and motioned. This was seconded by Chair Robertson. Motion passed 4-0. (Board Member Granett
was elected Vice Chair and declared Vice Chair by acclamation.)
IV. QUASI JUDICIAL/ PUBLIC RECORDS/ SUNSHINE TRAINING
City Attorney Boutsis explained that there were a lot of slides and she would email the entire presentation
to the board members. She would only go over some of the slides this evening as there seemed to be too
much information for tonight but good for the board members to read. The following was a summary of
discussions which were not limited to what was typed. As the City Attorney was going through the slides,
she said that the Code of Ethics included board members not just commissioners and employees. Most
relatively, as a board member, know that you should not accept gifts from developers or anyone because it
could be perceived as the board member was “selling their vote”. The other was to not misuse your public
position by things like a conflict of interest, voting conflict, etc. She explained that this was an “advisory
body” and described what that entailed. She said that a board member did not want to breach the public
trust. She spoke about disclosing (Jennings – Disclosures / ex-parte communication either written or verbal
and the difference between the two), when to not vote, filling out the proper form timely, etc. She described
penalties, if there was a violation. She explained the definition of gifts and went over some of them and
reporting a gift plus the exceptions to the gift rule. She explained who would be considered a relative for
the purpose of a gift. A board member could not ask for gifts, could not take a bribe, etc. She gave the
definition of lobbyists and vendors.
City Attorney Boutsis explained that this board was an advisory board as well as quasi-judicial and
explained what that meant. As an example, they were like judges and juries and no one could contact the
judge or the jury outside of the room where the evidence was presented. Amongst others, the public was
allowed to speak and present evidence at the meeting. She explained how a meeting would be held starting
with the presentation from Staff (considered expert witnesses) who would give their analysis and make a
recommendation (the competent substantial evidence has to be fact based). Then the developer or maybe
an attorney would speak, etc. The attorney could be giving their own opinion and not necessarily the facts.
Facts presented for them would come from sources like a traffic expert or a planner they hired, etc. Then
there would be public comments. To be quasi-judicial, there had to be notice of the meeting, opportunity
to speak (developer and public at large), evidence to support the position (competent and substantial), etc.
The correct law needed to be applied by the City. Simply not liking the project was not fact-based evidence
but just an opinion. The City Attorney explained that if something did transpire “outside of the court room”
like someone telling you about a project that would come in front of the board, that must be disclosed. She
explained how that has to be handled and what could happen if that was not disclosed and someone found
out about that.
City Attorney Boutsis then went onto the Sunshine Law which was similar to whatever was done by the
board had to happen “inside the room”. For example, board members could go out to lunch together but
could not talk about projects in front of them. In other words, everything was exposed to the “sunlight”
and not “behind a curtain”. Do not talk business anywhere except at a meeting. Basic tenets of Sunshine
was a noticed meeting, opportunity for speaking (e.g., public comments), and minutes of every board
meeting. She then discussed Public Records by describing everything as a public record unless there was
an exception. The board members were responsible for emails that came to them, any documents given to
them by the public, as they were their own record custodian and the City Attorney said what had to be done
with the records. She suggested that board members keep a separate email address for themselves as board
members. These emails could not be deleted and must be kept for the length of tenure on the board. Then
forward them all to the Clerk. Board members must remember that sending a mass email to all the other
Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Minutes 3 February 19, 2025
board members was technically a violation of Sunshine because it was communicating to each other outside
of the Sunshine. Staff members were allowed to blind copy each of the board members in a single email
but board members could not write a single email and blind copy other board members. Having an email
address for yourself as a board member would mean that your personal and/or business emails should not
have to be searched through for board member business. Phone numbers were public records so give the
City a phone number that could be given out. Things like voice mail and text messages were also public
record. Public Record Requests were to be taken seriously and the requester did not need a relevant motive
for their request. There were some confidential and exemption reasons for not supplying public records
and she explained them. The City Attorney would help board members through the public records process,
if they received a public records request. City Attorney Boutsis went over Social Media. She recommended
not talking about Planning and Zoning business on that platform and explained why.
City Attorney Boutsis then went over Parliamentary Procedures. The Chair ran the meeting, if a quorum
was present. The Chair decided who got to speak first or second, etc. and should control the decorum like
no one should raise their voice or talk over another person. After the City and then the Developer spoke,
the Chair opened the floor to public comments usually giving three minutes to speak. When that was closed,
the Board would discuss and could ask questions of the City, Developer, and/or the Public. The Chair
would then ask for a motion or could make a motion. Once it was made, it should be seconded or it would
die. Then there was board discussion and everyone could get to speak at least once. Finally the question
was called (meaning voting time).
Board Member De Las Salas asked the Parliamentarian, City Attorney Boutsis, if the applicant was an LLC,
did the board get information as to whom the managing members were? City Attorney Boutsis inquired if
City Code required the disclosure as to who was in the corporation, the principals of the corporation or an
LLC. As no one could answer now, it was decided to look into this. Perhaps an amendment needed to be
made because board members would have to know who those people were in order to know if they have a
conflict of interest. The City would look into this and maybe having to update the Code. With no other
questions or comments, the next agenda item was called.
V. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
1. Approval of Minutes of the Planning and Zoning Board / Local Planning Agency from the
September 18, 2024 regular meeting.
Motion was made by Chair Robertson to approve the minutes of the meeting of the Planning and Zoning
Board/Local Planning Agency for September 18, 2024 as presented and was seconded by Vice Chair
Granett.
For Discussion:
Board Member Wright asked about voting on minutes for a meeting he did not attend and City Attorney
Boutsis explained why he needed to vote.
Motion passed 4-0.
VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. SP-001-22MOD/(OT-085-23)): The applicant, Seagate II, LLC, is requesting a Site Plan
Modification and Design Variation approval to adjust the square footage for dwelling
units and to reconfigure parking on the property at the Southeast corner of Phippen-
Waiters Road and SW 7th Terrace.
City Attorney Boutsis reminded about the quasi-judicial public hearings and that she had to swear in
anyone who would be testifying/speaking on this agenda item and the following. Everyone
testifying/speaking on agenda items was then sworn in. She also called for board member (ex-parte
communication) disclosures but she first asked the applicant since this was an LLC, who the principles
were in the LLC so there would be no conflicts. The applicant stepped up to the microphone and introduced
himself, Jeffrey Beck, and testified that he was the only principle. The City Attorney further asked if anyone
Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Minutes 4 February 19, 2025
has received any communications outside of this meeting from the applicant or anyone in the public relating
to this application? There were no disclosures made.
PZ Senior Manager Batista gave a PowerPoint presentation for the property located at 717 Phippen Road.
She showed the location of the property on a location map. This project was already approved in June of
2022 for four units and seven parking spaces. The applicant then came back with a request for a
modification of the previously approved design to reconfigure parking and to have better traffic circulation.
There was also a design variation request to allow landscape in lieu of a street wall to shield vehicular use
areas as required by Land Development Code (LDC) Section 307-20(G). The site plan modification was
to adjust the square footage per unit and reconfigure the parking stall location. The Senior Manager showed
the previously approved Site Plan and then showed the proposed Site Plan explaining the unit sizes in both
the first and second floors. She showed a slide of the existing property right now. All details were provided
in the Staff Report. This item went in front of the Development Review Committee (DRC) once in
November 2023 and then in January 2024. The DRC Comments were listed as conditions for approval.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant had to answer outstanding staff comments. She
informed that this development project expanded the City’s tax roll. The applicant sent out letters on
December 18, 2024 to notify about the proposed modifications. The City has not received any objections
to this project. Staff’s recommendation was for the Planning and Zoning Board to approve the Site Plan
Modification as well as Design Variation for the project with the remaining DRC Comments as a condition
for approval.
Chair Robertson clarified that everything was approved before but they improved the site. Senior Manager
Batista said that this was all done at the applicant’s request. Board Member Wright asked if this area was
prone to flooding in a normal, heavy South Florida rainstorm. Chair Robertson said that this property was
near the railroad tracks which was usually not prone to flooding. Jeffrey Beck testified that the Civil
Engineer did all of the calculations (drainage, stormwater, etc.) and everything was reviewed regarding the
flooding concerns. He said this was an area that did not normally flood. Director Norena said this property
was not in a flood zone. Director Norena said that when the Stormwater Master Plan was completed for
the City, the locations potentially at risk would be identified. All stormwater had to be maintained onsite
through the development of the project. Mr. Beck did not have a presentation but was available for
questions. The Chair called for public comments but there were not any.
Motion was made by Board Member De Las Salas to approve this agenda item (SP-001-22MOD/OT-
085-23) with remaining DRC Comments as conditions for approval and was seconded by Vice Chair
Granett.
For Discussion:
Board Member Wright observed that this was four units which should be for eight cars. What would they
do about parking for the eighth car and parking for visitors? Jeffrey Beck answered that in the Mixed Use
area, it was calculated at 1.75 which came to seven cars for four units. There was on-street parking available
for visitors.
Chair Robertson asked City Staff to confirm that seven cars met City Code and Deputy Director Lajoie
confirmed that seven cars met City Code for this project.
Motion passed 4-0.
2. RZ-007-22/OT-008-22: The property owner, BCDD Oaks Place LLC, is requesting
Rezoning from Single Family District (RS-6000) to Planned Residential Development
District (PRD-1) and the allocation of eight (8) flexible units for the property located at
5571 SW 40th Avenue.
REMOVED FROM THE AGENDA
Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Minutes 5 February 19, 2025
3. TX-040-24: The applicant, the City of Dania Beach, is requesting several text
amendments to the City’s Code of Ordinances, Land Development Code (LDC).
Deputy Director Lajoie presented this item with a PowerPoint presentation. She explained the background
material as the City approved the new Land Development Code (LDC) in 2010 which was referred to as
OneCode. The problem was that it contained scrivener’s errors, inaccuracies and was vague. It also has
imprecise or ambiguous language. Regulations become antiquated over time unless they get updated
periodically. She walked through what the amendments were that would be fixed - Green Design Practices,
Off-Site Parking Facilities, Street Landscaping and Hardscaping, PMUD-SL Development Requirements,
Temporary Signs, Definitions and Term Usage, and Stormwater Drainage. Because this was an ordinance,
it required two public hearings by the City Commission. Staff was recommending that the Planning &
Zoning Board recommend approval to the City Commission.
Board Member De Las Salas pointed out that for the changes for Green Design Practices, the language for
dual-flush toilets was stricken (removed) instead of underlined (added) and it should be the opposite way.
There were no public comments and no other board discussions.
Motion was made by Board Member De Las Salas to correct the language for Green Design Practices,
that the language for dual-flush toilets was to be added and not stricken which was seconded by Board
Member Wright. Motion passed 4-0.
Motion was made by Board Member De Las Salas to fix a typo under Non-Conforming Usage Paragraph
(A) by leaving “Substantial damage” and taking out the words “Substantial improvement” and also to
recommend approval to the City Commission of TX-040-24 with the correction noted in this motion
which was seconded by Vice Chair Granett. Motion passed 4-0.
4. TX-052-24: The applicant, the City of Dania Beach, is requesting to create a new
ordinance within the City’s Code of Ordinances, Land Development Code (LDC), adding
tiny home and micro-housing development regulations and design guidelines for their use.
Deputy Director Lajoie presented this item with a PowerPoint presentation. She explained that this agenda
item and the next were adding brand new language to the code. There would be new regulations regarding
these uses. She said that the tiny home movement has been underway since the early 2010s. Micro-housing
units have also gained in popularity since the prices of homes still were going up. Tiny homes and micro-
housing units revitalize blighted neighborhoods and provided more housing options. The City has had
many requests and she spoke about their benefits. She then spoke about Micro-Housing Developments
(MHD) and then Micro-Housing Dwelling (MHDW). This would require the Planning and Zoning Board
to make a recommendation to the City Commission and there would be two City Commission Readings.
Staff was recommending approval of this new language to the City Commission.
Board Member De Las Salas inquired if a developer brought this to the City or did City Staff want to draft
this on its own? Deputy Director Lajoie said that a couple of developers have come in expressing interest
in Micro-Units. What the City liked about Tiny Homes was that it allowed for infill. She explained that
right now, a developer could not build a tiny home but putting this language in our Code would allow for
it. In Board Member De Las Salas’ opinion, he thought that tiny homes and micro-housing developments
were brilliant ideas but not for the City of Dania Beach. This development would be more suitable for
downtown Fort Lauderdale, downtown Miami, or downtown Hollywood. These units could also encourage
short-term vacation renters. Deputy Director Lajoie then answered Board Member Wright that one tiny
home would be on one property. Also, these tiny homes could not be on wheels. Board Member Wright
inquired as to where the tiny home areas would be and Deputy Director Lajoie answered in the older part
of the City there was property that would be a good fit for tiny homes as there were some small lots there.
The CRA might have some properties that would be good for tiny homes. Board Member Wright wanted
to know what would prevent these homes from becoming Airbnb’s and the Deputy Director answered that
Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Minutes 6 February 19, 2025
nothing would prevent that. They would have to go through the Vacation Rental process. City Attorney
Boutsis explained that the City had to comply with the new state law but we were grandfathered in to keep
some of our prior regulations. She informed that if anyone experienced issues with Airbnb’s or Vacation
Rentals, they should report that to Code. Discussion ensued about the County building tiny homes. Board
Member Wright asked about restrictions if a person wanted to build a tiny home on an empty lot large
enough for a normal-sized house and Deputy Director Lajoie said there were no restrictions. There were
no other board questions/comments and no one from the public wished to speak.
Motion was made by Board Member De Las Salas to recommend denial to the City Commission of
TX-052-24 which was seconded by Board Member Wright. Motion passed 3-1 to recommend denial
(Chair Robertson voted against recommending denial).
Board Member Wright felt that this needed to be refined a little better. A zoning area had to be set aside
for where the City wanted to build tiny homes. This way there would not be tiny homes all over the place.
Someone with a larger lot might want to divide it to build multiple tiny homes. Deputy Director Lajoie
explained that districts have minimum lot sizes and dividing a lot could not lead to less than a minimum lot
size. It was explained that this item would still go to the City Commission to decide. The Planning and
Zoning Board tonight gave their recommendation to the City Commission but it was up to the City
Commission to decide.
5. TX-053-24: The applicant, the City of Dania Beach, is requesting to create a new
ordinance within the City’s Code of Ordinances, Land Development Code (LDC), adding
Accessory Dwelling Unit regulations and design guidelines for their use.
Deputy Director Lajoie presented this item with a PowerPoint presentation. She explained this was another
new regulation to allow a use currently not in the Land Development Code (LDC) today. This was called
Accessory Dwelling Units. This was because of housing costs and would allow the flexibility for individual
families to house in-laws, grandparents or have a rental unit. The primary would be the existing single-
family house and this dwelling unit would be the accessory to the primary use. There were some
municipalities that already have this use. She explained how to figure out if a lot would allow for one
accessory dwelling unit with one parking space plus other things. Staff was recommending that the
Planning and Zoning Board recommend approval for this new text amendment to the City Commission.
Board Member De Las Salas inquired if this was something a developer brought to them or did Staff
generate it on its own? Deputy Director Lajoie said residents have inquired about this. It was a trend that
a lot of cities were doing. Board Member De Las Salas was answered by the Deputy Director that this
could not be a short-term vacation rental. The City Attorney said that they would add for clarity – “Short-
Term Vacation Rental as defined in Chapter 16 of the Code”. Board Member De Las Salas liked this idea.
This was one way to help get out of the affordable housing crisis and that would fit within the character of
the City. Board Member Wright asked if it had to be a separate dwelling or could it be attached? The
Deputy Director said it could be either attached or detached. As there were no more board questions or
comments, the Chair called for public comments.
A gentleman from Pompano Beach, Bajal Chadvok, asked if City Staff and the Planning and Zoning Board
would consider duplexes in addition to single-family homes. This could be in an area that allowed duplexes
that had a density of two and one-half. Think about allowing duplexes to also add an accessory dwelling
unit. Discussion ensued. The Deputy Director explained that the lot would determine what would fit and
there was the underlying density. Board Member Wright thought this would be good to take care of our
families but did we want people to rent out to just anyone. Deputy Director Lajoie explained that the City
would not be able to regulate that. The Board Member expressed concern about it becoming an Airbnb.
Director Norena reminded that the City monitored vacation rentals. The Deputy Director answered the City
Attorney that she did not feel strongly either way about this subject and duplexes.
Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Minutes 7 February 19, 2025
Motion was made by Board Member De Las Salas to recommend approval to the City Commission of
this new text amendment, TX-053-24, as written with the one clarification (Short-Term Vacation Rental
as defined in Chapter 16 of the Code) added which was seconded by Vice Chair Granett. Motion passed
4-0.

WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Dania Beach, Florida (“City”) wishes to
create a new zoning district and add regulatory requirements to the City’s Land Development Code
relating to CRA Form Based Zoning District for the new Beach Gateway Mixed Use II zoning
district; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission finds that the regulations hereinafter set forth are
reasonably related to the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens, property owners and
invitees of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA:
Section 1. The preceding “WHEREAS” clauses are ratified and incorporated as a
record of the legislative intent of this Ordinance.
Section 2. That Chapter 28 entitled the “Land Development Code”; at Part 3,
“Special Zoning Districts,” at Subpart 1, “Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Form-Based
Zoning Districts” as follows:
CHAPTER 28
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
PART 3. SPECIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
SUBPART 1. COMMUNITY RECEVELOPMENT AREA (CRA) FORM-BASED
ZONING DISTRICTS
Sec. 303-75. GTWY-MU-II, Beach Gateway Mixed-Use II District.
(A) Intent and purpose. To capitalize on the proximity of conservation areas, waterways and the
beach, by preserving additional land, thus enhancing the area's assets, by differentiating this
district from the GTWY-MU mixed-use district, and by allowing appropriate building height
to allow for reduction in footprint and developed land area. This will be accomplished by
allowing relatively tall buildings built relatively close to the street, while providing greater
setback and landscaping between the building and street than in the East Dania Beach
Boulevard mixed-use district.

(1) Sustainable Building Practices; voluntary green building/development program.
(a) Overview. The CRA green building/development program is a voluntary program that
developers may choose to participate in, to comply with subsection (R) Required
Amenities
(b) Green building; green building practices. Green building practices refers to building
and building site design, materials and construction techniques that minimize demand
for nonrenewable material and energy resources, water consumption, and minimize
the generation of waste products, pollution, and stormwater runoff. Green building

practices are generally consistent with the techniques used to achieve certification of
construction and development through third-party green building and development
certification programs including the U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the Florida Green Building Coalition, and
Florida Green Lodging.
(c) Rating organizations. This program awards credits based on selected third-party green
building/development certification programs, including, but not limited to, the Florida
Green Building Coalition, Florida Green Lodging, and U.S. Green Building Council
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
(d) Approval of established third-party standards. Applicants seeking to participate in the
voluntary green building/development program are required to schedule a preliminary
development application meeting with the community development director. At the
preliminary development application meeting, the applicant shall identify the third-
party green building/development standards proposed to be incorporated in the project
design and implementation and provide a copy of the standards to city staff the
community development director for review. If the standards of a third-party
certification program other than those listed in [subsection] (b) are proposed, the city
staff [and] the community development director will review the standards of the rating
organization certification program intended to be used by the applicant and notify the
applicant if the proposed program and standards are accepted or rejected for the
voluntary green building/development program.
(e) Review process and certification options. Applicants seeking to participate in the
voluntary green building/development program must choose to:
1. Formally apply for third-party certification with a selected third-party green
building/development rating organization approved by the community
development director, which includes meeting all the submittal, application and
fee requirements for the selected third-party certification; or
2. As an alternative to formal application for third-party certification the applicant
may participate in the city's cost-recovery green building/development review
process. The community development director shall review and verify the third-
party green building/development standards proposed to be incorporated in the
project design and implementation. The applicant shall document compliance
with all of the third-party certification criteria to the satisfaction of the
community development director.
(f) Minimum submittal requirements for applying for voluntary green building or
development program. Site development plan submittal requirements to participate in
the voluntary green building/development program shall include the following:
1. Documentation that the applicant has participated in the preliminary
development application meeting and has received approval from the community
development director to utilize the third-party green building/development
standards used in the site development plan submittal.
Page 7 of 43
Additions to existing text are shown in underline. Deletions to existing text are shown in
strikethrough.
2. Written statement identifying the review option selected by the applicant
(demonstration of formal third-party certification of the project, or community
development director verification of project compliance with third-party green
building/development standards through cost-recovery based review).
3. A completed residential green development/building checklist, with a narrative
explanation of how the green building measure is being incorporated.
4. The city shall require that the proposal exceed the number of points necessary
under this section by a margin to be established administratively for each third-
party certification program. The intent is to ensure certification as best possible
in the event that a given green measure fails to qualify after construction is
completed.
5. A notarized affidavit from the project architect demonstrating that the approved
green building measures have been incorporated into the project plans.
6. Project site and engineering plans that clearly detail all green building measures.
7. A notarized affidavit certifying that a green building expert professional certified
or accredited by a third-party green building and development rating organization
deemed acceptable by the community development director is a part of the
development team and shall remain part of the project team throughout its
duration (i.e., from the design stage through final building inspection/issuance of
certificate of occupancy).
(g) Performance bond. Participants in the voluntary green building program, prior to
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, shall post a performance bond, letter of credit
or other form of surety approved by the city attorney.
1. The amount of the required performance bond, letter of credit or other approved
form of surety shall be calculated as follows for projects seeking the incentive
bonus for meeting third-party certification requirements:
a. Four (4) percent of the total cost of construction for a development of less
than one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet of building area.
b. Three (3) percent of the total cost of construction for a development of up
to two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet of building.
c. Two (2) percent of the total cost of construction for any building greater
than two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet.
2. In the event the completed development does not achieve the third-party
certification or the required number of points, a portion of the surety shall be
forfeited in an amount equal to the percentage of the required third-party point
total not earned. However, if the development does not qualify for at least ninety
(90) percent of the number of points, the entire bond amount shall be forfeited.
3. The city may call on the performance bond if:
Page 8 of 43

a. If the community development director determines that the development
does not qualify for the credits within one (1) year of the city issuance of
the certificate of occupancy for the building. Funds that become available
to the city from the forfeiture of all or part of the surety shall be placed in
the sustainable development fund established by the city, which shall be
used to fund sustainable and energy-efficient city-initiated capital projects
including, but not limited to, water-efficient landscaping, open space
acquisition and improvements, traffic calming, public transportation-related
improvements, pollution mitigation, sustainability improvements to public

amended to read as follows:
Sec. 100-60. Establishment of zoning districts.
The restrictions and controls intended to regulate development in each district are
uniform for each class or kind of categorical delineation or distinction. For the purposes of
protecting, promoting and improving the public health, safety and the general welfare of the
citizens and residents, the city is divided into the following districts:

principal dwelling unit in the same building, and
maintaining the residential character of the adjacent
neighborhood. These are often single-family homes that
are no longer viable due to road widenings and related
noise. Implements the Commercial and Residential
categories of the comprehensive plan. Use of the
commercial or residential flexibility rules of the Broward
County Land Use Plan Administrative Rules Document
may be required.
NBHD-MU Neighborhood
Mixed-Use
District
Provides for neighborhood-serving commercial uses,
townhouses, apartments and limited assembly, repair and
fabrication that are compatible with residential and
commercial uses. The district is applied in a linear fashion,
typically to frontage properties along certain collector
streets that border or traverse neighborhoods. Front yards
are minimized, with buildings close to the street, and rear
yard and on-street parking facilities. Implements the
Regional Activity Center category of the comprehensive
plan.
SFED-MU South Federal
Highway Corridor
Mixed-Use
District
Encourages medium-intensity redevelopment of the
corridor with a mix of retail, office, residential, and
lodging uses with a design emphasis on pedestrian street
life in a manner that supports public transit, while creating
interest and fostering investment in the immediate
neighborhood. This will be accomplished through a mix of
residential and commercial uses along the corridor, built
close to the street, with parking facilities behind buildings.
Implements the Regional Activity Center category of the
comprehensive plan.
GTWY-
MU
Beach Gateway
Mixed-Use
District
Capitalizes on the proximity of conservation areas,
waterways and the beach by preserving additional land,
thus enhancing the area's assets. This will be accomplished
by allowing relatively tall buildings built near the street, in
order to allow for a reduction in building footprint and
consolidation of the developed area, while providing a
landscaped yard between the building and street to
differentiate this zone from the more urban EDBB-MU
zone. Implements the Regional Activity Center category of
the comprehensive plan.

CC City Center
District
Establishes a mixed use downtown with transit-supportive
density and intensity where citizens can work, live, and
shop in a place that is the economic, governmental,
entertainment and cultural focal point of Dania Beach.
This district is designed to encourage accessible, active,
pedestrian-oriented areas within walking distance of a
prospective transit station on the FEC railway. Implements
the Regional Activity Center category of the
comprehensive plan.

Sec. 200-40. How part 2 of this code relates to the CRA form-based and PMUD
regulations.
(A) The site development regulations for the CRA form-based districts (CC, EDBB-MU,
SFED-MU, GTWY-MU, GTWY-MU-II, NBHD-MU, NBHD-RES) are not contained
in the article 205 schedule of site development regulations. Instead, they are located in
part 3 of this code. However, the detailed site development regulations of the remainder
of part 2 apply to the CRA form-based districts unless otherwise noted. In the event of a
conflict between part 2 and part 3, the standards of part 3 shall take precedence for areas
zoned in one of the CRA form-based districts.
(B) Unless otherwise provided, site development regulations for the Planned Mixed Use
Development District (PMUD) are specified within article 340 of this chapter and within
the approved Development Design Guidelines (DDG). Similarly, site development
regulation for the Planned Small Lot Mixed-Use Development District (PMUD-SL) are
specific within article 350 of this chapter and within the approved Development Design
Guidelines (DDG). However, the sections of part 2 that specifically govern airport
safety, wildlife and environmentally sensitive lands shall apply to the PMUD and
PMUD-SL Districts.
Section 7. That Chapter 28 entitled the “Land Development Code”; at Part 2, “Site
Development Regulations,” Article 265, Section 265-91 “Parking reductions for transportation
demand management strategy implementation within the CRA form-based districts” is hereby
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 265-91. Parking reductions for transportation demand management strategy
implementation within the CRA form-based districts (CC, EDBB-MU, SFED-
MU, GTWY-MU, GTWY-MU-II, NBHD-MU, NBHD-RES).
(A) All new development or redevelopment within the CRA form-based districts (CC,
EDBB-MU, SFED-MU, GTWY-MU, GTWY-MU-II, NBHD-MU, NBHD-RES) may
apply for parking reduction through the implementation of transportation demand
management (TDM) strategies. Parking reductions for each TDM strategy
implementation may earn three (3) percent reduction. Total reduction shall not be more
than ten (10) percent of the total required parking for all uses within the development.
This reduction may be used in conjunction with other parking reduction provisions such
as shared parking and affordable housing incentives.

Section 11. That Chapter 28 entitled the “Land Development Code”; at Part 3, “Special
Zoning Districts,” Subpart 1 “Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Form-Based Zoning
Districts”, Article 302, Section 302-40 “Mixing of uses” is hereby amended to read as follows:
Page 36 of 43
Additions to existing text are shown in underline. Deletions to existing text are shown in
strikethrough.
Sec. 302-40. Mixing of uses.
(A) Mixing of uses within a lot is permitted in all mixed-use districts (CC, SFED-MU,
EDBB-MU, GTWY-MU, GTWY-MU-II, NBHD-MU) subject to this section. This
section identifies the use groups that can be incorporated into the same building or lot
with residential use in all mixed-use districts. Note that nonresidential and institutional
uses cannot be located above a residential use. Permitted and special exception uses are
classified into eight (8) use categories, listed below in loose order of highest to lowest
compatibility with residential uses:
(1) Residential;
(2) Lodging;
(3) Mixed-use commercial (given its name because it is appropriate for mixing with
residential);
(4) Civic, institutional;
(5) General commercial;
(6) Entertainment;
(7) Transportation;
(8) Industrial.
Section 12. That Chapter 28 entitled the “Land Development Code”; at Part 3, “Special
Zoning Districts,” Subpart 1 “Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Form-Based Zoning
Districts”, Article 304, Section 304-10 “Generally” is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 304-10. Generally.
(C) Transitional height zones. The maps showing maximum permitted height throughout
each zoning district include transitional height zones in those portions of mixed-use
districts where the allowable height varies with distance from single-family residential
