The Planning & Zoning board of Juno Beach unanimously approved a temporary halt on new development applications for multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial projects. However, this moratorium will not affect any previously approved but unfinished commercial real estate ventures.
If the city council approves it, the 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 purpose of this pause is to allow 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 town’s charming seaside character.
According to reports from South Florida Business Journal, developers in South Florida are seeking out new areas for growth across three counties as they cater to an affluent demographic that continues to relocate from other parts of the country and world.
