"West Palm Beach commissioners have delayed the final vote on a proposal to bring a new 25-story high-rise condominium to the downtown waterfront.Developers wrote a letter to the city Sept. 19, requesting more time to revise plans for the future of the Chapel by the Lake site based on feedback from city commissioners at a public meeting last month.The vote centers on the decision by the First Baptist Church to sell a piece of land along Flagler Drive to a Chicago-based developer for $23 million.Church officials said the money would help pay off debt and fund renovations at its downtown West Palm Beach campus.In order for the deal to go through, city commissioners would have to rezone the land residential.A city spokesman said the project would pump money into the city to help pay for services.\"The only way that those dollars come into the city is through growth and development,\" Elliot Cohen told WPBF 25 News. \"Now, that doesn't mean unchecked, out-of-control growth and development, but nevertheless it means growth and development.\"Opponents of the project have said the condominium will destroy the downtown waterfront and obstruct views from other high-rises in the city.The final vote is now scheduled for Oct. 15."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
