Brownfield Redevelopment Designation

NOTICE:

The Pinnacle Property designation will be discussed at the June 7th Regular City Commission Meeting at City Hall, 2600 Hollywood Boulevard, Room 219. The meeting begins at 1:00 p.m. It is Item #20 on the Agenda. Discussion of a possible designation for the Regional Activity Center (RAC) is ongoing. The RAC designation IS NOT on the June 7th Agenda, as previously advertised in a local newspaper. We regret any confusion the inaccurate advertisement may have caused.

What are Brownfields?

Hearing the term Brownfield can be unsettling, as most people associate it with properties that are contaminated or polluted and in need of cleanup. While some Brownfield sites are contaminated, many are not and contamination is not required to designate an area or property as a Brownfield.

A Brownfield designation is a common tool used in redevelopment because it creates access to additional funding resources. The designation includes any property where expansion, redevelopment or reuse is complicated by actual or perceived contamination and is generally considered helpful for the redevelopment of areas.

In Hollywood, the designation was most recently used when the City and CRA designated the Adams Street parcels in downtown as such.

Is a Brownfield Designation Allowed?

The State of Florida has provided in the Brownfields Redevelopment Act, cited as Florida Statutes Section 376.77 - 376.85, for the designation, by resolution of a municipal governing body, of one or more parcels as a "brownfield area," and for the corresponding provision of environmental remediation, rehabilitation and economic development. The Act was enacted to reduce public health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites by offering incentives to encourage responsible persons to voluntary develop and implement cleanup plans.

Broward County has been delegated the authority to administer the Florida Brownfields Program on behalf of the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Why Designate an Area as a Brownfield?

Cleaning up or investing in Brownfields properties facilitates job growth, utilizes existing infrastructure, increases local tax bases, removes development pressures on undeveloped open land, and helps to improve and protect the environment.

Other benefits include:

Creates jobs
Prevents the premature development of greenspace
Encourages the highest and best use of blighted properties
Minimizes or eliminates the need for environmental enforcement or state-funded cleanup
Encourages community revitalization
Voluntary Cleanup State Tax Credits
Additional State Grants, and Revolving Loan Eligibility
