Background
In April 2025, Village staff met with Amy and Rob Swan, owners of the property located at
19245 North Riverside Drive, a parcel in unincorporated Palm Beach County that is bordered on
three sides by the Village's municipal boundaries. The property is identified as part of
Annexation Area C in the Village's Potential Annexation Area Map, which is incorporated into
the Comprehensive Plan.
The property has a site plan that was approved by Palm Beach County on March 4, 2025. The
site plan contains eight single family lots, a small passive park, and a dry retention area. The

Swans indicated that the site plan approval process with Palm Beach County was lengthy and
costly. As such, they did not want to have to go through the process again if they opted to
annex into the Village.
Village staff, in consultation with the Village Attorney, confirmed that the existing site plan was
able to be adopted as part of the annexation process. The approved site plan had 3.75 units per
acre, which is below the Village's allowed residential density of 5.4 units per acre in the low-
density residential district.
The Swan's submitted a petition for voluntary annexation into the Village in May 2025. The
annexation was finalized at the August 12, 2025, Village Council meeting, which included the
adoption of the previously approved site plan. The Village must now assign Future Land Use and
Zoning designations to the property.

Zoning Designation
The subject property is located along Riverside Drive, immediately north of a Village-owned dry
retention area planned as Phase 3 of Remembrance Park. To the north and east lies the
Tequesta Pines subdivision, which is in the R-1 Single Family Zoning Use district. Much of the
surrounding neighborhood shares this designation, making R-1 the most suitable zoning
designation upon annexation of the property.
Department of Community Development pg. 2
Page 110 of 131
Agenda Item #5.
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning designation is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan goals,
policies, and objectives:
Future Land Use Objective 1.15.0: The Village should consider annexation of neighboring areas
that are consistent with the character of the community, which can be provided facilities and
services consistent with the levels of service standards established by the Village, and which
discourage urban sprawl.
Future Land Use Policy 1.15.2: Annexation of unincorporated enclave areas shall be pursued
consistent with Florida Statutes ensuring the provision of Village services.
Future Land Use Policy: 1.3.2: Maintain the quality of existing single family neighborhoods by
prohibiting commercial and high density residential development in these areas.
Summary
The proposed zoning designation is compatible with surrounding residential uses and supports
the Village's adopted annexation policies. By designating the subject property R-1, the Village
will maintain the character of adjacent neighborhoods, ensure consistency with the approved
site plan, and advance Comprehensive Plan objectives for managed growth.
If the Local Planning Agency finds that the proposed Rezoning is compatible with adjacent
development and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, it shall recommend approval to the
Village Council.
