Boca Raton CRA considers amendment to Royal Palm Place hotel approval as debate centers on parking and design

At its Feb. 23, 2026 meeting the City of Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency heard staff and applicant presentations on an amendment to the Royal Palm Place Hotel IDA that would remove below‑grade parking and add a seven‑story garage; residents raised concerns about downtown character, while staff and the applicant said the plan reduces a longstanding parking deficit. Motion to adopt resolution CRP002R7 was recorded; the transcript does not include a roll‑call tally.
