Commissioners voted 3-2 to rezone a property along Southeast Powerline Avenue to limited-industrial, a less intensive class than the general industrial designation first proposed. The county said the existing zoning was outdated and that no data center is planned. Any proposal over 100,000 square feet would need board approval.
Why it matters Limited-industrial zoning could add light industrial space and local jobs in Hobe Sound while capping the scale of future uses. The project is about 11 miles southeast of Sunset Trace At Martin Downs Aka Martin Downs Pla, elsewhere in Martin County.
