RE: CITY OF DANIA EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT
Dear Ken:
Attached please find the revisions to the Evaluation and Appraisal Report approved by
Resolution by the City Commission at its September 2, 1997 meeting. These revisions
incorporate the changes outlined in my June 10, 1997 letter, (copy attached), as well as
some additions/corrections the Commission made at its September 2, 1997. The following
will provide an outline of the Commission's revisions:

expanded right-of-way which is anticipated to be used
by the City for drainage.
Adopted Objectives, I Additional bullet that further demonstrates
Comparisons/Results compliance with Objective II.
Adopted Objectives, 10 The second bullet under Object III has been revised to
Comparisons/Results indicate accurately that the implementation of the
project has been initiated.
Adopted Objectives, 10 Objective VI: the first bullet has been revised to
Comparisons/Results reflect that the wellfields will not be abandoned and
this is consistent with other text changes previously
included in the EAR as found under Potable Water -
11. Existing Conditions (page 10.). However, the
bullet is still consistent as it does reduce the threat of
salt water intrusion because there is reduced demand
on the existing wells.
} Adopted Objectives, 21 An additional bullet has been added to further enhance
Comparisons/Results the meeting of this Objective VI.
Problems of Development 2 The Commission reviewed in some detail this
previously provided review of some problems of
development in the annexed area. It is their belief that
they intend to preserve the residential areas via the
compatibility analysis. It is not likely that significant
conflicts will occur. This would relate to items a. and
b. As it relates to item c., Fire Service has already
been developed in the area via the construction of a
fire station to serve the western community.
Unforeseen/Unanticipated 1-2 Item B. has been reworded.

I. DATA REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.007(1)(a)(b)&(c)]
A. Trafficways Plan
The roads identified on the City of Dania's Future Land Use Plan
map and on the Traffic and Circulation Plan are consistent with
those found on the Broward County Trafficways Plan. This
consistency with County requirements will be maintained as
follows:
Expressways(Limited Access)
1. Interstate 95 (1-95)
Interstate 95 running along Dania's western edge traverses
a primarily industrial and vacant area of the City.
2. Port Expressway (1-595)
? The Port Expressway will have minimal direct effect on the
community since it runs along the northern City limits.
Principal and Minor Arterials
1. Federal Highway (U.S. 1)
Federal Highway connects the communities north of Dania
with those lying to the south.
2. N.W. / N.E. 10th Street
N.W. / N.E. 10th Street connects AWntesh Mead Eller Drive
and Federal Highway with 1-95 and points west.
3. Sheridan Street
Sheridan Street, a principal east-west arterial, serves as the
boundary between Dania and Hollywood.

hazard area, there is no need to consider the relocation or
structural modification of the limited number of structures
within the high hazard area. Also, 100% of the area is
already under public ownership.
D. Marina Siting [9J-5.012(4)]
1. Dania does not participate in a County wide marina siting
plan.
2. Port Master Plan has been prepared by the Port Everglades
Authority and that entity will evaluate that document.

OBJECTIVE I.
Within one (1) year of transmittal of the Plan to Florida Department of
Community Affairs, land development regulations shall be developed which
promote orderly growth, development and placement of land uses which will
encourage a mix of residential types and provide good quality of life for the
residents of the City of Dania. -
• The Dania Comprehensive Plan was adopted 4111189
• On 2127190, the Dania City Commission approved ordinances 12-90 &
13-90 which enacted concurrency for growth and development,
and updated the existing LDR's of the City to enhance the quality of
growth and development.
• The objective was met.
OBJECTIVE 11.
Land development regulations will be developed which will insure that future
land use amendments will only be permitted provided an analysis
demonstrates that the soils, topography, natural resources and availability of
the services are in place within one (1) year of the transmittal of the
Comprehensive Plan to the Florida Department of Community Affairs.
i
• Ordinance 12-90 & 13-90 plus the implementation of a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment checklist insure an analysis of an amendment's
impacticompatibility with services.
• These areas were adopted/mplemented 2127190 less than one year
after the 4111189 Comprehensive Plan adoption.
• A storm water retention recharge area is being developed along
Southeast 5'h Avenue corridor, adjacent to the existing salt
marsh.
• The objective was met.
OBJECTIVE III.
Identify available land suitable for the provision of community facilities to
support the existing projected population by 1991.
• The available community facility land in 1987 comprised of 231 acres.
• The available community facility land in 1995 comprised of 276 acres
• This results in a net increase of 45 acres of community facility land
within the community. The difference is identified in the future land use
section of the EAR.
Revised September 3, 1997

OBJECTIVE III.
Implement drainage improvements in the southeast area of the City. s
• The City has developed a drainage study.
'est has not been
imomente6 The implementation of the project has been initiated.
• The objective has not been met
• The plan amendment section will address necessary changes to meet this
objective. This amendment will include a City-wide study.
OBJECTIVE IV.
Work with Broward County and South Florida Regional Planning Council to
implement drainage rules and criteria. c
• The City continues to work with Broward County and SFRPC to implement
drainage rules and criteria of those jurisdictions and the SFWMD. This
includes the environmental resource licensing by FDEP.
• The objective has been met.
OBJECTIVE V.
Maximize water management systems, rules and regulations to discourage
urban sprawl.
The Comprehensive Plan and land development regulations enacted on
2127190 require compliance with all applicable water management rules and
regulations to discourage urban sprawl.

• The objective has been met.
OBJECTIVE VI.
The City shall try to discourage the further spread of salt water intrusion.
• The City, to the greatest extent possible, discourages the spread of salt water
intrusion via its Comprehensive Plan and land development regulations.
However, since Dania is an East Broward coastal city, regional influences are
significant as it relates to salt water intrusion and the majority of the City has
been affected by salt water intrusion for many years. Accordingly, the City
has subscribed to the Broward County Regional System
wiY abandea its which reduces the demand on the existing wells, thereby
reducing the threat of salt water intrusion.
• The objective has been met.

I. PROBLEMS
A. FORT LAUDERDALE/HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
EXPANSION
The proposed runway extension for the south runway of the Ft.
Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport will have significant
social and economic impacts to the City of Dania. The acquisition
program includes 97 acres that was slated for employment-based
land uses to supply a significant tax base for the City of Dania.
This property was acquired by Broward County in 1995 and was
removed from the tax rolls; therefore, it will no longer generate tax
revenues for the City. Further, the City made significant
improvements to the water, sewer and roads in this area and that
investment will also be lost to the City of Dania.
j The runway extension will also have impacts to the Melaleuca Isles
neighborhood with the increased frequency of airport take-offs and
landings resulting in increased noise in that neighborhood. There
is great concern that the runway extension will have a diminution in
the value of the properties in that area which would further affect
the tax base of the City.
In addition to the runway extension acquisition, Broward County
has also acquired the Trails End Mobile Home Park, which was
slated for future commercial and industrial use on the City's land
use plan. This is another area of tax base loss which comprises a
total of approximately 15 acres of land.

aet-be appmpriate- The extension of NW 10'h Street into Port
Everglades is problematic as to whether it is a positive step
for either Dania, its related Seaport and International Airport.
The Seaport has opposed it in the past due to cargo security
considerations, and the Airport has expressed concerns over
mixing heavy industrial traffic with its terminal traffic.
For Dania our northern residential communities could be
negatively impacted as well as our US 1 corridor being
overloaded by cut through south bound industrial traffic by
passing the 1-595 interstate corridor connector.
II. OPPORTUNITIES
A. ANNEXATION AREA
The City of Dania annexed a large, approximately two square-mile
area generally west of Ravenswood Road, since the adoption of
the comprehensive plan. Approximately 4,000 people reside in this
area, and it also includes a variety of industrial and commercial
based activities. This is a large area of expansion to the
community and will be addressed in the updated comprehensive
plan.
B. BASS PRO
Recently the Bass Pro Corporation has selected Dania for the
development of a significant retail and exposition based facility,
highlighting the equipment and sales provided by the company.
This facility will have significant socio-economic impacts to the
community and will provide numerous employment opportunities,
as well as a significant tax base for the community. This
development is consistent with the comprehensive plan; however,
it represents a significant opportunity as Dania continues to grow
and develop.

RE: Dania Evaluation And Appraisal Report
)
Dear Mr. Metcalf:
Following our most recent conversation, we conducted additional research and analysis
related to the issues raised in the Department's letter dated October 31, 1996 concerning
the Dania EAR. We are proposing several modifications to the adopted EAR based on
the data that is readily available. Further analysis and revisions to the EAR required to
address the Department's comments would require a substantial amount of effort and
would further delay the EAR process.
The revisions that we are proposing are attached hereto. I will be contacting you latter
this week to discuss these revision.

L Text to be added to the PLANAMENDMENTS Section of the adopted EAR
D. UPDATE DATA/ANALYSIS
To be added to this section: The five (5) and ten (10) year population
projections that will be used in the plan update are 15,019 (year 2000) and
16,214 (year 2005). These projects will be utilized to determine the level
of service standards and infrastructure needs for the community.
F. ICE AND TRANSPORTATION UPDATE
The City recognizes that the new requirements for the transportation
element focus on linking land use and transportation planning processes as
well as placing a strong emphasis on transit facilities. Broward County is
responsible for regional roads in the area as well as the provision of transit
facilities. At this time the County is considering the establishment of a
regional transit authority along with Dade and Palm Beach Counties.
During the plan update, the City will coordinate with Broward County in
order to develop a local transportation element that is consistent with the
County's efforts. Coordination mechanisms such as the MPO and TCC are
currently in place and will be utilized during the plan update process.
The City will also incorporate any Eastward Ho related land use plan
amendments that are determined to be appropriate for the City. The City's
land use element currently incorporates several provisions that promote
mixed land uses. Plan amendments are anticipated to enhance these
provisions and encourage developments that can support transit service.
G. COASTAL MANAGMENT
Revisions to Rule 9J-5 modified the definition of coastal high hazard area
to include those areas located in the evacuation zone for a Category 1
Hurricane. There is no distinction between the category 1 and 2 hurricane
evacuation zones within the City of Dania. In Dania, the newly defined
Coastal High Hazard Area includes all of the land area located east of SE 5
Avenue/14 Avenue. The coastal high hazard area as identified in the
current plan is limited to the land located east of AIA. As a result of this
change in definition, plan amendments will be required to add
approximately 407 acres to the coastal high hazard area. Of the 173 acres
of vacant land added to the coastal high hazard area only 26 acres (15%)
are developable. The remaining acreage has been purchased by the public
for preservation or will be restricted for development based on Broward
County Department of Natural Resource Protection regulations due to the
existence of wetlands. Public investment in the newly defined coastal high
hazard area is limited to roadways, bridges and utility lines. There are no
public utility plants, public service buildings or hospitals located within the
coastal high hazard area.
The City has not met its objective to prepare a post disaster redevelopment
plan by 1991. This objective will be reestablished during the plan
amendment process. Broward County is embarking on a county-wide post
disaster redevelopment plan and the City anticipates coordinating its post
disaster redevelopment planning efforts with that of the County. Existing
intergovernmental coordination mechanisms such as the League of Cities
Technical Advisory Committee will be used to facilitate coordination of
these planning efforts. Due to the limited public facilities in the coastal
high hazard area it is not anticipated that major policy changes will be
required as a result of the post-disaster redevelopment planning efforts.
However, following a complete analysis of the existing improvements in
the area and any damage due to previous storms, the City will evaluate the
need to additional policies to protect the coastal high hazard area.
H. NEW DEFINITIONS
Several new or revised definitions have been incorporated in Rule 9J-5.
The need for amendments to the plan related to the new definition of
coastal high hazard area is discussed above. The term urban sprawl is
anticipated to have a significant impact on many communities. However,
Dania is located in the eastern, developed portion of Broward County. The
corporate limits for the city do not extend west of SR 7. In addition, all of
the land area in the City is located within the Broward County Urban Infill
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area. Therefore, the new
definition for urban sprawl will not impact the City of Dania.
I. HOUSING ELEMENT
Amendments to Rule 9J-5 require that local governments address the
housing needs of very low income households. Of the vacant land in the
City approximately 207 acres is designated residential on the land use plan.
Over 40 % of this residential, vacant land is designated for densities of 10
dwelling units per acre or greater. Therefore, additional land area exists to
accommodate residential units for very low income households. In
addition, approximately one-half of the existing dwelling units are
comprised of multi-family units and mobile homes. 1990 Census data also
indicates that approximately 25% of the housing stock in the City of Dania
is valued below $60,000 as compared to 13% countywide. Finally the
median value of dwelling units in the City is $84,600 which is almost
$7,000 less than the countywide median.
Further analysis is required in order to determine if plan amendments are
required to meet the housing needs of very low income households.
However, readily available data indicates that the City of Dania currently
provides a substantial amount of affordable housing.
II. Text to be added to paragraph LA. on page 6 of SANITARY SEWER
SUBELEMENT CONDITIONS SECTION
The only area served by septic tanks in the City of Dania service area is
known as Melaleuca Isles which encompasses approximately 102 acres and
367 dwelling units which translates to a density of less than (4) four
dwelling units per acre. This density does not exceed the maximum density
for septic tanks as specified by State regulations. In addition, the area is
fully developed at this time and no additional septic tanks are anticipated.
The Broward County Health Unit is responsible for permitting septic tanks.
At this time, representatives of the Broward County Health Unit are not
aware of any problems related to the existence of septic tanks in the City.
Specifically, no ground water problems linked to the existence of septic
tanks are known to exist. Ground water quality data is not collected by the
City or the Broward County Health Unit.
M. Text to be added to paragraph IL, on page 9 of DRAINAGNE AND
NATURAL GROUND RECHARGE SUBELEMENT CONDITIONS
SECTION
The City retained a consulting engineering firm to complete a City-wide
assessment of the existing drainage system. The report identified
recommended improvements for the City's system. In addition, the City
recently had a city-wide special assessment for maintenance and
improvements.

Dania, Florida 33004
Dear Mayor Hyde:
The Department of Community Affairs has completed its review of the revised Dania Evaluation and
Appraisal Report(EAR), which the Department received on September 11, 1997. The Department has
detem¢ned that the EAR is"sufficient"as defined in Subsection 163.3191(9), F.S. The City may now
proceed with the adoption of amendments, including amendments unrelated to the EAR Pursuant to Section
163.3191(4),the City must adopt EAR-based amendments within one year from the adoption date of the
revised EAR Therefore,the City must adopt the EAR-based amendments by September 2, 1998. The
Department is authorized to grant one,six-month extension for good and sufficient cause should the City
require additional time.
The adopted EAR includes numerous recommendations for the adoption of the EAR-based
amendmen including amendments to respond to changes in statutory and rule requirements, to strengthen
and clarify existing plan provisions,and to complete studies relating to water quality, septic tanks, and
stormwater needs. In particular, we would like to emphasize the need for the City to coordinate with Broward
County, the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Florida Department of Transportation in preparing
the Transportation Element. Similarly,the preparation of the Post Disaster Redevelopment Plan will require
significant coordination with Broward County. Department staff are available to provide technical assistance
as the City prepares the amendments.
The Department appreciates the cooperation of the City and your consultant in completing the
revisions to the adopted EAR If you have any questions or concerns,you may contact Ken Metcalf,

FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
CONDITIONS AT ADOPTION
I. EXISTING LAND USE DATA REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.006(1)(c)]
I The City of Dania consists of approximately 5 square miles (3,000 acres)
and includes a portion of ocean front in the east disconnected from the
i balance of the City. Dania is situated south of Fort Lauderdale; north of
Hollywood and east of an Unincorporated Area.
Approximately 65% of the City is in a built condition. Table I identifies the
existing land uses within the City as of 1987 and Table II provides the
existing land uses in further detail by flexibility zone.
A. Vacant Land
Vacant land consists of almost 1,000 acres. The majority of the
vacant land is occurring in three parts of the City. The western
i portion of the community consists primarily of industrially designated
land. East of the airport industrially oriented uses are permitted and
the southeastern part of the City contains residentially designated
lands.
I
B. Population Projections
The City utilizes the population projections developed by the
I
Broward County Office of Planning as follows:
1988 1993 2010
I
Resident 11,951 12,039 12,542
Seasonal 1,182 1,170 1,217
II. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.006(2)]
A. Available Facilities [9J-5.006(2)(a)]
1. Traffic Circulation
The City of Dania is transected by a variety of federal, state and
county highways. This series of roadway systems handles the
1 ,
A
I --
majority of total traffic demand within the City while only a small
portion uses collector and local streets.
There are no problems or deficiencies on the local roadway
system at the present time.
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. The City maintains an
adequate level of service for the existing and committed
development within the City.
3. Solid Waste
The City's solid waste disposal is presently handled through a
private hauler and is disposed at the Waste Management, Inc.
landfill located at the northeast corner of the Florida Turnpike
and Sample Road in north Broward County. The City is
entering into a contract with Reuter, Inc. to provide future 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 and committed development
within the community.
4. Drainage
The drainage system within the City of Dania is composed of
canals and lakes which discharge to the Dania Cut-off Canal
and the C-10 Canal. The entire drainage system is managed
by the South Florida Water Management District, the Broward
County Water Resources Management Division and the City
Engineer.
i
The drainage system has adequately protected the existing
community.
5. Potable Water
The water treatment plant has a design capacity of 3.0 mgd
with a present demand of 2.2 mgd reflecting an adequate
J
2
i
level of service. There are three areas of the City where
distribution deficiencies have been identified.
6. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge
Broward County has embarked upon a wellfield Protection
program which prohibits and/or regulates hazardous toxic
i
substances. The City of Dania is committed to this program.
The City also requires water conserving fixtures in new
construction which will further protect the natural groundwater
for the City of Dania.
B. Vacant Land Analysis [9J-5.006(2)(b)]
This segment of the report analyzes the character and magnitude of
the existing vacant or undeveloped land to determine suitability for
use.
1. Vacant Land Inventory
Table III provides an inventory of the vacant land within the
community as of January, 1987 by land use. A vast majority
of the vacant land is industrial and comprises over 50% of the
available land.
i
2. Physiography, Drainage and Minerals
Dania is nearly level in topography. The soils are underlain by
limestone which is porous allowing water to move through it
laterally for long distances. 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. 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
i pennsucco series.
Both of these soils typically contain wetland species which
require permitting through the Army Corps of Engineers,
.J
3
yy��,
Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, and
I _ Broward County Department of Natural Resource Protection.
I
The City Commission has taken steps to assist in the
conservation through the reduction of the density east of Fifth
Avenue to one (1) unit per acre which will provide greater site
plan latitude to insure proper conservation of this area.
_I
4. Wellfields
The Broward County Water Resources Management Division
is responsible for the development of a comprehensive future
wellfield study. There are no future sites in the City, but
existing wells and cones of influence have been shown.
5. Lakes, Beaches and Shores
1 All the beach front property within the City of Dania is held in
public ownership. Further, there is no contemplated
I 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.
j 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. There are no harbors within the City of Dania.
6. Historical Resources
This historical resources have been identified in the Housing
Element and on the existing Land Use Plan of the
j Comprehensive Plan. No vacant land development will
impact these historic resources.
C. Land Needs [9J-5.006(2)(c)]
he Year 1993 projections of approximately 7 500 units
To support t ,
N' � J �N y
within the community, the associated land need requirements are
j anticipated to be approximately 50 acres. This is established
utilizing the average new starts for housing within the community of
- I about 90 per year and recognizes the predominate mix of housing
4
i
i
i
from the period of 1980 to 1987 which reflects a substantial number
of multi-family permits (91%) against single-family permit issuance
(9%).
D. Redevelopment [9J-5.006(2)(d)]
The City of Dania is one of six (6) target areas as identified in the
Broward County Redevelopment Plan - Florida Statues 163. The
boundaries of the target area generally lie west of U.S. #l, south of
Old Griffin Road, east of the C-10 Canal and north of the Sheridan
Street.
E. Flood Prone Areas [9J-5.006(2)(e)]
The City of Dania 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.

FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
CURRENT
INTRODUCTION
The following comparisons are provided to demonstrate the
changes in the Future Land Use Element of the Dania
Comprehensive Plan that have accrued since 1989.
i
H. EXISTING LAND USE DATA REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.006(1)(a)(b)(c)& 01
Table l of the 1989 plan outlines the existing land uses and
indicated the total land area of the city as being 2,924 acres. The
biggest change in land usage occurred in vacant land. In 1989, the
city had 956 acres of vacant land as compared to 744 acres today,
a decrease of 212 acres. Vacant land was reduced by the
development of Commercial, Industrial and Residential
developments. Approximately 75% of the city is in a built condition
as compared to 65% in 1989. The following will further analyze the
different characteristics of the existing land uses within the
community.
A. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
I ;
Residential uses represent 915 acres or 31% of the city as
compared to 28% or 828 acres in 1989. The increase of 87 acres
is largely due to the increased development of single family homes.
Residential vacant land use represents 27% of the vacant land
inventory.
B. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
i
Commercial Development has increased from 292 acres in 1989 to
366 acres or 13% in 1995. This was due to the development
shopping centers and the infill of vacant commercial lots.
Commercial vacant land still represents 14% of the vacant land in
Dania.
C. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
j
Industrial development has increased by 57 developed acres or
12% of the city. In 1989 industrial land uses occupied only 301
acres or 10% of the land area. Vacant industrial land represents
the largest category in the city with 58% of the industrial land
vacant.
,l
6
I
i
j -
D. RECREATION/CONSERVATION
The recreational facilities have not decreased by 8 acres as
indicated on Table I. The difference is in an error discovered in the
1989 plan and not to a decrease in acreage. The 192 acres
makes u
indicated in Table I ma p 7% of the total.
E. COMMUNITY FACILITIES
Community facilities have increased by 45 acres due to the
expansion of the airport into the NE section of the city. This is
reflected in Table III in Flex Zone 79.
F. HISTORICAL RESOURCES - No Change
G. VACANT
Vacant land now represents 25% of the city or 744 acres with a
majority of vacant land to the east of the airport and along the 1-95
corridor. In 1989 vacant land was 33% of the city or 956 acres, a
decrease of 212 acres.

3. SOLID WASTE
The city has entered into a contract with Reuter, Inc. to
provide solid waste disposal at a composting and recycling
plant in Pembroke Pines. At the present time the city is
recycling approximately 100% of its Solid Waste. (See
Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage Element for more
details.)
i
4. DRAINAGE
No Change - See Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage
Element for more details.
5. POTABLE WATER
The current status of the three areas of the City where
potable distribution deficiencies were identified in the
Comprehensive Plan are as follows:
I
a) Melaleuca Isles is situated immediately south of the Fort
Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport and west of
US 1. Due to its proximity to the airport and the planned
expansion of the airport which has been in the planning
phases for several years, the water system
improvements have not occurred in this area due to the
unknown impact the billion dollar airport expansion plan
may have to this neighborhood.
b) Southeast Area: the distribution system for the
southeastern area has been improved and bolstered
with a 12" lines and the problem has been rectified.
c) Northeast Area (Gulfstream and HarbourTowne): This
area has received the new 12" water line which has
rectified the problem in the this vicinity of the City.

B. VACANT LAND ANALYSIS [9J-5.006(2)(b))
1. Vacant Land Inventory
As stated previously the city contains approximately 744
acres of vacant land as compared to 956 acres in 1989. A
vast majority of the land remains industrial and comprises
over 50% of the vacant land inventory.
A majority of the vacant land lies east of the Ft. Lauderdale
International Airport and along the 1-95 corridor. At the
j present time the airport is preparing for a major runway
expansion and has purchased a vast majority of the vacant
land. This land will not be developed and will remain in the
vacant land inventory.

of each land use category. No changes have occurred in this
i
section since 1989.

1 IV. Summary
The Future Land Use Element indicates that the city continues to grow
with increases in developed residential, commercial and industrial land.
The impact of the proposed expansion of the Ft. Lauderdale Airport will
greatly effect the future land uses of the city. The full impact of this
expansion has not yet been determined. However the impact on
-7 revenues is already being felt from the loss of tax base.
I
The annexation of the lands west of Ravenswood road have greatly
impacted the needs for public services. The impact and land uses will be
addressed at the time the city develops it's new Comprehensive Plan in
1996.

DATA REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.010(1)]
A. Housing Inventory - 1980 [9J-5.010(1)(a) & (b)]
- Table I provides an outline of the Housing Inventory for the City of Dania
as of 1980. The information is provided by type of units including single
family, two family, multi-family and mobile homes.
The housing inventory indicates as of 1980 there were approximately
6,100 dwelling units within the City of Dania.
Single family dwellings represent 36% or approximately 2,200 dwelling
units, and multi-family 56% or 3,400 dwelling units. There are also
approximately 400 mobile homes situated within the community primarily
located in the northern reaches of the City.
B. Characteristics of the 1980 Housing Stock [9J-5.010(1)(a); (b) & (c)]
1. Unit Age
Table 11 outlines the unit age of dwelling units within the City of
Dania by seven (7) separate age categories beginning from 1939
and running through 1980. Broward County totals are also
provided. As reflected on Table II 85% of the housing has been
built since 1950 and approximately 60% of the housing has been
built since 1960. The City of Dania is one of the pioneer cities
within Broward County and unit age is reflective of that as about
40% of the housing was built by 1960.
2. Unit Value
' Table III outlines the unit values within the City of Dania by nine
categories ranging in value from less than $10,000 to over
$200,000. A median value is provided and also a comparison with
Broward County. Table III indicates that over 65% of the housing
within the community is valued in the $40 - 100,000 price range
low'
I
with the largest percentage (25%) of the housing in the $60 -
80,000 price range.
3. Gross Rent
Table IV outlines the gross rent occurring within the City of Dania
as of the 1980 census. The figures are provided in nine
categories ranging from $80 - $400 per month; median rent
city-wide; and Broward County. Table IV indicates that over 80%
of the rents are less than $350. The median in the City of Dania is
$248 per month which is approximately $64 less than the County
j average of$312 per month for median gross rents.
4. Monthly Mortgage Cost
Table V outlines monthly mortgage cost city-wide and within
Broward County. Monthly mortgage costs range from under $100
! to over $600 per month plus a median cost is also provided. The
' median for the City of Dania is $361 a month which is lower than
the Broward County median of$389 per month.
5. Lacking Facilities
Table VI reflects the number of units within the City which lack
complete plumbing, kitchens or central heating.
j 6. Rent to Income Ratio
Rent to income ratio represents the percentage of a household's
income that is utilized to provide shelter which is reflected on
Table VII.
According to the 1980 U.S. Census, approximately 859 of the
City's 2207 units which were renter occupied paid more than 35%
of their income for rent. Table VII outlines the Rent to Income
Ratio within the City of Dania.
7. Standard/Sub-Standard Housing Conditions
The purpose of developing definitions for sub-standard housing is to
_. determine whether there are components of the City which could be
available for rehabilitation or should be considered as
I
2
I
i
dilapidated and potentially be demolished. Table VIII reflects this
information.
C. Subsidized Renter Housing [9J-5.010(1)(d)]
The City of Dania has subsidized renter housing through the Federal
Government Section 8 program. As of 1987 Table IX identifies by
Census Tract the number of units within the City.
D. Group Homes [9J-5.010(1)(e)]
I
Table X identifies the group home facilities situated within the City o
Dania.
E. Mobile Homes [9J-5.010(1)(f)]
The inventory of mobile homes provided by FLORIDA HRS indicates
j there are four (4) mobile home parks representing 663 units within the
City. Table XI identifies each facility.
F. Historical Housing [9J-5.010(1)(9)]
i
Table XII identifies historical housing occurring within the City of Dania.
G. Housing Activity (1980-1987) [9J-5.010(1)(h)]
Table Xlll is an inventory of housing construction activities within the City
of Dania from 1980 to 1987. The data reflects a total increase of
approximately 940 dwelling units since 1980. The new construction
reflects a substantial increase in new multi-family housing which
represents over 80% of the increase.
II. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.010(2)]
A. Household Projections [9J-5.010(2)(a) & (b)]
To develop future housing needs it is first important to examine the
projected number of dwelling units and population which will be regulated
i by the Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Table XIV
provides the anticipated number of dwelling units to be constructed in
conformance with the City's Land Use Element: For the period 1988 -
1993 an anticipated additional 450 dwelling units is expected and for the
period 1993 - 2010 an additional 320 dwelling units is expected.
3
I
-, Table XV provides a projection of anticipated households by size to
support these projections. Table XV indicates a continuing trend of the
community mix that is presently in place with some increase in the two
person households.
_ These projections were prepared by utilizing a combination of the Bureau
of Census Information, Broward County Office of Planning Projections,
and City of Dania Growth Management Department Dwelling Unit
Compilations for the period of 1980 to 1987 as reflected on Table XIII of
the Data Requirements of this element.
Table XVI provides the income range of anticipated households both
renter and owner occupied based upon the 1980 Census.
Table XVII provides a breakdown of the housing needs for the anticipated
population.
B. Land Requirements [9J-5.010(2)(c)]
The land requirements necessary for meeting the anticipated additional
dwelling units outlined previously is expected to be approximate 15 acres
single and two family and 90 acres multi-family for the Year 1993.
C. Private Sector Initiatives [9J-5.010(2)(d) & (e)]
The Private Sector is expected to continue to be the main provider of
housing for the future residents of the City of Dania.
It is anticipated that approximately 70% - 80% of the projected housing
needs will be met by private sector within reasonable market conditions
which are anticipated in the future. The private sector housing delivery
process within Dania and Broward County as a whole has proven to be a
relatively effective interaction between the private sector and the public
sector. The City of Dania has established a growth management
department which essentially provides one stop permitting for many
projects within the community. These would be projects with the proper
zoning and land use in place. As noted in other parts of the
Comprehensive Plan, services are readily available for all developments
because of the communities long established history. Vacant land is
readily available close to all infrastructure requirements and a mix and
variety of not only housing, but non-residential properties are available.
D. Special Needs [9J-5.010(2)(f)]
4
i
1. Low and Moderate Income Households
— The City of Dania contains one of the six target areas within
Broward County. Accordingly, a Chapter 163 Redevelopment
Plan has been developed for the City of Dania and is in the
implementation phase.
An adequate supply of low and moderate income housing sites
are presently available on vacant land still remaining within the
community. The City has in excess of 200 units of subsidized
renter housing.
2. Substandard Housing Conditions
The Target area receives CDBG funding on an annual basis to
help address the problem within that portion of the City.
3. Low/Moderate Income and Mobile Home Sites
As is indicated on Table III the median unit value within the City of
Dania is approximately $7,000 less than the Broward County
average. Based upon 1980 census as outlined in Table III there is
also a greater percentage of units which are in the lower priced
bracket. The development of the 163 Redevelopment Area
contains approximately 30 acres of vacant land which can provide
for a mix of residential housing types.
As is outlined on Table I, in 1980 Dania contained approximately
400 mobile homes which is representative of 5.6% of the housing
within the community which exceeds the county-wide average of
approximately 4.8%.
4. Group Homes and Foster Care Facilities
Group homes and or foster care facilities which are licensed by the
Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services are
situated within residential communities in the City of Dania.
E. Conservation, Rehabilitation or Demolition Activities and Historically
Significant Housing
i
As noted in the Redevelopment Plan for the target area, there is a
continuing identification of housing for rehabilitation and demolition
j activities.

HOUSING ELEMENT
CURRENT CONDITIONS
I. INTRODUCTION
The following comparisons are provided to demonstrate the changes to the
Housing Element of the Dania Comprehensive Plan. In compiling the new data
numerous errors were discovered in the 1980 data. The comparison tables
contained in this section reflect the corrected data for 1980.
II. DATA INVENTORY
A. HOUSING INVENTORY (1980 - 1990) [9J-5.010(1)(a)(b)]
Table I shows the difference in the housing inventory for the City of Dania
from 1980 to 1990 based on the United States Bureau of Census - 1990
The housing inventory indicates that in 1980 there were 6,091 dwelling
units within the City of Dania. In 1990 the number of housing units
increased to 7,529 dwelling units. An increase of 1,438 dwelling units.
The major increase is reflected by a 493 unit increase of single family
homes and an increase of 661 multi-family dwelling units
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOUSING STOCK 1980 - 1990
[9J-5.010(1)(a)(b)&(c)]
1. UNIT AGE
Table II indicates that the age of the housing units in Dania
continues to be older that that of Broward County. 90.62% of the
housing has been built since 1950 and 187 units have been
demolished.
2. UNIT VALUE
Table III shows the comparison of the unit values in each of nine
categories. Over 56.8% of the housing is valued in the $40 - to
- $100,000 price range as compared to 65% in 1980 with the largest
percentage (41.5%) of the housing in the $60 - $99,000 price
range.
' l
_. 6
q�I
9� w
In 1980 the median value of dwelling units was $53,900 compared
to $84,600 today. The City of Dania price range is compatible with
Broward County except Dania has a slightly higher number of
housing valued lower than $40,000.
I
"i 3. GROSS RENTS
Table IV indicates the difference in the gross rents that have
occurred since the 1980 census. Over 20.8% of the rents are less
than $350 as compared to 80% in 1980. The median in the City of
Dania is $484 per month as compared to $248 in 1980.
i
The median rent in Dania is approximately 8.5% lower than
Broward County today as compared to 7.9% in 1980.
4. MONTHLY MORTGAGE COSTS
Table V shows the mortgage comparisons in the city as compared
to 1980. The median mortgage cost in 1980 was $361 per
month. Today's median mortgage cost is $754 per month. The
increase can be attributed to higher mortgage rates and new
housing that was built in the city since 1980. The median
mortgage rate in Broward County is $856 as compared to $754 in
Dania. Dania's lower mortgage rate is attributed to the housing
units in Dania being older structures.
5. LACKING FACILITIES
Table VI indicates that in 1980 110 units were lacking plumbing as
compared to 41 units in 1990, 117 units were lacking kitchens as
compared to 88 units today. There was no current data available
for heating and overcrowding. The difference in the above
mentioned categories can be attributed to two factors: 1)
increased code enforcement and 2) upgrading of the older units by
the owners.
i
i

6. RENT TO INCOME RATIO
Table VII reflects the changes from 1980 to 1990. According to
the 1990 census approximately 943 of the city's 2,564 units or
36.8% are renter occupied that pay more than 35% of their income
for rent, compared to 859 out of 2,207 units or 38.8% in 1980.
j
7. STANDARD/SUB-STANDARD HOUSING CONDITIONS
Table VIII reflects the changes from 1980 to 1990. In 1989 the
city had 266 dwelling units that were classified as substandard.
Today only 26 homes can be classified as substandard.
C. SUBSIDIZED RENTER HOUSING [9J-5.010(1)(d)]
Table IX reflects the difference between 1980 and 1990. According to
the 1980 data reported, there were 222 units that were rent subsidized
as compared to the current reported data of 2,179 units.
D. GROUP HOMES [9J-5.010(1)(e)]
Table X identifies the changes in group home facilities in the City
of Dania.
E. MOBILE HOMES [9J-5.010(1)(0]
I
Of the five mobile home parks listed in the 1989 plan only 4 remain
today. Trails End has been Purchased by Broward County for Airport
related uses and the 224 units have been removed leaving a total of 507
units today. Table XI reflects this decrease.
F. HISTORICAL HOUSING [9J-5.010(1)(g)]
The inventory of historical housing shown in Table XII has not changed
since 1989 except that the residence located at 202 S. Federal Highway
was moved to John Houston Park to make way for commercial
development. The home was moved in 1993 as a joint effort between
the developer, the city and concerned citizens.
G. HOUSING ACTIVITY (1980 - 1995) [9J-5.010(1)(h)]
Table XIII has been updated to reflect housing construction activities as
of 1995. Approximately 939 dwelling units were constructed from 1980
to 1987. Since 1987 1,120 units have been constructed.
8
A
III. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS
i
Tables XIV- XVII have been adjusted to reflect the data available today.
A. HOUSEHOLD PROJECTIONS [9J-5.010(2)(a)(b)]
I
Table XIV "Projected Dwelling Units" predicted that in 1993 the city would
have a population of 12,039 residents and that in 2010 the city would
increase to 12,542 residents. According to the 1990 census the city has
a population of 13,024. The city has already exceeded the projected
population for the year 2010.
It was projected that in 1993 the city would have 7,480 dwelling units,
however we surpassed that number in 1990 with 7,699 units constructed.
The year 2010 projections will also be exceeded before that time.
I
5,794 dwelling units are indicated to be vacant by the 1990 census. This
is less than that projected for 1993.
Table XV 'Projection of Household Size" indicates that the number of
single person household has increased to 34%, 2 person households
decreased by 2% and 3 person households remained the same. Four
person households have decreased by 1% and 5 person households
account for only 4% as compared to 8% in 1980. Three percent of the
households are occupied by 6-7 persons. The percentage difference in
household size seems to be in keeping with that of Broward County.
Table XIII indicates the Housing Activity from 1987 to 1995.
Table XVI 'Projected Income Range of Housing Units" provides the
income range of anticipated households. None of the projections were
achieved in the Low and Moderate Income ranges. In the Middle Income
range the City exceeded the 1993 projection in 1990 according to the
1990 census. No data is available to update Table XVII at this time.
B. LAND REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.010(2)(c)]
As indicated by the number of housing units constructed to date the city
projections for land requirements were reversed. More acres were
devoted to single family development and less to multi-family
development than were anticipated in 1989.
9
C. PRIVATE SECTOR INITIATIVES [W-5.010(2)(d)(e)]
The Private Sector Initiatives have not changed since 1989.
D, SPECIAL NEEDS [W-5.010(2)(f)]
1. Low and Moderate Income Households.
j The low and moderate income housing in Dania continues to
grow. Both single-family and multi-family housing have been
constructed in the low to moderate income range.
I '
2. Substandard Housing Conditions.
As indicated in Table VI the City of Dania has made great
strides in improving substandard housing conditions.
3. Low/Moderate Income and Mobile Home Sites.
The median unit value in Dania still remains approximately $7,000
less than Broward County average and we still have a greater
percentage of units which are in the lower priced
bracket.
Dania's remaining four (4) mobile home facilities presently
provides adequate sites to support this segment of the housing
needs.
4. Group Homes and Foster Care Facilities
Group Homes and Foster Care facilities continue to be situated
within residential communities in the city. Dania has five (5)
Foster Care Facilities according to the Department of Health and
j Rehabilitative Services. Dania has five (5) active Foster Care
Facilities according to the Department of Health and Rehabilitative
Services.
j E. CONSERVATION, REHABILITATION OR DEMOLITION
ACTIVITIES AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANT HOUSING
The city continues to identify housing for rehabilitation and or demolition
within the Target area. Since 1989 19 residential units have been
identified and demolished.

TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ELEMENT
CONDITIONS AT ADOPTION
7I. DATA REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.007(1)(a)(b)&(c)]
A. Trafficways Plan
The roads identified on the City of Dania's Future Land Use Plan
map and on the Traffic and Circulation Plan are consistent with
those found on the Broward County Trafficways Plan. This
consistency with County requirements will be maintained as
follows:
Expressways(Limited Access)
1. Interstate 95 (1-95)
Interstate 95 running along Dania's western edge traverses
a primarily industrial and vacant area of the City.
2. Port Expressway (1-595)
The Port Expressway will have minimal direct effect on the
community since it runs along the northern City limits.
Principal and Minor Arterials
1. Federal Highway (U.S. 1)
Federal Highway connects the communities north of Dania
with those lying to the south.
2. N.W. / N.E. 10th Street
N.W. ! N.E. 10th Street connects Eller Drive and Federal
Highway with 1-95 and points west.
3. Sheridan Street
i
Sheridan Street, a principal east-west arterial, serves as the
boundary between Dania and Hollywood.
I _ t
4. Dania Beach Boulevard
Dania Beach Boulevard essentially divides the City into
northern and southern segments.
5. Stirling Road
Stirling Road connects Dania with cities in the far western
reaches of the County.
Collectors
1. Bryan Road
Bryan Road is the important north/south collector in the area
of the City lying east of 1-95.
2. Griffin Road
Griffin Road is an east/west collector.
3. N.W. 10th Street
N.W. 10th Street is currently the only link between 1-95 and
Federal Highway in that part of the City.
II. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.007(2)(a)&(b)]
I
Level of Service D is the capacity value normally used in Broward County
for the transportation planning process. It is characterized by relatively
satisfactory operating speeds with most of the drivers being restricted in
their freedom to select their own speed, change lanes or pass.
Once the standards are known, an examination of the existing traffic on a
city's streets is necessary to determine how the current traffic volumes
relate to the standards. Therefore, through the Broward County Planning
Council staff and the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) analysis of the existing and projected level of services on the
regional roadway network, an evaluation of the system can be made. The
above referenced study identified over capacity rods (roads operating
below level of service "D" ) for three time horizons; 1987, 1994 and 2010.
The 2010 traffic projections were taken from the Year 2010 Long Range
Transportation Plan. The 1994 traffic projections were based on an
2
interpolation between current counts and 2010 projects. The 1994
roadway network includes roads in the Five Year Transportation
Improvement Program while the 2010 network includes rods on the 2010
Highway Network and adopted by the MPO. Table I illustrates the
analysis as included in the MPO Review.
I
Interstate 95
As it traverses the community, is operating in excess of Level of
Service D design capacity.
Griffin Road
Has recently been expanded and is operating below capacity.
Stirlin4 Road
Has recently been expanded and is operating below capacity.
Sheridan Street
East of Dixie Highway is operating below capacity.
Ravenswood Road
North of Stirling Road was below capacity and exceeded capacity
in the Year 1994.
Dania Beach Boulevard
Is operating below capacity and will likely remain so due to limited
potential for future development.
I U.S. 1
Has been recently improved in conjunction with the expansion of
the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and is currently
operating below capacity.

During the Plan update the City will also analyze traffic circulation levels
of service and system needs based upon accident frequency data that
may be available for the City of Dania. The Plan update will also
address the need for the new facilities or expansions as required by
Rule 9J-5.007 (2)(a). The Plan update will also provide an analysis of
projected levels of service and system needs based upon the Future
Land Use Map and address the need for the facilities or expansions
required by Rule 9J-5.007(2)(b).

SANITARY SEWER SUB-ELEMENT [9J-5.011(1)(c)(d)(e)&(f)]
A. Introduction
Dania originally operated its own treatment facility but it was
1 abandoned in 1974 and the City entered into a larger user
agreement with the City of Hollywood to provide for wastewater
treatment. The City presently operates and maintains its own
+ sanitary sewage collection system and appurtenant sewage lift
i
station.
B. Existing Conditions
The City sewage collection and transmission system consists of
j approximately thirty-three (33) miles of gravity sewer lines ranging
from eight (8) inches in diameter to twenty-four (24) inches in
diameter. There are eleven (11) sewage pump stations and
approximately six (6) miles of sewage force mains with diameters
of up to eighteen (18) inches.
I
j Approximately ninety (90) Percent of the City is served by the
sanitary sewer system with an area of single family homes located
north and east of the Dania Cut-Off Canal and west of U.S. 1
presently being served by septic tank.
The Broward County 201 facilities plan, as approved by the State,
provided for the wastewater from the City of Dania to be treated by
the City of Hollywood Wastewater Treatment Facility. The plant
has a design capacity of thirty-eight (38) million gallons per day and
currently treats approximately thirty-three (33) million gallons per
day on an average.
C. Analysis of Existing System
The present wastewater and future flows generated by the City of
Dania are tabulated as follows:
Average Peak
1 1989 2.7 MGD 3.78 MGD
1
I
1990 2.8 MGD 3.92 MGD
1995 3.8 MGD 5.32 MGD
2000 4.7 MGD 6.58 MGD
The contract, known as a "Large User Agreement", is being
updated to the following flows for the City of Dania:
Average Peak
1989 3.00 MGD 4.2 MGD
1990 3.00 MGD 4.2 MGD
1995 3.80 MGD 5.32 MGD
2000 4.68 MGD 6.58 MGD
The sewage lift stations and force main systems were analyzed in
1986 for the ultimate flow projections. Certain deficiencies were
identified, such as undersized stretches of force main, undersized
master meters and upgrading of pumps. These deficiencies were
addressed by the City and the improvements have been
completed. The remaining improvement to the system that would
need to be addressed is the installation of a pump station and force
main to service the unsewered area north of the Dania Cut-Off
Canal should the septic tank system fail.
The level of service standard for the City's sanitary sewer facilities
shall be 300 gallons per day per residence which shall equal one
ERC.
II. SOLID WASTE ELEMENT [9J-5.011(1)(c)(d)(e)&(f)]
iA. Existing Conditions
The City of Dania Public Works crews pick up lawn trash and brush
on a continuous basis and haul the refuse to the National Resource
Recovery site located at the Turnpike and S.R. 84 in Davie.
The solid waste generated by other sources is hauled to the
Central Disposal Facility under contract to Seacoast Sanitation.
The Central Disposal Facility consists of five land fill cells of
approximately 400 acres. The Central Disposal Facility has a
design capacity as follows:
Cell 1 16,400,000 C.Y.
Cell 2 Not developed
Sub Cell 3A 1,950,000 C.Y.
nJ
JI 2
:'Ft
In 1987 the Central Disposal Facility handled 1,151,000 tons of
solid waste.
B. Analysis
The City of Dania entered into a disposal contract with Reuter
Recycling of Florida Inc. for disposal of its processable waste. The
l Average Annual Tonnage for the City of Dania is 10,000 tons. The
j plant was scheduled to go into production in July 1990 and has a
capacity of 200,000 tons per year. The contract allows that when
the plant capacity of 175,000 tons per year is reached, the plant
capacity will be increased by 100,000 tons per year to 300,000 tons
per year. The contract calls for the following minimum waste
stream for the City of Dania:
Year Average Annual Tonnage
1990 10,000
1995 10,772
2000 11,605
2005 12,502
2010 13,468
III. DRAINAGE AND NATURAL GROUNDWATER RECHARGE
[9J-5.011(1)(g)(h)l
i
A. Existing Conditions
The primary drainage system of the City of Dania as well as
Broward County is controlled by the canal and pump system of the
South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The SFWMD
maintains a canal and pump systems and controls discharge based
on the capacity of the system to remove storm water.
The southeast area of the City is quite low in elevation, having an
average elevation of+4.0 to +5.0 N.G.V.D. This area is drained by
a series of storm sewers connecting to a 3 acre lake with a 15,000
gallon per minute pump system that discharges through a series of
T J ditches to the Dania Cut-Off Canal.
The City adheres to the minimum standards of Broward County
and South Florida Water Management District and establishes the
following levels of service:

Best Management Practice
B. Analysis of Existing System
The drainage system of the City functions adequately and is able to
meet the area wide level of service standards.
The southeast area of the City located east of U.S. 1 and south of
Dania Beach Boulevard perhaps have the most severe drainage
problems. This area is in need of further storm sewer
improvements and the pump station, though completely rebuilt in
1984 would probably need replacement in 10 years. The estimated
cost of these improvements are:
Storm Sewers $100,000
Pump Station $ 60,000

IV. POTABLE WATER SUB-ELEMENT [9J-5.011(1)(c)(d)(e)&(f)]
A. Existing Conditions
j The City of Dania's water distribution system consists of
approximately thirty (30) miles of pipe with diameters varying from
six (6) inches to twelve (12) inches. The entire City is served by
potable water with the exception of a warehouse complex in the
southwest corner of the City. The City also has in place five (5)
interconnects with adjacent utilities as follows:
City of Fort Lauderdale 1 - 12 inch
j City of Hollywood 2 - 6 inch
i 1 - 8 inch
Broward County 1 - 12 inch
�J
4
J
The City of Dania follows the standards established by the Broward
County Public Health Unit and the City to determine the adequacy
of potable water services.
The City of Dania Water Treatment Plant has the following
characteristics:
Average Daily Flow 2.1 million gallons/day
Peak Flow 3.0 million gallons/day
Design Flow (ADF) 3.0 million gallons/day
Estimated Remaining Life 5 years
The plant operates twenty-four hours per day.
B. Analysis of Existing Conditions
The following chart gives the anticipated daily flow demands for the
City of Dania:
i
Average Peak
1990 2.1 MGD 3.2 MGD
1995 2.8 MGD 4.2 MGD
2000 3.5 MGD 5.3 MGD
The distribution system of the City has been analyzed by the
hydraulic analysis and three areas of the City were determined to
have weakness, the extreme southeast area, the area north of the
Dania Cut-Off Canal known as Melaleuca Isles and the area north
and south of the Dania Cut-Off Canal in the extreme eastern part of
the City.
The plant operates adequately and is in reasonably good shape. It
is expected that the plant will operate satisfactorily for
approximately five to ten years without major replacements.
Planning is underway for an additional ground storage facility in the
„I northeast area of the City with a volume of 500,000 gallons to
1,000,000 gallons considered, with high service pumps.
The City of Dania, being a coastal community, has historically had
difficulties with its raw water wells. The wells in the eastern portion
7 of the City have been discontinued in use due to high levels of
J chlorides in the water. In the early 1980's, two new wells were
installed west of the city limits and these wells are currently in use.

I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Dania combined the departments of Public Works and
Utilities into one department in 1994. The responsibilities of the
department include the operation, maintenance and construction of
all of the city's public grounds along with the water/sewer system.
i
The following will compare the changes to the Sanitary Sewer Sub-
Element of the 1989 plan to those of today (1995).
I
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The city sewage collection and transmission system consists of
gravity sewer lines, pump stations and force mains. The City of
Hollywood, Florida, through a large user agreement, provides for
wastewater treatment.
The city still services about ninety (90) percent of developed areas
with a sanitary sewer system. The only area served by septic
tanks in the City of Dania service area is known as Melaleuca Isles
which encompasses approximately 102 acres and 367 dwelling
units which translates to a density of less than (4) four dwelling
units per acre. This density does not exceed the maximum density
for septic tanks as specified by State regulations. In addition, the
area is fully developed at this time and no additional septic tanks
are anticipated.
The Broward County Health Unit is responsible for permitting septic
tanks. At this time, representatives of the Broward County Health
Unit are not aware of any problems related to the existence of
septic tanks in the City. Specifically, no ground water problems
linked to the existence of septic tanks are known to exist. Ground
water quality data is not collected by the city or the Broward County
_. Health Unit.

i
The Broward County Public health Unit has not revised their
maximum discharge or their design criteria since 1989.
The design flows established by the Broward County Department
of Natural resource Protection and adopted by the city have not
changed since 1989.
B. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SYSTEM
The following shows the changes in the wastewater flows
_. generated by the city compared to what was projected in 1989 and
the projections for the year 2005.

2005 N/A 3.5 MGD N/A 4.9 MGD
The difference in the 1995 projection and the actual 1995 MGD is a
result of the airport expansion project. The land east of the airport
was projected to have several hotels constructed and major airport
related uses. Due to the expansion program these facilities will not
i be built.
Dania still contracts with the City of Hollywood for wastewater
treatment. the contract known as a "Large User Agreement' is
being updated to reflect the following flows for the city.
Average Peak
1995 3.80 MGD 5.32 MGD
2000 4.68 MGD 6.58 MGD

The City of Dania now contracts with Southern Sanitation, a private
contractor, to collect the solid waste within the city and deliver the waste
to the Reuter Recycling facility in western Pembroke Pines. This facility
has a design capacity of 660 tons per day. The current demand at the
facility is 550 tons per day. The City of Dania's portion of this demand is
established at 29.5 tons per day. The city no longer hauls to the Central

The City of Dania Growth Management Department is still responsible for
assuring proper drainage is installed on all new projects as per Section
4605 of the South Florida Building Code while the Public Works
Department is responsible for existing systems and their extensions.
It. EXISTING CONDITIONS
Since 1989, $200,000 worth of improvements have incurred to the
i drainage system within the community. This included upgrading the pump
system within the southeastern portion of the City and it is presently in
good repair.
The City retained a consulting engineering firm to complete a City-wide
assessment of the existing drainage system. The report identified
recommended improvements for the City's system. In addition, the City
recently had a city-wide special assessment for maintenance and
improvements.
I
III. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SYSTEM
The western portion of Broward County through the 790 square mile
conservation is the primary aquifer recharge area for the City of Dania and
Broward County and these areas are maintained by the South Florida
Water Management District. Other aquifer recharge occurs within the City
limits through the Dania cut-off canal, exfiltration systems and on-site
retention/detention areas. However, it is important to note that most of the
entire limits of the City of Dania are impacted by salt water intrusion due
to its close proximity to the coastal areas of eastern Florida.

I. INTRODUCTION
I
The Charter of the City of Dania provides for a Department of Public
Works and Utilities which is responsible for the potable water treatment
and distribution system.
H. EXISTING CONDITIONS
In 1993 the city entered into an agreement with Broward County to
provide raw water and is presently receiving one million gallons per
day temporarily from Broward County System 3A: The Broward
County South Regional Raw Water Supply System was completed
and operational in 1996. The City of Dania will supplement its
wells from that system for anything over 2 million gallons per day.
This supplement will come either from the Broward County System
3-A or Brian Piccolo Park in western Broward County.

COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
CONDITIONS AT ADOPTION
I. DATA AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS (9J-5.012)
The coastal zone within the City of Dania is considered to be that area east of
U.S. 1 consisting of approximately 1,500 acres.
A. Coastal Zone Inventory [9J-5.012(2)(c)]
Table I identifies the existing land uses within the coastal zone
utilizing the same land use hierarchy identified in the Land Use
Data Section of the Land Use Element. In addition there is
I approximately 625 acres or 40% of the property that is presently
vacant.
1 Table II identifies the vacant land within the zone by future land use
type utilizing the same hierarchy identified in the Land Use Data
Section of the Land Use Element.
At the present time there are no conflicts with shoreline uses as the
beach front is public and maintained as a recreational facility for the
I residents of the community. Because of the growing marine
industry within the general Broward County area and the lack of
facilities with ready access to the Intracoastal and Atlantic Ocean,
Dania finds itself as a desirable location for this type of
development.
The economic base of the coastal portion of Dania as reflected in
existing land use provides for a diverse array of both residential
and commercial activities. Industrial activities within Port
Everglades plus commercial activities along Dania Beach
Boulevard, including Dania Jai-Alai, provide employment
opportunities and tax revenue for the community.
I
The natural resources occurring within the coastal zone have been
identified on the Coastal Resource Map. There are mangrove
communities occurring within portions of the eastern segment of
the City.
The portions of the coastal zone which contain natural resources
include generally the area of east 5th Avenue and south of Dania
Boulevard which is a mangrove habitat and the area east of Fort
Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport which also contains a
__1
mangrove habitat. The City Commission has reduced the density
east of 5th Avenue and south of Dania Beach Boulevard from
Low(5) Residential to Estate(1) Residential which significantly
reduces the intensity of any development that may occur in this
area.
For the area east of the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International
Airport the same developmental constraints would be in place for
any activities within this area. The key difference with this area is
that it is the primary employment center for the City of Dania and
hence a primary tax base. Therefore, it does provide substantial
economic benefits to the community. However, a balance between
protection of natural resources and economic benefits can be
obtained and properly managed.
i
The proposed future land uses have no effect on coastal flooding
within the area as that primarily is related to the beachfront which is
{ a public beach facility and will continue to be maintained as such
IJ by the City of Dania.
The historic resources have been identified on the coastal
resources map and there are no redevelopment efforts through this
1 ) Land Use Plan which would have an impact on historic resources
(there are no archeological sites) in the coastal area.
The City of Dania beach coastal high hazard area is non-
contiguous to the remainder of the City as indicated on the future
land use maps.
B. Estuarine Conditions [W-5.012(2)(d)]
The New River Sound which is located in the Dania Beach area
and depicted on the Estuarine Map is located in an area which due
to its proximity to the Port Everglades Inlet receives a substantial
tidal flow and related flushing. Accordingly, the pollution within this
area is very limited and the water quality which is designated as a
Class III by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation is
good. There are no point or non-point source pollution problems
within the estuarine area.
In addition, as noted earlier, the City of Dania will not permit any
additional development which will have a negative impact to the
water quality of this estuary.
1
2
I
The beach area of the City of Dania has existing infrastructure in
place which will suffice for both existing and proposed land uses.
-, The area is accessed by Dania Beach Boulevard (four lane
divided) from the west and AM (two lanes) from the south, both of
which are part of the State primary road system.
C. Natural Disaster Planning [9J-5.012(2)(e)]
I
1. Hurricane Evacuation
The emergency preparation office of the Broward County
government is responsible for the preparation and
implementation of a hurricane evacuation plan for Broward
County. The plan includes two (2( categories: Plan A which
calls for the evacuation of all residents east of the
intracoastal waterway in the event hurricane winds are in the
74 mph to 100 mph range. Plan B extends the evacuation
line to everything east of U.S. 1 and this is for a hurricane
with winds in excess of 111 mph.
iThere are no residents within the City of Dania living east of
the intracoastal waterway that would be affected by Plan A.
Plan B would affect approximately 4,000 residents of the
City. The proposed land use plan as it relates to the coastal
zone is not anticipated to have any particular impact as it
relates to hurricane evacuation.
2. Existing / Proposed Land Uses [9J-5.012(2)(e)]
The existing land uses within the coastal high hazard area
consist primarily of the Dania Beach area which includes the
fishing pier, public restrooms, and a small food
establishment which serves as a take-out business for
beach users.
I
3. Beach and Dune Systems [9J-5.012(2)(f)]
.-� The beach and dune system located on the Dania beach
area is in good condition. There has not been any
programmed rehabilitation of this particular beach, however,
John Lloyd State Park immediately north of the City and the
City of Hollywood Beaches immediately south have both had
restoration projects. A new restoration was planned for the
summer of 1989. The primary impact of the restoration will
J occur about a mile north of Dania Beach, but the responsible
I
3
agency, Broward County Environmental Quality Control
Board, indicates that Dania Beach will benefit from this work.
The Broward County Environmental Quality Control Board
does not feel that Dania is experiencing deterioration and
the beach ecosystem has been maintained in reasonable
good condition.
4. Public Access [9J-5.012(2)(g)]
Beach public access within the City of Dania is excellent as
there is a 26.5 acre beach front park available to all
residents. There is a substantial parking facility also
available and all facilities are open to the general public.
These areas also provide suitable scenic overlooks of the
beach area and public boat ramps/docks are available at
Houston Park for launching of small crafts. Houston Park
Marina is approximately 1 mile west of the Intracoastal
Waterway and situated on the Dania Cut-Off Canal. Dania
Beach also enjoys the fishing pier which has been in
existence for many years and is a popular spot for residents
and tourists alike.
5. Structures with a History of Repeated Damage
There are no structures with a history of repeated damage
damaged from the coastal storms.
i
6. Coastal or Shore Protection Structures
There are no coastal or shore protection structures currently
iin place in the City of Dania.
7. Infrastructure [9J-5.012(2)(h)]
The existing infrastructure within the coastal area of the City
of Dania consists of the following items:
{ a. U.S. 1 Federal Highway
This is an existing facility varying from four (4) to five
(5) lanes and has an existing right-of-way of 106 feet
which may be expanded.
4
_.I
I
b. Dania Beach Boulevard East of U.S. 1
- This is an existing facility varying from four (4) to five
(5) lanes that is located in an existing 110 foot right-
of-way.
C. S.E. Fifth Avenue
This is an existing two (2) lane facility that presently
exists from Sheridan Street on the south to Dania
Beach Boulevard on the north. This is a roadway with
expanded right of way which is anticipated to be used
by the City for drainage.
d. U.S. 1 / Dania Cut-Off Canal Bridge
e. Intracoastal / Dania Beach Boulevard Bridge
f. Intracoastal / New River Sound Bridge
g. Dania Cut-Off Canal
8. Beach and Dune Conditions
The City of Dania's beaches and dunes are not experiencing
any significant erosion or deterioration problems.
9. Hazard Reduction
' Because of the minimal development existing within the high
hazard area, there is no need to consider the relocation or
structural modification of the limited number of structures
within the high hazard area. Also, 100% of the area is
already under public ownership.
D. Marina Siting [9J-5.012(4)]
1. Dania does not participate in a County wide marina siting
plan.
2. Port Master Plan has been prepared by the Port Everglades
Authority and that entity will evaluate that document.

COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
CURRENT CONDITIONS
— [9J-5.012(2)(a)-(h)l
I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Coastal Management Element remains the same.
The following will compare the differences from the 1989 plan through
1995.
II. DATA AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS
A. COASTALZONEINVENTORY
Table I identifies the existing land uses within the coastal zone in
1985 and in 1995. In 1989 approximately 625 acres or 40% of the
- property was vacant compared to 491 acres or 32% today. In Flex
Zone 84, 122 acres (25%) of the vacant land lies east of SE 5th
Ave. This land has been purchased by Broward County as part of
West Lake Park, an environmentally sensitive wetland. In Flex
Zone 79, 251 acres are industrial and account for 51% of the total
vacant land.
I �
Table II identifies the vacant land by future land use type for 1989
and 1995. Vacant lands have decreased from 625 acres to 491
acres.
There still remains no conflict with shoreline uses as the beach
front remains public and is maintained as a recreational facility for
i the public.
The Coastal Resources Map indicates the coastal zone
boundaries, the water dependent and related areas, historic
structures, wetland vegetation and evacuation routes.
B. ESTUARINE CONDITIONS
No changes have occurred in estuarine conditions. The beach
area remains developed for recreation purposes and the traffic
circulation remains the same. A new water and sewer system was
installed in 1995 to support the newly constructed pier and
anticipated restaurant.

I
The Broward County Office of Emergency Preparedness is
still responsible for the preparation and implementation of a
hurricane evacuation plan for Broward County. During
Hurricane Andrew the City of Dania reacted in accordance
with this plan. The Coastal Resources Map indicates the
evacuation routes.
2. Existing/Proposed Land Uses
! The Existing land uses within the coastal high hazard area
still consist primarily of the Dania Beach area.
3. Beach and Dune System
The beach is not in need of renourishment at any time in
the foreseeable future. The existing dune system is in good
shape and is continually being upgraded and improved.
4. Public Access - No Changes

CONSERVATION ELEMENT
CONDITIONS AT ADOPTION
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose
The Conservation Element of the City of Dania is prepared to
provide a guide for the conservation, use, and protection of natural
resources within the City and immediately adjacent property.
i
B. Physiography
The City of Dania is situated in southeastern Broward County
which is the second largest county based upon population within
the State of Florida. The County consists of approximately 1,200
square miles; however, only the eastern third (414 square miles) is
considered within the planning or development area. Of the 414
1 square miles the City of Dania comprises approximately 5 square
miles.
II. DATA AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS (9J-5.013) (1) (a) (b) (c)
A. Water Resources
1. Surface Water
The Dania area is generally drained by the Dania Cut-Off
(C-11) canal which divides the City north and south. The C-
10 canal provides the major drainage conveyance primarily
serving the southern and western portions of the
community. C-10 ultimately discharges into the Intracoastal
and ultimately through Port Everglades inlet into the Atlantic
Ocean. Existing drainage in the City is adequate and as
development occurs each development is to meet drainage
improvement requirements in accordance with the
standards of the South Florida Water Management District,
Broward County Water Resources Management Division,
as well as the City requirements.
2. Flood Plains
The Flood Plains Map for Dania, which is prepared pursuant
to the National Flood Insurance Program, identifies areas
1
A
within the City that are subject to flooding for the 100 year
period.
Dania participates in the National Flood Insurance Program
of the U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development.
3. Ground Water
j The sub-surface strata below the City can be grouped into
three general categories: (1) Biscayne Aquifer, (2) The
Floridian Aquiclude, and (3) The Floridian Aquifer. The
Biscayne Aquifer is the unit closest to the surface and is
composed primarily of Palmico Sands, Miami Oolite,
Anastasia Formation and Fort Thompson Formation, The
Floridian Aquiclude primarily consists of impermeable strata
I which prohibits the intermingling of water between the
Biscayne Aquifer and the Floridian Aquifer which is beneath
the aquiclude. The Biscayne Aquifer is one of the most
productive water producing aquifers in the world. It has
been designated the only reliable source of drinking water
for all of Broward County and since 1979 has been
designated as the sole source of drinking water by the U.S.
j Environmental Protection Agency.
i
B. Flora and Fauna
I
Table I will provide a generalized list of the flora and fauna which
generally occurs within Dania. Table II will provide a generalized
list of the wildlife; however, there are no endangered animals or
plants within the community.
C. Wetland Communities
The remaining wetland communities within the City of Dania consist
of mangrove communities in the eastern fringes of the City.
j D. Air Quality
Due to the prevailing breezes occurring in southeastern Florida, the
air quality is generally good for the Dania area. While the
Comprehensive Plan provides for expansion of industrial
opportunities for the community, these will be light industrial/office
park type developments which will have minimal impacts on the air
quality.
2
I
E. Lakes and Minerals
All of the lakes occurring within the City are man made and have
been developed for providing fill for development or for providing
commercially valuable minerals.
F. Soil Erosion
At the present time the City of Dania is not experiencing any soil
erosion problems. Whenever soil erosion problems occur or a
situation arises which may indicate that soil erosion could
potentially occur, the Soil Conservation Service office is contacted
to provide proper planning to minimize any negative impact. Also,
the City in its review of site plans particularly for new lake
excavations insures that all sites are properly sloped and vegetated
as soon as possible after construction.
G. Fisheries, Wildlife, Marine Habitat, and Vegetative Communities
The existing mangrove communities east of S.E. 5th Avenue and
east of the airport do contain wildlife habitat.
Through proper site planning controls and mitigation of any impacts
to wetlands areas these habitats can be enhanced and provide for
a more suitable habitat for the propagation of a greater variety of
i
flora and fauna.
Manatees are generally found in the New River Sound estuary and
to a limited extent along Dania Cut-Off canal. They have no natural
predators. Manatees are protected under the Endangered Species
Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act but because of these
impacts by navigational uses a general decrease in the population
is expected.
H. Pollution Problems
There are no known pollution problems affecting existing natural
resources within the City of Dania. Hazardous waste are controlled
through the Broward County Environmental Quality Control Boards
adopted hazardous material regulations and storage tank
regulations.
i
I
3
I. Current and Projected Water Needs
As noted in the Potable Water Element, there exists adequate
capacity of both present and projected water needs for the build-
out of the community. These projections incorporate the
anticipated land uses within the City including the industrial
expansion. In addition, the City endorses the Broward County Raw
Water Regional System which is presently being implemented and
this will continue to ensure an adequate quality and quantity of this
resource.
The current and projected water needs and sources for the next
ten-year period based upon residential, commercial, industrial and
other uses is outlined below.

� The City of Dania is responsible to insure that adequate amounts of
local and community parks are available for the residents of the
1 City. Broward County is responsible for the provision of adequate
regional parks. Typically Broward County and the City are able to
obtain necessary park and recreational requirements through the
platting process. Meeting park and recreational requirements is
one of the service requirements which must be reviewed and
approved by the City and County before issuance of building
permits. Broward County requires 3 acres/1,000 population of
regional parks to comply with its standards. The City of Dania also
requires 3 acres/1,000 for neighborhood and community parks to
insure an adequate supply of recreational facilities for the residents
of the community.
Based upon the 1988 and 2010 population estimates of
approximately 12,000 residents, the City is responsible for the
provision of approximately 36 acres of neighborhood and
community parks. As noted on Table III there are presently in
excess of 60 acres of neighborhood and 88 acres of community
parks with a grand total of approximately 150 acres.
Accordingly, the City is in an excellent position regarding land
requirements for neighborhood and community parks for the
present and the year 2010.

RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
CURRENT CONDITIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
The following evaluation is intended to describe the state of the Parks and
Recreation facilities today as compared to 1989.
The Recreation and Open Space Map shows the existing facilities within
the City of Dania.
II. DATA REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.014(1)]
A. NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
1. Brooks Park (1.5 ac.)
This facility remains the same and mainly serves as a place
to rest and relax as residents observe the airport.
2. Northwest Park (1.5 ac.)
This park has been renamed to Southeast Garden Park.
New playground equipment including a play structure, swing
set and the refurbishing of the two tennis courts were
completed in 1995.
3. Airport 10 Park (1.3 ac.)
jThis 1.3 acre facility was leased to the city for as long as the
property was owned by the lessor. This park is no longer
leased by the city, however, a plat restriction requires the
park to be kept as open space, and is included in the
inventory.
4. Collins Elementary School (4.9 ac.)
Collins Elementary school has recently completed a
renovation to the school facilities. Improvements include
new class rooms and a new playground.
5. Modello Park (9.7 ac.)
Modello Park has under gone a face lift since 1989. The baseball
field was renovated to include new fencing, irrigation system,
lighting and concession stand in 1993. In 1995 the tennis court
Jwas converted to a basketball court due to the demand for
3
i
1 basketball, the existing two basketball courts were resurfaced and
new playground equipment was installed. The existing swimming
pool is being completely rebuilt and should be completed by the
end of this year.
6. Florida Audubon Society Property (2.9 ac.) - No Changes
7. Frost Park (10.1 ac.)
A new playground facility was constructed along with the
resurfacing of the tennis and basketball courts in 1995. In
1994 a jogging facility was completed.
8. Mullikin Park (1.0 ac.)
I This park was completely rebuilt in 1995 to include new
fencing, irrigation system, play structure, swings and tennis
court.
f 9. Boisey Waiters Park (3.2 ac.) - No Changes
I 10. Ely Boulevard Park (1.7 ac.)
Renamed to Chester Byrd Park in 1994 this facility is also
i undergoing renovation. New playground equipment and
swings were installed early in 1995. Currently, a new
irrigation system is being installed and new fencing and a
jogging/fitness trail have been added.
11. Dania Elementary School (2.6 ac.)
Dania Elementary school has recently completed the
addition of new class room space to their facility.
12. Southeast Park (10.0 ac.)
This facility, better known as the "Dania Salt Marsh", is a 10
acre wetlands area that is in the middle of West Lake Park
owned by Broward County.
13. Olsen Middle School (9.9 ac.)
Olsen Middle school also has completed renovations to it's
facility.

14. Sun Garden Isles Park (1.2 ac.)
This 1.2 acre park is located adjacent to the C-10 Canal. It
serves as a passive park and contains picnic facilities and a new
fishing deck. This park was left out of the 1989 plan by mistake.
B. COMMUNITY PARKS
I. Tigertail Park (39.3 ac.)
This facility was given to the City of Dania by Broward
County in 1993.
2. I. T. Parker (Houston Park) (22.3 ac.)
In 1994, a new boat docking facility was completed along
the Dania Cut-Off Canal.
3. Dania Beach Park (26.5 ac.)
In 1995, 11 new picnic shelters, two new play structures,
swings, a fitness center and a new fishing pier were
I completed.
Tables I and II have been revised to reflect the changes in Dania's
' park and recreation system since 1989. The following explains the
changes that have taken place since 1989:
Table I depicts the changes that have accrued in the parks and
recreation facilities. The number of ball fields, playgrounds
shuffleboard and pool facilities remains the same. A decrease in one
(1) tennis court is indicated. This tennis court was converted to a
basketball court at Modello Park due to the demand for additional
basketball facilities. Basketball courts increased by three (3), because
of a deletion in the 1989 data. Picnic facilities have increased due to
additions at six (6) park facilities. Two (2) paddle ball courts were not
included in the 1989 plan, along with the addition of a jogging path and
a fishing deck at two of the parks.
Table II reflects the changes in the Community Parks. Picnic
facilities have increased with the addition of new facilities at
Tigertail and Dania Beach Parks. One (1) boat ramp was added at
Tigertail Park and boating is permitted at all of the community
parks. Two (2) playgrounds have been added at Dania Beach Park
and a boat dock at Houston Park.
Table III indicates changes that came about because of errors in
the 1989 data.
-I 5
III. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.014(2)(a)]
A. NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
Based upon the current population, the city more than provides
sufficient neighborhood parks to serve it's population and that in
the foreseeable future.
B COMMUNITY PARKS
Based upon the current population the city more than provides
sufficient community parks to serve it's population and that in the
foreseeable future.
Based upon the 1990 census data, Dania's population is 13,024
residents. Using the formula of 3 acres of parks per 1,000
population, the city needs to provide 39 acres of recreational lands.
1 Table III indicates that the city currently has 61.4 acres of
neighborhood and 88.1 acres of community parks. The City of
1 Dania, for the foreseeable future, will not need to acquire any new
park land to meet the needs of it's future residents.
1 I Tables IV, V, and VI have not changed since 1989. Table VII has
been revised to reflect the amount of park acreage and facilities
needed for the existing 1990 population.
IV. SUMMARY
The state of the recreational facilities have improved in the City of Dania
by the physical improvements made to the various parks such as
resurfacing of the courts, replacement of the swimming pool, construction
of a new 900 foot fishing pier and additional picnic facilities at the various
parks. The City of Dania has more than an adequate amount of park
. . lands in it's inventory to cover additional population increases for the
future.

I. INTRODUCTION
This element sets guidelines and implementation standards to insure and foster the spirit
of cooperation among all parties affected by the actions of the City of Dania and by which
I
Dania might be affected.
II. DATA REOUIREMENTS
I
A. Overview [W-5.015(1)(a)j
The intergovernmental data requirements include the area of concern for
the City of Dania which represents the Cities of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale,
and Unincorporated Broward. The City of Dania is not adjacent to a County
line so this report will only be relative to Broward County. The following
. , governmental entities will be examined.

III. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS
i
A. Existing Coordination Mechanisms - Effectiveness [W-5.015(2)(a)]
I
The following will describe the effectiveness of the existing coordination
mechanisms which are presently in place.
I
1. State Agencies
a. Florida Department of Environmental Regulations (DER)
Primary interaction would be as it regards to any wetland
permitting that may be occurring within the City that would
need the review and assistance by the DER staff. Also, any
amendments to formal agreements related to potable water,
resource recovery, or other environmental regulations.
Interaction with the agency continues on an as needed basis
and response has been effective and satisfactory.
b. Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA)
1. Development of Regional Impact/Binding Letters
The coordination of these matters has been improved
substantially in the last few years.
i
2. Comprehensive Planning
The effectiveness of this system has been coordinated
in an effective fashion, considering the number of local
governments in the State. Some opportunities for
improvement in the comprehensive planning segment
will be addressed later in this report.
G. Florida Department of Professional Regulation (DPR)
It is an informal coordination effort that is handled on an as-
needed basis, and is working effectively in this manner.
d. Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services
(HRS)
This department's interaction with the City primarily relates to
the licensing of nursing homes within the community.
.r ✓ 3
i
Interaction between HRS and the City of Dania has worked
reasonably well.
2. Regional Agencies
a. South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
The City's Engineering Department in concert with the South
Broward Drainage District insures that the water management
plans are in conformance with City Code.
b. South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC)
The Regional Planning Council's primary role in the past has
been the coordination, review, and approval of all `
Developments of Regional Impact.
The SFRPC has provided exceptional guidance in monitoring
this program.
3. County Agencies
ja. Broward County Office of Planning (BCOP)
This agency is responsible for the review of plats for new
development within the County. The interaction with the City
is primarily with the Growth Management Department and the
coordination has been satisfactory to date.
i
b. Broward County Property Division (BCPD)
The primary interaction is with the Engineering and Growth
Management Department of the City with the petitioner
usually being a private party.
C. Broward County
Water Resources Management Division (BCWRMD)
The City insures that all future development conforms with the
requirements of the Broward County Water Resources
_. Management Division's standards and criteria. The
interaction with this office has been satisfactory to date.
4
L
1 d. Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
The City of Dania is represented on this organization's
Technical Coordinating Committee. The Growth
Management Department serves as the representative. This
group meets on a monthly basis and coordination has been
effective.
i
e. Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
The fire department is responsible for provision of EMS
services city-wide.
f. Broward County Planning Council (BCPC)
The agency interacts primarily with the City's Growth
Management Department to insure that the Certified Land
Use Plan for the City of Dania is in conformance with the
Broward County Land Use Plan. Coordination with this
agency has been effective.
i
g. Broward County Environmental Quality Control Board
} (BCEQCB)
The Growth Management Department for the City of Dania
insures that any projects proposed within this Agency's
jurisdiction are closely coordinated with that office to insure
proper protection of the natural resources.
4. Special Districts
a. Broward County League of Cities
I
The League of Cities serves as an effective lobbying group for
j all cities within the community. They meet on a monthly basis
and coordination and communication has been very good.
b. Broward County School Board (BCSB)
i
The Broward County School Board is responsible for public
schools within the community and is also responsible for
provision of public education grades K-12. The effectiveness
of this coordination with the School Board has been
satisfactory to date and there are no problems occurring.
J 5
i
C. South Broward Hospital District
Coordination and interaction with the South Broward Hospital
District has been extremely effective and is expected to
continue.
d. South Broward Park District
The South Broward Park District through an agreement with
the Broward County Commission was dissolved as of
October, 1988.
5. Cities
a. Unincorporated Broward
The primary interaction with unincorporated Broward has
been general planning issues and airport related issues. The
TAC has served as an effective means to coordinate planning
issues.
i
b. Hollywood
The City of Hollywood (201 Program) through an agreement
with the City Commission provides for the treatment and
disposal of all waste water for the City. This interaction has
worked very effectively.
I The balance of the agencies described in the data section of the analysis have
interacted on a infrequent basis. Coordination or need thereof has been minimal
and there have not been any serious problems with those agencies.
B. Opportunities for Improvement [9J-5.015(2)(b))
.1
1. Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA)
I
The Department of Community Affairs is responsible for the review
and approval of Comprehensive Plans and amendments thereto.
There is a need for closer interaction between the Tallahassee Office
and the local governments. The difficulty lies in the inability of the
State staff to have a good understanding of the local situation
including unique geographic and sociological concerns of the local
6
I
areas. The following suggests two ways to approach the problem
and they are as follows:
a. Establish a regional office and staff it with State personnel. Also,
the State staff would be able to become part of the Technical
Advisory Committee which is very active within Broward County.
b. It may be more appropriate to assign the appropriate Regional
Planning Council with the duty of serving as the State's liaison.
This would be a logical and immediate means to improve
coordination with the State.
2. South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC)
In the past couple of years, substantial improvements have occurred
in the efficiency of the Development of Regional Impact review
process including the monitoring of development orders and insuring
that conditions of approval are adhered to in accordance with
development orders.
The Regional Planning Council has also become very involved in the
Comprehensive Planning review and approval process and has
made an extra effort to interact with local governments in advance of
comprehensive plan development. This should help to eliminate
possible inconsistencies between the local plans and the Regional
Policy Plan.
C. Area of Concern / Regional Policy Plan [9J-5.015(2)(c)]
The area of concern for the City of Dania includes the City of Hollywood to
the east and south, Unincorporated Broward to the west and to the North
jboth Unincorporated Broward and the City of Fort Lauderdale.
A comparison has been made with the South Florida Regional Policy Plan
and this does not reveal areas which require additional planning
coordination to proper implement the Comprehensive Plan beyond that
f which is already incorporated into the City of Dania's Comprehensive Plan.
..i
D. ACSC [9J-5.015(2)(d)]
There is no ACSC within the area of concern for the City of Dania.

I
I
III. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS [9J-5.016(2)(a)&(f)]
To the extent possible the tables listed below have been revised to reflect the
1995 data. Due to the annexation of those areas west or Ravenswood Road, a
j majority of the tables could not be revised because there is no way to
separate the data.
i
A. Table II - No data available
B. Table III - Has been revised to reflect the actual funds and long-term
debt through 1994.
C. Table IV- No data available
D. Table V- No data available
lE. Table VI - Has been revised to reflect the actual operating costs through
the year 1991, the year of the annexation.
IV. SUMMARY [9J-5.016(2)(e)]
The 1989 plan identified the capital improvements needed to support the plan.
Since 1989, as reflected in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, other capital
improvements became apparent and were funded. The drainage improvements
have not been addressed to date, however, the need for these improvements
remain along with the water storage facility. In general, the city has made good
progress in it's capital programs with the exception of those mentioned above.

SOCIAL / ECONOMIC EFFECTS

,
i
PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPMENT; PHYSICAL DETERIORATION; LOCATION
OF LAND USES; AND SOCIAL / ECONOMIC EFFECTS 9J-5.0053 (a)(4)(a.-o.)
A. ACCURACY OF POPULATION PROJECTIONS
The population projections used in the plan were derived from a
combination of the U.S. Census Data (1980) and the Broward County
Office of Planning. Considering the 1990 data the city has almost
exceeded its population projections for the year 2010.
One of the major reasons for the deviation in the population projections
can be found in a review of Table XIII Housing Activity (Housing Element).
Between 1980 and 1987 only 69 single family homes were constructed
while from the period between 1988 to 1995, 424 units were built. A total
of 1,120 new units were built between 1998 - 1995.
At the same time that single family units were being constructed the
average household size increased. The household size was projected to
1.9 persons per unit. The 1990 census data places the average
household size at 2.24 persons per unit, again a reflection of the increase
{ in single family development.
The city can project future population by considering past building permit
activity on the area of vacant residential land. According the Vacant Land
fInventory there is approximately 122 acres of Low (5) land available for
single family development. Therefore, there is potential for an additional
610 units with a household size of 2.24 or 1,366 new residents at build out
for single family units. In addition there are 43 acres of Low Medium (10)
Residential and 37 acres of Median (16) Residential vacant land available
for development. There is a potential for an additional 1,032 units with a
household size of 2.24 or an additional 2,312 residents when the multi-
family units are completely constructed. This would amount to an
additional 3,678 people when residential development is completed.
As of 1991 the city annexed a large area that was not included in the
1989 plan. When the current plan is updated it is anticipated that
problems will arise in determining the actual population due to the
problem of comparing census data with municipal boundaries. The
census data (tracts) do not coincide with the new municipal boundaries.
- The city will use the 1990 census data as its base. Using new housing
start data from 1990 to the present, the city can determine the number
and type of residential units built. It may then apply the standard
anticipated persons to household type to project the actual city population.
The city needs to continually update the data so as to have the needed
information available and also needs to review the impact on services and
projected needs based upon the new population data.
B. RATE OF DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT
ACTUAL VS. ANTICIPATED RATE OF DEVELOPMENT
As indicated in the Housing Element the projected number of housing units
constructed by 1990 (7,699) has almost exceeded the projections through
the year 2010 which were 7,800 units. Even though the projections were not
valid the impact that this increased growth had on public facilities was minor.
The city had the infrastructure in place to handle any unanticipated growth.
At this time the impact of the newly annexed area has not been determined.
In order to evaluate and prepare an updated comprehensive plan the city will
need to determine the actual number and types of housing units already
constructed, the amount of existing commercial and industrial development
and prepare a vacant land inventory by type to determine the over all impact
on public facilities.
This will be a time consuming task that was not considered at the time of
annexation. It was assumed that Broward County could provide this data,
when in fact they can not. The city should begin this data gathering as soon
+ as possible.
C. CONCURRENCY ASSESSMENT
EFFECT OF CONCURRENCY
Upon adoption of the City Land Development Code, standards were
established as a guide to making a concurrency determination. Levels of
service were determined based on those adopted by Broward County for the
j following.
1. Potable Water
2. Wastewater
3. Drainage
4. Solid Waste
5. Recreation
6. Transportation
j -- Regional transportation is reviewed by Broward County.
i,
Regional transportation has had the greatest impact on the location of
development with Dania. Even though the land use plan indicates categories of
J
2
land development and their locations the actual pattern of
development has been determined by the regional transportation
system.
The development of vacant commercial properties along the over capacity
U.S. 1 (Federal Highway) corridor has been severely impacted by traffic
concurrency and virtually brought to a standstill. The redevelopment of
commercial facilities has continued, but was limited by traffic concurrency.
In may cases an existing building could be only replaced by a
development that created the same or less impact.
Residential development has occurred primarily along S.E. 5th Avenue
corridor, where previously approved developments had little or no impact
on the local and regional road system. Those developments that were
vested are continuing to be developed.
In 1995 Broward County adopted and implemented a transportation
concurrency exception area (TCEA) land use amendment that allows for
the development of infill properties even if the regional system is over
capacity. This new rule allows for the development of commercial,
industrial and residential development by contributing to the county mass
transit system. The City will need to amend its Comprehensive Plan and
Land Development code to reflect this new rule.
I
The other concurrency reviews are done by the city and have not had an
effect on the development of residential, commercial or industrial
properties because sufficient capacity is available.
D. LEVEL OF SERVICE/ MAINTENANCE ACHEIVEMENT
MAINTENANCE OF LOS STANDARDS
i
Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and the Land
Development Code, the City has been able to maintain its level of service
standards at their current levels. There has been no need to either
increase or decrease the LOS Standards based on development
pressure.
These standards may need to be evaluated during the Comprehensive
Plan update due to the newly annexed area. The City provides for all
public services in the annexed area except for water and sewer services.
The LOS standards set by Broward County for water and sewer may need
to be adopted if they differ from those of the City.
� � 3
i
E. PUBLIC FACILITY COORDINATION
COORDINATION OF DEVELOPMENT WITH SERVICES
All development are reviewed in terms of meeting concurrency
requirements for water, wastewater, drainage, solid waste, recreation and
transportation. The City of Dania, as stated earlier, has all of the water
and sewer infrastructure framework in place for the development of the
City. Developers are required to extend the water and sewer distribution
systems into their property to serve their development.
!
In the few isolated cases where the water and sewer distribution system is
not available the developer will be required to extend the system to the
property line. The developer then receives a credit against impact fees.
1 The City of Dania has adequate park acreage to meet ultimate build-out
projections but still requires parks to be dedicated or fees in lieu of
dedication for new residential developments.
F. REVENUES -ACTUAL / PROJECTED
ACTUAL VS. PROJECTED REVENUES / EXPENDITURES
The Capital Improvement Element, Table VII identified three (3) capital
improvements: 1) Infiltration/Exfiltration, with a budget of $35,000 each
year or a total of $175,000 was to have been spent from 1989 - 1994.
The study was completed and $800,000 has been expended for
associated repairs. 2) Repair and extensions to the potable waster
distribution system was included for 1990 at a cost of$200,000 along with
a new water storage tank at a cost of $300,000. The city has spent
$300,000 replacing parts of the old water distribution system. The water
storage tank has not been constructed due to budget constraints. 3)
Drainage and the replacement of the drainage pump station have been
funded. In some of the lower lying areas of the city flooding is a constant
problem and needs to be addressed by the city.
The city has budgeted for a study to create assessment district for Dania
in order to generate the funds necessary to resolve the drainage
problems. This program needs to be addressed in the Comprehensive
_..: Plan update.
I
I i
J
4
G. NEW REVENUE SOURCES
The creation of a special assessment district to complete necessary
capital improvements is one source that has gained momentum. In
addition to the imposing of a special assessment district for drainage
improvements the city is exploring the possibility of a special taxing district
for solid waste, emergency medical services and fire protection.
New sources of revenue need to be identified so that the unfunded capital
improvements may be completed. New capital improvements that may be
included in the comprehensive plan update should provide for a funding
source.
H. PUBLIC FACILITIES/INFRASTURCTURE - PHYSCIAL DETERIORATION
DETERIORATION OF PUBLIC FACILITIES
1. WATER, SEWER, AND DRAINAGE
1 The City of Dania is the oldest municipality in Broward County,
being chartered in 1904. As is to be expected, some of the
infrastructure is quite old and in need of repair. Knowing this, the
city has spent $800,000 studying and repairing the existing sanitary
sewer system and will continue to do so.
The city water supply distribution system is constantly undergoing
repair. Since 1989 the city has replaced 30,000 I.f. of water line at
cost of$300,000.
1
The drainage system in the city is inadequate to handle the run-off
generated by South Florida rains. This is not due to neglect, but
rather the lack of adequate regulations of the past when a vast
portion of the city was constructed. Recognizing the fact the city
did include drainage improvements in the 1989 plan, but
unfortunately funding never became available. The City has now
authorized a drainage study for the entire City in hopes of
developing a special assessment district for the city to generate the
funds necessary to upgrade the system.
2. PARKS AND RECREATION, PUBLIC BUILDINGS
As noted in the EAR, Capital Improvements section, the city has
expended 2.2 million dollars upgrading its parks and recreation
facilities. Three parks contain recreation buildings that are
outdated and need to be reconstructed. Funding sources have not
been identified for these upgrades. The city's other public buildings
are in sound condition for the purpose for which they are used.
- 5
i _
The city should consider in the Capital Improvements Element of
the updated plan a program for the improvement of these facilities.
I
3. ROADS
Dania, like all communities, has local streets in need of repair and
replacement. With the recent annexation of the western portion of
the city, it inherited a large section where paved streets do not
�l even exist.
4. SUMMARY
I
The city needs to update its Capital Improvement Element to
include all the above and other facilities such as a EMS/Fire
Station, Public Works Facilities, and Administrative Records
Storage. It also needs to prepare a long term capital improvement
budget, and find the funding sources necessary.
1. COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS - PHYSICAL DETERIORATION
Dania is the oldest community in Broward County and contains a number
of older structures. In the past five years several older buildings in the
downtown district have been renovated. In general there are very few
vacant buildings.
An old dilapidated industrial site of approximately 45 acres is in the first
stages of redevelopment. This site, previously known as the Lindsley
Lumber site, was contaminated and has since been cleaned up and is
now been planned as a 200,000 square feet retail facility and a 50,000
square feet museum.
The city will need to address this form of physical deterioration in the
Comprehensive Plan update.
J. HOUSING STOCK- PHYSICAL DETERIORATION
DETERIORATION OF HOUSING STOCK AND MOBILE HOMES
Knowing that Dania is the oldest City in Broward County, chartered in
1904, deterioration in the housing stock is to be expected. Table Vill
Standard/Substandard Housing Conditions (Housing Element) indicates
that since 1987 a total of 240 substandard housing units have been
eliminated. In the same time frame, a total of 245 housing units have
j been constructed as low and moderate income housing.
I _
6
tow
In 1987 the city had 60 acres of land developed as mobile home parks.
Today, due to the purchase of a 13 acre park by the airport for runway
expansion the city has only 47 acres remaining.
Most of the mobile home parks in Dania were built in the late 60's or early
70's and have developed as seasonal homes only, being occupies only 4
to 6 months a year. As can be expected, these homes have deteriorated
over the years.
The city needs to address this issue in the Comprehensive Plan Update
and identify the substandard mobile home units and plot a course of
action that will improve the situation.
Dania continues to make vast strides in the area of rehabilitation of its
housing stock. The Code Enforcement Division of the city has recorded
11,796 violations of property maintenance codes since 1991 and will
continue to try to improve the condition of its housing stock including
mobile homes.
K. DEVELOPMENT / INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT
The relationship of infrastructure(public facilities) and actual development
did not result in significant problems as all development is required to
meet concurrency requirements.
The City of Dania has all of the necessary framework of services in place
to provide for the ultimate build out of the city. Potable water and sanitary
sewer capacities are adequate and transmission line and distribution
systems are in place to accommodate growth. Police and fire services
along with emergency medical services are sufficient to handle any
emergency situation. The city's local road network has the capacity to
handle the future projected traffic volumes. Broward County reviews the
iimpact on the regional transportation system.
L. DEVELOPMENT LOCATION ASSESSMENT
As stated in the Housing Section of the EAR, Table XIV, the rate of
residential development exceeded the 1993 projection by 219 units and is
only 101 units less than that projected for the year 2010. Even though the
housing starts were more than projected, all of the necessary
infrastructure and public services were in place to service the increased
development.
I
7
There has been no evidence that the city's growth has created urban
sprawl, has created incompatible land uses, created any natural hazards
or endangered resources.
M. HIGH HAZARD ASSESSMENT
DEVELOPMENT IN THE COASTAL HIGH-HAZARD AREA
The City of Dania has approximately 26 acres of land that lies in the
coastal high-hazard area. All of this land is owned by the city and no
residential development is allowed. This area, known as Dania Beach
Park has been developed as a recreational facility and will remain as
such.
A commercial facility, developed through a lease agreement with the city,
is the only private development in the coastal high-hazard area.
Negotiations are underway to utilize this facility as a part of Florida
Atlantic University's Department of Oceanographic Engineering. No one
will reside in the coastal high-hazard area.
Broward County Office of Emergency Preparedness is responsible for the
preparation and implementation of the hurricane evacuation plan for
Broward County. The city should coordinate with the county any
additional evacuation measures that may be needed for this facility.
I
N. ENVIRONMENTAL SENSTIVE AREAS ASSESSMENT
IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVE AREAS
The Coastal Resources Map locates the wetlands communities within
Dania. Adequate provisions had been made to protect the lands. The
Broward County Office of Natural Resource Protection is charged with
overseeing the preservation of these lands. Dania relies on their
expertise to determine if development can occur in these areas.
The city has approximately 122 acres of identified wetland located
adjacent to and east of S.E. 5th Avenue. This land has recently been
acquired and incorporated into Westlake Park, a 1,400 acre wetland
preserve.
The City of Dania needs to amend its Comprehensive Plan to identify this
area as a park and wetlands area. It also needs to indicate the other
wetland areas indicated on the Coastal Resources Map in order to protect
them from any development. Land uses abutting these areas need to be
evaluated so as to minimize the impact that they might have on these
environmentally sensitive lands.

UNFORESEEN/UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS AND
OPPORTUNITIES
(9J-5.0053 (6)(a)(5))
I. PROBLEMS
A. FORT LAUDERDALE/HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
EXPANSION
The proposed runway extension for the south runway of the Ft.
Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport will have significant
social and economic impacts to the City of Dania. The acquisition
program includes 97 acres that was slated for employment-based
I land uses to supply a significant tax base for the City of Dania.
This property was acquired by Broward County in 1995 and was
removed from the tax rolls; therefore, it will no longer generate tax
i revenues for the City. Further, the City made significant
improvements to the water, sewer and roads in this area and that
investment will also be lost to the City of Dania.
jl The runway extension will also have impacts to the Melaleuca Isles
neighborhood with the increased frequency of airport take-offs and
landings resulting in increased noise in that neighborhood. There
is great concern that the runway extension will have a diminution in
the value of the properties in that area which would further affect
the tax base of the City.
In addition to the runway extension acquisition, Broward County
has also acquired the Trails End Mobile Home Park, which was
- slated for future commercial and industrial use on the City's land
use plan. This is another area of tax base loss which comprises a
total of approximately 15 acres of land.
B. NORTHWEST 10TH STREET
The extension of NW 10th Street into Port Everglades is
problematic as to whether it is a positive step for either Dania, its
related Seaport and International Airport. The Seaport has
opposed it in the past due to cargo security considerations, and the
Airport has expressed concerns over mixing heavy industrial traffic
with its terminal traffic.
i
r
I For Dania, our northern residential communities could be
negatively impacted as well as our US 1 corridor being overloaded
by cut through-south bound industrial traffic by passing the 1-595
interstate corridor connector.
II. OPPORTUNITIES
A. ANNEXATION AREA
The City of Dania annexed a large, approximately two square-mile
area generally west of Ravenswood Road, since the adoption of
the comprehensive plan. Approximately 4,000 people reside in this
area, and it also includes a variety of industrial and commercial
based activities. This is a large area of expansion to the
community and will be addressed in the updated comprehensive
plan.
1 B. BASS PRO
Recently the Bass Pro Corporation has selected Dania for the
development of a significant retail and exposition based facility,
highlighting the equipment and sales provided by the company.
This facility will have significant socio-economic impacts to the
community and will provide numerous employment opportunities,
as well as a significant tax base for the community. This
development is consistent with the comprehensive plan; however, it
represents a significant opportunity as Dania continues to grow and
develop.

�
REGIONAL PLANS
Rule 9J-5.0053(6)(a)(6), F.A.C. requires the FAR examine consistency with
State and Regional Plans. This section examines consistency of the Dania
Comprehensive Plan with changes to the State Comprehensive Plan, South
Florida Planning Council Regional Policy Plan, Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. and Chapter
163, F.S.
Chapter 163.3191 (1), F.S. states generally that the Evaluation and Appraisal
Report process shall be the principal method for updating local comprehensive
plans to reflect changes in state policy on planning and growth management.
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are identified below in response to
changes to the State Comprehensive Plan, Rule 9J-5 F.A.C., and Chapter 163
F.S. adopted after 1989.
I. Changes to State Comprehensive Plan since 1985
In 1989 the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) found the Dania
I Comprehensive Plan in compliance with all applicable requirements. This
compliance determination indicated the City Plan was consistent with the State
Comprehensive Plan (Ch. 187, F.S.). however, the State Comprehensive Plan
has been amended since the adoption of the 1989 Comprehensive Plan.
All relevant changes to the State Plan (insofar as they relate to the Dania Plan)
between 1985 and 1993 are addressed below:
Hazardous and Non Hazardous Materials and Waste (Ch 187,201 _(13)(b)F.S.)
has added new policies:
1. By 1994, reduce all volume of solid waste requiring disposal by 30
percent.
2. By 1994, provide all counties a countywide solid waste collection
system to discourage littering and illegal dumping of solid waste.
3. Initiate programs to develop or expand recyclable material markets,
especially those involving plastics, metals, paper and glass.
The reduction in volume of solid waste, provision for county-wide solid waste
collection system, and recycling are addressed in Objectives #1 and 2 of the
Solid Waste Sub-Element (Infrastructure Element). Please note: Broward
County has reduced its waste stream by 30 percent to the change in state law.
0
In addition, the Dania Comprehensive Plan is compatible with and furthers the w
Hazardous and Nonhazardous Materials and Waste goals and policies of the
State Comprehensive Plan. Therefore no changes are required in the Dania
Plan as a result of the amendment to Ch 187.201(130(b).
Downtown Revitalization (Ch. 187.20107) F.S.) has been added as a goal of the
State Plan:
(a) Florida shall encourage the centralization of commercial,
governmental, residential, and cultural activities within downtown
areas.
r
(b) Policies -
1. Provide Incentives to encourage private sector investment in
the preservation and enhancement of downtown areas.
II. Changes to the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP)
In 1989 the compliance determination issued by DCA regarding the Dania
Comprehensive Plan indicates that the City Plan was consistent with the
"Regional Policy Plan for South Florida". In 1991, the South Florida Regional
Planning Council adopted the :"Regional Plan for South Florida" (RPSF). All
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan since its adoption have been found to
be generally consistent with the 1991 RPSF.
In August 1995, the South Florida Regional Planning Council adopted a
"Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida" (SRPP). This newly adopted
plan replaced the :"Regional Plan for South Florida" (RPSF).
The most substantial policy changes between the 1991 RPSF and the new 1995
SRPP relate to natural resources, education and emergency management.
j (1) "Natural Resources of Regional Significance": The Dania Salt Marsh is a
"Natural Resource of Regional Significance". The Comprehensive Plan
contains goals, objectives and policies to maintain, conserve and preserve
this area (Conservation Element: Objective IV and V).
I

j _

(2) Education: The City of Dania has a limited role in furthering the education
i goals of the SRPP. Education is primarily the responsibility of Broward
I County School Board and various colleges and universities throughout the
region.
The School Board is currently developing a School Facilities Element which
is proposed to become a part of the Broward County Comprehensive Plan.
The City of Dania will continue to utilize existing coordination mechanisms
i to assist in the implementation of this element. In addition, the City's new
Intergovernmental Coordination Element will address school issues.
(3) Emergency preparedness and hurricane evacuation: Broward County is
designated by state law as the agency responsible for emergency
management. The City of Dania actively coordinates emergency
preparedness activities with Broward County (Coastal Element: Objective
V).
Each applicable goal of the "Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida" is
evaluated in the following table for consistency with the City's Comprehensive
Plan, specifically, the applicable objectives in the plan.
The table indicates the Dania Comprehensive Plan is compatible with and
furthers the goals and policies of the regional policy plan. Therefore, no changes
are required in the Dania Comprehensive Plan as a result of adoption of the
I "Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida".

III. Changes to Rule 9J-5, F.A.C.
"1 In 1989, the Dania Comprehensive Plan was consistent with Rule 9J-5, F.A.C.
Subsequent to adoption of the 1989 Dania Plan, Rule 98J-5, F.A.C. was
amended. The most significant Rule changes include concurrency management,
intergovernmental coordination, definition changes, and the requirement to
evaluate the Future Land Use Element to ensure that it discourages the
proliferation of urban sprawl.
Each relevant change to the Rule is reviewed in the following table for
consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Proposed Plan amendments resulting from changes in Rule 9J 5, F.A.C. are
identified in the Plan Amendments Section of the EAR.
VI. Changes to Chapter 163, Part 11, F.S.
In 1989 the City of Dania's Comprehensive Plan was consistent with Chapter
163, Part II, F.S.
Subsequent to adoption of the 1989 Dania Plan, Ch. 163, Part II, F.S. was
amended. All relevant changes to Chapter 163, Part II are assessed in the
following table for consistency with the Dania Comprehensive Plan.
Proposed Plan amendments resulting from changes in Chapter 163, Part II are
identified in the Plan Amendments Section of the EAR.

NEEDED ACTIONS
(9J-5.0053(6)(a)(7)(a-f))
A. POPULATION PROJECTIONS
The new population projections being utilized for the comprehensive
plan are those developed by the Broward County Department of
' Strategic Planning and Growth Management. These estimates have
been accepted by Florida DCA for utilization for local governments
within Broward County. The five-year and ten-year population
estimates for the City of Dania are as follows: year 2000 - 15,019, and
year 2005 - 16,214.
These population projections will be utilized in updating the
comprehensive plan in the amendment process which will be adopted
j by the Spring of 1997. They will also be utilized to update the data
and analysis sections. Throughout the EAR a comparison has been
identified for many of the tables within the land use; housing; and other
elements of the Plan which compare the previous adopted
comprehensive plan with the current ' conditions, and these
comparisons identify areas that will need to be addressed during the
plan amendment process.
I I
B. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
As noted throughout the EAR and particularly in the goals, objectives
and policies analysis section there will be several goals, objectives and
policies which will be analyzed during the plan amendment phase of
the project. The City will identify revisions as needed to update its
goals, objectives and policies consistent with the changing conditions
within the community and those required by changes in the rules.
I
C. FUTURE CONDITIONS MET
The EAR package includes updated future land use; future traffic
circulation; recreation and open space; coastal zone and wetlands
maps. These updates are based upon the additional available
information that was developed during the EAR analysis. Any future
plan amendments will be sensitive to the revised maps and the
population projections for the community.
�I
I �
The City will update its land use map, as appropriate, if the new
projections warrant an adjustment of the land use distribution.
i
D. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
During the development of the ERA process a couple of improvements
identified by the City in the current comprehensive plan were not
implemented. These include the implementation of drainage
improvements in the southeastern portion of the City with an
anticipated cost of$160,000.00 plus the storage tank for potable water
at a cost of between $200,000.00 and $400,000.00. These
improvements were not developed because of budget constraints and
the need to re-allocate money into other areas such as improvement of
certain park and recreational facilities during this time span. However,
a drainage study is scheduled to commence in 1996, and this would
be a city-wide drainage study which would outline the needs to
upgrade drainage throughout the community.
Plan amendments will address these capital improvements as well as
others that are required to meet the needs of the community as it
continues to grow and develop. One area of particular interest will be
the annexed area west of community and the capital improvement
needs of that area as it is incorporated into the comprehensive plan.
Some of the issues that will be occurring in the annexed area include
the installation of water and sewer service; street improvements (in
many cases full streets are not currently existing) and various public
building needs to serve the area, such as a fire station.
E. MONITORING/EVALUATION
The City has found that evaluating the comprehensive plan every five
years is adequate given the rate of growth occurring in the community.
However, the Growth Management department will prepare periodic
reports concerning the building permit activity in this City. The
information contained in these reports will provide useful information
for future evaluation and appraisal reports.
I .I
I The City has developed and implemented monitoring enhancements
such as monthly building permit reporting which includes value of
building permits, and these are utilized to help guide the development
i of the City and balance of growth within the community. The
monitoring and evaluation procedures that are currently in place, which
! include the concurrency review for all new developments according to
Jthe Land Development Code, and the City's comprehensive plan and
' � 2
other review requirements of the community adequately address the
general need for monitoring of the comprehensive plan within the City.
F. OTHER STUDIES
A couple of studies may be appropriate for the City to address in the
coming years. This includes the drainage study which is currently
scheduled to occur in 1996. As indicated in previous sections of this
report, drainage improvements are needed in older portions of the
City. The City will conduct a comprehensive drainage study to identify
the improvements necessary to correct existing deficiencies. The
i identified improvements will be evaluated and prioritized for inclusion
in the Capital Improvements Element. The City may also assess the
impact of the airport acquisition on the community's tax base and its
socio-economic impacts to the population. The third area of study will
be the development of the Redevelopment Plan consistent with
Chapter 163 Florida Statutes to assist implementation of that
component of the City's comprehensive plan.

PLAN AMENDMENTS
(W-5.0053(6)(a)(8)(a))
A. ANNEXED LAND
I
As noted previously, the City annexed approximately two square miles
of land immediately west of the community. This area will be
incorporated into the comprehensive plan amendment that will be
adopted in the Spring of 1997. The plan amendment will require the
separating of data and analysis currently existing within the
Unincorporated Broward Plan into sub-components that would be
consistent with the annexed area. It will be rather time-consuming to
develop a great deal of this information. At this time the annexed land
is intended to be incorporated into the City's comprehensive plan with
i the same land use designations that currently exist on the
Unincorporated area land use plan map.
B. CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
The City will also be updating its comprehensive plan to incorporate
the certification requirements of the Broward County Planning
Council. Certain required revisions to the goals, objectives and policies
of the City's plan are required by Broward County in order to fully
certify the City's plan. The plan amendment that will be adopted in
Spring of 1997 will incorporate all the certification requirements of the
Broward County Planning Council, which is the agency charged with
administering the Broward County Land Use Plan.
C. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
As outlined throughout this report, and particularly in the section which
analyzes the plan's objectives, the City will be updating and
reevaluating the current goals, objectives and policies as it develops
the plan amendment for adoption in the Spring of 1997. These
amendments to the goals, objectives and policies will also incorporate
any needed changes required by amendments to the State Plan,
Regional Plan, 9J-5, and Chapter 163, Florida Statutes as noted in
previous sections of this document.
j Objective III of the Drainage will be revised in the Plan Update section
to state 250' versus 100'.
I ,
Objective II of the Capital Improvements Element will be modified in
the Plan Update section to specify measurable targets by which the
Objective can be measured, as required by Rule 9J-5.0053(6)(a)3.
-�� D. UPDATE DATA/
-' The plan amendment will also update the data and analysis sections of
the current comprehensive plan. This would include an update of the
j population projections as well as the capacity of services within the
community including water, sewer, parks and recreation, solid waste,
I
conservation and coastal resources.
The five (5) and ten (10) year population projections that will be used
in the plan are 15,019 (year 2000) and 16,214 (year 2005). These
projects will be utilized to determine the level of service standards and
infrastructure needs for the community.
j E. URBAN INFILL
I
� Broward County recently enacted a Transportation Concurrency
Exception Area (TCEA) which affected all of the City of Dania. The
City of Dania will develop an urban infill TCEA amendment consistent
with the Broward County amendment for incorporation into the City's
plan. The essence of this amendment is to encourage infill
development and enhance the mass transit system as a means of
meeting the concurrency requirements within this area.
F. ICE AND TRANSPORTATION UPDATE
The City will also be developing the Intergovernmental Coordination
Element and updating the Transportation Element which is required
under State Statute. These elements are intended to be adopted by
April 1997, as required by the EAR process. The City will work closely
with all adjacent governments including the South Florida Regional
Planning Council in the development of the ICE Element to ensure
compatibility with all local governments.
During the Plan Update, the City will analyze traffic circulation levels of
service and system needs based upon accident frequency that may be
available for the City of Dania. The Plan update will also address the
j need for the new facilities or expansions as required by Rule 9J-5.007
(2)(a). The Plan update will also provide an analysis of projected
AI levels of service and system needs based upon the Future Land Use
Map and addressing the need for the facilities or expansions required
_1
by Rule 9J-5.007(2)(b).
JThe City recognizes that the new requirements for the transportation
element focus on linking land use and transportation planning
2
A
-• processes as well as placing a strong emphasis on transit facilities.
Broward County is responsible for regional roads in the area as well as
the provision of transit facilities. At this time, the County is considering
the establishment of a regional transit authority along with Dade and
Palm Beach Counties. During the plan update, the City will coordinate
with Broward County in order to develop a local transportation element
that is consistent with the County's efforts. Coordination mechanisms
such as the MPO and TCC are currently in place and will be utilized
during the plan update process.
The City will also incorporate any Eastward Ho related land use plan
amendments that are determined to be appropriate for the City. The
City's land use element currently incorporates several provisions that
promote mixed land uses. Plan amendments are anticipated to
enhance these provisions and encourage developments that can
support transit service.
I '
G. COASTAL MANAGEMENT
Revisions to Rule 9J-5 modified the definition of coastal high hazard
area to include those areas located in the evacuation zone for a
Category 1 Hurricane. There is no distinction between the category 1
and 2 hurricane evacuation zones within the City of Dania. In Dania,
the newly defined Coastal High Hazard Area includes all of the land
area located east of SE 5 Avenue / 14 Avenue. The coastal high
hazard area, as identified in the current plan, is limited to the land
located east of A1A. As a result of this change in definition, plan
amendments will be required to add approximately 407 acres to the
coastal high hazard area. Of the 173 acres of vacant land added to
the coastal high hazard area, only 26 acres (15%) are developable.
The remaining acreage has been purchased by the public for
preservation or will be restricted for development based on Broward
County Department of Natural Resource Protection regulations due to
the existence of wetlands. Public investment in the newly defined
coastal high hazard area is limited to roadways, bridges and utility
lines. There are no public utility plants, public service buildings or
hospitals located within the coastal high hazard area.
The City has not met its objective to prepare a post disaster
redevelopment plan by 1991. This objective will be reestablished
during the plan amendment process. Broward County is embarking on
a county-wide post disaster redevelopment plan and the City
anticipates coordinating its post disaster redevelopment planning
efforts with that of the County. Existing intergovernmental coordination
mechanisms such as the League of Cities Technical Advisory
I �
A
1 Committee will be used to facilitate coordination of these planning
efforts. Due to the limited public facilities in the coastal high hazard
area, it is not anticipated that major policy changes will be required as
a result of the post-disaster redevelopment planning efforts. However,
following a complete analysis of the existing improvements in the area
and any damage due to previous storms, the City will evaluate the
need to additional policies to protect the coastal high hazard area.
H. NEW DEFINITIONS
Several new or revised definitions have been incorporated in Rule 9J-
5. The need for amendments to the plan related to the new definition
of coastal high hazard area is discussed above. The term urban
j sprawl is anticipated to have a significant impact on many
communities. However, Dania is located in the eastern, developed
portion of Broward County. The corporate limits for the city do not
extend west of SR 7. In addition, all of the land area in the City is
located within the Broward County Urban Infill Transportation
Concurrency Exception Area. Therefore, the new definition for urban
sprawl will not impact the City of Dania.
I. HOUSING ELEMENT
Amendments to Rule 9J-5 require that local governments address the
housing needs of very low income households. Of the vacant land in
the City approximately 207 acres is designated residential on the land
use plan. Over 40% of this residential, vacant land in the City,
approximately 207 acres is designated residential on the land use
plan. Over 40% of this residential, vacant land is designated for
densities of 10 dwelling units per acre or greater. Therefore, additional
land area exists to accommodate residential units for very low income
households. In addition, approximately one-half of the existing
dwelling units are comprised of multi-family units and mobile homes.
1990 Census data also indicates that approximately 25% of the
housing stock in the City of Dania is valued below $60,000 as
compared to 13% countywide. Finally the median value of dwelling
units in the City is $84,600 which is almost $7,000 less than the
countywide median.
_I
Further analysis is required in order to determine if plan amendments
are required to meet the housing needs of very low income
i households. However, readily available data indicates that the City of
Dania currently provides a substantial amount of affordable housing.
