Architectural Design Guidelines

In 2022, the Village adopted the Commercial Corridor Master Plan. Appendix D of the Master Plan has Architectural Design Guidelines to provide inspiration for development's in the Village. In 2024, the Village adopted three different zoning overlays: Tequesta Drive Overlay, US Highway One Overlay, and Village Center Overlay. In each of the three zoning overlays, the architectural styles within the Architectural Design Guidelines are not mandated, but are encouraged. The code of each overlays specifically states: "Aesthetic considerations within the Village Center Overlay as set forth in the November 10, 2022 Commercial Corridor Master Plan should be incorporated into all new development and re-development in this overlay zone. Specific architectural styles are neither mandated nor banned; however, new development and re-development should strive to reflect the architectural styles listed in appendix D (architectural design guidelines) of the Commercial Corridor Master Plan.
