Lion Country Safari to get Land Use Change

On Tuesday, the Palm Beach County Commission approved more density at Lion Country Safari and will change the zoning. Lion Country says that it wants to develop some of its 637 acres. Guess who is their development consultant...Kilday, who else.

"The growth watchdog group 1,000 Friends of Florida opposed the latest Lion Country Safari proposal, saying the county should encourage development closer to existing roads, jobs and other community services.

"There is no justification of need," Joanne Davis, of 1,000 Friends of Florida, said about allowing more development at Lion Country Safari."

Well, Ms. Davis, if your group could come out in support of Amendment 4, Florida Hometown Democracy, perhaps this sort of political decision would cease to exist.
