2. Ordinance #2011-017
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, TO AMEND THE CODE OF ORDINANCES
BY CREATING CHAPTER 16 "VACATION RENTALS" OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, IN ORDER TO
PROVIDE FOR REGULATIONS OF "VACATION RENTALS" AS DEFINED WITHIN HOUSE BILL 883;
PROVIDING FOR A MINIMUM REQUIRED RENTAL PERIOD; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (FIRST
READING)
City Attorney Ansbro read the title of Ordinance #2011-017.
Susan Trevarthen, Esq., AICP, Weiss Serota Helfman Pastoriza Cole & Boniske, P.L., advised
even though the title is "vacation rentals", it is about the use of short term rental dwellings; the
area of preemption being applied is much broader than this ordinance. She noted many coastal
communities have adopted various regulations to insure the conflicts that exist are addressed by
their codes. Ms. Trevarthen explained the provisions of the ordinance and noted the proposed
ordinance prohibits the rental of property for less than 5 days, and regulates the period between 1
week and 1 month.
Vice-Mayor Grace said she asked for a list of other cities that adopted the ordinance, and she
noticed the other cities ordinances are more restrictive than our proposed ordinance. She
commented that we do not have a lot of problems in Dania Beach, but that is not to say that we
may not have problems in the future.
Vice-Mayor Grace motioned to approve Ordinance #2011-017, on first reading; seconded
by Commissioner Castro. The motion carried on the following 5-0 Roll Call vote:
Commissioner Castro Yes Vice-Mayor Grace Yes
Commissioner Duke Yes Mayor Flury Yes
Commissioner McElyea Yes
