The proposed amendments are described as follows: The Rosemary Scrub is a 13.59-acre scrub site that was acquired using Preservation 2000 funds through a joint application with the county. The grant contract and management plan requires that the site be reclassified from Moderate Density Residential to Recreation for preservation purposes. The subject site will continue to be labeled with the Conservation Overlay designation and have corresponding narrative within comprehensive plan text. The Palmetto Green Park site is a 4-acre parcel developed recently as a passive park, and according to Policy 1.16.1, recreation uses shall be designated accordingly. Therefore, the property should be reclassified from Low Density Residential to Recreation. o The Seacrest Scrub site is a 53.69 acre-scrub site. This site was also purchased jointly with the County using state funds. This property is proposed to be reclassified from the Medium Density Residential and Low Density Residential classifications to the Recreation classification, and will be preserved in perpetuity pursuant to the management plan and interlocal agreement. The Isles at Hunter's Rrm site consists of 30 acres developed with single-family homes. A historic court order that was to allow commercial use on this property was amended in 1996 to allow residential use. To accurately reflect the current use of the proPerty, k should be reclassified to Low Density Residential. The plan was previously modified to reflect Low Density Residential land use consistent with the 1996 Amended Agreed Order; however, this change was never processed as a formal large-scale plan amendment.

City of Boynton Beach EAR-based Comprehensive Plan Amendments 9-21 Date: June 6, 2000 Capital Improvements Element Response to Objections, Recommendations And Comments Report Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment City of Boynton Beach Amendment 00-1 ER I. Consistency with Chapter 163, F.S., and Rule 9J-5 & 9-11, F.A.C. The City of Boynton Beach, in Palm Beach County, has proposed a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, based on the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) adopted on April 1, 1997. The proposed Amendment consists of updating all of the Elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan as anticipated in the EAR. The proposed EAR-based Amendment includes four Future Land Use Maps (FLUM) changes. The City has also proposed a non-EAR related FLUM change. The City proposed to adopt this Amendment in May of June of 2000. The Department has identified the following objections to the proposed Amendment: A. EAR-based Amendment Transportation Element Objection 1. The Transportation Element does not include future transportation maps identifying the major public transit trip generators and attractors based upon the future land use map; and the projected peak hour levels of service for transportation facilities for which level of service standards are established. Response: The MPO generated 2020 throughfare system and 2020 pedestrian facilities are included as support documents. The Public Transit System Map implicitly indicates the location of major public transit trip generators and attractors at various terminals. The map will be expanded, however, to explicitly indicate the trip generators and attractors based on the Future Land Use Map. The projected peak hour level of service is contained in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report as Map 2.9. Objection 2. The Transportation Element support documentation indicated that transit market share for Tri-County Rail and Palm-Tran, as well as pedestrian and bicycle facilities, would have to increase in the City through transportation' demand management (TDM) strategies in order to modify peak-hour travel demand. However, the City did not include a policy in this Element establishing TDM programs. Response: An explicit TDM oriented policy to establish a transportation management organization as an implementing vehicle for the TDM will be added above and beyond what is implicitly indicated in Objective 2.7 and 2.8, pending the City's concurrence with the costs and Staff implication of a TDM public/private parmership and responsibilities.
