MEMORANDUM:
TO: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager
FROM: Scott D. Ladd, Building Official
DATE: May 6, 1993
SUBJECT: Ten ( 10) proposed ordinances effecting changes and additions
to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Ord. No. 355, as
amended.
. Tom, attached are the originals of ten proposed ordinances that will
make certain changes and/or additions to various sections and
subsections of the Zoning Code. The proposed ordinances have been
grouped together in order to reduce the cost of advertising ordinances
that affect the Zoning Code, in that proposed changes to the Zoning
Code must be advertised twice in a daily paper utilizing a quarter
page ad with a map of the Village.
In order to more fully understand the intent with regard to the
promulgation of the ten proposed ordinances, I offer a brief summary.
statement of intent for each of the proposed ordinances as follows:
A. Section X, Supplemental Regulations: This proposed ordinance
amends Subsection ( H) , Landscaping, at paragraph ( 2)( c)2. ,
�ko Residential areas, by adding certain minimum requirements for
single—family and duplex lots within the R-1, R-1A and R-2 zoning
QNit �1 districts, i. e. :
)e 1c requires the xeriscape landscape concept, with a minimum of
��lQt 60% native landscaping;
,asp o requires a minimum of 30% open space to be landscaped with
r3 •
sod or grass;
o requires automatic irrigation facilities and moisture
control devices for landscaped and planted areas.
There currently are no minimum landscape requirements in these
districts.
•
This proposed ordinance also amends paragraph. 14. , Prohibited
landscaping, by adding additional species to the current list as
set forth in Palm Beach County' s most recent list. Palm Beach
County and the South Florida Water Management District have been
the lead agencies in a cooperative effort to update the prohibited
species list throughout Palm Beach County.

B. Section XVI, Uniform Waterway Control: This proposed ordinance
has been promulgated at the request of certain citizens and home
owner association members . residing in Country Club Point
Subdivision. A review of the Zoning Code, Ord. 319, as amended,
in effect from March, 1984 until August, 1987, indicated that the
subsections set forth in this proposed ordinance, were in fact,
O�JP�� included in Ord. 319, as amended. Then when the Village
promulgated Ord. 355 in August of 1987 these subsections were
inadvertently deleted. There apparently is no clearly stated
reason for the deletion, so it appears to be a Scribners error.
C. Section X, Supplemental Regulations: This proposed ordinance was
promulgated at the request of the Village Manager to disallow
walls or fences forward of the building front ( exterior wall of a
cue' building) , as opposed to the front building line ( minimum required
�� I\ setback) as the Ordinance currently reads, on any lot or parcel.
1� • The proposed ordinance amends Subsection ( A)( 1)( c) .
D. Section X, Supplemental Regulations: This proposed ordinance
amends Subsection ( H), Landscaping, at paragraph ( 2)( c)9. , Tree
protection; and Subsection ( Q) , Utility Services, by adding a new
paragraph ( 3) providing that public works projects and facilities
shall not disturb mangrove areas within the Village.
��� Section XV, Flood Hazard Areas: This proposed ordinance also
�AD amends Subsection ( J) , Coastal High Hazard Area, at paragraph ( 1) ,
and amends paragraph ( 2) by adding a new sub-paragraph ( o) which
may prohibit residential development and/or redevelopment within
the coastal high hazard areas of the Village.
All of these proposed changes are as a result of certain
Objectives and Policies of the Village' s adopted Comprehensive
Development Plan. The Objectives and/or Policies are as follows:
Conservation Element Objective 1. 5. 0; Coastal Management Element
Policy 3. 3. 1, Objective 5. 4. 0 and Policy 6. 1. 2, and Housing
Element Policy 1. 1. 2.
E. Section VII, Schedule and Application of Regulations: This
proposed ordinance amends Subsection ( D), paragraphs ( 1)( d),
( 2)( d) and ( 3)( d), Special exceptions, by adding three ( 3) new
special exception uses ( day care facilities, foster care
04oe/ facilities and group homes) that we have already included in
Section IV, Definitions but that have not been included within
the residential districts per the Comp Plan Housing Element Policy
1. 4. 2 to do so.

F. Sections VII, X, XII and XIV: This proposed ordinance is a
housekeeping ordinance. Over the past several years, as changes
and amendments have been made to the Zoning Code, certain
omissions, inconsistencies,, duplications and conflicts within the
Code have evolved. This proposed ordinance has been promulgated
in order to address these items. The areas being addressed are as
follows:
Sections VII and X: The Code contained two sets of regulations
with regard to full service fuel or gas stations. One set was
within Section VII and the other within Section X. Many of the
requirements were in conflict and it was confusing, at best, for a
code user to determine which requirements to use. This is being
corrected by setting forth the requirements for full service fuel
1Ot W stations or gas stations in the special exception use sections of
4( e the C-2 and C-3 zoning districts and by deleting the requirements
for full service fuel stations or gas stations from Section X.
OW Section Sect ion X: Subsection ( M) , Site Plan Review, needs to be amended
CL in order to provide a more efficient and usable process and also
by adding language regarding developers agreements.
Section XII: Subsection ( J) , paragraph ( 2) , of the Sign Code
needs to be amended to add signage regulations for churches
located within residential districts as the current code and all
previous sign codes have never provided for the allowance of signs
for churches that are located in the residential districts. Signs
for churches located within the C-2 commercial district are
covered by the code by virtue of the signage requirements set
forth for all properties located within that district.
Section XII: Subsection ( K), paragraph ( 2), of the Sign Code is
proposed to be amended in order to provide for shopping center
identification free-standing signs in addition to the free-
standing signs currently allowed within the commercial districts.
Section XIV: Subsection ( A) , paragraph ( 8) of the nonconforming
use criteria of the Zoning Code is proposed to be amended in order
to further clarify that variances from the Board of Adjustment are
not required for replacement screen enclosures under certain
circumstances.
G. Section XII: Subsection (M), Paragraph ( 1), of the Sign Code is
proposed to be amended in order to provide for "off-site"
temporary subdivision signs under certain conditions and subject
ao� to CAB, Building Official and Village Council approval. This
p �i�/ draft ordinance was prepared by the Village Attorney as a direct
I' result of a request for consideration of this proposal by Gary Van
Brock due to the inability to market Cypress Ridge Subdivision.

H. Section IX-A: Section IX-A, Planned Commercial Development is
tproposed to be amended in order to allow for a residential density
of eighteen ( 18) dwelling units per acre, in lieu of twelve ( 12)
�sy dwelling units per acre that is currently, allowed. This draft
��� ,1�i1 ordinance was prepared by the Village Attorney as a result of the
5� recommendation of the Downtown Task Force at their February 19,
1993. meeting.
I. This proposed Ordinance amends the Official Zoning Map of the
Village of Tequesta by changing a certain parcel from R-1, single-
family to R-2, multiple-family. This change is being made in
order . to comply with Sect ion V( E) & ( F) of the adopted
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Tequesta. and as a
„ result of the recent Comprehensive Plan amendment adopted by
Ordinance 446 and found in compliance by DCA on March 18, 1993.
0.,/*# The Ordinance changes the zoning district category on the Armour
property at Tequesta Drive and Pine Tree Drive so that the
Armour' s can seek approval for a proposed ten ( 10) unit townhouse
complex.
J. This proposed Ordinance amends Section XII, Sign Regulations at
Subsection ( J) , General Requirements . and Subsection ( L) ,
Exemptions, by allowing for the placement of realty open house
signs within the Village. One such open house sign per dwelling
unit listed for sale may be installed on the same block as the
listed house on Sundays only and during daylight hours only. Open
Q` i house signs shall be exempt from any Village permitting
1 ' � �Q,� - requirements and cannot exceed two ( 2) square feet in area. This
change was recommended by the Finance and Administration Committee
in response to a request of the Board of Realtors.
