Proposed Resolution No. R01-249 Assessment Rates Re: Fire Discussion Vice Mayor Weiland urged the Commission to look at different ways to implement fire improvements that would cost one half the amount that is being proposed. He said it could be done fora lot less money. He suggested that they look at the design concept at the beginning because once the designs are made, the dollar figure will be set. Commissioner Fisher stated that even if the rates are approved, the City has the opportunity to make changes before "breaking ground." He is willing to consider other options. He stated that the City needs a fourth fire station; he only disagrees with the method of financing. Commissioner McCray said he looks at every dollar being spent and if anyone has a way to reduce the cost, he is in favor of it. Motion Commissioner Ferguson moved to approve item C.8. Motion was seconded by Commissioner McCray and carried 3 to 2 with Vice Mayor Weiland and Commissioner Fisher dissenting. 8 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton BeaCh, Florida November 6, 2001 VIZ. C:[TY MANAGER'S REPORT: A. Report on Stormwater ERU Rates City Manager Bressner said there had been a request by the Commission for a mid-course review of the stormwater ERU rates. He said that with the construction projects scheduled for the next three years, the rates should remain unchanged. Dale Sugerman, Assistant City Manager, reported on the cash flow and scheduling of capital projects for stormwater, water and wastewater improvements. There is $62.5 million available for all utility capital ~mprovement projects ~ the present time. At the end of three years, this figure would be reduced to $16.5 million in order to accomplish all of the stormwater, water and wastewater improvement projects. He stated that all the projects can be done without increasing_rates or borrowing money. Tn the future, however, rate adjustments or borrowing funds may be necessary. Assistant City Manager Sugerman said that the Utilities Department is solvent now and staff recommends not reducing the stormwater ERU rate from $6 to $5. Commissioner Fisher asked whether any of the projects would be cancelled if the ERU rate was reduced. Assistant City Manager Sugerman said that they would not be cancelled; however, the reserves would be reduced. City Manager Bressner stated that before the $6 per month stormwater ERU fee was implemented, a fee of only $1 was charged. This did not meet the ongoing maintenance responsibilities for the stormwatar system. Previously, an engineering consultant was hired by the City to analyze what projects were necessary for the City to meet its long term stormwatar management obligations. Their report indicated that there was a major gap between the income of $1 per month and what needed to be done. The consultant recommended borrowing funds. However, the City Manager recommended raising ERU rates and not borrowing money so that there would be no interest charged. Once capital improvements are in place, the ERU may be able to be reduced to a maintenance level. City Manager Bressner stated that in response to this City Commission's concerns regarding a Wholesale swale program, staff has taken a comprehensive approach so that when any street or utility project is performed, the stormwater c0mponent is done at the same time. City Manager Bressner will present a report to the Commission in six months. He believes it would be premature to reduce the rates now. Commissioner Fisher was in favor of reducing the ERU rates now. Mayor Broening said that with constant review of the projects as the system now allows, the City can modify them as required. He is satisfied with the stormwater ERU rates. Assistant City Manager Sugerman said the ERU rate is established by ordinance and if the Commission wants to modify the rates, it would require a change to the ordinance. 9 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beachr Florida November 6r 2001 The consensus of the Commission was to leave the rate as it is. City Manager Bressner suggested that this item be placed on a future agenda in six months for review. B. Report on City Advisory Board Membership, Attendance and Performance Standards (survey results) City Manager Bressner reported on the results of a survey conducted by the City Clerk's office. The past practice of Boynton Beach is consistent with other communities. The majority of other municipalities do not allow membership on more than one board. The City's policy on three absences seems to be the standard. For boards with more than one meeting a month, the ordinance should be amended to modify that standard so that there is consistency. Herb Suss said that the Qb/ has difficulty filling City boards. He urged that the code be changed so that citizens can serve on a second board. He also said that illnesses and religious holidays should be taken into consideration. Commissioner Fisher commented that many of the City Commissioners serve on other boards and still get their jobs done. There are many board vacandes and he cannot think of a negative reason not to allow service on more than one board. Mayor 8roening said he would not want someone to serve on both the Planning & Development Board and the CRA Board or on two quasi-judicial boards. However, he does not have a problem with someone serving on two boards. Commissioner Ferguson thought that people could be found to fill board vacancies. Tf people serve on more than one board, he feels that the City would lose diversity. City Manager Bressner reported that, according to the survey, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach and Boynton Beach have the largest number of boards and they all have the same standards. He suggested that the City advertise these boards more and market them better. The consensus of the Commission was to request that the Legal Department draft an ordinance clarifying attendance standards for advisory boards that meet more than once a month. Authorize staff to proceed with the necessary work to relocate voice and data communication equipment from the Mangrove Park High School at a cost not to exceed $25,000 Quintus Greene, Director of Development, said he could provide a more detailed report at the next Commission meeting. However, whether the old high school building stays or is demolished, there is some equipment essential to the operation of the Cib/Complex that needs to be removed from the building and relocated. The cost for this relocation will not exceed $25,000. Peter Wallace, ~ Director, explained that equipment providing telephone and P.C. service to the museum, the Art Center and the Code Compliance trailer must be relocated. Tn response to a question regarding why this equipment had been stored at the old high school, Mr. Wallace 10 Meeting Minutes RegUlar City Commission Bovnton Beach. Florida November 6. 2001 replied that the old high school was previously used by City departments during the renovation of City Hall Motion Commissioner Ferguson moved to approve item C. Weiland and carried unanimously. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor D. Strategic Initiative Report on Visions 20/20 Virginia Farace, Ubrary Director and team member, explained that the conceptual adoption of the Visions 20/20 Plan by the City Commission occurred on August 18, 1998 but it was never formally adopted by resolution. Host of the goals were accomplished or are in progress. A copy of the report is attached to the original minutes on file in the office of the City Clerk. Dick Hudson, Senior Planner, explained the Projects Implementation Matrix, which is printed in the report. Arthur Lee, Human Resources Director, said that the team is recommending that the City Commission direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to formally adopt pages 130-148 of the Visions 20/20 Redevelopment Plan to satisfy the requirements of Florida Statute 163.355, providing an official finding of necessity supporting the expansion of the CRA area, and that the 20/20 plan continue as a general guide for planning and development in the study area. Commissioner Ferguson recommended that this item be tabled until the Commission has a joint meeting with the CRA on November 7m. He said that some things may have changed over the years and this should be tabled until the 2000 census is received. It was noted that this item is not being adopted tonight. The Commission is only being asked to direct staff to draft a resolution. The consensus of the Commission was to have staff prepare a resolution. Mayor Broening thanked the team for their hard work.

Ordinances -- 2nd Reading - PUBLIC HEARTNG Proposed Ordinance No. O1-54 Re: Amending the Quantum Park DPt/Master Plan to change the permitted use on lots 7-11 from "Office Industrial" (OI) to "Mixed Use" (MU) and lots 23-31 from "Office" (O) to "Mixed Use" (MU); to increase maximum residential units from 500 units to 1,000 units; to partially close Quantum Lakes Drive and create two (2) new tracts of "Mixed Use" (MU); and to change the permitted use on tract 34-C from "Detention" to "Reserve" City Attorney Cherof read proposed Ordinance No. 01-54 by title only. He explained that the ordinance has been revised due to grammatical changes and an additional Condition of Approval has been added (condition #7), which necessitates the recording of a restrictive covenant for lots 7 through i1 and lots 23 through 3:1, limiting residential development to fee simple units. 13 Meeting Minutes Regu!ar City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida November 6. 2001 Lusia Galav, Principal Planner for the Planning & Zoning Division, explained that the first request is to amend the development order for lots 7 through 11 and lots 23 through 31 from Office and Office Industrial to Mixed Use. Tn conjunction with that, the developer is asking for an additional 500 dwelling units. The second request is to change the designation of lot 34-C to Reserve until the Planning staff and the applicant can determine what the best use is for that lot. The final request is to reconfigure Quantum Lakes Drive, abandoning a portion of it and creating two new tracts for Mixed Use. She explained that the Commission should determine whether it is or is not a substantial dev at On and then~aPprove the changes With conditions or deny the request. Mike Fitzpatrick, I01 SW 4th Avenue, was concerned regarding the mixed use zoning. He said that Quantum Park CurrenUy has;a lot of mixed use and now they are asking for more. He said that all they are building are ~esidential units and no mixed uses. He Chinks that they should be building structures that are mixed use before requesting that more lots De changed to mixed use. Stella Rossi, 625 Whispering Pines Road, was concerned regarding the City changing the designation of lot 34-C to Reserve. Tn 1986f lot 34-C was supposed to be Preserve. She said that when dtizens found out that the 40 acres had not been saved under the DP, Z process, the applicant at that time was forced to save an additional 14 acre site to the south. Mrs. Rossi said she has heard that lot 34-C did not have a designation. She said that it really did have one; it was the original 40 acres which was not preserved. Eventually, it was designated as Detention and then Open Space. Then the developer requested an Tndustrial designation. Finally, it is being proposed as Reserve. She said that the dictionary defines Reserve as "to set aside fora special purpose or to hold over for a later time." She asked how the City categorizes Reserve. There are.no assurances that the developer will not pursue Industrial at a later date. She stated that the City needs to take a stand for the environment and leave it as Open Space and not Tndustdal or Reserve. Enrico Rossi, 625 Whispering Pines Road, said that on December 12, 2000, the City Commission voted that 272 units in Grotto Bay would not need to pay the recreation fee. Now there [s another project coming in before the first one is even finished. He said that they should have to pay recreation fees. He does not feel that mixed use should be applied to an industrial park. Mixed use was intended for the downtown area. He requested that the Commission reject the plan. Mary Law, 625 S. Federal Highway, said that the Planning & Zoning Division and the Commission should give some answers to Mr. and Mrs. Rossi. She thinks that the audience should receive answers. Allen Stiman, 8762 Estate Drive, West Palm Beach, said that he is the Chairman of the Environmental Committee for Quantum Group. He stated that Quantum Park is in environmentally good condition. The preserves have been fenced. Experts have .come in to assist in environmental responsibilities. The lakes are maintained On a natural basis. They have spent money to relocate gopher tortoises. He said that Quantum Group has been responsible with environmental issues. 14 Meeting Mi nutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach. Florida November 6, 2001 David Norris, attorney for the applicant, stated that all Conditions of Approval are acceptable. Any residential units would be fee simple. He said that these residential units are a reaction to the market. Tt will be a positive project. He said that lot 34-C is consistent with what Nfs. Rossi said when she read the definition of Reserve - to hold over for a later time for a spedal purpose. As far as the discussion on the recreation fee being waived, that will be decided at time of the site plan. Eugene Gerlicai Quantum Park, said that lot 34-C was originally identified for industrial development, tt was revised in I986 in a later Master Plan Amendment and shown as Sand Pine Preserve. Tt was later, identified as a Detention Area because the habitat had been disturbed by off-road vehicles and it was no longer suitable to be a preserve habitat. That, in turn, led to the pceservation of 14.3 acres to the south which was platted and preserved as a habitat. Mr~ Gerlica stated that in the final certification of all the water management improvements, the ce~cation excluded the area of lot 34-C from any drainage encumbrance because it was not needed since the lakes were expanded in other areas of the park. He said that becaUse of the OLy's concern, Quantum Park agreed to reserve lot 34-C until the open space issues are resolved:with the City and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Coundl and a proper use can beddentified. He Said that Quantum Park provides a significant amount of recreational facilities (e.g., bike paths, lake bank landscaping and Grotto Bay recreation areas). Commissioner McCray read a portion of the letter from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council dated October 8, 2001 and the C'~o/'s response and concluded that the City is in compliance with the Reserve designation. Mayor Broening said he previously lived in an industrial park that had mixed uses. There were single family units and mixed uses and it worked very well. Motion Commissioner Ferguson moved to approve proposed Ordinance No. 01-54 as amended. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Fisher. Vice Mayor Weiland thought this was a substantial deviation from the original plan. He said that over a year ago the Commission agreed to 500 residential units in Quantum Park. Six months later, the developer requested another 500 units and the Commission rejected it. There has been no public discussion regarding why the City Commission changed their minds. The Commission agreed to approve a mixed-use plan for 500 units, offices, shops and restaurants and the only thing that is there now are rental units. He said that a future City Commission could approve more units at a later time if the first phase of the mixed use has been successful. He did not think that there was a need to approve this tonight. City Clerk Prainito called the roll. The motion passed 4 to 1 with Vice Mayor Weiland dissenting.

By adding a new sectiOn :[5-10 of the Code of Ordinances; prohibiting sound disturbances in residential zoning districts; providing for definitions, methods of enforcement, and penalties City Attorney Cherof read proposed Ordinance No. 0:[-55 by title only. Mayor Broening noted that there were two cards from people in the audience wishing to speak on this matter; however, there is no public hearing on the first reading of an ordinance. Commissioner Fisher had a concern regarding the 25 feet in the ordinance. He questioned whether the officers needed a distance requirement. Police Chief Marshall Gage stated that if they must resort to technology to measure the sound, then they must go into court as technical experts and must have technical training. He said they do need a reasonable amount of distance requirement. Florida law does allow officers to use discretion and they still have discretion with 25 feet. Commissioner McCray asked whether the officers have the technical training. Chief Gage answered that not everyone is trained. The training involves a 40-hour course. Mayor Broening asked whether there has to be a specific dimension or value to any such ordinance or can it be just disturbance. City Attorney Cherof said that the City's standard tracks the state statute and it is simply that the sound must be plainly audible. He said that a distance is required. The state statute of 100' applies to motor vehicles. Discretion is always a part of the equation. Commissioner Fisher preferred a distance of 100'. Motion Commissioner Ferguson moved to approve proposed Ordinance No. 0:[-55 as it is written. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Weiland.

My family came to the Boynton area in 1911. I was born there in 1914. i attended Boynton School where my father, W.S. Shepard, had been the first principal, and my aunt Annie Streater Shepard was among the first teachers. Boynton wes a "speck~ of a town then, and the area was the newest American frontier. As people flocked to South Florida, our little town grew, and the need for public schools grew with it. I remember watching the construction of the high school building from my eighth grade classroorn window in the now-p~eserved elementary school. Some of the children had been moved to the temporary classrooms on the school grounds while the high school wes being built. This building is an integral part of the historic school site. The high school represents Boynton's past, present, and future as a progressive city that makes eduCation a top priority. It tells of a time when people came to South Florida to start their new lives, to make a wey for their families in the untamed tropics. It represents the people who were willing to take a chance on building Boynton into a real town, then into a real city. I ask you to havethe foresight to preserve the old Boynton High School building as one of so few buildings to have survived both the times and the hurricanes. Our history always tells our future. This piece of history should not be demolished and paved over unless we expect Boynton's future to be nothing more than a c'~y of parking Iots--a city that cares more about cars than it does about what made the City of Boynton Beach great.

PZ 01-205 Chairman and Members Planning and DevsIopment Board Michael Rumpf~' Director of Planning and Zoning DATE: September 24, 2001 SUBJECT: Quantum Park PID (File No. USAP 01-003) Retail store, fast food restaurant with drive-thru service, and restaurant on Lots 81 and 82. NATURE OF REQUEST Mr. Nell J. Gaeta, of Gaeta Development Co., is requesting use approval for retail stores, a fast food restaurant with drive-thru service, and a "high-turnover" restaurant, for the above-referenced lots within the Quantum Park Planned Industrial Development (see attached location map - Exhibit "A"). The applicant is proposing to construct a 77,375 square-foot building to house multiple retail uses. The planned project is also to include two (2) smaller structures each at 5,000 square-feet, one of them to be used for a fast food restaurant with drive-thru service, and the other one for a "higJ~-tumover' restaurant (see proposed site plan - Exhibit "B"). Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 7,E. of the Boymon Beach Land Development Regulations permits building structures to be occupied by any office, professional, 3usiness (wholesale or retail), provide that ail new uses proposed within a Planned Industrial Development (PID) district be approved by the Planning and Development Board (and Cty Comm ss on) Furthermore according to the Master Site Development Plan Amendment No. 10 for the Quantum Park PID, the subject parcels (81 and. 82) are class fled as OIC, thereby allowing office, industrial, and commercial use alternatives. In compliance with the above-referenced section of the Land Development Regulations, the applicant is requesting that retail stores, and fast food restaurants, including a drive-thru feature be approved for the lots 81 and 82. Quantum Park PID, with the commitment to comply with al! of the City's performance standards. BACKGROUND The following is a description of the zoning district and land use classifications of properties surrou'nding the subject parcels, indicated in Exhibit "A": North: Gateway Boulevard right-of-way, ano Carther north a vacant property zoned PID and classified OIC, Office, Industrial and Commercial; South: Car Max, an automobile dealership zc ned PID and classifiec COMM, Commercial; East: Seaboard Railway and 1-95 rights-of-way; anc West: High Ridge ~,oad right-of-way, and farther west s gas station and vacant parcels zoned and classified MU, Mixed Use. Unlike other conventional zoning districts, the zomng code aoes not set forth specific uses permitted in a PID. Pursuant to Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 7.E. in a ~ID, a building and its customary, ancillary structures and [and uses may be erected, altered and occupied for any office, professional, business (wholesale and retail), educational institution, adult entertainment (consistent with Section 11.M. of the ~) zoning code) or industrial uses provided that such use or uses is/are approved by the Planning and Development Board. To approve such a use the Planning and Develc 2merit Board must make findings that the proposed use will not be in conflict with the performance standards listed in Section 4.N. of the zoning reguIations, and that the use uroposed s consistent with the intent and purposes of the Planned Industrial Development District. Page 2 Memorandum No. PZ 01-205 Furthermore, in March 2000, the City of Boynton Beach approved the Master Site Development Plan Amendment No. 10 for the Quantum Park PID to reflect new trends in the type of uses suitable within the Quantum Park P/D. Based on the Amended Plan, and concurrently with this use approval request, the applicant is proposing the construction of three commercial retail and restaurant buildings totaling 87,375 square-feet on lots 81 and 82 of the Quantum Park PID, (see Exhibit "B" - proposed site' piCn).. . ANALYSIS The purpose of the City's performance standards is to ensure that uses will not be a nuisance or hazard to persons, an reals, vegetation or property located on adjacent or nearby properties or right-of-way; or to interfere wi~h the reason~b e use or enjoyment of adjacent or nearby property by reason of noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or other part cu ate matta~; toxic or n~xious matter; odor, glare heat or humidity; radiation, electremagnetic interference, fire or exp os ve hazard, liquid waste discharge, or solid waste accu 'nulation. The applicant has been asked to provide a description of their request relative to the performance standards within Chapter 2, Section 4.N of the Land Development Regulations to evaluate the impact and appropriateness of this use within the PID district. These responses are listed as follows: 1) Noise: No sound will be createc which in violation of Section 15-8 of the City Of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances. 2) 3) Vibrations: No ground vibrations will be generated by the proposed use. Smoke, dust, dirt, or other particular matter: No emission of smoke, dust, dirt or oth'er particuIar matter will be created. The proposed use will not.allow the emission of any substances in violation of any federal, state, coun~ or city aws or permits governing the emission of such substances. 4) 5) Odors and fumes: No objectionable or offensive odors wiIl be readily perceptible at any point beyond the industrial district. Toxic or noxious matter: The proposed use will not aIIow any toxic or noxious matter to be discharged in such concentrations as to cause damage to proper~y or vegetation, discomfort or harm to persons or animals, or prevent the reasonable use and enjoyment of property, or rights-of-way at or beyond the property line or to contaminate any public waters o¢ any groundwater. 6) 7) Fire and Explosion: The proposed use will not create a fire or explosion hazard. Heat, Humidity or Glare: The proposed use will not produce heat, humidity or glare, which is readily perceptible past the property boundary. The lighting will conform to the City of Boynton Beach's standards. 8) 9) Liquid Waste: Any disposition of liquid waste will be in conformance with the provisions of Chapter 26 of the City of Boymon Beach Code of Ordinances or any applicable federal, state or county laws or permits. Solid Waste: Any accumulation or disposal of solid waste will be in conformance with Chapter 10 of the City of Boyntor Beach Code of Ordinances and will not be transferrec to adjacent or nearby property or rights-of-way. 10) Electromagnetic Interference: No electromagnetic radiation or interference will be created. Page 3 Memorandum'No. PZ 01-205 11) HaZardous Materials and Hazardous Waste: No hazardous materials or hazardous waste will be createQ, stored or handled with the proposed use. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed retail and restaurant uses are consistent with the intent and purpose of the Quantum Park PID, as the master plan nas always had a "commercial" use option on selected lots, _the uses reflect chang~-!n !and development or current market trends, and furthers the attempt to provide a' desirabl~"-~ironment for industrial developments, "while complying with the City's code requirements". 'As for impacts to both the adjacent properties and the Quantum Park PID, the proposed uses are compatible with adjacent uses which includes a gas station, car dealership, and the uses anticipated on the nearby parceIs designated for mixed use. The total acreage for the subject parcels is within 'the max mum intensity for commercial uses allowed by the Quantum Park DRI Master Plan. Furthermore, the applicant has submitted a traffic performance standard review statement reviewed by the Palm Beach County .Traffic Division, determining that the proposed development falls within the previously approved DRI and meets~he Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Use ~pprovals typically apply to lots with selected use options, rather than only specified lots. Staff would recomme.nd that the ?ail use element of the request be processed as typical and therefore apply to lots with the commerc a use option, whereas in order to limit t~e magnitude of restaurants within the Quantum PID, and in particular, fa~t food restaurants. Staff recommend~ that the restaurant aspect of the application only apply to Lots 81 and 82. The site plan for the project is being reviewed and prepared concurrent with the subject use apBroval request, RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis contained hereir,, staff recommends that the list of permitted uses within the Quantum Park PIC, be amended to allow retail uses on lots with the 'commercial use" option and to allow restaurants, with or without drive-through services, omy on Lots 81 and 82. Additional conditions recommended by the Planning and Development Board or the City Commission will also be placed in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval.

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM NO. PZ 01-216 STAFF REPORT PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND CITY COMMISSION ' October 5. 2001 Project Name/File No: BOYNTON BEACH MEDICAL PAVILLION / HTEX 01-002 Height Exception for parapet wall Property Owner: Bethesda Healthcare System Applicant/Agent: Chris Kerr, Ki[day & Associates, Inc. Location: 2815 South Seacrest Boulevard Land Use/Zoning: Office/C-1 (Office and Professional Commercial District) Proposed Use: Medical Office Project Size: Site Area: 2.05 acres (89,162 square feet) Building Area: 29,173 square feet Adjacent Uses: (See Exhibit "A" - Location Map) North - SE 27TM Avenue right-of-way and -"aAher noah a medical office building zoned C-1; South Medical office building zoned C-1; East - SE 1~ Place right-of-way and farther east a church located on a single-family residential development zoned R-l-AA; and West - Seacrest Boulevard right-of-way and farther west Bethesda Memorial Hospital zoned C-1. Request: Request for a height exception pursuant to the City's Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4. F.2, to allow a parapet wail feature to be constructed at 31 feet 8 inches (31'-8") high, which is 1 foot 8 inches (1'-8") in excess of the maximum thiAy (30) foot height limit in the C-1 Office and Professional Commercial zomng district. BACKGROUND The subject property is currently developed and used for medical offices, featuring a duster of three (3) buildings constructed in 1978. It is located along South Seacrest Boulevard facing west and across from the Bethesda Hospital (see Exhibit "A" - location map). On September 4, 2001, the City Commission approved a site plan for a new 29,173 square-foot building at the site subject to City approval of code modifications and approval of height exception applications (see Exhibit "B" - site plan). The proposed building features a 44 feet 4 inches (44'-4") high entrance which was the subject of a height exemption application aeproved by the City Commission on September 4, 2001. Page 2 Boynton Beach Medical Pavilion/HTEX 01-002 Memorandum No. PZ 01-216 Furthermore at their October 4, 2001 meeting, the-'City Commission approved the second reading of an ordinance to: a) include parapet walls in the list of structures eligible for exemption from height limitations; and b) increase the maximum structure height in the C-1 zoning district from twenty-five (25) to thirty (30) feet. The proposed new building at the subject site includes a parapet wall that will exceed the new height limit for the C-1 zoning district ~)y one foot eight inohes (1 '-8") (see Exhibit "C" - elevations). The applicant is requesting this height exception to allow the construction of the proposed parapet wall at 31'8" high. This height exception application is submitted in compliance with the conditions of approval for the above-mentioned site plan. ANALYSIS Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4.F. 3, Height Limitations and Exceptions, states that in considering an application for exception to the district height regulation, the City Commission shall make findings indicating the proposed exception has been studied and considered in relation to minimum standards, where applicable. Exhibit "D" lists those standards and how the applicant addressed them. According to the application, the overall building height will be 31 feet and 8 inches (31'8"), thereby exceeding the maximum height allowed within the C-1 zoning district. In addition, the parapet wall will accent the entire fa(;ade when considered together with the recently approved entrance feature at forty-four (44) feet, contributing to the overall quality of the project. This design pnncipal is promoted throughout the city and is consistent with design prindples recommended within the City's redevelopment plan, and other architectural designs recently approved or constructed in the area such as the nearby Dr. Verma Medical Office, and the Bethesda Hospital expansion. Lastly, staff feels that the requested exception will not impact the area in a negative way because: a) a recent approval of a height exception of 44 feet for the ma~n entrance feature for the same project; b) the subject parapet wall would provide the req aired screening for the roof top equipment; and c) the application represents the minimaI necessary to achieve the design intent of the project. RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis contained herein, and on the applicant's response to the m~mmum standards required by code, staff recommends that this request for a height exception for a parapet walt of one foot eight inches (1 '8") be approved. No conditions of approval are recommended; however, any condition of approval recommended by the Planning and Development Board or required by the City Commission wili ee placed in Exhibit "E" Attachments JA:MR S:\Planning~SHARED\WP~PROJECTS\Boynton Beach Lledical Pavilion\HTEX-Para~et Wall\HEIGHT EXCEPTION.STAFF REPORT.doc LOCATION MAP Boynton Beach Medical Pavilion EXHIBIT "A" Pa 3 400 8,00 FEET ,~- :,': II ii tl iii EXHIBIT-':B'L .

Boynton Beach Blvd. PO Box 310 Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 RE: Request for height exception for East Boynton Medical Arts Pavilion Ourtile 868.28 - On behalf of the apphcant, Boynton East Medical Investors, LTD, please accept this request for an exception from the required building height limitation on a medical office building proposed at the southeast comer of Seacrest Blvd. and SE 27th Ave. 2~ae City Commission recently amended the Land Development Regulations to include parapei screening to the list of items that can extend above the district's building height limitations. This site plan, with parapet, was the basis for this change to the LDR's. This request is to allow a portion of the parapet screening of the proposed Boynton Beach Medical Pavilion to be exempt from the height requirements of the C-1 Zoning District. The proposed parapet will screen the HVAC and related equipment from view. It will extend 20" above the maximum building height limitation of 30' in the C-1 District. The top of the parapet will be 3t' 8" from the finished floor elevation. Please see the attached cross section detail of the building height and parapet. It should be noted that this is the identical site plan, architectural elevations, and parapet screening that was recently reviewed and approved by the TRC, Planning & Zoning Beard, and City Commission. No changes have been made to the plans. Height exceptions are requffed to be consistent with the standards of Section 4(F)3. as follows: a. IVhether the height exception will have an adverse effect on the existing and proposed land uses. The height exception will not have any adverse impacts on the existing or proposed land uses. The site currently houses several medical office buildings, up to two stories in height, which were built in 1978. The recent conswaction at the hospital has hastened redevelopment in this area such that the existing buildings have become undesirable. The redevelopment of this site will allow for the continued operation of medical offices on this property in a modern, upgraded building. Height exception request Page 1 of 3 Because the height waiver will allow th~ applicant to screen the unsightly rooftop eqmpment from view as well as enhance the buildings appearance from the .Seacrest Blvd. frontage, it will have a positive effect on the current and surrounding land uses in the area. b. Whether the height exception is necessary. This height exception is a necessxry in order to sufficiently screen the rooftop equipment from view and to enhance the appearance of the building. Since the current office building was constructed, the City has incorporated into the/r Land Development Regulations requirements to screen rooftop equipment as well as reqmrements to enhance all building facades (Ch. 9, Section 11). This Section requires that, "rooftop equipment must be completely screened from view at a minimum distance of 6OOfeet". The proposed parapet will make this possible. c. Whether the height exception will severely reduce light and air tn adjacent areas. The proposed height exception will not reduce or adversely affect light on adjacent areas. The parapet will only exceed the district's height limitation along the perimeter of the building by 20". There is a residential home along a portion of the southern property line. The existing office building is setback 24 feet from this property line. The Boynton Beach Medical Pavilion building will increase this separation to over 80'. In addition, because the subject property is on the north side of tiffs neighbor, the proposed building will nor encroach into this neighbor's sunlight at any time of the day. d. Whether the height exception will be a deterrent to the improvements or development of adjacent property in accord with existing regulations. The height exception will not deter, but wilt actually encourage the development of adjacent properties in accordance with existing regulations. The majority of the structures on the east side of Seacrest Blvd. were constructed before 1980. Many are non-confurming and do not meet the current Code requirements for setbacks, access, landscaping, parking, etc. This proposal will farther the redevempment of this area, and will act as an exemplary model of design for the adjacent properties. e. Whether the height exception will adversely affect property values in adjacent areas. This height exception, in conjunction with the proposed redevelopment of the property, will only serve to increase the values of adjacent properties. As stated earlier, rrmny of the properties in this area are in dilapidated condition. This redevelopment and the supetior design that the height exemption allows will enhance the value of this and the surrounding properties. Cm-rently, the site ~s in disrepair with poor access and few redeeming architectural qualities. This exemption will reverse these effects. Whether the height exception will adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood. Height exception request Page 2 of 3 As described above, this height exceptipn will advance the quality of the living conditions in the neighborhood. This proposal is for a high-quality building of superior design, and exemption reqnested is parr of that design and will only serve to nnprove upon it. The current living conditions in the neighborhood are jeopardized by the existing lot layout and building design. Not only is the ~urrem access onto Seacrest Blvd. dangerous, but the visual appearance of the existing building prdy' .s~es to blight thc neigl~?_o~hopd. This proposal will significantly improve upon the quality of living in the neighborhood. g. Whether the height exception will constitute a grant of special privilege ro an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. Gmntlng of this exemption will benefit the public welfare and City in general. The individual owner of the property is requesting ths building exemption to have the opportunity to construct a building af superior design, far beyond what currently exists on this property or on the adjacent properties. Items (h) and (i) are not standards for the appRcant to address. Please accept this application for the height exception based on the above criteria. Call me ,x~th any questions or comments.

Strategic Initiative Teams were established by the City Manager and asked to create, to initiate and to accomplish an implementation strategy for the assigned goals and objectives. The details of this report relate to Goal 2: Guiding Appropriate Development and Redevelopment of Boynton Beach - Strategic Initiative 2.5. The assignment was to: Complete a comprehensive review of the Vision 20/20 plan to update or resolve conflicts with current planning initiatives in the City. The TEAM appointed to this strategy was: co-team leaders Arthur Lee and Virginia K. Farace, and team members Dick Hudson and Margelly Beltran. The team received review and suggestions from Goal 2 leader: Quintus Green and his staff. Methodology The Team decided that two objectives needed to be achieved as part of this review. 1. Determine the legal status of the Visions 20/20 Redevelopment Plan. 2. Review and analyze the Goals and the Projects contained within the Plan. Findings Legal status: After reviewing several different documents (newspaper articles, commission minutes, etc.) and consulting with the city attorney, it was found that the Plan was never adopted by ordinance. The document was conceptually approved by motion rather than resolution at the August 11.8, 1998 City Commission meeting. ("Commissioner Titcomb moved for conceptual ado ption of the Visions 20/20 Plan. Vice Mayor .]askiewicz seconded the motion that carried unanimously.") Further, the team determined that the Plan, even though not formally adopted, has served as the guide for most of the planning and development activity undertaken by the City since its conceptual adoption. It has been a major factor in the selection of projects included in the Capital Tm provement Program, and continues to guide city decisions as well as have a profound influence on the study area. Review a nd analysis of Visions 20/20: The team went through the document, reviewed the Goals a nd the list of projects. Determination was made on the status of each, and the association between these and the current wave of redevelopment activity. Tt was found that mos~ were accomplished, are ongoing, or have related tasks or projects that are tied into the Comprehensive Plan, which is the legally approved planning document for the City. For reporting purposes, both the Goals and the list of Projects from the Visions 20/20 document ~were compiled into two separate matrices. The Goals and Objectives matrix uses the language exactly as printed in the Plan and then lists related tasks undertaken by the city and the status of those tasks. All objectives have been addressed by the city. The matrix for the list of projects again uses the language as printed in the document and gives the page citation for the project. The matrix has two rows of information giving the Project Name, Cost Estimate, Schedule, Funding Source, Responsible Entity, and Other Task ~[nvolved. The first row is Project Tnformation as recommended in Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Plan~ The second row (shaded gray) gives the Host Current Project Tnformation. Any special information is noted with an asterisk (*) and appears directly under the corresponding project. Summary/Recommendation The Visions 20/20 Redevelopment Plan has served the city as a guiding vision. Even though only adopted conceptually, most of the Goals have been addressed and the Projects completed either directly as presented or through other programs or related projects. The CRA has now been charged with the future planning and implementation for the study area covered in the 20/20 plan. The recommendation is that pages :[30-t48 (attached) of the Visions 20/20 Redevelopment Plan be formally adopted (by ordinance) to satisfy the requirements of F.S. :[63.355, providing an official finding of necessity supporting the expansion of the CRA area, and that the 20/20 plan continue as a general guide for planning and development in the study area. ~o §7~'- 0 0 0 0 ~ .g ~ ~ ~0~ C~ 0 ~~ ~ C ~o~ o ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Z~ ~ ~ v~ , ~ 0 0 C :~o~o o~ ~ -- ~0 ~ ~ ~ 0~ 0 ~ 0 0 ~o _~ o _~ o o ~ c~ ~ ~ ~ ~ o ~ . o ~ ~ ~ O0 ~ '- ~ ~ ~ ~ Q OQ e~ · · · · · · · · 0 0 cUm m cE~ -~__ E ~ R 0 ~ Q ~ Projects Tmplementation Matrix (Based on Vision :>0/20 Redevelopment Plan Matrix- P.

Community Redevelopment Area Expansion One of the most important recommendations resulting from the Visions 20/20 Policy Plan was for the City of Boynton Beach to consider the expansion of the current boundary of the Community Redevelopment (CR) Area. The existing CR Area was initially established in 1982 and expanded to its current configuration, as shown in Figure 3, in 1988. This Finding of Necessity for Redevelopment is a key step in the planned expansion of the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) jurisdiction. In Florida, the establishment and/or expansion of a Community Redevelopment Area and the exercise of redevelopment powers must be supported with an official finding, consistent with the Criteria specified in the Florida Community Redevelopment Act, Chapter 163.355, F.S. The following report was prepared to show whether the proposed boundary expansion meets the Redevelopment Act criteria. CRA Criteria Qualification for designation as a CRA requires that the identified geographic area must meet one or more of the criteria as set forth in Chapter 163, Part 111, Flodda Statutes. These criteda are listed below: 1.) Slum area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or improvements, whether residential or nonresidential, which by reason of dilapidation, deterioration, age, or obsolescence; inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces; high density of population or overcrowding; the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire or other causes; or any combination of such factors is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, or crime and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare. [F.S. 163.340(7)] September, 1998 Boynton Beach F~tsion 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan CRA Expansion Page 130 2.) Blighted area means either: (aJ An area in which there are a substantial number of slum, detedorated~ or deteriorating structures and conditions which endanger life and property by fire or other causes or one or more of the following factors which substantially impairs or arrests sound growth of a municipality and is a menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use: Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout; Faulty lot layoutin relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness; Unsanitary or unsafe conditions; Deterioration of site or other improvements; Ta~ or special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair market value of the land; and Diversity of ownership or defective or unusual conditions of title which prevent the free alienability of land within the deteriorated or hazardous area. [F.S. 163.340(8)] or (b.) An area in whichthere exists: Faulty or inadequate street layout; Inadequate parking facilities; or Roadways, bridges, or public transportation facilities incapable of handling the volume of traffic flow into or through the area, either at present or following proposed construction. [F.S. 163.340(8)] 3.) There is a shortage of housing affordable to residents of Iow or moderate income, including the elderly. [F.S. 163.355(1)] As shown in this report, the existing and proposed Boynton Beach CRA areas meet or exceed most of the above-listed criteria, thus creating the need for effective redevelopment planning and implementation, in order to overcome these blighting influences and contribute to the city's tax base growth. September, 1998 Boynton Beach I~tsion 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan CRA Expansion Page 131 Methodology A number of information sources and analytical techniques were used in the determination of the need for redevelopment assistance in the proposed expansion areas as follows: 1.) Public Records- The Palm Beach County Property Appraisal file was usec to determine aggregate property valuation, ownership characteristics and age of structures. City and County platting .information was also used to examine lot layouts and configurations. Boynton Beach planning, building, zoning and code enforcement records were the source for plan designation, zoning and current use information by parcel and block, and code enfomement actions. 2.) Field Surveys - Surveys were conducted in October and November 1997 throughout possible expansion areas of Boynton Beach to provide accura~ assessments of physical conditions, including infrastructure deficiencies, building structure conditions, transportation characteristics, unsanitary conditions andprevalence of vacant lots. The surveys were conducted by the 20/20 consulting team. The information collected was assessed against the following criteria, as defined in Florida Statutes Chapter 163, to determine the existence of slum and blight conditions. * Unsanitary and unsafe conditions. * Building deterioration. ' Prevalence of closed/vanant buildings. * Presence of vacant lots. * Building and property code violations. * Site deterioration. * Infrastructure deficiencies. * Incompatible uses. "Transportation system problems. * Declining property values. * Lot configuration and ownership constraints. * Shortage of Iow and moderate income housing, particularly for the elderly. September, 1998 Boynton Beach V'lsion 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan CR.4 Expansion Page 132 In order to meet the spirit and intent of the State law, an area does not have to have all of the above characteristics but must exhibit a predominance of these problems, the combined effect of which is serving to inhibit redevelopment and normal tax base growth. Although the primary goal of this report is to examine the slum and blighting conditions existing in the proposed Expansion Area, it will also include an overview of these same conditions present within the current CR Area boundaries. This is due to the fact that the existing CR Area and the proposed Expansion Area must be viewed as an integrated whole for redevelopment analysis, planning and implementation purposes. Thus, it is critical that this analysis of slum and blight conditions present these conditions for the current and propQsed area. It also follows that any finding of necessity for redevelopment made by the City Commission should be based on the presence of these negative conditions throughout the entire CR Area. including proposed Expansion Areas. Existing Community Redevelopment Area The current Community Redevelopment (CR) Area is shown in Figure 40, This area was been prev,ously qualified under State law as slum and blighted, and in need of redevelopment planning and assistance. This finding occurred in two (2) stages. The initial OR Area was established in 1982 with a size of 180 acres focused primarily around the downtown marina area. The CR area was expanded in 1988 to its current configuration which totals approximately 520 acres. The existing Community Redevelopment Area now generally encompasses lands between 1-95 and.the Intracoastal Waterway, and the C-16 canal and Ocean Avenue, While significant progress has been made over the last 10-15 years through the concerted efforts of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), this area continues to exhibit slum and blighted conditions both in commercial areas and residential neighborhoods. September, 1998 Boynton Beach Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan CRA Expansion Page 133 Gateway Blvd. Boynton Beach Blvd. Figure 40 Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Area Golf Rd..' Legend: [] Current Community Redevelopment Area g oqeptember, 1998 Prepared By: James Duncan and Associates Page 134 In 1990, the U.S. Census found that over 20% of the households in a large portion of this area had incomes below poverty level. This current CR Area has a substantial number of homes which are in disrepair. Code enforcement cases for trash dumping, over-grown lawns, exterior disrepair and intedor life-safety violations are among the highest in the city. Palm Beach County has designated a significant portion of the current Boynton CR Area as a "Development Region" where enhanced property owner investment strategies and joecreation are needed to reduce poverty levels and generally upgrade the physical building stock. This is accomplished through loan and. grants programs offered by the County through the Development Regions Program. A number of commercial parcels along on U.S. 1 and Boynton Beach Boulevard in the current CR Area ex.hibit out-moded structural characteristics and land subdivision constraints, particularly insufficient lot depths, which are not conducive to modern retail and service business trends. Some buildings are in deterioratedcondition, signnage tl~roughout the area is uncoordinated, and streetscapes are generally devoid of landscaping an~d unattractive. Traffic flow, drainage and par~ing are major problems ir~hibit!ng r~deVelopment in the dOWntown area of the existing cR Area. Property values in the current CRA have not. grown at a significant y esser rate since 1990 in comparison to Boynton Beach as a whole. Areas near the existing CRA boundary have a large impact on redevelopment planning in the CR Area. In particular, the U. S. Highway I corr dor north and south of the p~Tesent CR Area constitutes an integrated extension of this pr mary arterial in downtown Boynton. The incorporation of the north/south U. S. I corddor extensions constitute a logical planning process whereby the entire U. S. 1 area can be coordinated for effective redevelopment. The industrial areas west of 1-95 between Boynton Beach Boulevard and the C-16 canal, which constitute the West Subarea, could a so play an important rote in the successful redevelopment of the current CR Area by supplying nearby employment opportunities for CRA residents. Titus, it is clear that expansion of the current CRA boundaries could provide important urban planning and implementation linkages for the Boynton Beach CRA. September, 1998 Boj~nton Beach I~tsion 20/20 Re~levelopment Master Plan CRA Expansion Page 135 Proposed CRA Expansion Area Basea on initial field surveys and other relevant information, the City has determined the most appropriate boundaries for the expansion of the current Community Redevelopment Area. The Community Redevelopment (CR) Expansion Area is shown in Figure 41. It comprises appi'oxima~ely 657 acres which, if approved, would bring the total size of the expanded CRA to 1,176 acres. The proposed Expansion Area is delineated into three (3) subareas for the purposes ol this report. These subareas are identified as the North Subarea, West Subarea and South Subarea. These subareas were identified, following months of research and analysis of larger areas, as areas of cdtical need for economic and housing reoevelopment planning and assistance in Boynton Beach The boundaries of the CR Expansion Area were determined based on the need for physical redevelopment, as well as, to protect commercial, industrial and neighborhood areas from the presence of blighting conditions~ As an overall guideline, the Expansion Area boundary includes parcels which clearly meet slum and blight cdteda, as well as other parcels that may not be considered blighted individually, but which are otherwise necessary to prevent the spread and achieve the elimination, where possible, of slum and blighted conditions. Aisc, some physically-sound areas were included in the OR Area based on the need to both minimize threats to such areas from nearby slum and blighted conditions therebypreserv~ ng their long term viability, and recognize the existence of functional relationships Jn the CRA Area that produce a sense of neighborhood or place. Lastly, in drawin§ the proposed boundaries, the necessity to nurture the growth of existing mutually supportive relationships and linkages between discrete sections of Boynton Beach was taken into account. For example, the U.S. I corddor threugh Boynton Beach wil! not be viable if adjacent areas remain blighted. Inclusion o[ these blocks into the larger area can help establish a broader sense of community and security, and encourage vibrant redevelopment of the area for residents and tourists. The Determination of Need for Redevelopment Section which follows will address the relevant conditions within both the existing CR Area, as well as, the proposed Expansion Area.

Code enforcement efforts of the City of Boynton Beach are focused in this area and great strides in improving housing conditions have been made in recent years. The City has a regular program targeted to the demolition of unsafe structures in this area and citywide. In 1990~ Census figures indicated that 13 housing units in the area lacked adequate plumbing facilities and approximately 19% of all units were vacant. Renter-occupied housing accounted for 44% of the total housing stock in the sCUrrent CR Area, the highest percentage; in the city. Overcrowding was also a ignificant problem in th~ existing CR area in 199(~, with 107 units (7.7 % of housing stock) reporting greater than 1.51 persons per room. Housing conditions in the current CR Area can 5enefit from continued effecti;ve redevelopment planning and additional financial resources. The Expansion Subareas (see Figure 41) also exhibit inadequate building conditions in many areas. In the North Subarea, the eastside of the U. S. I corddor from the C-16 Canal to Gateway Boulevard, contains, unattractive commercial areas, older mobile homes, boarded homes and open trash piles. Appendix D shows some of these conditions. Commercial buildings along U. S. 1 also show signs of building deterioration in many instances. In the South Subarea, the building deterioration is evident: both along U. S. 1, and between U. S. I and the FEC railroad tracks. Appendix D shows some represent examples of marginal building conditions in parts of the South Subarea. These conditions include boarded commercial buildings, open trash piles, deteriorated housing structures, unattractive streetscapes and bare commercial frontages. Vacant Buildings and Lots Large areas of vacant land still exist within established neighborhoods in the current CR area which have experienced disinvestment over the years. A tragic example o! this trend is noted around Martin Luther King Boulevard (NE 10~ Avenue) where former commercial structures have been removed with no rebuilding. These vacant tracts represent potential sites for residential redevelopment in the future. A significant of numDer boarded (vacant) residential structures are evident in the existing CRA area September, 1998 Boynton Beach Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan CRA Expansion Page 138 as well. Appendix D contains photograph of slum and blighted conditions in the proposed Expansion Area. A number of examples of boarded residential and commercial structures are present in the CR Expansion Area. These and other marginal structures indicate astrong need for redevelopment planning in this area. Significant numbers of vacant lots also exist in the individual subareas targeted for CRA expansion. Appendix D shows some representative examples located in the North and South Subareas. In the North Subarea, a number of vacant parcels exist east of U. S. 1, particularly in a single-family area located south of the C-16 Canal. Drainage requirements have hindered development of infill lots in this interesting neighborhood and it could substantially benefit from coordinated infrastructure planning~ The West Subarea (see Figure 41)-also contains large areas of vacant industrial land which, when developed, can be a significant contributor to the employment component of the redevelopment program for ti~ CRA. Site Deterioration The field surveys also examined blighting site conditions. Site deterioration was defined as areas with broken or unpaved sidewalks, debds piles, deteriorated parking lots, abandoned foundations and deteriorating site improvements such as fences. Site deterioration has been discussed previously with respect to the current CR Area. Numerous examples of broken-down automobiles, open trash piles, broken fencing and glass, and over-grown grass are evident in many parts of the area. Persistent code enforcement efforts of the City in recent years has served to improve this situation in the CRA, however strong future programs are necessary, through a combination of regulatory means and financial assistance, to help landowners bdng properties up to minimum maintenance standards. Appendix D shows prime examples of unacceptable site conditions in the Expansion Area such as open trash piles and poorly-maintained parking lots. Deteriorated site conditions contribute to a negative image of these areas which can be reversed with effective redevelopment planning. geptember, 1998 l~oynton Beach Iftsion 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan CRA Expansion Page 139 Infrastructure Deficiencies Inadequate infrastructure, including unpaved roads, traffic congestion, drainage, central water and sanitary sewer, can indicate blighted conditions and present formidable barders to redevelopment. Several types of infrastructure deficiencies exist in the current CR area including sanitary sewer, drainage, downtown parking and traffic congestion, tn addition, the FEC Railway tracks form a significant barrier to east-west access in the CRA which has hindered city development and will need to be addressed in redevelopment planning. Drainage problems are prevalent in the area. This creates periodic unsanitary and unsafe conditions in various parts of the redevelopment area, particularly during the summer months. New governmental drainage requirements promulgated in recent years has served to virtually halt redevelopment of the downtown madna district. The City of Boynton Beach is now.moving expediouslyto address this pressing problem with the programmed construction of a regional stormwater facility near the marina area.. Parking standards in the downtown area have been difficult for prospective developers to meet as well because Boynton Beach has the typical site constraints present in older, coastal urban areas. For this reason, Boynton Beach has moved aggressively in the past several years to adopt flexible parking standards in the downtown business distdct and thus facilitate redevelopment projects. Substantial deficiencies in infrastructure also exist in the proposed expansion subareas. These problems include lack of central sewer, inadequate drainage, traffic congestion, unpaved roads and parking difficulties. Appendix D shows an example of drainage problems and unpaved roads in a residential area south of Woolbdght Road in the South Subarea. Property Values Property values in the existing CR Area have grown by just 1.3% since 1990. This is considerably lower than tax base growth of 26% for the entire City of Boynton Beach over the same pedod. This trend of lower-than-normal property value growth is an indicator of an area in need of aggressive redevelopment planning. The inclusion of additional areas into the CRA will help to spur redevelopment efforts and increase the financial resources available to address public and pdvate projects implementation. September, 1998 Boynton Beach I~tsion 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan CRA Expansion Page 140 Property values in the subareas proposed for inclusion as part of the Boynton Beach CRA have also experienced less-than-normal growth when compared to citywide trends. Since 1993, tax base growth (or decrease) in these areas has ranged between -2.6% to +8.7%, again far below the performance of the city as a whole. This is due to a number of reasons including infrastructure deficiencies, State growth management policies promoting westward urban expansion in Palm Beach County, and regulatory requirements which make urban redevelopment difficult. By addressing these and other hindrances to solid tax base growth, the expanded CRA can direct and facilitate effective redevelopment which can accelerate private investment and concomitant growth in property values. Incompatible Uses Adjacent incompatible uses exist in a number of locations, primarily where commercial and residential (zoning) districts meet, in the existing CR Area. These situations are most prevalent south of Boynton Beach Boulevard between U. S. I and the FEC railroad tracks. In these areas, commercial uses have been allowed west of U. S. 1 in transitional neighborhoods and have adversely-impacted the tranquil nature and visual attractiveness of these older single-family areas. Similar areas also exist north of Boynton Beach Boulevard. In particular, the first tier of single-family homes immediately north of Boynton Beach Boulevard have been adversely-impacted by boulevard businesses. Likewise, the businesses along the northside of Boynton Beach Boulevard have been prevented from increasing lot depth to meet modern retailing standards by the single-family homes behind them. Examples of incompatible uses in the expansion areas abound. In the North Subarea, there are several adult entertainment establishments which are out-of-character and incompatible with redevelopment concepts designed to upgrade property values, and attract visitors and families to visit and shop in the U.S. 1 corridor and the marina area. September, 1998 CPM Expansion Boynton Beach I 'ision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan Page 141 In the South Subarea, many examples of incompatible uses exist between U. S. 1 and the FEC railroad tracks. Similarly to the situation described above the current CR Area, this expansion subarea also suffers from the incursion of commercial uses west off the U.S. 1 frontage into predominantly residential areas. Appendix D shows an example of this problem where a retail plant business has been allowed in a residential neighborhood along Old Dixie Road. Ownership and Lot Configuration Constraints Pre-existing plats and excessive ownership parcelization can be a serious barrier to effective redevelopment. The current CR Area has a number of older plats, par[icularly along the U. S. I frontage, which are inappropriate for future commercial development and redevelopment. In addition, numerous small ownerships in the Area may hinder the aggregation of land into parcels appropriate in size for planned redevelopment projects. A prime example of this problem was mentioned previously. The businesses along the northside of Boynton Beach Boulevard have been prevented from increasing lot depth to meet modem retailing standards by the platting single- family homes behindthem. This situation is-prevalent also in the marina area where platted lots and complex o~vnership pa~tems have divided this area into many small parcels without adequate planning. The resulting lot configurations have hindered past redevelopment plans and must be effectively addressed in current planning efforts. The proposed North and South Expansion Subareas along the U. S. 1 corridor also exhibit difficult subdivision and ownership pattems which have adversely-impacted past development initiatives. Generally, commercial.lots fronting U. S. I have inadequate depth and frontage to easily accommodate retail, service and entertainment qses using modern site development standards. This situation will need to be addressed in order to facilitate effective redevelopment of the vital U. S I corridor through Boynton Beach. Affordable Housing In order to effectively discuss affordable housing, several key pieces of information are critical. First, the approved income ranges which define very, Iow and moderate income households must be determined. Exhibit I presents the 1990 HUD (U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development) income limits for Palm Beach County based on September. 1998 Boynton Beach F"tsion 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan CRA Expansion Page 142 1990 Census data. The average household size in Boynton Beach in 1990 was 2.25 persons/household. Thus, the two-person family data is probably most relevant for this analys~s. Using the information contained in Exhibit 1, the following income ranges (1990) for the 2-person family can be identified: Very Low Income Low Income Moderate Income $0- $15,050 $15,051 -$24,100 $24,101 -$36,100. Industry practice and governmental programs have established that housing ts not affordable if a family pays more that 30% of their monthly inco me toward housing costs. This standard wilt be used in this supplementto analyze the affordability of housing in the expansion areas. Rental Housin.q Exhibit 2 shows 1990 Census information for rental housing units in the CRA expansion areas. This data was gathered from the analysis of the census tracts and associated block groups which comprise the CRA expansion areas. The exhibit cleady shows that, based on the best available information, 100% of the 1990 households in the CRA expansion areas making $10,000 or less (very Iow income), paid 30% or more in housing costs. In the $10,000-$19,999 category which is a combination of very Iow and low income households, 81% of households paid 30% or greater in housing costs. In the $20,000 - $34,999 range, which is a combination of Iow and moderate income households, 28% of households paid 30% or more in housing costs. Looking at all rental households in the expansion areas making $0-$34,999 annually in 1990, 62% were paying 30% or more of their income toward housing costs which means that their residential units were not affordable by industry and governmental standards for very Iow, iow and moderate income residents. This affordable housing shortage hits especially hard at the elderly who compdse a significant component of the south CRA expansion area population.

Building and site deterioration, open debris piles, overcrowding of structures, vacant buildings and land, building and property code violations, infrastructure deficiencies, marginal property value growth, land use incompatibilities and lot configuration const?aints are evident throughout the proposed CR Expansion Area and serve to high ight the need for effective redevelopment planning and program implementation. The E~3ansion Area, as well asthe existing CR~, also have significant shortages of iow and moderate income housing, particularly for the elderly population. Community redevelopment assistance is necessary withi~ the proposed Expansion Area to remove Slum and b ght ng cor~ditions, enhance'~the tax base, end, our. age economic growth, improve living conditions, and to upgrade and preserve Iow- and moderate-cost hoUsing. The proposed CR Expansion Area, shown in Figure 41, is a logical and prudent extension of the current Boynton Beach CRA boundary. The U. S. I corddor is a crucial link in the successful redevelopment of the coastal urban area of Boynton Beach. This entire corddorestablishes the city's :visual image and character for visitors and residents to Boyntoa Beach, and thedQwntown marina area. Piecemeal redevelopment efforts in only aPortion of the corridor can not be successful because they will not address the full: deyelopment potential of this unique and histodc transportation facility. [.ikeWise; cOncentr~.ti0n of redevelopment on the frontage par.C?ls .only will also have limited potential f~or positive impact because the adjacent resident al areas provide the;loc'al ~rket areal for Corrid0r businesses and m~st be considered as an integral p~¢ ofth,e corridor. The West Subarea is critically important to the CRA due to its c~re~ip0tenti~, to generate nearby we -paying jobs readi y- accessible to CRA residents. The combination of the current CR Area and proposed Expansion Area will provide Boynton Beach with an ntegrated area possess rig.enormous potential for effective redevelopment planning, funding and implementation.
