Wish is fulfilled for developer by West Palm Beach Commission

Comment Up
What developer wouldn't want to get his hands
 on this prime property? And the West Palm Beach Commission
just gave it to one.

Golf course gets up-zoned at Lands of the President.

Is anyone surprised that the West Palm Beach City commission approved of this? ...119 acres sitting right in the midst of residential zoning that has been in place for 40 years will now be up-zoned to commercial.

The proposed project, consists of a 3 story, 250 room hotel, 100 single-family houses, 23 cottages, 200 multi-family houses plus a 15,000 square foot spa. The area where single family houses are proposed, will be protected by a residential zoning says the commission. Big whoopie!

Kilday and Associates were involved, planners who represented the developers, and a firm that has never seen a development it didn't like and always comes up with the justifications for change.

  1. I can't understand you. They plan on a nice quaint 3 story hotel. In the Land of the Presidents, they have 15 story condos. How could you possibly be against them putting up a low rise hotel?

    Should they change their charter?

  2. What I am against, anonymous, is the commission changing the zoning for a developer. it has nothing to do with a 3 story hotel which is incidental.

    But you already knew that!
