MEMORANDUM
To: Carmen Annunziato, Planning Director
From: Joe C. Swan, P.E. P3~~
for John A. Guidry, Director of Utilities J'
Date: July 6, 1988
Subject: TRB Review - McDonald's at Catalina Centre
Conditional Use
We have the following objections to this usage:
1. The location of the water and force mains relative to the
building are not as shown. We believe the 16" force main is
approximately 8' from the building pad, and the water main
approximately 20' from the pad. A serious break in either
main would require extensive excavation and repair, and could
conceivably damage the proposed building, thus incurring added
liability to the City.
2. A hold harmless agreement would be required regarding the
normal functioning of the sewage air relief valve.
3. It is our general opinion that the subject site is not large
enough to accommodate a building of this size.

RE:
McDonald's Restaurant at Catalina Centre Plat No.2
Revised Conditional Use Application - Staff Comments
Please be advised of the Planning Department's comments in
connection with the above-referenced request for conditional use
approval.
1. The drive-through aisle on the south side of the building is
only ten (10) feet in width and does not meet the twelve (12)
feet required by the parking lot regulations for one-way
drives. Dimension all drive-through lanes on blow-up sheet,
SP-2.
2. Building signage is permitted separately through the Building
Department. Approval of these plans does not constitute
building signage approval.
The applicant should be aware that the new sign ordinance
allows flat signs only on the front of buildings. (See
Ordinance No. 88-33, Sec. 21-14(E)(5), Shopping Centers and
Malls, since this is a leased outparcel.) A sign variance
would need to be applied for through the Building Department.
3. Parking spaces do not meet 9'x 18'requirement or overhang
credit.
4. The revised shared parking study submitted includes both the
McDonald's and Gerulaitis tennis resort. As was noted in the
study, two (2) additional parking spaces have been lost at
the hotel and two (2) lost at the resort since the July 19,
1988 City Commission approval of both projects. A revised
hotel site plan reflecting the lost spaces is required to be
submitted for Planning Department files at the time of final
sign-off for the resort or McDonald's, whichever comes first.
5. The site data table on the shopping center site plan should
correspond with the parking space calculations within the
revised shared parking study.

MEMORANDUM
June 10, 1988
TO: CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
FROM: CARMEN S. ANNUNZIATO, PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: MCDONALD'S RESTAURANT AT CATALINA CENTRE,
PLAT NO.2-CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION
Summary: Roland Yates, agent for McDonald's Corporation, is
requesting Conditional Use approval for a McDonald's restaurant
with drive-through facilities to be located within Catalina
Centre, plat no. 2. The shopping center, which occupies a 12.96
acre parcel on the west side of Congress Avenue, south of N.W.
22nd Avenue, has an 840 foot frontage on Congress Avenue. The
McDonald's Restaurant is proposed to be located at the leased
outparcel at the southeast corner of the northern shopping center
driveway and Congress Avenue. The shopping center is zoned C-3,
Community Commercial. Restaurants with drive-through facilities
are permitted in the C-3 zoning district subject to Conditional
Use approval.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning (see attached location map):
Abutting the subject parcel to the north and west is the
undeveloped portion of the Congress Lakes Planned Unit
Development approved for 525 units and an 11.26 acre private
recreation area. Further north is the N.W. 22nd Avenue
right-of-way and Mahogany Bay, a developed portion of Congress
Lakes Planned Unit Development. Abutting the subject parcel to
the east is the Congress Avenue right-of-way. Further east
across Congress Avenue is Motorola. South of the subject parcel
is Catalina Centre plat no. 1 (hotel site). Further south is the
Boynton C-16 Canal.
Proposed Use (see attached site plan): With respect to the
approved site plan for the Catalina Centre shopping center,
the applicant is proposing to decrease the size and configuration
of the building footprint within the leased outparcel
from 6,000 square feet to 4,295 square feet. The applicant is
also proposing to change the surrounding parking lot to
accommodate the McDonald's Restaurant and drive-through facility.
Under the proposed layout and design of the outparcel, two
drive-through windows would be located on the east side of the
building, facing Congress Avenue. The drive-through entrance
would be located at the southwest corner of the building,
circulating drive-through traffic counter-clockwise around the
building with stacking lanes visible from Congress Avenue on,the
south and east sides of the building. The drive-through exit is
located at the northwest corner of the building. The main
entrance to the building would be located on the west side, away
from or opposite Congress Avenue. Two menu boards with speakers
are to be located on the south side of the building.
Standards for Evaluating Conditional Uses: Section 11.2.D of
the Zoning Regulations contains the following standards to which
conditional uses are required to conform. F.ollowing each of
these standards is the Planning Department's evaluation of the
application as to whether it would comply with the particular
standard:
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 conditioned upon the faithful
adherence to and of fulfillment of such restrictions and
conditions including, but not limited to, the dedication of
-2-
property for streets, alleys, and recreation space, and
sidewalks, as shall be necessary for the protection of the
surrounding area and the citizen's general welfare, or deny
conditional uses when not in harmony with the intent and purpose
of this section. In 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 to the restaurant outparcel would occur
by way of the shopping center driveways onto Congress
Avenue. These driveways would allow for sufficient
access to the proposed use. As a result of the
modification of the surrounding parking lot to
accommodate the McDonald's Restaurant and drive-through
facility, several circulation problems are noted in
reevaluating the shopping center site plan.
The entrance to the drive-through facility at the
southwest corner of the building is designed at an
angle to an access lane that will become heavily
used with the advent of the McDonald's Restaurant.
This drive-through entrance, designed at an angle to
increase stacking space, precludes north bound traffic
in this access lane from being able to maneuver into
the drive-through entrance.
Another traffic problem occurs at the drive-through exit
located at the northwest corner of the building. The
potential exists for congestion in this area and a
bottleneck situation created due to the close proximity
of this exit and the intersection of the access lane
with the Catalina Centre north drive. Right and left
turn movements from the drive-through exit are made
difficult due to the lack of stacking space between the
exit and the intersection.
2. Off-street parking and loading areas where required,
with particular attention to the items in subsection
D.1. above, and the economic, glare, noise, and odor
effects the conditional use would have on adjacent
and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
The design of the drive-through facility does not make
any provisions, due to tightness of the site, for
reserved parking that could be utilized when a
drive-through customer waiting in line at the window
cannot be served immediately, and is asked to park
and pick up his order so as not to impede the efficient
flow of traffic through the drive-through.
With respect to off-street parking, since the leased
outparcel is under the same ownership as the shopping center,
the parking requirement for the outparcel is included in the
parking calculation for the shopping center. In addition, a
shared parking study was originally approved for Catalina
Centre plats 1 and 2 to meet off-street parking requirements.
This study included the future construction of 20 parking
spaces for a maximum 6,000 square feet of retail floor space
to be built with the development of the leased outparcel.
A revised shared parking study was required by the
applicant to reflect the proposed changes in square
footage from 6,000 to 4,295 and a decrease from 20 to 13
in the number of parking spaces to be provided on the
leased outparcel. Section 11-H(13) of the Zoning Code
contains the provision for shared parking including a
-3-
minimum buffer of 10% to be provided to ensure that a
sufficient number of parking spaces is available at
times of peak hour use. Evidence for joint allocation
of required parking spaces shall be submitted to the
Technical Review Board, and approval of joint allocation
of required parking spaces shall be made by the Commission,
after review and recommendations by the Planning and
Zoning Board.
As a point of information, the most recent revision to the
Catalina Centre shared parking study to allow the addition of
the Marie Callender's Restaurant to plat no. 1 accounted
for the elimination of seven (7) parking spaces from
the hotel site from 441 spaces to a total of 434 spaces.
It did not account for the four (4) parking spaces that were
added to alleviate the loss of seven spaces as an amended
site plan for plat no. 1 was not submitted as part of the
Marie Callender's approval. This brings the number of
parking spaces for plat no. 1 up to a total of 438 parking
spaces, increasing the availability of spaces from which
the office, Marie Callender's and the shopping center can
share from the hotel at the 1:00 p.m. peak, the hour of the
greatest parking demand for the overall site.
Quantitatively, the following increases in buffer result:
a) 29.6% to 30.8% for the office at 1:00 p.m.
b) 90.2% to 93.9% for Marie Callender's
at 1:00 p.m.
c) 97.6% to 100.0% for Marie Callender's
at 8:00 p.m.
d) the shopping center buffer, including
McDonald's, is to be discussed next in
this report.
The proposed changes to the original shared parking
allocation to accommodate McDonald's are minor in scope and
the original methodology remains unchanged. Although the
applicant is proposing to decrease the number of parking
spaces from 20 to 13 on the leased outparcel, three (3)
parking spaces are proposed to be added to the leased
outparcel within plat no. 2 at the northwest corner of
Congress Avenue and the main shopping center entrance. This
brings the total number of parking spaces provided for plat
no. 2 to 684 on-site parking spaces vs. 724 spaces required
by code (144,620 sq. ft. . 200 = 724). The remaining 40
parking spaces required by code would be parking spaces
shared from the hotel site within plat no. 1.
The peak hour of parking demand for all four uses combined
(office, retail, hotel and restaurant) is 1:00 p.m. weekdays.
At this peak hour, assuming the worst case scenario (peak
season) and utilizing conservative estimates, the hotel will
only require 211 of 438 parking spaces provided, leaving a
statistical surplus of 227 spaces to be shared by the office
and retail developments. The retail development as
previously mentioned requires 40 of the hotel's surplus
spaces to meet code while the office building requires 110 of
the hotel's surplus spaces to meet code, leaving the
remaining 77 surplus spaces to be allocated toward the
calculation of the required 10% buffer as follows:
77
684 + 40
x
100%
=
10.6%
Therefore, given the worst case scenario of total parking
accumulation (weekdays at 1:00 p.m.), the shared parking
allocation for the Catalina Centre would still allow for a
statistical surplus of at least 78 parking spaces.
Incidentally, the 10.6% buffer is a change from 10.1% which
was the retail buffer provided with the previous approval of
Marie Callender's, prior to the McDonald's conditional use
request.
On Tuesday, June 7, 1988, the Technical Review Board met, at
-4-
which time they recommended approval of the shared parking
allocation. It was the consensus of the Technical Review
Board that the proposed shared parking allocation was
prepared and documented in accordance with code requirements
and that sufficient opportunity exists for shared parking to
occur on-site, given the mix of uses in the Catalina Centre
development.
3. Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to
the items in subsection D.1 and D.2 above.
A dumpster is proposed to be located near the southeast
corner of the building. The Public Works Director has
indicated that this would be a serviceable location for the
dumpster. However, concerns were raised by the Technical
Review Board regarding whether this location is suitable,
since the dumpster opening is directed toward the shopping
center leaving trash visible to the shopping center
patrons, but screened from McDonalds' patrons. The
Public Works Department also expressed a serious concern
with the liability of locating dumpsters in areas where
sidewalks are not provided and pedestrians must cross
within parking lots where vehicles must back out.
There has been a concern in the past (e.g.-Marie Callender's)
with dumpsters proposed to be located on a Congress Avenue
frontage. In an attempt to address this concern the
applicant is proposing to construct an 8' CBS wall on three
sides of the dumpster (the code requires a 6' high CBS wall)
to minimize visibility of the trash corral from Congress
Avenue.
With regard to fire service, the location of the kitchen
on the east side of the building, adjacent to the drive-
through lanes and removed from a parking area where an
emergency vehicle could pull up and park, makes responding
to a fire in the kitchen, where fires occur most often,
impossible without shutting the operation down and
evacuating customers. (See Fire Department memo for
details.)
4. Utilities, with reference to locations, availability,
and compatibility.
The site is served with water and sewer lines which are
adequate to serve the proposed use. As outlined in the
Utilities Department memo, it is questionable whether a
restaurant is appropriate at this location due to a sewer
force main that exists along the front of the proposed
building, which during its normal operation releases
unpleasant odors.
5. Screening, buffering, and landscaping with reference to
type, dimensions and character.
The proposed landscaping and buffering for the shopping
center meets or exceeds the requirements of the landscape
and zoning regulations respectively.
6. Signs and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to
glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility
and harmony with adjacent and nearby properties.
A freestanding sign was approved for the original shopping
center for the use of all project tenants, which is the
maximum allowed under the current sign regulations.
As outlined in the comments from the Building Department,
additional building signage is to be permitted separately
through the Building Department.
With reference to the Planning Department memo, the proposed
signs are potentially in conflict with the proposed sign
code. The applicant should also note that the existing sign
code does not allow two (2) drive-through menu board signs.
-5-
This may affect the applicant's request for two (2)
drive-through windows on the east (Congress Avenue) side of
the building.
The parking lot lighting in the vicinity of this outparcel
was not previous~ approved as a part of the original site
plan for the Catalina Centre shopping center. The existing
lighting is high pressure sodium and the proposed lighting
for the outparcel is metal halide. Although both are
recognized by the City's Comprehensive Plan as being energy
efficient sources of illumination, high pressure sodium
emits an orange hue of light whereas the metal halide emits
a bright, white light. It is felt that the type of lighting
proposed for the McDonald's outparcel should be compatible
with the existing lighting scheme.
7. Required setbacks and other open spaces.
As outlined in the Building Department memo, there is a
slight encroachment of the building overhang into the
front setback. In all other cases, the proposed building
setbacks exceed the requirements of the C-3 zoning
regulations.
8. General compatibility with adjacent properties, and other
properties in the zoning district.
The proposed use of the outparcel would be compatible with
other uses in the shopping center and other properties in
the vicinity. At this time, it is not certain whether the
proposed drive-through restaurant will result in the creation
of any adverse impacts to the nearest residentially
zoned property in the vicinity, the undeveloped portion of
the Congress Lakes PUD, lying directly north and west of the
Catalina Centre. Noise associated with drive-through
speakers, and cooking odors will generated by the
proposed drive-through facility. Therefore, at this time, it
cannot be concluded whether the proposed drive-through
restaurant is generally compatible with adjacent properties,
as the property to the north is currently undeveloped.
9. Height of buildings and structures, with reference to
compatibility and harmony with 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.
10. Economic effects on adjacent properties and the City as
a whole.
'It is not anticipated that the proposed drive-through
facility would have an adverse impact on property values in
the vicinity, or would impair the developability of these
properties.
Comprehensive Plan Policies: The following Comprehensive Plan
policies are relevant to this Conditional Use application:
"Provide a suitable living environment in all
neighborhoods." (p.7)
"Provide a range of land use types to accomodate a full
range of services and activities." (p.7)
"Eliminate existing and potential land use conflicts."
(p.7)
"Encourage the development of complementary land uses."
(p.7)
"Encourage the development of commercial land uses where
accessibility is the greatest and where impacts to
residential uses are minimized." (p.7)
-6-
Conclusions/Recommendations: The Planning Department recommends
that this Conditional Use application be denied as submitted due
primarily to the problems with ingress and egress, fire service,
lack of a reserved parking area adjacent to the drive-through
window, several code violations related to building and parking
layout as previously discussed in this report, and the City
Commission's desire not to locate drive-through facilities in a
manner whereby they are highly visible from a public
thoroughfare. This policy has been upheld by the Commission with
approval of the Arby's drive-through at Oakwood Square on
Congress Avenue and the McDonald's drive-through on South Federal
Highway. In addition, concerns have been raised by the Community
Appearance Board and City Commission with respect to the
architecture and aesthetics of buildings designed with their rear
facade facing a public thoroughfare. (This issue was raised with
the Marie Callender's Restaurant approval at Catalina Centre Plat
No.1.) McDonald's is also proposing a similar situation with
the front of their building proposed on the north side.
It should be noted however, that the proposed use of the leased
outparcel at the Catalina Centre shopping center would be
compatible with the surrounding area and would be consistent with
Comprehensive Plan policies. If it is the desire of the City
Commission to approve this conditional use request, the Planning
Department recommends that the traffic circulation be redesigned
and reviewed by the Technical Review Board and that the
drive-through windows be relocated. It is also recommended that
any approval be subject to the attached staff comments.

Re: 4/25/88 Submittal To City
Don Jaeger, Building Department comments:
1. The proposed structure does not encroach into the front setback.
2. The Boynton Beach sign ordinance will be followed.
3. The handicap striping has been drawn on the plans.
4. The community appearance board should note that the trash corral
area has:
- 8' high, architecturally designed walks
- Solid, decorative front doors facing north for easy access
- A pedestrian entrance separate from the gate entrance, so
that the main doors remain closed until pickup
- Substantial landscaping on Congress Avenue
- 44' street setback
W.D. Cavanaugh, Fire Department comments:
1. The building will have access through the drive-thru lane,
varying from 12' to 18' in width. The building has automatic
Ansul fire protection systems in the kitchen per NFPA codes.
The building ;s less than 5000 square feet, and the building
does not require fire sprinklers. Based on our meeting, the
building will not receive the additional fire sprinklers in
the non-kitchen areas.
John Guidry, Director of Utilities comments:
1. The overhang at the drive-thru windows does not extend into
the utility easements.
2. Maintenance activities in the utility easement are understood
to affect drive-thru operations.
3. The sewage air release valves are to be relocated per the plan
Lt. Dale S. Hammack, Police Department comments:
1. The drive-thru configuration has been improved with the re-design
and right turn only lane.
Robert Eichorst, Acting Director Of Public Works comments:
1. The trash corral/dumpster area allows maximum freedom to make
trash pickup, is 8' high to conceal all interior items, is land-
scaped, and has a separate pedestrian access to avoid having the
main doors open.
