Greenacres Council Eyes 8.91-Acre Annexation, FY2027 Budget; Code Hearings Address Three Properties
Greenacres residents have several items to track this week, headlined by a City Council meeting today (Aug. 3) that could advance the annexation and rezoning of 8.91 acres on South Military Trail for high-density residential use.
South Military Trail Annexation Returns to Council
The City Council scheduled public hearings today on three ordinances concerning two parcels totaling 8.91 acres at 5163 and 5217 South Military Trail. The items include annexation into the city, a Future Land Use Map change to Residential High Density (RS-HD), and a rezoning from Agricultural Residential (AR) to Residential High (RH).
The same annexation and rezoning appeared on the July 20 council agenda for first reading, but minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes are not yet confirmed in the public record. The Aug. 3 agenda also includes a first amendment to an IT Services Interlocal Agreement with Palm Beach County for additional telephone lines and a budget amendment for FY 2025-2026.
FY2027 Budget and Millage Rate Review
A special council meeting on July 20 focused on the Fiscal Year 2027 Preliminary Budget, presented by City Manager Andrea McCue, and the setting of the tentative millage rate for 2027. Public comments were accepted before and after the regular agenda items. No other substantive business was listed. Minutes are not yet published, so the tentative millage rate set by council is not yet reflected in available records.
July 20 Consent and Regular Items
The July 20 council agenda listed several consent items, including Resolution 2026-29 imposing the residential solid waste assessment rate for FY 2027-2028, authorization to purchase a Youth Programs playground from Playmore West, Inc. for $710,690.46, and a Community Development Block Grant septic-to-sewer project. Regular agenda items included a facility license agreement with Junior Achievement of the Palm Beaches & Treasure Coast and a land purchase. Because minutes are not yet published, it is not possible to confirm which items were approved.
Special Magistrate Hears Three Code Cases
On July 21, the Special Magistrate heard three new code enforcement cases:
- **CC-26-80:** Florida Power & Light Co. at 3336 Jog Rd — landscaping and uncontrolled vegetation violation.
- **CC-26-90:** Four Sons Plaza 2 LLC at 4602 S Jog Rd — failure to obtain a live entertainment permit, business tax receipt, and tobacco license.
- **CC-26-107:** Nohely Garcia at 2202 Soundings Ct — unpermitted work, missing inspections, and vegetation removal without permits.
All three cases were listed as new business. The agenda does not record decisions; the hearing was scheduled to determine compliance actions. Minutes are not yet published.
Coming Up
- **City Council — Monday, Aug. 3 (today):** Public hearings on annexation, land use, and rezoning of 8.91 acres at 5163 and 5217 South Military Trail, plus an IT services agreement amendment and a FY 2025-2026 budget amendment. Residents affected by the annexation or interested in the budget amendment may want to attend.
No other meetings are listed in the next 14 days. Watch for published minutes from the July 20 and July 21 meetings to confirm outcomes of the budget, millage rate, consent items, and code enforcement cases.
