Variance Application
This variance application is submitted on behalf of Lancore Nursery, LLC ("Petitioner") for
property generally located on the east side of North Federal Highway, north of Dimick Road
("Property"). The Property has a land use designation of SHDR and a zoning designation of IPUD.
The Petitioner has submitted applications for site plan and conditional use approval concurrent
with this variance request. The Petitioner wishes to develop a 320 boat slip marina on the
Property. In order to develop the proposed marina, the Petitioner requests the approval of
variances from the following code sections:
Variance from Chapter 2, Section 5.L.3- Maximum structure height - 45 feet to
permit a maximum structure height of 67 feet (the "Height Variance").
Variance from Chapter 2, Section 5.L4.g.9.{p) that requires the height of 50%
of the required trees or palms be a minimum of 2/3 of the height of the
building to permit the height of the required trees or palms be a minimum
height of 1/3 of the height of the building (the "Landscaping Variance").
As discussed in greater detail below, the above Variance request complies with the City's
variance review criteria. In particular, the Petitioner will demonstrate that: (a) special
conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the Property; (b) the special conditions
and circumstances do not result from the actions of Petitioner; (e) the granting of the Variance
will not confer on Petitioner any special privileges; (d) the literal interpretation would deprive
Petitioner of rights commonly enjoyed by others in the IPUD zoning district; (e) the Variance is
the minimum Variance that would make reasonable use of the land; and (f) the granting of the
Variance would be in harmony with the intent of the land development regulations.
Variance from Chapter 6, Section 5.L3 - Maximum structure height - 45 feet to permit a
maximum structure height of 67 feet (the "Height Variance").
A. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or
building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the
same zoning district.
Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building involved and
are not applicable to other buildings in the same zoning district. The proposed marina is
being designed to accommodate a state of the art dry dock boat storage system. The facility
has been designed to utilize not only new technology but an enhanced design. The dry
storage facilities of the past have been boat barns. They are not concrete construction and
offer nothing in the way of architectural elements including projecting and varying facades,
faux windows, balconies, with the use of different construction materials to make the
facility not only more architecturally pleasing, but more compatible with residential. The
waterfront is limited to the area along the intra-coastal very much limiting where a marina
and dry storage facility can be located. Most of the waterfront is and has been developed to
serve a limited residential community. Although there are some that may prefer to locate
these types of uses away from the waterfront, water is the essential requirement for the
marina. Further, both the County and State have recognized that the waterfront uses such
as the marina and dry storage combined with other active waterfront uses are essential to
the economic survival of the County and State and must be utilized better.
The proposed facility and others like it, demonstrate that the use can be made more
compatible. An example of this type of facility is the Marina One facility in north Deerfield
Beach across from the upscale community of Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club. Marina
One also provides for 4 levels of stacking in a much more upscale building than the old boat
barn. Copies of the architecture are incorporated into a power point presentation which will
be presented at the hearing. like the subject property, the Marina One is significantly taller
than the 45 foot height limitation and yet is compatible with multi-million one story single
family homes across the canal (the Marina One height is approximately the same height as
the proposed dry storage). As we try to mitigate the use, we are required to increase the
cost of construction which combined with the waterfront property and use make for a very
expensive property and use. The upscale dry storage facility is much more expensive to
construct. The combination of added cost, limited waterfront and limited vacant parcels
drives the economic hardship. As this use cannot be moved across town to cheaper
industrial zoned land, the land conditions make the development of the marina/dry storage
unique with special conditions and circumstances associated to the use itself. The
economics of the use require a minimum of 4 levels of stacking necessary. In addition to the
architectural benefits of an upscale building, the concrete construction contains the noise
far better than the older boat barns.
Even the State of Florida and Palm Beach County acknowledge the uniqueness of the
waterfront use. In July 2008, the State of Florida and Palm Beach County adopted a Manatee
Protection Plan ("MAP") that among other things limited the number of wet and dry slips
and the location of such uses in the County, and the State of Florida. The City has only one
area within the City where such uses are preferred (See Exhibit "A"). As most of the area in
the green zone is improved, the Property is the only parcel large enough to accommodate
the dry storage/marina use, special conditions exist. There are no other real land areas that
could accommodate this use, the height is needed for this use to be achieved particularly
with all the compatibility requirements adopted within the IPUD.
B. The special conditions and circumstances do not result for the actions of the applicant.
The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of actions of the Petitioner. The
adoption of the green zone (limiting the areas within which the use may be situated) and
the substantial conditions within the IPUD (that must be met) are not the result of the
Petitioner, nor is the width of the land between Federal and the water. The size and shape
of the Property effect how it is able to be developed. Because of the elongated shape of the
Property, developable space is limited while accommodating required parking, drive aisle
widths and landscaping. The proposed dry storage building is limited as to how it can be
situated on the site. The structure must be taller to accommodate the number of dry boat
storage slips and the new technology. The additional height is also needed to accommodate
the increasing sizes of boats. New boats which are being fabricated are much taller from the
hull to the top of the boat. The size and shape of the Property have necessitated the
Petitioner to increase the proposed hefghUo accommodate the innovative automated boat
storage system and the needs of the boati ng public. Additionally, the Property's location
within the MAP further limiting the development potential of the Property as discussed
above.
C. Granting the variance requested variance will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, buildings or structures in the same
zoning district.
Granting of the Height Variance will not confer any special privilege on the Petitioner. The
use is permitted by conditional use approval. If other applicants can meet the requirements
of the code they could make such application. A portion of the height request is to enhance
the elevations to mitigate the height of the building. The neighboring property to the north
was approved for a height of approximately 50 feet which exceeded the height requirement
by approximately five feet. This request is similar. The Petitioner is asking for an additional
22 feet. Without the Height Variance, this building likely could not be built.
D. Uteral interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the
Ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the Petitioner of the
ability to construct an allowable use within the lPUD zoning district and would work
unnecessary and undue hardship on Petitioner. There is no other category in the City that
would allow this use at the height required to build it. The facility is located within the green
zone area of the MAP. As there are few undeveloped parcels and no other undeveloped
parcel is of the size of this one, the use could likely not be constructed in the City. The IPUD
revised regulations require substantial construction and landscaping improvements to
mitigate proximity to residential. The cost of the improvements precludes a boat barn. The
waterfront is built out with significant residential. If this use cannot be constructed on one
of the largest undeveloped parcels, it would likely not be constructed anywhere. Therefore,
denial of this application will deny the petitioner of the right to develop a use provided for
within the IPUD zoning district.
E. The variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasanable use af
the land, building ar structure.
The proposed Height Variance is the minimum variance that will make the innovative boat
storage facility a possibility, thus successfully introducing this newer technology and design
to the City of Boynton Beach. This facility represents a more efficient, quiet and attractive
use of the Property, while still permitting the Petitioner to meet other City Code
requirements. Even the older boat barns are typically able to stack four (4) levels of boats.
This unattractive, inexpensive form of construction would likely not need a height variance
as the architecture provides no additional architectural elements as have been provided in
this application. The traditional boat barn, however, would not be architecturally
compatible within the IPUD and would likely not be approved. We are simply requesting the
ability to have the same number of levels of storage as the older boat barn facilities.
F. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
chapter and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.
The;granting of the Height Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose
of the Code. This Height Variance allows for the development of an attractive marina on
Federal Highway. Without the Variance the proposed structure would most likely not be
feasible. Design and function should be taken into account when developing along Federal
Highway, a major north/south roadway through the City. This proposed dry storage building
will not be injurious to those properties adjacent to the Property nor will the granting of the
Variance be injurious to the public welfare. The architecture and landscaping have been
designed to mitigate the height. This facility achieves that goal while being sensitive to the
surrounding community.
G. Variances to minimum lot area or lot frontage requirements, that property is not available
from adjacent properties in order to meet these requirements, or that the acquisition of such
property would cause the adjacent property of structures to become nonconforming.
Applicant shall provide an affidavit with the application for variance stating that the above
mentioned conditions exist with respect to the acquisition of additional property.
Not Applicable.
