Register our negative position on proposed rezoning of 10401/10431 Prosperity Farms Road
Final supporters
The Village of North Palm Beach is unique because of its focus on families, homes, and community. And the Prosperity Farms Rd corridor is no exception with only homes, schools, and churches stretching from Burns Rd to south of Lighthouse. This proposed change would create the first commercial space amongst mostly single-family residences.
This change will have many deleterious effects including increase in traffic congestion, issues with ingress and egress from a commercial facility onto a 2-lane street, increase danger to the school children coming and going from Allamanda Elementary School, removal of state-protected Gopher Tortoise burrows from their habitat and adjacent nature preserve, etc. In addition, there is the additional concern of the home owners to the effect that a commercial ALF 56-bed facility will have to our residential property values.
As home owners and the neighbors who would most be affected by any change in zoning to the 10401 and 10431 Prosperity Farms Rd lots, we request that the Village of North Palm Beach Planning Commission and the Village Council reject any proposal to rezone the 10401 and 10431 Prosperity Farms Rd lots from Low-Density Residential (R1) to Commercial (C1-A).

No to rezoning Prosperity Farms Rd. for the following reasons: 1) Too much traffic in that area 2) Negative impact on residential area 3) Need to protect habitat for Nature Preserve area 4) Noise from fire rescue that will be frequently there 5) Area not large enough to support necessary building and parking that will be needed. 6) School and bus traffic already difficult in morning and afternoon.
One additional concern would be overflow parking. Can you imagine employees and visitors parking on the street in Pepperwood and Allamanda Drive.
This type of property should be on US #1 where it is already zoned for commercial usage. Too much traffic on Prosperity Farms Road already. We do not need this parcel to be rezoned.
I have a sincere place in my heart for assisted living facilities, but this is not the location for one. It is too close to Allamanda Elementary, damages the aesthetics of the area, and interferes with the nature/wildlife preserve.
The area of Allamanda Drive and Prosperity Farms Road already is impassable during school hours due to high traffic. This would add unacceptable congestion. Plus, a vote for placing a largely memory care facility next to an elementary school and so close to a hazardous canal would be equivalent to a vote of incompetence on the part of town officials.
No on rezoning Prosperity Farms Road. Keep as residential
NPB is a wonderful place to live and raise our families. Our village is the result of some of the finest community planning by our local leaders. We already have a great balance of both residential and commercially zoned areas. It would be a mistake to consider this proposed change of our residential character. All of the home owners and tax payers bought our homes here because of this excellent balance. We love our community just the way it is and we do not want our residential areas changed to commercial zoning for the financial benefit of few. This property is residential and it needs to stay residential. We need our Leaders to stand strong and support our residential way of life. No to rezoning!

The traffic in this area is already terrible when school is in session. During this time there is a serious safety issue regarding the ability of emergency vehicles to gain access to Siena Oaks. The area is clearly residential and there is no justification in the analysis the board is to apply to allow the proposed zoning change.
