Royal Poinciana zoning model to go before voters | www.palmbeachdailynews.com

Palm Beach will have an election on the PUD-5 ordinance in March. This is the more permissive land use and zoning designation which can be used in redevelopment along Royal Poinciana Way. There still seems to be much intrigue in the background about this, but the Town's attorney says everything is on the up and up. Click title for link to Shiny Sheet article. 
Under town law, the certification required the council to vote either to repeal the zoning ordinance enacting the planned unit development, known as the PUD-5, or to schedule the referendum. Councilman Bill Diamond’s motion to repeal it failed to come to a vote.
All three councilmen then said they favored letting voters decide the matter.
