Chapter 03-Future Land Use 3.0 FUTURE LAND USE 3.1 INTRODUCTION The Future Land Use element is required to be included within the Comprehensive Plan per requirements of state planning law and rule criteria. Specifically, Chapter 163,3177(6)(a), Florida Statutes, establishes the Future Land Use element requirement and Chapter 9J-5,006 Florida Administrative Code, establishes minimum criteria to guide its preparation. A summary of the data, analysis and support documentation necessary to form the basis for Future Land Use goal, objectives and policies is presented in Chapter 3 of the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida Comprehensive Plan Support Documentation report dated G-Gtober, 1999, Village of North Palm Beach Evaluation and Appraisal Report dated 2007, the U.S. Highway 1 Corridor Study, dated 2008 and the EAR-Based Amendment Support Documentation dated 2009. 3.2 VILLAGE GOAL STATEMENT Ensure that the current character of North Palm Beach is maintained, while allowing remaining vacant parcels to be developed and redeveloped in a manner consistent with present residential neighborhoods and commercial areas, Further, ensure that the Village remains primarily a residential community offering: (1) a full range of municipal services; (2) diversity of housing alternatives consistent with existing residential neighborhoods; (3) commercial development opportunities compatible with established location and intensity factors; and (4) a variety of recreational activities and community facilities oriented to serving the needs and desires of the Village. Various land use activities, consistent with these Village character guidelines, will be located to maximize the potential for economic benefit and the enjoyment of natural and man-made resources by residents and property owners, while minimizing potential threats to health, safety and welfare posed by hazards, nuisances, incompatible land uses and environmental degradation. 3.3 OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OBJECTIVE 1.A.: Future growth and development shall be managed through the preparation and adoption of land development regulations which: (1) coordinate future development with the appropriate natural features (i.e. topography, soil conditions, flood prone areas and natural habitats) and the availability of facilities and services; (2) prevent uses inconsistent with the Village Goal Statement and Future Land Use Map Series; (3) require the maintenance of the Village building stock; and (4) discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl-.; and prornote energy-efficient land use patterns accounting for existing and future oower, eneration and transmissions stems. 3_1 Policy I.A.I: Maintain land development regulations that shall contain specific and detailed provisions required to implement the adopted Comprehensive Plan, and which as a minimum: a.

They occur in former low emao that have been filled In Eor urban development. Slope gradients are less than two percent. 2 Quartzipsamments, Shaped -These are sandy sells that lack identifiable sol layers or fragments of identifiable |oyers, because ofreworking and shaping by each moving oquipment, Usually for urban developments. Some areas were high hdQ*a that have been excavated to lower elevations, while other areas were low and have been filled with sandy soil material to above natural ground level. Slopes range from zero *z five percent. 3 Urban Land - Urban land consist of areas that are more than seventy percent covered with shopping centers, parking lots, large buildings, stnaetm, aidewa|kn, and related facilities where the natural soil cannot be observed, Unoccupied ormau. moody |awna, parka, vacant |uto, and playgrounds consist of soils In the Arnandondo. Candler, Hague, Kendrick, 8per/. and B|ichton oedes that have been altered by cutting, ditohing, nhaping, or by having sandy filled mo$ario|a spread on the murfaoe of the mo||a to o depth o£ five 10 twelve inches, These unoccupied aeeo are too small 10 be mapped separately. Since this mapping unit has been put\ounurban related use for the foreseeable future, it is not rated for the different uses. 4 Tidal Swamp-M|oeno| -Tbeow are very poorly drained mineral soils in Udo| mangrove swamps. In m representative pmO|e, the surface layer is black mucky loamy sand about ten inches @ich, below this is thirty inches of sand. The Upper eight inches is black arid the lower two inches is very dark grayish brown. They are flooded daily 6y salt or brackish tidal water, 5 Beaches - Beaches consisio£ narrow strips of tide washed sand bordering the coast. Most areas are covered with water during storms and daily at high tide. Beaches range from o few feet to as many as five hundred feet wide. Long stretches are barren, but sparse salt tolerant plants grow in places, Depth of flooding varies with the tide.The sand in light gray ho white and consists mainly of the fine quartz particles in which there are varying amountoof coarse shell. G Palm Beaoh - Urban Lend Comp|ax - The Palm Beach series consist n2 nearly level to sloping, well 0o excessively drained oe||u on long narrow ridges parallel 0o the coast. They formed In thick beds o£ mked sand and shell marine deposits. In a representative profile, the SUrEace layer is dark grayish brown sand and shell fragments about six inches thick. Below this are layers of grayish brown and reddish yellow sand and shell fragments that extend hr depths of eighty inches or more. Slopes are predominately zero k»eight percent. 7 Canaveral - Urban Land Complex ' These are somewhat poorly and moderately well drained deep sandy sells mixed with shell fragments, They have a very dark grayish brown sand Surface and dark grayish brown subsurface layers over pale brown and very pale brown layers that have few tn many shell fragments and extend to depths of eighty inches or more.These soils occur In coastal areas arid have slopes of zero to five percent, 8 Cocoa -U,bon Land Complex' These are nearly level to s|opinQ, well drained sandy soils.They have a dark brown surface layer about six inches thick and a u1mnQ brown subsurface layer to a depth of twenty inches. Between a depth of twenty and thirty inches, it is yellowish red and red. A red loamy sand subsoil Occurs at a depth of thirty-two inches and is underlaid by limestone at thirty-eight inches. These ani|m oncur in discontinuous narrow ridges near the coast. Slopes range from zero tn eight percent, 9/11 Basinger Fine Sand, Basinger-Urban Land Comp|ox-The Basinger series consists ofpoorly drained deep sandy soils that occur in broad sloughs, poorly defined drainage ways and depressions. A representative profile has o thick very dark gray surface layer. Light gray fine 000d subsurface |aye/, and brown and light brownish gray subsoil between eighteen and thirty-six inches. Light colored fine sand extends|o below depth of sixty inches. Slopes are less than two percent. 10 Riviera-Urban Land Complex-The Riviera series consists of nearly level, poorly drained soils that occur on broad low flats arid depressed areas in the lower coastal plain. In m representative profi|e, the aurfano layer is dark grayish brown sand about Six inches thick, The subsurface layer iywhite sand about twenty-two inches thick and it tongues into the underlying grayish brown sandy clay loam Subsoil, These soils formed in unconsolidated marine sands arid|oomo. Slopes are less than two percent. SOURCE: USDA, Soil Conservation Service 3-2I Figure 3-6 Flood Zorr�s a .
