A new chapter for Riviera Beach’s Ocean Mall | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

Much of this sounds vaguely familiar. The names and details are different as is the place, but somethings are the same. Click title for link. From the article:

Ocean Mall redevelopment had been a lightning rod for criticism. Angry residents signed petitions in 2006 to repeal a city council vote giving the go-ahead on an ambitious plan: a 99-year lease and a privately financed 28-story hotel and condo complex, as well as the retail space.
A residents’ group sued the council after it refused to allow a citywide vote on hotel height and length of the lease. The city council sued the residents’ group.
Eventually, both measures went on a ballot, and voters ushered in plans for no more than a 50-year lease and a height limit of five stories.
