Boynton Commerce Center Planned Industrial Development
Use List Revisions Request to Allow an Air Conditioning Installation & Repair
Business, with Associated Truck Parking
Our File No. 02-030.06
Dear Mr. Rumpf~
At your direction, and subsequent to verbal and written communications, this letter shall serve as a
request for use approval to allow an air conditioning installation and repair business, with truck
parking, to locate within the building currently under construction on Lot 3B within the Boynton
Commerce Center.
The use being proposed is an air conditioning and heating business which does new installations,
replacements and repair of residential and commercial a/c units. The use is proposed to occupy a bay
totaling 3,162 square feet, being comprised of an office consisting of 600 square feet and
warehouse/shop area consisting of the remainder. The business has four standard size commercial
vans and one small size box truck. One of the vans is the owner's and is taken home each night, as
typically are at least two (2) additional vans. However, the business owner would like the ability to
park any number of the vehicles on the site overnight unrestricted, as is allowed for similar uses in
other Planned Industrial Parks within the City.
The current use list allows contractor shops and storage under the Operations Center, which requires
an increase office component. However, it specifically prohibits track parking. I would like to offer
that the use being proposed in not a'contractor', but a trade. A contractor is defined as a person or
firm that contracts to build things, while a trade involves the performance of skilled work. I have
attached a print out fi.om the Skilled Trades website (www. skiledtrades, com) which lists construction
and industrial trade categories. The list includes various trades, such as electrician, floor covering
installer, glazier and metal mechanic, painter, plumber, refrigeration and ak-conditioning mechanic,
sprinkler and fire protection installer, etc. A review of the approved use list will reveal that many of
these uses are allowed under Section I.C. 1.

The use requested is allowed in the M-1 zoning district/industrial land use category throughout the
City and fits very well into a 'flex type' building such as the one being constructed on Lot 3.
Actually, the current attached use list under Section I.C.1. already allows the uses as listed in Section
8.A.l.c.(7). of the Boynton Beach Zoning Code. Section 8.A.I.c. heading describes storage,
distribution and wholesale uses allowed and item (7) specifically allows:
(7) Heating, cooling, ventilating, refrigeration, solar energy, water conditioning and heating
systems and equipment, and major appliances, including retail sales.
It is important to note that many of the approved uses under Section LC.l,. have an 'installation'
component involved in the operation, as that is the nature of the businesses. For example, under
Section 8.A. 1.c.(4), many of the building materials listed, such as shades, shutters, blinds, awnings,
carpeting, tile, etc., would offer installation as part of their business.
Conversations with the potential user also support the presumption that the proposed use is a
warehouse/distribution use allowed under the current use list. The majority of the square footage is
being proposed for a warehouse area where supplies will be stored prior to being taken to job sites.
Thus, both the warehouse and distn'bution aspects are being performed by the business. Warehouse
and distribution uses are allowed in the PID with no restrictions related to tmek parking associated
with those uses.
Based upon the above justification, I would like to respectfully request that you reconsider the
requirement that a use list revision would be required in order to allow this business to locate within
the PID. It seems to follow that, if the use is considered allowed under the warehouse/distribution
list and is considered a trade rather than a contractor it would, therefore, have no restrictions on truck
~mtrking_. Again, other warehouse/distribution uses allowed in the PID do not have restrictions on
truck parking.
If it is determined that a use list revision is required, I would be proposing to simply add the use of
"Air Conditioning, Heating and Cooling Warehouse, Distribution and Installation" under Section
I.C. 1. (see attached list). This would be in addition to the use being listed under the aforementioned
item (7). I believe the addition at this section ofthe use list will make any concerns regarding truck
parking for contractors null and void.
Please be aware that the attached list takes into account the current request to allow a dance studio
on Lot 3B. That request will be heard prior to this application and I can revise the list if necessary
after action has been taking on that item.
