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.
