The Town Council unanimously denied this request during
a public hearing at its Feb. 21 Town Council meeting. Even if
there had been support by a majority of POA membership for
this request (which there was not), we would have remained
concerned about setting such a precedent. Jupiter remains a
uniquely special place to live for various reasons, one being
an abundance of open space/common use tracts scattered
throughout Jupiter neighborhoods.
Harbourside Settlement Agreement
Harbourside initiated a lawsuit against the Town and
Community Development Agency (CRA) in January 2016. This
case has been in the court system and mediated for the past seven
years. The Town Council worked earnestly and held a number of
attorney/client sessions from November 2022 through January
2023 in a concerted effort to resolve these matters.
A settlement agreement was unanimously approved by
the Town Council and authorized by the parties on Jan. 17.
Public hearings were conducted on Feb. 21 and March 9 to
amend the Harbourside Planned Unit Development Order
and Site Plan to incorporate settlement agreement items.
The final step is for a complete set of litigation settlement
documents to be submitted to the court to bring final closure
to all litigated matters. This final step was underway at the
mid-April copy deadline for this Seabreeze news report.
Harbourside agreed to limit sound emissions during all
future special events held at its amphitheater to fully comply
with Town requirements.
Harbourside also agreed to early termination of a lucrative
tax rebate deal that it secured from the CRA years ago. No
other property owners in Jupiter get tax rebates, so I had long
advocated for this to occur. The early termination is estimated
to reduce the total tax rebate payout to Harbourside by about
$3 million. This represents about a $50 future tax savings
for every Town resident.
In return, the Town granted approval for Harbourside to
utilize a limited number of public parking spaces to enable
a new restaurant to locate in existing building space that has
remained vacant since Harbourside first opened.
Harbourside appears ready and eager to rebrand itself to
the Jupiter community. Stay tuned.
