EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Village of Tequesta is considering the possibility of constructing a new Community Center building. The
current 6,837-sq. ft. Recreation Center located at 399 Seabrook Road was built in 1963.
The purpose of this Master Plan document is as follows:
-Evaluate the need for a new Community Center building based on (1) demographics and socio-
economic data, (2) programming and building deficiencies; (3) surveys and community meetings, (4) the
Village’s comprehensive plan and (5) existing inventory in terms of recreation programs and open space;
-provide background information regarding the process up to now; and-present the current conceptual design plans.
The Master Plan document is organized in the following three (3) chapters:
A.Existing Conditions and Needs Analysis
B. Community InputC..Process and Conceptual Design
Chapter A-Existing Conditions and Needs Analysis-evaluates demographics and socio-economic
indicators as part of a needs assessment study. This section includes information about population,
household type, age, race, ethnicity, employment, income level and housing for residents in Village of Tequesta. Chapter A also presents existing conditions and deficiencies of the Recreation Center building.
The demographic and socio-economic information is presented in numerous tables based on the U.S. Census
data and highlights the following trends in the Village:
- The population projection (permanent and seasonal population) will surpass 7,000 people by the year2035 (Table 1B).
- The number of families with children under 18 years old continues to increase (Table 2).
- The number of children under 5 years old increased from 1.9% to 4.4% (Table 3).
- The number of residents 45 years and older accounts for 58.9% of the total population (Table 3).
- The Village’s residents have a high education level: a total of 70.6% of the population have collegedegrees or some years of college attendance (Table 6).
- In terms of income, 43.7% of the residents have income below $50,000; 25.8% have income between
$50,000 and $100,000; and 30.4% have income above $100,000 (Table 10).
- The number of families with children under 18 years old and whose income is below the poverty level
increased from 3.8% to 5.5%. Overall, the poverty level in the Village of Tequesta is lower than that of PalmBeach County (Table 11).
- There is a high level of housing ownership: 79.6% of the residents own their homes while 20.4% are
tenants (Table 12).
- In terms of housing value, 53.5% of the housing stock is valued at lower than $300,000 (Table 13).
- 41.6% of occupied rental units cost between $1,000 and $1,500 monthly rent (Table 14).
In summary, the demographics and socio-economic analysis indicates that the Village population is well
educated, with a growing number of families with young children, and a large number of residents who are
age 45 and older. The high rate of home ownership indicates stability in comparison to the temporary
character of rental communities. In terms of income, the data indicates that the Village is a mixed income community with 43.7% of the residents having an annual income below $50,000.
The Village is home to a number of educational facilities including the Lighthouse Art Center, private grade
schools, and tutoring facilities that offer programs to grade school children. However there are few gathering
places for activities such as gymnasiums and event rooms. As indicated in Table #, 184 Tequesta residents live in Assisted Living Facilities who would welcome the opportunity to participate in group and interactive
programs.
The demographic and socio-economic analysis supports a need for increasing the number and type of
programs offered by the Recreation Center. The Village of Tequesta’s changing demographics and the
variety of income levels support the need for programs that can benefit young children, working parents,
active adults, school age children and senior residents.
Mr. Jose Rodriguez, Village of Tequesta’s Building Administrator, conducted a visual examination and
inspection of the Recreation Center building to determine the current condition of the existing building's
components and to report on any deficiencies regarding building systems, components, and
accessibility. He conducted his examination based upon current industry standards, the Florida Building Code and the National Electrical Code. Please see complete report in Chapter A.
As part of his summary, Mr. Rodriguez indicates “Overall, the Building appears to be in poor condition,
is non-ADA compliant, and does not meet current wind load requirements. Also, the Building likely contains mold and asbestos. I observed numerous deficiencies within the Property and I have included
a list of estimated costs to repair/replace those items (excluding the cost of asbestos removal). It should
be noted that an existing building must meet the same construction standards as a new building if the
cost of the renovation of the building equals or exceeds 50% of the building’s market value and, in this
case, it is likely that the cost of renovating the Building would exceed 50% of its market value. The purpose of this Report was to identify general items of concern”.
Chapter B-Community Outreach-presents a summary of the community outreach effort to listen,
provide information and obtain feedback from Tequesta’s residents regarding the Community Center
initiative. The meetings included Home Owner Associations (HOA), public events and open forums.
The community outreach effort included the following HOA meetings: Shay Play, Tequesta Pines,
Tequesta Gardens, Cypress Ridge and Whitehall. In terms of public events, approximately 200 people
were provided information at the Tequesta Fest on November 24, 2018, and more at the Food Truck
Pow Wow held on March 1, 2019.
Recently, open forums were organized at the Village Hall for the purpose of presenting conceptual
designs and receiving input from the residents (3/27/19 and 3/30/19). Community input was also
gathered by surveys the results of which are presented in this document.
Chapter C-Proposed Conceptual Design-provides information regarding the different steps that were
taken to arrive to the current conceptual architectural design. Meeting notes indicate that in April 2017, a
conceptual design for a new Recreation Center to be located in Remembrance Park was requested. As
part of this process, a Design Committee was organized, the Village published a Request for Proposal,
and REG was selected to prepare the conceptual design that is presented in this document.
On April 1, 2019, the Village Council appointed five (5) residents to the Community Center Advisory
Committee. This Committee held its first meeting on April 10, 2019.
In conclusion, the Village’s demographics and the community input support the need for more recreation programs. The current Recreation Center is at capacity to offer additional programs and has a number
of building deficiencies. The findings presented in this report strongly suggests improving and
expanding the current Center, or building a new facility that can accommodate the growing needs of the
Village’s residents.
This conclusion is supported by the 2018 Comprehensive Plan, Objective 1.1, which requires the Village
to “Maintain community and neighborhood parks and facilities meeting the current and future needs of
all age groups in Tequesta.”

DEMOGRAPHICS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
The Master Plan evaluates demographics and socio-economic indicators as part of the needs
assessment study. This section includes information about population, household type, age, race,
ethnicity, employment, and income level of the Village of Tequesta residents. The purpose is to
analyze how these characteristics will impact the Community Center programming.
Population
Table 1A. presents historic population trends for the Village of Tequesta. Palm Beach County data is
also presented for comparison. Incorporated in 1957, the Village experienced rapid growth during the sixties
and seventies. Large industries arrived to this northern area of Palm Beach County during this time, which
resulted in the development of multiple subdivisions to accommodate new job opportunities.
Throughout the 1980, 1990s, and 2000s, Village experienced a steady population increase. However, the growth rate was on a steady decline, as the Village became
almost fully developed. Multi-family developments during this time mark some of the last
developments in the area, as the Village became almost fully built-out. Besides potential
development opportunities on the few remaining vacant lots, the population is not expected to see
much more significant increases to the population from new development. According to the Bureau
of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) of the University of Florida, the population of the Village had
increased to 5,665 people by 2015. Additional population analysis and estimates of permanent
and seasonal population 2015-2040 are presented at the end of this document.

Population Projections
As indicated in Table 1B, the most recent estimate of the permanent population for the Village is
6,119 residents for 2040, according to the Shimberg Center for Housing Studies Clearing, which are based on
University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) and the center’s housing data. Seasonal
population presented an actual increase of 325 people between the last decennial censuses. That represented a
54% increase in seasonal residents. That growth coincided with a peak in Condo construction where the
majority of seasonal residents own or rent property
today. Since then, the Village has essentially reached a built-out status. It has been assumed that
seasonal population may continue to grow but at the same pace of the permanent population. Table 1B.
presents a total population, including seasonal, of 7,128 people for the year 2040.
Therefore, both permanent and seasonal population are expected to remain stable over the next 20 years given the
built-out status mentioned above, unless the Village chooses to pursue a new major annexation program, which has
been rejected in the recent past by residents of those areas, or attract considerable higher density
redevelopment in the future. Although the University of Florida’s BEBR is projecting a 358,117 increase in the
number of permanent residents living in Palm Beach County between 2015 and 2035, it is unlikely that the
Village’s growth will be impacted without some significant change in anticipated conditions. I
In onclusion, Table 1B. presents actual population growth increase between the last two decennial censuses.
Since then, the Village has experienced very little population growth, which is estimated to continue, as shown in the
projected population 2015-2040. A factor that has certainly contributed to the Village’s slowing growth rate
include the lack of available land for new development, since the Village is basically built out. Future estimated
population growth could be accommodated in the remaining vacant land, potential annexation of
unincorporated enclaves scattered throughout the Village or potential higher density redevelopment of existing areas.

Table 3 shows the numerical and percentage breakdown of the Village’s population by age
in 2010 and 2014 according to the American Community Survey
(ACS) from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The 45-54-year-old age group is the largest in both years (16.7% and 20%). In both 2010 and
2014, the second largest age group was 65-74-year-olds. However, the population in this age
group decreased between 2010 and 2014, from 15.5% to 12.9%. Overall, Tequesta's
population 65 and over has decreased, with the most growth seen in the 45 to 59-year age
groups. Table 3 also indicates that the number of children under 5 years old increased from
1.9% to 4.4%.
Table 3. Population Age
This section examines the socioeconomic characteristics of the population. The following analysis is based on the American
Community Survey (ACS) of the U.S. Census Bureau which includes estimates based on a sample of households over a 5-year
period. The data provided by the ACS allows an in depth analysis of socioeconomic variables and trends. The following tables
reflect the most recent data provided by the ACS and are organized in columns, each representing a 5- year period: the first
provides data from 2006-2010, and the second from 2010-2014.
Table 2 presents the number of households and persons per household according to the American Community Survey (ACS)
from the U.S. Census Bureau. A household is defined as the person or persons occupying a dwelling unit. As the average
household size decreases, the number of households or required dwelling units increases relative to the population. Due to
several factors, average household size is decreasing throughout the United States. These factors include families having
fewer children and delaying the birth of children; young adults no longer living with parents but moving out on their own,
and older persons living longer independently and not returning to their children in their later years. Combined, these factors
have led to a decrease in the average household size. Conversely, the average household size in the Village of Tequesta as
almost remained the same, with a slight increase from 2.27 to 2.28 between 2010 and 2014, as indicated in Table 2. These
numbers are slightly lower than the 2014 Palm Beach County average household size of 2.51

Population Race
Tables 4 and 5 present the racial characteristics of the Village’s population according to the American the
Community Survey (ACS) from the U.S. Census Bureau. At 92.8%, the largest portion of the population in the
Village of Tequesta is White. While the White population decreased between 2010 and 2014, the second largest
race population, Hispanic or Latino of any race, increased from 6.3% to 10.2%. The Village’s Asian population
increased from 1.8% to 4.4% between 2010 and 2014, which is higher than that of Palm Beach County. Palm Beach
County data reflects a slightly different racial breakdown. At the county level, 75.5% percent of the
population was white (including persons of any origin) in 2014. Hispanic or Latino of any race accounted for
20% of the population, while Black or African American was 17.7%.

Education
Table 6 indicates the education attainment level of the Village’s population according to
the American Community Survey (ACS) from the U.S. Census Bureau. Achievement levels are broken
down into different categories. The college level groups are further broken down to show those
that had some college (no degree), an associate’s degree, a bachelor’s degree, and a graduate or
professional degree. Achievement levels recorded are the highest level (years completed)
reached by an individual.
According to Table 6, 93.8% of the population had a high school diploma or higher
educational level in the 2006-2010 period. The Village of Tequesta experienced a small increase to
94.4 % in the period 2010-2014. That figure is just slightly higher than the 87.7% of the population
in Palm Beach County who had a high school diploma or higher education level. The number
of individuals with a graduate or professional degree increased from 11.8% in 2010 to 15.8 %
in 2014 in the Village, compared to 12.3% in 2014 for Palm Beach County.

Employment
Tables 7 and 8 provide employment and occupation data according to the American
Community Survey (ACS) from the U.S. Census Bureau. Between 2010 and 2014, the Village’s
population that was in labor force increased from 59.8% to 64.8%. Countywide, 60.2% of the population
was part of the labor force in 2014, while 39.8% were not in the labor force. he Village labor
force unemployment rate in 2010 was 1.8% which increased to 3.2% in 2014, compared to
6.5% in Palm Beach County.
In 2010, 34.2% of the labor force was engaged in management, business, science, and arts
occupations, which increased to 50.1% in 2014. Service occupations increased from 14.5% to
17.1%, while natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations experienced an

Poverty Level
Table 11 presents the percentage of families and people whose income in the past calendar year was
below the poverty level. Federal poverty levels are used to determine eligibility for certain
programs and benefits. Poverty level is a measure of income level issued annually by the
Department of Health and Human Services. The economic downturn and high level of
unemployment during the great recession impacted income and raised the number of families and
people under poverty level in Tequesta as experienced elsewhere.
Overall, the Village of Tequesta has lower poverty levels than Palm Beach County. However, the number
of families and people below the poverty level in the Village increased from 2010 to 2014. All
families below the poverty level increased from 1.6% to 3.9%; and all people from 3.4% to 5.4%. As for
Palm Beach County, 10.5% of all families, and 14.6% of all people were below the poverty level in 2014.
On the contrary, the number of families in the Village with female householders (no husband
present) decreased from 10.7% to 5.8% during this time period, whereas 26.2% of these families
were below the poverty level in Palm Beach County. In both the Village and the county, more families
with female householders (no husband present) were under the poverty level in comparison with
married couple families.

Table 12 indicates that between 2010 in 2014, Tequesta saw a slight shift in the number of owner-occupied and
renter-occupied units. Owner-occupied units decreased by 2.8 percent, while renter-occupied units increase by 2.8
percent during that time. By 2014, 79.6 percent of all occupied housing units in Tequesta were owner-occupied, in
contrast with 20.4 percent occupied by renters. This trend is consistent with the County where there are more
owner-occupied units than renter-occupied units. The average number of persons per household, both owner- and
renter-occupied, is slightly over two (2.25 and 2.39, respectively) in Tequesta, which is just barely lower than in Palm
Beach County (2.47 and 2.67). This is consistent with the larger concentration of retirees and “empty nesters” in
Tequesta.
Table 12. Housing Tenure
Source: U.S. Census Bureau; 2006-2010 & 2010-2014 5-Year American Community Survey.
Table 13 indicates the value of owner-occupied housing. The value of housing continues to be higher
in Tequesta than in Palm Beach County as a whole. In 2014, approximately 30.6 percent of the homes in
Tequesta were valued at less than $200,000, compared to 51.2 percent at the County level.
However, over 20 percent of the Village’s homes were valued at over $500,000, compared to
approximately 11 percent in Palm Beach County. These numbers are consistent with the 2014
median home values, which were higher in the Village ($287,400) than in the County ($194,600).

2014. In Tequesta, 31.3 percent of occupied rental units cost less than $1,000 in 2014, compared to 34.8
percent in the County. . At 68.6 percent, the majority of rental housing units in the Village have rental values
higher than $1,000, which is comparable to those in Palm Beach County (65.3 percent). These figures are
consistent with the age of the housing stock in Tequesta.

Additional Comments:
Gymnastic space should be at least 5000 square feet.
Thank you!
500 square feet for Coach Larry.
We love gymnastics for the kids!
x2
Splash pad!
Show programs available in the village magazine. Choose a resident
to get a free class to help get involved! Spark more interest!
Stage on pavilion.
Gymnastics summer camp offered as it has been in previous years but
not this year.
The gymnastics program is excellent!
Tennis courts would be great!!
We love everything that is offered currently but more late classes for
kids programs would be great.
Swimming pool would be great.
Would you consider a swimming pool? Swim With Gills could operate
your program.
A supervised kids room and shared workspace for parents-like a co
working room with childcare would be amazing, or space to work while
kids are in the programs.
Love the gymnastics program.
A splash park would be great!
Love the beautiful+ convenient Constitution Park-Great Community
Asset.
Make the website easier to sign up for classes etc. -Not user friendly
currently.
We love the programs and will support any additional offerrings in the
community:)
New building with updated facilities.
Would love if any Tequesta address could benefit from discounts.
Planning to become a resident.
Would love to have pilates-very healthful for our core in addition to
yoga.
Enjoying Tai Chi very much.
More seating. Indoors-during gymnastics/picnic areas for food trucks.
My boys go to the Thursday Ninja Class. We love taking classes here and
are looking forward to signing up for more classes here.
The outside space is wonderful and offers a lot of multifunctional uses.
I would hate to see any of the outside space be diminished in any way.
More programs that are quality for kids (older kids) and for moms!
Splash pad in the playground would be amazing! Mist cooling too!
Larger gymnastic area.
The gymnastics program needs more space.
A splash park would be an amazing addition too!
Would love to have bigger building for gymnastics and dance.
The best part of Constitution is the amount of shade. Most local parks
do not provide enough shade. Would love even more shade where
possible.
More activities for elementary school children.
An electric charger for cars would be awesome!!
Splash pad.
We love the parks and we love Tequesta.
Splash pad + shade : )
Bigger facility with more parking.
