Consultants present draft 'pattern book' as visual guide to preserve Juno Beach character
Summary
Kimley Horn consultants told the Planning & Zoning Board the pattern book packages Juno Beach's established styles into a visual guide for applicants and staff; consultants emphasized checklists, imagery, and objective scoring to reduce subjectivity.
Consultants from Kimley Horn presented the draft architectural design guideline, describing it as a working visual tool to help staff, the planning board and residents understand how the town's existing architectural styles should be applied. "This is your town," consultant Reuben Cruz told the board, urging input so the final product reflects community values.
Bobby Boone, also with Kimley Horn, said the draft separates architectural guidance from development code items such as lighting and floor‑area‑ratio (FAR) and recommended objective checklists and an evidence‑based scoring system to make reviews defensible. "We don't want to see Frankensteins," Boone said, arguing for limits on permissive hybrids and clearer imagery for commercial and multifamily buildings. Staff said the consultants will update the draft to include additional commercial renderings and checklist refinements before returning to the board.
