2025 Downtown Master Plan (DMP) Survey by West Palm Beach Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA)

The future of Downtown West Palm Beach is being decided — and residents, property owners and visitors like you deserve a seat at the table. The City of West Palm Beach is currently considering revisions to the Downtown Master Plan (DMP) — a legally adopted blueprint that guides downtown development as part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The DMP sets the rules for building heights, land use, design, and infrastructure to ensure a vibrant, walkable, and architecturally cohesive downtown.

As the City explores potential changes to the DMP, the Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA) is gathering input from people who live, work, and spend time here. The preliminary results of this survey will be shared with the City’s consultant on April 30th, as well as the steering committee and City officials. Take 5 minutes to fill out this important community survey by May 15th, 2025.

NOTE:  This survey is different than the one you might have received from the DDA.  We encourage you to complete both surveys.

The more responses we gather, the louder our voice. Please share this with friends, neighbors, and fellow residents — every opinion counts.


Background & Next Steps:

It has come to the attention of the Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA) that the City has hired a consultant, Zyscovichand a steering committee was formed to revise the current Downtown Master Plan.  Click Here to review the current WPB DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN ELEMENT GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES. It was updated as of April 25, 2024.  The steering committee, which does not include any representative from the DNA, has already met once and will have 2 more "Visioning Discussions" on April 30th and again on May 22nd from 5 - 7 PM in the Flagler Gallery at City Hall.  All meetings are open to the public.

If you’d like to share your thoughts directly with City leadership, you’re welcome to reach out to the Mayor or Commissioners individually (due to Florida’s Sunshine Laws, group emails should be avoided for matters that may come to a vote).
