HPB Meeting 07-01-2026 5:01 PM

The City of Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board held a meeting on July 1, 2026, focusing primarily on historic preservation-related conditional use applications, certificates of appropriateness, variances, and waivers. Key procurement-related discussions included a conditional use request for Sunday Village to allow outdoor dining at night for five historic structures along South Swinton Avenue, which the board recommended for approval to the Planning and Zoning Board. Another significant agenda item was a certificate of appropriateness and variance request for modifications and an addition to a historic home at 102 Northeast 7th Street, which the board approved. The most contested item involved a certificate of appropriateness, demolition, relocation, variances, and waivers for 46 Marine Way in the Marina Historic District. After extensive discussion regarding compliance with historic preservation standards and visual compatibility, the board voted to deny the application. The meeting also included public comments, staff presentations, and deliberations on maintaining historic integrity while accommodating modern needs. No direct contract awards or procurement contracts were discussed, but several approvals and denials related to historic property modifications and land use were made, which could influence future development and vendor opportunities in the historic district.
