The residents of the Agricultural Reserve are tired of the exponential growth in traffic and enjoy their quality of life. They don’t want anything that will drastically increase traffic, especially on roads that are already congested, or anything that will significantly decrease the quality of life in the Agricultural Reserve and reduce their home values. These residents believe that the Board of County Commissioners took an improper vote that did not consider the impact on the community. The residents demand to be heard and expect their elected officials to follow the will of the people.

The final school plan shows future cross-access to the worship parcel on the west and gated emergency connections to the west and south. It does not establish that all agreements are executed or routes are open. No school entrance or parking is shown on fourth parcel 0180 across 152nd Place South.

The school property owner must pay for:

• Construction of turn lanes and reconstruction of part of 152nd Place South.
• An eight-foot sidewalk.

These are required before the first occupancy approval. The owner must also provide financial security for a traffic signal; installation depends on county engineers finding it necessary. Completion has not been confirmed.

The county access review allowed a 55-foot legal-access arrangement with 11-foot lanes and discussed possible additional north-side right-of-way if those properties develop. This conditional planning does not establish a completed conveyance or an approved school or worship expansion onto fourth parcel 0180.

• The records reviewed do not establish whether a minaret, outdoor speakers or an amplified call to prayer are planned. Operating hours and project-specific restrictions still need confirmation.
• County rules restrict excessive amplified sound at neighboring residential property lines.
• School conditions require 20-foot landscaped buffers and six-foot walls along the east and south sides.

No construction schedule or opening date has been verified. The worship project’s commencement-of-development deadline was extended to June 21, 2030. This applies only to the worship case and is not an opening date. The school has a separate approval and permit process.

Palm Beach County adopted Ordinance 2023-020 on May 25, 2023. It took effect on May 30, two weeks before the school’s June 13 public-hearing notice.

The relevant changes were:

How notices were mailed

Previously: Certified mail to property owners within 300 feet, and regular mail to those 301–500 feet away.

New ordinance: First-class mail with the ability to confirm delivery.

Which nearby properties affected the notification boundary

Previously: The rule already extended notification beyond adjoining land owned by the applicant or a related entity. For this area, an exception applied when that adjoining parcel’s outer boundary was more than 1,000 feet from the application site.

New ordinance: The rule includes qualifying land within 500 feet owned by the applicant or a “partner in interest.” It removes the previous adjoining-parcel wording and distance-cap exception.

Notification distance for this location

Previously: 500 feet in the Agricultural Reserve.

New ordinance: Still 500 feet. Including qualifying nearby land changes where the 500 feet is measured from, which can bring additional neighboring property owners into the notification area.

The 2023 ordinance retained a 500-foot notification distance for this Agricultural Reserve location. It also requires the notification boundary to extend from qualifying nearby parcels owned by the applicant or a partner in interest.
