Denial of ESL Map Removal for Dania Beach Mangroves (Site 97)
The commission unanimously denied ordinance PCNRM 24-3 that would have removed 3.5 acres of protected mangroves from the Environmentally Sensitive Lands map at Site 97 in Dania Beach. The property, owned by Port 1850 LLC (Shlomo Malau), was purchased in 2019 for warehouse development. The City of Dania Beach formally opposed the amendment via 10/28/2025 vote. Commissioner Furr led opposition citing the land's role in filtering Port Everglades drainage before reaching Dania Beach Canal.
