1) CURRENT ADOPTED CITY PLANS

• Neighborhood Master Plan
  A planning and priority document developed by recognized Neighborhood Associations to improve City services, establish the future direction desired for the neighborhood, and the Association's priority for projects necessary to achieve that direction

• Land Use Plan
  A plan that identifies permitted land uses within the City with clear delineation between different types of uses including Residential, Commercial, and Industrial areas; a component of the Comprehensive Plan document

• Capital Improvement Plan
  A five year planning and budgetary document identifying improvements to City neighborhoods, parks, facilities, and infrastructure with sources of funding identified for each project.

• The Comprehensive Plan is a legally mandated document, governed by State Statute, which addresses the planning, development and land use issues of a city as directed by the State Land Planning Agency; but does not distinguish between different jurisdictional needs.

• The Comprehensive Plan does not provide direction nor vision for the City of Hollywood
  • It is not sensitive to the needs of a fully developed or "built-out" community
  • The plan does not generally address economic development issues within older communities

• The Proposed City-Wide Master Plan will provide a "roadmap" or "vision" for the future of the City by
  • Evaluating where the City of Hollywood is today
  • Determining the desired future direction of the City
  • Developing how the City is to achieve the desired future direction

• A City-Wide Master Plan will create a mechanism for the City of Hollywood to have continuity of decisions relating to the development and redevelopment activities of the City

• The City-Wide Master Plan will be a compilation of individual documents creating priorities, future direction, and implementation methodology designed to improve the appearance, appeal and economic base within the City of Hollywood

• Each of the Individual Plans will be policy and resource documents that address particular facets within the City, functioning to establish short and long term priorities, new geographic representations of the City, improved zoning and land use requirements, and infrastructure improvements for a particular City factor
