Boca Raton council introduces zoning amendment on affordable and workforce housing
Summary
Clerk Sittins read Ordinance 57-53, which would amend zoning rules related to commercial/industrial multifamily development and how required nonresidential uses may be satisfied; a council member introduced the ordinance for later hearings.
At the Oct. 14 meeting the Boca Raton City Council introduced Ordinance 57-53, which proposes amendments to Chapter 28 (zoning) to modify how commercial/industrial multifamily developments satisfy nonresidential-use requirements (office, restaurant, retail sales or services) either on-site or within a quarter‑mile off-site.
Clerk Sittins read the ordinance title aloud. A council member moved to introduce the ordinance; the item concluded with the introduction and will require subsequent public hearings and readings before final adoption.
The ordinance text as read also corrects a scrivener’s error and provides for severability and codification. City staff did not present additional materials at the meeting; follow-up actions include scheduling required hearings and providing public notice.
Next steps: The ordinance will be scheduled for the statutory hearing and subsequent readings before the council; the clerk’s office and planning staff will handle notifications and materials for upcoming hearings.
