that was previously occupied by Marie
Callender's restaurant. Site plan approval
was granted in 1990 for a seating capacity of
206.
Proposed
Development:
This request proposes modifying the exterior
of the building to tailor it to Macaroni
Grill's corporate identity and to increase the
seating capacity of the restaurant from 206 to

Concurrency:
Traffic - The project is vested for traffic
concurrency as an outparcel of the Catalina
Shopping Center.
Drainage Drainage certification is not
needed since no changes to the parking lot or
paved areas is requested.
Driveways:
The outparcel relies on cross access with the
Catalina Center shopping center to provide
access since it does not have direct access to
a public right-of-way. The shopping center
has a two-way, major driveway off of Congress
Avenue which serves not only the subject
restaurant, but also the Holiday Inn.
Parking
Facility:
The Catalina Center shopping center, the
Holiday Inn, the subj ect restaurant and the
future (unbuilt) 75,000 square foot
office/health club building to be located
immediately west of the Holiday Inn were
approved under a shared parking agreement (and
also cross access agreements). Consistent
with code, the shared parking agreement for
the center (originating in 1985) permits fewer
than the city required number of parking
spaces, based on data that indicates that due
to the type and mixture of all the uses under
the agreement, sharing of parking can occur.
Sharing of parking can occur without
competition for the same parking when the peak
parking demand for one use occurs at a
different time of day than the use (s) with
which it is sharing parking. For example,
retail uses have a peak parking demand at
approximately 1:00 in the afternoon, whereas
motel uses have a peak parking demand between
lO:OO at night and 6:00 in the morning.
The shared parking study for the center has
been revised many times in the past as part of
development of the property and changes in
building occupants. With the exception of the
future office building previously mentioned,
the property is built out. This office
building was approved in 1988 and has expired,
however traffic concurrency was vested as a
result of a plat which was recorded. This
site plan approval would have provided 93
parking spaces to share among the various uses
covered under the shared parking study. The
study continues to assume sharing of this
future parking (see further comment on this
below) .
The shared parking study was last revised in
1994 to allow conversion of the former Flagler
Bank building within the center to a Boston
Chicken restaurant. The shared parking study
approved at that time indicated that the peak
parking demand for the overall center was 8:00
P.M. weekdays and provided the required 10%
c2

buffer, plus a surplus of one parking space.
The study used Boynton Beach generation rates
for those uses specified in the city's code
and ULI rates for uses not specifically set
forth in the code.
The approved shared parking study has been
revised to reflect the request for 42
additional seats which would otherwise require
17 additional parking spaces to be provided.
A copy of the shared parking study is attached
in Exhibit C. The major difference in the
proposed study and previous studies for the
center and other studies approved in the city
for various uses, is that a different
methodology from the previous study has been
used. Rather than using Boynton Beach
generation rates, the study reflects a
combination of ULI and ITE rates, which
require less parking than city rates, in
addition to apply shared parking/ maximum
parking accumulation at peak parking demand.
The applicant states that use of these rates
is justified based on actual field counts that
were taking on site during times the applicant
considered to be peak hour and peak season.
Staff cannot support the shared parking study
submitted based on a determination that
although the code allows for shared parking
using ULI (or equivalent) data to determine
parking accumulation, it does not allow relief
from the city's parking ratios; relief from
the city's parking ratios is appropriately
provided through the variance process.
Furthermore, staff's position is that the code
reference to use of field studies and traffic
counts, where appropriate, is not appropriate
in this case since the uses and combination of
uses are not unique and are already documented
in ULI and ITE publications.
Landscaping:
The proposed development includes all required
minimum landscaping required by code.
Building and
Site
Regulations:
The proposed development meets the
requirements of the building and site
regulations. Total site area is 11,912 square
feet, building coverage is 8,998 square feet
or seventy-five percent (75%) and the height
of the existing one-story building is twenty-
two feet (22').
Community
Design Plan:
As previously mentioned, the exterior of the
existing building is to be modified to
incorporate Macaroni Grill's corporate colors,
features and materials to the greatest extent
possible, while maintaining an architectural
continuity with the rest of the
Spanish/Mediterranean style shopping center.
The color of the stucco building will be
changed from a light peach to a very dark
peach. Some of the shutters will be changed

from off-white to dark green and some from
off -whi te to tan. The teal canvas awnings
will be replaced with medium brown awnings.
Lastly a new arched entrance feature will be
constructed which will have a rustic stone
veneer.
Signage:
Building signage will be dark green and red.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff comments are attached in Exhibit D Administrative
Conditions. Consistent with the above discussion and concerns with
the shared parking study, this request is recommended for approval,
with the exception of the requested increase in seating.

out the applicant's concerns with comment 5, regarding the building
exterior changes. Please note that although the recommendation is
for approval of the request, the staff comments include a negative
recommendation regarding the shared parking methodology and
therefore, increase in seating.
With respect to exterior elevations, comment 5 is proposed to read
as follows:
5. Retain the existing building color, change the color of
the awnings from brown to dark green and limit use of
stone veneer to the columns on all sides of the building
and to the arched door entrance feature on the north
elevation. This has been discussed with the applicant who
has granted acceptance, subject to his field visit.

3. The shared parking report dated January 21 1996
from Berry & Calvin, Inc. is not acceptable since
it does not use Boynton Beach generation rates.
Therefore, a variance for parking is needed or a
reduction in seating to the original 206. If the
City Commission approves the study, a note shall
be added to the site plan to reference the date
and conclusion of the study.
4. Correct the elevation drawing discrepancy between
the materials/colors shown in the legend and the
corresponding materials/colors on the various
elevations.
Recommendations:
5. Change the color of the walls of the building
from dark peach to a shade of tan lighter than
that proposed for the trim and change the color
of the awnings from brown to dark green. Minimal
use of the stone veneer is also recommended for
the columns and main entrance only.
6. Use melaleuca mulch instead of cypress mulch.

SUBJECT:
Romano's Macaroni Grill at Catalina Center Plat No.1
(File No. MSMP 95-008)
Major site plan modifioation (renovation of an existing
vacant restaurant building)
Please place the above-referenced request under Development Plans
for the January 16, 1995 City Commission agenda.
DESCRIPTION: The above request was submitted by Roscoe L. Biby,
P.E. with Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. agent for Kevin Connell,
Brinker International, to renovate the exterior of an existing
vacant restaurant building for use as a new restaurant with an
increase of 42 seats. Since no additional parking is proposed to be
added for the increase in seating, a shared parking study is also
part of this request. The restaurant is located at 1501 N. Congress
Avenue, an outparcel within the Catalina Shopping Center,
previously occupied by Marie Callender's restaurant.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Development Board, with a 6 - 1
vote, recommended approval of this request, subj ect to staff
comments in Exhibit "C" including staff and the applicant working
out the applicant's concerns with comment 5, regarding the building
exterior changes. Please note that although the recommendation is
for approval of the request, the staff comments include a negative
recommendation regarding the shared parking methodology and
therefore, increase in seating,
With respect to exterior elevations, comment 5 is proposed to read
as follows:
5. Retain the existing building color, change the color of
the awnings from brown to dark green and limit use of

Re:
Romano's Macaroni Grill at Catalina Center
1501 North Congress Avenue
In reviewing the above captioned plans, the Building Division
observed the following:
There is a discrepancy between the Site Plan and the Landscaping
Sheet. Proposed pedestrian walkways connecting to sidewalks on
the Site Plan are not shown on the Landscaping plan,
The sidewalk appears to terminate at a light pole, Adjustments
need to be made to alleviate difficulties for pedestrians in
wheelchairs. This can be done before permitting, therefore, we
recommend the project going forward.
All previous concerns outlined in our 10/11/95 Memorandum No.
95-375 have been addressed.

SUBJECT: Major Site Plan Modification - 2nd Review

The following is a list of comments regarding the second review of
the above-referenced project. It should be noted that the comments
are divided into two (2) categories. The first category is a list
of comments that identify unresolved comments either from the first
review or new comments as a result of the second review. To show
compliance with these comments will not substantially alter the
configuration of the site and design of the building. The second
category is a list of recommendations I believe will enhance the
aesthetics and function of the project.
All comments and recommendations can be rectified on the plans at
time of permitting if the site plan request is approved. The
applicant must understand that additional comments may be generated
upon review of the documents and working drawings submitted to the
Building Division for permits for the proposed project.
I. SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS:
1. The shared parking report dated August 23, 1995, is not
acceptable. A 10% buffer was not added to all of the
spaces in Table 7 that were determined to be required at
peak as required by code (Table 7 shall be the basis for
acceptance as it reflects Boynton Beach generation
rates) .
The applicant's response to the Planning Department's
first review comments dated November 8, 1995 is not
sufficient to address the Boynton Beach generation rates
as required by the Boynton Beach Land Development
Regulations. A reduction of seats in the proposed
restaurant is the only remedial action available to meet
the City's requirement.
II. RECOMMENDATIONS
2. Signage should be addressed administratively at the time
of permit review.
3 . Recommend using melaleuca mulch instead of cypress mulch.
DDC:dim

2. Each. town house shall have a direct automotive access
from the off-street parking space to a public street.

and shall be approved according to the procedures
contained therein.
2. All off-street parking facilities shall be maintained
and drained so as not to cause nuisance or danger to
the public, or to adjacent public or private
property.
3. A certificate of occupancy for a structure or
premises shall not be issued until the required
parking area has been inspected and approved by the
development director.
4. Driveways shall satisfy the parking space
requirements for single-family detached dwelling
units, duplexes, and multifamily dwelling units
containing garages, provided such driveways are of
sufficient size to meet the parking space
requirements of this subsectioD.
5. No fewer than four (4) parking spaces shall be
provided for any nonresidential use.
6. Stabilized sod may be substituted for up to fifty
(50) per cent of the required parking spaces, where
eighty (80) per cent or more of the parking demand
falls within a twenty-four-hour period each week.
Sod may be substituted only for the area of parking
stalls. All driveways, aisles, and maneuvering areas
shall be hard-surfaced and shall conform to the
design ~irements contained in Chapter 23 of the
City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations.
Sod parking stalls shall have a base consisting of
not less than eight (8) inches of stabilized shell
rock, lime rock, or sand, or an equivalent material
as approved by the development director. Sod parking
areas shall have dimensions equivalent to the
dimensions of paved parking areas with ninety (90)
degree parking stalls and two-way traffic in aisles,

as specified in Chapter 23 of the City of Boynton
Beach Land Development Regulations.
7. Parking space requirements shall be computed on the
basis of the principal use of a structure or lot, and
using gross floor area unless stated otherwise in
paragraph 16 of this subsection. Gross floor area,
for the purposes of this subsection, shall include
the floor area occupied by the principal use, plus
the floor area occupied by all aceessory uses,
including storage rooms, maintenance and mechanical
rooms, offices, lounges, restrooms, lobbies,
basements, mezzanines, and hallways.
8. Where several principal uses exist in one structure
or on one lot, parking space requirements shall be
computed separately for each principal use, unless
stated otherwise in paragraph 16 of this subsection.
Where parking spaces are required in paragraph 16 for
each of several principal uses that commonly occur
together, this is done for the purpose of
clarification only, and shall not limit the
application of the requirement contained in this
paragraph.
9. A use shall be considered a principal use, for the
purposes of this subsection, if it could exist
separately from all other uses in the same structure
or on the same lot, and would by itself generate
significant parking demand.
10. Where a use is located in a shopping center, office
building, or office-retail complex, the parking space
requirement for the shopping center, office building,
or office-retail complex in which it is located shall
apply; except that where a theater is located in a
shopping center the parking space requirement for
theaters shall apply for the seating or gross floor
area of the theater.
11. Where several principal uses exist in one building or
part of a building, and the floor area of each
principal use cannot be clearly delineated, the
parking space requirement for the use requiring the
greatest number of parking spaces shall apply.
12. Where a use is not listed below, parking space
requirements shall be determined by the City
Commission after review and recommendation by the
planning and development board.
13. Parking spaces required in this ordinance for one use
or structure may be allocated in part or in whole for
the required parking spaces of another use or

structure if quantitative evidence is provided
showing that parking demand for the different uses or
structures would occur on different days of the week
or at different hours. Quantitative evidence shall
include estimates for peak hour/peak season parking
demand based on statistical data furnished by the
Urban Land Institute or an equivalent traffic
engineering or land planning and design organization.
Quantitative evidence may also include, where
appropriate, field studies and traffic counts
prepared by a traffic consultant experienced in the
preparation of parking studies. In addition, a
minimum buffer of ten (10) percent shall be provided
to ensure that a sufficient number of parking spaces
are available at the peak hour/peak season of parking
demand. Calculation of said buffer shall be based on
the total number of parking spaces determined to be
required at the peak hour/peak season of parking
demand. Evidence for joint allocation of required
parking space shall be submitted to the technical
review board, and approval of joint allocation of
required parking spaces shall be made by the City
Commission, after review and recommendations by the
planning and development board.
14. Where the number of required parking spaces as
computed includes a fraction, the number of required
parking spaces shall be the computed number rounded
to the next highest whole number.
15. There shall be provided off-street handicapped
parking spaces consistent with Chapter 23, Article
II.K of the Boynton Beach Land Development
Regulations at the time of the erection of any
structure or the enlargement of any structure.

of any structure or establishment of any use, a
number of off-street parking spaces in accordance
with the following minimum requirements, and subject
to paragraphs 1 through 15 of this subsection. Where
a structure or use is enlarged or increased in
capacity by any means, including a change in building
occupancy which requires the provision of additional
parking spaces, or a change in use to or e which
requires additional parking spaces, the minimum
number of parking spaces shall be computed by
applying these requirements to the entire structure
or use.

11. The City's code allows for peak parking demand based on statistical
data furnished by the Urbau Land Institute (ULI) or other
recognized land planning and design organizations. We have'
included a 10% buffer to the ULI and ITE rates as eXplained in
Kimley'Horn's letter dated September 27,1995 (attached). It is our
professinal opinion that adding 10% to the ULI rates provides an
adequately conservative buffer. The City parking rates have
included a buffer within them to account for fluctuations. Adding'
an additional 10% above the City rates would be more conservative
than necessary as stated in the same letter. There is a clarification
or correction that should be pointed out in the August 23, 1995
parking study. On page 4, fourth paragraph, representation was
made that sufficient parkiug spaces are provided on site even
without considering shared parking spaces based on ULI and ITE
rates. That would only be true using ITE rates. In reponse to
shared parking during weekend time frames, the weekend would not
be the critical peak parking usage because of the absence of the
office use.
12. So noted.
We trust these responses and the enclosed plans and documentation will be
sufficient for staff to recommend approval of this project to the Planning
and Development Board and schedule this item for the December 12, 1995
meeting.
In the meantime, please call if you have any questions or need additional
information.
