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 Page 516 of 735 Agenda Item #14. neighborhood shares this designation, making R-1 the most suitable zoning designation upon annexation of the property. Planning and Zoning Board Meeting At their September 18, 2025, meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board sitting as the Local Planning Agency voted 5-0 to recommend approval of Ordinance 10-25.

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 522 of 735 Agenda Item #14. 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.

Village of Tequesta 345 Tequesta Drive 561-768-0700 Tequesta, FL 33469 www.tequesta.org Annexation Report Prepared in accordance with Florida Statutes §171.042 Municipality: Village of Tequesta Proposed Annexation Area: Hawk's Cove Date: May 16, 2025 1. Introduction This annexation report is prepared pursuant to Section 171.042, Florida Statutes, which requires a municipality proposing the annexation of unincorporated territory to prepare a report addressing the plan for extending municipal services and the impact of annexation. 2. Description of the Area to be Annexed • Location: The area proposed for annexation lies on Riverside Drive, between County Line Road and Tequesta Drive in unincorporated Palm Beach County, Florida. • PCN: 00-42-40-25-00-000-1230 • Size: Approximately 2.1271 acres • Current Land Use: Vacant with approved site plan for 8 single-family homes • Future Land Use Designation (County): Residential, Low Density • Proposed Land Use Designation (City): Low Density Residential Map and legal description attached as Exhibit A. 3. Rationale for Annexation Future Land Use Element Objective 1.15.0 of the Village of Tequesta Comprehensive Plan states: "The Village should consider annexation of neighboring areas that are consistent with the Page 524 of 735 Agenda Item #14. 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." The proposed annexation will result in a development that is consistent with the low-density residential character of the Village and with the abutting residential neighborhood that is already located in the Tequesta municipal boundary. The subject property has already been approved for an 8-unit subdivision by Palm Beach County (Exhibit B). The Village has more than adequate capacity to accommodate eight single-family homes in that location. Finally, the proposed property is located within area C of Tequesta's Map of Potential Annexation Areas (Exhibit Q. This has been adopted in the Village's Comprehensive Plan Map Series. 4. Service Plan A. Police Protection Police protection will be provided by the Village of Tequesta Police Department, including patrol and emergency response services. Coverage can be handled by existing personnel with no impact on response times. B. Fire & Emergency Medical Services Fire and EMS will be provided by the Village of Tequesta Fire Department. No new stations are required. The Tequesta Fire Station is 1 mile from the annexed area. Coverage can be handled by existing personnel with no impact on response times. C. Water & Sewer Services The Village currently provides water service to the area surrounding the subject property. The proposed 8-unit subdivision may connect to existing water lines. On May 3, 2024, The Village provided a Water Service Availability letter to Palm Beach County, confirming that the subject property is located within the Village's potable water utility service area and that there is adequate capacity to serve any potential development there. The letter also shows the location of the 8-inch pipe that currently serves the property (Exhibit D). Sewer service is provided by the Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District, who provide coverage for the surrounding area. Attached is a copy of the Palm Beach County Potable Water and Wastewater Map, which shows that the subject property is located within the Village of Tequesta Water Service Area and Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District (Wastewater) Utility Service Area. (Exhibit E). D. Solid Waste Collection Solid waste services will be handled by Waste Management, the Village's current waste collector. There are no capacity shortages. Page 2 of 3 Page 525 of 735 Agenda Item #14. 5. Eligibility For Annexation The annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes section 171.043. The subject property is contiguous to the Village of Tequesta municipal boundary and is reasonably compact. No portion of the property is within another incorporated municipality. 6. Conclusion The proposed annexation is consistent with the Village of Tequesta's Comprehensive Plan and with Florida Statutes section 171.043. The annexation will enable Tequesta to provide efficient service delivery and promotes the logical expansion of the Village's boundaries. There will be no additional cost to provide services to the subject property. The Village is committed to ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining high-quality services for all residents.

This letter confirms that the referenced property is located within the Village of Tequesta's (Village) potable water utility service area.The Village's public water system has the capacity to serve the existing development, but based on the final design, any redevelopment may require offsite improvements to serve the proposed development. A GIS figure of the known Village infrastructure asbuilt and is attached for your reference. The piping depicted is pictorial in nature only and may not be in the exact locations or sizes shown. Our team researched the pipe and found that an 8-inch class 150 asbestos-cement (AC) pipe currently serves the property. The Village does not own or provide wastewater service to your site. The sanitary sewer (wastewater) infrastructure is owned and operated by the Loxahatchee River Environmental District, often referred to as "LRD." Please note that this letter does not constitute a commitment for service until a developer agreement with the Village has been fully executed and any required fees or charges are paid.
