I can see your point; however, I see this more as an anti-conservative move. I think many of the churches being built and expanded are Christian and evangelical whose pews are filled with politically conservative people.

It could be. After all, Palm Beach Co is indeed a hotbed of liberalism. It also could be that the are is heavily Jewish, and evangelical, fundamentalist and charismatic churches are equally as unwanted in that light.
However, I'd make the same restrictions on new synagognes and mosques. As I pointed out (all of those were true stories) churches have abused the First Amendment protections and been oblivious to neighbor's concerns.
I suspect that this has been occasioned by the success of
Christ Fellowship where a former football coach has built an ever expanding church. Isn't the issue of Sunday traffic bogus? Who else is out on Sunday morning?
