Every local government in Florida is required to have a Comprehensive Plan, which provides a road map for addressing issues such as sustainability, conservation, housing, traffic, land use, recreation, and other factors that influence the Zoning Code. The state requires a review and update of the plan every seven years to make sure it reflects current conditions, state mandates, and needs within the community.
This year, Palmetto Bay is updating its own Comprehensive Plan. As part of the process, the Village hosted an informational workshop on April 1 where residents brainstormed about possible changes and improvements to our roads, parks, schools, business districts, and other important focus areas. We got plenty of valuable input, but it’s not too late to share your ideas!
Our user-friendly Comprehensive Plan website allows residents to give specific feedback on land use and zoning planning. Open up the map and drop a pin to voice your ideas about conservation, housing, traffic, land use, density, and zoning. You can also drop a thumbs-up on the map to show things you like or leave comments on the Message Board about any subject, broad or focused.
This is your chance to add your voice to the conversation. Every opinion matters, so let us hear yours before the portal closes on June 2!
