Summary of Proceedings

Boca Raton Planning and Zoning Board Regular Meeting - April 17, 2025

The Planning and Zoning Board met on April 17, 2025, at 6:00 PM and adjourned at 6:10 PM. The single agenda item was a quasi-judicial public hearing to consider an amendment to the Boca Technology Center Development of Regional Impact (DRI) development order. The board voted unanimously to recommend approval.

Consent Calendar

  • Minutes of March 20, 2025: Approved unanimously.
  • Minutes of April 3, 2025: Approved unanimously.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No members of the public spoke on the agenda item.

Discussion Items

  • Boca Technology Center DRI Amendment (SC-24-10/PZMP-2024-00003): The applicant, represented by David Millage of Miskel Backman, LLP, requested to reduce the total acreage of the DRI from approximately 224.44 acres to approximately 217.84 acres (a 6.6-acre reduction) by removing the Tri-Rail Station property located at 680 Yamato Road. The amendment also modifies Exhibit 2 (Master Plan Map H-1) and updates tabular data. Senior Planner Peter Begovich presented staff findings, noting that the removal of the intermodal node facility and 20,000 square feet of transit-oriented retail from the master plan is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. The Tri-Rail station and driveway have been constructed and will remain. The board had no questions for the applicant. No public testimony was offered.

Key Outcomes

  • Motion to approve the DRI amendment: Moved and seconded. The board voted unanimously in favor (5-0). The motion carried, and the recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council. The approval was contingent on the condition that the City Council's earlier approval of the CIMD project on the Tri-Rail property (340 units, 10% affordable, 5% workforce, and approximately 30,100 square feet of commercial uses) expressly required this DRI amendment.
