Palm Beach County approved nearly 700,000 square feet of Project Tango data-center space
A county zoning record shows an Oct. 7 administrative approval for data-center plans at Central Park Commerce Center. It is separate from the commission’s July denial of a larger expansion, while another site proposal remains pending.
Key Takeaways
- •Palm Beach County’s zoning records list DRO-2026-00966 as approved Oct. 7.
- •The approval is separate from the commission’s July denial of a different, larger Project Tango request.
- •A separate warehouse-related application for the site remains under county review.
Palm Beach County zoning staff approved a Project Tango site-plan update on Oct. 7, allowing nearly 700,000 square feet of data-center space at the Central Park Commerce Center, according to the county’s zoning record and a report by WPTV. The action is separate from the Board of County Commissioners’ July decision to deny a different expansion request.
The distinction matters because the two decisions cover separate applications and review paths. The county’s Project Tango page lists DRO-2026-00966 as approved Oct. 7. It separately records the commission’s July 15 denial of application DOA/ZV-2025-01602. The later administrative approval does not reverse that vote.
WPTV reported that the Oct. 7 approval covers roughly 698,000 square feet of data-center floor area, along with 54,000 square feet of office space. The figures describe the approved plan’s components, not a statement that all of the space is built or operating. The zoning page identifies the project site as about 202.67 acres and lists a broader master-plan total that also includes warehouse and other space.
The approval includes conditions related to sound and water use, WPTV reported after reviewing county records. Those conditions include noise limits and monitoring requirements, as well as a site water-use ceiling. The county’s approval letter is linked from its zoning page; the public tracker identifies the decision and its status.
A separate proposal remains unresolved. The county page lists DRO-2026-01058, which concerns abandoning warehouse space and revising the site plan, as pending. That application is not part of the Oct. 7 approval, and its pending status does not establish that county officials will approve it.
The zoning record gives residents and businesses a way to track the separate decisions without treating them as one vote. The July denial addressed a larger request before county commissioners; the October action was a zoning staff approval tied to DRO-2026-00966. Any further site changes would depend on the review of the applications still listed as pending.
The county’s Project Tango page includes the application records and the Oct. 7 approval letter. WPTV’s report provides additional detail on the approved building areas and operating conditions.
