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.

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

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.

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
