Heartland Health Care Center (Application #4)
Annexation Program, Group 1 of Phase 2
Applications for Annexation, Land Use Amendment/Rezoning
INTRODUCTION
Following the annexation of Group I, phase 1 (enclaves), the City
Commission directed staff to, in addition to continuing efforts to
annex the enclave properties, increase the focus on Phase 2 of the
annexation program beginning with the annexation of those eligible
properties located within the service area, immediately west of the
City. Eligible properties are defined as those contiguous
properties whose owners have consented to being an,nexed. Th~
property occupied by the Heartland Health Care Centerl~nG owned by
Health Care and Retirement Corporation of America is one of five
eligible properties (see location map). The Heartland Health Care
Center is a 120-bed, skilled nursing homewhich specializes in the
care of those with Alzheimer's Disease.
All five (5) property owners were sent two separate notices (in
addition to the official rezoning/public hearing notice) informing
them of the City's annexation plans. Since staff was not contacted
by anyone associated with this property or business, their comments
relative to annexation are unknown.
All five (5) applications consist of an application for annexation
and land use plan amendment/rezoning. As this property is being
annexed in accordance with the City's annexation program, staff has
completed the necessary applications, and the corresponding
application fees were waived.
The specific analysis for these applications is on the following
page and in the form of an abbreviated summary. This summary
includes a brief outline describing each property, each
application, adjacent land uses, the availability of facilities,
the basis on which each is found consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan, other pertinent information, and the recommendation. A
location map follows this analysis.

CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Consistency with the Future Land Use plan - Consistent
1# The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map recommends land use classifications for this
unincorporated area. Through the Comprehensive Plan, this adjacent area was designated
with a land use classification based upon its access, the commercial uses to the east
and south, the activity generated by the Boynton Beach Mall, and the relatively high
density developments to the west. Staff therefore proposes to amend the Future Land
Use map to show this annexed property as High Density Residential.
Consistency with the goals, objectives, and policies - Consistent
Since this land use classification is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan, and
annexation would be consistent with State law. there are few objectives or policies
related to this request. However, there are several issues that should be addressed,
as they describe characteristics of this site, indicate consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan, and/or fulfill requirements of the Florida Department of Community
of Affairs with respect to the review of plan amendments.
Annexation
This request for annexation, which is in accordance with the City's annexation program
established pursuant to Policy 8.10.4. is consistent with Florida Law.
Availability of Facilities
Florida Administrative Code requires that the availability of, and impact upon public
facilities be analyzed. The appropriate analysis for each facility has been conducted,
and the results are summarized as follows:
Roads: No impact upon the availability of road facilities.
Water/Sewer: No impact upon the availability of water/sewer facilities.
Solid Waste: No impact upon the availability of solid waste facilities.
Recreation: No impact upon the availability of recreation facilities.
Drainage: No impact upon the availability of drainage facilities.
Impact upon Historical/Archeological Resources
Not applicable
Impact upon Native Habitats or other Environmental Resources
Not applicable
Flood Zone: "B"
Consistency with the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan
· Based upon allowable maximum densities, the proposed designation is less restrictive
than the County's current future land use classification. This designation is based
upon the City's Comprehensive Plan. which included a comprehensive analysis of the land
use patterns in this area.
OTHER
· It should be noted that the nursing home will be considered nonconforming within the
City of Boynton Beach.
