<br />1) TITLE AND LOCATION (County) (2) YEAR COMPLETED
<br />WEST PALM BEACH TACTICAL URBANISM PERMITTING PLAN
<br />West Palm Beach, FL
<br />PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONSTRUCTION (if applicable)
<br />2020 n/a
<br />3) BRIEF DESCRIPTION (Brief scope, size, cost, etc.) AND SPECIFIC ROLE Check if project performed with current firm
<br />The West Palm Beach DDA has been building temporary uses to activate downtown including pop-ups to fill vacant lots, street games,
<br />seating and shade. But they cannot be easily built because the City lacks a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) process. Instead, the DDA
<br />permits the projects with standard building permits which are more stringent and intended for permanent structures. A TUP process
<br />would provide a more efficient and effective method for reviewing and approving these temporary projects and support the DDA’s
<br />activation projects. The DDA engaged MHCP COLAB to draft a strategy to craft the TUP in partnership with a working group of City
<br />staff. Recommendations included (1) drafting a new ordinance, (2) referencing the ordinance in the current downtown code and (3)
<br />creating an application checklist for better transparency and to facilitate a clearer review process for applicants and reviewers
