Planning board recommends rezoning and approves three site/conditional‑use tweaks; roll calls unanimous
Summary
At its Dec. 15 meeting the board recommended approval of a Congress Avenue rezoning and land‑use map amendment, and unanimously approved a downtown arcade expansion and two site/architecture items; roll calls and vote tallies recorded.
Several agenda items drew brief presentations and unanimous board action during the Dec. 15 Planning & Zoning Board meeting.
- Congress Avenue land‑use map amendment and rezoning (Delray Corporate Center, 2855–2905 South Congress Avenue): The board recommended to the City Commission a privately initiated amendment to change the land‑use designation from Congress Avenue mixed use (CMU) to commerce (CMR), and a companion rezoning from MROC (mixed residential, office and commercial) to MIC (mixed industrial and commercial) for a 7.6‑acre site comprising five buildings. Staff cited market analysis and a projected net decrease in daily trips under the proposed zoning. Both recommendations passed on roll calls, each 7–0.
- Silverball (19 NE 3rd Ave) conditional‑use modification: Applicant requested approval to enclose 874 sq ft of second‑floor open space to add pool tables and updated restrooms; staff noted the expansion adds one parking demand equivalent that qualifies for an LDR exemption. The board approved the interior expansion and conditional‑use modification by roll call 7–0.
- The Link (202 NE 6th Ave) Level‑3 site plan with architectural elevations and landscape plan: The revised 4‑story, 10‑unit multifamily design addressed previous board comments on canopy, color palette and landscaping; the board approved the site plan and architecture by roll call 7–0, with staff noting the board’s authority to find loading arrangements adequate for the alley access.
Those approvals represent the board’s recommendations and site‑plan approvals; final administrative steps and City Commission actions (where applicable) will follow.
