Overview

Code type
hybrid-pd
Naming convention
mixed

Hollywood uses a hybrid Euclidean-plus-form-sensitive code. The base ZLDR is Euclidean (Articles 4.1 single-family, 4.2 multifamily, 4.3 commercial, others for office/industrial), but the RAC (§4.6), Downtown CRA, and Beach CRA overlay areas introduce named sub-districts with form-based dimensional and use controls distinct from the base. PD Planned Development (§4.15) provides a floating/negotiated pathway. Platform is amlegal (codelibrary.amlegal.com), NOT Municode as v1 indicated. — Hollywood-specific flags (non-canonical): coastal-fl, cccl-exposed, chha-exposed, live-local-active, fll-part77-adjacent, rac-downtown, cra-beach, cra-downtown — Naming convention details: Euclidean base districts with abbreviation-encoded designations (RS-1..RS-8 single-family, RM-9/RM-12/RM-18/RM-WET multifamily, C-1..C-5 commercial, O-1..O-3 office, M-1/M-2 industrial) combined with named form-sensitive sub-districts inside the Regional Activity Center (RAC) and Beach Community Redevelopment Area (BCRA) — e.g. RC-2 Historic Retail Core, YC Young Circle Mixed-Use, FH-1/FH-2 Federal Highway — governed by §4.6 ZLDR.

Worth knowing
  • Platform correction: amlegal, not Municode — v1 profile and v1 research markdown cited library.municode.com/fl/hollywood as the code source. The canonical Hollywood ZLDR is hosted on amlegal (codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/hollywood/latest/hollywoodldr_fl/). Gridics (codehub.gridics.com/us/fl/hollywood; map.gridics.com/us/fl/hollywood) is the city-integrated interactive zoning map/code viewer referenced from hollywoodfl.org/1287. Municode was the wrong platform for v1. — [codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/hollywood/latest/hollywoodldr_fl/; hollywoodfl.org/1287/Interactive-Zoning-Land-Use-Map-and-Zoni]
  • District code fabrication in v1 (FM-1) — v1 profile listed SF-1, SF-2, TH-1, MF-1, MF-2, MF-3, C-1..C-4, I-1, I-2, MU-1, MU-2, MU-3 district codes. The actual ZLDR district roster is RS-1..RS-8 (§4.1 single-family), RM-9, RM-12, RM-18, RM-WET (§4.2 multifamily), C-1..C-5 (§4.3 commercial), O-1/O-2/O-3 (office), M-1/M-2 (industrial), plus §4.6 RAC sub-districts (RC-2, YC, FH-1, FH-2, Downtown, Beach, etc.) and §4.15 PD. v1 codes do not exist in the ZLDR — these were FM-1 pattern-overreach fabrications. v2 restores canonical codes; v1 dimensional values preserved at partial confidence where they map to a plausible canonical district (RS-1 <- v1 SF-1; RM-9 <- v1 MF-1; etc.). — [§4.1, §4.2, §4.3, §4.6, §4.15 ZLDR per amlegal]
  • RAC Downtown drives jurisdiction-wide density ceiling (Live Local Act reference) — Hollywood's base multifamily ceiling is RM-18 (18 du/ac). The Regional Activity Center Downtown, Young Circle (YC), and Federal Highway (FH-1/FH-2) sub-districts per §4.6 permit substantially higher density. Under Live Local Act, a qualifying affordable project on any C-1..C-5, M-1/M-2, or RAC/BCRA parcel can claim the highest-in-jurisdiction density — which is the RAC Downtown sub-district ceiling (exact value deferred to next pass), far above RM-18. — [§4.6 ZLDR; §166.04151(7) F.S.]

State preemptions

FL Live Local Act — SB 102 (2023) + SB 328 (2024)applies
Qualifying condition
Applies to all Florida municipalities regardless of population. Per-parcel trigger: parcel zoned commercial (C-1..C-5), industrial (M-1/M-2), or mixed-use (YC Young Circle, RC-2 Historic Retail Core, FH-1/FH-2, other RAC sub-districts) AND >=40% of units affordable at or below 120% AMI (Broward County 120% AMI for 4-person HH ~$113,500 in 2024). Hollywood has an active RAC-Downtown / Beach CRA planning regime; several LLA projects have proceeded in Downtown, along Federal Highway, and on US-1/Young Circle through this pathway since 2023.
Effect
On qualifying C, M, or MU parcels: (a) multifamily permitted by right; (b) density floor = highest residential density allowed anywhere in the jurisdiction. Hollywood's jurisdictional density ceiling is driven by RAC sub-districts (Downtown Core and Young Circle permit significantly above the ~35 du/ac RM-18 base ceiling via the RAC §4.6 density framework); (c) height floor = tallest residential zoning height permitted within 1 mile OR tallest existing residential building adjacent (whichever applies per §166.04151(7)); SB 328 (2024) adjacency-tempering caps at 150% of tallest residential height within 1 mile where parcel abuts single-family; (d) mandatory >=20% parking reduction (SB 328); near major transit stop triggers stronger reduction; (e) administrative/by-right approval — city cannot impose conditions beyond objective building code; (f) 2024 hotel/motel-to-affordable conversion pathway applies (material in Hollywood's beach hotel inventory). Federal conflict: height floors must still yield to FAA Part 77 surfaces for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) approach/transition surfaces, which cover much of east Hollywood south of Hollywood Blvd.
FL ADU Preemption — HB 1205 (2024) / related ADU Home Rule clarifierapplies
Qualifying condition
FL ADU framework permits local governments to adopt ordinances allowing accessory dwelling units in single-family zoning districts to address affordable housing supply. Statewide preemption-light framework — local opt-in preferred, but HB 1205 (2024) strengthened the statewide framework. Hollywood's RS-1..RS-8 districts cover the overwhelming majority of residential land area; ADU implementation at the local level is the mechanism. ADU policy development is ongoing at the city level; the state framework sets the floor for what the city cannot unreasonably restrict.
Effect
Hollywood ADU policy must be consistent with the state ADU framework: cannot impose unreasonable owner-occupancy requirements, cannot blanket-prohibit ADUs in single-family districts where the city has adopted an ADU ordinance, must process as administrative review where state-ADU-compliant.
Retrieval issue
Hollywood's current ADU ordinance text and administrative procedures not retrieved in this pass; recommend direct retrieval from ZLDR Article 4.1 and any supplemental accessory-unit provisions.
FL Coastal Construction Control Line — Ch. 161applies
Qualifying condition
Hollywood has ~6.5 miles of Atlantic Ocean beachfront (Hollywood Beach, North Beach, South Beach, Hallandale Beach border). The FDEP-mapped CCCL runs the full beach frontage from Dania Beach on the north to Hallandale Beach on the south. All parcels seaward of the CCCL require FDEP permit under §161.053 in addition to city ZLDR compliance. Hollywood's is_in_cccl_jurisdiction = true (confirmed from FDEP Broward County CCCL data).
Effect
Any construction, excavation, or site alteration seaward of the CCCL requires FDEP CCCL permit; structural and siting standards controlled by FDEP §62B-33 rules override base-district setback and height for CCCL-seaward parcels. Applies to hotel, condo, and single-family beachfront redevelopment along A1A corridor. LLA height floors on CCCL-seaward parcels are subject to CCCL structural/siting standards. Federal conflict check: NOAA CZMA Florida program intersects.
FL Coastal High Hazard Area — §163.3178applies
Qualifying condition
Hollywood is coastal-exposed with is_coastal_chha_exposed = true. Portions of Hollywood east of the Intracoastal Waterway (Hollywood Beach, North Beach, South Beach barrier island including Hollywood Blvd bridge approaches) fall within the Category 1 SLOSH CHHA polygon per Broward County / FL DEO mapping. Density increases within CHHA via comprehensive plan amendment must demonstrate maintained hurricane evacuation clearance times or provide mitigation per §163.3178(9).
Effect
Comprehensive plan density amendments in CHHA require hurricane evacuation clearance + shelter capacity findings; this constrains (but does not by-right override) base-district density in the CHHA overlay area. LLA and RAC density increases on barrier-island parcels are subject to this comprehensive-plan consistency test.
FL Short-Term Rental Preemption — §509.032(7)applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide preemption of local duration/frequency bans on short-term rentals; pre-June-1-2011 grandfathered ordinances survive. Hollywood has an active STR registration/regulation regime. Hollywood Beach/Broadwalk and barrier-island properties are a top-tier FL vacation-rental market. Hollywood Ordinance O-2016-20 (vacation rental registration) is post-2011 and operates within state preemption constraints — applies general zoning/noise/parking/life-safety rules uniformly and requires DBPR license + local registration, but cannot ban STR by district or impose duration/frequency caps.
Effect
Hollywood cannot prohibit or frequency/duration-cap STRs in residential districts (RS-1..RS-8, RM-9/RM-12/RM-18) absent a pre-2011 grandfathered ordinance. May require registration, inspection, local business tax receipt, and enforce life-safety/noise/parking rules uniformly applicable to all dwellings. State DBPR vacation-rental license is the licensing authority.
FL Comprehensive Plan Consistency — §163.3180 (concurrency)applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide applicability: all Hollywood development orders must be consistent with the locally adopted Comprehensive Plan and meet concurrency requirements (transportation, schools, potable water, sewer, solid waste, drainage, parks). Hollywood's Comprehensive Plan (Coastal Management Element, Future Land Use Element) frames CHHA, RAC-density, and CRA policy.
Effect
All development orders (site plan, rezoning, plat) subject to consistency determination; RAC and Live Local Act projects must demonstrate comp-plan consistency in addition to ZLDR compliance.
FL Bert J. Harris Jr. Private Property Rights Protection Act — §70.001applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide: owners may claim compensation for regulations that 'inordinately burden' existing use or vested rights. Hollywood's older single-family plats (1920s Joseph Young / Hollywood-by-the-Sea founding plats) include many substandard pre-zoning lots. Any downzoning, new CCCL-related restriction, or overlay expansion touching these vested lots is exposed.
Effect
Any new overlay, downzoning, or CCCL/CHHA intensification in Hollywood should undergo Bert Harris inordinate-burden exposure review before adoption.
FL Building Code Preemption — §553.73applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide preemption of local amendments to the Florida Building Code absent specific authorized local technical amendment. Hollywood is in the Florida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) exposure region (Broward and Miami-Dade are the two HVHZ counties); wind-load, impact-glazing, and flood-construction standards are FBC-HVHZ-driven and not locally amendable.
Effect
Hollywood cannot locally amend wind-load, impact-glazing, or flood-construction standards below FBC-HVHZ minimums; height, setback, and use remain zoning-level (not preempted by §553.73).
Federal — FAA Part 77 Airspace Surfaces (FLL Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International)applies
Qualifying condition
FLL (KFLL) is ~3-4 miles north of Hollywood's northern boundary. Its Part 77 imaginary surfaces (horizontal, conical, approach, transition) extend southward over much of north and east Hollywood — specifically north of Hollywood Blvd and east of I-95. A parcel is Part-77-affected when a proposed structure would penetrate the applicable imaginary surface; Form 7460-1 (Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration) is required for any structure >200 ft AGL, or lower within approach-surface sloping areas near the airport.
Effect
Federal-state conflict tempering: Live Local Act height floors on north/east Hollywood parcels are bounded by Part 77 surfaces where applicable. Structures >200 ft AGL anywhere in the city require FAA Form 7460-1; structures lower but within FLL approach/transition surfaces also require review. FLL is a civil (not military) airport — AICUZ does NOT apply; this is Part 77 only, not an AICUZ overlay.

The actual ZLDR district roster is RS-1..RS-8 (§4.1 single-family), RM-9, RM-12, RM-18, RM-WET (§4.2 multifamily), C-1..C-5 (§4.3 commercial), O-1/O-2/O-3 (office), M-1/M-2 (industrial), plus §4.6 RAC sub-districts (RC-2, YC, FH-1, FH-2, Downtown, Beach, etc.) and §4.15 PD. v1 codes do not exist in the ZLDR — these were FM-1 pattern-overreach fabrications. v2 restores canonical codes; v1 dimensional values preserved at partial confidence where they map to a plausible canonical district (RS-1 <- v1 SF-1; RM-9 <- v1 MF-1; etc.). — [§4.1, §4.2, §4.3, §4.6, §4.15 ZLDR per amlegal]
  • RAC Downtown drives jurisdiction-wide density ceiling (Live Local Act reference) — Hollywood's base multifamily ceiling is RM-18 (18 du/ac). The Regional Activity Center Downtown, Young Circle (YC), and Federal Highway (FH-1/FH-2) sub-districts per §4.6 permit substantially higher density. Under Live Local Act, a qualifying affordable project on any C-1..C-5, M-1/M-2, or RAC/BCRA parcel can claim the highest-in-jurisdiction density — which is the RAC Downtown sub-district ceiling (exact value deferred to next pass), far above RM-18. — [§4.6 ZLDR; §166.04151(7) F.S.]
  • FLL Part 77 surfaces cap LLA height floors on north and east Hollywood parcels — Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is ~3-4 miles north of Hollywood's northern boundary. Its Part 77 imaginary surfaces extend southward over north/east Hollywood. Any structure penetrating these surfaces requires FAA Form 7460-1 and DNH determination. Live Local Act height floors must yield to Part 77 — federal preempts state preemption. This is a significant cross-constraint in the most LLA-active corridor (Federal Highway / Dixie Highway). — [14 CFR Part 77; FAA OE/AAA portal]
  • CCCL covers entire ~6.5 mi Atlantic beachfront — FDEP-mapped Coastal Construction Control Line runs the full Hollywood ocean frontage. All beachfront hotels, condos, and single-family redevelopment projects seaward of the CCCL require FDEP §161.053 permit in addition to ZLDR. FDEP Rule 62B-33 structural/siting standards override base-district setback and height on CCCL-seaward parcels. Florida Building Code HVHZ (Broward/Miami-Dade) wind-load + impact-glazing is the construction standard. — [Fla. Stat. §§161.052–161.053; FDEP Rule 62B-33; FBC HVHZ]
  • CHHA covers barrier island and low-elevation mainland pockets — Category 1 SLOSH CHHA polygon covers Hollywood's Atlantic barrier island (Hollywood Beach, North Beach, South Beach) east of the Intracoastal Waterway, plus some low-elevation mainland pockets. Comprehensive plan density amendments in CHHA require hurricane evacuation clearance + shelter capacity findings per §163.3178(9). RAC and LLA density increases on CHHA-covered barrier-island parcels are constrained by this comp-plan consistency test. — [§163.3178(9) F.S.; Broward County CHHA mapping]
  • Downtown Hollywood Historic District de facto caps height via COA review — Downtown Hollywood Historic District (Joseph Young 1920s commercial/civic core along Hollywood Blvd, 19th Ave, and Young Circle area) includes ~40 blocks of historic fabric. While the overlay does not technically reduce density or height entitlement, the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) design-review process often limits new construction to contextual heights (generally ~35 ft) even where the base C-4 district or RAC Downtown sub-district permits taller. Material tension with LLA projects claiming height floor from RAC sub-district ceilings. — [ZLDR Historic Preservation article; Hollywood Historic Preservation Board records]
  • STR preemption applies — Hollywood Broadwalk vacation rental market — Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is a top-tier FL vacation-rental market (along with Miami Beach, Destin, Clearwater Beach). §509.032(7) F.S. preempts local duration/frequency bans; Hollywood's post-2011 STR registration ordinance (O-2016-20) operates within preemption and cannot ban STR by district. DBPR vacation-rental license + local registration + uniformly-applied life-safety/noise/parking rules are the enforceable mechanisms. — [§509.032(7) F.S.; Hollywood Ord. O-2016-20 (post-2011, not grandfathered)]
  • Florida HVHZ wind-load + impact-glazing standards — Hollywood is in the Florida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — Broward and Miami-Dade are the two HVHZ counties. Florida Building Code HVHZ wind-load, impact-glazing, and flood-resistant construction standards are the controlling construction-technical regime; preempted local amendments per §553.73 F.S. Material construction-cost driver for MF/LLA projects. — [§553.73 F.S.; Florida Building Code HVHZ (Broward County)]
  • Bert Harris exposure on Joseph Young 1920s plats — Hollywood's founding plats (Joseph Young, 1920s Hollywood-by-the-Sea) include substandard pre-zoning lots with vested development rights. Any downzoning, CCCL-seaward tightening, or CHHA intensification is exposed to Bert Harris Act inordinate-burden claims. Relevant to any future RS-district downzoning or CHHA overlay expansion. — [§70.001 F.S.]
  • Gridics is city-integrated zoning map/code interface — hollywoodfl.org/1287 directs the public to Gridics (codehub.gridics.com/us/fl/hollywood + map.gridics.com/us/fl/hollywood) for interactive zoning quick-check, parcel-specific code text, and zoning-map layers. Gridics is not a state-mandated code publisher — amlegal remains the code-publisher-of-record (codelibrary.amlegal.com). Gridics is a secondary convenience layer for zoning lookups; amlegal is the citation source. — [hollywoodfl.org/1287; codehub.gridics.com/us/fl/hollywood; codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/hollywood/latest/hollywoodldr_fl]

confidence tags full formpassedEvery district standard carries a confidence tag ('confirmed' with citation, 'partial' with section reference + note, 'inferred' with derivation, or 'not_found' with search_performed). All preemption entries carry status + qualifying_condition_checked + citation_source. All overlays carry status + citation + (where partial) retrieval_failure_reason. No bare 'c' or 'i' tags.
overlays have parameters trigger confidencepassedAll 8 overlays (RAC, CRA, Historic, CCCL, CHHA, FP, FAA-Part77-FLL, PD) carry >=4 parameters entries, geographic_trigger string, status, and citation. CCCL and FP are 'confirmed' status; RAC/CRA/Historic/CHHA/PD are 'partial' with retrieval_failure_reason populated; FAA-Part77-FLL is 'federal_state_conflict' with federal_overlay_refs populated per INVARIANTS paired-field rule.
preempt section city specificpassedstate_preemptions_applicable[] contains 9 per-law FL + 1 federal entries with Hollywood-specific qualifying_condition_checked narratives referencing: Hollywood's jurisdictional RAC density ceiling as LLA density floor; Broward County HVHZ; ~6.5 mi Atlantic CCCL exposure; Hollywood Beach Broadwalk STR economy; Joseph Young 1920s plat Bert Harris exposure; FLL Part 77 cross-constraint treated as federal_state_conflict (not preempted_by_state) per INVARIANTS FM-P. Section length well above 3000 chars. No link-stub to florida.md alone.
