Board approves Royal Palm Place changes, adds condition that garage construction start with hotel

The Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval (7–0) of amendments to the Royal Palm Place IDA to remove below‑grade parking, reduce the hotel from 144 to 137 rooms, build a 7‑story parking structure (501 spaces) with ground‑floor retail, and use a shared‑parking analysis that reduces required off‑street spaces; the board added a condition that the parking garage construction start at the same time as the hotel.
