the church submitted a Special Exception Use application to modify the existing use and include
an educational component (pre-school) to their existing religious facility. Per Village Code Sec.
78-173, educational facilities such as preschool and school facilities are allowed accessory uses
for places of assemblies in the R-1 Zoning District.
The Applicant is requesting to modify the existing site plan, building aesthetics, and landscaping.
The subject modification also includes interior renovations to allow a pre-school to operate
within the existing building. According to the Applicant, the children attending the proposed
facility will be between 2 and 5 years old.

Agenda Item #9.
Per Section 78-143, the minimum open space requirement for the R-1 zoning district is 30%. This
site is a legal non -conformity because the existing open space percentage for the subject
property is 23.75%. Please note, the enclosure of the existing porte-cochere increases the overall
footprint of the existing 23,145-square foot building by 12 square feet. However, the increase in
the building footprint does not extend the legal nonconformity, rather, the Applicant is proposing
to reduce the legal nonconforming from 23.75% to 24.63 increasing open space by reconfiguring
and eliminating an existing driveway entrance.
Per the Village Code, once the Special Exception Use is approved by the Village Council; then,
the subject application is required to be reviewed under the Site Plan Review process. The Site
Plan Review process includes compliance with Article IX, Division 2, Site Plan Review. In

Council. The Site Plan Review process includes compliance with zoning code, aesthetics
considerations, and overall compatibility with the surrounding.

Steve,
Attached please find an email from the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County. We have been instructed by the
Department of Education that they have no jurisdiction over Pre -School programs and referred us to the Early Learning

I believe this should satisfy the Village of Tequesta request for the written documentation from the Department of

Subject: Child Care
Hello Mr. Parisi,
This email is in reference to our conversation earlier this week. Providers who offer child care services
to children under the age of 5 entry into public school need to be licensed by the Department of Health
child care licensing division to be operating legally.
The Department of Education does not directly supervise child care programs but rather they are
inspected by the Health Dept. for our county.
Palm Beach County is a local licensing agency under Special Act Chapter 59-1698 in that they have
higher standards than the state's licensing standards under Department of Child and Families
(DCF). Palm Beach county does not allow for child care providers to operate as unlicensed facilities.
This includes Faith based programs that have the option of being licensed exempt under DCF Rule. The
Dept. of Health requires faith based programs to either obtain a certificate of compliance (faith based
child care license) or Substantial Compliance (faith based programs with lesser regulations — usually for
school age programs).
Once a program obtains the child care license or faith based child care license they would be eligible to
contract with the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach to accept children with subsidy funding (School
Readiness) or offer the Voluntary Prekindergarten program (VPK). The Early Learning Coalition is the
administer of the state and federal funding for child care services. These contracts are under the
Division of Early Learning with is part of the Department of Education for the state of Florida.

aesthetics, interior building renovations, and revisions to the landscaping and a new Special
Exception Use approval to allow for a "School" to operate within the existing building. The subject

considered at such meetings or hearings, he or she will need to ensure that a verbatim record of the
proceedings is made, which record should include the testimony and evidence from which the appeal is
to be based. The Village of Tequesta does not provide such a record.

Secs. 78-372-78-390. - Reserved.
Sec. 78-361. - Purpose.
The development and execution of a zoning ordinance is based upon the division of the village into districts, within which the
use of land and structures and the bulk and location of structures in relation to the land are substantially uniform. It is recognized,
however, that there are certain uses and features which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be distinctly classified or
regulated in a particular district without consideration in each case of the impact of such uses and features upon neighboring uses
and the surrounding area, compared with the public need for them at particular locations. Such uses and features are therefore
treated as special exceptions. A special exception is not the automatic right of any applicant.
(Code 1977, app. A, § X(J)(1))
Sec. 78-362. - Applicability.
All initial requests for special exception uses as listed in this chapter, along with their related accessory uses shall be subject to
the requirements of this division. In addition, any modification to the use of a previously granted special exception, except for a
modification that changes said use to a permitted use as listed in this chapter, shall be subject to the requirements of this division.
Requests to expand, enlarge or revise the site of an existing special exception use shall be classified and processed pursuant to the
following three categories;
(1) Small scale, interior - interior expansion, enlargement or revision of less than ten percent of the originally approved special
exception site square footage and having construction costs of less than $100,00.00, once within any eighteen month
period (this category contemplates uses located in existing shopping centers or similar structures, where no change to the
overall building footprint is required).
Applicant shall submit the processing fee in an amount established by resolution of the village council and on file in
the village clerk's office.
Review and approval is provided by the community development director, following which, the applicant may apply
for building permits.

special exception site square footage and having construction costs of less than $100,00.00 once within any eighteen
month period (this category contemplates a change to the existing structure's footprint, and other site related revisions
that flow therefrom).
a. Applicant shall submit the processing fee in an amount established by resolution of the village council and on file in
the village clerk's office.
b. Review and approval regarding the continuing special exception use is provided by the community development
director, following which, the applicant shall submit an application for site plan modification.
When reviewing small scale expansion, enlargement or revision, the community development director shall make a
determination that such expansion, enlargement or revision does not result in a violation of the requirements of sections
78-363 or 78-364, or a violation of any previously imposed condition of approval.
(3) Large scale - any expansion, enlargement or revision to the site of an existing special exception use that does not qualify
as either small scale interior or small scale exterior. Such expansion, enlargement or revision is subject to the
requirements of this division.
(Ord. No. 19-11, § 1, 11-10-2011)
Sec. 78-363. - Criteria.
Special exception uses to which this division applies as set forth in section 78-362 shall be permitted only upon authorization of
the village council provided that such uses shall be found by the village council to comply with the following requirements:
(1) The proposed use is a permitted special exception use.
(2) The use is so designed, located and proposed to be operated so that the public health, safety, welfare and morals will be
protected.
(3) The use will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood where it is to be located.
(4) The use will be compatible with adjoining development and the proposed character of the district where it is to be
located.
(5) Adequate landscaping and screening is provided as required in this chapter.
(6) Adequate off-street parking and loading is provided and ingress and egress is so designed as to cause minimum
interference with traffic on abutting streets.

Sec. 78-364. - Findings required for approval.
Before any special exception to which this division applies as set forth in section 78-362 is granted, the village council shall

the district where it is located, except as may otherwise be determined for planned developments. Failure to comply with all
the applicable regulations governing the district as required by the site plan approval process will void the granted special
exception use.

ATTACHMENT
As referenced in the Special Exception Use application, this attachment includes the Project Narrative,
answers to responses to Sec. 78-363 — Criteria and Sec. 78-364 — Findings required for approval and
Photographs of the areas earmarked for renovations and modifications as defined herein.
Project Narrative
The following project narrative describes the proposed scope of work for the modifications to the Tequesta
Baptist Church located at 423 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta Florida.
Background:
The proposed modifications to the First Baptist Church in Tequesta will require a special exception and site plan
review applications. Based on the direction of the Tequesta Planning and Zoning Department, the special
exception and site plan applications will be reviewed concurrently. Per Sec. 78-173, place of assembly is a
special exception use in the R-1 Zoning District and daycares are permitted accessory uses to such use.
The existing building is currently approved as an Assembly Occupancy. Tequesta Baptist Church will now be
using portions of the building as a Pre -Kindergarten facility. These areas include portions of both the first and
second floors. This will require a change of use to an Educational Occupancy.
Approach:
The project scope of work and property modifications will be completed in one single phase. It is the intensions
of the Tequesta Baptist Church to obtain approval for this project under the current and the Site Plan Review
application as submitted herein.
The scope of the project modifications shall be as follows:
• Design and Create a New Outdoor Courtyard Area
• Design and Create a New Outdoor Playground Area for the Pre -School Students
• Design and Create a New Entrance Driveway and Drop -Off Area
• Design and Enclose the Existing Porte-Cochere
• Design and Remodel Selected Interiors

Agenda Item #9.
Site Modification and Limited Interior Renovations:
For the purposes of this application for a special exception and a site plan review, the following site modifications
and limited building interior renovations are proposed:
Design and Create a New Outdoor Courtyard Area: This area shall be located near the existing
sanctuary entrance. The new courtyard will provide seating areas and easy access to the existing
sanctuary entrance.
This new courtyard has been designed as a gathering space for those attending church. This area is
enclosed mainly by landscaping, low architectural elements (built-in benches and low wall) and a
defined hardscape (courtyard tiles) area. Refer to plans and renderings for more information.
A new covered walkway will be added, connecting the drop-off area, the new gathering courtyard and
main building entries to the east. This will provide some protection from the elements in that specific
area.
Design and Create a New Outdoor Playground Area for the Pre -School Students: The playground
area shall be located directly adjacent to the entrance to the educational area of the first floor. The
educational areas are delineated and shown on the site plan drawing.
The new playground area has been designed to provide a protected fenced -in area (6 feet high) for new
pre-school students. The area will also be enclosed by landscaping (Refer to landscaping plans.)
3. Design and Create a New Entrance Driveway: In order to accommodate the above -mentioned
courtyard and playground areas, the existing main entrance driveway will be modified as shown on the
site plan drawing. The reconfigured driveway will include the following:
a. Existing driveway travel path will change, therefore achieving a better traffic flow.
b. The driveway will become slightly wider to achieve the 15-0" mark.
c. The existing point of entry will be replaced with landscaping area, the exit to the site from Tequesta
Drive remains in place, turning radii finessed for smoother transition.
d. Existing traffic flow remains unaltered (one-way).
e. A new sidewalk is included to connect to existing pathway in order to create pedestrian access.
f. Existing handicap striping on asphalt to be re -painted and corrected to meet code.
g. Existing sign and flagpole will be relocated at a location within allowable setbacks.
h. New pedestrian area will be created alongside driveway and in front of the existing building
footprint. Such area will have a simple mix of hard surfaces and landscaping. (Refer to renderings)
Selected portions of greenspace in this area will be reshaped to accommodate the new driveway,
pedestrian walkways and other patio areas.
The areas directly adjacent to and impacted by these site modifications will be landscaped as illustrated
on landscaping drawings. In the location of landscape areas within the scope of work, a Landscape
Architect provided plans to ensure proper pervious selections and to comply with local standards.

4. Design and Enclose the Existing Porte-Cochere: This project includes selected interior modifications
to the existing building, specifically to the exterior open porte-cochere. This open area shall be enclosed
to increase the size of the interior lobby area.
5. Design and Remodel Selected Interiors:
Although there are no definitive programming measures defined at this time, Tequesta Baptist Church
will be renovating selected portions of the building interior. For the purposes of describing the future
scope of work proposed for this property, the following information is hereby provided:
Selected portion of the Main Lobby will be renovated. This will include new interior finishes and a
new stairway to the balcony area.
Selected portions of the Daycare area will be renovated. This may include the addition of one (1)
toddler restroom.
Pursuant to the requirements of the current Florida Health Department survey dated June 1, 2022,
certain plumbing upgrades, including a child size toilet may be required.
c. A new alarm/detection/sprinkler system will be added to the educational portion of the existing
building. This will include the portions of the first and second floor, currently redefined as a new
Educational Occupancy. See the plan or the designated areas.
Pursuant to the requirements of the current Florida Fire Prevention Code NFPA 101 Ch 43.7.2.1 which
notes that changing from an Assembly to Educational Occupancy will necessitate meeting the existing
educational occupancy chapter requirements, as well as new educational occupancy requirements for
alarm/detection/sprinkler systems. A new fire sprinkler system will be installed within the educational
portion of the building only as mandated by the Tequesta Fire Department.

4. Nuisance factors detrimental to adjacent and nearby properties and the village as a whole.
Nuisance factors shall include but not necessarily be limited to noise, odor, smoke, glare,
electrical interference and/or mechanical vibrations.
Answer:
Not applicable to this project.
5. Utilities, with reference to location, availability and compatibility.
Answer:
See Survey for reference
6. Screening and buffering, with reference to type, dimensions and character.
Answer:
Landscape Architect has been hired to address screening and buffering. Plans available with Site Plan
Review package.
7. General compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district.
Answer:
The project will be compatible as no significant changes to the main building will happen other than the
enclosure of the existing driveway to become a new entry hall. Materials and colors will match existing.
8. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the village.
Answer:
Project will remain to scale as footprint remains unaltered. The majority of the changes are of site level
and landscaping in nature. The new outdoors areas will be defined; a fence to protect the kids'
playground area and site improvements/landscaping for the new courtyard.
9. Any special requirements set out in the schedule of site regulations in section 78-143 for the
particular use involved.
Answer:
As per section 78-143 "Schedule of Site Requirements", the project meets all setbacks required by the
Village of Tequesta. Existing open landscape is currently below the 30% threshold at 23.75%. Our site
modification improves the site to 24.63%.
