BOX I308 WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33402 March 3, 1972 Mayor Ilalory Privitte Village of North Palm Beach Village Hall U. S. Highway ##1 North Palm Beach, Florida 33403 RE: Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the Unincorporated Areas of Palm Beach County, Florida Dear Mayor Privitte: As you are probably aware, the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, pursuant to a recent opinion from the Attorney General of the State of Florida, has placed the responsibility for and duty of preparation of a Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the unincorporated areas of the County under the direction of the Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning & Building Department. This decision was made simultaneously with the creation of a fully professional planning staff who will prepare the Land Use Plan with the assistance of an appointed fifteen man Land Use Advisory Board. The Land Use Plan will set forth long-range goals, immediate objectives and designate desired development policies for the future use of land in the unincorporated areas of the County. The plan shall consist of both written statements and graphic presentations based on extensive studies of existing land use and open space patterns, road systems, socio-economic characteristics and various,land use controls and tools available to implement recommendations. Once the plan has been completed, the Land Use Advislory Board will present this document at public hearing for review and modi- fication, if necessary. Finally, the Board of County Com- missioners will review and adopt the plan. The plan will then serve as a guide for future zoning decisions as well as a framework for the related land use considerations, such as our needs for open space, additional transportation facili- ties, institutional and community services, and the proper location and desirable amounts of residential, industrial, institutional, recreational, and agricultural land uses. Those of us who have been long time residents of the County and involved in local government, easily recognize the im- portance of the adoption of a comprehensive land use plan in the wake of our present and projected urban growth. There are a few of us who would not admit that the need for such land use planning and development guidelines existed long ago. 'Mayor I"alory Privitte -2- - March 3, 1972 However, as it often occurs, government and its related duties and functions, such as providing for roads, schools, and land use guidance, often come after a point in time in which they are capable of doing the most good. The adoption of the plan is scheduled for February 1, 1973, a date that is not too late to benefit the citizens and residents of Palm Beach County. The plan is not only an opportunity to guide growth and preserve much needed open space, but it also presents the rare opportunity to articulate what type of county we wish to live in now and what type of county we wish to bequeath to future generations. When adopted, the document will have a particular impact on the unincorporated areas of the county as well as having a special effect on the incorporated areas within the county. Uncontrolled growth in the westward areas will pose severe problems for each of the coastal communities and will endanger the much needed conservation and agricultural areas yet undeveloped. It is at this juncture that your cooperation will he tenaciously sought by members of the planning staff of the Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning & Building Department and Citizens Land Use Advisory Board. The coordination of local planning policy and zoning activi- ties of each municipality is exceedingly important in order to prevent conflicts at incorporated/unincorporated borders and to produce the hest long-range guide for regional urban growth. Pursuant to this goal of municipal and county co- operation two important points of concern arise: 1. The establishment of a means of coordinating both county and municipal planning efforts. 2. The recognition of municipal annexation plans by county planners. Each community with growth potential should address itself to each of these issues and it is recommended that such communities adopt a resolution of intent to be made a part of and incorporated into the "public records" of said munici- pality and Palm Beach County concerning local land use plans and policies, including but not limited to: 1. Intent to cooperate with county land use planning efforts. 2. Clarification of present and future annexation plans, if any. 3. Designation of a person or persons on a municipal level with whom the county planning staff and Land Use Advisory Board might coordinate planning efforts to best reflect specific goals and objectives of your community. Mayor "calory Privitte -3- March 3, 1972 Once we receive copies of your official resolutions, members of Land Use Advisory Board sub -committees for your area will meet with your designee, and will attempt to embody and in- corporate your suggestions into the overall county master plan. We have included a list of members of the Land Use Advisory Board, including the sub -committees serving your area. You are urged to contact any of these lay advisors or myself for assistance or clarification of anv questions that might arise.
