Board of County Commissioners Comp Plan Meeting – (CDNK Medical Plaza Initiation Hearing – SW corner NL & SPW)

UPDATE Date: 08/24/2025 1:15 PM — The meeting regarding the CDNK Medical Plaza has been postponed until at least September. (Paid members may disregard the automatic email sent earlier today.) However, Commissioner Baxter has introduced a new text amendment permitting the subdivision of smaller properties in Heritage Farms. Traditionally, such amendments are initiated by property owners, who are required to adhere to all necessary procedures and pay the applicable fees. Commissioner Baxter’s proposal would allow this property owner to bypass these requirements.

While the property in question is not located within the Ag/Reserve, this change has the potential to prompt future litigation that could affect Ag/Reserve properties as well. There is concern that such amendments may alter zoning regulations, which could impact the character of areas such as The Acreage/Lox by allowing zero-lot-line properties.

A public meeting regarding this matter is scheduled for 08/27/2025 at 9:30 AM in the BCC Chambers, 6th Floor, Jane M. Thompson Memorial Chambers, 301 N. Olive Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. The agenda can be accessed here. https://discover.pbcgov.org/pzb/planning/BCC-Agendas/2025/8-27-25/Agenda-BCC-8-27-25.pdf

Additionally, another meeting will take place on 08/28/2025 at 9:30 AM concerning the West End Crossing zoning and land use change. Attendance and participation are encouraged. Please wear white shirts if you attend! For further inquiries, please contact Bob Morgan at 305-975-4392.
