CLF Urgent Alert – August 2020

PBCE LANDOWNERS ASSOCIATION NEEDS YOUR HELP!

A for-profit addiction treatment organization owns multiple homes in Palm Beach Country Estates (PBCE) and has filed applications to increase them from a current occupancy of 5 per home to a high occupancy of 14 (plus staff).  We do not object to the ADA or the current use of the properties, but we strongly oppose zoning changes that would increase the capacity.

 

Last year, PBCE Landowner Association retained an attorney and urban planner to oppose these applications. Voluntary donations totaled approximately $22,000 and PBCELA committed $5,000 from its previous legal fund. Of the $27,000 in the CLF account, $15,000 was paid in retainer fees.  As of August 1, 2020 just over $17,000 has been spent on representation.  With hearings scheduled September 3 before the Zoning Commission and September 24 before the Board of County Commissioners, NOW is the time to replenish this fund. At this point, we anticipate that an additional $60,000 is needed from our neighbors. Whether or not you contributed previously, we are counting on your support this year. All amounts are welcome. If households contribute $100 we can easily reach this goal, but we need everyone to ACT NOW!

 

FINANCIAL DONATIONS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED!

We are solely dependent on financial support from the community. It is crucial, that as a neighborhood, we join together to raise the necessary funds to be properly represented by our expert professionals. Your contribution ($100 suggested amount) will ensure we are in the best position to protect our community. Please donate via PayPal or mail a check made  out to PBCE Landowners Association (put CLF in the memo section) and send to PO Box 30638, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420.

WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW! PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO SEND IN YOUR DONATIONS!

It can not be stressed strongly enough how important it is that we all come together now to step up and do our part to protect the well-being of our neighborhood!

 

WHY SHOULD WE CARE?

If high capacity zoning requests are approved, these facilities will alter the character and quality of our single family residential neighborhood here in PBCE.
