A zoning code rooted in history but ready for the future.
A once-in-a-generation review of the Town of Palm Beach zoning code to protect this venerable historic coastal community.
“The Town’s first municipal zoning code was introduced in 1930—Zoning Ordinance Number One. A major zoning code rewrite and overhaul occurred in 1974. Its 256 pages have been piecemeal updated ever since. A significant number of piecemeal updates is a strong indication that the Town is reacting to a code that is not keeping up with an evolving community.”
Why people are saying that this code is “one of the most exceptional zoning codes ever written for any community anywhere.”
