(A)

The Planned Mixed-Use Development zoning district (PMUD) is intended to encourage and facilitate quality development and redevelopment within the Dania Beach Regional Activity Center (RAC) by providing flexibility for large-scale development accommodating a mix of uses in a complementary and integrated manner. The increased density and mix of uses is desirable to create a compact work, live, shop and leisure environment that reduces transportation needs by combining uses and provides an attractive destination for tourists and local citizens. This density and intensity of use is appropriate for large parcels of land with access to major roads and within close proximity to airports and cruise ship facilities.

(B)

The adopted PMUD Development Design Guidelines (DDG) is intended to regulate development within the PMUD in much the same manner as the city's Land Development Code controls development in other zoning districts. A PMUD may be developed in one or more phases, as set forth in the adopted PMUD DDG.

(C)

Where this article 340 and an approved PMUD DDG fail to address any matter regulated by this chapter, development within a PMUD shall be governed by those regulations of this chapter.

(Ord. No. 2015-022, § 5, 10-13-15)

The PMUD may only be utilized within the Dania Beach Regional Activity Center (RAC). Generalized permitted uses are those set forth in the Dania Beach RAC which include residential, hotel, commercial, office and employment center. All permitted, conditional, special exception, restricted or prohibited uses within the PMUD shall be identified and established pursuant to the approved PMUD Development Design Guidelines (DDG) consistent with the Dania Beach Regional Activity Center (RAC) and article 340 of this chapter. Uses may be horizontally and vertically mixed within a building(s) as well as within the PMUD as regulated by the DDG.

(Ord. No. 2015-022, § 5, 10-13-15)

(B)

Density and intensity. The density and intensity of land uses within a PMUD shall be consistent with the Dania Beach Regional Activity Center (RAC) provisions set forth in the Future Land Use Element of the city's Comprehensive Plan. The maximum permissible residential densities and square footages of non-residential uses within a PMUD shall be established in the PMUD DDG approved by the city commission. No building permit may be issued for development of property within a PMUD except in compliance with the density and intensity limits of the PMUD DDG.

(C)

Public access. Each permitted use shall have access to a public street either directly or indirectly via an approach, private road, or other area dedicated to the public or private use or common easement guaranteeing access. The city shall be allowed access on privately owned roadways, easements and common open space to ensure the police and fire protection of the area, to meet emergency needs, to conduct city services, and to generally ensure the health and safety of the residents.
