Hollywood boards weigh major rezoning, beach overlay district; no decisions yet published

Hollywood's planning and preservation boards met over the past two weeks to consider several development proposals, including a large mixed-use rezoning at Emerald Hills and a new overlay district for the beach area. All meetings were agenda-only, and minutes have not yet been published, so no official decisions or vote tallies are available.

Special Planning and Development Board (Aug. 4)

The board held public hearings on a rezoning request for 166.2 acres at 4100 N Hills Drive, from Country Club (CC) to Planned Development (PD). The proposal, filed as 25-JVZ-16, would allow a mixed-use project with 284 dwelling units, a clubhouse, and 40 lodging units. A related design and site plan review (25-DPJ-16) covers eight sites within the same project, including single-family, multifamily, and townhomes. The board also considered adoption of Ordinance No. O-2024-02 related to the rezoning.

Other items on the agenda:

• A design and site plan for a 4-story, 36-unit multifamily development at 2306 Van Buren Street in the DH-2 district (File 24-DP-79).
• A recommendation to the City Commission on the Washington Park Industrial Area Redevelopment Program and urban design guidelines (File 25-RESO-27).

The board also conducted new member orientation, elected officers, and approved previous meeting minutes.

The board held a quasi-judicial hearing on a proposed ordinance (File 26-Z-18) to establish the Hollywood Beach Overlay District and adopt design guidelines for the area generally east of the Intracoastal Waterway, south of East Dania Boulevard, west of the Atlantic Ocean, and north of East Hallandale Beach Boulevard. The applicant is the City of Hollywood. The board will make a recommendation to the City Commission on the text amendment to Article 4 of the Zoning and Land Development Regulations. Attachments included a staff report, overlay district map, urban design guidelines, and feasibility analysis. The board also reviewed Development Review Committee projects and approved minutes from June 9, 2026.

Historic Preservation Board (Aug. 11)

The board conducted quasi-judicial hearings on two applications for Certificates of Appropriateness for new single-family homes in the Hollywood Lakes Historic Overlay District:

• 1150 Adams Street (Dulaney LLC) – new dwelling in RS-6 zone.
• 926 Polk Street (926 Polk Street LLC) – new dwelling in RS-6 zone.

The board also approved corrected minutes from April 14 and final minutes from June 9, and reviewed a summary of appeals to the City Commission.
