April 8, 1992
TO: Members of the planning and Zoning Board
THRU: Christopher Cutro, Planning and Zoning Director~~
FROM: Dorothy Moore, Zoning and Site Plan Reviewer ~~
RE: Exxon Service Station - Conditional Use Application
File No. 669
SUMMARY: Jonas S. Nordal, President of RJ Properties and
Developments, Inc. and agent for Lonestar Hardware, Inc., is
requesting Condit1onal Use approval to allow retail gasoline
sales on a 1.000 acre site at the Southeast corner of Woolbright
Road and Congress Avenue. The subject parcells zoned C-3,
Community Commercial District. There is currently a vacant,
26,000 square foot retail facility (formerly occupied by Westlake
Hardware) and a parking lot situated at the site, which w1ll be
demolished to accommodate this project. The property has a 200
foot frontage on Congress Avenue that has a clipped corner which
is for the future right-of-way dedication and a 221.75 frontage
on Woolbright Road which also has the same clipped corner for the
future right-of-way dedication. Retail gasoline, convenience
store and car wash sales are permitted subject to Conditional Use
approval in the C-3 zoning district if the property has frontage
on a four-lane collector or arterial road. Currently, Woolbright
Road is classified as a four-lane county minor arterial road and
Congress Avenue is a four-lane county minor arterial road.
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING (See attached location map):
Abutting the subject property to the North is the right-of-way
for Woolbright Road. Across Woolbright Road to the North is the
business office building of the Palm Beach Federal Savings Bank,
zoned C-l. Abutting the subject parcel to the east is 160 feet
of the remainder of "Parcel A" and to the East of that portion of
"Parcel A" is the Sun First National Bank of Palm Beach County,
zoned C-3. To the South of the subject parcel is the remainder
of exhibit "A" attachment referred to as "Parcel B". To the
South of the subject property "Parcel B" is the residential
community of Cedarwood Villas, zoned C-3. Across Congress Avenue
to the West 1S Glendale Federal Bank, zoned C-3. At the
Northwest corner of the intersection of Woolbright Road and
Congress Avenue, at the diagonal corner opposite the subject
parcel is Mobil Oil service station. This is a permissible
intersection for service stations.
PROPOSED USE (See attached site plan): The applicant is
proposing to demolish the existing vacant structure and parking
lot and to construct a service station with retail gasoline
sales, including a convenience store and car wash. Included would
be the new parking lot with the required site lighting, buffers
and landscaping meeting the code requirements of the Code of
Ordinances. A canopy is proposed over the convenience store and
the fuel pump islands.
STANDARDS FOR EVALUATING CONDITIONAL USES: The Planning and
Zoning Board and City Commission shall consider only such
conditional uses as are authorized under the terms of these
zoning regulations and, in connection therewith, may grant
conditional uses absolutely or cond1tioned upon the conditions
including, but not limited to, the dedication of property for
streets, alleys, recreation space and sidewalks, as shall be
determined necessary for the protection of the surrounding area
and the c1tizens' general welfare, or deny conditional uses when
not in harmony with the intent and purpose of this section. In
-TO: Planning & Zoning Board
RE: Exxon service Station
Page Two of Four
evaluating an application for conditional use, the Board and
Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed use on
the general health, safety and welfare of the community and
make written findings certifying that satisfactory provision
has been made concerning the following standards, where
applicable:
1. Ingress and egress to the subject property and
proposed structures thereon, with particular reference
to automobile and pedestrian safety and convenience,
traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire
or catastrophe.
Proposed access would be provided by a driveway onto
Congress Avenue and a driveway onto Woolbright Road. The
driveway onto Congress Avenue is thirty-five (35) feet wide.
The driveway on Woolbright Road is also thirty-five (35) feet
wide. The driveway on Congress Avenue lies within 135 feet of
intersecting rights-of-way lines. The driveway on Woolbright
Road lles within 140 feet of intersecting rights-of-way
lines. Note that for the future development of the property
adjacent to the site, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division
has determined the balance of trips remaining on the site
after the service station is constructed is 729, instead of
the 799 reported in the traffic statement submitted by the
applicant's traffic engineer.
2. Off-street parking and loading areas where required, with
particular attention to the items in subsection 1 above,
and the economic, glare, noise, and odor effects the
conditional use will have on adjacent and nearby properties,
and the city as a whole.
Eleven (11) parking spaces are shown on the Site plan
which is the minimum required by the Zoning Regulations.
The lighting provided should be directed away from abutting
properties. It is not anticipated that the proposed use
would create any additional adverse impacts on surrounding
use.
3. Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to the
items in subsection 1 and 2 above.
A dumpster is proposed to be located in the southeast
corner of the site. The odors from the dumpster would be
detectable for up to 200 feet from the dumpster enclosure.
The properties which abut this parcel are located beyond
this range and would not be adversely affected. Concerning
the serviceability of the dumpster the Public Works Director
has indicated that this would be a suitable location for the
dumpster. The location is also non-objectionable from an
esthetic standpoint.
4. Utilities, with reference to locations, availability, and
compatibility.
The site 1S served with water and sewer lines which are
adequate to serve the proposed use.
5. Screening, buffering and landscaping with reference to
type, dimensions, and character.
The proposed landscaping and buffering meets or exceeds
the requirements of the Landscaping and Zoning regulations.
TO: Planning & Zoning Board
RE: Exxon Service Station
Page Three of Four
6. Signs, and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to
glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility
and harmony with adjacent and nearby properties.
The proposed signs and site lightlng generally meets the
requirements of the Sign and Parking Lot regulation
respectively. There are however, some comments from staff
which address minor aspects of proposed signs and site
lighting.
7. Required setbacks and other open spaces.
The proposed building setbacks meet or exceed the
requirements of the Appendix A-Zoning, Section II.L. -
Commercial establishments engaged in the retail sale of
gasoline or gasoline products.
8. General compatibility with adjacent properties, and
other property in the zoning district.
Currently the site is occupied by an existing structure
and parking facilities. The building was formerly occupied
by a hardware store known as "Westlake Hardware" and is now
vacant. This structure and parking lot will be demolished.
It is not anticipated that a retail gasoline, convenience
store and car wash at this location would adversely impact
surrounding land uses, on the contrary, the improvements to
the site, lncluding landscaping may have a positive
influence on surrounding properties. In addition, the
proposed uses will not adversely effect future uses on the
remainder of the site.
9. Height of buildings and structures, with reference to
compatibility and harmony to adjacent and nearby properties,
and the city as a whole.
The proposed building is a one-story structure which is
compatible with surrounding land uses. The height to the
top of the canopy is seventeen and one-half feet.
10. Economic effects on adjacent and nearby properties, and
the city as a whole.
It is not anticipated that a retail gasoline convenience
store and car wash service station located on this site
would adversely impact property values in the surrounding
area.
11. Conformance to the standards and requirements which apply
to site plans, as set forth in Chapter 19, Article II of the
City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances.
This project conforms to the standards and requirements
which apply to site plans as set forth in Chapter 4,
Part III - Code of Ordinances - Land Development
Regulations Sections 1. thru 13.
. TO: Plannlng & Zoning Board
RE: Exxon Service Station

vided, length to approximate 75'. Ordinance 92-6, Section
3.E.4.C. Note: This can be a accomplished using pavement
markings.
