FLU-6 FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM The Future Land Use Classification System presented on Table FLU-1 is adopted as the "Future Land Use Classification System" of the Village of Tequesta. FUTURE LAND USE MAP SERIES Future Land Use Man The Future Land Use Map for the Village is displayed on Figure FLU-1. There are no designated historic districts of significant properties meriting protection within the Village, nor are there any listed on the Florida Master Site File of the National Register of Historic Places. Recreation/Open Space areas are identified on Figure FLU-1; however, due to their character and Village-wide appeal, the delineation of specific service areas is not appropriate. Each facility is deemed to serve the Village as a whole. Natural Resource Mans The following natural resources data are exhibited on Figures FLU-2 through FLU-4: 1. Natural Habitat, wetlands, coastal Vegetation and Beaches (Ref: Figure FLU-4); 2. Surface Water Features (Ref Figure FLU-4); 3. Generalized Soils Map (Ref: Figure FLU-Z and Table FLU-2); and 4. Flood Zones (Ref: Figure FLU-4 and Table FLU-3). 5. Future Annexation Area Map (Ref: Figure FLU-S). Existing and/or planned potable water wells or cones of influence in the Village of Tequesta are illustrated on Figure FLU-4. There are no minerals of determined value within the Village. FLU-7 TABLE FLU-1 FUTURE LAND USE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM For the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan, the following land use classifications, which are applicable to Tequesta, are used to describe existing land uses in the Village. The classifications are consistent with those defined in Chapter 9j-5, F.A.C. and concurrent with the Village's perception of use. Residential: Land uses and activities within land areas used predominantly for housing and excluding all tourist accommodations. Commercial: Land uses and activities within land areas which are predominantly related to the sale, rental and distribution of products and the provision of performance of services. Recreation/ n S ce: Land uses and activities within land areas where recreation occurs and lands which are either developed or vacant and concerned with active or passive recreational use. These uses can also be suitable for conservation uses. Conservation: Land uses and activities within land areas "designated" for the purpose of conserving or protecting natural resources or environmental quality, and includes areas designated for such purposes as flood control, protection of quality or quantity of ground water of surface water, flood plain management, fisheries management, or protection of vegetative community of wildlife habitats. Public Build- in~s 8t Grounds: Lands and structures that are owned, leased, or operated by a government entity, such as libraries, police stations, fire stations, post offices, government administration buildings, and areas used for associated storage of vehicles and equipment. Also, lands and structures owned or operated by a private entity and used for a public purpose such as a privately held but publicly regulated utility. Educational: Land use activities and facilities of public or private primary or secondary schools, and colleges and universities licensed by the Florida Department of Education, including the areas of buildings, campus open space, dormitories, recreational facilities or parking. Other Public Facilities: Land uses and activities within land areas concerned with other public or private facilities and institutions such as churches, clubs, fraternal organizations, homes for the aged and infirm, and other similar uses. Transportation: Land areas and uses devoted to the movement of goods and people including streets and associated rights-of--way. Water: All areas covered by water or any right-of--way for the purpose of conveying or storing water. Undevel Land areas ~ curre~ly developed for a prarrticular laud use FLU-8 1".ABLE FLU-2 TOIL TTPt - CIIAl1ACTC~131TC! the general types of lolls found to Tequesta and their characterlstlca are as follows: AU - Arents-Urban land complex. This complex consists of nearly level, sancuilac poorly drained, sandy soils and Urban land. The soils formed in thick layers of sandy fill material that vere placed over low, vet mineral Solis to make the areas suitable for urban use. This complex la In the eastern part of CM survay area and taken in golf courses, subdivlslons, condominium developments, road- ways, business or lndustrlal areas, reclaimed borrow pits, and other areas filled over Dui not yet developed. No one pedon represents this mapptng unit, buy the surface layer of one of ttu more common ones is dark gray and dark grayish brown sand, mixed with other s-ia- des of gray and brown, about 1 inches thick. Below this there is a layer of mottled brown sand about 20 inches thick. IC has common weakly cemented fragments of strong brown, black, or dark reddish brown sand. Between depths of 24 and 60 Inches are layers of light gray and dark gray sanO that have a feu thin lenses and mottles !n shades of gray and brown. This caoplex !s about 60 to 75 percent Arents and 25 to MO percent Urban land. Arents consist of lawns, vacant lots, golf courses, undeveloped areas, and oilier open land. Urban land consists of areas covered by streets, sidewalks, parking lots, buildings, and other structures. The percentage of Arents and Urban land varies. Included with this complex in mapping are areas of better drained lolls, soils that have a higher content of shells in sooe layers, and a few lolls that have limestone at a depth of less than 50 inches. Also included are small areas of soils, near the Intracoastal Waterway and lake Worth, that have a layer of marl or organic material Oela+ a depth of 20 inches. The so[1 material is generally rapidly permeable in all layers. The available water compacity is low or very low. The organic-matter content and natural fel•- tility are low in most places. Ba - Basinger fine sand. This !s a nearly level, poorly drained, deep, sandy '°' soil in broad grassy sloughs in the eastern part of the county. This soil has the pedon described as representative of the series. The water table is within 10 Inches of the surface for 2 to 6 months in host years and within 10 to 3U inches for the rest of the year. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Myakka, Imlrokalee, Paepano, Anclote, and Placid soils. Also included are some areas wnere the soil has a thin layer of organic material on the surface and a few places where a loamy substratum is deep in the soil. "The natural vegetation is St. Johnsuorth slash pine, southern bayberry, aril scattered cypress; plneland three-awn, blue maindencane, Oroowsedge bluesteh. and low panlc~a>t grasses. Host areas of this oil are In native vegetation ur improved pastors. ~ few areas are used for vegetables. So>.e large areas that were once cropped have been lOle for years. Unless drained, this soil is not suited to cultivated crops. If dralneJ and intensively managed, tt !s moderately well suited to vegeEables. Providing a well designed, constructed, and maintained water control system that maintains the level of the water table and provides subsurface irrigation is a major con- cern of management. Frequent applications of fertilizer and lime are needed. This soil is poorly suited to citrus. Because it is !n low-lying positions and nornallly has a high water table, water control is ditficult. Awell-designed water control syste>. and bedding are needed !f citcus.ls planted, and frequent applications of fertilizer are needed. Maintaining fertility is difficult because the loll is sandy and low in natural fertility. During dry periods, Irrigation Is needed to Insure good yields. If intensively managed, this loll is well su[ted to improved pasture of grass or grass and clover. Providing a water control system that is less intenstve but is othen+ise similar to that required for cultivated crops, applying fertilizer and lime as needed, and carefully controlling gnzing are laajor eanagement con- g terns. FLU-9 T.~B1,L ~ LU-2 (continued) Bn - Beaches consist of narrow strips of tide-washed sand along the Atlanti_ coat l-ne. They range from less than 100 feet to more than 500 feet -n wiJci~, but most are less than 200 feet wide. As much as half of the beach nsy p: covered by water during daily high tides, and all of the beach may be covered during stone periods. The shape and slope of the beaches may change with every storm. Most beaches have a uniform, gentle slope up to the edge of the water. Others have wavebullC ridges that have short, stronger slopes, ranging to 8 per- cent or Wore. There art a few shallow inland swales. tbst areas have no vege- tatlon, but the inland edge may be sparsely covered with agonvlne, railroad vine, sea Data, and seashore berawdagrass. Depth to the water table is I~Ighly variable, depending on the distance from the water, the height of the beach, the effect of storRS, or the tine of year. The depth to the water table ranges from 0 to 6 feet cr Wore, depending on time and place. Beaches are frequently ^lxed and reworked by waves, They are firm or canpact near the edge of the water, but the drier sands further back are louse. 8eachts consist of pale brown to light gray sand grains of uneoatecf quarts and are Bi:ed with Rultlcolored,~sand-sized to 1-inch shell fragments. few to Rany coarser smell fragments occur in all parts of the soil. Some areas have pockets or len- ses of tonguing shell; other areas consist of large shell fragments and little or no sand, Rock outcrops are scattered throughout. Sane sre at the edge of the water and act as a barrier to each incoming wave, fpr exaRple, at the north survey area line and at the Singer Island area. Others are submerged and exposed only at low tides, for exaaple, at Lake Worth and Boca Raton beactua. Beaches are not suited to crops or pasture. 1Aey art su[ted Ra Mly to recreation use and wildlife habitat and have great esthetic value. Ia - Iasaolcalee tine sand. This is a nearly level, poorly drained, deep, sarxly soil that has a dark colored layer below a depth of 30 Inches that is weakly cemented with organic Batter. This soil is in broad flatwood areas in ttie eastern part of the survey area. It has Che pedon Described as representative of tt~e series. Under natural conditions, the water table !s within 10 inches of the surface for 2 to 4 months during wet periods, within 10 to 40 Inches for 8 maiths or more In most years, but It is b?low 40 inches In dry periods. Included with this soil !n mapping are small areas of Myakka, Basinger, Ma basso, and Oldsmar soils. The natural vegetation Is slash pine, saw-palmetto, inkberry, fetterbusti, pine- land three-awn, and many other grasses. Most areas of this soil are in native vegetation, but there are some areas In improved grass pasture and cultivated crops. This soil is Roderately well suited to vegetables if irrigation water is available. Intensive BanageBent and a very careful control of the water ta01a level are necessary. A drainage system and a subsurface Irrigation system that provides rapid removal of excess water in rainy periods and a groans of irriga- tion in dry periods should be carefully designed, installed, and Raintained. Application of fertilizer and 1SBe is needed. This soli is poorly suited to citrus because of poor drainage, rapid leaching of plant nutrients, and droughtiness In dry periods. If the groves are well managed and there is a properly designed water control system, citrus trees can be grown successfully. A drainage systea that reabves excess water during wet periods allows for a high-quality pasture of Lproved grasses. i.arge appllcatlons of fertilizer aril line are required. If irrigated, clover can be grove with .grasses. Mu - Hyakka-Urban land oo^plex. This complex consists of Mltakka sand and Urban land. About 25 to 50 percent of the complex is covered by streets, sidewalks, driveways, houses, and other structures. About 40 to 65 percent of the complex consists of open land such as lawns, vacant lots, and playgrounds. These areas are made up Rainly of nearly level, poorly drained Myakka sand, which has been modified in Bost places by spreading about 12 inches of sandy fill Rater[al on the original surface. Hyakka sand has a pedon similar to that described as representative of the series. ~~ Included !n Rapping are ,IRmokalee, Basinger, and Pompano soils, all of which have sandy fill Raterial over the original surface. FLU-10 T.aBLE FLU-? (continue.i) The percentage of urban area and open 1a~rJ van es. Most areas have been drarn~J to some degree Dy a system of canals ar,7 dltcnes, and the water table generally Is at a greater depth than is typical for Myakka soils. Following heavy rains, the eater table may rise to within 10 Inches of the surface for periods of up to 1 month. Present land use precludes use for farming. POB - Pala Beach-Urban land compels, Thls complex consists of Palm Beach sand and Urban land, About SO to 70 percent of the complex Is open land, such as lawns, vacant lots, and undeveloped areas. These areas are Wade up oC nearly level to eloping, excessively drained, Palm Beach sand that has Oven graded and leveled In many places for urban development. The original soil has a pedon slnrllar to that described as representative of the serlrs. About 3o to 50 per- cent of the carrrplex is covered by sidewalks, streets, parking lots, Ouildings, and other structures. Included with the open areas of this complex in mapping are small areas of Canaveral sand that has fill material on the original surface !n many places. Soave of this fill material cars from the adjacent, higher Palm Beach sand during the process of leveling. The percentage of open land and urban areas varies. A few earc'ow coastal ridges of Palw Beach sand rea-aln undeveloped, but the amount of such land is being con- tinually reduced by urban expansion.• PcB - Paola sand, 0 to 8 percent slopes. This nearly level to sloping, excessi- vely drained, deep, sandy soil has yellowish layers Oeneath the white subsurface layer. It is on long, narrow dunelike ridges near the Atlantic coast. IC has the pedon described as representative of the series. The water table !s below a depth of 6 feet. Included with this Boll in Dapping are small areas of St. Lucie, Palm Beach, and Pemello soils; lolls that lack the thick, white, subsurface layer; and soils ti~at have the yellowish layer at a depth greater than that described for Paola sand. T1ie natural vegetation is sand pine and an undergrowth of scrub oak, palmetto, and rosemary. The surface is sparsely covered by .grasses, cacti, mosses, and lichens. large areas are In native vegetation, Some areas are cleared and smoothed for urban use. This soil is not suited to vegetables and most cultivated crops because it is groughty and has many other poor soil qualities. It is moderately well .,uited to citrus. In citrus groves, a cover crop of weeds and grasses is needed to keep the loll between the trees from blowing. Tillage should Oe kept to a •inl- ~. Sprinkle irrigation is needed to insure the survival of young trees aril a good yield of fruit fro^ aature Lrees. T1ris soil !a poorly suited to improved pasture of bahlagrass and other deep- rooted grasses. ;n such pastures, frequent application of fertilizer and care- fully controlled grazing are needed. QAB - Quartzipsammenta, shaped, This mapping unit consists of nearly level to gently sloping, well drained, deep, sandy soils in areas wtrere natural soils have been altered by cutting down ridges and spreading th! soil mater[al over adjacent lower soils, by filling low areas above natural ground level, and by filling and shaping loll material to torn golf courses, fie sandy fill material may Oe haLled In trove a distant source but !s generally obtained at the site by dredgtng nearD,y water areas or by excavating to create water areas.

SuB - St. Lucie-Urban land complex. This complex consists of St. Lucie sand anrt Urban land. About 50 to 70 percent of this caoplex is open land, such as leans, vacant lots, and playgrounds. These areas are made up of nearly level to sloping, excessively drained St. Lucie soils. In places, these soils have been r.odifled by cutting, grading, or shaping for urban development. About 30 to 50 percent of the caaplex is covered by streets, sidewalks, driveways, patios, buildings, and other structures. The rest of the complex is made up of Paola and Pomello soils. These soils .may also be taodlfied 1,n places, but the pedons are similar to that described as representative of their respective series. The percentage of urban areas aril open land varies. Present land use precludes use of this complex for farming. TM - Tidal swamp, mineral, is nearly level, very poorly drained, sandy rr~terial that supports a dense growth of mangrove trees. It is only near the coast along the Intracoastal Waterway, around the edges of Lake Worth, and along the edger ~.~F.. of the Loxahatchee River and its tributaries. It consists of sandy marine sedi- ments that are flooded by salt or brackish water during daily high tides. Permeability is rapid in all layers. The available water capacity is high in the surface layer and low below that. Natural fertility is low. Tlie surface layer is black, very dark gray, or very dark grayish brown arxl Is lU inches or sore Chick. It is mucky sand or mucky loamy sand. Reaction ranges from slightly aclC to strongly alkaline. In many places, the surface layer is fibrous aruCk g to 6 inches thick. The underlying aaterial is black, very dark gray, very darer grayish brain, dark grays ttiy~ grayish brown, or brown sand, fine sand, or loamy sand. Reaction ranges frog extremely acid to ailOly alkaline. In places, the content of shell fragments ranges to 10 percent. Ur- Urban land consits of areas that are 60 to more Chan 75 percent covered witty streets, buildings, large parking lots, shopping centers, indwtrlal parks, airports, and related facilities. Other areas, mostly lawns, parks, vacant lots, and playgrounds, are generally altered to such an extent that the former lolls cannot be easily recognized and are in tracts too small to be mapped separately.
