BACKGROUND
Mr. Jeffrey Bartel, Esq., of Berger Singerman LLP, is requesting a Master Plan Modification to
the Boynton Village & Town Center Master Plan, and more specifically the Cortina portion of the
master plan, to amend the development designated for SMU Parcels 1, 2 & 3 to 674 apartments
and 115 single - family homes from the previous approval of 643 condominiums, 350 apartments
and 115 single - family homes (see "Exhibit A" — Location Map). The Planning & Development
Board heard a request from Berger Singerman for Master Plan Modification and Major Site Plan
Modification (MPMD 17 -003 and MSPM 17 -002) at their May 23 2017 meeting. The applica
withdrew their applications in order to re- examine their development plan. After consideration
and a slight re- design the agent submitted this new application for Master Plan Modification
(MPMD 17 -004) and companion application for Major Site Plan Modification (MSPM 17 -006),
which essentially adds six (6) more apartment units to SMU Parcel 3 (an increase from 318 to
324) and provides for additional parking.
The property is a former dairy farm that received land use amendment and rezoning approval in
2005. The portion of the property containing the Target and Best Buy stores was zoned C -3,
Community Commercial, and the balance of the site was zoned SMU, Suburban Mixed Use,
and approved with a corresponding master plan for development. Staff requested a master plan
for the entire site, as the interconnectivity and shared amenities warranted a comprehensive
review of the 106 acres. The original master plan depicted 405,328 square feet of commercial
space (retail, restaurant, & office) plus 1,120 dwelling units. A Master Plan Modification request
(MPMD 12 -003) was approved on July 17, 2012 to redesign the Cortina portion of the site
(which at that time did not include the condominium sites) from 458 townhomes to 34
townhomes, 348 apartments and 80 single - family detached homes, including the relocation and
re- sizing of the park land dedication. Subsequently a Master Plan Modification (MPMD 15 -001)
was submitted to amend a 0.42 -acre portion of SMU Parcel 5 from 16 townhomes to a four (4)
story, 24,000 square foot mixed use building with medical uses on the first two (2) floors and
four (4) dwelling units on each of the next two (2) floors. The Master Plan was then modified
(MPMD 15 -002) to designate the remaining vacant tracts within Boynton Village & Town Center
for 643 condominiums, 350 apartments and 115 single - family homes. Master Plan Modification
16 -001 added 240 square feet of office space to SMU Parcel 5 administratively through the

Minor Master Plan Modification process. Lastly, Master Plan Modification 17 -001 added electric
vehicle charging stations to Parcel 2, resulting in the loss of one (1) parking space. This
modification was also deemed minor by staff and approved administratively.
Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2. D. 6., Master Plans, of the Land Development Regulations
states that major changes in planned developments shall be processed through the Planning
and Development Board and the City Commission.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to to amend the development designated for SMU Parcels 1, 2 & 3 to
674 apartments and 115 single - family homes, through the redesignation of the previously
proposed 643 condominium units on Parcel 3 to 324 apartments.
The original Master Plan approval was subject to a CRALLS (Constrained Roadway At Lower
Level of Service) designation for the Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road intersection. A
CRALLS designation is a tool utilized by Palm Beach County under their Traffic Performance
Standards (TPS) review of projects, when there is not adequate right -of -way for intersection
expansion to accommodate additional turn lanes and /or longer vehicle stacking for those turn
lanes., The County required other on and off -site improvements to assist with improved vehicle,
bicycle and pedestrian movement facilitation, including the construction of the 3 and 5 lane
segments of Old Boynton Road from Congress Avenue to Boynton Beach Boulevard, the
continuation of Renaissance Commons Boulevard across the C -16 Canal and connecting with
Old Boynton Road, the widening of Gateway Boulevard from Congress to High Ridge Road to 6
lanes, and the construction of the greenway path along the E -4 and C -16 canals. All of these
improvements have been completed. The applicant submitted an updated traffic study to Palm
Beach County Traffic Engineering. At the time of preparation of this staff report, staff has not
received an approval letter from the County. With the reduction in the number of dwelling unit
and corresponding reduction in the number of vehicle trips, it is anticipated an approval will be
granted. As a condition of approval of this Master Plan Modification and companion Major Site
Plan Modification request (MSPM 17 -006) for Alta at Cortina for 324 apartments, no building
permits shall be issued until such time as the approval letter is received.
The CRALLS designation established a maximum threshold of 1,120 dwelling units within the
Master Plan. This proposed Master Plan Modification request allocates 797 of those units (115
single - family homes proposed for SMU Parcel 1, 350 apartments currently under construction
on SMU Parcel 2, 324 apartments proposed for SMU Parcel 3, and 8 apartments currently
under construction on SMU Parcel 5 as part of a mixed use building), resulting in a balance of
323 undesignated dwelling units below the cap amount- of 1,120. There are no changes
proposed to the commercial portion of the master plan associated with this request. Staff
considers the modifications to the approved master plan to be non - substantial.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Division recommends that this request for Master Plan Modification be
considered non - substantial, and approved subject to the comments included in "Exhibit C" -
Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or required by
the City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.
