Palmetto Bay planners weigh banning data centers village-wide and updating flood maps

The Village of Palmetto Bay's Local Planning Agency meets on 2026-09-28 to hold public hearings and make recommendations to the Village Council.

The agency only recommends; the Village Council makes the final decision. The rest of the agenda is procedural — roll call, public comment, and council comments.
