Lauren McClellan of J. Morton Planning and Landscape Architecture, representing applicants Karen and Roger Fina, described the site and proposals: “The 10.11 acre property is located West of State Road 7 at the terminus of Atlantic Avenue on the North side of Atlantic Avenue, abutting the West Delray Regional Park.” McClellan told the commission the plan includes recreational amenities and would provide hookups not available at the county park.

Zoning staff recommended approval. Nancy Ferrantani of the Zoning Division told commissioners the applications include a subdivision variance to permit access from a 56‑foot right‑of‑way, a Type 2 variance to eliminate a portion of the right‑of‑way buffer, and a rezoning to a recreational‑vehicle plan development. “Staff is recommending the adoption of the request for the subdivision variance and the Type 2 variance and our recommendation of approval for the rezoning request,” Ferrantani said.

The preliminary site plan cited by staff described a larger program than the applicant’s presentation did: staff noted the preliminary plan indicates a total of 121 campsites — 113 RV sites and 8 camping‑cabin sites — with 1.12 acres of on‑site recreation, a clubhouse with pool and restrooms, a dog park and 143 parking spaces. The applicant’s presentation earlier described a smaller number (13 RV sites and 8 campsites), and the discrepancy was discussed during questions from commissioners.

Commissioners asked about enforcement of maximum stay limits for the cabin campsites, roadway width and circulation on the stretch of Atlantic Avenue adjacent to the site, and whether the nearby West Delray Regional Park and the Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge support a campground use. Staff and the applicant said campsite stays would be enforced through state requirements and county code, that the roadway meets required non‑plan‑collector standards and has been used by landscape service vehicles, and that the refuge attracts visitors who could use nearby lodging.

Commissioners took separate votes on the subdivision variance (item 9A), the Type 2 variance (9B), and the rezoning recommendation (9C). Each motion carried with commissioners answering “Aye” and no recorded opposition.

With the zoning commission’s recommendation, the proposal will proceed with the companion comprehensive‑plan amendment before the Board of County Commissioners and additional technical reviews before site development permits are issued.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PBC ZONING 5-01-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Palm Beach County Zoning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning to a recreational‑vehicle plan development and adopted two variances for a proposed West Atlantic RV Resort on a 10.11‑acre site near West Delray Regional Park.

The dispute centers on a prior zoning‑commission meeting at which residents say five nearby property owners submitted cards asking to speak but were not called. John Eubanks Jr., representing five neighbors, said those residents “sent cards in with request to speak and due to staff error the members in public were not called upon to speak.”

The issue prompted the commission’s county attorney to tell the meeting that the commission does not have authority under its rules to reconsider a recommendation after it has been transmitted. “There’s nothing in the code or rules which allow the zoning commission at this time to reconsider the item,” the county attorney said, noting that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) has the power to remand recommendations back to the zoning commission.

Zoning Division leadership acknowledged the missed public testimony and said staff would collect letters and materials from residents and include them in the BCC packet. “We will include all of the materials that were provided today and that we received in that packet, and we'll include a summary of the discussion today,” the zoning director said.

Speakers at the meeting described how the proposed development would change the character of adjacent agricultural and equestrian properties, and they asked for larger buffers, berms, and walls on the project’s perimeter. Michael Gordon, who said he operates an equine boarding facility adjacent to the site, said the plan “will significantly change the landscape and adversely affect my clients' horses as well as disrupt my enjoyment of my life in a rural setting.” Other residents raised concerns about traffic and property values.

The zoning commission’s prior recommendation is advisory; a final decision will be made by the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners at a public hearing scheduled for May 22 at 1 p.m. Staff and the county attorney told residents they may submit written materials and will have an opportunity to speak at the BCC hearing.

No motion to reopen or reconsider the zoning commission’s prior recommendation was made or adopted at the May 1 meeting. The commission accepted public comment at the May 1 session and directed staff to forward the collected materials and a summary of the discussion to the Board of County Commissioners for its May 22 hearing.","Residents told the Palm Beach County Zoning Commission on May 1 that staff failed to call several people who submitted comment cards on a Nash Trail rezoning. The commission said it lacks authority to reopen its prior recommendation; staff will include the new material in the Board of County Commissioners packet for a May 22 hearing.","actionData","errors"]
