> January 2008 # Acknowledgements The specific authority and requirement for municipalities to do comprehensive planning in Florida derives from Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. In 1985, the State Legislature amended Chapter 163 through the adoption of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act. This Act substantially increases the requirements for local land use plans, associated infrastructure and other plan elements as well as mandates that local governments adopt land development regulations (or code) to implement the policies of the local comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act is implemented primarily via Rules 9J-5 and 9J-11 of the Florida Administrative Code, as amended. This Comprehensive Plan has been prepared to be fully consistent with Chapter 163, F.S., and Rule 9J-5, as required by State law The City of Hollywood Comprehensive Plan was first adopted in 1989. All local governments are required to undertake an Evaluation and Appraisal Report of their Comprehensive Plan every seven years which assesses the Plan's need for revisions based upon changes in regulations regarding Comprehensive Plans and the City's current goals and objectives. This package of amendments is based upon the City's 2005 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The 2007/8 EAR-Based Amendment process took place under the direction of: **City Commission** Peter Bober, Mayor Patti Assef, District 1 Beam Furr, District 2 Heidi O;SheehanDistrict 3 Richard S.

INTRODUCTION As the traditional keystone of the Comprehensive Plan, the Land Use Element sets forth the physical plan for the future development of the City. The Land Use Element describes the appropriate location for future land uses and promulgates the policies regulating the location and development of all land uses. The Land Use Element sets forth not only the density and intensity of land uses appropriate for all locations, but also considers other factors affecting land use development, such as timing, cost, and current development trends. The overriding goal of the Land Use Element is to provide a framework for rational decision-making regarding the uses and re-use of land in a mature community characterized by infill on previously passed over parcels and by intensification of use of land through redevelopment and rehabilitation. Objectives for land use planning are often so broad as to be meaningless; for example, "To provide a beneficial physical environment for human activities." However, some statements should be made which clarify broadly how the plan is to be used as a decision-guide in Hollywood. The land use plan should 1) provide framework for programming capital improvements which affect or are affected by land use decisions and activities, 2) provide a useable development guide for land use activities of all parties, public and private, 3) provide a continuity and rationalization for land use decisions and actions, 4) show how to maximize existing public investment, 5) show maximum consideration of natural constraints and existing character and identity of established, viable residential neighborhoods. The Existing Land Use Map included as part of this Element describes the location and distribution of land uses in Hollywood in 2007. The Future Land Use Map (also included in this Element) is the focus of the Comprehensive Plan. It indicates the proposed location and distribution of land uses for the next five to ten years. All policies contained within this plan must be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Apparent inconsistencies among policies are resolved by the Future Land Use Map itself or at the more detailed scale of project planning and in specific development proposals. All land development regulations in effect subsequent to the adoption of this plan must be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. This Land Use Element is prepared pursuant to the Broward County Charter for submittal to the Broward County Planning Council for certification of conformity with the county-wide Land Use Plan. It is also prepared for submittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs in accordance with the State Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act (LGCPA). This is the primary element of the comprehensive plan as the policies emanating from decisions on the long range future land use pattern will significantly influence all other aspects of planning. Conversely, preparation of other elements may reveal service level problems that create constraints on future land use, necessitating later adjustments in the land use plan. Planning Timeframes The City of Hollywood Comprehensive Plan provides guidance on development and redevelopment over two planning periods: a 5-Year period ending FY2012 (short term) and a 10-Year period ending FY2017 (long term). City-Wide Master Plan The City-Wide Master Plan (CWMP) is a compilation of policy priorities and recommendations designed to improve the appearance, appeal and economic tax base of the City. The Master Plan establishes a format for future direction and vision for the City of Hollywood. In 2001, the City adopted the CWMP and asserts the need for the public sector’s intervention to generate, control and guide private energies in the process of City building. A number of general principles were utilized in the development of the CWMP. These are: * Emphasizing the qualities of the City of Hollywood’s historic urban plan and built environment. * Maintaining and improving the natural environment. * Preserving and enhancing single-family residential areas. * Improving and promoting mobility, both within the City of Hollywood and the surrounding region. * Providing for continued growth potential directed to specific and adequate areas. * Identifying areas where to channel public investments and actions to accomplish the City’s sustainability and development goals. Master Plan Guiding Principles were also developed to be utilized in assessing the goals and objectives of the plan. The Master Plan Guiding Principles are: * Create and maintain a safe environment and eliminate the perception of crime. * Attract and retain businesses that will increase economic opportunities for the City while enhancing the quality of life for residents. * Promote development that will preserve and enhance natural resources. * Promote the highest and best use of land in each sector of the City without compromising the goals of the surrounding community. * Preserve stable single-family neighborhoods while providing alternative housing options that will meet the needs of all residents in the City of Hollywood. * Provide pedestrian, vehicular and public transportation linkages locally and regionally. * Preserve and emphasize historic resources and Joseph Young’s original vision for the City of Hollywood. * Preserve, protect and enhance existing open space and recreation facilities both public and private. City of Hollywood Comprehensive Plan [Diamond Icon] Land Use Element Page LU-2 January 2008 * Increase participation and promote the expansion of cultural and educational programs. * Promote the equitable distribution of public improvements that will eliminate disparities between neighborhoods and guarantee the health, safety and welfare of all residents of the City. The Plan includes individual plans for 8 Sub-Areas of the City as show on Map LU-1. Each individual sub-area plan includes the following: 1. *A sectional Geographic, Zoning and Land Uses Plan* - Revision of zoning and land use patterns within the City by redefining neighborhoods and development areas into larger "Planning Zones" intended to provide a clear direction for future zoning and land uses decisions 2. *An Economic Development and Redevelopment Plan* - Establish economic development priorities, and identify specific locations to attract and maintain, expanding commercial and industrial businesses to the City 3. *A Transportation Plan* - Identification of changes and improvements to the current transportation system within the City to meet the future transportation needs of residents and visitors 4. *An Environmental Conservation Plan* - Address the factors of natural resource protection, as related to the City's air, land, sea and local waterways, with recommendations for improved resource protection efforts and clear identification of environmentally sensitive areas to be protected 5. *A Public Facility and Infrastructure Improvements Plan* - Evaluate City facilities and infrastructure for condition and location, with determinations of deficiencies and viable recommendations for future improvement 6. *A Parks and Recreation Facilities and Open Spaces Plan* - Evaluate the existing distribution of parks and recreation facilities, and identify areas to be maintained as future open spaces 7. *A Housing Plan* - Develop an inventory of the current housing stock of the City and identify geographic locations where different levels of quality and affordable housing can be located in the future 8. *A Capital Improvement and Budget Plan* - Identification of facility and infrastructure improvements incorporated within each Individual Plan, including identification of funding sources for projects The Goals, Objectives, and Policies that reflect the City-wide Master Plan are noted throughout the Comprehensive Plan.

Parks and Open Spaces make up 12% and Conservation areas make of nearly 10% of the total land area. General Business and Office uses are just under 5% of the total land area. The most significant vacant areas are on SR7/441- two areas near Griffin and Sterling Road near the Seminole Tribe/Hard Rock casino area. Land Adjacent to City Boundaries Hollywood is surrounded on three sides by seven cities and some unincorporated area. Fort Lauderdale abuts Hollywood's northern boundary in Port Everglades (see Map LU-3: *Hollywood Existing Land Uses with Adjacent Land Uses*). The adjacent land use is industrial, with a large vacant parcel slated for a convention center development. Dania Beach adjoins Port Everglades on the west side and also extends down along Federal Highway to Sheridan Street in Hollywood. Dania Beach’s abutting land uses are mixed business and residential with most of the business lining major streets. Dania also extends west along Stirling Road. The land near the railroad tracks along Stirling Road is industrial. The uses in the area on the north side of Stirling Road are mixed residential office and commercial while most of the uses on the south side in Hollywood are single family residential. Adjacent land uses are shown in Map LU-3. The Town of Davie abuts Hollywood's northwestern corner. The uses are mixed multiple family and commercial with some vacant land and a little farm land. Also along the western boundary of the City, lies land owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, including the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The City of Pembroke Pines is south of Davie and Cooper City along Hollywood's western border. Most of the uses in Pembroke Pines next to Hollywood's border are residential and almost solely single family. However, North Perry Airport and Broward Community College are also in Pembroke Pines on the south side of Hollywood Boulevard. The City of Miramar lies at the southwestern end of the City. Most of the adjacent uses in Miramar are commercial. Along the southern border from 441 east to I-95 is the City of West Park and a section of Pembroke Park. The uses alternate between small commercial establishments and low-density residential. Hallandale Beach is located along the rest of Hollywood's southern boundary from I-95 east to the ocean. From I-95 to U.S. 1, the uses are mixed residential commercial and light industrial. The Gulfstream Race Track is located at the southwestern corner of U.S. 1 and Pembroke Road. U.S. 1 east to the ocean is residential except for the shopping center at Hallandale Beach Boulevard and AIA. Near the Intracoastal and the ocean, the residential becomes very high density multiple family. ### Historic Resources Hollywood-by-the-Sea was founded by Joseph W. Young, an innovative developer whose vision of a planned new town was greatly influenced by the “City Beautiful Movement.” Unlike many South Florida cities, Hollywood is fortunate to have a concentration of historic, well-maintained structures, many of which date back to the 1920s when much of the land within the original 18 square mile city limits was platted. Several historic architectural styles are represented in Hollywood, including Mission, Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, Moorish, and Art Deco. Recognizing the importance of preserving links to its historic heritage for future generations, Hollywood has designated four historic districts: * Historic Hollywood Business District * Harrison / Tyler Historic District * Hollywood Lakes Historic Multiple Property Resource Listing * Hollywood Beach Historic District These historic areas are shown on Map LU-4: *Historic Sites* and Map LU-5: *Historic Districts and Sites*. It should be noted that most historic buildings in Hollywood continue to have viable use. Historic designation ensures that the present use of a building is not detrimental to its original form. It results in the sensitive renovation and rehabilitation of older structures to maintain their historic architecture. The City has adopted the national registry guidelines for building, additions, and safety (Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines of Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, U.S. Department of Interior National Parks Service, 1983). The City's Historic Preservation Board has the responsibility for reviewing requests for demolition, new construction, and building rehabilitation. Following is a chronology of the major milestones with regard to historic preservation in Hollywood: 1980 Comprehensive Historic Site Survey by Marlyn Kemper, Director, Historic Broward County Preservation Board. 1991 Completion of the Historic Preservation Plan. 1994 Establishment of an Historic Preservation Board to review requests for demolition, new construction and building rehabilitation. 1995 City obtained “Certified Local Government” status from Florida Department of State Bureau of Historic Preservation. 1996 Designation of the first historic districts in the City of Hollywood. 2007 Designation of the Hollywood Beach Historic District.

> # Facilities ## Transportation The existing transportation system consists of an existing roadway system grid, the port, airport, rail lines, and transit. Broward County manages the Concurrency Management System (CMS) for transportation in the County and for the City of Hollywood. The CMS is the procedures and processes employed by Broward County to assure that development orders and permits are not issued unless the necessary facilities and services are available concurrent with the impacts of development. According to the Broward County Comprehensive Plan’s Transportation Element, the City of Hollywood is comprised of three concurrency Districts. The majority of the City is located within the Southeast Concurrency District. A small portion to the west is located within South Central District, and the Airport has its own District. The South East, South Central and Airport are Transit Oriented Concurrency Districts. According to Broward County, a Transit Oriented Concurrency District shall be a compact geographic area with an existing network of roads where multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes are available for common trips. An area-wide level of service standard shall be established for each such District, for the purpose of issuing development orders and permits, based on the quality of transit services within the District. Interstate 95 and Florida’s Turnpike are two significant corridors recognized in the Strategic Intermodal System. I-95, a north-south facility, provides access to the east coast of Florida and the United States; Florida’s Turnpike, a north-south toll facility, provides statewide access and is an alternate to I-95. The SIS also consists of existing or planned intermodal connectors that connect hubs and corridors. The Hollywood Amtrak/Tri-Rail station is the only SIS connector located within the City of Hollywood. The Level of Service (LOS) standard adopted by the City for most roadways is D. The LOS standard for the SIS/FIHS and TRIP funded facilities are established per the Florida Administrative Code. Appendix A of the Transportation Element shows the Level of Service for all State and County roadways. The existing transit system in the City of Hollywood consists of fixed route buses and demand response service provided by Broward County Transit. Special needs of the transportation disadvantaged are documented in a Plan for Complementary Paratransit Mass Transit Service for Persons with Disabilities for Broward County, Florida and in Broward County Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan, 1996. Tri-Rail, a premium transit corridor, provides rail transit from Palm Beach County to Miami-Dade County. The Hollywood Boulevard Tri-Rail station was included in Segment 5 of the Double Track Corridor Improvement Project System, and the Sheridan Street Station was included in Phase VII. The City of Hollywood coordinated with Tri-Rail and FDOT’s South Florida Rail Office to coordinate the timing of the double tracking project in conjunction with proposed improvements to the Hollywood Boulevard Tri-Rail passenger facility (Hollywood Boulevard Intermodal Station). Future premium transit corridors include bus rapid transit on SR 7/441, a rapid bus on Hollywood Boulevard, and the addition of passenger service on the FEC corridor. Port Everglades and the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport are managed by Broward County. Part of Port Everglades falls within the boundary of the City of Hollywood. The airport lies adjacent to some properties within the City of Hollywood boundary. ### Utilities/Infrastructure *Sanitary Sewer* Sanitary Sewer services are provided by the City of Hollywood regional facility. The regional service boundary for the City of Hollywood treatment facility includes the South Broward Drainage Districts 3A and 3BC, which comprises Dania Beach, portions of Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, West Park, and portions of unincorporated Broward County. The wastewater treatment facility also treats the effluent from the Town of Davie, City of Cooper City, and City of Hallandale Beach. The City of Hollywood currently maintains a Level of Service of 315 gallons per day per Equivalent Residential Unit for sewer customers. The Average Daily Flow (ADF) is approximately 42.0 MGD. The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has a rated capacity of 48.75 MGD flow, with a projected build-out capacity of 60 MGD for 2025 to meet the projected 2025 demand of 59.3 MGD. The City of Hollywood is planning improvements and expansions to the Wastewater Treatment Plant for the next 20 years to accommodate the growing demand and population serviced. There will be sufficient capacity to maintain the Levels of Service standards until the year 2025. *Potable Water* The capacity of the City of Hollywood potable water treatment plant is 35.7 MGD, with 11 million gallons of on-site storage and two 1 million gallon storage tanks located in the city. The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) collects its raw water in three ways. They have a Consumptive Use Permit for 20.67 MGD to draw water from the Biscayne Aquifer. The Floridan Aquifer wells producing 0.58 MGD, and currently 5.23 MGD is purchased from other sources. The raw water is treated by either the lime softening or membrane softening process, and the water from the Floridan is treated using reverse osmosis. The current LOS provides Hollywood’s customers with 350 gallons per day per Residential Unit. The LOS standard is that of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permitted capacity for the facility and is measured by the maximum daily flow. The city uses the flow information contained FDEP permit application to access adequacy of service and concurrency. The current production ability of the water treatment plant is capable of meeting current but not future demands. Upgrades and expansions to a capacity of 55.3 MGD is planned for the design year of 2025. Current plans involve the relocating of some wells to the Chaminade High School well field, expanding the reverse osmosis treatment system, and some expansion to the membrane and lime softening processes. These improvements will accommodate the 2025 demand of the City of Hollywood and its service area, which includes portions of unincorporated Broward County, Dania Beach, Pembroke Park, West Park, and the Seminole Hollywood Reservation. *Solid Waste* The City’s Department of Environmental Services is responsible for all solid waste disposal. Garbage generated by the City is currently transported and landfilled at the Broward County Interim/Contingency Sanitary Landfill. The City currently has a LOS per Residential unit of 8.9 lbs. per unit per day. The BCICS landfill has an available capacity to meet future demand. Recycling is also strongly suggested and practiced in the City of Hollywood. *Drainage* The City maintains its own drainage lines and swales within its municipal boundaries, and also services the South Broward Drainage District. The current conditions of the drainage system require periodical maintenance and replacement with a 20 to 25 year life span on the system. The drainage system has a two-fold purpose: 1) to protect persons, property from flood damage by draining excess waters into the Atlantic Ocean, and 2) recharge the aquifer with Stormwater of good quality. Current Level of Service standards include: 1) Private Property: retain property and dispose of ½ inch of storm runoff during any five minute period. 2) Single Family: maintain minimum of 30% pervious area on site 3) Buildings: To have the lowest floor elevation no lower than the elevation for the respective area depicted on the National Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for flood hazard areas based on 100 year flood elevation The current LOS standards adopted by Broward County is also used by the City of Hollywood. The existing surface water management system design is adequate to meet the current demand generated by the ongoing development within the City. In order to meet drainage requirements generated by future development within the City, a series of improvements are planned. These improvements will meet or exceed required storage and runoff criteria. Land use regulation, development practices, strong support for vegetation, mitigation, and landscaping all provide for a high degree of valuable and effective Stormwater infiltration and provide groundwater recharge. Parks and Recreation Recreation and open space lands located within the City of Hollywood are diverse and support a wide range of facilities and amenities. The City maintains approximately 785 acres of park and open space comprised of fifty-six (56) parks, including thirteen (13) community centers, five (5) sports complexes, three (3) golf courses, one (1) tennis center, one (1) community pool, and three (3) outdoor amphitheaters. Additionally, there are approximately 2,039 acres of County and State-owned and operated recreational facilities available to the public as well as four (4) privately-owned golf courses open to the public totaling 393 acres. In addition, the City has immediate access to countless acres of natural water features such as West Lake, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. Using the criteria set forth in the Broward County Land Use Plan, Hollywood has approximately 633 acres of park space that may be used to meet the Level of Service requirement of 3 acres of park space per 1,000 population. With a 2006 population of 144,431 residents, Hollywood currently has approximately 4.4 acres for every 1,000 residents. A total of 433 acres of park lands are needed to maintain the 3 acres per 1,000 population LOS. This analysis indicates the City will be able to uphold its LOS standard through this Comprehensive Plan’s short term (5 year) and long term (10 year) planning periods. Regional Facilities Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FLL) FLL is a regional facility that serves international and domestic air carriers, and attracts passengers from Broward, north Miami-Dade and south/central Palm Beach counties. Broward County owns and operates the airport. It occupies a site of 1,718 acres in the southeastern part of the county, located south of I-595, some two miles west of the coastline. The airport’s land is primarily in unincorporated Broward County. The airport is accessible by roadway (from I-95 and I-595, Griffin Road and US Route 1), by Tri-Rail and by a Broward County BCT bus route. The Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport is not within the jurisdiction of the City of Hollywood. However, the airport is within close proximity of the city and airport activities do create a significant impact on the City of Hollywood’s economy and development. The city has no real authority on the distribution of land uses within the airport. The City of Hollywood reviews the airport master plan for issues and any concerns which may have an impact on the city. Part of this review involves the distribution and location of land uses which are compatible within close proximity to the airport. Due to the high level of noise generated by airport activities the City of Hollywood reviews and recommends changes to the land use map to ensure compatibility with airport activities. The Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) prepares annual noise contours to monitor the extent of noise exposure on a continuing basis. The Airport Noise Abatement Committee (ANAC) reviews and interprets the contours. The contours are prepared in a manner consistent with Part 150 Noise Exposure Map requirements. The FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study includes the development of a Noise Exposure Map and a Noise Compatibility Program. It involves analyzing existing and future noise exposure, identifying appropriate uses for land surrounding the Airport, and recommending noise mitigation programs to benefit surrounding communities. Upon review of the 2005 and 2012 Noise Exposure Map and the City of Hollywood Land Use Map it was determined that west of I-95 only a portion of the city, north of Griffin Road, was within the noise contour lines. The land uses in this area are predominantly industrial and commercial with some open space/recreation land uses. No residential land uses fall within the existing noise contour lines. However, the City has concerns with the proposed expansion and potential negative impact on adjacent residential and park property. East of US 1 the noise contour lines fall within Port Everglades which has a future land use of Transportation and John U. Lloyd State Park which has a land use designation of Open Space / Recreation. There are no conflicting land uses that could be identified and that would require a change in land use to the City’s Future Land Use Map. *Port Everglades* The port’s jurisdiction encompasses a total of 2,190 acres (887 hectares) which includes 1,742 acres of upland and 448 acres of submerged land. Upland acreage falls within the following municipalities: * 1,242 acres or 71.3% of Port Everglades is located within the City of Hollywood. * 232 acres or 13.3% is located within the City of Fort Lauderdale. * 234 acres or 13.4% is located within the City of Dania Beach. * 34 acres or 2% is located within unincorporated Broward County. Port Everglades is divided into three (3) areas: Northport, Midport, and Southport. The City of Hollywood’s jurisdiction primarily covers Midport and Southport. Water related transportation services are provided by private businesses operating through Port Everglades, including containerized cargo, petroleum, bulk cargo (cement, gypsum, and scrap metal), neobulk cargo (lumber, steel, and secondary fiber), and passenger cruises. Port Everglades' containerized cargo tonnage has increased 25.7 percent over the past 10 years. With 5 million tons of containerized cargo in Fiscal Year 2005, Port Everglades is the 12th busiest container port in the nation, according to the Port Import Export Reporting Service (PIERS) published by Commonwealth Business Media Inc. Port Everglades is the port of choice for more than 30 shipping lines thanks to its commitment to convenient, cost-effective transport and safe storage of containerized cargo. Port Everglades is ideal for moving products such as fruit, vegetables, automobiles and apparel to and from Central America, the Caribbean, South America and even the Far East. The Port is rapidly expanding to meet the changing needs of its clients. For example, Port Everglades has nearly completed a multi-million dollar capital improvement program, adding a permanent container X-ray screening area and expanding container yards in Southport. In addition, the Port has slated 97 acres for future development of containers/trailers, warehousing and an Intermodal Container Transfer Facility. The Port's current facilities and planned expansions focus on transferring and storing all that waterborne commerce as smoothly and efficiently as possible. ### Natural Resources #### Land Cover Map LU-6 identifies the habitat coverage within the City as mapped by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWC).

Other significant water features include West Lake Park, South Lake, North Lake and Port Everglades. Map LU-7: Waterbodies, identifies the water features in the City. Living marine resources are oceanic or estuarine plants and animals, such as mangroves, seagrasses, algae, coral reefs, fish, shellfish, crustacean, fisheries, sea turtles, and marine mammals. Living marine resources adjacent to the Broward County coast include at least fifteen families of cartilaginous fishes such as sharks and rays and 55 families of bony fishes such as tarpon, herring, snook, snapper and species typically inhabiting the coral reefs of southeast Florida. Since 1967, Broward County has conducted an artificial reef program to provide habitat for marine species and expand recreational diving and fishing opportunities. Very little commercial fishing takes place in Broward County waters. Netting, fish traps and bottom longlines are prohibited by the State. However, recreational fishing is one of the most important activities off the Broward County coast. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) regulates fresh and saltwater fishing in the City of Hollywood. The Intracoastal Waterway runs through the City of Hollywood between the barrier island and the mainland. It is a small portion of the 3,000 mile recreational and commercial waterway along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the U.S. The Intracoastal is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Florida Inland Navigation District is a special state taxing district for the continued management and maintenance of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. West Lake Park is a coastal mangrove wetland located in the City of Hollywood between the barrier island and the mainland. From 1924 to 1926, the original freshwater ecosystem of this area was dredged, filled and divided for development. As part of a wetlands mitigation program, the land was purchased, and between 1985 and 1993, a multi-agency effort re-created 203 acres of mangroves, mudflats and tidal pools. Today, West Lake Park is a 1,500-acre restored mangrove preserve that is about 1 mile in width. North Lake and South Lake were first envisioned by Joseph Young in the 1920s. His initial vision included a wide boulevard extending from the ocean westward to the edge of the Everglades with these man-made lakes paralleling each side of the roadway. One end of each lake empties into the Intracoastal Waterway and the other serves as a turning basin for private yachts. Joseph Young also envisioned a seaport at what was once a shallow lake. Port Everglades, through its entrance channel, serves as the primary access to the Atlantic Ocean for marine interests in Broward County, including commercial carriers. and recreational boaters. The Port was established in 1928 when a permanent inlet was created between Lake Mabel and the ocean. Prior to the opening of the channel, Lake Mabel was a freshwater lake system. The creation of Port Everglades’ ocean inlet, together with the completion of the Intracoastal Waterway, completely transformed this freshwater habitat to its current brackish/marine wetland environment.

GIS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services Ground Water / Wellfield Protection Areas The principal ground water resources for the Lower East Coast (LEC) Planning Area are the Surficial Aquifer System, including the Biscayne aquifer, and the Floridan Aquifer System. The Surficial and Biscayne aquifers provide most of the fresh water for public water supply and agriculture within the LEC Planning Area. Due to the regional importance of the Biscayne aquifer, it has been designated as a sole source aquifer by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act and is, therefore, afforded stringent protection. This designation was made because it is a principal source of drinking water and is highly susceptible to contamination due to its high permeability and close proximity to land surface in many locations. Major sources of contamination are saltwater intrusion and infiltration of contaminants from canal water. Water resource protection tools under the Florida Statutes are used to protect water supplies for natural systems and human needs. In addition to minimum flows and levels, other resource protection tools include consumptive use permitting, water shortage declarations and the reservation of water. The water supply is vulnerable to the introduction of chemicals from business and residential uses. In order to provide protection to the water supply, Broward County established zones of influence around each wellfield. The Broward County Environmental Protection Department began the Wellfield Protection Program in 1990. This program regulates activities in Wellfield protection areas including the storage, handling, use, and production of regulated substances at hazardous material facilities. Zones are delineated by the theoretical time it takes for contaminants to travel from the point they enter the ground water to the wellfield. Broward County has three delineated protective zones; Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3. Restrictions are highest in Zone 1. These protected areas act as safety buffers against accidental contaminant releases wherein known contaminants can be reduced before they reach the public supply well. Zone 1 provides a ten day buffer around the wellfield; Zone 2 provides a thirty day buffer and Zone 3 provides a 210 day buffer. Map LU-8 identifies the wellfield protection zones in the City of Hollywood. The Biscayne Aquifer, the Surficial Aquifer System and surface water are dependent upon rainfall for recharge. The average annual rainfall in the LEC Planning Area is about 53 inches. Annually, 75 percent of this occurs during the wet season months. In addition to seasonal variation, rainfall varies significantly from year to year with historic annual amounts ranging from 37 inches to 106 inches in the planning area. The amount of rainfall also varies regionally within the LEC Planning Area. Rainfall also varies greatly, with rainfall amounts generally decreasing from east to west.

The natural elevations within the City of Hollywood ranges from sea level to 15 feet. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) recognizes the City as a part of the Lower East Coast sub-region, which extends approximately 160 km (99 mi) north to south through large coastal portions of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. The major topographic feature of this Lower East Coast sub-region is the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. This limestone ridge, consisting of relic dune ridges formed by wind and wave action, parallels and extends the length of the Atlantic Coast. Three major estuaries and marine systems occur in this sub region: Lake Worth Lagoon in Palm Beach County, Biscayne Bay in Miami-Dade County, and West Lake in the City of Hollywood. The part of the City from approximately Federal Highway west to Hollywood Hills is a part of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. Prior to the 1900, most of Broward County west of the Atlantic ridge was previously part of the Everglades. The Barrier Island is historically coastal beach strand with dune systems and maritime hammock communities. The Lower East Coast sub-region is the most highly urbanized area in Florida, containing 30 percent of the State’s residents. Most urbanization occurs along the coastal portion of the sub-region with substantial agriculture present south and west of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. **Hazard Mitigation** With each new hurricane season, the South Florida region remains vulnerable to the threat of a hurricane strike. The region must be prepared to evacuate highly vulnerable populations on critical routes. There is local public shelter capacity and inland hotel/motels are also available. There are limited route choices to leave the region. Map CM-20 in the Coastal Element identifies the locations of the hurricane shelters nearest to the City of Hollywood. The Broward County Human Services Department provides the special needs community with registration assistance for special needs shelters and transportation services. Because hurricanes impact large areas, the evacuation data presented in the Coastal Element is the data specific to Broward County from the 2006 South Florida Regional Hurricane Evacuation Traffic Study. This study was prepared by the South Florida Regional Planning Council. The South Florida Region includes Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. During a hurricane evacuation, a significant number of vehicles will have to be moved across the local and regional road network. The quantity of evacuating vehicles will vary depending upon the magnitude of the hurricane, publicity and warnings provided about the storm and particular behavioral response characteristics of the vulnerable population. **Floodplains** The National Flood Insurance Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has identified the following flood zones within the City of Hollywood: TABLE V FEMA FLOOD ZONES | Zone | Description | | :--- | :--- | | AE | An area inundated by 100-year flooding. | | AH | An area inundated by 100-year flooding (usually an area of ponding) flood depths range from 1 – 3 feet. | | AO | An area inundated by 100-year flooding (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain); flood depths range from 1 to 3 feet. | | VE | An area inundated by 100-year flooding with velocity hazard (wave action). | | X | An area that is determined to be outside the 100- and 500 year flooding. | | X500 | An area inundated by 500 year flooding; an area inundated by 100-year flooding with averaged depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas less than one square mile; or an area protected by levees from the 100-year flooding. | Map LU-10 identifies the flood zones within the City. Land use, as it relates to the discharge of stormwaters and the use of natural drainage, is regulated through the South Florida Water Management District. The Florida Building Code regulates construction as it relates to flood zones. Coastal High Hazard Area The “Coastal High Hazard Areas” (also referred to as the high-hazard coastal areas) means the area below the elevation of the category 1 storm surge line as established by a Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model. Map CM-14 in the Coastal Element identifies the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) within the City. Map CM-15 identifies the hurricane surge zones and evacuation routes.

E X C E P T I O N A L S O L U T I O N S GIS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services # Population and Housing With an estimated 2006 population of 144,431, the City of Hollywood has achieved build-out. The City is undergoing redevelopment throughout its neighborhoods and around its major roadway corridors. This consists of both small, infill development and large, mixed-use projects to provide spaces for people to live, work and play. Hollywood has responded to its Housing Element by meeting its fair share of affordable housing and providing strategies for investing in public improvements and programs that have acted as a catalyst for private investment and redevelopment in the City. With an expected population increase between now and 2025, demand for affordable housing will grow proportionally. The County's unmet demand may rise to over 300,000 households by 2025. The City will rely on public and/or private partnerships to continue to meet future affordable housing needs. Also, with an aging housing stock and infrastructure system, the City will face the challenge of protecting existing neighborhoods and preserving the housing stock. Additionally, the expansion of mixed-use areas such as the Regional Activity Center (RAC) will help to alleviate these demands. Based on data compiled by the City, as part of the expansion of the RAC designation, it is anticipated there will be construction of 12,100 additional residential units by 2020 within this area (1,486 acres) of the City alone. A review of recent housing developments within the City suggests the construction of 3,867 affordable housing units over the next 10 years is viable to accommodate the current and future demand of affordable housing. The City of Hollywood's population and housing projections are based on the projections provided by the Planning Services Division of the Broward County Urban Planning and Redevelopment Department. An analysis of these projections indicates that the number of persons per household (PPH) in 2006, is approximately 2.35. This figure is slightly lower than Broward County's figure of 2.53. Table VI provides projections of housing need from 2006 through 2030.

The CRA Board consists of seven (7) members who also serve as the Mayor and City Commission. The Downtown District CRA area is bounded by Johnson Street to the north, N. 14th Avenue to the east, Washington Street to the south, and the properties west and adjacent to Dixie Highway. This area offers many highlights including the newly renovated Arts Park at Young Circle, new and modern mixed use developments currently under construction and Hollywood's signature downtown district which includes a diverse mix of boutiques, shops, restaurants, and commercial establishments. The Hollywood Downtown is also in the National Register of Historic Places which adds to its uniqueness and prestige. The Downtown District CRA has been actively involved with the public in the creation of the downtown master plan and overall redevelopment of the area. The Downtown District CRA Plan was adopted in 1981 and has since then been amended and has evolved to encompass additional sections of downtown and the changing conditions and economies of the area. The guiding principles behind the CRA plan include the creation of a unique sense of place, increase tax based revenues, and the creation of a quality image described as “exciting, fun, progressive, and successful”. The plan also defines urban design principles for the downtown area which center around formal axial geometries reinforced by landscaping, low rise building frames, orientation towards young circle, compatible land uses, pedestrian and traffic circulation and parking, and reduced setbacks. The CRA program aims at creating strategies to assist developers in bridging project financial gaps and making public participation a part of the private redevelopment process. The CRA’s continuous effort to revitalize downtown has lead to numerous programs and initiatives including the Storefront Improvement Grants (grants property owners up to $25,000 to freshen up their commercial facades), the Property Improvement Program (provides funds for on-site improvements to structures and to eliminate slum and blighting influences within the Hollywood Beach and Downtown Districts), and continued redevelopment of major commercial corridors which include Hollywood Blvd., U.S. Highway 1 and Dixie Highway. ## Beach District of Hollywood's Community Redevelopment Agency The Beach District of Hollywood's Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) was created in 1997 in order to redevelop Hollywood Beach as a dynamic place to invest, work, live and play. The Hollywood Beach Community Redevelopment consists of 293 acres from Sherman Street south to the south property line of the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa, and from the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean. The Hollywood Beach CRA has ambitious goals and clear objectives which are focused on beautifying and restoring Hollywood Beach to its pedestrian-friendly, 1920s stylized neighborhood roots. Amongst these are: * Promote redevelopment and eliminate the causes of physical and economic blight; * Ensure sanitary and safe conditions through infrastructure improvements; * Improve circulation for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists; * Encourage and provide alternate modes of transportation; to increase public parking; * Enrich the visual and functional quality of the streetscape for all user groups; * Enhance Hollywood Beach as a tropical destination; * Preserve and maintain natural resources; * Upgrade existing public recreation facilities and expand recreation opportunities; * Re-establish tourism as a vital industry; * Develop the Johnson Street beach property as the village center of Hollywood Beach; * Create opportunities and incentives that facilitate redevelopment of private properties. With these objectives as guiding principle the Beach District CRA has been involved in the creation and implementation of many public projects and programs including Hollywood Beach CRA Master Plan (includes zoning recommendations and District design standards to supplement the City of Hollywood code), the Hollywood Broadwalk (over two-miles long, featuring a thirty-foot wide landmark pedestrian promenade that combines dramatic coastal views of Hollywood Beach with the nostalgic feel of a Main Street thoroughfare), the Hotel Improvement program (use of tax increment funds to induce private investment that results in quality improvements and enhancements to small lodging business), Property Improvement Program (provides funds for on-site improvements to structures and to eliminate slum and blighting influences within the Hollywood Beach and Downtown Districts). The Hollywood Beach CRA is investing millions in public and aesthetic improvements to the beach, Broadwalk, street ends, and Hollywood Boulevard bridge. New water and sewer lines are being installed throughout the beach and Broadwalk area and trenching is currently underway to move the utility lines underground. Broadwalk improvements, scheduled to be complete in April 2007, include a complete makeover of the 2.5 mile Broadwalk. The existing concrete is being replaced with colorful pavers and a low decorative wall is being added to separate the Broadwalk from the sand. Finishing touches will include old fashioned- style lighting, benches and pocket parks with public art and water features. MAP LU- 11 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREAS <

Transit supportive land use and urban design policies have been put in to place to encourage transit–oriented development and redevelopment along the corridor. The SR 7 corridor has also been identified as a transportation corridor of regional significance. III. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCEDURES The procedure for comprehensive plan amendments is specified by Chapter 163, s. 163.3184 of the Florida Statutes and Rule 9J-11 of the Florida Administrative Code. These amendments may be either text changes or map changes and may involve changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan, the County's Comprehensive Plan, or both. A summarized step-by-step process is as follows: City Change City Land Use Application Approx. 1 Month Planning & Zoning Advisory Board Local Planning Agency Hearing Varies City Commission (First Reading) Local Governing Agency Hearing Transmittal to Florida Dept. of Community Affairs and to Broward County (if a County change is required) Approx. 6 months City Commission (Second Reading) Local Governing Agency Hearing Adoption Approx. 1.5 months Recertification of Land Use Element by the Broward County Planning Council Approximate City time: 9 months County Change Broward County Planning Council (Local Planning Agency) First Hearing *Time varies Approx. 1 Month Broward County Commission (Local Governing Agency) Transmittal Hearing (to DCA) Approx. 4 months Broward County Planning Council (Local Planning Agency) Second Hearing Approx. 1 month Broward County Commission (Local Governing Agency) Adoption Hearing Approximate County time: 9 months Local Governing Agencies (LGA) can adopt comprehensive plan amendments only twice each year, usually in the Spring and Fall. The City of Hollywood coincides its adoption and DCA submittal dates with Broward County in order to minimize the review time at the State and County level. # IV. IMPLEMENTATION REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES The City must include, in its Land Use Element, Implementation Regulations and Procedures consistent with Section IV.D of the Broward County Land Use Plan (BCLUP). The Implementation Regulations and Procedures have been provided as follows: ## Development Review Requirements The City of Hollywood's Land Use Element is prepared pursuant to the Broward County Charter for submittal to the Broward County Planning Council. The City of Hollywood will implement the Broward County Land Use Plan by incorporating and enforcing the appropriate local regulations regarding the development of lands and waters within the jurisdiction of the City of Hollywood. Therefore, no public or private development will be permitted by the City unless it is in compliance with the certified City Land Use Plan and the Broward County Land Use Plan. The City of Hollywood may grant an application for a development permit consistent with the Broward County Land Use Plan or certified City Land Use Plan when the City has determined that the following requirements are fulfilled via the City's Concurrency Management System: Transportation, recreational, drainage and flood protection, potable water, solid waste, and sanitary sewer public facilities and services will be available to meet established level of service standards consistent with Chapter 163.3202(g) Florida Statutes and the concurrency management policies included with Goal 8.00.00 of the Broward County Land Use Plan. In addition to the concurrency management requirements, the City's land development regulations require the following: A. Local streets and roads will provide safe, adequate access between buildings within the proposed development and the trafficways identified on the Broward County Trafficways Plan prior to occupancy. B. Fire protection service will be adequate to protect people and property in the proposed development. C. Police protection service will be adequate to protect people and property in the proposed development. D. School site and school buildings will be adequate to serve the proposed development. E. Development does not include a structure, or an alteration thereof, that is subject to the notice requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, Subpart B, unless the Federal Aviation Administration issues, or has issued within the previous ninety days, a written acknowledgement that said structure or alteration would not constitute a hazard to air navigation and does not require increases to minimum obstruction clearance altitudes, or any other operational modifications at any existing airport or heliport or any planned or proposed airport as described in FAR Part 77.21(c)(2). ### Platting Requirements The City of Hollywood will not grant an application for a building permit for the construction of a principal building on a parcel of land unless a plat including the parcel or parcels of land has been approved by the Broward County Commission and recorded in the official records of Broward County subsequent to June 4, 1953. However, this will not apply to an application for a building permit which meets any of the following criteria: A. Construction of one single family dwelling unit or duplex unit on a lot or parcel which was of record as such in the official records of Broward County as of March 1, 1989; or B. Construction on any multi-family or non-residential lot or parcel which is less than five acres in size and specifically delineated on a plat recorded on or before June 4, 1953. If the parcel or parcels meet the above criteria, the issuance of a building permit shall also meet all of the following criteria: A. Compliance with the applicable land development regulations; B. Any land within the lot or parcel which is necessary to comply with the Broward County Trafficways Plan has been conveyed to the public by deed or grant of easement. All parcels proposed for platting must be in compliance with the City of Hollywood's Land Use Plan and the Broward County Land Use Plan in order to be approved by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners and recorded in the Official Records. No public or private development may be permitted except in compliance with the certified City Land Use Plan. V. ANALYSIS AND ISSUES Vacant Land and Land Needed for the Projected Population The city currently has a total of 160.31 acres of land which are identified as vacant by Broward County Property Appraiser. Table VII shows the total vacant land by land use category. Of the total number, 33.19 acres are classified for residential use. TABLE VII VACANT ACREAGE BY LAND USE | Land Use | Acreage | % of total vacant area | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | LOW RESIDENTIAL (5) | 1.10 | 0.68% | | LOW MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL (5 – 10) | 6.83 | 4.26% | | MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL ( 10 – 16) | 0.56 | 0.35% | | MEDIUM HIGH RESIDENTIAL (16 – 25) | 0.45 | 0.28% | | HIGH RESIDENTIAL (25 – 50) | 1.14 | 0.71% | | REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTER | 23.11 | 14.42% | | GENERAL BUSINESS | 79.36 | 49.51% | | INDUSTRIAL | 34.14 | 21.30% | | PARKS AND OPEN SPACE | 0.21 | 0.13% | | COMMUNITY FACILITY | 2.29 | 1.43% | | TRANSPORTATION | 11.12 | 6.94% | | TOTAL | 160.31 | 100.00% | The amount of land needed for the projected population is a function of Person Per Household and the density of vacant and re-developable pieces of land. Per the 2006 County produced demographic data, the average household size in the City of Hollywood is 2.35. Table VIII shows the potential population to be housed in Hollywood based on the land use designation and vacant acreage. The analysis includes the expectation that allowable remaining residential units in the RAC will be built by 2020. The RAC designation allows 16,100 dwelling units of which approximately 4,000 units have already been built as of 2007 per the City of Hollywood Office of Planning. A careful study of existing zoning and plans for vacant properties, combined with current and projected infill and redevelopment activity indicates that there will be enough land to accommodate the currently projected population through the year 2020. TABLE VIII POTENTIAL POPULATION TO BE HOUSED IN FUTURE | Land Use Classification | Acres | Potential # of Dwelling Units | Population to be Accommodated | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | LOW RESIDENTIAL (5) | 1.10 | 5.5 | 12.9 | | LOW MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL (5 – 10) | 6.83 | 68.3 | 160.5 | | MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL ( 10 – 16) | 0.56 | 8.96 | 21 | | MEDIUM HIGH RESIDENTIAL (16 – 25) | 0.45 | 11.25 | 26.4 | | HIGH RESIDENTIAL (25 – 50) | 1.14 | 57 | 133.9 | | REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTER | | 12,100 | 28,435 | | TOTAL | | 12,151 | 28,790 | Population projections for 2006 puts the City of Hollywood population at 144,431. The addition of 12,151 units would accommodate a population of approximately 28,790. This would meet the housing demand for the city of Hollywood to the year 2020. The current land use scenario indicates that most of this housing demand will be met through the Regional Activity Center (RAC). *Methodology* Vacant lands were determined using base data on existing uses from the Broward County Property Appraiser. The data was compared with aerial photography to ensure accuracy. City planning staff compared vacant parcels with committed developments. Parcels with committed developments were not marked as vacant. MAP LU-11.A VACANT LAND WITH FUTURE LAND USE <

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services Future Land Use Categories The Future Land Use Map (Map LU-13) is a generalization of the desired future development pattern for the City of Hollywood. As most areas of the City are already completely developed, the existing land use and zoning provide much of the basic structure for the future land use plan. The Future Land Use Map use categories only provide general guidelines and limits. The boundaries of use categories on the Land Use Map are also general and should not be considered to be zoning boundaries. In all cases, the applicable zoning ordinances and zoning map must be consulted in order to determine specific use and development regulations for any parcel. Zoning will, however, conform to the plan. The following table shows total acreage for each Future Land Use designation.

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems ESRI Permitted Uses in Areas Designated Residential The following uses are allowed within residential areas to the degree and extent permitted by the applicable zoning regulations. 1. Dwelling units and accessory uses and structures subject to density limitations as expressed by the Future Land Use Map, applicable ordinances, and the following sub-section, "Density." 2. Hotels, motels, and lodgings for transients including recreational vehicle parks subject to density limitations as expressed by the Future Land Use Map, applicable ordinances and the following subsection, "Density." (R.V. parks limited to areas shown at Low-Medium (10) density or higher). 3. Parking lots as specifically limited by Zoning and Land Development Regulations. 4. Parks, golf courses, and other outdoor recreational facilities, and recreational, civic, or cultural buildings ancillary to the primary outdoor recreational use of the site. 5.

Streets and other transportation corridors. 8. Telecommunication facilities such as broadcasting towers, relay stations and cables. 9. Agriculture. 10. Offices, including banks and savings and loan institutions, medical offices and clinics, services and retail sales of merchandise, subject to the following limitations and provisions: a) No contiguous area used for retail sales, services, offices, banks, clinics or mix of these uses may exceed ten acres. For the purpose of this provision, contiguous is defined as: attached; located within 500 ft.; or separated only by streets and highways, canals and rivers, or easements. b) No more than a total of 5% of the area designated for residential use within a flexibility zone on the City's Land Use Map may be used for office and/or retail sales of merchandise or services. c) Regardless of constraints in (a) and (b) above, space within residential buildings in areas designated for medium-high or high residential density may be used for service, retail, and office uses as long as no more than 50% of the floor area is used for such uses. d) Regardless of constraints in (a) and (b) above, space within residential buildings in areas designated medium residential density may be used for offices, as long as no more than 50% of the floor area is used for offices. 11. Special Residential Facilities in the low-medium to high ranges and subject to density requirements. A maximum of 100 "Bonus" sleeping rooms may be allocated that are permanently dedicated to the Special Residential Facility use without allocating density. Special Residential Facilities should be defined as follows: SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, CATEGORY (1) - means a housing facility which is licensed by the State of Florida for no more than eight (8) individuals who require treatment, care, rehabilitation, or education. This facility is usually referred to as a group home. This includes individuals who are elderly, dependent children, physically disabled, developmentally disabled, or individuals not overtly of harm to themselves or others. The facility provides a family living environment including supervision and care necessary to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of the individuals. It may or may not provide education or training. There may be more than one kitchen within the housing facility. There may be more than one Special Residential Facility Category (1) development on a parcel. A Special Residential Facility Category (1) development shall count as one (1) dwelling unit each. SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, CATEGORY (2) - means a housing facility which is licensed by the State of Florida for nine (9) to sixteen (16) non-elderly individuals who require treatment, care, rehabilitation, or education. This includes individuals who are dependent children, physically disabled, developmentally disabled, or individuals not overtly of harm to themselves or to others. The facility provides a family living environment including supervision and care necessary to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of the individuals. It may or may not provide education or training. There may be more than one kitchen within the housing facility. There may be more than one Special Residential Facility Category (2) development on a parcel. A Special Residential Facility Category (2) development shall count as two (2) dwelling units each. SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL FACILITY, CATEGORY (3) - means a) Any housing facility licensed by the State of Florida for more than sixteen (16) non-elderly individuals who require treatment, care, rehabilitation, or education. This includes individuals who are dependent children, physically disabled, developmentally disabled, or individuals not overtly of harm to themselves or to others; or b) Any housing facility licensed by the State of Florida for more than eight (8) unrelated elderly individuals; or c) Governmentally subsidized housing facilities entirely devoted to care of the elderly, dependent children, physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, or individuals not overtly of harm to themselves or to others; or d) Any not-for-profit housing facility for unrelated elderly individuals; or e) Any housing facility which provides a life-care environment. A life-care environment shall include, but is not limited to, creation of a life estate in the facility itself and provision of off-site or on-site medical care; or f) Special Residential Facility Category (3) development shall count as one (1) dwelling unit per every two (2) sleeping rooms regardless of the number of kitchens or baths. *Residential Density* Maximum limits on the density of residential development are set by the Future Land Use Map according to the following schedule: | Range Title | Dwelling Units | | :--- | :--- | | | Per Gross Acre | | Low | 5 or fewer | | | | | Low-medium | 5 to 10 | | | | | Medium | 10 to 16 | | | | | Medium-high | 16 to 25 | | | | | High | 25 to 50 | There are a few areas of the City which have been given an "irregular" designation as they don't fall clearly into one of the above categories. For each of these areas the maximum dwelling units per acre allowable is indicated by the number in a circle inside the dashed line. The color used on these areas is only an approximation and is not controlling. All references to density in the plan refer to gross density allowable. The gross acreage of any area means the total number of acres in the area, including acreage used or proposed for streets, lakes, waterways, and property to the centerline of any abutting street or road right-of-way. Credit towards density is not given for North and South Lakes nor any canals of the primary drainage system. Any arrangement of dwelling units on a parcel of land designated for residential use is compatible with the Land Use Plan as long as the maximum number of dwelling units permitted within the parcel is not exceeded. For example, the Land Use Plan does not regulate whether a developer uses 10 acres of land designated for Low (5) Residential density to build 50 single family homes or whether the same 10 acres are used to build a 50 unit high-rise structure, with the balance of the land maintained as permanent open space. The distribution of units will be determined by zoning and land development regulations. Hotels, motels, and similar lodgings for transients are not subject to the same density limits as dwelling units designed for year-round occupancy. The number of tourist units permitted in any parcel indicated for residential land use is double the maximum number of dwelling units designated for that parcel. In all other cases, the maximum number of units allowed on a parcel refers to actual dwelling units, regardless of number of bedrooms or bathrooms in any one unit. Specific provisions of zoning ordinances and the City's density ordinance will further limit the amount and type of dwelling units which can actually be constructed on a parcel. *Flexibility and Reserve Units* "Flexibility units" means the difference between the number of dwelling units permitted within a flexibility zone in Broward County's Land Use Plan and the number of units permitted within a flexibility zone in Hollywood's Land Use Plan. Since the certified Hollywood Plan may be more restrictive than the Broward County Land Use Plan, extra dwelling units may be available for rearranging within flexibility zones by amending the City's Land Use Plan Element. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted in the Hollywood Land Use Plan may not (except for "reserve units") exceed the number of dwelling units permitted in the Broward County Land Use Plan. "Reserve units" mean additional permitted dwelling units equal up to 2% of the total number of units permitted within a flexibility zone by the Broward County Land Use Plan. Allocation of reserve units will not require amendment of the City's land use plan. The number of reserve units assigned to a residential parcel on the City's land use plan may not exceed 100% of the maximum number of dwelling units indicated for the parcel by the City's land use plan map. The local land use plan, the zoning, and the applicable land development regulations shall not permit any density higher than 50 dwelling units per gross acre. *Permitted Uses in Areas Designated Office* The following uses are allowed within Office areas to the degree and extent permitted by the applicable zoning regulations. 1. Administrative, professional, research, and financial offices. 2. Laboratories. 3. Funeral homes. 4. Public and semi-public facilities, institutions, private clubs. 5. Limited retail (including restaurant), service uses, and parking lots which are accessory to the primary office uses. 6. Residential uses are permitted in the same structure as an office use, provided that the residential floor area does not exceed 50% of the total floor area of the building and provided any residential use comes from reserve or flexibility units available in that flexibility zone. No more than 20% of the office in any one flexibility zone may be converted to residential use. Areas designated for office and general business on the Future Land Use Plan may be decreased by up to 20% within a flexibility zone. 7. Special residential facilities categories 2 and 3, as described and defined in permitted use #11 in the Residential land use category, subject to Zoning and Development regulations. **Permitted Uses in Areas Designated General Business** The following uses are allowed within General Business areas to the degree and extent permitted by the applicable zoning regulations. 1. Neighborhood, community, regional and highway retail uses, including shopping centers. 2. Office and business uses. 3. Commercial uses, including wholesale, light fabricating, storage and warehouse uses, parking lots. 4. Hotels, motels and other tourist accommodations subject to the following: a) In that portion of the CHHA east of the Intracoastal Waterway and north of Sheridan Street (North Beach Barrier Island), hotels and motels shall not exceed 50 hotel rooms per acre. b) In that portion of the CHHA west of the Intracoastal Waterway, hotels and motels shall not exceed 50 hotel rooms per acre. c) In that portion of the CHHA east of the Intracoastal Waterway between Sheridan Street and Hollywood Boulevard (Central Beach Barrier Island), hotels and motels shall not exceed 50 hotel rooms per acre. Provided however, the City Commission may approve up to an additional 50 rooms per acre (for a maximum of 100 rooms per acre) from the “Hollywood Beach Hotel Room Pool” containing no more than 1000 rooms. d) In that portion of the CHHA east of the Intracoastal Waterway and south of Hollywood Boulevard (South Beach Barrier Island) hotels and motels shall not exceed 150 hotel rooms per acre). Provided however, the City Commission may approve up to an additional 150 rooms per acre (for a maximum of 300 rooms per acre) from the “Hollywood Beach Hotel Room Pool: containing no more than 1000 rooms. 5. Parks, recreation, open space, cemeteries, and commercial recreation uses. 6. Public and semi-public facilities, institutional uses, private clubs. 7. Utilities, transportation, communication facilities, and easements. 8. Non-residential Agricultural uses (permitted until the area is converted to an urban use). 9. Residential uses are permitted in areas designated for general business in the following specific instances: a) Only in the same structure as a commercial use provided that the residential floor area does not exceed 50% of the total floor area of the building, and the flexibility and reserve units are available. Otherwise, amendment of the City's *Land Use Element* is required. b) In the Central City Business (CCB) zoning district in the downtown Hollywood Regional Activity Center Area as permitted by Broward County Plan Amendment PCT 90-2. c) In the C-1 zoning district in the Hollywood Beach area as permitted by County Plan Amendment. d) For mixed commercial/residential developments greater than 20 acres in size, mixed commercial/residential structures where the first floor of such structure is totally confined to commercial uses and free standing multi-family residential uses are permitted, provided that residential density does not exceed 40 units per gross acre and the area of the site upon which the free standing residential development and mixed commercial/residential structures are constructed do not exceed 40% of the total gross acreage of the commercially designated parcel, and the flexibility and reserve units are available. 10. Special Residential Facilities categories 2 and 3, as described and defined in permitted use #11 in the Residential land use category, subject to the Zoning and Development regulations. No more than 20% of the General Business area in any one flexibility zone may be converted to residential use. Areas designated for General Business on the Future Land Use Plan Map may be decreased by 20% within a flexibility zone. On any of these, conversion requires an amendment of the City Land Use Plan. ### Permitted Uses in the Area Designated Regional Activity Center The Regional Activity Center land use designation encourages redevelopment or development of areas that are regionally significant. The major purposes of this designation are to facilitate multi-use and mixed-use development, encourage mass transit, reduce the need for automobile travel, provide incentives for quality development, and give definition to the urban form. Hollywood's Downtown Regional Activity Center will: 1. Focus on the best mix of office, service, retail, entertainment, residential, community facilities, open space and transportation uses that will promote a lively, livable, and successful regional downtown area; 2. Encourage a pedestrian oriented core; 3. Promote mass transit and other forms of transportation as an alternative to the automobile that will link the downtown with I-95, the airport, the Port, Tri-Rail, Central Beach and the rest of Hollywood Blvd; 4. Encourage historic preservation; 5. Promote creative situating of buildings, transportation routes, and open space to create vistas that will pull the downtown together, link the downtown with the rest of Hollywood Boulevard, let in light, and discourage crime; and 6. Total densities and intensities of development within the Downtown Regional Activity Center shall be as follows: * Residential Land Uses 16,100 dwelling units (includes 1,000 units allocated from Flex Zone 87) * Commercial Land Uses 3,280,000 square feet * Office Land Uses 1,500,000 square feet * Community Facilities 390,000 square feet * Open Space/ Recreation Uses Approx. 47.44 acres The Open Space/Recreation Uses listed above shall preserve those open space and recreation land uses existing within the RAC designated area at the time of the effective date of this amendment, including Young Circle park. The Office and Commercial intensities listed above shall be convertible from Office to Commercial (or vice versa) based on equivalence of traffic impacts (PM peak hour) as calculated by the current edition of the ITE Traffic Generation Manual. Conversions from Office to Commercial (or vice versa) shall be implemented administratively by the City, and shall be reported at least annually to the Broward County Planning Council as part of the City's RAC monitoring obligation. The total number of PM peak hour trips generated (as calculated by the current edition of the ITE Traffic Generation Manual) by the Office and Commercial intensities within the RAC area shall not exceed 8,026 PM peak hour trips. In order to begin implementation of the requirements of paragraph 7(B) below, the City shall take those steps which may be necessary to permit the assignment of the 1,000 units allocated from Flexibility Zone 87 to the portion of the RAC area located outside the boundaries of the Downtown Community Redevelopment area existing as of the effective date of this amendment. 7. In its implementation of development and redevelopment within the RAC area, the City shall: A) Direct development and redevelopment proposals, as appropriate, to areas adjacent to major transportation corridors within the RAC area: Hollywood Boulevard, US 1 and Dixie Highway; and B) Direct development and redevelopment, as appropriate, to areas outside the boundaries of the City's Downtown Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) existing as of the effective date of this amendment. The intent of this provision is to permit an aggregate minimum total of 9,100 dwelling units to be developed outside the boundaries of the CRA -- representing; an approximate 2,000 dwelling units increase above existing built intensity outside of the CRA; and (C) Within one year of the effective date of this amendment, the City shall adopt land development regulations which shall protect existing residential areas. These land development regulations will require City Commission approval of any development plans or rezoning proposals on lands zoned for residential use as of the effective date of this amendment located inside the RAC area which seek either: (i) to increase residential density to a level greater than permitted under the applicable property's zoned residential density as of the effective date of this amendment); or (ii) to introduce a non-residential use onto lands residentially zoned as of the effective date of amendment. The purpose and intent of these land development regulations shall be to protect established residential neighborhoods within and adjacent to the RAC area. while allowing appropriate redevelopment to take place. (D) Continue to implement the City's historical preservation regulations to allow for protection of the City's historical/architectural resources pursuant to City regulations; and (E) Administratively provide for the monitoring of development and redevelopment within the RAC area. 8. Development within the RAC designated area shall conform to those portions of the City's City-Wide Master Plan, as adopted into this Comprehensive Plan.

In order for an area to qualify as a Transit Oriented Development, the following criteria must be met: *Land Use Criteria* Residential use is required as a principal component within a Transit Oriented Development. Maximum residential density must be specified for each Transit Oriented Development (TOD), or may vary in the Transit Oriented Development, and must be described in the permitted uses section of the City of Hollywood Future Land Use Element. Residential densities must be specified as both units per gross acre in geographically designated areas and maximum number of permitted units within the designated TOD. When the density of the Transit Oriented Development is specified as units per gross acre the percentage distribution among the mix of uses must also be identified. At least two non-residential uses must be included in the designated area as a principal use: e.g. retail, office, restaurants, personal services, hotel motel, light industrial (including "live work" buildings), research business, civic, and institutional. Additional or expanded stand alone automobile oriented uses such as: large surface parking lots, gas stations auto repair car washes; auto dealers; self equipment storage; "big box" warehouse; single-family detached dwelling units; and drive-through facilities are discouraged unless designed in a manner to encourage pedestrian and transit usage. Minimum and maximum FAR (Floor Area Ratio) for non-residential uses within a TOD must be specified, in the permitted uses section of this Plan and the Broward County Land Use Plan. Minimum non-residential FAR's (Gross) of 2 are encouraged. Non residential intensities may carry within the development and may be specified either as a maximum FAR in geographically designated areas and/or as an overall maximum square footage by use [i.e. pool of square footage by perimeter use (retail, office etc.)]. _Design Guidelines Principles_ Shall include design features promoting and enhancing pedestrian mobility, including connectivity to regional transit stations, based on the following characteristics: a. Integrated transit stops with shelter or station (within the TOD area). b. Public plazas, urban open space or green space pocket park uses accessible to the public must be provided as an integrated component within a Transit Oriented Development. c. Wide (5 feet shall be the minimum and should be consistent with ADA requirements) pedestrian and bicycle paths minimizing conflicts with motorized traffic and are adequately landscaped, shaded and provide opportunities for shelter from the elements. d. Buildings should front the street (zero or minimal setbacks are encouraged). e. Vehicle parking strategies encouraging and supporting transit usage (such as parking that does not front the street, shared parking, parking structures, and/or reduced parking ratios). f. Streets (internal and adjacent to the TOD) should be designed to discourage isolation and provide connectivity (such as streets in the grid pattern). g. Proposed Transit Oriented Developments shall include internal pedestrian and transit amenities to serve the residents and employees within the area designated as a Transit Oriented Development (such as seating on benches or planter ledges, shade, light fixtures, trash receptacles, information kiosks, bicycle parking) or other amenities incorporated into adjacent publicly accessible areas and plaza (such as clocks, fountains, sculpture, drinking fountains, banners, flags and food and refreshment vendor areas.) _Review Process Considerations_ The transportation impact analysis for a proposed Transit Oriented Development designation shall consider the modal shift provided through the provision of transit and the transit-oriented design. A proposed Transit Oriented Development shall demonstrate consistency with the goals, objective and policies and other requirements of the City of Hollywood Comprehensive Plan. _Permitted Uses in Areas Designated Transit Oriented Development_ The following uses are allowed within Transit Oriented Development (TOD) areas to the degree and extent permitted by the applicable zoning regulations. 1. Residential use; (single family detached dwelling units permitted only if it encourages pedestrian and transit use.) 2. Public plazas, urban open space or green space pocket park uses accessible to the public. 3. Retail, office, restaurants and personal services, hotel motel, light industrial (including "live work" buildings), research business, civic, institutional and transit related facilities. The TOD Land Use designation encourages redevelopment or development of significant areas served by regional transit stations. The major purposes of this designation are to facilitate multi-use and mixed-use development, encourage mass transit, reduce the need for automobile travel, provide incentives for quality development, and give definition to the urban form. Hollywood's Transit Oriented Development will: * Focus on the best mix of office, service, retail, entertainment, residential, community facilities, open space and transportation uses promoting a lively, livable, and successful Transit Oriented Development area; * Encourage a pedestrian oriented core; * Promote mass transit and other forms of transportation as an alternative to the automobile that will link the downtown with 1-95, the airport, the Port, Tri- Rail, Hollywood Beach with the rest of the City; and * Promote creative situating of buildings, transportation routes, and open space to create vistas linking the developments together. ### Transit Oriented Corridor Facilitate mixed use development with access to transit stations or stops along existing and planned high performance transit service corridors (such as bus rapid transit or rapid bus) designated in the Broward County Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element, the Broward County Transit Master Plan and Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) Long Range Transportation Plan, Broward County Transit Development Plan, or local adopted financially feasible transportation or transit plan, through the establishment of a Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) land use category within the Broward County Land Use Plan. State Road 7, which is an existing transit corridor designated for high performance transit service such as bus rapid transit, or rapid bus by the above referenced plans, is appropriate for this designation. The Transit Oriented Corridor category may also be applicable along other existing and planned high performance transit corridors designed in the Broward County Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element, the Broward County Transit Master Plan and Broward County MPO's Long Range Transportation Plan, Broward County Transit Development Plan, or local adopted financially feasible transportation or transit plan. ### Land Use Criteria Specific geographic land areas must be designated as a Transit Oriented Corridor. This designation may only be applied to areas within approximately 1/4 mile on either side of the mainline transit corridor. The area may extend beyond 1/4 mile around all major intersections, activity nodes and in locations served by existing or funded community shuttle service. Residential use is required as a principal component within a Transit Oriented Corridor. Maximum residential density must be specified, may vary along the corridor, and must be described in the permitted uses section of the City of Hollywood Land Use Element and Broward County Land Use Plan. Residential densities must be specified as both units per gross acre in geographically designated areas and maximum number of permitted units (e.g. pool of units in the "Regional Activity Center" (RAC) designation). When the density of the area is specified as units per gross acre the percentage distribution among the mix of uses must also be identified. At least two non-residential uses must be included in the designated area as a principal use: e.g. retail, office, restaurants and personal services, hotel motel, light industrial (including "live work" buildings), research business, civic and institutional. Minimum and maximum FAR (Floor Area Ratio) or other measurements of intensity for non-residential uses within a TOC must be specified, in the permitted uses section of this Plan and the Broward County Land Use Plan. Minimum non- residential FAR’s (gross) of 2 are encouraged. Non-residential intensities may vary within the development and may be specified either as a maximum FAR in geographically designated areas and/or as an overall maximum square footage by use [e.g. pool of square footage by permitted use (retail, office etc.)]. Additional or expanded stand alone automobile oriented uses such as: large surface parking lots, gas stations auto repair car washes; auto dealers; self equipment storage; "big box" warehouse; single-family detached dwelling units; carwashes; and drive through facilities are discouraged unless designed in a manner to encourage pedestrian and transit usage. ### Design Guidelines Principles Proposed Transit Oriented Corridors shall adequately address the transition to adjacent residential development and promote connectivity to transit stations and stops. Public plazas, urban open space or green space pocket park uses accessible to the public must be provided as an integrated component within a Transit Oriented Corridor. Proposed Transit Oriented Corridors shall include design features promoting and enhancing pedestrian mobility, including connectivity to transit stops and stations, based on the following characteristics: a. Integrated transit stops with shelter or station (within the TOC area). b. Wide (5 feet shall be the minimum consistent with ADA requirements) pedestrian and bicycle paths that minimize conflicts with motorized traffic and are adequately landscaped, shaded and provide opportunities for shelter from the elements. c. Buildings should front the street (zero or minimal setbacks are encouraged). d. Vehicle parking strategies encouraging and supporting transit usage (such as parking that does not front the street, shared parking, parking structures, and/or reduced parking ratios). e. Streets (internal and adjacent to the TOC) should be designed to discourage isolation and provide connectivity (such as streets in the grid pattern). f. Proposed Transit Oriented Corridors must include internal pedestrian and transit amenities to serve the residents and employees within the area designated as a Transit Oriented Corridor (such as seating on benches or planter ledges, shade, light fixtures, trash receptacles, information kiosks, bicycle parking) or other amenities incorporated into adjacent publicly accessible areas and plaza (such as clocks, fountains, sculpture, drinking fountains, banners, flags and food and refreshment vendor areas.) The intent of the required Design Guidelines Principles is to provide guidelines for implementation of the TOC land use category. Developments are encouraged to use some or all of the above design strategies, which accomplish the goals of using design elements to enhance pedestrian and transit mobility. County review of applications seeking TOC land use category designations will only determine whether the City of Hollywood has adopted, through plan policies, a cohesive set of implementation strategies to accomplish the design strategies sought, and will not seek to require a specific design approach or a fixed set of design approaches as a requirement for County approval of the land use designation sought. *Review Process Considerations* The transportation impact analysis for a proposed Transit Oriented Corridor designation shall consider the modal shift provided through the provision of transit and the transit oriented design. A proposed Transit Oriented Corridor shall demonstrate consistency with the goals, objective and policies and other requirements of the City of Hollywood Comprehensive Plan. *Permitted Uses in Areas Designated Transit Oriented Corridor* The following uses are allowed within Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) areas to the degree and extent permitted by the applicable zoning regulations. 1. Residential use; (single family detached dwelling units permitted only if it encourages pedestrian and transit use.) 2. Public plazas, urban open space or green space/pocket park uses accessible to the public. 3. Retail, office, restaurants and personal services, hotel/motel, light industrial (including "live work" buildings), research business, civic, institutional and transit related facilities. The TOC Land Use designation encourages redevelopment or development of significant areas. The major purposes of this designation are to facilitate multi-use and mixed-use development, encourage mass transit, reduce the need for automobile travel, provide incentives for quality development, and give definition to the urban form. Hollywood's Transit Oriented Corridors will: - Focus on the best mix of office, service, retail, entertainment, residential, community facilities, open space and transportation uses promoting a lively, livable, and successful transit oriented corridor area; - Encourage a pedestrian oriented core; - Promote mass transit and other forms of transportation as an alternative to the automobile that will link the downtown with 1-95, the airport, the Port, Tri- Rail, Hollywood Beach with the rest of the City; and - Promote creative situating of buildings, transportation routes, and open space to create vistas linking the corridors together. ### Intensity Standards for Non-residential Land Uses Per Section 163.3177(6)(a) of Florida Statutes, local governments are required to define in their comprehensive plan standards for the intensity of use of nonresidential land uses. The City of Hollywood has relied on its zoning and land development regulations to control intensity of nonresidential uses, through limitations on height, lot coverage, number of permitted square feet, landscape and parking requirements. The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) requires local governments to include intensity standards for nonresidential uses in the future land use element. With the exception of land designated Regional Activity Center (RAC) all non residential uses must provide intensity standards. Lands with the RAC designation are not required to provide intensity standards because under the Broward County Land Use Plan lands with the land use designation have intensity standards given in terms of maximum square footage. As Broward County had already set a precedent in allowing “flexibility” of allocating residential densities, as long as the overall density of a flex zone was not exceeded, the logical extension for the City of Hollywood is to apply intensity standards to City sub -areas instead of parcels. The logical sub-areas are as determined in the City-Wide Master Plan. (See details map LU-1). This system envisions the evaluation of each proposed land use amendment to determine whether approving the proposed amendment would cause the overall average of the FAR for the particular nonresidential land use or uses for that sub area to be exceeded. If not, the amendment could be deemed compatible from the perspective of intensity. The maximum FAR for nonresidential land uses in each sub area, with certain exceptions explained below, is provided in the following table. | Land Use Category | Floor Area Ratio | | :--- | :--- | | Office | 3.0 | | General Business | 3.0 | | Employment Center | 3.0 | | Industrial | 3.0 | | Utilities | 3.0 | | Transportation | 3.0 | | Community Facilities | 3.0 | | Open Space and Recreation | 3.0 | | Conservation | 0.25 | | Electrical Generating Facilities | 3.0 | | **Land Use Category** | **Floor Area Ratio** | | Transit Oriented Corridor | 2.0 | | Transit Oriented District | 2.0 | VI. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES GOAL: Promote a distribution of land uses that will enhance and improve the residential, business, resort, and natural communities while allowing land owners to maximize the use of their property.

INTRODUCTION In 1993, the Florida Legislature amended Chapter 163 F.S. to require each local government within the urbanized area of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to prepare a Transportation Element which would replace the Traffic Circulation Element, Mass Transit Element, and Ports, Aviation and Related Facilities Element. The purpose of the Transportation Element is to plan for a multi-modal transportation system that places more emphasis on public transportation systems. The Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) is the principal process for updating comprehensive plans to ensure that the plan adequately describes current conditions, includes new future conditions maps, appropriate objectives and is consistent with all current statute and rule requirements. The EAR process for the City of Hollywood was undertaken in 2005. The consolidated Transportation Element reflects a shift in state policy to a multi-modal transportation planning system. The new Transportation Element requires that intergovernmental coordination and municipalities must include data from the Broward County Transportation Element to successfully meet all state requirements. The Transportation Element must be a complete comprehensive plan element including relevant data, analysis, maps and goals, objectives and policies. Florida State regulations specifically list the minimum requirements of the element. Minimum requirements include but are not limited to: 1) analysis of the existing and projected levels of service and system needs; 2) a demonstration of the integration and coordination among various modes of transportation; and 3) an analysis of the City of Hollywood’s compatibility with regional and state transportation plans. # II. EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM Rule 9J-5.019(2), Florida Administrative Code (FAC), requires the Transportation Element be based upon the following data as described herein: 1. General location of the transportation system features; 2. Existing functional classification and maintenance responsibilities; 3. Transit trip generators and attractors; 4. Designated transportation facilities for hurricane evacuation; 5. The existing peak hour, peak direction of level of service for roads, public transit facilities, and corridors or routes; and 6. Capacity of significant parking facilities and duration of limitations. The City of Hollywood hereby incorporates the Broward County, Florida, Comprehensive Plan Volume 4 Support Documents, (June 1997) to satisfy the requirements of Rule 9J-5.005(2)(g). References to this document are noted as Broward County Transportation Element within the text below. A. **The transportation system.** The transportation system encompasses the following networks: roadways, public transit, bikeways, pedestrianways, waterways, airports, railways, recreational traffic, and intermodal facilities. 1. **Roadway network.** The roadway network includes the following features: roadway segments, signalization, roadway amenities and significant parking facilities that contribute to the City of Hollywood’s mobility goals. This subsection also presents safety-related roadway network data. a. *Segments.* A roadway segment or link is a portion of a roadway defined for the purpose of traffic analysis. The segment origination and termination points are typically signalized intersections or the point where the number of lanes on a roadway changes. Segments can be classified by lanes and functions. *Number of lanes.* Rule 9J-5.019(2)9, FAC, requires the number of through lanes for each roadway be identified on an existing transportation map or map series. Map M-3 shows the existing 2005 Roadway Network Map with number of lanes consistent with the rule requirement. b. *Intersections and interchanges.* An intersection is defined as the general area where two or more roadways join or cross at grade, including the roadway and roadside facilities for traffic movements within the intersection. An intersection is an important part of the roadway network because its design influences the efficiency, safety, speed, cost of operation, and capacity of roadways. No data is presently available on the number and characteristics of Broward County’s intersections. Interchanges are designed to permit traffic to move freely from one road to another without crossing another line of traffic. Generally, four types of interchanges are used in Broward County’s intrastate system: Partial Cloverleaf (PC), Diamond (D), Mixed Directional (MD), and All Directional (AD). c. *Bridges, overpasses and tunnels.* A bridge is a structure, including supports, erected over a depression or an obstruction, such as water, a highway, or railway, which has a track or passageway for carrying traffic or other moving loads. The bridges, culverts, pedestrian and railroad overpasses and tunnels in Broward County total 601. Among these, 347 are regularly inspected and maintained by the FDOT, 108 are County maintained, and 146 are municipally maintained. d. *Right-of-way.* Right-of-way often is the major cost for many transportation improvement projects. Therefore, the acquisition of the needed land should be planned far in advance of the scheduled construction time. The Broward County Trafficways Plan, administered by the Broward County Planning Council, is a roadway right-of-way preservation plan. To accommodate the impacts of new development, right-of-way is dedicated by developing parcels to provide for an adequate regional roadway network. A dedication for at least half of the roadway width that the Trafficways Plan calls for is normally required at the platting stage. Currently there are four main classifications designated in the Trafficways Plan: limited access/controlled; arterial; collector; and one-way pair. The right-of-way width for the limited access and controlled freeways is 325 feet; for arterial roadways, it varies from 100 to 200 feet; for collector roads, it ranges from 70 to 94 feet; and for one-way pairs, the range is from 42 to 54 feet. Where right-of-way cannot be dedicated as a condition of development order approval, right-of-way is acquired through condemnation. Broward County’s Capital Improvements Element, does not include right-of-way acquisition as a separate line item; instead, the cost is included as part of the total construction project. The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), however, does include a separate line item for right-of-way acquisition. The widening of SR 7 is a major project requiring right-of-way acquisition. Broward County Transportation Element and its implementing policies address right-of-way protection and preservation. e. *Signalization.* Signalization is an important part of the roadway system. It controls the flow of traffic, therefore, it affects the traffic volume passing through a particular intersection. For isolated (that is, non-system or uncoordinated) operation, the signal type indicates the degree to which a traffic signal’s cycle length, phase plan, and phase times are preset or actuated. There are currently two types of signals in use: Actuated signals and Semi-actuated signals. Intersections that have actuated signals will have vehicle detectors for all approaches. Each phase is subject to a minimum and maximum green time and some phases may be “skipped” if no vehicle demand is detected. Intersections installed with semi-actuated signals only have detectors located on the minor street. The signal is set such that the green is always on the major street unless a vehicle is detected on the minor street. The pre-timed signal has preset sequence of phases in repetitive order. Each phase has a fixed green time and change interval that is repeated in each cycle. The Broward County Traffic Engineering Division is responsible for installing and maintaining all signal systems in the County. Presently, there are 1,200 actuated signals (including pedestrian signals), of which approximately 950 are under computerized coordinated control. The City of Hollywood’s signalized intersections are maintained by the Broward County Traffic Engineering Division. The City of Hollywood’s signalized intersections are identified on Map M-10. The purpose of traffic signal computerization is to optimize signal operation, thereby, providing a more efficient transportation system. Coordination of traffic signals through computerization has been recognized as one of most effective ways to improve the traffic flows. Through its Capital Improvement Program, Capital Improvement Element and Transportation Element Policy, which addresses energy-efficiency, Broward County will continue the systematic installation and maintenance of a fully computerized signal system countywide. f. *Signage.* Signing and markings are features of traffic control and operation that must be considered in the geometric layout of each facility. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Broward County, and the municipalities create and maintain signage on their functionally assigned roadways. g. *Amenities.* Landscaping is the primary highway amenity. Landscape design of completed highways serves functional, as well as aesthetic purposes. Plants can serve functions of glare reduction, acoustical control, erosion control, and traffic control, if they are well chosen and judiciously placed. Plants also can create and define spaces, by complementing and improving the attractiveness of certain land forms, while masking undesirable views. Landscape design can influence speed through control of roadway focal points. h. *Significant parking facilities and durational limits.* Significant public parking facilities to achieve mobility goals in Hollywood are located at the Sheridan Street Tri-Rail passenger rail station and Mid-Port. These are illustrated on Map M-5. The City of Hollywood’s major private parking facility is located at Oakwood Plaza. Other significant private parking facilities include the Hollywood Mall, the Hollywood Super Mall, and the Sheridan Plaza. i. *Functional classification, roadway mileage, and maintenance responsibilities.* The functional classification of a roadway refers to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved designation that divides roadways into a hierarchy of types ranging from arterials to locals. This hierarchy based on traffic mobility and land access. Rule 9J-5.019(2)(a)8, FAC, requires the existing functional classification and maintenance responsibility for all roads to be shown on the existing transportation map series. A road located within the urban area as defined by the census is classified as urban, while those outside the urban area are classified as rural. The City of Hollywood utilizes the Federal Functional Classification system to categorize the character of service of its roadways. Table T-1 identifies the Broward County Functional Classification for Hollywood’s roadways. The City of Hollywood’s roadway network totals 421 centerline paved miles and 61 unpaved, all of which fall under the urban classification. The City of Hollywood’s existing roadway network’s functional classification is identified on Map M-2. **Table T-1** **Federal Functional Classification System** | Urban | Rural | | :--- | :--- | | Principal Arterial | Principal Arterial | | Minor Arterial | Minor Arterial | | Collector | Major Collector and Minor Collector | | Local | Local | **Source:** Highway Functional Classification Concepts, Criteria and Procedures, Federal Highway Administration The maintenance responsibility of the County roadway system is shared by federal, state, county, and municipal governments. In general, Broward County is responsible for the maintenance of all county roads and the State is responsible for maintaining principal arterial roads. The municipal governments are responsible for city collectors. The designation of federal functional classification is made following the publication of the the decennial U.S. Census or whenever required by federal regulation. When evaluating the function of a road, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) considers a road’s trip purposes in relation to the total public roadway network. A road is classified based upon its most significant trip purpose; however, a road may serve more than one significant trip purpose. The federal functional classification system recognizes twelve (12) significant trip purposes. 1. _Arterial roadways_ are classified as either principal or minor. A roadway serving only one of the arterial road purposes is classified as a minor arterial, while one serving more than a single purpose is classified as a principal arterial road. All limited access highways and roads which connect urbanized areas are considered to serve several trip purposes, and thus are classified as principal arterial roads. 2. _Collector roads_ are classified as either major or minor. A minor collector road’s significant purpose is providing access to diffuse land use areas; all other rural collector roads are classified as major. The Federal Highway Administration has developed a federal functional classification for Broward County’s roadways. j. _Florida Intrastate Highway System._ Section 334.03, FS, defines the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS) as a system of limited access and controlled access facilities on the State Highway System, which have the capacity to provide high- speed and high-volume traffic movements in an efficient and safe manner. k. _Florida Strategic Intermodal System_ During the 2003 Florida legislative session, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and its partners recommended, and the Legislature and Governor adopted in Sections 339.61-64, Florida Statutes, criteria for designating: * The SIS, which includes those facilities that play a critical role in moving people and goods to and from other nations and states, as well as among economic regions within Florida; and * The Emerging SIS, which includes facilities that are of statewide or interregional significance, but do not currently meet the SIS thresholds. State legislation enacted in 2004 has created a Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) that is a regional network of transportation facilities including the FIHS roadway component. The corridors and hubs, linked by connectors, which comprise the SIS are critical to the movement of people and goods in Florida and, in turn, the state's economic competitiveness. To further emphasize the importance of designated SIS roadways, the Statewide Minimum Level of Service (LOS) Standards in Chapter 14-94, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) were amended in May 2006 to specifically address SIS facilities. Local governments are required to adopt these standards in accordance with Florida Statute 163.3180(10). The Department uses its LOS standards in reviewing local government comprehensive plans and assessing impacts from developments of regional impacts (DRIs) and other developments affecting SIS facilities (Rule 14-94.001, F.A.C.). Table T-2 lists those Broward County roadways on the Strategic Intermodal System which is inclusive of the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS), within or near the City of Hollywood. ### Table T-2 ### Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS) ### of the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) | FIHS/SIS Roadways | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Corridors** | **Hubs** | **Connectors** | | I-95 | Port Everglades, including spurs to FEC and CSX railroad lines | I-595 east (Eller Drive) into Port Everglades | | Florida Turnpike | Hollywood Amtrak/Tri-Rail Station | SR 820/Hollywood Boulevard from I-95 to the Hollywood Amtrak/Tri-Rail Station | | I-595 | Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport | | | CSX and FEC railroad lines | | | Source: Appendix 3-A, Broward County Federal Functional Classification, Florida DOT, District 4, 2005. Designation as part of the SIS establishes a transportation facility as being of statewide or interregional significance. However, SIS designation by itself does not guarantee future funding for improvements to a particular facility. The SIS represents an extension of this strategy to other modes of transportation, focusing on the function of each element of the system: 1. Statewide or interregional significance. The SIS includes the facilities and services that play a critical role in moving people and goods to and from other states and nations, as well as among economic regions within Florida. SIS facilities and services are those most critical to Florida’s transportation system and economy; generally, they support the major flows of interregional, interstate and international trips. Emerging SIS facilities generally serve fast growing economic regions and Rural Areas of Critical Economic Concern. The state will play the lead role in planning and managing the SIS, working with the partners who own, operate, use or otherwise are affected by these systems 2. Regional significance. Facilities and services of regional (intercity/intercounty) significance connect rural, transitioning and urban areas within multi-county regions. They also provide connections between regional economic centers and the SIS. Planning and management of these systems will be led by regional partnerships that augment existing metropolitan planning organization (MPO) and local government planning activities and reflect regional priorities. 3. Local significance. Facilities and services of local significance primarily serve local (intracity/intracounty) trips. Planning and management of local systems will be led by MPOs, counties or cities through existing planning processes. SIS Connectors (Designation Criteria for Intermodal Connectors) Section 339.62, Florida Statutes, stipulates that the SIS also consist of existing or planned intermodal connectors that connect hubs and corridors. These intermodal connectors may include appropriate components of the State Highway System, county road system, city street system, inland waterways and local public transit systems. Policies and criteria for designating SIS and Emerging SIS intermodal connectors were developed by FDOT in collaboration with its partners and the public and consistent with the intent of the Legislature and the Steering Committee. The guiding policies for designating connectors are as follows: * The purpose of SIS connectors is to connect SIS hubs to the nearest or most appropriate SIS corridor; * The purpose of Emerging SIS connectors is to connect Emerging SIS hubs to the nearest or most appropriate SIS or Emerging SIS corridor; and * The function of the SIS and Emerging SIS connectors is to provide safe, secure, efficient, reliable, and direct access between hubs and corridors. The Hollywood Amtrak/Tri-Rail station is the only SIS connector located within the City of Hollywood. I. _Safety_. A safe roadway network enhances the protection of life and property. Safety aspects include crash indicators, access management standards, and hurricane evacuation. 1. _Crash indicators_. The City of Hollywood along with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol collect vehicular crash, fatality and injury data. This data is then forwarded to the Florida Department of Highway and Motor Vehicle Safety (FDHMVS) for processing. Table T-3 illustrates the number of vehicular crashes and the percent change in crashes from the previous year for the years 2000 to 2004 in Broward County as compared to the State of Florida. During that period, vehicle crashes decreased by 1 percent annually. The Broward County Transportation Element calls for maintaining 1.9 percent annual increase or less in vehicle crashes through implementation of a number of different programs, activities and actions.

The Broward County Sheriff, the State Highway Patrol, and municipal police departments do collect such data and such data is forwarded to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FDHSMV) for processing. Table T-5 depicts intersections in City of Hollywood on the list of the top ten Broward County intersections with the highest numbers of crashes in 2004. This intersection has a confidence level of 99.99, which indicates that abnormally high crash rates occurred at this intersection. ### Table T-5 ### Intersections in the City of Hollywood on Top Ten Broward County Intersections ### With the Highest Numbers of Crashes in 2004 | Location | No. of Crashes | Crash Rate[^p130-1] | Average Crash Rate[^p130-2] | Safety Ratio[^p130-3] | Confidence Level[^p130-4] | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | SR 7 at Sheridan St. | 54 | 3.343 | 0.596 | 5.61 | 99.9 | **Note:** [^p130-1]: Number of crashes per 1 million vehicles.

The designated roadway facilities critical to the evacuation of the coastal population prior to an impending natural disaster are shown on Map M-9. Table T-6 shows the four (4) east-west evacuation routes leading from and into the City of Hollywood’s Coastal High Hazard Area. Since all bridges crossing the Intracoastal Waterway are moveable bascule bridges, their heights are critical for the timing in the event of evacuation, and are identified on Table T-7. ### Table T-6 ### Hurricane Evacuation Routes and Other Pertinent Information | Route | General Area Served for Evacuation | Lanes: SR A1A to US 1 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Dania Beach Blvd. | Dania Beach Blvd. to Sheridan St.. | 4 & 6 lanes | | Sheridan Street | Dania Beach Blvd. to Hollywood Blvd. | 4 lanes | | Hollywood Blvd. | Hollywood Blvd. to Hallandale Beach Blvd. | 4 lanes | | Hallandale Bch.

These goals were used as a basis for selecting those projects that most closely met with community values and desires. Maps M-28a and 28b reflect projects that are programmed in the five year TIP and the Year 2030 cost-feasible roadway projects. 2. *Public transit network.* The public transit network provides transport to the public. It includes public transit facilities, public transit services, major public transit trip generators and attractors and high capacity corridors. Map M-6 shows the City of Hollywood Existing Public Transit. Map M-8 shows the Existing Railway and Intermodal Facilities Network, including public transit routes, railways, terminals and transfer stations located within or which serve the City of Hollywood. *** **City of Hollywood** **Transportation Element T-12** **January 2008** a. *Public transit facilities.* Public transit facilities include bus terminals (Major Transit Hub), transfer stations, rights-of-way, motorized vehicles (buses and vans), transit bus stops, bus bays, transit infrastructure, and other related facilities. *Transfer stations.* A transfer station is a fixed location where passengers interchange from one route or vehicle to another. Table T-8 identifies the City of Hollywood’s 2 transfer stations with their connecting routes. ### Table T-8 ### City of Hollywood Public Transit Transfer Stations | Transfer Station | Nearest Intersection | Connecting Routes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Hollywood Super Mall | US 441/Hollywood Blvd. | 2,3,5,7,17,18 | | Young Circle | US1/Hollywood Blvd. | 1,6,7,9,28 | Source: Broward County Transit Guide, Broward County Mass Transit Division, (2006).

City of Hollywood Transportation Element T-13 January 2008 *Rights-of-way and exclusive public transit corridors.* The City of Hollywood does not have a regulation in its Land Development Code to acquire additional right-of-way along major arterial roadways during the roadway widening process, for bus pullout bays, also called bus bays. However, the City of Hollywood may request individual projects for development/redevelopment to have these facilities placed on their property(ies) during the design review process. In addition, the City of Hollywood will continue to work with Broward County during the widening process. Bus pullout bays are specialized bus stop auxiliary lanes, independent of the through traffic travel lane. The bus bays are designed to minimize traffic obstruction and maximize passenger safety. As of January 2006 approximately 456 bus pull-out bays have been constructed. The Broward County Land Development Code Minimum Engineering Standards, and FDOT Transit Facilities Guidelines specify that a standard bus bay shall be 12 feet in width and 196 feet in length. Exclusive public transit corridors are roadway or railway corridors exclusively designated by the FDOT or a local government for public transit, which are physically separated from general use corridors and to which access is highly restricted. The South Florida Rail Corridor, previously known as the CSX Transportation railway corridor, is the only exclusive public transportation corridor in Broward County. *Public transit bus stops.* The City of Hollywood supports the County’s efforts to reduce the number of non-accessible stops. The City of Hollywood, where applicable, will coordinate with BCT to provide pedestrian and bicycle access to the stops. The City of Hollywood Real Estate Office shall also coordinate with BCT to provide surplus rights of way as future bus stops. The City of Hollywood will also request BCT to develop a cooperative relationship whereby the urban design objectives for certain corridors and/or districts, e.g., Community Redevelopment Area are incorporated into the bus stops. The City of Hollywood has 657 stops, 53 shelters, 374 benches and 77 bus bays. Table T-11 identifies bus stops within the City of Hollywood. **Table T-11** **Bus Stop Inventory in the City of Hollywood** | Municipality | Stops | Shelter | Benches | Bay/R-T-L | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | HOLLYWOOD | 657 | 53 | 374 | 77 | Source: Broward County Mass Transit Division, (2005) *Public transit infrastructure.* On November 2, 2004, the City of Hollywood signed a 15-year bus shelter agreement with Street Furnishing Advertising Group, Inc. to provide 55 shelters within the City per year. b. *Public transit services.* Public transit services are passenger services provided by public, private or non-profit entities. They include the following surface transit modes: fixed route bus service, limited route bus service, feeder bus service, demand responsive service, paratransit, community bus service, intercounty service, and other services. Map M-6 shows the existing fixed public transit routes that serve the City of Hollywood. Eleven (11) fixed bus routes provided by Broward County Transit transverse roadways within the City of Hollywood, as listed: * Route 1: Runs from Aventura Mall to Broward Central Terminal via US 1/Federal Highway. * Route 3: Runs from Century Village to Sheridan Street and US 1/Federal Highway via Taft Street. * Route 4: Runs from Aventura Mall to Fort Lauderdale Airport Tri-Rail Station via SR A1A/Ocean Drive. * Route 5: Runs from Century Village to Hallandale Beach Boulevard & N.E 14 Avenue via Pembroke Road. * Route 6: Runs from County Line Road and Dixie Highway to Broward Central Terminal. * Route 7: Runs from Pines Boulevard & US 27 to Young Circle via Pines Boulevard and Hollywood Boulevard. * Route 9: Runs from Young Circle to Broward Central Terminal. * Route 12: Runs from West Regional Terminal to North Beach Park. * Route 15: Runs from County Line Rd and SW 52 Avenue to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood Airport Tri-Rail Station. * Route 17: Runs from Washington Street and US 441/SR 7 to Sheridan Street Tri-Rail Park & Ride. * Route 18: Runs from Golden Glades Park & Ride to Sandlefoot Cove Boulevard And US 441/SR 7 via US 441/SR 7. Level of Service. A level of service analysis based on headways and hours operation is shown in table T-12. As shown, five (5) of the eleven bus routes within the City of Hollywood operate below a level of service “D”. **Table T-12** **Bus Level of Service – Based on Headway** | Route | Days of Service | Service frequency | Buses per Hour LOS[^p135-1] | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 15 Minutes | C | | 3 | Monday-Friday | 60 Minutes | F | | 4 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 30 Minutes | E | | 5 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 60 Minutes | F | | 6 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 30 Minutes | E | | 7 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 30 Minutes | E | | 9 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 45 Minutes | F | | 12 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 45 Minutes | F | | 15 | Monday-Saturday Sunday | 20 Minutes | D | | 17 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 60 Minutes | F | | 18 | Monday-Friday Saturday Sunday | 15 Minutes | C | Fixed-route bus service. The Broward County Mass Transit Division operates Broward County Transit (BCT), a fixed-route bus system servicing nearly all of Broward County’s developable area. It provides service on a repetitive, fixed-schedule basis. Each fixed-route trip serves the same origins and designations. Currently, BCT operates 40 transit routes. Connections also are made to Miami-Dade County and [^p135-1]: Palm Beach County and Tri-Rail Commuter Rail service (7 stations). Fixed-route transit service is provided seven days a week, although at reduced levels on Sundays and certain holidays. Routes operate from as early as 4:45 a.m. until 12:25 p.m. on weekdays and Saturday, and from 6:45 a.m. to 10:15 p.m. on Sundays. The transit service coverage area is identified on Map M-6. The City of Hollywood is linked to Miami-Dade County through Route 1 that traverses Federal Highway. Fixed-route bus service to the Sheridan Street and Hollywood Boulevard Tri-Rail terminals is currently provided by Routes 12 and 7, respectively. *Transit route load factor* is a capacity performance measure used in the Congestion Management System (CMS). A bus route with a load factor of one (1) is operating at capacity, meaning all seats are occupied. Table T-13 shows there are 24 out of the 40 transit routes which exceed the load factor of one (1) during peak hours. ### Table T-13 ### Fixed Public Transit Routes Exceeding the Load Factor One in City of Hollywood | Roadway Segment | Route | | :--- | :--- | | US 1 from Broward Terminal to Johnson St | 1 | | Johnson St from I-95 to Federal Hwy | 9 | | NW 56 Av from Stirling Rd to Taft St | 15 | | Taft St from US-1 to Dixie Hwy | 17 | | US-441/SR-7 from Pembroke Rd to Sheridan St | 18 | | Hallandale Beach Blvd from US-1 to Florida Turnpike | 28 | | Davie Blvd from SW 26 Avenue to SW 17 Avenue | 30 | Source: Broward County Congestion Management System: Performance Evaluation and Monitoring, Broward County Transportation Planning Division, (2004) The busiest BCT route with the highest number of boarding’s is Route 18, which travels on SR 7, which transverses the City of Hollywood. This route operates between Sandlefoot Cove Plaza in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County on the north, to a southern terminus at the Golden Glades Transit Hub in Miami-Dade County, with 15 minute headways during peak hours. The average daily ridership is more than 13,000 each weekday. Route 18 requires the use of 17 buses during peak hours. *Limited bus services.* Limited bus services, which has faster operating speeds and serves a limited number of origins and destinations, provides a level of service comparable to the automobile, due to less stop along arterials. BCT instituted a limited stop service on SR 7 (US 441) called the “441 Breeze” in 2007. It has over 1,800 passengers boarding’s per weekday. *SFRTA/Tri-Rail Feeder bus services.* Feeder bus service routes are defined as local transit service that picks up and delivers passengers to a rail transit terminal, express bus stop, transfer point, or terminal. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with the Broward County Mass Transit Division to develop feeder bus services for the Sheridan Street and Hollywood Boulevard Tri-Rail stations. The development of the Hollywood Boulevard Intermodal Station will be coordinated with this service to ensure feeder bus service is provided at the station. The Tri-Rail Double Track Corridor Improvement Program includes expansion of the Feeder Bus Service. Feeder bus services are currently provided to SFRTA/Tri-Rail stations in the City of Hollywood under a private contract and are identified in Table T-14. **Table T-14** **SFRTA/Tri-Rail Feeder Bus Service** | Station Name | Route’s Main Roadways | Vehicles | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Ft. Lauderdale Airport | Griffin Road and Anglers Ave | 3 | Source: Train Schedule and System Information, South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) 2006. *Demand responsive service.* Broward County funds and administers the Transportation Options Program (TOPS), which provides door-to-door service, upon request, to residents who are disabled, transportation or economically disadvantaged, for several specific trip purposes. The program, introduced by Broward County Transit’s Paratransit Service in December 1996, gives consumers a choice of transportation service providers. Presently, four (4) transportation entities provide demand responsive service: American Automobile Association (AAA); Area Agency on Aging in Pembroke Pines and Deerfield Beach; Handi-Van; and Village Car Service. *Community Bus services.* Several municipalities provide community transit routes. The City of Hollywood currently does not offer municipal service routes. c. *Major public transit trip generators and attractors.* Major public transit generators and attractors are concentrated areas of intense land use or activity which produce or attract a significant number of local trip ends. Public transit generators are typified by residential land uses. Public transit attractors include commercial, industrial, office, commercial recreation, educational, institutional, and transportation land uses. Ideally, public transit should connect major transit generators to major transit attractors. The Year 2000 Major Public Transit Generators and Attractors major public transit generator and attractor TAZs are displayed in Map M-6b along with the location of the Local and Regional Activity Centers. Broward County defines a major public transit *generator* as one of the top 5% (40) Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) with the highest population density. A major public transit *attractor* is one of the top 5% (40) TAZs with the highest employment density The major public transit generator and attractor TAZs for the City of Hollywood are displayed in Transportation Element Map M-15a, which reflects Year 2030 Major Public Transit Generators and Attractors. d. *High capacity transit corridors.* Providing high-capacity transportation will ensure economic vitality as well as minimize the impact on the environment. Articulated buses and express transit service alternatives are critical to improving transit options. Other options include continuing to explore the feasibility of fixed guideway and high-performance systems such as Bus Rapid Transit. The premium transit corridors are shown in Table T-14. Several corridors within the City of Hollywood are enhanced on the Future Public Transit, shown on Map M-15. Map M-17 shows the Future Railway & Intermodal Facilities map for the City of Hollywood. The following table identifies future high-capacity premium transit enhancements along the following corridors: e. *Safety.* Public transit safety addresses such issues as the safety certification process, transit fatalities and injuries, security surveillance at terminals and on buses, and hurricane evacuation. Table T-15 Premium Transit Corridors Source: Broward County, Mass Transit Division, (2005). | Premium Transit Enhancement | Transit Corridor | Limits | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | LRT | FEC RR Transit Corridor | From Miami-Dade County to Palm Beach County | | BRT/Rapid Bus | SR 7 Transit “Bridge” | Phase 1: Miami-Dade County to I-595; Phase 2: I-595 to Palm Bach County | | Rapid Bus | Pines/Hollywood Blvd | From SW 160th Ave to Young Circle | | Tri-Rail | Tri-Rail/CSX Transit Corridor | From Miami-Dade County to Palm Beach County | *Safety certification.* BCT is in full compliance with the safety requirements mandated by the System Safety Program Plan (SSPP). *Hurricane evacuation.* BCT continues to provide bus service to the Coastal High Hazard Area. In the event of a hurricane, BCT buses are called upon to assist in the evacuation of residents who are unable to make other arrangements for transportation to designated shelters. Transportation for residents with Special Needs will be coordinated through Broward County’s Elderly Services Office and BCT’s Paratransit (TOPS). Hollywood residents located east of US-1 are included in Plan A or Plan B evacuation areas and are eligible for these services. However, there are no designated shelters located in the City of Hollywood. 3. **Bicycle network.** The bicycle network includes bicycle facilities and services designed to enable and encourage the use of bicycles for recreational and utilitarian purposes. Recreational trips include travel for leisure, enjoyment, or pleasure and utilitarian trips include travel for work or errands. The City of Hollywood coordinates with Broward County on these efforts. a. *Bicycle facilities.* Bicycle facilities include bikeways, bicycle parking racks and lockers, bicycle transport racks, shower facilities, and the velodrome. *Bikeways.* A bikeway is any road, path or way which is open to bicycle travel and from which motor vehicles are excluded. Bikeways may be located within a roadway right-of-way, but are usually within an independent right-of-way. Bikeways are further defined as bike paths (off road), bicycle lanes, and wide curb lanes (on-road). The locations of bikeways in the City of Hollywood are displayed on Map M-7. City of Hollywood Transportation Element T-20 January 2008 The City of Hollywood Bicycle Suitability Map M-7 displays bikeways and designates traffic interaction ratings, but does not designate routes. It was determined the suitability map is more advantageous than a route map because the user may choose a course of travel based upon ability and confidence. 4. **Pedestrian Network.** The pedestrian network consists of facilities including significant pedestrianways, sidewalks, crosswalks, walkways, access facilities, and amenities. The City of Hollywood’s Broadwalk is considered to be a locally significant pedestrianway. The Hollywood Broadwalk stretches approximately 2.25 miles from Jasmine Terrace to Lee Street. Pedestrians and in-line skaters use the Broadwalk. Bicycles are restricted to a designated lane. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with Broward County through the Greenways Plan to ensure the development of a safe and interconnected pedestrianways network. Broward County indicates several future pedestrian friendly enhancement projects in the City of Hollywood within the Broward County 2030 Cost Feasible Pedestrian Plan. *Sidewalks*. The City of Hollywood embarked upon a short term and long term sidewalk program. The short term was known as Safety First!. These programs were integrated into the City of Hollywood's Capital Improvement Plan. The City of Hollywood coordinates with the Broward County Transportation Planning Division. They are involved in the development of the short-term and long-term Pedestrian Facilities Plans and performs other functions. The 2006 Broward County Sidewalk Conditions and Transit Infrastructure Inventory is an ongoing program to assemble a countywide GIS database to identify deficiencies in the transportation network for these modes. Improvements will be consistent with the Multimodal Long Range Transportation Plan, and the County Commission’s initiative to enhance livability, particularly through improved facilities to support alternative transportation. 5. **Waterway Network.** Prior to 1896, when the Florida East Coast Railway was constructed through Broward County, Broward County was accessible primarily through its navigable waterways. Until 1928, when Port Everglades was created by opening Lake Mabel to the Atlantic Ocean, there was no dependable anchorage for large ships. Today, Port Everglades is accessible by the world's largest ships, while Broward County's other navigable waterways allow navigation by commercial and recreational boats. Waterway facilities include those Broward County water bodies navigable from the Atlantic Ocean, and water-dependent transportation facilities, such as ports, marinas and boat ramps. Waterway services are those that serve navigation, such as passenger and freight services. a. *Navigable water features.* The Broward County Waterway Chart (1996) shows Broward County’s navigable water bodies are the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, the New River and its tributaries, the Dania Cut-off Canal, the Middle River and its tributaries, and the Pompano Canal. These canals and others were dredged to drain land for development, but also serve as transport waterways for pleasure craft, water taxies, and other vessels. For purposes of this subsection, water features are divided into two (2) categories: the Intracoastal Waterway and Other Navigable Waters. *Intracoastal Waterway.* The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) is Broward County’s primary navigable water body, extending from the Palm Beach County line to the Miami-Dade County line, a distance of approximately 24.5 miles. The ICW has an average depth of 10 feet at mean low water (MLW). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has jurisdiction over the ICW. The COE regulates the setback of structures, such as piers and docks, along the ICW. The current regulations prevent the construction, reconstruction and substantial rehabilitation of structures which extend farther than 100 feet from the bank of the main channel. The regulations provide for an exemption from this requirement where the ICW is too narrow to meet the 100 foot criteria. In those cases, the exemption allows a dock to reach 25 feet from the bank of the ICW. For that portion of the ICW within the Port Jurisdictional Area (PJA), the Port Everglades Department has an agreement with the COE to maintain a 42 feet project depth and an average width of 125 feet. The average change in depth attributable to the tidal shift is three (3) feet. b. *Water-dependent transportation facilities.* Water-dependent transportation facilities are those that can only be carried out on, in, or adjacent to water areas because the facility requires access to the water body for waterborne transportation including seaports, marinas, and marine recreational facilities. *Seaports.* Broward County has two (2) seaports: Port Everglades and Port Dania. Port Everglades is Florida’s leading international cruise ship port, has Florida’s largest operating Foreign Trade Zone, has the nation’s second largest petroleum tank farm, the nation’s third largest bulk cement port, is very active in container cargo traffic, and is reportedly one of the nation’s busiest coffee ports. Port Everglades is Broward County’s major water dependent transportation facility. It is the deepest Atlantic seaport south of Norfolk, Virginia. Project water depths in the channel range from 45 feet MLW at the east end near the ocean to 42 feet MLW at the west end. Water depths at the berths vary from 31 feet to 42 feet MLW. The mean tidal range at the entrance is 2.5 feet with a spring tidal range of 3.0 feet. The depth allows the Port to accommodate all ships except for the “Nimitz” Class aircraft carriers. Port Everglades also has one of the shortest, straightest entrance channels along the East Coast. The distance from the ocean entrance channel to the Port’s main turning basin is approximately 1.2 nautical miles, which allows ships to dock within one hour from the sea ocean buoy. The entrance channel is 500 feet at its seaward end narrowing to 450 feet wide at the west end. Port Everglades’ jurisdiction encompasses a total of 2,190 acres (887 hectares) which includes 1,742 acres of upland and 448 acres of submerged land. Upland acreage falls within the following municipalities: * 1,242 acres or 71.3% of Port Everglades is located within the City of Hollywood. * 232 acres or 13.3% is located within the City of Fort Lauderdale. * 234 acres or 13.4% is located within the City of Dania. * 34 acres or 2% is located within unincorporated Broward County. Port Everglades is divided into three (3) areas: Northport, Midport, and Southport. This section presents only a summary of the port facilities. A more detailed description of Port Everglades and its facilities is included in the Coastal Management Element’s Deepwater Port Component (CME/DPC). The CME/DPC’s Existing Railway & Intermodal Facilities Map Series depicts all transportation facilities located within the PJA, including the location of all piers and berths, buildings, passenger and cargo terminals, roadways, and other related facilities. Table T-16 summarizes the extent of the Port facilities. Port Everglades’ rail connections facilitate the intermodal transfer of freight. The Existing Public Transit, Railway & Intermodal Facilities Map Series shows the location of the Port’s rail facilities. The internal Port Everglades Railroad system is owned by the Port, but operated by the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad. Rail service accesses Port Everglades along Eller Drive and then branches to several spurs just west of SE 14th Street. Cargo rail service is provided to Slips 1, 2 and 3, along Eller Drive, and along Spangler Boulevard. Uncongested internal roadways facilitates the intermodal transfer of freight and passengers. The Existing Railway & Intermodal Facilities Map Series identifies the internal roadways and ingress and egress points to Port Everglades: Eller Drive, Spangler Boulevard and Eisenhower Boulevard. Table T-17 identifies the internal road characteristics. The LOS C is consistent throughout the Port. This element provides for the Port Everglades Department to continue to maintain and improve the access and internal roadways network within the Port Jurisdictional Area. The City of Hollywood will request the Port Everglades Department to review any development or redevelopment proposals that are filed with the City of Hollywood to ensure that this is accomplished. ### Table T-16 ### Port Everglades Facilities | Facilities | Number | Specifications | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Cranes | 5 | Container Gantry Cranes | | Warehouses | | | | - Transit Sheds | 9 | 441,484 sq. ft. | | - Foreign Trade Zone | 5 | 388,600 sq. ft. | | - Refrigerated | 1 | 1,600,000 cu. ft. | | *Total* | 15 | N.A. | | Open Storage Yards | | | | - Northport | 1 | 9 acres | | - Midport | 3 | 77 acres | | - Southport | 3 | 180 acres | | *Total* | 7 | 266 acres | | Cruise Terminals | 10 | Terminals 1, 2, 4, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, and 26 | | Berths | 48 | 25,072 linear feet of bulkhead | | Ro/Ro Ramps | 8 | Berths 1, 4, 5A, 18, 19, 33A, 33B, & 33C | | Office Buildings | | | | - Port Owned | 4 | 97,612 sq. ft. | | - Administration | 1 | 81,700 sq. ft. | | - Privately Owned | 1 | 90,000 sq. ft. | | *Total* | 6 | 269,312 sq. ft. | | Service Buildings | | | | - Public Safety | 1 | 21,558 sq. ft. | | - Public Works | 1 | 13,850 sq. ft. | | - Maintenance | 6 | 45,300 sq. ft. | | *Total* | 8 | 80,708 sq. ft. | | Parking Garages | | | | - Northport | 1 | 2,500 spaces | | - Midport | 1 | 1,000 spaces | | *Total* | 2 | 3,500 space | Source: Port Everglades Master Plan, Port Everglades Department.

[^p145-1]: Average Friday’s traffic volume. Source: Volume 4, Broward County Comprehensive Plan, Coastal Management Element, Deepwater Port Component, p. 12-56, Port Everglades Department. Eller Drive serves as the eastern terminus of I-595 and is presently a 4-lane roadway which narrows to a 2-lane roadway between McIntosh Road and SE 19th Avenue. Eller Drive has become a major access point to the Port for commercial traffic since the completion of the Southport Container Facility and I-595. Access to the petroleum storage areas is provided by Eller Drive at SE 14th Avenue. Spangler Drive provides access to the PJA from the SIS/FIHS, via US 1 to I-595 and SR 84 to I-95, and serves the Port's petroleum storage terminals, the Broward County Convention Center, the Northport passenger terminals, and the Midport cargo terminals. Eisenhower Boulevard, at 17th Street Causeway, is the primary entranceway to Northport and provides access to the Broward County Convention Center, Northport Festival Marketplace, the 2,500-car Northport Parking Garage, and the proposed 500-bed Convention Center Hotel. The City of Hollywood’s jurisdiction primarily covers Midport and Southport. c. *Water-related transportation services.* Water related transportation services are provided by private businesses operating through Port Everglades, including containerized cargo, petroleum, bulk cargo (cement, gypsum, and scrap metal), neobulk cargo (lumber, steel, and secondary fiber), and passenger cruises. Port Everglades' containerized cargo tonnage has increased 25.7 percent over the past 10 years. With 5 million tons of containerized cargo in Fiscal Year 2005, Port Everglades is the 12th busiest container port in the nation, according to the Port Import Export Reporting Service (PIERS) published by Commonwealth Business Media Inc. Port Everglades is the port of choice for more than 30 shipping lines thanks to its commitment to convenient, cost-effective transport and safe storage of containerized cargo. Port Everglades is ideal for moving products such as fruit, vegetables, automobiles and apparel to and from Central America, the Caribbean, South America and even the Far East. At the end of 2005, containerized cargo throughput had increased by 18 percent. More than 2,235 vessels are moving nearly 25 million tons of cargo including containerized cargo, break bulk, dry bulk and petroleum products through Port Everglades. As the 12th busiest container port in the country, Port Everglades offers a full range of facilities and services for the cargo shipping industry. The Port is rapidly expanding to meet the changing needs of its clients. For example, Port Everglades has nearly completed a multi-million dollar capital improvement program, adding a permanent container X-ray screening area and expanding container yards in Southport. In addition, the Port has slated 97 acres for future development of containers/trailers, warehousing and an Intermodal Container Transfer Facility. The Port's current facilities and planned expansions focus on transferring and storing all that waterborne commerce as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Current Cargo facilities include: * 324 acres of open yard storage space in Midport and Southport * 200 petroleum storage tanks * 300,000 square feet/27,800 square meters of transit warehouse space * 1.6 million cubic feet of refrigerated storage * 400 reefer outlets Public bus service to the PJA is provided by Broward County Transit (BCT) via Bus Route 40 along the SE 17th Street Causeway, with a stop located at the intersection of SE 17th Street and Eisenhower Boulevard. Port Everglades can, therefore, be accessed through transfers from anywhere the BCT bus routes operate. However, BCT does not presently operate bus routes within the PJA. Casa del Marino Seafarer's House, a private charitable agency located within the PJA, provides free shuttle service for ship employees. The City shall examine future transit connections to and from the Port. d. Safety. Pleasure boating is growing in popularity every year. The U.S. Coast Guard estimated the total number of recreational boats in 1961 at 5.85 million. This number has grown to a current estimate of more than 20 million pleasure boats. As more and more boats continue to cruise Broward County’s navigable waterways for recreation and commerce, safe boating becomes increasingly important to prevent crashes, injury and death. The U.S. Coast Guard national statistics show that there are approximately 7,000 boating crashes reported each year, which results in over 700 fatalities and over $20 million in property damage. Florida currently leads the nation in boating crashes, injuries and fatalities. Some of the major causes of boat accidents include drunk driving, excessive speeds, and congested waterways. The Florida Marine Patrol and the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission are empowered to make sure that the operators of the motorized vessels currently registered in Florida obey all the laws that keep the waterways safe. The safety of Broward County’s waterways and Port Everglades is addressed in their policies. The broad based Policy addresses waterway safety by limiting boat speeds, maintaining County-owned boat ramps, assessing the manatee protection plan, and implementing the flotilla plan in the event of a hurricane. Port Everglades safety is addressed through such actions as channel dredging, adequate roadways, coordinating Port improvements with the Airport and with municipal issued development permits and orders, and protecting the Port from incompatible land uses. During a hurricane, the proper movement and storage of boats is vital. A “flotilla” plan has been established and implemented for such an occasion. The policy calls for the Broward County Emergency Management Division to continue to implement this plan. The City of Hollywood coordinates with the Port Everglades Department on the issuance of building permits and development orders on Port improvements within the City of Hollywood limits of the Port Everglades Development District. This ensures that safety concerns are adequately addressed. 6. Airports and related facilities and services. Airports are an integral part of the County’s multi-modal transportation network. They provide access to local, state, national and international markets, and generate economic activity. Civil aviation activities can be subdivided into passenger air carrier, air cargo, and general aviation facilities. Broward County has advised that this portion of the element will be finalized when FLL and Port Everglades Master Plans are completed. Phase 1 of the FLL Master Plan was completed in January 2006 and Phase 2 is currently being done. a. _Airports and related facilities._ Broward County owns, operates, and has jurisdiction over the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). FLL is located to the west of Port Everglades adjacent to the City of Hollywood’s northern limits. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. FLL is a regional facility that serves international and domestic air carriers, and attracts passengers from Broward, north Miami-Dade and south/central Palm Beach counties. Broward County owns and operates the airport. It occupies a site of 1,718 acres in the southeastern part of the county, located south of I-595, some two miles west of the coastline. The airport’s land is primarily in unincorporated Broward County. The airport is accessible by roadway (from I-95 and I-595, Griffin Road and US Route 1), by Tri-Rail and by a Broward County BCT bus route. _Airfield._ The FLL airfield consists of three active runways and supporting taxiways and taxilanes, described in Table T-18. The primary air carrier runway, cross wind runway and supporting taxiways are designed to accommodate air carrier aircraft, whereas the south runway is a utility runway, designed for use by General Aviation and Commuter aircraft. | Description and Orientation | Runway | Length and Width | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Primary air carrier runway (east-west parallel) | 9L-27R | 9,000 feet X 150 feet | | Utility runway (east-west parallel) | 9R-27L | 5,276 feet X 100 feet | | Crosswind runway (northwest -southeast) | 13-31 | 6,928 feet X 150 feet | _Source: Broward County Aviation Department, 2006._ _Terminals and gates._ The existing terminal complex includes four (4) terminal building units, with six (6) concourses, divided into enplaning and deplaning levels. The terminals provide facilities to accommodate passengers and their baggage, including ticket counters, passenger waiting areas, baggage claim, baggage handling, concessions, customs and immigration, as well as airline operations space. Table T-19 shows floor space by square foot and gates in each terminal. Table T-19 Existing Terminal Complex at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport | Passenger Terminal Facilities | Square Feet | Gates | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Terminal 1 (concourse B and C) | 300,000 | 18 | | Terminal 2 (concourses ) | 235,000 | 9 | | Terminal 3 (concourse E & F) | 343,000 | 20 | | Terminal 4 Concourse H | 190,000 | 39 | | Total | 1,068,000 | 57 | Source: Broward County Aviation Department, 2006. In addition, commuter aircraft parking positions are located on the ramp east of Terminal 3. A 190,000 square foot hardstand, east of Concourse F, was completed in 1998 to provide temporary capacity for five aircraft parking positions, until new terminal facilities are completed. *Parking.* A parking garage complex provides 12,000 spaces connected to the terminal buildings. Additional spaces are provided in grade level parking. Free shuttle bus services connect these lots to the terminals. Valet parking service is also available. *Circulation.* The Terminal Complex encompasses separated one-way ramps leading to and from US1 and ramps from I-595. Entrance and exit provisions include two-lane routes designed to accommodate both northbound and southbound traffic. The inbound and outbound ramps are four lanes wide and are connected to a three-lane roadway serving the entire terminal area. This terminal access road leads to individual terminal curb-fronts and public parking facilities. In addition, Perimeter Road, a two-lane private road, circles the airport to provide traffic circulation for airport tenants outside of the terminal areas. *Air Cargo.* Existing facilities for air cargo activities cover 33.5 acres including buildings for air freight operations and warehousing. The two existing air cargo buildings, which total 27,750 square feet, are being replaced with a new 35,000 square foot structure. *Airport Support.* The operation of the airport is dependent on a number of services that can be classified as airport/airline support services; these include: navigation facilities, airfield maintenance areas, fuel farm, flight kitchens, employee parking rental car services, airfield rescue and fire fighting station, hangars and maintenance facilities. At FLL, some 94.5 acres are devoted to airport/airline support uses. City of Hollywood ⬥ Transportation Element T-30 January 2008 _Other General Aviation facilities._ Table T-20 displays other general aviation facilities located within the City of Hollywood, which may including heliports, helistops, and private airfields. Table T-20 General Aviation Facilities (not located at airports), Broward County | Type | Owner | Location | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Helistops | Memorial Regional Hospital | Hollywood | Source: Florida Department of Transportation records, 2006. b. _Airport services._ These include passenger air carrier services, air cargo services, and general aviation services. _Passenger Air Carrier Services._ FLL is considered an origin/destination airport and is classified as a medium hub airport by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Origin/destination passengers are those who begin or end their air trips at FLL, rather than taking round trip flights. In 2005, over 22 million air passengers arrived at and departed from the FLL. In 2005, FLL was ranked 24th among North American airports, based on the number of passengers. Currently, twenty scheduled airlines, four commuter airlines and nine charter operators provide service at FLL. Non-stop passenger service is provided to Europe, Canada, Bahamas, and Caribbean destinations, as well as over 30 municipalities in the U.S. FLL has experienced significant growth in recent years as shown by increases in aircraft operations and passenger enplanements. c. _Safety._ A runway protection zone (RPZ, formerly called clear zone) is any area located at the end of a runway to enhance the protection of adjacent land uses. Broward County has acquired the majority of the land within the six RPZs at FLL, as well as land in the approach and transition zones for Runway 27L. Much of this land was previously in private ownership and had been developed for residential and commercial uses that were not compatible with airport operations. Broward County Aviation Department conducts regular surveys for obstructions that affect the airspace in the approach surfaces at FLL, as defined by Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77. The Department is active in trimming and removing potential vegetation obstructions. Fixed objects, such as buildings, light poles, and cellular towers are marked with obstruction lights as required by the FAA. Broward County also has adopted an Airport Zoning Ordinance that provides for protection of airspace in unincorporated Broward County. Tall structures, such as cellular towers, buildings and cranes can penetrate the airspace surrounding an airport and affect the operations of the airport. This Ordinance enables the County to control tall structure construction in unincorporated areas that would impact aviation capacity around County-owned airports. Chapter 333 Florida Statutes governs airspace in municipalities where no airport zoning ordinance has been adopted. The policies incorporated herein addresses programs that will maintain and improve safety at FLL. 7. **Railway network.** The railway network facilities consist of railway lines, signals, and terminals. Railway network services are provided for freight and passenger movement. These facilities and services are discussed below. *a. Facilities.* Map M-8 illustrates that Broward County has two (2) north-south railway corridors that extend into Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. The Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad Company railway, which was constructed by Henry M. Flagler, began operations in Broward County in 1896. Currently, the FEC is used to transport freight, but not passengers. Throughout Broward County, the FEC railway corridor generally runs parallel to and east of Dixie Highway. The railway right-of-way corridor is approximately 100 feet wide throughout its length and is single-tracked. A 1.5 mile spur line serves Port Everglades and runs from the FEC north of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to the Port. The signal system and main dispatching center is located in Saint Augustine. All 349 miles of main line is under centralized traffic control. On the main line there are 25 passing sidings, 16 hotbox detectors and five (5) remote-control drawbridges, which have sirens and scoreboardlike countdown displays to warn pleasure boaters when a bridge will close. An example of a bridge with such a device is the bridge over the New River, just west of Andrews Avenue. The south end of the FEC operates out of Hialeah Yard, in Miami-Dade County. The Fort Lauderdale yard originates or terminates or both, four (4) scheduled trains on an average day. The FEC Railroad Company operates a trailer-on-flat-car (TOFC) and container-on-flat-car (COFC) rail facility, which is located at SW 33rd Street, west of Andrews Avenue. Port Everglades is served by an internal railroad network which is owned by the Port and maintained by the FEC Railroad Company. Rail service accesses Port Everglades along Eller Drive and then branches to several spurs just west of SE 14th Street. Cargo rail service is provided to Slips 1, 2 and 3, along Eller Drive, and along Spangler Boulevard. The State of Florida, through the FDOT, owns the South Florida Rail Corridor (SFRC), an 81 mile former CSX Transportation (CSXT) railway between Mangonia Park and Hialeah. Located parallel to and west of I-95, the SFRC right-of-way is approximately 100 feet wide throughout the County and is predominately single tracked. The SFRC is used to transport passengers and freight. Table T-21 shows the SFRC passenger terminals. A second track has been constructed from Pompano Beach at milepost (MP) 1003.53 to Broward Boulevard at milepost (MP) 1012.15 and construction continues to extend this second track throughout Broward County. SFRC maintenance and operations are accomplished through a contractual arrangement between CSXT and the FDOT. Broward County supports the double-tracking of the rail corridor through the policies incorporated herein, which addresses a convenient railway network. ### Table T-21 ### SFRC Passenger Terminal and Parking Data | Rail Station | Passenger Rail Provider | Parking Spaces | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Fort Lauderdale Airport | Tri-Rail | 30 | | Sheridan Street | Tri-Rail | 750 | | Hollywood Boulevard | Amtrak & Tri-Rail | 114 | | Total | 1 Amtrak/3Tri-Rail | 894 | **Source:** Transit Development Plan, Update, Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority, 2005. b. Services. The FEC Railroad Company, as its name implies, operates along Florida’s east coast, with its main line running from Jacksonville to Miami. The carrier’s 442 route miles are completely within the State and is the second largest railroad in Florida. FEC Railway. The FEC railway presently carries only freight. Major commodities handled include nonmetallic minerals (primarily crushed stone and phosphate rock) and various commodities moved in containers and trailers. The FEC railway connects to the SFRC railway in Pompano Beach. Between 20 and 25 daily trains are operated on weekdays, mostly at night. On weekends, approximately 10 daylight trains are operated. The City of Hollywood has agreed preliminarily to study the re-use of the FEC corridor, which runs along Dixie Highway/21st St., for passenger operations to spur redevelopment on adjacent properties. This study is being conducted under the auspices of the Florida Transit Feasibility Organization-East (FTFO-E). FTFO-E is a non-profit organization of South Florida transportation and urban planning professionals and researchers. The group is focused upon the potential for pubic transportation and redevelopment east of I-95. *South Florida Rail Corridor.* The SFRC is served by four (4) entities: CSXT, Amtrak, Tri-Rail, and First American Railways, Inc. As many as 12 freight and 36 passenger trains (commuter and intercity) operate within the SFRC daily. CSXT is a combination of the former Seaboard System and Chessie System. The CSXT operates approximately 19,000 route miles and serves 20 states, the District of Columbia and one Canadian province. As Florida’s largest railroad, it operates 1,752 route miles in Florida, covering virtually the entire State. In addition to the 1,621 miles it owns, it also operates over the SFRC and over the Georgia and Florida Railroad. Major Florida commodities handled are nonmetallic minerals (primarily crushed stone and phosphate rock), chemicals and allied products (primarily chemically treated phosphate rock), and coal. Amtrak, which began operations in 1971, continues to provide conventional intercity rail passenger service from the Hollywood Boulevard station. Presently, four (4) distinct services are provided. Three (3) conventional Amtrak trains are operated daily in either direction between Florida and the Northeast (Silver Meteor, Silver Star, and Silver Palm). Additionally, a fourth conventional passenger train (Sunset Limited) operates on a tri-weekly basis between Sanford, Florida and Los Angeles, California. In 1986, the Tri-County Commuter Rail Organization (Tri-Rail) was created by interlocal agreement to implement a commuter rail traversing Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties. Originally, it was conceived as a temporary way to reduce traffic congestion along the I-95 corridor during the I-95 construction period. In 1989, the Florida Legislature created the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority (TCRA) to provide railway service along the corridor. The TCRA Board is comprised of three (3) elected officials and four (4) citizen appointees from the three counties, one citizen appointee of the Governor, and an FDOT District Secretary. On July 1, 2003, legislation passed by the Florida Senate and House of Representatives and signed by Governor Jeb Bush, transformed the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority (Tri-Rail) into the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA.) The new Authority was created with a vision to provide greater mobility in South Florida, thereby improving the economic viability and quality of life of the community, region and state. The SFRTA's mission is to coordinate, develop and implement a viable regional transportation system in South Florida that endeavors to meet the desires and needs for the movement of people, goods and services. SFRTA operates a seventy-two (72) mile commuter rail system (Tri-Rail), as well as the shuttle bus system. The SFRTA covers three Counties, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade, along the southeastern coast of Florida. The system consists of eighteen (18) stations between Mangonia Park north of West Palm Beach to Miami International airport in the south. There are two Tri-Rail stations located in the City of Hollywood at Sheridan Street and Hollywood Boulevard. The rail right-of-way lies immediately adjacent to I-95, in the City of Hollywood. The line, which was originally single track with extensive sidings, was recently double tracked under a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The Double Track Corridor Improvement Program called for reconstruction along 72 miles of the South Florida Rail Corridor and a second mainline track parallel to the existing track. The program was subdivided into five segments. SFRTA's service is provided by a fleet of 12 diesel-electric locomotives, 11 bi-level cab cars and 15 bi-level coaches. The standard train operates in a push-pull configuration, with a diesel locomotive on the south end, two coach cars and a cab car. Locomotive controls are located in the cab car allowing the locomotive to push the train in the northward direction. The average running speed is 39 miles per hour and station spacing ranges from 1.2 to 7.6 miles. The trains operate on a weekday clock-face schedule, meaning that trains arrive at a station at the same time each hour and some 20 and 30 minutes service between the hourly times. With the completion of the New River Bridge, Tri-Rail currently operates 50 trains on weekdays and 16 trains on weekends and holidays. Additional trains are occasionally provided for special events. Operation of the trains and maintenance of the trains are accomplished by the SFRTA through a contracted services arrangement. Under the Operating and Management Agreement – Phase A between CSXT and FDOT, CSXT provides maintenance of the track, bridges, buildings, signal system and dispatches all trains using the line, including CSXT’s own freight trains and long distance Amtrak trains. Contracts with private vendors cover train station maintenance and security services. Ticket sales are provided by SFRTA employees as ticket agents and ticket vending machines which are maintained by SFRTA. SFRTA provides marketing, advertising and customer information services. The SFRTA’s administrative office is located at 800 N.W. 33rd Street, Suite 100, Pompano Beach, FL 33064. Despite the construction on the SFRTA tracks, ridership has grown by over 25% in Broward County during the last five years. Table T-22 shows the five-year increase in boarding’s. Table T-22 Growth in Boarding’s | County | 2000 Daily Boardings | 2004 Daily Boardings | % Growth | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Broward | 2,468 | 3,107 | 25.9% | Source: South Florida Regional Transportation Authority Transit Development Plan, FY 2006-2010, Table 1, South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, (2006). c. **Safety.** Several high-profile rail-related incidences have brought rail safety to the forefront of public attention. The National Safety Council indicates rail passenger travel remains the safest means of surface transportation as evidenced by an accident-death rate of 0.04/100,000,000 passenger miles (33 times safer than travel by the automobile). Rail safety is primarily at issue when a roadway has an at-grade crossing with a railway. Strategies used to mitigate at-grade crossing incidences include enhancing crossing warning devices, closing unnecessary crossings, requiring all new crossings to be grade separated, and public education efforts. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has undertaken several national initiatives with the goal of reducing at-grade crossing crashes and fatalities by 50 percent by the year 2000. One of these initiatives is to reduce the number of at-grade crossings by 25 percent nationwide through grade separation or crossing closure. Existing at-grade crossings are unavoidable in the densely populated SFRC because of the urban setting and prohibitive costs of grade separation. FDOT plans to provide maximum crossing protection in the corridor using four-quadrant gate systems or median separators. These two treatment types are designed to prevent vehicles from going around the crossing gates and intruding in the crossing area. The possibility of auto-train collisions should be drastically reduced with these precautions, thus allowing for increased train speeds through the corridor while reducing risk to passengers. The implementation of a radio system to link event recorders at each signalized grade crossing and track control point with the CSXT Control Center in Jacksonville has been added to the Six-Year Plan. These links will facilitate a quicker response time for signal repairs in the event of a malfunction, which will enhance the critical operating capacity of the entire system, increase driver confidence in existing signal systems, and help to maximize the safety potential of the signal systems currently employed along the entire SFRC. To address future crossings, FDOT now requires that all new SFRC crossings be grade separated. Outside of the SFRC, FDOT supports the federal initiative to reduce the number of at-grade crossings by opposing new crossings through the Florida Administrative Rule process. Further, FDOT, through its active participation in public awareness programs, strives to educate the motoring public of the dangers associated with rail-highway crossings. FDOT also has initiated a Rail-Highway Crossing Corridor Safety Improvement Program to enhance crossing warning devices and to close unnecessary crossings on key rail corridors. Statewide, 230 crossings were targeted for improved warning devices and 68 crossings were identified for closure. Broward County has little jurisdiction over railroad operations. However, policies support FDOT's implementation of various safety related programs, such as the expedited implementation of the enhanced crossing warning device program, the closure of unnecessary at-grade crossings, the requirement that new crossings be grade separated, and public education and awareness programs. 8. **Intermodal terminals and access and connections to intermodal facilities.** An intermodal facility is a facility designed to relate to two or more modes of transportation using single or closely related transportation facility and service. The FDOT's Corridor Management Procedure defines a intermodal facility as the provision of connections between different transportation modes, such as adequate highways to ports or bus feeder services to rail transit, individual modes working together to provide the user with the best choices of services. For purposes of the Transportation Element, intermodal facilities are categorized as either freight facilities or passenger facilities. a. **Facilities.** Intermodal facilities includes intermodal facilities of state significance, terminals, connections, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, and park-and-ride facilities. *Intermodal facilities of State significance.* The FDOT has established an Intermodal System of Statewide Significance. Intermodal Facilities of Statewide Significance are eligible for the annual Florida Intermodal Program Development Program - Discretionary Funding in accordance with Section 341.053, Florida Statutes. Table T-23 identifies the intermodal facilities of state significance in Broward County by type and primary mode. **Table T-23** **Intermodal Facilities of State Significance** | Intermodal Facility | Type | Primary Mode | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport | Freight and Passenger | Airport | | Port Everglades | Freight and Passenger | Seaport | | CSX Transportation | Freight | Rail | | Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) | Freight | Rail | | Tri-Rail Service | Passenger | Rail | | Amtrak | Passenger | Rail | | Broward County Division of Mass Transit | Passenger | Bus | | Greyhound | Passenger | Bus | | Goal Coast Commuter Services | Passenger | Car | Source: Broward County Planning Services Division, 2006. *Terminals.* Freight intermodal terminals include TOFC (trailer on flat car) and COFC (container on flat car) facilities, bulk facilities, and team track facilities. Passenger intermodal facilities include the Tri-Rail and Amtrak terminals. The Sheridan Street Terminal is the City of Hollywood’s only intermodal passenger terminal. It is served both by feeder bus service and fixed route bus service. The Sheridan Street passenger terminal is served by Route 12, which connects the West Regional Bus Terminal in the City of Plantation to Westlake Park, a regional County park located in the City of Hollywood. The primary traveled roadways on Route 12 are Sheridan Street, Davie Road extension, and University Drive. The FEC Railroad Company operates a TOFC/COFC intermodal rail facility, which is located approximately 1.5 miles west of the Port Jurisdictional Area. This intermodal rail terminal facilitates the transfer of cargo containers and trailers between the rail network and the road (i.e., trailers hitched to truck) and waterway networks (i.e., container cargo and trailers are transferred by tractors between the FEC and Port Everglades’ cargo ships). Another form of intermodal terminal used by the railroads is the bulk transfer facility. These facilities permit the transfer of bulk materials between railcars and trucks for those businesses which do not have direct rail service. There are 15 bulk transfer facilities located throughout Florida. Broward County's bulk transfer facility is located in the industrial area just south of the Broward Boulevard Tri-Rail station. Intermodal passenger terminals in the City of Hollywood include two (2) of the seven (7) Tri-Rail stations. These are the Fort Lauderdale Airport and Sheridan Street Terminals. The Fort Lauderdale Airport and Sheridan Street passenger terminals are served both by feeder bus service and fixed route bus service. The Fort Lauderdale Airport passenger terminal is served by Route 1, which travels along Federal Highway (US 1) and connects the Aventura Mall in Miami-Dade County to the Broward Central Bus Terminal. Of the seven (7) Tri-Rail passenger terminals, only the Hollywood Boulevard terminal, located in the City of Hollywood, does not qualify as an intermodal facility. This is because neither feeder nor fixed bus routes directly service the passenger terminal; instead, service is provided through a bus stop on Hollywood Boulevard. Connections. Connections refer to the access or link between transportation nodes, such as between an airport and a seaport. It is the efficiency and effectiveness of this linkage that determines the quality of intermodal transportation. The ease of interconnections between modes can have a significant impact upon the economy of a company, industry, state, region, and nation. The benefits of intermodal connections include lowered transportation costs, increased economic productivity and efficiency, reduced congestion, increased return from private and public infrastructure investments, improved mobility, and reduced energy consumption. Intermodal connections can include facilities, such as roadways, railways and waterways, or services, such as bus and taxi services. These facilities and services can be further classified as freight or passenger. This section addresses both connection facilities and connection services. 1. *Connections facilities.* This subsection focuses on the connections to and from the County's major transportation hubs, that is, Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International Airport. The connections addressed include the roadway, railway, and waterway network. Port Everglades has four connections to the roadway network. The primary connection is I-595, which terminates at the PJA and connects with Eller Drive, a local 2-lane internal roadway. The intersections of Spangler Drive at US 1 and Eisenhower Boulevard at the SE 17th Street Causeway provide additional connections to the roadway network. The final connection is via an exit along the northbound lane of US1, just south of the US1/I-595 interchange. These roadways provide Port Everglades with intermodal connections for both freight and passengers. Port Everglades is connected to the railway network through a 1.5 mile FEC Railroad Company spur line that runs from the Port and along the north side of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Parsec's TOFC and COFC intermodal rail facility. This spur line, however, provides connection only for freight. Port Everglades’s connection to the waterway is through the ocean entrance channel. The distance from the ocean entrance of the channel to the main turning basin is approximately 1.2 nautical miles, which allows ships to dock within a one hour travel time from the ocean. Port Everglades’s freight terminals are available at Northport, Midport, and Southport. The Northport freight terminal serves break bulk cargo. Midport contains the Port’s liquid bulk (petroleum), dry bulk (cement), break bulk, and container terminals. The Midport container terminal is served by two container cranes: a Kon Oy gantry crane with a rated capacity of 30 long tons, and a Paceco gantry crane with a 50 ton capacity. Southport is Port Everglades primary container terminal. It is served by three (3) Samsung post-Panamax, 40-long ton, low-profile shuttle boom cranes and three (3) berth Ro/Ro terminals. Berth 33A serves both Ro/Ro and Lo/Lo cargo. Port Everglades’s passenger terminals are available at Northport and Midport. The Northport passenger terminal serves two daily cruise lines, Discovery and Seascape, and one multi-day cruise line, Princess. Midport provides cruise ship terminals for weekly cruise lines. The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has four connections to the roadway network. Those connections are discussed under airports and related facilities and services. The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has no connection facilities to the waterways or Port Everglades. A Major Investment Study (MIS) funded by FDOT is currently underway to develop alternatives for an intermodal passenger connection between the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades. Five major alternatives are being considered: 1) Transportation system management, including universal bag handling; 2) Roadway improvement including egress and ingress modifications between Eller Drive and US 1; 3) Terminal improvements both at the Airport and Port Everglades; 4) Busway operating as a shuttle service; and 5) Automated people mover. 2. _Connection services._ Port Everglades’ connection service includes tractors that transfer cargo containers and trailers from the Port to Parsec’s TOFC/COFC intermodal freight facility. The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is connected to the Tri-Rail Airport passenger terminal through a shuttle service and to Port Everglades through private buses provided by cruise lines to transport cruise passengers between the Airport and Port Everglades. 3. _High occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities._ HOV facilities are designated for exclusive use by specified HOV vehicles (minimum 2 passengers per vehicle) and all other vehicles are expressly prohibited. The purposes of HOV lanes are to make the most of person-moving capabilities along a corridor and to provide sufficient capacity to meet future transportation demands. One way this can be accomplished is by increasing the occupancy of the vehicles traveling on the corridor. Preferential treatment for high occupancy vehicles (HOVs) is intended to encourage the driving public to change from low to high occupancy vehicles. These high occupancy vehicles include buses, vanpools, carpools, and special vehicles for the handicapped. Multimodal interchange facilities, such as park-and-ride or ride-sharing lots, will also facilitate this mode shift. The City of Hollywood’s HOV lanes extend approximately from the Pembroke Road Interchange to Stirling Road on I-95. Presently, the restricted hours for the HOV lanes are from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday. 4. _Park-and-ride lots._ As its name implies, a park-and-ride facility provides parking spaces for motorists in the middle of their journey. The motorists ride public transportation or carpool to work from the park-and-ride facility. Park-and-ride facilities have been built to encourage carpooling and the use of express bus service. The park-and-ride lot located at Sheridan Street and I-95 has a capacity of 794 spaces. It has been used mostly by Tri-Rail riders rather than by the originally conceived users, the carpoolers. 5. _Intermodal services._ Intermodal services include passenger and cargo services. 6. _Safety._ A safety issue has been raised with the use of HOV facilities. Many single-occupancy drivers are illegally using the HOV lanes during the rush or peak hours. When a law enforcement officer is spotted, the illegal HOV user begins to merge into a non-HOV lane, and on occasion, causes an accident. No data is available, however, on the extent of this problem. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with Broward County on this issue. Currently FDOT is developing the I-95 “Hot Lanes Project” B. **Transportation level of service (LOS) standards.** The City of Hollywood utilizes the Broward County Transit Oriented Concurrency for state and county funded facilities and the Concurrency Management System (CMS) implemented by the Broward County Development Management Division for city maintained roadways. The City of Hollywood will follow by reference Broward County’s Transit Oriented Concurrency. Broward County has ten concurrency Districts. According to the County a Transit Oriented Concurrency District shall be a compact geographic area within an existing network of roads where multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes available for common trips. An area wide level of service standard shall be established for each such District, for the purpose of issuing development orders and permits, based on the quality of transit services. The following subsection will also explain LOS standards identified in Chapter 14-94 F.A.C. for SIS, FIHS and TRIP funded facilities. The City of Hollywood falls within three Concurrency Districts the Majority of which falls within the Southeast District. A small portion falls within the South Central District and the Airport/Port is its own district. Map M-6A shows the district boundaries. _Port/Airport District_ - This District, comprised of Port Everglades and the Ft. Lauderdale /Hollywood International Airport, was separated out from adjacent areas due to (1) the distinctive land uses inside the District; (2) the high degree of public property within the District; and (3) the likely unique nature of transportation measures to be implemented within the District. It was felt that properties outside of this District should not be assessed for transit improvements which would primarily benefit the Port and/or Airport. Transit-related strategies being studied in this District include: express and/or premium bus service; shuttle service from Tri-Rail; off-site parking with shuttle service for employees (already existing at the Airport); and direct service between the Port and Airport for cargo and/or passengers. *Southeast District* - The boundary of this District is the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the County line to the south, the Turnpike to the west, and I-595 and the Airport/Seaport to the north. The western boundary was the subject of some debate, because it splits small portions of several municipalities away from the balance (Miramar, Hollywood and Davie). It was maintained, however, due to several factors: (1) the Turnpike serves as a physical barrier, influencing both land use and travel patterns; (2) the MPO has designated State Road 7 as a future major transit corridor connecting to Miami-Dade County, and therefore State Road 7 should not be a boundary; and there is no other reasonable boundary that would avoid splitting several municipalities. The major transportation corridor within this District is Interstate 95 and the adjacent Tri-Rail line. Heavily used transit corridors include U.S. 1 and State Road 7. Although transit coverage in the District is 78%, half of the mainline routes have headways exceeding thirty minutes. The District has a low level of community bus service, compared to other areas of the County. Among planners in the District, priorities for transit enhancement included increased coverage, increased frequency, improving the quality of bus stops, and decreasing the travel time on buses. *South Central District* - The boundary of this District is the Turnpike to the east; the County line to the south; and I-595 to the north. On the west the boundary was drawn based on the desires of the affected municipalities, as to which areas would participate in Transit Oriented Concurrency and which areas would remain with Standard Concurrency. The western boundary of the South Central District runs on Nob Hill Road, from I-595 to Griffin Road; goes west on Griffin Road to Flamingo Road; runs south on Flamingo Road to Sheridan Street; goes west on Sheridan Street to I-75, then runs south on I-75 to the County line. North of Sheridan Street, this boundary generally separates areas of medium density and low density. South of Sheridan Street, it generally separates areas fully developed from areas still under development. There is not one dominant transportation corridor within this District. Many of the bus routes nearly average 35 passengers per hour. Of the nine mainline routes that currently serve the District, only three have a weekday service frequency of 30 minutes or better. Therefore, the coverage area of 63%, including several community bus routes, may be misleading. Planned roadway improvements and other services and programs such as, transportation system management (TSM), transportation demand management (TDM) strategies, and incentives to use public transit (such as parking policies and provision of intermodal transfers), accomplish mobility within and through each concurrency management area. For the purpose of issuing development orders and permits within Broward County transit oriented concurrency districts, the transportation LOS standards were developed to achieve and maintain the following goals by FY 2009: Port/Airport District * Establish at least one additional community bus route. South Central District * Achieve headways of 30 minutes or less on 60% of routes. * Establish at least one neighborhood transit center. * Establish at least one additional community bus route. * Expand coverage area to 48 percent. 1. For facilities within the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS), the LOS standard shall be as established by FDOT under Rule 14.94003. The LOS standards described below by incorporating these by reference into the Transportation Element Objectives and Policies. 1. **Local Roadway LOS standards.** Roadway level of service standards have long been used in systems planning and traffic operations. The roadway level of service (LOS) standard is a qualitative assessment of the road user’s perception of the quality of flow of traffic. The LOS standard is represented by letters “A” through “F,” with “A” representing the most favorable conditions and “F” representing the least favorable. The LOS is measured by dividing the number of vehicle trips (i.e., volume) on the facility by the capacity of that facility. a. Florida Intrastate Highway System/SIS and Trip Funded Facilities. Rule 9J-5.0055(2)(c), FAC, requires local governments to adopt the LOS standards established by the Florida Department of Transportation by rule 14.94003 for facilities on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS). Pursuant to Rule 14-94.003 for Statewide Minimum Level of Service Standards, (1) The Statewide Minimum LOS Standards are as follows: # Table T-24a ## Statewide Minimum Level of Service Standards | STATEWIDE MINIMUM LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS FOR THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM, ROADWAYS ON THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM (SIS), ROADWAYS ON THE FLORIDA INTRASTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM (FIHS) AND ROADWAY FACILITIES FUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 339.2819, FLORIDA STATUTES, THE TRANSPORTATION REGIONAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM (TRIP) | | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | **SIS AND FIHS FACILITIES** | **TRIP FUNDED FACILITIES AND OTHER STATE ROADS[^p164-3]** | | | | | **Limited Access Highway[^p164-4] (Freeway)** | **Controlled Access Highway[^p164-4]** | **Other Multilane[^p164-4]** | **Two-Lane[^p164-4]** | | Rural Areas | B | B1 | B | C | | Transitioning Urbanized Areas, Urban Areas, or Communities | C | C | C | C | | Urbanized Areas Under 500,000 | C(D) | C | D | D | | Urbanized Areas Over 500,000 | D(E) | D | D | D | | Roadways Parallel to Exclusive Transit Facilities | E | E | E | E | | Inside TCMAs | D(E)[^p164-2] | E[^p164-2] | --[^p164-2] | --[^p164-2] | | Inside TCEAs[^p164-2] and MMTDs[^p164-2] | --[^p164-2] | --[^p164-2] | --[^p164-2] | --[^p164-2] | Level of service standards inside of parentheses apply to general use lanes only when exclusive through lanes exist. 1. For rural two-lane facilities, the standard is C. 2. Means the Department must be consulted as provided by Section 163.3180(5), (7), or (15), Florida Statutes, regarding level of service standards set on SIS or TRIP facilities impacted by TCMAs, MMTDs, or TCEAs respectively. 3. Means the level of service standards for non TRIP facilities may be set by local governments in accordance with Rule 9J-5.0055, F.A.C. 4. It is recognized that certain roadways (i.e., constrained roadways) will not be expanded by the addition of through lanes for physical, environmental, or policy reasons. In such instances, a variance to the level of service may be sought pursuant to Section 120.542, Florida Statutes. NOTE: Level of service letter designations are defined in the Department’s 2002 Quality/Level of Service Handbook. (2) Specific assumptions and restrictions that apply to these minimum LOS standards are: (a) The minimum LOS standards represent the lowest acceptable operating conditions in the peak hour. (b) Definitions and measurement criteria used for the minimum LOS standards can be found in the Transportation Research Board’s *Highway Capacity Manual* Special Report 2000. (c) When calculating or evaluating level of service pursuant to this rule, all calculations and evaluations shall be based on the methodology contained in Transportation Research Board’s *Highway Capacity Manual* Special Report 2000, the Department’s 2002 *Quality/Level of Service Handbook*, or a methodology determined by the Department to be of comparable reliability. Any methodology superseded by the *Highway Capacity Manual* 2000, such as a methodology based on the 1997 *Highway Capacity Manual* or *Circular 212*, shall not be used. (3) Minimum LOS Standards for SIS Connectors and TRIP Funded Facilities are: (a) Minimum LOS Standards for SIS Highways. 1. Limited access SIS highways shall adhere to the limited access FIHS LOS standards. 2. Controlled access SIS highways shall adhere to the controlled access FIHS LOS standards. 3. These standards shall apply regardless whether the facility is FIHS, SHS, or under other jurisdiction. (b) Minimum LOS Standards for SIS Connectors.

Table T-24b provides the generalized two-way peak hour volumes for FIHS roadways. It is based on statewide minimum level of service standards for urbanized areas with population over 500,000.

The City of Hollywood utilizes the generalized two-way peak hour volumes for Florida’s Urbanized Areas at the LOS “D” standard adopted by Broward County in the 1997 Comprehensive Plan, Volume 4. as shown in Table T-25. In the 1989 Traffic Circulation Element, the roadway LOS “D” standard was measured by the average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes; however, state law now requires the LOS standard be measured by peak-hour volumes. The City of Hollywood will continue to use the LOS “D” standard as the roadway concurrency standard. The two-way peak hour LOS “D” standard volumes are calculated by multiplying the AADT volumes by the statewide average of 0.093. This average is also the Planning Analysis Hour Factor or K factor (K$_{100}$). According to the FDOT Level of Service Manual, it is “the 100th highest demand volume hour of the year for a roadway section” or “the ratio of the 100th highest volume hour of the year to the annual average daily traffic.” Broward County is using the two-way peak hour volumes instead of the directional peak hour volumes because the FDOT also uses two-way peak hour volumes.

Accessibility is addressed through the concept of functional area coverage, which is defined as a 2 mile corridor surrounding a bus route, 3 mile in each direction. Under the 1989 Mass Transit Element, functional area coverage was measured on a daily basis. Consistent with state law, which requires use of the peak-hour, the public transit LOS standard is 70 percent functional area coverage for residences and employment. Policy 3.4.2 addresses transportation land use coordination - concurrency for public transit. 3. **Level of Service Analysis.** Several roadways identified in the Broward County Roadway and Capacity Analysis for 2005 and 2030 have identified several existing failing and projected failing segments, located in Appendix A. Tables T-26 and T-27 identify failing links for 2005 and 2030.

The CMS provides a development order or permit shall be issued when a local roadway exceeds its adopted LOS standard. D. **Data and Analysis for Transit Oriented Concurrency.** *Conditions to Satisfy Concurrency Requirements.* All development permits in the City of Hollywood must satisfy Broward County Transportation requirements. *Transit Concurrency Assessment.* The Transit Concurrency Assessment is calculated as the total peak-hour trip generation of the proposed development, multiplied by a constant (for each year) dollar figure for each District that represents the cost per trip of all the Transit Development Plan enhancements in that District. The County Commission may adopt land development regulations which enable exemption from the assessment calculation of high-cost transit projects, such as fixed-guideway facilities. The assessment amount for each District is to be calculated using the following formula: **Assessment: Project Trip x Trip Length x District TDP Cost ÷ 1.31 ÷ 2.** **Generation Factor District TDP Trips** *Waivers.* The Broward County Commission may adopt land development regulations which provide for a waiver of the Transit Concurrency Assessment for affordable housing projects, and for applications by a government agency for the construction of public buildings which will directly serve the health and/or safety needs of the public, provided that all such waived Assessments are paid from a designated source. Any local government may adopt land development regulations which provide for a waiver of the Transit Concurrency Assessment for a class of development on property within that municipality, provided that all such waived Assessments are paid to Broward County by the municipality, or by a source designated by the municipality. *Assessment Revenues.* The revenues from the Transit Concurrency Assessments shall be used solely to fund the enhancements within the Transit Development Program which are in the District corresponding to the location of the proposed development. However, the Broward County Commission may adopt land development regulations which set aside up to five percent of such revenues for the following purposes: 1. to serve as the designated funding source for waivers granted under Policy 3.4.9.; and/or 2. to fund costs of administering the concurrency management system and developing the TDP. Data & Analysis: A. Roadway Level of Service Data from the Broward County TRIPS model was obtained in September, 2002 regarding the volume-to-capacity ratio of all roadway segments in the model network. The data consisted of year 2000 p.m. peak hour traffic volumes (from counts), and peak hour capacities based on level of service D. The resulting volume/capacity (v/c) data showed that a number of roadway segments in the City of Hollywood have an existing v/c exceeding 1.5, but except for one expressway segment and one ramp segment, these are all two lane roadways. These segments included portions of the following roads: Eisenhower Boulevard (in Port Everglades) and Johnson Street. Looking at roadway segments within the City of Hollywood exceeding a v/c ratio of 1.3, and having more than two lanes, excluding expressways, resulted in the following short list: * U.S. 1, south of Griffin Road Using the same criteria, but with a v/c ratio of 1.25, resulted in no additional segments in the City of Hollywood. However, U.S. 1, north of Dania Beach Boulevard which is adjacent to the south side of the airport did show up. Finally, reducing the v/c criteria to 1.20, resulted in the following additional segments: * Hollywood Boulevard, east of I-95 E. Transportation and Population Characteristics. Rule 9J-5.019, FAC, requires the following: 1. Auto availability and vehicle occupancy rates. The 2000 U.S. Census identified automobile availability by tabulating the number of households with zero, one, two, and three or more vehicles. Table T-29 shows auto availability for Broward County and Florida. The U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2004 American Community Survey, Table B25044, shows Broward County has an automobile availability rate of 1.6 automobiles per household. The Broward County’s Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS), Travel Forecast Estimate also reports that in 2000, the Broward County average daily vehicle occupancy rate is 1.35 persons per vehicle. ### Table T-29 ### Vehicles Available for Occupied Housing Units (2004) | Jurisdiction | 0 Vehicles | 1 Vehicle. | 2 Vehicles. | 3 or More Vehicles | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Broward County | 7.5% | 42.5% | 38.5% | 11.5% | | Florida | 6.5% | 40.3% | 39.7% | 13.5% | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2004 American Community Survey, Table B25044. 2. **Transportation disadvantaged.** Transportation disadvantaged persons are individuals who because of physical or mental disability, income status, or age are unable to transport themselves to or purchase transportation and are, therefore dependent upon others to obtain access to health care, employment, education, shopping, social activities, or other life-sustaining activities. This segment of the population includes persons age 65 or older, persons aged 14 or younger, and the seasonal population. Table T-30 presents the extent of such populations in Broward County. ### Table T-30 ### Broward County Population Characteristics | Category | Measure | | :--- | :--- | | Population Age 65 and Above | 241,396 (1) | | Population Age 14 and Above | 359,233 (1) | | Seasonal Population | 88,766 (2) | | Potential Public Transit Population | 689,395 | | Per Capita Personal Income (2003) | $25,165 (3) | Sources: 2004 (1) American Community Survey, Table B01001; (2) Planning Services Division; (3) 2004 American Community Survey, Table B19391. 3. **Modal split.** Modal split is the proportion of total person trips that use each of various specified modes of transportation. Table T-31 shows public transit modal split has increased from 1.2 percent in 2000 to 1.64 percent in 2005, an increase of 0.026 annually. Projecting the annual increase to the year 2030 would result in a 3.14 public transit modal split. ### Table T-31 ### Estimated Public Transit Modal Split ### 2000 - 2005, and 2030 | Year | Population (million) | Transit daily Ridership (unlinked trips) | Total daily trips | Transit Market Share | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2000 | 1.6 | 86,523 | 6,816,107 | 1.27% | | 2001 | 1.65 | 98,940 | 7,029,110 | 1.41% | | 2002 | 1.68 | 105,938 | 7,156,912 | 1.48% | | 2003 | 1.71 | 113,004 | 7,284,714 | 1.55% | | 2004 | 1.74 | 119,729 | 7,412,516 | 1.62% | | 2005 | 1.77 | 123,511 | 7,540,318 | 1.64% | | 2030 | 2.33 | 319,184 | 10,149,991 | 3.14% | Source: Broward County Transportation Planning Division, Planning Services Division, and Mass Transit Division The U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2004 American Community Survey, reports that trips to work by bicycle constitute only 0.5 percent (4,369 of 810,697) of the home-based work trips made in Broward County daily. The City of Hollywood will encourage a greater modal split between automobile travel versus public transit, bicycle/pedestrian, etc. This will be accomplished by incorporating design standards and incentives in the Land Development Code to encourage developers to provide facilities that support these modes, e.g., bicycle locker, showers, improved transit shelters, etc. **F. Environmental Issues.** The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Air Resource Management Division, Air Quality Index for years 2001-2003 show the number of maximum daily 8-hour ozone values within the designated air quality index category. The Air Quality Index reports daily air quality associated with health effects that might be of concern. It takes all the monitored pollutants and relates them to a single scale value to communicate air quality. The 2001-2003 air quality monitoring report indicates the Fort Lauderdale area had 1,074 “Good” days and 18 “Moderate”. Table T-32 Broward County Air Quality Index (AQI) for Ozone Over the Preceding Three-Year Period (2001 - 2003) | AQI Descriptor | Color Code | No. of Days[^p175-1] | Percent | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Good | Green | 1074 | 98.1 | | Moderate | Yellow | 18 | 1.6 | | Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups | Orange | 3 | 0.3 | | Generally Unhealthy | Red | 0 | 0.0 | | Very Unhealthy | Purple | 0 | 0.0 | | | | 1095 | | [^p175-1]: Total number of days may not equal 1095 (3x365) due to incomplete data. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) previously designated Broward County as a moderate ozone non-attainment area. As of June 2005, the State of Florida was designated in by the National Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). ### III. ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS Rule 9J-5.019(3), F.A.C. provides the Transportation Element (TE) be based upon the following analysis: land use and transportation system interaction; existing and projected transportation system level of service and system needs, including existing and projected intermodal needs; maintaining the adopted transportation level of service standards; consistency between the future land use and transportation elements, and consistency with other transportation plans; and promotion and support of public transportation system in designated public transportation corridors. A. **Land use and transportation system interactions.** This section is intended to implement various Rule 9J-5, FAC, analysis requirements. Subsection 1 addresses growth trends and travel patterns associated with the transportation system (i.e., the roadway and public transit networks) and is intended to fulfill the requirements of 9J-5.019(3)(d), FAC. Subsection 2 focuses on the adequacy of the transportation system for evacuation consistent with the requirements of Rule 9J-5.019(3)(c), FAC. Subsection 3 looks at the availability of the transportation system to serve existing land uses as required by Rule 9J-5.019(3)(b), FAC. Subsection 4 addresses land use compatibility around airports consistent with Rule 9J-5.019(3)(d), FAC. 1. **Growth trends and travel patterns.** No single force has had a greater impact on the pattern of land development in American cities in this century than roadways (See, The Transportation/Land Use Connection, Moore and Thorsnes, 1994). Better roadways decreased the cost (both time and money) of transportation within and between urban areas. City of Hollywood Transportation Element T-56 January 2008 Broward County’s historic growth and development are primarily linked to the construction of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and Flagler’s railroad. These improvements allowed the movement of freight and passengers to and from Broward County. The subsequent construction of US 1 and then I-95 through Broward County provided it with roadway access and the construction of Fort Lauderdale International Airport provided access by air. These transportation facilities are all located within 4 miles of the coast. The construction of the Central and South Florida Project, which provided drainage for much of Broward County’s western developable area, made it available for development. This area remained relatively undeveloped until three (3) transportation facilities were constructed in the early 1980's and 1990's: the Sawgrass Expressway, I-595 and I-75. The Sawgrass Expressway, which generally borders the Water Conservation Area levee, provided access to the westernmost portions of the municipalities of Parkland, Coral Springs, Tamarac and Sunrise. I-595, the major east-west expressway in south-central Broward County, provided ready access to the municipalities of Plantation and Davie. I-75, the westernmost expressway in southwest Broward County, provided easy access to the municipalities of Weston, Davie, Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines, and Miramar. Table T-33 documents the change in population for the selected municipalities from 1990 to 2004. ### Table T-33 ### Broward County and Hollywood ### Population Changes from 1980-2006 | | 1980 | 1990 | 2000 | 2006 | % Growth 1980-1990 (per year) | % Growth 1990-2000 (per year) | % Growth 2000-2006 (per year) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Broward County | 1,018,257 | 1,255,531 | 1,623,016 | 1,787,636 | 2.1% | 2.6% | 1.6% | | Hollywood | 121,323 | 121,720 | 139,799 | 145,794 | 0.03% | 1.4% | 0.7% | Sources: U.S. Bureau of the Census, South Florida Regional Planning Council, “A Regional Profile,” 1993. Travel patterns can be documented through origin-destination studies. In December 1996, the Broward Travel Characteristics Study was completed for the FDOT.

Keller, Inc. (Dec. 1996). 2. **Availability of transportation facilities and services to serve existing land use.** Availability, as used here, refers to the extent to which the transportation system provides access to serve existing land uses. Access to serve existing land uses requires an extensive network of connections. Roadways, public transit, bikeways, and pedestrianways are transportation modes that require an extensive network of connections in order to serve existing uses. Some transportation modes, such as waterways, railways and the recreational traffic network, have limited connections and do not serve the primary function of serving or providing access to existing land uses. Still other transportation modes, such as airports and related facilities and intermodal facilities, are in essence transportation hubs serving regions. Consequently, this section addresses availability of the roadway, public transit, bikeways, and pedestrianways networks to serve existing land use. *a.* *Roadway network.* Availability of the roadway network to service existing land uses is primarily a function of the existing local roadway system. New development is assured access by the City of Hollywood Land Development Code which requires that development have adequate access to roadways. Collector and arterial roadways, as a secondary or tertiary function, oftentimes provide access to existing land uses. This occurred prior to the implementation of access management standards. The City of Hollywood is now coordinating with the Florida Department of Transportation to ensure access management standards are incorporated into the Land Development Code for state roadways. Where feasible, similar access management standards will be applied to the local roadway system. b. *Public transit network.* Availability of public transit to service existing land uses is based on the functional area coverage of the existing fixed-route bus network. Functional area coverage is defined as a ½ mile corridor surrounding a bus route, ¼ mile in each direction. The ¼ mile radius is based upon studies showing a person would walk up to ¼ mile to access the public transit network. As stated earlier, Broward County employs functional area coverage as the public transit LOS standard. The City of Hollywood has 72.1% of its total land area of 20.4 out of 28.82 acres) within the ¼ mile fixed route transit buffer. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that BCT, as an operator of a fixed-route bus system, offer complementary service to persons with disabilities who are unable to use the fixed-route system. A complementary paratransit service should operate at the level of service comparable to what is provided to persons without disabilities who use the fixed-route system. Since 1996, Broward County Transit has been in full compliance with the six (6) service criteria established by the ADA. BCT continues to meet or exceed service requirements mandated in the ADA legislation. Efforts to coordinate service delivery with Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties are ongoing in order to meet growing demand of inter-county trips. c. *Bikeways network.* Availability of the bikeways network to serve existing land uses can be defined by the functional area coverage for utilitarian bicycle trips, which can be categorized as a two (2) mile radius from the point of trip origination. The two (2) mile radius was derived from a special tabulation of the 1990 Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey which found that 72 percent of the work trips by bicycle are two (2) miles or less; the comparable figure for shopping trips is 87 percent. The availability of the bikeways network to serve existing land uses is limited. When the utilitarian bicycle functional area coverage is merged with public transit functional area coverage, the availability of bicycles to serve existing land uses increases substantially. This link between the bicycle and public transit is possible because BCT and Tri-Rail provide bicycle storage racks on their vehicles. Lack of appropriate bicycle facilities at terminals, however, has limited the connection between the bicycle and public transit. Placing bicycle lockers at Tri-Rail stations and BCT transfer points would increase security for parked bicycles, but requires administration over the locker rentals. Providing this service would eliminate two (2) major disincentives to riding a bicycle to a transit location: lack of parking and bicycle theft. In addition to increasing security, when marked and located properly, bicycle lockers would increase the area serviced by a transit stop. Bicycle lockers at Tri-Rail stations would enable patrons, not serviced by the feeder buses, to store a bicycle for use after disembarking. Locating bicycle lockers at selected transit transfer stations or points, park-and-ride lots, and Tri-Rail stations could increase public transit’s appeal to patrons who may otherwise not use transit. By providing for the bicyclist, as well as the pedestrian, the geographic market service area for transit is enlarged. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with BCT to provide bicycle lockers and other amenities at the Sheridan Street and Hollywood Tri-Rail Stations. The provision of bicycle lockers and showers will be incorporated into the design of the Hollywood Boulevard Intermodal Station. While bicycle commuters reduce traffic congestion by a small number, one segment of the bicycling population, which significantly contributes to the reduction of the number of vehicles on the road daily, are children. For the majority of students, bicycling and walking are the only available type of independent transportation. Removing the barriers to bicycling for this segment of the cycling population has the potential for reducing peak hour traffic. If the children, riding bicycles to school, had to be driven additional cars would be added to the roadway network during peak morning traffic. *** City of Hollywood Transportation Element T-61 January 2008 The two most commonly cited reasons by school administrators for why students are taking motor vehicles to school are bicycle theft and hazardous walking conditions. These are correctable through facility or site improvements. The removal of hazardous walking conditions will decrease traffic by encouraging walking and bicycling to school. d. *Pedestrianways.* Availability of pedestrianways to service existing land uses is primarily a function of the functional area coverage of the existing pedestrianway. As noted in the public transit availability discussion, the distance a person would be willing to walk is approximately ¼ mile. Since this distance is so small, the pedestrianway network should be geared toward improving access to the public transit network and improving connections within compact mixed-use areas, such as downtowns and regional activity centers. The City of Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency will ensure pedestrian connections to Downtown Hollywood through the implementation of the 1998 Urban Land Institute (ULI) Study’s recommendations in the City of Hollywood’s Capital Improvement Program. Most of the pedestrian components of the ULI Study include improving the access to Young Circle Park which is located in the middle of Young Circle at US 1 (Federal Highway) and Hollywood Boulevard. Due to the high volume of traffic and the amount of lanes a pedestrian must cross to get to the park, it is both dangerous to access and therefore underutilized. ULI calls for building a median in the middle of the existing four lanes on US1 so pedestrians would only cross two lanes at a time. Young Circle Park has been redesigned and paved crossings at crossing designated areas have been installed to further encourage pedestrian use of the park. Other pedestrian issues for downtown redevelopment include pavers on the perimeter streets and continuing the paved pattern where necessary. 3. Adequacy of transportation system for evacuation. The existing and projected transportation systems are adequate to evacuate (Category 1-2 hurricane) the coastal population of approximately 91,315 persons in Broward County prior to an impending natural disaster, such as a hurricane. The Coastal Management Element’s Natural Disaster Component addresses evacuation under Category three (3), four (4), and five (5) hurricanes. Three critical evacuation factors include the adequacy of evacuation routes, transportation and hazard route constraints, and evacuation time. Policy incorporated herein address evacuation of the Coastal High Hazard Areas. a. _Evacuation routes._ State Road A1A, the main north-south roadway that extends throughout City of Hollywood’s coastal area, is connected to 3 east-west roadways, which serve as the evacuation routes in the event of a hurricane. S.R. A1A/Ocean Drive is a four-lane roadway between Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Sheridan Street. It narrows to two lanes between Sheridan Street and Dania Beach Boulevard. S.R. A1A’s existing level of service ranges between C and D, south of Dania Beach Boulevard to the Broward/Miami-Dade County line. Due to the right-of-way width on those sections, the construction of additional lanes is not possible; however, the TIP programs signal timing improvements, which should help improve traffic flow. Since each route has a draw bridge at the Intracoastal, the conflict between the boat traffic and vehicle traffic is unavoidable. Evacuation routes and bridges critical to hurricane evacuation are identified on Map M-9. For the estimated 91,315 persons in Broward County needed to be evacuated from the Coastal High Hazard Areas, this could be accomplished 21 hours before the landfall of a hurricane. All bridges across the ICWW are four-lane bridges within the City of Hollywood. The total hourly number of vehicles in Broward County which can be evacuated from the Coastal High Hazard Areas is approximately 17,700 cars. b. _Transportation and hazard constraints on routes._ Transportation constraints include the number of lanes and the availability of bridges to evacuate the population. Hazard constraints include debris and sand, flooding, and falling objects, such as utility poles causing road blockages, which restrict vehicular movement from the evacuation areas. To address these constraints, municipal, county, and state law enforcement officers have been assigned to direct traffic at the major coastal intersections and to identify and remove hazards. c. _Evacuation Time._ Clearance time is the time required to clear all vehicles from the roadway system during an evacuation. The area requiring evacuation during a Category 1 and Category 2 storm is identified in the _Coastal Management Element’s Natural Disaster Component Support Document._ The area requiring evacuation during a Storm Category 3, through 5 are identified in the _Coastal Management Element’s Natural Disaster Component Support Document._ To determine whether the evacuation time is adequate to evacuate the coastal population prior to a natural disaster, one must compare the clearance time and the mobilization time against the evacuation order time. The mobilization is the time required by evacuees to secure their homes and prepare to leave and by government and quasi-government to muster their resources and implement evacuation operations. The evacuation order time is the time in hours, by which the evacuation order must be given in order to allow all evacuees to reach their destination. The evacuation order time is given by the County Mayor 21 to 26 hours prior to the forecasted landfall of the storm event, depending upon the category of the storm threatening Broward County. Thus, the roadway network will be adequate to evacuate the coastal population if the clearance time and mobilization time are less than 21 hours. The Broward County Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan provides for a mobilization time of four (4) hours. Clearance times for a Category 1 and 2 storm ranges from 2 hours 37 minutes, at Hillsboro Boulevard, to 8 hours and 4 minutes, at Hollywood Boulevard. Based upon these times, the roadway network is adequate to evacuate the population in the event of a Category 1 and 2 storm. The clearance times for Storm Categories 1 and 2 are depicted in Table T-36. Table T-36 Hurricane Evacuation Clearance Times Storm Categories 1 and 2 | Storm Category | Zone | Restricting Point | Time to Palm Beach County Line | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1,2 | 7 | Dania Beach. Blvd. & Sheridan St. | 3.34 | | 1,2 | 8 | Hollywood Blvd. | 8.04 | Source: South Florida Regional Hurricane Evacuation Study, SFRPC, 1995. Hollywood Boulevard has the poorest clearance time in all of Broward County with an estimated clearance time of over 8 hours. Broward County’s sub-policy 3.1.1.4 uses the eight (8) hour clearance time on Hollywood Boulevard as the standard by which to measure clearance times. Unlike the roadway network analysis, which assumes the coastal population evacuates Broward County, the public transit analysis assumes the coastal population will be evacuated to a County hurricane shelter. For public transit purposes, evacuation time is adequate if mobilization time and public transit operational times are less than the evacuation order time, i.e., 21 to 26 hours, depending on the severity of the storm. In order to allow for mobilization time, public transit evacuation operations commence four hours after an evacuation order is issued by the County Mayor. Public transit evacuation operations stay in effect approximately six and one half (6.5) hours for a Category 1 and 2 storm and twelve (12) hours for a Category 3, 4 and 5 storm. Based upon these times, the public transit network is adequate to support the evacuation of the coastal population. Table T-37 shows the clearance times for Storm Categories 3, 4 and 5. The area requiring evacuation during a Storm Category 3 and Storm Categories 4 and 5 are identified on Map M-9. Table T-37 Hurricane Evacuation Clearance Times Storm Categories 3, 4 & 5 | Storm Category | Zone | Restricting Point | Time to Palm Beach County Line | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 3 | 7 | Dania Beach. Blvd. & Sheridan St. | 4.38 | | 4,5 | 7 | SR 84, Griffin, Stirling, Sheridan St. | 2.02 | | 3 | 8 | Hollywood Blvd. & Pembroke Rd. | 5.02 | | 4,5 | 8 | Hollywood Blvd. & Pembroke Rd. | 6.49 | Source: South Florida Regional Hurricane Evacuation Study, SFRPC, 1995. In addition, measures to maintain or reduce evacuation times were incorporated into the Broward County Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan, which identifies tasks and assigns responsibility to specific County divisions for their timely implementation. The measures devised to reduce evacuation times include public information, traffic control, debris removal, and public transit. Further, in order to decrease the evacuation time during the hurricane emergency, the Broward County Emergency Management Agency also reviews and approves hospitals, nursing homes, ambulatory surgical centers, adult living facilities, and other residential health care facility's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans on an annual basis. d. _Adequacy for future evacuation._ The roadway network and transit services for future evacuation also are projected to be adequate. Based on Appendix 1, all sections of S.R. A1A will have level of service better than D except a shorter section south of Hallandale Beach Boulevard, which is E. And for the 12 east-west evacuation routes, only two roadways, Atlantic and Hallandale Beach Boulevard, will have a 2015 level of service worse than “D.” Even though both of these roadways are located in the TCEA, there is a corridor study underway for improving Atlantic Boulevard, and a realignment construction project at Hallandale Beach Boulevard and S.R. A1A to improve better traffic movements. e. _Hurricane evacuation._ BCT continues to provide bus service to the Coastal High Hazard Area. BCT buses, augmented by other vehicles if necessary, are pre- positioned at designated pick-up points to provide transportation to refuge locations for those individuals who have not been able to make other arrangements. Approximately 175 BCT buses have been committed to participate in the evacuation of transit dependent individuals. Due to mobile home trailer park residents’ and owners’ lack of response to surveys that identify emergency transportation needs, the Mass Transit Division maintains 10 vehicles on stand by status ready to respond, as needed, to trailer parks. Transportation for people with special needs is coordinated through Emergency Welfare Services, the Mass Transit Paratransit Service, and its designated contractor. One of the major responsibilities of the Paratransit Service Section is to notify and mobilize all assigned staff personnel necessary to implement the Emergency Action Plan for evacuation outlined in the Emergency Transportation Plan. Before the start of each hurricane season, the Broward County Mass Transit Division reviews its Hurricane Evacuation Plan for currency and continued effectiveness. The mission for such plan is to assure a safe and orderly evacuation of transit dependant residents, or visitors to a designated hurricane refuge prior the landfall of hurricanes. 4. **Compatibility around airports.** The principal land use impacts from any airport can be expressed in terms of safety, noise and accessibility. As is common among urban airports, some land uses surrounding Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport are not considered compatible with the airport. a. *Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport.* The predominant future land uses adjacent to FLL are light industrial with an intermixing of residential, recreational, and commercial uses, to the north; Port Everglades seaport to the northeast; vacant parcels zoned for industrial uses, a rental car facility, manufacturing facilities and wetlands, to the east; residential neighborhoods, to the south; and industrial properties in the Port 95 Commerce Park, to the west. Broward County has also adopted an Airport Zoning Ordinance that provides for protection of airspace in unincorporated Broward County. Tall structures, such as cellular towers, buildings and cranes can penetrate the airspace surrounding an airport and affect the operations of the airport. This Ordinance enables the County to control tall structure construction in unincorporated areas that would impact aviation capacity around County-owned airports. Chapter 333 Florida Statutes governs airspace in municipalities where no airport zoning ordinance has been adopted. *Safety.* A runway protection zone (RPZ, formerly called clear zone) is an area off the runway end used to enhance the protection of people and property on the ground. Broward County has acquired the majority of the land within the six RPZs at FLL, as well as land in the approach and transition zones for Runway 27L, in order to maintain these areas for open space or other land uses that would be compatible with aircraft operations. Much of this land was previously in private ownership and had been developed for residential and commercial uses that were not compatible with airport operations. Broward County Aviation Department conducts regular surveys for obstructions that affect the airspace in the approach surfaces at FLL, as defined by Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77. The Department is active in trimming and removing potential vegetation obstructions. Fixed objects, such as buildings, light poles, and cellular towers are marked with obstruction lights as required by the FAA. In addition, the runway thresholds have been displaced to provide sufficient clearance from obstructions that cannot be removed from the runway approaches, including existing interstate highways and railroads. Broward County has also adopted an Airport Zoning Ordinance that provides for protection of airspace in unincorporated Broward County. Tall structures, such as cellular towers, buildings and cranes can penetrate the airspace surrounding an airport and affect the operations of the airport. This Ordinance enables the County to control tall structure construction in unincorporated areas that would impact aviation capacity around County owned airports. Chapter 333 Florida Statutes governs airspace in municipalities where no airport zoning ordinance has been adopted. Policy 3.1.5 addresses programs that will maintain and improve safety at FLL. A Broward County Land Development Code ordinance was passed in 2003 (Ordinance 2003-22) that applies to all new development and those existing plats that are to be reviewed after October 2003. The ordinance requires all developers constructing new residential properties disclose to potential homeowners the proximity of FLL. This is based on graphic prepared by the Aviation Department as it relates to the Florida Statutes Chapter 333. *Noise.* The 1994 FAR Part 150 Study Technical Report showed 463 units in Dania and Fort Lauderdale exposed to a forecast noise contour of 65 DNL or higher in 1997. The 65 DNL noise exposure level is considered by the FAA to be the threshold level for aircraft noise. The Study recommended noise control measures that have been implemented at FLL, including preferential use of runways, preferential flight tracks, noise abatement takeoff and approach, and use of displaced thresholds. The noise contours for FLL are expected to shrink due to the increased use of quieter Stage 3 aircraft by 2000, as mandated by FAA. Therefore fewer homes will be impacted. The Part 150 Study is in the process of being updated by a selected consultant with a draft version due Spring 07. In 1990, Broward County constructed a green belt berm south of the airfield to mitigate noise impacts to the Melaleuca Gardens neighborhood, located south of the airport. *Accessibility.* By definition, the airport is primarily a transportation center for air service, providing connections to international and domestic cities. Local access to the airport is primarily by road from Interstate 595 to U.S. Route 1, which have connections to Interstate 95 and Florida Turnpike. Broward County Transit Route 1 serves the airport. There is a Tri-Rail connection at Fort Lauderdale Airport Station, where a shuttle bus brings passengers to the terminals. Policy 3.2.5 addresses programs that will improve convenience at FLL. B. **Existing transportation system level of service and system needs.** The City of Hollywood utilizes Broward County’s transportation analysis to determine the existing transportation system level of service and system needs as described below. Where a Broward County Transportation Element policy is referenced, the City of Hollywood will adopt the policy or develop a similar policy for roadways within the City of Hollywood’s boundaries. 1. *Roadways network.* Map M-4 depicts the 2005 level of service for roadways in the City of Hollywood. Broward County’s Roadway Level of Service Analysis supports Map M-4 and depicts roadway segments, segment peak-hour traffic volumes (PHT), segment capacity (level of service “D”), volume to capacity (V/C) ratio, and level of service as measured by peak-hour traffic conditions. 2. *Public transit network.* Broward County is divided into Concurrency Districts, as illustrated in Map M-6A of the Appendix for this Element. An area-wide level of service standard has been established for each such District, for issuing development orders and permits, based on the quality of transit services within the District. C. **Projected transportation system levels of service and system needs.** 1. *Roadway network.* Broward County MPO’s Roadway Level of Service for the long-term planning horizon for year 2030 in the City of Hollywood is shown on Map M-11. The volumes included in the Appendix are based on the Broward County Land Use Plan, which plan establishes a future land use map designation for all property within Broward County. Table T-38 shows the number and percent of roadway segments that are projected to be operating below the Level of Service standard in year 2030. The overcapacity roadway mileage increase from 248 in the year 2005 to 521 in the year 2030, that’s over 100 percent increase in the mileage of roadway segments. ### Table T-38 ### Broward County’s Roadway Segments Operating Below the Level of Service Standard “D” ### 2030 Conditions | Roadway Type | Centerline Miles | Lane Miles | Overcapacity | | Percent Overcapacity | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | | Centerline Miles | Lane Miles | Centerline Miles | Lane Miles | | Freeway | 114 | 913 | 81 | 696 | 71% | 76% | | Arterial | 568 | 2,901 | 320 | 1,745 | 56% | 60% | | Collector | 408 | 1,179 | 120 | 280 | 29% | 24% | | Total | 1,090 | 4,993 | 521 | 2,721 | 48% | 55% | Table T-39 shows the number of overcapacity roadway segments as well as the “strategy” to address the deficiencies, which includes LOS standard exemptions for constrained segments, improvements (i.e., programmed within the next five years or shown as improved on the 2030 Cost Feasible roadway network), and unfunded. ### Table T-39 ### Number and Percent of Broward County’s Overcapacity Roadway Segments | Roadway Conditions | 2005 | | 2030 | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Number | Percent | Number | Percent | | Segments at LOS “E” or “F” | 221 | 100% | 491 | 100% | | Programmed for Improvements or Improved by Year 2030 | 71 | 32.1% | 85 | 17.3% | | Constrained Segments | 61 | 27.6% | 199 | 40.5% | | Unfunded Segments | 89 | 40.3% | 207 | 42.2% | SOURCE: Appendices 3 – E and 3 - F, Roadway Level of Service Analysis, Broward County Transportation Planning Division, 2006. Using the above methodology, the number of unfunded overcapacity segments increased from 89 segments in 2005 to 207 segments in 2030. The overall percentage of unfunded overcapacity segments increased by 1.9 percent between 2005 and 2030. Upon closer inspection of the data several observations can be noted. Many of these unfunded segments are two (2) and four (4) lane roads that may be classified by the County in the future as constrained roadways. The Broward County Transportation Element provides for the County to conduct a study on constrained roadways so as to provide for an adequate level of service and to improve mobility. Moreover, some of the unfunded segments are expressways. These include I-595, Sawgrass Expressway, and Florida’s Turnpike Extension (HEFT). Further, see Section III.D. For additional strategies the County will use to maintain the adopted LOS standard. 2. **Public transit network.** An important aspect of public transit service is to accommodate the special needs of the transportation disadvantaged. These needs are documented in a Plan for Complementary Paratransit Mass Transit Service for Persons with Disabilities for Broward County, Florida and in Broward County Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan, 1996. 3. **Bikeways network.** As a way to measure the accessibility and convenience of this bikeways network, the Broward County Transportation Planning Division has developed an indicator known as the level of coverage (LOC). The LOC ranges from A, the best level of coverage, to E, the worst, and measures the percentage of major public transit attractors that are accessible through the bikeways network. Table T-40 displays the percentages associated with each LOC indicator. Data for individual jurisdictions was not available. Table T-40 Broward County Bikeways Network Level of Coverage | Percent of Bikeways Network Accessible to Major Public Transit Attractors | LOC Indicator | | :--- | :--- | | 0 – 20 | E | | 21 – 40 | D | | 41 – 60 | C | | 61 – 80 | B | | 81 – 100 | A | Source: Bicycle Facilities Network Plan, Executive Summary, Broward County Transportation Planning Division, 1995. Currently, the bikeways network has a LOC of “E”, which means that less than 20 percent of the major public transit attractors are accessible through the bikeways network. Based on this LOC, the primary need is to develop a bicycle network that will provide access to a majority of the major public transit attractors. The Bicycle Facilities Network Plan calls for an increase to the LOC “C” by 2005. For the long-term, the Bicycle Facilities Network Plan calls for an increase to the LOC “A”. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with Broward County to achieve this goal. 4. Pedestrian network. The summary of existing needs included in this subsection is based upon the Broward County Pedestrian Facilities Plan. The primary need of both the state and the county sidewalk systems is to improve connectivity and access to public transit by completing missing linkages. Table T-41 summarizes the mileages of these needs provided in the Broward County program. Data for individual jurisdictions was not available. The City of Hollywood has developed a short and long range sidewalk program which is to be incorporated into the City of Hollywood’s Capital Improvements Element. The short range program is called Safety First!. As part of the program $600,000 were invested to construct 30,000 linear feet of sidewalks throughout the City. The Safety First! Program evolved into the 50150 program which has invested over 2 million dollars and created over 100,000 linear feet of public sidewalks. ### Table T-41 ### Broward County Sidewalk System Needs, 1992 | Roadway system | Mileage | | :--- | :--- | | State network needs | 185 | | County Network needs | 217 | | Regional system needs | 402 | Source: Broward County Pedestrian Facility Network Plan, Broward County Transportation Planning Division, 1992. 5. **Waterways network.** A significant trend in the marine industry has been the increase in the number of ships using the navigable waterways. The projected increase in boat traffic is resulting in proposed Corps of Engineering (COE) regulations that would prohibit the construction, reconstruction, and substantial rehabilitation of any structure within 62½ feet of the main channel. The increase from 25 feet to 62½ feet is intended to provide a wider area for boats to navigate along the ICWW and to create a safer passage for smaller boats needing to get around large vessels, as well as to create enough space for barges to pass side by side. Another significant trend in the marine industry is that ships are getting larger and larger. In the next five (5) years, 25 new large capacity cruise ships will be coming on line. To accommodate these large capacity cruise ships efficiently, the essential portside requirements are deeper water, larger terminals, and sufficient parking. Container ships also are getting larger. Some of the largest now carries 4,000 to 5,000 TEUs, and even larger ships are planned. To accommodate these ships efficiently, the essential portside requirements are deeper water and faster-moving container cargo cranes with a longer reach along births that can support them. But these ships also impose significant landside access requirements. If the containers they carry are to be moved by truck, then uncongested roadway connections must be provided; if they are to be moved by rail, unimpeded rail connections are required. In the latter case, this means as few possible grade crossings and, increasingly, provisions for double-stack trains. Efficient intermodal container transfer yards also are required to maximize port throughput. Port Everglades maintains five-year and ten-year capital improvements programs through the year 2005 which identify the infrastructure improvements necessary to meet the Port’s projected needs. In order to continue accommodating the largest ships, Port Everglades will need to widen and deepen the channel. Port Everglades will be seeking permission from the COE to widen the Intercoastal Waterway (ICWW) within the PJA to accommodate the larger cruise and cargo ships which are expected to be berthing in Port Everglades. The Coastal Management Element’s Deepwater Port Component (CME/DPC) notes that the anticipated number of cruise passenger embarkations is projected to increase steadily from a total of 1,152,400 in 1995 to 1.5 million in 2000 and 2.0 million in 2005. In an effort to accommodate the new mega-class cruise ships expected to be operating in the future and the concomitant increase in cruise passengers, Port Everglades is planning the expansion of Passenger Terminals 21, 25, the reconstruction of Terminal 22/24, and the expansion of the Midport Parking Garage from 1,000 to 2,000 cars, with the possible conversion of Terminal 29 to accommodate cruise ships, if needed. An additional 650-car parking garage, to serve Northport's cruise ship terminals, is also under consideration. The CME/DPC shows containerized cargo is projected to increase at both Midport and Southport. The low range projections show container cargo increasing at Midport from 166,700 containers in 1995 to 224,100 containers in 2005. The Midport high range projections show 353,000 containers in 2005. To meet these projected needs, Port Everglades is considering the installation of a third containerized cargo crane in Midport. The Southport low range projection is 233,200 containers in 1995 to 313,400 in 2005, while the high range projection is 490,800 containers in 2005. In order to meet these future needs, Broward County has already acquired 271 acres of privately held land in Southport. The Southport expansion includes the enlargement of the Container Terminal, the construction of a near-dock Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) with an option to construct a Roll-On/Roll-Off rail ferry berth, additional container storage yard areas, the installation of three new low-profile container gantry cranes, and the conversion of Berth 30 to serve container ships. Petroleum cargo also is projected to increase from 99.4 million barrels per year in 1995 to 114.3 million barrels per year in 2005. Break-bulk cargo, which includes waste paper, steel and lumber, is projected to remain relatively stable, increasing from 144,100 tons per year in 1995 to 146,400 tons per year in 2005. Bulk cargo, which includes gypsum, cement, and scrap, is projected to remain flat at 992,700 tons per year between 1995 and 2005. SE 14th Avenue, between Eller Drive and SE 26th Street, is a 2-lane roadway which serves as the primary access way to the Port's petroleum terminals. SE 14th Avenue also accesses the FPL Port Everglades Plant and privately owned industrial land uses. This roadway has been placed on the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Unfunded Priority List for widening to a 4-lane roadway. Further, a traffic count monitoring system will be established to identify areas of congestion and to promote a pavement management system. To remain competitive in the future, Port Everglades will require unimpeded rail connections. This means as few possible grade crossings and, increasingly, provisions for double-stack trains. As noted above a near dock Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, rail yard, and a rail/barge intermodal facility are being planned in Southport. 6. **Airports and related facilities.** The most recent update to the FLL Master Plan was completed in 1994. Since that time, FLL’s passenger traffic has more than doubled, the mix of airlines serving the Airport has fundamentally changed, the fleet of aircraft serving FLL has changed, and the economics of the airline industry have become more uncertain. During this period of change, the County successfully completed a $650 million capital program, which delivered new and improved access and passenger terminal facilities. These facilities include Terminal 1 with 18 gates, the Hibiscus Garage, the Rental Car Center and Cypress Garage, double-decking of the inbound roadway, and a new interchange between the Airport roadway system, US 1, and I-595. A. Recognizing that the facility development process at FLL is ongoing, the following items were deemed to be “givens” and were not subject to additional review or analysis in Phase 1 of the master planning effort: *Facilities* – Concourse A and the Cruise Bus Facility, the international terminal facilities at the Terminal 4 site, and double-decking of the Airport exit roadway are all projects for which the County is expending planning and design funds, and these projects were not to be reviewed as part of the Master Plan Update. _EIS Alternatives_ – The County has re-initiated the FAA’s EIS process to gain approval of the Proposed South Runway Extension. As of January 2006, the FAA’s EIS process identified a set of five alternative airfield development projects beyond the “Preferred Alternative” provided by the County to the FAA. An overriding directive for the Master Plan Update has been that development options shall be compatible with the alternatives being considered in the EIS process. _Port-Airport Integration_ – The County has begun an environmental assessment of an automated people-mover system planned to provide service between the passenger terminals at FLL, an Intermodal Center east of FLL, and Port Everglades. It was assumed in the Master Plan Update that a corridor for this people mover will be preserved within the Airport boundary. Broward County’s Board of Commissioner’s approved the County Objective Statement. The 2004 Objective Statement established a goal to “enhance FLL’s capacity to accommodate forecast traffic through the year 2020...” without unreasonable delay for aircraft operations at the Airport. Inherent in these approvals is a goal to accommodate forecast traffic growth at FLL through the expansion of facilities. This goal is consistent with Development Orders for expansion of the Airport (as approved in 1997 by the City of Fort Lauderdale, the City of Hollywood, and Broward County), which envisioned that the Airport would have three air-carrier-capable runways and passenger terminals with a total of 79 gates. In 2003, the Board voted to examine options for shortening one of these runways—Runway 13-31, the Crosswind Runway—and in 2004, the County Objective Statement established a goal to decommission this runway. B. In addition to these “givens”, certain early analysis undertaken as part of the Master Plan Update and decisions made by the Board during the course of Phase 1 have also been incorporated as “fixed” components of the future development plan for the Airport. These include: _Decommissioning of Crosswind Runway_ – At the request of the Board, the Phase 1 scope of work included an evaluation of the necessity for and utility of the Crosswind Runway. As outlined in Section 5 of this summary report, it was concluded that (1) the Crosswind Runway would have little or no operational value if the South Runway is extended as planned, (2) the Crosswind Runway is likely to be physically incompatible with the South Runway extension if the extension is constructed consistent with the value engineering study completed by URS in February 2005, and (3) the land area at the core of FLL would be better used and more valuable for passenger terminal and support facilities than for a limited-use runway. The County Objective Statement included as a goal the future decommissioning of the Crosswind Runway, which was therefore assumed as a basis for planning in this Master Plan Update. *North Parallel Runway* – Development of a “close parallel” runway between the current location of Runway 9L-27R (the North Runway) and the current northern boundary of the Airport is included as an alternative in the FAA’s EIS process for the Proposed South Runway Extension, and was evaluated as an option in the November 2003 Leigh Fisher Associates (LFA) report, *Assessment of Airfield Alternatives*. In conjunction with work on the Master Plan Update, LFA was asked to review the advisability of retaining the option to develop the north parallel runway. It was concluded that preserving the option for a north parallel runway is advisable, at least until (1) the EIS process determines how the airfield at FLL is best expanded, (2) the South Runway is extended, as proposed in the County’s “Preferred Alternative,” or (3) the FAA opines on the proposed use restriction for landings of larger aircraft on Runway 9R, after extension. Preservation of the potential to develop a north parallel runway was, therefore, assumed as a basis for planning in this Master Plan Update. *General Aviation Facilities* – In recent years, general aviation service providers at FLL have sought to expand facilities to accommodate current and forecast demand. The Master Plan Update scope of work included an examination of the potential role and facilities for general aviation at FLL. It was concluded that (1) while the share of general aviation operations at FLL is high relative to that of other congested airports nationally, FLL’s share of regional general aviation traffic is low, (2) the FAA TAF indicates only limited increases in future general aviation operations at FLL, (3) the presence of general aviation facilities in multiple areas of the Airport contributes to operational inefficiencies, (4) Broward County should establish policies that consolidate general aviation facilities into one area of the Airport (provisionally defined as the West Side area south of Lee Wagener Boulevard), and (5) Broward County should charge general aviation operators landing fees that, at a minimum, are equivalent to those paid by other airfield users. Preservation and consolidation of general aviation facilities were, therefore, assumed as a basis for planning in this Master Plan Update. At FLL, traffic has increased significantly since the early 1990s, attributed primarily to strong regional economic growth, significant expansion of service by existing and new entrant, including low-fare, airlines, and the resulting increasing share of regional passenger activity accommodated at FLL relative to competing commercial service airports in South Florida. Annual enplaned passengers at FLL, as presented in the FAA TAF published in January 2005. Enplaned passengers at FLL are forecast to increase an average of 3.8% per year. This is somewhat lower than the actual long-term growth rate of 4.9% (from 1980 to 2004), which consistently surpassed forecasts for the period. However, the current forecast rate of growth below historical levels is not unreasonable for planning purposes given the larger base of activity and substantial market penetration by the low-fare airlines. Figures F-1 and F-2 display the historical and forecast enplaned passengers at FLL. Figure F-1 Historical Annual Enplaned Passengers | Fiscal Year | Domestic Passengers | International Passengers | Enplaned Passengers Number | Enplaned Passengers % Change | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1997 | 5,410,183 | 678,059 | 6,088,242 | - | | 1998 | 5,551,979 | 618,687 | 6,170,666 | 1.4% | | 1999 | 6,134,318 | 682,400 | 6,816,718 | 10.5% | | 2000 | 6,919,181 | 718,961 | 7,638,142 | 12.1% | | 2001 | 7,772,569 | 738,225 | 8,510,794 | 11.4% | | 2002 | 7,606,900 | 592,716 | 8,199,616 | -3.7% | | 2003 | 8,099,727 | 630,437 | 8,730,164 | 6.5% | | 2004 | 9,243,020 | 794,479 | 10,037,499 | 15.0% | | 2005 | 10,303,438 | 1,063,553 | 11,366,991 | 13.3% | Source: 2006 Annual Statistical Report 5, Broward County Aviation Department City of Hollywood [LOGO] Transportation Element T-79 January 2008 Figure F-2 Historical and Forecast Enplaned Passengers <

> Source: Federal Aviation Administration, Terminal Area Forecast, January 2005 C. *Accommodating the Forecast.* Various planning metrics are typically used to establish the size or quantity of elements that would be needed within the terminal complex to accommodate forecast levels of activity at reasonable service levels. Certain types of “industry standard” planning metrics are adapted based on the unique character of a specific airport when initiating a master plan, while others are based on the observed use patterns at the airport. For FLL, one metric was based on activity patterns at other U.S. airports similar in character to FLL, a second was based on historical demand patterns at the Airport, and a third followed standard industry practices. The results for each example are presented in the following paragraphs. *Aircraft Gates* – A planning metric was developed for FLL in Phase 1 that associates forecast levels of passenger aircraft operations with the estimated number of required gates. Based on throughput observed at other U.S. origin-destination airports, industry trends, and potential efficiency benefits arising from improvements to the FLL terminal complex, it was assumed that FLL will eventually accommodate up to seven passenger aircraft departures per gate per day. In the long-term, this throughput capacity per gate translates to a projected need for 78 to 84 gates at FLL by the year 2020. However, it is worth noting that higher levels of efficiency in the terminal areas are likely to be achieved prior to 2020. *Passenger Vehicle Parking* – No airport industry standard is available or would be useful in planning future parking facilities at FLL. Parking demand at each airport differs based on variations in the resident/non-resident traffic split, the location of an airport relative to the source of a residents’ ground trip, and the availability of convenient and fast public transit, among other things. Based on previous analysis of parking demand patterns at FLL, a ratio of 175-200 parking spaces per gate was determined to be the best means of estimating a reasonable supply of parking spaces within the terminal complex. The previous analysis also established the need for an additional 30% of parking spaces for peak and holiday seasons remote from the terminal complex, most likely in at-grade parking lots. Therefore, a total of about 17,000 spaces would be needed in the terminal area by 2020 to accommodate demand with service levels roughly similar to those experienced today. *Terminal Roadway Capacity* – A roadway traffic and curbside capacity assessment was conducted in Phase 1 to establish the capacity of the existing terminal complex roadway system and curb frontage. The purposes of this assessment were to (1) estimate vehicle flows and stationary pick-up/drop-off activity at the terminal curbs, and identify the interface between these two activities, at forecast traffic levels, and (2) estimate the degradation of service levels in the absence of improvements through 2020. A combination of standard measures of vehicle capacity per lane was used for roadways and observations regarding curbside activity at FLL. The findings of that assessment indicate that increased capacity and other improvements to the roadway system, particularly in the vicinity of Terminals 2 and 3, will need to be in place within approximately 10 years to avoid significant disruption of through traffic and curbside vehicle traffic flow during peak periods. As might be expected given the known shortfalls of the existing roadway design, these improvements would include, at a minimum, modifications to the roadway geometry and additional vehicle lanes in the vicinity of Terminals 2 and 3, which are discussed in more detail in Section 6. An inherent shortfall in the existing FLL roadway design is the lack of passenger pick-up/drop-off areas that are physically separated from the roadway, particularly on the upper level roadway. Therefore, either excess through-traffic on the roadway or increased dwell time at the terminal curbs will degrade the roadway system's performance because the operations “interfere” with one another. For example, while peak hour curbside traffic at Terminal 2 may be limited by the number of gates at the terminal, increased through-traffic generated by expansion elsewhere will increase congestion, bottlenecks, and the potential for gridlock. 7. **Railways network.** Projected railway network needs is based on the Tri-County Rail Master Plan, the Transit Development Plan, Fiscal Year 1997 Update, the 1996 Florida Rail System Plan, and Planning for the railway network is somewhat different than other transportation modes as the majority of the network is owned and operated by the private sector. Thirteen line-haul and four (4) terminal railroads own or operate 97 percent of the state's railway network. Consequently, both the state and county have limited input regarding railroad decisions. The FDOT's role is limited to the “proper maintenance, safety, revitalization, and expansion of the rail system to assure its continued and increased availability to respond to statewide mobility needs.” Completing the double tracking of the South Florida Rail Corridor was the main network need. This construction project and other improvements including switching facilities for Tri-Rail have a total of $108 million budgeted in the TIP. Other needs include eliminating at-grade crossings and improving safety. The Double Track Corridor Improvement Program called for reconstruction along 72 miles of the South Florida Rail Corridor and a second mainline track parallel to the existing track. As part of the program, the Segment 5 Project was the final major phase of double tracking. This $333.8 million project included the installation of 43.5 miles of second mainline track; upgrades to the existing signal system; construction of 11 new bridges; replacement and/or rehabilitation of 13 bridges; modification and renovation of 10 stations; acquisition of five locomotives and two cab cars, as well as enhancements to grade crossing - - providing full closure at all 70 grade crossings. The long-awaited completion of the Segment 5 Project in March 2007 has given commuters more options in making transportation choices with added trains, reduced times between trains, shorter travel time from end to end within the Tri-Rail service area and more flexibility. As a result, the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority has expanded Tri-Rail operations from 30 to 40 trains per day, representing a 33 percent increase in weekday service. Additional improvements facilitated by the completion of the Segment 5 Project included enhanced comfort at stations, future expansion capabilities, more efficient movement of goods and freight and less traffic congestion. South Florida Regional Transportation Authority/Tri-Rail estimates that these improvements will serve 27,900 average daily boarding's by 2015. The Hollywood Boulevard Tri-Rail station was included in Segment 5 of the Double Track Corridor Improvement Project System and the Sheridan Street Station was included in Phase VII. The City of Hollywood coordinated with Tri-Rail and FDOT's South Florida Rail Office to coordinate the timing of the double tracking project in conjunction with proposed improvements to the Hollywood Boulevard Tri-Rail passenger facility (Hollywood Boulevard Intermodal Station). At the request of the City of Hollywood, the double tracking occurred in the same phase for both the Hollywood Boulevard Tri-Rail passenger station and the Sheridan Street Tri-Rail passenger station. 8. **Intermodal facilities.** The summary of projected needs included in this subsection is based on the Transit Needs Assessment (1996), prepared by Carr Smith Corradino for the Broward County Mass Transit Division, and the Transit Development Plan (TDP), Fiscal Year 1997 Update, prepared by the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority in 1996. The following analysis of the projected deficiencies and needs are focused on terminals, connections, high occupancy vehicle lanes, and park-and-ride lots. a. *Intermodal facilities of state significance.* Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport needs are respectively addressed in waterway network and airport network needs. There is a continuing need for federal subsidies to keep CSXT, the FEC, and other rail related facilities operational. b. *Terminals.* Four new Neighborhood Transit Stations are proposed, one of which will be located in the City of Hollywood. These facilities will combine connections with fixed routes and neighborhood shuttles, passenger facilities, and access to community services in one location. The location of the City of Hollywood station is: * Hollywood at Dixie Highway and Hollywood Boulevard. Within the 5-Year Capital there are several important projects that stand out as unfunded Smart Card Implementation, expansion of the shuttle bus service, modifications to stations to improve pedestrian and vehicular access. It would appear that these projects could be likely candidates for SIS funding. Within the 5-Year Operating Budget, the operating cost of implementing Phase B Project and the region-wide Smart Card system can not be supported under current funding forecasts. The operating short fall over the span of the TDP is about $81 million if these projects are implemented. The following presents the programmed and proposed projects for the fiscal years 2006-2010 and several long-term projected intermodal needs near Tri-Rail stations in the City of Hollywood: * Hollywood Station – additional signage indicating proper parking for Tri-Rail and Amtrak users, landscaping and additional parking * Fort Lauderdale Airport Station – The station needs additional signage in and around the station. Passenger amenities and access improvements. One additional bus to meet the 20-minute headways at the station. c. *Connections.* A Major Investment Study (MIS) funded by the FDOT is currently underway to develop alternatives for an intermodal connection between the Port and the Airport. Additionally, the Major Investment Study should identify the most appropriate technology, anticipating that potential technologies range from fixed-guideway systems to "special" public transit buses operating primarily in mixed traffic with some priority treatment. Container ships are getting larger. Some of the largest now carries 4,000 to 5,000 TEUs, and even larger ships are planned. To accommodate these ships efficiently, the essential portside requirements are deeper water and faster-moving container cargo cranes with a longer reach along births that can support them. But these ships also impose significant landside access requirements. If the containers they carry are to be moved by truck, then uncongested roadway connections must be provided; if they are to be moved by rail, unimpeded rail connections are required. In the latter case, this means as few possible grade crossings and, increasingly, provisions for double-stack trains. Efficient intermodal container transfer yards also are required to maximize port throughput. Port Everglades handled more than 3.5 million tons of containerized cargo in 1995, representing a 65 percent increase over the previous year. Facility upgrades to accommodate new tenants and market growth include the expansion of the Southport container terminal and plans for improved container rail service. Cruise ships also are getting larger, with 25 new large capacity cruise ships coming on line in the next few years. To accommodate these ships efficiently, the essential portside requirements are deeper water, larger terminals, and sufficient parking. Rail connections to transport the growing numbers of cruise passengers to and from airports also are being investigated. The Port Everglades Department is exploring the potential of a seaport-airport connector to facilitate passenger operations. d. _High occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes._ High occupancy vehicle lanes currently exist on Interstate 95 within the City of Hollywood. Because these facilities are not physically separated from the general purpose lanes, their use has been limited. e. _Park-and-ride lots._ While Broward County’s existing park and ride lots are underutilized, there may be a need for additional well-located facilities in the future. The City of Hollywood will continue to coordinate with Broward County to ensure that the Sheridan Tri-Rail Station Park and Ride lot is properly maintained. The City of Hollywood will also coordinate with Broward County on the development of the Hollywood Boulevard Intermodal Station (HBIS). The HBIS is to incorporate additional parking spaces that may be used as either a ridesharing lot or a park and ride lot. D. **Maintaining the adopted level of service standards.** The City of Hollywood utilizes Broward County’s methodologies to maintain the adopted level of service standards as described below. Where a Broward County Transportation Element policy is referenced, the City of Hollywood will adopt the policy or develop a similar policy for roadways within the City of Hollywood’s boundaries. Prior to discussing how Broward County can maintain the adopted transportation LOS standards, several caveats are in order. First, the transportation system is a function of the previously made Broward County land use decisions. These previously made land use decisions include decisions on: the location and intensity of built development and constructed roadways; the location and intensity of approved but non-built (i.e., vested) development; and public transit investments. Many of these decisions cannot be retracted without great public expense. Second, dynamic regional growth and travel within the region can impact the transportation system and the maintenance of LOS standards. For example, a development of regional impact creating new lower income jobs without a commensurate increase in lower cost housing can result in cross-county travel, producing unexpected impacts on the LOS standard. Third, the availability of transportation funding, especially at the federal level, can greatly influence a local government's ability to maintain the adopted LOS standard. Finally, unexpected events (such as an energy crisis, war, or new technology) can impact the maintenance of the adopted LOS standard. Notwithstanding these dynamics, Broward County can employ several strategies or tactics to help maintain its adopted transportation level of service (LOS) standards. These include implementation of a concurrency management system, transportation system management, and transportation demand management. This section also addresses maintaining the LOS standard on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS). 1. **Concurrency Management System (CMS).** The CMS is the procedures and processes employed by Broward County to assure that development orders and permits are not issued unless the necessary facilities and services are available concurrent with the impacts of development. As suggested by Broward County, the City of Hollywood uses LOS standard “D” for the purpose of issuing development permits for all affected road segments. The Development Management Division, which coordinates the development review process, manages the CMS in a manner that assures development orders or permits are not issued unless roadway facilities are available concurrent with the impacts of development or impacts are mitigated. 2. **Transportation System Management (TSM).** TSM means improving roads, intersections, and other related facilities to make the existing transportation system operate more efficiently. TSM techniques include demand management strategies, incident management strategies, and other actions that increase the operating efficiency of the existing system. a. *Roadway improvements.* In lieu of traditional widening and construction, alternative solutions are proposed in order to eliminate the traffic problems. Policy incorporated herein addresses roadway improvements as a TSM strategy. The County, in conjunction with FDOT, has taken the following action on many of these congested links: * North Dixie Highway study to improve capacity along Dixie in lieu of widening U.S. 1. * Establishment of a Congestion Management System to identify problem corridors and coordinate improvements. Adding HOV for the designated public transportation corridors, ramp metering for the SIS/FIHS, and channeling traffic are techniques that could be applied to improve existing roadways. * Tri-Rail, now a proven means of transportation for Broward County residents with expanded parking, station, and double-tracked facilities. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with FDOT with these improvements. b. *Intersection improvements.* Adding a turning lane at an intersection is another TSM technique. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with Broward County and FDOT on intersection improvements to alleviate congestion vs. roadway widening. c. *Access management.* Access management is the control and regulation of spacing and design of driveways, ramps, medians, median openings, traffic signals and intersections on arterial and collector roads to improve safe and efficient traffic flow on the road system. The City of Hollywood is now coordinating with FDOT to incorporate Access Management standards into the Land Development Code for state roads. Where economically feasible, these standards will be applied to local roads as well. d. *Signalization.* Computerization of signals on roadways has been recognized as one of most effective ways to improve the traffic flows. The City of Hollywood will continue to coordinate with Broward County on this effort. 3. Transportation Demand Management (TDM). TDM means strategies and techniques that can be used to increase the efficiency of the transportation system. Demand management focuses on ways of influencing the amount and demand for transportation by encouraging alternatives to the single-occupant automobile and by altering peak hour travel demand. These strategies and techniques include: ridesharing programs, flexible work hours, telecommuting, shuttle services, and parking management. TDM also is effective at lower residential densities than are required for public transit and pedestrian and bicycle programs. Thus, TDM can be another strategy to help combat the effects of sprawl. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with Broward County and FDOT to identify TDM strategies which are financially feasible and applicable to the City of Hollywood. The City of Hollywood will then coordinate the implementation of these strategies with the appropriate organizations. The report entitled Proposed Transportation Demand Management Options prepared by the Broward County Transportation Planning Division in cooperation with the FDOT addresses the TDM programs. A summary of its findings is addressed below: a. *Ridesharing programs.* Ridesharing is a form of transportation, other than public transit, in which more than one person shares the use of the vehicle, such as a car or van, to make a trip. Ridesharing requires only moderate densities at the home-end of trips and a common work destination; long commutes are actually conducive to ridesharing since time lost in picking up other passengers is balanced by real cost savings on the commute itself. Broward County uses this TDM strategy to bring employees to and from the Governmental Center in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The Broward County ridesharing program is managed by South Florida Commuter Services (SFCS), a FDOT regional commuter assistance program. The SFCS provides computerized rideshare matching service free of charge to area residents, employers, and the Downtown TMA. Policy incorporated herein addresses ridesharing and other TDM strategies as a means of increasing the vehicle occupancy rate. b. *Flexible work hours.* Flexible work hours is a TDM strategy that allows employees to schedule their work hours so as to avoid driving during the peak hours. Flexible work hour strategies include flextime, staggered work hours, and compressed work schedules. These strategies are well-suited to low and medium densities, where traffic congestion is short-lived. Flextime is a TDM strategy allowing employees to choose their work day arrival and departure times that best suit their personal schedules on a daily basis. Staggered work hours means work day arrival and departure times are staggered by the employer according to a predetermined schedule. Employees arrive and depart from work at 15-minute or up to 2-hour intervals. Compressed work schedule means the employees work the usual number of hours each week or pay period, but do so in fewer days. c. *Telecommuting.* Telecommuting is completely independent of densities since employees work at home instead of commuting to work. Constraints on telecommuting relate to the job itself, not its location. Only workers in information-oriented jobs are candidates. d. *Shuttle services.* This TDM strategy uses buses, vans and cars to provide transportation from remote parking locations to the workplace. Such facilities are not available in the City of Hollywood at this time, but may be incorporated into the design of the Hollywood Boulevard Intermodal Station. e. *Parking management.* Parking management can be an effective strategy for maintaining the adopted LOS standard, for improving mobility, and for improving air quality. Parking management strategies include preferred parking, price parking, parking limitations, and shared parking. (1). Preferred parking is a transportation demand management strategy that gives certain users, such as ridersharers and the disabled, the most convenient parking spaces, such as a location closer to the building or a covered parking space. Preferred parking also is used at the Hollywood Boulevard Tri-Rail station which is also served Amtrak. At those terminals, parking spaces closest to the Amtrak terminal are reserved for Amtrak users; parking for Tri-Rail users is located further away. Preferred parking, however, does not provide a financial incentive for the motorist. Consequently, it provides marginal benefit to maintaining the LOS and improving mobility. (2). Price parking has proven to be one of the most effective transportation demand management strategy for maintaining and improving the LOS and mobility. Price parking employs a fee for use of a parking space. Broward County uses price parking at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. For example, at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, short-term hourly parking is located closest to the terminals. Daily parking is located in parking garages near the terminals but on different levels of further away than the short-term parking. The economy lots are further away than the daily parking lots but are cheaper. Finally, the least costly lots, the park and ride lots, are located west of I-95. A shuttle is necessary to get to and from these lots. (3). Parking limitations is another transportation demand management strategy that is effective in maintaining and improving LOS and mobility. Land development regulations typically establish minimum off-street parking requirements far in excess of normal needs, that is, parking requirements are typically set for peak demand. Amending the land development regulations to bring parking supply in line with parking demand could help reduce the number of solo commuters. The City of Hollywood will consider reducing parking requirements for commercial developments in its Land Development Regulations to encourage increased densities and intensities. This in turn will assist in maintaining and improving LOS and mobility. (4). Shared parking is a transportation demand management strategy that occurs when two or more enterprises, such as a retail establishment and an office building, are able to use one combined parking area, either public or privately owned. The City of Hollywood will utilize its Land Development Code to encourage shared parking. f. Corridor Studies. SR-7 In coordination with the MPO and the FDOT, Broward County has taken an active role in the preparation of corridor studies. The City of Hollywood has signed a Joint Participation Agreement with the City of Miramar, Town of Davie, Seminole Nation, FDOT, SFRPC, and Broward County to address economic redevelopment issues related to the proposed widening of SR 7 to six lanes. The State Road 7 Corridor, provided for transit improvements such as bus lanes, express service, and improved passenger and pedestrian amenities. Transit supportive land use and urban design policies have been put in to place to encourage transit – oriented development and redevelopment along the corridor. The SR 7 corridor has also been identified as a transportation corridor of regional significance. ### Hollywood/Pines Boulevard The Hollywood/Pines Boulevard Multimodal Corridor Study was undertaken in 2004 by the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to develop a congestion management system (CMS) plan to enhance travel in the corridor. The CMS plan includes recommended strategies to improve transportation conditions for four primary modes of travel (pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and roadway) plus a multimodal section to integrate efficient transfers between modes into the transportation network. The goal is to develop innovative, yet practical multimodal transportation solutions that support broad social goals such as enhanced community livability and reduced pollution. g. Congestion Management Plan (CMP). Broward County has completed a Congestion Management Plan (CMP). The strategies developed within the Congestion Management Plan gives priority to corridors serving the urban infill area. The CMP includes the following: * Establishment of measures and standards to assess mobility patterns and the performance of roadways and transit systems; * Identification of congested corridors and areas; * Identification of short and long range transportation strategies; * Establishment of a monitoring process to assess the effectiveness of the congestion management strategies. The current CMP also lists projects to mitigate congestion and improve the operational level of service on the corridors. It is organized alphabetically by corridor, and within each corridor, by recommended priority of implementation. The recommended projects are prioritized based on cost effectiveness and on public input; therefore, the Plan is a set of implementable congestion strategies. A cost estimate and a possible funding source, if identified, is listed alongside each project. And these projects also have been presented as candidates for inclusion on Broward County’s priority list in the TIP. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with Broward County MPO to identify and prioritize CMS projects that will benefit the citizens of Hollywood. 4. Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) including the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS). The SIS/FIHS is designed for interregional and intrastate functions. Even though most of the traffic on the SIS/FIHS today is local traffic making trips less than 25 miles in length, it is still vital for FDOT and Broward County to establish methods of monitoring the impacts on the system and strategies to facilitate local traffic to use alternatives to the system to protect its interregional function. a. *SIS/FIHS impacts monitoring report.* Table T-42 shows the peak traffic and volume to capacity ratios along selected FIHS segments for 2005 and 2030 for roadways which transverse the City of Hollywood. The table shows that in 2005 both segments had a volume to capacity ratio exceeding 1.0. In year 2030, both segments again show a volume to capacity ratio exceeding 1.0. **Table T-42** **Peak Hour Traffic and Volume to Capacity Ratio** **for FIHS/SIS Segments within the City of Hollywood** | FIHS/SIS | SEGMENT | 2005 Peak Hour Volume | V/C | 2030 Peak Hour Volume | V/C | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | I-95 | Broward / Miami-Dade County line to Commercial Blvd. | 24,056 | 1.25 | 32,179 | 1.67 | | Florida Turnpike | Broward / Miami-Dade County line to Commercial | 11,443 | 1.14 | 19,077 | 1.40 | | I-595 | I-95 to US 1 | 2,880 | 0.46 | 2,396 | 0.38 | **Source: Appendices 3 – E and 3 - F, Roadway Level of Service Analysis, Broward County Transportation Planning Division, 2006.** b. *Strategies to relieve traffic from the SIS/FIHS* Broward County policy identifies 14 strategies to help relieve SIS/FIHS traffic. Six (6) of the 14 strategies focus on improving transportation facilities that are parallel to SIS/FIHS roads. These strategies are premised on the assumption that improving roads parallel to SIS/FIHS roads will make those roads more attractive as a means of travel. These strategies include improving roadway and public transit LOS, double tracking of the South Florida Rail Corridor, implementation of the congestion management plan, and use of transit-oriented design. Four (4) additional strategies relate to public transit. These include enhancing feeder bus service to Tri-Rail, expanding community/municipal bus service, improving access to transit, and public education. Another strategy provides for connecting discontinuous roadways. Another strategy addresses implementation of an intelligent transportation system (ITS). ITS is the use of technology, in whatever form, to assist motorists in the safe and efficient use of the transportation system. It includes the computerized traffic signal system, a new ITS control center for Broward County, the I-595 Changeable Message Sign System, variable messages signs for the bridge crossings of the intercoastal waterway, cameras for surveillance and vehicle detection, incident management, emergency management, motorist information system via the use of radio on the Florida Turnpike, and transit vehicle locator system, and the Tri-Rail information system. Yet another strategy provides for working with the municipalities to establish public transportation corridors. The designation is an initial step toward the corridor receiving funding and program consideration in subsequent program years to mitigate traffic congestion and further mobility through transit enhancements. c. *Coordination with FDOT.* The final strategy calls for annually monitoring and evaluating the LOS on the SIS/FIHS in order to determine whether the strategies are actually relieving traffic. If not, the policy provides for identifying additional strategies in coordination with the FDOT and the MPO. The City of Hollywood will coordinate with FDOT and MPO to identify and establish public transportation corridors. E. **Consistency between the future land use element and transportation system and with other plans.** This section addresses Rule 9J-5.019(3)(d), FAC, which requires an analysis of the compatibility/consistency of the future land use and transportation elements; Rule 9J-5.019(3)(g), FAC, which requires an analysis that considers the compatibility/consistency of the Transportation Element with the policies and guidelines of other transportation plans; and Rule 9J-5.019(3)(h) and (I), FAC, which requires an analysis of compatibility/consistency with other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. 1. *The Future Land Use Element.* Internal consistency between the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) and the Transportation Element (TE) is maintained. 2. *Broward County Land Use Plan.* The Broward County Charter establishes the Broward County Planning Council (BCPC). The BCPC is responsible for preparing a countywide land use plan, known as the Broward County Land Use Plan (BCLUP), for adoption by the Board of County Commissioners. All municipal future land use elements and map amendments must be consistent with the BCLUP. Because the BCLUP may be considered as an optional future land use element to the Broward County Comprehensive Plan, the FLUE must be internally consistent with the BCLUP. The BCLUP contains a goal, three (3) objectives and numerous policies on coordinating land use and transportation. Through certification of future land use elements subsequent to a DCA determination of compliance, consistency between future land use elements and the transportation system are assured. The Broward County Planning Council, and not the Board of County Commissioners, has exclusive jurisdiction over the Trafficways Plan, a Broward County right-of-way identification map. To accommodate the impacts of new development, right-of-way is required from developing parcels to provide for an adequate regional roadway network. A dedication for at least half of the roadway width that the Broward County Trafficways Plan calls for is normally required at the platting stage. No plat of lands lying within the City of Hollywood may be recorded in the Official Records prior to approval by the City of Hollywood Commission. 3. *Long Range Transportation Plan.* The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is the primary source for identifying priority projects for inclusion in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and guides the expenditure of federal, state, and local transportation funds. It provides a coordinated planning effort to mitigate traffic congestion, minimize reconstruction of existing facilities, and allow for adjustment of growth management policies and transportation strategies. The 2030 LRTP consists of eleven major sections: 1. Public Involvement Plan 3. Data Compilation 5. Needs Assessment, 7. Financial Resources 9. Air Quality 2. Goals and Objectives 4. Model Evaluation 6. ETDM 8. Coast Feasible Plan 10. Environmental Justice 11. Regional Plan The Broward County 2030 LRTP which was adopted by the MPO in December 2004, represents the currently adopted LRTP. The Year 2030 LRTP’s goals, objectives and policies are consistent with the provisions of the Transportation Efficiency Act of the 21 Century (TEA-21) under which 7 specific factors were identified. One of its goals is to provide a balanced multi-modal transportation system with a mixture of roadways and transit services that provides for the local and regional movement of people and good. The Broward County year 2030 LRTP served as the basis for some of the data and analysis used in the development of this document. 4. _Year 2030 Cost Feasible Plan (CFP)_. The Year 2030 CFP, which was adopted by the MPO, is a transportation plan that identifies major capacity-enhancing improvements recommended for implementation based on projected fund availability. The CFP serves as the basis for funding of the county’s roadway and transit programs, bicycle plan, pedestrian plan, and seaport and airport master plans. The allocation of the total funds projected to be available is summarized below: In aggregate, the cost for all of the projects contained in the Cost-Feasible Plan must be within the anticipated revenue that is expected to be available for these projects. The cost for each mode of the Long Range Transportation Plan is summarized in Table T-43. The total cost of $6.513 billion over the 21 years the plan covers (years 2010 to 2030) is consistent with the anticipated revenues. **Table T-43** **Year 2030 Cost Feasible Transportation Plan** | Mode | # Projects | Cost ($000) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Pedestrian | 114 | 22.7 | | Greenway | 4 | 53.2 | | Bicycle | 93 | 100.3 | | Waterborne | 5 | 48.8 | | Transit | 29 | 4,081.20 | | Highway | 83 | 2,126,40 | **Source:** Broward County Year 2030 Long-Range Transportation Plan, Final Report 2005. The TE is consistent with the CFP because the CFP is a component of the LRTP, and the LRTP provided some of the data and analysis used in this document. 5. *Florida Department of Transportation's Adopted Work Program.* Broward County is in the jurisdiction of FDOT's District 4; therefore, FDOT District 4's Work Program for Fiscal Year 2007/08-2011/12 contains Broward County's projects, including the City of Hollywood's projects. 6. *Transportation improvement program (TIP).* The TIP is a comprehensive listing of transportation projects in Broward County scheduled for funding in the next five years. The most recent TIP was adopted on 2006. The TIP is coordinated with the TE indirectly through the CIE, which includes a section on jointly funded programs. 7. *Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Master Plan Update.* Phase 1 of the Airport Master Plan Update was completed in January 2006. Implementation of Phase 2 was approved by the Board of County Commissioners and schedule for completion in 2008. The Master Plan provided the data and analysis included herein on the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as well as the objectives and policies included in the TE. 8. *Port Everglades Master Plan Update.* The Master Plan Update is in the process of being completed. This is scheduled for completion in 2008. 9. *Tri-County Rail Transit Development Plan.* This Plan provided the data and analysis included herein on Tri-Rail as well as the objectives and policies included in the TE. 10. *Broward County Bicycle Facilities Network Plan (BFNP).* The data and analysis included herein, and the TE objectives and policies are based on the Broward County Facilities Network Plan (BFNP). This assures consistent between the plans. 11. *Broward County Five-Year Pedestrian Facilities Development Program, FY 1992/93 - FY 1996/97 (PFDP).* The data and analysis included herein, and the TE objectives and policies are based on the PFDP. This assures consistency between the plans. 12. *Consistency among transportation improvement plans.* Consistency between municipal transportation plans and the TE is indirectly addressed through the Broward County CIE, which includes a section on joint transportation projects. F. **Promoting and supporting public transit in designated public transportation corridors.** Subsection 163.3177(6)(j)8, FS, requires the Transportation Element to address the identification of land use densities, building intensities, and transportation management programs to promote public transportation systems in designated public transportation corridors to encourage population densities sufficient to support such systems. This section addresses land use and building intensities. They address transportation management programs elsewhere. One of the major issues outlined in the City of Hollywood 2005 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) was Developing Transit Oriented Land Uses with Broward County. The County identified that Broward’s population will continue to grow and the vacant land available is not sufficient to accommodate the growing population. Instead of redeveloping existing residential neighborhoods, the County along with its municipalities identified the County’s future transit corridors as areas where redevelopment will occur. 1. *Intergovernmental Coordination.* Broward County held a number of workshops through its EAR process. The EAR workshops were held monthly and focused on the EAR’s major issues. Through these workshops, Broward County and the municipalities worked together to develop two new transit oriented land use categories and one mixed use land use category. 2. *Transit Oriented and Mixed Use Land Uses.* Through the EAR Workshops, the County created three new land uses: * Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) – This category facilitates mixed use development with access along transit service corridors. * Transit Oriented Development (TOD) – This land use category promotes mixed use developments in major transit hubs, regional transit stations (Tri-Rail) and intermodal transportation centers. * Mixed Use Residential (MUR) - This category allows for mixed use in areas without requiring a present or future premium transit connection. 3. *Land Use Intensities.* As part of adopting these land use categories, the County and its municipalities identified the need for intensities for each new land use category. For TOC and TOD, the jurisdiction is required to set the intensity and density standards when the land use amendment is submitted. Like other land use categories such as Regional Activity Centers or City of Hollywood Transportation Element T-97 January 2008 Local Activity Centers, the jurisdiction sets the maximum intensities for each land use in the entire area to be developed into TOC or TOD. For MUR, the County identified four separate intensities: Low 5 Mixed Use, Medium 16 Mixed Use, Medium/High 25 Mixed Use and High 50 Mixed Land Use. 4. *Travel demand forecasting model.* The Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS), maintained by the MPO, was the travel demand forecast model used to model alternative land use intensities. The FSUTMS model is a four stage gravity model. At the most basic level, the typical forecasting model is structured around the following four sequential steps: * Trip Generation - Estimation of number of trips produced by and attracted to each “traffic analysis” zone. * Trip Distribution - Determination of the origin and destination zone for each trip. * Modal Choice - Calculation of number of trips using the different modes of transportation such as auto, transit, walk and others. * Assignment - ALoading@ of auto trips onto the highway network or person trips onto the transit network. *Land Use Inputs.* Land use inputs are addressed in the model by dividing the County into a number of traffic analysis zones (TAZs). A TAZ is a compact geographic area which coincide with census track boundaries and usually bounded by roadways, and physical barriers such as expressway, rivers, canals, or other physical structure that limits the crossing of motorized vehicles. Broward County has 892 TAZs. Two data bases are associated with each TAZ. Data base 1 includes population and housing information, depicting the production side of the trip generation step. Data base 2 comprises employment and school data, displaying the attraction side of the trip generation step. In addition, the model includes information on special generators (i.e., major ports, parks, and shopping malls), internal-external trips for travel across the county lines either south to Miami-Dade County or north to Palm Beach County, and external-external trips for trips passing through Broward County. *Transportation system inputs.* The transportation system inputs include information on roadway geometry (such as number of lanes, facility type, area type etc.). The transit network uses mainly the highway network, and other transit system information such as headway, bus travel speed, bus stops, and bus capacity. The FSUTMS model generates trips at each traffic analysis zone (TAZ) from land use variables (population and employments.) Trips are distributed between zones using gravity concept and friction factors. Trips are then split between highway, transit and other modes using mode choice concept. Highway trips are converted to auto trips using an appropriate auto occupancy rate. Auto trips are assigned to the highway network according to equilibrium concept based on speed and capacity of each highway facility in the network. Before using the model in traffic projection, it should be validated for the most recent year in which travel and census data are available. In Broward County, the model was validated for the year 1990. In the validation process, various coefficients and parameters are developed specifically for the Broward County transportation network such as speed and capacity tables, friction factors, and average auto occupancy rates. Transit coefficients are developed based on current transit market shares. Model runs are made until simulated model output matches the ground count for the year being validated. Then, the validated model coefficients and parameters are applied to future years. In this case, the year 1990 validated model coefficients and parameters were applied to the 2015 network to obtain year 2015 traffic volumes and transit ridership estimates. For the purpose of this analysis, the main variable that was modified in the year 2015 model was the land use data and transit connectivity to affected TAZ’s. IV. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES GOAL It shall be the goal of the City of Hollywood to provide and maintain a sustainable and integrated transportation system which provides modal choices for its residents and visitors and the efficient movement of goods and freight for its existing and future businesses. This goal shall be achieved through the implementation of transportation programs and activities as outlined in the objectives below. Objective 1: In implementing the goals of the City Wide Master Plan, the City of Hollywood shall coordinate with adjacent local governments, Broward County, Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization (BCMPO), Florida Department of Transportation, the South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC), and other appropriate state and federal agencies to develop plans and programs for the City's multimodal transportation system that will: a. Improve safety. b. Provide greater convenience for the traveling public. c. Increase energy efficiency. d. Coordinate with the Florida Transportation Plan and the Florida Department of Transportation’s Adopted Work Program. Policy 1.1.1 On County and Non SIS/FIHS facilities, the City shall adopt the Concurrency Policies instituted by Broward County. According to the Broward County Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Element, the City of Hollywood is comprised of three concurrency Districts. The majority of the city is located within the Southeast Concurrency District, a small portion to the west is located within South Central District and the Airport has its own District. The South East and South Central and Airport are Transit Oriented Concurrency Districts. According to Broward County, a Transit Oriented Concurrency District shall be a compact geographic area with an existing network of roads where multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes are available for common trips. An area-wide level of service standard shall be established for each such District, for the purpose of issuing development orders and permits, based on the quality of transit services within the District. The City of Hollywood shall adopt the following standards for generalized two-way peak-hour roadway level of service (LOS). For local roads–These LOS standards will be established by the City's concurrency management system. See Rule 14-94.003 for Statewide Minimum Level of Service Standards for guidance along SIS/FIHS and TRIP funded roadways, as follows: a. Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS)/Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Roadways: 1. Florida Turnpike and Homestead Extension – D 2. Interstate 95 – E 3. I-595 – D b. Florida Statutes also set standards regarding level of service for Regionally Significant TRIP funded facilities impacted by TCMAs, MMTDs or TCEAs: 1. SR 7/US 441 - D c. The City shall coordinate Level of Service standards and mitigation strategies with the Southeast Florida Transportation Council (created under Florida Statutes Chapter 334.175(5)(i)(2), to serve as a formal forum for policy coordination and communication to carry out regional initiatives of the MPO) on regionally significant transportation facilities within or near the City of Hollywood that could be eligible for TRIP funds: 1. Hallandale Boulevard 2. Hollywood Boulevard/Pines Boulevard 3. Griffin Road 4. Sheridan Street 5. US 1 6. University Drive Policy 1.1.2 For all other County and State roads the city shall adopt the area-wide Transit Level of Service as adopted per the Broward County Transportation Element. Within transit oriented concurrency districts, the transportation LOS standards, for the purpose of issuing development orders and permits, are to achieve and maintain the following by FY 2009: The South East District shall: Achieve headways of 30 minutes or less on 80% of routes, establish at least one neighborhood transit center, and establish at least one additional community bus route. **The South Central District shall:** Achieve headways of 30 minutes or less on 60% of routes. Establish at least one neighborhood transit center. Establish at least one additional community bus route. Expand coverage area to 48 percent. **The Airport/Port District shall:** Establish at least one community bus route The City of Hollywood utilizes the generalized two-way peak hour volumes for Florida’s Urbanized Areas at the LOS “D” standard adopted by Broward County in the 1997 Comprehensive Plan. In the 1989 Traffic Circulation Element, the roadway LOS “D” standard was measured by the average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes; however, state law now requires the LOS standard be measured by peak-hour volumes. The City of Hollywood will continue to use the LOS “D” standard as the roadway concurrency standard for local roadways. Policy 1.1.3 Peak Hour Two Way Maximum Service Volumes | South East /South Central Districts | | | :--- | :--- | | Two Lane arterials | 2,555 | | Four-lane arterials | 5,442 | | Six-lane arterials | 8,190 | | Eight-lane arterials | 10,605 | The City shall adopt standards to provide exemptions to the generalized two-way peak-hour roadway level of service (LOS) standards per Broward County Transportation Policy 3.4.2 (incorporated by reference). These exemptions and amendments to the City's Land Development Code will be reviewed and processed as needed. The concurrency determination is carried out at the Technical Advisory committee/Concurrency Review Committee Level.” Policy 1.1.4 The City shall develop a methodology to allow for the issuance of development orders or permits for projects which have impacts on roadways which exceed the respective roadway LOS standard per Broward County Transportation Element 3.4.3 (incorporated by reference). Mitigation measures and amendments to the City's Land Development code will be processes as needed. Policy 1.2.1 The City shall coordinate with the Broward County Mass Transit Division to obtain the Public Transit Service Level of Service. The Transit Level of Service is for BCT to provide fixed route service to at least 70 percent of all residences and employment locations in the peak hour as identified Broward County Transportation Element. Policy 1.3.1 The City of Hollywood shall develop strategies to identify methods to control the connections and access points of driveways and roads to roadways. These strategies include but are not limited to: a. Utilization of the City's Land Development Code and Broward County Trafficways Plan to assure that all newly platted properties and redeveloped properties have direct access to roadways. b. Utilization of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code to continue to provide for a hierarchy of local roads serving as the access roads to private property. c. Coordinate with the City Engineer, Broward County, and FDOT to educate businesses and residents on the access management requirements (median closures) for new roadway construction and resurface/reconstruction projects. d. Coordinate with the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization to identify barriers, e.g., intersection turning radii, to the free flow of freight and goods within the transportation system, and plan actions to reduce them. e. Coordinate with the City Engineer, Broward County, and FDOT to develop bicycle lanes on roadways. These lanes will be designed to minimize conflict points at the connections and access points of driveways and roads to roadways. f. Coordination with Broward County to develop bus shelters and turn-out bays that minimize conflict points at the connections and access points of driveways and roads to roadways. Policy 1.4.1 The City shall coordinate the establishment of transportation demand management (TDM) programs with Broward County, the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization, Broward County Mass Transit Division, South Florida Regional Transit Authority and Florida Department of Transportation, including South Florida Commuter Services. The goal of such programs will be to modify peak hour travel demand and reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled per capita within the community and region. The City shall, in coordination with the MPO and other agencies, as well as the private and non-profit sectors, influence the amount and demand for transportation by encouraging alternatives to the single-occupant automobile and by altering local peak hour travel demand with TDM program implementation. TDM implementation shall include, but not be limited to, the following programs, activities, or actions: a. Support federal legislation providing for construction of energy efficient and environmentally benign vehicles. b.

INTRODUCTION A. Element Purpose The purpose of the Housing Element is to: 1) identify existing and projected deficits in the supply of housing for different income levels; 2) analyze housing trends and the causes, scope and nature of any housing problems, and 3) develop appropriate plans, programs and policies to bring about the accomplishment of the required housing, whether through private sector efforts, non-profits, public-private partnerships or the public sector. The data contained in the Housing Element is based upon figures provided by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the Broward County Department of Planning and the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. The Element is designed to meet the needs of the City of Hollywood, Florida, while at the same time satisfying the requirements of Chapter 163, F.S. and Rule 9J-5, FAC. This element first provides a summary overview of housing conditions, examining such special housing needs as very low, low and moderate income family housing, group homes, mobile homes, government supported housing and historically significant housing. Next, the analysis section examines the City's population and housing projections as well as the private sector and the housing supply. The goals, objectives and policies are set forth in the third section of the Housing Element. B. Residential Growth Trends The history of Hollywood is described in a book by Virginia Elliott Teneick, who has written about the development of Hollywood. "Hollywood-by-the-Sea", is the "dream city" of Joseph W. Young. Created at the beginning of the Florida land boom in the early 1920's, Hollywood is one of the few developments which grew out of mangrove swamp, palmetto stands and pine woods to survive the economic and physical setbacks which doomed the state's boom-born towns and subdivisions. Hollywood began to develop in 1921 and became the seventh largest City in the State by 1966. Following World War II, however, private construction of every type began shattering records. In 1945, the permanent population of Hollywood was 7,500 and by 1950 it had reached 14,351 or almost doubled in five years. Population increased 147% between 1950 and 1960 reaching 35,580. An even more dramatic population increase of over 200% (from 35,580 to 106,873) occurred between 1960 and 1970. The estimated population for Hollywood in 1978 was 119,000. Today, the City of Hollywood has achieved build-out. The City is undergoing redevelopment throughout its neighborhoods and around its major roadway corridors. This consists of both small, infill development and large, mixed-use projects to provide spaces for people to live, work and play. Hollywood has responded to its Housing Element by meeting its fair share of affordable housing and providing strategies for investing in public improvements and programs that have acted as a catalyst for private investment and redevelopment in the City. With an expected population increase between now and 2025, demand for affordable housing will grow proportionally. The County’s unmet demand may rise to over 300,000 households by 2025. The City will rely on public and/or private partnerships to continue to meet future affordable housing needs. Also, with an aging housing stock and infrastructure system, the City will face the challenge of protecting existing neighborhoods and preserving the housing stock. Additionally, the expansion of mixed-use areas such as the Regional Activity Center (RAC) will help to alleviate these demands. Based on data compiled by the City as part of the proposed expansion of the RAC designation, it is anticipated there will be 12,100 additional residential units within this area (1,486 acres) of the City alone. A review of recent housing developments within the City suggests the construction of 3,867 affordable housing units over the next 10 years is viable to accommodate the current and future demand of affordable housing. ## II. INVENTORY ### A. Characteristics of the Housing Stock: County-wide and City-wide, 2005 The overall characteristics of Hollywood's housing stock when compared to that of Broward County are very similar. The following text describes the similarities of Hollywood's housing stock as well as that of Broward County. #### Type of Dwelling Units The characteristics of the housing stock in the City of Hollywood does not differ significantly from the overall housing stock of Broward County. Each type of unit in both the County and City and show similar differences in percentages. Table 1 and Table 2 below show the number of units, the percentage of the housing stock, and type of units in 2005 in both the City of Hollywood and Broward County. TABLE 1 TYPE OF UNITS, CITY OF HOLLYWOOD 2005 | Units in Structure | Total Units | Percent | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | One Detached | 31,168 | 43.5 | | One Attached | 3,741 | 5.2 | | Two | 3,564 | 5.0 | | Three or Four | 3,154 | 4.4 | | Five to Nine | 3,096 | 4.3 | | Ten to Nineteen | 4,324 | 6.0 | | Twenty to Forty-Nine | 21,067 | 29.4 | | Mobile Home | 705 | 1.0 | | Boat, RV, van, etc. | 885 | 1.2 | | Totals | 71,704 | 100.0 | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey 2005, Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 07/07 The single family units in the City of Hollywood in 2005, which is comprised of attached and detached one unit structures, made up 48.7% of the overall housing stock as shown in Table 1. Table 2 demonstrates that in Broward County, 49.3% of the housing stock in 2005 was made up of single family units. The duplex units in the City of Hollywood made up 5% of the total housing stock. This is comparable to the duplex units in Broward County which made up 3.1%. In both Broward County and the City of Hollywood, the multi-family housing stock, consisting of three or more dwelling units, makes up about half of all the housing stock. In Hollywood, this amount equals 44.1% and in Broward County, this equals 47.6%. Mobile home units comprised a small percentage in both the City and the County. In Hollywood, mobile home units made up 1% of the overall housing stock, while in the County, 3.1% of the housing stock was mobile homes. TABLE 2: TYPE OF UNITS, BROWARD COUNTY 2005 | Units in Structure | Total Units | Percent | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | One Detached | 329,142 | 41.6 | | One Attached | 60,503 | 7.7 | | Two | 24,477 | 3.1 | | Three or Four | 37,173 | 4.7 | | Five to Nine | 40,833 | 5.2 | | Ten to Nineteen | 59,614 | 7.5 | | Twenty to Forty-Nine | 213,713 | 27.0 | | Mobile Home | 24,490 | 3.1 | | Boat, RV, van, etc. | 363 | .1 | | Totals | 790,308 | 100.0 | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey 2005, Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 07/07 ### Owner-Occupied and Renter-Occupied Dwelling Units The 2005 U.S. Census American Community Survey reported that 37,656 or 64% of the City's housing stock is owner-occupied. Broward County's percent of occupied units is similar to the City of Hollywood's. Table 3 describes the tenure characteristics of the housing stock in both the City of Hollywood and Broward County. **TABLE 3: TENURE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOUSING STOCK, CITY OF HOLLYWOOD, 2005** | Tenure | Hollywood | Broward County | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Units | Units | | Year-round housing units | 71,704 | 790,308 | | Occupied housing units | 59,170 | 687,331 | | Owner-occupied units | 37,656 | 481,133 | | Renter-occupied units | 21,514 | 206,198 | | Vacant housing units | 12,534 | 102,977 | | Vacant for sale | 2,457 | 15,240 | | Vacant for rent | 1,391 | 16,476 | | Rented or sold but not occupied | 389 | 6,179 | | Seasonal or occasional use | 7,420 | 59,315 | | Other vacant | 877 | 5,767 | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey 2005, Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 07/07 In relation to total housing stock, the City (83%) had a year-round housing unit occupancy rate slightly lower to that of Broward County (87%) as a whole. In 2005, the City experienced an overall housing vacancy rate (i.e. 17%) higher than the countywide rate of 13%. This concludes that the supply of housing is meeting the demand. However, this number is also greatly affected by the seasonal population, which is larger in Hollywood than in Broward County. ### The Age of the Housing Stock According to Table 4, building activity in Hollywood began decreasing in the 1970s, while Table 5 indicates Broward County’s number of dwelling units began to decrease during the 1980s. There was a sharp drop in new housing units in Hollywood during the 1980s, which was not experienced in Broward County until 2000. This is probably due to the availability of land in Broward County as opposed to Hollywood. The result is that the housing stock in Hollywood is generally older than the County’s housing stock. **TABLE 4: NUMBER AND PERCENTAGE OF DWELLING UNITS** **BY AGE, CITY OF HOLLYWOOD** | Year Structure Built | Number of Units | Percentage of Total | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2000-2004 | 2,244 | 3.1 | | 1990-1999 | 4,432 | 6.2 | | 1980-1989 | 6,800 | 9.5 | | 1970-1979 | 16,602 | 23.2 | | 1960-1969 | 22,310 | 31.1 | | 1950-1959 | 16,313 | 22.8 | | 1940-1949 | 1,792 | 2.5 | | 1939 or earlier | 1,211 | 1.7 | | Total Units | 71,704 | 100 .0 | | Median Year Built | 1965 | | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey 2005, Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 07/07 **TABLE 5: NUMBER AND PERCENTAGE OF DWELLING UNITS** **BY AGE, BROWARD COUNTY** | Year Structure Built | Number of Units | Percentage of Total | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2000-2004 | 56,481 | 7.2 | | 1990-1999 | 136,392 | 17.3 | | 1980-1989 | 144,554 | 18.4 | | 1970-1979 | 223,973 | 28.5 | | 1960-1969 | 136,118 | 17.3 | | 1950-1959 | 73,856 | 9.4 | | 1940-1949 | 9,785 | 1.2 | | 1939 or earlier | 5,277 | .7 | | Total Units | 786,436 | 100.0 | | Median Year Built | 1975 | | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey 2005, Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 07/07 ### The Cost of Housing: Rent, Value, and Monthly Cost of Occupied Units The cost of housing in Hollywood and Broward County is similar, although overall, the housing in Hollywood tends to be less expensive. Tables 6 and 7 show the similarities in 2005 between the City and the County concerning the median rent of renter-occupied housing, the median value of owner-occupied housing, and the median monthly cost of owner-occupied housing. TABLE 6: THE COST OF HOUSING: MONTHLY GROSS RENT OF SPECIFIED RENTER-OCCUPIED UNITS 2005 | | Hollywood | Broward County | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | **Gross Monthly Rent Range** | **Units** | **Percent** | **Units** | **Percent** | | Less than $200 | 0 | 0 | 2,397 | 1.1 | | $200–$299 | 491 | 2.3 | 2,126 | 1.0 | | $300–$499 | 898 | 4.2 | 5,816 | 2.8 | | $500–$749 | 5,981 | 27.8 | 36,302 | 17.6 | | $750–$999 | 5,972 | 27.8 | 65,932 | 32.0 | | $1,000–$1,499 | 5,136 | 23.9 | 63,363 | 30.7 | | $1,500 or more | 2,231 | 10.4 | 22,788 | 11.1 | | No cash rent | 805 | 3.7 | 7,474 | 3.6 | | Totals | 21,514 | 100 | 206,198 | 100 | | Median rent per month | \multicolumn{2}{c|}{$874} | \multicolumn{2}{c|}{$951} | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey 2005, Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 07/07 The median monthly gross rent for renter-occupied units in Hollywood was an estimated $874 per month in 2005, compared to $951 per month for Broward County. Approximately 34.4% of rents within the City were less than $750 per month, while 22.5% of rents within the County as a whole were less than $750 per month. Comparative monthly owner cost data for Broward County and Hollywood are presented in Table 7. The 2005 median cost of owner-occupied housing in Hollywood was $1,444 per month for those units with a mortgage, and a median cost of $483 per month for those units not mortgaged. In Broward County, the median cost per month for those units with a mortgage is higher than the City, but slightly lower than the City for those owner-occupied units without a mortgage. Again, this demonstrates that the City has more affordable housing than the County.

The estimated median value of owner-occupied units reported in 2005 was $239,900 in the City compared to $245,200 for Broward County. Approximately 37% of owner-occupied units within the City were valued at less than $200,000. **TABLE 8: THE VALUE OF ALL OWNER-OCCUPIED** **HOUSING UNITS 2005** | | Hollywood | | Broward County | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Value Range** | **Units** | **Percent** | **Units** | **Percent** | | Less than $50,000 | 1,458 | 3.9 | 20,634 | 4.3 | | $50,000–$99,000 | 3,430 | 9.1 | 43,166 | 9.0 | | $100,000–$149,999 | 3,427 | 9.1 | 51,793 | 10.8 | | $150,000–$199,999 | 5,478 | 14.5 | 64,235 | 13.4 | | $200,000–$299,999 | 9,885 | 26.3 | 106,527 | 22.1 | | $300,000–$499,999 | 10,052 | 26.7 | 131,380 | 27.3 | | $500,000–$999,999 | 3,301 | 8.8 | 53,990 | 11.2 | | $1,000,000 or more | 625 | 1.7 | 9,408 | 2.0 | | Totals | 37,656 | 100 | 481,133 | 100 | | Median value | \$239,900 | | \$245,200 | | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey 2005, Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 07/07 Income Ratio for Owner-Occupied and Renter-Occupied Housing Units The Florida Department of Community Affairs has concluded that affordable gross housing costs should fall below 30% of a family’s income. As a result, a gross housing cost-to-income ratio of more than 30% is indicative of an excessive household expenditure (i.e. termed “cost burden”) for housing costs, while a ratio of more than 50% is termed “severe cost burden.” Table 9 demonstrates a comparative cost burden of Hollywood and Broward County. From Table 10, 12,995 renter-occupied households, or approximately 60% of the total renters in 2005, were faced with a 30% or more cost burden and approximately 49% of owner occupied households with a mortgage paid more than 30% of household income for gross housing costs. Approximately 32% of all owner occupied households, with and without a mortgage, paid over 30% of their income on gross housing costs. TABLE 9: 2005 COMPARATIVE COST BURDEN CHARACTERISTICS | A.

Characteristics of the Existing Housing Stock by Planning Districts In this section of the Housing Element, the characteristics of the existing housing stock will be presented by Planning Districts. For each planning district, there is a boundary description followed by a description of the existing housing stock. Planning District I Boundary Description for Planning District I. This planning district is bounded on the north by Port Road, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean (except for a piece of land located at the easternmost end of Dania Beach Boulevard), west to the Intracoastal Waterway, then north to Sheridan Street and west to the Hollywood City Limits located approximately at 12th Street, then north along the City limits line to Port Road. Description of the Existing Housing Stock in Planning District I In Planning District I, the majority of the housing stock is made up of multi-family dwelling units. Most of these multi-family units are renter-occupied which includes a large number of hotel rooms, a large amount of seasonal housing, and rental and condominium units. These units are unique in that Planning District I's eastern boundary is beachfront, lending itself to a resort nature. The highest number of dwelling units in Planning District I were built between 1970 and 1980. From 1960 to 1969, the second highest number of units were built. Refer to Table 4 for the number and percentage of dwelling units by age in the City of Hollywood starting from 1939 or earlier to 1980. By comparing the cost of housing in Hollywood throughout the six planning districts, it is evident that Planning District I had the highest median rent. These units are more expensive because of Planning District I's resort nature. Planning District II Boundary Description for Planning District II Planning District II is bounded on the north by Sheridan Street, to the east by the Intracoastal Waterway, to the south by Hollywood City limits and to the west by Dixie Highway. Description of the Existing Housing Stock in Planning District II This Planning District is made up of the oldest sections of the City. The eastern half is composed of predominantly single family which includes some of the most expensive homes in the City. There are multi-family complexes and a mix of single family as well. This area is strongly oriented to resort type housing with a long term orientation rather than the short term tourist orientation of Planning District I. The areas in the western half of Planning District II include a commercial and industrial area located between two heavily trafficked roads, Downtown Hollywood, and large numbers of older multi-family units. The revitalization efforts experienced in Young Circle and the downtown has attracted a resurgence in new residential development projects in this planning district. ### Planning District III *Boundary Description of Planning District III* Planning District III is bounded on the north by Stirling Road, to the east by Dania's City limits south to Sheridan Street and then south along Dixie Highway, to the south of Pembroke Road, and to the west by I-95. *Description of the Existing Housing Stock in Planning District III* In Planning District III there is a large number of older units consisting of single family, multi-family, duplex and apartments. This district has the lowest median income and median family income among the planning districts. It is also the most affordable area based on both the income in the planning district and the relative value of housing. ### Planning District IV *Boundary Description for Planning District IV* Planning District IV is bounded on the north by Stirling Road, to the east by I-95, to the south by Pembroke Road and to the west by 56th Avenue. *Description of the Existing Housing Stock in Planning District IV* The basic character of the housing stock in this planning district is single family. There is some multi-family in the southern portion. This district also has the newest housing stock in the City. This district includes the Sheridan Stationside project, which is a large scale, mixed-use Transit Oriented Development. This project proposes a mix of housing types, including work-force housing and townhouse development. The project will redevelop an existing Tri-Rail station and provide a true Transit Oriented Development environment for the City. ### Planning District V *Boundary Description for Planning District V* Planning District V is bounded on the north by Stirling Road, to the east by 56th Avenue, to the south by Pembroke Road, and to the west by the Florida Turnpike and the westernmost boundary of the Seminole Indian Reservation. *Description of the Existing Housing Stock in Planning District V* There is a mix of single family, multi-family and duplex housing in Planning District V. An area in the southern portion has a mix of single family along with industrial and commercial uses. This area includes the 441 corridor, which is expected to undergo much revitalization. The Millennium Mall, which is included in this Planning District, is anticipated to be redeveloped into a mixed-use neighborhood including a range of housing. Planning District VI *Boundary Description of Planning District VI* Planning District VI is bounded on the north by the Hollywood City limits line, to the east by the Seminole Indian Reservation and south along the Florida Turnpike, then west along Hollywood Boulevard, and to the west by the Hollywood City limits. *Description of the Existing Housing Stock in Planning District VI* The housing stock in Planning District VI is almost entirely made up of moderately affordable single family, owner-occupied homes. This Planning District includes the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, which has brought new development opportunities to this area. Most of the 441 corridor surrounding the facility is underutilized land, which has large development potential and should be further explored. # C. Condition of the Housing Stock There are several measures which can be used to evaluate housing stock and living conditions within the City, including age of structure, over-crowding, lack of certain necessary facilities, structural integrity, and Florida Building Code requirements. Specific indicators of substandard housing or living conditions for each of the above measures are as follows: * **Age of Structure**—A housing unit constructed prior to 1950, which is valued at less than $25,000. * **Lacking Facilities**—A housing unit lacking complete plumbing facilities, heating and cooking facilities and/or complete kitchen facilities. * **Over-Crowding**—1.01 persons per room or more within a dwelling unit is a generally accepted standard that can be applied using Census data. Further, Chapter 157.16 (“Space”) of the City Code establishes minimum space requirements for dwelling units. ## External Housing Conditions * A housing unit may be categorized as either of the following by the City of Hollywood *Deteriorated:* The condition or appearance of a building, or parts thereof, characterized by holes, breaks, rot, crumbling, cracking, peeling, rusting or other evidence of physical decay, neglect or lack of maintenance. *Dilapidated:* A condition of structural disrepair or deterioration to the extent requiring rehabilitation, reconstruction or demolition. * **Code Violations**—The City has adopted the Florida Building Code. Chapter 151.200 of the City Code provides mechanisms for removing unsafe structures. The following discussion outlines the rationale used for preparing a discussion of “standard” and “substandard” living conditions. It is observed that there were 3,003 units (4.2% of the housing stock in 2005) within the City that were constructed prior to 1950. Further, there were 1,458 owner-occupied units (3.9% of the total) in Hollywood valued at less than $50,000 in 2005. It is concluded that “age of structure” and “value,” in combination, indicates that substandard living and housing conditions may be a minor issue in the City. As a result, the City should continue code enforcement and conservation efforts as a means to preserve the City’s affordable housing stock. An over-crowded condition is normally defined to occur when there are more than 1.01 persons per room in a dwelling unit (Note: excluding bathrooms, open porches, utility rooms, unfinished attics, etc.; rooms not used for “living” purposes). According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, in the year 2000 there were an estimated 5,017 households, or 8.4% of the City’s total, reporting occupancy of more than 1.0 person per room in Hollywood, compared to a statewide percentage of 6.5%. However, the City’s occupancy rate is comparable to the countywide percentage, which is 7.4%. Due to the rate of over-crowding it is concluded that over-crowding may continue to be an issue regarding overall substandard living and housing conditions within the City. The Shimberg Center reported high percentages of the year-round housing stock in 2000 that had complete plumbing facilities (99.6%) and complete kitchen facilities (99.4%). Due to the high level of availability, it is concluded that “lack of facilities” does not, in itself, raise any issues regarding overall substandard living and housing conditions within the City. ### D. Subsidized Housing Developments **Community Development Block Grant Programs** Department of Housing and Community Development provides funding under Title I, Housing and Community Development Act, as amended 1974, and the State SHIP program. The following housing assistance programs are offered to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing to low and moderate income residents of the City of Hollywood. **Available Programs** The Housing Rehabilitation Program provides assistance to income qualified owner-occupied households to improve and preserve the existing housing stock in Hollywood. There are three options for residents to rehabilitate their homes under this program. One is through deferred payment loans, the second is by direct payment loans, and the third is through emergency loans to repair conditions that threaten the health, safety or welfare of the occupants. The Replacement Housing Program offers replacement housing costs to owner occupants whose properties are not able to be rehabilitated under the Housing Rehabilitation Program. Such activity may include, but is not limited to real property acquisition by CDBG funded sub-recipients, concentrated code enforcement, demolition and housing rehabilitation. Replacement housing benefits will be offered as a direct payment loan as payment for construction of new housing on existing owner-occupied property, or for the purchase of comparable safe, decent and sanitary housing within Hollywood. The Housing Counseling Program provides counseling and advice to families who are currently benefiting from HUD-related housing programs. The program is comprehensive to include housing rehabilitation recipients, rehab loan delinquencies, and mortgage default counseling. Counseling areas include money management, rent and purchase procedures, home management, property care and maintenance and referrals to community resources. The First Time Buyers Program assists income eligible families to become owners in Hollywood. The Lease Purchase Program provides assistance along with the Hollywood Housing Authority to place families with credit or other financial difficulties onto a homeownership track. Public Housing The housing units in Hollywood that are provided through governmental subsidies include 120 public housing units, as described in Table 14.

The City assists the non-profit agency Liberia Economic Society, Inc. (LES), in providing single-family homes in low income neighborhoods by purchasing vacant lots and deeding them to the agency. Since 1981, LES has completed over 260 new single-family, a multi-family housing complex of 64 units and completed the Crispus Commons Housing Project. E. Group Homes The provision for Group Homes in the City of Hollywood includes Adult Living Facilities (ALFs) as well as Children, Adolescent, and Family Homes. Within the City of Hollywood, there are a total of nineteen group homes. The following Table (Table 15) is an aggregate inventory of group homes by type, number, and capacity.

Historically Significant Housing Unlike many South Florida cities, Hollywood is fortunate to have a concentration of historic, well-maintained structures. Properties considered to be of historical and architectural significance were the subject of a windshield survey in Hollywood conducted for the Historic Broward Preservation Board in 1979. The study results revealed a distribution of historic residences from the 1920-1930 period primarily located along the City's original east-west thoroughfare, Hollywood Boulevard. Many of the residences date back to the beginning of Hollywood and reflect a variety of architectural styles, such as Mission, Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean and Art Modern. The results of the 1979 survey were useful in providing a preliminary indication of historically significant structures in the eastern part of Hollywood. The survey also facilitated further research, in the form of a comprehensive inventory based upon primary and secondary sources such as family records, photographs, and maps. Because of the abundance of remaining historic resources in Hollywood, such an inventory was commissioned in July of 1980, and volunteers are presently updating the list. The comprehensive inventory will serve as a basis for certifying eligibility for tax incentives under the Tax Reform Act of 1976 as amended and/or designating historic sites and districts that could be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Presently, all major historical sites in Hollywood are on the State list of historical sites and have plaques identifying them as such. Since this time, the City has been proactive in identifying additional historic districts, such as the Hollywood Beach Historic Overlay District (HPOD-3), which consists of all properties from Sherman to Jefferson east of Surf Road, including the Hollywood Beach Hotel. The City has also adopted historic design guidelines to provide for sensitive, high-quality development in historic areas. Table 18 provides a list of City-designated historic sites.

Housing Construction Activity** The 2005 EAR reported that there was approximately .74 of a square mile of remaining vacant area in the City. This includes some small infill parcels. However, the City is undergoing large amounts of redevelopment. The following projects are either proposed future development or already have applications for development submitted to the City: 1. Sheridan Stationside Village 2. Millennium Mall 3. Adams Street Project 4. Infill projects within the Regional Activity Center and Local Activity Center III. ANALYSIS A. Population and Housing Projections The City of Hollywood's population and housing projections are based on projections provided by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, Broward County and the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing. An analysis of these projections indicates that the number of persons per household (PPH) in 2005 reported by the US Census Bureau, is approximately 2.34. This figure is slightly lower than Broward County's figure of 2.56. The projections for housing needs were derived from the population and dwelling unit data provided in Tables 19 through 21. A comparison of this information against what has been and is likely to occur in the near future shows that in 2005, the need for housing has been adequately met with the supply. This trend is expected to continue with the large redevelopment projects scheduled for completion. Furthermore, smaller infill projects will also help to remedy this situation. Maintaining the existing housing stock will also provide an affordable solution for housing. Due to the build out of Hollywood and Broward County as a whole, there is expected to be an increase in housing need experienced in the City. Table 19 provides projections of housing need from 2005 through 2025. **TABLE 19: HOUSING NEED PROJECTIONS** **2005-2025** | | 2005 | 2010 | 2015 | 2020 | 2025 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Population** | 143,026 | 148,843 | 151,137 | 152,179 | 152,752 | | **Housing Units** | 71,704 | 71,656 | 75,720 | 76,242 | 76,529 | | **Households** | 59,170 | 62,068 | 63,024 | 63,459 | 63,698 | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey, 2005; Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 7/07 The above analysis was completed with Census data.

Table 20 provides data from Broward County and projects the 2025 population of Hollywood as 232,567 residents. **TABLE 20: 5-10 YEAR POPULATION ESTIMATES** **AND PROJECTION CHANGES 1995-2025** **CITY OF HOLLYWOOD AND BROWARD COUNTY** | | 2006 | 2010 | 2015 | 2020 | 2025 | 2030 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **City of Hollywood** | 146,229 | 153,007 | 162,016 | 172,106 | 184,877 | 193,812 | | **Broward County** | 1,792,144 | 1,902,536 | 2,034,371 | 2,154,348 | 2,251,003 | 2,319,797 | Source: Broward County Population Forecasting Model (BCPFM), 2006 These large disparities in population make it difficult to adequately plan for future growth. Although the Census attempts to provide updated information in the 2005 American Community Survey, Broward County’s population figures may be more in tuned with the pulse of the current environment in the City of Hollywood. The County’s numbers should be given serious consideration in planning for future growth. Based on the Census data, the number of households is expected to grow by 4,528 households, with the assumption the historical single-family versus multiple-family split is maintained. This is demonstrated in Table 21. Housing stock projections are provided in Table 22 from 2010 through 2025. ### TABLE 21: RESIDENT HOUSEHOLD GROWTH PROJECTIONS | Growth Period | Resident Household Growth | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Rented Units | Owned Units | | 2005-2010 | 1,044 | 1,855 | | 2010-2015 | 344 | 611 | | 2015-2020 | 156 | 279 | | 2020-2025 | 86 | 153 | | Total Growth 2005–2025 | 1,630 | 2,898 | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey, 2005; Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 7/07 ### TABLE 22: TOTAL HOUSING STOCK PROJECTIONS (2010-2020) | Residential Density | Projected Housing Units by Year | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 2010 | 2015 | 2020 | 2025 | | Single-Family[^p284-1] | 39,411 | 41,646 | 41,933 | 42,091 | | Multiple-Family[^p284-2] | 32,245 | 34,074 | 34,309 | 34,438 | | Total Units | 71,656 | 75,720 | 76,242 | 76,529 | [^p284-1]: Growth consists of attached and detached one family and two family [^p284-2]: Growth consists of more than two family Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, American Community Survey, 2005; Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 7/07 ### Housing Needs by Income Group, Size, Type and Tenure Table 23 provides an analysis of household growth based on income group. This analysis was completed using modified numbers from the Shimberg center for Affordable Housing. From Tables 23, 24 and 25, it is concluded that the largest growth projected in Hollywood will be from the moderate income group. This growth may be tied to the age range projected during this time period, which consists mainly of working aged residents.

It is concluded that each of these sectors will continue to provide housing necessary to accommodate projected population growth throughout the long-range planning period. It is anticipated non-profits will continue to participate in the construction and management of public housing within the City. The City and CRA’s role in public housing, including the maintenance and rehabilitation of the housing stock, will continue. The City’s and the CRA’s roles as affordable housing facilitators will likely increase, as the local housing assistance and expedited permitting programs are implemented.

Growth of this particular group is positive for Hollywood since it contains the majority of employed residents in the City. Table 27 describes this growth and the distribution of population by age group. ### TABLE 27 ### 2000-2020 POPULATION PROJECTIONS BY AGE GROUP DISTRIBUTION | Age | Year (population) | | | Growth | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Group (years)** | **2000** | **2010** | **2020** | **2000-2020** | | 0-4 | 8,225 | 8,782 | 8,978 | 753 | | 5-9 | 8,480 | 9,079 | 9,283 | 803 | | 10-14 | 8,256 | 8,782 | 8,978 | 722 | | 15-19 | 7,533 | 8,038 | 8,218 | 685 | | 20-34 | 26,929 | 28,727 | 29,370 | 2,441 | | 35-59 | 49,797 | 53,137 | 54,327 | 4,530 | | 60-74 | 17,081 | 18,308 | 18,718 | 1,637 | | 75+ | 13,056 | 13,991 | 14,305 | 1,249 | | Totals | 139,357 | 148,843 | 152,177 | 12,820 | Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2000; Calvin, Giordano & Assoc.; 7/07 B. Future of the Existing Housing Stock As shown in the inventory, much of the existing housing stock in Hollywood is in basically sound condition with less than 1% in substandard condition. Planning Districts II, III and V have relatively large numbers of older residential structures. The problems in these areas are, and will continue to be addressed via the Great Neighborhoods Program, the Safe Neighborhoods Program, Community Development Programs and Code Enforcement. This will maintain the existing housing stock, which can be preserved for future affordable housing needs. C. Allowance for Vacancies Calculating vacancy rates in Hollywood is difficult due to the number of units that may be used for either year round or seasonal rentals and the seasonal fluctuations in population. Fortunately, these same factors will provide a cushioning effect if demand for housing does increase by being able to use some of the units that are now seasonal for year-round housing. In 2005, the City experienced an overall housing vacancy rate (i.e. 17%) higher than the countywide rate of 13%. This concludes that the supply of housing is meeting the demand, even though seasonal units are included. D. Land Requirements The City has experienced large amounts of development within its Regional Activity Center, which includes Downtown Hollywood, and its Local Activity Center. The City has been proactive in identifying the need to plan ahead for future development and for the possibility of a large increase in population. The City is totally built out and has less than one square mile of vacant buildable area; however, due to the age of the existing development and large portions of underdeveloped properties, Hollywood can continue to undergo redevelopment efforts so that its future population can be accommodated. E. The Private Sector and Housing Supply The number, type, tenure and other features of the local supply of new housing in Hollywood as indicated by permit and site plan activity has varied greatly each year depending on what large projects are in progress. The aggregate numbers indicate a fairly steady and varied supply of housing available via the private sector. A close examination of the proposed site plans, proposals and available vacant parcels indicates this will continue to be the case. The areas where the private sector may not provide the type of housing that will be needed without intervention are in the downtown area. The provision of low income housing and larger units for younger families is more appropriate in other sections of the City. The private sector housing delivery process is affected by the availability of financing, land and services. The City of Hollywood is essentially a well developed city with no large tracts of land available for future development. Therefore, redevelopment is more prevalent than new development within Hollywood. Currently, Hollywood is attracting quality and diverse condominium and mixed-use projects throughout its boundaries. Some of these projects include the Villas of Positano, an upscale mixed-use, 62-unit beachfront development along SR A1A (Ocean Drive) and the redevelopment of the Crystal Lakes Community, an affordable 190-unit apartment development, 6 single-family residences and community facility center, proposed by the Broward Housing Authority. In addition, Tango Gardens is an owner-occupied, 60 unit townhouse project on Adams Street and the Wiley Street Redevelopment Project includes 40 new owner-occupies townhouses. Other projects that are currently in the process of obtaining approvals include Sheridan Stationside Village, a 1,050 unit mixed-use project including workforce housing that will be a true transit community with a rail component and the Adams Street project, a mixed-use community of 85 condominiums and townhomes with retail space. In addition, a 231-condominium mixed-use project along Hollywood Boulevard known as Radius is under final site plan and concurrency review, along with phase one (214 units) and phase two (139 units) of Hollywood Station, comprised of 353 condominium units. Hollywood’s efforts to provide affordable housing strategies for investing in public improvements and programs have acted as a catalyst for private investment and redevelopment in the City. The City also wishes to expand its Regional Activity Center. This would provide Hollywood with approximately 16,100 additional residential units available for development within the RAC. These units will be developed within the urban core of the City, allowing residents to ‘live where they work.’ ### Elimination of Substandard Housing and the Structural and Aesthetic Improvement of Housing The City of Hollywood has a number of existing and newly created programs which provide the means to eliminate substandard housing, improve the structural and aesthetic quality housing and to improve neighborhoods in general. The 2005 United States Census American Community Survey stated the majority of residential structures are over 30 years old. Most are maintained at a sufficient standard, indicating the majority of structures over 30 years old are not substandard. Only a minor amount of structures have been found in substandard conditions. The City has a number of mechanisms for addressing this issue, which are stated below. According to the City of Hollywood Five Year Consolidated Plan, FY2004/2005 through 2008/2009, the City will conduct a Housing Rehabilitation and Replacement Program using a combination of Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME), State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The Housing Rehabilitation Program staff conducts workshops for applicants on credit counseling and home maintenance. In addition, program staff performs an evaluation of repairs, bids the job to pre-qualified contractors, and finances the housing repair or replacement of a home past the point of repair. Depending upon income level, a resident may receive housing rehabilitation financing in the form of a 0% or 3% interest deferred payment loan. The program also addresses overcrowding. If an applicant is in an overcrowded situation, program staff may facilitate the construction of additional bedrooms where necessary. Neighborhood Resource Specialists shall affirmatively market the housing rehabilitation program, targeting neighboring homes in the area of other on-going housing activities. Specialists shall also conduct annual inspections of previously rehabilitated properties and direct residents to other support agencies to aid families in remaining in their homes. The City has been successful in improving substandard housing through the following programs: a. *Preservation of Existing Single Family Neighborhoods: Madison/Adams Task Force* - a comprehensive pilot program examining all aspects of this issue. b. *The Safe Neighborhoods Program* - funded by a state grant and matching local funds. This program addresses all aspects of this issue as well as land use and other planning concerns related to crime reduction. c. *Demolitions* - as required by rulings of the City's Unsafe Structures Board. The City of Hollywood, through the Unsafe Structures Board, has an inspection program to determine if dwelling units are uninhabitable. If a dwelling unit is determined unsafe, the property owner is responsible for removal of the structure. d. *Low and Moderate Income Assistance Programs* - funded by Community Development Block Grant Funds, as well as state SHIP funds. These programs provide the means of structural and aesthetic improvements to housing in low and moderate income areas. The programs are as follows: - Housing Rehabilitation Program - First Time Home Buyer - Replacement Housing Program - Lease/Purchase Program Low and Moderate Income Assistance Programs, such as HOPE, SHIP, and CDBG are still operating in the City. The Madison/Adams Task Force and the Safe Neighborhoods Program are no longer active, but were successful in helping reduce substandard housing. Please see Appendix A to review the Madison/Adams Task Force and the Safe Neighborhoods programs in greater detail. The 2005 US Census American Community Survey shows the City is comparable to Broward County as a whole in terms of affordable housing. Housing for low and moderate income persons will be provided by the private sector and by joint public-private efforts. The City has formed collaborations with ten non-profit housing agencies knows as the Broward Alliance for Neighborhood Development (BAND). Since 2004 BAND has constructed 18 new single-family houses in scattered lots in the community. This program will continue into the future. Additionally, Hollywood has created an affordable housing trust fund to develop a dedicated source of financing for affordable housing opportunities. In addition to the affordable housing trust fund, a Community Land Trust (CLT) has been established under the guidance of Liberia Economic Society (LES). The CLT will ensure land will be affordable for housing in perpetuity. Hollywood is also interested in encouraging workforce housing, which many developers have included in their proposals. This helps create housing opportunities for lower income residents and also provides housing choice. The City will also maintain the ability in its land use plan to allow for development that combines office and commercial uses with residential uses. An example of such an arrangement is the provision of apartments above first floor stores and offices in the downtown area. This housing is generally more affordable than what is provided in large apartment complexes. Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) and Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Land Use categories provide this type of mix and have been utilized in the City for new development. The Hollywood Housing Authority provides low and moderate income housing in Hollywood. Presently, there are plans for a multi-complex dwelling rehabilitation project to house single parent households and large families. There are 301 units in existing public housing projects located throughout Hollywood. Mobile homes account for approximately 1% of the total housing stock in Hollywood. The City provides for a mobile home zoning district that has been applied on various parcels; however, mobile homes are not permitted in other residential districts. As many mobile home sites have been going through redevelopment, the City has experienced a decrease in the overall number of mobile homes in the past ten years. **Provision of Housing: Adult Congregate Living Facilities, Group Homes and Community Residential Facilities** The provision for special housing in the City of Hollywood includes Group Homes and Adult Congregate Living Facilities (ACLFs). Every facility must be approved by the State of Florida and inspected by a representative of the City of Hollywood. Hollywood's ordinance regulations regarding group homes is intended to provide for the health, safety and welfare of residents of residential care facilities in the City and to promote the growth and continued improvement of such facilities with careful awareness of their compatibility with surrounding areas. Congregate living facilities are permitted in single family residential districts, but are limited to six residents pursuant to F.S. 419. A list of existing ACLFs within the single-family residential district is provided on Table 15. ACLFs housing seven or more residents are permitted within multifamily and commercial/office districts and are listed in Table 16. Hollywood’s Zoning and Land Development Regulations provide additional guidelines and limitations for ACLFs. Each residential care facility is responsible for complying with City, County, and State regulations. Once a facility is approved, it is subject to inspection by a representative of the City of Hollywood to ensure compliance with the terms of the approval by the City. Also each facility has to comply with the provisions of the County Land Use Plan as amended from time to time. # Appendix A ## Preservation of Existing Single Family Neighborhoods: Madison/Adams Task Force In September of 1987, the Madison/Adams Task Force was formed by the City Commission to undertake a pilot study that would provide a basis for an ongoing program of neighborhood evaluation and preservation throughout the City. Members of the Task Force include officials from the City Manager's Office, Code Enforcement Division, Fire Department, the Fire Marshall, Police Department, Building Department, Public Works Department, Engineering Department, Community Development Division and the Community Redevelopment Agency. The pilot area included the two block area lying between Madison and Adams Streets and bounded on the east by the Dixie Corridor and on the west by 24th Avenue. This study was then expanded to include one block north to Monroe Street and one block south to Washington Street. The purpose of the Task Force was to identify existing problems, examine alternative approaches to the solution of such problems, and to encourage increased awareness and involvement of residents and property owners within the study area. In order for the Task Force to accomplish this, a series of six steps were implemented. ### Step one Mailing of an introductory letter to the following persons, advising them of the "Pilot Program" and the City's desire to identify and correct existing problems affecting their neighborhood: (a) Property owners who are residents within the area (b) Property owners who are not residents within the area (c) Renters residing within the area ### Step two Establishment of a staff task force consisting of the following: (a) Planning Director (b) Community Development Coordinator (c) Executive Director CRA (d) Chief Building Official (e) Assistant City Manager (f) City Attorney ### Step three Compilation of the following information on a property by property basis through use of both mailed questionnaires and on-site visits. (a) Land use (b) Condition of structures (c) Appearance of structures (d) Land value (e) Value of improvements (f) Owner of renter occupied (g) Status of mortgage (1st, 2nd, etc.) (h) History of foreclosures (i) Community development involvement (j) Housing authority involvement (k) Number of residents (l) Age of residents (m) Sex of residents (n) Race of residents (o) Gross income (p) Length of residency (q) Code enforcement history (r) Fire history (s) Police history Step four Review of information by the Task Force and identification of problems and projected solutions. Step five Presentation of the findings of the Task Force to the residents and owners of property within the Pilot Study area at a public meeting. Step six Presentation of results of Task Force and public responses to City Commission at an evening workshop. In October, the Task Force composed a summary of findings from windshield surveys distributed within a three block radius. The area was found to be in a general deteriorating condition, including issues such as poor drainage areas, damaged sidewalks, inadequate or improperly located and maintained dumpsters, abandoned buildings and vehicles and head-in/back-out parking. The findings also indicated a need for tree trimming and weed control, building repair and maintenance and better street lighting. Several recommendations were made by the Task Force which included the following: 1) Develop a tentative budget for expenditure of available City funds and staff effort to correct deficiencies within public control like drainage and lighting. 2) Organize a meeting with citizens to present problems and the need for an intensified multi-discipline inspection program. 3) Form a team made up of responsible level members from the Planning Department, Code Enforcement, Fire Department, Police Department and Building Department to do an intensive review of each property. The enforcement team is to utilize other City or County personnel as needed in response to specific problems. This effort would include, in addition to initial Enforcement review, subsequent follow-up including such legal actions or referrals to the new Code Enforcement Board as are necessary to achieve substantial compliance with existing regulations. 4) In addition to the above, it was recommended that the Office of Planning communicate in writing with the City and County Housing Authorities explaining the "Task Force" approach and requesting individual inspection and report on any assisted housing units within the area. 5) Approximately three months following the initial Task Force action, an additional evening citizen meeting should be scheduled for a specific time, date and location to appraise progress and evaluate the need for additional action. 6) Following completion of the follow-up citizen meeting, the Task Force shall submit an additional report to the City Commission evaluating the pilot program and formulating recommendations for future actions elsewhere within the City. The Madison/Adams Task Force continued to implement programs which combined intensive code enforcement, additional police concentration, increased communication between City and residents, and development of public improvements within the area bounded by Monroe on the north, Washington to the south, Dixie Highway to the east and 24th Avenue to the west. In January of 1988, the Task Force met with citizens from the three block area. The major needs identified by citizens are listed below in order of importance: 1) Increased police attention to crime and prevalent drug problems. 2) Intensified code enforcement. 3) Details about specific types of public improvements which may be made within the area pursuant to the Task Force effort. The initial comments were against expenditures of the money within the public area; however, following additional discussion, comments in favor of sidewalks, drainage, and lighting were received. 4) Managing an overabundance of subsidized housing units within the Task Force Area. 5) Elimination of boarded up buildings. 6) Rehabilitation of existing structures. 7) Other comments received were as follows: * Existence of racial transition * Conflict between owner and renter * Need for additional Leisure Services improvements in programs * Poor trash pick-up service The Task Force proceeded with preparation of the approved expenditure of Community Development funds for lighting, drainage and sidewalks within the area and provision of any remaining available funds for needed relocation of rehabilitation assistance. There will be further meetings with citizens to accomplish the items outlined previously. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) plays a role in attracting new economic opportunities to this area. The Adams Street project is expected to redevelop the neighborhood by providing new housing opportunities and a walkable environment for residents to access local retailers. In 2003, the CRA purchased land consisting of three blocks along Adams Street west of Dixie Highway to build affordable units. This project, along with many others, demonstrates Hollywood's contribution to affordable housing. ### Safe Neighborhoods Act The State of Florida adopted legislation entitled the "Safe Neighborhoods Act" for the purpose of assisting in reducing major causes of deterioration in business and residential neighborhoods in the following areas: * Proliferation of crime * Automobile traffic flow strangled by outmoded street patterns * Faulty lot layout * Fragmentation of land uses and parking areas * Excessive traffic noise The act sets forth as a preliminary required action by local government, the requirement for adoption of an enabling planning ordinance which authorizes the formation of safe neighborhood improvement districts. The act specifies three types of neighborhood improvement districts which can be enacted by subsequent ordinance. These are listed as follows: (a) **Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District** - A district enacted by the local governing body applicable within the specified boundaries. (b) **Property Owners Association Neighborhood Improvement District**- A district enacted by the local government and supported by 75% of all owners of property within a proposed district. (c) **Special Neighborhood Improvement District** - Created by special referendum within the area of proposed district. Once a neighborhood improvement district is formed, it is given specific powers and required to prepare a Safe Neighborhood Improvement plan containing at least the following elements: (a) Demographics of the district (b) Crime activity data and analysis (c) Land use, zoning, housing and traffic analysis (d) Determination of the problems of the crime to environment relationship and the stability of the neighborhood district. (e) Statement of the district's goals and objectives (f) Cost estimates and methods of financing (g) Outline of program participants and their functions and responsibilities (h) Schedule for executing program activities (i) Evaluation guidelines The Safe Neighborhood Act sets forth the "Safe Neighborhoods Trust Fund" providing planning grants and technical assistance on a 100% matching basis to the three types of neighborhood districts authorized as follows: (a) Local Government Neighborhood Improvement Districts - $250,000 (b) Property Owners Association Neighborhood (c) Special Neighborhood Improvement Districts - $100,000 In addition to the above grants, each local governing bodies which create a Neighborhood Improvement District are eligible to receive an allocation of up to $30,000 to employ the services of technical experts. The City of Hollywood successfully applied for a Planning Grant made available under the Safe Neighborhood Act and has written ordinances for the creation of two local Neighborhood Improvement Districts. District I is the "Central Residential Neighborhood Improvement District" and District II is the "441 Corridor Business Neighborhood District." Funding is matched on a one to one basis by local funds. The City of Hollywood has experienced a dramatic aging of its central housing stock and its 441 corridor business facilities. Efforts to reverse the deteriorating trends through code enforcement, housing rehabilitation and concentrated multi-disciplined task force efforts while increasing citizen awareness and willingness to be involved have fallen short of meaningful change. The Safe Neighborhood Improvement Plans prepared under the direction of this Act can make the difference in Hollywood. It is the City's intention to build on past efforts, blend good planning, strong and consistent implementation, and increased public participation to save two valuable, but severely threatened areas of Hollywood. # IV.

PURPOSE The purpose of the Coastal Element is to protect human life and limit public expenditures in areas that are subject to destruction by natural disaster. It is also to plan for, and where appropriate, restrict development activities where such activities would damage or destroy coastal resources. # II. INTRODUCTION Florida's Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act requires that local coastal governments "plan for, and where appropriate, restrict development where development would damage or destroy coastal resources and protect human life and limit public expenditures in areas that are subject to destruction by natural disaster." Within the City's designated Coastal Area most of the mainland and over half of the Barrier Island is developed. The coastal area comprises a significant portion of the City's tax base; preventing development and refraining from redevelopment is therefore not an issue. This element contains objectives and policies that address redevelopment and economic development in the City's coastal area. However, conformity to the South Florida building Code, the Coastal Construction Control Zone, and the density allowed by the Land Use Plan, is an issue. Most of the structures along the beach were built before any of the above regulations were adopted. Requiring that most of these structures conform if they are substantially destroyed in a natural disaster will help prevent worse disasters. Historical structures, if still sound, should be an exception. Other storm disaster issues a developed city can address are reducing evacuation times and hazards. More assistance, education, and prohibiting uses that will slow down or pose a danger during evacuation will reduce the risk of loss of life during a disaster. Maintaining or rebuilding and replanting dunes along the beach will buffer structures and help prevent beach erosion during a storm. As for natural coastal resources, most of Hollywood's have been preserved in West Lake and North Beach. Maintenance, education, extending the dune system, and joining forces with other agencies to protect endangered species like the manatee are now the natural coastal resource issues for Hollywood. # III. COASTAL AREA Pursuant to F.A.C. 9J-5.003 the Coastal Area “must encompass all of the following where they occur within the local government’s jurisdiction: water and submerged lands of oceanic water bodies or estuarine water bodies; shorelines adjacent to oceanic waters or estuaries; coastal barriers; living marine resources; marine wetlands; water-dependent facilities or water-related facilities on oceanic or estuarine waters; or public access facilities to oceanic beaches or estuarine shorelines; and all lands adjacent to such occurrences where development activities would impact the integrity or quality of the above.” Within Hollywood, the Coastal Area (CA) boundaries, also referred to as the Coastal Planning Area, are delineated as all of the land and water surface east of Dixie Highway. Map CM-1 identifies the Coastal Area of the City. Broward County defines the "hurricane vulnerability zone," as the land east of Federal Highway. Since Broward County is primarily responsible for hurricane evacuation planning according to the County's Charter, Federal Highway is also Hollywood's western boundary for hurricane evacuation. However, Dixie Highway was chosen as the western boundary for discussing preservation and redevelopment in this element in order not to divide the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. ### Existing Land Use The existing land uses within the CA are identified on Map CM-2. Table CM-1 quantifies the number of parcels and the acreage of the existing land uses in the same area. | Table CM-1 Existing Land Use in the Coastal Area | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Land Use** | **No. of Parcels** | **Acres** | | Community Facility | 718 | 896.99 | | Conservation Area | 73 | 1086.25 | | General Business | 400 | 156.28 | | High Residential | 10 | 4.81 | | Industrial | 126 | 231.70 | | Low Medium Residential | 617 | 142.38 | | Low Residential | 5951 | 1234.95 | | Medium High Residential | 267 | 172.25 | | Medium Residential | 1105 | 211.78 | | Office | 67 | 23.73 | | Parks and Open Space | 1648 | 1263.40 | | Rights of Way | 173 | 776.77 | | Utilities | 9 | 49.93 | | Vacant Commercial | 53 | 15.98 | | Vacant Industrial | 19 | 12.05 | | Intra-coastal Waterway (ICW) | 15 | 446.51 | There are 11,251 parcels totaling 6725.78 acres within the CA; which consists of: * Conservation Area: 1086.25 acres, comprising 16% of the area * Parks and Open Space: 1263.4 acres, comprising 19% * General Business and Office: 180.2 acres, comprising 3% * Industrial: 231.7 acres, comprising 3% * Community Facility: 896.99 acres, comprising 13% * Residential: 1766.17 acres, comprising 26% * Rights of Way, Utilities and ICW: 1273.21 acres, comprising 19% * Vacant: 28.03 acres, comprising less than 1% Map CM-1 Coastal Area City of Hollywood 💎 Coastal Element C-3 January 2008 <

Residential uses comprise 26%. The remaining 6% is Business and Office, or Industrial. These areas also provide opportunities for water dependent or water related uses within these areas. ### Community Redevelopment Under Florida law, local governments are able to designate areas as Community Redevelopment Areas when certain conditions exist. Redevelopment plans for these areas must be consistent with local government comprehensive plans. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) of Hollywood was created in 1979. Its first district, the Downtown District, was also created that year and encompasses Hollywood’s central business district and nearby residential neighborhoods. The Downtown District covers approximately 580 acres, including the 10-acre ArtsPark at Young Circle. The boundaries are Washington Street along the south, 22nd Avenue along the west and Johnson Street along the north. The eastern boundary runs south from Johnson Street along 14th Avenue, west along Polk Street, south along 16th Avenue, west along Van Buren Street and south along 17th Avenue to Washington Street. The Downtown CRA’s *March 2007 Annual Report* lists many accomplishments in public improvements, as well as current and approved developments. The Beach District of the Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency was created in 1997 in order to redevelop Hollywood Beach as a dynamic place in which to invest, work, live and play. The Hollywood Beach Community Redevelopment District consists of 293 acres between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean from Sherman Street south to the south property line of the Westin Diplomat Resort. One of the program objectives in the Beach CRA Plan is to “Preserve and maintain natural resources.” The Beach CRA’s objectives also include: * Promoting redevelopment and eliminating the causes of physical and economic blight * Ensuring sanitary and safe conditions through infrastructure improvements * Improving circulation for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists * Upgrading existing public recreation facilities and expanding recreation opportunities * Creating opportunities and incentives that facilitate redevelopment of private properties The City of Hollywood is currently working on an updated Draft Hollywood Beach CRA Master Plan and related land development regulations; this Plan states two principles; to preserve the character and scale of Hollywood Beach, and to make Hollywood Beach a model green community.

> # Natural Resources The natural resources and ecological communities of the City of Hollywood were altered at different times during the early 20th Century. In the early 1900s, marshes located west of the Atlantic Ridge were drained and used for vegetable farming and pasture land. In the early 1920s, coastal beach dunes were bulldozed to create the present Hollywood Beach area and coastal marsh and mangrove habitats were filled for development. During this period, the scrub pine vegetation was removed to allow construction of the downtown area of the City of Hollywood. Through acquisition, restoration and preservation, remaining coastal natural resources have now been preserved, predominantly in West Lake Park, John U. Lloyd State Park and North Beach Park. West Lake Park is a coastal mangrove wetland located between the barrier island and the mainland. From 1924 to 1926, the original freshwater ecosystem of this area was dredged, filled and divided for development. As part of a wetlands mitigation program, the land was purchased, and between 1985 and 1993, a multi-agency effort re-created 203 acres of mangroves, mudflats and tidal pools. Today, West Lake Park is a 1,500-acre restored mangrove preserve that is about one mile in width. John U. Lloyd and North Beach Park include the last vestiges of Broward County's original beach dune system with its indigenous vegetation, leaving 33% of the CA as natural habitat. City wide the CA contains 78% of the total natural habitats remaining in the City. Effective maintenance, public education, programs to extend the beach dune system and joining forces with other agencies to protect endangered species are the coastal resource issues for Hollywood. Map CM-5 identifies the existing habitats in the Coastal Area. # Beach and Dune Systems There are approximately 6.85 miles of coastline along Hollywood's barrier islands. This barrier island is by nature a migrating system and is subject to erosion, especially during storm events. Significant beach erosion occurred in 2005 with the landfall of two major hurricanes in Broward County. The *Critically Eroded Beaches in Florida Report, 2006 Update*, produced by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, specifically identifies 21.3 miles of critically eroded beaches in Broward County. The entire length of coastline of the City of Hollywood is recognized as critically eroded, as identified on Map CM-6. *Critical Erosion Map*. The Report summary for Broward County states: *Along the southern 8.1 miles of Broward County south of the Port Everglades Entrance is a critically eroded area (R86-R128) that threatens recreational interests at John U. Lloyd State Park and development and recreational interests along the communities of Dania, Hollywood, and Hallandale. Beach restoration projects are ongoing at John U. Lloyd State Park and at Hollywood and Hallandale. Seawalls also exist along the private development.* Map CM-5 Coastal Area Habitats and Land Cover City of Hollywood 💎 Coastal Element C-10 January 2008 City of Hollywood Comprehensive Plan Coastal Area Habitats and Land Cover Map CM-5 [ ] Hollywood City Boundary [ ] Hollywood_Coastal_Area_Boundary Land Cover Class [ ] Cypress/Pine/Cabbage Palm [ ] Dry Prairie [ ] Exotic Plants [ ] Freshwater Marsh and Wet Prairie [ ] Hardwood Hammocks and Forest [ ] Hardwood Swamp [ ] High Impact Urban [ ] Low Impact Urban [ ] Mangrove Swamp [ ] Mixed Wetland Forest [ ] Open Water [ ] Pinelands [ ] Salt Marsh [ ] Shrub and Brushland [ ] Shrub Swamp Printed July 26,2007 Data Source: Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 2004 <

> Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services The Bureau defines *critically eroded* as a segment of the shoreline where natural processes or human activity have caused or contributed to erosion and recession of the beach or dune system to such a degree that upland development, recreational interests, wildlife habitat, or important cultural resources are threatened or lost. Critically eroded areas may also include peripheral segments or gaps between identified critically eroded areas which, although they may be stable or slightly erosional now, their inclusion is necessary for continuity of management of the coastal system or for the design integrity of adjacent beach management projects. Broward County’s beaches are in a state of chronic erosion. The Hollywood area has experienced a recession of sand along the shoreline at a rate of four feet per year during the years 1989-1998. Broward County has been engaged in shore protection, beach restoration, and beach sand management since the early 1960's, at which time the Federal Government authorized the County to construct beach restoration projects with federal cost-sharing. In 1970, the first County-sponsored beach restoration project was conducted in Pompano Beach, followed by a similar project at John U. Lloyd State Park in 1977. The projects, cost-shared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the State of Florida, Broward County, and the affected municipalities, involved dredging sand from offshore “borrow sites” and pumping it onto the target beach. These projects have performed as designed, in most cases exceeding their design life of 10 to 12 years. The Broward County Beach Management Program is a comprehensive plan to replace beach sand where it is needed, to stabilize the most erosive stretches of beach, and, by means of inlet sand bypassing, to “feed” those beach segments which are eroding because of the presence of stabilized inlets. The program has three elements. First, placing beach fill on all of the County’s eroding beaches in one project, thereby achieving an economy of scale in terms of cost, environmental impacts, and engineering effectiveness. Current 2007 projections call for about 3 to 4 million cubic yards of sand to be placed on 12 to 14 miles of shoreline, including all or parts of Pompano Beach, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Fort Lauderdale, John U. Lloyd Beach State Park, Dania, Hollywood, and Hallandale. The beach in the nourished areas will be 75 to 150 feet wider after the project. The second element of the Beach Management Program involves constructing erosion control structures, such as highly-engineered T-head groins, along acutely erosive beaches in order to keep the beach in place. Studies indicate 13,000 to 30,000 cubic yards of erosion every year can be prevented by placement of a few specialized structures just downdrift of the Port Everglades Inlet. These structures, in combination with the other elements of the management program, are anticipated to help sustain these beaches over the long term. The third element of the Beach Management Program is sand bypassing at the Port Everglades Inlet. Restoring the historical southward migration of sand, in combination with the other elements of the program, will reduce the extent and frequency of expensive beach nourishment projects and provide a nearly sustainable beach for the communities of Dania, Hollywood, and Hallandale. Without City of Hollywood [LOGO] Coastal Element C-12 January 2008 sand bypassing at Port Everglades, the cost of providing beach nourishment for the beaches south of the Port may, over time, become prohibitive. The Segment III component of the Broward County Shore Protection Project took place from May 14, 2005 to February 8, 2006. The beaches at John U. Lloyd Beach State Park, and at the Cities of Hallandale Beach, Hollywood and Dania Beach received sand from offshore of central and northern Broward County. At the north end of John U. Lloyd, a rock spur and two rock T-head groins were built just south of the jetty of Port Everglades. The total cost, including engineering/design, permitting, and environmental monitoring was $44.5 million. Hollywood Beach received 999,700 cubic yards of sand and John U. Lloyd Beach State Park received 545,000 cubic yards of sand. | Table CM-3.

Beach restoration and beach nourishment are expensive and to a degree temporary, and require a continuing supply of economically accessible sand. Unfortunately, project costs are increasing, and economical sources of sand are dwindling. Therefore, future plans for beach erosion control in Broward County must include ways to increase the lifespan of beach nourishment, and lower the long-term financial exposure of all participants. Although the beaches are a primary nesting grounds for threatened and endangered sea turtles, are important habitat for a number of plant and animal species, and beach renourishment can enhance the nesting habitat of sea turtles, the rationale behind conducting these relatively temporary and expensive projects has been primarily economic. Renourished beaches will provide enhanced protection to existing infrastructure worth almost one billion dollars, provides storm protection for billions of dollars in property and enhanced protection for thousands of lives. ### Access Facilities Swimming is permitted along the entire 6.85 miles of Hollywood’s beach. Extending from Port Everglades to Hallandale Beach Boulevard, over half of this beach is part of two regional parks - John U. Lloyd and North Beach. Several street ends and an easement allow access to other portions of the beach; most of the street ends are located along Central and North Beach. Access is sparser along South Beach but still available. Hollywood also has a beach community center and theater, an art and culture center, and two large lakes with ocean access. The Hollywood Marina is open to the public and owned and operated by the City of Hollywood. The Marina is located at 700 Polk Street and is capable of storing 55 vessels. It provides boat launch facilities and has protected slips to accommodate transient, seasonal and long-term live-aboard guests. Other parks with boat launching pads are Holland Park (three), Sailor’s Point (one) and John U. Lloyd (one). No other public facilities have boat slips; however, many residents of South and North Lake and those along canals have private dockage. The Intracoastal Waterway along A1A is a traditional shoreline fishing area. All four bridges from Hollywood’s mainland to the barrier island are scenic overlooks. The ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and in some cases part of West Lake Park are visible from the bridges. Public water access is not the greatest challenge the City faces. The ability of beachgoers to park their cars and, in the case of Central Beach, the high demand for parking in the immediate vicinity of the popular Broadwalk and adjoining retail shops are the greatest need. Along Central Beach, the City maintains ground level parking lots at Garfield Street and Johnson Street and also maintains the Johnson Street Parking Garage. These three facilities provide 891 parking spaces. In addition, on-street parking is being preserved by limiting curb cuts and requiring off-street parking for new developments in the area. On South Beach, Harry Berry Park, Keating Park, and the Art and Culture Center contain or are adjacent to parking facilities. They also provide direct pedestrian access to the beach. A few street ends are also available for parking. South Beach has about 532 parking spaces. The City maintains 292 spaces along street ends at North Beach (Sherman Street northward). North Beach Park has an additional 346 spaces. *** City of Hollywood [LOGO] Coastal Element C-14 January 2008 Hollywood has sixteen parks providing publicly-accessible water access facilities. Four of these are large enough to be regional parks - John U. Lloyd, North Beach, Topeekeegee Yungee and West Lake. The list of locations available to the public to access beaches, shorelines or inland lakes is provided on Table CM-4. Map CM-7 identifies the location of these publicly-accessible water access facilities. Greater detail on each these facilities and the adopted levels of service along with a complete list of all parks and facilities are provided in the Recreation and Open Space Element. Although not open to the general public, docking facilities developed in conjunction with waterfront residential communities provide marine access to Coastal Area residents. Additionally, privately owned commercial marinas also make marine access available to community residents.

> Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS GIS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services # Estuarine Pollution Conditions Man-made contaminants including pesticides, bacteria, nutrients and detergents are the main threats to water quality in estuaries. Pesticides and fertilizers are washed into the waterways from residential lawn treatments and commercial uses, while other contaminants are from boats and waste treatment plants. These chemicals are of particular concern because they threaten the health of recreational users as well as that of aquatic life. Early settlers to South Florida regarded mangrove forests as useless, mosquito-infested, uninhabitable lands. Today, ecologists recognize their important role in coastal ecosystems. Mangrove leaves, trunks and branches fall into the water and are transformed into detritus, which is the basis of an elaborate food chain. Mangroves provide protected habitat, breeding grounds and nursery areas to many terrestrial and marine animals. Mangroves also provide shoreline protection from wind, waves and floods. Federally listed species that depend upon or utilize the mangrove community in South Florida include the West Indian manatee (*Trichechus manatus*), wood stork (*Mycteria americana*), American crocodile (*Crocodylus acutus*), and the eastern indigo snake (*Drymarchon corais couperi*), each of which may occur in the City. Mangrove ecosystems are susceptible to both natural and human-induced impacts. The two natural forces that may negatively impact mangrove forests are hurricanes and sea-level rise. The two main human induced impacts affecting mangrove communities today are direct loss of habitat from coastal urbanization and the alteration in freshwater hydroperiod by water management practices. Australian pine and Brazilian pepper are two exotic plant species that invade mangrove communities as a result of altered freshwater hydroperiod changes. Fortunately, the majority of the mangrove saltmarsh habitat remaining in the City is found in West Lake Park, a 1,500-acre, restored mangrove preserve under public ownership. The waters surrounding Port Everglades serve as habitat for the West Indian manatee (*Trichechus manatus latirostris*), a species currently recognized as endangered by the State and the Federal government. West Indian manatees are protected under federal law by the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Manatees are also protected by the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act of 1978, which established the entire state of Florida as a refuge and sanctuary for the manatees and allowed for the enforcement of boat speed regulations in manatee-designated protection zones. Port Everglades has established a number of policies and procedures to help increase awareness of and further protect the manatee. Manatees are a migratory species. The “Manatee Season” in Florida extends from November 15 through March 31 and marks the primary migratory period for manatees from their northern winter waters to the warmer waters along Florida’s southern coast. A February 2007 synoptic aerial survey found 2,817 manatees statewide. Most human-related manatee mortalities occur from collisions with watercraft. Other causes of human-related manatee mortalities include being crushed and/or drowned in canal locks and flood control structures; ingestion of fish hooks, litter and monofilament line; and entanglement in crab trap lines. Ultimately, however, loss of habitat is the most serious threat facing manatees today. The 2006 Port Everglades Master Plan Update contains a detailed Environmental Conditions Assessment that addresses the environmental conditions and the planning considerations associated with the ongoing operations and the future development of Port Everglades. The areas addressed are dredged material disposal areas, wetlands, endangered species, wildlife habitat, estuarine systems, coral reef structure, stormwater management, former waste disposal sites, proposed maintenance and construction dredging programs, and the Port’s Green Port Program. ### Historic Resources Unlike many South Florida cities, Hollywood is fortunate to have a concentration of historic, well-maintained structures. To recognize and protect historic resources the Hollywood City Commission adopted a Historic Preservation Ordinance in 1994. The ordinance is intended to promote excellence in urban design by assuring compatibility of restored, rehabilitated or replaced structures within designated historic districts or for sites with local historic designation. Also in 1994, the City established the Historic Preservation Board, an important step in the preservation process. Hollywood received “Certified Local Government” status from the Florida Department of State Bureau of Historic Preservation. This designation assists the Historic Preservation Board in preserving historic and cultural resources and helps to create public awareness of historic preservation. To aid the Historic Preservation Board, the City also adopted the National Registry Guidelines for Building, Additions, and Safety (The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines of Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, U.S. Department of Interior National Park Service, 1983). A Historic Resource Database has also been created. The information in this database is used in the review of demolition permits, building permits and during the design review process to ensure that historic properties are preserved. In 1995, the City initiated several historic preservation projects. According to the May 2005, *Hollywood Design Guidelines for Historic Properties and Districts*, the City amended its Zoning and Land Development Code to designate three historic districts. These include the Historic Hollywood Business District (45 buildings), the Harrison/Tyler Historic District (224 buildings), and the Hollywood Lakes Historic Multiple Property Resource Listing (632 acres). The City’s Historic Hollywood Business District along Hollywood Boulevard between 21st Avenue and Young Circle was awarded a listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior maintains the National Register. According to the *Hollywood Design Guidelines for Historic Properties and Districts*, in addition to nominating the Downtown for National Register listing, the City Commission has approved local designation for 19 City-designated Historic sites located throughout the City. At the present time (2007), the City of Hollywood is in the process of creating a historic district along the beachfront area that will be named the Boardwalk Historic District. The City is working with the Beach CRA and Florida Atlantic University, Center for Urban Redevelopment and Education, to research site history and to educate the community on the historic preservation program and process. The Historic Preservation Element contains additional information on the City’s historic districts. Map CM-8 identifies the City’s Historic Districts. The Historic Hollywood Business District, the Harrison/Tyler Historic District, the Hollywood Lakes Historic Multiple Property Resource Listing, and the Boardwalk Historic District all fall within the CA. The Future Land Use designations do not conflict with the ongoing programs to support the historic resources. The Bureau of Archaeological Research within the Florida Office of Cultural and Historic Preservation maintains the Florida Master Site File; a database that contains information on archaeological and historic resources in Florida. The data for the City of Hollywood listed in the Master Site File is analyzed in this element. In addition to structures, the Master Site File also lists the Dania Beach Boulevard Bridge built in 1956 and the historic road segment Dixie Highway. The locations of the Master Site File historic structures, bridge and historic road segment as well as the City-designated Historic sites within the CA are identified on Map CM-9. Within the Coastal Area, there are 820 structures listed on the Master Site file ranging from a year built date of 1908 to 1974. The majority of these structures are residential in nature. Table CM-5 identifies the use or function of the historic structures located within the CA. | Table CM-5 Historic Structures in the Coastal Area | | | :--- | :--- | | **Use or function** | **Number of units** | | Abandoned or vacant | 2 | | Apartment, Duplex | 172 | | Automobile dealership | 1 | | Bank | 1 | | Bar | 1 | | Bed and Breakfast | 1 | | Boardinghouse | 1 | | Commercial | 63 | | Commercial and Apartments | 1 | | Community Center | 2 | | Funeral Home | 2 | | Garage | 5 | | Hospital | 1 | | Hotel, Motel, Inn | 18 | | House of Worship | 4 | | Lodge (club) building | 1 | | Military | 4 | | Monument, Marker, Statue | 1 | | Museum/Art | 1 | | Gallery/Planetarium | | | Office/Office Building | 7 | | Other | 6 | | Park | 1 | | Private Residence | 505 | | Recreation- nonbuilding | 1 | | Restaurant | 5 | | Retail establishment | 9 | | Service Station | 1 | | Temple (religious) | 1 | | Warehouse | 2 | City of Hollywood 💎 Coastal Element C-21 January 2008 CM-8 Coastal Area Historic Districts City of Hollywood 💎 Coastal Element C-22 January 2008 <

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS GIS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services ### Infrastructure in the Coastal Area There are numerous roadways, wastewater systems and potable water mains located within the CA; these are shown on the maps listed below. Within the Coastal Area: Map CM-10 shows the sewer service area and force mains; Map CM-11 shows the public and private lift stations and water mains and storage tank; and Map CM-12 shows the road system. No power stations or electric substations are in the CA. ## IV. COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA It is important to note the distinction between the Coastal Planning Area as defined at the beginning of this element and the Coastal High Hazard Area. Pursuant to Chapter 163.3178(2)(h) F.S., the "Coastal High Hazard Areas" (also referred to as the high-hazard coastal areas) means the area below the elevation of the category 1 storm surge line as established by a Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model. Map CM-13 identifies the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) within the City. Map CM-14 identifies the hurricane surge zones and evacuation routes. Congress recognized the vulnerability of coastal barriers to development by passing the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) in 1982. The purpose of this Act is to minimize the loss of human life, wasteful expenditure of federal revenues, and damage to fish, wildlife, and other natural resources associated with coastal barriers. The CBRA restricts federal expenditures and financial assistance that have the effect of encouraging development of coastal barriers. The CBRA, while not prohibiting privately financed development, prohibits most new Federal financial assistance, including Federal flood insurance, within a designated Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS). In 1990, Congress passed the Coastal Barrier Improvement Act (CBIA). The CBIA tripled the size of the System established by the CBRA. The CBIA also prohibits the issuance of new Federal flood insurance within "otherwise protected areas" on buildings constructed after November 16, 1991, unless the building is used in a manner consistent with the purpose for which the area is protected. Otherwise Protected Area's (OPA's) are generally used for certain activities such as fish and wildlife research and refuges. Map CM-16 identifies the two CBRA zones within the City of Hollywood. Within P14A, flood insurance is not available for structures newly built or substantially improved on or after October 1, 1983. Within FL-20P, flood insurance is not available for structures (newly built or substantially improved on or after November 16, 1991), not used in a manner consistent with the purpose of the otherwise protected area.

NATURAL DISASTER PLANNING** The most significant natural disaster threat the City needs to plan for is the event of a hurricane. Hurricanes have the potential to occur from June through November; heavy rainfall, high winds, storm surge and widespread flooding may accompany these storms. Records from 1876 through 2005 indicate 18 hurricanes have passed within 60 miles of the City. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit with 80 mph winds while moving WSW causing moderate damage in southern Broward County. In October 2005, Hurricane Wilma came in just northwest of the City with 105 mph winds from the SW; moving very quickly NE at 25 mph. Heavy rainbands within the east quadrant of the Hurricane Wilma gusted to 110 mph and caused significant damage in eastern Broward County including the City of Hollywood. Because hurricanes impact large areas, the evacuation data presented in this element is the data specific to Broward County from the *2006 South Florida Regional Hurricane Evacuation Traffic Study*. This study was prepared by the South Florida Regional Planning Council. The South Florida Region includes Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. With each hurricane season, counties within the South Florida Region remain vulnerable to the threat of a hurricane strike. Although there are limited route choices to leave the region, the region must be prepared to evacuate highly vulnerable populations on critical routes. As such local public shelters and inland hotel/motels are available on a first-come basis. Map CM-20 identifies the locations of the hurricane shelters nearest to the City of Hollywood. The Broward County Human Services Department provides the special needs community with registration assistance for special needs shelters and transportation services. Table CM-6 lists the Broward County primary shelter locations and their capacities. Map CM-16 Coastal High Hazard Sanitary Sewer <

The quantity of evacuating vehicles will vary depending upon the magnitude of the hurricane, publicity and warnings provided about the storm and particular behavioral response characteristics of the vulnerable population. The 2006 *South Florida Regional Hurricane Evacuation Traffic Study* identifies the following data for Broward County: Existing Permanent Population – 1,700,499 people Permanent occupied dwelling units – 674,304 units Mobile homes – 20,224 units Tourist/seasonal units – 34,615 units People per permanent unit – 2.52 Vehicles per permanent unit – 1.58 Local Public Shelter Capacity – 37,135 People The City of Hollywood’s population in 2006 was 143,287, 12% of the population of Broward County. The following information pertains to the Broward County population total. The study reports: * For a low tourist occupancy Category 1-2 event, it is calculated there will be 219,402 people in 110,640 vehicles evacuating with a public shelter demand of 5,538 people. * For a low tourist occupancy Category 3 event, it is calculated there will be 312,270 people in 158,494 vehicles evacuating with a public shelter demand of 15,731 people. * For a low tourist occupancy Category 4-5 event, it is calculated there will be 391,293 people in 193,189 vehicles evacuating with a public shelter demand of 36,304 people. * For a high tourist occupancy Category 1-2 event, it is calculated there will be 227,723 people in 111,521 vehicles evacuating with a public shelter demand of 5,621 people. * For a high tourist occupancy Category 3 event, it is calculated there will be 320,177 people in 164,743 vehicles evacuating with a public shelter demand of 15,820 people. * For a high tourist occupancy Category 4-5 event, it is calculated there will be 400,640 people in 199,727 vehicles evacuating with a public shelter demand of 36,493 people. The study identified the critical roadway location segments within and adjacent to the City of Hollywood as: * Hallandale Beach Boulevard bridge over the Intracoastal; * Hollywood Boulevard bridge over the Intracoastal; * Sheridan Street bridge over the Intracoastal; * Dania Beach Boulevard bridge over the Intracoastal. The study identified the following data for projected clearance times. Table CM-7 shows the projected clearance times for all regional routes out of South Florida and the critical links within and adjacent to the City of Hollywood analyzed under the six baseline hurricane evacuation scenarios. The Baseline Scenario Definitions are defined as follows: 1A Category 1-2 Storm Conditions with Low Tourist Occupancy 1B Category 1-2 Storm Conditions with High Tourist Occupancy 2A Category 3 Storm Conditions with Low Tourist Occupancy 2B Category 3 Storm Conditions with High Tourist Occupancy 3A Category 4-5 Storm Conditions with Low Tourist Occupancy 3B Category 4-5 Storm Conditions with High Tourist Occupancy | Table CM-7.

These times are mutually exclusive and are not cumulative. Under each hurricane evacuation scenario, each county's overall clearance time is defined as the number of hours it takes total evacuating vehicles to traverse that county's most limiting critical link (the critical link with the highest volume-to-capacity ratio). For the regional roadways, clearance time is the amount of time it takes the total evacuating vehicles on each regional roadway to exit the region under each hurricane evacuation scenario. ### VI. PORT EVERGLADES The Port Jurisdictional Area (PJA) includes the Cities of Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Unincorporated Broward. The majority of the PJA, 71.3%, is located within the City of Hollywood's municipal borders. Port Everglades is governed by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners. The *2006 Port Everglades Master Plan Update* is currently being drafted. Once the Plan is approved by the Board, the Deepwater Component of the Broward County Comprehensive Plan will be updated, consistent with the mandated requirements of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The Port Everglades Master Plan was formally adopted by the Port Authority Commission on March 14, 1988. The mission of Port Everglades is to manage the County's Port-related assets to maximize the economic benefits to the citizens and businesses of Broward County and of the State of Florida. The Port will manage the County's assets in a financially responsible, environmentally sound manner, consistent with local, state, and federal rules and regulations which govern international and domestic trade, transportation and the Port industry. Port Everglades is a multi-million dollar business that has continued to increase revenues annually. Its diversity of maritime businesses includes both cargo and passenger cruise lines as well as other ancillary businesses. Port Everglades is also host to several non-maritime businesses, such as warehousing and distribution, which are dependent on interconnectivity of transportation networks. In 2005, Port Everglades experienced 5,901 total ship calls, container cargo revenue of more than $24 million, cruise revenue of $30 million, 5 million tons of container cargo and 3.8 million cruise passengers. Companies operating within Port's Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ #25) enjoy improved cash flow, lower tariff rates and taxes, reduced insurance costs, upgraded quality control and no custom clearance delays.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the *Conservation Element*, according to Administrative Rules 9J-5 derived from the Comprehensive Planning Act Statute is to “promote the conservation, use and protection of natural resources.” Hollywood has certainly protected natural resources within its boundaries by purchasing almost all of the remaining natural areas. The most notable preserves are North Beach and West Lake – the largest protected mangrove and estuary system between Miami and Palm Beach. Conservation is still important for Hollywood even though almost all of the large undeveloped natural areas within the City have been bought and preserved. Conservation in an urban environment has other meanings like “use sparingly” and “replace.” Hollywood still faces issues such as water quality and quantity, air quality, beach erosion, protection and encouragement of endangered and threatened plants and animals and species not yet endangered protection of natural areas, waste recycling, and energy conservation. Some of the causes and parts of the solutions to Hollywood’s conservation problems are outside of the City’s jurisdiction. Air quality, for example, is a regional issue. All cities and many regional agencies as well as the State will each have to be part of the solution. One of Hollywood’s contributions to cleaner air can be to allow more mixing of business and residential uses where business uses will not harm the residential character of the neighborhood. Fewer automobile trips to a separate workplace can mean cleaner air as well as more available fuel. Hollywood can assume a leadership role in protecting the natural and threatened resources within the City, encouraging conservation of resources, and also in encouraging replacement of natural areas throughout the City. Policies such as amending the current landscape code to allow combining of landscape buffers, to require shrubbery and groundcovers as well as trees, and to require more than one type of tree in a development can be addressed at the City level and will start to replace the natural environment. Investigation of the feasibility of more solid waste recycling is also an issue that can be addressed at the municipal level. Public education is also an important ingredient in any effort’s success. Though the City cannot dictate to Broward County Public Schools or the Broward County Parks and Recreation Division, the City can, at the very least, act as a clearinghouse by putting the citizens in touch with various conservation programs within Hollywood, and as an example by setting new policies on issues like recycling, and water conservation. Citizens should understand that letting the tap water run is akin to dumping it uselessly into the ocean, that planting yet another black olive tree is contributing to a sterile environment, that motoring a boat in West Lake is helping to destroy a natural habitat which is fast disappearing in South Florida, and that frequent use of herbicide, pesticide and fertilizer on exotic plants is contributing to the pollution of drinking water. ### Legislative History The settlers of this county in the early 1900’s viewed many of these natural features as constraints to the development process. A shift in emphasis toward the protection of natural resources and the physical environment occurred very gradually during the first half of this century. During Theodore Roosevelt’s administration, concern for the environment focused primarily on the prudent use of commercial resources like timber. However, the origins of conservation as a political force are generally attributed to this era. The conservation movement resurfaced around 1970 in the form of “environmental concern.” At that time, public concern about deteriorating environmental quality provided the impetus for major legislation such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Water Pollution Control Act and the Coastal Zone Management Act. While environmental concern was being expressed at the national level, Florida was experiencing extremely rapid growth which was placing increasing demands on both natural and urban systems. In order to accommodate these extensive demands, Florida adopted several major laws on land use and the environment. The Environmental Land and Water Management Act of 1972 established ways of protecting environmentally significant areas, and of assessing the effects of large-scale development on entire regions of the State. Chapter 403, Florida Statutes, grouped any environmental protection functions into one regulatory agency: the Department of Environmental Regulation, now the Department of Environmental Protection. The Beach and Shore Preservation Act, the Water Resources Act, and the Land Conservation Act addressed even more resource management problems recognized by the State during the early 1970’s. In 1975, the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act required local governments to prepare comprehensive plans as a basis for land use control. The act’s intent was “to protect human, environmental, social, and economic resources; and to maintain, through orderly growth and development, the character and stability of present and future land use and development in this State.” Required elements of the Comprehensive Plan that consider natural resource management included Land Use, Conservation, Coastal Zone Protection, Open Space and Recreation, and the optional Scenic Design and Historic Preservation elements. In 1985, the Florida legislature adopted the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act. This act again requires preparation of the above mentioned elements plus a *Capital Improvement Element* which states the cost and funding source of some of the capital recommendations in the other elements. ### Natural History Prior to 1900, most of Broward County’s land area was covered by Everglades, a natural system which is wet most of the year with elevated tree islands interspersed throughout. Wetland areas filtered nutrients from surface water and recharged ground water. Dryer areas such as pine forests percolated water through surface layers, removing impurities in the process while draining the land. Throughout the landscape, vegetation purified and replenished the air while animal life fertilized the soil as part of a delicate ecological balance. The City of Hollywood was developed in a westward direction from the ocean toward the Everglades. Part of the City from Federal Highway west toward Hollywood Hills is part of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge which is higher and drier than the Everglades and supported Pine and Hardwood Communities. Natural communities that existed before development in Hollywood were the Coastal Beach Strand, Mangrove Swamp and Estuary Area, the Coral Reef, Pine Forest, Low Oak Hammock, Tropical Hammock, Freshwater Marsh and Wet Prairies. Of these eight, substantial vestiges of four remain – Coastal Beach Strand, Mangrove Swamp and Estuary Area, the Coral Reef, and the Low Oak Hammock. Remnants of Pine Forests dot the central and western portions of the City. ## II. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ### Climate The climate of the City of Hollywood is subtropical. Climate data reported by the Southeast Regional Climate Center identifies that from 1948 to 2005 the average maximum annual temperature is 83.6 F° and the average annual minimum temperature of 67.5 F°. The average annual precipitation is 63.31 inches. Precipitation is not distributed evenly throughout the year. The highest precipitation levels occur from June through November, which is considered the “wet season,” with the lowest levels occurring from December through May, which is considered the “dry season.” Precipitation ranges from an average monthly level of 2.43 inches in January to 9.56 inches in June. No snowfall has been reported during this recording period. The prevailing winds are from the southeast. Thunderstorms are common during the summer months when the highest average monthly precipitation occurs. Hurricanes, which occur much less frequently, have the potential to occur from June through November; heavy rainfall, high winds, storm surge and widespread flooding may accompany these storms. Records from 1876 through 2005 indicate 18 hurricanes have passed within 60 miles of the City. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit with 80 mph winds while moving WSW causing moderate damage in southern Broward County. In October 2005, Hurricane Wilma came in northwest of the City with 105 mph winds from the SW; moving quickly NE at 25 mph, heavy rainbands within the east quadrant of the Hurricane Wilma gusted to 110 mph and caused significant damage in eastern Broward County including the City of Hollywood. ### Physiography Hollywood, located in southern Broward County, is an Atlantic ocean coastal community composed of a barrier island, estuarine lagoon and mainland component. The natural elevations within the City range from sea level to 15 feet. Map CV-1 Topography identifies these elevations in detail. Map CV-1.

> 0 0.5 1 2 Miles Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS GIS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services ESRI The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) recognizes the City as a part of the Lower East Coast sub-region, which extends approximately 160 km (99 mi) north to south through large coastal portions of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. The Lower East Coast sub-region is the most highly urbanized area in Florida, containing 30 percent of the State’s residents. Most urbanization occurs along the coastal portion of the sub-region with substantial agriculture present south and west of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. The major topographic feature of this Lower East Coast sub-region is the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. This limestone ridge, consisting of relic dune ridges formed by wind and wave action, parallels and extends the length of the Atlantic Coast. The part of the City from approximately Federal Highway west to Hollywood Hills is a part of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. Prior to the 1900’s, most of Broward County west of the Atlantic ridge was previously part of the Everglades. Three major estuaries and marine systems occur in this sub region: Lake Worth Lagoon in Palm Beach County, Biscayne Bay in Miami-Dade County, and West Lake in the City of Hollywood. The Barrier Island is historically coastal beach strand with dune systems and maritime hammock communities. ### Soils The general distribution of soils is shown in Map CV-2.

> # Soil Erosion Hollywood’s barrier island is by nature a migrating system and subject to erosion, especially during storm events. Shoreline coastal erosion occurs on land adjacent to water bodies. The rate of this erosion is determined by natural events, such as rough seas, high tides, nearshore currents, rainfall and runoff, as well as human developments that restrict the sources of sand for beaches. Due to the relatively flat topography of the mainland portion of the City, and how highly urbanized it is, inland soil erosion is typically not a problem and has historically not been a problem. The *Critically Eroded Beaches in Florida Report, 2006 Update*, produced by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, specifically identifies 21.3 miles of critically eroded beaches in Broward County. Nearly all of Broward County is critically eroded. The entire length of coastline of the City of Hollywood, 6.85 miles, is recognized as critically eroded, as identified on Map CV-3. Critical Erosion Map. The Report summary for Broward County states: > *Along the southern 8.1 miles of Broward County south of the Port Everglades Entrance is a critically eroded area (R86-R128) that threatens recreational interests at John U. Lloyd State Park and development and recreational interests along the communities of Dania, Hollywood, and Hallandale. Beach restoration projects are ongoing at John U. Lloyd State Park and at Hollywood and Hallandale. Seawalls also exist along the private development.* The Bureau defines critically eroded as a segment of the shoreline where natural processes or human activity have caused or contributed to erosion and recession of the beach or dune system to such a degree that upland development, recreational interests, wildlife habitat, or important cultural resources are threatened or lost. Critically eroded areas may also include peripheral segments or gaps between identified critically eroded areas which, although they may be stable or slightly erosional now, their inclusion is necessary for continuity of management of the coastal system or for the design integrity of adjacent beach management projects. Broward County’s beaches are in a state of chronic erosion. The Hollywood area has experienced a recession of sand along the shoreline at a rate of 4 feet per year during the years 1989-1998. Broward County has been engaged in shore protection, beach restoration, and beach sand management since the early 1960's, at which time the Federal Government authorized the County to construct beach restoration projects with federal cost-sharing. In 1970, the first County-sponsored beach restoration project was conducted in Pompano Beach, followed by a similar project at John U. Lloyd State Park in 1977. The projects, cost-shared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the State of Florida, Broward County, and the affected municipalities, involved dredging sand from offshore “borrow sites” and pumping the sand onto the target beach. These projects have performed as designed, in most cases exceeding their design life of 10 to 12 years. As of 2007 the current Broward County Beach Management Program is a comprehensive plan to replace beach sand where it is needed, to stabilize the most erosive stretches of beach, and, by means of inlet sand bypassing, to “feed” those beach segments which are eroding because of the presence of stabilized inlets. The program has three elements. First, placing beach fill on all of the County’s eroding beaches in one project, thereby achieving an economy of scale in terms of cost, environmental impacts, and engineering effectiveness. Current projections call for about 3 to 4 million cubic yards of sand to be placed on 12 to 14 miles of shoreline, including all or parts of Pompano Beach, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Fort Lauderdale, John U. Lloyd Beach State Park, Dania, Hollywood, and Hallandale. The beach in the nourished areas will be 75 to 150 feet wider after the project. The second element of the proposed Beach Management Program involves constructing erosion control structures, such as highly-engineered T-head groins, along acutely erosive beaches in order to keep the beach in place. Preliminary studies indicate that 13,000 to 30,000 cubic yards of erosion every year can be prevented by placement of a few specialized structures just downdrift of the Port Everglades Inlet. Such structures, in combination with the other elements of the management program, are anticipated to help sustain these beaches over the long term. The third element of the Beach Management Program is sand bypassing at Port Everglades Inlet. Restoring the historical southward migration of sand, in combination with the other elements of the program, will reduce the extent and frequency of expensive beach nourishment projects and provide a nearly sustainable beach for the communities of Dania, Hollywood, and Hallandale. Without sand bypassing at Port Everglades, the cost of providing beach nourishment for the beaches south of the Port may, over time, become prohibitive. Segment III of the Broward County Shore Protection Project took place from May 14, 2005 to February 8, 2006. The beaches at John U. Lloyd Beach State Park, and the cities of Hallandale Beach, Hollywood and Dania Beach received sand from offshore of central and northern Broward County. At the north end of John U. Lloyd, a rock spur and two rock T-head groins were built just south of the jetty of Port Everglades. The total cost, including engineering/design, permitting, and environmental monitoring was $44.5 million. Hollywood Beach received 999,700 cubic yards of sand and John U. Lloyd Beach State Park received 545,000 cubic yards of sand. | Table CV-2.

Unfortunately, project costs are increasing, and economical sources of sand are dwindling. Therefore, future plans for beach erosion control in Broward County must include ways to increase the lifespan of beach nourishment, and lower the long-term financial exposure of all participants. The rationale for conducting these relatively temporary and expensive projects is primarily economic, although the beaches are also a primary nesting grounds for threatened and endangered sea turtles, and are important habitat for a number of plant and animal species. Beach renourishment can provide nesting habitat for thousands of threatened and endangered of sea turtles per year, protect infrastructure worth almost a billion dollars annually, and provide storm protection for billions of dollars in property and thousands of lives well into the next century.

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS GIS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services # Air Air quality in the City of Hollywood is generally good. However, based upon ambient air quality monitoring, conducted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and noted in *The Florida Air Monitoring Report 2004*, reports that Broward County is an attainment area for five of the six major air contaminants: carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), particulate matter (PM), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). The attainment area designation indicates that the concentrations of major pollutants are within the acceptable limits set by the DEP and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Broward County continues to be classified as an attainment/maintenance area for the pollutant ozone (O₃). A maintenance area is an area previously classified as non-attainment, which has successfully reduced air pollutant concentrations to below the standard, but must maintain some of the non-attainment area plans to stay in compliance with the standards. Ozone is an odorless, invisible atmospheric gas. It is found in two layers of the atmosphere and can be thought of as "good" or "bad" depending on where it is located. Good ozone occurs naturally in the stratosphere where it forms a protective layer that shields harmful ultraviolet rays. Bad ozone is at the ground-level and is the main ingredient in smog. It is also the primary pollutant of concern in southeast Florida. When emissions from motor vehicles, lawn maintenance equipment, power plants and gas stations react with the strong Florida sun they form ozone. The warm temperatures and low wind speeds during the summer months can also cause an increase in ozone. Air quality is an issue that must be addressed at a regional level with each City contributing and working in coordination with the County to protect air quality. # Water Resources Along the City’s east coastline is the Atlantic Ocean, and immediately interior to the coastal barrier island is the Intracoastal Waterway. Other significant water features include West Lake Park, South Lake, North Lake and Port Everglades. Map CV-6. Waterbodies, identifies the water features in the City. Living marine resources are oceanic or estuarine plants and animals, such as mangroves, seagrasses, algae, coral reefs, fish, shellfish, crustacean, fisheries, sea turtles, and marine mammals. Living marine resources adjacent to the Broward County coast include at least fifteen families of cartilaginous fishes such as sharks and rays and 55 families of bony fishes such as tarpon, herring, snook, snapper and species typically inhabiting the coral reefs of southeast Florida.

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS [ ] Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services ESRI Since 1967, Broward County has conducted an artificial reef program to provide habitat for marine species and expand recreational diving and fishing opportunities. Very little commercial fishing takes place in Broward County waters. Netting, fish traps and bottom longlines are prohibited by the State. However, recreational fishing is one of the most important activities off the Broward County coast. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) regulates fresh and saltwater fishing in the City of Hollywood. The Intracoastal Waterway runs through the City of Hollywood between the barrier island and the mainland. It is a small portion of the 3,000 mile recreational and commercial waterway along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the U.S. The Intracoastal is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Florida Inland Navigation District is a special state taxing district for the continued management and maintenance of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. West Lake Park is a coastal mangrove wetland located in the City of Hollywood between the barrier island and the mainland. From 1924 to 1926, the original freshwater ecosystem of this area was dredged, filled and divided for development. As part of a wetlands mitigation program, the land was purchased and, between 1985 and 1993, a multi-agency effort recreated 203 acres of mangroves, mudflats and tidal pools. Today, West Lake Park is a 1,500-acre restored mangrove preserve that is about 1 mile in width. North Lake and South Lake were first envisioned by Joseph Young in the 1920s. His initial vision included a wide boulevard extending from the ocean westward to the edge of the Everglades with these man-made lakes paralleling each side of the roadway. One end of each lake empties into the Intracoastal Waterway and the other serves as a turning basin for private yachts. Joseph Young also envisioned a seaport at what was once a shallow lake. Port Everglades, through its entrance channel, serves as the primary access to the Atlantic Ocean for marine interests in Broward County, including commercial carriers and recreational boaters. The Port was established in 1928 when a permanent inlet was created between Lake Mabel and the ocean. Prior to the opening of the channel, Lake Mabel was a freshwater lake system. The creation of Port Everglades’ ocean inlet, together with the completion of the Intracoastal Waterway, completely transformed this freshwater habitat to its current brackish/marine wetland environment. In July 1999, Broward County began monitoring the health of the beach water by sampling for enterococci bacteria. The program began collecting water samples on a weekly basis with additional funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The current beach water sampling program is conducted by the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Water Programs. In August 2000 the beach water sampling program was expanded to include fecal coliform as well as enterococci bacteria. Fecal coliform and enterococci are both enteric bacteria that normally inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and animals. The presence of these bacteria is an indication of fecal pollution, which may come from stormwater runoff, pets and wildlife, and human sewage. If they are present in high concentrations in recreational waters they can be ingested while swimming or enter the skin through a cut or sore, causing disease, infections or rashes. The EPA has recommended states adopt enterococci testing as a saltwater quality indicator. According to studies conducted by the EPA, enterococci have a greater correlation with swimming-associated gastrointestinal illness in both marine and fresh waters than other bacterial indicator organisms, and are less likely to "die off" in saltwater. If an enterococci result exceeds 103 colony forming units per 100 milliliters of beach water sampled and a resampling result also exceeds this value, then an advisory is issued for the sampling site. Fecal coliform, which is used by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to determine water quality in fresh, brackish and marine water environments, has long been Florida’s preferred indicator organism in both fresh and saltwater. If a fecal coliform result exceeds 399 colony forming units per 100 milliliters of beach water sampled and a resampling result also exceeds this value, then a health warning is issued for the sampling site. The beach water sampling locations in the City of Hollywood are John U. Lloyd State Park, Custer Street Beach, Minnesota Street, and Harrison Street. The weekly sample results are described as good, moderate or poor. A poor rating may result in a resampling event to confirm poor conditions, otherwise a Health Advisory or Warning will be issued immediately. These indicate that contact with the water at this site may pose increased risk of infectious disease, particularly for susceptible individuals. ### Sea Level Rise In a presentation to the Water Resource Advisory Board and Technical Advisory Committee on September 21, 2006, Dr. Hal Wanless of the University of Miami predicted a sea level rise for Broward County of 1 foot in the next 100 years. This is in addition to the 0.7 foot rise established to have occurred in the past 70 years. Rising sea levels will lead to local water problems such as worse drainage for flood events, more harm from beach erosion and hurricanes, more salt water intrusion, loss and alteration of salt and fresh wetlands, along with building siting and preparation issues in anticipation of higher base water levels. Current and credible sea level rise data should be considered when planning long term infrastructure and capital improvements activities, and in future land use decisions.

LAND COVER Map CV-7. Habitat Land Cover, identifies the habitat coverage within the City as mapped by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) (See Table CV-4. Natural Habitat Land Coverage and Table CV-5. Disturbed Habitat Land Coverage). It identifies the habitats occurring within the City, along with the acreage and the percent coverage of each habitat. Prior to the 1900, most of Broward County west of the Atlantic Ridge, was part of the Everglades. The part of the City from approximately Federal Highway west to Hollywood Hills is a part of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. The predominate natural communities that existed before the City was developed included: Coastal Beach Strand, Mangrove Swamp and Estuary, Pine Forest, Low Oak Hammock, Tropical Hammock, Freshwater Marsh and Wet Prairie. However, Hollywood is an older City incorporated in 1925 and is currently highly is urbanized. Nearly 86% of the City’s land area is urbanized or disturbed land. Only 14% of the land area is recognized as having natural habitat coverage. West Lake Park, nearly 1,500 acres of restored mangrove and saltmarsh habitat, comprises the bulk of any natural habitat that remains in the City. Less than 2% of the land area of the City is recognized to have any upland, mesic or freshwater wetland natural habitat; and these habitats, as show on the habitat coverage map and on Map CV-8. Aerial Photograph of the City, are greatly fragmented and disrupted due to development as well as the encroachment of invasive exotic vegetation. Appendix CV-1. FFWCC Habitat Coverage Descriptions, provides excerpts from the FFWCC describing the characteristics of the habitats which occur within the City. Appendix CV-2. Native Plant Species that May Occur in the City of Hollywood, contains a list of the native plant species that may be found in the City and identifies those species that are listed as either threatened or endangered by federal and state agencies. Appendix CV-3. Listed Animal Species that May Occur in the City of Hollywood, identifies the federal and state listed animal species that may occur within or utilize habitat within the City. Appendix CV-4. Invasive Plant Species, identifies the invasive exotic pest plant species that occur within and are problematic to the City. ### Natural Habitats Mangrove and Saltmarsh Habitat, Estuary and Ocean Waters, Coastal Beach Strand and Freshwater Marshes are the main natural habitats that remain in the City. Remnants of Pine Forest, Oak Hammock and Tropical Hammock require attention through an adopted landscape ordinance and tree preservation measures. The FFWCC map recognized the coastal beach area mainly as high density urban, however, it is important to recognize and address its functions as a natural coastal beach strand habitat.

From 1924 to 1926, the original freshwater ecosystem of this area was dredged, filled and divided for development. As part of a wetlands mitigation program the land was purchased, and between 1985 and 1993, a multi-agency effort re-created 203 acres of mangroves, mudflats and tidal pools. Today, West Lake Park is a 1,500-acre, restored mangrove preserve that is about 1 mile in width. Early settlers to South Florida regarded mangrove forests as useless, mosquito-infested, uninhabitable lands. Today, ecologists recognize their important role in coastal ecosystems. Mangrove leaves, trunks and branches fall into the water and are transformed into detritus, which is the basis of an elaborate food chain. Mangroves provide protected habitat, breeding grounds and nursery areas to many terrestrial and marine animals. Mangroves also provide shoreline protection from wind, waves and floods. Federally listed species that depend upon or utilize the mangrove community in South Florida include the West Indian manatee (*Trichechus manatus*), wood stork (*Mycteria americana*), American crocodile (*Crocodylus acutus*), and the eastern indigo snake (*Drymarchon corais couperi*), each of which may occur in the City. The eastern brown pelican, a State listed species of special concern, nests predominantly on overwash mangrove islands and forages over open water, mudflats, and seagrass beds in the shallow waters of estuaries, creeks, and nearshore areas. Brown pelican rookeries are located on isolated red mangrove islands where a substantial water depth barrier protects the nests from mainland predators. Their diet consists of fish of all sizes. Historically brown pelican populations were reduced as a result of pesticides. Today, the greatest threats to brown pelicans are disturbance and loss of habitat from construction activities and from entanglement in monofilament line. It has been estimated that over 500 individuals die each year as a result of entanglement with fishing tackle. The tricolored heron (*Egretta tricolor*), little blue heron (*Egretta caerulea*), white ibis (*Eudocimus albus*), and snowy egret (*Egretta thula*) forage and nest in mangroves. Little blue herons and white ibis are the most common of the State listed wading bird species observed in mangroves in south Florida. Their diet consists of small fish, crustaceans, insects, frogs, and lizards. Snowy egrets are the third most abundant listed wading bird observed. Their preferred foraging areas are the seagrass beds and mudflats adjacent to the mangroves and their diet consists of crustaceans, insects, and small fish. Reddish egrets (*Egretta rufescens*) and roseate spoonbills (*Ajaia ajaja*) are obligate mangrove breeders. Reddish egrets forage on the sandbars and mudflats adjacent to mangroves in an active fashion with spread wings and rapid steps over unvegetated bottoms. Reddish egrets are the least abundant of the listed wading birds associated with mangroves. Reddish egrets utilize a limited set of saltwater habitats that allow for use of their unique foraging method. Their diet consists of crustaceans and small fish. Roseate spoonbills nest exclusively in mangrove forests, typically on overwash islands, and forage wherever concentrations of small fish and crustaceans allow the birds to utilize their unique bills for feeding A wide variety of shorebird species forage on the mudflats of mangrove estuaries. Among the State listed species are the threatened least tern (*Sterna antillarum*); the black skimmer (*Rynchops niger*), and the American oystercatcher (*Haematopus palliatus*). Least terns require open beach or bare substrates for nesting near areas where schools of forage fish concentrate. American oystercatchers utilize oyster bars and mudflat areas in mangroves and nest on bare un-vegetated shores. The Mangrove rivulus (*Rivulus marmoratus*) is a small fish which lives only in and around mangrove areas from Indian River County on the east coast, south through the Keys, and north to Tampa Bay on the west coast of Florida. It is the only species of *Rivulus* in North America and has adapted to conditions of varying water levels and low oxygen levels of the mangrove community. It is an important link in the food chain, as it has been found to constitute part of the diet of many organisms, including the wood stork. It is listed as a species of special concern by the State because of its limited distribution and vulnerability to loss of its habitat. Three species of mangroves are found in Florida: the red mangrove, black mangrove and white mangrove. Mangroves are salt tolerant and grow in flooded saltwater areas. Typically, red mangroves grow in and along the water's edge, black mangroves grow on slightly higher elevations than the red, and white mangroves grow on slightly higher elevations than the black. Red mangroves grow arching and branching prop roots from trunks and drop roots from branches to anchor into the muddy bottom. Mangroves trap mud, leaves and other debris among their roots and trunks. This mixture becomes food for many animals including microscopic organisms, young fish and shrimp. Young red mangrove trees grow among the prop roots of the mature trees. These seedlings grow from floating pencil-like propagules, which germinate while attached to the mature mangrove and later fall from the plant to float in the water until they take root. Mangrove ecosystems are susceptible to both natural and human-induced impacts. The two natural forces that may negatively impact mangrove forests are hurricanes and sea-level rise. The two main human induced impacts affecting mangrove communities today are direct loss of habitat from coastal urbanization and the alteration in freshwater hydroperiod by water management practices. Australian pine and Brazilian pepper are two exotic plant species that invade mangrove communities as a result of altered freshwater hydroperiod changes. Fortunately, the majority of the mangrove saltmarsh habitat in the City is preserve habitat under public ownership. ### Estuary and Ocean Waters The waters surrounding Port Everglades serve as habitat for the West Indian manatee (*Trichechus manatus latirostris*), a species currently recognized as endangered by the State and the Federal government. West Indian manatees are protected under federal law by the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Manatees are also protected by the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act of 1978, which established the entire state of Florida as a refuge and sanctuary for the manatees and allowed for the enforcement of boat speed regulations in manatee-designated protection zones. On June 13, 2007, FFWCC Commissioners voted to proceed with the final phase of the process to reclassify manatees from endangered to threatened. The final action will be the adoption of a management plan, possibly in September 2007. In March 2007, a briefing paper from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) also indicated that they are preparing a recommendation to downgrade the manatee's protected status from endangered to threatened under the Federal Endangered Species Act. No further action has been taken at the time of this writing. Manatees are a migratory species. The "Manatee Season" in Florida extends from November 15 through March 31 and marks the primary migratory period for manatees from their northern winter waters to the warmer waters along Florida's southern coast. A February 2007 synoptic aerial survey found 2,817 manatees statewide. Port Everglades has established a number of policies and procedures to help increase awareness of and further protect the manatee. West Indian manatees have no natural enemies, and it is believed they can live 60 years or more. Most manatee mortalities are human-related, generally due to collision with boats. The average adult manatee is about 9.8 feet long and weighs between 800-1,200 pounds. Manatees are found in shallow, slow-moving rivers, estuaries, saltwater bays, canals and coastal areas. Manatees are completely herbivorous. They eat aquatic plants and can consume 10-15% of their body weight daily in vegetation. They graze for food along water bottoms and on the surface. Most human-related manatee mortalities occur from collisions with watercraft. Other causes of human-related manatee mortalities include being crushed and/or drowned in canal locks and flood control structures; ingestion of fish hooks, litter and monofilament line; and entanglement in crab trap lines. Ultimately, however, loss of habitat is the most serious threat facing manatees today. Table CV-6. Manatee Mortality lists manatee mortalities statewide. Mortalities specifically in Broward County and mortalities within Broward County that were known to have been caused by watercraft. | Table CV-6. Manatee Mortality | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Year** | **Statewide** | **Broward County** | **Due to Collision with Watercraft (Broward County)** | | 2006 | 417 | 15 | 6 | | 2005 | 396 | 9 | 2 | | 2004 | 276 | 6 | 1 | | 2003 | 380 | 8 | 5 | | 2002 | 305 | 10 | 3 | | 2001 | 325 | 9 | 4 | | 2000 | 272 | 4 | 2 | In 1989 the Governor and Cabinet directed 13 key manatee counties in Florida to prepare Manatee Protection Plans (MPP). The plans were required to have three major components: boating safety, manatee education and awareness, and boat facility siting. In Broward County the first two components were completed and approved by the County Commission in 1992 following the removal of the boat facility siting component from the Plan. Recommendations within that Plan were and continue to be implemented today. Broward County’s Environmental Protection Department Biological Resources Division (BRD) began working on portions of the MPP in the spring of 2001. At that time, BRD’s primary involvement was in the education and awareness component. Initiatives to improve boater education were made through the use of boat ramp signage, while awareness in schools was enhanced by the development of a resource toolbox for school teachers. Awareness efforts continue today through additional projects and partnerships within the region. In 2002, BRD began to take steps to complete the boat facility siting portion of the Plan. The Planning Services Division was the lead for finalizing the plan and was revising the existing portions of the Commission-approved Plan for insertion into the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The updates were amended in 2001 and both divisions began to focus on the siting component. A series of meetings and conversations with the state agency responsible for approving local plans took place and information gathering and sharing began to formalize in the summer of 2003. At that time, it became apparent that the scope and detail of the Plan needed expertise, in both the technological field and in manatee biology. For this reason, BRD began to collect primary data, and manatee aerial surveys, deemed critical by the State. Currently, BRD continues to work closely with staff from the State and Federal agencies responsible for implementing manatee protection measures in Florida. The Boat Facility Siting Plan was adopted by the County Commissioners in June 2007 and is anticipated to be presented to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in Fall 2007 for State approval. **Coastal Beach Strand** Sea turtles in Florida are protected through Florida Statutes and by the United States Endangered Species Act. Briefly, these laws state that: “No person may take, harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or attempt to engage in any such conduct to marine turtles, turtle nests, and/or turtle eggs.” Hollywood Beach is within the normal nesting areas of three species of sea turtles: Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). Florida is considered the second most important nesting area in the world for Loggerhead sea turtles. The Loggerhead is listed as a threatened species, while the Green and Leatherbacks are listed as endangered under both State and federal listings. The nesting season begins in March and ends in October. Loggerheads nest from May to October, Green sea turtles nest from June to September and Leatherback from March to July. Incubation of the nests takes about 45-55 days. Based on tagging studies, an individual turtle will nest within approximately 5 miles to 35 miles of where they hatched from and/or nested in the past. Sea turtle nesting season takes place in darkness and relies upon natural light the moon to direct hatchlings to the ocean. When artificial lights are illuminating the beach, hatchlings can become disoriented, travel in the wrong direction, and possibly never conclude their journey into the ocean. Scientific estimates indicate only one in 1,000 hatchlings will survive (anywhere from 20-50 years) to become an adult sea turtle. Broward County conducts an ongoing program to relocate threatened nests, survey nesting patterns and assess nesting and hatching success. In a two year period (2004-2006) a total of 244 nests were found on Hollywood Beach. They included 238 Loggerhead sea turtles, 1 Green sea turtle and 5 Leatherback sea turtles. These nests were relocated with a 90% success rate. The City is currently considering enacting a lighting ordinance to help protect sea turtle hatchlings from being disrupted by artificial lighting on beach. **Freshwater Wetlands** Small isolated inland freshwater wetland habitats occur within the City. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service *South East Florida Multi-Species Recovery Plan* provides great detail on the complex mosaic that can make up the longer hydroperiod marshes and the shorter hydroperiod freshwater wet prairies. Marshes are herbaceous in nature with the woody vegetation tending to be more restricted to higher elevations in the form of tree islands, or in depressions such as cypress strands or domes. Forested wetlands informally are referred to as swamps, such as hardwood, cypress or bay swamps. Because of the longer hydropatterns, fire is a rarer event in the development of marsh structure than in upland habitats. Marshes and wet prairies are dynamic in nature and in a natural setting do undergo periodic droughts, as well as floods and fires. Because they are frequently dry and may also contain many non-wetland species (species not listed as Facultative Wetland or Obligate Wetland by the FDEP), wet prairies are often difficult to delineate, and designation is often based on soil and indirect evidence of average high water levels. Marshes can be isolated or adjacent to canals, rivers, lagoons, lakes or sloughs and can serve both local and region functions. Freshwater marshes and sloughs are integral habitat to a variety of wading birds and fish. The federally listed species that depend upon or utilize the marsh and wet prairie communities are the snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus), the wood stork (Mycteria americana) and the eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi), each of which can occur within the City. The American Alligator will also be found wherever there are freshwater canals or waterbodies or wetlands of sufficient hydroperiod. Wetland resources are regulated by the federal government through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, by the state through South Florida Water Management District or FDEP, and by the County. The goal of wetland resource regulations is a no net loss in function or value of wetland resources. This is accomplished through the avoidance of impacts as the first priority, minimization of impacts as the second, and mitigation as the third. Reviews of the resource maps and careful site inspections prior to development approval can help specifically identify wetland and other natural resources at the local level to facilitate interagency coordination on adherence to wetland regulations to protect the remaining wetlands resources. ## IV. CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITIES Public lands providing, recreation, open space and conservation opportunities within the City are owned, operated and maintained by a host of entities. Although the majority of the parks are owned and operated by the City of Hollywood, Broward County owns and operates Hollywood North Beach, Topeekeegee Yugnee and West Lake Park. The State owns and operates John U. Lloyd Beach State Park. Map CV-9. Publicly Owned Recreation and Open Space Lands, identifies approximately 2,824 acres of publicly owned recreation and open space lands within the City. The Park and Recreation Element of this Plan provides greater detail on the nature of each of these public properties. Effective maintenance and management strategies to preserve and protect sensitive habitats and resources can more readily be implemented through public ownership. The City and other public entities should continue to develop cooperative, compatible plans for the preservation and best utilization of their public recreation and open space resources. Additional conservation opportunities are available through land use designations. The Future Land Use Map designates certain lands as Conservation Open Space. This designation is assigned to areas containing important natural environmental features which pose severe limitations on their suitability for development. Map CV-10. Future Land Use Map, identifies those areas designated as Conservation Open Space. Map CV-9 Publicly Owned Recreation and Open Space Lands <

POTABLE WATER Broward County and the City of Hollywood are located within the Lower East Coast Planning Area of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The SFWMD Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan 2005-2006 Update (Plan Update) provides details on the current and projected water supply for the area. Hollywood’s water usage was calculated to be approximately 24.53 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) in 2005, with a projected need for 31.04 MGD in 2015 and 37.88 MGD in 2025. The LEC planning area covers approximately 6,100 square miles and includes essentially all of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties; most of Monroe County; and the eastern portions of Hendry and Collier counties. In the LEC Planning Area, the population is expected to grow from 5.6 million in 2005 to 7.3 million by 2025. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach are among the State’s five most populated counties. Increased population will result in a net increase of 393 MGD in water demand for all use categories during the next 20 years, all or most to come from alternate sources. Agricultural land totals more than 500,000 acres, making agriculture the second largest use category in the LEC Planning Area. World renowned ecosystems, such as the Everglades, Lake Okeechobee, Florida Bay, and Biscayne Bay, are in the LEC Planning Area. Traditional water sources include fresh groundwater from the Surficial Aquifer System (SAS) and Biscayne Aquifer, and surface water, primarily from the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee. Alternative water sources include brackish water from the Floridan Aquifer System (FAS), reclaimed water, and excess stormwater during the rainy season. The *Plan Update* suggests most future water needs will be met through the development of alternative water sources. These alternatives include brackish water, reclaimed water, and the storage of storm water captured during wet-weather flows for later beneficial use. Region-wide, public water supply withdrawal demands (raw water) are expected to increase by 397 MGD (41%) to 1,286 MGD by 2025, at which time this water supply category will represent approximately 57 percent of the region’s total water demands. Agricultural water withdrawal demands (gross demands) are projected to modestly decline from 762 MGD in 2005 to 689 MGD (10%) by 2025. Nevertheless, agriculture will remain the second largest use category in the LEC Planning Area. Thermoelectric power generation self-supply is a rapidly growing water use category. Future customer demand projections reflect the 103 MGD required to serve new power generation facilities planned by Florida Power & Light (FPL). During the 20-year planning period, water withdrawal demands will increase from 4.5 MGD to 103 MGD. The remaining water use categories – domestic self-supply, commercial and industrial, recreational and landscape – will also experience increased water withdrawal demands, reaching a total of 195 MGD by 2025. The City of Hollywood produces drinking water by first pumping groundwater from wells that draw from the Biscayne and Floridan Aquifers. The Water Treatment Plant treats the water to remove contaminants. The Biscayne Aquifer is the water supply for Miami-Dade and Broward counties and is of high quality, as it is primarily rainwater, which was filtered through sand and rock. The Floridan Aquifer, a much deeper source of water, is brackish and requires greater treatment. Once out of the ground, the City uses lime softening and membrane filtration on raw water from the Biscayne Aquifer and reverse osmosis on raw water from the Floridan Aquifer. Prior to distribution, filtered water is flouridated to promote healthy teeth and disinfected using chloramines to maintain high quality and safety standards throughout the distribution system. Treatment methods encompass several processes designed to meet and exceed the Federal Drinking Water Standards. The lime softening process sends raw water from the Biscayne Aquifer to spiractors, which are cone-shaped tanks that circulate raw water to remove impurities. The raw water is then fed through many layers of filter material which further enhance the finished water quality. Membrane softening/reverse osmosis treatment works by forcing raw water from the Biscayne or Floridan Aquifer through membrane filters, eliminating the finest particles, leaving behind water in its purest form. The 2006 *City of Hollywood Water Quality Report* states the Water Treatment Plant treats up to 26 million gallons of water a day, with the capacity of 41 million gallons a day. The City of Hollywood performs more than 70 tests every day to monitor water quality and performs more than 160 additional tests each month on drinking water samples. The Department of Public Utilities provides water services to citizens of Hollywood and several other governmental entities including the City of Dania Beach, the Town of Pembroke Park, the Seminole Hollywood Reservation, the City of West Park and portions of Unincorporated Broward County. The Public Utilities Department maintains a water reclamation facility which provides tertiary treatment to the Waste Water Treatment Plant effluent, providing extremely filtered water with no trace of sewage. This water is piped to six golf courses around the City of Hollywood where it is available for irrigation. An additional Floridan reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment capacity of up to 10.70 MGD finished water is being developed and is scheduled to be completed by 2025. The City expects to implement a conservation water savings of 1.00 MGD in 2007. Advertisements, promotions, and rate incentives are a few of the methods to encourage consumption reduction. Information detailing potable water use and demand management is contained in the potable water sub-element of the Infrastructure Element. ## VI. GROUND WATER The principal ground water resources for the LEC Planning Area are the Surficial Aquifer System, including the Biscayne aquifer, and the Floridan Aquifer System. The Surficial and Biscayne aquifers provide most of the fresh water for public water supply and agriculture within the LEC Planning Area. Due to the regional importance of the Biscayne aquifer, it has been designated as a sole source aquifer by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act and is, therefore, afforded stringent protection. This designation was made because it is a principal source of drinking water and is highly susceptible to contamination due to its high permeability and close proximity to land surface in many locations. Major sources of contamination are saltwater intrusion and infiltration of contaminants from canal water. The Broward County 2004 map showing saltwater intrusion areas (Map CV-11. Delineation of Saltwater Intrusion), is on the following page. Water resource protection tools under Florida Statutes are used to protect water supplies for natural systems and human needs. In addition to minimum flows and levels, other resource protection tools include consumptive use permitting, water shortage declarations and the reservation of water. Water supply is vulnerable to the introduction of chemicals from business and residential uses. In order to protect it, Broward County established zones of influence around each wellfield. The Broward County Environmental Protection Department began the Wellfield Protection Program in 1990. This program regulates activities in Wellfield protection areas including the storage, handling, use, and production of regulated substances at hazardous material facilities. Zones are delineated by the theoretical time it takes for contaminants to travel from the point they enter the ground water to the wellfield. Broward County has three delineated protective zones; Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3. Restrictions are highest in Zone 1. These protected areas act as safety buffers against accidental contaminant releases wherein known contaminants can be reduced before they reach the public supply well. Zone 1 provides a ten day buffer around the wellfield; Zone 2 provides a thirty day buffer and Zone 3 provides a 210 day buffer. Map CV-12. Wellfield Protection Zones identifies the wellfield protection zones in the City of Hollywood. The Biscayne Aquifer, Surficial Aquifer System and surface water are dependent upon rainfall for recharge. Average annual rainfall in the LEC Planning Area is about 53 inches. Approximately 75 percent of this occurs during the wet season. In addition to seasonal variation, rainfall varies significantly from year to year with historic annual amounts ranging from 37 inches to 106 inches in the planning area. Amount of rainfall also varies regionally within the LEC Planning Area and generally decreases from east to west.

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services # Pollutants Waste generators, above and underground storage tanks, and dry cleaning facilities are licensed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Within the Hollywood City limits there are 315 locations with storage tanks and 20 locations with dry clean facilities that are licensed by FDEP. Fourteen (14) of the dry cleaning facilities are identified as open and 6 are identified as closed. Of the licensed storage tanks, 146 are identified as open and 169 as closed. Appendix CV-5. Licensed Dry Clean Facilities in the City of Hollywood identifies the licensed dry cleaning facilities. Appendix CV-6. Licensed above and Underground Storage Tanks in the City of Hollywood identifies the licensed tank properties. The Broward County Environmental Protection Department (BCEPD) identified 107 sites within the City as contaminated. These sites are licensed for contamination assessment and cleanup by the Division of Pollution Prevention and Remediation of the BCEPD and by the FDEP. Appendix CV-7. Contaminated Sites in the City of Hollywood identifies these contaminated sites. Of the 107 contaminated sites, 13 are in the FDEP Dry-Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Program with the remaining in DEP cleanup programs including 18 properties in the Early Detection Incentive (EDI) program, 14 in the Petroleum Liability and Restoration Insurance Program (PLRIP), and 2 in the PCR (indicating the sites have been closed with restrictions). Twenty-three are listed as Non Funded (NF); 21 are Pre-Approved; 4 are in the Petroleum Cleanup Participation Program (PCPP); 1 is in the Pre-approved Advanced Cleanup Program (PAC); and 11 are in the Abandoned Tank Restoration Program (ATRP). The Environmental Assessment and Remediation (EAR) Section of the Pollution Prevention and Remediation Division of the BCEPD manages the assessment and remediation of contamination at a majority of the over 1,000 contaminated sites located within Broward County. The EAR Section manages the State funded Petroleum Cleanup Program for the FDEP as well as conducting the oversight, licensing, assessment, and remediation of the non state-funded cleanup projects, which may involve petroleum and other chemical contaminations. Development of a coordinated working relationship with the EAR Section of EPD will allow the City to remain current on the status of sites within the City which are managed by the EAR Section. The Dry-Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Program is a state-funded program to cleanup properties that are contaminated as a result of the operations of a dry cleaning facility or wholesale supply facility. This program is administered by the FDEP. According to the March 2007, *Priority Ranking List* for the Dry Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Program there are 1,423 registered sites. From July 1998 to February 2007 only 114 sites had received their Site Rehabilitation Completion Orders and only another 205 sites have been tasked to state contractors for rehabilitation. The remaining 1,104 sites are ranked, awaiting state contractor assignment. The score each site received determines the order in which the FDEP will begin site rehabilitation activities. Regardless of a site’s priority in the Dry-Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Program, site owners are authorized to conduct rehabilitation activities at any time if they choose. The program provides limited liability to the owner, operator and real property owner of dry cleaning or wholesale supply facilities for cleanup of dry cleaning solvent contamination if the parties meet the eligibility conditions stated in the law. To provide incentive for voluntary cleanup, 1998 Legislature authorized a tax credit toward either intangible personal property tax or corporate income tax for taxpayers who conduct voluntary cleanup at eligible sites. The FDEP Petroleum Cleanup Program utilizes State funds for the cleanup of qualified petroleum contaminated sites. This program was developed by FDEP to encourage facilities which store petroleum products to report any releases of petroleum contaminants to the soil, groundwater or surface water. Ultimately, this helps to protect Florida’s aquifers from past and future petroleum releases. This program encompasses technical oversight, management, and administrative activities necessary to prioritize, assess, and cleanup sites contaminated by discharges of petroleum and petroleum products from stationary petroleum storage systems. The program sites include those determined eligible for state funded cleanup using pre-approved contractors designated by the property owner or responsible party. Also included are sites determined eligible by State lead contractors under direct contract with the FDEP, as well as non-program or voluntary cleanup sites funded by responsible parties. Each eligible site in the Petroleum Cleanup Program is assigned a priority score which establishes a site’s place in line for cleanup with State funds or its priority for enforcement action. The priority score represents the relative threat each site poses to potential receptors; a higher score equals a greater potential threat. Effective May 2006, due to the volume of backlogged, unexecuted work orders and task assignments ($15 million), the priority score threshold for allocating funding to sites eligible for the Petroleum Cleanup Pre-approval Program was raised from 30 to 37 points. The Early Detection Incentive (EDI) program created a “grace period” or exemption from departmental enforcement actions for sites with suspected contamination that were reported to the Department between June 30, 1986 and December 31, 1988. These sites were eligible for either State contracted cleanup or reimbursement of costs for a privately managed cleanup. Approximately 10,000 contaminated sites were submitted under the program with approximately 5,000 sites being submitted prior to the deadline. The Petroleum Liability and Restoration Insurance Program (PLRIP) was created in its original form in 1988 in response to anticipated federal financial responsibility requirements. During 1988 there were few, if any, private insurers writing coverage for petroleum-contaminated sites. PLRIP provided petroleum facilities within State regulatory compliance eligibility $1 million to purchase pollution liability protection from a state contracted insurer. PLRIP also provided $1 million worth of site restoration coverage either through reimbursement or state cleanup. In 1992, with commercial liability insurance available in the marketplace, legislation was passed to return responsibility for site cleanup to the responsible party and to phase out the Department's participation in the restoration insurance program by the end of 1998. The Pre-approved Advanced Cleanup Program (PAC) provides an opportunity for site rehabilitation to be conducted on a limited basis at contaminated sites, in advance of a site's priority ranking, to facilitate property transactions or public works projects. When there is an actual application period announcement, an application shall be submitted to the Department. The Abandoned Tank Restoration Program (ATRP) was created in 1990 by Legislature to address the problem of out-of-service or abandoned tank contamination associated with previous operations. The original program had a one year application period which was subsequently extended to 1992, then 1994. In 1996 the deadline was waived indefinitely for owners financially unable to comply with tank closure. The Petroleum Cleanup Participation Program (PCPP) is a cost-sharing clean-up program providing rehabilitation funding assistance for properties currently contaminated by discharges of petroleum or petroleum products from a petroleum storage system occurring before January 1, 1995. The Department will rank PCP program sites based on human health and safety risks. When funds become available to clean up based on priority ranking the Department will notify owners in writing. Owners, operators or persons otherwise responsible for site rehabilitation must then prepare and provide the Department with a limited contamination assessment report (LCAR) sufficient to determine the extent of contamination and cleanup. After selecting a certified petroleum rehabilitation contractor for clean-up, owners must enter into a pre-approved site rehabilitation agreement with the Department. This agreement will require a copayment equal to 25% of the cost of cleanup plus a demonstration by the owner of their financial ability to meet the obligation. Owners must pay for the LCAR and the 25% copayment unless a financial inability to pay status can be demonstrated to the Department. Map CV-13.

NPL lists national priorities among known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. The status of Terrill Motor Machine Co. Inc. at 2029 Taft Street is *No Further Remedial Action Planned* (NFRAP). NFRAP indicates this site has been removed from the inventory of Superfund sites. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) records for the Hollywood Incinerator Ash Dump at 1600 S. Park Road indicate an expanded site inspection was completed in December 1997. In 1999, the City filed a proposed site closure plan with the Department of Environmental Protection for the Department's review. There has been no additional activity based upon this submission. In 2006, FDEP requested a Site Assessment Report from the City regarding the site. The City through its present consultant has gathered data and is finalizing its Site Assessment Report after discussions with FDEP. Additional site activity is anticipated subsequent to the State's review of the SAR and any follow-up comments or determinations from the State regarding monitoring activities on this site. Hollywood has one open licensed Residential Transfer Station at Park Road and Pembroke Road, and three closed licensed facilities. These facilities are a Residential Transfer Station and Compost Facility, a Residential Transfer Station, and a Yard/Trash Landfill. The Florida Brownfields Redevelopment Program has 148 acres of the Liberia/Oakwood Hills Area listed as a Brownfield Area with a resolution date of September 18, 2002. The EPA defines brownfields as "real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant." A brownfield as stated in the Florida Statutes 376.79 also means a contiguous area of one or more brownfield sites, some of which may not be contaminated, and which has been designated by a local government by resolution. Both state and federal incentives are available for the cleanup and redevelopment of designated brownfield areas. Residential source contamination can be discouraged through providing public information on safe disposal of home chemicals and by encouraging these be brought to the South Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Center, located at 5601 W. Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Hollywood. The HHW Center accepts flammables, toxics, corrosives, and reactive waste. (i.e.: paints (oil and latex), paint thinners and strippers, used oil, automotive fluids & gasoline, solvents, pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers, pool chemicals, spot removers, oven and drain cleaners, furniture and metal polish, mercury, batteries and tires) The Center also accepts old electronics (teblvisions, computers, monitors, keyboards, modems, printers, copiers, cell phones). All of the latex paint collected at the HHW Center is sent to a re-blending facility where it is re-blended and re-packaged into high quality latex paint. The “Paint It Broward” recycled paint program distributes paint to Broward municipalities for beneficial programs such as graffiti control and neighborhood beautification. Cities are also encouraged to distribute recycled latex paint to their residents free of charge. # VII.

PURPOSE The purpose of this Element is to provide an overview of the City of Hollywood's efforts toward assuring the provision of public recreation and open space facilities. This element is intended to establish a framework to guide public policy decisions and capital improvement outlays for recreation and open space facilities. The inclusion of this optional Element in the Comprehensive Plan reflects the City's interest, acknowledgement, and dedication to recreation lands and open spaces as a fundamental component of the community fabric. This Element inventories existing recreation and open space opportunities that are located within the City of Hollywood and available for use by the general public. Specific types of amenities and facilities that are available at each location are tabulated. Current and projected recreation needs are assessed to establish minimum Level of Service (LOS) standards in support of adequate recreation and open space facilities for the City's residents of today and tomorrow. This Element concludes with a series of goals, objectives, and policies that will assist the City in achieving recreation and open space facilities that are functionally adequate and sufficient to support the local population. Furthermore, these statements are intended to guide the decision making process relative to recreation facilities and programs, including ongoing maintenance, retention, refinement, and facility development to assure that the needs and aspirations of Hollywood's residents and visitors will be met throughout the foreseeable future. # II. INTRODUCTION The City of Hollywood administers, operates, and maintains approximately 785 acres of parks and open space. Additionally, there are approximately 2,039 acres of County and State-owned and operated recreational facilities available to the public. The Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department is responsible for the management, programming, and maintenance of the City's fifty-six (56) parks, including thirteen (13) community centers, five (5) sports complexes, three (3) golf courses, one (1) tennis center, one (1) community pool, and three (3) outdoor amphitheaters. The City coordinates over 1,000 recreational, athletic, and aquatic programs, 100 rentals, and over 200 special events that attract more than 1.5 million participants and spectators annually. Programs are offered in the areas of fitness, dance, martial arts, pre-school, summer camps, youth and adult sports, aquatics, senior trips and programming, cultural arts, computers, special events, clubs, and culturally diverse programs throughout the City. Other significant program areas of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department include Capital Improvement Projects, General Obligation Bond Projects, Grants Management, Public Relations and Marketing, and the Park Ranger/Monitor Program. III. CLASSIFICATIONS OF RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE FACILITIES The City of Hollywood boasts a diverse collection of park, recreation, and open space facilities. This Element categorizes these park facilities based on the guidelines provided in Florida’s Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, *Outdoor Recreation in Florida*—2000. Following are Hollywood’s criteria for delineating its myriad of community resources and facilities. It should be noted that when determining how a park is categorized, the City of Hollywood places far more emphasis on a facility’s *use* rather than its *acreage*. Mini-Neighborhood Park – Sometimes referred to as pocket parks, these open areas typically function as tot lots, equipped play areas, and the like. Park size is generally less than 5 acres. Facilities may include play apparatus for preschool and school age children, landscaping, benches, open space, and picnic tables. Promenades, linear parks, and other small urban open spaces have been folded into this category. Neighborhood Park – A pedestrian-oriented recreation facility that is located such that vehicular interaction or interference is limited. These facilities serve a population of no greater than 5,000 residents within a short radius of approximately one-half mile from the park site. Neighborhood parks generally range in size from 5 to 10 acres, but may be smaller depending on facility uses. Site design and development typically incorporate both active and passive elements although improvements are most often selected based upon neighborhood scale, character, and facility needs. Typical improvements consist of picnic facilities, playgrounds, outdoor courts and sport fields, as well as other amenities that respond to local recreation demands of the neighborhood population. Community Park – A recreation facility that is often situated in the vicinity of major local roadways and typically accessed via private automobile. The community park provides service to multiple neighborhoods both contiguous to the site and located within a radius of several miles. These facilities typically accommodate a population upwards of 25,000 and include both facilities and programs for most if not all segments of the local population. In general, community parks serve a much larger area and offer more facilities than a neighborhood park. As a result, they require more in terms of support facilities such as parking, restrooms, and covered play areas. The State recommends this category’s park size to be 20 to 50 acres. However, Hollywood has elected to include smaller, destination-oriented sites such as the ArtsPark at Young Circle as well as its many multi-purpose community centers. Typical improvements consist of play equipment, athletic fields, multi-use buildings, and swimming pools. Passive and landscape areas also serve as fundamental characteristics of park facilities that fall within this classification. Urban District Park – These parks are designed to serve the recreation needs of several communities, a city, or an entire county, and usually provide some areas and facilities that are resource-based. Typical areas and facilities include natural areas, campgrounds and play apparatus. Such parks should serve an average population of 50,000 and be a minimum of 100 acres. Regional Park – These are large, resource-based parks that serve several communities or an entire county. Typically includes those facilities found in an urban district park, but on a larger scale of at least 250 acres. Single/Special Purpose Facility – The chief feature may be uniqueness such as a marina, concert bowl, or some other special characteristics. Size varies depending on use. Golf Course – An area of land designated for playing golf on. The inventory is restricted to (1) publicly owned golf courses that are zoned for recreational use and (2) private and semi-public golf courses that are either zoned and restricted by other development order, such as a site plan or subdivision approval, for open space use. Beach – An area of sand sloping down to the water of a sea or lake. All tidally influenced waters to the mean high water line and navigable fresh waterbodies to the ordinary high water line in existence when Florida became a state in 1845 are considered sovereign. In accordance with the Constitution of the State of Florida, these lands are held in trust by the State for all the people. ### IV. INVENTORY: EXISTING RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE FACILITIES Based on the criteria from the previous section, the public park facilities in Hollywood are categorized below.

Beach Theater Bandshell 2. Sailors Point 3. West Annex Taft Street Office 4. Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center Urban District Park: 1. Topeekeegee Yungee (TY) Park Regional Park: 1. West Lake Park The most effective and efficient park system to manage is one made up of different types of parks, each designed to provide a specific type of recreation experience or opportunity. When classified and used properly, they are easier to maintain, create less conflict between user groups, and have less impact on adjoining neighbors. In order to assess the park system in Hollywood and to address specific parkland needs, the parks have been further classified as passive, active, or special purpose facility. These designations are based on Joseph DeChiara and Lee Koppelman’s Standards for Recreational Activities from *Urban Planning and Design Criteria*. However, Hollywood has advanced the term *passive* to include smaller parks with playground equipment as well as those facilities that generally do not offer organized recreational activities. Conversely, an *active* recreation designation generally applies to those parks that allow for organized team sports with sports fields (baseball, softball, and soccer) and courts (tennis and basketball), or that serve as a cultural place. *Special Purpose Facilities* include community centers, which will be discussed later in this Element. Table 1 provides an inventory of park, recreation, and open spaces managed by the City of Hollywood which are available for use by the general public. Included is a listing of each site’s acreage, description of available facilities, and use (passive, active, and/or special purpose). Using the ID numbers in the table’s first column, the locations of each facility are graphically depicted on Map 1. Table 1.

Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services As noted earlier, Broward County and the State of Florida offer recreational opportunities within the City of Hollywood. The following table inventories these facilities. Table 2.

Table 3. PUBLIC RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ACREAGE IN HOLLYWOOD | OWNERSHIP | ACREAGE | | :--- | :--- | | City of Hollywood | 784.9 | | Broward County | 1,699.7 | | State of Florida | 339.1 | | **TOTAL:** | **2,823.7** | Through its Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department, the City provides positive experiences through numerous recreation services, programming, and special events. Parks have proven to be one of the main quality of life considerations for residents and tourists who come to visit, work, and play in the City of Hollywood. ### ArtsPark The 2000 Safe Parks and Land Preservation Bond included a $5 million budget to construct a cultural center in a park. To leverage additional dollars for this center, Broward County issued a Request for Letter of Interest (RLI) to municipalities to match that amount. In a competitive process, the City of Hollywood was awarded the ArtsPark funding to transform Young Circle Park. The recently completed ArtsPark in downtown Hollywood has transformed Young Circle into a multi-million dollar interactive recreational facility. The 10-acre ArtsPark comprises multiple multi-purpose activity spaces, designed for the activities that will occur in them, including a children's play area, center court and plaza, visual arts building, and a planned performing arts pavilion. ArtsPark will serve as a regional cultural and recreational center for residents and visitors. The cultural facility will offer art classes and other activities, and the park's programmed spaces will host youth programs, festivals, concerts, and other performances. ### Neighborhood Community Centers As mentioned earlier, the City has thirteen (13) neighborhood community centers, each of which offers activities and programming geared towards children, teenagers, and seniors. Community centers are also available for neighborhood and civic functions in addition to recreation programs, rentals, special interest groups, and enrichment programs. Grant funding support is sought whenever possible to supplement programming. The Community Centers are: 1. Beverly Park Community Center 2. David Park Community Center 3. Driftwood Community Center 4. Fred Lippman Multi-Purpose Center 5. Garfield Street Community Center (at Charnow Park) 6. Hollywood Beach Culture and Community Center 7. Hollywood West Park and Community Center 8. Jefferson Park 9. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center 10. McNicol Community Center 11. Oak Lake Park Community Center 12. Police Athletic League Recreation Center (at Boggs Field) 13. Washington Park Community Center ### Administration The Administrative Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts provides leadership, park planning, programming, support, policy development, and implementation of Departmental Strategic Plan initiatives. Components of this Division include standards for performance; coordinating activities with other City Departments and recreation agencies; budgeting; community outreach; grant management; and Capital Improvement including General Obligation Bond (GOB) projects. Current park improvements from GOB funding are detailed in the following section. ### Sports Programs Sport programs have an important function in the recreation system. Youth and adult baseball, football, and soccer teams participate in league sports with volunteer operation. These programs receive widespread community support from various civic and social organizations. ### Special Events Hollywood hosts a myriad of special events throughout the year including the July 4th Celebration; Hollywood Beach Candy Cane Parade; Hollywood Festival of the Arts, Global Groove Festival; and other significant community celebrations. The Hollywood Beach Theater produces over 150 concerts per year with an additional six (6) concerts at the Hollywood West Summer Concert Series. ### Ballfields There are several public ballfields in the City of Hollywood. These activity-based recreational resources offer a variety of activities such as soccer, baseball, and football. The ballfields in Hollywood offer many recreational opportunities in addition to field sports. ### Swimming The Aquatics Division of the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department coordinates and implements citywide swim lessons, Swim Central, swim team training, open swim, water exercise classes, and adaptive aquatics programs for special populations. These programs are conducted at the Driftwood Community Pool, as well as pools at the Apollo Middle School, Attucks Middle School, and McArthur High School. ### Beaches In addition to the 2.5 miles of public beach located in the John U. Lloyd State Recreation Area, the City of Hollywood has an additional 4.5 miles of public beach, extending from Dania Beach Boulevard south to Hallandale Beach Boulevard. ### Public Schools Not included in the inventory chart are a total of 92 acres of recreation facilities on public school sites. The Broward County School Board has master recreation lease agreements with Broward County and sixteen cities, including Hollywood. ### Golf and Tennis The City oversees the operation of its three golf courses (Eco Grande, Hollywood Beach Golf & Country Club, and Orangebrook Golf and Country Club) as well as the David Park Tennis Center. The operations are contracted with outside vendor-operators. Over 160,000 rounds of golf are played on City courses annually, and 27,300 patrons utilize the tennis center annually. Additionally, there are four privately-owned golf courses in Hollywood, all of which are available for use by the public. The following table details the golfing facilities in Hollywood. **Table 4.

Private recreational opportunities within Hollywood are often available within the numerous condominiums, townhouses, apartment complexes, churches and private schools. The YMCA and Boys and Girls Club are also available. These offer a variety of facilities as well as activities such as tennis, swimming, exercise rooms, and meeting and recreation rooms. These private recreational opportunities often overlap with public recreational facilities, depending upon the location of the residential facilities. ### V. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ANALYSIS It should be noted that level of service (LOS) standards for park acreage vary from municipality to municipality. This fluctuation is explained to some degree by vast differences in existing facilities, the availability of land resources for future recreation improvements, and preferences of local residents and leaders. While Hollywood has an impressive park system, it has a relatively modest level of service standard of 3 acres of parks and open space per 1,000 population. Although this is consistent with the standards set forth in the Broward County Land Use Plan, many cities in Broward have elected to increase their level of service. For example, Coral Springs, Weston, and Parkland respectively have an LOS standard of 4, 6, and 10 acres of parks per 1,000 population. To be sure, these other communities are younger than Hollywood and had more available open land when the service levels were established. The previous section inventoried a total of 2,824 acres of public recreation and open space in the City of Hollywood. However, the Broward County Land Use Plan provides certain criteria regarding calculation of park space for determining a city's level of service standard. For example, acreage of recreational facilities at public schools may be used to meet the requirement if the facilities are available for use by the general public. Ten percent (10%) of other non-city owned public recreation facilities located in Hollywood may be counted, with a maximum of 10 acres per park. The Broward County Land Use Plan also allows public and private golf courses to be used to satisfy the parks requirement subject to certain conditions. Golf courses are limited to 50 percent of the golf course acreage, and only if they are protected through zoning and other legal restrictions. Golf course acreage may not count for more than 15 percent of the total parks requirement for a municipality. The following table summarizes actual acreage versus “allowable” acreage with regard to meeting the County’s LOS requirement. Table 5. PARK ACREAGE – ACTUAL VS. LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS | GOVERNMENT / FACILITY | ACREAGE (ACTUAL) | ACREAGE (FOR LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | City Parks & Beaches (not including golf courses) | 380.9 | 380.9 | | County and State Parks & Beaches | 2,038.8 | 36.1 | | Golf Courses (public and private) | 639.9 | 124.4 | | Broward County School Board | 92.1 | 92.1 | | TOTAL | 3,151.7 | 633.5 | Applying the County’s 2006 population estimate for Hollywood with the 633.5 acres that may be included in the LOS analysis, the City has approximately 4.4 acres of recreation and open space per 1,000 residents. A total of 433 acres of park lands are needed to maintain the 3 acre/1,000 population level of service. Thus, there is currently a 201 acre surplus of park land. Table 6 charts Hollywood’s projected park needs through 2030 using the LOS standard of 3 acres per 1,000 population. Table 6. PROJECTED PARK NEEDS FOR CITY OF HOLLYWOOD | Year | Population (Projected)* | Park Acreage Demand (amount needed to maintain LOS of 3 acres / 1,000 population)** | Surplus (+) / Deficit (-) Acreage** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2006 | 144,431 | 433 | + 201 | | 2010 | 151,098 | 453 | + 181 | | 2015 | 159,974 | 480 | + 154 | | 2020 | 169,943 | 510 | + 124 | | 2025 | 182,616 | 548 | + 86 | | 2030 | 191,481 | 574 | + 60 | * Source: Broward County Planning Services, March 2007 ** Based on the 634 acres that may be used to meet LOS requirement per Broward County Land Use Plan This analysis indicates the City will be able to uphold its LOS standard through this Comprehensive Plan’s short term (5 year) and long term (10 year) planning periods. ### Financing and Park Improvements Schedule The City of Hollywood has initiated a Neighborhood Park Impact Fee requirement for all new development to help meet the increasing demand on City parks. Additionally, in November 2004, City residents voted overwhelmingly (65%) to approve a $54 million General Obligation Bond Referendum, which included $23.7 million for parks and recreation improvements to be implemented over five to seven years. A review of the City’s five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY 2007-2011 and General Obligation Bond (GOB) projects further demonstrates Hollywood’s commitment to recreation facilities and open resources. The following table lists the upcoming park, open space, and golf course improvements as identified by the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department and the City’s Capital Improvement Program FY 2007 – 2011.

INTRODUCTION As a fully developed City, Hollywood is responsible for the provision of a drainage service within its boundaries. Overall water management powers are held by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Drainage activities meet, at a minimum, the criteria established by that agency. ## Regulatory Framework ### Federal Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (PL 92-500, 1972) is the directing federal law with respect to water pollution abatement. In implementing the Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified pollutants carried in stormwater runoff as a major source of water contamination. To achieve the pollution abatement goals of the act, the EPA provided assistance to state and local governments to develop Areawide Water Quality Management Plans or "208 Plans," as they are commonly known. These 208 Plans studied a broad range of potential water pollution sources, including stormwater, and focused on identifying pollutant sources and abatement needs as well as development of regulatory programs to ensure implementation. At present, there are no federal regulations for stormwater management concerning the quantity of stormwater runoff. ### State The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has adopted a Stormwater Rule (Ch. 17-25, FAC) to fulfill part of the State's responsibilities under Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The rule's basic objective is to achieve 80-95 percent removal of stormwater pollutants before discharge to receiving waters. This rule requires treatment of the first inch of runoff for sites less than 100 acres in size and the first one-half inch of runoff for sites 100 acres or greater in size. Treatment is generally accomplished through retention or through detention with filtration. Retention requires the diversion of the required volume of runoff to an impoundment area with no subsequent direct discharge to surface waters. Pollutant removal by settling and by percolation of the stormwater through the soil is almost total. Detention facilities are typically within the line of flow of the drainage system. Stormwater from a site passes through the detention facility and is filtered prior to discharge to remove pollutants. Implementation of the stormwater rule is achieved through a permitting process. DEP has delegated permitting responsibility to the regional water management district with jurisdiction over the City. Exemptions to the permit requirements are provided for: 1. Facilities serving individual sites for single-family, duplex, triplex, or quadruplex units. 2. Facilities serving dwelling unit sites which are less than ten acres in total land area, have less than two acres of impervious area, and which comply with local stormwater management regulation or discharge to a permitted regional facility. 3. Facilities for agricultural or silvacultural lands which have approved management plans. ### Local Hollywood has adopted stormwater management regulations as part of the City's Comprehensive Land Development Code (Ord. 11181-4, Sec. 2105). The Utilities Department is responsible for implementing these provisions of the code as part of the subdivision review process. Exemptions for small scale developments (individual single-family, duplex, triplex, and quadruplex units) are provided for in planning, construction, and operation and maintenance of drainage facilities developed by the City. Rainfall is abundant in the area and is distributed in such a way that almost 80% occurs from May to November. Characteristics of rainfall in the area are essential in planning and designing criteria for drainage systems. There is no appreciable vertical relief in Hollywood. The land is flat with a slight drop in elevation as it approaches the coast (see Map DR-1). This provides an inherent problem with the natural overland "sheet" flow of stormwater; and, with the exception of a few isolated areas, this method of drainage cannot be relied on. Fortunately, the sunshine probability in the Hollywood area is high, 67% of the possible on an annual basis. This does much to alleviate drainage problems by stimulating rapid evaporation. As a result of these naturally occurring conditions, it is not economically feasible to design drainage systems to handle stormwaters which may occur only one time in a one hundred year period. Typically, engineers design drainage systems for storms which occur at one, three, or five year intervals, depending on the value of the properties in the drainage area and on the nuisance factor created by flooding. Thus, some ponding will occur in residential areas during the more intense storms. This condition, however, is of a rather short duration and the cost to eliminate it or substantially reduce the inconvenience would be excessive compared to the benefits received. Three systems for disposing of stormwater are employed in the City of Hollywood. 1. Surface percolation through swales - This system is utilized primarily in residential areas where curbs do not occur. In some areas of the City the effectiveness of the swale system is thwarted by excessive landscaping, tree planting, and paving for additional parking. 2. Underground infiltration trench drains - Also known as "French" drains; work well in areas where soil conditions are conducive to percolation. As with swale drainage, this type of system has the added benefit of allowing stormwater to be retained in the soil.

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS GIS Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services 3. Positive drainage systems - This type of system employs pipes to move stormwater from the flooded site to an outfall site into a lake or canal. This system is by far the most rapid and efficient means of stormwater removal but it allows no water to be absorbed into the ground. Because it moves stormwater directly from polluted sites such as streets and parking lots, it does nothing to filter the water. This is particularly detrimental when the system outfalls into a tidal or estuarine area such as North Lake or West Lake.

ANALYSIS Existing Conditions – Drainage Facilities: The drainage system of Broward County and the City of Hollywood is a component of the much larger South Florida system. The purpose of the drainage system is twofold: 1) Protect persons, property from flood damage by draining excess waters into the Atlantic Ocean 2) Recharge the aquifer with stormwater of good quality. Heavy rainfalls and flooding in the early 20th century precipitated the construction of a system of levees and canals throughout much of the Everglades area. These serve to organize water conservation areas and to move excess stormwater to the ocean. The portion of this system which services Hollywood is controlled chiefly by the Hollywood Canal (C-10). This canal extends through the heart of the City and north to the Dania Cut-Off Canal. The Hollywood Canal is tidal from the Dania Cut-Off Canal to the control at 46th Avenue on the western reach of the canal that parallels Sheridan Street. The need for protection from floods for the safety and well being of the community has resulted in the development of flood criteria to establish the minimum elevation at which crowns of roads may be constructed. The Broward County Commission adopted the flood criteria contours shown on Map DR-1 to indicate these minimum elevation requirements. The elevations are based on mean sea level information from the NGVD Survey Datum Among the requirements of the County for development is the floor level City of Hollywood [ICON] Utilities Element – Drainage UD-4 January 2008 requirement for residential property at 18" above the crown of the nearest road and a requirement of 6" above the crown of the nearest road for commercial property. These requirements were established after most of the streets of Hollywood had been paved. The costs involved in redesign and construction of streets to meet the criteria have been found to be prohibitive. The canal system within Hollywood is controlled by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The SFWMD operates and maintains the C-10 canal and establishes discharge limits for releases including those finger canals through the purifying process described in SFWMD permit information manual, Volume IV. SFWMD regulates discharge limitations to allow surplus capacity for future developments in the County and to preserve the aquifer recharge potential through performance based criteria for water management systems to be constructed by the developers on site. This policy encourages detention drainage systems consistent with the limitations set by SFWMD. Properties without access to canals or lakes must provide full on-site retention, which is usually provided through a system of french drains and deep swales of the adequate capacity to provide the required level of service. Most of the eastern part of the City (east of the Federal Highway (U.S. 1) and east of 16th Avenue, which was developed more than 30 years ago, drains the overflow from the intense storms through the positive drainage system, consisting of storm sewers or drainage ditches into the Intracoastal Waterway and the connected lakes. These waters are saline and subject to tidal influence, therefore they are not in SFWMD jurisdiction. Florida Department of Environmental Protection classified these waters as Type III (recreational use). Due to the historical redevelopment discharge of rainfall into these waters, no capacity limitations exist on the discharge. Only on-site detention and treatment of the first one-inch of runoff is required. The City operates and maintains drainage systems for City-owned streets. Flood protection provides for a 10-year storm event which determines street design elevation (Reference: Broward County 10-year Flood Criteria Map). Storm sewers are designed with the sufficient capacity to handle the stormwater from a 10-year event of the length equal to the time of concentration for the contributing area. Prior to discharge to surfaced ground water, best management practices are used to reduce pollutant discharge. Drainage system capacity for all new streets should be in conformance with these criteria. The streets that do not have a positive discharge outfall are designed for the same level of service; however, standards for a 3-year 1-hour storm event is used for the design of french drains (exfiltration trenches). Dry swale retention and pollution control structures are mandatory and provide aquifer recharge and pretreatment regardless of the method of disposal. In addition to the street storm sewers, the City also owns, operates, and maintains drainage ditches at 3 City-owned golf courses and 2 private ones primarily for golf course drainage. The City also owns and operates eight stormwater pumping stations, 4 of them located at the golf courses. Design capacity of these pumping stations is adequate to handle a 10-year, 1-hour storm in any 24 hour period. The pumps may be replaced and upgraded as the need arises with property approvals from the regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over receiving waters. The City of Hollywood's Engineering Support Services Department maintains a history of localized problem areas established through resident complaints that will require drainage improvements. Drainage improvements in the areas of the City that were developed more than 30 years ago are designed in the following preference order depending on feasibility: 1. Storm sewers with 10-year storm capacity and positive discharge whenever possible. 2. French drains designed with the sufficient capacity to handle the 3-year, 1-hour storm event (2.5 inches of rainfall), feasibility subject to ground water elevation and soil conditions. 3. Alternate solutions that may involve stormwater pumping, property acquisition, or other cost intensive surface water management solutions depending on site-specific conditions. The City of Hollywood is currently pursuing a plan of action for this area that includes the following: 1. Contract a consulting engineer to identify review problems and recommend a flexible solution. 2. Through the plant review and site plan review processes, the City is making sure proposed developments provide storm drainage management systems of capacity adequate to meet the level of service required as well as to provide drainage easements and facilities that will serve to maintain and improve the historical storm water flows across subject properties. The City has worked diligently to make capital improvements to the storm drainage system since 1990. Particular attention has been given to those areas east of Dixie Highway and US-1 developed more than 40 years ago and which frequently flood. On-site detention and retention improvements necessary to accommodate development are identified and required in conjunction with plat, site plan and/or building permit review. The City is designing drainage improvements and a pump station for the Eco Grande Golf Course. These improvements have an allotted $943,600 in the 2007 to 2011 Capital Improvements Program, which is to come form State Revolving Funds. Most of the residential streets were constructed with pervious swales that are graded to retain storm drainage. Over the years, these swales tend to be elevated by sand, rock, sod, tree roots, etc., which diminishes the swales' capacity. This in turn creates ponding in residential driveways following intense storms, but this condition has a rather short duration and the cost to eliminate or reduce this inconvenience would be excessive for the benefits received. The most significant impact that the existing drainage facilities have on adjacent natural resources is the effect of non-point source pollution on the canals and coastal areas. This is mitigated to some degree by tidal flushing but a number of controls have been recommended by the Broward County 2008 plan. As discussed in the Coastal Element, these include control of fertilizers and pesticides, increased use of permeable pavement, stricter control of marina discharges and improved handling of solid wastes, particularly solid wastes. ### Drainage Districts Although Hollywood is responsible for drainage within its boundaries, it shares this responsibility with two private drainage districts which fall partially within the City. They are the Central Broward Drainage District and the South Broward Drainage District. Both lie in the western area of Broward County and overlap the City's western borders. These districts and the City of Hollywood fall within the jurisdiction of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The facilities for drainage are operated by SFWMD primarily for the purpose of flood control and aquifer recharge. ### Level of Service The level of service standards for the City's drainage service areas are based on Florida Building Code (FBC), City's codes and ordinances, and standards and criteria for water management works from other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction. The minimum standards are as follows: | SUBJECT | ADOPTED LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD | | :--- | :--- | | Private Property: | Retain on property and dispose of 1/2 inch of storm runoff during any five minute period. | | Single Family: | Maintain minimum of 30% pervious area on site. | | Buildings: | To have the lowest floor elevation no lower than the elevation for the respective area depicted on the National Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for flood hazard areas based on 100 year flood elevation, or; for commercial properties 6 inches for residential properties 18 inches above the crown of the adjacent public street or road - whichever is the highest. | All commercial properties and residential properties with more than 10 parking spaces must obtain drainage permits for site development from other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction prior to obtaining a building permit from the City. Since the City of Hollywood is a built-out municipality with emphasis slowly shifting toward redevelopment and with only limited water management review and permitting conducted in house, the standards of Broward County (in most cases) and sometimes the South Florida Water Management District or Central and South Broward Drainage Districts are enforced on larger projects through regulatory programs. To increase the efficiency and eliminate duplication in the area of environmental regulation, Hollywood relies heavily on the Broward County which possesses the expertise and resources to enforce the following standards: ### Broward County Adopted Level of Service Standard | SUBJECT | ADOPTED LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD | | :--- | :--- | | Road Protection | Residential streets not greater than fifty feet wide right-of-way to have crown elevations no lower than the elevation for the respective area depicted on the ten year "Flood Criteria Map." | | | Rights-of-way greater than fifty feet wide to have an ultimate edge of pavement no lower than the elevation for the respective area depicted on the ten year "Flood Criteria Map." | | Buildings | To have the lowest floor elevation no lower than the elevation for the respective area depicted on the "100 Year Flood Criteria Map," or the FEMA Based Flood Elevation, whichever is higher. | | Off Site Discharge | Not to exceed the inflow limit of SFWMD primary receiving canal or the local conveyance system, whichever is less. | | Storm Sewers | Design frequency minimum to the three year rainfall intensity of the State Department of Transportation Zone 10 rainfall curves. | | Flood Plain | Calculated flood elevations based on the ten-year and one-hundred year return frequency rainfall of three day duration shall not exceed the corresponding elevations of the ten year "Flood Criteria Map" and "100-Year Flood Elevation Map." | | Antecedent Water | The higher elevation of either the control Level elevation or the elevation depicted on the map "Average Wet Season Water Levels." | On Site Storage | Minimum capacity above antecedent water level and below flood plain routing elevations to be design rainfall volume minus off site discharge occurring during design rainfall. --- | --- Best Management | Prior to discharge to surface or ground water, BMP’s will be used to reduce pollutant loading from stormwater runoff. These standards are enforced through regulatory programs of the SFWMD, Broward County, and the City of Hollywood. The submission of detailed drainage plans and calculation is required to show how conformance is to be achieved. Permits are not issued by the City without prior approval from the SFWMD and/or Broward County. The general performance of the existing drainage systems is good. The City typically targets specific drainage problem areas based on the criteria established in the City of Hollywood Master Drainage Plan and on drainage complaints. The complaints are submitted on a drainage complaint form via a link on the Public Utilities webpage and are assigned based on a priority point system. A complaint is then evaluated using a drainage compliance form (Exhibit DR-1) Criteria for assigning priority points including: location of the water on the site, source of the water, length of time water stands, whether or not the complainant is contributing to the problem. Map DR-4 shows the major drainage problem areas in the City. The City has handled a total of 2,452 complaints since 1993. The City does not provide drainage facilities for private property. Private drainage facilities must be constructed to meet the level of service required by the City and other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction. Ultimately, the control over new development is such that the capacity of the storm drainage management system will provide 100-year storm protection for the buildings, 10-year storm protection for the newly built and dedicated public right-of-way streets, and no floodplain encroachment. The capacity of Hollywood’s drainage facilities which take care of drainage in the areas developed prior to establishment of the rules currently in effect is of sufficient capacity to meet the current demand at the established level of service. The only exceptions are the three areas previously described, and possibly some isolated properties that are not characteristic for any one particular area. The isolated problems are handled through the drainage complaint process. Due to the availability of Community Development Block Grant for (CD 36) funding for the low income neighborhoods, some of the qualifying areas have been targeted for the drainage improvements as shown on the Map DR-4. The most significant impact the existing drainage facilities have on adjacent natural resources is the effect of non-point source pollution on the canals and coastal areas. This is mitigated to some degree by tidal flushing but a number of controls have been recommended by the Broward County 2008 Plan. As discussed in the Coastal Element, these include control of fertilizers and pesticides, increased use of permeable pavement, stricter control of marina discharges and improved handling of solid wastes, particularly solid wastes. The primary needs of the existing drainage systems revolve around maintenance. Development is required to provide the necessary drainage measures to neutralize any deficiency which will be created. Maintenance of existing systems is also the responsibility of property owners. To provide maintenance for existing systems, the City assigns a portion of annual monies received from the allocation of the State's 5% Gas Tax. Zoning regulations and the site plan process govern the specific uses of land, and development of natural drainage features and groundwater recharge areas are protected by the Land Use Plan. ## Aquifer Recharge The Biscayne Aquifer is currently the primary source of drinking water in the region, with the Floridan Aquifer also providing water. The Biscayne Aquifer is composed of highly permeable limestone and sand, and supplies large quantities of water of reliable quality, while the Floridan Aquifer requires the use of reverse osmosis at the City's water treatment facility. All water that recharges the Biscayne Aquifer is derived from local rainfall and surface water inflow. When rain falls to the surface, part is evaporated, part is used by plants, another portion runs off to surface waters, and the remainder percolates rapidly through the highly permeable limestone or sand soil to the water table. The less permeable the ground service (e.g., due to paving and construction), the less area there is for ground water recharge and the greater the possibility of contamination due to urban runoff. Map DR-5 indicates the generalized soil types found within the City. The water table fluctuates in response to local rainfall, natural discharge (seepage into streams, canals, estuaries, or evaporation), and withdrawal pumping for use by the population. High groundwater levels (the top of the water table being close to the surface) occur during the summer and fall months after the rainy season. Low levels occur during the winter and spring after the dry season, which is also the time of heaviest use. Currently, there are several hundred wells withdrawing water for distribution throughout the region for an average withdrawal rate of over 62.4 million gallons per day (MGD) for public supply, rural, industrial (self-supplied) irrigation, and thermoelectric power generation. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is responsible for regulating the quantity and some quality parameters of water in the region. The organization monitors and controls numerous drainage canals, levees, detention/retention areas, and water control structures. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also plays a major role in water and wetland management, flood control, and land use controlling wetlands. The SFWMD has not designated any area within developed Broward County as "prime groundwater recharge area. A major source of recharge to the Biscayne Aquifer in Broward County is the Everglades Water Conservation Areas. The three Water Conservation Areas (2A, 2B, and 3A) total 790 square miles and comprise approximately two-thirds of the County area. The SFWMD has designated certain LEC Urban Area Conservation areas which include: Hillsborough Pinelands, Tradewinds South (located in the City of Hollywood), and Fern Forest Basins I and II. Recharge occurs naturally as stormwater, which is stored and purified in the Conservation Areas, and seeps into the Aquifer. Wetlands, Relatively few acres of undeveloped wetlands are left in developable areas of the County (See Conservation Element). Other major sources include the system of canals in the developed areas of the County. The SFWMD measures water storage in the Conservation Areas by a network of water depth gauges. Low levels of water stored in the Conservation Areas are a prime consideration in the decision to release water from Lake Okeechobee into the canals for aquifer recharge and/or to declare a condition of drought. The Floridan Aquifer lies below the Biscayne Aquifer in this Region. This Aquifer contains water with a high salt content and, therefore, is not potable until treated by advanced methods of water treatment such as desalinization, removing the salt from saline waters to produce drinking water. As the demand for potable water has increased, this source of water for the Region has begun to be utilized as a source for supplemental water.

> Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services Protection of Resources The quality of water in the Biscayne Aquifer, as well as the quantity, is a limiting factor in the use of water from this resource. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is charged with regulating and maintaining safe drinking water supplies for the State. Since the Biscayne Aquifer is the Region's primary source aquifer, protection of the water contained within is essential to the quality of life in South Florida. Disturbances to the recharge areas of the Biscayne Aquifer to the cones of influence for wellfields may result in diminished recharge and the potential for degradation of water quality. Miami-Dade and Broward Counties have extensive wellfield protection ordinances which help prevent the contamination of the water supply. These ordinances apply to both existing and future wellfields, and are strictly enforced. Two major sources of pollution can affect the water quality of the region. Point source pollution is from a known direct source, as in an outfall pipe. Non-point source pollution does not have a known direct source, such as petroleum from boat motors. Areas not serviced by municipal or private wastewater treatment plants rely on septic tank/drainfield systems for liquid waste disposal. These systems involve a tank for settling solids and a drainfield which contains highly permeable soils with a substantial distance between the drainfield and the top of the water table. This allows for filtration of the effluent and some purification before it enters the groundwater supply. In South Florida, however, the water table is fairly close to the surface and often there is not sufficient filtration of septic effluent before it enters the groundwater. During times of heavy rainfall, when the water table may come up to the surface, the effluent may enter surface runoff. Many developments in the western part of the region were planned and built using septic tanks or package sewer plants since there were no treatment facilities at the time. As utility sewer service was extended to these areas for other developments, previous developments were not always retrofitted. There are still a large number of developments serviced by septic systems in the region. While the threat to the groundwater supply is not immediate, the cumulative effects of an increased number of septic systems may have an impact on the water supply in the future. Stormwater runoff as well as agricultural runoff can also be a potential pollutant sources. The stormwater runoff from rainfall may contain high concentrations of nutrients, heavy metals, petroleum products, and other harmful substances which enter regional surface waters. Agricultural runoff may contain pesticides, bacteria, and fertilizers which may be discharged into coastal estuaries. Often, this water is not properly retained or detained, allowing harmful substances to enter surface waters. To help decrease the impact of these potential pollutant sources the city has made some previsions. The City currently street sweeps and requires pervious swales. It also has pump out facilities for boats at the Marina and for motor-homes at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Boat maintenance at City dockage facilities. The City has developed a policy to regrade swales, increase width of swales and remove impervious surfaces from swales that exceed the limits allowed by code for driveway aprons. Siting of new facilities is controlled through the development review process, and in projects other than single family and duplex development, site plan review provides the City with the opportunity to ensure impact on adjacent lands is minimized. Improper handling of hazardous wastes can also threaten the area water supply of the area. Seepage of toxic substances which are not properly stored or managed can contaminate groundwater supplies. Water conservation and water reuse will prove to be critical to maintain an adequate water supply in the future. Water reuse systems, using treated water for non-consumptive purposes, will help alleviate pressures on the potable water supply. However, precaution must be taken to prevent cross connections within the potable water supply system. Enforcing conservation methods, such as restrictions on lawn watering or car washing during times when the water table is lowest, can also save a significant amount of water during critical times. The South Florida Water Management District has written a Model Water Shortage Ordinance which addresses the measures local governments can take during drought conditions. # III.

Introduction *This section presents the statutory overview and the project objective, including a brief description of the content in this report.* ## 1.1 Statutory Overview Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes (F.S.), requires local governments to prepare and adopt 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) approves a regional water supply plan or its update. The 2018 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update (2018 LECWSP Update) was adopted by the SFWMD’s Governing Board on November 8, 2018. Therefore, local governments within the Lower East Coast Region are required to amend their comprehensive plans and include an updated 10-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and related planning elements by May 8, 2020. The State of Florida requires that the 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Update address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies and management strategies, including conservation and reuse. The data and analyses, including population projections and water demands, must span at least a 10-year planning period and be consistent with the 2018 LECWSP Update. The data presented herein are for the planning period through the year 2040. ## 1.2 Objective The City of Hollywood’s Water Supply Facilities Work Plan is incorporated into the Potable Water Sub-Element of its Comprehensive Plan. Hazen and Sawyer was contracted by the City of Hollywood Department of Public Utilities (HLWD-DPU) to update the City’s 2015 Water Supply Facilities Work Plan to represent the year 2020 (WSFWP 2020 Update). The main objective of this update is to ensure that potable water service is available to concurrently support development over the next ten years. ## 1.3 Project Overview This WSFWP 2020 Update identifies water utilities that serve the City of Hollywood (City) jurisdiction and presents the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sale agreements, and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for a specific planning period while complying with regulatory requirements. Although this report is referred to as a 10-year work plan, the water demand forecast provided in this document extends to the year 2040, which is consistent with the SFWMD’s LECWSP Update. Section 1 Introduction This City of Hollywood WSFWP 2020 Update builds upon or utilizes the following documents: * City’s 2015 Water Supply Plan Potable Water Sub-Element; * SFWMD’s 2018 LECWSP Update; * Broward County’s Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2020; and, * City of Fort Lauderdale Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2020 Update. This WSFWP 2020 Update includes the following items: * Five-year population and water demand projections through the year 2040 within the City’s jurisdiction and HLWD-DPU’s service area. * Assessment of the City’s current water supply sources and treatment capacities. * Identification of alternative water supply projects for implementation including cost and schedule. * Recognition of the regional water supply planning issues that have the potential to impact the City. * Identification of water conservation and reuse practices and regulations within the City’s service area. * Identification of the HLWD-DPU capital improvement projects. * Demonstration that the City of Hollywood has coordinated with other service providers supplying water within the City’s jurisdiction (i.e. Broward County Water and Wastewater Services and the City of Fort Lauderdale) to ensure that short- and long-term water supply needs will be met. * Identification of Goals, Objectives, and Policies (GOP’s) required to implement the Work Plan and water supply concurrency requirements. It should be noted that because the Seminole Tribe of Florida reservation maintains its own water supply system, it is required to prepare its own Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. Detailed water demand projections for its service area are not included in the City’s WSFWP 2020 Update. This report is organized into the following sections. Section 1 – *Introduction* – presents the statutory overview and the project objective, including a brief description of the content in this report. Section 2 – *Water Service Area* – introduces the HLWD-DPU geographic service area and Section 1 Introduction population projections. This section also identifies the water utilities serving portions of the City and describes the City’s reuse water system. Section 3 – *Water Suppliers* – characterizes the water suppliers including consumptive use permit information, raw water sources, existing treatment facilities, and the City’s conservation and reuse practices. Section 4 – *Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy* - presents the methods, data and results of the water demand forecasts within the HLWD-DPU water service area and provides a comparison of future water demand to available water supply. This section demonstrates that the existing water supply permitted quantities, coupled with the City’s conservation and reuse practices, will meet projected demands through 2040. Section 5 – *Regional Issues* – summarizes the regional water supply planning issues that have the potential to impact the City. Section 6 – *Water Supply Capital Improvements* – identifies the capital improvements required to build public water supply facilities to serve the existing and new development within the City’s jurisdiction.

Water Service Areas This section introduces the HLWD-DPU geographic service area and population projections. This section also identifies the water utilities serving portions of the City and describes the City's reuse water system. ## 2.1 Potable Water Service Area The City of Hollywood (City), located in Broward County Florida, covers approximately 29 square miles bound by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and surrounded by seven cities, one town, a Seminole Tribe of Florida reservation, and unincorporated areas. Figure 2-1 illustrates the City of Hollywood jurisdiction, the HLWD-DPU water service area, and the neighboring municipalities. Except for Port Everglades, the City's jurisdiction is supplied with finished water produced at the City of Hollywood Water Treatment Plant (City's WTP). Port Everglades is supplied by the City of Fort Lauderdale Public Works Department. ### 2.1.1 City of Hollywood Potable Water System Service Area The City's WTP is operated by the HLWD-DPU. In 2018, the City's WTP produced approximately 21.9 million gallons per day (mgd) of potable water. The City's WTP supplies a retail service area, extending over most of the City's jurisdiction, and a wholesale service area covering Broward County Water and Wastewater Services (BCWWS) Districts 3A and 3B/C. In this report, these service areas are referred to as HLWD-DPU water retail area and HLWD-DPU water wholesale area. The BCWWS districts are served under an interlocal resale water agreement between the City and Broward County by which Broward County purchases potable water from HLWD-DPU for resale to its customers. Beyond the City's jurisdiction, the HLWD-DPU water retail area includes approximately 300 acres in the Town of Davie, 50 acres in the City of Dania Beach, and 100 acres in the Seminole Tribe of Florida reservation. In addition to retail and wholesale water services, HLWD-DPU has an emergency connection with the City of Dania Beach, which withdraws water from the HLWD-DPU system to maintain its system pressure. In 2018, the City supplied only a nominal amount (less than 1,000 gallons per day) on a regular basis to the City of Dania Beach. Section 2 Water Service Areas <

BCWWS District 3A has two wholesale interconnects with HLWD-DPU. Districts 3B/C are interconnected and connect to HLWD-DPU via two wholesale interconnects each. Like District 3A, they are supplied solely by HLWD-DPU. BCWWS District 3B covers approximately four-square miles and includes the cities of West Park and Pembroke Park. BCWWS District 3C covers approximately two square miles containing portions of the cities of Hollywood, Miramar, and Pembroke Pines. These BCWWS districts fall mainly outside the City's jurisdiction except for the 400-acre southwest corner of the City of Hollywood located south of Hollywood Boulevard and west of State Road 7, which is served by BCWWS District 3C (See Figure 2-1). Small areas in the City's jurisdiction are served by BCWWS District 3A. ## 2.1.3 Port Everglades Port Everglades purchases potable water from the City of Fort Lauderdale through five metered connections at the following locations: * 10-inch meter at Southeast 17th Street * 12-inch meter at Southeast 20th Street * 8-inch meter at Southeast 24th Street * 16-inch meter at Southeast Eller Drive / Old South Federal Highway * 10-inch meter at 900 Southeast 28th Street Port Everglades distributes this potable water to various commercial and industrial users within its boundaries, such as passenger cruise ships, cargo container ships, and commercial businesses. ## 2.1.4 Summary of Water Service Areas Supplying the City of Hollywood In summary, three water utilities supply the City of Hollywood jurisdiction: (1) HLWD-DPU, (2) BCWWS, and (3) the City of Fort Lauderdale Public Works Department. The first two utilities are supplied by the City's WTP and deliver potable water to the entire City except for Port Everglades, which is supplied by the City of Fort Lauderdale Public Works Department. Table 2-1 tabulates the number of square miles covered by each potable water service area in and out of the City's jurisdiction. There are no anticipated changes in the size or coverage of these potable water service areas. Section 2 Water Service Areas Table 2-1.

Less than one percent of the land area in the City is developable vacant land and most of these parcels are infill lots scattered throughout the City. Overall, the City is close to build-out and redevelopment is expected to accommodate the projected increases in population. The historic population served by the HLWD-DPU from 2014 to 2018 is provided in Table 2-2. Population forecast for the period 2020 through 2040 is provided in Table 2-3. The historic population is based on population data provided in the City's 2015 Water Supply Plan Potable Water Sub-Element and the Broward County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2020. The population forecast was also taken from the Broward County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2020. Historic and projected populations were based on the County's allocation of population to Utility Analysis Zones (UAZs). Table 2-2.

HLWD-DPU delivers up to 4 mgd, on an annual average daily flow basis, of blended low-salinity reuse water for irrigation. The chloride levels of this reuse water are within the salt tolerance of local turf grasses and ornamentals. In addition, up to an annual average 4 mgd of high-salinity reuse water is used internally at the City's Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant for non-potable process water and plant washdown. The City is implementing 10 mgd of feasible reuse capacity by 2025 through credit for existing on-site process reuse, additional reuse applications within the City, and contracted reuse with other utilities. The existing reuse distribution system serves golf courses, public medians, private developments, athletic complexes and parks that have a relatively large irrigation demand. These customers are the most cost-effective to serve. Table 2-4 summarizes the capacity and FY 2018 reclaimed water flows of the City's reuse system by type of reuse application. Table 2-4.

Section 2 Water Service Areas The existing reuse system could be expanded to incorporate additional contract, residential and commercial customers. Table 2-5 identifies potential additional reuse customers (future committed and future non-committed) and their estimated water reuse demands. Expansion would be subject to the availability of suitable-quality water. Table 2-5. Potential Expanded Reuse System Customers | Future Committed | mgd | | :--- | :--- | | T.Y.

Water Suppliers This section characterizes the water suppliers including consumptive use permit information, raw water sources, existing treatment facilities, and the City’s conservation and reuse practices. As described in Section 2, the City of Hollywood is served, for the most part, by the City’s own potable water system. The water suppliers of the City’s residents and businesses include the following. City of Hollywood Potable Water System: Serves most of the City’s jurisdiction and several small areas outside of the City as illustrated in Figure 2-1. City of Hollywood Reclaimed (Reuse) Water System: Provides irrigation water to customers and non-potable water for in-plant uses at the City’s wastewater plant. Broward County Water System: The County purchases finished water supplied by the City of Hollywood from the City’s WTP and resells it to a small portion of the City’s jurisdiction and to other retail customers in BCWWS District 3A and B/C service areas. City of Fort Lauderdale Water System: Serves Port Everglades. ## 3.1 City of Hollywood Potable Water System The HLWD-DPU operates the City’s potable water system, which includes a raw water supply system, a water treatment plant, and a distribution system. They are described as follows. ### 3.1.1 Raw Water Supply The City’s WTP treats water from the City’s Biscayne Aquifer and Floridan Aquifer wellfields and water from Broward County’s Biscayne Aquifer wells at the South Regional Wellfield (SRW). Raw water from the Biscayne Aquifer is of high quality and raw water from the deeper Floridan Aquifer is brackish and requires reverse osmosis treatment. Table 3-1 lists the City’s Biscayne Aquifer and Floridan Aquifer withdrawal wells. Section 3 Water Suppliers ### Table 3-1.

Biscayne Aquifer Fresh groundwater from the Biscayne Aquifer is accessed via the City's wellfields and Broward County's SRW. The City has two Biscayne Aquifer wellfields called the South and Western (a.k.a. Chaminade) wellfields. Biscayne wells No. 20 and 21 (BW-20 and BW-21), referred to as the North wellfield, were abandoned and plugged in 2009. The Southern and Western wellfields are comprised of 14 shallow wells with depths ranging from 75 to 155 feet. The total raw water pumping capacity of the Biscayne wells is currently 30,000 gpm (or 43.0 mgd). The total production capacity available from the Biscayne wells significantly exceeds the amount of water that can be withdrawn under the City's water use permit, which limits maximum-month withdrawals to an average daily withdrawal of 27.03 mgd. Broward County provides raw water to the City from the SRW under a four-year raw water large user agreement dated 1994 that is automatically renewed every four years unless terminated by either party. An annual average daily quantity not to exceed 5.78 mgd is available to the City under this agreement and the City is required to take or pay for 4.0 mgd. The SRW is comprised of eight wells, each with a capacity of 4.0 mgd, providing a total design capacity of 32 mgd. The firm capacity is about 28 mgd with one well out of service. The SRW is in the western part of the County at Brian Piccolo Park. ### 3.1.1.2. Floridan Aquifer Raw water from the Floridan Aquifer, which is a brackish water supply, is accessed via the City's Floridan wellfield. The Floridan wellfield is comprised of eight wells that extend about 1,185 to 1,314 feet below ground. The total raw water pumping capacity of the active Floridan wells is 7,900 gpm (or 11.2 mgd). ### 3.1.1.3. Water Supply Allocation The City's Water Use Permit No. 06-00038-W, issued on April 10, 2008, provides limits to the annual and monthly withdrawals from the City's two Biscayne Aquifer wellfields and the City's Floridan Aquifer wellfield. These limitations are summarized in Table 3-2 and were established under the requirements of the District's Regional Water Availability (RWA) Rule. This Rule limits groundwater withdrawals from the Biscayne Aquifer to the maximum quantity during any consecutive five years preceding April 2006 and requires that alternative water supplies be used to meet additional demands. The City of Hollywood's alternative water supply is the Floridan Aquifer. The total annual average daily withdrawal limit is 24.80 mgd from the City's two Biscayne Aquifer wellfields and 8.68 mgd from the Floridan Aquifer. The total allowable withdrawal from these sources is 33.48 mgd. In addition, the City has an agreement with Broward County to purchase 5.78 mgd of Biscayne Aquifer raw water from the County's SRW. This purchase agreement increases the City's available raw water supply to 39.26 mgd. Section 3 Water Suppliers Table 3-2.

The City has established and expanded its Floridan Aquifer water supply and treatment capacity to meet forecasted increases in water demand and to incorporate a more drought- resistant water source that improves water supply reliability. ### 3.1.2 Treatment Processes The City’s WTP has been in continuous operation for almost 85 years and consists of the following treatment processes: * Lime Softening (LS) * Membrane Softening (MS) * Reverse Osmosis (RO) Raw water from the City’s Biscayne Aquifer wellfields is treated using LS and MS treatment processes. In addition, some Biscayne Aquifer raw water is blended with the softened water from the LS and MS systems to help balance water quality and efficiently use the available Biscayne Aquifer allocation. Although raw water piping from both Biscayne Aquifer wellfields and the SRW is interconnected at the plant, the MS units reportedly treat a higher percentage of SRW water, which tends to be more highly colored (MS is more effective at reducing color). Raw water from the Floridan Aquifer is treated using the RO treatment process. Table 3-3 summarizes the existing firm and nominal water treatment capacities of each treatment system. As shown in the table, the existing total firm and nominal water treatment capacities of the City’s water treatment facilities are 40.5 mgd and 46.0 mgd, respectively. City of Hollywood Public Utilities Potable Water Sub-Element – Water Supply Plan 14 Section 3 Water Suppliers The average treatment losses of the LS, MS, and RO treatments are 2, 13, and 20 percent, respectively. Treatment losses for the LS facility were estimated based on data from water plant Monthly Operating Reports (MORs). Treatment losses for the MS and RO facilities are based on design and operational criteria. Table 3-3. Water Treatment Processes and Capacities | Treatment System | Units in Service Assumed For Firm Capacity | Existing Firm and Nominal Finished Water Treatment Capacities (mgd) | Treatment Losses | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Lime Softening (LS) | Nine units in service out of twelve total | Firm: 22.5 mgd Nominal: 24.0 mgd | 2 percent | | Membrane Softening (MS) | Six trains in service out of seven total | Firm: 12.0 mgd Nominal: 14.0 mgd | 13 percent | | Reverse Osmosis (RO) | Three trains in service out of four total | Firm: 6.0 mgd Nominal: 8.0 mgd | 20 percent | | Total (all three systems) | Described above | Firm: 40.5 mgd Nominal: 46.0 mgd | N/A | Source: City of Hollywood Public Utilities Department and 2007 Water Master Plan ### 3.1.2.1 Lime Softening System The primary water treatment for the LS system is achieved by a process known as fluidized bed crystallization. The City's LS system consists of 12 fluidized bed crystallization units (Spiractors) followed by 18 dual media filters. Each Spiractor has a conservatively estimated capacity of approximately 2.5 mgd, producing a total capacity of 30 mgd and a firm capacity of 22.5 mgd with three Spiractors offline. Lime is stored in silos and is constantly fed to the Spiractors at an approximate rate of 200 mg/L. There are a total of six lime silos at the City's WTP (four 50 ton and two 100 ton). The 18 multimedia filters following the Spiractors have a maximum surface loading rate of 2.0 gpm/ft², but the plant prefers to conservatively operate its six larger filters at 1.5 gpm/ft². Using these loading rates, the LS system has a total nominal capacity of 24 mgd and a firm capacity of 22.5 mgd, with the maximum production capacity being limited by the filters. Since the current loading rates are relatively conservative, up-rating the filters may be feasible in the future, if the City has an opportunity to expand its Biscayne Aquifer supply. The capacities of the Spiractors and membrane system (described below) together are adequate to be able to fully utilize the City's Biscayne Aquifer allocation. ### 3.1.2.2 Membrane Softening System The City's MS system consists of seven operational treatment trains and three available slots for future installation of additional MS trains. Raw water from the Biscayne Aquifer is treated with sulfuric acid and a proprietary anti-scalant to protect the membranes from scaling. The raw water is filtered through 5 µm cartridge filters prior to entering the membrane to protect against particulate fouling or damage. Each MS skid has a production capacity of 2.0 mgd, Section 3 Water Suppliers and there are seven skids currently in operation. Therefore, the firm capacity of the MS system is 12 mgd and the nominal capacity is 14 mgd. Each train consists of a feed pump and 54 pressure vessels arranged into a three-stage configuration. Each pressure vessel holds seven membrane elements. Each MS train is designed to operate at 87 percent recovery, which means that approximately 2.3 mgd of feed water is required to produce 2.0 mgd of permeate. Since future capacity expansion is expected to use water from the Floridan Aquifer, the MS system will likely remain at its current capacity in the long term. ### 3.1.2.3 Reverse Osmosis System The City’s RO system consists of four RO skids and four available slots to facilitate the installation of additional RO treatment trains. Raw water from the Floridan Aquifer is treated with sulfuric acid and a proprietary anti-scalant to protect the membranes from scaling. The raw water is filtered through 5 µm cartridge filters prior to entering the membrane to protect against particulate fouling or damage. The four RO skids that are currently in place have finished water production capacities of 2.0 mgd and each operate at 80 percent recovery. At this recovery rate, 2.5 mgd of raw water is needed to produce 2.0 mgd of finished water. Therefore, the total finished water capacity of the RO system is 8.0 mgd and the firm capacity is 6.0 mgd. ### 3.1.2.4 Disinfection System The City currently uses chloramines to provide primary disinfection and a secondary residual for the distribution system. Sodium Hypochlorite 12% solution is added to the water, and a brief sodium hypochlorite contact time is provided prior to the addition of ammonia to form chloramines. The City’s Sodium Hypochlorite 12% solution is stored in nine (seven 10,000 gallons and two 7,000 gallons) fiberglass storage tanks. The City’s ammonia system consists of two 1,000-gallon ammonia gas storage tanks and four rotameters (three 100 lb./day units and one 250 lb./day unit). To maintain a residual of 4.0 mg/L chloramines, 0.85 mg/L ammonia must be added to maintain a ratio of chlorine to ammonia within a recommended range of 4.5:1 to 5.0:1, with a target of 4.7:1. At this dosage, the ammoniators have the capability to treat 77.6 mgd with all four units in service, and 42.3 mgd with the largest (250 lb./day) rotameter offline. ### 3.1.2.5 Degasifier System The City’s degasifier system reduces the carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in both the MS-treated water and RO-treated water and the hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) levels in RO-treated water, via air stripping. Sulfuric acid is added to lower the pH of the Floridan Aquifer water to aid in H₂S removal prior to countercurrent air stripping through a packed tower. The MS-treated Biscayne Aquifer water does not require additional pretreatment prior to stripping. The WTP has four forced-draft, packed-tower degasifiers. Each degasifier unit includes an 18,000-cfm fan, a 13.5 feet diameter by 24 feet overall height tower, and 12 feet of packing. Two Section 3 Water Suppliers degasifiers are designed to remove CO₂ from the MS permeate with discharge of the tower exhaust to the atmosphere. One degasifier is designed to remove H₂S from the RO permeate with discharge of the tower exhaust to an odor control scrubber. The fourth degasifier is a standby unit for both systems, which can discharge exhaust gas either to the atmosphere or to the odor control scrubber. The degasification system is adequate to treat the MS and RO flows that the plant currently produces. The upgrades to the odor scrubber system allow the plant to run all four of its RO skids without generating nuisance odors. ### 3.1.3 Post-Treatment Degasified permeate from the MS and RO systems drains to a 250,000-gallon blend tank where it mixes with LS water. The secondary treatment in the blend tank includes addition of sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda, and fluoride. Water from the blend tank is pumped into the onsite ground storage tanks. ### 3.1.4 Storage The City has 18 million gallons of total finished water storage capacity including 2 MG stored in two separate 1 MG elevated storage tanks within the distribution system, 11 MG of ground storage on-site at the WTP, and 5 MG of ground storage located at the West Hollywood Storage and Pumping Facility located near Sheridan St. and 68th Avenue. The tankage present at each location is detailed below. At the plant, a total of five ground storage tanks are available. Water from the blend tank flows into parallel lines that feed two 3.5 MG tanks. Water from these two tanks is discharged into a manifold that feeds three parallel 1.0 MG storage tanks. These three storage tanks then combine into another manifold that feeds a 1 MG high service pumping clearwell. Inclusive of the clearwell, the combined finished water storage inventory (on-site) is 11 MG. The breakdown of the 11 MG on-site finished water storage capacity is indicated below. * Clearwell: 1 MG * Tank # 2: 1 MG * Tank # 3: 1 MG * Tank # 4: 1 MG * Tank # 5: 3.5 MG * Tank # 6: 3.5 MG The on-site finished water storage tanks provide operational storage required to equalize diurnal demands and provide for emergency storage (fire flows). According to the most recent Water Master Plan, they hold approximately six hours flow when all treatment systems are operating at designed capacity. The water levels in the tanks are typically maintained between Section 3 Water Suppliers low (50 percent) and high (85 percent) operating limits to accommodate short-term system changes in the system demand. The tanks are all interconnected and are maintained at the same level. ### 3.1.5 High Service Pumps The City’s WTP has two High Service Pump (HSP) stations that pump finished water from on-site storage tanks at the WTP to the City’s distribution system. The main HSP station, referred to as the high service pump room, houses six split- case horizontal centrifugal pumps and their respective motor control centers. The six pumps, aligned in parallel, draw water from clear wells and pump into a common 42-inch discharge header. The secondary HSP station, referred to as the aeration building pump station, is primarily used to complement the required constant operation of the main pumping station. The facility houses four split-case horizontal pumps with their respective motor control centers. The pumps and motors located in this facility are paired up and are arranged in series. These pumps draw water from a 1.0 MG storage tank and pump into a common 20-inch discharge header. ### 3.1.6 Distribution System The City’s WTP has three discharge mains that supply water into the distribution system transmission lines as follows: * 24-inch water main (South header); * 30- inch water main (West header); and * 20-inch water main (Bypass header). The City’s water distribution system consists of: * Approximately 700 miles of water main pipe ranging from 2-inch to 36-inch diameter; * Two elevated 1.0 MG storage tanks; * The West Hollywood Pumping and Storage Facility which includes four 1,700 gpm vertical turbine pumps to boost system pressure, chemical dosing to boost system disinfection residual, and two 2.5 mgd aboveground storage tanks; and, * Approximately 40,000 connections, over 2,500 fire hydrants, and over 7,500 valves. The piping diameter ranges and lengths are presented in Table 3-4. The distribution system piping is comprised of a variety of materials, including cast iron, galvanized iron, polyvinyl chloride, ductile iron, and asbestos cement. Section 3 Water Suppliers Table 3-4: City of Hollywood Water Distribution System Pipe Diameters | Diameter (inches) | Approximate Length (miles) | | :--- | :--- | | 16 to 30 | 30 | | 6 to 14 | 480 | | < 4 | 200 | ## 3.2 Broward County Water System Finished water from the City’s WTP is supplied to the BCWWS Districts 3A and 3B/3C. The water customers in these Districts are Broward County’s retail water customers and a small area, less than one square mile, is within the City’s jurisdiction. The raw water sources and treatment plant facilities supplying these areas were described previously in this section. ## 3.3 City of Fort Lauderdale Water System According to its Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2020 Update, the City of Fort Lauderdale provides potable water service to a population of approximately 239,000 residents and six wholesale customers in central Broward County. Port Everglades is one of Fort Lauderdale’s wholesale water customers. Fort Lauderdale’s Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2020 Update accounts for Port Everglades’ water demand as part of its overall aggregate demand projection. The City of Fort Lauderdale supplies its retail and wholesale customers with treated raw water from the Prospect wellfield at the Fiveash Water Treatment Plant and from the Dixie wellfield at the Peele-Dixie Water Treatment Plant. Both the Prospect and Dixie wellfields are permitted by the SFWMD under Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) No. 06-00123-W. Both wellfields withdraw raw water from the Biscayne Aquifer. The Peele-Dixie system supplies Port Everglades. The Dixie wellfield is comprised of eight 2.5 mgd rated wells and has an installed capacity of approximately 20 mgd. The existing CUP limits the maximum-day withdrawal of this wellfield to 15 mgd. The existing Peele-Dixie Water Treatment Plant is a nanofiltration treatment plant placed into service in 2008. The plant has a maximum installed finished water treatment capacity of 12 mgd with all units in service. ## 3.4 City of Hollywood Reclaimed Water System Reclaimed water is a critical component in effectively managing water resources. Effective water management employs diverse water resources to strike an appropriate balance among resource conservation, development cost, and sustainability. Reclaimed water, when of suitable quality, may be used for many purposes including, but not limited to: Section 3 Water Suppliers * Irrigation of golf courses, parks, medians, residential lots, school landscaping, and other green space; * Cooling water and process water; * Decorative lakes, ponds, and fountains; * Car washing, toilet flushing, and dust control; * Agricultural irrigation and irrigation at nurseries; * Wetlands creation, restoration, and enhancement; and, * Recharging groundwater aquifers. The HLWD-DPU operates a reclaimed (reuse) water system at the City-owned Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWWTP). The SRWWTP collects, treats, and discharges approximately 42 mgd of secondary-treated wastewater into the Atlantic Ocean and to the underground Boulder Zone via deep injection wells. Since chloride and TDS levels prevent the City from reusing SRWWTP effluent without desalination (RO) treatment, the City has implemented its existing reuse system using the low-salinity effluent from the Town of Davie and City of Cooper City, which pump their effluent to the SRWWTP. The City’s existing water reuse system has a rated capacity of 8.0 mgd of which 4.0 mgd is available to irrigate landscaping and 4.0 mgd is available for non-potable in-plant uses such as foam control, washdown water, and process make-up water. ### 3.5 Ocean Outfall Legislation In 2008, the State Legislature promulgated Ocean Outfall Legislation (OOL) which requires that all utilities in the State of Florida eliminate wastewater effluent discharges from their ocean outfalls by 2025, except during peak flow events. The rule also requires that utilities provide technically, economically, and environmentally feasible reuse of 60 percent of a base condition annual average flow by December 31, 2025. The legislation also requires this facility to reduce the mass loading of nitrogen and phosphorus from the outfall by 2018. The City has elected to comply with this requirement by shifting outfall flows to its deep injection well system, thereby reducing the mass loading of nitrogen and phosphorus being discharged through the outfall. The OOL provides that alternative water supply capacity allocated to meet the utility’s water supply needs prior to July 2011 may not be displaced and “stranded”. The City of Hollywood has been investing in its Floridan Aquifer supply and treatment system since the mid-1990s and has developed and installed 6.00 mgd of firm RO treatment capacity and 8.68 mgd of Florida Aquifer water supply withdrawal capacity. Consequently, it is not anticipated that reuse may be feasibly utilized to meet anticipated water demand growth through the planning Section 3 Water Suppliers horizon, as that will be fully supplied by its existing Biscayne Aquifer and Floridan Aquifer supply and treatment infrastructure. Also, as explained above, the salinity of the City’s wastewater effluent precludes direct reuse without extensive treatment (RO) beyond what is typical for providing irrigation-quality reuse water. Shortly after the OOL was passed, the City assessed effluent disposal alternatives to meet the OOL requirement for the elimination of all effluent disposals through the outfall (Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Ocean Outfall Compliance Report, December 2009). As the plan was being developed, the City explored reuse options that included implementation of a dual irrigation system at an estimated cost of $1 billion. The City invested $3 million in a pilot study that evaluated the technology requirements to implement recharge of the Floridan Aquifer. These alternatives faced significant challenges that limited their feasibility. In a status report (mandated by the OOL) to the Governor and State Legislature, the FDEP acknowledged that Hollywood faced unique challenges in its development of a feasible reuse program. The FDEP indicated that it will work with the City to ensure that the most feasible reuse options are implemented by December 31, 2025. The City developed a refined functional reuse compliance plan and closely coordinated with the FDEP to solicit its input at various stages during the development phase. In a letter dated January 13th, 2016, the FDEP documented the results of its evaluation and identified the elements of the City’s plan that constitute feasible reuse. The FDEP findings were based on reviewing documents and studies furnished by the City and the outcomes of meetings between the FDEP and the City. Key elements of the City’s compliance plan were determined to constitute feasible reuse and meet the OOL legislative requirements including the following items. * Credit for Existing Onsite Process Reuse – 4 mgd (filtered brackish effluent) * Additional Reuse within the City – 1.5 mgd (committed customer capacity) * Contracted Reuse – 4.5 mgd These efforts correspond to a total of 10 mgd of feasible reuse to be accomplished by the December 2025 deadline. Credit for Existing Onsite Reuse - The existing 4 mgd brackish effluent filtration capacity is being fully utilized based on recent operating history (since 2012). Consequently, no further action or capital investment is required to receive the 4 mgd credit for process water reuse applications. Use of Reclaimed Water for Irrigation – The City of Hollywood has contracts with 10 customers and commitments with 11 additional customers to use up to 3.4 mgd of reclaimed water from the City. Additional customers have been identified that may be served in the future. Section 3 Water Suppliers Contracted Reuse – The City of Hollywood is in the process of entering into an interlocal agreement with the City of Miramar by which Miramar will provide a minimum 2.0 mgd AADF of contract reuse water by December 31, 2025 which will be credited to Hollywood for the purpose of satisfying 2.0 mgd of Hollywood’s reuse water requirement under the OOL for a 30-year agreement term. The status of the City of Hollywood’s OOL compliance is provided in Table 3-5. The total installed or contracted reclaimed water capacity is 9.4 mgd of the required 10.0 mgd. Table 3-5. Status of City of Hollywood’s FDEP OOL Compliance with respect to Reclaimed Water | Requirement | Installed Reclaimed Water Capacity in mgd | | :--- | :--- | | Onsite reuse at Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant | 4.0 | | Irrigation use by customers | 3.4 | | Miramar contract reuse | 2.0 | | **Total** | **9.4** | ## 3.6 City of Hollywood Water Conservation Program The average gallons per capita per day (gpcd) over all customers served by the HLWD-DPU, including retail and wholesale customers, fell from a five-year average of 127 gpcd in 2008 to 114 gpcd in 2013. The five-year average in 2018 remained steady at 113 gpcd. The historic gpcd from 2004 to 2018 is provided in Table 3-6. The reduction in gpcd is due to a variety of conservation efforts that include a plumbing fixture replacement program, public education, year-round irrigation restrictions, replacement of aging (leaky) water mains, and other measures. The impact of the City’s efforts appears to be permanent because gpcd did not rebound during the recent economic recovery. Florida Statute 373.250(1) recognizes the importance of conservation and gives it equal consideration with reuse in promoting the public interest. Conservation programs are effective in producing the same water use impact as using reclaimed water at a fraction of the cost. Section 3 Water Suppliers ### Table 3-6.

Finished water production data from 2013 to 2018 are from the City WTP Monthly Operating Reports. The City’s Water Conservation Plan was developed with the goal of maximizing the City’s water use efficiency and reducing overall potable water demand. The City’s water conservation plan includes recommendations on water conservation measures and best management practices (BMPs) that the City has elected to implement to reduce its per-capita potable water consumption over time and “free up” available water resources to support future growth. The City has implemented the following water conservation BMPs. 1. Private Irrigation System Audit and Rebate Program 2. City promotion of Florida-friendly landscape practices and use of native plants to reduce irrigation water use. (This BMP resulted in the City becoming a National Wildlife Federation (NWF) Community Habitat in 2018. The City uses the NWF and Broward County “naturescapes” to help promote better landscape BMPs.) 3. Expansion of Reuse Projects Section 3 Water Suppliers 4. Water-Efficient Landscape and Irrigation Evaluations 5. High Efficiency Toilet (HET) Rebates 6. Retrofit Kit Giveaways 7. Water Use Evaluations 8. Restaurant Rinse Valve Replacement 9. City-adopted landscape irrigation limited to twice per week year-round The City is a committed member of the Broward Water Partnership Conservation Program that has a goal of saving 30 mgd county-wide. This program was launched in 2011 and consists of 19 municipalities and water utilities that collaborate on water conservation implementation. In 2019, the US Environmental Protection Agency recognized the Broward Water Partnership with a WaterSense® Promotional Partner of the Year Award for “its heroic efforts to defeat water waste and promote WaterSense® in 2018”. The Broward Water Partnership was one of 25 recipients. # 4. Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy This section presents the methods, data and results of the water demand forecasts within the HLWD-DPU water service area and provides a comparison of future water demand to available water supply. This section also documents the inclusion of Port Everglades in the City of Fort Lauderdale WSP 2020 Update. This section demonstrates that the existing water supply permitted quantities, coupled with the City's conservation and reuse practices, will meet projected demands through 2040. The City provides retail water service to residents of the City of Hollywood and small portions of the Town of Davie, the City of Dania Beach, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida reservation. The City provides wholesale potable water service to Broward County through pipelines that serve the County's retail water customers located in its Districts 3A and 3B/C. District 3A serves residents and businesses in portions of the Town of Davie, the City of Dania Beach, the City of Hollywood, the City of Fort Lauderdale and unincorporated Broward County. District 3B/C serves residents and businesses in the City of West Park, the Town of Pembroke Park, and portions of the City of Hollywood, the City of Pembroke Pines, and the City of Miramar. The City's WTP is the sole source of treated water to these customers. Port Everglades is in the City of Hollywood but receives water service from the City of Fort Lauderdale. The City of Hollywood has no plans to provide raw or finished water to any retail or wholesale customer outside of its existing water service area. According to the interlocal resale agreement between the City and Broward County, the County will annually review and project its future needs for potable water demand in terms of annual average daily flow and annual maximum daily flow. In turn, the City will use these annual projections as reasonable estimates for planning, expansion, construction, modification, or alteration of the City's facilities. Therefore, the water demand forecast provided in this Section uses the most recent projections for Districts 3A and 3B/C provided in Table WS13 of the Broward County Water Facilities Work Plan 2020. The County's Districts 3A and 3B/C forecasts of water demand in annual average daily mgd are provided in Table 4-1. Section 4 Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy Table 4-1.

The annual average water use of the City’s retail customers measured as gallons per capita per day over the five-year period from 2014 to 2018 is 108.6. This value was used to forecast City of Hollywood Public Utilities Potable Water Sub-Element – Water Supply Plan 26 Section 4 Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy annual average daily water demand by the City’s retail customers. The average maximum day factor over the same period is 1.17. This value was used to forecast maximum day demand that needs to be supplied by the City’s WTP. The population projection for the City of Hollywood’s retail water service area in 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035 and 2040 was obtained from Table WS7 of the Broward County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2020. The 108.6 gpcd was multiplied by the City’s retail population forecast to obtain the daily water demand in gallons. The resulting retail water demand forecast is provided in Table 4.3. **Table 4.3 City of Hollywood Retail Finished Water Demand Forecast** | Year | Population - City Retail Customers (a) | Retail Finished Water Demand | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | GPCD | Annual Average Day (mgd) | | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) = (3) x (2) / 10^6 | | 2018 - Actual | 144,439 | 105.6 | 15.3 | | 2020 | 146,180 | 108.6 | 15.9 | | 2025 | 150,380 | 108.6 | 16.3 | | 2030 | 156,640 | 108.6 | 17.0 | | 2035 | 161,270 | 108.6 | 17.5 | | 2040 | 164,432 | 108.6 | 17.9 | (a) Broward County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan 2020, Table WS4 and Table WS7 To obtain the water demand that needs to be supplied by the City’s WTP, the retail water demand forecast in Table 4.3 was added to the wholesale water demand forecast in Table 4-1. The resulting forecast of the City’s water demand is provided in Table 4.4. **Table 4.4 Finished Water Demand Forecast in the City of Hollywood Water Service Area** | Year | Annual Average Daily Demand in mgd | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Retail | Districts 3A and 3B/C | Total | | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) = (2) + (3) | | 2018 - Actual (a) | 15.26 | 6.67 | 21.93 | | 2020 | 15.88 | 6.91 | 22.79 | | 2025 | 16.34 | 7.24 | 23.57 | | 2030 | 17.02 | 7.65 | 24.67 | | 2035 | 17.52 | 7.92 | 25.44 | | 2040 | 17.86 | 8.10 | 25.96 | (a) The 2018 demand value used for Districts 3A and 3B/C is from Table 4.2. Section 4 Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy The forecasted maximum day water demand that needs to be supplied by the City’s WTP is provided in Table 4.5. Table 4.5 City of Hollywood Maximum Day Water Demand Forecast | Year | Annual Average Daily Water Demand from WTP, mgd | Max Day Factor | Max Day Demand, mgd | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) = (2) x (3) | | 2018 - Actual | 21.9 | 1.20 | 26.2 | | 2020 | 22.8 | 1.17 | 26.6 | | 2025 | 23.6 | 1.17 | 27.5 | | 2030 | 24.7 | 1.17 | 28.8 | | 2035 | 25.4 | 1.17 | 29.7 | | 2040 | 26.0 | 1.17 | 30.3 | The annual average daily water demand forecast was used to estimate the amount of raw water that would be needed from the Biscayne and Floridan aquifers including water lost due to treatment. The average treatment losses of the LS, MS, and RO treatments are 2, 13, and 20 percent, respectively. The weighted average treatment loss over all the water produced was estimated based on historical raw water withdrawals and corresponding finished water production as follows. The historical annual average withdrawals from the Biscayne and Floridan aquifers are provided in Table 4.6. Table 4.6 City of Hollywood WTP Historical Raw Water Annual Average Withdrawals | Year | Biscayne Aquifer (mgd) | Floridan Aquifer (mgd) | Total (mgd) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) = (2) + (3) | | 2014 | 21.42 | 1.90 | 23.3 | | 2015 | 20.76 | 3.70 | 24.5 | | 2016 | 21.03 | 3.91 | 24.9 | | 2017 | 21.37 | 2.71 | 24.1 | | 2018 | 20.34 | 4.84 | 25.2 | Source: City of Hollywood WTP Monthly Operating Reports The annual percent treatment loss considering all treatment processes over the period 2014 through 2018 is provided in Table 4.7. The historic average annual treatment loss over the period is approximately nine percent. Section 4 Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy ### Table 4.7 City of Hollywood WTP Annual Percent Treatment Loss Associated With All Treatment Processes | Year | Annual Average (mgd) | | Percent Treatment Loss (%) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | **Raw Water Withdrawal** | **Finished Water Production** | | | **(1)** | **(2)** | **(3)** | **(4) = {[(2) – (3)] / (2)} / 100** | | 2014 | 23.32 | 21.37 | 8.4% | | 2015 | 24.46 | 22.34 | 8.7% | | 2016 | 24.95 | 22.78 | 8.7% | | 2017 | 24.07 | 22.46 | 6.7% | | 2018 | 25.18 | 21.93 | 12.9% | | **Average** | | | **9.1%** | Table 4.7 shows that the overall treatment loss increased in 2018. This increase is largely a result of increased use of Floridan Aquifer source water in 2018. Floridan Aquifer source water is treated exclusively through RO treatment which has a treatment loss of 20%, significantly higher than LS and MS treatment processes (2% and 13% respectively). For the purpose of determining the amount of raw water needed to supply the forecasted finished water demand, the weighted average treatment loss when a combined 30 mgd of raw water is pumped from both aquifer sources was calculated. Table 4.8 presents the treatment methods considered. ### Table 4.8 City of Hollywood Forecasted Weighted Average Percent Treatment Loss | Treatment Technology | Raw Water Withdrawal, Annual Average mgd | % of Raw Water | % Treatment Loss | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **(1)** | **(2)** | **(3)** | **(4)** | | Lime Softening | 12 | 40% | 2% | | Membrane Softening | 12 | 40% | 13% | | Reverse Osmosis | 6 | 20% | 20% | | **Total / Weighted Average** | 30 | 100% | **10%** | If 40 percent of the raw water is treated using LS, 40 percent is treated using MS, and 20 percent is treated using RO, the weighted average percent treatment loss is 10 percent. This value was used to convert the finished water demand forecast to the total annual raw water withdrawal needed from the City’s Biscayne and Floridan aquifer wellfields and the County’s SRW. The raw water forecast is calculated in Table 4.9. Total raw water withdrawal will need to be 25.3 mgd in 2020 and will need to increase each year to 28.8 mgd by 2040. If the overall treatment loss is 13 percent, instead of 10 percent, as was the case in 2018, then the total raw water withdrawal will need to be about 1.0 mgd higher each year. Section 4 Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy Table 4.9 City of Hollywood Forecasted Raw Water Withdrawals | Year | Finished Water Demand (mgd) | Annual Average Raw Water Withdrawal (mgd) | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | At 10% Treatment Loss | At 13% Treatment Loss | Difference | | (1) | (2) | (3) = (2) / [1 – 0.10] | (4) = (2) / [1 - 0.13] | (5) = (4) - (3) | | 2018 - Actual | 21.9 | 25.2 | | | | 2020 | 22.8 | 25.3 | 26.2 | 0.9 | | 2025 | 23.6 | 26.2 | 27.1 | 0.9 | | 2030 | 24.7 | 27.4 | 28.4 | 0.9 | | 2035 | 25.4 | 28.3 | 29.2 | 1.0 | | 2040 | 26.0 | 28.8 | 29.8 | 1.0 | The City’s combined permitted raw water withdrawal quantities total 39.3 mgd on an annual average day basis and 42.0 mgd on a maximum month basis as summarized in Table 4.10. The comparison of forecasted raw water withdrawal to the permitted quantity is provided in Figure 4-1. <

Thus, no additional water supply is expected to be needed through 2040. <

> The limit on the amount of finished water that can be produced was based on the firm raw water treatment capacity of the City’s LS process, the permitted quantities from the Biscayne and Floridan aquifers and the historical percent treatment loss of each treatment process. The calculation of the finished water treatment limit is provided in Table 4.11. The limit is 36.1 mgd. Section 4 Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy Table 4.11 Calculation of Finished Water Quantity Limit based on Raw Water Permit Limit | Treatment Process | Treatment - Firm Capacity (mgd) | Treatment Loss (%) | Raw Water Treatment Capacity (mgd) | - LIMIT - Raw Water Treatment Allocation (mgd) (a) | - LIMIT - Finished Water Treatment (mgd) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **(1)** | **(2)** | **(3)** | **(4) = (2) / [1 - (3)]** | **(5)** | **(6) = (5) x [1 - (3)]** | | Lime Softening - Biscayne Aquifer | 22.50 | 2% | 22.96 | 22.96 | 22.50 | | Membrane Softening - Biscayne Aquifer | 12.00 | 13% | 13.79 | 7.62 | 6.63 | | Total Permitted Quantity from Biscayne Aquifer | 34.50 | | 36.75 | 30.58 | 29.13 | | Reverse Osmosis (Floridan Aquifer) | 6.00 | 20% | 7.50 | 8.68 | 6.94 | | **Total** | **40.50** | | **44.25** | **39.26** | **36.07** | (a) The LS value is equal to the LS raw water treatment capacity of 22.96 mgd of raw water. The MS value is the permitted quantity of raw water from the Biscayne Aquifer (30.58 mgd) minus the amount of raw water treated using LS (22.96 mgd). The RO value is equal to the permitted quantity from the Floridan Aquifer (8.68 mgd). While RO treatment firm capacity is less than the permitted quantity from the Floridan Aquifer, it is assumed that the City would be able to increase treatment capacity to treat 8.68 mgd, when needed. Comparison of the finished water demand forecast (from Table 4.4) to the finished water treatment limit (from Table 4.11) is provided in Figure 4-2. During the period 2020 through 2040, the forecast of finished water demand is significantly lower than the finished water treatment limit. Section 4 Water Demand Forecast and Supply Adequacy <

Within Fort Lauderdale’s Plan, the forecasted water flow to Port Everglades is included within the forecast for “Unincorporated Broward Plus Port Everglades” and this category is projected to increase from 2.94 mgd in 2015 to 4.32 mgd in 2040. # 5. Regional Issues *This section summarizes the regional water supply planning issues that have the potential to impact the City.* The City and the HLWD-DPU are cognizant of the regional issues that are impacting or have the potential to impact water supply, water demand, and utility infrastructure. The City works with other local governments and utilities to address the challenges and opportunities created. This section summarizes the regional issues being followed by the City including: * Regional Climate Action Plan; * Climate Change; * Sea Level Rise; * Saltwater Intrusion; * Extreme Weather Events; * Infrastructure Development; * Lake Okeechobee Surface Water Allocation Limitations; * Lowering Lake Okeechobee Level; * Infrastructure Planned to Attenuate Damaging Peak Flow Events from Lake Okeechobee; and, * Use of brackish groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer. Each is discussed in turn. ## 4.1 Regional Climate Action Plan Southeast Florida is one of the most vulnerable regions to be impacted by climate change and sea level rise. This is largely the result of several unique geographic characteristics which include low land elevations, flat topography, a porous geology, and dense coastal development. In combination, climate change and sea level rise are expected to present significant challenges relating to water resource planning, management and infrastructure for communities throughout the region, which includes Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. These communities have agreed to partner in regionally-coordinated climate mitigation and adaptation strategies as part of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (Compact) and have jointly developed and adopted a Regional Climate Action Plan (RCAP) including 21 recommendations that address “Water Supply, Management, and Infrastructure”. Section 5 Regional Issues Table 5-1 summarizes the water supply-related recommendations from the Regional Climate Action Plan 2.0.[^p547-1] These recommendations are intended to meet the goals of advancing water management strategies and infrastructure improvements needed to mitigate for adverse impacts of climate change and sea level rise on water supplies, water and wastewater infrastructure, and water management systems and have been incorporated throughout this Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Update and related comprehensive planning element updates. **Table 5.1 - Water Supply Recommendations of the** **2019 Regional Climate Change Action Plan** | Item | Recommendations | | :--- | :--- | | WS-1 | Foster innovation, development, and exchange of ideas for managing water. | | WS-2 | Ensure consistency in water resource scenarios used for planning. | | WS-3 | Plan for future water supply conditions. | | WS-4 | Coordinate saltwater intrusion mapping across Southeast Florida. | | WS-5 | Maintain regional inventories of water and wastewater infrastructure. | | WS-6 | Develop a spatial database of resilience projects for water infrastructure. | | WS-7 | Modernize infrastructure development standards in the region. | | WS-8 | Address the resilience of the regional flood control system. | | WS-9 | Update the regional stormwater rule. | | WS-10 | Integrate combined surface and groundwater impacts into the evaluation of at-risk infrastructure and the prioritization of adaptation improvements. | | WS-11 | Encourage green infrastructure and alternative strategies. | | WS-12 | Integrate hydrologic and hydraulic models. | | WS-13 | Practice integrated water management and planning. | | WS-14 | Advance comprehensive improvements to regional and local stormwater management practices. | | WS-15 | Foster scientific research for improved water resource management. | | WS-16 | Expand partnerships and resources to further innovation in water resource management. | | WS-17 | Advance capital projects to achieve resilience in water infrastructure. | | WS-18 | Coordinate innovation and regional funding. | | WS-19 | Recognize adaptable infrastructure. | | WS-20 | Support the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). | | WS-21 | Expand regional surface water storage. | [^p547-1]: http://southeastfloridaclimatecompact.org/regional-climate-action-plan/ Section 5 Regional Issues ## 4.2 Climate Change Investigations and evaluations conducted at the national, regional, and local levels have reinforced the need to plan for the predicted impacts of more frequent and severe drought and increases in tidal and storm-related flooding. To protect the City’s water supply infrastructure, ongoing planning efforts should be flexible to adapt to these climate changes. The City of Hollywood, together with its municipal and regional partners, understands that local governments and water utilities must integrate water supply and climate change considerations through coordinated planning efforts. The City works to provide relevant updates to the 10-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and to enhance the Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) of its comprehensive plan. The City is a leader in developing planning tools and identifying achievable and cost-effective goals that meet the needs of its community. In 2013, the City signed a resolution endorsing the Mayor’s Climate Action Pledge in support of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact and the Regional Climate Action Plan. The City is a participant in the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact. The Compact outlines an ongoing collaborative effort among the Compact participants to foster sustainability and climate resilience on a regional scale. The Compact participants include local communities, regulatory agencies, and the counties of Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Palm Beach. In June 2017, Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy joined Climate Mayors (a.k.a. the Mayors’ National Climate Action Agenda) which is a Mayor-to-Mayor network collaborating on climate. There are no binding commitments except for the pursuit of actions to achieve an emissions reduction target through: * Developing a community Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory; * Setting near- and long-term targets to reduce emissions; and, * Developing a Climate Action Plan aligned with the City's targets. The City’s Sustainability Action Plan was approved on March 15, 2017. The Plan contains 99 actions to achieve 32 goals within seven focus areas. Progress towards the goals will be measured by a set of 22 metrics. The focus areas are: (1) Leadership by Example; (2) Resiliency (Climate Action Plan); (3) Built Environment; (4) Environmental Quality; (5) Resource Stewardship; (6) Mobility; and (7) Community Engagement. ## 4.3 Sea Level Rise The sea level is rising as reflected in the City’s sunny day flooding events. The flooding frequency has been on average less than eight days per year. With an expected sea level rise above two feet, measured to the North American Vertical Datum (NAVD), by the year 2060, the frequency is estimated to increase to 226 days per year. The US Army Corps of Engineers Section 5 Regional Issues and Broward County conducted a study of flood risk management in Hollywood Lakes and Las Olas Isles in the City of Fort Lauderdale. They modeled different seawall heights to determine how well the walls would protect property from flooding caused by king tides and storms of varying strength. Based on these findings, the Broward County Commission is considering new regulations for seawall heights. These regulations would be an integral part of a holistic approach the County is developing to address tidal flooding and surge protection. Broward County is proposing seawalls that are four feet NAVD by 2035 and five feet NAVD by 2050, allowing two years for municipal implementation. Resilience features like this will help prevent large increases in national flood insurance rates. Development of cost-effective sea level rise adaptation strategies to ensure the sustainability of the City’s water supply is critical to all ongoing planning efforts. A unified projection by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact developed in 2015, which the City formally accepted in its 2016 Resolution R-2016-015, is illustrated in Figure 5-1. It shows a 6- to 10-inch increase in sea level in the near term, and a 14- to 26-inch rise by mid-century. <

> Figure 5-1 – Sea Level Rise Projection (2015) The sea level rise projection was recently updated by the Compact (in December 2019) that increases the projected magnitude of sea level rise. The revised projection is provided in Figure 5-2. This update is now being used as the basis for planning throughout the region. Section 5 Regional Issues <

> Figure 5-2 – Sea Level Rise Projection (2019) In terms of infrastructure, every aspect that is underground or touches the ground will need to be assessed for its vulnerability and, if necessary, protected. This includes basic services, such as provision of drinking water, sewage treatment, electricity and waste disposal. ## 4.4 Saltwater Intrusion The Biscayne Aquifer is the City’s primary water supply. It is a shallow, surficial, highly transmissive aquifer. Coastal saltwater intrusion of the aquifer has occurred in eastern parts of Broward County. The extent of saltwater intrusion is measured by the depth and location of the 250 mg/L chloride concentration toe. The mapping of this saltwater intrusion front is supported by local governments throughout the region, the United States Geologic Survey (USGS), and the SFWMD. The SFWMD’s 250 mg/L Isochlor Line in Broward County is illustrated in Figure 5-3. At the toe of the saltwater front, chloride concentrations exceed drinking water standards of 250 mg/L and thus restrict and/or require abandonment of wellheads located east of the saltwater intrusion line. It has been concluded that movement of the saltwater front is primarily caused by the historic lowering of the water table in western Broward County for the construction of regional drainage canals. While the City’s Biscayne Aquifer wellfields are located sufficiently west of the 250 mg/L Isochlor, the City continues to monitor its movement and the potential impact on the City’s water supply. Section 5 Regional Issues ## 4.5 Extreme Weather Events An increase in frequency and severity of extreme weather events may be an impact of climate change. Comprehensive planning should consider impacts and risks associated with drought, water shortages and reduced groundwater tables, all of which can hasten saltwater intrusion and exacerbate water supply deficits. Conversely, more intense rainfall will cause flooding, increased runoff, impacts to the natural systems and provide more recharge potential for wellfields. Integrated water resource management strategies will help to mitigate for these impacts, particularly those projects that can serve to provide additional long-term storage of stormwater runoff and redistribution of excess rainfall during dry periods and drought. Regional surface water reservoirs and below ground aquifer storage and recovery systems (ASR) are potentially viable alternative water supply projects and climate adaptation strategies. Section 5 Regional Issues <

> Figure 5-3 – 250 mg/L Isochlor Line in Broward County (SFWMD) City of Hollywood Public Utilities Potable Water Sub-Element – Water Supply Plan 41 Section 5 Regional Issues ## 4.6 Infrastructure Development To ensure the long-term sustainability of key facilities in the face of climate change, sea level rise and extreme weather events, it becomes critical to diversify water supply sources, improve treatment technologies, and develop adaptive stormwater and wastewater infrastructure design criteria. Strategic infrastructure planning should incorporate these opportunities and work within the GOPs of the Comprehensive Planning process and 10-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plans to provide for long-term sustainability and a balanced approach to future development. Increases in groundwater elevations, as a direct and indirect response to sea level, will challenge the function of drainage systems and is expected to exacerbate future flooding for even mild storm events. Future conditions will be more severe with extreme rainfall events increasing damage to low-lying utility infrastructure and contributing to prolonged surface water flooding. Planning for the combined influences of storm events, high tides and sea level rise on drainage system functions and other public infrastructure is a critical need as is the assessment of viable water supplies and impacts to the natural systems from prolonged droughts. Options that provide for a diversification of water projects and protection of resources will be fundamental and may include changing treatment technologies; developing regional water storage such as the C-51 Reservoir; improving (or relocating) infrastructure in low lying areas; and enhancing operational flexibility. The City's planning effort regarding water supply infrastructure includes use of the Floridan Aquifer as an alternative water supply source and considerations of issues impacting water supply and demand including the RWA Rule, the C-51 Reservoir Project, the Ocean Outfall Program, and the Regional Climate Change Action Plan. The Regional Water Availability (RWA) Rule was adopted by the SFWMD on February 16, 2007. The RWA limits raw water withdrawals from the Biscayne Aquifer to the maximum quantity withdrawn during any consecutive five years preceding April 2006. Cities needing additional water supplies are required to seek sources that are not dependent upon the Everglades for recharge. These alternative water supply solutions include recycling water, using reclaimed water to recharge the Biscayne Aquifer, or drawing water from the deeper Floridan Aquifer. The RWA Rule limited the City's Biscayne Aquifer withdrawal from its two wellfields to 24.80 mgd on an annual average day basis. Currently, the City is limited to a 5.78 mgd total allocation from the County's SRW. The Floridan Aquifer, as the City's alternative water source, will provide the additional water needed to serve future increases in demand. Section 5 Regional Issues ## 4.7 Lake Okeechobee Surface Water Allocation Limitations Surface water allocations from Lake Okeechobee and the Water Conservation Areas are limited in accordance with the Lake Okeechobee Service Area Restricted Allocation Area (RAA) criteria. In 2008, the SFWMD adopted RAA criteria for the Lake Okeechobee Service Area as part of the Minimum Flow and Minimum Water Level (MFL) recovery strategy for Lake Okeechobee. The criteria limit allocations from Lake Okeechobee and integrated conveyance systems hydraulically connected to the lake to base condition water uses that occurred from April 1, 2001 to January 1, 2008. After adoption of the RAA, all irrigation users in the Lake Okeechobee Service Area were required to renew their water use permits. In 2007, the SFWMD adopted the LEC Regional Water Availability criteria to prohibit increases in surface water and groundwater withdrawn from the North Palm Beach County/Loxahatchee River Waterbodies and Lower East Coast Everglades Waterbodies above base condition water uses permitted as of April 1, 2006. This also includes canals that are connected to and receive water from these water bodies. New direct surface water withdrawals are prohibited from the Everglades and Loxahatchee River watersheds and from the integrated conveyance systems. These criteria are components of the MFL recovery strategies for the Everglades and the Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River. While the City is not directly impacted by the Lake Okeechobee surface water allocation limitations, the City is directly impacted by the LEC Regional Water Availability criteria as it applies to the Lower East Coast Everglades Waterbodies. These criteria impact the amount of permitted water quantities available to the City from the Biscayne Aquifer. ## 4.8 Lowering Lake Okeechobee Level In January 2019, Florida’s Governor announced his promotion of a plan to lower the minimum level of the Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule to 10.5 feet. The current Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule (LORS) ranges from a minimum level of 12.5 feet to a maximum of 15.5 feet. While lowering Lake levels could provide environmental benefits to the Lake and the coastal estuaries, dropping the minimum level to 10.5 feet would reduce the amount of water stored in Lake Okeechobee, potentially reducing the amount of water available to recharge the Biscayne Aquifer. Should this happen, the risk of water shortages in the LEC, including the City of Hollywood, would increase. The City continues to monitor this issue and, when appropriate, will develop a policy to address any potential impacts to its water utility. Section 5 Regional Issues ## 4.9 Infrastructure Planned to Attenuate Damaging Peak Flow Events from Lake Okeechobee Construction of additional storage systems (e.g., reservoirs, aquifer storage and recovery systems) to capture wet season flow volumes may be needed to increase water availability during dry conditions and attenuate damaging peak flow events from Lake Okeechobee. The C-51 Reservoir project located in southwestern Palm Beach County is one such project. The infrastructure planned to attenuate damaging peak flows to surface water bodies and coastal ecosystems located near the City are those underway in Broward County by the SFWMD and the US Army Corps of Engineers under the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project (CERP). The Broward County Water Preserve Areas project is part of the CERP and was designed to perform three primary functions: 1. Reduce seepage loss from WCA-3A/3B to developed areas (i.e., the C-11 and C-9 basins); 2. Capture, store, and distribute surface water runoff from the western C-11 Basin; and, 3. Restore wetlands, recharge groundwater, improve hydroperiods in WCA-3A/3B, and maintain flood protection. The following major infrastructure features will be constructed as part of the project. * C-11 Impoundment – A 1,168-acre impoundment to capture and store runoff from the C-11 Basin, reduce pumping of surface water into the WCAs, and provide releases for other regional uses. * WCA-3A/3B Seepage Management Area – A 4,353-acre seepage management area that would establish a buffer to reduce seepage from WCA-3A/3B, connect the C-11 and C-9 impoundments via conveyance canal, and maintain flood protection. * C-9 Impoundment – A 1,641-acre impoundment to capture and store surface runoff from the C-9 Basin, store C-11 Impoundment overflow, manage seepage, and provide releases for regional benefit. These infrastructure features will provide various functions such as reducing seepage from WCA-3A, reducing phosphorus loading to WCA-3A, capturing stormwater otherwise lost to tide, and providing conveyance features for urban and natural system water deliveries. The preserve areas will benefit federally listed threatened and endangered species and many wading birds. This project provides water supplies identified in the Everglades MFL recovery strategy. The project received congressional authorization in 2014. Design efforts are under way for the C-11 Impoundment, and construction began in October 2017 on a portion of the mitigation area. Construction of the C-11 Impoundment is expected to be completed in 2027. Section 5 Regional Issues The WCA-3A/3B Seepage Management Area is anticipated to begin construction in 2027. Construction of the C-9 Impoundment is expected to begin in 2030. The City continues to monitor the status of environment restoration projects in the LEC. ## 4.10 Use of brackish groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer The City of Hollywood was the first south Florida utility to develop water supply from the Floridan Aquifer. Currently, the City is permitted to withdraw an annual average quantity of 8.68 mgd. The City has existing RO treatment capacity and the ability to expand this capacity as needed. # 6. Water Supply Capital Improvements This section identifies the capital improvements required to build public water supply facilities to serve the existing and new development within the City of Hollywood jurisdiction. The City’s overall FY 2020 – 2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies capital improvement projects for the HLWD-DPU that are related to repair and replacement work needed to proactively maintain the level of service for the City’s water distribution system. Because the City has sufficient existing water supply and treatment infrastructure in place, no anticipated capital expenditures are required to meet the City’s water supply needs over the planning horizon. The City of Hollywood has historically supplemented its revenues from the following funding sources: alternative water supply grants, low-interest state revolving funds (SRFs), water impact fees, and bond proceeds (debt financing). The City anticipates continuing the use of these revenue and funding sources over the next five years to implement the Capital Improvement Projects for repair, replacement, and upgrades of existing infrastructure. No additional funding is needed for water supply or treatment expansion. Table 6-1 presents the public utilities funding priorities for upgrade, repair and replacement projects over the next five years. It should be noted that water supply rates can be increased by City Commission action, without third party concurrence, to support the issuance of revenue bonds for any projects not funded by other means. In FY 2019, the City of Hollywood approved the recommended rate study findings to support the Capital Improvement Program for FY 2020 to FY 2024.

INTRODUCTION ## Historical Background Sewers were first installed in Hollywood in the late 1930's and served the downtown area. The wastewater from the sewers flowed directly into North Lake. During the 1950's, sewers were installed in the Lakes and Beach areas. In 1955, the original wastewater treatment plant began operating with a plant capacity of approximately 3.3 million gallons per day. This wastewater treatment plant provided primary treatment which is the removal of floating debris and solids by screening and sedimentation. Effluent continued to be discharged into North Lake until 1969. The most significant expansion of the sanitary sewer system occurred during the 1960's as a result of extensive debates regarding the need of sewers. The County Health Department and various officials helped to develop regulations which were to control the use of septic tanks and require sewers in most new developments. However, economic consideration forced a delay in the implementation of sewer extension plans. During the 1960's expansion of the City's sanitary sewer system, the Hollywood Sewerage Treatment Plant began to treat sewage from South Broward as a condition for obtaining federal money to fund the expansion of the plant from 33 MGD to 66 MGD. The Hollywood plant was forced to treat more sewage as population increased and small sewer mains were added to the system. The flow grew to 8 MGD and the City completed an expansion of the plant to a 34 MGD facility (primary treatment only) and construction of an ocean outfall line. Again in 1970, extensive debates took place on the completion of a sewerage system for the City of Hollywood. Residents at the time were unwilling to bear the initial cost of sewer line "hook up". The implementation of the proposed sewer system plan in 1971 for the City of Hollywood was halted. The only extensions of residential sewer services to take place during the 1970's were in Liberia and Washington Park. These improvements were funded with Community Development Funds. Since that time no other areas of the City have been sewered except larger new developments which have been required to hook up to the new system. In 1970, federal, state and county agencies urged the regional concept involving both transmission and treatment of sewage. This policy was implemented at the same time that the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendment of 1972 was passed that required sewage treatment plants using ocean outfalls for effluent disposal to provide secondary level of treatment of wastewater. Secondary treatment consists of biochemical treatment of wastewater after the primary stage, using bacteria to consume the organic wastes. Use of trickling filters or the activated sludge process removes floating and settleable solids and about 90% of oxygen demanding substances and suspended solids. Disinfection with chlorine is the final stage of secondary treatment. During the 1980's the City was prepared to expand the existing plant to 66 million gallons but this plan met with opposition from the Hollywood Lakes Civic Association. Much of the opposition was based on odor problems which were caused by the Zimpro Sludge Process, which would be replaced by a lime treatment process in 2005, significantly decreasing the odors produced. After approval of the expansion, however, the Federal Government altered its method of funding treatment facility construction. In short, the process of prioritizing projects and distributing funds was turned over to the State. When this occurred the expansion of the Hollywood Plant was delayed because some capacity was remaining while priority was given to areas of the State where a sewer system was not previously in service. Finally, because of changes in federal regulations, it was possible to upgrade the plant capacity from 33 million gallons to 38 million gallons. A subsequent upgrade and expansion was also preformed, which increased plant capacity to the current 48.75 MGD. ### Existing Conditions The City of Hollywood Treatment Plant currently treats wastewater generated by the City of Hollywood and the neighboring municipalities of Davie (effluent only), Dania Beach, Cooper City, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, portions of unincorporated Broward County, and the Town of Pembroke Park and the Town of West Park (Broward County Districts 3A and 3BC). The Treatment Plant, also, currently treats the wastewater generated by the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and the neighboring municipality of Cooper City. The effluent disposals from Davie and Cooper City treatment plants are pumped to and mixed at Hollywood’s pump station wet well. This is done before either being sent to Hollywood’s re-use system or being discharged to the ocean via outfall. The Hollywood Regional WWTP rated capacity is 48.75 MGD (See Map SS-1). Table 1 depicts the flow contribution of each municipality from 2000 to 2006 ascertained from the City of Hollywood records. The flow from each large user is metered prior to entry to the Hollywood wastewater collection system. The total flow through the plant is metered at the discharge of the wastewater treatment plant. The City of Hollywood's flow is calculated as the difference between the total measured plant flow and the sum of the individual large users' recorded flows. The City of Hollywood’s annual average daily flow (AADF) is approximately 42.0 MGD. Out of the current, 2007, AADF of 42.0 MGD, 22.8 MGD or 56% is utilized by large users and 18.2 MGD by Hollywood. The flows shown in Table 1 are annual averages. Winter season or maximum monthly flows are typically near the annual averages. Since 2002 the winter flows have only been greater than annual averages three times. ### TABLE 1: ### ANNUAL AVERAGE FLOWS ### TO HOLLYWOOD REGIONAL WWTP FLOW - MGD | MUNICIPALITY | 2000 | 2002 | 2004 | 2006 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Broward County | 1.7 | 2.0 | 2.4 | 2.6 | | Dania | 2.9 | 3.1 | 3.0 | 3.1 | | Hallandale | 6.2 | 6.1 | 5.7 | 6.6 | | Miramar | 4.2 | 4.4 | 3.9 | 2.1 | | Pembroke Park | 0.8 | 0.8 | 0.9 | 0.8 | | Pembroke Pines | 7.0 | 7.4 | 7.6 | 7.5 | | TOTAL-Large Users | 22.8 | 23.8 | 23.5 | 22.7 | | Hollywood | 18.0 | 18.5 | 19.0 | 19.3 | | TOTAL FLOW MGD | 41.3 | 42.3 | 42.5 | 42.0 | **Source: Broward County** City of Hollywood ⬥ Utilities Element Sanitary Sewer US-3 January 2008 MAP - SS-1: Regional Service Boundaries <

> Produced and maintained by the CGA Geographic Information Systems Services SOUTH BROWARD REGIONAL SERVICE AREA The City of Hollywood has large user agreements in effect with each of the above municipalities. The agreements spell out the City's obligation to each municipality to provide treatment plant capacity. "Service capacities" for the most part were established in the 1970's and generally change at five year increments. The obligations of reserve capacity have remained as agreed upon with the exception of the City of Hallandale, which has sold a portion of its reserve capacity to the City of Dania and the Town of Pembroke Park. Recently, in response to changing conditions, the City of Hollywood has limited some large users in terms of the service area from which they would accept wastewater. Areas of Miramar and Pembroke Pines west of Flamingo Road are not in the service area. The City has also placed limitations on new wastewater contributors and it is anticipated that there would not be any new users of the treatment facilities. Existing Plant Facilities The wastewater transmission system is capable of handling flows in excess of 61 MGD average daily flow, and the ocean outfall disposal system is adequate for flows up to 100 million gallons per day average daily flow. Both are in excellent condition and have an expected remaining life exceeding 25 years. The wastewater treatment plant is currently being expanded to a build-out capacity of 60 MGD to meet projected demand for 2025. The piping is constructed of three material types: ductile iron, vitreous clay, and polyvinyl chlorine (PVC). Of these the first two have an expected life of 20 to 30 years. PVC has a much longer life expectancy. All new lines and most replacement lines are PVC. The primary impact that the WWTP and the distribution system have on the adjacent natural resources occur through leakage into the ground and from airborne odors from the plant itself. Leakage has the potential for serious impacts on groundwater and is the subject of constant monitoring. With regard to the problem of odors, the process responsible for the previous odors was eliminated and a closed reactor vessel which controls odors is now used in the sludge treatment process. As mentioned earlier, the Hollywood Regional WWTP is a secondary wastewater treatment plant rated by the State of Florida DEP to process and discharge 48.75 MGD of treated effluent to the Atlantic Ocean. The City of Hollywood generates about 40 percent of the total flow. The large users located in the southern region service area generate the remaining wastewater flow. Map SS-2 shows the existing treatment works at the Hollywood Plant which process the liquid and solid streams. These elements are briefly described below: # LIQUID TREATMENT **Screens-Two** | Mechanical screens are housed in a separate building. Large objects are removed from the raw wastewater to protect subsequent treatment units. Odor control facilities are provided. **Grit Removal** | Grit material such as sand and stones are separated by gravity from the main wastewater flow in three (3) settling tanks. Removal of this material protects downstream mechanical equipment and avoids settlement of grit in existing tanks allowing the plant to operate at full hydraulic capacity. **Influent Pumps** | All incoming raw wastewater is pumped from deep influent sewers up into the aeration tanks. The influent pump station must operate under all conditions to ensure continued plant operation and to avoid wastewater backing up into the collection system. **Oxygen Train** | Raw wastewater plus recycled sludge is mixed in the five (5) completely enclosed Oxygen trains, with four (4) aeration cells per train for a total of 20 aeration cells. Oxygen generated on-site in a 50 TPD cryogenic plant is fed under pressure to the aeration tanks to promote biological oxidation. Organic pollutants in the raw wastewater are synthesized through microbiological processes into in-soluble cell mass or oxidized into carbon dioxide and water. The plant uses a priority system known as the UNOX pure oxygen treatment process. **Clarifiers** | Mixed liquid discharged from the aeration tanks flows to four (4) square clarifiers, and three (3) circular clarifiers. Solids settle out by gravity and are removed for further treatment, or recycled back into the oxygen trains. Clarified effluent meeting regulatory solids and BOD criteria spills over weirs and is collected. **Effluent pumps** | Clarified effluent is piped to the effluent pump station. Chlorine is added to disinfect the effluent prior to discharge to the Atlantic Ocean, diversion for in-plant water uses, or transport to the tertiary treatment for reclaimed water uses. Above 35 MGD flow rate the pumps are activated to overcome friction losses in the ocean outfall pipeline. The effluent pumps must operate under all conditions to avoid flooding in the plant. The treated wastewater flows via a 120-inch gravity line from the effluent hydraulic box, where it is chlorinated, to the station's wet well. *** City of Hollywood [GEM] Utilities Element Sanitary Sewer US-6 January 2008 Ocean Outfall | The outfall consists of a 60-inch diameter pipeline extending 3.7 miles from the plant into the Atlantic Ocean. Treated effluent is discharged in the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of about 93 feet. --- | --- Injection Wells | Two Class I injection wells are constructed (Florida DEP requires a minimum of two), as an additional disposal method. The two wells are currently operating at a capacity of 18.6 MGD. ### SLUDGE TREATMENT Return Sludge | A key element of the activated sludge process is to return a portion System | of the solids from the secondary clarifiers to the aeration tanks to maintain the bio mass concentration and enhance treatment. Two separate return sludge pump stations operate independently. Each return sludge system serves two clarifiers and a single aeration tank. Storage and Pre-Thickening | Solids are removed from the clarifiers and pumped to an equalization tank, where the variations in flow and concentration are equalized prior to processing. Dewatering | From the equalization tank the sludge is pumped to belt presses where the remaining liquid is removed. The liquid is then cycled back to the headworks to be treated and the “cake” is transferred to the Stabilization Building. Sludge Treatment | In the Stabilization Building the dewatered biosolids are mixed with calcium oxide (quicklime) and sulfamic acid (in solid granular form). The treated biosolids are continuously fed into the plug flow reactor (Schwing Bioset reactor). This results in a Class ‘A’ product. Disposal | The Class ‘A’ product is hauled by a contracted third party to beneficial reuse on local land. This Class ‘A’ product is very similar to the manure purchased at local garden supply stores. ### Sewer Service Areas As can be seen from the following map, much of the City is presently operating on the public sewer system. Much of the area not serviced by the sewer system is comprised of single-family neighborhoods and golf courses (see Map SS-3). These areas are served by private septic tanks and because of the density of development 60% of the population relies on this method for sewage treatment. Septic tanks are water-tight chambers that retain sewage long enough for most solids to settle out and for some degree of breakdown of the wastewater constituents. Septic tanks for individual homes are capable of reducing suspended solids by about 30% and Biological Oxygen Demand by 25 to 40%. Solids settle to the bottom of the tank and form sludge that is acted upon by anaerobic bacteria to form gases and liquids; this process is known as digestion. The lightweight materials, including fat and grease, rise to the top. Tank effluent is discharged into the drain filled to percolate into the soil. If suitable soil conditions exist, most remaining solids will be filtered out and soil microorganisms will decompose most of the organic materials. This process is accomplished without the application of an outside source of energy and does not require the use of chemicals or other resources used in sewerage treatment plants. A properly designed, constructed, and maintained individual septic tank/soil absorption system can provide the equivalent of primary treatment. Septic tanks should be cleaned periodically or the sludge and scum will accumulate to the extent that they will be swept out with effluent and eventually clog the drainfield. At this point, the septic system's drainfield is said to "fail" and the sewage flow will usually back up into the house or overflow the tank onto land surface causing odors and health hazards. Permits for construction of septic tanks are obtained from the Broward County Public Health Unit under regulations contained in Chapter 10D-6 of the Florida Administration Code. Basically, tanks exist only in areas having highly permeable soil and are restricted based on occupancy and unobstructed land available. A large concentration of septic tank usage is in the older central city area. It is strongly felt by City Engineers that the impact of septic tanks in this area is positive in that the percolation action serves to recharge the aquifer with a mound of fresh water which, though not potable, acts as a barrier against salt water intrusion. Debates over the disadvantages versus the advantages of septic tanks have pressed for the installation of sewers to replace septic tank effluents which percolate into the Biscayne Aquifer and local canals, and eventually contaminate the ground water and make it unusable. Hollywood residents have expressed some preference for reliance on septic tank systems. Preliminary results from investigations made by the US Geological Survey in Miami-Dade County on the effects of septic effluents on ground water quality indicate that most phosphates, nitrates, and bacteria are removed by the time the septic tank effluent waste waters have passed through about 30 feet of sand. Due to possible contamination problems from failed septic tanks and problems with disposal of seepage pumping, the elimination of septic tank use has been identified by Federal, State, and County agencies as a goal in both the 201 Facility Plan for Wastewater Management Systems for Broward County and the Area-Wide Clean Water Management (208) Plan for Broward County. In the attempt to implement these goals, the Broward County Environmental Quality Control Board has greatly increased the requirements regarding septic tanks so that when building new residential units no more than four units can share a septic tank.

ANALYSIS Capacity The Hollywood WWTP is currently rated at 48.75 MGD flow. Annual Average Daily flow is approximately 42.27 MGD. Hydraulically the plant has 15%, approximately 7.0 MGD, of its rated capacity available for further development. The Hollywood WWTP treatment capacity is stressed during the winter months. This is reflected by the poor seasonal solids removal performance. Growth is expected both in the City of Hollywood and in other cities with large user agreements. The City has embarked on a redevelopment, neighborhood preservation, and economic development program which could lead to increased flows. Development of western areas of the County up to Flamingo Road will also increase flows. Table 2 illustrates the future flows from the large users.

Funding for the expansion will come from the sale of utility revenue bonds. The City has prepared a pre-design report for the plant expansion which establishes the priorities in accordance with current and future needs. Currently the WWTP is considering a substantial planned upgrade and rehabilitation process. Considered upgrades include the 2002 Wastewater Plant Upgrade, the Headworks upgrade and the Clarifier Flow Distribution Box Rehabilitation, proposed Oxygen Generation System Upgrade, and the Taft Street Trunk Line Rehab and Bypass. The Oxygen Generation System Upgrade includes the replacement of the dual air compressors with three approximately 800 hp units; this will provide energy savings and increased reliability. An upgrade of the cold box houses, including the replacement of the reversing heat exchanger. Additionally the upgrade will include a 15000 gallon storage tank for the LOX system. The Oxygen Generation System upgrade will also include several software upgrades as well as additional repairs and machine upgrades. To provide the level of service anticipated by Hollywood and its large users, the wastewater treatment plant is undergoing an expansion with a build-out capacity of 58 MGD (see Map SS-4). The table below shows projected average daily flows of Hollywood and its large users for 2020. ### TABLE 4: ### LARGE USER FLOW PROJECTION ### FLOW - MGD | Larger user | 2020 | | :--- | :--- | | Broward County | 5.3 | | Dania | 3.2 | | Hallandale | 10.3 | | Hollywood | 25.5 | | Miramar | 1.5 | | Pembroke Park | 1.5 | | Pembroke Pines | 8.2 | | Total flows | 55.5 | | Design capacity | 50+ | [^p587-1]: Source: City of Hollywood Utilities Department [^p587-2]: Does not include an allowance for sewering area served by septic tanks Treatment System As stated earlier, the present treatment system has been successful in controlling odors from sludge treatment process and generating a Class ‘A’ biosolid, which is transported for reuse on local land. The semi-rehabilitation of existing machinery, software and the plant is underway as part of the overall plant expansion. (See Map SS-5) Sludge Disposal Currently sludge disposal is not an issue as the treatment process produces a Class ‘A’ biosolid. This biosolid is transported by a third party company for reuse on local land. The biosolid is almost the same as fertilizer purchased at gardening stores. Effluent Reuse The City planned to increase water reuse by 1.1 MGD within the next ten years. The current capacity is rated 5 MGD, by SFWMD, of which only 2.8 MGD is being reclaimed. Currently the 2.8 MGD of reclaimed water is being used for irrigation purposes at six local golf courses. However, it was investigated and determined that the cost for residential reuse was too high to be a possibility for the City of Hollywood, with the cost estimate to be between $21 and $30 per gal/day of reuse capacity for residential purposes. Land Use Analysis A fairly large portion of the City is still using septic tank systems, thus the City faces the need to expand sewer in these areas. Indicating a need for plant expansion in excess of the large user projected flows. The transfer of septic users to sewer users is necessary to prevent any unwanted organic and chemical discharge into the Biscayne Aquifer.

EXISTING CONDITIONS Collection Residential solid waste collection in Hollywood is a municipal operation. Limited private collection of commercial and multifamily residential accounts was first allowed in 1971. The use of private haulers for multiple living units and commercial establishments producing more than two cans of refuse per collection or requiring collection more frequently than twice a week was encouraged to help alleviate manpower problems in the Sanitation Department and provide standby capacity in case of emergencies. Since 1971, these private companies have captured higher percentages of the municipal waste stream. Today, the annual tonnage collected by the sixteen private haulers operating in Hollywood is estimated to be in the 35,000-40,000 tons per year range, or about 35% of the total municipal waste stream. However, the majority of garbage collection services are provided by the City. Currently the annual tonnage has been averaging around 56,000 tons with a level of service standard of 8.9 lbs. per day per residential unit. The Sanitation Department of the City of Hollywood, a division of the Department of Public Works, is responsible for collection of all residential solid wastes and transport to the landfill sites. The responsibilities of the Department can be divided into six functions: 1) Garbage collection and disposal 2) Brush collection and disposal 3) Green Waste collection and disposal 4) Recyclables collection and disposal 5) Commingled Material collection 6) The sanitation garage *Garbage* as applies to all kitchen and table refuse, paper, rags, food scraps, and paperboard boxes. *Brush* applies to tree branches, palm fronds and shrubbery, cut to a maximum of four feet in length. *Green waste* includes the following materials: grass clippings, loose leaves, palm fronds, small shrubbery cuttings, weeds, and does not include brush. *Recyclables* applies to plastic food and beverage containers, aluminum, steel and tin cans, clear, green, blue and brown glass, newspapers, milk and juice cartons, and brown corrugated shipping boxes. *Commingled Material* as applies to household items and white goods: Household Items apply to old furniture, box springs, mattresses, sofas, carpeting, carpet padding, patio furniture, wood, metal, or barbeque grill (excluding propane tanks); White good apply to dishwashers, washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters, refrigerators (with removed door) and air conditioners. The Sanitation Department has a labor force of 76 full time employees including; administrative and supervisory personnel, a fleet of 51 vehicles, and brush landfill operation. The national average for productivity of sanitation services indicates that approximately 750-1,000 stops can be expected from an efficient sanitation crew. Hollywood gets 1,000 to 1,200 stops per crew. Reasons such as salary, fringe benefits, and good working relationships among workers have been identified as prime factor contribution to the Sanitation Department's high rate of productivity. Municipal waste collection services are provided by the garbage collectors and brush collectors. These crews operated from the City's Sanitation Department, located at 3501 Pembroke Road. The group of buildings found at this site includes the office of sanitation administration, a scale house, the maintenance garages, storage buildings, and a garbage transfer station. These structures, among with stands the shell of the old Hollywood incinerator, are surrounded by a parking area for the solid waste rolling equipment. In recent years, the demand for garbage collection has stabilized around 55,000 tons. ### Garbage Collection The City of Hollywood is divided into 32 waste collection districts. These districts are essentially residential or residential and commercial in nature. Sixteen districts are served on Monday and Thursday and sixteen on Tuesday and Friday. Waste collection field operations include backyard carry routes, alley routes which are part commercial and part backyard carry. Currently collection is curbside in gray garbage carts, provided by the City. Only City issued garbage carts are permitted due to the automated garbage collection system currently in place to single family and duplex residents. For recycling collection the city also provides green waste carts and recycling bins. Monday and Tuesday are the heaviest collection days. On these two days, the collection vehicles with a capacity of 12.5 to 13 tons are normally filled upon the servicing of five hundred residences. A typical 1,000 home collection route is covered in eighty hours on Monday and Tuesday, and in less time on Thursday and Friday. The Sanitation Department maintains daily collection records for each route. Over the course of a week, daily variation in the amount of garbage collected has been established. This form of accountability demonstrates that no predictable change in amounts collected occurs over a yearly period. It is interesting to note that although the seasonal influx of population to the Hollywood area is expected to cause higher tonnages of garbage generation in the winter months, and examination of the figures for tonnage of garbage collected each month reveals little monthly variation. Two factors which explain the lack of deviation between collection figures for the winter and summer months are the additional yard wastes produced and collected during summer months and the seasonal residents of condominium and apartment complexes who are serviced by private haulers in the winter months. Disposal Most of the current and potential problems in management of Hollywood's solid waste relate to the system of disposal. Traditional disposal practices, namely incineration and landfilling, have lost favor in the eyes of an environmentally conscious public. Energy recovery technology is expensive. Recycling is now mandated by State Law but voluntary efforts have been less than overwhelmingly successful. The City of Hollywood Incinerator Facility, equipped and rated at 225 tons per day, was constructed in 1958. By 1971, the City of Hollywood determined that in order to upgrade the incinerator to meet new federal stack emission standards, a capital reinvestment estimated at $1.0 million, more than 116% of the facilities original cost, would be required. The Hollywood Incinerator was closed in 1973 as a result of these costs. The garbage generated by Hollywood has been landfilled at various landfill sites since the closing of the incinerator. Garbage had been transported to Dade County to the Munisport Landfill site until 1980 when the Munisport Landfill site was closed. Until 1987, Hollywood used the Broward County Landfill site in Davie. At the present time, garbage generated by the City is taken to the Class I BIC landfill (Broward Interim/Contingency Sanitary Landfill). Future Regional Solid Waste Disposal The Board of County Commissioners has been designated by the Governor as the agency for the planning and implementation of all solid waste recovery projects in Broward County. The County has designed and picked sites for two resource recovery sites in Broward County. The one to be used by the City of Hollywood is located at State Road 7 and State Road 84. The design capacity for the next stage of the Broward Interim/Contingency Landfill is 2,500,000 tons. This is one of six cells to be further developed in this landfill. The South-Resource Recovery Plant has received certification for a generating capacity of 96.1 megawatts, and a current 66 megawatt capacity. The design disposal capacity of the resource recovery plant is 698,235 tons per year. The City of Hollywood after considering the available technologies and their feasibility decided to enter into an agreement with Broward County for the disposal of its waste stream at the south regional facility. Ash, which will generate from the mass burn plant, will have to be disposed by landfill methods at the South Broward Ash Landfill (SBAL). This landfill will has a design capacity of 1,653 tons with two cells still to be developed. The Trash Transfer Station used by the City of Hollywood is located in Hollywood at 1600 South Park Road and currently has an available capacity of 2,500 cubic yards per month (cy/month). The current demand is 5,500 cy/month. Since 2000 the annual tonnage has been averaging 55,000 tons per year. Since the City is almost fully developed it is not expected that this annual tonnage will increase, significantly. This 50,000 tons represents approximately 2% of the total capacity of the Broward County Landfill in 1990 and approximately 7% of the south resource recovery plant when it is opened. Although various individual cells within the existing Class I sanitary landfill used by the City of Hollywood will reach capacity by 2015, the landfills have sufficient acreage to allow expansion beyond the long-term planning horizon. **Table 1:** **Broward Interim/Contingency Landfill Capacity** | Cell | Status | Available Capacity | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | Closed | X | | 2 + 3 | Open | 4,823,000 tons | | 4 | Not Developed | 2,500,000 tons | | 5 to 7 | Not Developed | 18,555,000 tons | **Source: Broward County Comprehensive Plan 2006** Broward County's two resource recovery facilities are operating at 73 percent of capacity and sufficient capacity including only Broward County Waste is available to meet long-term needs. Each of Broward's resource recovery facilities is expandable by 33 percent, from 2,250 tons per day to 2,990 tons per day. Further, a site for a third resource recovery plant adjacent to the Broward County BIC Landfill is available to meet future needs. Hollywood sends its waste to the South Broward County Resource Recovery Facility for Incineration. **Table 2:** **Resource Recovery Facility** **South Broward County Resource Recovery Facility** | Opened | Current Demand | Available Capacity | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1991 | 1,700 tons/day* | 550 tons /day* | **Source: Broward County Comprehensive Plan 2006** *** Broward County Waste Only*** To determine if enough capacity is available both in disposal and collection vehicles, the City shall adopt the following solid waste level of service standards. ### Table 3: ### Solid Waste Level of Service Standards | Land Use | Solid Waste Generated/Unit | | :--- | :--- | | Residential | 8.9 lbs. per unit per day | | | | | Industrial & Commercial | | | Factory/Warehouse | 2 lbs. per 100 sq.ft. per day | | Office Building | 1 lb. per 100 sq.ft. per day | | Department Store | 4 lbs. per 100 sq.ft. per day | | Supermarket | 9 lbs. per 100 sq.ft. per day | | Restaurant | 2 lbs. per meal per day | | Drug Store | 5 lbs. 100 sq. ft. per day | | | | | School | | | Grade School | 10 lbs. per room & 1/4 lbs. | | | per pupil per day | | High School | 8 lbs. per room & 1/4 lbs. | | | per pupil per day | | | | | Institution | | | Hospital | 8 lbs. per bed per day | | Nurse or Intern Home | 3 lbs. per person per day | | Home for Aged | 3 lbs. per person per day | | Rest Home | 3 lbs. per person per day | **Source: South Florida Regional Planning Council** **Broward County Comprehensive Plan 2006** The City reserved the right to withhold 10% of its waste stream in the future for disposal by other technologies that are developed and implemented in other communities. ### Recycling A popular but under utilized disposal method is recycling. Unfortunately since 1995 the amount of recycling has decreased from above 30% to 23% in 2004. Generally, this is thought of as metals, paper, and glass. However, organic materials and plastics can also be recycled. Organic materials can be recycled by home gardeners in compost piles. However, such disposal in large quantities is messy and, if not done carefully, can be unhealthy. Therefore, this type of composting should be left to individuals who wish to undertake the project for private purposes. Plastics recycling is beneficial to the environment. The recycling of plastics is done through the sorting of different types of plastics for various forms of reuse, the number code on plastic bottles represents a common form of plastics sorting. This form of recycling is simple for the customer and can cause a reduction: in energy consumption, in water usage, and in carbon dioxide generation. Metals (especially aluminum), glass, and paper already have recycling markets established. The City has actively encouraged recycling of these materials; not by ordinance but on a voluntary basis. However, Florida State Law now requires the reduction of local waste streams by 30% by 1995. The City is presently beginning to establish a recycling program to meet the State goals. The 1988 Solid Waste Management Act also required each county with a population exceeding 50,000 persons to achieve a 50 percent recycling goal for each of the five following materials by the end of 1994: newspaper, glass, plastic bottles, aluminum cans and steel cans. These recycling goals have not been achieved in Broward County according to the Broward County Comprehensive Plan. The recycling of yard wastes and brush has a tremendous potential to reduce the waste stream of the City. However, an acceptable sit to compost and/or chip material and distribution system must be found for the by-products of this process before such a program is undertaken. ## II. ANALYSIS ### Present Collection System As indicated in the previous text, the present collection system of picking up garbage, brush, and hard junk works well. Occasionally there are breakdowns because of illegal dumping violations. Illegal dumping is a problem that must be addressed by code enforcement. The one area that may be of concern regarding collection is the condition of rolling stock equipment. The purchase of new equipment is a major investment that generally has a life of 15-25 years. Wear and tear on collection equipment is very heavy, especially with long hauls to landfill sites, so maintenance of collection vehicles is important to maintaining the existing level of service. ### Disposal System With the City's agreement to enter the County Regional Resource Recovery System, the City has adequately addressed its disposal needs. Waste disposal in South Florida is a complex issue. The scarcity of suitable land for landfills, the high water table, and the fragile ecosystem all come into play when considering disposal of solid waste. Table 4: Projected Capacity Broward Interim/Contingency Landfill | Year | Demand | Available Capacity | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2015 | 570,000 tons | 1,204,000 tons | However, the cost of disposal, as indicated, is very high. The City needs to explore methods to reduce the overall cost of disposal, especially recycling. State Law presently sets a goal of reduction of local waste streams by 30% by 1995; this was met but since then has dropped to around 23% in 2004. Recycling metals, glass, paper, plastic, and yard wastes would come very close to meeting the state goal. # III. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES ### Goal: Provide a cost effective and equitable solid waste disposal system which emphasizes resource recovery and meets all federal, state, and local environmental quality standards. ### Objective 1.0 Solid waste management facilities shall be provided to meet the City's short-term and long-term future needs.

INTRODUCTION Intergovernmental coordination is a term often used to describe the relationship of governments working together to achieve the same or similar goals. The concept of intergovernmental coordination is promoted theoretically in political science, public administration and planning as a way to cut down bureaucracy and reduce expenses. Under the Florida Growth Management Act of 1985, and subsequent revisions and additions as reflected in Section 163.3177, Florida Statutes, state legislation has emphasized strong intergovernmental coordination, the analysis of existing coordination mechanisms, and the identification of coordination needs. The Intergovernmental Coordination element identifies the government entities with which the City of Hollywood interacts; briefly describes that interaction and the mechanism used to coordinate; analyzes coordination issues described in the other elements of the comprehensive plan; and outlines goals and objectives for improving intergovernmental relations. ## Existing Conditions The City of Hollywood is an incorporated municipality located in Broward County. The City shares common borders with unincorporated Broward County and the Cities of Dania Beach, Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, Miramar, Pembroke Park, and Pembroke Pines. Hollywood has interlocal agreements with all of these governmental entities. In addition, the City interacts formally and informally with numerous state and regional agencies, utility companies, authorities, and special districts for the provision and regulation of services. Table 1 lists those entities, the subject of their relationship with the City, the existing mechanism for coordination, the nature of the relationship, the City department or division having the primary responsibility for coordination, and the effectiveness of the coordination mechanism. # II. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS ## Existing Coordinating Mechanisms This section describes the existing mechanisms by which the City coordinates with other local governments for the provision of services and management of growth and development. Interlocal Agreements - Interlocal agreements provide a useful tool to formalize coordination among local government entities to achieve a common objective. The City has numerous agreements with other municipalities, taxing authorities, Broward County and other County, Regional, and State agencies, relating to the provision of services. League of Cities - The Broward League of Cities was formed in 1957 to promote intergovernmental cooperation and encourage the exchange of information among Broward's thirty municipalities. Hollywood participates in League functions and is involved in the organization's efforts to enhance communication among local governments. The City also actively participates in the Florida League of Cities. Broward County Planners Technical Committee- The Broward County Planners Group was formed to facilitate coordination among local governments in the preparation of their comprehensive plans. The South Florida Regional Planning Council organizes meetings and presentations. Hollywood is represented on the Planners Technical Committee by an Office of Planning staff member. Metropolitan Planning Organization - The Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is comprised of nineteen elected county and municipal government officials, and a non-voting member who represents the Florida Department of Transportation. Hollywood is represented on the MPO by a member of the City Commission. The MPO was created to direct urban transportation planning and direct the expenditure of federal and state funds. It is the lead agency responsible for developing and administering plans and programs to maintain eligibility and receive federal funds for the transportation systems in Broward County. Technical Coordinating Committee - The Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) provides technical assistance regarding transportation issues to the MPO. The TCC is comprised of staff members from various county and municipal government departments. Hollywood is represented on the TCC by an Engineering Division staff member. Development Review Committee - The Development Review Committee was created by Broward County to ensure consistency of development with County plans and regulations. Plat applications for developments located in Hollywood must be reviewed and approved by the committee. Membership on the committee consists of representatives from various County departments: the School Board, local utilities, South Florida Water Management District, Department of Transportation, County's Fire Marshall, Sheriff's Office, and numerous other agencies. Effectiveness of Existing Intergovernmental Coordination Mechanisms Most of the existing mechanisms for Intergovernmental Coordination have proven to be sufficiently effective as to result in a satisfactory relationship with the agency or government involved with the City of Hollywood. The effectiveness of these various mechanisms in relationship to the agency or government involved is summarized in Table 1. # TABLE 1: INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION MECHANISMS Authorities Broward

III. INTERGOVERNMENTAL ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN This section describes some of the issues and problems identified in each of the Comprehensive Plan Elements. #### Future Land Use The Broward County Charter gives authority for land use planning to the County's Planning Council. The Council's jurisdiction is county-wide, and consequently limits the degree of flexibility that individual cities can exercise. Redevelopment in the Downtown and Beach Community Redevelopment Areas (CRAs), and major corridors (US I, Dixie Highway, Hollywood Boulevard, and SR-7/US 441) require the cooperation with other agencies. Redevelopment in the CRAs requires cooperation with Broward County Department of Urban Planning and Redevelopment. The City shall cooperate with FDOT and the South Florida Regional Planning Council where appropriate on redevelopment on its major corridors and development of TOCs (Transit Oriented Corridors) and TODs (Transit Oriented Districts). #### Traffic Circulation Transportation planning for the City of Hollywood is part of a coordinated effort for the Broward County metropolitan area as a whole. Responsibility for the roadway system is divided among the State, the County, and the individual cities, and requires the participation of all parties. Coordination is provided formally through the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The MPO is responsible for adopting short and long range transportation plans and policies for the County. These plans are developed in concurrence with the plans of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Staff input is provided through the Technical Coordinating Committee. Regular monthly meetings of these organizations help to keep all parties informed about transportation related issues. The City of Hollywood will continue to implement measures to improve unsafe access, traffic and pedestrian conditions on SR-7/US 441 and development which support transit service. As a general observation, based upon existing development intensity permitted in the City’s land use categories and the County’s projected traffic volumes and capacity along major commercial corridors, it appears future development will negatively impact the surrounding transportation roadway network. Therefore, ongoing coordination among the partners is essential and timing and sequencing of proposed public and private projects are also critical to providing viable alternatives to single-occupancy vehicle travel in and around the City. The City is also part of the SR-7/US 441 Collaborative which was formed to create an area-wide comprehensive and functional Master Plan to guide future redevelopment activities along the corridor. The purpose is to collaborate with other local governments to address current land use, transportation, economic and aesthetic issues along the SR-7/US 441 Corridor and increase intergovernmental coordination. ### Port, Aviation, and Related Facilities The Transportation Element and Coastal Management Elements address the need for improved communication among Port Everglades, adjacent municipalities, and the Broward County Aviation Department. The elements call for regular meetings to be established to improve communication and cooperation among all parties. This cooperation will help to bring about the potential economic benefits described in the master plans for these facilities while mitigating negative impacts. The City does not support expansion of the south runway at Ft. Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport or increased use of the airport's south and crosswind runways by large jets because of potential negative environmental impacts. The City shall continue coordination with Broward County and the Federal Aviation Administration. As stated previously in this element, an interlocal agreement exists among Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, Dania Beach, and the Port Everglades Authority to share responsibility for providing certain services at the Port. If that occurs, the interlocal agreement may be amended or terminated. The City will continue to be involved in issues such as the development of land at the Port that is within Hollywood city limits, and other capital improvements within the port that affect the City of Hollywood. ### Recreation and Open Space The Recreation and Open Space Element calls for an expansion of the relationship between the City and the School Board to better coordinate the use of indoor and outdoor recreation facilities and programs. It also identifies a need to coordinate with the County's transportation service to help senior citizens and handicapped persons access local parks. ### Conservation Conservation issues involve a number of governmental entities, and the coordination of their efforts is essential to the preservation of natural resources. Many of these cooperative efforts are described in the Conservation Element. The Conservation Element includes numerous objectives and policies for cooperating with county and state agencies in the enforcement of conservation measures. These measures provide for the protection of such natural resources as West Lake and the coral reef, as well as the maintenance of air and water quality. ### Coastal Management One of the most crucial coastal management issues requiring intergovernmental coordination is hurricane evacuation planning. Broward County's Emergency Management Division (EMD) is the primary agency involved in disaster planning. The cities are responsible for carrying out EMD's evacuation plan. The County also has responsibility for providing adequate bus transportation for the evacuation of residents. The City's Police and Fire Departments will assist in an evacuation, and will ensure that the correct procedures are followed. The City has recognized in the Coastal Element that its Disaster Plan needs to be updated and organized so that lines of communication and schedules are clearer. In its Goals, Objective, and Policies, the Coastal Element has addressed a number of interjurisdictional actions which the City will be involved in to ensure its citizens that hurricane evacuation measures are improved. These include working with Broward County Emergency Management Division, Division of Mass Transit, and Social Services Division to provide more emergency Mass Transit service to elderly persons and persons with special needs. Housing The City works with various Broward County agencies in providing loans for affordable housing and home repairs to very-low, low and moderate income persons. Capital Improvements There were no specific concerns regarding intergovernmental coordination identified in the Capital Improvements Element. Utilities The provision of services such as solid waste disposal, drainage, potable water, and wastewater treatment is generally more efficient when accomplished on a large scale. For this reason, the City has entered into numerous agreements with Broward County and surrounding municipalities to coordinate these services. Hollywood's sewage treatment plant serves a regional area that includes Broward County and several adjacent municipalities. The formal mechanism for providing this service is the Large User Agreement. The most critical issue for the Utilities Element is cooperation of the City's water supplier with the SFWMD Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan and providing for alternate water supplies. Coordination of Plan with Regional Plan The goals, policies, and objectives of the City's comprehensive plan were coordinated with those of the South Florida Regional Planning Council. The coordinating mechanisms for the development and review of the plan provide numerous opportunities for the exchange of information. A comparison of the plans does not reveal any significant differences. IV.

SCHEDULE OF IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTED EXPENDITURES FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS...................................................................................... 18 I. PURPOSE Pursuant to the Growth Management Act which was enacted by the Florida Legislature in 1985, this capital improvement element is written to provide assurances that public facilities and services will be available to support development concurrent with the impacts on public facilities. The purpose of the Capital Improvements element is fourfold: (1) To evaluate the need for public facilities as defined in the other elements of the comprehensive plan; (2) To estimate the cost of improvements for which the City of Hollywood has fiscal responsibility; (3) To analyze the fiscal capability of the City to construct improvements; and (4) To adopt financial policies to guide the funding of improvements and to schedule the funding and construction of improvements in a manner necessary to ensure that capital improvements are provided when required based on the needs identified in the other elements of the comprehensive plan. II. INVENTORY Schedule of Capital Improvements A capital improvement project is defined as the major construction, expansion, purchase or major repair or replacement of buildings, utility systems, streets, or other physical structure or property which requires the expenditure of $10,000 or more and has an expected life of at least five years. The cost of a capital improvement is generally non-recurring and may require multi-year financing." Capital items costing under $10,000 and those with an expected useful life less than five years are approved and appropriated as part of the Operating Budget process. The City shall include all projects identified in the other elements of this plan and determined to be of relatively large scale and high cost ($25,000 or greater), as capital improvements projects for inclusion within the Schedule of Improvements with costs of less than $25,000 shall be included in the City's five-year capital outlay program or Capital Improvement Projects Schedule of the annual budget. Therefore the Schedule of Capital Improvements is a derivative of the Capital Improvement Projects list with a focus on projects that maintain level of service standards as listed in the Comprehensive Plan. Needs Derived from Other Elements The needs for public facilities have been identified in the other elements of this Comprehensive Plan and are inventoried in Table 1.

REVENUE SOURCES AND FUNDING MECHANISMS The City’s five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is developed separately from the Operating Budget and is presented to the City Commission for funding approval on an annual basis by the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. The General Capital Projects Fund, which accounts for general capital improvements financed from various governmental fund sources, is not accounted for in the Operating Budget. However debt service on capital projects is included in the Operating Budget, including debt service on new borrowing for capital projects based on the maximum amount authorized. Each year, the City Commission identifies priorities for the upcoming year and recommends a maximum amount of borrowing for capital projects at a CIP workshop held in July. The City currently derives funds from these primary sources: the General Fund, Gas Tax, General Obligation Bond, Golf Enterprise, and Open Space Trust Fund, Parking Enterprise, Stormwater Utility Fund, Water and Sewer Fund, General Obligation Bond and other sources of financing. These sources are described below: *Government Funds* *General Fund* This fund is made up of revenues from property taxes, utilities service taxes, franchises, licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, and revenue from property. The FY 2007 budget for general fund revenues is $170.6 million. The proposed FY08 budget is slightly higher at $171.6 million, an increase of less than 1%. Gas Tax The Gas Tax Fund is a Special Revenue Fund that accounts for the City’s share of Local Option Gas Tax revenues levied by Broward County. The funds are divided into three (3) primary functions; a payment into the General Fund to reimburse for street and right-of-way related expenses and a payment to debt service. The remaining portion is allocated to capital projects. In FY 2007, the Gas Tax Fund totaled $2,798,139, a decrease of 2.5% or $73,031 from the FY 2006 Adopted Budget. Income from the Gas Tax should equal $2.86 million in FY08. Enterprise Funds Golf Enterprise This fund provides for all financial activity associated with the City’s golf operations. The primary sources of revenue for this fund are golf greens fees and memberships, as well as, payments made to the City by the operators of the Hollywood Beach and Eco Grand golf courses. The 2008 budget for the golf enterprise is $3.5 million. Parking Enterprise The Office of Parking Services manages the City’s parking system and is charged with providing a clean, safe, and convenient parking program throughout the city at reasonable rates. Funding for parking operations and services are provided through the Parking Enterprise Fund, whose primary revenue sources are parking fines, parking meter/garage revenue and parking permits. In FY 2007, the resources for the Parking Enterprise Fund will total $5,674,517, an increase of 15.59% or $765,244 above those of FY 2006. The 2008 approved budget for the parking enterprise is $6.1 million. Stormwater Utility In FY 2005, the City Commission authorized phased increases in the fees charged by the City for water, sewer and stormwater services provided to City residents, beginning June 2005 and achieving full rollout October 2009. Effective October 1, 2005, the rates were increased by approximately seven percent (7%) above the base rates established in June 2005. Revenues for the Stormwater Utility will be approximately $2.6 million in FY07 and FY08. Water and Sewer Utility The Water & Sewer Utility Fund is the second largest fund in the City. The purpose of the Water & Sewer Fund is to provide water and wastewater management services to the citizens of Hollywood and several other governmental entities. In FY 2007, this fund totaled $63,700,898, an increase of 9.4% or $5,475,939 over the FY 2006 adopted budget. The FY2008 revenues from the Water and Sewer Utility will be just over $63 million as well. Open Space Trust Fund The Open Space Trust Fund is a conglomeration of funds set aside specifically for investment in parks and parks facilities. *Financing of Capital Improvement Projects* In accordance with the City’s policy not to issue notes to finance operating deficits, all outstanding debt relates to capital improvement projects. The City’s total principal balance on outstanding debt of $379,056,555 as of October 1, 2006 as identified in Figure 3A below, is significantly lower than the legal debt limit of $1.9 billion which is calculated as 15% of the nonexempt taxable value of real property. The Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds are payable from revenues of the Water and Sewer Utility Fund; State of Florida Revolving Fund (SRF) loans are payable from revenues of the Water and Sewer Utility Fund; and the First Florida Governmental Financing Commission (FFGFC) loans and the Sunshine State Governmental Financing Commission (SSGFC) loans are both secured by a City’s covenant to budget and appropriate non-ad valorem revenues to satisfy loan repayment. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 108 Loans are secured by the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. In FY 2005, City residents passed a two-part referendum authorizing $53.7 million in parks, recreation and public safety capital improvement projects to be paid through a General Obligation Bond (G.O.B.) to be implemented over five to seven years. In addition, the G.O.B. projects are primarily facilities and equipment replacement, improvement or expansion, which result in limited impact on operating costs. The General Obligation Bond (G.O.B.) is payable from ad valorem assessments against residential property tax bills over a period of up to twenty-five years. In May 2006, the City Commission approved an additional $18.0 million in borrowing for projects including $7.1 million for the Wastewater Treatment Plant oxygen generation system; $4.0 million in parks and recreation facilities and equipment; $3.2 million for right-of-way improvement; and $2.6 million in improvements to municipal facilities. Parking rate increases were approved in FY 2006 resulting in the availability of funds for additional Parking Enterprise debt service. Borrowing for FY 2007 debt-financed projects was reduced from the usual annual $5 million to $1.4 million for General Fund projects plus $100,000 for a Gas Tax Fund traffic calming project. <

LOCAL POLICIES AND PRACTICES The City annually prepares and adopts operating budgets for its various departments. Through the budget process, capital improvement needs are considered and funds are allocated. Timing and location of public facilities is determined by needs projected by the various departments of the City, and in the case of multi-jurisdictional facilities such as state or county roads, by coordination with the affected agencies. With the adoption of this plan, capital facilities will be planned and constructed in accordance with the established Schedule of Capital Improvements. This program is a a five year schedule of improvements which is supported by a projection of revenues to ensure its feasibility. Improvements included in the 5-year program include those items called for by the various departments of the City. There are four stimuli which prompt City departments to call for capital improvements; demand created from outside the City as well as within the City, * Anticipated demand through growth * Coordination of City plans with those of State agencies and water management districts, and other outside agencies * Demand for improvements created by facility breakdown or by life expectancy of the facility. * Maintenance of level of service standards # V. STANDARDS The need for capital improvements is based upon the level of service adopted by the City in the various elements of this Comprehensive Plan. These standards are discussed below and are used to reinforce the requirements of the Growth Management Act that services be provided concurrent with the impact of new development. ## Roads According to the Broward County Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Element, the City of Hollywood is comprised of three concurrency Districts. The majority of the city is located within the Southeast Concurrency District, a small portion to the west is located within South Central District and the Airport has its own District. The South East, South Central and Airport are Transit Oriented Concurrency Districts. According to Broward County, a Transit Oriented Concurrency District shall be a compact geographic area with an existing network of roads where multiple, viable alternative travel paths or modes are available for common trips. An area-wide level of service standard shall be established for each such District, for the purpose of issuing development orders and permits, based on the quality of transit services within the District. ROADWAY LEVEL OF SERVICE Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS)/Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Roadways: 1. Florida Turnpike and Homestead Extension – D 2. Interstate 95 – E 3. I-595 – D Florida Statutes also set standards regarding level of service for Regionally Significant TRIP funded facilities impacted by TCMAs, MMTDs or TCEAs: 1. SR 7/US 441 - D The City shall coordinate Level of Service standards and mitigation strategies with the Southeast Florida Transportation Council (created under Florida Statutes Chapter 334.175(5)(i)(2), to serve as a formal forum for policy coordination and communication to carry out regional initiatives of the MPO) on regionally significant transportation facilities within or near the City of Hollywood that could be eligible for TRIP funds: 1. Hallandale Boulevard 2. Hollywood Boulevard/Pines Boulevard 3. Griffin Road 4. Sheridan Street 5. US 1 6. University Drive For all other County and State roads the city shall adopt the area-wide Transit Level of Service as adopted per the Broward County Transportation Element. Within transit oriented concurrency districts, the transportation LOS standards, for the purpose of issuing development orders and permits, are to achieve and maintain the following by FY 2009: **The South East District shall:** Achieve headways of 30 minutes or less on 80% of routes, establish at least one neighborhood transit center, and establish at least one additional community bus route. **The South Central District shall:** Achieve headways of 30 minutes or less on 60% of routes. Establish at least one neighborhood transit center. Establish at least one additional community bus route. Expand coverage area to 48 percent. **The Airport/Port District shall:** Establish at least one community bus route. The City of Hollywood utilizes the generalized two-way peak hour volumes for Florida’s Urbanized Areas at the LOS “D” standard adopted by Broward County in the 1997 Comprehensive Plan. In the 1989 Traffic Circulation Element, the roadway LOS “D” standard was measured by the average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes; however, state law now requires the LOS standard be measured by peak-hour volumes. The City of Hollywood will continue to use the LOS “D” standard as the roadway concurrency standard for local roadways. Peak Hour Two Way Maximum Service Volumes The City shall adopt standards to provide exemptions to the generalized two-way peak-hour roadway level of service (LOS) standards per the Broward County Transportation Element. South East/South Central Districts Two Lane arterials 2,555 Four-lane arterials 5,442 Six-lane arterials 8,190 Eight-lane arterials 10,605 Sewer Service The level of service standard for the Hollywood portion of the sanitary sewer facilities of 315 gallons per day (gpd) per equivalent residential unit (ERU) shall be used.

ANALYSIS In order to support the goals, objectives and policies of the future land use element of this Comprehensive Plan, as well as to provide an efficient approach to land development, a comparison has been made of projected capital improvement expenditures with projected revenues for the City. The plans of State agencies and water management districts that provide public facilities within the City have been taken into consideration in this analysis. The priorities established in Table 1 are sufficient in their timing and location to support efficient land development and to support the goals, objectives, and policies of the Future Land Use Element. Table 4 provides the costs of the needs outlined in Table 1 and shows funds needed by project category and fiscal year.

Projections for FY2011 and FY2012 projected by Calvin-Giordano and Associates based upon average annual increases from FY2008 to FY2010. The purpose of this comparison is to test and demonstrate the financial feasibility of the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan has been determined to be financially feasible because this comparison demonstrates the ability of the City to finance capital improvements necessitated by the anticipated population and revenues. It is important to note the following in regard to the City of Hollywood's ability to fund capital improvements: * The impacts on the operating budget as noted in Table 3B are less than the overall revenues and available financing * There is sufficient financing through bonds for the needed capital improvements * Revenues from enterprise funds shall cover some capital improvement projects and the debt service * Funds have been committed for FY08 through FY11 and there are no capital improvements planned for FY12 at this time. * FDOT projects originate from their 5-Year Work Program (FY07-FY11). Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes requires that sufficient revenues are available for the first three years or will be available from committed or planned funding sources for years 4 and 5 of a 5-year capital improvement schedule. Financial feasibility must be shown for capital improvements that maintain or improve level of service standards. ## Schedule of Capital Improvements It is important to note that the 5-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements in Table 6 fulfills the needs stated in Table 1 of this Element. The year, amount of the project, funding source and whether or not the project maintains or improves level of service is noted. Projects needed to maintain level of service standards include FDOT roadway projects and City potable water and drainage projects. FDOT projects in the 5-Year Work Program are considered to have committed funding sources. For potable water projects, funding comes from the Water and Sewer and Stormwater Utility funds. Table 5A shows projected funds committed to related projects in the first three years of the Schedule of Capital Improvements.

IMPLEMENTATION In order to ensure that the standards established for Transportation, Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Potable Water, Drainage and Recreation and Open Space are maintained and not degraded by the issuance of new development permits, the City will establish a concurrency management system. The key component of this system will be a mechanism designed to monitor development permit application during the review process. Projects found to be degrading the required levels of service will not be permitted. This concurrency management system will ensure that the City's adopted levels of service are not degraded and will be adopted within one year after the City's required Comprehensive Plan submittal date. VIII. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES GOAL To undertake actions necessary to adequately provide needed public facilities to all residents within the jurisdiction of the City of Hollywood in a manner which protects investments in existing facilities, and promotes orderly compact urban growth. Objective 1: Create a 5-year schedule of Capital Improvements which will be coordinated with land use decisions, and which will ensure that the adopted level of service standards will be maintained through the correction of deficiencies and the provision of capital facilities to meet the needs of future growth. Policy 1.1 The City shall include all projects identified in the other elements of this plan and determined to be of relatively large scale and high cost ($25,000 or greater), as capital improvements projects for inclusion within the Schedule of Improvements with costs of less than $25,000 shall be included in the City's five-year capital outlay program or Capital Improvement Projects Schedule of the annual budget. Policy 1.2: The Capital budget will be adopted as part of the annual budget process. Policy 1.3: The City shall, as a matter of priority, schedule and fund all capital improvement projects in the Schedule of Improvements which are designed to correct existing deficiencies, as listed in this element. Policy 1.4: The City Manager shall coordinate the evaluating and ranking in order of priority projects proposed for inclusion in the Schedule of Improvements. Policy 1.5: The City shall amend its fiscal policies to ensure that the expenditures for capital improvements identified in the Capital Improvements Element are in response to the needs identified in the other Elements of the plan. Policy 1.6: Proposed capital improvement projects shall be evaluated and ranked in order of priority according to the following guidelines: a) Whether the project is needed to protect public health and safety, to fulfill the City's legal commitment to provide facilities and services, or to preserve or achieve full use of existing facilities. b) Whether the project increases efficiency of use of existing facilities, prevents or reduces future improvement cost, provides service to developed areas lacking full service, or promotes infill development. c) The City Manager shall coordinate the evaluating and ranking in order of priority projections proposed for inclusion in the Schedule of Improvements based on demand anticipated for future growth, facility life expectancy, elimination of blight, correction of existing deficiencies in service. d) Whether the project implements the policies of this Comprehensive Plan. Policy 1.7: The Schedule of Capital Improvements shall be updated on an annual basis. **Objective 2:** Limit public expenditures for infrastructure in coastal high-hazard areas that subsidize private development. Policy 2.1: Review and amend as needed the Zoning and Development Regulations and City Ordinances to prevent public expenditures or policies on infrastructure to subsidize private development in coastal high-hazard area. Since infrastructure is in place and the coastal area is fully developed public expenditures in these areas will be limited. However, development on the coastal high-hazard area must be carefully monitored and public expenditures for monitored and public expenditures for infrastructure should be carefully considered and not as a subsidy to private development. Policy 2.2: The City shall continue to provide or require provision of recreational facilities within high hazard coastal areas as needed, consistent with this Comprehensive Plan. Policy 2.3: The City shall continue to expend funds to maintain existing facilities and services at their existing capacity and level-of-service. **Objective 3:** Future development will bear a proportionate cost of facility improvements necessitated by development in order to maintain adopted LOS standards. Policy 3.1: The City shall continue to update its current impact fee schedules for park and recreation facilities. Policy 3.2: The City shall consider the use of other impact fees as may become necessary. Policy 3.3: The City will support the continued collection of County road impact fees on developments in Hollywood, and the expenditure of those fees for projects that improve traffic circulation within the City. **Objective 4:** The City will manage its fiscal resources to ensure the provision of needed capital improvements for previously issued development orders and for future development and redevelopment. Policy 4.1: Prior to the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy, the City shall require the provision of all needed public facilities. Policy 4.2: In providing capital improvements, the City shall limit the maximum ratio of outstanding general obligation indebtedness to no greater than 15% of the property tax base. Policy 4.3: The City shall continue to adopt a capital improvements program and annual capital budget as a part of its budgeting process. Policy 4.4: Efforts shall be made to secure grants or private funds whenever available to finance the provision of capital improvements. **Objective 5:** The City will implement a Concurrence Management System so that decisions regarding the issuance of development orders and permits will be based upon coordination of the development requirements included in this plan, the land development regulations, and the availability of necessary public facilities to support such development at the time needed. Policy 5.1: In order to assess adequacy of service for Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, Roads, and Recreation, the City will adopt with the adoption of this plan the levels of service outlined in the analysis of this element and set forth in the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Following Elements of the Comprehensive Plan: ROADWAY LEVEL OF SERVICE Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS)/Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Roadways: 1. Florida Turnpike and Homestead Extension – D 2. Interstate 95 – E 3. I-595 – D Florida Statutes also set standards regarding level of service for Regionally Significant TRIP funded facilities impacted by TCMAs, MMTDs or TCEAs: 1. SR 7/US 441 - D The City shall coordinate Level of Service standards and mitigation strategies with the Southeast Florida Transportation Council (created under Florida Statutes Chapter 334.175(5)(i)(2), to serve as a formal forum for policy coordination and communication to carry out regional initiatives of the MPO) on regionally significant transportation facilities within or near the City of Hollywood that could be eligible for TRIP funds: 1. Hallandale Boulevard 2. Hollywood Boulevard/Pines Boulevard 3. Griffin Road 4. Sheridan Street 5. US 1 6. University Drive For all other County and State roads the city shall adopt the area-wide Transit Level of Service as adopted per the Broward County Transportation Element. Within transit oriented concurrency districts, the transportation LOS standards, for the purpose of issuing development orders and permits, are to achieve and maintain the following by FY 2009: **The South East District shall:** Achieve headways of 30 minutes or less on 80% of routes, establish at least one neighborhood transit center, and establish at least one additional community bus route. **The South Central District shall:** Achieve headways of 30 minutes or less on 60% of routes. Establish at least one neighborhood transit center. Establish at least one additional community bus route. Expand coverage area to 48 percent. **The Airport/Port District shall:** Establish at least one community bus route. The City of Hollywood utilizes the generalized two-way peak hour volumes for Florida’s Urbanized Areas at the LOS “D” standard adopted by Broward County in the 1997 Comprehensive Plan. In the 1989 Traffic Circulation Element, the roadway LOS “D” standard was measured by the average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes; however, state law now requires the LOS standard be measured by peak-hour volumes. The City of Hollywood will continue to use the LOS “D” standard as the roadway concurrency standard for local roadways. **Peak Hour Two Way Maximum Service Volumes** The City shall adopt standards to provide exemptions to the generalized two-way peak-hour roadway level of service (LOS) standards per the Broward County Transportation Element. | South East/South Central Districts | | | :--- | :--- | | Two Lane arterials | 2,555 | | Four-lane arterials | 5,442 | | Six-lane arterials | 8,190 | | Eight-lane arterials | 10,605 | Sewer Service The level of service standard for the Hollywood portion of the sanitary sewer facilities of 315 gallons per day (gpd) per equivalent residential unit (ERU) shall be used.

(c) Transportation facilities needed to serve new development shall be in place or under actual construction within 3 years after the City approves a building permit that results in traffic generation. Policy 5.3: Proposed plan amendments and requests for new development or redevelopment shall be evaluated according to the following guidelines as to whether the proposed action would: a) Be consistent with the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element; and Coastal Management Element and not contribute to a condition of public hazard. b) Be consistent with the Transportation Element; Sanitary Sewer, solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element; and Recreation and Open Space Element and not exacerbate any existing condition of public facility capacity deficits. c) Generate public facility demands that may be accommodated by planned capacity increases. d) Conform with future land uses as shown on the future land use map of the Future Land Use Element, and service areas as described in the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Recharge Element. e) Accommodate public facility demands based upon LOS standards by provision of facilities by the developer or by the City consistent with this element. f) Be consistent with state agencies' and water management districts' facilities plans. Policy 5.4 The City shall maintain A Capacity and Level of Service Database of public facilities in order to assess concurrency of new development. The database will include assessments of the following: 1) The existing level of service 2) The adopted level of service 3) The existing capacities or deficiencies 4) The capacities reserved for approved but unbuilt development. 5) The projected capacities or deficiencies due to approved but unbuilt development. 6) Improvements to be made and the impact of such improvements on the existing capacities or deficiencies. ### IMPLEMENTATION The schedule of improvements has been shown previously in Table 4 of this element. This table details the improvements which are to be made in each year and describes the type, location, cost, and funding source of each improvement. The comparison of Tables 2, 3, and 4 in the Analysis section of this element demonstrates the financial feasibility of the planned capital improvement by comparing projected expenditures and projected revenues by funding sources. The capital improvements identified are consistent with the goals, objective, and policies of this Comprehensive Plan and enable the City to at last meet its established level of service standards. ### MONITORING AND EVALUATION As part of the annual budgeting process, the City will evaluate the status of all scheduled capital improvements and the overall status of public facilities in relation to current and projected demand, so that revision to budget, work programs, the Capital Improvements Program and this Comprehensive Plan may be made as necessary to ensure that facilities are provided in a timely and financially feasible manner, consistent with adopted level-off-service standards. This review will be coordinated by the City Manager. Also, the issuance of development orders and development permits will be monitored continuously to ensure consistency with this plan. The City's annual review will include the following considerations which will also be evaluated each year to determine their continued applicability: a. Any corrections, updates, and modifications concerning costs, revenue sources, acceptance of facilities pursuant to dedications which are consistent with the element, or the date of construction of any facility enumerated in the element. b. The Capital Improvement Element's consistency with other elements and its support of the Future Land Use Element. c. The City's ability to provide public facilities and services within service areas in order to determine any need for boundary modification or adjustment. d. The priority assignment of existing public facility deficiencies and the City's progress in meeting those needs that are determined to be existing deficiencies. e. The criteria used to evaluate capital improvement projects in order to ensure that projects are being ranked in their appropriate order of priority. f. The City's effectiveness in maintaining the adopted LOS standards. g. The City's effectiveness in reviewing the impacts of plans and programs of state agencies and water management districts that provide public facilities within the City's jurisdiction. h. The effectiveness of impact fees, and mandatory dedications or fees in lieu of, for assessing new development a pro rate share of the improvement costs which they generate. i. The impacts of special districts and any regional facility and service provision upon the City's ability to maintain its adopted LOS standards. j. Efforts made to secure grants or private funds, whenever available, to finance the provision of capital improvements. k. The transfer of any unexpended account balances. l. The criteria used to evaluate proposed amendments and requests for new development or redevelopment. m. Capital improvements needed for the latter part of the planning period, for inclusion in the Schedule of Improvements. # HISTORIC PRESERVATION ELEMENT <

BACKGROUND The 1989 City of Hollywood Comprehensive Plan contains the following reference to historic preservation: “To preserve and maintain historically significant structures located within the City.” (Housing Element Objective 5) While the City has implemented this objective, a separate Historic Preservation Element in the Comprehensive Plan is appropriate to address the important task of historic preservation in Hollywood. Chapter 163 *Florida Statutes (F.S.)* states that a comprehensive plan may include: “An historical and scenic preservation element setting out plans and programs for those structures of lands in the area having historical, archaeological, architectural, scenic, or similar significance.” (Chapter 163.3177 (7) (i), *F.S.*) Rule 9J-5.018 (2) *Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.)* states that the Historic Preservation Element shall be consistent with the Florida State Comprehensive Plan and the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida. The Florida State Comprehensive Plan contains the following goal: “…Florida shall increase access to its historical and cultural resources and programs and encourage the development of cultural programs of national excellence.” (Chapter 187.201 (19), *F.S.*) Likewise, the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida supports historic preservation with a policy to: “Protect the region’s historic housing resources and promote the rehabilitation, restoration and preservation of structures listed at the federal, state or local level in order to revitalize decaying neighborhoods.” (Policy 6.2.11) By adoption of this Historic Preservation Element, as a component of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the City of Hollywood will further both state and regional policies. II. DATA AND ANALYSIS Historical Significance of Hollywood Hollywood-by-the-Sea was founded by Joseph W. Young, an innovative developer whose vision of a planned new town was greatly influenced by the “City Beautiful Movement.” Much of the land within the original 18 square mile city limits was platted in the 1920s. Many buildings throughout the City were built in the 1920s and 1930s. Several architectural styles are represented, including Mediterranean, Moorish, and Art Deco. ### Historic Preservation and the Future of Hollywood Protection and revitalization of historic resources combats urban decay, promotes tourism, fosters civic pride, and maintains physical evidence of the City’s heritage. Historic preservation promotes excellence in urban design by ensuring the compatibility of restored, rehabilitated, or replaced structures. Since adoption of the 1989 Comprehensive Plan, the City has embarked on an ambitious plan to preserve its historic resources. A brief chronology indicates the major milestones: * 1980 Comprehensive Historic Site Survey by Marlyn Kemper, Director, Historic Broward County Preservation Board. * 1991 Completion of the Historic Preservation Plan. * 1994 Establishment of a Historic Preservation Board to review requests for demolition, new construction and building rehabilitation. * 1995 City obtained “Certified Local Government” status from Florida Department of State Bureau of Historic Preservation. * 1996 Designation of the first historic districts in the City of Hollywood. * 2007 Designation of the Hollywood Beach Historic Overlay District. ### Historic Designations The City of Hollywood has recognized the importance of preserving links to its heritage for future generations. Historic sites and buildings are located throughout the City; while historic neighborhoods provide a context for individually significant buildings. Most historic buildings in Hollywood continue to have viable use. Historic designation ensures that the present use of a building is not detrimental to its original form. It results in the sensitive renovation and rehabilitation of older structures to maintain their historic architecture. The City has adopted the national registry guidelines for building, additions, and safety (Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines of Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, U.S. Department of Interior National Parks Service, 1983). In 1996, the City amended its Zoning and Land Development Regulations to designate three historic areas. * Historic Hollywood Business District (45 buildings) * Harrison/Tyler Historic District (224 buildings) * Hollywood Lakes Historic Multiple Property Resource Listing (632 acres) In 2007, the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk became the latest overlay district to be given historic designation through amending the City’s Zoning and Land Development Regulations. Map HP-1 shows the City’s designated historic overlay districts as well as the 19 historic sites listed in the Zoning and Land Development Regulations. Table H-1 identifies the 19 historically designated sites.
