Downtown Vacant Lot Development

The Jupiter Town Council, at their April 1, 2025 meeting presented policy guidance to the Town's Planning & Zoning staff, whereby they were directed not to entertain any applications for development in Abacoa that was not within the established entitlements and that increasing the density entitlement was not supported. At the April 15th Town Council meeting, the minutes of the previous meeting, which included policy guidance, was unanimously approved.

The developer has withdrawn their application from consideration at this time. They may accept the current status and propose a development within the acceptable scope. The Concerned Citizens of Abacoa was never opposed to a development under the current density entitlements.

While this appears to be a successful result of our opposition to the proposal that sought to increase the density, we must remain vigilant. This issue will not be completely resolved until the property is developed within the scope of the current density entitlements.

In the meantime, several things could occur. The current property owner/developer may opt to wait until there is a change in Town Council, to members that may be influenced by developers and less by community members. The property may be sold or optioned to another developer, who may take a run at increasing density with a new council.

Other Matters Affecting Abacoa Residents

From time to time, the Concerned Citizens of Abacoa (CCA) will bring important issues to your attention on this website or our Facebook page. Please feel free to participate and engage with our community on matters that are important to all of us.

E-Bike Safety

The CCA is working cooperatively with the Town of Jupiter and the Jupiter Police Department to increase awareness of the the potential dangers to youthful e-bike riders who fail to follow the rules of the road, state laws, and municipal ordinances. Check back here in the near future or follow the CCA on Facebook for mor information.

Irrigation Quality (IQ) water use in Abacoa

More recently, the CCA has been discussing the increasing costs of landscape irrigation maintenance and repairs in most of our Abacoa communities.

Why are hoa dues rising in abacoa communities?

Many Abacoa communities are seeing significant increases in HOA dues, and a major driver is irrigation costs. Our POA also had to increase our dues this year, largely due to increased irrigation costs across the board. The culprit: mollusks and algae.

Abacoa is the largest user of reclaimed IQ water and one of the only neighborhoods completely reliant on reclaimed water for irrigation purposes in all of Jupiter/Tequesta.

Reclaimed water can be great way to preserve our natural water and drinking water resources in a cost effective manner— as it has nutrients that reduce our need for fertilization, which can be harmful to the environment. But due to some policy changes, there’s been a reduction of chemical treatments to the irrigation water, which has resulted in creating a favorable environment for mollusks and algae to thrive.

Mollusks and algae are growing inside our irrigation lines, creating sludge and blockages that damage pipes, heads, and pumps. This leads to constant flushing, repairs, and system replacements — costs that ultimately fall on homeowners.

The problem worsens during low water levels and irrigation shutoffs, when sediment is further pulled into the system and organisms have time to grow and clog the lines. Some communities have resorted to installing main line filters at a significant expense in an effort to prevent blockages further down the lines and damage to the sprinkler heads.

There is more we can do as a community to correct this. Please check back here and/or follow us on Facebook for more information.

Mollusks and Snails in our irrigation water system

Mollusks and snails thrive in Irrigation Quality (IQ) water—often treated wastewater or reclaimed water used for agricultural irrigation—because it provides a nutrient-rich, constantly moist environment that supports rapid growth, ample food supplies, and necessary shell-building materials.

IQ water provides a "buffet" of algae and a calcium-rich habitat that supports rapid breeding and growth, often leading to large populations of snails in agricultural, landscaping, and water-treatment infrastructure.
