Full Breakdown

The requirement lives inside the Planned Mobility Development regulations for the Midtown planned mobility subarea, which covers land zoned CG (commercial general) and designated Planned Mobility (PM) on the Future Land Use Map, east of the north-south Lake Worth Drainage District E-3 Canal. Section 28-937(h) establishes a three-tier hierarchy of street types (Type A, B and C) for that area, and subsection (h)(3) sets construction standards for any new or reconstructed street under city jurisdiction within it. Type A and Type B streets must carry on-street parallel or angled parking on both sides, and under Sec.

28-937(h)(3)d the city may require one of those on-street spaces per block to be designated for ridesharing pickup and drop-off; on Type C streets, if on-street parking exists at all, the city may impose the same one-space-per-block designation. 5-foot buffer on Type B and C streets, street blocks no longer than 660 feet on a side, and crosswalks spaced no more than 660 feet apart on Type A and B streets. These standards apply only through the PMD approval process administered by the planning and zoning board or city council under Sec.

28-937(d) and are not a citywide taxi/TNC curb rule; they attach to a specific development's site plan. Under Sec. 28-937(h)(3)i, construction of the required streets and improvements, including any designated rideshare space, must be completed by the PMD applicant and accepted by the city before a certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion is issued.

Violations & Fines

A PMD applicant who fails to construct a rideshare pickup/drop-off space the city has designated under Sec. 28-937(h)(3)d cannot obtain a certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion for the project, since Sec. 28-937(h)(3)i conditions those certificates on the city's acceptance of the required street improvements. The development services department and planning and zoning board enforce compliance through the site plan review and construction-acceptance process rather than through citations to individual drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this rule create rideshare zones citywide in Boca Raton?
No. It only applies inside the Midtown planned mobility subarea, land zoned CG and designated Planned Mobility on the Future Land Use Map east of the Lake Worth Drainage District E-3 Canal, and only when a Planned Mobility Development is approved there under Sec. 28-937.
Is the rideshare space mandatory on every PMD street?
The code says the city 'may require' it, making it discretionary rather than automatic. The city can impose the one-space-per-block designation on Type A and Type B streets, and on Type C streets only if on-street parking is otherwise included.
What happens if a PMD developer skips the required rideshare space?
Sec. 28-937(h)(3)i ties issuance of a certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion to the city's acceptance of all required street improvements, so an incomplete or missing designated space can hold up final approval of the project.
