City of Lake Worth to change permitted uses in our downtown

With 16 items on the Consent Agenda (there is no commission discussion on items on the Consent Agenda) totaling more than $6 million dollars, this is our commission in "action." They earn their big raises every day and are totally transparent with the public, the guys who pay their salaries and $6,000 a year car allowance.

You wonder why our downtown sucks? We can vape it; we can drink ourselves to death; we can get medical marijuana in two dispensaries right on Dixie Highway; and now we will have a doctor' office a hop and a skip away from, well, all those who use the above.

PUBLIC HEARINGS A
BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION: Stateside Partners (“Petitioner”) is proposing a text amendment to allow Health Clinic-Urgent Care as a permitted use in the Downtown (DT) zoning district within the low and medium intensity Office use category in the permitted use table of the Land Development Regulations (LDRs), Section 23.3-6.

The Petitioner has a potential tenant, Doctor Mylissa Graber (owner of “Dr. G’s Urgent Care”), who wants to locate an Urgent Care Health Clinic at 127 North Dixie Highway. Doctor Graber’s clinic is a family owned and operated business with a current facility in Delray Beach. Although the Petitioner has a potential tenant for a specific site at 127 North Dixie Highway, the proposed text amendment will apply to the entire Downtown (DT) zoning district.

The Planning and Zoning Board (P&Z) and Historic Resources Preservation Board (HRPB) have both reviewed the proposal and have recommended as follows: - On December 6, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Board (P&Z) voted 5-0 to recommend to the City Commission that the text amendment be allowed as a permitted use within the low and medium intensity Office use categories in the permitted use table of the Land Development Regulations (LDRs). - On January 10, 2018, the Historic Resources Preservation Board (HRPB) voted 5-0 to recommend to the City Commission that the use require approval of a conditional use permit within the low and medium intensity Office use categories in the permitted use table of the LDRs.

Is there ever anything that these two boards don't approve?

Changes to historic homes of TAXPAYING residents.

These citizens are raked over the coals to make minor changes.

Sure glad I don't live here.

Sounds like the good doctor is a robo-signer for RX pot just like we had with the pill mills, they shut down and pop up in new forms.

It makes perfect sense. There is a need here for this, look at the high immigrant population right in this area, plus so many illegals who cannot drive, so perfect. Too, there will be the CVS right next door, perfect for the doctor. I think it seems fine and perfect. I had always hoped they would put a Taco Bell there, but they never did. It is better then another pot house. Not such a bad decision if you think about it.
