The Board of County Commissioners will hear plans for new construction at the southeast corner of Yamato Road and US 441, at a zoning hearing today (6-22-06). Earlier this month the Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the application of Vangard Development Corp. for Land Design South, Inc. 15 acres of land would be rezoned to a multiple use development district. To the west across 441 is Boca Greens Country Club. The application is on the consent agenda for today.In June the parcel for the development of the Yamato Courty MUPD was separated from an adjacent piece of land where a development called the Hamptons PUD will be created and an additional two acres has also been set sied for the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Wastewater Pump Station No. 9 North.
Plans for Yamato Court show 45,846 sq ft of commercial retail space, to include a 4000 sq ft financial institution with 2 drive-up lanes, a 14,820 sq ft pharmacy and 20,026 sq ft of general retail sales in four separate buildings. There will be 1000 sq ft in a pedestrian plaza and a 5000 sq ft restaurant. Included would be a 2-story 70,000 sq ft private school for 300 students along with a 19,859 sq ft congregate living facility also made up of 4 buildings. The county’s engineering department estimates that the proposed project will generate 3,105 vehicle trips per day. Five letters were received from the public in opposition to the applications, primarily due to traffic concerns and the loss of a portion of the park site.
The Commission’s recommendation says, “Subject to the required landscaped buffers and the recommended conditions of approval, (county) staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to the surrounding properties from t request.” Thirty-four conditions were added for the project, including one that prohibits outdoor lighting at the school except for nighttime security lighting.
