Euclidean base code (Chapter 28, Part 1 and Part 2). A CRA Form-Based sub-part (SubPart 1) covers the Community Redevelopment Area districts (CC, NBHD-MU, EDBB-MU, GTWY-MU, SFED-MU, NBHD-RES). The form-based districts are a geographic sub-overlay, not the primary code mechanism; base Euclidean code governs the majority of the city.

Worth knowing
  • Dania Beach Chapter 28 Land Development Code has two parallel code systems: (1) Euclidean base districts (Parts 1–8) governing the majority of the city, and (2) a CRA Form-Based sub-part (SubPart 1, Articles 302–312, 320, 330) governing 7 Community Redevelopment Area districts. The form-based CRA districts are NOT overlays on top of Euclidean districts — they replace the Euclidean zoning within the CRA boundary.
  • IROM-AA (Industrial-Residential-Office Marine — Airport Adjacent) is a district unique to Dania Beach, created to manage the transition between FLL airport operations and marine/industrial uses. The '-AA' suffix explicitly acknowledges FAA Part 77 and AICUZ constraints as a design criterion of the zoning category itself.
  • Dimensional table §205-10 ('Schedule of lot, yard and bulk regulations') was not retrievable in this research pass: daniabeach.elaws.us returned 503 (server unavailable); library.municode.com returned 403 (Cloudflare challenge). All dimensional standards for Euclidean base districts are recorded as partial with retrieval_failure_reason. The GIS FeatureServer (DaniaBeach_Zoning_WFL) confirms district existence but stores only ZONE_1/CATEGORY attributes, not dimensional standards.

State preemptions

FL §166.04151(7) — Live Local Act (SB 102/2023 as amended by SB 328/2024, HB 7073/2024, SB 1730/2025)applies
Qualifying condition
City of Dania Beach pop. 33,152 (2020 Census) with commercial, industrial, and mixed-use zoning present (C-1 through C-4, I-G, IRO, IROC, IROM, IROM-AA, CC, NBHD-MU, EDBB-MU, GTWY-MU, SFED-MU). Statewide preemption — no population threshold. Applies to all Florida municipalities. Live Local Act requires qualifying multifamily projects (≥40% affordable at ≤120% AMI on commercial/industrial/mixed-use sites) to be approved at highest residential density/height in jurisdiction. NOTE: SB 328/2024 codified carve-out for airport-impacted areas per §166.04151(7) — parcels within FLL AICUZ noise contours may qualify for the airport carve-out; status is per-parcel-conditional in IROM-AA district. TX-043-25 (2025) added §§205-11 to 205-16 implementing LLA development standards.
Source
2020 Census (Dania Beach pop.); Fla. Stat. §166.04151(7) (statewide); SB 328/2024 airport carve-out; Dania Beach LDC GIS district inventory
Effect
Preempts use, density, and height restrictions for qualifying affordable multifamily projects on commercial/industrial/mixed-use sites; 15% parking reduction within ¼ mile of transit stop (SB 328/2024); LLA moratorium prohibited except one 90-day window per 3-year cycle (SB 1730/2025)
FL §509.032(7) — Short-Term Rental Preemptionapplies
Qualifying condition
Statewide preemption applies to all Florida municipalities. Dania Beach may not prohibit STRs or regulate their duration/frequency; only pre-2011-06-01 local STR ordinances grandfathered. Ord. 2025-008 §(D)(1) prohibits ADUs from STR use per Chapter 16 of City Code — this is a lawful condition on the ADU program that does not ban STRs city-wide; the broader STR preemption under §509.032(7) still applies.
Source
Fla. Stat. §509.032(7); Ord. 2025-008 §105-260(D)(1)
Effect
Prohibits local ban on short-term rentals or regulation of STR duration/frequency; STRs state-licensed by DBPR under Ch. 509
FL §553.73 — Florida Building Code Preemptionapplies
Qualifying condition
Statewide preemption — applies to all Florida municipalities. Florida Building Code is the exclusive statewide building code; local technical amendments require state approval under §553.73(4). Ord. 2025-008 expressly requires ADUs to comply with 'Florida Building Code, Residential, Eighth Edition' (§105-260(D)(2)).
Source
Fla. Stat. §553.73; Ord. 2025-008 §105-260(D)(2)
Effect
Local building codes preempted; FBC Eighth Edition governs residential construction including ADUs
FL §163.045 — Residential Tree Removal Preemptionapplies
Qualifying condition
Statewide preemption applies to all Florida municipalities for residential properties where certified arborist or licensed landscape architect documents tree poses unacceptable risk. No permit, fee, or replacement required in such cases. Material to single-family redevelopment in RS-18000, RS-12000, RS-8000, RS-6000, RD-8000, and NBHD-RES districts.
Source
Fla. Stat. §163.045 (Ch. 2019-155)
Effect
Local tree permit, fee, or replacement requirement prohibited for documented hazard trees on residential property
FL §419.001 — Community Residential Homes (Group Homes)applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide preemption applies to all Florida municipalities. Group homes ≤6 residents must be allowed in any SF zoning district (RS-18000, RS-12000, RS-8000, RS-6000, NBHD-RES, E-1, RD-8000) as single-family use subject to 1,000 ft spacing rule. Group homes 7–14 residents allowed in MF districts (RM, RM-1, RM-2, RM-3) subject to notice/hearing and spacing rule.
Source
Fla. Stat. §419.001
Effect
Community residential homes ≤6 persons must be treated as single-family use in SF districts; 7–14 persons allowed in MF districts; 1,000 ft spacing rule applies
FL §70.001 — Bert Harris Private Property Rights Actapplies
Qualifying condition
Statewide compensation-claim backstop applies to all Florida municipalities. Any governmental action that 'inordinately burdens' an existing use or vested right in real property triggers compensation claim rights. Not a field-specific preemption; litigation-risk backstop for any local denial.
Source
Fla. Stat. §70.001
Effect
Compensation claims available where governmental action inordinately burdens existing use or vested property right
FL §161.053 — Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL)applies
Qualifying condition
Dania Beach has Atlantic Ocean frontage on its eastern boundary. Broward County CCCL established by Florida DEP per §161.053. Construction seaward of CCCL requires DEP permit regardless of local zoning. Additionally, FEMA SFHA coastal V-zones (wave action) overlap with CCCL seaward parcels, creating concurrent state (DEP) and federal (FEMA) coastal construction requirements.
Source
Fla. Stat. §161.053; Florida DEP CCCL program; FEMA FIRM Broward County
Effect
Construction seaward of DEP CCCL requires state DEP permit; local approval does not substitute; FEMA flood zone standards apply concurrently in V/VE zones
FL SB 180/2025 — Post-Storm Moratorium Preemptionapplies
Qualifying condition
Statewide conditional preemption; applies retroactively to 2024 hurricane season and sunsets 2028-06-30. Dania Beach is in Broward County in South Florida within reach of hurricane landfall events. After a qualifying hurricane landfall, Dania Beach may not enact development moratoria or more restrictive LDRs for the fixed prohibition window, may not impose inflated impact fees on replacement structures, and may not create new 'cumulative substantial improvement' periods for routine repair.
Source
Ch. 2025-190, Laws of Florida; Fla. Stat. (post-storm preemption); Broward County hurricane exposure
Effect
Post-storm moratorium and development restriction ban for the window specified in Ch. 2025-190; sunsets 2028-06-30
FL §163.31771 — ADU Local-Option Enabling (NOT a statewide mandate)applies
Qualifying condition
Dania Beach adopted Ordinance 2025-008 (effective April 2025 + 10 days = circa May 2025) creating §105-260 Accessory Dwelling Units under §163.31771. This is the local ADU opt-in; the statute is permissive, not a statewide mandate. ADUs permitted in NBHD-RES, NBHD-RES*, RS-6000, RS-8000, RS-12000, E-1; conditionally in RD-8000, RM-1, RM-2, RM-3, PRD-1; not in PMUD, PMUD-SL, mixed-use CRA form-based districts, commercial, industrial, RO, or marine districts.

Quirks & notes

  • Dania Beach Chapter 28 Land Development Code has two parallel code systems: (1) Euclidean base districts (Parts 1–8) governing the majority of the city, and (2) a CRA Form-Based sub-part (SubPart 1, Articles 302–312, 320, 330) governing 7 Community Redevelopment Area districts. The form-based CRA districts are NOT overlays on top of Euclidean districts — they replace the Euclidean zoning within the CRA boundary.
  • IROM-AA (Industrial-Residential-Office Marine — Airport Adjacent) is a district unique to Dania Beach, created to manage the transition between FLL airport operations and marine/industrial uses. The '-AA' suffix explicitly acknowledges FAA Part 77 and AICUZ constraints as a design criterion of the zoning category itself.
  • Dimensional table §205-10 ('Schedule of lot, yard and bulk regulations') was not retrievable in this research pass: daniabeach.elaws.us returned 503 (server unavailable); library.municode.com returned 403 (Cloudflare challenge). All dimensional standards for Euclidean base districts are recorded as partial with retrieval_failure_reason. The GIS FeatureServer (DaniaBeach_Zoning_WFL) confirms district existence but stores only ZONE_1/CATEGORY attributes, not dimensional standards.
  • TX-043-25 (pending as of research date) proposes adding §§205-11 through 205-16 to Article 205 specifically to codify Live Local Act development standards in Dania Beach's dimensional table, consistent with SB 102/2023 and SB 1730/2025. This indicates §205-10 remains the baseline table for all existing (non-LLA) districts.
  • TX-042-25 (pending as of research date) proposes updating intent language for the RO (Residential Office) district in §100-60 and moving PRD-1 from the Residential category to the Mixed Use category. If adopted, this changes the GIS CATEGORY attribute for PRD-1 parcels.
  • C-4(DR) appears in the GIS data as a variant of C-4, likely 'C-4 Design Review' subdistrict. Not found in the main district listing accessible via searches. Recorded in GIS inventory but not as a separate profile district due to likely overlay-on-C-4 nature.
  • RM-0 appears in the GIS data but was not found in any code search result. It may be an older or transitional district code. Omitted from district profiles pending code access.
  • NBHD-RES* (asterisk variant) appears in the GIS data and in Ord. 2025-008. The asterisk likely denotes a modified NBHD-RES standard; exact distinction not accessible without code access.
  • Ord. 2025-008 §105-260(D)(1) prohibits ADUs from being used as short-term rentals per Chapter 16 of the Code of Ordinances. This is a lawful condition on the ADU program; the broader statewide STR preemption under §509.032(7) continues to apply to non-ADU units city-wide.
  • Special setback of 100 ft for wet or dry stack marina buildings/structures in commercial districts from any residentially-designated lot confirmed from Google snippet of §215-110. This applies primarily to MA, MA-1, and C-4 parcels near residential zones.
