The Future of Broadway is Here!
Broadway Mixed Use Development (BMUD)
The Broadway Corridor stretching from 24th Street to 59th Street is an area heavily blighted and in need of a revitalization. The West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency with the help of Dover Kohl & Partners are working to bring life into the corridor and make it a safe and walkable community. The overall goal of this project is to create a predictable urban corridor that adds vitality to the adjacent Northwood Business District, preserve the character of adjacent residential properties, and encourage historic preservation of significant structures, all while encouraging transit-oriented development and a livable environment.
A redevelopment authority is a government body which operates at the local level to improve districts, neighborhoods, and corridors that have been neglected or blighted. CRAs draft and implement plans for cities and towns in a way that leads to investments that everyone can feel good about because these actions will benefit the entire community. Codes are the land development regulations and zoning which provide instruction and requirements for the construction of new buildings, streets, and public spaces. By changing the code we make the community’s vision possible.
This code update project has involved the entire community in an initiative that will focus on helping the boulevard maximize its potential. We are working to update the local development regulations to focus on the form of streets, public spaces, and buildings as the framework for walkable, mixed-use places. Community meetings were held at Manatee Lagoon on September 20th, 2023 and February 7th, 2024 to gather community input and feedback to include in the plans.
We seek to lay the foundation for an urban corridor that adds vitality to the adjacent Northwood Business District. We will endeavor to preserve the character of adjacent residential properties, and encourage historic preservation of significant structures. We will encourage transit-oriented development with higher densities where appropriate. At the same time, we are working to ensure that this important part of West Palm Beach continues to be where its residents want it to be.
There will be many opportunities to interact with City staff, CRA staff, and the planning team throughout the process, including in-person at local events. You can find the team’s draft work on this website. The code project is expected to be completed by December 2024.
