In a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around urban development and architectural design in Delray Beach. Key proposals included a landscape plan for Federal Highway aimed at enhancing aesthetics and safety. The plan involves eliminating the existing curb cut for a parking lot and replacing it with street trees, specifically cathedral oaks, and a green island featuring ficus hedges to create a buffer between the bike lane and traffic.

Architectural plans were also presented for a new building designed in the streamlined Art Deco style, reflecting the local heritage. The design draws inspiration from notable structures in the area, such as the Boyd building along Atlantic Avenue, showcasing clean lines and elegant features characteristic of the Art Deco movement. The proposed building will incorporate fluted pilasters and scored stucco, with lighting integrated into the architecture to enhance its visual appeal.

The meeting also addressed the proposed color palette for the building, suggesting an antique road color to complement the bronze window framing. The board members engaged in discussions about the design's compliance with local criteria and expressed support for the project.

Additionally, a level two site plan for a new Bricktops restaurant at 12 Northeast Fifth Avenue was introduced, indicating ongoing efforts to revitalize the area while maintaining its historical charm. The meeting highlighted the city's commitment to thoughtful urban planning and architectural integrity, aiming to balance modern development with the preservation of local culture.
