Cotleur & Hearing, Inc. was retained by Anna Cottrell & Associates and Palm Beach County Facilities to assist in securing the zoning entitlements to amend the North County Governmental PCD and to obtain site plan approval for the proposed North County Regional Library expansion. Cotleur & Hearing’s staff worked closely with the City of Palm Beach Gardens’ representatives to expedite the development approval process. The proposed development plan resulted in the creation of an additional future building site by relocating the previously approved upland preserve area to a contiguous location which is west of the City of Palm Beach Gardens’ Mall linkage road. Additionally, Cotleur & Hearing was responsible for developing a Preserve Area Management Plan to support the relocation of the upland preserve and to provide habitat for the existing population of gopher tortoises that occupy the undeveloped portions of the PCD.
