i
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Proposed
Amendment to Text of City of Dania Zoning Ordinance, adding a
classification for Adult Residential Care Facilities within +
RM-2 Districts.
i
Wilson C. Atkinson, III , Attorney, explained that the
proposed zoning code text change relating to permitting adult
congregate living facilities (A.C.L.F. ) in RM-2 districts in
Dania is being submitted in conjunction with his clients'
rezoning request (C-2 to RM-2 ) , land use plan amendment and i
land use flex change for property located on Sheridan Street
between SE 2nd Avenue and SE 5th Avenue ( approximately five
acres) .
i
Mr. Atkinson nresented and described in detail the plans for ?
the construction of a $9 million A.C.L.F. rental facility
designed for the upper middle and high income range of
people, average age of 80 , and ambulatory only. He pointed
out that it is not to be a nursing home, and will contain a
central dining area serving two meals a day, library reading
room, arts & crafts and billiards rooms , social director' s
room, doctor' s office, nurse' s office (staffed) , tenants'
beauty and sundry shops , bath & sauna , outside pool & spa ,
administration offices and transportation/shuttle facilities.
The Commissioners raised questions regarding rental lease
forms, tenant qualifications, and availability and demand for
this type of facility . Mr. Atkinson suggested lease form
submittal to the City and offered to furnish copies of
economic studies made .
Mr. Atkinson explained that at the present time, the County
will not permit this use in a commercial land use designation,
and that the County is preparing an ordinance addressing
A.C.L.F. in a commercial area, but since the ordinance is
attempting to encompass every aspect of elderly care, it will
take another 6 to 9 months to complete. He suggested that if
the City Commission endorses this type of project in the 5 .
specified location, he will continue to work with Staff to
request the City to change the land use for the five acres to
residential, rezone to RM-2 and amend the zoning code text to
permit A.C.L.F. in RM-2 districts in Dania.

Larry Leeds, City Planner, detailed the terms of the zoning
code text change ordinance, establishing certain criteria in
terms of lot size , lot width and location abutting certain
roads thereby limiting location. Mr. Leeds commented that
the alternative would be to treat the proposal as a special
exception. He also pointed out that the parking standard
i
submitted has not yet been evaluated by Staff.
Richard Gloss , Code Enforcement Officer, commented on the
concept of this type of facility and on the practical aspects
of the proposed ordinance as applied to the City of Dania.
The workshop meeting was then adjourned.
