Comments:

Developers have expressed interested in using the new Boca II Tri-Rail station at Glades Rd to justify allowing higher densities, and Downtown Boca Raton may be approaching the limits of converting office to residential uses.

The City of Boca Raton's planning staff are working on new land development regulations for the Boca II Tri-Rail station area, which will use higher densities as incentives for multimodal improvements to increase Tri-Rail ridership.
