Comprehensive Plans are a Joke

Comment Up
When it comes to city's Comprehensive Plans, we know that it all can be compromised by elected officials. It happened recently here in Lake Worth when three commissioners voted to raise heights in our Comp Plan. A Charter Amendment on heights is the only way the people are protected.

Read more... about the humongous twin tower condo project on Flagler Drive.--how the builder might give $1 million to the neighborhood for this project to go through even though the number of units is more than double what is allowed in the Comprehensive Plan.

West Palm Beach's city attorney says that the City must be in control of the money. Shanon Materio suggests that the neighborhood does not trust the City.

The voters shouldn't trust any of them.

Amendment 4 and the firing of Stanton all over again. You and 5 others are the only ones that care. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Maybe everyone should live in concrete bunker style 2 story condos.

Don't kid yourself, anonymous. there are plenty of people who care. 1,719 certified signatures says so.

Incidentally, the only bunker styled looking condo in this city is The Lucerne, something we don't want any more of.

Perhaps Lizzie, you can change your tune now and then.

Comp Plans mean nothing. A speculator buys property zoned a certain way,say Agriculture,then goes into a death spiral if they don't get a zoning change to do something other than Ag on the land.They start screaming"MY PROPERTY RIGHTS,MY PROPERTY RIGHTS!!!!I guess the idea of knowing what the zoning allows on your land when you buy it is not a relative concept .
