BACKGROUND The subject property is owned by the Village and was historically operated as a fire station called Station 11. The building was originally constructed in 1978 and ceased to be used as a fire station in recent years. It has since been used for storage and overflow office space for the Village. Due to severe office space shortages at Village Hall, the Building Department is working to renovate the Station 11 building to be able to relocate building inspectors and code enforcement to the building. The Police Department will also utilize the building for training and storage. Department of Community Development pg. ? Page 10 of 162 Agenda Item #2. The proposed renovation includes comprehensive interior upgrades required to bring the building into compliance with the Florida Building Code. These improvements include updated office layouts, accessibility upgrades, and modernization of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The Village also proposes several exterior enhancements to improve the building's visual character and ensure consistency with surrounding civic structures. These improvements include installation of a new standing seam metal roof designed to screen rooftop mechanical equipment, application of decorative stone accents along the building's facades featuring Village of Tequesta branding, repainting of the building exterior, and repainting of the roll-up doors. 6. UPDATES TO ARCHITECTURE At the August Planning & Zoning Board meeting, staff presented the architect's original exterior design for the building renovation. During that discussion, staff noted that the Board and Village Council may prefer a color palette that more closely aligns with the nearby Recreation Center, which features a gray metal roof and blue architectural accents. Staff further suggested that painting the roll-up doors blue—rather than the originally proposed gray—may enhance compatibility between the two civic facilities and contribute to a more cohesive municipal architectural identity. The Planning & Zoning Board requested that staff return with additional concept renderings illustrating alternatives to the original design, including enhanced landscaping and an optional color scheme incorporating blue roll-up doors. In response, the Village prepared three updated visualizations: • Figure 1: Original architectural design as previously presented. • Figure 2: Original design with enhanced landscape treatments added. • Figure 3: Alternative architectural design featuring blue roll-up doors and full landscape enhancements. Department of Community Development Page 11 of 162 Agenda Item #2. These renderings are intended to assist the Board in evaluating which architectural approach best complements adjacent Village facilities and improves the structure's overall appearance. 7. LANDSCAPE PLAN A new landscape plan has been developed to significantly enhance the aesthetics and buffering of the site. The existing landscape buffer along Seabrook Drive is currently underdeveloped and does not provide adequate visual screening. To address this, the proposed plan introduces a layered landscape treatment including cocoplum hedge material, two silver buttonwood trees, a Geiger tree, and emerald blanket groundcover. All existing Live Oaks within the right-of-way will be preserved. The Village's adopted Mobility Plan identifies a future 10-12-foot shared-use path along Seabrook Road. The proposed landscape design has been intentionally configured to maintain adequate space for installation of at least a 10-foot path in the future without requiring the removal of new plantings. Additional landscape improvements involve the installation of three new sabal palms near the building's roll-up doors to soften the appearance of these functional elements and enhance the architectural design. Clusia hedges are proposed along the southern property boundary, while cocoplum hedges will be installed along the northern boundary. The plant spacing and layout along the northern edge of the site have been designed to accommodate the Village's potential future installation of parallel parking spaces along Shay Place.

VILLAGE RECREATION CENTER REG Nam ,1 AW Figure 5:Village of Tequesta Recreation Center at 399 Seabrook Road 11, SITE PLAN REVIEW The proposed exterior modifications require a site plan modification per Section 22-53 (a), which provides the Planning and Zoning Board to provide recommendation to Village Council regarding site plan review or site plan modification including aesthetic review in accordance with requirements of article IX, division 2.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. Department of Community Development Page 15 of 162 Agenda Item #2. (1) Harmony with other buildings. Buildings or structures which are a 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 pg.8 Page 16 of 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. 12. FINAL REMARKS This development application met the requirements set of Section 78-334 (Notice of Hearing). The notice of hearing was advertised in the Public Notice Portal on November 01, 2025. Per Village Code Section 78-334, the Applicant posted the subject property with a public notice sign August 7, 2025. If the Planning and Zoning Board finds that the proposed site plan modification is consistent with the standards within Section 22-82, it shall vote to provide recommendation of the Site Plan Modification to Village Council. The recommendation shall include the preferred version of the proposed architecture. Department of Community Development pg. 9 Page 17 of Agenda Item#2.
