County unveils new public zoning dashboard with application subscriptions
Summary
Planning and OTI staff demoed a public-facing zoning dashboard that displays in‑process and historical applications, interactive maps, reports and an application-level subscribe function; commissioners praised the transparency and asked for building-permit integration.
Palm Beach County staff demonstrated a new zoning dashboard that will let the public and development community track in‑process zoning applications, view historical approvals and receive application‑level notifications. Amit Samant (OTI) and an ODI presenter showed a live mockup that lists applications by district, maps their locations, and provides key performance metrics (submitted vs. completed applications, time trends, and district breakdowns).
The dashboard includes a subscribe button at the application level so residents, applicants or agents can receive updates. Commissioners responded positively and asked staff to add building‑division integration and additional reports. Staff said the public launch is targeted for September, pending final adjustments to notification functionality.
Why it matters: Commissioners framed the tool as a major transparency improvement that will help neighborhood associations, applicants and county staff coordinate on development activity. The subscribe feature is expected to reduce phone and email inquiries by offering automated status updates.
