26-6700 — Private school (up to 2,000 students) and high-density residential (92 units) in Jupiter, FL
Jupiter Christian School is seeking to rezone approximately 56.6 acres from Industrial (I-1) to Public Institutional (38.6 acres) and High Density Residential (18.0 acres) to accommodate a private school and residential development. The project raises significant traffic impact concerns, with staff noting the proposed development would exceed current roadway capacity along Indiantown Road and require substantial infrastructure improvements including road widening and additional turn lanes. Staff recommends considering a trip cap to limit development intensity to what the planned South Island Way improvements can accommodate without exceeding adopted level-of-service standards.
