field study. There are no future sites in
® the City.
5. Lakes, Beaches and Shores
All the beachfront property within the City of Dania Beach is held in public
ownership. There is a lease agreement for a restaurant/shopping facility on a portion
of the City ownership; however, this does not impact the existing beaches or shores.
Further, there is no contemplated development within the beaches or shores area.
The estuarine system within the City is minimal and primarily related to some
mangrove communities as previously pointed out in the soils and wetlands portion of
this analysis. Many of these mangrove areas have been substantially impacted and are
of mixed variety. There is however, a substantial healthy mangrove community within
the City of Hollywood immediately east of Dania Beach. The vast majority of this
area is in public ownership and is known as West Lake Park. It consists of
approximately 2,000 acres. In addition, Broward County acquired the Dania Salt
Marsh east of Southeast 5`" Avenue between Dania Beach Boulevard and Sheridan
Street.
All of the rivers, bays and lakes within the community are man-made. The rivers are
primarily the drainage canal system and the lakes were excavated to meet fill
requirements for development both in and outside the City of Dania Beach.
There are no harbors within the City of Dania Beach other than marine yacht basins
which are situated along Dania Cut-off Canal.
• 6. Historical Resources
6
® The historical resources have been identified in the Housing Element and on the
existing Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Plan. As the historic resources are
existing structures, no vacant land development will impact these historic resources.
C. Land Requirements
This portion of the land use analysis relates to the amount of land needed to accommodate
the projected population. Table III identifies by type the vacant land within the City. The
following description of the land use categories and related density is provided.
1. Permitted Uses for the City of Dania Beach Land Use Plan
The Land Use Plan is attached as an atlas and is hereby incorporated by reference as if
fully set forth herein. The Land Use Plan indicates a land use classification for each
area in the municipality. Within each classification, there are a variety of uses that
may be permitted. The community reserves the right to further restrict all uses through
its zoning ordinances. The permitted uses outlined in this section enumerate the uses
that may be allowed by the City's Zoning Ordinances.
a. Residential Use
The areas designated for residential use on the Future Land Use Map are intended
primarily for dwellings, but other land uses related to a residential environment,
including neighborhood shopping centers, neighborhood parks and schools may
0 also be appropriate therein.
Uses permitted in areas designated residential are as follows:
• Dwelling units, subject to the density limits for a parcel as designated on the
Future Land Use Plan Map and as explained in the following subsection
entitled "Residential Density".
• Home occupations and other uses accessory to a dwelling unit.
• Hotels, motels and similar lodging on parcels of property designated Low
Medium (10) or higher. The maximum number of hotel, motel or similar
lodging units permitted on any parcel designated for residential use is double
the maximum number of dwelling units permitted by the land use plan map
designation.
• Parks, golf courses and other outdoor recreational facilities, and recreational,
civic, or other cultural buildings ancillary to primary outdoor recreational use
of the site.
• Community facilities designed to serve the City's residential area such as
schools, day care centers, churches, nursing homes, governmental
administration, police and fire protection facilities, libraries and civic centers.
• Utilities, excluding the following uses: water and wastewater treatment plants,
i pumping stations, power plant substations and transmission facilities, solid
waste disposal and transfer stations, and hazardous waste (medical and similar
uses) processing, transfer, or disposal facilities.
7
• Communication facilities, if deemed appropriate by the local jurisdiction.
• Penal, correctional, and re-entry facilities are prohibited.
• Agriculture.
• Offices and/or retail sales of merchandise or services, subject to the following
limitations and provisions:
No more than a total of five (5%) percent of the area designated for
residential use on the Future Broward County Land Use Plan Map (Series)
within a flexibility zone may be used for neighborhood offices and/or
retail sales of merchandise or services.
No added contiguous area used for neighborhood offices and/or retail sales
of merchandise or services may exceed ten (10) acres. For the purpose of
this provision, contiguous is defined as: attached; located within 500 feet;
or separated only by streets and highways, canals and rivers or easements.
• On parcels of land designated by the City Land Use Plan at a residential
density of at least ten (10) dwelling units per gross area, recreational vehicle
sites at a maximum density of the maximum number of dwelling units
designated for the parcel by the City Land Use Plan if location of recreational
vehicles on the parcel of land for more than six months in any twelve month
period is permitted, or double such number of dwelling units if such location
for more than six months in any twelve month period is prohibited; and
• Special Residential Facilities subject to: meeting one of the Category
definitions as contained in the Special Residential Facilities Permitted Uses
subsection; meeting density provisions by Category type stated below; and the
limitations as expressed by the land use plan map; and if applicable, the
provisions regarding the use and allocation of reserve units, flexibility units or
bonus sleeping rooms.
Density Provisions:
• Special Residential Facility Category (1) development shall count as one
(1) dwelling unit each.
• Special Residential Facility Category (2) development shall count as two
(2) dwelling units each.
• Special Residential Facility Category (3) development shall count as one
(1) dwelling unit per every two (2) sleeping rooms regardless of the
number of kitchens or baths.
1. Residential Density
a. Density Standards
• Residential areas are shown on the Future Land Use Map according to
eight ranges of density:
8
• The Estate (1) Residential category permits up to one (1) dwelling unit
per gross acre (reserved).
• The Low (2) Residential category permits up to two (2) dwelling units
per gross acre (reserved).
• The Low (3) Residential category permits up to three (3) dwelling
units per gross acre.
• The Low (5) Residential category permits up to five (5) dwelling units
per gross acre.
• The Low-Medium (10) Residential category permits up to ten (10)
dwelling units per gross acre.
• The Medium (16) Residential category permits up to sixteen (16)
dwelling units per gross acre.
• The Medium-High (25) Residential category permits up to twenty-five
(25) dwelling units per gross acre.
Other land use categories and land uses are subject to density standards as
follows:
• • Special Residential Facilities are subject to the density standards
contained within applicable land use categories in the Permitted Uses
subsection.
Recreational vehicle sites are subject to the density standards contained
within applicable land use categories in the Permitted Uses subsection.
• Hotels, motels and similar lodging are subject to the density standards
contained within applicable land use categories in the Permitted Uses
subsection.
b. Density Calculation
All references to density within the Future Land Use Plan means gross
density. Gross density means the number of dwelling units constructed or
proposed within an area, divided by the gross acreage of the area. Gross
acreage means the total number of acres in an area, including acreage used
or proposed for streets lakes, waterways, and other proposed land uses
permitted in residential areas by the Future Land Use Plan.
Any existing live-aboard vessels which conformed to the regulations in
effect when such vessels were included within the definition of"dwelling
unit" that become nonconforming by the enactment of Broward County
Land Use Plan Text Amendment PCT 98-5 shall be removed or
• discontinued as a dwelling unit within five (5) years of the effective date
of Broward County Land Use Plan Text Amendment PCT 98-5.
(Effective date: September 7, 1998).
9
Calculations of acreage covered by different land use categories on the
Future Broward County land Use Plan Map (Series) will necessarily be
approximate, due to the scale of the map. Where edges of land use
categories are close to property lines, streets, transmission lines or other
existing lines, edges should be construed to follow those lines. A lake or
canal should be construed as having been assigned the same land use
category as that assigned to adjacent unsubmerged land. The Intracoastal
Waterway, and the rivers and canals of the primary drainage system as
identified within this plan shall not, however, be construed as having
credit towards residential density.
c. Arrangement of Dwelling Units
Any arrangement of dwelling units on a parcel of land designated for
residential use is compatible with the Dania Beach Land Use Plan as long
as the maximum number of dwelling units permitted within the parcel is
not exceeded. For example, the Dania Beach Land Use Plan does not
regulate whether a developer uses 100 acres of land designated for Low(5)
Residential density to build 500 single family homes or whether the same
100 acres are used to build a 500 unit high-rise structure, with the balance
of the land maintained as permanent open space. The distribution of units
will be determined by local zoning and land development regulations.
d. Dashed-Line Areas
iSome areas have been marked on the Future Land Use Plan Map by
dashed lines circumscribing their edges. For each of these areas, the
maximum overall density in dwelling units per acre is the number which
appears in the circle inside the dashed line. That number can be multiplied
by the number of acres inside the dashed line, including areas not
designated for residential use, to ascertain the maximum number of
dwelling units allowable within the dashed line. The dwelling units that
are permitted within areas circumscribed by a dashed line may only be
applied within the boundaries of the circumscribed area and may not be
transferred.
e. Flexibility Units
"Flexibility units" means the difference between the number of dwelling
units permitted within a flexibility zone by the Broward County Future
Land Use Plan Map (Series) and the number of dwelling units permitted
within the flexibility zone by the City's certified future land use plan map.
Since the Dania Beach local land use plan map may be more restrictive
than the Future Broward County Land Use Plan Map (Series) available
flexibility units may be utilized by the City to rearrange residential
densities.
Rearrangement of residential densities utilizing flexibility units shall be
administered within "flexibility zones."
10
• The boundaries of and rules governing "flexibility zones" and
rearrangement of residential densities therein will be subject to the
provisions of Policy 1.02.01 and Policy 13.01.10 of the Broward County
Land Use Plan and "Administrative Rules Document: Broward County
Land Use Plan."
The maximum number of dwelling units permitted in a flexibility zone by
the Dania Beach land use plan map shall not exceed the number of
dwelling units permitted in the flexibility zone by the Future Broward
County Land Use Plan Map (Series).
L Reserve Units
"Reserve units" mean additional permitted dwelling units equal up to two
percent (2%) of the total number of dwelling units permitted within a
flexibility zone by the Future Broward County Land Use Plan Map
(Series).
Allocation of reserve units will be administered within "flexibility zones"
and not require amendment of the land use plan. The boundaries of and
rules governing "flexibility zones" and allocation of reserve units therein
will be subject to the provisions of Policy 1.02.02 and Policy 13.01.10 of
the Broward County Land Use Plan and the "Administrative Rules
Document: Broward County Land Use Plan."
The number of reserve units in a flexibility zone will be fixed at the
adoption of the Future Broward County Land Use Plan Map (Series). The
number of reserve units assigned to a parcel designated for residential use
on the Dania Beach Land Use Plan Map may not exceed 100% of the
maximum number of dwelling units indicated for the parcel by the local
land use plan map. However, the land use plan, the zoning, and the
applicable land development regulations shall not permit any density
higher than fifty (50) dwelling units per gross acre.
g. Commercial Use
The areas designated for commercial use on the Future Land Use Plan
Map provide land area for business, office, retail, service and other
commercial enterprises which support the resident and tourist populations
of Dania Beach.
Uses permitted in areas designated commercial are as follows:
• Retail uses.
• Office and business uses.
• Wholesale, storage, light fabricating and warehouse uses, if deemed
appropriate by the local jurisdiction.
11
• Hotels, motels and similar lodging. Hotels, motels and similar lodging
in the Coastal High Hazard Area are permitted at a density limitation
of fifty (50) units per acre.
• Recreation and open space, cemeteries, and commercial recreation
uses.

allocation of two (2) reserve or flexibility units in accordance with the
Special Residential Facility provisions and policies for the application
of these units.
• Special Residential Facility Category (3) development as defined in the
Special Residential Facilities Permitted Uses subsection subject to the
allocation of reserve units or flexibility units in accordance with the.
Special Residential Facility provisions and policies for the application
of these units; each flexibility or reserve unit shall permit two (2)
sleeping rooms regardless of the number of kitchens or baths.
• • Non-residential agricultural uses
• Residential uses are permitted, without the need to amend the local
land use plan map, provided that the local government entity applies
flexibility or reserve units to the parcel and:
a. The residential floor area of mixed commercial/residential
structures does not exceed 50% of the total floor area of the
building; and/or
b. The first floor of mixed commercial/residential structures is
totally confined to commercial uses and/or
c. For parcels five (5) acres in size or less, free standing multi-
family residential uses are permitted; within areas designated
on the .County Plan as Urban Infill, Urban Redevelopment or
Downtown Revitalization Areas or Chapter 163
Redevelopment Areas, free standing multi-family residential
uses are permitted on parcels ten (10) acres in size or less;
and/or
d. For mixed commercial/residential developments greater than
five (5) acres in size (or 10 acres within areas designated on the
County plan as Urban Infill, Urban Redevelopment or
Downtown Revitalization Areas or Chapter 163
Redevelopment Areas) free standing multi-family residential
uses are permitted provided that the gross residential acreage
does not exceed five (5) acres (10 acres within areas designated
12
on the County Plan as Urban Infill, Urban Redevelopment, or
Downtown Revitalization Areas or Chapter 163
Redevelopment Areas) or 40% of the total gross acreage of the
commercially designated parcel, whichever is greater, and that
the entire mixed commercial/residential development be
governed by specific zoning regulations that establish criteria
to ensure proper integration and compatibility of land uses
within and surrounding the development; and/or
e. Residential units within the same structure as commercial uses
for the owner, manager or caretaker of the commercial uses
may be located in areas designated commercial without the
application of flexibility units or reserve units.
• Transportation, communications facilities; utilities.
h. Downtown Development District (D. D. D.) Commercial Use
The areas designated for D.D.D. commercial on the land use plan provide
for business, office, retail, and service activities appropriate for
development and redevelopment of the Dania Beach Central Business
District. Commercial uses shall be encouraged through flexible
development incentives designed to encourage tax-intensive uses
consistent with redevelopment of the Dania Beach Retail Core.
. Uses permitted in areas designated D.D.D. commercial are as follows:
• Retail uses.
• Designer Showroom Facilities.
• Office and business uses.
• Wholesale, storage, light fabricating and warehouse uses, if deemed

long as the location of these uses do not preclude or adversely affect
the future use of surrounding areas for employment center use. Said
uses are subject to the review and approval requirements of Policy
13.01.10 of the Broward County Land Use Plan.
18
i
m. Recreation and Open Space Use
The primary intent of the recreation and open space category is to
accommodate recreation and open space uses to serve public recreation
needs. In general, land uses within this category are low intensity in
character with a minimum of impervious surface coverage and retain as
much natural vegetation and landscape as possible.
Areas designated as recreation and open space on the Future Land Use
Plan Map include existing public and private park sites and existing
cemetery sites intended to remain as permanent open space.
Those uses permitted in areas designated recreation and open space are as
follows:

flexibility units in accordance with the Special Residential Facilities
Provisions each flexibility or reserve unit shall permit two (2) sleeping
rooms regardless of the number of kitchens or baths.
• Penal, correctional, and re-entry facilities are prohibited.
o. Transportation Use
Existing airports, Port Everglades, and existing and proposed expressways
are designated transportation on the Future Land Use Plan Map. Those
uses permitted in areas designated transportation are as follows.
1. Port Everglades Transportation Area
Shipping, warehousing, and, with the exception of residential uses, all
other uses which may be permitted by the City of Dania Beach which
• are consistent with tourism, international trade, and marine commerce.
2. Air Transportation Areas
Airports and related facilities, which are compatible with existing
residential areas and Dania Beach land uses, and designed primarily to
serve the needs of airport users and airport employees, airport and
aircraft operation and maintenance facilities, cargo distribution
terminals, transit warehousing, other compatible uses, and those land
uses, except permanent residences, permitted in the recreation and
open space, commercial recreation and agricultural land use categories.
3. Expressways
Uses of an impermanent nature such as agriculture, nurseries, grazing,
non-required parking, open storage and parks are permitted in
proposed expressways. Such provisions are intended to provide owners
of property within proposed expressways with limited uses that do not
interfere with the long-term pubic goal of acquiring rights-of-way for
expressway purposes. No principal building may be permitted, nor
may any land use which impedes the future construction for an
expressway be allowed.
Proposed expressways shall have an underlying residential land use
designation unless bordered on both sides by non-residential land use
• designations. The underlying density credited to the expressway shall
be equal to the density of the adjacent residential land use designation.
In cases where the proposed expressway is bordered by residential land
20
use designations of different densities, the adjacent density shall be
residential land use designations of different densities, the adjacent
density shall apply up to the mid-point of the right-of-way. Residential
units may not be constructed within the proposed expressway.
However, the densities accruing to the proposed expressway may be
transferred to adjacent parcels if the owner dedicates the right-of-way
to a governmental agency for expressway uses.
If a formal determination has been made by the Broward County Board
of County Commissioners that the proposed expressway will not be
constructed, the land uses permitted within the expressway corridor
shall be those permitted by the adjacent Land use designation as
determined by the appropriate local government entity .through the
Broward Planning Council (re) certification process.
p. Utilities Use
Utilities are designated on the Future Land Use Plan Map to ensure the
availability of land necessary to provide an adequate level of utility service
to meet the current and future needs of Dania Beach.
Utilities are also allowed in areas designated residential, commercial,
office park, industrial, and employment center.
Uses permitted in areas designated utilities are as follows:
• Utilities.
• Other uses determined to be ancillary to the primary uses described in
above.
The following uses may also be permitted in the areas designated utilities
as long as the location of these uses does not preclude or adversely affect
the future use of the surrounding areas for utility facilities:
• Recreation and open space uses.
• Non-residential agricultural uses.
• Communication facilities.
q. Communication Facilities
Communication facilities such as television and radio stations and relay
structures and telephone facilities are not specifically designated on the

• Commercial.
• Industrial.
• Office Park.
• Employment Center.
21
r. Special Residential Facilities
The Broward County Land Use Plan defines categories of Special
Residential Facilities, in accordance with Broward County Ordinance 85-
92, for the purpose of determining permitted locations and density
standards.
Special Residential Facilities development such as group homes and foster
care facilities are defined by category type below and are subject when
applicable, to the Special Residential Facilities provisions and allocation
of reserve, flexibility, or bonus sleeping rooms. Dania Beach may permit a
maximum of one hundred (100) "bonus" sleeping rooms consistent with
Broward County Ordinance 85-92, that are permanently dedicated to
Special Residential use without allocating density.
Special residential facilities are not specifically designated on the Future
Land Use Plan Map as a separate land use category. Special residential
facilities are permitted within limitations as stated in the Permitted Uses
section of this plan in the following land use categories:
• Residential.
• Commercial.
• Office Park.
• Community Facilities.
Broward County does not encourage local governments to locate special
residential facilities in commercial, office park or community facilities
areas. Special residential facilities should be integrated into residential
neighborhoods. However, due to the need to locate special residential
facilities, the Broward County Land Use Plan recognizes that, in some
instances, local governments may have need to allocate special residential
facilities in these areas.
Definitions of Special Residential Facilities Categories:
Category (1) means:
A housing facility which is licensed by the State of Florida for no more
than eight (8) individuals who require treatment, care, rehabilitation or
education. The facility is usually referred to as a group home. This
includes individuals who are elderly, dependent children, physically
disabled, developmentally disabled or individuals not overtly of harm to
themselves or others. The facility provides a family living environment
including supervision and care necessary to meet the physical, emotional
and social needs of the individuals. It may or may not provide education or
training. There may be more than one kitchen within the housing facility.
There may be more than one Special Residential Facility Category (1)
development on a parcel.
22
Category (2) means:
A housing facility which is licensed by the State of Florida for nine (9) to
sixteen (16) non-elderly individuals who require treatment, care,
rehabilitation or education. This includes individuals who are dependent
children, physically disabled, developmentally disabled or individuals not
overtly of harm to themselves or others. The facility provides a family
living environment including supervision and care necessary to meet the
physical, emotional and social needs of the individuals. It may or may not
provide education or training. There may be more than one kitchen within
the housing facility. There may be more than one Special Facility Category
(2) development on a parcel.
Category (3) means:
• Any housing facility licensed by the State of Florida for more than
sixteen (16) non-elderly individuals who require treatment, care,
rehabilitation or education. This includes individuals who are
dependent children, physically disabled, developmentally disabled or
individuals not overtly of harm to themselves or others;
• Any housing facility licensed by the State of Florida for more than
eight(8) unrelated elderly individuals;
• Governmentally subsidized housing facilities entirely devoted to care
of the elderly, dependent children, the physically handicapped,
developmentally disabled or individuals not overtly of harm to
themselves or others;
• Any non-for-profit housing facility for unrelated elderly individuals;
• Any housing facility which provides a life-care environment. A life—
care environment shall include, but is not limited to, creation of a life
estate in the facility itself and provision of off-site or on-site medical
care.
s. Conservation Use:
Conservation areas are designated on the Future Land Use Plan Map to
protect natural reservations.
1. Structures such as dikes, berms, levees, canals, ditches, locks, gates,
pumping stations, monitoring facilities used for flood control,
drainage, water quality preservation/enhancement, environmental
protection, mosquito control, fire control and the storage and
conservation of water.
2. Active outdoor recreation uses such as fishing and boating, pursuant to
State and Federal regulations.
3. Boat ramps and docks.
23
4. Camping facilities, if determined to be appropriate by the local
jurisdiction.
5. Passive outdoor recreational uses such as wildlife sanctuaries and
feeding stations, nature centers and trails, outdoor research stations and
walkways.
Natural Reservations
Natural Reservations are designated for conservation use on the Future
Land Use Plan Map (Series) and include public lands which are
conservation areas operated by contractual agreement with or managed by
a federal, state, regional, local government or non-profit agencies.
Secret Woods Nature Center is a Natural Reservation designated for
conservation use on the Future Land Use Plan Map (Series).
Those uses permitted in Natural Reservation areas designated conservation
are as follows:
1. Passive outdoor recreational uses such as wildlife sanctuaries and
feeding stations, nature centers and trails, outdoor research stations and
walkways.
2. Uses which do not impair the natural environment or disturb the
® natural ecosystem of the area and which are not in conflict with any
applicable contractual agreement or management policies of the
federal, state, regional, county, municipal, or non-profit agency which
manages the Natural Reservation.
While the City of Dania Beach historically was a farming community, the
expansion in development of Broward County and the intrusion of salt water has
rendered the property to be unsuitable for future farming activities. Accordingly
no agricultural uses have been indicated on the Land Use Plan. Also, while there
are a significant number of park and recreational lands identified on the Plan there
are no public ownerships which are being considered for conservation designation
and accordingly no conservation designation is indicated on the Future Land Use
Map. Education, public buildings and grounds and other public facilities have
already been designated as Community Facilities on the Land Use Map. While
there are designated historical properties within the City of Dania Beach there is
no designated historical district within the City of Dania Beach.
D. Land Needs
To support the Year 2005 projections of approximately 10,600 units and Year 2010
projections of approximately 11,600 units within the community, the associated land need
requirements are anticipated to be approximately 36 and 145 acres, respectively. This is
established utilizing the average new starts for housing within the community of about 90
per year and recognizes the mix of housing from the period of 1988 to 1997 which
reflects a substantial number of multi-family permits (51%) against single family permit
issuance of about 38%.
24
E. Redevelopment
The City of Dania Beach is a target area as identified in the Broward County
Redevelopment Plan -Florida Statues 163. The Redevelopment Plan identifies the
existing physical, social-economic and development conditions within the target area.
The boundaries of the target area generally lie west of U.S. 1, south of Old Griffin Road,
east of the C-10 Canal and north of the Sheridan Street. The 163 plan addresses the need
for redevelopment within this area including renewal of blighted areas and the
elimination or reduction of uses inconsistent with the community's character.
In addition, the City of Dania Beach is fortunate to have significant opportunities for
redevelopment within the community. Many of these have been identified in a recent
study prepared by the City of Dania Beach. These types of redevelopment activities
would be consistent with the Urban Infill amendments and Eastward Ho movements
currently ongoing in Southern Florida, and particularly Broward County. The City will
develop land development regulations that will be consistent with the permitted uses of
the land use plan as it speaks to redevelopment and encouraging redevelopment in the
City.
F. Flood Prone Areas
The City of Dania Beach has limited areas which are flood prone and any development or
redevelopment within these areas would have to conform to the flood insurance rate
maps. The City fully subscribes with the FEMA maps and all development must conform
with those standards.
G. Definitions
Heavy Industrial. Business whose activities are predominantly connected with
manufacturing, assembling, processing, or storage, which business is not included within
the definition of Light Industrial or Marine Industrial. If a particular operation or use
cannot be classified as a Light Industrial or Heavy Industrial, it shall be classified as
Heavy Industrial. Heavy Industrial Uses can have outdoor operations or storage, and are
not limited to the small machine parts, communications, and electronic businesses.
Heavy industrial uses will also include tractor trailer truck operations and other heavy
traffic generator type uses.
Hotel. A building or part thereof, in which rental sleeping rooms are offered to the
public where all charges for staying at the hotel (e.g. for food, lodging, and accessory
services) are paid for by the room renter. Hotels maintain an inner lobby through which
all occupants must pass to gain access. Hotel sleeping rooms are accessed solely through
interior hallways, even when such units are on ground floors. Frequently guests stay
more than one (1) night and typically hotels have amenities that cater to longer staying
guests such as exercise rooms, spas, restaurants, meeting rooms, ballrooms, convention
facilities, reading areas, and limited shopping areas. Hotels cater to transient occupancy,
and may have limited kitchenette facilities (i.e., microwave, coffee maker, small sink,
miniature refrigerator) for use by the occupants in rooms. Two hotel rooms are
equivalent to one residential unit.
•
25
Light Industrial Use. Business activity which is predominantly connected with
assembling or storage of small machine parts, electronics, and communications
equipment where all activities are carried on within an enclosed building, and deliveries
and pickups are made from enclosed trucks or vans. Light industrial operations are
typically of a size, scale and character which are virtually indistinguishable from
operations conducted in office buildings, commercial buildings and commercial-office
parks and complexes. The equipment used in the light industrial manufacturing process
do not typically contemplate large machines, generate significant emissions of toxic or
regulated gases, or the use of bulk chemical combinations (i.e. light industrial buildings
typically do not have smokestacks and on-site bulk chemical mixing is not contemplated).
Light Industrial business operations are not objectionable because of noise, heavy truck
traffic, fumes, vibration, glare, or other criteria which would be incompatible with
residential or upscale commercial. Emphasis is primarily related to an activity other than
manufacturing.
Marine Industrial. Marine industrial uses are designed to accommodate recreational
marine and marine-related industries which, when necessary (for example, as a result of
the size of the boat or yacht) and allowed, may take place outside of a building. Included
are light industrial and research uses that are conducted within completely enclosed
buildings and which have limited impact outside of buildings. Marine Industrial uses
include: marinas; boat and yacht dealers and showrooms; boat and yacht brokers; repair
and building of boats, yachts, and marine engines and equipment; sail making and repair;
storage, repair, and building of marine parts and accessories; boat and yacht cleaning,
maintenance, and painting; and, transportation and ticketing facilities.
Motel. A building, or series of buildings, being attached, semi-detached, or detached, in
which rental sleeping rooms are offered to the public where all charges for staying at the
motel (e.g. for food, lodging, and accessory services) are paid for by the room renter, and
where each unit has convenient exterior access to a parking space for the use of the unit's
occupants. Access to sleeping rooms is from the exterior of the building as opposed to
through the interior. The rental sleeping rooms, with the exception of a dwelling unit for
the manager or caretaker, are devoted predominantly to the use of motor vehicle traveling
transients who typically stay one night. These units may have limited kitchenette
facilities (i.e., microwave, coffee maker, small sink, miniature refrigerator) for use by the
occupants in rooms. Two motel sleeping rooms are equivalent to one residential unit.
Penal Correctional, and Re-Entry Facilities. The following are not considered a "hotel"
or "motel, or a "police protective facility," or a "Community Facility", and instead, are
hereby defined as being "Penal, Correctional, and Re-Entry Facilities, regardless of
whether the uses are publicly, privately or charitably owned, operated, or subsidized:
jails, correctional facilities, detention facilities, prison release facilities, convict or
prisoner rehabilitation or societal re-introduction facilities (e.g. "halfway houses",
supervised or structured living, working, or educational facilities), or facilities where
residents are not confined or restrained but are free to leave the facility for work or
personal needs subject to operative rules controlling residency on the premises and that
provide community- based treatment to persons referred by the Federal Bureau of Prisons,
a State Department of Corrections, or like federal or state agency, who need re-entry into
the community, including drug and alcohol counseling and job placement assistance.
Solid waste facilities. The term "solid waste facilities" means structures or systems
designed for the storage, collection, processing, recycling or disposal of solid waste,
including hazardous waste, industrial waste, construction and demolition waste and
biomedical waste.
26
® The term includes processing plants, recycling plants, disposal yards, landfills (of any
class), compost areas (excluding residential backyard composting), composting facilities,
construction and demolition debris recycling areas, construction and demolition debris
recycling facilities, materials recovery facilities, monofills, solid waste combustors, solid
waste disposal facilities, solid waste management facilities, tire recycling areas or
facilities, volume reduction plants, waste tire collection centers, waste tire collectors,
waste tire processing facilities, and waste tire sites. See F. A. C. s. 62-701 for the
definitions of the foregoing terms.
Utilities. The term "Utilities" means those facilities needed to serve or which constitute a
public or private utility, limited to the following: lines, valves, wells, water treatment
plants, and injection wells which comprise a water service utility needed to serve Dania
Beach citizens; gravity mains, force mains, manholes, lift stations, monitoring stations,
needed to serve Dania Beach residents; electrical lines, poles, substations and
transmission facilities which comprise an electric power utility needed to service Dania
Beach residents; lines, valves, and equipment which comprise a liquid gas utility
infrastructure needed to serve Dania Beach residents; lines, switching facilities, poles,
communications towers, antennas and other appurtenances for telephone utility
infrastructure to service Dania Beach residents; and lines, hub facilities, and satellite earth
station receiving facilities, and other appurtenances necessary to comprise a cable
television utility to service Dania Beach residents. Unless expressly indicated within a
Future Land Use Element, the word "utilities" will not include plants for electric, gas, or
telephone service, or solid waste facilities.
• IV. REQUIREMENTS FOR FUTURE LAND USE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND

STAFF REPORT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT
TO: Ivan Pato, City Manager
FROM: Laurence Leeds, AICP, Director
Growth Management Department
SUBJECT: Future Land Use Element
DATE: September 11, 2001
On September 12, 2001, the City Commission transmitted the Amended Future Land Use
Element of the City Comprehensive Plan (attached) to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs. The Department of Community Affairs waived their right to comment on
the Element, effectively approving the Element as submitted.
Staff is now requesting the City Commission formally adopt the Future Land Use Element.
Again, there have been no changes since the City Commission first reviewed the Element in
September of this year.
Permitted Uses for the City of Dania Beach Land Use Element: Most of the
amendments are comprised of revisions to the list of"Permitted Uses". Some amendments
allow the City Commission to add flex or reserve dwelling units in commercial areas
(including Downtown) without amending the Future Land Use Map. Other amendments
clarify existing language (i.e. hotel/motel density) or are required by the Broward County
Planning Council (ie. new "Conservation Use" language).
The listing of a use in the Future Land Use Element does not mandate it be allowed in the
Zoning Code. A zoning designation ("C-2") can generally be more restrictive than the
corresponding land use designation ("Commercial").
Goals, Objectives, or Policies: The remaining amendments include new goals, objectives,
or policies required by the Broward County Planning Council to demonstrate consistency
with the Broward County Land Use Plan. The City has little or no discretion in modifying the
language recommended by Planning Council staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval.
PLANNING AND ZONING ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION Approval.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS RECOMMENDATION Approval.

South Florida Regional Planning Council or any affected person regarding the proposed amendment.
