In exchange for this flexibility, developments within a PD must adhere to high architectural and urban design standards ensuring cohesive and aesthetically enhanced environments. Planned Developments shall be designed as mixed-use developments, encouraging compact built form, minimal surface parking, and shall include the use of alternative modes of transportation and programable public open spaces. A Planned Developments are site specific zoning districts and may include varying residential typologies, vertical or horizontal mixed uses, and prohibited uses. Planned Developments are recognized as serving the public interest and are to:

  1. Allow diversification of uses, structures and open spaces when not in conflict with existing and permitted land uses on abutting properties;
  2. Include mixed uses with non-residential uses encouraged at-grade oriented to prioritize pedestrian access from streets, plazas, or parks;
  3. Where appropriate, promote resort qualities of the City by encouraging planned resort communities;
  4. Reduce improvement costs through a more efficient use of land and a smaller network of utilities and streets than is possible through application of standards contained in conventional land development regulations;
  5. Conserve the natural amenities of the land by encouraging the preservation and improvement of scenic and functional open space;
  6. Provide maximum opportunity for application of innovative site planning concepts to the creation of aesthetically pleasing environments for living on properties of adequate size, shape and location;
  7. Ensure that development will occur according to limitations of land use, site design, population density, building coverage, improvement standards and construction phasing authorized through the approval of a master development plan; and
  8. Ensure that development will occur within the guidelines and intent of the Hollywood Comprehensive Plan. Planned Developments are equally adaptable to new development, redevelopment and conservation of land, water, and other City resources
  9. Where variances or modifications are requested from the standards of this section, new developments are to prioritize compact and pedestrian oriented built form over traditional auto-oriented configurations. Main entrances should face public right of ways, internal streets, or active public open spaces open to the general public.
  10. Ensure gateway treatments and enhanced public realm elements for facades, corners, and prominent entrances along public rights-of-way.
  11. All new and reconstructed streets in PDs will include pedestrian and cycling facilities appropriate for their context and may include grade separated bicycle lanes.
  12. Ensure the use of high-quality and signature design elements, to be detailed in a Master Development Plan Guidelines document. Applicable to building facades, all parking areas, and the public realm to enable a unique and distinguished appearance for land within the Planned Development District.

B. Definition.

A Planned Development is land under unified control, planned and developed as a whole in a single development operation or an approved, programmed series of development operations. It may include principal and accessory uses and structures substantially related to the character of the development itself and the surrounding area of which it is a part. Planned Development Districts are not permitted in the Beach District of the Community Redevelopment Agency. Planned Development Districts may be permitted adjacent to Federal Highway, and Hollywood Boulevard, within the Downtown District of the Community Redevelopment Agency. In the event that a Planned Development within the Beach District or Downtown Districts was approved prior to 2012, such originally approved Planned Development may be expanded, subject to the following conditions:

  1. An expansion of an approved Planned Development shall only be permitted if the proposed expansion is for property that abuts the existing Planned Development, which may include crossover rights-of-way;
  2. The area of the expansion shall not exceed the area of the originally approved Planned Development; and
  3. The maximum height (in feet) within the expanded Planned Development shall not exceed the maximum height of the originally approved Planned Development.

C. Unified control.

All land included for the purpose of development within a Planned Development District shall be under the control of the applicant (an individual, partnership or corporation, or group of individuals, partnerships or corporations). The applicant shall present satisfactory legal documents to constitute evidence of the unified control of the entire area within the proposed Planned Development which shall be certified by the Department. The applicant shall agree in the application for rezoning to the following:

  1. To proceed with the proposed development according to the provisions of these regulations, conditions attached to the rezoning of the land to Planned Development, and the approved master development plan;
  2. To provide, subsequent to rezoning and prior to the issuance of a building permit, any agreements, contracts, covenants, deed restrictions or sureties as reasonably deemed necessary by the City, and in a form acceptable to the City, to assure that the development proceeds in accordance with prior approvals and to further provide for continuing operation and maintenance of such areas, functions and facilities which are not proposed to be provided, operated, or maintained at public expense;
  3. To bind their successors in title to any commitments made as set forth above; and
  4. If the developer elects to administer common open space through an association or nonprofit corporation, said organization shall conform to the applicable laws of the State of Florida.

A. Purpose.

  1. In the past decade, the city has experienced a phenomenal growth rate in population, housing needs, use of beaches and other natural resource systems, land development, and the need for public and private facilities of high quality. Although public facilities such as water, sewerage, drainage, schools, parks recreational facilities and roads have been and are being constructed in an attempt to meet the needs of the city's growing population, the city has been unable to provide these services and facilities at a pace which will keep abreast of the ever growing public need, and is now faced with the real possibility of a rapid dwindling in the quality of available municipal services and facilities.
  2. Because of the physical, social and fiscal problems caused by this rapid growth, the city has adopted a comprehensive plan to guide its future development so as to provide for the maximum orderly, adequate and economical development of its future residential, commercial, industrial and public land uses and community facilities, including transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and recreation, drainage and other public facilities.
  3. In order to insure that the comprehensive plan is not frustrated by disorganized, unplanned and uncoordinated development, which would create an undue burden and hardship on the ability of the community to translate this plan into reality, the following objectives are established as the purpose for creating a Planned Unit Development District:
    1. To utilize land more efficiently in new developments by employing smaller networks of utilities and streets, thereby reducing costs;
    2. To permit the phasing of residential development in concert with the efficient provision of public improvements and services;
    3. To establish and maintain municipal control over the eventual character of development;
    4. To encourage and maintain a desirable degree of balance among the various uses of the land;
    5. To preserve pervious land area in order to protect the city's water supply;
    6. To prevent increases in, and to reduce existing levels of, air, water and noise pollution;
    7. To encourage a diversification in the range of types of environment and living units available to the public;
    8. To preserve to the greatest extent possible existing landscape and amenities, such as trees, natural terrain, agricultural areas, marshes, mangrove areas, water and beach areas, and other outstanding topographical and geological features;
    9. To preserve and enhance the aesthetic qualities of the city;
    10. To harmonize large scale development with adjacent uses and surrounding use districts in order to insure that such development will be in accord with the city's Comprehensive Plan, not only for the immediate areas, but for the entire city;
    11. To enable a more creative, imaginative and innovative design approach through utilization of the most advanced technological and land use planning methods available and permitting planned diversification in location and types of structures, as well as combining and coordinating architectural styles, building forms and building relationships within the PUD;
    12. To provide for adequate and suitable located open space and recreation areas of a size and type commensurate with the projected population density and nature of the development;
    13. To provide adequate transportation circulation patterns and prevent the over burdening of existing streets;
    14. To aid in the renewal of older areas in the city where new development and restoration are needed to revitalize such areas;
    15. To facilitate the administrative process relating to development proposals by providing for concurrent review of land use, subdivision, public improvement and siting considerations;
    16. To establish areas in which diverse uses may be brought together in a compatible and unified plan of development which shall be in the interest of the general welfare of the city;
    17. To promote the public health, safety and general welfare.

    3. In determining the type, nature and dimensions of trafficways to serve the PUD, careful consideration shall be given to existing traffic patterns and resources; the likelihood of improvements, such as street widening, in the near future; the probable effect of the PUD on existing traffic patterns and resources; and the effect of adjacent or surrounding uses.
  10. Open space.
    1. Open space shall comprise at least 20% of the PUD. The minimum acreage in open space shall be determined by multiplying the gross area of the proposed PUD by 20%.
    2. Areas considered to be of, or have a significant natural character or quality, such as mangroves, beaches and wooded areas, shall be specifically identified and included in required open space areas, to the fullest extent possible.
    3. Open space shall be distributed as proportionately as possible throughout the PUD, except those previously-identified natural areas, giving consideration to the relation of the open space to the dwelling units of the residents the open space is intended to serve. Open space may not be isolated in one corner of the development, but should be highly accessible to all residents; large open spaces should be enhanced or linked by walkways or greenway systems wherever possible.
    4. Preservation.
      1. The integrity of all open space shall be further guaranteed by restrictive covenants running with the land, describing such space, its maintenance and improvements. These restrictive covenants shall run to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the original or succeeding owners of property within the PUD; residents of the PUD whether as owners in fee simple, or joint owners as in a cooperative or condominium; or the city. The covenants shall also be recorded.
      2. The applicant shall file, at the time of approval of the final site plan, legal documents which will assure the above guarantees, and in particular provide for restricting the use of open space to the designated purposes. Such documents shall include, but not be limited to, the following provisions:
        1. A homeowner's association with a declaration of the covenants and restrictions which will govern it;

        3. The association must be established before any dwelling unit is sold;
        4. Membership in the association must be mandatory for each purchaser of a parcel of property subject to individual ownership and any successor in interest;
        5. The open space restriction must be permanent, and not for a period of years;
        6. The association must be responsible for liability insurance, local taxes, and the maintenance of recreational and other facilities, as well as the maintenance of the open space itself;
        7. Each owner must pay his pro-rata share of the cost of such maintenance and other activities of the association which are an integral part of its operation, and the assessment levied against the owner by the association can become a lien on the property;
        8. The association must be able to adjust the assessment to meet changed needs.

E. Enforcement.

  1. In the event the homeowner's association or any successor organization, shall at any time after establishment of the PUD fail to maintain the open space in reasonable order and condition in accordance with the final site plan, the city, or any appropriate official, agency, department or commission thereof, may serve written notice upon the association or the residents of the PUD setting forth the manner in which the association has failed to maintain the open space in a reasonable condition. The notice shall include a demand that the maintenance deficiencies be remedied within 30 days, and shall state the date and time and place of a public hearing, which shall be held within 14 days of the notice.
  2. At the hearing provided for above, the city may modify the terms of the original notice as to the deficiencies and may give an extension of the time within which they shall be remedied, but in no event shall such extension exceed 60 days.
  3. If the deficiencies set forth in the original notice, or in any modification thereof following the public hearing, are not remedied within the time given, the city may, in order to preserve the taxable values of the properties with the PUD and to prevent the open space from becoming a public nuisance, enter upon the open space and maintain it. Such maintenance shall not vest in the public any rights to use the open space, except where such rights are voluntarily dedicated to the public by the owners.
  4. If at the end of one year of maintenance of the open space, the city shall determine following a public hearing within 14 days notice to the association or the residents of the PUD, that the Association is not ready or willing or able to maintain the open space in a good, clean and safe condition, the city may, in its discretion, continue to maintain the open space, subject to a similar hearing and determination at the end of the second year and in each year thereafter.
  5. The cost to the city for such maintenance shall be assessed ratably against the properties within the PUD that have a right of enjoyment of the open space and shall become a tax lien on those properties. At the time of entering upon the open space for the purpose of such maintenance, the city shall record the existence of such liens for each property.
  6. Perimeter requirements.
    1. The perimeter of the PUD shall combine uses and buffer techniques to create a transitional separation between surrounding existing uses and the proposed development.
    2. All structures in the PUD should be set back at least 30 feet from the boundary of the PUD district.
    3. Whenever a PUD adjoins an existing single-family use or district, the buffer should include an open space sector or strip section of single-family uses in the section of the PUD perimeter which adjoins the single-family district, in addition to the setback requirements above.
    4. Whenever a PUD adjoins an existing residential use or district, and the perimeter uses of the PUD are other than single-family dwelling units, the PUD perimeter should include appropriate buffer or screening where it adjoins the off-site residential use or district.
    5. Whenever a PUD adjoins an existing nonresidential use or district, the perimeter should be designed in such a manner as to shield adjacent residential sections of the PUD from such uses through appropriate screening.
    6. Within a PUD, compatibly designed buffer and screening methods should be used, wherever appropriate.
    7. Whenever a PUD adjoins an existing single-family use or district, the maximum height of any perimeter structures shall not exceed 0.8 times the distance from the structure to the nearest perimeter property line.

F. Parcel ownership.

An application for approval of a PUD may be filed by a person having an interest in the property to be included in the PUD. The application must, however, contain the written approvals or consents of all of the recorded owners of property included in the proposed development, and all holders of equitable interest, including purchasers. The application may be filed by holder(s) of an equitable interest in such property. The applicant(s) shall evidence a full ownership interest in the land — legal title or the execution of a binding contract of sale — before approval of the final site plan may be granted by the Board or the Commission, provided however, that proposed developments which are partially completed and sold shall only be required to meet the application requirement of change of zoning district as set forth in Article 5 of these Zoning and Land Development Regulations.

5. Recording. Upon Commission approval of the final site plan, the plan, together with the final subdivision plats, if required, or sections thereof, if the Commission has approved phasing of the plan, shall be recorded in the manner prescribed in the city subdivision regulations. The provisions thereof as to land use shall bind the property covered thereby, as provided in this section, with the full force and effect of specific zoning regulations. In addition to the final site plan, the subdivision regulations, specific notations for lot width, areas, side yards, rear yards, setback, coverage, grouping of buildings, placement of standards for street lighting, all street, sanitary and public improvements, all publicly dedicated areas, if any, and improvements to be dedicated to the homeowners association.

6. Building permits. No building permits shall be issued prior to the recording of the final site plan, the final subdivision plat, if required, and the amendment to the zoning map changing the underlying zoning district(s) to a PUD district.

H. Modifications. To permit greater flexibility in the use and design of structures and land in situations where modification of specific provisions for this section will not be contrary to the intent and purpose nor significantly inconsistent with the planning on which it is based and will not be harmful to the adjacent properties, the Commission is authorized to allow modifications of the specific terms of this section, provided the following procedure is utilized:

1. All requests for modifications shall be specifically enumerated in the application; if the need for modification occurs at a later stage the application shall be so amended.

2. All such requests must be specifically evaluated by the Department and Board, and a specific recommendation on each modification request shall be made by both the Department and Board.

3. The Commission shall consider such requests for modification simultaneously with the entire application and may approve such modifications provided the intent and purpose of this section is not violated and further provided that such modifications shall not adversely affect the existing character of adjacent properties nor shall they be inconsistent with the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the neighborhood. The approval of the Commission of such modifications shall recite in writing the reasons and findings of fact and recommendations upon which such approval is based.

I. Changes in the Approved Final Site Plan. No changes may be made in the approved final site plan during construction except upon application under the procedures below:

1. Minor changes in the location and height of buildings and structures may be authorized by Commission action, if required by other circumstances not foreseen at the time of approval of the final site plan.

2. No changes in the approved final site plan, however, may cause:

a. A change in the use or character of the PUD;

b. An increase in overall coverage of structures;

g. A reduction in required pavement widths.

3. All other changes in use, any rearrangement of lots, blocks, and building tracts, any changes in the location of open space, and all other changes in the approved final plan must be made by the commission under the procedures authorized by the city regulations for amendment of the zoning map. No amendments may be made in the approved final plan unless they are shown to be required by substantial changes in conditions in the surrounding areas that have occurred since the final plan was approved.

J. Phasing of Construction.

1. Residential construction. The provision of all of required open space and public improvements which are shown on the final site plan must proceed at the same rate as the construction of dwelling units. The building official shall not issue building permits for dwelling units if the department shall find that the rate of construction of dwelling units is greater than the rate at which open space and public improvements have been constructed and provided.

2. Nonresidential construction. Nonresidential uses may be constructed prior to residential uses only if the Commission finds — and records its finding on the final site plan — that the nonresidential uses are consistent with the comprehensive plan, even though the residential areas of the PUD are not built or completed. Absent such finding, nonresidential construction shall proceed proportionately to the construction of residential uses and the provision of open space and public improvements.

K. Performance Bonds and Other Guarantees.

1. Performance bond. The applicant shall post a performance bond sufficient to secure to the city the satisfactory construction, installation and dedication of all uncompleted required improvements. Such bonds shall conform to the requirements of the subdivision regulations, if applicable, and, where the applicant wishes to develop and record the final subdivision plat in sections, the procedures for phasing the subdivision regulation, including posting of performance bonds for such sections shall be applicable.

2. Building permits and certificate of occupancy. The Building Official shall issue building permits for buildings and structures in the PUD only if they are in conformance with the approved final site plan, the final subdivision plat, if applicable, and with all other applicable orders, ordinances and regulations.

1. District purpose:

To provide for and encourage appropriate residential, resort, hotel, motel, tourist uses (including ecotourism), and accessory uses within a coastal environment with unique natural, physical and man made features.


2. District objectives:
  1. To provide for a development pattern and intensity that allows reasonable use of land considering the environmental resources and limitations that constrain development of the district;
  2. To ensure that public access, both physical and visual, to the beach and associated natural resources, is maintained or enhanced;
  3. To ensure that the environmental quality of the area is maintained and is not degraded by potential development;
  4. To maintain or enhance the ocean, beach, dune and natural vegetation systems and to minimize any detrimental or adverse effects to these systems that might be occasioned by potential development;
  5. To encourage a desirable mix of development uses, types and intensities that are harmonious with each other and with the natural characteristics of the area;
  6. To utilize land efficiently and to promote high quality design and development;
  7. To provide for adequate open space areas; and
  8. To provide adequate transportation and circulation systems to meet the needs of the area, while preventing the overburdening of internal and through streets, including Highway A1A.


3. Establishment of zones:

In order to achieve the above objectives and intent of the district, the NBDD is divided into two zones:

a. The North Beach Development District Development Zone (NBDD-DZ); and

b. The North Beach Development District Control Zone (NBDD-CZ).


4. Transferable development rights.

Any owner of property in the North Beach Development District Control Zone may, in lieu of developing their property, dedicate it to the city for maintenance as public open space in exchange for which the owner may sell or transfer their unused development rights to property in the North Beach Development District Development Zone; however, the minimum parcel size to be dedicated and for which development rights may be transferred shall be one lot. Unused development rights for purposes of transfer or sale will be computed according to the following:

  1. Property dedicated to the city for maintenance as public open space: 32.5 dwelling units per acre. In order to make use of this provision, the owner of property in the Control Zone must dedicate the property to the city in accordance with procedures and legal requirements designated by the City Attorney and on forms prescribed by the Attorney. All documents must be recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Courts of Broward County, Florida;
  2. Development rights pursuant to this section shall be deemed to “run with the land”; shall survive condemnation by the city; and shall be transferable by the city or by private property owners. The City Commission shall formulate and adopt appropriate regulations to guide the implementation of this provision consistent with the language herein and the intent of this article; and
  3. Any owner of property in the Development Zone who is the recipient of transferred development rights, may thereafter develop his/her property at the maximum density permitted including the amount of acquired dwelling units. In all cases, however, the property owner in the Development Zone must conform with the development standards in this section.


5. Planned unit development.

Any owner of property in excess of two acres, in the Development Zone only, may develop pursuant to the Planned Unit Development District (See § 4.16). Where any provision of these regulations imposes restrictions different from those imposed by the Planned Unit Development ordinance, whichever provisions are more restrictive or impose higher standards shall control. An application for Planned Unit Development in the development zone shall include all contiguous holdings of the applicant under the same ownership with an indication of the portion proposed to be subdivided, re-subdivided or developed immediately and that proposed for later phases of development. A general plan shall be submitted for all such contiguous land at the time of initial application. For the purpose of this section, land separated only by public right-of-way shall be deemed to be contiguous.
