Here.

6:16

It appears we have quorum.

6:17

We can conduct business as presented on the agenda.

6:20

Since we did not have quorum in January, we're doing a little catch-up, which means that we have to approve the minutes from the December meeting.

6:26

Has everybody had a chance to review those minutes?

6:30

Move it, Mayor.

I'm a partner at Y Sorota Health and Colin Beerman.

7:09

We typically serve as outside legal counsel for the city.

7:12

Um, but in the interim, as um the city attorney is looking for an in-house land use attorney, I'll be here.

7:19

And so who knows how long that may be.

7:22

So I might you might get used to me, or you might not.

7:24

It might be somebody else, but I just wanted to start with just that, and so we'll proceed.

7:29

Florida courts have determined that there are certain types of m matters, including item number one on today's agenda, which are to be treated differently from other issues considered by the commission.

7:41

I'm sorry, the board.

7:43

Most decisions of the board are legislative in nature, meaning that the board is acting as a policy-making body.

7:50

However, in quasi-judicial matters, the board is applying existing rules and policies to a particular factual situation, and therefore acting like a judge or a jury in the courtroom.

8:22

However, in Hollywood, we have adopted a rule that allows the waiver of the quasi-judicial formalities.

8:28

Waiver can only occur if agreed to by staff, the applicant, and any member of the public who is present.

Summary of Proceedings

Hollywood Planning and Development Board Meeting - January 13, 2026

The Planning and Development Board of the City of Hollywood, Florida, met on January 13, 2026, at 6:00 PM (agenda time) to consider a design and site plan application for a 15-unit townhome development, receive updates on Development Review Committee (DRC) items, and review City Commission actions. The board unanimously approved the project after discussion on traffic impact and design.

Consent Calendar

  • Approval of Minutes: The board approved the minutes from the December 9, 2025, meeting by unanimous vote.

Discussion Items

  • Item 1 – Design and Site Plan for 2327-2339 Lincoln Street: The applicant, 2327 & 2339 Lincoln St LLC (represented by architect Joseph Kaler), requested approval for a 15-unit fee-simple townhome development on a 0.63-acre vacant lot at the northeast corner of Lincoln Street and 24th Avenue. The project includes 11 three-story and 4 two-story units, totaling approximately 29,274 square feet, with 32 parking spaces (including two guest spaces, one ADA-compliant). No variances were requested. Staff recommended approval, noting consistency with zoning and comprehensive plan.
    • Traffic Study Discussion: Board member Bob Blatner raised concerns about cumulative traffic impacts from multiple nearby developments and the adjacent school (Lincoln Park). City Engineer Clarissa Ip explained that a traffic study is triggered only when a project generates about 1,000 trips per the ITE manual, but staff reviews trip generation statements for smaller projects. She noted that the city is aware of cumulative impacts and coordinates improvements.
    • Design Details: Joseph Kaler presented the design, emphasizing vertical articulation and varied unit types to break up monotony. The project includes a swimming pool, bike storage, and public art. The architect also clarified that the adjacent Johnson Street development had no access to Lincoln due to a former Broward County traffic plan requirement.

Key Outcomes

  • Motion to Approve Design: Motion by board member and seconded by Stephen Morales. Unanimously approved.
  • Motion to Approve Site Plan: Separate motion and second. Unanimously approved.
  • No other votes or decisions were taken.

Other Business

  • DRC Summary: Staff reported that the January 2026 DRC meeting items were withdrawn, and the previous DRC (November 2025) heard an application for 1715 Roosevelt Street.
  • City Commission Actions: Staff noted that the land use plan amendment for 1301 South Ocean Drive (previously before the board) was approved on first reading by the City Commission in December and will go to the county. A site plan for that project will return to the board later. Also, a second reading for a brownfield designation at 826 South Dixie Highway was completed.
  • Attendance Audit: A board member requested an audit of attendance due to a member possibly exceeding three absences, which would deem the seat vacant. Staff will research with the board clerk.
  • Report to Commission: The chair inquired about a scheduled report to the City Commission; staff indicated the city clerk will coordinate timing.
