The North Palm Beach Village Council is expected at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 to consider final approval of a future land use map amendment and rezoning to add density at the southwest corner of Prosperity Farms Road and Allamanda Drive, one of the two roads leading into Siena Oaks.

The changes are to pave the way for the development of Prosperity Village—a community of 8 townhomes and 12 single-family homes, proposed by New Urban Communities, Delray Beach on 2.33 acres.

The North Palm Beach Planning Commission already approved both changes on Sept. 10. They call for a future land use map amendment that would change the property from low density residential to medium density residential. They also call for the property’s rezoning from an R-1 single family dwelling district to a PUD planned unit development district of four parcels.

The developer says its proposed community would be targeting empty nesters and professionals. Single family homes are slated to run 2,700-3,400 square feet and sell in the $800,000 range, while the townhouses are expected to run some 1,900 square feet and sell for about $500,000 each.

The city of Palm Beach Gardens has notified the North Palm Beach Planning Commission that it will not allow any access to or from the development via Allamanda Drive. The developers say traffic added by the development would tally 174 trips per day.
