- Resolution 68, 2020 – The subject request is to allow the Alton Town Center within the Alton Planned Community Development (PCD) to have a total of 41 special events per calendar year of 2021 , 2022, and 2023. The maximum number of events permitted by the City of Palm Beach Gardens Code Section 78-187 for commercial/office plazas with 11 tenants or more is 12 special events per calendar year. This request is effectively increasing the number of special events per calendar year by 29, for a possible total of 41 special events yearly. The proposed allowance does not imply that 41 events are guaranteed take place per year, but rather intends to give the Applicant the ability to hold up to 41 events in a year if desired. This request does not serve to approve any specific special event and does not waive the required permit and subsequent review for each special event. Staff supports the Applicant’s request for additional special events to be held within the Alton Town Center for the years 2021 , 2022, and 2023.
