The Planning & Zoning board of Juno Beach unanimously approved a temporary moratorium on new development applications for multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial projects. However, this will not affect any already approved but unbuilt commercial real estate developments.
If the city council approves it, the moratorium will be in place for either one year or until the completion of Juno Beach’s Community Vision and Master Plan process – whichever comes first. The goal is to give council members more time to work with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council in creating a new master plan that will help regulate development and preserve Juno Beach’s small coastal charm.
According to reports from South Florida Business Journal, developers in South Florida have been seeking out new areas for development across three counties as they cater to a wealthy demographic moving into the region from other parts of the country and world.
In summary: The town of Juno Beach may implement a building moratorium as their Planning & Zoning board has unanimously agreed on temporarily halting new development applications for certain types of projects. This decision aims to allow more time for creating a comprehensive master plan with guidance from regional planning authorities while also preserving its unique seaside character amidst increasing demand from affluent individuals relocating into South Florida.
