The Downtown Master Plan is part of the ongoing history of West Palm Beach. It is intended to reinforce historical design concepts and propose new actions for supporting City traditions. The DMP was prepared for a downtown experiencing the typical decline of the small American City during the 1970s and 1980s. The Downtown population was diminishing and shopping was displaced to the suburbs. Despite these conditions, in 1994 the City clearly identified rebuilding the downtown area as a goal.
Intent: All downtown development is subject to the provisions of the Downtown Master Plan (DMP) and urban code to ensure that all new buildings contribute to the urban life of the city. The intent of the DMP urban regulations is to create a sustainable downtown with an enhanced quality of life by creating a zoning code which is reflective of the downtown's 13 districts and their different characteristics. These urban regulations enable flexible building design by encouraging a variety of uses, heights, and forms. The urban regulations describe maximum development allowances. The DMP urban regulations are organized according to five hierarchical groupings: (a) general development standards; (b) planning areas; (c) districts; (d) subdistricts; and (e) incentive regulations. In the event of a conflict, the most detailed regulation for the subdistrict shall take precedence.
These urban regulations enable flexible building design by encouraging a variety of uses, heights, and forms. The urban regulations describe maximum development allowances. The ability to maximize these allowances, however, may depend on a number of factors including but not limited to:
a.
Other regulations of the Code of Ordinances.
b.
The physical characteristics of any particular development site.
