classification, and zoned Community Commercial (C3), and farther south right-of-
way for the L.W.D.D. C-16 Canal;
East:
Right-of-way for Congress Avenue, and farther east developed mixed use property
(Renaissance Commons), with a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) future
land use classification, and zoned Suburban Mixed Use (SMU); and
West:
Marriott Courtyard Hotel, and farther west is a developed residential property
Savannah Lakes with a High Density Residential (HDR) future land use
classification, and zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Site Details:
The project site is part of the Marriott Courtyard Hotel parking lot of the Catalina
Centre shopping center, located on the west side of Congress Avenue,
immediately north of the Lake Worth Drainage District C-16 Canal and Savannah
Lakes Drive. The lease parcel is slightly less than one acre of the total 9.64 acre
Marriott property, which shares a cross access and cross parking agreement with
the Catalina Centre.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
Bradley Miller, of Miller Land Planning, Inc., representing Oprock Boynton Fee,
LLC, is proposing to construct a one-story, 6,430 square foot Buffalo Wild Wings
restaurant building in the parking lot between the Marriott Courtyard Hotel and
Congress Avenue. As a part of the project, a section of the parking lot will be
reconfigured to accommodate the new building and the vacant, former Pete Rose
Ball Park Café space adjoining the hotel is planned to be converted to ancillary
hotel space to provide further hotel amenities or commercial space at some time in
the future.
ANALYSIS
Concurrency:
Traffic:
A traffic statement for the proposed project was sent to the Palm Beach County
Traffic Division for concurrency review in order to ensure an adequate level of
service. A traffic concurrency approval letter was received from Palm Beach
County indicating that 42 AM peak hour trips and 41 PM peak hour trips would be
generated as a result of this project and that no permits are to be issued after the
build-out date of 2016.
School:
School concurrency is not required for this type of project.
Utilities:
The City’s water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million
gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the
projected potable water for this project. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater
treatment capacity is also currently available to serve the project, subject to
the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity, following site plan approval.
Police / Fire:
Staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be
Staff Report – Buffalo Wild Wings (MSPM 14-001)
Memorandum No PZ 14-014
Page 3
sufficient to meet the expected demand for services.
Drainage:
Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City’s review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is
recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time
of permit review.
Vehicular Access:
The site plan (Sheet SP-1) shows that three (3) primary points of ingress/egress
are proposed for the new building. The first, is an existing right-in/right-out
driveway opening from Savannah Lakes Drive, immediately south of the proposed
building, which is currently utilized to access the hotel property from Congress
Avenue. The second and third points of ingress/egress are existing inter-parcel
access points to the north of the proposed building through Catalina Centre,
connecting with Catalina Drive and a fully signalized intersection with Congress
Avenue.
Circulation:
Vehicular circulation from each driveway would include two-way circulation that
continues throughout the parking lot. Parking is proposed on all sides of the
building and sidewalks have been provided to connect with the building entrance.
Pedestrian connectivity would be provided on site via a walkway that would extend
from the sidewalk along South Congress Avenue, as well as from the hotel
sidewalk. A covered bike rack is proposed along the north side of the restaurant
building.
Parking:
The site plan (Sheet SP-1) proposes a 6,430 square foot restaurant building,
which requires parking spaces be provided at a rate of 1 space per 100 square feet
of building or 1 space per 2.5 indoor seats, whichever is greater. In this instance,
the 228 indoor seats would require the greater number of parking spaces (92
spaces). The construction of the new restaurant in the hotel parking lot would
eliminate 60 existing parking spaces. The hotel site currently has 427 parking
spaces on site, as well as a shared parking agreement as part of Catalina Centre.
With the loss of 60 parking spaces, the hotel site would have a total of 367
available parking spaces on site. Based upon the required parking for the hotel
(221 spaces), and proposed Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant (92 spaces), there is an
excess of 54 parking spaces to accommodate the former Pete Rose Ball Park Café
space. As previously noted, the hotel operator is considering utilizing the space for
ancillary hotel purposes to provide further hotel amenities or commercial use at
some time in the future. If the amenities are wholly for hotel guests, no additional
parking is required. If the amenities are open to the general public, retail or office in
nature, then parking would be required for the future use. Based upon the 9,000
square foot size of the former café space, if it was totally utilized for retail purposes,
the parking would be calculated at 1 space per 200 square feet of building,
requiring 54 parking spaces, the exact number of excess spaces on site. Should
the space be utilized again as a restaurant, open to the general public, a minimum
of 90 parking spaces would be required based on the square footage, which could
increase based upon the ultimate number of seats. As previously noted, the
property has a shared parking agreement with Catalina Centre. An updated Shared
Parking Analysis was conducted in conjunction with the proposed new restaurant
to ensure adequate parking was provided for all uses on each site. The analysis
concluded there are a total of 1,102 parking spaces between the two sites. The
City code requires a parking buffer to account for any unforeseen parking demand
Staff Report – Buffalo Wild Wings (MSPM 14-001)
Memorandum No PZ 14-014
Page 4
peculiar to the site or operational characteristics that might not be captured in a
standard analysis. The buffer reduces the available parking for calculating demand
and supply for all users to 1,002 parking spaces. The parking study concludes that
the peak demand for all users is 949 spaces, resulting in a surplus of 53 spaces.
All proposed parking stalls, including the size and location of the handicap space,
were reviewed and approved by both the Engineering Division and Building
Division. In addition, all necessary traffic control signage and pavement markings
will be provided to clearly delineate areas on site and direction of circulation.
Landscaping:
The landscape plan (Sheet LP-1) depicts the existing landscape buffer adjacent to
Congress Avenue associated with the hotel property, which includes Green
Buttonwood trees and Sabal palms. Since the Sabal palms do not meet the FPL
“right tree-right place’ guidelines, staff is recommending relocation of these palms
to elsewhere on the site, and replacement with landscape material comparable
with the remainder of the Catalina Centre perimeter landscape buffer (see Exhibit
“C” – Conditions of Approval). The balance of the landscaping is proposed around
the new building and the reconfigured parking area. The plan depicts the use of
East Palatka Holly, Live Oak, Tabebuia and Cassia canopy trees and Alexander,
Foxtail and Montgomery palm trees. Typical shrubs would include Cocoplum,
Ligustrum, Indian Hawthorn, Podocarpus, Croton and Dwarf Jasmine.
The pervious area for the restaurant outparcel would total 18%, and consists of
foundation landscaping and landscape islands. The landscape code requires that
50% or more of the plant material be native species or low to medium water
demand varieties. The plant list (Sheet LP-1) indicates that 53% of the trees would
be native and/or drought tolerant
species. Also, the landscape plan indicates that
a total of 94% of shrub and groundcover material would be categorized as drought
tolerant. The code also limits the use of sod to larger open spaces for passive or
active recreation purposes, as well as swales, water detention and retention areas,
in an effort to reduce water consumption. The landscape plan does not propose
the use of any sod within the area affected by the construction of the restaurant
building, as per staff direction, the applicant has substituted groundcover materials
such as Dwarf Jasmine, Green Island Ficus and African Iris in areas where sod
would normally be used.
Building and Site:
The proposed building is designed as a one (1)-story structure with parapet walls
at two (2) varying heights to provide architectural character to the structure, as well
as a hip roof tower feature above the building entrance. The tower feature, with the
clay tile roof, was designed to be complimentary to the hotel and other buildings
within the shopping center, as well as provide a secured and screened area for the
air conditioning units. The proposed building placement complies with the
minimum setbacks of the C3 zoning district, which are 20 feet for the front and side
corner, and zero (0) feet for the interior side setback. The rear setback would not
apply, as the building is an outparcel of the hotel. The proposed building would be
setback in excess of 430 feet from the north property line (interior side), 60 feet
from the east property line (front) and 72 feet from the south property line (side
corner).
The floor plan (Sheet A-1.0) indicates the proposed restaurant would have 225
seats inside and another 60 seats on the covered patio along the south side of the
Staff Report – Buffalo Wild Wings (MSPM 14-001)
Memorandum No PZ 14-014
Page 5
building. The interior seating consists of both high top and low top tables, booths
and seating at the small bar area. Patio dining would consist of mostly low top
tables and a couple high tops.
Building Height:
The building elevations (Sheets A-2.0 & A-2.1) indicate the highest point of the
structure would be the hip roof at the building entry, at a height of 36 feet, with the
typical parapet wall at 20 feet, well below the maximum of 45 feet allowed in the
C3 zoning district and comparable with other buildings in the vicinity.
Design:
The proposed building utilizes many similar design features as other buildings in
the immediate vicinity, including clay tile roof areas, tower features, and neutral
colors. According to the “Legend” shown on Sheets A-2.0 & A-2.1, the main body
paint colors of the building would be a light peachy cream color and a medium
peachy tan, “Orange Froth” – BM 151 and “Grand Canyon” – BM 118 respectively.
These colors were chosen to compliment the colors of the Catalina Shopping
Centre, “Creamery’ – SW 6358 and “Chivalry Copper” – SW 6353, which are
nearly identical in color. The corporate identity for the restaurant is focused around
the building entry with their standard yellow and black combination. The two-story
entry wall is proposed to be painted a bold yellow “Citrus” – SW 6906. The steel
channel beams and awnings would be black. The trim/accent color would be an
off-white “Light Buff” – SW 0050. The awnings were added by the applicant to
further the compatibility of the building design with surrounding buildings.
Public Art:
The applicant has indicated they have not selected the proposed artwork or artist
at this time. Ultimate review and approval of the artist and artwork would be under
the purview of the Arts Commission.
Site Lighting:
The photometric plan (Sheet E-1) proposes a total of five (5) new freestanding
lights in the parking lot. The freestanding lights would be concrete pole lights,
designed and installed to match the existing poles and fixtures already existing in
the parking lot. A condition of approval has been added to ensure the light fixture
has a flush lens to reduce the amount of glare visible from off the property(see
Exhibit “C” – Conditions of Approval).
Signage:
Wall signage would consist of internally illuminated white reverse channel lettering.
The sign over the entry will have the white reverse channel letters installed on a
black aluminum background along with the black, yellow and white circular
corporate logo. The existing freestanding sign, previously used for the Pete Rose
Ball Park Café, will be refaced with the new Buffalo Wild Wings moniker.
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Application Review Team (DART) has reviewed this request for major site plan
modification approval and recommends approval contingent upon satisfying all comments indicated in
Exhibit “C” – Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City
Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

Comments:
1. Live Oaks trees on sheet LP-1 appear to be conflicting with the
water meter and RPZ on the conceptual PDW & Sewer sheet. In
general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility
easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement
so that roots and branches will not affect those utilities within the
easement in the near future.
2. Please submit a letter from a tree moving company verifying that the
remainder of the Live Oak trees cannot successfully be relocated
elsewhere on the site due to their poor health or size.
(Environmental Protection, Chapter 4, Article 1, Sec. 3C.1-6 pp. 4,
5)
3. The existing palms and shade trees on the site located under the
overhead FP&L wires are not the “right-tree-right-place” species.
FP&L requires these trees to be relocated (Sabal palms) and
removed / replaced with the proper species. This should be
included as part of the Major Site Plan Modification since similar
work will be performed on the interior of the site where the structure
is proposed to be built.
