The Planning & Zoning board of Juno Beach unanimously approved a temporary halt on new development applications for multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial projects. This pause will not affect any previously approved but unfinished commercial real estate developments.
If the city council approves it, this moratorium will be in effect for 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 regulate development and preserve the small seaside character of this town in northeast Palm Beach County.
According to an article by South Florida Business Journal, developers from South Florida are looking beyond their usual areas for opportunities to build apartments, condos, and homes catering to wealthy individuals who are relocating from other parts of the country or world.
This potential building moratorium could have significant implications for future development in Juno Beach.
