DEMOLITION OF DESIGNATED HISTORIC PROPERTIES; ADOPTING AMENDMENT 3
RELATING TO AD VALOREM TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR QUALIFIED HISTORIC
PROPERTIES AS PROVIDED IN THE FLORIDA STATE CONSTITUTION AND BY THE
FLORIDA LEGISLATURE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Section 1. Intent
(A)The City of Dania Beach's city commission finds that there are buildings within the city
that have specific architectural,historic,or aesthetic significance,and that the loss of these buildings
would cause an irreplaceable loss to the people of the city of the aesthetic, cultural, and historic
values represented by such sites. It is hereby declared as a matter of public policy that protection,
enhancement,perpetuation,and use of such sites of special historic or aesthetic interest or value is a
public necessity and is required in the interests of the health, prosperity, safety, and welfare of the
people.
(B) The architectural and historical significance of the city has been established through an
inventory and field survey of historic standing structures, the documentation and preparation of a
Florida Site File for each historic property in the city,and the preparation of an historic architectural
report of the city's historic resources.
(C)The City of Dania Beach contains a small,but distinctive collection of historic buildings
developed between c. 1905 and the 1940s with architectural styles and influences including but not
limited to Bungalow, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Minimal
Traditional, Moderne, Mission, and various Frame, Industrial, and Masonry Vernacular forms.
(D) The historic architecture of the city has been achieved over time, and the growth and
development of the city is worthy of protection.This ordinance seeks to maintain and preserve what
is unique to the city by managing future growth and development that is incompatible with the
surrounding buildings and assure that changes within the city will be compatible with the historic
character of the buildings and environment of the city.
(E)The recognition,protection,enhancement,and use of such resources is a public purpose
and is essential to the health, safety,morals, and economic,educational,and cultural welfare of the
public, since these efforts result in the enhancement of property values, the stabilization of
neighborhoods and commercial area of the city,the increase of economic benefits to the city and its
ORDINANCE NO. 2000-037
inhabitants, the promotion of local interests, the enrichment of human life in its educational and
cultural dimensions serving spiritual as well as material needs,and the fostering of civic pride in the
accomplishments of the past.
(F)The city commission desires to take advantage of all available state and federal laws and
programs that may assist in the development or redevelopment of the City of Dania Beach,including
but not limited to Amendment 3 of the Florida State Constitution.
(G) The federal government and the State of Florida have established programs of matching
grants-in-aid for projects having as their purpose the preservation for public benefit of properties that
are significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, and culture.
(H) There are other federal programs providing monies for projects involving the
rehabilitation of existing sites, buildings, structures, and objects.
(I) The policy of the City of Dania Beach is to conserve the existing housing stock and
extend the economic life of each housing unit through the rehabilitation of such units under housing
and neighborhood development programs in selected areas.
(J) Inherent in the enactment and implementation of these federal mandates is the policy of
• the United States government that the spirit and direction of the nation are founded upon and
reflected in its historic past; that the historical and cultural foundations of the nation should be
preserved as a living part of our community life and development in order to provide a sense of
orientation to the American people; that in the face of the ever-increasing extensions of urban
centers, highways, and residential, commercial, and industrial developments, the present
governmental and nongovernmental programs and activities are inadequate to ensure future
generations a genuine opportunity to appreciate and enjoy the rich heritage of our nation.
(K) It is the will of the people of the State of Florida as expressed in Article II, Section 7 of
the 1968 Constitution, that the state's natural resources and scenic beauty be conserved and
protected.
(L) It is the will of the State Legislature as expressed in Chapter 267 of the Florida Statutes
that the state's historic sites and properties, buildings, artifacts, treasure troves and objects of
antiquity which have scientific or historic value, or are of interest to the public, be protected and
preserved.

cultural, and general welfare of the public through:

whether the landmark can be put to reasonable beneficial use without the approval of the
demolition application. In the case of an income-producing building, the commission
shall also determine whether the applicant can obtain a reasonable return from his
existing building. The commission may ask applicants for additional information to be
used in making these determinations including,but not limited to,evidence that the plans
for a new building on the site will be implemented. If the applicant fails to establish the
lack of a reasonable beneficial use or the lack of a reasonable return, the commission
shall deny the demolition application.
2. The commission may grant a certificate of appropriateness for demolition even though

properties.

owner may appeal the commissions' decision on an application for a certificate of
appropriateness to the city commission.The city commission shall approve,approve with
modifications, or disapprove the application within sixty(60)days after the filing of the
appeal.
(J) Emergency conditions: Designated properties.

dangerous to life, health or property affecting a landmark or a landmark site, he may order the
remedying of these conditions without the approval of the commission or issuance of a required
certificate of appropriateness. The chief building official shall promptly notify the mayor of the
action being taken.

in order to provide time to negotiate with the property owner to remove the threat to the property;
during this time, the commission shall seek alternatives that will remove the threat to the property.
