Zoning commission recommends approval on a package of DOAs, rezonings and variances

At the end of its session the Palm Beach County Zoning Commission moved a series of recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. The commission approved motions by voice vote to recommend approval of the following items: Eastpointe Country Club (DOA to convert a 0.65-acre rec pod to two single-family lots); Southampton PUD (tree-preservation modification); The King's Academy (DOA for student capacity and parking changes); Nova Life RV Park (rezoning to commercial recreation); Walmart MUPD (store expansion and online-pickup reconfiguration); Limestone Creek (variance to retain 30-foot ROW); and Cobblestone Square (rezoning, DOA and waiver parts 7b/7c/7d).

Most votes were voice votes with "Aye" recorded for approval on the record; the transcript does not include roll-call tallies or named yes/no votes for the motions. Each recommended item will appear on a future Board of County Commissioners agenda for final action. Items that generated public comment included the Eastpointe Country Club DOA, where homeowners alleged unpermitted demolition of tennis courts; staff recommended approval and the commission recommended approval.
