The Palm Beach County Zoning Commission convened on July 3, 2025, to discuss a proposed development project in the Beach Road area. The meeting focused on two separate waivers related to the project, which aims to enhance the existing site while adhering to modern design standards.

The project site, located in the northern part of Palm Beach County adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, is currently zoned for residential multifamily use and features a 12-unit building constructed in 1984. The developers presented a site plan highlighting the proposed building's layout, which includes landscaped buffers along the property’s boundaries to improve the aesthetic appeal of the area.

Key features of the new development include a two-story grand lobby and a design that internalizes parking, thereby enhancing the pedestrian experience along Beach Road. The developers emphasized that the new building will be taller than the existing structure, with a maximum height of 110 feet 2 inches, which includes architectural elements and amenities on the roof. This height is necessary to meet modern condominium standards and floodplain elevation requirements.

The presentation also compared the proposed building to neighboring structures, noting that it would feature a larger lobby and more spacious residential units. The developers argued that these enhancements align with contemporary consumer demands and contribute to the overall compatibility of the project with the surrounding area.

The meeting concluded with discussions on the implications of the proposed waivers and the next steps in the approval process. The commission will continue to evaluate the project to ensure it meets zoning regulations and community standards.
