Palm Beach County Subdivision and Infrastructure Considerations
Subdivision and infrastructure site work in Palm Beach County requires specialized coordination and planning:
- Development Permits: Projects involving development work as described in Florida Statute 380.04 require a development permit prior to the issuance of a building permit. This is a critical prerequisite for subdivision infrastructure work, including utilities, roads, drainage systems, and other site improvements in Palm Beach County.
- Building Division Permits: Subdivision developments require Building Division permits from Palm Beach County Building Division. Building permits must be obtained before beginning construction, and the Building Division reviews plans to ensure compliance with the Florida Building Code and Palm Beach County requirements.
- Environmental Resources Management (ERM): Subdivision developments may require Environmental Resources Management (ERM) review for projects affecting wetlands, protected species, or environmentally sensitive areas. ERM ensures that proposed subdivision developments comply with the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) and environmental protection requirements.
- Phased Development: Large subdivisions in Palm Beach County are typically developed in phases. We coordinate site work to align with development phases, ensuring infrastructure is ready for each phase while maintaining access and minimizing disruption.
- SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits: Subdivision development requires SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits for activities affecting state waters and wetlands, including stormwater management systems, retention ponds, and drainage infrastructure. As of June 28, 2024, new water quality performance standards were implemented.
- Unified Land Development Code (ULDC): Palm Beach County's Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) regulates environmental activities and enforces requirements for development in environmentally sensitive areas, including flood zones and stormwater management systems. Subdivision developments must comply with these requirements.
- Stormwater Management: Subdivisions in Palm Beach County require comprehensive stormwater management systems including retention ponds, swales, and drainage infrastructure. Our contractors design and install systems to meet SFWMD Environmental Resource Permit requirements and Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) standards.
- High Water Table: Palm Beach County's high water table requires specialized dewatering techniques and foundation design for subdivision infrastructure, with SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits required for dewatering activities affecting state waters.
- Flood Zone Compliance: Many subdivision sites in Palm Beach County are in FEMA flood zones requiring specific elevation requirements and Base Flood Elevation (BFE) compliance for roads, drainage systems, and building pads.
- Utility Coordination: Subdivision development requires coordination with multiple utility companies for water, sewer, electrical, gas, and telecommunications throughout Palm Beach County. We coordinate utility installation to minimize conflicts and ensure proper sequencing.
- Permit Processing: Palm Beach County permit processing times vary based on project complexity and Environmental Resources Management (ERM) review requirements. Building Division and ERM review can add time to projects. We coordinate permit applications to minimize delays.
