Summary

Hollywood carries one zoning district built for farming: the AD Limited Agricultural District under Code of Ordinances § 4.5. It permits single-family dwellings, agricultural uses, horticulture, livestock, aquaculture and stables as of right, and the code frames the district as covering land used for farming purposes or land where a stricter designation would be premature.

This district is applied to areas which are used for farming purposes, and to other areas where it is premature to apply a more restrictive zoning district designation. Main Permitted Uses: Single family dwelling; place of worship; agricultural uses; horticulture; livestock; aquaculture; stables; railroad right of way; but not yards, shops or round house.
