A Palm Beach County landowner, Paul Okean, has been given more time to revise a proposal for warehouses, a fitness center, manufacturing and processing space, and warehouses in the Agricultural Reserve. The project involves two parcels, Park West North and Park West South, proposed for roughly 51 acres at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Florida’s Turnpike, east of Starkey Road. The former nurseryman, Ookean, is confident in his plan, but he wants to meet with his neighbors and create a project for which everyone is content. He also plans to increase the fitness center space planned for Park West N. and South, which he believes should be increased to up to 100% of fitness center use within a commerce development. This comes as part of a broader discussion about the growing demand for services in the Ag Reserve. County commissioners have expressed interest in allowing more fitness center spaces within the county's commerce land-use designation, which was adopted in 2022 and allows for light industrial activity in the area.
