Comments:

The City of Hollywood has a designated Regional Activity Center (RAC) on approximately 1,450 acres in the downtown. The City hopes to be selected for a stop along the Tri-Rail Coastal Link corridor. If the City is selected, the train station will be in the RAC and the City anticipates converting the RAC area into a TOD. The City is currently working on rezoning efforts to advance this vision for the area.

Several zoning districts in the City of Hollywood allow a mix of residential and non-residential uses. One example is the Downtown Community Redevelopment district which is part of the Regional Activity Center and allows residential, office, commercial/retail, hotel, restaurant, and entertainment/recreation uses. One of the City's initiatives is to promote mixed use within the RAC.

Areas along SR 7 are designated as Transit Oriented Corridor future land use. The City is working on rezoning this area to promote mixed use. The City is working with FDOT on this area, as FDOT desires to make the road wider in this area. The City intends to finish the rezoning process in Summer 2017. More information about the SR 7 rezoning is available on the City's website.
