Planning Council approves traffic‑way waiver for single‑family lot on A1A in Hollywood

The Broward County Planning Council on Oct. 23 approved a traffic‑way dedication waiver for a single‑family lot fronting State Road A1A in the City of Hollywood, taking final action because the item did not require further planning‑level review.

Planning council staff recommended approval and told the council that review agencies—including the Florida Department of Transportation—and the City of Hollywood had not objected and generally supported the waiver. The applicant confirmed that no permanent structures will be located within the waived 10‑foot area, though the applicant did not represent any specific future improvements.

Council member Denise Horland disclosed a conflict and was recorded as abstaining from the vote on PH 1. The motion to approve was made by Commissioner Lamar P. Fisher and seconded by Mayor Rex Harden; the council approved the waiver by voice vote. For the record, the council noted that council member Horland did not vote on the item and that the council would file an abstention form with the meeting minutes.

Because this action is a final county land‑use administrative decision for a traffic‑way waiver, implementation will proceed according to the county’s transportation and permitting procedures and any applicable FDOT requirements.
