5. Communications and Announcements.
A. Planning and Zoning Report
Planning and Zoning Director Mike Rumpf reported on items the Board typically
reviews from the December 6, 2005 City Commission meeting. He informed the
Board all three items, the Nautica Master Plan Modification involving pools on zero
lot-line lots, the Forum Professional Center addition to the existing shopping center
at Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue, and the Southeast Neighborhood
Park, along the railroad tracks east of Seacrest, were all approved. The Evaluation
and Appraisal Report (EAR) was approved by resolution and shortly thereafter, staff
transmitted the report to the state and the Department of Community Affairs (DCA)
has notified the City it is proceeding with its review. The Rapido Rabbit Car Wash
Conditional Use Application was tabled by the City Commission pending further
review and a request for updated data analysis.
Mr. Rumpf pointed out the Board was provided with a brief memo from staff
regarding it's February meeting. The City Commission meeting has been scheduled
for the same day instead of the first meeting in March, so the Planning and
Development meeting will be rescheduled accordingly. He explained the Planning
and Development meeting typically goes to a corresponding Thursday. Chairman
Wische advised he had surveyed the Board and they favor the February 23rd
meeting, which falls on a Thursday.
Mr. Hay requested clarification if the motion for Item 7.A.1 also included Item 6.A.1
due to that item being postponed as well. Attorney Tolces explained the only item
that was specifically advertised for this meeting was Item 7.A.1, so there needed to
be a motion to address that specific item.
