Date: September 21, 2023
Ref.: Ordinance 12-23 — Addition of Private Museum Use to the C-3 Zoning District
In July 2023, the Applicant submitted a Zoning Text Amendment Petition to allow "private car museums"
into the C-3 Zoning District as a special exception use. The subject property is located at 358 Cypress Drive.
The existing building was constructed in 1970, and has been used as an automotive repair establishment
providing paint and bodywork services.
Please see the enclosed list of the current permitted uses in the C-3 Zoning District. The General Commercial
Zoning District (C-3) includes parcels on Cypress Drive and Old Dixie Highway as shown on the below map:

C,HJVHRAL C0AfMF-RC'IA1-. D1.'i TIRLCT
On January 12, 2023, Mr. Donaldson Hearing (President of Cotleur and Hearing) presented to the Village
Council a conceptual plan for a private car museum at the subject property. In February 2023, the property
was acquired by SOUTH CYPRESS PROPERTIES LLC.

Agenda Item #3.
Per the Applicant, the facility will include the following memorabilia, art, and sculptures:
• Models/photos of jets/helicopters owned to include Citation X, Citation 04, King Air 350,
and Airbus H145 Helicopter
• Models/photos of sportfishing yachts owned to include 74' Spencer and 80' Spencer
• Sportfishing trophies from tournament fishing around the world
• Automotive art from Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg,
Mercedes, Jaguar
• Military memorabilia.
The maximum number of luxury automobiles will be 10-12, which will contain some fuel, generally
a minimal amount to drive the vehicles in and out of the building periodically. The entire space will
be equipped with cameras, alarms, and sprinklers.
There will be no full-time employees at the site but there will be an employee that comes in and
out to monitor the vehicles and property. There will be no fixed hours of operation. Signage will
be minimal and most likely limited to the street address number.
The Applicant has also provided a preliminary site plan and floor plan as a reference to their future
improvements, please see enclosed.
Per Village Code Sec. 78-4, the current definition for museums is as follows, "Museum means a nonprofit
noncommercial establishment operated as a repository or a collection of nature, scientific, or literary
curiosities or objects of interest or works of art, not including the regular sale or distribution of the objects
collected."
The Applicant is proposing the following definition to incorporate the private car museum into the Village
Code: "Museum -Private Car means a specialized facility or space owned by an individual or organization
that exhibits a collection of automobiles, memorabilia, art, sculpture, and other collectibles such as art
and sculpture. The space may include an accessory office and be used occasionally for small events and
philanthropic purposes."
However, after reviewing the application, Staff has included the following definition for private museums in
Ordinance 12-23, rather than private car museums, "Private Museum means a building used as a private
display space for a personal collection of automobiles, art, or other memorabilia. The use of the space
shall be private and not open to the public."
Per Village Code Sec. 78-705 (19), the parking requirement for museums, art galleries, and theatres is as
follows: "(19) Museum, art gallery, theatre: One space per four seats in rooms for public assembly or for
each 200 square feet of gross floor area for use by the public, whichever is greater."
The existing parking code does Not contemplate the proposed private museum use. The Applicant is
proposing the following parking requirements, "One space for each 500 square feet of display area, plus
one space per 250 square feet of business office/ancillary area."

Updated: September 07, 2023
Property Location: 358 South Cypress Drive Tequesta, Florida 33469
Property Control Number: 60-43-40-30-03-001-0050
PROJECT INFORMATION'
Nate Albers, Principal of South Cypress Drive Properties, LLC, is the owner of a 0.4-acre property
located at 358 South Cypress Drive in Tequesta, Florida. The property is east of Cypress Drive
and directly adjacent to the FEC Railroad. The site is within the Village's C-3 General Commercial
Zoning District and contains a 6,350 square foot building.
The building, constructed in 1970, 52 years ago is in need of cosmetic care. The building is
currently occupied by an auto repair establishment providing paint and bodywork services. There
have been multiple Code Enforcement Violations issued in connection with the property's existing
conditions and operation. Vehicles in various states of disrepair can be seen in virtually every
parking space. To say the least, the existing conditions are not indicative of the image of the
Village of Tequesta.
PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS
Mr. Albers intends to renovate the property by improving the architectural fagade, increasing
green space, and enhancing landscape areas, replacing the roof and replacing the existing lift
station. The award -winning architectural firm Birse Thomas, located in Palm Beach Gardens, has
been hired to redesign the existing fagade. Cotleur & Hearing will evaluate opportunities for
additional green space and develop a landscape plan to complement the proposed architectural
design. Interior improvements will also be implemented and are identified within the floor plan
provided.
PROPOSED USle
Mr. Albers proposes to utilize the building as a small personal office and display space for his
personal collection of automobiles, art, and other memorabilia. The use of the space will be private
and will not be open to the public. On a limited basis Mr. Albers anticipates using the space for
small philanthropic fundraisers and invitation only showings. Special Events, if proposed, will be
conducted in strict compliance with the Village of Tequesta regulations. The space will also
feature flight and golf simulators for personal use.

The memorabilia, art and sculptures will be a limited amount to be utilized mostly as decor for the
space and display pieces. The interior design will be open and airy with clean lines and will not
be cluttered.
consist of the following:
Models/photos of jets/helicopters owned to include Citation X, Citation CJ41 King Air 350,
and Airbus H145 Helicopter
Models/photos of sportfishing yachts owned to include 74' Spencer and 80' Spencer
Sportfishing trophies from tournament fishing around the world
Automotive art from Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Aston Martin,
Koenigsegg, Mercedes, Jaguar
Military memorabilia.
The maximum number of luxury automobiles will be 10-12 to include Bentley, Rolls Royce,
Lamborghini, Bugatti, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, Mercedes, Jaguar. The vehicles will contain
some fuel, generally a minimal amount to drive the vehicles in and out of the building
periodically. The entire space will be equipped with cameras, alarms, and sprinklers.
There will be no full-time employees at the site but there will be an employee that comes in and
out to monitor the vehicles and property. There will be no fixed hours of operation. Signage will
be minimal and most likely limited to the street address number.
Section 78-178 (b) of the Village Code identifies the permitted uses within the C-3 General
Commercial Zoning District. Auto Repair Establishments are listed as a permitted use however
the existing code does not identify a use that adequately describes the proposed use. After review
of the town code and as discussed during our conceptual review in January the applicant's
proposed use is best described as a "Private Car Museum"
SIMILAR USES
The occupancy of buildings for "Private Car Museums" has become common in Northern Palm
Beach County. These facilities are often constructed with a very high level of finish materials and
often themed, such as the Staluppi's Cars of Dreams Museum in North Palm Beach, which has a
Coney Island theme. There are several similar uses within the Jupiter Park of Commerce.
Based on our research most municipalities have classified this use as Indoor Storage which is
generally permitted within Industrial Districts, such as the Jupiter Park of Commerce. The Village
of Tequesta does not have formal industrial zoning districts. The C-3 General Commercial Zoning
District is the closest representation to an industrial zoning district as it permits Automotive Repair
Establishments, Gasoline Service Stations, and other similar uses.

Zoning Text Amendment
Updated September 07, 2023R
REQUEST
The applicant is requesting the following code amendments:
1. A Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) to the C-3 Zoning District Regulations Section 78-178
(d) to allow "Private Car Museum" (Museum -Private Car), not open to the public, as a
special exception (SE) use.
2. Inclusion of a definition for Museum — Private Car in Section 78-4.
3. Inclusion of an established parking ratio for this use "one space for each 500 square feet of
display area, plus one space per 250 square feet of business office/ancillary area".
4. Upon approval of the above requested Zoning Text Amendments the applicant intends on
seeking Special Exception approval for a Private Car Museum together with Site Plan
Review and approval for the proposed architectural and site modifications.
The proposed definition to be added to Section 78-4 of the Villages Code of Ordinances is
provided Below:
Museum -Private Car means a specialized facility or space owned by an individual or organization
that exhibits a collection of automobiles, memorabilia, art, sculpture, and other collectibles such
as art and sculpture. The space may include an accessory office and be used occasionally for
small events and philanthropic purposes
SUMMARY
In summary, the applicant desires to substantially improve an existing, deteriorated property for
personal use as a Private Car Museum. The applicant commits to work with the Village to upgrade
the property, including substantial architectural and landscape enhancements, with a focus on
the building's orientation to Cypress Drive. Additionally, the applicant commits to enhance the
landscape within the 50-foot-wide parcel of land contiguous to the eastern boundary of the site
and the FEC Railroad. Enclosed are conceptual site and architecture plans, as well as aerial and
ground level photos of the site.
