Ms. Marder explained that the property owner has contractual obligations with the Olive Oil of the World tenant and wishes to accept the proposed sign as submitted.

Staff recommended denial of the request, as it was determined that the application does not meet the hardship criteria required for a variance. Mark Weber of Preferred Signs, representing property owner Michael Saba, explained that the variance request is driven by a lack of visibility for tenants located at the rear of the plaza. Board members expressed that they could not support the requested variance. However, they encouraged staff to work with the applicant to explore alternative solutions for signage and improved visibility for the plaza. They also suggested that this issue be considered during the development of the proposed sign code currently in progress.

Page 1 of 4 VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TO: Honorable Mayor and Council THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney Valentino Perez, Building Director DATE: June 12, 2025 SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 2nd READING – Ordinance amending Section 45-32.1 of the Village Code of Ordinances to adopt a new Table of Uses for the C-T Transitional Commercial Zoning District. Background: Village Staff recognizes that portions of the Village’s Zoning Code are outdated, and Staff is in the process of modernizing the document. Recently, the owner of property located in the C-T Transitional Commercial District contacted the Village regarding amending the uses in this zoning district to provide more flexibility and bring them in line with the use tables for other commercial zoning districts. The uses within the C-T Zoning District were last updated in 1999. Currently, Section 45-32.1(B) of the Village Code lists the following permitted used within the C-T Zoning District: 1. Financial institutions; 2. Professional and business offices, not including medical and dental clinics; 3. Florists; 4. Clothing stores; 5. Stationery stores; 6. Photo studios/camera shops; 7. Sporting goods stores; 8. Gift shops; 9. Candy shops; 10. Seamstress/tailor shop; 11. Personal service establishments, such as barber shops, hair salons, and nail salons; 12. Instructional dance/music studios; 13. Family day care home; 14. Multiple-family dwelling structures of two (2), three (3), or four (4) dwelling units, provided that residential density does not exceed twelve (12) units per acre. If a use is listed as permitted, it is deemed prohibited. The Village presently has eleven (11) properties with a C-T zoning designation. These properties are predominately along the east side of Alternate A1A, with one property located on Prosperity Farms Road (Village Grocery Store) Page 2 of 4 Village Staff reviewed the existing uses and examined what other jurisdictions allowed within transitional zoning districts. Discussion: Transitional zoning districts are used to create a gradual shift between different land use types, like residential and commercial, by establishing buffer zones with mixed uses or less intensive development. The creation of these buffer zones mitigates potential conflicts between incompatible land uses and promotes a smoother transition between areas, ultimately enhancing livability and property values within a community. The general description of the C-T Transitional Commercial District is to provide for the development of low-intensity residential and business uses. The C-T district is intended to serve as a transition between strictly residential areas and intense commercial development. Consequently, the Village should consider the impacts that a permitted commercial business will have on adjacent residential properties, including, but not limited, noise, litter, and traffic. Over time, uses have changed substantially and it is uncommon to see a standalone photo studio/camera shop or candy store. Sporting goods stores tend to be big box stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods, which is opposite to the “mom and pop” stores that have historically been operating in the Village. Further, many uses were not considered when the Code of Ordinance was adopted. For example, Live/Work Units did not exist then. In addition, the nature of the areas where the CT District is located has also changed. Alternate A1A and Northlake Boulevard are not the same as they were fifty years ago. There is more traffic and the area has been built out. As a result, Village Staff agrees that the C-T Transitional Commercial District uses should be updated. Village Staff is proposing to provide general categories, which are determined by their nature, rather than specific business types. The Village has already utilized this approach in the C-NB Northlake Boulevard Commercial District, the C-MU US-1 Mixed-Use District, and the C-3 Regional Business District. Below is the proposed Use Chart for the C-T Zoning District, which has been revised to incorporate the comments received from the Village Council at its May 8th workshop: PERMITTED USES SPECIAL EXCEPTION NOT PERMITTED RESIDENTIAL USES Mobile home park X Dwelling, one family detached X Dwelling, all other dwelling types (Maximum 12 units per acre) X Live/Work Units X Assisted living facility X Page 3 of 4 Community residential home1 X LODGING USES Hotel/Motel X Timeshare unit X Bed and Breakfast X BUSINESS USES Office, general X Office or clinic, medical or dental X Stores & services, general X Store & services, large format X Adult Entertainment X Convenience Store without fuel X Drive-thru facility (for any use) X Heavy commercial and light industrial X Medical marijuana treatment center X Restaurant less than 3,000 sq. ft. and no table service X All other restaurants X Telecommunications antennas X Vehicle sales or repair X Cocktail lounges and bars X CIVIC & EDUCATION USES Child care X Civic space X Family day care X Government Building X Hospital or Medical Center X Public Space X School, public or private X Church or Place of Worship X Page 4 of 4 1 Subject to the same requirements as apply in the R-2 zoning district. In addition to eliminating the specific types of permitted commercial uses, the primary differences between the proposed Table of Uses and the uses currently permitted within the C-T zoning district are as follows:  The specific types of multi-family dwellings (two, three, or four units) permitted have been eliminated (but the maximum density of 12 units per acre has been carried over);  A medical or dental office or clinic has been added to the list of permitted uses;  A restaurant of less than 3,000 square feet with no table services has been added to the list of permitted uses; and  New special exception uses have been added, namely, convenience store without fuel, child care facility, public or private school, and church or place of worship. As set forth in Section 45-16.2 of the Village Code (copy attached), special exception uses are uses that are generally compatible with use characteristics of a zoning district, but which require individual review of their location, design intensity, configuration, and public facility impact to determine the appropriateness on any particular site. Village Council approval is required for any special exception use, and the Council may impose additional conditions “to make uses compatible within their specific contexts.” An applicant seeking to establish a special exception use must demonstrate that: (1) the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Village’s land development regulations; (2) the proposed use will not have an undue adverse effect upon nearby properties or generate excessive traffic or noise; (3) the proposed use is compatible with the existing or planned character of the neighborhood; (4) all reasonable steps have been taken to minimize any adverse effect on the immediate vicinity; (5) the proposed use will not interfere with the development and use of neighboring properties; and (6) the proposed use will protect the Village’s tax base, will not create a financial burden, and will be in the interests of the public health, safety, and welfare. The Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board conducted a public hearing on the proposed Ordinance at its March 4, 2025, meeting and recommended approval of the Ordinance with minor revisions. At its May 22, 2025, regular session, the Village Council adopted the Ordinance on first reading by a unanimous vote. There is no fiscal impact. Recommendation: Village Staff requests Council consideration and adoption on second and final reading of the attached Ordinance adopting a new table of uses for C-T Transitional Commercial Zoning District in accordance with Village policies and procedures.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: Honorable Mayor and Council THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager FROM: Valentino Perez, Building Director DATE: June 12, 2025 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment (EAR) Second Reading of Ordinance – AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO IMPLEMENT ITS EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT; ADOPTING A NEW INTRODUCTION SECTION AND EVALUATING AND MONITORING SECTION; AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT, THE CONSERVATION ELEMENT, THE COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT, THE RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT, THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT, THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT, THE INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT, THE HOUSING ELEMENT, THE ANNEXATION ELEMENT, AND THE PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT; ADOPTING A REVISED AND UPDATED WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN; PROVIDING FOR TRANSMITTAL; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. In January 2024, the Village notified the Florida Department of Commerce of its intent to prepare an Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR)-based amendment to its Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Section 163.3177, Florida Statutes. The amendment was structured around four (4) thematic sections and would update the existing Goals, Objectives, and Policies (GOPs) as well as the Data and Analysis (D&A):  People and Places (Future Land Use, Annexation, Housing)  Well-Maintained and Efficient Infrastructure (Transportation, Capital Improvement, Infrastructure)  Attractive and Environmentally Friendly Community (Conservation, Coastal Management, Recreation and Open Space)  Responsible and Accessible Government (Intergovernmental Coordination, Property Rights, Evaluation and Monitoring) The Village contracted Chen Moore and Associates (CMA) to prepare a new Introduction Element as well as the People and Places and Well-Maintained and Efficient Infrastructure portions, which include the following elements:  Future Land Use  Annexation  Housing  Transportation  Capital Improvement  Infrastructure Meanwhile, JMortion Planning and Landscape Architecture was contracted to prepare the Attractive and Environmentally Friendly Community portion, which includes the following elements:  Conservation  Coastal Management  Recreation and Open Space The final three elements, Intergovernmental Coordination, Property Rights, and Evaluation and Monitoring, were prepared by former Community Development staff. The format for the GOPs is underline and strike-through. The underline represents language to be added and strike-through represents language to be removed. The Introduction and Evaluation and Monitoring sections are new so the entire sections will be underlined. Meanwhile, the Data and Analysis sections for each Element are located in the second document that is also part of the EAR- based Comprehensive Plan amendment initiative. Throughout the process, there has been extensive public participation and engagement with stakeholders regarding the proposed updates. The Village hosted two public workshops with the Planning, Zoning, and Adjustment Board (PZAB) on June 4 and July 2, 2024. The goal of these workshops was to provide information on each element and receive feedback from the Board. On August 6, 2024, the PZAB, sitting as the Local Planning Agency (LPA), recommended approval of the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment. Following the LPA’s recommendation, the project team conducted individual meetings with each member of the Village Council. These meetings were held during the weeks of August 26 and September 9, 2024. On November 7, 2024, the Village Council adopted the ordinance on first reading by unanimous vote and authorized transmittal of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The project team submitted the subject documents to the State Land Planning Agency (Florida Department of Commerce) and other reviewing agencies on November 15, 2024. On January 17, 2025, the Department of Commerce issued the Objections, Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report to the Village. Pursuant to Section 163.3184(4)(e)(1), Florida Statutes, the second public hearing must be held within 180 days of receipt of the ORC report (or by July 16, 2025). In addition to the Department of Commerce, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) also submitted comments and recommendations (see ORC report). On January 30, 2025, the Village’s consultants met with Stephanie Heidt of TCRPC to address the agency’s comments and recommendations. Based on those discussions, Village staff and consultants revised the amendment to incorporate applicable feedback. Village staff also met with Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA) on February 5, 2025. On March 7, 2025, the Village submitted updated documents for a courtesy review to the Department of Commerce (see courtesy review). On May 15, 2025, a final coordination meeting was held with James Stansbury, Donna Harris, Jon Coulter, and Keith Davie from the Department of Commerce. The subject documents considered for the adoption hearing (Second Reading) incorporate changes responding to the ORC report. Please note that the newly proposed language is shown in red font and underlined. As required by Section 163.3184(4)(e)(2), Florida Statutes, the Village must transmit the full amendment package—along with supporting data and analysis—to the Florida Department of Commerce within ten (10) working days after the adoption hearing. Recommendation: Village Staff requests Village Council consideration and approval on second and final reading of the attached Ordinance approving the Village’s EAR Comprehensive Plan Amendments, including an update to the Water Supply Plan, as required by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes.

Map Series TBD 1 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN History The Village of North Palm Beach has a rich history. Florida was originally inhabited by the Timucua, Apalachee, AIS, and Tekeste native American tribes. The Spanish ruled from 1513- 1764, and the British until 1783. In 1892, a warranty deed was issued to Albert Sawyer for the area that would become Lake Park, then known as Kelsey City/Silver Beach on the condition that he would improve or sell the land by 1907. In 1903, Mr. Sawyer passed away and the land was trusted to his son. Following the death of Mr. Sawyer, the deadline was extended from 1907 to 1927. In 1919, the Kelsey family purchased 14 miles of ocean- and lakefront property between Miami and Jupiter, including 100, 000 acres which later included Kelsey City/Lake Park and North Palm Beach. They also purchased the Florida East Coast Canal (part of the intracoastal waterway) and operated it as a toll highway: a chain across the canal stopped boats for fee collection. The Park Bridge over the canal was completed in 1926. In 1954, John D. MacArthur purchased 2,600 acres of land in northern Palm Beach County for $5.5 million. The newly purchased land would eventually become the Village of North Palm Beach, the Town of Lake Park, the City of Palm Beach Gardens, and the Town of Palm Beach Shores. MacArthur, who was not interested in developing the area, sold the land to Herbert and Richard Ross. They developed the mangrove swamps and farmland which eventually became the Village of North Palm Beach. At the time, the Village was bounded by Monet Road and Johnson Dairy Road to the north and south, and US 1 and Prosperity Farms Road to the east and west. In 1956, the Village was incorporated into Palm Beach County. Further development included extensive dredging to create waterfront cul-de-sacs, and Lighthouse Drive, which connected Old Dixie Highway to US Highway 1, the main civic corridor. In 1963, the Village opened the publicly owned and -operated North Palm Beach Country Club. From 1981 through 2004, the Village experienced an increase in residential development, including Northlake Condominiums, Governor’s Pointe, Seamark, Marina Bay, Southwind Circle, River’s Landing, Harbor Isles, Sanctuary Cove, and Prosperity Harbor. In 1989, John D. MacArthur Beach State Park was established, making it the only state park in Palm Beach County. MacArthur provided the State of Florida with the resources for obtaining the land and donated funds to help develop the park. The park was established to protect the undistributed subtropical coastal habitat from development. Over the years, the Village has continued to grow and expand its boundaries through annexation to accommodate population growth. Comprehensive Planning in the Village and the State The Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan (Plan) has been developed and amended pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (F.S.), the "Community Planning Act", and the requirements of Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). In 2011, the State of Florida Legislature made significant changes to the Growth Management Act of 1985. Sections 9J-5 and 9J-11.023, of the Florida Administrative Code were repealed, with portions of both rules incorporated into the Community Planning Act. The new legislation shifts oversight of development from the State to local governments, while retaining the state final determination over those development plans that affect 2 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN regions or sensitive land considered "areas of critical state concern." Therefore, giving more control to the local jurisdictions in overseeing and directing their future growth. The Plan is also required to be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 187, Florida Statutes), along with other state and federal requirements. It provides the Village with long-term direction through goal statements as well as short-term objectives and policies to guide implementation efforts. In addition to the guidelines set forth in Chapter 163, F.S., community specific concerns have been targeted within the Goals, Objectives, and Policies section of each of the Comprehensive Plan elements. Many of these objectives and policies go beyond the legislative requirements and are indicative of the Village’s evolution and needs since the comprehensive plan was adopted by the Village of North Palm Beach. This chapter requires that all local governments throughout Florida maintain a long-range comprehensive plan, and that comprehensive planning should be a continuous and ongoing process. Definitions for Goals, Objectives, and Policies are provided in the Definitions section of this document. It is important to recognize that Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Plan should be applied within the context of the overall intent of the Plan. As a part of this process, municipalities are required to monitor numerous community characteristics relating to development, provision of services, environmental protection, and governmental activities. To comply with that process, the Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan is comprised of the following Elements: Future Land Use Transportation Housing Infrastructure Conservation Coastal Management Recreation and Open Space Annexation Intergovernmental Coordination Capital Improvement Property Rights Purpose of the Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan provides a framework for the Village and provides a guide for the future actions of the community. The purpose of the North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan is to establish a vision for the Village and determine long-range goals, objectives, policies, and standards for the management of growth and the provision of services. The Plan is intended to provide general guidelines for establishing more specific standards, regulations, procedures, and programs. For example, the Land Development Regulations (LDRs), Strategic Plan, Citizen’s Master Plan, and all other related plans derive from Goals, Objectives, or Policies indicated within the Comprehensive Plan. Sustainability The goal of the Village’s Plan is to create a sustainable community to ensure that adequate resources are available for future generations. The Village seeks to support its business community and enhance the quality of life for all residents by preventing pollution, 3 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN encouraging affordable housing, promoting revitalization, redevelopment, and neighborhood stabilization, maximizing conservation, pursuing historic preservation, promoting efficiency, and developing local resources. Sustainability also requires that development and redevelopment in the Village be coordinated with public investments in alternative transportation modes, which will enable the Village to accommodate the projected population, allow for expanded economic and cultural activity and strive to create a community where live, work, play and learn become part of the daily life of residents and visitors. Implementation of the Plan This section includes the different aspects related to the implementation of the Plan, including rules of interpretation, definitions and acronyms, and the process to amend the Plan, including the Evaluation and Appraisal Review. Chapter 163, F.S. sets forth General Requirements for local government comprehensive plans. Procedural Requirements established by the Florida Statutes include adoption, submission and transmittal criteria for the adoption and amendment of Comprehensive Plans. Specific procedures are established by the Department of Commerce, consistent with the procedural requirements in the Florida Statutes. Planning Horizon The Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan includes a 10-year and 20-year planning horizon. Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan The process for amending the Comprehensive Plan shall be guided by the provisions of Florida Statutes Chapter 163, the Administrative Rules implementing it and in accordance with the provisions herein. Proposed amendments to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan are also subject to the following requirements as established in Sec 21-01 of the Village Code of Ordinances. Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map The comprehensive plan and future land use map "FLUM" of the Village of North Palm Beach are the official statements of policy of the Village with regard to the use and development of land within the Village. All use or development of land undertaken pursuant to these regulations shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan, the future land use map, and the Palm Beach County Land Use Map. Department for Community Development The Department for Community Development coordinates the comprehensive review and approval process of all development within the Village of North Palm Beach. The department, through its Planning and Zoning Division, is also responsible for the implementation, administration, and interpretation of the Land Development Regulations (LDR). Procedure for the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Before the current Evaluation and Appraisal Review process, previous statutory requirements called for an Evaluation and Appraisal Report to analyze and assess comprehensive plans, and to provide recommendations that would result in corrective amendments to the adopted comprehensive plans. 4 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan was previously updated on three (3) occasions, in accordance with the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) requirements of the Florida Statutes. The first EAR was adopted on January 20, 1998. The second EAR was conducted in 2008 and adopted on October 20, 2009. Corrective amendments were made to the Comprehensive Plan in subsequent amendment rounds. In 2021, the third EAR was conducted to implement the Property Rights Element of the Comprehensive Plan per F.S. Current requirements pursuant to Chapter 163, F.S., provide that each local government in Florida periodically prepare, adopt, and submit an Evaluation and Appraisal Review of its comprehensive plan. At least every seven years, pursuant to Rule Chapter 73C-49, Florida Administrative Code, the Village must determine whether the need exists to amend the comprehensive plan to reflect changes in state requirements since the last comprehensive plan update. The procedures and requirements for the new Evaluation and Appraisal Review process are detailed in Chapter 163, F.S. In preparing the periodic evaluation and appraisal of the Comprehensive Plan, the Village shall, at minimum, evaluate the Plan to determine if amendments are necessary to reflect changes in State requirements since the last update of the Plan. The Village shall also notify the State as to its determination, and shall, within one year of the evaluation and appraisal of the Plan, prepare and transmit any identified amendments to the State for review. The State continues to encourage local governments to conduct periodic comprehensive assessments of comprehensive plans to respond to changes in local circumstances. Local governments are encouraged to comprehensively evaluate and as necessary update plans to reflect changes in local conditions. The Village of North Palm Beach decided to conduct a comprehensive review and evaluation of its current comprehensive plan, including updates reflecting changes in state requirements. As part of the subject Comprehensive Plan update, in-depth reviews were conducted to identify and evaluate necessary amendments to the Plan including meetings with the following agencies: • Solid Waste Authority, Seacoast Utility Authority; • Florida Department of Transportation; • Palm Beach County Library and Planning Divisions; • Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency; • Friends of MacArthur State Park; and, • Palm Beach County Sports Commission. The Community Development staff provided critical guidance and feedback to prepare the subject Plan. Also, other pertinent Village departments contributed with their technical expertise to complete the Plan. Two (2) workshops, which took place on June 4, 2024, and July 2, 2024, were held with the Planning & Zoning and Adjustments Board (PZAB). Subsequently, hearings were held with the PZAB (Local Planning Agency-LPA) for a recommendation of approval, followed by a meeting with the Village Council for the Transmittal Hearing.

Transportation, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks and recreation, and public education are the only public facilities and services subject to the Palm Beach County concurrency requirement. The necessary public facilities and services to maintain the adopted level of service standards are available when the impacts of development occur. CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: The procedures or process that the local government will utilize to assure that development orders and permits are not issued unless the necessary facilities and services are available concurrent with the impacts of development. CONSTRAINED ROADWAYS: Roads that cannot be expanded by the addition of two or more through-lanes because of physical, environmental or policy constraints. DENSITY: The number of dwelling units per acre on a building site in the residential and commercial zoning categories. Where the computation of density results in a whole number plus a fraction of dwelling units per acre, the fraction shall be disregarded, i.e., four and nine tenths (4.9) shall mean four (4) dwelling units per acre. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: Definitions of any other terms related to development standards shall be as described in “Definitions” of the Village’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs) DWELLING UNIT: A house, apartment, condominium unit, mobile or manufactured home, group of rooms, or a single room intended for occupancy as a separate living quarter with complete kitchen and bathroom facilities, and with direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall for use by its occupants. EDUCATIONAL USES: Activities and facilities for public or private primary or secondary schools; vocational and technical schools; and colleges and universities including all campus buildings, residence halls and dormitories, fraternity and sorority housing, and recreational facilities. FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR): A regulatory technique which relates to total developable site area and the size (square feet) of development permitted on a specific site. A numeric rating assigned to each commercial and industrial land use category that determines the total gross square feet of a structure as measured from the structure’s exterior walls based upon the actual land area of the parcel upon which the structure is to be located. Total gross square feet calculated using the assigned floor area ratio shall not include such features as parking lots or structures, aerial pedestrian crossovers, open or partially enclosed plazas, or exterior pedestrian and vehicular circulation areas. GOAL: A goal is an end-state toward which effort is directed. An end-state in this context is a set of economic, social and land use conditions which seem desirable for North Palm Beach. Goals are long range and defined in qualitative rather than quantitative terms. In general, they espouse very high ideals about the end-state to be achieved. In effect, goals set the parameters of the study to be made. Goals have scale, scope, and substantive dimensions. Goals vary in their substantive, scope, and scale characteristics. GROSS ACRE: Full area of a parcel inclusive of any public-rights of way and public property. 8 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAZARD MITIGATION: Reducing or eliminating potential losses by breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. HOTEL: A Building or part thereof, in which sleeping rooms are offered for rent to the public, and where all charges for food, lodging, and accessory services are paid for by the renter. Hotels maintain an inner lobby through which all occupants must pass to gain access. Hotel sleeping rooms are accessed solely through interior hallways, even when such units are on ground floors. Guests frequently stay more than one (1) night. Hotels typically include amenities that cater to longer- term guests, such as exercise rooms, spas, restaurants, meeting rooms, ballrooms, convention facilities, reading areas, and limited shopping areas. Hotels cater to transient occupancy, and may have limited kitchenette facilities (i.e., microwave, coffee maker, small sink, miniature refrigerator) for use by the occupants. Two hotel rooms are equivalent to one residential unit. LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is redefining the way we think about the places where we live, work, and learn. As an internationally recognized mark of excellence, LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions. LEED certification provides independent, third- party verification that a building, home or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS): An indicator of the extent or degree of service provided by, or proposed to be provided by, a facility based on and related to the operational characteristics of the facility. LOS shall indicate the capacity per unit of demand for each public facility or performance measures for road traffic or stormwater facilities. LOCAL ROAD: A roadway providing service, which is of relatively low traffic volume, short average trip length or minimal through traffic movements, and high-volume land access for abutting property. INDUSTRIAL USE: Business activity which is predominantly connected with assembling or storage of small machine parts, electronics, and communications equipment where all activities are carried on within an enclosed building, and deliveries and pickups are made from enclosed trucks or vans. Industrial operations are typically of a size, scale, and character which are virtually indistinguishable from operations conducted in office buildings, commercial buildings, and commercial-office parks and complexes. The equipment used in the industrial manufacturing process does not include the use of large machines, generate significant emissions of toxic or regulated gases, or use bulk chemical combinations. Industrial buildings typically do not have smokestacks and on-site bulk chemical mixing is not contemplated. Industrial business operations may not produce nuisances such as noise, heavy truck traffic, fumes, vibration, glare, or other criteria which would be incompatible with residential or upscale commercial use. Primary functions in Industrial Use relate to an activity other than manufacturing. 9 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MANUFACTURED HOME: A dwelling unit fabricated in an off-site manufacturing facility for installation or assembly at the site, bearing a label certifying that it is built in compliance with the federal manufactured housing construction and safety standards, or inspected by an approved inspection agency conforming to the requirements of HUD, and bearing an insignia of approval. MINOR ARTERIAL: A roadway which interconnects with and augments the urban principal arterial system. MOTEL: A building, or series of buildings, being attached, semi-detached, or detached, in which sleeping rooms are offered for rent to the public, and where all charges for food, lodging, and accessory services are paid for by the renter, and where each unit has convenient exterior access to a parking space for the use of the unit's occupants. Access to sleeping rooms is from the exterior of the building as opposed to the interior. Except for a dwelling unit for the manager or caretaker, the rental sleeping rooms are primarily for the transient use of motor vehicle travelers who typically stay one night. These units may have limited kitchenette facilities (i.e., microwave, coffee maker, small sink, miniature refrigerator) for use by the occupants. Two motel sleeping rooms are equivalent to one residential unit. MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING: multiple separate dwelling units contained within one building or several buildings excluding single family attached dwellings. MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM: The system which provides safe and efficient movement of people, goods, and services by more than one mode of transportation. NEIGHBORHOOD PARK: A park that serves the residents of a neighborhood and is accessible to bicyclists and/or pedestrians. It is designed to serve the population of a neighborhood in a radius of up to one-half mile. Neighborhood parks include any related recreational facilities and can be publicly or privately owned. NET ACRE: “Net acre” means parcel area exclusive of public right-of-way and public property. OBJECTIVES: Objectives, like goals, are end-states toward which effort is directed. The dictionary definition of the two terms makes them synonymous. However, for our purpose the term “objective” will be used to further define the goals. Objectives will be milestones toward achieving the end-state. Objectives can be defined on a number of levels, but the most important distinction is between quantitative and qualitative objectives. OPEN SPACE: Areas open to the sky that are partly or completely covered with grass, trees, shrubs, other vegetation, or water, or if partially or completely paved serve to shape or enhance urban form or provide for public use. Open spaces have little to no vertical structures and can be publicly or privately owned. Open spaces include parks, transportation corridor parkways, vegetated buffers, shared use paths, plazas, courtyards, squares, and areas that provide stormwater management. PARK: A site that provides opportunities to partake in active or passive recreational activities, including structures associated with a park’s recreational activities. PEAK HOUR PEAK DIRECTION CAPACITY: The maximum number of vehicles that can pass a given point in one direction on a road under given traffic and road conditions per the FDOT Quality/Level of Service Handbook in one hour. 10 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PLAN: A plan is one of the methods for achieving the desired end-states described as goals and objectives. The term plan is often taken as meaning the same as objective, program, or strategy. For our purposes, the plan will be a graphic and narrative description of the end- state achieved when all goals and objectives are met. The usual narrative of a plan contains the statement of goals, objectives and policies, background characteristics and an articulation of programs and strategies to be used to implement the plan. POLICIES: Policies are often confused with goals and objectives. Indeed, most objectives can be rewritten as policies and most policies can be rewritten as objectives. It is easy to distinguish the two, if one considers objectives to be static end-states and always written in the infinitive verb form: e.g., to be, to do, to provide. On the other hand, policies are guides to action that control present and future decision making. Policies are almost always written in the present or future-perfect tense with an auxiliary condition to the verb to express obligation, propriety, expediency and expected behavior. A policy is normally implemented by law, rule, procedure, or some other formal guide for action and is not discretionary but mandatory. PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL: A roadway which serves the major centers of activity of urbanized areas, the highest traffic volume corridors. It carries most of the trips entering and leaving the urban area, as well as most of the through movements bypassing the central Village. PROGRAM: For purposes here, a program is a sequence of efforts to achieve an objective in a specific substantive area, such as housing, recreation programs, etc. A program in its broadest definition is a sequence of efforts to be performed toward any objective or goal. PUBLIC TRANSIT: Passenger services provided by public, private or non-profit entities such as the following surface transit modes: commuter rail; rail rapid transit; light rail transit; light guideway transit; express bus; and local fixed route bus. RECREATIONAL USES: Areas and development used for leisure time activities and sports in an indoor or outdoor setting, including parks. RESIDENT: A person who makes his or her home in a particular place for most of the year or for a portion of the year, including a seasonal resident. RESIDENTIAL USES: Land uses consisting of dwelling units, including mobile and manufactured homes. Residential uses include assisted living facilities and group homes. RESILIENCE: The capacity to cope with hazards and stresses in a timely and efficient manner by responding, adapting, and transforming in ways that restore, maintain, and even improve essential functions, structures, and identity, while retaining the capacity for growth and change. The concept of resilience is closely related to the concept of hazard mitigation. RIGHT-OF-WAY: Land dedicated or required for transportation or utility use that a government entity owns in fee simple or over which it has an easement. ROADWAY FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION: The assignment of roads into categories according to the character of service they provide in relation to the total road network. Basic functional categories include limited access facilities, arterial roads, and collector roads, which may be subcategorized into principal, major or minor levels. Those levels may be further grouped into urban and rural categories. 11 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SENIOR HOUSING: Age-restricted dwelling units for older adults, aged 55+, who are able to care for themselves. SHARED USE PATH: A paved facility for use by pedestrians, bicyclists, and/or other users that is separated from vehicular traffic. Golf carts may be used on shared use paths in certain areas, under certain circumstances. SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED DWELLING: A single dwelling unit physically attached to other buildings, dwelling units, or structures through one or more shared walls. SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING: A single dwelling unit not physically attached to other buildings, dwelling units, or structures. SOLID WASTE FACILITIES: The term "solid waste facilities" means structures or systems designed for the storage, collection, processing, recycling, or disposal of solid waste, including hazardous waste, industrial waste, construction and demolition waste, and biomedical waste. The term includes processing plants, recycling plants, disposal yards, landfills (of any class), compost areas (excluding residential backyard composting), composting facilities, construction and demolition debris recycling areas, construction and demolition debris recycling facilities, materials recovery facilities, monofils, solid waste combustors, solid waste disposal facilities, solid waste management facilities, tire recycling areas or facilities, volume reduction plants, waste tire collection centers, waste tire collectors, waste tire processing facilities, and waste tire sites. STRATEGY: A strategy applied in this context is the marshalling of all efforts toward achieving all of the end-states embodied in objectives or policies in a manner where those efforts reinforce and support one another. A strategy is thus a comprehensive statement of policy and programs presented in a manner that achieves the desired end-states most efficiently and effectively. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: Development that meets present-day needs without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy their own requirements. It aims to improve individuals' living conditions while preserving their environment in the short, medium and – above all – long term. The objective of sustainable development is threefold: development that is economically efficient, socially fair, and environmentally sustainable. URBAN SPRAWL: Refers to the outward expansion of urban areas into previously undeveloped or rural land, characterized by low-density development such as single-family homes and commercial spaces, leading to increased reliance on automobiles and the consumption of open space. UTILITIES: The term "Utilities" means those facilities needed to serve, or which constitute a public or private utility. The term "Utilities" is limited to lines, valves, wells, water treatment plants, and injection wells which comprise a water service utility needed to serve North Palm Beach citizens; gravity mains, force mains, manholes, lift stations, monitoring stations, needed to serve North Palm Beach residents; electrical lines, poles, substations and transmission facilities which comprise an electric power utility needed to service North Palm Beach residents; lines, valves, and equipment which comprise a liquid gas utility infrastructure needed to serve North Palm Beach residents; lines, switching facilities, poles, communications towers, antennas and other appurtenances for telephone utility infrastructure to service North Palm Beach residents; and lines, hub facilities, and satellite earth station receiving facilities, and other appurtenances necessary to comprise a cable 12 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN television utility to service North Palm Beach residents. Unless expressly indicated within a Future Land Use Element, the word "utilities" will not include plants for electric, gas, or telephone service, or solid waste facilities. 13 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ACRONYMS AAA: Adaption Action Areas ADD: Average Daily Demand ASR: Aquifer Storage and Recovery AWWA: American Water Works Association BAS: Biscayne Aquifer System C-3: Regional Business District C-G: General Commercial District C-NB: Northlake Boulevard commercial district C-MU: US-1 Mixed-Use District C-T: Transitional Commercial District C-S: Shopping Commercial District CCCL: Coastal Construction Control Line CEMP: Palm Beach County Emergency Management Plan CIP: Capital Improvement Program CIS: Capital Improvement Schedule CO: Certificate of Occupancy CRA: Community Redevelopment Agency CSA: Concurrency Service Area CUP: Consumptive Use Permit D&A: Data and Analysis DERM: Department of Environmental Resources Management EAR: Evaluation Appraisal Review ECR: East Central Regional ERC: Equivalent Residential Connection ERP: Environmental Resource Permit ERU: Equivalent Residential Units FAC: Florida Administrative Code FAR: Floor Area Ratio FAS: Florida Aquifer System FAU: Florida Atlantic University FBC: Florida Building Code FDEP: Florida Department of Environmental Protection FDOC: Florida Department of Commerce FDOT: Florida Department of Transportation FEC: Florida East Coast Railroad FGBC: Florida Green Building Coalition FLU: Future Land Use FS: Florida Statutes GHG: Greenhouse Gas GOPS: Goals, Objectives, Policies GPCD: Gallons per capita per day GPM: Gallons per minute HDR: High Density Residential (Land Use) HUD: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development I-1: Light Industrial District IPARC: Intergovernmental Plan Amendment Review Committee 14 INTRODUCTION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INT-___ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ISBA: Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement kWh: Kilowatt-hour LDR: Land Development Regulations LEC: Lower East Coast (Florida) LED: Light-emitting diode LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LMS: Local Mitigation Strategy LOS: Level of Service MDD: Maximum Day Demand MGPD: Million Gallons Per Day MPO: Metropolitan Planning Organization NGARL Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge NPDES: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System OS : Conservation and Open Space district P: Public (Land Use / Zoning District) PBC: Palm Beach County PBCWUD: Palm Beach County Water Utility Department PDRP: Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan PROS: Public, Public Recreation, and Open Space (Land Use / Zoning District) PSI: Per square inch PSIG: Per square inch gauge PUD: Planned Unit Development PWS: Public Water Suppliers R-1: Single-family dwelling district.

This data and analysis section provides the framework for evaluation of key land use issues, challenges, and recommendations for the policies presented in the Policy Document. The Future Land Use Element is the pivotal element of the Village's Comprehensive Plan. It recognizes the intrinsic value of the Village as a residential community and emphasizes the Village’s support for its business partners. The FLUE sets goals and strategies that guide the type, distribution, and density of development and redevelopment. The purpose of the Land Use Element is to review existing land use patterns, analyze trends and challenges, and recommend long range policies for the next 10- and 20-years. This is accomplished by designating appropriate locations for future land uses and establishing a policy framework for managing future growth and redevelopment. These policies focus not only on the location, density, and intensity of land uses, but also on character. This Element of the Plan and the Future Land Use Map have been revised based upon the following: 1. Review of demographics data per U.S. Census; 2. Analysis of existing and future land use patterns; 3. Assessment of current redevelopment trends and related land use challenges; 4. Considerations of green development and redevelopment strategies. The Land Use Element is the critical mechanism for integrating the policies and strategies of the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan into a coherent and consistent set of land use goals, objectives, and policies. As such, the element must be consistent with all other elements of the Comprehensive Plan and incorporate the concepts and principles of these elements in its land use policies in a manner that minimizes impacts on natural and historic resources, provides and maintains public services and facilities at adequate levels of service, enhances community character, and protect the quality of life of the Village’s residents, and support businesses. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE 3 Long range sustainable community planning recognizes the interrelationship between land use, housing, and transportation. The Future Land Use Element provides an analysis of current and future data and proposes policies that will support a sustainable community by encouraging mixed uses, walkability, and green development and redevelopment practices that result in a balanced and inclusive community. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Village of North Palm Beach is one of 39 incorporated municipalities within Palm Beach County. The Village consists of approximately 3.27 square miles (4,479 acres) extending approximately four miles east to west and three miles north to south. The Village includes a portion of the oceanfront to the east which is disconnected from the rest of North Palm Beach. North Palm Beach is situated south of Juno Beach, north of Lake Park, and east of Palm Beach Gardens. There are several major arterial roadways transecting the Village from north to south and east to west. The most significant are US Highway 1, Alternate A1A, Northlake Boulevard, and Prosperity Farms Road.

Since then, population growth has fluctuated. Table 1-1 below shows US Census data from 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020. Table 1-1. Historic Population Trends Source: U.S. Census Bureau; 2020, 2010, 2000, 1990, & 1980 Decennial Censuses Population Projections The COVID-19 pandemic has changed everyday life in numerous ways. Lifestyle changes, particularly shifts in work–life balance, have gotten much greater emphasis since the pandemic started. One of the most significant changes affecting work–life balance has been the decision of some employers to let their employees work from remote locations. Another noteworthy change is that, since the start of the pandemic, over 30 million people have changed jobs for better opportunities or have left the labor force altogether. This economic trend is often referred to as the “Great Resignation.” In addition, fewer people live in densely populated cities and have sought out places which better suit their work–life balance or meet their retirement needs. These changes might have affected the permanent population of the Village. According to the Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse estimates, the permanent population of the Village will increase to 13,866 by the year 2050 as indicated in Table 1-2. Table 1-2.

This increase assumes full occupancy of all residential and transient lodging units, but does not include day tourists, shoppers, or employees in the Village. Table 1-3. projects the Village's permanent and seasonal populations through the year 2050. The seasonal population was calculated based on US Census Data of vacant seasonal units and number of persons per household for 2010 and 2020 (2010: 1,014 vacant seasonal units x 1.27 PPH) (2020: 810 vacant seasonal units x 1.20 PPH). The seasonal population projection was estimated based on population change ratio.

The racial makeup of the Village at that time was 82.22% White, 2.25% African American, 0.08% Native American, 1.89% Asian, 0.08% Pacific Islander, and 0.33% other races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race represented 9.41% of the population. Table 1-4 presents the number of households and persons per household according to the American Community Survey (ACS) from the U.S. Census Bureau. A household is defined as the person or persons occupying a dwelling unit. As the average household size decreases, the number of households or required dwelling units increases relative to the population. Of the 6,232 households in 2020, 13.7% included children under the age of 18, 44.5% were married couples living together, 27.9% were female householders with no husband present, and 4.7% were non-family households. Approximately fifty-two percent (52.0%) of the households included one or more persons who were 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.09 people. These statistics remained comparable between 2010 and 2020, except for a significant increase in male householder with no wife present and female householder with no husband present, and a decrease in non-family households and householders living alone. As shown in table 1-5, in 2020, the Village’s population was composed of 10.09% of people under 15 years old, 3.41% from 15 to 19, 4.37% from 20 to 24, 9.42% from 25 to 34, and 32.60% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 55.5 years. The population was 51.50% female and 48.50% male. These statistics remained comparable between 2010 and 2020.

Poverty level is a measure of income level issued annually by the Department of Health and Human Services. Federal poverty levels are used to determine eligibility for certain programs and benefits... As experienced elsewhere, the economic downturn and subsequent increase of unemployment during the great recession impacted income and raised the number of families and people earning less than the poverty level in the Village of North Palm Beach. However, some of those percentages have decreased as a result of the economic expansion that followed. Some residents of the Village still suffer from a higher poverty level, specifically families with a female householder and no husband present with children under 18 and children under 5. This can be attributed to the negative impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The number of families and people below the poverty level in the Village decreased from 2010 to 2020. All families decreased from 4.0% to 3.4%; all people below the poverty level decreased from 6.4% to 4.9%. More families with female householders (no husband present) were under the poverty level in comparison with married couple families.

The level of service for traffic circulation is further discussed in the Transportation Element of this Comprehensive Plan. Sanitary Sewer The Village’s wastewater and sanitary sewer systems are provided and maintained by the Seacoast Utility Authority in conjunction with public works staff. Solid Waste The Village Solid Waste Division is responsible for the collection and disposal of residential and commercial garbage, trash, bulk items, vegetation, and recycling within the Village. Although waste collection is provided in-house, the Village utilizes the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) landfill for disposal. Drainage The Village of North Palm Beach’s drainage system consists of canals and lakes that discharge into the Intracoastal Waterway. The drainage system is managed by the South Florida Water Management District, the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District, and the Village’s Public Works Department.

MacArthur Beach State Park, the Lake Worth Lagoon, the Atlantic Ocean, and various interior canals are designated as the Village’s Conservation or Open Space uses. TRENDS AND CHALLENGES The Village of North Palm Beach is evolving and has experienced redevelopment in recent years due to the increasing demand in the real estate market. This has triggered planning challenges such as protecting the character, zoning regulations and architectural design. The Village strives to maintain and enhance North Palm’s small village way of life, urban character, and scenic charm. The Master Plan prepared by Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council in 2016 addresses these considerations (see next page). With little vacant land and aging housing stock, the Village of North Palm Beach is accommodating growth through infill and redevelopment which consists of new larger residential homes and taller condominium buildings. While the Village of North Palm Beach is open to infill and redevelopment, it also embraces a vision that protects the existing small- village character and identity. The Village continues to work closely with developers to maintain the quality of life that the residents have come to expect. The Village’s existing aging condominium buildings are prime targets for buyouts and redevelopment. The impetus behind this trend is twofold: the imperative for costly repairs mandated by state regulations in 2022, and escalating construction and insurance costs. The Condominium associations of aging properties face expensive repairs mandated by state regulations passed after the collapse of South Florida Champlain Towers in 2021. These mandates further exacerbated Florida’s insurance crisis, which has resulted in fast-rising premiums, decreased coverage amounts, and insolvency among some insurers. Others are leaving the state altogether. The Village should consider creating design guidelines for redevelopment and infill that will assist developers in maintaining the overall aesthetics, environment, and redevelopment of the Village. The guidelines might include massing, articulation, height, colors, and other building design elements. The guidelines should provide criteria, requirements, and recommendations for infill and development including (a) Building Design (b) Site Planning (c) Landscaping (d) Public Streetscape. Flood Prone Areas The Village fully subscribes to FEMA’s flood risk program, while there are few flood-prone areas in the Village, any development or redevelopment within these areas would have to comply with FEMA’s flood risk program standards and its flood insurance rate maps. Additional analysis is presented in the Coastal Management Element of the Plan.

The Village has an Annexation Plan that targets some unincorporated areas between Alternate A1A and Northlake Boulevard, parcels east of PGA Boulevard and north of Jack Nicklaus Drive, and a development south of PGA between US Highway 1 and Prosperity Farms Road. These areas are also targeted for annexation by the City of Palm Beach Gardens. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan includes an (optional) Annexation Element, which identifies the Village’s Future Annexation Areas and contains goals, objectives, and policies related to future annexation. Please see the Annexation Element of this document for more specific information. 2016 Village of North Palm Beach Citizen’s Master Plan In August of 2015, the Village of North Palm Beach, in collaboration with the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), contracted with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) to study ways to improve mobility, quality of life, and economic vitality of the Village. In its FY 2016 Council Goals and Objectives, the Village articulated Goal 5 which states, “Develop a master plan for economic development in our business districts and community development in our neighborhoods.” Specifics of this Goal include holding a public charrette, review of the Village Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, preparation of a market study and economic strategies, develop a master plan with specific recommendations and renderings, and complete the plan by FY 2016. In early 2016, TCRPC conducted a significant public involvement process, including a week- long economic development and urban design charrette to assist the Village in accomplishing its goals. From Saturday, January 30, 2016, through Friday, February 5, 2016, the TCRPC team worked with over 150 citizens, elected officials, business owners, and staff in forging a strategy for redevelopment and economic growth in the Village of North Palm Beach. Working together, the team and the public created a master plan that represents the aspirations for the village’s waterfront, commercial corridors, and neighborhoods. The subject Master Plan included the following key recommendations: 1. Redefine US 1 a. Calm the corridor by pursuing a Lane Elimination to reduce the roadway from six to four lanes b. Beautify the corridor by repurposing asphalt into a new streetscape design c. Balance mobility by designing the roadway for a superior pedestrian and bicycle environment 2. Create a Form-Based Code and Design Guidelines a. Ensure private redevelopment complements public investments and contributes to realizing the vision b. Respond to market forces c. Establish predictability in the built environment and the approval process d. Maximize the waterfront e. Provide incentives for desired patterns and forms of development Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE 23 3. Improve Prosperity Farms Road a. Create a signature design feature on the bridge b. Upgrade street furniture, especially bus stops c. Install pedestrian-scaled lighting d. Ensure infill development is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood e. Adopt programs to improve distressed areas 4. Prioritize Targeted Redevelopment Areas a. Northlake Promenade Shoppes (Twin City Mall) site b. Village Center(s) along US 1 corridor c. Camelot Inn/ Marina Area d. Crystal Tree Plaza e. Potential Southwest Annexation Area f. Northlake Boulevard / Earman River Area. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE 24 Commercial Trends As mentioned, the Village along with other areas in Palm Beach County are experiencing redevelopment. Although, many may believe that the primary redevelopment opportunities and efforts for the Village are solely residential, that is not necessarily the case. In efforts to prepare the Village for future development, the Village enlisted assistance from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. In 2016, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council hosted various charrettes and created a Citizen Master Plan. The plan identified that the Village has various commercial buildings that are unlikely to be developed such as 701 US Highway 1, which was fully leased at the time of the report. In addition, the bank located at 667 US Highway 1 was fully leased and utilized all the surface parking areas. Based on this analysis, there was little opportunity for retrofitting those subject properties. However, during the charrette process, it was also noted that there is potential for redevelopment of Twin City Mall, which currently includes Northlake Promenade Shoppes. Although this is not the only property that may benefit from redevelopment, it is unique in the fact that it is located in two municipalities, North Palm Beach and the Town of Lake Park. The design of the subject property would need to embody the maritime character of North Palm Beach while including the identity of Town of Lake Park. Beginning in 2020, the world was impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Commercial businesses were required to pivot from on-site, in-person interaction to contactless online sales and services. The pandemic also interrupted the flow of supply chains for most commercial operations, resulting in higher prices for goods and services. Although the resulting increase in inflation seems to have slowed of late, economists do not predict a return to pre-pandemic prices. Nonetheless, the public has become accustomed to online shopping and remote work schedules. Along with redevelopment of certain properties within the Village, the emphasis of online shopping has affected commercial businesses within North Palm Beach. Previously, consumers were required to physically visit their brick-and-mortar retailer or commercial business to purchase goods or request services. However, with the introduction of online shopping, consumers no longer have to travel to another location. As a result, retailers have reduced their inventory and downsized or eliminated their storefronts in favor of an online presence. Repurposing and adaption of commercial plazas are current trends being considered by local governments across Florida. The mixed-use approach is highly recommended to attract residents, foster commercial uses, and support vibrant corridors. Smart Growth As a municipality that embraces a small-town character, the Village acknowledges that redevelopment is necessary for continued viability. As residential buildings, aging multi-family developments, and underutilized commercial buildings/plazas are repurposed or redeveloped, the Village supports “Smart Growth” principles. These principles provide an overall approach to development that will preserve the Village’s natural resources and small- town character. While the Village currently lacks a Mixed-Use Future Land Use designation, the Village’s current CMU Zoning District promotes such a mixture of land uses. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE 25 Key principles of smart growth include the following: • Mix land uses. • Take advantage of compact building design. • Create a range of housing opportunities and choices. • Create walkable neighborhoods. • Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place. • Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty, and critical environmental areas. • Strengthen and direct development towards existing communities. • Provide a variety of transportation choices. • Make development decisions predictable, fair, and cost effective. • Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions. Green Development and Redevelopment Because the Village has limited vacant land resulting in an increase in redevelopment of existing sites, careful consideration regarding land use and the built environment is vital to the Village’s sustainability. The subject Comprehensive Plan covers a 20-year planning period. The Village recommends policies which encourage Green Development and Redevelopment and their resulting benefits to the community. In 2016, the Village of North Palm Beach adopted a resolution that approved an Interlocal Agreement between the Towns of Mangonia Park and Lantana and other municipalities and counties. Per the resolution, Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”) program would provide funding for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and wind resistance upgrades to commercial and residential property in North Palm Beach. The Village has the opportunity to utilize various green development and redevelopment strategies. Green Development and Redevelopment promote site planning, infrastructure, and building design considerations that aim to support economic and financial assets while protecting quality of life issues and the resources and environmental elements on which a community’s well-being depends. Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC), Green Globes, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and other similar organizations offer standards and practices that promote Green Development. The FGBC web site indicates that it “is dedicated to improving Florida’s built environment through verified green certification standards for homes, land developments, commercial buildings, high rises, and municipal and county governments. These Standards are developed scientifically with state-specific criteria. They address Florida’s Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE hot-humid environment, distinctive topography, unique geology, resiliency, and natural disasters.” Many states (including Florida) offer incentives and programs for Green Design redevelopment to residents, businesses, governments, non-profits, schools, institutions, etc. The funds can be used to install energy efficient products such as photovoltaic cells, solar hot water heaters, solar pool heaters, and fuel cells. The incentives generally pay by kilowatt hour for installed products which will conserve electricity over the lifetime of the product. The following elements are part of green design principles: • Promote use of living green walls and live vegetation on the façade of a building • Rooftop green spaces (gardens, open spaces, etc.) o Native and Florida-friendly Vegetation o Provide industry requirements for membranes, root barriers, drainage systems, filter fabrics, etc. o Integrate solar panels into green roof design • Alternative building materials • Green building certifications • Installation of Solar Panels Green roofs can help absorb rainfall and reduce stormwater runoff. In addition, they create habitats for biodiversity, create aesthetically pleasing roofs, transform rooftops into useable amenities such as parks, vegetable gardens, or other recreational spaces. Green roofs are historically cooler than conventional rooftops; they can reduce a building’s indoor temperature and lower the urban heat island effect. Shade from vegetation removes heat from the air, which reduces temperatures on roof surfaces. On hot summer days, the surface temperature of a vegetated rooftop can be cooler than the air temperature, whereas the surface of a traditional rooftop can be up to 90°F (50°C) warmer [Environmental Protection Agency]. Green roofs prohibit the majority of ultraviolet radiation from penetrating the rooftop which equates to air conditioning savings and longer roof replacement periods. They also provide a habitat for butterflies and birds while filtering the rooftop water and creating less strain on storm water systems. Vegetated roofs use and filter the excess water while traditional roofs typically acquire pollutants and contribute to nonpoint source pollution which ultimately goes into the Atlantic Ocean. Green roofs can be used to mitigate storm water runoff requirements while providing an aesthetically pleasing built environment. Basic green roof systems can be installed with little or no additional engineered structural support. An intensive green roof adds about 80-150 extra pounds per square foot; extensive green roofs add about 12-50 pounds per square foot. Green roofs have been successful at several locations throughout Florida. The photos below (on the next page) include projects in Jacksonville (Breaking Ground Contracting Green Roof & Rooftop Garden); Orlando (Orlando Health MD Anderson Cancer Center Labyrinth Vegetated Roof Garden); Clermont (Honda Headquarters); and Miami (FIU College of Nursing & Health Sciences, Modesto A. Maidique Campus). 26 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE 27 Building Orientation Building orientation is the practice of facing a building to maximize certain aspects of its surroundings, such as street appeal, to capture a scenic view, for energy efficiency, for drainage considerations, etc. Along with massing, building orientation is a crucial consideration in the design phase. It should be decided concurrently with massing early in the design process, as neither can be truly optimized without the other. Successful building orientation can also minimize other site conditions, such as rainwater harvesting driven by prevailing winds. Decisions about building orientation begin early in the design phase and involve all project team members. It helps to have input from experienced passive solar design architects and builders and to consider site conditions such as temperature, solar access, and wind to evaluate design opportunities. Building orientation impacts daylighting, which also relates to building geometry, window selection, interior layout, HVAC sizing, and electrical lighting design. Utilizing computer simulation software and energy modeling tools help to assess how building orientation and passive design considerations affect overall building performance. 27 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE Building orientation is usually intended to maximize solar gain during the cooler months, and to minimize solar gain in the warmer months. The sun is lower in the sky in winter than in summer, allowing designers to plan and construct buildings that capture (free) heat in winter and repel heat in summer. Best orientation can increase the energy efficiency of a building, making it more comfortable to live in and less expensive to maintain. Buildings that are oriented east-west rather than north-south harness daylight and control glare along the long faces of the building, minimizing glare from the rising or setting sun. Passive and Active Solar Strategies Passive solar strategies use building components to collect, store, distribute, and control solar heat gains. Such strategies include implementing large, south-facing windows, sourcing building materials that absorb and slowly release heat, manipulating building form to influence ventilation, and minimizing unwanted heat gain through proper window selection and glazing. Shading devices such as roof overhangs or landscaping also reduce solar load. Active solar strategies capture and store the sun’s energy through mechanical or electrical means. Solar photovoltaic systems generate and store electricity, while solar thermal systems heat liquid directly and transfer thermal energy for heating water or air. Solar-ready buildings have south-facing roofs that are not shaded by nearby trees, structures, or buildings. Buildings oriented for passive and active solar result in multiple benefits: • Utilize solar, a renewable energy source, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slowing fossil fuel depletion. • Connect occupants to the natural environment by responding to changing weather conditions and providing window views. • Provide daylighting, which decreases electrical lighting requirements and increases occupant satisfaction and productivity. • Employ thermal massing, which reduces temperature swings and produces a higher degree of temperature stability and thermal comfort. • Reduce heating and cooling costs through natural heating/cooling and ventilation. • Lower operation and maintenance costs by requiring fewer moving parts and opportunities for mechanical failure. Considering life-cycle costs and annual energy and maintenance savings, buildings designed to maximize solar access are often less expensive than conventional buildings. Passive solar features, such as south-facing windows, thermal mass, and roof overhangs, can theoretically pay for themselves by reducing mechanical heating and cooling loads, unit size, installation, operation, and maintenance costs. Compared to passive solar systems, active solar systems often have a higher initial cost and longer payback period depending on the size and the type of technology but may be offset with currently available federal and state tax credits. Building Resiliency Building orientation for passive and active solar design enhances a building’s resiliency by maintaining livable conditions in the event of power interruption and loss of heating fuel. Daylight-optimized buildings provide interior light, and highly insulated buildings with natural ventilation maintain thermal comfort for building occupants. Photovoltaic systems with battery storage and islanding inverters provide emergency “power islands” during storm or other grid outages. 28 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Green Stormwater Infrastructure manual encourages the integration of stormwater practices and policies into the development process. A site's landscaping and open spaced areas can be used to retain and treat stormwater on- site rather than transferring potentially polluted stormwater off-site. Urban Forestry and Landscaping Trees are a vital component of the infrastructure in our community and provide many environmental and economic benefits. These benefits include cleaner air, soil and water conservation, climate moderation, energy conservation, human health and longevity, increased property values, traffic calming, and enhanced biodiversity. Urban forestry is the care and management of tree populations in urban settings for the purpose of improving the urban environment. Because the tree canopy consists of living organisms that grow, change, and respond to environmental factors, this valuable natural resource requires management to thrive. Urban forestry emphasizes the role of trees as a critical part of the urban infrastructure. Urban foresters plant and maintain trees, support appropriate tree and forest preservation, conduct research, and promote the many benefits trees provide. Employing urban forestry policies will bring environmental and economic benefits to the Village of North Palm Beach by reducing the need for air conditioning, absorbing sunlight, reducing ultraviolet light, cooling the air, and reducing wind speed -- in short, it will improve the Village’s microclimate and air quality. 29 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE Another economic benefit associated with urban forestry is increased land, property, and rental value. Well-maintained trees and landscaped business districts have been shown to encourage consumer purchases and attract increased residential, commercial, and public investments. Numerous studies have shown that there is a direct relationship between home value, public health, and street trees. In her article “City Trees and Property Values,” Kathleen L. Wolf indicates that home prices increase by 6 to 9 percent when there is good tree cover in a neighborhood, and a 10 to 15 percent increase when there are mature trees in a high- income neighborhood. Urban forests improve air quality, absorb rainwater, improve biodiversity, and potentially allow recycling of 20% of waste which is wood based. Many cities today have issues with stormwater management systems that can no longer hold the volume of stormwater water generated by today’s climate conditions. One sustainable solution to this problem is putting grates underneath street trees to hold water. Trees and their soils work to filter runoff pollution and soil contaminants by absorbing them and processing them into less harmful substances. They also collect water in their limbs which release the water back into the atmosphere over time. This makes trees aa viable and important solution to stormwater runoff and urban heating issues. Urban forestry can be subject to NIMBY (not in my backyard) arguments because some people occasionally experience trees as a nuisance or as a cause for disputes between neighbors. Citizen complaints frequently include concerns about too much shade, leaf litter, low hanging and falling branches, undesirable seeds, pods or fruits, and bird droppings. Many of these objections can be overcome by educational programs that promote the careful selection, placement, and routine maintenance of trees. The benefits of trees in our communities far outweigh any real or perceived inconveniences. Another area of concern is the damage to homes and buildings that can result from tree roots or falling trees. Cases of damage to building foundations from invasive roots are typically the result of improper siting of trees and buildings relative to each other. The young sapling planted by the front door today will become the giant oak of tomorrow with roots that might damage walkways and foundations. Proper education about site and species selection is critical. Falling trees often result from unstable root systems and/or severe storms. It is important to understand regional soil types and the routine maintenance practices necessary to promote healthy root systems and to reduce the other circumstances that might cause a tree to fall (disease, rotten wood, a too-heavy crown, etc.) Nonetheless, the damage from trees remains 30 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE low in proportion to the number of trees and the many direct and indirect benefits they provide. The following should be considered when formulating codes and standards for Urban Foresting: • Include clear and concise definitions of key terms • Include risk assessment evaluation requirements • Define minimum landscape standards and mitigation requirements • Specify what type of trees are required in certain locations • Provide incentives or penalties to developers, landscape architects, etc. • Provide educational opportunities for the community A number of cities in South Florida support Urban Forestry and qualify as Tree City USA communities. Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, and Lantana have been designated as Tree Cities in the state of Florida. The sustainability and long-term quality of our community will benefit by including urban forestry policies and code language in the Village’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. 31 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE FINAL REMARKS The Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan outlines the future development and growth of one of Florida's vibrant coastal communities. Rooted in the village's unique heritage, rich history, and culture, this comprehensive plan seeks to create a sustainable and resilient village that enhances the quality of life for its residents and visitors alike. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan embrace the sustainable community concept: An urban area with a long- term planning and management vision that incorporates a multi-modal transportation network; walkable, mixed-use patterns of development; denser development where infrastructure exists; civic spaces and interconnected open spaces for recreation; economic vitality and job choices; choices in housing price and size; a quality educational system; and a unique identity. The Village’s sustainable community concept serves as an umbrella under which all the elements of the Plan are developed. As a village with a strong economic foundation built on tourism, trade, and diverse industries, the Comprehensive Plan seeks to strike a delicate balance between preserving the village's natural beauty, fostering responsible growth, and promoting economic prosperity. The Comprehensive Plan aims to create a sustainable environment, addressing challenges posed by climate change, sea-level rise, and protecting the village 's unique ecosystems. It envisions a village with well-connected transportation networks, encouraging alternative modes of travel and reducing congestion to improve mobility and accessibility. Preserving North Palm's cultural heritage and historical landmarks are integral components of the Plan. Emphasizing the importance of smart urban design, the plan seeks to revitalize neighborhoods, promote affordable housing, and enhance public spaces to foster a sense of community and pride. Safety and resilience are of paramount concern in the Comprehensive Plan, with strategies in place to mitigate potential natural hazards, enhance emergency response systems, and safeguard the well-being of residents and visitors. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan is a forward-thinking document that envisions a Village that celebrates its past, embraces the present, and looks ahead to a sustainable, vibrant, and inclusive future. As the village continues to evolve and face new challenges, this plan serves as a guiding compass, shaping policies, and decision-making to ensure North Palm Beach continues to thrive as a cherished destination and a place its residents are proud to call home. 32 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan FLU ____ PEOPLE & PLACES FUTURE LAND USE The following table includes the major goals of the Village’s proposed Comprehensive Plan: • Protect quality of life of residents and support locally owned business development within the community, and the economic resilience that it creates • Embrace community participation and dialogue • Preserve community identity and historic character • Protect its natural and built environment, encourage urban forestry • Adopt sea level rise policies and regulations • Provide walkable, mixed-use developments and support multi-modal transportation network • Promote sustainable practices (drainage, green, buildings and site plans, etc.) In summary, the Village should continue to implement specific strategies and policies that protect residents’ quality of life and support the business community by encouraging and promoting sustainable, compact development patterns, and fostering the “live, work, play, learn” concept. Such strategies should include: • Plan for infill and redevelopment of existing single-family dwellings that are being demolished and replaced by newer homes; • Consider creating design guidelines for redevelopment and infill areas to protect the character of the Village; • Promote walkable and connected neighborhoods that provide for a mix of uses at urban densities and intensities that support a range of housing choices and encourage a multi-modal transportation system; • Improve non-auto-dependent connectivity between residential, shopping, entertainment, and employment areas by providing interconnected sidewalks, bike lanes/paths, and expanded regional transit service; • Build a more resilient, adaptive community to address environmental impacts from sea level rise; • Support green development and redevelopment policies and consider amending the Village’s LDRs to be consistent with green initiatives supported by the Comprehensive Plan; • Direct future economic growth and associated development to areas of the Village in a manner that does not have an adverse impact on natural resources and protect ecosystems; • Encourage infill and mixed-use development • Assess the capacity of existing infrastructure to support higher density and intensity uses along corridors; • Promote Florida Friendly landscaping to support water conservation; and, • Consider preparing an Urban Forestry Master Plan including available grants. 33 Annexation Data and Analysis Chapter 1: People and Places Element 2 ANNEXATION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX -___ PEOPLE & PLACES DATA & ANALYSIS A. INTRODUCTION The Village of North Palm Beach recognizes the impact that annexation can have on the resources of local governments. Although it is not required by Florida Statute, the Village has adopted this optional element into its Comprehensive Plan to provide the Village with a detailed outline for addressing future annexation and ensuring the Village has the tools necessary for smooth transition. Florida’s 1974 Municipal Annexation or Contraction Act provided a mechanism for municipalities to annex or recede from territory. This act allows municipalities to annex territories that are “contiguous, compact, unincorporated,” and developed for urban purposes. Florida Statutes Annexation is addressed in Chapter 171 of the Florida Statutes. The Chapter is separated into two parts: Part I – Municipal Annexation or Contraction (ss. 171.011-171.094) and PART II – Interlocal Service Boundary Agreements (ss. 171.20-171.212). Parts I and II are also subdivided. PART I addresses annexation procedures, prerequisites to annexation, character of the area to be annexed, voluntary annexation, and the annexation of enclaves. Part II addresses interlocal service boundary agreements, prerequisites to annexation under PART II, and consent requirements for annexation of land. The following are definitions for certain Annexation terms: • “Annexation” means the adding of real property to the boundaries of an incorporated municipality, such addition making such real property in every way a part of the municipality. • “Compactness” means concentration of a piece of property in a single area and precludes any action which would create enclaves, pockets, or finger areas in serpentine patterns. Any annexation proceeding in any county in Florida must be designed in such a manner as to ensure that the area will be reasonably compact. • “Contiguous” means that a substantial part of a boundary of the territory sought to be annexed by a municipality is coterminous with a part of the boundary of the annexing municipality. The separation of the territory sought to be annexed from the annexing municipality by a publicly owned county park; a right-of-way for a highway, road, railroad, canal, or utility; a body of water, watercourse, or other minor geographical division of a similar nature, running parallel with and between the territory sought to be annexed and the annexing municipality, shall not prevent annexation, provided the presence of such a division does not, as a practical matter, prevent the territory sought to be annexed and the annexing municipality from becoming a unified whole with respect to municipal services or prevent their inhabitants from fully associating and trading with each other, socially and economically. 1 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ However, nothing in this subsection may be construed to allow local rights-of-way, utility easements, railroad rights-of-way, or like entities to be annexed in a corridor fashion to gain contiguity; and when any provision of any special law prohibits the annexation of territory that is separated from the annexing municipality by a body of water or watercourse, then that law shall prevent annexation under this act. • “Enclave” means:  Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded on all sides by a single municipality; or  Any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded by a single municipality and a natural or manmade obstacle that allows the passage of vehicular traffic to that unincorporated area only through the municipality. • “Feasibility study” means an analysis conducted by qualified staff or consultants of the economic, market, technical, financial, and management feasibility of the proposed annexation or contraction, as applicable. • “Interlocal service boundary agreement” means an agreement adopted under Part II between a county and one or more municipalities, which may include one or more independent special districts as parties to the agreement. B. BACKGROUND In the past, interested property owners have initiated annexation requests in the Village of North Palm Beach. However, the Village views annexation as beneficial to the Village and is receptive to proposals for annexation, provided such proposals do not create undue hardship for service delivery. The Village continues to attempt to expand its existing boundaries by adding new residents. As part of the Optional Map Series, the Annexation Map indicates the existing Village of North Palm Beach boundaries as well as potential annexation areas. For two decades, the Village has made strides toward annexation. Table 2-1 lists the Village’s annexation initiatives from 2001 to 2023. Throughout the years, the Village has annexed both residential and commercial properties off major throughfares such as US Highway 1 and Alt. A1A. 2 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ Table 2-1: Village Annexation Initiatives Year Adopted/NPB # Amendment Summary Acres 2001/01-1.1 Amended Plan to incorporate a 0.65-acre annexation in Planning Area 5.

EXISTING CONDITIONS The Annexation Areas (Acreage) Map of the Optional Map Series indicates six areas within the Village of North Palm Beach with the potential for annexation. The total annexation area is approximately 688.1 acres which would dramatically increase the size of the Village. Enclaves and Pocket Areas The elimination of enclaves effectively curbs urban sprawl and lessens the undesirable impact that uncontrolled growth has had on Florida’s resources. As defined by Florida Statutes, enclaves are any unincorporated improved or developed area that is enclosed within and bounded by a single municipality and/or a natural or manmade obstacle that allows the passage of vehicular traffic to that unincorporated area only through the municipality. Annexing enclaves requires coordination between county and local municipalities. It can create difficulties for emergency service providers (medical/rescue, police, and fire departments) to respond to emergency situations. Per F.S. 171, “the Legislature recognizes that enclaves can create significant problems in planning, growth management, and service delivery, and therefore declares that it is the policy of the state to eliminate enclaves. In order to expedite the annexation of enclaves of 110 acres or less into the most appropriate incorporated jurisdiction, based upon existing or proposed service provision arrangements, a municipality may: (a) Annex an enclave by interlocal agreement with the county having jurisdiction of the enclave; or (b) Annex an enclave with fewer than 25 registered voters by municipal ordinance when the annexation is approved in a referendum by at least 60 percent of the registered voters who reside in the enclave. However, this section does not apply to undeveloped or unimproved real property.” In addition, pocket areas generally occur along the outer perimeter of a municipality. Although pocket areas differ from enclaves, filling in the irregular growth patterns in pocket areas would result in more coherent boundaries, making the jurisdiction limits more definable. Intergovernmental Coordination Annexation of unincorporated property in Palm Beach County requires extensive coordination. Unless the area is within the municipality’s utility service boundaries, residents of the area to be annexed are typically using County infrastructure. In such cases, it is important to recognize that the annexation may require conversions from septic tanks and well water to municipal sewer and potable water. Prior to any annexation, the jurisdiction must ensure concurrency between the subject areas. D. TRENDS AND CHALLENGES Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council Annexation Analysis In 2022, the Village of North Palm Beach entered into an agreement with TCRPC to conduct an annexation analysis. The purpose of the analysis was to help the Village obtain any potential issues related to annexation. TCRPC would conduct due diligence, evaluate opportunity and outreach to various stakeholders. The project kickoff meeting was conducted with Village staff on April 26, 2022. In attendance was the Village Manager, 4 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ Planning Director, and the Village’s Legal Counsel. At the kickoff meeting, the some of the following topics were discussed: • Methodology for Village staff to analyze benefits and costs for potential annexation candidates such as ad valorem taxes; utility taxes and fees • Seacoast Utility Authority rate structure and lack of differential for Village or County customers • Code Enforcement • Future Land Use Map designations • Other topics Following the kickoff meeting, two additional project coordination meetings were conducted with the project team and Village Staff. The first coordination meeting was conducted on September 22, 2022. The coordination meeting included the Village Manager, Special Projects Director, and the Finance Director. Topics discussed that the meeting included the following: • Prioritize meetings with Seacoast Utilities and Palm Beach County • Annexation interests by Palm Beach Gardens in Annexation Area 1 (west of the FEC railroad corridor) • Need for additional GIS mapping related to annexation and other Village priorities Subsequently, on October 14, 2022, a coordination meeting was conducted with the Village Manager, Public Works Director, and Information Technology (IT) Manager. The following topics were discussed at the meeting: In addition, TCRPC reviewed background documents and policies from the Village, Palm Beach County, Seacoast Utilities, and the Department of Health. The following findings were obtained from the various agencies: • Palm Beach County maintains a Future Annexation Area Map. Per the County map, Areas 1, 2 and 3 are all indicated to be in the declared future annexation areas of both the Village and the City of Palm Beach Gardens. • The Village Comprehensive Plan indicates the Village’s annexation interest particularly for industrial and or business park land uses in Area 1 (described as north of Northlake Boulevard and west of Alternate A-1-A) pursuant to a desire to increase the municipal tax Chapter 13 addresses annexation, noting statutory provisions and requirements and placing emphasis on the desirability of annexation in Areas 1, 2, and 3. The Village emphasizes the need to coordinate with the City of Palm Beach Gardens regarding the City’s de-annexation of Ellison Wilson Road and a flag-shaped lot located west of Ellison Wilson Road. • Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR) Services are currently provided in potential annexation areas 1, 2, and 3. Additional coordination will be needed with PBCFR if annexation efforts are advanced in these areas. • Seacoast Utilities provides water and wastewater services to the Village and the potential annexation areas. • The Department of Health regulates septic tanks; however, they do not maintain maps of failing septic tanks. Stakeholder meetings were conducted with Seacoast Utilities and Palm Beach County. The City of Palm Beach Gardens declined to participate in a stakeholder meeting, and a meeting with the Town of Lake Park was suspended due to the preliminary findings. Summaries of the stakeholder meetings were as follows. 5 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ Seacoast Utilities A meeting was conducted with Seacoast Utility Authority on January 31, 2023, including the Village Manager and Special Projects Director along with the Seacoast Executive Director and Director of Planning. Discussion topics included the following: • “Seacoast customers in the Village pay a 10-11% surcharge, which Seacoast provides to the Village annually. For the Village, this surcharge generates roughly $70-80,000 monthly, totaling $891,000 in 2022. • This fee is collected in the Village, Town of Juno Beach, and Town of Lake Park; however, it is not collected in the City of Palm Beach Gardens or unincorporated Palm Beach County. Therefore, unincorporated properties annexing into the Village would incur additional utility costs given the current rate structure. • Two key areas for additional Village/Seacoast coordination include resilience and permitting in Village rights-of-way. Regarding development activities, Seacoast staff participates on the development review committees for the Village, Lake Park, and Palm Beach Gardens but not for the County. • Septic to sewer conversions are anticipated east of A-1-A, including Richard Road, Honey Road, Conroy Drive, and Lorraine Court with a preliminary cost estimate of $4.5M. Similar conversions to the north along Richard Road and Hinda Road are estimated at $3M. There is funding potentially available through the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and Legislative appropriation, which creates a partnership opportunity for Seacoast and the Village. • The Seacoast water main on US1 represents an opportunity for collaboration. If the water main is moved to the alley, the remaining water line could be used for reclaimed water for landscaping as well as the Country Club.” Palm Beach County A meeting was conducted with Palm Beach County on March 22, 2023, including the Village Building Official and County Planning Director and senior planning staff. Discussion topics included the following: • “The alignment of Congress Avenue remains uncertain, with continued evaluation led by the County engineering department. • The County has expressed preference for expanded workforce housing where possible. In Area 1, with the County’s HR12 land use, a maximum density of 28 du/acre is achievable with the following assumptions: • Properties along Northlake Boulevard include both Commercial High and HR 8 future land use designations. County regulations allow density to be clustered, enabling a maximum density of 20 du/acre, which can be aggregated and located on any portion of the total acreage of assembled properties. In addition to the residential density, the Commercial High FLU designation allows up to 0.85 FAR base intensity with a maximum intensity of 1.0 FAR for traditional neighborhood or traditional marketplace development. • The implications of SB 102 (the Live Local Act of 2023) are unknown; however, as written, it would appear a maximum height of 8 stories should be considered. 6 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ (NOTE: SB 102 as adopted allows subject properties to utilize the maximum building height permitted within one mile)” Following the preliminary findings and analysis, the Village requested that the TCRPC annexation study be halted. As part of the analysis, TCPRC created the below annexation analysis as an example of potential taxes for a property that annexes into the Village. Strategic Annexation Plan Although, TCRPC prepared an annexation analysis for North Palm Beach, the Village could continue this initiative by creating an Annexation Strategic Plan. The Annexation Strategic Plan will provide necessary data and information to guide the Village in the process of annexation surrounding properties both commercial and residential. In addition, it would evaluate the costs and benefits of annexation potential adjoining areas and define a suitable implementation strategy to annex specific areas. 7 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ The annexation plan would be divided into three (3) phases: Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3. Phase 1 would provide an analysis of the decennial Census and Palm Beach County data related to potential annexation areas. Furthermore, Phase 1 would include the following: • Detailed maps and photos of the annexation areas • Key Planning Data (population, zoning, future land use, size-acres) • Property Appraisal Information • Projected Ad Valorem per Village Millage Rate • Summary Table of Taxable Value and Ad Valorem Tax per each potential annexation area Phase 2 would present project revenue to be received and projected costs to serve each targeted area. This phase would provide detailed analysis of existing conditions and level of services as follows: • Infrastructure (water, sewer, drainage, parks, and road conditions) • Building Department and Code Enforcement • Public Safety (Fire Rescue/Law Enforcement) • Inventory of Revenue and Costs The cost analysis would review the expected annual expenses or costs to the Village for providing Village services to the potential annexation areas; and the estimated annual review that could be expected. Also, meeting with Village Departments and service providers would be critical task within Phase 2. Meetings should be conducted amongst Village Departments such as: • Police • Fire Rescue • Finance • Public Works • Code Enforcement • Parks and Recreation • Community Development In addition, it would be important to meet with the following service agencies: • Seacoast Utility Authority • Palm Beach County Fire • Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office • Solid Waste Authority Phase 3 would provide prioritization of potential annexation areas based on the findings of the previous phases, and the recommendations from the Village Council. The main goal is to present specific strategies to annex target areas. This effort might include community outreach, online surveys, brochure presenting benefits, social media and others. Political Challenges Residents’ resistance to change often impedes attempts at annexation. In many cases, residents of unincorporated areas are accustomed to receiving certain services at no cost and understandably oppose any measure that would increase taxes. From a municipality’s perspective, however, annexation adds a financial and management burden on its existing operations and infrastructure. The use of local roads, parks, and other related amenities by residents of unincorporated areas without taxation burdens the municipal tax structure. 8 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ In general, unincorporated Palm Beach County residents are subject to lower taxes than municipal residents because they are taxed only by the County rather than by both the municipality and the County. Annexation into the Village of North Palm Beach would not only increase taxes for former County residents but sometimes subject them to stricter local regulations, ordinances, and codes. Also, North Palm Beach’s proximity to various unincorporated pockets creates overlaps in jurisdiction with neighboring municipalities. As indicated on the Annexation Map including Surrounding Municipalities of the Optional Map Series of this Comprehensive Plan, the Village competes with the City of Palm Beach Gardens and the Town of Juno Beach for annexation of certain unincorporated pocket areas. The Village is also attempting to coordinate the de-annexation of the Ellison Wilson right-of- way and the “flag lot” with the City of Palm Beach Gardens. This de-annexation effort has been in process for several years and has been an ongoing struggle for both municipalities. Furthermore, as mentioned in the Future Land Use and the Infrastructure Element of this Plan, the Village utilizes Seacoast Utility for its potable water services which imposes a surcharge on Village residents. Residents of unincorporated areas also pay a surtax for County fire/rescue and police. Because North Palm Beach provides those services in-house, the surtax would be replaced by the Village’s tax structure. Oftentimes, municipal residents oppose annexation citing drain on municipal resources and a general preference for a small-town lifestyle. Increased taxes and additional regulations are among the reasons residents of unincorporated areas are hesitant to join the Village. Although the elimination of enclaves and unincorporated pocket areas is encouraged by the State as well as the County, political issues often block attempts at annexation. In March 2024, thousands of residents from unincorporated Palm Beach County near North Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens voted on whether to have either municipality annex their properties. North Palm Beach proposed to annex four neighborhoods (182 dwellings) that are also in Palm Beach Gardens’ annexation area, putting both municipalities in direct competition for the same neighborhoods. For an annexation to take effect, a municipality must receive approval from 50%-plus-one of the subject voters. Table 2-2 indicates the three annexation zones in North Palm Beach which comprise a little over 200+ homes. The proposed annexation efforts sought to round out the Village’s boundaries and provide more control over development and redevelopment in the area. However, residents of the subject annexation areas voted against joining the Village of North Palm Beach. Table 2-2 – Annexation Voting Areas Annexation Zone Annexation Neighborhood Size (Acres) 1 Portage Landings and Hidden Key residential developments 61 acres 2 Ellison Wilson Road 8.57 acres 3 Pirates Cove and six (6) adjacent parcels 17 acres 9 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ Although its most recent annexation attempt failed, the Village should continue its efforts toward annexation, and consider conducting a study to analyze property values, property taxes, population, and county zoning codes of the targeted unincorporated areas in order to craft a strategic plan for incremental annexation. While squaring off North Palm Beach’s boundaries and increasing the Village’s taxbase would benefit the Village, a larger population would increase the demand for services such as: • Solid Waste • Potable Water • Sanitary Sewer • Parks and Recreation • Police • Fire Rescue • Community Services • Public Works As a result, staffing levels in certain departments might need to be increased. For example, the Building Department/Zoning Department may need additional staff to process an increase in permit requests and additional code enforcement officers might be needed to enforce village ordinances on newly acquired property. 10 ANNEXATION PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ANX-___ E. FINAL REMARKS To continue to grow, the Village of North Palm Beach must expand its boundaries to include unincorporated properties. It is critical that any annexation initiative take into consideration the best interest of both the Village and the owners of the property to be annexed. North Palm Beach’s approach to annexation will be more beneficial for everyone if annexation, like any growth, is accomplished according to a well-conceived strategic annexation plan. Without a plan, the annexation of any property can lead to inadequate or inefficient delivery of services. Palm Beach County has a primary leadership role to support eliminating unincorporated areas and promoting annexation. In 2001, Broward County adopted a policy that encouraged unincorporated areas be annexed into municipalities to improve services and support local governments. To date, Palm Beach County residents have opposed annexation into the Village. However, the Village should continue to implement specific annexation strategies and policies that will protect the current residents’ quality of life while providing services, staffing, and budgeting to accommodate new residents. Strategies for efficient and effective annexation include the following: • Developing a strategic plan for annexation that includes a feasibility study; • eliminating enclaves and pocket areas; • coordinating with adjacent municipalities and the County; and, • continue dialogue with the County to emphasize support to reduce unincorporated areas. 11 Housing Data and Analysis Chapter 1: People and Places Element 3 HOUSING PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ DATA & ANALYSIS A. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Housing Element is to guide the preparation of plans and policies necessary to assure the availability of safe, sanitary, affordable, and otherwise adequate housing for the existing and future needs of the Village of North Palm Beach for the next 10- and 20-years. Pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, all land development regulations, and development permitting actions are required to be consistent with all Elements of a Comprehensive Plan. Section 163.3177(f)1, Florida Statutes, requires a Comprehensive Plan to include, “A housing element consisting of principles, guidelines, standards, and strategies to be followed in: a. The provision of housing for all current and anticipated future residents of the jurisdiction. b. The elimination of substandard dwelling conditions. c. The structural and aesthetic improvement of existing housing. d. The provision of adequate sites for future housing, including affordable workforce housing as defined in s.380.0651(1)(h), housing for low-income, very low-income, and moderate-income families, mobile homes, group home facilities and foster care facilities, with supporting infrastructure and public facilities. The element may include provisions that specifically address affordable housing for persons 60 years of age or older.” This Element examines existing housing conditions and identifies projected demand for housing in North Palm Beach and provides an analysis of the internal and external factors affecting the Village’s housing market. The Housing Element includes the following analyses: 1. Analysis of the Village’s housing inventory and its characteristics based on information provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, the University of Florida’s Shimberg Center, and the Village’s own statistics, as appropriate; 2. Assessment of current built-out status and redevelopment trends as they relate to housing supply; 3. Analysis of the extent of housing need for anticipated populations and the replacement and maintenance of existing housing units; 4. Consideration of green housing strategies; 5. Analysis of the current challenges and trends related to housing. Housing in North Palm Beach The Village of North Palm Beach is a coastal community located in the southern portion of Florida’s East Coast. According to US Census data, the Village’s population increased from 12,015 residents in the year 2010, to 13,162 residents in the year 2020, an increase of 9.54%. In addition, the Census data indicates that the Village’s housing inventory increased from 6,025 housing units in 2010, to 6,232 in 2020, resulting in an increase of 207 units (3.43%) during the same time period. North Palm Beach’s population is projected to continue to rise into the year 2050. (See Table 1-2. Population Projection in the Future Land Use Element). The real estate market has experienced rapid change over the past decade. The drastic increase in housing prices in the State of Florida is mirrored in North Palm Beach. The increase is similar to that seen during the housing bubble after the 2008 recession. Foreclosed properties are scarce, and many homes are being purchased by cash buyers despite the fact that demand is higher than supply. Housing affordability remains an issue for many North Palm Beach households. 1 HOUSING PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ Despite the volatile housing market, the Village’s residential neighborhoods (low, medium, and high density) have been improving and consolidating. Residential land use represents 55.64% of the Village’s jurisdiction. (See Table 1-14. Future Land Use Acreage in the Future Land Use Element). B. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS To effectively manage the Village’s future development, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of existing housing conditions. This section presents an inventory of all housing-related data and examines the characteristics of existing housing in North Palm Beach as required by Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. The following analysis is based on the 2010-2020 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates of the U.S. Census Bureau, which includes estimates based on a sample of households over a 5-year period. The data provided by the ACS allows an in-depth analysis of housing variables and trends. The following tables are organized in columns, each representing a 5-year period. In 2020, the US Census Bureau released its decennial Census data, providing additional information for assessing the Village’s housing conditions and demographics. However, various datasets captured in the ACS are not necessarily identical to those in the decennial Census. The following analysis includes various datasets obtained from the US Census Bureau. Occupancy and Tenure As summarized in Table 3-1 below, the US Census Bureau’s 2016-2020 American Community Survey indicated there were 8,251 total housing units in North Palm Beach, 75.5% of which units were occupied. While the number of housing units has increased since 2010, vacant units (seasonal, recreational, and occasionally used properties) decreased by a minimal 27 units from 2010 to 2020. 2 HOUSING Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ PEOPLE & PLACES Table 3-1.

Reflecting the diversity of the Village’s housing stock, as of 2020, 34.8% of all housing units in North Palm Beach were single-family detached, while 42.9% of units were in buildings that contained 20 or more units. 3 HOUSING PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ Table 3-3.

Because of the age of these structures and those built prior to 1970, these sites are considered potential redevelopment opportunities for the housing market. Housing units built prior to 1960 make up 15.3% of the Village’s total housing units. These structures might have historical significance to the Village, so despite their age, they may not be considered for potential redevelopment. These homes provide historical significance due to the architectural, cultural, or social significance. Also, they set the identity of the Village and neighborhoods as a whole. However, due to the age of these properties, the structures are often required to comply with all building safety standards. Although these residences may have historical significance, the inventory in the “Florida Master Site File” and “National Register of Historic Places,” indicates that there is currently no historically significant housing within the Village.

Housing Cost and Affordability A study by Harvard University found that “Housing is most Americans’ largest expense. Decent and affordable housing has a demonstrable impact on family stability and the life outcomes of children. Decent housing is an indispensable building block of healthy neighborhoods, and this shapes the quality of life…better housing can lead to better outcomes for individuals, communities, and American society as a whole. In short, housing matters.” [Bart Harvey, 2006, Joint Center for Housing Studies, Harvard University]. 5 HOUSING PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ As in many areas within the State, housing costs and land values in North Palm Beach continue to increase while the housing supply remains limited. Based on the U.S. Census, 2016-2020 American Community Survey, 35.4% of the Village’s housing supply is valued between $300,000 and $499,999 (see table 3-5). Between 2010 and 2020 this bracket increased from 1,497 to 1,704 units. The median value of owner-occupied housing in the Village was $345,300 in 2020. The U.S. Census also indicates that 6.6% of the Village’s owner-occupied units (318) are valued at $149,999 or less. Some of these units may be located in structures that were built in the 50s or 60s and may be considered for historical designation or potential redevelopment. However, these aging buildings are likely to incur steep assessments due to the need for major building upgrades required by recent legislation passed after the collapse of the Surfside Condominium.

Tables 3-6 and 3-7 present information regarding the mortgage status and gross rent for housing in North Palm Beach. Both tables indicate the number of units between 2010 and 2020 resulting from multiple redevelopment projects during that time. Most of the current housing supply is occupied by owners without a mortgage (51.7%). Most of these units were built between 1970 and 1979, and long-time residents will have typically paid off their mortgages. Table 3-7 compares rental prices in North Palm Beach between 2010 and 2020 in terms of gross rent. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 57.2% of the occupied units paying rent spend 35% or more than their household income on rent. This number has increased by 17.6% since 2010. Despite this increase, the information gathered from the U.S. Census indicates that rent in the Village is slightly lower than that of overall Palm Beach County.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), households spending more than 30 percent of residents’ income for housing costs are considered to be "cost burdened." Households spending more than 50 percent are considered to be "severely cost-burdened." Housing is generally considered to be affordable if the householders spend less than 30 percent of their income on housing costs. 6 HOUSING PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ Area median income — often referred to as simply AMI — is a key metric in the analysis of affordable housing. Area median income is defined as the midpoint of a specific area’s income distribution; it is calculated on an annual basis by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD refers to the figure as MFI, or median family income, based on a four-person household. AMI is typically split into the following categories: • Moderate to Middle Income (above 80% of AMI) • Low Income (at or below 80% of AMI) • Very Low Income (at or below 50% of AMI) • Extremely Low Income (at or below 30% of AMI) AMI encompasses a broad range of households likely experiencing distress because of housing costs. The portion of income taken up by housing costs is likely to limit the householders' ability to afford other necessities. Moreover, an AMI of 80% is the traditional measure of eligibility for programmatic housing assistance. For example, all beneficiaries of the federal public housing program and federal HOME program earn incomes below 80% AMI. This need indicator serves as an approximation of the total number of households that would benefit from some type of housing assistance, particularly if homeless and migrant households are added. Such assistance includes the construction of new affordable housing units and the provision of subsidies to make existing units more affordable. In addition to this summary level of information, a more detailed understanding of the presence of low-income and cost-burdened households can help local governments plan for and target assistance. The following supplemental tables provide this additional level of detail for North Palm Beach. Note, however, that the number does not include homeless individuals and families, as they are not included in household enumerations. It also does not include the many migrant farmworker households missed by Census counts. As a summary indicator of local housing affordability, the Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse, Shimberg Center for Housing Studies, provides various data that indicates the cost burden by income for both renters and owner-occupied households. Table 3-8 and 3-9 indicate the AMI based on household income and the housing cost burden percentage per AMI category. Table 3-8 indicates the cost burden for owners, while table 3-9 indicates the cost burden for renters. Because household income for owners and renters in North Palm Beach is relatively high, there is a minimal number of residents who are considered to be cost burdened. 7 HOUSING Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ PEOPLE & PLACES Table 3-8.

The number of bedrooms per housing unit has generally remained the same, with minor fluctuations from 2010 to 2020. The data in Table 3-11 indicates that Village households were not overcrowded between 2010 – 2020. The significantly higher number of retirees in North Palm Beach may account for the higher percentage of units with 1.00 or fewer occupants per room.

C. TRENDS AND CHALLENGES This section presents the trends and challenges facing the Village in terms of housing supply and demand. With approximately 27 acres (less than 2%) of vacant land within its existing corporate limits, the Village of North Palm Beach has almost reached “built out” status. This increases North Palm Beach’s reliance on redevelopment or annexation of contiguous land HOUSING Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ PEOPLE & PLACES for further growth. Please see the Annexation Element of this Plan for further details on the specific areas the Village is considering for annexation. Due to the lack of available land, the trend in North Palm Beach has turned to the acquisition of properties for redevelopment or the replacement of existing structures with new and larger residences. The appeal of North Palm Beach’s residential communities fuels the upward trend in property values. Increased housing prices in North Palm Beach makes housing unaffordable for some. The Village’s goal is to balance the need for affordable units with the existing housing supply while offering a variety of housing options. Palm Beach County’s Affordable Housing Needs Assessment analyzed housing data to illustrate and assess the intensity of housing challenges throughout the County. The Assessment concluded that affordable housing is an urgent issue which impacts how municipalities will be developed and redeveloped. The COVID-19 Pandemic had significant economic and social impacts on the County, specifically on housing affordability. Conditions that contribute to the urgency of the affordable housing crisis include: • Increased rental cost • Lower household income • Increased demand for rental properties • Lack of new affordable housing units Single Family Residences Residential land use accounts for approximately 967.39 acres or 55.64% of the Village, compared to 219.29 acres or 12.61% for commercial development. This land distribution is consistent with the predominantly residential character of the community. Approximately 39.38% of the Village’s development is low-density residential. With approximately 27 acres (less than 2%) of land vacant, North Palm has reached built-out status within its existing corporate limits. This increases North Palm Beach’s reliance on redevelopment or annexation of contiguous land for further growth. Please see the Annexation Element of this Plan for further details regarding specific areas the Village is considering for annexation. Aging Condominium Buildings Some multi-family residential buildings in the Village are aging. For example, some of the buildings along Paradise Harbour Boulevard were constructed in the 1970s. These condominium owners are facing increased assessments due to the need for major building upgrades required by recent legislation passed after the collapse of the Surfside condominium. These sites have potential for redevelopment or new structures. The Village’s mix of housing types contributes to the strength of its housing market. Energy Efficient Residential Structures Energy efficient goals and green building standards should be considered for the design and construction of new residential development and redevelopment. Funding opportunities such as the “PACE” program are available for residents and owners who wish to improve energy efficiency in their housing stock. The State of Florida and private energy companies such as Florida Power & Light have incentives programs available for residents, businesses, governments, non-profits, schools, institutions, etc., to promote energy efficiency. The funds from such programs can be used 10 HOUSING PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ to install energy efficient products such as photovoltaic cells, solar hot water heaters, solar pool heaters, and fuel cells. The incentives generally pay by kilowatt hour for installed products which will conserve electricity over the lifetime of the product. The Village supports these types of programs to assist residents and business owners to move toward a more sustainable future. The Village may also consider the implementation of a Green Building ordinance to promote green building certification programs such as LEED, Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC), and other programs for the development and redevelopment of energy-efficient buildings. Such an ordinance would include green building standards and less restrictive redevelopment regulations to support green design. North Palm Beach Citizens’ Master Plan In 2016, the Village worked in collaboration with the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), now known as the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (TPA), and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), to develop a master plan for economic and community development. The objectives of the plan are to improve mobility, quality of life, and economic vitality of the Village’s residents and business community. The Village Master Plan illustrates strategies for achieving those objectives and establishing goals and policies to implement the plan. A Market Analysis was conducted to identify the Village’s future demand for residential and commercial development. The Citizen’s Master Plan highlights the following key recommendations: • Redefine the US 1 corridor • Improve Prosperity Farms Road • Formulate Design Guidelines and create a Form-Based Code of Ordinances • Prioritize Targeted Redevelopment Areas The Master Plan also suggests multiple recommendations for providing residential rehabilitation programs. These programs assist homeowners with major or minor structural or aesthetic improvements to their properties. Home Ownership Programs like these provide supplemental funding through grants or loans to help potential homebuyers. In addition to the homeowner programs, the plan references neighborhood beautification and landscaping programs that could be used to improve the overall look/feel of a neighborhood by providing cohesive landscaping, benches, lighting, and neighborhood signage. Neighborhood association programs could be supported by municipal staff or active community members to assist in the creation of beautification and landscaping programs. Substandard Housing Although, there is a need for housing, it is important that the housing stock provided is adequate and safe. According to National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH), there are approximately six (6) million homes in the United States are considered substandard. Substandard housing conditions include lack of bathroom or kitchen facilities within a household, leaking roof, broken air conditioning, and outdated or faulty electrical systems. Residents cannot inhabit structures experiencing these unsafe living conditions. It is important that the Village continue to strive to eliminate these substandard housing conditions or require them to meet the local building codes. Through code enforcement and permitting, the Village can continue to reduce the amount of substandard housing within North Palm Beach. Housing Assistance Programs 11 HOUSING Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ PEOPLE & PLACES Housing in Palm Beach County as well as other portions of the State continues to be an ongoing crisis for many. However, there are resources available to assist people in purchasing homes or even finding places to rent. Palm Beach County created a Housing Action Plan called “Housing for All.” The goal is the plan is to provide funding and financial resources that will be used to develop, rehabilitate, and preserve 20,000 units of workforce and affordable housing in Palm Beach County over the next decade. The plan emphasizes the need for an increase of workforce and affordable housing. With this plan as a blueprint, the County has created a vision for sustainable access to financially feasible and diverse housing options. Furthermore, there are various non-for-Profit Organizations that continue to assist in decreasing the housing crisis. Habitat for Humanity is a global non-for-profit organization that works in more than 70 countries. The organization has helped more than 59 million people improve their living conditions since 1976. Habitat works with families, local communities, volunteers, and partners from around the world to provide safe and affordable homes. In Palm Beach County, the global brand has a local affiliate named “Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County”, which continues to provide housing for many residents. Another housing assistance group within the Village of North Palm Beach is the NET Team (Neighborhood Enhancement Team). The NET team is a group of Village employees that work with volunteers and residents to ensure neighborhoods remain desirable places to live. NET team is comprised of members from the respective Village departments, who help residents with outreach plans for crime walks, neighborhood clean-ups, beautification projects. Also, they evaluate code violations that affect neighborhood quality of life. Lastly, Florida Section 8 Housing is a program funded by the federal government that provides rental assistance to low-income individuals and families. Also known as the Housing Choice Voucher program, it allows participants to find and rent housing from private landlords with assistance from the government. Special Needs Like many other communities in South Florida, the Village has an aging population that is also in need of housing. The Village must inclusively provide housing options to accommodate this demographic. The Village has multiple nursing homes that serve the North Palm Beach area. Within the Village, there is the New Day Adult Care Center, which is a nonprofit mission of Faith Lutheran Church of North Palm Beach. New Day Adult Care Center enhances the lives of dependent adults and their caregivers by providing quality social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, physical, and compassionate care in a community- based program. Hibiscus Palace North Palm is a co-ed assisted living facility that provides care to seniors in need of assistance with the activities of daily living. The homes range in size from 6 to 14 beds. In addition to the North Palm Beach location, there are facilities in Lake Worth, Wellington, and Royal Palm Beach. These homes are specifically designed to meet the care and safety needs of our residents. Palm Beach Memory Care is another assisted senior living facility in North Palm Beach. Palm Beach Memory Care offers The Pathways Programs that offers residents with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia with a level of holistic care. The Pathways Program promotes maintains residents’ quality of life and provide them with the ability to connect with loved ones. 12 HOUSING PEOPLE & PLACES Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan HOU-___ Along with assisted living and senior living, the Village has residential treatment facilities that provide outpatient treatment for those in need of drug and alcohol assistance. The Good Life Treatment Center provides various paths to help patients with recovery and treatment. The goal is to build relationships with patients while fostering their wellness. The Village continues to provide housing for residents of all. FINAL REMARKS Based on the present analysis, the Village should continue to implement specific strategies and policies to encourage and promote diverse hosing types and sustainable development patterns, as follows: • With regard to housing diversity and sustainability, the Village shall promote infill development, redevelopment, and flexible zoning regulations, and designate adequate sites and appropriate land use designations to ensure a diverse housing stock for all its residents. • The Village shall continue to support neighborhood enhancement projects. Mixed- use zoning will be promoted to provide the flexibility necessary to stabilize and revitalize older neighborhoods while protecting those neighborhoods from incompatible uses and encouraging compatibility through context-sensitive building and site design. • The Village shall continue to promote resource conservation programs and energy- efficient construction. Proximity of residential units to transit services and pedestrian and bicycle interconnectivity shall be emphasized. Furthermore, the Village shall consider providing development incentives for projects that meet or exceed the Green Building standards. • The Village prides itself on quality of life for its residents, consider preparing neighborhood plans to heighten this goal by protecting and enhancing the neighborhood identity. Considerations for improvement might include walkability (sidewalks, access to parks and open spaces), lighting, infrastructure, landscaping, tree plantings, and other elements. 13 Efficient & Well-Maintained Infrastructure Transportation Capital Improvement Infrastructure Transportation Data and Analysis Chapter 2: Efficient and Well-Maintained Infrastructure Element 4 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 1 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 2 DATA AND ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION The Village of North Palm Beach is committed to providing a safe and efficient transportation network while maintaining the Village’s character and economic viability. The purpose of the transportation element is to analyze the Village’s existing transportation-related issues and prepare to mitigate future transportation challenges. This chapter examines existing conditions, identifies trends and future transportation challenges, and provides specific recommendations to address them. Pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, all land development regulations, and development permitting actions are required to be consistent with the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. This document provides the relevant data, inventory, and analysis of transportation conditions to support the Goals, Objectives, and Policies in the Transportation Element of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, as required by Florida Statutes (FS) 163.3177(1)(f). EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CRITERIA Jurisdiction Jurisdiction refers to the “ownership” of, and responsibility for maintenance of each roadway. For example, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) controls access to, and is responsible for, maintaining roadways within its jurisdiction. Palm Beach County and the Village have similar responsibilities for roads within their jurisdictions. It should be noted that the Village has the authority to establish the Level of Service standards for all roads within the Village, regardless of jurisdiction. In addition, jurisdiction can be transferred amongst FDOT, Palm Beach County, and the Village upon agreement by the affected entities. Roadways North Palm Beach is served by a network of state, county, and local roads which range from six-lane thoroughfares like Northlake Boulevard and U.S. Highway 1 to two-lane local neighborhood streets. Table TE-1 summarizes the number of lanes, functional classification, jurisdiction, and Level of Service (LOS) for the Village’s roadways. This information is also illustrated in the Number of Lanes Map and the Functional Classification Map as listed in the Required Map Series in the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. Table TE-1.

Roadway Network The roadway network consists of roadway segments or links, road intersections, bridges, rights-of-way, signalization, signage, roadway amenities, and significant parking facilities. The Roadway Network subsection also presents safety-related data. Segments A roadway segment or link is a portion of a roadway defined for the purpose of traffic analysis. The segment origination and termination points are typically signalized intersections or the point where the number of lanes in a roadway changes. Segments can be classified by lanes and functions. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 4 Number of Lanes A map depicting the roadways used to achieve the Village’s mobility goals and the number of lanes for each is provided as part of the Required Map Series of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. Functional Classification All roadways within North Palm Beach are assigned a Functional Classification by the Florida Department of Transportation, the Transportation Planning Agency (TPA), and the Federal Highway Administration. Functional classification is the grouping into categories based on the character of service each road provides. The functional classification designation is reviewed at least once every ten (10) years following the decennial Census. Table TE-3 indicates the five functional classification categories common to all roadways. Table TE-3. Federal Functional Classification System for Roadways Federal Functional Classification System Urban Principal Arterial Minor Arterial Collector Local Source: Highway Functional Classification Concepts, Criteria and Procedures, Federal Highway Administration. When assigning the function of a road, the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) considers a road’s trip capacity in relation to the total public roadway network’s requirements. A road is classified based upon its most significant trip purpose; however, a road may serve more than one significant trip purpose. The federal functional classification system recognizes twelve (12) significant trip purposes. Table TE-4 lists the significant trip purposes related to each functional classification. Arterial roadways are classified as either principal or minor. Table TE-4. Functional Classification by Trip Purpose Functional Classification by Trip Purpose Trip Purpose Functional Classification Travel to and through urbanized areas Arterial Travel to and through small urban areas Arterial National defense Arterial Interstate and regional commerce Arterial Access to airports, seaports, and major rail terminals or intermodal facilities Arterial Access to major public facilities Arterial Interconnection of major thoroughfares Collector Access to minor public facilities Collector Interconnection of minor thoroughfares Collector Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 5 Functional Classification by Trip Purpose Access to concentrated land use areas Collector Access to diffuse land use areas Collector Travel between home, work, entertainment, and shopping destinations and nearest road on the primary network composed of arterial and collector roads Local A roadway serving only one defined purpose is classified as a minor arterial, while one serving more than a single defined purpose is classified as a principal arterial road. All limited access highways and roads that connect urbanized areas are considered to serve several trip purposes, and thus are classified as principal arterial roads. A collector road’s purpose is to provide access to minor public facilities, cross-connection between roads, access to concentrated land use areas, and access to diffuse land use areas. Source: FDOT 2023 Multimodal Quality/LOS Handbook Intersections and Interchanges An intersection is defined as the general area where two or more roadways join or cross at grade, including the roadway and roadside facilities for traffic movements within the intersection. An intersection is an important part of the roadway network because its design influences the efficiency, safety, speed, cost of operation, and capacity of roadways. Interchanges are designed to permit traffic to move freely from one road to another without crossing another line of traffic. North Palm Beach does not include any interchanges since I- 95 and the Turnpike are outside the Village’s municipal boundaries. As defined by FDOT, interchanges are system of interconnecting roadways in conjunction with one or more grade separations, providing for the interchange of traffic between two or more roadways or highways on different levels. Right-of-Way The major cost for transportation improvement projects involves right-of-way issues; therefore, the acquisition of the needed land should be planned far in advance of the scheduled construction date. Although many rights-of-way are owned and maintained by the Village, there are also various state- and county-owned roads that require coordination with FDOT and Palm Beach County for maintenance and construction. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 6 Alleyways North Palm Beach has various alleys along US Highway 1. These alleyways are used to service businesses along the US-1 corridor and allow residents to traverse the community without utilizing US Highway 1. Currently, the alleyway accommodates vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Recently, North Palm Beach instituted a project for the repair of the west alleyway pavement utilizing full depth reclamation; this upgrade restarted the service life of the alleyway. The contract for repair of this alley was awarded in January 2021, and final payment was issued in October 2021. The wall in the Village’s east alleyway is currently in disrepair. In March 2024, the Village entered into a design agreement with Engenuity Group, Inc., to prepare plans for replacing the east alleyway wall. After the wall is replaced, the Village will assess the need for roadway pavement repair or rehabilitation of the east alleyway. It is important that any modifications of the alley continue to take into consideration the safety and access of all users. Signalization Signalization is an important component of a roadway system. It controls the volume and flow of traffic passing through a particular intersection. For isolated (that is, non-system or uncoordinated) operation, the signal type indicates a traffic signal’s cycle length, phase plan, and phase times. There are currently two types of signals in use: actuated signals and semi-actuated signals. Intersections with actuated signals have vehicle detectors for all approaches. Each phase is subject to a minimum and maximum green time and some phases may be “skipped” if no vehicle demand is detected. Semi-actuated signals only have detectors located on minor streets. The signal is set such that the green is always on the major street unless a vehicle is detected on the minor street. The pre-timed signal has a preset sequence of phases in repetitive order. Each phase has a fixed green time and change interval that is repeated in each cycle. Safety Vehicles today have more and better safety features than ever before. Technological advancements have improved braking, stability, and collision avoidance. However, accidents still occur, especially on major throughfares. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 7 Table TE-5 shows the frequency of pedestrian and bicycle accidents within the Village limits over the last five years. The data indicates that pedestrian and bicycle safety measures along Northlake Boulevard, Prosperity Farms Road, and US-1 should be considered. Northlake Boulevard currently accommodates pedestrian traffic, but not for bicyclists. Prosperity Farms Road, the major bicycle route through the Village, and U.S. Highway 1 currently have accommodations for both pedestrians and bicyclists. However, the Village of North Palm Beach does not own either of these roadways. To ensure the safety of North Palm Beach residents, the Village should coordinate with the State and County to implement buffered bicycle lanes for both of these thoroughfares. Table TE-5 – Frequency of Pedestrian and Bicycle Incidents Table TE-6 shows the frequency of vehicular accidents within Village limits over the past five years. Northlake Boulevard and US-1 are the most traveled Village thoroughfares and therefore experience the most vehicle incidents. The two fatalities on US-1 did not occur at intersections.

Traffic calming design elements minimize the necessity for modification of existing roads or lowering speed limits, while maximizing the safety of drivers, cyclists, and pedestrian traffic. One or more of the following traffic calming elements can be used to reduce potential roadway accidents: • narrower travel lane width • fewer number of travel lanes • on-street parking • street trees to visually narrow roadway • modern roundabouts • mini circles • medians • curb extensions, chokers, and bulb-outs • raised/textured crosswalks • raised pedestrian tables • bike lanes • small radii at corners The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) provides several publications to help establish cities as places for people with safe, sustainable, accessible, and equitable transportation choices. The association provides publications that discuss travel widths and speeds. Many factors determine lane width decisions, however, it is important to design roadways with the intention of safety. A combination of proper speed limits and narrowed roadways has been considered a secure option to enhance safety for all users. Parking There are no public parking lots in the Village of North Palm Beach. Residential and commercial development must include adequate on-site and/or on-street parking for Village Council approval. Level of Service Level of Service (LOS) is a quantitative stratification of quality of service established in the Highway Capacity Manual, published by Transportation Research Board. The LOS quality of service is divided into six letter grades, A through F, with A being the best and F being the worst. It is important to note that LOS for urban roadways that are controlled by signals is based on average travel speeds over a distance of 0.5 to 2 miles. Table TE-7 summarizes the LOS for roadways based on the speed limit of the roadway. Table TE-7.

Urban traffic congestion stands out as a primary concern for many communities across the United States, including the Village of North Palm Beach. In response to this growing need, cities are increasingly adopting interconnected multimodal transportation networks. These networks aim to distribute trips across various transportation modes, thereby alleviating strain on the roadway network. One of the Objectives of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan is the development of a multimodal transportation system. In North Palm Beach, these modes include walking, bicycling, automobile, and public transit. Public transit includes scheduled bus transit (Palm Tran) and commuter rail service (Tri Rail) which extends from the Mangonia Park station to the Miami Airport. Per the 2022 U.S. Census Bureau ACS, it is estimated that the majority of residents in North Palm Beach and surrounding municipalities drive to work alone. In North Palm Beach approximately 6 percent of residents carpool to work, 2 percent walk to work, 1.3 percent bike to work, and 1.5 percent use other modes of transportation. A comparison of North Palm Beach’s commuting patterns to nearby municipalities is illustrated in Table TE-8. Table TE-8. Journey to Work Data – North Palm Beach and Surrounding Jurisdictions Modal Split North Palm Beach Palm Beach Gardens Juno Beach Lake Park Drive Alone 72% 73% 52.5% 79.8% Carpool 6% 7.5% 8.1% 10.2% Public Transportation 0.17% 0.35% 0% 0% Walk 2% 0.81% 0% 0.76% Bike 1.3% 0.71% 0% 0% Other Means 1.5% 0.12% 0% 0% Worked From Home 17% 16.2% 38.4% 7.7% Source: US Census American Community Survey 2022 As is evident from Table TE-8, commuting patterns in North Palm Beach justify a focus on alternatives to single-occupant vehicles; hence, the need for multimodal transit systems within the Village. It should be noted that a number of transit rider’s bicycle to the transit stop from their trip origin or destination. The following sections examine the current state of bicycle and pedestrian traffic as well as public transportation in the Village of North Palm Beach. The Village of North Palm Beach and the City of Palm Beach Gardens have similar statistics relating to multi-modal transit. By comparison, Juno Beach has a higher percentage of residents who work from home and fewer residents that drive their cars alone to work. Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities North Palm Beach has a significant number of residents who bicycle to community destinations, shopping, and recreational facilities. Despite its relatively small size, the Village supports two nearby bicycle shops: Lake Park Bicycles and Trek Bike Shop. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 10 Bicycle facilities consist of paved shoulders, bicycle lanes, sharrows (roads striped to indicate a shared lane environment for bicycles and automobiles), and trails. Pedestrian facilities consist of sidewalks, buffered sidewalks, and trails. The TPA prioritizes safety for all roadway users, including pedestrians and bicyclists. Bike lanes are present along Prosperity Farms Road, northbound and southbound from Northlake Boulevard to Canal Road. The existing bike lanes, shared paths, and buffered sidewalks within the Village can be seen in Bicycle and Pedestrian Sidewalks Map of the Optional Map Series of this Plan. Transit Palm Tran provides service within the Village along US Hwy. 1, Northlake Boulevard, and Prosperity Farms Road. As indicated in Table TE-9, Palm Beach Gardens has a higher rate of Palm Tran ridership than North Palm Beach, and North Palm Beach has a higher ridership than other surrounding municipalities. Approximately 0.17% of North Palm Beach residents use Palm Tran to get to and from work. Palm Tran currently serves North Palm Beach with the following routes: Table TE-9 – Palm Tran Routes Through North Palm Beach Route Service Area 1 US-1 21 Prosperity Farms Road and Northlake Blvd Evacuation There are various canals within North Palm Beach, and its close proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean make it susceptible to potential flooding. Florida’s hurricane season begins in June and runs through November. It is imperative that the Village maintain its emergency evacuation plan with specified evacuation routes. The Evacuation Routes Map of the Optional Map Series of this Plan indicates evacuation routes within the Village. Bridges Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 11 Lighthouse Drive Bridge The Lighthouse Bridge is owned by the Village. The subject bridge was built in 1958 and has a structure ID No. of 936550. It is located on Lighthouse Drive, approximately 0.3 miles east of Prosperity Farms Road. However, FDOT’s bridge inspection service has designated it as “functionally obsolete.” The existing two-lane bridge has a sidewalk with an aluminum handrail on the south side. Non-standard concrete bridge railings are located north and south of its travel lanes. Improvements to the bridge have been authorized and the proposed design will accommodate a similar 2-lane typical section with inclusion of sidewalks and bike lanes. Parker (US Highway 1) Bridge US Highway 1 crosses the Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW) via the Village’s Parker Bridge (Bridge No. 930004). Parker Bridge is a double leaf bascule bridge with independent moveable spans for northbound and southbound traffic. It is located at the northeastern edge of the Village, just north of the North Palm Beach Country Club. The inside lanes of the four-lane bridge are 11-foot wide; outside lanes are 12-foot wide. It has a 10-foot-wide concrete median, and barrier-separated 5-foot sidewalks on each side of the roadway. In the closed position, the bridge provides a horizontal channel clearance of 90-feet and a vertical clearance of approximately 25-feet at high tide. Per the U.S. Coast Guard’s website, the bridge opens regularly on the quarter- and three-quarter hour, as needed, seven days a week. The Parker bridge is owned and maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District 4. It was constructed in 1956 and underwent significant widening and reconstruction in 2010. Historical imagery confirms that the 2010 reconstruction involved the overall widening of the bridge to add barrier-separated sidewalks; the approach spans were also widened. A new tender house was built and decorative pedestrian railing, and decorative lighting were added. All four steel bascule leaves were completely replaced. The structural, mechanical, and electrical systems of the upgraded bridge are in good working order. Routine inspections are done on a yearly basis to verify that all components are in safe working condition. Overhead signals and swing arm gates at either end of the bridge alert drivers and pedestrians when the bridge is in an open position. The swing arm gates prohibit vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians from entering the bridge. Despite these countermeasures, pedestrian fatalities at bascule bridges occur each year. As part of FDOT’s Target Zero initiative, the agency is investigating systems that can be installed on bascule spans to scan for the presence of pedestrians and bicyclists and prevent the bridge from opening if detected, or alerting the bridge tender, who could then take appropriate actions. It is unknown at this time if FDOT will install a system of this type on the Parker (US-1) Bridge. The Intracoastal Waterway is a heavily travelled commercial and industrial waterway. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic movements must stop when a moveable bridge is opened for vessel passage. A fixed-span bridge at this location would likely require a navigational vertical clearance at high tide of approximately 65-feet. Approximately 1,000 feet of bridge length on either side navigational span would be needed to achieve the necessary grade separation, which would impact traffic at the Lakeshore Drive intersection to the north and restrict access from northbound US-1 to/from the Marina Bay Condominium development. A fixed-span bridge would likely face opposition from mariners with large vessels who currently have unlimited vertical clearance all the way to the Ernest Lyons Bridge in Stuart, Florida via double- leaf bridges. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 12 Earman River Bridge Since the collapse of a portion of the Earman River bridge in 2017, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has been working on plans to reconstruct the bridge on U.S. 1. The Village has been urging FDOT to include pedestrian amenities and architectural features on the bridge to enhance the appearance of its “front door” and to improve pedestrian and bicyclist access. The Village Council has been reviewing design elements for improving pedestrian amenities such as lighting, landscaping, bench design and placement, garbage can design and placement, proposed overhead trellis design, the design of railing, color schemes, and the width of a combined sidewalk/bike path, which currently is contemplated to be 11 feet, 4 inches wide. These sidewalk paths would be constructed on both sides of the bridge and would provide pedestrians with enhanced views of the waterway below. The Village is working collaboratively with FDOT to determine the final design. FDOT will provide most of the funding for construction costs and will oversee the entire rebuild project. The Village will contribute funding for some of the pedestrian amenities and is investigating available grants for this project as well. FDOT is planning to raise the bridge approximately 18 inches above the current height, which would allow passage of bigger boats on the Earman. As part of the redesign, the Village Council considered a proposal to build a boardwalk under the bridge to allow pedestrians to cross beneath the roadway; however, it was decided that a boardwalk would be too costly. Reconstruction will include a second right turn lane on the southbound section of U.S. 1 between the bridge and Northlake Boulevard to facilitate western-turning traffic. FDOT plans to build the bridge to accommodate three lanes in each direction, regardless of whether or not the Village moves forward with a proposal to repurpose the outer lanes on U.S. 1 from Anchorage Drive South to Anchorage Drive North. The portion of U.S. 1 south of Northlake Boulevard, will retain its two-lanes configuration in each direction. Because additional engineering work is still needed, the final bridge design has yet to be determined. Construction of the new bridge is expected to start in 2025. Prosperity Farms Bridge Palm Beach County owns the bridge that crosses the Earman River on Prosperity Farms Road. Palm Beach County intends to replace the bridge utilizing funds from the Infrastructure Surtax Initiatives approved in 2016 by Palm Beach County voters. The Village continues to coordinate with the County to design a bridge that would create a memorable entryway into the Village, Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 13 as well as attractive outdoor public space for local enjoyment. The future redesign must be consistent with the Village’s Citizens' Master Plan (adopted by the Village Council in 2016). Although the County’s plans are incomplete, it is anticipated the new bridge will be elevated at least 18 inches (to facilitate boat traffic), and that sidewalks will be significantly wider than they are now. The illustrations below show two possible design styles for the bridge. TRENDS AND CHALLENGES Redevelopment Trends Redevelopment produces both positive and negative effects. Currently, the Village is preparing for commercial and residential redevelopment. Recently, the Village received an application for a project called “Village Place” which would occupy the former “Twin Cities Mall” property. The subject property is located in two municipalities, the Town of Lake Park and Village of North Palm Beach. This project proposes to redevelop the existing 13.155-acre site to include a mixture of commercial, residential, and civic uses which will significantly increase traffic on the Village’s and neighboring communities’ existing roadways. The proposed development is divided as follows: • Parcel 1 = 2.70-acres (Max Height – 14 stories) • Parcel 2 = 5.27-acres (Max Height – 14 Stories) • Parcel 3 = 1.34-acres (Max Height – 9 Stories) • Parcel 4 = 1.61-acres (Max Height – 9 Stories) • Civic Open Space = 1.08-acres • Road R.O.W. = 1.155-acres Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 14 The development has an estimated population increase of 2,236 people, the four (4) proposed parcels will consist of 947 multi-family dwelling units, 206 age restricted multi-family dwelling units, 222-room hotel, 131,100 sf retail, 9,790 sf pharmacy, 5,000 sf bank, 3,028 sf fast food and gas station with convenience store. The development proposes a maximum Floor Area Ratio (“FAR”) of 2.75 as depicted below: • .229 - Retail/Commercial/Public Service • 1.596 - Apartments • .347 – Senior Living • .344 – Condominiums • .234 – Hotel Total: 2.75 (MAX) = 1,575,851 sf Although, the proposed development qualified for the Coastal Residential Exception (CRE), the applicant created and submitted a traffic impact statement, which was created by Simmons & White. The report was conducted in 2023 and provided data related to traffic generation, existing traffic, trip distribution, and several other analyses. The below Table TE-10 (Table 7 from Traffic Impact Statement) indicates the trip generation of the existing development, proposed development, and overall increase. According to the table, the proposed development will increase the daily trips by 5,484. Table TE-10: Trip Generation for Village Place Also, the impact statement must be provided to Palm Beach County Traffic Division for review. Following the impact statement, the County provided the applicant with their Traffic Performance Standards (TPS) review letter. Construction in neighboring municipalities and by other governmental entities also affects North Palm Beach’s traffic system. Palm Beach County has approved a project that will extend Congress Avenue from Park Lane to the Richard Road/ Alternate A1A intersection. The extension will reduce the number of lanes at the intersection from 4 to 2 lanes with a proportionate reduction in rights-of-way. In addition, the proposed project will extend Congress Avenue from Northlake Boulevard to Avocado Lane and will include the construction of 2 new lanes of roadway, a closed drainage system, shoulders, and sidewalks. Schools North Palm Beach includes two (2) schools within its boundaries: the Conservatory School and the Benjamin School. It is important that schools have efficient and effective dismissal and drop-off plans to control congestion caused by school buses, additional vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists to ensure the safety of students and minimize traffic disruption. Complete Streets “Complete Streets” is a nationally recognized program referring to streets and sidewalks that are designed, operated, and maintained to enable safe and convenient access and travel for people of all ages and abilities: pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and freight and motor Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 15 vehicle drivers. Complete Streets initiatives are a natural complement to communities’ sustainability efforts, ensuring benefits for mobility, community, and the environment. A lane reduction/elimination program also known as a “road diet,” is a process wherein the average daily trips and the predicted daily trips on specific roadways are calculated to determine whether or not the existing number of traveling lanes and widths are effective. Streets that have undergone road diets have proven to be safer while increasing pedestrian travel and connectivity. For example, in 2017, the Village of Tequesta (a neighbor of the Village of North Palm Beach) applied Complete Streets principals to reconfigure a 1.4-mile stretch of US Highway 1 connecting Beach Road and County Line Road. The reconfiguration included closing the outside northbound and southbound lanes, reducing the roadway to two lanes each direction. Existing turn lanes were widened, buffered bike lanes were added, and patterned pavement crosswalks constructed. In addition, the road was milled and resurfaced, sidewalks were widened and replaced, and lighting in the area was improved. Characteristics of Complete Streets Complete streets are streets that are designed to accommodate all users of a roadway: pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders. Each Complete Street is unique and is designed to respond to the needs of a specific community. However, some common Complete Street elements may include sidewalks (with adequate lighting and width), bike lanes (or wide paved shoulders), public transportation, pedestrian refuge islands, road diets, bulb-outs, streetscapes, on-street parking, buildings framing the street, crosswalk signage, and various forms of landscaping. Complete Street Concept Rendering Example Complete Streets initiatives should be designed for a specific area. For example, sidewalks in South Florida should be landscaped to provide shade for pedestrians. The Village could implement the following complete streets initiatives to promote safety and a diversity of transportation modes: • Pedestrian infrastructure such as sidewalks, traditional and raised crosswalks, median crossing islands that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), audible crossing cues for people with limited vision, pushbuttons reachable by people in wheelchairs, curb cuts, and curb extensions. • Traffic calming measures that lower speeds and define the edges of automobile travel lanes, including road diet measures; center medians; shorter curb corner radii; elimination of free-flow right-turn lanes; angled, face-out parking; street trees; planter strips; and ground cover. • Bicycle accommodations, such as protected or dedicated bicycle lanes, neighborhood greenways, wide paved shoulders, and bicycle parking. • Public transit accommodations, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), bus pullouts, transit signal priority, bus shelters, and dedicated bus lanes Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 16 • Roundabouts to decrease the number of vehicle crashes and provide safer crossing for pedestrians. Table TE-11 below summarizes some common elements of complete streets: Table TE-11. Common Elements of Complete Streets Common Elements of Complete Streets Bike Lanes Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Buffered Bike Lanes Curb Extensions/Bulb-outs Neighborhood Greenway Median Islands/Refuges Multi-Use Trails/Shared Use Paths Lighting Cycle Tracks On-Street Parking Good Sidewalk Design Shading/Trees Crosswalks Bus Shelters Interactive Flashing Beacon Road Diets Micro-Transit The Village supports accommodating micro-transit modes such as street-legal golf carts and circuit vehicles. In 2021, the Village adopted Ordinance 2021-06 which included regulations for the operation of golf carts in North Palm Beach’s rights-of-way. Per the Ordinance, golf carts with speeds that do not exceed twenty (20) miles per hour can operate on Village streets, alleys, and in parking areas that are open to the public. Furthermore, golf carts are permitted on the roadway portions of all village streets and alleys unless prohibited by a traffic control device; however, they are not permitted in village parks. Lastly, golf carts are prohibited on any county road or state highway, unless permission or consent from the appropriate agency has been obtained. In many metropolitan areas, electric scooters (e-scooters) and electric bicycles (e-bikes) are increasingly being used especially by the younger population for commuting around downtowns and central business districts. This form of micro-mobility reduces congestion, improves air quality and health, and provides a fun and inexpensive mode of transportation. However, the introduction of these new forms of micro-mobility has been accompanied by an increase in crashes and serious injuries. Education in the safe use of micro-modal vehicles is paramount. The Village shall study the proper venue for e-scooter use. Ride Sharing For decades, taxicabs were the only automobile-sharing option in many metropolitan areas. While taxicabs are still prevalent, over the past decade the introduction of dynamic ride sharing companies such as Lyft and Uber are competing for automobile-sharing customers. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 17 These companies provide a less-expensive alternative to taxicab use and are more convenient than mass transit. Electric Vehicles Local governments are seeking solutions to current power challenges and evaluating the technological changes necessary to conserve resources, increase resiliency, and to reduce their contribution to global climate change. In 1886, a German mechanical engineer, Karl Benz, received the first patent for a gas-fueled car (DRP No. 37435). Until recently, gas-powered cars dominated the automobile industry. Tesla’s introduction of electric vehicles has challenged that dominance and major automobile companies have begun manufacturing electric powered vehicles (EVs). Unlike the conventional gas engine, electric vehicles cost less to operate, are subject to government funding/incentives, provide a better driving experience, and reduce noise and air pollution. An increase in EV infrastructure coupled with the use of multi-modal vehicles will hasten the shift from gas-dependent vehicles to environmentally friendly alternatives. The Village supports the construction of electric vehicle infrastructure and shall incorporate regulations for such infrastructure in its land development process. Vision Zero Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. The strategy was first implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, then became prioritized across Europe and many cities in the United States. In February 2018, the Governing Board of the TPA adopted targets of zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries and continued to renew this commitment annually. The concept, known as “Vision Zero,” promotes a culture of safety grounded in six key principles: • Traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries are preventable and unacceptable • Human life takes priority over mobility • Human error is inevitable, so the transportation system should allow for it to happen without death or serious injury • A system-level approach to safety should be adopted to effect change • Safe human behaviors, education, and enforcement are essential contributors to a safe system. • High speed is a primary cause of traffic death and serious injury; it should be managed with sensitivity to vulnerable road users To support its commitment to Vision Zero, the TPA adopted a Vision Zero Action Plan on April 18, 2019, and an updated version on October 16, 2021. Each year, the TPA evaluates plan and considers whether any updates are necessary. Of the 39 municipalities in Palm Beach County, the following communities participate in Vision Zero: • Belle Glade • Boca Raton • Boynton Beach • Delray Beach • Greenacres • Juno Beach Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan TE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION 18 • Jupiter • Lake Park • Lake Worth Beach • Palm Springs • Wellington • West Palm Beach • Westlake SUMMARY Based on the analysis of existing conditions, trends, and challenges for the Comprehensive Plan’s 20-year planning period, the Village shall continue to implement specific strategies and policies for maintaining and enhancing its roadways and updating its Transportation Element as follows: • Improve existing roadway network to accommodate demographic increase and redevelopment; • Continue to coordinate with agencies such as Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach County Transportation Planning Agency, and Florida’s Department of Transportation (FDOT) to maintain and improve existing roadways; • Consider the creation of a Village Mobility Master Plan; • Consider the implementation of “Complete Streets” principles within the Village; • Continue to strengthen the provision of public transportation throughout the Village; • Anticipate future improvements to roadways to mitigate sea level rise impacts • Enhance the pedestrian and vehicular environment to accommodate all types of users; • Implement electric vehicle infrastructure; • Develop regulations for multi-modal vehicles; • Continue to monitor the Village’s growth, redevelopment, Future Land Use Designations, and Zoning Districts to ensure that its transportation network will accommodate the anticipated increase in use; and, • Consider preparing a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan to support Village’s residential character. Capital Improvement Data and Analysis Chapter 2: Efficient and Well-Maintained Infrastructure Element 5 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 1 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 2 DATA AND ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION The Capital Improvements Element (CIE) for the Village of North Palm Beach is developed to evaluate public facilities which are identified as needed in other comprehensive plan elements. This element also estimates the cost of improvements for which the Village has responsibility; analyzes the Village ability to finance and construct those improvements; adopts financial policies to guide the funding of those improvements; outlines requirements to ensure an adequate concurrency management system; and schedules the funding and construction of improvements in an manner necessary to ensure that capital improvements are provided when required based upon the needs identified in the balance of the Comprehensive Plan. The Capital Improvement Element identifies capital improvements needed to implement the comprehensive plan and ensure that the adopted level of service (LOS) standards are achieved and maintained for concurrency related facilities, and to implement specific objectives and policies of this Comprehensive Plan. Purpose and Components of the Capital Improvements Element The Village’s Capital Improvement Element is used as a means to assess the Village’s public facility deficiencies or arrange for others to provide capital improvements necessary to correct deficiencies in existing public facilities; to serve projected future growth; and to replace obsolete and worn-out facilities, in accordance with an adopted Capital Improvement Schedule. The purpose of the Capital Improvement Element is to: • Evaluate the need for facilities identified in the other Comprehensive Plan Elements and as defined in the applicable definitions for each type of public facility; • To estimate the cost of improvements for which the Village of North Palm Beach has fiscal responsibility; • To analyze the fiscal capability of the Village to finance and construct improvements; • To adopt financial policies to guide the funding of improvements; and • To schedule the funding and construction of improvements in a manner necessary to ensure that capital improvements are provided when required, based on needs identified in other plan elements. Components of the Capital Improvements Element The Capital Improvements Element contains the following components as stipulated in Chapter 163.3177(3)(a), F.S.: • An outline of the principles for construction, extension, or increase in capacity of public facilities; • An outline of principles for correcting existing public facility deficiencies • A review and evaluation of the concurrency management system needed to ensure that the LOS standards are maintained. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 3 • Identification of needed capital improvement projects to maintain LOS standards and implement specific Comprehensive Plan policies for stormwater, solid waste, sanitary sewer, potable water, and roads. • A schedule of capital improvements which may include any publicly funded projects of federal, state or local government (County, School District, water supply plan projects, etc.), and which may include privately funded projects for which local government has no fiscal responsibility. Projects to make sure LOS standards are met in the 5-Year planning period. • The schedule also must include transportation improvements included in the County TPA and for County roads, to the extent that those projects are relied upon to meet the LOS standards. The CIP and its Capital Improvement Schedule (CIS) must be reviewed annually by each local government. In 2011, the Florida Legislature adopted major revisions to Chapter 163, F.S. regarding the CIE that were incorporated in this update to the Comprehensive Plan and this element. The required annual update of the five-year CIS must no longer be adopted and transmitted to the Department of Economic Opportunity (now the Department of Commerce) as a comprehensive plan amendment. Instead, it now may be accomplished via ordinance and does not require a comprehensive plan amendment. While the requirement that the CIS demonstrate financial feasibility has been eliminated, capital projects must still be listed in the CIS, projected revenue sources identified and projects listed as "funded" or "unfunded" and assigned with a level of priority for funding. EXISTING CONDITIONS Through its Capital Improvements Element and related plans, the Village of North Palm Beach seeks to undertake capital improvements necessary to keep the Village’s present public facilities in good condition and to accommodate new development guided by sustainable and sound fiscal practices. Village of North Palm Beach’s Capital Improvements Plan Update The Village has developed a 5-year Capital Improvement Schedule for fiscal years 2024-2028, which includes projects supported by the General Fund, Country Club Fee, and Stormwater Utility Fee. The General Fund is the largest among the three funds. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village and accounts for all of the core services of general government (including ad-valorem taxes) that are not required to be accounted for separately. Services provided in the General Fund include: Public Safety, Solid Waste, Fleet Maintenance, Recreation, Library, Streets & Stormwater Maintenance, Public Improvements, Planning & Zoning, Code Compliance, Building, and General Administrative Services. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated as private businesses. The goal of the Village is that the full cost of operations, maintenance and capital improvements are recovered through user charges / fees / assessments. The Village has two Enterprise Funds: Country Club Fund and the Stormwater Utility Fund. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 4 The Village’s funding sources are as follows: • Ad valorem; • Utility Service Tax; • Sales & Use Taxes; • Local Business Taxes; • Franchise Fees; • License & Permits; • Non-Ad Valorem Assessment; • Judgement, Fines & Forfeitures; • Intergovernmental Revenues; • Charges for Services; • Food and Beverage; • Miscellaneous Revenue; and, • Other Sources Figure 1-1 indicates a percentage breakdown of the Village’s funding sources by Fiscal Year. As shown, taxes are the largest funding sources for the Village followed by charges for services, and permits, fees, and special assessments. Figure 1-1. Funding Sources The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for FY 2024-2028 recommends a total investment of $31.16 million into the Village’s capital facilities and equipment during a five-year period. A Capital Expenditure, for purposes of this element, is the approved budget for improvements to, or acquisition of infrastructure, park development, building, construction or expansion, utility systems, streets or other physical structure with a cost of $25,000 or more. The majority of the capital projects in the FY 2024-2028 CIP are contained in Public Works, and Parks and Recreation. However, by 2027, Fire Rescue surpasses the Parks and Recreation Department in funding request. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 5 Capital Improvement Project Overview The capital improvement projects identified in the Village Capital Projects Fund are related to transportation facilities (roads, bridges and landscaping), stormwater management facilities, and recreation facilities. Many of these projects were accomplished while others were carried over to subsequent years. Although the major infrastructure systems meet the current level of service, the Village allocates funds to plan for current and future needs. Concurrency Management System Level of service standards are indicators of the extent or degree of service provided by, or proposed to be provided by, a public facility based on and related to the operational characteristics of the facilities. The continued goal of the Village is to maintain a consistently high quality of services to the residents, while protecting the assets, the level of service, and the quality of life that the residents have come to expect. The Village’s Capital Improvement Schedule includes facilities that promote public health and safety and all facilities for which the level of service standard has been adopted: sanitary sewer facilities; solid waste facilities, stormwater facilities, potable water facilities, transportation facilities, and park facilities. The Capital Improvement Schedule may also include other facilities that enhance the quality of life for North Palm Beach residents. The level of service standards should be adopted and used as the basis for determining the availability of facility capacity and the demand generated by a development. For each facility, LOS is a measure of the relationship between demand for the service and capacity of the facility. Capacity is measured differently for each type of facility. These LOS Standards are presently established in the CIE of the Village of North Palm Beach. Concurrency Requirements The State of Florida Legislature made significant changes in 2011 to the Growth Management Act of 1985. Sections 9J-5 and 9J-11.023, of the Florida Administrative Code were repealed, with portions of both rules incorporated into the new 2011 Community Planning Act. Among the changes, “concurrency” was made voluntary. Concurrency requires that each facility within the geographic scope of a proposed project's impact have sufficient capacity to accommodate the project's demand. If capacity is not available, the project cannot be approved. Developers must exhibit that all requirements can be met and that the LOS Standards adopted in the Comprehensive Plan will be satisfied before any development order or permit is issued by the Village. In order to maintain an adequate level of service for Village facilities, the Future Land Use Plan, financial analyses, and level of service standards should serve as the basis for reviewing development applications. LOS standards affect the timing and location of development by guiding development to areas where facilities have sufficient capacity and away from areas with insufficient capacity. The standards are administered through the concurrency management system. The LOS standards are depicted in Table 1-1. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 6 Table 1-1.

During the site plan review process developers are required to provide evidence that service providers have available capacities to serve the proposed development. Letters from those service providers must be provided as part of the application and review process. Prior to the issuance of a development order or a building permit, the Concurrency review shall establish the following: • Finding on the impacts created by the proposed development • Finding as to whether the public facilities covered under the Concurrency Management System will be available concurrent with the impacts of new development at the adopted Level of Service Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 7 • Finding of facility(s) improvements or additions that are required to ensure the finding of concurrency; and • Finding of the entity responsible for the implementation of all required facility(s) improvements or additions Chapter 163.31777(3), F.S., Public Schools Interlocal Agreement, provides criteria for municipalities to qualify for exemption. For residential development, the applicant must receive a School Capacity Availability Determination (SCAD) form. SUMMARY OF MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS AND FACILITIES During the latest update to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the Village modified and expanded this plan into a more refined management tool and comprehensively identified long term infrastructural capital needs of North Palm Beach. The next phase is to responsibly fund the capital projects, which not only serve basic needs for the community, but could also potentially attract businesses and other economic activities to the Village, such as the Village Place project. The following sections provide a summary of major capital improvement projects for the five- year planning period FY2024-2028. The projects are organized according to capital facilities in the LOS Standards Table. According to the Capital Improvement Schedule, there are forty- eight (48) Capital Improvement Projects. Infrastructure: Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Solid Waste As discussed in the Infrastructure Element, at the current solid waste generation rate, the amount of garbage generated is expected to increase minimally, tempered by increased efforts to reduce waste through recycling and other waste management alternatives. The future demand of solid waste should be adequately handled by current Village staff and equipment. However, any significant changes in growth, annexation, or development would require re-evaluation of existing resources to adequately handle projected demand. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Natural groundwater aquifer recharge does not inherently require any capital improvements per se. SUA is responsible for maintaining and permitting these wells. As indicated in the Infrastructure Element, each wellfield has protection zones which are mapped by the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). According to the current CUP, all wellfields are protected by the Palm Beach County Wellfield Protection Ordinance. Zones of protection are developed, and zone requirements enforced, by DERM. Drainage As discussed in the Infrastructure Element, the Village has a Streets and Stormwater Division that is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the infrastructure throughout the Village. The Village continues to ensure that the existing drainage systems meet the adopted level of service. Areas developed in the future will be required to provide adequate storm water management improvements required to meet the adopted level of service. Stormwater Repair and Replacement Program Repair and replacement of the existing stormwater infrastructure, regrading swales and including water quality features. Stormwater repairs in 2023: East Alleyway, Cinnamon, Shore Court, Fairhaven catch basin repair, swale repairs at Kingfish.

The following table will identify capital improvements necessary to maintain the adopted levels of service; the type of facility, the anticipated cost and the timing for the improvement for each element. The following tables identify numerous Village projects for fiscal years 2024-2028. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 9 Transportation Facilities Transportation projects planned for the Village include various roadway improvements and street maintenance throughout North Palm Beach. Maintenance of the transportation network requires collaboration between the various entities that have jurisdiction over these roads and rights-of-way. The Village coordinates traffic improvement planning and maintenance with Palm Beach County and the Florida Department of Transportation in order to accomplish the improvements needed to attain a future LOS standard of Level D for streets within the Village In addressing the maintenance of LOS standards for roads within Village limits, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, requires that not only Village sponsored capital road projects must be included in the annual CIS, but also projects from the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency five-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that are relied upon to meet concurrency. The TIP identifies transportation improvements funded by Federal, State and local sources in order to assist local governments within the Palm Beach TPA area with their transportation planning efforts. In the Village, US 1: Northlake Blvd to Parker Bridge project has been included in the TPA’s five-year TIP as a Major Project. Parks The Village’s public park system is comprised of both passive and active parks, which also includes a marina. From established parks, to sports fields, to pocket parks, to neighborhood parks, to plazas, and beyond, these recreation and open space facilities are a valuable asset to the community. The current CIP includes enhancements to recreational courts, the community center, pathways, and boat ramps, see the below parks projects: • Anchorage Park Boat Ramp Renovation • Anchorage Park Pathway, Fitness station and Kayak Launch • Anchorage Park Sand Volleyball Court Renovation • Anchorage Park South Seawall and Dock Replacement • Community Center Park Enhancement (Outdoor Amenities) • Community Center Renovation (Interior & Front Entry) • Community Center Roof Replacement • Lakeside Park Basketball Court Renovation • Lakeside Park Playground Replacement • Lakeside Park Shoreline Stabilization and Restoration • Osborne Park Basketball Lighting • Osborne Park Enhancement • Veteran's Park Enhancement Schools North Palm Beach is fortunate to have several schools situated within its municipal boundaries. The following list identifies those schools. It is important to note, however, that the Palm Beach County School District is responsible for the public education system in the county including the Village of North Palm Beach. • Benjamin School • Conservatory School • St. Clare Catholic School Revenue & Financial Feasibility Overall priority for fiscal planning shall be those projects that enhance residential neighborhoods, compatible business activities, and redevelopment initiatives, as indicated in the Future Land Use Plan. Priority should also be given to projects that address major safety concerns. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 10 In setting priorities for expenditures to be included in the Capital Improvement Element, the Village should use the following criteria: 1. Public safety implications: a project to address immediate threats to public safety will receive first priority. 2. Level of service or capacity problems: next in priority would be projects needed to maintain the stated Levels of Service. 3. Ability to finance: a third criterion is the budgetary impact. 4. Quality of life projects: the next level of priority shall be given to those projects not in categories 1 or 2 but that would enhance the quality of life for residents of Village. The plan for capital improvements must be affordable and within the realm of the Village's ability to finance. This section recognizes the various forms of revenue presently available to the Village as well, as possible future sources of revenue during the five year period. Unlike roads, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, recreation and transportation, which are the responsibility of local governments, the School Board, by constitutional mandate, has the responsibility of providing educational facilities to meet the needs of current and future students as represented in the School Board’s adopted Five Year Capital Improvement Plan. The local governments, therefore, do not have control of the funding sources or the allocation of funds for new or renovated schools which would add student capacity. TRENDS AND CHALLENGES The continued goal of the Village is to maintain a consistently high quality of services to the residents, while protecting the assets, the level of service and the quality of life that the residents have come to expect. It is the result of hard work by the Village staff, and fiscally sound, responsible decisions by the Village Council that allow the Village to meet service demands while minimizing the financial burden on its residents. The Village’s primary focus is providing exceptional municipal services to its residents in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. Continued economic challenges require innovative approaches on both sides of the balance sheet. Efforts to expand contractual services to generate additional revenue should continue to be considered. In order to ensure the level of service requirements for Village’s public facilities can accommodate existing and project population demands, it is important that the CIP be reviewed by the local government on an annual basis. Modifications to update the five-year capital improvement schedule may be accomplished by the standard ordinance amendment or adoption process. In addition, the Village should prepare to reassess the LOS standards in the future as it experiences growth and evolution. With potential future development or redevelopment, the Village must prioritize capital improvement projects in this area to ensure the Village’s public facilities will continue to meet LOS requirements. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CIE ____ EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 11 With regard to capital improvement planning, major initiatives include: • To fully develop and implement a 5-year capital improvement/capital replacement plan • To keep on track with maintenance and improvements outlined in a utility revenue sufficiency and rate adequacy study to meet the Village’s objectives for a sustained high-quality utility service by providing a stable funding plan. SUMMARY A comprehensive Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan provides the Village of North Palm Beach with the opportunity to strategize on how best to implement and execute capital projects. Furthermore, the CIP constructively reflects current critical needs and projects future critical needs of the Village to ensure level of service standards and other needs continue to be met as the Village continues grow and evolve. The development of this plan requires collaboration with all the Village Departments especially the Village Manager’s Office and Finance. Additionally, the Village must coordinate certain projects with the County and State. Annual updates to the Village’s CIP and CIS will help to ensure level of service standards of public facilities continue to be met and any issues that arise be addressed, as the Village grows and evolves. Infrastructure Data and Analysis Chapter 2: Efficient and Well-Maintained Infrastructure Element 6 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE DATA AND ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION This Infrastructure Element of the Comprehensive Plan examines the various resources within the jurisdiction of the Village of North Palm Beach. It includes sub-elements such as Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Stormwater Management, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge. Each sub-section is addressed separately below. Pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, all land development regulations, and development permitting actions are required to be consistent with the Infrastructure Element as with the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. This document reflects the planning horizon for the Village’s infrastructure for the next 10 and 20 years. EXISTING CONDITIONS SANITARY SEWER The purpose of the sanitary sewer sub-element is to guide the preparation of plans and policies necessary to assure the availability of capacity, treatment, and disposal of wastewater for projected growth and future needs of the Village of North Palm Beach. This sub-element analyzes the Village’s existing sanitary sewer collection system and facilities, and also discusses future generation levels. Sanitary sewer service within the North Palm Beach municipal boundaries is not directly provided by the Village. With the exception of a few remaining septic tanks, sanitary sewer service, including collection, transmission, and disposal is provided by Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA). To ensure that all existing and proposed developments have adequate sanitary facilities, the Village continues to include SUA in the site plan review and permitting process. Also, to ensure concurrency, the Village requests SUA’s approval (or approval with conditions) of proposed projects and developments prior to the issuance of building permits. During development order review, SUA requires developers to upgrade the capacity of existing systems or build new systems to meet sanitary sewer needs in order to ensure that adequate capacity is available. For North Palm Beach, the wastewater treatment is based out of the SUA’s PGA Wastewater Treatment Plant. The service area for the PGA Wastewater Treatment Plant (PGA WWTP) is approximately 78 square miles and includes Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Lake Park, a portion of Juno Beach, and unincorporated portions of Palm Beach County east of the C-18 Canal. Figure 1 presents the service area. According to SUA, it is not anticipated that the service area will significantly change within the next 10 years. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE As noted in the Future Land Use Element, based on 2020 Census data, the population of North Palm Beach is 13,162 persons. Utilizing the estimated population, current wastewater use by the Village is estimated at 1,408,334 gallons per day (i.e., population of 13,162 residents x 107 gallons per capita per day). Using the population projections from the Palm Beach County Population Allocation Model (14,069 residents) and the LOS set by SUA, it is projected that the Village's wastewater needs will reach 1,505,383 gallons per day by 2045. Table 1.0 – Service Area Population Projections Service Area Population Projections 2022 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 2050 North Palm Beach 12,862 13,053 13,297 13,503 13,838 14,069 14,337 2023 Palm Beach County Population Allocation Model – Population by Jurisdiction The site plan review and building processes established by the Village and the requirements established in the Policies of its Comprehensive Plan, ensure effective coordination with developers during the planning and phasing stages of development to meet wastewater collection and treatment needs. The Village is available for and encourages developers to take advantage of preliminary/pre- application meetings to ensure that developers are aware of the Village’s code requirements. Developers are also encouraged to meet with SUA representatives during the preliminary stages of development to clarify wastewater requirements and standards. These opportunities Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE are on-going practices of both the Village and the SUA, and they continue to be available to developers. Seacoast currently owns, operates, and maintains sufficient permitted wastewater treatment, reuse, and disposal capacity to serve its projected 2045 population. SUA owns and maintain approximately 285 miles of gravity sewer pipelines and more than 150 pumping stations. The gravity sewer pipelines are used to transfer the sanitary sewage discharged from residential and commercial properties to one of SUA’s multiple lift stations and then to the wastewater treatment plant. According to SUA 30-year Wastewater Treatment Plan, there are no projections for service area expansion for the next 10-20 years. The Village of North Palm Beach is currently connected to SUA’s central sanitary sewer system. However, over the years, the Village has annexed approximately 100 properties that are still using septic tanks. With regard to wastewater as a whole, the Palm Beach County Health Department (a State agency) enforces Federal, State, and SUA standards regulating the central sanitary sewer and septic tank systems serving North Palm Beach. However, through the planning horizon, Seacoast proposes to renew and/or replace approximately 6 lift stations, 1 mile of sanitary sewer force main, and 4 miles of gravity sewer pipelines and appurtenances within the Village of North Palm Beach. During the same period, Seacoast will update, renew, restore, and replace such treatment, reuse and disposal infrastructure as may be required to sustain its level of service. Seacoast Utility Authority also provides “reclaimed” water which is wastewater (sewage) that has been treated and disinfected to meet Florida’s stringent irrigation water quality standards. The water is treated and stored at Seacoast’s PGA Regional Water Reclamation Facility and pumped through 24 miles of pipeline to nearly 40 high-volume irrigation customers. The PGA Regional Water Reclamation facility provides service to participating governments. It has a current permitted capacity of 12 mgd. SUA has anticipates that the plant capacity should be adequate until approximately the year 2262 based on the straight-line projection of the historical maximum three-month average daily influent flows from 2000 to 2021. Additionally, SUA has projected that the average daily sewer flow for North Palm Beach would Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE range from 0.87 MGD in 2025 to 1.21 in 2045. The below table indicates the projected averages for daily sewer flow. Table 1.1 – Seacoast Utility Projected Average Daily Sewer Flow Seacoast Utility Authority Projected Average Daily Sewer Flow Municipality Year 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 Total North Palm Beach Sewer Flow (MGD) 0.87 1.15 1.17 1.19 1.21 Seacoast Utility Authority Figure 2 from the SUA PGA Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan demonstrates the Historical and Wastewater Flow to the SUA PGA WWTP. Figure 2. SUA Historical & Projected Wastewater Flow to the SUA PGA WWTP Level of Service The Level of Service (LOS) for average daily sewage generation rate for capital sanitary sewer facilities in North Palm Beach is a maximum of 107 gallons/capita/day for residential uses. There is no fixed level of service requirement for nonresidential uses such as commercial, Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE public, educational, and other public buildings; the estimated sewage generation is based on the Florida Administrative Code. As indicated in the previous section, SUA has the capacity to provide services for the current and projected level of service for the next 10- and 20- year planning period. Because the wastewater collection, transmission, treatment, and disposal facilities are owned, operated, and maintained by Seacoast, the Village has neither the responsibility nor the authority to provide for system improvements. SOLID WASTE Along with sanitary sewer systems, solid waste management is important to keeping the Village clean. This solid waste sub-section evaluates resources available for the Village’s projected population growth and assesses the solid waste needs for future and current residents of North Palm Beach. In addition, this sub-section examines the Village’s existing solid waste and hazardous waste management services and facilities, projects future waste generation levels, and suggests alternatives for lowering per capita waste generation rates. Because the Village of North Palm Beach is primarily a residential community, residential uses generate the majority of the Village’s solid waste. Commercial and other uses generate less solid waste. Within the North Palm Beach Public Works Department, the Solid Waste division is responsible for the collection and disposal of residential and commercial garbage, trash, bulk items, vegetation, and recycling within the Village. Contractors and hired individuals for lawn and tree services are required to haul away any vegetation, branches, etc. that they trim. Vegetation debris can be left for pickup only if it was created by the homeowner or tenant. Also, any construction debris from renovations, demolitions, or construction must be removed by building contractors and/or handymen. Accordingly, the following Levels of Service for residential and non-residential collection of solid waste have been established by the Village: • Monday: Garbage & vegetation Village-wide. • Tuesday: Glass and plastic recycling pickup (blue bin), plus bulk items by appointment ONLY. • Wednesday: Garbage & vegetation Village-wide. • Thursday: Paper and cardboard recycling pickup (yellow bin), plus bulk items by appointment ONLY. • Friday: Garbage & vegetation Village-wide. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE Although the Village conducts its own waste collection, it does not own or operate its own landfill. The Village utilizes the landfills provided by the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) to dispose of all its trash. The following are the SWA Facilities utilized for disposal of waste: Current SWA Facilities Transfer Stations/Home Chemical and Recycling Centers • Central County Transfer Station (Lantana) • Glades Regional Transfer Station (Belle Glade) • Home Chemical and Recycling Center (West Palm Beach) • North County Transfer Station (Jupiter) • South County Transfer Station (Delray Beach) • Southwest County Transfer Station (Delray Beach) • West Central Transfer Station (Royal Palm Beach) North County Landfill (Landfill, Class I and III) However, the Village does not collect the following hazardous waste items: • Any type of battery • Boat parts and internal combustion engines • Car parts • Fluorescent light bulbs • Paints • Propane tanks • Used motor oil/filters Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE The Solid Waste Authority (SWA) recommends that the disposal of hazardous waste is taken to Home Chemical and Recycle Centers (HCRCs). However, SWA does have limitations on the types of hazardous waste that is accepted. SWA does not accept medical waste, syringes or sharps, drugs, radioactive materials, and explosives. Although, these items are not accepted by SWA, SWA partners with other businesses such as tech retailers to recycle these hazardous materials. The Village’s sustainability efforts are contributing to a more sustainable environment by: • Advancing technologies to reduce waste • Increasing recycling and reuse • Creating even safer treatment and disposal options • Sharing the benefits of learning and innovation with their clients and collaborators RECYCLING Recycling refers to any process by which solid waste, or materials which would otherwise become solid waste, are collected, separated, processed, reused, or returned to use in the form of raw materials or products. Generally accepted items for recycling include: • Tin cans • Aluminum cans • Steel cans • Food containers and jars • Soft drink and beer bottles • Wine and liquor bottles • Office paper • Magazines • Flattened cardboard • Newspaper • Phonebooks • Flattened cereal boxes • Junk mail • Paperboard • Flattened snack boxes STORMWATER MANAGEMENT This Stormwater Management subsection of the Comprehensive Plan analyzes the natural conditions that affect the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff in the Village, and its existing stormwater collection and treatment system. Rainwater that does not evaporate or become absorbed into the ground is considered “runoff.” This runoff often carries pollutants from lawns, streets, buildings, and parking lots that contaminate the waterways. In order to keep the lagoon and other waterbodies clean, the Village must continue to invest in the proper infrastructure for treating and purifying runoff into waterways. A complete and integrated ground surface percolation and positive underground piping stormwater drainage system has been installed throughout the Village’s platted and developed areas. The storm water drainage system is Village-owned and -maintained. In Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE residential areas, the system consists of roadside swales without curbs or gutters. Surplus water from the swales is diverted to catch basins within a closed conduit piping system, then discharged via outfall to the manmade waterways of the Earman River, the Intracoastal Waterway, or Lake Worth. Commercial uses in the Village are confined to frontages along U.S. 1, Northlake Boulevard, Prosperity Farms Road, and Alternate A1A. These roads are urbanized and have curbs and gutters, and positive pipe outfalls to either the Earman River or Lake Worth. This system is maintained by the Florida State Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Palm Beach County in conjunction with the Village. The Village does not have a master drainage plan. The existing drainage system was built in a piecemeal fashion over time; the majority of it was constructed between 1956 and 1970. It should be noted that the major portion of the Village's stormwater drainage system was constructed prior to the establishment of any discharge regulations. According to a prior report from an engineering consultant, the Village’s drainage system was probably designed similarly to the Florida Department of Transportation system which has a minimum three-year storm recurrence interval. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) minimum drainage design criterion for local governments is a three-year, one day duration storm event. The design capacity and the level of service of the Village’s stormwater system satisfies the SFWMD’s minimum local government criteria, and that the capacity of the system is adequate for the Village’s needs. The Village maintains scheduled inspections and maintenance to assure long-term effectiveness. Currently, the Village inspects each catch basin within the Village at least once every three (3) years to identify needed maintenance and improvements. As time progressed, however, some of the Village’s stormwater infrastructure has become outdated or has exhausted its engineered life. Documentation from the Environmental Protection Agency advises that stormwater runoff is a principal contributor to water quality impairment in waterbodies nationwide. In the 1970s, the federal government introduced the Federal Clean Water Act and permit requirements for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Florida’s stormwater discharge permitting followed, with requirements for properties to treat discharge, either individually or collectively, before stormwater enters waterways. The Village of North Palm Beach has portions that are within the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District (NPBCID). The NPBCID is an independent Special District created by the Florida legislature in 1959 to provide water management and infrastructure development in Palm Beach County. NPBCID’s service area covers over 128 square miles and includes: • Portions of Unincorporated Palm Beach County • Tequesta • Jupiter • Juno Beach • North Palm Beach • Palm Beach Gardens • Lake Park • Mangonia Park • West Palm Beach Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE Some of the services that NPBCID provides are storm water management; right-of-way maintenance, including roadways and sidewalks; maintenance of canals, waterways, and lakes; water quality monitoring; environmental mitigation and management; permit and plat review, as well as hurricane response and emergency operations. NPBCID uses revenue from non-Ad Valorem assessments from property taxes to pay for services. The assessments are only paid by property owners who benefit from the services provided by NPBCID. NPBCID aids with regional flood control that extends outside of the boundaries of North Palm Beach. While the Village’s stormwater maintenance utilizes localized street drainage. Although portions of the Village are located within the NPBCID, its Street and Stormwater Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of infrastructure throughout the Village. This division is responsible for the maintenance of the Village’s storm drainage systems and waterways. The Street and Stormwater Division is also involved in the administration of the NPDES Stormwater Permitting Program. All storm water within the Village discharges into tidal waterbodies such as (1) the Earman River; (2) the North Palm Beach Waterway; (3) the Intracoastal Waterway; and (4) the northern portion of the Lake Worth Lagoon. High volumes of stormwater runoff can erode stream banks and deposit sediments that can damage aquatic life (animals and plants). Because pollutants come from multiple sources, it is difficult identify the origin of specific pollutants. The Village continues to strive to reduce any potential harm that may affect its existing drainage system and waterways. Common pollutants include: • Detergent • Fertilizer • Motor oil • Paint Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE • Pesticides • Pet waste • Sediment The Village recommends the following practices for protecting waterways and reducing pollution: • Clean leaked motor oil and other fluids on your driveway. • Never pour motor oil or other chemicals down storm drains. • Household chemical products like used motor oil, paint, solvents, and cleaners may be disposed of by taking them to the appropriate Solid Waste Authority collection site. • Do not apply fertilizer or pesticides on sidewalks, driveways, streets, or near storm drains or canals. • Use less fertilizer and pesticides. • Wash the car on the grass or any place that doesn't drain to the street. • Use a commercial car wash. • Dispose of pet waste into trash. • Never wash pet waste into the street or into storm drains. • Never throw litter in a storm drain or in the street. 2016 Village of North Palm Beach Citizens’ Master Plan In August of 2015, the Village of North Palm Beach, in collaboration with the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), (now known as the Transportation Planning Agency), contracted with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) to study ways to improve mobility, quality of life, and the economic vitality of the Village. The resulting Citizen’s Master Plan emphasized the importance of protecting and caring for the Village’s natural resources. As a result of the Citizens’ Master Plan, the Village’s Stormwater Utility Fee was established, a dedicated funding source approved, and stormwater runoff issues identified as a high-priority initiative for the Village. Acknowledging that future infrastructure must maintain the current level of service, the Village established stormwater fees. The stormwater fees are dedicated solely to stormwater management programs and projects. These fees allow the Village to address the collective impact of pollution caused by stormwater runoff and undertake the necessary repairs to the existing stormwater system. 2021 Stormwater Utility Study In 2019, the Public Works Department enlisted assistance from Hazen and Sawyer to develop a financially sustainable stormwater management program. The two-year process began in February 2019, with a conceptual study to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a utility fee to fund the Village’s ongoing stormwater management program. The 2019 Study included: • Compiling an inventory of the Village’s stormwater management assets; • Reviewing regulatory compliance requirements; • Estimating costs, revenues, and funding requirements; • Preparing a 5-Year financial forecast, and • Investigating alternative rate structures. Based on the results of the 2019 Stormwater Utility Study and the 2016 Citizens’ Master Plan, the Village established a stormwater fee schedule. The fees are based upon a unit of measure Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE called Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). ERUs are used to equate non-residential or multi- family residential properties to a specific number of single-family residences. All land parcels other than public schools and rights-of-way are subject to the stormwater utility fee. The Village’s ERU was calculated using the average lot coverage on single-family residential properties as the basis for the proposed fee. The Village Council set an assessment roll for stormwater fee at $7.78 monthly per ERU, which equated to $93.36 annually. At the same time, the Village Council lowered property tax rates to offset the cost for ERUs for the 2022/2023 fiscal year. POTABLE WATER This sub-section analyzes the Village’s existing potable water distribution system, projects future demand levels, and analyzes its existing facilities. Potable water refers to water that is clean and safe to drink. Potable water is essential for survival; it is used for drinking, cooking, and sanitation. Seacoast Utility Authority provides potable water to the Village of North Palm Beach and bills property owners directly for the service. The potable water withdrawal, treatment, and distribution facilities are owned, operated, and maintained by Seacoast. The Village has neither the responsibility nor the authority to provide for system improvements. Seacoast currently owns and operates one treatment plant: the Hood Road facility, with a peak- day capacity of 30.5 mgd. As of 2024, no new water treatment plants have been planned for construction in the Seacoast Utility Authority service area. During the development order approval process, Seacoast requires developers to upgrade the capacity of existing systems or build new systems to meet their needs in order to ensure that sufficient capacity is available. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE Table 1-3 indicates the population projections within the Seacoast Service Area. The data is derived from the Lower East Coast (LEC) Water Supply Plan update. As indicated, the Village of North Palm Beach represents approximately 13% of the Seacoast Service Area. Table 1-3: Population Projections Population Projections 2025-2045 Year Seacoast Service Area* North Palm Beach** North Palm Beach Share of Service Area (%) 2025 97,911 13,053 13.3% 2030 102,856 13,297 12.9% 2035 103,569 13,503 13.0% 2040 105,683 13,838 13.1% 2045 106,537 14,069 13.2% Source: *Seacoast Service Area Data From 2023-2024 LEC Update. **North Palm Beach Data From 2023 PBC, Zoning, and Building Division Population Projections. As noted in the Future Land Use element, the estimated population for North Palm Beach is 13,162. Based on 2020 census population data, the current potable water use by the Village is estimated at 2,474,456 gallons per day (i.e., population of 13,162 residents x 188 gallons per capita per day). Based on population projections (13,297 residents) prepared in this EAR and the Seacoast LOS, it is projected that the Village's potable water needs will be 2,499,836 gallons per day by 2030. The Village’s LOS for capital potable water facilities is maximum of 188 gallons/capita/day for average daily water consumption for residential. There is no fixed LOS requirement for nonresidential uses such as commercial, public, educational, and other public buildings. Based on the population projection from the LEC and the Future Land Use Element, the Village meets the LOS standard for potable water consumption, and no additional improvements to the Seacoast regional potable water treatment plants are required at the current projection. Water Supply Plan Of the five water management districts in the State of Florida, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is the oldest and the largest. SFWMD covers 16 counties from Orlando to the Florida Keys and serves nine million residents. Per F.S. 373.036, each water management district must create a water plan that is based on at least a 20-year planning period which shall be updated at least once every 5 years. Pursuant to the statutory requirement, the SFWMD created the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan for Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and parts of Monroe, Collier, and Hendry counties. In 2023, the SFWMD began the process of updating its Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan (2023-2024 LEC Plan Update), which assessed the projected water demand and potential sources of water for the period from 2021 to 2045. This plan update will be used by local Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE governments, water users and utilities to update and modify local comprehensive plans, facility work plans, and ordinances. Per F.S. Chapter 163, Part II, local governments are required to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the SFWMD approves the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update. The Village of North Palm Beach is in the process of updating its Water Supply Plan. Per the statute, municipalities and public water suppliers are required to coordinate with the SFWMD in the preparation of their Work Plans in order to identify needed facilities for at least a 10-year planning horizon period, confirming that: (1) adequate water supply is available; and (2) infrastructure plans necessary to serve projected need have been prepared. In addition, the Village is subject to, and a participant in, the Palm Beach County Wellfield Protection Ordinance. This Countywide Wellfield Protection Ordinance regulates land use activities within travel time contours of the Village’s wellfields. These travel time contours (zones of influence) are identified and overlaid on the Coastal Zone and Conservation Map in the Comprehensive Plan. Water Conservation The Village has adopted, and continues to implement, various regulations that improve water conservation. Article IX - MANDATORY YEAR-ROUND LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION CONSERVATION MEASURES of Chapter 19 of the Village’s Code of Ordinances, includes conservation regulations for irrigation including limiting the hours for landscape irrigation and regulations for new landscaping; Sect. 45-93 of the Village’s Code of Ordinances provides standards for irrigation as well as a requirement for rain sensors. The use of reclaimed water for irrigation purposes is an effective water conservation measure. The Village does not own or operate a wastewater treatment facility, nor does it manufacture reclaimed water. However, through Seacoast, it encourages residents to conserve water and utilize reclaimed water. Seacoast provides large irrigation users such as golf courses with reclaimed water, thereby contributing to the conservation of the Village’s water resources. Seacoast also developed implementation practices for conserving water resources. Table 1-4 indicates various methods for water conservation. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE Table 1-4: Seacoast Water Conservation Implementation Practices Source: Table D-5; 2013 LEC Update Appendices Additional water conservation related issues are addressed in the Coastal Management and Conservation elements of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge (NGAR) The Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge section of this plan analyzes the existing quality and quantity of the Village’s natural groundwater, projects future demands, and analyzes existing facilities. Groundwater is one of the Earth’s most valuable resources. There are different levels of groundwater water: the upper surface is called the water table; and the saturated area beneath the water table is called an aquifer. Aquifers are storehouses of water; they provide water to feed wells and springs. Utility providers and residents dig wells and drill into aquifers for the extraction of potable water. The porous rock of an aquifer allows precipitation from rain to recharge the aquifer. As previously noted, the Village is located within the SFWMD’s LEC Planning Area. Historically, the LEC Planning Area has relied on the Surficial Aquifer System (SAS) and Lake Okeechobee as the primary water sources for urban, agricultural, and industrial uses. In many areas of the LEC Planning Area, development of these water sources has been maximized due to negative impacts (like saltwater intrusion) on the regional system, wetlands, and existing water users. However, as population and water demand has grown, the development of other water source options has also increased. New and increased allocation from freshwater sources provides a diversification of water supply sources. Use of the upper Floridan aquifer, increased storage, reclaimed water, and appropriate water conservation measures in the LEC Planning Area have contributed to its water supply. Fresh groundwater is the primary source for potable water and landscape irrigation for industrial and commercial uses in the LEC Planning Area. In urban areas such as North Palm Beach, public water suppliers (PWS) rely heavily on the SAS since it produces good quality fresh water. Meanwhile, these aquifers are recharged from local rainfall, canals, and water from the Water Conservation Areas and Everglades National Park. When sufficient water is available, surface water from Lake Okeechobee is also routed to regional canals to maintain water levels and recharge the aquifer. However, during droughts, lower regional groundwater levels may cause inland movement of salt water. In this case, water shortage restrictions may be declared to conserve freshwater supplies. According to the 2023-2024 LEC Update, Seacoast withdrew an average of 21.76 million gallons daily (mgd) of raw water from the SAS in 2021. As indicated in Table 1-5, Seacoast will withdraw an average of 22.09 by 2025.

The allocated potable water sources includes all of Seacoast service area not just the Village of North Palm Beach. The 2045 future demand projection in Table 1-3 for the Village is 22.03 mgd. The total permitted allocated water for the Village is sufficient to fulfill the current and future demand of 26.92 mgd. Table 1-6: Seacoast Permitted Allocated Water for Authority SFWMD Water Use Permitted Allocation (mgd) Potable Water Source Allocation SAS (Surficial Aquifer System) 22.30 FAS (Floridan Aquifer System) 8.90 Bulk Finished Water from PBCUD 2.00 TOTAL ALLOCATION 26.92 Source: 2023-2024 LEC Update Appendix B Pursuant to its current consumptive use permit (CUP), Seacoast presently draws its raw water from four Surficial Aquifer wellfields (Hood Road, North Palm Beach, Burma Road, and Palm Beach Gardens) and three Floridan Aquifer wells (Hood Road). Each of the wellfields has permitted average and maximum daily withdrawal rates established by CUP. Each wellfield has protection zones which are mapped by the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). According to the current CUP, all wellfields are protected by the Palm Beach County Wellfield Protection Ordinance. Zones of protection are developed, and zone requirements enforced, by DERM. The Village’s Code of Ordinances establishes regulations limiting the amount of impervious and pervious surfaces on a lot (e.g., maximum lot coverage, minimum landscape and open space, and yard requirements). The purpose of these regulations is to protect groundwater quality and water resources. Also, during the site planning process, proposed developments are reviewed to ensure that maximum retention of rainfall and stormwater runoff is retained on site. Other best management practices are employed to ensure that the quality of water resources is protected, and the recharge of groundwater supplies is maximized. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE TRENDS AND CHALLENGES Future Growth (Solid Waste) Although the Village is essentially “built out,” it is also experiencing a phase of redevelopment. With a projected population growth of 724 residents by 2045, the Village must prepare for the additional waste from the future residents. Fortunately, the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) has continued to improve its dumping and solid waste collection practices. SWA implemented sophisticated liner systems to keep trash and leachate (“garbage juice”) from seeping into the ground. SWA has also extended the life of the landfill through recycling and other projects through 2054. Future Growth (Sewer) As mentioned, the Village is experiencing redevelopment. As the population grows, the amount of sanitary sewer waste generated is expected to increase. Significant changes in growth, annexation, or development will require re-evaluation of existing sanitary sewer capacity. The Village shall continue to coordinate with Seacoast Utility Authority to ensure that adequate infrastructure is available for the projected population. Sea Level Rise Due to its flat topography, porous limestone geology, and dense coastal development, Southeast Florida is one of the areas most susceptible to the impacts of climate change and sea level rise. Climate change and sea level rise are expected to present significant challenges to water resource planning, management, and infrastructure in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami- Dade, and Monroe counties. Saltwater intrusion into the primary sources of drinking water in the tri-county area (SAS and Biscayne aquifers) is of primary concern. Local governments and water utilities in the Southeast Florida region have formalized the integration of water supply and climate change considerations as part of coordinated planning efforts, including updates to local government regulations and water utility 10-year Water Supply Facility Work Plans and enhancements to local government’s Comprehensive Plans. Key considerations for communities within the four County Compact planning area include: 1) sea level rise, 2) saltwater intrusion, 3) extreme weather, and 4) infrastructure investments to support diversification and sustainability of water supply sources, and adaptive storm water and wastewater systems. Aging Infrastructure The Village’s existing infrastructure is close to the end of its useful life span. Although some infrastructure has been updated over the years, some require improvements or replacement. It is imperative that the Village continue to assess its existing facilities and upgrade them in a timely manner. Table 1-4 indicates the length and year sewer force mains were built. As indicated, the Village infrastructure began in 1957. Table 1-5 indicates that North Palm Beach has approximately 9,076 linear feet of sewer force main with a useful-life span of less than 0 years. Approximately 196 linear feet of sewer force main have a useful-life Span of 0-5 years, and approximately 1,639 linear feet of sewer force main have a useful-life span of 6-10 years. The Village in conjunction with SUA should evaluate the need for upgrading that infrastructure which has reached, or is near the end of, its useful life span.

As a coastal community, the Village is challenged by high groundwater levels, rising sea levels, increasingly frequent intense storms, as well as saltwater intrusion and water quality concerns. The Village strives to improve its stormwater management by supporting both physical assets as well as policies, procedures, and operations in preparation for flooding events, and protecting the Village’s groundwater, surface waters, and natural resources. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE The purpose of the proposed Stormwater Master Plan is to analyze the Village’s stormwater management systems, policies, and procedures to identify areas in need of improvement. The 2023 Master Plan report contains the approach, modeling methodology, and results, as well as proposed recommendations arising from the study. The scope of this village-wide study included taking inventory of the Village’s existing stormwater assets; collecting data from various regional entities and organizations; identifying water quality and regulatory compliance requirements; developing a hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) model representing current/existing conditions, and two future-time scenarios (2040 and 2070); performing a level of service (LOS) analysis; developing a Capital Improvement Program (CIP); and evaluating the impacts of the CIP on the Village’s stormwater utility rates. Projects SUA has implemented the following projects within the Village of North Palm Beach over the last 5 years: • Lighthouse Drive Force Main Replacement • Lift Station 54 – multiple improvements • Northlake Boulevard / US 1 Utility Infrastructure Replacement – Phase 1 and Phase 2 • Jasmine Drive to Southwind Drive Force Main Crossing Northlake Boulevard and the C17 Canal and Water Main Crossing the C17 Canal • Corsair Drive water main replacement • Marina Drive water main addition • Lift Station 54 force main replacement route study • Lift Station 54 force main replacement (phase 1) • Lighthouse Bridge water main replacement • Old Port Cove force main Future utility replacement projects are planned and are dependent on other agency partnerships and the remaining useful life of the infrastructure. SUMMARY Based on the existing conditions, trends, and challenges for the 20-year planning period, the Village shall continue to implement specific strategies and policies to maintain and enhance the infrastructure, and plan for future demands such as: • Continue conservation awareness campaigns and measures, and maintain the current or a lower level of service; • Continue updating the water supply plan in conjunction with SFWMD’s LEC plan; Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE • Evaluate future solid waste demand; • Ensure stormwater is adequately addressed throughout the Village; • Partner with Seacoast to provide clean and sanitary potable water and reclaimed water; • Prepare for sea level rise; and • Anticipate and plan for aging infrastructure. Attractive and Environmentally Friendly Communities Coastal Management Conservation Recreation and Open Space Coastal Management Data and Analysis Chapter 3: Attractive and Environmentally Friendly Communities Element 7 ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-1 COASTAL MANAGEMENT DATA AND ANALYSIS The purpose of the Coastal Management Element is to plan, promote, manage and protect natural resources. It is important for the Village of North Palm Beach (“Village”) to plan for development or redevelopment activities in ways which mitigate or otherwise lessen the disturbance of coastal resources. This Element addresses measures to protect human life and limit public expenditures in areas that are subject to destruction by natural disasters. The Element must be integrated with and consistent with the other Comprehensive Plan Elements to address the following over the next 10 and 20 years: - Protection of coastal resources, including wildlife and natural ecosystems, - Preserving resident quality of life, - Increasing property resilience to natural disaster hazards, - Maintaining public access to the waterways including recreational amenities, - Maximizing economic benefits generated from tourism. The Village contains many miles of natural and man-made waterways adjacent to both public and private lands. The 1950s canal system design created many waterfront properties with the Country Club, Village Hall and central commercial district along US Highway One separated from other areas entirely by bridges. This large central area is only accessible by two bridges on US Highway One and one bridge on Lighthouse Drive. With all Village waterfront properties developed, a management plan is necessary to ensure flood protections are in place as properties redevelop or seawalls replaced. Establishing regulations of the built environment in and around the waterways is vital to the resilience of the Village during natural disasters. The data and analysis provided in this report offers the foundation and framework for updating and revising the Goals, Objectives, Policies of the Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Coastal Planning Area (CPA) The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) that specify the adjacent land elevation for all coastal areas around the United States to determine potential impact of a flooding event. The Village has numerous flood-prone properties identified on the FIRM maps (OCM- Map 4). The Coastal High Hazard Area was established as an area particularly vulnerable to the effects of coastal flooding from tropical storm events, specifically the area below the elevation of the category 1 storm surge line as established by a Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model. The Coastal High Hazard Area is identified in RCM- Map 2. The Coastal Planning Area (CPA) is defined as a special planning area within the Village containing properties identified in the Coastal High Hazard Area and require additional planning, regulation, and monitoring for a sustainable future. It also ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-2 COASTAL MANAGEMENT includes properties identified with a potential flood risk on the FIRM maps. Generally, all properties are located within a few hundred feet of a waterway, which covers almost 1,279 acres of the Village as shown in OCM- Map 2. Coastal Flooding Barriers The Village contains many types of natural areas near the waterways, including harbors, rivers, estuaries and waterways that are identified on RCM- Map 1. There are four (4) types of coastal barriers within the Village CPA that protect the built environment from flood hazards: 1. Beaches and Sand Dunes 2. Mangroves and other natural shorelines 3. Rip-rap and other manmade shorelines 4. Seawalls Beaches and Sand Dunes There are 18.6 acres of beach and dune areas located within the boundaries of John D. MacArthur Beach State Park (JDMBSP) and are managed by the State of Florida. The JDMBSP Management Plan has been created with the effort to provide access to the general public and also preserve the viability of the sand dunes structures for proper storm surge protection. Below is an image of the dune habitat on the north end of the state park. Sand dunes are a coastal mound or ridge of unconsolidated sediments found along shorelines with high-energy waves. Vegetation will consist of herbaceous dune forming grass species such as sea oats (Uniola paniculata) and sand cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). The dunes range from a few feet above sea level to 20 feet tall. They are classified by the JDMBSP Management Plan as “good” in the northern area where some sections have eroded and “excellent” in the southern end where wider sections of dune habitat exist. Sand dune habitat has been enhanced at Lakeside Park over recent years to support natural erosion control of the beach at the Village owned park. ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-3 COASTAL MANAGEMENT The principle threat to the beach and sand dune community is erosion caused by natural storm events. Periodic large-scale beach nourishment projects are regularly used in other areas to counteract the effects of erosion, but are rarely used in the State Park of Lakeside Park. Typical management activities to minimize erosion include planting of native dune vegetation, removal of exotic vegetation and establishing designated access trails as needed. Mangroves and other natural shorelines A mangrove swamp is typically characterized as a dense forest occurring along relatively flat, low wave energy, marine and estuarine shorelines. The dominant overstory will include red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), black mangrove (Avicennia germinans), white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa), and buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus). On the western side of the beach dune habitat of JDMBSP, the estuaries of the Lake Worth Lagoon contain brackish water and less consistent wave action resulting in the ability for native plant material to propagate along the shoreline. When waves do occur during storm events, the mangroves bolster the shoreline from soil erosion and block storm surge from encroaching to upland areas. Though the trees can handle occasional wave action, consistent wake from boats within the Intracoastal Waterway, may eventually erode the shore and hinder ability for quality growth of the species. Lake Worth Lagoon Management Plan has been established to monitor and assess the quality of the estuarine habitat outside of JDMBSP. Mangrove species preservation is of significant concern to Palm Beach County for maintaining fisheries, rookeries, water quality, and shorelines. In the north end, habitat is stable, with 55% of all mangrove habitat occurring within JDMBSP. Overall, mangrove habitat is increasing throughout the central and southern areas of the lagoon due to the development of 42 acres of artificial, intertidal islands that occurred between 2014 and 2020. ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-4 COASTAL MANAGEMENT Rip-rap and other man-made shorelines Rip-rap simply refers a pile of loose rock and other hard materials accumulated along the shore to prevent upland areas from erosion. They are typically provided in built environments dealing with more wave action than is found in a mangrove habitat. Depending on the size of the aggregate, marine plant and animal species may use the crevices for shelter and habitat. The spaces behind the rock provide calmer water from wave action and hiding spaces from predators. In the Village of North Palm Beach, man-made shorelines of rip- rap are typically found along both banks of the Intracoastal Waterway and more natural vegetation, mixed with rip-rap, is typical of the banks of the Earman River. Both of these waterways have experienced erosion, which is specified in the attached Soil Erosion Map (OCON- Map 1). Seawalls and bulkheads Seawalls and bulkheads are defined as concrete, vinyl or metal structures placed vertically at the shoreline to block all wave action from upland areas. They are typically constructed in areas with consistent wave action and allow upland areas to be utilized ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-5 COASTAL MANAGEMENT immediately adjacent to the waterways. Seawalls and bulkheads lack gaps and texture; therefore, few opportunities exist for native habitats to establish. Almost all of the residential development within the man-made canals of the Village contain seawalls. Specific land development regulations have been created (Chapter 5, Article 3) to ensure that every new seawall is built above the mean high water line. Land Uses Waterway access is available from residential, commercial and public lands. Many of the residential properties along the water rely on the ability to construct docks and boatlifts for personal watercraft storage and use. Marinas additionally offer boat storage for residents that do not live on the water. There are both commercial and public boat ramps available to the residents of the Village, as specified on OCM-Map 3. The public parks offer fishing, wildlife viewing and recreational swimming on various waterways around the Village. JDMBSP offers the only access to beaches and natural estuary habitats. Map RROS-Map 1 shows the location of the public parks within the Village CPA. Infrastructure The Village was designed with a swale system along all publicly maintained roadways. The swales are depressions in the land to collect runoff during a rain event and are sloped in a direction along the roadway to collect in inlets. Multiple inlets consolidate water to outfall pipes along the seawalls. The entire system is gravity fed and requires the water level of the final outfall point to be lower than the pipe. The system is owned ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-6 COASTAL MANAGEMENT and maintained by the Village through funding provided via the Stormwater Management Utility’s yearly ad valorem special assessment tax. Seawalls where the outfall pipes are located are maintained by the Village through a drainage easement. The location varies, but many are located between two homes and tie into the privately owned and maintained seawalls behind single family homes. The effectiveness of the system relies on residents monitoring the movement of their seawalls to assess the need to bolster or reconstruct. The seawall construction standards established in the Code of Ordinances Chapter 5, Article 3 specify the height and materials based on the flood zone of the proposed seawall. A Stormwater Master Plan has recently been completed by Hazen and Sawyer to analyze the existing stormwater system and identify improvements to enhance the functionality. The study's approach and methodology were based on developing a hydrologic and hydraulic model to simulate the Village’s current and future stormwater infrastructure and operations under various conditions. The model’s results, paired l with knowledge regarding historical areas of flooding concern, including Village staff insights, were used to inform and direct the proposed capital improvements. The models even included sea level rise impacts to the system, in order to ensure the Village can properly identify future areas of concern. The plan proposes improvements to existing swales as well as installation of pumps in the event the gravity fed system is not handling the water efficiently. The Village has provided funding for the completion of a vulnerability assessment for all Village facilities and property based on some of the findings in the Stormwater Master Plan and concerns over sea level rise, aging infrastructure, and new Florida Building Code standards. Natural Disaster Planning Natural disaster planning in the Coastal Planning Area involves all disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, freezes and droughts. Due to the Village’s geographic location, the emphasis is directed toward hurricane response, including hurricane preparation and evacuation, post-storm evaluation and clean up, and long-term post disaster redevelopment. As flooding is a key issue in the Village associated with these Natural Disasters and can cause serious damage and potential loss of life, the Village will continue to look for mechanisms to better monitor the “Peril of Flood” strategies as noted in F.S. 163.3178(2)(f). Hurricanes are classified using the Saffir-Simpson scale as follows: - Category 1 - Winds 74 to 95 mph; - Category 2 - Winds 96 to 110 mph; - Category 3 - Winds 111 to 129 mph; - Category 4- Winds 130 to 156 mph; and - Category 5 - Winds 157 mph or higher ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-7 COASTAL MANAGEMENT The two largest impacts to the built environment from hurricanes are wind damage and storm surge. Generally, it is the wind that produces most of the property damage associated with hurricanes, while the greatest threat to life is from flooding and storm surge. Storm surge impacts are based on the category of the hurricane. Areas of impact from storm surge are depicted on OCM-Map 5. Palm Beach County Division of Emergency Management (“Division”) plans for natural disaster events through yearly training with the Village of North Palm Beach Public Works and Community Development staff as well as staff from 38 other County municipalities. The Division is also responsible for identifying evacuation routes away from the coastline, coordinating emergency medical services, providing news releases on infrastructure impacts, operation of emergency shelters and coordination of recovery efforts. Prior to or during hurricanes, the Governor of the State of Florida has the authority to declare an area as an emergency disaster site and therefore, issue evacuation orders for residents of that region. Based on the size of the storm and level of emergency declaration, various zones have been established for evacuations to occur. The routes which residents are required to take have been established by Palm Beach County and are provided in the evacuation route map (OCM- Map 1).There are no emergency shelters established in the Village, but the closest shelter for residents is located at Palm Beach Gardens High School located at 4245 Holly Dr. Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33404. Post disaster recovery is another important tool required during natural disaster planning. The Village has a post-disaster recovery team established for the immediate identification of hazards such as downed powerlines and fallen trees. The Village Public Works and Fire Rescue Departments deploy crews to clear roads and check on homeowners impacted by flood or wind damage. Once the immediate dangers are mitigated, the Village staff will identify impacts to seawalls and other structures impacted by increased wave action and storm surge. The Community Development Department will assess damages to both private and public structures. Expedited building permit issuance allows residents to make repairs to roofs, windows, and doors as quick as possible to allow them to safely remain in their homes. Additionally, emergency seawall repairs may be necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the land. Flood Protection The federal government, State of Florida and Village have regulations in place to mitigate the impacts of flooding events. Additionally, resources are available to compensate residents who suffer impacts to their property. The following programs have been established: National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The U.S. Congress established the NFIP with the passage of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. The NFIP is a Federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance as a protection against flood losses in exchange for State and community floodplain management regulations that reduce future flood damages. Participation ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-8 COASTAL MANAGEMENT in the NFIP is based on an agreement between communities and the Federal government. If a community adopts and enforces a floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood risk to new construction in floodplains, the Federal government will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection against flood losses. This insurance is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to reduce the escalating costs of repairing damage caused by floods to buildings and their contents. The Village of North Palm Beach is a participant in the NFIP. Community Rating System (CRS). The NFIP's CRS was implemented in 1990 as a program for recognizing and encouraging community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP standards. The rating is given to municipalities based on various metrics to identify the infrastructure, regulations and recovery measures in place to mitigate flood impacts. The rating is given on a 1-10 scale, with 1 being the best score and residents receiving 45% reduction in flood insurance rates. The Village participates in the NFIP's CRS program, and has a 2023 CRS rating of 5. This rating enables North Palm Beach property owners to receive a 25% reduction in their NFIP rates. In addition, the Village is eligible to seek FEMA funds to be used to remedy flooding problems and will continue to participate in activities to comply with NFIP requirements. Flood Protection Ordinance. In conformance with the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, the Village has adopted and enforced regulations governing development in special flood hazard zones through Chapter 12.5 of its Land Development Regulations (LDRs). The Village's LDRs include floodplain provisions and regulations related to buildings and structures, subdivisions, subdivision plats, site improvements, and utilities. Sea Level Rise Palm Beach County has joined a regional effort with Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties known as the South Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (“Compact”). The compact is defined as a “voluntary framework designed to align, guide and support the acceleration of local and regional climate action in Southeast ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-9 COASTAL MANAGEMENT Florida toward a shared vision of a low-carbon, healthy, prosperous, more equitable and more resilient region.” According to the Compact’s 2019 report, sea levels were calculated to rise 10-17 inches by 2040 with the rate of increase accelerating every year. Warming oceans and melting ice sheets and glaciers are increasing the probability of damaging floods from storm surges. Significant impacts have yet to be seen in many South Florida municipalities outside of king tides, therefore, it is challenging to receive constituent support for public investment in infrastructure or more stringent property development regulations. Many municipalities find difficulty in enacting regulations for the present based on projected impacts decades in the future. The Compact seeks to organize and expedite action items as a collective, with numerous governments providing support to each other. There are various strategies worth considering by the Village elected officials and staff to address future impacts of sea level rise and mitigate its effects to the existing built environment. Protection Strategies: - Maintenance of existing seawalls, bulkheads, and dunes. - Re-nourishment of beaches - Protection of vegetated shorelines - Adaptation Strategies: - Floodproofing of new or existing buildings - Use of fill to raise elevation of new or existing buildings - Requirement of additional freeboard for new development - Increase the building setbacks along the Lake Worth Lagoon or other waterways. - Relocate vital infrastructure and public facilities to higher elevations. Summary The resilience of Village properties and structures during natural disasters are threatened by some factors outside of the Village’s control: The loss of mangrove and seagrass habitat throughout the Lake Worth Lagoon, loss of dune stability within JDMBSP and Lakeside Park, failure of private seawalls, and control of exotic plant and animal species on private properties and adjacent municipalities. The following recommendations are provided for the Village to consider when planning for future coastal resiliency and may be placed within the policies of the Coastal Management Element. The associated new or amended policy is provided for reference: - Water quality monitoring and coordination with PBC and JDMBSP for enacting water quality projects within the Lake Worth Lagoon (Policy 2.4) - Evaluation of seawall stability on public and private lands (Policy 9.4) - Evaluation of exotic vegetation on public and private lands (Policy 6.3) ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CM-10 COASTAL MANAGEMENT - - Evaluate the impacts of flooding on existing residential lands. (Objective 10) - Monitor the current stormwater systems effectiveness and home elevation levels in relation to FEMA FIRM map changes. (Policy 6.1) - Support installation of living shorelines/ rip rap walls in lieu of seawalls, including oyster beds, to support water quality improvements and habitat restoration. (Policy 2.4) - Analyze hazardous flood conditions and identify investment and regulation strategies for mitigation (Policy 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3). - The Village should consider acquisition of at-risk lands as opportunities arise. (Policy 10.1) Conservation Data and Analysis Chapter 3: Attractive and Environmentally Friendly Communities Element 8 ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 1 DATA & ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION Section 163.3177(6)(d), Florida Statutes, requires local governments to include a Conservation Element providing for the conservation, use, and protection of natural resources within its Comprehensive Plan. The Village of North Palm Beach’s (herein referred to as “Village”) greatest asset is the miles of waterways permeating most of the neighborhoods. This element will address not only the requirements of the State Statute but also the coastal resiliency measures needed to build along the water. Urban resiliency has become an important goal for many local governments with the onset of climate change impacts such as rising temperatures, extreme weather events like drought or storms, sea level rise, and large volume precipitation events. Proactive adaptation planning calls for an innovative approach which plans for ecological conditions of the future and characterizes changing conditions along the coast. Conserving existing coastal habitats or encouraging habitats to recuperate where they have been lost can be instrumental in lessening the effects of storm surge, algae bloom events and erosion. This element has been divided into three (3) sections consistent with the State Statute requirements: Inventory of natural resources, standards for conservation, and current and projected needs for the next 10 years and 20 years. INVENTORY AND STANDARDS OF CONSERVATION Florida Statute163.3177 (6)(d), requires eleven (11) principles, guidelines and standards for conservation within each municipality. These standards help identify the government agency involved in regulations and establish the procedures, environmental quality and current impacts to each of the listed subsections. Each section addresses the inventory of natural resources within the category and then assess the needs for inclusion in Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Conservation element. A. Air Quality The data collection and protection of local air quality is delegated to multiple governing bodies. Federal, state and county governments all have a stake in the air quality within the Village of North Palm Beach. At the state and local level, the Florida Department of Health, in Palm Beach County (FDH- PBC) is responsible for maintenance of air quality standards. This department reviews permits for facilities emitting pollutants, conducts inspections, controls open burning, monitors asbestos abatement, and provides technical assistance to residents with indoor air pollution. ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON _____ CONSERVATION 2 At the federal level, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for the administration of the federal air quality standards and enforcement of the Clean Air Act of 1970. The EPA monitors all harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, total suspended particulates, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and lead via four (4) air quality collection stations throughout Palm Beach County. Below is the data over the last 10 years at the Lantana station (the closest to the Village). The data is ranked according to the Air Quality Index (AQI) which identifies the overall level of harmful pollutants. Over this period, there are occasional levels of “moderate” or “unhealthy for sensitive groups” days, but the vast majority of days are “good”. Link: https://www.epa.gov/outdoor-air-quality-data/air-data-multiyear-tile-plot The Village has the ability to assist in ensuring adequate air quality for future generations by supporting various initiatives and programs to reduce the level of local air pollutants. Best Management Practices (BMPs) specified by the EPA and FDH-PBC support the regulation of open air burning, the installation of indoor carbon monoxide detectors, the reduction in individual vehicles emissions, and the encouragement of public transportation options. FDH-PBC has created the Pollution Prevention (P2) Coalition which seeks feedback from various industry representatives from agriculture, to industrial, waste management and power production to identify areas in which individual organizations can reduce emissions at the source and make a substantial impact to the local air quality. The State of Florida Administrative Code (FAC 62-252.300) requires that all gas stations have a vapor recovery system to reduce the amount of gasoline vapors escaping into the air. Yearly certification of pumps by the Florida Department of Agriculture ensures they are compliant with the requirements. The Village Conservation Policy 1.5 states that the Village will participate in the county wide effort to require the systems and encourage monitoring. Because the State of Florida requires vapor recovery systems to get the pump certified, this policy is no longer needed. Needs: The Village should develop a working relationship with FDH-PBC to stay up to date on regulations and air quality requirements. Additionally, the Village should implement reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Village operations, support residents driving less, and identify best management practices for maintaining good air quality. ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 3 B. Water Resources This section is divided between two broad categories: surface and ground water. The surface waters include the Lake Worth Lagoon estuary, Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), C-17 Canal, residential canals and various drainage ponds. The ground water resources include the Floridan Aquifer and the Surficial Aquifer. Because most of these water resources extend far beyond the municipal limits of the Village, management responsibilities are shared with neighboring municipalities and Palm Beach County. Surface John D. MacArthur Beach State Park (JDMBSP) monitors and manages the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern half of the Lake Worth Lagoon within the Village’s municipal limits. The State Park Management Plan specifies the habitat resources, water quality and restoration efforts along the beaches and Lagoon. Palm Beach County, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) provide various regulations, monitoring stations and planning efforts to regulate water quality within the navigable waterways of the Village. The Lake Worth Lagoon Management Plan was created by Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management Department (PBC-ERM) in July 2021 to evaluate the entire Lake Worth Lagoon and plan for its future. In terms of water quality trends, the level of pollutants has decreased over the entire Lagoon, though it varies by location. There are three (3) major points of freshwater discharge into the Lagoon. The first is the C-51 Canal, between West Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach which contributed to the most pollution. The second is the C-17 canal, also known as the Earman River, which outflows run off from industrial areas in West Palm Beach, Riviera and Lake Park before exiting to the Lagoon north of Northlake Blvd. The third is the C-16 canal collecting runoff from residential areas in Boynton Beach. Monitoring stations are located around Munyon Island, the ICW and C-17 Canal to identify various levels of toxins and turbidity. The data is then used by the Village to satisfy the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) operated by FDEP. The Village is held accountable for the ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON _____ CONSERVATION 4 quality of the waterways and monitors all development activities near the water for compliance with required pollution levels. Village of North Palm Beach has established a fertilizer friendly ordinance, specified in Chapter 27, Article IV of the Village Code of Ordinances. The Village should continue to encourage the reduction in residential use of fertilizers during the wet season to reduce runoff to the waterways. The Boats can also affect the water quality with gas and oil leaks, sewage discharge, and littering. Though sometimes difficult to enforce, the Village Police Department monitors the waterways for violations related to overt pollution acts by a vessel. Additionally, the Village restricts live-aboard boats, which will consistently discharge sewage to the waterways if not moved. Ground Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA) is the potable water and sewer provider for all properties within the municipal limits of the Village. SUA creates a water supply plan, as required by Florida Statute Section 163.3177(6)(c) 3, in conjunction with the SFWMD every 5 years to address the changes in demand and supply. The Village is currently in the process of updating its water supply plan in coordination with the recently adopted updates to the SFWMD data from 2023. Wellfield protection zones have been established by Palm Beach County in areas near water intake wells as set forth in Article 14.B.6 of the County Unified Land Development Code. The Environment Resource Management Department has specified uses that are ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 5 permitted within four (4) zones at varying distances to the wells and reviews all new land uses within these areas. The zones have been mapped based upon travel time contours and one-foot drawdown contours. They are generated using a contaminant transport computer model that simulates pollutant movement using particles released around wells. Zone one (1) is identified as the land between the well and a contour of 30 day travel time, Zone two (2) is between 30 day and 210 days, Zone three (3) is 210 days to 500 days and Zone four (4) is over 500 days, but within the one-foot drawdown. All new development requires permitting and subsequent monitoring for compliance through Palm Beach County. SUA operates a water intake and treatment facility to the immediate west of the Village’s municipal limits, but there are no intake wells within municipal limits. Many properties between Prosperity Farms Rd and Alternate A1A are within Zone four (4). Only properties on the west side of Alternate A1A are located within Zones Two and Three. A wellfield protection zone map has been created for reference (RCON-Map 1) Needs: The Village should work with SUA to analyze potential pollutant discharges from underground tanks, sewage lines, and gas lines throughout the Village. All pollution measurements should be taken to identify sources, and then restrict them through regulation. Residential lawn pesticides and fertilizers, as well as stormwater runoff from pools and patios result in higher levels of pollutants. Educational efforts to residents, as well as increased regulations and monitoring are supported. The Lake Worth Lagoon Management Plan specifies the creation of stakeholder groups, increased monitoring of water quality and establishing BMPs to better the quality of the waterways. C. Emergency Conservation of Water Resources The South Florida Water Management District Water Shortage Plan has been created for the planning of potential impacts to the water supply in times of drought, infrastructure losses or other natural disasters. The Village will be required to follow the Water Shortage Plan, as well as direction from SUA as the water utility provider, in times of emergency. ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 6 D. Conserve Soils The United States Geological Survey maintains data on the underlying soils of the Village as reflected in RCON-Map 2 attached. The developed area of the Village is mainly comprised of Arents (40%), Quartzipsamments (22%), and Basinger (11%), with smaller pockets of various other soil types, including muck and tidal soils within MacArthur State Park. Erosion Factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by water. Generally, east of Prosperity Farms road, the soils have a K-Factor of 0.02, the lowest score possible. The Basinger soils to the west of Prosperity Farms Rd. have a slightly higher erosion factor of 0.05. Though erosion levels of the soil, type is low, shorelines and elevation changes will erode during storm events. The banks of the Earman River are much high than the water level. Where there are not mature plant, material to keep the banks stabilized, erosion has been identified to varying degrees. Lakeside Park often sees erosion of the natural shoreline after storm events and the Village has recently bolstered the dune with native grasses. A map has been created to identify the areas of erosion, OCON-Map 1. No commercially valuable minerals are being mined or extracted in the North Palm Beach Planning Area. Some concentrations of coquina, dolomite, and sand exist below the surface but are located in developed areas. Needs: The Village should continue to identify the hazards involved with soil erosion near the waterways. Though there is not much terrain or soils with high K factors, storm events can erode seawalls and embankments. There are no significant mining or agricultural operations within the Village limits that would diminish soil quality over the long term. E. Wildlife Habitats The only areas of natural habitat are located within the JDMBSP and the waterways. The JDMBSP management plan lists the following endangered species within its boundaries: Reptiles • Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) • Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) • Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) • Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Mammals • Florida Manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) Birds • Woodstork (Mycteria american ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 7 • Piping plover (Charadrius melodus) • Little blue heron (Egretta caerulea) • Reddish egret (Egretta rufescens) • Snowy egret (Egretta thula) • Tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor) • Swallow-tailed kite (Elanoides forficatus) • White ibis (Eudocimus albus) • Merlin (Falco columbarius) • Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) • Southern bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) • Worm-eating warbler (Helmitheros vermivorus) • Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) • Brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) • Black skimmer (Rynchops niger) • American redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) • Least tern (Sterna antillarum) Fish • Mangrove rivulus (Rivulus marmoratus) The Village should support the continued designation of Manatee Protection Zones in the ICW and surrounding waters and the posting of manatee warning signs informing boaters that this species may be present. There are two State established Manatee Protection Zones that make up the waters of the Lake Worth Lagoon which require boaters to operate at lower speeds. These zones are defined in Chapter 68C-22.009, Florida Administrative Code. The Village is frequently used by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and other agencies as an area for rehabilitated manatees to be released back into the wild. There are six imperiled plants found within the Village limits, according to the JDMBSP Management Plan: 1. Golden leather fern (Acrostichum aureum) 2. Sea lavender (Argusia gnaphalodes) ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 8 3. Johnson’s seagrass (Halophila johnsonii) 4. Burrowing four-o'clock (Okenia hypogaea) 5. Hand Fern (Ophioglossum palmatum) Needs: Although the Village does not own and operate any natural area, many of the listed species of concern above will travel throughout the area and roost on the golf course or wade in the retention ponds. The Village should evaluate all potential locations of nesting birds, gopher tortoise burrows, or endangered plants on Village property and support their survival. All new development and redevelopment of existing properties should incorporate native plant materials to serve as habitat for native species. F. Natural Areas There are no natural areas within the municipal limits owned and maintained by the Village, but a significant area of JDMBSP is comprised of maritime hammock, beach dune, and mangrove swamp habitats that are preserved by the State of Florida and designated as Conservation on the Village’s Future land use RFLU-Map 1. Beaches and Sand Dunes All of the 18.6 acres of beach and dune areas are located within the boundaries of John D. MacArthur Beach State Park (JDMBSP) and are managed by the State of Florida. The JDMBSP Management Plan has been created with the goal of establishing processes for providing access to the general public while also preserving the viability of the sand dunes for storm surge protection. Beach dune is a coastal mound or ridge of unconsolidated sediments found along shorelines with high-energy waves. Vegetation will consist of herbaceous dune forming grass species such as sea oats (Uniola paniculata) and sand cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). The dunes range from a few feet above sea level to 20 feet tall. They are classified by the JDMBSP Master Plan as good in the northern area ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 9 where some sections have eroded and excellent in the southern end where wider sections of dune habitat exist. Maritime Hammock Maritime hammock is a coastal evergreen hardwood forest occurring in narrow bands along stabilized coastal dunes. Canopy species will typically consist of live oak (Quercus virginiana), red bay (Persea borbonia), and cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto). The canopy will typically be dense and often salt spray pruned. Understory species may consist of yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), and/or wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera). Herbaceous groundcover will be very sparse or absent.Mangrove Swamp A mangrove swamp is typically characterized as a dense forest occurring along relatively flat, low wave energy, marine, and estuarine shorelines. The dominant overstory will include red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), black mangrove (Avicennia germinans), white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa), and buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus). The estuaries of the Lake Worth Lagoon contain brackish water and less consistent wave action resulting in the ability for native plant material to propagate. The majority of this habitat is found within JDMBSP, but there are several instances of small mangrove clusters, such as the south shore of Anchorage Park along the Earman River. G. Local Government cooperation The Lake Worth Lagoon is the only natural resource shared by other local municipalities and requires similar regulations to preserve the ecosystem and environmental benefits. The Lagoon is approximately 20 miles long. Palm Beach County coordinates the Lake Worth Lagoon Management Plan, last updated in July of 2021. The Plan seeks to connect stakeholders, initiate best management practices, monitor pollutant sources, and manage freshwater inflows. The Village should continue to support actions specified in the Lagoon Management Plan, especially as they relate to Village owned properties by encouraging the planting native of vegetation and restoring habitat where feasible. ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 10 H. Environmentally Sensitive Lands There are no environmentally sensitive lands owned by the Village, but JMDBSP lands have a conservation designation according to the Future Land Use Map and have been identified on the Bays, Harbor, Rivers, Estuaries and Drainage Basins Map (RCM-MAP 1). Within the Lake Worth Lagoon, seagrass habitat has been destroyed by boat traffic and dredging over many years. Seagrass is one of the main food sources for manatees and a stable supply is crucial for their population survival. Additionally, seagrasses are effective in removing pollutants and excess nutrients from the water. The Lake Worth Lagoon Management Plan has established seagrass monitoring locations to assess the stability of the habitat. The latest management plan reported slightly declining seagrass areas over the period of 2013 to 2018. FDEP has established dredging and development rules in 62-330, Florida Administrative Code. All proposed private and commercial docks shall submit a request to FDEP staff to analyze impacts to the existing seagrass beds. Each permit is reviewed on a case-by-case basis to allow marine vessel access to an upland property, while preserving the maximum amount of seagrass. I. Hazardous Waste FDH-PBC Hazardous Waste Program provides services to protect the citizens and visitors of Palm Beach County from adverse health effects attributable to improper generation and disposal of hazardous waste. Waste is classified as hazardous waste if it is specifically listed by EPA, or if the waste exhibits one or more of the following characteristics: ignitability, corrosiveness, reactivity, or toxicity. This program provides oversight of the generation and management of hazardous waste in Palm Beach County. Commercial facilities such as automotive body and repair shops, dry cleaners, laboratories, and hospitals generating hazardous waste are inspected for compliance and permitted through the County.

The properties include two (2) dry cleaners and four (4) are automobile service stations. The properties deemed “active” are annually monitored by FDEP to confirm on-going compliance to a site that had previous violations. The “open” status means actions are currently being taken to remediate a contaminant. J. Wetlands There are no freshwater wetlands within the municipal limits according to the SFWMD, but there are three mangrove swamps established with a conservation easement: 1) The tidal waters of the Sanctuary Cove Apartments (1000 Sanctuary Cove Dr), 2) an easement encompassing the south shoreline of Anchorage Park; 3) the entirety of JDMBSP. K. Land uses The Village has established a Conservation land use category that applies only to the JDMBSP. The intent of this land use category is to conserve or protect natural resources of environmental quality. The following uses are permitted within this land use category: 1. Passive recreation; 2. Flood control; 3. Protection of quality or quantity of ground water or surface water; 4. Floodplain management; 5. Fisheries management; 6. Protection of vegetative community or wildlife habitats; 7. Residential and administrative buildings for the protection of the OS district; 8. Single-family dwellings with accessory buildings customarily incidental thereto. All other future land uses allocate density and intensity to parcels of land. The Village should seek to locate compatible land uses adjacent to natural areas, parks and areas with potentially sensitive species. Uses such as gas stations, concrete plants, and industrial storage facilities known to cause environmental impacts should be restricted to areas away from Wellfield Protection Zones and waterways as much as feasible. ATTRACTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan CON ____ CONSERVATION 12 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following categories have been provided as a summary of the recommended additions to operations or policies within the Village of North Palm Beach: Protecting Air Quality- • Eliminate open air burning, including yard waste and trash; • Encourage reduction of fossil fuels in all Village operations; • Coordination with other municipalities and government agencies, including FDH-PBC, to reduce airborne particulates within Village limits.

Recreation and Open Space Data and Analysis Chapter 3: Attractive and Environmentally Friendly Communities Element 9 Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ROS _____ ATTRACTIVE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY RECREATION & OPEN SPACE 1 DATA AND ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION The Village of North Palm Beach (“Village”) was established in 1956 as an award winning master-planned community, containing three neighborhood parks within single family neighborhoods. By 1963, the municipal golf course was established and over the decades, additional facilities have been included to further bolster the quality of life for the residents of the Village. The recreational facilities owned and operated by the Village currently total 198 acres, including the Community Center, the North Palm Beach Country Club, and Anchorage, Lakeside and Osborne parks. Forty-seven (47) acres are maintained by the Leisure Services Department which was created in 2022 as a combination of the Library and Parks & Recreation Departments. The Leisure Services Department is funded entirely by the general fund, generated from taxes and service fees levied by the Village. Grant funding is available for specific maintenance and facility upgrades but varies by year. For fiscal year 2023, Leisure Services expended $2,893,594. The North Palm Beach County Club totals 151 acres and is a publicly accessible golf course owned and operated by the Village. The Country Club Department maintains the 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, community pool and tennis center. Funding is entirely through user fees, memberships and sales of food and equipment at the clubhouse. The Village’s advantageous location along the Intracoastal Waterway and the Lake Worth Lagoon provides many opportunities for residents to participate in the outdoors and experience the tropical climate of South Florida. Many of the Village’s facilities lie along the waterways with access to swimming, fishing, boating and wildlife viewing contributing to the Village’s motto, “the best place to live under the sun”. INVENTORY OF RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE FACILITIES The following inventory of parks, open spaces, and recreation facilities is prepared in compliance with state requirements (Florida Statute 163.3177). The Village’s classifications are comparable to both Palm Beach County and the State of Florida classifications for open space and recreation, and provide for the necessary modifications tailored to the unique features of the community and the Leisure Services Department's operations. The Recreation and Open Space Element of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan was most recently updated by way of Ordinance Number 2012-22, effective 08/31/12. The element recognizes four (4)categories of public recreation: Countywide(Regional, Beach and District), Local- Level(Community and Neighborhood), Open Space, an d Recreational & Cultural. The Village of North Palm Beach maintains a variety of recreation opportunities over 198 acres of park land located within the Village. The Village’s parks and recreational facilities consist of athletic fields, community centers, parks & open spaces, playgrounds, beaches, a community garden and waterway access for boating and fishing. RROS-Map 1 reflects the location of all public recreation and open space facilities in the Village. The following inventory of the existing Village facilities are categorized into four (4) sections (Parklets, Neighborhood & Community Parks, Regional Parks, and Other) ranging in level of services provided and number of patrons anticipated to be served as well as level of Village involvement in managing the services. All property sizes were provided by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ROS ____ ATTRACTIVE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY RECREATION & OPEN SPACE 2 1. Parklets Parklets are generally defined as facilities less than one (1) acre in size and provide a basic level of service with passive recreational activities. Typically located within residential neighborhoods to serve the immediate residents, these facilities may be maintained by the Village or private entities, but open to the general public. There are no active recreational uses, but they serve as green spaces to sit or walk within. There are currently two (2) properties within the Village that operate as a parklet: Prosperity Village Open Space and Monet Road Open Space. Prosperity Village Open Space contains a bench while Monet Road Park has no definable facilities. Both properties are further specified in Table ROS-1 below: Table ROS-1 2. Neighborhood and Community Parks Neighborhood and Community Parks are defined as facilities over one (1) acre in size and are located along collector roads with parking areas to capture a larger portion of the population than persons residing in the immediate vicinity. These properties may have athletic fields for organized sports as well as restrooms. They will typically serve a larger neighborhood or multiple small neighborhoods. All operations are open to the general public and maintained by the Village of North Palm Beach. There are currently six (6) facilities that meet the definition of Neighborhood & Community Parks, including the Country Club pool and tennis facilities used by residents daily and operate similarly to the other neighborhood and community parks.

Regional Facilities Regional facilities are defined as facilities over ten (10) acres in size and serving a as a destination for residents of Northern Palm Beach County. Though these types of parks typically contain large athletic fields, or nature trails, the Village’s single Regional Facility is the North Palm Beach Country Club. The 18-hole golf course is owned by the Village and operated by the Country Club Department with paid entry to the general public. Near the golf course is a practice putting green, chipping green and driving range. Players also have access to a pro-shop and locker rooms. Reduced fees to use the course are available to residents and individuals with memberships. The clubhouse was rebuilt in 2019, after over 60 years in operation. The new building includes a restaurant and event venue overlooking the golf course.

Other Parks John D. MacArthur Beach State Park (JDMBSP) is the only public recreational facility within the municipal limits of North Palm Beach, not operated by the Village. Though similar to a Regional Facility, serving as a destination for residents of northern Palm Beach County, JDMBSP receives separate funding and is regulated by the State of Florida. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection created a John D. MacArthur Beach State Park Management Plan (“Management Plan”), last updated on August 26, 2020. The Management Plan establishes an inventory of habitat and facilities, specifies programs for habitat preservation and public outreach, and outlines upgrades to facilities over time. There is an individual entrance fee for the general public. Memberships to all of Florida State Parks are available as well.

The Conservatory School is the only public school, serving students in kindergarten through 8th grade. St. Clare Catholic School and the Benjamin School are both private, serving students in Pre-K-3 to 8th grade and kindergarten to 8th grade respectively. There is currently an agreement only with the Conservatory School for mutual usage of their facilities. Agreements are common between local governments and the Palm Beach County School District, but less common with private schools. The indoor gymnasiums specified in the table are similar to the Village Community Center Indoor multipurpose space, which may include basketball, volleyball, etc. The basketball courts column is specifically limited to those provided outdoors. Where multiple playgrounds are provided, they are for different age groups.

Many citizens have their recreational needs met in their neighborhood by private recreation amenities. An awareness of private recreational supply is a meaningful consideration to public recreational planning and service delivery. It should also be noted that the Village is supportive of these private facilities. Streets and Sidewalks Sidewalks provide a commonly used, but often forgotten, recreational amenity to most of the residents. All of the single family neighborhoods have sidewalks provided along at least one side of the street. Pedestrian accessibility is key to providing accessible parks and recreation facilities. If provided within the public right-of- way, the Village ensures the sidewalks are cleared of debris and, unimpeded by vehicles, and fixes cracks from adjacent trees. Though the street edges are designed as swales for stormwater drainage, certain species of trees are permitted and provide beneficial shade to pedestrians. The full list of allowed trees, subject to locational approval by the Public Works Director, is available in Section 27- 18 of the Village Code of Ordinances. Waterways North Palm Beach was designed to provide waterway access to as many residents as possible, whether they live on the water or near it. Lakeside Park, Anchorage Park, the Golf Course, and JDMBSP all front a different waterbody with varying levels of usability. Lakeside Park has a beach, but no swimming or boat launching. Anchorage Park has boat launching for motorized vessels, kayaks and the North Palm Beach rowing club with a fishing dock. Though the Village maintains the residential canals through various dredging efforts, individuals are allowed to clear the area around a mooring location immediately adjacent to their property, subject to applicable local, state and federal laws. The Intracoastal Waterway main channel is maintained by the Florida Inland Navigation District. The Lake Worth Lagoon is monitored for various water quality metrics and habitat conditions by the State of Florida within JDBMSP and by Palm Beach County elsewhere. The Earman River is maintained by South Florida Water Management District for stormwater control. Through this intergovernmental joint effort in maintenance, the waterways are navigable, clear of debris and monitored for safe usage by the general public. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ROS ____ ATTRACTIVE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY RECREATION & OPEN SPACE 8 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Village currently maintains 198.1 acres of neighborhood and community parks as well as the North Palm Beach Country Club (Table ROS-6). With 12,862 residents estimated in 2022 per Palm Beach County Planning Division, there is a current ratio of 15.4 acres of park lands per 1000 residents. An overall list is provided below. Table ROS-6 A needs assessment was completed in 2021 by Barth Associates to identify existing facilities and potential expansion of services. An online survey was sent out to all residents with 751 participating. Additionally, interviews and focus group meetings were conducted with 61 participants. The findings were presented to the Village Council on November 18, 2021. The following information has been taken from the needs assessment. The existing Level of Service (LOS) for the Village was established as the ratio of all public park spaces (minus the golf course) per 1,000 residents (using 2020 census data). The LOS was identified as 4.4 acres per 1000 residents. It was noted the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) has established a median benchmark of municipalities at 6.8 acres per 1,000 residents making the Village deficient by 2.4 acres per 1,000. Map 1, below, was provided as part of the needs assessment to specify the location of all neighborhood parks (dark green). The traveling distance for residents to access neighborhood and community parks is specified in orange. The dark orange areas have sufficient access to a local park, while the light orange areas would have to travel over one-half mile. The deficient properties are located south of the Earman River and north of the Intracoastal Waterway, but many of these are multifamily residential communities with private recreational facilities.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Sidewalks have been provided on both sides of all Village residential streets as required in the initial design of the Village. Some streets that were annexed into the Village have gaps in connectivity as well as sidewalk widths that could be expanded to better accommodate the public. A pedestrian master plan was recommended within the needs assessment to identify the gaps and plan for future development. Map 1 identifies the major thoroughfares (green lines) that could be improved to accommodate a bike network to connect neighborhoods and community facilities. 2. On-line Survey The online survey of residents was conducted through outreach on social media, the website and the Village newsletter yielding 751 participants. Table ROS-7 shows the results of the survey with bike trails and walking paths highlighted as the top two responses necessitating the creation of the bicycle and pedestrian master plan. Also highlighted is the addition of shade trees and shade structures over playgrounds. Below are the results of the survey which listed potential overall improvements to the Village’s parks. The residents checked all that they supported. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ROS ____ ATTRACTIVE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY RECREATION & OPEN SPACE 10 Table ROS-7 Responses were also collected to identify improvements needed in five (5) specific parks owned and operated by the Village. The top response for Anchorage Park, Osborne Park and the Community Center was the addition of shade trees. The top result for Lakeside Park was the desire for a restroom facility and the top result for the Country Club was to have discounted entry fees for residents. See Table ROS-8 below for the entire list of results. Table ROS-8 It should be noted that there are master plans currently in development for Osborne Park and the Community Center to build on these survey results and establish what can be added in the near future. Since this survey was completed, additional trees and a new playground were added to Anchorage Park. The Country Club does offer resident discounts, including memberships for families and social events.

Park Maintenance The third recommendation provided in the needs assessment was the maintenance of current parks space including but not limited to updating irrigation systems, improving pathway lighting, upgrading sport courts, repairing fencing and replacing sod. It was recommended that an Annual Asset Management (repair and replace) plan be created for the analysis of upgrades that need to occur. Funding can be achieved through federal and state improvement grants. 4. Programs and Special Events The survey participants identified various programs that they would like to see offered within the Village park facilities. The top requested response (34% of the vote) was for Kayak & paddleboard programs, including rentals and group outings. Nature & Environmental programs, offering educational opportunities for families secured 27% of votes. Organized walking groups and community service & volunteering events received 26% each. In order to enact the programs expressed by this survey, potential suggestions were given by the Needs Assessment consultant. A paddle board rental station or partnership with JDMBSP would help the desire to have kayak and paddleboard availability. Community services opportunities may include organized beach cleanups or assistance with the Village Library. To provide nature and environmental programs, a community garden was created at Osborne Park, following this survey. Youth Sports were discussed in focus groups and it was determined there is a need for non-competitive sports programs for younger children (ages 3-5) in the area. Special events are already common at many of the Village parks including Heritage Day, Fourth of July, boat parade, fishing tournament, haunted house at the library and many more. It was recommended to expand the accessibility, receive partnerships for resources and funding, and ensure events are provided for all age groups on a monthly basis. FUTURE OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS The needs assessment has established the need to create a Parks Master Plan for future development of the facilities in the Village as well as a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan to connect the community. Both plans should identify the accessibility of the parks for all age- groups and income levels. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ROS ____ ATTRACTIVE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY RECREATION & OPEN SPACE 12 Level of Service (LOS) As specified in the needs assessment, the existing LOS for the Village is 4.4 acres per 1000 residents (excluding the Country Club). The Village previously established a LOS for individual sports and activities, rather than a comprehensive aggregation of minimum acreage. The previous method of establishing the LOS is considered to be too restrictive to meet the changing demands of the public and fluctuating sources based in part on grant funding. Therefore, the adopted level of service should focus on the overall need for developed public park facilities per resident. The LOS shall be defined as all maintaining the current level of neighborhood and community parks, as well as parklets, per 1000 residents. The total acreage of all facilities equals 53.42 acres and the total population as of 2022 is 12,862 yielding an existing LOS of 4.15 acres per 1,000 residents. This differs from the needs assessment due to population growth and differing measurements of facilities. Of the municipalities in South Florida that have established an overall level of service, they vary in size from 2 acres per 1,000 residents in Lake Worth Beach, 3 acres per 1,000 residents in Greenacres and Stuart, and up to 15 acres per 1,000 residents in Vero Beach. The small number in Lake Worth Beach was established because there is little land available to increase park space while Vero Beach has over 800 acres of public open space that greatly increases the ratio to the current population. Per Palm Beach County Planning Division population estimates, the Village is expected to increase by 641 residents between 2022 and 2035. The population estimate is determined by analysis of historic growth trends throughout the Village and does not factor in the change in regulations or specific development projects proposed. In order to maintain the existing level of service, an additional 2.62 acres of parks will be necessary by 2035. See Table ROS-9 below for reference. Table ROS-9 Since the Village is currently built out except for a few vacant parcels, there is not likely to be a new neighborhood and community park provided at the minimum 1 acre threshold. Most additional recreation space will likely come from parklets, such as the land dedicated from the creation of the Prosperity Village planned development in 2022. There may be additional opportunities for small park spaces on other Village properties or rights-of-way that can be identified through an open space analysis.

Dedications from private land owners or purchase of lands by the Village. New residential development is encouraged within the limits of the Village, but the LOS will be affected. To maintain the LOS, developments should be required to provide on-site recreation and open space for the proposed development. A cash out option may be considered and approved by the Village Council. The Code of Ordinances, Section 36-23 “Public Sites and Open Spaces” currently requires subdivisions to dedicate 5% of the gross land area or pay an amount equal to the fair market value of that portion of land. With an established LOS of 4.15 per 1000 residents, an amendment to the Ordinance should be considered to be applicable to all residential development that may not need a subdivision. Impact fees are currently being reviewed by the Village to be imposed on all new residential developments to offset the cost associated with meeting the LOS for future residents. The impact fees may be used by the Village to purchase property for future park lands. Though there are few undeveloped acres available within the municipal boundaries of the Village, properties may be redeveloped to become active recreation space. Of the properties in the immediate annexation area, none have been identified for potential parks or conservation. Some properties are currently vacant or underutilized and could be purchased to be repurposed for public park facilities. The Village should remain open to, and perhaps actively pursue, opportunities for expanding its parks system through the donation of land. While the benefits of such acquisitions must be evaluated in terms of populations served, accessibility, development and maintenance costs, etc., donations remain a desirable acquisition alternative for the future. Funding Sources Additional grant funding is available through the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP). “The purpose of this program is to provide grants to qualified local governmental entities to acquire or develop land for public outdoor recreational purposes.” In the past, the Village has also used The Recreational Trails Program (RTP), Land and Water Conservation Fund Program (LWCF), and Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) grant funding for park improvements. In order to offset the rising costs of maintenance and park development, the Village will continue to pursue these allocations of funds made available by the federal and state governments for future development and land acquisition. Access All facilities should be accessible to the general public with special considerations given in the design of any future amenity to all age groups, abilities and mobilities. The disabled population often requires special recreation opportunities. The Village recognizes a shared responsibility with other governmental entities to provide opportunities for all. Facilities such as special exercise courses and trails should be included in community parks and some neighborhood parks. Special trails can also be constructed for the enjoyment of disabled persons. At the very least, all facilities should be accessible. Senior citizens sometimes encounter access difficulties and may prefer to enjoy their leisure apart from youths and children. Planning with senior citizens in mind should translate into the provision of adequate access and facilities for the pursuit of leisure activities. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ROS ____ ATTRACTIVE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMMUNITY RECREATION & OPEN SPACE 14 Planning for future recreational facilities and parks should take into account the special barrier- free accessibility needs of disabled persons and of the elderly. Accessibility requirements include wheelchair ramps, railings, restroom facilities designed to provide access to the handicapped and other facilities constructed to allow safe use by all. Another group to consider is children. They require specific recreational facilities and opportunities. Playground equipment in parks would help meet the demand of this younger age group for recreation opportunities, as well as sport fields and similar activities. SUMMARY The Village is continuously working to improve the Recreation and Open Space facilities for the residents. Each park is planned to develop a long term master plan for future growth and development. This will ensure that each space efficiently reaches its full potential to serve the community. As the demographics and activity trends change over time, the Village should be prepared to modify fields, courts and buildings to provide services that residents desire. It is the goal of the Village to maintain the North Palm Beach Country Club as a publicly owned and accessible facility for future generations to enjoy. The financial and practical sustainability of the facilities is of great concern without a formal plan in place. Lakeside Park is currently maintained as a popular passive, neighborhood park with limited parking and no restrooms. Anchorage Park needs to effectively balance residents’ desires for an expanded boat storage area with active recreational uses. With these large issues remaining, additional planning needs to be completed, and in-depth discussions on each topic need to be had, to successfully enhance and continue to expand offerings within the parks of the Village of North Palm Beach. Responsible and Accessible Government Intergovernmental Coordination Property Rights Evaluation and Monitoring Intergovernmental Coordination Data and Analysis Chapter 4: Responsible and Accessible Government Element 10 RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-1 DATA & ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION One of the principal tenets of the Growth Management Act is to improve coordination and cooperation among the various levels of government and, in some cases, with the private sector. The purpose of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element is to identify and analyze principles and guidelines to be used in the accomplishment of the goals, objectives and policies of the North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan through coordination with the Palm Beach County School Board, the adjacent local governments, and regional and state agencies. The citizenry in North Palm Beach is affected by the actions of other governmental agencies in Palm Beach County, the West Palm Beach metropolitan area, and the state, and this element exists to identify and resolve any incompatibilities that may be proposed. Many formal and informal networks of information and coordination currently exist between the Village of North Palm Beach and other governmental units and agencies. These units and agencies often participate in some phase of planning involving land use and/or the provision of services necessitating coordination with Palm Beach County. The following section provides an inventory of these information and coordination networks among the Village, Palm Beach County and adjacent counties, local authorities and special districts, regional authorities and districts, state agencies, and federal agencies. This Element is organized into two principal sections. The first section provides an inventory of existing intergovernmental coordination arrangements between the Village of North Palm Beach and other governmental entities. The second section provides an analysis of these arrangements and their current effectiveness. A discussion of the intergovernmental issues that would benefit from improved cooperation and/or coordination is also provided. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION METHODS Federal Regulations Although the Village coordinates and participates with a variety of entities, there are no federal regulations governing intergovernmental coordination. Most entities realize the importance of identifying and resolving incompatible goals, objectives, and policies and, therefore, voluntarily include processes and procedures that benefit the coordination efforts between parties. RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-2 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION State Regulations Florida Statutes Chapter 163 Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes contains the State’s Local Government Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulation Act. The Act provides the Village of North Palm Beach with the authority to plan for future development and growth and to adopt and amend a comprehensive plan. Section 163.3177(6)(h), Fla. Stat., describes the provisions required within the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the local comprehensive plan. This type of element demonstrates consideration of the particular effects of the local plan, when adopted, upon the development of adjacent municipalities, the county, adjacent counties, or the region, or upon the state comprehensive plan, as the case may require. Florida Statutes Chapter 187 Chapter 187, State Comprehensive Plan, contains many policies which impact intergovernmental coordination, including land use, public facilities, transportation, government efficiency, and plan implementation. The Intergovernmental Coordination Element must also be compatible with the State Plan. Local Regulations Other Agreements Interlocal Agreements Intergovernmental agreements allow governments to cooperate with one another in the performance of tasks, thereby reducing a duplication of services and possibly increasing cost efficiency. Agreements are in place between the County, School Board, and other entities in an effort to better coordinate such things as utility locations, concurrency, and school facility siting and planning. Mutual-Aid Agreements Mutual-aid agreements are in existence to assist the member entities in road maintenance, aid to libraries; water interconnects in times of need, dredging, public safety services, and social services. CONFLICT RESOLUTION Even with the best communication and coordination mechanisms in place, conflicts will invariably arise. To address this concern, in 1989 the Countywide Planning Council was established “to coordinate the land use planning process of all governments within the County and to establish a cooperative effort that will resolve or prevent incompatibilities and conflicts among local governments' land use planning efforts”. Coordination of the thirty-eight land use plans was to have occurred through the Countywide Planning Council, however, in 1991, under provisions within the Charter, the Council was RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-3 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION sunsetted by a majority of the municipalities and efforts to reinstate the Council through a ballot measure was not approved by Palm Beach County voters. Following the defeat of the countywide referendum, the municipal planning directors within the County created a substitute organization with the purpose to establish a countywide comprehensive plan amendment coordinated review process. In October 1993, the Multi-Jurisdictional Issues coordination forum and the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Coordinated Review Process (IPARC) were established through the execution of two Interlocal Agreements. Current program membership includes the County, 31 municipalities, the School Board, South Indian River Water Control District, Lake Worth Drainage District, Indian Trail Improvement District, Jupiter Inlet District, Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District, Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District, and the Northern Palm Beach County Water Control District. The purpose of IPARC is: 1. To achieve coordination of local comprehensive plans in accordance with Part II of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. Palm Beach County 2. To establish an intergovernmental coordination program for reviewing proposed changes to adopted comprehensive plans with minimal bureaucracy and expense. 3. To provide an opportunity to resolve potential disputes with the least amount of infringement upon existing processes. The Intergovernmental Program provides an ideal structure for addressing intergovernmental conflicts and also serves as a means to organize local governments to address multijurisdictional issues. The Village has established a policy to use IPARC to address conflicts but the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) has informal mediation procedures for resolving conflicts between adjacent jurisdictions if other efforts have failed. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS This section provides a description of the connections between various governments and other entities. It discusses the mechanisms that assist planning bodies and activities. Table A.1 summarizes the numerous coordination efforts, interlocal agreements, and the quasi-judicial relations that the Village undertakes to provide its residents with the best level of service available. RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-4 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION (1) Local Coordination Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) – The Village of North Palm Beach currently possesses its own police and fire rescue services that maintain jurisdiction over all lands located within Village limits. However, the City of Palm Beach Gardens Police Department manages the Northern Municipal Regional Communications Center, otherwise known as NorthCom, which is the primary PSAP for the Village and dispatches all police incidents directly. Fire Rescue incidents are transferred to a secondary PSAP, that being Palm Beach County Fire Rescue for dispatch. Palm Beach County School Board – This coordination was formerly accomplished through a mandatory school concurrency process. The Florida Legislature made school concurrency optional in 2011 with the passage of the Community Planning Act. The same year, the original Palm Beach County Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for School Concurrency expired. The School Board, the Board of County Commissioners and the League of Cities charged IPARC with updating the existing ILA. The group opted to implement an alternative to School Concurrency, called the School Capacity Availability Determination (SCAD), and recommended entering into a new interlocal agreement for coordinated planning. The revised Interlocal Agreement (ILA) was approved and adopted by the School Board in August 19, 2015, and by the Palm Beach County on December 15, 2015. The Village signed onto the Interlocal Agreement. Local government signatories of the agreement are required to incorporate the School Board 5-Year Capital Facilities Plan into their comprehensive plans annually, without any funding obligation as well as coordinate and share information for planning purposes, including school’s population projections and local governments’ development and redevelopment proposals. The School Board may appoint non-voting representatives to local governments’ land planning agencies, who will attend meetings and public hearing hearings at the discretion of the School Board. School Capacity Availability Determination (SCAD) Pursuant to the ILA, School Capacity Availability Determination (SCAD) was established to replace school concurrency. Per the SCAD, School District staff would conduct an analysis regarding the impacts on local schools, including potential boundary changes, and make recommendations that could be incorporated as conditions of development approval, dependent upon the local government approving Board. The County was subdivided into 20 Planning Areas as part of the SCAD process. The School Capacity Availability Determination (SCAD) process includes all public schools in Palm Beach County. It entails reviewing the impact of proposed comprehensive plan amendments, and/or development orders on existing public schools and planned and funded schools. Through SCAD, District staff evaluates the direct impacts to schools actually serving proposed development as well as any planned additional capacity. SCAD review provides realistic information on impacts to schools. It uses 100% utilization of Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity. If capacity is not available at the direct school serving the proposed development, then capacity at adjacent schools in the same planning RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-5 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION area is reviewed. Complete choice schools are not included in the evaluation for school impacts. Palm Beach County - Located on the southeast coast, Palm Beach County is the largest of Florida's 67 counties. There are 39 municipalities within the County encompassing a total of 337 square miles, or approximately 17% of the County’s land area. As of FY 2024, an estimated 57% of the County’s population resides within the municipalities. The County and its independently elected constitutional officers provide a full range of services, including law enforcement, tourist development, fire rescue, conservation and resource management, public improvements, human services, parks and recreation, cultural facilities, planning and zoning, public transportation, economic development, property tax assessments and collections, official recordkeeping, court-related support functions, and financial services, including the investment of public funds and financial reporting. The County also operates two business enterprise activities: The Department of Airports and the Water Utilities Department Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District (NPBCID) - The Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District is an independent Special District created by the Florida legislature in 1959 to provide water management and infrastructure development in Palm Beach County. NPBCID’s service area covers over 128 square miles and includes parts of Unincorporated Palm Beach County, Tequesta, Jupiter, Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Lake Park, Mangonia Park, and West Palm Beach. Special Districts are unlike municipalities and counties in that some of them, including Northern, collect revenue from non-Ad Valorem assessments. This means that the amount of the assessment is not based on the value of the property. Assessments are paid solely by landowners benefiting from the services that Northern provides. The assessments collected do not duplicate services provided by other municipalities or districts and revenues can only be used for purposes authorized in its legislation. Some of the services that Northern provides are: storm water management; right-of-way maintenance including roadways and sidewalks; maintenance of canals, waterways and lakes; water quality monitoring; environmental mitigation and management, permit and plat review; and hurricane response and emergency operations. (2) Regional Coordination Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) - The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) is the regional planning agency responsible for the implementation of powers and duties pursuant to Chapter 186, F.S., for Palm Beach County and the Village of North Palm Beach. The TCRPC, located in Stuart, has regional planning jurisdiction in the counties of Indian River, Martin, St Lucie and Palm Beach. The TCRPC is responsible for the development and implementation of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan and has the authority to regulate Developments of Regional Impact (DRI). The Village of North Palm Beach coordinates with the TCRPC to provide the documentation for the local comprehensive plan amendments. As a member community, the Village of North Palm Beach may utilize the TCRPC for dispute resolution, as needed. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan must ensure consistency with the TCRPC’s Strategic Regional Policy Plan. The TCRPC-TAC is an important forum for the exchange of information of common interest (e.g., DEO rules) and communication with state agencies. Lastly, the TCRPC staff is an important source of technical assistance on a wide variety of planning issues ranging from hurricane evacuation to housing. RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-6 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) – The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is a regional governmental agency created in 1949 that manages water resources in the southern half of the State of Florida. This authority has regulatory control over all water-based resources within its jurisdiction, including but not limited to, wetland conservation, water supply planning, aquifer water withdrawals, stormwater treatment, and policy coordination. Palm Beach County Transportation Planning Agency (TPA) – This organization is an intergovernmental transportation planning agency required by state and federal law in urbanized areas with populations of more than 50,000 in order to plan, prioritize, and fund the transportation system. The TPA Board consists of elected officials from Palm Beach County, elected officials from the largest fifteen Palm Beach County municipalities, and a Port of Palm Beach Commissioner. Its staff implements the TPA Board’s policies. The TPA is responsible for conducting a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive transportation planning process through the development of a Long- Range Transportation Plan, Transit Development Plan, and 5-year Transportation Improvement Plan. (3) State Coordination Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) - The Florida DEO, previously known as the Florida Department of Community Affairs, assists the Governor in advancing the state’s economic development vision. It administers state and federal programs and initiatives to help visitors, citizens, businesses, and communities. In 2011, the legislature revised the procedures for the submittal and adoption of comprehensive plan amendments, allowing local governments to have more discretion in determining their future development by implementing an expedited State review process, which shortens the review time and allows for submittal of amendments throughout the year, removing the twice per calendar year limitation. Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) - The merger of the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation and the Florida Department of Natural Resources (FDNR) resulted in the creation of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). FDEP is the lead agency in state government for environmental management and stewardship. Its main objectives are to protect and manage Florida’s air, water, and land. The FDEP is divided into three primary areas: regulatory programs; land and recreation; and planning and management. Its priorities include restoring the Everglades; improving air quality; restoring and protecting the water quality in our springs, lakes, rivers and coastal waters; conserving environmentally-sensitive lands; and providing Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-7 RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION citizens and visitors with recreational opportunities, now and in the future. While the FDEP had a role in planning and plan amendment review, its relationship with the Village of North Palm Beach was based primarily on plan implementation. Managing the impacts of continued growth on the natural environment is a FDEP concern that reaches many elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The Village’s relationship with the FDEP is important and affects the Infrastructure, Capital Improvements, Conservation, Coastal Management, and Future Land Use Elements, especially as the Village continues to redevelop. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) - The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has a major role in the planning and implementation of the transportation components of the Comprehensive Plan. This role affects the planning and implementation of the Future Land Use Element as well, although to a lesser extent since that element must reflect an adequate ability to move people and goods. There are six districts under FDOT, and the Village lies within District Four, Southeast Florida. FDOT District Four covers Broward, Indian River, Martin, St, Lucie and Palm Beach Counties. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) - This agency is responsible for classifying habitat areas throughout the state and for preserving listed plant and animal species. Its responsibility includes the managing of fish and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and for the benefit of people. Included under the executive director’s supervision is the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) (http://myfwc.com/research/). The Florida Statutes charge the FWRI with these responsibilities: 1. Monitoring marine and freshwater resources, wildlife, and habitats; 2. Developing and implementing techniques for restoring plant and animal species and their habitats; 3. Providing technical support when oil spills and human related or natural disasters occur; 4. Monitoring red tide and providing technical support for state and local government public health concerns; and 5. Providing fish and wildlife research technical results to state and local governments. Environmental Health, Florida Department of Health (formerly the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services) - Environmental Health is a State agency that works to prevent diseases of environmental origin. Environmental Health activities focus on prevention, preparedness, and education, and are implemented through routine monitoring, education, surveillance, and sampling of facilities and conditions that may contribute to the occurrence or transmission of disease. Although the former agency HRS was a large state agency focused primarily on human services, it was also responsible for the permitting of septic tanks. North Palm Beach was not directly involved in septic tank issues, but was indirectly involved with the Department’s review of sanitary mains or other related facilities prior to installation. Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) - The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) plans for and responds to both natural and man-made disasters. These range from floods and hurricanes to incidents involving Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-8 RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION hazardous materials or nuclear power. The division prepares and implements a statewide Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and routinely conducts extensive exercises to test state and county emergency response capabilities in concert with their partners, FEMA and the State Emergency Response Team (SERT). The FDEM is tasked with implementing mutual aid programs at the local, state, and federal level. These programs are components of emergency response planning, management, and recovery operations. The Village is a signatory to the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement (SMAA) managed by FDEM. Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) - The Florida Inland Navigation District is a special taxing district that, along with the US. Army Corps of Engineers maintains and manages the federally authorized Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). FIND conducts dredging projects to ensure safe and accessible navigation along the IWC; provides upland land parcels for management of dredged material; and provides grants for waterway-associated projects in the 12 counties along the Atlantic IWC from the Florida/Georgia state line down through Miami-Dade County. (4) Federal Coordination Federal Communications Commission (FCC) The intergovernmental coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is rather limited. It is restricted primarily to regulations affecting the height of transmission towers or receiving antennae, or the location of transmission lines or other communication infrastructure. The near-term review of the Village’s Land Development Regulations (LDRs) has recognized FCC jurisdiction and rules that preempt local legislation. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - The relationship between the Village and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) involves the agency’s responsibilities for prescribing quality standards for potable water, sanitary sewer operations, and stormwater quality. The permitting and monitoring processes continue to provide the opportunity for regular coordination between the EPA and the Village regarding infrastructure, conservation, coastal management, and future land use. Army Corps of Engineers (USACoE) - The Army Corps of Engineers (USACoE) has jurisdictional responsibility over the navigable waters of the United States and over wetlands. Clearing and filling activities in wetlands require permits from the USACoE. Dredging, filling, and construction activities in the Intercoastal Waterway all require permits from USACoE as well. Federal Highway Administration (FHA) - The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation that supports state and local governments in the design, construction, and maintenance of the Nation’s highway system (Federal Aid Highway Program) and various federally and tribal owned lands (Federal Lands Highway RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-9 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION Program). Through financial and technical assistance to state and local governments, the Federal Highway Administration is responsible for ensuring that America’s roads and highways continue to be among the safest and most technologically sound in the world. On November 15, 2021, the U.S. President signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Public Law 117-58, also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”) into law. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is the largest, long-term investment in infrastructure and economy in our nation’s history. It provides $550 billion, over fiscal years 2022 through 2026, for new Federal investment in infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, mass transit, water infrastructure, resilience, and broadband. New programs under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law focus on key infrastructure priorities such as rehabilitating bridges in critical need of repair, reducing carbon emissions, increasing system resilience, removing barriers to connecting communities, and improving mobility and access to economic opportunity. Many of the new programs include eligibility for local governments and MPOs. Additionally, the FHA has focused and shall continue to focus on working closely with stakeholders to ensure that local communities are able to build multimodal, sustainable projects ranging from passenger rail and transit to bicycle and pedestrian paths. United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitle cities and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities principally for low- and moderate-income persons. North Palm Beach is not an entitlement community but Palm Beach County is. As a result, if North Palm Beach were to receive any CDBG funds they would be through the County and not directly from HUD. United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for managing and enforcing the Endangered Species Act. This act is important as part of the conservation policies of the Comprehensive Plan. FWS also issues permits for activities that may disturb endangered or threatened species, which would otherwise be prohibited. Utilities Electric A Franchise Agreement was entered into with Florida Power & Light Company, which is now known as NextEra, in 1957 to provide electricity to the Village, which Agreement expires in 2038. The Company supplies electric service to the Village as well as in many areas along the east coast of Florida (except the Jacksonville area and four other municipalities which have municipal electric systems), the agricultural area around southern and eastern Lake Okeechobee, the lower west coast area, and portions of central, north central, and portions of northwest Florida. RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-10 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION Telephone Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company entered into a Franchise Agreement with the Village to provide telephone and telegraph services. Southern Bell was renamed BellSouth Telecommunications until it was merged into AT&T in 2006. The Franchise Agreement expired in 2020. Cable Television FPL Fibernet, LLC, now known as Crown Castle, entered into a Franchise Agreement with the Village to provide telecommunications services. Sanitary, Sewer, Portable Water and reclaimed Water Sanitary, Sewer, Portable Water and reclaimed Water services are provided by the Seacoast Utility Authority. The Seacoast Utility Authority is a not-for-profit, governmental regional water, wastewater, and reclaimed water utility that furnishes potable water service to approximately 47,000 households and 2,700 commercial establishments. Wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services are provided to about 44,000 residential dwellings and 1,700 businesses. The Authority’s service area covers approximately 65 square miles. The 1988 Interlocal Agreement establishing the Authority covered the City of Palm Beach Gardens, the Village of North Palm Beach, the Town of Lake Park, a portion of the Town of Juno Beach and unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County. Gas Florida Public Utilities supplies residential, commercial, and industrial gas service within the Village’s corporate limits per a Franchise Agreement, which expires in 2040. Interlocal Agreements and Mechanisms The Village of North Palm Beach interacts with numerous governmental entities to deliver municipal services and manage development. Table.A.1 presents these entities with a description of the existing coordination mechanism, the subject and nature of the relationship, and the Village of North Palm Beach office charged with coordination.

These relationships acknowledge agreed upon efforts developed between participating entities and their commitments to achieve a common goal. These relationships may include grant contracts, mutual aid, revenue, information sharing, contractual obligations, and agreements for services. The Village of North Palm Beach participates in many different intergovernmental coordination efforts with neighboring local governments, including other governmental and quasi-governmental agencies. For example, North Palm Beach is a member of the Florida League of Municipalities, as well as the Palm Beach County League of Cities. These organizations are concerned with various common municipal issues. The Village Manager and a representative of the Village Council generally represent North Palm Beach at Palm Beach County League of Cities meetings. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan ICE-13 RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION The Village Manager is primarily responsible to keep the Village informed regarding municipal matters and to coordinate any activities related thereto. Intergovernmental Coordination Needs During the Planning Period The Village of North Palm Beach relies on positive intergovernmental relationships for the coordination and provision of many services for its citizens and stakeholders. To maintain these relationships, the Village should continue to: ♣ Cultivate stronger relationships with the adjacent communities, governmental entities, and agencies, seeking efficiencies and to support funding mechanisms to offset the costs of upgrades and improvements to better serve the citizens of North Palm Beach. ♣ Develop sound comprehensive planning policies through coordination with adjacent municipalities. ♣ Continue to seek ways to engage the public, especially disadvantaged populations, in the planning process.

The text of this Constitutional Amendment outlines the requirement that the government must provide “due process” under law and “just compensation” for the taking of private property for public use. Fourteenth Amendment The Fourteenth Amendment makes the Bill of Rights (the first ten Constitutional Amendments) applicable to state and local governments. It contains the Due Process Clause, which guarantees the following rights against the states: procedural protections, such as notice and a hearing before termination of entitlements; individual rights listed in the Bill of Rights, including freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, the right to bear arms, and a variety of criminal procedure protections; and fundamental rights that are not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. State Regulations Florida Statutes Section 163.3177(6)(i)1, Florida Statutes In accordance with the legislative intent expressed in sections 163.3161(10) and 187.101(3), Florida Statutes, governmental entities shall respect judicially acknowledged and constitutionally protected private property rights, and each local government shall include in its comprehensive plan a Property Rights Element to ensure that private property rights are considered in local decision making. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan PR ____ RESPONSIBLE & ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY RIGHTS 3 Section 70.001, Florida Statutes Florida Statutes section 70.001, also known as the Bert Harris Act or “Private Property Rights Protection Act”, provides a private cause of action when the existing use (or a vested right to a specific use) of property is inordinately burdened by the Florida governmental entity, including the agencies thereof. Adopted in 2021, it was created to provide relief to private landowners when a law, regulation, or ordinance inordinately burdens, restricts, or limits private property without amounting to a taking under the U.S. Constitution Sections 163.3220-163.3243, Florida Statutes Sections 163.3220-163.3243, Florida Statutes, otherwise known as the “Florida Local Government Development Agreement Act”, grants assurance to a developer that upon receipt of his or her development permit or brownfield designation he or she may proceed in accordance with existing laws and policies. Adopted in 2022, the Legislature enacted the bill in an effort to reduce uncertainty in development approvals by authorizing local governments to enter into development agreements with developers. These agreements will encourage a stronger commitment to comprehensive and capital facilities planning, ensure the provision of adequate public facilities for development, encourage the efficient use of resources, and reduce the economic cost of development. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS A Property Rights Element is required under the provisions of section 163.3177 (6) (i) 1, Florida Statutes. The inclusion of this element and continued adherence to best practices in the provision of public infrastructure and regulation of land development to protect the public health, safety, and welfare will ensure implementation of these provisions. This Element does not create any property rights or due process rights that are not already judicially acknowledged and constitutionally protected. The Village will continue to ensure that private property rights are clearly protected by the applicable provisions of the Village Charter, Code of Ordinances, and the Comprehensive Plan. The goal, objectives, and policies of the Property Rights Element will provide the direction necessary to proactively address potential policy conflicts before private property rights are adversely impacted.

(2015 - 2025 Work Plan)The purpose of the 2024-2034 Water Supply Plan is to identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and future development within the Village's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes (F.S.), requires local governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) approved the 2023-2024 2013 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update (2013 LEC Update). SFWMD adopted the latest Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan (LEC) on September 24, 2024. adopted the 2013 LEC Update on September 12, 2013. Per Section 163.3177(c), Florida Statutes, local governments and water suppliers are required to adopt a related Work Plan and supportive amendments to their comprehensive plans within 18 months of the approved LEC. by March 12, 2015. Municipalities and public water suppliers are required to coordinate with the SFWMD in the preparation of their Work Plans in order to identify needed facilities for at least a 10 - year planning horizon period, confirming that: (1) adequate water supply is available; and (2) infrastructure plans necessary to serve projected need have been prepared. The (2015 - 2025 Work Plan) references identified initiatives to ensure adequate water supply for the Village of North Palm Beach. According to state guidelines, the Village's 2024-2034 Work Plan (2015 - 2025 Work Plan) and Comprehensive Plan must address traditional and alternative water supplies, as appropriate, service delivery and conservation and reuse programs necessary to serve existing and new development for a minimum 10-year period. Further, the (2015 - 2025 Work Plan) 2024-2034 Work Plan must include a planning time-frame schedule consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the LEC Update. Potable water is supplied to North Palm Beach by the Seacoast Utility Authority (Seacoast). Local governments, like North Palm Beach, are required to coordinate with local public water suppliers, like Seacoast Utility Authority, in the preparation of Work Plans in order to identify needed facilities for at least a 10-year planning period. Seacoast does not have any plans for capital projects within this 10-year period. The Village will work with Seacoast Utility Authority and to coordinate with SFWMD in the preparation of Work Plans in order to identify needed facilities for at least a 10-year planning period. Seacoast has provided specific documentation to governments within its service area confirming that: (1) adequate. Water supply is available; and (2) infrastructure plans necessary to serve projected need have been prepared. Page 5 of 25 Background Information Statutory History The Florida Legislature enacted bills during the 2002, 2004, 2005, 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2016 sessions to address the state’s water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005 legislative session), significantly changed Chapters 163 and 373, Florida Statutes (F.S.), by strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments. In addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between local land use planning and water supply planning. In 2005, lawmakers revised state water law, Section 373.707, F.S., and created the Water Resource Protection and Sustainability Program, which requires a higher level of water supply planning coordination between water management districts and local governments. In 2011, the Florida Legislature updated Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., the Community Planning Act (“Act”), as set forth in Section 163.3164, F.S., et seq., to address the state’s water supply needs. The Act requires each municipality and county to adopt and maintain a comprehensive plan. In Florida, all proposed and approved development in the community must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. In terms of water supply planning, information about state requirements for local government comprehensive plans is available in each regional water supply plan update. The development of these plans has assisted the SFWMD in the coordination of future water supply planning and permitting with local government land use planning. The 2012, 2015, and 2016, statutory changes clarified certain language which does not materially impact the Village. These legislative amendments have not impacted the requirement for local governments to provide an appropriate Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Update in a timely manner. Statutory Requirements Each local government must comply with the following requirements: 1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate water management district’s regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S.] 2. Ensure its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water supplies and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S.]. Data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will be available to meet projected growth demands must accompany all proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted for review. 3. Ensure adequate water supplies and facilities are available to serve new development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates issuing a certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent and consult with the applicable water supplier prior to approving building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies will be Page 6 of 25 available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the certificate of occupancy [s.163.3180 (2), F.S.], 4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the general Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element (the “Infrastructure Element”), within 18 months after the water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to: a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the local government from projects identified in the updated regional water supply plan, or the alternative project proposed by the local government under s.373.0361(7), F.S. [s. 163.3177(6)(c)(3), F.S.]; b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and the conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet current and future water use demands within the local government’s jurisdiction [s. 163.3177(6)(c)(3), F.S.]; and c. Include a water supply facility work plan for at least a 10-year planning period for constructing the public, private, and regional water supply facilities identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new development. [s.163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; 5. Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water supply, reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during the five-year period. 6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making the changes described in Paragraph 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan, the applicable District Water Management Plan, as well as applicable consumptive use permit(s). [s.163.3177 (6)(d), F.S.] If the established planning period of a comprehensive plan is greater than ten years, the plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the existing and projected water use demand for established planning period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan. [s.163.3167 (13), F.S.]; 7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making the changes described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with applicable regional water supply plans and regional water supply authorities’ plans. [s.163.3177(6)(h)1.,F.S.] 8. While an Evaluation and Appraisal Report is not required, local governments are encouraged to comprehensively evaluate, and as necessary, update comprehensive plans to reflect changes in local conditions. The evaluation could address the extent to which the local government has implemented the need to update its Work Plan, including the development of alternative water supplies, and determine whether the identified alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, and conservation and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands [s.163.3181(3), F.S.]. Page 7 of 25 Included in this section are a brief Village overview and a discussion of defined regional water issues. Page 8 of 25 Village Overview Figure 1 is a map of The Village of North Palm Beach, located in northeastern Palm Beach County. (Ref: Map 1), . Figure 1 Map of The Village of North Palm Beach Figure 1 The Village of North Palm Beach The Village of North Palm Beach is a unique water-oriented community providing a full- range of social, cultural and recreational opportunities, including the North Palm Beach Country Club and the 385-acre John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, for its residents. Incorporated in 1956, the Village's five square miles of incorporated area includes approximately two square miles of water area. Page 9 of 25 The current population of the Village according to the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 2021 5-year estimates is 13,096. The village’s population is stable with minimal future development potential. Population growth is limited by the scarcity of vacant and developable land unless annexations occur. Existing redevelopment is limited to single family and a few commercial properties. Over the next 10 years, future redevelopment along the US 1 and Northlake Boulevard corridors could bring additional commercial and mixed-use redevelopment beyond the 10-year timeline. Approaching buildout, with limited remaining developable area, the Village presently supports a resident population of approximately 12,600 and a peak-day seasonal population of an additional 1,500 part-time residents. The Village of North Palm Beach’s population increases during the Winter season, which spans from November through April. According to the ACS 2022 5-year estimate, seasonal units in the Village total 1,748. Using 1.8 persons per household as the multiplier to estimate seasonal population, the seasonal population total is 3,146. Adding this number to 13,096 makes the total seasonal population in the Village 16,242. Village marinas and waterfront parks provide boating and fishing opportunities for small crafts as well as luxury and sport fishing boats. Hundreds of docks line waterways within the Village providing access to productive fishing areas in the Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. The Village has generally restricted commercial development to the Northlake Boulevard, U.S. Highway One, and Alternate A-1-A corridors. Historically, the Village has prohibited industrial development. However, creation of an industrial future land use category, coupled with recent annexation activity, has created opportunities for industrial development in the area west of Alternate A-1-A. The Village operates under a Council/Manager form of government, consisting of five elected officials and an appointed Village Manager. A group of appointed boards whose duties include advisory and plan review functions, meet regularly to ensure careful consideration of matters relating to development, planning, recreation and administrative affairs. These board meetings, often well-attended by Village residents, provide a vital means of assuring public input into the Village decision -making process. The Village provides a full range of municipal services, including public safety (police, fire and emergency medical services), solid waste and public improvements as well as the recreational/cultural and general political and administrative services. Relevant Regional Issues South Florida regional water supply issues are identified and discussed in Chapter 5 Evaluation of Water Source Options of the 2023-2024 2013 the adopted Lower East Coast (LEC) 2023-2024 Update. The LEC Planning Area traditionally has relied on fresh groundwater from the Surficial Aquifer System, (SAS), and fresh water from Lake Page 10 of 25 Okeechobee as the primary water source for urban, agricultural, and industrial uses. In many areas of the LEC Planning Area, development of these sources has been maximized due to potential impacts on the regional system, wetlands, existing water users, and the potential for saltwater intrusion. As population and water demands increased, the development of other water source options also increased. Therefore, new or increased allocations from these freshwater sources will be reviewed on an application-by-application basis to determine if a project meets the consumptive use permitting criteria. As a result, diversification of water supply sources, such as use of the upper Floridan aquifer, increased storage, reclaimed water, and appropriate water conservation of additional storage systems, i.e. reservoirs, aquifer storage, and recovery systems has been occurring in the LEC Planning Area and is expected to continue to occur in the future. The source options are dependent on location, use type, demand, regulatory requirements, and cost. Additionally, Southeast Florida is one of the most vulnerable regions to the impacts of climate change and sea level rise as result of our flat topography, porous limestone geology, and dense coastal development. Climate change and sea level rise are expected to present significant challenges relating to water resource planning, management, and infrastructure for the counties located in South Florida, including Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Monroe counties. The primary concern to water supply is saltwater intrusion into the SAS and Biscayne aquifers, which are the primary sources of drinking water in the tri-county region. Local governments and water utilities in the Southeast Florida region have formalized the integration of water supply and climate change considerations as part of coordinated planning efforts, including updates to local government and water utility 10-year Water Supply Facility Work Plans and enhancements to local government’s Comprehensive Plans. Key considerations for communities within the four County Compact planning area include: 1) sea level rise; 2) saltwater intrusion; 3) extreme weather; and 4) infrastructure investments to support diversification and sustainability of water supply sources, and adaptive storm water and wastewater systems. Regional issues that affect the Village include minimizing pressure on the Everglades, SAS and Floridan Aquifers. To that end, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) is providing the foundation for one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in the world. The SFWMD and the US Army Corps of Engineers have partnered to restore, protect, and preserve the water resources of central and southern Florida, including the Everglades. Various projects under CERP help to ensure the proper quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of waters to the Everglades and all South Florida. The goal of CERP is to capture fresh water that now flows unused to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico to redirect the water to flow through the historic flow path down to Florida Bay. Among the issues identified, the following are the most pertinent to Village future water supply needs: freshwater withdrawal from the limited Surficial Aquifer System (SAS) resource; use of reclaimed water as an alternative source; and conservation practices as a Page 11 of 25 means to reduce per capita consumption. Page 12 of 25 Surficial Aquifer (SAS) SAS Withdrawal Fresh groundwater is the primary source of supply for potable water consumption, landscape irrigation, and industrial and commercial uses in the LEC Planning Area. In the urban areas of the LEC Planning Area, including the Village, public water suppliers (PWS) rely heavily on the SAS. The SAS produces good quality fresh water from relatively shallow wells. Local rainfall, canals, and water from the Water Conservation Areas and Everglades National Park recharge these aquifers. When sufficient water is available, surface water from Lake Okeechobee can also be routed to regional canals to maintain water levels and recharge the aquifer. However, during droughts, lower regional groundwater levels may cause inland movement of salt water. In this case, water shortage restrictions may be declared by the Governing Board of the SFWMD to conserve freshwater supplies. According to the adopted 2023-2024 LEC update, groundwater sources can meet 2045 Public Supply (PS) demands; however, increases in fresh groundwater allocations are limited to comply with resource protection criteria. Most of the 2030 regional water supply demand will continue to be met by fresh groundwater from the SAS. However, coordinated long-term plans are being implemented that consider alternative water supplies in order to match demand with availability. Discussions of current programs and plans are presented in Sections 4.0 (Water Source Identification), 5.0 Water Supply Project Identification and Section and 7.0 (Conservation Practices) of this report Use of Reclaimed Water The use of reclaimed water in the LEC Planning Area helps to reduce potential resource impacts by decreasing the reliance on traditional fresh sources, such as groundwater and surface water. Reclaimed water receives at least secondary treatment and basic disinfection and is reused after treatment at a domestic wastewater treatment facility. Reclaimed water is used for landscape irrigation (e.g., medians, residential lots, and golf courses), groundwater recharge, cooling water, and environmental enhancement. The Water Resource Implementation Rule (Chapter 62-40, F.A.C.) requires the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and water management districts to advocate and direct the use of reclaimed water as part of their water management programs. The District requires all applicants for water use permits to irrigate with more than 0.1 MGD of water and those applicants within a mandatory reuse zone to use reclaimed water if it is feasible. Reclaimed water for irrigation will continue to be an important and expanding part of future reuse in the LEC Planning Area. Additional reuse methods may be available to meet future water demands including use by water suppliers to recharge and replenish the network of canals found in Palm Beach County and reduce water deliveries from the regional water management system during the dry season. Page 13 of 25 A discussion of the status of reclaimed water use is presented in Section 7.O (Conservation Practices) of this report Implementation of Conservation Measures Water conservation is considered a water source option because it can reduce, defer, or eliminate the need for expansion of the water supply infrastructure. The District has approved the Comprehensive Water Conservation Program which consists of three initiatives: regulatory; voluntary and incentive-based; and education and marketing. The objective of the program is to achieve a measurable reduction in water use. The success of Comprehensive Water Conservation Program is subject to funding levels and voluntary participation by public water suppliers and other participating groups. A discussion of current conservation practices is presented in Section7.0 (Conservation Practices) of this report Data and Analysis Included in this section is a discussion of Village potable water supply services and needs. Potable Water Service Area and Facilities North Palm Beach does not own or operate its own potable water supply system. Rather, potable water facilities and services are provided by Seacoast Utility Authority (Seacoast). In addition to the Village, Seacoast provides potable water service to Palm Beach Gardens, Juno Beach, and Lake Park, as well as portions of unincorporated Palm Beach County. The corporate limits of the Village, within the Seacoast service area, are illustrated on Map 2. All five entities receiving services are members of the Seacoast Governing Board. All responsibilities for the withdrawal, treatment and distribution of potable water to the residents and businesses in the Village are assumed by Seacoast, including the direct billing of customers. Related to the approval of development orders, Seacoast requires developers to upgrade the capacity of existing systems, and/or build new system components to meet their needs. Upon completion, Seacoast assumes ownership, operation and maintenance responsibilities of all related systems. In the 2024-2034 adopted Water Supply Plan Update, no new water treatment plants are planned for construction in the Seacoast service area. Seacoast recently completed a 30.5 MGD membrane treatment facility allowing its two lime-softening treatment facilities (Richard Road and Hood Road) to be decommissioned. Page 14 of 25 Figure 2 Map of Seacoast Utility Authority Service Area Figure 2 Map of Seacoast Utility Authority's Service Area. Page 15 of 25 Population and Land Use Population projections for the Seacoast service area and the Village were supplied by the Palm Beach County Planning Division. Projections are presented in Table 1.

North Palm Beach population projections were most recently updated by the Village during its evaluation of proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2015- 02 (Waterclub II). During the last update (2015), P projections indicated that buildout of the Village would occur by 2020 and result in a population of 13,084 permanent residents. Based on the 2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, the population of the Village is 13,096. At this time the Village’s population is stable with opportunities for some growth from redevelopment. or 103% of the number (12,592 residents) projected by the Palm Beach County Planning Division for that same year. Due to the slight difference, and in order to maintain consistency with the Village's service provider, projections prepared by the Palm Beach County Planning Division, as presented in Table 1, are used for the purposes of projecting future Village water supply needs. An updated inventory of the Village’s existing Future Village Land use is presented in Table 2. The minimal amount of vacant land indicates that the assumption of a near-term Page 16 of 25 projected buildout of the Village is appropriate.

For planning purposes, according to the 2023-2024 LEC Update Appendix A, Seacoast currently uses an average day finished water generation rate of 188 189 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), consistent with the current system-wide usage (i.e. CUP 50-00365-W; effective to 2032)). Seacoast does not employ a non-residential generation rate; rather, all consumption (i.e. for planning purposes) is expressed on a per capita basis. Therefore, for the purposes of this analysis, the Seacoast generation rate (188 189 gpcd) is used to project Village water demands. Public Water Supply (PWS) Finished Water Supply Demand Projections Projections of finished water demand for North Palm Beach are presented in Table 3. Current (2015 2024) finished potable water demand is estimated at 2.46 2.31 mgd (i.e. resident population of 13,09612,219 residents x 188 189 gallons per capita per day), representing 13.4% of the total within the Seacoast service area. Table 3 is the projects ed that the Village's the finished potable water demand for the Village, using population projections from Table 1. (Ref: Table 1) The finished water demand will attain a level of 2.64 52 MGD by 2045 2024, or 12.6 13.02% of the total demand within the Seacoast service area.

Water Source Identification According to the adopted 2023-2024 2013 LEC Update, Seacoast currently (2015) withdraws an average of 21.76 21.88 mgd of raw water from the fresh Surficial Aquifer System (SAS) and the brackish Floridan Aquifer System (FAS). The water use permit includes an overlap in allocations from SAS and FAS sources to provide operational flexibility on a seasonal basis. Current Seacoast plans will result in the use of both the SAS and Floridan Aquifer System in the future. Projections of raw water withdrawal and finished water demand for Seacoast from the 2023-2024 2013 LEC Update are presented in Table 4. The current Seacoast Public Water Supply consumptive use permit (CUP 50- 00365-W) was renewed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) in 2012 for a 20-year period at an average-day Surficial Aquifer allocation of 22.3 MGD and Floridan Aquifer allocation of 8.9 MGD. Based on the adopted 2023-2024 LEC Update, Seacoast has an interlocal agreement with Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) to purchase up to 5.00 mgd of bulk finished water. Projections of raw water withdrawal, by expected supply component are presented in Table 5. Based upon the projections in Table 5, future withdrawal from the Surficial Aquifer should not exceed the 22.30 MGD allocation commencing in 2020 due to being supplemented by withdrawal from the Floridan Aquifer source.

Each of the wellfields has permitted average and maximum daily withdrawal rates established by CUP conditions. Each wellfield has protection zones mapped by the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). According to the current CUP, all wellfields are protected by the Palm Beach County Wellfield Protection Ordinance. Zones of protection are developed and zone requirements enforced by DERM. Water Supply Project Identification and Selection The 2013 2023-2024 LEC Update does not list any water supply development projects for Seacoast. includes one project, a Nonofiltration Concentrate Blending Facility, to be completed in 2015 at a cost of $4.5 Million. According to Seacoast, the project has been completed. Availability of Water Supply and Public Facilities The Seacoast CUP, issued by the District in September 2012 will provide adequate water supply to meet demands within its service area through the year 2032. In addition to District allocations in the CUP, Seacoast has executed a Utility Bulk Sale Agreement (June 2006) with Palm Beach County to receive up to 5 MGD of bulk potable per year. Also, Seacoast has water supply system interconnections with the Town of Jupiter (Donald Ross Road at its intersections with Alternate A-1-A and Jog Road, and U.S. 1 and Ocean Drive) and the City of Riviera Beach (Military Trail and Leo Lane) which can be utilized to supplement supply during emergencies. Conservation Practices Conservation Practices and Implementation of Conservation Measures Water conservation is considered a water source option because it can reduce, defer, or eliminate the need for expansion of the water supply infrastructure. Water conservation is the key to maintaining the health and productivity of the Surficial and Floridan Aquifers. Promoting water conservation equipment, techniques, and practices will benefit customers economically and maintain a realistic water demand picture for utilities. Protection of the aquifer system and wellfields through conservation and reuse, recharge enhancement, limitations on withdrawal, regulation of land use, and maintenance of minimum flows and levels will ensure the availability of an adequate water supply for all competing demands, maintain and enhance the functions of natural systems and preserve water quality. In accordance with Chapter 19, Article IX, of the Village Code, the Village has mandatory year-round landscape irrigation conservation measures that include hours for landscape irrigation that prohibit irrigation between the hours of 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Even numbered addresses can irrigate Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Odd numbered addresses can irrigate Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. The Village also allows low-volume irrigation, micro-irrigation, and low-volume hand watering methods, and rain barrels, cisterns and other rain harvesting devices can be used any time. A discussion of current conservation practices is presented in Section7.0 (Conservation Practices) of this report An inventory of water conservation practices implemented by public water supplier is presented in Page 23 of 25 Table 0-5 of the 2013 LEC Update Appendices. A summary of practices currently implemented by Seacoast and The Village is presented in Table 6. Some of T these practices are also regulated by the Village through their Code of Ordinances, specifically Article IX, section 200-203.

Page 1 40 VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO: Honorable Mayor and Council THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager FROM: Chad Girard, Public Works Director James Anthony, Facilities Manager DATE: June 12, 2025 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Portable Emergency Generator Purchase Village Staff is requesting Council consideration and approval of the attached quote from Genset Services, Inc. for the purchase of a 330kVA portable emergency generator. Background: The purchase of this generator is critical to maintaining power to Village facilities and assets during outages. The 330kVA unit is capable of powering key infrastructure, including the golf course water pumps – an essential function to prevent potential damage estimated in the millions if irrigation is disrupted for even a few days. In addition to supporting fixed-site operations, the generator’s mobility allows it to serve multiple Village facilities that currently lack dedicated backup power systems. Notably, it can also power the Community Center property, which may serve as a casualty collection point or aid distribution center in the event of a natural disaster. This generator is distinct in its multi-voltage capability, supporting all three of the Village’s three-phase voltage types. This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple generators to meet varying voltage requirements across Village properties. Quotes Received (*): Genset Services Inc. - $159,758.51 City Electric Supply Co. - $168,982.00 (*) Genset’s quote includes all necessary accessories for operational use. The City Electric quote covers the base unit only. Purchasing: This purchase is pursuant to pricing established in an existing Sourcewell Contract #092222-GNR Contract, which expires on November 22, 2026. Funding: Funds for this project are available in the Village’s Special Projects Fund: Account Information: Fund Department Account Number Account Description Amount Special Projects Fund Special Projects Fund Expense Q5541-66490 Machinery & Equipment $159,758.51 The attached Resolution has been prepared and/or reviewed for legal sufficiency by the Village Attorney.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TO: Honorable Mayor and Council THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney DATE: June 12, 2025 SUBJECT: WORKSHOP – Public Participation Rules and Procedures At its last meeting, the Village Council questioned the extent to which the Council could regulate public participation and decorum at Village Council meetings and whether other municipalities had adopted policies addressing such matters. As a preliminary matter, Section 286.0114, Florida Statutes, requires the Village Council to give members of the public a reasonable opportunity to be heard on a proposition before the Council, subject to rules or policies adopted by the Council. Section 286.0114(4), Florida Statutes, provides that such rules and policies are limited to those that: (a) provide guidelines regarding the amount of time an individual has to address the Council; (b) prescribe procedures for allowing representatives of groups to address the Council; (c) prescribe procedures or forms for an individual to use in order to inform the Council of a desire to be heard or indicate his or her position on a proposition before the Council; and (d) designate a specific time period for public comment. Section 286.0114, Florida Statutes, only applies to public comment on a specific proposition or item before the Village Council and does not apply to public comment on non-agenda items. Section 286.0114(2), Florida Statutes, further provides that “[t]his section does not prohibit a board or commission from maintaining orderly conduct or proper decorum in a public meeting.” Therefore, the Council is free to adopt decorum rules applicable to members of the public for both agenda and non- agenda items. Numerous court decisions have upheld the right of legislative bodies to regulate decorum at public meetings, ruling that meetings of legislative bodies are limited public forums, thereby allowing the legislative body to enact content-based restrictions on free speech so long as they are reasonable, applied in a consistent manner, and viewpoint neutral. Members of the public do not have the unrestricted right to free speech at Village Council meetings, and the Council may enact rules regulating the behavior of participants to ensure that its meets are conducted in an orderly and efficient manner. Based on the foregoing, the Village Council is free to adopt rules regulating the conduct of members of the public and determining when and how long members of the public may speak on both agenda and non-agenda items. A copy of the Town of Juno Beach’s Public Participation and Decorum Rules and Policies and General Meeting Procedures (“Rules and Policies”) is attached. This document includes decorum rules for members of the public, including a prohibition against “impertinent or slanderous comments, defined as comments that are immaterial to official Town business and which tend to impugn the reputation of the person about whom the comment is made.” The Town’s Rules and Policies further ban the use of gratuitous profanity, as well as abusive or threatening comments. The Town Council is in the process of reviewing the Rules and Policies, and, like the Village Council, is proposing to allow a limited period for Councilmembers to respond to public comments on non-agenda items once the public comment portion of the meeting has been concluded. This additional response period is intended to allow members of the Town Council to respond to personal allegations as well as provide direction to Town Staff on matters raised by members of the public. In addition to the Town of Juno Beach’s Rules and Policies, the Village Clerk compiled a number of other municipal policies that are included as back up for the Council’s consideration and review. Recommendation: Village Staff seeks Village Council discussion and direction regarding the potential adoption of public participation rules and procedures.

The presiding officer may inform the violator that any subsequent violations may result in his or her removal from the meeting. 2. Following the issue of a verbal warning, should the presiding officer determine that a rule of procedure has again been violated by the same person at the same meeting, the presiding officer may direct the violator to leave the meeting. In the event the violator is requested to leave and refuses, the presiding officer may recess the meeting and direct Town law enforcement personnel to assist. 3. Any determination by the presiding officer regarding enforcement of a rule of procedure may be overruled by a majority of the Council or Board members present at the meeting. F. General Meeting Procedures (Motions and Debate) 1. With the exception of quasi-judicial matters, items before the Council or Board shall be commenced by the presentation by a member of Staff (unless the item is initiated by a Council or Board member), followed by public comment. Once the presiding officer closes public comment, public comment shall not be reopened unless reopened by the presiding officer or by majority vote of the Council or Board. After the discussion of the item by the Board or Council, the presiding officer shall call for a motion and second on the item.
