6. Old Business - None
7. New Business
Assistant City Attorney Nerette swore in those wishing to testify on the following items.
A. Approve Eden Ridge Rezoning (REZN 18-001) from R -1 -AA Single -Family
Residential District to R -1-A Single -Family Residential District. Applicant: Aldo
Kosuch of Eden Ridge, LLC.
Brandley Miller, Miller Land Planning, representing applicant, gave a PowerPoint presentation of
the property in the southern part of the City, at the east side of Seacrest, with Gulfstream Blvd. as
the southern boundary. A brief history of the zoning was given along with reasoning to rezone the
eight parcels in question to R -1-A, which is more consistent with the area, and Staff concurs.
Application does not include a site plan; this is a rezoning only, to go to the City Commission for
two readings by Ordinance. From there this will go directly to platting and permitting process.
Ms. Oyer had a disclosure having spoken with the south side property owner the day before, but
this item was not discussed except to state that she would not discuss the matter.
Chair Katz opened the public hearing.
Michael Fitzpatrick, 175 SW 2nd Street, wondered about the reason for changing from R-
1 -AA to R -1-A, other than for smaller lot sizes to squeeze in one more unit, and if this is
what is best for the City. Also discussed adjacent properties and felt this "spot zoning"
sets a bad precedent with no real justification for downgrading the zoning. Chair Katz and
Mr. Fitzpatrick had a discussion about the history of the zoning of this former scrub area
and the development possibilities versus nature preserves.
Page 5of91
Meeting Minutes Planning and Development Board
November 28, 2017 Page 3
Mr. Fischer had questions about environmental studies to see what is on-site, and if the bottom left
"chunk" not shown on the map could be considered for purchase by the City or County to extend
the scrub area. Mr. Miller said there was an environmental study for gopher tortoise as well as
plant species; there will need to be a relocation permit from Fish & Wildlife Commission taken
out for the gopher tortoise, but the plant material was nothing that is protected. Mr. Rumpf was
unable to speak for the County, but is familiar with the property purchased by City/County
partnership through some grant dollars.
• Mary Law, 3481 S. Seacrest Blvd., owner of property adjacent to the south of this item,
spoke about quality of life disappearing, citing the gopher tortoises, foxes, raccoons, that
live on this property. Approximately 30 gopher tortoises will have to be relocated, stating
the difference between one house caring for the wildlife versus a small subdivision of eight
houses. The developer should take responsibility to care for the animals and plants that
feed them. Also mentioned was traffic safety and needed signage; the missing
environmental study from the Board packet; fire engine access; storm drainage.
Hearing no further comments, Chari Chair Katz closed the public hearing.
Mr. W heeler wondered what actions are allowed on the site until Fish & Wildlife makes decisions
re: relocating animals. Mr. Miller believes the permit must be issued before any groundwork can
take place.
Ms. Oyer wondered if the tortoises and indigo snakes will actually be relocated or if they will just
be killed. Mr. Miller does believe a protected species such as the gopher tortoise will be relocated,
and no other species were on the environmental study. Mr. Miller answered additional questions
on incorporating the scrub as part of the development, like at Lake Eden Estates; the size of lots
and types of houses to be more consistent with general area; school districting and traffic studies
(not required for this number of lots).
Mr. Palermo inquired as to the lot sizes, to which Mr. Miller replied the acreage for this project is
2.43. The County land is just over 53 acres. The aerial photo is based on the property appraiser's
aerial view within the last year; and the there is only one single-family home with some
outbuildings on the property at this time.
Mr. Rosecrans wondered about migration of the gopher tortoises from one property to another.
Mr. Miller said there will be a fence and the permit may require additional protections. Also, if
this parcel were not developed as proposed, it could still be developed under the R -1 -AA zoning
district, which would be one less lot that could result in larger houses (inega-mansions), which are
not consistent with the area.
Chair Katz summarized by stating that the property is 2.4 acres, deducting 25% for roads, public
dedications, and drainage gives about 1.8 buildable acres; traffic won't be affected by eight homes;
protecting scrub has already been decided with current zoning (R -1 -AA). City cannot legally deny
development; however, it is not the City's job to increase value of land or aid the developer by
allowing one or two more homes to be built on the site.

Motion made by Mr. Wheeler to approve Eden Ridge Rezoning (REZN 18-001) from R -1 -AA
Single -Family Residential District to R -1-A Single -Family Residential District. Hearing no
second, the motion died, item goes with no recommendation from Planning & Development Board
to the City Commission.
B. Approve Ocean Breeze East Rezoning (REZN 18-002) from MU -L2 (Mixed Use—
Low Intensity 2 District) to MU -2 (Mixed Use 2 District) to support the conveyance of
CRA -owned land for a mixed-use development on 4.39 acres in the Heart of Boynton
District. Applicant: City -initiated.
Ms. Matras presented the background on the City -initiated rezoning item, which represents a
house-cleaning task following major changes of the City's land use and zoning structure as part of
the CRA Plan. This request is the first of six City -initiated rezoning actions for classified properties
which presently carry the old, phased -out, mixed use zoning designations, and must be replaced
with new or modified designations per CRA recommendations. Zoning of the subject property is
being expedited as a developer interested in the property is applying for the low-income housing
tax credit program and must meet an end of month deadline.
Motion made by Ms. Oyer, seconded by Mr. Palermo, to approve Ocean Breeze East Rezoning
(REZN 18-002) from MU -L2 (Mixed Use—Low Intensity 2 District) to MU -2 (Mixed Use 2
District) to support the conveyance of CRA -owned land for a mixed-use development on 4.39
acres in the Heart of Boynton District. In a voice vote, the motion passed unanimously (7-0).
C. Approve Soleil Early Learning Academy Conditional Use and Major Site Plan
Modification (COUS 18-001 / MSPM 18-001) for the conversion of a one-story,
2,659 square foot counseling center office building to a day care facility and related
site improvements, located at 201 SW 23rd Avenue / Golf Road in the C-1 (Office
Professional) zoning district. Applicant Cristine Thibodeau.
Cristine Thibodeau gave a history and the demands of running a successful home day care facility.
Francis DiGiovanni, Designer, presented a history of the property as a day care center, that it
complies with Building Code, Boynton Beach Amendments, and Planning Code per Staff's
approval.
Ms. Oyer wondered if any of the plants were poisonous. Ms. Thibodeau stated the plant in question
will be moved to the front of the building, if necessary, but does not believe it is poisonous.
Mr. Rosecrans noted that the current chain link fence will be replaced with a vinyl one, and
wondered if it is compliant with Health Department regulations. Mr. DiGiovanni stated it is a six-
foot fence, and the gate will be locked.
Chair Katz opened the public hearing.
Gina Brynildsen, 178 Lake Monterey Circle, spoke in favor of quality childcare as
provided by Ms. Thibodeau over past two years.

• Meagan White, 1013 SW 25d' Place, spoke in favor as a current client of applicant.
Hearing no further comments, Chair Katz closed the public hearing.
Motion made by Ms. Oyer, seconded by Mr. Wheeler, to approve Soleil Early Learning
Academy Conditional Use and Major Site Plan Modification (COUS 18-001 / MSPM 18-001) for
the conversion of a one-story, 2,659 square foot counseling center office building to a day care
facility and related site improvements, located at 201 SW 23rd Avenue / Golf Road in the C-1
(Office Professional) zoning district. In a voice vote, the motion passed unanimously (7-0).
D. Approve High Ridge Country Club Major Site Plan Modification (MSPM 17-
009) to construct a new one-story, 54,500 square foot clubhouse building, gatehouse,
and related site improvements, located at 2400 Hypoluxo Road in the Recreation (REQ
zoning district. Applicant: Donaldson Hearing, Cotleur & Hearing.
Mr. Wheeler disclosed that his firm did a survey for this project, but is not under any current or
future contract for the project.
Nicole Plunkett gave a presentation for the project, which is to be a major site plan modification
to include replacement of existing clubhouse, and adding a new gate entry feature. An aerial of
existing site and adjacent properties, along with proposed site plan, was shown. This is a members'
club, limited to 265 members, there are no residential units, nobody lives in High Ridge Country
Club. It is an 18 -hole gold course along with several other amenities on site besides the club house,
and are looking to upgrade the site to be consistent with the rest of the community. Details of
landscaping and mitigation/relocation of existing canopy trees, etc., were discussed.
Chair Katz truncated the presentation as the country club membership has already approved the
replacement of the clubhouse, and then opened the public hearing.
• Karen Thompson, 7120 Thompson Road, lives across canal from golf course. Previously
could not see the property from backyard, but the property was recently reclaimed by
drainage district who cleared it, so now there is a direct view of the current maintenance
area. While not against the renovation, wonders if landscaping for the fenced area and
storage is planned.
Chair Katz asked about a condition of approval to buffer the area with mature landscaping. Ryan
Artim, General Manager of High Ridge, stated that hurricane damage caused damage of 300 trees,
with one tree taking out power line directly across from resident's house. Five trees were removed
and replanted, along with some hibiscus hedges; however, some time is needed to grow back in.
Chair Katz stated that a condition for approval will be to mitigate homeowner landscape issue
within a year.
Ms. Oyer stated it was impressive that the applicant was doing the right thing for the neighbors
without before forced to. Also asked about electric car chargers for the future. Larry Zabik, Proj ect

Manager said yes, the electrical conduit is already being run to parking lot and will add to it as
membership needs occur.
Motion made by Mr. Wheeler, seconded by Mr. Zonenstein, to approve High Ridge Country Club
Major Site Plan Modification (MSPM 17-009) to construct a new one-story, 54,500 square
foot clubhouse building, gatehouse, and related site improvements, located at 2400 Hypoluxo
Road in the Recreation (REQ zoning district, with condition to mitigate homeowner landscape
issue within a year. In a voice vote, the motion passed unanimously (7-0).
E. Approve Front Porch Setbacks (CDRV 17-008) — Amending the LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, Chapter 3. Zoning, Article 5. Supplemental
Regulations, Section 3.A, to increase the magnitude of encroachment of front porches
into the building setbacks.
Mr. Rumpf gave an overview of current regulations for front porches. Examples shown (which
prompted this amendment) were of homes in Leisureville. Staff wants to resolve inconsistencies
in applying standards, thereby creating a more livable home with a covered front porch.
Discussion and history of existing ordinances ensued.
Chair Katz opened the public hearing.
• Michael Fitzpatrick, 175 SW 2nd Street, understands that this is to be applied to the whole
City. (Mr. Rumpf confirmed that it is City-wide.) Explained history of such
implementation, usually ends up looking tacky, and may be okay for Leisureville, but not
for the rest of the City.
Hearing no further comments, Chari Katz closed the public hearing.
Ms. Oyer wondered if this is for front porches only, or will it apply to wrap-around porches. Mr.
Rumpf said it would not apply to wrap-around porches as there is typically less set -back on the
side. Staff will look into this when finalizing exact final language, and could not be retrofitted.
Mr. Palermo wondered if this was a request from a builder. Mr. Rumpf said the problem had been
communicated to Staff over the recent past by the community of Palm Beach Leisureville, which
prompted examination of the Code, and Staff identified a City-wide benefit. The same standards
and building codes will apply.
Ms. Oyer asked about screenings and other materials as suggested by Mr. Fitzpatrick. Mr. Rumpf
stated that the terms indicate "open," not enclosed either by screen or solid wall, which would
create an inhabitable space. Discussion followed concerning materials (which look okay on the
back of the house, but not the front), building codes, wind -loads, etc.
Mr. Wheeler wondered if perhaps it could be in the Code that this would only be within a PLD R-
1 -AA zoning designation. Mr. Rumpf stated Staff does not have a strong justification for that,
citing that zoning regulations do not address architectural character of single-family homes.
Page 9of91
Meeting Minutes Planning and Development Board
November 28, 2017 Page 7
Discussion followed regarding application City-wide versus just one area (Leisureville), and Staff
does not recall this being an issue throughout the City.
Chair Katz ascertained that there aren't many homes that will require this in Leisureville, as there
are HOA rules to consider as well as building codes, personally feels this should be City-wide, and
would like to see more front porches in the City.
Motion made by Mr. Fischer, seconded by Mr. Zonenstein, to approve Front Porch Setbacks
(CDRV 17-008) — Amending the LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, Chapter 3. Zoning,
Article 5. Supplemental Regulations, Section 3.A, to increase the magnitude of encroachment of
front porches into the building setbacks. In a voice vote, the motion passed unanimously (7-0).
8. Other - None
9. Comments by Members
Mr. Wheeler, while unable to attend the Planning Seminar, thanked the City for funding it, as well
as setting up the tour of the historic high schools.
10. Adjournment
Upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at 8:02 pm.

pending reclassification of the 15.04 acre property from Public and Private Governmental/Institutional (PPGI)
and High Density Residential (HDR) to Mixed Use Medium (MXM) and rezoning from Public Usage (PU),
Recreation (REC), and Multifamily (R-3) to Mixed Use 3 (MU -3) zoning district. City -initiated.
EXPLANATION OF REQUEST:
This application represents the master plan that corresponds to the pending Town Square Future Land Use
Map Amendment and Rezoning (LUAR 17-005). This "parent" LUAR application was approved on First
Reading on August 15, 2017 for transmittal and review through the state's expedited review system and is now
ready for final approval. The subject master plan is being processed to coincide with final adoption of the
ordinances amending the City's Future Land Use Map and Official Zoning Map on February 20, 2018.
A conceptual Town Square Master Plan was presented to the public at a series of workshops held last year
and subsequently modified to its current version filed for approval.
The master plan proposes a total of 705 units, a density of 47 units per acre, within three separate buildings.
Building "A" would contain 225 units located along Boynton Beach Boulevard, building "B", 280 units placed
on the southernmost block along SE 2nd Avenue, and building "C", 200 units that would wrap the corner of
Ocean Avenue and NE 1st Street.
Other proposed uses include a 120 -room hotel at the corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Seacrest
Boulevard, a new 110,000 square foot city hall and public library on Seacrest Boulevard from Ocean Avenue
to SE 1st Avenue, a central public amphitheater and open space, a playground, plaza, and associated
parking garages. The residential buildings ("A" and "C"), and the hotel will contain a total of 83,887 square
feet of first -floor commercial space to activate the main streets. The plan also allocates 28,536 square feet for
a civic center and multipurpose space to be housed in the renovated Historic High School, and incorporates
into the plan the existing 8,288 square foot Children's Schoolhouse Museum and plaza.
The Town Square project is supported both by the 2016 CRA Community Redevelopment Plan and the City's
Strategic Plan, and staff recommends that the master plan ultimately be approved and forwarded to the City
Commission for final approval in conjunction with adoption of the corresponding ordinances for Future Land
Use Map amendment and Rezoning.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES?
FISCAL IMPACT: Project funding is planned and accommodated through joint efforts with the CRA and
private sector as part of the P3 program.
ALTERNATIVES: None recommended.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Energetic Downtown: Focal Point for Boynton Beach
Page 11 of 91
STRATEGIC PLAN APPLICATION: The Town Square redevelopment project has been recommended by
the CRA Redevelopment Plan, the City's economic development planning efforts, and the City's Strategic
Plan.
CLIMATE ACTION: No
CLIMATE ACTION DISCUSSION:
Not a specific component of the City's Climate Action Plan except that the mix of uses promoted by the
project, and the planned central energy plant represent energy saving and sustainable design concepts.

Master Plan LUAR 17-005
BACKGROUND
The Site
The subject area covers four blocks, bounded by Seacrest Boulevard on the west, NE
1St Street on the east, Boynton Beach Boulevard on the north and SE 2nd Avenue on
the south. It includes seven (7) parcels owned by the City of Boynton Beach, for a total
of 15.04 acres, the right-of-way for NE 1St Avenue of 0.7 acre, part of the right-of-way for
SE 1St Avenue of approximately 0.09 acres (currently with no future land use
classification or zoning designation). The City -owned parcels contain the civic campus
with the following uses:
• City Hall Complex, including parking garage
• Old High School
• 1913 Schoolhouse Museum
• Amphitheatre
• Art Center
• Civic Center
• Kid's Kingdom Playground
• Library
• Madsen Senior Center including shuffleboard courts
As a redevelopment site, the property has several pertinent locational characteristcs:
• It is situated within the Community Redevelopment Area, giving a potential project
access to a number of development incentives, and facilitating a partnership with the
Community Redevelopment Agency. (see "The P3 Project" section below);
• It is enclosed within the Downtown Transit -Oriented Development (DTOD) district,
which covers a '/2 mile radius around the intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard
and NE 4t" Street, the site of the future station for the planned Tri -Rail Coastal Link
commuter train system on the FEC Rail, which will provide passenger service
between Miami and West Plam Beach. The DTOD district regulations support
increased intensity of development through a 25% density bonus and a height bonus
(both require participation in the Workforce Housing Program).
• It is also enclosed within both the Coastal Residential Exception area, which
exempts all residential development east of 1-95 from the Palm Beach County traffic
concurrency, and the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), which,
while setting limits on the amount of development that will be allowed, carries
additional traffic concurrency exemption for commercial and other non-residential
development.
• The site is split between two CRA districts, the Cultural District and the Boynton
Beach Boulvard District, which—together with four others—have been identified and

Plan adopted in October of 2016. (See Exhibit "D")
The P3 Proiect
This application represents the master plan that corresponds to the pending Town
Square Future Land Use Map Amendment and Rezoning (LUAR 17-005). This "parent"
LUAR application was approved on First Reading on August 15, 2017 for transmittal
and review through the state's expedited review system and is now ready for final
approval. The subject master plan is being processed to coincide with final adoption of
the ordinances amending the City's Future Land Use Map and Official Zoning Map on
February 20, 2018.
The LUAR and corresponding master plan has been initiated by City staff in
preparation for the redevelopment of the civic campus, now referred to as Town Square,
into a mixed use project. The project is the product of the partnership between the City,
the CRA and the private development team, based on the Public -Private Partnership
(P3) development model enabled by Chapter 255.065, Florida Statutes. A P3 is
achieved through an agreement between public and private entities that allow for
greater private -sector participation in the financing and delivery of public building and
infrastructure projects. (In February of 2015, the City adopted Resolution 15-020, which
established procedures for processing of P3s.)
A conceptual Town Square Master Plan was presented to the public at a series of
workshops held last year and subsequently modified to its current version filed for
approval. As described in the LUAR staff report, the LUAR was initiated without an
accompanying master plan pursuant to provisions inserted into the Land Development
Regulations (LDRs) in 2015 that allow the City to proactively initiate and process future
land use reclassifications and rezonings of selected sites without a master plan if
recommended by a significant planning document(s). Such "proactive" actions assures
that these properties will have the recommended future land use classification and a
corresponding zoning designation "on the ground," ready for incoming projects.
The subject request meets this criterion, as the Town Square project is supported both
by the 2016 CRA Community Redevelopment Plan and the City's Strategic Plan.
Criteria for Future Land Use (FLU) Map Amendments and Rezonings: Review Summary
The staff report for the "parent" LUAR application adresses the criteria for review of FLU
Map amendments and rezonings listed in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter
2, Article II, Section 2.13.3 and Section 2.D.3. The staff's analysis concludes that:
• There is a need for the FLU map amendment and rezoning to enable
redevelopment of the Civic Campus into a mixed use project (criterion "a"), and
11

Page 5
Boynton Beach Town Square
Master Plan LUAR 17-005
• The subject FLU map amendment and rezoning:
o are consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies and implements the
CRA Redevelopment Plan (criterion "b");
o will result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the community
and generate significant economic development benefits (criterion "c," "g");
o will be compatible, in character and scale, with future development in
adjacent areas per recommendations of the CRA Plan (criterion "c," cont.,
and 'T'); and
o meet the definition of "sustainability," supporting the integration of a mix of
land uses (criterion "d").
• The water, sewer and solid waste services and infrastructure is or will be
available for the project (criterion "e"); specifically:
o Long-term capacity availability for potable water and sewer for the subject
request has been confirmed by the Utilities Department; and
o The Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority determined that sufficient
disposal capacity will be available at the existing landfill through
approximately the year 2046.
• Drainage will be reviewed in detail as part of the site plans, land development,
and building permit review processes (criterion "e," cont.).
• The Traffic Statement required for developments located within the TCEA has
been submitted and indicated an increase of 5,437of daily trips, 205 of AM peak
hour trips and 466 of PM peak hour trips. The properties under the Coastal
Residential exception and TCEA designations are exempted from the
concurrency requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance
Standards Ordinance (criterion "e," cont.). Furthermore, the monitoring of the
maximum allowable residential uses and square footage of commercial, industrial
and other non-residential uses as well as applicable use ratios under the TCEA
Planned 2025 Land Use Table indicate that the current (cumulative) numbers
remain significantly off the allowable thresholds. However:
o Upon completion of its review of the Traffic Statement, Palm Beach
County may issue recommedations for improvements aimed to mitigate
traffic impacts on the area.
• The School Capacity Availability Determination application has been submitted to
the School District of Palm Beach County (criterion "e," cont.)

MASTER PLAN COMPONENTS
Intensity & Density
The project proposes a mixed use future land use classification to allow for addition of
residential and commercial uses not permitted under the current Public and Private
Governmental/Institutional classification. The choice of the Mixed Use Medium (MXM)
category with a maximum density of 50 du/acre (with an additional Downtown TOD
District's 25% density bonus) fulfills the recommendation of the CRA Community
Redevelopment Plan warranted by the project's proximity to the core of the downtown
and to the future station of the planned Coastal Link commuter train service. The
proposed zoning district of MU -3 also has a minimum density of 30 du/acre.
The master plan proposes a total of 705 units, a density of 47 units per acre, within
three separate buildings. Building "A" would contain 225 units located along Boynton
Beach Boulevard, building "B", 280 units placed on the southernmost block along SE 2nd
Avenue, and building "C", 200 units that would wrap the corner of Ocean Avenue and
N E 1 st Street.
Other proposed uses include a 120 -room hotel at the corner of Boynton Beach
Boulevard and Seacrest Boulevard, a new 110,000 square foot city hall and public
library on Seacrest Boulevard between Ocean Avenue and SE 1st Avenue, a central
public amphitheater and open space, a playground, plaza, and associated parking
garages. The residential buildings ("A" and "C"), and the hotel will contain a total of
83,887 square feet of first -floor commercial space to activate the main streets. The plan
also allocates 28,536 square feet for a civic center and multipurpose space to be
housed in the renovated Historic High School, and incorporates into the plan the
existing 8,288 square foot Children's Schoolhouse Museum and plaza.
The proposed zoning district of MU -3 has a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 3 and a
minimum FAR of 1.75. Since several of the proposed buildings do not currently have
total square footage calculated, the FAR will be required and reviewed at time of site
plan submittal for compliance with the LDR.
Vehicular Access
The master plan conforms to a grid block configuration and allows for vehicular flow
through the project; however, access is limited to public streets and garage entries. In
order to complete a vehicular grid system, SE 1St Avenue is proposed to connect to
Seacrest Boulevard. To achieve a `main street' concept and slow traffic, a traffic circle
and angled on -street parking is proposed on Ocean Avenue. There are also two small
surface parking lots; one located off of NE 1St Avenue and the other off of SE 1St Avenue
to serve the commission chambers and the Historic High School.

Master Plan LUAR 17-005
Building Massing & Height
The entire project would include five new buildings, two integrated garages, and two
existing buildings. Although the exact building footprints are not defined, the placement
and adjacencies are reflected on the current master plan proposal. All new buildings
would be placed and oriented along the streets to maximize the pedestrian experience.
The master plan proposes work force housing units and would earn the associated
height incentive/bonus of 24 feet. Two of the proposed buildings would be designed
using the additional 24 feet. Residential/ commercial building "A", located on Boynton
Beach Boulevard, is proposed at 99 feet in height. Residential/commercial building "B",
located at the corner of Ocean Avenue and NE 1St Street is proposed at 80 feet in
height. Buildings that front Boynton Beach Boulevard would be required to conform to
the regulations in the Community Redevelopment Plan and the planned Boynton Beach
Boulevard District Overlay which limit the frontage of the building to 45 feet in height
and the remaining mass to be stepped back a minimum of ten feet. Buildings that front
Ocean Avenue would be required to conform to the regulations in the Community
Redevelopment Plan and the planned Cultural District Overlay which limit the frontage
of the building to 35 feet in height and the remaining mass to be stepped back a
minimum of 30 feet. All other buildings are proposed at or below the MU -3 height
maximum of 75 feet. A full review against all applicable development standards will be
conducted at the time of site plan submittal.
Landscape & Open space
The intended focal point of the master plan is the proposed +/- 40,000 square foot
public amphitheater and open space. This space is centrally located within the master
plan and is placed as an extension of the new city hall and library building. This area is
envisioned to become the gathering space for the City. The plan also propose a +/-
19,000 square foot open space at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Seacrest Boulevard,
and a +/- 7,000 square foot playground on the north side of the Children's Schoolhouse
Museum. The existing 5,500 square foot plaza located on the south side of the
Children's Schoolhouse Museum will remain. The final design of all open spaces will be
reviewed at time of site plan submittal
Sidewalks and street -trees are proposed along all right-of-ways and active areas are
proposed along all main streets. The plan also identifies an extensive pedestrian
circulation system throughout the site.

Master Plan LUAR 17-005
MASTER PLAN PHASING
The proposed master plan deliniates three separate phases. Each phase will be
required to go through site plan approval and will be subject to the Land Development
Regulations of the proposed Zoning District.
The first phase of the master plan would include all of the pubilc components, such as,
the city hall and library, the amphitheater / public open space, the southern garage,
playground, central energy plant, Historic High School and open plaza on Seacrest
Boulevard. This phase also includes the right-of-way improvements to NE 1st Avenue,
Ocean Avenue, Seacrest Boulevard, and SE 1 st Avenue.
The second phase would include the southernmost residential building consisting of 280
dwelling -units as well as the adjacent right-of-way improvements to SE 2nd Avenue,
Seacrest Boulevard, and NE 1St Street.
The third, and last phase of the master plan would consist of the northernmost
residential building consisting of 225 dwelling -units with an attached garage, the eastern
residential building conisiting of 200 dwelling -units, a hotel, and adjacent right-of-way
improvements to Boynton Beach Boulevard, Seacrest Boulevard, and NE 1St Street.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
As indicated herein, staff has reviewed the proposed requests and determined that they
implement the recommendations of the CRA Community Redevelopment Plan, the
City's Strategic Plan and the Economic Development Strategic Plan. Staff recommends
approval of the proposed Master Plan and in conjunction with the corresponding
ordinances for the Future Land Use Map Amendments and Rezoning.

REQUESTED ACTION BY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD: Approve Boynton Beach
Gateway Police Station Community Design Appeal (CDPA 17-010) of Chapter 4, Article 111, Section 3.G.,
"Overhead doors facing rights-of-way", located at the SE corner of Gateway Boulevard and High Ridge Road
in the PID (Planned Industrial Development) zoning district. Applicant: City of Boynton Beach
EXPLANATION OF REQUEST:
This application for Community Design Appeal (CDPA 17-010) is a companion to Major Site Plan
Modification application (MSPM 17-010) requesting to construct a two-story, 53,800 square foot police
station and associated site improvements immediately north of Fire Station #5, at the SE corner of Gateway
Boulevard and High Ridge Road. The request is relative to the location of the overhead bay doors on the west
facade of the building, the sally port and the vehicle storage building. The community design standards
prohibit overhead bay doors on facades facing selected highly visible roadways, which are considered
entrances into the City and/or carry a considerable amount of daily traffic. The rationale is that buildings
located on these roadways should be held to a higher level of architectural standards. High Ridge Road is one
of those select roadways and the proposed station's bay doors would face High Ridge Road.
Based upon previous approvals in the vicinity, distance of the doors from the right-of-way, and mitigation
through the use of paint, landscaping and perimeter wall, staff recommends approval.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES? New station supports the relocation of
the Police Department and therefore the Town Square Redevelopment Project, and provides the long awaited
facility to support current and future service and program needs for optimal law enforcement within the City.
FISCAL IMPACT: Project funding is to be programmed through the joint public/private (P3) initiative.
ALTERNATIVES: None recommended.
STRATEGIC PLAN: High Performing City Organization
STRATEGIC PLAN APPLICATION:
Project would further a Strategic Initiative objective to support the City's Goal to be a "High Performing City
Organization".

NATURE OF REQUEST
As noted above, Mark Rickards of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. is requesting
approval of a Community Design Appeal from Chapter 4, Article III, Section 3.G.,
"Overhead doors facing rights-of-way", which is relative to the proposed location of
the overhead bay doors on the west facade of the building, the sally port and the
vehicle storage building. The community design standards prohibit overhead bay
doors on facades facing selected highly visible roadways, which are considered
entrances into the City and/or carry a considerable amount of daily traffic. The
rationale is that buildings located on these roadways should be held to a higher
level of architectural standards. High Ridge Road is one of those select roadways
and the doors are on the facades facing High Ridge Road.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The applicant has submitted a Justification Statement (Exhibit "C") date-stamped
Page 36 of 91
Staff Report — Boynton Beach Gateway Police Station (CDPA 17-010)
Memorandum No PZ 18-007
Page 2
January 16, 2018 addressing each of the following review criteria for such
applications:
• a) Whether the proposed request will demonstrate consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan;
• b) Whether the proposed request will not significantly detract from the
livability or appearance of the city and will be consistent with the
established or desired character of the area, or with the redevelopment
plan, where applicable;
• c) On balance, whether the proposed request will be consistent with the
purpose of the standard for which a deviation is requested. Granting the
request will equally or better meet the purpose of the standard to be
appealed;
• d) Whether the proposed request is intended to save or preserve existing
trees or desired flora;
• e) Whether the proposed request will have adverse environmental impacts
that cannot be prevented by the imposition of conditions;
• f) Whether the proposed request will have an adverse impact on property
values of abutting or adjacent land;
• g) Whether the proposed request will seriously reduce the quality or
quantity of light and air available to adjacent properties;
• h) Whether the proposed request is necessary to further the objectives of
the City to assist with economic development and business promotion; and
• i) Whether the proposed request meets the purpose and intent of these
regulations but conflicts with another site development standard or
requirement, including sustainable development and green initiatives.
As noted above, the community design standards prohibit overhead bay doors on
facades facing selected highly visible rights-of-way. Previous Community Design
Plan Appeals (CDPA) involving overhead garage bay doors have been approved
for projects along High Ridge Road. In 2002, the City Commission approved a
CDPA for the Premiere Interstate parcel just south of the CarMax property. The
reasoning behind the approval stems from the fact that the overhead bay doors
facing High Ridge Road would be preferable to orienting them on the back of the
buildings facing the Interstate, since the sheer number of vehicles (volume of
traffic) traveling on I-95 far exceeds those that travel on High Ridge Road. A
second approval was granted in 2003 involving High Ridge Commerce Center II, a
project north of Gateway Boulevard on the west side of High Ridge Road,
immediately north of Canterbury Townhomes. For this project, there were unique
site characteristics and constraints, due to the long and narrow configuration of the
parcel, combined with the fact that 25% of the site was set aside for preservation of
the A -rated Scrub habitat on the western portion of the property. Since the building
was designed for smaller tenant spaces requiring overhead bay doors on both
sides of the building and the narrowness of the parcel precluded the buildings from
being oriented in another direction, inevitably the doors had to face High Ridge
Road.
More recently, the Fire Station on the south portion of this property received
Commission approval in 2007 for a CDPA that allowed the apparatus bay doors to
face High Ridge Road. The justification for approval of the appeal was several fold,
including the fact that every second counts in responding to an emergency, and
having immediate access to the main thoroughfare (High Ridge Road) would

Memorandum No PZ 18-007
Page 3
substantially improve response times, as opposed to driving through a long parking
lot before entering the highway. Additionally, the architects proposed painting the
overhead doors one of the matching accent colors of the building, in order that the
doors blend with the building as much as possible, without creating one long wall of
a single color. Also, standard operating procedure is forthe bay doors to be closed,
thus obscuring any storage, daily operations, or the things people generally find
objectionable about open garage bays. Lastly, the Architects' design of a lush,
colorful landscape theme along the front of the fire rescue station, in combination
with the Quantum Park streetscape on High Ridge Road, helped soften any impact
from the orientation of the bay doors.
Lastly, due to the termination of the road at the High School further south of the
site, and the types of businesses south of the subject site, this segment of High
Ridge Road has relatively low volumes of traffic in contrast with the other roadways
contemplated under the Community Design regulations for overhead bay doors.
The architect states in the responses to the review criteria that the inclusion of
overhead bay doors is necessary for the functionality of the proposed Police
Station in order to protect material evidence and chain of custody. He further notes
the overhead bay doors are to be painted to match the adjacent building walls to
help the doors blend with the surrounding walls, and that there are several layers
of screening provided between the street and the doors more than 200 feet away.
The landscaping along the right-of-way is a minimum 25 feet in width and includes
a six (6) foot tall masonry wall. Between the 25 -foot wide landscape buffer and the
doors are other landscape islands in the parking lot that would further screen the
doors from view.
In conclusion, staff has determined that the project meets the intent of the review
criteria for Community Design Appeals in relation to the distance from the right-of-
way and screening of the overhead bay doors. In addition, the approval appears
consistent with previous City actions involving overhead bay doors along this
portion of High Ridge Road. Lastly, the proposed design of the project is not
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, will not significantly detract from the
livability or appearance of the City, and finally, the project should not have any
adverse impact on property values of abutting or adjacent land.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed this request for Community Design Appeal approval, and based on the analysis
contained herein, recommends approval, contingent upon City Commission approval of the concurrent
request for Major Site Plan Modification, and satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit "D" — Conditions
of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

Major Modification to Site Plan — Review Criteria
Pursuant to Chapter 2 Article 2, a modification to a previously approved site plan can be
considered minor or major based on the given criteria, since the proposal increases the square
foota e b:,� more than 10% this is considered a Ma;or
stan ards in Chapter 4, and the following review criteria:
1) Requirements of the The zoning district is PID (Planned Industrial District)
respective zoning district governed by the Quantum Park DRI and Chapter 3
regulations have been met Article III Section 6.13, with specific notes below for
(Chapter 3 Article 111). reference:

creating traffic impacts to residential areas.
The proposed development has direct access
to High Ridge Road (utilizing the existing curb
not create additional impacts to residential
streets.
• Extensions of city maintained waterlines, sewer
lines, pumping stations, streets etc. shall be
constructed at no expense to the city in
accordance with city ordinances and
specifications. The proposed development is
an expansion of the existing fire station, and
does not create off-site infrastructure
requirements, although by definition the GMP
process will result in a City contract for
construction.
• The site shall be suitable for development in the
manner proposed without hazards to persons
or property from probability of flooding, erosion
or other dangers. The project will be part of the
master stormwater permit with SFWMD, and
will be designed and permitted to avoid any
danger of flooding or erosion.
• The proposed use is permitted by the Use
Matrix in Chapter 3 (Use Matrix Table 3-28)
• The overall Quantum Park DRI is greater than
25 acres.
Page 48 of 91
2) Site development standards This project meets or exceeds property development
have been met (Chapter 4) standards contained in Chapter 4, including the
following points for clarification:
0 Project site will apply fora NPDES permit prior
to construction with stormwater pollution
prevention plans.
0 Landscape In have been completed in
accordance with Chapter 4 article 11.
0 Parking calculations have been provided for the
overall development. Additional coordination is
needed between the police and fire agencies in
regard to public access parking, and shared
use of the eastern parking lot.
0 The project has requested review by the
Quantum Park Architectural Committee for
comment and approval on the building
elevations, and approval for use of the master
drainage permit storage volumes and
discharge.
Pursuant to Article 11 Section 4 (Relief Application) Paragraph B, a Community Design Appeal
must demonstrate compliance with the following standards:
a) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: the use and orientation is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use Element recognizes that in industrial districts,
office uses are appropriate, and the proposed police services most closely resemble office
use in character, bay doors are necessary to house some of the larger vehicles and are
located in the NE corner of the site which minimizes aesthetic impacts to Gateway (which
is elevated adjacent to the NE corner, and High Ridge Road (which will also be screened
• a security wall.
b) Whether the proposed request will significantly detract from the livability or appearance of
the city, and will be consistent with the established or desired character of the area: The
proposed request is consistent with the character of businesses along High Ridge Road,
and the inclusion of overhead doors are necessary for the functionality of the proposed
police facility, which includes the intake and storage of vehicles to be used as evidence,
as well as specific purpose vehicles for use in police services. The visual impact of these
overhead doors is partially mitigated by a security wall surrounding the northern vehicular
area of the project.

e) [Thether the proposed request will have adverse environmental impacts that cannot bu--
prevented by the imposition of conditions: The proposed request does not trigger
additional environmental impacts which would be outside of the normal realm of resolution
through the imposition of conditions. The overhead doors are not typical to a retail
development, but are a natural and logical result of police operations, and are necessary
to both protect material evidence and chain of custody, preserve and protect valuable
departmental vehicular resources, and to avoid the de -facto reservation of parking areas
for these same purposes.
f) Whether the proposed request will have an adverse impact on property values of abutting
or adjacent land. The development of the vacant property adjacent to the existing fire
station, as an infill project and the logical extension of the previously approved fire station
project will add to the developed framework of non-residential properties along this portion
of High Ridge Road, and the development of infill properties serves to reduce supply and
raise demand for property which has a general effect of raising property values.
g) Whether the proposed request will seriously reduce the quality or quantity of light and air
available to adjacent properties- The depressed elevation of the property, relative to the
overpass for 1-95 and elevation of High Ridge Road means that the proposed overhead
doors are at a lower relative elevation to the surrounding rights of way and pedestrian
sidewalks, and as a result has no impact to the available quality or quantity of light and air
to adjacent properties.
h) Whether the proposed request is necessary to further the objectives of the city to assist
with economic development and business promotion. The continued provision of high
quality responsive police and fire rescue services is a vital component to the economic
and • development of the City.
i) 71,hether the proposed request meets the purpose and intent of these regulations •
conflicts with other site development standards or requirements including sustainable
development and green initiatives. The inclusion of overhead doors does not create other
conflicts within the land development regulations, nor does it have any negative impacts
to potential sustainability or green initiative programs.

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject request were mailed a
notice of this request and its respective hearing dates. The applicant
certifies that they posted signage and mailed notices in accordance with
Ordinance No. 04-007.
BACKGROUND
Proposal: Mr. Mark Rickards, agent, is requesting approval to allow the construction of
a two-story, 53,800 square foot police station and associated site
improvements immediately north of Fire Station #5. The original approval of
Fire Station #5 on the south half of the property in 2007 contemplated future
development by the City as Phase II. The agent has also submitted an
application for Community Design Appeal to address the overhead doors
proposed to face High Ridge Road.
ANALYSIS
Concurrency:
Traffic: A traffic study was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for their
review and information and, at the time of this report, the County has not
completed their review. The traffic study was performed by Kimley-Horn and
Associates and indicates that the project would generate a total of 56 AM
Peak Hour trips and 58 PM Peak Hour trips, with a total of 3,708 daily trips.
The study indicates that the easternmost nortbound lane of the intersection
of High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard should be converted to an
Page 58 of 91
Boynton Beach Gateway Police Station (MSPM 17-010)
Memorandum No PZ 18-006
Page 3
"exclusive right turn lane only", and with the suggested improvement,
concludes that the project will meet the requirements of Palm Beach County
Traffic Concurrency.
School: School Concurrency is not required for this type of project.
Utilities: The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to five (5)
million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities,
would meet the projected potable water for this project. Sufficient sanitary
sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is also currently available to serve
the project. As the future buildout of the site was contemplated during the
design and construction of Fire Station #5 immediately to the south, much of
the infrastructure was sized and placed in anticipation. Any extensions and
routing of facilities is being coordinated with Utility staff.
Police/Fire: The Police and Fire Departments have reviewed the site plan and all review
comments have been acknowledged by the applicant and will be addressed
at the time of permitting. Further plan review by Police and Fire will occur
during the building permit process.
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate
and is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be
deferred until time of permit review.
Access: One (1) point of full ingress/egress is proposed for the project, located at the
existing entance/exit for Fire Station #5. This driveway was originally
designed as a shared ingress/egress point in anticipation of the future
buildout of the site. A second point for egress only is proposed as a "right -out
only" driveway from the secured parking lot on the west side of the proposed
Police Station, approximately 200 feet north of the shared access driveway.
A sidewalk will be constructed along High Ridge Road for the length of the
4.92 acre site, and a walkway will be installed leading from the public
sidewalk to the building entrance.
Parking: The off-street parking requirements for the proposed police station have
been calculated utilizing standard office use calculations, plus use of parking
rates for storage uses (indoor vehicle storage and evidence storage). The
standard office calculation of one (1) parking per 300 square feet equates to
167 parking spaces required (53,800 — 3,867 evidence storage = 49,993
square feet). The 3,867 square feet of evidence storage calculated at one (1)
parking space per 1000 square feet adds four (4) parking spaces to the total
required. Lastly, the vehicle storage structure, proposed at 4,400 square feet,
is calculated at one (1) parking space per 1000 square feet, adding another
five (5) parking spaces, for a total of 176 parking spaces required.

Memorandum No PZ 18-006
Page 4
The site plan depicts the provision of 177 parking spaces for the Police
Station. Parking for the existing Fire Station, located between the two (2)
buildings is to be slightly altered as part of this site plan amendment. The
Fire Station parking requirements are 109 spaces, and 116 are provided.
The total required parking for the public safety complex (Police & Fire
combined) is 285 spaces and 293 spaces are being provided. The proposed
grassed parking area depicted on the east side of the Police Station will be
reviewed at time of permit submittal for compliance with the grassed parking
provisions of the Land Development Regulations (see Exhibit "C" —
Conditions of Approval).
Landscaping: The Plant List (Sheet L2.01) indicates that the project would contain a total of
79 canopy and 58 palm trees, 4,459 accent, shrub, and groundcover plants.
All plant materials to be used in the landscape design are required to be
Florida number one grade and must be identified as having "low or
"medium" watering needs in the South Florida Water Management's
"Waterwise" publication. The proposed tree species would include the
following: Oak, Gumbo Limbo, Green & Silver Buttonwood, Yellow Elder,
Pigeon Plum, Orange Geiger and Pink Tabebuia trees. Palm species would
include Medjool Date, Royal, Montgomery, Thatch, and Sabal. Typical shrubs
utilized in the plant scheme include Red Tip Cocoplum, Small Leaf Clusia,
Croton, Dwarf Firebush, Red Ixora, Wax Myrtle and Indian Hawthorne.
The Tree Disposition Plan (Sheet 1-1.01) indicates that 23 trees and 5 palms
are proposed to be removed and mitigated as part of the landscape design.
The total caliper inches being removed from the site is 226 inches, and 227
caliper inches are being planted as part of the mitigation. All proposed
mitigation plant materials are proposed to be canopy trees (Oak, Gumbo
Limbo, Green & Silver Buttonwood, Yellow Elder, Pigeon Plum, Orange
Geiger and Pink Tabebuia). Additionally, where possible, the applicant
proposes to relocate on site any quality/healthy trees and palms capable of
survival (6 Live Oak, 4 Gumbo Limbo and 5 Orange Geiger, plus 2 Medjool
Date Palms). Additionally, the required Quantum Park perimeter landscape
buffer of 30 foot in width is maintain with this design.
Building and Site: The proposed site area totals 4.92 acres, and is located at the base of the
Interstate 95 overpass emankment between the railroad and High Ridge
Road. As previously noted, the original approval of Fire Station #5 on the
south half of the property in 2007 contemplated future development of this
nothern portion of the site by the City as Phase II. The proposed site plan
depicts the placement of a 53,800 square foot Police Station building
immediately north of the existing parking field for Fire Station #5. An
accessory three (3) bay vehicle storage building, 4,800 square feet in size, is
proposed near the northeast corner of the site. This structure is intended to
be a Butler type building (pre -fab structure). As no drawings of the structure
were provided during site plan review, staff recommends that the structure be
clad with materials and paint colors that correspond to the material, design
and colors of the main structure.

Memorandum No PZ 18-006
Page 5
The proposed Police Station is designed as a two-story, tilt wall structure with
contemporary, clean line architecture. In addition to the standard police
operations, the building will contain a training room that also acts as space
for other community functions/activities. As noted above, a concurrent
application requesting approval of a Community Design Appeal of Chapter4,
Article III, Section 3.G., "Overhead doors facing rights-of-way" has been
submitted. This request is relative to the location of the overhead bay doors
for the west facade of the building, the sallyport and the vehicle storage
building facing High Ridge Road. The community design standards prohibit
overhead bay doors on facades facing selected highly visible roadways,
which are considered entrances into the City and/or carry a considerable
amount of daily traffic. The rationale is that buildings located on these
roadways should be held to a higher level of architectural standards. High
Ridge Road is one of those select roadways and therefore, the project as
designed is subject to the appeal process. As noted in the Community
Design Appeal staff report, the overhead bay doors are to be painted to
match the adjacent building walls to help the doors blend with the
surrounding walls, and several layers of screening are provided between the
street and the doors. The landscaping along the right-of-way is a minimum
25 feet in width and includes a six (6) foot tall masonry wall. Between the 25
foot wide landscape buffer and the doors are other landscape islands in the
parking lot, that would provide further screening of the doors from view.
Building Height: The maximum building height allowed in the PID (Planned Industrial
Development) zoning district is 45 feet. The proposed building elevations
depict the typical roof deck height of the building at 28 feet, with typical
parapet walls at approximately 32 feet.
Setbacks: The PID zoning district requires 30 foot building setbacks from the front, rear
and side corner property lines and 20 feet for the interior side property line.
The Police Station building, as situated on the site, has the following
setbacks: front — 53 feet; rear — approximately 200 feet; side corner— 97 feet;
and interior side — approximately 410 feet (property line south of Fire Station
#5). The vehicle storage building has closer setbacks to the north (side
corner) and east (rear): side corner — approximately 64 feet; and rear —
approximately 105 feet. In each instance, the required setbacks are satisfied.
Design: As previously noted, the Police Station is designed as a two-story, tilt wall
structure with contemporary, clean line architecture. The design features a
textured concrete finish, parapet roof, building score lines, stone veneer
(Keystone Coral) and trims, metal canopies, and impact resistant storefront
glass. The Sherwin-Williams color palette is off-white and gray colors: body
color - Snowbound (SW 7004) and trim/accent color — Gray Clouds (SW
7658). Certain locations on the building have the metal fascia and canopies
painted blue.

Lighting: The photometric plan (Sheet E -001a) includes 18 freestanding pole light
fixtures, all of which would be 25 feet in height. The poles would be
constructed of cast aluminum. There are no spot readings in excess of the
maximum 5.9 foot-candles allowed by code. The applicant will need to
provide a new Photometric Plan at time of permitting, reflecting the revised
parking layout and providing greater detail of the pole and light fixture design
and colors (see Exhibit "C" — Conditions of Approval).
Signage: Site and building signage has not been finalized. Prior to requesting any sign
permits for the site, the applicant will need to submit drawings for compliance
with the City's Sign Code (see Exhibit "C" — Conditions of Approval).
Public Art: The project is subject to the Art in Public Places requirement. The Public Art
component of the project will be one (1) percent of the estimated
construction value. Coordination with the Public Arts Manager will be
accomplished to determine the best way to incorporate art into the project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed this request for a major site plan modification and recommends APPROVAL,
subject to approval of the accompanying application for community design appeal and satisfying all
comments indicated 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.

REQUESTED ACTION BY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD: Approve MLK South
Rezoning (REZN 18-003) from MU -L2 (Mixed Use–Low Intensity 2 District) to MU -2 (Mixed Use 2 District)
to complete implementation of the CRA Community Redevelopment Plan's recommendation for the subject
2.97 acre area. Applicant: City -initiated.
EXPLANATION OF REQUEST:
The subject area, provisionally referred to as MILK South, consists of seventeen (17) parcels, ten (10) of
which are owned by Boynton Beach CRA. The remaining seven (7) parcels are privately owned, five of
which by a single entity. Thirteen of the parcels are currently vacant.
The subject request is city -initiated and consistent with the provisions of the Land Development Regulations
(LDRs). Since 2015, the LDRs have allowed the City to proactively initiate and process future land use
reclassification and rezoning to planned zoning districts for selected sites—if recommended by a significant
planning document(s)— without a concurrent review of a master plan. The request meets this condition as it
will implement the recommendation of the CRA Plan.
The request represents the continuation of "house cleaning" tasks following the CRA Plan -recommended
major changes to the City's future land use and zoning structure. The "nevi" FLU structure is now reflected in
the amended FLU map, with the subject property classified MXM, Mixed Use Medium. The
MXM classification allows a maximum density of 50 dwelling units/acre; its two corresponding zoning
designations, MU -2 and MU -3, have the respective maximum densities of 40 and 50 dwelling
units/acre. The subject property's current MU -L2 zoning—with a maximum density of 30 dwelling
units per acre—is part of the "old" structure and has been phased out.
The proposed MU -2 zoning district, otherwise essentially the same district as MU -L2, nevertheless allows for
a significantly higher maximum density than the existing designation (40 versus 30 dwelling units/acre). Since
the new zoning structure does not include a district with the same density cap, MU -L2 is the appropriate
choice, consistent with the recommendations of the CRA Plan.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES? No significant impact on City services
or programs; however, depending on the type of future project, the developer will have to coordinate water,
sewer and stormwater improvements with the Utilities Department.
FISCAL IMPACT: The future project will contribute to the City's tax base.
ALTERNATIVES: None recommended.

City's Public Works facility, classified Public and Private
Governmental/ Institutional and zoned PU (Public Usage);
East: Northeast, rental triplex, then St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church;
southeast, a duplex, then a vacant property, and further east
developed single-family homes. All classified Medium Density
Residential (MeDR) and zoned R-2 (Single -and Two -Family
Residential);
West: Commercial property (Family Dollar), classified Local Retail
Commercial (LRC) and zoned C-2 (Neighborhood Commercial);
farther west, right-of-way for North Seacrest Boulevard.
BACKGROUND AND PROCESS
The subject area, provisionally referred to as MLK South, consists of seventeen (17)
parcels, ten (10) of which are owned by Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA). The remaining seven (7) parcels are privately owned, five of which by a
single entity. Thirteen of the parcels are currently vacant.
The subject request is city -initiated and consistent with the procedural provisions of
the Land Development Regulations (LDRs). Since 2015, the LDRs have allowed the
City to proactively initiate and process future land use reclassification and rezoning to
planned zoning districts for selected sites—if recommended by a significant planning
document(s)— without a concurrent review of a master plan.
This request meets the latter condition as it will implement a recommendation of the
CRA Plan. It explicitly meets criterion "b"—consistency with redevelopment plans—of
the criteria for review of Comprehensive Plan Map amendments and rezonings listed in
the LDR, Chapter 2, Article II. Meeting criterion "b" is the minimum requirement for city -
initiated applications.
Lastly, the request represents the continuation of "house cleaning" tasks following major
changes to the City's future land use/zoning structure as part of the implementation of the
CRA Plan. Another, similar city -initiated application—seeking rezoning of properties in

consistency with the said new structure and with the site-specific recommendations of the
CRA Plan—is being processed concurrently.
EXPLANATION
This request, if approved, would constitute the final action to bring the properties in line
with the Plan's recommendations. The previous actions executing said recommendations
and affecting the property included -
The July 18, 2017 adoption of the Comprehensive Plan text/ Future Land Use (FLU)
map amendment package which implemented the modified FLU structure
recommended by the CRA Plan. The package included the FLU amendment
reclassifying the subject property from its previous Mixed Use category, which the
Plan eliminated, to the new Mixed Use Medium category, per the area- specific
FLU recommendations of the Plan.
• The subsequent adoption, on September 19, 2017, of amendments to the Land
Development Regulations (LDRs), codifying the new structure of the FLU categories
and implementing the corresponding changes to zoning designations as
recommended by the CRA Plan. The changes included reconfiguration of the FLU
classification/zoning district scheme, establishment of new districts, redefining the
maximum densities of some districts and minor changes to the district titles for
consistency within the system. One of the new districts is the MU -2 (Mixed Use 2)
District, requested for and now available for the subject property.
The properties' Mixed Use Medium future land use classification allows a maximum
density of 50 dwelling units/acre; its two corresponding zoning designations, MU -2 and
MU -3, have the respective maximum densities of 40 and 50 dwelling units/acre. The
subject property's MU -L2 current zoning—with a maximum density of 30 dwelling units
per acre—is part of the "old" structure and as such will be phased out.
The proposed MU -2 zoning district, otherwise essentially the same district as MU -L2,
nevertheless allows for a significantly higher maximum density than the existing
designation (40 versus 30 dwelling units/acre). Since the new zoning structure does not
include a district with the same density cap, MU -L2 is the appropriate choice, consistent
with the recommendations of the CRA Plan.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
As indicated herein, the proposed rezoning finalizes the implementation of the
recommendation of the CRA Community redevelopment Plan for the MLK South
properties. Therefore, staff recommends that the subject request be approved.

REQUESTED ACTION BY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD:
Approve Neelam (fka Schnars) Business Center Rezoning (REZN 18-004) from MU -L (Mixed Use Low
District) to MU -1 (Mixed Use 1 District) to complete implementation of the CRA Community Redevelopment
Plan's recommendation for the subject 0.52 acre property. Applicant: City -initiated.
EXPLANATION OF REQUEST:
The subject property, provisionally referred to as Neelam Business Center, consists of 2 (two) parcels in the
Federal Highway District North as designated by the 2016 CRA Community Redevelopment Plan.The
property was approved for an office/retail project in 2005; the site plan has since expired and the site is
currently vacant.
The subject request is city -initiated and consistent with the provisions of the Land Development Regulations
(LDRs). Since 2015, the LDRs have allowed the City to proactively initiate and process future land use
reclassification and rezoning to planned zoning districts for selected sites—if recommended by a significant
planning document(s)—without a concurrent review of a master plan. This request meets the latter condition
as it will implement a recommendation of the CRA Plan.
The request represents the continuation of "house cleaning" tasks following CRA Plan -recommended major
changes to the City's future land use and zoning structure. The "nevi" FLU structure is now reflected in the
amended FLU map, with the subject property classified MXL, Mixed Use Low.
The MXL classification allows for a maximum density of 20 dwelling units/acre and has only one
corresponding zoning designation, MU -1. Therefore, MU -1 is the only designation that is consistent with the
recommendation of the CRA Plan. Note that Mixed Use Low, the property's current zoning designation,
permits a significantly higher maximum density of 40 du/acre. However, this designation has effectively been
defunct since the 2004 code amendments.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES? No significant impact on City services
or programs; however, depending on the type of future project, the developer will have to coordinate water,
sewer and stormwater improvements with the Utilities Department.
FISCAL IMPACT: The future project will contribute to the City's tax base.
ALTERNATIVES: None recommended.

BACKGROUND AND PROCESS
The subject property, provisionally referred to as Neelam Business Center, consists of 2
(two) parcels in the Federal Highway District North as designated by the 2016 CRA
Community Redevelopment Plan (the CRA Plan). The property was approved for an
office/retail project in 2005; the site plan has since expired and the site is currently
