🚨 URGENT HOLLYWOOD BEACH & DEVELOPMENT ALERT—PLEASE READ AND SHARE 🚨

No matter where you live in Hollywood, our beach and our public spaces belong to all of us.

The Planning & Development Board will meet Tuesday, September 8 at 5:00 PM, and several major proposals affecting Hollywood’s beach, development rights, and public land are on the agenda.

PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ATTEND AND SPEAK.

The beach/1301-related matters are scheduled later in the agenda, after other major items. That makes it especially important that residents show up and remain engaged until these items are heard.

🔴 KEY AGENDA ITEMS

Item 3 — Beach Overlay Program

File No. 26-TZ-18

Proposal affecting building heights along A1A, reportedly allowing heights of up to 200 feet, with provisions reaching as high as 490 feet at the Hollywood Beach Hotel.

Item 4 — Tourism Entitlement for Hotels

File No. 26-F-70c

Proposal involving approximately 2,300 additional hotel rooms.

Item 6 — 1301 S Ocean Drive

⚠️ WHY THIS MEETING MATTERS

These proposals could have significant long-term consequences for Hollywood’s beach, development patterns, public land, parks, playgrounds, and community facilities.

Residents need to understand what is being proposed, ask questions, and make their voices heard on the public record.

🗣️ WANT TO SPEAK?

You must register separately for EACH agenda item you wish to address.

Public comments are limited to 3 minutes per speaker.

Speaker registration deadline: 6:00 PM on Monday, September 7.

The City states that, because these matters are quasi-judicial, emails and written comments cannot be forwarded to Board members or read into the record. If you want your position heard directly by the Board, register to speak and attend the meeting—in person or via WebEx.
