Palm Beach County Zoning Commission denies Flamingo Terrace subdivision variance
Summary
The commission voted to deny a subdivision variance (SB 20241281) requested to split a 1.98‑acre waterfront lot on Flamingo Terrace into two lots and to allow access from an existing substandard right‑of‑way, citing failure to meet required variance standards and roadway constraints.
The Palm Beach County Zoning Commission denied a subdivision variance request for the Flamingo Subdivision (SB 20241281) after residents raised safety and neighborhood‑character concerns and commissioners concluded the application failed to meet required variance standards.
The request would have allowed the owner to split a 1.98‑acre waterfront parcel on Flamingo Terrace into two roughly 1‑acre lots and to continue accessing the lots from the road’s existing substandard right‑of‑way rather than bringing the roadway up to the Unified Land Development Code standard. Staff had recommended approval subject to conditions, including replatting and sewer construction to serve each lot.
Jeannie, representative of Kotler and Herring and speaking for the applicant, said the owner, Gregory Lee D. Lang, decided to rebuild two one‑acre lots after a house on the property burned. Jeannie said the proposal keeps the site’s LR‑2 future land use and does not request zoning changes. She told the commission, “We did have a traffic study performed on this, and it is only generating 1 in and 1 out daily additional traffic trips.”
