P&Z Meeting 07-20-2026 5:01 PM

The City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Board held a meeting on July 20, 2026, addressing several quasi-judicial and planning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a variance request by Verizon Wireless to locate a fiber optic hub building at 1207 South Swinton Avenue, involving front and rear setback variances due to unique site constraints. The board reviewed and supported the variance, noting the infrastructure's importance for wireless communications. Additionally, the board considered a conditional use request for evening outdoor dining at the Sunday Village development within the Old School Square Historic District. The request aimed to extend outdoor dining hours to midnight for several restaurants, with considerations for noise, garbage management, and parking. The board recommended approval to the city commission, emphasizing compliance with land development regulations and the comprehensive plan. The meeting also included a street renaming proposal within the Lucaya del Rey community to improve emergency response clarity, which was approved by the board. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but the meeting involved approvals that could impact future vendor coordination and city infrastructure projects.
