WOW!
Tucked into the SB 102 which the Governor signed as the “Live Local Act” at the end of March 2023 are a whole bunch of problems for the local government to deal with.
Basically, this new law REQUIRES a local county or municipality to appove a residential developements on land zoned industrial, commercial or mized use if they provide 40% of the units as workforce housing (state definition of workforce housing), up to the maximum density allowed ANYPLACE in that municipality and up to the max height of a similar residential or commercial building, located in that municipality, within 1 mile of the proposed site. Water Club in North Palm Beach is 22 stories or about 200′ and 1 mile south of Old Port Cove is the intersection of US-1 and Lighthouse Drive where we allow 24 base units an acre, plus 12 with workforce housing, so 36 as Route 1 is a mixed use (C-MU) district. Palm Beach Gardens allows 15 units an acre plus 6 with workforce housing, Jupiter is 15 units/acre max WITH workforce housing bumps on lower density lands but up to 15 max, Juno Beach allows 22 units an acre and does not have a provision for if any workforce housing provided. PBC is 18 plus 8 with WF housing.
