Board approves new paint palette at Tamiyon Plaza, requires updated master sign program within six months
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Board approved SPM-02-25, allowing a new six-color exterior palette for the Tamiyon Plaza shopping center at US-1, and attached a condition that the applicant return within six months of project completion with an updated master sign program.
The Village of Tequesta Planning and Zoning Board on April 17 approved SPM-02-25, a minor site plan modification submitted by Tam West Realty, Inc., to change paint colors on existing buildings totaling about 107,597 square feet at the Tamiyon (Tamiyon/Tamiyon) Plaza on U.S. Highway 1.
Staff reviewed the site’s recent approvals and conditions. The board was told an earlier approval (SPM-04-24) required an updated master sign program within six months of completion; the current submission updates the building color palette and satisfies the earlier roof-color condition but does not itself include the updated sign program. Staff said the master sign program condition from the prior approval remains in effect and must be addressed.
The applicant presented renderings showing the current approved gray-toned palette and the proposed new, lighter palette with six colors. Staff described the change as an aesthetic-only minor site plan modification under village code Section 22-53(b), which authorizes final board approval of exterior color or finish changes when no other site elements are altered.
A member of the public, Maria, identified herself from the Country Club neighborhood and commented in favor of the new palette: "I really like the blue, and I would strongly encourage strongly encourage including the sign program as part of it." Maria urged the board and applicant to favor blue tones and to discourage backlit plastic signage.
Board members discussed whether to enforce the prior master sign program condition at this time. Some members said they wanted the prior requirement preserved: the applicant must return with an updated master sign program within six months of project completion. A board member moved to approve SPM-02-25 with that condition; the board voted in favor and the motion passed.
Staff confirmed the approved roof color will remain red and that tenant signage is typically the tenant’s responsibility; the master sign program process will guide future tenant sign changes. The transcript shows the board’s action as approval with an explicit condition that the applicant return within six months of completion with an updated master sign program.
