The area west of Phippen Road and north of Douglas Street is zoned NBHD-RES to maintain the character of the area by requiring designs compatible with single-family dwellings. The properties east of Phippen Road and west of the railway are zoned Neighborhood Mixed-Use (NBHD-MU), which permits multi-family, commercial, and mixed-uses. Some existing uses are industrial due to prior zoning designations. The West Lawn Cemetery area is zoned Open Space (OS). Property to the south Multi-Family (RM-2), permitting a moderate density of residential development.

Future Focus:

  • Protect existing single-family residential neighborhoods from non-residential intrusion. 
  • Recognize that rising housing costs continues to affect existing homeowners, and partner to support increased housing options for all residents. 
  • Reduce poverty rates in CRA neighborhoods. 
  • Replenish the Regional Activity Center (RAC) CRA density pool. 
  • Require an affordable housing unit accommodation in future private large-scale residential entitlements. 
  • Continue the At Home Dania Beach program, which adds curb appeal through painting and landscaping.
