PID Planned Industrial District (Planned Industrial Development) Deerfield Beach, Florida

Planned-development industrial district encouraging innovative industrial/office projects by substituting design/performance criteria for rigid parameters. Processed and adopted like a PUD, but Sec. 98-57 supplies its OWN base use lists (it does not defer uses entirely to the approved plan). Except outdoor seating for restaurants, craft/artisan production and brewpubs, all business must be within a fully enclosed building.

The fine print

In plain English

BY RIGHT No hearing needed

If your business is on the by-right list, you can occupy a space in this district and open — no zoning hearing. Building permits and licensing still apply, but the use itself is already allowed.

SPECIAL Approval first

Special-approval uses can work here too, but they go through a public review before opening. Plan for extra time and possible conditions — we'll tell you which path a space needs.
