A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA
BEACH, FLORIDA, OPPOSING THE POTENTIAL ACQUISITION OF THE
VILLAGE MARINA PLAT SITE IN DANIA BEACH BY BROWARD
COUNTY (PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1540 GRIFFIN ROAD, NORTH SIDE
OF GRIFFIN ROAD, EAST OF I-95 ALONG THE DANIA BEACH CUT-OFF
CANAL); PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Dania Beach City Commission has approved a site plan and associated
delegation request for the proposed construction of a 419 room hotel, 130,000 square foot office
building and a 74-slip marina for property located at 1540 Griffin Road, known as the Village
Marina Plat site (037-MP-85); and
WHEREAS, the previous property owner has lost the property through foreclosure, prior
to the delegation request being approved by the Broward County Commission; and
WHEREAS, a portion of the property lies within the Runway Protection Zone for Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport; and
WHEREAS, the Broward County Commission will consider at its January 25, 2011
meeting, whether to acquire the site; and
WHEREAS, the Village Marina Plat site is a valuable commercial site that is located
with easy access to and high visibility from Interstate Highway 95; and
WHEREAS, the property tax revenue generated for the City of Dania Beach by this site
is currently $26,839.00, and acquisition of the property by Broward County would remove the
property from the tax rolls resulting in a loss of revenue to the City; and
WHEREAS, the Hilton Hotel located west of the site is scheduled to be demolished in
2013, which will result in the loss of approximately $126,000.00 in property tax revenues
annually and a number of jobs; and
WHEREAS, acquisition of the Village Marina site would eliminate the opportunity for a
signature "front door" development at the 1-95/Griffin Road intersection, after demolition of the
Hilton Hotel, depriving the City of generating higher property tax revenues and the creation of
new jobs; and
WHEREAS, the site is adjacent to the Community Redevelopment Agency area
("CRA") and would provide a natural extension to the commercial activities provided through
the CRA Redevelopment Plan's implementation strategies; and
WHEREAS, the emphasis of the City and the CRA on the marine industry and the jobs it
provides would also be adversely affected by the elimination of commercial property that is
adjacent to the Dania Cut-off Canal;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals contained in the preamble to this Resolution are
incorporated by this reference.
Section 2. The City Commission of the City of Dania Beach opposes acquisition of
the site by Broward County due to the harmful potential economic impacts upon the City.
Section 3. That all resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict with this Resolution
are repealed to the extent of such conflict.
Section 4. This Resolution shall be in full force and take effect immediately upon its
passage and adoption.
PASSED and ADOPTED by the City Commission of the City of Dania Beach, Florida
on November 23, 2010.
