SUBJECT:

UPS Communication center - PKLV 95-005
Parking Lot Variance (Increase in Parking Stalls)
DATE:
NATURE OF REQUEST
Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article I, Section 3.B.3.d. of the City
of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, requires that when
a variance to the parking lot regulations is requested, the
Technical Review Committee must forward to the City Commission, a
recommendation that is to be part of the public record. This
change in parking lot variance procedure for Commission action o~ly
on parking lot variances become effective with the recent adopt1on
of the land development regulations.
Although this function is no longer formally a part of the Planning
and Development Board's duties, the Commission has indicated that
they would like the Board I s comments and recommendation on a
parking lot variance that is submitted concurrently and in
connection with a related site plan or conditional use approval,
since parking lot design is a significant part of reviewing a site
plan. The information below has been prepared by staff to be made
part of the record for the public hearing proceedings before the
City Commission on October 17, 1995 and serves to apprise the Board
of the variances that have been submitted in connection with the
United Parcel Service Communication Center's major site plan
modification application that requires formal review by the Board
(See Exhibit "A" - Letter of Request).
BACKGROUND
Kilday and Associates, agent for United Parcel Service (UPS) c/o
Mark Dixon, is requesting a variance to the City of Boynton Beach
Land Development Regulations, Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article I,
Section 2. Scope. F. for the planned expansion of the parking area
beyond twenty-five (25) per cent of that previously approved for
the site. The variance would exclude implementation of the
regulations pertaining to required improvements as described in
Article II - Required Improvements of Chapter 23 - Parking lots
( see Exhibit "B" - Article II, Chapter 23). The variance is
requested in connection with a concurrent major site plan
modification application for the site located at 3800 South
Congress Avenue (see Exhibit "C" - location map and Exhibit "D" -
site plan).
The proposed expansion to the parking area is in connection with
the UPS request for occupancy in the existing bUilding. The
existing building contains 125,281 square feet of which 95,200
square feet is for UPS. The balance, 30,081 square feet, is
vacant. It should be noted that the areas indicated in the letter
of request do not match the areas identified on the plans. The
areas referenced in the report reflect the areas identified on the
plans. United Parcel Service requires a minimum of seven hundred
fifty (750) parking spaces solely for employee use. Since the
eXisting parking is substantially below the number of parking
spaces that ?re required, the applicant is proposing to construct
486 new park1ng spaces. The 486 new parking spaces exceed twenty-
five (25) per cent of the existing spaces provided at the site.
The::efore, the entire parking facility, including the existing
veh1cle use area, shall be improved to meet current code
requirements.

ANALYSIS
Chapter 23, Article I, Section 2. F. of the City, of Boynton Beach,
Land Development Regulations, states the follow1ng:
When an existing parking lot is expanded by twenty five
(25) per cent or more in parking stalls beyond what was
originally approved."
The applicant proposes upgrading all of the existing vehicle use
area with the exception of a vehicle use area that is located south
of the building. This vehicle use area contains 152 parking spaces
and is delineated on Exhibit "D". The applicant further purposes
that this area remain "as is" and that it be upgraded to comply
with current regulations at the time when a tenant or tenants
occupy the vacant space within the building. As previously stated
there is 30,081 square feet of vacant space remaining in the
building.
"F.
Chapter 23, Article II - Required Improvements, relates to parking
lots either to be constructed or reconstructed. The applicant is
specifically asking for relief from the sections of Article II
below:
A. Illumination
B. Traffic control
C. Landscaping
D. Irrigation
E. Curbs and car stops
F. Drainage
L. Parking Lot Striping
That portion of the existing parking to remain in its existing
condition is not a part of the parking that has been assigned to
the UPS tenant space. The vehicle use area containing 152 parking
spaces will more than adequately support the remaining vacant
square footage.
As indicated on the site plan, .the h:orth access aisle is not
proposed to be upgraded. The plans indi9ate a 10 foot wide area of
asphalt is being removed at the propertylline along Congress Avenue
, \
for right-of-way landscaping and curbinglplaced across the on-site
access to the north access aisle. The i~ason is to prevent usage
of a paved area of approximately 20 fee~. wide by 1,660 feet long
that would remain on site, in disrepair an~ not improved to current
standards. .
RECOMMENDATION
On Tuesday, September 12, 1995, the Technic:.al Review Committee
(TRC) reviewed the plans and documents submitted and formulated a
recommendation with regard to the variance requested. After review
and discussion, the TRC recommended approval of the request to
expand the parking area by more than twenty-five (25) per cent
without upgrading, to current parking lot regulations, the vehicle
use area located south of the building as delineated on Exhibit
liD". This recommendation for approval is subject to the property
owner upgrading the subject vehicle use area at the time that a
tenant expands into or occupies any portion of the 30,081 square
feet of vacant space. Also, since the applicant did not address
or include the north access aisle as part of this request this
access aisle shall be upgraded at the time of tenant occupa~cy of
the vacant space, or earlier, if UPS finds that they need to use
it.

The undersigned hereby petitions the Planning and Zoning Board to
grant to the petitioner a variance to Article X "Parking Lots",
of Chapter 5, "Building, Housing and Construction Regulations",
of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida,
as it pertains to the property described in this application, and
for the reasons stated below:
Section, Subsection, and Paragraph number of specific requirement
to which variance is requested, and exact language contained in
the Code:
Chapter 23 Parking Lots Article I
Paragraph . and F
Section 2 -Scope
Existing Parking areas to be brought up to current code requirements
if a change in occupancy or if additional parking exceeding 25% of what
exists is constructed on the site.
Nature of Variance Requested: The southern parking area on the subject
site will not be utilized by the new tenant, UPS. The nature of this variance
is to allow the existing parking area to remain "as-is" for future tenant use.
This parking area was constructed pursuant to a previously approved site
development plan prior to recent improvements required by today's Code.
Statement of Special Conditions, Hardships, or other reasons
Justifying the Requested Variance (attached additional sheets if
necessary) :
Special conditions are that the applicant is leasing a portion of an existing
building. The existing parking area to the south was constructed per old Code
regulations in effect at that time, and prior to the applicant's interest in the
C::l1njp('t ~:1r(,Pl
A l~tera interpretation of this provision would create an unnecessary hardship
on the applicant in that this parking lot is remote from their intended operation
and will not be utilized by the applicant as it is required to meet parking needs
of a future tenant. Granting this variance will not confer any special privileges
as the future tenant will be required to upgrade their respective parking area
just as the applicant is required to upgrade theirs.
(I) (We) understand that this application and all papers or plans
submitted herewith become a part of the permanent records of the
Planning and Zoning Board.
(I) (We) hereby certify that the above statements and the
statements or showings made in any papers or plans submitted
herewith are true to the best of (my) (our) knowledge. This
application will not be accepted unless signed below.

the main driveway on the north side of the building and these too will comply with all
code requirements,
The parking area on the south side of the existing building will not be used by the
lessee, UPS. As they will not be occupying the southern 1/4 of the building, and as they
are providing ample parking spaces to meet their employee requirements, this parking
area will be reserved for a future tenant. Therefore, all but one of the variances being
requested address the ability to allow this parking area to remain lias is" until a future
tenant is secured, As each required improvement is considered a separate variance in
the zoning coele under Chapter 23, Articel II, separate variances must be requested.
Therefore, there are seven (7) variances required to allow the southern parking area to
remain lIas-isll,
UPS will also be constructing a new parking area to the east of the existing building.
Their second main employee entrance is located along the eastern facade of the
builidng, This parking area is designated with two construction phases to expedite the
South Florida Water Management permit approval process. This new parking area will
meet all required improvements, except one. The perimeter landscape requirements
require a hedge along the eastern edge of the proposed parking area to screen it from
adjacent right-af-ways, A variance is being requested to eliminate the need for this
hedge as the uses to the east consist of an LWDD canal easement, an FP&L easement
and 1-95, and as there is a minimum 500 foot separation from this parking area to 1-95,
and as an existing stand of vegetation exists within the canal right-of-way which currently
screens this parking area from the Interstate, To offset the elimination of this
requirement, UPS will be providing additional landscaping (above code) adjacent to
Congress Avenue to help screen the existing parking area from that road and residents
to the west, and is exceeding the amount of interior greenspace required within the
parking areas.
A total of eight (8) variances are being requested, Seven (7) of them are associated
with the ability to leave the southern parking area lias-is" as it will not be utilized by the
lessee, UPS, One is associated with the ability to eliminate a perimeter hedge along the
eastern side of the new parking area in exchange for upgraded landscape elsewhere
where it will be a greater benefit to the public.

northwestern (front) corner of the building. The existing circular drop-off area will be
expanded with additional parking spaces to accommodate this activity. This parking area
will meet all zoning code requirements,
UPS needs a minimum of 750 parking spaces solely for their employee use, Therefore,
additional employee parking needs to be provided on site. Pursuant to the City of
Boynton Beach Zoning Code Chapter23, Article I, Section 2,F, an increase in parking
stalls exceeding 25% of the existing stalls requires all parking areas on site, both existing
and new, to comply with all required improvements stated in Chapter 23, Article II.

south, UPS will occupy 93,901 square feet of the existing building, or approximately 3/4
of the space, UPS is leasing the building from the property owner and is responsible for
upgrading the site to comply with both their internal requirements and City of Boynton
Beach code requirements, UPS intends to utilize the parking area located to the north
of the building as employee parking, One of the two main employee entrances is
located along the north facade of the building, Therefore, the existing parking area will
be upgraded to meet code requirements, including re-striping of spaces and aisles,
required interior and perimeter landscaping, wheelstops where necessary, and lighting,

Therefore, there are seven (7) variances required to allow the southern parking area to
remain "as-is",
UPS will also be constructing a new parking area to the east of the existing building,
Their second main employee entrance is located along the eastern facade of the
builidng, This parking area is designated with two construction phases to expedite the
South Florida Water Management permit approval process, This new parking area will
meet all required improvements, except one, The periLTIeter landscape requirements
require a hedge along the eastern edge of the proposed parking area to screen it from
adjacent right-ot-ways, A variance is being requested to eliminate the need for this
hedge as the uses to the east consist of an LWDD canal easement, an FP&L easement
and 1-95, and as there is a minimum 500 foot separation from this parking area to 1-95,
and as an existing stand of vegetation exists within the canal right-of-way which currently
screens this parking area from the Interstate. To offset the elimination of this
requirement, UPS will be providing additional landscaping (above code) adjacent to
Congress Avenue to help screen the existing parking area from that road and residents
to the west, and is exceeding the amount of interior greenspace required within the
parking areas.
A total ot eight (8) variances are being requested, Seven (7) of them are associated
with the ability to leave the southern parking area "as-is" as it will not be utilized by the
lessee, UPS, One is associated with the ability to eliminate a perimeter hedge along the
eastern side of the new parking area in exchange for upgraded landscape elsewhere
where it will be a greater benefit to the public,
