The applicant (Summit Square LLC) has been addressing Village comments through multiple submission revisions, with most items now satisfied but variance approvals still outstanding.
PSV26-17 — variance
This variance reduces a required 15-foot landscape buffer to 12.1 feet adjacent to residential property and is part of a broader Minor Site Development Plan with multiple variance requests for 4363 10th Avenue North. Staff recommends conditional approval as the project is consistent with the Land Development and Zoning Regulations and will enhance the Village's property valuation.
PSV26-16 — variance
This variance request seeks relief from the rear yard setback requirement adjacent to residential zones, reducing the minimum distance from 30 feet to 12.1 feet. This case is relevant if you are developing a project in Palm Springs that requires reduced setback flexibility near residential areas.
PSV26-15 — variance
This case seeks variance relief from the City of Palm Springs loading space requirement under Section 34-1330(C)(1). Approval would allow a project to proceed without providing the required loading space. Developers should monitor if this variance affects similarly situated projects or sets precedent for loading space waivers.
SPR26-06 — Place of assembly (church) - 5,247 square feet with maximum 204 seats, administrative offices, and waiting area
Centro Familiar de Adoración, Inc. is converting an existing tenant space (5,247 sq ft) in a commercial shopping center to a place of worship with 204 seats, requiring a Site Plan Amendment and Special Exception Use. The operation is scheduled for weekday evenings (6-9 pm) and Saturday evenings (4-10 pm), with potential overlap with another church on Thursdays requiring 118 minimum parking spaces.

This is a Site Development Plan Amendment for redevelopment of a 0.73-acre property combining two parcels into a single parcel with an 8,428 square feet flex-space facility (warehouse on first floor, office on second floor). The project includes demolition of one warehouse, renovation of another, and requires a variance for a reduced rear setback (20.2' instead of 30') adjacent to residential property.
34-602 — Commercial retail/office building (1,796 square feet)
A minor site development plan for a 1,796 sq ft retail/office building on a 0.26-acre nonconforming lot in the Commercial General district, with five variance requests related to lot depth, setbacks, loading space, and landscaping buffers. The project is conditionally approved subject to staff report conditions and must obtain required permits from Palm Beach County and Village departments.
34-826 — 8,428 square foot flex-space facility with 3,330 sq ft warehouse on first floor and 4,022 sq ft office space on second floor; renovation of existing 888 sq ft warehouse to include 166 sq ft waste room
The applicant seeks a variance to reduce the rear setback from 30 feet to 20.2 feet adjacent to residential areas to facilitate redevelopment of a 0.73-acre property into an 8,428 square-foot flex-space facility combining warehouse and office uses. The Planning and Zoning Board approved the variance request 5-0 with staff conditions, which will enable the construction of a mixed-use warehouse and office building to serve the neighboring community. This development may enhance property valuations in the area and affect neighboring properties.
34-1249 — Flex-unit office and warehouse use (two buildings: one existing warehouse building to remain, one new two-story office/warehouse building)
CIDA Properties seeks approval for a special exception to develop a flex-unit office and warehouse use on two parcels (31,954 SF total) in the CG-zoned Community Redevelopment Area, comprising a new two-story building alongside an existing warehouse structure. The development requires only one setback variance (30 feet to 20.2 feet from residential) and meets all other code requirements including landscape buffers, office/warehouse ratios, parking, and pedestrian amenities, while generating fewer vehicle trips than permitted by-right retail uses and creating new employment opportunities in an underutilized area.
34-1248 — Ground-floor warehouses with second-floor office spaces for commercial and administrative functions
This case involves a flex units development with ground-floor warehouses and second-floor offices that meets all applicable zoning requirements including parking, setbacks, and Supplemental District Regulations. The project includes a minor renovation of an existing warehouse to add a waste room and incorporates contemporary architectural features with ADA-compliant accessibility. The development provides structured access via 42nd Way S with circulation through internal corridors connecting to the Lake Worth Road frontage.
25-0524 — Two-story warehouse and office building with 9,316 SF gross floor area
This case involves a variance request for a new two-story mixed-use warehouse and office building at 4300 Lake Worth Road. The project seeks a setback variance from the required 30 feet to 20 feet 2 inches from residential properties, reducing the required setback by 9 feet 10 inches. The development includes 9,316 SF of space with two warehouse bays and two office suites in the CG commercial zoning district.
SP-101 — New warehouse and office building (two warehouse bays totaling 3,678 SF and two office spaces totaling 4,022 SF for a total of 9,316 SF gross floor area)
This case involves approval of a new mixed-use warehouse and office building on 0.74 acres in Palm Springs zoned CG (Commercial General), with new construction providing 9,316 SF of space consisting of two warehouse bays and associated office suites. A variance is being sought from the 30-foot setback requirement from residential land, with 20'2" being provided instead, which could affect development feasibility depending on the board's decision.
34-329 — Office/showroom and warehouse combination (Flex Space)
This case seeks a variance to reduce the south side setback from 30 feet to 20 feet 2 inches for a new flex space office/showroom/warehouse development on Lake Worth Road. The variance is justified by site-specific constraints including indirect access via 42nd Way and an existing warehouse building that limits layout options. Approval would facilitate modernization of an undeveloped site in a major commercial corridor while maintaining adequate separation and buffering for adjacent residential properties.
SPR26-066 — place of assembly (5,247 square feet)
A 5,247 square foot place of assembly use is proposed within a tenant bay in an existing Commercial General shopping center. This special exception use request may affect commercial real estate development plans in the area and set precedent for similar tenant uses in shopping centers within Palm Springs.
AP26-0021 — House of Worship (church)
A church seeking Special Exception approval to operate as a House of Worship in an existing commercial tenant space at 4210 Lake Worth Rd, with limited service hours (Thursday 7:30 PM, Sunday 5:00 PM) and capacity of 150 persons. The use is compatible with the surrounding commercial corridor, generates minimal traffic impact, and supports community redevelopment goals. This case would not typically impact commercial development plans in the area, though the precedent for religious institutional uses in CG zones may be relevant to commercial real estate strategies.
FL-0043 — Convenience store with fueling stations and electric vehicle charging stations
This site plan for a convenience store with fueling and EV charging stations is located at 1771 South Congress Avenue on a 2.6-acre Commercial General zoned parcel. The project proposes 8 new parking spaces and 8 EV charging stations (6 CCS, 2 NACS) while maintaining existing setbacks and landscape buffers. Net parking impact is minimal with a loss of one space, but the project adds critical EV infrastructure and modern fueling facilities to the area.
AP26-0015 — Public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations with elevated canopy structure
This case involves a variance request for a 15-foot south yard setback to allow minor encroachments (3-5 feet) from two canopy support columns for EV charging infrastructure at an existing commercial property. The developer argues that existing site constraints from the fixed parking lot geometry and established circulation patterns necessitate the setback reduction, which is limited solely to structural elements with no enclosed structures or parking within the setback. Approval would allow modern EV charging infrastructure to be added to the developed site while maintaining functional and aesthetic compatibility with existing fueling facilities.
99-075 — EV charging station canopy with reduced side setback
This variance request seeks to reduce the south side setback from 15 feet to 10 feet for an EV charging station canopy at an existing commercial gas station/convenience store property. The applicant argues that existing site constraints including parking geometry and circulation patterns necessitate this minor encroachment, with only two of five canopy columns encroaching approximately 3-5 feet into the setback. Staff recommends conditional approval citing consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and the public benefit of supporting EV infrastructure.
12-2026 — Recreational facility (tennis/racquet club with 14 courts) with ancillary restaurant and bar operating as a private membership club
This case involves approval of amendments to a previously approved recreational facility (Court Club tennis/racquet club) to clarify its operation as a private membership club and add an ancillary restaurant and bar. The applicant is requesting a waiver to allow alcohol sales within 500 feet of Palm Springs Middle School, which would normally be prohibited. Staff recommends conditional approval as the amendment does not change the approved site plan or intensify the use, and the facility will remain a private membership operation.
34-830 — Court Club with accessory restaurant and bar for membership club
This case involves a waiver to Section 34-830 (distance separation requirements for alcohol sales) to allow a private membership racquet/court club to operate an ancillary restaurant with a bar within the RM zoning district. The waiver is limited to the food and beverage component and does not alter the approved recreational use or introduce new intensive uses of the property. Staff recommends conditional approval as the request is consistent with the original facility approval and code intent.
25-026 — Special Residential Facility (Congregate Living Facility Type III with 128 beds), Medical & Professional Office, Retail
This is a site plan submission for a 128-bed special residential facility (congregate living facility) on 3.17 acres at 4020 Lake Worth Road, with ancillary medical offices and retail space. The project involves rezoning from Commercial General (CG) to Mixed-Use and includes landscape/site design details with structured parking requirements (102 total spaces with 20 handicap spaces) and building coverage limits of 50%. Developers should monitor this case if they have competing projects in the Palm Springs area or interests in healthcare/residential facility development along Lake Worth Road corridor.
00-0000 — Special Residential Facility (mental health care facility with 128 beds)
This site plan amendment and special exception use amendment seeks to expand an existing mental health residential facility from 88 to 128 beds within the current building footprint through interior modifications only. The project also includes concurrent amendments to the future land use and zoning designations from Commercial to Mixed-Use to comply with current village code. Staff recommends conditional approval, indicating this is a compatible intensification of an existing healthcare facility use on the site.
34-1102 — Increase in residential beds (behavioral health facility) from interior modifications
This is a request for a setback waiver and site plan amendments for an existing behavioral health facility (Banyan Palm Beach, formerly The Retreat) to accommodate 40 additional beds within existing building interiors. No new construction or exterior modifications are proposed, and all existing infrastructure remains unchanged. The development will increase local employment and expand mental health service capacity within the Palm Beach County area.
AP25-0094 — Special Residential Facility (SRF) with increased bed capacity from 65 to 88 beds
This case involves a Special Exception and Site Plan Amendment to expand an existing Special Residential Facility (inpatient treatment facility) from 65 to 88 beds without exterior modifications. The applicant also requests a rezoning to Mixed Use/MU and Future Land Use Map amendment to accommodate the increased bed capacity. The expansion is expected to generate minimal additional traffic, maintain compatibility with surrounding uses, and contribute positively to the Lake Worth Road redevelopment corridor.
34-1002 — Special exception use facility (increasing approved beds from 88 to 128)
This case involves an amendment to increase approved bed capacity from 88 to 128 units at an existing special exception use facility on Lake Worth Road. No exterior changes, square footage increases, or site plan modifications are proposed. The request affects operational capacity only and may be relevant if you're considering similar facility expansions in the area.
PTC25-052 — Expansion of rehabilitation facility from 65 beds to 128 beds
The Retreat rehabilitation facility seeks to expand from 65 beds to 128 beds, with full buildout projected for 2030. The expansion will generate only 8 net new peak hour trips, resulting in insignificant traffic impact and full compliance with Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards, requiring no traffic study.
25-0603 — Congregate Living Facility Type III - expansion of mental health residential treatment beds
This application seeks to amend the existing Planned Mixed-Use Development to increase the number of beds for a mental health residential treatment facility (CLF Type III) to meet increased demand, with 24/7 operations and 50 staff on the greatest shift. The facility will continue to treat primary mental health conditions and may treat co-occurring substance use disorders on a case-by-case basis, serving clients from Palm Beach County and Palm Springs. Surrounding properties are primarily commercial (CG zoning) with residential uses to the south.
34-606 — Recreation Use and Facility (private membership club with ancillary restaurant and bar)
This case involves a special exception request to operate a private membership recreation club with ancillary restaurant and bar components on a previously abandoned site along the Kirk Road corridor in an RM (Medium Density Residential) zone. The applicant also requests a variance from distance separation requirements for the restaurant and bar uses. The project is intended as a community-oriented recreational amenity that will support redevelopment goals while maintaining compatibility with surrounding residential character.
34-891 — Recreational facility (private membership tennis and racquet club) with ancillary restaurant and bar
This case seeks approval of a Special Exception Use modification and variance for the Court Club, a private membership tennis and racquet club with ancillary restaurant and bar on 5.07 acres at 1591 Kirk Road. The applicant is requesting a variance from distance separation requirements (500 feet from schools and 1,000 feet from residential uses) because the property is adjacent to Palm Springs Community Middle School and residential neighborhoods. The project was previously approved on March 18, 2025, and this application clarifies operational characteristics as a private membership club to facilitate liquor licensing.
AP25-0074 — Church/Assembly with gymnasium/court, thrift store, and auxiliary storage
This is a site plan application for a multi-use religious facility development on 5.4 acres in an established Commercial General zoning district. The project includes a church/assembly space, indoor athletic court, thrift store, and storage facilities with 145 parking spaces and substantial landscaping/tree preservation requirements.
34-828 — Auxiliary storage building for existing thrift store
The Salvation Army is proposing to construct an auxiliary storage building to address overflow storage needs for their existing thrift store operation on Lake Worth Road. The project includes site improvements such as enhanced landscaping, screening, and relocation of the donation drop-off point to reduce blight and improve the corridor's appearance. This infill redevelopment supports the Palm Springs Community Redevelopment Agency Plan goals of reinvestment and maintaining an established local business.
34-827 — storage/warehouse with parking and loading zone
This case involves approval of off-street parking and loading standards for a 4,420 SF warehouse building at the referenced address. The applicant is providing two parking spaces (one handicap-accessible) and a 12' x 40' loading zone, meeting the district's minimum requirements based on warehouse parking standards of 1 space per 2,000 SF. This is a design/site plan approval matter for parking compliance rather than a zoning change.
34-821 — Thrift store and donation center with proposed storage building
The Salvation Army thrift store and donation center in the CG district seeks approval for an internal storage building to support existing retail operations. The storage building is a site improvement that does not expand strip commercial development and improves property functionality and aesthetics. Retail sales and services, including the thrift store operation, are permitted uses in the CG district.
R-2015-23 — Mental health inpatient treatment facility (congregate living facility) with increased bed count of 88 beds
This is a site plan amendment to increase bed capacity at an existing inpatient treatment facility (Banyan Treatment Centers) from 65 to 88 beds through interior modifications to Building B, with a shift in care focus from substance use disorder to primary mental health services. No exterior changes, additional parking, or site layout modifications are proposed, and minimal traffic impact is anticipated. The expansion is consistent with existing zoning (CG - Commercial General), applicable regulations, and Village redevelopment objectives for the Lake Worth Road corridor.
13-2026 — Mental health care facility licensed by Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) with 88 residential beds
Application to amend site plan and special exception use for existing congregate living facility (CLF) to increase licensed beds from 65 to 88 and change clinical focus from substance use disorder treatment to mental health care. All modifications are interior-only within Building B with no changes to exterior appearance, footprint, or total square footage. The facility operates under existing approvals and will remain licensed by state health care agencies.
01-041 — Online pickup delivery (OPD) parking spaces
Walmart is requesting a parking variance to increase online pickup delivery (OPD) spaces from 6 to 15 at their store location, with 9 spaces exceeding the current code surplus limit. The variance seeks to accommodate growing customer demand for online ordering and contactless pickup services, particularly in anticipation of a planned store remodel in 2026.
AP25-0023 — Online pickup delivery (OPD) parking spaces
Walmart is requesting a parking variance to dedicate 15 total spaces for online pickup only, creating a deficit of 9 regular parking spaces at the Forest Hill Boulevard location. Staff observations showed the OPD queue averages 2-6 cars during most periods with only 3-5 minute wait times, and staff recommends denial, arguing the need is self-created and there is no demonstrated immediate need for additional OPD spaces. Approval could reduce regular customer parking availability at a shopping center where the lot frequently operates at or near capacity.
24-2025 — Walmart Neighborhood Market with drive-up pharmacy and conversion of parking spaces to online pickup-only use
Walmart is requesting a variance to convert 9 additional regular parking spaces into online pickup-only spaces (15 total) at their existing neighborhood market on Forest Hill Boulevard. Staff does not support the variance, finding the hardship is self-created, though 6 spaces were already administratively approved for conversion. Developers should monitor whether this variance affects parking requirements for similar retail uses in the CR district.
AP25-00023 — other
The applicant is requesting to convert nine (9) additional standard parking spaces into OPD (Online Pickup Delivery) spaces at a Walmart location. This proposal compounds an earlier modification that already converted six (6) standard spaces to OPD spaces, further reducing regular customer parking availability at a location where the parking area is often fully occupied. Staff does not support the request, finding it self-created and not meeting applicable criteria.
34-161 — other
This is an Urban Village Overlay ordinance establishing comprehensive design, land use, parking, and public realm standards for mixed-use development in Palm Springs. The standards regulate building form, ground floor activation, height limits (8 stories/110 feet), parking location, streetscape requirements, and permitted uses. Developers should review whether their projects fall within the designated overlay district, as these standards supersede underlying zoning and significantly impact site planning and design requirements.
34-1325 — pd_amendment
This case establishes the Urban Village Overlay as an optional regulatory framework for select Commercial Renewal properties in Palm Springs, providing unlimited density and intensity incentives for mixed-use development. The overlay implements performance-based standards for building form, pedestrian design, and special frontages (waterfront, civic, greenway) to guide redevelopment along commercial corridors. Developers should review this if they own or are considering Commercial Renewal-zoned properties, as it creates new incentives and design requirements for achieving mixed-use, walkable infill projects.
34-164 — other
This case requests a waiver from foundation planting requirements for three buildings (A, B, and C), eliminating required plantings totaling approximately 116 linear feet along north and west facades. The decision affects landscape design standards and may impact the applicant's project timeline and costs if approved.
34-878 — variance
This case seeks relief from Commercial Renewal zoning district standards, specifically requesting a minimum lot size of 2.01 acres instead of the required 3 acres and a 25-foot rear setback instead of the required 30 feet. Developers should monitor this case if they have properties in the Commercial Renewal district or are considering development there, as the outcome may affect future variance requests or zoning flexibility in that district.
34-1337 — other
The Village of Palm Springs is seeking to repeal Section 34-1337 of its Code of Ordinances regarding Electric Vehicle Charging stations to comply with Florida Statutes Section 366.94. This administrative update removes local restrictions on EV charging infrastructure, aligning municipal code with state law requirements. Developers should note this change if they have projects involving electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
24-174 — One single-family residence and three multifamily low-rise homes (4 dwelling units total)
This site plan proposes adding three multifamily low-rise units to an existing single-family residence on a 0.80-acre parcel in residential-zoned Palm Springs. The project includes drainage/stormwater management, landscaping buffers (some non-conforming and subject to variance approval), and parking, with traffic analysis showing compliance with county traffic performance standards generating only 20 net daily trips.
AF-530 — site_plan
This is a site plan amendment submittal for the Village of Palm Springs Operations Building, involving exterior design specifications for finishes, signage, and architectural details. The project includes impact-resistant storefronts and doors, aluminum elements, exterior wall coatings, and signage for a municipal operations facility, with minimal impact to surrounding residential areas due to existing landscape buffers.
A10-840 — site_plan
This is a site plan amendment for a utilities operations building at the main water treatment plant in Palm Springs. The project includes construction of a new operations building, parking lot, generator pad, and associated site improvements including drainage, grading, and lighting modifications at an existing water treatment facility.
34-855 — Water treatment plant operations building (governmental use)
This is a site plan amendment for a water treatment plant operations facility in the Government Land Development District, involving a new approximately 22,440 SF two-story operations building with associated parking, landscape modifications, and utility infrastructure. The project requires 72 parking spaces for government/warehouse facilities and includes new concrete walkways, fencing, and landscape improvements on the property.
P-3-7-1 — Institutional/Water Treatment Facility
This site plan submission proposes a new approximately 22,670 SF two-story tilt wall structure for an institutional/governmental water treatment facility on a 4.5-acre parcel currently zoned Government. The project includes parking modifications (47 total spaces with 26 new spaces), new dumpster enclosures, landscape work, and utilities expansion while maintaining the site's institutional use.
AP25-0027 — Fuel station with landscape island and light pole
This site plan amendment adds a new fuel station with landscape island and light pole to the northwest parking lot of the Village of Palm Springs Utilities Operations Building. The project includes updates to site lighting photometrics and appears to be a minor operational improvement to the existing municipal facility. Developers should note this represents an amendment to an approved site plan rather than a new development proposal.
SPR25-08 — Construction of three residential dwelling units in a one-story building alongside an existing single-family home
This minor site development plan seeks to construct three residential dwelling units in a single-story building on a Residential Multiple-Family property at 3715 Coconut Road alongside an existing single-family home. Developers should evaluate whether this infill residential project with multi-unit development on a constrained lot affects similar properties in their portfolios.
SPR25-07 — New Operations Building - 22,670 square feet within water treatment plant property
The Village of Palm Springs Utility Department seeks approval for a Site Development Plan Amendment to construct a new 22,670-square-foot operations building at its water treatment plant facility on Davis Road. This is an amendment to an existing site plan for a public utility facility rather than a commercial development.
SPR25-06 — Construction of 3 two-story townhomes (residential dwelling units)
Applicant proposes to demolish two existing residential structures and redevelop a 0.57-acre RM-zoned parcel with one two-story townhome building containing three residential dwelling units. The project is consistent with the Village's Comprehensive Plan, meets all Land Development Code requirements including parking and setback standards, and is compatible with surrounding low-density residential uses, subject to 32 conditions including utility, landscape, construction, and airport noise disclosure requirements.
AP24-0049 — 3-unit residential townhome development
This is a residential development proposal for a 3-unit townhome project that will generate school-age children, requiring a voluntary school capacity contribution of $18,011 to mitigate negative impacts on the Palm Springs Elementary and High School systems. Developers should note that school capacity is significantly over-utilized (-123 capacity at elementary; -157 at high school), and the School District has recommended conditional approval contingent on this additional contribution beyond standard impact fees.
24-0418 — 3-unit two-story townhomes
Joseph Frantz is seeking site plan approval for a 3-unit townhome development at 3635 Gulfstream Road on a 24,825 square-foot parcel. The proposal includes two-story residential units with associated parking, landscaping (17 trees), drainage, and utility infrastructure designed to comply with local site plan and landscape standards.
34-1328 — Three CBS apartments with associated parking and site improvements
This site plan application proposes construction of three CBS apartments with 13 parking spaces and parking lot lighting on a 34,897 square foot lot, resulting in 21% building lot coverage and 50% total impervious area. The project includes new driveway, parking facilities, and utility work (3 water meters) on an existing developed parcel.
34-692 — Construction of three residential dwelling units within one two-story townhome building
This case involves a minor site development plan to demolish two existing residential structures and construct one two-story townhome building containing three residential dwelling units on a 0.57-acre multifamily-zoned parcel. The project maintains the existing Residential Multiple-Family (RM) zoning and is consistent with the Village's comprehensive plan, making it unlikely to affect broader zoning in the area, though developers should note the ALUNZ airport noise overlay requirement and 32 conditional approvals.
34-796 — Commercial office building (2,850 square feet)
This is a Minor Site Development Plan approval for a 2,850-square-foot commercial office building on a 0.37-acre lot with four variance requests to reduce lot size, lot depth, rear yard setback, and dumpster enclosure requirements. Developers should note that the Board approved three variances conditionally (lot size, lot depth, rear setback) but denied the dumpster variance, instead requiring a unity of control agreement with the adjacent apartment property for shared dumpster access.
DROE-2013-00756 — Church (Place of Worship)
This is a traffic impact analysis for a proposed 3,144 SF church (Iglesia De Cristo Misionera) on Diamond Road. The development is projected to generate minimal traffic with less than 1% impact on surrounding roadways and meets Palm Beach County traffic performance standards. The project involves two site driveways off Diamond Lane with no required road improvements.
04-202 — Place of Worship
This case involves a request for a special exemption to allow a place of worship (Iglesia de Cristo Misionera) on a 2.07-acre residential site in Palm Springs. The proposed 3,144 sq ft worship center would convert existing single-family residential structures to church offices and support facilities. The applicant argues the use is compatible with surrounding mixed residential and commercial character, with impacts limited to one day per week (Sundays) and adequate stormwater management retained on-site.
34-744 — Place of Worship
This case involves a special exemption to construct a 3,144 SF place of worship (church sanctuary and offices) in a Residential Single Family district at 4340 Diamond Road. The facility will primarily operate on Sundays with limited weekday staffing, and traffic impacts are expected to be limited to one hour before and after Sunday services. The development includes retention areas, landscape buffers, and pedestrian amenities, and is expected to serve a growing church congregation in the area.
PTC21-085 — Retail center with drive-thru coffee shop and sit-down restaurant
This application involves a Site Development Plan Amendment and Special Exception Use to demolish an existing gas station and construct a 10,879-square-foot retail center with a drive-thru coffee shop and sit-down restaurant. The project includes requests for two variances: one to reduce parking from 68 to 57 spaces and another to reduce loading zones from two to one.
