PLANNIW " ZONiNG Ii' Justification Statement Lake Worth Christian School Approval of a Major Site Plan Modification and Conditional Use Submitted April 25, 2007 Resubmitted June 5, 2007 On behalf of the Petitioner, Land Design South of Florida, Inc. requests the following: · Approval of a Maior Site Plan Modification to add a 10.300 SQuare foot elementary school (150 Children). 15.000 sQuare foot aeneral use buildina. and a 6.000 SQuare foot athletic complex · Conditional Use approval of a 9.255 SQuare foot Earlv Childhood Development Center that will include 140 children Property History and Site Characteristics The subject site is located on the east side of High Ridge Road, approximately one-half mile east of Hypoluxo Road. The site is currently an existing private school that includes grades Pre-kindergarten through 12. The development has previously gone through several amendments and site plan modifications. The subject property is 16.23 acres (706,979 square feet) in size. Currently, the subject site contains a Zoning designation of R1-AA Residential and a Future Land Use designation of Public and Private Governmental/Institution (PPGI). Interstate 95 bounds the site to the east, and High Ridge Road bounds the subject site to the west. To the north of the subject site is Unincorporated Palm Beach County with a Zoning Designation of Single Family Residential (RS Palm Beach County) and a Future Land Use designation of Low Residential 2 units per acre (LR2 Palm Beach County). To the south of the subject property is Cedar Ridge PUD, a multifamily and single-family residential development. Nature of Proposed Project Site Plan Modification As mentioned, there is an existing private school currently on the subject property. The applicant is proposing a site plan modification to expand the existing school campus to include a two-story, 19,555 square foot building providing for an Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) on the first floor and elementary school on the second floor. In addition, the applicant is proposing the addition of a 15,000 square foot general use building, and a 6,000 square foot athletic complex. The general use building and athletic complex will be accessory uses to the school complex. At this time the applicant is requesting approval of the locations and square footages of the general use and athletic complex buildings. As these two uses are proposed to be constructed during a later phase of the project, the applicant will provide the architectural footprints and elevations for these two buildings with a separate application to receive approval prior to their construction. Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances - Chapter 4 - Site Plan Review The existing school complex is requesting expansion to help better serve the ever-growing population. Lake Worth Christian School Page 1 June 5, 2007 EXHIBIT C The proposed project features an abundance of landscape, which compliments the proposed building and provides open space for the school complex. Some of the key design elements of the attached site plan are as follows: · 29 additional parking spaces have been provided to meet parking requirements; · A total of 79 extra spaces provided on site; · All other areas that are not in the proposed site plan modification area will not be maintained; · Inclusion of playground areas for the Early Childhood Development and Elementary School; · A 158' building setback is proposed from the north property line, as well as a 74' building setback from the south property line; · Existing landscape buffers will be maintained on site; · A 5' wall is proposed on the east and north of the proposed Early Childhood Development Center playground area with a lush landscape located on the exterior of the wall; · 7 drop off spaces have been provided for the Early Childhood Development Center; · A covered patio is located adjacent to the proposed elementary school/ECDC building providing a shaded area adjacent to the proposed playground; · A large open space to the north of the softball field. · Handicap parking requirements are met for the entire site; · Architectural footprints and elevations are included for the proposed elementary school and ECDC building. Footprints and elevations for the athletic complex and general use building will be provided with a later application submittal. · The landscape around the building exceeds requirements to provide a lush landscape and compliment the building and architectural features. . Chapter 4 Section 7 of the Boynton Beach Ordinance contains submission requirements for site plan applications. The site plan for the proposed development has been prepared in accordance with these requirements and satisfies the Code. Chapter 4 Section 8 contains standards for review and evaluation of all required plans. These standards and an assessment of the proposal are as follows: A. Natural Environment - The subject site is sparsely vegetated other than what has been approved by recent modifications, having partly been cleared for the development in the past. As such the proposal will not result in the removal of any significant vegetation. The proposal will incorporate a detailed landscape design that will enhance the built form on the site, create an attractive outlook from existing and proposed buildings, and enhance functional recreation spaces. B. Open Space - The proposed development provided several areas of open space including two playground areas, athletic fields including soccer, baseball, and softball as well as a track. In addition, the area to the north of the softball field is designated as open space. C. Circulation and Parking - The proposed development has been designed to comply with the City's traffic circulation and vehicular parking requirements. D. Community Services - The proposed modification does not prevent the proposed development from being serviced by Boynton Beach police and fire department. E. Buildings and Other Structures - The proposed development has been designed to incorporate with the existing neighborhood while also providing a functional school campus and amenities to future students and users. Internally, this has been achieved by providing play areas and landscaping areas to buffer the surrounding developments, separating vehicular and pedestrian Lake Worth Christian School Page 2 June 5, 2007 EXHIBIT C movement systems, and providing adequate separation between buildings. Externally, appropriate privacy relationships with surrounding properties are maintained by limiting the height of the proposed buildings to two stories, as well as through the provision of increased building setbacks. The site consists of existing landscape buffers, which will adequately screen the proposed building. In addition, the proposed signage is considered to be consistent with the requirements of the Code. The signage located on the proposed building is accented by landscaping. F. Concurrency and Level of Service Standards - The proposal is complies with the level of service standards under the Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan. Chapter 9 - Community DesiQn Plan This Chapter applies to new construction and as such applies to the current proposal. In accordance with Section 5, elevation drawings of all buildings have been submitted. Section 10 contains design site criteria. The proposal's compliance with these criteria is summarized below: · Building Location - The proposal has been designed in an orderly manner to avoid unusable or inaccessible space on the site. In particular, the site layout separates vehicular and pedestrian movement systems on the site, thereby giving all spaces a distinctive function. · Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation - As indicated the pedestrian and vehicular movement systems have been separated. Given the nature of existing development, cross-access to adjoining sites is not practicable. · Service Areas - Existing service areas will be utilized. All communal service facilities and utilities are appropriately screened. · Walls - All walls, fences and ancillary site elements will be designed in colors and materials to match the dominant building form within the development · Exterior Lighting - Exterior lighting will match existing lighting on site. A photometric plan has been submitted with this application. The lighting will not be of an intensity that produces any significant glare on surrounding properties. Existing lighting will be used with only a few lighting elements added for proper lighting of the site. · Landscape Features - The proposed landscape plan includes the required foundation planting per Landscape requirements and includes parking lot trees for the additional 29 parking spaces. The proposed landscape is compatible with existing and surrounding landscape on site. · Signs - Signage will be limited to a single entrance sign, as detailed on plans submitted with this application. The proposed sign has been designed to relate to the architectural character of the development and utilizes colors and materials that will complement the built form. · Exterior Building Design - The proposed development has been designed to integrate various buildings within an overall site plan that places emphasis on the communal areas of the site. The proposed buildings convey a human scale and are consistent with the traditional suburban characteristics of surrounding development. Lake Worth Christian School Page 3 June 5, 2007 Conditional Use Application EXHIBIT C As mentioned previously, the applicant is requesting approval for a 9,255 square foot Early Childhood Development, which is a conditional use under the R1-AA zoning designation. The Early Childhood Development Center will be located on the ground floor of the proposed two-story building. This would allow the site to include an additional service that would benefit and serve the surrounding communities. Bovnton Beach Code of Ordinances Chapter 2 - Zoning Chapter 2.5.C of the Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances relates to the Single Family Residential District (R1-AA). This section discusses the property development regulations for projects within the R1-AA district. These requirements are consistent with the attached Major Site Plan Modification Application and states that an early childhood development center is a conditional use. Subsection 2.11.2.C of the Code outlines the materials that must be submitted with a conditional use application. These materials are included with the major site plan modification submittal and are to be reviewed concurrently. Chapter 2.11.2.D of the Code outlines conditional use review standards. The proposed Early Childhood Development Center meets all the following standards for a conditional use: 1) Egress and Ingress The proposed project already has an existing entrance and existing parking areas, which create functional traffic circulation and access for fire trucks and delivery vehicles. 2) Off-street Parking All parking requirements are met on site and extra parking has been provided. Overall an additional 79 parking spaces in excess of code requirement are provided on site. Per the pre-application meeting with the City of Boynton Beach it was determined that 29 parking spaces are required for the proposed site plan amendment. Per the said meeting it was also determined that the general use and athletic complex buildings did not require separate parking requirements as they are accessory uses to the school. As such the proposed site plan exceeds all parking requirements. 3) Refuse and Service Areas The proposed site plan proposed project will utilize existing refuse containers and service areas. 4) Utilities The site has been previously designed to accommodate expansion such as the proposed application. Therefore existing utilities will be utilized and are sufficient for the proposed development. 5) Setbacks and Open Spaces The proposed site plan modification maintains the existing landscape buffers and creates a large open space north of the softball field. 6) Signage and lighting The proposed project will utilize existing lighting and signage. The only additional proposed sign will be located on the east fa<;ade of the proposed elementary school/ECDC building as shown on the architectural elevations. The existing lighting will also be utilized with the exception of the addition of one new lighting fixture added to illuminate the proposed sidewalk that runs north and Lake Worth Christian School Page 4 June 5, 2007 south to connect the parking areas. EXHIBIT C 7) Height of Buildings The height of the proposed buildings are compatible with other buildings on site and are in harmony with the surrounding community and adjacent nearby properties. 8) Compliance, Compatible, and Conformance The proposed project complies with all Boynton Beach ordinances and Land Development Regulations.
