The Hallandale Beach City Commission on the December agenda read and approved multiple ordinances on first reading and approved several second‑reading items, with roll call votes generally unanimous (5–0).
First‑reading items included a fiscal year 2025 budget amendment, revisions to rules governing affordable‑housing bonus density allocations, modifications to duplex and multifamily definitions, and changes to plat and public‑hearing notice procedures.
