AGENDA DOCUMENTS MINUTES PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA OCTOBER 10, 1995 Description: Center Lisa A. Tropepe, P.E. Shalloway, Foy, Rayman & Newell, Inc. American Development Corporation Southwest corner of N.W. 22nd Avenue (Gateway Boulevard) and Congress Avenue Request for site plan approval to construct a 6,238 square foot, 222 seat, one-story restaurant on a 1.617 acre outparcel at the Target Shopping Center. Agent: Owner: 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. 10 MINUTES PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA OCTOBER 10, 1995 CHAIRMAN DUBE ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

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.
