Commissioner Marcia Woodward asked whether the county could provide “some sort of guidelines on best practices so there’s consistency on the rollout” as municipalities pursue different vendors and installations. County staff said municipalities that adopt their own ordinances will administer installations in their rights‑of‑way through permitting; the board would control deployments on county‑maintained roads via an ordinance for unincorporated areas. Staff told commissioners they were finalizing guidance documents and intended to coordinate with municipalities and the School District so rollouts would be more consistent.

Staff said the issue affects two levels: cities that adopt ordinances and the county’s unincorporated areas, which will require a county ordinance. Commissioners asked staff to coordinate with the School District and municipal partners to “do our best to ensure that there is that consistency,” and staff said they would return with recommendations and draft ordinance language in the months ahead.

Why it matters: Commissioners said consistent signage, look and advance notice of school‑zone enforcement will better ensure driver compliance and enhance child safety across municipal boundaries.

The board did not take a formal vote on ordinance language at the hearing; staff indicated they would return when guidance and draft ordinance text are complete.","Following questions about multiple municipalities selecting different school‑zone camera vendors, the board asked staff to finalize guidance and return with a proposed ordinance for unincorporated areas to promote a consistent look and public‑safety outcome.",{"_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},6260954,"County board directs legislative team to draft letter backing tourism, opposes House bill on TDT",951,2398000,3349000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3126496-f1ecfcead5def5feceeae19c6e7cc96f&start=2398&end=3349","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3126496-f1ecfcead5def5feceeae19c6e7cc96f/thumbnail_2398000.jpg","/articles/6260954/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/County-board-directs-legislative-team-to-draft-letter-backing-tourism-opposes-House-bill-on-TDT","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6260954-de71dc1931d4bd5d2223e907a76a7771/orig.mp4?Expires=1771203889&Signature=ggRLsKH5xmYzfxLm7mIyI8AYW1QmWYFwMcZcio5amXQsLAws7~4NXarrCnbB5snGCmGkWoYyYE7yOfcIv3zVyRW3j8teu58O-Sc9lh4suXRj1L3I6NW0TpYLx8XY73E77EoG9Czg6Cl4OXEvjfaph-RM18nxCa2z-onoB4cgHD4GOEpvmB~c~Dci6z99UKOjqlqdlYWNSztUFo6jcC12Y1J7ptIFGhENpiWkQyhobmn4I31S1hWSC43TC4OQmkcF8S6jcbcCiBpKUe9~R5VbERMIBtoIuektaHGIC8qom8GBjqqLWpO4ml7xGDKq~5eTtjuhDiTDC0lNRLsA73qHxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners voted 6-1 to direct the county’s legislative affairs team to draft a letter — to be approved by the board and signed by the mayor — urging state leaders to support the county’s tourism sector and to register opposition to the House bill affecting tourist development tax (House Bill 1221), the board said.

Commissioner Monica Flores urged action after recent developments in Tallahassee affecting tourism funding, saying she was “extremely concerned” and requested that staff and the county’s legislative team monitor and coordinate responses. Commissioner Sara Sachs moved that the legislative team prepare a draft letter for board review and the mayor’s signature; Commissioner Weiss offered a friendly amendment to incorporate explicit opposition to HB 1221 and that language was included in the direction to staff.

The clerk conducted a roll call. Commissioners Flores, Powell, Sachs, Weiss, Whitworth and Mayor Marino voted yes; Vice Mayor Baxter voted no. The clerk recorded the vote 6-1.

Why it matters: Commissioners said tourism is a major industry — a multi‑billion‑dollar economic sector in Palm Beach County — and that changes at the state level to tourist development taxes or related revenues could affect local services and beach nourishment programs. Board members asked the county’s legislative affairs staff to move quickly and consult with county partners and FAC (Florida Association of Counties) as appropriate.

The board directed staff to prepare the draft letter promptly for board review and signature.","The board voted 6-1 to have the county’s legislative team draft a letter under the mayor’s signature urging state leaders to support the local tourism industry and expressing opposition to House Bill 1221 (tourist development tax changes), directing staff to expedite the draft for board approval.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6260958,"Commissioners adopt Loxahatchee Estates overlay on second reading",46,1820000,1866000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3126496-f1ecfcead5def5feceeae19c6e7cc96f&start=1820&end=1866","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3126496-f1ecfcead5def5feceeae19c6e7cc96f/thumbnail_1820000.jpg","/articles/6260958/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/Commissioners-adopt-Loxahatchee-Estates-overlay-on-second-reading","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6260958-5f86fb349c7246742db8acc36b5d93a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771203889&Signature=MLPnzcZ~UL0JywgYCveonb5x91-PnobstiF5krG6CkYvhx5f3tNPROeDz3gMPtY2ILqSo0huGCsuhX1KxTnWxfHVYXo8bC3v48opCTTPU26C1KittwmNAZ0afEsz0XhuL0X1Bw7ss-FvAhMerX18j08HkKIttqQ-CDpKZxh4auNkHjiAzXP04H2IEoxIgAWj1umLznOsuGi3SzT0S3JgdDa3TN~i-Zrl2G8H9BjcZFvsSyK2Zr4VhfBZ4rv1ZjvRzjrczXxzwMr1Ct2YUp50MExKdcw6fGXL7lQfWx1nGgdDGn4zlHXRsBFHG9BuSkglWx8LUDfIsyWvVEhgaX0s6A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Palm Beach County commissioners voted 7-0 to adopt the Loxahatchee Estates overlay at second reading and final adoption.

Mayor Marino opened the item and no staff presentation was requested. Vice Mayor Baxter moved and Commissioner Weiss seconded the motion; there were no disclosures because the action is legislative. The clerk recorded the vote as 7-0 in favor.

Why it matters: Overlay districts change regulatory requirements for a defined area and are intended to refine land‑use controls and protections for local neighborhoods. The board adopted the overlay on second reading without amendments or public testimony at this session.

The request, presented by Don Herring on behalf of the applicant, was described as “to amend the zoning on this property to M.U.P.D.” He said the change would make the parcel consistent with adjacent MUPD zoning, allow “more innovative site development,” and preserve large, mature trees on the site. Herring also described water‑reuse and reverse‑osmosis systems in the car wash that reduce runoff and recirculate water.

The change matters because it aligns the property’s zoning with the parcels immediately east and west, and because the MUPD designation allows design flexibility the applicant said is needed for site layout, interconnectivity with neighboring properties and environmental preservation. Commissioner Sara Sachs, whose district includes the site, told the applicant she initially opposed the project but said the team had “worked very diligently” to make it “palatable” to the community.

Support and conditions presented at the hearing included:
- Preservation of two existing on‑site canopy preservation areas and significant front‑buffer trees, which the applicant emphasized in renderings and cross sections; Herring said the plan “is setback significantly” from Glades Road and will preserve the mature oaks.
- A staff‑suggested condition to require submission of architectural elevations at the time of Development Review Officer (DRO) review consistent with the elevations shown at the hearing; county staff asked that elevations be filed with the DRO package.
- A hiring commitment from the developer to employ people from JARC (a local organization that serves adults with developmental disabilities); Herring said the company’s “full intention” and “commitment” is to hire JARC clients.

Traffic, parking and use mix were discussed. Applicant traffic consultant Adam Kerr (Kimley Horn) was present; Herring and the applicant’s team said that tunnel car washes and storage generate comparatively low net new daily trips versus typical commercial uses and that the self‑storage element typically produces minimal day‑to‑day traffic. Herring also noted features such as RFID access, cameras and controlled access for the storage use.

Commissioner disclosures included multiple commissioners reporting verbal meetings and written communications with the applicant and project team; those were filed with the clerk as required. A public comment card from Leo Abdella (Christ Fellowship Church) indicated support.

The board moved and approved the rezoning and related development approvals by voice vote; the clerk recorded the motion as carrying 7-0. After the vote, Sachs said she was satisfied with the project changes and praised staff and the applicant for outreach and design adjustments.

Votes at a glance: Motion to approve rezoning to MUPD and associated site plan for El Car Wash and self-storage at Glades Road and Lyons Road — Approved 7-0.

Why it matters: The item changes the parcel’s zoning designation to match adjacent properties, allows a car wash with water‑recapture systems and a climate‑controlled storage use, and includes commitments on preservation and local hiring that county officials highlighted in the hearing.

The applicant closed by thanking commissioners for their input and the meeting moved on to other agenda items.","The Board approved a zoning amendment to MUPD for a 4.2-acre site at Glades Road and Lyons Road for an El Car Wash and limited-access, climate-controlled self-storage facility; commissioners secured commitments on architecture, tree preservation and hiring from JARC.","actionData","errors"]
