MEMORANDUM
5 December 1986
TO:
Chairman and Members
Planning and Zoning Board
FROM:
Carmen S. Annunziato, Planning Director
RE:
Cross Creek Centre -
Amendment to Previous Rezoning Approval
Kevin McGinley, agent for Steven Rhodes, applicant and trustee,
is requesting an amendment to a previously approved land use
amendment/rezoning application to allow for the addition of a 30
foot wide by 1,082 foot wide (.74 acre) parcel adjacent to the
Lake Worth Drainage District L-24 Canal. The proposed use of
this property, if rezoned, would be to sod and landscape it and
use a portion of it (approximately 25 feet) as part of the 30
foot wide greenbelt required by the PCD zoning district
regulations. The trees would be placed in the remaining
five-foot wide strip adjacent to the rear of the office building
and parking lot, as the Lake Worth Draininage District possesses
an easement which prohibits the planting of any trees or shrubs
in the 30 foot wide addition (see master plan in Exhibit A).
On December 16, 1986, the City Council is scheduled to adopt on
second reading, ordinances for Cross Creek Centre which amend the
Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan from "High
Density Residential" to "Local Retail Commercial" and rezone the
subject parcel from R-3 (Multi-Family Residential) to a PCD
(Planned Commercial Development). Also scheduled for the 16th is
the adoption of an ordinance approving the Evaluation and
Appraisal Report as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Included in the adoption of the E and A report is language which
amends the future use of land from "High Density Residential" to
"Local Retail Commercial" for the additional .74 acre parcel
adjacent to the Lake Worth Drainage District L-24 canal, as
outlined in the attached Memorandum from the Planning Director to
the City Manager (see Exhibit B).
Given the resolution of the land use issue, the remaining
procedure to be undertaken is to amend the original PCD zoning
request to incorporate the .74 acre addition, increasing the
overall area of the Planned Commercial Development from 3.971
acres to 4.715 acres. This will require public hearings before
the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council and Council
adoption of the ordinance to rezone from R-3 (Multi-Family
Residential) to PCD (Planned Commercial Development District).
The Planning Department recommends that the request to increase
the area of the Cross Creek Centre Planned Commercial zoning
district from 3.971 to 4.715 acres for the purpose of providing
additional landscaping and open space be approved subject to
previous staff comments and commitments on the part of the
developer.

MEMORANDUM
18 November 1986
TO:
Peter L. Cheney, City Manager
FROM:
Carmen S. Annunziato, Planning Director
RE:
Cross Creek Land Use Element Amendment
The developers of the proposed Cross Creek Planned Commercial
Development (north of Boynton Beach Boulevard east of the
Villager Shopping Center) have acquired an additional .74 acres
of land north of and adjacent to the land which is the subject of
a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. This land was acquired as a
result of negotiations with the Lake Worth Drainage District, and
it invol"es portions of LWDD Canal #24.
In conne" tion with t:'lis additional land, the applicant submitted
a request for a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element
Amendment and also questioned the Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) as to the necessity for going through the plan amendment
process (see attached letter from Ciklin to the Planning
Director). In this regard, I have written DCA asking for a
clarification, and Mr. Kessler of the Department of Community
Affairs has responded that the City can make non-substantive
changes to plans previously received by DCA.
Therefore, because the land use change requested by the
developers of the proposed Cross Creek office/retail complex does
not result in any additional square footage over what was
previously agreed upon, it is recommended that the Evaluation and
Appraisal Report Future Land Use Map be amended to show Local
Retail land use over the .74 acres. This can be accomplished as
a part of the ordinance adoption procedure.
