Riviera Beach City Council Approves New Police Headquarters Plans and Site Applications

The Planning and Zoning Board of Riviera Beach made significant strides towards enhancing local law enforcement infrastructure during their meeting on August 14, 2025. The board unanimously approved a series of measures aimed at facilitating the construction of a new police department headquarters at 1621 West Blue Heron Boulevard.

The meeting commenced with procedural formalities, including a roll call that confirmed a quorum. Following the approval of the agenda and minutes from previous meetings, the board moved swiftly to address new business items related to the police department's future.

Key among the decisions was the approval of an ordinance that changes the land use designation from recreation to community facility, a necessary step for the new police headquarters. Additionally, the board approved a site plan application submitted by CORE and PGAL Inc., which outlines the construction details for the facility. Another ordinance was also passed to abandon a right-of-way, allowing for the necessary adjustments to accommodate the new building.

These approvals are expected to streamline the development process, ensuring that the police department can operate from a modern facility that meets the needs of the community. The new headquarters is anticipated to enhance public safety services and improve operational efficiency for local law enforcement.

The board's actions reflect a commitment to investing in community safety and infrastructure, setting the stage for future developments that will benefit Riviera Beach residents. As the project moves forward, stakeholders will be closely monitoring its progress and the positive impact it will have on the community.
