Council approves Marina Village rezoning and site plan for 508-unit mixed‑use development
Summary
After staff review, the council approved a rezoning and site plan for a 4.27‑acre Marina Village development at 1117 Broadway that includes up to 508 condos, ~10,000 sq ft of retail and four towers in phased construction, with council and public interest in parking, traffic and affordable housing mix.
The Riviera Beach City Council on Nov. 3 approved a rezoning and associated site plan for a large mixed‑use development proposed by Aqua Holdings (Aqua O). The project site at 1117 Broadway, covering approximately 4.27 acres, is slated for a phased buildout of about 508 condominium units, ~10,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and a parking garage with roughly 1,083 spaces.
Architectural renderings presented to council showed two higher towers (up to 20 stories permitted) and two lower towers (~13 stories). Staff said the development meets the city's downtown mixed‑use and planned‑unit development standards, complies with parking requirements (2 spaces per unit plus retail ratios), and includes streetscape, landscaping and civic open space. The developer’s phasing plan spans multiple years.
During public comment residents raised concerns about traffic impacts along Broadway, the number of high‑rise units and the scarcity of workforce‑affordable housing in the city. Speakers asked about traffic studies, parking, the proposed retail uses, and whether the city is prioritizing market‑rate units over workforce housing.
Council approved the site plan and special exception resolution after the presentation and public comment. Staff said they will monitor required traffic and infrastructure conditions and enforce any conditions of approval included in the resolution.
Next steps: the developer will proceed with permits and phased construction per the approved site plan; staff will monitor off-site traffic impacts and enforce conditions of approval.
