PREFACE
This Volume II constitutes a publication of the Unified Land Development Regulations of the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Source material used in the preparation of this publication of the Unified Land Development Regulations was Ordinance Number C-97-19, as amended. The source of each section is included in the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. By use of the comparative tables appearing in the back of this Code, the reader can locate any ordinance included in this volume.
Chapter, Article and Section Numbering System
The Unified Land Development Regulations are contained in this volume in chapter 47, which follows chapters 1 through 46 of the Code of Ordinances as published in volume I. The article and section numbering system used in chapter 47 is the same system as used in the original Unified Land Development Regulations ordinance and differs from the system used in volume I, chapters 1 through 46. Each major section in the ULDR has a two-part number. The number before the dash is the chapter number (47). The number after the dash refers to the position of the section within the chapter. Thus, the third major section of chapter 47 is numbered 47-3. Major sections are further divided into specific sections, which have a three-part number. The first two numbers before the decimal point refer to the major section and the number after the decimal point refers to the position of the specific section within the major section. Thus the fourth specific section in major section 47-3 is numbered 47-3.4. For the further convenience of the user, chapter 47 as a whole is divided into articles reflecting broad topics such as "Zoning District Requirements" and "Development Permits and Procedures."
Page Numbering System
The page numbering system used in this Code is a prefix system. The letters to the left of the colon are an abbreviation which represents a certain portion of the volume. The number to the right of the colon represents the number of the page in that portion. In the case of a chapter of the Code, the number to the left of the colon indicates the number of the chapter. In the case of an appendix to the Code, the letter immediately to the left of the colon indicates the letter of the appendix. The following are typical parts of codes of ordinances, which may or may not appear in this Code at this time, and their corresponding prefixes:
UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ULDR47:1 UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
COMPARATIVE TABLEULDRCCT:1 UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
STATE LAW REFERENCE TABLEULDRSLT:1 UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
INDEXULDRi:1 Index
The index has been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular item has been placed under several headings, some of which are couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by local government officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the index itself which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which the user is interested.
Looseleaf Supplements
A special feature of this publication is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental servicing of the publication. With this system, the publication will be kept up-to-date. Subsequent amendatory legislation will be properly edited, and the affected page or pages will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to holders of copies of the publication, with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages.
Keeping this publication up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the publication. As revised pages are received, it will then become the responsibility of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to the attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publisher that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference purposes.
