Request for site plan approval to construct a 6,238

1.617 acre outparcel at the Target Shopping
Center.

Location:
Dan DeCarlo made the presentation. The land use designation is General Commercial, and
the zoning designation is Community Commercial (C-3). The surrounding land uses are N.W.
22nd Avenue and Mahogany Bay to the north; the Target Shopping Center to the south;
Congress Avenue and Motorola to the east; and Savannah Lakes to the west. This property is
an outparcel within the Target Shopping Center which is an improved lot with parking and
landscaping. With regard to traffic concurrency, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division has
reviewed the traffic generation and impact proposed by this outparcel, and has determined
that there will be no net increase in trips generated than that previously approved for the
center. There is currently a capacity problem with Gateway Boulevard. To avoid having to
make improvements to Gateway Boulevard, which are scheduled by the County for next year,
traffic concurrency was met by reducing the 75,000 square feet of office, use vested as part of
the Catalina Centre to 68,230 square feet. This outparcel does not have access to the major
publ ic right-of-way; however, one two-way major driveway into the existing Target parking
lot offers access to the subject site. The proposed parking facility contains the required spaces
for commercial or restaurant use with 222 seats planned. The proposed development includes
all minimum landscaping required by Code, and meets the requirements of the building and
site regulations for C-3 zoning.
The proposed stucco building will match the color of the adjacent Target building and
includes green trim and green and white awnings. The colors are compatible with the colors
of the neighboring structures. There will be signage on the facade of the building and one
freestanding sign on the northeast corner of the parcel. .
The Planning and Zoning Department recommends approval of this site plan request subject
to reflection of staff comments and all other applicable City of Boynton Beach Code of
Ordinances on the plans submitted for building permits.
Lisa Tropepe, 1201 Belvedere Road~ West Palm_Beach, reported that all second-round
comments were reviewed, and the applicant is confident that all of those comments can be
addressed.

Chairman Dube acknowledged the presence in the audience of City Manager Parker.
Dan DeCarlo made the presentation. He advised that the zoning is M-1 (light Industrial) and
the land use designation is Industrial. The site area is 32.89 acres, and the building square
footage is 124,281 square foot of which 95,200 square feet will be used by UPS. The
surrounding land uses are warehousing and industrial uses to the north; the canal to the south;
1-95 to the east; and vacant land to the west.
Minor changes to the exterior of the structure are proposed. The building color will remain
as is. Substantial modifications will be required to the interior to achieve the required floor
plan for the 750 employees expected for the communication and customer service operations.
Additional parking spaces will be constructed on the east side of the building.
With regard to concurrency and traffic, the existing project is anticipated to be vested for
traffic concurrency. Verification is forthcoming from Palm Beach County Traffic Division.
Two entrances to the existing facility now exist off Congress Avenue. Only the one furthest
south will be utilized. The north driveway will be blocked off with a chain supported by
bollards.
UPS needs a minimum of 750 parking spaces solely for their employee use. Therefore,

this outparcel is beautifully landscaped at the present time. There are existing trees and shrubs that
meet the Code requirements; however, the owners of Carrabba's wish to provide additional
landscaping around the restaurant and the perimeter of the parcel because they feel it is a good
marketing tool.

MARCH 18, 1996
City Manager Parker advised that the police will patrol to make sure that the park is closed at
dusk. With regard to the plaza beneath the bridge, we are addressing access and lighting with the
Department of Transportation. The marina project is being looked at in terms of security lighting
and access for foot patrol. City Manager Parker also advised that all patrol of the downtoWD;has
already been switched to bicycle patrol.
Mr. Russillo stated that the residents of Coastal Towers are concerned about the area under the
bridge. Mayor Taylor stated that there will be fencing there, so people will not be able to walk
from beneath the bridge to Coastal Towers.
4. RECENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACfMTIES
Ms. Shabotynskyj asked if any new businesses are planning to locate to Boynton Beach. Mayor
Taylor advised that Romano's Macaroni Grill is going into the old Marie Callender's, and Cracker
Barrel is going to be on Woolbright Road. Weare currently working with someone who wants to
redo the entire project where the old K-Mart is on Federal Highway. They want to landscape it,
do lighting, and renovate Walgreen's. However, they want a drive through prescription window,
which our Code does not allow. Also, an Italian restaurant is going in bfTarget. :Jt11t~Ll/~;j~.'

Mr. Norem was glad that someone wants to redevelopment the K-Mart Shopping Center. He
asked ifit would be possible to make the area where K-Mart is, and what backs up against the
Intracoastal, into a public area as opposed to a loading zone for semis.
Mayor Taylor advised that the land behind K-Mart is owned by a different party, and the party
who wants to redo this area is trying to purchase that land also. Mayor Taylor pointed out that
there is enough room there for something nice, like a restaurant on the Intracoastal.
Unfortunately, retail is authorized in that area.
Ms. Shabotynskyj asked if there are any plans for Quantum Park. Mayor Taylor informed her
that we are working on a couple of big things for Quantum Park; however, it is too early to talk
about them. Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that the Chamber of Commerce is ready to put together
some of their bigwigs when the City wants them to meet with some big companies.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz advised that the old Sandpiper Motel on Federal Highway is going to be
demolished within 45 days, and the owner has indicated that he will probably build high priced
town houses on that property. Commissioner Bradley said he received a telephone call today
