Palm Beach board rejects zoning requests for Wells Fargo redevelopment

A plan to redevelop a portion of a key Midtown Palm Beach property has faced pushback from the Town Council at a recent meeting and from residents wary of the potential for overdevelopment in an already-busy area. And a recent recommended denial from the town's zoning board has prompted the developer to regroup. The project proposed building seven residential duplexes on what is now an expansive parking lot that is part of the Wells Fargo site on the northeast corner of South County Road and Royal Palm Way. Most of the development would be limited to the parking lot, which sits behind the block-long stretch of mostly landmarked buildings along the east side of South County Road, stretching from Royal Palm Way to Seaview Avenue. Palm Beach resident John Kean and his Kean Development Co. presented the plans to the Planning and Zoning Commission Nov. 3. The proposal called for the town to change the "future land use" regulations and zoning for roughly half of the 5.76-acre property. The project would be named "The East Plaza," the original moniker for the property when it was first planned in 1936, town records show. Zoning commissioners declined to endorse those changes to

Amendment 3 may have major impact on businesses in Palm Beach County

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — Voters in Florida spoke loudly about Amendment 3 on Election Day - with 62% voting for it to pass. The homestead exemption for non-school property taxes will increase from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027, then to $250,000 in 2028. So Amendment 3 gives qualifying homeowners a bigger tax break, but it could also mean less property-tax revenue for cities and counties.

Florida residents trapped by gators and snakes in floodwaters: ‘It’s like an apocalyptic-type event’

Floridians experienced an ‘apocalyptic-type event’ caused by heavy rains that left high floodwaters Getty Residents of a Florida community have been trapped in their homes for days by a historic rainstorm that left floodwaters high enough for fish, venomous snakes and alligators to swim right up to homes. Floridians in West Palm Beach’s Riverwalk community have been trapped in their homes, surrounded by nearly 10 inches of floodwater, after what was described as a one-in-1,000-year rain event dumped heavy showers across the region earlier this week. “It’s like an apocalyptic-type event,” resident Don Gentile told WPTV. Some parts of Palm Beach County were left with two to three feet of floodwater earlier this week after days of heavy rain. Roads were closed, and several polling locations were forced to relocate on Election Day Tuesday due to the flooding, according to 12 News. Other residents of the Riverwalk community said the flooding was unlike anything they’d ever seen before, as every street in the gated community had significant levels of flooding.

Palm Beach County on track to break $30 million-plus home sales record

One of the latest big-ticket home sales in Palm Beach County is a $35 million dollar mansion in Jupiter's Admiral Cove . The home in the exclusive gated community along the Intracoastal Waterway reportedly has a 22-car garage, unusual perhaps, but its upper 10-figure sales price isn't exactly a rarity this year across Palm Beach County. According to a report issued by the South Florida Realtors association , Palm Beach County is on track to shatter its record for $30 million-plus home sales. As of September 2026, the county had already recorded 21 sales in that price range — a number that ties the existing record for a year. The pace this year, with two months left, has the county on track for 28 sales of $30 million-plus mansions to be recorded by the end of December. The dollar numbers are staggering but not surprising. A migration of high-end people, and their wealth, to Palm Beach County in the past decade, and especially since the COVID pandemic, has injected billions of dollars more worth of reality to the "Wall Street South" brand. Hedge funds and corporate offices have filled office towers, while a slew of other enterprises, including healthcare providers,

‘Impassable' flooding from pounding rain is swamping South Florida suburbs

Heavy rain this week has turned parts of Broward County into a watery maze, swallowing roadways, stranding cars in flooded parking lots and sending water into homes and buildings as people waded through deep floodwaters. Over the past four days the highest rainfall totaled about 13 to 15 inches between Weston and Sunrise, George Rizzuto, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, said Wednesday. But there’s good news coming: The rain will taper off Wednesday afternoon, and drier air and sunny skies are moving in Thursday through the weekend, he said. Other parts of Florida, including Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, have been hit with 15 to 20 inches of rain that has flooded roads and submerged cars. The torrent neared the state’s single-day rainfall record, according to ABC News. According to the Florida Today news site on the Space Coast, National Weather Service officials described the flooding as a “one-in-1,000-year event .” Brevard County sheriff’s deputies helped more than 100 people caught in rising waters while driving to work or running errands, according to the news outlet.

Boca Raton Adds Speed Cameras to Three More School Zones Nov. 9

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Speed cameras are coming to three more Boca Raton school zones starting Nov. 9, serving Calusa Elementary School, Blue Lake Elementary School and Omni Middle School/Spanish River High School. That brings the city’s total to six. Each zone gets a 30-day warning period when its cameras are first activated. After that, driving 11 mph or more over the posted speed limit while the lights are flashing means a $100 civil penalty, though citations won’t put points on a license or affect auto insurance rates. Cameras capture violations only when the school zone lights are flashing. At Calusa Elementary, 2051 Clint Moore Road, that’s 7:05 to 8:05 a.m. and 2 to 2:35 p.m. Blue Lake Elementary, at Military Trail and Potomac Road, runs 7:20 to 8:05 a.m. and 2 to 2:35 p.m. The Omni/Spanish River zone, at Jog Road and Yamato Road, has the longest hours: 7 to 9:35 a.m. and 2:45 to 4:35 p.m. The city runs the School Zone Safety Program with RedSpeed and says the cameras help deter speeding and improve safety for drivers, bikers and pedestrians. The program was already in place in the Addison Mizner
