TC1wnship 4S South, Range 42 East I in the unince,rporated area of
1'a 1m Beach Count y, FIor ida. 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.

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:

As shown above, on an average weekday, the project will
generate approximately 8,365 vehicle trips at the project's
driveways.
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%. Thus, the external traffic is recal-
culated to be:

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:

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.

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.

A r~view and an analysis of the volumes shown in Figure 5
were performed based upon the procedures in "Interim Materials on
HJ ghway Capacity", Transportation Research Circular Number 212,
~Tanuary 1980 and the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual. From these
andlyses, shown in APPENDIX E, the following ~oadway improvements
are recommended:

This proposed 120,000 square foot retail development is
expected to generate an average of 4,818 additional trips per day
on th~ area's roadway system at complete occupancy and buildout.
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.

(2)
(b)
Land Use Analysis Requirements
An analysis of the character and magnitude
of existing vacant or undeveloped land in
order to determine its suitability for use,
including where available:
4. 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. 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.

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.

(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.

(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~.

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.
RESPONSE: Same as response to State Plan Consistency
above.

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.

- 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.

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.

r
SITE ANALYSIS
r
The subject site falls within unincorporated Palm Beach County.
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.

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:

Population projections (as prepared by Urban Decision Systems,
Inc.) for the trade area are as follows: 1980 - 53,102; 1990
70,692; 1995 - 92,801. 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.

Based on the methodology utilized in this analysis, as evidenced
by the information contained on the preceding page, an additional
2,200,668 square feet can be supported by the population in
the trade area in 1990. 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) .

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS
r'-
,
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
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,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.

_ 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.

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.

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.

SITE ANALYSIS
The subject site falls within unincorporated Palm Beach County.
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.

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.

Population projections (as prepared by Urban Decision Systems,
53,102; 1990
is estimated
experience
f'
\
Inc.) for the trade area are as follows: 1980-
70,692; 1995 - 92,801. 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.

Based on the methodology utilized in this analysis, as evidenced
by the information contained on the preceding page, an additional
2,200,668 square feet can be supported by the population in
the trade area in 1990_ 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.
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.).

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.

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).

Addendum to Market Analyses by Thompson Consulting,Inc. for

The subject requests conform with Policy 1.19.6 which indicates
that subsequent to Plan adoption the City should not allow
commercial acreage which is greater than the demand which has
been projected, unless it can be demonstrated that a geographic
nee d e xis t s \-li h i '~"h''"''~'~';; not be f u 1 f ill e d bye xis tin g com mer cia 11 y-
zoned property.
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

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~.

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.
