(Code 1980, app. A, art. III, § 1; Ord. No. 2003-24, § 1, 10-21-2003)

1. The boundaries of each district are designated and established as shown on the official zoning map of the city, as that map may be adopted and amended from time to time.
2. Where lots or parcels of land have been excluded from the official zoning map or otherwise unzoned, or annexed into the city, such lots or parcels shall be classified RS-5 residential single-family district until changed, if at all, pursuant to the appropriate zoning district boundary change procedures.
3. The official zoning map of the city shall consist of a map or series of zoning district maps individually numbered as Sheet No. 1, 2, etc., which may be prepared and adopted separately or cumulatively by the commission.
4. The official zoning map shall be retained in the administrative offices of the city clerk; and the official zoning map, as amended from time to time, shall be a part of land incorporated in this chapter.
5. The original official zoning map, which may be a composite of all official zoning maps or map amendments adopted by the commission, shall be kept on public display in the city's clerk office located in a locked glass bulletin board with keys allowed only in the custody of the city clerk.
6. No changes or amendments to the official zoning map shall be made except in compliance and conformity with this chapter, and any such changes shall be made promptly after official adoption of the amendment.

(Code 1980, app. A, art. III, § 2)

1. When uncertainty exists as to boundaries of the districts on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
   1. Centerlines. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways and alleys shall be construed to follow such lines.
   2. Lot, section and tract lines. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines, section or tract lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
   3. Political boundaries. Boundaries indicated as approximately following political boundaries shall be construed as following such political boundaries.
   4. Railroad lines. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be the centerline of the railroad right-of-way.
   5. Shoreline. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be constructed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline; boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of canals or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
   6. Parallel lines. Boundaries that are approximately parallel to the centerlines or street lines of streets, the centerlines or alley lines of alleys, or the centerline or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the zoning maps. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the zoning maps.
   7. Bisecting lines. Boundaries that approximately bisect a block, lot or tract shall be construed to follow the median lines of such blocks, as indicated by rear property lines or as measured between the centerlines of boundary streets in the absence of rear property lines or in the absence of both of the above, by use of the scale appearing on the zoning maps.
   8. Uncertainties. Where features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, or in case any other uncertainty exists, the city commission shall interpret the intent of the official zoning map as to the location of district boundaries.
   9. Street abandonments. Where a public road, street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the property to which it reverted shall apply to such vacated or abandoned road, street or alley.
   10. Excluded areas. Where parcels of land have been inadvertently excluded from a zoning district classification in any manner, such parcels shall be classified as RS-5 until rezoned.
2. When use district regulations specifically incorporate the permitted uses of another use district, those permitted uses shall be subject to the requirements of the incorporating district, unless otherwise specified.
3. Where a permitted use is first specified in a use district, that use may only be permitted in that district and any district incorporating its permitted uses.
4. Unless otherwise specified, all height regulations shall be measured from the finished grade, as that term is defined in the South Florida Building code.

(Code 1980, app. A, art. III, § 3)

Where ambiguity exists as to whether a proposed use is allowed in a particular zoning district, the director of development services will determine, upon request, if the proposed use is substantially similar to a listed use and if the expected impacts on nearby property are not materially greater than a listed use. The director will issue this determination in writing.

(Ord. No. 2014-31, § 2, 11-5-2014)

   2. The modifications adequately provide for service areas and other development features for the project;
   3. The modifications adequately provide for service and emergency vehicle access; and
   4. The modifications adequately provide for visibility of access.
2. All requests for such modifications shall be filed with the city manager by the property owner of record and transmitted to the city commission accompanied by a staff recommendation for approval or denial with the major development review application, if applicable. There shall be a filing fee required and major development application fee if applicable, which is established and on file in the city clerk's office, with each such request. Such requests for modification shall be advertised, posted and noticed in conformity with the requirements of article IX, section 32-1003 of this chapter.
3. Within the community redevelopment area (CRA), the city commission may waive the specified density unit count according to section 32-311, to allow permitted residential uses to be developed at greater than 14 net units per acre, but no more than 15.5 net units per acre, or the maximum density permitted by the adopted comprehensive plan, whichever is less; minimum lot size of existing platted lots must be at least 5,620 square feet for any lot or parcel to which the densitywaiver permitted by this section is applied.

1. Intent and purpose. The following standards, regulations and requirements apply to areas to be rezoned as a planned local activity center (PLAC) district within the city. The PLAC district regulations are created to ensure development within a local activity center (LAC) future land use category is consistent with LAC land use designation. The PLAC is intended to encourage and promote development that facilitates a coordinated and balanced mix of land uses, including: retail, office, hotel/conference, certain types of commercial recreation uses, residential and other similar uses. The mix of land uses associated with the PLAC district shall also provide recreation, entertainment, and associated employment opportunities while creating an urban center with high quality architecture, pedestrian-friendly streets, outdoor public spaces and access to public transit.
2. Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
   
   Design guidelines mean a document created and submitted in conjunction with a planned local activity center rezoning and a major development plan approval application that describes the architectural and design goals of a specific development within the PLAC. The guidelines shall include a description and intent of the overall development and provide standards for vehicular and pedestrian circulation, architecture, landscaping, open space, signage, parking (surface and structured), loading, streets, and regulations addressing building placement, scale/massing, height, and character.
   
   The PLAC design guidelines standards and criteria shall take precedent over the conceptual site plan design.
   
   Development agreement means a valid and enforceable agreement between an applicant for a development approval and the city. The development agreement shall set forth any conditions and obligations to address impacts of the development on the city, shall be recorded in the public records and shall be binding on all property owners within the boundaries of the development. The development agreement shall be utilized to further the purpose and intent of PLAC set forth in subsection (a) of this section. No building permit shall be issued until a development agreement is signed.
   
   Major development plan means a detailed proposal which incorporates specific site details and specifications including a site plan and other documents as required by subsection (h) of this section and the development review requirements of article V of this chapter.
   
   Planned local activity center (PLAC) means an area zoned as a dense, urban, mixed-use development area to achieve an interdependent live/work/entertainment environment while also enhancing the quality of life in the city and minimizing the demand and dependence on the automobile.
3. Applicability means the city commission may zone lands as a PLAC district consistent with the intent and purpose of the LAC land use category in the city's comprehensive plan.
4. Permitted, accessory and prohibited uses.
   1. Permitted uses. Uses consistent with or customary to mixed-use urban centers including but not limited to multi-family residential, office, retail/commercial uses including cinemas, nightclubs, café/restaurants, hotels, accessory parking, and commercial recreation uses including casinos, pari-mutuel wagering, slot machine gaming, and cardroom facilities.
   2. Accessory uses. Accessory uses include uses customarily accessory to the principal permitted use but not including any of the uses listed as prohibited.
   3. Temporary uses. Temporary uses and structures, such as trailers, in connection with sales, marketing, leasing, construction or development subject to the following restrictions:
      1. Temporary uses and structures shall only be permitted as part of a conceptual site plan and approved design guidelines. The approval shall include a duration of not more than two years or when the first component or building is completed, whichever is earlier.
      2. Construction trailers shall only be permitted for the duration of a construction phase, beginning with the date a building permit is issued and continuing not longer than the date a certificate of occupancy is issued for the development.
      3. The city manager may extend the approved duration in increments of no more than two years upon finding that the temporary use or structure is necessary to facilitate completion of the development.
      4. A designated parking area with a minimum of 20 parking spaces as approved by the city manager shall be provided in connection with the use of a sales trailer.
   4. Prohibited uses. Any use not consistent and/or compatible with the permitted and accessory uses established in the LAC land use category text for the specific project area, the PLAC district design guidelines, and specifically prohibiting the following: single-family and duplex residential (not including townhouses), mobile homes, retail sales of secondhand merchandise, auto sales and repair, gas stations, boat yards, warehouse/storage, heavy commercial uses, industrial uses, and any use not specifically permitted and/or compatible with the intended development as determined by the city.
5. PLAC district criteria. Consistent with the LAC land use category requirements in the city's comprehensive plan and the county land use plan, the following criteria must be met for an area to be eligible for designation as a PLAC district:
   1. Minimum/maximum lot size. The minimum area or lot size considered for the PLAC district shall be contiguous ten acres. The maximum area or lot size considered for the PLAC district shall be 160 acres. At such time as 75 percent of the originally zoned PLAC district is developed, an expansion to the subject PLAC district to include abutting properties may be considered without regard to minimum size requirements.
   2. Proximity to public transportation. Seventy-five percent of the land within the proposed PLAC district must be located within a quarter-mile of public transit, a community shuttle or multi-modal facilities, or are designed, built and located within a quarter-mile of such facilities upon build-out. Where such facilities are not in place or planned to be in place at the time of the rezoning, design standards shall be required in the design guidelines to ensure that the primary priority is a safe, comfortable, and attractive pedestrian environment that will allow convenient connection to public transit, will reduce the number of automobile trips internally, and will ultimately support an integrated multimodal transportation system.
   3. [Appropriate depth and frontage.] A proposed PLAC district must have a geographic configuration of appropriate depth and frontage to support the location of uses in a manner oriented around a five-minute (i.e., quarter-mile) walk. Multiple nodes of activity oriented around a five-minute walk may be included within one PLAC district.
6. General PLAC district requirements. All development within a PLAC district shall conform to the following requirements unless modified by a development agreement enacted pursuant to subsection 32-173(d)(2) by the city commission.
   1. Setbacks. All buildings, structures and additions shall meet the setback requirements defined in the approved design guidelines required in subsection (h).
   2. Height. Building heights shall comply with the height standards established in the approved design guidelines. At no time shall a building be higher than 30 stories. As one of the main purposes of the PLAC is to create a dense urban appearance, buildings should be designed in such a manner to avoid the appearance of a one-story "strip commercial" building. To that end, portions of buildings that are approved as one-story structures must be designed in a manner that the average parapet height is at least 20 feet above grade.
   3. Off-street parking. Off-street parking shall be designed and calculated pursuant to section 32-452 of this Code, entitled "Off-street parking requirements," or as approved in the PLAC design guidelines and major development plan approval. In general, shared parking shall be encouraged to permit a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces for individual uses in mixed-use projects which typically do not experience peak parking demands at the same time or patrons that may visit a number of uses within the project. The city may approve a reduction in the quantity, location or type of required parking spaces based on the submission of a professional parking study acceptable to the city.
   4. Landscaping. All property or parcels within a PLAC shall conform to the requirements in section 32-384, entitled "Landscape requirements," or as modified as part of the design guidelines. The design guidelines and subsequent major development plans shall include a planting theme consistent with South Florida landscaping and supporting a pedestrian-friendly environment. Park and open space land may include squares, plazas, arcades, landscaped pedestrian walkways, greenbelts, greenways and playgrounds. Required perimeter buffers, median strip landscaping and interior parking lot islands may not comprise more than 20 percent of the total required landscaped area. All such land must be within the boundaries of the PLAC district.
   5. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the city reserves the right, but is not obligated, to modify the PLAC criteria upon submission of a request from the owner/applicant.
7. PLAC submittal requirements. The following shall be submitted for PLAC approval:
   1. General location map, boundary survey and PLAC narrative. A general location map depicting the PLAC area and its relationship to adjoining land uses and roadways within at least one-half mile of the site; a boundary survey and legal description; and a narrative describing the overall PLAC and the components thereof.
   2. Conceptual site plan. A conceptual site plan illustrating the general layout of streets, sidewalks, open space, parking, and buildings and any proposed temporary uses or structures. The conceptual site plan drawings must have sufficient detail to clearly illustrate and denote building forms and relationships, architectural styles, setbacks, approximate sizes of uses and functional use areas including dimensions/square footages. The conceptual plan may be revised consistent with the approved design guidelines through the major development plan review/process for each phase of the development. The conceptual site plan approval is deemed conditional until a development agreement is executed by the city and applicant pursuant to the paragraph (n).
   3. Design guidelines. Design guidelines (text and graphics) providing specific guidelines for the PLAC district governing vehicular and pedestrian circulation, architecture (including building elevations), landscaping, open space, signage, site lighting, parking (surface and structured), loading, streets, and standards addressing building placement, scale/massing, height and character. Unless specifically modified in the design guidelines, all development in the PLAC district shall comply with the city's minimum code requirements.
   4. Phasing plan. An anticipated development phasing schedule including the sequence for each phase, and approximate size of the area in each phase of the PLAC district consistent with the conceptual plan.
   5. Infrastructure assessment. An assessment of the infrastructure necessary to serve the PLAC including potable water, sanitary sewer, stormwater, electricity, telephone, gas installation, cable TV, satellite communication facilities, solid waste and waste disposal facilities, loading zones and proposed street improvements.
   6. Recreation and open space assessment. An assessment of designated recreational opportunities and open spaces within the PLAC district addressing conformance to the goals, objectives and policies of the city's comprehensive plan and applicable land development regulations. Residual areas such as buffers, median strips and retention areas are not considered parkland or open space but may be counted toward minimum landscape requirements.
   7. Transportation and parking analysis. A transportation and parking analysis including on-site and off-site vehicular traffic, mass transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
   8. Security measure assessment. An assessment and description of any security measures to be provided within the general area and sub-areas of the PLAC.
   9. Additional requirements. The city manager, or designee, may require additional materials and studies, as customarily required, to ensure that the applicable standards and guidelines of this chapter have been fully met. The additional requirements must be identified prior to submittal of the major development plan application.
   10. Application fees. The rezoning application fees for a PLAC district shall be as set forth for rezoning applications in the city's fee schedule.
8. Major development plan submittal requirements. In addition to the requirements of article V of this chapter, the following shall be submitted for major development plan approval:
   1. Design guidelines. Submit a copy of the design guidelines as approved as part of subsection (g).

(Ord. No. 2001-16, § 1, 9-18-2001; Ord. No. 2003-26, § 1, 11-18-2003; Ord. No. 2009-21, § 1, 11-4-2009; Ord. No. 2014-31, § 19, 11-5-2014; Ord. No. 2019-004, § 1, 3-20-2019; Ord. No. 2024-009, § 2, 4-10-2024; Ord. No. 2025-014, § 2, 8-20-2025)

1. Purpose and intent. The purpose and intent of the PDO planned development overlay is to provide an optional zoning procedure to permit site design flexibility and greater land use intensity and density in order to encourage high-quality, innovative development that is consistent with comprehensive plan policies, applicable city development and redevelopment plans, and desired development patterns and land uses in an overlay zone that encourages flexibility in the design and negotiation of land development in order to promote its most appropriate use; to facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities; and to ensure that development is planned, designed, and developed to function as integral units independently or in concert with the existing land use pattern and adjacent building sites. Regulations for planned development are intended to accomplish the purposes of zoning and other applicable city regulations to the same degree as in instances where such city regulations are intended to control development on a lot-by-lot basis rather than on a unified development approach.
2. Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
   
   City-initiated rezoning means the assignment of PDO by the city commission to areas of the city where the commission desires to direct development or redevelopment activity which satisfies the intent of this district.
   
   Concept plan means a preliminary presentation and attendant documentation required for the assignment of PDO to land by an applicant other than the city commission in accordance with the requirements outlined in subsection (g) of this section; a plan of sufficient accuracy to be used for the purpose of discussion and consideration.
   
   Major development plan means a detailed plan which represents a specific development plan including specifications required by subsection (h) of this section and the development review requirements of article V of this chapter, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
   
   Planned development overlay (PDO) means an overlay district assigned to land developed or proposed to be developed according to a plan; as a single entity under unified control; planned and developed as a whole in a single phase or an approved series of phases. It may contain one or more structures with appurtenant common areas.
3. Unified control. All land included for the purpose of development within a PDO planned development overlay shall be either part of an adopted city-initiated rezoning, or under the control of the applicant (an individual, partnership or corporation, or group of individuals, partnerships or corporations). The applicant shall present satisfactory legal documents to constitute evidence of the unified control of the entire area within the proposed planned development which shall be certified by the city manager. The applicant shall agree in the application for rezoning to the following:
   1. To proceed with the proposed development according to the provisions of this chapter and the approved plan;
   2. To provide, subsequent to rezoning and prior to the issuance of a building permit, any agreements, contracts, covenants, deed restrictions or sureties as reasonably deemed necessary by the city, in a form acceptable to the city, to ensure that the development proceeds in accordance with prior approvals and to further provide for continuing operation and maintenance of such areas, functions and facilities which are not proposed to be provided, operated, or maintained at public expense;
   3. To bind their successors in title to any commitments made as set forth in this subsection; and
   4. If the developer elects to administer common open space through an association or nonprofit corporation, the organization shall conform to the applicable laws of the state.
4. Status.
   1. Overlay zone. The PDO planned development overlay shall be an overlay zone that can be applied in locations within the city.
   2. Development agreement required. Each PDO planned development overlay development shall be governed by a development agreement whereby the city and other appropriate entities enter as parties to the agreement. The development agreement shall be utilized to further the purpose and intent of PDO set forth in subsections (a) and (i) of this section.
   3. Guidelines. Guidelines for the PDO planned development overlay 3.1 administrative process and 3.2 dimension and design guidelines are set forth in the city design guidelines manual maintained in the growth management department and adopted by reference in this section.
   4. Review; agreement required. In cases whereby a property has no existing development agreement or major development plan of record but has been rezoned to the PDO overlay zoning designation, any further development or redevelopment shall require major development review and a development agreement with the city. This provision is mandatory in all cases, including the event where the proposed development does not meet the standards for submission of major development plan review.
5. Uses permitted. The uses permitted in a planned development, as indicated below, must be consistent with the provisions of this section and, in accordance with the city's comprehensive plan:
   1. In order to achieve the purpose of this section, a PDO planned development overlay may be developed as a residential, business, industrial or mixed use entity and shall be identified as:

      PDO residential	PDO/R
      PDO business	PDO/B
      PDO industrial	PDO/I
      PDO mixed use	PDO/M

      Within each PDO planned development overlay, uses listed in the underlying zoning district may be permitted subject to major development plan review and the limitations of the applicable future land use designation of the comprehensive plan.
   2. In situations whereby PDO is applied to a general area rather than a unified single area or tract, singular parcels may be allowed to develop consistent with the underlying zoning district provided such development is not inconsistent with the future development scheme for the entire general area designated PDO. The city manager shall make this determination based upon a statement supplied by the applicant that describes how such underlying zoning district utilization will promote and advance the interest of PDO and not impact the future development of the entire general area designated PDO. If a singular parcel is exempted by the city manager, no development agreement will be required and the plan shall be reviewed as provided in this chapter.
6. Procedures for city-initiated rezoning. Where the city initiates a rezoning to PDO based on a development or redevelopment plan, the PDO provisions shall serve to further the recommendations, goals and policies of that plan. Proposed developments within a city-initiated PDO will be evaluated for their consistency with the city's goals and policies relating to the area being proposed for development or redevelopment. The development or redevelopment plan shall serve as the concept plan as specified in subsection (g)(4) of this section, for all included land. Subsequent applications for development in the PDO shall constitute the major development plan and shall be substantially consistent with the recommendations, goals and policies of the concept plan. Application fees for a major development plan on a city-initiated PDO shall be the responsibility of the applicant.
7. Procedures and requirements for rezoning to a PDO planned development overlay.
   1. An application for a rezoning to PDO planned development overlay shall be made only by the owner of the subject property or an authorized agent and processed in the same manner as other applications for rezoning of land as provided in section 32-966, except as otherwise provided in these regulations.
   2. The rezoning application fees for a PDO planned development overlay shall be as set forth for rezoning applications in the city's fee schedule.
   3. Applications for rezoning to PDO planned development overlay may be submitted for review as a concept plan in the absence of a major development plan that meets the requirements of subsection (h) of this section.
   4. Applications for rezoning to PDO planned development overlay based on a concept plan shall provide the following information for review:
      1. A certified boundary survey.
      2. General schematic representation of the land uses with densities and intensities, along with a table of computation which depicts number of units, gross floor area, parking, building height and site coverage.
      3. Approximate delineation of internal circulation, with hierarchical classification of streets.
   5. Applications for rezoning to PDO shall be reviewed with consideration given to the following criteria:
      1. That the proposed project would further the development or redevelopment of an area of the city consistent with city land use and development goals, policies and development/redevelopment efforts.
      2. That the proposed development would be of an equal or higher quality with regard to appearance, site design, compatibility with the adjacent area, landscaping, and provision of amenities that would result under the existing development standards.
      3. That PDO would allow a more innovative design than would be possible under the development standards of the existing zoning district and development regulations.
      4. That the proposed development would promote the public interest, including, if appropriate, the provision of open space and amenities available for public use.
      5. That mixed commercial and residential development proposals would be well planned, in an integrated design that would encourage use of mass transportation, pedestrian and bicycling modes of transportation.
      6. That it would be more appropriate for a proposed project to be developed under PDO development standards and procedures than the existing zoning district development standards, and development review and variance procedures, when the criteria mentioned in this subsection are considered.
8. Procedures and requirements for major development plan.
   1. The application fees for major development plan in a PDO planned development overlay shall be those adopted in the city's fee schedule for concurrency evaluation and development review.
   2. An application for a major development in a PDO planned development overlay shall conform to the requirements for development review as provided in article V of this chapter, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
   3. In addition to the requirements of article V of this chapter, the following shall be submitted for major development plan approval:
      1. A certified boundary survey.
      2. General schematic representation of the land uses with densities and intensities, along with a table of computation which depicts number of units, gross floor areas, parking, building height and site coverage.
      3. Approximate delineation of internal circulation, with hierarchical classification of streets.
      4. Points of connection of the local streets to the trafficways, including general indication of the necessary improvements to the trafficways to accommodate the local trips generated by the planned development.
      5. General location and size of any community facility included within the planned development such as parks, schools, fire stations, community center, etc.
      6. Indication of existing vegetation and all other natural features within the planned development, together with general plans for their conservation or mitigation.
      7. Schematic depiction of the water distribution and wastewater collection facilities and drainage system, including easements.
      8. Specific indication of the development phasing, in terms of areas and sequence.
      9. In addition, the city manager may require additional material such as elevation drawings and architectural renderings, plans, maps and studies necessary to make findings and determinations to ensure the applicable standards and guidelines of this chapter have been fully met.
9. Dimension and design regulations.
   1. All site development standards and related development standards of this chapter are to be negotiated between the city and the applicant as part of the development process in accordance with the PDO planned development overlay regulations and all other applicable city codes, regulations and standards set forth in the design guidelines manual.
   2. All PDO planned development overlays shall contain a minimum of one acre of land under unified control. However, the city commission may modify this minimum if it is determined to meet all the following criteria:
      1. The size without the modification will significantly inhibit neighborhood improvements;
      2. The modification adequately provides for service areas and other development features for the project;
      3. The modification adequately provides for service and emergency vehicle access; and
      4. The modification adequately provides for visibility of access.
         
         The modification request shall be filed with the city manager by an applicant with unified control of the site. The request shall be transmitted to the city commission accompanied by a staff recommendation for approval or denial. Such requests for modification shall be advertised, posted and noticed in conformity with the requirements of article IX, section 32-1004, of this chapter. The application fee for a modification request shall be those adopted by the city's fee schedule for redevelopment area modifications.
   3. The PDO planned development overlay permits smaller yard areas than those of the underlying zoning district where the use of reduced yard setbacks is appropriate for a particular project. Minimum setbacks for a PDO planned development overlay shall be established by utilizing one of the following methods:
      1. By utilizing the applicable setbacks of the underlying zoning districts in connection with the PDO overlay zone.
      2. By conforming to the established setback pattern of adjacent property and property within 500 feet of the PDO site in all directions.
      3. Setback minimums may be established using methods a. and b. in combination or as proposed by the applicant utilizing good planning and development practices. Such practices shall consider buffering; the prevention of overcrowding/lessening the adverse effects of density/intensity; accommodation of service areas; proper access for firefighting equipment and the containment of fire; accommodation of other development features (e.g., off-street parking, storage, etc.); view protection and visibility; and future roadway widening.
   4. All PDO development, redevelopment and exterior improvements shall be designed and constructed in conformance with the requirements and standards of the city's design guidelines manual, incorporated in this section by reference.
10. Conformance to approved major development plan.
    1. Building permits. After rezoning to PDO planned development overlay, no building permits shall be issued by the city and no development shall commence unless in conformance with a development agreement and approved major development plan unless otherwise exempted pursuant to subsection (e)(2) of this section.
    2. Minor changes. The city manager, after receiving staff recommendations, may approve minor changes and deviations from the approved major development plan which are in compliance with the provisions and intent of this chapter, and which do not depart from the principal concept of the approved major development plan, and which are not major changes as described in subsection (j)(3) of this section. Minor revisions to development agreements shall be in accordance with the provisions of section 32-805(d) of the City Code.
    3. Major changes. The city manager may determine that the requested changes and deviations from a major development plan constitutes a major change to the character of the development. A requested major change shall be submitted to the city commission as a revision to the major development plan as specified in section 32-782(a)(2) to be heard at a public hearing. Major changes to major development plans shall include but not be limited to:
       1. A change in the use(s) of the planned development.
       2. Any change resulting in greater than a ten percent variance in the following plan features:
          1. An increase in floor area of proposed structures.
          2. An increase in the density of use, but not exceeding that allowed by the underlying zone.
          3. Plan revisions which increase trips and impact traffic and utilities.

The purpose and intent of the Central RAC district is to guide the redevelopment of land within the boundaries of the RAC land use category on the comprehensive plan's future land use map and the surrounding properties into a vibrant area that:

1. Provides a mix of uses within a pedestrian-friendly environment to meet the daily needs of workers, residents, and visitors;
2. Encourages higher densities and intensities within a half-mile of the planned commuter rail station;
3. Establishes a desirable residential location with a variety of housing types, including affordable housing units, to accommodate a diverse population;
4. Promotes the optimum use of transit by maintaining and enhancing a continuous, inter-connected network of pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly streets that effectively links transit stations, bike routes, sidewalks, buildings, and open spaces;
5. Provides public open space in the form of parks, plazas, and greens; and
6. Encourages investment by accommodating new development at a range of scales including individual infill buildings and large redevelopment projects.

1. The locations and boundaries of the Central RAC subdistricts shall be shown on both a map entitled "City of Hallandale Beach Zoning Map" and a map entitled "Hallandale Beach Central RAC Regulating Plan." The Hallandale Beach Central RAC Regulating Plan depicts additional information necessary to apply the standards contained in this section and is hereby officially adopted as an integral part of these regulations. To create the vibrant, diverse character envisioned for the Central RAC, six subdistricts are hereby created and assigned to land, as shown on both a map entitled, "Hallandale Beach Zoning Map" and a map entitled, "Hallandale Beach Central RAC Regulating Plan":
   1. RAC Corridor.
   2. Transit Core.
   3. RAC Neighborhood.
   4. Transitional Mixed Use.
   5. District 8.
   6. Greyhound Track.
2. The Hallandale Beach Central RAC Regulating Plan depicts additional information necessary to apply the standards contained in this division and is hereby officially adopted as an integral part of these regulations.
   1. Primary and secondary streets. Primary streets are intended to develop overtime as superior pedestrian environments and, as such, are held to higher standards in the regulations regarding building placement, building frontage, and the location of parking and service uses. Streets not designated as primary streets are considered secondary streets, which will accommodate service functions and vehicular-oriented development needs including parking, loading, and drive-through facilities.
   2. Future connections. Potential future connections are illustrated on the regulating plan. Future connections are desired new vehicular and/or pedestrian connections to, or extensions of, existing streets or alleys that will improve the overall transportation network. Future connection designations are not precise alignments or specific locations. The appropriateness of and final street designation, alignment, location, and dedication of these intended links of the transportation network will be determined during the development review process by the city commission.
   3. General location of the Tri-Rail Coastal Link Station. The general location of the planned Tri-Rail Coastal Link station is mapped on the regulating plan. The station area supports the more intense subdistricts of the RAC and parking requirements are adjusted based on the proximity to this transportation resource.

1. Permitted and conditional uses. Table 32-193(a), allowable uses by subdistrict, identifies uses that are allowed as permitted or conditional uses in each Central RAC subdistrict as well as uses that are not permitted in each subdistrict. Uses identified with a "P" are permitted by right. Uses identified with a "C" are permitted subject to the standards in section 32-964, conditional uses, and additional standards in each subdistrict. Uses identified with a "-" are not permitted in the subdistrict.
2. Accessory uses. Each Central RAC subdistrict allows the accessory uses and structures described in section 32-242(a) and (b), permitted accessory uses. All accessory uses and structures must comply with the special regulations in section 32-243, special regulations. Unless otherwise directed in section 32-242, permitted accessory uses, accessory uses and structures shall be located behind the main building facade and may be placed as close as five feet to rear and side property lines.

(Ord. No. 2014-31, § 24(Exh. B), 11-5-2014; Ord. No. 2016-20, § 1, 10-19-2016; Ord. No. 2018-024, § 4, 9-17-2018; Ord. No. 2019-018, § 1, 12-4-2019; Ord. No. 2023-010, § 3, 5-17-2023; Ord. No. 2024-005, § 2, 1-17-2024)

1. Building height. Unless otherwise specified herein, the height of buildings shall be measured in and regulated by the number of stories. Increasing the maximum number of stories allowed in a central RAC subdistrict may not be approved as a variance or waiver. Stories are measured from the floor to the bottom of the lowest structural member that supports the story above. See Figure 32-194(a).
   1. Stories located below grade are not counted for the purpose of measuring building height. In all subdistricts, if this floor is elevated more than five feet above the adjacent sidewalk or, if no sidewalk is in place more than five feet above the crown of the adjacent street, the space below counts as the ground (first) story for the purposes of measuring building height.
   2. The ground story of commercial or mixed-use buildings shall be ten feet to 18 feet tall; any ground story taller than 18 feet will count as two stories for the purpose of measuring building height. In cases where the first story must be taller to accommodate internal waste disposal, the first floor is permitted a maximum height of 22 feet and will count as one story.
   3. The ground story of residential buildings shall be nine feet to 14 feet tall.
   4. Each story above the ground story in all buildings must be nine feet to 12 feet tall; any upper story taller than 12 feet will count as two stories for the purpose of measuring building height.
   5. Mezzanines that exceed the percentage of floor area for a mezzanine defined in the Florida Building Code are counted as a story for the purpose of measuring height.
   6. Each parking garage level exposed to a street or civic open space shall be counted as a story for the purposes of measuring height. Parking levels fully concealed from view by a story containing an active use, such as residential, office, or retail, are not counted as stories for the purpose of measuring height. See Figure 32-194(b).
   7. Buildings must have the floor of the first habitable story elevated to meet the minimum floor elevations specified in chapter 8, section 8-81 of this Code plus any regulatory freeboard.
   8. Flat roofs shall be enclosed by parapets no less than 42 inches high, or as required to screen equipment.
   9. Mechanical equipment necessary to the operation or maintenance of the building such as, but not limited to, elevator, stair, and mechanical penthouses, cooling towers, vent stacks and antennae shall be enclosed and screened in such a manner that the enclosure is an integral part of the overall building design and provides a balanced and graceful silhouette, and ameliorates the visual impact from adjacent buildings. Minor features not exceeding one foot in height shall be exempted from this regulation. The incorporation of green energy resources, such as photovoltaic cells, is encouraged; however, significant features, such as windmills, require approval by the development services director.
   10. Architectural features such as church spires, steeples, belfries, cupolas, or similar, structures are not limited by story height.

2. Building placement.
   1. Front setbacks shall be measured from the property lines coinciding with public rights-of-way, including streets and parks, or from civic open spaces that meet the requirements in section 32-202. See Figure 32-194(c).

      Figure 32-194(c) Building Frontage Requirement

      

      
      

   2. In subdistricts that allow development with no side or rear setback, the following limitations also apply:
      1. Side and rear setbacks are required only when an abutting property has a building existing as of the effective date of this ordinance [November 5, 2014] with windows facing the adjoining lot line. Then, new development shall set back to provide at least ten feet of separation between the existing and new buildings.
      2. All light and air shafts, including those necessary per the percentage of openings on building facades, shall be provided within the lot pursuant to the Florida Building Code.
3. Frontage percentages. Building frontage is the percentage of the total width of a lot which is required to be occupied by the primary facade of a building. Each subdistrict provides minimum building frontages.
   1. The primary facade shall be parallel to the right-of-way, located in accordance with the minimum and maximum front setback requirements of the subdistrict.
   2. The location of the primary facade is not changed by architectural elements such as cornices, bay windows, awnings, porches, balconies, stoops, colonnades, arcades or forecourts.
   3. The primary facade may adjust around a civic open space that meets the requirements in § 32-202 as shown in Figure 32-194(c).
4. Architectural standards. In all RAC subdistricts, the following architectural standards apply:
   1. Building facades facing streets or civic open spaces must have transparent windows covering a minimum of 20 percent and a maximum of 75 percent of the wall area of each story as measured between finished floors. Transparent means non-solar, non-mirrored glass with a light transmission reduction of no more than 20 percent.
   2. Windows and doors shall be vertically proportioned. Horizontal fenestration openings can meet this requirement by using muntins to subdivide glazed areas into vertical or square areas, or by using a series of vertically proportioned windows within the opening. Transom windows may be horizontal and semi-circular windows are permitted. Circular and square windows may be used as limited accent elements within the facade.
   3. All parapets shall have a cornice molding extending a minimum of two inches from the surface plane of the wall.
   4. An expression line shall be provided at the top of the first or second story. Expression lines shall be moldings extending a minimum of two inches from the surface plane of the building wall. Expression lines are intended to be continuous facade elements and may not be covered by awnings or signs. Significant architectural elements such as columns, pilasters, and towers may interrupt expression lines.
   5. Building facades shall be designed to visually screen parking and minimize large expanses of blank walls. Appropriate facade design incorporates the consistent use of materials and construction assemblies, fenestration patterns, architectural articulation, and features such as, but not limited to, the application of architectural screens, louvers, or glass, and the incorporation of vegetated surfaces and planters. Paint, faux treatments, scoring, construction joints, lighting, and material projections less than two inches are permitted, but do not fulfill the facade design requirements.

      Figure 32-194(d) Character Examples for Screening Parking and Blank Walls

      The Clematis Street garage utilizes consistent building materials with fenestration patterns to establish an attractive facade screening the parking levels over the retail space.	The Lincoln Theater has the building circulation located along the streets, behind an architectural glass facade, screening the large expanses of blank walls associated with movie theaters.

   6. In the absence of a building facade, a streetwall is required along both primary and secondary streets. Streetwalls shall be three feet to three feet six inches in height, located in line with the building facade or the front setback. Streetwalls shall be composed of either an opaque wall using the same material and color as the building or of a continuous, maintained hedge. In addition, one shade tree per 25 lineal feet, uniformly spaced, shall be installed along the length of the streetwall.
   7. An opaque, masonry wall six feet in height shall be built on the property line along all side and rear lot lines that abut single-family houses existing as of the date of this ordinance (Nov. 5, 2014) or lots in a residential zoning district. In addition one shade tree shall be planted every 20 feet along the wall.
5. Minimum floor area for units. Minimum floor area for multifamily residential dwelling units shall be as shown in Table 32-194(b).

   Table 32-194(b) Minimum Floor Area for Multi-Family Dwelling Units

   Minimum per unit (sq. ft.)	Minimum average (sq. ft.)
   350	750

   1. Dwelling units with a minimum floor area of 500 square feet or less may be counted as 0.5 dwelling units for residential density calculations.
   2. When affordable housing units are required, such units shall be proportionately distributed amongst unit types and sizes throughout the building(s) and site.
   3. The minimum average floor area as provided in Table 32-194(b) may be reduced to 500 square feet for the following developments:
      1. Minor developments on platted development sites that are less than or equal to 7,500 square feet.
      2. Developments where all residential units are made affordable to very-low-income persons as defined in the Florida Statutes and maintained for a period of at least 30 years guaranteed through a restrictive covenant in a form acceptable to the city attorney.
6. Other standards. Other standards also apply to central RAC subdistricts:
   1. Frontage standards are in section 32-201.
   2. Civic open spaces standards are in section 32-202.
   3. Parking standards are in section 32-203.
   4. Street and block standards are in section 32-204.

      4. Storefront;
      5. Arcade/colonnade;
      6. Porch.
6. Other applicable standards. See section 32-194, configuration of buildings, and section 32-203, Central RAC parking standards; for standards that also apply to the RAC Greyhound track subdistrict.

(Ord. No. 2014-31, § 24(Exh. B), 11-5-2014; Ord. No. 2016-20, § 1, 10-19-2016; Ord. No. 2020-020, § 1, 9-2-2020; Ord. No. 2024-015, § 2, 6-5-2024)

The central RAC subdistricts and Hallandale Beach Boulevard subdistrict establish a predictable spatial framework to create a pedestrian-friendly environment supportive of infill redevelopment and multi-modal transportation options. Frontage standards ensure a superior pedestrian environment develops over time that improves the overall visual appearance and use of streets. These standards define architecture and design components for the entrance(s) to buildings and the area between building facades and streets.

1. Frontage types. The entrance(s) of every building shall be directly accessible from and face a public right-of-way or civic open space. Frontage types define architectural characteristics for the detailing of these building entrances. Six distinct frontage types have been identified, which are appropriate for different types of buildings and uses. Table 32-201(a) identifies the frontage types appropriate for each subdistrict by an "X". Using one or more of frontage types identified is required.

   1. Porch. A porch is an open-air structure attached to a building forming a covered entrance large enough for comfortable use as an outdoor room. Porches are generally appropriate for single-family attached or detached houses. The main building facade is typically setback from the property line, creating a private front yard. Table 32-201(b) provides the dimensional requirements and the maximum allowable encroachment permitted by the subdistrict. Figure 32-201(a) illustrates the dimensional requirements from Table 32-201(b) and Figure 32-201(b) provides a character example.

   2. Stoop. A stoop is a small staircase leading to the entrance of a building that may be covered. The elevation of the stoop is necessary to ensure privacy for residential uses in the ground story of buildings. Stoops should provide sufficient space for a person to comfortably pause before entering or after exiting the building. Stoops are frontage types typically associated with townhouses and other residential building types. Table 32-201(c) provides the dimensional requirements and the maximum allowable encroachment permitted by the subdistrict. Figure 32-201(c) illustrates the dimensional requirements from Table 32-201(c) and Figure 32-201(d) provides a character example.

   3. Bracketed balcony. A bracketed balcony is second-story platform projecting from the building wall, enclosed by a railing or balustrade, supported by brackets. The bracketed balcony is located over the main building entry, which provides cover for a person entering or exiting the building, emphasizes the entryway, and creates a semi-public space overlooking the street. Bracketed balconies are typically associated with buildings with commercial uses in the ground story; however, bracketed balconies can be used on residential buildings when combined with a stoop.
      1. Table 32-201(d) provides the dimensional requirements and the maximum allowable encroachment permitted by the subdistrict. Figure 32-201(e) illustrates the dimensional requirements from Table 32-201(d) and Figure 32-201(f) provides a character example.

         2. Brackets shall be designed to reflect their intended structural role and to define the entryway.
   4. Forecourt. A forecourt is an open area in front of the main building entrance(s) designed as a small garden or hardscaped plaza. The forecourt may afford access to one or more first floor units and may incorporate storefronts for retail uses. The forecourt is suitable for outdoor seating for residents or restaurants. Forecourts are typically associated with multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial buildings.
      1. Table 32-201(e) provides the dimensional requirements and the maximum allowable encroachment permitted by the subdistrict. Figure 32-201(g) illustrates the dimensional requirements from Table 32-201(e) and Figure 32-201(h) provides a character example.

      2. Forecourt elements
         1. Low walls or balustrades may extend into the front setback and shall be at least two feet six inches tall and shall not exceed three feet six inches in height.
         2. Low walls shall be constructed of similar material as the principal building, or be composed of a continuous, maintained hedge.
         3. Forecourts may be combined with the storefront frontage type.
         4. Awnings, if proposed, shall project at least four feet and no more than two feet from the edge of curb.
         5. Awnings shall be consistent with the architecture of the building. Internally illuminated or vinyl awnings are prohibited.
   5. Storefront. The storefront is a frontage type placed along the property line, and is typically associated with retail and mixed-use buildings. The storefront must be designed in a way that promotes an attractive, convenient shopping experience. Storefronts are typically at sidewalk grade and are usually shaded by awnings or arcades.
      1. Storefront dimensions. Table 32-201(f) provides the dimensional requirements and the maximum allowable encroachment. Figure 32-201(i) illustrates the dimensional requirements from Table 32-201(f) and Figure 32-201(j) provides a character example.
         1. Storefronts shall extend across at least 70 percent of the commercial/retail space.
         2. Storefronts shall be directly accessible from sidewalks; storefront doors may be recessed up to ten feet.

Internally illuminated or plastic awnings are prohibited.
         3. Each ground story business may have one wall sign per street front. The wall sign shall be no greater than three feet in height by 60 percent of the width of the tenant space along the street front. The wall sign shall be located over the first story, below the second story. A name or logo printed on the awnings shall be considered as square footage against the overall dimensions of the sign band.
         4. Each ground story business may have one pedestrian blade sign per street front. Pedestrian blade signs may extend up to four feet from the building facade and shall not exceed three feet in vertical dimension, including all mounting brackets and hardware, with a maximum sign area of six square feet. Pedestrian blade signs shall be set back at least two feet from the end of the building or storefront. Pedestrian blade signs may not be internally illuminated.
         5. Window signs advertising special sales, events or services, store hours, and store name may be affixed to the inside of a window provided that their total area does not exceed 25 percent of the window area.
         6. Storefronts may be combined with forecourts or arcade/colonnades.

            Figure 32-201(k) - Storefront Composition and Signage Examples

            

   6. Arcade/colonnade. An arcade/colonnade is a covered, unglazed, linear hallway attached to the front of a building, supported by columns or pillars. The arcade/colonnade extends into the public right-of-way, over the sidewalk, creating a shaded environment ideal for pedestrians and conducive to retail. In arcades, upper stories of the building extend over the passageway. This frontage type is typically associated with retail and mixed-use buildings.
      1. Arcade/colonnade dimensions. Table 32-201(g) provides the dimensional requirements and the maximum allowable encroachment. Figure 32-201(l) illustrates the dimensional requirements from Table 32-201(g) and Figure 32-201(m) provides a character example.
         1. Arcades/colonnades shall extend over the sidewalk. A sidewalk should not run parallel to an arcade or colonnade, which allows pedestrians to bypass retail or commercial windows. Use of the arcade/colonnade requires entering into a right-of-way agreement between the property owner and the city. This agreement shall establish liability and insurance responsibilities in a form acceptable to the city.

            Table 32-201(g) - Dimensional Requirements for Arcade/Colonnades

            Dimension		Minimum	Maximum
            A	Building Setback	varies by subdistrict
            B	Arcade/Colonnade Depth	10 feet	20 feet

         2. Arcades/colonnades shall have a clear depth between the interior face of the columns and the building facade of at least ten feet and no more than 20 feet. If the distance between the property line and the face of curb is not sufficient to accommodate the minimum depth required for an arcade/colonnade, the building shall set back accordingly. If the distance between the property line and the face of curb is wide enough that using the minimum building setback results in an arcade with a clear depth greater than 12 feet, the minimum front setback may be administratively reduced by the development services director, taking into consideration the ultimate location of the face of curb based on the street design standards for the community redevelopment area.
         3. Arcades/colonnades shall have a clear height above the sidewalk of at least 12 feet.
         4. Support columns or pillars shall be placed no farther apart than they are tall, and shall be placed two to four feet from the face of the curb.
         5. Open-air terraces and habitable stories may extend over the arcade, up to the fourth story.
         6. Arcade/colonnade ceilings shall be designed with coffers or exposed beams extruding at least six inches, aligned with columns or pillars.
      2. Arcade/colonnade elements.
         1. Arcade/colonnades shall be combined with storefronts.
         2. The height and proportions of the arcade/colonnade shall be consistent with the style and proportions of the building to which it is attached.
         3. Each ground story business may have one wall sign not exceeding three feet in height by 60 percent of the storefront width on the first story facade of the arcade/colonnade.
         4. Each ground story business may have one wall sign under the covered area, not exceeding two feet in height by 60 percent of the storefront width.
         5. Each ground story business may have one pedestrian blade sign under the covered area. Pedestrian blade signs may extend up to four feet from the building facade and shall not exceed three feet in vertical dimension, including all mounting brackets and hardware, with a maximum sign area of six square feet. Pedestrian blade signs shall be set back at least two feet from the end of the building or storefront. Pedestrian blade signs may not be internally illuminated.
         6. Potted landscaping or ground planting shall be provided between the face of the columns or pillars and the face of curb.

   7. Lobby entry. The lobby entry is a frontage type that emphasizes the main entrance to the reception area of a building with a significant architectural feature. The lobby entry type provides an integral architectural element that provides a sheltered area to congregate in front of the main entrance to a commercial, mixed-use, multi-family, or civic building. The entry may be at sidewalk level or elevated.
      1. Lobby entry dimensions. Table 32-201(h) provides the dimensional requirements and the maximum allowable encroachment permitted for certain elements. Figures 32-201(o) and 32-201(p) provide character examples.
         1. Lobby entry features shall be consistent with the architecture of the building and encroaching elements shall be harmonious in scale and proportion to the building.
         2. Lobby entries shall be directly accessible from the sidewalk and may be recessed up to ten feet.
         3. Overhangs or awnings may encroach into the front setback area up to ten feet.
         4. Columns, pilasters, and posts may encroach into the front setback up to five feet.

      2. Pedestrian walkway. In order to ensure a superior pedestrian realm develops overtime, a pedestrian walkway may be required to augment public sidewalk widths, especially along narrow rights-of-way. A pedestrian walkway is an area that forms a continuous route for pedestrians, which is unobstructed by trees, landscaping, street lights, utility poles, etc. Pedestrian walkways may be composed of public sidewalks, hardscape on private property, or a combination of the two.

         Figure 32-201(q)

         Examples of Providing a Required 10-ft. Wide Pedestrian Walkway

         

         
         

         LEFT: A sidewalk ten feet in width is provided within the public right-of-way; therefore, no on-site pedestrian walkway is required.

         RIGHT: A sidewalk with trees in planters has a clear route five feet wide in the public right-of-way; therefore, five additional feet in width is provided within the front setback.

         
         

         Table 32-201(i) - Dimensional Requirements for Pedestrian Walkways per Subdistrict

         Subdistrict	Primary Street	Secondary Street
         RAC corridor	10 feet	8 feet
         Transit core	10 feet	8 feet
         RAC neighborhood	5 feet	5 feet
         Transitional mixed use	10 feet	8 feet
         District 8	8 feet	8 feet
         Greyhound track	8 feet	6 feet
         Hallandale Beach Boulevard West	10 feet	6 feet
         Hallandale Beach Boulevard East	10 feet	6 feet

         1. Width of pedestrian walkway. The minimum width of pedestrian walkways shall be provided as depicted in Table 32-201(i). The proposed pedestrian walkway shall be demonstrated on site plans. In order to accommodate the required width of the pedestrian walkway, increasing the front setback beyond the minimum amount allowed by the subdistrict may be necessary and buildings shall set back further than the maximum allowed per subdistrict, if necessary. In the event the maximum front setback does not provide adequate space, the pedestrian walkway may be accommodated within the arcade/colonnade frontage type to meet the intent of the code.
         2. Where an existing public sidewalk adjoins the property line, the paved area of the public sidewalk and the pedestrian walkway shall connect, thereby expanding the perceived width of the public sidewalk. An existing, adjoining public sidewalk may be counted toward fulfilling the minimum clear width of a pedestrian walkway.
         3. All paving materials for the pedestrian walkway shall be compliant with ADA accessibility standards, and shall be constructed of concrete consistent with the adjacent sidewalk and acceptable to the development services and engineering departments.
         4. Where a sidewalk or a pedestrian walkway crosses vehicular ingress/egress points, the pedestrian crossing shall be paved with material consistent with the paving material of the sidewalk or walkway, and shall be clearly distinguished from the vehicular surface.
      3. Street trees. Street trees are intended to provide a shaded environment for the pedestrian, provide a physical separation between pedestrians and vehicles, and improve the overall visual appearance of the street.
         1. All new construction, relocation of a building, or addition equal to or greater than 20 percent of the gross floor area of an existing building shall install street trees at the time of development. Street trees shall be a canopy species, planted in the public right-of-way directly in front of the property line(s), uniformly spaced no greater than 25 feet on center. Spacing of trees may only exceed 25 feet in order to accommodate curb cuts, fire hydrants, utilities, existing trees, and other infrastructure elements. Palm varieties may be used at corners, crosswalks, or to accent building entrances and may be permitted in lieu of shade trees when physical conditions may prevent the proper growth of shade trees, as determined by the development services director. Consistency in street tree species shall be established on both sides of the street along a block face. The first to develop shall establish the species for the entire block.

(2) Street trees shall be planted in planting strips, landscaped planters or tree grates consistent with city street design standards. Street trees shall be located along the curb side, in order to separate pedestrians from vehicular lanes.

(3) All trees shall satisfy the following standards at the time of planting:

(i) Canopy species: Minimum 15 feet in height with a clear trunk space of six feet and a spread of no less than eight feet.

(ii) Palm trees: Minimum 20 feet in height, with a clear trunk space of eight feet.

(4) In the event that site constraints such as utility easements prevent the installation of required street trees, removable planters of small palms and small shrubs, vines or seasonal flowers shall be installed. In addition, the building shall provide devices such as awnings or roof overhangs to establish a shaded pedestrian environment.

(Ord. No. 2014-31, § 24(Exh. B), 11-5-2014; Ord. No. 2021-003, § 3, 3-17-2021; Ord. No. 2023-010, § 3, 5-17-2023)

Editor's note(s)—Ord. No. 2021-003, § 3, adopted March 17, 2021, changed the title of § 32-201 from "frontage standards" to "frontage types."

1. Civic open spaces. Civic open spaces are maintained outdoor spaces which are accessible by the general public, improve the pedestrian environment, are aesthetically pleasing, and serve as an amenity for the city as a whole as well as for occupants of the building which the open space serves. Civic open spaces are generally constructed by landowners during the development process.
   1. Amount. On sites 40,000 square feet or more in size, new buildings or additions of gross floor area equal to 50 percent or more to existing buildings, shall provide at least five percent of the size of the site, or portion of the site proposed for development in a multi-phased project, as civic open space(s). Dedicated rights-of-way may not count toward fulfilling the required amount.
   2. Types of civic open spaces. Civic open space shall be designed as one of the following types:
      1. Green. A green is at least 2,000 square feet in size and adjoins streets on at least two sides or a pedestrian passageway and a street. Greens are designed primarily for passive uses, consisting primarily of lawn with either formally or informally arranged landscaping.
      2. Plaza. A plaza is at least 2,000 square feet in size and adjoins a street on at least two sides or a pedestrian passageway and a street. Plazas are mostly hardscaped with formal landscaping and a water feature.
      3. Playground. A playground shall be at least 2,500 square feet in size. Playgrounds shall provide children's play equipment and shaded seating. Playgrounds adjoin a street on at least one side and the proposed configuration should ensure easy surveillance of the area from the adjacent buildings and streets.
      4. Square. A square is at least 10,000 square feet and adjoins streets on at least three sides. Squares may be up to 50 percent hardscaped, with formal landscaping. Squares accommodate both passive uses and community gatherings.
      5. Attached green. The attached green is generally 3,000 to 6,000 square feet and spans the entire length of a block. Attached greens shall be at least 30 feet wide and are appropriate on the short end of a block. Attached greens are formally landscaped.

         Figure 32-202

         Civic Open Spaces

         

   3. Configuration. Civic open spaces shall be configured as follows:
      1. The civic open space shall adjoin a street front property line for no less than 30 linear feet.
      2. Except for attached greens, civic spaces shall have a proportion so that the depth is no more than two and one-half times the width, and the width is no more than five times the depth.
      3. Civic open spaces shall be lined by building facades or streets on all sides. In order to provide oversight of the space, buildings facing civic open spaces shall contain habitable uses; parking lots, parking garages, and storage areas are not considered habitable uses.
   4. Additional standards. Civic open spaces shall meet the following minimum standards:
      1. Civic open spaces must be accessible to the public during all daylight hours.
      2. Civic open spaces must be situated to allow easy ingress and egress by pedestrians. Except for playgrounds, which may be fenced, no streetwalls, gates, fences or other impediments to pedestrian accessibility shall be permitted along the frontage line.
      3. Civic open spaces must be located at the sidewalk level.
      4. Civic open spaces must be open to the sky; however, open-air garden structures such as gazebos or trellises are permitted within civic open spaces.
      5. Landscaping shall be arranged in a manner reflective of description of the type of civic open space. One shade tree per 20 feet of perimeter of the space is required. Trees may be arranged in regular spacing or in informal clusters, depending on the type of open space. Trees shall be installed to provide shade along walkways and for benches. Substituting shade trees for multiple palm species is not permitted; however, adding palms to the landscape design is permitted.
      6. Each civic open space shall provide the following street furniture elements, specifications subject to approval by the City of Hallandale Beach:
         1. One bench per 700 square feet of area;
         2. One bicycle rack with no less than four spaces;
         3. One trash receptacle;
         4. One pet clean up station.
      7. Fences are permitted only to enclose playgrounds or community gardens. Fences may be composed of wood or metal pickets and shall not exceed four feet in height.
      8. Vehicular traffic shall not be permitted within a civic open space.
      9. Civic open spaces shall be designed to enhance user safety and security using crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) principles by:
         1. Being well lighted;
         2. Having one or more focal points within the open space visible from all adjoining buildings and streets; and
         3. Having a clear landscape zone between three feet and eight feet in height providing sightlines unobstructed by berms or bushes.
   5. Availability. Civic open space shall be developed and ready for use concurrent with the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the building(s) for which the open space is required.
   6. Public benefit height option. In order to encourage projects to provide civic open space in the central RAC, increased building height and density may be approved in the RAC corridor and transit core subdistricts, provided additional criteria is met, including providing a total of seven and one-half percent of the site, or the portion of the site proposed for development in a multi-phased project, as civic open space(s).

(Ord. No. 2014-31, § 24(Exh. B), 11-5-2014; Ord. No. 2021-003, § 3, 3-17-2021)

1. Purpose of revised standards. This section provides modified regulations for off-street parking, loading zones, and bicycle parking within the central RAC zoning district. These regulations recognize that the RAC is an interconnected area with multimodal transportation options, and that improper placement of parking and mandatory duplication of the parking supply on each building site separates the various land uses from each other. This separation reduces the viability of the mixed-use districts and harms the walkability of the streets in the RAC. These regulations reflect the needs of an urban, mixed use area. When in conflict with the regulations in division 11, this section shall rule.
2. Minimum number of off-street parking spaces. The minimum number of parking spaces required in section 32-455 "Minimum parking space requirements" is modified by this section for the central RAC zoning district.
   1. Table 32-203(a) identifies the minimum number of off-street parking spaces required for the use; uses not listed shall provide parking in accordance with the amount required in section 32-455.

      Table 32-203(a) - Minimum Number of Off-street Parking Spaces Required per Use

      Single-Family Residential (Attached or Detached)
      Single-family house, townhouse, or duplex	2 spaces per unit
      Multi-Family Residential Use
      Multi-family dwelling unit—500 sq. ft. or less	0.75 spaces per unit
      Multi-family dwelling unit—501 sq. ft. or greater	1.25 spaces per unit
      Guest parking cumulatively	10% of required parking for units
      Lodging
      Hotels/motels	0.5 space for each guest room plus 1.0 space per 300 sq. ft. of ballrooms, meeting rooms, shops, restaurants, and lounges
      Business Uses
      Professional office	1 space per 300 sf. of gross floor area (GFA)
      Retail, restaurant, and other commercial uses	1 space per 300 sf. of net floor area (GLA)

   2. Once service commences on the Tri-Rail Coastal Link and the Hallandale Beach station is operational, the minimum number of off-street parking required may be multiplied by a factor of .70 for properties located within one-quarter mile of the station, measured along the closest pedestrian route between nearest building entrance and nearest station entrance.
   3. Properties located with the District 8 subdistrict are not required to provide additional parking resulting from a change of use or renovations of a building and any existing nonconforming parking layout is permitted to maintain the existing layout.
   4. Properties located within 750 feet of the planned Tri-Rail Coastal Link station (see regulating plan) are not required to provide additional parking resulting from a change in use within an existing building.
3. Location and access to off-street parking. Parking and service areas shall be accessed and located at the rear or side of the building(s) whenever possible.
   1. Location.
      1. Except for houses and duplexes that do not have a rear alley, parking is not permitted in front setbacks or in side setbacks facing streets, parks, or civic open spaces.
      2. On primary streets all parking lots shall be located to the rear of buildings. If parking in the rear is inappropriate or impossible and a RAM is requested, the city commission may require special perimeter landscape treatments to protect and improve the pedestrian experience along the street.
      3. On secondary streets, parking lots may be located on the side of buildings provided the parking is screened from view of the street by a streetwall (see section 32-194(d)(6)).
      4. Parking garage design standards.
         1. On primary streets, parking garage levels shall be fully concealed from view by a story containing active use, such as residential, office, or retail for at least 20 feet of depth.
         2. On secondary streets, parking garage levels not lined by another use shall be screened by a building facade that meets the architectural requirements in section 32-194(d).

            Figure 32-203(a)

            Parking Garage Design Standards

            

   2. Access.
      1. Except for houses and duplexes that do not have rear alleys, and properties located within the fashion/art/design subdistrict, parking shall not be accessed by backing onto public streets.
      2. Access drives shall not exceed 24 feet in width.
      3. On primary streets, alleys or secondary streets shall be the primary source of vehicular access to off-street parking, except that access to parking in the fashion/arts/design subdistrict is not permitted from NE 2nd Avenue for properties south of NW 3rd Street.
      4. When neither alleys nor secondary streets are present, primary vehicular access may be from a primary street. In the instance that site constraints necessitate access from a primary street, and the provision of an access drive precludes meeting the minimum building frontage percentage required, the development services director may administratively allow a reduction from the minimum building frontage in order to allow vehicular access to the site.
      5. Alleys may be incorporated into parking lots and garages as standard drive aisles and vehicles may back out onto alleys. Access to all properties adjacent to the alley shall be maintained.
      6. When an alley is not present, vehicular access between adjacent parcels across property lines is required, and shall be accommodated within the site layout. The first property owner to develop shall be required to make an irrevocable offer of cross-access to the adjacent parcels prior to issuance of a development order. When adjacent property develops, a reciprocal cross-access agreement is required, and the physical connection shall be completed by both property owners.
      7. Parking lots and structures shall provide pedestrian access directly from a street. In addition, pedestrian access may also be provided directly from a building.
      8. Buildings with more than 250 feet of street frontage on a block face shall provide a pedestrian passageway at least ten feet wide connecting the rear parking to the sidewalk in the public right-of-way that the building faces.
      9. Public sidewalks may not be interrupted or deviated to accommodate back out parking, drop-off or valet parking. The sidewalk shall continue across driveway openings.
      10. Parking lots with no more than 20 spaces and a maximum of ten spaces per corridor are exempt from the requirements of section 32-453(i)(4) requiring vehicular entry/exit in one continuous forward motion.
4. Bicycle parking and facilities. Bicycle parking and facilities shall be provided within the RAC corridor and transit core subdistricts.
   1. Minimum number of bicycle parking spaces. Bicycle parking shall be provided onsite for all uses. Bicycle parking shall be provided at five percent of total vehicular parking spaces proportionately split between long term bicycle parking for employees or residents and short-term bicycle parking for guest two spaces minimum or whichever is greater.
   2. Design and location. Visitor, employee and resident bicycle parking facilities shall be provided in a location(s) shown on the site plan that meets the following standards:
      1. Long term parking spaces shall be located in secure, weather-protected facilities intended for use as long-term, overnight, and work-day bicycle storage by dwelling unit residents, nonresidential occupants, and employees.
      2. Short term bicycle spaces shall be located in a publicly accessible area with convenient access from the building or structure and street or other bicycle right-of-way. Be clean, highly visible, secure and well-lit, and shall be located within or adjacent to civic and public open space, a building or structure, either on the ground floor, or main level (first floor) in a parking garage intended for transient or short-term use by visitors, guests, and patrons to the building or use.
      3. Provided in a safe, accessible and convenient location.
      4. Does not encroach into the minimum pedestrian walkway (see section 32-201(b)).
      5. The planning and zoning director shall review the location, design, and details of the bicycle spaces as part of the site plan review.
5. Loading zones. Design of loading zones.
   1. A "type I" off-street loading zone shall be provided as required in the Table 32-203(b), loading zone requirements per square footage in this section shall be a minimum of 12 feet by 30 feet. A "type I" off-street loading zone shall be located in a specifically designated loading area which may be adjacent to drive aisles, walkways, or attached/detached from building. Turning geometries utilized in the design of type I loading zone access shall be sufficient to accommodate a standard single unit truck (AASHTO "SU" design vehicle).
   2. A "type II" off-street loading zone shall be provided as required in the Table 32-203(b), loading zone requirements per square footage shall be a minimum 12 feet by 50 feet. A type II off-street loading zone shall only be located in a specifically designated loading area which is marked by pavement markings and signage on the site. Turning geometries utilized in the design of type II loading zones shall be sufficient to accommodate a standard, intermediate-sized semi-trailer vehicle (AASHTO "WB-40" design vehicle).
   3. Type I and type II loading zones shall have a minimum vertical clearance of 14 feet.
   4. Loading zones may not be placed where they obstruct required fire lanes and access to hydrants. Loading zones shall be located on a parcel in a place which insures convenient and safe entry and exit for the users of the loading zone, and the convenience and safety of pedestrians and motorists using the parcel.
   5. No backing into a public right-of-way shall be permitted for loading zones. Access to and from loading zones shall be clearly indicated on the parking facility site plan.
   6. Loading zones are not required for residential uses.

1. Purpose and intent. The highly connected street and block structure of the central RAC is a critical component to foster multi-modal options. Smaller block sizes reduce bike and walk distances and allow traffic to disperse using multiple routes. The standards that guide the creation of new blocks and changes to existing streets and blocks are contained in this section.
2. Block standards. The following dimensional standards promote a desirable block structure:
   1. The maximum block length should not exceed 660 feet.
   2. The maximum perimeter of a block generally should not exceed 1,800 feet, as measured along the inner edges of each street right-of-way. Block perimeters may exceed 1,800 feet, up to a maximum of 2,000 feet if one or more of the following conditions apply:
      1. The block has at least one face on an arterial street that limits access points.
      2. The block contains a public parking garage.
   3. The portion of a block between intersecting streets may not exceed 600 feet without providing either:
      1. A publicly dedicated pedestrian passageway not less than ten feet in width that provides access to another street; or
      2. An alley at least 20 feet in width that provides vehicular access to another street.
3. Existing streets. In the case of existing streets, the city will not abandon, relocate, or close streets if the block size(s) will exceed the standards in 32-204(b).

(Ord. No. 2014-31, § 24(Exh. B), 11-5-2014)

1. Approval types. Development applications may follow two different review and approval processes:
   1. Development applications in the central RAC zoning district may be approved administratively if the application:
      1. Meets all requirements of this code; and
      2. Does not exceed the base density specified for its RAC subdistrict; and
      3. Does not require any conditional uses, variances, or redevelopment area modifications.
   2. Development applications in the central RAC zoning district may be approved only by the city commission using the major development review process if the application:
      1. Meets all requirements of this code only upon approval of simultaneously requested conditional uses, variances, or redevelopment area modifications; and/or
      2. Is requesting a density level between the base density and the maximum density allowable in any central RAC subdistrict.
2. Submission requirements and procedures.
   1. Development applications in the central RAC zoning district that may be approved administratively (see subsection (a)(1) above) shall be submitted to the city using the procedures in article V of this Code, except that the development services director has the authority to approve the application administratively even if article V would otherwise require review and approval by the planning and zoning board and the city commission.
   2. Development applications in the central RAC zoning district that may be approved only by the city commission (see subsection (a)(2) above) shall be submitted to the city using the procedures in article V of this Code. These applications will be reviewed and processed as if they were major developments even if they are below the size thresholds in section 32-782(a), applicability.
3. Conditional uses and variances. The city commission may approve conditional uses and variances in the central RAC zoning district using the procedures and standards in article VIII of this Code plus any additional standards set forth in the central RAC regulations. However:
   1. These processes cannot be used to increase the number of stories above the maximum building height established for each central RAC subdistrict.
   2. These processes cannot be used to increase density levels above the base density in any central RAC subdistrict; the process for requesting a density increase (up to the maximum density) is set forth in section 32-206.
4. Redevelopment area modifications. The city commission may approve redevelopment area modifications in the central RAC zoning district using the procedures and standards in section 32-135, redevelopment area modifications, plus the following additional standards:
   1. This process cannot be used to increase the number of stories above the maximum building height established for each central RAC subdistrict.
   2. This process cannot be used to increase density levels above the base density in any central RAC subdistrict; the process for requesting a density increase (up to the maximum density) is set forth in section 32-206.
5. General rules for changes to central RAC zoning district.
   1. Overlays as contained within section 32-186.
      1. Prior mapped overlays. Portions of the central RAC zoning district had previously been included in one or more mapped overlays: North Dixie Corridor overlay, South Dixie Highway overlay, District 8 overlay, Pembroke Road overlay, Foster Road Corridor overlay, and redevelopment overlay. Relevant parts of those overlay regulations have been incorporated into the central RAC subdistrict regulations.
      2. Previously approved planned development overlays. Some individual properties in the central RAC zoning district had obtained prior approval for a site-specific "planned development district (PDD)" overlay. At the landowner's discretion:
         1. The terms of those approvals may continue to be used to obtain remaining development approvals until such time as the original approval and/or development agreement has expired; or
         2. The provisions of the central RAC zoning district may be used to obtain future development approvals without rescinding the prior "planned development" approval. However, the two methods may not be combined except to the extent that non-conformity with the current code is not furthered.
      3. Future overlays. Additional mapped or planned development overlays may be approved in the central RAC zoning district subject to the following restrictions:
         1. On sites in the RAC corridor subdistrict with five or more contiguous acres under unified control, a landowner may request a planned development overlay (PDO) and development agreement consistent with the applicable provisions of section 32-186; on sites in the greyhound track subdistrict with five or more contiguous acres in lot area under unified control, a landowner may request a planned development overlay (PDO) and development agreement consistent with the applicable provisions of section 32-186.
         2. On sites in the RAC corridor subdistrict with three to five contiguous acres under unified control, a landowner may request a planned development overlay (PDO) and development agreement consistent with the applicable provisions of section 32-186 for a period up to six months after the land was rezoned to the central RAC zoning district.
            1. The request must accompany an official development application that meets the site plan review submission requirements as set forth in article V of the City of Hallandale Beach Zoning and Land Development Code.
            2. Development approval for the application must be obtained within six months of the original request for PDO and development agreement. For good cause shown, the city manager may grant an additional six months for the development plan approval.
            3. Development approvals granted under this provision are subject to extension provisions as outlined in section 32-790 of the City of Hallandale Beach Zoning and Land Development Code.
            4. Should the site plan approval expire, the development agreement shall expire concurrently, and the PDO will be administratively removed via rezoning.
         3. All sites within a planned development overlay shall be subject to the following additional standards:
            1. Development must be consistent with the city's comprehensive plan.
            2. Allowable uses and all development regulations and requirements, including height and density shall be as specified for the RAC corridor subdistrict, except where modifications were specifically requested and explicitly approved in the planned development overlay and development agreement.
            3. Allowable uses and all development regulations and requirements, including height and density shall be as specified for the underlying subdistrict, except where modifications are specifically requested and explicitly approved in a planned development overlay and development agreement.
            4. Such modifications specifically requested and specifically approved in a planned development overlay and development agreement shall not be required to demonstrate compliance with the development regulations applicable for the underlying subdistrict.
   2. Expansions, contractions, and subdistrict adjustments. The boundary of the central RAC zoning district and the boundaries of its subdistricts may be expanded or contracted by the city commission by amending the regulating plan in section 32-192. Landowners desiring boundary changes to the regulating plan must request an amendment to the zoning and land development code instead of using the rezoning process. Requests for amendments to the regulating plan shall be advertised, posted and noticed in conformity with the requirements of section 32-1004 as to rezonings in addition to requirements for zoning code text amendments.
6. Transitional period. For applications submitted prior to September 1, 2014, staff may present an analysis of the measurable parameters of development under both regulations.

(Ord. No. 2014-31, §§ 22, 24(Exh. B), 11-5-2014; Ord. No. 2016-20, § 1, 10-19-2016; Ord. No. 2023-010, § 3, 5-17-2023)

1. Base density and maximum density. Each RAC subdistrict defines a base residential density and a maximum residential density, expressed as the number of dwelling units allowed per acre.
   1. Development up to the base density is permitted by right.
   2. Development between the base density and the maximum density requires a RAC residential density allocation as described in section 32-796.
   3. Development above the maximum density cannot be approved.
2. Regional activity center (RAC). The Hallandale Beach Comprehensive Plan establishes a Regional Activity Center (RAC) for an area generally bounded by Pembroke Road to the north, Federal Highway to the east, County Line Road to the south, Dixie Highway and westward along the Foster Road Corridor to the west. The purpose of the RAC is to define an area of regional significance within which transit-oriented and mixed-use development are encouraged, public transportation will be enhanced, the need for automobile travel will be reduced, redevelopment is encouraged, the walkable urban form is being enhanced, development/redevelopment proposals are encouraged in areas adjacent to major transportation corridors, and existing residential areas are protected.
3. RAC density allocation. The Hallandale Beach Comprehensive Plan and the Broward County Land Use Plan limit the total number of dwelling units within the RAC. In addition to the general density allocation procedures applicable to development applications, the following provisions apply to allocation of dwelling units in the RAC subdistricts:
   1. The Broward County Land Use Plan limits the total number of dwelling units that can be added within the RAC east of U.S. 1. Allocation of dwelling units east of U.S. 1 must be consistent with that plan.
   2.

The purpose and intent of the Hallandale Beach Boulevard district is to guide the redevelopment of land located adjacent to Hallandale Beach Boulevard within the boundaries of the general commercial land use category on the comprehensive plan's future land use map into a vibrant area that:

1. Provides an attractive entryway into the city;
2. Provides a mix of uses within a pedestrian-friendly environment to meet the daily needs of workers, residents, and visitors;
3. Promotes the optimum use of transit by creating and enhancing a continuous, pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly corridor that effectively links transit stations, bike routes, sidewalks, buildings, and open spaces;
4. Encourages investment by accommodating new development at a range of scales including individual infill buildings and large redevelopment projects; and
5. Protects adjoining single-family residential areas by ensuring compatible transitions in building scale.

(Ord. No. 2021-003, § 4, 3-17-2021)

1. The location and boundary of the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district shall be shown on the "City of Hallandale Beach Zoning Map;" to create an attractive, mixed-use corridor, two subdistricts of the Hallandale Beach Boulevard district are hereby created and assigned to land, as shown on a map entitled, "Hallandale Beach Regulating Plan":
   1. Hallandale Beach Boulevard West.
   2. Hallandale Beach Boulevard East.
2. The Hallandale Beach regulating plan depicts additional information necessary to apply the standards contained in this division and is hereby officially adopted as an integral part of these regulations.
   1. Primary and secondary streets. Primary streets are intended to develop over time as superior pedestrian environments and, as such, are held to higher standards in the regulations regarding building placement, building frontage, and the location of parking and service uses. Streets not designated as primary streets are considered secondary streets, which will accommodate service functions and vehicular-oriented development needs including parking, loading, and drive-through facilities.
   2. Incentive area. The incentive area is an area determined by its proximity to I-95 and configuration to be appropriate for accommodating large-scale redevelopment. To encourage redevelopment of significant scale in this location, increases in building height and density are possible within the incentive area.

(Ord. No. 2021-003, § 4, 3-17-2021)

1. Purpose of revised standards. This section provides modified regulations for off-street parking, loading zones and bicycle parking within the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district. These regulations recognize that improper placement of parking and mandatory duplication of the parking supply on each building site separates the various land uses from each other. This separation reduces the viability of the mixed-use districts and harms the walkability of the streets and the success of transit. These regulations reflect the needs of an urban, mixed-use area. When in conflict with the regulations in division 11, this section shall rule.
2. Minimum number of off-street parking spaces. The minimum number of parking spaces required in section 32-455 "minimum parking space requirements" is modified by this section for the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district.
   1. Table 32-214(a) identifies the minimum number of off-street parking spaces required for the use; uses not listed shall provide parking in accordance with the amount required in section 32-455.

      Table 32-214(a) - Minimum Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required per Use

      Residential Uses
      Townhouse	2 spaces per unit
      Multi-family dwelling unit—500 sq. ft. or less	0.75 spaces per unit
      Multi-family dwelling unit—501 sq. ft. or greater	1.25 spaces per unit
      Guest Parking for All Residential Uses
      Guest parking cumulatively	10% of required parking for units
      Lodging
      Hotels/motels	0.5 space for each guest room plus 1.0 space per 300 sq. ft. of ballrooms, meeting rooms, shops, restaurants, and lounges
      Business Uses
      Professional office	1 space per 300 sf. of gross (GFA) floor area
      Retail, restaurant and other commercial	1 space per 300 sf. of net (GLA) floor area

   2. Where adequate right-of-way exists, construction of additional on-street parking spaces directly and wholly abutting the lot, or parcel, may be counted towards the off-street parking requirement of the lot or parcel it is intended to serve, provided that:
      1. Such parking spaces shall be publicly accessible and cannot be reserved or restricted by the owner(s) or tenant(s) of the lot or parcel.
3. Location and access to off-street parking. Parking and service areas shall be accessed and located at the rear or side of the building(s) whenever possible.
   1. Location.
      1. On primary streets, parking lots shall be located to the side or rear of buildings. If parking in the side or rear is inappropriate or impossible and a RAM is requested, the city commission may require special perimeter landscape treatments to protect and improve the pedestrian experience along the street.
      2. On secondary streets, parking lots may be located on the side of buildings provided the parking is screened from view of the street by a street wall (see section 32-194(d)(6)).
      3. Parking garage design standards.
         1. On primary streets, all parking garage levels shall be fully concealed from view by a story containing active use, such as residential, office, or retail for at least 20 feet of depth.
         2. On secondary streets, parking garage levels not lined by another use shall be screened by a building façade that meets the architectural requirements in section 32-194(d).
         3. All parking garage facades shall meet the requirements in section 32-194(d)(5) and screen the vehicles from view. Open, non-ventilated garages must consider this requirement and create facades accordingly.

            Parking Garage Design Standards

            

            ​​​​​​
   2. Access.
      1. Access drives shall not exceed 24 feet in width.
      2. On primary streets, vehicular access drives shall be limited to the extent possible and sharing access drives between adjacent properties is encouraged. Access drives from alleys or secondary streets are not limited and should provide vehicular access to off-street parking. In the instance that the necessity of an access drive precludes meeting the minimum building frontage percentage required, the development services director may administratively allow a reduction from the minimum building frontage in order to allow vehicular access to the site.
      3. Alleys may be incorporated into parking lots and garages as standard drive aisles and vehicles may back out onto alleys. Access to all properties adjacent to the alley shall be maintained by the property owner.
      4. When an alley is not present, vehicular access between parking lots on adjacent parcels across property lines is required, and shall be accommodated within the site layout. The first property owner to develop shall be required to make an irrevocable offer of cross-access to the adjacent parcels prior to issuance of a development order. When adjacent property develops, a reciprocal cross-access agreement is required, and the physical connection shall be completed by both property owners.
      5. Parking lots and structures shall provide a five-foot wide minimum pedestrian access directly from a street. In addition, pedestrian access may also be provided directly from a building.
      6. Buildings with more than 250 feet of street frontage on a block face shall provide a pedestrian passageway at least ten feet wide connecting the rear parking to the sidewalk in the public right-of-way that the building faces.
      7. Public sidewalks may not be interrupted or deviated to accommodate back out parking, drop-off or valet parking. The sidewalk shall continue across driveway openings.
      8. Parking lots with no more than 20 spaces and a maximum of ten spaces per row are exempt from the requirements of subsection 32-453(i)(4) requiring vehicular entry/exit in one continuous forward motion.
4. Loading zones. Design of loading zones.
   1. A "type I" off-street loading zone shall be provided as required in the Table 32-214(b), loading zone requirements per square footage in this section shall be a minimum of 12 feet by 30 feet. A "type I" off-street loading zone shall be located in a specifically designated loading area which may be adjacent to drive aisles, walkways, or attached/detached from building. Turning geometries utilized in the design of type I loading zone access shall be sufficient to accommodate a standard single unit truck (AASHTO "SU" design vehicle).
   2. A "type II" off-street loading zone shall be provided as required in the Table 32-214(b), loading zone requirements per square footage shall be a minimum 12 feet by 50 feet. A type II off-street loading zone shall only be located in a specifically designated loading area which is marked by pavement markings and signage on the site. Turning geometries utilized in the design of type II loading zones shall be sufficient to accommodate a standard, intermediate-sized semi-trailer vehicle (AASHTO "WB-40" design vehicle).
   3. Type I and type II loading zones shall have a minimum vertical clearance of 14 feet.
   4. Loading zones may not be placed where they obstruct required fire lanes and access to hydrants. Loading zones shall be located on a parcel in a place which insures convenient and safe entry and exit for the users of the loading zone, and the convenience and safety of pedestrians and motorists using the parcel.
   5. No backing into a public right-of-way shall be permitted for loading zones. Access to and from loading zones shall be clearly indicated on the parking facility site plan.
   6. Loading zones are not required for residential uses.

      Table 32-214(b) - Loading Zone Requirements per Square Footage

      Square Footage of Retail, Restaurants and Other Commercial Uses (Sales, Service, or Mixed Use)	Number and Type of Loading Zones Required
      Equal to 20,000 sf but not greater than 75,000 sf	1 type II
      More than 75,000 sf but less than 150,000 sf	2 type II
      More than 150,000 sf but less than 200,000 sf	3 type II
      More than 200,000 sf	4 type II
      Area of Free-Standing Hotel and Office Use Building	Number and Type of Loading Zones Required
      Equal to 20,000 sf but not greater than 150,000 sf	1 type I

2. Submission requirements and procedures.
   1. Development applications in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district that meet subsection 32-215(a)(1) may be approved administratively, as submitted to the city using the procedures in article V of this Code, except that the development services director has the authority to approve the application administratively even if article V would otherwise require review and approval by the planning and zoning board and the city commission.
   2. Development applications in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district that may be approved only by the city commission (see subsection (a)(2) above) shall be submitted to the city using the procedures in article V of this Code. These applications will be reviewed and processed as if they were major developments even if they are below the size thresholds in subsection 32-782(a).
3. Conditional uses and variances. The city commission may approve conditional uses and variances in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district using the procedures and standards in article VIII of this Code plus any additional standards set forth in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard district regulations. However:
   1. These processes cannot be used to increase the number of stories above the maximum building height established for each Hallandale Beach Boulevard subdistrict.
   2. These processes cannot be used to increase density levels above the base density in any Hallandale Beach Boulevard subdistrict.
4. Redevelopment area modifications. The city commission may approve redevelopment area modifications in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district for any land development code standard using the procedures and standards in section 32-135, plus the following additional standards:

5. General rules for changes to Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district.
   1. Overlays.
      1. Prior mapped overlays. Portions of the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district had previously been included in the redevelopment overlay. Relevant parts of those overlay regulations have been incorporated into the Hallandale Beach Boulevard district regulations.
      2. Previously approved planned development overlays. Some individual properties in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district are designated planned development overlay (PDO) or have obtained prior approval for a site-specific "planned development overlay district (PDO)." At the landowner's discretion:
         1. The terms of those approvals may continue to be used to obtain remaining development approvals until such time as the original approval and/or development agreement has expired; or
         2. The provisions of the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district may be used to obtain future development approvals without rescinding the prior "planned development" approval. However, the two methods may not be combined except to the extent that non-conformity with the current code is not furthered.
         3. Properties designated planned development overlay (PDO) as of the effective date of this subdivision, shall retain the existing PDO designation and shall be subject to entering into a development agreement as provided in section 32-186, except that, this process cannot be used to increase density levels above the maximum specified by the city's comprehensive plan.
      3. Future overlays. Additional mapped or planned development overlays may not be approved in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district, subject to the following restrictions:
         1. On sites in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district with two or more contiguous acres under unified control, a landowner may request a planned development overlay (PDO) and development agreement consistent with the applicable provisions of section 32-186.
         2. On sites in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district with one contiguous acre under unified control, a landowner may request a planned development overlay (PDO) and development agreement consistent with the applicable provisions of section 32-186 for a period up to six months after the land was rezoned to the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district.
            1. The request must accompany an official development application that meets the site plan review submission requirements as set forth in article V of this Code.
            2. Development approval for the application must be obtained within six months of the original request for PDO and development agreement. For good cause shown, the city manager may grant an additional six months for the development plan approval.
            3. Development approvals granted under this provision are subject to extension provisions as outlined in section 32-790 of this Code.
            4. Should the site plan approval expire, the development agreement shall expire concurrently, and the PDO will be administratively removed via rezoning.
         3. Under either exception, the following additional standards shall apply:
            1. Development must be consistent with the city's comprehensive plan.
            2. Allowable uses and all development regulations and requirements, including height and density shall be as specified for the Hallandale Beach Boulevard subdistrict, except where modifications were specifically requested and explicitly approved in the planned development overlay and development agreement for the period of six months from the time the land was rezoned to the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district.
   2. Expansions, contractions, and subdistrict adjustments. The boundary of the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district and the boundaries of its subdistricts may be expanded or contracted by the city commission by amending the regulating plan in section 32-192. Landowners desiring boundary changes to the regulating plan must request an amendment to the zoning and land development code instead of using the rezoning process. Requests for amendments to the regulating plan shall be advertised, posted and noticed in conformity with the requirements of section 32-1004 as to rezonings in addition to requirements for zoning code text amendments. Such applications shall be reviewed utilizing criteria per section 32-963. New mapped or planned development overlays cannot be used in the Hallandale Beach Boulevard zoning district except as provided in subsection 32-215(e)(1)(c).
   3. Transitional period. For applications submitted prior to the effective date of Ordinance No. 2020, staff may present an analysis of the measurable parameters of development under both regulations.

(Ord. No. 2021-003, § 4, 3-17-2021)

1. Base density and maximum density. Each Hallandale Beach Boulevard subdistrict defines a base density and a maximum density, expressed as the number of dwelling units allowed per net acre.
   1. Development up to the base density is permitted by right except that allocation of residential flexibility units requires density allocation as described in section 32-796.
   2. Development between the base density and the maximum density requires residential flexibility unit density allocation as described in section 32-796.
   3. Development above the maximum density cannot be approved.
