Boca Raton Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan - Aug. 10, 2010 On Tuesday Aug. 10th, 2010 the Boca Raton city council will be expected to approve significant amendments to the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan of the city for transmittal of this proposal to the State of Florida Dept. of Community of Affairs for their review and oversight of this process. This major change in the city's future planning process is the city's effort to circumvent the accountability of the city to it's voters in case the Florida Amendment 4 is approved by voters at the Nov. 2nd election. These amendments are very bad for the quality of life for the residents of Boca Raton asillustrated by section L.U.1.1.6 which is changing the LAND USE for all residential areas of the city to allow hotels to be built in these incompatible areas. Note, Land Use changes require the oversight of the State of Florida planners, whereas zoning regulations can be easily changed by the city of Boca Raton without any state or residential accountability. Hence, Land Use changes such as these proposed by the city are a threat to the quality of life of all residents of our city. . If you are a resident of Boca Raton and do not believe that a hotel next door to your home is a compatible use, then pelase consider sending an email to the city manager at: bocacm@ci.boca-raton.fl.us to express your opposition to this amendment. THIS POOR PLANNING COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE IN THE CITY OF BOCA RATON SO JOIN YOUR NEIGHBORS AND SUPPORT THE RESIDENTIAL QUALITY OF LIFE AND PROPERTY VALUES BY BECOMING A SUPPORTING MEMBER OF SAVE BOCA RATON GREEN SPACE. |
