a) The landscaping shall consist of at least one tree for each 30 linear feet or fraction thereof. The trees
shall be located between the right-of-way line and the off-street parking or vehicular use area. Where
the depth of the perimeter landscape strip adjacent to the right-of-way exceeds 15 feet, shade trees may
be planted in clusters, but the maximum spacing shall not exceed 50 feet. The remainder of the
landscape area shall be landscaped with grass, ground cover, or other landscape treatment excluding
pavement.
b) Additionally, a hedge,wall or other durable landscape area shall be placed along the interior perimeter
of the landscape strip. If a hedge is used, it must be a minimum of two feet in height at the time of
planting and attain a minimum height of three feet above the finished grade of the adjacent vehicular
use or off-street parking area within one year of planting.
c) Multiple tier plantings are strongly encouraged for all properties, regardless of the depth of the
landscape buffer. Those properties that have a landscape buffer depth of ten feet or more shall be
required to provide an additional layer of groundcover. The groundcover shall be located directly in

provided for every 30 linear feet of such landscaped barrier or fraction thereof.
b) The provisions for perimeter landscape requirements relating to ;abutting properties shall not be
applicable where a proposed parking area or other vehicular use area abuts an existing hedge or
established tree line, the existing hedge and trees may be used to satisfy the landscape requirements
provided the existing material meets all applicable standards. The landscape strip, a minimum of five
feet in depth, however,is still required, and must be landscaped with sod or ground cover and be free
of any vehicular encroachment, including car overhang. If the existing landscaping does not meet the
standards of this article, additional landscaping shall be required as necessary to meet the standards. In
the event the landscaping provided by the adjacent property which has been used to satisfy the
landscaping requirements for the property making application is ever removed,the property heretofore
using the existing vegetation to satisfy landscaping requirements, must then install landscaping as

island for every 15 compact parking spaces.
e) The distance between parking islands can be increased up to 15 standard or 17 compact parking spaces
but the width of the parking island must be increased by one foot for each additional space (i.e. if the
distance between parking islands is 15 standard parking spaces the parking island would have to be 11
feet wide).
f) Unobstructed cross-visibility shall be maintained at all terminal landscape islands where it intersects a
right-of-way. Clear visibility shall be maintained between three feet to six feet above ground. Proper

Architectural Style
Architectural styles are graphically shown within a pattern book created to highlight a select choice of
architectural styles to provide architectural guidelines and character details for architectural themes utilized within
the development. The pattern book is proposed to ensure a cohesive complimentary design for the community.
Within the pattern book, the architectural standards address the architectural character of the development. It
specifies design principles and concepts to be used with the project. Examples of building materials, finishes,
details and signs are depicted to ensure high quality and consistent design standards. The character of the
community will be largely set though regulating the architectural character within the community. A pattern
book depicting architectural styles,themes, design elements, materials, colors, and standards is being utilized to
insure conformance with a particular style while providing alternative choices to ensure the architecture of the
overall development is diverse and interesting.
Workforce Housing shall be as follows:
1690-2350 S. Congress Avenue SAD
Residential developments must include a minimum of 10 percent Rental Workforce Housing
Units and 10 percent For Sale Workforce Housing Units consisting of moderate income
workforce units as defined by Article 4.7 Famil /Workforce Housing.
If the development contains a mix of different types of units, (e.g. condominium,townhouse,
detached, etc), the proportion of workforce units by bedroom count must be approximately
the same (within 10%) as the proportion of market rate units bybedroom count to total market
rate units regardless of type of unit.
Moderate income household.A household with a gross, combined income between 81 percent
and 140 percent of the Palm Beach County Adjusted Median Income (as defined by the Florida
Housing Finance Authority)for a 2-person household for 1 BR units,for a 3-person household

ORD.NO.30-18
For moderate income households,the maximum price shall be established by the Community
Improvement Department based on a formula that considers the prevailing mortgage interest
rates.
Performance Standards for Site Plan
The intent of the standards is to mitigate the impacts of the additional density both internal and external to the
site. The performance standards are as follows:
a) The traffic circulation system is designed to control speed and reduce volumes on the interior and exterior
street network This can be accomplished through the use of traffic calming devices; street networks
consisting of loops and short segments; multiple entrances and exits into the development; and similar
measures that are intended to minimize through traffic and keep speeds -within the development at or
below 20 m.p.h.
b) Buildings are placed throughout the development in a manner that reduces the overall massing and
provides a feeling of open space.
c) Where immediately adjacent to residential zoning districts having a lower density, building setbacks and
landscape materials along those adjacent property lines are increased beyond the required minimums in
order to provide a meaningful buffer to those lower density areas.
d) The development offers a varied streetscape and building design. For example, setbacks are staggered
and offset, with varying roof heights (for multi-family buildings, the planes of the facades are offset to
add interest and distinguish individual units). Building elevations incorporate diversity in window and
door shapes and locations; features such as balconies, arches, porches, courtyards; and design elements
such as shutters,window mullions, quoins,decorative tiles, etc.
e) A number of different unit types, sizes and floor plans are available within the development in order to
accommodate households of various ages and sizes.Multi-family housing will at a minimum have a mix
of efficiency, one,two and three bedroom units with varying floor plans. The development is designed
to preserve and enhance existing natural areas and/or water bodies.Where no such areas exist,new areas
which provide open space and native habitat are created and incorporated into the project.
The project provides a convenient and extensive multi-use bicycle/pedestrian network, and access to
available transit.
g) In the event, residential dwellings units are proposed within the commercial parcel(s), any residential
development shall be integrated within the commercial utilizing shared parking, pathways, open spaces
and architecture in such a way as to create a one viable mixed use development.
