TO: CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS

FROM: CARMEN S. ANNUNZIATO I PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN
PARKING LOT VARIANCE
"I
,
Section 5-145(c)(4) of the Code of Ordinances requires that when
a variance to Section 5, Article X, Parking Lots is requested,
the" Technical Review Board must forward to the Planning and
Zoning Board a recommendation I and that the recommendation
forwarded is to be made part of the pUblic hearing proceedings.
To that end, this memo is forwarded I consistent with 5-145(c)(4).
Siteworks Architects and Planners, Inc. I agent. for Juan Gavilan,
Trustee I is requesting a variance to Section 5-142(h)(3)
"Driveways" of the Parking Lot Regulations which requires I among
other things I that no driveways may be constructed closer than
180 feet to the intersection of the rights-of-way' lines on
streets of a higher classification (arterials/collectors). East
Boynton Beach Boulevard is classified as a Minor Arterial
according to the 1985 Functional Classification within the
Traffic and Circulation Element of the 1986 Comprehensive Plan
Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The property in question is
located at the northwest corner of East Boynton Beach Boulevard
and N.E. 1st Street. In this instance, the applicant is
requesting to be permitted to construct a twenty-four (24) foot
wide driveway onto East Boynton Beach Boulevard approximately 158
feet from the intersecting right-of-way lines between East
Boynton Beach Boulevard and N.E. 1st Street. The variance
request is being submitted in connection with requests for
approval of a conditional use application for a drive-thru
restaurant I a site plan, an abandonment application for a
fourteen (14) foot wide service alley and a land use element
amendment/rezoning application for the north seven (7) feet of
the service alley to allow for local retail commercial land use
and C-3 zoning. For an explanation of the code requirement I the
nature of the variance requested I and the variance justification,
please refer to the attached Notice of Public Hearing and
application.
On Tuesday, September 6, 1988, the Technical Review Board (TRB)
met to review the plans and documents submitted and to formulate
a recommendation with regard to the variance requested. After
review and discussion I the TRB recommended that the variance
request be denied. The reasons for this recommendation are as
follows:
1. It is the opinion of the Technical Review Board
that the proximity of the proposed driveway to
the intersection of N.E. 1st Street and Boynton
Beach Boulevard (158 feet) will encourage hazardous
traffic movements, including conflicting left
turn movements and conflicts with the existing
City emergency service facilities (fire and police).
2. Although the traffic analysis submitted indicates
that the proposed urban design plan for Boynton Beach
Boulevard includes provisions for the construction
of a curbed and landscaped median adjacent to. the
proposed driveway (which would limit the turn
movements to right turn-in/right-turn out only) and
(2)
2
that a traffic signal is proposed for the intersection
of N.E. 1st street and Boynton Beach Boulevard, it is
not known if and when these improvements are to be
constructed I as the urban design plan for Boynton
Beach Boulevard has not been formally adopted and
there is no schedule for the construction of the
proposed median improvements " and the proposed
traffic signal would not be constructed unless
determined to be warranted at some time in the
future by the County Traffic Engineer.
3. A driveway onto East Boynton Beach Boulevard at this
location would be inconsistent with the proposed
urban design plan for Boynton Beach Boulevard.

MEMORANDUM
September 7, 1988
TO: CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
FROM: CARMEN S. ANNUNZIATO I PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN
.
After having submitted a site plan for review by the Technical
Review Board at the August 2, 1988 meeting which incorporated a
fourteen (14) foot wide unimproved service alley located along
the north side of the property I the project architect was
informed that the north seven (7) feet of this alley could not be
utilized without a land use element amendment/rezoning request
from "Medium Density Residential" land use to "Local Retail" land
use and a concurrent rezoning from R-2 to C-3. An application
for this change has since been submitted and is being processed
for October public hearings.
Based on the above, it is recommended that this project be
postponed and that the public hearings for the abandonment (item
6.A.1), the parking lot variance (item 6.A.2) and the Conditional
Use (item 6.A.3) be continued to the October 11, 1988 meeting at
8:00 p.m. An announcement should also be made that the public
hearings for the abandonment and conditional use requests will be
held before the City Commission on October 18th at 7:00 p.m. or
as soon thereafter as the agenda permits.

I
INTRODUCTION
I The City of Boynton Beach has been requested to approve a site
plan for a Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant.
The approximate
r--
t
I one-half acre site is located in the northwest quadrant of the
I
I
intersection of N.E. 1st Street and Boynton Beach Boulevard
(Exhibit 1).
-
i
I
The proposed site plan has been reviewed by the City's Technical
-
!
I Review Board. Both the Technical Review Board and the Planning
Department staff have requested a traffic study. The expressed
-
I
,
i
purpose of this study is to address the following:
1. Compatibility with the proposed urban design plan.
2. The interaction of project generated traffic with
existing traffic or adjacent roadways.
3. The interaction of project generated traffic with
traffic generated by existing facilities including the
-
I
!
City's emergency function.
-
,
PROJECT DATA
The proposed plan is typical of the current design and operation
,-
for Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurants. There will be a small
interior seating area (approximately 50 seats) and drive-thru
service window facilities. Twenty-five (25) on-site parking
- 1 -
-
!
A/1
spaces will be provided
(24 required)
including two
(2)
handicapped spaces. Access to the site will be via a driveway on
N.E. 1st Street and a driveway on Boynton Beach Boulevard.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
PM peak hour manual turning movement counts were conducted at the
-
,
Boynton Beach Bou1evard/N.E. 1st Street intersection during the
week of August 15, 1988. These traffic counts were taken during
the hours of 4: 00 PM to 6: 00 PM and recorded in fifteen (15)
minute increments. Twenty-four hour traffic data, including peak
season, off-peak season and Average Daily Traffic volumes I
provided by the Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) was reviewed and analyzed.
This data was
-
I
utilized in developing factors for converting the peak hour
-
,
traffic counts, taken during the off-peak season, to represent an
average annual condition.
-
I
I
The Boynton Beach Bou1evard/N.E. 1st Street peak hour
traffic vol:umes were converted to average annual volumes using
the factors as discussed above.
These volumes were analyzed
-
using the unsignalized intersection capacity analysis procedures
contained in the TRB' s Circular 212 in combination with the
existing geometric configuration to determine current operating
conditions.
This analysis (Exhibit 2) shows that both legs of
N.E. 1st Street are presently operating with long delays. This
is not unexpected given the configuration of the N.E. 1st Street
~ approaches (one lane) to Boynton Beach Boulevard and the traffic
volumes on the Boulevard.
-
1
- 2 -
)A 10
I
,....
I
Discussions with representatives of the City indicate that delays
I
also occur during the peak season.
Vehicles on the south
approach of N.E. 1st Street queue beyond the Fire Station exit
,....
i
and impede emergency vehicles.
On occasions I during the peak
-
!
hour,
vehicles
also
queue
through
the N .E.
1st
Street
intersection along .Boynton Beach Boulevard. The westbound queue
-
,
I
begins
at
the
Seacrest Boulevard/Boynton Beach BoulevarQ
intersection and the eastbound queue occurs when a train is
-
I
moving through the City.
-
RECOMMENDATIONS TO ALLEVIATE EXISTING CONCERNS
Field surveys I traffic movement observations and additional
intersection
capacity
analysis
indicates
that
geometric
modifications will not substantially improve operating conditions
-
i
I
!
or reduce queue lengths. It appears that the answer is to change
the existing traffic control at this intersection. Replacing the
-
: existing emergency signal equipment with a fully operational
traffic signal would solve a majority of the concerns and still
-
,
provide the emergency access needs of the Fire Station.
,....
I
!
In
order
to
provide
full
traffic
signalization
several
modifications to the existing hardware and operational equipment,
including _but not limited to the signal heads and the control
box, would be required. This signal would also be interconnected
with the Seacrest Boulevard/Boynton Beach Boulevard traffic
signal and Boynton Beach Boulevard sign~ls located east of N.E.
1st Street at the railroad tracks. This interconnect would allow

signals.
In addition I the Seacrest Boulevard/Boynton Beach
Boulevard intersection would also be equipped with emergency
pre-emption capabilities. This may require a new controller for
this signal.
The operational
advantages of this
system are numerous I
particularly during an emergency situation.

FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Staff has expressed a concern as to future traffic conditions and
I the potential impacts on the City's ability to provide emergency
services at acceptable response times.
There is particular
concern relative to N.E. 1st Street, Boynton Beach Boulevard and
-
I
I
the N.E. 1st Street/Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection. Future
traffic conditions will be determined by the following vehicular
-
!
and geometric developments.
-
,
1.
Increases in background traffic volumes.

2.
Opening of the City's parking garage immediately south

4. Implementation of the Urban Design Plan including
improvements to N.E. 1st Street and the landscaped
median along Boynton Beach Boulevard.
Historic traffic data, provided by the Palm Beach County MPO, was
reviewed and analyzed to determine historic traffic growth rates.
Although traffic volumes have fluctuated during the last several
years they have increased at a rate of approximately 2.75 percent
.
per year compounded.
This rate will be applied to existing
- . volumes to project future background volumes.
A new City parking garage is presently under construction at the
intersection of N.E. 1st Street and N.E. 1st Avenue immediately
south of the Fire Station.
Entrances/exits will be located on
- both 1st Street and 1st Avenue. Although it is anticipated that
a majority of the traffic will use the N.E. 1st- Avenue
entrance/exit and travel to Seacrest Boulevard I a substantial
volume will also use N.E. 1st street.
- Traffic volumes associated with the proposed Kentucky Fried
Chicken are estimated using trip generation rates contained in
: the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) I report entitled
-
I
I rates and the resultant daily and peak hour trips are shown on
"Trip Generation" I Fourth Edition. Appropriate trip generation
".-
!
Exhibit 3.
These volumes are assigned to the street network I
intersection and driveways serving the site. This assignment is
shown on Exhibit 4. It is important to note that these are not
all new trips. ITE research has shown that approximately fifty
I
i
I
- 6 -
J$(/j
r
I
--
percent of peak hour trips associated with fast food restaurants
are captured from the adjacent traffic stream. These trips are
merely diverted from the passing traffic and do not represent new
trips.
The City of Boynton Beach is in the process of adopting an Urban
Design Plan for Boynton Beach Boulevard.
This proposed plan
recommends two (2) elements that are important to this analysis:
the widening of N. E. 1st Street and a landscaped median on
- .
Boynton Beach Boulevard.
Based on the traffic projection methodology and the roadway
improvements discussed above I an analysis of future traffic
conditions was undertaken. The analysis (Exhibit 5) shows that
-
this intersection will operate at an acceptable level of service
(LOS "A") during the PM peak hour if the traffic signal
improvements previously recommended are implemented.
r
SITE CIRCULATION
Access to the site will be via driveway connections to/from both
N.E. 1st Street and Boynton Beach Boulevard.
Access to the
I drive-thru window will be predominantly from N.E. 1st Street.
,
The drive-thru will have storage for a maximum of four (4)
I
,
vehicles.
An additional three (3) or four (4) vehicle can be
I
stored on site.
The driveway to/from Boynton Beach Boulevard
will be limited to right turn in and right turn out movements.
I
- 7 -
Yf:JO
I
The proposed median on Boynton Beach Boulevard will prevent left
turn movements and eliminate conflicts with the Fire Station.
CONCLUSIONS
.....
I
I
i
Installation of a fully operation traffic signal at the N.E. 1st
Street/Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection will improve traffic
.....
control and flow.
The signal would increase the carrying
capacity of N.E. 1st Street, enhance access to the City's parking
garage and reduce potential conflicts with emergency vehicles.
- .
The additional traffic generated by the proposed Kentucky Fried
Chicken Restaurant will not have a significant impact on traffic
operations in the area. Based on research by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers approximately one-half of the traffic to
and from the proposed restaurant is already travelling on
adjacent streets. Construction of the proposed landscaped median
r along Boynton Beach Boulevard and signalization of the N.E. 1st
Street/Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection will reduce the
i impact of conflicting traffic movements. Left turn movements to
and from the restaurant would be made under signal control only
-
,
at N .E. 1st Street.
Turning movements at the Boynton Beach
r Boulevard driveway would be right turn in and out onlYI further
I
reducing traffic conflicts.
