E XECUTIVE S UMMARY In November 2021, the Village of Tequesta (Village) entered into an agreement with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) to conduct a public design charrette and develop a master plan establishing a vision for the commercial corridors and Mixed-Use areas within the Village. Like many other local governments in Palm Beach County, the Village of Tequesta has been experiencing increasing development pressure for residential and mixed-use development. While the Village currently has a Mixed-Use Zoning District, commercially zoned areas have also been pursued for residential redevelopment. The Village has concerns that the current zoning designations may need to be re-evaluated and updated to provide clearer direction on the community’s expectations for future growth. What are appropriate building heights, building scale and positioning for new development in the Village? Are there space or the creation of Complete Streets? These questions and others were to be explored through the master planning process. charrette held at the Village Council chambers. The charrette culminated two months of pre-charrette stakeholder interviews and meetings with the Charrette Host Work-in-Progress presentation was given to illustrate work to date and solicit further public input. This Master Plan report illustrates the various design and regulatory recommendations made to the Village of Tequesta. Also included in the Appendix are DRAFT Architectural Design Guidelines intended to steer the architectural character of future development within the Village. It is the recommendation of the TCRPC team that this Master Plan report be adopted by the Village as a guide to future growth. COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 1 II. T OUR OF THE P LAN PROJECTS provided by the community and developed during the charrette process. The Master Plan is not a single “project”; the plan is a series of the projects illustrated within will require direct participation of the Village as they include public infrastructure or policy changes. Many of the projects described in this section are intended to be implemented by the private sector and private property owners. These concepts are provided to give guidance to future investors as to what are appropriate and desirable types of projects from the public’s perspective. Of course, not every concept will reach exact fruition, nor will there ever be complete consensus on what is “right” for the Village. This document, however, does illustrate design concepts that Design concept for Paradise Park inclusive of public open space. follow traditional planning principles and that are intended to result in beautiful, pedestrian-friendly projects that create memorable places within the Village. charrette. The objectives and design approach for each of these projects is described in some detail in the following pages. Over time, greater detail can be provided for the projects currently on the list and other projects could be added. This Master Plan document is to serve the Village for some time and should be updated periodically to assist changes in the community. Illustration of Tequesta’s Linear Park Trailhead concept.

T OUR OF THE P LAN 1 GALLERY SQUARE Located in the heart of the Village at the intersection of Tequesta Drive and Seabrook Road, Gallery REDEVELOPMENT Square Shops (North and South) are an interesting array of local shops, businesses, and restaurants. CONCEPT Built during the 1960’s and 1970’s, the two strip shopping centers are made up of multiple individual buildings and there are multiple owners. While the two centers are very popular with the community, layouts with an emphasis on the large parking areas. The team chose to illustrate how over time, the centers might rebuild into a neighborhood mixed-use center with an emphasis on creating a public plaza for gathering, events, and dining. In this scenario the parking is located to the side and the rear of the buildings which face the streets and plaza. Images of Gallery Square Gallery Square proposal sketch. COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 5 II. T OUR OF THE P LAN 1 GALLERY SQUARE The design concept also includes the EXISTINGREDEVELOPMENT parcels facing Tequesta Drive west of Seabrook Road. These new buildings would also face the street, relegate parking to the sides and rears of the TEQUESTA DR buildings, and help frame the new TEQUESTA DR plaza at the corner to strengthen this location as the center of town.

The participants were in agreement that the preferred N. OLD DIXIE HWY route to Publix at the Countyline Shopping Center for most Village residents is north on Dixie Highway and then east along Village Boulevard thereby entering the plaza from the south. This route avoids IMPROVING MOBILITY having to use US-1 and make a potentially dangerous left-hand turn into the plaza. N. Old Dixie Highway is a long straight road with limited interruptions and the intersection with Village Boulevard can be dangerous. On solution discussed was to develop a roundabout at that intersection. and would also be an opportunity for a civic monument or special landscaping. In addition, the linear park along the FEC tracks currently provides multi-purpose pathways that would be better connected to Village Parkway at that location with an appropriate intervention.

Old Dixie Highway is a two-to-four lane historic roadway corridor that runs parallel and adjacent to the eastern edge of the FEC Railway Corridor. There are periodic turn lanes (eastbound only) and few IMPROVING MOBILITY interruptions for the 4,700’ arrow-straight stretch north of Tequesta Drive to County Line Road. As discussed earlier in this report relative to the N. Old Dixie Highway and Village Boulevard intersection, the road tends to be fast and sometimes dangerous. There are also lengths of the roadway where a center “median” is striped out with paint. It came to the attention of the TCRPC team during the charrette that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) may be in the process of scheduling a RRR (Resurfacing, Restoration, and Rehabilitation) project for this section of the roadway. The team RRR project scheduled, now would be the time to recommend some physical improvements to FDOT. Cross section diagram of N. Old Dixie Hwy. redeveloped.View South along N. Old Dixie Highway COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 8 II. T OUR OF THE P LAN 3 N. OLD DIXIE HWY The design concept illustrated here page suggests that the center striped “median” be turned into a true landscaped median with shade trees. In addition, shade trees and missing sidewalk links should also be provided. The intent with this proposal, as is with the Village Boulevard intersection, is to slow greater level of protection for non- motorized users, and provide beauty to the corridor through landscaping and periodic structures. This rendering illustrates that other improvements might be made along the FEC Linear Park and N. Old Dixie Highway corridor. In this rendering additional shade trees line both sides of the roadway, the previously mentioned median with shade trees is in place, and civic markers and pergola shade structures are provided as functional shelter and civic beauty along the parkway. In addition, the intersection could be raised as a speed table with textured surface treatments to slow vehicles down and remind motorists that this is an intersection used by bicyclists and pedestrians as well. COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 9 II. T OUR OF THE P LAN 4 FEC LINEAR PARK – TRAILHEAD IMPROVING MOBILITY There currently exists an 8’-10’ multipurpose pathway that is within the FEC Railway right-of-way to opposite the Tequesta Water Treatment Plant. This is a very useful facility that could be extended and embellished over time. The trail terminates at is northern location due to FEC leasing portions of its right-of-way to Amerigas. Ideally the pathway should be extended over time to connect Tequesta Park to the system and possibly even connect to Jonathan Dickinson State Park in the future. The trail system does not extend south of Tequesta Drive and access for the continuation of the trail is impeded by the Rinker Materials Corporation facility. During the charrette, the idea of creating a point for cyclists, runners, and hikers. This facility might include restrooms, sundries and/or vending, some parking, and outdoor shelters. The concept could work well with the idea of the Sustainability Park immediately west. This location is important not only because of the link to the linear park and pathway to the north but it also marks the transition along Tequesta Drive from more neighborhood- oriented experiences to the more urban Town Center of Tequesta.

There has been some debate within the Village as to what should become of this land, “is it a public asset that needs to be preserved and improved or should it be vacated and granted to the adjacent property owners?” On idea that was discussed during the charrette was to use the land to create a Sustainability Park and Gardens. The concept is to restore this area with native plantings and habitat as a screen for the FEC rail corridor. In addition there might be limited vehicular access to the existing businesses. Another potential aspect of the Sustainability Park and Gardens could be the growing of organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs with a small restaurant or vendor structure facing Tequesta Drive. This additional use could create synergies along Tequesta Drive with the proposed Existing conditions Trailhead east of the FEC Railway. COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 13 II.

Main Street, a Village right-of-way, connects to Bridge Road to the south and has a central roundabout thereby bifurcating that block. Historically this area south of Tequesta Drive REDEVELOPMENT was a Winn Dixie shopping plaza. In 1989 the Village hired Dover Kohl and Partners to develop a CONCEPT & COMMUNITY Master Plan for the area. This particular location, at the bend in the middle of Tequesta Drive, was PARKS determined to be the location for the new Town Center. Over the course of the next decade right- of-way was acquired for Main Street and the new Mixed-Use zoning was put into place. In 2001 the construction in the Town Center. The other three parcels adjacent to Main Street remained vacant and were ultimately leased to the Village for public use. The parcel facing Tequesta Drive was converted to parking and the two parcels facing Bridge Road to the south were improved as passive open space and a dog park. 1 Main Street building on the corner of Tequesta Drive and Main Street.Vacant parcels adjacent to Main StreetParadise Park signage COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 15 II. T OUR OF THE P LAN 7 PARADISE PARK – TOWN CENTER Named Paradise Park, these open spaces grew to become important gathering places for residents, events, and visitors. While the three Paradise Park parcels (the north parking lot and the two Bridge Road open spaces) have not implemented the vision for the Town Center area, the Mixed-Use zoning still remains in place. In December 2021, the lease agreement between the Village and the property owners expired and Paradise Park is no longer available for public use. During the April 2022 public design charrette, it was made clear to the team that some form of public open space needs to be retained through redevelopment within the Paradise Park parcels.

T OUR OF THE P LAN 8 BRIDGE ROAD While the provision of civic open space as part of the Paradise Park redevelopment scenarios focused on Tequesta Drive, it is evident how important the Bridge Road connection is between Old Dixie and IMPROVING MOBILITY US-1. Bridge Road is an essential link in the Town Center grid system and currently is the home to many local businesses. The current conditions of the roadway, however, could be greatly improved. The right-of-way is +/- 80’ and while it is only a two-lane facility, the road edges are ambiguous and vast amounts of asphalt and head-in parking give the corridor a tattered look. Through a series of discipline the corridor so that it is functional and safe for cars, cyclists, and pedestrians. In addition, the provision of a continuous canopy of shade trees will make this stretch of Bridge Road desirable as a neighborhood street.

T OUR OF THE P LAN 10 TEQUESTA SHOPPES Considering that the Tequesta charrette was REDEVELOPMENT held after nearly a year and a half of pandemic CONCEPT and restaurants, it is remarkable how few retail/ restaurant vacancies are in the Village of Tequesta. 1 While this is very positive for the Village, it did make - S U choosing potential redevelopment sites to test design concepts more challenging as none of the centers are in obvious distress.

The major tenants include Marshalls, HomeGoods, and the Dollar Store; all of which seem to be very popular with the community. Unfortunately, the massive parking lot does little to engage or improve the physical 1 environment of US-1. This design concept proposes - S U and create new structures in line with the shops at the north end of the plaza. This is depicted in read on the concept plan on the left.

T OUR OF THE P LAN 10 TEQUESTA SHOPPES from what is proposed at Tequesta Fashion Mall in that the existing head-in parking remains and the new buildings do not engage the street and sidewalk directly. This approach is taken for the Tequesta Shoppes in order to maintain the existing connectivity to the existing shops to the north and to provide continuity along the street. If there was a proposal to raze the entire center and completely redevelop the site, the approach would have been more consistent with The Fashion Mall proposal. In addition to the new retail frontages, this concept also illustrates a new civic or public building with a small square facing US-1. COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 25 II.

Waterway Road intersects with US-1 and is the eastward extension of Tequesta Drive tying into the heart include parking and drive aisles for the Trust Bank Branch, the Tequesta Shoppes, and portions of the Waterway Beach Condominiums. Currently the only sidewalk along Waterway Road is along the Trust Bank parcel however the further east one travels along that corridor the more open space (public and private) that exists for connection opportunities. Initial phases could include extending the sidewalk east to where Waterway Road turns south. Providing safe pedestrian passage might increase the likelihood that residents will walk to shops or restaurants (it is less than ¼ WATERWAY ROAD US-1). Over time, as parcels redevelop or there are changes of use requiring fewer drive aisles and parking spaces, the sidewalk connection along the north side of Waterway Road Existing conditions view looking East along could expand in larger green areas with shade trees and Waterway Road U S -1 street lighting.

K EY R ECOMMENDATIONS & I MPLEMENTATION KEY RECOMMENDATIONS & IMPLEMENTATION The success of this (and any other) Master Plan will depend on its ability to be implemented economically and socially within a designated time frame. To that end, the recommendations throughout this report have been developed as independent but interrelated projects. Some, such as public infrastructure projects, are within the Village’s control to pursue implementation, with funding being the primary challenge. Other recommendations are redevelopment techniques that are illustrated on private property types of projects, the principles of urban design described and illustrated through the report and in the examples have to be embedded culturally within the Village, required by its codes, and encouraged of the Master Plan. LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS Updating the existing Land Development Regulations (LDRs) in a few key areas will be important in ensuring that the community vision is more predictably attainable. During the public design charrette a residents and businesses from impacts of adjacent development and to ensure a desirable physical form. LDRs can also serve as a redevelopment tool – providing critical information to potential investors and codes can function as a disincentive for redevelopment. potential code revisions.

The quantity and location of on-site parking requirements can also become a detriment to pedestrian environments and the quality of a place. Conventional standards of front-loaded parking lots, and the requirement of an over-abundance of parking spaces, has resulted in the degradation of the public realm and made the pedestrian and non-motorized environments challenging. appropriate locations of parking areas – namely to the back and to a limited extent, the side of buildings.

On the other hand, lighting is critical to an active downtown and promoting safe streets. Therefore, to mitigate contributions to light pollution, the Village should investigate dark sky- approved products or dark sky-friendly lighting when specifying street lighting. Dark sky-friendly products direct light only where needed and reduce the amount of light that can contribute to direct light down and are fully shielded. They can also be a “warmer” light opposed to a “cooler” blue light which greater disruptive impact. COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 45 III. K EY R ECOMMENDATIONS & I MPLEMENTATION ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES APPROPRIATE BUILDING TYPES AND CHARACTER DEFINING ELEMENTS Throughout the course of the Village Master Plan process and the public design charrette, the idea of architectural design guidelines has been discussed repeatedly. TCRPC has architectural styles deemed appropriate for the Village of Tequesta. Some of the architectural styles are more conducive to single family residential while some styles, like Mediterranean Revival and Mid-Century Modern are appropriate for single family and commercial or mixed-use buildings. The intent of these guidelines is not to intent is to be inspirational and educational Excerpt of from the sample Architectural Design Guidelines found in Appendix D. and for there to be a record of appropriate architectural styles for the Village. In addition, enough detail is provided as to the components that make up these styles they should assist in design review. COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN 46 III. K EY R ECOMMENDATIONS & I MPLEMENTATION PRE-APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS The Village has recently proposed updates to the redevelopment application process to require conceptual design meetings early in the process. This approach was discussed during the charrette process and is important to the Village being proactive in directing future development projects. Projects proposed within the Mixed-Use and C-2 districts need to have Village input and evaluation as early as possible within the DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES Many cities, towns, and villages consider the use of development incentives as a tool to ensure the local community’s particular vision is being implemented. Often these will include increases in building height, density, intensity, parking reductions, or in the case of Community Another successful incentive is the potential for administrative approval of projects that meet the expectations of the community vision with little to no deviation. This approach is typically supported by very clear development regulations usually as a Form-Based Code. Some of those form-based elements are provided as recommendations in this plan.

US 1 streetscape (left) is a strategy to provide more shade trees along the corridor on private commercial property. This approach is consistent with the section provided in front of the Tequesta Shoppes further south. Incentives should provide shade trees in existing landscape areas adjacent to the sidewalk.

Not all frontages are appropriate for all streets. As an example, a storefront frontage type would not be appropriate on a strictly residential street just as a porch type would not be appropriate on US-1. By controlling the Frontages Types, along with the suggested street section changes, the public realm of Tequesta should be well protected as redevelopment occurs.

M EDITERRANEAN REVIVAL A STYLE DESCRIBED Mediterranean Revival is a design style introduced primarily in Florida and California at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. The style references the architecture of the Mediterranean, especially that of the Beaux-Arts, the Venetian Gothic, and the Spanish and Italian Renaissance. The principal mass of a Mediterranean structure is typically rectangular in plan, with elements such as towers, loggias, porches, and details) but Mediterranean Revival does not follow the stricter rules of symmetry and superimposition of the Classical style.

M ID-C ENTURY M ODERN A STYLE DESCRIBED Mid-century Modern as a building style was popular on many levels: for major tourist resorts and hotels, multi-family condominiums, commercial structures, garden-style apartment buildings, and single-family homes. The overriding characteristic of mid-century buildings is that of experimentation; both with construction materials and applied architectural parabolic arches, and glass curtain walls all making reference to space-age technologies and the new advancements in transportation design. There was a heavy use of glass and poured concrete, and facades (a side of a building) typically featured more than one material, such as stucco, stone, brick, masonry sculptural elements, mosaic tiles and metal. The intent was to utilize the various materials and projecting elements in order to break up what would have otherwise been a largely uniform (and boring) building façade.

R ANCH A STYLE DESCRIBED Since the ranch home’s main emphasis was to connect indoor living with the outdoors, they are very shallow, sometimes only one room deep, but spread out horizontally. Many utilize the sliding glass door as a key component of the architecture. Ranch houses are generally one story, and most include an attached garage or carport. One end of the home, or sometimes both ends, protrudes out from the front of the house. The roof is low- pitched (meaning it is not steep) and features deep eaves. To convey its historic setting of being on an open plain or in the vast western wilderness, many of the materials used are rustic in nature and were left unpainted. Wall materials can vary from clapboard, stucco, or brick. Those ranch homes that were not completely made of brick sometimes had a brick veneer feature on the front of the house, or brick planters.
