Summary
The Royal Palm Beach council approved its consent agenda (with correction and later approval of a Shakespeare festival date), unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 1068 (animal nuisance ordinance) and unanimously approved a comprehensive‑plan amendment to create a Mixed‑Use Social Center land‑use category for 15–<40 acre sites along State Road 7.
The Village Council on Jan. 15 approved all consent agenda items (after pulling and correcting item 6, a special‑event permit for the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival). The consent package included minutes, a professional services contract renewal, fee‑schedule updates, surplus property declarations and several special‑event permits including West Fest and church events.
On the regular agenda the council voted unanimously on two items: Ordinance No. 1068 (a new animals/nuisance code section with civil penalties up to $500 and an affidavit requirement for enforcement) and a comprehensive‑plan text amendment creating a Mixed‑Use Social Center (MXS) designation intended for 15–<40 acre redevelopment sites along State Road 7 with standards for density, FAR and open space. Both measures passed by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call vote in the transcript.
