Comments:

In 2013, the City of Dania Beach took major steps to revise its local zoning, land use, and development regulations to better reflect the City's vision as a destination with higher densities and a mix of uses. The City rewrote its land development code and upzoned its Regional Activity Center (RAC), which is the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). The CRA's master plan details how the site should be built (e.g. with sidewalks, etc), and the City refers developers to this plan. This Master Plan is available on the City's website. The Local Activity Center is located along Federal Highway inside the RAC.

The City has incentives to attract developers. The City allows higher densities if developers provide parks or other community projects.
