SPM-1-24: Application from 236 US Highway One LLC for a Minor Site Plan Modification for new
paint colors on an existing 3,544 square foot building in the C-2 Zoning District.
The building at 236 US Highway 1 was previously operated as Park Avenue BBQ Grille and Lou's Bar & Grill.
The building is now occupied by Bunk House Coffee Bar and Adventure Sports Jupiter. These are considered
permitted uses in the C-2 Zoning District and were able to open in the building without site plan approval,
since no site or exterior building modifications were made. The new tenants would like to paint the building to
better match their businesses.
The applicant's request to repaint the existing building requires a minor site plan modification per Section 22-
53 (b), which enables the Planning and Zoning Board to grant final approval on "aesthetic modifications to
exterior building color or finish when not accompanied by any other site plan modification."

4. BACKGROUND
The site was previously operated as Park Avenue BBQ Grille and Lou's Bar & Grill. In June 2017,
the Planning and Zoning Board approved improvements such as landscape and aesthetic changes
for Lou's Bar& Grill. Subsequently, in September 2017, the Planning and Zoning Board approved
a site plan modification to install a 325 sq. ft. tiki hut. Most recently, in November 2021, Lou's
Bar & Grill was granted approval to change the building's aesthetics, including the type of door,
colors of the roof, trim, and walls; as well as landscaping updates and changes to the 656 square
foot paver deck fronting US Highway 1.

Agenda Item #2.
The building is now occupied by Bunk House Coffee Bar and Adventure Sports Jupiter. These are
considered permitted uses in the C-2 Zoning District and were able to open in the building
without site plan approval, since no site or exterior building modifications were made. The new
tenants would like to paint the building to better match their businesses. The applicant is
proposing a three tone color scheme with paint from Benjamin Moore. The main color will be
Galt Blue, with Antiqued Aqua banding, and the roof painted Ice Mist.

7. SITE PLAN REVIEW
The applicant's request to repaint the existing building requires a minor site plan modification
per Section 22-53 (b), which enables the Planning and Zoning Board to grant final approval on
"aesthetic modifications to exterior building color or finish when not accompanied by any other
site plan modification." Section 22-82 lists general requirements relative to site plan review. The
Planning and Zoning Board shall apply the following general requirements:
"The general requirements are minimum aesthetic standards for all site development,
buildings, structures, or alterations within the village except in districts R-1A and R-1. It is
required that site development, buildings or alterations, with the sole exception of districts R-
1A and R-1, show proper design concept, express honest design construction and be

appropriate to the surroundings." The below code sections are relevant criteria to this
application.
(1) Harmony with other buildings. Buildings or structures which area part of a present or future
group or complex shall have a unity of character and design, and a relationship of forms, and
the use, texture and color of materials shall be such as to create an harmonious whole. When
the area involved forms an integral part of, is immediately adjacent to or otherwise clearly
affects the future of any established section of the village, the design and location on the site
shall enhance rather than detract from the character, value, and attractiveness of the
surroundings.
(2) Harmony with surroundings. Buildings or structures located along strips of land or on single
sites and not a part of a unified multibuilding complex shall strive to achieve visual harmony
with the surroundings. If they are built in undeveloped areas, the three primary requirements
shall be met: express honest design construction, show proper design concepts, and be
appropriate to the village.
(3) Facades. All facades visible to public or adjacent property shall be designed to create a
harmonious whole. Materials shall express their function clearly and not appear as a material
foreign to the rest of the building.
(4) Methods of harmonious design. It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike or be
of the same style to be harmonious. Harmony can be achieved through the proper
consideration of proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and color.
(7) Inappropriate building styles. Buildings of a style or style type foreign to South Florida
and/or its climate will not be allowed. It is also to be understood that buildings, even though
they have a historical significance to South Florida, that do not conform to the existing or to
the evolving atmosphere of the village will not be approved.
(8) Garish design. Building surfaces, walls and roofs that are considered garish by the board will
be denied approval.
Department of Community Development
Agenda Item #2.
(10) Exterior forms. All exterior forms, attached or not attached to buildings, shall be in
conformity to and secondary to the building. They shall be an asset both to the aesthetics of
the site and to the neighborhood.
(13) Use of symbolic colors; exterior storage and display of merchandise. The following are
added criteria that pertain to but are not limited to gasoline stations. Symbolic colors of the
exterior facades or roofs may not be used unless they are harmonious with the atmosphere of
the neighborhood. For example, royal blue, which symbolizes a brand of gasoline and other
establishments, would not be acceptable in most cases. Exterior display of goods for sale or
those designating a service will not be allowed, except that a gasoline station's display of goods
and tools of a service may be displayed on the pump island, provided that the island is not
considered by the board to be enlarged to take advantage of this provision, and provided that
the goods and tools be such that they can be used or installed at the island. For example, an oil
rack is acceptable, but a tire display is not. Areas used to store materials such as mufflers,tires,
packing crates or cases, refuse and garbage shall be screened from adjacent property and from
the public view.
8. FINAL REMARKS
This development application met the requirements set of Section 78-334 (Notice of Hearing).
The notice of hearing was advertised in the Palm Beach Post on February S, 2023. Per Village
Code Section 78-334, the Applicant posted the subject property with a public notice sign.
If the Planning and Zoning Board finds that the proposed color scheme is consistent with the
aesthetic standards within Section 22-82, it shall vote to approve the proposed Minor Site Plan
Modification.
