Our Beach and Parks are NOT FOR SALE — No Hotels. No High-Rises. No Charter Change.

Lake Worth Beach Commission

Picture of proposed development plan along the Intracoastal Waterway in Lake Worth Beach

UPDATE: This issue will be discussed by the City Commission on October 6 at 6pm. Be there!


The LWB City Commission is paving the way for a massive hotel takeover of our public beach and golf course. For seven months, they’ve let the developer’s lobbyist influence public opinion while city staff quietly rewrites the rules that protect our public access. They’re trying to dismantle decades of public protections and hand over our beach and parks to private developers.

To push these unsupported developments forward they must remove laws from our City Charter that limit private use of the public beach and restrict building heights. These laws, called Charter Amendments, were passed by voters specifically to protect our public assets from this type of private development. Under the current laws you would get a vote on this scale of development. They want to remove that right.

Mayor Resch and Commissioners May, Segrich, and Malega are calling for a March 2026 special election for these Charter changes that would take away your right to help protect our beloved public beach, parks, and shoreline.

Tell your Commissioners and the Mayor to leave the Charter alone! Let them know you want to keep the existing protections for our beach and public shorelines.

Note: Details on the developer's plan can be found here.

I want the City elected officials to protect our beach and intracoastal shorelines from aggressive development that puts our quality of life and the city's identity at risk.

The H.O.R.I.Z.O.N. proposal for a hotel on our beach and massive development at the public golf course is out of scale and should be fully rejected.

The Mayor has said that the current charter laws that limit development at our beach and golf course are too restrictive. These laws PROTECT our public waterfront from private development. They are a good thing! Residents of LWB do not want hotels, convention centers, increased traffic and parking garages at our public beach.

I do not support the proposed Charter changes that will remove the existing protections for our beach and public lands including the golf course.

I ask the Commission to stop their efforts to put Charter changes on the ballot that would overturn the lease limits at the public beach that protect our beach from private development and the height limits that protect us from shoreline high rises.

If you want public input on proposed developments, why don’t you host public meetings to discuss the specific development proposals?

Doing an end run to change the laws that will then allow massive developments is not in the best interest of our city.
