Summary
A representative of the Frisbee Group/Terra Group urged the board to expand the CRA density bonus pool for Westgate Boulevard redevelopment of the Palm Beach Kennel Club site. The board approved motions to transmit the proposed text amendment and to receive and file the associated materials by voice vote, 6–0.
Jackson Rispera, representing the Frisbee Group and partner Terra Group, addressed the board during the public hearing to voice support for expanding the CRA density bonus pool tied to redevelopment of the Palm Beach Kennel Club site.
Rispera, who identified his address as 221 Royal Poinciana Way and said he spoke on behalf of project partners, said the redevelopment would “help attract high quality investment, encourage smart growth, and further the county's goals of promoting housing, economic vitality, and reinvesting in the urban core.”
