Hollywood, FL Environmental Rules: Erosion Control (2026)

22, an application for site plan review goes to the Division of Planning and Urban Design and then to a Development Review Committee made up of representatives from Building, Community Development, Engineering, Transportation and Mobility, Planning and Urban Design, Police, Fire, Public Utilities, Public Works, and Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts. As part of the required drainage plan submitted with that application, the applicant must include an erosion and sediment control plan and supporting details built to Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Best Management Practices, specifically covering perimeter silt fencing, washdown areas, and inlet protection where those measures apply to the site.

The drainage plan submittal also has to show existing and proposed grades, finished floor elevations tied to NAVD 1988 and the most stringent FEMA FIRM or Broward County Future Conditions Flood Map, the direction of proposed drainage flows, delineated swales and retention areas, and a preliminary stormwater drainage report signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed professional engineer demonstrating on-site retention for a 24-year, three-day storm event, calculated to South Florida Water Management District and Broward County Chapter 27 criteria. Landscape plans must be coordinated with the drainage plan so proposed plantings do not obstruct on-site stormwater retention. 25.
