Planning & Zoning Board approves mural at 1715 N. Dixie Highway
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Board unanimously approved a mural installation at 1715 North Dixie Highway, granting an exception under the Land Development Regulations for a front‑facing mural with staff‑recommended conditions.
The City of Lake Worth Beach Planning & Zoning Board on Nov. 6 unanimously approved a mural installation for the property at 1715 North Dixie Highway after finding the proposal consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations except for its frontage location.
Staff told the board the mural meets mural criteria but requires a waiver because LDR Section 23.5‑1(e)(13) generally prohibits murals on building fronts facing Dixie Highway. Vice‑Chair Daniel Walesky moved to approve PZB Project 24‑00000021 with staff‑recommended conditions, and board member Dave Mathews seconded; the motion passed with a unanimous vote.
Board members discussed precedent concerns for murals along primary corridors and suggested that conditions attached to this approval could limit future impacts. Staff referenced a prior SBIP (Sustainable Bonus Incentive Program) approval for a different mural not directly facing North Dixie Highway to distinguish precedent. The board did not record any public opposition on the record during the decision. The approval authorizes the mural subject to the conditions specified in the staff report and does not change the text of LDR Section 23.5‑1(e)(13).
