This district is intended to provide for and encourage appropriate and consistent land use patterns where applied within the jurisdictional boundaries of Port Everglades irrespective of whether the land being regulated lies within the municipal boundaries of the cities of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale or Dania [Beach] or within the unincorporated territory of Broward County. The uses and standards allowed within this district recognize the need to accommodate the use of the lands within Port Everglades which is a major regional facility essential to the continued economic vitality of the cities and the county. It is anticipated that the intent of the district will be accomplished by concurrent adoption of the regulations by the three (3) cities and the county with support and coordination by the port authority.
