Neighbors in Hollywood’s North Lake neighborhood lost their fight to prevent a new apartment building from being constructed, after the City Commission approved the four-story, 22-unit building at North 16th Avenue and Shenandoah Street.
Residents argue the project is too large, doesn’t fit the neighborhood, and will worsen flooding in the area.
“There are no 2-story buildings on Shenandoah, let alone 4-story,” resident Terri Kish asked. “How can that be harmonious?”
The project had initially been rejected by the Planning and Development board in February. However, four commissioners requested a review of the decision, and the measure ultimately passed the commission unanimously.
