Planning & Zoning Board approves Lionbright site-plan change to add three units
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Board approved a site-plan modification for Lionbright Development to increase a previously authorized 24-unit project to 27 units, subject to 16 conditions covering construction plans, drainage, fire flow, and required easements; the motion passed 4-0.
The Palm Beach Shores Planning & Zoning Board on Aug. 27 approved a site-plan modification that increases a previously authorized condominium from 24 to 27 units for property associated with Lionbright Development. Attorney Jamie Gavigan introduced the application; Ozzie Nunez of Lionbright said the "27 units were permitted by code" and described changes including an additional unit on levels two and three and an increase in penthouse units from four to five.
Town staff told the board their Development Review Committee comments had been addressed but reiterated outstanding conditions. Town Attorney Dylan Brandenburg and Zoning Official Josh Nichols said prior comments were satisfied but maintained several conditions; Town Engineer Rob Rennebaum read ten standard engineering conditions and noted the civil plans submitted are conceptual and that full, stamped construction plans must be provided at the building-permit stage. The board also discussed parking, noting a drawing discrepancy that will be corrected to show 51 spaces and that the lower parking area will include one stackable parking space.
Anastasia Karloutsos moved to approve SPR25-14/AAR25-17 with sixteen specified conditions, including requirements for final construction plans and water-management calculations, an additional fire hydrant with a desired design flow of 1,500 gpm (and possible increase of the proposed 6-inch water main to 8-inch based on fire-flow testing), drainage coordination and grading to prevent runoff to adjacent properties, required permits from agencies such as Riviera Beach Utilities, the Palm Beach Shores Health Department (PBS Health Dept.), and the South Florida Water Management District where applicable, pre-construction meetings, final engineer certifications, and recording of plat and easements. Kevin Banks seconded. The motion passed 4-0.
Chairperson Janet Kortenhaus closed discussion by reminding applicants that "all applicants will be reminded of the code requirements," emphasizing that site maintenance, debris control, and adherence to permitted work hours are the responsibility of the applicant or general contractor. The approval is conditioned on the listed items being satisfied before building permits or certificates of occupancy where specified.
