It is proposed to annex this parcel of land into the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. This Analysis has been performed in order to determine the volume of traffic expected to be added to the roadway system as a re su 1 t (If the approva 1 of this pro j ect , the effect that this tiaffic will have on the capacity of the roadways in the area of the project and what roadway improvements, if any, are necessary as a result of the approval of this project. This Analysis has also been performed in accordance with both the standards and criteria as established in the Zoning Code of the City of Boynton Beach and the technical requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance #87-18. Existing traffic counts, which were available from the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Palm Beach County Traffic Division were used, when applicable, and these counts IIJere augmented by twenty-four (24) hour machine counts and peak hour hand counts performed for this office. SITE_JNFOBl1ATJON According to the Site Plan, as prepared by Kilday & Associ- ates, a 120,000 square foot large scale shopping center is planned for this 14 acre parcel. The Site Plan reflects approxi- mately 110,375 square feet of retail space with one major anchor and with two defined outparcel uses. As proposed, this s~te will have two points of access onto Boynton Beach Boulevard. The westerly drive will be a right turn in / right turn out only driveway. The easterly drive will be direct 1 y al igned with Mall Road and will be under signaLized contro-I.. The site is located in relation to the surrounding roadway system as shown in Figure 1. EXISTING_ ROADWAY COND.JTIONS The major roadway providing direct access to the site is Boynton Beach Boulevard. Boynton Beach Boulevard in the immedi- ate area of the project exists as a six lane roadway. The Flori- da Department of Transportation (FDOT) has plans to widen Boynton Beach Boulevard to a four lane divided road from one half mile west of Florida's Turnpike to Military Trail. According to the most recent FDOT Work Schedule, this roadway construction will commence in the fourth quarter of 1990. In addition I FDOT has plans to construct an interchange at Florida's Turnpike with Boynton Beach Boulevard. The construction of the interchange is scheduled to commence in the Spring of 1990. There are several other roadway improvements in the project study area which will affect this project's status with the Tra f fie Performance Standards Ordinance. A summary of these improvements are presented below: ]1i 1 i~arL Tra..lL_ A. Boynton Beach Boulevard to Hypoluxo Road will be con- structed as a six lane roadway by Palm Beach County with con- struction anticipated to commence by the middle of March of this year. The contract for construction is in the process of being let. As construction of this section Military Trail is expected to commence prior to the approval of this project, this Report will assume that Military Trail has been constructed. -2- _(L'A't.f ",".OO"""HICS JI}UC Ji O^1a w J.S3l;j~'d3S > 0 <( > ...J ID .......-: to- -"" :--.... -.........: V- i S6-1 -......;..... ~ ~ ~~ --~ ~ ~ :J: LLI 0/ I- > It) <( - 0 a: , M I C\I :I: 0 <( ~ ~ LLI ID rJ) rJ) 0 3^'d z SS3l;j~NO~ 0 0 a: a: I- 0 Z a: >- 0 Ol;j 0 0 ID 11Vw- r.'I":""7:r1 <( Z cC'''--l I 0 C\I i ON I a: a: LLI ~I I ~ I I Ol;j HJ.nN>l I I I I I <( I I 9 a~ 3~N3l;jMY1 I I I z I 0 I I- U. ~ 0 z W ...J W ...J >- > 0 :.:: z 0 0 <( <( 0 Cl ~ ID ...J -J 11'd~J.

TR~~ENERATION The trip generation rates for this proposed project were determined based upon information published in "Trip Generation - Fourth Edltion", Institute of Transportation Engineers, 1987. From ITE Land Use Code #820, Shopping Centers. the following generation formula was obtained: Ln(T) = 0.65(x) + 5.92 Where: T = Traffic Generation (trips per day) X = Total Floor Area in thousand square feet The average daily trip generation calculated for this project and based upon the above formula is presented below: -3- "lllA14..1 "O.OG","PHtCS "1940 Ji O^19 w lS3~:)V3S > c < > ..J III ~ '- ....- '" -.......; -......

It should be noted that Article IV, Section 2 B(7) of Ordinance #87-18 recognizes that not all traffic generated by certain land uses is additional traffic on the adjacent roadway network. The Ordinance does allow for the consideration of pass-by or captured traffic. Retail is one of the land uses for which pass-by traffic can be considered. According to Palm Beach County's recently adopted Road Impact Fee Ordinance, the pass-by rate for retail uses is established by the formula: Pass-by % = 45.1 - 0.0225 (A) Whe~e A = Floor Area in thousand square feet The pass-by percentage for this 120.000 square foot center Is calculated to be 42.4%.

It is concluded that this project is classified as a "Sig- nificant Project" according to Crdinance #87-18. The Traffic Performance Sta~dards Ordinance requires that for any roadway link upon which the project creates a significant impact, the total traffic on that roadway link be analyzed dur ing the buildout per iod for the project. According to the petitioner's representative, this project could be built and occupied during 1993. Thus, a buildout year of 1993 has been established and this analysis will use 1993 as a basis for its calculations. -6- The total traffic is defined as the sum of the existing average, annual daily traffic, the project traffic plus the background traffic. The background traffic is further defined as the sum of the historical growth plus traffic generated by major projec't's which are in excess of 10% of the capacity of the af- fected roadway link. The total traffic volumes are shown in F.1.(jure 4. The 1993 projected traffic has teen determined by taking the sum of the existing 1989 MDT, plus the projected hi'storical growth, plus the traffic generated for major projects which are in excess of 10% of the roadway's link capacity. The historical growth calculations are shown in APPENDIX C. The major project traffic volume calculations are shown in APPENDIX D. The back- ground traffic calculations are shown in APPENDIX E. The total traffic volumes for the buildout year of 1993 are shown with the roadway capacities in Figure 4. Reviewing the total volumes and the roadway capacities in Figure 4, it is seen that the total traffic exceeds capacity on the following roadway links upon which this project creates a significant impact: TABLE 2 ROADWAYS EXCEEDING CAPACITY ROA12 LINK.

BaEed upon the 1993 total projected volumes shown in Figure 4, the link at Boynton Beach Boulevard between Military Trail and El Clair Ranch Road will have volumes in excess of it's improved four lane capacity of 30,000 trips per day with or without this project. There is no commitment to widen this link to six lanes. However, it should be noted that a significant amount of this project's traffic assigned to Boynton Beach Boulevard west of l1ilitary Trail can be considered to already exist on Boynton Beach Boul evard. For the most part, these trips can be consid- ered to be diverted trips. The only shopping opportunities for the residents in the Boynton Beach Boulevard corridor west of Military Trail are located either along Military Trail or east of Military Trail. Thus, it can be seen that any shopping opportu- nity generating from this corridor west of Military Trail will already be on that section of Boynton Beach Boulevard. Thus, the actual impact of this project on this section of Boynton Beach Boulevard is considered to be less than the volumes presented in Figures 3 and 4. The link of Boynton Beach Boulevard from 1-95 to Old Boynton Road is expected to have volumes in excess of capacity in 1993 with or without this project. There is no commitment for widen- ing this section of road. -8- 'pEAFHQL1R The second test that a "Significant Project" must meet is the Intersection Test. This test requires that all major inter- sectic~ns \oJithin the radius of development influence be analyzed through which the project generates 10% or more of the total traffic on ~ny link of the intersection. Reviewing the volumes in Figure 4, it is seen that this project does not generate more than 10% of the total traffic on any of the roadway links in the project study area. Therefore, this petition meets the Intersection Test. In addition, the Ordinance requires that peak hour turning movements shall be analyzed where the project's traffic meets the directly accessed links. The peak hour volumes generated by this project were calculated in order to determine what site related improvements, if any, will be required. The peak hour generation rates for each residential use were also calculated based upon information obtained from "Trip Gener- ation". For the purposes of this report, only the P.M. volumes wil) be analyzed. I"Arm-.!J~~ 120,000 SQ. FT.

This project is classified as being a "Significant Project" as defined by the existing County Traffic Perfc.rmance Standards Ordinance. Several roadway links have been identified as having total volumes in excess of capacity. With the exception of the link of Ecynton Bea(:h Boulevard between Old Boynton Road and 1- 95, all of these rOddway links have roadway widenings scheduled. -10- APPENDIX APPENDIX A THRESHOLD VOLUMES LEVEL OF SERVICE "0" (AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC) ROADWAY TPIl Two Lane 13,100 Four Lane Undivided 27,800 Four Lane Divided 30,000 Five Lane Undivided 30,000 Six Lane Divided 46,400 Eight Lane Divided 60,000 Six Lane Freeway 95,000 APPENDIX "B" THRESHOLD VOLUMES FOR SIGNIFICANT IMPACT THOROUGHFARE TYPE MINIMUM VOLUME {TRIPS PER DAY} Two lane 131 Four lane (Divided) 300 Five lane (Undivided) 300 Six lane {Divided} 464 Eight lane (Divided) 600 Six lane (Expressway) 950 APPENDIX C HISTORICAL GROWTH CALCULATIONS BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD PCD RQ .n~JU 1.1 W'i HISTORICAL GROWTH RATE EXISTING 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 Af'.DI MDT AAj)]: MDT bADT B()YNTON BEACH BLVD: 1-95 - Old Boynt.

Natural Resources (Note: Analysis references Tara Oaks PUD only.) RESPONSE: Attached Exhibit A represents an expansion of the original Tree Inventory submitted with the applicant's original application. This inventory indicates a distinct difference between the North and South part of the site. In tact, the North part of the property had previously been cleared and used for many years to graze cattle (an existing dairy barn remains on the site). The primary scrub habitat is located on the South portion of the property and, in fact, was incorporated in a preservation requirement by the City Council in approving the Land Use Amendment. The environmental assessments referenced in Recreation and Park Hemoranda '90-278 and '90-321 are not required until prior to Site Plan Review. Exhibit B contains the exact Environmental Regulation language which was recently adopted in consistency with the requirements of the adopted Comprehensive Plan (S~ction 7.5-59). The reference to scrub oaks contained in Planning Department Memorandum No. 90-177 and noted in the ORC report reads as follows: "On-site vegetation consists primarily of exotics and clusters of oaks and scrub oaks scattered throughout the south half of the site. Based on available information, there should be no impediments to the development of the site owing to environmental constraints. However, care should be taken to preserve the oaks and scrub oaks as noted in the correspondence in the Forester/Horticulturist's memorandum in Exhibit "E"." It is the applicant's contention that the Tree Inyentory (now further expanded), the Topography, Soils and Vegetation report in Memorandum 190-177 and the referenced Parks and Recreation Memoranda, provide the analysis of natural resources required under Rule 9J-5.006 (2) (b)4. Howeyer, additional history of the site is of use here for the benefit of DCA staff. There is an existing approval of a zero lot line deyelopment for the property under its current Low Density Residential designation. Exhibit C, attached herein, illustrates that the approved plan for seventy-eight lots incorporates IOOS of the property in either indiYiduallyowned lots or streets. The proposed Plan (Exhibit D) and amendment language clusters all of the units on the North half (enYironmentally insignificant property) and restricts the use of the South half to preservation or less intensive land uses. The net effect of the proposed densities is the preservation of environmentally significant land as the new units represent clustered multifamily development utilizing much less of the property than the approved single family development. Therefore, Exhibit D demonstrates the alternative suggestion of the DCA staff to "increase the amount of open space on the site to protect natural resources." Finally, the proposed amendment contains specific language and conditions which will become part of the Plan. Condition (3) of the new language reads: "(3) The portion of this area which lies to the south of S.W. Congress Bouleyard extended shall be limited to recreation facilities, open space, and water management tracts to serve the project as well as places of worship. Also, since this area contains habitat for gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus), which are protected by State law, any gopher tortoises which are found in Area 6.k. shall be relocated to this open space, to the maximum extent permissible by State laws and regulations." Finally, an environmental assessment will be required prior to any site plan approval as previously noted. 2 2. 9J-5.006 (2) (c) (2) Land Use Analysis Requirements (c) An analysis of the amount of land needed to accommodate the projected population (Note: Analysis addresses all three (3) projects.) RESPONSE: The proposed amendments represent one change from Lower Density Residential to Higher Density Residential, one change from High Density Residential to Commercial, and one change from Commercial, in part, and Medium Density, in part, entirely to Commercial. The cumulative effect of these changes are as follows: Residential: The residential potential of the three sites including the existing approval of 78 units on the Tara Oaks property, the existing plan of 77 units on the south part of the Knuth Road site, and the existing plan of 159 units for the Boynton Beach Boulevard Site total 314 units. The cumulative effect of the amendments is the reduction of 122 units with 192 units being now located at Tara Oaks PUD. The proposed unit reduction IS consistent with the analysis of the adopted Plan which states that there will be a surplus of 539 units at buildout. (Future Land Use Element Support Documents / Volume 1 at Pages 29 and 30) Commercial: Knuth Road PCD is an annexation of property from the County into the City. The current County Land Use plan for this property is Commercial. The County's adopted Comprehensive Plan designates the north 450 feet High Intensive Commercial and the remainder of the site as Commercial Recreation. There is an existing approval for a commercial recreation use of the entire property. The proposed Land Use in the City is consistent with the adopted land use in the County. The Boynton Beach future Land Use Map showed the site, which is a single parcel of property, with two land use designations, Local Retail Commercial and Medium Density Residential. The Discussion of Supply and Demand for Commercial Land in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element Support Documents (Volume No. I, Page 40) specifically allows additional commercial designations "for minor Boundary adjustments" or "small infill parcels." The proposed change of the Medium Density Residential portion of the site to Local Retail Commercial allows the entire site to be developed in 3 a unified land use and plan. Therefore, the proposed Local Retail Commercial designation within the City of Boynton Beach is consistent. The location of the site at the periphery of the City indicates that County residents as well as City residents can use the site. The Economic Element of the County Plan indicates that there is a general shortfall of commercially designated land in the unincorporated area both now and in the future and that additional sites must be designated. This finding is based upon a study of the County's consultants. CH2M Hill, and has been accepted by DCA in reviewing the County Plan. Attached herein, as Exhibit E, are Commercial Needs Charts from the Economic Element of the County Plan. Knuth Road PCD is located in Sub-Area 5B. Based upon these facts, Knuth Road PCD is consistent with both Plans. Boynton Beach PCD represents the deletion of approximately thirteen acres of High Density Residential designated land from the Plan and the addition of approximately thirteen acres to the City's inventory of Commercial Property. At the time of the applicant's submittal a Market Analysis was submitted indicating the need for both of the Planned Commercial Developments. These analyses are attached herein as Exhibits F and G. Additionally, the applicant's consultant has written an addendum to address the issues raised in the DCA report and it is attached as Exhibit H. This addendum again reflects the fact that the market crosses the boundary between the City and the unincorporated area. The County's Subarea 5B indicates an existing shortfall of 80 acres while the City Plan's support documents list a surplus of 30 acres. utilizing both Plans, because of the location of this project at the City's edge, a fifty acre deficit exists which can easily absorb this 13 acre site. 3. 9J-5.006 (3) 9J-5.007 (3) (b)1., (b)2. (3) (c)3.. and (4): and (3) Requirements for Future Land Use Goals, Objectives and Policies (b) The element shall contain one or more specific objectives for each goal statement which address the requirements of Paragraph 163.3177 (6) (a), Florida Statutes, and which: 1. coordinate future land uses with the appropriate topography, soil conditions, 4 and the availability of facilities and services; (c) The element shall contain one or more policies for each objective which address programs, activities or regulations for the: 3. provision that facilities and services meet the locally established minimum level of service standards, and are available when needed for development, or that development orders and permits are specifically conditioned on the availability of the facilities and services necessary to serve the proposed development; and that facilities that provide utility service to the various land uses are authorized at the same time as the land uses are authorized; (4) Future Land Use Map. 9J -5. 007 (3) (b) 2. (Note: Analysis of Knuth Road PCD and Boynton Beach PCD on 1 y. ) RESPONSE: Applicant believes that Knuth Road PCD and Boynton Beach PCD are consistent with Objectives 1.3 and 2.1 and Policies 1.3.3 and 2.1.3 of the Comprehensive Plan. The DCA Objection does not specify on which roads the amendments will exceed the traffic levels of service. Therefore, we are unable to respond at this time. However, Mr. K.S. Rogers, Traffic Consultant for the applicant, will contact the DCA staffperson to try to clarify this issue. In the interim Mr. Rogers lists the following road improvements which have been confirmed since the writing of the original traffic analysis: 1. WideninK of Military Trail from 2 to 6 lanes north of Boynton Beach Boulevard. 2. Widening of Congress Avenue from 4 to 6 lanes from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Miner Road 3. Extension of Woolbright Road as a 4 lane facility from Congress Avenue to Military Trail 4. Announcement of construction of the interchange at N.W. 22nd Avenue and 1-95. Specifically, Items 3. and 4. will drastically effect Boynton Beach Boulevard's capacity as these two roads will provide two new east-west arterials with 1-95 access. Based upon all of these improvements, all of the roads should meet the Levels of Service listed in Objective 2.1. 5 4. 9J-5.006 (3) (b)4., (3) (c)6., and (4): (3) Requirements for Future Land Use Goals, Objectives and Policies. (b) The element shall contain one or more specific objectives for each goal statement which address the requirements of Paragraph 163.3177 (6) (a), Florida Statutes, and which: 4. ensure the protection of natural resources and historic resources; (c) The element shall contain one or more policies for each objective which address programs, activities or regulations for the: 6. protection of potable water wellfields, and environmentally sensitive land; (4) Future Land Use Map. (Note: Analysis concerns Tara Oaks PUD only) RESPONSE: policy 1.11.2 - Required the City to modify the land development regulations to require the preservation of native habitat....etc. This Policy has been met through the recent adoption of the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance, which has been included as Exhibit B. The information contained in the response to Objection 1 is applicable here as well. The proposed land use in the configuration approved and stipulated provides pro- tection that the previous land use and approved plan did not. The analysis requested is already required in the new ordinance prior to site plan review. 4. 9J-5.006 (3) (b)4., (3) (c)6., and (4): (3) Requirements for Future Land Use Goals, Objectives and Policies. (c) The element shall contain one or more policies for each objective which address programs. activities or regulations for the: 7. establishment of standards for densities or intensities of use for each future land use category (4) Future Land Use Map. (Note: Analysis concerns all three projects.) RESPONSE: Applicant believes that the listed objectives and policies have been met when examined individually: Objective 1.17: - Applicant believes he has "minimized nuisances, hazards, and other adverse impacts to the general publlA, tQ PfAp~ftJ Y~I"~~, ~nd tR r~~id~nti~. 6 environments by preventing or minimizing land use conflicts". Specifically, Tara Oaks PUD removed approved housing from behind a single family development and clustered multifamily housing next to existing multifamily housing (See aerial as Exhibit (). Additionally, Tara Oaks removed building activity from an area identified as environmentally significant where zero lot line homes had a valid existing approval. In the case of Knuth Road PCD, the applicant merely requests to extend the existing approved land use of Local Retail Commercial to the remainder of the site to prevent the conflict of a small residential pocket surrounded by Commercial. In the case of Boynton Beach PCD, the applicant removed high density residential property which was located at the main entrance to a regional mall adjacent to existing zoned Industrial property. At the same time, the applicant met frequently with adjacent property owners to assure that appropriate buffering was placed between each of these three projects and adjacent land uses. Access has been designed and routed to avoid any impact on adjacent properties and the adjacent property owners' association supported the requested amendments. In effect, the applicant has removed existing conflicts by virtue of these changes. Objective 1.19 - Applicant believes that these amendments further the objective by providing appropriate land uses in appropriate locations while preserving environmentally significant areas. Policy 1.16.4 - Applicant has requested appropriate amendments to the recommendations contained in Land Use Problems and Opportunities to permit the proposed projects. Poli~ 1.17.1 - Policy reads "Discourage additional commercial...uses...except where access is greatest and impacts on residential land uses are least." Knuth Road PCD and Boynton Beach PCD meet this criteria exactly. Both projects front on Boynton Beach Boulevard, a major arterial. Directly in front of Boynton Beach PCD there is already a signalized intersection which serves as an entrance to the Boynton Beach Mall and which can provide access to this site as well as correct an existing access problem to the adjacent Post Office to which the applicant has agreed. Knuth Road PCD fronts Boynton Beach Boulevard as well as Knuth Road, a north-south collector which the applicant has agreed to fund its future construction. Adjacent land uses include commerCial, Industrial, a post office and a golf course. The one area where one of the projects 7 abuts residential property is separated by a street and the applicant has agreed to extensive buffering in meetinRs with the property owners' association. PoliQy 1.17.3 - See response to Policy 1.16.4 Policy 1.17.8 - Proposed amendment to Tara Oaks preserves the integrity of the adjacent single family neighborhood by removing adjacent units and clustering units on north part of site adjacent to similar multifamily units and at the same time preserving a significant habitat adjacent to the single family area. Policy 1.19.5 - See Response to Objection 2 along with Exhibits E, F, G, and H. Policy 1.19.6 - See Response to Objection 2 along with Exhibits E, F, G, and H. Analysis requested is located in Response and Exhibits to Objection 2. CONSERVATION ELEMENT 1. 9J -5.013 (1) (b) (1) Conservation Data and Analysis Requirements (b) For each of the above natural resources, the element shall identify existing commercial, recreational or conservation uses, known pollution problems and the potential for conservation, use or protection. (Note: Analysis concerns Tara Oaks only.) RESPONSE: See previous response to Future Land Use Objection 1. Additionally the City in conformance to the Comprehensive Plan has identified and classified environmentally sensitive lands within its borders and this site is not included due to its past use as a dairy farm and the existing approval for single famlly development on 100~ of the site as previously documented. The Plan amendment provides protection of environmental lands through the adoption of language stating: "(3) The portion of this area which lies to the south of S.W. Congress Boulevard extended shall be limited to recreation facilities, open space, and water management tracts to serve the project as well as places of 8 worship. Also. since this area contains habitat for gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus). which are protected by State law. any gopher tortoises which are found in Area 8.k. shall be relocated to this open space, to the maximum extent permissible by State laws and regulations." Finally, an environmental assessment will be required prior to any site plan approval as previously noted. 2. 9J-S.013 (2) (b)4, and (2) (c)S. (2) Requirements for Conservation Goals. Objectives and Policies (b) The element shall contain one or more specific objectives for each goal statement which address the requirements of Paragraph 163.3177(6)(d). Florida Statutes, and which: 4. conserve, appropriately use and protect fisheries, wildlife, wildlife habitat and marine habitat (c) The element shall contain one or more policies for each objective which address programs, activities, or regulations for the: S. restriction of activities known to adversely affect the survival of endangered and threatened wildlife. (Note: Analysis concerns Tara Oaks only.) RESPONSE: The City has met Objective 4.5 through the adoption of its existing environmentally sensitive land regulations and identifying significant lands contained in referenced Figure 4. Policy 4.5.1 does not apply to this site as it is not identified in Figure 4. However. the language referenced in the previous response protects significant habitat as already indicated. STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY 1. 9J-S.021 (1) (1) Each local government comprehensive plan shall be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan as it appears in Chapter 85-57, Laws of Florida. Elements required pursuant to Sections 163.3177 and 163.3178. Florida Statutes, shall be consistent with the state plan goals and policies listed in subsection (2) of this section. Optional elements shall be consistent 9 with any relevant state plans goals and policies. For the purpose of state and local plan consistency~ a local plan shall be consistent with the state plan goal or policy if the local plan is compatible with and furthers the state plan goal or policy. RESPONSE: Goal 10 - (Refers to Tara Oaks only.) As prevlously~ indicated the City of Boynton Beach has met all the requirements of its plan in establishing appropriate ordinances to protect Environmentally Sensitive Land. The assumption throughout the DCA comments is that the land use change from Low Density to High Density will result in degradation to the environment. However~ as repeatedly demonstrated, the High Density plan preserves a significant area of sensitive land which was previously lost in the Single Family concept which was consistent with the existing Plan and approved for this site. Continued monitoring of the property will take place prior to any site plan approval. Goal 16 -Goal 16 and the cumulative aspect of the proposed amendments are addressed in the response to Land Use Element Objection 2. Goal_ 20 - This goal is addressed as Response to Land Use Element Objection 3. REGIONAL POLICY PLAN CONSISTENCY 1. 9J-5.021 (1) (1) Each local government comprehensive plan shall be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan as it appears in Chapter 85-57, Laws of Florida. Elements required pursuant to Sections 163.3177 and 163.3178~ Florida Statutes, shall be consistent with the state plan goals and policies listed in subsection (2) of this section. Optional elements shall be consistent with any relevant state plans goals and policies. For the purpose of state and local plan consistency~ a local plan shall be consistent with the state plan goal or policy if the local plan is compatible with and furthers the state plan goal or policy.

The data and analyses upon included in this report. and conclusions associated for convenient review: which our conclusions are based are A brief summary of the salient points with this project is presented below r-'- I l_ Palm Beach County is a rapidly growing and increasingly significant economic factor in the growth of Southeast Florida. The County contains approximately 892,500 people, representing an 55 percent increase in population since 1980. In addition, the population is expected to reach over 1,000,000 by 1995. r - I Consistent employment gains in the past decade in such sectors as manufacturing, finance, trade and government confirm the growing diversity of the area's economy, hence, lessening dependence on tourism as the County's primary economic base. Per capita income in 1990 for the trade area is $14,108 - an 85% increase since 1980, translating into increased buying power for retail goods and services. r- ! Based on a 1990 population in the trade area of 79,~92 and supportable square feet per capita figures derived from data available from the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Florida and The Urban Land Institute CULl), approximately 3.93 million square feet of retail space can be supported. [ Existing and approved/in process/under construction retail space in the trade area totals approximately 3.14 million square feet. r-- 1- [- ~ ~ [ f- . \ I, - Adding the 120,000 square feet of retail space proposed for Boynton Beach Boulevard P.C.D. (as well as the 120,000 square feet proposed for the Knuth Road P.C.D.) to the total of 3.14 million square feet cited on the preceding page, yields a figure of 3.38 million square feet, which indicates that even in base year 1990, an additional 555,168 square feet~ of retail space can be supported in the trade area. With projected increases in population and the additional attendant buying power in the trade area, approximately 4.58 million square feet of retail space, comprised of the general categories surveyed, can be supported by 1995. r- I !

INTRODUCTION This report presents findings and conclusions relating to the market demand for a commercial retail development in the amount of approximately 120,000 square feet on 14.76 acres~. The total site development concept includes a large anchor store of approximately 49,000 square feet and ancillary retail in the amount of 61,375 square feet. In addition, 9,625 square feet is proposed on two (2) outparcels intended to accommodate one (1) restaurant, and one (1) financial institution. r' This well-anchored center will be in a strong market position to attract other miscellaneous convenience as well as shoppers goods/comparison stores as co-tenants. It is well documented that generally speaking, anchored centers fare much better than unanchored strip and specialty centers. Neighborhood centers such as the subject center generally exhibit the highest occupancies, with this trade area being no exception. I i \ The subject site is located on the south side of Boynton Beach Boulevard, between Congress Avenue and Knuth Road. (See Exhibit 1). The factors affecting the existing and future market which would support a neighborhood retail development at this location are examined in this study.

The predominant and developing land use pattern in the immediate area is commercial, with the Boynton Beach Boulevard/Congress Avenue commercial intersection (including commercial development to the direct north on Congress Avenue, proximate to the Boynton Super Regional Mall), dominating the land use pattern along those major arterials in the area. [- L. o Major roadways which provide access to the site are Boynton Beach Boulevard, Congress Avenue, and Military Trail. Population and demographic information pertinent to the general trade area which generally conforms to the suburban as well as Boynton Beach proper area (See Exhibit 3). r r- I The population in the area for 1990 is estimated at 79,692.* In addition, based on 1990 figures, average household size is 2.17 persons and the median age is 55.1. 1990 per capita income of $14,108, although slightly less than the County median, is generally comparable to the County, while the median age figure indicates an older population in the area than found countywide (55.1 in the trade area versus 42.3 in the County). Although the population projections' utilized in our analysis are those of a well known national firm, this firm is unfamiliar with the dynamics of sub-area/local situations. Statistically, the estimates for area polygons of the County which are developing at a rapid pace, are less than estimates for the same area by local government (i.e., Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning Organization). Hence, our demand estimates are conservative. i- I *Based on Urban Decision Systems, Inc. projections. f- r- I I I- i I 5 [ r- ~ !' rup I l RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS i- i Retail Trade Area The subject center will be designed to capture a share of existing as well as new purchasing power in a growing area of the County. The trade area's population has increased by approximately 50% since 1980 and is expected to increase by some 16% by 1995 (projections by Urban Decision Systems). The center proposed will have characteristics of a neighborhood center, providing for the sale of convenience goods (foods, drugs, and sundries) and personal services (laundry and dry cleaning barbering shoe repairing, etc.) for the day-to-day living needs of the immediate neighborhood. However, it is conceivable that the subject center will provide a wider range of facilities for the sale of soft lines (wearing apparel) and soft lines (hardware and appliances), hence, potentially exhibiting characteristics most often associated with a community center. Exhibit 2 depicts the trade area boundaries for the proposed retail space. As indicated earl ier, the boundaries generally conform to the suburban as well as Boynton Beach proper area. For a neighborhood type center, the ULI recommends a trade area determined by a one (1) to three (3) mile radius from the subject site. This is appropriate, in terms of a generalization, however, when determining actual markets, factors such as physical barriers to access and existing competitive uses must be taken into account. With this factored in, the trade area is defined for the subject site. All existing shopping center retail process retail space was included in area.* The boundaries are as follows: as well as approved/in the survey of the trade r I I !

Based upon these figures, it is estimated that the population, hence purchasing power will experience steady growth in the next five years. The estimated purchasing power of the resident population of the trade area was used as the basis for determining supportable retail space. However, it is important to note that a substantial number of "daytime" persons in the area and their attendant buying power were not factored into our analysis. All those persons brought into the trade area each day as employees of other commercial retail and office developments in the area represent a substantial secondary purchasing power base. r--' l r-- r-- I 1-- 1 i- f [ L 8 r r- EXHIBIT 3 Summary of Demographic Characteristics r- l " Owner occupied (%) Renter occupied (%) 1980 Trade Area Palm Beach Co. 53,102 576,863 18.4 21 .3 7 . 2 9.8 18. 1 23.6 7.6 9.3 14 . 7 12.6 34.0 23.3 53.3 40.2 76.5 75.3 23.4 24.7 2 . 3 1 2.42 68.5 58. 1 10.7 -21 . 2 $ 7,646 $9,017 Characteristic Total Persons r- j Age Distribution 0-17 18-24 25-44 45-54 55-64 65+ r--, r- t Median Age I l Households % Two or more persons % Single person Persons/Household t r- l r Per Capita Income Source: Urban Decision Systems, Inc.

However, the above figure does not reflect any of the approved/in process nor non-retail space (financial institutions and office users that also occupy space in these facilities) in the trade area. Approved/in process retail center developments within the trade area are also examined since, upon completion, each will also be competing with the subject site for certain retail customers. (See Exhibits 6 & 7 for these centers). An additional 1,253,400 square feet of commercial/retail uses have been approved but not yet built/completed within the trade area. In addition, there are 152,100 square feet of non~retail space within existing centers in the trade area. r-- ! To account for this space, the total approved/in process space, as well as the non-retail space referenced above, should be added to the total retail space in existing shopping centers. Combining inventoried existing competitive space total (including vacant space) of 1,732,930 square feet (as well as the 152,100 square feet of non-retail space in existing centers) to the approved/in process space total of 1,253,400 square feet, yields a total existing and committed commercial/retail space figure of 3,138,430 square feet. By adding the retail space proposed for development at the subject site (i.e., 120,000 square feet as well as the 120,000 square feet proposed for the Knuth Road P.C.D.), the total of existing, approved/in process and that proposed for the subject site is 3,378,430 square feet. This total is below the 1990 estimated demand of 3,933,598 square feet and indicates that an additional 555,168 square feet can be supported in the trade area in 1990 (over and above that proposed for Boynton Beach Boulevard P.C.D.). In addition, with projected population increases to 92,801 persons by 1995, an estimated 4,580,758 square feet could be supported in the trade area. l , 20 ~ i- Examining the individual categories of retail presented in Exhibit 9 indicates that in no category does supply exceed demand. It is important to note that the supply side total does not include the Boynton Beach Mall. It was not included because this super regional center serves an area which extends into southern Delray Beach on the south and West Palm Beach on the north. In addition, the anchors and on-line merchants of a super regional center do not directly compete with nearby tenants that are located in neighborhood, community and unanchored centers. Super regional centers attract destination oriented trips to the major anchors with spin-offs for the "national chain" shops. The super regional centers come closest (currently) to reproducing shopping facilities and customer attraction once available in Central Business Districts (CBD's). r', In addition, those competing shopping centers located near the periphery of the trade area were not discounted (in terms of the ratio of population within the Boynton Beach Boulevard P.C.D. trade area to the population within the trade area of those competing shopping centers located a good distance away from the subject site). The further away a competing shopping center faCility is, the less direct competition it represents to the subject site. r-' l In summary and conclusion, the subject 120,000 square foot neighborhood center proposed on Boynton Beach Boulevard, between Knuth Road and Congress Avenue, is in a favorable market position in terms of location, visibility, access and timing (particularly with projected population increases in the trade area in the near future) .

The County contains approximately 892,500 people, representing an 55 percent increase in population since 1980. In addition, the population is expected to reach over 1,doo,000 'by 1995. Consistent employment gains in the past decade in such sectors as manufacturing, finance, trade and government confirm the growing diversity of the area's economy, hence, lessening dependence on tourism as the County's primary economic base. Per capita income in 1990 for the trade area is $14,108 - an 85% increase since 1980, translating into increased buying power for retail goods and services. Based on a 1990 population in the trade area of 79,692 and supportable square feet per capita figures derived from data available from the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Florida and The Urban Land Institute CULl), approximately 3.93 million square feet of retail space can be supported. Existing and approved/in process/under construction retail space in the trade area totals approximately 3.14 million square feet. ~ ~ 1 [ \ [- ~. r- r- i , I I I _ Adding the 120,000 square feet of retail space proposed for Knuth Road P.C.D. (as well as the 120,000 square feet proposed for the Boynton Beach Boulevard P.C.D.) to the total of 3.14 million square feet cited on the preceding page, yields a figure of 3.38 million square feet, which indicates that even in base year 1990, an additional 555,168 square feet~ of retail space can be supported in the trade area. With projected increases in population and the additional attendant buying power in the trade area, approximately 4.58 million square feet of retail space, comprised of the general categories surveyed, can be supported by 1995. r- I r-- l f ~ r- t [~ ~ i I l [ l r-' r 2 \ r-: l., ~ l f~ ! INTRODUCTION r-'- This report presents findings and conclusions relating to the market demand for a commercial retail development in the amount of approximately 120,000 square feet on 13.87 acres~. The total site development concept includes an anchor store of approximately 34,000 square feet and ancillary retail in the amount of 74,532 square feet. In addition, 11,468 square feet is proposed on two (2) outparcels intended to accommodate one (1) restaurant, and one (1) financial institution. r-- I I This well-anchored center will be in a strong market position to attract other miscellaneous convenience as well as shoppers goods/comparison stores as co-tenants. It is well documented that generally speaking, anchored centers fare much better than unanchored strip and specialty centers. Neighborhood/community centers such as the subject center generally exhibit the highest occupancies, with this trade area being no exception. r- ~ , I. 1- The subject site is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Knuth Road. (See Exhibit 1). The factors affecting the existing and future market which would support a neighborhood/community retail development at this location are examined in this study. r- 1- [-- [~ l [ r- i -. 3 l- r-- f" Exhibit 1 Site Location ~ COUNTY [ r -------------'1 .

The predominant and developing land use pattern in the immediate area is commercial, with the Boynton Beach Boulevard/Congress Avenue commercial intersection (including commercial development to the direct north on Congress Avenue, proximate to the Boynton Super Regional Mall), dominating the land use pattern along those major arterials in the area. Major roadways which provide access to the site are Boynton Beach Boulevard, Congress Avenue, and Military Trail. Population and demographic information pertinent to the general trade area which generally conforms to the suburban as well as Boynton Beach proper area (See Exhibit 3). r- I The population in the area for 1990 is estimated at 79,692.* In addition, based on 1990 figures, average household size is 2.17 persons and the median age is 55.1. 1990 per capita income of $14,108, although slightly less than the County median, is generally comparable to the County, while the median age figure indicates an older population in the area than found countywide (55.1 in the trade area versus 42.3 in the County). r-- r- A 1 tho ugh the pop u 1 a t ion pro j e c t ion s u t il i zed i n 0 u I~ a n a 1 y.s i s are those of a well known national firm, this firm is unfamiliar with the dynamics of sub-area/local situations. Statistically, the estimates for area polygons of the County which are developing at a rapid pace, are less than estimates for the same area by local government (i.e., Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning Organization). Hence, our demand estimates are conservative. [- *Based on Urban Decision Systems, Inc. projections. r- - I 5 [~ r ! RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS ----------------------- Retail Trade Area The subject center will be designed to capture a share of existing as well as new purchasing power in a growing area of the County. The trade area's population has increased by approximately 50% since 1980 and is expected to increase by some 16% by 1995 (projections by Urban Decision Systems). r' I The center proposed will have characteristics of a neighborhood center, providing for the sale of convenience goods (foods, drugs, and sundries) and personal services (laundry and dry cleaning barberini sho~ repairing, etc.) f~r the day-to-day living needs of the immediate neighborhood. However, it is conceivable that the subject center will provide a wider range of facilities for the sale of soft lines (wearing apparel) and soft lines (hardware and appliances), hence, potentially exhibiting characteristics most often associated with a community center. Exhibit 2 depicts the trade area boundaries for the proposed retail space. As indicated earlier, the boundaries generally conform to the suburban as well as Boynton Beach proper area. For a neighborhood type center, the ULI recommends a trade area determined by a one (1) to three (3) mile radius from the'subject site. This is appropriate, in terms of a generalization, however, when determining actual markets, factors such as physical barriers to access and existing competitive uses must be 'taken into account. With this factored in, the trade area is defined for the subject site. f-- , , - ; f All existing shopping center retail process retail space was included in area.* The boundaries are as follows: as well as approved/in the survey of the trade [ r North: South: East : Vvest: Hypoluxo Road One (1) mile south of Golf Road~ U.S. 1 El Clair Ranch Road Centers included in 4,5,6,& 7. the retail space survey are found in Exhibits [ r *Field--~t7;Yey by Thompson Consulting, Inc., 1990; Palm Beach County Department files; Boynton Beach Planning Department. l. 5 r \~ f r, t: r~ I i' I I r- I [ I, r - I \ r -r f- Exhibit 2 Trade Area MARTIN COUNTY ---------'---'1 I I I I . .. .

Based upon these figures, it that the population, hence purchasing power will steady growth in the next five years. r- I I The estimated purchasing power of the resident population of the trade area was used as the basis for determining supportable retail space_ However, it is important to note that a substantial number of "daytime" persons in the area and their attendant buying power were not factored into our analysis. All those persons brought into the trade area each day as employees of other commercial retail and office developments in the area represent a substantial secondary purchasing power base. i- t r ~ l f ~ r ~ r' ~ ~ 8 [ r- EXHIBIT 3 Summary of Demographic Characteristics Owner occupied (%) Renter occupied (%) 1980 Trade Area Palm Beach Co. 53,102 576,863 18.4 21 .3 7.2 9.8 18. 1 23.6 7.6 9.3 14 - 7 12. 6 34.0 23.3 53.3 40.2 76.5 75.3 23.4 24.7 2.31 2.42 68.5 58. 1 10. 7 21 .2 $ 7,646 $9,017 r-: L Characteristic Total Persons ,- Age Distribution 0-17 18:-24 25-44 45-54 55-64 65+ I' L ~ , Median Age r~ !

Approved/in process retail center developments within the trade area are also examined since, upon completion, each will also be competing with the subject site for certain retail customers. (See Exhibits 6 & 7 for these centers). An additional 1,253,400 square feet of commercial/retail uses have been approved but not yet built/completed within the trade area. In addition, there are 152,10,0 square feet of non-ret9il space within existing centers in the trade area. r-.' I I i r- l To account for this space, the total approved/in process space, as well as tne non-retail space referenced above, should be added to the total retail space in existing shopping centers. Combining inventoried existing competitive space total (including vacant space) of 1,732,930 square feet Cas well as the 152,100 square feet of non-retail space in existing centers) to the approved/in process space total of 1,253,400 square feet, yields a total existing and committed commer~ial/retail space figure of 3,138,430 square feet. By adding the retail space proposed for development at the subject site (i.e., 120,000 square feet as well as the 120,000 square feet proposed for the Boynton Beach Boulevard P.C.D.), the total of existing, approved/in process and that proposed for the subject site is 3,378,430 square feet. This total is below the 1990 estimated demand of 3,933,598 square feet and indicates that an additional 555,168 square feet can be supported in the trade area in 1990 (over and above that proposed for Knuth Road P.C.D.). ... I 1 I \ [ ~. r' In addition, with projected population increases to 92,801 persons by 1995, an estimated 4,580,758 square feet could be supported in the trade area. I: L: 20 r r- I I I c Examining the individual categories of retail presented in Exhibit 9 indicates that in no category does supply exceed demand. It is important to note that the supply side total does not include the Boynton Beach Mall. It was not included because this super regional center serves an area which extends into southern Delray Beach on the south and West Palm Beach on the north. In addition, the anchors and on-line merchants of a super regional center do not directly compete with nearby tenants that are located in neighborhood, community and unanchored centers. Super regional centers attract destination oriented trips to the major anchors with spin-offs for the "national chain" shops. The super regional centers come closest (currently) to reproducing shopping facilities and customer attraction once available in Central Business Districts CCBD's). r-~ i , In addition, those competing shopping centers located near the periphery of the trade area were not discounted (in terms of the ratio of population within the Knuth Road P.C.D. trade area to the population wi~hin the trade area of those competing shopping centers located a good distance away from the subject site). The further away a competing shopping center facility is, the less direct competition it represents to the subject site. r~.- I l In summary and conclusion, the subject 120,000 square foot neighborhood center proposed at the intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard and I-<nuth Road, is in a favorable market position in terms of location, visibility, access and timing (particularlr with projected population increases in the trade area in the near future). r ~ r- I [ l.~ 21 l l GENERAL LIMITING CONDITIONS r I Every reasonable effort has been made to insure that this report contains the most accurate and timely information possible, which is believed to be reliable.

Within the trade area (refined from the 1-3 mile radius normally associated with a neighborhood/community sized shopping center, factoring in physical barriers to access such as roads/canals, as well as shopping patterns and the location of existing competitive/comparable uses), all existing competitive/comparable space as well as approved/in process space and zoned property was accounted for in the supply side of the market analyses. Within the same trade area, demand was derived based on estimated retail space per capita figures and the estimated population in the trade area. The retail space per capita figures were developed using retail sales data compiled for Palm Beach County by the State of Florida (by retail use classifications) supplemented with comparable data from Sales and Marketing Management's Survey of Buying Power, and sales per square foot for the same retail use classifications from the Urban Land Institute. A comparison of estimated demand versus supply within the trade area (geographic area) clearly indicated that the proposed centers could be supported in base year 1990. Estimated Demand = 3,933,598 square feet+ Estimated Supply = 3,378,430 square feet+ Estimated Supply Shortfall = 555,168 square feet~ In addition, with projected population increases in the trade area to 92,801 by 1995, an estimated 4,580,758 square feet could be supported in the trade area which extends more than 2.0 miles west of the Knuth Road (western corporate limits of the City of Boynton Beach - usi~g Boynton Beach Boulevard as an east/west point of reference). Hence, a substantial portion of unincorporated Palm Beach County (western boundary of trade area is El Clair Ranch Road) is included in the trade area given the subject sites are located on the western periphery of the existing corporate limits of the City of Boynton Beach. While the City's Comprehensive Plan indicates an existing over- allocation of commercial land use, the trade area associated with the subject projects does not conincide with the corporate limits of Boynton Beach in total. To make a determination that , J .,. ; , " ! i \ . no additional commercial land is needed at the subject sites based on the methodology used to allocate commercial acreage , (which includes all commercial lumped togetherisuch as office, personal services, hotels/motels, nursing homes and ACLF's, marine commercial and other miscellaneous uses in commercial districts) in the City's Comprehensive Plan is much too generic an approach. Site specific analysis is required to make such a determination. Given the commercial categories comprising all commercial land uses within the City of Boynton Beach are lumped together in the Comprehensive Plan (particularly on the supply side - ACLFts, nursing homes, marine commercial, etc.) and the fact that Boynton Beach as well as Palm Beach County used supply and demand figures bas e d . 0 n a c rea g era the r t h a, non s qua r~ e fee tin the i r Comprehensive Plans, our response is based on gross acreages, even though, as already pointed o~t, we believe this approach is too generic and a site specific analysis for particular types of commercial uses on a square footage basis is more appropriate. .; In the Economic Element of Palm Beach County's Comprehensive Plan, the trade area of the subject sites falls within both Planning Areas 5A and 5B (subject sites in Planning Area 5B). In both these Planning Areas, the Economic Element indicates that a shortfall in commercial acres exists. In Planning Area 5B, commercial land use needs are estimated at 1,153 acres in 1990, while occupied commercial acres* are estimated at 1,042 - a supply shortfall of 111 acres~. In Planning Area 5A Clocated to the direct west of 5B - predominantly unincorporated Palm Beach County), commercial land use needs are estimated at 310 acres in 1990, while occupied commercial acres* are estimated at 224 - a supply shortfall of 86 acres~. '1 . , ':1 ! The approach taken by CH2M Hill (the County's Economic Consultan~) was to estimate the relationship between population and commercial development using an input-output model, and after making adjustments to reflect anticipated changes in demographics and employment character, they estimated future demands for commercial lands as a function of projected levels of population. It is also important to point out that the analysis performed by CH2M Hill recommended an additional 5 year inventory above current needs be permitted/designated in each Planning Area to a 11 ow time for the deve 1 opmen t process to occu r . Therefore, the 1995 recommended acreage figures of 1,303 acres in 5B and 502 acres in 5A are indicated in terms of what should be allowed to be designated and zoned for development during 1990, which serves to increase the supply shortfall and supports the results of our market analyses. * Occupied commercial acres includes all developed, zoned or designated commercial land. ,~" ,..:.;,'~~~>Ift.',~,A:,!y,.'.....
