Boca Raton’s City Redevelopment Agency and City Council will take up several major development projects and contracts at meetings beginning at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13. The sessions are open to the public at the 6500 Building and can be watched online.

The CRA will consider approval for The Sanborn, a proposed eight-story private club with 54,681 square feet at 100 Northeast 1st Avenue. The plan includes an underground valet parking structure with two levels and about 11,200 square feet. It also calls for shifting development rights from Downtown Subarea D to Subarea B and converting some office space to retail.

The council will revisit plans for an 11.68-acre property at 1150 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway, which would allow warehouse, showroom and wholesale uses. It will also consider an eight-story, 97-unit apartment building at 1075 and 1095 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway, including 10 affordable units.

On the spending side, council members will weigh $345,000 for Fire Rescue stretchers and power cots, $275,000 for citywide furniture and $230,000 for office supplies. Other items include road and sidewalk construction contracts, engineering work for two new raw water wells, and a new aerial ladder truck for Fire Rescue. A labor agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 35 covers the 2026-27 fiscal year.

The council also will set the regular city election for March 9, 2027, and consider raising the City Manager’s settlement authority from $50,000 to $100,000. Proposed ordinances would remove a ban on feeding certain nuisance animals, amend the Downtown Plan for CRA-owned property including Mizner Park, authorize a franchise for construction and demolition debris collection, and repeal the city’s vehicles-for-hire chapter.
