Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page- for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation
many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to
determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each
page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column
reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up -to -date
volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has
been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the
identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in
compiling an up -to -date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

APPENDIX A-- APPEARANCE PLAN
INTRODUCTION
What we see daily in our community, consciously
and unconsciously, influences our lives.
Good. community appearance is the product of
orderly and harmonious relationships established
between man -made objects and nature. A pleas -
ing and attractive scene results from skillful
cornbinations and interrelations of these, elements
bf contrasts and similarities.
Appearance has a direct bearing on the economic
value of property. When the appearance of public
areas, business establishments, and the residen-
tial community is good, shoppers, businessmen,
and home owners are all attracted to the commu-
nity.
Poor appearance, congestion, and lack of proper
maintenance bring about blight, decay, decreased
property values, and loss of revenues.
New bu.ilding programs, along with improvement
and. preservation of the existing, are necessary in
order to maintain good community appearance.
Expanded building programs and land develop-
ments have greatly reduced. open spaces in our
towns —an awareness of the importance of good,
design and land use has resulted. Government
bodies and private agencies are seeking ways to
revitalize our cities and towns. The recogi-iition of
this need to protect the distinctive character of

AREAS OF PARTICULAR NOTE AND THEIR
ADDED REQUIREMENTS
The following is a list of natural and man -made
areas and thoroughfares of particular note with
their descriptions and added requirements.
OCEAN LEACH AND STATE ROAD 703
The existence of the ocean on our east imparts
more directional and esthetic influence than
any other natural attribute. We should main-
tain an awareness of it in the development of
the community. It is felt that it is essential to
maintain and develop physical and. visual con-
tact with it through vistas, overlooks, adjacent
roads and access parts. The ridge between
State Road 703 and the beach should be pre-
served as it provides a natural barrier between
traffic and the beach, and defines the beach as
an entity in .itself. State Road 703 is a north -
south highway between the Intracoastal Water-
way and the ocean traversing the length of
North Palm Beach. It is the only .man -made
artery where the true character of the coastal
community can be experienced in its fullness.
Its variance in elevation allows unparalleled
views of the ocean and of the sloping terrain to
the Intracoastal Waterway. The natural topog-
raphy of the slope as well as the ocean ridge
' APPENDIX A— APPEARANCE PLAN
C l_
must be preserved. The natural landscape ad-
jacent to this artery is all but destroyed in
other South Florida communities. This land-
scape must be fully considered and preserved
to the greatest extent in development, and
because openness both to the east and west
must be maintained, buildings shall be de-
signed and sites planned in such a manner as
to allow maximum visual contact

use of drought tolerant plants, mulches and ap-
propriate maintenance results in reduced water
consumption but still provides a very wide range
of attractive landscaping alternatives.

use, may be established upon written application
to the community development director for a
special use permit.
(b) In evaluating an application for a special
use permit for the establishment of a similar use,
the community development director shall, in

sider the characteristics of the proposed use,
including, but not limited to, size, intensity, den-
sity, operating hours, demands for public facili-
ties, traffic impacts and business practices.
(c) Upon review and evaluation of the applica-
tion, the community development director shall
present his or her recommendation to the village
council for final consideration on the next avail-
able council agenda.

tested by the village clerk, and bearing the seal of
the village under the following words: "This is to
certify that this is the official zoning map referred
to in section 3 of Ordinance No. 20 of the Village
of North Palm Beach, Florida, as amended," to-
gether with the date of the adoption of this
ordinance.
(3) Changes.
(a) If, in accordance with the provisions of
this ordinance changes are made in dis-
trict boundaries or other matter por-
trayed on the official zoning map, such

(4) Location; final authority. Regardless of the
existence of purported copies of the official zoning
map which may, from time to time, be made or
published, the official zoning map which shall be
located in the office of the village clerk shall be
the final authority as to the current zoning status
of land and water areas, buildings, and other

(5) Damaged; destroyed, etc. In the event that
the official zoning map becomes damaged, de-
stroyed, lost or difficult to interpret because of the
nature or number of changes and additions, the
village council may, by resolution, adopt a new
official zoning map which shall supersede the
prior official zoning map. The new official zoning
map may correct drafting or other errors or omis-
sions in the prior official zoning map, but no such

original official zoning map or any subsequent
amendment thereto. The new official zoning map
shall be identified by the signature of the mayor
attested by the village clerk and bearing the seal
of the village under the following words: "This is
to certify that this official zoning map supersedes
and replaces the official zoning map adopted (date

Beach, Florida."
Unless the prior official zoning map has been
lost, or has been totally destroyed, the prior map
or any significant parts thereof remaining shall
be preserved, together with all available records
pertaining to its adoption or amendment. Each
replacement official zoning 'map shall be num-
bered in consecutive order as adopted.

of the map as to the location of such
boundaries.
Sec. 45 -19. Buildings and uses to conform to
district regulations.
Except as hereinafter provided:
A. No building shall be erected, reconstructed
or structurally altered, nor shall any build -

lines shall be construed to be such bound- council in adopting this section is to establish

§ 45 -20 NOIM -1 PALM BEACH CODE l
entertainment industry that will protect the health,
safety, property values, and general welfare of the
people, businesses, and industries of the Village
of North Palm Beach. It is not the intent of the
Village Council to legislate with respect to mat-
ters of obscenity. These matters are regulated by
federal and state law, including Chapter 847 of
the Florida Statutes. It is not the intent of the
Village Council in adopting this section to con-
done distribution of obscene materials.
This section is intended to provide for the
proper location of adult entertainment establish-
ments in the C -1 Neighborhood Commercial Dis-
trict and to protect the integrity of adjacent
neighborhoods, educational institutions, religious
institutions, parks and other commercial enter-
prises. Proper separation of adult entertainment
establishments prevents the creation of "skid -
row" areas in the village which results from the
concentration of these establishments and their
patrons. It is the intent to limit the secondary
effects of adult entertainment establishments as
set out in the findings of fact contained within the
Palm Beach County "Adult Entertainment Code,"
Ordinance No. 88 -31.
The locational restrictions contained in this
section should not be construed as to apply only to
those residential zoning districts, religious insti-
tutions, educational institutions, parks and other
commercial enterprises which cater to or are
attended by persons under eighteen (18) years of
age. The restrictions within this section are also
intended to ensure that residential zoning dis-
tricts, educational institutions, religious institu-
tions, parks and other commercial enterprises are
located in areas free from the secondary effects of
adult entertainment establishments.
The location of residential zones, educational
institutions, religious institutions, parks and other
commercial enterprises within viable, unblighted
and desirable areas support the preservation of
property values and promote the health, safety
and welfare of the public at large.
(2) Findings of fact. Based on the evidence and
testimony presented at first reading and public
hearing, the Village Council of the Village of
North Palm Beach reaffirms the findings of fact
contained within the Palm Beach County Adult
Entertainment Code and on the findings incorpo-
rated in the United States Attorney General's
Commission on Pornography (1986): "A Summary
of a National Survey of Real Estate Appraisers
Regarding the Effect of Adult Bookstores on Prop-
erty Values," conducted by the Division of Plan-
ning, Department of Metropolitan Development,
City of Indianapolis, January 1984; the "Study of
the Effects of Concentration of Adult Entertain-
ment Establishments in the City of Los Angeles, "
conducted by the Planning Committee for the Los
Angeles City Council, June 1977; the study con-
ducted by the City of Austin, Texas; the Metropol-
itan Bureau of Investigation (MBI) for the Ninth
Judicial Circuit (Orlando area); and information
from Tampa, Florida, detailing the effects of adult
entertainment establishments in the Tampa area.
In addition to the foregoing recitals, the village
council further finds that:
(a) The possession, display, exhibition, distri-
bution and sale of books, magazines, mo-
tion pictures, prints, photographs, period-
icals, records, novelties and devices which
depict, illustrate, describe or relate to
"specific anatomical areas" or "specified
sexual activities" as the terms are defined
herein are business activities that exist or
may exist within the village.
(b) Businesses where employees including
dancers and entertainers perform or are
presented while displaying or exposing
"specified anatomical areas" as that term
is defined herein exist or may exist within
the village.
(c) Where the activities described in para-
graphs (a) and (b) above are present, the
experience of many other communities
indicate that illegal activities tend to oc-
cur including, but not limited to, prostitu-
tion, pandering, solicitation for prostitu-
tion, lewd and lascivious behavior, exposure
of minors to harmful materials, the pos-
session, distribution and transportation
of obscene materials and of controlled
substances.
The village council further finds there is a
direct relationship between the display or expos-
ing of specified anatomical areas and an increase
Supp. No. 41. 2486.2
APPENDIX C— ZONING § 45 -20
in criminal activities, moral degradation and dis-
turbances of the peace and good order of the
community and the concurrences of these activi-
ties is hazardous to the health and safety of those
persons in attendance and tends to depreciate the
value of adjoining property and harm the eco-
nomic welfare of the community as a whole. These
secondary effects are adverse to the public's inter-
est and quality of life, tone of commerce and total
community environment in the Village of North
Palm Beach.
The combination of the sale or consumption of
alcoholic beverages with the display or exposing
of specified anatomical areas is adverse to the
public's interest and quality of life, tone of com-
merce and total community environment in the
Village of North Palm Beach.

(5) Measurement of distance. The distance from
a proposed or existing adult entertainment estab-
lishment to a pre- existing adult entertainment
establishment, a pre - existing religious institu-
tion, to Zoning District P, public district, a pre-
existing religious institution, a pre - existing edu-
cational institution, child care facility, family day

a residential planned unit development of
five (5) or more acres, an added degree of
flexibility in the placement and interrela-
tionship of the buildings and uses within
the planned unit development, together
with the implementation of new design
concepts. At the same time the intensity
of land use, density of population and
amounts of light, air, access and required

ARTICLE VII. NONCONFORIMNG USES
OF LAND AND STRUCTURES
Sec. 45 -60. Intent.
(1) Within the districts established by this
ordinance, or amendments that may later be
adopted, there exist lots, structures, uses of land
and structures and characteristics of use which
were lawful before this ordinance was passed or
amended, but which would be prohibited, regu-
lated, or restricted under the terms of this ordi-
nance or future amendments.
(2) It is the intent of this ordinance to permit
these nonconformities to continue until they are
removed, but not to encourage their continuation.
Such uses are declared by this ordinance to be
incompatible with permitted uses in the district
involved. It is further the intent of this ordinance
that nonconformities shall not be enlarged upon,
expanded or extended, nor be used as grounds for
adding other structures or uses prohibited else-
where in the same district.
(Ord. No. 12 -75, § 1, 9- 11 -75)
Sec. 45 -61. Extension and enlargement.
(1) A nonconforming use of a structure, a non-
conforming use of land, or a nonconforming use of
structure and land shall not be extended or en-
larged after passage of this ordinance by attach-
ment on a building or premises of additional signs
intended to be seen from off the premises, or by
the addition of other uses of a nature which would
be prohibited generally in the district involved.
(2) To avoid undue hardship, nothing in this
ordinance shall be deemed to require a change in
the plans, construction, or designated use of any
building on which actual construction was law -
fully begun prior to the effective date of adoption
or amendment of this ordinance and upon which
actual building construction has been diligently
carried on. Actual construction is hereby defined
to include the placing of construction materials in
permanent position and fastened in a permanent
manner. Except that where demolition or removal
of an existing building has been substantially

begun preparatory to rebuilding, such demolition
or removal shall be deemed to be actual construc-
tion, provided that work shall be diligently car-
ried on until completion of the building involved.
(Ord. No. 12 -75, § 1, 9- 11 -75)
Sec. 45 -62. Nonconforming lots of record.
(1) In any district in which single - family dwell-
ings are permitted, notwithstanding limitations
imposed by other provisions of this ordinance, a
single - family dwelling and customary accessory
buildings may be erected on any single lot of

L
record at the effective date of adoption or amend-
ment of this ordinance. Such lot must be in
separate ownership and not of continuous front-
age with other lots in the same ownership. This
provision shall apply even though such lot fails to
meet the requirements for area or width, or both,
that are generally applicable in the district, pro-
vided that yard dimensions and other require-
ments not involving area or width, or both, of the
lot shall conform to the regulations for the district
in which such lot is located. Variance of area,
width, or yard requirements shall be obtained
only through action of the board of adjustment.
(2) If two (2) or more lots or combinations of
lots and portions of lots with continuous frontage
in angle [single] ownership are of record at the
time of passage or amendment of this ordinance,
and if all or part of the lots do not meet the
requirements for lot width and area as estab-
lished by this ordinance, the lands involved shall
be considered to be an undivided parcel for the
purposes of this ordinance, and no portion of said
parcel shall be used or sold which does not meet
lot width and area requirements established by
this ordinance, nor shall any division of the parcel
*be made which leaves remaining any lot with
width or area below the requirements in this
ordinance.
(Ord. No. 12 -75, § 1, 9- 11 -75)
Sec. 45 -63. Nonconforming uses of land.
Where, at the effective date of adoption or
amendment of this ordinance, lawful use of land
exists that is made no longer permissible under
the terms of this ordinance as enacted or amended,
and where such use involves no individual struc-
ture with a replacement cost exceeding one thou-
sand dollars ($1,000.00), such use may be contin-
ued, so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject
to the following provisions:
(1) No such nonconforming use shall be en-
larged or increased, nor extended to oc-
cupy a greater area of land than was
occupied at the effective date of adoption
or amendment of this ordinance; unless
such use is changed to a use permitted in
the district in which such use is located;
Supp. No. 22
2517
(2) No such nonconforming use shall be moved
in whole or in part to any other portion of
the lot or parcel occupied by such use at
the effective date of adoption or amend-
ment of this ordinance;
°(3) If any such 'nonconforming use of land
ceases for any reason for a period of more
than ninety (90) consecutive days, any
subsequent use of such land shall conform
to the regulations specified by this ordi-
nance for the district in which such land
is located;
(4) No additional structure which does not
conform to the requirements of this ordi-
nance shall be erected in connection with
such nonconforming use of land.
(Ord. No. 12 -75, § 1, 9- 11 -75)
Sec. 45 -64. Nonconforming structures.
Where a lawful structure exists at the effective
date of adoption or amendment of this ordinance
that could not be built under the terms of this
ordinance by reason of restrictions on area, lot
coverage, height, yards or other characteristics of
the structure or its location on the lot, such
structure may be continued so long as it remains
otherwise lawful subject to the following provi-
sions:
(1) No such structure may be enlarged or
altered in a way which increases its non -
conformity, but any structure or portion
thereof may be altered to decrease its
nonconformity;
(2) Should such structure be destroyed by
any means to an extent of more than fifty
(50) percent of its replacement cost at
time of destruction, as determined by the
village engineer or village building offi-
cial, it shall not be reconstructed except in
conformity with the provisions of this
ordinance;
(3) Should such structure be moved for any
reason for any distance whatever, it shall
thereafter conform to the regulations of
the district in which it is located after it is
moved.

Sec. 45 -65. Nonconforming uses of struc-
tures or of structures and pre -
mises in combination.
(1) If a lawful use involving individual struc-
tures with a replacement cost of one thousand
dollars ($1,000.00) or more, or of structure and
premises in combination, exists at the effective
date of adoption or amendment of this ordinance,
that would not be allowed in the district under the
terms of this ordinance, the lawful use may be
continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful,
subject to the following provisions:
(a) No existing structure devoted to a use not
permitted by this ordinance in the district
in which it is located shall be enlarged,
extended, constructed, reconstructed,
moved or structurally altered except in
changing the use of the structure to a use
permitted in the district in which it is
located;
(b) Any nonconforming use may be extended
throughout any parts of a building which
were manifestly arranged or designed for
such use at the time of adoption or amend-
ment of this ordinance, but no such use
shall be extended to occupy any land
outside such building;
(c) Any structure, or structure and land in
combination, in or on which a nonconform-
ing use is superseded by a permitted use,
shall thereafter conform to the regula-
tions for the district in which such struc-
ture is located, and the nonconforming
use may not thereafter be resumed;
(d) When a nonconforming use of a structure,
or structure and premises in combination,
is discontinued or abandoned for six (6)
consecutive months or for eighteen (18)
months during any three -year period (ex-
cept when government action impedes
access to the premises), the structure, or
structure and premises in combination,
shall not thereafter be used except in
conformance with the regulations of the
district in which it is located;
(e) Where nonconforming use status applies
to a structure and premises in combina-
tion, removal or destruction of the struc-
ture shall eliminate the nonconforming
status of the land. Destruction for the
purpose of this subsection is defined as
damage to an extent of more than fifty
(50) percent of the .replacement cost at
time of destruction.
(2) Nonconformities not involving the use of a
principal structure, e.g., open storage, building
supplies, vehicle, mobile home, implement and
machinery storage, signs, billboards, junkyards,
commercial animal yards and the like, shall be
discontinued within two (2) years of the effective
date of this ordinance or amendment.
(Ord. No. 12 -75, § 1, 9- 11 -75)
Sec. 45 -66. Repairs and maintenance.
(1) On any building devoted in whole or in part
to any nonconforming use, work may be done in
any period of twelve (12) consecutive months on
ordinary repairs, or on repair or replacement of
nonbearing walls, fixtures, wiring or plumbing, to
an extent not exceeding ten (10) percent of the
current replacement value of the building, pro-
vided that the cubic content of the building as it
existed at the time of passage or amendment of
this ordinance shall not be increased.
(2) Nothing in this ordinance shall be deemed
to prevent the strengthening or restoring to a safe
condition of any building or part thereof declared
to be unsafe by any official charged with protect-
ing the public safety, upon order of such official.
(Ord. No. 12 -75, § 1, 9- 11 -75)
Sec. 45 -67. Temporary uses.
The casual, intermittent, temporary or illegal
use of land or structures shall not be sufficient to
establish the existence of a nonconforming use.

this ordinance unless it complies with the terms
of this ordinance.
