PZHP Joint Workshop Zoom Meeting

The City of Lake Worth Beach held a joint workshop on June 18, 2026, involving the Planning and Preservation Division and the Historic Preservation Board. The meeting focused extensively on land development regulations (LDRs), administrative and board-level review processes for zoning and historic preservation applications, and challenges related to application completeness and timelines. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and potential modification of LDRs concerning non-conformities, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), front yard landscape requirements, parking regulations including tandem parking, and fence height regulations. The boards discussed the need for possible code updates to improve flexibility for housing options, streamline permit processes, and address inconsistencies in zoning and historic preservation standards. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the meeting highlighted ongoing efforts to improve application processing and regulatory clarity, which could impact future development and procurement activities. The workshop concluded with a consensus to consider further joint meetings to continue addressing these regulatory topics.
