Update, Nov. 5: The Nov. 10 Planning and Zoning packet for the 0.8-acre Island Way lot now lists the Town Council’s second reading as “TBD,” not Jan. 19, 2027. Staff says all of Beacon Park’s land-use and zoning second readings will be held together once the PUD and site plan catch up. The packet also names Pulte Home Company, LLC as the applicant for that lot. See our Nov. 10 Island Way preview. An earlier Nov. 3 update had put the 103-home PUD and site plan on Dec. 8 (P&Z), Jan. 19 and Feb. 16, 2027 (Council). This story has been updated.
JUPITER — A plan to build 103 single-family homes on about 58 acres between Jupiter Community Park and Indiantown Road is headed back to public hearings, according to notices the Town of Jupiter posted Monday, Oct. 26.
The project, called Beacon Park, would turn land the Town has long designated for industrial and bioscience use into neighborhoods. The property owner is listed as CROSSROADS 6101 LLC. The land is south of Jupiter Community Park, west of Limestone Creek Road, north of Indiantown Road and east of the Interstate 95 interchange.
What's being asked
According to the Town's notices, the request has two parts, split by Island Way:
East of Island Way (34.3 acres): change the future land use from General Industrial with a Bioscience Research Protection Overlay to Low Density Residential, and rezone the land from I-4 (industrial, high technology and employment center) to R1-A, the Town's compact single-family district.
West of Island Way (23.4 acres): change the land use from General Industrial with the bioscience overlay to Medium Density Residential, and rezone it from I-4 to R-3, limited multifamily.
A separate notice covers a large-scale planned unit development (PUD) application, with waivers, and a site plan for the 103-home development. The notices list case numbers PZ 25-6515, 6516, 6517 and 6518, PZ 26-6820, and PZ 25-6630.
Hearing dates
All of the hearings are at 7 p.m. in Town Council Chambers, 210 Military Trail, according to the Town's revised notices.
The 103-home PUD and site plan (PZ 26-6820 and PZ 25-6630):
Tuesday, Dec. 8: Local Planning Agency / Planning and Zoning Commission
Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2027: Town Council, first reading
Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2027: Town Council, second reading
Land-use and zoning change for 0.8 acre on the west side of Island Way next to the I-95 ramp (Medium Density Residential / R-3; owner listed as MIC Island Way LLC):
Tuesday, Nov. 10: Local Planning Agency / Planning and Zoning Commission
Tuesday, Dec. 15: Town Council, first reading
Town Council, second reading: TBD (the Nov. 10 packet no longer lists Jan. 19)
How we got here
This isn't the Council's first look at the land. According to Town Council minutes, on Jan. 20 the Council voted 5-0 on first reading to change the east side's land use to residential and to rezone it. Council members approved standard R-1 single-family zoning, though the applicant had asked for R1-A. On April 7, the Council voted 5-0 on first reading to change the west side's land use and zoning to Medium Density Residential and R-3. Second readings were left to be scheduled, and the applicant's representative said a PUD would be requested for both sides.
At the April meeting, Town staff said the plan then called for 99 homes, 12 of them workforce housing. The new notices say 103. The Town's Current Major Projects page still lists a "site plan application for 99 single family homes," under review. The Town hasn't explained the change, and the notices don't say why the map changes are listed for a first reading again.
The Palm Beach Post reported in April that Pulte is the builder. The Town’s Nov. 10 Planning and Zoning staff report for the Island Way remnant parcel now names Pulte Home Company, LLC as the applicant for that lot.
How to weigh in
The notices say questions can go to Joseph Dray at 561-741-2473 or Garret Watson at 561-741-2549 in the Town's Planning and Zoning Department. The Town says agendas and supporting documents are typically posted on its website about a week before each meeting, under Government, then Agendas & Minutes: https://www.jupiter.fl.us/ . The notices say titles may be revised before approval, so check the agenda to confirm the hearing dates.
