RE: REQUEST FOR WAIVERS - QUANTUM VILLAGE AT QUANTUM
PARK (RESIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF LOTS MU 83-88, ALL OF LOT 89B)
Dear Mr. Rumpf-
Pursuant to the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances - Part III - Land Development
Regulations - Chapter 2- Zoning, Section 7- Planned Industrial Development District, and
Chapter 2, Section 11 - Supplemental Regulations, waivers are hereby requested for
Quantum Village at Quantum Park. The waivers will pertain to lots MU 83 through MU 88,
located north of Gateway Boulevard, west of High Ridge Road, and Office/Industrial Parcel
89B, located north of Gateway Boulevard, east of High Ridge Road. A Notice of Proposed
Change and Master Plan Amendment have been filed simultaneously with the City to convert
Parcel 89B from office to mixed use.
BACKGROUNDfHISTORICAL PETITION INFORMATION:
Quantum Park is a Development of Regional Impact approved in 1984. The Development
Order granted for the park has been amended since its original adoption. The amendment that
allows residential land uses within the Park is Amendment No. 10 that "simultaneously
increased the commercial intensities and decreased the office and industrial intensities. The
simultaneous increasing and decreasing of the land use intensities resulted in no additional
regional impact most notably by not increasing the total traffic generated" (Quantum Park
Annual Status Report - March 2002).
Parcels MU 83 through MU 88 have Master Plan approval that will allow development of the
proposed commercial and residential land uses. The commercial land uses will face Gateway
Boulevard and the balance of the property will be developed as townhomes. The action
required by City Council to accomplish this request is granting of the waivers outlined later in
this letter.
A master plan amendment and Notice of Proposed Change have been submitted for Parcel
89B that need to be approved prior to the granting of waivers to allow the townhomes
proposed for the parcel.
WAIVERS ~ SUPPORTING JUSIFICATION:
BeloTM is a list of the waivers and supporting justification from the City of BoyntOn Beach

Part III - Ch. 2, Section 7 - H. Design Criteria: 15. Distance between buildings: Waiver of 5 feet to
allow a reduction in the minimum distance from 25 feet to 20 feet. This waiver applies only to Parcel MU
87.
Justification: This is a residential pod that would typically be subject to the regulations contained in the
R-3 Multifamily Zoning District, which requires only a twenty-foot minimum building separation. The
twenty five foot building separation, required in the PIDD applies to industrial or commercial buildings
that are allowed by Code a greater Floor Area Ratio and building height that what is contemplated with
this two story town home development. It is also important to note that the City's code contemplated the
separation would apply to buildings being on the "same lot or parcel of land" whereas the town homes
will be fee simple ownership. The town house design presented based upon the twenty-foot separation is
typical for a residential project, and in some jurisdictions, less building separation is actually required.
Part III - Ch. 2, Section 7 H. Design Criteria: 16. District setbacks:
Waiver of 10 feet to allow a reduction in the rear yard setback from 30 feet to 20 feet. This waiver applies
only to Parcel 89B.
Justification: This waiver will apply to fourteen town homes located along the north property line of
Parcel 89B. The reduction in width is located on the rear property line in a remote area of the overall
project. This reduction is therefore the least disruptive to the design of the overall project, which provides
for greater open space and building separation in other areas of the parcel. Thc adjacent land uses already
exist and screening of the town homes from those adjacent uses has been addressed in thc landscape plan
by the provision ora wall and landscape material.
Part III _x, Ch. 2, Section 7 H. ~teria.' 17'. Periphgr-ai-gr4~abelt:
to tbet (_L__.~.~_.~ 88); w~ver of :~feet to allow a reduction in the periphe 5~
Justification: Lots MU 83, 87 and 88'are adjacent to an area that carries a non-conforming residential
zoning district although the underlying Comprehensive Plan land use designation is Industrial. The
purpose of the 40-foot buffer was to shield the residential land uses located on the west property line of
the Park from futm'e residential development. The anticipated development pattern for the Park was non-
residential; however, changes made to the DRI Master Plan now allow residential land uses within the
park reducing the potential for land use conflicts along the perimeter of the park that the forty foot buffer
requirement was supposed to address. Although the future land use designation of the parcel adjacent to
MU 83, 87 and 88 is industrial, it is questionable if the property will actually develop as such based upon
the amount of land area that remains within Quantum Park that is more readily available.
The north property line of Parcel 89B would normally require a 25 foot buffer. The reduction of the
buffer width reduce~ the potential for other waivers within the parcel, such as building setbacks or parcel
setbacks. The uses adjacent to thc park in this area have already been established and the town homes can
be adequately screened as depicted on the landscape plan.

Part III Chapter 2, Section 11 - Supplemental Regulations, H. Provision of off-street parking
spaces - No. 2
Waiver of 3 feet to allow a reduction in the minimum 12-foot width required for the first parking space
(applies to MU 83 through MU 88 and Parcel 89B)
Justification: This regulation requires the first required parking spaces that are not within a garage to be a
minimum of twelve feet m width. It is questionable if this provision should apply. The regulation states
that "for all required residential district parking spaces not within an enclosed garage, thc first parking
space shall be a minimum of twelve feet". All of the town home units have a single car garage. Therefore,
the parking space outside of the garage is technically the second space. Notwithstanding this variation, a
waiver is requested that reduces the "first space" to 9 feet m width for units that have a single car
driveway in front of the garage. The three-foot reduction allows for more open space and landscaping in
the front yard, enhancing the overall appearance of the community. The single car driveway provides
su~cient maneuvering area beCause the length of the space is twenty feet, which is two feet longer than
required by code. This allows the~ vehicle to be situated fully within the driveway, and prevents any
overhang of the vehicle into the sidewalk. Since these are private driveways, there is not turnover of
vehicles using the space. It should also be noted that a portion of the units have been designed with a 19
foot wide drive aisle and therefore the waiver will not pertain to all of the spaces.
If you have any questions regarding this request for waivers, please call me.
Best regards,
