Summary
The Town of Davie confines medical marijuana dispensing facilities to the WT & B-2 commercial district and, conditionally, the RAC-AV Mixed Use/University sub-districts: every other zoning district in this Broward County town bars them outright.
The purpose of this subsection is not to deny the residents of the Town of Davie medical marijuana as now allowed by Florida law, but to promote compliance with state laws and to ensure compatibility with the community, surrounding businesses, and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. ... Pharmacies and medical marijuana dispensing facilities shall only be permitted in the zoning districts specified in sections 12-32 and 12-437.4 of the Town Code.

Full Breakdown
Sec. 12-32's commercial-district use table permits medical marijuana dispensing facilities (marked '*') only in the WT & B-2 zone among Davie's nine base commercial districts, every other commercial, business-park, industrial, and community-facility district in the table lists an outright 'N'. Sec. 12-437.4 separately allows them conditionally ('C') within the RAC-AV Mixed Use and University sub-districts, but not the RAC-AV School sub-district. Sec. 12-33(UU) governs both use categories: its stated purpose is not to deny residents medical marijuana as allowed by Florida law, confirming Davie has not opted out under Fla. Stat. § 381.986, it instead channels dispensaries into these narrow zones.
