General Fund budget estimate for FY 2012-13. Transfers from other funds (non-
revenues) provide $16.6 M or 25% of the total funding sources to balance our $68.8 M
General Fund budgeted expenditures.
These three major estimated funding sources are summarized as follows:
1. 35% - $ 23.6 M – Property taxes less Tax Increment Financing to the CRA
2. 40% - $ 28.6 M – All other revenues plus General Fund Balance
3._25% - $ 16.6 M – Transfers from other funds
100% - $ 68.8 M – Total funding sources
The property tax rate for FY 2012-13 was increased from 7.1941 mills to 7.6000 mills;
the net property taxes of $27.0 M in FY 2012-13 represent a 5.6% increase in property
tax revenue or an increase of $.7 M from FY 2011-12.
To balance the budget in FY 2012-13, it required transfers from other funds of $16.6 M
representing 25% of all funding sources.
Actual Funding Sources Realized:
At the end of the eighth month in FY 2012-13,
revenues and transfers realized are approximately $54.8 M of the budget estimate
compared to $51.2 M realized to date in FY 2011-12.
Ad Valorem Taxes, net of discounts and TIF taxes to the CRA
, received to date was
$21.9 M as compared to $21.3 M for FY 2011-12, as noted on Exhibit A.
Other Revenues: The four major revenue sources other than property taxes:
Franchise Fees
1. realized was $2.80 M or 62% actual collected compared to $2.87 M
or 64% in FY 2011-12.
Business Taxes
2. are due at the beginning of the fiscal year. For FY 2012-13, $1.30
M or 96% has been collected which is almost equivalent to the FY 2011-12 amount of
$1.33 M or 89%.
State Shared revenues
3. of $4.54 M or 68% have been collected in FY2012-13 as
compared to $4.35 M or 67% received in FY 2011-12.
40 of 350
Public Safety revenues
4. at this point is on track with the budgeted amount; $3.10 M
or 81% was received compared to $3.01 M or 76% for FY 2011-12.
Transfers From Other Funds: Current practice is to transfer 1/12 of the budgeted
transfers from other funds each month. This will result in 100% realization of this
funding source for the year.
Expenditures (Exhibit B)
Budgeted Expenditures:
Overall, appropriations increased approximately 5.7% from
$65.1 M to $68.8 M. The budget increase was due to increased pension and health care
costs.
Actual Expenditures –
General Fund expenditures for the eight month period ending
May 31 (67% of the fiscal year) are $47.3 M that is 69% of the $68.8 M expenditure
appropriation for FY 2012-13.
The table at the top of Exhibit B displays actual expenditures of $47.3 M or 69% of the
FY 2012-13 budget. At this point in the fiscal year, we are ahead of spending levels
compared to the $44.9 M or 69% actual spending levels in FY 2011-12 for this same
period.
UTILITY FUND
The FY 2012-13 annual expenditure budget of $36.7 M represents a $.7 M decrease
from the FY 2011-12 budget of $37.4 M. The operational forecast may yield an
estimated $2.2 M fund balance increase for the year based on the budget.

For the eight month period in FY 2012-13,
Revenues realized are $24.8 M (67%) of the annual budget estimate.
Expenditures incurred are $24.5 M (67%) of the annual appropriated budget.
This results in revenues in excess of expenditures of approximately $ 286 K.
The following provides brief comments on revenues and expenditures to date.
Revenues (Exhibit C) -
The $24.8 M in FY 2012-13 actual revenues and fund balance
increase are on target with the $24.8 M to date in FY 2011-12, because of two factors:
Water Sales - $12.0 M equivalent to 67% of the annual estimate, compared to
41 of 350
$11.9 M or 65% at this point in FY 2011-12.
In FY 2012-13, $ 2.2 M is being recognized as an added increase to fund
balance, compared to an added increase of $ 1.7 M in FY 2011-12.
These factors should provide for adequate bond debt service coverage.
Expenditures (Exhibit D)
– Utility Fund FY 2012-13 expenditures to date are $24.5 M
or 67% of the annual appropriation compared to expenditures of $20.9 M or 56% for the
prior fiscal year. The increase is due to a budgeted transfer to the Utility
Renewal/Replacement capital fund that is in the FY 2012-13 budget.

ER:
Pursuant to Chapter 2, Article V of the City of Boynton
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
Beach Code of Ordinances, the applicant filed an appeal to the Board’s Lien
Modification Order. The basis for the appeal is further described in the applicant’s
correspondence and is included in the back up (Exhibit ”B”).
th
Countrywide Home Loans is the subject to the lien involving property at 228 SW 8 Ave.
The applicant states in the appeal memo that the property in question is valued at
$87,000.00 and the reduction of the lien to the amount of $65,634.12 is excessive.
Countrywide was originally cited on 1/8/10 under the CH10 SEC.10-51.5 INC. that holds
the bank responsible to register and maintain the property once the property becomes
vacant or is in default. The violations on the property were to register the property with
FPRC, mow lawn, trim bushes, remove trash and debris, secure structure at all
openings and maintain pool in a sanitary condition. Notices were sent to Countrywide
and also to the foreclosing attorney. The violations were not corrected and a lien was
recorded on 6/18/10.
Code Compliance was contacted in January 2013 and requested to verify compliance
and perform a lien reduction inspection. The case complied and the fine ran for a total
of $1,065 days at $250.00 per day plus administrative fees for a total amount of
$266,884.12.
247 of 350
The lien reduction inspection revealed that the screens on the windows needed to be
replaced, glass on jalousie window needed to be replaced, the wood on the shed
needed to be repaired, awnings needed to be repaired and the decks and awnings
needed to be pressure cleaned. In addition, an outstanding water bill in the amount of
$121.93 had to be paid.
Code Compliance was contacted at the end March 2013 for a re-inspection. All of the
above was corrected but the Code Officer found that the sprinkler pump was now
missing and needed to be replaced and the pool needed to be cleaned. At the
beginning of April the property was re-inspected and met all requirements for lien
reduction.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 13-020 -
EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION
SECOND READING - PUBLIC HEARING - Approve amendments to the LDR to 1) amend the
definitions to distinguish between governmental uses, and create new commercial/warehouse
uses and parking regulations; 2) amend zoning matrix regarding theater, day care,
manufacturer’s representative and automotive repair uses; 3) update Ocean Avenue Overlay
Zone by adding uses intended for the corridor consistent with redevelopment plan; 4) create
definitions and regulations for small wind energy systems; 5) amend regulations for decks, patios,
steps, stoops, and terraces; and 6) amend the flood prevention regulations consistent with the
State of Florida Model Ordinance. Staff-initiated
ER:
As explained in the accompanying staff report, this item is
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
comprised of 6 different topics or groups of amendments initiated for various purposes
with 4 of them directly promoting development, redevelopment or economic
development. The subject amendments are generally described as follows:
Ocean Avenue Overlay Zone –
This first group of amendments are minor changes to the existing zoning matrix and
represent the continued implementation of the Downtown Vision and Master Plan which
calls for mixed-use buildings lining the Avenue along with historic structures housing
galleries and supportive retail. This segment of Ocean Avenue is referred to in the
Master Plan as the Cultural Corridor, and is intended to connect the Cultural Campus to
the downtown TOD District. The overlay was established as a zoning tool in 2010 given
that this segment of Ocean Avenue consists of two different zoning districts – R-3 and
254 of 350
C-2. These amendments are a product of a joint effort by City and CRA staff, in
connection with the CRA’s current efforts to identify a business venture to adaptively
reuse their property at 211 E. Ocean Avenue (aka Magnusson House).
Uses to be added or changes proposed include retail stores handling cosmetics and
beauty items, and pets and pet supplies; professional offices and small gyms/fitness
centers (limited to upper floors); and schools limited to those that teach the culinary and
visual arts.
Theatres in MU L1 and L2 –
This is a very simple amendment to the Zoning Matrix in connection with the plan for the
adaptive reuse of the Old High School building including application of the MU-L1
zoning district. The MU-L1 district is intended for the Cultural Corridor and this is a
logical extension of the zoning district and consistent with the ultimate plan for private
ownership of the school and removal of the property from the Public Usage district.
The amendment merely adds “Theatres” as a permitted use to the MU-L1 district. As a
“cleanup” action for consistency purposes, staff is proposing to also amend the matrix
changing “Theatres” as a conditional use to a permitted use in the MU-L2 district.
Governmental Uses –
These amendments represent a continuation of the analysis of tax exempt uses that
began as part of the phase 1 zoning study and which concentrated on churches,
schools and social service agencies. This current task has concentrated on those uses
within a governmental service category, and its principal effect is to differentiate
between city services and non-city agencies and adopt regulations intended to
maximize industrial and commercial land ownership to tax paying entities, while
providing appropriate zoning districts for such varying governmental uses that provide
necessary services to our residents and businesses. This is accomplished with added
terms and definitions, and use provisions including limiting certain uses within multi-
tenant buildings and to upper floors within certain commercial districts, and setting a
maximum square footage standard.
Manufacturer’s Rep –
Prompted by the opportunity to accommodate a unique office-type use which otherwise
would be limited to commercial retail zoning districts (e.g. C-2, C-3), staff proposes to
establish this new use, and corresponding provisions/restrictions, to the zoning matrix.
The use would be added to the C-1 district, as an office type use as long as the use
would not be the location for direct sales of the subject limited product line. The initial
inquiry targeted a building zoned C-1 and located in the CRA.
255 of 350
Showroom/Warehouses –
This item that would establish the new use “Showroom, warehouse (single product line),
is being pulled from this set of amendments for further review, particularly with the
involvement of the City’s newly hired Economic Development Manager. Staff will
continue work on these amendments and if ready, include them in a subsequent set of
amendments.
Changes to minimum setbacks for pools, spas and decks –
This is another very simple amendment, initiated in response to past variances to such
setbacks and current inquiries for reductions, and to recognize the opportunities to
reduce minimum setbacks applicable to those properties that abut undevelopable land
uses such as canals and other water bodies, roadways, common areas, golf courses or
other recreation areas which would be unaffected by the location of a pool, spa, or deck
on an adjacent parcel.
The minimum required setback for in-ground pools (and spas) and above-ground pools
is currently eight (8) feet and ten (10) feet, respectively, from side interior and rear
yards. The proposed amendment would allow both types of pools to be regulated
similarly (as long as the above-ground pool is no greater than 36 inches above the
ground), and reduce the minimum setback to two (2) feet in those instances where the
subject property abuts the above-described land uses.
Small Wind Energy Systems –
This proposed amendment furthers the City’s Climate Action Plan and is the next step in
introducing zoning provisions for windmills. Recall that in 2010 the City adopted its first
windmill regulations, being limited to the aeration of water retention ponds. The
proposed amendment expands the provisions to allow them for wind generation and
educational purposes. The Galaxy Elementary School Rebuild project prompted this
next phase of regulations, as the new school is planned to have windmills that will
contribute to its label of being the school with the highest green certification in the state.
Flood Prevention Requirements –
The City participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and therefore
adopts and enforces floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed the
minimum NFIP standards and requirements. These standards, from Chapter 44 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR), are intended to prevent loss of life and property,
as well as economic and social hardships that result from flooding.
On January 15, 2013, the State of Florida adopted a Model Floodplain Management
Ordinance. As part of the City’s initiative to achieve regulatory compliance, the
proposed code amendment would add language that is recommended by the Model
Ordinance. The new language would add flood-related definitions as well as
reformatting and clarifying the City’s procedures in the administration of the floodplain
256 of 350
regulations. It should be noted that no new processes or substantive changes are being
proposed at this time; therefore, there would be no difference in how the City
administrates the flood prevention provisions should the proposed ordinance be
adopted.
Lastly, this set also proposes two “house-keeping” (minor) amendments to the LDR, to
allow minor automobile repair as accessory to C-3 (similar to C-2), and to decrease the
minimum property size from one (1) acre to 0.5 acre for a daycare business in the R-2
and R-3 zoning districts (consistent with the standard applicable to the single family
zoning districts). Staff has recently realized these inconsistencies in the regulations and
recommends the subject amendments to maximize consistency and clarity.
H?
The proposed amendments will

ANALYSIS
Changes to the Ocean Avenue Overlay Zone (OAOZ)
261 of 350
The Ocean Avenue Overlay Zone (OAOZ) was established within the City’s Land Development
Regulations in 2010 as part of the comprehensive update and rewrite of the LDR. The OAOZ
was established to implement a recommendation of, and the vision represented by the City of
Boynton Beach Downtown Vision & Master Plan, as approved in 2009 by the Community
Redevelopment Agency Board (CRA). The Plan labels a segment of Ocean Avenue as the
“Ocean Avenue Cultural Corridor,” which is also described as connecting “the Cultural Campus
to the Transit Oriented Development District”. The Plan calls for mixed-use buildings to line
“the Avenue along with historic structures readapted to galleries and supportive retail”. With the
Plan’s emphasis on historic preservation, human-scale architecture, infill development and a
diversity of uses including galleries, retail and professional offices, the overlay was initially
established to promote adaptive reuse of existing buildings and maintaining new construction
that is consistent in scale with the corridor.
The overlay zone was established due to the existence of varying zoning districts existing along
the corridor, namely a combination of R-3, Multi-family and C-2, Neighborhood Commercial.
The recent efforts by the CRA to partner with a developer as part of the Magnusson House
project (aka 211 E. Ocean Avenue) prompted the close examination of the use provisions of the
OAOZ against current market characteristics and known opportunities. As a result of this review
of the current regulations, and to increase the marketability of the Magnuson House, the subject
changes are proposed to the Zoning Matrix and corresponding Notes, as adopted within the Land
Development Regulations, Chapter 3, Article IV.
The proposed amendments simply 1) add a few uses not previously included in the overlay, such
as retail stores with cosmetics and beauty items, and pets and pet supplies; 2) amend the matrix
for consistent treatment of professional and office uses and limit such uses to upper floors; 3)
allow for gyms and fitness centers within the overlay but again limited to upper floors; and 4)
allow the teaching of culinary and visual arts of those educational uses that comprise the
“School, Professional & Technical” use category.
Theatres Allowed in MU-L1 and MU-L2 Zoning District
A theater is allowed as a conditional use in the MU-L2 zoning district, and is allowed as a
permitted use in the MU-L3 and MU-H zoning districts. All three districts require theaters to be
integrated into mixed use buildings or developments. This code amendment is intended to add
the use “Theatre” to the MU-L1 zoning district as a permitted use. Also proposed is an
amendment to the MU-L2 zoning district to change the theatre use from “conditional” to a
“permitted”. Theaters would be required to locate on parcels that front on arterial or collector
roadways when proposed in the MU-L1, MU-L2, and MU-L3 zoning districts. This would be
consistent with how indoor entertainment is regulated. Likewise, in all mixed-use urban
districts, conditional use approval would be required if the theatre is designed as an outdoor
facility.
Adding a theater as a permitted use in MU-L1, and changing it from a conditional use to a
permitted use in the MU-L2, is consistent with the City’s vision for the downtown and the
surrounding areas and promotes economic development. The mixed-use urban districts are
envisioned for selected geographic areas east of I-95, with a mixture of uses and increased
building intensity intended to further the City's Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment plans
promoting compact design, transit oriented development, and jobs and housing balance. The mix
262 of 350
of uses should work in synergy, heightening pedestrian activity and creating a sustainable and
interesting urban environment.
Even though theater attendance has generally been waning in recent years, theaters are vital
components of such synergistic mix of uses in many successful downtowns, providing a
destination and attracting people to local restaurants and shops. Flexible venues featuring all
types of performing arts may be more viable as contributors to “culturally-based economic
development.”
“Theater” is already a permitted use in the C-3 and C-4 districts and in the C-2-zoned sections of
the Ocean Avenue Overlay. A number of areas zoned C-3 and C-4 are eligible for MU-L1 and
MU-L2 zoning.
Finally, the request to rezone the Old High School property to MU-L1 is being processed
concurrently with the subject request. As one of the uses proposed for this adaptive reuse
project, performing arts would complement uses envisioned along the Cultural Corridor on
Ocean Avenue by the City of Boynton Beach Downtown Vision and Master Plan.
Redefining Governmental Uses
As part of confronting budget issues, the City Commission last year directed staff to
comprehensively examine the zoning map and Land Development Regulations against the
objectives of maximizing land development value, and optimizing locations for non-profit uses.
Over the past several years such tax exempt uses such as churches, schools and social service
agencies have been added to most zoning districts, and acres of industrial land have been
converted for non-industrial uses including residential. Staff conducted the evaluation and
identified necessary changes intended to preserve industrial lands, and concentrate certain not-
for-profit uses within zoning districts that include, or are in close proximity to their typical
customer base. The City Commission approved staff recommendations.
Not specifically addressed in this prior effort are the group of non-profit businesses falling under
the “governmental” heading. Most (if not all) governmental uses enjoy tax exempt status if they
own title to the property. The LDR generally recognizes three (3) such principal uses -
“community facilities,” “essential services,” and “post office.” Excluding post offices, the code
does not differentiate between the varying levels of governmental entities, such as municipal,
county, regional, state, or federal. Likewise, the code does not differentiate between uses with
moderate-to-high volumes of public interaction/customer-service traffic compared with those
which serve principally a utility function, such as a warehouse, storage yard, or support
operation. This ambiguity in the code can be burdensome to staff to interpret as well as
ultimately contrary to the objective of maximizing development and land values.
The code amendment proposes to define governmental uses in five (5) different categories with a
distinction between City and non-City agencies. The reason for the distinction is that City uses
should be given a higher degree of “home rule” privilege than the non-City counterparts, because
the City’s elected officials can carry out the will of the people when choosing appropriate
locations for City facilities (within the city limits). Also, the purpose and intent of this
amendment is to accommodate more industrial and commercial businesses in order to diversify
the City’s economy, which is consistent with the economic development goals. This analysis of
such uses also allowed consideration of needs to prevent exclusion of necessary governmental
operations that serve the local residents.

Manufacturer’s Representative and Showroom/Warehouses
Staff has been approached by an entrepreneur desiring to operate a business in a vacant bay of an
existing building located within a redevelopment area of the City. The entrepreneur wants to
serve as a manufacturer’s representative in the clothing industry. The business would provide
customer service in an office-type setting, primarily through pre-arranged appointments. The
inventory is mainly kept off-premises, although a small showroom could be available. Business
offices are allowed in the C-1 zoning district. Currently, the code does not appropriately define
this unique type of business, and staff’s interpretation of the proposed business
activities/operations categorizes it with principal uses which are more intensive in nature and
limited to the C-4 and M-1 zoning districts. Without amending the code, the types of principal
uses with which the subject business would be categorized are not allowed in the C-1 zoning
district, unlike business offices. Business attraction and retention are important to the health of
the City; therefore, staff is proposing to create a new principal use to address the issue.
Showroom/Warehouses
Staff, in an effort to increase business opportunities for larger scale retailers and assist in
facilitating the leasing of some of the vacant commercial and industrial spaces within the City, is
suggesting amendments to the LDR involving new definitions that separates uses that were
Merchandise, New Warehousing.
formerly grouped under major headings such as and
Understanding that Showroom-type establishments have different operational characteristics
than department stores and home improvement big box stores relative to peak customer traffic
and parking needs, the proposed amendment recommends the creation of a new principal use in
the Use Matrix to recognize and regulate the use differently, including provisions within the
Warehouse, Showroom (limited product line)
Planned Indutrial Development District. would be
defined as a showroom-type establishment in which the principal use consists of a showroom for
large household items such as furniture, major appliances, flooring, mattresses or the like. These
establishments generally have a single product line, which differentiates them from department
stores, electronics stores, home improvement stores and warehouse clubs in that they do not sell
a wide range and mix of merchandise. Parking for this particular use would be one (1) parking
space per each 500 square feet of gross floor area for the first 10,000 square feet and one (1)
parking space for each 1,000 square feet thereafter, rather than being grouped in with typical
retail uses at one (1) parking space for each 200 square feet, again based upon the lower volume
of customer traffic associated with stores that sell the limited product line.
Warehouse, Internet
Similarly, the proposed amendment would create another principal use,
Sales
, which is generally a warehouse use with a limited retail component. The business is
typically a warehouse type of operation, selling items over the internet and would allow limited
showroom floor area and weekend auction activities. This use would be defined as a warehouse-
type business for the storing, packing and shipping of merchandise primarily sold through
internet sales. This business has little on-premise client/customer contact with limited showroom
sales and limited on-premise auction activities (weekends only). Showroom area is not to exceed
20% of total gross floor area. Parking for this particular use would be one (1) parking space per
each 500 square feet of gross floor area devoted to showroom/auction room and one (1) parking
space for each 700 square feet of dedicated warehouse space, rather than one (1) parking space
for each 500 square feet of warehouse space currently in the code, based upon the minimal on-
premise customer contact associated with internet sales. Again, the ability of the business to
hold auctions is limited to weekends when parking demand in the industrial areas decreases.

Changes to the Minimum Setbacks Required for Swimming Pools/Spas and Decks
The LDR currently contains provisions for swimming pools (and spas) and decks/patios. The
code recognizes two (2) types of swimming pools/spas - in-ground and above-ground, and each
are regulated differently. Both types are allowed within side interior and rear yards, but none are
permitted within front or side corner yards.
The minimum required setback for in-ground pools (and spas) is eight (8) feet from side interior
and rear yards. The rear setback may be reduced to five (5) feet in certain instances where the
subject property abuts “undevelopable lands” (e.g., body of water; Interstate Highway; golf-
course; etc.). Above-ground swimming pools (and spas) are required to be setback 10 feet from
side interior and rear property lines and there are no special provisions to reduce their required
setbacks.
The proposed code amendment would modify how in-ground and above-ground swimming
spools (and spas) are regulated. As proposed, in-ground and above-ground swimming pools and
spas (36 inches in height or less) would be regulated in the same manner. The minimum
required setback (from side interior and rear property lines) would remain at eight (8) feet;
however, the provision to reduce the setback along qualifying rear property lines would change
from five (5) feet to two (2) feet (by right). Furthermore, this setback may be reduced to zero (0)
setback, but only upon the discretion of the Director of Planning and Zoning where determined
to pose no impact to abutting properties. In addition, this provision for reduced setbacks would
be extended to side interior property lines as well. Decks and patios are site improvements that
are typically associated with swimming pools and spas. As such, the aforementioned provision
to reduce the side interior and rear setbacks are applicable to them as well, if designed
concurrently with a swimming pool or spa.
Nothing would change with respect to above-ground pools that are taller than 36 inches in height
– they would still be subject to the 10-foot setback. No change is proposed to either type
regarding the prohibition of swimming pools and spas in front or side corner yards.
Provisions for Small Wind Energy Systems (SWES)
In creating a more sustainable community, staff recognizes great benefits in drafting land
development regulations (LDR) that promote renewable energy, recycling, and conservation.
Through the years and particularly after the adoption of the Climate Action Plan, staff has been
systematically and proactively drafting “green” regulations, such as provisions for photovoltaic
(PV) arrays, compost bins, rain barrels, community gardens, electric vehicle (EV) charging
stations and windmills for aeration purposes.
In 2010, the City adopted provisions for non-energy producing windmills, to be allowed within
nonresidential zoning districts for the sole purpose of aerating wet detention areas. At the time,
the Utilities Department wanted to install two (2) windmills (25 feet in height) at the wet
detention area of Mangrove Walk Park/Downtown Stormwater Pond as part of a resolution to a
water quality problem involving the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
The windmills were intended to assist in the aeration of the wet detention pond that stores water
before being released into the Intracoastal Waterway. The code amendment was approved on an
“interim basis” in order for staff to have time to observe, measure, and record any adverse
impacts resulting from the windmills. One main concern was the potential for impacting
265 of 350
bird/wildlife. After the ordinance was adopted, staff conducted monthly inspections over the
course of the following year and observed no dead birds or animals. During the public hearing
process, it was understood that future code provisions could be considered once the windmills
were tested and yielded little or no adverse impact, or if the benefit of having them far
outweighed the costs. The windmills, along with two fountains located within the Downtown
Stormwater Pond, now aerate the pond and help to maintain adequate dissolved oxygen levels to
support a healthy aquatic environment for fish, turtles, plants, and other aquatic life. The
Utilities Department has been pleased with the operation and effectiveness of the windmills since
their installation in 2010. The current provisions in the LDR allow windmills only on non-
residential sites for the sole purpose of aerating wet detention areas. This proposed amendment
would expand their provision to allow for energy production and storage. Staff acknowledges
that Florida’s geography does not avail it the same wind characteristics as that which is
experienced in other regions of the country for optimum wind energy production; however, it is
staff’s opinion that incorporating provisions for small wind energy systems (SWES) into the
code will expand educational programs and energy-saving options for property owners, as well
as reduce local energy costs and/or our carbon footprint.
In drafting regulations for SWES, staff took into consideration the current provisions for
Wireless Communication Facilities (WCF), particularly the “non-concealed freestanding
structures,” given that they are the most likely of all WCFs to have the potential for negative
impacts. Under the current regulations, non-concealed WCFs are allowed in the Planned
Industrial Development (PID), Light Industrial (M-1), Recreation (REC), and Planned Unit
Development (PUD) zoning districts. In all instances, WCFs are required to be separated from
each other by 750 feet. Other restrictions may apply (e.g., maximum height, minimum setbacks,
minimum acreage, etc.), depending on the location and size of the property; however, the tallest
structure may be constructed up to 150 feet in height. Because SWES have moving components,
staff determined that their provisions should be more restrictive, particularly with respect to
maximum allowable height.
Windmills are currently allowed (for aeration purposes) in commercial and mixed use districts
with a maximum height of 25 feet. The proposed regulations would not change the height
restriction, but would now allow windmills for energy production purposes as well as for
aerating lakes and ponds.
The most significant change proposed in connection with this amendment is the provision to
allow SWES in industrial (i.e., PID and M-1) and “miscellaneous” (i.e., PU and REC) zoning
districts with a maximum height of 75 feet. Each structure would have to meet minimum
setbacks (1-foot of setback from property line for each foot of structure height). Staff
understands that at least two (2) SWES may be proposed to Galaxy Elementary School in the
near future. Modifications to these regulations may be warranted once more is determined on
planned locations and specifications of the SWES at the rebuilt elementary school.
Changes to the Flood Prevention Requirements
For a community to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), it must adopt
and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed the minimum NFIP
standards and requirements. These standards are intended to prevent loss of life and property, as
well as economic and social hardships that result from flooding.
266 of 350
The City of Boynton Beach participates in the NFIP and regulates structures in the floodplain in
accordance with Chapter 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR). On January 15, 2013,
the State of Florida adopted a Model Floodplain Management Ordinance. As part of the City’s
initiative to achieve regulatory compliance, the proposed code amendment would add language
that is recommended by the Model Ordinance. The new language would add flood-related
definitions as well as reformatting and clarifying the City’s procedures in the administration of
the floodplain regulations. It should be noted that no new processes or substantive changes are
being proposed at this time; therefore, there would be no difference in how the City administrates
the flood prevention provisions should the proposed ordinance be adopted.
CONCLUSION / RECOMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the proposed code amendments. Overall, these amendments
encourage/promote business/economic development; and simplify regulations thereby making
the code more user-friendly.

Removal Management Plan; Authority, Priorities and Limitations.
ER:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) uses
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
a criteria policy to evaluate the eligibility of debris removal work from private property
under the Public Assistance Program. Sections 403(a)(3)(A) and 407 of the Stafford
Act, 42 U.S.C. 5170b and 5173, respectively, provide FEMA authority to fund debris
removal from private property provided that the State or local government arranges an
unconditional authorization for removal of the debris, and agrees to indemnify the
Federal government against any claim arising from the removal.
The regulations implementing Sections 403 and 407 of the Stafford Act at 44 CFR
206.224 establish the requirement that debris removal be in the “public interest” in order
to be eligible for reimbursement. “Public interest” is defined as being necessary to:
1. eliminate immediate threats to life, public health, and safety; or
2. eliminate immediate threats of significant damage to improved public or
private property; or
3. ensure economic recovery of the affected community to the benefit of the
community-at-large
Generally, debris removal from private property following a disaster is the responsibility
of the property owner. However, large-scale disasters may deposit enormous quantities
of debris on private property over a large area resulting in widespread immediate
317 of 350
threats to the public-at-large. In these cases, the State or local government may need
to enter private property to remove debris to: eliminate immediate threats to life, public
health, and safety; eliminate immediate threats of significant damage to improved
property; or ensure economic recovery of the affected community to the benefit of the
community-at-large. In these situations, debris removal from private property may be
considered to be in the public interest and thus may be eligible for reimbursement under
the Public Assistance Program (44 CFR 206.224).
In order to be eligible for FEMA reimbursement for debris removal from private property
the applicant (City) requesting assistance must demonstrate the legal basis as
established by law, ordinance, or code upon which it exercised or intends to exercise its
responsibility following a major disaster to remove disaster-related debris from private
property.

priorities and limitations.
319 of 350
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, THAT:
Section 1. Each Whereas clause set forth above is true and correct and incorporated
herein by this reference.
Section 2. That Chapter 10, entitled “Garbage Trash and Offensive Conditions”,
Article II, “Refuse, Garbage and Trash”, is hereby amended to create a new section as follows:
Sec. 10-32 Disaster-generated debris removal management plan; authority,
priorities and limitations.
The City Manager, or designee, shall have the authority, to remove disaster-generated debris
located within The City of Boynton Beach on city-owned property, county/state-owned roads,
and private roads after the declaration of any state of emergency pursuant to this article. The
removal of such disaster-generated debris is authorized only after a major disaster or a
catastrophic disaster and upon the determination by the City Manager, or designee, that such
removal is reasonable necessary to (i) eliminate immediate threats to life, public health, and
safety; (ii) eliminate immediate threats of significant damage to city property or facilities; or (iii)
ensure economic recovery of the affected community to the benefit of the community-at-large.
1. An immediate threat to life, public health, and safety shall be deemed to exist if any
one of the following conditions is satisfied:
-There is a significant likelihood that rescue vehicles will be significantly hindered
from rendering emergency services if the disaster-generated debris is allowed to
remain in place;
-The type of disaster-generated debris is such that it may reasonably cause disease,
illness, or sickness which could injure or adversely affect the health, safety, or general
welfare of those residing and working in the area if it is allowed to remain;
-The removal of the disaster-generated debris is necessary to effectuate orderly and
expeditious restoration of City-wide utility services including, but not limited to,
power, water, sewer, telephone and solid waste collection;
-The disaster-generated debris is determined by the City of Boynton Beach Building
Formatted: Justified
Official or Public Health Official to be dangerous or hazardous:
-The disaster-generated debris prevents garbage collection, thereby creating a public
health and safety hazard;
-The disaster-generated debris contains contaminants which have a reasonable
likelihood of leeching into the soil and/or aquifer of the City;
-The disaster-generated debris has a substantial negative impact upon public health
and safety by preventing or adversely affecting emergency repairs to buildings and/or
property;
-The disaster-generated debris presents a reasonable danger of being transported by
wind and/or water to neighboring properties, thereby increasing the cost of recovery
and removal;

-The disaster-generated debris is significantly likely to produce mold or may
otherwise cause disease, illness, or sickness which could injure or adversely affect the
health, safety, or general welfare of the public.
-The presence of the disaster-generated debris significantly adversely impacts the
City’s recovery efforts;
-The disaster-generated debris significantly interferes with drainage or water runoff,
so as to be a significant hazard in the event of significant rainfall;
-The sheer volume of the disaster-generated debris is such that it is impractical and
unreasonable to remove in an orderly and efficient manner absent action by the City;
or
-The type, extent and nature of the disaster-generated debris is such that it would
cause much greater damage if not removed immediately.
2. An immediate threat of significant damage to City property or facilities shall be
deemed to exist if the cost to remove the disaster-generated debris is less than the cost of
potential damage to the City property or facility, thereby being a cost effective removal.
3. In removing disaster-generated debris from county-owned or state owned property and
rights-of-way, the highest priority shall initially be given to responding to immediate
threats to life, public health, and safety; eliminating immediate threat of significant
damage to county and state property or facilities; and pushing or removing disaster-
generated debris from county/state rights-of-way to permit safe passage.
4. The removal of disaster-generated debris shall begin as soon as functionally feasible after
the occurrence of a major disaster or catastrophic disaster. The primary operation of the
city work forces will be to cut and toss disaster-generated debris depositing it along
county or state rights-of-way, thereby creating access to the major arterial roadways to
allow for expedited search and rescue efforts as well as recovery efforts. Upon
completion of the cut and toss operation, city work forces will begin the removal of other
disaster-generated debris. The owners of private property, or those individuals otherwise
in possession of private property, adjoining county/state rights-of-way may place
Formatted: Justified
disaster-generated debris in the county and or state right-of-way. The community-at-
large will be notified via press releases, City web-page, local media of the initial start
date for removal of disaster-generated debris by city work forces and will subsequently
be notified prior to the last removal pass by city work forces. After the last such removal
pass, city residents will be responsible for the removal of any remaining disaster-
generated debris in compliance with pre-disaster collection requirements whether they be
self-provided, provided through a private contractor, or provided through regular waste
disposable services.
5. The city shall, subject to the restrictions and requirements of F.S. 768.28, indemnify and
hold the Federal Government, its agencies and employees, harmless from any claims
arising from or based upon the exercise or performance of, or the failure to exercise or

6. The owners of private property, or those individuals otherwise in possession of private
property, shall be responsible for assuring that the placement of any disaster-generated
debris in city/county/state rights-of-way or on private roads for removal by City work
forces satisfies the following conditions:
a. The disaster-generated debris shall be neatly stacked, piled, or placed with
its leading edge lying within the three-foot roadside shoulder area on
either side of the travel lanes of the road.
b.
The disaster-generated debris shall be separated into stacks or piles of the
following types of debris as defined in this article:
1. Putrescent debris and mixed common household items.
2. Vegetative debris.
3. Construction and demolition debris.
4. White goods.
5. Hazardous household waste and electronic waste.
c. The disaster-generated debris shall be placed so that it is not under any
power lines, not on top of any water meters, or not within three feet of any
power poles, fire hydrants, vehicles, mailboxes, or fences.
7. Any damage to personal property by City work forces resulting from the placement of
disaster-generated debris in a manner inconsistent with this section shall be the
responsibility of the private property owner, or individual otherwise in possession of
private property, who misplaced such debris.
8. Any owners of private property, or any individuals otherwise in possession of private
property, who stack, pile, or otherwise place anything for removal on city/county/state

9. Removal of hazardous trees or hazardous limbs. The removal of disaster-generated
debris consisting of either hazardous trees or hazardous limbs overhanging or otherwise
endangering a private road shall be deemed to be the responsibility of the adjacent private
property owners and, as such, the city work forces shall not be authorized to remove or to
otherwise act upon such disaster-generated debris unless it is necessary to eliminate an

SECOND READING - PUBLIC HEARING - Amend Code of Ordinances, Chapter 13, Licenses,
Section 13-4, Classification and Fee Schedule to provide for a five percent (5%) increase in
Business Tax fees
ER:
The City’s Business Tax Receipts fees were last modified
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
on June 20, 2006, by Ordinance 06-049. Pursuant to Florida State Statute, 205.0535,
the governing body of a municipality may increase by ordinance the rates of local
business tax receipts by up to five percent (5%) every other year. Past increases were
proposed by staff in 2008, and 2009, and by the Financial Advisory Committee in 2010,
2011, and 2012, but were denied by the Commission due to the state of the economy.
As economic recovery continues to appear strong, staff is again recommending
Business Tax Receipt fees be increased as allowed by State Statute.
H?
An increase in revenues
OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES
contributes toward general fund balance, and a portion of the fees could be returned to
the business community through economic development incentives to spur retention,
growth and new business.
Should this request be approved, the typical annual increase in an individual business
tax fee would range between $4 to $15.
A few examples of this increase per selected business type are as follows: veterinarian,
$9.82; landscaper, $4.39; AC or roofing contractor, $12.23; manufacturing, $14.70 (for
324 of 350
an operation having between 6 and 10 employees); restaurant, 17 cents/seat and $3.58
st
minimum; bar, $24.47; retail store, 1 $5,000 in value - $4.88 (for every $1,000
increment – 26 cents); apartment building, 18 cents/room; nail salons and barber shops,
st
$3.68 / 1 table/chair and $1.00 / each additional table/chair; and physician, dentist,
engineer, architect, accountant, etc., $9.82.
FI:
FY 13/14 projected Business Tax Receipts revenues are estimated at
ISCAL MPACT
$1,300,000. A five percent (5%) increase in Business Tax Receipts would result in an
estimated $65,000 in additional revenue to the General Fund.

family residential rentals
Business Tax Receipts Procedure:
Every rental unit used for residential living purposes in the city must have a Certificate of Use
and unless otherwise exempt, must be issued a Business Tax Receipt. This includes rental
property four units or less, including single family residential rentals, condominiums, and mobile
homes.
st
Business Tax Receipts are issued for a period of twelve months, from October 1 to the
th
following September 30. They must be renewed annually. To avoid renewal late fees, rental
stth
Business Tax Receipt fees are payable by October 1. After January 30, late renewals require a
Code Compliance (interior and exterior) inspection of the property.
Whenever a rental property is sold or otherwise changes ownership, the new owner must do
the following:
(1) Apply for a new Certificate of use and rental Business Tax Receipt;
(2) Schedule an inspection of the rental with the Code Compliance Division.
If the inspection process should reveal Zoning, Building, Housing or Fire Code violations,
they must be corrected and a re- inspection made by the appropriate department. The owner is
given adequate time to correct any violations. All violations must be corrected before occupancy
will be approved.
Any property that has been found in violation by a code compliance board of the city shall be
required to be inspected after six (6) months from the date of the hearing, and again at twelve
(12) months after the date of the hearing in which the property was found to be in violation.
The owner of a property that has been found to be in violation by a code compliance board of
the city shall be required to pay an inspection fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) for each of the
inspections required. The required inspection fees shall be included as part of the administrative
costs assessed by the city and shall be included in any liens filed by the city.
NOTE: Fees may change from time to time by Ordinance of the City Commission. The
application for Certificate of Use and information forms for rental Business Tax Receipts are
available on line at the city's website and at the Development Services Division of City Hall, 100
335 of 350
East Boynton Beach Boulevard. It should be noted that post office boxes are not acceptable
addresses for mailing purposes, and actual street addresses are required on the application.
Designation of resident agent: No Certificate of Use and Business Tax Receipt shall be
issued by the city for a rental dwelling located on a rental premises unless the applicant therefor
designates in writing to the city the name, address, and local telephone number of the owner or
resident agent to receive service of notice of violation of this Code. The owner may designate as
his or her resident agent any natural person eighteen (18) years of age or older who is
customarily present at a business location within the city for the purposes of transacting business,
or who actually resides within the city. An owner may change his or her designation of a
resident by notifying the city in writing of the name, address, and local telephone number of the
person designated by the owner to replace the previous resident agent. Any notice of violation or
legal process which has been delivered or served upon the previous resident agent prior to the
receipt of the city of notice of change of the resident agent shall be deemed effective service. It
shall be the sole responsibility of the owner to appoint a reliable resident agent and to inform the
resident agent of his correct mailing address. Failure to do so shall be no defense to a violation
of this Code. No owner shall designate as a resident agent any person who does not expressly
comply with the provisions of this section.
The owner or the resident agent shall be deemed to be the “violator” as the term is used in F.
S. § 162.06(2). Service of notice of the resident agent shall be deemed service of notice of the
owner, tenant and violator.

EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION
SECOND READING - PUBLIC HEARING - Approving a one-year suspension of Garage Sale
Permit requirement
ER:
City Commission first approved issuance of Garage Sale
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
permits in May of 1983, in response to repeated garage sales occurring at a few
residential properties in the City.
Current regulations for Garage Sale permits are contained within Chapter 13, Licensing
and require a permit to be issued by the Building Official, with a limit of two (2) permits
per residence, per year. An average of 225 permits, at $5 per permit, are issued each
year generating an average of $1,125 annually. Enforcement of the permit requirement
is administered through the Police Department, Code Compliance division.
Residents are required to apply in person at City Hall to obtain Garage Sale Permits,
and are accepted through the Development Services intake process, with an average
wait time of 20 minutes. Once they meet with an Application Technician and are
registered in the system (a process which takes less than 5 minutes), they are directed
to the City Hall Casher to make payment. The entire process can take in excess of 30
minutes and the City does not fully recover staff costs with the existing permit fee.
Staff has researched Code Violations issued from January 2000 through June 2013,
and found that no Garage Sale violations have been issued in the 12.5 year period.
Review of regulations from the communities of West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, Boca
Raton, Wellington, Jupiter, Greenacres, Palm Beach County, Royal Palm Beach and
344 of 350
Lake Worth, indicate that just Lake Worth and Royal Palm Beach require a permit, with
only Royal Palm Beach charging a fee ($10).
Noting the absence of any violations over this extended period staff is recommending
suspending the Garage Sale Permit requirement for a period of one-year. During the
study period, activity will be monitored through complaints to determine the necessity for
permit.
H?
Residents will no longer be

required to drive to City Hall to apply for permit and wait in queue with customers
submitting for building permit, zoning permit, or business tax application. An estimated
1,500 vehicle miles traveled will be saved due to less trips to City Hall, in keeping with
the City’s Sustainability initiatives.
If staff review at the end of the study period determines the necessity to continue
registration for this activity, code revision to add provisions to Chapter 15, Offenses-
Miscellaneous would be considered.
FI:
Reduction of $1,125 in Garage Sale revenue.

1) Do not alter the existing regulations.

2) Direct staff to amend the Code
a) to remove the permit requirement without a temporary
suspension.
b) amend code to move administration provisions to Chapter 15,
under the direction of Police Department, Code Compliance
