# BCC Zoning Hearing 09-24-26

This was a Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners zoning hearing held on September 24, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included a privately proposed text amendment to the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) concerning indoor shooting ranges, specifically allowing a type two waiver to reduce the 500-foot separation requirement from residential or civic land uses. The board initiated phase two for further research on this amendment, emphasizing the need for soundproofing studies and community impact assessments. Another significant agenda item was the adoption of a large-scale data center moratorium, with public comments highlighting environmental and resource concerns. The board also discussed the formation of a technical advisory committee to assist with emerging technology issues related to data centers but ultimately voted against establishing the committee, opting instead to hire a consultant to provide expert guidance. Additionally, the board received and filed the Countywide Transportation Master Plan, discussed funding and implementation strategies for major transportation projects with estimated costs around $8 billion, and approved modifications to workforce housing conditions for a specific development. Motions were passed to adopt ordinances related to flood damage prevention and to approve workforce housing projects with amended conditions. The meeting concluded with recognition of a retiring Land Development Director and a proclamation for a business matchmaker event.
