Attachment (draft)
Land Use
At the date of adoption of the present Comprehensive Development
Plan, a substantial portion of the land area in Tequesta had
already been developed. Nearly 80~ of the Village was developed
at that time. Since then, the Village has continued to develop
primarily through "fill-in" activity and partially through
annexation. As reported in the Annexation element, approximately
~0 acres of developed land have been added to the corporate area.
Section 163.3191(2)(a)
Tequesta has developed primarily as a residential community with
commercial development situated along major roadways,
recreation/open space (golf course and waterway) activities and
an interspersed mix of institutional, governmental, light
industry and other land use activities. Since adoption of the
Plan, the majority of development has been for residential pur-
poses. Single family remains the predominant type of housing in
Tequesta, and it represents the major type of development that
has occurred in Tequesta in recent years. There have been few
problems related to this development pattern. Physical
deterioration of the housing stock, business/commercial activi-
ties or other land uses has not been reported as a problem in the
Village. The social and economic impacts that have been created
• by development have been positive. The high quality of life,
aesthetic value, cultural and social impacts and economic con-
ditions have been maintained and improved in the 1980's. With a
relatively small portion of the Village remaining for develop-
ment, it is anticipated that positive growth trends and the high
quality of life will be sustained.
Section 163.3191(2)(b)
There have been no amendments or updates to the Land Use element
since adoption of the Comprehensive Development Plan. It should
be noted, however, that major revisions have been made to the
Village's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to further refine its
content with intent of the Plan. Updates to the zoning regula-
tions have been closely dovetailed with intended revisions to the
Land Use element to ensure compatibility of land development
regulations with anticipated land use decisions.
Section 163.3191(2)(c)
The Land Use element is the only element of the Plan that does
not have specific Goals, Objectives or Plan Recommendations
listed. Rather, Study Areas are established, and each of the
four (~) Study Areas are discussed in text with an explanation of
i
. anticipate growth patterns. The Land Use Map supplements the
text. It is utilized to officially set proposed land use activi-
ties as elaborated on in the text.
It is the intent of this Section to report on actual results of
anticipated development by Study Area.
Study Area 1: The peninsula area located at the western boun-
daries of Tequesta. That land area situated be-
tween the North and Northwest Forks of the
Loxahatchee River including the Tequesta Country ~, i ,.~i~`~
,/ Club area, Bay Harbor,~Anchorage Point/and , ~r. rA.. ,
excluding Bermuda Terrace (located in unincor-
porated Palm Beach County).
The primary growth directions established for this Study Area
were to preserve the single family dwelling unit as the primary
housing type and to preserve the recreation/open space amenities
of the Tequesta Country Club and public easements to the
Loxahatchee River. Both of these directives have been maintained
since adoption of the Plan.
Low density single family detached housing units have been the
only form of development that has occurred in this Study Area. A
number of single family lots have been built on in the Country
Club area since the Plan was adopted while there has been some
fill-in in the Bay Harbor and Shady Lane areas.
The covenants of the Country Club as explained in the text have
been maintained. Therefore, no changes or expansions have
occurred at the golf course area. Likewise, the public easements
have been maintained and no others have been acquired.
There has been no addition to the multiple family housing stock
in this area. Carriage House and Whitehall condominiums are the
only multiple family structures which are located on the western
shore of the North Fork of the Loxahatchee River.
There have been no other land use changes or expansions since
adoption of the Comprehensive Development Plan.
Study Area 2: That land area within the corporate limits that
extends from the east side of the North Fork of
the Loxahatchee River to the Florida East Coast
Railroad tracks. This area is the most complex
of all the Study Areas because every land use
activity, except high density residential, is
found within its boundaries.
All the area is typified by many land use activities; it is very
well integrated. The primary expansion to the area since adop-
tion of the Plan has been in residential development. The single
family development of Tequesta Pines has been the major contribu-
tor to the housing stock in this area. With over 200 subdivided
lots, only thirty-four (34) remain vacant at time of the most
recent survey. Chapel Court was recently annexed into the
Village which will eventually add thirty-eight (38) units.
Thirty-one (31) units have already been built.
Medium density development along Cypress Drive has added substan-
tially to the housing stock as well. Since adoption of the Plan,
Georgetown Phases I and II (32 units), Almont Villas (10 units)
and Cypress Villas (48 units) have been built or are currently
under construction, adding ninety (90) medium density units to
the housing stock.
•
-~ The other major land use consideration since adoption of the Plan
has revolved around the land area between Old Dixie Highway and
U.S. Highway from the north corporate limits to Tequesta Drive.
`>` A large portion of this area is vacant and available for develop-
~`'~ went. Through recent revisions to the Comprehensive Zoning
°` Ordinance, the Village has re-zoned this entire area to commer-
. ~,z,~~' cial. A substantial part ~f this area was previously zoned for
~' single family use. Althouffh little development has occurred in
this area since adoption, there has been pressure and demand for
commercial development in this area. There has been some limited
fill-in commercial development in other areas of Study Area 2.
It should be noted that Light Industry uses have been eliminated
in the revised zoning regulations. This designation should be
deleted in the revised land use plans and replaced appropriately.
The Village Hall and surrounding passive recreational, cultural,
social and retail activities continue to form the core of this
~ Study Area. A branch 1~-r3~ facility was recently constructed
on Old Dixie Highway north of~;Tequesta Drive to replace the old
postal facility. ' -~ F~ti
Development in Study Area ,F~ is p,~~'~Y well established either by
structure or approved plats. It is expected to remain as such.
Study Area 3: That land area within the Village between the
Florida East Coast Railroad and U.S. Highway 1
and those land areas located within Tequesta be-
tween U.S. Highway 1 and the Intracoastal
Waterway.
A major portion of this Study Area is to be devoted to commercial
development. Those land areas between the FEC Railroad tracks
and U.S. Highway 1 and the land on the east side of U.S. Highway
have, for the most part, been maintained as a commercial area.
Light industrial land uses were proposed for areas adjacent to the
FEC tracks. Recent revisions to the Village Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance have eliminated industrial zoning districts. It is
recommended that those areas currently shown on the Future Land
Use Map be revised to reflect commercial land use.
There has been some isolated commercial activities added in this
area. The most recent of which was by annexing the Lobster
Shanty property into Tequesta. Substantial modifications are
currently underway at the Pride Plaza property as well.
The major residential addition to Study Area 3 is Tequesta Cove.
Twenty-four (2~4) units will comprise this project.
The sixty (60) acre U.S. Government property located between U.S.
Highway 1 and the ICWW has been maintained and recently re-zoned
to R/OS to be consistent with the proposed recreation/open space
land use designation of the Future Land Use plan.
Projected plans for a cultural center and active park area have
not been realized, but should remain in the Plan as an alter-
native future plan.
A new Tequesta Post Office branch facility was recently
• constructed on the east side of Old Dixie Highway between
Tequesta Drive and County Line Road. This addition should be
reflected in the updated Comprehensive Development Plan.
Additionally, the land strip between the FEC tacks and Old Dixie
Highway should be designated recreation/open space in the revised
Plan, in lieu of its present light industry land use
classification.
The Governmental land uses remain in tact; those being the
wellfield areas at the very northern extremity of the Village
limits and that area between Old Dixie Highway and U.S. Highway 1
south of Bridge Road.
Study Area 4: This area lies between the Intracoastal Waterway
and the Atlantic Ocean. Known as the "island"
area, high density residential is the predominant
use in this Study Area.
Very little development activity has taken place on the island
since adoption of the Comprehensive Development Plan. The area
north of Blowing Rock Club has developed as medium density as
called for in the Plan (P.I.M.E. property). The only other change
to the island area has been the annexation of the JIB Club into
the Village. It is a high density development with nineteen (19)
dwelling units and a marina facility ~ ,.~,~~.
~;~f°--- ,v .
. In summary, the basic objectives of the Land Use element have
been maintained and implemented through development regulations.
The basic objectives of this element are to:
- Preserve the pleasant, essentially residential character
of the Village.
- Provide for a balance among residential, commercial ser-
vices, recreational, cultural and other land use aspects
of the Village.
- Blend with adjacent communities in order to avoid
incongruous use of contiguous land masses within and out-
side the Village.
More specific intents of the Plan have also been accomplished
since its adoption. Population growth and density have been
controlled through limited extension of medium density and high
density residential developments. Most residential growth has
been in single family units. The Community Characteristics ele-
ment of the revised, updated Plan reports that population growth
in Tequesta has been moderate in recent years.
The Recreation/Open Space and Commercial designations have
expanded as proposed. The recently revised zoning regulations
• have established a R/OS district to assure preservation of these
areas. The major expansion to commercial has been in that area
between Old Dixie Highway and U.S. Highway 1 north of
Tequesta Drive to the northern corporate limits. This area was
subject to detailed discussion and revision in workshops and
sessions when updating the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Areas
north of St. Judes Church in this area have been re-zoned to com-
mercial from single family residential to bring zoning into con-
formance with proposed land use.
The Plan also called for consideration to expansion of the
Village owned poroperty adjacent to Village Hall. Although this
has not been accomplished to date, plans for a passive park with
a fountain are currently under way. Development of this area is
being pursued through the private sector and local community and
civic groups.
With municipal vacant land available for future development
within existing corporate limits, the Village, for all intents
and purposes, has been developed out. Expansion to the Village
of Tequesta to its "natural boundaries" as defined by the Charter
has been achieved. There are areas adjacent to the Village that
are available for future annexation consideration that would be
compatible to existing development in Tequesta.
CJ
. Section 163.3191(2)(d)
Most of the alternative considerations, suggested changes, and
maintenance of proposed plans for the Village have been addressed
or implemented since adoption of the Plan. Therefore, there have
been few unanticipated or unforeseen problems and opportunities
regarding growth and development or the location of land uses
since adoption of the Comprehensive Development Plan. Recent
revisions to the Village Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance have
settled previous concerns of various areas in Tequesta.
The present Plan has an Appendices attached to the Land Use ele-
ment with appropriate correspondence from various entities which
document coordination of the element with affected jurisdictions.
It is recommended by this EAR that similar meetings and follow-up
documentation be accomplished as part of the revised, updated
Comprehensive Development Plan.
J
Economic/Fiscal
•
•
The Economic/Fiscal element establishes the economic assumptions
basic to formulating the Comprehensive Development Plan. The
element primarily addresses the budgetary process, budget struc-
ture and bonded indebtedness requirements of the Village. Socio-
economic characteristics of the Tequesta population are presented
in the Background element of the Plan.
Section 163.3191(2)(a)
The socio-economic impacts created by growth and development in
Tequesta have been adequately managed and pre-planned since adop-
tion of the Plan. Fiscal impacts of financing municipal
infrastructure and urban systems (i.e. water system, drainage
improvement, road works, etc.) have been absorbed through a com-
bination of local sources, intergovernmental transfers and revenue
bonds.
Tequesta's major growth occurred in the 1960's (the Village was
incorporated in 1957). Between 1960 and 1965, the Village popu-
lation grew more than five-fold. From 1965-1970, the rate of
growth was 105. Between 1970 and 1980, Tequesta continued to
grow at a declining rate, approximately 40~. The declining rate
of growth is primarily attributed to the natural stabilization of
the community. The physical boundaries of the Village have not
been substantially expanded. Fourteen (1~) annexations have
occurred since adoption of the Plan in 1979, however, this repre-
sents only 30 acres of expansion. Therefore, growth has resulted
primarily from development of vacant areas within the corporate
limits. Approximately 20~ of the Village land area was vacant
in 1979. Some of this vacant land has been developed in the
interim bringing Tequesta closer to built-out status.
The socio-economic strata of Village residents has remained high
and land/property values quadrupled in the 1970's. The current
year adjusted property (real and personal) tax value is
$216,022,015 which represents a 5.2~ increase over the previous
fiscal year 1983/8.
Major economic impacts of development relate to construction,
operation and maintenance of utilities and road systems. Much of
the front-end capital costs for drainage and transportation works
are absorbed by private interests (developers). However, opera-
tions and maintenance generally remains the responsibility of the
Village. Tequesta owns and operates its own water supply system.
Its service area includes Jupiter Inlet Colony and portions of
Jupiter, Palm Beach County, and Martin County as well. Even
though the Village receives substantial potable water from the
Jupiter Water System (per contractual arrangement) it is
• expanding and upgrading its own system (Reference Water System
element). Substantial costs has been incurred for operations and
maintenance of the existing system and extensive capital expen-
ditures are being incurred to expand the system.
The Village has been able to finance improvements either through
the issuance of revenue bonds or through accrued local funds.
This combination of funding so~zrces has enabled the Village to
absorb the socio-economic impacts of development while main-
taining a sound financial position.
Section 163.3191(2)(b)
There have been no updates or amendments to the Economic/Fiscal
element of the Plan since adoption in 1979. Socio-economic data
relating to this element needs to be updated for inclusion in the
proposed, revised Plan. This data is presented in the Background
element. The Objectives and Plan Recommendations need to be re-
structured and brought up-to-date to reflect current program
activities, as well.
Section 163.3191(2)(c)
The Village has striven toward the Economic/Fiscal Goal since
adoption of the Plan. They have maintained a program which pro-
vides for the necessary expenditures required to meet growth and
• development needs. One of the general requirements of the LGCPA
(Reference Chapter 163.2177(3), F.S.) emphasizes the need for
capital improvements planning based on economic assumptions
established in the Plan. The Objectives and Plan Recommendations
established in the element are aimed at addressing local econo-
mies of scale. The planning for capital improvements and expen-
ditures is heavily emphasized. The annual budgetary structure
and process, as well as major revenue sources and expenditures
are detailed in the background information section of the
element.
~~The Village has not developed an official Capital Improvements
.~~ Program as part of the Comprehensive Development Plan, nor as a
~~ separate document in the budgetary process. However, capital
improvements are assessed regularly, provided for as needed in
annual budgets, and revenues have been provided from various
sources to meet anticipated expenditures. Within these terms of
capital improvements programming, the Village has implemented
many of the recommendations of this element.
Specific actions and implementation activities that have financed
and fiscally managed growth and development in Tequesta are
discussed in this Section.
1. Objective A., Plan Recommendations 2. and 5.;
• Objective C., Plan Recommendation 1.
"A capital improvements programming period should be deter-
mined which will be practical for use in the Village."
"The Capital Improvements Program should be prepared con-
currently with the annual budget and coordinated
appropriately with operating and maintenance requirements."
"Since priorities may change from year to year, each proposal
should be re-evaluated annually and new proposals should be
added to the list while projects that have been accomplished
or no longer apply should be eliminated from the list."
Time periods for capital improvements programming have typically
been considered on an annual basis as part of the budget prepara-
tion regardless of the term anticipated for completion of such
projects. Depending on the type of capital project, expenditures
are either incurred for the short term or encumbered over the
long term. Regardless, capital projects are funded through the
annual budgets either for the entire project or for a portion of a
long-term project. Therefore, capital improvement projects are
proposed concurrently with the annual budget and prioritized
appropriately. Logically, long term committments (bonded indebt-
edness) have received high priority because annual payments are
due over the length of the bonds. Capital improvement expen-
• ditures that can be funded through the General Fund, Water
Department Fund or other available sources (i.e. Federal Revenue
Sharing funds) are usually prioritized based on assessment of
need, availability of revenues and financed on a "pay as you go"
scheme.
Local capital improvement demand may change from year to year and
needs may require re-prioritization. The budgetary process
established by the Village allows for this with appropriate input
from affected personnel and staff. The budget process is
discussed in more detail below.
2. Objective A., Plan Recommendations 3. and 4.;
Objective C., Plan Recommendation 3.
"A list of needed municipal improvements should be organized
and evaluated against each other, as well as coordinated
with current capital projects and programs."
"Cost estimates, by project, should be prepared and financing
methods should be selected to implement these projects."
"As part of the annual budgetary process, department heads,
consultants, and any other persons significantly involved
with municipal projects should be consulted during the
• Capital Improvements Program evaluation process by the
Village."
The Village Manager is responsible for preparation of annual
budgets. Budget preparation is initiated each year generally by
July 1. All Department Heads are requested to submit budget pro-
posals to the Manager for consideration. The Manager also
involves hired consultants of the Village (i.e. engineers, plan-
ners, etc.) in projecting anticipated needs. Cost estimates are
prepared for proposed projects and then prioritized as the
budget is finalized. These procedures have been typically main-
tained ove the years. In this manner, capital improvements and
expenditures are assessed and coordinated with general government
operations and maintenance programs.
3. Objective B., Plan Recommendations 1. 2. and 3.
"All elements of this Comprehensive Development Plan and any
other applicable Plans should be carefully evaluated and
reviewed and determine which proposals require capital
improvement projects to be undertaken."
"Capital improvements projects should be compared in relation
to overall community benefit and prioritized accordingly."
"As the Comprehensive Development Plan and any other appli-
• cable Plans are reviewed and updated from time to time, the
Capital Improvements Program should be adjusted to meet
changing demands."
As part of the budget preparation process, departmental programs,
special projects, on-going long term capital improvements and
applicable Plans are reviewed to determine which projects need to
be undertaken. Prioritization is based on overall community bene-
fit.
As previously mentioned various Village personnel and consultants
are involved in budget preparations. Any applicable plans and
programs assigned to them are obviously taken into consideration
in proposed programs, projects and budgets. If changing demands
require re-prioritization of capital projects and concurrent
funding, budget proposals are adjusted accordingly.
4. Objective D.; Objective D., Plan Recommendations 1. and 2.
"Ensure financial feasibility prior to undertaking any capi-
tal improvements."
r~
U
• "The Village should carefully consider all municipal expen-
ditures and revenues resulting from plan proposals when
determining the overall community benefit of these proposals.
A clear statement of costs and benefits should be prepared
for the Village before any determinations are made."
"The financial feasibility of implementing capital improve-
ments should be interpreted as meaning the practical
accomplishment of capital projects that are within the reason-
able capabilities of municipal finances and in the alloca-
tion of resources."
It is recommended that this Objective and its Plan
Recommendations be deleted in the proposed, revised Comprehensive
Development Plan. They are redundant and not necessary to main-
tain continuity within the Economic/Fiscal element. Other
Objectives and Plan Recommendations of this element express simi-
lar intents and purposes which establish directives for fiscal
planning and economic feasibility.
5. Objective E.; Objective E., Plan Recommendation 1.
"Strive to maintain a ~>onded debt that does not necessarily
constrain municipal fi~.ances and which is within the limita-
tions as set forth in the Village Charter."
• "The limitations on the bonded indebtedness, as expressed in
the Village Charter, should be reviewed periodically."
Bonded indebtedness as expressed in the Village Charter relates
to general obligation bonds and special assessment bonds.
Specifically, Section 6.02 of the Charter requires "...the total
indebtedness of the Village, whether in the form of general obli-
gation bonds or assessment bonds, or both, shall never in the
aggregate exceed 10% of the assessed value of taxable real
property within the Village at the time the indebtedness or
indebtednesses are incurred."
The limitation on the bonded indebtedness as defined in the
Charter has not been affected since adoption of the Plan because
no GOB's or assessment bonds have been issued or presently exist.
The Village's current bonded indebtedness is incurred by the
Improvement Revenue Bond and Water Refunding Revenue Bonds which
are paid off revenues generated or pledged from various sources.
The Charter sets no limitation on indebtedness incurred by
revenue bonds. The bonds are discussed in more detail later in
this Section.
• 6. Objective E., Plan Recommendations 2. and 3.
"The Village should research carefully the various types of
bonds, the respective conditions of those bonds, and other
methods of repayment by project or program because the
uniqueness of the project or program may merit unique methods
for repayment of debt."
"The repayment of debt should be carefully scrutinized in
determining whether such repayment of debt be accomplished
through benefits derived from the issuance of bonds or
through revenues derived from the operating budget. The type
of project in the Capital Improvements Program project list
and annual budget should be considered in making these
determinations.
When issuing bonds, the Village has carefully scrutinized how the
repayment of debt should be accomplished. The Village currently
has a bonded indebtedness of approximately $4.5 million dollars.
J The Improvement Revenue Bond cur ently has an unpaid principal
balance (as of September 30, 1980 of $845,000, and the Water
J Refunding Revenue Bonds has an unpaid principal balance (as of
September 30, 1980 of $3,915,000. The methods of repayment and
the conditions of the bonds differ.
The Improvement Revenue Bond, Series 1979 was issued in the
• amount of $910,000 with interest rates ranging from 8.30 to
8.50 for various drainage and street improvements. The
guaranteed entitlement portion of state revenue sharing trust
funds, public service utility taxes, franchise fees and occupa-
tional license fees are specifically pledged to pay off the
bonds. The bonds are repaid through the Debt Service Fund.
The Water Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1978, were issued for
improvements to the Village Water System. The bonds are solely
payable from and secured by a pledge of and prior lien on the
revenues derived from the operation of the system after the
payment of cost for operations and maintenance. This bond issue
defeased past bonds with different terms and rates that are more
economic and fiscally efficient for the Village.
7• Objective E.; Objective E., Plan Recommendations 1. 2. and 3.
"Investigate and use all available sources of funds for capi-
tal improvements."
"When researching alternative sources of funds for capital
improvements effects upon the operating budget should be
evaluated to identify potential impacts to normal operation
of municipal business."
"The Village should coordinate with other governments, agen-
', • Gies and institutions in compiling sources of available funds
for specific projects."
"When special sources of funds become available, the project
priority list should be re-evaluated for phasing and timing
of such projects."
The Village has been successful in utilizing the various sources
of funds available to them for the financing of capital improve-
ments and other major expenditures.
Aside from the bond issues described above, the Village is
entitled to certain federal funds for the operation of specific
programs. Revenues and expenditures for this purpose are
accounted for in the Federal Revenue Sharing Fund. Expenditures
of this Fund generally involve transfers to the General Fund.
The line-item expenditures generally have gone toward the
purchase of police cars and public safety expenses. Revenues are
derived from the entitlement payments and investment earnings on
the Federal Revenue Sharing funds which are kept in an interest
bearing account.
These special sources of funds in combination with local revenue
sources and bonding programs has allowed the Village to
accomplish capital projects through the years.
• 8. Objective G.; Objective'G., Plan Recommendations 1. and 2.
"Establish contingency funds to provide for unanticipated or
unexpected expenditures."
"The Village should only provide contingencies for unexpected
expenditures within, and as a part of, a line item expense."
"The Village should not develop contingency funds for the
sake of accumulating funds."
The Village does not have contingency funds established within
its budget structure to fund unexpected expenditures or for the
sake of accumulating funds. Therefore, it is recommended that
this Objective and Plan Recommendations be deleted in the pro-
posed, revised Comprehensive Development Plan.
Section 163.3191(2)(d)
Tequesta has witnessed few unforeseen or unanticipated
economic/fiscal problems and opportunities since adoption of the
Plan because they have efficiently pre-planned expenditures for
\~
r r
'~ ~ capital expenditures, as well as for operations and maintenance
of municipal system.. The Village remains in a sound fiscal and
financial position.
It is further recommended by this EAR, that the Goal, Objectives
and Plan Recommendations portion of this element be re-visited
and re-structured, where necessary. This would help to eliminate
duplicate and redundant statements while expanding the element to
be applicable to normal day-to-day concerns of the operating
budget as well as to capital improvements needs of the Village.
