3.0 Analysis Of Cumulative Impacts Of Proposed Amendment
This section provides data summaries and analysis of proposed NPBCP Amendment
05-1, 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 05-1 include a decrease
in land planned for commercial use and an increase in land planned for medium density
residential use. There is an associated increase in residential units and population potential. A
summary of the factors affecting the cumulative impacts of NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is
presented in Table 2.

The subsections that follow present a review of the 1999 Village of North Palm Beach
Comprehensive Plan, as revised, in terms of proposed NPBCP Amendment 05-1. Amendment
05-1 is presented in the APPENDIX to this document.
31 VILLAGE CHARACTER
Proposed NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is classified as a"large-scale" future Iand use map
amendment due to the fact that the maximum potential density exceeds 10 units per acre. A
summary of the key impacts of the proposed amendment is as follows:
1. Commercial land is decreased by 1.93 acres, and Medium Density Residential is
increased by 1.93 acres. Residential uses may be developed on the "Mariner
Court" (NPBCP Amendment 05-1),provided that rezoning and site plan
approvals are procured.
2. No additional Village land use categories are affected by the proposed NPBCP
Amendment 05-1.
Due to the limited amount of land (i.e. 1.93 acres) involved in NPBCP Amendment 05-1,
impacts of related growth upon infrastructure services will be minimal.
It is concluded that the proposed NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the
residential character of the Village, as described in Chapter 2 of the 1999 Village of North Palm
Beach Comprehensive Plan.
Properties included within NPBCP Amendment 05-1 are included within Village
Planning Area 3B, as illustrated on FIGURE 3-5 of the Future Land Use Element. Planning Area
maps will be revised as part of the next round of Evaluation And Appraisal Report based
comprehensive plan amendments.
3.2 FUTURE LAND USE
A. Data Summary
An analysis of topography, soils and minerals, flooding, and native vegetation in the
Village is presented in the 1999 Village of North Palm Beach Support Documentation (Future
Land Use Element). This document and supplementary data are used in the following analysis.
1. Topography: The elevation of parcels included within NPBCP Amendment 05-1
is approximately 12 feet N.G.V.D.
3-2
2. Soils and Minerals: The general soil type of properties included within NPBCP
Amendment 05-1 is Arents-Urban land complex (AU), in part, and Urban land
(Ur).
According to the Soil Survey of Palm Beach Co un (U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, 1978), urban land "... consists of areas
that are 60%to 75% covered with streets, buildings, large parking lots, shopping
centers, industrial parks, airports, and related facilities. Other areas, mostly lawns,
parks, vacant lots, and playgrounds are generally altered to such an extent that the
former soils cannot be easily recognized and are in tracts too small to be mapped
separately". Due to these characteristics, this soil type cannot be placed within
capability units to determine their suitability for development.
However, since NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is located within an area that is
predominantly developed for urban purposes, it is concluded that general soil
types do not present any limitations for development.
3. Flooding Potential: The designation of properties within NPBCP Amendment
05-1 is Flood Zone B/C. Areas within the "B"zone are generally between the
limits of the 100-year and the 500-year flood.
Flooding potential does not indicate the presence of any development limitations
for properties located within NPBCP Amendment 05-1.
4. Native Vegetation and Wildlife: The cleared status, parcel size (i.e. 1.93 acres,
respectively), as well as soil types previously discussed, indicate that there are no
significant native vegetation and/or wildlife issues to be addressed.
5. Existing Land Use Inventory: NPBCP Amendment 05-1 includes 193 acres
included in the Village's vacant land inventory. Until developed,NPBCP
Amendment 05-1 will have no effect upon the existing land use inventory. The
property included within NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is not listed on the Florida
Master Site File, or the National Register of Historic Places. The net effect of
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 upon existing land uses in the Village is shown in
Table 3.

* - 1999 Villaize of North Palm Beach Support Documentation; Future Land Use Element.
6. Current Population Estimates: By approving NPBCP Amendment 05-1, the
current population estimate of the Village is not increased. However, buildout
population potential under the proposed Medium Density Residential land use
designation is increased by 42 residents.
B. Analysis
1. Delineation of Village Planning Areas: NPBCP Amendment 05-1 will not affect
the corporate limits and the boundary of Planning Area 3B. However, the future
land use designation of the subject site will be changed from Commercial to
Medium Density Residential.
3-4
2. Existing Land Use Map Series: NPBCP Amendment 05-1 will not effect the
Existing Land Use Map Series of Planning Area 313 until it is developed.
3. Seasonal And Resident Population Projections: Resident populations were
recently updated as part of the NPBCP Amendment 02-2, as follows: 2000 -
12,837; and 2005 - 13,049. Projections assumed buildout of vacant residential
lands by the year 2005. Approval of NPBCP Amendment 05-1 will increase the
buildout population to 13,091 residents, as well as extending the buildout date to
2007.
Potential population related to NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is presented in Table 2.
It is assumed that the property will be assigned the proposed Medium Density
Residential land use designation. Therefore, the net long-term effects of the
proposed NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is an increase in population of 42 residents.
4. Vacant Land Analysis: NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is currently undeveloped.
Based upon the analysis performed in Section 3.2.A., no limitations to the
development of the property are defined.
5. Land Use Projections: It is projected that vacant land in NPBCP Amendment 05-1
will be developed for residential purposes by the year 2007.
C. Goal, Objectives And Policies
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, as amended and no text amendments are required. Most specifically, the
property included within NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is located within Village Planning Area 3B,
per Figure 3-5 of the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is not
contrary,not does it contradict any Objective or Policy of the Future Land Use Element.
3.3 TRANSPORTATION
A. Data Summary
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 will not have any significant impact upon the Village roadway
system. According to the Evaluation and Appraisal Report,all roadways within the Village are
currently operating at level-of-service"C", or better. Further,the property is currently assigned a
Commercial future land use designation. The assignment of an RM-Medium Density Residential
future land use designation will result in a reduction of potential trips generated by uses on the
property.
3-5
i
B. Analysis
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 consists of one lot (i.e, a total of 1.93 acres). The lot is
currently undeveloped. The proposed future land use designation is RM - Medium Density
Residential, with an R-2 Multiple-family Dwelling District.
A traffic analysis was prepared by Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc., comparing the traffic
potentially generated by a project under the existing Commercial future land use designation with
the proposed RM-Medium Density residential development. The results of the analysis indicates
that the proposed residential development will generate 1,971 fewer daily trips, 38 fewer AM
peak hour trips, and 180 fewer PM peak hour trips than the current Commercial future land use
designation. Based upon the analysis, the proposed development is less of an impact during the
peak hour than the site's current potential. The proposed RM-Medium Density land use
designation meets the requirements of the County's Traffic Performance Standards, in that no
significant impact is determined.
C. Goal, Objectives And Policies
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, and no text amendments are necessary.
3.4 HOUSING
A. Data Summary
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 will effect the Village's long-term inventory of housing by
adding a potential of 21 units to the planned supply. The associated proposed site plan will
further limit the development potential to 16 dwelling units. . NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is
currently vacant.
B. Analysis
The proposed future land use designation is RM-Medium Density Residential. For
planning purposes, it is therefore assumed that the site will be developed for residential purposes,
with a development potential of 21 residential units.
C. Goal, Objectives And Policies
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 has no effect upon the Housing Element, and no text
amendments are required.
3-6 Rev,: 519105
3.5 SANITARY SEWER, SOLID WASTE, DRAINAGE, POTABLE WATER AND
NATURAL GROUNDWATER AQUIFER RECHARGE
a. Data Summary
Due to the small size of the properties included in NPBCP Amendment 05-1, there will
be no significant impacts upon infrastructure services.
The property is within the service area of Seacoast Utilities Authority. Potable water and
sewer service is currently available.
Drainage facilities are currently in place along U.S. Highway No. 1 to provide service to
the NPBCP Amendment 05-1 property.
Solid waste collection will be assumed by the Village of North Palm Beach for the area
constituting NPBCP Amendment 05-1. Disposal services will be provided by the Palm Beach
County Solid Waste Authority, which has adequate capacity to serve the Village through
buildout.
b. Analysis
Central potable water and sanitary sewer service is available to serve the site. An estimate
of maximum day potable water demand to service NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is as follows: (42
persons) x (147 gallons/capita/day) = 6,174 gallons per day. Seacoast Utilities Authority has the
excess capacity to provide service. An estimate of maximum day wastewater demand to service
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is as follows: (42 persons) x (104 gallons/capita/day)=4,368 gallons
per day. Seacoast Utilities Authority has the excess capacity to provide service.
Properties within NPBCP Amendment 05-1 are not located within a designated
Protection Zone of a water treatment facility.
c. Goals, Objectives and Policies
Proposed NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste,
Drainage, Potable Water And Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge element of the
Comprehensive Plan, and no text amendments are required.
3-7
3.6 COASTAL MANAGEMENT
a. Data Summary
According to the Comprehensive Plan (Figure 3-17) and the Florida Hurricane Atlas
(11193 version), the property included within proposed NPBCP Amendment 05-1 are not located
within the defined Coastal High Hazard Area(i.e. evacuation zone for a Category 1 hurricane),
The property is located within a storm surge vulnerable zone of a Category 5 hurricane.
b. Analysis
The proposed land use for NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is discussed in Section 2.1. None
of the following are identified as issues related to NPBCP Amendment 05-1: Infrastructure
within the Coastal High Hazard Area;public access to beaches; or post-disaster redevelopment.
c. Goal, Objectives and Policies
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the Coastal Management Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, and no additional text amendments are required.
3.7 CONSERVATION
a. Data Summary
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 has limited potential to impact natural resources addressed
within the Conservation Element. The site is currently undeveloped. An inventory of resources
is presented in Section 3.2.
b. Analysis
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the Conservation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, and no additional text amendments are required.
c. Goal, Objectives and Policies
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the Conservation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, and no additional text amendments are required.

05-1 can potentially increase the population of the Village by a maximum of 42 residents.
b. Analysis
Implementation of a residential development concept on property associated with NPBCP
Amendment 05-1 will not create any additional need to develop recreation facilities. Applying
the Village's LOS standard (2 acres of neighborhood parks/1,000 residents), the proposed
amendment will generate the need for 0.082 acres of neighborhood parks.
Section 36-23 of the Villa eg Code requires the dedication of 5%of the land area of a
subdivision for public use or, at the discretion of the Village Council, a cash contribution in lieu
thereof. Funds generated from a cash contribution are to be earmarked for parks and recreation
purposes.
c. Goal, Objectives and Policies
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the Recreation and Open Space Element of
the Comprehensive Plan, and no additional text amendments are required.

4.0 CONSISTENCY WITH REGIONAL AND STATE PLANS
According to Chapter 9J-5.021, Florida Administrative Code (FAC),the comprehensive
plan must be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan and Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council Policy Plan. Chapter 9J-5.021(2), FAC states ... . . . . for the purposes of
determining consistency of the local plan with the State Comprehensive Plan or appropriate
regional policy plan the state or regional plan shall be construed as a whole and no specific goal
and policy shall be construed or applied in isolation from the other goals and policies."
4.1 REGIONAL POLICY PLAN
NPBCP Amendment 05-1 was reviewed in terms of the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council Regional Policy Plan in order to determine consistency. Based on this review,
it is determined that no significant regional issues are related to, or impacted by NPBCP
Amendment 05-1, and it is found consistent with regional goals and policies.
4.2 STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
NPBCP Amendment 05-1,was reviewed in terms of the goals, objectives and policies of
the State Comprehensive Plan, as presented in Chapter 187, Florida Statutes. Based upon this
review,it is concluded that NPBCP Amendment 05-.1 is consistent with state goals,objectives
and policies.

5.0 CONCLUSION
The following finding and recommendation are presented:
5.1 FINDING
1. Comprehensive Plan Consistency. NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with the
goals, objectives and policies of the Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan. More
specifically: (1) NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is within the Urban Service Area, and does not
contribute to a condition of urban sprawl, as defined by Chapter 93-5.006(5), Florida
Administrative Code; (2)NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is consistent with policy of the Capital
Improvements Element in that it does not contribute to a condition of public hazard, as defined
therein, does not exacerbate any existing condition of public facility capacity deficits, as
described therein, and is compatible with land uses, as shown on the Future Land Use Map
Series, as discussed in section 3, below; and(3)NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is compatible with,
and can be serviced by existing infrastructure systems.
2. Scale of Development. The development potential of NPBCP Amendment 05-1
consists of a maximum of 22 residential units. However, concurrent zoning and Mariner Court
site plan approvals propose to limit development to a maximum of 16 two-story residential
townhouses. The Comprehensive Plan currently permits a Floor-Area-Ratio (FAR) of 1.1 along
U.S. Highway No. 1 in the vicinity of the subject site, although height limitations in the CB
zoning district (2 stories) may not allow this to occur. The proposed two-story Mariner Court
community, with sixteen 2,949 sq. ft. (including a two-car garage)townhouses will result in a
FAR of 0.56 and meet existing zoning district height limitations. As a result, the scale of
development(i.e. height and bulk)is consistent with development potential under the current
future land use and zoning designations. The Village is nearly built-out, and there are no similar
sites available for infill residential development where such development is currently permitted.
3. Consistency and Compatibilily with Established Land Use Patterns. The proposed
residential future land use designation of the property included within NPBCP Amendment 05-1
is found compatible with the land uses located along the U.S. Highway No. 1 corridor.
Compatible land uses are defined as those which are consistent with each other in that they do
not create or foster undesirable health, safety or aesthetic effects arising from the direct
association of dissimilar activities, including the impacts of intensity of use, traffic, hours of
operation, aesthetics,noise, vibration, smoke, hazardous odors,radiation, and other land use
conditions.
5-1
To be compatible, it is not necessary that two uses have the same exact function (e.g.
residential, commercial, institutional, etc). Rather, compatibility is attained when the uses do not
adversely effect each other. Further,two uses whose functions are different can compliment and
support each other. For example, a residential use can help support a commercial use, and the
commercial use can provide essential goods and services to residents of the residential use..
In addition, buffering, screening, setback, height, and landscaping requirements can
further enhance compatibility, and reduce the potential negative effects of functionally different
land uses.
Land uses surrounding NPBCP Amendment 05-1 are graphically depicted on Exhibit 3.
Abutting uses include: North -Public buildings and grounds (North Palm Beach Public Safety
Department); South- Commercial (Wachovia Bank); East- Corsair Drive, followed by Low
Density Residential (Palm Beach Lake Worth Estates Plat 2); and West- U.S. Highway No. 1
followed by Commercial, in part (professional offices), and Public buildings and grounds (North
Palm Beach Village Hall). As a result of the residential subdivisions to its east, and other
residential communities in the neighborhood,NPBCP Amendment 05-1 would not create an
isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts.
A review of land use patterns in vicinity indicates that NPBCP Amendment 05-1 should
have minimal impacts upon neighboring properties. As a result, it is concluded that the approval
of NPBCP Amendment 05-1 would not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual
property owner, as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare. It is further concluded
that the proposed residential designation should not adversely affect the values of neighboring
properties.
The greatest concerns, however, are noise and hours of operation at the Public Safety
Department, located immediately to the north, as they may negatively impact residents of the
proposed Mariner Court.
According to the Public Safety Department, the Village responded to 155 calls, an
average of approximately 5 calls per day, during the month of January 2005, according to the
following distribution throughout the day:
Time Slot Calls Percent
7:00 AM - 3:00 PM 68 44
3:00 PM - 11:00 PM 58 37
11:00 PM - 7:00 AM 29 19
Totals 155 100
5-2
From the above data, 81% of the calls were between the hours of 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM.
In addition to fire/rescue calls, other activities/equipment can cause noise, including: (1) Each
Tuesday night, the Village's volunteer fire fighters practice; and(2) each week the Public Safety
Department's emergency generator is tested.
The above items have the potential to create incompatibility between the Public Safety
Department use and the proposed Mariner Court, located to its south. However, according to the
Public Safety Department, there are virtually no related complaints from residents of the single-
family subdivision located to the east of the facility. Separation distance, screening and
landscaping are cited as possible reasons for the lack of complaints. These techniques can be
used at the proposed Mariner Court to mitigate potential adverse impacts of operations at the
Public Safety Department.
4. Changed Conditions.
The issue of changed conditions justifying NPBCP Amendment 05-1 is addressed in the
Future Land Use Amendment application by Applicant's agent. A summary of the justification is
as follows:
Palm Beach County is experiencing rapid population growth, and related demand for new
housing units. However, due in part to the reduction in available residential land, new home
sales have recently declined. In part to address the issue of continued demand for new residential
units, the Florida Department of Community Affairs instituted the"Eastward Ho" initiative,
whose goal was to examine the ability of the eastern areas of South Florida to support in-fill
development and redevelopment.
The "Eastward Ho" study confirmed the ability of existing infrastructure to support in-fill
development and redevelopment in many areas of South Florida, and recommended that local
governments work to identify under-utilized areas within existing urban environments and
promote new development opportunities.
Most of the U.S. Highway No. 1 corridor in the Village has a Commercial future land use
designation. However, due to changing office and retail markets in the north County area, there
are a number of vacancies in local commercial buildings, and other properties, such as the subject
site, are under utilized.
Proposed NPBCP Amendment 05-1, with available infrastructure services, is consistent
with the "Eastward Ho" initiative and will create the following positive results: (1)Increase the
Village property tax base; (2) add to the residential support base for neighboring businesses; and
(3)provide additional housing opportunities proximate to employers located along U.S. Highway
No. 1.
