Ordinances for Land Use Element Amendment & Rezoning
The above-referenced item, originally advertised for Second Reading
at the July 18, 1995 City Commission meeting, is on the table for ~he
November 7, 1995 City Commission meeting.
DESCRIPTION: As summarized in the previous memorandum for this item,
at the July 5, 1995 City Commission meeting, first reading of the
ordinances occurred to reclassify and rezone property acquired/
extracted by the Lake Worth Christian School from the adjacent Cedar
Ridge Estates Planned Unit Development (PUD). You will also recall
that as a condition of these requests, the applicant is to submit to
staff for review. and processing a Unity of Title form, an abandonment
application to extinguish right-of-way existing within the PUD, an
agreement between the School and the developer of the PUD to
facilitate maintenance access through the PUD, and an agreement to
approve the use by the School of a drainage area wi thin the PUD .
Despite staff's frequent reminders to the applicant to submit this
drainage agreement, this document has still not been received due to
delay in its review by representatives of Cedar Ridge Estates.
RECOMMENDATION: The city attorney has determined that readvertising
is necessary since this item has been tabled multiple times and was
last advertised for the July 5, 1995 meeting. Therefore, it is
recommended that the Commission take this item off the table and
delete it from the agenda. Once all documents have been received, it
will be readvertised and reappear before the Commission as an agenda
item. The applicant may have to start the process over again
depending on how much longer it is before the outstanding items are
received.

Despite staff's request for this drainage agreement by the September
19th City Commission meeting, this document has still not been
received. Staff continues to contact the applicant regularly, and is
assured by the applicant that a draft document has been generated, and
that its processing has been delayed in its review by representatives
of Cedar Ridge Estates.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff contacted the applicant yesterday morning to
find out a date certain ~hat the applicant would be able to provide
the draft drainage agreement to the city. As of 1: 00 p.m. on the date
of this memorandum, we have not yet heard from the applicant. There
is concern that this item cannot be tabled without readvertising
(readvertising to include a date certain for the public hearing
necessary for second reading) which as a result of recent changes to
state law is costly and should be a cost borne by the applicant~ If
it is determined that readvertising is not necessary, it is
recommended that this item be tabled again to the next meeting.
Hopefully at the Commission meeting staff will be able to indicate
when the applicant will have the necessary document for staff to
review.

Ordinances for Future Land Use plan Amendment and
Rezoning
Please place the above-referenced items on the July 5, 1995 city
Commission meeting agenda under Legal - Ordinances, First Reading.
DESCRIPTION: You will recall that 6.2 acres of the original Cedar
Ridge Estates Planned Unit Development (PUD) have been acquired by
the Lake Worth Christian School, who is now requesting that this
property be reclassified and rezoned to Public and Private
Governmental/Institutional and R-1AA (Single Family Residential),
respectively.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Department recommends that
these Ordinances be approved; however, based on the following
conditions: 1) acceptance of an abandonment application for the
right-of-way remaining (from the PUD) on the subject property; 2)
submission of agreements between the School and the developer of
the PUD which address use of the drainage area within the PUD and
specifically reservation of capacity to serve the build-out needs
of the PUD, and maintenance access through the PUD for servicing
the recreation area; and 3) showing unity of title through
appropriate documentation. The applicant has consented to these
conditions, and to submitting the respective documentation to the
Planning and Zoning Department by July 7, 1995.

ANALYSIS PURSUANT TO SEC. 9.C.7 OF CH. 2. LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
This section of the Land Development Regulations requires the
evaluation of plan amendment/rezoning requests against criteria
related to the impacts which would result from the approval of such
requests. These criteria and an evaluation of the impacts which could
result from development of the property are as follows:
7.a. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies.. .".
Although the Future Land Use Plan is proposed to be amended, the
request is generally consistent with comprehensive plan objectives and
policies, in part, due to compatibility of the proposed land use
classification with adjacent land uses. For example, Objective 1.17
below is typically referenced when residential uses are adjacent to,
and potentially impacted by property proposed to be reclassified.
Obiective 1.17 - "Minimize nuisances, hazards, and other adverse
impacts. ..to residential environments by preventing or minimizing
land use conflicts."
In general, this proposed amendment represents the replacement of
residentially classified property (for single family homes) located
immediately adjacent to the S.A.L. Railroad right-of-way, with
property classified as Public & Private Governmental/Institutional.
The single family home portion of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD would
become more protected from nuisances, hazards and negative impacts
associated with adjacency to the railroad and I-95 rights-of-way by
separation from these rights-of-way resulting from the school's
recreation uses. Although several of these single family homes are on
the periphery of revised PUD boundary, and as a consequence of the
amendment, would now be adjacent to active recreation facilities
rather than other single family homes, the overall effect is a net
positive change given the increased distance between single family
lots and the railroad and 1-95 corridors. Most recreation uses are
generally compatible with residential uses, and any potential
nuisances or hazards anticipated from the active recreation facilities
(e.g. noise, lighting, traffic, etc.) would be addressed/mitigated
during the site plan review process.
Lastly, although there are no Comprehen,::i."o Pl.:or' =--I'\H,:,~"",:, that
specifically promote the provision of recreation facilities within
private schools, this proposed expansion of the school's recreation
facilities is consistent with the overall goal of the Recreation &
Open Space Element, which is partially shown below.
Goal #5 - "provide adequate open space and recreational
facilities and programs to meet the needs of present and future
residents... .11
The folloWing additional objectives, policies, and issues addressed
below are either typically referenced by the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA), or required by them to be analyzed in the
review of proposed amendments:
Memo No. 95-268
-4-
June 9, 1995
extraction of the subject property from the PUD, making it available
to the Lake Worth Christian School.
7.d. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with
utility systems, roadways, and other public facilities."
Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 9J-l1 also requires that the
availability of public facilities be analyzed in connection with a
proposed amendment to a comprehensive plan, and that the maximum
potential demand upon public facilities be determined. The fOllowing
facilities were analyzed in order to ensure that capacity is
available:
Roads: Although Palm Beach County has not completed its review of the
traffic analysis, it appears that the traffic impact analysis reviewed
not only use of the subject property, but traffic impact anticipated
from the School's proposed master plan (as a site-specific rezoning).
Since the study references 382 additional trips per day to be
generated by a 350 student expansion of an elementary and middle
school, it is unclear whether the additional outdoor recreation
facilities, additional school bUildings and auditorium were evaluated.
The traffic analysis concluded that traffic to be generated from the
master plan would not exceed established levels of service of impacted
road segments, and would comply with requirements of the Palm Beach
County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Therefore, traffic
concurrency certification will be limited to an additional 382 trips
per day and is subject to any comments from Palm Beach County.
Water/Sewer: The City'S utility Department reviewed the proposed
amendment and indicated that water and sewer capacities are available
to serve the minimal demands of the proposed recreation uses.
However, they recommend that a fire flow test be conducted in order to
determine if the flow requirement for institutional uses, 1,500
gallons per minute (gpm), can be met. In comparison, the fire flow
requirement for residential uses is 500 gpm;
Solid Waste: The Solid Waste Authority reviewed this request and does
not object to the proposed amendment as ample capacity exists to serve
the future solid waste collection and disposal needs generated on this
site;
Drainage: The analysis of the proposed amendment by the Lake Worth
Drainage District indicated that the subject area is not within the
service area of the Lake Worth Drainage District; and
Recreation: Not applicable/No impact.
7.f. "Whether the property is physically and economically
developable under the eXisting zoning.";
When the subject property was extracted from the Cedar Ridge Estates
PUD, the property became undevelopable as zoned, since there no longer
existed a corresponding master plan (planned unit development zoning
requires a master plan for zoning approval). Furthermore, the subject
property became land-locked by loss of direct access to High h~~~~
Road as a result of the separation from the PUD master plan, with the
intent that access would be provided through the school property, once
assembled with it.
7.g. "Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is
reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the city
as a whole."
With respect to scale, the proposed amendment and use are consistent
with the eXisting and future use of adjacent properties. Furthermore,
given the confined location of this property, its pro*imity to the
adjacent railroad and I-95 rights-of-way, and since it represents only
a minimal 11 unit decrease in planned housing units, the proposed
Memo No. 95-268
-6-
June 9, 1995
6) Consideration shall be give to redesign of the area, or
reorientation of the future elementary school in order to avoid
the necessity for children to cross the parking area in accessing
other recreation facilities;
7) The site plan is deficient of many details or criteria as
required in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4, Site
Plan Review. A few of the deficiencies indicated by staff
include utility easement locations, bUilding elevations,
indication of compliance with Handicap Code and fire separation
requirements, and the lack of parking space counts and
identification of parking facilities intended to serve all
recreation elements, and particularly the pool and southern ball
field;
8) That portion of the roadway that was dedicated to the pUblic
with recordation of the 1983 plat of Cedar Ridge Estates, but now
planned for school use shall be abandoned, and the unity of title
process completed in order to properly assemble the existing
school property with the subject property. These applications
and documents shall be submitted prior to adoption of the
rezoning ordinance;
9) The agreements to be established between the developer of
Cedar Ridge Estates and the Lake Worth Christian School, which
address drainage (the use by the School of the retention area
within the pun and determination that drainage capacity to serve
the entire residential project will be maintained despite use of
the retention area by the school) and maintenance access (for the
school through Cedar Ridge Estates) shall be finalized for review
by staff and the City Attorney prior to adoption of the rezoning
ordinance;
10) It is recommended that the subject property be replatted to
vacate the blocks, lots, easements and public rights-of-way that
were established by the 1983 Cedar Ridge Estates plat. At
minimum, the abandonment of the public right-of-way referenced in
comment 8 above shall be completed.
11) At time of site plan review, traffic shall be re-evaluated
to determine whether additional traffic, above the 382 daily
trips per day certified with this land use amendment and
rezoning, will be generated based on the specifics of the site
plan submittal.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Department recommends that the applications
submitted by J. Richard Harris and the Lake Worth Christian School
Society, Inc., be approved, based on the following:
1. The proposed amendment and zoning would be consistent with
Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies;
2. The proposed amendment would not be contrary to the established
land use pattern, nor would it create an isolated district
unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, and nor would it
constitute a grant of speCial privilege to an individual property
owner;
3. The requested land use and zoning would be compatible with
capacities of utility systems, roadways, and other public
facilities;
4. The proposed land use and zoning would be compatible with the
current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties and,
would not affect the property values of adjacent ~r nearby
properties;

THRU: Tambri J. Heyden, Planning and Zoning Director I)~
FROM: Michael W. Rumpf, Senior Planner
DATE: June 9, 1995
SUBJECT: Lake Worth Christian School - LUAR #95-002
Request for Land Use Amendment/Rezoning
INTRODUCTION
J. Richard Harris, agent for the Lake Worth Christian school Society,
Inc. is requesting that 6.4 acres of vacant property located adjacent
to the south and east of the Lake Worth Christian School on High Ridge
Road (see location map in Attachment "A") be rezoned and that the
Future Land Use Plan designation be amended. The current land use and
zoning on this property is Low Density Residential and PUD (Planned
Unit Development), respectively. To prepare this property for use by
the school, the applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned
to R-1AA, Single Family Residential, and the Future Land Use Map
designation be changed to Public & Private Governmental/Institutional.
HISTORY
In February of this year, a master plan modification was approved for
the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD, located immediately south of the Lake
Worth Christian School. Part of the master plan modification request
included deletion of the subject property from the PUD (see approved
master plan modification in Attachment liB"). Approval of the master
plan modification was subject to rezoning of the subject property from
PUD to an appropriate zoning district for assembling the property with
the school property to the north for expansion of the school's
facilities (see conceptual master plan for school expansion -
Attachment "C"). The subject property was acquired at the beginning
of the year by Condor Investments of Palm Beach County, Inc., owner of
the school property and developer of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD and
leased to Lake Worth Christian School Society, Inc. This request will
rezone and reclassify the SUbject property consistent with the
remainder of the school property.
LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS
Since this application meets the criteria necessary for processing as
a small-scale amendment, the application will be transmitted to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) follOWing the adoption
of ordinances. This request will be transmitted to the DCA as an
adopted comprehensive plan amendment, and will follow DCAls
abbreviated review schedule. However, the amendment will not be
official until approximately 15 days follOWing finding of compliance
by the DCA. The entire review process (by DCA) will reqUire
approximately five (5) months to complete.
The follOWing analysis is provided pursuant to the city's code of
ordinances (Part III-Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section
9), and FIc:-:.=.:. :;::; :.-:::. -::'~.l :;:-':;3P~Ct to the transmittal ana l-ev1ew of
small-scale land use plan amendments. This analY8is will focus
primarily on consistency with the City's comprehensive plan
objectives, policies and text, and compatibility of the proposed
amendment with adjacent properties.
ADJACENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The land use and zoning in the surrounding area varies and is
presented in the table below (as the SUbject property is irregularly

ANALYSIS PURSUANT TO SEC. 9.C.7 OF CH. 2. LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
This section of the Land Development Regulations requires the
evaluation of plan amendment/rezoning requests against criteria
related to the impacts which would result from the approval of such
requests. These criteria and an evaluation of the impacts which could
result from development of the property are as follows:
7.a. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies.. .".
Although the Future Land Use Plan is proposed to be amended, the
request is generally consistent with comprehensive plan objectives and
policies, in part, due to compatibility of the proposed land use
classification with adjacent land uses. For example, Objective 1.17
below is typically referenced when residential uses are adjacent to,
and potentially impacted by property proposed to be reclassified.
Ob;ective 1.17 - "Minimize nuisances, hazards, and other adverse
impacts. ..to residential environments by preventing or minimizing
land use conflicts.1I
In general, this proposed amendment represents the replacement of
residentially classified property (for single family homes) located
immediately adjacent to the S.A.L. Railroad right-of-way, with
property classified as Public & Private Governmental/Institutional.
The single family home portion of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD would
become more protected from nuisances, hazards and negative impacts
associated with adjacency to the railroad and I-95 rights-of-way by
separation from these rights-of-way resulting from the school's
recreation uses. Although several of these single family homes are on
the periphery of revised pun boundary, and as a consequence of the
amendment, would now be adjacent to active recreation facilities
rather than other single family homes, the overall effect is a net
positive change given the increased distance between single family
lots and the railroad and 1-95 corridors. Most recreation uses are
generally compatible with residential uses, and any potential
nuisances or hazards anticipated from the active recreation facilities
(e.g. noise, lighting, traffic, etc.) would be addressed/mitigated
during the site plan review process.
Lastly, although there are no Comprehen~i"Q l)'~1"\ =,,,,1i"'~e~ that
specifically promote the provision of recreation facilities within
private schools, this proposed expansion of the school's recreation
facilities is consistent with the overall goal of the Recreation &
Open Space Element, which is partially shown below.
Goal #5 - "Provide adequate open space and recreational
facilities and programs to meet the needs of present and future
residents... ."
The following additional objectives, policies, and issues addressed
below are either typically referenced by the Florida DBpartment of
Community Affairs (DCA), or required by them to be analyzed in the
review of proposed amendments:

Obiective 1.2 - "Coordinate future land uses with soil conditions
so that urban land uses are prohibited in locations where it is
not economical to remove or treat unsuitable soils.. ."; and
Policv 1.2.1 - ".. .prohibit development of urban land uses where
the removal or treatment of unsuitable soils would be
uneconomical, provide that unstable soils shall be removed in all
construction and land development sites where soils would affect
the performance of infrastructure, drainage. ..".
No extreme soil conditions are known to be characteristic of this
property; however, this site is small and physically typical of
adjacent, developed properties. Furthermore, policies such as those
above will ensure the use of proper development techniques reviewed
during the site plan process.
Obiective 4.4 - "The City shall,.. .protect all remaining areas of
substantial native upland and wetland vegetation and eliminate
undesirable exotic tree species.";
Policy 4.4.1 - ".. .the City shall require. ..a detailed flora and
fauna survey on any "B or C" rated site...; and
Policy 1.11.14 - ".. .provide for open space preservation by
requiring the preservation of 25% of all "A", "B", and "C" rated
sites...".
These policies are not applicable as this property is not recognized
by the comprehensive plan as having any environmentally sensitive
characteristics preserved through application of comprehensive plan
policies.
Obiective 1.11 - ".. . future land uses shall include provisions
for the protection of.. . archaeological resources and historic
buildings...".
The City's comprehensive plan requires that historical resources and
archaeological sites be preserved and protected. However, the
subject property is undeveloped and there are no archaeological
amenities known to exist on this site.
7.b. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the
established land use pattern, or would create an isolated
district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, or would
constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property
owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare;
and
7.e. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with
current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties, or
would affect the property values of adjacent properties.".
The proposed reclassification, rezoning, and use of the subject
property would provide for the expansion of an eXisting use (the Lake
Worth Christian School) which is consistent with the established land
use pattern within the aTP~. ~~ wo" ~~ M~~~ the current and future
uses of adjacent and nearby properties. Furthermore, in addition to
being generally compatible with adjacent residential properties, the
proposed use may be more preferable over residential use at this
location, given the proximity of the property to .the S.A.L. Railroad
and I-95 rights-of-way.
7.c. "Whether Changed or changing conditions make the proposed
rezoning desirable."
If there are any changed conditions or circumstances which have
motivated this request (and potentially make the reclassification and
rezoning desirable or justified), they would include the modification
to the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD master plan which included the
Memo No. 95-268
-4-
June 9, 1995
extraction of the subject property from the PUD, making it available
to the Lake Worth Christian School.
7.d. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with
utility systems, roadways, and other public facilities."
Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 9J-l1 also requires that the
availability of public facilities be analyzed in connection with a
proposed amendment to a comprehensive plan, and that the maximum
potential demand upon public facilities be determined. The following
facilities were analyzed in order to ensure that capacity is
available:
Roads: Although Palm Beach County has not completed its review of the
traffic analysis, it appears that the traffic impact analysis reviewed
not only use of the subject property, but traffic impact anticipated
from the School's proposed master plan (as a site-specific rezoning).
Since the study references 382 additional trips per day to be
generated by a 350 student expansion of an elementary and middle
school, it is unclear whether the additional outdoor recreation
facilities, additional school buildings and auditorium were evaluated.
The traffic analysis concluded that traffic to be generated from the
master plan would not exceed established levels of service of impacted
road segments, and would comply with requirements of the Palm Beach
County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Therefore, traffic
concurrency certification will be limited to an additional 382 trips
per day and is subject to any comments from Palm Beach County.
Water/Sewer: The.City's utility Department reviewed the proposed
amendment and indicated that water and sewer capacities are available
to serve the minimal demands of the proposed recreation uses.
However, they recommend that a fire flow test be conducted in order to
determine if the flow requirement for institutional uses, 1,500
gallons per minute (gpm), can be met. In comparison, the fire flow
requirement for residential uses is 500 gpm;
Solid Waste: The Solid Waste Authority reviewed this request and does
not object to the proposed amendment as ample capacity exists to serve
the future solid waste collection and disposal needs generated on this
site;
Drainage: The analysis of the proposed amendment by the Lake Worth
Drainage District indicated that the subject area is not within the
service area of the Lake Worth Drainage District; and
Recreation: Not applicable/No impact.
7.f. "Whether the property is physically and economically
developable under the existing zoning.";
When the subject property was extractetl from the Cedar Ridge Estates
PUD, the property became undevelopable as zoned, since there no longer
existed a corresponding master plan (planned unit development zoning
reqUires a master plan for zoning approval). Furthermore, the subject
property became land-locked by loss of direct access to High Ri~;~
Road as a result of the separation from the PUD master plan, with the
intent that access would be prOVided through the school property, once
assembled with it.
7.g. "Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is
reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the city
as a whole."
With respect to scale, the proposed amendment and use are consistent
with the existing and future use of adjacent properties. Furthermore,
given the confined location of this property, its prox-imi ty to the
adjacent railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way, and since it represents only
a minimal 11 unit decrease in planned housing units, the proposed
~..,
~
...,
Memo No. 95-268
-5-
June 9, 1995
amendment is arguably unrelated to the function of the city as a whole
and the projected need for available housing units (since the
amendment would reduce the land available for residential use).
7.h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for
the proposed use, in districts where such use is already allowed.
There are several zoning districts that allow schools as a permitted
use. However, this request is for expansion of an adjacent school and
not location of a new school site. Therefore, selection of vacant
property adjacent to the school that is suitable for expansion of the
school facilities is the relevant issue. Schools are ideally located
and are encouraged in residential areas. The suggestion that a new
school location is necessary in order for the school to expand is
contrary to the objective of locating schools within residential
areas.
REVIEW OF "CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN"
The Lake Worth Christian School Society, Inc. plans for expansion
include addition of an elementary school, an auditorium, and
renovation and addition of recreation facilities. The acquisition of
the subject property has advanced their plans, which are now in a
conceptual master plan form. The Society included a copy of this
conceptual master plan with the subject application for courtesy
review by staff to identify and address any problems early in the
school's expansion process and to better analyze with this rezoning
any potential impacts upon the adjacent, planned residential
development. The plan was also used to evaluate traffic impacts
associated with the request.
The conceptual master plan was reviewed by the Technical Review
Committee and Joe Basil, the developer of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD.
The more significant comments relative to emergency service/access,
circulation, location of utilities, and impact on the planned
residential community are itemized below. Complete comments will be
generated at time of formal site plan submittal:
1) The southern ball field is oriented with those areas of the
ball field which tend to generate the most noise, light and
activity immediately adjacent to the planned single family homes
of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD (it should be noted that although
staff would suggest that the ball field be reoriented to maximize
the distances between the planned homes and the active areas of
the ball fields, Mr. Basil has indicated that the buyers of the
adjacent lots intentionally selected those locations for their
proximity to the recreation areas of the school, and redesign of
the recreation facilities may consequently place less desirable
elements adjacent to the residential development, and redirect
ball field lighting toward the planned single family homes);
2) The swimming pool should be relocated in close proximity to
the existing or planned road system in order to facilitate
efficient emergency access;
3) Properly engineered design techniques which are both
aesthetic and safe for the adjacent resinAnt.R wi" hQ necessary
between the south ball field and residential community to address
the Significantly higher elevation of this portion of the planned
unit development;
4) If the ball fields are to be fenced in,ut1lity lines should
be placed outside of the fenced areas to maximize accessibility
to utility lines for maintenance needs, and to avoid unnecessary
damage to ball fields when the lines must be accessed;
5) If sanitary sewer lines remain within fenced areas,
consideration should be given to the use of a mo~e durable
material than clay;
Memo No. 95-268
-6-
June 9, 1995
6) Consideration shall be give to redesign of the area, or
reorientation of the future elementary school in order to avoid
the necessity for children to cross the parking area in accessing
other recreation facilities;
7) The site plan is deficient of many details or criteria as
required in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4, Site
Plan Review. A few of the deficiencies indicated by staff
include utility easement locations, building elevations,
indication of compliance with Handicap Code and fire separation
requirements, and the lack of parking space counts and
identification of parking facilities intended to serve all
recreation elements, and particularly the pool and southern ball
field;
8) That portion of the roadway that was dedicated to the public
with recordation of the 1983 plat of Cedar Ridge Estates, but now
planned for school use shall be abandoned, and the unity of title
process completed in order to properly assemble the existing
school property with the subject property. These applications
and documents shall be submitted prior to adoption of the
rezoning ordinance;
9) The agreements to be established between the developer of
Cedar Ridge Estates and the Lake Worth Christian School, which
address drainage (the use by the School of the retention area
within the PUD and determination that drainage capacity to serve
the entire residential project will be maintained despite use of
the retention area by the school) and maintenance access (for the
school through Cedar Ridge Estates) shall be finalized for review
by staff and the city Attorney prior to adoption of the rezoning
ordinance;
10) It is recommended that the subject property be replatted to
vacate the blocks, lots, easements and public rights-of-way that
were established by the 1983 Cedar Ridge Estates plat. At
minimum, the abandonment of the public right-of-way referenced in
comment 8 above shall be completed.
11) At time of site plan review, traffic shall be re-evaluated
to determine whether additional traffic, above the 382 daily
trips per day certified with this land use amendment and
rezoning, will be generated based on the specifics of the site
plan submittal.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Department recommends that the applications
submitted by J. Richard Harris and the Lake Worth Christian School
Society, Inc., be approved, based on the following:
1. The proposed amendment and zoning would be consistent with
Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies;
2, The proposed amendment would not be contrary to the established
land use pattern, nor would it create an isolated district
unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, and nor would it
constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property
owner;
3. The requested land use and zoning would be compatible with
capacities of utility systems, roadways, and other public
facilities;
4. The proposed land use and zoning would be compatible with the
current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties and,
would not affect the property values of adjacent ~r nearby
properties;
~
...,
Memo No. 95-268
-7-
June 9, 1995
5. The proposed land use and zoning are of a scale which is
reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the city
as a wholei and
6. The proposed land use and zoning are consistent with the
classification and zoning currently in place on the eXisting
school site.
7. The proposed land use and zoning satisfy the February 1995
conditions of the Cedar Ridge Estates master plan modification
approval.
staff recommends that approval of these requests be conditioned upon
compliance with any comments received from Palm Beach County regarding
the traffic study, acceptance of the abandonment application and
receipt of all agreements referenced in the staff comments abov.e,
prior to formal adoption of the rezoning ordinance and incorporation
of the staff comments listed above in the school's future site plan
submittal.
Note: Due to the applicant's request for two months postponement
of this request and insufficient notice given to staff to
readvertise this request for June 13th and 20th public hearings
before the Planning and Development Board and City Commission,
respectively, the applicant assumes all risk of any claim of
improper notification.

FROM: Michael W. Rumpf, Senior Planner
DATE: June 9, 1995
SUBJECT: Lake Worth Christian School - LUAR #95-002
Request for Land Use Amendment/Rezoning
INTRODUCTION
J. Richard Harris, agent for the Lake Worth Christian School Society,
Inc. is requesting that 6.4 acres of vacant property located adjacent
to the south and east of the Lake Worth Christian School on High Ridge
Road see oc ~ zoned and that the
Future Land Use Plan designation be amended. The curr land use and
zoning on this property is Low Density Residential and PUD (Planned
Unit".~~velopment), respectively. To prepare this property for use by
the~nool, the applicant is requesting that the property e rezoned
to R-1AA, Single Family Residential, and the Future Lan Use Map
designation be changed to Public & Private Governmenta ~I~stitutional.
tAJ.~ ~ G.4. ~4 ~I~
HISTORY ~
In February of this year, a master plan modification was approved for
the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD, located immediately south of the Lake
Worth Christian School. par~ ~;,~~~:m~~r plan modification request
included deletion of the sub1gct~~~e~~f from the PUD (see approved
master plan modification in Attachment "B"). Approval of the master
plan modification was subject to rezoning of the subject property from
PUD to an appropriate zoning district for assembling the property with
the school property to the north for expansion of the school's
facilities (see conceptual master plan for school expansion -
Attachment "CII). The subject property was acquired at the beginning
of the year by Condor Investments of Palm Beach County, Inc., owner of
the school property and developer of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD and
leased to Lake Worth Christian School Society, Inc. This request will
rezone and reclassify the subject property consistent with the
remainder of the school property.
LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS
Since this application meets the criteria necessary for processing as
a small-scale amendment, the application will be transmitted to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) following the adoption
of ordinances. This request will be transmitted to the DCA as an
adopted comprehensive plan amendment, and will follow DCA's
abbreviated review schedule. However, the amendment will not be
official until approximately 15 days following finding of compliance
by the DCA. The entire review process (by DCA) will require
approximately five (5) months to complete.
The following analysis is provided pursuant to the city's code of
ordinances (Part III-Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section
9), and Florida law with respect to the tran~~it~~~ ~~= ~2~i~~ of
small-scale land use plan amendments. This analysis will focus
primarily on consistency with the city's comprehensive plan
objectives, policies and text, and compatibility of the proposed
amendment with adjacent properties.
ADJACENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The land use and zoning in the surrounding area varies and is

ANALYSIS ~ TO SEC. 9.C.7 OF CH. 2. LAND DEVELO~LATIONS
This section of the Land Development Regulations requires the
evaluation of plan amendment/rezoning requests against criteria
related to the impacts which would result from the approval of such
requests. These criteria and an evaluation of the impacts which could
re_~!~~~v~e~~}llt.property are as follows:
-rk ~.s~'whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies.. .".
Although the Future Land Use Plan is proposed to be amended, the
request is generally consistent with comprehensive plan objectives and
policies, in part, due to compatibility of the proposed land use
classification with adjacent land uses. For example, Objective 1.17
below is typically referenced when residential uses are adjacent to,
and potentially impact. ed 9,Y pro~~.rtl proposed to be r. e.cI~.~!fied.
Jk~4~.IJ~~PiA~'~
Obi ecti ve 1.17,..., "M~nimize nuisance'Sl? tiJzards, ~and other adverse
impacts. ..to residential environments by preventing or minimizing
land use conflicts."
In general, this proposed amendment represents the replacement of
residentially classified property (for single family homes) located
immediately adjacent to the S.A.L. Railroad right-of-way, with
property classified as Public & Private Governmental/Institutional.
~ The single family home portion of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD would
become more protected from nuisances, hazards and negative impacts
associated with adjacency to the railroad and I-95 rights-of-way by
separation from these rights-of-way resulting from the school's
recreation uses. Although several of these single family homes are on
the periphery of revised PUD boundary, and as a consequence of the
amendment, would now be adjacent to active recreation facilities
rather than other single family homes, the overall effect is a net
positive change given the increased distance between single family
lots and the railroad and I-95 corridors. Most recreation uses are
generally compatible with residential uses, and any potential
nuisances or hazards anticipated from the active recreation facilities
~. . (e..g. nOisei:. lighting, traffic, etc.) would be addressed/mitigated
~. ring~~~~!.it~ ~lan ~ev~ew process.
l>1' ~----~! ~~sPn-..
Lastly, although there are no Comprehensive Plan policies that
specifically promote the provision of recreation facilities within
private schools, this proposed expansion of the school's recreation
facilities is consistent with the overall goal of the Recreation &
Open Space Element, which is partially shown below.
Goal #5 - "Provide adequate open space and recreational
facilities and programs to meet the needs of present and future
residents... ."
The following additional objectives, policies, and issues addressed
below are either typically referenced by the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA), or required by them to be analyzed in the
review of proposed amendments:
~

Memo No. 95-268

June 9, 1995
Obiective 1.2 - "Coordinate future land uses with soil conditions
so that urban land uses are prohibited in locations where it is
not economical to remove or treat unsuitable soils.. ."; and
policv 1.2.1 - ".. .prohibit development of urban land uses where
the removal or treatment of unsuitable soils would be
uneconomical, provide that unstable soils shall be removed in all
construction and land development sites where soils would affect
the performance of infrastructure, drainage. ..11.
No extreme soil conditions are known to be characteristic of this
property; however, this site is small and physically typical of
adjacent, developed properties. Furthermore, policies such as those
above will ensure the use of proper development techniques reviewed
during the site plan process.
Obiective 4.4 - "The city shall,.. .protect all remaining areas of
substantial native upland and wetland vegetation and eliminate
undesirable exotic tree species.";
Policy 4.4.1 - ".. .the city shall require...a detailed flora and
fauna survey on any liB or CII rated site...; and
Policy 1.11.14 - ".. .provide for open space preservation by
requiring the preservation of 25% of all IIAII, liB", and "CII rated
sites. ..".
These policies are not applicable as this property is not recognized
by the comprehensive plan as having any environmentally sensitive
characteristics preserved through application of comprehensive plan
policies.
Obiective 1.11 - ".. . future land uses shall include provisions
for the protection of.. . archaeological resources and historic
buildings...II.
The city's comprehensive plan requires that historical resources and
archaeological sites be preserved and protected. However, the
subject property is undeveloped and there are no archaeological
amenities known to exist on this site.
/1:, \y 0 . e~~~'~. b. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the
.\~- /yJ{\ established land use pattern, or would create an isolated
L,~~r 6~1 v district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, or would
n~~oJvl- constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property
~t owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare;
and ~..
7.e. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with
current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties, or
would affect the property values of adjacent properties.".
~ ;5
The proposed reclassifica~Oning, and use of the subject
property would provide for the expansion of an existing use (the Lake
Worth Christian School) which i-s cOl1o:sist~uL with 'tile Q&t.blished laBd-
_t1c::e ElatLffn within the area, as well as with the current and fl.t~~;:
uses of adjacent and nearby pro~~ties. Furthermore, in additio~ to
being generally compatible with jacent residential properties~ the
proposed use may be more preferable over residential use at this
location, given the proximity of the property to the S.A.L. Railroad
and I-95 rights-of-way.
7.c. IIWhether changed or changing conditions make the proposed
rezoning desirable."
If there are any changed conditions or circumstances which have
motivated this request (and potentially make the reclassification and
rezoning desirable or justified), they would include the modification
to the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD master plan which included the
Memo No. 95-268
-4-
June 9, 1995
extraction of the subject property from the PUD, making it available
to the Lake Worth Christian school.
~7.d. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatibiihwith
utility systems, roadways, and other public facilities."
Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 9J-11 also requires that the
availability of public facilities be analyzed in connection with a
proposed amendment to a comprehensive plan, and that the maximum
potential demand upon public facilities be determined. The following
facilities were analyzed in order to ensure that capacity is
avail able,: , /J.. ....Hr. -.. t _ -.L.. ~~ fUO. ,/).
~ . ~ ~.Jj(IUlI.. 3e ~r- TV ~
Roads: Although Palm Beach countyHras not completed its review of the
traffic analysis, it appears that the traffic impact analysis reviewed
not only use of the subject property, but traffic impact anticipated
from the School's proposed master plan (as a site-speci~}1: rezoning).
Since the study references 382 additional trips per da~fO be
generated by a 350 student expansion of an elementary and middle
schoo~ it is unclear whether the additional outdoor recreation
~ ~ities, additional school buildings and auditorium were evaluated.
110Vr. j;he traffic analysis concluded that traffic to be generated from the
~~ aster plan would not exceed establi,shed levels of service of impacted
~V~j ~oad segments, and would comply with requirements of the Palm Beach
~~-~.ounty Traffic Performance Standards ordinance. Therefore, traffic
C~~ concurrency certification will be limited to an additional 382 trips
~~Q ~per day and is subject to any comments from Palm Beach County.
~o~~~~water/sewer: The City's utility Department reviewed the proposed
~~~mendment and indicated that water and sewer capacities are availab~~
~^~~- to serve the minimal demands of the proposed recreation uses. ~~~~
~ However, they recommend that a fire flow test be conducted in order to
determine if the flow requirement for institutional uses, 1,500
gallons per minute (gpm), can be met. In comparison, the fire flow
I requirement for residen~ial us~s is 500 9pm;.1 A?AAL -~~
Zi~ l-~e.~ ll-V-... NY (~~~{'y^-4_ w/ ~ iY7--.vU.- &--- "---r-""~
v Solid Waste: The-s6lid ~ste Authority reviewed this request and does
not object to the proposed amendment as ample capacity exists to serve
the future solid waste collection and disposal needs generated on this
site;
Drainage: The analysis of the proposed amendment by the Lake Worth
Drainage District indicated that the subject area is not within the
service area of the Lake Worth Drainage District; and
Recreation: Not applicable/No impact.
7.f. "Whether the property is physically and economically
developable under the existing zoning.";
When the subject property was extracted from the Cedar Ridge Estates
PUD, the property became undevelopable as zoned, since there no longer
existed a corresponding master plan (planned unit development zoning
requires a master plan for zoning approval). Furthermore, the subject
oron~l-rv became land-locked by loss of direct access to High Ridge
Road as a result of the separation from the PUD master plan, with the
intent that access would be provided through the school property, once
assembled with it.
7.g. "Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is
reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the city
as a whole."
With respect to scale, the proposed amendment and use are consistent
with the existing and future use of adjacent properties. Furthermore,
given the confined location of this property, its proximity to the
adjacent railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way, and since it represents only
a minimal 11 unit decrease in planned housing units, the proposed
W'
"WI

amendment is arguably unrelated to the function of the city as a whole
and the projected need for available housing units (since the
amendment would reduce the land available for residential use).
7.h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for
the proposed use, in districts where such use is already allowed.
There are several zoning districts that allow schools as a permitted
use. However, this request is for expansion of an adjacent school and
not location of a new school site. Therefore, selection of vacant
property adjacent to the school that is suitable for expansion of the
school facilities is the relevant issue. Schools are ideally located
and are encouraged in residential areas. The suggestion that a new
school location is necessary in order for the school to expand is
contrary to the objective of locating schools within residential

include addition of an elementary school, an auditorium, and ~. ~~
renovation and addition of recreation facilities. The acquisition Of~
the subject property has advanced their plans, which are now in a ~~u
conceptual master plan form. The Society included a copy of this ~~~
conceptual master plan with the subject application for courtesy ~~
review by staff to identify and address any problems early in the j, ~
school's expansion process and to better analyze with this rezoning ~
any potential impacts upon the adjacent, planned residential I(
development. The plan was also used to evaluate traffic impacts ~
associated with the request. ~~
The conceptual master plan was reviewed by the Technical Review ~~
Committee and Joe Basil, the developer of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD. ~
The more significant comments relative to emergency service/access,
circulation, location of utilities, and impact on the planned
residential community are itemized below. Complete comments will be
generated at time of formal site plan submittal:
1) The southern ball field is oriented with those areas of the
ball field which tend to generate the most noise, light and
activity immediately adjacent to the planned single family homes
" ~ of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD (it should be noted that although
~ f staff would suggest that the ball field be reoriented to maximize
r !~~,~ the distances between the planned homes and the active areas of
~~ ~ the ball fields, Mr. Basil has indicated that the buyers of the
~~~J .~adjacent lots intentionally selected those locations for their
(~ .FI ~C~LI proximity to the recreation areas of the school, and redesign of
~ C \ the recreation facilities may consequently place less desirable
_J~\~ ;t4 elements adjacent to the residential development, and redirect
(~~~~ ~~ ball field lighting toward the planned single family homes);
l ) 2) The sWimming pool should be relocated in close proximity to
the existing or planned road system in order to facilitate
efficient emergency access;
(}r...L ~ 3) Properly engineered design techniques which are both
.' ~~ aesthetic and safe for the adjacent residents will be necessary
.~~ ~. between the south ball field and residential community to address
~~. the significantly higher elevation of this portion of the planned
VJ: V->t:'~ unit development;
~~~~~ 4) If the ball fields are to be fenced in, utility lines should
~ ~ be placed outside of the fenced areas to maximize accessibility
i A~ to utility lines for maintenance needs, and to avoid unnecessary
~v- ~JI~G)damage to ball fields when the lines must be accessed;
A' ~ '.~ \tv _./~) If sanitary sewer lines remain wi thin fenced areas,
I)j~ ~~{~ consideration should be given to the use of a more durable

7) The site plan is deficient of many details or criteria as
required in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4, Site
Plan Review. A few of the deficiencies indicated by staff
include utility easement locations, building elevations,
indication of compliance with Handicap Code and fire separation
requirements, and the lack of parking space counts and
identification of parking facilities intended to serve all

within the PUD and determination that drainage capacity to serve
the entire residential project will be maintained despite use of
the retention area by the school) and maintenance access (for the
school through Cedar Ridge Estates) shall be finalized for review
by staff and the City Attorney prior to adoption of the rezoning
ordinance;
10) It is recommended that the subject property be replatted to
vacate the blocks, lots, easements and public rights-of-way that
were established by the 1983 Cedar Ridge Estates plat. At
minimum, the abandonment of the public right-of-way referenced in
comment 8 above shall be completed.
11) At time of site plan review, traffic shall be re-evaluated
to determine whether additional traffic, above the 382 daily
trips per day certified with this land use amendment and
rezoning, will be generated based on the specifics of the site
plan submittal.

Lake Worth Christian School
Land Use Element Amendment/Rezoning
PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 95-268
TO: Chairman and Members, Planning and Development Board
THRU: Tambri J. Heyden, Planning and Zoning Director/~~
FROM: Michael W. Rumpf, Senior Planner
DATE: June 9, 1995
SUBJECT: Lake Worth Christian School - LUAR #95-002
Request for Land Use Amendment/Rezoning
INTRODUCTION
J. Richard Harris, agent for the Lake Worth Christian School Society,
Inc. is requesting that 6.4 acres of vacant property located adjacent
to the south and east of the Lake Worth Christian School on High Ridge
Road (see location map in Attachment "A") be rezoned and that the
Future Land Use Plan designation be amended. The current land use and
zoning on this property is Low Density Residential and PUD (Planned
Unit Development), respectively. To prepare this property for use by
the school, the applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned
to R-1AA, Single Family Residential, and the Future Land Use Map
designation be changed to Public & Private Governmental/Institutional.
HISTORY
In February of this year, a master plan modification was approved for
the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD, located immediately south of the Lake
Worth Christian School. Part of the master plan modification request
included deletion of the subject property from the PUD (see approved
master plan modification in Attachment "B"). Approval of the master
plan modification was subject to rezoning of the subject property from
PUD to an appropriate zoning district for assembling the property with
the school property to the north for expansion of the school's
facilities (see conceptual master plan for school expansion -
Attachment "C"). The subject property was acquired at the beginning
of the year by Condor Investments of Palm Beach County, Inc., owner of
the school property and developer of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD and
leased to Lake worth Christian School Society, Inc. This request will
rezone and reclassify the subject property consistent with the
remainder of the school property.
LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS
Since this application meets the criteria necessary for processing as
a small-scale amendment, the application will be transmitted to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) following the adoption
of ordinances. This request will be transmitted to the DCA as an
adopted comprehensive plan amendment, and will follow DCA's
abbreviated review schedule. However, the amendment will not be
official until approximately 15 days following finding of compliance
by the DCA. The entire review process (by DCA) will require
approximately five (5) months to complete.
The following analysis is provided pursuant to the city's code of
ordinances (Part III-Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section
9), and Florida law with respect to the transmittal and review of
small-scale land use plan amendments. This analysis will focus
primarily on consistency with the City's comprehensive plan
objectives, policies and text, and compatibility of the proposed
amendment with adjacent properties.
ADJACENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The land use and zoning in the surrounding area varies and is
presented in the table below (as the subject property is irregularly
shaped, please refer to the location map for a thorough understanding
of the location of the following identified uses) :

ANALYSIS PURSUANT TO SEC. 9.C.7 OF CH. 2. LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
This section of the Land Development Regulations requires the
evaluation of plan amendment/rezoning requests against criteria
related to the impacts which would result from the approval of such
requests. These criteria and an evaluation of the impacts which could
result from development of the property are as follows:
7.a. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies. ..".
Although the Future Land Use Plan is proposed to be amended, the
request is generally consistent with comprehensive plan objectives and
policies, in part, due to compatibility of the proposed land use
classification with adjacent land uses. For example, Objective 1.17
below is typically referenced when residential uses are adjacent to,
and potentially impacted by property proposed to be reclassified.
Obiective 1.17 - "Minimize nuisances, hazards, and other adverse
impacts. ..to residential environments by preventing or minimizing
land use conflicts."
In general, this proposed amendment represents the replacement of
residentially classified property (for single family homes) located
immediately adjacent to the S.A.L. Railroad right-of-way, with
property classified as Public & Private Governmental/Institutional.
The single family home portion of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD would
become more protected from nuisances, hazards and negative impacts
associated with adjacency to the railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way by
separation from these rights-of-way resulting from the school's
recreation uses. Although several of these single family homes are on
the periphery of revised PUD boundary, and as a consequence of the
amendment, would now be adjacent to active recreation facilities
rather than other single family homes, the overall effect is a net
positive change given the increased distance between single family
lots and the railroad and 1-95 corridors. Most recreation uses are
generally compatible with residential uses, and any potential
nuisances or hazards anticipated from the active recreation facilities
(e.g. noise, lighting, traffic, etc.) would be addressed/mitigated
during the site plan review process.
Lastly, although there are no Comprehensive Plan policies that
specifically promote the provision of recreation facilities within
private schools, this proposed expansion of the school's recreation
facilities is consistent with the overall goal of the Recreation &
open space Element, which is partially shown below.
Goal #5 - "Provide adequate open space and recreational
facilities and programs to meet the needs of present and future
residents... ."
The following additional objectives, policies, and issues addressed
below are either typically referenced by the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA), or required by them to be analyzed in the
review of proposed amendments:
Memo No. 95-268
-3-
June 9, 1995
Obiective 1.2 - "Coordinate future land uses with soil conditions
so that urban land uses are prohibited in locations where it is
not economical to remove or treat unsuitable soils.. ."i and
Policy 1.2.1 - ".. .prohibit development of urban land uses where
the removal or treatment of unsuitable soils would be
uneconomical, provide that unstable soils shall be removed in all
construction and land development sites where soils would affect
the performance of infrastructure, drainage. ..".
No extreme soil conditions are known to be characteristic of this
propertYi however, this site is small and physically typical of
adjacent, developed properties. Furthermore, policies such as those
above will ensure the use of proper development techniques reviewed
during the site plan process.
Obiective 4.4 - "The city shall,.. .protect all remaining areas of
substantial native upland and wetland vegetation and eliminate
undesirable exotic tree species."i
Policy 4.4.1 - ".. .the city shall require...a detailed flora and
fauna survey on any liB or C" rated site...i and
Policy 1.11.14 - ".. .provide for open space preservation by
requiring the preservation of 25% of all "A", "B", and "C" rated
sites...".
These policies are not applicable as this property is not recognized
by the comprehensive plan as having any environmentally sensitive
characteristics preserved through application of comprehensive plan
policies.
Obiective 1.11 - ".. . future land uses shall include provisions
for the protection of.. . archaeological resources and historic
buildings.. .".
The city's comprehensive plan requires that historical resources and
archaeological sites be preserved and protected. However, the
subject property is undeveloped and there are no archaeological
amenities known to exist on this site.
7.b. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the
established land use pattern, or would create an isolated
district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, or would
constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property
owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfarei
and
7.e. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with
current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties, or
would affect the property values of adjacent properties.".
The proposed reclassification, rezoning, and use of the subject
property would provide for the expansion of an existing use (the Lake
worth christian School) which is consistent with the established land
use pattern within the area, as well as with the current and future
uses of adjacent and nearby properties. Furthermore, in addition to
being generally compatible with adjacent residential properties, the
proposed use may be more preferable over residential use at this
location, given the proximity of the property to the S.A.L. Railroad
and I-95 rights-of-way.
7.c. "Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed
rezoning desirable. II
If there are any changed conditions or circumstances which have
motivated this request (and potentially make the reclassification and
rezoning desirable or justified), they would include the modification
to the cedar Ridge Estates PUD master plan which included the
Memo No. 95-268
-4-
June 9, 1995
extraction of the subject property from the PUD, making it available
to the Lake Worth Christian School.
7.d. "whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with
utility systems, roadways, and other public facilities."
Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 9J-11 also requires that the
availability of public facilities be analyzed in connection with a
proposed amendment to a comprehensive plan, and that the maximum
potential demand upon public facilities be determined. The following
facilities were analyzed in order to ensure that capacity is
available:
Roads: Although Palm Beach County has not completed its review of the
traffic analysis, it appears that the traffic impact analysis reviewed
not only use of the subject property, but traffic impact anticipated
from the School's proposed master plan (as a site-specific rezoning).
Since the study references 382 additional trips per day to be
generated by a 350 student expansion of an elementary and middle
school, it is unclear whether the additional outdoor recreation
facilities, additional school buildings and auditorium were evaluated.
The traffic analysis concluded that traffic to be generated from the
master plan would not exceed established levels of service of impacted
road segments, and would comply with requirements of the Palm Beach
County Traffic Performance Standards ordinance. Therefore, traffic
concurrency certification will be limited to an additional 382 trips
per day and is subject to any comments from Palm Beach County.
water/Sewer: The City's utility Department reviewed the proposed
amendment and indicated that water and sewer capacities are available
to serve the minimal demands of the proposed recreation uses.
However, they recommend that a fire flow test be conducted in order to
determine if the flow requirement for institutional uses, 1,500
gallons per minute (gpm), can be met. In comparison, the fire flow
requirement for residential uses is 500 gpm;
Solid Waste: The Solid Waste Authority reviewed this request and does
not object to the proposed amendment as ample capacity exists to serve
the future solid waste collection and disposal needs generated on this
site;
Drainage: The analysis of the proposed amendment by the Lake Worth
Drainage District indicated that the subject area is not within the
service area of the Lake Worth Drainage District; and
Recreation: Not applicable/No impact.
7.f. "Whether the property is physically and economically
developable under the existing zoning.lf;
When the subject property was extracted from the Cedar Ridge Estates
PUD, the property became undevelopable as zoned, since there no longer
existed a corresponding master plan (planned unit development zoning
requires a master plan for zoning approval). Furthermore, the subject
property became land-locked by loss of direct access to High Ridge
Road as a result of the separation from the PUD master plan, with the
intent that access would be provided through the school property, once
assembled with it.
7.g. "Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is
reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the city
as a whole."
With respect to scale, the proposed amendment and use are consistent
with the existing and future use of adjacent properties. Furthermore,
given the confined location of this property, its proximity to the
adjacent railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way, and since it represents only
a minimal 11 unit decrease in planned housing units, the proposed
Memo No. 95-268
-5-
June 9, 1995
amendment is arguably unrelated to the function of the city as a whole
and the projected need for available housing units (since the
amendment would reduce the land available for residential use).
7.h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for
the proposed use, in districts where such use is already allowed.
There are several zoning districts that allow schools as a permitted
use. However, this request is for expansion of an adjacent school and
not location of a new school site. Therefore, selection of vacant
property adjacent to the school that is suitable for expansion of the
school facilities is the relevant issue. schools are ideally located
and are encouraged in residential areas. The suggestion that a new
school location is necessary in order for the school to expand is
contrary to the objective of locating schools within residential
areas.
REVIEW OF "CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN"
The Lake worth christian School Society, Inc. plans for expansion
include addition of an elementary school, an auditorium, and
renovation and addition of recreation facilities. The acquisition of
the subject property has advanced their plans, which are now in a
conceptual master plan form. The Society included a copy of this
conceptual master plan with the subject application for courtesy
review by staff to identify and address any problems early in the
school's expansion process and to better analyze with this rezoning
any potential impacts upon the adjacent, planned residential
development. The plan was also used to evaluate traffic impacts
associated with the request.
The conceptual master plan was reviewed by the Technical Review
Committee and Joe Basil, the developer of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD.
The more significant comments relative to emergency service/access,
circulation, location of utilities, and impact on the planned
residential community are itemized below. Complete comments will be
generated at time of formal site plan submittal:
1) The southern ball field is oriented with those areas of the
ball field which tend to generate the most noise, light and
activity immediately adjacent to the planned single family homes
of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD (it should be noted that although
staff would suggest that the ball field be reoriented to maximize
the distances between the planned homes and the active areas of
the ball fields, Mr. Basil has indicated that the buyers of the
adjacent lots intentionally selected those locations for their
proximity to the recreation areas of the school, and redesign of
the recreation facilities may consequently place less desirable
elements adjacent to the residential development, and redirect
ball field lighting toward the planned single family homes);
2) The swimming pool should be relocated in close proximity to
the existing or planned road system in order to facilitate
efficient emergency access;
3) Properly engineered design techniques which are both
aesthetic and safe for the adjacent residents will be necessary
between the south ball field and residential community to address
the significantly higher elevation of this portion of the planned
unit development;
4) If the ball fields are to be fenced in, utility lines should
be placed outside of the fenced areas to maximize accessibility
to utility lines for maintenance needs, and to avoid unnecessary
damage to ball fields when the lines must be accessed;
5) If sanitary sewer lines remain within fenced areas,
consideration should be given to the use of a more durable
material than clay;
Memo No. 95-268
-6-
June 9, 1995
6) Consideration shall be give to redesign of the area, or
reorientation of the future elementary school in order to avoid
the necessity for children to cross the parking area in accessing
other recreation facilities;
7) The site plan is deficient of many details or criteria as
required in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 4, Site
plan Review. A few of the deficiencies indicated by staff
include utility easement locations, building elevations,
indication of compliance with Handicap Code and fire separation
requirements, and the lack of parking space counts and
identification of parking facilities intended to serve all
recreation elements, and particularly the pool and southern ball
field;
8) That portion of the roadway that was dedicated to the public
with recordation of the 1983 plat of Cedar Ridge Estates, but now
planned for school use shall be abandoned, and the unity of title
process completed in order to properly assemble the existing
school property with the subject property. These applications
and documents shall be submitted prior to adoption of the
rezoning ordinance;
9) The agreements to be established between the developer of
Cedar Ridge Estates and the Lake Worth Christian School, which
address drainage (the use by the school of the retention area
within the PUD and determination that drainage capacity to serve
the entire residential project will be maintained despite use of
the retention area by the school) and maintenance access (for the
school through cedar Ridge Estates) shall be finalized for review
by staff and the City Attorney prior to adoption of the rezoning
ordinance;
10) It is recommended that the subject property be replatted to
vacate the blocks, lots, easements and public rights-of-way that
were established by the 1983 Cedar Ridge Estates plat. At
minimum, the abandonment of the public right-of-way referenced in
comment 8 above shall be completed.
11) At time of site plan review, traffic shall be re-evaluated
to determine whether additional traffic, above the 382 daily
trips per day certified with this land use amendment and
rezoning, will be generated based on the specifics of the site
plan submittal.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Department recommends that the applications
submitted by J. Richard Harris and the Lake Worth christian School
Society, Inc., be approved, based on the following:
1. The proposed amendment and zoning would be consistent with
Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies;
2. The proposed amendment would not be contrary to the established
land use pattern, nor would it create an isolated district
unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, and nor would it
constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property
owner;
3. The requested land use and zoning would be compatible with
capacities of utility systems, roadways, and other public
facilities;
4. The proposed land use and zoning would be compatible with the
current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties and,
would not affect the property values of adjacent or nearby
properties;
Memo No. 95-268
-7-
June 9, 1995
5. The proposed land use and zoning are of a scale which is
reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the city
as a whole; and
6. The proposed land use and zoning are consistent with the
classification and zoning currently in place on the existing
school site.
7. The proposed land use and zoning satisfy the February 1995
conditions of the cedar Ridge Estates master plan modification
approval.
staff recommends that approval of these requests be conditioned upon
compliance with any comments received from Palm Beach County regarding
the traffic study, acceptance of the abandonment application and
receipt of all agreements referenced in the staff comments above,
prior to formal adoption of the rezoning ordinance and incorporation
of the staff comments listed above in the school's future site plan
submittal.
Note: Due to the applicant's request for two months postponement
of this request and insufficient notice given to staff to
readvertise this request for June 13th and 20th public hearings
before the Planning and Development Board and city Commission,
respectively, the applicant assumes all risk of any claim of
improper notification.

MEMORANDUM
14 March 1989
TO:
Chairman and Members
Planning and Zoning Board
FROM:
Carmen S. Annunziato
Planning Director
RE:
Lake Worth Christian High School Gymnasium Addition
Conditional Use Application
Summary: Timothy P. Dale, agent for the Lake Worth Christian
School Society, Inc., is requesting Conditional Use approval to
construct a 17,500 square foot gymnasium at the existing school,
site. The existing school, which occupies a 10.08 acre parcel,
is located on the east side of High Ridge Road, south of Hypoluxo
Road. The school is zoned R-1AA, Single-Family Residential.
Secondary schools are permitted subject to Conditional Use
approval in the R-1AAA zoning district.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning: Abutting the subject parcel to
the north is a single-family subdivision zoned RS, Single-Family
Residential, in Palm Beach County. Abutting the subject parcel
to the east is the right-of-way for the Seaboard Airline Railroad
and Interstate 95. Abutting the subject parcel to the south are
vacant single-family platted lots within the Cedar Ridge Estates
Planned Unit Development (PUD), with the exception of the lot
adjacent to High Ridge Road which is zoned RS in Palm Beach
County and is currently owned by the Lake Worth Christian School.
Abutting the subject parcel to the west is the right-of-way for
High Ridge Road. Further to the west across High Ridge Road, are
single-family homes on large platted lots zoned RS in Palm Beach
County.
Proposed Use (see attached copy of site plan): The applicant is
- proposing to construct a 17,500 square foot gymnasium to serve
the existing high school. The existing parking lot is proposed
to be renovated to meet the requirements of Article X, Parking
Lots. A new parking lot addition is also proposed on the north
side of the gymnasium. Included with this application is a
request for approval of a shared parking allocation (see attached
copy of the parking study).
Standards for Evaluating Conditional Uses: Section 11.2.0 of the
Zoning Regulations contains the following standards to which
conditional uses are required to conform. Following 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 conneotion therewith, may grant
conditional u.e. absolutely or conditioned upon the faithful
adherence to and of fulfillment of such restrictions and
conditions including, but not limited to, the dedication of
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 ~oncerning 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 property would occur by way of the two
existing driveways onto High Ridge Road. These two driveways
provide sufficient access to the site. As required by the
Parking Lot Regulations, the applicant has submitted a
traffic control plan which provides for placement of traffic
signs and pavement striping. A stabilized fire lane has been
provided around the perimeter of the proposed gymnasium to
allow for emergency vehicle access in case of fire or
catastrophe.
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 nearby properties, and
the city as a whole.
The applicant has submitted a shared parking study which
indicates that sufficient parking has been provided to meet
the needs of the school when in operation and the gymnasium
during major athletic events (see attached report on shared
parking). It is not anticipated that the proposed use would
create a nuisance for the existing residences located to the
north and across High Ridge Road to the west, as the proposed
gymnasium will be located in the south/central portion of the
site, at least 200 feet from the nearest residence.
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 at the east end of the
new parking lot addition, north of the proposed gymnasium.
The Acting Public Works Director has indicated that this
......-::
would be a suitable location for the dumpster.
4. Utilities with reference to locations, availability, and
compatibility.
The existing utility systems and the proposed extensions are
adequate to serve the proposed use. However, some additional
fire hydrant protection will be required, as noted in the
comments from the Utilities Director.
5. Screening, buffering, and landscaping with reference to type,
dimensions and character.
Some additional landscaping is required for the renovated
parking lot and the new parking lot addition. The proposed
landscaping meets the requirements of the landscape code.
6. Signs and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to
glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility and
harmony with adjacent and nearby properties.
There are no additional signs proposed. With respect to
lighting, the applicant has hired the Florida Power and Light
Company to prepare a site lighting plan that meets the
minimum requirements of the Parking Lot Regulations. The
details of this plan will be reviewed by staff, prior to
permitting. It is not anticipated that the proposed lighting
plan will create a nuisance to surrounding land uses.
7. Required setbacks and other open spaces.
The proposed setbacks for the new gymnasium exceed the
requirements of the R-1AA zoning district regulations.
8. General compatibility with adjacent properties and other
properties in the zoning district.
The proposed gymnasium is consistent with the current use of
the property and it is not anticipated that there will be any
adverse impacts to adjacent properties. The closest existing
residence is located over 200 feet to the north of the
proposed gymnasium and the vacant single-family lots which
were platted as part of the Cedar Ridge Estates Planned Unit
Development lie over 70 feet to the south.
9. Height of buildings and structures, with reference to
compatibility and harmony with adjacent and nearly
properties, and the City as a whole.
The proposed building height is thirty and one-half feet. On
February 21, 1989 the City Commission approved a height
exception to allow for an additional six feet above the
twenty five feet permitted under the R-1AA zoning district
regulations. It is not anticipated that the proposed
.....-::
building height would create a conflict with surrounding land
uses.
10. Economic effects on adjacent properties and the City as a
whole.
It is not anticipated that the proposed gymnasium addition
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.
"Provides a suitable living environment in all neighborhoods."
(p.6)
"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)
Conclusions/Recommendation
The proposed use and development of the property would be
compatible with the surrouding neighborhood and would be
consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies, therefore, the
Planning Department recommends that this Conditional Use
application be approved subject to the attached staff comments.

MEMORANDUM
9 February 1989
TO:
Chairman and Members
Planning and Zoning Board
FROM:
Carmen S. Annunziato
Planning Director
RE:
Lake Worth Christian School
Shared Parking Allocation
Section 11-H(13) of Appendix A, Zoning, contains the following
provision for shared parking:
Parking spaces required in this ordinance for one use or
structure may be allocated in part or in whole for the required
parking spaces of another use or structure if quantitative
evidence is provided showing that parking demand for the
different uses or structures would occur on different days of the
week or at different hours. Quantitative evidence shall include
estimates for peak hour/peak season parking demand based on
statistical data furnished by the Urban Land Institute or an
equivalent traffic engineering or land planning and design
organization. Quantitative evidence may also include, where
appropriate, field studies and traffic counts prepared by a
traffic consultant experienced in the preparation of parking
studies. In addition, a minimum buffer of ten (10) percent shall
be provided to ensure that a sufficient number of parking spaces
are available at the peak hour/peak season of parking demand.
Calculation of said buffer shall be based on the total number of
parking spaces determined to be required at the peak hour/peak
season of parking demand. Evidence for joint allocation of
required parking space shall be submitted to the Technical Review
Board, and approval of joint allocation of required parking
spaces shall be made by the City Commission, after review and
recommendations by the Planning and Zoning Board.
With respect to the above, Timothy P. Dale of Dale Construction
Corporation, agent for the Lake Worth Christian School Society,
Inc., is requesting approval of a shared parking allocation in
connection with Conditional Use approval to allow for the
addition of a 17,500 square foot gymnasium. The school is
located on the east side of High Ridge Road, south of Hypoluxo
Road.
The City's Parking Lot Regulations require that J'in the instance
of a parking lot serving an existing building or group of
buildings where said building or group of buildings is/are to be
enlarged, the entire parking lot shall be modified to meet the
requirements of this article." In connection with the request
for approval of the gymnasium, the applicant is also requesting
approval of a revised parking lot plan in order to meet the
design and landscape requirements specified by the City's
development regulations. Also included is a new addition at the
east end of the parking lot.
As indicated in the attached parking study, the City's zoning
regulations would require 145 spaces for the existing school
facilities and 48 spaces for the proposed gymnasium (193 spaces
total). The proposed site plan would provide a total of 102
parking spaces. The peak hour parking demand for the school
facilities occurs on Monday - Friday between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00
p.m. with a demand for 68 of the 102 parking spaces that would be
provided. The peak hour parking demand for major events at the
gymnasium would occur after 5:00 p.m. weekdays and on weekends
when classes are not in session. The parking required for the
gymnasium (48 spaces) plus the parking demand for after-school
activities (20 spaces) would generate a combined demand for 68 of
the 102 parking spaces provided. The buffer in either situation
would be 68 + 7 = 75 parking spaces which allows for an
additional surplus of 27 parking spaces beyond that required by
Section 11-H(13) of the zoning regulations. The applicant is
seeking to quantify, in this particular instance, that the
"parking demand for different uses occurs on different days of
the week or at different hours."
On Thursday, February 2, 1989 the Technical Review Board met and
recommended approval of the shared parking allocation based on
the documentation submitted. It was the consensus of the
Technical Review Board that there is sufficient on-site parking
proposed to accomodate the school during the weekday morning and
afternoon hours and the athletic events held in the gymnasium
during the weekday evening hours and on weekends.
