Quote of the Day - Rodney Romano

Comment Up
You don't need to do Mixed Use...you can do multi-Family 20 which cuts the traffic problem by a third...still bad but something's going to come there and eventually the entire parcel, including mine, will and should be annexed into Lake Worth but in an organized, well planned fashion, not in the haphazard fashion that our city has been famous for over 75 years where we have apartments next to single family.

~ Rodney Romano
former mayor City of Lake Worth

Speaking to the rezoning of a large parcel of 6.54 acres off of 10th Avenue North. On a 4/1 decision with McVoy dissenting, the commission voted to upzone. From what I could ascertain, that entire street from around I-95 to US #1 is zoned Mixed Use West.

Now, I ask you, this is basically the same "haphazard" decision that this commission made last night on the rezoning of the Gulfstream Hotel parcels where there are many residential properties in direct proximity to that hotel.

Haphazard in the way it took 7 years to get our comp plan and LDR's in order with a sustainable future land use plan and then find someone stupid enough to try and follow them and bring his property into compliance with that long range plan?

According to Waters, we have one of the tightest plans for properties within our current borders of any municipality in the State of Florida. And HH met ALL requirements in their application for re-zoning.
