Riviera Beach planning board approves Safe Harbor replat to consolidate 19 parcels
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Board voted unanimously to approve a replat application from Safe Harbor that consolidates 19 parcels into a single property to support a related site plan (SP240020). Staff found the replat compliant with subdivision and zoning rules.
The Riviera Beach Planning & Zoning Board voted unanimously to approve plat application PA24006, a replat request from Safe Harbor that combines 19 existing parcels into a single property to support a related site plan (SP240020).
City senior planner Juan Suarez told the board the proposed replat covers about 18.72 acres and was reviewed for compliance with Chapter 177 of the Florida Statutes and the city's Chapter 30 subdivision regulations; an external engineering reviewer, Ingenuity Group, also reviewed the plat.
The replat would unite 19 parcels into one parcel inside downtown zoning districts the planner identified as Downtown Core and Downtown Marine. Suarez said staff from zoning, utilities, engineering, fire and the Community Redevelopment Agency reviewed the application and recommended approval to the board.
Richard Pinsky of Richard Pinsky Associates spoke for the applicant, Safe Harbor, and said the replat stops at 20 Second Street to leave a buffer area north of the marina core where neighbors currently use the space for walking and dog-walking. Mario Byrne, general manager for Safe Harbor’s West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach facilities, said Safe Harbor is consolidating parcels as it expands in Riviera Beach and indicated neighborhood enhancements remain under discussion with the city.
Board members asked about parking and neighborhood impacts. Pinsky said parking for the marina core will be consolidated inside the replat area and that an existing long‑standing obligation to Viking to accommodate parking remains; he estimated the new configuration would add about three spaces for an adjacent business but prefaced that number as approximate.
A motion to approve PA24006 as read into the record was made and the board voted in favor with the following recorded votes: Lucy Joseph — yes; Margaret Shepherd — yes; Renee Burgess — yes; Frank Fernandez — yes; Chair Wiley — yes. The motion passed and the replat application was approved.
The approval sends the consolidated parcel configuration forward to support the accompanying site plan review and related permitting work.
Details recorded in the meeting: plat application PA24006; associated site plan SP240020; staff review by Ingenuity Group; referenced authorities of Chapter 177, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 30 subdivision regulations.
