Comprehensive Plan Amendment — Hotel Room Pool, Flexibility Units, Hotel Density Bonus, and Transfer of Development Rights (File 26-L-18)
Description
The LPA voted 3-2 on each of three roll-call votes to recommend approval of the text amendments, but the joint board then voted 5-3 to recommend denial — so the City Commission gets split advice. No project can use these tools until a future zoning text amendment comes back.
Impact summary
Keeps the city legally compliant on water planning; consultants confirmed ample supply through 2045 with per-capita use falling.

Planning and Development Board - Feb 10, 2026
A state-mandated amendment adopting the 2025 Water Supply Facilities Work Plan by reference. Hollywood 2050's broader update is on hold because of Senate Bill 180, so this targeted fix keeps the city compliant by its March 2026 deadline.
