Design Guidelines for Historic Properties and Districts, Hollywood, Florida

Purpose and scope: "The City of Hollywood has a rich and colorful history that takes physical form in a unique tapestry of historic architecture. Historic properties stand as a record of the various periods of the City’s growth; they give character and a sense of permanence to the City that in turn, helps to enhance property values, promote interest in local history and foster civic pride. The variety of architectural style, as well as the scale, rhythm and texture of the City’s historic districts are key elements that long-time and new residents of Hollywood find desirable. In order to protect the precious and finite resources which give the City its character, the Historic Properties and Districts Design Guidelines were developed to assist the Historic Preservation Board, owners, architects and contractors. The Design Guidelines recommend approaches to rehabilitation, additions, alterations and design for new construction within the historic districts and for individual sites. The Design Guidelines are intended to help maintain the high quality of Hollywood’s historic neighborhoods by providing guidance for the design of new houses, additions, maintenance and/or changes to historic properties." Funding was provided in part by a 2003 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Hollywood (project number FL-03-10) administered by the Florida State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 12-03-18209) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Hollywood, Florida is a Certified Local Government.
