Randall Olszewski was elected as the new chairman, and Mr. Good stepped up as the vice-chairperson. Their leadership is set to steer Palm Bay's development in exciting directions.

Key Decisions 🏗️

• V23-00001: The P (abbreviated for privacy) family sought a variance for their shed to encroach into the setback area. The board voted unanimously in favor, allowing the shed to stay put.

• CU 23-00017: Sunshine Petro Inc. proposed a gas station at Babcock Street SE and Valkaria Road. Despite some traffic concerns, the board approved the conditional use, paving the way for new development.

• FS23-00015: DRP FL 6, LLC's Riverwood at Everlands Phase 2, a 114-lot single-family residential subdivision, received the green light. This project promises to bring more housing options to Palm Bay.

Looking Ahead 🚀
