Located at the mid -paint of Tequesta Drive between Old Dixie Highway and US-1 is the intersection of Main Street. 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 was a VAnn Dixie shopping plaza. In 1989 the Village hired Dover Kohl and Partners to develop a Master Plan for the area. This particular location, at the bend in the middle of Tequesta Drive, was 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 first of the Town Center buildings was built at 1 Main Street. Located at the SE corner of Main Street and Tequesta Drive, this 2 and 3-story, 27,979 square foot mixed -use building was the first vertical 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. PARADISE PARK - 7 TOWN CENTER REDEVELOPMENT CONCEPT & COMMUNITY PARKS PARADISE PARK - 7 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. The TCRPC team focused on the importance of publicly visible, accessible, and meaningful civic open space as a core element to any development proposals for the remaining Town Center parcels. Part of the challenge to this Master Plan effort is to identify any policy and/or code changes necessary to ensure that the civic open space element is included. 7JIMMI 0 MC RIDGE RD EXISTING ALTERNATIVE 1 ALTERNATIVE 2 PARADISE PARK - 7 TOWN CENTER The TCl team developed a few different scenarios conceptually identifying new buildings, parking locations, and options testing the best location for the civic open space. The renderings provided illustrate some of the design options. A central plaza or square, as the civic open space, is a key organizing element for each scenario. Figure 13 Rendenng of proposed redevelopment for Paradise Park No Text While the provision of civic open space as part of the Paradise Paris redevelopment scenarios focused on Tequesta Drive, it is evident how important the Bridge Road connection is between Old Dixie and US-i. 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 f/- 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 street sections and 3-dimentional illustrations, the design team identified ways to formalize and 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. Street diagram of Bridge Road's existing conditions BRIDGE ROAD V MPROVING MOBILITY Existing conditions i __ � fMlilri BRIDGE ROAD $ The design proposal includes a centralized bio-swale for storm water retention and cleansing as well as pervious surfaces for on -street parking. Large inefficient head -in parking spaces could be converted into plazas and gathering spaces. Part of this conversion over time will require analyzing parking needs and potential off -site parking solutions. Wide sidewalks, on -street parking, shade trees and street lighting could over time convert this very important link in Tequesta's Town Center to a highly desirable and more environmentally sustainable location. No Text TEOUESTA DISTRICT CENTERc The Tequesta District Centers are identified as Village Center North (VCH), Town Center (TC), and village Center (VC). The existing zoning for these centers are listed in the chart below. The primary roadway network is identified in black, and the priority locations for Civic Open Space is marked with a star. Code recommendations for these centers can be found on the following pages of this report.

Old Dixie, Main Street, TeWesta Drive East, and US-1 northbound and southbound. Each one has very similar characteristics including ample sidewalks, shade trees, and clear zones for different activities or functions within the sidewalks. The Bridge Road streetscape (far left) incorporates on -street parking to compliment the local business activity on the south side of the roadway. The H. Old Dixie streetscape (left) includes very wide sidewalks and wide planting strips to accommodate large shade trees. The location of each of these sections can be found on page C-6 as " fC1" and " fC2". The provision of commercial drive -through environments in the MU and C-2 districts was brought up repeatedly during the public design charrette as an area needing attention. There are community concerns that allowing commercial drive-throughs can erode the public realm and impact the potential for multi -modal environments along the corridors. One approach would be to simply prohibit drive- throughs however there are other physical design requirements that can accommodate drive-throughs and maintain urban building frontage continuity along the street. The following diagrams illustrate different ways drive-throughs can be accommodated in an urban environment. Q TEQUESTA IN HARMONY WITH THE WILDERNESS Tequesta is uniquely situated between importanthabitatssuch as the Loxahatchee River, Johnathan Dickinson, and Jupiter Lighthouse. The following are policies that could be incorporated into Village through grants, programs, polices, and Lend Development Regulations to further enhance the relationship between the development and the environment. GREEN STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE Green stormwater infrastructure, or low -impact infrastructure, practices and policies reexamine traditional engineering approaches to stormwater management by integrating stormwater management within the right-of-way and within the development in a compact and often beautiful. Rain gardens, tree boxes, and pervious surface are utilized to keep and treat stormwater at its source instead of relying soling on conveying stormwater. BIRD FRIENDLY GLAZING As glazing become more prominent in building and arTchitecture, the glazing in building has had a • detrimental effect on birds. Confused by the reflective quality of glass, birds at greater and greater numbers J are flying into buildings and dying. This effect is most observed at large skyscrapers since there may be more glazing present, but the largest effect is with buildings of two, three, and four stories because those are the most comment building height. In response to bird deaths, advocates and scientist have developed best practices for bird safe glazing which include glazing t,A with embedded patters, etching, utilizing fins, mullions. ,k- Urban Street Stormwater Guide FIGURE 235HOPFRONTFRONTAGE the shopfront is a frontage type along the sidewalk level of the ground story, typically associated with comrni l uses.

Often considered an eclectic style, it originated in the British -settled isles of the Caribbean and influenced by Portuguese, Dutch, French, and Spanish colonizations. West Indies style homes tend to be symmetrical and balanced. Even when brightly painted and embellished, there's a sense of proportion and that every element works together. c.Wt i; � t �,: ilii� ,��li l�lllli fill � _i�► t� oil !fill Figure 24 29 Lagarza Court, Aiys beach, FL.
