Commission approves amendment to West Palm Commerce Park PUD to allow house of worship and accessory daycare on Lot 6
Summary
The commission voted 4–0 (with one recusal) to approve a major amendment to the West Palm Commerce Park Industrial planned unit development to permit a church/house of worship and accessory daycare on Lot 6; the change applies only to that lot and staff said a trip‑generation threshold was not exceeded by the proposal.
The City Commission on Feb. 18 approved a major amendment to the West Palm Commerce Park Industrial Planned Unit Development to permit a house of worship and an accessory daycare use on Lot 6, a 2.95‑acre parcel at the southwest corner of Tyler Lakes Boulevard and Haverhill Road.
Matthew Barnes, senior project manager with WGI and the applicant’s representative, explained the request would insert new rows into the PUD uses table to list houses of worship and daycare (as accessory to the house of worship) as permitted uses on Lot 6 only. Barnes said the change is limited to the subject parcel and would not apply broadly across the industrial PUD. A traffic analysis submitted with the application showed the PUD with the proposed change remained well under the conditional threshold of 2,649 daily trips that would trigger additional traffic study requirements; staff said the minor site plan is being processed administratively and that the project has proceeded through initial plan review.
Staff reported that the Planning Board reviewed the request on Nov. 19, 2024 and recommended approval unanimously (7–0) subject to conditions that the applicant accepted. Angela Vann, Planning and Zoning Administrator, told commissioners staff finds the amendment complies with the city’s rezoning and amendment standards and recommended approval of Resolution 270‑24.
Commissioners heard no public opposition and the commission approved the major amendment by a 4–0 vote with Commissioner Lambert recusing himself because of a disclosed conflict. The clerk recorded the motion as carried 4–0 with Lambert recused.
Ending: Staff said administrative site plan approval is expected within weeks and that conditions of approval and required site improvements will be enforced through the normal permitting and inspection processes.
