Boca residents win land-use dispute judgment

Posted by Deborah Hartz-Seeley on October 31, 2012 at 13:30

 

 The 15th Circuit Court last month ruled that a citizens group opposed to the Boca Raton City Council’s approval of Archstone, a 378-apartment complex planned for Palmetto Park Road, can put the development on the ballot.

A closed-door City Council meeting was scheduled for Oct. 31 so that the city could discuss whether to appeal the ruling.

Earlier this year, residents who organized the lawsuit collected 1,100 signatures asking for a referendum, which the council refused.
