The city of West Palm Beach, Florida partnered with enCodePlus in 2020 to improve accessibility to their planning and zoning regulations. Their Development Service Code Portal contains Chapter 18, Building regulations, and Chapter 94, Zoning and Land Development Regulations, of the Code of Ordinances. Both chapters benefit from standard enCodePlus features, including hyperlinked internal cross-references, pop-up definitions, and a search page. Archives also allow users to view previous versions of the chapters, created each time a new ordinance is published using the Codification/Recodification Wizard.
One of the premium features of the portal is a Development Calculator for parking regulations, which planners can use to estimate the number of parking spaces needed for a new development project. In addition, a Land Use Lookup lists the zoning districts where a specific use is permitted and links to the Zoning Map for a visual reference.
West Palm Beach staff are easily able to keep their Development Services chapters updated with the latest amendments using enCodePlus’ CloudWriter and Codification/Recodification Wizard.
Professional services to audit, amend, update or rewrite zoning and land development regulations.
Customizable calculator for on-the-fly computing of total parking space quantities for cars, trucks and bicycles.
GIS map of districts where specific land uses are permitted by-right or by condition or special exception.
