Planning Commission Meeting 09-11-26

The Palm Beach County Planning Commission held a meeting on September 11, 2026, primarily to consider a small-scale amendment for the Cobblestone Square development project. The amendment proposed changing 1.73 acres of land use from commercial high to urban infill to allow a five-story multifamily residential building with 181 units, including 15% workforce housing. The commission discussed traffic impact analyses, trip generation estimates, and the potential effects on Military Trail, a key corridor in the area. Staff confirmed that the project met urban redevelopment area policies and recommended approval. After questions and comments regarding traffic concerns and future infrastructure needs, the commission voted unanimously to approve the amendment. The meeting also included updates on county transportation planning and introduced a new member of the planning department focused on public outreach.
