In a recent Boca Raton City Council meeting, Mayor Singer opened with an invocation, expressing gratitude for first responders as Hurricane Milton approaches the area. The council members were all present, and the agenda was amended to include the introduction of Ordinance Number 5712.
The council approved minutes from several previous meetings without any corrections. During the board appointments segment, Lisa Mulhall was reappointed to the Civil Service Board, and Lorraine Blaenck was appointed to the Community Advisory Panel. However, there were no applicants for the Environmental Advisory Board or the Permitting and Construction Review Board.
The meeting progressed to the consent agenda, which was approved unanimously. The council then moved to quasi-judicial public hearings, specifically discussing Resolution 104-2024. This resolution pertains to an amendment for a site plan at 1800 North Military Trail, proposing a new six-story, 295-unit multifamily residential building that includes 10% affordable and 5% workforce housing units.
Council members disclosed various ex parte communications regarding the project, indicating ongoing discussions with the applicant's representatives. The meeting concluded with a presentation from the development services department, setting the stage for further deliberation on the proposed development.
