Commission defers Hollywood land‑use hearing on 1301 S. Ocean Drive until after Live Local Act takes effect
Summary
Facing overlapping local rules and a pending city action under Florida’s Live Local program, Broward commissioners deferred consideration of a county land‑use interpretation for 1301 South Ocean Drive in Hollywood and asked staff to update an environmental review before rescheduling after July 1.
Broward County commissioners on May 26 voted to continue the public hearing on a county land‑use interpretation for 1301 South Ocean Drive (item 73) until after July 1, when the city of Hollywood’s Live Local Act provisions could take effect.
Commissioner Furr (speaker 17) said the Hollywood City Commission’s recent Live Local action made the county hearing premature and moved to continue the matter to the first meeting after the summer break so the county could update an environmental review. "That kind of makes this a little bit of a moot point," Furr said, arguing the county’s review would help citizens, developers and the city better understand the project and how the library site might be reimagined.
The board approved the continuation and took item 73 off the public‑hearing calendar; staff and the city manager were asked to coordinate any environmental work required before the item returns to the board.
