MINUTES OF THE CITY COMMISSION DEVELOPMENT ORIENTATION WORKSHOP HELD IN THE PROGRAM ROOM AT THE LIBRARY 218 N. SEACREST BOULEVARD, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ON FRIDAY APRIL 29, 2016,A.M. PRESENT: Steve Grant, Mayor Mack McCray, Vice Mayor Justin Katz, Commissioner Christina Romelus, Commissioner Joe Casello, Commissioner Mayor Grant opened the workshop at 9:10 a.m. Lori LaVerriere, City Manager James Cherof, City Attorney Judith Pyle, Interim City Clerk Lori LaVerriere, City Manager, noted the session was broken into four components. The City is ramping up development and redevelopment efforts and having three new Commissioners provided an opportunity for staff to provide the Commission. with the background of the City's processes, redevelopment, Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) and the legal requirements to have the Plan in place. In attendance to make presentations was Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director, Andrew Mack, Development Director, Jim Cherof, City Attorney and Vivian Brooks, CRA Executive Director. Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director, explained he was hired in the 80s two years after the Growth Management Act was passed to complete and adopt the Comp Plan within the deadline established by the State. Attendees will learn about the development process, regulations, fulfilling a vision, public needs, new approaches to enacting the City's vision and regulations and how to amend regulations. Mr. Rumpf will explain the relationship between the Comp Plan and other plans. Some plans are adopted by the Comp Plan and others were initiated and commenced from the Comp Plan. Mr. Rumpf noted the history of the Comp Plan as contained in the meeting backup. The most recent amendment to the Comp Plan was in 2011. The Comp Plan is a guide and State mandated plan, although not all states require their municipalities to have one. The Comp Plan represents a thought-out, methodical and analytical process City staff developed, involving the public, to establish regulations. Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida ril 29, 2016 The Comp Plan is a manifestation of policies and requirements. It contains regulations, codes, processes and redevelopment plans are adopted by reference. Mr. Rumpf explained each element of the Comp Plan contains required Elements. The Recreation Master Plan must be consistent with the Recreation and Open Space element. The Utility Master Plan also must be consistent with the Utilities Element. The Future Land Use Element (FLUE) is one of the most important elements of the Comp Plan because it defines the land use classifications and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) assigns the classification to the parcels. It shows the distribution and locations of the classifications within the City. It contains policies and the intensity and density standards that trickle down to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs). The standards are also required by the State. The FLUE has text and maps. The text contains the goals, objectives and policies. Amendments can arise and if it affects the land, there may be a request to amend the map. Staff may also want to update policies and fulfill other State mandates to implement redevelopment plans and support City programs. Text amendments can only be amended by staff and the City Commission, usually as part of a development application. City -initiated FLUM amendments are made as needed. Changes are instituted by an Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) sent to the State. There is also a deadline to submit the reports to the State. The City provides evidence of the update to the Comp Plan in accordance of the EAR updates. An official State review process follows all EAR updates. There is an expedited, coordinated review of the text and maps. Small-scale amendments for property below 10 acres do not require a State review. The State also defines the process for an affected person to challenge the amendment within 30 days of approval. The LDRs have their own districts and maps which assign zoning to various parcels. There are areas within the City that are inconsistent with the FLUM and zoning maps. There are also parcels within the City that have split zoning if the property was previously subdivided and sold off, however, for the most part, the land use classifications correspond with the zoning. Mr. Rumpf reviewed a Future Land Use and Zoning chart which defined the land use classification, its associated density and the zoning. A conventional rezoning does not need a plan. It is not a Planned District such as, C-1, C-2, R-3, R-2. Planned Districts are suburban, mixed-use districts. The difference between a conventional and Planned District rezoning is the regulations that correspond to them are subjective. Planned Districts require a master plan. When the developer applies to the City for zoning for a property, staff is provided with a plan. The application process is simpler and less expensive. 4 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 Pros of Planned District re -zonings are it shows compliance with the objective and subjective LDRs at the time of application. It shows the public what it was applying for, if a Master Plan or Planned District. Cons are Planned District review requires design expertise. The CRA was helping staff to identify what they have in the City and a plan reflecting where they want to go. If there is a redevelopment plan, the City will change the future land use and zoning maps to the recommended districts and classifications. It slows implementation of the project because the Comp Plan will have to be amended and possibly approved by the State. One solution is to amend the LDRs. Mr. Rumpf advised City -initiated re -zonings without a master plan are permitted. Last year, staff had petitions that would be funded by tax credit programs from the State. A component from the application process is the zoning must be in place. Those applications did not have the zoning in place. Staff moved quickly and amended the maps for the Heart of Boynton project to amend the FLUM and Zoning Maps for the developer. Two such projects were Ocean Breeze East and MILK south. When the Comp Plan is updated, staff has one year to implement the Comp Plan and update the LDRs. LDRs contain uses/functions, permitted, conditional, accessory, and non -conforming uses. Mr. Rumpf explained the zoning regulations are in the LDR and on line. A matrix was reviewed for various uses. The matrix also contained footnotes and it defined which districts permit the use. A footnote informs the reader the location is in the Ocean Avenue Overlay and some regulations can cross over different zoning boundaries. Conditional uses have special characteristics and warrants specific review criteria to ensure it is compatible with other uses. Mr. Rumpf reviewed gas stations and explained once it is a permitted use, the footnotes will indicate it is a conditional use. Staff amended the regulations last year when it was discovered less than half of all gas stations in the City were non -conforming and if leveled during a hurricane, they would not be able to rebuild. Vice Mayor McCray inquired if the non -conforming gas station owners were contacted and learned they were. The review criteria for conditional uses had subjective and objective criteria and technical and analytical standards. The matrix compares the use for consistency with other plans, hazards, height and other items. It allows staff and the City Commission to have a higher degree of scrutiny and to apply conditions to ensure compatibility and the best project possible. The LDR has relief applications. Staff amended the regulations to minimize variances. Reasonable accommodations regarding substance abuse treatment uses and height variances were common reasons to request a variance. Vice Mayor McCray asked if sober homes were regulated in the City and could be placed anywhere. Mr. Rumpf explained sober homes are regulated as group homes and there are four types of group home classifications. The homes must adhere to City regulations and any other State and Federal regulations. There are limits how the City regulates them as to the City's current standards. All four types of sober homes are restricted to a maximum of six persons and staff discusses the process and made the zoning regulations consistent 3 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Bovnton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 with the Code and how it will be regulated. Vice Mayor McCray asked if there is a sober home with more than six residents, could it be report and learned it could. Commissioner Casello questioned how the limitation was set at six and learned the State set the maximum at six. There are different classes of homes and the City applied state regulations to all of the different classifications of group homes they have in the City. Staff will also enforce the distance separation requirements. The Supreme Court indicated that the City cannot regulate sober homes, process them or hold them to all the application processes conventional single-family homes. Attorney Cherof explained the concept of a residentially zoned neighborhood being intruded by non-residential uses on its surface is one of the most challenging issues that local governments have faced in a long time. When studying the issue as it pertains to federal law, they are not that different. It is the occupants that are different. Attorney Cherof advised he was working on a comprehensive review of the laws surrounding the issue. There is a conference on Monday regarding the matter, which he will attend, and the information would be forwarded to the Commission. Mr. Rumpf explained residents do not want them in the neighborhood. Staff has received inquiries if the home could be in the neighborhood, but has not received many complaints. Staff inserted the Supreme Court's basis for allowing the homes to operate in residential neighborhoods in the City's regulatory process, but is exploring the possibility of limiting them to a certain area and reinstituting a distance separation. There is an administrative adjustment process which evolved at the height of the real estate inflated period. Individuals could not relocate because they could not sell their homes, because of the value of homes. Homeowners asked to expand, but could not due to the setback requirements. Instead of processing variances, staff instituted the Administrative Relief process. Since then, staff has received far less requests for variances for setbacks. Community Design Appeals have subjective regulations. Staff wanted to allow professionals such as architects and designers the opportunity to build or design on a site that may exceed the regulations, to give flexibility in design. Height exceptions allow for accessory equipment to be on the roof that may exceed the maximum building height if it provides visual interest or enhances the building. It is not to increase square footage or accommodate more people. It only provides for appurtenances or necessary equipment for the building Reasonable accommodation was motivated by the Supreme Court to ensure the City has a process to review regulations so as not to deprive those with special needs housing or needed services. Those in substance abuse programs have been identified as handicapped and are protected under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). If there is a problem or someone is denied a request, there is a review process staff uses. n Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Bovnton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 The City has two waiver processes: one in the Engineering Department and the other in Planning and Zoning. This allows minor adjustments in the site plan details and standards when warranted. Mr. Rumpf explained the variance criteria is longstanding and based on original models which considers hardships or something unique to the property not caused by the owner or developer. When the regulations are applied to the property, it would not have the same effect on another property in the same zoning district. The variance gives relief from the regulations and allows the owner the right to develop the property in certain circumstances. Finances are not considered a hardship. Attorney Cherof had provided a memo regarding standards and how it carries to the rights of the property owner who is seeking the variance. The variance also involves adjacent property owners who think there will not be much deviation when they purchased their own property. It is a balancing act. Absent a variance, the property could be unusable. Variances seem to be rarely granted, but there are circumstances when they would be. Mr. Rumpf explained there is a variance log maintained by the City Clerk's Office. Attorney Cherof explained when variances arise, the property owner sometimes has the support of the adjacent property owners, but that is not the guiding principal as property owners change. Commissioner Casello commented surrounding property owners usually object to the variance requests. Non -conforming uses arise when the use existed for a long time. When the zoning changed and the use is no longer permitted or the use is not allowed at that location because of the zoning, it becomes a non -conforming use. Non -conforming uses are protected and can operate in perpetuity as long as the owner maintains an active Business Tax Receipt and maintains the business function. Staff could determine if a non -conforming use should use its grandfathered or vested status, but they are difficult to monitor. Non -conforming uses have restrictions such as maintaining the property and repairs and general maintenance up to 25% of value of property per year. If the Business Tax Receipt lapses for six months, the business loses its vested status. One example was Amerigas on Federal Highway. The company did not maintain its Business Tax Receipt and lost their vested status. Mr. Rumpf explained non- conforming uses are intended to diminish through attrition. Vice Mayor McCray asked if Amerigas was notified it lost its vested use status and learned they were notified. Attorney Cherof explained staff watches non -conforming uses closely. Schools are also under watch as there are schools in industrial zones. Due to economic initiatives, staff removed churches and schools from those zoning districts and allowed them in others. The LDRs were rewritten in 2010 and no LDR is ever complete. There have been over 28 amendments since 2011 affecting over 25 different sections of the Code. Things change and the City has to comply with mandates and accommodate new businesses. 5 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Bovnton Beach. Florida ril 29, 2016 One such change pertained to breweries. New businesses correct deficiencies or glitches in the Code and it can be a trial and error process. One sustainable provision that was added was to prohibit patches of grass associated to a project that has no value other than decorative purposes. Regulations encourage xeriscaping, water wise, drought tolerant plant species, but they allowed sod. They amended regulations to prohibit sod and limited it to open space and retention areas. Instead of sod, plants are used. Plants do not need to be cut and fertilized every week. When established, the plants do not need very much water. Amendments maintain compliance with County, State or Federal laws and regulations. Staff is reviewing regulations to allow breweries to intensify and expand operations by adding silos for storage of grain. Staff was reviewing its use/merchandise regulations due to an interest in the City. Staff receives inquiries about auto sales and staff was contemplating increasing provisions without having the City be burdened with large parking lots full of vehicles and staff was looking to decrease the minimum size of an Infill Planned Unit Development facilitating infill. Mr. Rumpf concluded his presentation. Mayor Grant recessed the workshop for a 15 -minute break at 10:13 a.m. The workshop was reconvened at 10:28 a.m. Mr. Rumpf explained there was a question about the relationship between the Comp Plan zoning map and the zoning regulations and advised if there is a conflict, the Comp Plan prevails. It is important to maintain consistency so the Comp Plan is thoroughly implemented through the zoning regulations. If a business plan or activity or a recommended zoning is inconsistent with the FLUM, the FLUM prevails. If there is a property that has a split land use and zoning, the owner would have to petition to make it consistent and there have been City -initiated applications to amend the inconsistencies, although this has occurred in frequently. Andrew Mack, Director Development and City Engineer, explained the Development Department is comprised of Development Services, Community Improvement, Building and Planning and Development (P&D) Divisions. The Development Services Division handles most of the administrative functions including issuing Certificates of Use, Business Tax Receipts, customer service interactions, intake for the Building and P&D, and fees for permits and applications. Community Improvement handles Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP), the Energy Edge program funded through the Green Building Program which is used to revitalize housing stock and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the economic development grants in the form of rent subsidy and interior build -out funds. The Building Division provides for building safety, enforces the Florida Building Code, conducts plan reviews, inspections, investigates complaints of unpermitted activities, and manages the Community Rating System and the National Flood Insurance Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Bovnton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 program. The Division also serves as the City's damage assessment teams during national disasters. Planning and Zoning is responsible for the LDRs, the development approval process. They conduct plan reviews as part of the building permit process, update the Comp Plan, maintain City demographics, oversee the street designs and streetscapes and manage historic preservation. Mr. Mack explained he also serves as the City Engineer. As a hybrid employee, he works with Public Works. His team is comprised of Patsy Grissom, Development Services Coordinator; Tia Stokes, Development Services Supervisor; Octavia Sherrod, the Community Improvement Manager; Shane Kittendorf, Building Official; and Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director. Mr. Mack explained May is Building Safety Month and he would introduce Mr. Kittendorf to the City Commission. Mr. Mack explained DART is the Development Application Review Team, which Planning and Zoning (P&Z) oversees. The process involves nine City departments, the CRA, Palm Tran, Palm Beach County Traffic, and the Palm Beach County School District. They have a meeting to review the plan and each reviewer provides comments back to P&Z. An architectural review is part of the DART. Mr. Rumpf explained P&Z has a trained architect and urban designer in-house that review the plans. The reviews are conducted, comments submitted back to staff and a full report is developed which goes back to the applicant. Vice Mayor McCray commented Commissioners get phone calls from planners and developers asking why the process takes so long and now understood why. Mr. Mack explained he worked for Boynton Beach and another city and the Boynton Beach process is one of the best he has seen as far as streamlining the process. There is a checklist staff uses to determine if the comments were addressed or needed to be revised. After the meeting, staff will know if the project moves forward or another DART meeting is needed. The applicant needs to provide 12 plans. A minor site plan modification needs four sets of plans. Mr. Rumpf explained they are moving towards an electronic application process. When there is consensus the project meets the criteria; it goes forward with a staff recommendation for approval or denial. The Planning and Zoning Director is the technical advisor to department heads and the City Commission. He is the principal agent for planning activities in the City and coordinates the various plans with the Planning and Development Advisory Board that makes recommendations to the City Commission. The P&D Board reviews development proposals to ensure consistency with the City's ordinances, regulations, LDR's and for consistency with the Comp Plan. The Board reviews boundary line changes, zoning districts and FLUM classifications, and any changes to the text of the LDRs or Comp Plan. The Board reviews designs, aesthetics, and the development's quality and sustainability. VA Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida 1 29, 2016 The City Commission is the local planning agency as defined by the State and the final decision maker on behalf of the City and is responsible for ensuring it complies with the Comp plan. If an applicant has a problem with a standard or interpretation of the Code, the applicant can appeal to the Planning and Zoning Director and the City Commission has the final say. If still aggrieved, the applicant could Mr. Mack explained there are many types of applications. Minor and major site plan applications, new site plans, conditional use, community design appeals, variances and others which fit in the process. The minor site plan application is an administrative process handled by staff Commissioner Casello inquired if the Riverwalk process was going through the process. Mr. Mack explained the project was proceeding through DART which typically takes four to six weeks. Commissioner Romelus asked if the project could be expedited and learned it could not. Mr. Mack explained there are specific timelines and if the applicant does not meet the timeline, the project does not move forward. The total process lasts about four months depending on if it is a small or large scale project. The project proceeds to a Planning and Development Board meeting involving public notice. The project is noticed and advertised in the newspaper. There are signs placed on the project site informing the public of the meeting and letters to surrounding property owners within 400 feet are mailed. The Board discusses the project and opens the floor to public comment. Minutes are taken and the Board will make a recommendation to the City Commission to either approve or deny the request. When the recommendation is made the P&D Board can impose additional conditions of approval. If there are any DART items left on the list, they become conditions of approval. The item proceeds to the City Commission. There are two readings of an ordinance if there is a land use amendment. Public input usually occurs on the first reading. Most applications require one reading, but a small-scale amendment would need two readings. If the City Commission approved the item, the project proceeds to the Building Division for the permitting process. Staff sometimes will allow plans to come in concurrent with the building permit application if the applicant requests an expedited process. When submitted, the project goes through the building plan review. All the trades review the plans and comments are made and sent back to the applicant and they would continue with the resubmittals. Staff prefers to see only one round of comments, but sometimes more are needed. Permit issuance is contingent on having Land Development and Health Department permits, if applicable. The City Commission approval process takes about a month and the Building Permit process takes three to four months. Mr. Rumpf explained it could be shorter or changed. There are circumstances when staff can deviate from the timeline. Staff has to wait for the minutes, and then they can expedite. Commissioner Casello inquired if a building permit can be extended for 18 3 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 months and learned it could. A site plan can be extended through an application process for an unlimited number of times, as long as the application is made before expiration of the permit. Mr. Mack explained there are statutes in place that automatically grant extensions to projects. Attorney Cherof explained recent examples were the governor signing an emergency declaration regarding recent storms and water issues that occurred in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. The executive order declared an emergency to extend these types of issues. Vice Mayor McCray asked how refunds are handled if an applicant pays the permit fees and then changes their mind and learned no refunds are given. Mr. Rumpf clarified if a review had taken place on any of the application stages, no refund is given, but if a review did not take place and the application was withdrawn, it is possible to get a refund. Vice Mayor McCray asked if the City paid a fee for the Water Treatment Plant. Mr. Mack responded the City did and it was accomplished by an interdepartmental transfer. It depended on how the contract was structured with the contractor. Government agencies have to pay fees too. Mr. Mack explained the Building Department collects fees for several different departments and agencies such as impact fees for Palm Beach County, Fire fees, Planning and Zoning Review fees, Building fees, and Capacity Reservation Fees assuming all comments are resolved and approved. Mr. Mack explained Public Works handles the plat recordation process which occurred with Casa Del Mar. It is usually associated with a subdivision and can occur during the plan review process. A preliminary plat is developed which goes through the same DART process. When completed, the plat goes to the City Commission with a recommendation for approval, and when approved, it is recorded. The Property Appraisers Department assigns the different parcel control numbers, but no work or permits are issued until the plat is recorded. The next process is the Land Development Permit for site infrastructure handled at the same time as the plat review. A Building permit cannot be issued until the Land Development permit is approved. Pursuant to City Code, this can be done in advance of the plat or the Land Development permit. Developers can clear the property, remove trees and exotic vegetation prior to issuance of the permit. Attorney Cherof explained when plats go to City Commission for approval, while they are rarely noticed they have significant weight as to the rights of the property owners and the residents living adjacent to the platted areas. Plats have language that creates binding rights that bind the City to perform an obligation or a private property owner. The most recent discussion the City had regarding plats was with property owners that live on private canals. Vice Mayor McCray asked if this was the case in Florida where trees were removed and they had to replant the trees. He asked who made the decision Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Bovnton Beach. Florida ril 29, 2016 whether mangos were protected. Mr. Mack explained individuals have to submit a request for a clearing and grubbing permit and submit plans, a survey, and an environmental review for environmentally sensitive lands. Outside agencies would be involved such as the Department of Environmental Protection. Staff normally asks for a tree management plan to protect or restore trees. The City's Forester would review the plan along with Planning and Zoning staff. The Utilities Division handles water and sewer approvals which would result in the issuance of a Health Department permit. Utilities review the plans, if approved, the applicant has to pay the water and sewer capacity facility charges that may be due and the application is signed off and sent to the Health Department who issues the permit. Building permits are always contingent on this review. Mr. Mack explained the Certificate of Use and Business Tax Receipt is issued after the project is constructed. The applicant must submit for the Certificate of Use and Business Tax Receipt for the businesses operating on the premises. Typical delays in the process result when there is an incomplete submittal packet, when comments are not properly addressed, the contractor or designer is unfamiliar with the process or design teams do not timely revise plans. Delays for issuance of a land Development Permit could occur due to project financing. The Santorini project at Renaissance Commons was an example. Delays also arise from the sale or shopping of a project to another developer/party. The Cortina/Blackrock project, which will be constructed behind Best Buy was sold to RAM Development, who was taking over the rental portion of the project. Mr. Mack explained staff wants to see the projects completed. They do not have an opinion on who constructed the project, but there have been instances when the City Commission imposed conditions the new owner did not know about. The only thing is the owner has to document they are the new owner of the project, and they continue progress on the project. Commissioner Katz asked if the City ever held the original developer liable for a condition of approval that the new developer did not follow. Attorney Cherof responded affirmatively as long as the representations were made in writing or in the public record. Attorney Cherof clarified the City has sent letters advising the original developer made representations, and a copy of the record is sent, and received cooperation in the past. The worst scenario is to file lawsuit. Mr. Mack explained the City has entered into developer's agreements which would allow breaches to go to court, or for the City to act as if the developer defaulted and ask for damages. The conditions of approval are binding on the property, not the owner. With the conditions of approval and/or development agreements, the conditions run with the land. Attorney Cherof explained the Development Order lists the conditions of approval, staff conditions and any conditions added by the P&D Board, which if adopted are binding. Vice Mayor McCray commented 20 years ago, Home Depot wanted to locate their project at its present site and Leisureville did not want the project. Leisureville also did 10 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 not want the Tradewinds project, which the City denied. The City was sued by Tradewinds and it took 20 years to pay the settlement. The property was correctly zoned and the developer had every right to develop the property. He commented the City must be careful. Mayor Grant recessed the workshop for a five-minute break at 11:07 a.m. and reconvened the workshop at 11:15 a.m. Jim Cherof, City Attorney, explained the Legal Department works with staff during all stages of development to ensure the rights of applicants, surrounding property owners and the City are protected. Attorney Cherof discussed the City Commission's capacity to conduct a legislative or quasi-judicial hearing. A legislative hearing is when the City Commission establishes a public hearing process. Specific laws are enacted as ordinances contained in the Code, the LDRs, or the City Commission can establish a policy to allow staff to make changes and bring them back to the City Commission for approval. Ordinances provide for a process for the Commission to follow to conduct that aspect of business in the public view and allows for the public to participate which is why two public hearings are required to adopt an ordinance. In most instances, the City Commission only has an obligation to conduct a public hearing on the second reading of the ordinance, but in the past, the City has allowed the public to express their opinions on matters of significant importance, on first reading and relaxed the rule to only take public input at second reading. Modifications to the LDRs are done by ordinance in a legislative capacity. Public comments are taken and considered, but generally there is no dialogue. It was only to receive the public point of view without debate. Attorney Cherof advised many people are uncomfortable making a public comment, and if a Commissioner debates the issue with them, it could be a situation the person would not come back to express comment. Public settings are not the only way the Commission could receive public input on legislative matters. Commissioners can take input privately; they can meet with citizens, take phone calls, emails, or text messages. Commissioners can do anything they need to do to educate themselves on a matter coming before them for a legislative purpose. The recommendation is to preserve text and email documents. The ITS Department maintains the records of most, if not all email exchanges between City email and constituents, and that is why Commissioners should use their City email address as it is a public record. There is no prohibition about exchanging information. In a quasi-judicial proceeding, Commissioners are required to disclose contacts made. As a legislator, disclosure is not necessary or legally required. If there was a lawsuit over language in an ordinance and Commissioners had their deposition taken, they would not be required or compelled to answer a question on what their thought process was why they voted a certain way or be required to disclose communications. It is a form of legislative 11 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida ril 29, 2016 privilege that exists when acting in a legislative capacity. Not so in quasi-judicial capacities. Attorney Cherof explained there are a few exceptions as to what can be adopted such as development regulations other than ordinances that are contained in the Statute. In the Commission's legislative role, the City Commission has always set a rule on the amount of time the public can express comment which is the three-minute rule. In a legislative setting, the Commission can maintain the d6cor of the meeting and length of the meeting by restricting the public's amount of time to speak. There were occasions in the past, judging by the number of people in the room, the Commission would know how long public comment will last and the Commission can reduce the three-minute rule at their discretion. In the Commission's legislative role there is much discretion, if the Commission adopts something legislative in nature, it is unlikely a court would reverse it unless it is discriminatory or it violates some other constitutional provision of law. The Commission is exercising its belief about what they deem is in the best interest of the community and it is unlikely a court would reverse the decision on a legislative level. One example of a legislative action of the Commission is to provide for the land use designation of property. The City Commission needs to decide, in consultation with the public, what is best for the citizens of Boynton Beach and determine what the land use or future land use of a property would be. No court would examine for very long or reverse the designation on the land use designation for a property unless it was discriminatory or was unconstitutional. Quasi-judicial means not under the strict rules of evidence; it is not like a court proceeding with specific requirements about how documents would be produced or marked. There is more flexibility and important elements. A quasi-judicial proceeding must include notice to the public of a meeting that would occur. There were times the Commission continued the meeting if they were unsure notice was received in a timely manner or the citizens did not have time to gather their thoughts or organize together in a consolidated manner, as could occur in a neighborhood matter. There are basic standards of fairness. The participants in a quasi-judicial meeting are the applicant and affected property owners. The public can introduce themselves, make statements and cross examine if desired within the structure of the hearing itself. An applicant in a quasi-judicial proceeding or an opponent should have enough time as they reasonably need to present their information and they are not governed by the three-minute rule although the Commission can make adjustments. The standard for quasi-judicial review is there must be competent substantial evidence to support what the Commission wants to do and the evidence must be the basis of the decision, not personal like or dislike of the project. There should be enough evidence within the hearing to rely on so if challenged in court, the Commission could present the proceedings to the court. The Commission could request staff or those opposed to the 12 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Bovnton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 project to provide more information or the Commission can table the proceeding to allow for development of more information. Quasi-judicial rules apply to a number of proceedings such as variances, rezonings, appeal of administrative decisions of the building official and planning director, master and site plan approvals, modification of site plans, relief from the design code, conditional use and site plan extensions, abandonments and other development activities announced in advance as being quasi-judicial. The hearings usually have site specific considerations and testimony is taken under oath at quasi-judicial proceedings. A quasi-judicial proceeding can occur before another board, which occurs at the P&D Board and any evidence and record becomes part of the record of the City Commission meeting. The Commission could allow the presentation be made all over a second time, but it is a short cut. Hearings can take an hour or two or more. Before a quasi- judicial proceeding begins, staff establishes the hearing was properly noticed, which the City Clerk handles in conjunction with the Planning Department. The notice is specific, requiring notice be mailed to property owners with in a 400 -feet radius of the subject property, and in other instances via newspaper notice. The City Commission can reconsider prior decisions of quasi-judicial hearings. If heard at the City Commission meeting, it can be reconsidered at the same hearing that was just concluded or at the next hearing. There have been few occasions it was reconsidered beyond that time period and there are notice requirements. If the City Commission conducts three or four-hour public hearings on a quasi-judicial nature, makes a decision and later decides to reconsider it and conduct a hearing, there is some consideration that some information was provided to the City Commission outside the scope of a quasi-judicial hearing. Individuals are suspect of that activity and the rules provide for it and quasi-judicial orders do not take effect until next meeting. Commissioner Casello queried if only a member who voted on the prevailing side was able to ask for reconsideration and learned it was. It was a Roberts Rules issue and the City Commission could write a new rule. The only exception that was permitted was a member of the City Commission who was not present and did not vote is deemed to have voted on the prevailing side and can motion to reconsider. if reconsidered, the process starts all over. Boards can only motion to reconsider only at the same meeting it was heard. The Mayor is responsible to ensure the hearing is called to order, the subject matter that is quasi-judicial is announced, the swearing in of witnesses occurs and if needed, the Commission can establish at the beginning of the hearing a reasonable rule for presentations. No court will allow plaintiffs or defendants to take as much time as they want and they will dictate the time frame to be used. The Commission will ask the applicant or their representative to announce they will make a presentation on behalf of the applicant or anyone else for the record. The applicant always goes first. Sometimes the Development staff has explained what the case is about, but the applicant has the 13 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Bovnton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 burden of proof and evidence to initiate a hearing and establish why they are entitled to a hearing. After the applicant presents their case supporters are asked to testify or make statements. The City Commission can intervene at any point with questions. The opponents of the application are then asked to make presentation and then staff makes comment. Staff has the opportunity to ask questions just like anyone else. It can get out of control and applicants are requested to be prepared to answer questions. It is important the public who asked the question get the question answered Vice Mayor McCray noted 200 people stand up to speak and say the same thing. He inquired if they have to hear everyone speak. Attorney Cherof responded they did not. The Chair or any member of the Board can ask how many people agree with the testimony of John Doe and people raise their hand. The Chair could ask those individuals to not come to the podium to express the same point of view. Most people will agree. Anyone else who wants to make a different statement can speak. It can be controlled. Quasi-judicial proceedings have restrictions regarding communications with the Commission and that is why the Commissioners have to disclose those contacts. Members of the public do not know who a Commissioner spoke with on a matter important to them and the public should be made aware of the discussion. The disclosure of who the discussion was with and a generic statement about the discussion should occur. The Commissioner will not testify, but the public who is concerned can ask the applicant more about the communication. The public thinks there are a lot of discussions occurring and that is why it is so important to disclose them and be transparent and in the Sunshine. Staff and the Legal Department document communications to document their role was advisory and staff's role was instructional and not intended to steer a conversation one way or the other. Best practices would be for Commissioners to document the communications by handwritten notes, text or email and not delete them. If a Commissioner wants to dump messages, they should call IT to ensure their backup system is functioning. Commissioners should be alert for individuals in the community who act as a conduit between members to signal what another City Commission member is thinking which is a violation of the Sunshine Law. The State Attorney does not prosecute the public who does that. It is official A or B who is in trouble for allowing the conduit to communicate. Vice Mayor McCray commented if a Commissioner met with a developer but does not say they will or will not vote in favor of a project, it would be appropriate to indicate the property has been approved for that and nothing else. Attorney Cherof explained Commissioners can meet with developers and indicate how they will vote if they have enough information, but Commissioners do not always know. Mayor Grant noted if someone asked about development occurring, Commissioners can respond these are the facts as they see them and as they learn more facts about the `L! Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 project, Commissioners can change their mind. The public holds Commissioners responsible for flip flopping. If a Commissioner early on, was in a position to make a decision about a project without hearing evidence, if challenged in court and not supported by the evidence, the City would have a hard time winning the case. Commissioner Casello mentioned Commissioners have City issued cellphones. He asked if there were other email addresses on their phone if the City could explore them and learned they could not. Commissioners are the gatekeepers of what is on their devices and most devices have private and public information. The gatekeeper will produce only what is public. Attorney Cherof advised when acting in a legislative or quasi-judicial role, the City Commission must be cognizant of the rights of other people involved. Property owners or property buyers have property rights, under both federal, constitutional, state constitutional and state statutory law and consistent under the laws the Commissioners helped the Development Department write. If they meet all the requirements, it is very difficult not to allow them to build. There are very few exceptions. People who object to development have equal rights under Florida Law. There is a State law called the Bert J. Harris Private Property Protection right, and a case pending in the Florida Supreme Court that shifts the rights away from the property owner to the adjacent property owners. An example would be a variance. An adjacent property owner may have a vested interest in the outcome of granting or not granting a variance more than the owners. The case may be a major turning point in Florida Law depending on the outcome. Commissioner Katz asked what actions would be taken in the event property owners develop a project and the Commission vote to reject it. Attorney Cherof responded the developer could attempt to persuade a Commissioner that was on the prevailing side of the motion to deny to make a motion to reconsider and revisit the issue giving more information. The developer could also appeal and take their record to court to file a Writ of Certiorari asking the court to review the record of the proceeding before the City Commission. The court would decide if the applicant was provided due process and if there was substantial competent evidence to support the denial. Attorney Cherof explained the City has prevailed in those challenges in the past, but appeals are time consuming, costly and the matter could come back to the City Commission for approval. If there is a deprivation of a constitutional right, an applicant can exhaust their Writ of Certiorari appeal and look for monetary damages under the Bert J. Harris Property Protection Act. These proceedings take months and years to conclude and the property may be a key property in the long-range development of an area. Commissioner Katz questioned if the applicant can file to recover damages equal to the revenue or profits lost during the time the case was litigated and learned they could. 15 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 Vice Mayor McCray had alluded to Boynton Terrace earlier in the meeting. These types of cases can be very costly. It financially handicapped the City for 20 years. Mayor Grant recessed the workshop at 19:50 a.m. and reconvened the workshop at 12:10 p.m. Vivian Brooks, CRA Executive Director, explained redevelopment plans are not plans the City just comes up with. Redevelopment areas are tools for cities and counties to use under the Statutes to help improve certain areas. The original CRA area was 657 acres and was established in 1982. It met a Finding of Necessity for Slum and blight conditions and lack of affordable housing and a Plan was adopted in 1984 which focused in the downtown core. The CRA is a special district that captures tax dollars to reinvest in an area. It revitalizes an area without raising taxes, they can issue bonds, is a separate legal entity from the City. The CRA area was expanded in 1987 to 1,650 acres. The first redevelopment plan created an identity for the downtown by enhancing the attractiveness on main corridors and created opportunities for 7-10 story buildings in the Downtown. The Plan provided for active pedestrian areas, provided for perpetual public use of the waterfront, and protected the community from the impacts of the Florida East Coast railroad. The Plan included land use recommendations, encouraged mixed-use development, future civic uses downtown, and solicited major redevelopment projects to serve as a catalyst to encourage development east of US 1 for the waterfront. The Plan included future parking and analyzed utility services for capacity and installation of underground utilities. Ms. Brooks clarified the CRA asks developers to include the utilities in their project, and they reduce development impacts on single-family neighborhoods. Three major projects were proposed for the first plan, which was waterfront, specialty retail residential projects, and a hotel and marina project. There are four plans the CRA works under: the Heart of Boynton (HOB), the Federal Highway Corridor Plan, the Ocean District Community Redevelopment Plan and the Downtown Vision and Master Plan. Some of the plans overlap, but all the plans were adopted into the Comp Plan. The HOB area was added to the CRA District in 1988, and the Plan was adopted in 2001. Staff updated the economic analysis for the area in 2006. The Plan was fully updated in 2014 and it contained seven distinct neighborhoods which were the Model Block, MLK Commercial Center on MLK and Seacrest Boulevards, Ocean Breeze East, the Cottage District, the Sara Simms Park Expansion, and Ocean Breeze West. Request for Proposals for the Cottage District, Ocean Breeze West and MLK Commercial Center. `[:1 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 Commissioner Caseilo asked if the projects will require tax credits. Ms. Brooks responded the Cottage District will not need the credits and she was meeting with a developer next week. Vice Mayor McCray commented on Sara Simms Park and was aware there are funds set aside for the park. The Park was plagued with ATVs and citizens were asking what was happening. Vice Mayor McCray suggested funds should not be spent on the park until they get a handle on the ATVs. He asked why people were riding in the Park and was told it was their Park. Vice Mayor McCray informed the residents it was the City's Park. He preferred not to fence it off, but until they can determine how to prevent the ATVs from being ridden on the property, nothing would occur. Ms. Brooks explained some of the property was privately owned and staff was trying to acquire land on a willing seller basis as more land was needed. It would be difficult to enforce without spending money on fencing or bollards. Vice Mayor McCray explained they could have a lawsuit if someone drove into the fence or the bollard. Commissioner Romelus asked about vandalism. Ms. Brooks explained vandalism occurred at the Hester Center which was not in the CRA District. Ms. LaVerriere explained the City was pricing surveillance systems, and vandalism was a recurring problem. There is difficulty restricting access at night. The City tried accordion shutters but they were damaged and something stronger was needed. Commissioner Casello noted when the Center was vandalized they spray painted the football helmets. Staff was doing all they could to get the word out on the street and bring in the individuals who vandalized. Vice Mayor McCray explained the community should not be disheartened. There are good people living in the area. Ms. Brooks reviewed the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment area added to the Plan in 1998 and she explained long corridors are difficult to develop. The Plan was for the entire length of Federal Highway. The Plan was adopted in 2001 and was re- reviewed in 2006. There are five planning areas. The Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Plan created two land use categories which are mixed-use high (MU -H) and mixed-use low (MU -L). Mixed-use high was in the center and why Casa Costa and Marina Village are taller. The area is very limited, and most of it is not developable because of the Marina and the mangroves. Additionally, the State has a density cap. Ms. Brooks emphasized eliminating auto -oriented uses in the MU -H area was a goal because there is a future commuter rail station downtown. It was anticipated at some point there would not be drive through uses. Drive through uses are not permitted as a single -use in the Downtown. Staff sought to create a live work and play environment in one area that is pedestrian friendly. They do not yet have a form based Code for some areas. Areas one and five would have a height restriction of 45 feet. Riverwalk would be in area five. Area four permits MU -L and some nodes will allow MU -L three which was Las Ventanas. Mixed-use Low has a total height of 75 feet which is seven stories. The Ocean District Plan is a small area just west of the FEC. It is a cultural, pedestrian friendly area north of and fronting Boynton Beach Boulevard, including the Publix Plaza. 17 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 It is a smaller scale and not nearly as intense as some of the other downtown areas. Staff revisited the Boynton Town Square Plan and had a lot of public input due to the Old High School. The Downtown Vision and Master Plan covered a broader area including the Heart of Boynton, Ocean District and Downtown. Staff had revisited the Plan and was looking to provide more form. It would include a Transit Oriented District (TOD) which would accommodate commuter rail. Staff also planned for a cultural civic campus. Ocean Avenue was the cultural area with the Avenue of the Arts. A neighborhood commercial center was planned for MILK Jr. Boulevard as was a linear park on the west side along the FEC. Recent efforts included consolidating the plans into one coordinated plan so investors or developers will know which plan to look at and what was planned for the future of the area. The Consolidated Plan would be included as part of City's Strategic Plan. Staff reviewed existing conditions and the demographic and building conditions. Six planning districts were identified. The Industrial Craft District, west of 1-95 on Industrial Avenue was an emerging art area, and the area could be improved with sidewalks. The Downtown, Cultural and Boynton Beach Boulevard areas needed to be planned and the HOB and Federal I-lighway north and south. Staff held a public workshop on March 2nd in Chambers and will hold another one, which will go to the CRA Advisory Board in draft form, then to the CRA Board and City Commission, followed by a review for consistency of the LDRs. A rendering of the proposed plan for Boynton Beach Boulevard was viewed. Commissioner Casello inquired about CRA boundary lines and what the criteria to expand or shrink the CRA District would be. Ms. Brooks explained the area can be expanded by showing conditions of slum and blight in accordance with F.S. 163.3. The City and CRA Bond counsel advised the area cannot be reduced because there is outstanding bond debt. There are two bonds and when they were issued, they were predicated on the 1,650 acres. Ms. Brooks advised the CRA will sunset in 2030 and the bonds will end in 2029. Commissioner Casello asked if another section of the City has slum and blight, if the City could have a second CRA District. Ms. Brooks advised they could. The same CRA Board would oversee the second district. The CRA has one district, but areas were added at different times so the tax base would be different. The CRA receive 34% of its revenues from the County. Ms. LaVerriere inquired how the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is calculated. Ms. Brooks explained when the CRA area was identified, the taxable value for that area for that year was frozen and those monies go to the City every year. Whatever increase occurs naturally or through development has to come back to the CRA. If adding an area, such as the HOB, it is a new taxable base. That money goes to the City that year. Ms. Brooks explained it is a reduction in value to the City, but they would still receive their base value. The County handles financing the same way; the County retains the areas base value and will give the CRA the difference. Ms. Brooks explained they have accomplished a lot of big projects because of it and staff handled the Agency's own public improvement projects. m Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 Mayor Grant opened Public Comments. Harry Woodworth, INCA President, representing 10 communities in the CRA on Federal Highway appreciated the presentation. He asked about the four corners where the Riverwalk Project will go and the zoning. The northwest side has Las Ventanas that has four stories on Federal Highway and five stories on the tracks. The southwest side has Publix in the Sunshine Square and there was nothing there over four stories tall which he did not think would change soon. The northeast corner is Bermuda Cay which is four stories and the zoning would not change soon. He commented the Riverwalk corner is zoned for 45 feet, and until the Commission changes the zoning on the recommendation on a 10 -year old update to a 15 -year old plan, the zoning is 45 feet. It takes Commission action based on recommendations that were made and adopted 10 years ago to change it. Mr. Woodworth commented when Mr. Mack reviewed the P&D process, there was no public input until the P&D meeting. He opined the P&D meeting followed a year of interaction between the developer and staff and by the time citizens are notified of a project, it is too late and it is a big issue. He met with the developer last Friday and he thought the developer was frustrated he was at the meeting. He commented when zoning is not in place, development is all over the map. He asked the Commission to consider how the citizens feel when a developer comes in with anything and gets three votes to approve it. Citizens have no clue about a project until it is practically done. He contended the horse and cart were switched. The Federal Highway Corridor Study was a 15 -year old Plan updated in 2006, with recommendations adopted via Ordinance. The official zoning is 45 feet. Commissioner Katz asked when the property was zoned to its current zoning. Mr. Rumpf explained it was zoned prior to 1975 or 1976. Mr. Woodworth noted the Corridor study was a 15 -year old study that was updated 10 years ago and he questioned if circumstances have changed. Ms. LaVerriere explained that was the purpose of the Consolidated Plan. A consolidation would make it easier to understand and update as well. It is an 18 -month to two-year project and development is starting to increase. Mr. Woodworth explained that was part of the frustration because citizens do not know what is coming or where. Mayor Grant asked if staff could change the notification to the public. Attorney Cherof responded they could. Mr. Mack explained there was four to six weeks between the date of submittal and the P&D Board meeting. Developers come in all the time and meet with them regarding ideas or conceptual plans. Riverwalk initially met with them on or before 2015. There is no process before the submittal starts. The way to accomplish what Mr. Woodworth preferred was through the updated Consolidated Plan public meeting. The earlier the public is notified, the more the risk something will change. Currently, applications before the P&D Board provides 10 days' notice. The applications are advertised in the newspaper, there are signs on site and notice to surrounding property owners within 400 feet of the project is sent. 19 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Bovnton Beach. Florida ril 29, 2016 Tom McClure found the meeting beneficial and advised he will go to the members of the Boynton Intracoastal Group to advise the City is looking for development in an organized manner. Mr. McClure noted a member of the public was not included in the DART process and the public should have an opportunity to weigh in on projects. He noted the P&D Board makes a recommendation for approval or denial. He asked if the application is moved forward to the City Commission with either recommendation. Mr. Mack responded it would because the P&D Board is an advisory board. The applicant could postpone the application or withdraw it. If it is denied, the applicant could resolve the issue or wait. It is at the applicant's discretion. The City Commission could add what they want to the DART process. Mr. Rumpf explained DART is a technical review. Staff has to enforce standards, codes and the requirements of the City. Input is not bad, but there is a correct stage and the public should effect change and polices supported by the Commission. He did not want the reviewers bombarded with public input while they are trying to review a project against the Code. There is public input. The P&D Board meeting is the first public hearing. Mr. Mack explained when staff meets with a developer, they make recommendations for the developer to meet with adjacent property owners. As to DART, a notice on the website may suffice. The public can also request a list of DART submittals every week, but it is only when staff receives an application when it is publicly announced. He did not favor a member of the public sitting with the team as a reviewer. Mr. McClure explained he wanted the public involved sooner rather than later. He liked that staff recommends the developer reach out to the community, and noted it was not a requirement. He asked if it could be a requirement emphasized transparency is important. Mr. Mack thought posting the submittal on the website would suffice. Ms. Krusell explained the bottom half of the City's webpage shows the latest submittals. Butch Bouni, Sterling Village, commented on the 400 -foot notice radius and explained some residents of Sterling Village in the far tip of the property received notice. The rest of the development did not. He thought if the notice requirements bisected Sterling Village, the entire Village should be notified. Mr. Rumpf explained that was considered. When the quasi-judicial rules were written, whoever has ownership or control over the community is notified. Allan Hendricks, 122 SE 4th Avenue, explained he works with cities from Miramar to Port St. Lucie, and he suggested having a community appearance or architectural review board. There are all kinds of ways to enhance development. Boynton Beach enhances development through Art in Public Places. Required enhancements have to be in the Code. He would like to see design guidelines strengthened and have an overlay for Boynton Beach Boulevard from 1-95 to the end of the Promenade which was discussed earlier. He was aware there are design guidelines for the Boynton Beach Boulevard Corridor west and pointed out there is a lot of undeveloped land between 1-95 NX Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida April 29, 2016 and the Promenade and he would like to see it improved. Ms. Brooks responded that area was a district in the Plan, but the zoning had to be changed. Bradley Miller, 508 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard, explained he has worked with this group since 1990, and work in two-thirds of the municipalities in Palm Beach County, and other areas. He expressed the City's DART process is the best he has seen. The process is predictable, they are familiar with the process and aware of the comment process. He invited all to observe a DART meeting and explained the reviewers look at the plans that day. In other municipalities, it is a month-long ordeal. When the meeting is over, there is some predictability of what is anticipated as the process moved forward. Mr. Mack explained staff would start attending HOA meetings and educating citizens about the process, discussing issues such as building permits and other processes so the residents are kept informed. Motion Vice Mayor McCray moved to adjourn. Commissioner Katz seconded the motion. Vote The motion unanimously passed. The meeting was adjourned at 1:05 p.m. (Continued on next page) 21 Meeting Minutes Development Orientation Workshop Boynton Beach. Florida ATTEST Judith A.
