The project comprises a master plan and proposed regulatory framework of the Nora District in West Palm Beach. The vision must support the implementation of a new compatible zoning overlay district for the study area. The project includes a narrative and exhibits intended to serve as guidelines for a new regulatory framework of the site. The project also consists of a comprehensive review of land use, zoning, and development potentials.
This regulatory framework provided the guidelines for a change in zoning and other improvements as part of an overlay district carefully calibrated with the planning department. The design team developed a unique vision for the District based on three guiding principles: Urban Development, Urban Connections, and Vibrant Places. These principles inform the creation of an attractive urban environment that connects people with places.
