Decision on zoning referendum deferred | www.palmbeachdailynews.com

Palm Beach delays finalizing the referendum ballot language related to the implementation of what is called PUD-5 zoning along Royal Poinciana Way. This is an optional path to redevelop the area which would come up for review five years after it is enacted. The issue now is how to word what appears on the ballot so that it is neutral, but still explains what the PUD-5 will allow. It seems that we are not the only ones that turn into award-winning storytellers when it comes to initiatives on the ballot, or candidate for that matter. Click title for link to article.

Rosow said he personally heard petitioners misleading people while gathering signatures at St. Edward Catholic Church and at Publix. Rosow said the petitioners claimed the PUD-5 would cause Royal Poinciana Way to resemble Miami Beach and CityPlace. “I listened to what they said, and they lied,” he said.
