Please be advised that the purpose of this public workshop is to inform and receive comments
from PZAB members and residents. At this workshop, Future Land Use, Transportation and
Housing Elements will be presented. Staff has reviewed each element, researched each subject
and proposed a sustainable comprehensive plan supporting the City’s efforts to “Going Green”
and “celebrate quality-of-life by fostering an environment of excellence”. As part of this
proactive process, the community needs to be informed, involved and inspired to be a central
part of the adopted Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting input and comments from PZAB on the proposed EAR-based Comprehensive
Plan amendments. We want to thank you in advance for taking the time to read this material and
providing us with your comments.
Please notice that each Element includes an Executive Summary outlining the main proposed
initiatives, and recommended studies and actions. All proposed changes are highlighted in
yellow, underline means new languageL and &Aw%egh means removing language from the -- existing Comprehensive Plan.
EAR BASED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Future Land Use Element Overview
The existing Future Land Use Element has one general goal that includes a wide range of provisions. Staff
incorporated the existing definitions of land use categories into the Goals, Objectives and Policies, and organized the
Element into three distinct Goals. Goal 1 is existing, and it focuses on the City's utilization of the future land use
category system, which is now incorporated not as definitions but as policies. The rewritten Goal 1 also enforces
land use compatibility and provides descriptions for transitioning land uses. Goal 2 is proposed by staff, and it
focuses on the promotion of consistent objectives and policies for development and redevelopment activities,
including incentives to encourage Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Green Building
initiatives. Goal 3 is also proposed by staff, and it focuses on policies which promote a livable and sustainable
community for the future needs of our residents, including the preparation of a Transit Oriented Development
(TOD) overlay.
The following initiatives are part of the proposed Future Land Use Element:
0
0
0
Maintain compatible land uses which consider the intensities and densities of land use activities, their
relationship to surrounding properties and the proper transition of uses.
Maintain land development regulations containing standards and provisions to encourage the elimination or
reduction of uses inconsistent with the City's character and future land uses.
Issue development orders and permits for development or redevelopment activities only if the protection of
natural resources is ensured and consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Conservation,
Infkstmcture and Coastal Management Elements of this Comprehensive Plan
Issue development orders and permits for development and redevelopment only in those areas where
suitable topography and soil conditions exist to support such development.
Issue development orders and permits for development and redevelopment activities only in areas where
public facilities necessary to meet level of service standards (which are adopted as part of the Capital
Improvements Element of this Comprehensive Plan) are available concurrent with the impacts of
development.
Direct future growth, development and redevelopment to areas as depicted on the Future Land Use Map,
consistent with: sound planning principles; minimal natural limitations; the goals, objectives, and policies
contained within this Comprehensive Plan; and the desired community character.
Expand the City's economic base by promoting commercial and industrial activities as planned and
illustrated on the Future Land Use Map, and by ensuring adequate sites and timely provision of public
utilities and services to stimulate such growth.
Improve coordination with affected and appropriate governments and agencies to maximize their input into
the planning and development process and mitigate potential adverse impacts of future development and
redevelopment activities.
In coordination with the Northlake Boulevard Corridor Task Force, pursue various means to encourage
improvement, enhancement, renovation or redevelopment of the older properties along Northlake
Boulevard, east of Military Trail, and thereby arrest a decline in the quality of land uses and the consequent
negative impact on taxable values and the overall aesthetic appearance of the corridor.
Maintain a Bioscience Research Protection Overlay (BRPO) for the purpose of promoting Bioscience Uses
and deterring the conversion of those uses to commercial or residential uses.
Adopt a Transit Oriented Development Zoning Overlay (TODO) for the purpose of promoting the location
of a rail station in the City and providing sustainable development that encourages multi-modal transit.
Adopt and maintain land development regulations that are aimed at eliminating barriers toward the
certification by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), US Green Building Council
(USGBC), or any comparable certification organizations, as well as providing incentives for building
certified buildings or sites.
Incorporate a Sustainable Development Goal in the City's vision update process, including the future vision
for the area outside of the Urban Growth Boundary.

1.11 Density Reduction Land Use Overlay: A portion of the area commonly
refmed to as TAZ 848, generally located north of PGA Boulevard, east of the Loxahatchee
Slough and west of the SUA wastewater treatment plant, is the subject of a land use overlay.
The density within this Overlay is reduced by fifty percent from the underlying land use
designation’s potential density. This density reduction is necessitated by the environmental
constraints of the property and potential roadway capacity deficiencies. The result of the density
reduction is a gross density potential of two dwelling units per acre. Development within the
Overlay shall be concentrated to the least sensitive areas and shall be supported by public
facilities. No bonus density is applicable in this Overlay area. While a variety of uses and use
densitiedintensities may be approved as part of a residential PCD, the overall impact of the
densityhntensity shall not exceed that generated by a gross density of two dwelling units per
acre. Other requirements and regulations of the Palm Beach Gardens Code of Ordinances and
Comprehensive Plan are applicable where not in conflict with the provisions of this Overlay.
In addition to presenting the Future Land use categories described above, the Future Land Use
Map also includes two transportation components. The Transportation Element of this
Comprehensive Plan provides further details on these components.
Bioscience Research Protection Overlay (BRPO): The area designated on the
Future Land Use Map includes land that has been determined to be appropriate to accommodate
Bioscience Uses, as well as other intellectual knowledge-based industry sectors. “Bioscience
Uses ” means those land uses that support scientific and biotechnological research, including
theoretical and applied research in all the sciences, as well as product development and testing.
Bioscience Uses shall include engineering, legal, manufacturing, and marketing uses which
support such research. Bioscience Uses shall also include laboratories, educational facilities, and
clinical research hospitals. Office uses, limited support uses, and retail uses accessory to
scientific research and development, and workforce residential uses which support such research
shall be considered Bioscience Uses. City Council shall have the discretion to approve uses that
support sustainability or uses that provide supportive or secondary services that are determined
to promote the creation of the cluster, which shall be considered accessory uses, including, but
not limited to, conferencehotel facilities, transit uses, or residential uses that provide a
workforce or attainable component.

arterials
corridor
1 Parkway (0000): The Parkway designation is shown along some of the major
within the City. The intent of the Parkway designation is to identify and preserve a
of between 300 and 400 feet within which the arterial roadway can occur along with
bikeways, pedestrian paths, native vegetative greenways, linear parks, and landscaping. The
parkway cross-section will provide an aesthetically pleasing buffer between highly traveled
arterials and surrounding residential areas, as well as a safe byway for alternative modes of
transportation. The Parkway System has been designated as an urban component of the Florida
Greenway System. It is described in more detail in the Conservation and Transportation
Elements.
One major objective of designating Parkways is to eliminate the perceived need of using strip
commercial as a buffer between arterials and residential areas. Therefore, the Parkway concept
is integrated into the philosophy of designating commercial and employment areas at
intersections or "nodes", eliminating the need for strip commercial use.

a Planned Community District (PCD) which shall implement the following concepts: fi
developed under one master plan that includes different land use types at several different
levels of intensity. Collector roads and development "pods" are shown as part of the
master development plan. Supporting documentation is also included which describes
the development intensities assigned to each pod and any restrictions in use or site design
requirements. The pods are then developed as individual site plans.
b. Although a variety of uses and use intensities may be approved as part of a residential
PCD, the overall density must be consistent with the underlying Future Land Use
designation of the area. For the purposes of this Comprehensive Plan, the City Council
may approve 4 densities for areas
developed as PCDs:
ionus density totaling up 1 the following
I
Residential Low (RL): Up to 5.0 units per gross acre.
Residential Medium (RM): Up to 9.0 units per gross acre.
Residential High (RH): Up to 12.0 units per gross acre.
c. In addition to the above, PCDs with an underlying Future Land Use designation of RH
may have densities permitted up to 15.0 units per gross acre, based on one additional unit
of density allowed for every 10% of native ecological habitat put into a preserve within
the PCD up to a maximum of 15.0 units per gross acre. These preserve areas would be
over and above the minimum preservation and open space areas provided in accordance
with standard PCD requirements, and must ,be incorporated into the Parkway system.
In addition to the above, PCDs with an underlying Future Land Use designation of RH
may have densities permitted up to 15.0 dwelling units per gross acre for the provision of
affordable housing, as defined in this Plan. Parcels within PCDs may be eligible for a
density bonus for Assisted Living Facilities pursuant to Policy 3.1.4.6., except in Coastal

for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) technique which shall implement the following
concepts:
a. The intent of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) is to ensure the desired character of the
community is furthered or enhanced on development sites within the City, particularly on
sites where the development proposed is rather intense. Master plans for Planned Unit
Developments include, at a minimum, site plans showing all local roads and landscaping
plans. Supporting documentation is also to be included which indicates, at a minimum,
development phasing and a list of permitted uses for commercial and industrial PUDs.
1: In exchange, for the extra review requirements imposed by the PUD process, developers
may propose plans that would not otherwise be permitted under by-right zoning districts.
These may include a mixture of uses not found within any of the by-right zoning districts
and/or density bonuses and/or waivers to non-residential intensities described previously.
For the purposes of this Comprehensive Plan, the City Council may approve the
following bonus densities for areas developed as Planned Unit Developments:
Residential Low (RL): Up to 5.0 units per gross acre.
Residential Medium (RM): Up to 9.0 units per gross acre.
Residential High (RH): Up to 12.0 units per gross acre.
c. In addition to the above, PUDs with an underlying Future Land Use designation of RH
may have densities permitted up to 15.0 dwelling units per gross acre for the provision of
affordable housing, as defined in this Plan. PUDs may be eligible for a density bonus for
Assisted Living Facilities pursuant to Policy 3.1.4.6., except in Coastal High Hazard
Areas that are the Category 1 Hurricane Evacuation Zones.

With City Council approval of a density bonus, the overall density of PCDs or PUDs in
this area shall not exceed: 5.0 units per gross acre for those areas designated as RL; 9.0
units per gross acre for those areas designated RM; and 12 units per gross acre for those
areas designated RH.
In addition to the above, PCDs with an underlying Future Land Use designation of RH
may have densities permitted up to 15.0 units per acre if significantly large areas (10% or
more) of native ecological habitats, in addition to the otherwise required open space and
preserves, are preserved within the PCD. One additional unit of density may be allowed
for each 10% of habitat which is preserved, up to a maximum of 15.0 units per acre.
These preserve areas would be over and above the minimum preservation and open space
areas provided in accordance with standard PCD requirements, and must be linked to the
Parkway system.
Up to 3% of the gross land area of a residential PCD or PUD may be developed for
commercial or office use. However, these uses shall be restricted to neighborhood
commercial uses as they are defined in the City's least intensive commercial zoning
district.
Up to 5% of the gross land area of a residential PCD may be developed for commercial
or office use if significantly large areas (10% or more) of native ecological habitats are

Policy 5,4,tss The City shall maintain planned development area (PDA)
zoning to all undeveloped non-conservation for which a development plan has not been approved
by the City. The PDA zoning shall apply to all properties over 10 acres in size and in the urban
area, shall be regarded a "holding zone" until development of the said properties is requested
pursuant to the comprehensive plan. At the time of the rezoning of the land from PDA to PUD
or PCD, the underlying land use shall guide the intensity and type of development. All proposed
development shall be of character wnsintent with the urban or rural distinctions established by
the Urban Growth Boundary I I The permitted uses, in the urban
area, under the PDA district shall include single-family residences at the density of one dwelling
unit per ten acres, public parks and recreation facilities, and as conditional uses agriculture and
institutional uses such as churches and fire stations. Permitted uses in the rural area shall
include single-family residences at a density consistent with the Future Land Use designation (1
ddl0 ac or 1 dd20ac), agriculture and public safety facilities. Agricultural uses shall not be
permitted in environmentally sensitive preservation areas. Development within PDA shall be
clustered and, in the urban area, shall be supported by potable water, sanitary sewer and adequate
roadway facilities. Septic tanks shall be prohibited in the urban area in the PDA except for an
individual single-family residence, however, in the rural area, septic tanks are the standard.
Uses in the rural area shall receive services consistent with the adopted level of service
standards. The rezoning of PDA to PUD or PCD shall occur only when the applicable urban and
rural services and facilities necessary to support the intensity of such development will be in
place concurrent with the impacts of the development. The extension of public facilities into
areas zoned PDA shall be consistent with the urban and rural level of service standards,
maximize the use of existing facilities and services, encourage compact urban development and
discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl. Concurrent with rezoning to PCDEUD, any uses
not permitted by the underlying land use category shall cease consistent with the phasing plan of

are defined as lots, structures, and uses of land and structures that were lawful before the
adoption or amendment of a regulation, but which would be prohibited, regulated or restricted
under the terms of the regulation or future amendment. However, if the nonconforming use is a
multifamily residential project of more than 250 units, the City Council may permit an increase
in the number of rooms or square footage of individual residential units, provided that the
maximum density of the affected land-use is not exceeded and conformity with the current Land
Development Regulations will be required.

TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Transportation Element Overview
The existing Transportation Element has one general Goal that includes a wide range of provisions. Staff is
proposing to add two additional goals. Goal 2 focuses on provisions for a balanced transportation system, and
incorporates policies to encourage roadway, bicycle and pedestrian linkages. Goal 3 focuses on provisions for mass
transit and recognizes the direct link between public transit, land use patterns, workforce housing and economic
development. Staff included initiatives that are recommended to promote a balanced transportation system and
support sustainable economic growth.
The following initiatives are part of the proposed Transportation Element:
0
M&tain adopted level of service (LOS) standards on the City’s traffic circulation system.
Encourage strategies which reduce demand on the City’s traffic circulation system and alleviate street
traffic congestion.
Maintain a sustainable transportation system through the adoption of a frnancially feasible Capital
Improvement Program.
Establish a network of streets that provide multiple routes for intra community trips and alternate routes for
external travel.
Maintain and revise where necessary, the land development regulations for the provision of motorized and
non-motorized transportation.
Maintain land development regulations which set requirements for safety and aesthetics in the
transportation system.
Continue coordinating transportation planning with the future land uses shown on the Future Land Use
Map of this plan, the FDOT Five Year Transportation Plan, plans of neighboring jurisdictions, and Palm
Beach County transportation and future land use plans.
Continue to plan for and provide transportation facilities encouraging various modes of transportation.
Accordingly, the City adopts and incorporates into the Conceptual Thoroughfare Plan map and the Future
Land Use Map Series the City Center Linkages Plan for the City Center area.
Encourage the use of public transit, bicycle, and pedestrian paths within City boundaries and in conjunction
with surrounding municipalities through use of the Parkway System and support the proposed multi-modal
overlay.
Coordinate with the Metropolitan Planning Organization, Palm Beach County, Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council, Palm Tran, other local transit service providers and local municipalities in regard to the
City’s transit initiatives.
Promote sustainable growth, the City recognizes the direct link between public transit, land use, workforce
housing, and economic development. :. I

unduly burdened by providing more than its fair share of roadway capacity.
Policy The hierarchy of City streets and their functions shall be as follows:
City Collectors - (example Burns Road) collect and distribute traffic from neighborhood
to neighborhood throughout the City and provide back-up routes to the County
thoroughfare system, may be greater than two lane and are always public, unless
designated a private road pursuant to a PUD or PCD approval prior to the
construction of the road. The goal is to have a network sufficient to maintain
these roads at no more than four lanes.
Neighborhood Collectors - (example Holly Drive) collect and distribute traffic within a
Planned Unit Development or from limited access subdivisions, will be

HOUSING ELEMENT - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Housing Element Overview
The existing Housing Element has one general Goal that includes a wide range of provisions. Staff is proposing to add a
second Goal to group all those provisions related to affordable and workforce housing. Under this new Goal we also included
definitions, and initiatives that are recommended to promote a balanced community and support sustainable economic
growth. Recent Florida legislation (HB1363, and HB1375) provides definitions and incentives available to local governments
to support affordable and workforce housing efforts.
"Housing is most Americans' largest expense. Decent and affordable housing has a demonstrable impact on family stability
and the lfe outcomes of children. Decent housing is an indispensable building block of healthy neighborhoods, and this
shapes the quality of lfe ... 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 of Housing Studies of Harvard University.
