PLANNING AND ZONING
Comments:
42. This project requires conditional use approval ftom the Planning & X
Development Board and City Commission. If approved, staff recommends
that a period of one (I) year be allowed to initiate this project (obtain a
building permit).
43. Based on the proposed uses and respective building areas, the entire Phase VI X
project would require 2,001 parking spaces. However, only 1,804 spaces
would be provided, a deficiency of 197 parking spaces. This should be
labeled as such on the cover sheet and master plan tabular data. The number
of seats for the restaurant is limited to 1,231 seats, which in turn, is based
upon the gross floor area of the restaurant space. The applicant may submit a
shared parking analysis, which would be reviewed at the time of permitting.
The City may issue no building permits until the number of required parking
spaces is provided, the City approves the shared parking analysis, or relief is
!!ranted.
44. The project has school concurrency approval for 1,700 units but there is an X
inconsistency between the type and number of units between the School
District's approval letter and the proposed master plan's tabular data
(townhouses versus condominium). This is a minor inconsistency, so
therefore, at the time of permit review, the applicant will be required to
submit an updated School Concurrency approval letter that is consistent with
the number and types of dwelling units, approved through Phases One
throul(h Six.
45. At the time of permitting, provide detail drawings of the entry wall and sign, X
gazebos, trellis structure, fountains and clock tower. Staff recommends
installing a considerably more substantial structure at the entry drive off of
Gatewav Boulevard.
46. The square footages for Building "L" do not match between Sheet SP-I and X
Sheet A-7. Please make sure the square footages match for all building floor
plans versus the site plan and site data, and that the parking calculations
accuratelv correspond.
47. Bicvcle racks should be placed appropriatelv throu\!hout the site. X
48. The plans indicate "storage" as a potential use. However, self-storage uses X
require conditional use anUfoval.

49. Abandonment and rededication of easements must be recorded prior to X
issuance of a building vennit for the project.
50. The traffic equivalency detennination must be approved by the Palm Beach X
County Traffic Division for concurrency purposes prior to the issuance of any
building pennits (Chavter 4. Section 8.F.).
51. The usable open space plan shows that 4.55 acres would set aside as usable X
open space. However, there are certain elements of the design, such as
tenninal and landscaped parking islands that cannot be counted towards
usable open space. After discussing the pervious and impervious surfaces of
the plan, staff believes that the project still complies with code because at
least 3.62 acres of land would be set aside for usable open space. Therefore,
at the time of permitting, the applicant would be required to revise the plan to
accurately show the usable open space in order to comply with Chapter 2,
Section 6.G.4 of the Land Development ReRUlations.
52. Since the total number of seats for the restaurants is undetennined at this X
time, the parking methodology would be based on the gross floor area (49,240
square feet), which would limit the project to 1,231 seats.
53. At the time ofpennitting, on the site plan tabular data (sheet SP-I), indicate X
the proposed floor-area-ratio (excluding the garages) to ensure compliance
with Chapter 2, Section 6.G.4.
54. All elevation pages shall indicate the exterior finish, paint manufacturer's X
name, and color codes (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
55. All outdoor rreestanding monument signs shall be located at least 10 feet X
rrom the property line. If proposed near the spine road, then it must be
located at least rrom the outside of the curb along the spine road and access
road
56. At the time of pennitting, indicate by note that there will be no provision for X
outdoor patios, concrete vatios, screen enclosures, or solid-roof enclosures.
57. On the landscape plan (sheet L2 of 6), the dimension of width of the X
landscape buffer along Congress A venue and Gateway Boulevard must be at
least 25 feet in width. No vehicular encroachment may occur within these
buffers (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 3. Revise the Cross-Section of the
Congress A venue buffer (on sheet L6 of 6) to show the above requirement.
58. Fifty percent (50%) of all site landscape materials must be native species X
(Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.P). Please categorize as follows: Shade
trees, Palm trees, Shrubs & Groundcover. On the landscape plan (L6 of 6),
indicate the total Quantities for all proposed native vlant material.

59. A bus stop and shelter should be depicted on Gateway Boulevard. Its location X
should be coordinated with Palm Tran and its design should reflect the
architecture and materials used on adjacent buildings, not the standard Palm
Tran shelter.
60. Where possible, staff recommends the use of stone balustrades on the west X
elevation of Building "J" (sheet A-IO) in the same manner that they are used
on the east elevation of Building "L" (sheet A-16).
61. Staff recommends adding extra trees and plant material with the landscape X
buffers in order to help screen the parking garage openings of Buildings "K"
and "L" from Congress Avenue. This can be accomplished, in part, by
adding more trees to the public park in Phase III of Renaissance Commons.
62. The sign program, which includes the monument signs and all wall signage, X
would require Planning & Development and City Commission review and
approval. No sign pennits may be issued until the City approves the sign
program.
63. Staff recommends installing a more decorative monument "one way" sign X
within the traffic circle as opposed to the standard mount.
64. Staff recommends installing a fountain feature in the center of the Phase X
Three park.
65. Staff recommends adding benches within the 25-foot wide landscape buffers X
adjacent to the Congress A venue and Gateway Bouevard, where possible,
taking into consideration the proposed grading of the buffer.
66. Staff recommends installing the Royal Palm trees at 22 feet of gray wood X
along the south façade of Building "I" instead of the proposed 12 feet (of
gray wood).
67. Staff recommends using another variety of tree (such as Pigeon Plum or X
Dahoon Holly) in the parking lot other than Seagrape due to the leaf drop and
messy nature.
