Allamanda Drive zoning changes removed from Thursday’s North Palm Beach council agenda

The developer of Prosperity Village, proposed for the northwest corner of Allamanda Drive and Prosperity Farms Road, has decided against moving forward yet on the development, according to Jeremy Hubsch, Village of North Palm Beach community development director. Zoning and future land use changes that would add density at that location, already approved by the village planning board, were to be considered for final approval by the North Palm Beach Village Council on Thursday, Oct. 24.

However, according to Hubsch, the developer is considering changing the site plan for the property, which would restart the whole process. The developer, New Urban Communities, had planned to add eight townhomes and 12 single family homes on that property.

So far, this year’s only remaining North Palm Beach planning board meetings, according to Hubsch, are Nov. 14 and Dec. 12.
