Planner Millie Rivera told the board the amendment adds a clear definition of live entertainment as an accessory use that may include amplified or non-amplified performances; it also defines nightclubs and establishes criteria (for example, operating hours past 10 p.m., frequency of entertainment, and characteristics such as dance floors, bouncers or cover charges) that would allow staff to determine whether a business is a nightclub. The amendment states nightclubs are not permitted within the city. Rivera said the revision to the restaurant definition clarifies alcoholic beverage service must remain incidental to food service to prevent restaurant-to-nightclub transitions.

ZTA 25-02 also reorganizes permitted-use tables to list liquor stores and to distinguish bar/cocktail lounge uses, and it refines the live-entertainment section (16-609) to include noise-control, public-safety and permit-review standards. The amendment clarifies mobile food-dispensing-vehicle standards (section 16-721) and notes that additional mobile-vendor criteria are being finalized with the city attorney and will be added before final City Council action. The Development Review Committee reviewed the draft and recommended approval; staff recommended the board approve the amendment, and members voted unanimously.

The board’s action approves the text amendment; implementation will follow typical code-amendment procedures, and staff indicated further legal review will finalize mobile-vendor language before any related enforcement changes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting - March 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning & Zoning Board approved ZTA 25-02, a city-initiated zoning text amendment that defines live entertainment and nightclubs, revises restaurant definitions and clarifies standards for live entertainment permits; the vote was unanimous.","taxTitle","Greenacres, Palm Beach County, Florida","taxId",52797,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6084687,"Board approves variance for Murphy USA fueling station at Forest Hill Boulevard",857,1529000,2386000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2908343-59a612c9bff55d7e803cc3487ee01956&start=1529&end=2386","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2908343-59a612c9bff55d7e803cc3487ee01956/thumbnail_1529000.jpg","/articles/6084687/Greenacres/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/Board-approves-variance-for-Murphy-USA-fueling-station-at-Forest-Hill-Boulevard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6084687-204ede8332044bdf5d7d9965c67de875/orig.mp4?Expires=1771225658&Signature=StZ58AMw~RJi1y6OqvDKgOm8mceBlZ2Z7z8BlZBZAlHl0iC112NTxhZTy7wUGgT0xWXmU1uNvnKGcXtfnDknsRTcT~oPjuwNNTRrBIPC4Gyh7pvjDgH08bvZDdFHELmq85J5ecZZDzBev3fqSVVvpqEolM-SFWYqd1Ki~BltBFYjIo0LleLF71Gk080lW66KHvKAg4VxRRsM~4D1aPp6SL19bI4MS8Z50WSCraVo82wOMYoOZMM4jANJMP2sCpbXm2kSwelFYqlPEXkCBWPkZAGf4KjwoWll5UamWwhXBNvRKWIBcgPVK9EmYZ3Y429XQjbUr9sqbAP0RnOcYh5kLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Zoning Board approved variance BA2308 to permit a new Murphy USA fuel station at 6270 Forest Hill Boulevard after agreeing to reduce the code’s 1,500-foot separation requirement between fuel stations to 768 feet for this site.

Johnny Gallagher, senior planner, told the board the applicant requested the variance from code sections cited in the staff report to allow fuel sales where an existing convenience store is already present on the parcel. The property owner was identified in the staff presentation as ARLFHJ LLC. Staff and the Development Review Committee recommended approval, concluding the application met the variance criteria in the staff report because of the built-out commercial corridor and limited available sites that meet the city’s frontage requirements on Forest Hill Boulevard or Lake Worth Road.

The applicant’s presentation described a redevelopment of the existing strip mall: a convenience store of about 2,824 square feet and a 12-fueling-station canopy, with the existing driveway configuration retained and an additional right-in/right-out proposed. The applicant said utility connections will use an existing lift station and stormwater will be retained on-site per FDOT and city requirements. The applicant told the board the site will be demolished and redeveloped and that hours would be 24 hours; the application does not include electric-vehicle charging stations.

Board members asked about spacing to other fuel stations; staff noted the closest other fueling station beyond the immediate pair is about 1.3 miles away. The variance approval allows the applicant to return to the board at a later date with the site-and-development plan, special exception and master sign plan, which were described by staff as separate approvals to follow if the variance is granted. The board voted unanimously to approve the variance; a named mover and seconder were not specified in the transcript.","The Planning & Zoning Board unanimously approved variance BA2308 to allow a Murphy USA fuel station and convenience store at 6270 Forest Hill Boulevard by reducing the 1,500-foot separation requirement to 768 feet.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6084692,"Greenacres board approves 44-unit Garden Square townhome site plan",1188,171000,1359000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2908343-59a612c9bff55d7e803cc3487ee01956&start=171&end=1359","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2908343-59a612c9bff55d7e803cc3487ee01956/thumbnail_171000.jpg","/articles/6084692/Greenacres/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/Greenacres-board-approves-44-unit-Garden-Square-townhome-site-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6084692-43e82e4e5d0c0965cd05b76200d40922/orig.mp4?Expires=1771225658&Signature=XKpaAyN-kV4CVoJ1bZFdFZAbNeBN288GfAcRI6~iCrhtoCyD4jRf4EuNkevom3gXPAolbq0yclpCXi778B-9HmDcjtUhqnNH65uqE0BMxC8zDwObWQKeDIBsKIMfvSIVFF1xzijL64kufKwjlXndNzn02qVqGJko4o-ZcUd3fqt4jBnMEUjRUH~yiynZt8xE3aGPuRq1hmSNEy~oZCNQ6MpQkBbI9xp3C66iJqgRiYEBW7AYHbbWvCsTZvRf43m8Vmct8KJQADimDP~rqyQdG-IN4QYAXRlI6nCzelWBLXmjdJtq8hWsNymbYD45v8q0ufyUyUA9up~kNtBb~sERNQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Greenacres Planning & Zoning Board voted unanimously to approve site and development plan SP2303 for the Garden Square Townhouse Development, a 44-unit project at 6645 Chickasaw Road.

Staff said the 4.9-acre site will accommodate ten buildings — four five-unit buildings and six four-unit buildings — for a total of 44 townhomes. The development will provide 174 parking spaces (64 in garages, 88 driveway spaces and 22 guest spaces), two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) spaces, eight bicycle parking spaces, a tot lot, and on-site stormwater detention and retention with additional Bald cypress plantings. Staff reported the townhomes will be about 27.5 feet tall, under the 35-foot height limit, and the proposed density of about 8.82 units per acre is below the comprehensive-plan cap of 10 units per acre.

The board packet and staff presentation identified surrounding uses as Park Point condominiums to the north, Sunset Ridge to the south, Chickasaw Manor single-family residences to the east, and Poinciana Place Phase 2 to the west. Staff noted the property was annexed into the city in 2004 and previously rezoned under SP2101 by City Council (resolution referenced in staff materials). The applicant team said they enhanced landscape buffers beyond code minimums, preserved several large oak trees behind Building 5, and provided pedestrian sidewalks and a central tot-lot amenity.

Board members questioned traffic and access. Staff and the applicant said the project met Palm Beach County concurrency and that county and city capital improvements to Chickasaw Road (constructed as part of a separate capital project) are in place. The applicant said they will pay their fair share toward Right-of-Way construction associated with the Chickasaw improvements. The fire marshal reviewed the internal turning radii and a vehicle-turn analysis showing fire and refuse vehicles can safely maneuver the internal circulation.

Staff-listed conditions of approval appear on pages 5–10 of the staff report; staff recommended approval with those conditions. The board approved the site plan unanimously. The record indicates the approval covers the site plan only; any future signage will require a separate master sign plan and additional permits.

Votes at a glance: the board approved SP2303 (Garden Square site and development plan) unanimously; a named mover and seconder were not specified in the transcript.

The applicant team said the next steps are building permits and compliance with the conditions in the staff report.","The Planning & Zoning Board unanimously approved site plan SP2303 for Garden Square, a 44-unit townhome development at 6645 Chickasaw Road, subject to staff conditions.","actionData","errors"]
