1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Village of North Palm Beach is currently considering the
adoption of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment consisting of: (1 )_
An amendment to the Future Land Use Map Series; and (2) an
amendment to Comprehensive Plan text. This document provides
data and analyses required by Sections 9J-5 and 9J-11.006(1)(b)
1. - 5., Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), as they pertain
to the proposed amendment.
Proposed NPBCP Amendment 96-3 is necessary to incorporate the
following Village actions within the Comprehensive Plan: (1)
An annexation undertaken during July, 1996; and (2) repeal of
the original Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance and
approval of a revised PUD. ordinance related to the project
known as "Prosperity Harbor North".
The annexation action (Ordinance 24-96) added 2.29 acres of
additional land to "Prosperity Harbor North", while the revised
PUD approval (Ordinance No. 31-96) incorporated the additional
land area resulting from the annexation and increased the
overall number of approved dwelling units from a total of 98
to a total of 129; a net increase of 31 dwelling units'.
The location of proposed NPBCP Amendment 96-3 is illustrated
• on EXHIBIT 1 and described in TABLE.1, as follows:
TABLE 1
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED NPBCP AMENDMENT 96-3
Name: Prosperity Harbor North.

3.0 ANALYSIS OF CUMULATIVE IMPACTS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT
• This Section provides data summaries and analyses of NPBCP
Amendment 96-3, pursuant to the requirements of Section
9J-11.006(3), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), which states
that all comprehensive plan amendments must meet the requirements
of Section 9J-5, F.A.C.
Factors affecting the cumulative impacts of NPBCP Amendment
96-3 include an increase in acres, dwelling units and potential
population resulting from revisions to the proposed Prosperity
Harbor North PUD. The cumulative impacts, in terms of the
above factors, were previously fixed by NPBCP Amendment 92-1.2.
A comparison of the previously fixed impact factors, with those
resulting from proposed NPBCP Amendment 96-3 is presented in
TABLE 2, below:

The subsections that follow present a review of the 1989 Village
of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan in terms of proposed
NPBCP Amendment 96-3. Actual amendments 96-3.1, 96-3.2 and
96-3.3 are presented in ATTACHMENT A.
Since NPBCP Amendments 96-3.1 - 96-3.3 all relate to a contiguous
property under one ownership and a single development concept
(Prosperity Harbor North PUD), impacts will be assessed as a
• unit, as opposed to individually. The impact factors presented
in TABLE 2 are used as the basis.for the assessment.
3-1
3.1 VILLAGE CHARACTER
• Proposed NPBCP Amendment 96-3 constitutes the first calendar-
year revision to the 1989 Village of North Palm Beach
Comprehensive Plan, as amended. The Amendment consists of the
incorporation of a recent 2.29 acre annexation, as well as an
increase in the number of approved dwelling units within the
Prosperity Harbor North PUD (Note: The PUD revisions are
contingent upon the approval of NPBCP Amendment 96.3).
The cumulative effects, as summarized in TABLE 2, include the
expansion of the corporate area of the Village by 2.29 acres,
as well as increasing the residential buildout potential by
31 dwelling units. (Note: Residential development in the
Prosperity Harbor North had been previously limited to 98
dwelling units by Special Policy 5.8 of the Future Land Use
Element, which was enacted by NPBCP Amendment 92-1.2).
NPBCP 96-3 is located in Planning
Farms Road and the Intracoastal

A. Data Summary
Area 6A, between Prosperity

North PUD, is to develop a
oriented to utilizing the
Che development is consistent
f the Village along the Lake
th-Palm Beach Waterway.
An analysis of topography, soils and minerals, flooding, and
native vegetation in the Village is presented in the 1989 Village
of North Palm Beach Support Documentation. This document and
supplementary data prepared for the Evaluation And Appraisal
Report (EAR), as well as that which was prepared for the
Prosperity Harbor North PUD approval, are used in the following
analysis.
1. Topography: The approximate elevation of the
subject property ranges from 5 to 10 feet N.G.V.D.
2. Soils And' Minerals: The general soil type of
the subject property is predominantly Arents-Urban Land Complex,
with occurrences of Tidal Swamp (mineral) and Quartzipsamments
(shaped) along the Intracoastal Waterway. All of the property
is currently undeveloped. The Soil Survey of Palm Beach County,
Florida (1978) describes the soils as follows:
Arents-Urban Land Complex - Consists of " .. golf courses,
subdivisions, condominium developments, roadways, businesses
• or industrial areas, reclaimed borrow pits and other areas filled
over but not yet developed."
3-2
Quartzipsamments - Consists of " nearly level to gently
• sloping, well drained, deep, sandy soils in areas where natural
soils have been altered by cutting down ridges and spreading
the soil material over adjacent lower soils, by filling low
areas above natural ground level, and by filling low areas above
natural ground level...".
Tidal Swamp - Consists of ". nearly level, very poorly
drained, sandy material that supports a dense growth of mangrove
trees. It consists of sandy marine sediments that are flooded
by salt or brackish water during daily high tides".
3. Flooding Potential:
for the subject property is A5.
the A5-A7 Zones is 7 feet, 9 inchi
Development Regulations require a
feet, thus providing additional
flooding.

4. Native Vegetation And Wildlife: An environmental
assessment was prepared for Prosperity Harbor "North during
April, 1995 through June, 1996 by CZR, inc. (CZR) of Jupiter,
Florida: CZR biologists completed a total of approximately
195 man-hours (on this site and another site located. to the
south) performing wildlife surveys, biological sampling, wetland
. delineations, submerged resource surveys, vegetative mapping
and water quality sampling. The vegetation inventory map,
excerpted from CZR's final report is included as EXHIBIT 4.
Uplands are the dominant habitat type on the property and can
be characterized as forested and non-forested disturbed uplands
and oak hammocks. Wetlands on the site are mostly exotic
infested tidal mangrove systems.
Upland Habitats - The majority of the site has been
disturbed by the placement of spoil material from the historic
dredging of the North Palm Beach Waterway and Intracoastal
Waterways. There are two types of disturbed habitats on-site;
non-forested and forested. The non-forested areas are
characterized by remnant spoil piles and low grasses and weeds
less than one foot in height. The forested habitats are heavily
infested with exotic vegetation. The dominant species are
Brazilian pepper and Australian pine. The oak hammock
communities support both live oaks and laurel oaks, as well
as scattered strangler figs, jambolan plums, Brazilian pepper,
Australian pines, cabbage palms and wild muscadine.
Wetland Habitats - The wetland is a tidal
mangrove/Brazilian pepper community occurring along an excavated
channel dug in historic freshwater wetlands that drains the
• low lying areas. The excavated ditch has allowed tidally born
mangrove seeds to become established and grow. The excavated

ditch has resulted in the conversion to a mangrove wetland system
comprised of black, white and a few scattered red mangroves.
The tidal wetland system is of extremely poor quality due to
inadequate tidal connections and the resultant invasion of
Brazilian pepper. The areal coverage of Brazilian pepper is
estimated at 90~, with the remaining 10~ comprised of mangrove
species. Ground cover vegetation occurs only at the extreme
west end of the system and is comprised of scattered sea oxeye,
cinnamon fern and leather fern.
Wildlife usage of the property is limited due to the historic
disturbance of native habitats resulting from spoil disposal
and the heavy invasion of exotic vegetation throughout the
site. Of the 18 potentially occurring wildlife species, none
were identified as present and nesting on the site.
Upland and wetland habitats which will be preserved as a result
of implementing the Prosperity Harbor North PUD will be greatly
enhanced by the removal of exotic vegetation. The removal of
these species and maintenance of the areas will allow the return
of native vegetation and" the associated wildlife which use such
habitats.
5. Existing Land ,Use Inventory: NPBCP Amendment
96-3 includes 2.29 acres (Amendment 96-3.3) recently annexed
into the Village. The annexed parcel is not listed on the
• Florida Master Site File or National Register of Historic Places.
The net effect of NPBCP 96-3 is to increase the Village's
inventory of vacant land by 2.29 acres.
6. Current Population Estimate: NPBCP Amendment
96-3 will not increase the. curr2nt population level of the
Village.
B. Analysis
1. Delineation of Village Planning Areas: NPBCP
96-3 will affect the corporate limits and the boundary of
Planning Area 6A by the addition of the area addressed by
Amendment 96-3.3.
2. Existing Land Use Map Series: NPBCP 96-3 will
affect the Existing Land Use Map of Planning Area 6A by the
addition of the vacant land area addressed by Amendment 96-3.3.
3. Seasonal And Resident Population Projections:
NPBCP Amendment 96-3 will affect the population projections
by the addition of 66 residents by the year 2000. Population
projections were recently updated as part of the Village's E.A.R
process, as follows: Year 2000 - 12,833 residents; and 2005
- - 12,833 residents. Buildout of the Village was assumed during
the 1995-2000 period. The addition of 66 residents resulting
3-5
from NPBCP Amendment 96-3 will increase population projections
• to the following levels: Year 2000 - 12,899 residents; and
2005 12,899 residents. NPBCP Amendment 96-3 will have no
effect upon the assumption of when buildout will occur.

3-9
The land area within NPBCP Amendment 96-3 is currently
undeveloped and specific drainage plans have not been completed.
The Village has adopted land development regulations (LDRs)
to assure that adequate drainage facilities are constructed
and that related environmental issues are addressed. Pertinent
LDRs that will be applied to NPBCP Amendment 96-3 during the
design and construction phases include:
1. LOS standard - Facilities must accommodate a .3-year
frequency, 29-hour duration design storm rainfall event, as
defined by the South Florida Water Management District;
2. Legal positive outfall - Facilities must have access
and connection to a point of legal positive outfall;
3. Flood hazard reports - Projects within flood hazard
zones will be required to calculate flow protection elevations
to assure safety from the regulatory flood;
9. Post-development runoff criteria - Post-development
runoff rates., volumes and pollutant loads shall not exceed pre-
development levels, as defined by Chapters 90E-9, 90E-40 and/or
40E-91, Florida Administrative Code;
5. Water quality - Landscaped areas, grassed areas, or
other natural vegetated areas shall be provided to receive runoff
from buildings or other impervious areas to absorb or percolate
associated pollutants;
6. Retention systems - Where these systems are required,
design shall include water and habitat quality enhancement
features; and
7. Construction practices - Construction sits Best
Management Practices (BMPs) shall be employed to minimize surface
water pollution during development and construction.
The application of the above LDRs will insure that the
development of NPBCP Amendment 96-3 will be completed in a manner
consistent with the Comprehensive Plana
No impacts upon natural groundwater aquifer recharge in the
Village are anticipated as a result of NPBCP Amendment 96-3
for the following reasons: (1) Septic tank and individual
well installations within new developments in the defined Urban
Service Area are expressly prohibited by the Comprehensive Plan;
and (2) the subject site is not located within Wellfield Zones
1, 2 or 3, as defined. by the Palm Beach County Wellfield
Protection Ordinance.
•
3-10
C. Goal, Objectives and Policies
• NPBCP Amendment 96-3 is consistent with the Sanitary Sewer,
Solid waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater
Aquifer Recharge Element of the Comprehensive Plan, as amended,

3.6 COASTAL MANAGEMENT
A. Data Summary
NPBCP Amendment 96-3 has direct access to tidal waters of the
Intracoastal Waterway, and thus is considered to have potential
impacts upon the coastal area.
The subject site has been identified as containing mangroves;
however, the related environmental assessment study (Ref: page
3-3) concluded that the quality of the mangroves is extremely
poor. Further, the study concluded that wetland and upland
habitat preservation areas, per the approved PUD, will result
in enhancement of native species and removal of exotic species.
The related Prosperity Harbor North PUD will include common
boat slips reserved exclusively for the use of property owners.
As a result, it will not be included in the inventory of Marinas
and Boating Facilities in TABLE 7-1 (page 7-6) of the Support
• Documentation, although it will be noted as a water-related
land use.
B. Analysis
The Coastal Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan includes
a discussion of the land use, natural resources, estuarine
pollution, natural disaster planning (hurricane evacuation and
post-disaster redevelopment), beach and dune systems, public
access and infrastructure in the coastal zone.
The proposed land use for NPBCP Amendment 96-3 is discussed
in Section 3.2. A discussion of natural resources, including
the identification of mangroves, is also presented in Section
3.2. No water-related resources are identified. None of the
following are identified as issues related to NPBCP Amendment
96-3: Infrastructure within the coastal high-hazard area; public
access to beaches or post-disaster redevelopment concerns.
C. Goal, Objectives and Policies
NPBCP Amendment 96-3 is consistent with the Coastal Management
Element of the Comprehensive Plan, as amended, and no additional
text amendments are proposed.
3-17
3.7 CONSERVATION
• A. Data Summary
NPBCP Amendment 96-3 has the potential to impact natural
resources or issues addressed in the Conservation Element.
A detailed inventory of resources is presented in Section 3.2.
Further, a private marina with direct access to the Intracoastal
Waterway is proposed as part of the related Prosperity •Harbor
North PUD.
B. Analysis
The Conservation Element contains a discussion of natural
resources, the estuarine system, wetlands, wildlife habitats,
soils, hazardous waste concerns and water needs in the Village.
The land uses proposed in NPBCP Amendment 96-3 are similar in
type and impact to existing development in the Village. NPBCP
Amendment 96-3 includes proposed common boat slips and their
incorporation into the Village should not impact existing
estuarine conditions. Impacts to the estuarine system, wetlands
and wildlife habitats will be further addressed by 'federal,
state and local agencies prior to development.
Soil characteristics do not preclude development of NPBCP
• Amendment 96-3, nor does it impact hazardous waste disposal
or significantly affect water needs in the Village.
C. Goal, Objectives and Policies
NPBCP Amendment 96-3 is consistent with the Conservation Element
of the Comprehensive Plan, as amended, and no additional text
amendments are proposed.
